[QUOTE="dun, post: 40743, member: 34"] To through a little t-rd in the punch bowel. When people started selecting for polled it was done retty much as a single trait selection. A lot of animals of both sexes that should have been eaten weren't. It has taken time, but now there isn't any significant difference between the two, except, I've foound the polled calves are born a little easier then horned. That appears to me to be strictly because of the head shape. Polled heads are generally narrower, horned are wider at the ears. Weuse strictly Polled Herefords when we use Herefords in our crossbreeding. Since we no longer had any purebred Herefords left, we bought a lovely bred Polled Hereford heifer a month or so ago. She's the one in the old avatar. dun [/QUOTE]
