Bobmarkwillis (talk) 19:26, 5 June 2008 (UTC)If someone wishes the first two paragrahs of this article could be corrected by consulting Rhoad, A.O. the Santa Gertrudis Breed: The Genesis and the Genetics of a New Breed of Beef Cattle, Journal of Heredity 15 (5):115-26Reply

Paragrah 1 corrections:

Rhoad discusses the lineage of Monkey, the foundation sire, and his dam and names Monkey's sire Vinotero. (page 121) The breeding program is documented at the King Ranch.

The article illustrates the pedigree of the King Ranch breeding efforts. (page 120-121)

In 1918 King Ranch purchased 52 bulls of 3/4 to 7/8 Bos indicus breeding. The American Brahman breed as such did not exist at this time nor where there pure-breed Bos indicus available in the United States. (page 120)

Paragrah 2 corrections:

Monkey, born in 1920, was a product of the 1918 bull purchase. The work, starting in 1910 with the O'Connor bull and his son Chemmera was merely experimental. (page 121)

Many races were made in XX Century

The article writes:"becoming the first beef breed formed in the United States, as well as the first breed developed anywhere in the world in over a century".Well, here in Brazil, some beef breed were created in the XX Century: Indo-Brazilian and Tabapuan are examples.Agre22 (talk) 03:14, 30 July 2009 (UTC)agre22Reply
