Gary and Kathy Buchholz know Herefords. More importantly they know where Herefords are going. Drawing on two lifetimes of experience, they have positioned their ranch, GKB Cattle Company, at the forefront of the industry with a business plan as solid as the Herefords they breed. Their ranching style, simply put, is all about the cattle and the community. Hereford breeding goes back four generations in Kathy's family. Her great grandfather raised Herefords in West Texas. He found the breed to be versatile and marketable, and by the early 1900s the Wolcott Ranch dealt exclusively in Herefords. Her father, a full-time rancher, is a past-president of the Texas Hereford Association while her mother was president of the American Hereford Auxiliary and Texas Hereford Auxiliary. In keeping with family tradition, Kathy was very active in the Texas Junior Hereford Association as a child. She showed Herefords in high school and later attended Texas A&M, receiving a BS in animal science as well as a Masters degree in land economics. Gary, having moved from Illinois to Frisco as a child, also participated in the junior program. After graduationfrom high school in De Soto, He attended East Texas State University in Commerce and received his degree in agricultural education.
