Hereford definition and meaning

What is a "Hereford"?

Hereford cattle are a breed of beef cattle that originated in Herefordshire, England, and are now one of the most widely recognized and popular cattle breeds worldwide. They are known for their distinctive red and white markings, with a rich red body and a white face, underline, and lower legs. Herefords are medium-to-large-sized cattle with a docile temperament and excellent meat quality, making them favored by farmers and ranchers for their ease of handling, adaptability to different climates, and good beef production. They are often used for both beef and breeding purposes, and have a long history of being raised for meat production due to their efficient feed conversion and high-quality beef.
