Over the years the Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska has teamed up with Eppley Cancer Center and 15 Host Families and Communities to carry out our mission of raising funds for cancer research, while promoting beef in a healthy diet and showcasing rural Nebraska. The Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska has donated over $7 million to cancer research plus supporting health care in many local communities. Each and every host family, community and guest to a Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska should be proud that their efforts are yielding results. We all have a connection to cancer, and our efforts are making a difference!

The Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska Advisory Board is delighted to introduce the Ralph & Beverly Holzfaster family, along with the Neal Hansen family as the 2013 Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska hosts. These two families have a long and distinguished history with the cattle industry and a great commitment to giving back to the community. This year the local chairmen of the Ball are Tim Holzfaster, Jon Holzfaster, Doug Teaford, & Greg Wilke. Your hosts and many wonderful volunteers have worked extremely hard to bring you a fun-filled day! Their great efforts will contribute greatly to cancer research and to this local community’s health care. We thank you! When you see these folks, please extend a word of gratitude for their tremendous gifts of time and talent to this year’s event! Thank-you to all the donors who have helped make today possible.

Today the third and forth generations of family members are actively engaged in the farming and cattle feeding operation.Ralph was an Air Force Pilot and Missle Launch officer at Cape Kennedy. He came back to the farm, married Beverly, a Teacher in Paxton. They followed the harvest for 7 years, helped develop stubble mulch practices with Noble, Kraus, sunflower & Flex King. Farmed with Morrison-Quirk Co. at mile 26 Alcan hi-way. Worked with center pivot irrigation for 42 years, served on the Nebraska Ethanol Board, and completed 24 years on the Nebraska Public Board. Of all the opportunities we have had, working with the Cattlemen’s Ball, and the Eppley cancer center has been the most rewarding. Beverly and I are both cancer survivors. For your generosity & support, our heartfelt THANKS.Beverly and Ralph

Neal Hansen was born and raised in eastern Nebraska. The 2013 Cattlemen’s Ball will be held on Neal’s Hanging H Ranch near Sutherland. Neal’s grandparents were second generation Nebraska farmers. He returned to Nebraska after serving in the U.S. Navy and attended the University of Nebraska, earning his degree in Electrical Engineering.

Hansen’s Hanging H Ranch!

The 2013 Cattlemen’s Ball will be held at the beautiful Hanging H Ranch near Sutherland, Nebraska. The ranch includes substantial South Platte riverfront and wildlife habitat. It is the perfect setting for the Cattlemen’s Ball.

The ranch operation includes grain and hay production, a registered herd of Angus cattle and performance and ranch-bred quarter horses.

A significant effort has been undertaken at the ranch to restore pasturelands, create and improve wildlife habitat and work in partnership with Ducks Unlimited in protecting and restoring wetlands.


The Holzfaster’s Farm - it is in the 4th generation located 13 miles southwest of Paxton. Because of the accessabilities we are privilidged to be co-hosts with the Neal Hansen family and the Hanging H Ranch. We would be happy to have you come anytime. The coffee is always on.

Ralph Beverly and all our family


Welcome from the ChairmenWe are pleased to welcome you, our guests, to another spectacular Cattlemen’s Ball. In addition to the excellent food and entertainment you have come to expect at each year’s Ball, other activities including a Ranch Rodeo have been added for your 2013 enjoyment.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the 40 committee chair-people and their volunteers committed to making sure this year’s Ball again succeeds in raising significant funds for health care research.

Volunteers have come forward from communities in Keith, Lincoln, and Perkins counties—from FFA youth groups to Knights of Columbus and many other civic groups—we are proud and grateful for the way you have stepped up—to all of you we say “THANK YOU!”

We applaud the vision and dedication of our co-hosts, Ralph and Beverly Holzfaster and Neal Hansen; their determined efforts have been very inspirational. We also appreciate the opportunity to hold this 2013 Ball at Neal Hansen’s Hanging H Ranch—certainly this ranch is “showcasing rural Nebraska at its finest.” The ranch is crossed by many historic trails, “ON THE TRAIL TO A CURE” the theme for this year’s Ball, is no less historic.

It is the hope of all of us that you, our guests, have an enjoyable and memorable Cattlemen’s Ball – 2013.

The Cattlemen’s Ball is about Nebraskans working together to make good things happen.

Thank you for attending the 2013 Cattlemen’s Ball! We are deeply grateful to the people of Paxton and Sutherland and the surrounding communities who have worked together for many months to make this incredible event possible. A special thank you is extended to this year’s hosts, the Ralph and Beverly Holzfaster family, and Neal Hansen, for your generous commitment to this year’s Cattlemen’s Ball. We also extend our gratitude to the general chairs of this year’s Ball, Jon and Tim Holzfaster, for their outstanding leadership and hard work. We also thank the committee chairs, committee members, and the hundreds of volunteers for your time and your talents.

“On The Trail To A Cure,” the theme of the 2013 Cattlemen’s Ball, brings several things to mind. First, the way we diagnose and treat cancer has changed drastically since 1971, when President Richard Nixon signed the National Cancer Act. Across four decades, the trail has led us to the twenty-first century, and the Human Genome Project, which mapped and decoded each of 25,000 genes found in the human genome. Along the trail, research has revealed that cancer is not one disease, but many different diseases, with distinct molecular and genetic characteristics. The many cutting-edge discoveries and treatments that have been developed over the past forty years have resulted in over 12,000,000 cancer survivors alive in the United States today! Tremendous strides have been made on the trail to a cure, but there is much more to do. The new Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center (formerly the Eppley Cancer Center) will be leading the trail to a cure in the 21st century. Construction began in May on the new Cancer Center complex, which is expected to open in 2016. In the new cancer center, scientists and physicians will be together in state-of-the-art facilities that encourage the exchange of ideas and information. The integration of all cancer research and care on the UNMC campus into one location will provide all Nebraskans with a facility they can be proud of, and one that will transform the delivery of state-of-the-art cancer care. It will be a model for cancer centers around the world.

On behalf of the faculty, staff and patients of the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, we thank each of you for attending this year’s Cattlemen’s Ball. We are so grateful for your ongoing support for this event. We all play an important part “on the trail to a cure!” We hope you enjoy the 2013 Cattlemen’s Ball, and look forward to seeing you again in 2014!

Best regards,

Kenneth H. Cowan, M.D., Ph.D.Eppley Professor of OncologyRobert F. and Myrna L. Krohn Chair in Cancer ResearchDirector, Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer CenterDirector, Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer

Cancer Center that aids scientists and physicians in developing new and

improved methods for early detection of cancer, as well as cutting-edge,

Saturday8:30pm – 10:00pm • Main Tent

Serenity Spurs!Featured for the first time at the 2013 Ball are the iconic Serenity Spurs. The spurs are made of carbon steel with a patina, and when stacked are 6’ x 18’ and weigh approximately one ton. They were created by Shannon Hansen, formerly of Ogallala, now residing in Lincoln. He is currently welding program chairman for Southeast Community College at Milford. Hansen has shown work in the Modern Arts Midtown Gallery in Omaha as well as in Lincoln art galleries.

A special use of the spurs will be to honor and remember loved ones affected by cancer. Individuals may purchase serenity ribbons depicting a specific cancer that may have touched their loved one. The ribbons will then be magnetically attached to the spurs for display during each Ball. It is expected that the spurs will travel the state as part of the annual Cattlemen’s Ball.

The spurs have been sponsored by BlueCross and BlueShield of Nebraska and initiated by former State Senator and BC/BS Board Chair Emeritus, Jack Mills. According to a BC/BS spokesman, “The company is committed to giving back to customers and communities it serves.”
