BUFFALO LAKE, Minn. – It was in 1917 that John Klucas and his brother-in-law traveled by train from Buffalo Lake to Garner, Iowa. There, they each purchased four Hereford heifers and brought them back by train to Buffalo Lake. Now, 100 years later, John’s grandson, Lester Schafer, 90, and great-grandson, John Schafer, 62, celebrate their centennial anniversary in the Hereford business.
