| Rhydybont Beef Herd is made up of three main cattle breeds; Hereford, Aberdeen Angus and Limousin. We thought it would be nice to introduce you to these breeds. Hereford Cow Breed The Hereford can be recognized by its white face. It is a very docile cow and can adapt to many conditions. Female cows are able to produce and wean a calf every year. You can see some Hereford cows in the background of this photograph. For more information click HERE to visit the Hereford Cattle Society Website.
