[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 1120233, member: 3972"] If you let "Mother Nature" take its course, would there be any such thing as a Hereford, period? I suspect the ranges would be again filled with bison and perhaps a new more mongrelized version of the Longhorn. I've always thought [b]breeding cattle[/b] involved interfering with "Mother Nature", at least to the point where selection and mating decisions weren't totally left up to "survival of the fittest". Granted it can certainly be taken to the opposite extreme, but if you want to hang your hat on that "Mother Nature" argument, why not just turn them all in together and see what gets sorted and bred out?
