The Ripple Effect

/ December 2014

I remember the day my parents asked me if I wanted to show cattle. Even 8-year-old me could understand the cost and time commitment, or maybe it was them laying out the details of the effort I would need to put in — and not just in preparation for the showring. No, this wouldn’t be a seasonal affair. It meant going into the local bank with my parents and applying for a small agriculture loan with the one commercial cow my dad gave me when I was 2 years old and her progeny as collateral. With that loan and the help of my parents, I would head to Kansas and purchase a bred female who later that fall would have an October heifer calf. I named her Juliette, clever I know, and thus began my registered Shorthorn herd. That decision had a ripple effect on my life. Because of the livestock industry and being involved in a state and national junior breed association, 4-H and FFA, and along with some urging from my family, I was able to grow from a kid who could hardly talk to strangers to participating in speech contests and serving on officer teams. I chose to attend Kansas State University, where I didn’t know a soul, to study agricultural communications with a dream of working for a cattle breed association,

and I’ve had the opportunity to learn firsthand how livestock is raised in other countries, spending summers in Costa Rica and Sierra Leone. I’ve met people along the way who have selflessly given of their time to teach, mentor and provide me opportunities to grow and to learn. This all brought me to conclusion of my first weeks here at the American Hereford Association (AHA). The pride of the Hereford heritage and legacy is palatable, and the excitement over this breed is contagious. What an experience it was to join Hereford breeders in attending this year’s Annual Meeting and the American Royal National Hereford Show and seeing the packed house at the Ladies of the Royal sale. Maybe it was sitting in on the Annual Meeting and hearing the direction for the Association in 2015, reading up on the critical topics discussed at the Hereford Genetic Summit by industry experts, AHA leadership and Hereford breeders, or the current economic situation of the cattle industry, but I can’t help but think about the many decisions to be made on the horizon. Hereford breeders are making choices each day to improve genetics, implement technology tools, meet market demands and

continually improve the breed. I’m looking forward to sharing your story with fellow breeders, commercial cattlemen and the cattle industry. In this issue you will find a summary of the many Hereford events and activities that took place Oct. 31-Nov. 2 in Kansas City, Mo. We will be “continuing the conversation” from the Hereford Genetic Summit in upcoming issues of the Hereford World. The inaugural feature in this series focuses on the importance of taking care of your customer and providing added value to Hereford genetics. Be sure to make a stop at the special National Western Stock Show section. Thanks to each one who warmly welcomed me into the Hereford family. And for those who were unable to make it to Kansas City, I hope to meet you at the next show, sale or Hereford event. I would also like to thank the Hereford Publications Inc. staff, the AHA staff, the Board of Directors and AHA members for the opportunity to work for an industry that shaped me, and to do something I enjoy each day. It’s my hope that each time you receive the Hereford World you will find content that makes you proud to be a Hereford breeder and while you are flipping through the pages, learn a little something too.

AHA Committees Implement Strategic Plan The success or failure of any organization begins and ends with the professional relationship between elected board leaders and staff. High-quality organization governance and program execution is a result from a solid working relationship among leaders. The American Hereford Association (AHA) has been extremely blessed to have very sound business minds and industry people elected to the Board over the years to oversee the development and execution of a strategic plan, which has proven to pay dividends for the Hereford breed in recent years. AHA has a committee structure established with specific roles that address the strategic plan of the organization. The following is a breakdown of committee purpose and responsibilities as well as the current director appointments for those for 2015:

Executive committee The role of this committee is to make urgent decisions on behalf of the Board when it’s impossible for a Board quorum to be present. The executive committee rarely meets outside of the full Board and is principally responsible for communicating the performance review of the executive vice president and staff. 2015 appointments: Eric Walker, Morrison, Tenn., president; Sam Shaw, Caldwell, Idaho, vice president; Fred Larson,

/ December 2014

Spring Valley, Wis.; and David Trowbridge, Tabor, Iowa

Financial/audit committee This committee reviews the monthly consolidated financial status of the Association and oversees any questions or concerns regarding management of the budget, receivables, expenses, reserve fund management, the capital improvement budget, the plant and property, and risk management issues. 2015 appointments: Larson, co-chair; Trowbridge, co-chair; Terri Barber, Austin, Texas; Shaw; and Walker

Breed improvement committee The principal purpose of any seedstock organization is to generate accurate selection decision information for purposes of improving the breed across a menu of economic relevant traits and indexes. This committee oversees the PanAmerican Cattle Evaluation (PACE), genomic research projects, new economic trait development and industrywide research involving Hereford genetics. 2015 appointments: Larson, chairman; David Bielema, Grand Rapids, Mich.; Shaw; Kevin Schultz, Haviland, Kan.; and Bob Thompson, Rolla, Mo.

Marketing committee Marketing is a multifaceted discipline that incorporates programs and tactics to influence positive brand recognition, enhanced marketability

and positive perception for the Hereford breed and the AHA. A multitude of areas are overseen by this committee including national advertising, public relations, press relations, Association hospitality and breed imagery. 2015 appointments: Barber, chairman; Jonny Harris, Screven, Ga.; Jim Mickelson, Santa Rosa, Calif.; Schultz and Joe Van Newkirk, Oshkosh, Neb.

Member service committee The lifeblood of the AHA is the membership’s recording of registrations, the transfer of ownership, membership information and performance information through the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR®) program. The member service committee works with the records department and the information technology (IT) staff to assure excellent turnaround time and accuracy in the mass of information that makes its way through AHA’s business system on a daily basis. 2015 appointments: Shaw, chairman; Barber; Bielema; Curtis Curry, McAlester, Okla.; and Harris

Show and sale committee This committee is in charge of the selection of qualified evaluators submitted to judge AHA major show events including the National Western Stock Show, American Royal, Southwestern continued on page 10... Hereford.org

Compare and Improve Udder Quality with Two New Traits With the release of the spring 2015 Pan-American Cattle Evaluation (PACE), the American Hereford Association (AHA) will include two new traits for udder quality. The two traits will be seen in the list of traits as udder suspension (Uddr) and teat size (Teat) and will be released on the Web only, at first, and you will find them positioned right after maternal cow weight (MCW). This first release will be the trait by itself with no correlations to other traits, and there will not be a genomic impact with genomic enhanced-expected progeny

differences (GE-EPDs). We will plan to move forward with these additions in the near future. There were around 200,000 observations in the first evaluation, and the heritability for both Uddr and Teat will be about .34, which makes this trait fairly highly heritable, so genetic progress can be made rather quickly. See Figure 1 below that tracks progress over the past 30 years. As you know, we switched to a two-score system in 2008. See the “Udder Scoring Fact Sheet” posted in the Hereford.org Education Center and the January 2007 Hereford World

article “Scoring Momma” for more information. The correlation between the two scores and one is .72, so it makes all udder scores useful in this evaluation. This EPD can be used the same as other EPDs and will allow you to compare animals and, most importantly, has the potential to change udder quality between sire groups. Remember that it is important to continue to collect udder scores within 24 hours of calving — the closer to calving time, the better. It is also important to understand that there is no perfect score, but it is the ranking and the differences within the herd that are important. Remember that the scoring of 1-9 is used for both traits with 9 being more close to ideal. Please also understand that this scoring system is not concerned with milk flow or production; those will be measured with the weaning weight (WW) and milk and growth (M&G) EPDs. All we are looking at with this trait is the type of udder and teat. This is an important trait to analyze because commercial producers demand genetics that are problem-free. The loss of time, longevity and calf performance due to a poor quality udder cannot be tolerated. HW

December 2014 /

The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met in Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 30-31. The following are highlights of the meeting:

Breed improvement committee The AHA Board approved a six-month contract with genetics evaluation consulting firm Method Genetics, St. Joseph, Mo., to help commercialize the production of three new economically relevant traits including feed intake, heifer calving rate and sustained cow fertility. Adjustments including a base year of 1996 were approved for the release of udder expected progeny differences (EPDs) — both suspension and teat size — for the first commercial release in December 2014. See “Performance Matters,” Page 6, for more information. Marketing committee The Board approved the development of a ranch kit marketing packet that breeders can use for production sales and state events. The packets will be available to order online in February. A commercial feeder calf marketing plan involving video

auction support and an updated website listing program was approved for development. The new website, HerefordFeederCattle.com, will be activated Dec. 1.

Member service update A new electronic registration certificate storage system — MyHerd.org — was released in early October. A strategy for enticing more breeders to use the system is in development. Two new MyHerd products approved for development are a DNA kit ordering option and a spreadsheet system for managing performance data with MyHerd upload capabilities. The spreadsheet will be tested over the next few months. For more about MyHerd.org, see “Member Service” on Page 16.

Show and sale report The Board approved the qualified judges list for 2015. In addition, a

standard for EPD presentation in national sale catalogs was developed and approved. The Board also approved judges for the 2015 Junior National Hereford Expo.

Officers and appointments The Board elected the following officers and made the following appointments for 2015: President: Eric Walker, Morrison, Tenn. Vice president: Sam Shaw, Caldwell, Idaho Executive vice president: Craig Huffhines, AHA Treasurer: Leslie Mathews, AHA National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) representative: Curtis Curry, McAlester, Okla.

