Serving Commercial Cattlemen & Registered Hereford Breeders 

It seems like the 

“number ones” are 

always the ones 

that everyone is 

gunning for. For 

several years a car 

rental company 

advertised that we 

are number two 

and that seemed to make them proud. 

Now the number one big boy, the 

Angus breed, is getting the pressure 

put on their breed. You have to give 

them credit for what they have done, 

they have out promoted every breed, 

in every way, the past 25 years, may 

be more that that, since we dropped 

our carcass program about l980. The 

AHA has put together a good counter 

program promoting the great 

outcross. It is obvious that this is 

stinging because the Angus breed 

has come back with a program of 

their own saying, “breeders stay 

where you’re at, you’re doing very 

well at this time.” Our Hereford 

sales in the commercial industry are 

very good as most of our commercial 

bull sales are going to Angus 

customers. 

But now, a new kid has entered the 

block. The Lowline, who the advertisers 

say are black hided, naturally 

polled, and are widely adapted to a 

wide variety of climates. They are 

small, quite small, and the advertisers 

say, they are the original Angus? 

Since some Angus breeders are 

downsizing, as well as some Hereford 

breeders, it appears that some 

real salesmanship is in the offering. 

There are some things to think 

about on this size thing. The big 

steer still brings the most money

After 60 years of raising Polled Herefords this 

couple has an extensive Hereford family 

By B. Lynn Gordon 

You have to travel many miles to find two people that 

are more passionate about the cattle business and specifically 

Polled Herefords than Jack and Bev Beeson, Wayne, 

NE. For more than 60 years, Jack Beeson has owned a 

Hereford animal, borrowing money as a freshman in high 

school and following the advice on cattle selection learned 

from his vocational agricultural teacher to purchase his 

first Hereford. Jack’s love and interest in Herefords has 

only grown from then. 

Today the couple doesn’t miss a day of work on the 

ranch and enjoy every minute they are out feeding the 

cattle, watching the calves develop and determining

Bev and Jack Beeson where they like to be...with their cows. 

Beery Family: Raising Herefords To 

Fit Ever Changing Needs of Breeders 

By Heather Hamilton 

“We’re 70 miles from both the Canadian 

border and North Dakota, in dry 

land prairie country where a cow has to 

work pretty hard to do what’s expected 

of her. We make them earn their way, 

all the way,” stated Eddy Beery of his 

family’s registered and commercial 

Hereford outfit, located near Vida, MT. 

Eddy’s family has, “always been doing 

something a little bit different,” to 

make the operation work since it began 

with his uncles in the homestead days 

prior to 1910. In the 1920s, Eddy’s father 

Newell, originally from southern 

Iowa, walked to the area and joined his 

uncles on the operation, where he later 

raised five kids with his wife, Margaret. 

“I was like everybody else in the 

early 1960s, if I had some time I went 

to those little county fairs and showed 

cattle. It was just the thing you did,” 

Beery Land & Livestock is located in eastern Montana, 70 miles from the Canadian and North Dakota 

borders. They have raised Hereford cattle for 74 years. 

began Eddy when asked how he met 

his wife. “I was getting kind of old 

to show against 4-H kids, and Joanne 

was a couple years younger than me, 

so I hired her to show a steer for me 

one time. She did well, and pretty soon 

I thought maybe I would keep her on 

permanent, and I still have her,” he said 

with a laugh. 

Eddy and Joanne also raised five kids 

while running the operation. Eddy said 

that in his mind the ranching lifestyle 

created a better future for his children,

Western America has an Angus based cow herd. 

Elkington bulls will give you added growth with greater 

life span over a straight Angus cow. Our customers are 

reporting 35 lbs. to 80 lbs. added at weaning over their 

straight Angus calves. Black Baldy calves have always 

been the preferred cattle in the industry Elkington bulls 

will produce these sought after calves. 

Our severe environment culls inefficient, poorfleshing 

cattle. Forty years of selection has greatly 

increased the efficiency and fleshing ability of our 

cattle. Line bred Elkington Bulls will produce high 

performing calves and easy fleshing high producing 

cows that will work anywhere on less feed then most 

cows are accustomed to. Our bulls live in harsh 

conditions and are developed on a high roughage 

ration at high altitude between 6000 and 7000 feet.

In the East and South, it may be different, 

but I don’t think so. Is this smaller 

trend coming? 

I can remember in the end of World 

War II, we had in the Hereford world a

“compress” Herefords. They stated all

some of these other guys are pushing 

now and they got a pretty good following 

for a time. We were showing cattle 

then and for a while the “compress” 

won the shows. I can remember we had 

a real good heifer that stood about a 

foot taller than some of the compressed 

types. She was good enough that we 

still could win some with her, but not

always. We held our course with the 

size but it 

took about 10 years for the trend 

to eliminate itself. As I tell this story 

I have to relate about an e-mail I just 

got from a former AHA board member, 

reminding me that I am getting pretty 

old and that old stuff is not relevant 

any more, so if you don’t want to read 

about some Hereford history, you may 

wish to read the sale reports. I think 

that various experiment stations have 

proven through the years that the cross 

breeding really pays. Mike Mac Neil, 

formerly of Fort Keogh in Miles City, 

told me maybe 10 years ago that the 

commercial breeder was leaving up to 

$100 on the table, if he or she was not 

crossbreeding their commercial cattle. 

My humble, gray haired opinion, is 

that the little cattle will only be once 

again, a fad over the years. I think that 

we can live with type 6s and 7s for a 

long while, in the purebred Hereford 

business. 

In some families death seems to 

strike too often and too fast. Last week 

I was informed of the death of Bill 

Fraser, a long-time Hereford breeder 

from Reed Point, MT, a small town 

west of Billings, about 50 miles. Just a 

few months ago I wrote about the death 

of Katie Fraser, his wife. Bill and his 

family raised the Evan Mischief line of 

cattle and sold the sire of Mischief D4 

to Deschmaekers who were at the time 

one of the big kids on the block in the 

Hereford industry. The Frasers carried 

their Hereford herd on for nearly 70 

years until Bill and his family decided 

to retire from the purebred industry. 

Bill and Katie carried on a commercial 

herd even into the last few years of their 

lives. If you look back into the annals 

into the ’60s and ’70s you will find the 

Hereford family of the Evan Mischiefs 

and Mischief were very prevalent in 

Denver and in the performance data of 

that time. One of the carload winners in 

Denver in the ’70s was an all Mischief 

group that traced back to the Fraser 

cattle. Read the obituary on William S. 

Fraser in another location of this issue 

of Hereford America. We will miss you 

Bill and Katie. 

We are now approaching year 2013. 

The cattle business in general has been 

very good for the past few years and the 

Hereford industry has shown a real up 

swing. The National Western at Denver 

will soon be upon us and in the next 

few months some of the best Hereford 

sales in the industry will occur. The 

drought days that we suffered from this 

past summer, we hope, are now behind 

us and we have snow cover for the first

what a drought is. It’s pretty easy to see 

why even a camel has trouble surviving 

in that area. 

I have received three communications 

in regards to my last editorial in 

Hereford America from AHA board 

members. Two of the Directors went to 

great lengths to explain to me why they 

had made their decisions and why they 

thought those decisions needed to be 

made by the board at this time. In two 

of the instances, the directors felt that I 

had made some errors in my criticisms 

of the major board decisions. I think 

that the dialog that I had with each of 

these people was good, however, I am 

not convinced that either one of us, in 

our conversations, changed our minds 

about the things being discussed. In the 

case of two of the directors, they had 

admitted to me that they had not realized 

the long term effects that would 

come about as a result of their decisions. 

I have received several communications 

from breeders that have totally 

agreed with my position. The issues 

can probably be talked about more at 

Denver and in the upcoming year, but 

I have raised the issues that I thought 

needed to be addressed and I think 

that now, from my standpoint those 

issues need to be put to rest. When the 

only objections to my article (that I 

received) were AHA board members, 

the breeders in the industry should 

take it from there because of all of the 

people who contacted me that liked my 

article were breeders, who were not 

board members. 

I wish you all a joyous Holiday 

Season and hope that 2013 will be a 

good year for you.

a family that had Shorthorn cattle in 

southwestern Minnesota. Her father 

was honored as Shorthorn Builder of 

the Breed and judged many of the top 

Shorthorn shows. So it’s no surprise that 

it was the cattle that brought this couple 

together. Jack and Bev met while exhibiting 

cattle at the 1954 Sioux Empire 

Farm Show in Sioux Falls, S.D. They 

were married in 1957. Their dedication 

for exhibiting cattle for 50 years at the 

Nebraska State Fair was highlighted in 

the Omaha World Herald in 2009. 

