Ok went to look at a bull the other day.
Bull is son of JJJ Victor....momma was unregistered Hereford.
He is about 20 months old and is a pretty decent looking bull cept for one thing.....he has scurs. They are small....only about 2 inches long and stubby.
None of my cows(straightbred Herefords) have scurs nor have any of them thrown a calf who developed scurs.
What would I be dealing with breeding this bull to my cows?
Personally the scurs don't bother me cause from what I know they don't actually hurt the animals in any way.
My animals are commercial though so I don't wanna get hurt at the salebarn.
I have done a search on scurs on the boards and some good information about how they are passed on.
What I really wanna know is....would you do it and your reasons either for or against.
