Business meeting with a Mr. Roy Largent III

The Faculty of Biotechnologies, Standardization, Livestock Products Processing and Producing held a business meeting with a Mr. Roy Largent III - American agricultural businessman, ranger, breeder, member of the Miniature Hereford Breeders Association. Mr. Largent presented the results of his research and shared more than thirty years of agricultural businesses experience in the United States’ Middle West. Also was discussed the possibility of a scientific cooperation and joint business projects. 

The concept of the Miniature Herefords was conceived in 1970 by Roy Largent III as a high school project. The purpose was to create a small beef animal that would be ideal for the small property owner to raise and slaughter their own beef without the need for heavy cattle handling equipment. In addition, a smaller beef animal allows an owner to utilize smaller freezers and thereby bypassing the use of expensive butchering facilities that use large freezers to accommodate the modern 12-1400 lb. beeves.