Attention National Western exhibitors: Updated animal ID requirements The state of Colorado has changed its animal identification requirements. This new rule will affect all cattle going to the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. This includes cattle showing or displayed in the Yards or on the Hill as well as those sold in the Mile High Night National Hereford Sale. The new Colorado rule states that as of March 2013, all cattle moving interstate for exhibition or show events, such as the NWSS, are required to have individual identification ear tags present in the ear. To avoid potential problems, all U.S. cattle entering the NWSS grounds will be expected to have a USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) official ID ear tag present in the ear. The following tags are considered official: 1) Orange metal official calfhood vaccinate (OCV/Bang’s) tag, 2) Silver metal USDA tag, 3) 840 RFID (radio frequency identification) tag, 4) Visual/panel 840 ear tag, or 5) An ear tag with the U.S. seal and “unlawful to remove” plus a unique animal number. Examples of these tags are available online at Hereford.org/NWSSinfo. Cattle that arrive at the NWSS without proper identification may have one placed at the discretion of the Colorado State Veterinarian’s office and at the owner’s expense. All NWSS animals must also have a negative BVD-P1 (persistently infected) test. For more information about NWSS health or identification requirements, contact the Colorado Department of Agriculture State Veterinarian’s office by calling 303-869-9130 or visit colorado.gov/ag/animals.

through online ordering. Information about the cards is available at Hereford.org/ChristmasCards. Christmas card orders will be accepted and shipped through BoelteHall through mid-December, subject to availability. A portion of the card sales will benefit HYFA.

MEMBER SERVICE

by Christy Bradshaw, AHA education coordinator cbradshaw@hereford.org

Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) reminders It’s that time of year again. Spring cow herd inventories will be generated witin the next month, and members should check their mail or MyHerd.org account for their spring 2015 inventory. If you were previously non-compliant in the TPR program, contact the American Hereford Association (AHA) to make sure an inventory is generated for your herd. Remember an updated inventory should reflect the females expected to calve in spring 2015. The inventory will automatically include breeding age females from the previous spring inventory and all reported additions to the herd. Replacement heifers will not appear on the inventory until they are at least 18 months of age. In order to process a calf’s registration and weaning performance data in the Whole Herd TPR program, the dam must be listed on the most current cow herd inventory.

Spring 2015 cow herd inventory discount deadline Turn in your spring herd inventory by Jan. 15 to receive a 25 cents per-head discount on every female maintained on the spring inventory.

New record service — electronic registration certificate storage MyHerd offers the convenience of electronic storage for registration certificates. It eliminates the paper shuffle and possible mailing errors, while increasing the ease and efficiency of registrations and transfers. Registration certificates are only stored for animals registered or transferred after enrolling your herd in the electronic registration certificate storage program. Hard copy registration certificates may be released from storage at any time, as long as the registration

/ December 2014

and transfer fees are paid. Email your member number to records@hereford.org to enroll your herd in electronic registration certificate storage.

2) Click the “Tools” icon in the top right hand corner. It looks like a gear.

Electronic certificate storage FAQ

4) Enter MyHerd.org and click “Add” to add MyHerd.org to the compatibility list.

Q: How does electronic certificate storage work? A: When a calf is registered and the registration fees are paid, the certificate is stored electronically instead of being printed and mailed. Q: What happens when an animal is transferred to me? A: If the seller requests “Cert to Buyer,” the certificate will be placed into the participating member’s electronic certificate storage. Q: Do we still need a hard copy registration certificate for shows? A: AHA national shows still require an original certificate. MyHerd makes it easy to release your show string’s certificates; they can be released at any time and will mail the next business day.

MyHerd help Q: When I log into my MyHerd.org account, my owned animal lists and Whole Herd TPR to-do lists are empty. What do I need to do? A: When you log into MyHerd.org and don’t have owned animals listed or data in your to-do lists, it’s because your Internet browser is not compatible. Please follow the browser recommendations below based on what type of computer you are using: 1. PC (Windows) — Please use Internet Explorer or Google Chrome

3) Click “Compatibility View Settings.”

b) Google Chrome — Please download and install Google Chrome and then log into MyHerd.org 2. Mac (Apple) — Please download and install Google Chrome and then log into MyHerd.org Q: I received an email about an artificial insemination (AI) certificate. How do I update my pending animals on MyHerd? 1. Log into MyHerd.org. 2. Click on the tab “Herd Details” and select the menu item “Pending Animals.” 3. Double click on the pending animal that needs an AI certificate. 4. Click “Update” on the record calf details screen. The system will pull the available AI certificate and place it on the animal’s record. 5. When the system pulls in the AI certificate, a warning message will post that the AI certificate will be used for out-of-herd use. Click “Override” to use the certificate and complete the registration. HW

A Huge HYFA Thank-You Over the past years, what Hereford breeders have done for the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) has been unbelievable. The generous donations from this family that we all call the Hereford breed keep rolling in to support our youth, and what a job you all have done. To date, HYFA has given back more than $385,000 in scholarships to Hereford youth to further their education. With the cattle industry breaking all-time records for sale prices, who thinks we can break some records of our own? Last year during the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) Mile High Night Sale in Denver, we saw just what our breed could really do. GKB 8144 Notice Me Too B19 ET, generously donated by Gary and Kathy Buchholz from Waxahachie, Texas, brought an astonishing

$125,000. We could not begin to be thankful enough for what the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) received that evening. To GKB for donating the female and to Colyer Herefords, Bruneau, Idaho; Bar One Ranch, Eugene, Ore.; Elm Tree Farm, Paris, Ky., and GKB Cattle Co., Waxahachie, Texas, for purchasing the outstanding female who has a bright future ahead of her, we juniors say thank you. This year, Churchill Cattle Co., Stuber Ranch and Iron Lake Ranch have stepped up and donated CCC SR ILR Foundation Lady 437B ET. She is a female that will come to compete not only in the ring but also with some of the top-quality females Churchill has ever raised. Now, most of us know the type of females that have come out of this operation over the years, and this heifer by NJW 98S R117 Ribeye 88X will not disappoint. The female is sired by one of the hottest bulls in the industry and is out of Churchill Lady 1162Y ET, who is a Golden Oak Outcross daughter. This is one you can take home and put into your own herd and watch what she can do. I was privileged enough to spend a few days in Montana this summer and visited Churchill. This female was the first one I saw when we drove through the gate.

Over the next hour or so Dale showed us around the place and all the sale cattle for this fall, but all I could keep thinking was how good this foundation female was. In fact, as soon as I got on the road, I called Amy Cowan to discuss with her how lucky we were to have this female represent HYFA and the NJHA as Lot 1 in the Mile High Night Sale in Denver. Keep this one in mind while attending the NWSS. At this time we would like to extend an early thank-you to Churchill Cattle Co., Manhattan, Mont.; Stuber Ranch, Bowman, N.D.; and Iron Lake Ranch, Athens, Texas, for their outstanding generosity to such a great organization and all the support they have given to HYFA and the NJHA over countless years. They are true leaders in this breed and great icons for all of us to look up to. We also would like to thank all of those who have donated to HYFA, whether it has been two weeks ago or two years ago. Every one of you has made this program the strongest and best junior breed association in the world. Thank you, everyone, for all of your generosity over the years and stay tuned for an amazing opportunity to own some of the best genetics in the country as the Lot 1 Foundation Female takes center stage at the Mile High Night Sale in Denver on Friday, Jan. 16, 2015.

Energy Continues for Legacy and Future of NHW Activity and excitement thrived throughout the National Hereford Women (NHW) annual meeting and events during the American Royal in Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 31-Nov. 2.

Preservation of the legacy Since 2009 NHW has worked to preserve the history of numerous women dedicated to the Hereford breed since the late 1960s. NHW is continuously looking to improve the support provided to the Hereford breed and youth through events, contests and scholarships. “The National Hereford Women, both past and present, are also wonderful examples of creating legacies of leadership, mentoring and purposeful encouragement of our Hereford youth,” says Susan Hayhurst, Terre Haute, Ind., NHW retired board member. “It is a privilege to be a part of such an industrious organization.” Retiring from the board was a group of phenomenal ladies who were dedicated in passing the knowledge and tradition of NHW to new board members, while executing a variety of committees and additional projects. Retiring directors who were recognized included Denise Billman, Newcomerstown,

Honoring the leadership NHW was proud to honor Kay Morgan of Taylor, Neb., as the 2014 National Hereford Woman of the Year. The nomination letter for Kay stated, “You can’t talk about Herefords in Nebraska for the past four decades without talking about Kay.” On a national level, Kay served as an integral part of the merger between the American Hereford Women and the Pollettes. She also led on the state level through a similar transition into the newly formed Nebraska Hereford Women, serving as a president. Over the past three decades, Kay has been secretary of the Nebraska Hereford Association and advisor for the Nebraska Junior Hereford Association, all while being an active part of the Morgan Ranch and a mother of four.

Focusing on the future The NHW board will continue to work through new ideas that engage Hereford breeders of all ages and to promote Hereford beef. During the weekend’s events, NHW hosted a Halloween party that gave Hereford youth of all ages the opportunity to participate in games, friendship and a little Halloween fun. The new event was deemed a success and is one the board will continue to improve. As the room filled with membership during the annual meeting, a sense of excitement was present. “Both the energy and excitement of our retiring, existing and new board members was contagious throughout the weekend and in response to our ventures from the previous and those for the new year ahead,” says Alise Nolan, Gilmer, Texas, 2014-15 NHW president. The first introduction of the new board

members included Rhonda Eck, Thomas, Okla.; Jill Folkman, Ixonia, Wis.; Kim Herinckx, Lafayette, Ore.; and Barbra Metch, Canton, Texas. The NHW annual membership meeting had strong attendance. Alise was excited to see the diversity in veteran and new members of the organization present. “I am continually impressed each time we meet as Hereford breeders and NHW members that we reconnect just as if we saw each other the day before,” Alise says. “This is one of the reasons NHW has been successful. I am looking forward to the new year with this group of women, as we are excited and ready to continue to enhance the visibility and programs that are supported by NHW, the American Hereford Association and the National Junior Hereford Association.” The 2013-14 National Hereford Queen, Brooke Jensen, gave her closing comments about her year representing the breed. Brooke lead the impressive lineup of 2015 National Hereford Queen candidates in their official introduction to NHW membership. “The coveted title of National Hereford Queen is one that is highly sought after. These girls work hard to get here,” says Carol Priefert, national queen chairwoman. On Nov. 2, prior to the selection of the 2014 American Royal National Hereford Show champion bull, Katie Nolles, Bassett, Neb., was named the 2014-15 National Hereford Queen. Carol says each candidate should be proud of their accomplishments. “The exceptional candidates that participated in this year’s contest are a testament to the NHW Queen Program and experiences these young ladies are having throughout our country representing the Hereford breed.” HW

2014 AHA Annual Meeting and American Royal Coverage

Celebrating the Hereford Advance Following a year of growth, Hereford members honor breeders and set plans for 2015 at the AHA Annual Meeting, Oct. 31-Nov. 2.

ereford members from across the country met in Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 31-Nov. 1 for a weekend of celebrating deserving breeders, hearing

from industry leaders, conducting American Hereford Association (AHA) business and attending Hereford activities at the American Royal.

