Anyone who catches me eating a $25 hamburger has my permission to shoot me in the head.

You might try contacting an auction company. They will do appraisals and will advertise the items in the right places. Of course, they get a cut, but it might be worth it if it draws more people to a sale. The more potential buyers, the better the prices.

Yes, an awful lot of Black Herefords seem to be lacking in quality. Right now the emphasis is on the black hide. Hopefully, for their sake, there are enough good breeders out there that the quality will improve over time. My point was that the Black Herefords are doing the same thing that those...

Off the top of my head, I can think of quite a few breeds that used to be red that now offer black: Limousin, Gelbvieh, Simmental, Salers, Beefmaster, Braunvieh, Maine Anjou, South Devon and probably others. Why are they any different than Black Herefords? What were they selected for if not for...

Black Hereford

CB- do you have any idea where they came from? I'm guessing a trader up north bought a slew of them and then had them trucked down south to get a better price.

Could be part Dutch Belted. That would explain some of the dairy characteristics. Or as Regolith said Belted Galloway crossed with dairy.

I believe the case you're referring to arose when some states attempted to limit the terms of their US Congessmen and Senators. The Supreme Court struck those laws down, stating that laws enacted by states cannot supercede the US Constitution. Term limits for the US Congress could still happen...

As Kathie mentioned, people often sell decent heifers because they simply don't have room for them. Besides, not all herds are created equal. One person's culls might be a huge upgrade for another. I'll use Bryan Gill (BRG) as an example. According to their website, they sold 200 bred and open...

This can't be true in most operations. I'd think it would benefit anyone to use the best genetics they can afford. if they have a good, reputable source for replacements, then fine. If not, then retaining your own might be the best option.

Speaking strictly from a comsumer standpoint, I like the variety of cuts and prices you get from beef. If I'm gonna have burgers on the grill I'm not gonna go out and buy ribeyes at 10 bucks a pound and have them ground up. Nope, I'm gonna buy ground beef at 3 bucks a pound and those burgers...

There is a poster here called "inbredredneck" that runs a feedlot and knows more about it than I ever will. You might PM him.

I've heard that the going rate is 250 sq ft per head so 25,000 sq ft would support 100. I'd guess that would depend on a lot of variables, though.

I can see it now. I go out and buy a new 60" flat screen 'cause the Bears are in the Super Bowl. Bears up 27-23. Six seconds left. Patriots at the Bears 8 with time for one last play. Brady goes back to pass. Welker open over the middle but Peppers is bearing down on him. Brady cocks his arm...

That would be frustrating.

I think we have a winner. :tiphat:

I argued this same thing a few years ago with a certain Angus breeder that no longer posts here. Yes, the whole CAB thing is perfectly legal, even if there's little or no Angus blood in it, but I could see it turning into a PR nightmare. All it takes is an enterprising young reporter and a slow...

The reason I've seen most for using Black Herefords is simply for the black hide. Use a homozygous Black Hereford bull on Angus cows and you will get all black baldies. Use a red Hereford bull and you will usually get some red baldies, too. For that matter if you use the Black Hereford on Red...
