[QUOTE="ENNOT, post: 218626, member: 3562"] My family has raised Herefords for over 50 years, and you will not get any vigor out of the calves. My stance on the Herefords is that: the horned breeders have stayed true to the breed, and the polled breeders bred for the showring. Horned cattle still posses(sp?) the good genetics the breed was founded from. Fertility, muscle, pigment(simmental?), easy-fleshing, etc I think crossing horned and polled is a good thing to do. But, you will get horns or scurs 95% of the time. Good luck and I think it would be a good thing to do. P.S. My favorite breed is a commercial 1/2 Hereford x 1/2 Angus, but primarily registered Angus which I breed!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
