It was great to see many of you at the Illinois State Fair this past weekend. As always, the Hereford Breed was well represented in the open and junior shows! You will see more news from the State Fair in the next issue of the Illinois Hereford Bulletin (later this fall).
The reason for this email is to again encourage anyone that is planning to attend the dinner at Perks Ranch during the Hereford Tour on Saturday, August 30th to RSVP with me as soon as possible. The reservation deadline is quickly approaching and if we don't have an RSVP from you, we won't have a meal waiting for you.
I look forward to receiving your RSVP soon and to see you on the Northern Illinois Hereford Tour! More Tour Information: Mark your calendars for August 30th and 31st because this will be a Hereford event you don't want to miss!
Right now, there are two key items that are time sensitive relative to the tour:
#1) Hotel room blocks - they rooms no longer be held under our blocks after July 30th. Please make your reservations as soon as possible. Here is the hotel information:
Holiday Inn - Rockford, IL - 815.398.2200
Hampton Inn - Rockford, IL - 815.229.0404
#2) Dinner RSVPs - on Saturday night, August 30th we are having a CHB steak dinner sponsored by the Perks Family and the Illinois Polled Hereford Association. In order to ensure we have enough steaks, we need to have your RSVPs in no later than August 18th; however, the earlier the better. You can simply reply to this email to RSVP, or, cut out and fill out the RSVP form in the Bulletin

Adcock Wins Supreme at Illinois State Fair State fair season is in full swing and the Hereford breed took the spotlight at the Illinois State Fair this past week. Tamar Adcock, Assumption, Ill., exhibited the supreme champion female over all breeds in the junior show. The winning heifer, BH L7 Connor 723 by MSU Lawyer L7, was just recently selected reserve national champion polled owned female at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Kansas City. Adcock’s winning did not stop with the supreme heifer, she went on to exhibit the supreme champion cow-calf pair in the junior show. ROF BH Vixen 226S ET and her bull calf sired by NPH Stocker 10H were the winning duo. Congratulations Tamar for reigning supreme with Herefords at the Illinois State Fair! |
