Kansas Hereford Association
Kansas……what a great place to live and raise Hereford cattle. Ranked number four in Hereford registrations in the nation, Kansas is rich in Hereford heritage. Whether it’s in the Arikara breaks in the northwest, the Ozark country of the southeast, the high plains of western Kansas or the rolling hills in the northeast part of the state, Herefords adapt very well and thrive in all of the settings Kansas has to offer. Kansas is also known for large feed yards and being the hub of cattle harvesting for the entire United States. Hereford cattle have also proven their worth in those arenas as well, with high performance marks and carcass quality that rivals all other breeds. So once again the proven worth of Kansas Herefords is second to none.
So take a little time and look through the cattle offered in Kansas via our webpage. You will see breeding programs from the Flint Hills, the Smoky Hills, Post Rock Country, the Sand Hills, the High Plains, and all the other environments of our great state. One thing for sure, the quality will be high. If you’re looking for performance, carcass quality, fertility, efficiency, or show ring, you’ve come to the right spot.
Our members are all listed in the directory that is posted here and you will also find our publication the Hereford Headliner.
The Kansas Hereford Association is all about the promotion and market enhancement of Hereford cattle. This is done through our publications listed here and in many other ways as well. Over the years the KHA has been at the forefront of promoting Herefords. We have done this through the sponsorship and management of the National Hereford Feedout (now being managed by AHA), numerous shows including the State Fair, Kansas Beef Expo, NJHA, and our KJHA Extra junior show, sponsorship of several commercial sales and feeder calf and commercial breeding cattle sales.Our members have been strong participants at the national level with both our men and women members rising to high levels on the boards of both the American Hereford Association and the American Hereford Women, including presidents of both. Our youth have also been very influential in the national junior activities with several serving on that board as well as National Hereford Queen and being strong in the management of the National Junior Shows.
This just goes to show the high quality of not only the Hereford cattle displayed through this webpage, but also the people that raise them. Take time to go through our member listing and learn more about the KHA. Thank you.
