World’s Perspective

Trade Your Complaints

by Cristin Tavernaro

Exchange your complaints for joy and gratitude.

Cristin Tavernaro is the managing editor of Hereford World. She can be reached at ctavernaro@hereford.org.

| December 2021

Growing up, I discovered one of my favorite old sitcoms was “I Love Lucy.” In fact, I loved Lucy so much my family named our cattle dog after her. Our pup shared a similar spunk and orneriness with her namesake. In one episode, Lucy finally gets an acting role in a commercial as the spokesperson for a new wellness product advertised to solve all of life’s problems. In an opening line of the script, Lucy asks, “Are you tired, run down, listless?” Several times this year that line came to mind because I have often felt tired, run down and listless. I think many share these feelings as 2021 sometimes felt the same as the year before. Looking around, it does not take much time to find something that evokes frustration or a similar emotion. If you have ever been surrounded by a group of people who constantly complain, it can be almost too easy to join in. Before you know it, you are also constantly announcing your complaints. Research suggests some people can complain up to 30 times per day. To account for time you are awake, that would equal almost two times each hour — yikes! So, to counteract this, I am here to encourage the ever-sopopular message of joy for the holidays. However, this joy is less like the type easily found on Christmas morning and more the kind you dig deep to find and intentionally choose. Farmers and ranchers know all about dealing with the frustration of uncontrollable elements. It can seem like the only thing certain in agriculture is uncertainty. We know in this industry it is better to focus on what we can control. As for the rest, we can prepare for uncertainty, manage risk, control our reactions in problematic situations and exchange complaints for contentment and gratitude.

No, not all our problems can be solved with the contents of one little bottle like Lucy’s concoction suggested, but we can control whether we complain about inconveniences or find reasons for joy and thankfulness. This year’s American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting and Conference celebrated such cattlemen and women, as well as youth, who exemplified the theme “Where Grit Builds Greatness.” These folks know well what it means to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and work with what they have. The Hereford breed is lucky to know such tenacious individuals.

In this issue

The AHA hosted its 2021 Annual Membership Meeting and Conference in October. More than 500 attended the event. In a special section starting on Page 26 we honor the many men and women of the Hereford breed who continue to do marvelous work within the Hereford breed and the beef industry. On behalf of the AHA, we would like to thank those who attended as well as our industry sponsors for making this event possible. Looking ahead, Cattlemen’s Congress is set to take place Jan. 5 in Oklahoma City. The AHA will host the Hereford Night Sale at the event Jan. 7. Sale listings start on Page 65. Drought conditions are still affecting much of the western United States. Read about ways to manage drought during the winter months on Page 104. I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I encourage you to be mindful of the joy you can choose and let go of your complaints. I also challenge you to see how long you can carry out that task into the new year. Perhaps you will make joy a habit.

Breed Focus

Power into 2022

by Jack Ward

Double-down on your commitment to building genetics that make a difference.

Jack Ward is the executive vice president of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at jward@hereford.org.

| December 2021

“Come Home to Hereford, Where Grit Builds Greatness.” Focusing on grit as the central theme for this year’s American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Report was as appropriate as it is obvious, given the unique challenges everyone faced in 2021. Tom Field, Paul Engler chair of agribusiness at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, focused on grit during his presentation at the Educational Forums during the AHA Annual Membership Meeting and Conference. He shared this definition: “Grit is the dogged pursuit of what we care deeply about, that with meaning and purpose.” This definition aptly describes the cattle industry and Hereford breeders. As cattle producers, AHA members demonstrate grit as they continue to face a variety of challenges fostered by the pandemic, in addition to traditional ones. As craftsmen and craftswomen, Hereford breeders display grit as they embrace the challenge and opportunity of providing commercial cow-calf producers with answers to management and economic challenges. Hereford’s foundational traits of fertility, longevity, docility and efficiency are all part of the solution. These inherent advantages are magnified when commercial producers utilize Hereford within a crossbreeding program. There is heterosis, of course, but with Hereford it is heterosisplus. The Hereford breed is the most distantly related Bos taurus breed, as illustrated through the 2000 bull project, conducted by the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center. So, other than using Bos indicus breeds, Hereford genetics provide producers with English and Continental cattle the most hybrid pop. Plus, crossbreeding provides the biggest boost to more lowly heritable traits such as fertility and longevity.

Answering Consumer Concerns

Cattle producers and the beef industry will continue to receive increasing scrutiny from consumers and policy makers. They demand to know more about how their beef is raised and are especially interested in animal welfare, environmental impact and sustainability. The same Hereford genetic advantages that provide solutions to the commercial cow-calf sector also address these consumer concerns. All of this offers Hereford breeders the opportunity to continue growing market share. While expanding demand for Hereford genetics will never be easy, AHA members have already demonstrated their commitment to combining keen stockmanship with the necessary tools to make genuine, positive differences for their customers — tools like genomic evaluation and Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™). That takes grit. Hereford breeders need to maintain this commitment to embracing the tools available for genetic improvement. But, they must also keep steady focus on other key areas, such as progressive animal health and precise management to supply the industry with cattle that answer consumer demands for quality and sustainability. All of this will continue to increase the value of Hereford genetics. “You can’t ignore some level of skill and ability, but at the end of the day, sustained success comes from one thing: the ability to stick with the process, stick with the fight and do the work when it’s easy and when it’s hard,” Field said. I challenge each of you to begin 2022 with a resolution to not only build a better product, but to use as many sources as possible to market your program and the Hereford breed. During this holiday season, enjoy time spent with family and friends. My family and the AHA staff wish all of you a Merry Christmas. May God bless each of you. Hereford.org

Performance Matters

Genetic Sustainability

by Shane Bedwell

Share Hereford’s efficiency advantages.

Shane Bedwell is the chief operating officer and director of breed improvement of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at sbedwell@hereford.org.

Congratulations to all of the award winners and honorees recognized during the recent American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting and Conference in Kansas City, Mo. Your dedication and commitment to the breed are inspiring. It was exciting to see those big smiles on the faces of the juniors who earned top honors in the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout. This educational opportunity and competition provides young people the opportunity to learn about the entire cattle business, while also gathering data to improve the genetics in their herds. I’m thankful for these youngsters’ willingness and dedication to take advantage of the opportunity.

Track and share your progress

AHA members are commended for the breed’s extraordinary genetic progress in most every trait. Keep in mind the value of studying benchmark reports through your MyHerd account to track your unique herd’s phenotypic trends and genetic trends relative to breed average. Besides providing guide posts for your genetic journey, this information arms you with key talking points to share with customers and prospects. It’s one thing to say you have made progress but it’s another to show the progress you have made in specific traits. Similarly, I hope you have developed your one-minute elevator speech. There is no better time than now to tout the obvious inherent Hereford advantages. Be ready to share the key messages of how Hereford genetics can positively impact your customer’s bottom line.

Efficiency — Key to sustainability In our output-driven society, it is easy for some to forget efficiency is one Hereford advantage. It’s time to challenge the outrageous, continued drive so many in the industry have to

| December 2021

breed more growth on top of growth, especially when added growth is typically achieved without gains in efficiency. This misguided effort is even more damaging when replacement females are retained, which is typically the case. Countless studies document the ability of the Hereford breed to produce more with fewer inputs — Hereford cattle consume 2 pounds less feed per day, on average, compared to any other breed. That’s an efficiency homerun from pasture to plate. Beyond feed efficiency, when compared to straightbred Angus cattle, 7-10% more Hereford-sired black baldy females become pregnant. As would be expected, based on reports I receive, this advantage is larger this year in areas challenged by drought. Again, Hereford and Hereford-sired females require fewer inputs than their counterparts to support reproduction, so more stay bred. If that’s not sustainability I do not know what it is. Sustainability will continue to be a buzzword as consumers demand increasing levels of accountability. Cattle are part of the answer to sustainability concerns and always have been, due to their ability to convert otherwise unusable forages into humanedible protein. Between 1961 and 2018, the U.S. beef industry reduced emissions per pound of beef by more than 40% while producing more than 60% more beef per animal, according to research funded by the Beef Checkoff. Hereford has the most compelling story. We must recognize Hereford efficiency is a key part of the sustainability solution. That’s worth incorporating into your customer messaging as you continue to make improvements in your herd. Let’s keep this train of Hereford enthusiasm stoked and rolling. Merry Christmas!

F ear not: for, behold,

I bring you good tidings of great joy… “The Christmas Story”

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:1-14 KJV

Spring Inventory Early Bird Deadline

by Laura Loschke

Spring 2022 herd inventories are generated in December for Whole Herd Total Performance Record (TPR®) members. Check your mail or your MyHerd.org account for your herd inventory and remember to turn it in by Jan. 15 to receive a $0.25 per-head discount on every female maintained on the inventory. Inventories turned in between Jan. 16 and March 1 will be charged the normal $5.50 per cow, $3 per

Keep in mind your reproductive status and disposal code options: Reproductive status codes

NS – Next season NE – Non-exposed CE6 – Calf born dead or died shortly after CE7 – Aborted/premature CE8 – Open, missed out CE9 – Died, calving difficulty CE10 – ET donor dam CE11 – ET recipient dam CE12 – Multi-owned, no calf

first-time heifer and $1.50 per bull (optional). Any inventories turned in after March 1 will incur the $2 per head surcharge. In order to register progeny and record their weaning performance through the Whole Herd TPR program, their dam must be listed on the current inventory.

Inventory FAQs

Q: I sold a cow and transferred her to someone else’s ownership. Why is she still showing on my inventory? A: If an animal is listed on your inventory but you have sold the animal, then a proper disposal code and date must be reported in order to remove the animal from your inventory. If the animal was sold with papers, AHA staff does not automatically remove the animal from your inventory because they are not certain if you still have offspring to register from the animal. If you would like to remove the animal, use the disposal code “T sold with papers” and the appropriate disposal date. Q: If I have embryo transfer (ET) calves out of a dam I do not own, do I have to add the donor dam to my inventory? A: No, you do not have to add the donor dam to your inventory. However, a recipient cow inventory fee for each ET calf will be billed if the calf is recorded with birth performance information (birth weight). If birth performance information is not reported, a recipient inventory fee will not be billed.

Q: If I jointly own a dam with someone else, but I do not have physical possession of the dam and will not be registering her calf, how do I need to mark her on my inventory? A: If you multi-own a dam with someone else, you will want to make sure you keep the dam on your inventory. However, if you are not the member who will be registering her calf, you will want to mark her as “CE12 Multi-owned, no calf.” Q: I have females that are not showing up on my inventory. Why? A: Remember, females will not appear on the inventory until they have reached at least 18 months of age. Heifers should only be enrolled on the inventory for the season in which they are bred to calve. In this instance, Spring 2022. Inventories can be submitted electronically through MyHerd.org or via mail or email. As always, if you are having problems navigating through MyHerd, you can view the MyHerd help pages, view more than 20 tutorials or call Customer Service at 816-842-3757.

CHB Bites

CHB is a Preferred Beef Brand at Local Events

“CHB Bites” is a column designed to keep you in-the-know about the Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) program. To get involved with CHB on social media, search Certified Hereford Beef on Facebook and Pinterest, @certifiedherefordbeef on Instagram and @crtherefordbeef on Twitter.

CHB steaks served at Gold Buckle Gala Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) donated steaks to the Gold Buckle Gala, the annual fundraising event for the Ozark Empire Fair in Springfield, Mo. The gala is a fun-filled night with a silent auction, livestock sale, and dinner to recognize and raise funds for the Southwest Missouri 4-H and FFA livestock exhibitors who have qualified for the auction. Aaron Owen, Ozark Empire Fairgrounds and Event Center general manager, says gala attendees raved about the flavorful CHB steak served at the dinner portion of the event.

