World Hereford Council
The World Hereford Council
has made a historic move to
endorse programs to gather
performance information on
white face cattle world-wide-to
insure the breed’s universal
leadership in the efficient
production of quality beef.
Member associations and
societies from all the beef
producing countries of the free
world and the communist world
unanimously adopted a
resolution at the sixth World
Hereford Conference in South
Africa’s famed Kruger National
Park calling for intensified ef
forts to identify genetically
superior breeding animals in the .
traits of greatest economic im
portance.
This action by delegates of the
World Hereford Council to
assemble in a different country
every four years was generally
regarded as a “significant
milestone” since the inception in
1951 of the world-wide group of
National Hereford and Polled
Hereford registration
organizations.
The historic resolution was
forthcoming after a presentation
by Orville K. Sweet, executive
secretary of the American Polled
Hereford Association with
headquarters in Kansas City,
Mo., who suggested that the
World Hereford Conference
become a “forum for the

that the member country
organizations have achieved
their goal of world-wide
reciprocal exchange of
registration records.
Sweet offered the concept that
traditional ancestral pedigree
registration certificates such as
are issued by all World Hereford
Council member associations
could be “more meaningful and
more useful” by indicating the
animal’s performance record.
Sweet noted that the “master
breeders” of Herefords in the
past did not use this method
because they did not have the
technology available to them that
exists in this day. But, he
declared, that famous breeders
of the past such as England’s
Captain de Quincey and
America’s Gudgell and Simpson
would have used it, adding “our
successors will use it, and so will
our competition use it.”
Some 700 Hereford and Polled
Hereford breeders and en-
thusiasts from all over the world
attended this sixth World
Hereford Conference in South
Africa making this the largest
influx of foreign visitors for any
meeting in South Africa’s
history. The seventh World
Hereford Conference, four years
hence in 1976, will be held in
Canada.
