A History of Greats

At the most recent American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Membership meeting three individual breeders and one family devoted to breeding Hereford cattle were honored by introduction into the Hereford Hall of Fame. Lilla Bell, Paradise Valley, Nev.; Jackie Davis, Lincoln, Calif.; Gene Wiese, Manning, Iowa; and the Douthit family of St. Francis, Kan., were all distinguishably recognized for their contributions to the Hereford breed. We congratulate them for their many years of dedication and influence. Dedication, hard work, adoption of innovation, persistence, integrity, family values and statesmanship are all characteristics of these great individuals and their families. The AHA also honored two men who led both the American Hereford Association and the American Polled Hereford Association (APHA) during a time of industry change, innovation and challenge. The times in which these two gentlemen served as chief executive officers was not a particularly good time for production agriculture, and it was not particularly the best of times for the Hereford breed for both horned and polled populations. H.H. “Hop” Dickenson and T.D. “Dusty” Rich, past AHA and APHA executives, respectively, represented a generation of leadership

that was responsible for establishing a direction and vision for the Hereford breed that has influenced the demand for Hereford cattle to this day.

Looking back Both leaders navigated their respective organizations through a period of fire and brimstone. The 1970s commercial cow herd was dominated by Hereford influence. A slow erosion of Hereford market share was underway as Continental European breeds began flooding the industry. The packing industry converted from carcass beef to fast-chain, boxedbeef production, which influenced packer economics and the packers’ respective buying signal for type and kind of cattle. At the same time, American consumers, influenced by the medical profession and sensational media reports, became concerned with the amount of fat in their diets. Consequently, the signal for larger framed, heavier muscled, lean, high-yielding cattle was enforced from the packing industry, putting the Hereford breed on the other side of the fence from packer demand. Ultimately, the dominant U.S. commercial Hereford herd became the basis for beef industry crossbreeding and, consequently, Hereford bull demand experienced a 30-year decline. In the 1980s, the Angus breed found its strength in quality grade and

began a long and storied development of the first beef breed brand and, thereby, corrected a dismal market share shift that eventually resulted in the breed’s current strong position within the industry. During the 1970s and 1980s, the tax laws were much different from what they are today. Masses of wealth could be sheltered in production agriculture, avoiding tax collection and attracting large investors. These investors were not necessarily interested in the long-term improvement of the breed. Their motives for investing in the beef industry were more based on entertainment, legal tax evasion and genetic speculation as opposed to producing genetics that have a commercial purpose. The amazing investment and injection of capital culminated in mega prices for high-profile bulls such as Denver horned Hereford champions David and Learch and polled Hereford bulls such as the 1981 North American Champion “Jogger” (Will Via Justa V), bringing $250,000 for one-quarter interest, and his brother Enforcer 107H, a bull with semen sales to South America amounting to $1 million in value in one year. In 1985 more than 40 polled Hereford females brought six digit figures at public auction. The end to this crazy investment scheme came in 1985 with the passing of continued on page 6...

the Gramm-Rudman Act, a historic tax reform act that eliminated massive agriculture exemptions that halted major capital investments in the beef cattle and equine industries. Artificial stimulus of the seedstock industry ended, bringing the industry back under real-world economic standards. This economic change in conjunction with the packer demand shift further eroded the Hereford population.

Navigating the times

Hereford breed are indisputably evident in today’s breed trend. The AHA has built upon the original backbone of the Total Performance Recording (TPR) program, evolving the system through the development of new economically relevant traits, economic indexes and the most recent introduction of genomic-enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs).

The Perfection case

Breed integrity was a non-negotiable Dickenson and Rich navigated these issue for both of these men.

were the first to begin board talks between the AHA and APHA to discuss similarities in their respective organizations that would plant seeds for future amalgamation of the two organizations. Both started their respective organizations down the path of using good science and statistical methods to predict genetic merit in the population. Dickenson and his board funded the largest ever breed characterization study with Colorado State University and Monfort Packing Co., which documented the wonderful end product palatability traits of the Hereford breed. He is considered the “father” of the Certified Hereford Beef program, and his vision would result in the growth of a program that is recognized today as one of two of the nation’s top-quality brands. We have the benefit of history for reflection and a perspective that is above the emotional aspects of change that the respective organization endured over time. We are operating at a time when the demand for Hereford cattle has not seen these heights for the value of the average Hereford range bull in more than 50 years. We owe a great deal to these two men, many others not mentioned in this column and the breeders who were honored this year for their tenacity, loyalty, dedication and vision of what this breed means to the U.S. beef cattle industry. Thank you and congratulations to all of these fine people and the legacy that they have brought to our industry.

Happy holidays On behalf of the AHA staff and Board, we wish all our members a merry Christmas and a prosperous 2013. HW

Educational Forum Features Performance Program Updates The 2012 American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting weekend was kicked off with the educational forum Friday afternoon. A nice crowd joined us at the Argosy for an afternoon of education and updates related to AHA performance programs. It is our hope to have copies of the presentations available for members to download or order. Watch Hereford eNews and the January Hereford World for an announcement when they will be available. During the AHA Board meeting the Board discussed its continued commitment to DNA testing more high accuracy sires. If you have a bull that does not have a genomic-enhanced expected progeny difference (GE-EPD), has a weaning weight accuracy of better than .50 and was born in 2001 or after, contact Toni Shapiro at the AHA office, and the AHA will pay $40 of the total to have your bull tested. If you have a bull that is slightly less than .50 accuracy for WW and has seen very heavy use, contact me at jward@hereford.org or at 816-842-3757, and I will see if we can help you with that cost share.

DNA testing update A big portion of the educational forum did focus on DNA testing and GE-EPDs. The transition to GeneSeek for DNA testing continues to be a learning experience for staff and our members.

/ December 2012

One of the questions during the forum was about the amount of hair needed for testing. The bottom line is the lab needs a minimum of 80 hairs with the follicles, and the best place to pull is right above the switch on the tail. This technology is also very sensitive to contamination from pourons and other insecticides, so please keep that in mind. As you have questions about the DNA testing process, don’t forget to check the “DNA Testing Procedures” document that is posted to the “Educational Center” on Hereford.org. GeneSeek had the document printed in brochure format and distributed copies at the Annual Meeting. Here are a few of the recent questions we have received in the office regarding DNA testing: What is the basic panel? The AHA basic panel allows you to: 1) AI (artificial insemination) permit a sire — This requires parent verification. If the parents were originally tested using microsatellite technology, they may need to be redone using SNP technology. This test qualifies them for the legacy animal retest pricing, if they were previously tested. 2) ET (embryo transfer) permit a dam — Only a profile is required on the ET dam for this permit. 3) Genetic abnormality testing — idiopathic epilepsy (IE), dilutor (DL) and hypotrichosis (HY).

