FW Bulls

[SASH]

We had herefords the whole time I was growing up. That was back in the late 70's and it seems to me that the cattle were smaller framed and wider back then. I used a hereford bull a few years ago and I had alot of trouble with pinkeye off his calves. Those black baldies did pretty good at the salebarn, though. I guess the problem I have with them now is that they look like a Simmental only without the milk and growth of the Simmental. The last bull I had was a Simm-Angus and I just bought another Simm-Angus this year for breeding my cows next spring. I imagine I may use another hereford in my rotation but he would have to be shorter and stouter with some pigment around the eyes.

whiteface, if you are making money and doing well with herefords, good for you. I say this about anyone who has found a breed or cross breed as their operation demands, that works well for them.
I sense that you are feeling slighted because folks are telling it like it is with the breeds they find work best. I have both red and black limo and they work well for me, but I am sure there are those that will find a lot wrong with them and right with their own choices.
You know what, whenever I walk out in my herd I am pleased with what I see, and if you feel the same, keep on doing what you like to do and more power to you.
