Kansas Hereford Tour at PBU

The K-State Purebred Beef Unit hosted the 2024 Kansas Hereford Tour lunch stop on Sunday, August 11. More than 100 Hereford breeders and enthusiasts attended the event hosted at the Stanley Stout Center.

PBU had donors, ET Calves and a group of cow-calf pairs on display including prospects for the 2025 Legacy Sale. Following time looking at the cattle, attendees enjoyed lunch and Call Hall Ice Cream. Chris Mullinix welcomed attendees, Dr. Dave Nichols shared a construction update and PBU Manager Shane Werk explained the unit’s goals and purpose and invited attendees back in March for the 2025 Legacy Sale.

Thank you to the sponsors who helped make the meal possible including Valley Vet, Elanco, Manhattan Commission Co., Briggs Auto, Cross Country Genetics, KABSU, Fronteir Farm Credit, KanEquip and Rezac Livestock Commission Co.
