Herd Renewal

Merritt Ranch increases cow productivity with Hereford bulls and heterosis.

by Wes Ishmael

“M

other cows are probably worth more now, historically, than they’ve ever been worth. So, having a really solid mother cow herd that lasts a long time is as good as money in the bank,” says Joseph Merritt of Merritt Ranch, Porterville, Calif.

Merritt and his family were aiming for tougher, more productive mother cows when they reintroduced Hereford bulls to their program about five years ago. Merritt’s grandfather had a Hereford herd when he began the family’s ranch in the early 1970s. However, like many commercial producers, the Merritts followed industry trends toward heavier, leaner carcasses, using a lot of Simmental, and then making the herd black in the name of carcass quality and marketability.

As the herd became more straightbred black, Merritt says fertility declined and cow costs increased. Keep in mind, the Merritt Ranch covers some sprawling, unforgiving geography with cows running from about 500 feet in elevation to nearly 6,000 feet, with the associated variation in topography and moisture.

“We needed more hybrid vigor in our mother cow herd,” Merritt says. “We just needed tougher cows.”

More fertility and longevity

Merritt explains their Hereford-sired F1 black baldy females are accomplishing numerous goals with improved fertility and mothering ability. They breed back on time and consistently wean a calf.

“Just how long they last,” Merritt says.

“We put a number iron on our mother cows to know when they’re giving us their first calf and those black baldy cows just seem to really last a long, long time. So that’s why we want to retain as many of those heifers as we can.”

Merritt emphasizes all of these things to the seedstock producers who supply him Hereford bulls. As well, he explains, “The three major traits that I look for and ask for are polled, eye pigment and low birth weight.”

Joseph Merritt (above) and his family continue to build the cattle operation begun by his grandfather in the early 1970s. Cattle at Merritt Ranch, near Porterville, Calif., cover lots of diverse topography and moisture, running from about 500 feet in elevation to nearly 6,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The Merritts reintroduced Hereford bulls to toughen up their cow herd with hybrid vigor and increased productivity. Except for replacement heifers, the Merritts retain ownership in all of their calves through the feedlot.

Merritt explains his Hereford-sired black baldy heifers retain their body condition and breed back easier than their straightbred black counterparts.

“In the past, we’ve had lots of heifers that have kind of gone the other direction but these Hereford-influenced crossbred females seem to just hold up better, staying in the right body condition for a better breed back while still producing a very strong, healthy calf,” Merritt explains.

“We’ve got a lot of replacement heifers that are now black baldies that just have amazing udder structure. They’re great milkers,” Merritt says. “I think Herefords typically used to be thought as not having enough milk. You can definitely tell these cows are great moderate milkers, not too heavy, not too light; the proof is in the calves they wean.”

Plus, Merritt explains the Hereford-influenced cattle are gentler and easier to manage.

“In the past, we’ve had a herd of cows that you wouldn’t dare bring the kids out to come help gather, and that has changed a lot in the past few years, especially with the influence of the Hereford genetics,” Merritt says.

“Now it’s fairly safe for the family to be able to come out and for the kids to be able to enjoy gathering and working the cattle. We’ve definitely seen the docility change with the Hereford influence, as well as in implementing different handling techniques.”

Range-tough bulls

Hereford bulls themselves are an added benefit on the cost side of the ledger at Merritt Ranch.

“The Hereford bulls have done really well. They stay sound and have plenty of libido. They’re out really covering country and chasing cows. They do a good job.

They’ve held up well in terms of structure, fertility and everything,” Merritt says. “We use our bulls four to five years just to keep away from any venereal diseases. Even if they’re still a 100% sound, we usually sell them and try to keep bringing in some new genetics.”

Hereford.org

Hereford-influenced Cattle Make the Grade Merritt Ranch added the advantages of heterosis to its black herd with Hereford bulls without sacrificing feedlot and carcass performance.

“Ultimately, we’re still able to go back to a black calf crop for marketing purposes but getting our F1 cross on our mother cows,” says Joseph Merritt, Merritt Ranch.

The Merritts retain ownership in all of their calves through the feedlot.

Today that means everything but the replacements.

Feedlot performance is impressive.

“In the last few years, 98% of our cattle have graded Choice, and in a number of batches of cattle we’ve been 20%-plus grading Prime,” Merritt says. He notes carcass performance is also a priority in his bull selection, both Angus and Hereford.

“You absolutely have a feed efficiency advantage when you put Hereford-influenced cattle on feed,” says Lee Mayo, general manager of HRC Feed Yards LLC, Scott City, Kan. “With feed costs the way they’ve been the last two or three years, there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that the most profitable cattle have been the cattle that have gained and converted as cheaply and as efficiently as possible.”

HRC Feed Yards is a custom-feeding operation with a onetime capacity of 60,000 head.

“If you just gain a half a pound a day better, your cost of gain goes down about 20 cents per pound when corn costs $6 per bushel. That’s a multiple.

It multiplies over the 700 pounds that we put on them, and that ends up being real serious dollars by the time we’re done,” Mayo says.

While he says Herefords are the most feed efficient breed, Mayo also notes the hybrid vigor that comes with crossbreds always offers added production and economic advantages.

At the same time, Mayo explains, “There are darned sure some Hereford genetics out there that’ll make the upper two-thirds of Choice and qualify for Certified Hereford Beef®. We appreciate those, and we’re trying to identify more through the programs that we’re using. But especially if you crossbreed them, with the advantages of heterosis, the Hereford-influenced cattle will qualify. We sell a lot of Hereford-based steers through Certified Hereford Beef, Certified Angus Beef® as well as Black Canyon® Angus Beef and a lot of the premium programs.”

Economic Returns New economic analysis highlights how much more Hereford and heterosis contribute to the bottom line of commercial cow-calf operations.

by Wes Ishmael

U

sing Hereford bulls rather than Angus bulls in commercial Angus herds significantly increases an operation’s net worth per cow and the average income generated per cow over time, according to a recent analysis conducted by the University of Tennessee (UT).

“The key reason is the value of maternal heterosis, in general terms, and the specific performance advantages inherent to the Hereford breed,” explains Charley Martinez, UT Extension livestock economist. “For instance, previous

commercial Angus calves. There are fewer open cows with the black baldy females each year, less cow depreciation and more calves to market. At the same time, direct heterosis adds weaning and yearling weight to each calf marketed.”

Martinez conducted the analysis for the AHA, utilizing previous AHA research documenting the performance of Hereford bulls compared to Angus bulls when used on Angus-based cowherds. Specially, he examined the impact for a herd of 30 cows and a herd of 500 cows.

Martinez used 10-year price projections from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri. Estimated acreage and management decisions were based on USDA’s Structure, Management Practices, and Production Costs of U.S. Beef Cow-Calf Farms (2023). Annual budgets were created based on state cow-calf budgets.

