You mentioned that you sent an animal to the butcher recently----was it a long horn?
Have you gotten any yet? Not sure I would want to eat one--at least not as a steak

Nope, it was a Black Baldy, a cross between a Hereford and Black Angus.
It looked like these:
Haven't got the Longhorns yet, too much life getting in the way. Maybe in a few months.
Longhorn beef is good for you!

Those are great meat cows. That's funny around here we call them white face cows.

That's a lot of cow.

That is a cross between a Black Angus and a Polled Hereford.
The Polled Hereford actually originated with mutations of horned Herefords in 1901.
After I got out of the service, I was feeding a lot of steers and I preferred the Polled Herefords to the Black Angus although I had both. The Herefords seemed to have a little faster weight gain and they were not as much of a challenge to keep in a fence. Angus can put a lot of stress on fences

And they don't like to turn into a gate when your standing in front of a herd with a bamboo pole out of a roll of carpet, my uncle said it would be OK.Originally Posted by Dave Grubb