History began with Hervale Farms 

Their history in the Hereford breed 

really developed when Jack moved from 

his roots in Garber, Oklahoma to northeastern 

Nebraska in 1950 to be herdsman 

for Hervale Farms, headquartered 

just a mile north of where the Beesons 

purchased their current farm in 1973. 

Hervale Farms, owned by Leland Herman, 

consisted of 250 cows during its 

peak. Leland Herman was active in the 

American Polled Hereford Association 

(APHA), serving as Chairman of the

Board in 1974-75. Jack was instrumental 

in developing the Hervale herd and 

after the two were married they travelled 

extensively showing at all the major 

shows including six or seven state fairs 

annually. Hervale Farms exhibited the 

1965 National Champion Heifer and 

was honored to have owned two SOP 

(Standard of Perfection) bulls, Diamond 

Too and JS Spiedel 260. 

Bev created her own history. In 1966, 

she was honored as Herdsman of the 

Year at the National Polled Hereford 

Show in Oklahoma City, OK — the 

first female to receive the honor. Her 

devotion to feeding, developing and 

showing Herefords didn’t go unnoticed 

by her peers. “What makes this award

the 1960s most of the herdsmen at that 

time were men,” Bev says. “So it was 

a real honor for me to win the award, 

especially at a time before women’s lib.” 

For 27 years the Beesons worked 

diligently promoting and developing the 

Hervale cowherd. And during that time 

they were able to build a small herd of 

Polled Herefords of their own. In 1978, 

they decided it was time to go on their 

own. “This was a very tough decision,” 

says Jack, “we really had a great relationship 

with Leland, and respected him 

so much, but we wanted to take on the 

challenge of developing our own herd.”

participated at the state and national 

level of the National Junior Polled 

Hereford Association (NJPHA). 

Jack and Bev wanted him to meet 

and compete alongside other young 

cattle people. Jock showed heifers 

at 15 consecutive Junior Nationals 

(1981-1996) and the family travelled 

with many other Nebraska 

families to these events building 

lifelong friendships. Jack knew it 

would be hard to equip Jock consis- 

This shot made the Polled Hereford World 

and Kansas City Star in 1974. The PHW said, 

“The best seat in the house was occupied 

by young Jock Beeson, son of Jack and Bev 

Beeson of Wayne, Neb., who made a tour of 

the sale ring on his mother’s back when she 

led out the Lot 11 bull, XL 324 for Hervale

tently with a heifer that could compete 

against some of the top end so the family 

made it a priority to encourage Jock to 

participate in the many other skill building 

activities. By the time Jock wrapped 

up his career as a junior member, he had 

won both the junior and senior divisions 

of the public speaking and showmanship 

competitions, the youngest to ever win 

each of these divisions. Jock also was 

selected by his peers to serve as vice 

chairman of the Junior Polled Hereford 

Council. Jock and his wife Brenda now 

raise Simmental cattle near Crawford, 

NE. 

The Basis of JB Ranch 

The motto at JB Ranch is, ‘Be good 

to the cattle and the cattle will be good 

to you.’ The Beesons have found a line 

of Polled Herefords today that really 

work for them and it’s obvious because 

the herd is deeply founded within this 

breeding program. The Beesons were 

on the hunt for polled cattle that were 

consistent, sound, had solid maternal 

traits and produced quality cattle that 

allowed them to market purebred bulls 

to commercial men. After using many 

A.I. sires that had become popular 

through the shows they found they just 

weren’t able to build a consistent cowherd. 

That’s when Jack mentioned to 

Byron Bayers of Montana his dilemma, 

Byron responded and said, ‘you need to 

go visit Paul and Berva Hinderager in 

Montana owner of Anchor Polled Herefords.’ 

Bryon had seen the Hinderager 

cattle on a Montana Hereford Tour and 

was impressed with the genetic abilities 

and the focus of the herd. The JB Polled 

Hereford herd is focused around Anchor 

Braxton 57J genetics. “The cattle were 

short marked, pigmented on their eyes 

and udders, sound feet and legs, easy 

fleshing with good width of muscling,” 

Bev says. 

Although Jack and Bev have reduced 

their cow herd to 45 head after 

six decades in the business, more than 

90% of the herd goes back to Braxton 

breeding. JB Ranch annually sells bulls 

at the Sioux Empire Farm Show, Black

Hills Stock Show, Nebraska Cattlemen’s 

Classic and private treaty. Recently they 

have also had great success through the 

promotional efforts jointly with the Nebraska 

Hereford Association display at 

the Husker Harvest Days, Grand Island, 

NE. In 2011, they sold 10 Hereford bulls 

to one Nebraska rancher who had seen 

their cattle on display. This rancher had 

never used a Hereford bull before and 

is extremely happy with the results. 

They have another customer who has 

bought bulls from them for 22 years. 

They run 350 cows and breed half of 

them to JB Ranch Polled Hereford bulls. 

Another long-time, purebred customer 

has purchased Beeson bulls for three 

generations. 

JB Ranch started taking birth weights, 

weaning weights, yearling weights, ultrasounding 

and gathering EPD information 

in their early APHA involvement. 

Today their herd is enrolled in the Whole 

Herd Reporting program of the AHA. 

Jack and Bev are thrilled that two JB 

Ranch bred bulls are currently working 

in prominent Canadian herds. JB 531 

Braxton Cal 605U was purchased by 

Hills Galore Polled Herefords, Alvin 

and Mary-Kate Pawlitza, Hazlet, SK. 

Cal is sired by Anchor Braxton 57J. 

“We stopped to see Cal on our return trip 

from the World Hereford Conference 

and were impressed with his uniform set 

of calves.” It made us proud to see how 

well Cal is working for the Pawlitza’s. 

Another recent sale the Beesons are 

proud of was the purchase of JB 354 

Anchor Cadet by Bar Pipe Hereford 

Ranch, Okotoks, Alberta, in January 

2012. Cadet is sired by Anchor 49R. 

Jack and Bev also toured the Bar Pipe 

cow herd this summer during their visit 

to Calgary. “Cadet looked great and we 

also saw Anchor 44U who is the sire 

of Anchor 44X that is JB Ranch’s new 

herd sire,” Bev says. An added highlight 

of the trip was the opportunity to see 

the Championship round of the 100th 

Calgary Stampede Rodeo as guests 

of the Cross Family of Bar Pipe. “It’s 

the people that make this business so 

enjoyable,” says Jack. “We have many 

wonderful friends from our years in the 

cattle business.” 

Giving back 

Bev was honored as National Poll-ette 

of the Year in 2009 and was instrumental 

in the beginning of the Nebraska Pollette 

Association. For 37 years, Bev has 

In 2000 the Nebraska Hereford Association 

honored Jack and Bev as Pioneer Breeders. 

donated hand tooled leather banners for 

the Nebraska Polled Hereford Queens 

to wear during their reign and to keep 

as memorabilia. Jack has served on the 

Nebraska Polled Hereford Association 

board — three years as chairman. In 

2000, the Beesons were honored as Pioneer 

Breeders by the Nebraska Hereford 

Association. They are also proud to 

serve as elders of the First Presbyterian 

Church in Wayne. 

When you have been in the business 

for six decades there is a lot that one 

can learn from breeders like Jack and 

Bev. Their advice to the younger generation 

is: “Whatever breed you start 

with — select cattle that are sound, with 

good feet and legs, good temperament 

and the rest of the things will come 

along with it,” Bev says. And Jack adds 

in, work hard — be honest with your 

customers.

In Memory... 

William Sidney Fraser, III 

William Sidney Fraser, III, was 

born June 9, 1934 and departed this 

earth December 5, 2012, in pursuit 

of his lifelong love, his wife Katie, 

whom preceded him in death just seven 

months ago. Bill was in his home on the 

Fraser Family Ranch at Reed Point, MT 

when he died. 

For nearly sixty years, it was Bill 

and Katie, then Mom and Dad, then 

Grampa and Gramma. One was rarely 

without the other and Katie’s absence 

Katie and Bill Fraser 

was unbearable. 

Bill was state Jaycee President and 

a delegate to national conventions in 

Atlanta and Las Vegas. He was active 

in the Hereford Association and he and 

Mom loved their Hereford cows and 

were very successful breeders. The two 

were devout Democrats and Yankee 

fans. 

