Here in Maryland few people raise them, mmainly because the market just isn't here, as for most exotic breeds. They're neat to look at, but if you go to an auction, they don't bring much. I've been raising Angus for over twenty years . About twenty years ago one of my first bulls was a hereford, and there is still some whitefaced influence in my herd from that bull. Some say the baldies are a great hybrid, and I won't argue that point. But if we have a handling problem, I can almost swear it will be one of the white faced calves. But, I have concentrated on black for years and have been very happy with them. A limo can be pretty mean, and the cross can be a pain- I have a neighbor who will attest to that. The hereford is a gentle breed, and fairly large. But at the auction will bring 20 cents less than a similiar Angus animal. Another aspect for my choice was horns. They look neat, but can be dangerous and are hard to work with in a chute. Even the auction barn has to run them down an open aisle because most chutes are designed at 30". Angus are good mothers, and very easy calving. Knock on wood, but I haven't had to pull a calf in about ten years, and we just had two more today. Angus also bring about a 20% better price at the auction, and more seems to have been done at the Association level to promote the breed. Yep- I like Angus.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
