[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 803693, member: 13859"] It is to bad that the integrity of a group of cattle breeders has to be questioned but as times has changed so has the people. I think it is a step in the right direction as [at least in the hereford breed] a required dna test would have eliminated the Titan controversy and a few more. Those type of things do not do any breed any good. I remember seeing one of the first frame 8 angus bulls and my dad was along and said "just a damn black holstein" and the bull definetly had the dairy bull disposition. DNA whould have answered the question of what he really was. To me as a old hereford breeder, I beleive dna is ths right thing to do as it will be only on the bulls that are used to produce reg. cattle. I once got burned on a bull from a reputation herd that were useing some titan cattle for size and milk and cleaned up amess a few years later by buying a lot of grey steer and heifer calves back from customers and replaced their bulls. Hard lesson learnedand costly. Also had some females selected as replacements that went to the deepfreeze biz. [/QUOTE]
