[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 325408, member: 2095"] If I understand his point right, he would rather not invest in a breed with an "open" herd book that still allows grading up. The Simmental example has been talked about a lot in the last couple of days. Imagine the ride of someone who had a herd of moderate framed black cows in the 70s who used large framed red/white and yellow/white Simmental bulls, even culling out the small black heifers, to eventually get a "purebred" registered herd of red/white and yellow/white Simmentals only to see his breed turn in many places into moderate framed black cows. I can certainly understand why someone would be a little hesitant about investing a lot of money into a breed where anybody who buys semen can turn ANY set of cows into a registered calf crop.
