Ep 11-Part 2- Board of Directors Interviews

I rounded out interviews with American Black Hereford Board of Directors candidates Bobbi Peters, Matt Bolte and Chad Jones.

Ep 11-Part 1- Board of Directors Interviews

The American Black Hereford Board of Directors election is quickly approaching. Electronic ballots will go out early next month and seats will be placed at the national meeting in Kansas City in October. I visited with candidates Jacob Smith and Mark Ipsen in part one of the interviews. Hear what they have to say about the association and the breed.

EP 10- Brazilian Black Herefords with Taue Nunez

Taue is probably one of the most enthusiastic breeders I've had the pleasure of visiting with. He's working tirelessly to bring the breed to Brazil, facing challenges that many of us can't imagine including needing government approval for a registry. Give it a listen and see if you can help him out.
