Do you have any of the Boyd genes in your herd? I was in the Mayslick Hinton Mills store yesterday. The guy who handled my purchase was talking about the sale at Charlie Boyd's (senior) estate. I went by that farm (they have several counting the son and daughter), there was not one single animal in their pastures. The Herefords are usually on Charlie Senior's place. The son is mainly into Black Angus now. His wife still resides there after his passing but made me wonder if they sold his herd!
One of the biggest problems I see is that some Hereford people constantly bad mouth 75% of Herefords. I got into Herefords 20 years ago I expected Angus people and others of course promote their breed and even point out weakness in Herefords. What I was not expecting was the constant criticism of one kind of Hereford by a small but vocal minority. I was recently at an event where a prospective customer was cornered by a Hereford breeder. I merely sat back and listened. The customer was given a list of why most all Herefords were so inferior and only this breeder and a few others were breeding true Herefords. My theory is produce the best product you can and let the customer decide.

No Boyd genetics here, closed herd. Line breeding the Victor Domino line.
I've often wondered how a Boyd bull would do over the girls I got from you Danny.

I think the point here is that good cattle are good cattle, no matter what color their hide is. We are predominantly Simmental, but got the chance to buy a herd of Herefords a few years back at basically kill price. The old man sold the farm, and they had to go quick. I went to the local stockyards to ask about some feeders, ended up with 30 Hereford cows.
Some were good, some not so good, but nothing takes care of itself like a good Hereford cow. Those good ones raise a good a calf as any, plus they bring top dollar with that white face. Where else can you buy something for bottom dollar and turn its product into top dollar?

A home raised bull. Early November 2015 picture, just turned in with cows.
He's a tank Carlos. I like him.
