The commercial herd we have started out milk cows generations ago. Then they went hereford. In the early 80s we introduced alot of other breeds. We used alot of limousin. I still remember some of the sires,Geondone (spelling?)"dad was stationed if France for awhile and said it means police", Canadian Pacific,MM Stretch.
We also used angus, red angus, shorthorn (maybe that was the neighbors that jumped the fence?), one Main Anjou, some longhorn on heifers and a little Gelbvieh.
The commercial herd now has generation after generation hereford and looks very hereford.
