Utilizing Resources + Having Fun = Success Twenty years ago this summer I had the opportunity to take a mini-Dale Carnegie course. It is an experience I’ll never forget. One of my favorite Carnegie quotes is, “People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.” It’s hard to believe this is my eighth herd book. As the saying goes, “Time sure flies when you are having fun.” And I can honestly say I’ve had fun since I joined the Hereford team. The last 12 months have been a real ride — from a record-setting Junior National Hereford Expo to an amazing fall and spring sale season to the continued increased demand for Hereford genetics in the commercial marketplace. It’s a great time to be a Hereford breeder. The next 12 months will be just as exciting with the transition to a new DNA laboratory, which will be the first step to having genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). We’ll also continue to see results from our various research projects that are validating the value of Hereford genetics in real-world commercial settings. So, do your homework (read each issue of the Hereford World and Hereford eNews), continue to produce Hereford cattle that will meet the needs of today’s commercial cattlemen and get ready for some exciting times ahead as a Hereford breeder.
On the road In May I had the chance to make a couple of trips to visit commercial and registered Hereford breeders. My first trip was to California, Oregon and Idaho. Visiting with multiple commercial producers about why they are now incorporating Hereford genetics into their herds was nothing less than exhilarating. At each stop I was thankful for the efforts our members
have made during the last decade to improve our breed and how they have changed Hereford’s perception in the commercial industry. Watch for stories in upcoming Hereford World tabloid issues about why Sierra Ranches, Sloan Enterprises and Likely Livestock have chosen Herefords to add profitability to their herds. I can’t leave out my visit to J.R. Simplot’s two ranches and feedlot. For this Kansas girl, it was a sight to see the 1,500 herd bulls that were getting ready to be turned out on the ZX Ranch and the thousands of heifers that had just been artificially inseminated. I had a chance to see the calves from the calving ease research project (see Page 12) and also to see the heifers that had just been bred to begin the second year of the project. My next trip was to the Southeast. It was green, and the pastures were lush as I visited South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. It was a pleasure to experience Southern Hereford hospitality and to witness how Hereford breeders in that territory are utilizing their resources to be successful.
In this issue As we brainstormed themes for this year’s herd book, we wanted to share stories about our breeders and, specifically, those who have found success in today’s economy by coming up with creative ways to innovatively adapt to utilize resources and add profitability to their farms and ranches. Assistant Editor Sara Gugelmeyer sets the stage for the “More than Hereford” theme on Page 36. We hope you enjoy reading about how some breeders have utilized the resources available to them to remain successful today. HW

A Landmark Time for Hereford Genetics
8
/ July 2012
As I write this column, the American Hereford Association (AHA) is in the middle of a move from our laboratory, Maxxam Analytics, to a new genetic laboratory service provider, GeneSeek, located in Lincoln, Neb. While Maxxam has been a wonderful service provider for the last 11 years, the desire from the AHA Board and demand from membership has been to advance the scientific technology of genomics. This will allow more genetic information to be discovered and commercialized that will better help to predict the outcome of breeding decisions on the farm and ranch. The new platform of technology has a long name — single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP for short (sounds like snip). SNPs are the billions of base pairs within DNA that determine the code of life within every species. DNA is a doublestranded, twisted ladder or helix in structure that is wadded up and folded upon itself within the chromosomes of every cell. At the rung of each step of the DNA ladder, there are SNPs. These rungs (or SNPs) are what scientists in the genomics field have spent billions of dollars studying to determine the sequence of SNPs or specifically the SNPs that make up the genes or are at least related to the genes that control the production of proteins and enzymes.
Proteins and enzymes are what control or influence various living functions like growth, metabolism, efficiency of feed use, fat deposition, fertility and health. What is most important to us is how SNPs affect economically relevant traits (ERTs) such as calving ease, growth, carcass quality, pregnancy retention and fertility, feed conversion, or disease resistance. The cost of the technology has become amazingly affordable the last couple of years, and it is expected to get even less expensive as use of the technology increases. The medical field has invested billions of dollars in human research to discover genes that cause various diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and countless genetic abnormalities. Because of the massive investment in this technology over the last 35 years in the human field, advancement in the science has trickled down to the plant and livestock world. Each year the technology becomes more and more affordable, and the computer power to analyze findings becomes more robust and effective.
Whole genome sequencing In the ’90s, $3 billion was spent on the human genome project. The first whole genome scan of a beef cow happened to be from a Miles City Line 1 Hereford cow, L1 Dominette 01449. The six-year bovine genome project involving 01449 was
conducted by Baylor College of Medicine and completed in 2008 at a whopping cost of $53 million. To put this progress and cost reduction into perspective, this year the AHA will whole genome map six highly proven Hereford sires for the purpose of longterm gene discovery. The cost for these genome scans, which bull owners have graciously agreed to invest in, is approximately $3,000 per head and will deliver as much or more information as the original bovine genome project involving 01449.
Why GeneSeek There are four key reasons why the AHA is moving to the GeneSeek laboratory: 1) The cost of the new platform has become affordable at GeneSeek. 2) AHA is converting from microsatellite to SNP technology for parent verification, genetic abnormality identification and long-term genetic discovery to assist with the enhancement of the national cattle evaluation. 3) GeneSeek has had a very strong research relationship with several land grant universities, and by conducting all of our genotyping work at GeneSeek, the AHA will continue to work with researchers in the area of genomic discovery. continued on page 10...

ost of us have traveled through some American town and seen a sign expressing this idea. It is also true of the Hereford cattle community. While one “bad apple” breeder may cause untold damage to the breed, most cattlemen are GREAT people. This year, we want to honor one of Hereford’s best - Dr. G. T. Easley, DVM. Dr. Easley was a dear friend and a man of integrity who departed this life in 2011 at age 95. We purchased bulls from him in the early 1970s and now reside on his former ranch so we speak from experience. Doc became the “Father of Cattle Artificial Insemination” while working for Oklahoma Governor Roy Turner at Turner Ranch which made Hazford Rupert 81 to become the first bull in history to produce over $1,000,000 worth of offspring. He later exceeded that figure with TR Zato Heir. Doc shared with us that he planned to purchase an ad in the 2011 Herd Bull Edition just to thank Hereford friends for their kindness to him but his death prevented it from happening. Therefore, we are expressing it for him and following his example. We want to share our thanks to some fine Hereford friends and tell why they are such great people. Last year the southern Plains experienced the worst drought in recorded history. Our thanks to Jack Moss and Stacy Gandy of Mississippi who have not only purchased bulls and heifers from us but called and offered us their Mississippi hay FREE just to help us out. Thanks to Barry Woolard of Washington, Steve Pollestad of North Dakota and Thomas Green of Oklahoma for sharing their interest in Hazlett cattle with us. Mr. Woolard is setting up a special section at his own expense in the
For performance-tested Hazlett-Turner Ranch bloodlines Arbuckle Historical Museum of Sulphur, Oklahoma, highlighting Hazlett cattle and the Turner Ranch for cattlemen and visitors to enjoy. Thanks to repeat bull buyers Jim Williams and manager Billy Conn of Madill, Oklahoma, for purchasing our entire crop of 2012 yearling bulls. Thanks also to John Chastain of Wetumka, Oklahoma, who returns year after year for bulls to go on his commercial herd. Thanks to Dennis and Marilyn Baeyens of Oden, Arkansas, for their repeat heifer buying. This list could go on and on - THANKS to ALL buyers who keep us in business!! Thanks even for inquiries. Several have been amazed at how reasonable we price bulls but we want you to stay in business so that you will return. Mike Friend of Bowring, Oklahoma, from whom we began our cow herd, paid $10,000 at Turner Ranch in the 1950s for TR Zato Heir 273 whom he nicknamed “Marilyn Monroe.” Later he paid only $1,500 for TR Zato Heir 370. He told us that 370 did him 10 times more good as a breeding bull than 273. Maybe some just like to brag about the enormous price they pay for a bull but it does not guarantee he sires calves that are that much better. Thanks also to those who just call or write to express your ideas. We enjoy hearing from you. We will share what an Indiana breeder wrote us about an ad a few years ago. He said, “Many follow the Golden Rule - Them with the Gold Rule!” Anyway, thanks just for reading our gleanings. Whether you agree or disagree, at least thinking and examining experiences should make us all better cattlemen. The Psalmist long ago wrote that the cattle of a thousand hills are the Lord’s and we are most thankful to Him!

2) Bovine 50k: This is the 50k panel that will help the AHA continue its work of genome discovery in order to continue to find SNP markers that will enhance the accuracy of Hereford EPDs (expected progeny differences). The 50k results from each animal will be blended with the animal’s current EPDs to enhance its EPDs as well as accuracies for young animals. — $85 per sample 3) Bovine 50k plus basic: This is a 50k SNP research panel that includes parentage, tenderness and genetic abnormalities. This panel will help the AHA continue its work of genome discovery in order to continue to find SNP markers that will enhance the accuracy of Hereford EPDs. The 50k results from each animal will be blended with its current EPDs to enhance its EPDs as well as accuracies for young animals. — $100 per sample 4) Horned/polled test (standalone test): This test identifies homozygous or heterozygous polled genotypes. It does not identify the scur genes. — $48 per sample As an organization and as an industry, we are embarking on a new frontier in animal breeding and selection. The prospects of this new technology are overwhelmingly exciting when you think about the amount of information that the AHA will be capable of discovering over the next several years under the collaborative partnerships with several universities and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Making more informed selection decisions, reducing the generation time of the breed by using younger animals with more proven EPDs and attacking those traits that are hard to measure will all be benefits from this exciting new technology.

Research Projects Continue to Document Value of Hereford Genetics We have seen another incredible sale season and increased demand for good, well-documented Hereford genetics. As many of you know, the American Hereford Association (AHA) has spent a great deal of resources documenting the value of Hereford genetics in real world commercial settings through various research projects and young sire tests.
Circle A Ranch Table 1 shows results of the 2010-born calves from Circle A Ranch. We are still working on the feed
efficiency report, but this table does give a breakdown of performance through the various stages of production. At Circle A, the test is a bit different from some of the other tests because Hereford breeders supplied bulls for natural service after artificial insemination (AI). In addition to the steer performance, the heifer mates have been sold through Circle A Ranch’s spring sale as bred heifers. According to Circle A staff, the demand for the females has been very strong and, again, the pregnancy rate has been

Simplot Ranch project The AHA has also entered into another long-term research project with J.R. Simplot Co. with ranches in four western states. The project was set up to see how Hereford bulls would perform when bred to predominately black heifers. In addition to the usual performance collection, we plan to look at longevity and fertility on the crossbred females. To date, Simplot has collected birth weight (BW) and calving ease (CE) scores and a calf vigor score (see Table 2). The calf vigor score is one that looks at how long it takes a calf to get up and start nursing or if it needed assistance. Table 3 shows results from the first calf crop born at Simplot. This spring the second set of heifers was AI-bred to continue the long-term project with Simplot.
Genomics In addition to these research projects, the AHA keeps moving forward in the area of genomics. In this issue you

This change will allow the AHA to provide more services including 50k genomic assisted information for expected progeny differences (EPDs) and testing for horned/polled and for tenderness. The procedures for how to order a DNA kit and how to submit samples will be very similar to how they are handled today. Hair will still be used and kits will look basically the same. You will find information on costs and opportunities on Page 104.

