[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 193370, member: 1682"] The commercial guys are starting to realize what the Horned guys knew all along. The Polled side of the bred is the 'guinea pig' of the breed. So many lines that emphasize totally different traits, and so many breeders willing to play 'scientist' with whatever little creative idea pops into their mind. Whereas the Horned side has always been about live calves, acceptable weaning weights and growth....and then using whatever methods necessary to achieve those goals. The Polled side of the breed has sunk itself with being pre-occupied in selecting for show winners. I have seen many average Horned bulls beat some of the top Polled bulls when it came weaning time...and for a lot of practical commercial producers, that's what counts. I breed both polled and horned, so I know that I can expect a much wider range of consistancy in the horned bulls, than the polled ones. [/QUOTE]
