Fresh Market "Hereford" Beef

You're looking at Juniors out in French Settlement? I know he carries the Hereford line, supposed to be pretty good.


NVM, see Fresh Market now

Hereford is a breed of beef cattle, just as Angus is a breed.

I think Hereford and Angus classifications are very liberal marketing terms, and these are actually brand names used rather than the breed of cattle itself.


This is where an alton brown lecture would help.

No. Hereford and Angus are both beef breeds of cattle and each breed associatin goes through a lot to get their beef product specifically labeled as such. Specific qualities must be met to certify their beef, assuring the consumer of quality and specific standards (ie marbling, quality, etc). And between the two, I doubt anyone could tell the difference, so do the eye test and you should be fine.

Plenty of 100 percent angus and 100 percent Hereford herds in LA. Lots of cross cattle too, but not being sold as purebred. Both breed associations have registries and pedigree tracking.

Breed of beef has nothing to do with grade (prime, choice, etc)

This is what they look like on the outside.
