Hereford
Thrifty and enterprising Benjamin Tomkins of Herefordshire, England,
is considered to be the father of the familiar red-bodied, white-faced
Hereford breed. He wished to establish beef cattle that were hardy,
had early maturity, and had a nutural aptitude to grow and gain from
grass and grain--traits that are of primary importance in the Hereford
breed today. |
