STATE TOUR –
WHAT A GREAT EVENT!
Hereford enthusiasts were treated to an exciting
state tour in the Southeast district this fall. The tour
kicked off on Saturday, September 8th, at the Chet and
Kathy Lininger Farm near Burlington. The tour then
traveled to the Paul and Sylvia Baker Farm near
Elkhorn. The final tour stop Saturday was at the Eldon
and Donna Stanton Farm, Whitewater, where a
delicious Certified Hereford Beef dinner was served.
The tour resumed Sunday morning at C&L Ranch,
home of Steve and Jill Folkman, Ixonia. The next stop
was just down the road at the Mike and Dawn Peters
Farm, also in Ixonia. Gary and Marilyn Reinke,
Johnson Creek, hosted the last tour stop Sunday noon.
Many thanks and our gratitude goes out to these
Hereford families for sponsoring this year’s Genetic
Focus Tour. Next year’s event will take place in the
southwest part of the state.

2007 ROYALTY…
A NOTE FROM YOUR POLL-ETTE PRESIDENT…
Another year draws near and we find there is time to relax and reflect on
the year’s accomplishments and successes and /or the lack of. This year of
2007 has almost completely gone by.
I know many of us are enjoying a time of gathering with family and
friends for the holidays. My family wishes each and everyone of you a
blessed and joyful holiday season along with a happy and prosperous New
Year! Anew year is a great time to try new ideas, new programs, make
some improvements, whether it’s in our family operation, breeding
programs, herd management or our outlook on life. Change can be for the
better. Our association in my opinion is in for some changes. This will be
for the better, we hope. There are some changes that I think we need to
address, so, I encourage each and every one of you to attend the annual
meeting at Wintergreen Conference Center on Feb. 2, 2008. The Poll-ette
Annual Meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Major topics of discussion will be our
direction, queen (royalty) program, dues and membership, election of
officers, our relationship as Poll-ettes with Hereford Women and many
more topics. I look forward to visiting with you all.
With winter here, a warming way to pass those cold chilling evenings is
to take time to ponder and consider thinking about next year’s breeding
programs. Great is good, but there are better (better bulls - bloodlines-
programs- etc.) out there. Yes, I am aware that old Billy Bob is a good bull,
he has a lot of good calves, but he can be replaced with a better herd sire
or two. What can it hurt?
Gosh, Denver is almost here! I know Katie Wilcox is getting excited. She
will be representing Wisconsin in the National Polled Hereford Queen
Competition. Good luck, Katie! We want you to have fun, smile and be
yourself. We are proud of you! Those of you showing and going to Denver, Thank you to everyone who generously contributed
I hope the weather is better than last year- yet we remember it is winter so to the Wisconsin queen/princess program. If you or

in the state and of course, our State Queen. I’m not going to kid you, there
is some work, travel, events and meetings. But there is also a lot of good
people, knowledge and cattle to meet, greet and see. Also, it’s a fun way to
build experience on a resume. You will gain knowledge and confidence,
along with long lasting relationships. I can speak form experience, I was a
WI Polled Hereford Princess from 1976-1978.

Thank you for taking your time to visit with me awhile. Tom’s calling me
