World’s Perspective
Rollover from 2020
by Diane Meyer
Don’t count on the new year for a clean slate. When faced with all of the year’s divergencies from the norm, it became the norm to wish for the end of 2020. As if, somehow, the end of a calendar year would signal a global pandemic to cease and desist. With 2020 dwindling to a close, the hope for a reset at the onset of 2021 seems farfetched. However, this realization doesn’t mean a fresh start is out of reach. Every day — every moment, really — is an opportunity for a clean slate.
Hindsight’s 20/20 Diane Meyer is the editor of Hereford World. She can be reached at dmeyer@hereford.org.
This year has tested everyone’s ability and willingness to adapt, and I believe everyone fell victim to discouragement and hopelessness at one point. Beef producers were left at the mercy of poor markets and cancelled events. Months and years of work seemed washed down the drain. While things took a turn for the worst this year, nothing can undo progress. The aftermath of what started in 2020 is sure to rollover into 2021 and then some. Don’t count on the new year for a clean slate. Count on now — a moment you’re sure about. Analyze your current situation and make decisions to handle the reality you face. Make those New Year’s resolutions come January to make improvements, knowing COVID19 will still be a reality. Things may never return to how they were, but with a proactive approach, you can create a new normal that plays to your strengths. Every moment is an opportunity to do something better than you have before.
In this issue The American Hereford Association (AHA) was proud to host the 2020 Annual Membership Meeting and Conference in October. In a special section starting on Page 27, we pay tribute to the distinguished individuals and programs that make our breed

stronger. I extend my appreciation to the AHA Board and staff for their flexibility in adapting the event to a program in which everyone could partake. When it seemed the dust was settling after an “uneventful” summer, the cancellation of the famed National Western and Fort Worth 2021 stock shows created another windstorm. Alternate plans were quickly made, and the AHA moved forward with recognizing the 2021 Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City as a national point show. As is tradition, the AHA will host a national Hereford Night Sale at the event Saturday, Jan. 9. Look through the offering starting on Page 65. The pandemic was not the only wrench in 2020. The presidential election illuminated the stark divide between America’s major political parties and the growing disconnect between urban and rural communities. While national news outlets reported on political campaigns and coronavirus pandemonium, a severe derecho storm hit Iowa, knocking the legs out from many farmers who are in need of our nation’s attention and support. Turn to Page 96 to see how Hereford breeders rallied to help their neighbors affected by the storm. As you prepare to turn a new chapter — whether today, next week of next month — don’t be afraid to seek advice. Learn from seasoned breeders like the 2020 Hall of Fame inductees (Page 30). Take those extra steps to make priorities for your operation under the counsel of business coach Sarah Beth Aubrey in her monthly column “ACT’s Playbook” (Page 104). Most importantly, soak in the cheer of the holiday season. I hope you all enjoy precious time with your family and friends this Christmas and ring in the new year with renewed optimism. Make each moment as bright as your smile. Hereford.org

Cast Your Cheer
by Jack Ward
Take pride in celebrating the Christmas season and your family traditions.
Jack Ward is the executive vice president of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at jward@hereford.org.
I am writing this column on Election Day. As the day has progressed, the voter turnout across the country has been incredible. I live in an agricultural community with a population of about 2,500 residents. When I arrived at my designated polling place 15 minutes before it opened, there was already a line of more than 50 people waiting to cast their votes. Once the doors were open it took about 20 minutes to get through the line, and our county polling workers did a fantastic job keeping things moving and preparing the voting areas as people made their way to the next available station. Marking the ballot with my choices always gives me a good feeling, and as I watched others come out of the voting area, you could see the pride in their decisions by the expressions on their faces. As I walk through the office today, I see the same pride on the faces of the American Hereford Association staff as they proudly show off their “I Voted” stickers. I hope all of you were able to express your opinions and pride by voting.
Celebrate your traditions It is hard to even think of words to properly describe 2020, but as we move into the Christmas season, we can all agree this is “the most wonderful time of the year.” The Christmas season is full of joy, family and generosity. Each of us can certainly share stories and traditions of how we celebrate Christmas and, over time, those seem to change and evolve. During my childhood, we celebrated in a variety of ways, but I

always remember Christmas Eve. The entire Ward family would gather at my grandmother’s house. My dad has two brothers and a sister and between grandkids, great-grandkids and spouses, there could be 40 people or more gathered in her small house — and no one minded. There was always plenty of food and drink and my grandmother always had a gift for all of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Even though we were crowded, each of us would share a chair, sit on the corner of the couch or just find a space on the floor to sit and visit with each other. I always remember the stories and the laughter and, most importantly, the gleam in my grandmother’s eyes as we all sat around for a couple of hours to celebrate the season. Before the passing of my parents, we celebrated in much the same way. My mother was an outstanding cook and she always prepared a fantastic Christmas meal. As my six brothers and sisters and I had moved to different parts of the country with our own families, it was always fun to get everyone together over the holidays. While it is not possible for all of us to get together as we used to, each of us has found our own traditions to celebrate the Christmas season with our families. I hope each of you has the ability to celebrate in your own ways this Christmas season and cherish the traditions you have with your families and friends. I wish you all a merry Christmas and a very blessed New Year.

Board Action
Fall 2020 Board Meeting Recap
The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met in Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 22-23. Review the highlights of the meeting below.
Finance and Audit
The Board unanimously supported a motion to move forward with research concerning how to import EPDs on animals from Australia and New Zealand.
Marc Johnson, Ryan Dreher and Rhonda Broekemeier of K-Coe Isom, LLP presented the 2020 AHA audit. They reported the AHA has $17,843,383 total net assets and a consolidated net income of $1,294,460. The Board unanimously supported the 2020 audit and the recommended accounting policy updates. The Board unanimously supported the following appointments to the Hereford Legacy Fund (HLF) board of directors: John Loewen, Oklahoma Bruce Everhart, Indiana Bill King, New Mexico Eric Walker, Tennessee Kevin Schultz, Kansas
Member Service The Board was updated on the progress of the customizable list functions through MyHerd and unanimously supported releasing the updated version of MyHerd when the support materials are completed.
Commercial Programs
Breed Improvement The Board unanimously supported a change in how the marbling (MARB) expected progeny difference (EPD) is scaled in the Certified Hereford Beef profit index (CHB$). The updated version of CHB$ was reflected in the Nov. 9 release of EPDs and indices.
The staff shared the results of the 2020 National Junior Hereford Association Fed Steer Shootout and the Hereford Feedout Program. In 2020, AHA field staff presented Nolan Stone of S= Cattle Co. with 23 groups of cattle and four groups had been traded. Stone reported this is typical of his success at buying cattle in the country.

Performance Matters
A Prime Position
by Shane Bedwell
The legacy of the late Allan Shumaker will live on through a generous donation to the Hereford Research Foundation. December is here and the journey to this point in the year has been one filled with ups and downs, but I must say Hereford business has ridden through in resilient style. Positivity breeds success. Frankly, I believe Hereford genetics and, most importantly, the people behind this breed, are what propels this industry forward. There are many strengths this industry needs from us, and I am excited about what is ahead. Shane Bedwell is the chief operating officer and director of breed improvement of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at sbedwell@hereford.org.
The late Allan Shumaker, Wetmore, Kan., was honored at the 2020 American Hereford Association Annual Membership Meeting and Conference for a gift of $116,932 made on his behalf to the Hereford Research Foundation.

| December 2020
CHB$ Update During the week of the Annual Membership Meeting and Conference in Kansas City, Mo., the American Hereford Association (AHA) conducted virtual educational sessions in place of the typical educational forum. While I missed the great interactions and group discussions, these virtual sessions offered a lot of great content, and I encourage you to watch these sessions at Hereford.org/ events/annual-meeting/. During the breed improvement session — Utilizing the Tools for Victory — I shared an update to the Certified Hereford Beef profit index (CHB$) that was implemented in the genetic evaluation released Nov. 9, 2020. Under a policy implemented by the AHA Board of Directors, the AHA profit indices are reviewed every three years. During the most recent review process, an error was found in how the economic value of marbling was scaled in relation to the value of the marbling expected progeny difference (MARB) when calculating the weight of MARB in the CHB$. The take-home message is the importance, or weight, of MARB has increased in the CHB$ index.
Honoring Allan Shumaker During the Annual Meeting, I had the great privilege to announce a $116,932 gift on behalf of the late Allan
Shumaker. Allan was a lifelong Hereford breeder from Wetmore, Kan., with a great passion for the breed. A believer in the value of collecting actual data from birth to harvest, he emphasized all traits needed to make Hereford genetics work for the commercial beef industry in his breeding program. He gained tremendous respect amongst commercial cattlemen because his genetics benefited their bottom line. Allan went well beyond capturing basic phenotypes by collecting actual feedlot and carcass data while never losing sight of fertility and longevity. He was an active participant in the Kansas Hereford Association’s National Hereford Feedout program and used this valuable data to improve his herd. As DNA technology entered the scene, Allan deemed it necessary to start the Hereford Prime Foundation to collect DNA on all cattle in the National Hereford Feedout program in a central location. His vison was to tie this valuable data together, to use it for the further promotion of the Hereford breed and to build upon the predictability of key growth, efficiency and carcass traits. To further Allan’s mission of utilizing valuable data for breed improvement, a gift was pledged to the Hereford Research Foundation (HRF) on his behalf. A lot can be taken away from Allan’s breeding philosophy and his desire to utilize all data and technology to make improvements. What I respect most about Allan is that he had the commercial man in mind with every decision he made. His legacy will live on through his generous gift to the HRF and will allow for more concentrated efforts to further enhance the tools and value the Hereford breed has to offer the commercial beef industry.

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

Spring Inventory Deadline
by Laura Loschke
It’s that time again. Spring 2021 herd inventories were generated this month for Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) members. Check your mail or your MyHerd.org account for your herd inventory and remember to get it turned in by Jan. 15 to receive a $0.25 per-head discount on every female maintained on the inventory. Inventories turned in between Jan. 16 – March 1 will be charged the normal $5.50 per cow, $3 per first time heifer and $1.50 per bull (optional). Any inventories turned in after March 1 will incur the $2 per-head surcharge. Any dam whose offspring you intend to register and record weaning performance data on through the Whole Herd TPR program must be listed on the current inventory.
Inventory FAQs Q: I sold a cow and transferred her to someone else’s ownership. Why is she still on my inventory?
A: If an animal is listed on your inventory but you have sold the animal, then a proper disposal code and date must be reported in order to remove the animal from your inventory. If the animal was sold with papers, American Hereford Association staff does not automatically remove the animal from your inventory because they are not certain if you still have offspring from the animal to register. If you would like to remove the animal, use the disposal code “T sold with papers” and the appropriate disposal date.
Q: If I have embryo transfer calves out of a dam I do not own, do I have to add the donor dam to my inventory?
A: No, you do not have to add the donor dam to your inventory. However, a recipient cow inventory fee for each embryo transfer (ET) calf will be billed if the calf is recorded with birth performance information (birth weight). If birth performance information isn’t reported, a recipient inventory fee won’t be billed.
Q: If I jointly own a dam with someone else, but I don’t have physical possession of the dam and won’t be registering her calf, how do I need to mark her on my inventory? A: If you multi-own a dam with someone else, you will want to make sure you keep the dam on your inventory. However, if you aren’t the member who will be registering her calf, you will want to mark her as “CE12 Multi-owned, no calf.” Q: I have females that do not show on my inventory. Why? A: Remember, females won’t appear on the inventory until they have reached at least 18 months of age. Heifers should only be enrolled on the inventory if they’re bred to calve in the season described. In this instance, Spring 2021.
Reproductive status codes Keep in mind your reproductive status and disposal code options listed below: Status codes NS Next Season NE Non-exposed CE6 Calf born dead or died shortly after CE7 Aborted/premature CE8 Open, missed out CE9 Died, calving difficulty CE10 ET donor dam CE11 ET recipient dam CE12 Multi-owned, no calf Disposal codes T sold with papers 1 sold as a breeding animal without papers 2 sold as a feeder calf 3 Died, illness 4 Died, injury 5 Died, calving difficulty 6 Died, old age 7 Died, other 8 Culled, inferior production 9 Culled, open 10 Culled, illness 11 Culled, injury 12 Culled, poor treatment 13 Culled or died, genetic defect 14 Culled, bad feet 15 Culled, poor udder(s) 16 Culled, prolapse 17 Culled, cancer eye 18 Culled, structurally unsound 19 Culled, old age 20 Culled, other Inventories can be submitted electronically through MyHerd.org or via mail or email. As always, if you are having problems navigating through MyHerd, you can view the MyHerd Help pages, view our 20-plus tutorials, or call Customer Service at 816-842-3757.

