[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 337723, member: 4353"] W.B. it seems like I had the two mixed up. this is from Gary Witherspoon's website: In America, two universities are best known for the closed lines of Herefords they developed. These are Montana State University and Colorado State University. These schools selected particular original groups of herefords as their base genetic pool, and then developed them as closed lines, meaning they never bred any of them to animals outside the original group or linebred descendents of the original group. The most famous of these are the Line Ones developed at MSU and the Prospectors developed at CSU. Each of these breeding programs had 8 or 10 other closed lines but they did not develop the overall excellence and popularity that the Prospectors and the Line Ones did. That could be both due to the original animals selected and the success of the selection program within those lines. [/QUOTE]
