There have been postings on Hereford hogs on here. Just do a search (top right corner) for hereford hogs and I'm sure something will turn up.

Overrun with beasties
My uncle gave me three Hereford sows to help me start out: Wilma, Betty and Pebbles. I kept them for about a year and after being unsuccessful at A.I. I sold them at the sale barn and used the money to buy my first Berkshire and a pair of Red Wattle gilts.
I really like the breed, they are easy keepers, calm and as pretty in person as you could hope for. I was at a Team Purebred hog show in February and noticed half a dozen or better Herefords. I nearly came home with a new gilt, there was a nice looking sturdy girl and IF I had a place ready for her- she would have been out in the pasture with everyone else. They are gaining in popularity and are easier to get ahold of than when I had mine.
Doug Loof raises a lot of the seed stock for most breeders. I have found them from coast to coast and they usually bring Berkshire prices.