A Board recommended staff share this opportunity with Texas state leadership in order to encourage local leadership to evaluate the opportunity and that the AHA develop a set of standards for a pre‑test health program, along with breeding and structural soundness for a bull test.
The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met for their annual spring meeting in Kansas City, Mo., April 14. The following are highlights of the meeting:
Nominating committee President David Breiner submitted the proposed nominating committee. The board approved the committee, including: Terri Barber, chairman, Austin, Texas; David Burns, Pikeville, Tenn.; Steve Douthit, St. Francis, Kan.; Bob Harrell, Baker City, Ore.; and Joe Van Newkirk, Oshkosh, Neb.
Breed improvement committee DNA work will be transferred from Maxxam Analytics to GeneSeek by the end of June. AHA members will have two different testing options. The first will be the basic parentage and abnormality test. The other test will be a 50K SNP panel to build the database for ongoing discovery and to work molecular breeding values into the genetic evaluation. The cost for the basic test for bulk rate and individual rate will be $20 and $30 per head, respectively. The 50K panel will be priced at $85 while the “works” including parentage and abnormality testing as well as the 50K panel will be priced at $100. (See Page 106 for information about GeneSeek and watch for updates on the switch to GeneSeek in Hereford eNews.) The process of integrating genomic data into the genetic evaluation continues. Staff hopes to have the interim genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (EPDs) ready to release this summer. It was reported that DNA on six prominent bulls has been sent to Dorrian Garrick at Iowa State for a whole genome scan. Eight bulls will be tested in the Simplot research project this year. Staff members are still waiting on the birth data from year one of the project. Preliminary data indicates that the Hereford bulls used on black heifers last year were comparable in calving ease to low birth weight Angus bulls. (See Page 12 for data received after the meeting) The Board voted to amend rule No. 6: NON-REGISTERED ANIMALS: The Association may collect and maintain DNA profiles on animals other than
20
/ July 2012
registered animals. The Association may, from time to time, compare the DNA profiles of registered animals and the DNA profiles of animals with respect to which applications for registration have been submitted with the DNA profiles of non-registered animals. The Association may deny registration to, or revoke the registration of, any animal based on this comparison.
Marketing committee The marketing committee discussed several marketing initiatives, including: 1) The opportunity to develop a Kazakhstan export marketing cooperative program. Staff has been approached by the Kazakhstan government and representatives from a firm involved with John Deere to establish guidelines, trade relationships, a Hereford association office in Kazakhstan, and an exchange student program for the purpose of developing a long-term sustainable seedstock industry for Kazakhstan. The Board endorsed the further pursuit of prospective opportunities with the interested parties. 2) BuyHereford.com has generated more than $380,000 in sales this fiscal year, nearly doubling last year’s sales. The mandatory minimum bid requirement has made the system much more agreeable to buyers because they know what it will take to own the lot. 3) A new AHA advertising campaign is in developmental stages. Staff is evaluating a placement plan that will include a multi-page insert along with half, quarter and full page ads. 4) The board discussed the opportunity to develop a Texas Bull Test Station at PX Feeders in Evant. Several breeders have used the feedlot for bull development and bull marketing opportunities and the lot owner is interested in establishing an organized bull development and marketing program. The
Member service committee The Board was updated about the records department, including systems review and new technology development. The Association is working with a systems engineer to evaluate and improve the data flow system in the office. The average turnaround time for mailed in work once it reaches the office is approximately six and a half days throughout the year. If an average postal time for work sent by a breeder and received in the office is three days, then an additional six days can be added to the average turnaround time making average work take 12.5 days from start to finish. If there are requests for information (RFI) reports generated from errors or holds for information (yellow sheets), then work time for a group can be at least double that time frame if staff relies on the mailed report to recover the missing data. For current electronic submittal, the average turn time is three and a quarter days. Other records department statistics:
• 3,300 memberships are processed or renewed annually.
• Peak memberships processed per week or day occurs during the member service fee renewal in the fall.
• Peak animal registrations processed per week or day is from May 15 to Aug. 31.
• Typical number of member transactions per work order are five to 10.
• Typically, an estimated 35 credit card slips are processed per day.
• Typically, an estimated 80 envelopes are in-processed per day.
• Typically, an estimated 125-150 envelopes are out-processed per day. continued on page 22...

• Typically, an estimated average of 80 phone calls per day are received by customer service from members.
The committee discussed the format of the National Hereford Sale at the National Western Stock Show. Staff was directed to investigate the possibility of a new location for the sale and also pursue the prospects of a second sale event in Denver that would feature semen and embryos. The Board passed the following motions related to shows: 1) AHA may collect DNA samples from any Hereford show animal (bull, female or steer) from any show at any time for purposes of validating the pedigree.
Fiscal year-to-date income for Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC is $140,000. Two new employees have been hired to serve as territory managers. Danielle Starr and Jill Johnson will be starting in May after they graduate from their respective colleges. It was reported that Greater Omaha Packing Co. is becoming more aggressive, attaining an 80% certification rate. Better carcass utilization has led to a projected 33,000 more cattle going through the program by fiscal year end.
Youth, Foundation report Amy Cowan, AHA youth and foundation director, reported on the various activities planned for the 2012 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Grand Island, Neb., July 2-8. This year there will be Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) Foundation Club. For a $100 contribution, club members can visit the hospitality suite and watch the JNHE while enjoying light snacks and drinks. In addition, there will be a golf tournament to raise money for HYFA. Cowan reported HYFA is getting very close to the $2 million mark at $1.89 million. The Foundation has approved the hiring of a grant writer to pursue money for the youth program, support the JNHE and the Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention. This year PRIDE Convention will be headquartered at Michigan State University, July 30 to Aug. 2. Bailey Clanton, a recent Kansas State University graduate, will be the youth program intern this summer. In addition, Cowan will be choosing four youth to serve as ambassadors during the JNHE. HW

I learned what I can do to make a difference and how my voice can be heard. I learned that it is not all fun and games and that there is a time and place to be serious. As an NJHA director, I realized that I can be an outgoing person. When I ran for the board, I was a nervous, shy young man. Ever since then, I have developed and grown out of my shy stage. I have enjoyed meeting some of the nicest people/breeders in the industry and learning about their operations. Learning about how others manage and care for their Herefords and how they have been able to grow their herds and enjoy raising their cattle as a family operation is truly something I have valued as an NJHA director. There’s no doubt, if I had the chance to go back in time, I would choose to do it all again. — Kevin Ernst

More Than HEREFORD Mule deer bucks like this one on the Kansas ranch have helped make our hunting business, Sagebrush Hunts LLC, successful.
Innovatively Adapting Innovative ideas to utilize resources add profitability and fun to ranching lifestyle. by Sara Gugelmeyer
Beef production is a tough business to crack into. Even those whose parents, grandparents, even great-grandparents were ranchers find it difficult to make a life on the ranch. That’s the challenge my husband, Jeremy, and I were faced with about six years ago when we decided to give it a go. Like many featured in this issue, we knew we would have to adapt and find a way to bring in more income off the land in order to stay on it. We consider ourselves very blessed. Jeremy’s family already owned some land and graciously gave us the opportunity to lease a ranch in the Texas panhandle for cattle grazing. It’s a decent-sized ranch with good grass and good water, so we would be all set, right? Fifty years ago, maybe. But, in
36
/ July 2012
today’s economy, it’s just not quite big enough to keep us comfortable during good years, and too many dry years could make staying financially secure impossible. That’s all right; we could just get jobs in town. The ranch is about 45 miles from three different towns, but all have lagging economies and populations under 7,500 people. Opportunities for a town job that would provide enough income to make it worth driving all that way every day are slim to none. And we’re not really town-job kind of people, so we took a hard look at what else we could do.
Other income opportunities Jeremy is an avid hunter. In fact, he’d already been doing a little guiding for deer hunts on his parents’ ranch in
Kansas. So, with a lot of research, hard work and determination, we decided to give the outfitting business a go. The next challenge was that there’s just not a whole lot of anything to hunt on our Texas panhandle ranch. All the traits that make it good for cattle grazing — flat terrain, productive soil and very little brush — make it hard for many deer to call it home. But antelope are plentiful, and although Jeremy had never hunted an antelope in his life, we saw an opportunity there. We knew his parents’ ranch in Kansas had plenty of highly sought-after mule deer and quality whitetail deer and made the decision that it was worth trying to expand that hunting potential as well. Also, on the Kansas ranch are bobwhite and blue quail and pheasant. We felt that was our opportunity. Hereford.org
We wanted to make Now, the challenge came with Woolfolk (Page 62), we weren’t going location. Our plan was to live in to be able to comfortably raise a family a life on the ranch, just Texas, but most of the hunting was in on the ranch with only that income. like Jeremy’s family Kansas.

More Than HEREFORD
Bigger in Texas Hunting enterprises are a big part of many cattle operations in Texas. by Sara Gugelmeyer
Ranching in Texas, or anywhere for that matter, often means more than just cattle. By integrating hunting and cattle, many ranchers are able to gain revenue, reduce waste and improve their rangeland. Extension specialists agree, hunting and cattle operations complement each other well.
After all, it makes sense. Ranchers own large amounts of land. At the same time, cattlemen are the original environmentalists in that they take great care to preserve the land, making it excellent wildlife habitat. And Texans, especially in south Texas with its 20th century population boom, were the first to put two and two

together and discovered people are willing to pay good money to hunt.
Hunting as a commodity Jimmie Powell is no exception. His father, Virgil, got into the Hereford business near Ft. McKavett in the 1920s, and the family began selling hunting opportunities for whitetail deer and turkey as early as 1956. According to the Texas Department of Wildlife, it was during this time period that hunting became more recreational, rather than primarily being a source of food, and so began the pursuit of trophy game animals. In Texas as early as the 1970s, deer were already an economically important commodity. Now retired, Texas A&M University Department of Ecosystem and Science Professor and Extension Specialist Emeritus C. Wayne Hanselka cites that by 1991, 28% of Texas landowners were leasing their land for hunting. That number has grown exponentially.

of the work and have control of the deer. Powell splits his properties into sections and each hunter or group of hunters has an allotment they are permitted to hunt. “They have a designated pasture or pastures depending on how much acreage they want to hunt and those are the only pastures they can hunt,” Powell says. The hunters can spend as much time as they like scouting and hunting, and they almost always place some type of deer feed or attractants on their allotted area. In this way, hunters typically lease the same area year after year, although, Powell says, “If they prefer a different area we’ll consider it. But normally they will re-lease because they’ve gotten acquainted with it, they know the terrain and they probably have their feeders out and they’re not too interested in moving them unless there’s other hunting that’s much better.” This system allows for a long-term relationship with the lessees, Powell says. Much of his property has been leased by the same people for 20 years or more. That said, it’s critical to carefully pick each lessee. Powell says, “We interview them very well before we lease and they have a good understanding that livestock is the primary objective of our enterprise and we appreciate them assisting with that. As a result, we have very little conflict.” Whitehead’s ranches, too, service a lot of lease hunters. He says it is the most profitable but not necessarily the best option. “The most profitable is the lease hunt because on the guided hunts I have to keep feed out year round, I have to have the labor to put the feed out year round,” Whitehead says. “I have a lot of costs that I don’t have associated with a lease hunt, like groceries and liquor. Guides I have to pay. Booking fee I have to pay. But the reason I do it, is I have complete control that way. I know what’s killed, when it’s killed. I have a complete record on all of that.”
Intense management Records are even more critical to Whitehead because of his intense management style and improved

