[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 417860, member: 3972"] Alan, if your proposed "regulation" had been in place in the 40s-50s, there is a chance that a lot of the registered cattle that provided the genetics to get America's cowherd back to practical productivity and increased size would have never been allowed to have been registered. How would have the Prospectors fared under "regulation" - a line started out of known dwarfism carriers to prove that you could breed the genetic defect out through selection and trial. Without the Prospector line, the Felton cattle wouldn't exist today - or would likely be very different. Be careful what you wish for! George [/QUOTE]
