Duane Hilbert | Fluffy Cow Hall Of Fame | From David Bradford
Matt,
Heres a pic of the Res Grand Steer in Denver Shown by Bob Frerk. My uncle “The Great” Duane Hilbert is to the rear of the steer. Behind him is Pete Burmeister. Kirk Stierwalt to the front and Im in there as well. Duane was probably one of the first to sell these as Fluffy as he could find them. He used to say the small little chubby HAIRY ones are the calves you buy this time of year. People don’t realize its not all about the hair though. For example this steer was a Who Made Who we sold. And one of the best to ever win in Denver. And he was a powerhouse. And always had great hair. I remember Kirk and I clipped him in the yards. And it was an Honor to clip alongside him. People just stopped and watched in awe. Pretty neat.
Duane and your dad found Who Made Who. For those times was as Hairy/Fluffy of a Bull/COW as they came. A lot of people didn’t like the bull because he was a freak. But in my opinion “and Ill bet yours dads also” was the first real game changer in this business. So yes in my opinion “and if Duane was alive I’d bet his also” Fluffy Cows are a GREAT thing. Just thought I would share what one of the greats in the business did. He is a TRUE FLUFFY COW LEGEND!