“Everyone loved the steak,” Owen says. “If I gave you a list of phone numbers of everyone from the event, I don’t think you would find a single complaint.”

| December 2021

Each year, Owen looks forward to the generous donation from Certified Hereford Beef and the flavorful beef experience he can provide to the gala attendees. “I am a Simmental guy, but CHB steaks always taste the best to me, and I’m sure a lot of other people would agree with me on that,” Owen says. “Certified Hereford Beef has done an amazing job with the brand, and the flavor of the products is always amazing.” Each year, the Gold Buckle Gala team strives to elevate the gala and provide new opportunities for the youth. “Since its establishment in 2003, the gala is the event of the season and our biggest fundraiser,” Owen says. “We work year round to provide opportunities for the youth, and the ticket money proceeds from the gala go back into new facilities, grants, scholarships and major projects for the fairgrounds.” More than 600 guests attended the event, and several records were broken during the market livestock show sale. Ticket sales also increased. “This year’s gala was a huge success. We were happy to have attendance back up,” Owen says. “We broke several records and are proud of the new strides we make each year.”

CHB ribeye steaks served at TableSteaks

CHB ribeye steaks were served as the featured steak at TableSteaks, the American Royal’s annual social event, Sept. 30 in Kansas City, Mo. The exclusive and extravagant evening celebrates the American Royal’s most dedicated supporters through fine dining and entertainment. Jack Ward, American Hereford Association executive vice president, and his wife, MaryAnn, attended the high-end affair on behalf of Certified Hereford Beef, a bronze sponsor of the event. “The Certified Hereford Beef brand was very well represented at the event, and we were proud to be there,” Ward says. The flavorful CHB ribeye steaks were enjoyed by guests and added the perfect flavor to an exceptional meal. “The steaks tasted amazing,” Ward adds. “It was a great eating experience, and I know everyone enjoyed the noteworthy meal and event.” For more information about Certified Hereford Beef, visit CertifiedHerefordBeef.com or email info@herefordbeef.org

Floods of Compassion

by Libby Rushton

In the early morning hours of Aug. 21, 2021, unexpected rain began to fall on the town of McEwen, Tenn., and it didn’t let up. This rain led to local flooding which began to run downhill toward the neighboring town of Waverly. Even though Waverly received less rain, the runoff from McEwen caused Trace Creek to begin to flood the town. Flooding has happened several times in recent years, and many residents began to go through the “routine” process of getting their possessions to safety. Unlike any previous routine, though, Trace Creek pooled behind the railroad tracks along Highway 70. In an unexpected turn of events, the ground beneath the railroad tracks gave way and acted like a levy breach, sending fast water into the town, catching everyone off guard.

Waverly flooded in a matter of minutes and total devastation was left in the wake. After the waters receded, some 700 homes were flooded in the county, 271 were completely destroyed, most being in Waverly. Sheriff Chris Davis was quoted as saying, “We have well over 125 homes that are just gone — off the foundation, twisted, turned or just gone.” Waverly Elementary School and Waverly Junior High School were completely destroyed, and the local high school was also affected. Roads, including main highway routes into the town, including Main Street itself, were impassible into the first evening. Numerous crops, livestock and fences were lost throughout this county that is home to three rivers and numerous creeks. Cell phone service was down, which made search and rescue efforts more difficult while many were missing and 20 lives lost. This sadly only scratches the surface of that horrible event. Someone said they were so thankful for those whom the world calls “a bunch of rednecks,” who took to the water in john boats, jet skis or just waded in to help others. That day many churches were open as shelters, and people offered rooms in their own homes to complete strangers. Even before emergency supplies arrived, they were cooking, boiling water, blowing up air mattresses and bringing anything they could offer. They were searching, helping, praying and simply “loving their neighbor as themselves.” When roads opened the next day, help was sent from everywhere. Waverly was again flooded, not by water but by love from neighboring communities and states. We were so humbled and grateful. Waverly is my hometown and these are my people. It was this place that shaped me into who I am today. I was educated in the

Libby Rushton, membership chair

classrooms of those destroyed schools, and we have all said a prayer of thanks that this happened on Saturday instead of Friday. I began to realize I appreciated these “salt of the earth” people even more because I was raised in farming and ranching communities among them. Where many were surprised by the flood of love, I recognized the faces of hard work, compassion and strength that is influenced by being involved with rural 4-H, FFA and cattle showing communities. I had seen firsthand people coming together from near and far during times of need through my Herford family, whether it was just lending a helping hand in the barn or fundraising to support our fellow breeders. I always knew that my Hereford family was there for each other no matter the circumstance. This time was no different. The Hereford community has been a major part of my home’s rebuild, and in today’s reflection, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for investing in and raising young people, like me, who know what helping their neighbor is all about. Thank you for your continued prayers for my hometown. We still have a long road ahead.

Foundation’s Focus by Ray Ramsey

Foundation Celebrates Monumental Growth

This year HYFA net assets reached $5.4 million to support the continuation of the Hereford legacy. Through the years, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) experienced monumental milestones, but none more exciting than net assets surpassing the $5 million mark in fiscal year 2021. As the Foundation pays it forward to create a legacy for future generations, HYFA’s commitment to Hereford youth continues to grow. From classrooms, to feedyards and events both in and out of the showring, HYFA and its benefactors are steadfast supporters of Hereford youth, and they are paving the way for the next $5 million for the next generation. Each fall Hereford youth reap the benefits of the Foundation, and this year was no exception as 24 National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members were awarded $160,000 in scholarships on Oct. 22, during the 2021 American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting and Conference. This means more than $1.5 million dollars of scholarships have been awarded since HYFA was founded in 2000. The scholarship selection committees continue to be impressed by the high caliber of college-aged students who apply for scholarships. Through the years, the Foundation expanded to help fund diverse and exciting programs and opportunities for Hereford youth, one being the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). The 2021 event in Kansas City, Mo., drew 1,385 entries from 40 states and Canada. The live competitions were viewed online by 11,000 people from 48 states and five countries. This show has become so successful it requires the largest facilities in

| December 2021

the country to host the weeklong event. To help with these unique challenges and keep the tradition growing, HYFA maintains a legacy fund and a steering committee. Additionally, many junior members have benefited from the Faces of Leadership Conference HYFA has helped fund the last several years. With the help of Coley-Malir Leadership Endowment, the 2021 Faces of Leadership Conference, in Oklahoma City, hosted 81 junior members from 22 states. The Fed Steer Shootout is another HYFA-funded junior program. It offers participants a unique opportunity to follow their cattle through the feedlot, showcase their genetics’ production at the consumer level and expand their knowledge beyond the showring. This year, 133 Hereford and commercial steers were fed at HRC Feed Yards, Scott City, Kan. There was also a field day held in conjunction with this year’s program, hosting 65 NJHA members, their families and industry leaders. HYFA now houses a research fund component, which the AHA utilizes to fund research benefiting the total breed membership. So, whether you want to support juniors through scholarships and opportunities or want your contributions to be used for research or other purposes, we welcome you to get in touch and identify the best fit. Looking back on where HYFA started compared to where we are now, we feel the sky is the limit for this Foundation with our industry’s continuous support and commitment to the Hereford breed.

Thanks for your support

A huge thank you to all of those who have supported the NJHA and HYFA this fall. Thank you to Ryan and Betsy Chapman, owners of Chapman Land and Cattle, Nunnelly, Tenn., who purchased the “Choice of Champions” Lot 1 package in the Ladies of the Royal Sale for $22,000. Their sponsorship will tremendously support the planning of the 2022 JNHE, Banners in the Bluegrass, in Louisville, Ky. Thanks to Springhill Herefords, Blue Rapids, Kan., for their support of the Gemstone flush offered in Jensen Bros. Herefords The Chosen Sale, which raised $5,000 to support HYFA. The National Hereford Women (NHW) work throughout the year to support HYFA’s scholarship mission. We are excited to announce a new scholarship endowment that will fund the Ostgaard-Breiner Educational Scholarships that will be offered in the spring of 2022 for nontraditional students. Thank you to the NHW for the $63,000 gift to HYFA. Thank you to everyone who was involved in the Sale of Champions auction supporting the 2022 JNHE. More than $20,000 was raised to help make this event truly exceptional. From the buyers to the bidders and donors, thank you. We hope to see you in Louisville, Ky., July 16-22, for Banners in the Bluegrass. Ray Ramsey is the Hereford Youth Foundation of America president.

Congratulations, Barbara, on a well-deserved achievement.

Royal gathering

After the NHW board meeting, members headed out to the American Royal Complex for the Ladies of the Royal sale. Thank you, Kay Knight, for designing a beautiful rose gold Hereford pendant. Carol Haygood, Mangum, Okla., won the necklace. Lot 2 of the Ladies of the Royal sale, a .22 Henry Silver Eagle Second Edition rifle, was purchased by a large group of Hereford influencers. They gifted the rifle to long-time Hereford breed representative John Meents who is retiring after his many years of service to the Hereford community. After the National Hereford Show on Sunday, NHW crowned Lauren Gatz of Kansas the 2022 National Hereford Queen. First Runner-Up was Madison Sifford from Virginia, and Second RunnerUp was Jenna Smith of Iowa. Miss Congeniality went to Josie Correll of North Carolina.

Lifelong Learning

Educational forums during October’s American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting and Conference in Kansas City, Mo., provided members and guests a mix of inspiration, business insight and critical thought.

but it’s our own mindset that separates us from growth and stagnation. Talent is part of the foundation. You can’t ignore some level of skill and ability, but at the end of the day, success comes from one thing — the ability to stick with the process, stick with the fight, do the work when it’s easy and when it’s hard.” Field shared one more thing that should hearten Hereford breeders. “At a time when resilience is going to matter more in biology than it has for a long time, you happen to have a genetic base of resilient biology, and the industry is going to need it, in my opinion,” Field said.

Grit is Future Critical

“T

hink about where you grew up and then be thankful that God gave that to you because it probably set your mind differently than so many people,” said Tom Field, Paul Engler chair of agribusiness at the University of NebraskaLincoln. “If you live in an agricultural world, you get a chance to see horizons that the average person doesn’t get a chance to see.” Such a view fosters what Field terms an abundance mindset; for example, being able to see past a drought rather than focus on it. Scarcity thinkers only stare at the parched ground in front of them. “You are abundance thinkers,” Field said. “You have always been abundance thinkers because you don’t know another way.” Coming out of the pandemic, when some hunkered in place and others kept going, he believes having and creating an abundance mindset will say much about the future of the United States. Sociologists use the term VUCA to describe the environment, according to Field. VUCA stands for volatile, uncertain times filled with chaos and ambiguity. Pointing to the National Junior Hereford Association board members in attendance, he continued, “They have never lived during a time that wasn’t a VUCA time. They’ve lived with uncertainty their entire lives.” Like their parents, though, they have an abundance mindset. That takes grit. “Grit is the dogged pursuit of what we care deeply about, that with meaning and purpose,” Field explained, sharing a

dictionary definition. “Not everybody in the world has grit. Our job as blue collar professionals is to absolutely advocate for the demonstration and creation of grit in the next generation, for if we fail this, the republic will fail.”

Taking next steps

The AHA Board of Directors selected Field and Kevin Ochsner, Agcellerate president, to facilitate the organization’s next strategic planning process. “You’re undertaking a strategic initiative as an organization, and as you think about that, it’s important to remember this quote from management consultant, Tom Peters: From innovation to execution and customer connections, our internal barriers, not our competitor’s cleverness, are the principle impediments to superior performance” Field said. “We want to grow a business. We don’t ignore the competition,

Quality bar rising

Domestic beef demand is the strongest it has been in three decades. Beef gained about 2% market share per year for the last two decades. U.S. beef exports through September 2021 were on a record pace in terms of volume and value. Kevin Good, CattleFax analyst and vice president of industry relations, said this is all a result of listening to the consumer. “Think about grade, think about consistency. They are the driving points,” Good explained. “Today, we have a much better product than we had in the past and our customers are rewarding us with more dollars.” For perspective, 72.7% of all beef cattle graded Choice in 2020 and 10.2% graded Prime, according to USDA’s Estimated National Grading Summary. Just 10 years earlier, 60.1% were Choice and 3.4% were Prime. Through October this year, 72.6% were Choice and 10.1% were Prime.

