[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 381693, member: 3972"] I'm not a breed purist, much more of a pragmatist. BUT, having been raised by the [b]most honest man[/b] I've ever known(who was a breed purist!), I have to constantly guard against my idealistic tendencies creeping in past that point of pragmatism. It all boils down to philosophy and OUR differences in philosophy are apparent based on some of the posts that you've made here, HerefordSire. This is another one! Personally, I want to maintain my herd integrity as well as MY own integrity! If I produce a product that I DON'T believe in, I'm sure not going to sell it to someone else! [b]And that places no heavy burden on my shoulders at all![/b] But money isn't my motivating factor in choosing to breed Hereford cattle. I never have to sell a single animal for breeding stock if I don't want to. I do HOPE the cattle that I produce will have appeal to others, but they first have to appeal to ME before I will make them available! My point is: IF my Hereford cattle have Simmental blood in them, I'd like to know it! Then it is up to me what I do with the information, the same as everyone else. What I abhor is the fact that so many people seem to want the "dirt" swept under the carpet and keep it hidden there. George [/QUOTE]
