[QUOTE="Alan, post: 218214, member: 378"] I'm thinking of AIing a Horned bull to a Polled cow next year. Here's my reasoning, please correct any thoughts I have wrong. I see alot of great looking Horned Bulls with great EPD's, PureGold, 9126J, Polled being the dominant gene I will have a minimum chance of a Horned offspring while having access to a larger gene pool. While I understand I'll get some horned offspring and have cows that carry the horned gene, I do not feel that will be a problem to my "Polled Hereford" program. I'm assuming it has been done for many years. Well crossing with horned bull give me calves with more vigor? as in a F1 cross? Thanks, Alan [/QUOTE]