Dale Venhuizen, Manhattan, Mont.; Mike Mitchem, Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC director of food service sales; and Dale Micheli, Ft. Bridger, Wyo., sat (l to r) on the panel to discuss “Understanding the Consumer.” Mitchem discussed with attendees what today’s consumer is looking for and “fresh” is at top of mind — something CHB can key in on. Micheli said quality is important to the consumer and breeders must make marbling a priority. As beef prices increase, Venhuizen said, consumers are choosing ground beef, and if they are going to pay more for the product, they expect a high-quality eating experience.

Leading the discussion on “Economic Drivers of the Beef Industry,” (l to r) were Jerry Huth, Oakfield, Wis.; David Trowbridge, Tabor, Iowa; Trey Befort, CHB LLC supply chain manager; and Douglas Olsen, Harrisburg, Neb. They focused on the importance of documenting Hereford as the feed efficiency experts and discussed the great opportunity in the next few years to make strides in carcass traits. Bob Harrell, Baker City, Ore.; Joe Van Newkirk, Oshkosh, Neb.; and Doug Gerber, Richmond, Ind., spoke on “Your Responsibility as a Seedstock Producer and the Value of Hereford Genetics in the Commercial Industry.” Gerber said “to hit a target in flight, you have to lead the target,” and seedstock producers need to be on the forefront of genetic improvement. Van Newkirk said the perception of Herefords has changed in the past eight to 10 years because progress has been made, but breeders need to tweak traits like marbling. Harrell said he defines profitable cattle as those that can do more things better than average across a handful of traits.

Annual Meeting

A crowd of nearly 200 attended the Friday afternoon educational forum, “Hereford Genetic Summit: Continuing the Conversation,” at the Kansas City Marriott Downtown. Four sets of panelists and attendees discussed pertinent industry issues —“Understanding the Consumer,” “Economic Drivers of the Beef Industry,” “Your responsibility as a Seedstock Producer and the Value of Hereford Genetics in the Commercial Industry” and “Our Current Course” — stemming from the Hereford Genetic Summit hosted in September.

Honoring legacies, recognizing youth Following the panel, members and guests enjoyed the Hereford Honorees Reception. During the event, Hall of Fame, Hall of Merit, Heritage Award, Century Breeder, Golden Breeder and scholarship winners were honored. During the reception, Roger Stuber of Stuber Ranch, Bowman, N.D., was inducted into the Hereford Hall of Fame. John Ascuaga, Carson City, Nev., was honored with the Hereford Hall of Merit Award (see Page 30). This past year, Rausch Herefords, Hoven, S.D., recorded its 10,000th

Pictured are AHA directors (l to r) Sam Shaw, Caldwell, Idaho, and Fred Larson, Spring Valley, Wis., discussing “Our Current Course.” Shaw and Larson shared with members four new expected progeny differences (EPDs) breeders can expect in the next year: udder quality, feed efficiency, sustained cow fertility and heifer calving rate, which, they said, help to encompass the overall picture of what the Hereford breed wants to be producing.

registration with the AHA. The Rausches were presented with the Heritage Award (see Page 32). In celebration of 100 years in the Hereford business, Franklin Nash & Family Herefords and Mike Deewall Family Herefords, Coldwater, Kan., were honored as a Century Hereford Breeder. A Golden Breeder award was presented to Doyle Hereford Ranch, Garland, Texas, in recognition of 50 years in the Hereford business (see Page 33). To conclude the awards ceremony, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) awarded more than $37,000 in scholarships to National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members (see Page 34).

Membership elects directors The Annual Membership Meeting began Saturday morning with delegates electing three new directors and the announcement of new officers. Elected to serve as AHA Directors for the next four years are Jim Mickelson, Santa Rosa, Calif.; Kevin Schultz, Haviland, Kan.; and Bob Thompson, Rolla, Mo. Leading AHA in 2015 will be Eric Walker, Morrison, Tenn., as president and Sam Shaw, Caldwell, Idaho, as vice president (see Page 28). In addition, AHA committee chairmen presented program updates to the membership. A PDF of the presentation slides summarizing the committee updates is available online at Hereford.org/AnnualMeeting.

NHW hosts meeting The National Hereford Women (NHW) hosted its annual meeting Saturday afternoon, where members elected new board members and announced NHW officers (see NHW board photo on Page 38). The highlight of the meeting was the recognition of the 2014 Hereford Woman of the Year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kay Morgan, Burwell, Neb. (see Page 38). For more on the NHW annual meeting, see Page 22.

2014 AHA Annual Meeting and American Royal Coverage

Walker Elected AHA President Eric Walker of Morrison, Tenn., was announced as the new president of the American Hereford Association (AHA) during the Annual Membership Meeting Nov. 1 in Kansas City, Mo. In 1981 Eric purchased his first registered Hereford, and now, 33 years later, he owns and manages a herd of 125 registered Hereford cows along with his wife, Rhonda; son, Cody; and stepson, Casey. “It will be a great honor and privilege to serve as AHA president,” Eric says. “We have a great team of board members and staff who go above and beyond to make this Association successful. We are all enjoying some great times in the cattle industry. The Hereford breed is positioned to move forward and hopefully take more market share with its ability to add heterosis and efficiency to a crossbreeding program. We as breeders must continue to keep producing only the best genetics that work in the environment they are selected for.” Eric’s farm has hosted 18 production sales since 1986, and Walker genetics have been sold in 37 states, as well as Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom. The Walker cow herd utilizes approximately 500 acres of his total 1,100-acre farming operation. The remaining 600 acres are used for the production of shade and ornamental trees and shrubs that supply products for Walker Nursery Co. Eric is the sole proprietor of Walker Nursery Co., and he sells and markets his products to the landscape and retail green industry, shipping to 35 different states. Eric says, as with most organizations, increasing membership is a top priority. “I would also like to see an upward trend in registrations and transfers, and we can never have too much data and performance statistics,” he adds. “I hope to see all the research and performance projects we have going on continue to provide information that will help breeders produce cattle that are needed in the beef industry.”

/ December 2014

Eric is a member of the Middle and East Tennessee Hereford Associations, as well as a member of the Tennessee and Warren County Cattlemen’s Associations. He has been a director and president of the Tennessee Polled Hereford Association. He is also a past president of the Tennessee Nursery and Landscape Association and currently serves as secretary for the Regional Planning Commission Board for the town of Morrison. “AHA has been blessed with outstanding leadership and I hope to continue that tradition to the best of my ability. The Hereford breed has been good to me and serving on the board is a way of giving back to the Association.” Selected to serve as the 2015 vice president was Sam Shaw, Caldwell, Idaho. Sam is a third generation Hereford breeder. The Shaw family owns and operates Shaw Cattle Co. and has been in the Hereford business for 68 years. The Shaws currently run more than 1,250 cows including registered Herefords, Angus and Red Angus. They host an annual production sale in the spring and market 500 bulls and females. They also sell bulls and females private treaty throughout the year. They have an extensive artificial insemination (AI) program. All females are synchronized once and then heat detected for a second cycle. They also collect feed intake data using the GrowSafe program. The entire crop of bulls from their fall calving herd is placed in the program. Sam and his wife, Janel, have three children. Completing their terms on the AHA Board were outgoing president Steve Lambert, Oroville, Calif.; Dale Venhuizen, Manhattan, Mont.; and Keith Fawcett, Ree Heights, S.D. Delegates elected three new directors during the membership meeting. Jim Mickelson, Santa Rosa, Calif.; Kevin Schultz, Haviland, Kan.; and Bob Thompson, Rolla, Mo., will serve fouryear terms on the 12-member Board. New AHA Board

Jim Mickelson California Hereford breeder Jim Mickelson and his family own and operate Sonoma Mountain Herefords, Santa Rosa. The Sonoma Mountain herd currently includes 175 head of registered Hereford cows. In 2003 Sonoma Mountain Herefords got its start with the purchase of the remainder of the Kunde Herefords herd, which dated back to the 1940s. Jim and his wife, Marcia, oversee the operation, while their son, Bobby, along with his wife, Heidi, is in charge of day-to-day activities and is the ranch’s herdsman. Jim and Marcia’s daughter, Jamie, is involved as well; she’s responsible for the show string. The Mickelson family shows cattle at local, regional and national shows including the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. Bulls are marketed each year as long yearlings or 2-year-olds in the ranch’s production sale, held in conjunction with Lambert Ranch for the past eight years. Recently the Mickelsons have begun marketing females to commercial and registered breeders. Sonoma Mountain Herefords has been a Gold Total Performance Record (TPR) Breeder for several years. In 2007 the operation was selected as the California Beef Cattle Improvement Association Seedstock Producer of the Year.

