[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1641460, member: 40587"] Wanna thank everyone for the excellent input on my thread. I never intended for this to be a debate on whether Black Herefords are a breed or not. Or their merits or negatives. I remember the same things being said and written about Brangus, Brafords, Beefmasters, and Santa Gertrudis when they first appeared on the scene here in GA. But, I did get the feedback I was looking for, and most answers kind of confirmed what I already thought to myself. With this herd of 120 registered, top-line Brangus cows, about 90 AI-ed to about 6 different registered, proven Black Hereford sires (The other 30 or so, they AI-ed to 4 registered high Chianina percentage Chi-Angus bulls. They wanna see if they can get a "super" or "mega" Ultra Black as another replacement alternative) I think that it wouldn't hurt a thing, and may help at the time of sale..for the heifers, at least.. for them to offer to the buyer a document with a copy of the sire's and dam's papers, and the birth and weaning weights recorded. It will cost a few pennies worth of ink and paper, and about 3 minutes to click, drag, save and print for each one.
