Yates History

Hereford Cattle have long been a part of the Yates Family.

DeAnn's mother showed the Champion Steer in Phoenix, Arizona,

in 1954, and Jody and his sisters were in the winners circle with Herefords throughout their show careers.

Our girls were fortunate to have a breed champion at a major

Texas show from Katie Jo's first year in 1989 until Samantha's

senior year in 2002.

We thank all the producers who made our lives more joyful by allowing us to show their cattle. Hopefully we can spread similar happiness to families who now purchase their Hereford cattle from us.

Best wishes and luck to you all.
