[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1675508, member: 14585"] 18 yrs - the Hays Converter breed developed by Harry Hays started in 1957 was awarded new breed status by the Canadian Dept of Agriculture in 1975. Hays founded the breed on 3 individuals from 3 breeds (2 bulls and 1 cow) that he believed were ideal for beef production for his location near Alberta Canada. Hereford sire Silver Prince Holstein sire Fond Hope Brown Swiss cow Jane of Vernon and hereford cows from the neighboring Baker herd He started by breeding hereford cows to 8 sons of the holstein bull Fond Hope for 2 years. Then selected the best daughters from this cross and bred them to the hereford bull Silver Prince = 3/4 hereford 1/4 holstein offspring and he selected the 5 best bulls produced and bred them to their own mother (Fond Hope granddaughters) 1/2 hereford 1/2 holstein x 3/4 hereford 1/4 holstein = 5/8 hereford 3/8 holstein He mated 4 great grand sons from the Brown Swiss cow Jane of Vernon to Hereford cows = 1/2 hereford 1/2 Brown Swiss offspring and the females went into his breeding herd and were bred to the bulls from the mother x son matings 1/2 hereford 1/2 Brown Swiss x 5/8 hereford 3/8 holstein bulls = Hays Converters 9/16 hereford 1/4 brown swiss 3/16 holstein His breeding program followed strict survival of the fittest guidelines and took 12 years to complete, closing the herd to new blood in 1969. Canadian Dept of Ag inspected his herd and breeding program in 1974 and awarded new breed status in 1975. 1957-1975 = 18 years to achieve his goal of creating a new breed designed to perform in his region in Canada. (good cattle, problem was they didn't perform quite as well under different conditions in USA or other regions) [/QUOTE]