We set out to achieve something knowing it would take hard work and determination. “Ambition” was the result! We wanted to build a herd bull with extra performance, power, data, and pigment from a pedigree stacked full of breed changing cows with udder quality, power, fertility, and fleshing ability. His donor dam exemplifies everything we feel needs to be behind a herd bull – bold bodied, soft made, broody, sound, fertile, great uddered, and produces at a high level! Add her to the household named cows in the rest of his pedigree including 79Z, 91H, 73S, 151U, X338, 24H, and 137M, Ambition has as much multi-dimensional breeding potential as any bull available on the open market today.

CHB Bites
Top Three Tips for Food Safety
by Kyle Caldwell
“CHB Bites” is a column designed to keep you in-the-know about the Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) program. To get involved with CHB on social media, search Certified Hereford Beef on Facebook and Pinterest, @certifiedherefordbeef on Instagram and @crtherefordbeef on Twitter.
Never slice a cooked roast or turkey on the same cutting board where you had raw meat. Cooking helps kill unwanted, illness-causing microorganisms, but if you place an already cooked item onto a dirty, contaminated cutting board, then the cooked product becomes contaminated again. Diluted bleach is an excellent way to ensure proper sanitation of surfaces and utensils. Wash major food residues off your knives, cutting board or counter before cleaning. Mix one tablespoon of bleach into a gallon of water; stir and pour into a spray bottle. This creates a solution strong enough to sanitize food contact surfaces without being harmful to humans. Make sure to wipe everything down with a clean, dry cloth afterwards.
Cook food properly Holiday cooking and baking is a mainstay, and main courses such as turkey and ham (or better, Certified Hereford Beef ® prime rib!) are holiday favorites for many. While these dishes might be the star attraction, proper food safety practices are equally important.
Don’t cross contaminate Thoroughly clean and sanitize any cutting boards, counters or tables that have come in contact with raw meat products before using that surface to prepare something else. This is one of the most common ways to spread germs like Salmonella or E. Coli. For example, never cut vegetables on the same surface you just touched with a raw turkey unless it has been properly cleaned and sanitized.

Another leading cause of foodborne illness, especially in meat, is insufficient internal temperatures. A meat thermometer is a very simple and inexpensive tool everyone should have in the kitchen to ensure: 1) You and your families are safe when consuming meals 2) You don’t overcook any meats and make them too dry or tough Intact beef products (roasts and steaks) are safe to consume at 145 F internal, which is a medium degree of doneness. Non-intact products, such as ground beef and tenderized steaks (cube steaks), should always be cooked to 160 F or well done to ensure any dangerous microorganisms are eliminated.
Finally, all poultry products, like turkey and chicken, should always be cooked to 165 F. Always probe your thermometer in the thickest part of the meat to get an accurate temperature reading.
Store food properly Many of us put in a lot of effort to prepare and cook food safely, but it could all be in vain if you do not store your foods properly in the refrigerator. The general rule we follow is to stay in the “temperature danger zone” of 40 F to 140 F for no more than four hours. Most microorganisms grow fastest in this range of temperatures, so try and minimize time spent in the temperature danger zone. If you think your food may have spent too long in the temperature danger zone, simply reheat to 165 F internal temperature to kill any harmful germs. The best way to stay out of the temperature danger zone is to always immediately refrigerate foods once you are finished eating. Don’t leave it out too long and always properly reheat before eating leftovers. The holiday seasons are about spending time with family; do not let food poisoning ruin your good time. So, remember, don’t cross contaminate, cook your food and store it properly! If you follow these tips, then you should be set to serve a delicious and safe holiday dinner.

Youth Movement
Thanks A Million
by Noah Benedict
On behalf of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board of directors, all I can say is thank you. Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout this crazy year. As we look back to January and fast forward to December so much has changed. We had to uproot existing plans, adapt and create new solutions to very, very unique situations. However, one thing we always counted on throughout the entire year was the support from our Hereford family.
A look back Moving back to January, we looked toward the crowd as we saw great support of the NJHA, Hereford Youth Foundation of America and the Lot 1 Foundation Female. Fast forward to March and the uncertainty about the Junior

National Hereford Expo (JNHE) arose. Thanks to the exhibitors, sponsors, breeders, American Hereford Association (AHA) staff and everyone in-between, we were able to host an amazing event for Hereford youth to enjoy — in my opinion, the best week of summer. From there we set our sights on producing another annual calendar for our membership. Jump ahead to this fall, we saw a former Lot 1 Foundation Female give back with a flush donation in “The Chosen One” Sale, hosted by Jensen Bros., Courtland, Kan. We followed that sale with a great weekend in Kansas City for the AHA Annual Membership Meeting and Conference and American Royal. The Ladies of the Royal Sale continued the tradition of selling the Lot 1 Street Sign and had an all-around great sale. Later that same evening, we were able to see some of the best competition yet in the junior Hereford show, and it carried through to a top-notch open show as well. Once everyone headed home, I was able to set my sights on the inaugural JNHE “Sale of
Champions,” hosted by Lowderman Auction Options. The sale highlighted some of the best genetics the breed has to offer from several previous JNHE champions. After concluding all of this year’s events, I go back to the first sentence: All I can say is thank you. Thank you to the buyers, donors, sponsors and all of the Hereford family. Thank you for your continued support and belief in the NJHA and our board. We love serving the members of the association and could not successfully do that without all of the help along the way. Thanks a million.

Foundation’s Focus AHA Spotlights HYFA Scholarships by George Sprague
The fall is an especially exciting time for the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and its board members, as it is when we have the pleasure of receiving and evaluating scholarship applications from an outstanding group of Hereford juniors. Then, the awardees are announced at the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting and Conference in Kansas City, Mo. This year, when seemingly nothing is normal, most of this process proceeded as usual. The only exception was the award ceremony, which was conducted virtually. Although disappointing to the recipients and to the HYFA board members, who always look forward to talking directly with these accomplished young people, the virtual approach turned out to have an upside. It generated two videos, now posted on the AHA’s website, Hereford.org/events/
annual-meeting/, where everyone in the Hereford community can meet this year’s truly impressive set of awardees. Take a look. I think you’ll be proud.
Investing in the youth We received about 60 applications for the 24 scholarships we awarded. The application asks the students to present their academic record, but more importantly, to tell us about their agricultural and community activities and to write three short essays on various topics. Finally, the applicants must provide two letters of reference from individuals who know them well. In this way, we are given a window into the applicants’ stories. What are their interests? What excites them? What are their goals and ambitions? What individuals and activities have been formative in their lives? The 24 awardees represent the spectrum of the Hereford industry.
Scholarship recipient testimonials Tyler Allan I am currently enrolled at Texas Tech University, majoring in animal science with a focus in business. After I graduate, I plan on receiving a master of business administration degree, eyeing a future in pharmaceutical or nutritional sales. I also plan to stay involved with the Hereford breed. I cannot put into words what this scholarship means to my family and me. The Vanier Family Scholarship does not just help cover the cost of college. It also recognizes those who aim to better themselves, not only through education, but also through working with the Hereford breed during their career.
Peyton Schmitt I am currently a senior at Iowa State University, studying agricultural communications with a minor in animal science. I plan to seek a career in communications with a role allowing me to serve our industry and the hardworking people within it. My lifelong involvement with the Hereford breed has instilled within me a deep-rooted passion for agriculture and the livestock industry. The support I have received from the Hereford Youth Foundation of America throughout my education has been instrumental in allowing me to pursue my degree.

Geographically, they hail from 16 different states, from California to North Carolina and from Minnesota to Texas. Some are active on the national stage; others are mainly engaged at the state and local level. Some are especially enthusiastic about the showring; others are more interested in the production side of the industry. Their career interests are incredibly diverse, also. Some are aiming for law school or veterinary school. Some want to contribute to the Hereford and cattle industry by specializing in animal science and nutrition. Some want to focus on agricultural communication and hope thereby to influence the public’s perception of agriculture. In the sidebar on this page, two of this year’s awardees tell us about their goals and what the scholarship means to them. This fall’s scholarship support totaled $150,000, and over the years, more than $1.5 million in aggregate has been awarded to juniors. The money for these scholarships comes from donations made by Hereford breeders. For example, the Vanier family from Kansas has donated 10 $10,000 scholarships in each of the last five years. We are extremely grateful for their generosity. The remaining 14 scholarships are made possible by endowments set up by individual ranches such as Ball/Cottonwood Springs, EE Ranches and CBY Polled Herefords. Together, these scholarships provide a remarkable investment in the education of Hereford youth and help ensure a bright future for our industry. Please join me in thanking the donors for the opportunities they provide. George Sprague is the vice president of HYFA. He can be reached at gks@bar1ranch.com. Hereford.org

Hereford Women Hereford Women Gather in Kansas City by Briley Miller
The National Hereford Women (NHW) were blessed to meet in Kansas City, Mo., during the American Royal in October. We were fortunate to meet both as a board with members face-to-face and via Facebook Live during the general membership meeting. The membership meeting started after the American Hereford Association Annual Membership Meeting on Saturday, Oct. 24. We had several members in attendance.
Meet the new board members Three new board members elected to the NHW board of directors: Allison May, Diane Wilson and Sally Wingler. Allison comes to us from Maryland. She grew up in New Jersey on her grandfather’s Hereford farm. She is a client service manager for Trans Ova Genetics and carries on the Hereford tradition with her daughter, Lena.
Diane hails from Virginia, where she lives on her family’s Hereford operation. She helps to manage all aspects of the farm activities from feeding to marketing and selling. Sally is from Tennessee and is active in the state Hereford association as well as in the Tennessee Hereford Women and the 4-H program. These ladies have a passion for the Hereford breed, and we welcome them to the board with open arms. The addition of new members also means we had retiring members: Sharon King, Amy Green Taylor and Erin Lockhart. These three women have gone above and beyond to help promote the Hereford breed and give back to our Hereford youth. It was an honor to serve with all of you. Your smiling faces and can-do attitudes will be missed!

