Burleigh W bought and built his Hereford herd from registered Domino Herefords purchased in Iowa from 1912 to 1925. Since that time he purchased best breedings from various livestock shows.
He was a hard and determined, yet kind hearten individual, with a great perseverance and foresight to build the place to the high standard it held at the time of his death.
Burleigh Dean with such a good background of Hereford breeding stock has strived to uphold this fine Hereford breeding stock which his father started many years ago. He and his wife Josephine, His sons Burleigh Jr. and Willard Robert, and his daughter Joella, help him to carry on the same good quality in all their efforts as the father did in the past.
To date this ranch has been built up to be one of the largest and best producing ranches of the Green River Valley. The ranch has some of the best rated Herefords, extensive hay lands and wonderful scenery in the west.
