[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 735068, member: 3235"] I never meant to accuse you of saying that there were differences in calf vigor and how they cover cows. I was addressing previous posts. Its not that the paste didn't work. It seems that when crossing polled and horned cattle often times when the calves are born, horn either isn't easy to find and doens't show up until later in the fall. I have noticed that too on my cows. Calves I swear are polled at birth need to have horns cut off at weaning. His weaning weights are very good. He weans probably as big of calves as anyone around here. He has been using Hereford bulls on black cows for probably over 10 years now. Hired man of another first time customer stopped in yesterday. He runs red angus cows and has been using Charolais bulls on them. He used 4 Hereford bulls, all polled too, and he told me when they sold the steers that the rwf steers outweighed the Char X steers by 50 lbs. Hired man wants to put a Hereford bull on his cows now too. Brian [/QUOTE]
