[QUOTE="Herefordcross, post: 345586, member: 3860"] I am not stuck on one breed either, we have a rainbow. Just can't find any blue, yellow, green or purple cows. The proof is in the feedlots. Just ask some feed lots, I know from experience that I can take a "comparable" group of Angus and a group of Hereford cows and It takes about 16% less hay to maintain the herf than it does the angus. That was from our own test last year and the year before. Like I said we have crossed up everything on our place so I am in no way bias. I have just seen and experienced the difference. If you do some web searches you will find that there are more hereford cattle in the world than any other breed, according to something I read, wish I could find it. It went on to say that when the U.S. farmers started to stray away from the herefords years ago that the uniformity left the biggest part of the cow herds in the us. I'll look some stuff up for you. I get some email stuff out of a wyoming feed lot and one in Kansas. The guy that owns the stock yard around here also owns Stampede Feeders I think it is? Might be wrong on the name. He will buy herefords all day long for the same price as blacks are bringing if he knows where they come from. Wait and see, maybe time will prove me wrong! I'll try to look up some of that stuff. Wasn't trying to start a breed bashing contest. I'll pm you when I find some stuff so that it doesn't turn into a war of boards. :lol: [/QUOTE]
