[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 42657, member: 587"] Since polled Herefords were developed from naturally occurring mutations within horned Herefords, and from the beginning, they have had that blood flowing through their veins, I don't see how they are not the same breed. The association sure thinks so, and even in Miles City, Line 1 headquarters, they have an occasional polled mutation. If you are breeding to a polled breed like Angus, it shouldn't matter. If it does, you can trace the pedigree for horns. The time has come for carcass, efficiency, disposition, and longevity of life to reign supreme, regardless of horn status, in my humble opinion.
