The of ficial induction ceremony will take place during the 59th National Polled Hereford Convention-Show- Sale in Jackson, Miss., Feb. 16-18, 1982. Ralph Painter bought his first Polled Hereford in 1906 and devoted the rest of his life to hornless, white-faced cattle. His first bull was purchased from Warren Gammon, founder of the breed. By 1911 his four sons were working with him, and Ralph Painter and Sons Polled Herefords began to make a national impact on the industry. Polled Hereford breeding stock, was sold mto 46 states, Canada, Australia and Uruguay. Ralph attended every National Polled Hereford Show and Sale from 1916 until 1952, when illness prevented his travel. He exhibited at the 1920 National for the first tune, and then at every National until 1944. In 1923 and 1925 he consigned the champion sale bull, and he showed Lou D Stanway to the reserve grand champion female title in 1927. In 1956 lus four sons, Ernest, Wyverne, George and Irvin, put together a golden anniversary sale in honor of his 50 years in the business. The Henderson County, Illinois, Polled Hereford Association is one of the oldest in the country and Ralph Painter was one of its founders. He was also in strumental in the organization of the Illinois PHA m 1944. On the national level, he served on the APHA board of directors for two terms. Until his death in 1956, Ralph Painter was active in Polled Hereford affairs. His involvement with the breed influenced many herds across the nation and he is one of Polled Hereford’s earliest Polled Hereford pioneers. Lulu, his wife ot 56 years, used to say, “We never go anywhere but what a Polled Hereford bull is at the end of the line.” Ernest Painter was seven years old when his father bought his first Polled Hereford, so he grew up with the breed. In 1922 he began his own herd and in 1945 the Polled Hereford tradition was extended to the third generation when his son Ernest Jr. joined in partnership. For 26 years Ernest Painter’s name was synonymous with the Illinois PHA, as he served as secretary from 1944 to 1970. He served on the steering committee that organized the Illinois PHA and was elected as its first secretary treasurer. That 56-member organization had grown to nearly 250 in the next 15 years. Today the Illinois PHA is one of the largest and most active in and Ernest Painter played a large part in its growth and success. Illinois PHA dedicated their Twentieth Anniversary Sale to Pamter in recognition of his service to their association. Ernest Painter was always looking for a better way to promote the IPHA and Polled Herefords. Under his guidance the IPHA published its first breeders’ directory in 1945, printed road maps with IPHA members pin pointed across the state, established a promotional booth at the lllimos State Fair and issued breed information to Hlihois Vo-Ag teachers. Fellow Polled Hereford breeders pay tribute to Ernest Painter as a "man of honesty and integrity with a common-sense, practical ap-” proach to the problems that con front the every-day cattle breeder. As IPHA secretary or just Ernie Painter, he is always willing to assist a new breeder and help him get into the business to stay.” Thirty years ago Earl Vescovi went into the Polled Hereford business with 30 heifers. From that start, he built an intensely Spidel bred herd of more than 250 brood cows. A neighbor and close friend of Hall of Famer Bill Spidel, Vescovi chose the most productive Spidel stock to go into his herd. His dedication to raising prac tical, efficient range cattle has earned him the reputation as a breeders enter Hall of Fame common-sense cattleman. Registered and commercial beef cattle breeders from more than 20 states and four Canadian provinces can testify to the qualities of Vescovi cattle.
