Byron Bayers 

The winter 

weather has 

started to hit most 

of the nation now 

and with the snow 

and blizzard 

conditions it 

brings back the 

Byron Bayers 

memories of 

yesteryear and some of the 

experiences I have been through. 

After our fall sale many years 

ago, I was looking into where I had 

to deliver bulls. (I don’t know who 

the dumb guy was that thought if 

you delivered the bulls it would 

help people come to the sale. Well, 

we all fell into the trap and started 

to advertise delivery. Pretty soon 

everyone, to compete, did the same 

thing, so now it just takes away 

from the sale price and everyone is 

on even ground again, and this 

started probably 50 years ago.) We 

had sold a group of bulls that went

Serving Commercial Cattlemen & Registered Hereford Breeders 

Hey, it’s the 

Christmas season 

here again and 

another year 

almost gone. We 

at Hereford 

America are busy 

getting this issue 

out the door. It’s a big one and we 

want to thank all of our customers 

for their efforts in making our 

newspaper a success this last year. 

Our goal has always been to 

promote the Hereford breed to the 

livestock industry and Hereford 

beef to the consumer. We feel 

Herefords can give the beef 

producers of our industry several 

benefits that just aren’t promoted 

like they should be. I know that our 

beef industry is centered around the 

production of a quality end product 

— a consistent, taste-appealing 

nutritious product that the 

consumer desires and wants to 

Reno’s Western Nugget Sale 

Thrilling Event for Breeders 

The one-of-a-kind Western Nugget National Hereford Sale in Reno will bring a tear to the eye of any Hereford breeder and send 

a chill down the spine. In its 39th year, the sale is unique in that the cattle are paraded on stage at the Celebrity Show Room at 

John Ascuaga’s Nugget Casino. The big gold curtain opens to the auctioneer song and the crowd is greeted with a beautiful 

lineup of Hereford cattle. This year’s sale had only two bulls so the big Mrnak bull in the middle looks as though he is overseeing 

his harem. It’s a truly unique event and one that every Hereford breeder should see at least once in their lifetime. Thanks to John 

Ascuaga for his continued support in allowing the sale to continue at his casino. (Photo by Marc Hotchkiss) 

Rausch Herefords: Making A Difference

Well, they operate the largest purebred

the family hospitality and friendships they 27 straight years, and on sale day you will see

The family 

Hereford families. Why is that you might say? To some the size of the Rausch family may 

seem to go on 

forever, but that’s 

because so many of 

them are involved 

in raising Hereford 

cattle at Rausch 

Herefords. William 

Rausch’s family 

consisted of 10 

children of which 

five sons, Gene, 

Duane, Harlan,

and there wasn’t

Elkington’s is a line bred program for over 30 years, guaranteeing consistency 

and uniformity and the ultimate hybrid vigor (heterosis). 

Our bulls are never fed a hot concentrated feed. Our program is to develop 

our bulls slowly to two years old on rough range with their mothers until 

weaning, then on long hay and a small amount of oats to ensure that they 

have good sound feet and legs (feet are never trimmed and don’t need it) to 

ensure maximum fertility and long life. Our bulls are acclimated to the 

roughest conditions. They do well in the deserts of Wyoming or Nevada or 

your lush pasture. All who use our bulls are amazed at how long they live and 

how well their calves grow. They have a unique pedigree that will outcross on 

any line of cattle, Domestic or Canadian. Look these herd sire prospects over.

marked with goggled eyes. He was ultrasounded 

and had an REA ratio of 109, IMF 137. Actual birth

Woodcrest Polled Herefords sell portion of 60 year cowherd 

Del & Ruth Wood, Woodcrest Farms, 

of Cresbard, SD have had to make that 

long dreaded decision to cut back the 

work load. Del started his life’s work 

60 years ago when his father bought 

him a Hereford heifer for a 4-H project. 

Del & Ruth have been in this 

partnership for over 50 years. They 

established a sizeable polled Hereford 

cow herd and have merchandised many 

cattle at private treaty over the years. 

Herd bulls have always been selected 

from the front end of the production or 

consignment sale offerings they 

purchased from. The genetics & EPDs 

of the herd today attest to the quality 

offered. Present day herd sires include 

some of the proven lines today; 

Boulder, World Class, Boomer, Kodiak, 

Wrangler, Matrix and others. 

A young South Dakota couple, Reese 

& Elly Jo Wagner, are expanding their 

registered Hereford program by 

selecting all the ‘P’ & ‘R’ cows. These 

would be all the bred females born in 

2004 & 2005. Reese comes from a 

strong Hereford background family 

(Rick & Judy Wagner) who have always 

maintained a commercial Hereford 

operation. Reese has shown Hereford 

steers & heifers successfully in 4-H and 

at Junior Hereford Association field 

days events. From those registered 

Hereford heifers came a productive 

cow herd and the selling of a few bulls 

at area consignment sales along with 

his top heifer calves. Another set of the 

Woodcrest Farms bred females have 

made the big move to southeast 

Nebraska. Duane & Karen Windhorst

Syracuse, NE, are a well established 

registered Hereford family that saw the 

need to expand their cow herd. They 

took all of the ‘N’ (2003) cows as well 

as a portion of the bred heifers. The 

Windhorst family has hosted many 

sales over the years and will do so again 

on March 7 th 2008. The purchase 

introduces more numbers and proven 

genetics for their cowherd. 

Del & Ruth Wood of Woodcrest 

Farms would like to thank the Wagners 

and the Windhorsts for making their 

selections from the Woodcrest herd. 

They do have some more bred females 

and the 2007 heifer calf crop still for 

sale. 

Both sales were brokered by Handel 

Marketing LLC, Art Handel of Rapid 

City, SD. 

system that focuses on the strengths of 

the Hereford Breed and the natural 

grazing potential on the ranch west of 

Okotoks. 

The “new” Bar Pipe has a rancherbased 

philosophy with the stockpiling 

of grass, an extended grazing period 

and cows that will calve on pasture in 

April and May. The ability to forage, 

doing ability and fertility will be key 

expectations of the cowherd just as 

those are important traits and strengths 

of the Hereford breed in the commercial 

cattle industry. Temperament will be 

another ongoing selection criterion at 

Bar Pipe. 

A core group of females representing 

solid foundation Bar Pipe breeding has 

been augmented by the addition of the 

top 2/3 of the Kallal Hereford Ranch 

cowherd and will number about 200 

head in total. Three Kallal bred bulls 

will also be joining the Bar Pipe 

program and will include featured herd 


Approximately 150 head of mostly registered 

2-10 year old spring calving cows 

Females from Baker, 

Mrnak and Rausch 

have been added 

over the years.

