[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1607326, member: 24816"] I’m not disagreeing with the milk aspect at least on an individual basis. Especially as it pertains to traditional Herefords or Angus in comparison to what both breeds are in terms of mainstream breeding today, but that’s a whole nuther can of worms.I had a few Hereford cows years ago that didn’t milk real well and even In some Jersey/Hereford cross half sisters most milked great but one hardly enough to raise a calf. My lasted venture though has been quite different we have brought in both registered and commercial Hereford cows and have retained several calves from them by Hereford bulls and they have really surprised and surpassed my expectations of what they can do in terms of weaning off calves. I would say ours will equal or out perform any of our Angus cows calves and especially when comparing straight bred Herefords to Angus. Certainly may not be others experience but we have been extremely satisfied with the results. Post weaning growth has been very comparable for our Hereford vs the Angus. Overall they seem to continue at about the same plain as before weaning, I would say that by maturity our Angus are on average our bigger cows. [/QUOTE]
