[QUOTE="tapeworm, post: 97499, member: 1094"] Maybe Im a little confused by your picture Certified Hereford Beef.....is this a heifer that you bought from Green Herefords to add to your herd??? And may I ask why you would buy a spotted heifer like that?? You dont plan on using her as aregistered cow do you?? To much white is a big problem for some of us with marketing and eye trouble put together....eye problems can be helped with pigment..I dont see any on her...and I cant for the life of me figure why anybody would want a spotted hereford. If cattle buyers dock me for spots on calves i sure as heck dont want a breeder perpetuating those. And if the original breeder thought that she needed to be culled who are you to override that decision?? Some registered cattle need to be killed instead of bred.Do some of you think that just because an animal has papers that she deserves to reproduce herself?? Or jsut because she has papers and a pretty "paint job" ?? LOL Not trying to start an argument I just want to know WHY Guess Ill be the lone ranger here but I sure dont like the heifer(am I really the only one??)...not just because of the spots that will cost me discounts but also not nearly enough capacity for a cow that has to rough it for a living..maybe if you keep a trough in front of her she would do all right. I know the Green guy said that she doesnt always look like that...its only because its so dry...but I see a lot of green stuff in that picture...makes some cattle country look pretty darn good.