Foodservice Distributors 

Gather to Discuss 

Certified Hereford Beef ® 

KANSAS CITY, Mo – Certified 

Hereford Beef ® (CHB) staff brought 

together some of the nation’s leading 

foodservice distributors recently to 

discuss key issues pertaining to growth 

of the CHB program. More than 25 

distributors that are currently selling the 

product convened in Orlando, Fla. 

The meeting theme was “Marketing 

the Brand” and featured guest speakers 

and product presentations as well as 

business discussions. 

Mick Welch, CHB Foodservice 

Director said that the group discussed 

parameters for product distribution, 

licensing agreements, customer needs 

and carcass utilization. “We challenged 

our distributor partners with the goal 

of increasing carcass utilization to 120 

lb. per carcass in foodservice.” Welch 

added that the licensing agreement 

discussions focused on setting 

parameters for distribution. “We need 

to be able to track the areas in which 

our product is being marketed, how it 

is being marketed and who the end user 

customers are. Foodservice is a high

Excellent set of bred heifers... 

Herefords, Angus and Black 

Baldy.. AI’d and Ultrasounded. 

What a tremendous set of cows! We here at Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch feel very fortunate to be able to 

purchase the mature cows of one of the elite cowherds in the country. We would like to thank Roger and 

Judy Imig and Mike and Stacey Imig of Imig Herefords for this opportunity. The hospitality and fellowship 

was great. 

With the marriage of Daniel and Kari this past summer and their desire to become involved with the 

ranch, the decision was made to add to the registered Hereford herd. The purchase of the Imig mature 

cows combined with our existing herd should give us approximately 350 horned and polled purebred 

cows. We ranch here in central South Dakota in hard grass country where annual rainfall can be very 

limited. We believe in cattle that are very strong maternally, udder quality is very important, have moderate 

birth weights with performance and carcass traits bred into them. 

Cattle is our business as we run another 550 commercial cows. We feel this keeps us in touch with the 

kind of cattle we need to breed to keep the commercial man as well as the purebred breeder in business. In 

addition, we breed and merchandize top end replacement heifers that are raised here on the ranch or are 

purchased from our past customers. 

We invite you to visit the ranch or stop and view our cattle at any of the shows and sales, we would be 

happy to tell you about our program. 

Thanks, 

Keith,Cheryl, Erin, Kristin and Matthew

saying goes, “The rest is history.” Roger 

married Judy Munn and the Imig herd 

started to grow. Living in eastern 

Nebraska, they soon decided that more 

grass and cows would require a move 

to bigger country. They moved to the 

Valentine, NE Sand Hills area in 1968 

and then on to north of Thedford, NE. 

In 1984 they purchased their present 

ranch north of Lakeside, NE. Today that 

ranch is operated by Roger and Judy 

along with son Mike and Stacey and 

their two daughters. The ranch at one

Foodservice Distributors 

Gather to Discuss 

Certified Hereford Beef ® 


profile area for growth because of 

customer recognition.” 

CHB General Manager Arden 

Gremmert added that foodservice is the 

key to a positive, recognized and 

powerful brand. “After our foodservice 

meeting, new orders are now coming 

in with greater breadth and depth of 

CHB cuts added to the distributors’ 

lines. Underutilized cuts are finding a 

home now with some of our distributors 

as they implement strategies discussed 

at this gathering.” Gremmert said 

distributors reported that their 

customers comment on the CHB 

product’s high quality palatability. 

“That’s what sells CHB to customers: 

the great eating experience that is truly 

something special and offers a 

consistent eating experience.” 

CHB officials said this was the firstever 

foodservice-specific gathering 

they have conducted and based on 

initial feedback, they plan to make this 

a bi-annual event. 

Certified Hereford Beef was 

established in 1995 by the American 

Hereford Association to offer the food 

industry truly superior beef products 

and to enhance the demand for 

purebred Hereford cattle. Based on the 

research-proven and time-tested 

tenderness, juiciness and flavor of 

Hereford beef, the program promotes 

its distinct brand with quality-driven 

foodservice operators and retailers 

across the country.

Don’t Miss An Opportunity 

How much is a top end bull worth? 

Increase in pounds per calf as a result 

of a top performing bull. 

x 

Number of cows bred per year 

x 

Average selling price of calves for four years = 

Extra dollars you can pay for a better bull 

Example: A bull that will add 30 pounds x 4 years = 3,000 

pounds x $1.10 = $3,300. 

This bull is then worth $3,300 more than a bull who keeps 

your weaning weights the same. 

This is only half or less of the equation because you get the 

advantage of the replacement females. All good cattlemen 

that watch their cows know how much better those consistent 

top end cows do than herd average. 

Another big bonus is their fertility and longevity because these 

are worth more dollars than weaning weights. 

Another plus can be a result of selecting genetics out of programs 

that create labor efficiency in cows by having cows 

with good dispositions and quality udders.

Fawcetts Purchase Imig Mature Cow Herd 


to 1909 when the first Fawcetts settled 

in central South Dakota in what has 

been known as Fawcett valley ever 

since. This is a much diversified area 

that produces a great deal of grains, 

grass and hay and is some of South 

Dakota’s most productive cow country. 

Today this ranch is known as Fawcett’s 

Elm Creek Ranch, which is owned and 

operated by three generations, all on the 

ranch, including Robert and Marjean, 

Keith and Cheryl, son Matt, two 

daughters Kris and Erin, and son Daniel 

and his new bride, Kari. This outfit has 

long been noted for selling high quality 

commercial feeder cattle, providing 

outstanding show steer prospects and 

specializing in the production and sale 

of top notch commercial bred heifers. 

The registered Hereford herd had its 

beginning through the kids. Hereford 

heifers purchased to show for Junior 

Hereford and 4-H (with most coming 

from the Gerald Hoffman and Son 

herd). The Fawcetts have gained a 

reputation in consignment sales across 

South Dakota and at the American 

Royal for the quality Herefords they 

bring and have been highly successful 

at Junior National shows across the 

country for the past decade. With the 

third generation now becoming a fulltime 

partner on the ranch it was decided 

to expand the registered seed stock end. 

The addition of these 250 foundation 

cows from Imigs along with the 100 

registered Herefords already in 

production here will make Fawcetts a 

major contributor of Hereford seed 

stock to the registered and commercial 

industry for the entire country. 

The Imigs are extremely pleased to 

have their cow herd stay intact and go 

onward to serve as a foundation for the 

future of the Fawcett family. The buyers 

The Imig cows at their new home in the Ree Hills. 

are provided with the 60 years of 

genetic expertise put together by Roger 

Imig. 

