Darrell’s father purchased the Sutor Darrell Sutor brother’s main ranch headquarters in 1938, and the family moved to the ranch and created Sutor Hereford Farms. In 1943 Darrell married Joy Jennings.

The Sutors showed the 1966 champion Hereford bull, SHF True Onward 44, in the newly built Houston Astrodome.

Growing up in the ’30s, Bob Gordon Bob loved the country lifestyle and farm life, and at an early age, he had a dream of becoming a registered livestock breeder. Bob’s family moved to Souris, Manitoba, in 1955 to the Hume farm, which became their homestead. He married Joyce Honeyman of Hayfield in 1959. In the ’70s, the Hereford herd was established when his children’s love for showing cattle developed. Bob strongly
believed in youth, and during his role as director on the Canadian Hereford Association board, he initiated the formation of the Canadian Junior Hereford Association (CJHA) and hosted the inaugural CJHA event at Kinnaber on Aug. 12, 1979.
