Curtis Polled
Herefords
Virgil, South Dakota
Curtis Polled Herefords began in 1916 when Frank L. Curtis Sr. purchased his first Polled Hereford bull. When Frank L. Curtis Jr. was 13 years old, he purchased his first Polled Hereford cow with money he earned trapping animals and selling their fur. Together they marketed their bulls at private treaty until 1953 when they held their first bull sale at Miller, SD.
Daughter Joyce and son-in-law Donald Dubois joined the operation in 1958, followed by daughter Carol and son-in-law Larry Gildemaster in 1974.
Frank Jr. and his wife Hazel dispersed their cow herd in 1978. Donald and Larry have continued the Curtis tradition with their separate herds and holding the Annual Sale together.
We are a "hands on" family operation, deriving our total income from Polled Hereford cattle.
Visitors are always welcome. Please feel free to contact us. We love to talk about the cattle.
