Homozygous Black,
Black Hereford
Black calves with a white face traditionally fetch a premium in the market and a large portion of the New Zealand dairy herd carries the red gene. To combat this our Black Hereford is Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled with great Calving Ease.
Why Black Hereford?
Black Herefords are black cattle with whiteheads known for easy calving, good marbling meat, and quality carcasses.
This genetic solution is originally derived from crossbreeding between Herefords and Angus cattle.
Homozygous Polled?
Homozygous PP means that the particular animal won’t have any horns and the offspring from that animal will be born without horns. Polled cattle help in avoiding dehorning and stress on animals leading to a more sustainable farming environment.
