The Hereford World

AD Dimensions GLOSSY Format — (8.125” x 10.75”)

(March, April, May/June, July, September, November and December) Hereford World magazine is published for conscientious Hereford breeders and commercial cattlemen who make their living in the beef industry.

Timely articles and editorial columns provide readers with information to help them make sound management and marketing decisions.

From basic how-to articles to in-depth reports on cutting-edge technologies, the Hereford World offers its readers a solid package of beef industry information.

Hereford World is the official voice of the American Hereford Association (AHA). The audience is a solid core of loyal readers who don’t just read the Hereford World every month — they study it. The magazine is produced 11 times a year, with seven glossy issues mailing to 5,800 subscribers, and four tabloid newspapers mailing to 20,000 commercial cattlemen and Hereford producers. Paid subscribers receive the glossy magazine, the majority of which are registered Hereford breeders. The tabloid newspaper is an advertising vehicle editorially centered to reach commercial producers interested in Hereford genetics.

The March, April, May/June, July, September, November and December issues are published as glossy magazines. The January, February, August and October issues are published as a tabloid. Articles and columns provide in-depth information about the beef industry.

The tabloid version of the Hereford World has built a loyal following among commercial producers using Hereford genetics. These individuals see and respond to the advertising messages in its pages. The audience base grows each year as producers continue to realize the value of Hereford genetics. It’s a smart decision to advertise in the Hereford World.

Your advertisement in the Hereford World grants additional exposure beyond your ad. Advertisers’ sale dates are published in the calendar in print and online far in advance. Your sale results are posted on Hereford.org for at least a year. Advertisers meeting the minimum requirements for field staff coverage also will have a sale report listing their top selling lots and averages from sale day in the Hereford World.

Banner Ads & Catalogs

Banner advertisements rotate throughout the AHA website (Hereford.org) and are visible on all the popular pages. Hereford breeders can advertise their operation via a banner ad that shows the breeder’s logo, contact information, sale date, etc.

The banner ad serves as a direct link to a breeder’s website or online sale catalog that has more complete information on their operation and program.