The NHW had the opportunity during the meeting to recognize the Hereford Woman of the Year. The Nebraska Hereford Women nominated Jewell Deichmann as the 2020 National Hereford Woman of the Year. Jewell, 90 years old, was able to join us via an internet conference call. Throughout her life, Jewell has been dedicated to promoting the Hereford breed in Nebraska. She was the driving force behind the start of the Nebraska Pollettes in the early ’60s, including helping to write the constitution and bylaws many other state associations used as a template when creating their own organizations. Turn to Page 52 to learn more about Jewell. After the meeting, the board members headed to the Ladies of the Royal Sale at the American Royal. Thank you to Kim Carney
The retiring NHW board members pictured (l to r) are: Erin Lockhart, Bryan, Texas; Amy Taylor, Munford, Ky.; and Sharon King, Columbia, Miss.
Rhodes for purchasing the Lot 2 Big Boy Classic .44 Magnum Rifle at the sale! In addition, we drew for the Kay Knight Original Lady of the Royal diamond Hereford necklace. The lucky winner was Bob Schaffer. Thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket for the wine, glass and a chance to win the beautiful necklace. Proceeds from both of these events will go to NHW scholarships and activities for Hereford youth. To round out the weekend, we crowned a new National Hereford Queen. Kaylee McInvale was crowned the 2021 National Hereford Queen. First runnerup was Madison Sifford, Va. Second runner-up was Madalynne Yenter, Iowa. Miss Congeniality was awarded to Molly Minihan, Kan. All of the contestants did an outstanding job. With all of the craziness in the world today, we were fortunate to get to meet and see our Hereford friends and families this year in Kansas City. As a board, both new and old, we traveled home with full hearts and an ever-growing enthusiasm for the Hereford breed and our Hereford youth. We can’t wait to see you at the next show!

American Hereford Association members spent Saturday, Oct. 24, hearing a review of fiscal year 2020.
Special recognition was paid to the late Allan Shumaker, Wetmore, Kan., for a donation on his behalf to the Hereford Research Foundation. Learn more about Allan and his dedication to the breed on Page 10.
merican Hereford Association (AHA) members, breeders, partners and staff celebrated tradition and progress during the 2020 AHA Annual Membership Meeting and Conference Oct. 19-26. The greatly anticipated event looked vastly different compared to previous years. To combat the restricts surrounding COVID-19, the weeklong celebration featured a combination of virtual Zoom sessions and events in Kansas City, Mo. More than 130 viewers tuned into virtual educational sessions throughout the week. The sessions highlighted topics on breed improvement, commercial marketing success, consumer preferences and the political climate. Later in the week, outstanding members, dedicated breeders, passionate brand ambassadors and exceptional youth were honored during the Hereford Homecoming Virtual Awards. Friday evening, Hereford enthusiasts gathered at the Loews Kansas City Convention Center
for the AHA Board of Directors Homecoming Social. Team Hereford met Saturday morning for the Hereford Homecoming breakfast and honored the Hall of Fame and Hall of Merit award recipients.

Each candidate will serve four-year terms on the 12-member Board. Mark St. Pierre, El Nido, Calif., was elected the 2021 AHA president and Bruce Everhart, Waldron, Ind., was elected vice president. Completing their terms on the AHA Board were retiring president Joel Birdwell, Kingfisher, Okla., and directors Tommy Mead, Midville, Ga.; and Bruce Thomas, Goldcreek, Mont.
2021 AHA President Mark St. Pierre is the beef manager at Pedretti Ranches in El Nido, Calif. He is a member of the Pedretti family, and he has worked in the family business for almost 40 years. At Pedretti Ranches, Mark manages the Hereford herd, which consists of 200 registered cows with 100 calving in the spring and 100 calving in the fall. The Pedrettis have long emphasized performance data in their Hereford herd with performance records dating back to the 1950s. Even though the ranch received recognition in the showring in the ’70s and early ’80s, including cattle shown on the Hill and in the carloads at
the NWSS, the Pedrettis’ goal has always been to produce cattle that work for the commercial cattlemen in California. Pedretti Ranches raises approximately 80 bulls each year, which are marketed by private treaty sales. With two calving seasons six months apart, the ranch always has the next set of bulls on test. Both Mark and his father-in-law, Gino Pedretti, work with commercial customers. Pedretti Ranches focuses on sound cattle with balanced expected progeny differences (EPDs), good disposition and udder quality. Mark manages the day-to-day work including addressing herd health issues, vaccination schedules, feeding, pasture management, breeding and calving. Mark has served as a CaliforniaNevada Hereford Association board member and has hosted numerous tours. He has been a Merced-Mariposa County Cattlemen’s Association director, a member of the Chowchilla High School FFA ag advisory committee, a 4-H leader and a volunteer fireman. Mark has also served as a deacon and elder in his local church. Mark and his wife, Kim, have two children — a daughter, Christy, and a son, Matt, and his wife, Leah — and one granddaughter.
2021 AHA Vice President Bruce Everhart operates Everhart Herefords, which is a 50-year purebred operation consisting of
25 head. The operation sells bulls, steers and heifers to commercial and junior members in the Midwest and utilizes grass and wood pastures not suitable for corn and soybean production. Its herd was built on junior heifers purchased annually from Wiese and Sons over a 15-year period. Breeding some of the best females from this iconic herd to some of the most elite bulls of the breed has produced champions at state and national shows. The highlights of the program are raising the reserve supreme heifer at the Indiana State Fair and the reserve national champion female at the JNHE. Bruce recently retired after a 40-year career in ag banking, which included managing an ag banking team in the Midwest with Wells Fargo Bank. Bruce is also a board member and past president of the Indiana Hereford Association. He has served leadership roles in hosting three extremely successful JNHEs in Indiana, was the vice chairman and finance chair of the Hereford Youth Foundation of America and served as a board member of the Hereford Legacy Fund LLC. He and his wife, Shoshanna, have two children — son, Blake, and his wife, Ashley; and daughter, Jordan, and her husband, Brian — and six grandchildren.

New directors Raised on a multigenerational operation based in eastern Oregon, Wyatt Agar is a manager and a partner in Durbin Creek Ranch, Thermopolis, Wyo., and Washakie Feeders, Worland, Wyo. The seedstock division runs 500 head of females, where artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET) technologies are used to produce threefourths and full siblings. At weaning half of the heifers are retained for the cow herd while the other half are marketed as bred females. Bulls are sold as 2-yearolds in a February production sale, which also includes baldy replacement females and ranch geldings. Calves that do not make the bull pen are fed and used to collect data on the sire groups. The commercial division runs approximately 1,200 Angus and Red Angus mother cows that are exposed to Hereford bulls to produce first generation (F1) calves. The program collects data from birth to harvest on sires used in the seedstock division. At weaning females are sold in the February production sale. Light steers go to the operation’s stocker program in Oregon, and heavy steers are backgrounded at Washakie Feeders along with 5,000 to 6,000 of the ranch’s bull customers’ calves. These steers are fed to 900 pounds and are finished in Colorado. Wyatt and his brother grew up on the family’s cow-calf and stocker operation in Oregon, which they later expanded to include the Wyoming divisions. Wyatt and his wife, Joey, strive to raise their children, Rylee, Taylor and Cooper, in the same manner — working side-by-side with family to produce high-quality beef cattle off the land and backed by the cowboy ethic. As a junior, Wyatt was the vice president of the Oregon Junior Hereford Association. Now, he is a senator in Wyoming’s Senate District 20 and is the first freshman senator in the state’s history to serve on the Appropriation Committee and the Select Capital Finance Committee. Prior to, he served a term as the vice chairman and a term as secretary of the Hot Springs County Republican Party. Wyatt is a former vice chairman of the

Transportation Committee, a board member of the Hot Springs County Weed and Pest and a deacon at the First Baptist Church of Thermopolis. In Winner, S.D., Jerome Ollerich operates Ollerich Bros. Herefords along with his brother, James. With their father’s help, the brothers got their start in the Hereford business with a 4-H project, sparking a lifelong passion for the breed. More than 50 years later, the Olleriches have grown their project into an operation consisting of approximately 100 Hereford cows and 30 bulls, which are marketed through annual private treaty sales. Ollerich cattle have been sold to producers in 13 states and three foreign countries. Before relocating to Winner, he grew up on a diversified farm in Sioux Falls, S.D., which included corn, soybeans, oats and a commercial cow herd. Additionally, his father owned a livestock auction barn and co-owned a grain elevator and a 10,000-head commercial feedlot. Jerome’s brother is involved in the trucking business and primarily hauls cattle. Jerome is very active with the South Dakota Hereford Association (SDHA). A past president, he has served two terms on its board of directors. In 2019 the SDHA recognized Ollerich Bros. Herefords with the Seedstock Producer of the Year award, the same year in which the brothers received the Golden Breeder award from the AHA. They have also hosted the South Dakota Junior Hereford Association Field Day back-to-back years and look forward to hosting the event in the future. In his community, Jerome served two terms on the township board and has served on the local church board. He was also a director of the South Dakota Rodeo Association for seven years. Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Maryland, Bob Schaffer owns Deer Track Farm in Spotsylvania, Va. The farm produces highquality female seedstock and performance-tested bulls.
After high school, Bob served in the Navy from 1968-72. Leveraging the skills he learned from his naval training, Bob spent 38 years in the computer-services industry, retiring in 2012 as a director for corporate program management. Despite having little exposure to agriculture growing up, Bob learned about his family’s agricultural roots from his grandfather, who had moved to Washington, D.C., during the Great Depression. Inspired by his grandfather’s stories, Bob established Deer Track Farm in 1979 with his wife, Shirley, and their children. The farm has incorporated leading industry tools and technology to assure superior standards. Registered Herefords were introduced in 1996. To grow the herd, Bob flushed high-end cows and transferred the embryos into his commercial cow herd. Five Deer Track Farm bulls have been accepted into the AHA’s National Reference Sire Program. Bob is one of the original 40 Gold Whole Herd Total Performance Record (TPR™) breeders and has been recognized as a Gold TPR breeder every year since the program’s inception. Naturally, he achieved Platinum TPR breeder status in the fall of 2020. Bob joined the Virginia Hereford Association (VHA) in 1997 and served on the board for 18 years, seven of which he held the role of president or vice president. He spearheaded and managed the VHA’s Bull Development Program, which has tested over 800 bulls since 2001 and has increased the marketability of Hereford bulls in Virginia. He also produced a historical video featuring original charter members of the 1968 Virginia Polled Hereford Association. In 2017 Deer Track Farm hosted both a VHA Field Day and a Certified Hereford Beef® Field Day, where the Sysco® sales team learned about beef production firsthand. Deer Track Farm was recognized with the Clean Water Farm Award in both 1994 and 2013 by the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Department of Conservation and Recreation and was honored as the 1994 Conservation Farmer of the Year for Spotsylvania County.

