Tracking Technology I’ve always thought of myself as being on the cutting edge — willing to learn new things and implement new technologies in my professional and personal life. But, honestly, technology has been changing so fast it’s hard to keep up. When I graduated from college, the Internet was just beginning to become popular. Now we have Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, YouTube and phone applications. Today’s graduates have learned about “convergence media.” This new media model has changed the way we
create, consume, learn and interact with one another. Consumers today do not just want to receive information: they want to interact with it, they want to create it, they want to participate within it. As we began to brainstorm a theme for this year’s herd bull and reference edition, we contemplated what information we could provide Hereford breeders to help them become more successful. Of course, technology is something that all farmers and ranchers are faced with each day, struggling with the decision of which new tools to
invest in, whether they are new equipment or new marketing options. Inside, you’ll find some tips to help producers understand the new marketing and management options available. From online marketing to DNA testing to sexed semen, we have attempted to summarize some of the new tools being used today. We hope you enjoy this issue as you find ideas to help you track and implement new technologies on your farm or ranch.

Craig Huffhines
Why Hereford’s Popularity Is on the Rise The economy, the cost of production, heterosis, animal welfare and human welfare are all “hot button” issues the beef industry is facing in 2010. So much so, these issues impact our way of life on the farm and ranch, the way we think and the way we do things that commercial producers are beginning to part with tradition and identify remedies for issues that affect them on a daily basis. The Hereford breed has been identified as part of the solution for the time being, and one of every four cowcalf producers is saying that he is looking to incorporate Hereford genetics into his breeding program over the next three to five years. That estimation is a near doubling of the number interested in purchasing Hereford bulls compared to five years ago.
Reducing labor, safety issues What are producers telling us they need that Hereford cattle are delivering? In a recent Drovers-Vance Publishing Internet survey, 880 producers responded from 45 states representing a median cow herd size of 51 to 100 cows. Their top four criteria for bull selection were: 1) disposition, 2) calving ease, 3) fertility testing and 4) breeder reputation. Similar surveys conducted in both 2001 and 2005 revealed that the emphasis on disposition — an animal’s combined attitude, stress level and ease of handling around people — has risen dramatically in nine years,
8 Hereford World / July 2010
surpassing calving ease, weaning weight, yearling weight, fertility testing, and breeder reputation as a top trait in bull selection. Yes, cattle must perform. Depending on the trait of interest, 60% to 90% of producers rated economically relevant traits as high priorities in selection including calving ease and birth weight, weaning and yearling growth, and carcass data, and all of those elements certainly support the importance of breeder reputation. (Provided that those elements are taken care of, producers are looking to reduce risk and labor problems in their operations. The average age of producers is not getting younger while human health and safety and the reduction in labor requirements are weighing heavy on the minds of most. Anecdotally, the Hereford breed has a leading reputation as a breed with a mild and manageable disposition, which also has been said to be highly correlated with feed efficiency and beef quality. However, because of a heightened level of interest, this trait must be documented further within the breed. Documentation will be particularly important as animal welfare issues continue to grow in concern among the consuming public. The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors has made this a major priority issue in the coming years, and you can expect a great deal of discussion regarding
the documentation of disposition within the breed improvement committee. Because of the importance that this trait now has, Hereford breeders should consider a zero tolerance policy for those animals that are troublesome. We’ve all seen the problem, we know what it is like, and there’s only one way to deal with it.
Heterosis addresses economic question In a February 2010 Drovers article “Making the Most of Your Crossbreeding System,” Kansas State University Animal Scientist Dan Moser reviewed the genomics literature that has unveiled differences in genetics among categories of breeds of cattle. It has been widely known that Bos indicus influenced (Brahman-influenced) cattle were the most different from Bos taurus (British and Continental breeds) and, thus, when crossed with Bos taurus, generated the most heterosis (heterozygosity) as a result of the crossing of two breeds with vastly different genetic makeup. The end result dramatically influences the performance of traits that are the least heritable such as fertility, survivability and health but also increases those economically relevant traits that are highly heritable such as growth. For some time it was thought that British breeds (Hereford, Angus, Red Angus and Shorthorn) were very similar genetically and that the Continental breeds were likewise genetically similar but different from www.hereford.org
British breeds. However, modern genetic marker technology has mapped the genome of the respective breeds and determined that Hereford cattle are the most different among the Bos taurus breeds of cattle. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) meat animal research has reported for some time that Hereford cattle generate the most heterosis when used among Bos taurus breeds. Now there is empirical evidence through genetic mapping that validates the science further. Science has supported the economics of heterosis for some time, but because of the increasing strain on the economy and the continued threat of rising fuel, fertilizer, and feed costs, the lifetime production and the cost of production of a cow are becoming overwhelmingly important. Old traditional selection themes such as straight breeding Angus, selection on color first before performance and single-trait selection for carcass quality are now being critically re-evaluated. The Hereford breed now has the most to gain as selection pressure turns toward real factors driving profitability instead of the “$10-per-head” premiums that black-hided cattle tended to receive in the past. Ten dollars per head is no longer good enough to keep producers in business. The lifetime heterosis impact of the baldie cow has been documented as producing eight to 10 times the economic incentive that’s been received from straight breeding black-hided cattle. Real economics is what’s driving Hereford’s resurgence.
AHA Board asks members critical questions Nearly 2,500 AHA members received an online survey in April this year to help the Board formulate strategies for the coming years. The survey return rate was a terrific 22.3%, and the AHA Board and staff would like to thank all of you who participated in the membership survey. Information technology, genomic technology, new media venues, social networking and innovative marketing are all topics under constant evaluation by the organization. AHA will be working hard to develop systems that will make your life easier. Fifty-five percent of survey respondents have been long-term www.hereford.org
breeders in the business for 20 years or longer. Over 23% have been in business less than 10 years, and 11.5% of respondents have been in the Hereford business for less than five years. Fiftytwo percent of respondents were under the age of 55 while the average age was between 50 and 55 years of age One of the more interesting and also encouraging demographic results was that 65% of respondents claimed to have multiple generations of family members involved in the business. One third of respondents owned less than 30 cows, one third owned between 30 and 75 cows, and one third owned more than 100 cows.
Bull sales reported strong Not surprisingly, AHA members answering the survey reported a steady increase in the demand for Hereford bulls. In fact, 46% of respondents reported an improvement in their bull market over the last five years, which supports the results of the DroversVance Publishing cow-calf producer survey. Similarly, AHA members reported that female sales had improved during the last five years in 40% of the Hereford operations.

facing the breed and organization in the coming years?” The following issues were ranked in terms of highest concern followed by the percentage of breeders considering them to be a very serious issue:
• Meeting market share demands – 87%; • On-farm operational costs – 72%; • CHB program growth – 68.5%; • AHA costs of programs – 67%; • Record keeping – 62%; • DNA technology – 61%; • Growing membership – 58%; • Shrinking commercial cow numbers – 50%.
Why a Hereford breeder? Interesting to note: the top five things that Hereford breeders most like about being Hereford breeders are: 1) the challenge of animal breeding, 2) the people, 3) breed improvement, 4) producing marketable cattle and 5) marketing the cattle. Deadlines, record keeping, and advertising were three of the least enjoyable things for Hereford breeders. While deadlines are a natural part of the registered seedstock business and for that matter, production agriculture, the AHA Board and staff will be focusing on ways to make record keeping and advertising more userfriendly to breeders.
Top five ranked strategies Breeders were asked to rank strategies and programs that they felt gave them and the Hereford breed the most benefit. The following were the top five strategies: 1) Promoting breed strengths 2) Feed efficiency research 3) Heterosis promotion 4) Genetic research 5) Branded beef promotion The AHA Board reviewed the
Drovers and member-survey data
during a strategic planning session in April. During the coming weeks, the Board will finalize a new strategic plan including core strategies and an action plan. The final plan is scheduled to be printed in the September Hereford World .

AHA building update During its April meeting, the AHA Board approved the drafting and submission of an option to the purchase agreement on the AHA property with the government of Kansas City. The purpose of the purchase option on the property is to secure for the city a prime location for the future development of a downtown 1,000-room convention hotel and to establish a sale price and terms that will be mutually beneficial to the AHA and the city. In May the city debated the merits of the Hereford site along with a second site one block north of the Hereford site, known as the Power & Light Building site. Thus far, the city’s preference has been the other downtown Power &
Light Building site; however, there is still a great deal of debate among developers and other interested parties as to which site might suit the area and the project scope better. Thus far, there is nothing imminent regarding the sale of the AHA site, and at the present time the city has not executed the proposed option, but discussions are ongoing. The 1,000-room convention hotel is projected to be a $300 million project requiring a great deal of financing, possibly public financing. In today’s economic climate, the likelihood of securing such financing may be remote. The AHA Board remains engaged in the process and is evaluating the situation as it develops. HW

CHB LLC Diversifies Product Line At the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting last October in Kansas City, AHA board members along with Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC staff outlined several value-added strategies to help diversify CHB® product lines. These value-added products included CHB hotdogs, hamburgers and seasoned-marinated products. The purpose of these products is to help generate additional revenue to offset the cost of manpower and marketing. This year has been dedicated to three key goals:
1) Maintain existing business with longtime customers.
2) Develop and go to market with several CHB valueadded product lines.
3) Generate new marketing agreements with distributors, retailers and food brokers.
Although industry beef demand has seen a steady drop in the last two years, CHB LLC has done a good job of maintaining longtime customers even though their beef volume has been down compared to a year ago. Consumers have traded down their protein expenditures at the meat case, buying fewer steaks and roasts and migrating to cheaper ground beef and alternative proteins (pork and poultry).
AHA Board members had a chance to see the packaging for several new CHB products during the April Board meeting.
“In recent months, our retail customers are featuring less beef than a year ago,” says Mike Louderback, National Beef Packing Co. LLC CHB business leader. “Last year our retail partners featured at least three beef items per week; where this year it’s maybe one or two items on the front page of their weekly advertisement.” Today’s relatively high price of beef has had a major effect on what retailers choose to use as traffic drivers in their stores. The meat case is the major draw for consumers, and as long as there is wide disparity in beef’s price relative to pork and poultry, consumers will trade down or purchase cheaper products particularly when the country is facing economic uncertainty. Good news from the CHB LLC team, however, has been significant

growth in both foodservice distribution channels along with a launch of the Nuestro Rancho seasoned-marinated line of products. SuperValu and Associated Wholesale Grocers, two of the largest retail supermarket distributors in the country, have agreed to allow CHB LLC staff to bring the seasoned-marinated lines into several warehouses. This development could lead to distribution of the product into hundreds of stores. Tom LeBeau, CHB LLC chief operating officer, and Larry Bailey, CHB senior vice president of retail sales, have been instrumental in launching this line that could create new revenue streams for the organization. In addition, a new distributor has been launched in 2010 — Kohl’s Wholesale, delivering in western Iowa, south central Illinois and eastern Missouri. Kohl’s has gotten off to a quick start in the last two months and is projected to merchandise more than 2 million lb. annually once CHB is in full distribution mode within the company. Foodservice remains a bright spot for CHB in 2010. Last year’s additions of several Sysco distribution houses along with continued cultivation of Merchants Foodservice across several states in the Southeast region of the U.S. have produced growth at a time when the restaurant industry is witnessing an unprecedented recession. While overall volume of beef sold in 2009-2010 is scheduled to be close to last year’s levels, that in and of itself could be perceived as victory considering the state of the food sector during this remarkable recession. Growing revenue through the value-added strategy could be the “home-run” revenue driver staff has been working toward. HW www.hereford.org

Research Fund-raiser Planned During the past year, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) developed a research division (Hereford Research Foundation [HRF]) that will raise funds in order to support breed improvement projects outside the scope of the AHA budget. The HRF has already supported the heterosis research projects and has also helped set the ground work for a new GrowSafe system that is being built at Olsen Ranch, Harrisburg, Neb. This feedlot will allow the AHA to collect feed intake data on larger groups of progeny of some of the most influential young sires of the breed.
To support these projects and others, HRF will host an online auction through BuyHereford.com. The auction will end July 13 at 8 p.m. CDT. This auction is made possible by both consignors and the Wendt Group, the organization that manages BuyHereford.com. The HRF board would like to thank everyone who is making this auction possible. A list of consignors include Holden Herefords, Valier, Mont.; Cooper Herefords, Willow Creek, Mont.; Knoll Crest Farms, Red House, Va.; Beef Resources Partnership, Tabor, Iowa; Topp Herefords, Grace City, N.D.; Lowderman Cattle Co., Macomb, Ill.;

Genetic Predictable Performance in Pleasing Phenotype The goals of NS for over 50 years of breeding Herefords
The tools to improve PREDICTABILITY — AI, ET, EPDs, calving ease, AI sires with adequate documentation, performance testing, carcass ultrasound, genetic testing and most recently, efficiency or residual feed intake (RFI) have been incorporated as they became available. PHENOTYPICALLY, NS has exhibited National Champion Bulls (Keno, Trident and Elixir), several female champions nationally and Denver division champion pens of bulls. Yet we remain one of the relatively few Gold TPR herds in the breed.
Watch for our public offerings in fall 2010 and spring 2011. Private treaty is always an option.
Our highly proven herd sires joined by a selected few outside sires in our ET and AI programs. Feltons Ozzie 492

The Prettiest Girl and Cattle W
ho is the prettiest girl in the school? I have heard boys in gym locker rooms argue that point many times and they usually could not agree which one it was! Contrary to what some advocate today, the same is true with cattle. When I was on high school and college livestock judging teams and we were judging old cows, it was amazing how the placings would change when the calves were later brought in and paired with their mothers. Big, fat, good-looking cows rarely had the best calves. When our kids were showing 4-H steers in the 1970s, we had an excellent, high gaining calf that we thought was near ideal, but he stood near the bottom of his class while another one that had been sick and did poorly won his class. Another breeder and I were pondering about this when he gave me some great advice. “Don’t let a judge determine your breeding program. It’s just one man’s opinion on one day.” Maybe that is why longtime Hereford breeder Mike Friend advised us in our younger days to stay out of the showring. Even great cattlemen can have differences of opinion. My dad and I were visiting with Jim McClellan (former manager of Turner Ranch) at the 1972 “Mighty Mainstream Dispersion” near the bull pens when Jim looked over at Winrock D4, who would later sell for over $100,000, and
For performance-tested Hazlett-Turner Ranch Bloodlines said if TR Zato Heir 394 were here no one would even look at D4. In spite of EPDs and more technology, the best Hereford like the prettiest girl is still a matter of opinion! In October 2008 we attended the Hereford portion of the North Dakota Stockman’s All-Breeds Tour and visited with a large commercial cattleman from western North Dakota who complained that most Herefords in that area were too big in frame size for commercial breeders because of the cost of cow maintenance in their offspring. This year I read a published letter from a Hereford breeder in that area of the country promoting 1,500 lb. cows as the ideal size. Like the North Dakota commercial cattleman, most commercial men in our area also prefer a smaller 900-1,100 lb. cow for this same reason. Obviously, one size may not fit all. Like picking the prettiest girl, breed what you like and hope others like it as well. Your opinion and reasons may be more practical than the so-called expert. We too have our opinion and have bred what we think are practical, good disposition, thick, Hazlett Herefords for 50 years. They work for us and our commercial bull buyers. We invite you to stop by and see if your opinion agrees with ours.

