This is one ranch location people don’t come to for the free lunch, they come for business. This is a cowboy ranch location, high desert, chilling wind, a ways from town, and the scenery is different. This is one of the hardest working families that I have ever known, they deserve a good sale. December brought on our Montana Hereford Association annual meeting which is held at the same time and location as the MT Stockgrowers Association convention. This year Phil Friend, President and CEO of Ridgefield Farms, was invited to speak on the new packing plant that is being built in Huron, SD, and which will feature Premium Hereford Beef. Phil flew in from Huron with several of his staff and picked up Marc and Jill Hotchkiss in Buffalo, SD on their way to Billings. Phil also provided the Premium Hereford Beef for the banquet that night. Phil, during his talk, showed pictures of the progress of the plant and gave the crowd details of the planning. A very interested crowd listened intently to the presentation. The MT Hereford Assn. paid tribute to all the Hereford breeders in MT that have been in the business over 50 years. Fourteen were honored but I am sure some were missed as the AHA missed some very important breeders in their recognition at the annual meeting this year. Honored by the MHA this year were Anchor (Hinderager’s), Bayers, Brooks, Cooper, Feddes, Fort Keogh, Holden, Isbell, Landers, Nelson Polled, Schock, Sidwell, and Story. Those that were missed should notify Hereford America so we can mention your firm. We did not make the list up but we can correct an oversight. Our ranch was one of those honored and this makes the 86 th year of our operation. It seems like many ranchers are also good football fans and in all of our area of the country teams from the cattle countries have done well. Montana played for the Division 1AA championship, Wyoming won their bowl game, Oklahoma plays for the big championship, Boise State is undefeated as is Utah, and both in bowl games, Texas and Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Texas EP, OK State, and New Mexico, are all in bowl games. I am sure the Nebraska fans will look forward to their return to power. Colorado is in the big show and our smaller Carroll College was national champion in their division. I have missed some of your favorite teams playing but the point is that most ranchers like football and follow their teams. I am one of them, being an old Grizzly who played way back in the 40’s, I can relive the dreams. I hope to see many of you readers in Denver this January for the big National Western. So long until then. — BB
