Many Thanks I cannot begin to thank you all for the love and support you have shown since my father s passing in August. My father loved Hereford cattle for many reasons, but most of all because of the people raising them! He also instilled that love for Herefords in me. I know without a doubt he is up there nodding in agreement as we speak! On behalf of my family, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to you all. Sara Casteel & family Thank you to the Iowa Hereford people for the card following Carl s passing. Come see me sometime. Mary Wagner Thank you, Iowa Hereford Breeders Association, for my county fair award for my steer. I am proud to represent the Hereford Association at my county fair.