The Fawcetts will celebrate their 

century on the same location in 2009 

and are entertaining the possibility of 

hosting a production sale at that time. 

Congratulations to all for letting this 

monumental transaction take place. 

The sale was brokered by Art Handel, 

Handel Marketing, LLC, Rapid City, SD.

into eastern Montana, a whole truck 

load, and they would have to be 

delivered over a 500 mile range of 

Montana. I set the schedule up for a day 

in November, during the week, and 

asked a friend who was in the Hereford 

business years ago, to go with me. His 

name was Remi Monforton. I loaded 

the bulls about 3:00 AM, picked up 

Remi and headed down the road. The 

truck was a Ford with a 20 foot bed on 

it and was really underpowered, but 

was dependable and had a good heater

in it. We delivered bulls along the way 

and things went along pretty well until 

early night when we were east of 

Billings and the weather started to turn 

bad. The temperature dropped to about 

10 degrees below zero and the wind 

was picking up. We left the interstate 

at Miles City and headed toward 

Jordan, then onto Circle, to our final 

destination at Earl Jensen’s ranch. 

I don’t know if you have ever been 

to Jordan, but that is an awful lonely 

country. Fly across it at night and you 

can hardly see a light. Not many people 

are on these roads in the daytime but at 

night hardly any, usually! We hit the 

Visitors always welcome 

blizzard at Jordan, and the snow was 

coming down rapidly, the temperature 

was down to 20 below and the 

visibility was about 100 yards at times, 

and the wind was about 30 knots. I 

pulled up behind a snowplow and told 

Remi, “I am going to follow this guy 

as he probably knows where he is 

going.” Remi thought that was a good 

idea. As we were going down the 

highway about 25 miles per hour 

behind the snow plow, I noticed in my 

rear view mirror, that a bunch of cars 

were following us. After about ten 

miles of this the guy in the snowplow 

I guess, decided to go home for the

night, and pulled off on a country road. 

I stopped to think about this next plan 

as I could hardly see the road, and got 

out of the truck. The guy behind me 

came around the truck and said, “My 

wife would like you to come back to 

the car and talk to her.” I said why does 

she want to talk to me? He said you 

will know in a minute. I walked around 

the truck and back to the car, and the 

woman rolled down her window and 

said, “I am very, very pregnant and will 

give birth pretty soon, so please don’t 

leave us out here in this blizzard! You 

wouldn’t do that to us would you? 

Please lead us into Circle.” I said, 

“Lady, I will not leave you in this storm 

and if I can get you to Circle, I will. It 

is about 50 miles yet and I do not know 

how bad the storm will be but I won’t 

leave you.” She smiled and said thanks. 

We counted the cars behind us at that 

time and we counted 26 sets of lights. 

By that time probably ten different 

drivers had come to get into the 

conversation, all of them men. I felt like 

Admiral Bird as the South Pole, but I 

had no dogs. We journeyed down the 

road at 20 to 30 miles per hour, as the 

storm would allow, and after about two 

and one half hours we entered Circle, 

with our convoy behind us, where I had 

a room reservation. All of the cars 

following us scattered out in Circle but 

the car behind us followed us to the 

motel. I went to check in to the motel 

and the lady at the motel said we are 

all sold out of rooms but we are holding 

your reservation Mr. Bayers. The face 

of the expectant father dropped, and 

said, “no more rooms,” to his wife. She 

started to cry and I said, “Lady, take 

my room, I will find a place to stay.” 

She and her husband both thanked 

us and said goodbye, and with that we 

left Circle to hit the storm and the road 

again, about 15 more miles to Jensen’s. 

About midnight we rolled into Jensen’s 

ranch and unloaded the bulls. Earl and 

Betty found us a room in their house. 

What a trip and what a night. I often 

wondered how the lady got along with 

her baby that night and where they 

came from or where they were going. 

We did not get their names, nor did I 

give them mine and I will never know, 

but I can just imagine in my thoughts 

how when this baby was to story-telling 

age her mother would tell her about the 

night in the great storm in Montana 

when a couple of guys in a cattle truck 

led them from harms way to a motel 

where they were safe. I think the baby 

would like that story, don’t you? 

I recently had a call from the lady of 

a prominent Canadian herd. She was 

not pleased with my article about the 

Canadian cattle finally being delivered 

to the U.S. She misunderstood the 

intent of my statement. If other breeders 

did too, let me re-explain. 

The Canadian Hereford industry has 

sold cattle to the United States during the 

border’s closure, usually saying that they 

would keep the cattle until the border

opens, thinking that would be soon, but 

it went on for five years. Semen and 

embryos were allowed to be shipped 

so that was the way the U.S. breeders 

were using their Canadian genetics. 

Some of the prominent breeders in 

Canada told me that even though they 

were happy to keep the cattle to 

accommodate the sale, it was getting 

to be somewhat of a problem to keep 

them fed, safe, and find a pen for them. 

When the border did open, each person 

involved, seller and buyer, wanted the 

cattle delivered. In no way did I mean 

to imply that the cattle were not really 

sold, I just meant to say they could not 

be delivered because the border was 

closed to them. 

Deadline 

for the 

February issue 

of 

Hereford 

America 

is Jan. 5th 

My friend Jay Pearson from Idaho 

told me a couple of years ago, “I need 

to have the bull I bought in my pasture, 

because on our ranch natural breeding 

is our way of operation.” Now Jay’s 

bull can come to his new home. I am 

sorry if I did not explain this correctly 

in the last issue. 

We sold our Hereford steers this last 

week at the Beaverhead Livestock 

Auction in Dillon. The steers weighed 

670# after a 50 mile haul. We were 

behind some of the Angus at the sale 

about 5-6 cents per pound. We did have 

a lot of people comment how nice a set 

of steers they were. I contacted the 

CHB buyer in the area but our group 

was too small for him and he did not 

bother to find more Herefords to go 

with them, even though I told him I 

knew of others in the area. Same old 

story there. The people at Beaverhead 

Livestock were honest with me and did 

their best to sell them well. Auctioneer 

John Anderson will not let them cut the 

Herefords out of the groups and so now 

they don’t ask, as they know the answer. 

Owner John Erb saw that the cattle 

were sold well. Thanks to this group, 

as not everyone is working with us, but 

let us know the good guys in the auction 

business that will work with us 

Hereford people to get a good price for 

the cattle. 

Some of us will be at the National 

Western in Denver — see you there!