“Using the USDA publication, we have the number of acres associated with the operations, the fixed costs associated with them, the feed costs and any cash reserves that a producer would have, on average, and then we project forward using FAPRI prices,” Martinez explains.

In broad terms, for each herd size of the Hereford-sired and Angus-sired calves, the model uses random pools of performance Using Hereford bulls rather than Angus sires on commercial Angus cows bolstered the herd’s income by more data, cost data, expenses and income. than 20% over a decade, according to new research. This added income comes largely from the maternal heterosis of black baldy replacements.

Each model represents 500 simulations for each year of the 10 years. Next, Martinez research conducted for the American Hereford Association evaluated the difference between the Hereford and Angus (AHA) documented a 7% pregnancy advantage and a models for annual net farm income and net worth. weaning weight advantage of 12.1 pounds for Hereford“Cash is king. Producers always ask us about net farm sired commercial black baldies compared to Angus-sired income. That’s what determines their tax liability and Sources: 1Net farm income accounts for all receipts from sales and fixed and variable costs.

cash reserves,” Martinez says. “Any decision that impacts cashflow has long-term effects. The decision to alter what you buy or not sell, for instance, has a short-run effect on a producer’s net farm income in a given year.”

Longer term, all of those decisions contribute to net worth over time.

“People who choose to run cattle on their land are choosing to utilize those resources to generate wealth into the future rather than using the same resources to invest in the stock market, as an example,” Martinez explains. “Take your three classic financial documents, the income statement, your cashflow statement and your balance sheet. They show your operation’s net worth, and a key part of that is current assets including cash on hand. That’s why cash is king from an accounting standpoint.”

MANAGEMENT

More with Less Milk energy’s role in beef cow efficiency.

by David Lalman and Sam Talley

A

simple definition of an efficient cow is one that calves early and weans a big, healthy calf every year without requiring an excessive amount of forage or supplemental feed. Our research program is guided by the long-term goal to develop a practical way to identify beef cows that excel at converting forage to a healthy weaned calf. Milk is a key factor in cow efficiency because it contributes to both sides of the equation: the output side, in terms of calf growth and immunity; and the input side, in terms of cow cost and fleshing ability. Fleshing ability (or body composition) has long been associated with fertility.

We find tremendous variation in milk yield and milk composition We have only scratched in every group of cows we test for efficiency at Oklahoma State the surface of the University (OSU). Each cow is opportunity available milked with a machine about every three weeks. The milk is to improve beef sampled and tested for fat, protein, lactose and other solids. With the production through combination of milk yield and milk efficient forage utilization composition, we can determine the amount of milk energy a cow is in the cow herd. producing for her calf each day. The — David Lalman, energy is measured and expressed Oklahoma State University in megacalorie (mcal) units. For perspective, a pound of dry rolled corn contains about 1 mcal of net energy.

In the current experiment, a group of 4-year-old contemporaries are fed all the unprocessed (long-stem) grass hay they can eat. The hay contains about 14% protein, which is above the protein requirement for a lactating beef cow. Therefore, the cows receive no supplement other than salt and mineral. Daily hay intake is measured in a unique facility designed specifically to measure individual hay intake in beef cows.

Wide variation

In this group of cows, mid-lactation milk yield is averaging 18 pounds, but ranges from 11 pounds to 28 pounds. Milk fat content is averaging 4.5%, with a low of 3.5% and a high of 7.4%. Daily milk energy production is averaging 7 mcal, but ranges from a low of 3.5 to a high of 9.4 mcal.

One logical way to look at cow efficiency might be the ratio of hay intake to mcal of milk energy produced. Sort of like a feed to gain ratio for a cow instead of a feedlot steer. One cow in this group is consuming 11.4 pounds of hay to every 1 mcal of milk energy she produces. That’s

18

| January 2024

some expensive milk. At the other end of the spectrum, one cow is consuming only 3.3 pounds of hay for each 1 mcal of milk energy she produces. The surprising thing is the efficient cow only consumes 31 pounds of hay each day, whereas the inefficient cow is averaging 40 pounds of hay consumed each day.

As mentioned previously, body weight change and therefore, body composition change is an important trait in overall cow efficiency. As common sense and reams of research data indicate, there is a negative correlation between milk yield and cow body weight change during lactation. This correlation is around -0.40 in the literature.

This is the fundamental concept behind the long-standing caution that genetic potential for milk energy yield can outpace a ranch’s forage system in terms of nutrient supply.

Where that threshold or sweetspot for milk lies is at least partially dependent on the forage system and the cost of external feed inputs.

Since the correlation between milk yield and cow body weight is not perfect, there are likely some cows that can produce an abundance of milk and maintain their condition better than their herdmates. It also suggests there are likely some cows that lose condition while producing very little milk energy. This speaks to the examples of efficient and inefficient cows cited earlier. Up to now, in this OSU project, the inefficient cow has lost 45 pounds, while the efficient cow has gained 25 pounds.

To summarize, the inefficient cow is producing very little milk, losing weight and eating a lot of forage.

Contrast those characteristics with an efficient cow that is producing a tremendous amount of milk, gaining weight, and consuming an amount of hay that is about average in this contemporary group. We have discovered that this degree of variation in cow efficiency exists in nearly every contemporary group we test.

Likely, everyone has efficient and inefficient cows in their pasture. The problem is that measuring these traits is time consuming, costly and requires intense labor and data management. Our group, along with other scientists, are working towards applying various technologies to rank cows for forage intake and energy (forage) use efficiency.

One thing is for sure, we have only scratched the surface of the opportunity available to improve beef production through efficient forage utilization in the cow herd.

Market Tracks the market channel sooner than expected, along with the strong prices, according to Peel. As well, he explains feeder cattle imports from Mexico were 49% more year over year, boosted by drought in Mexico and price levels.

He says most of those imports likely headed straight to the feedlot.

in the second quarter at $247 and $2 higher in the third quarter at $260.

The annual average price for this year was lowered by $1.50 to $252.25.

Expectations for increasing feeder cattle prices in the second half of this year are based in part on fewer cattle available as time unfolds.

“The larger than expected level of placements during September led to about 4% or 1.1 million head fewer cattle outside feedlots on Oct. 1 that are available for placements in the coming months,” ERS analysts say. “Since the Cattle on Feed series began in 1996, this is a record low for supplies outside feedlots estimated on Oct. 1.”

MARKETS

attle prices continue at historically high levels as the nation’s beef cow herd continues to contract, but they ran into overhead resistance in October and November as Cattle futures melted in the face of more cattle on feed and beef production for the first half of next year (see Herd Rebuilding on Hold on Page 40).

The USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) increased forecast beef production for next year by 535 million pounds (+2.1%) compared to the previous month at 25.8 billion pounds.

That was based on more expected steer and heifer placements — ultimate marketings — for the remainder of this year and the first part of 2024.

