[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1583438, member: 968"] "The current thing that skews any beef selection today is the single trait selection for hide color. It is great for marketing but does nothing to make the basic functional cow." I totally agree with this. I have ALWAYS said, "I don't care if they are red, black or purple polka dotted, just so that they are GOOD". Do I like blaze face cattle? Absolutely. Do I go out of my way to breed for it? NO In my selection of bulls, I do not put one bull over another because he is blazed face. On the contrary, too much of a good thing becomes problematic. Blaze bred to blaze MAY (most likely) will give you WAAYYY too much white. [/QUOTE]
