The Spring Creek division of Matador Cattle Co. is using these powerful females to raise its own seedstock.

Matador Cattle Co. purchased Hereford seedstock to maintain its place as one of the most well-known ranch conglomerates in the world. by Sara Gugelmeyer

t’s an exciting time to be in the cow-calf business. Calf prices are up, many places have received healing rains, and even cattle feeders are whistling that “I’m making money” tune. It’s easy to get caught up in it all and write big checks for the wrong kind of cattle, though. In this article, longtime cattleman for the Matador Cattle Co. John Russell and a couple of Extension specialists share what they’re expecting in the future.

Seeing Hereford Matador Cattle Co., owned by Koch Industries, is one of the largest

and most well-respected ranching enterprises in the world. It includes three ranches: one in Montana, one in Kansas, and the original Matador Ranch in Texas. John “J.D.” Russell has worked for Matador since 1987. He’s seen the ups and downs of the cattle business. Now, as manager of Spring Creek Ranch near Eureka, Kan., he’s in charge of the seedstock division of Matador Cattle Co. And what’s he been up to? Buying Hereford cows. “This year we had the opportunity to purchase the registered Hereford herd from Jack Turner,” Russell says, putting it simply. continued on page 18...

Quality Hereford-Angus cross cows have been an important part of Matador Ranch’s success.

August 2014 /

by Craig Huffhines, executive vice president

Expectations of a Seedstock Producer Cow-calf profitability has and will always be the driving force behind genetic selection. Communicating the value of genetics to the commercial industry is what drives beef producers toward certain breeds or, perhaps in recent years, toward certain breeders of seedstock. Historically, dating back to the 1950s, the only means for communicating value to the commercial industry was through phenotypic/live-animal evaluation.

/ August 2014

Typically, the best evaluators have been those who could artfully articulate their thoughts verbally. The livestock evaluator, otherwise known as the judge, became the authority in what was determined to be the value in seedstock. Today, that business model has dramatically changed. Ranch managers have become much more sophisticated in the information they gather to make bull selection decisions. Market

chuffhin@hereford.org

signals from the packer, feedlots, video marketing programs and alliance carcass grids proliferate the industry. Specification brands influence value through sale barns and direct markets. Consumer influenced specifications such as hormone free, humanely handled or locally produced are gaining more market penetration. It would not be a stretch to say that the average cow-calf producer with more than 100 cows knows as much or more about his product than the average seedstock producer. In addition, the cow-calf

producer relies heavily on expected progeny differences (EPDs) and the genetic predictions they represent. This reliance on real information is fueling a race for accuracy in genetic predictions that will assure predictable performance, quality, efficiency and, ultimately, profitability. As far as phenotypic evaluation, well, let’s just say cow-calf producers are, for the most part, relying on their seedstock suppliers to assure that the bulls they purchase are functionally sound. What defines the reputation of an individual seedstock operation has changed as well through the years. In the days of the roaring 1950s until the early 1990s, show records determined the credibility, perception and even reputation of seedstock breeders. Those who worked the hardest, spent the most money getting their cattle ready for competition and made the widest circle through the show circuit tended to have the best reputation. Again, this trend has changed dramatically. Stock shows have become another marketplace to attract potential customers who love the competition. Those who are successful in that marketplace tend to also be successful in their “bread and butter” commercial marketing efforts. In short, the industry has become much more real-world. Technology is driving it, and it is likely to take much more of the guesswork out of genetic selection in the near future. The reality of our beef business is quickly taking personality, perception and opinion of value out of the equation. In 2004 the bovine genome mapping project was completed at a cost of $53 million. Today, we can whole genome sequence an animal for less than $3,000. This fall, the American Hereford Association plans to release a new DNA panel that could potentially predict and account for upward of 50% of the variation in the Hereford breed’s most important economically relevant traits for a price of around $50 per test. The game is changing rapidly. We expect to predict feed efficiency with moderate to strong levels of accuracy within the next 12 to 18 months. These technologies will be made available to the entire seedstock industry and to all producers both large and small. The seedstock industry is about to take a quantum leap in information technology. Knowing this, it will be critical to understand where the Hereford breed fits within the industry and what type of cattle we must produce to raise the demand curve for Hereford genetics. Come to Springfield, Mo., Sept. 4-5 for the 2014 Hereford Genetic Summit. We will have an opportunity to listen to and question industry experts on industry trends and what the expectations of a Hereford seedstock producer might be in the future. Let’s understand how we can take that quantum leap forward in addressing industry-wide needs and how we can position the Hereford breed for the next decade. HW Hereford.org

“Quality Cattle for Quality People”