The larger than expected level of placements during September has led to about 4% or 1.1 million head fewer cattle outside feedlots on Oct. 1 that are available for placements in the coming months. Since the Cattle on Feed series began in 1996, this is a record low for supplies outside feedlots estimated on Oct. 1.

— ERS analysts Increased feedlot placements in September and October added about 200,000 head to feedlot inventories, according to Derrell Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension livestock marketing specialist, in his late-November market comments.

However, he emphasizes the surge mainly represents feedlots pulling cattle forward.

Ongoing drought in some areas has likely encouraged some cattle entering

At the middle of November, near-Feb Live Cattle futures were $11.87 lower month to month and down $17.55 in two months. During the same period, spot Feeder Cattle futures were down $20.62 and $37.42, respectively.

Although cash calf, feeder and fed cattle prices were pressured, they remained significantly higher year over year, supported by longer-term supply fundamentals (see Table).

ERS reduced the expected fivearea direct fed steer price for the remainder of this year and next, in the December World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE).

Based on increased expected feedlot placements in late 2023 that will be marketed next year, and current prices compared to the previous month, ERS lowered the expected fourth-quarter price this year by $7 to $178 per hundredweight (cwt). The projected annual 2023 price was $1.75 lower at $175.55. For 2024, prices were sliced by $10 in the first quarter to $175, $9 in the second quarter to $184 and $5 in the third quarter to $177. The forecast annual average price for 2024 was reduced $7 to $178.

ERS also reduced last year’s fourth-quarter feeder steer price (750800 pounds, Oklahoma City) by $14 to $240 per cwt., and the annual average price for this year by $3.50 to $221.11 in November’s Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook. Prices were forecast $9 less in the first quarter of this year at $240, $1 less

Depending on who’s running the pencil, domestic consumer beef demand continues to be extraordinarily resilient amid historically high retail prices. With that said, the inability of wholesale Choice beef prices to budge much seasonally suggests inflation and higher interest rates could be applying some drag.

“The demand index for beef appears to be resetting closer to prepandemic levels but may lose further ground as price increases are expected to continue in the next few years,” say analysts with the Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC) in the Livestock Monitor.

LMIC’s demand index for all fresh beef was 115 in the second quarter of 2023, slightly higher than 111 in 2019, but lower than in 2020-22.

LMIC analysts note a similar trend for the third quarter with an index value of 110, but they say it has declined every year since 2020.

At the same time, reduced domestic beef production and high prices are challenging international consumers of U.S. beef.

September beef exports of 98,757 metric tons (mt) were 15% less year over year and the lowest of 2023, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF). Value declined 12% to $795.5 million.

For January through September, beef exports were 13% below last year’s record pace in volume

“U.S. beef continues to face tough sledding in our Asian markets, where weakness in major currencies persist and consumer confidence remains guarded,” says Dan Halstrom, USMEF president and CEO. “We have seen several Asian trading partners step up efforts to stimulate their economies and ease pressure on consumers. In the meantime, bright spots for U.S. beef continue to emerge in the Western Hemisphere, led by strong demand in Mexico.”

Beef export value per head of fed slaughter was $398.73 in September, just 2% less than a year earlier.

A sure fire heifer bull and a 57 pound actual with a great calving ease figure. He also excels with elite marbling, ribeye and $CHB combined with plenty of growth. We sold his sire to ABS and his dam is a first calf heifer by the young performance giant Belle Heir.

This is a perfect blend of genetics with the power and performance of Guardian and the moderate maternal young donor 0119. All of the indicators lead you to believe this young sire has everything a cattlemen is searching for. Top shelf carcass genetics and maternal quality with the color and pigment.

Here is a Denver pen bull with as much real muscle and shape as any. Dark red color with loads of pigment and one of the first Guardian sons to sell. This will be one of the top horned bull calves for sale this season.

C 6011 BELLE AIR 3169

This is one that we have been excited about all summer and he continues to impress. These Barracuda bulls are incredible but this sire is double bred for IMF being out of a Validated daughter who is a trait leader for carcass quality. He puts this together with low birth high calving ease indicators and has the pigment and look.

This will be the lead off bull in our 2024 Denver pen. He already has a win under his belt as he was named the 2023 Champion Horned Bull in Reno. He has the look and color pattern of a herd bull with so much power and performance. His mother 4264 is also the mother of herd sire Belle Heir, Real Deal, and grandmother of Guardian.

This horned Belle Air son brings a lot to the table with his tabulations and phenotype. He is a natural calf out of a first calf heifer with a 78lb actual birth weight and big weaning and yearling predictions. His pedigree is very predictable.

C REIGN MAKER 3210 ET

We are very excited about this one and feel he has the opportunity to be as good as any we have produced. His donor dam 1311 has produced over 1.6 million dollars in progeny and is also the mother of Arlo who was the top selling bull and lead off bull in our Denver pen. He truly has it all with elite phenotype and EPD’s that offer calving ease, performance, maternal and carcass all in one.

C 0321 8140 ENDURE 3229 ET

This young sire should have the ability to pass on as much carcass merit as any available. His mother is one of our top IMF cows and had elite ratios when she was scanned. She is a full sister to Belle Heir and 8037 who is Guardian’s mother. The unique thing about this bull is his calving ease and carcass in one.

MARKETS

even with historically high calf and feeder cattle prices, buyers continued to pay a premium for many of the 8,627 head selling in 12 special Hereford and Herefordinfluenced sales in eight states since the end of August.

“Quality and consistency continued to be the theme of the cattle that topped these sales,” says Aaron Friedt, the American Hereford Association (AHA) field representative attending the sales in Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas. “Reputation commercial herds utilizing bulls from reputation registered herds saw great success.”

Although there were plenty of load lots, Friedt notes consignors of smaller groups also often enjoyed premiums as buyers could build full loads of same-type cattle.

“The futures market has soured a bit, but cash has held fairly well across my territory,” Friedt says.

“Cattle are still in short supply, and the national herd has yet to begin rebuilding (see Herd Rebuilding on Hold, Page 40).

Valor

REG: 44076080 Victor x Extra Deep

VALOR is no stranger to the breed and is now available through Select Sires. A proven Calving Ease sire that also excels for maternal and terminal genetics, VALOR can take the guess work out of sire selection and provide a predictable result.

VALOR is one of the few Hereford sires that combines a top 5% ranking for BW while still displaying adequate muscle and a top 3% ranking for REA. Look for VALOR to add substance in a Calving Ease package with added doability and carcass.

Several of his sons have been highly sought after by breeders and A.I. studs. It’s never too late to add VALOR to your breeding program!

