[QUOTE="greenwillowhereford II, post: 588781, member: 7439"] I think most of us know about the advantages of a good crossbred cow, and the right blend of cross-bred steer. However, there is still a need for the purebred animal to maintain the F1 possibility, and to prevent the mongrelization of the nation's cowherd. I chose Herefords for a variety of reasons: Grandpa had them and I watched them perform side by side with other breeds and cross-breeds. I tasted the difference in the beef before I had developed a breed bias, and the difference DID help me develop a breed bias. Like Aaron, I don't think there is anything prettier than a Hereford. When it comes to the total package of feed and forage efficiency as a breed typical trait, good disposition, availability of genetics to fit most parts of the world, beef quality, availability of genetics to grow with the best, cold hardiness, reasonable heat tolerance, ability to get out and rustle, and they complement anything you cross them with, they are hard to beat IMO. I do still run bulls natural service. [/QUOTE]
