[QUOTE="SF, post: 64454, member: 1171"] I am working to phase out all of my horned cattle. Since I'm breeding miniature herefords, it has been very difficult to get them. Only a handful of breeders that have any they are willing to sell. I prefer polled cattle for the following reasons: 1. Safer for me when handling them 2. Safer for the cows, as they are not hooking each other at the feed trough 3. Less stress on the animals if you choose to dehorn your horned cattle. 4. In a feedlot environment, you can get more polled cattle in the same amount of manger space I'm sure there are other reasons too, but a horn in your rib cage hurts even from a gentle cow. Just another opinion. [/QUOTE]
