The Hereford:
Heritage, Breed & Genetics
Heritage
Hereford cattle trace their roots to Herefordshire, England, where generations of careful breeding shaped a calm, hardy animal. Today, Herefords are valued around the world for their history, adaptability, and dependable performance.
The breed
Herefords are known for their rich red bodies, white faces, white markings, and efficient growth. Their docile nature, strong mothering ability, and ability to thrive in different conditions make them a trusted choice for both purebred and commercial herds.
Genetics
Good genetics bring together sound structure, fertility, growth, temperament, and carcass quality. We look at the whole animal and use thoughtful selection to support cattle that are healthy, functional, and capable of adding value to future generations.
Our approach
At Mason Grei Farm, we believe strong cattle begin with a strong foundation. We focus on responsible care, practical performance, and preserving the qualities that make Herefords such a respected breed.
