[QUOTE="1848, post: 113106, member: 1303"] You are correct they are management problems. Everyone of them can be corrected by good and proper managment....even the price! Unfortunately, Herefords gained this reputation years ago when they were the dominant breed in the US, and working under some of the worst management and environmental conditions around...but the key word here is worked. They still are used in some of the worst range conditions to be found due to their survivability and ability to forage. Take a look at the Sandhills of Kansas, the deserts of New Mexico and Arizona, the winters of Canada, the humid heat of Florida and the south. You'll find the Hereford still there..still thriving! If you understand the deficiencies in any breed you can manage them for the better. That's why we cross breed. Had you bought the better Herefords, (not the cheap ones in the sale barn), with good eye pigment, good eye set, strong, healthy, and under a good management program which pays attention to these common flaws [u][b]associated with all cattle [/b][/u] (maybe with the exception of pigment) then you would still be raising Herefords! ;-) [/QUOTE]
