[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 262737, member: 2095"] Apparently our grandfathers and great grandfathers generations believed that the Hereford, Angus, Shorthorn, Brahman, and other breeds available at the time were BETTER than the Sussex. Later when new breeds like Charolais, Simmentals, Limousins. Gelbviehs, etc were imported and when old breeds like Texas Longhorns were remultiplied, the cattlemen at the time were either unaware of Sussex cattle or did not think that they offered anything we did not already have. Since those dudes were pretty successful with what they did and I am not willing to reinvent the wheel, I am inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt that they made the right decision. However I do applaud persons who keep small breeds alive in case we have need of those lineages in the future. [/QUOTE]
