Yes they are. Herefords are often raised in an extensive setting, and in such a setting good mothering ability is a must since a lot of the time the owner or rancher isn't around to make sure the calf mothers up to its new mom or the cow accepts her calf.

Good to excellent. Various lines have better mothering ability than others, and mothering ability that is lacking in the cattle you get can be improved by culling.
