[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 612429, member: 3235"] As far as I know, all herefords registered in the AHA do not have any other breed inluence as the Hereford book has not been opened to other breeds, knowingly. I don't have a problem with a group of people organizing together to promote a particular line or lines of cattle. It is done all the time. But this may be a marketing ploy to promote cattle with certain pedigrees. Just because these lines trace back to the original stud book doesn't make them better. It is the breeders of the cattle and their knowledge of cattle breeding and their selection criteria that may or may not make them better, but pedigree alone won't cut it for me. It is no different than selecting simply for EPDs. I would have an interest in using them, but first convince me that they are a superior product or at least contribute positively in my breeding goals. I for one don't want to go back to the horned herefords that I grew up with. Just because they are old pedigrees doesn,t make them superior. I am quite familiar with some of the attributes that were lost during the show and frame craze and true, some very good and usefull cattle went by the wasyside, but you need to be pretty carefull in which old bull you use.
