[QUOTE="dun, post: 402319, member: 34"] Interesting! We've used Polled because of the easier birthing then horned based strcttly on head shape. I think years ago the horned genetics wqere superior to the polled. At one time a lot of single trait selection, polled, was going on and some animals that should have been eaten were used to breed. Now I think you'll find just as good or bad genetics for whatever you're looking for in either type. Personal opinion but I think a lot of the Hereford pinkeye issue from the past was based more on managment then breed We haven;t had pinkeye in any Herefords or Hereford crosses (knock on pressed fiberboard). But we haven;t had pinkeye in anything else either, including Holsteins. [/QUOTE]
