[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1320052, member: 21626"] I haven't heard of white heifer disease. As a breed, we've heard the complaints about what the showring has done, and many breeders are working to correct that. One recent trend has been to move towards "no fit" shows, which I feel will help bring more emphasis on productive functional cattle because you can't hide flaws or shape an animal with adhesives and hair. [b]Out of curiosity, what do you guys think would help restore the image of the breed as a productive animal again?[/b] I'm trying to increase thickness in my cattle, while also reducing birth weights. It's a challenge, but I believe I've found some bulls capable of doing so. They're just hidden in the pastures of small herds with limited semen availability. [/QUOTE]
