I keep getting sale catalogs from Black Hereford breeders and the BH Association. Don't know why. When and how did Herefords become black? How are they different from Black Baldies? I could just look it up, but I'm too lazy.

But gee, then you couldn;t get fancy registration papers proving how superior they are!Aaron":3fogl73l said:Your better off with a BA and Hereford F1 cross than those inferior mongrels.
They started their own registry as the world Hereford Associations wouldn't recognize the breed.Supa Dexta":4c27j05j said:Is the same said for all breeds? Black sims seem pretty accepted and common place nowadays, much more so than black hereford anyways.
Its tough to find info on who and when the originals were when turning animals black. There's general descriptions stating it was the 'early 90s', but someone has to know the specifics. Black hereford reg was started in 94, so they weren't much different in age.

There are three essential breeds in the USA Angus,Hereford and Brahman rest are filler with Brahman being most essential as Brahman influence cattle contributes 80% of the global beef production.True Grit Farms":xxutd8cy said:Supa Dexta":xxutd8cy said:I realize it was chasing colour.

Maybe that shows that the Hereford breed can stand on their merits. And the Sims needed a color change to compete with the Angus. There's no denying that a SimAngus is far superior to the Simmental.
It's a no doubt that Angus and Hereford are dominant breeds in United States but I view Brahmans as a secondary breed just like the mainstream continental breeds (Simmental, Limousin, Charolais and Gelbvieh) but I have no doubts that Brahman is dominant in the South.Caustic Burno":2me6gqxa said:There are three essential breeds in the USA Angus,Hereford and Brahman rest are filler with Brahman being most essential as Brahman influence cattle contributes 80% of the global beef production.True Grit Farms":2me6gqxa said:Supa Dexta":2me6gqxa said:I realize it was chasing colour.
