[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 378576, member: 4353"] No its not correct, in the years when the herefords originated as a breed in around 1780, most cattle were indeed dual purpose, but the other purpose other than meat was often as being a draught animal. In the case of herefords they were used as an draught animal and mature oxen often weighed 3000lbs +.
