Editors’ Comments 

This past week 

I visited the Terry 

herd at Whitehall, 

MT to view their 

calves, prior to 

shipment to the 

feedlot. These 

calves are destined 

to go to a Hereford 

Byron Bayers 

beef program. This is a beautiful 

set of calves and a group any 

breeder would be proud to sell. 

They have raised their weights over 

100# in about five years and the 

quality level keeps getting better. 

These folks keep trying to get 

individual data back on the 

carcasses but each year there is 

another excuse why the carcass 

data is not returned. It seems as 

though the packer doesn’t want the

Marc’s Comments 

This is the first 

issue we’ve had in 

December. In the 

past we’ve had 

many requests for 

a December issue 

and this year we 

decided to try it. I 

think you’ll like it Marc Hotchkiss 

— we do. Please let us know what 

you think because we’re already 

planning for next year. 

Speaking of next year it’s hard 

to believe 2005 is almost complete 

and 2006 is only a few days away. 

This has been a year of tremendous 

change. Ridgefield Farms started 

harvesting cattle in the upper 

Midwest this November. Boy, talk 

about boosting the morale of 

Hereford breeders and commercial 

people in the Dakotas and the rest

Ridgefield Farms moves headquarters, 

processing operations, moves forward 

By Jill Hotchkiss 

In what has been a roller-coaster ride of a year 

for our region’s Hereford branded beef company, 

Ridgefield Farms of South Dakota, it appears that 

the program is back on track and moving forward. 

On November 1, Ridgefield relocated the 

company headquarters from Huron, SD to 

Flandreau, SD. It was only a move of about 125 

miles in distance but miles more in community 

support and financial benefits. The Flandreau City 

Council voted to provide Ridgefield Farms with 

financial assistance essential to make the move to 

the new community and to activate a task force 

committed primarily to building the Ridgefield 

Farms’ fabrication facility. Ridgefield Farms 

continues to own its building site in Huron and 

continues to consider Huron in its long term plans 

for future production. 

“The city of Flandreau has given Ridgefield 

Farms a wonderful opportunity and they fully 

believe in the project. I applaud Flandreau for 

wanting to bring this project in and become a leader 

both in South Dakota and the beef industry 

nationwide,” said Arnie Van Berkel, Vice President 

of Sales and Cattle Procurement.

December 2005 HEREFORD AMERICA • 3 

commercial and registered, think about who have bred pigment into Hereford cattle 

Byron’s Editorial... sure changes from north to south and east don’t have much of a problem but if you 

(continued from page 1) to west. Where it is cold, the coat of hair ignore pigment, you can suffer. I think that 

producer to know what they are selling. I 

tell people that if the buyer comes back, 

your carcass data and the feeding ability 

of your calves is probably good. If they 

don’t come back to see you then you had 

better wonder if your cattle have a serious 

flaw. Most commercial producers are trying 

to use the breeding with good carcass 

qualities but so many other things enter 

into the decisions such as bull price, 

soundness, fertility, milk, temperament, and 

yet surprisingly enough, marking. 

Pigment is really getting to be a big deal 

selling a Hereford bull. Most commercial 

people demand it. Things breeders, 

really is important, yet in the warmer 

climates the cattle can have shorter hair 

that must shed off. 

We sold a bull to Zimbabwe some years 

ago and one of the things I had to assure 

the folks of was that the bull would shed 

off his long hair. How many of you have 

ever noticed that some Herefords carry a 

lot of hair year around? That is good for 

some, bad for others. Another interesting 

thing that changes is the marking. In the 

north country, where teat sunburn is a big 

winter-spring factor, a lot of pigment in 

cattle is really important. The breeders 

is why in the southern states pigment and 

marking are less important to the breeders. I 

could well be wrong on that point. 

I can remember when, if your cattle were 

not blond or yellow as they would say, a lot 

of people were not interested. It seems as 

though that day is probably long gone, as 

it should be. Did you ever think how much 

easier it would be to breed black cattle and 

not worry about the color and markings? 

How many of your decisions have to do 

with color and markings? Of course, I would 

have to ask on the Angus, where did the 

white underneath come from? I can

Located 2 miles west of Hoven 

on Hwy. 20 and 47 

remember about 25 years ago I was asked 

to judge the cattle at the Oregon State Fair. 

The Angus field man told me to “dump” 

any cattle with white underneath as it was 

a sign of other genetics. But today many 

of the Angus cattle I view have some white 

underneath. They do have that problem 

and select against it in the good herds. 

Who ever said being a purebred breeder 

is easy? I talked to an old friend of mine at 

the recent NILE show in Billings. Jim and 

his family run 1600 brood cows and they 

are now all Angus. Jim ran one of the top 

Hereford commercial herds in Montana in 

the ‘50s through the ‘90s. When his son 

came on to run the ranch he told his Dad, 

“We cannot continue to fight this sunburn 

problem and I think we must go to black 

bulls.” Jim said, “I hated to change but I 

could see his point.” They now run 80 

Angus bulls. Jim did say that no 

replacement heifer is kept with white on 

her bag or belly. 

You can see where a lot of our market 

went in the snow country. I tried to argue 

the pigment issue with Jim but that did 

not go too far. Another big commercial 

breeder who is in deep snow country 

always picks bulls with pigment and Bill 

claims that he has less bag trouble than a 

lot of Angus breeders in his high country. 

Bill claims that putting pigment in the 

Hereford is a matter of selection. Bill says 

that they have not bought a Hereford bull 

in the last 30 years without good pigment. 