2. Dedication
Four generations of commitment to produce and develop Hereford genetics that work for the beef industry.
1. Commitment
Board Action The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met in Kansas City, Mo., April 13. During the meeting the Board approved a revised reccomended terms and conditions for public and private sales. The following is the revised terms and conditions, which is also available at Hereford.org.
Private Sales – Public Auctions The Board of Directors of the American Hereford Association (AHA) makes the following recommendations: Bidding 1. All cattle or genetic material (embryos, semen or any DNA material) offered for sale will be sold to the highest bidder. The person in charge of the sale (seller, auctioneer, or sale manager whether live public auction or internet auction) will settle any disputes with regards to bids, and his/her decision will be final. Announcements 1. Corrections or additions of any information in the sale catalog will be announced from the auction stand or on the Internet site (in the case of Internet auctions) prior to the selling of the animal or genetic material, and such announcements will take precedence over any printed material. 2. Animals that are carriers of known genetic abnormalities will be either so indicated in the sale catalog, announced from the auction block, or both. 3. It is the responsibility of the seller in a public auction to provide the sale manager, in writing, prior to the sale, a listing of corrections of information printed in the sale catalog. Payment Terms 1. All sales are for immediate cash settlement unless other credit arrangements have been established between buyer and seller prior to the sale. Buyer’s Risk 1. The animal or genetic material becomes the property and risk of the buyer as soon as sold but it shall be the responsibility of the seller to see that animals are properly cared for, free of charge to purchaser,
36 Hereford World / July 2010
until delivered to buyer or until the expiration of 24 hours after the sale, which ever comes first. Identification 1. It is the obligation of the seller to make sure that each animal sold has a readable tattoo corresponding to its registration paper. 2. Buyers have a responsibility to recheck the tattoos after taking possession and reporting any discrepancies to the seller immediately. 3. In the case that an animal is marketed under a nickname, the nickname must also be accompanied by the official registered name and registration number. Certificate of Registration 1. Seller shall transfer a breeding animal to buyer within 10 days of settlement. 2. The official AHA registration certificate is not a legal title or proof of ownership. The registration paper simply states who has AHA membership rights to control the registration of progeny associated with an individual registered animal along with the transfer of said rights to a new owner. 3. The seller guarantees that the animal is registered according to the rules of the AHA and that the pedigrees of all animals or genetic material are registered in the Herd Book of the AHA. 4. If a female is sold bred and carrying the service of bulls requiring AI certificates, said AI certificates shall be provided by the seller unless otherwise stated. 5. Certificates required for registration of purchased embryos shall be the responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise agreed upon.
Rights to Genetic Material 1. Rights to genetic material for purposes of cloning an animal shall be transferred to the buyer with a legal bill of sale unless otherwise specified by the seller in the terms and conditions and/or the bill of sale. AHA Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) 1. Expected progeny differences provided to Hereford breeders enrolled in the AHA TPR program are statistical predictions or estimates of expected performance of future progeny, not guarantees of performance. Health 1. All animals will be eligible for interstate shipment as required by federal regulation. 2. Buyers should be aware of their own state’s specific health requirements. Breeding Guarantees 1. All animals are guaranteed to be breeders with the exception of (a) calves under 12 months of age at time of purchase; (b) any female that is placed in an embryo transplant program and subjected to super-ovulation; or (c) gross negligence on the part of the buyer. 2. Sellers guarantee that bulls are breeders if the bull is at least 12 months of age at the time of the sale and is not turned out into cows before 14 months of age. A bull can also be guaranteed a breeder if it has passed a breeding soundness exam performed by a competent veterinarian or reproductive technician. Any agreement with respect to the ability to freeze semen shall be a separate agreement between buyer and seller. 3. When selling semen interest only, the bull is guaranteed to produce viable semen which will survive the freezing process and upon post-thaw will settle a healthy cow. www.hereford.org
4. Females sold as safe in calf have been examined by a competent veterinarian or have been guaranteed safe in calf through a blood test. 5. Open females are guaranteed to be without calf. 6. Any agreement with respect to embryo transfer production shall be a separate agreement between buyer and seller. Genetic Abnormality Policy 1. Seller will be responsible for informing buyers of all known information relative to genetic abnormalities. 2. Buyer will assume all risk associated with the purchase of known and unknown genetic abnormality carrier animals provided the seller has disclosed all known information relative to said genetic abnormalities. 3. Seller is not responsible for any new genetic abnormalities that are recognized by the American Hereford Association after the sale of an animal or genetic material. Exercising Options for Adjustment 1. The purchaser must notify the seller of his dissatisfaction with an animal in writing within six months of the sale date. 2. In the event an animal is claimed to be a non-breeder, the purchaser may return the animal to the seller's farm if in good condition and is accompanied with a health certificate indicating that the animal is free from infectious and contagious disease. This is done at purchaser's expense. The seller is then entitled to six months trial following return of the animal, at which time he will have the opportunity to determine the animal's breeding ability. If at the end of six months the seller is unable to prove the animal a sound breeder, the seller shall have the option to replace the animal with another of similar quality or to refund the purchase price. If www.hereford.org
the seller determines the proven breeding ability of the animal it shall be the obligation of the purchaser to accept delivery of the animal. All transportation is to be at the purchaser's expense.
6. If an adjustment must be made on any part of a cow-calf pair, the adjustment can be partitioned by weighting the value of the cow by 75% of the purchase price and 25% of the value placed on the calf.
3. If a female is sold under the conditions “safe in calf” and she proves to not be pregnant, the purchaser may receive service of the bull to which she was previously served, if available, or service to another bull of the purchaser's choice owned by the seller, or an adjustment of 25 percent of the purchase price which should be considered satisfactory settlement and will relieve the seller from further liability, except in case such female proves to be a non-breeder. The expense of transportation shall be an obligation assumed by the purchaser.
THE AFOREMENTIONED TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL CONSTITUTE A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE PURCHASER AND SELLER OF EACH ANIMAL SOLD UNDER THESE TERMS, AND SHALL BE BINDING UPON BOTH. ANIMALS RESOLD FOLLOWING PURCHASE IN A SALE SHALL CONSTITUTE A SEPARATE TRANSACTION AND THE PRIVILEGES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE ORIGINAL TWO PARTIES CONNECTED THERETO ARE NOT COVERED BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS SALE.
4. If a female is sold as “serviced” or “pasture bred” and proves not to be safe in calf, the purchaser may return the female to the farm of the seller at the purchaser's expense to be served to the bull previously used, if available, or to another bull made available by the seller and agreed upon by the purchaser. 5. If a female sold as “open” proves to be with calf, the purchaser may return the animal to the farm of the seller for a refund of full purchase price or for another animal of similar quality. In all cases it shall be the obligation of the purchaser to bear any expense resulting from transportation.
IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED NEITHER THE AMERICAN HEREFORD ASSOCIATION, NOR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES ARE IN ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ENFORCING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE AGREEMENT IN TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN PURCHASERS AND SELLERS. For additional information refer to the American Hereford Association's Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and Rules and Regulations of said Association. HW

Reflections Stop. Look. Listen. These are three words you probably learned as early as elementary school as the three steps of safety when crossing a road. The last three years on the National Junior Hereford Assocation (NJHA) board have made both of us stop, look and listen. With the encouragement and support of state associations and our families, we chose to “stop” and fill out the application to be an NJHA board candidate. Not only did we “look” for the opportunity to serve as NJHA board members, but we had a desire to give back to the association that has so greatly touched both of our lives. This next step is what most people seem to pass over without taking it seriously. Each of us “listened” to mentors in our lives. These special people ultimately directed us in our decision-making processes while sharing their wisdom. We took the time to “listen” to the concerns of parents and juniors because this is what being a board member is truly about — lending a helping hand and making juniors’ involvement in NJHA a positive experience.

always been our goal to leave our legacy by being the leaders we would want to follow. What a neat experience it has been to become friends with so many of the Hereford breeders and juniors. Thank you to everyone for allowing us to have the opportunity to serve on the board. We would like to say thank you to our amazing families and friends for all that you have done and continue to do to help us along the way. Many doors open and close throughout each chapter of your life, and it is important that you “stop,” “look” and “listen” to what you feel is best suited for your talents. We have loved serving you the last three years, but it is our time to pass the torch to another set of highly qualified group of leaders. Take this time to become more active in the contests at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) this summer. This is a perfect way to begin polishing your skills and abilities to become a more equipped leader in the future. Can’t wait to see you in Indy! — Katlin Mulvaney and Kimber Evans
When we ran for the board in 2007, we never could have imagined what all was in store for us following the handing down of the blazers at the banquet. For Hannah it was Mark Sullivan and for Kandi it was Catie Sims. But regardless of which retiring board member handed us our maroon blazers that year, it is the experiences we have had while serving our association in those blazers that has forever changed our lives. Although three years may seem like a long time, our three years as junior directors have flown by, filled with late nights in the barns tying calves out long after everyone else has left the barns after the banquet, learning to navigate Kansas City without a map and without a single person with a sense of direction, watching a midnight showing of “Hairspray” in Memphis while waiting for other board members’ flights to arrive, finding pharmacies in Reno in the middle of the night
in a cab, logging countless airline miles, sending numerous texts to the rest of our board stating that Kandi and Hannah are rockstars, seeing awesome cattle and making some of the best friends in the entire world by just working together to better our association. We have watched as our breed continues to grow within the beef industry, and we couldn’t be more excited about the future! Our experiences on the board have taught us that it doesn’t matter if you have 2,500 cows at home or three show heifers, your unique involvement in the industry is what allows the NJHA to develop creative and innovative programs and ideas tailored to all juniors, because every Hereford junior comes from a different Hereford background. Although more than 1,500 miles separate us, with Hannah being an East Coast Virginia girl and Kandi a true Texan, one never could imagine what close friends we would become. Yet in the end, if we would never have had the courage to get out of the stalls and become involved, our friendship might have never happened. Therefore, we owe it all to this amazing association. It has been three wonderful and eventful years on the board, and as we come into the final stretch of our careers as junior members and junior directors, we would like to take a moment to encourage all of you juniors out there to take the time to reflect on your involvement in the Hereford, beef, and agriculture industries. You should be really proud of your Hereford involvement. Step out and meet other juniors, at junior nationals and Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention and even on Facebook, and share your story as well as listen to the stories of other juniors. It has been an honor to serve each of you as directors on the NJHA board and we look forward to seeing each of you in Indianapolis for the JNHE and in Idaho for PRIDE this summer. Safe travels and God Bless! — Hannah Wine and Kandi Knippa www.hereford.org

NHW Members Preparing for JNHE National Hereford Women (NHW) will host a breakfast and membership meeting during the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) at 7:30 a.m., Tuesday, July 6, in Indianapolis. The meeting will begin at 8:30. Those who are not free from “barn duties” before 8:30 are welcome to skip breakfast and drop in for the meeting. The meeting will be in the Farm Bureau building across from the fairgrounds. Everyone is welcome — members and non-members. Casual dress — come as you are. It’s all about Herefords, women in the business and the juniors NHW support. For breakfast reservations, contact Mary Ann Berg at 330-857-7967 or maryannberg2003@yahoo.com.
Ways and means This year the NHW has been busy working on ways and means projects. From an awesome “semen basket” to jewelry and canvas totes, we are thrilled about our offerings. We have an exciting yearly project planned. Check out artist and former Hereford junior member Amanda Raithel’s work. She has graciously provided us with a few of her prints to offer now as well as playing a huge role in our projects yet to come.
Scholarship heifer success Samuel Lawrence, Avilla, Ind., won a $1,000 heifer scholarship at the 2005 JNHE in Wisconsin. The scholarship was sponsored by the National Organization of Poll-ettes. Samuel was an excited peewee member when selected. He was also a member of
his state’s fitting team, which placed second in the contest just before his name was drawn for the $1,000 prize. What a memorable experience for a 7-year-old. The female he purchased was named a Dam of Distinction in 2010. She met the highest standards of commercial cattle production. He has also entered her 2009 heifer in the Indianapolis JNHE. This success story demonstrates the impact of the scholarship programs that are awarded to promote the involvement of youth members in the Hereford breed. What began with a little luck, Samuel seasoned with a lot of hard work, which became a recipe for a once in a lifetime experience. The NHW will award a $1,000 heifer scholarship at the 2010 JNHE, and who knows what will come when that new story is written.
Getting to know the NHW board Serving on the American Junior Hereford Association board from 1986-1989 and watching her mother, Maxine Koontz, serve as a member of the American Hereford Women board years ago, instilled a sense of pride in and dedication to the Hereford breed into Donna Fulton. Four years ago, Donna was elected to the American Hereford Women (AHW) board. She says she has enjoyed the opportunity to travel and meet many of the outstanding Hereford breeders across the country. “One of the most rewarding experiences has been supporting the youth that continue to promote
one of the foundation breeds of this country,” she says. Donna and her husband, Rodney, and her mother continue to co-own and manage H&C Hereford Farm near Lexington, N.C. H&C was recognized as a Golden Breeder by the American Hereford Association for raising Herefords for more than 50 years. Today, along with Herefords, they also have a small registered herd of Red Angus cattle as well as a commercial herd. The deep-rooted family heritage is being continued as the Fultons’ two daughters, Tristen and Abigail, are active in the North Carolina Junior Hereford Association and the National Junior Hereford Association, participating in local, state, regional and national junior Hereford shows. Donna attended North Carolina State University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in agricultural education with specialties in animal and poultry science and agricultural communications. She then obtained her Master of Education degree in 1992 and started teaching agricultural education at North Stanly High School in New London, N.C., where she taught for one year before moving back home, where she has been teaching at her home high school (North Davidson High School) since 1994. Donna and Rodney are also contract growers for Allen’s Poultry Co., based out of Delaware. The family operation consists of owning and operating four poultry laying houses. HW

Web sites, blogs and social networks can and should be used together, says J. Scott Vernon, California Polytechnic State University department of agricultural education and communication faculty member. “These components are integrated; one drives the other,” Vernon says. Vernon was a key player in creating “I Love Farmers… They Feed my Soul,” a project used to facilitate conversation on agricultural issues. The program took off following the November 2008 vote in favor of Proposition 2 in California, which created laws changing the way confinement livestock is raised. “Organizations like the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) were better at communicating the issue,” Vernon says. “We lost to HSUS, and they want to bring down animal agriculture.” “I Love Farmers” uses its Web site, www.ilovefarmers.org, blogs and social media networks to target 14- to 24-year-olds and invite them into the conversation. Vernon describes the site as provocative with an “in-your-face” approach to discussing issues. “We wanted to approach issues in a different and creative way,” Vernon says. “Lots of young people are passionate about agriculture, and we want to leverage that passion today.” Vernon says the agricultural industry has made great strides in utilizing the Internet, but the industry still has room to grow. “In the livestock industry, ranching is being redefined,” he says. With the push for a change in the way cattle are raised and fed out, Vernon says, producers must get into the dialogue. “If people are talking about you, know what they are saying,” he says. The Internet and its components are not going away, Vernon stresses,

and it is important to learn how to use tools available. “The young people grew up in a digital world,” he says. “The people in their 50s are digital immigrants; they must learn.” The Internet allows for low-cost production with high impact. “It is a powerful communication tool,” Vernon says. “But it requires work, time and energy.

Working the Web Creating a quality Web site can increase connections with current and potential customers. by Christy Couch Lee and Julie White
W
ith advancements in technology, the world has become smaller. And, cattlemen with a high-quality Web site can reach customers once thought to be out of reach. John Denton, co-owner of Denton Designs, Blue Rapids, Kan., creates Web sites for a wide range of clients, including many in the cattle business. He says creating a quality Web site can make the first impression you desire. “The nice thing about Web sites: that’s your face,” Denton says. “Someone going to your Web site may not have met you or know you, but you can sway their perception of you based on your Web site. It’s important to put a lot of thought into that.” Chad Crane of Crane Herefords, LaSalle, Ill., has discovered that putting the ranch’s image on the Web has led to an expanded customer base. “We weren’t getting our cattle spread out, but our Web site has helped us get new business.” Since Crane Herefords launched www.craneherefords.com in October 2009, the site has led to numerous cattle sales. “A family from eastern Kentucky found us through our Web site and bought a heifer,” he says. “A local family used a search engine on the
“The nice thing about Web sites: that’s your face.” — John Denton Internet and just punched in our area code. When our Web site came up, they were able to connect with us.” Making these connections can be great for business. But, before you establish a Web site for your farm or ranch, Denton suggests a few key items to consider.
Tips to get started: ①— Know your goals Denton says a marketing goal is the most important factor to consider when building a Web site. “First, you must figure out what you want to market about yourself,” Denton says. “You can then base everything else around that.”
For example, he says, if your operation is weak in certain areas, it may be best to not place focus on those aspects of your farm or ranch. Instead, he says, play up the areas in which your operation excels.
②— Have quality content Although Denton says each farm or ranch site varies, some key components are needed on most sites. “If the Web site’s content isn’t what people hope to get, they’re going to leave.” He says most cattle sites contain sections labeled “About Us,” “Herd Sires” or “Herd Bulls,” “Females” or “Donors,” “Cattle for Sale,” and a contact page.

your Web site if it doesn’t change. Updating your site entices people to come back, and it may draw in new visitors, as well.”
⑦— Locate the experts When selecting the firm to create your site, Denton suggests doing your research. And, locating a company with experience in the cattle industry is important. “Based on past experiences and speaking with some of our clients, using a local advertising agency can be trouble,” Denton says. “If they’re not knowledgeable with EPDs, pedigree tables and the norms for how those items are laid out, it doesn’t always work out that well.” He recommends selecting a company with which you feel comfortable and one that has exhibited success in the past. In addition, he says, reviewing the company’s portfolio can provide a good sense of the quality of its work.
⑧— Get it linked Denton says it is important to get your site linked from other Web sites and to advertise your Web address. “Do all that you can to drive people to your Web site,” he says. “For example, Hereford breeders can have their Web site linked off the AHA “Links” page for no cost. Don’t forget to include your Web address on all your print advertising, business cards, farm signs, brochures and any promotional items you develop.” By placing focus on the critical elements of an effective Web site, you can bring a world of customers to your operation with a simple click of the mouse.