Kevin Schultz Kansas Hereford breeder Kevin Schultz, Haviland, Kan., manages his family’s Sandhill Farms, a seven-generation, diversified farming and cattle operation. Hereford cattle have been bred on their land since the mid-1900s. The farming operation consists of dryland and irrigated corn, soybeans and wheat. The cow herd includes about 300 cows. With the maturity of Conservation Reserve Program acres, the Schultz family is in an expansion phase. Through the use of embryo transfer (ET), approximately 200 of the calves are registered, and the balance will be purebred commercial. The commercial cows have been purebred Hereford since the mid-1940s. The family has fed out its steers at commercial feedlots for the past 15-20 years. Feedlot performance data, as well as individual carcass data, have been collected and tracked. In 2008 the family started a spring bull sale. In the sale all 5-year-old cows that are pregnant with heifer calves sell. The Schultz family also sells commercial open heifers and customer-owned black baldie heifers each year in the sale. Sandhill genetics have been part of the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) and the Circle A Ranch heterosis project. Kevin uses these programs to increase the accuracy and predictability of his bulls and to identify outliers that will help move the breed in the desired direction. Sandhill Farms is a Gold TPR Breeder; the family has been whole-herd reporting since the beginning of its registered cattle program. Kevin was a longtime member of the Kansas Polled Hereford Association, serving multiple terms on the board and as president. He is a current member of the Kansas Hereford Association. In 2004 he was AHA’s nominee to the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Young Cattlemen’s Conference. Sandhill Farms was honored with the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Seedstock Producer of the Year Award in 2010. Kevin and his wife, Vera, have three children — Brooke, Tyler and Courtney.

The farm was a registered Jersey dairy farm from 1926 until the mid1960s. Bob’s family has owned the land since 1903, and the Thompsons started their registered Hereford herd in 1974. They began performance testing through the University of Missouri livestock Extension service and the American Polled Hereford Association in 1976. The current Glengrove herd consists of approximately 50 cows and has been developed through the extensive use of AI and, in recent years, the use of ET. Their production goals center on producing diversified genetics that will meet the needs of their purebred and commercial customers and perform in their environment on fescue grass. The Thompsons market cattle through the Show-Me Hereford Classic sales in April and November. They also consign to the “Missouri Opportunity” state sale. In addition to the Hereford cattle, they own a corn and soybean row cropping operation in north Missouri near Princeton. Bob and Gretchen are also part owners in a small investment group that has recently broken ground on a new backgrounding feedlot to add value for local feeder calf producers. New AHA Board

2014 AHA Annual Meeting and American Royal Coverage

Rausch Herefords Presented Hereford Heritage Award Rausch Herefords, Hoven, S.D., was presented the American Hereford Association (AHA) Heritage Award for registering more than 10,000 head. Rausch Herefords is the fourth Hereford breeder to be recognized for reaching the 10,000 registrations milestone. The Rausch family received the award commemorating this unprecedented level of commitment to the Hereford breed at the AHA’s Honoree Reception Oct. 31 during the AHA Annual Meeting. Rausch Herefords’ headquarters is located near Hoven in north central South Dakota. Jerry and Vicki, Shannon and Sue, Vern and Sharon, and Joel Rausch operate the sale headquarters today, with plenty of help from their children and grandchildren. Harlan and Mary Rausch, Rick and Linda Rausch, and Gary and Twila Rausch operate separate ranches and provide additional animals to the headquarters for marketing. Rausch Herefords has topped the list for the most Dams of Distinction each year since 1980. To date, more than 600 Rausch cows have been named Dams of Distinction. To qualify as a Dam of Distinction, a female must produce a healthy, growthy calf every year; she should calve as a 2-year-old, and she should cause her owner absolutely no problems. A Dam of Distinction is the standard by which

all Hereford cows can be judged. The cow must do her job, but also her owner must manage the herd correctly to give her the opportunity to excel. Founded in 1946, Rausch Herefords was started when William and Alice Rausch helped their oldest children sell their 4-H sheep and purchase registered Hereford heifers. At that time it was called Wm. Rausch & Sons. In 1959 the family hosted its first annual bull and female sale. More than 200 bulls and 300 females are sold each year in the February sale at the ranch, plus the ranch has private treaty offerings throughout the year. Each year only the top-third of Rausch bull calves are is marketed. Those remaining are finished as steers, and carcass data is collected to track and improve ribeye and marbling expected progeny differences (EPDs). The Rausch breeding program annually utilizes more than 50 herd sires plus artificial insemination (AI) to constantly make genetic progress. The Rausches have been performance testing since the late 1950s, when portable scales became available, and have remained on the cutting edge in collecting data as more technology is developed. They were one of the first Hereford breeders in America

to utilize live Internet bidding in production sales. In 2007 Rausch Herefords was named the South Dakota Hereford Association Seedstock Producer of the Year. Each Rausch generation has been actively involved in Hereford association activities. William Rausch was inducted into the AHA Hall of Fame in 1986. Four of his sons — Duane, Harlan, Vern and Jerry — served on the South Dakota Hereford Association board. Three of his granddaughters — Cindy, Kay and Jodi — served as South Dakota Hereford Queen. Jerry and his wife, Vicki, served as South Dakota junior advisors. Vern served on the American Hereford Association board and in 2001 was elected the first president of Certified Hereford Beef LLC. Vern’s wife, Sharon, served on the former American Hereford Women board. Also involved in the South Dakota Hereford Women were Janice, Sharon and Vicki, who all served on the board as officers. Many of the grandchildren were officers in the South Dakota Junior Hereford Association and two of the grandchildren, Joel and Nick, served on the National Junior Hereford Association board. HW

Nash-Deewall Family Honored with Century Breeder Award In celebration of 100 years in the Hereford business, Franklin Nash & Family Herefords and Mike Deewall Family Herefords, Coldwater, Kan., were honored as a Century Hereford Breeder during the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting Oct. 31. Craig Huffhines, AHA executive vice president, presented the award to Jane Nash Deewall along with her husband, Mike Deewall; sister, Julie Nash; brother, Jeff Nash, and his wife, Sherry; daughter, Dr. Kelly Deewall Shupe, and her husband, Nathan; and son, Kent Deewall, and his wife, Mary, at the Hereford Honorees Reception. Jane’s grandfather, Walter C. Nash, purchased the operation’s first registered Hereford cattle in 1914. At that time the ranch was northwest of Canon City, Colo. Those cattle were of Gudgell & Simpson breeding. Walter and his son, Franklin, made key purchases in the 1930s of Dominant Mischief from W.N Balyney and Advance Domino 84 from Fred C. DeBerard. Today’s Deewall cattle still trace back to these two influential bulls. Franklin Nash, Jane’s father, was considered an expert in linebreeding. With the exception of his military service during WWII, he spent his life working to improve the herd. One large ranch in Saguache, Colo., purchased Nash Ranch bulls for 60 straight years. That family still buys bulls today from Jane and Mike. Jane and Mike attended Oklahoma

Eventually, all the Nash Herefords found their way to Kansas. Mike and Jane also run a commercial Hereford herd based

on his family’s cow herd genetics. Mike worked as the Comanche County Extension Agent for eight years but recently retired, and Jane works part-time for Stalcup Accounting in addition to operating Nash Originals LLC, a food gift box company.

Morgan Named Outstanding Woman of the Year

Kay Morgan, Burwell, Neb., was named the 2014 Hereford Woman of the Year. Pictured at the awards presentation (l to r) are: Lauren Echols, NHW Woman of the Year committee co-chair; Kay and Ronny Morgan; and Suzanne Matheny, NHW Woman of the Year committee co-chair.

ay Morgan, Burwell, Neb., was recognized as Hereford Woman of the Year during the National Hereford Women (NHW) annual meeting in Kansas City on Nov. 1. Each year the NHW recognizes and honors one woman for her achievements, leadership and dedication to and promotion of the Hereford breed. Kay has greatly affected the Hereford breed by her leadership and service through the Hereford Women of Nebraska (HWN) and NHW organizations. She contributed to the

successful merger of the American Hereford Women and the National Organization of Poll-ettes in 2009 and served on the NHW board during the transition. During this time, Kay was also HWN president. “Kay is passionate about the purpose of NHW and the Hereford Women of Nebraska,” says Vawn Hula, HWN president. “After being elected to the board of directors, I knew I could go to Kay with any question I had about the association, the breed or how to manage life as a ranch wife.”

Growing up on her family’s Hereford ranch near Waverly, Neb., Kay says she remembers always having an interest in the Hereford breed. She was on the Nebraska Junior Hereford Association board of directors and met her husband, Ronny Morgan, while showing Herefords at the state fair. While being a part of Morgan Ranch, they had four children — Carrie, John, Patrick and Roger — all who inherited her passion for Herefords and later came together to form Morgan Cattle Partners. Kay has spent her adult life giving back to the Hereford breed and has served as Nebraska Hereford Association secretary and Nebraska Junior Hereford Association advisor for nearly 30 years. Kay and the Morgan Ranch co-sponsor a belt buckle for the Nebraska Hereford Queen and have hosted numerous cattle shows, sales and other events. She is also involved in her community as an active member of United Methodist Women and volunteers time toward 4-H as a judge for cooking and crafts projects. The HWN concluded its recommendation letter by writing, “She is a role model to many and is unquestionably deserving of this award.” HW

Experience of a

Lifetime

etween a blingy tiara, a white outfit and red lipstick, there have been long days with miles upon miles walked, great Hereford cattle and lifelong memories. It’s been more than standing at the backdrop with a smile on my face — serving as National Hereford Queen has been the experience of a lifetime. Hello, my name is Brooke Jensen. I am the 19-year-old daughter of Kevin and Sheila Jensen of Courtland, Kan. Since I was 7 years old, I’ve carried on my parents’ tradition of showing Hereford cattle. My parents raised me along with my two brothers, Brady, 22, and Ben, 14, in a passionate environment of Hereford cattle and the beef industry. The American Hereford Association (AHA), the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and the Kansas Junior Hereford Association have been a very large part of my family’s life and have opened more doors to opportunities than imaginable. Working alongside my family and with a breed of cattle I am passionate about has been the best blessings in my life. I love what I do, inside the ring and out. Supportive is the only way to describe what my family has been over the last year. Allowing me to balance being National Hereford Queen and showing, my parents and brothers have helped in every way possible. I owe a lot of gratitude to numerous people for keeping me company near the ring, bringing me food and being there when my family was busy with our cattle. The Hereford family is like no other; I have been so unbelievably honored to represent the breed, to meet new juniors and to work with Association leaders. Everyone has been willing to give me a hand whenever possible whether it was getting picked up from the airport or handing out class ribbons, and I have really appreciated that help.

