Thanks to Oregon land management rules, the Hereford breed benefited greatly when George and Karen Sprague, Eugene, Ore., chose to populate their new land purchase with Herefords. "We got in the Hereford business about 15 years ago," George explains."It was by accident." The Spragues, who were professors at the University of Oregon, searched for a rural property for more than a year; their intention was to find a place to have a few sheep and a few dogs. George explains the piece of land that caught their eye had the requirement that it be used for agricultural purposes. So, to be able to build a house on the site, the Spragues had to commit to being in the livestock industry.
