Some Hereford Pictures

The markings would be more Hereford though ?

I have some and have the red eye patches.....have you had skin issues...or eye issues ?

Yes to images....

A couple I have would be similar height and bone..and length, but one is so much thicker width wise....so a side on would show them as similar

They are all polled but somewhere in their pedigree they all have some horned animals somewhere back, some closer than others. Ironically you'd find a horned animal much quicker in the pedigree of that dark bull before you would with that heifer. The 3 bulls are DNA tested already, 1st bull is homozygous polled, 2nd is heterozygous polled, and 3rd one is scored.

We had a nice streak of little to no pinkeye problems until this summer. We vaccinate for it before turning out for the summer. Talked to our vet about it when we preg checked and we are switching up our pinkeye vaccine protocol in 2020 to something he recommends after he did some trials with it this past year with good results. Must have been a bad year for it this year around here as we know of others that had it worse than usual too.

Nice cattle.
I like the 2nd heifer best (by pictures) - she "appears" to have a stronger topline and much deeper middled.

I agree. I like how she is filled out in her rib/shoulder junction better also.