Burke Healey, Davis, Okla., was posthumously inducted into the Hereford Hall of Merit. The Hall of Fame and Merit awards are presented annually to those who have influenced the advancement of the Hereford breed and the beef industry. The Hall of Merit award recognizes those who have played a vital role in shaping both the Hereford breed and the beef industry. “Inductees into the Hereford Hall of Fame and Merit set the bar high when it comes to the advancement and promotion of the breed, ” says Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president. “We are proud to honor these esteemed breeders for their great contributions to improving Hereford genetics and the nation’s beef herd.”
2020 HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES Billy Ashe
Ashewood Farm, Selmer, Tenn. n the spring of 1956, a first-year student at the University of Tennessee with an FFA state farmer degree hitched a ride to Stillwater, Okla. After leaving Selmer, Tenn., at 9 p.m., Billy Ashe arrived at Oklahoma State University at 10 the next morning and was enrolled in fall classes and back on the road to Tennessee by 3 that afternoon. Bound and determined to be a cattleman, Billy spent his youth learning the ins and outs of the
I
beef industry by working for many established ranches and competing on OSU’s livestock judging team coached by Dr. Robert Totusek. Billy’s love of learning has never faltered, and his wisdom extends to those young and old and coast to coast. This lifetime resident of Selmer started his registered Hereford herd from scratch in 1963 after earning a degree in animal science and serving two years in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He quickly became a key influencer in the commercial adoption of Hereford genetics in the Southeast and was a driving force in establishing the Tennessee Hereford Marketing Program feeder calf sale, which set the standard for similar
sales marketing Hereford genetics. He helped merge the horned and polled Tennessee state associations, and under his presidency the membership of the Tennessee Hereford Association doubled. Jeremiah Malone, president of the Tennessee Hereford Association, describes Billy as a “great champion of the breed” and a man who “gives 110% to anyone who will reach out.” Billy is eager to credit Joyce, his wife of 44 years; son, Wesley; and daughter, Patti; and their families for their endless support of his achievements and for carrying on the Ashewood Farm legacy. His other role models include his father, William C., as well as Neil Trask, Earl Purdy and the Circle M Polled Hereford Ranch operation.

A firm believer in education, Billy is dedicated to tracking statistics and was an early adopter of performance testing and artificial insemination. He works tirelessly to help others in their quest for education and has established the W.C. and Addillia Ashe Agriculture Education Memorial Scholarship to support emerging agriculturalists. Fellow Hereford breeders Fred McMurry, Eric Walker and Marty Lueck commend Billy as an innovative, astute cattleman who is an ambassador and lifelong learner of the breed, and Tim Dennis of Glade Haven Herefords in New York has dubbed Billy a “bubbling fountain of Hereford knowledge.” Mark Cooper of Cooper Hereford Ranch in Montana says, “Billy truly exemplifies everything that is positive and good about the Hereford breed. His work ethic, integrity and commitment to his family’s operation serves as an example to all those wishing to make their mark in an industry full of great cattlemen and cattlewomen.”
Warren and Isabel Brown
Warren Brown Family, Hartland, Wis.
T
he late Warren Brown and his wife, Isabel, 98, of Hartland, Wis., are widely respected for their mentorship and leadership within the Hereford breed. The couple married in 1941, bringing together two established families from southeastern Wisconsin. Soon after their union, Warren served in WWII aboard a destroyer escort, and upon homecoming he and Isabel purchased a nursery farm in Waukesha County where they established a herd of polled Hereford cattle.

Warren and Isabel Brown, Hartland, Wis., were inducted into the Hereford Hall of Fame. Pictured (l to r) are: Joel Birdwell, Paul Slayton, Isabel Brown, Bette Brown Slayton, Steve Merry and Bruce Everhart.
Warren and Isabel each bought a polled heifer at the 1953 Illinois State Sale and began showing cattle under the herd letters W-I-B, a prefix now found throughout the U.S. and even Costa Rica. Their three children became active in showing Herefords, and the couple naturally became leaders in Hereford youth programs. They were integral in establishing the Wisconsin Junior Hereford Association and have counseled countless youth in and out of the showring. The Browns helped establish the formerly named Wisconsin Polled Hereford Association and were known as the face of the association for many years. Each served as president and Isabel led the organization as the executive secretary. She was also the first president of the Wisconsin Poll-ettes. They also worked tirelessly in their community. Among the many organizations and boards they served, the pair were dedicated to the Waukesha County Fair and its livestock show. Isabel was an active 4-H leader and organized the county’s first livestock auction to fundraise for a county beef barn and was named Honorary Fair Marshall of the Waukesha County Fair. Jerry Huth of Huth Polled Herefords in Oakfield, Wis., says, “There are few people who can
match the passion of Warren and Isabel Brown for the promotion and advancement of the beef business and the Hereford breed. Warren and Isabel are a model of the people that have made this breed great — untiring and continuous support of the beef industry, promotion of national and state Hereford organizations, and their love and support of the Hereford breed and the people who call themselves Hereford breeders.” Jim Birdwell of Fletcher, Okla., who auctioneered the Browns’ production sales for several years, adds, “They were truly icons in their own way and the Hereford breed is stronger today and in the future because of their contributions given unselfishly to a breed of cattle they truly believed in.” In celebration of their successes, the pair has been awarded Livestock Producer of the Year by the Wisconsin Livestock Breeders Association as well as Cattle Producer of the Year by the Wisconsin Cattlemen’s Association. In 1995, Warren and Isabel were inducted to the Wisconsin Hereford Association Hall of Fame for their efforts as “breeders who have given unselfishly to the benefit of the Hereford breed.” It is our pleasure to honor them on a national level for their commitment to keeping the Hereford breed at the forefront of the industry.

D
istinguished leaders John and Ginger Dudley have left their mark on the Hereford breed in the state of Texas and across the country. In partnership with multiple family members, the pair operates Dudley Bros. in Comanche, Texas, and carries on a legacy of producing commercially focused registered Herefords. Dudley Bros. began as a three-way partnership in 1927 between John’s father and two uncles. The registered herd was added in 1938 and the operation’s first of now 59 annual production sales was hosted in 1962. John, who was born and raised on the
ranch, met Ginger at Trinity University in San Antonio. He later attended Thunderbird School in Arizona and then served in the U.S. Navy for four years. Two years later, John and Ginger married and settled down in Comanche. John and Ginger enjoy spending time with their son, Gardner, and his wife, Elizabeth, along with their three grandsons Will, Thomas and Hudson. Today, Dudley Bros. operates as a family-owned limited partnership with a limited liability company serving as the managing general partner.

mutual support and affection for each other is contagious.” John and Ginger have devoted countless hours serving organizations within the Hereford breed and the cattle industry. John is a past president of the Texas Hereford Association and Ginger is a past president of the Texas Hereford Women. While on the American Hereford Association Board, John was part of the merger committee, and he considers making that initiative a reality the most significant activity he was involved with as a director. His extensive leadership positions outside of the breed include serving as president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. John previously held a seat on the executive committee for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and was chairman of the advertising committee. He was also a chairman of the Texas Beef Council. Arthur Uhl of Powell Herefords in San Angelo, Texas, recognizes John and Ginger as “tireless advocates of not only the Hereford breed, but agriculture, conservation, culture and community as well.” The couple established the Jackson Albert Dudley Scholarship fund and were leaders in forming Friends of Historic Comanche Inc. John was also appointed to the board of regents of the Texas State University System and was an outspoken advocate for agriculture programs in the system’s seven universities. Additionally, he served as director for the Texas Agricultural Land Trust. Longtime friend and peer Jack Chastain, executive secretary for the Texas Hereford Association (THA), says John serves with purpose and sincerity in every role he holds. “John’s passion for the ranch and for the Hereford breed has contributed not only to his personal ranching success but to the success of our Texas Hereford Association,” Chastain says. “His business and political science degrees were most helpful in shaping programs and policies of THA.”

HALL OF MERIT Burke Healey
Southern Cross Ranch, Davis, Okla. he late Burke Healey, or “Mr. Hereford” as he is fondly remembered, is recognized as a visionary of the Hereford breed and the beef industry at large. Burke’s journey in the Hereford breed began in 1950 at the age of 18 when he and his younger brother Skip purchased the Flying L Ranch located in Davis, Okla. The partnership continued through 1988 at which time they decided to bring their children into the operations. It was then Burke renamed his portion to the Southern Cross Ranch. Burke’s children continue the operation today. A respected cattleman, Burke was ahead of his time in recording quantitative measurements and using cutting-edge data to evaluate and to improve his herd’s genetics. One of his most notable achievements is developing the frame score chart, a tool widely adopted by the beef industry.
T
This past president of the American Hereford Association led the way in forming the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program during his tenure on the Board. Peers and fellow directors Guy Colyer, Jack Holden, Vern Rausch and Dale Venhuizen credit Burke as a pioneer in performance testing and as an instrumental leader in the merger of the national horned and polled associations. Burke’s other influential ideas included performance pedigrees and making data available online. As an industry leader, Burke was very active in the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) and was one of the 15 people who wrote the original Long Range Plan for the beef industry. His efforts earned him numerous awards, including the BIF Continuing Service and Pioneer awards, BEEF Magazine’s Trailblazer of the Year and recognition in Bob deBaca’s book Courageous Cattlemen, which described the key influencers of the U.S. beef performance movement. Burton Eller of Virginia, a former executive vice president of the National Cattlemen’s Association, says, “Burke was never afraid to stand up to advocate for a promising new
idea or to defend a tried and true principle. He always had both feet planted firmly on solid ground and was a true thinker for Herefords and for the beef industry.” At home, Burke was very active in community organizations and was often the name behind an anonymous donation supporting the emerging leaders of local 4-H and FFA programs. Roger Stuber of North Dakota describes Burke as “a man who gave more than he got” who was “honest, willing, dedicated to purpose and a true Hereford leader.” Bob Drake, past president of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, remembers Burke as a mentor, teacher and an individual who could relate to every part of the cattle industry. He says, “When we lost Burke Healey, we lost a giant who represented the Hereford industry, all of the cattle industry and all of agriculture.” Although Burke has been posthumously inducted into the Hereford Hall of Merit, his firm belief in Hereford cattle and their contribution to the genetic pool of the nation’s beef herd is a legacy that will continue to live on.