Packing capacity

“Pre-COVID, we had a just-in-time meat supply chain,” Bennett said, explaining packing plants chugged at full capacity, harvest animals left for slaughter as quick as they were ready, and meat left the plants and entered the supply chain immediately. “After seeing some grocery store shelves empty in April and May of 2020, seeing part of the supply chain just jam up, I think the general public is wanting to go to a just-in-case meat supply chain,” Bennett said. He explained that’s the impetus behind consumer and lawmaker interest in developing small, regional packing capacity.

Price discovery

Bennett noted heightened interest in cattle markets by Congress and producers. Plenty of that was driven by the eye-popping price difference between wholesale beef prices and fed cattle prices. AFBF is currently the only producer trade association in Washington, D.C., that supports some form of mandatory minimum cash fed cattle trade, in order to increase price discovery. However, Bennett pointed out it would not necessarily be the silver bullet many want. “Increased price discovery doesn’t necessarily mean higher prices. In fact, it could be the reverse,” Bennett said. “It could lower prices for producers.” On a related note, Bennett emphasized the need for Congress to reauthorize

Livestock Mandatory Reporting, which mandates public price reporting.

Gene editing

“I’m sure it’s alarming to a lot of folks. My family [Knoll Crest Farm] has had Hereford cattle since 1944. The reason we are in the business is that generation after generation we selectively breed those cattle to become better, and it takes time,” Bennett explained. Now, technology enables making immediate changes like polling horned cattle or making black ones red. Less talked about gene edits include such things as making cattle resistant to specific diseases or more adapted to specific climates. So far, U.S. laws mostly prohibit gene-editing technology, so developers are going to other countries. “American Farm Bureau, with other trade associations, is working vehemently with USDA and FDA to try to come up with some kind of regulatory protocol that makes sense, that actually encourages development of this technology,” Bennett explained. “Even though you may disagree with the potential it has, it’s much better to have it in our own backyard than in another country where we don’t have the ability to control the outcomes.”

Building calf immunity

“The ability to prevent or, in some cases, cure disease by turning on the immune system is really an

incredible opportunity,” Scott Nordstrom, DVM, Merck Animal Health director of new product development, said. Along with some insightful vaccine history, Nordstrom shared specifics about the role of mucosal immunology in young calves.

Calf and mucosal immunology

“Almost from the moment of conception, a calf has an innate immune system. It recognizes foreign pathogens, though it may not yet be able to produce antibodies,” Nordstrom explained. “Around the second trimester, the calf is starting to develop a specific acquired immune system, meaning it will see a foreign pathogen, it will create antibodies, it will create cell-mediated immunity and it will be able to expel the pathogen.” Once born, Nordstrom said the single most important thing for the immune system of the calf is to make sure it receives colostrum. But, colostrum poses a challenge to vaccination. “When we give a traditional subcutaneous vaccine, calves typically do not respond well because those circulating antibodies they’ve gotten from the colostrum will bind the antigen and prevent it from providing the full and robust immune response,” Nordstrom explained. “The other problem is that antibodies wane at different levels.”

For instance, he said protective bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) antibodies last a short time, while protective antibodies for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) and bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) can last six or seven months. Those are reasons Merck Animal Health continues to research mucosal immunology and develop mucosal vaccines. In simple terms, equate “mucosal” with the skin’s surface, as well as the surfaces of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. The mucosal system contains cells that react uniquely to pathogens. “If I give a vaccine intranasally, I produce IgA [Immunoglobulin A], which is an antibody that coats the mucosal surfaces. If I give the same vaccine subcutaneously, the only thing I get is IgG [Immunoglobulin G], which circulates,” Nordstrom explained. “If you use an intranasal vaccine, it stimulates the IgA, which binds the pathogen at the surface. It also creates memory and IgG, so if the pathogen does breech the surface it gets bound up by the circulating IgG.” According to Nordstrom, the advantages of intranasal vaccines are that they are needle-free, they appear to be less objectionable to young calves, they create a comparable immune response, and they provide better response in the face of maternal antibodies than most subcutaneous antigens, with the exception of BVD.

New AHA Board of Directors Elected A

merican Hereford Association (AHA) voting delegates elected Chad Breeding, Miami, Texas; Lou Ellen Harr, Jeromesville, Ohio; and Travis McConnaughy, Wasola, Mo., to serve a four-year term on the 12-member Board of Directors. Bruce Everhart, Waldron, Ind., was elected the 2022 AHA president and Bill Goehring, Libertyville, Iowa, was elected vice president. Completing their terms on the AHA Board were retiring president Mark St. Pierre, El Nido, Calif.; and directors Nate Frederickson, Spearfish, S.D., and Joe Waggoner, Carthage, Miss.

look forward to visiting with members and industry leaders to address their questions and learn ideas to continue propelling our breed forward.” The Everhart operation sells bulls, steers and heifers to commercial cattlemen and junior members in the Midwest. They utilize grass and wooded pastures unsuited for corn and soybean production. The herd began with junior heifers purchased annually from Wiese and Sons over 15 years. Breeding some of the best females from this iconic herd to elite Hereford bulls produced champions at state and national shows. The highlights of the Everhart program are raising the reserve supreme heifer at the Indiana State Fair and the reserve national champion female at the Junior National Hereford Expo. Bruce retired in 2018 after a 40-year career in agricultural banking. He managed a team in the Midwest with Wells Fargo Bank. Everhart is also a board member and past president of the Indiana Hereford Association. Bruce serves on the Rush Shelby Energy cooperative board and is a member of the Indiana State Fair Commission. He and his wife have two children — son, Blake (Ashley) and daughter Jordan (Brian) — and six grandchildren.

2022 AHA Vice President

Bill Goehring, Libertyville, Iowa is the 2021 AHA vice president. The Goehring family began in the Hereford business in 1973. Goehring Herefords’ registered cow herd consists of 150 spring-calving cows and 50 fall-calving cows. Their commercial Angus herd includes 400 spring-calving cows and heifers.

New directors

Chad Breeding of Miami, Texas, was raised working on his family’s registered Hereford operation, B&C Cattle Co. When he was 4 years old he was already riding horseback with his granddad, Earl, checking the herd. After graduating high school in 1988, he went to college. After completing his degree at Texas A&M University, Chad returned home to the family operation, which markets about 100 Hereford bulls and 50 replacement females annually. Chad’s knowledge, gleaned from his father, William Breeding, gave him the ability to compete with show cattle on a national level, while also producing beef cattle with the genetic merit the market demands. Through the continued use of AI and embryo transfer (ET), the B&C brand is trusted across the country for sound, functional cattle that work in the showring and excel in the pasture. While they sell a few show heifers, the majority of their cattle are sold to the commercial producer, mostly to Brahman cowmen who produce the sought after F1. Chad and his wife, Erin, have five children — Austin, 21; Blayke, 19; Wyatt and Lillian, 4; and Blair, 2. Fatherhood emphasized the importance of family and the value of passing down honesty, an ethic of hard work and a better life. After returning to Miami, a small town in the Texas Panhandle, Chad became active in the community. He has served on the stock show board since 2002 and as chairman since 2010. He was elected to the city council in November of 2005. He has been the Miami mayor since 2009. He also serves on the board of trustees of the First Christian Church. Chad is an active member of the Texas Hereford Association, serving on the board since 2011, including stints as president in 2016 and 2017.

Lou Ellen Harr, along with her husband, Jeff, and daughter, Keayla, own and operate J&L Cattle Services in Jeromesville, Ohio. The operation started in 1996 when Lou Ellen’s employer, Big T Ranch, was sold, and one of the farms was purchased. Originally a custom fitting service with a handful of cows, the operation evolved to about 100 females, including 70 registered Hereford cows and some registered Angus cows and commercial cows used as ET recipients. J&L custom raises and collects data on approximately 100 head of heifers for purebred clients. A small feedlot completes the enterprise with the fat cattle marketed on the rail to a sourceverified program demanding Choice and Prime carcasses. The family farms hay and row crops. Cattle carrying the JLCS prefix are marketed through a semi-annual sale, the J&L and Guests Sale. Since the first sale in 2005, cattle have sold into more than 20 states and Canada. Growing up on a small Missouri farm with a few Hereford cows, Lou Ellen attended the University of Missouri and Kansas State University to obtain a master’s degree in reproductive physiology. She then went to work for Hereford breeders in Missouri and Virginia before managing the show and sale cattle at Big T Ranch in Ohio. Besides managing the day-to-day operations at J&L, Lou Ellen works more than 10 purebred Hereford sales each year where she helps sell cattle. Lou Ellen teaches at the Ohio State University Agriculture Technical Institute where she educates college students about livestock evaluation and selection. Lou Ellen and Jeff have helped numerous young people get involved in the Hereford breed and are strong advocates of the NJHA. Lou Ellen is a lifetime member of the AHA, having previously served on the nominating committee. As a director of the Buckeye Polled Hereford Association, she served on the committee that joined the state’s polled and horned Hereford

associations. Lou Ellen currently serves on the Ohio Beef Council. J&L Cattle Services was named Seedstock Producer of the Year by the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association in 2018. Travis McConnaughy was born and raised on a seedstock Hereford operation previously owned by his grandparents, Calvin and Jean Watson. Travis and wife, Sarah, own and operate the family’s ranch, which is now known as WMC Cattle Company. They have expanded the ranch to include 1,300 acres, approximately 300 Hereford cows and 150 commercial cows. WMC Cattle Company is a progressive program that collects carcass ultrasound measurements and actual data on their purebred calves, in addition to using the latest technology, such as AI, ET and genomics. WMC Cattle Company hosted its first annual female production sale in 2019 — the Ladies of the Ozarks. Next came the first annual WMC Bull and Commercial female sale in 2020. Travis manages the ranch as a business. He demands high performance from his cattle with minimal inputs. His high standards, open mind and willingness to change stack the odds toward the operation’s financial sustainability for generations to come. Currently, the next generation includes Jett, 7, and Watson, 6. WMC Meat Co., a small meat sales business, is the ranch’s most recent addition. It opened another avenue for the ranch to capitalize on the quality it produces. Travis is the current president of the Missouri Hereford Association; he was vice-president the previous two years and has been on the board six years. In 2020, WMC Cattle Company was recognized as the Missouri Purebred Breeder of the Year. Beyond the Hereford scene, Travis is a fifth-year member of the Ozark County Soil & Water board. He is also serving his second term as president and his fifth year as a board member of the Farm Service Agency.

2021 ANNUAL MEETING AND CONVENTION COVERAGE

Hall of Fame, Merit Inductees Honored Hall of Fame

Jim Courtney, Alzada, Mont.; Lawrence Duncan, Wingate, Ind.; Bob Harrell, Baker City, Ore.; and Dale Micheli, Fort Bridger, Wyo., were inducted into the Hereford Hall of Fame during the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting and Conference. The Hall of Fame award is presented annually and recognizes dynamic breeders who have influenced the advancement of the Hereford breed.

