Nice looking cows. About a third of my herd are still polled or horned Herefords. They do have a good disposition for the most part. That being said they do have problems. They have a high risk of developing cancer eye. They also have a nasty habit of vaginal prolapse. I have found that polled Herefords are higher strung than horned Herefords. With horned tho you have the nasty job of dehorning. The main drawback is buyers do not want red hair. Around here red hair means a 15 to 20 cent dock for the calves.

They are definitely higher strung than Herefords tho. Doesn't take much to get them wound up and running for the hills.