Banner Ads
The Most Bang for Your Banner Following a few simple tips can help your banner advertisement stand out from the rest. by Christy Couch Lee

isit any Web site, and you are sure to see them. Banner advertisements have become the latest way farms and ranches are attracting new customers to their Web sites and generating new business. So, what is involved in creating an effective banner ad? And, how is a person to begin? Really, it’s simple. By keeping a few key guidelines in mind, you can make your banner ad shine.
Seeing the benefits Dale Venhuizen, Manhattan, Mont., has been experiencing the benefits of banner ads for several years. Involved in the Hereford business his entire life, he and his wife, Nancy, began Churchill Cattle Co. after they were married more than 20 years ago. Today they, along with their four daughters — Kate, Anne, Megan and Camille — manage a Hereford cow herd producing 200 calves yearly.
“The ultimate goal is to drive customers to our Web site, and to drive sales.” — Dale Venhuizen
Active in the Hereford industry, Venhuizen served on the American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors from 2000-2004. During his term on the board, Venhuizen suggested banner ads as a useful tool for AHA members. Once they became available on the AHA site, Venhuizen jumped on board. For him, the choice was simple. “I, for one, am a heavy user of the AHA Web site,” Venhuizen says. “Being a performance-based herd, it’s where I go, not only to do work but to check on pedigrees of my cattle and prospective cattle purchases. I think it would work well for Hereford breeders to advertise with banner ads on the AHA site because the visibility is so good.” Tonya Orr-Perez also touts the benefits of banner advertisements. Raised on the Hereford operation begun by her great grandfather in the early 1920s, Orr-Perez attended Colorado State University and earned a bachelor’s degree in agricultural business. After graduation she began working for AgTown Technologies, a Web development and marketing company focused on helping
farmers and ranchers effectively market themselves. When she married Kyle Perez of C&M Herefords, nearly two years ago, they made their home on the ranch at Nara Visa, N.M., and she ventured back into the Hereford business full force. C&M Herefords sells Hereford seedstock and manages about 500 cows, with a purebred Hereford and Angus base.
Why banner ads? Venhuizen says the primary goal of his banner advertisements is to create awareness for his operation — not to tell everything about his operation in one small box. “Our goal is top-of-mind awareness,” he says. “The ultimate goal is to drive customers to our Web site, and to drive sales.” Orr-Perez has been assisting cattlemen with creating banner advertisements for years. She also takes primary responsibility for C&M’s banner advertisements. “Usually when we run a banner ad, it’s for a private-treaty sale or to promote an individual animal,” OrrPerez says. “We utilize the Hereford

Banner ad basics ①— Be a tease Offer just enough information to cause potential customers to click your ad and visit your Web site. “Don’t try to say too much — you’re just trying to make a good first impression,” Venhuizen says. “You’re not trying to make a sale. You’re trying to get a potential customer’s attention.” Once you’ve gotten his attention, your potential customer can then click on your ad to visit your Web site for the full story, Orr-Perez says. “Simply tell them what you’re offering and when it’s being offered, and then get them off to your Web site,” she says. “That’s where you can tell the whole story. You can’t do it in a little square box.”
②— Keep it short and sweet As tempting as it may be, Orr-Perez says, avoid trying to put too much information into your banner ad.

or have AHA Creative Services design a sale catalog for their sale or event,” Faber says. “These packages give them an option to combine their print advertising with their online advertising, which is a great value.” These banner ads can be linked directly to the advertiser’s Web site or to an online sale catalog. When the AHA staff creates a banner advertisement for a breeder, the advertisement is created as a square and rectangle for use on the AHA Web site and in electronic newsletters. Advertisements located on the AHA Web site rotate throughout the site and are visible on all popular pages, Faber says. Each banner advertisement can be created with a maximum of two frames. Up to two additional frames can be added for $50 each. All information for banner advertisements — including information and photos — should be submitted to the AHA staff at least one week prior to the anticipated start date, Faber says. Pricing options include: • 1-month with 4 eNews or Sales Digest ads – $500 • 2-month with 4 eNews or Sales Digest ads – $900 • 1 year with 20 eNews or Sales Digest ads – $1,500 • HPI Contract — 4 one-page Hereford World ads (4-color) and a one-year banner ad on the AHA Web site – $5,500 • Creative Service Contract — catalog, one-month banner ad on AHA Web site and 4 eNews or Sales Digest ads – Catalog bid price + $400 For more information, visit Hereford.org/mediakit or contact Faber at sfaber@hereford.org or 816-842-3757. HW

...Banner Ads continued from page 51
“The goal of the banner ad is to entice people to ‘click through’ for more information,” Faber says. “Once people click through to a Web site or catalog, they can then view the full details and all of the offerings.” In addition to losing potential customers’ interest, too much information in a banner ad affects readability, Faber says. Fonts are required to be smaller — thus making them difficult to read and less likely to catch potential customers’ attention.
③— One message at a time Orr-Perez says it’s important to address only one message in one banner advertisement. For example, C&M purchased banner advertising space on the AHA Web site in January and wished to use the space to promote its National Western Stock Show (NWSS) and Fort Worth Stock Show sale offerings, Orr-Perez says. Rather than trying to address both topics in one ad, C&M created two ads for the space — one to run before the NWSS and one to run after NWSS and before Fort Worth.
④— Location, location, location If given the choice, Orr-Perez says, ask for a prime Web site location for your banner advertisement. “Location is just like ad placement — the back cover or inside front cover of a magazine are where you want to be, because they’re seen the most,” she says. “The same is true for banner ads. Some pages aren’t viewed as much as others. You want to be sure you’re on a page that gets a lot of traffic.”
⑤— Bigger is better Orr-Perez recommends purchasing a larger banner ad, if location is not a choice. “The bigger banner ads have more space — more real estate — thus, giving you the opportunity to more likely get noticed,” she says.
“If you see more hits when you run a banner ad, it’s a good sign your banner ad is effective.” — Tonya Orr-Perez
⑥— Know your competition Will your ad be in rotation with other banner ads? If so, how many? “The fewer banner ads they have, the more exposure you’re going to have,” Orr-Perez says. “If they have 10 banner ads in rotation, you may only be seen by every 10th person. How many others will your ad be competing with?”
⑦— Plan ahead The use of your banner ad will determine the timing of placement, Orr-Perez says. If the banner ad is promoting a sale, it’s best to have it live on the site at least a month before the sale to allow time to gather contact information for potential customers and mail them a catalog. Also, don’t forget creation time. Check with your ad creators to determine the deadline for materials to be submitted to them, in order for the ad to be created in time to go live by your desired date.
⑧— Get the traffic report When shopping for the best Web site for your banner advertisement, Orr-Perez says, ask for the average number of hits — or views — on the Web site. For example, during the months of December and January, banner ads on AHA’s Web site were viewed 217,741 times and were clicked on 2,603 times. “In this industry, almost everyone is charging by the month,” Orr-Perez says. “The higher the traffic, the more it’s going to cost because you’re going to be seen more.”
⑨— Let them know who you are Sometimes a banner ad promoting an upcoming production or privatetreaty sale is needed. However, sometimes an ad simply promoting your operation is the best choice, Orr-Perez says. “It keeps people coming back to your Web site and keeps them interested in what you’re doing,” she says. “It’s important to get out there and market your operation. If you’re not out there marketing it, no one else is.”
⑩— Keep it current Even if you’ve paid for a full month of advertising on a Web site, change your ad or remove it if the sale date has passed, Orr-Perez says. “If you still have three weeks left in what you’ve paid for, change out the ad and promote a herd sire or donor,” she says. “But, if the ad is out of date, potential customers assume that because you’ve lagged on updating your banner ad, you’ve lagged on updating your Web site, too. So, why go there?” 11 — Track your hits
The best way to determine if your banner ad is successful is to track the number of hits to your Web site, OrrPerez says. “With C&M, they notice their Web site traffic spike when they run a banner ad,” Orr-Perez says. “If you see more hits when you run a banner ad, it’s a good sign your banner ad is effective.” 12 — Get the facts
Don’t be afraid to ask questions of experts in the agricultural advertising industry, Orr-Perez says. “They not only know the agricultural industry but also the technical aspects,” she says. “It’s important to find someone who can speak your language with the cattle and know what should be used for your marketing.” HW

Hereford Marketplace
Log On For Herefords
When looking for Hereford genetics, the first place to go is HerefordMarketplace.com. by Angie Stump Denton
P
roducers looking for Hereford genetics can now go to one place to find what they need. At HerefordMarketplace.com, visitors have access to Hereford production sale and private-treaty sale catalogs, semen catalogs, feeder calf and commercial female listings, sale results, links to upcoming sale dates (Event Central), and BuyHereford.com.
Joe Rickabaugh, American Hereford Association (AHA) director of seedstock marketing and field staff, says, “When developing the Hereford Marketplace site, we wanted it to be the place people went when looking for Herefords. We wanted a page that would be ‘the source’ to find Hereford genetics.” Hereford Marketplace is also easily accessible from any page on Hereford.org
by clicking on the “Marketplace” link at the top of the page. Marketplace also includes links to Hereford Photoshop, ShopHereford.com and sale results. A complement to Marketplace is Event Central, which is also listed on the top menu bar on all Hereford.org pages. Event Central includes a listing of all Hereford events and deadlines. Browsers can view Event Central in four ways — details, calendar, timeline and map. The menu on the left allows visitors to filter the events by clicking on event type and/or a certain state. For more about Event Central, see “Hereford.org” on Page 40.
Online sale catalogs
At HerefordMarketplace.com, visitors can find sale information on production sales, private treaty sales, commercial females and feeder calves as well as semen catalogs. Sale catalogs can be viewed in three ways: flip format, PDF or a searchable-EPD format. Marketplace also includes links to Hereford Photoshop, ShopHereford.com and sale results.
Visitors can view production sale and private-treaty sale catalogs at HerefordMarketplace.com. Catalogs are posted in three formats — PDF, flip and searchable-EPD (expected progeny difference) “data” format. “When we are looking at a catalog online, we like to look at the flip style,” explains Tammy Boatman of JWR Land and Cattle Co., Dallas, Ga. “It gives us a ‘real-like feeling’ — like we are actually looking at a printed catalog. Then if we see something that catches our eye, we can zoom in to read it better.” JWR hosts an annual production sale each May. Because the Boatmans and Rakestraws chose to have Creative Services produce their catalog, it was posted online in all three formats at no extra cost. “We think all three options are great and have a purpose,” Tammy says. “The flip style gives people the more real feeling they get when actually looking at a printed catalog

We have one three ways: flip format, PDF or a customer who prefers to not receive the catalog in the mail searchable-EPD format. and wants to print the catalog himself from his computer. The PDF also comes in handy if the catalog you received in the mail gets wet, lost, or marked or torn by kids. “The EPD-searchable style is great for people who are needing to improve a certain EPD in their herds. Like add more milk or add more growth. I would imagine a lot of bull buyers use this one more; after all, your bull is half your herd when it comes to breeding.” = Flip format Hereford breeders who do their own catalog or utilize another organization to produce their catalog, can be listed on Marketplace at a low cost. They can choose to have their catalog posted in any of the three formats. As an added benefit, the catalogs will also be listed in the Weekly Hereford Sales Digest that is e-mailed to more than 5,000 subscribers during sale season. Online catalog rates are: • PDF version — $200 – Customer will provide a low resolution PDF to post to the site.
• Data version — $2 per lot or $5 per lot if Creative Services staff provides the data entry. The data will need to be submitted on an Excel template that can be downloaded at Hereford.org/ content/online-creative-services.
• Flip Version — $250 – Customer provides a low resolution PDF*.
• All three options — $500 for 100 lots or less, $600 for more than 100 lots.

Feeder cattle, commercial females With the development of the Hereford Marketplace Web site, it was decided to incorporate the feeder calf and commercial female listings that were previously included on HerfNet.com. The feeder cattle and commercial female listings are not an online auction. There are no fees, commissions or obligations imposed upon the buyer or the seller. The listing’s purpose is to provide buyers with contact names and phone numbers to negotiate directly with the seller or his/ her representative. The service is open to all Hereford and Hereford-influenced feeder cattle and commercial female producers. Producers and/or their representatives can list cattle by completing an online form or by calling the toll-free number (866-437-3638). Note: AHA does not validate the accuracy of any cattle descriptions listed on Hereford Marketplace. The feeder calf and commercial female listings on Hereford Marketplace are open to all cattlemen, regardless of their AHA affiliation. Newly received listings should appear on the Web site within two business days. In addition to the online listing, feeder calf information is faxed to select Certified Hereford Beef feedlots. If you would like to receive this fax, please contact Heidi Tribbett, Hereford Verified and Hereford Marketplace specialist, at 866-437-3638. HW

Matching Buyers and Sellers
BuyHereford.com is a marketing tool for producers, regardless of size, looking to buy or sell Hereford genetics. by Angie Stump Denton
I
n November the American Hereford Association (AHA) launched BuyHereford.com, an online auction Web site that features regular consignment auctions. This new marketing site gives Hereford breeders the power to reach potential customers worldwide. Designed to help producers with any herd size, this service provides a marketing option for those producers who do not host annual production sales but can also be a
“BuyHereford.com is an excellent way for livestock producers with smaller numbers that do not have production sales every year to merchandise their cattle to anyone in the world via the Internet,” says Jeff Koch, Showtime Cattle Co., Greenfield, Ind. Koch consigned heifers to the second sale in December. “Even if you do not sell what you have on BuyHereford.com, you are still getting nationwide attention that you would not have had before consigning,” he says. Koch’s personal Web site experienced an increase in traffic, which he credits to his listing on BuyHereford.com. Hereford producers can participate in the monthly BuyHereford.com consignment auctions, or producers can host their own private online auction. Jerry Huth of Huth Polled Herefords, Oakfield, Wis., utilized BuyHereford.com the week before his open house bull sale on May 22. Visitors to BuyHereford.com could view videos and information about the offering as well as place a bid online. “It worked well in referencing people to certain bulls,” Huth says. “I had a couple of people call and ask about the bulls, and I told them to look at the videos on BuyHereford.com. It did work as I did get a couple people buying bulls that watched the videos.”
The price is right complementary outlet for those who do host a production sale. AHA members can consign females, bulls, steers, cow-calf pairs, donor dams, embryos, semen, picks of the herd or flush rights. Commercial female lots and groups of feeder calves can also be listed. Offerings are not just limited to Hereford genetics; consignments can also include equipment such as chutes, trailers, show tack and equipment, or feed.
“If you are looking for exposure for your Hereford cattle at an economical price — this is an avenue worth considering,” says Joe Rickabaugh, American Hereford Association (AHA) director of field management and seedstock marketing. Since the inception last November, eight BuyHereford.com sales have been conducted. The BuyHereford.com site has had 125,145 hits since the first auction began, an average of 15,643 hits per sale. There have been 18,209 unique internet/computer

connections, an average of 2,276 per sale. The average number of page visits per person while on the site is 6.87. In early June, BuyHereford.com had registered bidders from 34 states and Canada. “BuyHereford.com is a tremendous opportunity for smaller breeders to market their Hereford genetics nationally — honestly, world-wide — at a very minimal cost,” says John Meents, AHA northeast field representative. “It gives the small breeder an equal playing field.” To consign to the sale there is an initial nonrefundable, up-front fee of $50 per pictured animal or product or $75 for a videoed animal or product. Once the animal or product is sold, a 12% commission will be deducted from the sale price for registered cattle and 6% for commercial cattle.
The service The idea for BuyHereford.com is not new to the livestock industry. A similar online auction system has been very successful in the pig industry. Kevin Wendt, a bonded professional auctioneer and owner of The Wendt Group, started www.showpig.com. “After the first year, it doubled the volume of animals sold,” explains Meents. “The next year it doubled again. In fact it doubled in dollars every year the
“Even if you do not sell what you have on BuyHereford.com, you are still getting nationwide attention that you would not have had before consigning.” — Jeff Koch first five years. I think BuyHereford.com could very possibly take the same growth curve.” To start BuyHereford.com, AHA has contracted with the The Wendt Group. This organization has a team of customer service people led by representative Tyler Humphrey, who works with breeders to post their listings on the site. Breeders can also contact their AHA field representative to help them with the process. See “The process: consigning” and “The process: bidding online” for tips on how to consign or bid online.
Upcoming sales Meents says, “This summer and early fall we are going to have some special sales like a show steer sale in August and a show heifer sale in September. The goal of these sales is to target the market for show prospects.”
The process: bidding online
Every buyer must sign up on the site and be prequalified to be an approved buyer at the auction. The Wendt Group is responsible for collection of the proceeds for each purchase before delivery and will guarantee consignor payment within 30 days of the auction. To sign up as a bidder:
• Go to BuyHereford.com and click on “Register” at the top of the page. • Read the “Online Auction Terms and Conditions/User Agreement.” • If you accept the agreement, you will then need to select “I Agree” and this will

In July there will be a special BuyHereford.com sale to raise funds for the Hereford Research Foundation, a division of the Hereford Youth Foundation of America, to support research and breed improvement efforts (see Pages 170-171).

