| Thanks for the great pictures. Looks like the "new babies" are doing fine. I miss the Hereford crosses we had back in the 1970's and calving time. I always liked to watch the frisky newborns. |

| Looks like the calf is black so I guess that is the right color- they used to have a commercial running on the radio that they were worth more if they were black |

| Grew up in a Holstein dairy operation. Occasionally, first calf heifers would be bred to Angus to get a smaller calf. Those little boogers would literally hit the ground running and you had to chase them down. We were always able to find them. |

| I know for a fact growing up that in the late 80's even, it got plain hard to sell Herefords, even good Herefords, probably because of dehorning and pinkeye and who knows what else. Today blacks are definitely worth more but we are seeing more Hereford bulls used in cross breeding programs atleast around here now also to get a black white faced calf |

Renters are using Hereford Bulls as Long term Breeding of Angus is leading to Inbreeding they not ever expected. Bull Calves second or third generation are coming into Breeding Stocks genetically too close to the cows in herd. Were not paying attention as sent Bull Calves out of State with Heifers, sold in Auctions end up on distant farms that sell Bulls or Heifers a few years later back into breeding stock farms their predecessors came from. Having to Cross Breed now to stop the problems. Some are Mottled White Face where if does not contact eye orbits less chance of Pinkeye, some are crossing Simental, or even Brahma. Long horns are making a turn back into bloodlines too.

The Angus problem goes more to using AI semen from just a handful of bulls that had great EPD numbers (expected progeny development index number) .I must give credit to the Angus breeders association for the whole Angus is better eating add campaign. This was Hereford country when I was young. Today not many Herefords left. It has been nice have not having had cancer eye or uterine prolapse in years now. Which in hind site are a part of having Hereford cows. But I will take a grain fattened bovine under 3 years old of any color, even a dairy breed and it will eat as good as an equal feed Angus. It just takes feed to make any of them good. In the future pounds of feed to make a pound of beef is going to be the factor everyone will be paying more for.

I have hauled and handled hundreds of thousands of cattle of every breed and description; owned several too. I have had my share of dealings with cancer-eyed cows; and, once you ever get a whiff of that unmistakable cancer-eye smell, you will never forget it = nothing compares. Of all the countless cattle I have handled, I have only ever seen cancer-eye in Herefords, Polled Herefords to be exact; I am not saying an old-time Hereford is immune from cancer-eye; I just don't ever remember ever seeing a Horned Hereford with it = always Polled Herefords. Most I have seen have had most of one side of their head rotted away, oozing and dripping. Haul one in a trailer and you will smell it for months after the cow is long gone. Idiots would send them to the stockyards with half their head rotted away and way in the middle of the night, after everything has sold, they would bring two or three cancer-eyed old sisters hobbling through the sale ring; nobody except maybe the dog food buyer would even make a bid and usually the dead wagon would come get them the next day. So far as I know, there is no cure, no matter the old wive's tales to the contrary; when one shows signs of having it = that big stem growing through the middle of a pink-eyed pupil = take her to the back side of the farm, put a bullet in her head, and bury her with the backhoe.
