Steel Buildings in Hereford, TX
Ag, feedyard and shop buildings in Hereford and Deaf Smith County.
Take US 60 southwest out of Amarillo and keep going for about 48 miles, and you'll roll into Hereford, the county seat of Deaf Smith County. The city calls itself the Beef Capital of the World, and it isn't being modest.
By the city's own count, more than a million head of cattle are fed in the yards around town every year. Cattle need feed, feed needs storage, and the trucks and loaders that haul it around need somewhere to sit out of the weather.
So the buildings people ask about here tend to be big ones, with tall doors and wide bays that don't have posts in the way. Measure the biggest machine you'll park inside, cab and all, and give that number to the builder before anything else.
What to have ready
