Here at the American Hereford Association media day I got to eat Certified Hereford Beef and learn more about the program. The President of Certified Hereford Beef is Bill Cox. He’s a producer from Pomeroy, WA.
Bill says he loves the Hereford breed and I think you’ll hear that in my interview with him.

On Day Three of my recovery from my quadruple by-pass surgery, my partner in the next bed, who was going home that day, received a visitor who had the same surgery several years back.