When I decided to run for Kansas Hereford Queen, I had a goal set in the back of my mind to run for national queen the next fall. Little did I know of all the friendships, the experiences and the character I would gain from being a part of the Hereford Queen program. Growing up, I always admired the pretty girl in white. She was poised, elegant and wore a kind smile at all times. I never dreamed I would become the queen all the little ones were looking up to. A year ago at the American Royal, a huge door of opportunity opened for me, and I’m so humbled to have lived out the experience. The role of the 2013-14 National Hereford Queen has been remarkable. Not many 19-year-old girls can say they’ve taken part in an interview for RFD-TV, stood multiple times in front of a crowd to speak, traveled across the country, worn a crown for a purpose and written articles for several magazines. I have been an ambassador, a role model and a representation of the breed that built me. I will remember this yearlong journey for the rest of my life. The people I have met, the history of Hereford cattle that I have been a part of and the amazing skills I have

Retiring National Hereford Queen

gained from this role have meant the world to me. Advocating for the livestock industry and Hereford cattle has been one of my favorite elements of the National Hereford Queen role. I ran into this duty most when I was traveling. When a person is carrying a leather crown box around and covered in Hereford cattle hair, she gets a lot of questions and funny looks. The security guards and folks sitting next to me on airplanes couldn’t help but ask. I truly enjoyed informing them of my reign and the breed of cattle and people I represent. I didn’t mind being called “The Queen of All Cows” by a flight attendant, because I know the information I shared with that lady will stick with her the rest of her life. I have put many miles on those white boots, and it’s hard to believe my reign as the 2013-14 National Hereford Queen has concluded. I have loved wearing my crown and white wardrobe while representing a breed of cattle I am passionate about. This role has made me a better person from all the incredible experiences I have had the opportunity to grasp. Next time you see me, I will gladly share my story about Hereford cattle and being National Hereford Queen. I highly recommend this program to all girls in the cattle industry. I look forward to my next leadership roles in the AHA and the NJHA, because the people in this industry and the cattle we are all passionate about make it worth being involved. National Herford Queen — an experience of a lifetime. Thank you, Brooke Jensen, 2013-14 National Hereford Queen

A Transformation to Royalty Katie Nolles was crowned National Hereford Queen during the American Royal. by Julie White

A fifth-generation Hereford breeder, Katie Nolles, Bassett, Neb., will spend the next year in her new roles as the face of the Hereford breed and an agriculture advocate setting a positive example for young women. “I will never forget being a little girl who researched the National Queen program and closely monitored the woman in white,” Katie says. “What an impact she made on my life. I plan to uphold the excitement that young ladies have by investing personally in each one whom I interact with and always showing that I am excited to be wherever this journey may take me.” Katie was crowned the 2014-15 National Hereford Queen prior to the selection of the champion Hereford t’s a common story — the bull during the 2014 American Royal Hereford breed and the countless National Hereford Show on Nov. 2 in opportunities made available Kansas City, Mo. raising and showing cattle positively Katie competed against nine other affect young people, their character and young women from across the U.S. for their work ethic, to name a few.

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 Bailey McKay, Marysville, Kan.; second runner-up was Jordan Spindle, Moriarty, N.M.; and Kagney Collins, Flanagan, Ill., was selected as Miss Congeniality.

Growing with Herefords Katie is the 17-year-old daughter of Mike and Trudy Nolles, who live on a Hereford ranch in the Nebraska Sandhills. Katie’s mother was a state Hereford queen, and her mother’s queen experience first piqued Katie’s interest in the role. “I was a pretty shy and quiet little girl until I started showing cattle,” Katie says. “And even then, since I didn’t start showing until I was 11, I felt I was behind the kids who were my age. So I would research and pull out old issues of the Hereford World to try to learn everything I could. I remember the day I found an article about a young lady who served as the national queen and on the national junior board and thinking that would be a pretty cool opportunity to serve the breed in both of those ways.”

National Hereford Queen

Hereford.org

When Katie attended her first Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in 2008, hosted in Kansas City, her mom signed her up for the mentor program. “Miss Kirbie Day from Texas was my mentor and that year she went on to be crowned the National Polled Hereford Queen,” Katie says. “That gave me the inspiration and drive to see that there are so many opportunities available to me within this breed. And it really pushed me to get out there and serve others.” Katie says as she progressed through the ranks of the junior Hereford association, she made friends who became like family and gained the confidence that allowed her to pursue the queen program. “The support has been just unbelievable,” she explains. “Growing up, I cannot believe the transformation this has caused me in the amount of time since I have been showing.”

An ambassador for the breed Looking toward the upcoming year, Katie takes on being an ambassador for the breed with pride and looks forward to working with breeders and promoting Herefords to commercial cattlemen. “It’s important for people to recognize our breed for not only its docility and excellent maternal traits, but also for performance,” she says. “Several studies have proven Hereford genetics are powerful. The Hereford breed is the total package.” In addition to representing breeders, Katie says as National Hereford Queen, she is a role model to young girls and hopes to always be poised and genuinely kind. “I would encourage all young ladies who are interested in becoming a state queen or the National Hereford Queen to look into their state associations and see if they offer a princess program, sweetheart program or some other way to be involved with royalty at a young age to help them get their feet wet and learn about the whole process,” Katie says. “Take as many chances as you can to get out and meet the breeders who you will one day be representing.” Hereford.org

All proceeds will go to the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) “Growing a Lasting Legacy” campaign to ensure the sustainability of future Junior National Hereford Expos and leadership events for generations to come. “Foundation Lady embodies everything the Hereford breed is about,” says Brady Jensen, National Junior Hereford Association chairman. “She is ultra-maternal, great-structured and has a hard-to-find combination of an elite balanced look and power. This female has the pedigree and phenotype that can make a major impact.”

She is a Jan. 2014 daughter of the popular bull NJW 98S R117 Ribeye 88X ET and out of the phenomenal dam Churchill Lady 1162Y ET by Golden Oak Outcross 18U. “This unique female, truly from the heart of the breeders’ programs, possesses the most sought after genetics and phenotype in the highly competitive Hereford business,” says Ray Ramsey, HYFA president. “The funds generated from this, and other donations, will help insure that our ultra-successful junior programs will continue and flourish, complementing the total Hereford industry. On behalf of HYFA, I’d like to thank Churchill Cattle Co., Stuber Ranch and Iron Lake Ranch for their generosity.” Judging the National Hereford Show on the Hill will be Troy Thomas, Harold, S.D., and Brian Barragree, Absarokee, Mont. Pen and carload show judges are Bill Goehring, Libertyville, Iowa; Ronny Morgan, Burwell, Neb.; and Paul Bennett, Red House, Va. Hereford events conclude Saturday morning with the National Hereford Female Show in Stadium Arena on the Hill at 8 a.m. For those unable to attend the NWSS, you can find Hereford show results online at Hereford.org.

Plan to visit the Hereford General Store and Lounge Stop in to mingle with Hereford breeders and take some time to shop the latest Hereford apparel and goods at the Hereford General Store and Lounge this year at the NWSS. Sponsored by Hereford breeders, the General Store and Lounge will be on the second floor of the Exchange Building and open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 14, through Friday, Jan. 16,. A big thank you goes to the breeders who help sponsor this gathering place. For information or to inquire about sponsorship, contact Amy Cowan at acowan@hereford.org or 816-842-3757. HW

Dear Hereford Breeders, Welcome to the 109th 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. Last year, the talk of Denver was the million dollar “Mile High Night National Hereford Sale” conducted on the stadium floor. It was a spectacle to behold. The cover of this year’s Denver Hereford sale catalog captures a view of last year’s record setting event. The Mile High Night Sale offers a superior selection 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 again this year 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. 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 elite, 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 great flushes 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 Churchill Cattle Co., Iron Lake Ranch and Stuber Ranch for donating the foundation heifer — Lot 1 this year to the sale. This power female has the genetics to be a leading donor for many Hereford operations. She is one cool female. I want to personally thank National Cattle Services, Eddie and Ruth Sims and the late Stanley Stout for making this sale into a premier event in Denver. Their hard work and determination took a mediocre sale in 2003 to a million dollar sale in 2014. The American Hereford Association takes over the reins of the sale management for the 2015 Mile High Night National Hereford sale and we have a great foundation to work from due to National Cattle Services. Thanks Eddie, Ruth and Stanley. By all means many thanks go to the consignors to the 2015 Mile High Sale. They are bringing the good ones to the 2015 National Western in Denver. 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) with plenty seats on the Stadium Floor. We look forward to seeing you in Denver. If you can’t make it to Denver, the sale will be broadcast on LiveAuctions.tv. Feel free to contact us if we can answer any questions or provide additional information. Sincerely, American Hereford Association Joe Rickabaugh

She was bred and designed to be the best from a breed elite dam and a cow family that has produced Denver champions, herd sires and sale toppers. She has the ability to help ratchet our breed higher. She truly is a Foundation Lady!