Kid 9023

REG: 44039432 SMALL TOWN KID x Revolution 4180

KID 9023 comes onto the scene as a semi-proven sire that offers the complete package of calving ease, growth, maternal and carcass! His EPD profile is undeniable, ranking in the top 5% or better for 11 traits and all three indexes. Sired by SMALL TOWN KID, a former Hereford sales-leader at Accelerated Genetics/Select Sires, KID 9023 is homozygous polled and MD-free. While we love his EPD profile, his real value might be the type and kind he sires. Several KID 9023 sons have already entered into prominent breeding programs across the country.

His sons are masculine and offer extra frame and growth while his daughters are feminine, correct and are calving in with tremendous udder quality and balance.

Objective Pricing The move toward embracing genetic information to determine feeder cattle value.

V

MARKETS

irtually all the calves and feeder cattle traded each year are valued based on rational but subjective assumptions, such as how likely a group of calves is to stay healthy; to convert feed and gain weight within a given set of parameters; and to hang carcasses with the weight, quality and yield grade to capture premiums rather than suffer discounts.

Although often honed by lots of experience, these value points are subjective even if a buyer has previous success with a producer’s

cattle. That’s because often little is known about the specific genetics of the cattle they are buying, even though genetics determine approximately a third of an animal’s growth, feedlot efficiency and carcass performance.

“If you look at crops, pork, poultry, dairy and virtually all other agricultural products, genetics are heavily emphasized,” explains Ken Odde, former head of the Kansas State University animal sciences and industry department. “Yet in the beef industry, we trade millions of

Without objective genetic information on potential growth rate, feed efficiency, marbling and other key traits, we cannot accurately project how a given group of cattle will perform or how valuable their carcasses will be. That lack of genetic information creates a big hole in our ability to price cattle according to their true value.”

Filling this canyon-deep void and enabling more accurate pricing prompted creation of the Genetic Merit Pricing Task Force (GMP Task Force), which Odde facilitates.

“When you consider the success objective genetic information brought to our seedstock market over the past several decades, you get some idea what could happen in the feeder cattle market,” says Tom Brink, Red Angus Association of America CEO and one of the GMP Task Force founders. “Industry-wide genetic improvement will progress more rapidly when genetic information is part of the price discovery process, and that benefits everyone from ranch to consumer.”

Brink and a few others began discussing how to tackle the problem about two years ago, understanding that such a mammoth evolution required collective industry will.

Documenting the need

Brink, who has deep roots in the cattle feeding business, conducted a survey of cattle feeders representing 35-40% of the nation’s aggregate cattle feeding capacity. Feedlots ranged in size from 1,000 head to more than 100,000. The average feedlot size was 28,130 head.

He also talked to leading buyers, backgrounders, auction managers and industry experts.

“Perhaps the biggest surprise was how strong the feelings are out in the country that the feeder cattle market needs to change,” Brink says.

“For instance, even though the current emphasis on hide color is decades old, more than 90% of respondents want a future that is different from the past. They have little affinity for a future that is a mere extension of the present; they made a lot of comments along those lines.”

In the beef industry, we trade millions of feeder cattle and calves annually, while knowing next to nothing about their genetics. Without objective genetic information on potential growth rate, feed efficiency, marbling and other key traits, we cannot accurately project how a given group of cattle will perform or how valuable their carcasses will be. That lack of genetic information creates a big hole in our ability to price cattle according to their true value.

type of information to prospective buyers, and then buyers effectively using the information as they price cattle.

Moreover, a growing number of industry organizations are supporting the effort (see GMP Task Force Funding Partners and On-record Supporters).

“We are pleased with the broad-based industry support we have received thus far,” Odde says. “We are in conversation with many other key cattle Taking flight — Ken Odde, former head of the Kansas State University organizations at the Armed with growing animal sciences and industry department current time.

MARKETS

Herd Rebuilding on Hold Prices are high but apparently not high enough.

by Wes Ishmael

A

lthough historically high, cattle prices have yet to yield enough profit to trigger national herd expansion, according to James Mitchell, Extension livestock economist at the University of Arkansas in an issue of Cattle Market Notes Weekly.

Mitchell explains relative profitability is one of the key differences between low cattle numbers currently and the similar situation in 2014-15.

“The Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC) estimates 2023 cash costs at $1,088 per cow, which implies a breakeven price of $218 per hundredweight (cwt.) for a 500-pound steer. In 2014, cow costs were $879, resulting in a breakeven price of $176 Relative profitability per cwt.,” Mitchell explains. “Enterprise and cattle markets in 2023 are still needs to improve budgets projecting a profit for cow-calf producers.

However, relative profitability still needs before seeing herd to improve before seeing herd expansion expansion on a on a noticeable scale.”

Mitchell points to drought as perhaps noticeable scale. the most important difference between — James Mitchell, today and 2014-2015. Back then, 20% University of Arkansas of the nation’s cattle inventory were in drought areas at the end of October.

This year, he notes 37% were impacted by drought (see Looking Ahead, Page 73).

“Other differences are due to a cattle industry that has undergone significant structural change since 2014,” Mitchell says.

Based on beef cow slaughter so far this year, the beef cow inventory at the beginning of next year is likely to be at least 2.5% less year over year, explains Derrell Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension livestock marketing specialist, in his late-November market comments.

Peel points out the beef cow inventory of 28.9 million head at the beginning of 2023 was 3.6% less than the previous year and the fewest since 1962. More importantly, he says the inventory of beef replacement heifers at the time — 5.16 million head — was 5.8% less year over year. Replacement heifers and heifers expected to calve were the fewest since 2011.

As well, Peel notes the inventory of heifers available for breeding (total replacement heifer inventory minus heifers

40

| January 2024

expected to calve) at the beginning of last year was the fewest in 23 years of available data.

“It seems likely that the available supply of bred heifers will remain limited in 2024. The beef cow herd will be smaller in 2024 and holding the inventory stable next year (2024) may be the most likely outcome,” Peel says.

The USDA’s semiannual Cattle report with the Jan. 1 beef cow inventory for this year is scheduled for release Jan. 31.

In the meantime, USDA estimated beef production for this year at 26 billion pounds in the December World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates. That was 825 million pounds more (+3.3%) than the September estimate and a key reason cattle futures crumbled in October and November and continued to plumb for a bottom through mid-December (see Market Tracks, Page 24). If it comes to pass, this year’s beef production would be 942 million pounds less (-3.5%) than last year.

Estimated beef production bloomed as more cattle were pulled forward in response to lingering drought, historically high prices and the lack of expansion incentive noted by Mitchell.

Fundamentals suggest higher animal protein prices

Higher animal protein production costs and tighter supplies will push global animal protein prices higher and constrain global consumption in 2024, according to Rabobank’s annual Global Animal Protein Outlook report.

Input costs and inflation are likely to decline, but will remain higher than pre-pandemic levels, explains the report. Also, structural changes will challenge supply chains. For instance, Rabobank analysts say demographic shifts will tighten the labor market, increasing production costs, while less population growth will slow consumption.

