Which breed matches the description of a red and white-faced breed with erect ears?

• A. Duroc
• B. Hereford
• C. American Landrace
• D. Berkshire

Answer: (B)

The description points to a breed known for a red body with a white face, and ears that stand upright. That combination is a classic hallmark of the Hereford breed. The red body and white face are distinctive, and in many individuals the ears are erect, which helps set it apart from other breeds. Duroc is solid red with usually droopy ears, not a white face. American Landrace is predominantly white with long, very droopy ears that often cover the face. Berkshire is black with white points (face, legs, tail), not red with a white face. So the red-and-white-faced, erect-eared pattern best fits Hereford.