It was good to hear that Ridgefield 

Farms has rolled their first carcasses off 

the line in the Midwest. This helps the 

entire Hereford industry move on. The 

more demand for Hereford beef, the better 

the pricing structure will be, and that will 

feed back to the bull market. It does not 

matter if the beef is Certified Hereford Beef 

or Premium Hereford Beef, it is good for 

our industry. Some of the bickering about 

one or the other by various factions totally 

disgusts me. We need to be one voice and 

that is Hereford. That goes for horned and 

polled too. 

This our first issue of Hereford America 

to be published in December. Because of 

demand we have added an additional 

issue. With the big Denver show coming 

in January, many people can advertise 

their product and potential buyers can 

view what is available that they may 

consider. It is interesting to me how many 

breeders are looking for a bull or semen, 

for the next year’s breeding season. Good 

luck! I am sure you can find him. 

Merry Christmas to all our American and 

Canadian friends, and to all our friends 

and readers throughout the twelve 

different countries of the world that read 

Hereford America, and all of us at 

Hereford America hope that year 2006 is 

good to you. We sincerely appreciate your 

support the past years.

Along with moving its headquarters, 

Ridgefield also shifted its beef 

production and fabrication from 

Washington Beef in Toppenish, WA to 

PM Beef Holdings in Windom, MN. On 

November 9 th the first group of Northern 

Plains cattle were processed at the PM 

Beef plant. This strategic move was 

made to connect Ridgefield’s investor 

base in South Dakota along with local 

cattle supply. This marks a total shift in 

Ridgefield’s production from 

Washington Beef in Toppenish, WA, 

where the company had been 

processing and fabricating cattle since 

early 2001. Washington Beef secured 

their cattle supply in the Northwest. 

“Ridgefield Farms’ activities are going 

to significantly improve the demand for 

Hereford and British cross baldy cattle,” 

said Brian Simon, Hereford breeder and 

chairman of the Ridgefield board. 

For beef producers in the Dakotas, 

Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Montana 

and Wyoming Ridgefield Farms’ move 

will have an immediate and positive 

affect on the local industry. Beginning 

with 500 head the first few weeks, 

Ridgefield plans to move up to full 

production over the next several weeks. 

“This plan will have tremendously 

positive effects on the Hereford 

industry,” said Simon. “To put this into 

perspective, if every bull sires 30 calves 

and 10 calves are kept as replacements 

and the other 20 get the PHB label on 

them there will have to be over 4,200 

head of bulls in the pasture every year 

to produce the offspring to satisy the 

consumer demand for PHB.” 

Ridgefield Farms Premium Hereford 

Beef is sold primarily to upscale 

restaurants, hotels, country clubs and 

food service vendors from across the 

United States, Puerto Rico and the 

Caribbean. The depth of flavor, 

succulent tenderness and consistent 

juiciness of Ridgefield Farms Premium 

Hereford Beef continues to impress 

chefs and connoisseurs around the 

world. The company’s customers 

include hotels and restaurants such as 

The Pierre Hotel in New York, the Ritz 

Carlton in Boston, Plump Jacks Cafe in 

San Francisco, Craft Steak in Las Vegas, 

The Inn at Castle Hill in Newport, 

Innisbrook C.C. in Tampa, Equinox in 

Washington DC, Al Forno in Providence, 

Emeril’s Tchoup Chop in Orlando and 

River Oaks Grill in Houston 

This high quality beef is the product 

of cattle where each animal is at least 

50% Hereford and always 100% British 

in breeding. Like the Certified Hereford 

Beef Program of the American Hereford 

Association, the Ridgefield Program is 

branded Hereford 

product lines in the 

United States. 

The Hereford breed 

has long been 

considered the 

premier breed in 

performance and 

genetic base. Early 

maturity and 

consistent production 

provides producers 

with the best potential 

and consumers with 

the best results. Breed integrity is central 

to the success of Ridgefield Farms in 

the Ridgefield Farms Premium Hereford 

Beef program. USDA and BQA 

Certification programs support the 

continued commitment of Ridgefield 

Farms to produce a 

guaranteed consistent 

quality in tenderness 

and taste. 

The exquisite eating 

characteristics of 

Hereford beef of years 

ago continue to this 

day and are 

recognized by top 

chefs nationwide, 

many of whom have 

now replaced prime 

beef on their menus 

with Ridgefield 

Farms’ Premium 

Hereford Beef (PHB). 

PHB was the winner of the Best 

Restaurant Beef award from the National 

Tasting Institute in 2003 as well as Craft 

Steak’s award of Best Beef in Las Vegas 

in 2004. It continues to be a superior 

beef product chosen by some of the 

nation’s premier chefs. 

“We continue to build a solid 

customer base because we know what 

consumers want and how to meet their 

demands,” said Arnie Van Berkel, “Due 

Garret Bischoff pictured with the Ridgefield Farms Premium 

Hereford Beef fabrication and packaging line at PM Beef in 

Windom, MN. 

to our size, Ridgefield Farms has to be 

a niche marketer to be successful. 

Ridgefield Farms is clearly on the right 

track with their trademarked Premium 

Hereford Beef program. Similarly, South

of the region! They see it as another 

marketing option available for Herefordinfluenced 

cattle that can be used by 

feedyards and commercial producers. 

Please call or e-mail us if you have any 

questions on this additional marketing 

opportunity. 

What’s in store for the next year? I 

think I can predict several changes. 

Increased pressure on the beef industry 

to source-identify cattle with the niche 

markets leading the way. Some people 

are hesitant about doing this but it is 

here to stay so let’s make the best of it 

and use it to our advantage. We should 

learn from history and one lesson to be 

learned is “people who take initiative 

reap the reward.” In our business we 

hear and see, and talk to a lot of 

consumers of our product, beef. 

They’re saying, demanding and willing 

to pay for a product that has an identity. 

