We had been looking for a bull like NJW 247C 41E Soul 173K to take our herd to the next level. A deal was struck to buy the Canadian semen rights interest in Soul from NJW well before we came to the decision to disperse our herd. A health issue has forced our decision, and this herd dispersal is a time of sadness for me, but also a feeling of accomplishment in the breeding herd we have put together. I am thankful to be involved with the great Hereford breed and the wonderful life long friendships made along the way, 60 plus years raising Herefords. We hope by sharing our herd you will find great opportunities. Cattle that will carry on and pay the bills. I will enjoy watching you succeed as you build your own herds. If I can help you with any questions you may have please give Jim Duke a call at (cell) 306-736-7921 or (home) 306-538-4556.
