Valli Hi In the News...
The Valli-Hi Legacy ~
Valli-Hi Angus Ranch was established in 1960 when Jerry & Billye Jenkins moved to Idaho with their 6 children to live Jerry’s dream of being a “Cowboy”. They purchased 2 separate acreages, one down in the valley and one on the higher elevation where we are currently located. The 2 ranches were called respectively the Valli ranch and the Hi ranch, which led to Valli-Hi Ranches. Billye’s father William “Bill” Olsen assisted in the creation of their cowboy dream by helping Jerry select 8 pure-breed top Black Angus cows, the beginnings of our herd. Over the years the herd grew quickly, and many Valli-Hi Ranches bull sells were held.
In 1980, their son William “Bill” Jenkins returned home to the family ranch, he tells the story something like this, “I came home from college for the summer, the foreman of the ranch had just moved, and Dad didn’t know how he was going to fill that position. I said “well I can move into the trailer and work for the summer”, its now 36 years later… it has been a Long summer!” He fell in love with the lifestyle and continued the dream of raising high quality Black Angus seed stock. The last public Valli-Hi bull sell was held in 1982, as Bill preferred to take the time to learn what each buyers needs were and find the right bull to meet those needs, so all sells are made through private treaty.
In the 1990’s Valli-Hi Custom Hay company was started to provide for the hay needs of the 200+ cattle. It expanded quickly, and we grew to farm over 2000+ acres of leased and custom hay and straw a year. As the 2018 hay season comes to a close, Bill is getting to retire from the hay business, we are so grateful to our dedicated crew members for all the hard work they've put into putting up dairy quality hay year after year. One of Bill’s favorite hobbies is rebuilding antique Street Rods. He also loves being innovative with his equipment and creating new and better ways of getting things done. The ranch and hay business have greatly benefited from his talents and ingenuity.
Bill & Candy loved raising their family on the ranch, they have 5 grown children and currently 16 grandchildren. Two of their daughters fell in love with the cattle dream as well. Both went to college and earned Bachelor degrees in Animal Science. In 2016, 16 years and 6 children later, Chelsea and her family have returned to the valley and she spends many days out on the ranch helping in a variety of ways from computer work, marketing, genetics, starting the beef store, and her favorite – simply working outdoors with the cattle.
Throughout the years, we have been committed to excellence in maternal traits, growth traits, and genetics, working hard to create the seed stock that our buyers need to better their herd and their profits. Our focuses are on low birth weights; calving ease; increased weaning weights, growth ratios, and value; & maternal cows with clean udders and good dispositions.
We look forward to meeting you and learning more about you and how we can serve you. Our hope is to continue the Valli-Hi legacy and dream for many more years to come.