What a great opportunity! Giving our 

consumers what they demand and in 

return we get paid more for identifying 

the better (and poorer) traits of our breed 

and improving our cattle and bottomline 

at the same time.

The South Dakota 

Hereford Association 

had a hugely 

successful weekend 

in November. They held their annual 

meeting, election of officers and then 

the annual banquet on Friday evening 

with about 125 people in attendance. A 

lot of times people come away from an 

event remembering and savoring things 

that happen that were not planned. So it 

was with our banquet. Each year at the 

end of our banquet we auction off pages 

for our SD Breeders directory. This year 

we had just sold the last page when it 

was brought to our attention that a hat 

had been found without an owner (Yeah, 

right...), and thus ensued a bidding war 

over who would get this hat. The owner 

of the hat, John Grassel, realized whose

made it all the more fun. “Friends of 

John Grassel” bought the hat, donated 

the proceedings to our John Leibel fund 

and returned the hat to it’s rightful 

owner. John Grassel then got up front 

and the best of Jay Leno couldn’t hold 

a candle to the next 15 minutes. John 

had the crowd showing all types of 

emotion from laughing till it hurt, tears 

of emotion and pride in breed and

from our seasoned breeders and hear 

their advice and wit!

How Can You Write It All Down — 

Bud Snidow: A Piece of American Hereford History 

By B. Lynn Gordon 

When visiting with Burman Cephas 

Snidow, better know as ‘Bud Snidow’, 

about his years in the livestock industry 

it’s almost impossible to archive it all 

into one story. For someone with a 

history like Snidow’s, having worked 

with thousands of people during his 32- 

year tenure as an employee of the 

American Hereford Association (AHA) 

and his 20-plus years of continued 

involvement in the beef industry after 

retirement, one is in awe of the details 

and stories he can tell. As Snidow says, 

“Once you reach 80 – you become a 

historian, naturally.” 

The spry 88-year-old hasn’t forgot a 

date, a bull, an acquaintance’s name or 

pinnacle moments in the livestock 

industry for the past 

60 years. Maybe, it’s 

because as he says 

and laughs, I’m a 

graduate of 

Princeton – well, 

Princeton, West 

Virginia high school 

that is. 

Snidow along 

with his seven 

brothers and sisters 

grew up in the times 

when cows were 

milked to feed the family, money was 

scarce and each child took their turn 

doing chores to help the family survive. 

Snidow always knew from his early days 

in 4-H showing sheep that he wanted to 

be in the livestock business. I sure 

would have liked to have showed a steer, 

but a good steer calf at that time cost 

$30 and a sheep project was only $15, 

he recalls. 

Marc’s Comments.... 


Just got an e-mail from a breeder 

in Iowa thanking Hereford America 

for being at the Clay County Fair 

at Spencer, IA. It’s activities and 

breeders like this that I really enjoy 

and make this “paper” business all 

worthwhile. 

Hereford America wishes all the 

best Christmas ever and during this 

time between Thanksgiving and 

Christmas, stop a moment and 

remember how this nation came 

to be. A nation of people wanting 

the freedom to live and worship 

freely and helping those that don’t 

have that freedom. Merry 

Christmas and Happy New Year! 

The spry 88-yearold 

hasn’t forgot a 

date, a bull, an 

acquaintance’s name 

or pinnacle moments 

in the livestock 

industry for the past 

60 years. 

He went on to receive a degree in 

animal husbandry from Virginia 

Polytechnic Institute (VPI), Blacksburg, 

VA. It was there he started to meet some 

of the influential people in the livestock 

industry. His livestock judging coach – 

Paul Swaffar – was a great mentor to 

Snidow and later was his boss at the 

AHA. 

After graduation from VPI, he 

accepted a position with the Virginia 

Breeder magazine, a large horse 

publication covering the eastern states. 

Snidow filled the role managing other 

livestock news and later became editor 

of the publication. His time at the 

publication was a very fond time. Not 

only did he learn about the livestock 

publication industry, he began to court 

Hilda Brown who 

later became his wife. 

In 2005, they 

celebrated their 54 th 

wedding anniversary. 

Staying in the 

eastern U.S., Snidow 

then became a field 

representative with 

the AHA. He covered 

North Carolina to 

Maine and started to 

learn the history and 

pedigrees of Hereford 

cattle. “At that time, gas was 19 cents a 

gallon and hotel room was $4.00 per 

night,” Snidow says. 

The Move to AHA Headquarters 

It was his move to Kansas City, 

which further broadened Snidow’s 

horizon in the purebred livestock 

business and especially that of registry 

systems. He joined the AHA staff at the 

headquarters in 1955 in charge of the 

AHA office. “In 

those days, we 

had about 120 

ladies working in 

the registry 

department, 

compiling 

pedigrees and 

handling all the 

paperwork 

manually,” he 

says. “Of course 

– we weren’t in 

the big computer 

age, yet.” 

Snidow’s 

duties at AHA 

meant overseeing 

the mailroom, 

bookkeeping, 

accounting and 

the pedigree 

registry. “I inherited the role as pedigree 

examiner.” And examine pedigrees he 

did. Bud spent hours and hours 

managing the pedigree system and in 

the time frame of 1959-1962, he 

examined pedigrees to make sure they 

were clean of any dwarf carriers. Bud 

examined as many as 52,000 pedigrees 

in a year. 

At one time, he also managed a field 

staff of ten along with his other duties. 

Snidow traveled to many of the major 

shows, including the regional merit 

events, Fort Worth Stock Show and 

National Western Stock Show. In 

addition, he traveled to many 

international sites to promote the 

Hereford registry and Hereford genetics. 

During his tenure with AHA, Snidow 

traveled to South America, Canada, 

Japan, Spain, Austria, South Africa, 

England, Ireland, Scotland and Mexico. 

