Deeply rooted in cattle and agriculture, Hereford got its name from the Hereford Cattle that were brought to this country in 1898. Fed by two underground aquifers, Hereford has always been abundant in crops like wheat, corn, milo, alfalfa, and cotton. Hereford is known as the cattle capital of the world with its many feed yards. The dairy industry is also well established adding to a great feeding industry.
