[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 85605, member: 57"] I dont think they are a joke either. It seems that anything that isnt Angus or Hereford or a combination of the two is considered a joke by a lot of people who frequent these boards. I dont think its so much that they are a "joke" as it is that numbers are just insignificant at this point in time. And its hard to get a breed that isnt already popular to be popular. I think because of the lower numbers they dont get the respect they probably deserve. Having said all that i have two qualms with the breed. One- having descending from one base animal (?) you have a problem with a shallow gene pool. I guess if they allow upbreeding you could improve that or maybe they have other base cows other than that one particular cow, i dont really keep up with it. Two- and this goes for baldies as well in my opinion- I THINK (my opinion again) that a cross between british and continental cattle would be better for vigor than a cross between british and british. just my worthless little opinion.
