Texas cattle producer Lee Haygood is a board member of the American Hereford Association. He chairs the breed improvement committee which he says is a busy committee but he thinks it’s fun.

Lee says the committee oversees the research projects like those we learned about today. He says the industry needs to get more efficient and that the Hereford breed can help accomplish that. So the Heterosis project which we got the first year results of this morning is one that he thinks is key.

As a producer he thinks projects like it will document what they already know but that will attract people back to the breed. He thinks they’re raising the best product they have in years.
