[QUOTE="capt, post: 623051, member: 3759"] A very interesting question and very truly one that has the potential to cause a lot of BS to fly when there is no need. I would suggest, if I may, to change the question to who is a breeder and who is a multiplier. IMHO, most of the angus 'breeders' listed I would not necessarily call breeders but rather multipliers. I am not saying they do not have a program or are very successful in what they offer. I just don't agree with calling all of them a breeder. To make it interesting I will pony up and say two Angus outfits I would call breeders would be Jorgensen and Sinclair(N Bar included). Possibly also Green Garden Angus and Nichols Farms. Hereford side I would suggest Meitler, K&B, Pedretti, Jamison, Jim Lents, Frank Felton. No doubt that all or even anyone would agree with me, but to me there is a significant difference between being a breeder and being a multiplier. The future breeders in my mind are those with a plan in place, an understanding of mathematical statistics, a keen knowledge of animal breeding principles, the ability to evaluate cattle objectively and possess the discipline to keep the good and cull the bad.
