High Plains said:The "Black Hereford" looks to be just a science project. Someone thought it would be cool to try to breed a "purebred" black one. Well, the good of the black baldy is in the heterosis. So, if you make a Black Hereford, you must have done so by using some weird genetics in the Hereford breed to create that black color, or perhaps dipped into another gene pool to paint the canvas a little. Where's the heterosis? Why is a black baldy a sought after animal? HETEROSIS. So use Angus and Hereford and make an F1 cow or F1 feeder calves. No need to even have a purebred "Black Hereford".
Where do they fit? In somebody's hobby farm. That's my humble opinion, of course. :wink:
