It’s the Hereford Way 58
Hereford breeders influence goes beyond the pasture. The Hereford family is one built on generations of courage, kindness and generosity. Beyond the Hereford-dotted pasture, cattlemen and women give of their time and resources to serve their country, community and the next generation.

World’s Perspective
A New ‘Edition’ to the Family

| July 2018
“Replacement female added to Hereford herd.” I deliberated using this headline while sipping a fourth cup of coffee. It was a good pun about my new job as the Hereford World editor, and, in a manner of speaking, it technically represented the “Hereford Way.” The sensible side of my brain — the one concerned about making a good first impression on Hereford World readers — was urging its delirious counterpart to find a better alternative. It was a bit tacky, and I was comparing myself to a heifer, however invaluable those may be. What really steered me away from that cheesy headline is this: that phrase did not do justice to what the “Hereford Way” stands for. The 95th Annual Herd Bull and Reference Edition reflects more than just quality Hereford cattle — it reflects the quality people who make our breed superior. The “Hereford Way” represents the dedication and sense of community Hereford breeders share worldwide. It is almost cliché I joined Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) in time to finalize the issue themed “It’s the Hereford Way.” Although I learned a lot about the beef industry during my internship with Certified Angus Beef, I was more familiar with Angus than with the Hereford industry. As I immediately got started editing features for this issue, it could not have been more fitting that I was simultaneously learning about the people and cattle behind the Hereford breed. I would be lying if I said I was not nervous to join the HPI staff as the new editor less than a month before the biggest issue of the year went to print. The timing was certainly intimidating, but my gut feeling said everything was as it should be. Always trust your gut. The same support and kindness I was reading about was demonstrated by the staff at the American Hereford Association
(AHA) headquarters. Hardly five minutes into my first day I felt like part of the family. The AHA team was welcoming, encouraging, patient and — to my relief — always down for pranks. They made me feel right at home, and outgoing editor Julie Mais made sure this issue was running perfectly before I took the wheel. My timing could not have been more perfect.
In this issue The stories in the 2018 July issue are ones of grit, sacrifice, faith, hope and love. Read about the resilience of the Ingrams as they confront autism (Page 106), and the appreciation for ranching and faith the Reinholds bestow in upcoming generations (Page 86). The Vanier family’s generosity and support of the Hereford Youth Foundation of America is second to none, and their willingness to give is a quality they share with the Ullman family (Page 118). It is a privilege to pay tribute to our nation’s heroes who fight for our freedom and safety, like veteran Jim McCown (Page 74) and firefighter Jim McDougald (Page 64). I could not help but feel a little homesick as I read McDougald’s account of the wildfires that lit up Napa and Sonoma Counties. As Kendra Davis shares in her first Communication’s Corner (Page 32), “people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.” Call it fate or call it luck, but I am glad to start off learning the “why” of the Hereford industry. In just a few weeks you all have sold me on your “why,” and I look forward to helping you sell your “what” in future issues. It is truly an honor to become a member of the Hereford family, and I hope I can make this year’s change to Hereford World as successful as last year’s. On behalf of the entire HPI staff, we thank you for your support and hope you enjoy this issue. May your day be bright and your smile brighter. Hereford.org

Farmers and ranchers step up to help their neighbors.
Jack Ward is the executive vice president of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at jward@hereford.org.
I am not sure where the old saying “lazy days of summer” came from because, in my experience, summers are anything but lazy. Many of you are busy with cattle work, summer sports leagues, preparing for county fairs, making hay, finishing up planting, putting the final touches on your entries for the Junior National Hereford Expo, or a combination of those, and a few other things on top of them. As my sons have grown out of many of these activities, it gives my wife, Mary Ann, and me time to reflect and to wonder where time has gone. I remember the days when we volunteered for various local activities and how time consuming and fun it was to stay involved. That just seems to be the way it is in rural America. It always amazes me to see how neighbors step up to fill in and help each other out in the time of need. We see examples of this everywhere we turn. In this issue of the Hereford World, the theme is “It’s the Hereford Way,” and you will see examples of how families in the Hereford breed step up by giving of their time and resources.

Over the past few years, we have seen devastating fires, storms, floods and other natural disasters that have challenged us and, yet, have shown the commitment not only of our Hereford family but of our rural neighbors and friends to help others get back on their feet. It was recently reported that in western Oklahoma, cattle operation losses would exceed $26 million this spring. In the last year alone, we have seen unbelievable fires from the Southwest through the Midwest to California and places between that have taken lives, livestock and thousands of acres of pasture and
fence. It does not take long after one of these disasters before the phones start ringing and farmers and ranchers everywhere are looking for ways they can help. This willingness to help is not limited to just the adults, because we see youth organizations like FFA organizing trips to help rebuild fences. Others may organize an online auction to raise money to send to areas in need. I am not sure I could count the number of trailers I have seen on the road that were hauling hay to areas that needed some extra to get through the worst of times. This winter was brutal on our friends in the upper Midwest. During some of my phone calls with breeders, they shared stories of how they would dig out of a snow storm to get to the cows and get them fed, just to see the wind and storms come through overnight and the process would start again the next day. During these calls, I could hear they were tired, yet determined, to keep moving and to get things done. Not only are these disasters tough from a financial standpoint, but they are tough on emotions and stamina. This is what truly amazes me and highlights the importance of stepping up to do what we can in these types of situations. We all understand that the agriculture community has a task unknown to many others — to feed a world population. Ranchers and farmers are unique in that they face this challenge without a need for praise or recognition. With that said, I want to personally thank all of you. We all understand that we would not trade our rural lives with anyone. An agriculture community is a great place to raise a family, stay connected with basic values and roots, and, most importantly, keep ourselves surrounded by great people. Hereford.org

Performance Matters
Profit Potential
by Shane Bedwell
The American Hereford Association will make a slight change in profit indexes to show potential profit differences between animals on an economic scale. I want to wish you all a blessed Fourth of July. Independence Day is a great time to honor the sacrifiices so many Americans made for this country. I hope you get some time with friends and family to celebrate the values laid out by the Founding Fathers.
A change in profit indexes

The American Hereford Association will implement a slight change to the profit ($) indexes Sept. 3. This change has nothing to do with the economic assumptions or component traits that go into the relative weightings for these indexes. Rather, it changes how the $Index is expressed and, more importantly, changes how to communicate the difference between two animals for a specific index. Last December, we introduced the updated genetic evaluation and added three key economically relevant traits into the $Indexes: Carcass Weight (CW), Dry Matter Intake (DMI) and Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF). These traits significantly drive profitability, which resulted in some reranking when comparing the current indexes to the old indexes. Including CW, DMI and SCF traits increased the absolute value of these indexes dramatically. Currently, the indexes are scaled and, consequently, they do not reflect the true economic values. This was done to maintain familiarity between the old indexes and the current indexes we have today.
Examples of new $Index values:
10
CHB$ Sire A: $130 Sire B: $100 Difference: $30
Explanation — Sire A will sire progeny that should be $30 more profitable when fed out and marketed on a dual-based grid when compared to the progeny of Sire B, if comparably mated.
BMI$ Sire A: $450 Sire B: $300 Difference: $150
Explanation — Sire A will sire daughters that are $150 more profitable over their lifetime due to their added longevity and/or their ability to raise more profitable offspring when compared to daughters of Sire B, when comparably mated.
| July 2018
Going forward, the three $Indexes will be expressed on an economic scale showing differences between animals for their profit potential in respective scenarios. For example, an animal currently needs a value of 37 to be in the top 1% for Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$). The change of scale will increase the 37 value to approximately 130. When the index is left unscaled, it shows the major impact CW and DMI actually have on profit. Additionally, when comparing two animals on the new scale, a $1 difference actually means $1. For example, when comparing an animal valued at CHB$ 130 to one valued at CHB$ 100, the resulting $30 difference means the animal valued at $130 will be $30 more profitable when marketed under the CHB$ definition. The same applies for the Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) and the Brahman Influence Index (BII$), but the economic scale is substantially bigger. The increase is a result of these two indexes predicting a female’s profit potential over her lifetime, whereas CHB$ predicts profit potential per year. Today, animals in the top 1% for BMI$ need a value of 33, which will increase to approximately 450 using the updated scale. This value is substantially different, but it is expressed over a female’s lifetime and shows how fertility contributes to potential profit. BII$ will be on a very similar scale.
The take-home message A change to the $Indexes will not cause any reranking of sires or dams for the respective indexes. The only difference will be interpreting the new numeric values. Animals currently ranked in the top percentile for the breed will still rank in the top percentile Sept. 3. To the left are examples to help familiarize yourself with the index values. Hereford.org

“What’s New?” is a column designed to keep you in-the-know about Hereford happenings. You can also sign up for Hereford Headlines, a weekly electronic newsletter from the American Hereford Association (AHA), and additional Hereford news by sending an email to info@hereford.org. Archived issues are posted at Hereford.org.
AHA introduces Maternal Advantage program The American Hereford Association (AHA) recently launched the Maternal Advantage program — a genetically verified program that will be used to identify premium replacement females. This new female-focused program is designed to take advantage of hybrid vigor by capitalizing on Hereford genetics. The program generates females with added longevity, more docility, increased fertility and more profit per year. This program can be utilized by producers using Hereford bulls on British-based or Brahman-based females in their breeding program. To take advantage of the program, producers must verify that eligible females are sired by registered Hereford bulls. Participating bull batteries must rank in the top 50% of the breed for Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) if used on British-based females or the top 50% of the breed for
Brahman Influence Index (BII$) if used on Brahman-based females. Both of these maternallyfocused indexes are geared to identify Hereford bulls that will be profitable when used in a rotational cross with mature commercial Angus-influenced or Brahman-influenced females. Both BMI$ and BII$ have significant weight on the AHA’s Sustained Cow Fertility expected progeny difference, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. They also have an emphasis on growth, efficiency and end-product merit for nonretained females. For more information about the Maternal Advantage program, contact Trey Befort at tbefort@herefordbeef.org, or visit Hereford.org/maternal-advantage.
AHA seeking Century and Golden Breeders Each year the AHA recognizes families who have been raising Hereford cattle for generations at the Hereford Honorees Reception
during the AHA Annual Meeting and Conference. The Century Breeder recognition honors families who have been in the Hereford business for 100 years, and the Golden Breeder honors families raising Herefords for 50 years. To nominate a Century or Golden Breeder, contact Shane Bedwell, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement at sbedwell@hereford.org or call 816-842-3757.
Calling all Hereford females The AHA is seeking to obtain more genomic profiles on Hereford cows. The Cow DNA Project offers breeders the opportunity to DNA test their entire cow herd inventory for the special price of $20 per cow when using a Tissue Sampling Unit (TSU) for DNA collection until Dec. 31, 2018. To participate in the Cow DNA Project, contact AHA Records Supervisor Tena Martin at 816-8423757 or tmartin@hereford.org. continued on page 14...

Customer Service Tips and Tricks
by Laura Loschke
Upcoming deadlines The early bird deadline for fall inventories is July 15. Fall 2018 herd inventories were generated last month for Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) members. Herd inventory will be accessible via mail or MyHerd.org. Fall inventories turned in by July 15 will receive a 25-cent-per-head discount on every female maintained on the inventory. Inventories turned in between July 16 and Sept. 1, 2018, will be charged the normal $5.50 per cow, $3 per first-time heifer and $1.50 per bull (optional). Any inventories turned in after September 1 will incur the $2-per-head surcharge. Any dam whose offspring will be registered and will have recorded weaning performance data through the Whole Herd TPR program must be listed on the current inventory. After billing the fall inventory, don’t forget about the great deal the American Hereford Association (AHA) is offering to DNA test the entire cow herd. The AHA is striving to get more cows genotyped to promote the implementation of genomic information for maternal traits such as sustained cow fertility (SCF), milk (MM) and calving ease maternal (CEM). A special price of $20 per head to test every female in the already-billed inventory of your choice is being offered through the AHA to attain this goal.

DNA testing the cow herd can help Hereford breeders manage and market cattle with more confidence. Having all the cows’ DNA on file can also help with determining parentage of future calves, along with making better-informed breeding decisions. This special $20-per-head price won’t last long. It’s available only until Dec. 31, 2018. Contact Tena Martin at tmartin@hereford.org to get started.

Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show Lydell Meier, Clinton, Tenn. The Board voted unanimously to approve the slate of judges as presented.
Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) Tommy Mead, chairman, was joined by HPI staff and updated the Board on business, editorial and staff. The Board was also updated on the new seedstock publications partnership, which is an agreement between AHA, Red Angus, Charolais, Shorthorn and Simmental associations to sell corporate advertising. The corporations have the opportunity to reach more customers through this partnership.
Breed improvement Pete Atkins, chairman, was joined by staff members and Matt Spangler, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, to review current and future genetic evaluation topics. A motion was passed unanimously to release new Maternal Advantage programs to support the use of Hereford bulls in both Brahman-influenced and British-influenced commercial cows. These programs will join the Premium Red Baldy program to support the use of Hereford bulls in commercial programs. The Board also unanimously passed a motion to move toward real-dollar value reporting of the profit ($) Indexes. This change will occur in late summer of 2018. The Board passed a motion by majority vote to adopt a Platinum TPR™ (Total Performance Records) program. This program will be implemented in 2020, reflective of the 2018 calf crop. Platinum TPR will have the same requirements as the Gold TPR program, but it will
also require that 85% of the calves with weaning weights submitted will need to be genotyped. The Board unanimously passed a motion that for a bull to be recognized with the Certified Hereford Beef Sire Award, it must be in the top 25% of the breed for Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) and have a 0.25 accuracy for both ribeye area (REA) and marbling (MARB) expected progeny differences (EPDs).
Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) Jim Mickelson, CHB president, was joined by CHB staff to report that through the fiscal year, more pounds of CHB product have been sold compared to last fiscal year. The staff also reported that the CHB website, CertifiedHerefordBeef.com, has been updated to focus on consumer information and that new marketing materials have been produced for licensed accounts. Amari Seiferman, CHB general manager and chief operating officer, reported that Ty Ragsdale, Franklin, Tenn., has been hired as a regional brand manager and will work in the Eastern states.
Marketing and communications Kyle Pérez, chairman, was joined by staff and shared analytics of the various social media platforms along with the impression of the latest national ad campaign, “The Bald-Faced Truth About Hereford Genetics.” A motion was unanimously passed to have staff work on a marketing summit to be hosted June 3-4, 2019, in Kansas City, Mo.

