[QUOTE="herefordsabu88, post: 743899, member: 13704"] I'mnot quite sure how they judge herefords where you farm but in Ireland and the UK the lineback would be seen as a slight negative to an animal in general. Eg. if you had an outstanding heifer and she had clearly superior conformation, the lineback would be overlooked but if it was a tight call most judges WOULD penalise the heifer with the lineback. Some judges then can be very traditional and would be very hard on the lineback and might put you down the line, however the majority wouldnt be that harsh. Personally i wouldnt be that hard on a lineback on a bull/hfr (i know of some in past-present that have bred v-well, though i suppose for a pedigree breeder anyway you'd rather it wouldnt take hold in your herd. Marking in Herefords (and most breeds) is somewhat cyclical and can change. Herefords over here at present must be dark red with adequate white in the right places. Anything too pale, or overly white-or not enough white,will usually be penalised in a competitive arena. [/QUOTE]
