How Hereford cattle spread around the world
The export of Hereford cattle began as early as 1817, when several quality animals were sent to Kentucky. The breed caught on quickly and soon became a familiar sight across the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America. Herds have since been established in Australasia, Russia, Japan, Israel, Argentina, Chile and New Zealand.
Part of the reason is the breed’s hardiness. Herefords forage vigorously even on the roughest terrain, which has helped them thrive in harsh climates far from the Herefordshire pastures where they began.
Pedigree matters a great deal with a breed this valuable. Accurate records of every birth and death are kept so that each animal can be traced back and quickly confirmed as purebred, which protects the value of good breeding stock.
