Black Hereford

More today with Mike Hamilton in Madison County.

We talked hay yesterday with Mike and the hay auction season coming up for Hamilton Hay Auction, but the Hamilton family involved with Black Hereford cattle, and they're looking for a good fall, and an open house coming up on the farm this weekend.

We got involved in the, with the Black Herefords approximately 15 years ago.

We've grown, uh, grown to where we're producing a lot of purebred Black Herefords now.

And seven years ago, the Hamilton family, we started putting on a sale, uh, in the fall up at the Brent Lauderman's sale barn up in Carthage, Illinois, and we had it there a year, and then we joined forces with, uh, some friends of ours from, uh, down by Jeff City, Missouri, the Schroeder family, and we moved it to Lebanon, Missouri, and we've had sales there up until this year, and the, the place that we was having it at, Wall Street Cattle Company, it sold.

And so we're, this year we're gonna be down at Stratford, Missouri at the Chapel Sales Arena.

Our grandkids, they can walk through them, and they don't try to run over them or nothing.

And, and, uh, then we also like the heterosis, the gain.
