The Oklahoma Hereford Association Award:
Breeder of the Year 2008/09
Langford Herefords
We were thrilled and surprised by this honor,
voted on by our fellow Oklahoma Hereford Breeders.
Thank you, thank you, OHA!
***************************************************************************************
Our Bull Sales Have Been Terrific. We appreciate each and every buyer/visitor
that comes across our cattleguard. Sincere Thank You's to all our buyers.
Good Words of Encouragement from Repeat Buyers:
Buck Farms, Grandview, TX: " You have been so helpful to us as "new
ranchers". Because of your guidance and advice, we have been able to
establish a first class cow/calf operation, and your bulls are the basis for
our operation."
"Really good calves this year outta your bulls, so we came back to get some
more bulls," B N B Ranch.
"Your bulls upped my calves weaning weights 50 pounds!", Larry Goff
Tony Kendrick, "Come see my calves sometime. I've got Cracker Jack
calves out of your bulls."
Posey's bought a group of heifers from us last year, and they reported the
heifers sure did good.
"I'll be back in the spring to get another Langford Hereford bull," Mr. Storey
said.
Now that's music to our ears...and it's what keeps us focused on raising the
very best Herefords you can buy anywhere.
Raising good bulls for our new and repeat progressive cattlemen customers
is what keeps us in business and adds pounds to the calves, and profits for
our customers. Thank you Thank you for all your feedback, we appreciate it
greatly.

--from the Texas Cattle Feeders Assoc. Newsletter:
"Eating Beef Is A Smart Idea" Vitamin B12, a nutrient found in beef, might
protect against brain volume loss, according to a study by the University of
Oxford.
Published in the journal Neurology , the study found that people with higher
B12 levels were six times less likely to experience brain shrinkage compared
to those with lower levels in their blood.
That's one thing less to worry about...Brain Shrinkage....nope, I sure don't
need any of that type of shrinkage...
Just 3 oz. of lean beef provides 37% of the Vitamin B-12 we need every day.

Langford Realty Suzy Langford, Broker "Your Country Living Connection" |
We're proud of the 4-H and FFA students
who have purchased show heifers from us
this year. The County and District shows ...so far our
heifers have won Breed Champion or Reserve
Champion in Okmulgee, Wagoner, Haskell, and
Muskogee. Grand Champion Heifer in Okmulgee,
Reserve Grand Champion Heifer in Haskell. And now the
OK City Spring Show is history and Langford heifers had
a really good day -- all placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their
classes. Good Job !!!
We're sure proud of these students and their families for
the top job they've done with Langford Hereford heifers.
Hereford heifers make a wonderful family project,
develop lasting memories and produce calves that help
many students with college funds.
Congratulations to all of you showing this year!
We invite you to visit and see our new ET heifer calves ...
just now weaning this set of exciting embryo fall calves.
We're pretty sure there are some show winners in this
group !!

Another satisfied repeat customer
was here this week. He wanted another young bull. He
feeds out his calves and sells halves of beef to folks that
work with him at a manufacturing plant nearby.
He said the calves out of our bulls that he bought a
couple of years ago fed out better, and got ready quicker.
Feed Efficiency is one of the important economic
traits where Herefords excel. Fewer days on feed
required to get them ready for the packer. And if you feed
your calves yourself or take them to a feedlot and retain
ownership..Good Hereford feed efficiency means more
money in your pocket !

Demand Increases
Hereford Cattle are in great demand now across the nation and around the world as cattlemen learn of Hereford's efficiency in the feedlot,
increased fertility and added pounds from heiterosis for the cow/calf operators.
Hereford's docile nature and ease of handling benefit all segments of the cattle industry. The A-I Centers around the nation report
increased sales for Hereford bulls.
