In the late 1960’s ranchers started to breed larger cattle. A few did not believe bigger was better and selectively bred to maintain the smaller animal.
Thicker and chunkier in appearance, Miniature Herefords are just the opposite of the extra large beef cattle of today.
Some say the smaller size has shorter muscle length and definition, in theory resulting in more tender meat. (not yet scientifically proven)
Smaller size means a more appropriate steak size. A lot of the steaks you see today cover a dinner plate. Considering recommended serving sizes today, Mini Hereford steak is right on the money.
