The Best in History

Hereford-sired calves at Voigt Ranch, Beulah, N.D., add pounds, docility and fertility. by Diane Meyer

t is a classic “Come Home to Hereford” tale if there ever was one. In west-central North Dakota, Don Voigt bought some land, and in 1971, Voigt Ranch came to life. Back then, Hereford cattle were the natural choice to stock the ranch. Casey Voigt, who inherited his dad’s love for raising cattle, took over the ranch in 1996. He kept a small herd of baldy cows, but eventually switched to an Angus-based cow herd. About 12 years ago, Casey decided he needed to add more vigor to his calves. “I wanted to go for heterosis, so Herefords were a natural choice for crossbreeding because of my father’s upbringing with the Hereford genetics,” Voigt shares. He began buying Hereford bulls and out-crossing on his black cow herd. “I can remember as a little kid going with my dad to a Regina [Saskatchewan] bull sale and buying Hereford

bulls,” the cattleman recalls. “I always felt a tremendous amount of pride that my dad had in the quality of Hereford bulls he was buying.” Now, as the manager of 5,200 acres and a 350-head cow herd, Voigt emulates his father’s management and pride in raising good cattle.

Keep adding After 12 years of crossbreeding, Voigt has added nearly 75 pounds of weaning weight to his steers, which are marketed in fall video auctions. Calving dates have been pushed to April to market a younger calf crop. Calves that used to weigh in at 600 pounds are now shipping in the 670-pound range. “It would be hard to truly add up all the benefits of the Hereford cross,” Voigt says. “We’re getting more vigor at birth and better dispositions in the cows. continued on page 26...

Breed Focus

On Target

by Jack Ward

A commitment to improvement drives demand for Hereford‘s efficiency, fertility and docility.

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

Many of you are heavy into calving, preparing for production sales and thinking about breeding decisions. Each of these activities creates a level of excitement and anticipation and provides an opportunity to evaluate how breeding decisions affect herds and meet customer needs. Before writing this column, I reflected on the last three years of February columns I have written, and this is what I found:

• In 2018, I talked about the

American Hereford Association’s (AHA) upgrade to a weekly genetic evaluation utilizing Biometric Open Language Tools (BOLT) software. This evaluation utilizes pedigrees, phenotypes and genotypes to produce genetic values. In addition to the new software, the AHA added the dry matter intake (DMI) and sustained cow fertility (SCF) traits to its evaluation.

• In 2019, I reviewed genetic trends in the beef industry and in the Hereford breed that have allowed producers to raise more pounds of beef with fewer cows. Paired with proper health, nutrition and weaning programs and

technology, these genetic changes improved the efficiency of the entire beef cattle cycle and the Hereford breed. Our membership has done a great job utilizing all tools for improved efficiency.

• In 2020, I discussed the National

Reference Sire Program and its role in identifying great, young sires in the Hereford breed. Both Stahly Ranches, Cavour, S.D., and Olsen Ranches, Harrisburg, Neb., have been cornerstones of this program. All data from the then 20-year-old program feeds into the AHA’s genetic evaluation, like data from seedstock producers. This evaluation has set the Hereford breed apart by identifying genetics within the breed that will make a true difference.

In this issue These three points continue to be valuable tools for AHA members and their customers to make improvements in economically relevant traits. Commercial producers recognize the value of crossbreeding for both direct and maternal effects to drive profitability.

As seedstock producers, it is imperative for us to understand the needs of our customers and to produce the genetics they need. Beyond data collection is the grassroots value of diligent selection for disposition, conformation and feet and leg soundness. In this issue, you will find stories from commercial producers who utilize Hereford genetics, and some who have added Hereford genetics to their cow herds. They understand the value crossbreeding with Hereford genetics brings to their programs. As commercial producers continue to “Come Home to Hereford,” seedstock producers must stay committed to genetic improvement. Casey Voight of Voight Ranch, N.D., says it best, “The F1 [first generation] Hereford-Angus cross cow is the best cow in history.” In addition to the baldy cow, you will also learn about how Wayne Wilhelm, Texas, utilizes Hereford genetics to produce F1 calves that function well in their tough environment. Keep your eye on your target, and the Hereford breed will continue to see growth and demand.

During 2021, EFBeef celebrates our 73rd anniversary in our current location, offering polled Hereford bulls to commercial cattlemen. We are also proud of the fact that we are a 7th generation family outfit celebrating our 139th year of seedstock Hereford production. It all started in 1883 with the purchase of two registered cows and imported sire, Beekjay Hero. The EFBeef program has never wavered from producing real world, functional cattle that are expected to excel in the commercial sector, returning net profit to their respective owners. You can expect your purchase at EFBeef to be backed by a guarantee that has stood the test of time, 139 years’ worth. You can expect your purchase to be genetically bred for the U.S. beef marketplace.

Good looking, functionally productive females, all EFBeef genetics, doing good work for our customers. We make foraging momma cow genetics designed to raise a calf and get re-bred when mother nature applies her environmental pressures.

Performance Matters

Find Your Match

by Shane Bedwell

Study the results from the 2019-born calf crop at Olsen Ranch to identify a sire to fit your program.

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.

As we head into spring, I would like to congratulate the spring 2020 Platinum and Gold Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™ ) breeders for committing to improving the breed. Turn to Page 10 and 12 to see who achieved Gold and Platinum TPR breeder status. Results are in from the 2019-born calf crop at Olsen Ranch, Harrisburg, Neb. This operation’s commercial cow herd is a 22-year participant in the American Hereford Association’s

(AHA) National Reference Sire Program (NRSP). Through partnerships with various test herds like Olsen’s, breeders can make better informed decisions relative to traits of interest and identify young sires that can positively affect the marketplace.

gain (ADG), feed to gain (F:G) and adjusted feed to gain (Adj. F:G). Adj. F:G accounts for animal live weight. Table 2. This table lists the complete performance results from birth to harvest by sire group. Note, the two distinct sire groups were analyzed separately because the first calf heifers were managed differently from the mature cows. Consequently, two separate contemporary groups were formed, and data should only be compared within the group. Table 3. Phenotypic averages complementing the phenotypic averages in Tables 1 and 2 are displayed in Table 3. In large, the performance of the sire groups was quite phenomenal when you study the gain and conversion aspects of the business. These cattle performed well and held up to the trademark efficiency advantage of Hereford genetics. The grain market is pushing upward and this trend is something to have in the back of your mind when purchasing bulls this year. Just as impressively, these cattle graded 71% upper two-thirds Choice and did so with a Yield Grade 3.7 on average. Between the two groups, you will note a decided difference in hot carcass weight (HCW). This is explained by the more favorable nutrition plane the first-calf heifers received after calving when compared to the mature cows. Nutrition is vital at all stages, but it is amazing how a higher nutrition plane for roughly 30 days after calving makes a significant difference. Similar trends have been noted before in different contemporary groups at Olsen Ranch.

Table 4. The expected progeny differences (EPDs) are displayed for the sires used in the Olsen test herd. The data includes all the observed post-weaning phenotypes and reflects the genetic evaluation released Jan. 18. As you study the data, I am quite confident you can find a bull excelling in multiple traits. I encourage you to reach out to the breeders of these genetics and inquire about germ plasm or sons they are marketing this spring.

Join the NRSP The AHA is seeking nominations for the NRSP, an industry-leading program for producers to test young sires in a commercial setting. Participating sires reap the benefits of acquiring high-accuracy carcass EPDs and performance data. Breeders can also leverage a sireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in the NRSP as a marketing tool. The AHA is always interested in building on the already impressive group of NRSP test herds. Test herds gain access to progressive germ plasm from some of the leading Hereford herds in the U.S. If you are interested in becoming a test herd for the NRSP, please contact Shane Bedwell at sbedwell@hereford.org. Nominations are due March 1. Visit Hereford.org/genetics/ breed-improvement/nrsp/ for full program details and to complete the online application.

Spring 2021 Platinum TPR Breeders

Fifteen Hereford breeders achieved the Platinum Total Performance Records (TPR™) Breeder status for spring 2021. The Platinum TPR program was established in 2018 to recognize breeders who participate in the Association’s Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program implemented in 2001 to create a more accurate database and to increase the value of Hereford genetics. The Platinum TPR Breeder is the highest level of achievement when it comes to complete calf-crop reporting. Breeders must meet all of the

requirements of Gold TPR Breeder status plus genotype 85% of their calves with a weaning weight submitted. The Platinum TPR Breeder awards are designated two times a year and are awarded each calving season. The selection of Platinum TPR breeders takes place during the process of loading each new run of expected progeny differences in January (spring) and July (fall). The criteria for Platinum TPR breeders will be evaluated two years prior to the award year. The following spring 2021 TPR awards reflect the spring 2019 calving season evaluation.

The following Hereford breeders earned Platinum TPR status this spring: GEORGIA Hardy Edwards, Winterville

Spring 2021 Gold TPR Breeders Eighty-one Hereford breeders achieved Gold TPR™ (Total Performance Records) status for spring 2021. Established in 2005, the program pays tribute to breeders who go the extra mile to collect data at all levels of production and report the data in a timely manner. The Gold TPR Breeder recognition is presented to progressive Hereford breeders who have measured traits and collected and promptly submitted performance data at all levels of production.

The Gold TPR Breeder awards are designated two times a year and are awarded each calving season. The selection of Gold TPR breeders takes place during the process of loading each new run of expected progeny differences in January (spring) and July (fall). The criteria for Gold TPR breeders will be evaluated two years prior to the award year. The following spring 2021 TPR awards reflect the spring 2019 calving season evaluation.

2021 Beef Improvement Federation Annual Meeting & Research Symposium June 22-25, Des Moines, Iowa The Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) and Iowa State University are excited to host the 2021 conference at the Iowa Events Center, Des Moines, Iowa. Join progressive cattle producers from around the world to experience how Iowa provides the beef industry with “Innovation to Application.” Visit Beefimprovement.org/symposium for more information.

Submit NRSP nominations The AHA is seeking nominations for the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP). This industry-leading program allows producers to test young sires in a commercial setting. Participating sires reap the benefits of acquiring high-accuracy carcass expected progeny differences (EPDs) and performance data. Breeders can also leverage a sire’s participation in the NRSP as a marketing tool. See Page 8 for results from the 2019-born calf crop at Olsen Ranch in Harrisburg, Neb., a 22-year test herd for the NRSP. Nominations are due March 1. Visit Hereford.org/genetics/breed-improvement/ nrsp/ for full program details and to complete the online application.

Fertility research Fertility is critically important to both commercial and seedstock breeders. The University of Missouri is recruiting 2,500 Hereford heifers and 2,500 Red Angus heifers to participate in a heifer puberty and fertility genomic research project — adding to a data set of 6,000 Angus heifers. Heifers should be registered Hereford, registered Red Angus or commercial Hereford or Red Angus. Hereford-by-Red Angus crossbred heifers targeted for the Premium Red Baldy program are also a good fit for the research project. This study aims to improve genetic/ genomic predictions for puberty and fertility of heifers by collecting DNA samples and relevant phenotypes, specifically relating to pubertal status and date of conception within the breeding season. This project is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s Animal Reproduction Program. Red Angus and Hereford producers interested in heifer puberty and fertility research can visit Blog.steakgenomics.org to learn how to get free genomicenhanced EPDs by participating in the project. Contact Jared Decker at deckerje@missouri.edu with questions.

Youth HYFA partners with Ghostwood Distilling Co.

Marketing programs It is never too early to start thinking about marketing options for your calves. The AHA has three marketing programs available for Hereford and Hereford-influenced calves. Hereford Advantage — Use this program to increase added market power and brand recognition with feeder cattle sired by a Hereford bull battery ranking in the top 50% of the breed for the Certified Hereford Beef profit index (CHB$). Feeder cattle enrolled in this program, through IMI Global, must also be source and age verified, have current BQA certification and vaccination program documentation. Maternal Advantage — This program generates commercial replacement females with added longevity, more docility, increased fertility and more profit per year. Participating herd bull batteries must rank in the top 50% of the breed for Baldy Maternal profit index (BMI$) if used on British-based cows or the top 50% of the breed for the Brahman Influence profit index (BII$) if used on Brahman-based cows. Premium Red Baldy — This program is designed to take advantage of the best traits of both Hereford and Red Angus breeds and provide commercial producers with premium replacement females. Females enrolled in the program must be sired by bulls in the top 50% of the breed for BMI$ if Hereford or Profitability and Sustainability Index (ProS) if Red Angus.

