Hereford is the livestock and agricultural centre for Herefordshire and neighbouring mid-Wales. The characteristic red soil and the climate of the county lends itself to grass production, becoming the home ground of the internationally renowned beef breed of "white face" Hereford cattle. Benjamin Tomkins, who inherited a bull calf and a cow from his father's estate in 1723, founded the Hereford breed approximately two and a half centuries ago. Livestock and general market each Saturday, open market every Saturday and a Farmer's Market on the third Thursday in the month 9.00 am to 2.00 pm. Early closing day : Thursday
