I've got a buddy that they've kept the Aberdeen Angus bloodlines & about inbred with Traveller & Scottscap bulls & sell a pile of those bulls & heifers every year but I believe the best thing that ever was done to the old line Hereford & Aberdeen Angus was breed to Brahman bloodlines like was popular in the early 70s to put some frame & milk on those cattle. Another buddy of mine has mostly Hereford & baldy cows & they're 7-800 pounds narrow as a 2x4 hairy as a Sasquatch & seem like they always have pinkeye but his old man won't change. I believe cattle have improved over the years while hogs have went backwards. I love the looks of a good Hereford but finding one in this part of the country is hard, saw some good ones being culled the other day off a F-1 Bradford project but they had papers & brought more then I was willing to pay.
Colley, what part of SE Georgia are you from? I bought a Horned Hereford from Mr. James Thompson over in Sylvania once. |
