While the product is similar to Certified Hereford Beef don’t confuse the two companies—there are some major differences. Ridgefield’s clientele is primarily the high-end restaurant trade along with country clubs and small niche market grocery stores. (See page 5 for a few photos.) After a whirlwind equity drive within the state of South Dakota this summer $19 million dollars was raised to fund construction of its own state-of the art, beef processing facility in Huron, SD. Yes, building! Not only has this increased the awareness of the Hereford breed, its benefits in a crossbreeding program and the absolutely fabulous beef our breed produces, it is giving cattle producers in South Dakota and the surrounding states another avenue to market their beef. If you or anyone you know would like back issues of our paper in which we ran news features on this project please contact us. We would be glad to send the articles to you. You can also access information and construction photos on the company’s website at www.rfsd.com Everywhere we go people are asking us questions about the new packing plant. I’d like to address some of the more frequently asked questions here. First of all, construction is on schedule. At the present time all of the site preparation has been finished and closed up for the winter. Concrete will be poured in early spring.

At 600+ head per day Ridgefield will be procuring cattle from outside the state of South Dakota. The breed requirements for their Premium Hereford Beef line, which is estimated to make up 40% of their daily harvest, is at least 50% Hereford with the remainder being another English breed such as Angus, Red Angus, South Devon or Shorthorn. The proposed South Dakota Certified program which is a state-endorsed program is primarily a marketing system for beef from South Dakota. In a nutshell the program stamps its South Dakota Certified label on beef from cattle that are born, raised, fed and processed in the state of South Dakota. The idea of cattle being (continued on page 6)