During the inaugural Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) announced an exciting new partnership with Ghostwood Distilling Co., Bozeman, Mont. This business is eager to help the next generation of Hereford producers, and every purchase supports HYFA’s mission of scholarship and education. Ghostwood offers a unique, blended bourbon whiskey from founder Lucas Perks. Through March 1, 2021, enter discount code “HYFA” at checkout to receive $5 off your order at Shop.ghostwoodwhiskey.com. Proceeds from these sales go toward HYFA and Hereford youth. HYFA would like to thank Club 21, Naples, Fla., for purchasing the first bottle of Ghostwood in the Hereford Eve sale in Oklahoma City, as well as Doug and Wade Perks of Perks Ranch, Rockford, Ill., for bringing this fundraiser to life.

DNA Sampling Guide

by Laura Loschke

DNA testing is vital for improving the beef industry. The American Hereford Association (AHA) requires DNA testing on any sire born on or after Jan. 1, 2011, from which calves are registered. Donor dams from which

HAIR

calves are registered must also have DNA on file. As you head into spring calving season, keep the following tips on collecting DNA in mind to help the process go smoothly.

BLOOD CARD

Sampling suggestions The AHA allows four types of testing samples for DNA submission: hair, blood card, semen straw and tissue sample unit (TSU). Review the tips below for each sample type to follow

SEMEN STRAW

ollect hair from the tail switch of the animal. Be sure to pull the hair sample; do not cut it. You will need to collect 80–100 strands to make sure the lab can obtain a result. This may seem like a lot of strands, but hair is easily broken and the strand may lack a good follicle or may be contaminated. Try to make sure the hair is clean of manure, mud, bodily fluids, etc. It is best to wait until the animal is at least weaning age before taking a hair sample. Samples taken from young calves generally do not have a lot of follicles, making it difficult to get results.

emen straws can be used to collect DNA samples for bulls. Straws can be stored at room temperature for shipping and do not need to be refrigerated. Be aware, though, that semen straws break easily. An ink pen is a simple solution to protect semen straws during shipping. Simply pop the top off an ink pen, pull out the ink chamber, then put the semen straw in the pen. The plastic exterior provides protection for the straw in the mail. A padded envelope works, too, and is recommended to use even when mailing samples have been placed in a protective case.

DNA sample pricing Genomic profile: $42 Full package (genomic profile plus horned/polled [H/P] testing): $58 Add-on H/P test: $30 Mandibulofacial Dysostosis (MD) test: $20 stand-alone; $13 in combination with genomic profile Tissue Sampling Unit (TSU) credit: $4 To order TSUs and applicators directly from Allflex, go to Allflexsa.com/products/dna-sampling/tissue-sampling-unit/. To order TSUs and applicators through the AHA, fill out the online form at Hereford.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ TSU-Order-Form.pdf. Mail the completed form to eartags@hereford.org.

Don’t forget All samples should be sent in with the corresponding DNA submission form for the specific animal. Obtain forms from the AHA before sending the samples to the lab. Make DNA requests through MyHerd or contact AHA Customer Service. If samples are received at the lab without the proper AHA paperwork, the samples will not be processed.

| February 2021

Genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) are no longer printed on the DNA results statement. Due to the weekly evaluation, the GE-EPDs have the ability to change frequently. However, GE-EPDs can be found online at MyHerd or the EPD/animal search function on Hereford.org.

TISSUE SAMPLE UNIT (TSU)

o collect a blood sample, draw blood using any method deemed desirable and fill the blotting paper section of the card with blood. Saturate the card just enough to fill the circle, but not enough to make the card soggy. Too much blood can cause a “bad sample” result from the lab. Insert the blood card lid into the top slit, so there is room for air to flow. Allow the card to dry at room temperature in a clean area. Do not use a heating source for drying. Once dry, open the lid and insert it into the bottom slit for storage or shipping. Blood card samples can be collected at any age, so these are a better option than hair to test a young calf. Blood cards can be purchased from the AHA for 50 cents each, with a minimum order of 10 at a time.

the best practices when obtaining and mailing DNA samples. Sample collection resources can be found online at Hereford.org/genetics/ dna-testing/?tab=sample-collection.

Please keep in mind GE-EPDs will not appear until two weeks after the AHA receives DNA results. For example, if the AHA receives a DNA result March 1, the GE-EPDs for that animal will be released March 15. Having trouble navigating MyHerd? Visit Hereford.org/member-services to view over 20 tutorials explaining the ins and outs of MyHerd, or contact AHA

great option for taking samples, TSUs use an ear punch to replace tail hair, blood or semen samples. Still, like all sample types, they are not fail-proof. To collect a tissue sample, you need the proper equipment: tissue sample tubes and a tissue sampling applicator. (Refer to the “DNA sample pricing” sidebar for information on how to order TSU equipment.) Samples can be collected at any age; however, the sample should not be taken immediately after birth. The calf may still have fluids on it that will contaminate the sample. Give the calf at least a few hours to “dry off.” Before taking the sample, wipe the ear clean with a dry cloth or paper towel. Do not use any cleaning products to clean the ear because they could contaminate the sample. Try to collect the sample from a portion of the ear without a tattoo because tattoo ink can also contaminate the sample. Press the white cap of the sample tube down firmly to ensure liquid cannot escape. As with semen straws, it is important to properly protect TSUs during shipping. Send samples in a padded envelope or another form of protective casing. They should not be sent in a regular envelope, as they puncture the envelope and fall out during shipping. Often times, envelopes arrive at the lab with a submission form, but no sample.

A Healthy Edge

by Trey Befort

In December, another year of the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) two feedout programs kicked off at HRC Feed Yards in Scott City, Kan. This year marks the fifth National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout and the second AHA Hereford Feedout Program. Both programs provide participants with great opportunities to learn about the risks and rewards of the cattle feeding industry. Participants also receive valuable information about the genetic merit of their cattle entries. Entries for the Fed Steer Shootout came in at 133 head from 41 NJHA members in 15 states. Participation for this year’s Hereford Feedout Program came in at 162 steers from 11 producers in eight states. I commend the youth and adult producer participants for their efforts to send cattle from across the country to participate in these programs, and we look forward to developing a great educational experience for all involved.

| February 2021

Healthy cattle advantage With a few years of these feedout programs under our belt, we can study the data for insights on enhancing quality and increasing profitability. An important topic to review is the effect of animal health on performance and profitability. In a feedout program review webinar held Sept. 23, 2020, we looked at the effects of health on the performance of NJHA Fed Steer Shootout cattle throughout the first four years of the program. (A recording of the webinar is available on Hereford.org/commercial/programs/resources.) The accompanying graphs compare performance and value of cattle treated for illnesses compared to healthy, untreated cattle. As you can see, healthy cattle averaged 37 pounds heavier at harvest, had 34 pounds of additional hot carcass weight, nearly one point more of dressing percentage and brought $70 more per head in carcass value. These documented advantages of healthy cattle in the feedyard are

great examples of the importance of a solid vaccination program. If you are retaining ownership in your calf crop through harvest, health protocols translate into real dollars to increase profits. If you market your calf crop as calves or yearlings, it is still critical to provide healthy cattle to the marketplace, as it could be the difference in having repeat buyers and consistent demand for your cattle.

Pick your protocol It may seem obvious that healthier cattle perform better and have increased value, but there are many producers who have not implemented a good vaccination program to set cattle up for success when they head to a backgrounding or feedyard environment. As we get into calving season and start preparing for spring vaccinations, it is a great time to put a plan in place. Consulting your veterinarian is always a great place to start, as there are many differences in health needs for cattle

located in the various geographical regions around the country. There are several great vaccination protocols available. Turn to Page 76 to review the various value-added health programs identified by Superior Livestock Auction (SLA) in the article “Value-Added Premiums $50 Per Head, Data Show.” Producers interested in participating in the Hereford Advantage feeder cattle marketing program are also required to give cattle a minimum of two rounds of vaccinations preweaning. Find more information about participating in this program and vaccination protocol recommendations at HerefordAdvantage.com. Regardless of what protocol you follow, the bottom line is a vaccination program can return great value and improve the marketability and performance of your cattle.

Making the Best Next Move

by Allison May

If you are reading this, you have successfully navigated the first full month of 2021. Congratulations! With last year’s challenges in the rearview mirror, we have lots of reasons to celebrate and look forward to good things to come. Now that we are on a direct path to spring, it is time to get serious about planning for what comes next. With many of us still knee deep in battling winter weather and getting new babies safely on the ground, it may be hard to switch mindsets to think about the next phase of production.

Spring ahead Before making any decisions, it is important to take stock of your program as it stands now. What is working for you and your family or business partners? What do you think can be changed or improved? Is your current calf crop going to meet the needs of your buyers or replacement program? A favorite piece of advice I try to keep in mind during these discussions is to not lose sight of the forest for the trees. (Many thanks to my collegiate judging coaches for repeatedly pounding that saying into my head!) This mindset has many applications, and in the case of cattle selection, it reminds us not to fall into the trap of single-trait selection. In other words, do not focus so much on one area to improve or remove that you lose ground in other important areas. As we identify strengths and weaknesses in our programs in relation to available resources and goals, it is critical to avoid chasing right-now trends and a single physical or genetic attribute. Working in

the advanced reproductive field, I frequently see this mistake in programs that consistently push hard for, let’s say, carcass traits. Selecting for carcass traits may fill a certain need for you, but at what cost? Do you inevitably sacrifice fertility or longevity traits at the same time? Also, keep in mind the decisions you make today will not result in a return on your investment for quite some time. This is another good reason to make sure you choose the next step wisely! Luckily for all of us, we have an organization full of tools and resources to help us when making decisions this spring to keep moving our programs forward. Standard expected progeny differences (EPDs), genomic-enhanced EPDs and indices are gaining accuracy all the time with the submission of more real data into the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) database. What’s even better than all of that data? The Hereford community! When you start your spring purchasing or breeding decisions, reach out to trusted breeders, AHA field representatives, etc., to help you

gain the knowledge you need to make the best next move. To join and to learn more about the NHW, visit HerefordWomen.com or email nationalherefordwomen@gmail.com.

...The Best in History continued from the cover

As history shows, the F1 cow has been predominantly the best mother in all of the cattle industry. — Casey Voigt

Casey Voigt’s father had 40 years of experience running Hereford cows. “My siblings were all very excited to see me bring Hereford genetics back to the ranch,” Voigt shares.

People from feedlots where I’m finishing my steers tell me they are firm believers you also get better immunity. So to add up all those benefits, you just keep adding.” In particular, the first generation (F1) crosses from mating mature Angus cows to Hereford bulls yield the best results in weight gain and fertility. “When it comes down to the cows, the F1 Hereford-Angus cross cow has been predominantly the best cow in the industry,” he says. He points to the calving ease and docility of his cows as proof. In his 350-head herd, he only pulled a couple calves during the most recent calving season — and all due to breech. Most importantly, Voigt says, “The big draw for me to cross Hereford on Angus was to get a better disposition, and that shows up in the cows for eternity.” When it comes down to bulls, he sources Hereford sires with moderate frame size that add muscle mass, depth of rib and muscle definition. He looks for bulls ranking in the top-10% of the breed for Certified Hereford Beef profit index (CHB$) to attract as many buyers as possible who are willing to pay a premium for his steer calves. “The ultimate goal is to try and get the heifers to bring as much money as the steers,” he says.

