[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 210715, member: 2383"] It's happening here, too. We just got home from the VA Beef Expo, the wife and I were talking on the way home and we both agree herefords will be the breed to gain the most popularity in coming years. Being a lowly commercial guy, I can usually sneak a couple nice young pairs without high-name pedigrees out of the sale for $1000-$1400 to bring home and cross to raise me some replacements. I came home this year with a full billfold and empty trailer. Part of the herfs recent succes IMO is the popularity of the Angus cross. You get the best of both worlds, crackerjack steers or excellent mama cows. In my area I see a lot of people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s with a handful of cattle and a few acres who really buy into the herf breed. Those folks remember how Dad did it back when and appreciate the docility. Let's face it, not many people in that age group want to deal with a cocky little angus or a hot continental, neither do I. Not trying to step on anyone's toes here, but you have to hand it to the herfs on disposition, hands down. I have a lot of angus influence in my cattle as well as some simmy, but my favorites are the old herfs, can't beat 'em. Just my opinion, take it for what it's worth. cfpinz [/QUOTE]
