[QUOTE="greenwillowhereford II, post: 578742, member: 7439"] I know of a breeder who sells quite a few purebred non registered Hereford bulls...probably 20 or 30 a year. He sells to commercial breeders, and registers none of his calves anymore. Fed up with the board... I think you are probably right about politics playing a role in whose bulls get used in the studies, and it's too bad. If the right bulls had been selected for the Harris Ranch project in California, I believe there would have been little or no quality grade difference in the Hereford sired and Angus sired cattle in the carcass phase. The advantage would then have been over $100 per head for the Hereford sired cattle instead of just $78. Given the power to do so, I'd have stacked the Hereford deck with Feltons, Ellis Farms, Knoll Crest Farms, and the like. [/QUOTE]