Moreover, cattle cycles here and abroad, coupled with weather, are shifting global beef trade patterns, according to the Rabobank report. In the Unites States, Rabobank analysts explain high prices, declining production and relative strength of the U.S. dollar continue to pose headwinds to U.S. beef exports. Even with higher prices, those analysts say there are signs that consumers in some markets are willing to pay a quality premium.

GENETICS

Renaissance Cowman Jarold Callahan’s industry experience recognized by the Saddle and Sirloin Club.

by Katie Maupin Miller

P

ortraits of stockmen line the Kentucky Exposition Center. The likeness of the industry’s most outstanding livestock breeders, feeders, educators, marketers and evaluators make up the hallowed Saddle and Sirloin Club Portrait Gallery. Yet even in the country’s largest portrait collection of its kind, one would be hardpressed to find a single subject that touched as many facets of the industry quite like the 378th inductee — Jarold Callahan. Callahan is, by all accounts, a modern-day beef industry Renaissance Man. “Jarold is just a special person and a tremendous leader who has served so admirably in many different areas,” says Jack Ward, American Hereford Association (AHA) executive vice president. “Being involved in the commercial industry and feeding cattle, he is just as comfortable there as he is standing in the ring and slapping the champion of any breed.

All of the success stems from a real love for the industry.”

From the classroom to the capitol

Callahan’s lifelong love for the cattle industry started humbly on his family’s diversified farm near Welch, Okla.

When he wasn’t selecting feeder calves from the local sale barn for his family’s stocker operation, Callahan was forging a reputation as a bright kid with a keen eye for livestock and a natural propensity for leadership.

Throughout high school and college, Callahan remained at the top of his class and the top of many livestock judging competitions.

| January 2024

His knack for livestock evaluation and love of learning landed him in academia after receiving his bachelor’s degree in animal science from Oklahoma State University (OSU) and a master’s from the University of Arkansas. Callahan spent his first six years post-graduation at Northeast Oklahoma A&M College, coaching the judging team and serving as the animal science department head. During that time, he coached his junior college teams to wins at more than half of the contests they entered, and they never placed out of the top five before he returned to his alma mater. At OSU, Callahan built an equally impressive coaching record, standing behind three national championship teams and placing in the top five of 89% of the contests his teams attended over those nine years. Arguably more important, Callahan guided countless young people into the beef industry through his role as an animal science professor and OSU purebred beef cattle manager.

“Very few collegiate livestock judging coaches amassed a higher winning percentage than Jarold established during his coaching career. Furthermore, his winning teams yielded an extraordinary number of eventual beef industry leaders. This speaks to his mentorship and his broad and positive industry impact,” notes Shane Bedwell, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement.

Callahan left academia and coaching in 1991, although he continues to be a noted evaluator and a nationally recognized judge. He chose to advocate for Oklahoma cattlemen at the helm of the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Hereford.org

Pribil, owner of 4B Herefords and Jarold’s past student and employee. “The volume of bulls they sell and the amount of 10-, 15- and 20-bull customers they have amassed are a testament to the quality, customer service Association (OCA).

During this time, Callahan notably added simply a bonus. And it’s truly been a bonus for young both a foundation and junior association to OCA.

Callahan is just as comfortable sorting commercial stocker calves as he toward a common goal as This simple philosophy is sorting show cattle on the national stage. His diverse background they have for decades. has long guided how provides him with a complete picture of the cattle industry.

Callahan selects cattle, and it serves as the cornerstone of his three decades at Express Ranches, Yukon, Okla.

Callahan says cattle need to be sound, healthy, vigorous and fertile with good dispositions, but with the added performance the commercial cowman demands, whether that is in the pasture or on the rail. Added performance is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The ways commercial cattlemen profit from performance are often dependent on their environment, management style and the way they market their calves. Regardless of their operations’ business model, Callahan and his crew at Express offer Hereford and Angus bulls that cover the basics and then some — great bulls with added performance for extra profit.

Jim Birdwell, owner of Birdwell Ranch and purebred livestock auctioneer, notes that Jarold has the type of cattle sense to know purebreds need to do more than hang Callahan, pictured with his wife, Jennifer, is most proud of his family banners; they also need to pass down the genetics so their despite his numerous achievements and accolades. offspring can hang profitable carcasses.

“You can’t lose sight of the end product,” he adds.

“I personally get to see his daily strive for excellence.

Jarold Callahan, Express new friend and mentor.

Ranches president, finds that black baldy cattle prove profitable for their commercial cattlemen.

“Jarold Callahan is a cattleman “Commercially, there are advantages to a baldy female,” he says. “I think the crossbred female that just like you are. In his lifetime, his fits this part of the world the best, in my opinion, is the black baldy. You get a bump in heterosis. You experiences have been profitable for get a bump in breed-up.

When the National American Hereford Association (AHA) executive vice president Jack Western Stock Show had to Ward notes that innovative purebred operations that keep the commercial change plans during the pandemic, cattlemen in mind, such as Express, continue to push the bald-faced Callahan helped lead the charge to breed forward. create the Cattlemen’s Congress.

“The beef cattle business is kind of like a pyramid; at the top of the pyramid are the But he is quick to point out that seedstock producers. Their role is a little different than the next step because it influences behind each of his contributions the commercial producers and others down the line. At the top of this pyramid, you is a team of helpers and mentors, need to be challenged a little bit,” Ward says. “Jarold and the folks at Express Ranches from his father to OSU mentor are committed to using technology to provide their commercial customers with the and fellow Saddle and Sirloin best information they can to make genetic improvement.

“It takes a lot of good people to help you have any success,” Callahan says. “Whatever success I may be given the credit for, a lot of it’s due to the efforts of a lot of different people.”

With capacities on behalf of the cattle industry from joining every calf, there is hope, but there is also a challenge — the Oklahoma A&M Board of Regents to presiding over one that Callahan relishes. the American Angus Association. With each role, he “I’ve been interested in all of the cattle industry, has leveraged his deep, introspective nature, his years of trying to be a student of all of it because whatever industry experience and his natural leadership to help these you’re doing, it’s changing.

Takeaways

Poor heath was the primary driver of inferior feedlot and carcass performance, as it is across the industry.

Effective vaccination protocols and health management are foundational to performance in the feedlot and to ultimate carcass acceptability on the rail.

“That’s why we encourage people to vaccinate cattle,” says Garrett Parsons, Midwest PMS LLC. “Do everything you can to deliver the healthiest animal possible, so we can give it the best chance to thrive in the feedyard setting and then thrive on the rail for the packers and your bottom dollar.”

Older, bigger cattle tend to have fewer health issues, perform better and hang heavier carcasses. Dollars are left on the table when light cattle are sent to the feedyard.

Hereford breeders have heavy-muscled cattle with larger-than-expected ribeye areas for their size. The efficiency experts bring pounds of red meat to the rail.

