Dovecote ParK feature Breed Chairman Richard Mann - A loyal supporter of their Branded Hereford Beef Scheme

摘要

Among the oldest of native British cattle breeds, with herds dating back to the early 1700's, Hereford cattle hold a historic prestige within UK agricultural history. Instantly recognisable due to their thick conformation, red coats and white faces, the breed has proved immensely popular amongst farmers -with over 5 million pedigree animals in over 50 countries - due to their relaxed temperament, natural calving and excellent forage conversion. Their natural intramuscular marbling, fortified by centuries of careful breeding has proved the Hereford an ideal breed for beef production.
