Clint Rusk is the new Head of the Ag Dept. at
Oklahoma State University.
He is looking forward
to visiting Cattle Producers around the state and
announced plans for a faculty bus tour to see all the
progress and problems facing Ag producers.
Welcome to Oklahoma, Clint !!

Watson attended the World Hereford Council
Show and Meetings July 14th, in Calgary, Alberta.
He was in the right place and the right time and got
to go to the
100th Calgary Stampede with Doug and
Wade Perks!
He's still talking about it!!

Watson met Hereford breeders from around the
globe in Calgary! Hereford cattle adapt and thrive on
every continent! And he enjoyed seeing the cattle at
the show as well as his visits to Little Poplar Grove,
& Harvie Herefords. Bet I'm leaving out alot ... he
had a great time.                                  

And My oh My...
The Hereford Junior Nationals in Grand Island, NE,
was absolutely sensational.
The whole program was outstanding.
The depth of excellence in the cattle was just
breath-taking!


The PRIDE Conference was held in
East Lansing, MI.   July 29 - August 2, 2012
Cash and I truly enjoyed being part of this special
week of tours, fun and leadership training.

Been hearing from bull buyers... We always want to
hear how our bulls are working for folks. And boy
we've been getting some wonderful feedback.

Our bulls are staying in good shape even in these
hot dry conditions. And folks are sure proud of their
calves. Just today heard from another happy
Langford Bull Buyer and how good their calves are
and what good shape their bulls stay in.

Makes everything worthwhile when we hear from
cow/calf producers that our bulls are making a
difference in their programs.

Langford Hereford Bulls are
Putting More Pounds on the Ground
in Producer's Pastures !!

Watson has been invited to Judge the National
Hereford Trials at Expogan in Chihuahua
,
May 2013. And they have invited him to judge
several other breeds too.

He is honored to be selected and looks forward to
meeting and visiting with fellow Hereford Producers
in Mexico.

May, 2013:

The Ponds are Full...Hallelujah !!!  I mean, this is the best news in months!!!

We've had frequent grass showers, drizzles, mists and been "even" with the normal rainfall
since the first of the year. But hadn't had any "toad stringers", "gully washers", or real down
pours to "run" water into the ponds.

So thankful for the big rains we got and the ponds are glistening in the sunshine, and the
grass is growing.

Been selling, sorting, shipping open and bred heifers to points south and east. Lots of
papers for me to transfer! And we appreciate each and every "looker/caller" and buyer!

Herefords are on a roll.
All the strong Hereford traits: Good Disposition, Good Feed Conversion, and Fertile, Sound
Structured long lasting Bulls are making a positive economic impact for our Buyers. Plus, you
get that famous Baldie calf that eveyone wants.

We have 150 Bulls ready for service now. We sell bulls every day all year long. So if you get
one of your herd bulls injured and need a replacement, just call and come by.

And we do still have a select group of fall heifers for sale. They are sure good looking heifers!
Plus a group of Langford Hi-Bred Heifers you'll want to see too.
Call, stop by. See our cattle. Visit soon!   Office Phone: 918-733-1331
