I just saw these two advertised on FB
Says they are October 22, homozygous black and polled.
From what I understand these are from a Hereford breeder that has been working on the black cattle for while, and I believe they have a good herd of cattle.
As individuals these bulls look pretty good to me, and certainly better than most of the " black " Herefords that I see advertised around here fairly locally. Most that I see are not homozygous black, and thus I see no point in a heterozygous black bull in that capacity.
These look good, but. In my mind pinkeye would still be a concern on at least the first bull, and just a personal preference thing I can't get used to the Hereford look on a black hided animal.
I actually much prefer the look of an Angus/Hereford F1 cross to the look of "black" Herefords.
