We are proud to recognize Rafael Contreras, Heavy Equipment Operator, as the annual Dr. Portillo Award recipient!
With 24 years of dedicated service at HFC, Rafael’s career reflects hard work, loyalty, and pride in everything he does.
The Dr. Portillo Award is named in honor of Dr. Thomas Portillo, a longtime veterinarian at Harris Ranch Feeding Company and a true model in the beef industry. Known for his passion, unwavering dedication, and genuine care for the cattle, Dr. Portillo’s legacy continues to inspire us. It is an honor to celebrate team members like Rafael who embody these same values and commitment to excellence.
