[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 23231, member: 245"] I keep hearing you guys talking about how the gene pool in certain breeds isn't big enough. I must assume then that you must be thinking of these breeds in terms of raising them as purebreds. As a commercial breeder, I can't see what the difference would be to using a galloway or any bull from a less common breed as long as it is giving me the traits that I am looking for in my next generation of heifers. Also, I get quite a bit more hybrid vigor when crossing to these less common breeds. Am I missing something here? [/QUOTE]
