[QUOTE="Idaman, post: 751600, member: 14119"] SRBEEF sorry the "credemtials" thing touched you off and I see where you are from and your experience level does pose a handicap. That said, the connection between polled and a low calving rate is due to another part of the equation. Polls are paddock cattle not range cattle and from that fact alone they require much more management attention. So when that ingredient fails the the results are disasterous. If you are using polls and are doing good then don't change. I would bet that not many of your young bulls end up on range ranches but probably on what we call paddock farms. There are a lot more cattle in the country that are owned by the paddock crowd than the large range outfits so your market opportunities are greater there. I will repeat that you couldn't give me a polled Hereford bull if I had to use him nor would any of the people I know that run on large range areas. We are almost all using Angus and horned Herefords [/QUOTE]
