[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 738061, member: 3972"] The presence of the diluter gene in descendants is proof positive, to me, that Titan 23D was indeed part Simmental. But I'm not calling for a cleansing of the Association registry. That's not practical. To do so would cause hardship to innocent people and likely bankrupt the Association from the resulting lawsuits. However, if someone new to the business comes to me for advice, I'd give them the same advice that I was given 7 years ago. If you can CHOOSE to avoid this problem, why take it on? Those, like LFF and Hereford76, who already owned the cattle have to follow their own conscience. If I already owned 23D descendants, I would probably continue to push the influence out through generational turnover...and be certain that I didn't double up the influence through the bulls I used....and accept the fact that there's going to be a segment of potential customers who aren't going to be interested in their production. But that's not any different than choosing to raise horned Herefords, Polled herefords, or Herefords in general. There are a number of potential customers that won't be interested because they have horns...or they don't have horns...or they aren't black! George [/QUOTE]