He also follows a vaccination routine. At June brandings, calves receive a 4-way vaccine with presponse and a 7-way vaccine with somnus. Growth implants are also given at that time. Come fall, calves are preconditioned for four to five weeks prior to shipping and receive another round of 4-way and 7-way vaccines. Always looking for new opportunities on the horizon, Voigt’s intermediate goal is to develop a market for his F1 replacement heifers. With an already diligent herd-health program, he is also looking to market steer calves through the American Hereford Association’s Hereford Advantage program. Above all, Voigt and his wife, Julie, hope to pass their love for the cattle business to their daughter, Leah, and son, Casey Lane. With the help of Hereford genetics, Voigt hopes to leave a successful operation for the next generation. “I take a lot of pride in seeing what the quality is and how many improvements we make over the years,” he says. “I think crossbreeding with Hereford bulls has been one of the best decisions I’ve made over the years.”

A better cattleman It takes more than optimum genetics to get a herd in top shape. As one of the first producers to go through the Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) certification program through North Dakota State University, Voigt has been following BQA guidelines for about 25 years.

| February 2021

Voigt gives credit to the extra heterosis from crossbreeding the two British breeds for positive weight gain in calves.

Hybrid Vigor Hard at Work

Hereford genetics overcome drought conditions in the Texas Panhandle. by Ariana Bigham

n mid-December, patches of snow pattern the flat grasslands outside of Tulia, Texas. Farm dogs Bentley and Ozzie look out across the field as a characteristic West Texas dust trail follows the pickup down a county road. In striking contrast to the rest of the dry landscape, the wheat pasture is green and luscious for the grazing cow-calf pairs. These Hereford-by-Red-Angus-cross heifers sparked Wayne Wilhelm’s interest in the advantages of a crossbreeding system, and his program has only grown from there.

From crops to cattle Raised in a farming family in Nazareth, Texas, Wilhelm did not grow up rearing cattle. After attending trade school, he returned to West Texas to farm, although his dad wanted all 10 kids to take their own paths. Wilhelm explains, “It’s in my blood. It’s all I ever wanted to do.” After some rough years hit the family, he started farming from nothing. He began custom farming and occasionally ran stocker cattle on wheat pastures over the winter. At one point, Wilhelm ran as many as 4,000 head on winter wheat but did not focus on his own cattle business until after the drought of 2011. Nearly 10 years later, he has built a herd of 1,300 cows and 60 bulls. “I always Hereford-by-Red-Angus-crossbred females’ milk and mothering ability allow them to consistently wean heavier calves for Texas cattleman, Wayne Wilhelm.

Hereford-influenced hybrid vigor provides increased productivity and longevity in Wilhelm’s drought-pressured commercial cattle operation.

had a few cows, but I never thought I would get this big,” he says. He attributes this growth to redhided genetics.

From black to red Wilhelm started with 100 Black Angus cows on 1,500 acres. When he became serious about the business, he bought cows from South Dakota and Montana. While researching on the internet, Wilhelm came across red baldy females from Olsen Ranches in Harrisburg, Neb. — and he was hooked. “When I saw Olsen’s cattle, I knew that was the direction I wanted to go. I saw the potential and wanted the advantages of hybrid vigor in a crossbreeding system.” Since making the switch from black- to red-hided cattle, the cattleman has been sold on the immediate advantages of those red baldies. The heifers have proven good mothers and good milkers with good disposition. “If you leave a gate open, you don’t have to worry about them running down the road because they don’t run; they walk,” Wilhelm laughs. In a commercial setting, the first generation heifers from Hereford-by-Red-Angus matings bring the total package: cows with calving ease and calves with growth. Adding to this package, red-hided cows have a longevity of nine to 10 years Cattleman Wayne Wilhelm (pictured) aims to continue his crossbred program with a full set of red females in the future. in the herd, and Wilhelm cites a 25- to 30-pound advantage in weaning weights in their calves. Although no one has taken up his offer, Wilhelm is not Wilhelm buys 100 bred heifers every year, discouraged. He points out that his niece is in health and nutrition specifically first-calf heifers to calve in September. Those calves are and that industry is promoting beef and the safety of genetically weaned mid-March, and cows are bred in June to get on a spring modified organisms. calving cycle. This results in two calf crops: 300 fall-born calves Like many self-made men and the agriculture community and 1,000 spring-born calves. before him, Wilhelm shows the outcome of hard work, To continue the benefits of crossbreeding, Wilhelm breeds the determination and perseverance. Looking forward, Wilhelm hopes red baldies to 30 Black Angus bulls and keeps 30 Hereford bulls to continue prospering in the Texas Panhandle with a full set of to go on the black cows. Like most commercial operations in the red cows and reaping the advantages of a crossbred program. Texas Panhandle, Wilhelm sells his calves at the local sale barn, which for him is the Tulia Livestock Auction.

Thin water Water is a scarce resource in the precarious Ogallala region. For Wilhelm, limited water has been a fun challenge to overcome. “It’s neat to see what you can accomplish, to see what you can do with just a little,” he says. To combat the drought, Wilhelm has an intensive rotational grazing system. With 9,000 acres of his own land and another leased 5,000 acres, Wilhelm has roughly a 20-mile stretch where cattle can graze. Wilhelm capitalizes on Environmental Quality Incentives Program funding from the Natural Resource Conservation Service, which helps purchase cross fencing to create the grazing infrastructure. In the unpredictable, drought-prone area, the benefits of crossbreeding are crucial to maximize the potential of rotational grazing. “I usually put the calves weighing 550 pounds on wheat. Wheat is a high-protein, high-energy grass so cattle gain well on it. … We can get 3 to 3.5 pounds a day on winter wheat,” he explains. He adds, “Herefords do not get as heat-stressed as the black cattle.” When spring calves are born in April and May, they weigh 850 pounds by the following February. “The industry has come a long way in producing low-birth-weight calves with high-growthgenetics,” Wilhelm praises.

Building ground In Wilhelm’s words, disconnected consumers are the biggest challenge cattle producers face. “There is a lot of misinformation out there, and people want to believe anything negative,” he says. “We need to get the message out there that we’re doing the best we can, and we’re treating the cattle right.” Wilhelm and his wife, Melanie, who trains horses and is also involved in the industry, do their part to try to start the conversation with consumers. “My wife and I own a house in Costa Rica, and we always challenge our neighbors to visit the farm and see how we do things,” he shares.

Merge DMI with Other Desirable Traits Selecting feed-efficient cattle can reduce costs and increase outputs. by Bruce Derksen

t is critical all types of cattle producers not only provide the right volume of feed to their animals but also provide the correct amount of essential nutrients. One way to understand and calculate this is to reference dry matter intake (DMI). When 30 pounds of feed is provided and eaten, 30 pounds is the total intake. When moisture is removed by conditioning and drying, the DMI portion remains. If the 30 pounds is a generic silage ration of two-thirds moisture and one-third dry matter, the actual DMI is 10 pounds. While the 30 pounds would be bulky and rumen filling, only a third of it would contain the essential nutrients required. If a similar animal is fed 30 pounds of a high-grain ration containing only 20% forage, when conditioned and dried, this ration

| February 2021

might equal 25 pounds of nutrientrich dry matter. Both animals received 30 pounds; but one is being sustained, and the other is deficient. DMI also relates to individuals with a higher or lower consumption than their counterparts, while maintaining the same health and body conditioning. Daniel Loy, professor of animal science at Iowa State and director of the Iowa Beef Center, says the ability to select dry matter and residual feed intake has shown a gradual increase in DMI, matching a higher trend in yearling weights. A typical feedlot closeout 35 years ago might have shown a 20-pound DMI. Now, it’s not unusual to see anywhere from 25 to as high as 29 pounds per animal. Individual measurements can be obtained by using manufactured smart feed efficiency testing

systems from companies such as C-Lock Inc. or GrowSafe Systems®. Electronic scanners mounted on scaled systems identify animals with a radio frequency identification tag (RFID) and calculate consumption, average daily gain, conversion and other measurements.

Using DMI selection in conjunction with other traits Loy believes it is a valuable piece of data broken down to an individual basis, but it needs to be spread out over numerous other trait measurements. “If just selecting for low dry matter intake, we’re probably going to reduce growth rate and perhaps some other production values. We need to keep those in mind as every herd has a different starting point.” Generally, the most efficient cattle will eat slightly less than their

counterparts, but it is a fine line on which to focus. “There must be enough intake to maintain body condition and do the business of reproduction. It’s not something to single-trait select, but with the knowledge of where we are with individuals we can make progress.” Jeff Clark, business development and sales representative for C-Lock Inc. agrees and says his time working on the commercial side of the fence opened his eyes to benefits of DMI and feed conversion when combined with other desired phenotypical traits. “For the cow-calf guy, paying attention to this can be very profitable because there are genetics proven to maintain on less input. But it’s important we’re still selecting females with fleshing ability. As we select for feed-efficient animals, we’re inadvertently selecting for those putting muscle on quicker than fat, because fat weighs less than muscle. They’re gaining weight with less feed.” For Clark, it’s a combination of traits and data to be assessed. Check the weaning and yearling weights, calving ease of the bull and milk production of the cows. Numerous factors create a balancing act. “Just selecting for lower DMI can lead to the loss of performance cattle. Weaning weight might go down along with other things of that nature.”

Variability between diet, breeds and individuals According to Loy, DMI’s relation to diet is another critical aspect to consider. For example, he points out common Midwestern finishing diets might consist of 10% or 15% roughage. When increased to 20%, it is likely the cattle will simply eat more and gain the same weight. When roughage levels are increased exponentially, physical fill will begin to restrict intake. In high-grain rations, energy content will become the upper boundary. “On the high-energy diets, there are really two signals for when cattle stop eating. One is the physical ability to consume the feed and could be limited by fiber in the diet, digestive rate or moisture, and the other is a chemical factor that says, ‘I’m full.’ It’s like having a plate of candy bars and a plate of salad. We’re probably going to stop eating the candy bars before we stop eating the salad.” While Loy believes DMI and conversion vary between breeds, more deviation occurs between individuals. In a 5-year, 10 U.S. university study, he participated in examining the genetics of feed efficiency and intake. Their geneticists found genes involved in separating variations in DMI and conversion were different from breed to breed, and it was important to evaluate on this basis. Hereford.org

Clark explains the Hereford breed is already known for fertility and longevity, and when females within the breed display these desired genetics, there is a great opportunity. Adding heterosis gained from crossbreeding provides a subsequent increase in feed productivity. “When using an efficient Hereford bull on Angus cows, the potential is tremendous with the added heterosis. If added into the mix, it plays well into multiple traits.”

Research and trials In a 2018 trial, Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service beef cattle specialist with the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (DASNR) Dave Lalman said he and other scientists from Oklahoma State University (OSU) set out to determine if they could reduce annual maintenance costs with Herefordsired, black baldy cows compared to straightbred Angus females. In a crossbreeding system, the second breed could be chosen for traits and characteristics to reduce costs or improve income. This is known as “breed complementarity.” In this trial, black baldy cows, the result of Hereford sires (known for lower feed intake) and Angus females were measured against straightbred Angus cows. Research and trials had previously indicated an improvement in longevity and fertility plus weaning weights in simple two-breed crossbreeding systems, but Lalman was curious whether input costs could be reduced by using two complementary breeds. Results showed the black baldies averaged a better body condition score than the straight Angus cows plus maintained better body condition. “On average, we measured just under 2 pounds per day less moderate quality forage intake in the crossbred cows. On an annual basis, the black baldies would be expected to consume about 725 pounds less forage.” As a result, he believes simple, planned crossbreeding systems using complementary breeds can reduce the cost of maintaining a herd and increase ranch output through improved longevity and fertility.

Loy agrees the variation between animals can be large which opens the door for capitalization from a selection and management standpoint. He likens it to how early selection for improved marbling in carcasses by using ultrasound significantly increased the percent in Choice and Prime grades. “Having the same knowledge for DMI will eventually [improve] our feed conversion in the same manner. To get there, we have genomic tests, but they must be informed by a phenotype such as weaning weight or marbling score. The genetics will continually evolve and change with the help of seedstock producers collecting the needed individual phenotypes.”