“CHB Bites” is a column designed to keep you in-the-know about the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) program. To get involved with CHB on social media, search Certified Hereford Beef on Facebook and Pinterest, @certifiedherefordbeef on Instagram and @crtherefordbeef on Twitter.
Representatives from Kohl Wholesale enjoyed learning more about the cattle behind the brand they have sold for more than a decade.
Certified Hereford Beef Team Hosts Trainings for Partners Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) hosted several important guests for farm-to-fork tours and CHB University trainings May 1-3 in Kansas City, Mo. Representatives from Kohl Wholesale, Quincy, Ill., and Chef Jonathan Scinto, Long Island, N.Y., visited with the CHB team to gain in-depth understanding of the CHB brand and how it benefits restaurateurs by offering differentiation and a competitive advantage against other beef brands. “Promoting Certified Hereford Beef is one of our strategic
priorities as a company,” says Aaron Kerkhoff, Kohl Wholesale director of sales. “We’ve had Certified Hereford Beef for over 10 years and have sold more than 10 million lb. It’s our brand. We love cutting Certified Hereford Beef against the other brands out there because we’ve found it helps us stay more competitive and keeps us giving quality products to our customers. It is by far the most tender and flavorful beef out there.”
The farm-to-fork tour segment of the training is vital to educate foodservice sales managers and restaurant chefs on how Hereford cattle for the CHB program are sustainably and humanely raised. Each group toured a different Hereford operation within close proximity to the Kansas City area including Schu-Lar Herefords, LeCompton, Kan.; Frank Hug and Sons, Scranton, Kan.; and Doss Herefords, Smithville, Mo. “I believe as a chef you have to know where every ingredient you use and prepare with comes from,” Scinto says. “The farm-to-fork concept can mean so many things to so many chefs, but when I was able to go to the Hereford ranch, it gave me an opportunity to see the best cattle around and learn how they are raised, giving me more knowledge about the beef so I can educate my clients.” Kaylen Alexander is the director of marketing and communications for Certified Hereford Beef.

Youth Movement
Looking into the Rearview
by Steven Green
There is a certain feeling that follows individuals as they “grow up.” Each year we become older, wiser and closer to the dreams we are chasing. However, on the day we add another digit to our age, we never feel any older than the day, weeks or months before. Just like that, life seems to fly by in the blink of an eye. We really do not see how far we have come until we reach pinnacles in our life. Middle school, high school, college, careers, marriage and children bring us to moments where we cannot help taking a trip down memory lane. As I come to the close of my career as a National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) member and director, I want to look back at the choices that determined the past 10 years.

Choose the breed My love for Hereford cattle started at first sight. Cliché as it sounds, I was overwhelmed with an immediate love for the breed. Ten years ago I was “learning to walk” in regards to showing cattle. I knew very little about selection, nutrition and daily care, but I did know I loved cattle and would own a Hereford one day. Thanks to an opportunity afforded by my parents, I made the decision to purchase a Hereford heifer. This choice led me to find the true meaning of responsibility and diligence. It also led to my first experience of debt, but, thankfully, the Bank of Mom and Dad offered an extremely low interest rate. Between show premiums and weed eating fences, it was not long until the heifer was paid for, and I was the proud owner of a red and white beauty. My family sacrificed money and time so we could travel all over the state showing this heifer. Fast forward a couple of years, my family and I marched north from Kentucky to Indianapolis to have our eyes opened to a whole new world — the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). It was more than we could have ever imagined. The cattle, the people and the atmosphere quickly accelerated my passion to raise Hereford cattle.
Choose to lead There was a group of young adults walking around in maroon coats, and I carefully watched how they interacted with fellow juniors. In my eyes, our junior board members were near superheroes. That week I made the choice to one day become a junior board member. Finally, the time came to run for a junior board position. The first year that I ran provided a much-needed learning curve.
The first candidacy was difficult. I quickly discovered I was not prepared to become a leader of one of our world’s greatest breeds just yet. After the awards ceremony at the JNHE in 2014, I made another choice to rise above defeat and to run for the junior board once more. A year rolled around in the blink of an eye, and we found ourselves in Grand Island, Neb. This time the junior board campaign was much more relaxed. Although I did not know it then, I was a much better candidate the second year. That JNHE ended with excitement as I reached my goal and put on the maroon jacket for the first time.
Choose your future Here we are almost three years later, headed back to Grand Island for JNHE 2018. The maroon jacket has taken me far and wide. It has provided a Hereford family that is, indeed, second to none. As directors, the people we meet each have a different story full of many tribulations, pinnacles and choices. Some have the opportunity to farm or ranch full-time, while others have found a career that supports their passion for the Hereford breed. With so much diversity, I find it incredible how we all unite under one common goal. The Hereford family, as well as the cattle, truly are built for the long haul. As we tackle the future, I want to share some wisdom from Alan Ashley-Pitt, who observed, “You have two choices in life: You can dissolve into the mainstream, or you can be distinct. To be distinct, you must be different. To be different, you must strive to be what no one else can be.” My wife, Lauren, and I can’t wait for the JNHE this summer and wish everyone safe travels to Grand Island. Hereford.org
A Bittersweet Goodbye by Brooke Jensen
It is hard to believe three years have already gone by since I first put on the famous maroon jacket. After a long-awaited day in Grand Island, Neb., my older brother, Brady, handed down the jacket to me as tears of joy ran down my face. I have thought about this article for quite some time now — what I should talk about, and what memories I should share, as the realization of retiring from the junior board stings my heart. A huge part of my life has been dedicated to the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA). My fondest memories, my favorite experiences and my closest friends have all resulted from my years of involvement in the NJHA. While I could write 10 pages about my time with the NJHA and serving as a member of its board of directors, what I really want to talk about is choices.
Choose a challenge Every day we make decisions that affect our lives and those around us. Choices are around every corner and through every door. Some choices are harder to make than others; some, more personal and influential. I made three choices as a director that are at the forefront of my mind, and these are the three choices I ask you to make, too. First, choose to challenge yourself. I have spoken on this topic several times throughout my term as a director. It is what I have strived to help others do through this role. Whether a junior member is 7 or 18, there are always opportunities to challenge yourself — to make yourself a better cattleman, person and leader for this industry. Challenge yourself to continue to make breeding decisions that will keep Hereford genetics a vital part of this business. Push yourself to work hard to meet your goals inside and outside the ring. Get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself through participation, because the skills and friendships gained through involvement in this membership Hereford.org
are immeasurable. While my fellow board members and I have had countless memories together during the past few years, our first goal was always to challenge one another in the betterment of our breed association.
Choose to support I have been so honored to stand next to the past and present board members of the last three years. Each of them has been remarkable, inspiring and passionate about the growth of this breed and young people — which leads me to my next key choice. Choose to give back. Is there anything better than seeing a smile on a young person’s face? I think not. This is why I decided to run for the board of directors. I remember skating around a speed rink in Milwaukee, holding the hand of then board member Heather Thomas. I watched Heather all week and concluded I wanted to be at least half the sweet, caring and strong leader she was. It was the little things she did for me that inspired me to extend the same kindness to another member. This world is full of opportunities and, as you seize those opportunities, always remember who helped provide them. Remember who made a difference, big or small, in your life. One day you will be presented a chance to return that opportunity, and I hope you choose to do that. Though I am
retiring from serving the NJHA as a director, I will spend the rest of my life supporting and giving back to the association that means so much to me.
Choose gratitude Finally, choose to say thank you along the way. There is a reason to be thankful every day. Thank your parents and grandparents, your advisors and your peers. It is a blessing to be a part of this great industry, to transform the world through agriculture and to be a part of this big Hereford family. I cannot thank the junior membership, Amy and Bailey, Jack and all the other AHA staff enough for making my time on the board a oncein-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Sue, for always believing in me and reminding me why this time in my life is so special. Thank you, Mom, Dad, Brady, Ben and Eddie, for taking care of my cattle, for putting up with me and for supporting me in all things. I am forever grateful I chose to apply for the board of directors. Serving the NJHA has been a ride of a lifetime. There were a lot of hard decisions to make in the midst of changes, new contest development and handling record-breaking numbers. But knowing my fellow board members and I have challenged ourselves to make meaningful decisions that will benefit junior members made it all worthwhile. So today, I choose to say thank you. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity.

Faces of Leadership testimonials Jarrett Breber “Some things I acquired are better communication skills. For example, at the ropes course at Kansas State, we needed to communicate and strategize a way to beat the challenge we had to face. This helps in everyday life to help figure out challenges that we might face day to day and find ways to get around them.” Jacob Toombs “I gained a lot of leadership skills and learned about the Hereford industry from people that have spent their entire life with cattle. Faces of Leadership has helped me get out of my comfort zone, because there are people from all over the country, and we all have different backgrounds and styles of beef operations. This helps me learn how to talk to others and make friends with people you are not familiar with at all.” Sarah Lawrence “The best leadership skill I gained was to grab your worst fears by the horns. I am most excited for who will be there, who I will meet, what I get to learn and the skills I will develop.” Allie Schrammel “’Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.’ I have carried this quote with me, and remember it every time I have to get out of my comfort zone. I look forward to arriving at our destination and touring all the places we go.” Hereford.org

Foundation’s The Foundation 1 Club Sets Stage for Focus Future Growth by Ray Ramsey
The Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) has come a long way since its inception in 2000 — at that time listing total assets of $253,000. As stated in a press release Oct. 22, 2002, “No other organization has the opportunity to support our young Hereford breeders more than HYFA!” Little did we know, this claim would go on to be the understatement of the century. With current HYFA assets listed at more than $3 million, the foundation now houses not only scholarship funds but also the American Hereford Association (AHA) research funds, the monies and expertise to produce the industry’s largest national junior show, plus funds the impressive Faces of Leadership Conference. HYFA provides not only an educational benefit to the Hereford youth movement but also a benefit to the entire breed. The HYFA board of directors tries its best to design programs that will encourage individuals to give to and to support the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), the Faces of Leadership Conference, scholarship or research — in whatever amount they feel is appropriate.
program in 2017 called the Foundation 1 Club, providing many breeders the opportunity to contribute to their area of interest through their production sale. This program is designed so Hereford breeders may join an elite club to fund HYFA, based upon the gross amount of their production sale. As the name indicates, the donor commits to giving 1% of the gross amount of their sale to HYFA. This program is easy to understand and easy to implement. An initial gift from Tim and Kara Coleman at Sierra Ranches in California has already been received, and we want to work with you as you make plans for your upcoming production sales. This initial gift prompted an investment from the AHA to donate 1% of both the Mile High Night National Hereford Sale in Denver as well as 1% of the Ladies of the Royal Sale in Kansas City, Mo. The Foundation 1 Club has potential to be one of the biggest driving forces going forward to support educational platforms for Hereford youth.

box. This spring we were excited to have Hereford Prep Collection, Refugio, Texas, join the club. Hereford Prep is a stylish clothing line for livestock enthusiasts. Hereford Prep was created to provide unique opportunities for young people to learn more about operating a business. Its young interns are the main drivers behind the business, which provides them with not only job experience but also scholarship opportunities. Its interns design the clothing line and model and sell the products across the country. You can find them at many of the major stock shows across the United States, including the 2018 JNHE in Grand Island, Neb. Visit its online shop at HerefordPrep.com. It is hoped Hereford breeders will keep the momentum going by joining the “club.” Please contact Amy Cowan, AHA director of youth activities and foundation, at acowan@hereford.org for more details.

Communication’s Corner
Start with Why
by Kendra Davis
I read a book recently by Simon Sinek titled “Start With Why.” In the book Sinek uses real-world examples to demonstrate how great leaders in history used communication in different ways than what we naturally assume is the “right” way of reaching our customers. The basic principle Sinek uses to convey his message is that if you or your company wants to inspire others, you should always communicate “why” first, then follow-up with “how” and “what.” In 1963 Martin Luther King Jr. gave what would be known as one of the most famous speeches of all time, “I Have a Dream,” in front of 250,000 people. Why was this speech so influential not only during the civil rights movement but also to U.S. history itself? Many Americans were fighting for civil rights at that time, so what made MLK different from those individuals? Why did so many follow him instead of other leaders? He had a dream, he had beliefs and he shared them with people who became his followers. But they weren’t following MLK himself; they were following his dreams and beliefs. They were following his “why.”
Not what, but why

start with “why” when discussing their livestock. Customers are more likely to buy cattle from a program in which they believe. It is really easy to talk about the cattle themselves, but why are you in business? Why do you raise Herefords? In his book Sinek says, “People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.” This could not
People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.
”
— Simon Sinek be truer in the cattle business, especially when it comes to developing repeat customers. Think about it — why do people continually buy their cattle from the same place? Yes, they most likely factor in things like genetics and structure. However, when it comes down to the final decisionmaking factor on where to buy the year’s bulls or replacement females, the decision is often based mostly on the “why” of the operation. As time goes on, customers get to know the people behind the cattle they purchase. More importantly, the buyer starts to understand why the producers make certain decisions. It makes buyers more comfortable with making purchases, especially if the farm or ranch exemplifies similar beliefs to their business. But what if you could share your “why” without customers having to figure it out by themselves? When talking about your business, start with “why.” Tell prospective customers why you do what you do. Tell them what you believe in when it comes to your farm or ranch, and tell them what you aspire to do in the future.
If customers understand the “why” behind the operation, their purchasing decision will be that much easier. Remember, people don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.
Goals The goal of this column is to provide Hereford breeders with different techniques and ideas behind communications and marketing. The American Hereford Association (AHA) has numerous resources available that should be utilized to their fullest potential. Both communications and marketing are great tools to use within your operation, whether you have five cows or 500 cows. There are many ways to reach your target audience, so you have to find the channel that works best for you and use it. What works for one person may not necessarily work for others, and that is OK. The communications team at AHA is here to help you discover more about your “how,” “what” and, most importantly, your “why.”
Homework If you are familiar with TED Talks, you may have seen Sinek’s talk “How Great Leaders Inspire Action.” The video is the third most popular TED Talk of all time and now has more than 38 million views. If you don’t have time to read Sinek’s book, I highly encourage you to take 18 minutes of your day to watch the video, which gives a brief summary of the mantra behind his book. If you are anything like me, you will walk away from it with a whole different perspective on how you communicate with others about your business.

Enjoying Their Hereford Journey
This South Dakota family has found fun, friendship — and a few big awards — via their involvement in the Hereford breed.

