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.

UPCOMING EVENTS & DATES

From the Gohr family: “The Hereford breed has been a special part of our family and Gohr Cattle for many years. Some of our greatest memories, proudest moments, and closest friendships have come from showing Herefords and being a part of this incredible community we like to call our “Hereford Family.” This breed has given our family opportunities and experiences that we could never put a price on, so being able to give something back means a great deal to us. This year, we are proud to donate 50% of the proceeds from the sale of this heifer to the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA). We hope our small contribution can help give the next generation of Hereford kids the same opportunities, memories, and love for this breed that we’ve been so fortunate to experience.”

The Gohr Cattle Crown Jewel Event Sale will take place on Sept. 26 at 4 p.m. PT, held at the Gohr ranch in Madras Ore.

By investing in the next generation, the program helps develop future breeders, strengthen the breed and support the long-term growth of the Hereford industry. Each year, select National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) or young American Hereford Association (AHA) members will be awarded a pregnant recipient female carrying elite Hereford genetics, along with two embryos of the same genetics. These genetics will be sourced from top donor females and matings provided by industry-leading breeders and partners. This opportunity will provide voung cattlemen and women with foundation genetics to begin or grow their Hereford herd, while also encouraging lona-term engagement in the breed.
