We started out with Herefords - nice docile creatures. Then we got Brahma and Brangus bulls and saved heifers that they sired. The docile nature eventually faded away, but I was young and didn't mind. Now that I'm old I ship anything that looks even slightly crossways at me. Toss your head twice and I'm writing your number down - you're a goner. I sent two to the sale barn last Tuesday. They were whiteface, but had a testy nature about them. Two 1200 pound old cows brought $70 and $70.50 cwt. I remember when we were thrilled with $30 cwt on an old cow.
I should mention, before someone else does, that most of the Brangus cross are very peaceful creatures out in the open. But they are very likely to tear the barn apart when you close a gate behind them.
Herefords were on every farm when I was a kid. Then they started turning into black baldies - then eventually solid black. Now the big boys have cattle that look like a speckled pup. I don't even know how to describe the color of them. I'm not criticizing - these guys know what they are doing, and I respect their advice.
I've been around cattle my entire life, and I know very little about them.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
