[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1652850, member: 24816"] Yes that is the generally accepted history of the origins of polled Herefords. Among circles of breeders though that history though is called into question. I have heard the arguments that there were no mutations and that it had to come from outside and influence such as red poll. Have also heard speculation that there would not have been enough individuals with the polled mutation to have been found to feasibly work with. As far s I am concerned at this point it doesn’t really matter to me as I see it other breeds have likely been introduced at more points along the way as well. If I were a registered breeder marketing to others I would personally maintain the integrity of a breed as it were. [/QUOTE]