I truly believe that someday it will be a major marketing tool in the Hereford breed.” HW

Hereford producers are no exception, with Hereford.org being the one-stop information resource for everything from shows and sales to recordkeeping. Since 2002 the American Hereford Association (AHA) has offered members the option to register cattle online. In fact, about 60% of all AHA animal registrations are done using the online registry system. However, like learning any new skill, registering cattle online takes some adjustment. Although the procedure has been modeled after the paper forms to help ease the transition, it can be frustrating at first.
Easy to use, quick, convenient Hereford breeder Alex Mih has registered hundreds of cattle using the online system for the last five years. “I think it’s relatively easy to become familiar with,” Mih says. Mih and his mother, Mariam, own MM Ranch, Chanute, Kan., and use the online system for both registering cattle and keeping performance records. He says the online system has benefits that paper records don’t provide. For example, he appreciates the
“The biggest advice I would give anyone is to keep the records up-to-date. We have 1,200 cows and two calving seasons to keep records on, so staying on top of it is pretty critical.” — Alex Mih system’s ability to catch human error. “I think there are several features built into the system that help us. If you make an error, the system will pick it up. Say we entered a number more than once; the system shows that to us as an error before we submit it. That allows for identification of potential errors before the data is ever submitted to the Association.” Members participating in the Whole Herd TPR™ (Total Performance Records) program can create or update herd inventories, record calves with or without birth weights, and submit weaning, yearling and disposal data electronically. Electronic submittal of data and registrations makes for quicker, more efficient processing once it is received by the AHA. When each “batch” or group of data is submitted to the AHA, the system automatically produces a PDF file report, similar to what
AHA registration costs The AHA offers discounted registration fees for registrations submitted early and electronically. Mail Electronically Calves up to 4 month of age $12 $10 Calves between 4 and 8 months of age $18 $15 Calves between 8 and 12 months of age $25 $20 Calves 12 months of age and over $50 $50
you would receive in the mail if submitting the paper forms. This report contains information on contemporary groups, ratios and updated expected progeny differences (EPDs). By using the electronic system, though, the report is produced right away, allowing the producer to use this data for management decisions in a timely manner. For those accustomed to paper recordkeeping, using the online system may seem daunting. Mih says it can be a large task if the producer only records data once a year. “The biggest advice I would give anyone is to keep the records up-to-date. We have 1,200 cows and two calving seasons to keep records on, so staying on top of it is pretty critical.” He adds that another good feature is that the user can work on a number of records at a time, and then, if something comes up, the files can be saved to come back to later. Mih also appreciates the “CalfCrop Tracker” summary page, which shows the user where he’s at in the data system inventory, such as weaning, yearling or harvest data. Using the online system also makes it easier for producers to include their calf crops in the continued on page 68...

In November AHA added new tools to the enhanced Internet accounts and online registry system. The features were developed based on comments and responses to a survey regarding the AHA’s online registry service. The new features focus on making the system easier to navigate and easier to understand as well as provide Whole Herd Total Peformance Records (TPR™) breeders an overview of what information has been recorded on a specific year’s calf crop and what information still needs to be recorded. For Whole Herd TPR breeders, the “Calf-Crop Tracker” seen in the upper portion of the control panel will provide a detailed breakdown on specific season calf crops so you can see what has been recorded at the AHA and what still needs to be updated. Detailed instructions for using these new features can be found in the lower section of the control panel. You don’t have to be an online registry user to benefit from using the “Calf-Crop Tracker.” However, online registry users will find it easy to create batches of needed information from the to-do lists in the “Calf-Crop Tracker.”

...Online Registration continued from page 66
genetic analyses that are prepared twice a year. It is, however, vital that breeders update the information for all calves in order for the data to be included in the analyses. AHA Director of Records Stacy Sanders says, “Remember that some traits are optional, but for any of the data for a particular trait to be included in the genetic evaluation, data on the entire calf crop must be submitted.”
Common errors It’s important to remember, however, that the system will sometimes give error messages to the user. Problems indicated by these messages must be fixed before the data can be submitted. AHA Records Supervisor Cindy Coleman says that the following are some common causes of error:
should never use the “P” prefix when using the online registry system or doing an EPD search.
• The calving date was entered
incorrectly. Dates must be entered using this format: xx/xx/xxxx. For example, a calf born on May 17, 2010, would be entered 05/17/2010. A calf born Oct. 1, 2009, would be entered 10/01/2009.
• The user put the “P” prefix
on a registration number. You
• The user forgot to enter
a calving ease score for each calf registered.
Frequently asked questions
in the sire or dam ID. The sire and dam IDs must be entered exactly as they are in the herd inventory for the computer to recognize them.
The following are some other frequently asked questions about the online registry system:
Is my information secure? Yes, users must set up an AHA Internet account prior to inputting any information. The Internet account requires a password to log in and make changes or view your information. It is important to periodically change your password and not to tell the password or make it visible to anyone you do not want to access the account.
Do I need to have a brand new computer for the system to work? No, the registry and data system is all Internet-based, so as long as you have an Internet connection, you can use the system.
What if my computer freezes up? Will all my data be lost? No, each time you push “Update” to get to the next screen, the data is saved. Sanders says the most that can be lost is what’s on your screen. There are two options of adding data — either one head at a time or 10 head at a time. At most, 10 records could be lost if that’s what’s on your screen and your computer crashes just before you press “Update.” So it’s possible to lose what’s on your screen, but any prior data entered will be saved.
What is the comment box for? Coleman encourages system users to enter information into the comment box for each calf crop such as the calving season and year, i.e. spring 2009 or fall 2008. Other information that could be useful to the staff should be entered here. For example, if there is a pending transfer, the staff needs the full address of the buyer/ seller. HW
• The herd inventory was not
completed before the user attempted to register the calves. The user must update the herd inventory each year before calves can be registered.
What does a warning message mean? A warning message is the system’s way of telling you that the information is not as accurate as it should be or could be. It’s just to draw your attention to a possible error; it’s not necessarily something that will prevent you from submitting the data.
• The user did not designate
if the calf was horned “H,” polled “P” or scurred “S” when prompted. Each calf must be identified “H,” “P” or “S.”
How do I sign up to use the online registry/recordkeeping system? Signing up is simple. Log on to Hereford.org and click on “Animal Registration” under the “Records/TPR” tab. Here you can download the sign-up form, which must be filled out and mailed or faxed into the AHA office. Once AHA has processed the form, you will receive an e-mail with detailed instructions for getting started.
• The user made an error
• The sire of the calf being
registered is not enrolled in the TPR program. Each sire must be enrolled so the sire’s ID will be recognized by the system.
For more information There is much more information on the online registry system at Hereford.org. To access this, log on to Hereford.org and click on “Records/TPR” and then click on “Animal Registration.” Here, there are directions for signing up and comprehensive information about the system as well as a step-by-step guide for users. Members may also call the AHA office at 816-842-3757 with questions. Just ask for customer service. HW

e began testing bulls for Residual Feed Intake in 2005 at the Green Spring Bull Test in Nevada, Mo. All replacement heifers born since 2006 have been tested for RFI at the University of Missouri or with our own Grow Safe units in large contemporary groups. In conjunction with researchers at the University of Missouri and Colorado State University, we have developed an on ranch RFI EPD allowing for comparison of a large number of individuals representing many bloodlines for this important trait. We continue to build on this database of several hundred bulls and replacement females as another valuable tool for selection.

Video — Marketing
Marketing in Action
Capturing video of cattle for sale is the latest advancement in the marketing world.
by Christy Couch Lee
I
t’s been said a photo is worth a thousand words. But, what is it worth to see that photo in action? To folks involved in videography, the answer is: priceless. Video is the latest marketing tool to be utilized by progressive cattlemen across the country. Videos can be packaged as DVDs to be mailed to potential customers and uploaded to ranchers’ Web sites for viewing around the world. Mark Sneed, Maximum Exposure, Ewing, Ill.; Jason Barber, Superior Productions, Ft. Worth, Texas; and Joe Van Newkirk, Newkirk Herefords, Oshkosh, Neb., all have witnessed and experienced the success of video. They say by following a few simple guidelines, you, too, can find success with this latest advancement in the marketing arena.
How they began Although they perform different functions within the cattle industry today, Sneed, Barber and Van Newkirk
all share a common thread — a lifetime in the cattle industry. Sneed was born and raised in southern Illinois and exhibited cattle from an early age. After high school graduation, he began a consulting business — buying, selling and fitting cattle. Realizing in recent years that more than 90% of his cattle sales were a result of photos on his Web site, he took matters into his own hands — taking his own photographs and building his own Web site. “Neighbors started calling me, asking me to take pictures for them,” Sneed says. “One thing led to another. And, five years ago, I bought a camera and went to the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. I’ve been on the road virtually every day since.” Last May, Sneed discovered the possibilities of videography during photo shoots he was conducting in conjunction with Superior Productions. “It was very obvious to me that this is where we’re going,” Sneed says. “No matter how good I am or any other photographer is in the country, not one of us can take a
picture as good as a video. The video doesn’t lie. It is what it is.” Sneed says his video business has exploded, and he now runs four video crews across the country, which can be shooting simultaneously. Video now comprises 75% of his business, he says, and this year, he plans to triple his 2009 business of shooting more than 100 herds. “There’s such a demand for it — it’s been really good to me,” Sneed says. “And, I’ve had an awesome clientele, which has made me look very smart.” Barber was raised on his family’s century-old Hereford ranch near Channing, Texas. Actively involved in showing Herefords on the national level, he served as president of the Texas Junior Hereford Association. Barber earned his degree in animal science from Texas A&M University (TAMU), where he worked at the TAMU Beef Center and was a member of the 2004 national champion livestock judging team. He began his career with Superior Livestock Auction in January 2007, editing videos and producing and directing commercial

downhill because they’ll look coarser or they’ll look off in their hip.” Barber says the sun should ideally be behind the photographer, and he aims to shoot video from 9:30 to 4, to harness the best lighting. Sneed recommends pen dimensions of about 125 × 125 ft., as cattle have room to walk and are not nervous by being too close to people. “A lot of people like to shoot in 40 × 40 ft. pens, but the cattle never get a chance to get out and stride,” he says. “If I’m going to watch a video, I don’t want them stopping and staring at me.” Ideally, Sneed says, a producer will have a lot or pen devoted to video and photography shoots. “Many producers want to use a dirt feedlot,” Sneed says. “Cattle just
don’t look good on that. I like to have cattle out on deep grass, where they’re meant to be. That ground is the most valuable piece of property a breeder has because that’s going to be the appearance any potential buyer will see.”
⑤— Harness the help In addition, Sneed and Barber say, a producer must be certain he has plenty of help on video day. The number needed is dependent on how many it will take to have 20-40 cattle ready to go at a time, Sneed says. “We’re only going to take three minutes to video one, so we need to have plenty ready in a pen to video,” he explains. Producers should also not treat the video shoot as a showring,
Do-it-yourself dos and don’ts
Think you have what it takes to shoot your own video? Mark Sneed, Maximum Exposure, Ewing, Ill., and Jason Barber, Superior Productions, Ft. Worth, Texas, say it’s doable, as long as you follow some words of advice.
Good equipment is essential Sneed says if you choose to shoot your own video, invest in good equipment. “You can get by with a relatively cheap $300 camera for still photos,” Sneed says. “But, for video, we’re using TV cameras. The editing programs we use are also high quality. There’s a big difference between going to Best Buy and buying a video camera versus purchasing professional video equipment.” Sneed says a major difference between professionalgrade and lower-quality cameras is the zoom. “When you go with a cheaper camera, you have to be pretty close to them, because they can’t zoom in,” he says. “I like to be quite a distance from those cattle — 100 to 125 feet from them. They don’t get nervous, and you get a more gentle and realistic movement. With these high-end cameras, we can pull them in very close, and it’s still very clear.”
Analyze all angles Sneed says a good video provides a view of the animal from every angle. “Sometimes that’s not the most flirtatious look, but it’s an honest look,” he says. “We want to show testicles on bulls and udders on females, and coming at us with the chest floor, and going away with the hock set. We don’t try to cover anything up. We’re just trying to show all the positive and negative
with too many people in the pen working the cattle, Sneed says. Barber says about two people in the pen are adequate. “I like to let them out and relax,” Sneed says. “And when they come in, you’ll get a more accurate appraisal of their movement because they’re not as nervous.” Van Newkirk says their key to success is to work their cattle on horseback and to use a videographer that is also a good cattleman.
⑥— Use them effectively Sneed says, without a doubt videos should be uploaded to your farm or ranch Web site. “It’s worldwide,” Sneed says. “From a cost-effective standpoint, it’s just a must.”
aspects of an animal. It’s only fair to the customer to be able to see it.”
Composition is critical Sneed says a basic understanding of good photography composition and techniques serves a videographer well. He and Barber recommend using a tripod rather than holding the camera in your hands. “People try to walk around the cattle with the camera — I’ve even tried it,” Sneed says. “You need Dramamine® to watch the video because your camera is bouncing all the time. Make the camera stable.” Patience is also critical, Sneed says. “Cattle are uncontrollable,” he says. “They really don’t understand you’re shooting a video and exactly what you want. The people in the pen need to be easy and low-key. Just let the cattle walk.” Camera height is a detail often overlooked, Sneed says. If your camera is at the same height while shooting calves and mature bulls, the camera angle will be off. “We try to shoot from the natural stance where you’d look at cattle,” Sneed says. “For calves bring the camera lower, so you’re not just looking at their backs and tailheads.” Barber says the shot should be cropped tightly on the animal but not so tightly that the head, feet or tail is cut off. In addition, the camera movement should be fluid with no fast zooms or jerks of the camera. Whether you hire a professional or take matters into your own hands, video promotion is the next generation of cattle marketing. Take the proper steps, and see how it can be worth more than a thousand words to you. HW

In addition, many ranchers are now packaging DVDs of their offering with sale catalogs and flyers. “That’s really the next generation,” Sneed says. “Breeders don’t need still photos of anything not in the top third of the catalog. The cattle look better on video.” Van Newkirk says they typically mail out about 100 DVDs in the weeks previous to their sales. “People call and request the videos, and they seem to like them,” Van Newkirk says. “I’ve never had any negative feedback.” Packaging DVDs with catalogs works well for ranches with slow Internet connections or ranchers who may be intimidated by the Internet, Sneed says.
“Ranchers can sit down in the recliner with a cheeseburger, a bag of chips and a drink and pop the DVD into the TV and watch cows walking around,” Sneed says. “That’s where their heart is, and that’s what they love doing.”
⑦— Time it right An advantage of videography is how quickly it can move. While it can take up to four days to photograph 150 head, it’s no problem to video that same number in one day, Sneed says. Sneed and his crew typically shoot three to four minutes per animal and edit it down to a 30-second clip for DVD or online viewing. Barber agrees. He has shot video for breeders offering 60 to 800 head. Once, he was able to video more
than 2,200 head in two weeks for breeders in Montana.
⑧— Make sure it’s worth it Van Newkirk says the investment can be significant in broadcasting your sale on RFD-TV through Superior Productions. So, he says, you must ensure you have a quality product that’s clean and attractive. In addition, he says, you must have the volume to warrant the expense. “When buying time on Superior, we didn’t want to be rushed in the sale,” Van Newkirk says. “We are still running the bulls through the ring on sale day. We bought plenty of time because we didn’t want to start hurrying the bulls through — that’s counterproductive.” HW

