[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 991390, member: 1683"] AllForage- I understand your apprehension and concern completely! I told myself a few years ago that I was not going to get involved in this "Irish Blacks"/Maurice Boney/Copyright embroilment any more than I had already become by attempting to convince Mr. Boney of the expediency of accepting the reality of the usage of EPD's in the current Beef Producing World. I had many long and sometimes quite "heated" face-to-face verbal exchanges with Maurice in my attempt to convince him to get "up-to-date" with the majority of the beef breeding communities in regard to the emphasis of the use of EPD's in his breeding herd. This effort was approached as much with emphasis toward merchandising and advertising his cattle as it was in improving his protocols in breeding decisions and selection of seedstock - [b][u]INCLUDING[/u][/b] - carcass and feedlot traits and characteristics - both qualitative and quantitative. The result, literally, was like talking to a wall! :bang: One might even associate the experience as - :deadhorse: Therefore, the website that you find currently on the Internet is a result of everything that Eric Grant (Current Angus Association "Director of Public Relations" and PR GUY on CattleToday) and I could convince him to accept. This is my opinion: If the breeder's of Irish Blacks and Irish Reds cattle would compose themselves, and establish a[u][b] pragmatic [/b][/u] and [b]reasonable[/b] EPD program, and intelligently publicize the Irish Blacks & Reds qualities, stressing carcass and feedlot merits, the entire Beef Cattle Breeds communities [b]and [/b] the beef-eating consumers would benefit. The Irish Blacks roasts, rib-eye steaks, Filet Mignon's that I have eaten were the [b]most[/b] delicious, flavorful, marbled, and juiciest I have ever eaten! :roll: . . . and I have no dog in this fight!