4) Parentage verification — This is used when parents may be unknown or when breeders use multiple sire pastures. Note: parentage verification must be requested; it is not included unless specifically requested. How much time should I allow for DNA testing to be performed on my animals prior to a production sale? It is appropriate to begin testing three months in advance of any sale if you intend to include the DNA results or abnormality information in your sale catalog. How will GE-EPDs on parent animals affect progeny pedigree estimates? The current method of calculating blended GE-EPDs only enhances the EPDs of the subject animal. All resulting progeny will have a pedigree estimate that is calculated from the parents’ base EPDs. GE-EPDs will not affect pedigree estimates of progeny. AHA is currently working to build a full genetic evaluation that includes the GE-EPDs. If I do DNA testing but have not kept compliant with Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR) will my animals have EPDs? GE-EPDs are another selection tool that will be used as a correlated trait. So, the pedigree is important, the phenotypes are important and the genomics component is important and, in tandem, all will be used to calculate EPDs and corresponding accuracies. It will be imperative to continue to collect phenotypes, and you continued on page 11... Hereford.org

will not get EPDs on animals if you are not compliant for Whole Herd TPR or if you are simply a pedigree breeder. I have received multiple result statements for the same animal. What does this mean? The lab is currently processing information

through multiple channels. This approach creates multiple result statements that are sent to the breeder separately because individual pieces of data are processed faster than others. Breeders may receive parentage information separate from abnormalities. HW

Benchmark reports available The American Hereford Association (AHA) released another herd management tool available to its progressive-minded members this fall. The herd benchmark report is a summary of genetic trends within a herd and compared to the entire Hereford breed. “This report will confirm for some breeders what they know about their herds,” explains Stacy Sanders, AHA director of records. “For others it may be a real eye-opening experience to help visualize where their selection decisions have taken their herd.” The graphs, generated through a breeder’s online Whole Herd Total Performance Records database, depict the trends for weight, carcass, fertility and selection index trends for the herd. There are graphs displaying breed genetic trends as well as graphs comparing the herd’s genetic trends to the breed’s overall genetic trends. At the end of the report, a table is provided that shows the genetic trend for all animals as well as for dams only. This report contains expected progeny differences (EPDs) for sires and dams in the herd that have contributed progeny to the herd. It is important to know that this report reflects only the animals that have contributed genetically to the herd. It also contains a list of heifers and bulls that are progeny of the herd but have not yet reached breeding age or produced progeny of their own. A chart and graph show the herd’s average EPDs over several years, if applicable. The report also includes a table showing adjusted average values for phenotypic traits (weights and scanning). This report will be created for members with the release of each new set of EPDs (spring and fall) as a download that can be retrieved from a member’s enhanced Internet account. Just click on the button in the right-hand column labeled “Herd Benchmark Report.” To set up an AHA online account, please contact the AHA. If members do not have Internet access or are unable to download a copy of the report for their herd, they can call the AHA at 816-842-3757 and request the report. Downloads online are available at no cost, but copies that are printed and mailed from the AHA cost $10. Note: Some Mac users are having a problem viewing graphs in the new benchmark reports. Mac computers use a built-in, nonAdobe piece of software to open and view PDF files, which doesn’t always work well with files created with non-Adobe applications. Mac users are encouraged to download a free version of Adobe Reader, which will allow them to view the graphs. Benchmark reports are a useful tool for breeders trying to build an economically efficient herd through genetic selection. HW Hereford.org

The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met in Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 1-2 for its fall board meeting. Highlights of the meeting are:

Election of officers, appointments The Board elected the following officers and made the following appointments for 2013: President: Cliff Copeland Vice president: Steve Lambert Executive vice president: Craig Huffhines Treasurer: Leslie Mathews National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) representative: Jack Holden

Member service committee • AHA has implemented a new streamlined operating system to reduce turnaround of registry and performance work to fewer than three days. • A new online registry system is soon to be tested that will upgrade the current batch online system. The new system will allow for payment online, transfers, and quick turnaround. • A mobile application is being developed and soon will be released that will allow breeders rapid access to the Association search engine. Another system application for registry and data submission is on the drawing board. • The Board is reviewing a method to streamline the embryo transfer (ET) certificate process. A committee is to be formed to look at all angles in order to assure the original breeder of the dam will receive proper credit for

the flush, and the committee will also seek ways to expedite the speed of commerce. • The Board elected to develop a paperless registry system that allows breeders an option to store papers or receive them as they have traditionally. This system will be developed in the coming year. • An Allflex tagging system that collects ear tissue for DNA extraction is currently being evaluated as a viable identification system for breeders. • The new DNA laboratory is making major improvements in turnaround, but continuous improvement options are being evaluated.

Breed improvement committee • The Board reviewed the process for improving genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). The Board challenged staff to collect a minimum of 1,000 50K genotypes by year’s end from highly proven bulls that will influence the training population for the enhanced panel. The Board approved $40,000 for immediate investment in the technology with future investment pending. • The economic indexes are currently under review so that more reliable estimates of fertility and cow efficiency can be estimated. Furthermore, the

2013 Committee Appointments Executive: Cliff Copeland, Nara Visa, N.M., chairman; Steve Lambert, Oroville, Calif.; Marty Lueck, Mountain Grove, Mo.; and Dale Micheli, Ft. Bridger, Wyo. Financial/audit: Micheli and Lueck, co-chairmen; Copeland and Eric Walker, Morrison, Tenn. Breed improvement: Lueck, chairman; Keith Fawcett, Ree Heights, S.D.; Fred Larson, Spring Valley, Wis.; Micheli; Sam Shaw, Caldwell, Idaho; and David Trowbridge, Tabor, Iowa.

economic models will be reassessed based on current input costs and carcass values. • Continued work in the area of feed intake is projected to yield a test evaluation for a feed efficiency EPD. The pilot project will continue with further collaboration under the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium (NBCEC) federally funded feed efficiency study.

Marketing committee • The new advertising campaign has recently been launched. Continued emphasis on the value of Hereford heterosis will be the message of the organization in all promotion and advertising venues. • Staff will continue to produce educational videos to be released on the Hereford.org website. • The Board approved an additional expenditure for field service advertising that will promote AHA fieldmen as key contacts for Hereford information in regional and state farm publications. • Certified Hereford Beef logos that can be used on stock trailers and cattle hauler trailers are to be produced and offered for member use.

Finance committee • The Board reviewed the fiscal yearend financials for the AHA and its subsidiaries. The AHA reported a profit of $354,000, saw registrations increase 8% and reported a significant profit in CHB of $279,000.

Hereford youth committee • The Board reviewed the system for site selection for the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). • Significant fundraising efforts are underway to support the event. • Proposals are forthcoming for future sites. • The Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) was recognized as a viable part of the future funding mechanism for the JNHE.

Affiliated Foods renews commitment to CHB

Brisket, the CHB steer, and baseball-themed stress balls drew attendees to the CHB LLC booth at the Jake’s Finer Foods’ 16th Annual Food Show on Sept. 19.