How to get started:
• Visit www.youtube.com • Click “Create Account” at the top right of the page. • On the “Get started with your account” page, provide required information, including username, location, postal code, date of birth and gender. Read the terms of use, then click the “I accept” box.
• On the “Do you already have a Google account?” page, either enter your Google account information, or create a new Google account by entering your e-mail address and creating a password. Click “Sign in” or “Create new account and Finish,” depending on the appropriate method for your sign-in.
Projecting your message loud and clear Before you start recording videos for YouTube, Chandler recommends educating yourself on video formats and basic video editing software. He says it’s critical to purchase a camcorder that will allow videos to be shot from a distance in order to not disturb the cattle. In addition, he says, video files require large amounts of computer hard drive space. So, prepare accordingly. The first step in utilizing YouTube is establishing an account and “channel,” or homepage. On your channel, you can provide details of contact information and a general description of your farm or ranch. You also can customize the video featured on your channel, among other features. In order for potential customers to locate your channel through the site’s search engine, Chandler says you must also tag videos with keywords your customers will use while searching. “If you send customers to your videos, it’s one thing,” Chandler says. “But, to be found without people knowing about you, you need keywords.” Chandler recommends using as many keywords as relevant to the video. Some examples are “cattle,” “beef cattle,” “Hereford cattle,” “Hereford bulls” and “Hereford heifers.” YouTube also features a rating system — with five of five stars being the best. The more ratings your videos receive and the higher those ratings are, the higher your videos will appear in searches. Although YouTube can be a great source of entertainment, don’t underestimate its marketing power. By featuring your cattle in motion, you can place your operation in the spotlight. HW

A
ll of the celebrities are doing it: posting their latest coffee purchase or hotel check-in for the world to view. But, perhaps you haven’t considered the business advantages of the latest trend in Internet technology: Twitter. Twitter is a real-time information network, allowing members to share short (140 characters or less) bits of news or information with those in their network, according to the Twitter Web site. Businesses and organizations may also find Twitter to be an effective tool to stay connected to their customers, the Web site says. It can be used to quickly share
information with people interested in the business, to gather real-time market intelligence and feedback, and to build relationships with customers and other industry members, the site says. Erick Schmidt owns the Web design company ES Design Group. In addition, he, along with parents, Keith and Sara, and brother, Travis, own and manage Schmidt Cattle Co. in Gonzales, Texas. For the past year, they have utilized Twitter to promote their operation, in conjunction with their Facebook fan page and their Web site. Schmidt says, although Twitter doesn’t allow a person to provide
How to get started:
• Visit www.twitter.com • Click the box, “Sign up now.” • Provide required information, including name, username and password. • Choose categories of interest that appeal to you from the list provided on the “Sources” sign-up page. You will then see a list of potential people to follow. If they look interesting, click the “Follow” button next to their listing. Their “tweets” will then appear on your home page. • Locate your friends currently using Twitter by allowing Twitter to search your Yahoo!, Gmail or AOL e-mail address book on the next sign-up page. Choose the e-mail of choice, and follow the instructions. • Search for other friends on the final sign-up page by searching for friends’ names or business names. When you locate a friend, click the “Follow” button next to his listing. His “tweet” will then appear on your home page. • Click the “Next step: You’re done!” button. You will be taken to your home page, where all tweets from those you follow will appear. • To create a tweet, type 140 characters or fewer in the “What’s happening?” box, and then click the “Update” button.

great detail, it does keep customers and potential customers interested in an operation. “If they’re following you, it’s a great way to keep them involved with your company,” he says. “It keeps them updated and interested.” He says the Schmidts most often utilize Twitter to provide short bits of information about customers’ successes or new calves on the ground. “I use Twitter most often during the show season,” Schmidt says. “I post results from our show success or congratulate juniors during stock show events.” However, the greatest advantage to Twitter, Schmidt says, is its power to draw viewers to the ranch’s Web site and Facebook fan page.
Stay connected Schmidt says that before a producer begins a Twitter account, establishing a Web site is the No. 1 priority. “With Twitter you try to keep things short and sweet,” Schmidt says. “You want to provide little teases in order to cause them to check your Web site for more information.” Twitter allows space for a short biography and link to a Web page. In addition, either you or a Web design professional can create a background for your profile, featuring photos and a bit more detail on your operation. Through tweets providing new and interesting news or updates, customers are likely to visit your Web site to view complete information on cow families, show success and herd photos, Schmidt says. In fact, Schmidt says, when he evaluates where visitors to the ranch Web site originate, most often, they have arrived via Twitter or Facebook.

Put On Your Best Face
Facebook can provide marketing tools to help you make the most of your customer relationships. by Christy Couch Lee and Julie White
W
ho would have guessed a social networking Web site founded a few short years ago could grow to become a powerful marketing tool for businesses? Founded in February 2004, Facebook now boasts more than 400 million active users, according to the Facebook information page. Chances are you are one of those millions who rely on the site to stay connected with friends and stay abreast of the latest events and trends.
Lowell Moser, a 75-year-old cattle producer and Facebook user from Effingham, Kan., certainly is. “I get on Facebook just to see what other people have to say,” Moser says. Moser had been corresponding with Mark Largent, Kaycee, Wyo., through e-mail after purchasing a heifer. Largent invited Moser to use Facebook, and he has been a user ever since.

considered the marketing power it holds? “Facebook is a great way to market cattle,” says Erick Schmidt, Gonzales, Texas. Schmidt, owner of the Web design company ES Design Group, also owns and operates Schmidt Cattle Co. along with his parents, Keith and Sara, and brother, Travis. The Schmidts, for the past year, have used Facebook, in addition to Twitter and a Web site, to publicize their business. “Facebook is quick and easy, and easy for everyone to look through.” Hereford producers can utilize features such as creating events, groups or fan pages to create interest and entice customers. And, in the world of marketing, staying at the top of customers’ minds is the name of the game.
It’s all for the fans Schmidt says ranches can best utilize Facebook by creating a page for the operation. Customers and potential customers can “like” your page, thus connecting your operation to those interested in your offering.
How to get started: Creating a personal profile • Visit www.facebook.com • Under the heading “Sign Up,” provide required information, including first and last names, e-mail address, gender, birth date and password. Then click the green box, “Sign Up.” • Under the heading “Step 1: Add Friends,” choose friends to add based on the suggestions provided. • Under the heading “Step 2: Find Friends,” enter your e-mail address and password to locate friends in your e-mail contacts who may also be on Facebook. Choose friends to add based on the suggestions provided. • Under the heading “Step 3: Profile Information,” complete education and employer information for your profile page. • Under the heading “Step 4: Profile Picture,” upload a photo from your computer, or use your Web cam to take a photo of yourself for use as your profile photo. Click the “Save and continue” button. • You will be taken to your home page, where all status updates from your friends will appear under the “News Feed” heading.
• To create a status update, type your information in the “What’s on your mind?” box, and click the “Update” button.
• Under the “Suggestions” heading on the right side of the
home page, you will see the names of people with whom you share mutual friends.

Until recently these were called fan pages. By creating a Facebook page, a member is able to post photos and videos, create events, and update those who “like” their page about the latest news and events. In addition, Facebook pages allow the option to create advertisements that appear on a member’s home page. “We use our Facebook page for everything — it’s basically our Web site on Facebook,” Schmidt says. Some producers create personal profiles for their farm or ranch, rather than a page. Schmidt recommends all farms or ranches establish pages because of the extra features available. “If you’re going to set up an account for your cattle company, you need to have a page,” he says. “If (you) set up the account as an individual, it won’t have the same look and options. With pages, it’s easy to attract the friends you already have on Facebook, and it’s easy to inform your fans of upcoming sales and helpful links.” In addition, Schmidt says, your farm or ranch can quickly attract new users who “like” your page. When a person “likes” your page, a notice is posted in their friends’ “news feed.” Sometimes, Schmidt says, a friend will check out the page and “like” it — even if the initial invitation wasn’t sent to that person. To maintain users’ interest, Schmidt says, it’s important to update your page often. “We update most often during show season,” he says. “But, when we’re not showing, we’re putting something up about what has recently calved and when cattle are available for viewing.” Posting photos and videos on your page can also begin discussions amongst your visitors, Schmidt says. “The pages make it easy for customers to search through and view cattle photos,” he says. “Visitors can leave comments on photos, as well.

a great way for them to network. One comment can get other comments going. It gets conversations started.” Another beneficial feature of Facebook is the “event” tool, which allows customers to stay up-to-date with the events of your operation.
The big event With the Facebook event tool, the coordinator can provide event details, links, videos and photos and facilitate discussions. In addition, the coordinator can invite others to attend, monitor RSVPs and send updates to attendees. “I created a Facebook event for our Shades of Red and White sale held last fall,” says Audrey Hambright of Kanza Cattle, Chapman, Kan. “My intentions with the ‘invite’ was to gain interest and spread awareness,
Although Facebook provides many advantages, it should not be your sole marketing tool, Schmidt says. “Facebook is somewhat limited,” he says. “It’s difficult to show a donor cow with full details of show success and daughters on one page.” For this reason, Schmidt says, every operation should have a Web site to which customers can turn for more detailed information. In addition, he says, a Web site is critical to reach a more expansive audience. “You’re not likely to get the commercial or older viewers who don’t have a Facebook account without a Web site,” Schmidt says. “The majority of (cattle) people on Facebook are mainly involved in the show cattle industry. Establish a Web site first. Then, spread out to Facebook and Twitter.” Although Facebook isn’t a miracle marketing tool, it can provide many advantages for producers hoping to reach even more customers. By creating a Facebook page for your operation, you just may put your best face forward in the marketing world. HW

Social Media — Blogging
Blogging for Business Telling your story through a blog can connect your business with customers and the public. by Christy Couch Lee and Julie White
T
he word is out: it’s time for cattlemen to tell their stories. Whether it’s sharing with cattlemen or the public, a blog can be just the tool to speak their minds. “Blog” is a shortened term for “web log,” which is a Web site usually maintained by an individual who provides regular entries of commentary or other material. Blogs can be diverse, from providing news to serving as an online diary. “Good blogs need quality writing and interesting subjects,” says J. Scott Vernon, California Polytechnic State University department of agricultural education and communication faculty member. Photographs, links to other Web sites and articles, and the opportunity to comment on a blog post are common components. Providing real connections is what BEEF magazine’s BEEF Daily blog is all about. Amanda Nolz, BEEF Daily editor, presents beef industry news and commentary four times a week on www.BEEFmagazine.com. “The blog began with the question of how to increase traffic on our Web site,” Nolz says. “We wanted to create an online community and provide articles pertinent to the beef industry. It is a combination of personal interaction and news.”
Monday through Thursday each week from her home on her family ranch in Mitchell, S.D., Nolz provides timely industry news along with details of her experiences as a young agricultural professional. Her blog has driven 320,800 page views to BEEF Daily since her first post in September 2008. Also from South Dakota, Troy Hadrick and his wife, Stacie, are fifth-generation ranchers in Vale. They began Advocates for Agriculture four years ago, speaking and blogging to tell a positive story for American agriculture. “In 2002 Michael Pollan interviewed us about the beef industry for The New York Times article titled ‘Power Steer,’” Hadrick says. “The article turned out to be much different than what he told us it would be. We were frustrated by that and realized we had to tell our story.”
“Blogs are a useful tool for beef producers because they allow real people to connect.” — Amanda Nolz
What began as one speech to a local Women in Agriculture group has grown to a daily blog begun in 2008, www.advocatesforag.blogspot.com, and dozens of presentations each year across the country. In the past year, the blog has experienced more than 40,000 visits. “You can spend a lot of time on the Internet, trying to keep up with the latest news regarding agriculture,” Hadrick says. “Our blog is a place for people to spend a couple of minutes each day to learn about what’s going on in the industry. It’s also a chance for us to talk with consumers and tell our story.” Blogs allow cattlemen to share stories, concerns and encouragement, Nolz says. “Blogs are a useful tool for beef producers because they allow real people to connect,” Nolz says. “As a young person getting my start in production agriculture, I often ask readers for their advice. We share our triumphs and we share our struggles. The best blogs are transparent and honest, creating an open community for dialogue.” Hadrick says a blog can keep a cattleman connected to the outside world, even when personal contact isn’t a possibility.

“A blog never replaces the handshake and visiting with folks eyeball to eyeball,” he says. “But, it’s hard to be two places at once, especially with a job that already takes up all of your day. There’s no better way to talk to others around the globe and get work done at home, too.” To make these connections, Hadrick says, all it takes is a few minutes, an Internet connection and a little planning.
Make a plan Hadrick says that although it may seem intimidating, the logistics of beginning a blog are simple. “I had never created a blog before Advocates for Ag,” Hadrick says. “Using www.blogger.com only took about five minutes to set up. It’s easy to do, and they make it easy to use.” Before you begin a blog, Hadrick says determining your focus is critical. “It’s important to have a focus from the beginning,” he says. “When you open up that brand-new blog and look at that blank screen, you may think, ‘What do I have to say?’ It can get discouraging. If you go in with a focus, you’ll do a better job of staying on task.” Hadrick says updating your blog regularly keeps readers engaged. “When I look at a site and see it hasn’t been updated in two months, I’m never going to come back,” he says. “I get the feeling that no one else is paying attention to the blog, so why should I?” Updates are made to the Advocates for Ag blog once or twice daily. And, Hadrick says, if he’s entering a busy time, he lets readers know he’s traveling or away from the computer and he’ll begin posting again soon. “I always want readers to know someone is behind the blog and it hasn’t been forgotten,” Hadrick says. Blog posts are best read when they’re short and sweet, he says.

“There’s no better way to talk to others around the globe and get work done at home, too.” — Troy Hadrick “People are more likely to read four sentences rather than four paragraphs,” Hadrick says. “No one wants to sit down and read a manifesto or 8,000-word essay.” Once the blog is written, he says, it’s also critical to tag each post with keywords that will lead newcomers to your blog. “Think about what people will search for and what they want to know about,” Hadrick says.
Integrating a blog with Facebook and Twitter can also increase traffic to a blog, Hadrick says. As he posts something new to the blog, Hadrick provides links on the Advocates for Ag Facebook and Twitter accounts. “Instead of readers being forced to visit the blog for updates, the updates come to them through Facebook and Twitter,” he says. Even with proper promotion, traffic to a new blog and audience growth can be slow, Hadrick says. But, he encourages cattlemen to be persistent. “Keep after it, and do a good job,” he says. “Let your customers know when bulls or seedstock are available. Post photos of your calves as they grow through the summer. If you do the little things and keep after it, success will come.” HW