But, above all, he was a father, a 

grandfather and a husband. Nothing 

was more important to him than 

his family. He was the colonel of his 

own little Army. He led us into battle 

to gather cows, mounted on the best 

horses he could afford. We rode seven 

abreast and he would announce “Aroar 

Har” and we would spur our horses into 

action. 

He was the captain of our inner tubes 

as we floated down the Yellowstone 

River. He was the pilot of the pickup 

and trailer hauling all the horses to the 

Pederson Arena to team rope and barrel 

race against the neighbors. He was our 

guide on fishing trips up Bridger Creek 

with the “banny rooster” Duffey clan.

exercising them every morning. During 

the county fair, he would awaken us 

with overly enthusiastic commands, 

“4-Hers, 4-Hers, it’s time to get up. 

There’s daylight on the swamp!” We 

were always the first to arrive to the 

barns, we even woke the chickens! 

He loved morning. Mom didn’t. He 

would be in the kitchen happily singing 

“Mockingbird Hill” while he fashioned 

huge pancakes for each child. A horse, 

a sheep, if he couldn’t come up with 

a symbol, the child’s name became a 

pancake. 

He was the foreman and head 

mechanic of the haying crew. He 

expected us to be out early and work 

hard, but we were greatly rewarded. 

We all eagerly watched the road in 

midafternoon for his pickup to stop the 

swather, the baler, the buckrake, the 

rake and the stacking crew. He woud 

load all five children to take a dip in 

the river. He spent a good portion of 

his days repairing broken equipment, 

fueling tractors and redirecting the 

crew. 

He was tough with his discipline but 

he was soft. Majority generally ruled 

and there were five of us that could 

vote him into almost anything. If we 

wanted something bad enough and 

worked as hard as we could to achieve 

it, he would do whatever was humanly 

possible to help us reach our goals. It 

didn’t always happen, but we knew he 

gave it his best shot. 

He was an innovative creator. He 

built gorgeous furnishings for our 

homes from wood and steel. He was a 

wishful gold miner. Hundreds of little 

trails led to failed “digs” from which 

he extracted worthless rock, melted 

down in front of his eager family while 

he fueled our imaginations with old 

mining stories. Several family trips 

involved panning for gold on old abandoned 

mining claims. 

Every family trip was a history 

lesson. He had a passion for books, 

especially Louis Lamour and old 

history books. He was an extremely 

discriminate reader and would quit a 

book midstream if he discovered an 

historical error. He absorbed the history 

and related it to us as we traveled. 

Mom and Dad loved to travel the 

southwest and the Four Corners were 

a favorite. They loved to experience 

the culture of the areas they toured 

and we were constantly stopping at 

roadside signs and visiting local museums. 

Yellowstone Park was a family 

favorite. Rarely a year went by without 

at least one trip through the park. 

He had an enthusiasm for adventure 

that always involved his family. His 

greatest fault was that he loved too 

deeply. He died of a broken heart when 

he lost Mom. He is at peace now, and 

we must be too. He has rejoined her 

and the new adventures shall begin.

Hanson’s 

Douglas Browning Schohr 

Full of years and loving family, 

Douglas Browning Schohr, 83, of 

Gridley, CA, entered into eternal rest 

on Friday, December 7, 2012. 

Doug, the son of farming pioneers, 

Mr. and Mrs. Max Paul and Elna 

(Browning) Schohr, was born in Woodland, 

CA, on June 19, 1929. 

Growing up, Doug attended grammar 

school at Grand Island (Grimes), 

CA, followed by Catholic school in 

Colusa, CA. Begrudgingly, Doug 

attended the Tamalpias School for 

Boys in San Rafael, CA, where he 

graduated in 1948. Doug attended the 

University of California, Davis where 

he studied Agriculture. 

Doug fell for the love of his life, 

Alma “Jean” Bachels, after a bear 

hunting trip to Plumas County was 

canceled, requiring an overnight stay 

at the McKenzie Guest Ranch. Jean, 

together with her family, owned and 

operated the guest ranch which was

located near Graeagle, CA. The pair 

had met once previously in 1945, but 

rekindled love took hold in 1949. Jean 

says he still ended up with a bear, and 

the two were married on January 20, 

1951. Doug and Jean “strolled the lane 

together, laughed in the rain together, 

and both knew then that it would never 

end.” They celebrated their love over 

61 years of marriage. 

Doug was drafted into the United 

States Army on November 24, 1950, 

entering service in Sacramento, CA. 

His duties took him to Fort Ord in 

Monterey, CA and then into combat in 

Korea, where he was awarded with the 

Korean Service Medal for his duties in 

the 6th Infantry Division. 

Upon his discharge from the Army 

on August 25, 1952, Doug returned 

home to Gridley to continue with family 

farming alongside his mother Elna 

at the Schohr Ranch west of Gridley. 

Crops grown at the ranch over the years 

included: wheat, corn, milo, safflower, 

wild rice, with the largest crop now 

being medium grain rice. Livestock 

raised at the ranch include: Quarter 

Horses, commercial beef cattle, as well 

as registered Hereford cattle. 

In 2011, Doug, his family, and the 

Schohr Ranch were inducted into the 

California Agricultural Heritage Club, 

and recognized for their legacy of 150 

years of continuous family farming in 

California. That same year, Doug was 

pleased to celebrate the farm’s 100th 

rice crop; his Grandfather, J.W. Browning, 

being the first to commercially 

plant the crop in the region. 

Hobbies included duck, goose, 

pheasant, and deer hunting over the 

years. He enjoyed square dancing in 

the Gridley club with many friends and 

enjoyed spending time in the mountains 

of Northern California. In later years, 

his most cherished travels and memories 

were spent with his 7 grandchildren 

and 3 great-grandchildren traveling and 

participating in their activities. His 

most favorite trip of all, was taking 

grandchildren to Disneyland once they 

learned to spell (or memorize) “Mickey 

Mouse.” 

Doug was a member and supporter of 

the Ben Ali Shrine of Sacramento, and 

the Gridley Moose Lodge. He was a 

3rd Degree Master Mason of Gridley’s 

North Butte Lodge #230, the Gridley 

Little League, a member of the Gridley 

Roping Club, a member of the California 

Butte County Farm Bureau, the 

California Cattlemen’s Association, 

and the American Hereford Association. 

His legacy continues to live on 

through his family. His wife and family 

matriarch, Jean, continues on at the 

ranch west of Gridley. Doug and Jean’s 

son Carl and his wife Susan (Orme) 

of Gridley; son Jim, of Gridley; and 

son Bill and his wife Lisa (Butler), of 

Gridley. Grandchildren include Ryan

SHR Rancher 117 

This is a good stout Rancher bull with great 

milk and marbling behind him. He is out of a 

cow family which has raised us good heifers 

and bulls in the past. This bull is loaded with 

muscling and eye appeal. He will make an 

excellent addition to any crossbred or pure 

bred operation. 

SHR Mr Mom 135 

This is one of our AI calves. He is a deep 

bodied Mister Mom son who has great length 

and gaining ability. He also has milk behind 

him. This bull is thick through his loin, wide 

through his pins, and his half sister is a Dam 

of Distinction. 

SH Domino 102 

This is a solid marked calving ease bull with 

great eye appeal. He has milking ability and 

marbling in his EPD’s. This bull is a true example 

of what a Herefords disposition is. 

SH North Star 104 

A good stout North Star son with fleshing 

ability and solid markings. This bull has calving 

ease and milk behind him. 

*Last year’s cost difference in North Dakota between a 2 year

10 to 15 more cows for you during breeding season. 

*Our 2 year old bulls are culled for quality control more so than 

a yearling bull can be.

In Memory... 


Si West 

Sylvester E. West better known as 

“Si” was called home on Dec. 5, 2012, 

at the age of 91. He was residing at the 

Niobrara Life and Health Center in 

Lusk, WY, at the time of his death. 

He was born, April 7, 1921 in Fort 

Collins, CO, to Floyd S. and Alice 

(Reese) West. When he was three years 

old the family moved to Laramie, WY, 

where he was raised and graduated 

from Laramie High School in 1938. He 

attended the University of Wyoming 

and graduated with a degree in Animal 

Production. He was a member of the 

University’s Livestock judging teams 

his junior and senior years. He was a 

member of the Sigma Alpha Fraternity. 

Following graduation in 1942, he 

enlisted in the United States Marine 

Corps and reported to Officers Candidate 

School in Quantico, VA. He was 

commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant. He 

was stationed in Hawaii and was honorably 

discharged in March of 1945 as a 

1st Lieutenant. 

