Im in central IL, and have never had a problem tracking it down. Try Jim Reed in Mo, their website is
www.reedent.com they can deliver about any hereford bull that was popular in the last 20 years to your door step. There are also quite a few breeders within Illinois that are members of the syndicate that would have semen. Lorenzens are near the Indiana border. Katzenburgers of Plum River Ranch are members and they are right across the Wisconsin border in Northern IL. I believe there are also a few others in Illinois that are syndicate members. Indiana isnt short of hereford producers and channing is a pretty popular bull get on the phone and make some calls. Kottkamps, Randy Davee, Able Acres, Showtime cattle, might all be good places to start. Good Luck, Id sell you some but used it all this spring and havnt gotten around to ordering more.