CHOICE • Selling choice in two stout full brothers. • These two bulls are part of one of the most exciting flushes conducted at Perks Ranch, as there are three more full brothers and one sister.

The heifer has already sold in our Fall Celebration Sale to CATO Cattle Co. for $15,000. We feel you will agree that it’s hard to make cattle any stouter than these! • Their sire, Currency, is the bull we chose to add the Sooner line in our herd as we love their look and udder quality. Their dam, Ramona, is one of the top, young, powerful Bailout daughters in the breed. While these two bulls bring different things to the table, they are also the type that you can build a program around with their balance in numbers, the pedigree behind them and the performance they possess. Easy Money is moderate, huge hipped and big topped with a lot of bone, and has already been named the 2014 Illinois State Fair Reserve Champion Horned Bull in August at 7 months old. Romeo is the late bloomer and keeps getting better every day. He has a little more gas and extension, but still possesses that overall stoutness in a smooth package. These bulls will be entered both ways and a last minute decision will be made if they show “On the Hill” or “In the Yards.” • Be sure to find these bulls in Denver… they will be worth your walk! We look forward to working with new partners on promoting the future of these exciting young bulls. • Selling ½ interest, ½ possession. Possession may be updated sale night. Contact Tom or Tammy for semen package inquiries.

• This mating offers performance for the ages. Catapult blends muscle structure, power and maternal strengths with a performance set of data that puts him in the top 1% of the breed for WW, YW, and CHB$ Index while maintaining a low birth weight that is in the top 2%. In the 2014 Mile High Night a Catapult son sold for $75,000. Combine this with the added strengths of U201, who herself is in the top 1% of the breed for nine of the breed’s measurable traits. She is the mother of Knoll Crest herd sire, X51, who is the number three sire in the breed for CHB$ Index. She has been a solid producer for both Iron Lake Ranch and Knoll Crest Farms. The progeny from this mating will offer many traits that the Hereford breed needs and what cattlemen of all walks desire: a huge spread from birth weight to yearling weight and big carcass numbers that put you at the top of the breed for CHB$ Index, all in an eye appealing, structurally correct package with plenty of muscle. • Co-consigned with Knoll Crest Farm, Red House, Va.

• This mating is sure to be a Home Run. Sired by the current Denver Supreme Champion Hereford and record setting C Miles McKee 2103 ET, who recently sired five heifer calves that sold in the Colyer Herefords Fall Female Sale for an average of $35,800. His flawless eye appeal and structural correctness are what the foundation of the Iron Lake program is built on. The dam of these embryos is the Holden herd bull producer HH Miss Advance 6155S, who was the high selling female in the 2013 Holden Herefords Production Sale at $95,000. She is a full sister to the ever-popular herd bull 8050U and in her own right has produced 11 bulls that have sold in the Holden sale for an average of over $32,000. Her natural heifer calf in 2013 sold in the Holden Fall Female Sale and commanded a price of $20,000. She is a big, powerful female that is very maternal and has a perfect udder. This combination of two of the Hereford breed’s greats will produce cattle that will take you to the next level.

• Quite possibly one of the most explosive bull calves we’ve ever raised. CH Mad Man 409 has been a standout since birth. Being a natural calf raised by his own mother, he is an outstanding individual. His sire has done great things on our ranch and has has been the most consistent sire we have ever used. The mother is a very deep-bodied cow with a very good profile and a good udder. CH Mad Man 409 is only her second calf, so we anticipate great things from this young cow. Mad Man has legendary sires stacked throughout his pedigree and the dams are the some of the most influential cows in the Hereford breed. Mad Man’s actual 205-day WW was 865 lb. Being raised by his own mother, we feel this is outstanding. • Selling ½ interest, full possession

• Full Throttle is without question the most popular individual that the Hoffman Ranch has ever been involved in. People of all different avenues in the breed have either used him or tried to use him. Many consider him to be a breed changer but rest assured, he is no accident! His dam has been as highly recognized as any Hereford female in recent times. His full and half-sisters have been dominant in the showring, however, even with their victories their strong suit has been their sheer capacity, brood cow build and extra attractiveness. Full Throttle has been used heavier than any other yearling bull in Hoffman Ranch history. • Selling 1/3 interest and no possession until spring 2016.

The next day, Trent’s heifer was named Reserve Grand Champion. Those two heifers sold for $67,000 and $20,000 respectively. Trent Ray’s Strawberry Wine female was named Reserve Grand Female last year in Denver and her full brother, H/TRS/CHEZ Full Throttle, was named Reserve Champion Spring Polled Calf Champion. Look for him this year in Denver! This past summer, Cassidy Hanson’s Chardonnay heifer took the JNHE by storm and was named Grand Champion Horned Female. You are buying consistent, producing genetics that are productive and have eye appeal for special occasions. Her progeny have commanded over $400,000 in sales!

• Although he’s made a big impact on the breed already, I still don’t think we’ve realized how important a roll he could play in the future of the Hereford industry yet as some of the great herd sires have in the past. Sensation has blown me away with what he’s done for us in our little cow herd and we’ve used some good ones. From producing herd bulls to top range bulls to show heifers to incredible heifers in production, they are hard to fault. And the most impressive thing about them is, they never stop getting better. Sure Shot is cut from the same cloth. He may even be a thicker, deeper version of Sensation himself and arguably, he may be one of his very best sons. His dam is, no doubt, the very best cow that ever walked on our ranch. She is a “never miss” cow. Come by our stalls in Denver and let us show you this phenomenal young herd sire. • Possession will be announced prior to the sale.

• 4108 was on her way to being a sale feature in our production sale, but being just a June, we decided to give her a little more time and we are glad we did. This female is big time, she will speak for herself! She is everything we like to see in a complete heifer package. She has lots of muscle, rib shape and depth, she is big boned and sound footed. She combines all of this with a pretty front end and a stunning look about her. Her dam, “Flirtatious”, needs no introduction. She has made her mark in the showring and in the donor pen. She puts her mark on every calf that hits the ground and 4108 is no exception. Her sire, 88X, is leading the industry and is making his mark as well. There is no guesswork here. We are offering a very special one and she is just a June. You will see lots to come from this young female. Without a doubt, she will take you to the backdrop and then go home to make a first-class donor. • Selling ½ interest. Please call for further details.

If her pedigree isn’t enough to make you raise your hand, wait until you lay eyes on her! She is about as pretty as they come with plenty of rib, bone and extension through her front end. Roxy Rose comes from a very hard working first calf heifer that we think will have a big impact on our herd in the coming years. Her dam had an incredible show career herself, winning the 2012 and 2013 North Dakota State Fair Reserve Champion Female, Kidder County Jackpot Reserve Supreme and a class winner at the Minnesota Beef Expo. Roxy Rose will follow in her momma’s footsteps. Put a show halter on her and you will have a lot of fun come nest summer! Stop by our pen and take a look for yourself.

• Here is a chance to own in her entirety an own daughter out of the famed prolific T90 female. We chose this particular heifer as she represents what a functional, sound breeding piece should be. Breeding possibilities seem endless with this female and coupled with her near flawless phenotype, we see no reason why this future donor will not be a standout in whatever program she will land. Take time to visit our stalls and take notice of all the offspring we have here that represent this great cow family.

BRED HEIFER PICK

• Here is your opportunity to pick one right out of our show string. These two females are a result of the very best two heifers that came out of our first embryo born calf crop. They have both been well received at every show they have gone to and the outcome as to which one will do better has always been up for discussion. The good thing about showing here in Denver is they each get to show in their respective classes with one being polled and the other horned. We are extremely proud of these two outstanding females and it goes to show once again the power in the blood of the great T90. • Selling ½ interest. Seller retains possession and show rights. • Pregnancy status of heifers announced at Denver.

• This is one of the most exciting matings we have ever offered. This one has purple running through her veins! The Keepsake cow has not only won the Nationals, but is now producing high sellers and breed changing herd sires across the country. Excel 8051 has made his mark producing heifers, steers and bulls that are working in all facets of the cattle industry. She is as cool fronted as you can make one with a huge hip and hind leg. She possesses the kind of rib and structural soundness the Hereford breed is striving for. She is due to calve to CRR About Time on April 5, 2015… the opportunities are endless. If you like making money and want a female ready to walk in the donor pen, come see us in Denver. She will be displayed in Show Time Cattle Company’s stalls.

• 4019 is the most fault-free bull we have ever raised with a pedigree built around, arguably, some of the best cows in the breed: three Dams of Distinction dam 634, grandam 410 and grandam 298 which are all impact donors at Harrell Herefords. In my opinion, Hutton 109Z’s dam, NJW P606 72N Daydream 73S, is the best cow in the Hereford breed, raising the last three national champion polled bulls. On the topside of his pedigree you will find proven Sires of Distinction such as grandsire 552, grandsire 9213 and grandsire P606. Positive Influence is a bull that will put pressure on birth weight without sacrificing performance, conformation and structure. We see him as the next great horned heifer bull. Positive Influence is without question a foundation herd bull.

Dedication to Hereford breeder Phillip Moon combines lessons from football, law and cattle to produce practical cattle for a practical world. by Bridget Beran

or Phillip Moon, “simple beginnings” is an understatement. Growing up on a small farm in northwest Bergman, Ark., Phillip found himself enchanted by Hereford cattle. He says he remembers his family’s first horned Hereford bull, one his parents owned when he was about 4. Though he laughs because that bull was struck by lightning and died shortly after, it made a lasting effect on him. Though his parents ran a small commercial herd, his uncle ran Hereford cattle and gave Phillip several of his old Hereford Journals when Phillip expressed an interest in the breed. At the age of 9, Phillip pleaded with his mother to get a subscription so he could learn more about Herefords. “I remember coming home from baseball practice and the first Herd Bull book had come in the mail and I read it cover to cover,” Phillip says. “I still have that old 1970 issue and it’s tattered all to heck but it’s special to me.” Dedicated to learning about the breed, Phillip credits Joe and Henry Hamilton, Hereford breeders and good friends of his family, for educating and encouraging him in his involvement in Herefords. Although there were some distractions along the way, Phillip’s passion in life has always been raising Hereford cattle.

