[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 657708, member: 4353"] Can't say prolapse is a problem here or ever was a big problem, bad feet typically isn't a hereford problem here either, birthweight seems to definately creep upwards especially in herds chasing the latest fashion in bulls, but generally herefords are still considered a caling ease breed here. Can't say we've had the same bag issues you seemed to have, but I'd say that our herefords of the past probably could have milked better. Pigment alone won't do much for the eye issues, that seems the problem most breeders have neglected to address especially in the USA. I don't think there is any other factor that has cost the breed as much in bull marketshare as the failure to address the ongoing eye issues. [/QUOTE]
