[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 193798, member: 2095"] I agree that polled Hereford breeders use more horned Hereford bulls than vice versa; but it is probably because Polled is a dominant gene over the horn gene. A horned Herford breeder that used a polled bull to any heavy degree would VERY quickly become a Polled Hereford breeder. I am sure that many Horned Herf breeders would agree with you; but it would NEVER be practical for a Horned Hereford breeder to use a Polled bull (particularly a Homozygous polled bull), unless he was switching to polled cattle. A Polled Hereford breeder on the other hand can use any horned sire he fancied and have few (if any) horns. [/QUOTE]
