Sandhill Farms was honored with the 2010 Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Seedstock Producer of the Year award during the 2010 BIF Annual Meeting and Research Symposium June 30. Outstanding seedstock operations in the U.S. and Canada have been awarded this honor annually since 1972.
A fifth generation, family-owned and operated Hereford seedstock business, Sandhill Farms is located in south central Kansas near Haviland.
Currently managed by Kevin and Vera Schultz, the framework of today’s cattle program was laid by Kevin’s father, Ron, and grandfather, Roy. Ron and his wife, Arnita, still play an active role in the farm today. Kevin and Vera’s children, Brooke, Tyler and Courtney, are starting the sixth generation.
The operation began as a commercial cow-calf and farming business. Registered Hereford bulls were brought into the program in the mid-1940s. The registered cow herd was added in the mid-1980s by Kevin and Vera.
