K7 Herefords Production Sale

16th ANNUAL PRODUCTION SALE

Thursday, March 16, 2023

1 p.m. at the Farm

Selling 28 Bulls and 28 Heifers

Greetings everyone,

It was a Doris Day’s song that comes to mind for me today. “Que’ Sera’, Sera’ What ever will be, will be. The future is not ours to see Que’ Sera’, Sera’.” I know this song makes me very old to remember but these words are SO TRUE today also. With words like Pandemic, COVID, global warming, the new normal - are all descriptive words that we hear ALL the time. Can we change any of this? Well perhaps, a little, we should be concerned, Yes. Yet it will be what it will be! PERIOD. What we can do is be good stewards of the land, raise and be humane to our livestock, kind to our neighbors, love your family and Praise our Higher Power!

Having said this, we continue to move forward and perfect our cattle production.  At K7 we have had time, challenges, trial, and error to help us to raise a better animal. I (Jo) myself have had Hereford cattle since 1973, when my parents bought their 1st Polled Hereford herd (Marimill Farm). I have been active with the cattle ever since. Tom started with a 4-H project, in 1968 he bought his 1st purebred Hereford cow. As 4-H projects can be, it got out of control, or so Tom says. Over 50 years each and 43 years together we have had an interesting journey thus far.

Today we are offering another great selection of cattle. With the hot, dry summer and grass very short, we as many of our fellow cattlemen were faced with a choice of how to balance feed rations with the quantity of animals. The end result was a deep cut of “expendable” cattle, we had to go very deep (the cut went far deeper than we preferred) to send more calves and cows to the feedlot. Yet with this environmental challenge YOU can take advantage, we only kept our top end of cattle. This also presented us with a new learning experience by putting a select number of animals into a feed out program. As the data came back to us, we were very pleased with how our cattle did.

Come for lunch and see (taste) what is cooking…. as of this moment I am not sure what is for lunch sale day. Que’ Sera’, Sera’ If you have any special request, please feel free to call me and I will see what we can make happen. As always if you can’t make it in person, please join us on DV Auction.

Thank you for your interest, K7 Herefords and Veeser Triple E.
