[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 125655, member: 2095"] I wanted an explanation of that statement too. With AI any Hereford breeder that prefers the bulls of the past can live in the past if he wants to. Enforcer 107H, Vindicator, WSF PRL Justa Banner, Braxton Giant 1, Victor Domino 1, RWJ Victor J3 212, etc (to name a few) are STILL active and I think are all still sold by Jim Reed. The oldest name I recognized on the Reed Enterprises Site is the 1961 model RWJ Victor F21 H125 bull. Why anybody today would use a Herf with only a +4 weaning wt EPD and a +4 Milk EPD is beyond my comprehension (mini-Herfs???s); but if you want a really old style Herf Jim Reed is selling the semen at only $5 a straw, $30 a certificate. If you want to use no post 1980 bull you don't have to in this day and age. If somebody wants to have an elite 1976 herd he could do that very easily and by stocking up on semen could live trapped in time for the next 20-30 years. If the old Herefords are better than the new Herefords, prove it by breeding the old Herefords. I personally see Herefords with the same qualities as those legendary sires and more performance all the time. I actually think there are MORE good Herfs floating around now than there was in the glorious 1970s. There MAY even be at least a bull or two in the breed that will beat the Salers!!!