Bud Snidow helped to create the Hereford historical museum also found at the AHA 

Headquarters. He also serves the role as association historian sharing many stories 

from the past. 

Bud Snidow shown with just one of the many paintings he painted 

over the years. This painting of Prince Domino hangs in the AHA 

headquarters, Kansas City, MO. Prince Domino was a very 

prominent herdsire and many bloodlines in the Hereford breed 

extend from him, such as the popular “Line One” cattle. 

“One thing I remember in all these 

countries is – not everyone could speak 

English, but they were always first rate 

people,” he says. Snidow also ushered

Minnesota’s GoPher the Purple Sale: 25 Years of Excellence 

The Minnesota Hereford Breeders are 

celebrating the 25 th Anniversary of the 

GoPher the Purple Select State Sale. We 

are excited about the quality of 

Herefords that have been sold in the 

GoPher Sale for the past 25 years. Over 

the years many of the cattle sold in 

GoPher sales have been progeny of 

cattle sold in present sales. Some of 

the consigners are members who have 

consigned every year for the past 25 

years. It takes a great deal of 

commitment by the state members to 

consistently manage and produce a 

successful state sale over the years. It 

has grown and improved each year to 

the present Sale that we offer to our 

customers. 

The Sale started in 1981 and has 

continued consecutively to the present 

sale being held December 10, 2005, at 

the McLeod County Fair Grounds in 

Hutchinson, MN. The first sale in 1981 

was held at the Granite City Livestock 

Auction Barn in St Cloud. Our annual 

banquet and meeting was also held at 

that time, just as we do at the present 

time. After a few years the sale site 

was moved to Alexandria, MN to the 

Soderholm Sale Barn. The banquet and 

sale headquarters were at the Holiday 

Inn in Alexandria. After outgrowing the 

site in Alexandria we moved the sale to 

the University of Minnesota St Paul 

Campus Sale Arena. The UM Block and 

Bridle Club were hired to get the facility 

ready and help on sale day with the 

cattle. The annual meeting was held on 

the campus and the banquet was held 

at various hotel sites in St Paul and for 

a time at the Earl Brown Center. Several 

years later the GoPher the Purple Sale 

was moved to its present sight in 

Hutchinson, MN. 

The Minnesota Hereford Breeders are 

looking forward to seeing you 

December 9 and 10 th in Hutchinson to 

help us celebrate 25 years of success. 

The annual meeting will be held at 1:00 

pm in the McLeod County Fair grounds 

Sale Barn lunch room. The annual 

banquet will be held the night of Dec. 

9 th at the Sale Headquarters, Best 

Western Victorian Inn, in Hutchinson. 

The Social Hour will begin at 6:00 with 

the banquet and banquet program 

following at 7:00. The Minnesota Jr 

Hereford Breeds will be conducting a 

silent auction again this year before and 

after the banquet. The proceeds from 

the Silent Auction are used by the Jr to 

fund various Jr Hereford activities and 

cash incentives given at the Minnesota 

State Fair 4-H show. 

The Best Western Victorian Inn, 1- 

800-369-0145, will have a block of 

rooms set aside for Thursday and Friday 

nights, December 9 & 10 th . There will 

be rooms available at the Super 8, 1- 

800-8000 and AmericInn Motel, 1-800- 

634-3444 plus several other motels in 

Hutchinson.

many international visitors when they 

traveled to the U.S. 

The United States Department of 

Agriculture’s (USDA) Foreign 

Agriculture Service also conducted 

international marketing of breeding 

stock. With his role at AHA, Snidow 

worked closely with the representatives 

of the USDA and became an expert at 

international marketing. In fact, towards 

the end of his career at AHA the Beef 

Breeds Council was formed to promote 

U.S. beef cattle internationally. Snidow 

was asked to serve as Beef Breeds 

Council coordinator and promoter of 

U.S. cattle marketing. He fulfilled this 

role for five years — up until he was 72 

years of age.

The Local Historian 

Life never did slow down for Snidow 

once he retired from the AHA in 1983. 

In fact, to this date he still is the 

historical representative for the 

association. He worked to build the 

Hereford history museum in the current 

AHA office at 1501 Wyandotte Avenue, 

Kansas City, MO. “It was just too 

important to lose what history we had 

about the breed and the breeders,” he 

says. So Snidow gathered many 

newspaper and magazine clippings, 

photos, trophies etc., which had been 

stored during the last association office 

move and he worked to put them on 

display at the headquarters.

Letters to the Editors... 

Dear Jill & Marc, 

My good friend from Canada sent me 

the enclosed pamphlets. I thought you 

would like to read. My grandfather J.O. 

Southard and Tom Sotham were good 

friends. The 2 best bulls that Tom 

Sotham had were “Corrector” and 

“Improver.” My grandfather’s bull 

Monarch had Corrector in him. 

Your friend,

*** 

Hereford America, 

Thought maybe you might like to 

know what some Hereford people are 

doing. 

Ebe will be leaving Iraq in late 

September or October. His older brother 

was over there for a year and returned 

a year ago last March. 

We have an anthrax problem in this 

area buat are vaccinating and keeping a 

close watch on the cows. 

Hope it drops off soon. Over 20 

producers have been affected in a four 

county area and have had several 

confirmed cases so far this late summer. 

Suppose this too shall pass. 

Thanks for a great paper and good 

support. Much appreciated. 

Take care & God bless, 

Merlin Fornes, ND 

Merlin and Eunice sent us a very 

interesting article on their son Ebe 

Fornes and his experience in Iraq as a 

driver of a Stryker (Armored Personnel 

Carrier). 

