Screensaver
This is a small customizable freeware program that I have been using for
years. I have included a number of Hereford graphics in the zipped file to start
you off with a nice screensaver for Windows. The freeware program is called
Flasher and you can customized the photos that you use as your screensaver.
Follow
the following link and right click on a file called Hwscreen.zip. Using
Save As, save the file to a directory on your computer and remember
where you downloaded the file on your computer. After disconnecting after your
download, unzip the file named HWsceen.zip and read the text file called HWinstall.txt.
Next follow the directions at setup.exe for installing Flasher. Be sure to remember
the location of the directory where you have the graphic files that you want
to use in the screensaver. You can delete any of the graphics that come with
this zip file if you don't want them to appear.
Embroidered Hats and Jackets:
I know that Showstring, Inc carries a variety of Hereford embroidered designs,
can personalize just about anything and will do custom designs as well. They
have trailers at some of the major shows, but have an online website at:

Custom Farm, Ranch, Road and Show Signs
This is a company that I don't have much information on, but that they will
do any horned or polled Hereford with the same pattern as the Angus or other
breeds. Please mention that the Hereford Works referred you to their site and
the following approximate sign costs are their most current pricing.
Farm signs are 37 inch (which is shipped by UPS) up to 49 inch size (X Large)
which costs an additional ($200.00 and up) shipping via freight carrier. Sign
costs vary as to whether you want one or both sides lettered. For example, a
mailbox or stall show sign runs about $235.00 for lettering on both sides and
$12.00 and up for shipping. Be sure to specify that the Hereford Works referred
you to their site and ask for Kris Vogel.

2001 Christmas Cards from the American Hereford Association and Hereford
World:
I understand that the AHA has a new source for the custom printed 2001 Hereford
Christmas cards. The following link is a direct transfer to that site. Or follow
the directions from the Hereford World website link at the American Hereford
Association.

The Hereford Works has a new Christmas card called "Merry Kiss Moos", which we have in stock. Check this link to view the new card. This whimsical Christmas card is not customizable for imprinting by the Hereford Works, but can be put through your own computer printer to add your own personalized name or a note to your customers.
Note: I was having problems myself with the Boelte Hall site and couldn't get the "click on the cards" to go anywhere. This is a problem with Boelte-Hall Litho's website and you can contact them at http://www.techforms.com/BoelteHall/ or 913-432-5800. Update to malfunctioning site: You cannot use Netscape's browser to go to this site, you must use Microsoft Explorer 4.5 or higher.
