[QUOTE="Kent, post: 181113, member: 2134"] Herefords are one of only two of the "old" breeds of cattle that were bred exclusively for meat, not for milk or draft purposes. The other breed is Angus. Herefords can milk and grade with any other beef breed if selected for it. However, if you use genetics developed in the West for the high desert, where a heavy milking cow may not breed back quickly due to lower nutrition, and expect them to milk on lush grass in the Mississippi basin, you may be disappointed. Herefords may be substituted equally for Angus in a maternal cowherd for all traits except color. If you stick close to Hereford (polled or horned) and Angus genetics, you will not go wrong. Many people have their favorite between the two breeds and cannot bring themselves to admit their equality, but it is true nevertheless. It has been proven for over a century. [/QUOTE]
