PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
The Secret of Success
In 1997, the first registered Black Hereford bull was born on John Gage’s Blue Jacket Farm near Eudora, Kansas. The bull was named BJH Balder 7504 and carried the Black Hereford registry number HB000001. Before forming the Black Hereford organization, John Gage was a polled Hereford breeder. This first bull and his progeny have served the new breed well by providing outstanding growth, low birth and moderate milk.

The American Rancher
New cattle breeds don’t come around often, but when they do, the first question that will be asked is “what value does the breed offer to an already competitive beef genetics environment”?
