"More Vigor"

http://www.hereford.org/static/files/0812_MoreVigor.pdf

Stumbling upon this article in my favorite magazine/newspaper, I realized how much it spoke to me about my dream job. The newspaper article is solely about how a man and his brother started a partnership with another farm. Together, the two farms found ways to create outstanding genetics from two rival breeds, Angus and Hereford. When they started to use Hereford bulls, they noticed a higher performance in vigor, reproduction, and longevity. They were very impressed with their results.



As a formal and soon to be future Hereford breeder, this article spoke to me about how blessed I am to be using Hereford genetics. The way that Denton draws the audience, those within the cattle industry, into this article by her ways of crediting the farmers really made me confident in my choice of cattle. The way Denton uses facts, history, and top named farms gives her the credibility that is needed to keep cattle breeders such as myself interested in continuing to read.

  1. I love how enthusiastic and determined you are about what you want to do. I am still unsure of what I envision as my dream job, so it is refreshing to see such confidence. It is fascinating to see into the cattle business by how you view it. I hope one day I am as passionate about a job as you are! You have a great blog! Good luck for the future!

  2. I also have grown up on a beef cattle farm, and we also raise herefords. Having grown up on the farm i will never be able to get away from it. I didn't realize that herefords had traits like that made them stand out from others. Its nice to see that your really passionate about what you want to do in life and I hope you have great success at being a hereford breeder!
