[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1831540, member: 32879"] Much of the value that made the original F1 Black Whiteface so popular was its hybrid vigor. Once all the back crossing got started in the Black Herefords, this hybrid vigor was watered down. You are left with a mongrelized animal that I would think would be less valuable. It is hard to beat a crossbred cow bred to a purebred bull for consistency and efficiency. Also: Anytime that a single trait like color plays a major role in breeding decisions, overall quality suffers. For these and other reasons, I have never been a fan of the Black Hereford. [/QUOTE]
