[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 559246, member: 4353"] I don't particularly like any of the three herefords although I think that if you want to retain heifers a herefordbull is the way to go. If i had to use one of the three bulls, the first one would win hands down, but even he isn't without his problems. The Maine bull lacks capacity and although he will likely sire very good terminal calves i don't see him as a herd improver. For what its worth the best way to stay profitable is to have moderate very easy keeping, low input cows and using a bull that will increase value in the calf crop. If you increase the size of the cows you better be sure the calves increase proportionally not to go backwards. Don't get Doc Harris started on this! [/QUOTE]
