I know, that's sort of a running joke around here. Some guys insist there must be some flaw with the structure of the feet if a bull is standing in straw.
Good looking bull in my opinion but I do run a polled one for what it's worth.
I knew where you were going with the statement.
I will quote a former, long dead cowboss who worked for Canada's largest cattle operation, the Douglas Lake Ranch for over 40 years.
Mike Fergusen was asked to speak at a Canadian Hereford Assn. AGM at one time about DL's extensive use of Hereford bulls. His talk was about the horned kind. So much so that a Polled breeder pressured him to respond why DL didn't use Polled bulls.
Mike's answer was classic, got him escorted off the stage and mirrors my own generally. He said, " We have found that if a bull has a pointy head, he has a pointy azz to go with it."
They are better than they were. but the market here still shows lack of acceptance for Polled Herefords or their crosses.
