[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 681437, member: 3972"] My "theory" is that it is the result of the race for frame and then the race for extreme growth EPDs. That, along with the desire to reduce backfat to a bare minimum has made for a lot of cattle that have very little capacity and "good-doing" ability. I don't think this problem is unique to Herefords, either. There are some thick Herefords out there. A lot of the prominent breeders are searching for bulls that breed some capacity back in to their cattle. George [/QUOTE]
