Welcome to Ridder Hereford Ranch, home of the Half Circle brand since 1907. Four generations of Ridders have been raising purebred Hereford cattle at the ranch west of Callaway for more than 100 years. Ridder Hereford Ranch hosts an annual Bull and Heifer sale each February at the ranch. Yearling, fall yearling, and two-year old Bulls sell as do yearling Heifers. Please know that you are welcome to visit us at any time throughout the year.
Our Story
Ridder Hereford Ranch started when Theodore and Elizabeth Ridder moved from northeast Nebraska to the Sandhills west of Callaway in 1907, searching for land and a home to raise their growing family. Their son Paul was the youngest of 12 children, among them a dentist, two Catholic Sisters, an Interior Designer, a Naval Aviator instructor, ranchers, and a machinist. Paul and Marianne's son John, the oldest of four children, and his wife Mary now operate Ridder Hereford Ranch along with their six children.
Ridder Hereford Ranch's sole business is raising efficient, productive, carcass-superior Hereford bulls and females for cow calf ranchers - both purebred and commercial - throughout the United States. Thank you for visiting our website. We hope to visit with you soon.