Combining displayed phenotypes with genomics Clark explains DMI productivity can be added to a commercial herd by selecting bulls high in efficiency balanced with other desired traits such as longevity and fertility. If the capability is available to run potential heifers through a tester, he recommends this practice as well, as he believes genomics will only go so far. “True displayed phenotypes are the best way to make decisions, so if we’re buying feed-efficient bulls, and have heifers to put on test every year for about 76 days, that’s ideal. Bulls on these tests vary by up to 25% in conversion from top to bottom. If we can spread it out over the cows and reduce consumption by 25% a year, it adds up quickly to increase stocking rates.” Hereford.org

The Time is

With DNA, it is always best to start early and give each area of Figure 1 a little extra time — potentially saving yourself and others unnecessary stress and frustration. We have taken each step and translated it to an expected business day and turnaround time, outlined in Figure 2.

Now

Follow this timeline to get your DNA results back in a timely fashion. by Leoma Wells

opular TV shows such as “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” lead us to believe we can receive results within minutes of inserting DNA by collecting one lone hair follicle feeding it into a machine. Unfortunately, that is not how it works. As former President Abraham Lincoln advises, “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” The truth is, seedstock producers can no longer afford to procrastinate until the last minute. Imagine missing out on a potential sale or breeding opportunity simply because the DNA was not completed on the animal. Adjust calendars to accommodate testing expectations and even add additional time in case there is an unexpected delay. Any opportunity to add value to an animal is beneficial, whether it is to be sold or retained.

Standard timeline and steps When it comes to DNA testing, the earlier you submit samples the more likely you will capture the full value of your investment. There are simple steps each breeder can follow to submit your DNA samples and receive results in a timely fashion (see Figure 1). Say you absolutely need results posted by March 19, 2021, to finish your April sale catalog. Assuming all American Hereford Association (AHA) submission instructions are followed, you should submit samples for testing no later than Jan. 22. An even more optimal time frame is to submit samples by Jan. 15 to allow some extra time, especially in the aftermath of the holidays.

Figure 1: Steps and timeline to receive DNA results. All calendar dates and timelines have been estimated for the purpose of this example. Step 5: DNA *GGP genomic data used in genetic evaluation to update GE-EPDs weekly, posted by March 5

Step 1: Breeder mails samples with AHA paperwork to Neogen for testing Jan. 15

Step 4: AHA sends DNA reports to breeder by Feb. 22

Step 2: Samples enter testing by Jan. 22

Step 3: Lab reports results and genomics to AHA Feb. 19 *GGP stands for GeneSeek® Genomic Profiler

Step 1: It is highly encouraged to ship your samples via a method that allows shipment tracking. In my opinion, peace of mind is well worth the additional $8 to $30 tracking fee, especially since you have already invested a significant amount of time, energy and expense into collecting the samples. Typical mailing time can vary from one to 10 days depending on the shipping method. Step 2: As long as your samples arrive with the proper AHA paperwork, they will be tested within 3-7 business days. This timeline fluctuates depending on the sample volume being received at the lab, which varies based on the time of year. The lab tends to be extremely busy from September through March, so to be safe, plan on seven business days for this step when creating your testing plan, just to be safe. Step 3: DNA is being processed on the samples and results are reported electronically to AHA via our Lab Information Management Software (LIMS) and email. The timespan from when a sample enters testing to when results are reported to the Association is 17 to 28 days, depending on the testing selected and current lab testing volume. Step 4: AHA uploads the results into its database and reports them to the breeder. This process is streamlined and efficient; but, remember we are creating an ideal timeline, so we suggest allowing three business days for this step. Step 5: AHA runs genetic evaluations weekly. If the animal has a genomic test conducted, the results will be incorporated into the genetic evaluation, and genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) will be published on the animal. Depending on when the genomic test is completed and uploaded into the genetic evaluation, it could be up to 14 days before GE-EPDs are available.

Figure 2: Estimated days of turnaround for DNA tests. All estimations are in days. Individual experiences may vary. Step 1: Mail samples One to 10

Step 2: Samples enter testing Three to seven

Step 3: DNA results reported 17 to 28

Step 4: AHA uploads results One to three

Step 5: GE-EPDs generated seven to 14

Total days: 29 to 62

The big picture Given the steps above, it could take four to eight weeks from the time a breeder mails samples to the lab to receive DNA results from the Association. Six weeks can quickly turn in to eight due to retesting or incorrect paperwork delays. Sticking to an ideal testing calendar provides time to resample if the initial submission ends in a sample failure. From experience, approximately 2-3% of samples fail testing. For example, if you submitted 100 samples, there may be up to three samples you will need to recollect and resubmit through the entire process. It is important to note DNA testing cannot be expedited, and results cannot magically appear with the push of a button. Our best recommendation is to follow your Association’s DNA submission instructions closely, to gather samples using proper collection techniques and to mail samples at least two months before results are needed. Breeders are also advised to create a DNA testing calendar that works for your operation and to adhere closely to it. By submitting samples earlier than normal, you may end up testing a few more animals than ultimately needed, but the benefit of having all the information before the final deadline is well worth it. DNA testing is an important investment in the future of the genetics for your operation and that of your customers. The moral of the story: The time to get started testing your sale animals, replacement heifers and summer show prospects is now.

Reporting the Whole Story Keep data collection accurate and simple this calving season. by Jaclyn Krymowski

he rush of calving season comes with a laundry list of things to do. What should be near the top — although easily lost in the shuffle — is accurate recordkeeping and data collection. For day-to-day, on-farm applications, the importance of having good records is obvious: Records are pivotal for a wide range of practical things like parentage, tracking growth rates and managing treatments. However, records and data can improve far more than private herds. Producers who are invested in breed associations have the capability to play an active role in breed advancement and improvement. This is as simple as keeping and submitting accurate data in a timely manner. “We like as much reproductive information as we can get,” says Laura Loschke, records supervisor for the American Hereford Association (AHA).

What is worth reporting? The moment a calf hits the ground, documentation and processing are the first steps to monitoring its lifetime performance. For the calf, this includes the basic preliminary information including dam and sire registration numbers, sex and birthdate. Genetic information (i.e., horned or polled) and method of service — natural, artificial insemination (AI) or embryo transfer — must also be noted. This data is not just about the calf. Each animal contains important data to build up its sire’s expected progeny difference (EPD) reliability. This is especially important for young sires, who need to increase the reliability of their genomic information with concrete, phenotypic data. Birth weight, for example, is an important metric to document for traits like calving ease. Other measurements, like the dam’s calving ease and teat and udder scores, trace back to her sire as well. Information on females is a key part of strategic mating. Reported data on your cows can complement genomic data and improve reliability on individual EPDs.

Strategies for accuracy While Hereford breeders are not required to submit their data to AHA, it is strongly encouraged. The Association’s Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program makes this process easier and helps producers make more informed breeding decisions. Participation in the program is mandatory for members who want EPDs reported on their animals. In fact, Loschke reports approximately 85% of the Association’s calving records are obtained this way. Producers enrolled in Whole Herd TPR have access to AHA’s online registry system called MyHerd. Enrolled members can log into the system at any time and follow the prompts to enter certain information. Nonetheless, Loschke stresses the importance of writing everything down by hand first. “You never know what might get missed or not turned in,” she says. “Do not guess on any weights or any data. Get scales and make sure your numbers are accurate.” Likewise, associations have to trust their breeders are submitting accurate information and reporting all of their calf crop. “Without precise collection, we could never know the accuracy of the data,” Loschke continues. “There really isn’t room for error. However, we have to work with the data that is sent to us and trust that it is accurate and precise.” Timing is important to record keeping. Not only does this prevent lost information, it increases accuracy.

| February 2021

To determine the most accurate birthweight, calves need to be weighed on a scale within 24 hours after birth. Hereford breeders who report this data must submit weights of all calves born alive. Even if calves are not going to be registered, they must be documented in the Whole Herd TPR system. This is important because submitting all calves as a contemporary group is the only way to get an accurate picture of how your herd and individual animals stack up. The same reasoning applies to other reported data such as weaning and yearling weights. Animals raised in the same herd and environments, known as a contemporary group, provide especially valuable information to paint a true picture of genetic strengths and weaknesses. If data on only the best animals are reported, their true value is not highlighted because they have not been compared to their lesser cohorts in the herd.

Take home Herds of all sizes have data worth sharing. This not only improves individual animals; it also strengthens and improves the breed. Having all the data in the world means nothing if it is inaccurate or unreported. Breed associations have no way of knowing what goes unreported each year, and only producer-shared data can provide the full scope of what is happening in the field. Even with the rise of genomic information, genotyping cannot tell the whole story without phenotypic data. Before calving season is in full swing, breeders should take a moment and review what is and is not acceptable data collection. Knowing how to document and where to send the information ahead of time makes it that much easier to create and track records when calves begin to drop.

Tee Up Your Herd Health Program Build better cattle vaccination protocols. by Kindra Gordon

constraints of the ranch (e.g., when animals are available to be handled) make building a herd vaccination program complex. Midla says vaccination against the four BRD viruses is “one of the most important vaccines you can give an animal in preparation for weaning” because weaning is probably the biggest stressor in the life of a beef animal. BRD and pneumonia following weaning is pretty common. Because stimulation of the immune system takes time, Midla emphasizes vaccines must be given prior to the expected challenge. “Nearly all vaccines are also at least somewhat of a stressor, so giving shots at weaning is an extra stressor,” he says. If calves cannot be gathered for vaccination prior to weaning, an alternative is to give an intranasal (administered through the nose) BRD vaccine at weaning since intranasal vaccines are generally considered to be less of a stressor than parenteral (administration through any route outside of the gastrointestinal tract) vaccines. Additionally, if a producer wants to vaccinate for respiratory diseases when calves are still young, such as at branding, intranasal products may be more effective due to potential interference from maternally derived antibodies in calves younger than 3 to 4 months old. For yearlings, the 9-way vaccination should be administered prior to breeding, Midla says. For cows, a modified-live, 9-way vaccine should be administered annually when cows are open. If using a killed vaccine, Midla suggests administering the 9-way vaccine twice a year. Regarding the 7-way vaccine for clostridial diseases, Midla recommends a first dose and an appropriately timed booster, with both doses ideally administered after the calves are at least 3 months old. Yearlings also need a 7-way vaccine, and while it can be optional for cows (depending upon prevalence in your area), Midla strongly recommends it because, if the dose is timed appropriately during late pregnancy, it can increase antibodies in the cow’s colostrum which then passes some immunity to the newborn calf as well.

Additional considerations

“V

accination programs for cattle are a lot like golf,” suggests Lowell Midla, veterinary technical services manager with Merck Animal Health. Of the analogy he explains, “Golf is easy to do, but difficult to do well.” Likewise, he says vaccination programs can be as simple as a 9-way and a 7-way vaccine, but implementation of a complete herd health program is always more complex than that. Midla, who has 24 years of experience as a practicing veterinarian and has spent 15 years teaching at Ohio State University Veterinary School, shared his insights during the “Setting Up for Success” virtual educational sessions that were part of the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) 2020 Annual Membership Lowell Midla Meeting and Conference Oct. 19-24.