Jim Courtney

In 1916, Jim’s father homesteaded the land in southeastern Montana that is now Courtney Herefords. Eventually, his father purchased adjoining land in 1929 right before the Great Depression. Despite the hard times, Jim’s parents raised sheep and kept the ranch together through the 1930s. Jim graduated from Carter County High School, where he met his future wife, Hazel. He was the 1950 Carter County class salutatorian, but did not go to college. Instead, he returned home to help his parents run the ranch. He continued to build his knowledge and gain insight to the livestock industry by attending many Extension classes related to sheep and cattle breeding. However, Jim credits most of his knowledge to direct experience on the ranch. When Jim and Hazel married in 1953, there was not a cow or bull on the place — just 1,000-1,500 head of sheep. In 1957, Jim’s friendship with neighbor, Walt Crago, led to the beginning of Courtney Herefords. Walt raised registered Herefords and offered to lease 40 heifers to Jim. All were half-sisters making a solid

The Courtney brand is recognized for powerful, traditional Hereford cattle — multi-trait Herefords that accentuate the breed’s long-proven strengths for soundness, fleshing ability, fertility and longevity. Loaded with quality, they are backed by the impressive Britisher, Ardmore and Standard Lad sires in North America. Courtney has a complete and thorough knowledge of Canadian Hereford genetics. He knows the cow herds across Alberta as well as any in North America, evaluating them through the eyes of an American cowman, which benefits his program and customers. Jim became the AHA president in 1999 at a time when the Hereford breed needed him most. Jim is a fighter for his industry. Serving several turns as an officer of the Montana Stockgrowers Association and on the board of directors of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Jim is known as a man of integrity who will fight for the betterment of the industry. His no-nonsense style and straight-to-the-point attitude is, and has always been, about taking the side of the cattlemen. Deep down, Jim always knows that you have to fight to sustain an economic and political environment for ranchers. His family has depended on it. As it relates to the Hereford breed, Jim helped drive the AHA to focus on the needs of the commercial cow-calf industry.

genetic foundation for the start of the future Courtney herd. Jim leased the Hereford females for three years, retained the heifer calves and sent the bull calves to Walt. The semi-arid, Badlands grassland and limited water resources where the Courtneys reside was considered traditional sheep country since the early days of open range and early settlement. Yet, through diligent stewardship of land and water, Jim established a registered Hereford cow herd and built one of the breed’s most respected seedstock programs in this challenging environment. In both the cattle and sheep industries, the Courtney brand is recognized for outstanding quality and functional, efficient stock that fit their climate — the result of a good stockman’s eye and a continued quest to improve performance with each generation. With more than 50 years dedicated to its breeding program, Courtney Herefords became one of the most unique gene pools in the American Hereford breed. Founded upon the Real Prince Domino bloodlines from Canada’s premier herds, Jim built his program on structured line-breeding and outcrossing based on time-proven genetics. Courtney’s range country environment and the needs of their bull customers strictly dictate the direction of their breeding plan.

Lawrence Duncan

Born in 1935, Lawrence Duncan was raised on the family farm in Montgomery County, Indiana, where his parents raised registered Duroc hogs and draft horses. At the age of 10, Lawrence began showing Hereford heifers and steers in 4-H at the county and state fairs. After graduating from high school in 1954, he attended Purdue University, majoring in animal husbandry. He married his wife, Petzi, and they honeymooned at the Fort Worth Stock Show. Following graduation from Purdue, the newlyweds moved into his parents’ house and began farming. In order to buy a place for him and his new bride, Lawrence held his first Hereford sale in 1958. The high-seller went for $1,200. From the beginning, he found the most difficult part of hosting sales came down to organization, particularly organizing help and all of the cattle. Lawrence learned it was necessary to improve the cattle handling equipment and facilities to make it all work. Even after 48 sales, Lawrence was still learning and improving. Lawrence’s dad, Harvey, always said, “If you’re able to farm, you should pursue it.” While waiting in line for stalls, it occurred to Harvey that nearly everything was done alphabetically. If their name started with an ‘A,’ it would be listed first. The name Able Acres fit both criteria, so their prefix was ‘AA’ from then on. Today, Able Acres consists of 140-150 cows, along with 2,200 acres of row crops and hay. As the farm expanded, so did the

Duncan family. Through the years, Lawrence and Petzi welcomed five children: four sons, Lary, Gary, David and Andy; and one daughter, Caril. All five children own Hereford cattle and take pride in their involvement in the industry. There are eight grandchildren who also have connections to Lawrence’s legacy of owning and raising Hereford cattle. Lawrence credited his longevity in the Hereford industry to two things: quality genetics and quality relationships. The Duncans have continually adopted new technologies through the years, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET). Lawrence was an innovator in the Hereford breed. His peers, Ray Ramsey, Bruce Everhart and Rick Davis, credit his efforts to getting more youth involved and educated in the cattle industry. By providing opportunities to work alongside him and get involved in their program, anyone willing to listen was welcomed by Lawrence. He is remembered for doing it the right way, treating people the right way and setting the standard for others to follow. Able Acres utilizes all the tools available to provide reliable, honest and quality genetics that have been sold to buyers throughout the United States. Lawrence and his family were early adopters of collecting performance data and have been dedicated supporters of the AHA’s Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR®) program. In addition, Able Acres has been performance testing bulls through the Indiana Bull Evaluation Program

(IBEP) for many years. The IBEP has provided valuable data and has helped the Duncan family continually improve their operation through the years. Lawrence passed in April 2020 and is being inducted posthumously into the Hall of Fame. Lawrence was a dedicated grain and livestock farmer whose passion was breeding Hereford cattle. His farm, Able Acres, received six Golden Bull Awards from the AHA. Lawrence was selected by his peers to receive the Robert C. Peterson Lynnwood Farm Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. In 2019, Lawrence was inducted into the Indiana Livestock Breeders Hall of Fame and is now a 2021 inductee to the AHA Hall of Fame.

Bob Harrell Jr.

In 1870, Bob Harrell Jr.’s ancestors traveled in a covered wagon across the historic Oregon Trail to Baker City, Ore. His parents, Bob and Edna Harrell, established Harrell Hereford Ranch along the foothills of Baker Valley, in the high-country of Eastern Oregon, three generations later. Today, Harrell Hereford Ranch is a family-run operation, managed by the fifth and sixth generation of Harrells, consisting of Bob Jr.; his wife, Becky; and daughter, Lexie. Bob was raised in Baker City and graduated from Baker High School. After graduation, he attended Oregon State University for two years, and then transferred to Kansas State University (K-State). At K-State, Bob competed on the livestock judging team and earned his bachelor’s degree in animal science. The cattle ranch originated in 1970 with 80 acres and 100 head of Hereford cows purchased from Harold Thompson’s TT Herefords in Connell, Wash. Under Bob’s management, the ranch has grown to six ranches and currently consists of 400 registered Hereford cows, 400 black baldy commercial cows, a 1,000-head backgrounding feedlot and 25 Quarter Horse broodmares. The cattle run on 8,000 acres of high-desert, native range. With the help of six employees, the

Rolling grasslands punctuated with sagebrush and the Uinta Mountains serve as the backdrop to Micheli Hereford Ranch in southwestern Wyoming. In 1917, Joseph Micheli bought the family’s first Hereford cattle. Dale Micheli learned to love the Hereford breed from his grandfather, Joseph. As a little boy, Dale accompanied his grandfather each day and watched as Joseph painstakingly fed each bull a “little handful” of grain. Dale never forgot the effort and care his grandfather gave to his treasured bulls. For many years, the Micheli Family hauled their prized bulls to consignment sales. When Dale came home from college, he was determined to increase herd numbers and dramatically upgrade the genetics of the registered Herefords. He wanted to honor his grandfather by making the purebred cattle a major business on the ranch. Dale began to study pedigrees and work on adding dynamic females to the herd. He invested in prominent sires and implemented AI and then added an ET program. In 1989, the ranch held its first production sale. Thirty years later, Dale and his brother, Ron, and their sons, Kyle and Tony, who are the fifth generation, have been successfully selling up to 50 Hereford bulls each year. Dale graduated with honors from the University of Wyoming, where he

was successful in both livestock and meat judging. He has continued to judge livestock throughout the years and has had the privilege of judging national Hereford shows at Fort Worth, Reno, The Cow Palace, San Antonio and the National Western Stock Show. For more than 25 years, Dale coached 4-H and FFA livestock and meat judging teams. His state champion teams consistently placed in the top tier nationally. Whether it is coaching state champion teams or helping a kid with a heifer project, Dale always focuses his efforts on the next generation of farmers and ranchers. Beyond working with youth, Dale put in countless hours supporting the Hereford industry in Wyoming. Dale has always been engaged in promoting the Hereford breed and working with other breeders to promote the beef industry. He has been instrumental in hosting Hereford Field Days at his ranch, building the Hereford show at the Wyoming State Fair and finding ways to be active in all aspects of the Wyoming Hereford Association. A major highlight in Dale’s life was serving on the AHA Board of Directors. It was an honor and privilege to visit ranches across the country and see the diversity and ingenuity of many great Hereford breeders. For three years, he served as chairman of Certified Hereford Beef®, giving his leadership to impact the future. Dale is a deeply religious man and volunteers and serves extensively in his church. The most important thing in Dale’s life is his family. Dale and his wife, Terry, are the proud parents of six children — Mandy, Kyle, Audrey, Nikki, Amber and Cami — and the grandparents of 13 grandchildren. Dale is rarely without the company of his grandkids in the tractor, where they sing songs and make frequent stops for treats.

Hall of Merit

Jim Birdwell, Fletcher, Okla., and John Meents, Jenera, Ohio, were honored by the AHA as the newest members of the Hereford Hall of Merit. This prestigious award commends those who have played an avid role in shaping the Hereford breed and cattle industry.

Jim Birdwell

The Birdwell legacy started with a land drawing and a five-year commitment. The family made their home in Fletcher, Okla., by drawing a quarter section from a lottery for the land available for settlement. Thanks to the Homestead Act of 1862, the Birdwells just needed to live and work the land for five years before it became theirs. Jim continues to live and farm on the property originally gained by his great-grandfather. He still has the original deed, signed by President Theodore Roosevelt. Jim attended Oklahoma State University (OSU) to study agricultural education. After graduation, he headed to Union City, Okla., to teach high school agriculture courses. Jim had a quickkindled friendship with the owner of the local service station, as well as with those who frequented the gathering place for coffee and conversation. Jim would go to the station after school, and all the farmers would be there. Not only did Jim befriend

the owner of the station, but he also taught his son in school. Little did he know, he would soon be introduced to someone new: his future wife, the station owner’s daughter Jeanne. Jim and Jeanne married, and in 1972, they made the move from Union City to Fletcher to buy the land across from the family’s homestead. The couple has been there since. Jim taught high school students for five years, but the Lord had other plans for his future. Ed Meacham was the head of the Western field staff of the American Polled Hereford Association (APHA). He called Jim about an opening on the field staff, which Jim accepted. Jim had to sell $20,000 worth of advertising. The drawback was you could buy a page of advertising for about $300 at that time. Jim served APHA members in Oklahoma and Kansas from 1972 to 1975 before he found his true calling. Jim travelled with Eddie Sims, auctioneer and owner of National Cattle Services, Inc. Eddie gave Jim a new appreciation for the auction business. Fortunately for Jim, Eddie’s business expanded at an opportune time, and he was able to begin work with National Cattle Services, Inc., in 1975. Jim didn’t attend an official auctioneering school, but he learned the business and listened to several different auctioneers. He would

practice while traveling up and down the road and developed a chant that didn’t run people out of the barn. Just three years after joining National Cattle Services, Jim decided to use his cattle marketing skills to launch his own auction business in the summer of ’78. Between Jim’s contacts in the registered cattle business and advertising efforts, he was able to auction at a variety of sales until his retirement in the fall of 2020. His many years of service to the livestock industry across the United States and Canada will not be soon forgotten. The cattle business has always been a stronghold for the Birdwell family. Joel and Jamie, the two Birdwell children, both attended OSU, just like Jim and Jeanne, and stayed connected to the cattle business upon graduation. The Birdwell children also maintain a close connection with the Hereford breed. With the five Birdwell grandchildren growing up around the business, the legacy of the family lives on.

