Hereford History

The Hereford breed originated as a product of necessity. Efficient, adaptable and hardy, these cattle have always had a face to remember.
Nearly 300 years ago, farmers of Herefordshire, England, founded the breed in response to demand created by Britain’s Industrial Revolution. Efficient   production, high yields and sound reproduction were of utmost importance.

Benefits of Hereford Cattle

Herefords were Jacksons original bread of choice because of their superior ability to convert wild grass into muscle and because of their ability to handle the harsh winters and high altitude. Those characteristics still make them our bread of choice today.
