[QUOTE="CCCowman, post: 1831583, member: 24507"] Don't know where in SW Virginia you're at but there's plenty of interest in Black Herefords around here. 4 years ago there was 3 breeders in East Tennessee and 1 in Southwest Virginia. Today (12-20-23) there's 9 in East Tennessee and 7 in Southwest Virginia. I'd say the interest is there around here. Nationally we are the fastest growing breed in the country. Not an opinion.....Numbers support this. As a breed, we know we will never be as big as Herefords or Angus. We've caught a couple breeds and are gaining fast on a few others. I cull hard. Reality is some are winners and some aren't but all the registered culls I take to the barn sale well. I use a BH bull on my commercial girls and every time I go to the sale barn a couple of buyers ask me if I brought some of those good baldies and what their numbers are. Honestly.... a black Hereford bull will not work real good on a purebred registered herd of Angus but put one on a herd of commercial blacks. You may be embarrassed to say you have run a Black Hereford bull but your billfold will be full!!!!! Personally I have sold out of bull the past 3 years. This year I had 6. Culled 2, 1 that just didn't grow and 1 that was freakin' awesome but was bat crap crazy. Sold both at Abingdon and got $2.36 @ 633 lb for the runt and $2.11 @ 711 for the crazy one (I dont keep or sell crazy). Sold the other 4 before they were a full year old for $2800 - $3500.
