Herefords have to watch out for cougars, wolves, bears and coyotes mostly that will steal their calves. Cattle that are weak or sick are targets for these predators as well. We humans are also "predators" of Herefords, but more so on purpose because Herefords are bred as a meat animal for human consumption.