Marc’s Editorial... 


consume. The trick for the 

manufacturer of the product is to stay 

in business and make a profit. In 

visiting with many purebred and 

commercial producers the last few 

months it seems that we all want to 

produce that product (and that is viable 

goal) but can we stay in business long 

enough to do that? Our input costs over 

the last few years have risen 

tremendously and we need to come up 

with new and innovative ways to offset 

those input costs. In the general aviation 

industry back in the early ‘70s Piper 

Aircraft was facing a similar problem 

with the production of their aircraft. 

They built a very reliable aircraft model 

that is still thought of as one of their 

better aircraft even today but 

discontinued its production due to high 

manufacturing costs. The model that 

took its place was cheaper to build and 

maintain but didn’t have the 

performance or the quality the 

discontinued model had. Even though 

the change in model production kept 

them in business their competitors like 

Beech and Mooney were able to gain 

more of a market share for high 

performance singles even though the 

Piper was priced cheaper. 

I guess what I’m trying to say in 

comparing Piper’s production change 

with the production of beef is this. The 

beef industry in the ‘70s and ‘80s 

needed to provide a product that stayed 

competitive with pork, chicken and 

fish. The method used was to increase 

production (volume) so that the end 

product was more competitive in price 

with the other proteins. In so doing we 

gave up consistency and quality. Now, 

the beef industry, especially the 

Hereford, is paying for that gaff. 

Hindsight is always better than 

foresight, if we would have focused 

on production costs, efficiency and 

quality all at the same time instead of 

increasing our product volume alone 

the Hereford would still be at or near 

the top. It’s great that we are trying to 

improve our end product’s consistency 

and quality. But it seems like we are 

forgetting that we used to provide a 

consistent, quality product years ago. 

Let’s get back to that type of product, 

consistent and high quality, but this 

time we need to work harder on 

cheapening the input costs. We need to 

be more efficient in producing our 

product. 

I believe if we work on promoting 

the natural benefits of the Hereford, 

fertility, longevity, feed efficiency and 

disposition, and use these benefits 

correctly we can greatly improve the 

value of the Hereford within the beef 

industry. I have visited with several 

producers that have kept the Hereford 

traits in perspective and they have very 

little problem producing a product the 

consumer desires in consistency and 

quality. We know the public likes our 

end product but we need to promote 

to manufacturers (the beef producers) 

that the Hereford is an economical and 

beneficial resource to use for product 

production. 

I attended an annual production sale 

recently with a different method of 

selling each animal. They had the sale 

animals on display for all to see before 

the sale but during the sale the animal 

was shown on TV screens instead of 

being run into the ring. I had phone calls 

from people during the sale wanting my 

opinion on a specific lot. They were 

easy to go and locate – they were in 

the same place as they were before the 

sale. Another advantage was that less 

stress was put upon each animal 

because they didn’t have to come 

through the ring. We’ve all seen some 

real interesting action due to a bull or 

cow getting excited or scared due to 

all the noise, the auctioneer’s chant and 

ring men yelling, and people pushing 

cattle up the chute trying to keep the 

sale clipping along. Hey, I liked this new 

way! It just takes more planning up 

front and someone committed to doing 

it. 

At one of the many production sales 

I’ve been to this season I heard 

someone say, “Genetics are no better 

than the bull’s ability to deliver them.” 

How true! Every one of us needs to 

keep that in mind as we are choosing 

animals to purchase or to sell. Every 

animal marketed having structural, 

genetic or production problems, does 

not help our cause. Be tough on your 

evaluations and sifting! 

Jill and I have been making plans for 

the NWSS in Denver. We plan on being 

there and look forward to all the visiting 

and viewing of cattle in the Yards and 

on the Hill. We enjoy meeting people 

and making friends and would love to 

visit with you about Herefords, or 

anything else for that matter. 

Around here we enjoy the occasional 

fresh turkey (emphasis on occasional) 

but what we have come to enjoy is a 

good Hereford Prime Rib. I even get 

orders for Hereford loins from friends 

and neighbors for the Christmas 

season. If I don’t get any for them they 

have a habit of showing up at our place, 

they know that sometime during the 

Christmas - New Year’s season we’ll 

be having a great prime rib! People like 

eating beef that was raised for its eating 

quality. Hope you enjoyed yours, or 

your turkey, during this special season. 

— Marc 

Merry Christmas!

Rausch Herefords: Making A Difference 


would hold – it was to raise Herefords 

on their north central South Dakota 

ranch. But interestingly, the early 

generation has carried that enthusiasm 

and love for raising cattle and farming 

the land on to the extensive third and 

fourth generations, a feat that is not easy 

in agriculture today. 

Gene lost his life in the Korean war 

and Duane passed away nine years ago, 

but the remaining three brothers along 

with Duane’s sons (Rick and Gary) and 

two of Vern’s sons (Shannon and Joel) 

are the core group in the operation 

today — four of the seven of the core 

group are South Dakota State 

University graduates. These seven men 

lead the daily efforts around Rausch 

Herefords, but there is an influence of 

the entire extended family seen 

throughout the ranching operation as 

well. 

“This is a family operation and we 

all help where we are needed,” says 

Jerry. 

“No matter if the ideas come from 

young or older family members all ideas 

are given thoughts by the others, some 

may get amended before implemented 

but it is a team approach,” says Harlan. 

The family is extensive enough that 

the family members represent many of 

the occupations found in a typical small 

South Dakota town including farmers, 

accountants, lawyers, computer 

programmers, mechanics, teachers, 

meat salesmen, doctors and the list 

goes on. All of these family members 

play a role in making Rausch Herefords 

what it is today. For example, on sale 

day the full team is back in Hoven, 

filling duties such as clerking the sale, 

setting up panels, parking cars, serving 

lunch or whatever duty is needed. In 

total, 18 family members have cattle 

on ownership at the ranch. 

Family gatherings such as baptisms, 

family reunions and graduations bring 

most of the group back together but 

the seven core members are responsible 

for carrying out the main activities that 

keep the ranch thriving and thus 

communication is essential. The 

management team meets regularly in 

what they refer to as ‘bull pen sessions’ 

to sort out the daily, weekly or year 

long goals of the operation. 

In order to make an operation of this 

size work, “you must share the same 

vision,” says Gary. 

Shannon sums up the family 

involvement as, “we all have a 

commitment to God, family, cattle and 

our customers. That’s what makes it 

work.” 

Joel refers to sale day as “a long day, 

but not long enough”. With all the work 

to be done it can be a long, tiring day, 

but trying to visit with repeat 

customers, other family members and 

friends, its just not a long enough day, 

he describes. 

