If Herefords Were Black

byBaxter Black, DVM


If Herefords were black and Angus were red
would breeders of Herefords breed Angus instead?
I mean, would the people who bread Herefords first
be now breeding Angus if things were reversed.

Or would they be loyal to red, white and true
To color of cowlick be always true blue?
If such were the case would they dis all the blacks,
Tell jokes about prolapse, compare them to Yaks

More suited for saddle or wearin' a yoke
Than stubbornly breeding until they go broke.
And those of the Aberdeen Angus cartel,
would they tout maternal endowments, as well,

Promoting their native resistance to thorns,
while cursing as mutants those not sprouting horns.
Just draggin' their sheath through the cheatgrass and burrs
like leaky ol' bass boats nobody insures.

Debate would rage on like it does anyway
if South had worn blue or the North had worn gray,
Or if Henry Ford had been Hank Chevrolet
You'd still be a Ford man... or would you, today?

So if Herefords were black and Angus were red
would breeders of Herefords breed Angus instead?
The question begs deep philosophical thought
but don't get disgruntled or get overwrought

The breeders of purebreds run true to the grain
And efforts to change them would just be in vain
And not 'cause they think other cattle are bad
"I'm stickin' with the one, 'cause that's what Dad had."

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
