[QUOTE="purecountry, post: 195699, member: 2306"] I can't help jumping in to this one a bit. I rec'd Remitall's catalog in the mail yesterday. I must say, they are impressive LOOKING cattle. You just don't see Herefords - HORNED OR POLLED - with that type of structure everday. Of course, I don't know how big they are, I'm guessing too big for my liking. I wanted to ask you something Aaron - you mentioned 350lb weaning weights at 205 days, a couple pages back. If 205 day weights are 350lbs, I'd say the program needs some help. Maybe not a Remitall bull, but something, or did I misunderstand you, b/c I noticed that nobody else jumped on that. I also realize that 750lb weaning weights are questionable, but somewhere over 500 I would expect out of any kind of cow - even on range conditions. Just curious? I almost bought a Horned Hereford bull 4 years ago to put on some of our Angus X Tarentaise cows. He looked great, but the cow he was out of looked like SPAM material. And that was a trend I noticed - I had no trouble finding good thick, fleshy bulls, I just couldn't find one that had even a decent mother cow behind him. Of course it could just have been the breeders I went to. [/QUOTE]