Lisa says one of the most important parts of their relationship is the respect they have for one another. They are a team and Phillip takes her thoughts and opinions into consideration when they make ranch decisions.

Football lessons During high school, football found him and led his life in a different direction. Phillip says Bill Smith, a high school coach, believed in him and pushed him to be a better player. A belief that paid off when he was recruited to play for the University of Arkansas (1977-1980) under legendary coach Lou Holtz. “My family couldn’t have afforded to send me to college and I wouldn’t have let them pay for me to go. So that scholarship was everything to me,” Phillip says. Through hard work and a dedication to details, Phillip went from a kid from small Harrison High School, who had never even been on a plane, to playing in the Orange Bowl and being a threeyear-starter. Still Phillip doesn’t take any credit, saying he is just fortunate for the opportunities provided for him and for the people who believed in him. Then Arkansas assistant coach Larry Beightol, who went on to be an offensive line coach for eight different professional football teams over a 20-year career in the NFL, made a lasting impression on Phillip, and Phillip says he stills sees lessons he learned from Larry in his lifestyle today. “Coach Beightol taught me how important it was to be methodical

Phillip says his No. 1 goal every day is to be better than he was the day before and to overcome his own mistakes.

and detail-oriented,” Phillip says. “I was surrounded by and had the opportunity to study so many tremendous individuals who instilled the importance of details and having pride in what you did.” While “Holtz-isms” and “Beightol-isms” find their way into his vocabulary, Phillip is proud of the people from whom he was able to learn. He stood by his humble beginnings, and when he lettered the third year and the university offered him a gift for his accomplishments, he asked for luggage because, well, he didn’t have any — luggage he still owns, 30 years later.

Breeding Canadian horned Herefords since 1987, Phillip says he is raising practical cattle for a practical world.

However, during his time at college, he never forgot about Hereford cattle. His mother would bring him copies of the Hereford Journal whenever she came to watch his football games, and after a while, his parents transferred the subscription to him so he could read it on the bus or plane to away games or after practice.

Law school After graduation, his life focus shifted again, this time to law. Joe Hamilton strongly encouraged him to attend law school, and with the guidance of the Hamilton brothers, he had the opportunity to work under E.J. Ball, who now has a building named after him at the University of Arkansas. While he now practices law, Phillip says he’s a cattleman first. Many of the lessons he learned from law school and years of football translate into his cattle operation today. Due to his law practice obligations, planning ahead is vital at Moon Herefords. However, Phillip says that he gets things done the same way he did when he was a kid. “When I was in school, I got up and did chores before school and again once I got back from practice. Now I do chores before work and after I get back from the Hereford.org

office,” Phillip explains. “That’s how I grew up. You didn’t have to choose one thing or the other. You could do two things, it just takes more planning.” Phillip says that his calendar is planned out as far ahead as possible, and as soon as he learns when a Hereford event, like the Annual Meeting or the National Western Stock Show, is scheduled, he makes it a point to block time off. “Whenever I have to be gone from court, they know it’s always for a Hereford event,” Phillip laughs. “A lot of people think I’m nuts but I believe in my Hereford cattle. It was something I’d always wanted to stay involved in. Not just cattle but horned Herefords.”

Team effort While his law hours lead to his winter cattle work being done primarily by headlights, he’s got a pretty good hand to help him out. From castrating to dehorning, there’s one helper who’s been by his side for the past 16 years — his wife, Lisa Sparrow. She’s a military kid, but after her father retired, her family moved back near her uncle’s ranch. Lisa grew up showing dairy cattle, rabbits, goats and any other animal she could get her hands on. She says she always had an interest in beef cattle, and when she and Phillip first met, after he’d been hauling bales all day, she surprised him by asking questions about his cattle and his operation. With a marriage centered on agriculture and Hereford cattle, their first date included a visit to the pasture so she could see his Hereford herd. “Phillip has a way of presenting something to you when he gets excited that is effervescent,” Lisa explains. “I wanted to be a part of it because he was so enthusiastic about it.” Though her sons, Andy and Julian, put Phillip through the ringer, they say he absolutely earned his place, and they can’t imagine a better man for their Hereford.org

mother. Learning how to work on a farm also prepared them for their futures as members of the U.S. Army Special Forces. Julian laughs that after growing up on a farm, he found Ranger school was easy by comparison. Now that Lisa’s boys are grown with families of their own, it’s just Phillip and Lisa, working as a team to run their 75-head operation. “There’s a great sense of togetherness that comes from it just being the two of us working cattle side-by-side,” Lisa says. With Phillip’s encouragement, Lisa served on the former American Hereford Women (AHW) board of directors. Serving with women who became some of her best friends, Lisa says it was important to her and her fellow board members to promote Herefords and to strive to see a white face on every calf in the pasture. “I enjoyed that organization more than I’ve enjoyed any other group that I’ve been in. We could really see through the product of our passions and commitments,” Lisa says. Though she says she’s Phillip’s “sidekick” on the ranch and laughs that she gets paid in compliments, Lisa now owns a couple of her own cows in their herd, and she and Phillip fiercely defend her independence and her own development in the breed. “I told her from day one that I didn’t want her to be dependent on me,” Phillip says. “I believe in strong women. My mother and my grandmother were strong all on their own and she didn’t need me any more than they needed anyone. I was there to back her up and to support her but she can do anything all by herself.”

Focus on family, Herefords Though Lisa’s sons are both accomplished soldiers with doubledigit deployments, Lisa says what she’s most proud of is what good fathers they are — something she says they learned from Phillip. “I think boys need a good example of how to be good fathers

Though Lisa has a deep passion for Hereford cattle, she also loves horses and owns two so her grandchildren can ride when they visit.

and husbands. He helped show them how to treat their wives, with the utmost respect and love,” Lisa says. “Phillip showed me I had worth, not only in his eyes, but through mine. Every woman deserves to be looked at the way he looks at me.” While they moved back to Phillip’s grandmother’s ranch and home, they’re making their own mark on Bergman. They’re in the process of finishing an overhaul to expand his grandmother’s small farmhouse so it has room for times when their grandchildren visit, and Phillip has taken a different direction with the cattle as well. Breeding Canadian horned Herefords since 1987, Phillip says it was important to him that his herd stand out from those of the polled or Line 1 breeders located in their area. Introduced to the bloodlines by the Hamilton brothers, coupled with many years of learning about the breed, Phillip knew that Canadian horned Herefords were the way to go for him. “I liked the cattle and I needed to be competitive in a different way,” Phillip explains. “I always had a goal to have a strong, productive continued on page 104...

herd of useful Hereford cows and I’ve always believed in them. I’m raising practical cattle for a practical world. So I kept studying the breed to figure out what was going to work best for me and my operation. I don’t think I can ever know enough and the cattle business changes so rapidly so I’m always trying to learn.” For Phillip many of these lessons are learned by meeting and talking with other cattlemen and learning the opinions and directions from

opposing sides. No matter the breed, he knows that there are takeaways from any producer, breeder or researcher. If he can promote the benefits of Herefords, then that’s an added bonus. “I think it’s important to go hear things you don’t agree with so you understand what those people’s point of view is,” Phillip explains. “I’m always trying to promote Herefords. When people start talking cattle, I start talking up Herefords.”

Industry leaders Phillip also tries to pass along those lessons to agriculture enthusiasts and to serve the agriculture industry. For the past 15 years, Phillip or Lisa has served on the board of directors for their county cattlemen’s association, with Phillip serving four terms as president. Also a former president of the Arkansas Hereford Association, Phillip knows from his own experience with the

Hamilton brothers how a little encouragement can go a long way in a young person’s life. Phillip and Lisa are dedicated supporters of their local FFA chapter. After a lightning storm killed the chapter’s cow herd, Phillip donated a cow-calf pair, as well as lending the chapter members a bull, to get the group back on its feet. When the market sale comes each year, he makes a point to talk with the ag teacher to find out which child needs the most help and encouragement in agriculture. “We do it because we see kids who have a potential or a need to be involved in agriculture,” Lisa says. Phillip says their involvement is always centered on people who really need a hand up and have a passion for the agriculture industry. This cause is close to the heart of Phillip, who says he wouldn’t be the cattleman, lawyer or man he is without the positive influences he had throughout his life. “I’ve been so fortunate for all the people who have believed in me,” Phillip says.

The June 2014 issue of National Geographic honored military working dogs that put their lives on the line to protect soldiers. Lisa’s son Julian, an Airborne Ranger, trains dogs for war. Prior to training dogs, Julian was a dog handler in combat. After Julian’s dog Layka was injured in combat, losing her leg, Julian worked to adopt her and to bring her home so she could have a full life. National Geographic chose to feature Layka on its cover. “We all felt very honored that National Geographic chose to honor the military dogs because they do the job that nobody else wants to do. And they do it for a red ball and a treat,” Lisa says. Julian’s first dog, Benno, saved countless lives, including Julian’s, and is now featured in the painting “Into the Breach” for the 75th Ranger Regiment. Though Benno lost his life protecting Julian and his team, Julian says he has never encountered another dog quite like Benno.

