Hereford Cattle


Grandpa Delbert Argyle raised Hereford cattle on his ranch.  They had to watch the cows that were calving.  The main reason was that the cows would get down in the willows and drop the calves in the water.

From Edwinna Perkins Forschler:  I remember that they would often give birth out on the ice of the frozen river. I could never understand why a calf wouldn't arrive in the spring when the weather was more conducive.
