A Hereford cow is a cow that is of the breed Hereford. She is red with a white face, mane, lower legs, belly and switch, with a little white on her belly. She is very adaptable, and can be found in the veld in South Africa or in the prairies or mountains of North America. She can also be found where forage is abundant, such as in the grassy plains of Uruguay and pastures up on Alberta.

Will hereford cow calve a limousin calf?
No. A Hereford cow will only give birth to a Hereford-Limousin cross calf if bred to a Limousin bull. Only a Limousin cow can give birth to a Limousin calf--IF she's bred to a Limousin bull. Just like a Hereford cow can only give birth to a Hereford calf if bred to a Hereford bull. Otherwise, she too (referring to the Limousin cow) can give birth to Hereford-Limousin-cross calf if bred to a Hereford bull.

How much does a white face cow weigh?
It all depends on what you are referring to as a "white face" cow: Are you referring to a: Simmental? Hereford? Simmental cross? Hereford cross? or... The famous Angus x Hereford black baldy? No matter, a beef cow of the typical breeds above weighs between 1100 and 1700 lbs. Simmentals are typically bigger than the Herefords and Hereford crosses, so some Simmental cows can reach up to 1800 lbs where the big Herefords only reach up to 1600 lbs.