For 50 years in the Hereford business, Bancroft Herefords, Evart, Mich., and Lenth Herefords, Postville, Iowa, were recognized as Golden Breeders for their commitment to the Hereford business. These long-standing operations were recognized in a virtual awards ceremony, Oct. 22, during the AHA Annual Membership Meeting and Conference. “These lifetime achievement awards represent a tremendous milestone,” says Shane Bedwell, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. “The AHA commends the dedication and longevity of these families within the Hereford breed. In a year like 2020, we are reminded of the resiliency and perseverance these breeders have endured over the years to remain in operation.”
CENTURY BREEDERS Sidwell Herefords Carr, Colo.
The modern day Sidwell Herefords of Carr, Colo., was started in Queen City, Mo., by a young man, G.A. Sidwell in 1908. G.A. imported his first cow, Brampton Agnes VI, from Herefordshire, England. His first bull was Columbus Regent. In 1911, the bull, Disturber 4th was purchased in the Des Moines, Iowa, Disturber Sales, where many bulls and females were sold. From 1920-1930, G.A. and his sons hosted production sales at the farm in Queen City. In 1930, Sidwell moved his family to the area in Colorado that now serves as home of Sidwell Herefords. G.A. and his son F.A. hosted their first production sale in 1940, with others to follow in 1945 and 1947. Also in 1947, the Sidwell’s
purchased half interest in Colorado Baldwin from Jeffers in New Mexico and eventually had full possession of the bull. Annual production sales then began in 1953, with many of those sales being referred to as the Home of Colorado Baldwin Sale. F.A. Sidwell continued the family tradition and formed a corporation with his three sons Harold, Walter and Richard. Harold continued with the legacy upon the corporation being dissolved in 1971. Harold strived for top end Hereford cattle. He purchased Britisher 33 from Wyoming Hereford Ranch and mated him to Colorado Baldwin daughters, creating the bloodline Cadets, which were featured in the annual bull sales. The final production sale at the Sidwell Herefords Ranch was the fall of 1981. With that being the final sale year,
production sales spanned 34 years at the ranch near Carr. In 1985, Harold and his wife, Marlene, formed a new partnership with their son, Bryan. With this partnership, the name of Sidwell Herefords would now be five generations. In September 2008, a 100-year celebration was held at the ranch near Carr. Then in September 2009, Bryan married Linda Stangle of Stangle Herefords in Nebraska. To that union, Sidwell Herefords was expanding and changing again. In 2011, Harold was inducted into the prestigious AHA Hereford Hall of Fame. Harold and Marlene, along with Bryan and Linda, operated Sidwell Herefords as a partnership until Harold and Marlene retired in 2013. Bryan and Linda, along with daughter Brooke, who served on the National Junior Hereford Association board of directors as vice chairman in her final year on the board, continue to grow and improve Sidwell Herefords.

Lenth Herefords started with Elden and Bea Lenth along with children Doug and Barb. Over the years, the operation transitioned to Doug and wife, Marilyn, who operate Lenth Herefords today. The original 25 registered Hereford cows and 31 heifers were purchased in the mid ’60s, coming from Lemmon, S.D. The herd has evolved over the years and consists of 80 females today. The cow herd is deep with 10 active Dams of Distinction (DOD) and more than 30 daughters and granddaughters of DODs. The Lenth family enjoy promoting high quality seedstock through their website to drive private treaty sales where they market 40 bulls and 30 females annually. The Lenth family has been very engaged in local and state cattlemen associations and enjoy giving back. Lenth Herefords was honored to be named the 2018 Iowa Seedstock Producer of the Year. Over the last 50 years, bloodlines and cattle body types have changed but many things have remained the same. They have adapted with the times and are still passionate about the Hereford business 50 years later.

planning to get more customers and team members to our local ranches. This was very impactful for our launch of the brand and we will keep it going so everyone can see the incredible work and care that goes into producing the highest quality beef.”
25 YEARS IN THE MAKING Together, Hereford producers, brand partners and loyal customers celebrated 25 years of the CHB brand in 2020. Among the world’s great beef brands, Certified Hereford Beef is found in the nation’s best restaurants and retailers. The brand’s commitment to rich heritage and uncompromising dedication to the Hereford breed have allowed its product to meet and exceed consumer expectations. “The Certified Hereford Beef team is proud to celebrate a brand that continues to evolve and accommodate the demands of consumers worldwide,” says CHB President and CEO Amari Seiferman. “Our commitment at Certified Hereford Beef is to thoughtfully and strategically build a brand that will continue to grow for future generations to add value to Hereford genetics.” In 1995, the American Hereford Association created the Certified Hereford Beef program to carry forward the time-honored tradition of tender, juicy and delicious beef. As Hereford earned a reputation as an ideal breed to produce the perfect steak, CHB
brought that quality into the homes of American families. With consumers adopting high standards for quality in a competitive marketplace, the Certified Hereford Beef brand works strategically to meet their demand and push the beef industry to new heights. Paying close attention to the consumer, the brand has updated and improved its specifications — notably moving to a premium program focused on cattle that achieve upper two-thirds USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Choice or higher. “The creation of the Premium line has allowed CHB to compete with top brands in the industry,” Seiferman says. “It is important to be a trusted source for a quality product, not only to promote the brand, but also to help our customers grow their business.” With 7 million head harvested and a total of 900 million pounds sold, the brand continues to provide a growing opportunity for rural America and a safe and wholesome product for families everywhere. Cattle ranchers recognized long ago that great beef comes from great cattle. Together, we celebrate 25 years of the brand committed to quality and the cattlemen and women who supply it.

For Kaylee, serving as the National Hereford Queen means representing the breed and its struggles, triumphs and history it has endured. “The National Queen is a huge advocate for the Hereford breed,” Kaylee says. “Something else that you know but never truly realized is you are a role model. You have several who look to you in times of need or as an example.” Throughout the journey of running for National Hereford Queen, Kaylee always held tight to one motto she advises future queen candidates to remember. “Always be yourself,” she says. “Always know that you are you and that’s who you are representing. Have fun. There is so much going on so stay grounded to the end goal but enjoy the moments along the way.” Age: 18 Parents: Hoyt and Crystal McInvale Siblings: Avery McInvale, an eighth grader at Lockney Junior High
Where does the queen attend college? Tarleton State University What are the queen’s extracurriculars/hobbies? “At Tarleton State I am involved in the Sigma Alpha Sorority and the Tarleton State Block and Bridle Club. I like to read, watch TV and movies. Other hobbies I enjoy is spending time with family and friends. I enjoy writing notes where I can express my artistic side. I enjoy drawing and painting.” What does the queen study? Animal science and plans to graduate in May of 2024 How long has the queen been involved in the National Junior Hereford Association? Eight years Family history in the Hereford industry: “As a child my grandmother had Hereford heifers. My mom showed Hereford steers. My dad helped and worked for Hereford breeders then started a herd later in life. Currently, we have a small herd with a future to grow. I would say truly I am a secondgeneration Hereford breeder with hopes to have future generations after me.” Princess title prior to National Hereford Queen: Texas Polled Hereford Sweetheart (2015-2017), Texas Polled Hereford Princess (20192020) and Texas Polled Hereford Queen (2020)

Describe your experience running for National Hereford Queen: “This summer when I was crowned as Texas Polled Queen, I started my run for national. After the application was due, I started to get nervous. All of my thoughts were running wild. I began studying and reviewing any information I had gathered throughout this past year to better prepare myself for the test and interviews. Next came the oneway interview. Being able to only see yourself while answering questions was unusual. Going through this was extremely nerve wracking for me. Then before I knew it, the week of American Royal was here! During the week, I would reflect on how well I did. Did I stay true to myself and represent myself and my state? These thoughts ran through my head right before crowning. As names were called, I became more nervous. When my name got called for the 2021 National Hereford Queen, let’s just say I was stunned. I had to blink a few times to make sure I had heard them right.” When did your sights become set on the crown? “I set my sights on the national crown in 2015. According to Barbara Metch, when I was around 5 years old, I told her I was going to be queen one day.” Who inspired you to run for National Hereford Queen? “In 2014, I met the Texas Polled Hereford Queen, Jena McCall, and she talked about the royalty program and all it has done for her and many others. In 2015, I served as a sweetheart and fell in love with all aspects of being a part of the royalty. In 2016, I met my first National Queen, Taylor Belle Matheny. I was able to work with her at the Fort Worth Stock Show, doing this I learned so much from her and she truly inspired me. There have been several Texas queens who have pushed me along the way as well as many national queens. They all have had some sort of impact on my life as a Hereford kid or as royalty.”
Hereford.org
What advice do you have for future princesses running for the National Hereford Queen title? “Push through. There will be times that you wonder why you are even running or some self-doubt, but keep pushing through. Just be yourself. There is a reason why you are in the position you are. Embrace it.” What are your goals as the new National Hereford Queen? “My goal as National Queen truly is to continue the legacy and uphold the standards set before me. I want to continue advocating for Herefords and the agriculture industry. I want to help continue improving the Hereford breed.” What makes the Hereford breed special to you? “The Hereford breed is special to me because it is where I found my family. I have made so many lifelong friends and have grown to love the Hereford breed. It is special because every day the breed finds new ways to improve or to help make us as people better.”

2020 ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING & AMERICAN ROYAL COVERAGE
DEICHMANN RECOGNIZED AS HEREFORD WOMAN OF THE YEAR
Jewell Deichmann, Central City, Neb., was named the 2020 National Hereford Woman of the Year.
T
he National Hereford Women (NHW) named Jewell Deichmann, Central City, Neb., as the 2020 National Hereford Woman of the Year. According to her peers, Deichmann is an example of what the NHW represents. She is always promoting the breed, networking with others to make everyone feel welcomed and supporting Hereford as well as the youth. Deichmann saw a need for an organization that was different from a state breed organization. This organization would also promote the breed at a grassroots level but offer networking for women and others and support youth already interested in Hereford cattle or wanting to be involved in the Hereford breed. As a result, she helped start the Nebraska Pollettes in the early 60s and was a founding member of this organization. She held every office and served on all the committees. Her leadership skills helped the organization flourish and become one of the largest state pollette chapters.
52
| December 2020
Deichmann was also involved in writing the Nebraska Pollette constitution and bylaws, which later were used as a template for several state pollette organizations. Deichmann is the mother of five children: Debbi, David, Deanna, Denise and Darwin. All three of her daughters were state queens. Her oldest daughter, Debbi, was one of the first Nebraska Pollette queens in the Nebraska Polled Hereford organization. When the Deichmann children were showing cattle at fairs in Nebraska as well as participating in Junior National Hereford Expo events, everyone knew that if they got hungry, they could always find their way to the Deichmann kids’ show box for healthy snacks and drinks. She often informally became host of showbox lunches. Deichmann was also a person who made sure other youth that were showing, were told they did a good job. In the late ’60s and early ’70s, when the Nebraska Junior
Polled Hereford Association was being formed, Gordon and Jewel Deichmann, along with other breeders under the leadership of the first advisor, Calen Frenzen, were instrumental in helping get the organization started. Their children were all on the board and held offices in the organization. Despite her children being grown and most of the grandchildren living out of town, she still attends many sales, shows and events like the Nebraska Hereford tour with her husband. She has maintained over 50 years of membership in the Nebraska Pollettes and Hereford Women of Nebraska. The board and membership of the Hereford Women of Nebraska feel that Jewell is deserving of being honored as the 2020 National Hereford Woman of the Year. She is a great example of the National Hereford community and membership.

HER OWN CROWN Melanie Fishel, Belews, N.C., wore her crown to serve, lead and inspire. by Melanie Fishel, 2020 National Hereford Queen
T
o say serving as the 2020 National Hereford Queen was a dream come true would be an understatement. As a fourth-generation Hereford breeder, I grew up with a love for the land, Hereford cattle and the people involved who quickly became family; but, never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have this opportunity nor would I have grown so much as a person. The role of the National Hereford Queen is to serve as an ambassador for the breed and to act as a role model for others. Although I came into this position with excitement and an understanding of my role, I did not realize how much the Hereford breed would give back to me in this short year.
True to my passion I have learned how important it is to stay true to yourself. Miss Rodeo Wyoming put it best when she said, “There’s a reason we get a crown and not a glass slipper. A glass slipper is firm and solid; it either fits you or it doesn’t, with no flexibility to conform to you. A crown, however, is one-sizefits-all. The crown has the ability to fit whichever head it is placed on.” Each National Hereford Queen receives her own crown and each National Hereford Queen has the opportunity to make this role her own. This crown can be worn by anyone who is willing to work hard, has a true passion to represent the Hereford breed and exhibits a love for the people and heritage this great breed encompasses. Although we have all faced our fair share of challenges this year, I have so much for which to be thankful. Since October of 2019, I have attended more than 20 events as National Hereford Queen from Raleigh to Reno and Denver to Jackson. I have met people from all over the globe from whom
Hereford.org
I have learned while also sharing my Hereford story, whether that be with an RFD-TV reporter, an international Hereford breeder, a stranger on the plane or a young showman who wonders why anyone would wear a crown and a white dress to a cow show. These memories are ones I will cherish forever. I would like to thank my family and friends who were there every step of the way with unconditional love and support. Thank you, Hereford breeders, for making me feel so welcome at every show and sale I attended and for your encouragement throughout the year. Thank you to the National Hereford Women, Hereford Youth Foundation of America and the American Hereford Association for all you do to make this program the best of its kind in the industry and for providing this opportunity to young leaders in agriculture. I will miss wearing the white boots, but I look forward to continuing to play an active role in the Hereford breed and am forever grateful for this opportunity.