genetics. His ranches use a combination of native deer and nonnative deer in regular fenced and high-fenced areas to improve the trophy value of the deer. He explains, “We do different programs with the Texas Department of Wildlife and Parks breeder programs that allow us to helicopter up to 20 does to put in a breeding pen. Then I lease a buck and bring him over, and drop him off in that pen.” Luckily for Whitehead, one of his neighbors is in the deer breeding business, and they have an agreement that allows Whitehead access to the top-quality genetics carefully selected for antler size. Whitehead says each of the does is tagged, weighed, aged and pregnancy checked after she is moved into the pen. Then the buck is kept with the does throughout the breeding season. The buck is then
returned to his owner, but the does stay in the pen until after they’ve fawned. Then they are released onto Whitehead’s ranch. The process is repeated each summer. Those deer with improved genetics are used for Whitehead’s guided hunts. Most of the guided hunts are conducted in a high-fenced area. “We have probably 8,000 acres under high fences, with cells within that fence. One cell, for example, is 1,500 acres and it’s really brushy, rough country. That’s where our best genetics are,” Whitehead explains. “We’ve got big enough acreage (outside of high fence) so we can also turn deer out of the high fence,” Whitehead adds. “Our geographic size lets us turn them loose and they don’t leave. We’ve got feeders up so they’ve had feed all their lives.” Intense management is more than just counting deer and feeding, though. Hanselka stresses that managing for deer hunting requires four important considerations: grazing management, brush management, revegetation and water development. As far as grazing management, Hanselka says, “Matching forage demand by livestock to available supplies is basic to grazing management. Texas ranges are generally overgrazed with subsequent loss of biodiversity so producers have to make timely adjustments in stock numbers to prevent overuse of preferred species and to encourage diversity.” When it comes to brush management, most cattlemen think of clearing it, but brush is important deer habitat. Hanselka says, “The most common brush pattern is strip clearing, with cleared strips alternating with strips of brush. This pattern is generally the most acceptable from the standpoint of economics and mutual benefits for deer and cattle. With the advent of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Geographic Positioning Systems (GPS), installing patterns has become more sophisticated by ‘sculpting’ mosaics onto the landscape.” Revegetation after brush clearing is critical for deer and cattle production. Hanselka says Hereford.org
the planting of some type of grass usually follows mechanical brush management practices. But he adds that encouraging forb production in those areas helps to maintain habitat integrity for deer. Finally, Hanselka says, “The lack of permanent surface water on south Texas rangelands is a limiting factor to both deer and cattle.” And it’s important to keep in mind wildlife use when designing and building a place for cattle to drink.
(the same every year) to count the number of deer on each of the nine ranches he owns. This is done in the fall before hunting season. Using a helicopter, GPS and a computer, the biologist gives Whitehead a detailed description of how many deer are in each pasture. And more than that, the report includes how many does, fawns and bucks and even how many points the bucks have. The biologist then gives Whitehead a recommended number to kill from each pasture. Whitehead uses that information to determine how each pasture should be managed. However, he only has control over the areas he reserves for guided hunts, not the lease hunts. Whitehead says, “I give all the information to the lease hunters. Then after the season I ask for a kill record which includes how many deer were killed, how many of those were does, how many were bucks, the weight of each deer killed and their ages, which is real helpful to me and my management.” Whitehead adds, “I give them light suggestions. My rate (for leasing) is $10 an acre and I don’t want more
than one guy to 250 acres. So they pay enough they don’t want to be told what to do.”
Significant revenue
For a deer lease on Powell’s ranch, the rate is around $7 or $8 an acre or lower, but he does not use improved genetics, which significantly lowers his costs. “We lease by the acre and some places are better than others. We do not have imported game, we don’t have game that is extremely unusual. We Building relationships have some excellent deer and turkey No matter whether it’s lease hunting but we do not have imported game,” or guided hunting, having a good he says. relationship with an outfitter For the most part, deer hunting can ease the process. rates are based on the size of the Powell says, “We have an antlers, which can be measured using outfitter that handles the Boone & Crockett (B&C) scoring the relationship with system.

That number will then decrease as hunters fill their tags. Still, many cattlemen are likely to think, “No way am I letting 120 people run around my ranch on one weekend!” Surprisingly, though, conflicts are rare. “If you have a good understanding of the hunters and registered Herefords from which he they know when you’re going to be sells around 100-125 bulls every fall. working cattle,” Powell says, it’s rarely a He also has a crossbreeding program problem. “For instance if you are in a to produce top-quality black baldies fall calving program you’re going to be that are sold as feds to the packer. seeing the cattle every day feeding, and Whitehead, too, has both commercial then you are going to be numbering and registered cows from which he the calves and registering them and sells around 100 Hereford bulls a year that takes a certain amount of time in and commercial crossbred females. the pasture. But our cowboys know that hunting usually takes place in early morning or late afternoon so they’re understanding also of the fact that hunters should be given some consideration. They’re not very often disturbing one another.” Whitehead even runs commercial cows in his highfenced area without any problems, he says. “The only problem I’ve had is there’s got to be a good strong, stout pen around the feeder. If not, the cows will tear it down to get to the feeder and they’ll eat about $1,000 worth of feed in three minutes.”
For Powell and Whitehead, it’s worth it to add hunting to their enterprises. Even though most of the ranches in Texas offer hunting in some form or another, the demand from hunters is high. Powell says, “Primarily because they are occupants of large cities and they like to get out away from the crowds and enjoy a peaceful life for a few days.” Whitehead adds, “I’ve got third generation people on the lease hunts. They’ll pass it down from generation to generation. Then, I’ve got a waiting list so for anyone that drops out I’ve got about a 15-person list of people looking for a deer lease.” What’s more is these hunters are a captive audience to the ranching way of life. Powell says, “Hunting is a beneficial program. It allows the landowner to encourage good management and to inform those people who are not acquainted with ranches or ranch operations. It gives them a chance to learn of the need and necessity of producing food and fiber for the population. We need to educate our population a little better about why we’re out here and what we provide.” HW

More Than HEREFORD Daric Knight (left) enjoys guiding hunters.
Hunting a Good Time Daric and Patty Knight offer guided hunts and the occasional photo tour on their family’s scenic Southwestern ranches.
Daric took advantage of the opportunity to sell his knowledge to hunters.

by Sara Gugelmeyer
Daric Knight says one day the lightbulb came on, so to speak. His area near Springerville, Ariz., was a hot spot for elk hunters, and many asked his advice while staying at his family’s hotel. In 1995 he officially jumped into the outfitting business by establishing Knight Guiding/Outfitting LLC. Knight offers guided hunts and photo tours in Arizona and New Mexico as a way to supplement his cattle operation. Knight describes outfitting as a complement to his cattle business. His Hereford operation, White Mountain Herefords, was originally owned by his maternal grandparents, Rob and Mary Hooper of Hooper Herefords. Although Daric and his wife, Patty, didn’t officially purchase the majority of the Hoopers’ cow herd until 2003, Daric had been helping run the family ranch at Springerville his whole life. On Knight’s father’s side is where the hotel business comes in. The Hereford.org
Knight family has been operating Reed’s Lodge in downtown Springerville for nearly 50 years. The lodge is a rustic, cozy gem of a hotel nestled in the White Mountains.
Valuable knowledge Although the town of Springerville’s population is less than 2,000, the White Mountains draw tourists for the scenery, the Native American ruins, skiing, hiking, fishing and hunting. Much of Knight’s family’s ranch utilizes public land grazing, so he is more than familiar with the area. Hunters staying at his family’s hotel would quiz him about where and when he’d seen a big bull. See, in Arizona, elk tags are distributed by a public draw system. The state is split into units, and one must draw a tag for the unit in which he wishes to hunt. Once the tag is
drawn, he can hunt on any public or private land (with permission, of course) in that unit. Outfitting made good sense. Knight explains, “My family had hunters coming in to stay at the hotel and when they found out we had cattle and we are out on the ground through all these popular units in Arizona, they started asking us questions. After a while we realized we’ve got some valuable country and valuable knowledge of the country, and that we may be able to make a little money from that. So in 1995, I officially jumped into the business with insurance and outfitting licenses.” Now, because Knight’s family mainly ranches on public land in Arizona, the only thing he could offer there was his knowledge. But his grandparents also owned a ranch in New Mexico, which his uncle now operates. In New Mexico the tag system works
differently. There is still a draw system for public land hunting, but landowners receive transferable tags, which can be purchased by hunters. Knight says, “So we were able to sell those landowner tags and guided hunts to clients on our private property there.” By hiring guides and finding more ranchland to lease for hunting in New Mexico, in about five years Knight had a thriving outfitting business. Although most of his clients are pursuing elk, he also offers antelope and mule deer hunts. “At one point, I was leasing a little over 100,000 acres on several ranches in New Mexico specifically for guiding hunters.” Although the outfitting business has slowed somewhat because of the recession, from 2000 to 2009, Knight says he was booking 25 to 30 hunts a year. Outfitting is obviously seasonal, but he explains that during those years, continued on page 52...

More Than HEREFORD
Making It Work Eric Walker balances a thriving nursery business and a passion for Hereford cattle. by Sara Gugelmeyer
Some would consider trees a nuisance to cattle production. That’s not necessarily true though, especially in the Walker family’s case. One can find the Walker grown trees and shrubs at retailers throughout much of the U.S. or when shopping for top performing Hereford genetics.
Eric Walker’s family has been in the Hereford business and the nursery business for generations. It’s not always easy, but doing both works for him and his family, he says. Walker Nursery was founded in the 1950s by Sam Walker (Eric’s father) and his five brothers near McMinnville, Tenn. The business saw steady expansion through the early 1970s as a local grower for a larger nursery. Walker Nursery was introduced to re-wholesalers in a large portion of the country (from the Midwest to the East Coast). During the next decade, the nursery would add more products to make it more appealing to retailers, as well. As a young adult, Eric learned all he could about the nursery business. Then after graduating from Middle Tennessee State University with
a degree in agricultural economics and a minor in marketing in 1986, Eric worked for the family business. It was in February 1988 when Eric took charge of day-to-day operations at the nursery. The company has grown exponentially since. After acquiring an additional 215 acres, Walker Nursery operates on 600 acres of highly fertile soil. Eric says, “Right now we’ve got trees growing on about 550 acres, and we harvest about 40,000 plants a year, plus another 5,000 containerized plants.” He adds, “We grow mainly shade and ornamental trees and several varieties of flowering shrubs. On the ornamental and shade tree side we’re probably growing 150 varieties. On the shrub side, another 100 varieties.” Although Walker Nursery has a small retail location, Eric says, “95% or better of our business is wholesale, shipped to 20 to 25 states a year. We’ll ship to Dallas, northward to Wichita

(Kan.) and up to Omaha (Neb.). And across the Midwest to the Northeast and south to Georgia. It’s a pretty good-sized market area.” In fact, Walker Nursery was one of the suppliers of trees for a memorial in rural Pennsylvania where Flight 93 crashed on 9/11. Clearly, with this large enterprise, it’s a lot for Eric to manage. He explains that while he oversees everything, his main responsibilities are on the sales and harvest ends of things. “I have a production manager that oversees the growing end of it,” Eric says. “Of course we talk daily about everything, but he oversees that himself.” Trees and shrubs are sold to re-wholesalers, retail garden centers and landscapers. Eric’s job is to find buyers, so he attends about five trade shows a year. Eric says, “We have six commission sales reps scattered all over: Kansas City, Cleveland, Chicago, Atlanta and two along the East Coast. I am in constant contact with them about the sales.” At the nursery, Eric must be sure that the right trees are dug at the right time, packaged right and shipped right. Eric says compared to other types of farming, “It’s a long drawn out process, versus say corn or soybeans. We plant a crop and it’s in the ground, on average, three to five years before harvest. We don’t plant them in March and dig them up in the fall.
Hereford.org
Both Eric and Cody agree their hearts are in the cattle business. Cody joined his Dad fulltime, helping with the family’s cattle and nursery businesses, in 2009.
Since he mainly deals with harvesting the trees, Eric says, “From April to middle of October, during the growing season, is when I have my slack time. My heavy duty trade show and digging time is from October to March.” With the exception of calving season, that works well as a complement to the family’s Hereford business. Much like the nursery, Eric has grown and changed the family’s cattle focus as well. “My father and his brothers always had Hereford cattle, but they were commercial Herefords, not registered,” Eric says. Since 1981 Walker Polled Hereford Farm has been performance focused and maintains a cow herd of about 100 to 125 head. With performance goals in mind, Eric does a lot of artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer work, and ultrasound data is collected on all yearlings. The Walkers sell mainly females and a few bulls through consignment and production sales. To fit the supply and demand, Eric explains that they have a sale two out of every three years. For example, sales were held in 2010 and 2011, so in 2012 there will be no sale; then in 2013 and 2014, sales will take place again. In total, 16 Walker Polled Hereford Farm production sales have been hosted with cattle sold to 32 states, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom. Eric says the showring is not necessarily where his goals lie, but his
program has raised winners at local, state and national levels. Eric admits that balancing both businesses can take its toll. He credits his wife, Rhonda, son, Cody, and stepson, Casey, with helping him out. “There are times in the spring when I am really stretched and I don’t get to see the cattle. During calving season I am really busy digging trees and shipping and it’s hard to be continued on page 58...
Replacement heifers are weaned and then shipped to Ohio in December to be developed and bred. The bred females then return to Tennessee in June. Eric says this practice allows him to better utilize his resources.

everywhere, but we have good help and that works to our advantage. My son helps out and I have a herdsman that sees them everyday,” he says. Eric’s dedication to both cattle and nursery businesses is illustrated by his willingness to participate as a member of and volunteer for industryrelated associations. He is a member of the Middle Tennessee Hereford and East Tennessee Polled Hereford Associations as well as a member of the Tennessee and Warren County
Eric says as a seedstock producer, it is important to be on the cutting edge and utilize the technology and resources available to produce the best product possible. Pictured here embryologist, Todd Bickett, DVM, is pregnancy checking Walker recipient females to confirm pregnancy. Walkers have tried different tools including ultrasound, BioPRYN and BoviPreg to confirm pregnancy. They also use ultrasound to sex pregnancies.

