CRAIG DEHAAN
| PRESIDENT Craig DeHaan and his wife, Sandi, both grew up on farms and purchased the family farm in 1991, where they still live in the house Craig grew up in. They have four children with one attending Vet School at the Iowa State University. Craig began his career as a banker, but several years ago left the banking world behind to jump full time into the agriculture industry. Craig is a representative for Advanced Ag Products, an all-natural feed supplement that focuses on gut health for all species of livestock. Craig began his cattle journey with club calves, but when his kids didn't want to show them, he sold the herd and purchased his first Miniature Herefords at the Iowa State Fair. He, along with his partners, raise show and meat animals. They have developed their own meat label, Prairieland Premium Meat, where they sell products all across the United States. | CONTACT 22CATTLECOMPANY@GMAIL.COM 712.395.8822 ORANGE CITY, IA |
DAN WILEY
| VICE PRESIDENT Daniel and his wife, Heather, both grew up in the city, but spent weekends in the country with grandparents. Twenty years ago, they left city living behind and bought a small hobby farm. Daniel spends his days as the General Manager of a commercial HVAC company and then comes home to do what he really loves on the farm. Their oldest son, Isaac, has recently returned to the farm where he is helping them to grow the farm and cattle herd. 4 Wiley Farm, LLC now has one of the largest herds of Miniature Herefords in the area. Their focus is on raising quality show cattle and they are working to expand their grass-fed meat operation. Daniel is passionate about the Miniature Hereford breed and excited to see the breed growing. "The more we show up, the more we are recognized. The more we are recognized, the more opportunities will be presented for us to showcase our breed. The Miniature Hereford Breeders Association has offered our family great opportunities through the show ring and by being a part of an organization that has so much to offer the cattle industry.

BILL SCOTT
| TREASURER I live in Lubbock, Texas where I own a commercial construction company building hospitals, restaurants, shopping centers, warehouses and industrial agricultural buildings. I have spent the last 28 years building my company from the ground up and understand what it takes to make a company successful. I was raised on a family hobby farm in New Mexico and spent many years showing livestock in 4-H and FFA. We now run about 25 club cows, 15 recips and several Miniature Herefords. I have two adult children, Aubrey and Zane who grew up showing livestock and my youngest, Journi, is still showing cattle. Journi started showing minis when she was three so that she could be like her big brother and sister. We have traveled many miles through lots of states making memories with our Miniature Herefords. I want to see the MHBA re-energized and working together to become stronger, growing the breed and making things better for our youth and breeders. | CONTACT BILLSCOTT_TEXAS@YAHOO.COM 806.729.1789 LUBBOCK, TX |

JOHN COOPER
| DIRECTOR, REGION 2 Spring Trail Ranch began in June of 2009 after my wife watched a Fox TV story about a Miniature Hereford ranch in California. We researched and ended up buying our first four cows and a bull from Nebraska. After retiring from the insurance industry several years ago, our mini's and Bouvier's are our full time passion. I love seeing each year what breeding combination produces and how to improve what I am doing with our mini's. To me it is very interesting to see each other breeder's style of mini's through out the country. You can learn a lot from each breeder's efforts. It's a great time to be involved in the Miniature Herefords! | CONTACT SCRAAB2001@GMAIL.COM 919.624.2301 HILLBOROUGH, NC |

ROBIN BENTON
| DIRECTOR, REGION 9 I have raised Boer goats and Dorper sheet. In 2015, I sold my goat herd and opted for cattle. I knew I wouldn't be able to handle full-sized cattle, so I began researching the miniature breeds. Since I was a kid, I've always loved the look of the Hereford. The red and white just stood out and takes me back to my childhood days of the range cattle that hung out at my favorite fishing hole. I was able to secure some breeding stock from a ranch in northern Utah and started my cattle ranch - Diamond Dollar Ranch. I had no plans of showing. However, that changed when my Regional Director arrived at my home. It was his knowledge and somewhat persistent nudge that convinced me to show. Now I am hooked and spend my spare time researching bloodlines, AI cattle and developing an embryo program. I've built my herd to about 20 cows using some of the best bloodlines I can afford. As a Regional Director, I hope I can also help others find the joy of owning and showing Miniature Herefords. | CONTACT BLUEUT67@GMAIL.COM 435.851.4960 MANTI, UT |