Vaccination timing Midla notes a 9-way vaccine protects against the four bovine respiratory disease (BRD) viruses: infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and parainfluenza-3 virus (PI3). It also includes a 5-way leptospirosis vaccine. The 7-way vaccine protects against clostridial diseases including blackleg, overeating, etc. Determining the type of vaccine (modified-live vs. killed virus; intranasal vs. subcutaneous administration), when to administer, boosting the vaccine, when to administer the booster, etc., and doing so within the management

| February 2021

Midla strongly recommends all producers work closely with a local bovine veterinarian to determine the most effective protocols for their herd. He offers several general guidelines to achieve this goal: A modified-live IBR, BVD, BRSV, PI3 vaccine has several advantages over a killed vaccine. However, in some limited circumstances, it can potentially adversely affect conception. One way to help prevent that risk is to move the prebreeding vaccination to 60 days prior to breeding heifers. Neonatal diarrhea prevention vaccines are effective at reducing the incidence and severity of the problem in calves. Heifers need two doses, and cows need an appropriately timed annual booster. Pinkeye vaccination is also worth considering. Midla explains producers should vaccinate against both Moraxella bovis and Moraxella bovoculi. He adds while commercially available pinkeye vaccines must demonstrate efficacy to be approved for distribution, there is no such requirement for autogenous (derived from microorganisms in the affected individual) vaccines. He is aware of four research trials in which autogenous pinkeye vaccines failed to show efficacy and none in which they succeeded. Tetanus shots must be given any time castration is performed using a banding method. Again, remember to vaccinate prior to the event. He says six weeks prior with a booster three weeks prior is ideal; at minimum, vaccinate three weeks prior with a booster given when the band is put on. He adds, “With vaccination, there is ideal, and then there is what the producer can [reasonably] get done. Always strive for excellence. If you cannot achieve excellence, then sooner or later you may see disease problems that could have been prevented.” Midla reminds producers, “Vaccines are, in general, effective, but they are not a panacea.” He points to the disease triangle of pathogen, host and environment and notes that while vaccination makes the host a bit more resistant, disease can result from a failure of any of the three. Bottom line: Midla advises finding a good veterinarian and building a relationship with him/her to address herd health as a total program — with written protocols on the calendar. “Don’t just use your veterinarian for emergencies,” he reminds producers. Editor’s note: Merck Animal Health has partnered with the AHA to offer education on herd health. In this effort, Lowell Midla, along with his colleagues at Merck Animal Health, contribute a regular column about herd health for the Hereford World.

Set Yourself Up for Marketing Success Fed cattle marketer shares his playbook. by Kindra Gordon

lexander Graham Bell — inventor of the telephone — is credited with saying, “Before anything else, preparation is key to success.” His advice aptly describes what is needed to successfully market fed cattle: preparation. During the virtual educational sessions at the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) 2020 Annual Membership Meeting and Conference, Oct. 19-24, cattle marketer Nolan Stone shared insights into effective marketing strategies when placing feeders and yearlings. Based at Eaton, Colo., Stone spent 18 years in a cattle-buying role for a 100,000-head feedlot. Today, he operates S= Cattle Co., which focuses on placing cattle from across the country with three large feeding companies: Five Rivers Cattle, Harris Ranch and Green Plains Cattle. Combined, these companies represent a one-time feeding capacity of 1.5 million head of cattle. Additionally, in early 2020 the AHA created a partnership with S= Cattle Co. to work with AHA field representatives on sourcing Hereford-based feeder cattle and helping create marketing options. The goal of the partnership is to increase marketing avenues for commercial Hereford producers and to build additional value for the breed. Direct-trade cattle placements offer some advantages to auction or video/internet cattle marketing. Because buyers know the exact bid being offered, they can specify the timing for the sale and there are no commissions, Stone notes. This format works especially well for hedging, he says. Still, Stone emphasizes sellers must know the weight of the cattle being offered.

Stone’s playbook What has Stone learned about what buyers want? For feeder calves, he says the big three management protocols are:

• Vaccinations. Stone recommends working with a local veterinarian to determine what vaccination protocol is best for the herd. Then, when it comes time to communicate with a buyer, be prepared to share when and how many shots calves had and for what diseases.

• Weaning. Weaned calves for a minimum of 45 days is encouraged,

but 75 days is even better, says Stone. He explains at the 20-23 day mark many calves tend to have a health break, and thus do not do well being on a truck or arriving at a feedyard at that time. “Those calves are not going to gain much weight or produce a premium,” Stone says. Regarding calves preconditioned for 6 to 10 weeks, he cautions, “Do not overfeed them. Feeders don’t want calves coming in greasy. It’s hard to get them big enough after that.”

• Niche programs. Natural, Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC),

grass-fed and breed programs are all niche markets offering larger premiums to producers and feeders. Stone encourages producers to explore these options and to see what may fit their operation. As an example, he says if you are not implanting calves and have the flexibility to retain yearlings, then an NHTC program may be worth considering. “It can pay big premiums,” he says. Regarding breed and genetics, Stone adds most buyers do not have time for a long history on the cattle, but he says, “A compelling short story about genetics is valuable.”

| February 2021

Seasonal opportunities Stone also encourages cow-calf producers to pay attention to counterseasonal opportunities within the market. Specifically, he notes some producers who calve at times other than the traditional spring season are finding some extra market value. He shares, “I have a friend who calves in summer, weans calves at a young age in early November and sells 400- to 500-pound calves in December, and the premiums on them have been incredible.” Likewise, running calves on grass and marketing them as yearlings can also provide extra market opportunities for some.

Additional details Communicating details about cattle is also key for direct-trade success, according to Stone. In addition to the number of head in the lot, specifics to report should include:

• Location of where the cattle are, where they will be loaded and where they will be weighed.

• Base weight of cattle set by the producer. Keep in mind, buyers want lots of uniform weights. Stone says a 250- to 300-pound range is acceptable on bigger cattle, but any range higher is not acceptable.

• Sex of the cattle. • Color. Stone emphasizes representing this detail accurately. If

there is a mix of blacks and reds, say so. If there is a three-color mix of blacks, reds and whites, identify that off the bat. He explains being upfront about the cattle can reduce the number sorted off at loadout. Likewise, any horned cattle should be communicated in advance. If horns are too big, those cattle will be sorted off before shipping.

• Feed. Particularly for feeder calves, feedyards want to know what cattle have been eating so the yard can help calves transition to new feed.

• Shrink and slide. As a rule, Stone says yearlings typically have a 3%

shrink when weighted on a ground scale and 2% when weighed on the truck. Calves are typically 2% and 1%, respectively. Slide is the discount (cents/pound) based on the number of pounds up or down that cattle weigh from the agreed upon base weight. Stone encourages producers to communicate with buyers about these rates as they enter an agreement.

In presenting cattle for sale, Stone’s final advice to producers is to be prepared. “Know what price you want, know the timeline, be available to communicate and be prepared to commit,” he advises. He explains most bids from a buyer are only good until the board opens the following day. Given the amount of time and investment producers devote to genetics and health of their cattle, Stone encourages producers to also focus on their calf marketing and aim to get a valuable return on investment. To learn more about options for marketing Hereford-based feeder calves, please contact your regional AHA field representative or visit Hereford.org.

Checklist for delivery day What is needed when calves get shipped to the feedyard? Cattle marketer Nolan Stone offers this checklist: • Brand inspector • Health papers from veterinarian (if cattle are going out of state) • Weigh scales (must be accessible) • Trucks (usually coordinated by the buyer) • Settlement sheet • Sorting stick (any cattle not fitting the color, weights or horns represented on the sale agreement will need to be sorted off) Hereford.org

Don’t Let Your Cows Fall Victim to the

Spring Nutrient Gap Short grass can shortchange your freshly calved cows at their time of greatest need. by Lee Dickerson

or are not born at all because nutrition slipped post-calving1,” says Dickerson. “Calves born later result in less weaning weight.” The amount of energy provided to a cow also influences her milk production and lactation length, which impacts nutrition available for her calf. Research has shown that a cow consuming 170 Kcal per metabolic body weight will maintain peak milk production for approximately 8.3 weeks at 20.2 pounds of milk per day, and will produce 2,726 pounds of milk over the course of 210 days. Providing additional energy, at a level of 290 Kcal per metabolic body weight, resulted in maintaining peak milk production for 10.9 weeks, at 24.2 pounds of milk per day and a total 210-day production of 3,742 pounds.2

Set up for spring success

Relying on spring grass as a sole nutritional source for your cow herd can leave nutritional gaps, which affect cows' body condition and their ability to breed back.

resh grass is a welcome sight come spring. However, early spring grass with limited growth or volume should be approached with caution when it’s used as the sole source of nutrition for recently calved cows. With limited grass volume, cows can expend more protein and energy than they are taking in and lose body condition. “Cows are also coming out of gestation and into their time of highest nutritional requirement,” says Lee Dickerson, Ph.D. and senior cattle consultant with Purina Animal Nutrition. “While it can be lucrative to turn cows out on pasture at the first sign of grass, short grass won’t supply the nutrients a cow needs to perform her best.” Providing adequate nutrition helps cows stay in condition, which can in turn help cows get rebred. Rebreeding success will determine the number of calves you’ll have the following year and how much those calves weigh.

“Cows will run for green grass and burn more energy searching for grass than what they’ll consume. The energy deficit can result in lost condition,” says Dickerson. A visual loss in condition often means you’ve already left some performance on the table. Supplements can help regain condition, but playing catch-up typically means feeding large amounts of supplement at a higher cost. Dickerson recommends providing free-choice hay and supplement early until grass is lush and plentiful. “Offer hay early and continue feeding it long enough for cows to achieve a BCS 6 at calving and no less than a BCS 5.5 at breeding,” says Dickerson. Dickerson adds supplementation is a great option to help cows maintain body condition through all seasons and to optimize cow performance with existing forage.” Cover the spring nutrient gap, and set your cows up for greatness. Editor’s Note: Lee Dickerson, Ph.D., is a senior cattle consultant with Purina Animal Nutrition. This article was provided by Purina Animal Nutrition.

Needs by the numbers “Nutritional requirements climb upward from gestation to the last trimester of pregnancy and are at their highest during lactation,” says Dickerson. As a cow begins lactation, her protein and phosphorus requirements go up about 60% to 70% compared to requirements during the last trimester. Requirements for total digestible nutrients (TDN), or energy, increase by an additional 15% to 25%. These nutrients impact milk production, a cow’s ability to get bred back quickly and, ultimately, the resulting calf crop. “If you only maintain your feeding rate from gestation to lactation, you may start shorting your cows of adequate protein and energy. This gap in nutrition can result in lost body condition and performance,” says Dickerson.

What’s at stake? Research shows that body condition score (BCS) at calving impacts how quickly cows begin cycling and become pregnant. For cows that calved in at a body condition score of 6 (ideal), 98% showed estrus by day 40 of the breeding season, and 90% were confirmed pregnant by day 40. Comparatively, a drop to a BCS 5 resulted in just 80% in estrus and 65% confirmed pregnant.1 “For every 100 cows, a single point drop from a BCS 6 to a 5 at breeding could equate to roughly 25 calves that are either born later

Supplementation helps maintain cows' ideal body condition scores, which improves performance, milk production, weaning weights and pregnancy rates.

Spring PREP

Which Comes First, Calving or Rebreeding? Preparation for calving is often first priority, but don’t leave rebreeding as an afterthought. by Chad Zehnder

Mature cows should calve in at a minimum of 5.5 BCS, but preferably at a score of 6. Heifers should calve at a minimum score of 6. Supplementation can help maintain a consistent BCS which can lead to cows breeding back quickly, optimized conception rates and heavier calf weaning weights.

Evaluate your mineral program

Mineral nutrition is one of the most commonly overlooked items on the calving and rebreeding preparation list. “We tend to think about the importance of minerals either right at calving or before breeding, but we need to make sure we’re providing an adequate mineral program year-round,” Zehnder says. “Minerals are especially important 60 to 90 days before calving, since they impact colostrum quality, calf trace mineral status and calf health.” Minerals also play a role in tissue repair, helping the cow’s reproductive tract repair from calving and prepare for breeding. If the tract is not fully repaired, a cow may have challenges being rebred or she may not breed back at all. A program with highly bioavailable trace mineral sources can be of benefit, especially leading up to calving season and through breeding. The bioavailability of a mineral source alters the absorptive ability of the trace minerals eliciting their full benefit.

ou’ve heard the dilemma, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” A similar dilemma plays out in the cattle industry each year as preparing for calving season begins. Which comes first, calving or rebreeding? You may put all of your eggs in the calving “basket,” since a live, healthy calf is often first priority. But a calf is ultimately the result of a successful breeding period, and preparation for calving and rebreeding should occur simultaneously. “Calving and rebreeding ideally occur within a relatively short, but very critical, 85-day window,” says Chad Zehnder, Ph.D., and cattle consultant with Purina Animal Nutrition. “How a heifer or cow calves out at the beginning of the window will impact her ability to get bred at the end of the window, and how quickly rebreeding occurs will impact a cow’s Chad Zehnder ability to stay on a 365-day calving cycle.” Here are four strategies you can implement now to prepare for spring calving and rebreeding:

Monitor body condition score

The body condition score (BCS) of a cow at calving not only affects colostrum quality, cow stamina (to get through birthing) and calf vigor, it also affects the time until that cow starts cycling again. “We want cows cycling prior to the breeding season so that when they come into heat during breeding season we have a better chance of getting them bred in the first 21 days. Cows bred early in the breeding season will result in calves born early in calving season,” says Zehnder. Calf age has the biggest impact on weaning weight. Therefore, calves born in the first 21 days of the season are likely heavier at weaning. If you estimate that a calf gains between 2.25 pounds to 2.5 pounds per day, every heat cycle is worth roughly 50 pounds. That is why it is so critical to get cows rebred on the first cycle.

| February 2021

Discuss herd health with your veterinarian

If you do not have a comprehensive herd health program, now is the time to talk with your veterinarian or animal health supplier to develop one. If you have a program, it can be beneficial to re-evaluate and ensure the protocols still make sense. “Make sure you have a vaccination program in place for both cows and calves,” Zehnder says. “Since every operation has a different risk level in how and when they calve, the program should be specific to your operation and region.” For operations with multiple employees, make sure everyone is familiar and comfortable with the program ahead of time. Getting everyone on the same page before calving begins can help ensure protocols are followed correctly and consistently.