Social Media — Craigslist
Liking the List
Hereford breeders across the country have discovered craigslist.org as a powerful tool to market their cattle. by Christy Couch Lee
W
ho would have known? Craigslist.org — a Web site established as an online classified service — could prove to be a successful marketing tool for Hereford breeders to promote and sell their genetics. Craigslist was established 15 years ago. Today, it experiences more than 20 billion page views per month with more than 50 million new classified ads posted each month, according to the craigslist.org FAQ page. Listings are categorized based on location and classification. More than 700 local sites are available in 70 countries. The majority of listings are free. However, certain job postings in 18 cities and brokered New York City apartments require a fee for listing. Hereford breeder Scott Woolfolk has taken advantage of the free listing. Scott and his wife, Cher, along with his parents, John and Pat, and brother, Matt, run 150 Hereford and commercial cows on their Jackson, Tenn., farm. Woolfolk says he had conducted many hay sales through craigslist.org. So, when they had 21 commercial cow-calf pairs to market in January, he thought he’d see what the site could do.
“The thought of using craigslist was attractive, because it works, and there are no fees,” Woolfolk says. “The day after I posted the listing, I didn’t do anything but talk on the phone. The phone rang all day long.” Potential customers called from Tennessee, as well as Mississippi and Missouri. “We never anticipated the amount of contacts and calls we’d get from it,” Woolfolk says. “It’s exciting to have that much interest in a set of commercial cows. We’ve used classified ads in newspapers and magazines for a long time, but we’ve never gotten the attention that this listing did.” Other Hereford breeders are taking advantage of craigslist as well. Lou Ellen Harr, along with husband, Jeff, and daughter, Keayla, own and operate J&L Cattle Service, Jeromesville, Ohio. In addition to
“It’s the same as with print advertising: more information and quality photos are key.” — Chisum Peterson
raising 60 Hereford cows, the Harrs also board heifers, feed out cattle, sell hay and mineral, and fit cattle for other breeders. The Harrs had been buyers on craigslist for some time. Last fall, when they had a few steers left after most had sold, Harr decided to give craigslist a shot. “My husband just laughed,” she says. “He asked why I was wasting my time. But, within 15 minutes of listing the steers, we had two hits. When it was all said and done, we could have sold more.” Chisum Peterson is the broker for and owner of Peterson Land & Auction LLC, Chamberlain, S.D., which is a real estate and auction brokerage, handling real estate, machinery, livestock equipment and purebred livestock auctions. Peterson began using craigslist for two reasons: research for his business and purchases for himself and his family’s purebred Limousin ranch in Pukwana, S.D. “I’m personally not involved in the day-to-day operations of the family business,” Peterson says. “But, my dad is not computer savvy. If I see something he’s searching for, I print out the listing for him or give him the phone number. Dad makes the final decision.” Peterson says listings for farm equipment vary according to season. Spring and summer bring lawn mower and tractor listings. And, in the winter, chains, snow blowers and blades are common, he says. By following a few simple guidelines, Woolfolk, Harr and Peterson say you, too, can discover success using craigslist.
①— Broaden your scope When listing an item on craigslist, a seller must determine the town or city to list that item under. Within each city and town are numerous categories. Potential customers will only locate an item by searching within the listed region — no fullsite searches are available.
Tracking Technology
98 Hereford World / July 2010
www.hereford.org
Tracking Technology
Because a potential buyer can only search one location at a time, Woolfolk recommends listing your offering in several local towns and cities. Harr agrees. Had they not had immediate success by listing only in Mansfield, Ohio, she was prepared to extend her listing to other local towns. “If we hadn’t gotten a response, we would have probably listed with others,” she says. “We were just testing the water.”
②— Post now, post often As a new item is added to a category, it appears first within that category listing. For this reason, Woolfolk and Peterson recommend deleting and reposting your listing every few days to keep it fresh and near the top of the list. Woolfolk says in order to gather the most contacts for his hay business, he re-enters his listings at least every other day. “With the cattle — both the cowcalf pairs and with a later listing of yearling bulls — we only had to list them one time,” he says. Peterson says, as a buyer, he only scrolls through the first page of listings. “If you’re not on the first page when I scroll through, I’m gone,” he says. “There gets to be many things posted in the ‘farm+garden’ section — especially on a weekend. If you’ve posted something, get on the site to ensure you’re still on the first page. If not, maybe you should delete and repost so that you’re always toward the front.” Craigslist rules state a user can post to one category and in one city no more often than every 48 hours. Postings expire after 45 days for most locations outside of major metropolitan areas.
③— It’s all in the details In order to attract attention to your listing, Peterson says detailed information and photos are critical, from a buyer standpoint. “As a buyer, the more information a person gives, the better,” he says. “If I see a listing for a 4020 John Deere tractor and I don’t see the icon for a
www.hereford.org
photo being included, I don’t click on it. It’s the same as with print advertising: more information and quality photos are key.” The Woolfolks had listed their cowcalf pair offering on BuyHereford.com, as well. So, from their craigslist posting, they provided a link to BuyHereford.com, where potential customers could view photos, videos and in-depth descriptions of the cattle. Harr says they did not include photos on their first craigslist postings of a group of steers and they had numerous requests for photos from potential customers as a result. “A picture is worth a thousand words,” she says. “Our thought was they were just steers. But, as always, a picture sells.” And, she says, should they ever choose to list purebred breeding stock on the site, they will include photos with their listings.
④— Prepare for the Q&A When listing on an open classified Web site such as craigslist, Harr recommends preparing for a variety of questions from people with a variety of backgrounds and knowledge levels. “Be prepared to answer a lot of questions,” Harr says. “You’ll get questions from the very experienced
“The thought of using craigslist was attractive, because it works, and there are no fees.” — Scott Woolfolk to the person who wants to feed one steer in their backyard.” Harr says they’ve been asked if their products are natural and how they manage their cattle, to name a few.
⑤— Secure that security Craigslist features millions of listings from millions of sellers. And, the buyers are just as numerous. Unfortunately, scams can come with the territory. Just as with any business transaction, using business sense will serve a seller or buyer well. Woolfolk says combining a listing on craigslist with a BuyHereford.com listing worked well for their operation. In addition to the capabilities of showing video on BuyHereford.com — an option not available on craigslist — Woolfolk says BuyHereford.com also provided seller security. “Our cattle sold through BuyHereford.com, and we used that as our seller protection,” Woolfolk says. “By utilizing BuyHereford.com, we got a check that we knew was good. We didn’t have that risk.” continued on page 100...

...Liking the List continued from page 99
However, Harr and Peterson say a seller or buyer can seek protection when dealing only with craigslist, too. When listing the group of steers on craigslist, Harr chose the option of an anonymous listing. With this option, no phone number or e-mail address is shown. Rather, potential customers can e-mail an anonymous craigslist e-mail address, which is forwarded to the seller’s e-mail account. “We chose the anonymous listing because we wanted to be able to screen potential customers,” Harr explains. “You could tell their level of true interest from the questions they asked, and that helped us screen the e-mails. If we had been selling breeding stock, however, we most likely would have listed a phone number in the listing.”
Peterson recommends when making a purchase, research the farm address of equipment or cattle if it is unknown to you. By searching the address through Google to view a map of the location and by performing some online research, a buyer can gain some knowledge of the seller. “Ultimately, buying something from craigslist is really no different than buying from a classified ad,” Peterson says. “They are as-is purchases. There is no warranty or guarantee. You buy something, and then it’s ‘good luck.’ Trust, but verify.” Using a little business sense and marketing savvy can help your listing rise to the top on craigslist. And, on this site, topping the list is the name of the game — leading to quick sales exceeding your expectations. HW

n the 1960’s and 1970’s the R.W. Jones Jr. Farm used the phrase, “ RWJ Practical Polled Herefords” to describe their Victor Domino cattle. We believe that The JMS Victor Domino herd is very practical as well. JMS cattle are multi-trait selected with major emphasis placed on fertility, calving ease, milking ability with excellent udders, and slick hair coats. The herd has been closed to outside females since 1987 and most of our herd sires are produced from within the herd. Our line breeding program features the highest concentration of Victor Domino blood in the breed. A line bred JMS Victor Domino bull with bred in prepotency will restore calving ease and milking ability to your herd. 25 line bred JMS Victor Domino bulls will sell on December 13th, 2010 at the Cross Diamond Red Angus Production sale in Bertrand, Neb. A special thanks to all bidders and buyers of JMS cattle last December.

Red Jacket Celeste Settrini says no matter where life takes her, it’s her experiences as an AJHA board member that made her the woman she is today. by Christy Couch Lee
“She might be the oldest junior Hereford association member in the country,” Loos says with a laugh. “She fondly remembers the people. Her days in the Hereford world shaped her in youth and made a lasting impression on her life.” Today, Settrini lives a fast-paced life as a produce broker, agricultural advocate and California Women for Agriculture (CWA) president. But, as she’ll tell you, nothing has affected her life quite like donning the red jacket and the sash during her junior Hereford days.
I
It’s been more than two decades since Celeste Settrini, Salinas, Calif., donned the red jacket signifying her status as an American Junior Hereford Association (AJHA) board member, and a sash proclaiming her as California Hereford Queen. However, according to friend and colleague Trent Loos, Loup City, Neb., the title and esteem of being an AJHA member carries with her to this day.
114 Hereford World / July 2010
Always a rancher Settrini was raised on her family’s commercial cow-calf Red Angus operation in the Salinas Valley of California, where she still lives today. Ranching is a family affair, with parents Gus and Anita; brother, John; sister-in-law, Julie; and nearly 2-year-old niece, Paige, involved in the daily activities of the ranch. A fourth-generation cattle rancher, Settrini was anxious to begin showing cattle at a young age. When she was 9, Settrini purchased
her first heifer — a Hereford — for $200 from Layous Bros. Hereford Ranch in King City, Calif. “I raised her and showed her for the first time at the local county fair,” she says. “She was in heat and was tugging me all around the ring. But, I stuck with it and won grand champion. I got the bug.” The Hereford bug stuck with Settrini through her junior showing career. She raised and exhibited Hereford cattle throughout California and attended every state junior Hereford field day through the years. With the encouragement of many California Hereford breeders, Settrini ran for the AJHA board and was elected to a three-year term in 1986. “During my term, I traveled to many national shows and field days and had the opportunity to speak on behalf of the Hereford industry and beef, in general, throughout the United States,” she says. “I have tremendous memories of all the people I met, the places I visited and the homes I stayed in. It pushed me into the right direction for where I am now in
www.hereford.org
“
life. I attest my success in life to my experiences on the Hereford junior board.” Settrini received her bachelor’s degree in agribusiness marketing from California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) in 1991. While at Cal Poly, she was active in the Agribusiness Marketing Club and Agricultural Ambassadors. All the while, Settrini says, her true loves were showing and fitting cattle and traveling as part of her Hereford junior board activities. Although she envisioned her career after college to be centered on cattle, fate had something different in store.
The fast-paced life of a produce broker A career in the produce industry was always an option for Settrini, but it wasn’t something she strongly considered. However, when Settrini graduated from Cal Poly, she accepted a job as a produce broker, where she remains today. “I always envisioned I’d work for a feed company or a livestock magazine — something with cattle,” she says. “The Salinas Valley is the ‘salad bowl of [the] world’ — so many commodities come from this area. I told myself I’d give it a try and see what it’s like to work as a produce broker. And, 19 years later, here I am.” Each day, Settrini arrives at her office at 5:30 a.m., and purchases vegetables and some fruits from farmers and markets their products to foodservice clients, primarily in the Midwest and on the East Coast. In addition, she coordinates company marketing, including newsletters and media interviews. When 3 p.m. arrives, she leaves the office to take on her second career as a partner in the family ranch. Settrini is involved in the dayto-day responsibilities of the ranch, including feeding, weaning, branding and marketing. In addition to a strenuous career and responsibilities on the ranch, Settrini also finds time to volunteer her talents for the advancement of the agricultural industry.
www.hereford.org
The greatest thing I can do is represent farmers and cattlemen in our area. It’s exciting, and it feels good.
Spreading the word
”
In January Settrini was elected to a two-year term as president of the CWA. “I was blessed to be elected as CWA president,” she says. “The CWA is a group of all that’s agriculture — farmers, ranchers, consumers and production agriculture. A cattle person hasn’t been at the lead for quite some time. It’s exciting for me and for the cattle people in California.” In 2008 Settrini was honored as Ag Woman of the Year for San Benito, Santa Cruz and Monterey counties. Among the many reasons she received this award were her agricultural advocacy efforts, according to a CWA press release. Advocacy for agriculture has been a primary goal for Settrini — both through CWA and personally. “I’ve made an attempt to put myself out to traditional media and social media, telling agriculture’s story,” Settrini says. “Not only for CWA, but for American agriculture, in general.” Just a few months ago, Settrini and friend Lynn Figone, Petaluma, Calif., created Ag 4 You — sharing agricultural information and sparking discussions on the Ag 4 You Facebook page. “We wanted to start a Facebook page where we can talk about everything,” Settrini says. “It’s not necessarily our opinions, but we share ideas and hopefully can learn something. We post stories and get the conversations going on different topics.” Once her CWA term ends, Settrini hopes the Ag 4 You page and her industry contacts can help her launch her public speaking career even further. “I certainly have a passion for the industry, and I love what I do,” Settrini says. “I speak from the heart.”
Because she speaks from the heart, she is often called upon by area cattle producers to speak on their behalf. “The greatest thing I can do is represent farmers and cattlemen in our area,” Settrini says. “It’s exciting, and it feels good.” Although some people might be intimidated by speaking to legislators, Settrini finds it exciting. “I love talking to legislators,” she says. “The people voted them into office, and we can vote them out, too.” Settrini also enjoys promoting “I Love Farmers,” a farm-advocacy group founded by Cal Poly students; serving on the Monterrey County Farm Bureau board of directors; and being involved in the California CattleWomen organization. How does she keep going throughout her many commitments? Settrini says she finds inspiration in others she admires and calls friends.
Finding inspiration In order to continually improve and advance in her advocacy efforts, Settrini says she relies on many colleagues and friends for advice and encouragement. Topping the list of supporters, Settrini says, is Trent Loos. Loos hosts and produces the radio program “Loos Tales,” which is heard by 3 million listeners on nearly 100 radio stations in 19 states. “Loos Tales” is one of six radio shows he produces, in addition to giving nearly 200 presentations on rural America throughout the U.S. yearly. “He’s been an inspiration for me to be my best self,” she says. “I love public speaking and talking to people. But, he’s given me that push and told me, ‘You can do this.’ We have things in continued on page 116...

the works that we’re doing together. It’s been fun, and I’m very lucky.” Loos says Settrini may not fully understand how much she’s already impacted the agricultural industry, and society, as a whole. “She talks about wanting to be an advocate for agriculture,” Loos says. “She has no clue that every day of her life, because of her passion for agriculture, she is an advocate. For leading by example, she’s the poster child. She is always upbeat and
always seeing the good side of what’s happening in ag, and she conveys that through her actions and words.” Settrini has been featured on Loos’ radio show Rural Route Radio three times, she says. “It’s crazy — the people I’ve met through social media who first heard me on Rural Route Radio,” she says. “I get so excited.

The friends Settrini has met through her Hereford experiences also provide great inspiration. Throughout the years, her memories of serving on the Hereford junior board are among the sweetest of her life, she says. “The people I met along the way made such an influence on who I am today,” she says. “Being with all of the people around the United States who supported me — the great notes they sent, the phone calls. I’ll never forget that. You can ask anybody. I love those people.”
Empowering others Settrini hopes that by speaking from the heart and making people feel special, she can empower them to reach their goals and to dare to try new things. “If not for Trent [Loos], I would not be where I am now, doing what I do,” Settrini says. “He has empowered me. Now, I find myself doing that with other people.” She hopes to empower cattle producers to speak up and tell their stories. “You’ve lived your experiences, and you’re an expert on your experiences,” she says. “There are many people who will try to tell it for you. And, if they don’t have an ag influence telling their story, that person is not going to know the truth.” Loos says Settrini is the perfect example of living life to its fullest. “Never say I wish I would have,” he says. “Follow your passion in life every day. Follow your heart — turn it loose and let it guide you. Anyone that speaks from their heart gains instant credibility, and people want to hear more of what you have to say.” Chances are, the agricultural industry has only begun to hear from Settrini. And to think, it all began with a red jacket and a queen’s sash. HW

Genetics — Managing Defects
Managing Genetic Abnormalities by Troy Smith
A
nxiety over genetic abnormalities in cattle is nothing new. Just more than 60 years ago, the issue was dwarfism and 25% of Gino Pedretti’s registered Hereford calves exhibited the unmistakable signs. It was a staggering blow to the then fledgling El Nido, Calif., breeder. At that time there was only one thing to do. “You got rid of anything suspected of carrying the defect, and that often meant eliminating entire bloodlines,” explains Pedretti, whose family now maintains a herd of some 200 cows and provides seedstock to a mostly commercial cattleman clientele. “Back then, I was just starting out, trying to build a registered herd. Of course, we had the dwarf gene on both sides. I had to start over with ‘clean pedigree’ cattle,” he adds. “It was the only way to get rid of it. Thankfully, there are better ways to manage genetic defects now.” During recent years producer anxiety has increased along with the prevalence of a variety of genetic abnormalities. Defects are occurring with what geneticists call “moderate” frequency among a variety of breeds. Most recently, concern among Hereford breeders and their patrons
have been related to a couple of genetic abnormalities. Hypotrichosis results in partial or nearly complete lack of hair, while idiopathic epilepsy (IE) leaves affected animals subject to seizures, which may be triggered by stress. Like dwarfism and most other genetic abnormalities, hypotrichosis and IE are transferred by recessive genes. The experts say every individual of every breed, or species for that matter, possesses recessive genes for characteristics or traits seldom expressed. Typically, recessive abnormalities are masked by dominant genes. However, defects are expressed when an individual inherits the associated recessive gene from both parents. So, for a calf to exhibit a recessive genetic defect, both parents must be carriers and each must have contributed the gene to the calf. Increased prevalence of defects is the result of increased, though unintentional, mating of carriers. That is a side effect of intensive genetic selection and advancement in selection technology. The industry has seen widespread use of breeding animals that defy genetic antagonisms — the so-called curvebenders, which excel in a variety of desirable traits. Their influence has been magnified through

artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer technology. And linebreeding is frequently applied to increase the effect of favorable genes. Unfortunately, sought-after good genes can be accompanied by recessive genes that are both bad and ugly. University of Nebraska geneticist Matt Spangler says it’s no longer necessary to eliminate an entire bloodline that might harbor a defect, thereby forfeiting its otherwise valuable contributions to genetic improvement. Through DNA testing for genes associated with defects, individual carriers can be identified. Spangler says producers can then avoid defects by making mating decisions correctly. As a rule of thumb, Spangler advises producers to remember that a mating between a carrier and a non-carrier will not result in offspring that exhibit a recessive gene defect. However, 50% of offspring will be carriers. A mating between two carriers will produce calves that exhibit the defect 25% of the time. Fifty percent of the time, offspring of two carrier parents will also be carriers but will not exhibit the defect. And 25% of all offspring produced by mating carriers will exhibit neither the defect nor carry the recessive gene. “If you know you have carrier cows, obviously you’re well advised not to breed them to carrier bulls,” says Spangler. The expression of a specific recessive defect can be avoided, he adds, by always using non-carrier bulls. As a first step in managing genetic defects, Spangler advises seedstock producers to determine the status