John Meents

Col. Kevin Wendt, Ohio auctioneer and longtime friend, worked many auctions with John Meents over the years. Kevin learned from John to be honest and tell the truth; have faith that things will work out, but always be honest. After turning his tassel at Purdue University, John landed his first livestock marketing job as a fieldman

for the American Yorkshire Club (AYC) in 1978. The first sale he worked was the record-shattering McGraw Yorkshire production sale that sold more than 760 head for $283,195 — a record that still stands as the most breeding hogs sold in a single production sale. Before the sale, John received the best advice a young ringman can receive from legendary swine auctioneers, Col. Mark Pickel and Col. Dan Baker — remember who bid and what they bid. Armed with these words of wisdom, John traveled 98,000 miles in his 11 months of AYC employment. Then he was tapped by another livestock legend, Neil Orth, to join the Drovers Journal fieldstaff. At the time John joined, the publication was hoping to create a swine-specific sister publication. John dove in, driving many miles, visiting with producers about their stock for sale and learning about effective ways to use print advertisements. John cut his teeth in the industry with livestock merchandising legends such as Wade Houser, Jay George, Jay Carlson, Lyle Eiten and Ken Torr. Although John’s role at Drovers changed to be cattlecentric rather than swine-focused, his dedication to helping producers find ways to sell stock never wavered. For 12 years, John did just that until the Drovers fieldstaff dissolved in 1991.

After Drovers, John worked briefly for the APHA before the many nights away from his young family called him home to Ohio, where he joined a local country store called, Hochstettlers. At Hochstettlers, he peddled pet feed, and at home, he and his wife Peg raised their children, Jay, MaeLyda and Emily. The livestock industry didn’t forget John’s marketing talents, though. Previous AHA executive vice president Craig Huffhines called to see if he would work the ring at one sale. But, that one sale turned into another, then another, then another before John was offered a role as the AHA Upper Midwest Region field representative. On Aug. 1, 2000, he officially started with the Association. Every state newsletter column John penned ends with the sentence, “Make your cattle better today because you have to market them tomorrow,” a sentiment John believed throughout his entire livestock marketing career. Whether a breeder registered two calves a year or 200 with the Association, John made himself available as a resource, sounding board and friend to AHA members. He worked hard to sell their animals both in the sale ring and privately, offered industry insights for advertising and breeding decisions and cheered on multiple generations of Hereford showmen and women. Today, John’s home is in Jenera, Ohio. He and Peg live across the road from her parents, and the couple run a few crossbred cows and bale hay. Looking back over his years as a field representative, often putting 50,000 to 60,000 miles on his car each year, he hopes to be remembered for one thing: fairness. No matter the number of animals registered, John wanted to treat everyone equally. The qualities John embodied as a member of the fieldstaff, are those worthy of his induction into the AHA Hall of Merit.

of the Hereford breed through multiple generations, while remaining committed to making better cattle.”

Century Breeders

Noack Herefords, Rockdale, Texas

Noack Herefords was established in 1921 by E.H. Noack, who registered the 7- brand. When E.H.’s only son, Leon, returned home from Texas A&M, his graduation was rewarded when he was named the cow herd manager. After E.H.’s untimely death a few years later, Leon assumed full responsibility for the ranch and made it into the operation it is today. Leon spent countless hours studying pedigrees and collecting performance data. Noack Herefords was an early adopter of the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPRTM) system.

The operation focused on creating the ideal mama cow, improving birth weights, milking ability and longevity. Leon spent time working as a meat grader, which taught him the value of consistently producing delicious, tender meat. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2000 and lost the battle in 2015. Today, the family ranch consists of three separate cow herds that cooperate on genetics and marketing. Noack bulls are guaranteed to work for four years. Noack Herefords firmly believes form follows function, and the most functional cows are also the most profitable. They have been tremendously blessed and hope to operate another 100 years.

Smathers Hereford Ranch, Llano, Texas

The Smathers Hereford Ranch was established in 1886 by James Jefferson Smathers in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in Llano County, Texas. James purchased about 500 acres shortly after he married Harriet Spinks, and he purchased his first Hereford cattle shortly after. Over the past 135 years, the ranch has passed from father to son for five generations.

2021 ANNUAL MEETING AND CONVENTION COVERAGE

The Smathers Hereford Ranch has evolved from 500 acres of raw pastureland to highly managed, improved grasses, cultivated fields and rotational cell-grazing, which maximizes herd production and capacity. Initially, Smathers Hereford Ranch was a commercial herd marketed through on-farm production sales. However, as times changed and fifth-generation heir, Slade Smathers, showed interest in raising, exhibiting and marketing his own show cattle, production progressed into an AI/ embryo system targeted for registered Hereford cattle and show calf sales. Today, the Smathers Hereford Ranch continues to grow and evolve under Rick’s strong belief and commitment to leave things in good working order for future generations.

and utilize AI and embryo transfer to leverage those genetics. Through their partnership with Delaney Herefords, cattle are marketed in two annual production sales — a bull and female sale in late January and an online female and embryo event in October. With the Delaneys, the Atkins have been blessed to show cattle successfully at the National Western Stock Show, in Denver, Colo., and the Cattlemen’s Congress, in Oklahoma City, including a national champion pen of heifers and carload of bulls. Pete and Laura have three sons: Scott and his wife, Sarah, and their children: Isla, George and Elouise; Paul and his wife, Sarah, and their son, Theodore; and Craig.

full-time, and Craig’s daughter, Bridget, is closely involved as well. Today, B&D runs approximately 800 cows spread across central Kansas. The ranch utilizes an extensive amount of AI and is committed to DNA testing the entire cow herd and each bull marketed in the sales to ensure the most accurate information is available.

Blume Herefords, Frankfort, S.D.

Gordon Blume and his brother, Gary, purchased their first registered heifer in 1964 from Gilbert Frankenstein, and that was the beginning of Blume Polled Hereford Farm. It continued to grow and expand until 1975 when Gordon and Gary dissolved the partnership. Gordon and his wife, Thordys, continued under the BPHF prefix until horned genetics were added. That is when they changed the operation name to Blume Herefords. In the mid-1970s, AI was implemented to better the herd. Embryo transplant was added in the late 1980s, and they continue to use both. Today, Blume Herefords consist of three generations. Gordon and Thordys, along with their son, Michael, and his wife, Becky, and grandchildren, Jayna and Rett. Gordon and Thordys continue with the calving and feeding of the herd, but they most enjoy watching their grandchildren compete in the show ring.

Carl E. Yoder and his family established Circle Y Farm in the fall of 1969. They purchased their first polled Hereford cow at the Walnut Hills Farm Dispersal in 1970. They focus on selling seedstock and freezer beef with freezer beef clients in five different states. They are particularly proud that Alizabeth Kurtz has started showing in junior shows, becoming the fourth generation to carry on the tradition.

Neilyne Genetics, Pine Island, Minn.

Dave Neil was 10 years old when his first polled Hereford heifer, Princess, was born on the family farm in Northfield, Minn. Princess became a 4-H beef project, which Dave showed as a fall calf in 1968 and a senior yearling in 1969. After, Dave was officially hooked on Herefords. Ultimately, Dave and his family established Neilyne Genetics. As a young Hereford breeder, Dave set two goals for himself: show in the National Western Stock Show and earn a championship banner at that same show. In 2012, Dave achieved the goal he had set 30 years earlier. The Neils look forward to continuing their Hereford business

2021 ANNUAL MEETING AND CONVENTION COVERAGE

Worrell and Mouser top the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout N

ow in its fifth year, the National Junior Hereford Association’s (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout contest teaches juniors about the opportunities and challenges of the cattle feeding industry. In the 2021 contest, 41 members from 15 states entered 133 steers. Powered by BioZyme Inc., this year’s winners received nearly $20,000 in scholarships and awards from the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and BioZyme. They were recognized for their efforts Oct. 22 at the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting and Conference in Kansas City, Mo. “Besides the opportunity to collect individual carcass data on cattle, this program provides young people firsthand experience in the cattle feeding industry,” says Trey Befort, AHA director of commercial programs. Contestants received actual feedyard performance and carcass merit data on the pen of three and individual entries of Hereford and commercial Hereford-influenced steers while gaining knowledge on topics such as ultrasound technology, genetics and cattle health. Additionally, contestants entered performance portfolios from data reports they received throughout the feeding period and wrote an essay about what they learned from the process. The top three contestants, in both the junior and senior divisions, were selected from the submitted portfolios and had the opportunity to compete for the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout junior and senior of the year. At the AHA Annual Membership Meeting and Conference, these young people presented a short speech followed by a panel interview about what they learned during the contest and how they can apply this knowledge in the beef industry. Jarrett Worrell of Mason, Texas was the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout Junior Contestant of the Year,

Certified Hereford Beef Honors Brand Partners C

ertified Hereford Beef® (CHB) awarded Peppers Supermarket, Performance Foodservice, Nashville, and National Beef® Packing with CHB honors Oct. 23 at the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting and Conference in Kansas City, Mo. “Each year we honor industry partners who have shown dedication and a passion for the Certified Hereford Beef brand,” Amari Seiferman, Certified Hereford Beef president and CEO, says. “We are grateful for their commitment to making a difference in their market area by providing a high-quality product and positively impacting consumers and the Hereford producers within their communities.”

Retailer of the Year

Peppers Supermarket

Peppers Supermarket was named the 2021 Retailer of the Year. Peppers Supermarket is a retail grocery store in the heart of Deming, N.M. In 2009 Pepper’s Supermarket joined the Certified Hereford Beef program to elevate its meat department in response to Walmart, its main competitor, expanding into the farm-to-table beef market. “We needed to partner with a premium beef program to diversify ourselves,” Mark Schultze, Pepper’s Supermarket owner and general manager, says. The exceptional quality of CHB piqued their interest, but the marketing materials and brand support ultimately won them over to the program. “We stopped by the Certified Hereford Beef booth at one of the Affiliated Foods food shows, and

Hereford.org

we loved the logo and marketing assets of the brand,” Schultze says. “It’s one of the main reasons we chose to go with the brand.” Since partnering with the brand, Peppers has avidly promoted Certified Hereford Beef through product promotion, cookout events and commercials. They continue to be satisfied customers after more than 12 years of partnership. “The brand truly separates us from our competitors,” Schultze says. “We pride ourselves on creating value for our customers, and Certified Hereford Beef perfectly helps us reach that goal.” Peppers looks forward to the future with the Certified Hereford Beef program. “Receiving this award is a wonderful honor,” Schultze says. “We greatly enjoy our relationship with Certified Hereford Beef and are blessed through our partnership.”

Distributor of the Year

Performance Foodservice

Performance Foodservice, Nashville, was named the 2021 Foodservice Distributor of the Year, servicing Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Mississippi. Since partnering with the brand in 2019, Performance Foodservice, Nashville, has seen abundant success with Certified Hereford Beef. “By carrying CHB, we can sell a breed-specific program that gives us an opportunity for business with accounts to offer a differentiated and competitive product line,” Danny Wright, Performance Foodservice, Nashville,

director of procurement, says. “We are glad to offer a CHB Choice and Upper 2/3 Choice program to our customers. The product truly sells itself with its quality, consistency and service.” As one of the largest foodservice distributors in the nation, Performance Foodservice is committed to providing customers with personalized customer service and on-time deliveries. “We are honored to be part of a successful program, and in support of the Performance Foodservice, Nashville group, we want to thank Certified Hereford Beef for this award and thank everyone that supported us in the growth we have had,” Wright says.

Packer of the Year

National Beef Packing

National Beef Packing was named the 2021 Packer of the Year for its continued commitment to growing and developing the Certified Hereford Beef brand and program. Since its establishment in 1992, National Beef has delivered high-quality fresh beef, case-ready products and beef byproducts to customers nationally and internationally. National Beef has remained a proud partner of Certified Hereford Beef since 2003. “We have been a long-time partner of the Certified Hereford Beef brand, and from the beginning, we have treated the brand as one of our own,” Wes Steimel, National Beef Packing business manager, says. “Our values align very well with the mission of Certified Hereford Beef, and we feel that having the brand as part of our offering is a huge asset.” National Beef’s commitment to the CHB program strengthened through the launch of the CHB Premium Program in January 2017, which provides a USDA Top Choice and Prime program to the industry. National Beef provides the Certified Hereford Beef brand new opportunities for growth through national marketing efforts, new product launches and outstanding customer support.

