You say breed character. What you really mean is you think you need more maternal than performance?
I think we need to be moderate. I am new to this hereford thing to but tried a bigger framed bull. ( left me with what looks like a milk cow) I tried a littler bull and I am very happy with the daughters. I have a newer bull now about a frame 5 and I think I will be happy with him also.
I dont think we need frame 7 cows I think 6 is big enough. But to many people are chasing epds bigger ww,yw then you get hard doing females that eat a lot to and dont breed back on time.
What part do you have a problem with? What doesnt look right to you in your herd. Only you can be the judge. Dont chase fads and we will be ok. I dont want the little belt buckle cows but rather in between them and the frame 7 monsters.
