Frankie,
If my recollections are correct Doc Pankratz and his wife Luara and their son Lance initially purchased an operating angus seedstock herd (It may have been named "Lagrand" ...) a number of years ago. After a period of time they started a Hereford seedstock herd to run along with their black cattle. From my prospective, I would have to say their upstart Hereford herd was quite successful both in the show ring and in the sales ring.
A year or two ago the Pangkratz's purchased the Scotch Cap angus herd to expand their influence in the black cattle arena.
Last year the Pangratz's decided to exit the Hereford industry and stick with Angus cattle.
By the way, it is finally starting to warm up in southern New England and my cattle are already out in the pasture grazing.
Have a nice day and I hope all is going well for you this spring!!