2021-2022 National Hereford Queen: A Family Tradition L

Lauren Gatz is a legacy National Hereford Queen proud to continue the Hereford tradition.

auren Gatz was filled with a nearly overwhelming sense of gratitude as she was crowned the 2021-2022 National Hereford Queen. The Fairview, Kan., native recalls looking around the crowd at the American Royal in Kansas City, Mo., after the coronation and seeing a sea of familiar faces from her home state offering their congratulations and support. “Being the National Hereford Queen means getting to give back to an organization that has shaped me into the woman I am today,” Lauren says. “The Hereford Queen Program has built a tremendous legacy and a strong reputation that I am honored to uphold. Being a legacy queen and getting to share this historic title with my mom (the 1992 National Polled Hereford Queen) makes it all the more special. I am so excited to start my journey as the National Hereford Queen in Louisville in just a few weeks.” Age: 18 Parents: Taylor and Jennifer Gatz Siblings: Jordan Gatz, Kansas State University (K-State) sophomore, and McKenna Gatz, Sabetha High School freshman College and degree program: K-State, agricultural communications and journalism Extracurricular activities and hobbies: K-State Block and Bridle, Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow and the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority.

National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) membership: 11 years Family history in the Hereford business: Lauren’s parents grew up raising and showing cattle, and they wanted to provide their family with the same experiences. Her family first became involved with the breed when her mom and uncle started showing and raising Herefords as part of the junior program in the ’80s. Since then, Lauren and her siblings have continued the family’s Hereford legacy. “I hope to continue the tradition of raising Hereford cattle with my own family one day,” she says.

also serves as a communications assistant for the K-State Department of Animal Sciences and Industry and remains an active member of 4-H. She enjoys spending time with friends and family, showing livestock, sewing, baking and watching home improvement shows.

Titles prior to National Hereford Queen: Kansas Hereford Princess (2019-2020) and Kansas Hereford Queen (2020-2021) When did your sights become set on the crown? “I set my sights on the crown at a young age,” Lauren says. “My mom was the 1992 National Polled Hereford Queen, and I can recall wearing my mom’s crown around my grandma’s house when I was little.” Who inspired you to run for National Hereford Queen? Lauren was inspired seeing photos of her mom wearing white while serving as the National Polled Hereford Queen, but she was also inspired by several past Hereford Queens. During her first Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in 2011, Lauren was paired with future National Hereford Queen Amanda Bacon in the

Hereford.org

mentorship program. “I remember how big of an impact Amanda had on me as a shy, 7-year-old,” Lauren says. “She took me under her wing, encouraged me to go out and make new friends, and always made me feel included even beyond being her mentee. After that experience, I realized the queen program was so much more than a title and knew I wanted to make that same impact on other junior Hereford members.” What advice do you have for future princesses running for the National Hereford Queen title? Lauren says, just be yourself. Even if the process seems long or overwhelming, be confident in your own abilities. “Just enjoy the experience and lean on the people that are there to support you. Take it all in, and don’t forget to have fun,” she reminds. What are your goals as the new National Hereford Queen? “My goal as the National Hereford Queen is to continue upholding the strong legacy of the queens before me,” Lauren says. She hopes to serve as a positive role model, educator and advocate for the breed, while promoting Hereford genetics to purebred and commercial producers alike. “The family and the reputation that comes with the Hereford breed and the National Hereford Queen program are second to none,” Lauren says. “I look forward to meeting new people and promoting the Hereford breed as I travel to shows and sales across the country.”

Queen created study guides and poured over past issues of the Hereford World magazine to bolster her breed and industry knowledge. She met the other state queen candidates during JNHE and enjoyed assisting in the ring and visiting with young girls during the annual Queen’s Tea. After JNHE, with a full understanding of the queen candidate

guidelines and requirements, Lauren called upon several industry mentors to help her prepare for the National Hereford Queen contest at the American Royal. “Throughout the process, I tried my best to stay true to who I am and represent myself to the best of my ability. I enjoyed getting to know the other girls and spending time doing some fun things like a gift exchange at the Hereford House in Kansas City,” she says. While the moment she was crowned the 2021-2022 National Hereford Queen still seems surreal, the experience has already left a lasting impact. “Running for the National Hereford Queen was a great experience. It has strengthened my confidence and helped me grow in my knowledge of the breed. I’ve also learned a lot about myself and grown in my communication skills,” Lauren says. “Most importantly, I’ve met many new friends that I hope to remain in contact with and look forward to seeing at Hereford events in the future.”

What makes the Hereford breed special to you? The people make the Hereford breed special to Lauren. “I have made the best friends and have become a member of the best Hereford family because of my involvement in the breed,” she says. “I have grown up in this breed and developed so much love for these redand-white-faced cattle over the years. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.” Describe your experience running for National Hereford Queen: After being crowned Kansas Hereford Queen during the Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City, rather than the Kansas Hereford’s annual meeting due to COVID-19, Lauren began to work.

Royal Reflections

Kaylee McInvale, the 2020-2021 National Hereford Queen pens a letter to AHA members, reflecting on lessons learned while wearing her crown.

owdy, Hereford family and members, It has been a crazy year for all of us. I’m amazed my year as the 2020-2021 National Queen has come to an end. Going into Kansas City, Mo., I started looking back at all the experiences and memories I have gained. It truly has been an experience. No one can prepare you for all that you have to go through. They can tell you what to expect, but until you experience it, then you don’t know. Being the National Hereford Queen has been an enlightening opportunity. I have been able to experience wonderful things and have learned to work even with COVID-19 affecting the year. This past year has not been the best for all of us, but I like to see the positive in things. I have seen the agricultural industry come together to host huge events or make shows happen in a matter of weeks or even days. This kept me looking forward and growing as a person. As I continue college, seeing what these leaders have done inspires me to do more each day. I can also say some bad happened this past year. Missing Reno, Denver and Fort Worth was a sad start to my reign, but Cattlemen’s Congress and the Hereford Heritage Showcase in Abilene, Texas, helped push me forward. I am truly grateful for

everything that has happened to and for me this past year, and I’m thankful for all the driving forces behind it to help push me. The 2019-2020 National Queen, Melanie Fishel, pushed me when she said, “You now have a microphone. How are you going to use it?” Her statement made me strive to put my best foot forward each day and serve as an advocate for the Hereford breed and what I believe in. As my reign ends, I reflect on what I have done and what I have learned. I gained some valuable insights into my

life. I learned things about myself. I have grown as an individual. I earned a new, silent confidence I never knew I needed. I have been pushed out of comfort zones I didn’t know I had. For this, I am thankful. I have been blessed with great experiences. I am grateful to all of those who helped along the way! I am looking forward to my next adventure and taking my next step in life. Kaylee McInvale 2020-2021 National Hereford Queen

Holan Honored as Hereford Woman of the Year T

he National Hereford Women (NHW) named Barbara Metch Holan, Canton, Texas, the 2021 Outstanding National Hereford Woman of the Year. Each year the NHW recognizes and honors one woman for her achievements, leadership and dedication to the Hereford breed and its promotion. Barbara was awarded the title at the NHW annual meeting on Oct. 23, 2021, in Kansas City, Mo. Known as the “go-to girl” for many years, Barbara was recognized for her dedication to the Hereford breed, which began in her youth. As a teenager, Barbara founded the New Jersey Junior Polled Hereford Association, and her devotion only grew from there. For the past 48 years she has been actively involved in her family’s Hereford operation — Metch Polled Herefords. Barbara became the manager in 2017. Today, Metch Polled Herefords is a 165-head purebred cow-calf operation providing purebred and commercial cattle producers with genetics that will work in a variety of environments. In addition to having served as a committee member, board member, and president for the NHW, she also has been an active member of the Texas Polled Hereford Association (TPHA), Texas Poll-Ettes and the National Organization of Poll-Ettes. Time and time again, Barbara has encouraged Hereford youth and emphasized the importance of educational support through scholarship funds. In fact, over the years she spearheaded three

scholarships for members of the Texas Junior Polled Hereford Association, which she funded herself through collecting donations and hosting livestock shows with all proceeds being given toward scholarships. However, her unwavering support does not end there. Barbara’s commitment to the TPHA royalty program is also unmatched. Because of her efforts, the TPHA has successfully placed young girls into the royalty ambassador position as sweethearts (10 years old); ultimately, some become the state queen when they are 18. These young ladies are able to step into leadership roles and have impactful experiences due to Barbara’s work. With a welcoming presence, Barbara recognizes the importance of strong membership and frequently recruits new members to the TPHA and Texas Poll-Ettes each year. She

Barbara’s work with the TPHA royalty program is instrumental in helping youth into leadership roles.

Barbara is pictued here with the 2020-2021 National Hereford Queen Kaylee McInvale.

knows an organization is only as good as its members and strives to build associations that serve members and ensure future success. Barbara was instrumental in creating the Texas Heritage Showcase, which was recognized in 2020 as a national show platform. In 2017, the Fort Worth National Polled Hereford Show was named in her honor. At the local level, Barbara is the president of her church council, a longtime 4-H leader and a livestock committee member for the county. For more than 20 years Barbara has served as a Farm Bureau insurance agent. Gary Holan, Barbara’s husband of 16 years, shares her love for church, travel and Hereford cattle. Barbara has been described by her peers as an indispensable and devoted individual who brings joy and great ideas with her wherever she goes. She is incredibly deserving of this award due to her loyalty and dedication within the area, state and national Hereford breed organizations. Her enthusiasm and drive for those within the industry make her a perfect recipient for the Outstanding Woman of the Year award. Without a doubt, Barbara will continue to do great things representing the NHW and the Hereford breed. Congratulations, Barbara, on a well-deserved honor.

In that time, the Gohrs exhibited multiple national champions and bred a national show heifer of the year sired by one of their bulls. Their children, Fallon and Gunnar, have been top 10 in showmanship at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) many times. As juniors, Brad and Dawn also competed nationally. Brad won showmanship at the Simmental junior nationals, and Dawn was third at the Angus junior nationals. The Gohrs' roots run deep in purebred cattle.

MORE POUNDS. MORE CALVES. MORE PROFIT. Hereford bulls increase net profit by $51 per cow per year. That’s $20,000 in additional revenue for a typical 400-cow outfit, thanks to increased fertility and herd size. Herefords are also the efficiency experts, proven to add value to calves in the feedyard — $30 per head in profitability. That’s real money and real results. results .

• Freedom has been a stand-out since birth. We have never raised a bull that is this diversified. Because of his diversity, we feel he can be used across cows of all shapes and sizes and take each calf crop to the next level. • Cosmetically he is perfect.

He possesses a lot of thickness and top along with a balanced set of numbers. • 1077 is a Perfecto 84F out of a Munson 2-year old daughter. He brings a wild set of numbers with a huge spread from BW to YW. He is dark cherry red, short marked and Homozygous Polled. • Breeding cattle is a slow and methodical process that takes years to get all the pieces put together.

Winter Drought Management Strategies Consider alternative sources and methods to reduce cost. by Lee-Ann Walter, Ph.D.

rought in the Northern Plains, the Midwest and the western regions of the United States and Canada presents significant management hurdles to cow-calf producers in those areas this winter. Keep in mind beef cow herd profitability depends on reproductive success, calf weaning weights and associated expenses. Of those expenses, feed cost represents the largest portion of annual cow costs. For perspective, based on its annual survey of cow-calf producers, CattleFax estimated average annual cow costs in 2019 at $601 per cow. Average annual cow costs were $670 per cow in the Northern Plains and $630 in the Corn Belt, compared to approximately $565 in the Southeast. Nutritional management of the herd during the winter is important for spring calving and rebreeding success as well as for controlling feed costs and allocating limited feed resources. Managing winter

feed stocks and feeding regimes is critical in times of drought.