Animal Welfare Isn’t a Dirty Word by Dave Sjeklocha, DVM
W
hat does animal welfare mean to you? Oftentimes, the phrase “animal welfare” gets taken to the extreme and is confused with animal rights. In fact, blurring the distinction between animal welfare and animal rights is an aspiration of some organizations. In a nutshell, animal welfare supports the use of animals for food, clothing, entertainment and experimentation, as long as humane practices are followed. Animal rights does not support those uses of animals, even if humane guidelines are followed. The debate centers on how one may define the term “humane.” If there is a common consequence to poor animal welfare, it would be stress. All animals are exposed to stress, even wild animals. By virtue of this, we can look at our operations and identify those practices that stress our cattle, and work to eliminate or reduce those stresses. Some of the more obvious practices would include painful procedures, weaning (for both calves and cows) and cattle handling. My all-time favorite football coach, Bill Snyder, developed a fairly well-known list he called “Wildcat 16 Goals for Success.” I’m sure most successful coaches have similar lists. Many have taken Coach Snyder’s list and adopted it for their own purposes. There are two goals on that list that can be applied in nearly any environment. Goal #4 is “Improve — everyday…as a player, person and student.” And Goal #6 is “Self-Discipline — Do it right and don’t accept less.” Let’s apply these to animal welfare: Improve — Everyday…as a caregiver, person and student of animal welfare. Occasionally, when I bring up the subject of animal welfare to my clients, I am asked something along the lines of,
“Do you think I’m abusing my animals, Doc?” To which I respond, “No, but do you think there is any way your animal welfare can improve?” Looking for the low-hanging fruit can often yield very positive results. Weaning, for example, is a very highstress situation for calves and cows alike. As we scrutinize the weaning process, look for opportunities to improve on the stress levels of calves. Each farm or ranch will most likely have its own unique opportunities. Is the weaning pen wet or muddy? Perhaps drainage could be improved, a mound could be built or bedding could be provided to facilitate a dry place for the calves to rest. Are there weaning techniques to reduce the stress of separation? Fenceline weaning has been shown to reduce weaning stress1. Some producers have also implemented a preweaning separation program in which, a couple of weeks prior to the actual weaning date, the calves and cows are separated from each other for one or two days and then allowed to pair up again. This allows the cattle to accept separation more readily when true weaning occurs. Beyond this example, the larger point is to evaluate your current procedures, whether it be weaning, marketing, pain management, etc., and ask yourself, “Is there any way I can improve on this?” Self-Discipline — Care for your cattle right and don’t accept less. One of the great benefits of being a cattle producer is the camaraderie and cooperation with neighbors and fellow cattle producers. I was fortunate to work in areas where ranching families helped each other vaccinate and brand their calves in the spring, prior to turning out to grass for the summer.
Years ago, I had a client and good friend who had taken over the management of a ranch, and when the spring herd work began, the neighbors came over to help. As they put the cows through the chute for vaccinations, my friend saw the neighbor putting cattle in the tub and overfilling it. As a result, the electric prod was being overused. My friend went to the neighbor and offered some advice on how to correct the situation. The neighbor, who was considerably older than my friend, responded by saying, “I’ve been doing this for longer than you’ve been alive, Sonny.” My friend shot back, “Well, you’ve been doing it wrong for longer than I’ve been alive, then!” It caused some hard feelings, but they got over it. The tub was filled correctly from then on and electric prod use was virtually non-existent. My friend set a standard and refused to back down. Once you have determined there are common practices to improve, it is vitally important to have the discipline to follow through on those improvements — and not accept less. Initially, it may cause some angst amongst friends, coworkers and even family, but the key is to stick with these “new ideas” and make them become old habits.
Animal Welfare is not a “dirty word.” Again, please don’t confuse animal welfare with animal rights. These two phrases have completely different meanings with completely different goals. One of the keys to success in any field is to constantly look for ways to improve. Animal welfare should be no different. As you consider your cattle practices and procedures, make a habit of asking, “Is this the best I can do?” Editor’s note: Dave Sjeklocha, DVM, is a technical services veterinarian for Merck Animal Health.

Hereford Eve Pick of the Paintings Hereford Youth Foundation of America’s (HYFA) Pick of the Paintings will debut in Oklahoma City, during the Hereford Eve sale Jan. 8. The proceeds from the two oil canvas paintings will benefit the education and leadership mission of the HYFA, and the top bidder will receive “Coming Over the Ridge” their pick of these one-of-kind masterpieces from New Zealand. This spring at the World Hereford Conference, the HYFA travel scholarship team discovered these original works of art in the Gallery of Fine Art in Queenstown, New Zealand. At that moment, the group knew they presented a unique fundraising opportunity for the youth foundation and are so excited to give Hereford enthusiasts the chance to support scholarship and educational “My Territory” opportunities just like these youth were so fortunate to have received. New Zealand artist Angela Maxwell hails from Auckland and her oil paintings focus on stockman and cattle, with breath-taking views of the South Island landscapes. “Coming Over the Ridge” and “My Territory” speak for themselves with pick of the paintings going to the highest bidder in the Hereford Eve frozen genetics sale.
Alyssa (Fee) Copeland Copeland and Sons Herefords LLC Alyssa Copeland of Copeland and Sons Herefords LLC, Nara Visa, N.M., is instrumental in the operation’s success.

He believes the Hereford industry has incredible value, and is honored to be a part of the breed. He spends countless hours in the barn raising and managing his herd and completing day-to-day operations. Over the last decade in building his operation, he has devoted considerable time to studying genetics and matings to breed some of the most elite females and influential bulls. Kyle has been successful at some of the largest national shows, including the NWSS, North American International Livestock Expo (NAILE), Keystone International Livestock Expo (KILE) and JNHE, along with exhibiting previous show heifers and show bulls of the year. Kyle and his family exhibited the 2019 NAILE reserve champion Hereford bull and the 2019 KILE reserve champion bull and bred the 2020 NWSS reserve champion polled female. Kyle’s work ethic, respect, integrity and accountability are second-to-none. He ensures his customers have the best experience in the showring and provides them with great genetics to make exceptional breeding pieces.
Zach Wells No stranger to hard work, Zach Wells exemplifies the qualities of a true cowman. He and his wife, Shelby, live in Oskaloosa, Kan., where Zach runs a custom-fitting service. He also helps his fatherin-law and brother-in-law manage a recipient herd. This Texas native is a natural in the showring and learned many valuable lessons from his father, Tom — a past Angus and Chianina Herdsman of the Year. In 1999, Zach began exhibiting Angus and Red Angus heifers at Texas majors and national shows. Since then, he has never been a stranger to the showring. His successful showing career took off with his champion bredand-owned Angus heifer at the 2004 NWSS and has continued with the success of LAR Annsley 843 ET, the champion polled female at the 2019 JNHE and both the junior and open shows at the 2020 NWSS. Zach’s dedication and attention to detail has earned respect from the industry — a sure mark of a Hereford Herdsman.

• Joe has been on us for years to bring a good bred to the national sale and we think Pearl fits that bill. Pearl is cool necked and smooth shouldered with tremendous depth of body, rib shape and mass that is unparalleled by none. Her sire, Munson, is becoming one of the more popular bulls in the breed as he is producing consistent low birth weight calves that are making great females as well as top herd bulls. Her dam is a daughter of the famous Olivia that was a past National Champion Female. We were excited when the genomics came back and she was homozygous polled and went down on birth weight and up on yearling weight increasing her huge spread, while still maintaining balance in her other numbers as well. Study her teat size and placement, we think she will have a flawless udder and be destined for the donor pen. Pearl checks all the boxes so don’t miss this opportunity.

• If you are in it for the Long Haul, I would take a serious look at Lady 739. We have focused on balance in our mating decisions and this checks all the boxes. Balanced EPDs, great birth to YW spread, top 15% of breed in sustained cow fertility, BMI$ and BII$. Top it off with a royal pedigree from the proven producer of herd sires Churchill Lady 002x and the Sensation son NJW Long Haul 36E that hits all the marks of his popular sire 028x and then some. Phenotypically, she is ideal in a lot of ways; length of body, smooth shouldered, big hip, great set of feet and legs that can get out and move. This fall heifer has unlimited potential and one to consider if you are looking for a foundation female. • Will be bred to BG LCC 11B Perfecto 84F with sexed heifer semen for a September calf. Breeding/calving date will be updated for sale day. Updated photo and video will be available on our website and social media. We are retaining two (2) flushes at seller expense and buyer convenience for a minimum of six (6) embryos per flush.

All calves will be born in January 2021. • Salsa’s ability to combine a perfect udder with a power cow look and cap it off with her EPDs and homozygous polled status positions her as an elite cow in the breed. She has written and rewrote donor history in Courtland, by consistently producing numerous high selling heifer calves and bulls. Her first calf Jalapeno was on her side when she won purple as a cow-calf pair at NAILE. Jalapeno later sold in our bull sale and has gone to work for Journagan Ranch and Missouri State Univeristy, Reynolds Herefords and Jim Reed, MO. • We would appreciate the pick to be selected by April 15, 2021.

PICK of LOT
BULL PEN
• We are elated to offer the pick of our 2021 pen. This pick will include the top end of an incredible flush to two-time Denver Supreme Champion, BR Belle Air 6011, to our no miss 410 donor. 410 has produced two of the top young females in our herd with outstanding udder quality as well as the popular pick out of our 2018 Denver pen by Ehlke Herefords: Bar Star Magnitude 737. These flush mates are big ribbed, powerful, sound moving cattle, that are colored right for the times and have the milk, carcass and indexes to set them apart within the breed. If you have been waiting for a smooth polled Belle Air son with something that is not quite as mainstream on the bottom side, here is your chance. • To make things interesting we will also be including as part of the pen and pick, a March ET son of Magnitude out of the big-time producer 84B cow purchased from NJW. She has produced over $150,000 in progeny sales starting with her first calf, NJW 84B 10W Journey 53D, at $50,000 and continued her fame on with the $55,000 2019 NJW high seller, NJW 84B 4040 Fortified 238F. 036 has a big-time herd bull type build, in a smooth polled, high WDA package. • Videos will be available at www.barstarcattle.com

• This mating with National Champion Polled bull “Double Your Miles” and “Bailee” simply works. This female was held out of our 2020 fall female sale because we wanted to offer a really good one in the National sale. She is a full sister to 8105. She was the high selling female in our 2018 sale at $99,000 and went on to be named Champion Polled Female in Fort Worth 2020. 9331 blends so many good things into one package. She is put together extremely well and we feel she has as much potential as any to excel in the showring. She is perfect on the ground and is hard to fault. If buyer desires we would be interested is showing this female at Junior Nationals summer of 2021 before she will calve. SHE WILL BE BRED TO THE HOTTEST YOUNG SIRE IN THE BREED GENESIS. Updated breeding information will be available sale day.

