Administrative history
Nova Hereford Farms was located in Petite Riviere, NS, Canada. Ernest Himmelman purchased the land in 1940 for the purpose of breeding Holstein dairy cattle, however, decided to change his focus to breeding Hereford beef cattle.
Nova Hereford Farms was known to have one of the finest herds of Herefords, and was the first farm east of Ontario to have sold bulls to Alberta and British Columbia farmers. The cattle won national acclaim for the quality of Ernest's breeding operation. In 1960, the Hereford bull "Whittern National Velvet" was judged Canada's grand champion at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, Ontario.