August 2014 /

...Growing with Hereford continued from the cover

“We’ve always stayed with the Hereford base, because those cattle have a lot of doability in this bigger ranch country that we operate in. They get out and hustle and thrive in those kinds of environments. They produce very well for us and we think they add a lot to our maternal base from a cow herd standpoint.” — J.D. Russell More specifically, Matador Cattle Co. purchased a set of Hereford cows from Turner Bros. Herefords at Oklahoma City, propelling Matador Cattle Co. into the Hereford seedstock business. See, Matador Cattle Co. has always known the value of Hereford genetics. As fads have come and gone, Hereford bulls and at least part-Hereford cows have always been an important part of the calfraising business at all three Matadorowned ranches. And throughout at least the past three decades, Jack Turner’s bulls have been integral in the Matador bull battery. “We’ve bought probably at least 80% of our Hereford bulls from Mr. Turner,” Russell explains. “We have worked very closely with him, and had a very good working relationship. He would ask us what we are needing from a commercial production standpoint, and he worked diligently to meet those needs so that we could meet our goals as well.” When it became clear that Turner was planning to slow his pace, Russell says Matador took advantage of the opportunity to purchase his herd and maintain that stream of high-quality Hereford genetics to which they’ve been accustomed. Now at Spring Creek Ranch in Kansas, Hereford, Angus and Akaushi seedstock will be produced to supply the bull needs of the commercial herds at the Kansas, Montana and Texas ranches. And those needs are considerable. Russell says if the Texas ranch was fully stocked, Matador would be running about 185 Hereford herd bulls between the three ranches. In fact, he was counting on needing a lot of bulls soon to restock the Texas ranch after prolonged drought. “When we bought them we were of the mindset that we would have the opportunity to expand in Texas because we were hopeful that the drought was going to break,” Russell says. “We’ve recently had some relief from that but not to the extent that we could start expanding the herd again after we had to reduce from the drought.

Restocking vs. rebuilding It seems that much of the country is poised to either restock or rebuild in the aftermath of drought-caused cow reductions and discouraging calf prices. Texas A&M University Extension Economist Stan Bevers reminds

/ August 2014

cattlemen that although some throw the words around interchangeably, there is a difference between restocking and rebuilding the nation’s cow herd. “As we start talking about restocking or rebuilding, you’ve got to be looking forward,” Bevers says. “Because from a cow-calf standpoint, we aren’t talking about one set of cattle in a feedlot pen that we know when they are coming out. We are talking about females that we are going to spend considerable dollars on, and have hopefully for a considerable amount of time. So when we look at these markets from a cowcalf standpoint, we have to look at it down the road, not just now.” He reminds producers that although now is good, and even the next two to four years will likely be good, if one looks at the five-year or longer projection of calf prices, the overall trend is likely down. That’s not to say ranches shouldn’t and won’t restock. He explains that what’s happened is ranches have reduced the number of cows because of drought but fixed costs have stayed the same. That situation has driven up the cost per cow. Restocking is a no-brainer. When conditions improve, it’s necessary to buy cows to make the business model more efficient. “Restocking is getting back to an efficient number on my investment

in land. Rebuilding is increasing the nation’s cow herd. Restocking is my issue, rebuilding is a national issue,” Bevers says. And Bevers doesn’t know if that’s likely to happen. “For true rebuilding to happen, somebody has to step outside their comfort zone. Say, I choose to go buy a ranch. If I go from 500 cows where I’m most efficient, to 800 cows that’s a dramatic increase. I am going to be uncomfortable for a little while with such a dramatic increase in costs. How many are going to rebuild? How many are going to step out of their current comfort zone after restocking? The people that want to do it are getting fewer and fewer. Especially when a ranch costs $65 million. They’re out there, but they are harder to find.” He adds, though, “I am not saying don’t do it. Because we’ve got to get back to what we do, we’ve got to get back to ranching, and using our resources. But we’ve got to be efficient at it and choose carefully.”

Buy the right kind That’s what Matador Cattle Co. is doing. While Russell may not be ready to restock the Texas ranch completely yet, Russell and his team have done some rebuilding of sorts with the Kansas place.

“Restocking is getting back to an efficient number on my investment in land. Rebuilding is increasing the nation’s cow herd. Restocking is my issue, rebuilding is a national issue.” — Stan Bevers

“We had a little room here in Kansas,” Russell says. “So, what we did was not take in any stockers this year so we could purchase these Hereford cattle, because we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to buy these Hereford genetics.” Matador Cattle Co., at all three ranches, maintains a Hereford-Angus cross commercial cow. She is bred to either Hereford or Angus to keep the next generation as close to 50-50 as possible, or the Japanese breed Akaushi for a terminal cross. Russell says he and others at Matador were confident in Turner’s genetics and that gave them the push necessary to expand into the Hereford seedstock business. “We didn’t want to lose those genetics because we knew what they have done for us,” he says. “That’s what brought us full circle to go ahead and invest by purchasing those cattle,” he says. Just as Matadaor has done, New Mexico State University Animal Scientist Marcy Ward says whether one is expanding or restocking, it’s important to choose the right kind of female. Ward says there are certainly advantages to raising your own females. “They’re your genetics, raised in your environment and you know their background,” she says. However some operations sold completely out during the prolonged drought in the Southwest. And the time, extra feed resources and costs might be prohibitive to getting a heifer calf all the way to the second or third calf, when she starts to pay for herself, Ward says. Also worth considering is that buying females is the quickest way to make large strides in genetic improvement if it pencils out, profitability-wise. “The bull may dominate the genetic pool, but the cow herd drives production,” Ward says. If you’ve decided buying females is the best way to expand or restock, there are generally two options. Go find some mature bred cows or heifers that will make a payment the first year, as Matador did, or buy some heifer calves, raise them and breed them how you like. Each operation is different, so there’s no right or wrong answer, but it’s critical to their success that you choose females that are adaptable to your operation. “Match like resources,” Ward stresses. “I suggest crossbred cows Hereford.org

