Hi All,
When looking for Hereford calves, is the markings or coloring of any importance ?
When looking for Angus, you do not want any white anywhere, so it is pretty easy to spot if there is anything throwing back from somewhere, but what do the markets there look for in Hereford, and, if any Aussies have Hereford, what do our markets look for.
I have some calves already, some have all white face and white under belly, and hoof area, others have red also on face, maybe around eyes, or a patch of red, most have white noses, but one has a red coloured nose, sort of like Angus, but is not a baldy.
Am planning on baldies, just want to watch what stock I start with. Want them also to be a decent saleable beast if need arises.
It would seem down here, with the limited people I have spoken with, that Hereford is anything that looks like Hereford