Take time to troubleshoot

Calving and rebreeding are two of the most important events for an operation’s bottom line which makes it stressful when things don’t go as planned. However, an overreaction may make things even worse. “It’s easy to get frustrated when there’s a bump in the road, but it’s important to take an objective approach when a challenge arises,” Zehnder says. “Troubleshoot and try to figure out what the true cause is versus making a knee-jerk decision.” Involve your nutritionist, veterinarian, suppliers, employees and other key personnel to help work through a cause and solution. A team discussion can help identify the diagnostic work needed to find a solution. Regardless of which takes priority in your mind, calving and rebreeding success is always in season. “We need to think about that critical 85-day window yearround. Every management decision we make throughout the year should focus on a cow delivering a live, healthy calf and being bred back in that time frame,” Zehnder says.

Managing the Year-Round Social Structure of Bulls

Bulls interacting safely largely affects cow-calf producers’ profits. by Bruce Derksen

ens of breeding females often boast consistently aged, maternal animals a cattleperson is proud to own, and corresponding pens of bulls are likely nearby. Whether the bull pen consists of one, 30 or somewhere between, all animals should be offered the same high regard as their female counterparts. Far too often, once the breeding season ends, bulls are pushed into the background and even ignored unless something unforeseen brings them back in focus. With the critical job they are tasked, bulls deserve attention to ensure a smooth transition from rest cycle through to the next breeding season.

| February 2021

“The bulls are probably the most important part of the herd,” says Ken Olson, animal science department professor and Extension beef cattle specialist at South Dakota State University. “It doesn’t matter how many there are, or how large the cow herd is, the bulls are there to do a job and deliver a result. You can’t afford to come up with zeros because of them.”

Supporting bulls in nonbreeding times Numerous elements are required to support a herd sire through nonbreeding times and ensure he’s ready for action when called upon. They include nutrition, quality feed

and water, adequate shelter, timely vaccinations, parasite control, a breeding soundness exam and body condition scoring. An aspect sometimes forgotten or ignored is the handling of social structure. Mismanaging interactions between males can lead to forfeiture of the large investments made in them. One key to realizing affordability is ensuring they maintain top condition for more than one or two years. When depreciated over additional years of productive service, they add much more to the balance sheet than those often replaced. It’s not easy to keep these large, aggressive animals in a good state of mind and body. A simple mistake of mixing them at the wrong time can lead to serious injuries and investment loss. Olson believes it’s helpful to understand how breeding males operate and interact with one another. “Seniority is the major factor influencing his ranking in the group. Usually, older bulls are dominant in the pen. Further factors include size and weight.” To get them settled into a quiet routine after removal from the females, they should be sorted by age and weight and given plenty of space. If possible, separate younger bulls from older sires to help prevent injuries and to assist in meeting the additional nutritional requirements

of growing yearlings. Adding lone bulls to a group is never recommended, as the probability of injuries will rise due to increased fighting. Although it’s not always easy or practical, new animals should be isolated from a biosecurity and nutritional standpoint.

Managing the breeding season challenges It’s beneficial if bulls combined in multi-sire breeding pastures are penned together for at least a few weeks before turnout to allow time for hierarchy establishment. This provides a time cushion if an injury occurs and a replacement is needed. It is inevitable that a pecking order is determined, but taking a few precautions can make the difference between fit and ready animals or damaged goods. “They should never be saying hello when dropped at the breeding pasture,” Olson says. “Each animal is equipped with a unique personality. The major fighting for position should be out of their system before the breeding season begins.” Olson points out that bulls must be athletic and consistently able to travel long distances. “Because of their weight and all the pressure on their legs, structure is an issue. They’ve got to travel well to breed cows. Their physical prowess will be tested.” He encourages producers to keep their guard up even after Hereford.org

transitioning from the off-season paddocks to the breeding pasture, especially when grouping multiple sires. He explains even though they might have spent the winter together, breeding season brings out an aggressive attitude and the social structure can still fluctuate when mixed with the cows. Several studies have shown the more dominant bulls in multi-sire pastures will breed most of the females. To spread the work, it’s better to group males of similar stature and hierarchy if possible. Those clearly dominant will fight to keep submissive animals from breeding, and if they have low semen quality or capacity, or are infertile, it’s a major problem. “A dominant bull with poor semen quality or low libido could reduce pregnancy rates for an entire herd, even when more fertile subordinate ones are present,” Olson says. “And dominant sires spending all their time fighting will leave too many cows open.” Being overly focused on gaining a higher position in the herd will lead to injured legs, lameness and bruised ribs, shoulders and hips. Injured bulls may not breed at all depending on the amount of pain present. If there is too much discomfort, they will avoid mounting altogether. Some operations use the tactic of introducing a minimum number of bulls at the beginning of the season to service the initial cycling females. They claim success in reducing fighting and injury by working the sires hard early. Instead of combining five bulls with 100 cows, they use two or three for the first two to three weeks when much of the cycling occurs. The hope is that they will be too busy and tired from breeding to worry about fighting for dominance. After this first period, they are replaced with the remaining fresh bulls. The system works well but requires more handling facilities.

only using yearlings and the facilities are in place, a rotation is a good idea. Yearlings draw down their sperm reserves quickly, as well.” Most seedstock breeders guarantee sales and may have a suitable replacement animal to finish the season. The quality may not be optimal, but it is an option to consider. The bulls are the lynchpins of a cow-calf operation and handling them to interact safely with each other and with the females is critical to the producer’s bottom line. “It’s a balancing act as they are social creatures constantly working on a dominance structure,” Olson says. “Livestock managers must be aware of these relationships to ensure productive breeding rates.”

Missing the estrus cycle of a single cow is a significant financial loss in calf weight gain down the road. The extra 21 days until the next ovulation translates into a younger calf coming off pasture 40 pounds to 50 pounds lighter. Spread over multiple animals, this loss grows quickly. Herd docility is a connected negative, especially if replacement heifers are retained. Olson says fighting and disposition go hand in hand, and these undesirable traits will transfer into the core of the cow herd. “Once you’ve got cattle and bulls with bad dispositions, it’s going to translate into males that fight a lot and are a danger to be around. Plus, this will negatively affect the personality of the females.” Even with the best of intentions, it’s essential to have a plan B. “I don’t think many operators think about this probability, but they should.

Additionally, Amstein reports that beef has remained a priority for consumers when they are dining out. According to Midan, data collected in August 2020 notes 85% of consumers regularly order meat/poultry in dishes at foodservice, 41% of consumers crave a meat/poultry dish they can’t recreate at home and 47% of consumers said beef is the protein they are most likely to order on their next foodservice trip. Amstein calls these trends good news for the beef industry, but also underscores the importance of continuing to anticipate and prepare for marketplace changes in order to ensure beef stays at the center of consumers’ plates.

Upcoming influences

Opportunities Ahead Keep beef at the center of consumers’ plates. by Kindra Gordon

“T

he beef industry won’t look like it did [before the pandemic]. It will be a new normal,” says Danette Amstein, who specializes in marketing within the meat industry as a managing principal with Midan Marketing. But fortunately, Amstein’s forecast for a “changed” future has several optimistic tones for the beef industry as they serve consumers’ meal preferences going forward. Amstein shared her outlook during the virtual educational sessions as part of the American Hereford Association’s 2020 Annual Membership Meeting and Conference Oct. 19-24. Danette Amstein

Changing consumers Amstein, who grew up on a family farm in Kansas and says she and her husband both have “Hereford heritage” in their backgrounds, acknowledges that during the coronavirus pandemic, farm life for many hasn’t changed much. But, she says, “Consumers’ lives have.” She notes, “Consumers have a lot on their minds,” and points to public health fears, economic concerns and even the social injustice issues that have plagued many urban cities for the past several months. Interestingly, Amstein explains that historically economic concerns among consumers drive price sensitivity within their food purchases. However, Amstein says because there is also a large health crisis at hand, consumers are showing concern for food quality and health claims. As a result, she says, “One of the silver linings occurring is that consumers are eating more meat.” Specifically, Amstein shares data by Midan tracking consumers’ meat and poultry shopping and cooking habits during the first few months of the pandemic:

53%

62%

of consumers are purchasing a wider variety 46% of meat and chicken than normal, which may be prompted by availability.

of shoppers are buying and freezing meat and chicken much more than normal.

of shoppers are experimenting with new ways to cook meat and chicken.

of consumers are seeking out healthier types/cuts of meats and chicken.

54%

Looking ahead, Amstein encourages the beef industry to remain aware that consumers are very diverse. Regarding beef products, she notes, “It can’t be an all-for-everyone market.” She points out that age, race and ethnicity are all influencers in consumers’ meat purchases. “Be cognizant that they may shop differently than they did in the previous generations, and that impacts what we need to offer them.” Additionally, Amstein notes that educational efforts in teaching consumers how to cook with beef, how to use different cuts in recipes and even how to freeze and store beef are still skills consumers seek. Along with those issues, Amstein reports concern about animal care, the environment and health for themselves and the livestock. These factors are increasingly impacting consumers’ food choices. She explains, “It used to be cost, taste and convenience, but today’s consumers, especially millennials, have an elevated understanding of marketing … They are looking for trust and truth and will pay more for a product with more information and transparency.” Thus, ethical considerations such as local sources, humane treatment and environmental sustainability are coming into the equation. “This is becoming a bigger piece of the food conversation than we saw a decade ago and even a year ago,” says Amstein.

Five focus areas For the future, Amstein says Midan Marketing research suggests there are five key consumer expectation areas for the beef industry: 1) convenience, which includes everything from meal kits to online availability of meat, 2) animal welfare, 3) sustainability, 4) transparency and 5) trust. Regarding all of these areas, Amstein believes increased communication from producers to consumers is essential. “It’s imperative that we be more transparent and show the lengths we go to take care of our animals.” Likewise, to build trust with consumers, Amstein says, “The beef industry has got to be proactive in telling our story. And, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are some of the most important things we can do to gain consumer confidence and trust. They allow for talking directly to consumers.” She encourages producers to share what they do and why — from feeding and checking cows to baling hay. She commends those ag producers already using social media, and says, “There are a lot of good voices out there; we just need more [producers] sharing their stories.” Additionally, Amstein suggests that the agriculture story also needs to start being more prevalent on meat packaging and marketing materials. She points to a typical meat case at the grocery store and calls it a sea of “sameness.” She commended the Certified Hereford Beef ® (CHB) program for its beef branding efforts, saying, “CHB helps your breed tell your story and stand out.” She encourages more storytelling and branding of all beef products for the future. “It’s important to tell the story [of animal care, sustainability etc.], build trust and build loyalty. All of that leads to increased product value,” Amstein concludes.