R
alph Waldo Emerson famously wrote, “Life is a journey, not a destination.” It’s a quote that encourages savoring the unexpected twists and turns along life’s path — and for the Mike and Carie Stiefvater family of Salem, S.D., involvement in the Hereford breed has brought enjoyment to their journey. This has included having their children participate in the 2015 and 2016 Junior National Hereford Expos at Grand Island, Neb., and Madison, Wis., as

well as earning several awards, including the reserve champion individual commercial steer in the first National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout in 2017. The Stiefvater family includes four children: Hadley, 16; Ella, 14; Colton, 10; and Skylar, 5. Mike owns and operates Salem Veterinary Service, where Carie and their children are often found assisting. Additionally, the family is active in 4-H and FFA, raising and showing livestock,
participating in judging and leadership contests, and conducting scientific research projects. Carie grew up with Maine Anjou cattle. Once she married Mike, he insisted on raising Angus. Their veterinary clients and kids drew them to starting a small herd of Herefords.
Hereford start Carie tells that about five years ago, a client encouraged their then 10-year-old daughter, Hadley, to apply for a heifer grant offered by the South Dakota Hereford Hereford.org
Association. Hadley received the grant, which created the opportunity for her to purchase her own Hereford heifer at the South Dakota Excellence Sale. She purchased a young heifer consigned by Steve and Lori Repenning from Mitchell. Her younger sister Ella decided she also wanted a Hereford, so a second heifer was purchased from the Repennings, and the two girls began their Hereford journey. They showed their heifers and the following year purchased two more Hereford heifers to show. But, because the Stiefvaters don’t calve until May, they soon realized it was challenging to show heifers that would continue to be productive with their herd. Thus, they then switched to showing Hereford steers, and by this time Colton was old enough to begin showing, as well. The Stiefvaters have selected steers from Delaney Herefords at Lake Benton, Minn., and Gerlach Herefords, operated by Jeff and Donna Gerlach at nearby Stickney, S.D. This transition to Hereford steers in their path of life has created a few more fun opportunities.
Special steers In 2015, Colton’s first year in 4-H, he named his Hereford steer Lujan, after his favorite South Dakota State University (SDSU) football player at the time, Zach Lujan, the quarterback. Lujan (the steer) grew to be more than 1,800 lb., and had a 4.1 rate of gain, which earned him the rate of gain award at the 2015 South Dakota State Fair. At that event, Randy Daniels was the 4-H steer show judge, and he admired Lujan so much that he requested a special photo with Colton and the steer after judging the show. Lujan also earned an invitation from SDSU to the Beef Bowl Football game on campus in September, where he was on display — and Colton was all smiles. After that experience, Colton has continued to name his 4-H Hereford.org
Colton and Lujan had a special bond from the start — captured in this third place JNHE photography contest entry by his sister, Hadley.
steers after members of the SDSU football team — for 2018 he has Coach Stiegelmeier in the lot. Hadley also had a special connection to Lujan. A photo she snapped of Lujan and Colton placed third in the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) photo contest in Grand Island. Meanwhile, Ella’s close-up photo she took of a Hereford’s eye earned her first place honors in the photo contest. Ella has also found herself in the winner’s circle on occasion with her Hereford steers. Of her Hereford experiences Ella says, “There are a lot of good contests [at JHNE]…I like entering photos, the marketing contest and
Ella enjoys entering photos such as “Eye of the Bovine,” in the JNHE photography contest.
the quiz bowl. You gain a lot of industry knowledge.” Mom Carie adds, “Our favorite thing about doing activities in the Hereford breed is that it’s like family. It is competitive during the day, but continued on page 40...

Hadley Stiefvater showed her steer, Snelling, at the 2016 JNHE in Madison, Wis.
at the end of the day there’s a family atmosphere. Even if you only have 10 Hereford cows, everyone welcomes you to the group.”
One more triumph In 2016-17 another special Hereford steer impacted the Stiefvater family. This steer, who had the nickname Barney, wasn’t expected to make a difference — but he did. He was the progeny from one of the first Hereford heifers Ella purchased from the Repennings and was sired by a bull from Gerlach genetics. Ella recalls he wasn’t a healthy calf, and by October 2016, they didn’t anticipate he’d make a show steer. She was initiating a science fair project for FFA and intended
to study if supplementing weaned calves with Amaferm® (a BioZyme® supplement) for 30 days enhanced their performance. Ella wasn’t sure she wanted Barney in her project because of his lackluster health history. But, as she randomly assigned calves to the feeding trial by running them through the chute, Barney came through and was assigned to the Amaferm trial. Ella was worried he’d be an outlier in her data, but her veterinary father told her science is science and Barney needed to stay in the trial. She reports that she was surprised because after two-weeks on the supplement, Barney began to bloom. Ultimately, her research trial showed that all the supplemented calves were heavier and healthier after 30 days than their nonsupplemented counterparts. Incidentally, Ella’s agriscience project won the state FFA Animal Systems Division 1 and qualified to be presented at the 2017 National FFA Convention. Meanwhile, Barney wasn’t done yet. The Stiefvater family learned of the inaugural NJHA Fed Steer Shootout contest being held with steers going on feed at Tabor, Iowa. They decided that Colton should enter Barney. Therefore, in January 2017, Barney and two other Stiefvater entries were put on feed at Gregory Feedlots to compete against about 70 other steers enrolled in the contest.
Colton Stiefvater, Salem, S.D., consigned the reserve champion individual commercial steer in the 2017 NJHA Fed Steer Shootout. Pictured (l to r) are Kevin Shultz, 2018 AHA president; Colton Stiefvater; Steven Green, NJHA chairman; Trey Befort, AHA director of commercial programs; and Annah Dobson, National Hereford Queen.

From January through September, Colton and his family then had opportunities to watch webinars and track performance data, and to learn about the harvest process. Carie notes, “It was a great opportunity for our kids to learn that the industry is much more than just showing cattle.” The steers in the contest were harvested in September, and in October, Colton was invited to travel to Kansas City, Mo., to learn the results. Mike, Hadley and Ella were at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis at the time, so Carie, Colton and Skylar made the Kansas City road trip with Jeff Gerlach. Carie says they didn’t tell Colton where they were going, but when they pulled into Kansas City about noon, his face lit up because he knew they were there to hear the results. Later that night, Barney was announced as the reserve champion individual commercial steer in the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout. This earned Colton a belt buckle and banner and produced a “glowing smile from ear to ear,” says his mom. About that same time, Ella was sending her mom a text from Indianapolis — her FFA agriscience project was announced the same night as the national winner. “It was so amazing that the calf that was in both Ella and Colton’s winning projects came from one of our first two Hereford females,” says Carie. That’s testament to the philosophy that life is truly a journey to be enjoyed — with all the unanticipated twists and turns. Looking forward, the Stiefvater family anticipates attending the 2018 JNHE in Grand Island, Neb., where Hadley, Ella and Colton will participate in contests. They also anticipate participating in the Fed Steer Shootout contest again eventually. The family’s youngest child, Skylar, is just 5 and is eager to start catching up with her siblings’ activities and accomplishments.

2 Steps Forward — 1 Step Back M
ost of us have heard this old saying. We were reminded of it when we
purchased this 1903 photo of Hereford bulls at the Centennial Louisiana Purchase Expo. What SIZE and HINDQUARTERS!!!! Such quality is NOT normally found on Herefords today. Yet many so-called authorities say we are far superior to them. I am certain there are some ways in which that is true but for over 60 years I have never found a PERFECT breeding bull that bred every characteristic that I wanted. While he may have helped in some areas, he did not in others.
A
former neighbor who was a nationally recognized cattle judge
said over and over to me that “they breed just like they look.” I suppose that is why I was 5 feet 10 inches tall with a father who was 6 feet 4 inches tall? I do have a 6 feet 3 inches tall son. Genetics are there but one never knows in advance exactly how they will hit. In my 80 years I have seen many bulls that did similar in different ways. I have visited with ranchers who told me similar stories about bulls that they had owned and often with a cheaper bull breeding much better than an expensive one. This has especially been true of embryo transplant bulls raised by great milking, part dairy cow moms. Most real cattlemen can easily figure out why!!! Famous ranches owned by wealthy non-farmers whose boots have never been in cow manure do not always understand breeding better than experienced cattlemen. It often really depends on a breeder’s honesty and experience with cattle. Naturally with constant judging fads, if you arrive today you will probably be changing by tomorrow as a breeder in Sedan, Kansas told me 50 years ago. Probably 100 years ago Robert Hazlett (former famed Hereford breeder) had the correct idea when he said, “Breed what you like.”
W
e invite you to see the cattle we have produced with our 60 years of breeding old line Hazlett-Turner
Ranch Herefords with great dispositions.

Busting Broncs and Buying Bulls
Saddle bronc rider Cort Scheer, runs a cow-calf operation with his family near Elsmere, Neb.
Saddle bronc rider Cort Scheer invests his winnings into his cow-calf herd. Story by Austin Black, photos by Linda Teahon
W
hen Cort Scheer isn’t busting broncs, he’s looking at cows. This professional saddle bronc rider has a deep love for the land, good cattle and quality beef. Scheer grew up in Elsmere, Neb., on the family ranch. His dad, Kevin Scheer, competed in bareback,

saddle bronc and bull riding when Cort was young. Following his lead, Cort rode sheep as a kid, then grew into more advanced rodeo events. He did calf roping and team roping throughout high school and was a bulldogger in college rodeo. Scheer attended college in Garden City, Kan., and Bozeman,
Mont., and graduated from Oklahoma Panhandle State University. He started riding bucking horses and hanging out with Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) hall-of-famer Danny Etbauer. Scheer wasn’t sure about his skills, but Etbauer convinced him to go pro. In 2007 Scheer bought his permit for the PRCA and hit the road. “It’s kind of a year-round deal,” he says. Scheer starts the circuit in Texas during the winter. In the spring, he gets a month off before heading to Canada and the Northwest U.S. to compete for the summer. The season ends in October, giving Scheer another month’s break before traveling to Las Vegas for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR) in December. Altogether, Scheer travels between 200-250 days each year to different rodeos. “It’s a fulltime deal,” he says. But, it’s a lot of fun. “My favorite thing about rodeo is hanging out with my buddies and having a good time. It’s right beside getting on a bronc and making a perfect ride,” Scheer says. “We’re kinda like a bunch of brothers,” he says. “Nobody really remembers the rodeos you win, but they remember the good times.” But Scheer does remember the big rodeos won. In 2011 a few years into his professional career, he won the Houston Rodeo. This win put more than $80,000 in his pocket and came after a successful WNFR that paid a little more than $70,000. A few years later, Scheer stamped a bigger win on his resume. A qualifier for the finals at the Calgary Stampede in Alberta, Scheer scored 93.5-points on a horse called Spring Planting. It was a rematch for Scheer, who had failed to ride the horse a few months earlier at the WNFR. His whole family was witness to his $100,000 payday. But the greatest success to date occurred in February 2018. The American, held at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Hereford.org
celebrated its 5th year as the “richest one day rodeo” in the country. Like the WNFR, The American starts with 15 competitors in each of the seven events. But of those 15, some are invited and some have to qualify to compete. The invited competitors are the top-ranked in their respective associations. For most, this means they competed at the WNFR the prior year. If they’re not invited, contestants have to win a series of competitions to qualify for The American. After the first round of each event, only four contestants advance to the finals — this is where it gets interesting. If the winner of the finals is an invited contestant, he receives $100,000. If he is a qualifier, he will win the $100,000, plus part or all of a $1,000,000 purse. This purse is divided between all event winners that were qualifiers. Meaning if only one qualifier wins, he gets the entire $1,000,000 check. In the 2017 rodeo season, Scheer was beat out in the last rodeo by his traveling partner Audy Reed for a spot in the top 15. This loss kept Scheer from qualifying for the WNFR. So, he entered the qualifiers, hoping to compete at The American — and he made it. Scheer had competed at The American twice before, coming in

2nd place both times to traveling partner Wade Sundell. This year, Sundell wasn’t at The American. “In the long round I had a horse I was really excited about,” Scheer says. But his horse stumbled and didn’t give Scheer a good ride. The judges awarded a reride, which Scheer finished with 84.5 points. The score put him as the third cowboy to advance to the finals. His draw for the finals was a mare called Medicine Woman, owned by
Frontier Rodeo. Scheer knew she would give him a good ride. “[The arena] is Medicine Woman and Wade Sundell’s building,” he said. “She is a monster.” Scheer landed an 89-point ride on the mare, giving him confidence he may win. But it wasn’t a guarantee. “There was still one guy to go — Clay Elliott,” Scheer says. “I’ve seen Clay ride. He’s one of the baddest guys going right continued on page 50...

his brother, Clete, got started when their dad gave them each a heifer. “We built our herd from there,” he says. Early on, the Scheers raised and showed club calves. Once they graduated 4-H, the brothers switched gears to focus on beef production. “We wanted to get to the F1 cross,” Scheer said. When the time came to expand, Scheer made his rodeo career and ranching business pay for each other. “We’ve always been black and once you’ve done the same thing so many times, it stops working,” he said. “We were looking for some bang.” The Scheers started looking for Hereford bulls to cross on their black cows. They saw how well baldy calves performed for Cort has combined his love for rodeo and their neighbors.

It was a new concept for Hoffman, but it had some appeal. “I’d witnessed that a majority of Cort’s winnings went back into real estate or the ranch.

family was their commitment to God. They walk the walk,” he says. Hoffman combined the sponsorship with provision that Scheer use his bulls, and the two haven’t looked back. Ever since Scheer’s Calgary win, he and Clete have purchased the best bulls they can find from Hoffman. The brothers take conformation very seriously, looking for heavy-muscled, easy-fleshing bulls. “They like them very practical and rugged,” Hoffman says. While the Scheer’s focus on phenotype, Hoffman adds input on the genetics he believes will work the best. “He knows way more about genetics than us. That guy can go on for days and days,” Scheer says. “I can talk about broncs like he can talk about Hereford bulls.” To meet their demands for muscle and thickness, the Scheers have bought bulls sired by Hometown, Redeem and 719T. “They’ve tied in together buying similar bloodlines. They’ve bought a lot of half-brothers,” Hoffman says. The Hoffman Ranch runs a lot of Line 1 base cows, making the stout and massive bulls the Scheers want. “We do a tremendous amount of ET (embryo transfer) work. We try to make these Hereford cattle as stout as we can while keeping birth weight in check,” Hoffman says.
Looking ahead Scheer doesn’t get to spend much time on the ranch, so he relies on his dad and brother to manage and run the operation. The time away from family is tough, but Scheer still claims Elsmere as his home, and he hopes to return one day to be a full-time cowboy. “I want to be the old rancher than just looks at cows,” he says, but for the near future, he plans to keep riding broncs and buying bulls, securing his rodeo retirement in the family ranch. “Looking at my calendar, I think [my future] is pretty bright. I’m going to rodeo as long as I can.”

