Relaxed, almost jaunty, he told a group at the Department of Agriculture: "I am a Hereford breeder. I sell registered calves. I am going to have a lot of time to work on it pretty soon...
...city boy," says Hull, "and never could be. As soon as the season is over, I want nothing but my farm." Yes, but which farm? Bobby owns a 150-acre spread near Millbrook, Ont, two more of 100 and 110 acres outside Demorestville, the 330-acre Hullvue Polled Hereford Farms near Picton, and a half interest in the 240-acre Golden Hawk Hereford Ranch near Demorestville.

The time has come to get the Republicanism out of these Waukegan products. Love, Daddy...

Mex., involving a six-year-old Hereford bull named Doctor Onward 211. The bull, it seems, has 14 ribs instead of the usual 13. More than that, it has passed on the mutation to many of its offspring. Of the 200 calves sired so far by Doctor Onward, 65 have been born with an extra rib-and thus an extra cut of valuable beef...