One thing What is the most important thing producers can do to help the future of the beef industry? Danette Amstein suggests it is posting an ag video on social media once a week. “Explain why you feed, doctor cattle or rotate pastures,” she says. “The more you can share, the more quickly we can gain trust and transparency for the Hereford breed and the beef industry.”

of shoppers are cooking larger servings so that they can be used for multiple meals.

Value-Added Premiums $50 Per Head, Data Show

by Greg Henderson

eaned calves are worth an average of about $50 per head more than their unweaned herdmates. That’s according to new data compiled from 393,600 calves sold through Superior Livestock Auction’s (SLA) summer 2020 video sales. The data analysis on vaccinated and weaned calves sold by SLA is an ongoing research

project under the direction of Ken Odde, professor and former head of the Department of Animal Sciences at Kansas State University. To date, the project has collected data on over 25 million head of cattle. Specifically, the analysis evaluated the sale price of calves from seven separate valueadded health programs identified by SLA.

Since the program analysis began more than a quarter-century ago, Odde said producers have responded to market signals by offering more weaned and vaccinated calves at sale time. “Previous analyses compared prices to calves without any vaccinations or weaning,” says Odde. “Now, we hardly see any of those calves in the sales, so our base for comparing prices is now VAC 24 (calves vaccinated at branding and sold off the cow).” VAC 24 calves sold during the summer of 2020 received an average sale price of $147.69 per hundredweight (cwt.), or $8.94 per cwt. less than VAC 45 calves, and $9.88 per cwt. less than VAC 60 calves. The average weight of the calves in the analysis was 580 pounds, which delivered a $51.85 per head premium for the VAC 45 calves and a $57.30 per head premium for the VAC 60 calves. Odde says the most popular programs are VAC 34 and VAC 34+. The VAC 34 program requires calves to be vaccinated 2 to 4 weeks prior to shipping while still nursing their dams. The VAC 34+ program requires calves to be vaccinated twice while still nursing, once at branding and once 2 to 4 weeks prior to shipping. Together, the VAC 34 and VAC 34+ programs totaled 1,598 lots in the SLA sales. VAC 34 calves sold for an average of $149.97 per cwt., or $2.28 per cwt. more ($13.22/head) than the VAC 24 base. The VAC 34+ calves sold for $151.72 per cwt., or $4.03 per cwt. more ($23.37/head) than the VAC 24 base. The next most popular programs were VAC 45 and VAC 45+, which totaled 868 lots in the SLA sales.

Fetal Programming Series

Fetal Programming in the Third Trimester However, there is another key development affecting a fetus during the third trimester: the final stages of lung development. Without adequate attention to a fetus’ maternal environment, a calf’s lungs may develop improperly, leaving a greater chance for the calf to develop asthma and other respiratory complications. Aside from physiological developments affecting a calf at birth, essential nutrients and colostrum are produced. “Colostrum is produced in the last trimester, so keeping the cow in good shape during this time period helps produce better colostrum for the calf,” Backes-Belew says.

Optimum nutrition

Research shows increased productivity of a calf crop if attentive to third trimester nutrition. by Grace Vehige

he number one priority on the radar for many cattle producers is ensuring a live, healthy calf crop. Often times, a producer may not worry about a calf until it hits the ground. Continued research on fetal programming indicates a calf’s productivity depends on its dam’s condition during pregnancy. With both positive and negative outcomes at risk during pregnancy, it is important to understand the role of all three trimesters. The majority of fetal growth occurs in the third trimester, making this period critical for a calf’s future performance, according to Elizabeth Backes-Belew, Ph.D., nutritionist with Purina Beef Technical Solutions.

Third trimester breakdown Traditionally, producers place a lot of weight on the third trimester of pregnancy, and rightfully so. If there is one thing we know about pregnancy, it is the maternal environment plays a key role in the health and productivity of the fetus after birth. Undoubtedly, the sheer percentage of calf growth during the third trimester is enough to make a producer attentive to maternal environment. In fact, as Backes-Belew explains, “The third trimester is the time period where 75% of the fetal growth occurs.”

Perhaps the most important aspect of fetal programming, especially in the third trimester, is providing proper nutrition. After all, BackesBelew says nutrition affects stayability, longevity and reproductive performance. Third trimester nutrition is far more important than just weight gain. Studies show strong correlations between nutritional supplementation for a dam and increased productivity for a calf. “A female’s nutrient requirements will go up significantly during the last trimester of pregnancy and through lactation,” says Doug Hawkins, PhD., technical support specialist with Purina. While the logic seems clear, what is the actual influence of optimum nutrition in the third trimester? Backes-Belew cites a three-year study1 of improved nutrition during the last 90 days of gestation in a cow. The study breaks down simply: Half of the cows did not receive supplements and half of the cows received one pound of supplements per day. The females that received supplementation during the third trimester produced calves with heavier finishing weights than that of their nonsupplemented counterparts. The results do not stop there. This same study found the calves out of supplemented females had improved quality grade. Calves out of dams receiving proper mineral supplementation were less likely to be pulled for health treatments in feedyard environments.

As if those findings do not speak volumes, Hawkins reports adequate or preferably optimum nutrition is critical to reproductive success in the bovine female. “Proper nutrition is critical to meeting the nutritional requirements of protein, energy and trace mineral needs for the female in order for the reproduction process to occur. Inadequate nutrition can have short-term and long-term consequences that can inhibit or alter reproduction,” he confirms.

The producer’s role With this information on nutritional requirements in mind, it is important to understand your role as a producer. “I think a lot of people could argue one [trimester] is more important than the next, but they are equally important when it comes to fetal development,” Backes-Belew says. Think of it this way: If the target is to get one calf per cow every year, logistically, the cow is eating for two to three every day because she is either pregnant, nursing, pregnant and nursing or culled. Nutrition affects the outcome of the pregnancy — plain and simple. For producers, the goal is to get the female adequately prepared, reduce the number of bad days and provide consistent nutrition. Backes-Belew explains this is best achieved by monitoring body condition in the herd. “A prime body condition score is sure to promote positive fetal development,” she says. “A score between one and four is bad for calf development. On the other hand, a body condition score between seven and nine affects a cow’s reproductive ability.” Hawkins confirms, “Maintaining a yearround body condition score of 6 through supplementation can lead to increased reproductive efficiency, heavier weaning weights and also longevity of the cow.” More information about fetal programming and the first and second trimesters of gestation can be found in previous issues of the Hereford World. In future issues of Hereford World, learn more about nutritional effects on reproductive performance in replacement females.

A review of the second trimester Providing the right resources and mineral supplements to your cow herd in their second trimester of pregnancy can help their calf crop achieve higher weaning weights, more gain at finishing and improved marbling and tenderness. “By not feeding mom to meet her nutrient requirements, you are giving up pounds at weaning and finishing, and leaving positive attributes in terms of carcass quality on the table,” shares Elizabeth Backes-Belew, Ph.D., nutritionist with Purina Beef Technical Solutions. She points out a calf is born with every muscle cell it will ever have in its life. During the second trimester, muscle tissue is developed, as well as the liver, heart, brain and other vital organs. Attentiveness to maternal environment in the second trimester is sure to pay off in the long run. “Producers must understand that an animal’s productivity begins at its conception and that every day is important. A producer’s goal is for that animal to have more good days than bad days. That is why nutrition, herd health and management are so critical every day,” says Doug Hawkins, PhD., technical support specialist with Purina.

Hereford Thrives in an Uncertain Year Despite the challenges of 2020, the American Hereford Association reports breed growth.

n a year that was anything but predictable, Hereford breeders and the American Hereford Association (AHA) continued to add value to Hereford genetics. Year-end reports shared during the Association’s recent annual meeting show their efforts paid off. “As the commercial industry has looked to add crossbreeding back into the programs to increase fertility,

longevity and disposition — all the things that are known in Hereford cattle — it’s created a great opportunity for us,” says Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president. Ward reports the Association experienced increases in registrations and memberships this fiscal year, while sale averages climbed. “The real excitement within our breed and within our membership is

in its growth,” Ward says. “It’s seen growth because the breeders have been committed to genetic improvement and providing the tools necessary to make the changes to produce the type of product that their customer’s need and then, ultimately, the consumer. It’s all encompassing.” A drive for genetic improvement includes a focus on the female. The Association incorporated genomic

information into its suite of maternal traits, and female genotypes accounted for almost 60% of the 25,000 genotypes submitted to the organization during the fiscal year. “I really think that speaks highly to our breeders’ commitment to really get the most of the females that they’re keeping,” says Shane Bedwell, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. “You’ll find about a 20% to 25%, up to a 30%, increase in those maternal traits in the last three years.” The Association also reports tremendous strides in other economically relevant traits, including carcass. “We’ve made incredible improvement in postweaning growth and end product merit,” Bedwell adds. “That’s evident in the amount of cattle that are now grading well in the Hereford breed.” Benefits in conversion and cost of gain have more producers utilizing the Association’s commercial programs — like Hereford Advantage — to add value to Hereford and Herefordinfluenced calves. Meanwhile, Certified Hereford Beef ® celebrated its 25th anniversary and another successful year. “No matter where you drive in the U.S., you find Hereford cattle. They’re adaptable; they work hard. They’re efficient,” Bedwell notes. “We need efficient cattle in these times and in our production system, and Hereford genetics thrive.” Ward adds, “Producers want it all and, with Herefords, you can ‘Come Home to Hereford,’ use good Hereford genetics and take advantage of those opportunities.” Learn more about additional AHA opportunities or news from AHA’s 2020 Annual Meeting at Hereford.org/category/annual-meeting/. You’ll find a series of highlights, including the presentation of more than $150,000 in scholarships, as well as breed honorees and other Hereford news. Virtual educational sessions covering topics from genomics to marketing are also available. Merck Animal Health, Neogen Corporation, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and National Corn Growers Association were among major sponsors of the AHA Annual Membership Meeting and Conference.

ACT’s Playbook

| by Sarah Beth Aubrey

Engaging Your Employees Take a look at work culture for a profitable 2021. What are your 2021 priorities? If you haven’t settled on something, I’d like to offer a suggestion. Now, if you’re like most farmers and ranchers, you likely spend most of your planning time concerned with profits and efficiency — and for good reason. However, most business people overlook a critical aspect of efficiency. It’s called culture. When was the last time you took a look at that? While culture might sound like a “soft skill,” I assure you it is not. In a past column, I explained how every family or business has a culture — one that is either created or allowed. Allowing culture, aka “the way it’s always been done,” is easy. It’s default mode. Creating culture, however, is not always easy. It takes constant maintenance, but the benefits of getting your work environment to a place where people get along, communicate clearly and stay for years is entirely worth the effort.

Create your culture A positive, productive culture is not about improving employee behavior (although some employees may need to make behavioral changes to remain on your farm). Actually, it’s about a strategy a leader creates and adopts. One of the most effective ways to

improve culture is to work toward better engagement from all employees (this includes family, you know …). The most productive business cultures are those where people are engaged because they know the costs of disengaged employees are high. Research varies on disengaged employees in the workplace, but most estimate between 16% to 35% of all workers are disengaged. This means potentially one‑third or more of your employees are working well below their capacity. I bet you already know who they are … or do you? We see the obviously disengaged employees — the gal who is chronically late or the guy who whines when given a task he dislikes. Yet, your better-end employees feel the negative effects of disengagement, too, even if they don’t share it with you verbally. These are the people you don’t want to lose, but risk doing so if the entire team isn’t uplifted. People need engagement in various ways. There isn’t a one-sizefits-all approach, which is why it’s easy to default to the “allowed culture” previously discussed. But, think back to the numbers; if one-third of your employees are working far below their capacity, what is that costing you? Realize the disengaged employee doesn’t just cost you his or her time.