Focus on energy first

When considering feed, remember cows’ single largest nutrient demand is energy followed by protein. Cow body condition score (BCS) is an indirect assessment of energy reserves with cow energy reserves at calving serving as the most important factor influencing pregnancy rate. Cows should have a BCS of 5 to 7 at calving to ensure reproductive success. Optimum body condition also provides a hedge against future drought-stricken range conditions and winter weather. Typically, cow energy demands are met primarily through forage with additional supplementation of protein, vitamins and minerals. Byproduct feeds include, but are not limited to, cottonseed hulls, cottonseed meal, corn distillers grains, corn gluten feed, soybean hulls, sugar beet pulp, soybean meal and wheat middlings. Byproduct

feeds such as distillers grains and corn gluten meal can serve as sources of energy from fermentable fiber and fat components as well as sources of protein. With respect to protein supplementation, researchers observed improved cow body condition in cows supplemented with additional protein (31% crude protein) late in gestation, regardless of winter range or corn residue grazing. Conversely, cows grazing dormant range during late gestation without receiving supplemental protein produced heifer calves that tended to require more days to reach puberty and tended to have lower pregnancy rates. It is prudent to feed test range, harvested forages, grain, byproduct feeds and any additional feedstuffs. Work with a professional to ensure nutritional needs are met.

Consider the alternatives

Alternative feed sources and/or alternative feeding methods can provide opportunities during drought.

Alternative sources and methods include grazing crop residues, grazing swathed cereal crops and dry-lot confinement with limit-fed grain or byproduct feedbased rations. For instance, in a multiyear study, researchers in western Canada found that swath grazing barley — compared to dry-lot-feeding baled barley — reduced winter cow cost per day by 29% and 36%, in subsequent years. There was no impact on cow reproductive efficiency. Researchers in Nebraska also found little impact on reproductive performance when wintering cows on corn stalk residue with protein supplementation. If harvested forages or crop residues are unavailable, cows can be wintered in dry-lot confinement on rations with increased concentrate and reduced forage

feedstuffs. Replacing 20-60% (% DM) forage with concentrate by using processed feed grains and byproducts can be done; however, caution should be noted and professional insight from a nutritionist, feed industry personnel or veterinarian is warranted. Rumen bacteria rapidly ferment starch from feed grain into organic acids, which can quickly become problematic and even deadly in cattle not adapted to grain-based rations.

Producers must ensure that cattle are slowly adapted to grain by replacing forage with concentrate in small amounts (5-10% DM) at intervals no sooner than three days apart. At higher levels of concentrate feeding, producers may need to limit-feed cows to control weight gain and any possible health effects. Alternative feeds and feeding systems can offer cow-calf producers increased flexibility in navigating drought and extending forage supplies while serving to meet the energy and protein needs of the cow.

Investing in Parent Verification Parent verification uses DNA markers to exclude incorrect parent(s). by Leoma Wells

newborn bull calf awaits us on a chilly morning. What sire do we write down in the calving notebook? The answer is straightforward 90% of the time. However, experts estimate 10% of pedigrees are misreported. Imagine that same bull calf goes on to be featured as lot 1 and the buyer pays $25,000 for him. The buyer decides to collect the bull and submits a DNA sample. When the results come back, the bull does not qualify to the AI sire noted on his pedigree. Instead, DNA proves he was sired by the pasture bull. What is that phone call going to be like with the new owner?

Figure 1: The Evolution of Genetic Testing Technology

With parent verification included in every GGP100K profile, producers can easily locate these errors at an early age before the animal enters the herd or is sold. Being able to identify incorrect pedigrees via DNA testing becomes an insurance policy for your operation. A $42 test can provide you with the peace of mind and confidence to fully promote and endorse an

animal. That on its own may be worth its weight in gold, or at least the animal’s value.

Changing technology

As modern technology has evolved, the method used for parent verification has as well. As we moved from blood markers to microsatellites or short tandem repeats (STRs) and now to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), confidence in the technology has increased, while the cost has continued to decrease. Today, there are approximately 200 SNPs used to determine whether progeny excludes one or both parents. In contrast, only 8-14 STR markers or 5-10 blood markers were used for comparisons (see Figure 1). As different platforms become available, it is important to be aware that the different marker sets are not comparable to one another. For example, if you tested a sire with the American Hereford Association (AHA) in 2009, the bull would have STR parentage markers on file; whereas progeny tested in 2021 would have SNP parentage markers instead. Because of this difference in technology, the AHA would be unable to compare the SNPs to the sire’s STRs. To rectify this, either the sire would need to be genotyped using the GGP100K to receive SNP parentage markers, which would also add the bull’s genotype to the AHA evaluation, or the progeny would need to be sent through STR testing for the comparison to be made. Producers should feel very confident in the current GGP100K technology and its ability to accurately determine parentage.

The commercial cow-calf producer can benefit from implementing parent verification as well. If you are in the seedstock business selling bulls Parent verification can be used in multi-sire and/or breeding females, it is imperative to verify pasture situations to identify which bulls are the pedigree is accurate.

As with all parenteral products, careful aseptic techniques should be employed to decrease the possibility of post-injection bacterial infection. Severe localized clostridial infections associated with injection of Estrumate have been reported. In rare instances, such infections have resulted in death. Aggressive antibiotic therapy should be employed at the first sign of infection at the injection site, whether localized or diffuse. At 50 and 100 times the recommended dose, mild side effects may be detected in some cattle. These include increased uneasiness, slight frothing, and milk let-down.

For additional information about adverse drug experience reporting for animal drugs, contact FDA at 1-888-FDA-VETS, or http://www.fda.gov/reportanimalae. PHARMACOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGY: Endogenous gonadorelin is synthesized and/or released from the hypothalamus during various stages of the bovine estrous cycle following appropriate neurogenic stimuli. It passes via the hypophyseal portal vessels, to the anterior pituitary to effect the release of gonadotropins (e.g. LH, FSH). Synthetic gonadorelin administered intravenously or intramuscularly also causes the release of endogenous LH or FSH from the anterior pituitary. Gonadorelin acetate has been shown to be safe. The LD50 for mice and rats is greater than 60 mg/kg, and for dogs, greater than 600 mcg/kg, respectively. No adverse effects were noted among rats or dogs administered 120 mcg/kg/day or 72 mcg/kg/day intravenously for 15 days. It had no adverse effects on heart rate, blood pressure, or EKG to unanesthetized dogs at 60 mcg/kg. In anesthetized dogs it did not produce depression of myocardial or system hemodynamics or adversely affect coronary oxygen supply or myocardial oxygen requirements. The intravenous administration of 60 mcg/kg/day gonadorelin acetate to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis did not cause embryotoxic or teratogenic effects. Further, gonadorelin acetate did not cause irritation at the site of intramuscular administration in dogs with a dose of 72 mcg/kg/day administered for seven (7) days. TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY: In addition to the animal safety information presented in the PHARMACOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGY section, the safety of gonadorelin was established through the review and evaluation of the extensive published literature available for the use of gonadorelincontaining products. The intramuscular administration of 860 mcg gonadorelin (as gonadorelin acetate) on five (5) consecutive days to normally cycling dairy cattle had no effect on hematology or clinical chemistries. In field studies evaluating the effectiveness of gonadorelin for the treatment of ovarian follicular cysts, the incidence of health abnormalities was not significantly greater in cows administered gonadorelin than cows administered a placebo injection. The target animal safety of, and injection site reactions to, Fertagyl when used with Estrumate (cloprostenol injection) were evaluated during the conduct of effectiveness field studies in lactating dairy cows. The incidence of health abnormalities was not significantly greater in cows administered Fertagyl than cows administered a placebo injection. The target animal safety of, and injection site reactions to, gonadorelin when used with cloprostenol sodium were evaluated during the conduct of effectiveness field studies in beef cows. The incidence of health abnormalities was not significantly greater in cows administered gonadorelin than cows administered a placebo injection. EFFECTIVENESS: The use of gonadorelin for treatment of ovarian follicular cysts in dairy cattle was demonstrated to be effective with a treatment dose of 86 mcg gonadorelin (as gonadorelin acetate). The effectiveness of Fertagyl for use with Estrumate (cloprostenol injection) to synchronize estrous cycles to allow for FTAI in lactating dairy cows was demonstrated in a field study at six different locations in the U.S. A total of 758 healthy, non-pregnant, primiparous or multiparous lactating dairy cows within 50-120 days postpartum were enrolled in the study. A total of 377 cows were administered Fertagyl (2 mL; 86 mcg gonadorelin as the acetate salt) and 381 cows were administered an equivalent volume of saline as an intramuscular injection twice in the following regimen: Day 0: 2 mL Fertagyl or saline Day 7: 2 mL Estrumate (cloprostenol injection) Day 9: 2 mL Fertagyl or saline Fixed time Al was performed on Day 10, 16 ± 8 hours after the Day 9 injection. Cows were evaluated for pregnancy on Day 45 ± 5 days by trans-rectal ultrasound or rectal palpation. Pregnancy rate to FTAI was significantly higher (P=0.0051) in cows treated with Fertagyl (33.4%) than the pregnancy rate to FTAI to cows treated with saline (17.8%). The effectiveness of gonadorelin for use with cloprostenol sodium to synchronize estrous cycles to allow for FTAI in beef cows was demonstrated in a field study at 10 different locations in the U.S. A total of 706 healthy, non-pregnant, primiparous or multiparous beef cows within 40-150 days postpartum were enrolled in the study. A total of 364 cows were administered gonadorelin (1 mL; 100 mcg gonadorelin as the acetate salt) and 342 cows were administered an equivalent volume of water for injection as an intramuscular injection twice in the following regimen: Day 0: 100 mcg gonadorelin (as the acetate salt) or sterile water for injection Day 7: 500 mcg cloprostenol (as cloprostenol sodium) Day 9: 100 mcg gonadorelin (as the acetate salt) or sterile water for injection Fixed time AI was performed immediately after the Day 9 injection. Cows were evaluated for pregnancy on Day 55±5 days by trans-rectal ultrasound. Pregnancy rate to FTAI was significantly higher (P=0.0006) in cows treated with gonadorelin (21.7%) than the pregnancy rate to FTAI in cows treated with water (7.4%). The effectiveness of a 2-mL dose of gonadorelin delivering 86 mcg gonadorelin (as gonadorelin acetate) for use with cloprostenol sodium to synchronize estrous cycles to allow for FTAI in lactating dairy cows and beef cows was also demonstrated through references to scientific literature. HOW SUPPLIED: Fertagyl is available in a concentration of 43 mcg/mL gonadorelin (as gonadorelin acetate) pH adjusted with sodium phosphate (monobasic and dibasic). Fertagyl is supplied in multi-dose vials containing 20 mL and 100 mL of sterile solution. STORAGE, HANDLING, AND DISPOSAL: Keep refrigerated: 2°-8°C (36°-46°F). 20 mL vial: Use within 28 days of first puncture. 100 mL vial: Use within 28 days of first puncture and puncture a maximum of 10 times when using an 18 gauge needle.

Timing matters: It pays to get more cows bred in the first 21 days By Todd Bilby, PhD, Cattle Technical Services

Reproduction in beef cattle is 10 times more economically important than growth traits. It’s 20 times more important than carcass traits. An extra calf, or more calves per cow herd, is the single largest factor in increasing pounds of beef. Getting cows and heifers pregnant in a timely manner is critical to reaping economic advantages. For every 21 days cows are open, we lose somewhere between 20 and 60 pounds of weaning weight. There’s a lot of profit potential if we can have more calves in the first 21 days of calving season. A decade of records were analyzed to determine the effect of the calving period on heifer and steer progeny at Gudmundsen Sandhills Laboratory in Whitman, Nebraska.1 Progeny were classified as being born in the first, second or third 21-day period of the spring calving season. The research showed that heifer calves born during the first 21 days of the spring calving season had greater weaning, prebreeding and precalving body weight; greater percent cycling before breeding; and greater pregnancy rates. Similarly, steer calves born earlier in the calving season had greater weaning body weight, carcass weight and marbling scores. Synchronization benefits bull breeding programs Another study aimed to determine the effect of estrus synchronization on calving distribution and the impact of time of calving on carcass characteristics.2 The study compared calves from nonsynchronized 60-day breeding seasons with calves from estrous-synchronized 45-day breeding seasons. Estrus was synchronized using a single injection of prostaglandin administered 108 hours after mixed-age bulls were turned in with the cow herd. Data showed that more synchronized cows calved during the first 21 days, and calves born to synchronized dams were 20 pounds heavier at weaning. Calves born in the first 21 days of the calving season had greater carcass weights, marbling scores and yield grades than laterborn calves. In addition, the percentage of steers grading premium choice or greater, and the total carcass value declined as time of calving increased.

