[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 210689, member: 587"] It is true that herfs are very versatile. There aren't many breeds that they can't cross well with. I think the return to moderate frame, easy-keeping cattle is as responsible as anything for improved Hereford demand, as that is where their core has been. CHB and Ridgefield branded beef programs aren't hurting the cause. I've read a report that CHB is having trouble supplying the demand. Meanwhile, many Herf breeders have been diligently working to eliminate weaknesses and flaws. A commercial cattleman who has several herds of cattle was the gentleman who called me a while back, and I've been trying to help him find what he's looking for. He is looking to replace the Hereford bull he recently sold. He had been running this Herf bull on about 55 head with another mature bull of another breed. He said 40-45 of the calves would be sired by the Herf. It is my opinion based on various reports like this that a Herf bull as a rule spends less time trash talking across the fence and more time with the cows than some of his competitors. I shouldn't have said that of course, because now I have probably brought various wraths down upon my head. :help: [/QUOTE]