Julian’s work has led him to train more than 35 dogs for combat, and he says he’s just happy they are getting the recognition they deserve. Although Layka is the first dog to receive an official military award since World War II, Julian says that dogs don’t care about awards. After his experience adopting Layka, who has gone from a military weapon to a beloved family pet, he hopes more dogs will get to be retired eventually, preferably back into a home with their handlers. While these dogs, due to their extensive training, can’t be handed over to just anyone after returning from war, Julian says he thinks it’s important that military working dogs have a chance at a normal, happy life after their service is done. For Layka, Lisa says, though she’s fun to be around and perfectly gentle with Julian’s 3-year-old, it is important to remember that she’s still a weapon that’s always loaded. Since her return from war, Layka has become a dedicated protector and family member, a decorated veteran, and, now, a cover girl. “All the military working dogs are special, but Layka’s our cover girl,” Lisa says.

Continuing the Conversation During the Hereford Genetic Summit Sept. 4-5, 2014, Hereford breeders were challenged to embrace technology, focus on the customer, and concentrate on feed efficiency and end product merit to help position the breed to gain more commercial market share. We will “continue the conversation” in upcoming Hereford World issues as we discuss with breeders key take-home messages from the conference and as an Association we continue to build a roadmap for improving Herefords’ position in the cattle industry. For a complete summary of the event, visit HerefordGeneticSummit.com or see the October Hereford World. This issue:

Meeting market demands and providing consistent quality cattle can keep Hereford genetics at top of mind for commercial cattlemen. by Julie White

The data speaks for itself, or does it? There are a lot of options for commercial cattlemen out there when choosing their next bull or set of females. The Hereford breed offers a variety of tools to those cattlemen, but when seedstock breeders provide customers with that added value, it just might move the needle on the Hereford breed’s prominence in the industry.

More than bulls “We produce the best cattle we possibly can so when our customers buy our seedstock and our genetics they can be comfortable with the bulls they take home,” says Wayne Mrnak of Mrnak Herefords, Bowman, N.D. “We want our bulls to do what our customers expect them to do.” Wayne and his family run 350 registered cows on their ranch, and maintain an Angus cow herd used as recips in their embryo transfer (ET)

program. Each February they market on average 100 head of on-coming 2-year-old Hereford bulls and 70 registered Hereford yearling heifers. In their most recent sale, all but two bulls went to commercial cattlemen. For the past 10 years, the Mrnaks have invited their customers to market their F1-cross black baldie females from Mrnak Hereford genetics in the production sale. In the 2014 sale, the baldie female lots topped out at 450 head — all from Mrnak customers. “Justin, a young man who bought some bulls from us, wanted to find a way to sell his females,” Wayne explains. “He asked if he could put a few in our sale and we thought it sounded like a great idea. Tragically, he was killed in a car accident and never got to see how it all came together.” Wayne says once they began offering to sell pens of their customers’ baldie females, the interest grew by word of mouth. “People were seeing what we were doing and what we had done,” he says. “We found that buyers were wanting to purchase a pen from one breeder. They wanted heifers that come from a one-iron operation.” They sell the baldies by weight groups and are able to accommodate breeders of various sizes with some offering 10-15 females and others 75-80 head. Mrnak customers are still responsible for paying commission, Hereford.org

but the ranch promotes the cattle for their patrons in the sale catalog, advertisements and radio spots free of charge. “We give them an excellent opportunity to market their black baldie females,” Wayne says. In addition to the sale, Mrnak Herefords owns and operates a 1,000-head feedlot. The Mrnaks purchase Hereford steers from their customers and background them to around 900 lb.

Feeder calves influence Hereford demand On the eastern half of the U.S., a team in the Bluegrass State saw an opportunity to provide value to Hereford-influenced feeder calves — more so a place to sell whiteface calves at a fair price — through the Kentucky Hereford-Influenced Feeder Calf Sale. “The emphasis for organizing the sale was because we weren’t getting enough money for our Hereford cattle compared to some of the other breeds,” says Lowell Atwood, Kentucky Hereford breeder and sale coordinator. “We formed a committee and we talked about it.” Kentucky Hereford breeders collaborated to host their first feeder calf sale in 2009, which was modeled after the Tennessee Hereford Marketing Program Feeder Calf Sale. “We talked to the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, the University of Kentucky animal science department and the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service.” He says they also relied heavily on the assistance of John Woolfolk, Jackson, Tenn. “John saved us from making a lot of missteps,” Lowell adds. Kentucky hosts two sales each year at the Bluegrass Stockyards South in Stanford, Ky. — one in May and one in December. They are averaging five to seven pot loads (50,000-lb. lots) per sale. “This is a place where we can bring in a number of cattle from the northeastern states, including West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania, load them on semis and send them to the feedlots,” says Lowell. Hereford.org

In addition to hosting and promoting the sale for consignors, the committee provides brochures and information on management practices to help breeders improve their profitability. Lowell says the sale has changed the face of Herefords in central Kentucky. “We were not getting as much for our Hereford cattle when we started the sale as black-hided cattle were bringing,” he explains. “And we really have affected the price of Hereford breeding stock in the area. The demand for Hereford cattle is unbelievable.” Not only is the Kentucky Hereford-Influenced Feeder Calf Sale a service to Hereford breeders in the region, but buyers have the opportunity to purchase large numbers of consistent cattle. “You’ve got to have cattle that have the muscle to grade and gain,” Lowell says. “You have to know what the market demands and our consignors have done a great job of that. We have buyers calling back saying they are really pleased with the cattle they bought because they grew well, gained well and went to slaughter and yielded well. If you can bring those to our sale they will sell good.” Lowell explains that cattlemen have done a lot to improve and buyers like Herefords, but there is still more room for growth in market share.

It’s all about the buyer Offering added value to their seedstock is what has improved the market for Mrnak genetics says Wayne. “Anything you can do for your customer in any business is

good for your bottom line,” he adds. “They appreciate what we do … that we are willing to do what we can to keep them in business.” Wayne says the cornerstone to a successful seedstock operation is integrity. “Treat people like they are the most important people in the world, because they are,” he says. “What you can do for them

“If they want to buy purple cattle, you’d better figure out how to make ’em purple.” Wayne Mrnak as far as testing and genomic enhanced-expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs), and all the technology we have today is very important to gain the trust and faith of customers.” He also, like Lowell, says it’s imperative to know your customer and to produce what they want. “We have very few customers come to us for bulls to put on heifers,” he says. “We use calving-ease genetics, but we’re not known as ‘heifer bull’ producers.” When it all comes down to it, “the customer is always right” and it’s the seedstock breeder’s responsibility to provide the tools and stock to meet the customers’ demands and to keep them profitable. Wayne remembers what his father used to say, “If they want to buy purple cattle, you’d better figure out how to make ’em purple.” HW

Protein Runners across the country tell how beef is their fuel for the finish. by Bridget Beran

ll across the country, runners are donning bright red Team Beef jerseys and showing America how beef is a part of a healthy, active lifestyle. “We have a problem with people not relating beef to being healthy,” says Daren Williams, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) communications executive director. “We knew we could make great strides with athletes promoting beef as part of a healthy diet.” Team Beef members participate in 5K and 10K races, half and full marathons, and triathlons. With races gaining popularity for charities and athletes alike, NCBA staff saw this as a perfect

opportunity to spread the word about how beef could be a part of a healthy diet and active lifestyle. Williams says team members can do any type of race they choose to help raise awareness for beef. For Williams, the beginnings of Team Beef were partially linked to his personal mission to get in shape. Recalling how heavy he was before he decided to get in shape, Williams says, “I knew I needed to do something. I needed to change my life for my own health.” Confronted with a public outlook on beef as not being a healthy choice for an athletic lifestyle, NCBA staff

decided having a team of athletes to share beef’s story was the best solution. Jaime Hanson, Comfrey, Minn., focuses on the “ZIP” aspect when promoting beef at races. “You get zinc, iron and protein (“ZIP”) all in one package,” Hanson says. “Protein is important to keep your body fueled and we think beef is a great source for that.” Hanson became involved with Nebraska’s Team Beef runners after applying for a Nebraska Cattlemen internship three years ago. Meghan Mueseler first heard about Team Beef through a co-worker at Cargill Meat Solutions. A former National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) member, Mueseler says her interest was immediately piqued. She joined Team Beef USA and then joined Kansas Team Beef after it was established. “What’s a better billboard for the beef industry than a steak on a grill on the back and front of jerseys running the streets of some of the largest cities in the U.S.?” she says. Team members like Mueseler answer questions about how beef provides fuel for a runner. She says her favorite way of answering is to say that there are 26 lean cuts of beef that are actually considered leaner than a chicken breast. “An athlete needs protein to fuel and refuel and what better way than with a lean cut of beef?” she adds. Hanson, a former NJHA director, already had a passion for advocating for beef, and running for Nebraska’s Team Beef helped her tell that story. “It was something I really believed and now it’s a habit and it’s a great stress reliever,” Hanson says. “It’s for a good cause and beef is something that’s really important to me.” Finding the team to be something she could get on board with, preparing for the Lincoln National Guard half marathon was Hanson’s next challenge. Hereford.org

Ready to run Training for the May 2014 race began all the way back in the prior fall for Hanson, who says she started out training by focusing on strength training before moving to a cardio-heavy workout in February. Hanson advises taking training slowly and building up endurance one mile at a time. “It was a good way to kick myself in the butt and get in shape,” Hanson laughs. “It’s one of those things, like for me I wasn’t a long distance runner growing up so it’s more of a mental challenge. You’ve got to build your whole body up. You have to cross train, biking, swimming, so you become an all-around athlete.” However Mueseler says there’s no fitness level required to join Team Beef, and that’s one of the things she loves about it. No matter a runner’s athletic ability, everyone is invited to join the running advocates. While she
