Behind the Scenes

Hereford Tour Part 2

Until recently, Denny Hoffman has been a northern California cattleman.  He imagined better prospects for an operation in Nebraska and so far the move has not disappointed him.

Wes Hudson says Hereford cattle are good and productive, everything a good  English breed should be.  He acknowledges that Herefords have had their ups and downs, but firmly believes that they’re still around because “they’re so family oriented.” 

When Bill King was a youngster in New Mexico he thought his best chance of winning a judging contest trip was to compete in the dairy cow division.  He learned from a copy of Hoard’s Dairyman what a decent dairy animal should look like and sure enough, his team won.  Now he serves Hereford breeders as President of the American Hereford Association.