Accompanied by a gunner, Ebe drives 

a nine-soldier squad on periodic patrols 

“outside the wire” in the city of Mosul, 

north of Baghdad. 

Ebe mentioned that insurgent attacks 

were usually more costly to the 

insurgents than to our boys. Insurgent 

tactics make Stryker mobility a real 

powerhouse in Iraqi warfare. Insurgents 

specialize in unconventional use of 

weapons that creates more noise and 

disruption than serious damage. “they’ll 

fire a mortar from a car window, then 

speed off,” he explains. “This is usually 

wildly inaccurate. Also, they can’t fire 

more than a couple rounds before army 

patrols are on them.” 

Ebe has a talent not thought of as a 

high priority in a war zone but he stays 

very busy during his free time reverting 

to his role as the unofficial company 

tailor. Being 6’ 4” Ebe learned to sew 

his own clothing during his stint in E 

Company, Seventh Cavalry, a 

reenactment group “garrisoned” at Fort 

Ransom back home. He took his sewing 

skills with him to Iraq. In fact, his 

sewing skills were so essential to his 

brigade that the army shipped his sewing 

machine over to Iraq for him. Ebe has 

been in great demand to modify uniforms 

to suit Iraq-style warfare. An example 

is that when wearing normal Desert 

Camouflage Uniforms and body armor 

it is impossible to reach the front 

pouches. Ebe studied the situation and 

figured out a solution. He took off the 

pouches hidden by body armour and 

sewed them on the shoulders. He then 

attached the unit patches displaced by 

the new shoulder pouches back on using 

Velcro. 

Nothing like a little farm-boy 

ingenuity! 

Ebe’s parting words were this, “No 

matter what the media says — and they 

seem to bounce from bad to bad — our 

mission is working. We’re making a big 

difference in Iraq!” 

Thanks Ebe for your service and 

dedication to our great country.

I miss the magazine — put me back

September and October issues — please 

send me copies of those also. 

I have some deep roots with the 

Polled Hereford breed. Years ago I was 

a breeder, National Polled Hereford 

Fieldman, and a director of the American 

Polled Hereford Association. Also spent 

some time as a Director of South Dakota

Dear Marc, Jill & everone in your office, 

Enclosed is our renewal for your 

paper. 

We enjoyed seeing Jill on the ND 

Hereford Tour again this year. It really 

is nice to see so many supporters of 

our breed and to see a few younger 

people who are looking at the “white 

face” as a way to improve their bottom 

line. 

We are planning to sell our steers 

November 17th at Napoleon Livestock. 

We are keeping all the heifers until we 

see how they grow out for another 2-3 

months. There seems to be some 

interest in good commercial Hereford 

heifers so time will tell. 

With the cattle prices at an all time 

high, everyone should be happy with

Montana Hereford 2005 Convention is Huge Success 

By Byron Bayers 

The MT Hereford Assn. annual 

convention was held at the Heritage Inn 

in Great Falls, MT on Nov 5 th , 2005. 

Dale Sand of Power was Convention 

chairman and did an excellent job of 

organizing the event. For the past several 

years this convention has been held in 

conjunction with the Montana 

Stockgrowers convention in Billings. 

This year the Directors voted to move 

to Great Falls and hold a convention 

independent of other groups. It is the 

intention of the group to move to various 

locations throughout the state for future 

conventions. This gathering was a great 

success with nearly one hundred people 

attending.Very informative presentations 

were made by Jack Ward and Stacy 

Sanders of the American Hereford Assn. 

staff from Kansas City. These two 

fielded every question presented to them 

in an honest and professional manner. 

Farrah McGregor of Pfizer made a 

very informative presentation on her 

company products that was well 

attended. 

A CHB fed banquet was very well 

attended and the food was enjoyed by 

all. Awards were presented to the 

Commercial Breeders of the Year, 

Darrell and Judy Mikelson of Hobson, 

Hereford Person of the Year, Mike 

O’Kragly of Billings, and Young 

Hereford Breeder of the Year, JayDe 

Eggen of Plentywood. Auctions were 

held to raise funding for the activities 

of the MHA. The steer carcass award 

winners for the MT Jr. Assn. were 

awarded (listing on next page). Ken 

Overcast from Chinook, MT provided 

the entertainment for the evening. Ken 

is a longtime cowboy, rancher but he is 

also a humorist and western singer. For 

over an hour Ken kept the crowd 

laughing and entertained, but his last act 

of the evening was one that only cattle 

people could appreciate and the crowd 

was almost rolling on the floor at Ken’s 

presentation of The “Kamikaze Cow”. 

This is Ken’s rendition of getting a mad 

old cow in the barn that is calving, and 

then trying to get her to accept a new 

calf. Even though Ken does not say so, 

this must have been an Angus cow! If 

you ever need someone really great to 

entertain your group give Ken a call. 

This may be the only guy that is funnier 

than Pete Atkins in S.D., with his Elvis 

routine. Elected to the MHA Board of 

Directors were Cory Dutton of Gold 

Creek, Don Broesder of Conrad, Cody 

Haber of Circle, JayDee Eggen of 

Plentywood and Byron Bayers of Twin 

Headed to Denver with a Great Prospect.

Every once in awhile a great, great bull comes along and we feel it has happened 

in 417P. After much thought we have decided as an attraction to our 

60th year in business to offer an interest in 417P. One could write a book on his 

heritage starting with his sire 212, selling for $54,000 and his dam just recently 

topping the Cooper cow Sale at $36.000. Add into that Cooper’s 2nd high 

selling cow was 8104, the paternal dam at $25,000. 417P himself was Cooper’s 

top selling bull. 417P is chucked full of muscle, depth, spring of rib, pigment 

and style to go along with his heritage. Not only all of this, but 417P set the 

standard for both rib eye and IMF in the Cooper sale with a 119 REA ratio and 

122 IMF ratio. What a bull to sell Feb. 11th. Baker, JBN and Mark Cooper will 

each retain a 1/4 interest. 1/4 semen interest and semen sales sell along with a 

bank of semen.