Genetics — Collecting DNA
Avoid Mistakes When Collecting DNA Samples by Troy Smith
Y
ou’ve heard plenty about DNA testing. You know DNA tests can be applied commercially to determine parentage and to manage genetic defects in cattle. You know that analysis of an animal’s DNA can determine the presence of gene markers associated with specific performance or carcass traits. You also know DNA genotyping has advanced to where testing can reveal an animal’s DNA profile — a summary of genetic influences on a variety of economically important traits. And now you’re ready to apply this rapidly advancing technology to your operation. Well, don’t waste your time. Don’t bother with collecting hair, blood, tissue or semen samples for DNA analysis. Don’t do it, if you’re not going to do it right. Sloppy sampling results in erroneous test results and misleading information, or no information at all.
“We’ve got to slow down and do it right. All of it.” — Robert Weaber
If you’re serious about making DNA technology work to your advantage, avoid the all too common mistakes associated with collection, storage and shipment of DNA samples. They most often occur when people get in a hurry, so University of Missouri beef cattle geneticist Robert Weaber’s advice is to “slow down.” And, before you do anything else, make sure you know what kind of sample is required for the DNA test(s) you seek. Weaber also says sample requirements vary among laboratories providing genotyping services.
It’s the roots that the lab really needs. That bulb on the end of each hair contains a significant amount of DNA. And bigger is better, so coarse hair from the tail switch usually works well.
“Certainly, DNA can be obtained from blood or tissue samples, or from semen, but a laboratory may require a certain type of sample, depending on the kind of technology it uses. Certain sample types just work better for certain tests,” says Weaber, noting that automated DNA isolation systems are designed for specific sample types. “The number of tests to be performed may influence how much DNA a lab needs and the type of sample required,” Weaber adds. “For example, two milliliters of blood will yield more DNA than a piece of skin.” Maxxam Analytics is the laboratory approved by the American Hereford Association (AHA) for DNA testing to determine parentage. Maxxam also performs tests for genetic defects including idiopathic epilepsy, dilutor gene and hypotrichosis. The laboratory, located in Guelph, Ontario, accepts a variety of sample materials for DNA analysis, including semen, blood and tissue, but the majority of tests are performed on hair samples. The reason could be that producers consider hair easier to collect and submit.
Hair collection However, according to Weaber, a common mistake occurs when hair samples are submitted with no roots attached. It’s the roots that the lab really needs. That bulb on the end of each hair contains a significant amount of DNA. And bigger is better, so coarse hair from the tail switch usually works well. Tracking Technology

The hair should be dry and free of foreign matter, so brushing out the switch prior to collection is recommended. For an adequate sample, producers are advised to pull 20 to 25 hairs, making sure the roots are attached. When collecting hair root samples from a young calf whose hair is fine with small roots, it’s generally recommended to include 30 to 40 hair roots.
Blood-spot cards Blood-spot or FTA® cards are another frequently used method of submitting DNA samples. Inside each folded card, which resembles a matchbook, is a circle to which a few drops of blood are applied. The blood can be transferred from a needle-prick to the animal’s ear or from blood drawn into a sterile syringe. The common mistake, says Weaber, is closing the card before the blood spot is dry. The blood
Hereford testing procedures
Hereford breeders wanting to get a female donor dam permitted or a sire permitted for artificial insemination (AI) use must have the animal DNA tested. Producers can also use DNA testing to parentage verify an animal before registering when the sire of the animal is in question. Maxxam Analytics is the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) official DNA lab. All animals that are tested through the lab will also be tested for genetic abnormalities. The cost for DNA testing for less than 50 samples submitted at one time is $32/head for hair or $37/head for semen, blood or tissue. If a breeder submits more than 50 samples at one time, the fee is $19/head. Here are the steps for each of the processes:
Permitting donor dams • Call the AHA office, 816-842-3757, to request a DNA test kit. You will need the animal’s registration number.
• AHA will send the producer a DNA Genetic Marker Test
• If a breeder wants to get an animal tested for a genetic abnormality, he can follow the same steps as those for permitting a donor dam. For more information about DNA testing procedures for Hereford breeders, call the AHA at 816-842-3757 and ask for Beverly Kincaid. HW
Instructions for obtaining hair samples
Permitting AI sires • Call the AHA office, 816-842-3757, to request a DNA test kit. You will need the animal’s registration number. AHA will determine if the bull’s parents have been tested and are on file. If the bull’s sire and dam have not been tested, the breeder will need to collect and submit those samples as well.
• AHA will send the producer a DNA Genetic Marker Test form. The form has a bar code specific to the animal. Producers cannot alter the form for another animal.
• Collect the sample and submit it to Maxxam (see “Instructions for obtaining hair samples”).
www.hereford.org
• Pull hair samples above the tail switch. Do not cut the hair. The hair root contains the material needed for DNA testing.
• Pull 20-25 hairs evenly and directly from the tail so the hair does not break. The switch must be dry and brushed clean of all debris. The lab suggests wrapping the hair around a pencil and then pulling.
• Place the hair in a straight line across the center of the form from the AHA for DNA testing. Keep the hair together with the roots to the left as noted on the form. Do not curl hair. Attach the center hair shafts to the form with tape.
• Collect the sample and submit it to Maxxam (see “Instructions for obtaining hair samples”).

sample should be allowed to airdry, completely, before re-closing the card. Otherwise microbial growth can get started, and those microbes secrete enzymes which degrade DNA. The same thing can happen if too much blood is applied to the card, making it soggy and slow to dry. Additionally, there may be a greater risk of cross contamination between blood-sodden cards
• Fold the form as you would a business letter. Each sample has an individual envelope for mailing. If you have several to mail, put each sample in its individual envelope and then mail all the envelopes in one big envelope to save on postage. The address is located on the bottom of the form.
Note: It is important to only include hair from one animal in each kit. The lab cannot detect cross contamination of samples. The same form can be used for semen straw samples. Semen does not have to be frozen. Put the semen straw in a ballpoint pen casing, capped and taped on the form where it indicates to put the hair shafts. This procedure prevents the semen straw from breaking while being mailed. HW

packaged together for shipment to the lab. Some blood-spot collection kits provide a needle for pricking the animal’s ear. Instructions call for pressing the collection card against the wound to collect the blood sample. Weaber says getting blood on the card might be easy enough, but confining it to that little circle can be pretty challenging. “I prefer to use a two milliliter syringe to draw a little blood to place on the card, right where you want it,” says Weaber. “But always use a new sterile syringe and needle for each animal to avoid cross-contamination of samples. Clean hands and clean instruments are really important when collecting any kind of sample.”
Whole blood tips When collecting a quantity of whole blood, each sample must be drawn into a “purple-top” collection tube. These tubes contain EDTA — an anticoagulant and preservative. If the wrong type of collection tube is used, the blood sample is likely to coagulate by the time it reaches the lab, preventing separation of DNA. Instructions for drawing blood from the jugular vein (neck) or the underside of the tail are available from laboratories that require whole blood samples or through Cooperative Extension Web sites. “Don’t forget,” warns Weaber, “to invert the tube several times after collecting the blood sample to mix it with the anticoagulant.” An advantage shared by bloodspot cards and hair root samples is ease of shipping. No refrigeration is needed, but most laboratories recommend shipping samples within 48 hours of collection. Shipping whole blood is more tricky. Some labs call for blood to be packed with dry ice or “blue gel,” but Weaber recommends shipping whole blood on wet ice for “next day” delivery. “And don’t ship on a Friday, or your samples may not be delivered
“Don’t forget to invert the tube several times after collecting the blood sample to mix it with the anticoagulant.” — Robert Weaber
until Monday. Shipping on Monday or Tuesday is best for midweek delivery,” Weaber adds.
Punching it out Tissue sample collection involves removal of a small skin sample. Pig ear-notchers have often been used to collect a sample from the animal’s ear. Now available commercially are tissue-punch collection devices, which resemble ear tags used for identification purposes. When

these are used properly, a bit of ear tissue is collected and sealed within a “tissue tag” bearing its own identification number and barcode. There is a cost involved with the tag-type sampler and its applicator, but some producers prefer the convenience of this sample collection method. However, labs have reported the occasional receipt of tissue tags with no tissue inside — probably because the person didn’t make sure the device went through the animal’s ear. And another thing: since the ink can interfere with DNA tests, collecting a tissue sample from a tattooed portion of an ear should be avoided.
Semen precautions When you submit semen for DNA analysis, most laboratories request a straw of thawed semen. Use a proper shipping container to protect the straw against breakage. Before you package the semen for shipment, Weaber suggests placing the semen container inside an inexpensive pen (like a Bic® pen) whose ink cartridge has been removed. Or, the semen straw can be placed between two pieces of stiff cardboard before packaging for shipment. According to Weaber, refrigeration is not necessary and semen may be sent via regular mail. Of all the mistakes made when collecting samples for DNA testing, Weaber believes the most common is data entry error in the field. Samples are mixed up and mislabeled. Numbers are transposed. A sample from a young calf is labeled with the dam’s number. Any number of things can and will happen because of human error. At the end of the day, expert technique in sample collection doesn’t count for much when the paperwork is a mess. “We’ve got to slow down and do it right,” states Weaber. “All of it.” HW

Genetics — HCR EPDs
AHA Releases Heifer Calving Rate EPDs by Dan Moser
A
s part of a research project conducted by Kansas State University, the American Hereford Association (AHA) has released its first heifer calving rate (HCR) expected progeny differences (EPDs). Using Whole Herd TPR data submitted by AHA members since 2001, these values show genetic differences in Hereford sires for the likelihood of their daughters to calve as heifers. A list of sires and HCR EPDs is available on the AHA Web site, Hereford.org. While AHA and other beef breed associations have produced growth and carcass trait genetic evaluations for many years, HCR represents one of the first evaluations for reproductive traits. Studies have shown that reproduction traits like calving rate are some of the most economically important to commercial cow-calf operations. Yet, because collecting large amounts of data on reproductive traits is more difficult and because these traits tend to be less heritable, they have been the last to be incorporated into genetic evaluation programs. The AHA HCR evaluation is made possible by Hereford breeders’ participation in Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™), a program where producers report the reproductive status of every female every year. These records indicate which heifers are exposed for breeding and which ones produce a calf. By combining these data with pedigree information, EPDs are calculated that allow comparisons of Hereford sires for HCR. The current evaluation is a research prototype and will change somewhat as more data is collected and enhancements are made to the www.hereford.org
so far but could also be due to the high quality of the data that AHA members have submitted. With a higher than expected heritability estimate, Hereford breeders should be able to use the HCR EPD to make significant genetic improvement for this trait. In the current prototype evaluation, HCR EPDs were calculated on 12,714 Hereford sires. Like any genetic evaluation, most of the sires have low levels of accuracy. Of those sires, 534 sires had an accuracy value of 0.30 or above. As more data is collected, more sires will have HCR EPDs and accuracy values will rise.

Future plans are to conduct the evaluation semiannually using an animal model that will provide HCR EPD on all Hereford cattle, male and female.

Genetics — Sexed Semen
Calf Gender Made-to-Order by Troy Smith
Old new technology Midla ranks among the relatively few beef cattle breeders using sexed semen. It’s still considered a new technology, but the first genderselected calf was produced through AI more than a decade ago. With
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). In mammals 3.8% more DNA is contained within the X chromosome, and that difference is detectable through cytometric analysis. Put plainly, this sperm-sorting technology allows for routine production of semen with 90% purity for a specific sex. Practical application grew most rapidly within the dairy industry, due to its already extensive use of AI and the obvious advantage gained through selection for predominately heifer calves. Generally, sexed semen has delivered on its promise that a minimum of 90% of resulting calves will be of the chosen gender. Adoption by the beef industry has come more slowly, embraced mostly by seedstock breeders. Some, like Midla, have used sexed semen to maximize production of replacement-quality heifers. Other breeders, wanting to target a market for breeding bulls, use sexed semen to increase the percentage of male calves born. Photo by Mallory Phelps
F
lat Stone Lick, a Hereford operation located near Marianna, Pa., sells only a handful of select bulls each year. According to owner Les Midla, there is far more demand for females. If Midla could choose, a majority of calves born to the herd would be heifers. He is choosing, actually, through artificial insemination (AI) with sexed semen. “We don’t have a big market for bulls here in the East, but we can sell females. We also turn our genetics over rapidly, replacing cows by the time they are 6 years old,” Midla explains. “So we like having the ability to breed for heifer calves. And we don’t have to breed as many females to produce a group of heifers.”

In the laboratory, X- and Y-bearing sperm can be distinguished according to their respective content of

ET use Controlling gender is advantageous when producing embryos from select females too. That’s why Thedford, Neb., breeder Jason Hoffman introduced sexed semen to an embryo transfer (ET) program concentrating on production of both show heifers and replacement females. The results were somewhat disappointing. “Our success rate has been about half that of conventional semen,”
Tracking Technology

explains Hoffman. “I still think it’s a promising tool but maybe not with ET. Sexed semen is a little more expensive, and it’s hard to get for some sires, but that could change.”
Too soon to tell Midla has used sexed semen to inseminate both heifers and cows, following estrus synchronization. His results have been mixed. However, Midla is accustomed to some yearly variation in conception rates following use of conventional semen too. His is a forage-fed herd, and results from AI depend on the nutritional status of females. “The jury is still out,” says Midla, when asked how conception rates with sexed semen compare with conventional semen. “But we’re going to stick with it to find out.” The use of sexed semen, commercially, is still new enough that few breeders have yet to collect much data on conception rates. Research trials suggest conception rates following AI with sexed semen will be about 85% of those achieved with conventional semen. Therefore, a producer accustomed to 70% conception rates should realize a 60% conception rate with sexed semen. Some research suggests insemination of lactating cows with sexed sperm results in pregnancy rates lower than those achieved with virgin heifers. Too few data are available for valid conclusions, but lower pregnancy rates in cows may be due in part to uterine involution, lactation and higher nutritional needs which occur during the time cows are inseminated. More bullto-bull variation also may exist in pregnancy rate with sexed sperm in cows than in heifers. Just as sperm from some bulls have higher tolerances for freezing and thawing, tolerances for sorting sperm may vary among sires. Fertilizing potential of sorted sperm from average fertility bulls may approach maximum levels if increasing sperm dosage can

“I think we’re going to see more replacement heifers bred AI, to have predominately heifer calves. It means more calving ease and about 3% greater calf livability when a first-calf heifer has a heifer baby.” — Willie Altenburg compensate for lower fertility, but low-dose insemination of sorted sperm from low fertility bulls likely will result in unacceptably low pregnancy rates.
At what cost? Sexed semen costs a little more than regular frozen semen — often $15 to $25 per straw more than conventional frozen semen. It does, after all, undergo an additional specialized process. No doubt, the higher cost has been an obstacle to some producers. That could change as “pioneer” producers build banks of favorable data. Another incentive may be the newer “75%” sexed semen. This product promises that a minimum of 75% of resulting calves will be of the chosen gender. Less expensive than “90%” sexed semen, the newer product is usually priced $5 to $10 higher than conventional semen, depending on the individual sire. Marketers say producers should expect no difference in conception rate between 90% or 75% sexed semen. Currently, Genex Cooperative Inc. is the only firm through which both 90% and 75% products are commercially available. Genex
Beef Marketing Manager Willie Altenburg says the 75% product holds appeal for commercial cowcalf producers. Some commercial cattlemen using Hereford genetics seem particularly interested in using sexed semen to produce black and red baldies. “I think we’re going to see more replacement heifers bred AI, to have predominately heifer calves. It means more calving ease and about 3% greater calf livability when a first-calf heifer has a heifer baby. But producers trying to advance genetics quickly can also retain more replacements out of heifers,” says Altenburg. Eventually, commercial cattlemen may use sexed semen to enhance their crossbreeding programs by breeding their best cows to maternal sires (to raise replacement females) and raising steers out of their other cows bred to terminal sires. “When you choose to have 75% of the AI-sired calves be heifers, you can reduce the number of females that need to be bred to produce replacements. The mature cows can be bred with ‘male semen’ to produce steers, using a terminal sire to target growth and feedlot performance,” Altenburg adds. Sexed semen is a promising reproductive management tool, but producers need to remember that it has its limitations. There are fewer sperm cells packaged in an individual straw and fertility is slightly compromised. Marketers advise producers to use their very best AI procedures, including heat detection. Females can be synchronized prior to AI, but only protocols that incorporate heat detection are recommended. Altenburg says sexed semen is not recommended for use with protocols for timed AI or for embryo production. HW

ith the purchase of 20 Hereford cow-calf pairs in 1970, Kaczmarek Cattle was organized. In 1971, we purchased our first registered Herefords. For the past 40 years Kaczmarek Cattle have worked to improve our herd while maintaining exceptional genetics influenced by GK Sportsman 41Y, Enforcer 107H, GK Golden Express, Klondike 707B, 15D and DL Victor 243 62A. Recognition for Kaczmarek Cattle include: Western International Intermediate Champion (4K KFF Kazz), Missouri State Champion (4K Sport Rule B11 F77) and American Royal Junior Heifer Champion (4K Sport Lady). Presently, we are in the process of perfecting the development of our F1 herd. Our sons, Joe and Tony, are currently managing the development of the registered Hereford herd. Over the past two years Joe and Tony have acquired some of the most dynamic seedstock bloodlines in the Hereford industry. We would like to thank K & B Herefords, Loewen Herefords, Rausch Herefords and Thorstenson Herefords for sharing their bloodlines.

