Hereford, Texas Travel Guide

Region: Panhandle Plains

This Panhandle town was named for the many Hereford cattle that once grazed here. Today cattle remain an important part of the city's economy: an estimated three million head of cattle are moved through here every year and the town's motto is "The Beef Capital of the World." Although you won't find many attractions in the city, it makes a good stopping point as you drive through the region.