A grand slam with CHB® On Sept. 19, Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) hit a home run at the Jake’s Finer Foods’ 16th Annual Food Show — “The World Series of Flavor” — held at the Reliant Center in Houston, Texas. In the bullpen, Jake’s custom cut shop, Gourmet Ranch, displayed its complete array of center-of-theplate offerings including CHB, while a team of chefs served up delicious grilled samples and menu creations. Danielle Starr, CHB LLC district manager, visited with restaurants and grocery stores about using CHB — in particular, the CHB Classic Program. “Potential customers loved the Certified Hereford Beef booth because of a photo opportunity with Brisket, the Certified Hereford Beef steer, and free stress balls featuring our logo and the logos of Jake’s Finer Foods and Gourmet Ranch,” she says. “Immediately after entering the food show, customers entered the bullpen. Their first view was the meat case with our product, and they were drawn by the aroma of freshly prepared beef by Chef Thomas Tanes.” 2012 marks 66 years of business for family-owned Jake’s Finer Foods, which has grown into a leading full-service broadline distributor offering a selection of nearly 10,000 products. Jake’s Finer Foods distributes to foodservice providers and restaurants in Texas and western Louisiana. To learn more, visit Jakesfinerfoods.com.

Affiliated Foods, Amarillo, Texas, has long supplied CHB to its customers. But Mike Snyder, Affiliated Foods vice president of food service sales, and Russell Fontenot, Affiliated Foods director of meat operations, say they have begun a new commitment to promoting Certified Hereford Beef to its clients. “We are really excited about Certified Hereford Beef,” Snyder says. “When our salespeople go into an operation, the consistent quality of the product sells itself. We even began guaranteeing the product several months ago, which is saying a lot on a $300-$500-percase product. But we’ve never had to use it.” Affiliated Foods is so sold on CHB that it is telling the world — or at least, its part of the world. The rear doors of 10 Affiliated Foods trucks will feature the CHB logo for the next five years. These trucks travel through west Texas to Ruidoso, N.M., Albuquerque, N.M., and remote parts of New Mexico and into southern Colorado. For 60 years, Affiliated Foods has met the needs of grocery stores and restaurants in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Wyoming. HW

Ten Affiliated Foods trucks will feature the CHB logo for the next five years.

In April, Mick Welch (right), CHB LLC vice president of sales, promoted the CHB product at the Affiliated Foods Food Show in Amarillo, Texas, with Affiliated Foods Director of Food Service Mike Snyder.

Plan to Participate in Junior AI Program Thank you Todd, Kim and Kasey Herman of Herman Cattle Co. for purchasing the street sign that goes in front of the American Hereford Association (AHA) office at this year’s Ladies of the Royal Sale. The Hermans have always supported Hereford youth. As Kim told me at the Royal, “Todd and I have always been all about the kids, you are the reason we do what we do with the Hereford Association.” Even though Kasey is too old to show, they continue giving their support and sponsorships so that our show and the juniors will be successful in all we do. So thank you so much Todd, Kim, and Kasey for your continued support. The Junior AI (artificial insemination) Program is something many of you have heard of but actually may not have participated in. This program is a great opportunity for all juniors involved in the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA).

Chairman – Tamar Adcock, tadcock@ksu.edu Vice chairman – Krissi McCurdy, krissim2011@gmail.com Communications chair – Jaime Hanson, jaime_lh_30@hotmail.com Membership chair – Courtney Tribble, tripletfarms@comcast.net Leadership chair – Keysto Stotz, keysto-stotz@utulsa.edu Fundraising chair – Shelby Rogers, showingshelby@yahoo.com Directors Matt Woolfolk, matthewwoolfolk@gmail.com Austin Buzanowski, abooze74@yahoo.com Kristin Bielema, bielemak@msu.edu Elise Hackett, elise.hackett@yahoo.com Brady Jensen, basketballjensen@gmail.com Jason May, jason.may@jacks.sdstate.edu Director of youth activities Amy Cowan P.O.

Through the program, NJHA members are given a rare chance to have access to the genetics of Herefords’ great sires that have been donated by progressive breeders from all over the nation. Juniors get the chance to choose from a wide variety of leading herd sires from great bloodlines. The list even includes some national winners. You may think there is a catch to all of this, but there isn’t. You receive the semen and semen certificates, all for free. You read that right — FREE, no charge to you except shipping expense, if needed. This program encourages youth to get involved with starting their own herds and helps with the breeding process, since it is a long-term project. Now you may be wondering how you get involved in this fabulous Junior AI Program. Well, of course, you must be an NJHA member. (You should already be. Don’t miss out on being a member of this great association. Membership renewal information was mailed to members in September.) Next you must show a female at any qualifying junior show. This is any show where AHA offers a portion of the cash premiums or regional/state association shows that follow NJHA show rules and send exhibitor information to the AHA youth department.

Then you must nominate the heifer the calendar year after she was shown. You must do this by Jan. 15. Applications will be distributed in December and will be available on JrHereford.org. Once you have been selected to receive semen on a certain bull, you will receive notification from the AHA youth department including information on how to obtain the semen. Note the registration of the calf born from the Junior AI Program semen is the same as normal AI calves. The semen and certificate do not have to be used for the nominated female’s first calf or for her individually. You can use the semen to breed any heifer in your herd. I have participated in this program for many years and have been able to raise not only good show heifers that have done well but also many females to improve my herd. I want to encourage all NJHA members to participate. Just remember the application form is due Jan. 15. This form can be found on the NJHA website, JrHereford.org. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to help grow your herd. Also, from all of us on the NJHA board, we would like to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year. HW

wonderful legacy of commitment to NHW and Hereford youth including: Barbara Ernst, Windsor, Colo.; Jeanine Radel, Spring Green, Wis.; Diann Strickland, Mershon, Ga.; Ann Guess, Jayton, Texas; and Mary Ann Berg, Dalton, Ohio.

