    Vera;


    They are the same Breed of Hereford Cattle, and just a Genetic Mutation that they are Born Without Horns. :) Here in the Southwest we call them "Mule Herefords" as they have large ears and no Horns.


    The reason that some Ranchers like the Polled Herefords is the they do not Injure each other as much as the Hereford Cattle with Horns!!! :fear2:

  • The Rare Breed (1966)

    I think I can understand why some people that Never Had much to do with Cattle Ranching would not think much of this Film. But to me it is almost like a History Lesson on Cattle of the Old Southwest of the U.S. in the 1800s. :rolleyes:


    In the early 1800s all we had here in the Southwest was Mexican Long Horn Cattle, and later called "Texas Long Horn Cattle" and Very Little Meat for that large of Cattle! :(


    After some Very Brave English Pioneers Brought the Hereford Cattle to the Young U.S.A. it started a New Cattle Industry, and made the Cattle Industry what it is Today! :D Duke Raised what are called "Horned Pure Bred Hereford Cattle," and when I had my ranch I raised what are called "Polled Hereford Cattle," that meant they were born with No Horns. :o


    So thats Your History Lesson For The Day!!! :fear:


    The Film is not a Great One, But with Jimmy Stewart and Maureen O'Hara it is Great Fun to Watch, and the only thing that would make it Better is if Duke had been in it also. :jump:


    Also Maureen brought the Womans Touch to the Film! :wub:
