Welcome to our annual sale!

Dear Customers,

What a great time to be in the cattle business! The last year has brought many challenges and blessings our way. Starting back in March 2022, our sale was a big success with cattle going to 7 states. Calving and breeding season went very smooth, then mother nature decided to turn off the rain. The herd maintained well in pasture and the calves performed nicely, yet we were forced to wean and drylot in August until cornstalks opened up. One of the biggest highlights of the year was Cody and Katie’s wedding in August. In January we headed west to Denver for the NWSS. This trip was the first time we were invited to be in the National Sale. We are excited to report the pick of our pen was sold to Broadlawn farms in Mississippi. As always, we had a great time reconnecting with fellow Hereford breeders from across the country while we were in Denver. We returned home to more snow, a combined total of 40 inches (and counting) so far. The moisture is much needed, however the snow has made preparing for the sale challenging.

This year, we will again have a selection of Valley Creek Ranch bulls and heifers on our sale. It has been a blessing working with the McGee Family and incorporating their genetics into our operation. This partnership has established a wonderful opportunity for our customers to have a diverse offering in one sale.

February 18th we will be hosting an open house at our calving facility east of Clearwater, NE on HWY 275. We will be serving certified Hereford prime rib for lunch with plenty of refreshments. This is a great opportunity to see every hoof of the Kester Herefords program. Spring cows, fall pairs, herd bulls, and sale cattle will all be on display.

If you are unable to make our open house February 18th we will have videos posted on our website, kesterherefords.com, as well as, DVAuction.com prior to our sale. Feel free to call us or stop by to talk Hereford cattle!

We look forward to seeing you soon!
