[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1637971, member: 24816"] I’m in agreement, as all major breeds of cattle have gone through some extreme phenotypical changes and back and forth over time to meet the demands of the industry at the respective times. I think the sticking point for some is that polledness in Herefords is thought to be the result of outside breed influence rather than the mutation concept that has been widely accepted. To me personally it doesn’t make a lot of difference in that particular instance as I believe that there is a significant amount of outside breeding within all breeds to account for the dramatic changes in phenotype overall. While I appreciate efforts to keep breeds pure so that their respective traits can continue to be utilized. I also understand the desire to meet the demands of a given market, ie more solid coloring, pigmented eyes, polledness and even black hided. [/QUOTE]
