The 20 month old bulls run on pasture and are well grown out and in good condition without being fat. The quality is there, with length, depth and muscling, whether they are polled or horned Hereford. The bulls are offered for sale when they are 20 months of age. The bulls, whether polled or horned, are of uniform quality and are grown out with a good frame and sound feet and legs. Their conformation is correct with exceptional length of body, depth, volume and excellent length from the hooks to the pins. They are smooth shouldered with clean, masculine heads and ample pigmentation. They show muscle definition without the extra fat that a feedlot puts on them. The cowherd at Hawks Herefords is also the right type. Moderate sized, with length and volume, the

cows are feminine and matronly, and their bags are well placed with small teats. They are expected to produce for many years, just as any commercial operation would expect. Ed and Gloria’s two grown children, Bryan and Cindy, work in Sioux City, IA. Cindy and her husband Matt Nelson have two children, Mckenna, (4) and Parker (18 mo). Ed is encouraged that little Mckenna has a strong liking for Hereford cattle and likes being on the ranch.
