Herford horns will grow any wich way they want. In order to get the downward curve, horn weights are put on. They are little heavy metal clamps that look like balls. They are clamped on around the horns and left there till the horn starts to grow downward. I believe that ranchers do this more for show but also for safty issues as well. It's hard to catch a cow in a chute with horns sticking strait out! I lived on a ranch that raised registered herfords and we did this with the yearlings. The sex of the animal has no effect on the horn curve. hotpe this helps! Elise This is an answer to the horn question..

My (7yr.old)daughter and I missed you at your Birmingham book signing in Detroit area. We were sad.But got your book at Macy's anyways. I love it.Very informative. I especially like the info. on storing fresh foods and for how long. That's something no other books (I've read) have. Oh! (over my shoulder) my daughter loves puppies! She thinks yours are cute. We're getting her first puppy when we get our new house. We have birds. Just love them Lola(like Mark's) a macaw and Baby a conure. Please contact me I have a great idea for you!

I think they are so beautiful! In fact tomorrow we're going to visit an animal sanctuary where they have, guess what, a rescued mini hereford! His name is Buddha and he's so beautiful. Buddha somehow escaped the slaughterhouse (wonderfully and miraculously!) and ended living in his new home The Gentle Barn. They have a variety of animals there and I really cannot wait to be with them tomorrow. :D And... I just watched a recording of your show today with Stephen Colbert (he's so cute-love him). Please tell me you were kidding about him not playing a character...He was totally in the Colbert character and not himself. Stephen does that all the time when he's being interviewed. The real Stephen is nothing like the caustic person from his show. Even the sweater was a joke. I think you hurt his feelings a littel to be honest. Your producer or someone should have filled you in better about his Shtik. Oh I missed seeing your mini's. I think they are so beautiful!

I named my late maternal grandfather "Dandy". He was very good friends with the late Paul "Bear" Bryant, in case you like college football! You always come up with the most interesting articles! Thanks! We urbanites know little of cows and their antics. Martha,
