[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6254"] I was at the all breed sale in Ontario a couple of weeks ago. Herefords topped the sale, angus (good looking animals) did very poorly, shorts did poorly, limos very variable. It honestly appeared that the shine was off the blacks in Ontario (it was never that shiny here) and herefords are returning--this has been the consistant results here. I don't happen to be a hereford breeder, but they'd be my guess. The problem is that there are so many long time breeders of them that getting good prices for good animals for newer breeders is very difficult. Simmies--there's a resistance to the breed in the commercial sector, hard to sell bulls, females are a cinch (especially fullbloods). Limos--couldn't pay me to raise them--and a lot of my clients have them as terminal herdsires, lots of 350 lb weaning weights...Red polls--a friend looked after a herd in Texas and claimed she has never met worse cattle--stupidity and poor doers-- in her opinion. I have obvious bias. There are many breeders in SW Ontario of Herefords and simmies for sure, likely limos as well. Red polls? WKWC! [/QUOTE]
