Lims might actually be a newer problem, the suspicion is to get red necks.
Polled Herefords will dehorn. Someone looking for a show fad chaser wouldn't care if they were introducing horned genes to the pool or not. Some polled bloodlines have a lot of scurs.....
I honestly want to believe that it is not true, that it never happened.
Other breeds do it on purpose, and even endorse it. You have black this and black that, and purebreds versus fullbloods in some breeds.
There are many, many, good honest Hereford breeders who would never think of intentionally introducing anything else to their herd, Campground at the head of the committee.
We are straying from the real intent of my post, and that is that I don't understand why so many want to exterminate horned Herefords from the face of the earth, when they still have something valuable to bring to the table. The Line One genetic pool for instance, is only beginning to develop a polled branch.
