[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1151049, member: 378"] I'll concede it must be a regional thing. If you take two identical steers to the market, same weight, same amount of muscle and the same potential carcass development only one was black and one was a herf. If the herf truly gets docked $20 cwt for it's hide I wouldn't own a herf cow. If you have a true polled herd of black cows I would buy a herf bull, if your herd is truly polled it would not matter if the bull was horned or not. I still feel it is easier to find a good horn herf than a good polled herf, but polled Herfs are catching up. Here my steers take about a $5 hit (Herfs) another $5 if I get horns. But mine and other Herfs at the sale have out sold plenty of black hides cattle in the past. [/QUOTE]
