[QUOTE="Idaman, post: 752333, member: 14119"] Knersie - No we now run almost all baldies in the commercials. We need that extra 5 to 10 cents they bring. Although straight horned Herford heifers and cows really bring a premium here. I can't resist the dig that the polleds really suffer in this area. At the same time we are really concentrating on the improvement of our purebreds because at some time that pendulum will swing the other way and we want to be ready with lines already in place. We are at this moment assembling an Angus purebred herd to produce our own bulls exactly like what has been so successful for us with the Herefords. The Angus type will be as close to the Hereford type as we can find and we will linebreed those cattle as well. Shortly as a greater number of our commercial cows turn up solid black we will go back to the Hereford bulls for more baldies. I hace noticed that with the movement toward blacks it has already really improved our straight Herefords as if they aren't truly outstanding they get replaced leaving only the very best. [/QUOTE]