The family is bound together by 

information, work and interest 

concludes Shannon. 

The cattle 

Enduring the times is what Rausch 

Herefords has done and where they have 

demonstrated their success. Each 

decade has brought different cultures 

and challenges in the industry. Vern 

describes the times during the ’50s and 

’60s, when customers came three 

weeks ahead of the sale to look at the 

cattle, then again the week before the 

sale and again early on sale day. But 

today with all the technologies at hand, 

customers come five minutes before 

the sale, with their animals picked out 

and performance data already analyzed. 

Jerry reiterates the changing 

marketplace in the more recent decades, 

describing the roaring times for 

Herefords in the ’70s, the loss of 

market share in the ’80s due to the 

Continental influence and the leveling 

off years in the ’90s. However, from 

2000 till now, Rausch’s have witnessed 

a gradual increase in market share. 

Marketing 

changes have 

also occurred 

over these 

decades. The 

Rausch family 

now sees many 

of their bulls sold 

to black cow 

herds when just 

three decades 

ago most all bulls 

were sold back 

into Hereford 

cow herds. 

“Customers are 

Jerry, the primary marketer sometimes spends sunup until dark 

checking cows. His wife Vicki goes along at times to take pictures.

Rausch... 


The family sells 100 bulls and 200 

heifers in their annual spring sale the 

third Monday in February. 

The honors 

One of this Hereford family’s 

greatest honors has been their 

continuous dominance in the AHA’s 

Dam of Distinction program. A program 

where cows must have produced at 

least three calves, meeting breeding 

interval and performance criteria and 

produce progeny with a 205-day 

adjusted weaning weight ratio of at 

least 105. 

Rausch Herefords has had more 

Hereford cows named to this esteemed 

listing of maternal matriarchs than any 

other breeder in the past 25 years. In 

2007, they topped the list with 70 cows. 

Just how does a Hereford breeder 

accomplish this? The Rausch team 

speaks humbly on how they have 

reached this milestone and say that it 

just has to do with the basics. 

The cow herd breeding program is 

all natural with no artificial 

insemination incorporated and 

designed to be in sync with nature 

describes the family team. This system 

compliments the fertility of the cow 

they believe. “The two-year-old heifers 

are bred timely and in the right 

condition,” says Jerry and Rick adds 

that “The selection for maternal traits 

in the overall program has also added 

to this success.” 

The cow herd is managed similar to 

that of a commercial cow herd and 

selection pressures omit cattle that are 

outliers in any one trait. Bull selection 

is also important as the bloodlines are 

studied extensively, considering visual 

as well as performance and EPD 

parameters that will fit what the Rausch 

cowherd needs at the time. 

“We have to consider EPDs because 

we have to keep our customers in mind 

and EPDs are important to our 

customers,” says Jerry. 

The family was also most recently 

the recipient of the 2007 South Dakota 

Seedstock Producer of the Year award. 

Their involvement in state and national 

associations have been all inclusive and 

to list all their leadership and volunteer 

roles would be nearly endless. 

The future 

With more than 50 years of beef 

cattle production under their belt, what 

does an operation like Rausch 

Herefords think about the future? 

The Rausches have proven to take 

on new challenges and industry 

changes as fast or faster than many 

operations. They were the first 

Hereford breeders to incorporate video 

auction viewing of their bull sale. The 

online coverage provided by 

DVAuction allowed bull and female 

buyers unable to attend the sale to bid 

and view the sale from home. 

“We’ve had great response to the 

online viewing and it hasn’t hurt our 

crowd at all,” says Vern. “We need to 

keep the customer in mind and provide 

them with options that work for them 

as well.” 

In 2007 they joined in the “Mile High 

Sale” held in conjunction with the 

Denver National Western Stock Show 

with a pick of their female herd and 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

have consigned the 2008 sale with that 

same option. This was a new marketing 

tool for the family. 

Rick is optimistic in his future view. 

“I’d predict the return of cross breeding 

 

 

 

 

to increase productivity in the industry, 

this return will enhance the value of 

Herefords and stimulate growth of the 

breed.” 

“The Hereford breed has gone

through lots of changes in the last 20 

years. The fertility, temperament, 

hardiness and just easy for our young 

family members to be around kind of 

cattle – that’s why we have not gone 

away from Herefords,” says Jerry. 

Vern sees a continuous challenge 

creating pull through demand for our 

customers’ feeder cattle. Therefore, 

they have taken advantage of the great 

pheasant hunting in central South 

Dakota and invite feedlot owners, 

packer sales staff, grocery chain 

retailers and food distributors to the 

ranch. In addition to a hunting 

opportunity, the family teaches these 

guests about management practices that 

producers do to ensure that Herefords 

continue to be the beef of choice for 

eating experiences. Information 

presented in these sessions also include: 

live demonstrations of ultra sounding 

for carcass quality, balancing of feed 

rations, bull and cow mating and cattle 

handling procedures. The bottom line 

is educating those who influence the 

purchase of Hereford genetics and thus 

in the end offering additional value to 

Rausch Hereford bull customers. 

demonstrate the depth of the Rausch 

program and the future potential for the 

family. The family speaks often of 

being blessed with good neighbors, a 

great community, strong faith and a love 

for Hereford cattle. 

“Little things are what make big 

things happen, says Vern. Staying 

focused and perseverance leads to 

one’s ability to achieve goals.”

The Difference 

Making the difference with strong 

family values and commitment, 

outstanding breeding herd goals and 

successes and a sharp eye for the future 

Rausch Forecast for 

Cattle Industry: 

1) High tech breeding programs 

will flourish as well as all natural 

breeding programs. Cattle will 

continue proving their 

performance and efficiency. 

2) High input costs such as 

labor, fuel and high tech costs will 

keep them in balance. 

3) Some cattle will continue to 

be over promoted. 

4) Communication of 

information up and down the beef 

chain will improve and a one size 

fits all animal will come closer to 

reality. 

5) Technology will continue to 

improve in selecting cattle that are 

desired by all segments of the 

beef chain. 

6) Electronic animal 

identification will improve and be a 

big asset in the monitoring of 

performance of cattle. 

7) Consumers will be able to 

dictate more what type of cattle 

will be raised by what they are 

willing to pay more for or not pay 

for. 

8) Breeders will be paying 

closer attention to how their cattle 

perform in the feedlots and on the 

rail. 

9) Cattle shows will be forced to 

become more performance and 

efficiency oriented. 

10) DNA will become more 

affordable in identifying progeny 

thus allowing breeders to use 

multiple bulls in a pasture and still 

measure performance data.

