NEBRASKANS FOR HEREFORD
HERITAGE, INC
ABOUT
In the fall of 2018, Nebraskans for Hereford Heritage completed the process of incorporating and attaining tax free designation as a 501(c) (3) entity, following a four-year effort by current and former Hereford breeders. This begins the process of preserving the rich history of Hereford cattle and Hereford breeders from our state.
Our goal is to preserve this heritage for future generations by establishing a Nebraska Hereford Heritage Museum. The membership of this organization has demonstrated there is a sustainable interest in keeping this history alive and sharing it with others, especially with those who care about Nebraska's beef industry.

About
ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Honored eleven families or prominent Nebraskans who have made major contributions to the breed and the state.
Commissioned four pieces of artwork commemorating the role of some of the landmark bulls within Nebraska's beef industry.
Hosted five successful dinner events - in Thedford, Alliance, Taylor, Mullen, and Broken Bow - which included displays of memorabilia from numerous ranches and breeding operations.
Created a major exhibit that is a significant attraction at the Sandhills Heritage Museum in Dunning, NE.
