[QUOTE="Willow Springs, post: 659486, member: 9002"] Yes he is in a lot of pedigrees. However purebred cattle are exactly that; pure bred. They started with a mish mash of animals that a certain breeder or group of breeders liked and moved up from there. Colour and type were fixed and in many cases outside cattle introduced to try and improve the "breed". So to think that any breed is actually pure is nonsense. It is also naive to deny that bulls of the 70's and early eighties had some holstein and chi bred into them; the proof is in the body type and structure. However if purity is a problem then we should also chastise Simmental, Limo, Gelbvieh, Hereford, Shorthorn, etc, etc as they all carry gentics from other breeds. If fact some of those breeds (or portions of) more closely resemble the breed type and traits of those that were bred in than the original. Does it make them "bad"? [/QUOTE]
