Oh come on!
They get pink eye all the time.
They get cancer eye all the time.
Lots of them have dangerous horns.
They do not cross well with anything.
The buyer thinks black is the only colour on the market.
Restaurants will not serve that beef because it is naturally tough.
There are no decent breeders in North America and certainly NONE on this board.
The animals get sick at the drop of a hat.
They cannot stand the heat of the south.
They cannot stand the cold of the north.
When you take the hide off of them even fat ones look skinny.
Aaron I think I am about out of all the things I have heard - but there MUST be more.
After all they are RED and WHITE!
And everyone knows - the only good cow is a black cow.

They get too fat on feed.
They don't yield on kill line.
They are too narrow.
They are too shallow.
They don't compete at the feed bunk.
They don't move well - the fastest moves they make is when they hit the kill floor.
They have terrible feet.
They have big, dead calves or dumb ones that die shortly after birth.
They don't grow.
They are the first to get sick and die after you buy them.
They can't wean a calf bigger than 350 lbs.
They have too much frame.
They have too little frame.
They have no muscle.
They have to be 3 years old before they are ready for slaughter and the carcass discounts will sink your entire operation.
They have big coke-bottle teats with absolutely no milk in them.
They aren't black, so the meat automatically tastes like cr@p.
.
The only thing they do well is die unexpectedly.
Once you get that whiteface in your herd, you'll never get rid of it.
They're the only breed left with idiots that breed for horns.
You need Angus to make baldies and Charolais to makes buckskins - what do you need Herefords for?
I know I am probably missing some too, Bez.
