Along with Aberdeen Angus, Hereford is probably the most significant breed in global beef production – so popular for its meat that it was exported around the world in the nineteenth century and formed the basis of a large number of herds in Argentina, Australia and America.

The Japanese even crossed it with their famed Wagyu/Kobe to improve flavour. But these noble creatures weren’t suited to twentieth century mass meat production so men in white coats mutated them to create animals that could endure the torrid life of mass production. Our Traditional Herefords will be the real thing – the old fashioned breed as it was before it was mucked about with. Intense, dense, delicious.