Their Livelihood Set Ablaze
When record-breaking fires swept across California, cattlemen banded together to make a difference. by Kayla Jennings
A
smoky haze consumed the sky for days preceding what would be the darkest two weeks of the year. The news rang out regarding fast-moving, intense fires — unlike anything the region had seen in decades. As wind gusts topped more than 60 mph, the smoke in the distance was soon not so distant at all.

prayers were sent pleading for the well-being of the livestock that could not be rescued in time. The fires in and around Santa Rosa were a tragedy not easily forgotten.
Fire season Each fall, much of California is at risk of severe fires. It is common for many acres of forest or pasture to be destroyed, along with some structures. Yet, with each spring comes new growth and the land repairs itself — almost always better than before. This year the cycle was a bit more extreme. The fall 2017 fire season was the worst California has seen since the ’60s. More than 1.5 million acres burned in the 9,000 wildfires that flared up statewide, resulting in 46 fatalities and 11,953 damaged or destroyed structures — the most in the state’s history. To date the total cost of suppression is $701,844,181. It took more than 277,800 courageous personnel to fight these fires, among them Hereford breeder Jim McDougald. Currently the division chief, McDougald has served with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) for 24 years and is in charge of law enforcement and protection planning for the Fresno Kings Unit. In addition to his involvement with CAL FIRE, McDougald is president of the California-Nevada Hereford Association. The fourth-generation cattleman grew up raising registered Herefords and commercial cattle on a ranch which has been home to his family since 1889. The McDougald family used to run cattle in the High Sierra Nevada Mountain Range on

forest permits, but when the stocking rates on the permits decreased, their herd size followed suit. The other side of the family owned a sawmill where McDougald worked during college until logging declined, as well. At that point neither of his passions were viable career options. A desire to properly manage land led the avid outdoorsman to CAL FIRE. “It is all about doing things to reduce the risk and damage of fire to the landscape,” he says. “But at the same time, we need fire for the landscape. Learning how to put fire back in the landscape in a safe manner to reduce fuels and make the forest healthier is what I get excited about.” He says the change in the landscape across the state due to increased population and decreased grazing land has offset the balance in certain areas. Tree mortality has skyrocketed due to numerous years of drought, providing more fuel for fires to thrive. Although firefighters are on the front lines of these hazards, not even a seasoned veteran like McDougald could have predicted the devastation in 2017. “Last year would have been the most impactful fire season in California,” he says. “The most homes were destroyed and the most people were killed due to these fires in California’s history.” McDougald says the fires in Sonoma and Napa Counties were driven specifically by wind. Especially challenging was the area around Santa Rosa — seven fires culminated in a single, massive fire almost overnight. “You have got to stop the forward movement of these fires to stop them from destroying more homes and more ranches,” he explains. “That was one of the most difficult things there. Because fires were coming together, one place may be safe today, but it would be impacted by fire tomorrow coming from different directions — which is not normal.” continued on page 66...

Fortunately, there were agricultural areas in the midst of forests and residential zones that provided space where firemen could work. Grazed land or green orchards create fuel breaks in themselves, so fire will not completely consume those areas. “Ranchers also provided water resources to us,” he adds. “They all have ponds or lakes that we can use during these fires, so there is a lot of value in ranching and cattle, and even farming, that we can use to put these fires out. Having those water sources is huge.” In turn, more emphasis is placed on working with ranchers continually to preserve their livestock and land. “We always do everything we can to save rangeland in these fires,” McDougald says. “When a fire is that big, your priorities are always life and property. We work with landowners and ranchers, when it is safe, to get their cattle out or to a safe place. At times we will even haul water to the livestock.”
Close to home McDougald has always worked tirelessly protecting the property complete strangers. That is, until the Tubbs fire. “This was the first time I had ever worked on a fire where I knew the ranchers that were being
impacted,” he says. “I have known the Mickelsons forever. They are a part of the California-Nevada Hereford Association, so fighting a fire on their property was just a different connection that I had ever had before.” Jim Mickelson and his family own and operate Sonoma Mountain Herefords, a registered Hereford cattle outfit that produces replacement females and bulls for commercial cattlemen. The Hereford heritage extends many generations, as his wife’s family has had Hereford cattle since 1904. The longtime Sonoma County residents also own a vineyard and Jerry and Don’s Yager Pump and Well. What began as a routine Sunday afternoon in early October turned into an evening that threatened their home and livelihood for the next week — at least. “It started on a Sunday evening in Napa,” Mickelson recalls. “We had low humidity and high north winds, which is perfect for fire conditions.” The intensity of the nearby Napa fires pulled a lot of resources from Sonoma County. Before those resources could be replenished, fires sprang up in Sonoma County, reaching the Mickelsons’ ranch around 10 p.m. “I went out to move the cattle to the barn areas,

which were protected by the vineyards,” Mickelson says. “That night there was no less than five or six fires burning in Sonoma County. Within two or three hours, it traveled from the country into the town of Santa Rosa and burnt right around 1,000 homes that night.” There was much more fire than there were resources to extinguish it. Extreme winds and high temperatures fueled the blazes as they spread nearly uncontrollably in the middle of the night. “So many people lost everything,” Mickelson says. “So many people woke up with just a few minutes to get the keys to their car, their phone and just the clothes they had on to escape the fire. The fires were moving so fast and were so intense people were waking up at two or three in the morning with neighbors pounding on their door, or someone calling and saying, ‘hey, you’ve got to get out and hurry up.’ It was truly unbelievable to experience what went on.” The Mickelsons evacuated on Sunday and were at risk of losing their home until Wednesday. The smoke was so thick aerial firefighting was delayed up to four days. Fire fighters flocked from all across the western United States. Among them was a dear friend — Jim McDougald. “Everyone says it is a small world. Jim is pretty high up in CAL FIRE, so when there is a major fire, he is usually there,” Mickelson says. “When I knew Jim was coming to our area, I offered for him to stay at our house. I knew if he was there, our house would not burn.” Mickelson saw tremendous value in having McDougald on site. He credits his friend’s livestock background for an inherent “drive and know-how” to protect livestock, as well as structures. When the Mickelsons returned home, they found their livestock and structures were indeed secure.
The aftermath The fire affected the region in tremendous ways. Mickelson’s pump and well business has been busier than ever, rebuilding water system infrastructure for the wells at many lost home sites. It was nothing like he had ever seen. “We had a fire very similar to this fire in 1964. It burned much of the same area,” he remembers. “The difference between ‘64 and now is the number of structures that have been built in the county that did not exist in 1964. Normally when we have a fire, there are enough resources to deal with putting the fire out. This fire was more than one fire. It happened under ideal conditions — high winds, low humidity, and warm weather. You can’t fight a fire that is being pushed by 20 to 75 mph winds. You just can’t stop it.” McDougald notes the fire will help the land in the long-run. “However, in the short-term it Hereford.org

was devastating,” he says. “Ranchers lost all the rangeland they would have had in the fall, so they were forced to feed everything or sell out. When nothing was left and all the fences are burned down, it left a huge impact on those ranchers.” The fires also had a crushing impact on wine production. “Growers and wineries suffered significantly,” he says. In October, wine country is in the midst of harvest. It was impossible, Mickelson says, for most employees to travel to work because of mandatory road closures and evacuations. Still, the most damaging factor for many wineries was smoke damage to the fruit. Many unharvested grapes that escaped the flames suffered from smoke taint, ruining their flavor. Beyond the agricultural industry, the fires affected every facet of the economy. Rent and real estate prices, already at all-time highs from an on-going housing shortage, have gone through the roof. While architectural firms and similar businesses may be making a good profit right continued on page 68... July 2018 |

now, general home maintenance and specialty service outfits lost upward of 35% of their revenue overnight. In some cases, those businesses had to close their doors. “It was the first time I had ever seen entire communities gone,” McDougald observes. “Most years it will burn a house here or a house there, but this time entire subdivisions were gone.” CAL FIRE employees were in the area for more than a month afterward helping with suppression repair. After the dust and ash settled, the goodwill and positive outlook of community members perhaps outshined the fires. “It is hard to describe,” McDougald says. “The people that live there are just amazing people. You’d be somewhere and these people that had just lost
everything were telling you thank you for coming.” While many community members and volunteer firemen played a role in helping responders, the division chief says ranchers possibly played the largest role in the effort. Ranchers are valued partners to firemen because of their extensive resources and geographical knowledge. “They bring a lot to the table,” he says. “There were numerous ranchers who provided knowledge of the area that was an asset in putting out these fires. They are a great resource, and they are extremely valuable. They really help out all their neighbors, and I don’t think the neighbors realize the help they provide.”
Picking up the pieces
It took a village to rise up from the ashes. One of Mickelson’s many contributions was renting generators to run wells used for livestock. “[Mickelson] is a huge part of the recovery in that area,” ARE BUILT ON FAMILIES!

out of a seven-day period, two of those days would be spent landing in a hot LZ (landing zone),” says Hereford breeder Jim McCown, Cedar Creek, Mo. “When we would get back to the home base, I would raise my head and look at the holes in the chopper, and I would think, ‘I was pretty lucky this time.’ “Twice, I was in a chopper that took live fire and took down the engine,” he continues. “You didn’t see anyone walk away from those. But somehow, I did.” Hereford.org
McCown served our country in the Vietnam War from 1971-1972. He was a self-proclaimed country boy who was thrown into the middle of a battle a world away. He didn’t choose the experience, but when duty called, he served his country proudly. Most definitely, the experience forever shaped the man he is today.
Country boy turned infantryman In his early years, McCown lived at Good Samaritan Boys Ranch. He was McCown served for 18 months as a door gunner adopted at the age of 5 and moved before being promoted to a sergeant. to the then small community of Nixa, “That was easy to do Mo., with his parents, Andrew Jackson in Vietnam, as sergeants (Jack) and Winnie Jeanette McCown. and officers were killed “I always have attributed my love of animals to off so quickly,” he says. my time at the Boys Ranch and growing up on the old ‘Seaton Farm,’ West of Nixa,” McCown says.

Fifteen minutes. He served in this role for 18 months — making about two landings in hot zones each week. “There were two jobs you didn’t want to have in Vietnam — one was lieutenant as a squad leader, and the other was door gunner. If you lived through taking that live fire, you were awfully lucky,” McCown says. “I was extremely lucky.

Determination Hereford breeder Jim McCown, Cedar Creek, Mo., served for 18 months in the Vietnam War and in the process was exposed to Agent Orange, a herbicide used in the war which has led to many health concerns for veterans through the years. However, he had no idea what was causing his many health issues until he took part in a motorcycle ride to Washington, D.C. with Rolling Thunder® Inc., a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization designed to bring awareness and support to Prisoners of War/Missing in Action and veterans’ needs. “Riding my Harley to D.C. with that group of veterans was emotional,” McCown says. “Seeing the Vietnam

Veterans Memorial was an emotional visit, as I lost a couple of really good friends over there.” Being with a large group of Vietnam veterans also opened his eyes to his medical conditions. “I didn’t even know what Agent Orange was before that trip,” he says. “When I was there in D.C., there were thousands of bikers in a large parking lot. Several of them were standing in a circle, pulling up their pant legs and showing each other their wounds. I had open sores on my legs for years, but had no idea why. I walked up to that group and asked what they were doing. One of the bikers — a complete stranger — said, ‘Oh my, man! You’re eat up!’”
He has since been in treatment with the Veterans Affairs (VA) health system. “I have two good friends with the same thing I have, and they’ve had their legs amputated,” McCown says. “Every time I go into the VA, they ask if I’m ready for amputation. But those friends died within a year of losing their legs, and I’ve got a lot to live for. I’m in a lot of pain, but life is good. I can still crawl into this truck to feed cows, and I can still watch my granddaughter play basketball and volleyball.

A winding path back to his roots When McCown returned from Vietnam, he married a hometown girl. Because of the benefits and security, he decided to stay in the Army. McCown says he knew he didn’t want to remain in a “deadend MOS (Military Occupational Specialty),” so he requested and got special training in new computer technology at Ft. Mead with the Army Security Agency (ASA). “Our motto in ASA was ‘In God we trust, in all others we monitor,’” he says. He was then stationed in Okinawa, Japan, with that detail.

The registered Hereford business changed tremendously since the 1960s, but McCown met the new challenge with excitement for the future.
Co. Travis had to explain such things as EPDs (expected progeny differences) and ET (embryo transfer). The registered Hereford business had changed so much since the 1960s. I value Travis and Sarah’s friendship so much. Even to this day I learn things from them. They have been instrumental in our family’s humble success.” Focusing on the numbers has also led to McCown’s growth in the Hereford industry and selection process. “Now, I use EPDs to narrow down a couple hundred choices down to five or so. I’m a numbers and spreadsheet nerd,” he notes. “But when it comes down to that final decision, I cannot imagine not seeing the cow — and her mom and dad if they’re there. At that point, EPDs mean nothing.” His son Chris lives in Cedar Creek, Mo., and works in construction. He provides much of the day-to-day labor for the operation.

been involved, and Haley has plans to attend college pursuing a degree in animal science. She has dreams of one day taking over the artificial insemination (AI) portion of the operation. McCown also has one great grandson, Walt, the son of granddaughter Alexa. Son Kevin lives in Marshfield, Mo., and works as a deputy sheriff for Webster County. He also provides manual labor needed to manage two different locations. He and his wife recently purchased a farm, working to make it the “front pasture” operation. His wife, Abby, oversees the finances. They have one son — “PaPaw McCown’s” namesake, James Roger. Daughter, Christina, has one daughter, Sabrina. Both work in the real estate industry, always keeping their eyes open for opportunities for the family to expand. There was a time when the McCowns exhibited cattle at several shows a year, mainly local county fairs. Each year Haley and McCown would also attend the Ozark Empire Fair and the Missouri State Fair in hopes of finding that special heifer to improve the herd. They also consigned to the 2016 Missouri Opportunity Sale sponsored by the Missouri Hereford Association. “Back then, I could walk just fine, and I could load cattle with help from Haley and Chris,” McCown says. “Now, with the progression of my health challenges, I can’t do that. And Haley has gotten very busy with basketball and volleyball and school activities.” Today, the McCown’s exhibit at about two shows a year.
Embracing the past, looking to the future Within moments of visiting with McCown, it’s evident — family is everything, and, he says, when he looks back on his life and accomplishments, family rises to the top. “The Good Lord let me live through Vietnam so that I could raise these kids,” he says. He’s also thankful to live in a country that now appreciates and respects American veterans again. “Those of us in Vietnam? We were just kids doing what we were told to do, and we did our country a good service,” McCown says. “Most Vietnam veterans hold a grudge for how we were treated when we returned from war, and I do, too. But when a complete stranger comes up to me, shakes my hand, and thanks me for my service? It means a lot to a Vietnam vet. It actually puts a tear in my eye.” Those images of serving his country will never leave McCown. But that experience most definitely made him who he is today: a family man with a love for country and a deep appreciation for Hereford cattle and the lifestyle they bring.