On Jan. 16, 1943, he married, Rosamond 

M. Logsdon of Laramie, WY, in 

Quantico, VA. After his discharge from 

the United States Marine Corps, Si and 

Rosamond moved to Lander, WY, and 

6 months later to Lusk, WY, where he 

worked for the University of Wyoming 

extension office as Niobrara’s County 

Extension agent for 32 years. As an 

extension agent he took great pride 

in his 4-H club programs especially 

his livestock judging teams. Even 

after retirement he supported the 4-H 

program. His work of raising Hereford 

cattle under the name of S.E. West & 

Sons, before and after his retirement, 

filled his life until his death. 

Si was a dedicated family man. He 

and his wife of 57 years were blessed 

with four children, five grandchildren, 

five step-grandchildren, four greatgrandchildren, 

and eight step-greatgrandchildren. 

Survivors include two 

sons and their wives, Gary of Casper 

and Brett of Lusk; and daughter, Tamra 

Jensen and her husband of Lusk. 

He was preceded in death by his 

parents; three brothers; one sister; one 

son, Thomas Floyd; and one infant 

granddaughter. 

In lieu of flowers the family has 

requested memorials to be made to the 

Si and Rosamond West 4-H Scholarship 

Fund or charity of the donor’s 

choice.

and darn sure taught them how to work, 

where their food came from, along with 

how and why. 

Today the ranch is primarily run by 

Eddy’s son Matt, his wife Krista, and 

their kids Ethan (13) and Leah (8). It is 

comprised of registered and commercial 

Horned and Polled Hereford cattle, 

with some additional commercial Red 

Angus based cattle mixed in. 

Doing things different continues to 

work well for the family. Included in 

the scope of their operation is a custom 

heifer backgrounding program, 

dryland farming, including putting up 

sweet clover silage, and Eddy’s meat 

business. Additional help comes from 

longtime hired hand Wes, South Africa 

native Madri, and from Matt’s siblings, 

nieces and nephews during busy times 

of year. 

“We’re into the fifth generation on 

this place, and that entire time it has 

been Hereford cattle. We’ve had our 

ups and downs over time, but for the 

most part they’ve been rewarding. Even 

when Herefords were not very popular 

we snickered a little to ourselves because 

of how well they treated us each 

year. We’ve always been able to market 

them,” noted Eddy, adding that today 

he also enjoys the breed for 

their disposition, which has enabled 

his kids and grandkids to 

work and grow with the cattle. 

The Beery’s continued success 

is due in part to not following 

breed trends, and sticking 

with cattle that work in their 

unique environment, which 

receives around 12 inches of 

precipitation annually. From 

marketing registered Horned 

and Polled Hereford bulls, replacement 

heifers and commercial 

calves, and even selling a 

percentage of cattle each year as packaged 

meat, the Beery’s focus on qual-

ity cattle, added value; and customer 

relations continues to pay off. 

Selection for quality starts early, with 

an emphasis on the traits that originally 

made Herefords so popular and profitable, 

including longevity, fleshing ability, 

do-ability, mothering ability, frame 

size and birth weight. Any bull marketed 

must be born of a cow possessing 

those traits, who also calved unassisted 

as a first calf heifer, and who has maintained 

a clean, problem free udder. 

“The next step is that bull calf must 

have a decent birth weight, which isn’t 

to say he had to weight 65 to 75 pounds.

Beery... 


I’m not afraid to keep a 90 to 95 pound 

birth weight calf if he’s a good one that 

was shaped well and calved without issue,” 

explained Matt. 

Another cut is taken on the bulls at 

weaning time, with any low indexing 

individuals being eliminated. An additional 

whack is taken based on yearling 

weights, scrotal measurements and fertility-based 

selection traits following 

weaning. 

“We look at the whole picture, and 

think about the long-term market share 

a bull, and his daughters, will have on 

the guy that buys him. I always say, 

‘Why try to sell to someone else what 

I wouldn’t use myself?’ Our customers 

don’t just buy from us because we 

have Hereford bulls. They buy because 

our bulls come out of a program that is 

designed to work in the commercial industry. 

They have to work for us before 

they get the chance to work for anyone 

else,” stated Matt. 

Today, marketing is done private 

treaty on the ranch, and Eddy noted 

with a chuckle that Matt must have sold 

100 bulls last year on his cell phone. 

However, it hasn’t always been that 

way for the Beerys. 

“When we first started the registered 

side, it was in the days of the old consignment 

sales, and that’s how we sold 

bulls. At one time there were seven 

or eight of them in Montana, and you

could take anything you needed to 

market. Then somebody started having 

their own production sale, and pretty 

soon we joined that parade,” explained 

Eddy of the operation’s marketing history. 

For their first production sale in the 

early 1960’s, Beerys had a newspaper 

man with the Billings Gazette come 

out to take a picture of a bull, with no 

idea what impact he would have on the 

event. 

“His name was Harry Downs, and ol’ 

Harry put us in the paper right before 

the sale. It ended up being a runaway 

barn burner, and he did that. I had no 

idea it was going to be that successful,” 

noted Eddy.

Over the years, the successful production

noticed they were losing contact with 

their customers, and no longer knew if 

they were meeting their needs or not. 

“Instead of visiting with our customers, 

they would just show up at the sale

and say hello. Then it got to the point 

where half of our customers would just 

call us to buy a bull for them, or call a 

couple days after the sale to see if we 

had any bulls left, then have us pick 

one for them. After a while we got to 

thinking about the whole nine yards of 

putting on a sale combined with the fact 

that we had lost personal contact with 

our customers, and we just dropped it,” 

noted Eddy. 

Additional changes were made to 

the Hereford side of the ranch in 1994, 

Eye pigment is one of many selection traits important to the 

Beerys. 

when Matt introduced the first polled 

cattle into the herd. While they comprise 

a smaller percentage of the total 

herd than their horned counterparts, 

Matt maintains the same strict list of 

criteria when selecting and raising 

Polled cattle were introduced to the 

herd in 1994. 

them, and continues to work 

on improving their productivity 

and functionality in his location, 

and the locations of his 

customers. 

The operation has adapted 

and survived the changes well, 

and at present bulls are priced 

based on phenotype, cow 

family and individual performance. 

Matt said he continues to enjoy 

and see the value in visiting with each 

customer, be them longtime friends, or 

potential first time buyers. 

“I also enjoy those phone calls from 

people saying their grandpa or dad 

bought our bulls 20 years ago, and 

their cowherd is black enough that they 

want to get back to using our Herefords 

again. That speaks pretty loud to me on 

our program. 

“But, so does that group of guys out 

there that think of Herefords as bad 

mothers, or for their sunburned bags 

and prolapses. We’re at a good point in 

our breed with its increased popularity, 

and we have to continue to work hard 

to not give those people any firepower. 

We have to continue doing a better and 

better job as breeders to maintain the 

Herefords viability to the commercial 

producer,” commented Matt. 

Matt added that he plans to keep on 

thinking outside the box to maintain 

and improve his herd, and isn’t slacking 

up his selection criteria at all as 

a result of the increased demand for 

Here ford bulls. 

Eddy added, “We raised five kids 

here, my folks raised five of us kids 

here, we all went through the 4-H 

process and the registered cattle side. 

I think we all turned out to be pretty 

good, responsible citizens, and we 

learned a lot. It’s been awful rewarding. 

Our kids seemed to enjoy it, and 

Matt does an awesome job and keeps it 

all straight today. We just like the Hereford 

cattle business, and raising the 

kind of cattle you can use.”

Goggins Book Now 

Available to Pre-Order 

from Western Ag Reporter 

In November 2011, Patrick K. Goggins 

was inducted into the prestigious 

Saddle and Sirloin Portrait Gallery in 

Louisville, Kentucky, and his portrait 

hung alongside approximately 350 

other portraits paying homage to the 

greatest leaders to impact the livestock 

industry since the mid-1700s. 

Pat is a bit of an anomaly because 

during his life he has been one of the 

West’s best known purebred auctioneers, 

the owner of three Montana auction 

yards, a well-known rancher with 

several large Montana ranches, an 

Angus seed stock producer of merit, 

and the publisher of several well-read 

weekly ag newspapers in which, as 

the spokesman for America’s cow-calf 

producers and independent feeders, he 

has written more than 5,000 weekly 

columns. Filled with numerous photographs 

and newspaper clippings reflecting 

Pat’s full and productive life 

over eight decades, the 500-page hardbound 

book has been assembled painstakingly 

by Pat’s editor Linda Grosskopf. 

Available early in 2013, the book 

is being presold for $50 postpaid.

