[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 803755, member: 13859"] Jeanne, No we did not breed the black bull, he came out of the state of Washington and was used by a large well known breeder and when we saw him he was on a neighbors purebred operation. The grey calves I bought back were out of bulls that we had sold to our commercial customers and on their cows produced these diluter calves. The thing that bothered me the most was after we had purchased the herd bull,I asked the people ,that had raise'd him if there would be any problems if we used him on our registered cows and their answer was we would use him ourselves. Know I'm one of the old breeders that grew up inthe hereford dwarfdays and should have known better. But instead took a reputeable breeders word. After an extencive search i found found one of the highly touted sons of 22D in his pedigree.This was before we had PC's available and we did things like that with pen and paper.Always had to do some researchboth through tha AHA and read advertised pedigrees. Like I said before a big mistake BUT it could have been worse if we would'nthave discovered this when we did we had tremendous interest in this particular bull by a number of fellow hereford breeders as he was a super type of bull complete with perfect red to the ground and loads of pigment. I shudder to think what damage this one could have done to our breed . It has always hurt me to see what length's some people will do to get ahead nevermind what they leave behind as their legacy.