Participate, participate, participate

Benefits of participating in the program are multifold.

Individual producers discover essential feedlot performance information and carcass data associated with the genetics they are using. This information also contributes to increasing accuracy of the breed’s genetic evaluation. Plus, participants unable to market load lots of fed cattle can also avoid the discount often applied to smaller groups of cattle.

“Not only do you get all the data back, not only do you learn about your genetics, but by co-mingling with us and doing what we’re doing, you are now moving up to the full pen cattle price,” explains Lee Mayo, general manager, HRC Feed Yards. “Even if the market goes a hundred dollars the wrong way, it’s probably still going to be better for those who send 10 to 15, 20 head.”

In other words, there is economic power in numbers.

“We can add money back to smaller producers’ pockets. If you have 20 head of steers to sell, I think we can actually get more money for you by feeding these cattle and putting them in this program,” Mayo says.

In 2024

The 2024 Fed Steer Shootout Field Day is scheduled for April 13, at HRC Feed Yards in Scott City.

Attendees can see their cattle on feed and participate in educational sessions.

The deadline for entering the 2024 NJHA Fed Steer Shootout has passed, but if producers have pen groups, (more than 50 head) delivery to HRC Feed Yards can be arranged at any time.

SIRE POWER for PROGRESSIVE COWMEN!

Calving Season’s Greetings Prepare for the upcoming calving season.

by Julia Herman, DVM and beef cattle specialist with National Cattlemen’s Beef Association

S

everal months (or years) of hard work have prepared you for this calving season. Some cow-calf producers may be calving toward the end of the winter while others are eagerly waiting for the spring calving season to start. Below are thoughts and recommendations for farmers and ranchers to consider prior to the first calf hitting the ground.

Vaccinations

CATTLE HEALTH

During the last trimester, preferably six to eight weeks prior to the start of calving, is a good time to run the cows through the chute for herd work.

In addition to checking for pregnancy and potentially marketing those cows who are not pregnant, this is prime time to give vaccinations, which boosts immunity in the cow and prepares the antibodies in the colostrum for the impending calf. Scours vaccines and a respiratory vaccine that covers the common respiratory pathogens [i.e., parainfluenza-3 virus (PI3), infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and a clostridium booster are highly recommended].

Other vaccination components to cover reproductive diseases such as leptospirosis or campylobacteriosis (previously known as vibriosis) may be useful. Always follow Beef Quality Assurance guidelines (BQA.org; funded by the Beef Checkoff) and adhere to label instructions closely when administering cattle health products. Working closely with your veterinarian will determine which vaccination protocols are beneficial in your area and for your specific herd.

Calving toolbox

Preparation and planning before a problem occurs will help lower your stress level should the need for intervention arise. In your calving

60

| January 2024

toolbox, you should have: a clean bucket, disinfectant such as betadine or chlorhexidine, OB lube, obstetric chains, handles, bag of rectal sleeves and latex gloves, more OB lube, a cow halter and a clean/dry calving area (if possible). Bright lights are a must, especially for late night calvings. If you have a calf puller or calf jack, it is essential that everyone is trained properly on how to use it safely and that it is functioning correctly.

It is also important to ensure you have supplies for after the calf is born. This inventory could include tags, a functional tagger, tagging pens, scales, colostrum replacer, milk replacer, esophageal tube feeder and potential supplements that your veterinarian recommends for your area. Ensuring your equipment is cleaned well and not worn out will set you up for greater success.

If colostrum quality or quantity is low, a colostrum replacement or supplement may be needed.

Colostrum replacement products generally have the recommended 150 grams of Immunoglobulin G (IgG; i.e., antibodies) versus colostrum supplement products which will have less than that amount. These alternatives should be available at your local vet clinic or feed store. Colostrum can also be frozen from cows whose calf did not survive or from a local dairy. Colostrum should be warmed or thawed slowly in a hot water bath as microwaves will damage the protein and inactivate the IgG. Ideally, colostrum (and milk replacer) should be around 105 degrees Fahrenheit when fed. Work with your veterinarian to confirm the products are what you want and need.

Biosecurity

Keeping the environment as clean as possible for new calves will help them

start off on the right hoof. Newborn calves’ immune systems are not fully developed until they are a few months old, so reducing the exposure to pathogens is important. Colostrum management is of utmost importance as this will provide passive immunity and a highly nutritious meal for the calf to keep itself warm.

Another strategy could include rotating pastures so those cows/ heifers that have not yet calved are moved to a fresh pasture about every 10-14 days. This reduces the risk of younger calves being exposed to scours pathogens carried by the older calves. Accurate records will keep pairs matched up as you move cattle to new pastures. For further guidelines on biosecurity, record keeping, and herd management, we encourage you to review the BQA program and update your certification. Finally, disinfecting equipment such as esophageal tube feeders and OB chains frequently will minimize chance of infection in both the dam and calf.

There’s a hack for that

A few calving hacks to leave with you as you await the arrival of your bouncing bundles of joy: • If your arms are short or you are having difficulty reaching the calf in the birth canal, consider lying the cow down on her side to better access the calf and assist with calving.

• Keep your OB lube on the floorboard of your pickup to keep it warm.

• For hard pulls or difficult calvings, fill a rectal sleeve full of ice or snow, tie off the end, and insert into the dam’s vagina to reduce inflammation.

Happy calving!

Timing of vaccines is important, relative to breeding. Administer vaccines at least 30 days prior to breeding season to help minimize any negative vaccine effects on fertility or embryonic losses due to infectious reproductive diseases.

Nutrition

Getting calves off to a good start and gaining efficiently is an important component of a successful reproductive career. As mentioned, heifers should be fed separately from mature cows to get the proper nutrition they need without competition.

Feed replacement heifers a quality, well-balanced ration that supports the appropriate growth rate to reach puberty and sexual maturity in the right time frame. Too fast of growth and too much fat accumulation is not good for reproductive development.

Overfed or over-conditioned heifers don’t cycle well, are not as fertile and can have calving difficulties.

The typical growth rate goal for heifers is an average daily gain of .75 to 1.25 pounds. At the time of first breeding, you want a body condition score (BCS) of 6 and the heifer to be at least 60% to 65% of her mature body weight.

Parasite management

Managing parasites is important for optimal immune function and reproductive health. Reducing the parasite load helps heifers get the nutrients they need to grow at the proper rate for reproductive development.

Research shows a parasite burden doesn’t need to be large before it negatively affects pregnancy rates and calf health. Deworming before pregnancy or at the start of the breeding season has proven to result in healthier calves with better survival rates.

A good rule of thumb is to deworm heifers at the time of weaning or on arrival, and again prior to breeding them.

Deworming cattle doesn’t have to be labor intensive. Using feed and mineral forms — such as range cubes, dewormer blocks or mineral — require relatively little time and labor.