1918—2013 

3/19/12 

61Z was our pick of the herd bull prospects at Anchor Polled 

Anchor 61Z 

Herefords, owned by Paul & Berva Hinderager. 61Z combines 

the birth weight we were looking for at 84 pounds and the BW 

EPD of +2.7 that is critical in our modern day sires. 61Z weaned off a 12 year old cow at 810 pounds, with no creep feed for either he or his mother, 

in one of Montana’s toughest drought years. His full 2012 EPDs show projected ribeye of +0.34 and +0.10 on marbling, which ranks him in the 25 

percentile in the breed. The mother of 61Z, Anchor 8N, has through her 10th year of age been a never miss calver. Having her first calf at two years 

old and then having 8 consecutive calves before it was her time to leave the herd. As you will note, she is the daughter of Anchor Braxton who is a 5 

trait leader in the industry. 8N was a solid marked, fully pigmented cow with an extremely nice udder and very fertile, as I have eluded to. She 

weighed 1600 pounds in her prime and has 7 calves retained in the Anchor herd. Many cattle in the Anchor herd are descendants of, or closely 

related to, 8N.

bull with a tremendous amount of pigment and he looks like a promising 

prospect. We will have the first calves by him in a few months and we are looking forward to seeing them. Goggle Time is the son of About Time 

who was a recent Denver Champion, who has proven himself to be an outstanding sire. Note Goggle’s great EPDs and that he is near the top of 

the breed with a leaner fat cover and yet his REA and Marbling rank him in the top 20 percent of the breed, which indicates we should have some 

great carcass characteristics in Goggle’s offspring.

High Accuracy Bulls Sought, 

Cost-Share Option Available 

During the American Hereford 

Association (AHA) Board meeting 

the Board discussed its continued 

commitment to DNA testing more 

high accuracy sires. Hereford breeders 

who have a bull that does not 

have a genomic-enhanced expected 

progeny difference (GE-EPD), has 

a weaning weight accuracy of better 

than .50 and was born in 2001 or 

after, can contact Toni Shapiro at the 

AHA office, and the AHA will pay 

$40 of the total to have the bull DNA 

tested. 

A list of high-use Hereford sires 

that the Association would like tested 

has been generated. To see if a bull 

you own is on that list, contact Jack 

Ward, AHA chief operating officer 

and director of breed improvement, 

at jward@hereford.org or at

Letters to the Editor... 

Hello Jill, 

Our daughter won Grand Champion 

4-H Market Steer on July 5th, 2012 

with a 1340 # purebred Hereford steer 

from Tom and Donna Wolf’s commercial 

Hereford herd in Hulett, WY. 

Our Trumbull County Fair is in 

northeast Ohio, just 30 minutes south 

of Lake Erie. It was quite an accomplishment 

for 13 year old Chloe.There 

were 37 steers in the all breed show 

this year. The last time a Hereford won 

Champion over all in our county Junior 

Fair was in 1964. The previous two 

years, she stood 3rd overall behind the 

Champions with Hereford steers from 

the exact same cow at the Wolf Ranch. 

We are very proud of Chloe’s accomplishment 

and would like to give 

recognition to Tom and Donna Wolf 

for the great herd of Herefords they 

have. In August, our family made our 

first visit to the ranch. We experienced 

some great Wyoming hospitality and 

reviewed calves for next year’s 4-H 

project. I thought perhaps this might be 

a news worthy item for publication. 

Thank You, 

Jeff, Deb, and 

Chloe Williams 

Kinsman, Ohio 

Congratulations Chloe! 

Hereford America: 

Hereford Advocate! Love your 

publication.

*** 

Hereford America: 

I read Byron’s comments on the 

AHA new 2014 rule that all National 

Junior shows would have to be a product 

of a registered Hereford cow and 

a registered Hereford bull and the cow 

would have to be blood typed before 

the steer could be shown. 

I have a message for the AHA board. 

If you think those show steers’ mothers 

have to be blood typed then the registered 

bull breeders should be willing to 

blood type all of their registered mothers.

The Irvin and Lois Klein family generously gave a $500 grant towards the 

purchase of a Hereford heifer at the North Star Classic Hereford sale. Irvin 

and Lois’s grandson Cody has a herd of Herefords he has built and his 

grandparents had always taken a special interest in his Herefords, so with 

the passing of Irvin and Lois, their family offers a memorial grant for as 

long as they see fi t. The requirements of the recipient is to purchase a 

heifer calf at the North Star Classic Sale, show it at their county fair and at 

least one state event.

I would like to see a show of hands 

to see how many registered breeders on 

the AHA board would vote for that. 

Leo Kocer 

South Dakota 

Hereford Breeder 

Editor’s Note: I was recently told by an AHA 

director that, on this subject, cows would not 

have to be blood typed before a steer could 

be shown in a national show, contrary to 

what we reported last month. Leo still has a 

good idea though! — JBH

Dear Marc and Jill, 

Enclosed are two photos of some of 

the Roen Bros. Hereford cattle. I have 

been going through some old files and 

thought these might be of interest to 

you for your Great Hereford America 

publication. These great cattle are 

history now because of no estate planning 

when Henry Roen died in 1970. 

For many years this herd of Herefords 

was highly thought of as the “Rancher’s 

Kind.” After the partnership was 

dissolved, the partners did try to carry 

on individually on their own, hence the 

photo of Chriss’s 1981 carload shown 

in Denver. 

The pasture scene of the cattle was 

taken in the late 1960s and was on 

the cover of the Hereford Journal. Of 

course this is just a small portion of the 

entire herd. One thing to note here is 

the cow with the black spot beneath her 

tummy. When Walter Graham, owner

Dear Marc, 

Thought I’d include some information 

and photos for your paper from 

down here. We are very proud of our 

young people in FFA. The Winfield 

FFA Champter was one of the 12 “Charter 

Chapters” in Kansas. My father, O. 

Boyd Waite, was the first state FFA 

president in Kansas, the first (one of 

three) National FFA vice president and 

the first American Farmer Degree in 

Kansas. They achieved national recognition 

as being the top 3% chapter in 

America. 

Earlier this year after one of our 

Winfield FFA Alumni meetings, I was 

visiting with Chad Epler, ag advisor, 

about a new community service project 

for the members of the Winfield FFA. 

It had some new steel corral panels 

that needed painting. The project included 

100 feet of continuous steel square 

tubing panels with pipe posts and a 100 

foot top pipe. A 100 foot long “bumper” 

pipe located 30 inches above the ground 

opposite the panels. The project also 

included 3 heavy duty steel gates, all to 

be painted white. 

I provided the paint, paint brushes, 

paint mitts and a pizza dinner with chips 

for a donation to go toward their leadership 

training course. 

The Windfield FFA members and 

officers would provide the “painting 

power.” This energetic group of 

boys and girls included Casie Homan, 

Shaily Harshbarger, Sam Solomen, 

Bonnie Wakefield, Dylan Bowman, 

Colby Kromminga, Mrina Bevilaquar 

and Rebekah Branch plus their advisor 

Chad Epler. 

What a super group of young people 

to work with. They came to participate 

and work they did. With their positive 

attitudes and having fun working 

together they pined right along. They 

wanted me satisfied, as time and again 

they asked if they could do it better. 

The before and after photos were very 

revealing. It sure looks better now. Our 

sincere thanks for a job well done. 

Dwaine Waite 

Winfield, Kansas 





Letters... 


Jill, 

Enclosed are pictured I took at our 

annual meeting and feeder calf sale on 

November 13th and 14th. John Woolfolk 

spoke at our dinner meeting. He 

spoke about the beginnings of the 

Hereford feeder calf sale in Tennessee 

and how is has spread across the country 

with much success and about the 

importance of bringing in large groups 

of quality Hereford feeder calves to a 

central location. Having a cooperative 

auction barn such as we have at Three 

Forks means a lot towards the success 

of the sale. 

The sale itself was a big success 

with 1100 head consigned, grossing 

$868,175. Consignments were down 

slightly from last year due to the dry 

conditions causing ranchers shipping 

their calves early due to lack of feed. 

However, prices as in the past, matched 

or in most cases exceeded prices paid 

for black hided calves during the same 

time period in Montana. 

Thanks for the support Hereford 

America has given our sale. 

Sincerely, 

Jerry Gereghty 

Cherry Springs Ranch, 

Bridger, MT

Roger and Patrick Morgan have 

a long history with Herefords and 

the Nebraska Hereford Association. 

They have been to every state junior 

Hereford show since they were born. 

