[QUOTE="East Caney, post: 565851, member: 2960"] You're going to have me staying up on these boards when I should be going to bed. If your thought was to be knowledgeable of both the positive and negative, it should have been stated differently. I've made no statements that each breed doesn't have strengths and weaknesses. I stand firm, however, that a stereotype will not cover every animal in a breed. Every breed is as good as the breeders who continue to produce the genetics. I'd be the first to tell you that some folks [b]leave[/b] steers uncut and try to sell them as bulls...that goes for every breed. I stated that NEGATIVE stereotypes should be cast away because NEGATIVE stereotypes are what seem to be expressed more frequently. Every farmer's market may not have good fruit. But if you're looking for good fruit, a farmer's market may be a good place to start. Likewise, a person looking for good, heat tolerant females may want to start with the Beefmaster breed. That doesn't mean that Kroger's, Brookshire's, and Walmart don't have good fruit too. Likewise, that doesn't mean that Angus, Hereford, (name your breed) doesn't have good females. So, I hope I've not upset you by posting the POSITIVE type animal that Beefmasters breeders are able to produce. If I have, it won't necessarily affect my sleep. And what, exactly, was so dishonest in my first post? EC (Edit is in bold print) [/QUOTE]