because they are more likely to be raised in a challenging environment. And with a purebred animal, there is no heterosis or hybrid vigor and that poses some other challenges.” Hereford has been an important component of the Matador Cattle Co. cow for…well, ever. “They had straight Hereford cattle until around the late 80s,” Russell explains. “Then they started crossbreeding them. But we’ve always stayed with the Hereford base, because those cattle have a lot of doability in this bigger ranch country that we operate in. They get out and hustle and thrive in those kinds of environments. They produce very well for us and we think they add a lot to our maternal base from a cow herd standpoint.” It’s for these reasons that Matador decision-makers have decided to raise their own females instead of buying replacements. “We got into that trading mode some years ago and it didn’t work well for us and we came to the determination that many others have. You have to have cattle that are genetically suited to your environment. Both of our ranches are big and in semi-arid areas so we have to have a pretty efficient cow that can produce well on somewhatlimited resources. A lot of times, those types of cows are hard to come by and are in high demand. We can produce replacement females that are suitable to our environment and do it more economically than we could go out and source those genetics from someone else.” Ward and Russell agree that Hereford is a good breed to consider whether restocking or expanding. “The thing about the Hereford breed is you can stick those cows anywhere and they do well,” Ward says. “Their hardiness, adaptability and ability to travel are really important when selecting females.” Russell says the word is spreading in favor of the Hereford breed. “We’re members of several different groups where area ranch managers get together and talk about what challenges we’re facing and opportunities each of us see coming. I’ve heard some comments from other large ranches that have gone all black that they are introducing Hereford back in. I’ve had several people contact me since we acquired these Hereford cattle saying they are starting to incorporate more Hereford. I think there’s several large ranches that are adding Hereford to a larger degree than they have in the past to take advantage of that hybrid vigor, get more doablility and range-ability back into their cattle to get across the country and utilize the resources.” Although it wasn’t Matador’s original objective, Russell says it will likely offer some Hereford bulls to the public after in-house needs are met. He calls it an added benefit to Matador’s situation because of the demand for Hereford. The value of Hereford genetics may become more important as cattlemen Hereford.org

restock or expand their herds in response to better conditions and better prices. But that value is something Matador Cattle Co. has always prioritized and may be something that has made it more successful as a result. “We’ve kept the Herefords in there. Not to sound cliché but sometimes you’ve got to dance with the one that brought you. Hereford cattle have been a mainstay on our Texas and Montana ranches for years and in a lot of the country. We saw the benefit of crossbreeding and hybrid vigor and the advantage of that. Hereford and Angus is just a good cross for our environment.” HW

Matador Cattle Co. has long been a believer in the Hereford-cross female, like this one at the Kansas ranch.

Herd Rebuilding

BIOSECURITY: It’s More Important Than You Think by Sara Gugelmeyer

iosecurity, in its basic sense, is much less complicated than one might think. In fact, every producer is practicing biosecurity on some level, according to Dr. John Wenzel — a Silver City, N.M., veterinarian — who spoke at the Southwest Beef Symposium in

Clayton, N.M., on this topic. He made it clear by example biosecurity is critical. “Most operators practice biosecurity whether they realize it or not,” Wenzel says. “That’s what a fence is. Vaccination is another biosecurity tool. Everybody has probably used that at one time or another and just didn’t know (biosecurity) is what they were doing. It’s protecting your operation from incoming threats.”

Wenzel stresses that those cattlemen who destocked because of drought and may now be in the market for cows should be particularly conscientious of biosecurity. Bringing in females can be risky business. Wenzel uses case studies to emphasize the dramatic effect biosecurity can have on an operation, particularly in profitability.

Case Study 1

Bad wreck that could have been worse A client of Wenzel’s was looking to increase herd size. The client had a buyer put together a group of bred cows for him. There were 196 total, delivered to him in mid-January, that would calve by June 1. “The guy had done a nice job of putting the cows together,” Wenzel explains. “They were nice cows, most were Texas origin.” But by mid-June, the new owner called Wenzel with bad news. One-fourth of the cows hadn’t calved yet. “He was concerned something was going on,” Wenzel says. “Also in talking to him, gathering history, he’d had calving difficulties. These were mature cows; you wouldn’t expect that. They’d had to assist some calvings, and things just didn’t go right. They lost a few calves that were stillborn, and had scour problems.” So, Wenzel preg-checked all 52 cows that hadn’t calved yet. There were two that were bred and just hadn’t calved yet, but the rest were open. “Some you could tell the uterus was enlarged, it was involuting, so fairly recently they had aborted and the others had lost their calf earlier in pregnancy,” Wenzel explains. He drew blood to investigate why these problems would happen. And what he found was significant titers for BVD (Bovine Viral Diarrhea). He knew then that there had been some BVD presence in these cows. Consequently, since the rancher was about to brand all the other calves, Wenzel asked for earnotch samples. These allowed him to test the calves for BVD. He was shocked at the results. More than 70 were positive for BVD. Next in the investigation was to test the cows. Not one tested positive.

