The Hereford is a cattle breed that originated from the countryside of Herefordshire in England and is known for its dark, red-colored body and its white face, crest, and underlay. Herefords can be located all around the world and depending on the region, they can have short-thick horns that curve downwards. Hornless Herefords are also called Polled Herefords. Herefords can endure extreme temperatures ranging from extreme heats to brutal freezing temperatures. Having such fast-growing bodies, their high mass means they are used for strictly beef consumption.
Hereford Cattle have a shoulder height between 55.1”-59.8” (140-152 cm), body length from 93”-100” (236-255 cm), standing height of roughly 60.2”-64.6” (153-164 cm), and a body width of 25.2”-27.6” (64-70 cm). Weights of Hereford Cattle vary between males and females with males weighing between 2200-2300 lb (1000-1045 kg) and females from 1200-1500 lb (545-680 kg). Hereford Cattle have a typical productive lifespan of 1-2 years and natural lifespan of 12-20 years.