New board members Three women have joined the NHW board with each bringing a variety of expertise, leadership skills and enthusiasm to their new responsibilities. Carol Priefert, St. Joseph, Mich., is an active partner in her family’s operation, Priefert Farms in Carol Fairmont, Neb. The farm has been involved in breeding polled Hereford cattle for more than 50 years and spans four generations. Priefert’s Hereford background is extensive. She was active in the Nebraska Polled Hereford Association and showed Herefords at various local, state and national events. One of her prized possessions is her second edition “Poll-ette Cookbook” given to her by her Grandma Priefert. She looks forward to her career in marketing, project management and business development helping her in committee assignments. “I would like to see NHW continue to grow its membership and involvement from the state organizations and identify and bring to market new ways to raise money for programs. I especially want to lend a hand and encourage other people to continue the 30-plus year tradition of the best queen program in the cattle industry. Great state queens equal a strong national queen.” Alise Nolan, Gilmer, Texas, and her husband, Scott, and their daughters — Ilissa, Bethany and

Audrey — are avid Hereford enthusiasts. Alise is a member and past president of the Texas Hereford Auxiliary Alise and past lead advisor with her husband of the Texas Junior Hereford Association. She is currently the academic coordinator at Gilmer Intermediate School. She says she looks forward to serving on the NHW ways and means committee. “I have watched as two national Hereford women groups became one. From a distance, I could tell the hard work and dedication each of the women on the initial committees had put toward the formation of the new NHW. Through my daughters, I appreciate NHW’s programs. The leadership contests, scholarships and Bethany serving as National Hereford Queen helped mold my girls into what they are today.” Beth Blinson, Buies Creek , N.C., and her husband, Bryan, oversee a thirdgeneration Hereford Beth farm that is operated by their two girls, Rossie and Mason. Beth has been in the Hereford business since her teen years in Tennessee. She served as the Tennessee Polled Hereford Queen and is currently the vice president of the North Carolina Poll-ettes. Beth says their family vacations usually involve a cattle trailer and a show, but she enjoys the times making memories with her family. “My passion is with the youth, our breed and advocating for youth programs. I am fortunate to be on the extemporaneous speech contest committee, a contest that I am very passionate about. I will also be working closely with Shellie Collins this year as I shadow the role of treasurer for the NHW board.” HW Hereford.org

2012 AHA Annual Meeting and American Royal Coverage

Hereford — It All Adds Up Members celebrate year of resurgence and conduct Association business. Hereford breeders from across the U.S. were in Kansas City Nov. 2-4 for the 2012 American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting. “Hereford — It All Adds Up” was the theme for the weekend as members joined together to hear updates on Association programs, conduct Association business and attend Hereford activities at the American Royal. Friday afternoon the event kicked off with the educational forum at the Argosy Hotel and Spa. A crowd of nearly 200 attended the event that featured an update on Hereford DNA testing and genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) as well as an industry outlook session led by Randy Blach from CattleFax and a breed improvement 101 session facilitated by Dan Moser, Kansas State University beef cattle genetics associate professor. Following the forum, members and guests enjoyed the Hereford Honorees Reception. Hall of Fame, Hall of Merit and scholarship winners were honored during the enjoyable evening of fellowship.

Retiring from the AHA Board of Directors were Paul “Butch” Funk, Copperas Cove, Texas; David Breiner, Alma, Kan.; and Jimmie Johnson, Clinton, Okla.

During the educational forum, Randy Blach, CattleFax chief executive officer, presented an industry outlook. He said four animals today produce as much beef as five did 20 years ago. “There will be 27 million more people in the U.S. in 10 years,” he said. “What is your role as individual producers and as an Association in feeding those people? You have a very important seat at that table. Global food production will need to increase 40% by 2030 and 70% by 2050; beef and dairy production need to double by 2050.” He discussed the drought and rebuilding the national cow herd. “This has been a pretty good run,” he said. “You’re selling bulls for record prices, even in the inventory reductions we face.” He challenged Hereford producers to continue to improve the product they produce. “As commercial breeders, we’re going to force you to deliver,” he said.

Dorian Garrick, Iowa State University Lush chair in animal breeding and genetics and National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium executive director, gave an update on Hereford genomic research during the educational forum. He challenged Hereford breeders to test more highaccuracy Hereford sires.

New directors selected, honorees recognized

Elisa Marques, GeneSeek Inc. market development manager, discussed the DNA testing process. She explained the importance of submitting at least 80 hair follicles that have not been contaminated. She encouraged producers to utilize the DNA Testing Procedures fact sheet as a reference when collecting and submitting DNA samples. Producers can find the fact sheet in the Hereford.org Education Center.

Saturday the Annual Membership Meeting started at 8:30 a.m. The meeting included the election of three new directors, announcement of new officers, and recognition of Hall of Fame and Hall of Merit inductees. Elected to serve as AHA Directors for the next four years were Curtis Curry, McAlester, Okla.; Jonny Harris, Screven, Ga.; and Sam Shaw, Caldwell, Idaho. Leading the AHA during the next year will be Cliff Copeland, Nara Visa, N.M., as president and Steve Lambert, Oroville, Calif., as vice president (see Page 30). During the meeting, Lilla Bell, Paradise Valley, Nev.; Jackie Davis, Lincoln, Calif.; Gene Wiese, Manning, Iowa; and the Douthit family of St. Francis, Kan., were inducted into the AHA Hall of Fame. H.H. “Hop” Hereford.org

Dickenson and T.D. “Dusty” Rich were also honored with the Hereford Hall of Merit Award (see Page 32). Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) distributed $36,000 in scholarships to National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members and Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC presented Hen House its Food Innovator Award. In addition, AHA committee chairmen presented program updates. A pdf of the presentation slides, as well as the video played to kick off the meeting, is available online at Hereford.org/AnnualMeeting.

NHW hosts meeting The National Hereford Women (NHW) hosted its annual meeting Saturday afternoon. During the meeting, the 2012 Hereford Woman of the Year — Ruth Espenscheid, Argyle, Wis. — was recognized (see Page 39). Another highlight of the meeting was the election of new board members and the announcement of NHW officers (see NHW board photo on Page 39). For more NHW highlights, see Page 22.

Sale averages $6,805 Saturday afternoon was the Ladies of the Royal Sale at the American Royal

complex. When the gavel fell for the last time, 21 heifers had averaged $6,805, eight Hereford steer prospects averaged $2,138, 12 embryos averaged $738, 13 units of semen averaged $608, one flush gathered $6,000 and one pregnant recipient brought $5,000. For more sale highlights, see Page 42.

Herefords in the ring Sunday, Hereford enthusiasts spent the day at the American Royal complex attending the junior Hereford show, followed by the National Hereford Show. Junior exhibitors paraded 96 entries before Mark Ebeling, Cleburne, Texas. Judge Murray Andrews of Moosejaw, Sask., sorted the 249-head open show. For highlights of the show, see Page 44.

Hen House Markets Awarded CHB Food Industry Innovator Recognition Hen House Markets — a high-quality focused, upscale supermarket located in Kansas City — is the longest-running customer of Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) in the country. During the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting Saturday, Nov. 3, in Kansas City, Mo., Hen House Markets was presented a Food Industry Innovator Recognition. “The American Hereford Association is grateful to Hen House Markets for its loyalty and innovative marketing efforts that have helped grow national recognition for the brand,” says Dale Micheli, AHA Board member and CHB LLC president from Ft.