“So what does that tell us? We know this was an exposure problem,” Wenzel says. If the cows aren’t BVD-PI (Bovine Viral Diarrhea-Persistently Infected), the only way the calf could become BVD-PI is for the virus to have been passed through the placenta during days 40-105 of pregnancy. “And when were these cows put together? Between 40 and 105 days of pregnancy. There were no signs in the cows. No illness. The guy that put the cows together did a good job. Was this his fault? No,” Wenzel says. After retesting, only two of the calves were still positive. And they were two of the oldest calves. “So here’s what we figure,” Wenzel says. “The dams were exposed when they were being assembled. Two passed the infection on to the calf through the placenta. Those PI calves were some of the first that were born. Because he was concerned about biosecurity, the owner had isolated the new cows and calves on pivots (irrigated crop circles). That concentrated those cattle so everything got exposed, which is, in part, why it turned out to be such a wreck. The bottom line is those two PI calves exposed the other calves and the cows in the field which created an active BVD infection. He ended up being short 62 calves out of 196. Does that get in your pocketbook?” Wenzel adds, despite this being a huge loss, it could have been much worse. “The fact that he kept those cows isolated from the rest of his herd was our saving grace,” he says. “The other cattle weren’t exposed. This would have been a really big deal had he commingled the cattle.” Hereford.org

Case Study 2

Disease outbreak caught before it turned into a bad wreck One of Wenzel’s clients, knowing that trich was becoming more prevalent in his area, decided he should be doing something about it. It was in the fall, so he thought he’d test his cull bulls. His father, though, convinced him that testing just them was silly; if he was going to test, he should test them all. So, he trich tested all his herd bulls used on mature cows. Out of 55 bulls, one was positive. “That’s a big deal with trich,” Wenzel says. “So just to be safe, we re-tested and confirmed he was positive.” Next, they decided to test their 15 heifer bulls. Four were confirmed positive. “What didn’t make any sense,” Wenzel says, “was that they had already pregged their heifers and had a 92% conception rate. That doesn’t fit with trich, you wouldn’t expect that.” Upon gathering more history, though, Wenzel learned that late in the breeding season, the cattleman had put the heifers and cows

Testing is critical In order to prevent these types of occurrences, Wenzel stresses the importance of biosecurity. The most important procedures related to BVD are to avoid purchasing PI cattle. To do that, replacement females and bulls need to be tested. Wenzel encourages all seedstock producers to test cattle before sale and urges his clients to purchase only seedstock that has been tested. Calves from cows already in the cow herd can be tested for BVD-PI. And then a good

together to get them closer to the homeplace in preparation for fall work. At that point, most everything was already bred, but the bulls were still out. It was also later learned that the pasture where the heifers were kept was neighbored by a different rancher who ran cattle of unknown origin. Some strays had gotten across the fence at some point. Wenzel explains, “But it happened so late in the breeding season most were bred up so it didn’t affect conception rates. The take-home message here is had he not trich tested those bulls what would he have done the next year? Turned them all out on his cow herd. And guess what he’d of had? One great big wreck. So the fact that he ended up testing all his bulls saved him. There’s no telling how much money it saved that outfit, because they got the disease diagnosed before they turned them out amongst themselves.”

vaccination program can help reduce the incidence of BVD-PI. Biosecurity measures to avoid trich outbreaks include being absolutely sure all bulls are negative with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genetic-based trich test. If the producer is buying replacement females of unknown origin, he should buy only bred cows or bred heifers. It’s important to buy females from known and trustworthy sources, Wenzel says. As evidenced by Wenzel’s case studies, biosecurity might be as simple as screening

incoming cattle and maintaining good fences, but a biosecurity breech can mean devastation in profitability.

Herd Rebuilding

hinking outside the box, or in this case a producer’s fence, is the key to getting ahead in business. Whether higher calf prices have producers itchin’ to expand or maybe the next generation is ready to get involved, here are a couple of options to consider. It’s all but impossible to buy land and make it pencil out, so maybe leasing grass or grazing crop residues could allow for increased production.

What is grass or crop residue worth?

Thinking Outside the Fence Leasing grass or cropland residues for grazing can help producers expand.

1) How much can I pay for grass? 2) How much do I have to pay for grass? 3) How much is grass actually worth? 4) How much should I pay for grass? Each question may have a different answer.

How much can I pay? The cattleman needs to know what he can pay for grass or cropland grazing. That will be

How much do I have to pay? “How much do I have to pay for grass (or crop residues)? Well that’s affected by the market,” Dhuyvetter says. “The market is how much other people are

Leasing grass to graze is one way to expand the operation. Renting cropland residues to graze is another way. Former Kansas State University (K-State) Ag Economist Kevin Dhuyvetter says he gets many calls about lease rates, but there are several different approaches to coming up with a rate. There are four questions that must be answered before two parties can agree on a lease:

different for each operation. What he can pay in order to make a profit may be different from what he has to pay. Obviously, if that’s the case, he’d be better off searching for other options. University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Ag Economist Matt Stockton deals more with grazing crop residues like corn stalks. Stockton says, “You need to evaluate what are the costs and say, ‘I’m giving up this, this and this and I’m gaining this.’ Because for everything you do you give something up and gain something. If you could just put numbers to that, it could give you an approximation of what you think you might do.” Stockton adds, “When you’re trying to maintain or expand a herd the question is, ‘What does it cost me and what do I get from it?’ The higher the revenue you’re going to receive or the more valuable the cows, the more likely you are going to want to hold onto those cows or buy more and the more you can pay for feed for those cows.” However, Stockton cautions that in today’s era of high inputs, “If you’re increasing revenue (on increased calf prices) that’s great, but if it’s costing more, you are making the same amount. It’s not a simple decision; it’s actually a very complex decision.”