Working with your veterinarian to conduct a fecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) is a valuable tool to determine the effectiveness of your deworming practices. It is important that 20 samples are taken both at the time of treatment and 14 days post-treatment. A successful deworming must result in a 90% or greater reduction in parasite eggs in feces.1 You can request a free FECRT kit from Merck Animal Health at merckanimal-health-usa.com/safe-guard/ cattle/products/fecrt-kit.

External parasite control is also important and often overlooked. It has been shown that 200 horn flies on an animal reduces performance, including reproductive performance.

A pour-on, broad-spectrum, longlasting residual insecticide for control of lice and horn flies is a great option.

Also, repellent ear tags, used alone or in conjunction with a pour-on insecticide, are another good option.

Hereford.org

Enhancing reproductive performance

Ideally, heifers should be bred four to six weeks prior to breeding the mature cowherd. If they don’t settle at first breeding, they have an opportunity to conceive during the next cycle and still calve around the same time as the mature cows.

Heifers that do settle on their first cycle will calve early in the calving season, which provides them more time to recover before the start of the next breeding season. Heifers conceiving early will also have increased lifetime production.

The use of prostaglandins is another cost-effective way to promote ovulation in pubescent heifers. A study2 comprised of non-cycling heifers looked at the effects of giving one group of heifers a shot of cloprostenol (a type of prostaglandin) prior to bull turnout. The second group was not given anything.

The group receiving cloprostenol had a significant increase in the number of heifers that were successfully bred. Prostaglandin brought those heifers into cyclicity sooner and allowed them to be bred at an earlier time in that breeding season.

Summary

Tools like reproductive tract scoring can be performed six to eight weeks before the start of the heifer’s first breeding season to determine: 1) the percentage of heifers actually cycling; 2) those close to having their first cycle; 3) those too immature to breed. This tool helps indicate the reproductive readiness of heifers.

After heifers reach the proper size and weight to enter the pubescent period and sexual maturity, a simple heat synchronization program can help them to come into heat.

A thorough and comprehensive developmental program for replacement heifers will ensure the success of your operation today and the stability of your herd for years to come. Work with your veterinarians and nutritionists to ensure you’re building the right nutrition, vaccination, parasite management and reproductive health protocols for proper development.

Looking Ahead Drought has improved in some areas, while other parts of the U.S. are still seeking moisture.

by Sydnee Shive

Cattle Areas in Drought (Nov. 28, 2023 U.S. Drought Monitor data)

United States Department of Agriculture This product was prepared by the USDA Office of the Chief Economist (OCE) World Agricultural Outlook Board (WAOB).

Approximately 37% of the cattle inventory was within an area experiencing drought.

n 2023, several of the nation’s essential cattle production areas across the West and Great Plains saw a significant decrease in drought intensity, or complete eradication of drought.

Brad Rippey, USDA meteorologist explains drought covered more than 40% of the United States for 126 consecutive weeks (Sept. 29, 2020 – Feb. 21, 2023). The streak ended in early 2023.

“A year ago, on Nov. 29, 2022, 70% of the U.S. cattle inventory was experiencing drought,” Rippey says. “Since spring 2023, that number has been below 50%, dipping as low as 34% in August.”

As of November 2023, 37% of the U.S. cattle inventory was experiencing drought, mostly spanning portions of the Great Plains and western Corn Belt, in addition to the Southeast.

Several drought-affected areas received significant precipitation in late November and early December with a correlated decrease in drought intensity. Renewed moisture is partly due to the El Niño weather pattern replacing La Niña after three years.

“El Niño has already been present, based on oceanic indicators, for many months. To this point, major impacts have been mostly outside the United States,” Rippey explains. “In recent weeks, however, we’ve started seeing signs of an enhanced subtropical jet stream across the southern U.S., one of the winter hallmarks of El Niño. This has led to several significant, drought-easing precipitation events from the southern Great Plains into the Southeast.”

El Niño expectations

“El Niño is the driver behind the National Weather Service’s coldseason outlooks for 2023-2024,” Rippey says. “There may be other factors at play, such as oceanic warmth, but ultimately, El Niño is expected to play an outsized role in determining winter 2023-2024 and spring 2024 weather patterns.”

No two El Niño events are the same. Forecasts for the 2023-2024 winter are based on prior El Niño events, meaning expectations are not always reality.

However, with an active Southern storm track that’s expected to last into spring 2024, Rippey and company predict periods of wet weather, especially in the Gulf Coast States and along the southern Atlantic Coast. He says significant storminess may affect the Southwest, and potentially California.

“Outside the southern U.S., winter/spring expectations from El Niño include warmer-than-normal

Hereford.org

weather across the North and drierthan-normal conditions in northern sections of the Rockies and High Plains, as well as a broad area of the Midwest centered on the Great Lakes States.”

Continued improvement

It’s no secret that the nation’s dwindling cow herd is due in part to severe drought.

“The drought was likely a significant factor in the reduction in the cattle inventory as lack of forage during the years of the drought resulted in a more rapid pace of placement of cattle in feedlots and relatively high numbers of beef cows sent to slaughter,” says Shayle Shagam, livestock, poultry and dairy analyst, USDA World Agricultural Outlook Board. “As a result, the cattle inventory on July 1, 2023, was 95.9 million head, 3% lower than 2022 and the lowest number since 2014. The beef cow inventory was 29.4 million head, down 3%

from 2022. In part reflecting the lower cow numbers, the 2023 calf crop was expected to be 2% lower than 2022.”

Even with the reduction of drought in some areas last year, there’s still a way to go before the U.S. cow herd numbers rebound.

“Looking forward into 2024, any diminution of the drought could be expected to result in improved forage and water supplies,” Shagam says. “These conditions would be favorable for producers to look toward herd expansion by both reducing the number of cows sent to slaughter and retaining heifers to breed. Although the reduction of cattle sent to slaughter in 2024 would reduce beef supplies in the short run, it would be expected to lead to increased numbers of cattle in the following years.”

Topp Herefords—Crossbreeding Solutions

» Topp Herefords makes crossbreeding easy—consistently improving net profits in commercial Angus herds.

On average, commercial Angus herds can expect a 5 percent increase in weaning weights from heterosis. If the average cow raises seven calves, that’s an additional $248 in gross revenue. Multiply that by a herd of 250 cows and you are adding $62,000 to the bottom line without additional inputs. Can you afford not to crossbreed? » Curious about how other cattlemen are making crossbreeding work at scale? Call Topp Herefords, 701.674.3152.

Grand Drive to 25

AHA CORNER

To celebrate 25 years of the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), it is only fitting to look ahead to the next 25 years to sustain the event’s legacy. To commemorate this milestone, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) is offering special Grand Drive to 25 donor packages to all of their valued partners who make up the history and future of the JNHE. Twenty-five years of the JNHE would not be possible without HYFA’s circle of donors, and the foundation tips its hat to each and every supporter since the first show in Tulsa, Okla., in 2000.

