About this Event

In the beef industry, new cattle breeds are rare. Only five have originated in America. This is the story of a couple who drew upon their heritage and life experiences to create the uniquely American Black Hereford cattle breed. Author Norma Decker Hoagland will discuss how the Hoaglands’ lives in politics, beauty pageants, professional sports, advertising, international business, and law all played a role in this unusual story. Books will be available for sale and signing.
