[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 146378, member: 2095"] The biggest difference is that they straightbreed. A REg. Hereford breeder can ONLY use reg. Hereford bulls crossed to reg. Hereford cows or he is no longer in the business of selling registered Herefords. There is NO crossbreeding in the registered business(except in the creations of composites or F1s; but that is another side of the seedstock biz). A commercial breeder on the other hand typically gets better production by crossing two or three breeds and usually none of the females are registered or purebred. A common commercial herd would be Hereford crossed with Angus cows bred to Simmental or Charolais bulls. The combinations are endless and the quality is very variable. Some commercial guys also straightbreed for simplicity's sake but generally these cows (even if possibly pure) generally are not allowed to be registered. [/QUOTE]