Somewhere Under the Rainbow How the family behind Rainbow Bible Ranch created a pot of gold in the wake of tragedy. by Rachel Gabel
T
he legacy of South Dakota’s Reinhold family, outside of good horses, Hereford cattle, family and faith, may be their ability to find the rainbow after the storm — even in drought-stricken country.
A weathered outfit Located near Sturgis, S.D., the Reinholds’ Lonetree Ranch was settled in the 1900s by Larry Reinhold’s grandparents, Emmanuel and Hazel. Emmanuel, a proud Swede, came
86
| July 2018
from the old country of Minnesota, where, as Reinhold jokingly impersonates, he put “yam and yelly” on his toast. When the initial 160 acres was homesteaded, the land was still open range. Hazel used to say with a number of large cattlemen in the area vying for land, established ranchers were eager to “hang a hon yocker from the nearest tree.” Fittingly, the family settled on Lonetree Creek and began what is now a 100year tradition of raising cattle in the shadow of a cottonwood tree along the creek. Hereford.org
After a short go with Shorthorn cattle, the family transitioned to a Hereford outfit. They maintained a registered operation from the 1960s into the ’90s, and some registered individuals remain in what is now a commercial herd. Reinhold has purchased bulls and heifers from the Feddes family in Manhattan, Mont., and bulls from the Bakers in Rapid City, S.D. and the Fawcett family in Ree Heights, S.D., to add to the herd. Calving, once done in the fall, now happens in the springtime. Calves used to be retained for at least a year but are now marketed and sold earlier through local sale barns, namely based on the drought which has “kicked them in the teeth.” Reinhold says they are currently down to 150 cows. “It’s a drought thing, but it kind of looks like we’ll be able to hold on to them. Keep praying.” “(South Dakota) is such a land of extremes,” Robin, Reinhold’s wife, says. Robin hails from the southern Black Hills and a cattle operation, where Reinhold’s late father, Tige, sold bulls to Robin’s father in the 1970s. After attending college in California, Robin returned to South Dakota and has since been ranching at Reinhold’s side. “It goes from 30 below in the winter to 100 plus in the summer with storms and droughts. But honestly, it’s all we’ve ever known.” Managing a cow herd in drought years has been as much of an exercise in faith as it has been in feeding and finances. The Reinholds’ eldest child, Rachel, says cattle were fed hay at the onset of August until they were moved to grass in late May. Availability of hay has been slim pickings, so they had to truck it in from nearly 250 miles away. In an effort to minimize hay usage, the family began using supplement blocks, resulting in about a 30% reduction in hay consumption.
Larry and Robin Reinhold are building their legacy on Hereford cattle, ranch horses, faith, and family.
“We’re trusting that God will provide the rain and it’s going to be a better year than last year,” Rachel says.
Ranching religiously Their strong faith provides more than hope at Lonetree Ranch. Each summer, the family’s working ranch is home to hundreds of kids participating in the Rainbow Bible Ranch youth ministry camp. Rainbow Bible Ranch and Lonetree Ranch are intertwined so campers can see a working ranch continued on page 88...

in action. Even in a state known for its ranching heritage and future, nearly all of the campers are generations removed from such a lifestyle. Many are the children or grandchildren of people who appreciate the ranching way of life and want their children to experience it as well. In 1979 the first camp saw the ranch throw open its gates with 27 kids in attendance, ready to learn about ranching and agriculture firsthand. This year, the camps will see 500 participants aged 6-18 from all over the country, with nine sessions taking place over 10 weeks. “It’s been a blessing,” Reinhold says. “We’ve met lots and lots of people. We feel it’s a great place to use the horses and the family ranch and agriculture. It’s a great place to share Biblical principle and lessons in real life. And it’s a good opportunity to share being an advocate for agriculture.” The camp leaders, in addition to the Reinhold children, all come from past camps. “Legacy 2 kids” return as role models for younger campers, exemplifying the power of the camp experience and the sense of ownership and belonging that comes with it. “People often ask if these are troubled kids and I say we try to get them before they get in trouble,” Reinhold quips.
Some past campers, known as Legacy 2 kids, return to Rainbow Bible Ranch to serve as wranglers and leaders.

Teaching kids to have a heart for agriculture often begins with their stomachs. All of the beef served during the camp comes from Lonetree Ranch cattle, an avenue through which the family can both assure the wholesomeness of the meals and illustrate the end product of the ranch. Moving and working cattle is part of the camp, and Reinhold credits the gentle nature of the Hereford breed to allow inexperienced kids the opportunity to gain confidence and an appreciation for good cattle. The breed also demonstrated its value during Storm Atlas. While tens of thousands of cattle died in the storm, the Reinholds lost only a handful of Herefords, which they attribute to the breed’s hardiness, hide and disposition. Many life lessons present themselves naturally like the birth and, sometimes, the death of a ranch animal. Reinhold recalls one instance when a saddle horse ridden by one of the camp wranglers died of a heart attack in the middle of a ride. “We had a bunch of kids around and here they see something just die,” he says. “That’s life. When Storm Atlas hit us a few years ago, we lost nearly 100 head of horses, most of our good camp horses. That hit kids because they knew those horses. “As painful as it was, we saw how God worked it and people saw the brevity of life,” he adds. “It showed us not to take for granted what God has allowed us to enjoy.”
God’s plan The concept behind Rainbow Bible Ranch came from Reinhold’s brother, Lyle. Reinhold and his parents, Tige and Vicky, committed to support Lyle with the camp after much consideration and prayer. “I guess God had different plans for us, though,” Reinhold says. “On Memorial Day of 1979, I lost my brothers in a drowning. It was after that dad, mom, my sister, and I said if it was God’s will to pursue something like [a ministry camp], we needed to think about it and we decided to go for it.”
Lone Tree Ranch raises nearly all of the horses used on the ranch as well as for the camp. During Storm Atlas, they lost nearly their entire string and have been rebuilding one colt at a time.

Rachel, Julia, Kierstin and Molly Reinhold give meaning to “you ranch like a girl.”
Danny Reinhold is the resident farmer and mechanic on the ranch.
Both of Reinhold’s brothers, Lyle, 19, and Lee, 17, died in the incident their parents witnessed. The camp’s success has been a positive experience for the family, especially in light of losing Lyle, who was unable to see his idea for the camp come to fruition. “To God be the glory; it’s neat how you can take something that the world looks at as a tragedy and allow it to become something that is a victory,” Reinhold says.
A family effort Besides the camp sessions, Reinhold and Robin host a number of dinners and fellowship gatherings including a reunion service during the Black Hills Stock Show. Men’s Day brings nearly 200 men to the ranch for a meal, fellowship and other various activities. Other events include a Valentine’s banquet; a Christmas event, Birthday at the Barn, with a live Nativity scene; and RBR at RBR, which highlights beef at the aptly named Ribs Brisket Roundup at Rainbow Bible Ranch. Giving back to the community is a priority for the family. In their part of the country, community spans many more miles than in some other places, making it all the more important. Reinhold claims the strength of the family and the business relies heavily on commitment to the

family. “People in agriculture are fairly strong willed,” he says. “That crosses the generations, too. I can honestly look back with my dad and it’s not that we always agreed but we did agree on one thing, that we would love each other no matter what.” Keeping the next generation on the ranch is vital to its success. “We have the best opportunity to keep the next generation involved in agriculture as farmers and ranchers,” the proud father explains. “You can’t do that with the average business in town. We can pass on more legacy and more heritage here on the farm and ranch than any other business. That has to be priority. Make sure the kids want to come back.” The Reinhold family, itself, is one more generation in the making of that legacy. The couple’s six children have all found their role within the various facets of the operation. Rachel, the eldest, has returned as a manager, and Reinhold admits she knows the cow herd better than he does. She also serves as a wrangler during the summer camps. Molly, next in line, returned to the ranch after attending Bible college in Oregon and serving on a mission trip to Haiti. High school senior Danny, 18, is the resident farmer and mechanic on the operation. Caleb, 15, has proven to be a hand with the horses, and Julia, 12, finds herself in charge of the variety of small animals at the ranch. Kiersten, the youngest, has an appreciation for livestock and people, alike. The positive influence of the camp helps ease the strain of blizzards, dry years and low cattle prices. “I look at how my parents allowed it not to be an end, but rather a beginning to something that is, by far, bigger than us,” Reinhold reflects. “We like our horses and we like our cattle, but I can honestly say that the camp and the people aspect is the rewarding part.” Just as the rainbow was a sign to Noah of the end of the incessant floods — a biblical token of God’s promise of mercy and love — so does the rainbow provide hope to all who enter the gates of Rainbow Bible Ranch.

Paving the Way
The Vanier family’s longstanding tradition of supporting agricultural youth radiates through scholarship. by Brooke Roberts
E
ach year, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) selects 10 outstanding youth to receive the Jack and Donna Vanier Family Scholarship. Approximately $100,000 is awarded in individual $10,000 scholarships, an endowment courtesy of Jack Vanier and his wife, Donna. Their support of education and leadership

for Hereford youth dates back to 2008, when the first Vanier Family scholarship was awarded. The family has a long history of providing generous financial support for young people in agriculture. Jack and Donna’s three kids — daughters Marty and Mary, and son John — describe a responsibility to share which led Hereford.org
their parents to create a scholarship supporting Hereford youth.
The trailblazer Inspiration for the scholarship stems from the family patriarch, John J. “JJ” Vanier. A grain miller and cattle rancher, JJ worked hard to achieve success in his business undertakings. His thriving feed and flour milling company funded the purchase of the family’s ranch in Brookville, dubbed CK Ranch for its location in Central Kansas. Hereford cattle first set foot on the property in 1936. Right off the bat, JJ started in the registered business and within 20 years had built a registered herd of 2,000 head. Until recently, the Vanier family had ranching operations in Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and two in Kansas. John, who has a degree in ag economics from Kansas State University, has been the family member directly involved with operating the ranches for the past 30 years. Today, CK Ranch consists of the original Kansas property west of Brookville, Kan., and has transitioned from the registered business to become a 100% commercial operation. The family’s commitment to the breed is demonstrated through its leadership within the American Hereford Association (AHA), which has included three generations of Vaniers. JJ was elected as the organization’s president in 1952, and was a Board member when “they put the big Hereford bull up,” as John says. Jack also served as president. “He was very active in the business,” John says of his father. “This was his life. He loved the land and he loved the ranch. He was constantly going through the pastures, looking at cattle.” The third generation of Vaniers to serve on the AHA Board, John himself, was a Board member during the years the horned and polled associations merged.
CK Ranch utilizes Hereford bulls on their primarily red baldy cow herd.
Although very involved in ‘adult’ Board affairs, JJ is best remembered for providing avenues for juniors to pursue higher education. John describes his grandfather as “a huge proponent of helping kids get a start in agriculture.” One of the family’s favorite pastimes that stemmed from JJ’s creative thinking was a youth livestock auction. “We used to have what was known as the Red Circle Auction,” John notes. JJ would place stamps on sacks of feed sold from his milling business. “Kids would collect those stamps from buying the feed, and they would come out to the ranch and we would have a three-day event,” he explains. The event, which included everything from square dancing to speaking contests, concluded with a livestock auction that featured cattle from the ranch, horses, pigs and sheep. Auction items could only be purchased with the feed stamps. Mary Vanier points out that parents were not allowed into the sale pavilion — only kids, ringmen, the auctioneer and her grandfather, JJ. “That was very deliberate,” she notes, “It enforced on these young people that it was their continued on page 98...

decision, and whatever decision they made on how to spend their points was something they were going to have to live with.” Although the Red Circle Auctions no longer take place, the Vanier family’s dedication to young agriculturalists remains. Mary says the HYFA scholarship is a means to support their grandfather’s efforts. “He was very John remembers the many lessons much into young people learned from his father as he currently oversees the ranch managers at all using their minds and four CK Ranch locations. becoming self-reliant and being responsible. I think that translates into the scholarship program.”
Farm-raised work ethic The three siblings, all K-State graduates, value their upbringing in the Hereford industry and were all involved in exhibiting Hereford cattle at county and state fairs through 4-H. “We grew up with cattle people and know the values instilled with kids that grow up with the same kind of environment we did,” Mary says. “Feeding cattle, doing chores, showing — those are the kind of values and work ethic that we want to support.” The Manhattan, Kan., resident and current president of Grand Mere Development has also worked as a college advisor and acknowledges, “I can always tell the kids that grew up on farms or ranches. They tend to stick out as leaders because they’re very responsible, they’re
very organized, and they do what they say they’re going to do. Those are all great values that Hereford and 4-H and having a ranch or farming background brings.” Likewise, Marty frequently hires college students to work on her land in Manhattan. A licensed veterinarian and director of development for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan, she agrees young people who grew up with responsibilities on the farm are strikingly different from their peers. “Wow, the differences are amazing,” she describes. “They come in with a sense of maturity and a sense of responsibility that is incredible for their age.” She also appreciates their problem-solving skills. “If there’s some kind of problem they identify, they don’t just bring me the problem. They often bring me a solution — or a variety of solutions — that we can talk through.” The family upholds that Hereford youth are standouts amongst today’s young people and are confident that scholarships go to well-deserving individuals who share the family’s strong values. John recognizes being involved as a Hereford youth requires a strong work ethic and passion for the breed and the industry. “I do honestly believe the kids with agricultural backgrounds understand and have learned from their parents the right way to do things,” he says. “You get out of it what you put into it, and it’s quite obvious that the kids give everything they’ve got.”
Removing speedbumps “John and Mary and I knew that we were extremely fortunate to be able to grow up out there on the ranch,” Marty says. “We were able to have lots

of opportunities in college and out of college that we recognize a lot of other students weren’t able to have or weren’t able to take advantage of.” She continues, “What comes along with that is a bit of a responsibility to help others and to share. Between that responsibility to share and the fact that the Hereford industry has been so important to the family, it just naturally led to the The first 10 Jack and Donna Vanier Family Scholarship recipients were recognized at the 2016 American Hereford Youth Foundation.

