[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 19232"] Hello: Well the Herford Breed did help develop the commerical beef industry here in North America both the USA and Canada. It is a very interesting thing to see how Herford genetics did creat the large Ranches of the Western and Southwestern USA and then how well Herfords did in western Canada. Herefords where noted for there heavy winter coats, and the ablity to range on poor range land. Cover lots of land a day. There roll and the part they played is very important! At one time the numbers of the Herford cattle in the USA was a very high number! The best black white face calves that I have ever seen where crosses of hereford bulls on holstein cows. In the 1970's to 1980 some dairys would breed the lower milking holstein cows to herford bulls. They would fatten easey and boy did they grow like weeds! Now here in North America there are more breeds than what there use to be in the 1950's to 1960's. The North American now has many different breeds of beef cattle. Note it is now hard at times for a film company to find a herd of Herford cattle that they can use as background cattle in the movies there now filming! Things have changed a lot here in the Western and Southwestern USA! In the area that I live in at one time during the late 1800's this area was noted as being a strong herford area and now there are no longer herford cattle in the area! Regards; Lee [/QUOTE]
