Watson Recognized by the American Hereford Association

Eddie Watson of Cabool was recently recognized by the American Hereford Association (AHA) for producing one cow named to the “Dams of Distinction” list. “These are the most efficient cows in the Hereford breed,” said Craig Huffhines, the organization’s executive secretary. They have met the strictest requirements for early calving, reproductive efficiency, calving intervals of no greater than one year and weaning weight ratios in the top end of the breeder’s herd. Some 1,903 cows in the United States were named to the prestigious list this year. A complete listing of the cows and breeders appears at http://www.hereford.org. An article reviewing the “Dams of Distinction” appears in the April issue of Hereford World magazine, the breed’s official publication.
