[QUOTE="OK Jeanne, post: 436101, member: 3333"] What the board of AMGA tried to pull, in the year 2000, would have turned half the purebred breeders into commercial herds overnight. They only relented on their "cow tax" whole-herd reporting scheme (and now allow regular one-time registration) after they lost over half their membership. If they had succeeded, many many valuable bloodlines would have been lost as far as purebred pedigrees are concerned. Overall, it was an attempt by a few breeders, who were in control of the board, to force [u][i][b]all [/b][/i][/u]the membership to pay for a service that most were not interested in for themselves. So it goes. I'm personally not offended or upset at the thought of Murray Greys being a "niche" breed. IMO their highest and best use is to produce beef in a direct-marketing production plan; in part because of the genetic propensity for tenderness. [/QUOTE]
