Herefords are primarily bred for their beef. However, the Hereford breed is popular because of its flexibility to create crossbred calves that produce good if not better beef than either of the parents. The most famous cross is the Angus-Hereford cross, commonly called Black Baldies. Herefords can cross with other breeds including Gelbvieh, Simmental, Brahman, Charolais, Limousin, Red Angus, and others.
Hereford bulls are primarily used on the more popular Angus breeds to get black baldies. However hereford cows are also great because of their docility and great forage convertability, making them great commercial cows on the range and pasture environment.

Which breed naturally does better on pasture conditions than other breeds of cattle?
To date all breeds of cattle have been artificially selected for various traits, whether it's for milking, growth and size, feed efficiency (ability to convert feed to muscle using less feed than "normal"), maternal traits or docility, so it's almost literally politically incorrect to say that a certain breed "naturally" does better on pasture than others because there is no such thing. Many breeds can do well on pasture if they have the genetics and conformation to do so. Typically the British-breeds (Hereford, Angus, Shorthorn, Devon and the composite mixes like Black Hereford, Speckle Park and Murray Grey) are better adapted at gaining and doing well on grass than continentals (Charolais, Simmental, Maine Anjou, Gelbvieh, and Limousin). A breed developed by Gerald Fry called the American Herbataraus is one that uses such traits and breeding to develop a breed that is meant for being raised on grass, provided the genetics and conformation is there and these can be developed further using Rotokawa Devon bulls to further enhance these traits.

Why is the image of the cowboy herding cattle on the open range not an accurate description of commercial cattle ranching in the US today?
The image of the cowboy herding cattle on the open range is not an accurate description of commercial cattle ranching in the United States today because land use changes and other economic activities have eliminated the open range. From the 1860s to the 1880s, cattle were driven to railroads to be taken to slaughterhouses. However, other economic activities, farming especially, began to employ grazing lands for other uses. With the invention of barbed wire, private lands could be fenced in cheaply and easily, thus limiting where the cowboys could graze the cattle. Previously, fences had to be made of wood, which was very expensive because it was scarce on the treeless prairies. Nowadays, cattle are raised on private ranches or leased public or private grazing lands, and frequently fattened in commercial feedlots before slaughter. Meatpacking houses are generally located within the cattle raising areas so the cattle do not have to be taken far.