n 1981, we purchased our first Hereford cattle. Through a lot of hard work and determination, we are excited about our approaching 28th consecutive production sale on May 28th, 2011. We’ve bred several champions in the showring and shown several champions. Like every ranch, we’ve had our good days and our bad days. We’ve been able to exist through droughts and rainy times, like this past spring. The love of the cattle and the excitement that they bring to our hearts keeps us looking with optimism toward the future. So far it’s been like a true to life movie representing what the Hereford business is all about; happy times, sad times, including facing adversity and somehow with God’s help, pulling through. Our plans are pretty simple, to consistently have good production sales plus good private treaty bull sales and treat our customers like we would like to be treated. We truly appreciate everyone who has ever supported our ranch. With every year we strive to challenge ourselves. This being Randa’s last year to show at Junior Nationals, we have decided to start out on a journey with new exciting opportunities and incentives for juniors in the future. We are hoping “Our DREAMS become your REALITY.” The ranch adjoins Little River Canyon Preserve located on scenic, historic Lookout Mountain, Alabama. It’s a great place to come spend a week just being a tourist. The Dixieland Delight sales include music and food Friday evening before the sale, and a very patriotic pre-sale to celebrate Memorial Day weekend in tribute to our military and our great country. We are family oriented and encourage families to attend. We are handing the torch off to Randa to pursue her dreams and her goals, and Kelly and I, and Randa’s brother and sister, are in full support in mind, body and spirit. Please check out our Web site. Call us anytime to set up an appointment to view the cattle. We are always here for you, so contact us if there is anything we can do for you! Thanks and God Bless, Randy Owen

Serene Scenes Artist C.J. Brown believes she was meant to paint cattle. by Kindra Gordon
her watercolor works. From Hereford cattle in lush green pastures to barns and rural landscapes, Brown has dubbed herself a “cow painter.” Here, she shares her journey to becoming an artist.
Thanks dad
M
Most everyone who admires cattle has experienced some “picture perfect” moments — those memorable cattle scenes worthy of being preserved in a painting. Fortunately for the cattle industry, artist C.J. Brown has captured many of those serene, pastoral scenes in
Brown credits her father — an Illinois Angus and Simmental producer — for instilling in her an interest in both art and cattle. “My parents said I’d draw and paint all the time when I was young,” says Brown. She tells that her dad remodeled several farmhouses and she’d entertain herself by drawing pictures on the wood. But it wasn’t until she was a junior in high school that Brown finally had the opportunity to take a “real” art class. She found a natural fit. When it came time for college, Brown debated between studying journalism or art, but she says, “The art won out.” She received an art degree from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa.
As she established her career as an artist, Brown focused on painting wildlife and rural scenery. But in 2002 some personal changes in her life caused Brown to reflect and rethink her own goals. Brown says, “I had always wanted to do a cattle print and had done some cattle illustrations for a magazine but never a print which I would market.” Thus, for a change of pace, she decided to paint a scene of the pasture at Woodlawn Angus Farm at Creston, Ill., near her family’s farm. She tells that the owners were old family friends and her dad had purchased his first Angus heifer from them in 1948. Brown titled her first cattle print “Grazing in the Grove,” and it was very well received by the cattle community. In fact, today it is sold out. For Brown, the admiration of the piece by others was the inspiration she needed at a difficult time in her life. She says, “My life was going through a dark period, but when ‘Grazing in the Grove’ came along, God truly showed me that when doors are shut, He will open windows. I say He opened a gigantic ‘picture window,’ and from there my painting just took off.”
A cattle calling
“Herefords at White Rock”
180 Hereford World / July 2010
Brown took the success as a sign that she was “meant to paint cattle,” and she refocused her creativity on creating cattle scenes representing many different breeds — including Hereford. “Peaceful Pastures,” “Herefords at White Rock” and “Hereford Winter Haven” are the titles of her current prints featuring the breed.
www.hereford.org
She credits her first job out of college doing mechanical drawings with helping her master the detail in her watercolor prints of cattle today. “Doing the mechanical drawings was not the most inspiring at the time, but it was great training. So I look back and appreciate it.” Asked what she enjoys most about her career as an artist, Brown says it is the many endearing friendships she has made from her “cattle-painting career.” She says, “I enjoy the creative part of designing the piece and the production side, but equally as enjoyable is meeting the cattle people.” Brown’s authentic admiration for those cattle people is often reflected in the pieces she paints — as many of the pieces include a story about the owners of the cattle) and the setting depicted in the scene. “With everything I do there is a story,” she adds. Looking ahead, Brown has many new release prints in the works. She also travels to several of the national cattle shows throughout the year to sell her work. As a result of her busy schedule, she tells that she paints wherever and whenever she can. “I work a lot of late nights, and I do a lot of painting in my hotel room too. It’s a good thing watercolor dries fast,” she jokes. Today, in addition to her painting, she remains involved in a family partnership herd with her dad, brother and son near Lindenwood, Ill. To see works available by C.J. Brown, visit her Web site, www.cjbrownstudios.com. She has recently completed a “cattle log” available on the site, showcasing each of her pieces and offering a bit of history about each one. HW

“Peaceful Pastures”
“

”
“Hereford Winter Haven”
Hereford highlights The inspiration for two of C.J. Brown’s first Hereford paintings came from a neighbor and close family friend Jim Milligan, a longtime Hereford breeder from Rochelle, Ill. “Herefords at White Rock” and “Peaceful Pastures” both depict scenes based on the Milligan’s Illinois farm. “Jim lives just six miles from our farm and has one of the oldest Hereford operations in the country. In this region of Illinois there were Indian wars long ago, and a portion of Jim’s property was once the encampment grounds for Chief Blackhawk,” tells Brown, who likes to revel in the history of the pieces she paints. Brown is busy at work on several new Hereford paintings that she will showcase at the Junior National Hereford Expo July 4-10 in Indianapolis. One piece will feature the Hereford sire Legend, another will feature a Hereford cow with a Legend-sired calf at her side. Brown has also created round art prints (15 in. diameter) in the past for other breeds that have been very popular, and she intends to create a round piece featuring a winter Hereford scene. HW

Destined
Doug Gallier’s Hereford connection goes back centuries. by Sara Gugelmeyer
Alfred, immigrated from Herefordshire, England, to Ohio. He had 10 children and a feud among the children led Doug’s great-grandfather to drop the “s” from the end of the surname, thus the name Doug bears today — “Gallier.”
Modern history
D
Doug Gallier is not unlike many men his age. He retired from a long, successful career and returned to a more rewarding rural lifestyle on a small farm with a few Hereford cows. But there is one thing that sets Doug apart; he is the great-great-great-great-greatgreat-grandson of one of the firstever Hereford breeders. He is the direct descendant of William Galliers (note the “s”— more on that later), who was breeding Hereford cattle in England in the mid-1700s.
Way back when According to early Hereford history, Richard Tompkins was one of the original breeders of Herefords, selecting for traits that would change
184 Hereford World / July 2010
the oxen-type cattle to a form of the beef cattle we know today. It is noted that Benjamin Tompkins, Richard’s son, was a close friend of and often traded and crossbred his cattle with William Galliers, who had developed more of a mottle-face version of red cattle at the time. William Galliers’ herd was located at Wigmore, England, and from 1745 until about 1820, the family’s herd was well known for its quality and consistency, even winning awards at agricultural expositions. In 1795 John Galliers, one of William’s sons, hosted a sale of his cattle, at which buyer’s names and prices were recorded as the first-ever sale of the Hereford breed. At the end of the 19th century, Doug’s William Galliers great-great-grandfather,
Doug’s parents were not farmers, but his maternal grandfather had what Doug calls a typical farm of the 1940s and 50s with a few sheep, a few chickens and a few pigs. He also fed out a few cattle. Doug was raised in Ohio next door to his grandparents’ farm, where he reluctantly worked after school and during the summers of his youth. He showed pigs and Hereford cattle in 4‑H but knew nothing of his rich Hereford heritage. Doug went to college and began a successful career with Dow Chemical. At Dow, Doug worked his way up to global manager for marine and terminal operations, which required a lot of traveling. He and his wife, Nancy, and two sons also relocated often because of Doug’s job, so when he neared retirement, they were ready to settle down somewhere. “I was thinking back and even though I didn’t like being forced to work on my grandpa’s farm when I was younger, I realized that the farm life is rewarding from a personal standpoint,” Doug says. So in 2004 Doug retired, and he and Nancy bought 40 acres in north-central Michigan. Coincidentally, about this time, Doug’s father, Marvin, was researching the Gallier’s family history. “He spent a great deal of www.hereford.org
time tracking down our genealogy. He contacted and received information from distant uncles, and he passed that information on to me and my three sisters. I saw that there was a direct linkage back to William Galliers in Herefordshire, England, who was one of the original breeders of Hereford cattle. I thought I might be predestined to raise Herefords then.”
29F and STAR TRF Battle Chief 356P. “I am constantly working to improve my genetics.” He sells his calves primarily to other seedstock producers and occasionally one of his calves will become a 4‑H steer.
“
His Hereford niche After Doug and Nancy built a home and did some other improvements to their land, they entered into the Hereford business. “I bought three heifer calves from a seedstock breeder in Michigan, and that’s how I started out,” Doug says. Doug’s Hereford herd may be small, about eight cows, but quality is his goal. Local breeders, the Simpkins family of Sugar Sweet Ranch, helped Doug learn about modern cattle management practices and guided him in getting started. “Each year I cull out one or two cows and buy replacement cows to improve my genetics,” he says. He buys sons of proven popular bulls like BR Moler ET, CS Boomer
I saw that there was a direct linkage back to William Galliers in Herefordshire, England, who was one of the original breeders of Hereford cattle. I thought I might be predestined to raise Herefords then.
”
Doug says his Hereford herd has proved as rewarding as he hoped. Nancy, too, enjoys the cows, and she and Doug carefully plan traveling to visit their grandchildren around calving season. Doug says he believes his cow herd would make his great-great-great-great-greatgreat-grandfather William Galliers proud. HW
Doug says he is constantly improving his genetics with rigorous culling and buying top replacements.

During that time, he coached the Cal Poly judging team to many championships and became a widely respected livestock judge himself, www.hereford.org

After 50 years, we are still refining the basics of reproduction: fertility and calving ease. Our goal is still trouble-free cattle. It is amazing how our friends of all breeds will defend their big cows with “We still sell them by the pound”. We’ll always sell more pounds with trouble-free cattle. Ninety percent of our calves are born in September. Come by and see why we are excited. None of our cows are famous but they are all profitable. Danny Miller of JMS Polled Herefords is an hour and a half away. While you are here we’ll visit with him and see his linebred herd.

n every endeavor, the attainment of perfection is the goal. While that desired perfection may not be accomplished, the effort to reach that goal is ever present. Our 15-year-old granddaughter, Sarah, has that goal in mind as she pursues her artistic talents and we at Durham Ranch have the goal of producing Hereford cattle that fit all of the parameters of the industry. The Durham cow herd is strong in the genetic heritage of 29F through STAR Spiridge Boomer 63L with the additional background of noted polled Hereford AI bulls and Nick the Butler. Our current senior herd sire, STAR 5L Booster 187R, continues that potent genetic mix, assisted AI by PCR 286 Mr Advisor 502R.

by Amy Cowan, director of youth activities and foundation
The People Behind the Campaign In March, Chris Stephens and I traveled to Winona, Miss., to celebrate the life of the late Bill Ellard. This was my first visit to EE Ranches in Mississippi, and as I spent the weekend with Bill’s family and closest friends, listening to the many stories, some dating back to Bill’s childhood, it became very evident to me just how important preserving the future and providing opportunity for young leaders was to Bill. We spent some time going through scrapbooks from the All American Hereford Expo that EE Ranches hosted in 1988 — what a tremendous outpouring of Southern hospitality was extended by Bill and Jo to hundreds of Hereford youth and their families. Now, more than 20 years later, Hereford youth around the nation are still experiencing an outpouring of generosity from Bill Ellard with the EE Ranches $5,000 scholarships that are presented each fall. I recall another trip Chris and I took to EE Ranches in Texas when the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) was in the initial stages of the $5 Million Capital Endowment Campaign. As we sat around Bill and Jo Ellard’s dining room table, I saw how much passion and vision this couple had for developing the Hereford youth program. The original goal of the campaign was $2 million, but Bill challenged Chris to reach higher and set the goal at $5 million. That conversation set the wheels in motion on the capital campaign, and since then HYFA has seen much growth and success. As we work to reach a $2 million milestone, scholarship giving has increased, and in 2009 a total of $45,750 was awarded to deserving youth who are continuing their educations.
244 Hereford World / July 2010
Bill inspired all people to reach higher, achieve more and be better individuals. “Do the right thing because it is the right thing to do” was one of his famous quotes. Bill was an incredible steward of the blessings God bestowed upon him in life and left the world a better place. Ellard’s legacy is living on through HYFA and will continue to touch the lives of countless youth through the EE Ranches Scholarship. It is because of Bill’s foresight and belief in youth that the future of the Hereford breed is in a better place.
Thank you, Bob and Loyd Joining Jo Ellard on the new HYFA board in 2003 were two gentlemen that had a vested interest in educating youth, developing leadership and encouraging young people to return to production agriculture. Bob Call, Cushing, Okla., and Loyd Whitehead, Ft. McKavett, Texas, led the charge in developing the framework for the capital campaign, and they both were instrumental in setting all the policy and guidelines for the newly formed foundation. Through their generous gifts, we now award the Whitehead Ranches Scholarship and the Bob and Dolores Call Scholarship each fall. Bob was the first president of the newly formed board and the accountant for the group, and Loyd’s keen business savvy guided HYFA to new levels. This spring, Bob and Loyd retired from the board. Saying “thank you” doesn’t seem like quite enough for their years of service and dedication. I enjoyed working with them and so much appreciate their guidance and support.
A glance at the future I recently returned from our 2010 HYFA spring board meeting in
acowan@hereford.org
Michigan. Tim and Nancy Keilty, Cottonwood Springs Farm, Cedar, Mich., hosted the board, and the group truly enjoyed our visit to historic Leland and beautiful Lake Michigan, and the wonderful hospitality of the Keiltys. Nancy is a newcomer to the board, and I appreciate the fresh ideas and perspectives that she brings to the table. There are many exciting things on the horizon for HYFA. Boots and Brew II is being planned for the annual meeting weekend in Kansas City, and we have a very exciting foundation female offering for the 2011 National Western Stock Show. Hoffman Ranch and W4 are assembling an embryo package from their top donor cow lineup. The package will consist of a minimum of 30 embryos and will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to capture elite genetics from Hoffman/W4. HYFA is headed to wine country in September 2011 when Kunde Estate Winery and Jim and Marcia Mickelson and their family host a fundraiser for Hereford youth with some of the breed’s most elite genetics. Eddie and Ruth Sims, National Cattle Services, Elgin, Okla., have been instrumental in making this idea a reality, and you will not want to miss out on this event in Sonoma, Calif. Stay tuned for details in future Hereford World issues and on Hereford.org. Thank you to HYFA President Ray Ramsey, Greenfield, Ind., and the entire HYFA board for your leadership and direction and, most importantly, for your passion and commitment to this program. Thank you to all who have supported and will continue to support the efforts of the HYFA — your gifts truly do keep on giving. HW www.hereford.org

• We have a lot of confidence in bull 735. He has proven himself to be profitable by siring heavy calves, marketable by siring quality females and serviceable by never missing a cow he was exposed to. He was turned out to over 60 head in two 50-day breeding seasons. 735 never missed a cow. That is 100% satisfaction. He is creating cows you are proud to own and market. Our customers are very demanding. 735 will prove to meet their demands for consistency. • Co-owned with Parker Polled Herefords.