Cattlemen’s Associations. He has been a director and president of the Tennessee Polled Hereford Association. He has served on the American Hereford Association (AHA) nomination committee and has been a delegate to the AHA Annual Membership Meeting for several years. In 2011 Eric was elected to serve on the AHA Board of Directors. He has served as president of the Tennessee Nursery and Landscape Association and is also a member of the Southern Nursery Association and the Middle Tennessee Nursery Association. He may be busy, but the cattle business is not something he considers giving up. “It helps with cash flow and the cattle are a passion for me,” he says. “It works, I can’t tell you how it does work, but it does. My first love is the cattle, but we have to do a little of everything.” HW
Walker sells mostly heifers and just a few of his very best bulls.
The Walker family was recognized as the 2012 Tennessee Polled Hereford Association (TPHA) Zack Dismukes Family of the Year. This award was established to honor individuals and/or families for their outstanding role in the promotion of the Hereford industry. Pictured at the TPHA annual banquet are: Casey Tomberlin and Rhonda, Eric, Betty and Cody Walker.

The Marvelous Maze and More Woolfolk Farms offers the public a glimpse at farm life through its corn maze and other activities each fall. by Sara Gugelmeyer
For those of us with an ag background, “another day at the farm” sounds like work. But for many, a trip to the farm is a rare novelty, and Scott Woolfolk, along with his family, is capitalizing on the public’s desire to spend a day in the country. Since 2000 Woolfolk Farms has made a business of offering a “marvelous” corn maze and other fun activities to the public.
Twelve years ago, Scott Woolfolk and his wife, Cher, were faced with a tough decision. She already worked as an elementary school teacher in town, but her job and the farm and cattle operations were still not big enough to support their growing family. Scott would either have to go job hunting or find a way to gather some more revenue from the farm. They asked themselves, “If we build it, will they come?” Well, they built a corn maze, and yes, they came.
The Woolfolks cut a corn maze and began charging the public admission to come out to the farm near Jackson, Tenn. As it turned out, Jackson, with a population of around 65,000 people, was full of folks looking for family fun on the farm. Although the Woolfolks’ Hereford and farming operations have grown since that first year, the maze has become a popular attraction and important added revenue for the family.
Since 2000 the Woolfolk family has hosted thousands at its Marvelous Maze. The maze and related activities has been a great way for the Woolfolk family to share ag’s story as well as a source of revenue to complement their farming operation.

Visitors can feed animals in a petting zoo and kids can enjoy taking a ride in the barrel train.
Scott explains, “It started out as a corn maze but now we do hay mazes and a pumpkin patch, along with a petting zoo. We try to add something new every year within the agricultural theme.” It’s dubbed “Woolfolk Farms’ Marvelous Maze” for the original corn maze, but the Woolfolks also now offer two hay mazes, a petting zoo of horses, cattle and goats, and a pickyour-own pumpkin patch accessible by hay rack ride. A concession stand also accommodates the visitors. The maze is open during the month of October only, because, Scott says, “September is still too hot and November can get pretty messy.” On the weekends, the maze is open to the public, but during the week, it is often filled with eager students. Hereford.org
“We do a lot of field trips to the farm so it’s educational too,” Scott says. “On the weekend it’s open to the public, but in today’s world and the area we’re in it’s still pretty educational. We don’t sit around and teach them on the weekends but just being on the farm is educational to a lot of them.” Cher, their two sons — John Thomas, 13, and Russ, 5 — along with other friends and The Woolfolk family — Cher, Scott, John Thomas and Russ. family, help out with various jobs at the maze, but Scott says that can get the wrong idea about he tries to make himself available things pretty fast if somebody is not to answer questions. there to answer their questions.” “That’s pretty much all I do Scott says although most visitors on a Saturday is float around and are not likely to know the difference answer questions. The public is just between a Hereford and an Angus, full of questions, and we talk a lot they always keep a friendly Hereford about cattle. So I just float around in the petting zoo. “We always have a the farmyard and try to inform cow-calf pair or bottle calf for them them about the farming and cattle continued on page 64... industries.

to see. We’ve taken some of the kids’ ex-show heifers up there before and they’ll stand there and let 5,000 people rub on them and they never get excited. They can stand there for several days in a row and never get tired of people petting them.” John Thomas also helps with answering questions, thanks to the skills the National Junior Hereford Association has taught him. “He helps out quite a bit,” Scott says. “He’s shown cattle since he was old enough to walk and he knows the livestock industry and likes to hang
out with the animals and tell people about them.” Woolfolk Farms is truly a family business. Scott and his family and his parents, John and Pat, are all partners in all that goes on there. The farm has been in the family since 1865, and they raise Hereford cattle and Bermuda hay mostly, along with cotton, corn and soybeans. Farming, raising cattle and hosting the public through the maze — all
work together well, Scott says. “A lot of the getting ready part of it, cutting out the corn maze and stuff like that is in the summertime when we’ve already got the equipment out.” During the month of October, though, things can become extremely hectic. “Probably 75% of our calves are born in October and November,” Scott explains. “So the maze doesn’t happen during a downtime. You’d think we’d consider changing our calving season around that, but our best growth rates come out of our fall calves. So we start every morning about daylight checking cows and then we go to the corn maze, then we wind up at dark checking cows again.” The Woolfolks’ connections through the farm have come in handy with the corn maze. “We work real close with a lot of ag industries, like chemical companies and feed companies,” Scott says. “The local John Deere dealer is one of the biggest supporters we’ve got. Those kinds of companies are willing to put their machinery and advertising out there because they want to help educate the public too. They’re aware that the odds of them selling a tractor to people coming out there are pretty slim. They do it to help educate the public about what’s going on in the agriculture industry as much as anything. They recognize educating the public benefits them too.” The Marvelous Maze helps inform thousands of people each year about farming and the cattle industry, but also, and maybe more importantly, the added revenue it created has allowed Scott to raise another generation of Woolfolks on the farm.

More Than HEREFORD
Christmas Trees and Herefords It may seem like an unusual combination but one that has worked for Vollstedt Farms for decades. by Sara Gugelmeyer
Phyllis (left) and Linda enjoy the Christmas tree business but say Herefords are their true love.
Christmas tree business The Vollstedt name has long been associated with Christmas trees. In 1968 Phyllis and Linda decided to start their own tree farm near Albany, Ore. Linda says, “Phyllis bought some land to grow Christmas trees and it was more land than

we needed, so we ended up with purebred Hereford cattle.” The tree business was different back then, though. “Originally we were growing them wholesale and worked for a broker,” Linda explains. “But about 16 years ago, there were too many trees on the market and the broker didn’t want ours, so we decided we’d see if we could run a choose-and-cut.” But that option presented challenges. Never before had it been an issue, but there was only a single lane from the road back to where the trees are grown. Innovatively, Phyllis and Linda decided to use that complication to their advantage. “We bought a wagon to transport people and decided to see if that would work,” Linda explains. “They loved it, and it expanded rapidly from there.”
“In 1995, we had the national champion polled bull. We try to stay competitive and once in a while we get a good win, but we’re usually right up there.” Vollstedt Farms has definitely been staying competitive in the tree business as well. They have about 28,000 trees planted at any one time, and their single wagon was long-ago outgrown. “We’re running two sets of wagons. We have two big tractors that we rent. We’ll have a wagon carrying people and a tree wagon behind that and then another people wagon. We run two sets of those on a single lane road. They have to be totally coordinated. If they face each other, it’s impossible to back up.”
Raising the best The cattle business has changed as well, but Linda and Phyllis continue to do their best to raise the best. Bulls and heifers are sold mainly private treaty, with a few consigned to local sales. They use the showring to help promote their program. A wagon was bought to solve a problem, but quickly became part of the attraction.

Imagine children are laughing and playing. Their parents help them onto a wagon, and they all sing a Christmas song as the tractor pulls away from the parking lot. When the tractor stops, it’s like taking a step back in time. The families climb out and begin choosing their favorite tree. When the perfect one is found, the children’s eyes light up as their father kneels down and cuts it. The tree is loaded, and the tractor returns the wagon and the family to an old glass greenhouse, spectacularly lit with Christmas lights. Inside Phyllis Vollstedt and Linda Sims greet the families with hot chocolate, wassail or coffee and homemade cookies. It looks like a scene from an old black-and-white picture, but there’s a twist. Before the children leave, they tug their parents’ arms and beg to go pet the noses of some Hereford heifers. See, in this winter wonderland, reindeer are replaced with Herefords. Phyllis and Linda have a unique combination on their farm. Amongst the young Christmas trees graze about 30 head of registered Hereford cows and calves.

