So I'm sitting at the potluck yesterday at church chatting with a couple of guys about the warm weather,gardens, cows, etc. I mention that I'm considering buying a polled Hereford to put on a group of Angus/Brangus cows and heifers. A couple of them start in telling me what a train wreck it would be ......" you'll be pulling calves, that polled Hereford will throw calves with heads as big as basketballs, etc". It's been probably 13-14 years since we used any Herefords (with no calving issues that I can remember) other than the neighbor's bull breeding a few here and there. Has something happened in the Hereford world that I'm unaware of???? Is this really a problem is your using low/moderate birth weight bulls?