The data showed that one shot of prostaglandin at 4-5 days after turning out the bulls resulted in cows coming into estrus sooner, which in turn gave a better opportunity to get pregnant earlier, and therefore, more of these cows calved in the first 21 days of the calving season. Their calves were heavier at weaning and produced a heavier, more valuable carcass that was worth an additional $77 at the feedlot. If that protocol won’t fit your management system, one shot of prostaglandin at turnout will still induce more cows to show heat sooner. Estrumate® (cloprostenol injection) is a leading prostaglandin that is approved for estrus synchronization of cows and replacement heifers. Fixed-time AI solutions Fertagyl® (gonadorelin) and Estrumate help deliver optimal reproductive results in a fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) program. Fertagyl is now approved for use with closprostenol sodium to synchronize estrous cycles to allow for FTAI in beef cows. Pregnancy rate to FTAI was significantly higher in cows treated with Fertagyl than in cows treated with control. Estrumate has a long half-life of three hours3.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR ESTRUMATE Women of childbearing age, asthmatics, and persons with respiratory problems should exercise extreme caution when handling ESTRUMATE. ESTRUMATE is readily absorbed through the skin and may cause abortion and/or bronchospasms; direct contact with the skin should be avoided and accidental spillage on the skin should be washed off immediately with soap and water. Do not administer ESTRUMATE to a pregnant cow if abortion is not desired. Severe localized post-injection clostridial infections have been reported; in rare instances infection has led to death. At 50 and 100 times the recommended dose, mild side effects may be detected. For complete information on ESTRUMATE, see package insert. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FERTAGYL Not for use in humans. Keep out of reach of children.

It is great when people at work or peers in the business say something about us such as: “She’s a rock star!” “He’s a standout!” “If you need something done, just give it to her!” Yes, overachievers love to overachieve, but they love to be recognized, too. It can be so gratifying. However, what happens when our friends, family members and colleagues are also saying: “She always takes on more projects than everyone else — just to look good.” “Why should I volunteer when the boss is going to pick him anyway?” “She is just going to step in and tell me how to do it.” Or the most dreaded in farm family business: “He is so special.

From the Field New Arrivals Wesley and Jessica McClelland, San Diego, Calif., announce the birth of their son, Kimball Grounds McClelland. He joined Kimball his big sister, McKenzie McClelland Jane, as the next generation at Flying R Polled Herefords on Sept. 1. Super proud Grandma Jane and Marty “Pops” McClelland will be sure to have a heifer broken to lead when they visit the ranch in Rossville, Kan. Matt and Alyssa Copeland of Copeland & Sons Herefords LLC, Nara Visa, N.M., announce the birth of their daughter, Cally Cally Jo Jo Copeland. Born Copeland Nov. 4, she weighed 7 lbs., 9 oz., and was 21 inches long.

In Passing Nancy Jane Buckminster, 84, Lahoma, Okla., passed Oct. 11. Nancy was born Sept. 11, 1937, in Nancy Carrier, Okla., to Buckminster Henry and Audrey (Gigoux) Womack. She attended Carrier Schools and graduated with the class of 1956. She then attended Phillips University where she played basketball. On April 26, 1958, she married Charles Buckminster in Lahoma. The couple made their home on the ranch not far from Lahoma. She was active in Rural Rotary, Farm Bureau and the Cattlewomen’s Association, which recognized her for her service in 2012. She was also a 4-H leader for many years. She was an avid gardener, record keeper and loved tending cattle. Nancy is survived by her daughter, Robin Buckminster, Carrier; her son, Justin (Susan) Buckminster, Lahoma;

three grandchildren and seven greatgrandchildren. Also surviving are numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Charles; a brother, Clarence; and a sister, Mary. Edwin “Ed” Kottkamp, 88, Clayton (Belleville), Ind., passed Oct. 12. Ed was born in Indianapolis, Ind., to the late Emil H. and Edna (Summers) Kottkamp. He graduated from Arsenal Technical High School. Ed enrolled at Purdue University following graduation. Prior to graduating from Purdue with a bachelor’s degree in agriculture, he served his country in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. Ed married Marcia Davis on Dec. 22, 1957. The Kottkamp family owned a farm in Eminence, Ind. It was here that Ed learned to enjoy farming and Hereford cattle while working with the Frank Gash family through their travels attending county and state fairs. In 1953, Ed and his father purchased 280 wooded acres in Belleville, which they cleared and then established a house, barns and a pond. In 1958, Ed purchased his first Hereford cattle. All through the 1960s and ’70s, his herds continued to grow, selling quality livestock throughout Indiana and the United States. In 2003, Ed sold his last “cow herd” to a farm in Essex, N.Y. However, his legacy lives on through his family with their 4-H endeavors and future Kottkamp Hereford Cattle. The accolades that we could bestow upon Ed begin with his love of God and country. His active service in the Hazelwood Christian Church speaks for itself. His family was very important to him. His service to his community, 4-H and cattle associations speaks volumes. He was a member of the Hendricks County fair board, a founding member of the Hendricks County Cattlemen’s Association and served as the president and secretary/treasurer of the Indiana Hereford Association, along with his wife, Marcia. He was active in the American Hereford Association for

65 years, and still found time to be involved with Gideons International, Danville Camp. Ed was also dedicated to generations of school children, providing them safe transportation to and from the Mill Creek Schools as a bus driver for 42 years. Survivors include his loving wife of 64 years, Marcia; children, Dale (Lesli) Kottkamp and Karen (Brian) Cheesman, all of Clayton; grandchildren: Chandis and Dylan Kottkamp, Emilee (Andrew) Foster, and Bradi Cheesman; and great grandchildren, Everly and Emerson Foster. Ed was preceded in death by a sister, Juanita Elsner. Larry O. Breasbois, 74, Merrill, Mich., passed Oct. 13. Loving husband, father, grandfather and brother, Larry was the Larry Breasbois son of the late Eugene and Viola (Kaiser) Breasbois. He was born Aug. 24, 1947, at his home in Merrill. Larry received his bachelor’s degree in agricultural engineering in 1970 from Michigan State University (MSU). While attending MSU, he met Margaret Hennessey, whom he would marry in March of 1972. After college, Larry farmed with his brother, Leonard, and worked for the Midland Soil Conservation District. He then went on to work for Farm Bureau Insurance, owning his own insurance agency in Midland, Mich., for 30 years. Larry was very dedicated to his clients. He won the President’s Club Award for his exceptional service, something which made him very proud. Larry was a member of the Midland Antique Engine Association and enjoyed farming. Surviving are his wife, Margaret Breasbois; three children: Christie (Paul) Johnston, Heather Breasbois and Matthew Breasbois; two grandchildren: Cole and Andrew Johnston; two brothers: Lee (Karen) Breasbois and Leonard (Laura) Breasbois; as well as several cousins and friends. Hereford.org

Along with his parents, he is predeceased by a sister, Donna Kragenbrink, and a brother, Jerry Breasbois. Neal DeLoy Ward, 62, Blackfoot, Idaho, passed Oct. 15. Neal loved his family, God and country. Neal, the son of DeLoy and Neal Ward Viola Ward, grew up in Rexburg, Idaho, and was an avid scouter earning his Eagle. He also received his American Farmer degree in FFA. He married his high school sweetheart, Shelly Greene, in the Idaho Falls Temple on March 21, 1980. Neal and Shelly moved to Blackfoot to raise kids, cows, hay and grain. He passed his love of cows and the farm to his kids and grandkids. They have all helped with both the farm and the cows. Neal started a lifelong love of cows and farming at the age of 3 as he rode a tractor with his dad and even the herd bull when he was a little older. He accomplished his dream of owning and operating a successful farming and seedstock operation in both Madison and Bingham counties and is well known for his purebred cattle across the United States and beyond. He owned Wooden Shoe Farms and Timber Creek Ranch, which raise and sell registered polled Hereford and Angus cattle. His cattle have won many awards at state, regional and national shows. Neal had a big heart and helped a lot of people. Everyone knew him as the person that could tell a good story and make everyone laugh and smile even in sad situations. He will be greatly missed by his family including: wife, Shelly Ward; sons: Brad (Brittany) Ward, Blackfoot; and Kyle Ward, Blackfoot; daughters: Alicia (Steve) Billman, Rigby, Idaho; Jennifer (Arlin) Nelson, Buhl, Idaho; and Kelsie (Brooke) Ward, Santaquin, Utah; grandchildren: Jaylin, Zeke, Zade, Emma, Breck and Locke Ward; Tymber, Chyloh and Cache Billman; and Boedon, Treven and Case Nelson; his parents, DeLoy and Viola Ward, Rexburg; mother-in-law, Ada Greene, Archer, Idaho; brothers: Robert (Karen) Ward, Mountain Home, Idaho; and Perry (Holly) Ward, Blackfoot; sisters: Hereford.org

Eileen (Glenn) Bradbury, Perry, Utah; Ruby Ward, Logan, Utah; and Susan Rose (Matt) Lindsey, Rigby; and more including in-laws, Bryant and Michelle Greene, Archer; and Gary and Wendy Wilcox, Archer; and Richard and Julie Griffel, Ashton, Idaho; and many nieces and nephews. Arlyn W. Rabideau, 85, Clifton, Ill., passed Oct. 29. He was born in Kankakee, Ill., on June 11, 1936, to Alvin and Arlyn Rabideau Evelyn (Kurtenbach) Rabideau. He married Jackie Lamie on Jan. 10, 1959, and together they raised three children in Bonfield, Ill., and later Clifton. Arlyn’s life was spent as a caring husband, father, grandfather, cattleman and educator. He studied agriculture and animal science at the University of Illinois, leading to a lifelong love of cattle breeding. Arlyn was always active, often taking a leadership role, as a member of the Illinois Hereford Association. As an educator, he was a teacher, then principal at St. Pat’s Grade School over the course of 14 years. With a master’s degree from Olivet Nazarene University, and later his doctorate from the University of Illinois in 1993, he served as principal at Clifton Central High School for 22 years. It was important to him to build relationships with his students and teachers. Arlyn was ever present at school events, making sure teachers and students knew he cared. Arlyn was an active member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in L’Erable, Ill., for over 40 years. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Jacqueline Rabideau, and their children: Arlynda (Morgan) Ruch, Dallas, Texas; Rod Rabideau, Denver, Colo.; and Craig (Anne) Rabideau, Bourbonnais, Ill. He loved his six grandchildren: Abbie (Chris) Perry, Brittany (Matt) Ferguson, Brook Bailey, Preston Bailey, Alyssa (Jesus) Bailey and Marek Rabideau, along with his five great-grandchildren: Landon and Laikyn Perry; Eleanor and Jacqueline Ferguson; and Eden Llanas. He was preceded in death by his parents, Alvin and Evelyn Rabideau.

Take advantage of hybrid vigor by capitalizing on Hereford genetics. The Maternal Advantage program generates females with added longevity, more docility, increased fertility and more profit per year. Can be utilized by producers using Hereford bulls on British-based cows or Brahman-based cows in their breeding program. Producers utilizing the program will have access to a sire EPD summary, added market exposure, replacement selection tools, genetic improvement tools and access to AHA resources, marketing and staff. Visit Hereford.org to learn more and enroll.

Qualifications • Producers must verify that eligible females are sired by registered Hereford bulls with transferred ownership. • Participating bull batteries must rank in the top 50% of the breed for Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) if used on British-based cows or the top 50% of the breed for Brahman Influence Index (BII$) if used on Brahman-based cows.