2012 AHA Annual Meeting and American Royal Coverage

Copeland Elected American Hereford Association President Cliff Copeland, Nara Visa, N.M., was announced as the new president of the American Hereford Association (AHA) during the Annual Membership Meeting in Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 3. A Hereford enthusiast since birth, Cliff currently co-manages Copeland and Sons LLC with his wife, Pat; parents, Clifford and Barbara; and Cliff and Pat’s son and daughter-in-law, Matt and Kyla. Copeland and Sons was established in 1943, and cattle are its only business. The family’s 500-head herd includes 90 registered Hereford females, 80 cows used to produce club calves and 330 commercial Hereford cows. “I am extremely humbled by being named the new president and I will try my best to be deserving of the honor,” Cliff says. “Demand for our breed is as high as it has been in over 30 years. We have been rediscovered as a great choice to get a hybrid vigor boost out of the nation’s predominately black cow herd, and not lose carcass merit in doing so.” During his youth, Cliff was a member of the American Junior Hereford Association board and served as president. Committed to helping the breed, Cliff has helped with Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) promotions in his area. Cliff served as the AHA vice president in 2012 as well as chairman of the show

and sale committee and was a member of the executive, breed improvement and member service committees. “Our Herefords are better than they have ever been thanks to the tremendous effort by our members to make them the best that they can be,” Cliff says. “I take my hat off to our members for staying the course and for raising and improving the breed during a time when it would have been easy to give up and go be producers of other kinds of cattle. It is because of your tenacity that we are seeing and enjoying success that is well deserved.” Selected to serve as the 2013 AHA vice president was Steve Lambert of Oroville, Calif. Steve is a secondgeneration Hereford breeder who was active showing cattle as a youth on the state and national levels. His family owned and operated Creekside Ranch, which was one of the largest Hereford cattle operations in California. Today Lambert Ranch is a diversified enterprise, growing high-quality grain, hay and Hereford and Angus cattle. A Gold TPR (Total Performance Records) breeder, Lambert Ranch has bred several Dams of Distinction. Steve has served as a director of the California/Nevada Polled Hereford Association since 2002. In addition, he has been very active in local government and other community organizations, including serving as mayor of Paradise and being Butte County Supervisor. Steve has three children. Completing their terms on the AHA Board were outgoing president, David Breiner, Alma, Kan.; Paul Funk,

Copperas Cove, Texas; and Jimmie Johnson, Clinton, Okla. Delegates elected three new Directors during the membership meeting. Curtis Curry, McAlester, Okla.; Jonny Harris, Screven, Ga.; and Sam Shaw, Caldwell, Idaho, will serve fouryear terms on the 12-member Board.

Curtis Curry Oklahoma breeder Curtis Curry has been in the registered Hereford business since 1989. Curtis and his family reside in McAlester. They run approximately 75-100 females in Okfuskee and Pittsburg counties. They sell mostly private treaty, marketing approximately 40 to 50 bulls per year. Curry Herefords also hosted a BuyHereford.com sale last fall — making the Curry family the first to host its own BuyHereford.com sale. The family has also consigned to most National Hereford sales through the years. Curtis’ marketing goal is to obtain enough land to increase his herd and be able to have the numbers to host a production sale each year. He’d also like to be able to sell all bulls to one operation annually. Curtis and his family participate in national shows including the Junior National Hereford Expo, American Royal, Ft. Worth Stock Show and the National Western Stock Show. He is currently president of the Oklahoma Hereford Association (OHA) and has served on the OHA board for 10 years. He has also served as the Junior Hereford Association of Oklahoma advisor for six years.

Along with the cattle operation, they also manage timber, annual forages, hay, haylage and row crops including cotton, corn, peanuts and soybeans. One of the family’s goals is to continue producing seedstock with quality to meet the purebred breeder’s needs and quantity to serve the commercial breeder and supplying both with the information they need to make their selections. Jonny is currently a Georgia Hereford Association director. Other leadership roles include United Braford Breeders director and former treasurer, former Georgia Cattlemen’s Association (GCA) regional vice president and executive committee member, Florida Cattlemen’s Association member, former Wayne County Livestock Association president, former Southeast Georgia Cattlemen’s Association president, Wayne County Farm Bureau director and Wayne County Supervisor.

2012 AHA Annual Meeting and American Royal Coverage

Hereford in Her Blood A fifth- and fourth-generation Hereford breeder, Whitney Andras was crowned National Hereford Queen during the American Royal. by Meg Drake

hen it comes to show cattle, more specifically Hereford cattle, the recently crowned National Hereford Queen, 18-year-old Whitney Andras, from Checotah, Okla., is no newcomer to the business. A fifth-generation Hereford breeder on the Andras side and a fourth-generation on the Ellis side, Whitney comes from a family that has been devoted to the Hereford breed for many years, making her a perfect candidate to represent the organization as its queen. “I went to my first show when I was 10 days old,” Whitney says. Since that

first show, she has attended numerous Hereford events and activities across the U.S. and Canada. Her deep-rooted passion and involvement stem from a long line of family members who have been active in the Hereford breed. “My grammy Fay Ellis was a founding member of the National Organization of Poll-ettes and the first chairman,” Whitney says with pride. Among other family involvements, she says her mother served on the Junior Polled Hereford Council and was vice president. Her brother John served on the National Junior Hereford Association board, her dad’s family received the Century Hereford Breeder award at last year’s Annual Meeting in Kansas City, and her mother’s father, George Ellis, is a very respected name in the business. With generations of Hereford involvement, it only seems natural for Whitney to represent the Hereford breed first as the Oklahoma Hereford Queen and now as the National Hereford Queen. Whitney was crowned the 2012-13 National Hereford Queen prior to the

Hereford royalty honored during the 2012 American Royal (l to r) are: Cara Cummings, Gilmer, Texas, Miss Congeniality; Bridget Beran, Claflin, Kan., second runner-up; MaKayla Rutt, Minden, Neb., first runner-up; Whitney Andras, Checotah, Okla., 2012-13 National Hereford Queen; and Amanda Bacon, Siloam Springs, Ark., 2011-12 National Hereford Queen.

selection of the champion Hereford bull during the 2012 American Royal National Hereford Show in Kansas City on Nov. 4. Whitney competed against three other young women from across the U.S. for the title. The National Hereford Queen program is managed by the National Hereford Women. Queen candidates are evaluated on their involvement with and knowledge of the Hereford breed, behavior, attitude, appearance and interaction with producers, as well as their résumés and interviews. Judges look for a responsible, well-rounded young lady who is willing to spend an entire year traveling all over the country to represent the Hereford breed to her best ability. First runner-up honors went to MaKayla Rutt, Minden, Neb.; Bridget Beran, Claflin, Kan., was named second runner-up, and the Miss Congeniality award was presented to Cara Cummings, Gilmer, Texas. Although Whitney’s family boasts an impressive repertoire, she has had her own fair share of successes both in and out of the showring. Some of her most noted achievements include winning her division at the 2008 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Kansas City, Mo., exhibiting the third overall female at the 2008 Oklahoma Youth Expo and winning showmanship four years in a row at the Oklahoma state show. An active member of the Junior Hereford Association of Oklahoma, Whitney has served the organization as secretary, treasurer, vice president and, currently, president. She has attended nine JNHEs and two Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Conventions. Currently a freshman at Connors State College in Warner, Okla., Hereford.org

Whitney is pursuing an associate’s degree in science and serving as a member of the freshman livestock judging team. After Connors, Whitney plans to transfer to either Texas Tech or Oklahoma State University, where she hopes to dual major in agricultural communications and agribusiness. Although busy with college and judging, Whitney says she is extremely excited to begin her stint as the National Hereford Queen. “I want to be able to attend as many events as I can and be there for all of the juniors and breeders whether it be cattle related or not,” Whitney says. “I’m looking forward to being able to be an ambassador for the Hereford breed and travel across the country and visit all of my fellow breeders.” She also says she hopes to set an example for Hereford youth that she may cross paths with during her reign.