When they were 3, they began showing 

their sister’s heifer as a team in 

peewee showmanship. This was fun 

until one show they got into an argument 

and Art Handel had to step in and 

referee. They were each given a senior 

heifer calf when they were old enough 

to show, and they exhibited them at the 

state junior show and then took them 

all the way to California for the Expo – 

an experience that no one in the family 

will forget. They have built their cowherd 

from that base, plus purchasing 

futurity heifers almost every year they 

were showing. They exhibited in the 

Nebraska junior shows and the Junior 

National Shows from 1995 until 2009. 

They also successfully exhibited in 

These bulls sell Feb 21st! 

State Fair and Ak-Sar-Ben, having 

the Champion Hereford Heifer every 

year at the state fair during their show 

career. They were very active in the 

Junior Hereford Associations with Pat 

serving twice as the Nebraska President 

and Roger serving as a national 

director and in 2010 National President. 

They both have received the 

John Wayne Scholarship, the Golden 

Bull Achievement award and were 

nominated as national herdsman of 

the year for the National Junior Hereford 

Association. They also both have 

received their FFA American Farmer 

degree. 

Currently Roger and Patrick are 

active in the Nebraska 


Association. Pat 

is on the board 

of directors and 

Roger served on 

the JNHE executive 

committee. 

They are annual 

consignors to the 

Cornhusker Classic 

sale and have 

consigned to the 

Cattlemen’s Classic, 

having shown 

the Reserve 

Champion Polled 

bull in 2011 and 

a division champion 

in 2012. The 

have also been 

exhibitors at the 

National Western 

Stock Show, helping 

with the ranch 

pen of feeder 

steers for many 

years, and recently 

taking pens of 

their own heifers. 

They exhibited 

the champion pen 

of heifers in 2010. 

Roger and Patrick 

love their 

Herefords and 

look forward to 

a bright future 

with them. They 

recently formed 

Morgan Cattle 

Partners LLC 

with their brother 

John and sister 

Carrie. The base 

for this is the purchase 

of the Ervin 

Maahs herd this 

year. 

Currently Roger 

is a livestock 

nutritionist and an area representative 

for Peetz Feeds and VitaFerm minerals 

and lives in Atkinson. Patrick, his 

wife Jessica and daughter Claira live 

on the Morgan Ranch in Loup County. 

Pat works on the ranch and he also 

is a part time teacher, teaching Ag and 

is the FFA Sponsor for Loup County 

High School. 




Art Linton presented the NHA Young Promoters 

Award to Roger and Patrick Morgan. 

Wilson Hereford Ranch was presented the Commercial 

Breeder of the Year award by NHA. 

Nebraska Hereford Association 2012 Commercial Breeder 

The Wilson Hereford Ranch is located 

in Webster County which includes 

2000 acres of pasture and farm ground. 

It is owned and operated by Robert and 

Diana Wilson and his mother Bonnie 

Wilson. Rob is the 4th generation on 

the ranch; his grandfather, Con Wilson, 

bought the first registered Hereford cattle 

in 1922, beginning with only four 

bred heifers and a bull. Rob’s father, 

Johnny, started operating the ranch after 

WWII and sold Hereford seed stock 

for years. Rob came back to the ranch 

in 1973 and now runs a commercial/ 

registered horned Hereford cow/calf 

and yearling operation of around 190 

head. His heifers are sold by Art Handel 

Livestock Services all around the 

country and he markets his steers at local 

sale barns. 

Rob has purchased bulls and heifers 

from many ranches. His first purchase 

was 10 head of cows from neighbor 

and family friend, John D. Harvey 

in 1980. Bulls have been purchased 

from Upstream, Spencers, Mill Creek, 

Boner Herefords, Jamisons, Eulerts, 

and B&D Herefords only to name a 

few. But Rob’s favorite bull is one he 

raised, called RW 501, and the lineage 

was from CL 501 and BP 34X Master 

Piece. One of Rob’s favorite shows and 

sales is the Nebraska Cattlemen’s Classic 

in Kearney. He has purchased grand 

champion bulls and heifers, some of 

the most recent in 2010 Champion 

Horned Hereford Bull TVF Mister Universe 

0801, and the 2011 high-selling 

Polled Hereford Heifer, Vickie 163X 

ET, which his granddaughter Makayla 

showed at the Webster County fair receiving 

Grand Champion. Rob has also 

AI’d since the late ’70s in which he 

has used semen from Cooper, Holden, 

Upstream, Mill Creek and Spencer 

Ranches. 

Rob is an active member in the 

community being a part of many different 

boards throughout the years. He 

has been a part of the Webster County 

Fair board for 22 years and sponsors 

the Champion British Breeding Heifer 

Trophy each year. He has also been a 

4-H leader for more than 30 years and 

sells club calves to local youths. Rob’s 

daughters Laci and Amber started 

showing in the early ’90s. In 1993 the 

family traveled to North Platte to futurity 

sale. The girls continued to show 

dad’s Herefords at the Webster County 

Fair receiving many grand champion 

steers and heifers over the years. Rob 

and Diana’s granddaughters Makayla 

and Morgan have also started showing 

as well, and grandsons Lee and Jacob 

will hopefully soon follow. 

Rob and his wife, Diana, along with 

their children and grandchildren continue 

the family’s longstanding tradition 

of raising quality Horned Hereford 

cattle. It is a tradition to take hay out 

to the cattle when friends and family 

come to visit, so if you’re in the neighborhood 

stop by, they love visits to the 

ranch. 

Rob enjoys and appreciates the help 

and support from his wife, Diana and 

his kids, Scott and Laci Dinkler and 

Wade and Amber Gibson.

Maahs Chosen As NHA Heritage Breeder for 2012 

Ervin Maahs was selected as the 

2012 Heritage Breeder. The following 

testimonial was written by his daughter: 

Dad was already a member of the 

Nebraska Hereford Association in 

1964 when I came into the picture. He 

was very active in the association for 

as long as I can remember and Herefords 

and the NHA were always a big 

part of his life. 

He regularly attended and sold bulls 

at many of the annual sales: the Southeast 

Nebraska Hereford sale in Syracuse 

was an annual event for us. He always 

had bulls ready for that sale and 

as I remember, he always did pretty 

well at those sales. He also was a regular 

at the Bassett sale and as Ronnie 

Morgan recalls, he was one of group 

that always went to Bassett a couple 

days early for “acclimation” purposes. 

Ronnie was chuckling quite a bit when 

he recalled those days. 

I remember hearing about the Old 

Reliable sale but that was a long time 

ago and I can’t tell you for sure if he 

sold bulls or bought bulls or just went 

to meet up with Hereford people. Dad 

also put on his own sale for few years 

and there was always a good crowd 

and competitive bidding on his cattle. 

For as long as I can remember, he 

has gone to Denver for the National 

Western. He and the Gieraus and Roger 

Imig and several others met every 

year in Denver for the Hereford show. 

Denver is still an annual event for Dad

Esposito 7Z. 

Art Linton presented the award to Ervin Maahs. 

that he never misses. 

He was always a very active member 

of NHA. I’m sure he must have held 

every office at one time or another— 

maybe more than once. Ronnie Morgan 

recalled that whenever you needed 

a job done, if you asked Dad, the job 

got done. NHA was always a very important 

part of Dad’s life and he was 

always proud to tell people he was a 

member of the Nebraska Hereford Association. 

I haven’t said anything about Dad’s 

cattle. He has probably forgotten more 

than I will ever know and it would be an 

injustice for me to try to say much more 

than he has quietly gone about raising 

and improving his herd for more than 

50 years. That the Morgans have purchased 

his herd speaks volumes about 

what he was able to accomplish. 

One final word, Dad hasn’t used his 

brand for many years, but I remember 

him and Mom sitting at the kitchen 

table designing the Rollin’ M that 

would become his trademark on the 

big Maahs Herefords sign on our road. 

That brand will now continue on in the 

Morgan herd. Funny how things work 

out like that. 

McKay Selected 

As NHA Breeder 

of the Year 

No bulls will be sold prior to March 9, 2013. 

Bulls will be divided into three pens: good, better and best and priced 

accordingly. At McIver’s, our family enjoys private treaty bull sales and 

we will continue that tradition. However, too many of our local customers 

have asked us to make sure they get a chance to have first pick. So, we have 

decided to kick-off the spring bull sales with bull selection day. Our Hereford 

and Salers bulls will be available for viewing on March 9. We are offering a 

$50 discount if you pick up your bull on sale day. 

Hope to see you on March 9!

