[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 58977, member: 587"] Herefords are a good cold-hardy breed. The oldtimers tell me that in the day before cattlemen had the facilities that they do now, you could hardly find anything else west of the Mississippi in the states with cold winters. Much was open range, etc. They say the Herefords would have twice the percentage still alive after a blizzard. The Hereford association's literature states that Herefords have a heavier, thicker hide than many breeds, which may contribute to the cold-hardiness. I'd be interested to know what the OLDTIMERS on the boards think of what I've been told about this. Perhaps the Canadians might have a good perspective on it. :) [/QUOTE]
