[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 381230, member: 97"] One of the things I find interesting is how in the last few years some of the Hereford breeders have began testing and admitting to their bulls/heifers (certain hereford bloodlines) carrying the diluter gene (produces rat tails ).... Now I could be wrong- but I don't remember the Hereford breed ever having any problems producing rat tails back in the old days (a problem with dwarfs, but not rattails) - only since the importation of the Continental breeds and the dilutor gene... Could this be how some of the bloodlines increased in frame size so fast? A little Simmental or Fleckvieh hiding in the woodpile? [/QUOTE]