On the contrary, this individual affects more productive individuals, too. We see it in the form of contagious laziness: “If he doesn’t have to work that hard, why do I?” We see it when employees develop resentment: “It just ticks me off how hard I work when she doesn’t do anything and gets the same pay!” We even see it manifest in accidents or when someone gets hurt. We all recognize how dangerous working around cattle can be at times, so why would we risk someone getting injured

1) Trust. When employees are engaged, trust is earned between you and the employee and between each other. A lack of trust is expensive because it leads to managers who constantly micromanage and even redo tasks. 2) Communication. Engaged teams communicate effectively. Master communication, especially by seeking improvement in communication from employees. Good communicators save you money with fewer errors or wasted inputs. Communication also results in fewer missed days. 3) Retention. Hiring and onboarding require time and money. Experts estimate even for your lowest-wage employees, you spend 20% of their annual pay recruiting and hiring them — not counting training time. Save some of this headache by ensuring employees are engaged in the real goals of the farm. If they support your goals, they will stay. 4) Knowledge. Engaged team members desire to learn something every day. This improves your systems, processes and outputs. Plus, they teach others around them. 5) Productivity. Engaged employees simply do better work. This leads to results you care about, such as higher yields in crops or higher live births in cattle.

Working with Creative Services Transform your marketing vision into reality with these tips. When it comes to creating and designing advertisements and other marketing material, it can be difficult to reach an end product that consistently meets your expectations — especially if you struggle understanding design terminology and software. Describing your vision to transform it into a marketing masterpiece and understanding all required specifications is a whole new feat. Luckily, there is a team of experts to help you understand what designers need from you. The Creative Services (CS) team of Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) offers the following tips to help take your sale catalog, directory, brochure, flyer or other project to the next level.

How to prepare As a producer, there are certain things you can do to help your designer to replicate your vision. First and foremost, identify the message to communicate and the preferred timeframe for the marketing piece to be available for potential customers. “Aside from setting a marketing goal for their promotional piece, clients should have in mind what elements (both print and digital) they want to include for these projects,” says CS Coordinator Samantha Albers. She adds it is important for producers to plan ahead and start the design process early with the CS team. For print catalog production, Albers recommends reaching out to CS approximately eight to 10 weeks prior to sale day. On the other hand, producers should reach out to CS about four to six weeks in advance for projects like online catalogs, brochures and logos. Along with a goal and timeframe, there are specific pieces designers will need, including photos, footnotes, active registrations, genomic-enhanced

expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) and ideas for specific page layouts and design elements.

Identifying a creative direction From a designer’s perspective, HPI’s Teri Wolfgang says samples or ideas of design items help kickstart the design process. A vision for color schemes, photo borders, EPD layouts, footnote layouts and other graphic elements will help designers create a visually appealing piece the first go-round. “It is easier to start with an idea of what you like rather than a blank piece of paper,” the graphic designer explains. Whether you are looking to have a catalog made or are in the market for a logo redesign, it is important to have a clear and strategic goal for the piece and, according to Albers, “Setting a goal or having a vision prior to contacting Creative Services will help the CS team with designing and creating a marketing piece that will benefit the breeder’s operation.” Submitting a camera-ready, or printready, advertisement is a popular option. Advertising Coordinator Alison Marx explains a high-resolution portable document format (PDF) is the preferred format for print-ready submissions. “Make sure to follow the specific page specifications laid out for that project,” she recommends. “Above all, always reach out with questions if you are unsure about something.”

Content matters When it comes to marketing pieces, quality is valued more than quantity. The design process starts with content, and the quality of that content can make all the difference in a successful and eye-appealing piece. Albers says understanding specifications for photos, such as

Bleed — a printed image extending beyond one or more of the finished page margins and is later trimmed so the image “bleeds” off the edge of the sheet Camera-ready — to-be-printed copy and/or artwork requiring no additional layout, positioning, redrawing or typesetting — in other words, it is prepared to be photographed for a negative or printing plate Caption/cutline — in typography and page layout, any strictly descriptive text accompanying an illustration, located beneath, alongside or above it CMYK — abbreviation for cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black), the four process colors C M Y K DPI — dots per inch is a unit of measurement used to describe the resolution of printed output *All definitions compiled by the Hereford Publications Inc. staff.

Glossy

image resolution and size, helps achieve a quality look. “It is important to send original photo files to keep the high resolution and image quality,” she recommends. For example, downloading photos from social media results in problems because photos are downsized, or saved as a smaller file size with lower resolution, when uploaded to social media. Every time a photo is downloaded from social media, it is downsized again. Every design piece is different, whether in size or purpose, which is

why it is important to be attentive to design specifications, or specs. Specs, such as page size, can be commonly misconstrued. Dimensions for a “full-page ad” vary depending on the specific publication and issue. For instance, full-size specs in the glossy issues differ from those in the tabloid issues of the Hereford World. Sharon Blank, graphic designer for HPI, dives into detail saying, “A full page ad in a state directory is not the same size as a full page in the magazine or a catalog. An 8.5-by-11-inch ad does not convert to a 5.5-by-8.5-inch ad.” While it may seem complex, the CS team with HPI is always ready to answer questions and provide services as best they can. If you are unsure the content you have is the right quality, or if you simply do not understand the specifications of your design project, questions are always welcomed. “When working with designers, if you do not understand or question something, always ask. There is always someone here who can help,” Wolfgang says.

biology followed with a second degree in chemistry. She was a member of the American Hereford Association, the Midville Garden Club and the treasurer of the Vidette United Methodist Church. Valarie worked at Star Choices in Macon, Ga., for four years, where her caregiving nature excelled. Later, becoming a stay-at-home mom, she decided selling Juice Plus might be fun. Already a health enthusiast, she quickly became a top seller and devoted customer. Valarie was an integral part of Mead Cattle and enjoyed a new venture at McGraw Furniture. She had a great love for gardening and flowers, known well by all as a complete ray of sunshine. A loving mother to four children, family was always Valarie’s number one priority. She could always see the good in everything and truly graced the lives of everyone she met. She was a faithful Christian who read three devotionals every day. Without a doubt, she is getting her devotionals in person today. Valarie was preceded in death by her mother, Connie Bailey Burgamy; her maternal grandparents, Jack and Lorrine Blount Bailey; her paternal grandparents, Luke and Betty Burgamy; her aunt, Bobbie Bailey Mobley; and her uncle, Mike Bailey.

raising cattle. This past fall marked 48 years of selling 4-H club calves to local 4-H kids and their families. Gale was always ready to place the best calf with the right kid and loved to see each kid thrive with his/her calf, whether it was his own grandkids or another 4-H member. Over the years, Gale was involved in several organizations, American Hereford Association, American Chianina Association, American Simmental Association and American Maine-Anjou Association. Gale loved spending time at the sale barns and all the coffee shops in between. If Gale was not at the farm with his cattle, he was hauling hay to the hay sales or livestock. Gale loved his life on his farm and shared it with his family and everyone around him.

Gale Eugene Laudeman, 70, Bremen, Ind., passed away Dec. 18, 2020. Gale was born to Richard and Lorene (Munsell) July 30, 1950, Gale Laudeman in Bremen, Ind. He is survived by his wife, Connie Jo (Boggs) Laudeman, of 51 years. They together have three sons: Todd (Cassie) of Bremen, Ind., Bryan of Bremen, Ind., and Jason (Jen) of Bourbon, Ind. Gale and Connie share four grandkids, Chase, Bailey, Taylor and Owen. Gale is also survived by two brothers, Doug (Nancy) of Bremen, Ind., and Kent (Dianne) of Niles, Ind. Gale was a person who loved livestock, whether it was his cattle at his farm or livestock that he hauled for others. He loved agriculture and lived it every day. Gale was very passionate about the 4-H program and the Indiana Hereford Association. There was not a person he didn’t know at any show or event he attended, and everyone knew who Gale Laudeman was; all the kids knew where to get the gumballs, and all the adults knew where to get all the gruff. In 1995, Gale and Connie started selling Umbarger Show Feeds from their farm. Gale enjoyed selling feed as a way of helping the youth succeed with their livestock projects. He enjoyed being out in the feed shop helping the customers and talking with everyone who came to buy feed. He and Connie built a successful feed business together. They, along with their sons, have always been very passionate about

Daniel Robert Riker, 59, Ionia, Mich., passed away Dec. 18, 2020. He was a loving husband, son, brother, uncle and friend. Dan Daniel Riker was born in Lansing, Mich., the son of Robert and Sylvia (Ferris) Riker. Dan was a graduate of Portland High School Class of 1980, where he made many lasting friendships that continued throughout his life. He worked for Snyder Farm Supply and later was a Pioneer seed salesman. He completed the mighty DALMAC (Dick Allen Lansing to MACkinaw) bicycle ride multiple times, and he enjoyed showing his Hereford cattle. The highlight of Dan’s cattle showing career came on his birthday in 2010 when his bull, Gus, was named the reserve national champion. More recently in October, Dan and his wife, Robin, were inducted into the Michigan Hereford Association Hall of Merit for breeding, showing and promoting the Hereford breed. Preceding Dan in death are an infant sister and brother and his mother-in-law, Laurey Bower. Dan is survived by his loving wife, Robin (Bower) Riker; his parents, Robert and Sylvia Riker; siblings, Jane Riker, Steve Riker and Dennis (Angie) Riker; father-in-law, Jim Bower; brother-in-law, Michael (Jennifer) Bower; nieces and nephew, Kendra (Marc) Irrer, Sierra (Ryne Musbach) Riker, Rachel (Skyler) Selby and Mitch Riker; his beloved canine companion, Sassy; and several special friends.

Rickey Eugene Hickenbottom, 66, Carthage, Ill., passed away Dec. 27, 2020. He was born July 18, 1954, in Macomb, Ill., Rickey to Charles “Gene” Hickenbottom and Dorothy “Joann” Williams Hickenbottom. He was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his stepson, Mitchell Curry of Henrico, Va; his sisters, Cathy (Dan) Dillard of Lisle, Ill., and Vicky (Jeff) Keever of Media, Ill; niece, Jana (Travis Horton) Dillard; and nephews, Justin (Rachel) Dillard, Cory (Stacy) Dillard, Ryan (Jodi) Keever and Kyle Keever. He also has several great-nieces and -nephews, and aunts, uncles and cousins. He had a special bond with his cousin, Kurt Hickenbottom, who shared a common interest in cattle production. They spent many hours working together, and Rick was instrumental in the breeding, feeding and marketing of sale cattle. One highlight of theirs was breeding and exhibiting the grand champion Angus heifer at the Illinois State Fair in 1988. Rick grew up on a small farm near Raritan, Ill. He loved working with the livestock, especially his purebred Shorthorn cattle. He was so proud when his Shorthorn heifer, Lucky Charm, had a pure white calf he named Lady Luck. He carried that little calf to and from the barn to the showring at the muddy county fair to keep her clean. He was an active member of the Raritan Explorers 4-H Club, winning the DARE Award. He was very active in the FFA club all through high school and earned many awards. Rick graduated from Southern High School in 1972 and from Western Illinois University (WIU) in 1976, receiving his bachelor’s in animal science. While attending WIU, he was on the livestock judging team and a member of the Alpha Gamma Sigma fraternity. Lifelong friends were made and so were many stories and fun times. After graduation, he started working for the American Hereford Association (AHA) in Kansas City, Mo., as a field representative. He was also a representative for the Hereford Journal. Rick had a gift for capturing the perfect pictures. After a few years, he continued working in the cattle industry for Premier Angus, Weaver Farms, Florida Cattlemen’s Association and the Virginia Angus Association. He worked for Southern States, CASE NH, Bear Creek Boar Stud, and retired from Carlisle Farms July 31, 2020. Rick was described by friends as a guy with a friendly smile, a firm handshake and an encouraging word. Many will tell you Rick had a keen sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh. He loved his family, but his greatest love was working with young cattle breeders. He taught many Hereford.org

kids to appreciate the excitement of owning, caring for and grooming their animals for the showring. You could find him near the ring with a comb in one hand and a brush in the other to give that calf a last-minute touch-up if needed or an encouraging word to the young exhibitor. Rick married Eileen Curry July 7, 2001, in Richmond, Va., and they later divorced. Rick was so proud of his stepson, Mitchell. He was always ready to share a story or picture of him. All you had to do was say, “How is Mitchell?” and the smile on his face showed his love and pride for him.

Rick was a man of strong faith and loved the Lord.
