This past fall was the 30th Anniversary of the American Black Hereford Association that my family founded. It gave us all a moment to stop, and reflect on how far this breed has come. At the end of 2024, the ABHA was closing in on 600 active breeders across the country. Thirty years ago, that association had board meetings around my parents’ dinner table. What a journey it has been… and, in all reality, it has only just begun! We are extremely proud of the group of bulls we are offering in our 41st Production Sale. There are 55 homozygous black bulls, 57 homozygous polled bulls, and 29 bulls that are both homozygous black and homozygous polled. We continue to maintain the calving ease and maternal traits that make these cattle so desirable, while pushing the growth and carcass traits to even higher levels. We know first-hand how profitable Black Hereford sired steers can be — that is why we conducted the head-to-head comparison in 2022 with Angus sired steers that you can review on page 23. It is remarkable that despite record high prices, beef demand domestically and internationally remains very strong. That is because of the hard work our industry has done creating and investing in a better, more consistent dining experience for the end consumer. That work begins right here, with the genetic selections you will be making to bring home to your cowherd. Thank you for your confidence in our program. Welcome to the Ranch.
