[QUOTE="Hereford76, post: 987624, member: 7000"] he's not the one claiming or under the delusion his cows or more than crossbreds... and the only difference i can see is that the ranchers i know with crossbred baldie cows actually have something to be proud of. an angus cow or black hided cow dominates the west. why would any rancher not only give up heterosis using 87.5 % hereford but pass on basic quality? a hereford is the culmination of a specific set of traits that make up their character. you add angus to it and they are simply a crossbred no matter how much spin you put on it. the only scenario where a so called "black" hereford makes any sense is on straight charolais cows or straight continental cows - and if that is the message then you guys got everything backwards. but sounds like your having fun tho... also - if you know hereford histoy. part of why polled herefords were not readily accepted in the beginning is because many believed they were also crossbreds. every heard of a polled kansan?
