“The objects and purposes of
the organization, as set forth by
resolution adopted at the first
meeting was to promote the in
terests of the Hereford breed of
cattle and to secure their in
troduction and trial more gen
erally throughout the beef pro
ducing section 6f the country,
believing that a fair and impar
tial trial of these alongside the
other beef breeds would estab
lish their superiority as profit
able beef producers, both as
grazers and in the stalls, m abil
ity to withstand hardships and in
quality of product.”
Up to 1900 a total of 125,000
entries had been recorded. The
next ten years increased total
registrations to 350,000.
next decade brought an'in
crease to 982,3567 Today, near
ly 9% million Herefordss are
entered on the Association
' records with registrations last

(rations for the first 35 years.
He thinks of Herefords because
he has learned to associate the
white faces and red bodies with
scenes that have become typical
across America. He sees them
grazing in pastures along high
ways from' coast to coast and
from the Canadian border to
Florida. He has seen them
munching at troughs m feedlots
over the nation. He has enjoyed
the Hereford industry’s end pro
duct in the form of a succulent
steak, and he has learned
to associate Herefords in the
grand champion’s circle in live
stock shows in virtually every
state
