[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 817799, member: 3972"] Knersie, I'm going to disagree with you here! Unlike you, I can actually remember 40 years ago - and I don't have to look at 40 year old magazines and pictures to know what the Hereford cattle were like back then. Generally, there has been a lot of improvement in both eyes and udders since 1971. Certainly there has been a great improvement in growth - although I now question whether some of the Herefords may have taken growth TOO far. Personally, I'd like to see some of the easy fleshing ability bred back into Herefords - and I think that was lost in the pursuit of higher growth EPDs and reduced BF EPDs. If you want to say NOT ENOUGH has been done - or that not enough has been done to disspell those old stigmas and to promote the improvement - then you might have a valid argument. But to say breeders have done "diddly squat" for 40 years is an overstatement! George [/QUOTE]
