Past American Hereford Association director, Kevin Jensen, Courtland, Kan., owns and operates Jensen Bros. Herefords, along with his wife, Sheila. Today, the couple runs 450 cows. Jensen Bros. holds four sales annually, sells 100 bulls each spring and supports the Hereford Youth Foundation of America’s Foundation 1 Campaign during their spring-born female sale.
Kevin and Sheila have three grown children — Brady, Brooke and Ben — who are all active in Jensen Bros. Herefords. The siblings took part in the state and national associations and participated in the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) for 21 years, serving in leadership roles and competing in events. Kevin and Sheila served as junior Hereford advisors and look forward to their grandchildren, Kelly, Kirbe and Keaton, participating in JNHE.
The family successfully presents their cattle at the national level, and Kevin’s judging has taken him to Australia, Argentina and Canada on numerous occasions. He has sorted nearly every beef breed junior nationals — some multiple times — as well as Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, American Royal, Louisville and Denver.
