[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1208962, member: 9096"] I think there are certainly a lot of cases of show breeding going contrary to what the beef industry needs.. Shorthorns are good examples of that... Options? well.. it would have to start AT the show... Rather than PUFFING up the hair, they're shown slick, the less hair the better... Now we can see what the animal really is, and there's no masking of faults with hair. Another option, which would NEVER happen, and well, whether it would work is debatable too, but lets say you had a separate registry, specifically for the beef side of it, and no animal that has had any member of the previous 2 generations shown (grandparents).. that would reduce the 'chase' for what is current in the show biz, and thus more emphasis would have to be placed on the productive side of the animal... Yes, a crazy thought! [/QUOTE]