HYFA is excited to be partnering on not one, but two lots during the National Hereford Sale in Oklahoma City, Okla., Jan. 5. As part of the Foundation 1 Campaign, C&L Hereford Ranch and Oleson Family Farm are offering a percentage of the proceeds from lot 1, pick of their pen of heifer calves. Alongside them, and for the third consecutive year, T/R Cattle Co. will also be offering a percentage of lot 2, an exciting young female. HYFA’s percent of proceeds will continue to support its pillars, JNHE and the future of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA).

Leadership development

The NJHA and HYFA are proud to host the third annual BOLD Leadership Conference. This elite leadership opportunity expands on skills gained at the Faces of Leadership Conference and encourages the development of personal leadership skills.

The 2024 conference will be hosted by GKB Cattle in Desdemona, Texas, April 4-6.

• Our experience to select the Pick of Females that we purchased at the 2023 Hereford Night in Oklahoma ended differently than expected. We selected a spectacular female and while there, this bull caught our attention out of hundreds of bull calves. We didn’t want to leave without him as we believe he will work for both maternal production and terminal buyers in the industry. He is a well-balanced combination of genotype and phenotype traits. He’s equipped with thickness, width of top, depth and massive bone size. These qualities are ideal in a time when cattle are breaking records, selling by the pound in the current market. He won’t go unnoticed with his dark, cherry red color that is red to the ground along with pigment.

His pedigree is one that can be used widely across the breed today. Several of his EPDs are in the Top 15% of the breed. A few of the highlights with top EPDs are the following: MM & MG 1%: CW 4%; WW, REA,BMI, & BII 7%; SCF 10%. We decided to offer Spring possession as we have converted to mainly Fall calving and we want him to be in production year around.

The Rausch Family agreed with his distinctiveness enough to retain 1/4 semen interest.

• We are offering spring possession and ¼ semen interest.

From the Field

AHA CORNER

In Passing Scott Lyle McGee, 70, Fairbury, Neb., passed Nov. 10, 2023.

Scott was born April Scott McGee 25, 1953, in Hastings, Neb., to Curtis and Delores (Vahle) Morgan.

Scott was 5 years old when they moved to Ord, Neb., and later, at age 11, he and his two siblings were adopted by their new stepfather, James McGee, and moved to Oxford, Neb. Scott graduated from Oxford High School in 1971 and attended the University of Nebraska Lincoln for two years. He later moved back to Oxford where he met his future wife, Judy Jantz.

The two were married June 15, 1975, and resided in Alma, Neb. To that union, three children were born — Melissa, Blake and Darci.

Scott worked at McGee Food Market in Oxford, and Judy was a registered nurse in Alma. They lived in Alma until 1990 when the family and entire cow herd moved to Fairbury.

Scott loved raising registered Hereford cattle and was proud of Valley Creek Ranch’s accomplishments. His passion for livestock began as a small boy working with and learning from his grandfather, Harry Vahle.

The entire family grew to love the cattle and have been involved in the operation. Now a fifth generation of grandchildren is carrying on the family tradition.

Scott’s passion for animals carried over to his interest in raising registered Quarter Horses for 30 years and also Boer goats for 10 years.

Scott attended auctioneer school in 1990 and enjoyed auctioning and ring service from then on, along with working for Haddan Excavating for 10 years.

Later he completed his real estate

94

license, joining Kettelhut Real Estate in 2000.

Scott was baptized as a youth and attended the Christian Church in Alma and became a member of the Jansen Bible Church once moving to Fairbury, serving as a Sunday school teacher and singing in the men’s quartet. He served as the Jefferson County Fair beef superintendent for 25 years and on the Nebraska Hereford Association board, filling roles as president and area representative. He received the Nebraska Outstanding Hereford Breeder Award and was honored with the Golden Breeder Award for the ranch’s 50-year membership in the American Hereford Association.

Scott was known for his sense of humor. He never met a stranger and could strike up a conversation with anyone, and he will be remembered for his ability as a storyteller.

Scott is survived by wife, Judy, of 48 years; children: Melissa (Brandon) Buehler, and Blake of Fairbury, and Darci (Mick)

Pesek of Western, Neb.; four grandchildren: Blair, Landon, Lawson and Brock; mother, Delores McGee of Alma; brother, Tracy (LesLee) McGee and family, Oxford; and sister Candace (Larry) Gibson and family of Alma. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Harry and Velma Vahle, and stepdad, James McGee.

Hereford Happenings NJHA Member Tops National FFA Creed Speaking Contest

Joseph Schohr of Gridley FFA, California, won the National FFA Creed Speaking Leadership Development Event (LDE) during the second session of the 96th National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis.

Schohr is an active member of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA).

The top four individuals received cash awards to recognize their success in the event. The National FFA Creed Speaking LDE is designed to recognize outstanding FFA members for their ability to

present the National FFA Creed in a competitive setting.

Members deliver the FFA Creed from memory and respond to three questions.

The event gives FFA members the opportunity to develop their ability to communicate in a powerful, organized and professional manner.

Vaught named to LPC board

Caryn Vaught, American Hereford Association production manager, was chosen to serve on the Livestock Publications (LPC) board. LPC was founded nearly 50 years ago to serve and advance the livestock publishing industry. Hereford World was a member during early years of the organization, which evolved into membership of Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI). HPI is proud to have a representative serving as an LPC director and helping push the livestock communications industry forward through professional development, networking and student programs.

The LPC board recently met in Texas. Pictured in the first row (from l to r) Caryn Vaught, HPI; Cassie Godwin, Cultivate Agency; Codi Mills, Cattle Business Weekly; Katrina Huffstutler, Grant Company; Jennifer Shike, Farm Journal’s PORK; and Autumn Fuhrman, Arkansas Cattle Business. Pictured in the second row (from l to r) Ben Richey, United States Animal Health; Kelli Toledo, Trailhead Designs; Macey Hurst, Modern Litho; Lindsay Kennedy, Texas Tech University; Casey Hinnant, Carolina Cattle Connection; and Morgan Boecker, Certified Angus Beef.

“If you breed them, they will come.”

FLAT STONE LICK appreciates our repeat buyers…

Since 1954, we’ve been focused on breeding cattle that will work.

Our visitors become lifelong customers.

Why do people keep coming back?

Cattle with strong genotypes and phenotypes • We have a maternal focus • Our cattle improve their herds • Our cows are problem free, docile and bred for longevity • We are improving carcass traits with an emphasis on good eating

It’s not just about the cattle!

• We look forward to seeing friends old and new • We believe that we can learn from our buyers and they can learn from us • People leave with a smile

Welcome to

Give us a try... bring your boots for two reasons!
