It's not likely. Cattle remain a family project and when Emily needs more help than her Mom and Dad can provide, she can call on someone like Brent Hurlburt. As NCC's Director of Agricultural Technology, Chuck becomes acquainted with students needing part-time jobs and often hires them to help with the cattle and farming. If the students are willing to work and accept some responsibility, they are treated more like extended family than hired hands. A heifer pair typical of the Pohlman program.
Dependable help is appreciated when bull merchandising takes the family away from home.
In addition to private treaty sales, Pohlman consignments are featured at the Denver Angus female sale, the Nebraska Cattlemen's Classic held each February and the annual Open to the World Angus Sale held in Atkinson, Neb., each April. And this year, a new fall sale sponsored by the Nebraska Angus Association was added to the lineup. In each case, sale managers view Pohlman consignments as welcome additions to any offering. The founding of a reputation for quality seedstock continues to be a Pohlman family affair. That's a tradition to build on.
