BLACK HEREFORDS

[randiliana]

Look at the pictures again. They are grazing range in Canada and ~1000 pound cows are weaning calves with an adjusted weaning wt (throwing in the standard 64lb AHA adj. for a 2 year old) of 656. If you added 500 pounds and 4 frame scores to the cows you would be hard pressed to get another 100 pounds of real weaning wt under those conditions and you would decrease efficiency (currently approaching ~70%) while radically increasing cow maintenance costs or hurting fertility in the process. Randiliana's cows are EXCELLENT.

Well, thank you too!! I was actually just trying to show some of our "black herefords" and what they look like.
