What makes a Black Hereford
Registered Black Herefords are a minimum 62.5% Hereford x Angus. The registry is managed by the American Black Hereford Association.
Heterosis
Crossing Black Herefords on continental cows produces calves full of heterosis, giving vigor and powerful growth. Research shows cows benefitting from heterosis can experience a 36% bump in longevity, making each cow more profitable.
Color
As margins tighten and the market consolidates you cannot afford the leave premiums on the table. Black Herefords provide the opportunity to achieve the heterosis and feed efficiency you want in your herd while limiting your red discount risk.
Predictability
All registered Black Herefords are backed by IGS EPDs, tested for defects and homo/hetero color and horns.
