HISTORY OF THE HEREFORD HERD
They embarked on a search to look for breeding that could improve their situation. After two years, they concluded that the best Herefords went back to Canadian bloodlines. Well, the rest is history. They made scores of trips to Canada, decided to get into the seed stock business, and bought Canadian Herefords, including the Jim Hole cowherd, acknowledged by many to be the best in Canada. They were careful not to buy animals who had a dose of small U.S. breeding which was the vogue for several years. This cowherd ended up being the largest group of imported cows in the U.S. with the biggest individuals anywhere. The imported bulls were the largest in the U.S., so they could breed to accomplish goals other than size alone, which has so greatly occupied the efforts Listening has paid off in grand fashion. Their production bull sales were unmatched in the world and they were widely recognized as being the top Hereford breeders producing for the commercial cowman. They spared no effort or expense in their quest to raise the very best Herefords.