paying. By definition if other people are paying X, I probably have to pay a comparable amount.” Dhuyvetter explains that there are average rental rates available for geographical areas reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), but he cautions that there are potential problems with using survey averages. “Averages are potentially troublesome because they might not match my specific situation,” he says. “Sometimes there are reasons why what I am paying shouldn’t be what other people are paying. It might have nothing to do with land quality. “It’s also important to remember that averages reported by surveys tend to be biased toward long-term leases. Which means that’s not necessarily what it would be today on newly negotiated land. When the market is going up they tend to be too low, and when the market is going down they tend to be too high. And most reported averages are in dollars per acre which is a meaningless number if you don’t know the stocking capacity.” However, he cautions that landowners typically like to deal in rent per acre rather than by the head. And it’s difficult because there’s no way to look up a typical yield (i.e. stocking rate) for an individual county like it is with cropland. Therefore, a potential lessee needs to do some research to know how many cows or pairs he could run per acre if he’s not familiar with the area. Competition has a huge effect on how much a cattleman will have to pay to lease crop residues. In areas where there is a lot of corn grown and few cattle, the price tends to be cheaper. In areas where there are a lot of cowmen and few farmers, those cattlemen are going to compete for whatever corn stalks are available. Drought years will drive up the price even more for anything that was grown under irrigation. Landowners will likely charge more if they have more than one person interested in leasing.

feed another way to make it more palatable and increase the energy is a possibility. We need to look at all those options to compare.”

What should I pay? Finally, the cattleman should ask himself, “What should I pay for grass?” For this question, there is no right answer, Dhuyvetter explains. The amount greatly depends on other costs the producer incurs and what his unique situation is like. For example, a cattleman who has unusually low winter feed costs likely would be able to pay more for summer-leased grass. Or maybe his land and all equipment are paid off on his homeplace, allowing him to lease grass for a little more and still remain in the black on all his cows. Other factors that affect lease rates are lease terms. For instance, a multiyear lease is typically different from a one-year lease. And there may be relationship benefits on each side. For instance, a landowner will likely give a deal to a tenant who provides him some benefit like looking after the landowner’s cows or maintaining his fence, for example. “Stocking capacity, size of pasture, water availability, quality of fence and maintenance are all other factors that should be considered when determining a lease,” Dhuyvetter says. An important thing to factor in when considering crop residues is weather, Stockton says. “If you’re grazing crop residue in an area that has winter storms, if the snow comes in then melts and freezes into an ice sheet then the cattle can’t get to the residue and you are going to have to supply hay. That’s a risk. The thing about stalks too is they typically have electric fences, and when the storms

come cattle can just walk through electric fence. Things happen and you need to be prepared.”

Handy decision tools Once a producer feels like he has a good handle on all the factors considered, he should try using UNL’s Corn Stalk Grazing Calculator or K-State’s Excel spreadsheet “Determining Pasture Rents in the Kansas Flint Hills.” The Corn Stalk Grazing Calculator is a handy Excel spreadsheet that allows the cattleman to fill in all the variables, everything from crop yield to how far it is to check cattle, and helps him determine the cost per cow per day. It can really help the farmer and the cowman come to an agreement so that it is beneficial to both. “It’s a simple little tool and it’s great because it’s easy for producers to use,” Stockton says. “They can see it is going to cost them $.50 cents per head per day including transportation there and transportation back. And then of course the guy that’s running the land can look at that and see that he could actually charge $.75 cents and still both are making money.” Stockton adds, “They can both look at it and say this is fair; I’m willing to do it. There are so many different kinds of agreements. Some people go in and put up the electric fence themselves but have somebody else haul water to them. So it depends on how far the residue is from your place of

residence and who you’ve got providing care. Do you hire a third party to do that? Maybe it’s somebody in the local area you trust, or the farmer that’s renting you the stalks and let that be part of the rental rate. It’s a way to look at it and see, ‘Is this worth it?’” The Corn Stalk Grazing Calculator can be found at beef.unl.edu/learning/ cornstalkgrazingcalc.shtml. K-State’s Excel spreadsheet is specific to the Kansas Flint Hills, but if a producer adjusts it for different stocking rates and gains, it can be applied to most any region. It takes into account everything from interest costs to cow salvage value and helps livestock owners and landlords determine what profit can be made at a certain rate. The Excel spreadsheet can be found at AgManagerInfo.net by clicking on “Decision Tools” from the menu on the left. Dhuyvetter says, ultimately, the goal is for the producer to challenge how he thinks about things. It might make a huge difference in his business. HW

UNL’s Corn Stalk Calculator and K-State’s Determining Pasture Rents are useful spreadsheets that allow producers to plug in their specific information and see if it is going to be a profitable agreement.