The wagons go right by the Hereford cattle. “We have to go by the cattle barns to get to the trees,” Linda explains. “The customers absolutely love it. We usually keep either the heifers or the bulls down by one of the wagon stops so everyone can go in and feed them little handfuls of hay.” The buying season is short but hectic. “We open the day after Thanksgiving and close about 7 to 10 days before Christmas,” Linda says. They hire college students to help out, and Linda’s brothers and a close friend help as well. “On a busy weekend, we’ll run a crew of 14-15,” Linda says. “You can’t believe how much fun it is,” she adds. “We can park 100 cars in the parking lot and the wagons will be running as fast as they can go. People will line up to get on the wagons.” When the wagons arrive at the greenhouse, trees are unloaded and measured, old needles are shaken out, and stands sold and put on outside. A hot wood stove lures guests inside. Popcorn is for sale, but the hot chocolate, wassail, coffee and homemade cookies are free for the taking while customers line up to pay for their trees. They made 420 dozen cookies to serve to guests in 2011. “We’ll absolutely pack that greenhouse with people,” Linda says.
This small greenhouse becomes a winter wonderland during Christmas tree season. Plenty of free homemade cookies and hot drinks are served.
“This year we’ve had several families come in with four generations and kids that came in when they were young that are now bringing their children. It’s truly a family affair.” Unfortunately, Linda and Phyllis are not getting any younger. They have year-round help with the trees and the cattle, but Linda says, “We’ve debated how long we’re going to keep doing the Christmas trees and everything since we’re both getting older, not that we want to admit it. But we’re still planting this year and we’ll plant some trees that won’t harvest for 10 years so we must be pretty optimistic. The cows will always be here.” She adds, “I love my Herefords. I love my cows. I would never do anything other than these guys. They are so easy to work with.” Phyllis says, “I don’t think anybody that’s raising livestock could ever feel like they didn’t need to do anything. We’re pretty much size-wise where we want to be, we just want to get better.” Linda adds, “It’s always the goal to raise the greatest ones.” HW

More Than HEREFORD
The Perfect Pair
Peas and carrots. Peanut butter and jelly. What is the perfect pair? For Gene and Lori Stumpf, Columbia, Ill., they’d say “Herefords and farming.” They’ve been raising row crops and Hereford cattle on their family farm for more than two decades. Although the challenges can be different, this couple says the
rewards of both segments of their operation are vast and great.
The birth of the duo The Stumpf farm began in 1904 when Gene’s great-grandfather, Fred Stumpf, purchased the land on which the current farm sits. For generations, the Stumpf family raised dairy cattle on the farm, in The Stumpf family evaluates the offering at Star Lake Cattle Ranch's sale. They have found great success in the showring — often with cattle purchased through Star Lake's sales.

addition to corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa. It was only natural for Gene to follow in the family tradition, he says. “I’ve always been an outside person and liked the idea of being my own boss,” he says. “I have always wanted to take over the family farm.” And in 1985 he did just that when he, along with his brother and sister-in-law, Allen and Cheryl, purchased the family farm from his parents — Leslie and Arlene. Together, they farm about 4,000 acres of corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa — specializing in alfalfa. “We raise about 220 acres of alfalfa and sell about 95% of it,” Gene says. “We shoot for five cuttings a year.” With their farm being located on the outskirts of St. Louis, their primary hay Each member of the Stumpf family — (l to r) Logan, Cory, Lucas, Lori and Gene — takes an active role in the customers are horse owners in family farming operation. the area, Gene says. point for us was going to the Star Lake year,” Gene says. “We also market In addition to the crop Cattle Ranch sale in 1993.

Preparing for cattle shows is a family affair, Gene says. “During the shows, Lucas does all of the fitting and clipping,” he says. “They all work together on the farm. And when they’re not working cows, they are helping make hay or work ground.” In fact, balancing the farm workload with the cattle responsibilities can be a challenge, Gene says. “There have definitely been times when we were farming that the cattle got the short end of the stick,” Gene says. “It takes a lot of hours to do both. But now that the boys are old enough, they can care for the cattle while I farm. We are now trying to do more AI (artificial insemintation), and the kids can help with that, too.” However, the flexibility of a farmer’s schedule can also benefit the cattle operation, he says. “If I wasn’t full-time farming, I wouldn’t be able to spend the hours I need to with the cows,” he says. “A lot of people work an outside job and do it. But I don’t think I could devote enough hours to the cattle if I wasn’t farming.”
The joy of Herefords Gene says Hereford cattle and the Hereford industry, as a whole, have been a positive in the Stumpf family’s life.
“I can walk into a 30-acre pasture and put a halter on a heifer and lead her out — and I won’t get my head kicked off,” he says with a laugh. In addition, he says, the people of the Hereford industry have been helpful, and the The Stumpfs exhibited the champion female at the 2011 and 2012 experience is providing Star Lake Cattle Ranch Futurity.

Gene believes educating the public about agriculture is critical — whether a person is involved in crop farming or the cattle industry. “We live pretty close to St. Louis — in an area where people don’t have any idea what happens in the agricultural
Together, Gene says, the entire family is gaining the rewards of hard work on the farm. In fact, he says, the benefits come both from the crops and cattle produced and the development of his boys. “It’s a chance to plant seeds in the spring and hopefully see the rewards in the fall,” he says. “You’re also able to be your own boss. And it’s also a chance for me to hopefully give my boys the same opportunity that my dad gave me.” If their current interest is any indication, Gene says, his sons will likely follow in the footsteps of numerous Stumpf men and women that came before them. “Lucas lives and breathes the cows, and if he can find a way to do that, he will,” Gene says. “I believe our boys will want to continue the tradition someday.” The Stumpf family has truly found the perfect match for their family. Bread and butter. Cake and ice cream. Herefords and crops. Truly, could there be a better pair? HW

More Than HEREFORD
Hard Rock Business These two Hereford breeders have discovered rock, sand and soil are big business. by Christy Couch Lee
Many folks can appreciate the beauty of their property as they look out over green grass, water, trees and, of course, those red and white Herefords. But how many people can say they’ve seen the beauty beneath the surface? Randy Christy, Union City, Mich., and Randy Davee, RW Davee Enterprises, Mooresville, Ind., can say just that. By tapping into the resources
beneath the surface of their land, they’ve each developed a big business in the gravel, soil and water industry.
Christy’s story Christy worked for years as a farmhand, beginning when he graduated from high school. Eventually, he was able to purchase 80 acres of land from the family he worked for — much of which is forest and river.
Above: Randy Christy, Union City, Mich., and Randy Davee, RW Davee Enterprises, Mooresville, Ind., have developed a successful business in the gravel, soil and water industry.

/ July 2012
He’s been able to utilize many resources from the land, including the wood, gravel and soil. However, his main source of income from the property has been the latter two. The gravel is harvested from a 30-acre field that sits on a river bottom and an end moraine, which is a place where a glacier stopped and pulled back, leaving a high concentration of stone as a result. “The water table is 3 feet below the surface of the ground,” Christy explains. “I use a dragline crane to remove the gravel and let it dry on the bank. Then I screen it out.” Christy says although many quarries leave a pit resulting from harvesting, he is able to harvest in a manner that remains attractive. “It’s in my backyard, and my house view is over what is now a large lake,” he says. A one-man operation, he harvests about a half acre of gravel per year, which yields about 5,000 cubic yards or 1,000 truckloads of gravel. Although other companies in his area cater to larger projects and needs, Christy specializes in serving personal-use needs — such as driveways or yards — within a 15-mile radius of his home. In addition, Christy combines the manure from his cattle with the topsoil removed from the gravel excavation to market a premium compost product, he says.
Davee’s story Davee and his family, who live on the ever-growing outskirts of Indianapolis, have found a way to stay on the land they love and once farmed, while maintaining a constant revenue stream. “We tried to diversify the farm, and we had been a small family farm for three generations,” Davee recalls. “We were getting eaten up by the Hereford.org
population in Indy, and we knew we either needed to relocate the farm, or stay here and adjust to what was around us. With the housing projects, we were losing a lot of ground. So, we decided to stay here and do what we could do, and give us some income and enjoy life.” The farm was originally started by Davee’s dad, William, and uncle, Dale. The families farmed together until the mid-’80s, when the farm was split between the two families. And, in 1996 the family decided to venture into the sand and gravel rights business. “We didn’t get anything actually up and running until 1999 or 2000,” Davee says. “This is a slow incomemaking process. Like with any business, it takes time.” Today, Randy and William manage their portion together as RW Davee Enterprises, along with Randy’s wife, Robin, and daughter, Desiree. They have leased the land formerly planted in corn, soybeans and wheat to companies who mine aggregate for various industries. “Two companies are in the asphalt business, building parking lots and interstates including I-69, and the other harvests the dirt,” Davee says. Because their land also lies on a large aquifer, they have discovered a great market for the water rights on the property, as well. “We’ve found that water has more value than anything,” Davee says. “It’s the new oil of the next 100 years. You can’t find good water in
“The diversification helps a great deal.” — Randy Davee every city, but every city has to have it. Once the sand and gravel are removed from the property, the lake is a natural focal point.” The future of Davee’s operation is bright, as well. Once the excavation is complete on his land, the long-term plan is to develop housing along the lakes, which are 100 acres in size. “We can develop some land and sell some land,” he says. “We foresee a longterm revenue stream from the land.” Both men say these businesses provide great benefits to their families.
Benefits of the business Davee says the greatest part of his business is the consistent income. “It’s nice to know the check is going to come, whether or not I get out of bed,” he says with a laugh. “The diversification helps a great deal.” And, Christy says, the people he works with daily make his job worthwhile. “There is seldom anyone not happy when I’m done taking them what they’ve requested,” he says. In addition, he says, being able to set his own hours is a great advantage.
“I can leave my 13-year-old daughter, Holly, at home for brief moments and come in the house to check on her often,” he says. His 28-year-old son, Ryan, also lives next door and is a partner in a nearby corn and soybean operation. Christy says he finds great pride in having his son’s help from time to time with the aggregate business, as well. Of course, no business comes without challenges. And this business is no exception. Because of the nature of harvesting gravel, Christy says, when water freezes, the season is done. “That can provide some challenges with steady income,” he says. “But, it also provides time for ice fishing and for calving in January and February.” And, Davee says, sometimes the resulting pit from the excavation isn’t considered “beautiful” by all. “They’re not the most attractive things in the neighborhood, and not everyone likes it,” Davee says. “But, in the end, we’re left with a very attractive lake, where the fishing is continued on page 86...

fantastic and the hunting is great. And we have waterfowl in our area that we never had before the lakes.” Christy says his land is now a wildlife haven with ducks, geese, bullfrogs, turtles and snakes. Both men say their aggregate businesses are the perfect complements to their Hereford cattle herds.
Herefords go hand-in-hand Christy says he has a small operation, marketing between six and eight calves per year. However, he makes the most of the cattle he has. Christy has found success in the showring, having raised a heifer that went on to win her junior and open classes at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. And, having taken only five bulls to the Michigan Beef Expo through the years, he’s claimed two champion and three reserve titles. Davee says he is the only one of the family who has pursued the cattle business. About 10 years ago, he had 160 brood cows and maintained a herd of about 300. Today, that number is down to about 30 brood cows. “We have gotten smaller for a couple of reasons,” Davee says. “We believe quality is better than quantity. And, we feel like when trying to address the needs of the Hereford breed, it’s better for us to focus on genetically superior females. For us, being smaller and really good is better than being really big.” That plan has worked well for Davee. He has seen the purple at nearly every major show in the
country, including the NWSS; North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Ky.; Keystone International Livestock Exposition in Harrisburg, Pa.; and the Indiana State Fair. His greatest success, he says, was claiming the title of 2001 NWSS champion horned Hereford bull with DS KCK Legend, whom he co-owned with K.C. Keffer and Stockdale Hereford Farm. He also was the co-owner of Gerber Lombardi 014L, who was leased to Accelerated Genetics, and co-owner of Gerber Acclaim 43A, who was the 1996 NWSS champion Hereford bull, leased to 21st Century Genetics. Davee says he has always had a love of the Hereford breed. “We have always enjoyed Hereford cattle,” he says. “We see them as a better opportunity in the business than Angus, because our area is flooded with Angus breeders. If everyone is selling apples, why sell apples? We started trying to sell really good oranges.” Success in the aggregate and cattle businesses can be tied to many of the same principles, these men say.
Common thread Christy says the key for him in both businesses is to be focused on quality. “You must do it right the first time — that makes it all come out a little better,” he says. “The end result is better if you do things right from the start.” And, he says, success with clients is the same — regardless of the industry.
“I’ve always had good faith in people, and in both industries, I’ve let my first impression guide my trust,” he says. “I’ve found that in both industries, I can put trust into people.” Davee says he has learned that good business sense is critical in both industries. “I’ve learned not to see things as only black and white,” he says. “Sometimes, you have to investigate and spend time digging into the past. With cattle, that could mean pulling a seven-generation pedigree. People look at me like I’m nuts. But if you don’t know what you’re putting into your cow herd, you’ll look back and regret that decision.” This research carries over into the rock business, as well. “With any business venture, you need to investigate everyone you’re working with,” Davee says. “Sometimes the best offers aren’t the best offers in the end. Don’t just jump on something by a whim. You need to do your investigation.” And, he says, once he’s done his investigation, he’s been pleased with the people he’s worked with in both industries. “We are all in this to make a profit, of course,” Davee says. “But we work with people who are passionate about what they do, with a desire and interest for the industries. We have goals in mind, but we enjoy what we do, too.” By focusing on quality and seeing the potential of their land, these two men have found great success in both the aggregate and cattle industries. It’s truly a hard rock life. HW
Christy says the lake resulting from the gravel and soil harvest is a haven for wildlife, including geese, ducks, turtles, bullfrogs and snakes.

