2025 HEREFORD CONSIGNORS:
Stephenson Herefords
We are excited to be joining the Northwest Hereford Breeders Sale for our 11th year! We are a small, 4th generation, family-owned operation located in beautiful Lemhi Valley of Salmon, Idaho. The Stephenson family started in Utah and moved to the Salmon Valley around 1980 to run Hereford cattle. For the past 20 years we have been working on developing our own herd focusing on a highly maternal cow that can produce a calf with growth and carcass. Along with our two children, Brooke and John, we are currently running about 140 mother cows. We run a mix of registered Herefords and a commercial group with Red Angus influence. We raise registered Hereford bulls and registered and commercial replacement heifers. We primarily sell our bulls through private-treaty and have partnered with Hirsche Herefords in Canada the past 4 years. This year we are pleased to bring 12 of our prime commercial Red Angus/Hereford replacement heifers to the sale. We look forward to seeing you in March!
Wagenblast Richardson Ranch
Wagenblast Richardson Ranch is owned and operated by Vicki Wagenblast and her son-in-law and daughter, Jim Kiley and Becky Richardson. The Wagenblast family has been farming and ranching in Oregon for the last 173 years, and we are proud to continue our ranching heritage as we expand and develop our own registered Hereford and AQHA herds on our ranch outside Lexington, Oregon. We are selling both yearling and two year old bulls at the sale, range ready bulls with proven pedigrees. We are excited to offer these bulls and look forward to meeting you on sale day.
Wilcox and Family Cattle Co
A long history of Herefords exists with the Wilcox family as Marty’s grandparents immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1900’s, homesteading in central Montana and ran commercial Hereford cows. Our ranch headquarters was purchased in 1992 and is located in Spangle, Washington which is just outside of Spokane. The family part of the operation includes Marty and Shannon and his sons Matthew and Derrick and wife Jessica. We raise purebred top quality Hereford seed stock with heavy emphasis on the use of AI & Embryo transplant. We also sell show quality heifers and steers. Our cattle herd is focused on balanced traits, with cattlemen minded profitability, and sorted on a competitive phenotype. We have shown our cattle at major Hereford shows; however, we don’t breed show cattle rather we show production cattle. Our family has been a consignor at the Northwest Hereford Breeders Sale, periodically, since the first sale in 2009.
Bird Herefords
Herefords have always been a part of Lynda and Dave’s life, growing up on Hereford cattle ranches in eastern Oregon and are 4th generation Hereford breeders. We are blessed to live in beautiful, but unrelenting Pine Valley, gateway to Hells Canyon. Summers are ideal for cattle although temperatures range in the 90’s and winters can be long and harsh reaching -30 degrees and snow of 3 feet or more. The cattle are run on irrigated pastures and fed only grass hay which we produce ourselves. In 1978 we started our herd with cattle purchased from Oveson Herefords. Currently we run 80 cows with Lynda’s sister, Cheryl Thomas, also having cows in our herd. Early on cattle were shown and sold at Reno, the Cow Palace, the NILE and Denver; however since 1980 we have also participated in consignment sales. We AI extensively selecting sires that produce strong functional bulls with exceptional EPD’s and good carcass numbers. We have consigned bulls all 17 years to the NWHB bull sale.