Final Farewell 

Wade Alan Hanson 

Wade Alan Hanson was born in 

Mobridge, South Dakota to Roger and 

Judy Hanson on October 8, 1965. He 

attended school in Pollock, SD and was 

baptized and confirmed at Pollock 

Lutheran Church. His upbringing with 

his siblings, Troy and LaNae, was 

amongst the best people God ever made. 

Cancer ended his mortal life early, but 

his eternal life continues in heaven! One 

day soon he shall see you again. God is 

good. 

Many blessings filled his years 

including meeting his precious wife, 

Sandra, in college. They were married 

in 1989. Wade was also blessed with a 

father and mother-in-law, Jim and Jolene 

Mitzel, who have provided love and 

support whenever needed. They were 

blessed with triplets, Taylor, Davis and 

Alexis in 1993. God sent James to them 

in 2004 when they adopted him from 

Kazakhstan. While there, God 

introduced them to Jacob and he joined 

the family in 2005. There has been no 

earthly joy greater to Wade than his 

wonderful family! 

He went to work for Lintex 

Corporation (now Encompass Group), 

a distributor of healthcare supplies, in 

1988. It is the only company he ever 

worked for. Wade’s co-workers 

supported the family through many good 

years and throughout the battle with 

cancer. Many great people and dear 


friends are employed by this company. 

Wade’s faith in Jesus has been 

maturing for many years. As he aged and 

dealt with mortality, it is very apparent 

that faith in Jesus is the only thing in 

life that truly matters. 

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the 

Lord make His face shine upon you and 

be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face 

toward you and give you peace.” 

Numbers 6:24-26

Donald Wagner 

Donald Wagner, 87, of Ralph, SD, 

died on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 at 

the Western Horizons in Hettinger, ND. 

Mass of Christian Burial was held at 

11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 17, 

2007, at St Isadore Catholic Church, 

Ralph, SD with Fr. Gary Oreshoski and 

Fr. Kerry Prendiville co-celebrating the 

Mass. Burial followed in the St. Eulalia 

Catholic Cemetery near Ralph, SD. A 

Rosary and Scripture service was held 

on Friday, November 16 at 6:00 p.m. at 

St. Isadore’s. Pallbearers were Shane 

Werk, Brandon Garrison, Don Nash, 

Dave Wagner, Kelly Prendiville and 

Chuck Deutscher. Organist was Janene 

Spatz with special music by Donny and 

Roseanne Young. 

Donald Wagner was born on 

December 6, 1919, on the family 

homestead near Ralph, SD, the son of 

Andrew and Mathilda (Kurtenacker) 

Wagner. He was raised on the family 

ranch and attended school at Clark 

School through the eighth grade. Don’s 

formal education was cut short due to 

the Depression and his mother’s cancer. 

In later years, Don always said he 

graduated from the “School of Hard 

Knocks”. Before he was drafted into the 

United States Army he worked for the 

Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC 

Camp) to assist in the building of Orman 

Dam at Belle Fourche, SD. 

He entered the Army in May of 1941 

where he served his country in World 

War II as 2 nd Lt. in the Infantry of the 6 th 

Ranger Battalion. He was one of the 121 

hand-selected US troops that slipped 

behind enemy lines in the Philippines. 

During this mission they rescued 513 

Prisoners of War, some of which were 

the last survivors of the infamous Bataan 

Death March. In October of 1945 he was 

honorably discharged from the Army. 

Don met Leah Deutscher in 1945 and 

they were united in marriage on May 29, 

1946 at St. Eulalia’s Catholic Church. 

After their marriage they lived on the 

Wagner Ranch, which they purchased in 

partnership with his brother Joe. 

Don was elected to the Harding 

County Commission in 1967 and served 

on the Commission for the next 37 years. 

During this time he was elected 

Chairman of the Commission and served 

in this capacity from 1975-1985. He was 

elected President of the South Dakota 

State Commissioners Association and 

was Chairman of the Black Hills Council 

of Local Governments. He also served 

on the State Water Board and the local 

school board. 

Don and Leah enjoyed traveling and 

visited many places around the world 

such as New Zealand, the Vatican, Alaska 

and Hawaii. Don enjoyed playing a good 

game of poker, visiting with friends, 

talking politics, telling jokes, working 

cattle and farming and he was successful 

at all. Don always had time for his family, 

especially his grandchildren. Don was a 

devout Catholic who strongly supported 

his church community. 

Don will be missed by his family; 

daughter Bea (Gene) Garrison, Tucson, 

AZ, son Brandon, daughter Donielle 

(Eric) Van Gieson and Riley; daughter 

Phyllis (Bob) Werk, Herman, MN, son 

Shane and daughter Robyn; son Dean 

(Myra) Wagner, Ralph, SD; daughter 

Karen (Jim Doolittle) Wagner, Belle 

Fourche, SD, son Charles (Dillon), 

daughters Leslie (CAS, Zachery, Cooper) 

and Samantha; sister Lois Wagner, 

Dubuque, IA; sister-in-law Rose Wagner, 

Hettinger, ND; and numerous nieces and 

nephews. 

Don was preceded in death by his 

parents; wife Leah (Deutscher) Wagner; 

sister Annette Kusler; and brothers 

Joseph, Andrew, Thomas and William 

Wagner.

Chicago. I’m sure if you ask him he 

can tell you exactly how he placed and 

also the placing of the entire team. Also, 

in his 4-H years he showed a Hereford 

steer in Denver. The only means of 

transportation was by train. Can you 

imagine traveling all the way to Denver 

with you and your steer in a box car? 

He remembers it was a very cold trip. 

However, the trip was not in vain as he 

captured the reserve Grand Champion 

showmanship award that year. 

He loves and is very dedicated to the 

Hereford breed. His spouse, Delores 

mentioned that his first love was his

However, she mentioned they have 

been married for 50 years so she knows 

she is also loved.

High Tech Bull Sale — The Cross Diamond Sale is one

Researchers at Adelaide University 

in Australia have identified a gene that 

explains a large increase in retail beef 

yield. While the gene, called myostatin 

F94L, isn’t the only gene that 

influences retail beef yield, it has a large 

effect. Homozygous animals have 13% 

larger ribeye areas and 4% more total 

retail yield, according to the research. 

The gene is most commonly found in 

Limousin cattle, researchers say. 

According to the North American 

Limousin Foundation (NALF), the 

gene’s high-yielding form occurs in 

83% of the Limousin breed, meaning 

68% of Limousin animals are 

homozygous for the trait and 28% are 

Organized Efforts Result 

in Successful Hereford 

Feeder Calf Sale 

More than 600 age, source and health 

verified Herefords and Herefordcrosses 

brought more than $20,000 in 

premiums for more than 34 consignors 

to the first Greater Midwest Certified 

Hereford Feeder Calf Sale Dec. 6. 

The Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) 

and Hereford Verified eligible calves 

from eight states – Illinois, Indiana, 

Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, 

Pennsylvania, West Virginia and 

Wisconsin – were sold at the Carthage 

Livestock Sale Barn in Carthage, Ill. 

An analysis of Illinois Department of 

Agriculture data revealed that 

compared to the week’s Illinois auction 

average, some consignors earned on 

average, an additional $57.50 per head 

by participating in organized marketing 

efforts, bringing together the numbers 

and verification that feeders demand. 

Here are examples of the prices on 

Hereford and Baldy steers in this sale: 

105 Herefords, 509#, $1.16/#. 




66 Black baldies, 648#, $1.12/#. 

16 Black baldies, 550# $1.15/#. 

Sonoma Mountain 

Herefords Honored 

The California Beef cattle 

Improvement Association (CBCIA) 

recently recognized Jim, Marcia, 

Bobby and Jamie Mickelson of 

Sonoma Mountain Herefords, Santa 

Rosa, as its seedstock producer of 

the year. The Mickelsons manage 

about 120 head of registered 

Hereford mother cows and 50 

recipient females that are used in 

their embryo transfer program. The 

family markets ranch-raised bulls at 

its annual production sale. Sonoma 

Mountain uses the HerdMaster 

computer program, allowing them 

a direct link to the AHA. All 

registrations are done online, as well 

as submissions of performance data. 

The Mickelsons are active in the 

AHA and the California-Nevada 

Hereford Association. 

Aussie Scientists Find Muscling Gene 

heterozygous. “This gene appears to 

explain a much larger proportion of the 

genetic variation of the (retail yield) 

trait than any of the currently available 

gene markers for marbling, tenderness 

or feed efficiency,” says Alex 

McDonald, general manager of the 

Limousin Society in Australia. “The 

discovery of what appears to be a major 

gene, which can be used to increase 

retail beef yield in all breeds of cattle 

throughout the world, is an exciting 

breakthrough.” Negotiations are 

underway with an Australian laboratory 

to provide a commercial gene test for 

the F94L modification.

Gordon Stephenson Recipient of Canadian Western 

Agribition Jim Lewthwaite Award 

Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) has named 

Gordon Stephenson of Calgary, AB (formally of 

Qu’Appelle, SK), as the recipient of the prestigious 

Jim Lewthwaite Award for 2007. The award, named 

in honour of one of the founders of Canadian Western 

Agribition, pays tribute to individuals, organizations 

or companies who promote Canadian Western 

Agribition internationally. 

Stephenson has been inextricably bound to 

Agribition for over three decades. Stephenson was 

Agribition’s General Manager for a five year period 

from 1977-1982; acted as a sponsor representative and 

served in a volunteer capacity as CWA President in 

Gordon Stephenson 

1991 and 1992. During his official tenures, and more 

recently in his current role as General Manager of the Canadian Hereford 

Association, Stephenson has expanded Agribition’s marketing position globally 

by actively promoting the show as the premier opportunity to assess and access 

Canadian beef genetics. 

In 2007 alone, Stephenson will host international visitors from Brazil, 

Argentina, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and Sweden. Fittingly, Stephenson’s 

award was presented at the annual CWA International Reception held at the 

Casino Regina Show Lounge. 

Montie Soules Receives 

Canadian Hereford Ambassador Award 

The Canadian Hereford Association’s Ambassador Award recognizes 

persons, family operations, or businesses that are non-residents of Canada, 

and/or non-members, which have made a major contribution to the promotion 

of Canadian Hereford Genetics. We are proud to award Montie Soules of the 

Star Lake Cattle Ranch with this honour for 2007. 

“Montie Soules has become the only American cattle breeder who’s treated 

like a Canadian,” in the words of cattle marketer Ted Serhienko, owner of T 

Bar C Cattle Company and publisher of Herefords Today. “Montie is 

recognized here as a competitor, a judge, a bidder and buyer, and a friend. 

He’s one of few American breeders who attend the big Hereford shows in 

Toronto and at Agribition on a regular basis.” 

The breeder and/or exhibitor of an estimated nearly 100 North American 

Grand Champion Horned Female – 

GH Cooperobin 254R, born 1/1/05, w/calf

National Champions, the ranch and 

cowherd managed by Montie Soules has 

garnered more Premier Breeder honours 

at top North American shows than any 

other breeding establishment. 

He’s also a man who appreciates his 

roots, in the words of auctioneer Colonel 

Eddie Sims. “There’s no aspect of the 

industry he hasn’t experienced,” says 

Sims, “from fence builder, to fitter, to 

student, to owner, boss and partner. 

That’s what makes him a leader.” He’s also 

a master marketer. 

Montie grew up with two sisters on his 

parents’ turkey operation in the state of 

Michigan. His family is of Greek heritage. 

He became further involved with livestock 

through his experience in 4-H and college 

at Michigan State University (MSU) 

under the guidance of David Hawkins in 

the animal science department. He also 

bought his first Herefords from MSU. He 

later started his own fitting business and 

leased equipment and his services out to 

purebred sales across the Northeast for 

about three years. Montie got his first 

opportunity to shine when hired by Alex 

Ewing, to manage the ACE Polled 

Hereford herd in New York State in 1978. 

It is said that Montie put ACE on the map 

among elite breeders. 

The herd that Montie built at ACE 

provided the foundation for the herd that 

he manages today. How he managed the 

business of that herd has given him the 

reputation of “one of the very most 

respected managers of any breed in North 

America,” in the words of Sims. In a 

conscientious manner, he strived to make 

everything good, better. That original 

ACE herd was highly influenced by the 

addition of a cow herd purchased from 

Justamere Farms of Alberta. It also relied 

heavily on the addition of other Canadian 

genetics, made possible by the close 

proximity to the U.S.-Canadian border.

That same herd, which was eventually 

moved by Ewing to Oklahoma State, was 

ultimately purchased by Dan Thorne and 

relocated to the Star Lake Ranch. Montie 

followed the herd. More recently, Montie 

facilitated the change of ownership of the 

Ranch and Herefords to the Blin Family. 

Through all the transitions, the herd has 

grown and deepened in quality. As 

Montie’s long time friend Johnny 

Winston says, it is a herd that beats the 

drum and waves the flag for the Hereford 

breed, as one of the most progressive and 

innovative in North America. 

