[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 756669, member: 7645"] What does in linebreeders and linebreeding programs is when industry accepted cattle type changes around them. A lot of historic Hereford lines of the distant past had a frame 4, 3, or even 2 frame cow as their ideal. When suddenly the industry shifted to feedlots and big rangy steers accomodating the demands of the commercial bull buyers and the show ring meant that a lifetime of breeding for uniformity and consistency had to go out the window for the ranch to remain commercially viable. Most Hereford lines existing at that time did not have the genetics within the line to consistently produce frame six bulls so most wound up outcrossing to Line One Herefords. [/QUOTE]
