Nolan Herefords is proud to sponsor and donate a heifer in the Texas Hereford Heritage Pen Sale during the Fort Worth Stock Show, Saturday, January 30th at 1 pm. We hope you’ll support these great lots online or in person that directly support the association.

Thank you for you donation of a heifer to the THA Heritage Pen Fundraiser, Nolan Hereford Ranch.

Nolan Herford has been raising quality registered Hereford cattle since 1998 in Gilmer Texas. Primary a seed stock producer, Nolan Herefords runs over 200 head annually with cattle sold by private treaty and at the annual Texas Hereford Sale in Buffalo, Texas.

Scott, Alise, Ilissa, Bethany and Audrey Nolan along with the ranch and herd manager Steve Decker have raised and shown many champions at state stock shows that they are very proud of. Most significantly Nolan Herefords raised a bred and owned Grand Champion at the Fort Worth Jr. Stock Show during Audrey's show career. They have also raised Grand Champions at the State Fair of Texas and Houston Livestock Junior Shows along with multiple division winners at national open shows.

Giving back to the Texas Hereford Association and its members is paramount to the Nolan family from years of roles in leadership for their daughters and themselves that have made them realize the impact the association and its members have had on their lives. The donation to the Heritage Pen is yet another way they can further the mission of the Texas Hereford association and continue their involvement with a breed that has done so much in their lives.

Our Ilissa Nolan had her dream wedding beside the lake at our home - Nolan Hereford Ranch last night. We are over the moon with happiness for them and welcome our new son-in-law Josh Little and his son Jameson - now our grandson - aka Deckhand - to our family! We cannot thank our daughters Bethany Nolan, Audrey Nolan, Ricky Holloway, our ranch manager Steve Decker, and all our fabulous vendors for their help along perfectly beautiful displays of florals, southern foods, music, Karoake after party, and thank God for this union, the green grass Scott watered daily and the weather!

Ilissa’s wedding vision came to life with her attention to detail and beautiful touches at every single spot at the beautiful wedding. Scott and I loved being a part of the planning and prep, but if you know our Ilissa, she as always put together one heck of an event!

Thank you to all our family and friends who came from across the US and Texas to celebrate with us. We love you all and cannot wait to see the future of Ilissa, Josh and Jameson. 💍💐

From personal experience over three years ago, our family knows how long it takes to reciver from catastrophic weather related storms. Our fellow Americans need our help now and in the future.

Letter below shared by dear friend Beth Blinson whose communities and state have been deeply damaged by Hurricane Helene when I asked how we could help. Her husband headed the North Carolina’s Cattleman’s until retirement last year and is helping in the front lines feeding first responders. If you are wanting a reputable place to send money and help, or even go volunteer, please read below.

**********************

Good afternoon,

We are amazed but not surprised by gracious offerings for fellow farmers impacted by Hurricane Helene. Our staff is working closely with the N.C. Department of Agriculture to support response efforts. Once we know the full extent of the damages, we will also be engaging with our state and congressional representatives to advocate for help.

The N.C. Cattlemen’s Association is accepting donations that will be remitted to support recovery efforts through trusted organizations. If you would like to make a donation, please make your check payable to NC Cattlemen’s Association, 2228 N Main Street, Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526 and include in the memo- Hurricane Helene Response. Please note that NCCA will not be able to provide a charitable donation receipt.

The NC Baptists on Mission also has the capability to accept donations and coordinate volunteers to help those effected by Hurricane Helene. Donations can be accepted through their website Baptists on Mission - Donations. If you would like to make a donation by check, please make your check payable to

NC Baptists on Mission
PO Box 1107
Cary, NC 27512

Their NC Disaster Relief is funded primarily by donations. 100% of your designated gift will be used in disaster relief efforts.

You must designate that the funds are designated for Hurricane Helene Response- Agriculture Needs if that is your intent or it will go to their general response fund.

If you are interested in volunteering to support recovery efforts we encourage you to work through their volunteer program at
Baptists on Mission - Get Involved.
Support will be needed for the coming months to help the western region of our state recover from this devastating storm. We encourage those that have expertise on farms to designate “agriculture” in the skills support section when completing the volunteer engagement form.

As North Carolina farmers, we are no stranger to disaster and hardship. By combining our efforts, we can rebuild our farming communities.
