[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 736892, member: 13859"] I am new to this forum and this disscusion,but have lived all my life with Hereford cattle. I strongley beleive that the real true horned hereford is superior to polled cattle. many polled hereford breeders were smaller breeders and many were and still are moneyed hobby farmers,that were only in the biz to show. The show ring is just that, a great place to look and visit,but a very poor way to improve and build a breed. This said the polled cattlehave come a long waysince the 2 associations have merged.Not that many years ago the polled cattle were known as "no butt,no balls, no milk and horrible sheath's. Another 25 years and a bunch of dedicated breeders will have these problem's licked. I really hate to see the AHA controlled by polled breeders but do realize that there are probabley more polled breeders with more resources and more time to give. Always remember that they broke their own APHA some time ago,but do beleive there is a lot of polled people that are practical and dedicated now. To sum it all up the horned cattle werebred and raised by many ranchers to make their liveing and they could'nt have done that without raiseing cattle that not only were practical but also profitable.
