Ive been looking in some of the sire catalogs and have noticed a trend in the past 10 years or so that Birth Weights have been climbing exponentially now personally i don't care for pulling calves on first year heifers but maybe Im missing something.

Maybe you should get the facts before you make a comment that video is not true steer tripping i use steer tripping on a regular basis to doctor larger animals by myself without bringing them in there was no need to drag that steer but i obviously dont represent everyone on my side of the...

Lets not forget I never said that Herefords dont perform i said that in MY operation i have noticed that the breed character is all but lost. Again let me remind everyone that this post was a general observation of breed character being lost.

Got a couple of bruised ribs more from a moronic ranch hand than the bull but still it hurts glad to hear everyone is going to make a full recovery God bless :cboy:

People say the world has become desensitized but in reality people have become overly sensitive and get up in the morning looking for something to offend them. they lurk on every website on the web and wait for something like this i will not back down i will not falter in my own beliefs and...

My advice is go to a pawn shop you can get some really good cameras for cheap.

I hear what you are saying those are the traits of the newer bloodlines that i do want to keep but I also feel that there is a lot to be gained from getting back to basics a little bit.

There are definitely many traits that i am using some new lines to try to bring in to the program. However I feel my specific needs call for a little older blood.

It was a cranky old rancher here in my area I'm not sure if he misunderstood me or if he is just crazy.

Exactly what I'm saying thank you for putting into words for me. I am trying to breed back some of the domino traits into my herd right now.

When Herefords came from across the pond they were known for being well adapted for harsher conditions they could get out and cover some ground and they were known for their outstanding marbeling along with grade. I hope this answers your question.

Don't get me wrong I love numbers they are just one tool in the chest though. I am more apt to buy an animal that may be stronger from a phenotypical stand point.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I just think that my Herefords will perform best if i breed back the look and performance of when they first came to America. You know hearty and sound with great carcass traits.

I was recently told with regard to my views on breeding stock that structure is a thing of the past. However i feel that if we lose structure we lose production. I was just wondering if this was a common thought process or if this is just a cranky old rancher lookin for trouble.

Thank you all for your imput :tiphat: I apoligize that i cant respond to you all. However i feel that in my own opperation I am trying to return to the breed standard of the European phenotype. I understand that many of you agree so my intention was to raise awareness more or less and i dont...