Retirement Cow herd Dispersal – A Unique Opportunity Offering 62 Cows and 13 Replacement Heifers by Private Treaty
T
his is a small herd of 70 cows that is dedicated to enhancing the efficiency of Hereford cattle to produce a low maintenance cow herd that has a high percentage calf crop which is profitable in the feedlot. This requires a balance of traits rather than attempting to maximize some of the current EPD traits. This philosophy was vindicated in 2005 when the American Hereford Association introduced profit indices. Notice that the herd ranks well above the breed average in all four of the indexes and the senior herd sire, Feltons Sounder 957, was a trait leader in each of the four indexes.
S
humaker Herefords was started in 1980 with the purchase of several groups of heifers from the herd of Warner Rebenstorf, my uncle. Warner had dedicated his life to breeding the best possible Hereford cattle for over 40 years. His cows were thick, milked well and produced a healthy calf every year.
A Whole Herd TPR
ÂŽ
program was initiated and practical performance has always been the focus of this program. Herd sires
have been selected for a practical balance of milk and growth traits with special emphasis on birth weight and scrotal circumference. High birth weight show ring winners are totally irrelevant to the goals of this breeding program.
T
he cows have been ruthlessly culled for generations for fertility, disposition, udder quality, eye problems, birth weight and any structural problems. The yearling replacement heifers have been culled on pelvic measurements for more than 20 years and calving problems are rare. For the past 19 years steers have been fed out through the GOP/NHF program to collect gain and carcass data. Ultrasound has been utilized for selecting replacement heifers for the last 18 years.
C
omprehensive information and data about this herd can be found on the website – shumakerherefords.com. Cow herd production records and feedlot data for the last 18 years highlight the accomplishments of this herd.
Proceeds from the sale of this herd will provide long term funding for the Hereford Prime Foundation. This foundation will archive tissue samples from NHF steers for future DNA analysis and studies.

family pays for a dinner they will not eat and leaves before ever receiving their food. This is real, everyday life for Mitch and Kathryn Ingram, owners of Notchey Creek Farm, Madisonville, Tenn. “We couldn’t even estimate the number of times that’s happened,” Mitch says. “We don’t want to create a huge disruption. We’ve even left hotel rooms in the middle of the night when he’s gotten too loud. That’s just the life you live with autism.” Although daily life is still “normal,” relative to other families, the two agriculture teachers face challenges many parents could not imagine. Maintaining faith is the priority, and they work together to create routines, redefining “normal” along the way.

The Ingrams did not know much about autism until Johnny joined their family 15 years ago. “We both have had many autistic students in our classrooms through the years, but we really didn’t understand all it entails until it happened in our family,” Mitch says. “It’s such a broad thing. I say, ‘When you meet one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism.’ It’s so different. It’s definitely not ‘one size fits all.’” The couple first noticed signs of regression in their 18-month-old son following his hospitalizion for a staph infection that resulted from a minor surgery. Johnny gave up communicating and reverted to crawling from walking, something his parents thought was part of the recovery process. “We were attending a vacation Bible school and noticed that Johnny was disassociating himself from other classmates,” Mitch says. “He was doing the very-typical arranging objects into a straight line — both were red flags. This moment was when we realized, ‘We’ve got a situation here.’” After several evaluations through the University of Tennessee (UT) Medical Center, they received the diagnosis and began the process of researching and learning how to help their son. “It was somewhat of a relief to have a name for it, but it was terrifying because we knew so little about what to expect,” Kathryn recalls. “There is a grieving process to go through. You have to accept that dreams and expectations have changed.” Hereford.org
According to Autism Speaks, autism, or autism spectrum disorder, can be marked with challenges in social skills, repetitive behaviors, and verbal and nonverbal behaviors. The condition takes many forms, depending on genetic and environmental influences. The autism spectrum reflects a wide range of challenges and strengths possessed by individuals affected with the condition. Johnny’s autism is considered “severe,” his parents say. “He can speak some, but cannot communicate clearly,” Mitch says. “In many Johnny, Kathryn and Mitch work as a team to overcome the challenges of autism. ways, he’s like a 3-year-old. But then, he Cleveland State Community College, teaching can turn around and use Google Maps agriculture and agribusiness. to navigate us to South Carolina. There’s a Although Mitch and Kathryn met in communication barrier, but he does understand kindergarten, they did not begin dating until some things.” Kathryn was Mitch’s student teacher. They wed in 2000, “and we now have had our happily ever Hometown kids after,” Mitch says with a smile.

...Journey of Faith continued from page 107
Life with autism Mitch and Kathryn eventually plan to rebuild their registered and commercial cow herds with hopes of showing cattle again. But with community commitments and caring for their son, that has taken a backseat for a bit. In the meantime, routine and schedules tend to help calm Johnny and reduce the incidents of meltdowns. “We live by pictures, Mitch and Kathryn work tirelessly to gain acceptance for autistic schedules and calendars,” children like Johnny. Mitch says. “Each day’s routine is on a dry-erase board with magnets. Breakfast, school, afternoon, bath time, bedtime. [Johnny] is very aware of the calendar and what day of the week it is, and as long as it’s on the calendar, he can understand that.” Although they can work to reduce triggers for Johnny’s autism, Kathryn says, they simply cannot be eliminated. “For example, we recently went for Johnny’s annual physical, and two nurses came into the room,” she says. “One was asking me questions, and the other immediately went to check his temperature and blood pressure. He was unsure of what was going on, and things were moving too quickly for him. He had a total meltdown — crying and screaming. The doctor was trying to comfort him by patting him on the back, but at that point, he doesn’t want to be touched, and it only made it worse.”
Building awareness Because autism is a misunderstood condition — especially the meltdowns that occur as a result — the family is dedicated to raising awareness.
“We hope that autism awareness leads to not only greater understanding, but also to increased training for professionals such as EMTs and police officers,” Kathryn says. “These professionals often meet our children in the worst situations without the skillset to handle them.” “We are working to achieve more acceptance,” Mitch says. “[Autistic children] are not easily accepted in the public — in restaurants, schools and church settings. Sometimes these children are tagged with the stigma of being ‘unruly,’ and that’s just not the case.” Mitch and Kathryn write local news articles on the subject, and Kathryn is part of many support groups in eastern Tennessee. They also work with businesses to encourage autisticfriendly environments in their community — as those with autism can sometimes be triggered by loud sounds, fluorescent lighting or the drastic alteration of routines. “We are seeing a lot of progress toward more autistic-friendly environments,” Mitch says. “There is a great need for housing and care for adults with disabilities,” Kathryn explains. “The biggest worry for many parents of children with autism — including us — is what will happen when I die? Our hope is to help Johnny be as independent as possible and find a way to secure his future.”
Giving back Although their careers, Johnny’s caretaking and their devotion to autism awareness take a great deal of time, the Madisonville natives give back to their community and the Hereford industry in countless ways. Kathryn is the editor of the Tennessee Hereford Association newsletter and serves on the board. The pair are also involved with the East Tennessee

Hereford Association, where Mitch is president and Kathryn, secretary. Kathryn now manages the East Tennessee Hereford Association consignment sale, something the couple saw a need to bring back to life. “The association had somewhat gone defunct, and everyone had lost interest — which led to the sale and organization dissolving,” Kathryn says. “Mitch saw a need, and so he helped to start it back up. He sent out newsletters, and he organized a meeting that had about 12 attendees the first time. We got the association put back together in 2006, and the sale restarted in 2008.” Today, the East Tennessee Hereford Association is flourishing again. “Many people have now bought in,” Mitch says. “Once the spark was there, the association and sale just kept growing, and the interest kept growing. Today, we have a lot of strong support. It’s great.” He has also worked in the ministry field his entire career and last August became the pastor at Lakeside Missionary Baptist Church. In 2014, Mitch added a career of community service to his résumé when he was elected commissioner of Monroe County. “When I first decided to run for county commissioner, I wanted to be able to help people,” Mitch says. “I sometimes get interesting phone calls, for sure. But people want fresh water and paved roads, and I want to help.” His name is now on the August ballot for the election of the Monroe County mayor. “I was asked by several in the community to consider running for county mayor,” he continues. “It wasn’t on my radar, at first, and I had to run against the incumbent. But now, I have won the primary, and we look forward to the challenge.”
Making time Kathryn says their decision to serve their community points to one simple principle: “If you’re willing to take something, you should always be willing to give back,” she says. “We believe we should help as much as we can with the abilities we’ve been given. Many people have given us the gift of their time and we feel we should give back with some of ours.” As well, Mitch says, it is a way for each person to make a difference in the community. Hereford.org
“You have the opportunity to exercise your voice by getting involved,” Mitch says. “Many times, I hear complaints and negativity. I ask, ‘Have you tried to make a difference?’ It’s important that stakeholders, whether in county government or the school system or the Hereford associations, realize that taking a leadership role is a way to get things accomplished.” With detailed schedules and strict routines, Johnny lives the most The couple acknowledges living in a “busy” society makes normal life possible. finding time to serve difficult. “Still, I challenge anyone who isn’t happy about the results or practices of organizations they care about to do something about it. Get involved,” Mitch says. “As someone told me in church the other day, if we make time, we will find time. We live in a fast-paced and busy society, from daylight to dark. But we can still make time for the priorities in life.” Having faith and a strong support network has made the journey easier. “We try to remember that we are ‘seeing through a glass, darkly,’” Kathryn says. “There will be hard times, when you feel pulled in a hundred directions. Remember to lean on your faith, family, friends, and community.” “We have been very blessed — and we rely heavily on faith and family to endure,” Mitch agrees. “There are definite peaks and valleys. Some days are great, and some days are terrible. You have to have a close-knit family and support. And we have been fortunate to have both.” “The diagnosis has given us a framework of empathy we did not have before,” Kathryn says. “The help and encouragement we have received from support groups, family, church, friends, the Hereford community, and even kind words from strangers have helped us more than they will ever know.” No, not every day is easy. But through a strong faith, an unbreakable family bond and a determined desire to help others, the Ingrams are bringing hope to those Mitch preaches at Lakeside Missionary Baptist Church to a congregation with more than 80 members. in their community.

college-bound youth from area Hereford families. In a “practice what you preach” moment, Keith offered to donate a heifer at the next board meeting. The co-owner of Ralph E. Ullman & Son Polled Herefords with his father, Larry, Keith picked out a “particularly nice” heifer for the auction, passing up several opportunities to sell her. He and his wife, Christina, worked diligently to promote the heifer through online advertising and handing out brochures and ads at events like the Buckeye Hereford Association’s banquet. They even obtained sponsors for the heifer. In the end, she generated more than $5,000 for the scholarship fund. Another breeder donated a heifer the following year, providing financial security for the scholarship. This year SOPHA gave out four scholarships compared to the single award available when it began in 2006. “What’s been rewarding about this scholarship fund is how past recipients have given back,” Keith remarks. “They’ve been speakers at our annual banquet and one past recipient gave a sizable monetary donation to the scholarship fund. Others have purchased cattle or consigned them to our sale. It’s gone from just being a youth scholarship to one where recipients are giving back as they’ve transitioned into adulthood.”

eith Ullman knew he needed to take action. The scholarship fund his grandfather, Ralph, had helped establish years ago through the Switzerland of Ohio Polled Hereford Association (SOPHA) needed an influx of cash to remain self-sustaining. Keith made a proposal — ask someone to donate a heifer to auction for the scholarship fund, which supports

Community Giving back is an established mantra of the Ullman family, whose members have resided for many decades in Graysville, Ohio, a small, southeastern town nestled in Wayne National Forest. “We’re all about stepping up to the plate for community activities. The Ullman family has sort of followed in [my father’s] footsteps,” Larry says. Ralph set a lofty bar for his son and grandson. Over the span of 33 years, the “community go-getter” worked as a teacher, principal and coach. In addition to the SOPHA scholarship, he also helped secure funds for a new firehouse. Even during retirement, Ralph attended regular community meetings, often serving as president of many organizations. Hereford.org
Ralph (l) and his brother Harry in the early 1900s.
The entire family inherited Ralph’s passion for their community. Larry has leadership roles with the Washington Electric Co-Op, Graysville Village Council, Community Improvement Council, volunteer fire department and many other groups. The retired math teacher also runs a small business with his wife, Donna, selling alternative energy supplies including wood burning stoves. Keith’s own commitment to the community is equally impressive. The Marietta High School math department chair is also the vice president of SOPHA, after taking over his grandfather’s position on the board when Ralph passed away in 2007. Keith also serves on the board of the Buckeye Hereford Association. Additionally, he judges livestock shows and gives fitting and showing demonstrations to 4-Hers and “anyone willing to listen and try.” Christina, who owns a graphic design business in Marietta, notes, “My perspective on why the family is so invested in community is that they’ve all been school teachers. When you have that interaction with kids and families, you have a vested interest in being involved in the community.” Keith is always looking for a teachable moment for those young and old alike. The school teacher recalls a clipping lesson he gave to a boy at the barn. “I basically taught him how to clip just like I teach a math lesson,” Keith says. “I handed him the clippers and said, ‘Clip away.’ And he asked, ‘On this heifer?’ I said, ‘Well, of course on this heifer,’” Keith laughs as he recalls the story. “Since then, that boy has purchased cattle from me, and he’s going to show one of the animals this year at the junior national.” Keith and Christina have instilled the value of organizational involvement into their two collegeage sons. Michael, 21, a mechanical engineering major at the University of Pittsburgh, serves as president of the mechanical engineering society and is working with a research team to develop an imaging system for the International Space Station. Jonny, 18, who will major in audio engineering and music business at Belmont University in Nashville this fall, has volunteered at the Peoples Bank Hereford.org

Competition Keith has loved showing ever since his grandpa gave him his first cow when he was 7 years old. The revenue generated from selling the offspring of “Old Cow 40” paid for Keith’s first year of college. Keith inherited a love of competition but also uses the showring to advertise his business. “If you’re going to use the show arena as a means of advertising, it needs to be cattle you raise. I don’t breed for show cattle, I show breeding cattle,” Keith says. “I’m really proud that our show heifers become our best cows.” The Ullmans maintain that the key to great cattle is the best genetics possible, quality feed, good animal health, and presentation to potential buyers. Three generations of hard work have gone into improving genetics through methods like embryo transfer (ET), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and artificial insemination (AI). The family’s current 60-head herd started in 1951, when Ralph and his wife, Vera, invested in registered polled Herefords. As Keith tells it, his grandfather came “within an eyelash” of starting a Shorthorn operation but, at the last minute, decided on Herefords because of the docile nature of the breed.

breeder at the Ohio State Fair and had two division champions out of four animals exhibited at Keystone. In the past year, the Ullmans have had 15 different Herefords either win their division or win overall grand or reserve champion at a state or national show. “That’s pretty cool for an operation our size,” Keith says. “But with my full-time job as a teacher, it wouldn’t be possible without all of the time my dad invests in the day-to-day operation of the farm. It’s really a team effort.” A self-described perfectionist, Keith washes the show cattle every day and typically competes in eight to 10 shows a year. Performing well in the showring makes marketing cattle fairly easy, especially with Christina’s graphic design expertise in photographing sale cattle and maintaining their website. Coordinating private treaty sales is an aspect Keith particularly enjoys. After calves are weaned off in the fall, Keith tries to bring potential buyers out on weekends and fills those days with as many visits as possible. Buyers come from Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Remaining cattle are sold at the West Virginia Beef Expo, the Ohio Beef Expo, the annual SOPHA sale, and, next year, the Kentucky Beef Expo. Keith stresses the long-term value of a quality female to his buyers. “I know genetics are 50-50, but in my estimation, the quality of the calf is two-thirds the cow and one-third the bull because the cow is the one who has to raise that calf to weaning age,” Keith explains. “I try to emphasize to people that when you purchase a high-quality calf, it should be one that you can count on for generating revenue for 10 years. It’s an investment.” He points to a customer who retained a cow for 18 years. “I asked, ‘Has she been a good cow?’ And he said she’d been the best cow he’s ever had,” Keith says. “It’s so rewarding to hear that.”
Keith in 1992 with the farm’s first state fair champion, Big T Brooke A16.
“He set the framework for our success,” Keith says. “When he passed away, we only had two animals that had been champions at state fairs. Since then, we’ve had over 20 state fair champions.” The ever-competitive Ralph reveled in every success. Christina can still picture him “beaming from ear to ear” when they had the reserve grand champion Hereford female at the Ohio State Fair in 1992. She and her husband agree if Ralph were alive today, he would be ecstatic about the family’s success in the showring. “I remember when I was young, he would be so proud if we won a county fair and would brag to his buddies at the feed store about the winnings,” Keith recalls. “I’d say, ‘Grandpa, it’s just a county fair.’ It didn’t matter if it was big or small. He was very, very competitive.”
Champions Likewise, Keith remembers every champion he had and can rattle off the list of winners from the Ohio State Fair, the West Virginia Fair, the North American International Livestock Exposition, the Eastern National Livestock Show, Keystone International Livestock Exposition and the Ohio Futurity. This past show season has been the Ullman family’s most successful to date, as they were named premier exhibitor and premier

Although gearing up to retire from active teaching, Keith will not soon retire his herd. He will continue improving the growing herd on the family’s 225 acres, rotating cattle among their three properties. Future plans include developing relationships with cooperating recipient herds to expand their ET program. “The relationships and friendships I have made over the years with other people within the Hereford breed have really meant a lot to me,” Keith says. “Building connections is the key to success in business and in life.” It’s those connections that will keep Keith and the Ullman family invested in their community for years to come.

