Hereford pigs are a striking American breed developed in the early 1900s, named for their resemblance to Hereford cattle with their red bodies and white faces. Bred for both appearance and performance, Herefords are highly valued for their efficient growth, strong mothering traits, and docile nature. They are especially popular in youth show programs thanks to their eye-catching look and calm demeanor.

Built with a solid frame and excellent muscle development, Herefords perform well in both confinement and pasture-based systems. Their ability to adapt to different management styles, combined with their appealing meat quality, makes them a versatile and dependable choice for a variety of producers.
