Deaf Smith County Chamber

Hereford, Texas "Beef Capital of the World." Agriculture and Cattle driving one of the most diverse economies in the Texas Panhandle. Poised for the future with an outstanding quality of life.

Deeply rooted in cattle and agriculture, Hereford got its name from the Hereford Cattle that were brought to this country in 1898. Fed by two underground aquifers, Hereford has always been abundant in crops like wheat, corn, milo, alfalfa, and cotton. Hereford is known as the cattle capital of the world with its many feed yards. The dairy industry is also well established adding to a great feeding industry.

Hereford and Deaf Smith County have all the essentials that go together to make up a prosperous and progressive center for business and industry in the great High Plains of Texas.
