Animals look like they are eating good.

WB: I have not seen any MSUD in my red or black herefords. I am getting to submit some testing to both organizations just to validate. As with any other defect that pops up it can cause mass chaos. CB: Interesting on the WW and the Ww genes, I asked someone who works as a professor in genetics...

I love to read these posts from across the US, some are positive and some are negative, provides a good understanding on how people feel. My family and I have been Black Hereford Breeders for 4 years now and have enjoyed all of the good and bad that comes along with changing from a commercial...

Now that picture is hilarious, but so true.

Yes, hopefully they will continue to calm down. Never had this issue before so I guess I look at it as a learning experience. I raise Red and Black Herefords so will continue enjoy more years to come of fun. Walked up today and the just set there looking so innocent. I looked at some pipe...

Fighting is the only time they have gotten out, other than that they have not caused any fence issues, yes they are introduced as calves to the electric fence, and will obey an occasional poly wire fence for moving them when needed. Piping would be nice, would the used oil pipe be a good...

Let me clarify my statement first. I have two lots I run them in, the two acre lot is cattle panel and barbwire, no hot on it and occasionally cows around. Try to keep them moved with at least a paddock in between. The Hot fence is HOT (Herdsman 30 mile), 13k on electric meter, up to 6 joules...

Question for the expert minds: This is my first full venture is raising bulls to sell. All has been straight forward since weaning until full blown puberty. Have sold a few but still have two 17 month old teeanagers that will not quit fighting and breaking fences. I know if I had the money to...

Good looking animals.

Question for the experts on this topic: Is it the location, hide color, breed, or the local associations that control the "perception / price" of cattle at the sale barns / markets? Does it affect the local farmer or the big buyer more?

great looking gals, big question, what is that green stuff they are standing on? Can that be ordered? LOL

The Black Hereford has a higher percentage of Hereford influence over Angus, vs being just a 50/50 cross of two breeds. Kind of interesting on this post as well as others, the simple bickering that goes on vs discussions. This country has seen many breeds *modify* their critters to meet what...

Without throwing gasoline on a fire: I have few questions for the "gurus" who oppose crossbred or new breeds and people who have them. 1. Are all full bred cattle of the top breeds (kind of like cars or tractors) the only way to manage a herd of cattle? 2. Have you never seen a full breed...

I see a Hereford I like everyday when i go to the field with my cattle. Cattle (almost all breeds) have changed over the years as breeders have gone with the market. At one time were Angus and Herefords a lot shorter than today top animals? The breeding and genetics has improved some animals...

I would also check out Knoll Crest Farms. They have some really good bulls with some exceptional numbers for the Hereford breed. http://knollcrestfarm.com/herd-sires.php KCF Bennett Revolution X51 KCF Bennett Influence Z80 KCF Bennett 9126J R294

I have used the Apollo bull, had three bull calves out of him last fall, (70-72 lbs), and got a heifer on the way. Good calving ease bull with good growth on the calves. The X51 bloodline is good. I think you will be happy. Got to see him up close an personal before buying the semen from owner...

Nice looking critter.

The real question is: How many people could you convince that the beef tastes better and start selling? White Chocolate?

Nice looking animals.

Nice calves, interesting to see the different backgrounds.
