Hereford
A hardy versatile breed which is suitable for outwintering with some supplementary feed. A non fussy grazer willing to graze whatever is available, although will tend to select a varied herb-rich sward in preference to an improved ley.
The breed thrives on poor forage, being an excellent converter of roughage to meat. A medium size breed, weighing 500-600 kg which is one of the easiest breeds of cattle to fatten, marketable through Waitrose.