Hereford.org

Herefords are a family affair for both the Andras and Ellis families. Whitney’s family, who traveled to Kansas City to support her as she vied for National Hereford Queen, (pictured l to r) are: her aunt, Donna (Ellis) Todd; her father, J.C. Andras; her mother, Deb Andras; her maternal grandmother, Fay Ellis; and her brother, Geoff Andras.

“I want them to know that I’m a very down-to-earth person and that I will bend over backwards to help anyone in any possible way that I can,” she adds. “Being chosen as the National Hereford Queen is such a humbling experience. I am honored to represent the Hereford breed and the great tradition this role represents.” Whitney says one of her greatest role models is her “Papa,” George Ellis.

“That is the person that I look up to the most,” she says. “To make such a difference in the breed and the cattle industry, plus make such a positive impact on everybody, that is something that I would like to do someday.” Although she didn’t have the chance to meet her grandfather, Whitney said she knows he’d be proud of her new title as she represents the breed he loved so much.

An Incredible Journey It feels like just yesterday when my name was being called over the loud speaker in Hale Arena as the 2011-12 National Hereford Queen, but when the American Royal ended this past weekend, so did my term as queen. Throughout the weekend in Kansas City, I was asked if I was ready to be done, and my response was always something along the lines of “It’s been a great year, but it’s time to pass the title on.” Being queen this past year has without a doubt been one of the greatest experiences in my life thus far. Being back home allows my mind to finally realize that I will never again be wearing those all white outfits, the crown or the sash. I have quickly discovered how much I am going to miss being queen. This year I have had the opportunity to travel to all six national Hereford shows, the Junior National Hereford Expo, the World Hereford Conference, and numerous state shows and sales across the country. On each trip I had the chance to visit with old friends, meet new ones and see great Hereford cattle. With that being said, there are numerous individuals who have gone above and beyond to help make this year possible for me, and I thank them for all they have done. I would especially like to thank my family, who put up with all of my craziness during the year without a complaint. My mom, dad, brother and sister went out of their way to help pick up the slack in the barns when I was away

from home or to travel to the countless shows as my support team. In Kansas City, I was honored to have the chance to crown Miss Whitney Andras as the new National Hereford Queen, and I’m thrilled for her and her family as they start this journey. I know that she will do a fabulous job representing and serving the breed we all love. After this year, there is no doubt in my mind that I have benefited tremendously from my year of service. I cannot express how important it is for fellow juniors, and adults, to find a way to serve the breed and to become involved in every opportunity our organization offers. I urge you to not be afraid to try something new because it will be worth your time. Whether it is running for national queen or the junior board or just helping fellow juniors with their cattle; it all makes such an impact on your life and those around you. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to serve the Hereford breed and cannot thank each and every one of you enough for this incredible journey. I hope to find another chance to continue my service in this organization with its outstanding breed of cattle and phenomenal group of people. In Hereford spirit, Amanda Bacon, 2011-12 National Hereford Queen

here’s something special about farm kids and their books. Being a mom of three, I guess you could say I have some experience on the topic. Nothing lights up the eyes of our 4-year-old son like being outside with the livestock. But, a good book about cattle, horses or tractors is a close second. Lately, our bedtime routine includes reading five — yes, five — reality-based livestock children’s books before lights out. These books are written by 8-year-old twins and Hereford breeders Rianna and Sheridan Chaney, Thurmont, Md., and South Dakota-based rancher and author Amanda Radke. Their books delve into the life of a rancher — the life cycle of animals, proper care and handling, the business of it all — with a twist to draw in children. And let’s face it: their parents enjoy them quite a bit, too. By incorporating the truths of the industry and using terminology relevant to today’s livestock producer, these authors are educating the next generation about the true modernday cattleman.

Rianna and Sheridan Chaney have been producing books from the time they were 3, with the help of their mother, Rebecca.

The idea for these books began with their mom, Rebecca. From the time the twins were born, the family Christmas letter was written from the girls’ perspective. “When the girls were 1 month old, the Christmas letters began continued on page 50...

Authors from the cradle Rianna and Sheridan Chaney could very well be the youngest agricultural authors around. At 8 years old, these third-graders have recently completed their fourth book chronicling life on the farm. Hereford.org

Amanda Radke, a fifth-generation South Dakota rancher and agricultural advocate, entered the world of children’s books last year with “Levi’s Lost Calf.”

down at the computer, and they were on either side of me. We started with the first page and decided what went on it. And we proceeded throughout the book.” Sheridan says her mom lets them write about most of their experiences — but not all. “I wanted to write about eating Rocky Mountain oysters at the Loos ranch, but mom said ‘no,’” Sheridan says with a smile. “But at least we get to make them and eat them at home, now.” Once the book is in manuscript form, Rebecca says, she sends it off to numerous industry professionals within the agricultural communications and cattle industries. “It’s important that we get it into the hands of industry professionals to ensure we’re on the right track with our books,” Rebecca says. “I’d say each book goes through about 20 rounds of edits before it’s considered ‘done.’” Radke’s process, although different, also is similar. In order to develop a children’s book, Radke first did her research. “I bought a lot of children’s books and discovered what made a good children’s book — alliteration, adjectives and powerful verbs,” she says. “I began writing in April 2010, and sent manuscripts to people I worked with, teachers and friends. In June 2011, probably 100 manuscripts later, the book was born.” Radke also enlisted the help of a college friend — Michelle Weber — for the illustrations for her book. “She had posted a painting on Facebook, and I asked if she’d be up for the challenge,” Radke says. “We embarked on the adventure together.” In order for the books to attain the success they’ve reached, promotion and distribution have been critical.

And the beef council has ordered 1,000 copies of each book to be distributed to every school in Pennsylvania. In addition, more than 40 cattle women Radke’s friend, Michelle Weber, provided the illustration for “Levi’s groups, beef councils Lost Calf.” Radke says Weber’s career has blossomed since the release of the book. and Farm Bureau associations have Radke says she’s not certain of ordered books by the box to distribute where her book-writing career will throughout their states. head next.

