Traditional Hereford

The Traditional Hereford was carefully nurtured and developed by a group of skilled and eminent breeders in Herefordshire 250 years ago and are so firmly fixed that their transmission from one generation to another can always be relied upon. It was this selection process in Herefordshire and the surrounding Counties, which created the ideal grazing animal.

The Traditional Hereford has no imported bloodlines and follows strict adherence to quality and conformation of the original Hereford standards.

Traditional Breeders rely upon their knowledge of the performance of past generations of stock whilst always being aware that the commercial market and tastes change. The continuous use of stock of known ancestry has enabled them to maintain the essential characteristics of the breed and to meet the challenges of modern beef production.

Traditional Herefords:

Have excellent mothering qualities and produces good quantities of high butterfat milk
Convert grass and grass products to beef efficiently and economically
