Dean Hessman Builds Feedlot Ties in Central Kansas
Dean Hessman, a Ford County native now managing Old Santa Fe Feeders in Sublette, describes a lifelong shift from veterinary dreams to cattle feeding. The facility, at US 83 and 270, handles 20,000 cattle and sources most feed locally, amid a region ranking high in grain-fed cattle marketing. Hessman notes regional input uses about 1.5 million bushels of high moisture corn and 950,000 bushels of dry corn yearly, with short hauls to nearby farms and Illinois links. The Santa Fe site sits on the old town's grounds, tracing back to 1886. The Santa Fe town vanished after 1926 as Sublette grew and Santa Fe faded.