Spreading the word

What’s to come

The Chaney girls’ books have been distributed across the country, from Florida to North Dakota and from California to Pennsylvania. Rebecca says the Pennsylvania Beef Council has been instrumental in the development of lesson plans that accompany each book for the Agriculture in the Classroom initiative.

Today, Star has three daughters, which all were gifted to the girls by Betsy Randall, owner of Randall Land & Cattle, which Lee managed for years. These will serve as the foundation for the girls’ Hereford herd. As for future books, Rebecca says she and the girls are constantly brainstorming ideas.

Hereford.org

Writers being recognized

Each of the Chaneys’ four books and their accompanying lesson plans have been added to the Ag in the Classroom National Resource Directory. And, “Star Becomes a Mother,” was just selected as the Wyoming Ag Book of the year by the Wyoming Farm Bureau. That makes Rianna happy. “That’s my favorite book, because it’s another story about Star and Star started it all,” she says. What a start it was. And the future most definitely looks bright.

Speaking out Rianna says speaking up for the livestock industry and promoting our lifestyle is easy. You just need confidence. “Don’t be afraid,” she says. Radke agrees, saying her best advice is simply to be yourself. “The consumer wants to trust the American farmer and rancher, and they want to know where their food comes from,” she says. “The truth is on our side — that we produce a safe, wholesome product. I think by telling our story, we can show we have their best interest at heart.” By incorporating the truths of the industry through compelling and interesting stories, these authors are educating America’s youth about the true American farmers and ranchers. No greater tale could be told, indeed. HW

Friedens inducted into Iowa Hereford Hall of Fame Rich and Judy Frieden, Elgin, Iowa, were inducted into the Iowa Hereford Hall of Fame during the Iowa Hereford Breeders Association (IHBA) annual meeting Aug 25.

Dear Hereford Breeders, Welcome to the 107th National Western and the “Mile High Night” National Hereford Sale. The powerful showing of Herefords on the hill and in the yards has caught the attention of many cattlemen regardless of their breed loyalty. We are excited to announce the Mile High Night sale will be conducted on the stadium floor this year. Many remember the great Hereford sales in years past conducted on the National Western stadium floor. This will offer a bigger area to preview the cattle before the sale and plenty of seating for the Mile High Night sale. This year’s sale offering offers strong generations of genetics from the top Hereford operations in North America. The sale features a stout offering of bulls. A concerted effort has been set forth to offer a set of bulls that can headline many programs in addition to having a genetically superior bull walk the pasture after an AI program. Bulls from past Denver sales have made their impact in the Hereford industry. This offering has already done its share of winning in national sales this fall. If you are considering a top Hereford bull for your operation please take some time and review the bulls in this sale. They are a stellar set. The female offering has traditionally been top shelf, offering some of the best genetics to be found in the Hereford business. Again sale management has reached out to gather more outstanding females for the sale this year. The “Mile High Night” affair offers females from the top operations across the country. This sale will also feature pick of the herd, outstanding pregnancies, a superior selection of embryos and some outstanding pregnant recipients with breed leading genetics. This year the sale will be conducted after the yard show is completed on Friday afternoon. Sale management has the privilege of adding lots to the sale selected from all the Hereford entries that show or display in Denver. Combine this with the outstanding consignments in this sale catalog and the “Mile High Night” promises to be an event for all serious Hereford breeders. We want to thank Tennessee River Music for donating the foundation heifer—Lot 1 this year to the sale. All the proceeds will be donated to HYFA. This heifer will be located in the Kottkamp stalls on the hill, We also want to thank Bushy Park and T Bone Ranch for their gracious lot donations in this sale to HYFA as well. We would like to invite Hereford breeders from across North America to join us for this great Hereford evening. The sale starts at 6 p.m. (MST) and this year there will be plenty seats on the “Stadium Floor”. We look forward to seeing you in Denver. Feel free to contact us if we can answer any questions or provide additional information.

Sincerely, Eddie C. Sims and Joe Rickabaugh

Sis E44 334, was one of the most influential donors to ever walk at TRM. The first time I saw Sis was in the pasture as a weaned heifer calf at Highview Farms. She was purchased and brought to TRM and a lasting and wonderful friendship between myself and Leo Corley was born. When she had her first calf, I was visited by my friend, Eddie Sims, who was immediately drawn to the sight of Sis. He pulled his glasses down, looked at her, and said, “Where did she come from?” I said, “I bought her from Leo, why?” He replied, “Do you know where her mother is?” I said, “Yes, and I bought her too!” Eddie said, “That’s one fine female.” I have always had a lot of respect for Eddie and his family and boy was he right! Leo had raised one of the most amazing females that I have ever had the honor of owning. Sis is the dam of the 2-time Southeastern Show Heifer of the Year, TRM 334 Tho 0222, herd sires such as the Genex sire, TRM HV 334 Grand Finale 4008, and the Southeastern Show Bull of the year and herd sire, TRM HV 334 High Energy 3228, who is in the top 1% of the breed for weaning weight, yearling weight, milk and growth, fat, BMI$, BII$ and CHB$ and in the top 5% for ribeye area. To say that Sis has had a huge impact in our herd is an understatement. Sis’s daughter, TRM 334 4031 6104, made a true impression as well. 6104 is the great-grandam of the high-selling $40,000 donor, TRM Cowgirl 8066, sold at the Star Lake Cattle Ranch Dispersal this past October. The sad thing about this incredible story is that Sis and 6104 are deceased, but their influence will last forever. Our dear friends, Leo and Allene Corley, would be very proud to see their Hereford traditions carried on. • Whether it has been in the showring, in the donor pen or raising a calf, these cows work. And the significance that Lulu’s sire, CS Boomer 29F, has had on the Hereford breed is an enduring and powerful one. The opportunities are endless for this young heifer, Lulu, as she is built on a solid foundation of functional, eye-appealing cows that perform and can flat raise a calf!

• An exciting herd sire here and just what we are looking for in today’s industry. Right Track is moderate in his design, bold middle, big boned, soft made and extremely deep sided. When you get behind him, he is thick, carrying his thickness all the way down into his lower one-third. His dark red color sets him off with an exceptional look. With this look, Right Track has already been named the 2012 World Beef Expo Champion Bull as a calf and 2012 NAILE Calf Champion. • Right Track’s dam is one of the top producing cows at Perks Ranch and is on her way to becoming a Dam of Distinction with her consistency of raising two high performing calves. Her first calf had a WW ratio of 120 and Right Track has a WW ratio of 126. She will enter our transplant program this year after calving. Right Track’s sire, Bailout, needs no introduction as he has been one of the hottest and highest selling semen bulls these past few years. Bailout consistently produces top calves that are in demand. • Study his numbers as they are balanced across the board and rank above breed average in 9 of the 11 measurable traits. Right Track was born at a conservative 88 lb. and on Sept. 15, 2012, pushed the scales down to a whopping 89 lb. This bull is what the industry needs and represents the kind of bulls we are striving to produce here at Perks Ranch. So, if you want to get your herd on the RIGHT TRACK, here he is! • Selling ½ interest, ½ possession.

