ABOUT ALWARD FAMILY FARM
We have a small herd of polled hereford cattle along the Saint John River in NewBrunswick near the village of meductic . Between me (Ben), my father (David) and mother (Rhonda), we run about a dozen purebred hereford females. With the small numbers, we are always striving to improve genetics in our herd by using top sires and keeping a strong maternal base in our herd. We strive to have strong depenable cow families that could hold there own in any herd. Due to a small land base, high end breeding stock are forsale at all times. We also consign some of our herefords to the Down East Hereford Sale annually. We work off the farm, where my father was first elected as a MLA in 1999 and became Premier in 2010. I work as a Plumber and Pipe Fitter. In the future we would like to increase our herd size, especially with beef prices rising and looking stronger again. My father has been breeding cattle for 30 years and through the years have competed strongly at some of the top shows. We are active in the 4H program as well, where I am beef leader now after completing 11 years in 4H. I have also been an active junior hereford member competing at 5 Bonanzas and other junior shows. . Herefords run deep in my family, where my great grandfather raised them and competed at livestock shows as far back as the 1950's.It has been passed down through the generations and will continue into the future. I appreciate you taking the time to look at our site and feel free to contact us at any tIme.
HEREFORD EFFICIENCY

Docile, feed efficient, meat quality, calving ease, fertility and longevity all combine together for an animal to give you the most "bang for your buck". As a farmer you cant help but love the easy handling animals and their cost efficiency. More and more, the industry is waking up to realize that this great breed of cattle does indeed have what it takes to be a vibrant part of the beef industry and is poised to improve the beef cattle herd as a whole in Canada and around the world. Though strong breeding gentetcs the hereford breed continues to meet industry demands with strong ribeye, marbling and yielding scores. As we move on into the future, they will be hard to look around as they are such a strong benefit to the beef industry.http://www.hereford.ca/CHD pdf/2010_marketing_mailout.pdfhttp://www.mbhereford.ca/herefords.htmlhttp://www.herefordcattle.org/pdfs/p146-147.pdf