How much is the grass or crop-residue grazing worth? When a producer is determining how much the grass is actually worth, Dhuyvetter suggests figuring what it would cost to feed the cattle instead. For instance, the producer could calculate the cost to keep the cows or pairs in a drylot program by comparison. This cost is also affected by drought and the price of other feedstuffs in the area. If there is an abundance of cheap hay from previous wet years, maybe one should consider feeding that with a protein supplement instead of leasing grass or crop residues. Stockton says, “Ask yourself, ‘Are there other feed sources that are nontraditional that I could try?’ ‘What could I do?’ Here, cattlemen were getting creative — ammoniating straw to make it more digestible.

Herd Rebuilding

Coming Out of Drought Even with rain, the recovery of pastures takes time. A unique website offers tools to develop your ranch’s own drought plan. by Kindra Gordon

hat’s the key to getting pastures back on track after drought? The answer according to most grazing management experts — and seasoned ranchers — is patience. Because the health and vigor of most drought-affected plants is decreased, these pastures are going to need more than just rain to recover — they also need time and TLC. During the growing season, rotating cattle through pastures and then allowing ample time for those pastures to rest and regrow is always a good management strategy, especially so after drought. In the fall, if it’s possible, moving cattle to crop residues to give pastures even more rest is also advised. As well, University of Nebraska Forage Specialist Bruce Anderson has some advice. He suggests feeding hay a bit longer in next spring before turning cows out to permanent pasture. Anderson explains this strategy, saying, “I know this action is exactly opposite of my usual

you survive drought,” is the consensus of several Great Plains cattle ranchers who have shared their “drought strategies” on the drought planning website available at drought.unl.edu/ranchplan. The website was launched during the summer of 2011 by the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It features tabs titled “Before Drought,” “During Drought,” “After Drought.” Tonya Haigh, a rural sociologist with the NDMC, says the Center’s mission is to help lessen drought’s impacts on society. She explains that the U.S. Drought Monitor map and the Drought Impact Reporter — a site that archives droughtrelated news and individual producer reports — are both tools already offered by NDMC. Now, the website adds another facet to help ranchers create a written plan of their specific strategies to manage drought. Haigh shares that a common mistake landowners make with drought is a lack of planning. She says, “Human nature with regard to drought is to be aware,

Hereford.org

then become concerned, then panic as drought intensifies — but once it rains, people tend to return to apathy.” Instead of crisis management, Haigh and the NDMC team stress that producers should approach drought with preparedness and risk management strategies. “Planning, monitoring and prediction before drought can often lessen the severity of the impact of the drought,” says Haigh.

Online planning tool developed Over the last decade, the NDMC has conducted producer surveys and interviews on how ranchers were affected by drought and what management methods they felt were most beneficial to the sustainability of their ranch operations. “Most producers did think that their management methods helped them get through the drought,” shares Haigh. Management steps like stockpiling hay, being flexible with herd size and having water developments on their land were cited as beneficial. But, she adds that the producers also emphasized that there is no magic bullet during drought. Of this, Haigh says, “Definitely everyone’s situation and plans differ. Based on the input provided by producers, the Managing Drought Risk on the Ranch website was created with the aim of educating ranchers about drought and providing a format to develop their own individual ranch plans — with strategies before, during and after drought. Funding for the website is provided from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Risk Management Agency with collaborators from the NDMC, South Dakota State University, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Texas A&M-Kingsville. Materials on the site are generally applicable to the Great Plains region — from Texas to North Dakota. Haigh notes that the “Write a Plan” section on the website includes seven specific steps to assist ranchers with the process. These include forming a planning team that also considers conservation and financial expertise. Additionally, the vision and strategic objectives of the ranch must be considered as the drought plan is developed. Sample drought plans from eight Great Plains ranching operations are also included in the “Write a Plan” section on the site. Haigh says, “I think the lessons shared in these real life examples are one of the most helpful parts of the website.” Haigh notes that these eight case studies share their critical dates and the target conditions Hereford.org

they monitor during the year. Haigh says each landowner stresses how important it has been to have such dates. “A common recommendation that kept coming up from landowners and drought advisors as we put together this website was that the earlier producers make decisions and adjust stocking rates during drought, the better.”

Lessons learned One of the featured case studies on the Managing Drought website is that of the Welch Ranch from southern Colorado. Of their lessons learned, the Welches share: “You cannot drought proof a ranch. You can help and you can delay the effects and you can minimize them, but you can’t drought proof your ranch.” Haigh concurs. She adds, “The landowners we’ve surveyed emphasize that the planning you do early is definitely beneficial. This website is focused on defining drought options before, during and after drought happens.” She adds, “Then if your monitoring indicates a drought situation, the plan is there and the stress and uncertainty has less of an impact on your decision.” HW Editor’s Note: Access the Managing Drought Risk on the Ranch website at drought.unl.edu/ranchplan. The U.S. Drought Monitor map is available at droughtmonitor.unl.edu and the Drought Impact Reporter is available at droughtreporter.unl.edu. UNL offers a comprehensive drought risk management website.

