[QUOTE="txag, post: 309408, member: 8"] i disagree. i think it's a good ad. while i would certainly like to see herefords in every pasture in North America, it'll never happen. for one, anyone that is raising commercial cattle & not using a crossbreeding program is missing out on one of their greatest advantages.....hybrid vigor. it's free money & if you don't utilize a crossbreeding program, then you're leaving it on the table. well, unfortunately, there are people who probably don't know this but [i]are[/i] still raising cattle. and there are some that do know this, but are still choosing to run simmental bulls or charolais bulls on those angus cows. targeting the commercial cattleman is smart marketing. the majority of the nation's cowherd is black, and the AHA isn't going to change that overnight. a good start is to add some white faces to that black cowherd. disposition is one of the greatest aspects of the hereford breed (according to the recent AHA on-line poll--Disposition (199 votes - 61.0%) ) and i agree that your idea would be a good ad. but only marketing to newbies with a potential maximum herd of 5 cows won't get us very far. imo, [i]any[/i] increase in demand for hereford cattle is a good thing and money well-spent.
