think about this now and then. for example... the other day one of my neighbors that i worked for as a kid and now help out as a neighbor whenever asked had cooked dinner for me after doing a favor (widow). it was rib steak and was cooked right but awful tuff. i know where she got the beef and they were/are kinda charolais breeders. she is trying to get rid of a freezer full of it as she knows its extremely tuff and no flavor. anyhow i said - "BEEF its whats for dinner" followed by "Charolais... cause the customer doesn't matter". we both laughed.
anyone got any catchy hereford slogans or others. i've got a zillion in my head over the years. couple of my favorites are. "Angus... cause Jim Williams told me too". "Hereford... the crowned breed with the white face". i could go on and on.
anyhow - what are some of yours?

I can see where the Hereford advertising is working well for the seedstock producers but as a commercial Hereford breeder, when I turn the page on a Hereford add, it seems that the slogan should read, Baldy... because Hereford is not enough.

A year or two ago I came up with an ad that I sent off to the hereford association. I still think its what we need to be using. Basically it would have a picture of a hereford bull in the middle, and in a circle around it there would be black baldy, brockle, red baldy, yellow baldy, super baldy, and tiger strips or whatever you wanted. The heading would just read the "The Common Denominator!"
The fact is that a Herefords get docked, but everything Hereford influenced gets a premium. I think it's important for us to show that it isn't the black angus, red angus, or Brahma that makes them a premium calf.

I surely appreciate the value of Hereford in a crossbred cow or feeder. We crossbred for years but have been using only Hereford bulls for quite some time to simplify and improve our range management by having only one herd. We leased more pasture which is some distance away so we are back to two herds. The question is now whether or not there is a place for purebreds in the commercial market. It would be very easy for us to crossbreed again but we would like to market Herefords that would stand on their own as feeders and replacements. Some on here have documented their success feeding their Hereford cattle. I would like to see more promotion of these instances along with the crossbred successes.

I reckon this would not be socially correct because it contains the word "ain't twice; but saw this one on a trailer back in the '60's"
"If you ain't got HEREFORDS you ain't got shit"

Breed the switch off with Simmentals. Put a Charolais bull on a Simbrah cow and you are practically guaranteed a rat tail.
George and I are starting a new operation over here where it rains. We are going to call it:
Blue Box Show Herefords, because if you're not cheating you're not trying.