This is quite possibly the best and most uniform set of bulls we’ve ever raised here on the ranch. We think enough of them that they will make up our Carload of Bulls in January. • HH Miss Advance 0041X ET has long been known as a proven herd bull producer as well as foundation females. She is a top daughter of the $175,000 5139R donor cow. She is big bellied, deep ribbed, huge topped, well-marked, great uddered and extra fancy. As mentioned, 0041X has produced many sale topping young herdsires for Holden Herefords. Most recently, her ET son HH ADVANCE 9033G ET sold to Coleman Herefords and Cooper Hereford Ranch in the 2020 Holden Herefords Bull Sale. • Flushing 0041X to CL 1 Domino 215Z was an absolute no brainer. He is arguably the most exciting L1 bull in recent years due to his outstanding carcass performance. Earlier this year, his progeny data came back from the National Reference Sire Program at Olsen Ranch. Of the 21 head harvested, they graded 100% Choice, 86% Upper 2/3 Choice and 14% Prime.

• I can without a doubt say, The Brothers, are two of the best animals to have ever been raised on this place. They are both so unique and similar in several ways, yet still different in terms of what they can do for operations that are moving in opposite directions with their sellable calf crops. Like their sire, T/R BPF Americanclassic 561C ET, they’re both stout, powerful bulls who hit the ground with good feet and legs. Along with that, they can still grab your eye with the way they carry themselves across the pen. We are expecting an immediate impact in next fall’s calf crop. Moving forward, we are extremely excited to see what they can do in our operation and others alike.

Weathering the Storm —
Iowa’s Derecho Hereford breeders come together to clean up a storm with destruction so widespread it is seen from space. by Katie Maupin Miller
W
hen Craig Jackson rounded the corner leading to his family’s Mechanicsville, Iowa, farm, his heart sank. Jackson Hereford Farms has been a cornerstone of the breed since 1890, yet a massive Midwest storm, known as a derecho — a widespread, fast-moving thunderstorm complex with straight-line wind damage — laid
waste to generations of hard work on Aug. 10, 2020. The devastation was so extensive and overwhelming Craig almost looked away. The family’s gabled barn, once a recognizable landmark, was strewn across the road into neighboring pastures and fields, concrete silos reduced to rubble, and grain bins blown several yards away.
The “Home Farm” where Buell and Helen raised the fourth generation of Jacksons, including LeRoy, Ron, Gary, Arlen and Loren. After the storm several of the Jackson family’s buildings, barns, silos and sheds were destroyed or heavily damaged. Yet, the houses on the homesteads stood strong.
96
| December 2020
Hereford.org
Craig rode out the freak summer storm at his home in town, but his sister, brother and nephew were all caught in the derecho, and their tales are harrowing. Nicole Jackson Ehler and Brad Jackson met at Nicole’s work to finalize some farm paperwork when they received the news that strong winds were on the way. Brad headed to the farm to check on their father, LeRoy, and Nicole rushed to finish things up at the office. Nicole pulled out of her workplace in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, right as the storm sirens went off; yet the sky was remarkably calm. The brunt of the storm hit when she was on the interstate. Nicole gripped her steering wheel and feared for her life as gusts reaching speeds greater than 120 miles per hour blew for nearly an hour. She’d been on the phone with Brad, and he said things were getting really bad at the farm before the line went dead. Brad and his nephew, Jacob, had to seek shelter in a house at their middle farm as the wind gusts and debris became too great before Brad could reach LeRoy. As they started down the basement stairs, the door blew open and exploded into a shower of glass. The two huddled in the basement to weather the storm. “It felt like the house was going to be gone because you could hear the wind coming through the house,” he says. “Things were moving; you could just hear it and feel it.” When the wind slowed, Brad went upstairs and was shocked by the devastation he found. He tried to describe it to his brother Brian Jackson, but it was nearly indescribable. “I remember Brad calling me and telling me it was hard to imagine how bad it was,” Brian says. “Until you drive out there to see, you couldn’t describe it to me.” Their father, Hall of Fame Hereford Breeder LeRoy Jackson, rode out the storm in his easy chair, but the siblings think a higher power protected him. A grain bin flew between Leroy’s home and a barn, scraping the corner of the house, before it came to a rest along the show heifers’ pasture fence.
After the storm The Jackson siblings surveyed the swath the storm cut through their farm. It leveled several buildings, toppled trees and rendered grain bins and silos unsalvageable. Yet, the oldest registered Hereford herd west of the Mississippi survived unscathed, and the family unharmed. While thankful, the siblings were overwhelmed with clean up, and then people started calling, texting and showing up. In all, around 60 volunteers helped the family pick up the pieces of their farmsteads, including many fellow Hereford breeders. Hereford.org
Brian, Brad, LeRoy, Craig and Nicole represent the fourth and fifth generations of Jacksons to care for the oldest registered Hereford herd west of the Mississippi. Even after the storm, the sixth generation is ready to continue this family tradition.
Marvin Krapfl of Earlville, Iowa, is a longtime family friend to the Jacksons. The worst of the storm missed his farm, but he was eager to help in its wake. “I snuck down there, and they were busy with end loaders tearing everything out. I knew I could work alone, where they had some heifers. Nails were sticking up, and the cattle were stepping on them and stuff. I got some tools out of my truck and started cleaning up boards with nails,” he says. Krapfl is keeping one of the family’s herd bulls for the winter as the Jacksons rebuild their barns and shelters. Charly Rife practically grew up with the Jackson siblings, spending hours perched on the family’s showbox. He rode out the storm under a scissor lift at a construction site in Cedar Rapids as the wind stripped the metal off the building. Still, he was shocked when he pulled up to Jackson’s farm. “The first thing you noticed when you came up to the homeplace, there used to be a big, grand barn that was sitting there … but to see it down to the foundation was just mind-blowing,” he says. “[The Jacksons] have been around a long time, and … to see so much history and legacy be taken out at one time is hard to even put into words.” With all of this support, the Jacksons found a way forward. Seeing how many people believed in their family, their cattle and their mission kept them going. “We grew up with this breed, and we grew up with this farm,” Craig says. “It almost looked insurmountable after this storm, and then people showed up and started helping. We decided we can’t give up if people won’t give up on us. We have to keep going.” One of Nicole’s friends set up a t-shirt fundraiser to donate shirts to volunteers who helped the family clean up. They read, “stronger together,” which is a sentiment the Jacksons have lived by for the months following the storm. continued on page 98... December 2020 |

...Iowa’s Derecho continued from page 97
Steve Landt’s shed was recently rebuilt from a 2014 wind storm, only to be destroyed by the derecho. Due to the widespread damage, contractors and supplies are in short supply, and building costs have skyrocketed in the area.
Steve Landt’s corn crop was among the 3.5 million acres flattened by the storm. Now, the cattleman wonders if it is safe to turn his cattle on stalks like he usually would. Such management decisions can have a long-lasting impact on producers.
“The last couple of months have shown me that we are ‘stronger together’ as a family, a community, and a state,” Nicole says. “We are blessed and fortunate to have so many people in our lives who have given hours of their time and energy to help us pick up the pieces (literally). We can’t say or give enough thanks for all the support we have had. I do believe that this will make us stronger and better in the future.”
In the path The Jackson family was not the only Hereford breeders in the path of the storm. The 2020 derecho was the costliest thunderstorm in modern history. It affected 3.5 million acres of corn and 2.5
The Heck family lost around 150 trees in the storm. It took several days for the family to clear the debris from their driveway, and Amanda Heck says it could take two to three years to remove the downed trees from their 40-acre farm.

million acres of soybeans in Iowa, and its path of destruction was so broad it was visible from space. Steve Landt of Union, Iowa, was also caught in the storm on his way home. He had to turn around five times trying to find a way home which wasn’t blocked by trees, powerlines or debris. The shed they had rebuilt in 2016 following a 2014 wind was flattened, as were his crops and more than 30 mature trees surrounding his homestead. The family had to take their car — the only vehicle which was not damaged — through pastures and fields to piece together fences. A neighbor was kind enough to help on a farm they rented. She used panels from her kids’ 4-H sheep projects to patch holes in Landt’s fence. In the following days, countless volunteers — friends, family and friends of friends, showed up to help the Landts clean-up from the storm. Unfortunately, during clean-up, they discovered some cows killed by falling trees; yet Landt is fortunate none of his family were harmed. Although they are on their way to cleaning up, Landt expects the storm to have a “long tail.” Building costs have already doubled in the area due to the widespread damage, and contractors are in short supply. Most say rebuilding will take years, not months. “All you can do is analyze what happens to you and pick up the pieces of the puzzle,” he says. “We’re lucky to be able to do it. Look at people with diseases or something that they can’t do anything about it. You have to look at the other side and think there will be a better day.” Amanda Heck rode out derecho at her pediatric practice in Tama, Iowa. Her typical fiveminute commute took more than six times that, as she kept encountering debris in the road. Finally, Hereford.org
Crystal Blin and Lyndsy Trotter of Chilled Freezer Meals worked together to deliver 100 meals and gift cards to farm families impacted by the derecho.
Crystal Blin used her social media @CrystalCattle to raise funds and awareness of the derecho’s widespread destruction. She also used her hands to pitch in and help people clean up after the storm.
Heck drove through someone’s yard to skirt a tree and made it home. When she arrived at their 40-acre farm, she had to leave her car on the road. Their once picturesque, oak-lined lane was all uprooted and unpassable. While none of their cattle were harmed, the Hecks had around 150 trees down and were without electricity for nearly two weeks. This seemed like an almost unfair blow, as Amanda’s father had passed away from pancreatic cancer just weeks before the storm hit. However, the family’s faith and the support of so many friends gave them hope. “I was truly impressed with how many Hereford people reached out to us even more so than our other acquaintances. Even people we only see two or three times a year were reaching out to us,” she says. “It says great things about the Hereford organization and the families involved in it.”
With help from friends When Crystal Blin of Independence, Iowa, saw the devastation on social media, she knew she needed to help. The longtime blogger and ag influencer, @CrystalCattle, took to the Internet to garner support for Iowa farmers with her social network. “I have repeatedly seen the power of social media. Whether you’re growing a business, spreading news or helping a cause, it is an incredible platform that can give you a widespread network,” she says. Blin set up a fundraiser through her Stella & Dot and Keep Collective jewelry business to raise Hereford.org
funds to help those struck by the storm. Fellow “ag-vocates,” including Meredith Bernard @ThisFarmWife, Natalie Kovarik @NatalieKovarik and Angie Supple of @ThePinkPigBoutique followed suit, raising both funds and awareness. Between the women, their online fundraising efforts raised around $14,000. Blin wrote checks to local groups organizing storm relief and reached out to Lindsy Trotter of Chilled Freezer Meals to purchase meals for those impacted. In total, the group distributed more than 400 meals to 100 Iowa farm families, proving no task is too large when you have a little help from your friends. In addition to the online fundraisers, Blin got her hands dirty cleaning limbs in small towns and used beef raised by her and her husband Jon on their Hereford farm, JJB Cattle Co., to feed tacos to 100 people who had also been impacted by the storm. Blin’s helpfulness is a reflection of the heart of Hereford breeders and rural Americans across the country. “I think in general, any opportunity we have to put others ahead of ourselves, whether it is in our day-to-day life or in a tragic event is the right path to follow,” she says.

