STAR LAKECATTLE RANCH

Don Yoesel, Falls City, Neb., was selected the 2007 Hereford Herdsman of the Year at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver.

Yoesel grew up showing Herefords in Nebraska and on the national level. He now farms with his family in southeast Nebraska and northeast Kansas.

Yoesel got his start in the polled Hereford business in the late ’70s when he purchased a heifer from Jim and Sue Rowland of G&R Polled Herefords, Marysville, Kan.

Yoesel’s love for Herefords and his talent as a fitter has taken him from the East to the West Coast and from Canada to Florida helping Hereford breeders prepare their cattle for exhibition and sale.

Yoesel has also gone to South America to prepare cattle for the showring. Yoesel’s resume of clients

and his years in the business are proof of his dedication and commitment as a fitter and to the Hereford breed.
