[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 430726, member: 3972"] That was the thinking of my answer, DR Achiever 8403. While not the perfect bull, phenotypically, and definitely not a high growth numbers bull, he has a record of crossing with many different bloodlines of Hereford cattle and producing good milking, maternal females that also stay in reasonably good shape. If a person had 20 daughters of Achiever's, that would be an excellent start for a foundation herd, with plenty of options for which bull to use for the next generation. Whe looking at many of the more prominent Hereford herds in the USA, the problem that I have is that I cannot always see what direction they are trying to go. It seems that they are making breeding decisions on an individual basis, rather than trying to gather up a consistently uniform set of females and continue trying to breed for uniformity.