Seedstock Producer of the Year Commercial Producer of the Year Enthusiast of the Year 

Janet and Roy Cranston, Prairie City, SD 

Roy Cranston Herefords, Prairie City, SD was 

named South Dakota Hereford Association’s 2012 

Seedstock Producer of the Year at their recent 

awards banquet. Owned and operated by Roy and 

Janet Cranston, they will hold their 22nd annual sale 

in February. 

Roy began his lifelong passion for Herefords early 

with his first cow being a gift from his grandfather 

Nels Erland of Moorcroft, WY. Roy’s parents Gene 

and Wyoma Cranston of Upton, WY carried on the 

tradition and Roy worked as a young boy helping 

with their operation. Roy, along with his siblings, 

were active in 4-H and showed Herefords in the 

Weston County Fair. In later years his mother moved 

to Moorcroft, WY where Roy continued to help her 

with the operation and ran his own cows until 1984. 

Along with his cow herd Roy also owned and operated 

RC Paving, a concrete business specializing 

curb and gutter construction. 

In 1983 Roy married Janet Hitt and in 1984 moved 

their herd of 11 cows to the Harold Hitt place south 

of Gillette, WY. From that point on Roy and Janet’s 

herd was run separate from his mother’s and continued 

to grow with Line One and British breeding. 

Roy continued to sell bulls with his mother until 

1992. The 1st Annual bull sale was February 19th 

1992 at the Sturgis Livestock Exchange selling nine 

bulls. When the Sturgis barn closed the sale was 

moved to St. Onge Livestock. 

In 1998 Roy and Janet lost their lease in Gillette. 

At that time they purchased the CF Goodwin ranch 

south of Prairie City, SD and closed RC Paving to 

further pursue raising quality registered horned 

Here fords. 

The cow herd today consists of 140 cows. Bloodlines 

include Dakota, Gold Domino, Neon, Saga, 

and Caliber. They breed for length, depth, width, 

milk, disposition, and longevity with some cows still 

producing at 15 years of age. Roy and Janet have 

sold the ranch and are looking forward to retirement. 

February 15, 2013 will be their 22nd annual bull sale 

and complete dispersion. The offering will include 

50 two year old bulls, the entire cow herd along with 

the 2012 heifer calf crop and yearling bulls.

Pictured are Troy, Brent, Dayen and Neil Rasmussen. 

The South Dakota Hereford Association recently presented 

the Rasmussen family of Estelline, SD, with the 2012 Commercial 

Producer of the Year award. 

In 1960 Phil Rasmussen purchased the present farm 4 miles 

north and 2.25 miles east of Estelline South Dakota. Phil began 

using Hereford cows and the Rasmussens have continued to use 

Hereford influenced cattle in their operation ever since. 

In 1963 Neil Rasmussen began farming with his father and 

moved on the present farm in 1965. In 1974, Neil began to 

raise registered and commercial Hereford cows, which over 

time turned into a commercial cow operation. In 1994 Brent 

Rasmussen began to farm with Neil and in 2006 they started 

Rasmussen Feed Yards. It is a fully EPA approved facility with 

a capacity of 1000 head as of today. The yards goal is to purchase 

Hereford and Hereford influenced cattle due to efficiency 

in feeding, Docility, and the Certified Hereford Beef Premium. 

The feedlot has 400 yearlings and 600 calves on feed with 95% 

Hereford or Hereford influenced. Brent also farms 600 acres. 

Troy rents pastures from Neil and has 45 registered cows and 

25 black and black baldy cows used for recips. 

Today the operation consists of Neil and Lois Rasmussen (5 

children), Brent and Julie Rasmussen with their boys Dayne 

and Drew, and Troy and Shannon Rasmussen with their kids 

Tyler, Riley, and Shaedan. 

Linda McKay 


fords of Chester, NE. In 1978 she began showing in 4-H. Linda 

and her family (the Crays) were very successful at both the 

county and state levels with their cattle. Linda was a member 

of the NJPHA and AJPHA. Her first Junior National was in 

1981 at Hutchinson, KS. At that time there was an award given 

to competitors called the Chin Up Award. Joe Lewis attempted 

to give Linda a show stick as a Chin Up Award, she told him 

the one she was using was just fine, not knowing she was getting 

the Chin Up Award. Her dad was not pleased she had just 

turned down a show stick from Joe Lewis. The next time she 

came in the ring Joe didn’t give her a choice, she took it. 

In 1983 she was awarded the Champion Junior Showman at 

the Junior National in Reno, NV. Linda was very active in her 

junior association. She held several offices and was on the executive 

committee for the 1990 Junior National that was held in 

Lincoln. In 1987 she served as the NPHA queen. 

In 1993 she married Grant McKay and GLM Herefords was 

started. By 2002 the trips to Junior National were for their own 

children Bailey and Seth. GLM has hosted two Nebraska Hereford 

Association tour stops. They have consigned cattle to the 

American Royal, NCC and the Cornhusker Classic Futurity 

Sale. 

Linda has served on the Nebraska Poll-ette board as well as 

the newly formed Hereford Women of Nebraska board. In 2003

Andras Crowned National Hereford Queen 

Whitney Andras, Checotah, OK, was 

crowned the 2012-13 National Hereford 

Queen during the 2012 American 

Royal National Hereford Show in 

Kansas City, November 4. 

Whitney is a fifth-generation Hereford 

breeder on the Andras side and a 

fourth-generation Hereford breeder on 

the Ellis side. She comes from a family 

with a long history of Hereford dedication. 

With generations of Hereford involvement, 

it only seems natural for 

Whitney to represent the Hereford 

breed first as the Oklahoma Hereford 

Queen and now as the National Hereford 

Queen. 

Currently a freshman at Connors 

State College in Warner, Okla., Whitney 

is pursuing an associate’s degree in 

science and serving as a member of the 

freshman livestock judging team. 

After Connors, Whitney plans to 

transfer to either Texas Tech or Oklahoma 

State University, where she 

hopes to dual major in agricultural 

communications and agribusiness. 

At the American Royal Whitney was 

also presented the Whitehead/Rocking 

Chair Ranch Scholarship and the Gary 

Bishop Memorial Scholarship. 

Whitney competed against three 

other young women from across the 

U.S. for the title. The National Hereford 

Queen program is managed by 

the National Hereford Women. Queen 

candidates are evaluated on their involvement 

with and knowledge of the 

Hereford breed, behavior, attitude, appearance 

and interaction with producers, 

as well as their résumés and interviews. 

Judges look for a responsible, 

well-rounded young lady who is willing 

to spend an entire year traveling all

First runner-up honors went to 

MaKayla Rutt, Minden, NE; Bridget 

Beran, Claflin, KS, was named second 

runner-up, and the Miss Congeniality 

award was presented to Cara Cummings, 

Gilmer, TX. 

Although busy with college and 

judging, Whitney says she is extremely 

excited to begin her stint as the National 

Hereford Queen. 

“I want to be able to attend as many 

events as I can and be there for all of 

the juniors and breeders whether it be 

cattle related or not,” Whitney says. 

“I’m looking forward to being able 

to be an ambassador for the Hereford 

breed and travel across the country and 

visit all of my fellow breeders.” 

She also says she hopes to set an example 

for Hereford youth that she may 

cross paths with during her reign. 

“I want them to know that I’m a very 

down-to-earth person and that I will 

bend over backwards to help anyone in 

any possible way that I can,” she adds. 

“Being chosen as the National Hereford 

Queen is such a humbling experience. 

I am honored to represent the 

Hereford breed and the great tradition 

this role represents.”

Early History of Herefords in Maine 

Editor’s Note: The following is an article 

written by Clark Thompson who 

is researching early Herefords in the 

state of Maine. Some of his research 

has been conducted at Maine’s Fosler 

Library where he has been able to access 

the publication “Maine Farmer” 

which is on microfi lm there. Many of 

the early Herefords that ended up going 

West had roots in these early eastern 

cattle. 

By Clark P. Thompson 

The first full blood Hereford, a bull 

calf later named “Albany,” came to 

Maine in the summer of 1842. This 

calf was purchased by J.W. Hains of 

Hallowell from the New York herd 

of Corning and Sotham. The next full 

blood Herefords came in 1844 via the 

bark “John Carver” and its captain 

Phineas Pendleton, Jr. of Searsport. I 

mention these early importations because 

of their impact later on a young 

man, Hall C. Burleigh, then living on 

his parents’ farm in Fairfield.