• We feel Who Maker is one of the most promising young breeding pieces to surface for some time. He is long necked and massive in his build. Big topped and wide hipped with lots of muscle shape and a deep sweeping belly. He is super sound and big footed. Not only is he amazing to look at, but his EPDs are in check. ECR Who Maker 210 ET has created quite a stir with Hereford enthusiasts who have seen him this summer on the cow and at the American Royal. He is backed by a beautifully uddered mother who combines maternal Line 1 and the power and look of Pure Gold. Whether you are looking to raise show heifers, herd bulls or great momma cows, Who Maker’s opportunities are endless. He will be a bull calf to contend in Denver and the bull that will out perform in the pasture. • Selling full possession and ½ semen interest (equal semen revenue with future partners).

• Here is your opportunity to purchase a guaranteed future cornerstone donor! Breeder after breeder this summer and fall have expressed their appreciation of the Git-R-Done daughters, “Best udder, heaviest milking and easiest keeping cattle we have ever owned,” are just the start of positive comments we have received. Add in the mainstay Josi cow family that originated in the Durham Ranch program from Stillwater, Oklahoma, and the table for success is set. Josi Jr 2040 sorts herself to the top of her contemporary group on merits of femininity, rib shape and documentation, ranking in the top 10% of the breed for WW, YW, M&G, CEM and CHB$ Index. A full sister to this outstanding prospect was the most talked about and top selling lot this fall in the On the Horizon sale, selling to Bar One Ranch and Ed and Caitlyn Hartzell. • Sells open.

Pick of 2013 NWSS Pen of heifers • We are offering your pick of our 2013 NWSS Pen of Heifers. On the farm this past year, we took a lot of chances and almost all paid off. The top four heifers this year include two flushmates of a 2-year-old shown at NWSS two years ago and a good investment bull from Cooper’s. We had a lot of hope for CL 1 Domino 0145X and we weren’t disappointed with three fancy females here. On the off chance that your first pick is not 0145X daughters, then we have 1201. She has a beautiful dark red color that makes her clean lines and nice hip pop. The 1201 heifer is a 5216 granddaughter sired by the top selling bull from our 2011 Bull Sale. For additional pictures, videos or information, contact Tom Heidt or check out the K7 Herefords page on Facebook.

Her sire, TH 403U 719T Victor 50X, was one of the top selling herd bulls from the Topp Herefords 2010 sale, going to Sparks-Drummond Ranch LLC in Alabama. Her dam is a maternal sister to MSU Titleist and is a daughter of the National Reserve Grand Champion Bull, Wallace. She possesses a very nice, balanced set of EPDs with a spread of BW 3.9 to a YW of 97. She should be a competitive female and become an excellent producing cow. • Sells open.

You are getting the pick of five heifer calves out of NJW BW Ladysport Dew 78P ET, the “Power Cow.” The first two heifers are sired by THM Durango 4037, making full sisters to the heifer that topped the NJW production sale in 2012 at $62,500. The final three heifers are sired by KJ HVH 33N Redeem 485T ET that recently had a granddaughter of the 78P cow top the Hoffman sale, bringing in $53,000 for one-half embryo interest. These five heifers will all be maternal sibs as well to Bailey Buck’s heifer that won banners at Junior National, the American Royal and the National Western. The 78P cow’s offspring have been dominating sales across the country, including the top selling bull, bringing $25,000 at the NJW production sale in 2010, along with the high selling bull commanding $40,000 at the 2011 Breeders Cup sale for Boyd Cattle. At the 2011 National Western sale a 78P daughter was also selected as the pick of the NJW herd for $22,000. This group of calves will be due the first part of March and you can make your selection by August. The 78P cow’s offspring have been creating more buzz in the breed than any other female. Do not miss this opportunity to get into the most recent and proven “Power Cow” genetics.

• 31Z is very feminine and has that extension and neck angle we like to see in great females. She is a no miss in the numbers game as she ranks in the top 1% for WW, 10% for YW, 15% for Milk and 5% for M&G in the Hereford breed. She is sound, red legged and very correct. Plus, by one of the most talked about young herd sires on the scene today, Mr Hereford, and out of one of our strongest cow families, we feel 31Z is the best we have ever consigned to the National Sale. This cow family has seen much success in past National sales as Priscilla, the dam of 31Z, sold for ½ interest for $9,000 in 2010. In the 2011 National sale a maternal brother to Priscilla sold for ½ interest for $8,500 and a maternal sister sold for $4,900. Priscilla, her full brother Currency and her maternal brother McClintock were all class and division winners at the National Western. All of these individuals trace back to the cornerstone of our embryo program who is the grandam of 31Z, CC CX Fortress Thunder 28R. We feel these ladies are doing what they are supposed to as they are out producing themselves in the next generation. The terms will be announced sale day.

• Harley is the matriarch for Bushy Park Farm and Tucker Cattle Company and her progeny are quickly becoming some of the most sought after genetics in the country. She was crowned the 2006 National Champion Female in Denver for Blake Tucker, just like her 2-time Denver National Champion sire, Remitall Online 122L. Her offspring are quickly becoming breed leaders and some of the most sought after genetics. Harley has produced several national and reserve national champions including: TCC Ms Shelby 82 ET who was the 2009 Junior National Hereford Expo Champion Bred-and-Owned and Champion Owned Female for Blake Tucker and 2010 Denver National Champion Female. TCC Miss Lexus 84 ET (Lexi) was Mitchell Tucker’s reserve champion horned female in the Denver Junior Show in 2010 out of Harley and SLDK Poseidon R09 ET. A granddaughter of Harley and a daughter of Shelby was named 2011 Junior National Hereford Expo Champion Bred-and-Owned and Reserve Champion Polled Female for Blake Tucker. These embryos are full sibs to the $62,000 high selling heifer in Bushy Park’s Tradition of Excellence sale this fall and sold to Becca Chamberlain in Indiana. Tank is quickly making his mark in the breed as well and sired the Reserve National Champion Bull, WORR OWEN Tankeray Y79D ET in Kansas City and Louisville this fall.

ince 1957, Pat Wilson has been breeding performance Herefords in Frostproof, Florida. We still continue his dedication to performance Victor Domino cattle here at Crooked Lake Ranch today. We have been an advertiser since 1982 along with many other performance breeders that have made up the Pro Performance page. We have seen times change as well as breeders change that have been committed to the performance guidelines. In light of times changing, we have decided to change our methods while still aggressively pursuing the advancement of our genetics. This will be our last ad as a member of the Pro Performance page. We have been blessed to be able to advertise with such an elite group of breeders and we will continue to support them in their endeavors. Come see us in Frostproof. We are still going strong.
