Ontario Hereford cattle are dominating the show ring this fall! Cleaning up from fair to fair with overall Supremes all breeds in the bull and female side at multiple shows.
The 100th anniversary of the Royal Winter Fair was a huge success. The National committee held countless meetings and it showed. Thank you to all who helped organize, plan and execute the 2022 National Hereford show, your hard work has not gone unnoticed. Thank you to all who sponsored without you we would not be able to make such an event a success. The cattle, exhibitors and breeders were so well represented and it truly was a first-class show. Congratulations to all who competed. The exhibitors brought out such high quality of cattle to the National Hereford Show. The breed truly showed how deep of a breed it is with the Supreme Champion Female of the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Winter Fair coming from the Hereford division, as well two Hereford bulls making the top 5 on their side of the Masterfeeds Supreme Championship As the breeding stock and show cattle quality gets deeper, it only makes all attributes of the breed improve. We have been seeing this in the Ontario stockyards this fall, as the Hereford and Hereford influence cattle are selling extremely well and the stocker market is at a steady high from week to week. As this is happening in the stock yards the fall sale run in the purebred Hereford sales was exceptionally strong with new and old breeders jumping in and getting some of the best genetics around. This all shows that HEREFORDS are gunning for all the other breeds in full force and are here to compete in the sales barn
Congratulations to everyone on another success year in the cattle business. Happy New Year!
