[QUOTE="txag, post: 19347, member: 8"] we're polled hereford & to sum it up we look for maternal lines.....good calves start w/good cows. a large number of our cows have victor bloodlines (103T & 2105). these are bloodlines known for their high maternal traits. we then use a.i. bulls w/more growth but also try to make sure they're from high-producing females as well. another thing we try to breed for is eye pigmentation (being in south-central tx this is important to us). as in the earlier poll about what to look for, of conformation is also important as well as calving ease, birthweights. basically, the total package. we use brangus bulls on some of our polled hereford cows & we're not quite as picky about bloodlines.....we look at growth (for the steers) & maternal (for replacement heifers). our latest brangus bull is a confederate son.