PERFORMANCE HEREFORD GENETICS, IT’S A PROGRAM.
Hereford Mom Diaries
| by Christy Couch Lee
One Foot in Front of the Other I nearly died last week. OK, so maybe not literally, but I promise, my life flashed before my eyes. I earned a trip to a leadership training event in Park City, Utah, with a health and wellness company for which I’m a distributor. One afternoon during the trip, we went to Utah Olympic Park.
Unexpected challenges Our first activity was riding in a bobsled down the 2002 Olympic bobsled course. Talk about intense. We careened through the 15 curves at a speed of about 60 miles per hour. When it ended, I wasn’t sure who I was or where I was. That’s probably how I agreed to partake in the second challenge — a Facing your fears can lend itself to growing personally and setting a good example for the youth around you.
ropes course on the Olympic park grounds. I’m not a fan of heights at all. Based on memories from ropes courses in college, I knew I wasn’t a fan of those, either. I decided I wasn’t a chicken, so I allowed myself to be strapped into a harness and hoisted up about 25 feet in the air to navigate a variety of obstacles involving cables, tightrope walking and balancing on logs. About two obstacles in, I decided I was, in fact, a chicken — but it was too late, and there was no turning back. I had no choice but to continue moving forward despite being terrified. I asked if I could sleep on a platform in the air, rather than continue. I was told that not proceeding wasn’t an option. Being the graceful gal I am, I fell twice. As I hung from my harness in the air — straddling a cable with no earthy idea how to get back up — I had a revelation. I was still alive. I scooted on my behind to the next platform, because I realized I could not get back up once I was down, took a deep breath and tackled the next ridiculous challenge. As I continued from platform to platform, I had a realization — despite being terrified, despite not wanting to take another step, despite wanting nothing more than to get the heck down from those cables — I was doing it. I was moving forward, and I was going to survive.
Stepping forward
The challenges and fears present in a ropes course are a lot like the fears and challenges we have to overcome in life.

How many times have each of us found him- or herself in similar situations in life? Maybe the situation is not agreeing to the insanity of walking on a tightrope
25 feet in the air, but maybe its being faced with a situation in life that we just don’t want to navigate. I can think of many examples just in the past year — whether it is regarding decisions with our three children, tough business conversations or making the best choices for our aging family members — when I just didn’t want to. I was ready to turn in my adult card, climb in my blanket fort, and be done. Unfortunately, that’s not a choice, and we have to continue moving forward. I am certain our children are watching us. What better lesson can they learn from us than to keep doing the hard things, even when we don’t want to? Our children are, no doubt, going to encounter tough situations throughout their entire lives: dealing with a difficult coworker, exhibiting great sportsmanship after an unfair result in the showring, making a seemingly no-win decision regarding a child or a parent or having a tough conversation with a friend. I promise, their first reaction in many of those situations will be to turn and run. Teaching them from a young age they can, in fact, do these hard things — that they can stand firm while taking one step at a time — will help them grow and achieve more than they could ever imagine. As parents, let’s strive to be that example of overcoming fear to overcome challenges. Not only will it help our children develop into strong, successful adults — it will also help us to achieve success, too. From now on though, I’m going to be an example with both feet on the ground.

We are excited to announce that Ade Polled Herefords is back in business with a new generation. My father, Robert Ade, was one of the early believers in Polled Herefords starting back in the late 1940’s in Indiana. Keeping records to improve his herd as well as the breed was at the top of his goals. This past year we believe we have established one of the top Polled Hereford herds in the country. We thank Art and Jean Linton from Miller, Nebraska for the opportunity to purchase their entire herd. Linton Polled Herefords is and has been one of the top performance herds in the country. The HYALITE prefix can be seen in many of the top producing bulls and females in the country. At Ade Polled Herefords we are very excited about our fall and spring calf crop this year. It’s been a busy year getting our program off the ground to provide the industry with cattle that can perform at the highest level for registered and commercial programs. We have bull battery second to none providing some of the best genetics and performance you can find.

the bald-faced truth about Hereford Genetics Take advantage of hybrid vigor with Hereford genetics.
Hereford Advantage
Use the Hereford Advantage program to increase added market power and brand recognition with feeder cattle sired by a Hereford bull battery ranking in the top 50% for the CHB$ index.
Maternal Advantage
The Maternal Advantage program generates females with added longevity, more docility, increased fertility and more profit per year. Can be utilized by producers using Hereford bulls on British-based cows or Brahmanbased cows in their breeding program.
Premium Red Baldy
Premium Red Baldy is designed to take advantage of the best traits of both Hereford and Red Angus. Females must be sired by bulls in the top 50% of the breed for Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) or Herdbuilder Index (HB).

Not long after, Fred began his livestock-marketing career as a field representative for the Charolais Way.

4 / 2018 Hereford Handbook
The basic concept of beef cattle performance records is to measure genetic differences between animals for traits of economic importance. The American Hereford Association (AHA) recognizes the importance of performance records in today’s beef industry and through Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™), can provide a system flexible enough to meet the needs of the most sophisticated recordkeeping breeder or those who desire to keep only the basics. Within herd and contemporary group records generated through Whole Herd TPR are measures for calving intervals, birth weights, weaning weights, yearling weights, scrotal circumference, hip height/frame measures and ratios for most of these measures. Good within-herd records include information obtained at birth, weaning, yearling and ultrasound carcass data. These within-herd and contemporarygroup records are adjusted for known environmental sources of variation in animal performance such as age of dam, age of calf, etc. Competition for commercial industry purchasing power between and within breeds is keen, and those breeders who document their seedstock’s performance for the commercial man’s investment have a distinct advantage in today’s beef industry as it moves toward “specification production” from conception to slaughter. Whole Herd TPR is a system of registration and performance tracking whereby every participating breeder updates his/her cow herd inventory annually and is charged for performance data on a per cow basis as opposed to a per calf basis. The system is positively endorsed by the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF), a North American umbrella organization of beef breed associations, beef producers, researchers and the academic community. With this system, the AHA measures economically relevant beef production traits such as fertility, longevity and reproductive efficiency. Furthermore, the greater volume of data reported from each herd for measured growth and carcass traits enhances the accuracy of Hereford expected progeny differences (EPDs). Participation in Whole Herd TPR is voluntary and breeders may choose
to maintain pedigree records without recording performance information, so EPDs or other performance information is not printed on their registry certificates. Call the AHA to get your herd enrolled in the performance registry program, to get set up with MyHerd.org or if you are currently enrolled and have questions.
Whole Herd TPR steps: Step 1:
• Show an accurate inventory record of each female in your herd that is expected to calve in your selected season. • AHA invoices the breeder for his inventory costs in accordance with the number and kind of animals reported. • Following data submission, AHA provides a Dam Production Summary Report for each enrolled female. • AHA returns Birth Information Worksheets (Form 1)
Step 2:
• As calving is completed, breeders are required to return to AHA a Birth Information Worksheet (Form 1) with the birth information for every female enrolled in that season, including data on any that failed to calve, lost a calf, etc. • AHA returns Birth Report/ Weaning Worksheet (Form 2)
Step 3:
• Member submits completed Birth Report/Weaning Worksheet (Form 2) reporting weaning weight information or a disposal code for animals not weighed. • AHA returns to the breeder the Weaning Report/Yearling Worksheet (Form 3). • Note: Yearling information is not mandatory.
Step 4:
• When the breeder returns Form 3 to AHA, a yearling report (Form 4) and calf crop EPD summary (Form 5) is provided. • If ultrasound carcass data is collected, technician submits carcass data directly to an AHA-approved ultrasound lab that will process the data and forward results to AHA for database inclusion.
Gold Whole Herd TPR™ Breeders
The Gold TPR Breeder recognition is presented to progressive Hereford breeders who have measured traits and collected and promptly submitted performance data at all levels of production. Breeders must meet a specific set of requirements in order to be eligible for the program. • Herd inventory submitted prior to inventory surcharge deadline. • Complete reporting of calving ease and reproductive status for each dam on inventory. • Complete reporting of birth, weaning and yearling weights for all live calves recorded in the calf crop. • Complete reporting of scrotal measurements for each bull calf with a recorded yearling weight. • Ultrasound data reported on 25% or more of the calf crop.
Platinum Whole Herd TPR Breeders
The Platinum TPR Breeder is the highest level of achievement when it comes to complete calf crop reporting. Breeders must meet all the requirements of Gold TPR Breeder status, plus they must also genotype 85% of the calves with a weaning weight submitted. The time requirement to do this will fall under the same two-year compliancy rule. The results of the genotype will need to be completed by Jan. 1 of the recognition year. As a result, the first award winners of this prestigious and progressive award will be recognized in the spring of 2020 and will be based on the 2018 calf crop.
Sharpen up on traits
Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF) – The AHA’s new Sustained Cow Fertility EPD is a prediction of a cow’s ability to continue to calve from 3 years of age through 12 years of age, given she calved as a 2-year- old. The EPD is expressed as a deviation in the proportion of the ten-possible calvings to 12 years old expressed as a probability. For example, the daughters of a bull with a 30 EPD would have the genetic potential to have one more calf by age 12 then the daughters from a bull with a 20 EPD. In other words, the daughters from the 30 EPD bull would have a 10% greater probability of having one more calf than daugters of the bull with a 20 EPD. This is equivalent to saying that the daughters are 10% more likely to remain in the heard to age 12.
Dry Matter Intake (DMI) – The Dry Matter Intake EPD predicts the daily consumption of pounds of feed. For example, if sire A has a DM EPD of 1.1 and sire B has a DMI EPD of 0.1, you would expect sire B’s progeny, if compared mated, to consume on average 1 pound of feed less per day. Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) – The Baldy Maternal Index is a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Hereford x Angus cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed toward Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®). This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Cow Weight and Milk which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do no increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on Dry Matter Intake by a positive weighting on Carcass Weight, which is anticipated to provide profitability from finishing of nonreplacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Rib-eye Area are also positively weighted to keep the harvested progeny successful for CHB. This index is geared to identify Hereford bulls that will be profitable when used in a rotational cross with mature commercial Angus cows. Brahman Influence Index (BII$) – The Brahman Influence Index is a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Brahman x Hereford cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed toward a commodity beef market since CHB does not accept Brahmaninfluenced cattle. This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Cow Weight and Milk, which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on Dry Matter Intake but a positive weighting on Carcass Weight, which is anticipated to provide a profitability in finishing nonreplacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Rib-eye Area are also positively weighted to keep harvested progeny successful for a variety of commodity-based programs. This index targets producers that use Hereford bulls on Brahman-influenced cows. Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) – The Certified Hereford Beef Index is a terminal sire index
that is built on a production system where Hereford bulls are mated to mature commercial Angus cows and all progeny will be targeted for CHB after the finishing phase. This index has significant weight on Carcass Weight to ensure profit on the rail. As well there is a positive weighting for Average Daily Gain along with a negative weighting on Dry Matter Intake to ensure efficient pounds of growth in the finishing phase. Keep in mind, this production system takes advantage of complementary breeding with the commercial Angus cow. Although Marbling is weighted positively in this index, a positive weighting for Rib-eye Area and a negative weighting for Back Fat are a greater priority in this index to allow for optimum end-product merit. This is the only index that has no emphasis on fertility. Remember that no replacement heifers are being retained. For additional trait information, visit the Genetics section of Hereford.org.
More frequent genetic evaluations
In December of 2017, the AHA implemented several updates to its genetic evaluation that include the implementation of a Single Step model for better incorporation of genomics, the ability to calculate, not estimate, EPD accuracies and allowing only animals to enter the evaluation that are born after the advent of Whole Herd (TPR) but also include three generations of pedigree. Along with this, key economically relevant traits (ERTs) as well as updated economic parameters are included in the three revised selection indexes. The updates of all of these techniques have allowed the AHA to offer a very reliable and comprehensive genetic evaluation that embraces the most up-to-date technology. Just as important, the AHA’s genetic evaluation is run weekly. Evaluations are released each Monday morning. Data that are submitted by midnight on Saturdays will be reflected in the genetic evaluation released on the following Monday. For example, for data to be reflected in the EPD release that will occur on Aug. 13, 2018, data will need to be summited by Aug. 4, 2018, at midnight. Planning ahead is crucial to be sure all phenotypic data (weights and ultrasound information) as well as genotypes are submitted well in advance to ensure appropriate data is reflected in the EPD. 2018 Hereford Handbook / 5