Herefords, Feed, Seed and More The Hunt family has found success managing their Hereford herd as well as a large feed, seed and fertilizer business serving producers in the Southeast. by Angie Stump Denton
Godfrey’s offers both bulk and sack feed. Bulk feed is delivered to the producer, and bag feed is marketed through 50 stores. Godfrey’s also sells seed, herbicide and fertilizer, as well as general agricultural related products.
Hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge of the products they sell have helped the Hunt family find success in both the Hereford business and the feed and seed business. Whitey Hunt and his son, Weyman, are the fifth and sixth generation to manage Godfrey’s, a feed and seed enterprise, and Innisfail Farm, a registered Hereford operation located in Madison, Ga. Whitey’s brother, Candler, has also been a partner in both enterprises for 40 years. The father and son agree the firsthand knowledge they get from utilizing the products they sell on their farm gives them credibility when they talk to their customers. “When you can tell a customer this is what we do on our farm, it is a little more convincing,” Weyman says. “The farm and the feed store go hand-in-hand, one benefits the other.”
In the beginning In the late 1870s J.E. Godfrey, Whitey and Candler’s great-great-grandfather, purchased the property where the feed mill and store is located. It was originally a cotton warehouse that also sold fertilizer and coal. Through the years, Godfrey’s has changed its services to reflect the changing needs of the agriculture industry. In the 1930s the family added feed, and in the late 1960s, they stopped selling coal and warehousing cotton.

Godfrey’s current products and services include: • Feed — both bagged and custom-blended — small or large quantities • Seed • Fertilizer — product and application — including nitrogen and lime • Herbicides — product and application • Fencing supplies and service • Lawn care supplies • Pet food • Animal health supplies — vaccines, medicines, vitamins • Shavings and horse bedding Godfrey’s sells products into five states, including South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. The feed mill can produce 300 tons per day.
The farm, Herefords In the 1870s J.E. Godfrey also purchased the farmland where the Innisfail cow herd is managed today. It was originally purchased to grow cotton. Whitey’s grandfather purchased the family’s first Herefords in the 1950s. After Whitey graduated from college and returned to the family farm, he says, he experimented with different breeds, but after those trials, Hereford remained his breed of choice.
Godfrey’s has been a family-owned business for six generations, starting with J.E. Godfrey and continuing today with Whitey Hunt, Candler Hunt and Weyman Hunt. Weyman (left) and Whitey (right) say the education they get from using their products allows them to give customers firsthand knowledge about something that works.
“Herefords have been good to me,” Whitey says. “We like the temperament of the cattle and the people in the breed.” Today the Innisfail herd totals about 125 registered Hereford cows. The Hunts have a fall-calving program with calves born from September to the middle of November. Whitey explains the cow herd is somewhat linebred for balanced traits including carcass traits. He also will not tolerate bad udders. “If a female has a bad udder they have to go,” he says. The Hunts use artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET) to continue to improve

their herd. As they expand their ET program, the Hunts are working with a cooperator who has a herd in Missouri. He places the eggs, calves out the cows and manages the calves until they are about five months old when they are then shipped to Innisfail.
Marketing For the last four years, the Hunt family has participated in the Bull Power program. “It is the best thing we ever did,” Whitey says. “It gave us more exposure for our Hereford bulls.” The Bull Power program is an annual multi-breed test that ends with an auction the first Friday in November. The Hunts typically send 10-12 bulls a year to the test. “In this part of the country cattlemen are not very Hereford friendly,” Weyman says. “Through this program we’ve been able to build confidence in the genetics and performance of our Hereford bulls, which has in return helped us sell about 20 bulls a year off the farm private treaty.” Another way Innisfail genetics are put to the test is through the Georgia Pride Program. For eight years, Whitey has sent about 30 steer calves to a feedlot in Iowa where feedlot and carcass data are collected. This past year 70% of the calves graded Choice or better. Participating in the Georgia Pride Program has allowed the Hunts to monitor the performance of their genetics in the feedlot and on the rail. Whitey says a key to marketing success for both entities is customer service. “Be honest with your customers, provide good service and make them money,” he explains, “and they’ll come back.”
The future With the sixth generation now at the helm and the

seventh generation getting their start in the Hereford business, Godfrey’s and Innisfail Farm are set to continue to thrive for many more generations to come. Weyman and his wife, Ashley, have three boys. Their oldest recently got his first Hereford heifers and will begin his career as a Hereford showman this summer. Weyman and Whitey agree they are excited about the future of the
Hereford business. They say they have witnessed a new optimism about the Hereford breed as well as an increase in demand. “Through a lot of hard work, Hereford breeders have developed cattle that really excel and have gained the respect of the industry today,” Weyman says. “We believe Hereford cattle have a bright future.” HW
According to Weyman, they take extra steps at the feed plant to ensure superior nutrition for their customers as well as for their own cattle, like the heifers pictured above. This includes steam rolling corn to increase palatability and digestibility. Godfrey’s computerized microsystem can measure and add precise quantities of extra ingredients such as vitamins, minerals and medicine.

and a bull from Scott and Marsh, Belton, Mo. Thus, Daylesford Farms was born. The Andras family purchased their first registered Herefords in 1911. When J.C. Andras took over the family farm, he began to hone the operation a bit. The Shorthorns were dispersed, and he focused attention on the trade of land in the area. “My wife and I bought 160 acres about a half mile from where my grandfather originally settled, and lo and behold, when we read the abstract, we saw that my grandfather had owned it years ago,” says Cary Jr. “My grandfather was a businessman.” J.C. and his wife, Meda, had five children: William (“Billy”), John III, Paul, Cary and Eliza. Under J.C.’s management, the family showed and registered Hereford cattle under the “J.C. Andras and Sons” name. By the 1920s the Andras family held annual production sales and were regular exhibitors at the Chicago International Livestock Exposition, American Royal, Fort Worth Stock Show and National Western Stock Show. In 1935 they were the first to have a Hereford bull — Don Axtell the 16th — win all three major shows. Traveling to these shows was often an adventure, Cary Jr. says.
Andras family timeline
Don Axtell the 16th brought great recognition for the Andras family, claiming championship honors at three major shows.

of Herefords part of their lives for more than 100 years. “The railroad company would drop off a rail car in Manchester, onto which the show cattle, tack, feed, food, crew and hay were loaded,” he says. “Usually riding in the boxcar with the cattle, the Andras boys would settle in for a train ride, often several days in duration. They were regular exhibitors at Chicago, Kansas City, Fort Worth and Denver.” At the end of World War II, J.C. passed away, and the family operation was passed on to his sons, Cary Jr. says. “The boys stayed together and showed everything as Andras Brothers,” he says. “My dad, Cary F. Andras, was the first to split off in 1947. Up until this time, the family raised horned Herefords. But after he left, he switched to polled Herefords, purchasing a polled bull and beginning to register as ‘Cary Andras.’ When I joined the operation, it became ‘Cary F. Andras and Son,’ and we register our Herefords as this today.” The Andras brothers became involved in service in the industry. Cary served as an officer of the Illinois Polled Hereford Association, and he and William served as officers of the Illinois Valley Hereford Association, as well. In addition, John was active, judging numerous shows across the country.
The Andras family purchased their first registered Herefords. 1911

J.C. Andras and Sons was the first to have a Hereford bull – Don Axtell the 16th – win all three major shows. 1935
Cary Andras Jr. and his family have lived on the Murrayville farm since 1998, where they maintain about 40 head of purebred Hereford cattle.
— Quality genetics The major bloodlines used by the Andras family in the early 20th Century were the Domino and Anxiety 4th bloodlines. “Don Axtell the 16th did well for us,” Cary Jr. says. “In 1935, he was named champion at the Fort Worth Stock Show, the American Royal and the Chicago International.” He was also named the reserve champion Hereford bull at the American Royal in 1934. “He was undefeated as a senior calf and as a 2-year-old,” Cary Jr. says. “At the time, they had so many requests for photos of that bull that they had posters made. They were extremely popular in the FFA classrooms at the time.” Don Axtell the 16th wasn’t the only successful bull in the Andras herd. Dominee, Domino, Young
J.C. passed away, leaving the operation to his four sons, who began to exhibit as Andras Brothers. 1945
Axtell, Superior and Star Apollo also were prominent sires of the herd. Dominee also found success at the National Western Stock Show in Denver in 1941. In fact, his sale led to the marriage of Cary F. and Alice Andras. “My dad was in Denver with show cattle and wrote my mom a letter,” Cary Jr. says. “The letter said he sold Dominee for $5,000, and they could then get married.”
— Honed on Herefords The Andras family initially chose Herefords for their popularity. “They were king of the cow country out West,” Cary Jr. says. “The Herefords calving in that rough country wouldn’t come in with the heaviest calf, maybe, but they would come in with a calf. Their fertility was excellent.”
The Andras brothers began to split off, raising and exhibiting Herefords in their own names. 1947

he did until the ranch’s dispersal in 2010. J.C. and Deb’s three children — John V, Geoff and Whitney — have also been actively involved in the industry. John was a two-term president of the Montana Junior Hereford Association (MJHA), where he was instrumental in the creation of the Certified Hereford Beef steer show program. “He rallied the small group of juniors and breeders to create more Hereford interest in Montana,” Deb says. “And when the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) was held in Billings, Mont., in 2001, John was very much a part of the effort.” Perhaps John V’s greatest contribution to the breed thus far was serving as a National Junior Hereford Association director from 2000-2003. Currently, he works for Superior Productions in the purebred division, marketing registered cattle, and as a Superior Livestock Auction representative, marketing feeder cattle. Their son Geoff also served a two-year term as a MJHA president, in addition to being an officer of the Oklahoma Junior Hereford Association (OJHA). Geoff’s last year as a ‘junior’ was topped off by being awarded reserve champion senior showman at last summer’s JNHE in Kansas City. He has been in the top 10 three times within the last four years. Geoff’s accomplishments don’t end at showmanship; he also has shown two class winners at the last

two JNHEs and was honored with the inaugural Wesley Rakestraw Memorial Award in 2009. He works with Langford Herefords, Okmulgee, Okla., as its herdsman and has achieved much success in the industry, being named the 2012 Herdsman Award winner at the Fort Worth Stock Show. Their daughter, Whitney, has also served as a MJHA director. She is currently the OJHA president and Oklahoma Hereford Queen and has competed in numerous 4-H and FFA shows in addition to the past five consecutive JNHEs, exhibiting a division winner at the 2008 Kansas City JNHE.

my cousins Steven and J.C. But I’m here, breeding what I like.” Cary Jr. says he gets the greatest pride from seeing his small Hereford operation progress and continually improve. “I get the most pride looking at calves, and seeing them doing what I had hoped they would do,” he says. “I inherited the farm, but have spent the last 10-12 years rebuilding it.” More than a century after John Cennick Andras settled in Illinois, his family is still carrying on the tradition of raising quality Herefords on the land. It’s safe to say he’d be proud. HW

— Appreciating the honor Cary Jr. says receiving the Century Hereford Breeder award from the AHA is gratifying. “In a way, it’s saying that I’m here, raising Hereford cattle as my family has done for more than 100 years,” he says. “Nobody knows me or has heard of me, as they know of

A Rockin’ Representative
Chef Kevin Aho rocks the 2011 Certified Hereford Beef® Distinguished Chef title. by Christy Couch Lee
H
e’s been around the world and has prepared dishes for rock bands and international dignitaries. And after a nearly two-decade connection to Angus branded beef, he’s discovered a program that he says is beyond comparison — Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®). Chef Kevin Aho, executive chef at Izaty’s Resort, Onamia, Minn., was recently named the 2011 CHB Distinguished Chef. Aho was nominated by Izaty’s and Sysco Foods. His nomination, coupled with letters of recommendation, his resumé, the Izaty’s menu and his entrees, led to his recent honor. His background is diverse, and his talent is wide. Despite what his future may hold, he says one thing is for certain: he’s now forever a fan of CHB.
A simple start Aho’s culinary career began as a line cook at Hardee’s® when he was 15. However, following culinary school, he interned
Chef Kevin Aho says every CHB steak he prepares is consistently high quality, lending itself to unique dishes for the Izaty’s Resort clientele.

