[QUOTE="Bonsman, post: 765002, member: 8504"] One of the things not in this article is Dr. Bonsma's preference for Horned Herefords over the Polled Herefords. Granted, this is a 1967 article and the genetics have changed dramatically over the past 43 years. When Dr. Bonsmara started the Bonsmara breed, his initial sire was (by todays standards) a very modern Horned Hereford. To quote Dr. Bonsmara, it was a most outstanding bull; and he was very fortunate to have this bull to start his new breed of cattle--Bonsmara. In Oklahoma, the heat index has been unbearable this week. While many breeds (which will not be mentioned--but they are black) seek shade and water, my Bonsmara lay in the grass enjoying the weather. And more importantly, the Bulls are working during this heat. Those of us raising Bonsmara will always be grateful to the Hereford industry and what they contributed to our breed.
