Herefords are selected for coat quality, forage convertability, and ability to calve and thrive with minimal management (or no pampering with grain and such). Much of the Herefords in SA are selected to have lighter red coats with not so much curliness as the ones in Europe nor as deep a dark red. They are also selected for pigment around the eyes and the udders to guard against pink eye, cancer eye, and sunburnt udders. Having pigment around the eyes for white-face cattle is crucial if they are to survive in conditions like that found in South Africa. On the veld, where there is lower quality forage and where they have to look for feed themselves, minimal management is very important. Forage convertability is twice important because it's not cost effective to raise cattle that are going to get thin on forage like coarse grass and brush that grows on the veld; cows that gain on that kind of forage and raise good calves is a must-have.
Herefords are naturals at adapting at almost any type of climate. They have thick hide, which enables the ability to, like the Brahman-type cattle, be resistant to heat and insects, and they "slick-off" nicely from the colder months to the hotter ones. They have excellent mothering ability, great forage convertability, and are all around very hardy cattle. Those that prolapse, have eye problems, udder problems, and conformation problems simply get culled out, and those that have the characteristics that are ideal for both the conditions they are raised in and the management conditions they live in, are kept and selected for.
