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.
