Herefords are a breed of cattle for beef (as opposed to dairy). They are reddish-brown with white faces, dewlaps, underbellies, below the knees or around the dewclaws, and on the nape of their neck: some more defined than others. They are often of medium build, as the average Hereford cow weighs around 1200 lbs, with the bulls weighing in at an average of 2400 lbs. They tolerate harsh (cold) weather well, as well as hot & humid or hot & dry climates. They have a fairly mild temperment making them easier to work with than some breeds, but are animals that do well in a rangeland/ranching environment with minimal management.
