"Polled Hereford" is the breed. They are those red beef cattle with white heads/feet/tail tips and no horns.
THE POLLED HEREFORD STORY
(soon to be a major motion picture)
The original Hereford breed had horns. The guy who created the Polled Hereford breed wanted Herefords with no horns; he sent letters to every registered Hereford owner "polling" them as to whether they had any Herefords without horns. From this effort he found 173 (IIRC) hornless Herefords, and these were the foundation of the Polled Hereford breed.
Note: That's not exactly what online sources state, but it's the way it was told to me.

Got rid of, yes. Beloved, hardly.
My Polled Hereford bull partner down the road and I have had this one for about 4 years now. He has always made Fish Wife nervous; he's not mean, just real stubborn (think 2500 lbs of stubborn). Next year 4 of the 6 females of breeding age in our small herd will be his daughters. And my partner, who is 75, is recovering from a near-fatal case of septicemia and decided it was time to get out of the cattle business.
Adios, Peyton. I'll be looking for a new bull/bull calf next year.

I've never met Theo but he seems to be equally full of useful knowledge and bull, I can't see him needing a poll or otherwise to tell him that. Could say that too much bull never hurt a hijacked thread like this one though....

For Theos, there is a rapidly approaching point of diminishing returns that arrives from adding any more bull at all, almost like an overflowing cup.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Maggots are a good tadpole bait, they will eat them of the bottom en masse, I saw it under my maggot machine, the ones that hit the bottom of the pond are tadpole food...
