[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 816925, member: 5898"] I hope everyone voting has at least calved some and not just going on what there Uncle's third cousin saw at his sister-in-law's neighbors place back in the 60's. I had some Hereford cows that were as bad as any in the 80's and have baldy cows that are as good as any now. We use Hereford on black cows to correct the problems that the Angus have-I didn't vote because there really isn't a reason I won't use one because I like to feel I research my bull purchases enough to avoid all the problems of yesteryears. In fact I'm looking for someone to A'I some Angus cows to Horned Hereford bulls-there is a bigger demand for the 'right' kind of Baldy heifers than there is heifers to fill it. If anybody is interested pm me-straight Hereford cows bred black would work too-it doesn't matter on what side of the border. There is a premium involved for the F1 heifers. I think the Hereford breed has got to go back to focusing on making cows instead of trying to outmilk simmentals and out grow Charolais. Anytime you carry a pail of corn past a pig, a chicken and an ethanol plant to give it to a cow your going backwards. I don't have a stitch of Hereford heritage in me-in 94 years on this place I'm the first one to run Hereford bulls but I did figure out they are a main ingredient in some practical F1 cattle.