218 has to rank as one of the top bulls we have ever raised. He is sired by 

our 7046 bull that has left his mark wherever used. 218 can do it all from 

phenomenal calving ease to rapid growth to 18 months with thickness 

and style in his progeny. His unique -2.3 birth and +.31 rib eye are 

exceptional. His calves had a 109 REA ratio and 101 IMF ratio. 218’s bull 

calves will definitely catch your eye and his daughters are awesome. 218

HH MISS ADVANCE 629U 

CL 1 Dominette 0112K ET 

The first time we saw 0112K we thought she was special. When we 

saw her with 417P at side we knew it. She topped the recent Cooper 

Cow Sale at $36,000 and has been a Cooper donor cow. As you can see, 

she is fault free with an udder that we demand. 417P does not come 

by his carcass data by accident, it is bred into this cow and cow family. 

We feel fortunate to be able to add genetics like these to our herd. 

Selling 

Interest in KB L1 Domino 218 and CL1 Domino 417P along with 

Montana Miss 011 

75 powerful performance bred bulls with a large number of them suitable for heifers 

25 of the best heifers we have ever offered 

We invite you to mark the date Sat., Feb. 11, 2006 and either write or call for your catalog. 

Also you can visit us online at www.kenbakerherefords.com 

We have invited JBN Herefords to join in with us in making this one of the deepest sale offerings we have had.

011 is one of the best cows we have had. She sold to the good herd 

of Jerry Brink in Iowa in our cow sale where she is now in ET. 011 is out 

of the famed 336 cow who has been one of the top cows in the 

Hereford breed. She has tremendous influence in our herd. 011 is 

sired by CL 1 Domino 5101E, the $22,500 top selling Cooper bull. We 

feel 011 is the kind of cow you want your herd bull to be out of. There 

is no guess work with her or her son 218.

Excitement and interest was high 

Saturday morning as consignors were

Potential buyers seemed to have 

gathered earlier this year than in years past

10 Fun Facts About Churchill 

1. All bulls are sold off the 

ranch by private treaty. 

We have a large group of 

both horned and polled 

bulls available. 

2. 85% are the result of 

AI or ET and it has been this way for 25 years. 

Ultrasound testing started in 1992. 

3. Our bulls are fed a high roughage diet and are 

hard, sound and active. 

4. Most of our bulls breed Hereford cows — our 

customers want to keep a problem-free, efficient, 

maternal cow herd and they use Churchill bulls to 

get the job done. 

5. We purchase calves from our customers and 

annually feed out hundreds of cattle for the CHB 

program. We hold an annual feeder calf sale in 

January in conjunction with Headwaters Livestock. 

6. We concentrate totally on Hereford cattle. We 

study our lesson and do our homework so you 

don’t have to. 

7. This year several leading breeders called our 

bred heifers “maybe the best group I’ve ever see”. 

You can purchase the mates to them. 

8. Our herd sire, 285M, is PROVEN to be an elite 

carcass sire, yet is only 1.8 on birth with maternal 

being his greatest strength. 

9. Our program is based on stacking generations 

of performance cattle, not bloodlines. We demand 

calving ease, fast growth, efficient maternal traits, 

and “best of breed” carcass. 

10. We calve spring and fall. All of our fall born 

bulls are available now, as is the oldest half of the 

spring ‘05 calves. The younger half is kept 

through the summer and offered as coming two’s.

growth and ideal udders. He has full pigment, 

exceptional muscle and lower quarter, big scrotum 

and plenty of bone.

Many things have changed around 

Blueberry Hill Farms, Norfolk, NE since 

its beginning in the 1970’s but the focus 

on the Hereford business is still the 

mainstay. 

Mike and Joyce Crowley and their 

family initiated Blueberry Hill Farms, 

located in the hills along the Elkhorn 

River Valley in northeastern Nebraska. 

In the early days, the Crowley family 

was involved on a daily basis, doing 

chores for both the cattle and horses 

on the farm. 

Growth in the 1980s 

In the early 1980’s the Crowley’s 

took the step to enter into the registered 

Polled Hereford business which Mike 

had been earlier associated with while 

living in southern Nebraska. As a result 

they added Doug Bolte as manager at 

Blueberry Hill in 1982, a position he still 

fulfills today. 

By the time 1984 rolled around, 

Blueberry Hill Farms had grown to 200 

registered Hereford cows and a 1,300 

head commercial cattle operation which 

was located on a second ranch site near 

Springview, NE. 

“We select our registered herd based 

on the same traits that worked for our 

commercial herd,” says Doug Bolte. 

This means a commercial cow herd 

which relies on calving 

ease, producing a 

quality calf which will 

grow and grade, plus 

cattle that can be 

handled and worked 

safely and efficiently. 

The bottom-line of 

selection is based on

grading cattle. “At Blueberry Hill Farms, 

we are constantly working towards 

producing this type of animal,” Bolte 

says. “This is what our customers want 

as well.” 

Value of Data 

Keeping this goal in mind and now 

incorporating the much more extensive 

amount of information that is available 

to cattle producers today has also 

allowed Blueberry Hill to keep up with 

their customer needs. 

They collect birth, weaning and 

yearling weights, along with scrotal, 

pelvic, and ultrasound data on all 

yearling bulls and heifers. Carcass data 

is collected on steer mates when 

possible. In addition to the information 

already mentioned, they annually rank 

the cow herd based on udder and body 

condition scores. 

