Hereford Beef

Looking in the meat department, you'd see that we've added something new to our selection. This is something that even our regular customers weren't familiar with. The name is Hereford Beef and the game is providing the best taste in the beef industry.

It all started in Herefordshire, England where white-faced, red bodied cattle were being raised. America started to import the cattle in the 19th century. In 1881, the American Hereford Association (AHA) was started to protect the "genetic purity" of this breed.

An ideal candidate for Hereford Beef

In 1995, studies were conducted at the Colorado State University to see if it really does measure above the rest of the competition. What they found was its superiority in taste and tenderness in many categories. The Certified Hereford Beef program was created and has since been set as the standard for great tasting and quality beef that is sold to customers.

For a cattle to be considered by Hereford, it has to have a number of unique traits. Some of them are the following:

• Must have predominately (51%) white face
• Hereford and Hereford-English crossbred cattle 
• Herefords, Black Baldies, and Red Baldies 
• Beeftype breeding only