The Star Lake herd’s influence would 

soon spill into Canada, Australia, 

Argentina, and the European Union. 

Montie was one of the first to market cattle 

by putting his auction online and on RFD- 

TV. The Star Lake bull sale is the largest 

Hereford bull sale in Oklahoma and the 

Southwestern U.S. 

In Canada, Montie has never been afraid 

to buy a bull, if he feels it could be a 

contributor to the breed. He often has 

animals sold before he buys them. He has 

a mini, mental business plan for each. 

Semen interests are sold to turn a profit 

for all owners and breeders involved. He 

has marketed the Star Lake Bulls through 

the Canadian bull book and through other 

Canadian bull markets. Montie also 

always helps the people that helped him. 

Star Lake Cattle Ranch regularly 

exhibits cattle at prominent Canadian 

Livestock shows, motivating many 

Canadian breeders to improve their 

programs. As Sims puts it, if there is 

jealousy for his success, it is “jealousy 

with respect.” Montie helped many small 

breeders enrich their programs because 

of their affiliation with him. He has 

encouraged the Canadian industry to rely 

more on performance data to illustrate 

benchmarks that need to be challenged.

BSE, Montie made 

the decision to 

increase his support 

of Canadian 

breeders by 

continuing to buy 

cattle here, going so 

far as to establish a 

Canadian Star Lake 

herd, which 

purchased some of 

the top-selling 

Herefords in sales 

over the past few 

years. Through Star 

Lake’s partnership 

with River Valley 

Hereford Farms, 

Montie started a joint production sale, to 

offer the results of his carefully selected 

Canadian herd. At that sale, he introduced 

the concept of replacing the sale ring with 

recent sale cattle videos, while sale lots 

were also on display for viewing. That 

herd and sale continues today. It is an 

innovative new concept in purebred 

auction sales introduced to Canadian 

breeders. 

While his philosophy is profit-driven, 

with no emotional attachments, Montie 

Soules never forgets the human equation 

of his business. He treats people fairly

Just as he doesn’t rely on others to sell

gladly shared with anyone who takes the 

time to know him.

baseball and competed in track and 

field. He was extremely successful in 

all three, being selected as a league allstar, 

winning a Saskatchewan High 

School Athletic Association (SHSAA) 

provincial title and numerous league 

championships in hockey. In baseball 

Neil won provincial and league 

championships, played in the western 

Canadian final and was selected “Player 

of the Game” several times. His claim 

to fame on the track was as holder of 

the provincial record in the 200 yard 

dash. 

In 1974 Neil married his wife, Lenna, 

and they went on to have two children, 

Kristy and Chad. Neil was very active 

in his children’s lives, coaching Chad’s 

hockey and baseball teams and serving 

as an assistant leader in the Wawota 

4-H Beef Club to which both Kristy and 

Chad belonged.

While he was growing his family, 

Neil was also building his reputation in 

the Hereford industry, both in Canada 

and abroad. In 1980, at the request of 

the Bulgarian government, Neil assisted 

with the selection and delivery of cattle 

to Bulgaria. While there, Neil gave 

clipping, showmanship and beef 

production seminars. In the years since, 

he exported semen, embryos and live 

cattle to several US states, Europe, 

Australia and Japan. 

Back at home in Canada, he built his 

herd up to include 150 purebred cows, 

large enough to host a fall production 

sale for 16 consecutive years, from 

1990-2005. In addition to their own 

sales, Haroldson’s Polled Herefords was 

a loyal contributor to the Regina Bull 

Sale, where Neil exhibited numerous 

champions.

Neil had a tremendous memory in 

regards to pedigrees and ancestry 

information involving all Hereford 

bloodlines. He was called upon regularly 

by breeders from Canada and around 

the world to provide pedigree 

information, sales results and show 

placings on animals other than his own. 

He always had something positive to 

say about any animal in question and 

he was highly respected for his 

knowledge of the breed. 

When Neil passed away suddenly at 

the farm he loved on February 21, 2006, 

the Hereford breed lost a great 

ambassador and friend. It is with great 

respect that the Canadian Hereford 

Association inducts Neil Wilson into its 

Memorial Scroll.

Boy, I hate that. So I looked in the mirror, 

and by George I think she’s right. It really 

doesn’t look all that good. Now, this 

wasn’t my town hat….just for the record.

through a lot together, that old hat and 

me. It’s hard to tell how many times it’s 

been stomped in the manure, most of the 

time still containin’ my noggin. I got to 

wonderin’ if my head looks as bad as it 

does. Thank goodness that heads heal 

up. It’s sure too bad that hats don’t. 

In this modern world full o’ drugstore 

cowboys, real ones are getting a little 

harder to come by. One of the ways you

can tell a real cowboy is by their hat. Oh, 

they don’t all look the same that’s for sure, 

but it has to do with the way they wear 

‘em. You’ll very rarely see a real cowboy 

chasing their hat. I don’t care if there’s a 

forty mile an hour Chinook wind blowin’, 

his ol’ sky piece will be right where she 

belongs. 

The secret here is to pull ‘er down over 

the knot. Every real cowboy has at least 

one or two knots on their head, which is 

why the hats get to lookin’ a little rough 

after while. I’ve got several spots that 

have taken stitches through the years, and 

several more that should have. I feel very 

fortunate that there isn’t any real evidence 

of drain bramage. 

My favorite knot for keepin’ my hat on 

is sort of on the south west corner of my

head. I got that one at a rodeo in Malta 

about a hundred years ago. The show was 

over, and I was walking across the 

grounds when I got freight trained from 

the back by a bronc that happened to 

escape out of an open gate. Who else 

but me could get run over by a buckin’ 

horse in a parkin’ lot? 

He started walkin’ on the back of my 

boots and then kept on a goin’ up my 

back where he did a little dance on the 

back of my head before headin’ for the 

Missouri breaks. That one still sticks out 

good enough to keep a hat where she 

belongs. 

There are several other ways to tell a 

real cowboy, too. One is by their tan line. 

It starts about an inch above their 

eyebrows and ends around three inches 

south of their chin. Other than a pair of 

tanned scarred up old hands, the rest of 

‘em looks sort of like the belly on a fish. I 

saw one ol’ boy get talked into gettin’ into 

a pair of those Bermuda shorts. Now that 

was a sight to behold. Those skinny little 

white bow legs were somethin’. Someone 

hollered at him, “Are those really yer legs, 

or are you standin’ on a chicken?” 

I just found out something that will take 

a little more checkin’ out, but if it holds 

true with a little more measuring, we finally 

may have a sure fire way to tell a real