Hall C. Burleigh was 

born December 13, 1826 

on his parents’ farm in 

Fairfield. According to 

A.H. Sanders, editor of 

“The Breeder’s Gazette” 

in Chicago, his father 

and two brothers moved 

to Mechanicsville, IA, in 

1852. (See Sander’s “The 

Story of the Herefords” 

Volume 1, 1914.) The 

young Burleigh carried 

on alone in Fairfield with 

some Shorthorn stock. 

He later obtained some Herefords 

that were descended from the bull, 

Kimroe, and cow, Kitty, imported by 

Captain Pendleton. He was so impressed 

with this breed that by the 

1860s he began importing full blood 

Herefords from the Quebec herd of 

M.H. Cochrane. In 1876 his show

American Centennial in Philadelphia

Anxiety — Bred by T.J. Cowardine, Herefordshire. Founder of 

the Anxiety family. From a drawing by Dewey in The History of 

Hereford Cattle. 

his death in 1895 he became an owner/ 

breeder of National prominence. 

After the Civil War there was a trotting 

horse boom in Maine. Many farmers 

engaged in the breeding of light 

harness horses or Standardbreds as 

they became known. However, Hall C. 

Burleigh believed horse breeding “as 

now practiced, is making us poorer as 

a state.” He set forth his thoughts on 

breeding horses in a letter to the “Maine 

Farmer” in 1875. He urged the farmers 

of Maine to “exchange one-fourth part 

of their horses for the same number 

of cows and one-fourth more for ten 

times their number of sheep, raise good 

oxen to take the place of horses.” His 

words fell on deaf ears. Not deterred, 

he formed a partnership with Maine’s 

granite king, J.R. Bodwell of Hallowell 

in 1879 to import cattle form England. 

His experiences with the Hereford 

breed led him to believe that there was 

an opportunity to sell them to farmers 

and ranchers in the West. His judgment 

proved correct, as over the next several 

years the firm of Burleigh and Bodwell 

imported some 1,000 head of cattle, 

mostly of the Hereford breed, for sale 

to the West. 

First Importation 

On December 20, 1879, the “Maine 

Farmer” published a short statement announcing 

that H.C. Burleigh had sailed 

for England. On January 17, 1880, an 

ad placed by J.R. Bodwell offered “for 

sale” his “thoroughbred Shorthorns” to 

make room for “imported Herefords.” 

An article on April 10 quoted from 

several agricultural journals. One, the 

“Farmer’s Chronicle,” printed in London 

stated that the selections of Mr. 

Burleigh were “the most important in 

point of numbers that have ever been 

made to cross the Atlantic from the 

herds of England.” 

These Herefords, along with some 

sheep, arrived in Portland, Maine, on 

April 16. The next day an article appeared 

in the “Maine Farmer” giving 

more details of this importation. Mr. 

Burleigh and two young Englishmen 

unloaded 57 animals from the steamship, 

Toronto, after a passage of 17 

days. The risks of passage were many 

as it was sometimes necessary to throw 

stock overboard to save the ship in 

stormy seas. 

Upon arrival the Herefords were 

shipped by rail to Bodwell’s farm near 

Hallowell where they remained in 

quarantine for three months. The editor 

noted that Mr. Burleigh had made 

“the personal acquaintance of some of 

the most eminent stock breeders of that 

country which may be of great advantage 

to him in the future.” The editor 

visited the herd and further noted that 

many visitors traveled long distances to 

see the herd. Quoting from the “Hereford 

Times,” a leading English journal, 

the editor gave the pedigree of each 

animal including the two heifers purchased 

from the herd of the Queen of 

England. Perhaps the most important 

animal imported was the bull “Anxiety 

2d” that was later sold to Gilman 

S. Burleigh in Iowa. According to A.H. 

Sanders, this bull was “a feature of the 

leading western shows” and a producer 

of other noted bulls of that time. 

Second Importation 

On March 17, 1881, the “Maine 

Farmer” reported the second importation 

of cattle by Burleigh and Bodwell. 

These cattle, including some of the Angus 

breed, landed at Portland, Maine 

and were taken to Bodwell’s farm (Pine 

Grove Farm) in Hallowell, not far from 

the Capitol at Augusta, Maine. 

This stock was shipped on the steamer 

“Toronto” from Liverpool. The 

“Maine Farmer” article further stated 

that of the 165 animals purchased by 

Mr. Burleigh in England 54 were Herefords, 

11 polled Angus cattle and 100 

Shropshire sheep. In a separate note the 

editor stated that “we are not aware that 

any (Angus) have as yet been brought 

into Maine.” In a longer article published 

on March 24, the editor gave a 

more detailed description of these animals. 

The editor stated “the polled Angus 

cattle are a novelty in this part of 

the country. They are all jet black, large 

and handsome. They were all bred in 

Scotland and have evidently had better 

quarters during the winter than the 

Here fords.” It was noted that “a Scotsman 

and an Englishman came over 

with Mr. Burleigh and will remain here 

during the summer.” 

Large numbers of persons visited 

these animals at Pine Grove Farm and 

were shown around by farm superintendent 

H.C. Austin. Earlier it was 

reported on January 6, 1881, that the 

farm’s silo was opened on December 

6 and that “the ensilage was in a good 

state of preservation.” Mr. Austin stated 

that the cattle were “eating it well and 

are doing finely.” He was feeding about 

one bushel per full grown animal. 

He further stated that “we took away 

just half their grain when we commenced 

to feed it and I think they are 

doing better on this feed than they did 

on the larger quantity of grain and hay 

three times a day.” 

In a later article the editor reported 

on his visit to the farm to see Mr. 

Bodwell’s silo. He noted that “about 65

tons of corn fodder was put into this 

silo last summer,” and that the cattle 

“thrive better than with the full feed of 

corn meal.” In this importation three 

young bulls by the Royal prize winner 

“Assurance” were purchased from the 

herd of Major Carlyon, of Tregrehan, 

Cornwall, England. The Angus cattle 

came from several herds including two 

heifers and two young bulls from the 

herd of Sir George Macpherson-Grant 

2nd Bart of Ballindalloch, Banffshire, 

Scotland. 

Later, in early August, the “Maine 

Farmer” reported that Mr. Burleigh was 

repairing some of the buildings on the 

old “Land Farm” in Vassalboro which 

was recently purchased by Burleigh 

and Bodwell. In an article published on

Thanks for attending 

the 

Go-Pher Sale 

Fair” at Lewiston, the editor stated the 

following: 

In the neat stock line, the exhibition 

that will be made by Messrs. Bodwell 

and Burleigh will be worth a trip from 

any section of the state, no matter how 

remote the point. Farmers should remember 

that the herd of Hereford was 

imported by Messrs. Bodwell and Burleigh 

from the best herds of England, 

including the Queen’s herd, and that 

each animal was selected by Mr. Burleigh 

after a thorough, personal inspection. 

Mr. Burleigh is conceded to be one 

of the best judges of Herefords in this 

country, and, as he was not limited in 

price when he made these selections, it 

is not saying too much to assert that the 

herd of Herefords he will exhibit at the 

State Fair cannot be excelled on this

continent. 

Messrs. Bodwell and Burleigh will 

also exhibit their herd of Angus cattle. 

These animals are hornless and this is 

the first herd of the kind in Maine. 

In early September a large part of the 

herd was exhibited at the New England 

Fair in Worcester, MA. Some of 

this Hereford stock was sold during the 

fair to a rancher in the Wyoming Territory 

who wanted “six bulls.” The results 

of the competition were published 

in the “Maine Farmer” on September 

29. For Hereford stock, Burleigh and 

Bodwell’s bull “Tregrehan” won the 

“sweepstakes.” They also won First 

Premium for young herd and Second 

Premium for old herd. Their bull 

“Anxiety 5721” won First Premium for 

2 years old. 

For polled Angus a special committee 

had to be appointed to vote on 

the granting of premiums as for other 

breeds. It was voted in the affirmative 

to award these premiums to Burleigh 

and Bodwell. It does not appear that 

any other Angus cattle were exhibited 

at this fair. In a short note published on 

September 22 it was stated that several

animals were sold by Burleigh and 

Bodwell during the fair including 

“six bulls for Wyoming Territory” 

though the breed type was not mentioned. 

Later, at the Maine State Fair in 

Lewiston the Burleigh and Bodwell 

partnership “exhibited all the Herefords 

on the ground, and received all 

the premiums offered for that class, 

and also for the Angus cattle.” (September 

15, 1881, Maine Farmer) The 

young Angus bulls exhibited were 

“Ballindalock” and “Lochiel.”
