The American Hereford Association will host Hereford breeders from across the country Oct. 27-29, in Kansas City, Mo., for the AHA Annual Meeting and Conference. Hereford enthusiasts will enjoy three days of events and activities including educational forums, industry trade show, the Annual Meeting and the National Hereford Show during the American Royal.


While in town, learn about Kansas City’s rich cattle heritage at the Kansas City Public Library exhibit — Cattle, Cowboys, and Culture: Kansas City and Amarillo, Building an Urban West, and stop in for a meal at one of many local Kansas City restaurants serving Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®).

Cattle, Cowboys, and Culture: Kansas City and Amarillo, Building an Urban West



A century and a half ago, trains hauling cattle and cowboys brought the real west from Amarillo, Texas, to Kansas City. Return trips carried a trove of materials to Amarillo – canned and dry goods, chemicals, furniture and fashionable clothing — and Kansas City’s influence there ultimately extended to banking, education, architecture and art.


This exhibition illuminates the two cities’ shared history. Produced by the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, Texas, it features artifacts, art and decorative art objects, clothing and textiles, photographs, and architectural renderings illuminating the connections.


Also highlighted in this exhibit is Hereford’s legacy in America’s beef industry with photos and artifacts from decades ago.


The Kansas City Public Library central location is downtown at 14 W 10th St, Kansas City, MO 64105 and is accessible from the KC Streetcar at the Library stop. Learn more about Cattle, Cowboys, and Culture: Kansas City and Amarillo, Building an Urban West.