ACT’s Playbook

Organize the Essentials in Your Business Use a priority matrix to make great strides in 2021. Crisp weather, a warm fire in the hearth, harvest winding down, holiday time, and the opportunity to start working toward new goals — these are all great things we enjoy as the sun sets on yet another year. The best ag business owners know not to let Q4 slip by without making some serious progress toward 2021. I would argue it is this quarter more than any other that sets up our entire next year for success — or sluggishness. With that in mind, this month I’d like to share a system to help you look closely at your farm and ranch business, the tasks you perform, and your workload. It’s called the Essential Priority Matrix.
lines on it — one horizontal and one vertical. Literally, this thing is ‘talk it over on the truck bed’ simple. Yet, it is actually very powerful in what you can accomplish by using it. By looking at tasks, activities, projects, meetings, events, marketing, or just about anything you can think of related to your cattle business, you can decide several very important things just by placing items in the matrix boxes.
Priority #2: Items that are low value and low maintenance These are often things that don’t really matter but you do just because it’s always been done -we all know that working in multi-generational businesses creates plenty of fodder for this! These items may not have the potential for improvement and may need to be evaluated for the necessity to continue.
Simple strategy to begin
Priority #3: Items that are high value and high maintenance These things are frustrating! They are important but not very efficient and these are ripe for improvement. The goal with these items would be to change how they are done and get them over to Priority #1.
Consider the graphic of the Essential Priority Matrix below and fill in business or operational tasks in each of the boxes using the following instructions:
What is a matrix and why use it?

From the Field In Passing Gene C. Meitler, 71, Lucas, Kan., passed away Oct. 2. Gene was born in Lucas, Kan., on Aug. 8, 1949, son of the late Gene Meitler Norma (Thaemert) and Armin Meitler. He was a farmer, rancher and owner/ operator of Heartland Hay in Lucas, Kan. Gene is survived by a daughter, Crecia Reeves, of Russell, Kan.; two sons, Darris Meitler of Lucas, Kan., and Clint Meitler of Sylvan Grove, Kan.; a sister, LuBell Adams of Ellsworth, Kan.; a brother, Neal Meitler of Wales, Wis.; and seven grandchildren. Roelena Lee Venhuizen, Belgrade, Mont., 94, passed away Oct. 6. Roelena was born on Feb. 9, 1926, to Jacob and Lena Roelena Feddes near Belgrade, Venhuizen Mont. The fifth of six children, she attended Belgrade School for 12 years, after which she attended Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich., for one year. After completing her education, Roelena taught at Manhattan Christian School for a number of years. On June 5, 1947, she married John Venhuizen. They were blessed with four children: Judy, John, Donna and Dale. They farmed in the Three Forks area for a few years, and in 1958 they purchased the farm south of Manhattan, where Roelena resided for the rest of her life, except for the last two years when she moved to Parkhaven Retirement Home. Roelena took an active part in the farm life and was an excellent partner for her husband. She enjoyed participating with John in the Montana Hereford Association and the American Hereford Association. She and John developed good relationships with others in the Hereford business and traveled to many different countries.
108
In the ’60s, Roelena took courses at Montana State University to upgrade her education so she could go back to teaching part-time. She did this for a few years, but then chose to return to 100% farm life. Roelena and her husband were always very involved in church and Manhattan Christian School activities. They were also charter members of Bethel Christian Reformed Church. She is survived by son and daughterin-law, John and Barb Venhuizen; daughter and son-in-law, Donna and Jake Stelpstra; and son and daughterin-law, Dale and Nancy Venhuizen. She was blessed with 10 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren, plus one more on the way. She is also survived by one sister-in-law, Nell Feddes. She was predeceased by her parents; her husband, John Venhuizen; her daughter, Judy Venhuizen; and son-inlaw, Robert Allen, as well as two sisters and three brothers. Roelena’s life was best portrayed by her love for her Lord, her husband and her family, as well as for the church and school. She loved visits from grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was always very engaged with school and church activities that involved her grandchildren. She was a huge support for them, always attending sports and musical activities, as well as attending big events like graduations and weddings. The last number of years of her life she became more strongly dependent on her Lord. She spent much time in prayer and reading her Bible, running with endurance the race that was set before her, looking to Jesus, who was the founder and perfecter of her faith (adapted from Hebrews 12:1-2). Ralph E. Gushee, 84, Fryeburg, Maine, passed away Oct. 7. Ralph was born at home on his family’s dairy farm in E. Conway, N.H., to
| December 2020
Raymond and Helen (Webster) Gushee on Sept. 18, 1936. Ralph graduated from Fryeburg Academy in 1954 and went on to graduate from Thompson School of Agriculture at UNH with an associate degree in animal science. Ralph married Elaine Bennett in 1957, and together they had five children. Ralph, a man who wore many hats, was best known for his work with dairy and beef cattle across the United States and Canada. Throughout his lifetime, Ralph worked with Bill Baker and Ted Langdell Auctions and Hanover Hills Sales and Service, fitting cattle and working as a ring man. He worked the Dream Street Sale in Syracuse, N.Y., where the first record cow was sold, and worked for Brigeen Farms, Turner, Maine, where he worked with Jack Decoster. Moving to Farmington, Maine, in the late 1970s, Ralph started his own Pro Fitting and Cattle hauling business. He worked at Arethusa Farm in Litchfield, Conn., where he especially enjoyed working with Veronica, the Jersey cow. Ralph also found time to be a member of the North Fryeburg Fire Department from the mid-1960s through the early 1970s. Ralph fit and showed animals at Maine fairs; Maine State Dairy Show; CT Black and White Show; eastern states expositions; World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis.; the Royal Winter Show, Toronto, Canada; as well as showing in Harrisburg, Pa.; Louisville, Ky.; and Timonium, Md. While working at Buzzell Bros. Herefords, he showed registered horned Herefords across the United States and registered Herefords for Powisset Farms and Millborn Farms, riding a boxcar with cattle between Waterloo and Chicago. Ralph loved cattle and loved sharing his knowledge with his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and all those he met along the way. A 4-H leader for many years, he mentored many 4-H members on the feeding, caring, washing and fitting, plus, teaching them Ralph Gushee how to show. Ralph started the Hereford.org
Oxford County 4-H Beef Club and was one of the founders of the National Belted Galloway sale being held with the Maine Beef Expo. All of Ralph’s children and grandchildren followed in his footsteps, showing and fitting cattle at some point in their lives. Along the way, Ralph managed to help with classifications and taking pictures of cattle in the U.S. He was featured on the cover of Holstein-Friesian World, Jan. 10, 1967, and received the Klussendorf-MacKenzie Award at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis., in 2006. He also was the first recipient of the New England Holstein Association Caregiver Award in 2017. Ralph is a member of the Eastern States Dairy Hall of Fame and was elected to the Maine Beef Producers Hall of Fame in 2016. Cattle was not Ralph’s only interest though. He also worked for Maine Maple Products with Raymond Titcomb. Ralph entered his syrup one year at Toronto’s Winter Royal and was awarded Reserve Grand Champion in maple syrup. When Ralph left Arethusa Farm, while in his 70s, to return home to Fryeburg, he went to work for Fryeburg Fair in the Maintenance Department, mowing and keeping up the grounds during the spring and summer months and then cleaning and putting the fair to bed for the winter. Ralph loved Fryeburg Fair and took pride in his work there. During “Fair Week,” Ralph could be found working at the end of the pulling ring at his spot dubbed “The Perch.” There he made sure that oxen and draft horses were able to cross safely and that no visitors to Fryeburg Fair got hurt. Ralph, while in hospice, managed to still “participate” in the Fryeburg Fair, keeping up on the beef auction and such. More recently, Ralph could be found working with George Liberty, who held a very important spot in Ralph’s heart, at George’s farm in Gray, Maine. Ralph lived a full life and worked hard right up to the end. He loved what he did and shared what he learned. Gone is “The Best Cattleman that anyone will ever know,” but the lessons and stories he shared with us will carry on for generations to come. Ralph is survived by: children Cindy Gushee of Harwich, Mass.; Joline Gushee (Tim) of Freedom, N.H.; Diane Hereford.org
Gushee of Fryeburg, Maine; Stephen Gushee (Celeste) of Boyce, Va; and Barbara Gushee of Fryeburg, Maine; grandchildren Raymond Gushee (fiancé Roslynn) of Waxahachie, Texas; Hattie Blye (Ricky) of Albion, Maine; and PJ Clair of Fryeburg, Maine; Shannon Bussard and Spencer Bussard, Va.; his great-grandchildren Bowen and Brock Blye with whom he cherished spending time; sisters Mona Dodd (companion Bill Phipps) of Yarmouth, Maine, and Lee Ann Vokey (Harry) of Westbrook, Maine; and his special Aunt Louise. Extended family members Randy and Rodney Hall of East Dixfield, Maine; Meg Hall, Caleb Hall and Amanda Hall; Kyle Jenson, Ashley Field and many other stepgrandchildren, great-grandchildren, and step-great-great-grandchildren, along with nieces and nephews. Hazel B. Mead, 87, Midville, Tenn., passed away Oct. 9. She was born in Millen, Ga., to the late Jesse W. and Nora R. Burke.

In the News Chaney Twins’ New Book Honored Rebecca, Sheridan and Rianna Chaney are proud to announce book nine in the Chaney Twins’ Ag Book Series, which was recently named the 2021 “Ag Book of the Year” by the Wyoming Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers. Better Together... Digging It with Dairy & Beef, Building Healthy Bodies & Brains will be the final book in their series. This book combines their loves, the beef industry and the dairy community while highlighting the nutritional benefits of both beef and dairy products for all ages. It also focuses on the good care farmers and ranchers give their animals, including housing, health care and nutrition. It is a win/win for so many people! The easy-to-read text and beautiful color photos from a Wisconsin dairy farm and Nebraska cow-calf ranch illustrate the incredible pride and hard work farmers and ranchers put into producing a healthy and wholesome product to feed people in America and overseas. From birth to milking to market-ready beef cattle, raising well-cared for animals on balanced diets is key. This book also gives dairy and beef nutritional facts to help encourage people and youth to eat healthy and to incorporate more milk, dairy products and lean beef into their diets. The Chaney Twins’ books have won multiple awards for ag literacy the past 12 years in dozens of states. The 2021 Wyoming Farm Bureau Ag Book of the Year marks the fourth time for the Chaney’s to receive the award since it was established in 2005, being honored in 2013, 2016 and 2018. Sheridan and Rianna have launched their own website, ChaneyTwinsagBooks.com. They write short blogs to promote their books and share photos to educate followers about agriculture. To order the new award-winning book, the complete nine-book bundle or to learn more about the Chaney’s mission in ag education, please visit RebeccaLongChaney.com or call 240-446-4557.
