[QUOTE="Elder Statesman, post: 497884, member: 7371"] I will agree with you that some breeders have worked hard at improving udders, feet and eyes. But there are a lot of good carcass cattle in those older bloodlines that got shoved to the back in the chase for frame, high performance, and the show ring. That is why you have folks looking back at SOME older genetics. They are looking to improve carcass and feed efficiency. Just like newer genetics, you have to do your homework and know what to look out for and becareful what you breed them to. And as far as Herefords reputation and today's genetics, it doesn't do our breed a lot of good when some of our "supposedly" progressive producers show crappy uddered cows in their sale catalog and proclaim them as their top donor cow. I have seen this several times the past few years. If I had a cow like that, I'd keep her hid in the back timber until I could get her to the sale barn, not flushing her for eggs. [/QUOTE]
