Churchill Cattle Company....where did that name come from? Many of you are familiar with a very small community close to Manhattan aptly named Churchill for the two churches located on "the hill". Although, this is the community where we attend church and where the Christian school that Dale and our 4 daughters attended, Churchill Cattle Company is not named after that community. Rather, it is aptly named after a bull Dale raised from a cow given to him by his dad. This bull is reported to have been a dandy from the get-go! Dale named him DV Lord Churchill. This bull went on to top the Western Nugget Sale at Reno and thus, gave us a very solid financial base to begin our married life in 1978.
So when we were given the opportunity to start up a Hereford herd, with the cows Dale had been given by his dad as well as some cows we bought with the help of Nancy's parents, from the Barbara King herd in Missoula, Churchill Cattle Company seemed like the perfect fit for a ranch name.
