So, as an organization, where do you see the Hereford Breed going. From the other thread the two big plusses I see with Herefords are disposition and they are 1/2 of the equation in making Black Baldies....
If I look at Angus, I know I will tend to get cattle that are easy calving, good mothers and grade well. If I look at Simmental, I get size and good Maternal instincts. If I look at Charlais, I get muscle and a good growthy calf in a terminal cross. Within breeds, there's some people doing different things. But I guess I really don't know what I am doing for my cowherd if I start introducing Herefords........
So here's your chance, as a breeder, what are Herefords going to do for me? I am not being a smart-aleck, it is just in the other thread, I got to thinking, what are the traits that Herefords provide that I want in my herd? I am not anti Hereford, but when it comes to breeding, I choose bulls based on where I want to go with my herd, so where will the Herefords take me?
Hope this is taken as a sincere question as that is how I am asking it,
