Fresh Market "Hereford" Beef
Posted on 12/22/13 at 8:28 am

I've bought meat from them occasionally, but not sure what this designation is. Like the AG stores "Angus" beef? Looking at buying a standing rib roast thanks to the other thread, trying to decide on the Fresh Market Hereford or the AG Angus USDA Choice. Both are $7.99/#.

both are stamped Choice by USDA
wish i could be of more help, but eyeball test is best indicator at this point. really cant go wrong

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

LEBLANC'S has choice for 7.99 and "Chairmans Reserve" for 8.99, the CR is still choice but suppose to be the upper end of choice, it looks a lot better and worth the dollar in my opinion , not prime but I would bet prime would be close to 18-20/lb

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

What he said. Just a breed. They're both great beef breeds. The Angus marketing people have just done a really good job with their brand.

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.

According to Alton Brown there are only three grades of beef which are select, choice and prime. There are several types of choice like angus, Hereford, premium choice and so on. He said don't be fooled by the fancy names cause they are pretty much the same so don't pay extra for say premium choice.

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.

51% angus 49% Hereford would make it an angus, reverse those numbers and it is a Hereford. Just saying that it might be a little marketing.
However, this is FDB, most people can probably taste the 2% difference.

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)

As previously mentioned, Hereford is a breed of cattle.
Fresh Market usually markets their Hereford beef as "grass fed", and it is definitely leaner.

This is what they look like on the outside.

I'm so not going to post my OT response.
Think I'll go take a look at them. Not sure if leaner is better cooking a whole roast.