/ July 2012
Aho’s dishes have graced the plates of many dignitaries and celebrities. The ambassador for Kuwait enjoyed Aho’s preparations. And, in the 1980s, he privately cooked for bands including Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Cinderella and Jackyl when they were touring through the area. Aho has been featured in his own cooking shows, as well as a cooking segment on a Duluth television newscast. And, he was the star in nearly a dozen local PBS television segments entitled “Cooking with Kevin.” He was named a top chef in Duluth and was presented awards for the best chili and ribs in the city, as well.
Distinguished Chefs of Hereford Beef
at five-star restaurants in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minn., and eventually worked as a sous chef in Duluth, Minn., specializing in French and Italian cuisine. His talent and expertise quickly grew. And before long, restaurant owners sought Aho’s talents as a consultant and head chef to help open their new restaurants. For the past decade, Aho has shifted focus. He now specializes in assisting struggling restaurants — offering suggestions for improvements and often saving them from bankruptcy. “People find me when their restaurants are in danger of closing, or if they’re in turmoil with their employees,” Aho says. His talents aren’t only in restaurant management, however. He also is well known for his talents in the kitchen.
Eye on Izaty’s
Aho first came to Izaty’s in 2009, where his mission was to help turn the resort’s dining experience around. Izaty’s, situated on Mille Lacs Lake, is located about 80 miles from Minneapolis-Saint Paul. The resort features nearly 180 townhomes, a hotel, two 18-hole golf courses and one nine-hole course, in addition to pools, yachts and hot tubs. “We’re very family friendly,” Aho says. “We offer yacht launches and fishing, in addition to kids’ clubs and live music. We try to give families something to enjoy. Parents can have fun, and kids can play.” Under his leadership, Izaty’s was named The Official Best of Minnesota: Best Golf and Yacht Club last year. “In the past, Izaty’s was never known for being a destination spot for food, but now it is,” he says. “People come from the Cities or Duluth just to have that dinner experience.”
Hereford.org
When Aho joined Izaty’s three years ago, weddings were not a focus of the resort. However, after the first year of Aho leading the kitchen, nearly every weekend has been booked for nuptials. So, what makes the food so spectacular? It’s all about presentation and quality, Aho says.
Keeping up appearances When it comes to the dishes Aho prepares, presentation is everything. “People stand and take photos of their plates before they’ll eat their food,” Aho says. “When the servers bring out the food and put the center of the plate in front of them, diners say they can’t eat the food. It’s too beautiful.” And, Aho says, the CHB product allows for perfect presentations. “The steaks are always a beautiful red when they come out of the package,” he says. “They never have a discoloration.” No prepackaged sauces are used at Izaty’s. Everything is made to order. “We make all of our sauces from scratch — we don’t serve A1® or Heinz 57® Sauce,” Aho says. “We make duxelle, Diane and vilou sauces on the fly, with a pinch of this and that. Everything is as fresh as the steaks being cooked.” And, those steaks are top-quality, thanks to Aho’s choice last year to feature CHB on the menu. Last spring, Izaty’s did cuttings of CHB through its representative with Sysco. “I had been an Angus man for the past 20 years,” he says. “But, I had heard a lot about Certified Hereford Beef. I wanted the cuts to be compared apples to apples with Angus, with no seasonings or sauces. It was absolutely amazing.” Aho says CHB won, hands down, based on tenderness and flavor. “When you take a filet that’s not dry aged and can cut it with

a plastic butter knife, and it melts in your mouth — well, that’s one step below Kobe beef, in my opinion,” Aho says. “After that cutting, I looked at my co-owner, Jason, and he was floored by how amazing the filet and sirloin and New York strip were.” Dishes such as this CHB tenderloin, pan seared and served Aho says the high with a wild mushroom demi, often cause diners to pull out their cameras for a photo. Aho says he believes presentation is standards of CHB set it apart everything in his restaurant. from other beef programs. “Everything about it is The pride of the CHB title 100% better, quality wise, than Aho says being named the 2011 anything I’ve ever used,” he says. CHB Distinguished Chef is a “It’s amazing.” tremendous honor. And, Aho says, even his son, “I didn’t even think I had a Sebastian, can see the difference in chance, with the many people Certified Hereford Beef ® quality. involved,” he says. “This is the “We were grilling the other biggest honor I’ve ever received. It night, and he said, ‘Dad, I can tell floored me.

And, I love to tell Hereford’s story.” Many clients are not familiar with Hereford beef, he says. “Once, Hereford beef was only served to royalty,” Aho says. “Now, it’s making a comeback. With Angus beef, you’re never sure if you’re truly eating ‘Angus beef,’ with the crossbreeding allowed in those branded programs. Three or four times a weekend, diners ask what this wonderful beef is.” Aho says he’s happy to share the Hereford story — especially with his Mick Welch (left), Certified Hereford Beef LLC vice president of sales; and Bryan Lawrence (right), Lawrence newly awarded Certified Hereford Herefords, Coon Rapids, Minn.; present the 2011 Certified Beef Distinguished Chef title.

Upward & Onward
Certified Hereford Beef® is going nowhere but up — with sales, expansion and new staff members.
by Christy Couch Lee
W
hen it comes to the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) program, the sky’s the limit. And, in the past year, that’s exactly where the program is headed — nowhere but up. Sales and certifications are on an upward trend, and new staff members are prepared to help take the brand to the next level.
Dollars and cents CHB’s financial situation is bright. As of May net income for the program was more than $182,000, compared to a loss of more than $82,000 last year. To date, revenues are up 16%, compared to budget, and up 13%, compared to last year. Cattle identification numbers have remained constant in the past year. However, cattle certification numbers have increased dramatically. Greater Omaha Packing Co. Inc.’s certification numbers are 18% above budget and 32% greater than last year, as of March. With National Beef Packing Co. LLC, numbers are 9% above budget and nearly even with last year, to date. This activity results in a total increase in certification of 19%. This increase in certification has led to increased demand and pricing for Hereford-influenced feeder cattle, says Craig Huffhines, American Hereford Association (AHA) executive vice president.
140
/ July 2012
“In 2011 CHB influenced the marketability of over $200 million in beef sales, driving more than $8 million in added value back through the packing system,” he says. “Since its inception, more than 2.5 million carcasses have been certified through the program. There is no question that the AHA’s involvement in the feeding, packing and food distribution business has been challenging but worth the effort.” Every segment of the CHB program has increased in the past year. As of March value-added sales were up 36.6%, foodservice was up 30.5% and retail supermarket sales had increased 12.3%.
Demand in the right direction With revenue trending upward, it should come as no surprise that CHB demand is on a continuous growth pattern as well, says Mick Welch, CHB LLC vice president of sales. “In CHB foodservice, the commitment has been on a positive swing — from the distributors to their customer base coming back for more,” he says. “It’s all about repeat customer satisfaction — whether it be with retail or foodservice.” This continued demand can be attributed to CHB’s consistent quality, says Brad Ellefson, CHB LLC vice president of customer service. “Over the years, our CHB customers have praised the product for the consistency of the eating
quality,” he says. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a customer that has been on the program for a year or 15 years, which some of our older customers have been. The quality of this program is what keeps the consumer coming back. When store groups do customer surveys of the meat department, the category of beef seems to always score the highest. This tells me that the consumer is greatly satisfied with the quality of the CHB product.” Danny Wright, Sysco Nashville director of merchandising, agrees. He says Sysco and its customers have been pleased with CHB’s flavor and quality. “Mick Welch presented the product to me, and it sold itself,” Wright says. “The Hereford breed genetics are perfect for restaurant quality. It produces a great flavor, and a texture different from any other.” Bron Zimmerman, Kohl Wholesale meat buyer, says in its two-year relationship with CHB, Kohl Wholesale has been pleased with the product’s consistent quality, as well. “We were looking for a product that would serve our customers well,” he says. “It’s a limited source and consistent product. And CHB is domestic, coming from two Midwestern plants. Our customers like the quality of the product.” Ellefson says product demand varies by region. “If you’re looking at a couple of our customers, namely The Fresh Market or Federal Meats based out of Buffalo, N.Y., their customer base Hereford.org
goes after the middle meats such as strips, tenderloins and ribeyes,” he says. “Promoting a new item in a new market area — such as the tritip, which is well known on the West Coast but not so in the Midwest — can be very successful if handled properly. The Minnesota-based Coborn’s group introduced this very item, and it has continued to show growth in sales.” And, Ellefson says, a close relationship with CHB’s two packing plants and their brand managers, Nick Rausch from Greater Omaha and Mike Louderback with National Beef, has led to great CHB growth, as well.
Powerful partnerships
CHB staff in supporting the sales and marketing on a daily basis.” In addition, Huffhines says, quality distributors are essential for the growth and development of the CHB brand. “In the last three years, CHB has made great strides in developing distribution,” he says. “Distribution is the other key component in growing a brand. Companies like Kohl Wholesale, Sysco, Merchants Foodservice and others have allowed CHB to duplicate sales expertise in the marketplace by over tenfold. Distributors help support the regional focus of a brand and can do as much as anyone to drive sales.” In conjunction with regional distributors, CHB has participated in numerous food shows across the country.
Fresh growth Greensboro, N.C.-based specialty food and grocery chain The Fresh Market is one of the most exciting Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) retail clients today. In 2011, 14 stores featuring CHB opened, and 15 are projected to open before year’s end. In all, 116 The Fresh Market stores are open from coast to coast – with most featuring CHB, says Brad Ellefson, CHB LLC vice president of customer service. “This year, CHB will be featured in The Fresh Market stores expanding into new territory, including Wichita, Kan.; Tulsa, Okla.; Rogers, Ark.; and Roseville, Calif., to name a few,” Ellefson says. The Fresh Market maintains four primary departmental focuses: specialty grocery, fresh produce, fresh meats and deli/prepared foods. HW
Welch and Huffhines agree. CHB has a positive working experience with its two packing partners: National Beef with plants in Liberal Promoting the product Through these food shows and Dodge City, Kan., and Greater and when visiting with clients Omaha located in Omaha, Neb. Welch says these food shows help one-on-one, Welch says, the CHB “Both are located in the heart of to promote the brand to potential customer response has been beef country, where beef and feed retail and foodservice clients overwhelmingly positive. are plentiful,” Welch says. “We work and help to continually improve “Our clients see value not only to together to locate and target areas customer relations. them but also to their customers,” where CHB is not currently being “We participate in a number he says. “With CHB their customers distributed, both in the foodservice of food shows to support those are able to build brand equity and and retail arenas.” who distribute CHB product create repeat customer satisfaction, Huffhines says the relationship to independent retailers or to while setting their businesses apart with these two packers is critical to restaurants and institutions that from the competition.

