[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 738039, member: 3972"] It really doesn't make a bit of difference what YOU think, Brandon! Or what I think, individually! As a purebred seedstock producer, having cattle with 23D in their pedigree adds a marketing problem - because there is still a number of potential buyers out there that have reservations about using those cattle in their own breeding program - for various reasons. One of those reasons is that there's going to be some buyer resistance to the cattle that THEY produce! That's the reason a couple of the mentors, whose advice I sought when returning to the Hereford business, gave when advising me. Both still owned a very few cattle (females) that trace to 23D themselves, among some sizable herds. Both know that the offspring of those cows appeal to a smaller portion of their customer base, regardless of how good they are. And both advised me to avoid having the same problem, since I was starting from scratch - that there were plenty of good Hereford cattle out there that didn't trace to 23D. George [/QUOTE]