“We believe the more complete data 

you collect, the more accurate the 

information will be and this will make 

the end product more consistent,” Bolte 

says. He further comments, our founder, 

the late Mike Crowley, set the philosophy 

we operate on today — set goals, keep 

good records to meet those goals as 

efficiently as possible and be ready to 

adapt to change. 

In 1989, another turn of events 

occurred. The commercial cow herd 

was put up for sale. 

However, the registered 

herd continued and then 

was dispersed in 1990. 

The land around the 

ranch also went through a 

change. “Who knew our

four lane express way” Bolte explains. 

The highway construction resulted in 

changes to farm site access and even 

eliminated a building site. 

Today, the operation still consists of 

85 females that are actual descendants 

of 10 bred heifers which were retained 

from the 1990 dispersal. The strong 

genetics and customer trade continues 

at Blueberry Hill. In 2001, the Nebraska 

Polled Hereford Association (NPHA) 

named them ‘Breeder of the Year’. “It 

was very gratifying to be voted on by 

your peers — especially since you have 

worked alongside them and even 

competed against your fellow breeders 

for many years,” he notes. 

At Blueberry Hill, marketing of 

yearling bulls occurs as they join forces 

with Frenzens’ Polled Herefords, 

Fullerton, NE., as a guest consignor to 

the annual bull sale. The sale is held the 

fourth Tuesday of March and offers 60 

Angus bulls and 40 Polled Hereford 

bulls. The bulls are fed with the Frenzen 

bulls and ultrasound data is collected and 

made available to the customers. 

Blueberry Hill also consigns cattle to 

Nebraska Steer and Heifer Futurity Sale, 

Nebraska Cattlemen’s Classic and Sioux 

Empire Show and Sale in Sioux Falls, 

SD in addition to selling breeding stock 

on the farm at private treaty.

Glynn Debter Inducted into Hereford Hall of Fame 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Glynn Debter, Horton, Ala., was inducted into 

the Hereford Heritage Hall of Fame on Oct. 24 at the American Hereford 

Association (AHA) Annual Meeting in Kansas City. For many years he has 

had a dynamic influence on the direction and advancement of the Hereford 

breed. 

Debter is the third of five generations operating a family farm in north 

central Alabama. The Debter farm has evolved from its sole cash crop of 

cotton to a nationally recognized Hereford seedstock supplier. 

“Since 1948 Glynn has committed himself and his sons to making the 

purebred Hereford herd a priority and positioning it to meet the changing 

needs of the industry,” says Craig Huffhines, AHA Executive Vice President. 

Early on, the family was involved in the Beef Cattle Improvement 

Association (BCIA) and Total Performance Records (TPR). Their search 

for higher performing and more functional cattle led to the introduction of 

Line Ones into their program in the early ’70s. 

Artificial insemination was used to supplement their breeding program 

and Glynn was one of the first to see the enormous potential of embryo 

transfer. He was honored in 1990 as the BIF seedstock producer of the year. 

The Debters have hosted annual production sales on the farm for 33 

years. They consistently rank among the top five Hereford bull sales in the 

U.S. in the 50-100-bull category. 

Glynn has always made time to promote Herefords and the beef industry. 

He served as director and vice-president of the AHA and was elected president 

in 1987. During the merger of the AHA and the American Polled Hereford 

Association (APHA), he was selected to serve a three-year term as chairman 

of the merged board from 1995-1998. 

The American Hereford Association in Kansas City, Mo., is the second 

largest beef breed association in the United States, serving 13,000 junior and 

adult members who register more than 71,000 head annually.

Thoughts From Your Fellow Breeders 


Hereford America asked five Hereford 

breeders during events in September and 

October to share their thoughts on three 

questions addressing technology, 

marketing and the future of the cattle 

business. Interviewed were: 

Kirk Bieber, Bieber Herefords, Onida, 

SD 

David Kitchell, Dakitch Herefords, 

Ada, MN 

Ron and Allen Schutte, Schutte & 

Sons Polled Herefords, Guide Rock, NE 

Bryan Sidwell, Sidwell Herefords, Carr, 

CO and Hawk Springs, WY 

Dale Venhuizen, Churchill Cattle Co., 

Manhattan, MT 

and this is what they had to say. 

How has technology influenced the 

management of your operation? 

Bieber - Ultrasound is one of the 

technologies we have incorporated into 

our business plan at Bieber Herefords. 

It is a great method to achieve the data 

needed to market cattle and find out 

your herd’s ribeye area and marbling. 

Online registration has also been recently 

used to register our herd with the 

national office. 

Kitchell – The three most common 

types of technology we use at DaKitch 

Herefords are electronic scales, 

ultrasound 

and EPDs. 

Utilizing these 

forms of 

technology 

has helped us 

to develop 

genetics with 

less variation 

from top to 

bottom. We David Kitchell 

also utilize the computer and internet. 

Son Matthew has the computer skills 

and has been designing brochures and 

sale flyers to help promote our cattle. 

We often make up a flyer to send out to 

potential buyers ahead of time, so when 

they get to the event they know about 

our cattle already. 

Sidwell – Computerization has 

gradually been adopted into our 

operation and we are using it to keep 

our records. As computer programs for 

livestock management become more 

user-friendly we will adopt even more 

uses and programs to help manage our 

herd. We have also ultrasounded the bulls 

“LITTLE JOE THE WRANGLER” 

WR C8 WARRIOR 17L 309 

If you want to sell bulls to make Black Baldy calves, you need to use 

this kind and type of bull. Breeding interest available for natural service 

during spring breeding season.

and heifers in 

our operation 

to track the 

carcass 

merits of our 

genetics as 

we strive to 

produce 

cattle with 

less backfat 

and a large 

ribeye. 

