What happened to Hereford talk? I was banned for posting a study on Herefords that was not well received but I still visited the site. Some interesting discussions. No posts for ten days.

Cattle shows are basically a beauty contest based on an ideal. Incidentally I could not find a recent breed standard. if you have one could you give me the link. In order to make contest champions more in line with the real world how would you change the ideal? I do look at EPDs and I have...

Thank you to those answering my question in a thoughtful respectful manner. While not fully understanding or fully agreeing I have more insight. farmguy

Thanks for the comments. I really thought someone would answer my question about the issues.

I was banned because I posted twice a paper by the Beef Magazine that compared polled and horned Herefords as a result of Canadian University research paper. The results did not agree with the preconceived thoughts of the administrator. Therefore when pressed why my post was deleted and I banned...

On another board where I was banned there is a discussion on that forum about the AHA. I was banned per the administrator because I had the word Hereford as part of my E mail address. Therefore showing a lack of intellect. Hence I cannot enter in that conversation but I do know that individuals...

My wife and I went on vacation through Montana and we stopped at the Fort Keogh research station. First of all the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We were given a tour and copies of papers from the station on their research. They included Latest sale catalog, 4 business cards of staff...

Been through this many times and we all know how elkwc feels. farmguy Excerpt from an article in BEEF MAGAZINE, dated April 1, 2000. HORNED vs POLLED by Joseph Stookey Some producers tell me they prefer certain horned breeds because they are superior to their polled counterparts. In 1996...

Our neighbor had a cow, mostly Simmental, that always raised a nice calf but aggressive when first calved. His son who was in his 20s but mentally limited took care of the cattle. They were both out with the cattle when this cow had just calved. The cow left her calf, walked over and crushed the...

"The further north you get it is impossible to graze anything once you get a good cold stretch in November and some snow on the ground plus having to deal with winter elements." I hate to contradict anyone but I am in central Minnesota and we graze stockpiled warm season grasses and cover crops...

I looked at a Select Sires bull, CL 1 Domino 215Z. His dry matter on the EPD graph intake was in the way left which I believe is very high for dry matter intake. Now what does that mean to me? I winter graze and so my forage is not the highest quality. So does that mean his offspring will...

"Most cows doesn't move much at subzero temperatures anyways." I guess what mine will do is stand in the sun for a couple hours in the morning then go out to winter graze. In our area usually when it's well blow zero the sun is out and little wind.

"If Texas Longhorns are produced with large horns, they do sell well. Texas Longhorns are also very easy to keep and will thrive on less than other breeds of beef cattle. The strongest market for Texas Longhorns seems to be Texas." First of all I will admit I have no experience with Longhorns...

This is what got me banned. I thought maybe after months of bad mothing based on opinions I would add some unbiased real research. So I posted it. I was banned. But the moderator stated on the forum it was not because of the post but because I was so dumb I have Hereford in my name. I expect any...

No black Herefords on that forum are evil. Does anyone know what 40% is all about? I know we had neighbors register Simentals after so many generations, I think 3 generations they were considered purebred. But on this forum many constantly bash their own breed.

This was posted on another site where I am banned because I didn't agree with the moderator on a within the breed thing. I don't understand, can some one help me? If this is not proper forum behavior please delete this. Thanks farmguy 14 hours ago timbernt said: We passed that a number of...
