The purpose of the MHBA AIME (Advances in Miniature Hereford Excellence) Program is to recognize exceptional cattle and breeders in the Miniature Hereford breed.  

Each animal receives points for each AIME show entered based on their placing in the show.  The animal with the highest points at the end of the year is awarded the title of Animal of Excellence.  

The 2025 Female of Excellence was awarded to T3C Firefly, owned by Rileigh White of Cheyenne, Wyoming.  

Rileigh also were awarded the 2025 Bull of Excellence with T3C Zero.  

The 2025 Prospect Steer of Excellence was awarded to Ada Pence of San Luis Valley, Colorado for her steer, RPR Ginko.  

The 2025 Market Steer of Excellence was awarded to MFR Lucky, owned by Hayden Lloyd, of Wooster, Ohio.  

The Ranch of Distinction division is designed to recognize breeders for their success in the show ring across multiple animals.   This program is an accumulative point show program designed to recognize ranches/farms that promote and educate the general public about the Miniature Hereford breed.  These ranches/farms do this through exhibiting their animals in Miniature Hereford shows across the country.  

The 2025 MHBA Ranch of Distinction I (1-3 head exhibited) was awarded to Triple 3 Cattle of Cheyenne, Wyoming.  

The 2025 MHBA Ranch of Distinction II (4-6 head exhibited) was awarded to McKenna Camp of MC Livestock out of Maypearl, Texas.  

Congratulations to all the AIMES winners for their success this past year both in the show ring and in furthering the Miniature Hereford breed!
