[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 559613, member: 1682"] We were dairying (shipping cream - about 20 Holstein cows) back in '91 when I was 6. We also had a mix of different breeds in the beef herd (about 30 cows) from Hereford, Charolais, Simmental, Holstein and Shorthorns. I was sick of helping with farming without having an animal of my own to work for. So Sept 21/91, Dad bought a registered Hereford heifer calf for me for $700 at the local consignment Hereford sale. Since then, the dairy cows are gone, all the other beef breeds got watered down or culled and been going straightbred and purebred Hereford for the last 13 years. They are not a flashy breed and it's hard work to promote them, but for our management philosophy, they are the only breed that can do well by roughing it and still turn a profit for us. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
