[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1481688, member: 14161"] 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. [/QUOTE]