How do ranchers deal with drought? Rural sociologist Tonya Haigh acknowledges that every ranch is unique and different. But through research conducted by the National Drought Mitigation Center, she says there are some commonalities among ranchers who have been successful at mitigating the effects of drought on their ranches. What are their strategies? Haigh shares this list:

• They know how much forage they are capable of producing,

rangeland resources.

• They build flexibility into their systems.

• They track rainfall and monitor their forage production. • They know when in the year they have to make decisions about stocking rates, and they stick to those dates.

how much rainfall it takes to produce that forage and what their forage demand is throughout the year.

• They manage to improve the health of their

• They know what they are going to do if their precipitation or forage levels tell them that they need to adjust the stocking rates.

• They think about the long-term health of their resources and the long-term financial management of their operations. HW

BIF Meets in Nebraska Highlights of the 2014 Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Research Symposium and Meeting. by Troy Smith

Merriam-Webster dictionary describes “commingling” as the act of blending thoroughly into a harmonious whole. That’s the objective when commingling calves, and it’s the objective of the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Research Symposium and Meeting. The annual forum brings together members of the research community and industry to discuss issues related to the genetic improvement of beef cattle. Convention attendees learn about technologies and management practices that can enhance the profitability of beef cattle production. This year’s BIF symposium was June 18-21 in Lincoln, Neb., and was hosted by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) and the Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC). The collaboration also allowed for special recognition of MARC’s 50th anniversary and its scientists’ contributions to the beef industry and BIF. During the opening session, geneticist and longtime MARC research leader Larry Cundiff recounted the facility’s development on the site of a World War II-era naval munitions depot. He also talked about MARC’s GermPlasm Evaluation (GPE) project, one of the largest and longest research projects for evaluating breed characteristics. The project examined 37 divergent beef breeds and yielded information for optimizing heterosis in cattle breeding. The GPE project also spawned across-breed expected progeny difference (EPD) values, which use adjustment factors to allow comparison of animals of different breeds.

MARC genomics research Current MARC geneticist Mark Thallman explained how the GPE project is now focusing on breeds most utilized by industry. Research goals include development of EPDs for novel traits including disease resistance,

The latter producing states, Funston

emphasized that crop residues are representative of the low-quality forages that comprise mature cow diets on many cow-calf operations. “If there is an alternative, why would we want to lock up our heifers and Rick Funston develop them on the kind of feed they will never see after they enter the breeding herd? It doesn’t make much sense,” stated Funston. “I think we do a heifer a huge disservice when we lock her up and feed her to gain 3 or 4 lb. per day.” In Funston’s opinion, a heifer never has to gain more than 1.5 lb. per day during the winter development period. Targeting modest gains from grazed cornstalks and supplemental protein can help contain feed costs. He suggested that targeting heifer breeding weights that approximate 50-55% of mature weight is optimum. Modest rate of gain during the winter can be followed by compensatory gain after going to green grass in the spring and should put suitable replacement heifers in good shape to breed. Funston cited advantages in managing replacement candidates more like stocker cattle and in making them lighter by design. A higher percentage of heifers may not breed during a defined breeding season, but Funston figures those heifers probably shouldn’t be cows anyway. Their lack of adaptability to the production environment has been determined early, and they should still be profitable when sold as yearling feeders. However, Funston said his research team has achieved artificial insemination (AI) pregnancy rates of up to 86% with heifers developed to lighter weights in low-input systems.

Don’t ignore accounting

“The solution is collaboration between countries. We can keep costs down by swapping data, and everybody wins,” Berry said, explaining how the dairy industries of many countries have shared genotypic and phenotypic information from their dairy populations. Berry said sharing phenotypes on a large collective population of animals increases the accuracy of genomic prediction, especially for novel traits for which there is limited phenotypic information. “Sharing genotypes voids costly duplication,” Berry added. “No competitive advantage is gained by genotyping the same animal twice.” Berry said the breeding goal of beef producers should be to improve the ability of animals to make a profit in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner. Each breeder must establish his or her own breeding objective by identifying and selecting for traits that generate revenue, hold down costs of production and address social and environmental concerns. Though much negative misinformation has been spread, Berry said the beef Genomics and selection industry worldwide has become Other BIF speakers discussed more environmentally friendly. opportunities to apply genomics However, to improve to selection for profitability and to further improved nutrient reduce the environmental content of beef footprint, he recommended and reduction of attention to reducing days the beef industry’s on feed, to increasing environmental growth rate and to footprint.

All of these things also contribute to added costs.

In her BIF presentation, Washington State University Animal Scientist Holly Neibergs said the apparent variation in susceptibility to bovine respiratory disease (BRD) between breeds or genetic lines of cattle suggests there is a genetic component involved. Neibergs noted that multiple institutions are collecting phenotypic Holly Neibergs data related to BRD as part of a USDA grant-funded research program. Researchers are looking for gene markers associated with BRD susceptibility. Neibergs said heritability is estimated to be in the low to moderate range. This information suggests that selecting for BRD-resistant cattle could have a real effect on disease prevalence and could help curb annual U.S beef industry losses attributed to BRD — about $500 million annually.

