Missy Hess married into the BioZyme\u00ae business. Arnold Hess had been a BioZyme dealer since the early 1970s, and he loved the products for his cowherd. He had already been a dealer for 25 years when he and Missy married; it was a package deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arnold passed away in 2021, but Missy\u2019s love for Arnold and the products kept her on track with her business. At the 2023 Dealer Retreat, she was recognized for 52 years as a BioZyme dealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have friends and family to sell to and am always working to find new customers since there is no feedstore nearby. We have always helped the feeders and other cow-calf operators in the area. I knew it is what Arnold would want me to do,\u201d Missy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Missy has always had a passion for livestock and the people who raise them. She was the first female to compete on the Louisiana State University Livestock Judging Team. That was in 1975. She recounts a recent story about her flight home from the Dealer Retreat when she met a group of young livestock judgers from Florida. They were thrilled to meet the first lady judger from LSU, and asked Missy for a group photo in the Atlanta airport \u2013at Midnight. One of those young people even looked Missy up at the All-American Junior Brahman Show in Texarkana, Arkansas, where Missy\u2019s granddaughter was competing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said the biggest benefit of being a BioZyme dealer is meeting new people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI like having people call me and getting to promote the products,\u201d she said. \u201cThe mineral has definitely helped our operation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Missy currently runs F1 cattle that she breeds to Angus bulls to get calves that are one-quarterBrahman. She said her cattle receive Amaferm\u00ae in their entire time on her ranch, either through theVitaFerm\u00ae or Gain Smart\u00ae mineral. She also runs an Angus herd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Missy easily epitomizes care that comes full circle. Congratulations, and thank you, for a great 52 years!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
