Selfless Service: Being a soldier and a rancher are two career choices that generally don't go together, but for General Butch Funk, they are the perfect combination

摘要

Whether leading troops in the U.S. Army, making breeding decisions or serving Hereford members as chairman of the American Hereford Association (AHA) member service committee, Paul "Butch" Funk has always made serving others a priority. "A good commander rides to the sound of guns," Butch explains. "If someone is in trouble I will come." Butch has served both our country and the Hereford breed with this philosophy. After a distinguished 32-year career with the U.S. Army, Butch retired as a lieutenant general and returned to his second passion in life — being a rancher. Today Butch and his wife, Danny, own Spearhead Ranch near Copperas Cove, Texas. Butch served on the AHA Board from 2008 to 2012.
