[QUOTE="DLD, post: 1328454, member: 19707"] My point was that Polled Herefords came from an apparent genetic mutation from purebred (theoretically anyway) horned Herefords. Same for Red Angus from black Angus. As far as whether horned Herefords are more pure than polled ones, all I have to say is that no breed is immune to human influence. Somewhere in every breed there are going to be cattle that aren't what they're supposed to be. Hopefully it's a small percentage, but it's gone on for generations (and almost certainly will continue) and thus continues to spread exponentially beyond it's sources. If you believe otherwise, you're very naive, but I certainly admire your faith in humanity. [/QUOTE]
