Congratulations to Frank Herefords of Roscoe, Montana on being selected as the 2023 NILE Premier Herdsman. Our first two-time champion, Frank Herefords previously won the award in 2016, is the recipient of the K.R. Rauch/Wilson Trailer for one year. Austin and Josh have been exhibiting Hereford cattle at the NILE for many years and exemplify what this award is all about.

Each year cattle exhibitors are evaluated on their presentation during the NILE Stock Show. The criteria for winning is based on: cleanliness of stall area, observance of rules and regulations, cooperation with show officials, sportsmanship to other exhibitors, and knowledge of breed(s) being shown. Those who exemplify these attributes win the use of a Wilson Trailer from K.R. Rauch for a year.