Improving profitability Efforts to merge genetics with management for improved profitability were discussed by a panel of producers including purebred and composite seedstock breeder Donnell Brown of RA Brown Ranch, Throckmorton, Texas. Brown said seedstock breeders should not overlook the consequences of increased production, citing the potential for accompanying production cost increases for their customers. He Donnell Brown advised increased focus on controlling inputs. He called selection indices “amazing tools” for making genetic change on multiple fronts. Panelist Lorna Marshall, Burlington, Colo., a seedstock producer and marketing manager for Genex Cooperative, said seedstock breeders must realize that commercial operators have more to worry about than genetics. And some of those things may be more important to their profitability. “We need ways to simplify genetic selection for very busy people. One selection index won’t meet every need in every environment,” Marshall said. Lorna Marshall Rounding out the panel was commercial producer JD Radakovich, Cody, Wyo. He agreed with Marshall, stating that improving the sustainability of the HooDoo Ranch has become a priority. Radakovich said using genetics that decreased average calf weaning weight, by 50 lb. actually was a profitable move. This reduction fit with long-term goals for reducing mature cow size, increasing calving ease and reducing harvested feed and labor requirements. During her presentation, Marshall said Hereford is the fastest growing breed of use by Genex customers using artificial insemination (AI) in commercial herds. HW JD Radakovich

In his presentation, Clay Mathis urged producers in the audience to give ample attention to accounting. While that aspect of ranching is not “the fun part” for most operators, the director of Texas A&M University’s King Ranch Institute for Ranch Management said good accounting is a trait of practical and profit-minded producers. He advised focus on optimizing weaning Clay Mathis rate, weaning weight, feed, labor and depreciation. He warned against ignoring that last factor. “The most profitable operations work hard to minimize depreciation,” Mathis emphasized, recommending implementation of a managerial accounting system which provides financial and statistical information required to make day-to-day decisions.

Hereford breeder attends elite beef industry conference Scott Bennett, Hereford breeder and government affairs associate from Red House, Va., was one of more than 60 young cattlemen and women selected to participate in the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) 35th Young Cattlemen’s Conference (YCC). Bennett was sponsored by the American Hereford Association. The YCC program is a comprehensive, nationwide tour of beef industry sectors, created to enhance leadership skills in beef industry professionals. “YCC is a prestigious and competitive program designed to foster the future leadership of our industry,” says Forrest Roberts, NCBA chief executive officer. “The participants selected to attend YCC were chosen because of their exceptional contributions to the beef industry and their potential to be a strong voice in our future development. I look forward to seeing Scott take an increased leadership role within NCBA and the beef industry.” Bennett grew up in Red House, Va., on his family’s diversified seedstock cattle operation, Knoll Crest Farm. He graduated from Virginia Tech in agricultural economics and political science in 2012, as well as the University of Virginia’s Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership in 2011. During his tenure at Virginia Tech, Bennett helped establish the Beef Industry Leadership Council, was a member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity and was active in the Student Government Association, serving as director of governmental affairs. Upon graduation, Bennett returned home to the family farm, assisting in marketing 350 purebred bulls per year across three breeds in two annual sales. He has also assisted the Virginia Cattlemen’s Association in its state legislative efforts. Bennett currently lives in Arlington, Va., where he works as the government affairs associate for the Keys Group LLC, a government affairs firm representing clients in the meat packing and animal health industries. Bennett also works with Cotton & Associates, helping manage purebred cattle sales across the country. “YCC is an excellent opportunity to network with other young industry professionals while learning about the opportunities and challenges that beef producers across the country face daily,” Bennett says.

The eight day tour began at NCBA headquarters in Denver, where participants were given an organizational overview of NCBA and the Beef Checkoff Program. While in Denver, the group also heard from representatives of CattleFax and the U.S. Meat Export Federation. They toured a Safeway retail store and learned about Rancher’s Reserve brand beef marketing efforts. The group spent a day in Greeley, Colo., visiting JBS Five Rivers feed yards and processing facilities. “It is important for young producers to understand and see each sector of the beef industry — from pasture to plate,” Bennett says. “Traveling from a cow-calf ranch to a feedlot and processing plant really drives home the point that our industry is composed of many sectors which are all committed to produce a healthy end product.” In Chicago the group met with the senior management of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange at the Chicago Board of Trade. They had the chance to watch the activity on the trading floor and to witness futures trading firsthand. Participants also visited Otto & Sons Industries, a family owned company providing quality products and custom solutions for the food industry since 1909. This tour offered a view of how boxed beef is turned into custom order portions for both major restaurant chains and some of the nation’s top steakhouses. The group then traveled to Washington, D.C., where participants received an issues briefing from NCBA’s government affairs staff about policy issues currently facing the cattle industry. The group then traveled to Aldie, Va., for a tour and barbeque at Whitestone Farms, a purebred Angus operation. The next day, these young cattlemen and women were given the opportunity to visit one-on-one with members of their state’s congressional delegation, expressing their viewpoints regarding the beef industry and their cattle operations. During their congressional visits, participants focused on issues including international trade, federal lands ranching and overreaching regulations proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency. They finished the day with a reception hosted by John Deere at the company’s Washington office. For more information on the YCC program, contact Marvin Kokes at 303-850-3339 or mkokes@beef.org.
