Miniature Herefords are full blooded Herefords and are registered through Herefords Australia (they are just a line of Herefords). Like other Herefords, they are primarily used as a beef animal. Miniature Herefords are about 30-50% the size of traditional Herefords.

The ideal conformation and breeding characteristics of a miniature Hereford are the same as traditional Herefords. The primary difference being height – an adult Miniature Hereford Cow can not be taller than 119.4 cm (47”) at the hip, while a Bull can not be taller than 124.5 cm (49”) at the hip.

In Australia, Herefords are classed as miniature Herefords if the animal is registered with Herefords Australia (HAL) and has the MH or MP indicator on their registration certificate (meaning that they have miniature Hereford bloodlines) AND their frame score is 2 or less at age 2 years.

Australian Miniature Herefords have prize winning cattle in both the United States and Canada from which we flushed/drew and imported embryos and semen during 1997. A number of these embryos have been sold to selected breeders in Australia and New Zealand and the balance have been used as our foundation stock.

We have both horned and poll miniature Herefords.