New CHB staff With the goal of expanding CHB into new territories and increasing current customer relations, CHB welcomed two new staff members — Danielle Starr, Manawa, Wis., and Jill Johnson, Galva, Ill. — in May. “CHB growth has been impressive the last two years,” Huffhines says. “With growth in sales comes growth in resources available to hire support

staff. CHB has recently hired two young women with Hereford backgrounds, Hereford loyalty, and exceptional communication and marketing skills to help support the continued demands for customer support and new account development. I’m proud that we have the ability to bring young people into the company who have tremendous potential to immediately impact our business.” Welch says these two new staff members will increase the scope and reach of the CHB brand. ”While keeping our focus on new business and moving Certified Hereford Beef into markets where we lack distribution, we are fortunate to bring on Jill and Danielle,” Welch says. “They will not only maintain current relationships but also help to explore new opportunities within designated marketing areas, including the Southeast and Southwest.” Welch says Starr and Johnson will be
responsible for managing and serving existing customers and building new relationships with both foodservice and retail customers.
Dedication Welch says the CHB staff is dedicated to creating value for the customers, the distributors and, ultimately, the Hereford breeders. “We strive to create demand for Hereford-influenced cattle in the beef industry and to serving those ranchers and farmers who are dedicated to the Hereford breed,” he says. “And, I’m happy to say that more people are talking about CHB within the beef industry today — now more than ever before.” With a dedicated staff, increasing demand and revenues only trending upward, CHB continues to have a bright future. The sky truly is the limit. HW

Marguerite Gies is pictured holding a copy of “Colorado Hereford Heritage,” a book released in 1990 that’s dedicated to Hereford history in the Centennial State. Gies helped put together and publish the book.
A Love Affair
Herefords:
Marguerite Gies was recently recognized by the Colorado Hereford Women for her lifetime commitment to the Hereford breed. by Eric Brown
I
f there are two things quickly learned during discussions with Marguerite Gies, they’re that one breed of cattle sits closer to her heart than any other, and, above all, she hasn’t spent her life standing still — not at all. “And you know,” begins the Eaton, Colo.-area resident, now in her early 90s, leaning forward at her dining room table with a somewhat mischievous look on her face like she has a secret to tell. “I’ve still got some spunk left.” It would take plenty of “spunk” serving in all of the capacities in which Gies has served during her long life, which also have consisted of fulfilling duties out on a family ranch dotted with Herefords — the breed she loves more than any other. The last of her many roles over the years she finally let go of earlier this month — her post as secretary of the Colorado Hereford Auxiliary, a position she has served in since 1970, when she helped found the organization. After so many years, it was a recent blood clot in her lung and numerous
188
/ July 2012
subsequent hospital visits that led to Gies finally convincing herself it was time to slow down, she says. However, the auxiliary didn’t let Gies resign from those responsibilities quietly, as they honored her during a luncheon held at the Eaton Country Club on March 14. “It was such a wonderful surprise,” Gies says. “And it meant so much to me.” The dedication to Gies was an honor well deserved according to current auxiliary members. In addition to helping establish the Colorado Hereford Auxiliary and serving as its secretary since the organization began, Gies was the first president of the group, was a founding member of the American Hereford Women (AHW), served as that group’s first president, was an advisor for the junior Hereford association, was named an AHW Woman of the Year, joined the Weld County Cattlewomen in 1955 and also helped spearhead her family’s Hereford business.
“She’s just a remarkable person,” says Marlene Sidwell, a board member for the Colorado Hereford Auxiliary, an organization dedicated to promoting Herefords to the cattle-buying public and educating future leaders of the Hereford breed, doing so through a variety of activities and programs, including scholarships. “It’s amazing how much time, and money, she devoted to these organizations. You just can’t say enough about her.” Additionally, Gies has been a researcher of the state’s Hereford industry, leading efforts in putting together and publishing “Colorado Hereford Heritage,” a 200-plus-page book released in 1990, dedicated to the breed’s history in the Centennial State. Sitting in her home east of Eaton — just down the road from the ranch where she grew up — Gies reflected fondly on her years with the organizations, specifically on how her involvement with the AHW allowed her to travel to 13 other countries. She noted that those journeys were bittersweet because her husband, Harold, was too sick to join her then — even though the two had saved up money their entire married lives to one day do such traveling together. Harold Gies — “a city boy,” as Marguerite describes him, who, too, fell in love with the Hereford breed and helped operate the family ranch in addition to operating businesses in Greeley and is still the “kindest” man she ever met — died of pancreatic cancer in 1982. Gies says her lifelong commitment to local, state and national Hereford and ag education organizations began when her son, Jim, started showing the breed with Eaton’s FFA chapter. But her love for Herefords goes back even further than that to her youth, as her father raised those cattle. As Gies will tell you, Hereford bulls are more docile than others and are productive for longer, among other positive characteristics. “They’re just wonderful animals,” says Gies, who still lives on her own at the family ranch with assistance from family and medical professionals. The ranch is operated by Jim, who works full-time with the Western Livestock Journal near Denver. “I’m happy to have dedicated so much of my life to such wonderful animals.” HW Hereford.org

“There is no inherent advantage in efficiency, from increasing the size of cattle,” Hammack stated, urging less emphasis on individual performance and greater attention to herd output with consideration of the cost. “It has been estimated that the cow-calf segment requires two-thirds of the total nutrients consumed from conception to product. Economics dictate these nutrients must come primarily from relatively low-cost forages. The U.S. beef industry will not be sustainable if this is ignored,” Hammack added. Colorado State University’s Milt Thomas explained research that suggests increasing cow size, resulting from selection emphasis on growth traits, is associated with Milt Thomas reduced reproductive performance. Spanning several years, the studies were conducted in a challenging, low-quality forage environment. According to Thomas, the research illustrated how environment places limitations on production systems. “As cows got bigger, pregnancy rates declined. There wasn’t a huge effect, but there was a relationship — a slight opposing trend between cow size and pregnancy rate,” explained Thomas. “I don’t want to go back to an 800-lb. cow, but maturity curve is important to fertility. Early maturity is an economically important trait.”
Longevity Brood cow longevity is a desirable trait, because of its impact on efficiency and profitability. But increasing longevity through genetic Jim Sanders selection is difficult, said Texas A&M University animal scientist Jim Sanders, because its heritability is relatively low.

...BIF Highlights continued from page 191
National Beef Quality Audit While the results had not been released officially, BIF conferees were allowed an early look at results of the most Ron Gill recent National Beef Quality Audit. Texas AgriLife Extension Specialist Ron Gill presented highlights from the 2011 audit, explaining how previous audits, from 1991 through 2005, generally indicated the greatest quality concerns and challenges for the industry related to physical defects such as injection-site lesions, bruises, excess fat and toughness of meat. The latest audit, completed in 2011, suggests food safety is the chief concern across surveyed segments and particularly among retailers and food service managers. However, retailers and food service managers listed food safety as an industry strength as well as a weakness and threat. In previous audits, packers listed hide damage, carcass uniformity, quality grade and tenderness as their top concerns. Food safety topped the list this time, followed by eating satisfaction, the ratio of lean meat to fat and bone, how animals were raised, and genetics. Packers ranked food safety as the No. 1 threat to the industry. According to the audit, the weight of the average beef carcass is 818 lb. Nearly 94% of carcasses graded USDA Select or better, declining one percentage point from 2005. Sixty-one percent graded Choice or better. The incidence of bruised carcasses declined from that reported in the 2005 audit. Also speaking to the symposium audience was Norlyn Tipton, program quality manager for specialty meat companies of Norlyn Tipton Sysco Corporation, the nation’s largest foodservice distributor. According to Tipton, Sysco customers consider food safety a non-negotiable requirement. Perception is reality in the minds of consumers, he said, even though perceptions are not always based on fact. He urged beef producers to

/ July 2012
share their stories with the public, explaining what they do and why. Tipton said inconsistency of size and quality remains a problem for beef retailers. Generally, carcasses have become too big, and the variation in size of muscle cuts is too great. Smaller portion sizes are “in” among Sysco customers, and they have concerns about antibiotic use by the beef industry. Sysco advocates animal antibiotics for therapeutic use
only and frowns on performanceenhancement applications. The use of growth promotants is another customer concern, reflected in calls for “hormone-free” beef. Tipton believes consumer opposition to the use of beta agonists during the finishing phase could be coming. HW Editor’s Note: For more BIF highlights visit BIFConference.com. Next year’s symposium will be June 12-15 in Oklahoma City.
Hereford breeders honored Perks Ranch, Rockford, Ill., and Carswell-Nichols Herefords, Alton, Kan., were recognized at the 2012 Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Annual Meeting and Research Symposium. Perks was honored as a seedstock producer of the year nominee and Carswell-Nichols as a commercial producer of the year nominee. Perks Ranch was founded as a working horse and cattle ranch in 1961. Owned by Doug Perks and managed by Tom and Tammy Boatman, the ranch is located near Rockford, Ill. Averaging 36 inches of rain annually, the ranch includes rolling grasslands, cropland and protected forest. The Perks Ranch program has been built on Hereford genetics and included Red Angus cattle from 1999-2010. With approximately 120 registered Herefords and 75 commercial cows now, they are rebuilding the herd with a goal of reaching 150 Herefords and 100 commercial females. A dual calving season is utilized to diversify risk and take advantage of different marketing opportunities throughout the seasonal cattle cycles. Spring calving is within a strict 90-day window, ranging from Feb. 1 until April 30. Perks also has a 30-day fall calving season that spans from Sept. 1 until Sept. 30. Females are marketed through an annual fall production sale at the ranch, and in the spring they are sold through a partner’s sale in Oklahoma. Bulls are sold off the ranch by private treaty, as well as at their Oklahoma cooperator’s location. Carswell-Nichols Hereford Ranch is a livestock and grain operation located in north central Kansas near Alton. Harold Carswell, founder of the ranch, started the cow herd in 1935 with his first 4-H heifer. Since then, the operation has grown to include his daughter, Carol Nichols; son-in-law, Jim Nichols; two grandsons, Brock and Ryan; granddaughter-in-law, Carolyn; four great-grandchildren; and 300 head of Hereford and Angus cattle. Hereford cattle are the heart of the operation and remain the family’s true passion. Their philosophy is that Hereford cattle continue to be the benchmark against which other breeds are measured as cattlemen continue to seek optimum traits inherent in Herefords. Those traits, critical to survival in the cattle business, are exactly the same traits Carswell-Nichols Herefords offers its customers in today’s industry: fertility, reproductive performance, feed efficiency, optimum size and growth, and documented feedlot and carcass superiority. They believe in combining superior genetics, progressive management and industry partnerships to provide consumers a quality beef product and reputable breeding stock. Today, the Carswell-Nichols cow herd consists of one-third registered cows and twothirds commercial. The family raises 1,750 acres of wheat and 2,000 acres of fall crops that consist of corn, milo, soybeans, silage feed and cane hay. Cows are managed on 3,000 acres of native grass pasture. Joining Jim and Carol at the ranch is son Brock; his wife, Carolyn; and their four children. Son Ryan is a banker in Wichita, working in agri-finance, and is a huge influence in their marketing and keeping up-to-date on resources. Ryan also helps in the advertisement and marketing of the registered and commercial herds. The headquarters of their operation have been at the current location, the home of Jim and Carol, previously home to Harold and Pat, since 1950. HW Hereford.org

ince 1963 we have been performance testing for maternal traits and carcass merit. We demand excellence from our grass-raised cows. Our cows are given a 50day breeding season and our heifers have a 42-day season. With that aggressive plan and our extreme heat and humidity, we are asking a lot of our cows. When ultrasounding takes place, we find that after over 50 years of building strong cow families, we are not disappointed. Our recent stats are 140 cows checked and 132 bred for a 94% conception rate. We have been testing for six decades and we have never had a production sale. Our cows stay on the ranch until they and their progeny are proven worthy. You can find out more about our program on our website www.crookedlakeranch.com or check us out on Facebook.
