[QUOTE="lawnviewfarm, post: 568635, member: 7051"] Thanks all for your comments thus far. Doc Harris, you hit the nail on the head as to what we've been using this bull for. In 2 calf crops he has produced 73% bull calves (all steered) vs. 27% heifers (none retained) from Hereford and Hereford-cross commercial cows. Third crop is in the oven, so to speak. This guy's registration papers say 'polled', and the ear tattoos match the papers. I don't think the American Hereford Association tracks scurs (not 100% sure on this). Below is a picture from when we first got him a couple of years ago. The 'scurs' were loose - you could wiggle them around. So, another question for you all: if you were going to sell this guy, would you advertise him as horned or polled/scurred, or just haul him to the sale barn? Thanks, again. --Marc [img]http://www.ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/medium/Fernando-2_front_2006.JPG[/img] [/QUOTE]
