BUILD THE FUTURE

The Four Pillars

These four pillars are the motivation behind all fundraising efforts, creating and developing growth in the next generation of Hereford breeders and cultivating leaders who will be instruments in next steps in research for the industry.

Scholarships

The Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) work together to provide opportunities for our breed’s future leaders so that they may excel in their college and career paths, strengthening this industry and the breed.

Education

The foundation holds fast to their mission of scholarship, leadership and education by providing programs that not only showcase the junior’s talents, but build leaders and prepare them for a bright future in the beef industry and beyond.

Education at the Forefront

Research

The Hereford Research Foundation was established in 2009 as a division of the Hereford Youth Foundation of America, a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization, to support breed improvement projects outside the scope of the American Hereford Association (AHA) budget.

UPCOMING EVENTS & DATES

Next up in this fall’s Foundation 1 Campaign is a special opportunity in this outstanding young donor being offered by Dry Creek Farms and Chapman Land & Cattle. The St. John and Chapman families teamed up to purchase this 2024 HYFA lot at the National Hereford Sale in Oklahoma City. And now is the time for C&L Miss Cece H49 3L ET to pay it forward and give back again to the junior program and Hereford Youth Foundation of America. This excellent young donor prospect is backed by a donor that needs no instruction to the breed, Salsa, and she is a paternal sister to the ever-popular Loewen Sandhill L70 ET.

One-half of the sale proceeds from Lot 30 will be donated to the Hereford Youth Foundation of America, Foundation 1 Campaign.

C&L Miss Cece H49 3L ET sells open and ready to flush or breed. The Dry Creek Farms 5th Annual Production Sale will take place on Nov. 8 at 12 p.m. CT, held in Pell City, Ala.
