[QUOTE="Prairiegrass, post: 816987, member: 15700"] I use Herefords for Mama makers, but I did vote for a couple of things I think need improving. Marbling and vaginal prolapses aren't on the list. Marbling I can find if I look hard enough, never read they were working on improving the VP's. You buy a bull out of the wrong bull, and 90 % of your heifers may prolapse. That was in the late 90's, so maybe things have improved. I also have problems with milk and teats. However, there are good ones out there if you're willing to spend some time on it. Almost guaranteed gentle, and a good component of any range cow. If pushed, udders/teats and milk I worry about most. Don't know if this a breeder issue, but on a website ~2 years ago a major Hereford breeder in my area was bragging that he used no AI. Don't understand how any pure bred breeder would find that a selling point. [/QUOTE]
