[QUOTE="TexasCountryWoman, post: 31731, member: 425"] Yes, go with a Polled Hereford. My family has been raising them since the 1930's or somewhere around there. I just bought the most gorgeous bull I've seen in a long time. Paid $1550. He's a reg. 2 yrs. old from a good Bull ranch. The breed is part of our beef industries history, part of the very foundation of the industry. Used to be just Longhoens and mexican cattle here. And this British breed is still here on every white face cow you see. There has to be a reason they haven't faded out like many things of old. They are docile, easy to work with (mine are all pretty much pets and know their names, come when called) and they forage well on unimproved pasture. They are good mothers and don't get nervous or flighty if you pet their new calves. This is my herd. Others may differ. However this is what I know from 40 yrs. of my own experience with Polled Herefords. And they do fine at the auction. Plus, they are beautiful and distictive to look at. Regal and attractive animals.
