Origins
How can the breed be "originally from Paris, France" and yet at the same time be "originating in cool, moist Britain"? 83.104.249.240 (talk) 14:31, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Merger from Polled Hereford
Since the article states that the breed registry considers Polled Herefords and Herefords the same breed, shouldn't this be merged with Hereford (cattle)? Psyphics 03:47, 6 April 2006 (UTC), fixed wikilink Psyphics 03:18, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

No really sure about that. Many shows still separate the horned and polled breeds and most auctions differentiate them when selling. Polled Herefords also tend to lack some of the muscling of their horned counterparts because they were selected for a secondary trait.

I intend to do this merge unless there are strong objections...?? --Charles (talk) 20:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Though I completed the tagging for this merge nomination, I don't see the reason to merge if they are significantly different. --Kevin Murray (talk) 21:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose yes there is a linage between polled hereford and herford but they are considered two diffrent breeds.  Electrical  Experiment 17:18, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

desperately needed
In the history section, there ought to be a discussion about what breeds the Hereford replaced where they were adopted outside England and why. 4.249.63.161 (talk) 12:43, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Aubrac (cattle) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 23:32, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Reference format
I'm thinking of trying to do some work on this page, and in particular adding some of the long and rather interesting history of the breed. I'd also like to add to and improve the references. Would anyone object if I changed the referencing system to list-defined at the same time (the only real change is that the references are moved into the reference section at the foot of the page, which makes it easier to read the wikitext)? I'll probably do so in a day or two if no-one minds, but will not go ahead if there is opposition. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:20, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
