Breed characteristics
The breed in general
Hereford cattle originate from Herefordshire in England. Breeding of these cattle has been carried out since the 17th century there.
Color:
Hereford cattle have a red-brown coat with white head being passed on dominantly. The neck, chest, belly, legs and tail switch are white, too.
Polled status:
There are both horned and genetically polled animals.
Body:
The animals are medium-sized to framy. The breed shows harmonic, well-proportioned body stature with deep carcase. Especially the fore hand shows strong muscularity.
Production traits:
Due to their robustness and outstanding feed intake capacity on pastures, Hereford cattle are suitable for year-round free-range housing. Hereford cows have very good calving ease thanks to their wide rumps and also low calf birth weights. A special characteristic is excellent meat quality. They have an early-maturing carcase. The meat has special marbling and fine flavor. Remarkable fine fibrousness makes it really tender.
