Dale McPherson<br />
Agri-Businessman of the Year<br />
Dale McPherson was born in 1929 to<br />
Gene and Ida McPherson and grew up<br />
26 miles east of Sturgis on a 20,000 acre<br />
plus Pioneer Black Hills <strong>Hereford</strong> Ranch.<br />
After attending college for a time and<br />
spending two years in the army, Dale<br />
returned to college at the National College<br />
of Business in<br />
Rapid City,<br />
w h i l e<br />
operating<br />
McPherson<br />
Auction<br />
Company.<br />
He married<br />
his wife<br />
Dorothy in<br />
1958 and<br />
together have<br />
two sons, Kevin and Todd.<br />
Over the last 40 years Dale has<br />
auctioned sales at Rapid City, Wall, St.<br />
Onge, Belle Fourche, Philip, Presho,<br />
Mitchell, Martin, Highmore, Chadron and<br />
Rushville Nebraska, and Hettinger North<br />
Dakota and of course Faith Livestock<br />
Auction, where Dale considers his home.<br />
But Dale McPherson’s auctioneering<br />
talents don’t stop at livestock auctions.<br />
He was the first auctioneer to do a real<br />
estate auction on the internet in Western<br />
South Dakota. McPherson Auction<br />
Company continues to be the premier<br />
auction service for farm and ranch, real<br />
estate, and they’ve even handled a gun<br />
show every now and then.<br />

community organizations including the<br />
Rapid City Chamber of Commerce,<br />

Livestock Association, the Old Timers<br />
Cowboy Breakfast and St. Jude’s<br />
Research Hospital.<br />
He was recently inducted into the South<br />
Dakota Auctioneers Association Hall of<br />
Fame.<br />
Now sons Kevin and Todd are involved<br />
in auctioneering, but that hasn’t slowed<br />
Dale from being involved in area auctions.<br />
His long term support to the agriculture<br />
and business community is why he has<br />
been chosen as this year Black Hills<br />
Stockshow Agri-businessman of the Year.<br />
Dick & Pearl Taylor<br />
BHSS Hall of Fame<br />

family moved<br />
to Rapid City<br />

f a t h e r<br />

thirty years.<br />

grew up on a ranch near Pactola and also<br />
graduated from Rapid City High School<br />
and the Black Hills Commercial College.<br />
The couple lived and worked in Seattle<br />
for a time before returning to the Black<br />
Hills where Dick entered into partnership<br />
with his father and brother.<br />
Dick established the Golden Rule<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Ranch in Rapid Valley and later<br />
acquired the Sanders Ranch at Pactola.<br />
The Taylor’s have been very active in<br />
the Stock Growers for over fifty years<br />
and have held offices or participated in<br />
other organizations including; the Black<br />
Hills <strong>Hereford</strong> Breeder’s Association,<br />
Black Hills Exposition and Central States<br />

grandkids.<br />
The Taylor’s dedication and<br />
involvement in the South Dakota<br />
Stockgrowers Association, The Black<br />
Hills Stock Show, Central State’s Fair and<br />
other community committees has<br />
rightfully earned them the spot in the <strong>2005</strong><br />
