They are not as thick because as one of the worlds leading geneticists has put it, the modern Hereford is only a DISTANT RELATIVE of the Hereford. They have been crossed with Simentalscand lost a lot of what was a Hereford.

It's very simple. The decline of the Herefords started when the North americans allowed the ingression of Simental into the Hereford genetics and the only thing that was achieved was to put more air space under the belly. Frame scores are nonsense. What is needed is a measure of height minus...

It is coming out now that the modern North american Hereford is only a crossbred Simental. Recent government research in the UK has identified in their report as crossbreds and one of the worlds leading farm animal gene it's has described them as only a DISTANT RELATIVE of the Hereford..

There is absolutely no question that the Hereford has been the most influential breed in Australia. So many other breeds have crossed themselves with Herefords. Brafords are a good example and now it is happening with Angus.

For those of you whose interested in the original pure (not crossbred) Hereford genetics there is a growing international group that includes herds in UK, Australia, U.S and Argentina. Further there is a lot of work going on and we will soon have a test to prove which are / are not pure...

The big difference between horned and polled Herefords is that the polled Hereford is not a Hereford. Similarly the current North American Hereford is not a Hereford. Both are the product of cross breeding the former originally with polled short horn and more recently Simental and the latter...
