[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 737363, member: 13859"] I really feel that our polls are as good as most other breeders. In the last 10 years have lowered birthweights,length'ed and bred some thickness in the quarters,increased their milk, moderated their mature size, think we have eliminated prolapse[at least I certainly hope so] and just generally turning into cow's that live on and produce the way any comm. rancher run's his cattle here.By the way tthese polled cattle originated from a leading show outfit. Our main herdsire does come from one of the most respected hereford herds in the U.S. yet they are one that has never used a show halter or a show bull in their operation. Nuff said on this subject,we all have to raise cattle that fit's our environment andthose that we feel pays our bills best. Here ,we have always lived on the cowherd and cannot afford to make any mistakes. One other thing and I promise I'm done with this subject, "If hereford breeders do not mind their business and pay attention to things that are true'ly important the breed will become just another hobby breed". In other words if we stub our toes on some silly fad we're done. If we would all get on the ball and do away with a few titan's some red holsteins and a little bit of other genetic problems. we could maybe be the last truely pure breed. I DO AT THIS TIME CHALLENGE ALL REG. HEREFORD BREEDERS TO SELL FOR SLAUGHTER ALL KNOWN OR SUSPECTED HEREFORDS THAT MAY CARRY ANY GENETIC PROBLEMS. [/QUOTE]