Bryan Sidwell 

Schutte - A new technology we have 

tested out at Schutte Polled Herefords 

is the use of distillers grain as a feed for 

our cattle. Distillers grain is a cheaper 

feedstuff option which we can get 

locally and it appears to get the calves 

to eat better. Distillers grain is a byproduct 

produced during the 

conventional production of alcohol from 

grain for fuel. Additional forms of 

technology are the use of all the 

performance information and EPDs. 

With this added information we can 

select cattle based on more parameters. 

Venhuizen - We have utilized 

ultrasound technology and it has really 

assisted us in the marketing of our cattle. 

We use it to determine backfat 

measurements, ribeye area and marbling. 

This information is then used for 

individual 

selection. 

In our 

herd, we 

look for the 

a b o v e 

average 

data results 

to carry 

back in our 

herd. We 

Dale Venhuizen 

also have used the new technology of 

‘Cidrs’ that helps us organize our ranch 

management and calving season better. 

Of course, the internet has also been 

used to track information and market 

our cattle. 

The Schuttes — pictured are Allen and Norma; Nancy and 

Ron Schutte. 

What is a current marketing 

strategy that you are using to sell 

bulls/seedstock? 

Bieber – One of our successes has 

been showing our cattle and getting our 

name out to breeders. By exhibiting 

cattle at major shows such as the Denver 

Stock Show 

our genetics 

are seen by 

many who 

couldn’t 

travel to the 

ranch to see 

them and 

they have the 

opportunity 

to compare Kirk Bieber 

them with 

other cattle on display in Denver. We 

started exhibiting pen and carload cattle 

in Denver in the 1970’s and then take 

our bulls home and sell them in our 

annual production sale. For 21 straight 

years we had a champion ‘On the Hill’ 

or ‘In the Yards’ and this was great 

exposure for us. 

Kitchell - We are in the process of 

developing a website that we can show 

our customers more about our cow herd, 

cattle for sale and the environment they 

are raised in. There doesn’t seem to be 

one total answer on how to market bulls 

successfully, but we feel that a website 

will help us to be an additional tool to 

reach out to a new audience. We also 

plan to make the website educational in 

the case that city folk find the website 

and want to learn more about agriculture 

and the beef industry. 

Sidwell – Our target audience has 

been to sell Hereford bulls to be used 

on black and black-baldy cows. There 

are a large number of black hided cattle 

in the country and the cross with a 

Hereford makes an acceptable carcass. 

Many of our customers have come back 

because they like the British cattle 

versus the Continental lines. We also sell 

a good number of 

bulls to the high 

elevation country so 

having genetics that 

work in that setting is 

important. 

Schutte - We 

have 20 different 

information aspects 

available on each of 

the animals that we 

sell, including carcass 

data, (cont. on page 30)

and ultrasound data. Bull buyers attending our annual bull sale can utilize 

this information to help with their decision making process. We have 

found that the more information we can provide our customers the 

more pleased they are. Schutte Polled Herefords has been in the business 

for 50 years, so another quality we offer is reputation. Our customers 

know our way of doing business, know our cattle and can trust that we 

will be here to help them if they have any questions. Our name has been 

known for so many years in the cattle business that it is one of our best 

sellers. 

Patrick Morgan of Burwell, NE exhibited the Champion Hereford/Polled Hereford 

heifer at the Ak-Sar-Ben Livestock Show in Omaha, October 2. The February 

heifer, SR Ms Mark 4139, is a daughter of Remitall Online 122L and was bred by 

Sellman Ranch, Crawford, NE. 

Reserve Champion heifer was exhibited by Grady McMahon of Ayr, NE. 

Venhuizen– We market 60-70 herd bulls private treaty and thus we 

need to find what works and stick with it. We have a lot of repeat 

customers and work to create new customers each year. We will buy 

the calves back from our customers and assist them in getting back 

data. This helps them know what they are purchasing and helps us 

know what our production levels are as well. We have also utilized the 

HerfNet website to list market cattle. 

Based on the current marketplace, is there anything you are 

doing or will be doing in your operation or marketing strategy 

that is different than in previous years?

Bieber – The industry continues to move toward a carcass-oriented 

product where feeder cattle will perform in the feedlot and produce a 

very acceptable end product. We are involved with Ridgefield Premium 

Hereford Beef, because we see the increased demand for Hereford cattle 

and branded beef programs as a way to continue to market our genetics 

in the future. 

Kitchell – We have to look to the future and with two sons ages 18 

and 21, Dakitch Herefords will carry on and plan to be ready for the 

changes ahead. We will utilize electronic identification and the value that 

if offers in traceback. We will aim to incorporate ideas and programs 

that will make our cattle more marketable in the years ahead. 

Schutte – At this time we aren’t planning to make any changes. 

Guess as the saying goes – ‘if it isn’t broke don’t fix it.’ We will be 

having our 34 th annual bull sale in early March selling 40 bulls and we 

will rely on the performance data, our reputation and our cattle’s genetics 

to have a successful event. 

Sidwell – We as a breed and a breeder need to be open to change. We 

need to be willing to try new things and strive to be the first to accomplish 

such a task rather than not being in the lead. Programs like ‘Verified 

Hereford’ appear to be a good way to get Hereford cattle in the forefront 

of the marketplace. 

Venhuizen – At Churchill Cattle Co., we would like to increase our 

commercial cow-herd base. As the enthusiasm for Herefords grows, 

and white-faced genetics are demanded in the marketplace our goal is 

just to get Hereford genetics in the cattle. With this increased demand 

we can get a premium from our commercial cattle and utilize our 

registered herd to advance our genetics. The industry pays for genetics 

and management and our challenge is to match the level of management 

to the level of genetics we produce.
