[QUOTE="TexasCountryWoman, post: 33265, member: 425"] Bash me if you must, I am not trying to come off sounding any particular way at all, but I have a question. Why do people still raise Horned Herefords when there are Polled Herefords? The same goes for any other Horned/Polled breeds. Why does anybody want horns? The only answer I ever heard was that horned Herefords get bigger. Well, I sure wouldn't want a Hereford bull any bigger than the ones raised around these parts, and I don't believe that tidbit anyway. From what I have gathered, hornless cattle bring higher at the auction because they are easier to transport and do better in the feedlot with the crowding and all. I believe "genetic dehorning" is the way to go. Forgive me for getting a bit off topic. [/QUOTE]
