Little Fort Herefords combine science and family ties for winning combination
Chris Jim is making a life for himself at the family ranch, with sons Graham, 9, and Deakon, 17 months, and partner Cassidy Kurtenacker.
This year Little Fort Herefords will celebrate 80 years in operation, built on the hard work of several generations of the Jim family, who still own the ranch today. They also own Jim’s Food Market gas stations and convenience stores across the road from the ranch in Little Fort as well as just north in nearby Clearwater.At 30 years old, Chris has been around the family ranch his whole life.
A quiet man like his son, Kam reluctantly allows a quick picture to be taken, then heads on his way, suggesting we talk to his brother, Kym Jim. “Raising purebred cattle is a bit of an addiction,” admits Kym, who HARVEST caught up with in person at the 86th Annual Williams Lake Bull Show and Sale. In 1979 his dad, Gung Loy Jim, gave him a cow; in 1981, that cow had a calf; and in 1983, Kym showed that calf as a bull.
