Anyone know the website for ABS online catalog? I know they have to have one out there.

What I meant, is that if a calf is born to registered Hereford parents, and it is polled, it can be registered as a Polled Hereford, regardless of the parents' horned status. This has been my understanding as long as I've been involved with PH cattle.

He told me "When you breed the horns off of a hereford, the butt falls off too" I just laughed and thought to myself that he obviously has not looked at some of the current generation of polled herefords out there. I will agree that some out there are lacking some muscle in the rear, but it doesn't have to be that way if you use the right sire.

I think what he was talking about is the fact that now there will be a possibility of horned offspring if bred to a horned animal. I know that when I use a Polled Hereford bull I sure expect all of the offspring to be polled, no matter what genes may be floating around on the cows side.

I think that a reputable breeder should at least telling you an animal has horned bloodlines in their background.
