[QUOTE="alexfarms, post: 661734, member: 8677"] Fascinating, Captain. And to think that all these years I have always thought the term "feather neck" referred to the strip of white on the top of the neck that resembled a white feather in contrast to the red surrounding it. I am a stickler for "correct" markings. We always liked the white feather to stop at the hair crown. I believe the association reccommends the white feather go no farther back than where the back rib joins the back, which is nearly the middle of the back. I have a really nice bull calf with extra white, the feather extends beyond the last rib, and I may use him some next year. My late father would not approve. Red feathers on the sides of the neck?...never heard of that one before. I knew a very good, elderly, lifetime Hereford breeder who lamented that he couldn't fix a blaze face on his cattle. I think there need to be standards of some kind for any breed. [/QUOTE]
