As far as I’m concerned all these stakeholders are local food heroes. Hats off to you!
Are there any laws against raising these in town? I like the idea of being able to sit down to a nice Scotland Herfordshire T-bone any time I want. Will a .357 do the job?
And Brad, is this your secret to being a demon on a pair of skis? Because when I eat steak, I think it has the opposite effect on me.
I’m gonna have to whore myself out so I can eat at Tycoons.
That’s Hereford cattle – Herzog, pronounced hair-uh-furd and these are not. The TV reporter also ought to have known they are “Scottish Highland cattle.”
Herefords and Angus are widely regarded as excellent beef producing cattle. The beasts in Twig though are better suited to live a natural life given the climatic and environmental conditions of the Arrowhead.
As someone who grew up in cattle ranch and dairy country, and occasionally worked with said beasts, I can tell you it is pronounced “hur-furd” … just like the Brahaman breed is actually pronounced “braymer.”
The reporter said “Highland cattle, an unusual breed that originated in Scotland.” He never said “Hereford” or “Herfordshire” or any similarly pronounced word.
I was actually guessing because I couldn’t remember, pretty good guess huh, for not having grown up raising cattle? They are cute.
Paul – you are right.
In.dog. – having been to Hereford, the county town of Herefordshire, the namesake of the Hereford, there is nowhere called “Hur-furd” and you would get some funny looks at the agricultural shows I’ve attended if you went looking for the “hur-furds.”
But we digress. These are Highland cattle — and happy ones at that. Did you know that a group of Highland cattle are not a herd but a fold? The term arose because a cowman would put his cattle into a fold at night to protect them from wolves and wild weather.
Well, I grew up in Texas and was heavily involved in the FFA, so that might explain something.
