[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1593597, member: 16303"] With breed associations, there always seems to be some sort of controversy. Some think that the promotion for the breed should be done by the association, another group of breeders want something else and it goes on and on. All of these programs cost money! But just how much should members of an association have to pay? From the looks of the fees charged by the Hereford Association, they look to be pretty reasonable. Several breed associations have their fees much higher! The Hereford used to be king and herds of Hereford cattle were very visible. What happened? Is what happened the fault of the association or the breeders? Can it be fixed? Members of the organization elect members to the board. Are the one that are being elected trying to do good for the breed or once elected are they using their position on the board to be self serving. This is an issue for all breed associations. Losing members and their herds along with registrations hurt the breed. For those that are left, it reduces the gene pool to select from. Members need to discuss their issues and do more that just talk about them. These are real concerns and need to be presented to the board. If they ignore these issues and concerns, then other alternatives should be sought! [/QUOTE]
