She is a horned hereford. She was bred to have horns so I will not be cutting them off. Also, we have polled cattle that milk just as good if not better than our horned cattle have so I think the horns=milk theory isn't very truthful. Of course thats just my opinion. Thank you Bez. I dont...

Oh I will be keeping her Aaron thats for sure. :) I dont know if you remember the post I posted a while back about my cows but if I remember right you liked my cow Aspen. Well thats her in the picture this is her first heifer calf. She was a big thing thats for sure. Scared me too death. But mom...

Thank you Bez. I guess I should of tried a search but I was in a hurry so I didnt even think about it. :) I wasnt too hot on the Rebar idea either. Thanks for the information!

Has anyone ever weighted the horns on any of their cattle? I have a horned hereford heifer that is about a year old. Her horns are growing straight out of her head and I would like to turn them a little bit so it would be easier for her to go through a head chute. I have looked into the weights...

I would probably only take her to the local county fairs. She is registered already. There wont be any Hereford Assn officials there that I know of so I dont see it being a problem that I actually show her. I was just wondering if maybe it comes down to say two heifers that look about alike if...

Boy I wish you were closer to me! I would love to get into a deal like that down here. I love to show but I totally understand where everyone is coming from. Most kids now do not want to show or deal with animals anymore. Its hard work and that actually takes effort from them.

I have a heifer that was born on August 15th. I had planned on showing the calf whether it was a bull or heifer but now I am second guessing myself. She will be a nice enough calf but the only thing I am worried about is the heifers white stripe on her neck goes almost all the way down her back...

I luv herefords, do you have any pictures of your Churchill bull? I would love to see him! I have a few cows that go back to churchill but I cant find anyone around here that has that line anymore.

I agree completely aussie_cowgirl. At our fair almost every year the black steers will be grand and reserve. In the breeding cattle the black angus usually get supreme champion. They just see the black and thats what wins. I mean if the black calf is the best by all means it should win. But it...

He will be about a month and a half old by the time the last fair rolls around. If I go at all I will just take him and his mom. There will more than likely be a panel between them and I very rarely leave them so if he starts to try to choke himself I will be there. But if it still seems like he...

The barns are very open. Its basically just a roof and the walls are open. There aren't many cattle there at all. Usually only half a barn full. I think I probably will leave them at home. Its not worth risking losing him over. Plus he wouldn't have any competition there. Do you think it would...

Our local fair isn't really all that big. We don't have many cattle but I try to take three or four every year to kind of give myself some sort of competition if that makes sense. Well this year I will be taking a crossbred heifer and a weanling hereford heifer. I talked to the beef supervisor...

I was not meaning that literally. I know herefords arent double muscled. Thanks everyone for your help. I think I have decided which bull I want to go with.

Herefordsire, we probably have close to the same terrain. Although I think yours might be a little rockier than ours. Everyone please dont take this the wrong way but you're not going to convince me to use a heavy muscled bull when I dont like them. I dont have a problem selling my calves and...

Killala, Thank you for posting that picture. :) Keren, Thank you for your help. I will see if maybe I can find a website or something that pictures some of his cattle. Im sure you are right though. So far I do really like his stock. Knersie, like I said, Its just personal preference. Whether...

I dont like the extremely heavy muscled bulls. Just personal preference.

Knersie, I mean the bulls that are built more like belgian blues than herefords and practically drag the ground because their legs are so short. The bull you posted has a little more muscle than I like but I like the heifer they have pictured as his daughter. I may look into him! The only bad...

I do like the pedigree but for some reason for the most part I like the looks of him and think he might cross well on a couple of my girls. I was looking for a stouter bull with a little more muscle but it seems like you get long and fairly lean or short and really muscled up. The heavy muscled...

If you cant already tell I dont do a lot of AIing at all lol. Do you think since he is new they just havent gotten all the epd paperwork and all that done on him? I dont really want to breed to a bull I dont know the numbers on. That will mess with the calves EPDS too wouldnt it?

I noticed ABS Global has a new bull. He is australian and I dont know much about the blood lines or anything like that over there. But I like the look of him. So I was wondering if anyone has dealt with calves out of him or knows anything about him. Here is his link...
