If you ever go black, you won't go back.

I went back and wont go the other direction again.

the bull in the video (lot 1) has cat hams. not a good thing.

It seems that some bulls have faults. Bull from lot 3 has too much dewlap but many of bulls don't have much muscle in their necks....almost looks like a dairy holstein. Cow from lot 37 looks funny to me, something's wrong with her rear.They still have a long ways to go to become acceptable cattle to most folks.

Some good looking bulls but some sorry cows...

Where did all of the extra skin come from? How are some horned and some polled? Bunch of sloppy sheathed, hatched butted, gutless, and no muscle what so ever bulls. Especially considering that most of the bulls were over 2 years old in the videos and will be 2 and a half year olds at sale time. The females on the other hand well a few of them would most likely make some decent commercial cows.

The females are not too bad-looking, as long as you use right bull on them but it won't be a black hereford bull.

As for the extra skin, I don't know where it come from but I could mistook them for rodeo bucking brimmer bulls.

Lot 17 for that matter also. I do believe they have lost their focus on merit. I would not be to proud of that for a production sale. :shock:

i believe that they want to capture the bbq market-- producing big briskets. ;-)

What I do not understand why they can't improve the Black Hereford and fixing their faults? It's not that hard.

Because making money is more important to the foundation members of the crossbred society than improvement of the crossbreds is.

Which is probably the basic reason for starting the registry in the first place

That's so true. I guess they are a little lazy to fixing their faults? I just cannot understand how this crossbred won few folks to buying them.....

Its the same kind of thinking/marketing that gets someone to pay $600,000 for a bull.

Some day that hangover called reality will set in.

"I just cannot understand how this crossbred won few folks to buying them"...

Its the fact that black hided cattle get more $$$ a pound. You have so many ppl that want to take short cuts, think the cattle biz is a get rich quick investment, thats does not require hard work etc etc.That creates the avenue for some one else to take advantages.. I like the idea, but the product was rolled out before it was ready

Except this time, Black Hereford people chased a color fad only and nothing else. At last Balancers, LimoFlex and SimAngus have something to bring to the table.
