[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 615494, member: 7645"] Hey, I absolutely LOVE those folks who spend their time and their money preserving heritage breeds of livestock. I have 6 Cayuga ducks [url=http://www.albc-usa.org/cpl/waterfowl/cayuga.html]http://www.albc-usa.org/cpl/waterfowl/cayuga.html[/url] instead of regular ducks like the Pekin because I prefer to support the rare breed breeders.....and Cayugas are a completely bomb proof duck. Sometimes though people CHANGE because they are responding to what the market demands. You got over a 100 cows and you can keep 50 legacy cows and 50 Next Great Thing type cows; but if the Next Great Thing cows are the ones selling the bulls, generating the interest, winning the ribbons there is a lot of pressure to turn those legacy cows into recipients and it is real expensive to promote two breeds or even two different type phenotypes within a breed. I am sure there are a lot of people who look back and wish they, their dad, or their Grandad had made some different decisions. Of course now we can freeze, semen, embryos, and DNA so you CAN relive your livestock breeding past, in case you do make a mistake going forward. [/QUOTE]