Commercial Programs The American Hereford Association (AHA) is committed to growing demand for Hereford genetics and providing breeders tools backed by uncompromised data and sound research that drive profit. Additionally, the Association has long been dedicated to offering its members the most robust genetic evaluation possible. Developing tools to provide commercial cattlemen with information to advance their programs through heterosis is a major focus of the AHA. The Hereford Advantage, Premium Red Baldy and Maternal Advantage programs are three resources developed to assist commercial cattlemen with incorporating Hereford genetics into their programs more successfully and adding value to their operations. For more information regarding any commercial programs, contact Trey Befort, AHA director of commercial programs, at tbefort@herefordbeef.org.
Hereford Advantage Program
The Hereford Advantage program allows commercial breeders to identify genetically backed, high-quality Hereford and Hereford-influenced feeder cattle and to add value to cattle that meet the program requirements. The program saw significant growth in fiscal year (FY) 2017 participation compared to FY16, experiencing a 120% increase. More commercial producers are utilizing this program to market their feeder cattle, and the increased utilization speaks to the genetic progress that has been made as more lots met the program requirements over the previous FY. To participate, producers must complete and submit an online form found at HerefordFeederCattle.com. Participants must have registered Hereford bulls with transferred ownership. Additionally, the Hereford bull battery average $CHB index* value ranking must be in the top 50% of the breed. Once the paperwork is received, the information will be reviewed, and a sire summary with expected progeny difference (EPD) rankings with be returned. If all program requirements are met, the group information will be
placed under the “Feeder Cattle Listings” page on the Hereford.org website. Producers will also receive additional marketing support, and they may use the program logo for all marketing purposes. * The Certified Hereford Beef Index ($CHB) is a terminal sire index that is built on a production system where Hereford bulls are used on British-cross cows with a focus on gain and end-product merit.
Premium Red Baldy Program
Premium Red Baldy is a tagging program designed to take advantage of hybrid vigor by maximizing the best traits of both Hereford and Red Angus and providing commercial producers with premium replacement females. The program has the ideal balance of maternal and carcass traits, which will yield cattle poised to increase the profitability of the commercial producer. Premium Red Baldy uses genetics supported by the only two beef breed associations backed by whole herd reporting. Producers interested in verifying their bull battery should call their respective breed representative to complete the verification process and to order Allflex tags for $0.99 each. Interested breeders will contact Trey Befort, AHA director of commercial programs, at tbefort@herefordbeef.org or Chessie Mitchell, RAAA tag program coordinator, at chessie@redangus.org. Breeders must provide registration numbers for Hereford or Red Angus sires used at that time. A short phone interview will be conducted, and upon completion, tags will be shipped to the producer for qualifying females. Only enough tags to match the number of red-bodied and white- or brockle-faced females born on the operation will be issued. It is also important to note Premium Red Baldy is not a Process Verified Program (PVP) through the United States Department of Agriculture.
Qualifications
• Female-only program – No steers will be tagged in this non-PVP tagging program. • Females must be sired by a bull battery ranking in the top 50%
Director of commercial programs: Trey Befort tbefort@herefordbeef.org HerefordFeederCattle.com
of the breed for Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) or Herdbuilder Index (HB). Registration must also be transferred to the participating producer. • Targeted breed percentages on qualified females will range from 25%-75% Red Angus and Hereford, with a small allowance for other breeds. • Females must be red-bodied with either a bald or brockle face. • No black-hided cattle will be admitted regardless of genetic makeup.
Maternal Advantage Program
This new female-focused program is designed to take advantage of hybrid vigor by capitalizing on Hereford genetics. The program generates females with added longevity, more docility, increased fertility and more profit per year. Producers using Hereford bulls on British-based or Brahmanbased females in their breeding program can utilize this program. To take advantage of the program, producers must verify that eligible females are sired by registered Hereford bulls. Participating bull batteries must rank in the top 50% of the breed for Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) if used on British-based females or the top 50% of the breed for Brahman Influence Index (BII$) if used on Brahman-based females. Both of these maternally focused indexes are geared to identify Hereford bulls that will be profitable when used in a rotational cross with mature commercial Angusinfluenced or Brahman-influenced females. Both BMI$ and BII$ have significant weight on the AHA’s Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF) expected progeny difference (EPD), which predicts fertility and longevity of females. They also have an emphasis on growth, efficiency and end-product merit for nonretained females. 2018 Hereford Handbook / 7

What is HYFA?
Scholarships were Hereford Youth Foundation of America’s (HYFA) first mission in the fall of 2004, when the first $750 Gary Bishop Scholarship was awarded. In 2005 it was followed by $4,750 with the addition of the Bob and Dolores Call Scholarship and the unveiling of the $5 million capital endowment campaign. Thanks to the late Bill and Jo Ellard, the EE Ranches, Inc., $200,000 endowment led to $18,250 in scholarships being awarded in the fall of 2006. This endowment was the beginning of great things to come for HYFA, and 11 years later, HYFA proudly has awarded $170,000 after the summer scholarships have been dispersed. This kind of growth is monumental. The foundation has also added the ColeyMalir Leadership Endowment and HYFA will contribute $15,000 to the Faces of Leadership Conference this year. In addition, junior members experience various other educational opportunities in and outside of the showring each year through the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) and the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout. As HYFA nears the four million dollar mark for total net assets, here is a quick glance at how the foundation is giving back and the programs that are being funded:

There are many ways to get involved and to show support at different levels. The Feed the Future program, in partnership with BioZyme® Inc., presents a tremendous opportunity for HYFA and gives back $1 for each bag or tub of product sold to a Hereford member. It only takes a minute to text receipts to 816-383-3109.
The Foundation 1 Club, started by Sierra Ranches at its Western Treasures Volume 1 sale this fall is another avenue offering huge growth for HYFA in the coming years. In Denver, the Coleman family presented its first check to HYFA. To date $15,000 has been generated through the Foundation 1 Club with 1% of proceeds from Sierra Ranches’ sale and the Ladies of the Royal and the 2018 Mile High Night National Hereford Sales. HYFA is proud to announce their newest member of the Foundation 1 Club, the Hereford Prep Collection, Refugio, Texas. Hereford Prep is a stylish clothing line for livestock enthusiasts. Hereford Prep was created to provide unique opportunities for young people to learn more about operating a business. Their young interns are the main drivers behind the business, which provides them with not only job experience but scholarship opportunities also. Their interns design the clothing line, model and sell the products across the country. They attend many of the major stock shows across the United States, including the 2018 JNHE in Grand Island, Neb. Visit their online shop at HerefordPrep.com and with each purchase a percent is being donated to HYFA.
Come grow with HYFA
Breeder, industry and corporate support is vital to HYFA’s success. Since HYFA is a 501(c)(3) corporation all contributions are tax deductible and no gift is too big or too small when it comes to supporting the foundation. HYFA supports the programs and activities that not only benefit the Hereford breed today but also helps establish the future of the Hereford breed for tomorrow’s youth. The most common methods of giving include cash donations, stocks, sponsorships and memorials.

Mission statement
The National Junior Hereford Association’s (NJHA) mission is to create and promote enthusiasm for the Hereford breed while providing opportunities through leadership, education and teamwork, thus ensuring a brighter future for youth and the cattle industry. The NJHA is one of the largest, strongest and most active junior programs in the country. The NJHA, through its extensive leadership programs, continues to lay the foundation for the beef industry’s future leaders. It is fun to watch as members of this association graduate from the junior ranks and go on to be leaders, not only in the Hereford breed but in the entire agriculture industry. It is so rewarding to see past junior directors leading the American Hereford Association (AHA) Board and using some of the skills and networks they gained from serving on the junior board to help them be the best adult leaders they can be. NJHA membership is on the rise, and in 2017, 3,307 active members took advantage of all the opportunities available to Hereford youth through the association. Do you want to be a member of the NJHA? If you are under the age of 22 and love Hereford cattle, you can join. Just simply fill out the online form found on the website JrHereford.org. Then you’re on your way to being a member of one of the largest junior beef breed organizations in the world.
Junior National Hereford Expo
Voted Best of the Barns in 2017 and one of the largest junior beef breed shows in the U.S., the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) is a highlight of the NJHA’s summer activities. It is held every July and is cosponsored by the AHA, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and affiliated state Hereford associations. Known to many as the ultimate family vacation, this summer spectacular provides an opportunity for competition between junior members and their cattle projects. A hands-on program for youth provides educational, leadership and motivational forums. During the event, youth can participate in more than 20 skill-based contests. Mark your calendars — the 2018 JNHE will be in Grand Island, Neb., July 1-7 and will be themed “All Aboard The Hereford Express.” In 2019 the JNHE is headed to Denver, Colo., for “Herefords on the Hill” July 6-13, and in 2020 the event will be back in Louisville, Ky.
NJHA Important Dates and Deadlines 2018 Conference
Faces of Leadership and NJHA Fed Steer Shootout contest
It’s not all about showing Herefords. While the JNHE promotes learning aspects of showing cattle and educational activities associated with relative contests, the NJHA’s annual Faces of Leadership Conference focuses on leadership development. Junior members from all parts of the country participate in the event each year. During the three-day event, more than 100 participants listen to nationally known speakers and participate in junior board workshops, which assist in the enhancement of the individual’s leadership talents, communication skills and beef-industry knowledge. In the past few years, the event has traveled to Idaho, Michigan State University, Arkansas, South Dakota State University, Estes Park, Colo., the Texas Panhandle and Kansas State University. From the amazing ranch tours to upclose looks at the industry at Tyson Foods and Trans Ova Genetics and the latest research being conducted at the various universities, Faces of Leadership participants truly are experiencing all facets of the industry during this tremendous networking opportunity. The NJHA is excited to head west this summer and will be in Modesto, Calif., Aug. 1-4. This conference is offered to junior members ages 14-21.

Elected to lead
Twelve outstanding Hereford juniors serve each year on the NJHA board of directors. Every year, four board members are elected to three-year terms at the annual membership meeting, which is held in conjunction with the JNHE. During their term, directors develop and implement
programs and events that serve junior Hereford members across the nation. Traveling on behalf of the NJHA to various activities enables them to meet fellow members and to share their thoughts and experiences of Hereford involvement. They also get first-hand experience in leadership, cooperation and organization. The NJHA board also makes recommendations for new programs and presents ideas to the AHA Board of Directors. They help train other juniors, and they promote the Hereford breed at various activities and events throughout the year. NJHA board applications are due June 1 each year, and all of the guidelines, bylaws and requirements may be found at JrHereford.org.

2018 Hereford Handbook / 13
Hereford Show Information AHA Show Rules • Cattle entered must be registered in the Herd Book of the American Hereford Association (AHA). Entries with registrations “pending” or illegible tattoos or improper tattoos as shown on the registration certificate at check-in time are ineligible for competition. Exhibitors are subject to the Association’s special rule on class qualification. Entries in these classes are accepted with the understanding that the exhibitor agrees to abide by the rule in all respects. • The exhibition of cattle displaying false hair will not be allowed. • Any product administered internally or used externally to alter the conformation of an animal for exhibition is prohibited. This includes the use of graphite, hemp or other similar substances externally and steroids or growth stimulants internally. • The act of artificially filling animals internally, which includes stomach pumping, drench tubes or any other method by mouth or esophagus, is prohibited. • All animals shown in group classes must have been shown in their respective single-age class. No transfer from one (1) breed to another, after entry, will be permitted. • Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) values will be provided to the judge and audience for all animals shown. Animals without EPD data are eligible to show but will have N/A (not available) in place of missing data. • It is recommended by the AHA Show Committee that classes with 10 or more head be considered to be split, depending on animals’ birthdates in each particular class. • Any animal without a legible tattoo will not be eligible to show.
• All Hereford animals must be officially recorded (registered) thirty (30) days prior to show date to be eligible to show at a National Hereford Show. • An animal that is scurred (scurs are small, rudimentary horns that are loosely attached to the head, which are considered to be expressed only in animals that are genetically heterozygous for the polled gene) will show in the polled division of Hereford shows. Once an animal is confirmed to be scurred by an AHA field representative, then this designation will be placed on the animal’s registration papers. Once this determination has been made and reported to the AHA office, then the owner may remove the scurs. Animals with scurs removed will show in the polled division of Hereford shows. Once an animal is confirmed polled or scurred, it will retain this designation forever. • The individual classes will be made up and divided after the cattle are checked in at the show. They will be judged from the youngest to the oldest animal within each class. • Calves on the side of cow-calf pairs MUST BE the cow’s natural calf. • For cattle exhibited at the National Western Stock Show › Exhibitors with senior bull calves and/or intermediate, yearling and senior bulls are required to provide a licensed veterinarian’s statement indicating the bull has been semen checked and evaluated as fertile. Semen evaluation is to occur within 90 days of the show. This statement must be presented at check-in during the National Western Stock Show. › Exhibitors with females in the spring and junior yearling divisions must be confirmed pregnant within 45 days of show by a licensed veterinarian or by blood test or show with a calf at side.
AHA Show Classifications The decision to have both a Hereford and polled Hereford show or to have a combined show will be left up to the discretion of the state breed associations and show management.

Rules and classifications
Exhibitors in Hereford classes are subject to the Association’s special rule on class qualification, and any animal without a legible tattoo will not be eligible for show. For state and regional shows, all Hereford animals must be officially recorded at show time to be eligible to show. For national shows all Hereford animals must be officially recorded (registered) 30 days prior to the show date to be eligible to show. Entries with registrations “Pending” or “Applied for” will be ineligible to show.
Group classes
Get-of-sire — Four animals shown in above single-entry classes with both sexes represented and all progeny of one sire. It is permissible to use either the cow or calf from a cowcalf pair for the get-of-sire. Get-of-sire may be comprised of animals from one or more owners and of both horned and polled animals. Best six head — All animals must have been shown in their respective single-entry classes, and they must be owned by the exhibitor or by a member of his/her immediate family. A cow-calf will be considered as two head in the best six head class. Best six head may be comprised of both horned and polled animals.
Premier exhibitor, Premier breeder
Awarded with the following point system: first place = 5 points, second place = 4 points, third place = 3 points, fourth place = 2 points and fifth place = 1 point. No points will be given for champions. Points will be awarded for the best six head for premier exhibitor. The same scoring system as above will be used for awarding points for the group classes. It is suggested that banners be given to the premier exhibitor and the premier breeder. 2018 Hereford Handbook / 15
AHA Show Classifications continued
National junior show ownership rule
Cow-calf pairs, heifers and steers may be jointly owned by siblings provided all are individual members of the National Junior Hereford Association and are between the ages of 7 and 22 as of January 1 of the current year. No animal is eligible to compete if recorded in joint ownership (other than the sibling rule) or ownership of farm or family name. Bred-and-owned bulls, however, may be owned by the exhibitor, a ranch/family name as long as the junior exhibitor is also the breeder.

Points for national and regional show bull and show female of the year will be based on the Regional Show Point System. Animals do not have to show in a regional show in order to be eligible for show bull or female of the year in the respective four quadrants. An animal may only win show bull or female of the year for one quadrant per year. Ownership percentage followed by ownership succession (breeder, first owner, second owner, etc.) will determine from which quadrant the animal will be recognized.
AHA point shows and awards • Official results from the show staff must be submitted within 30 days of completion of the show. • Results must contain the following: › Eight-digit AHA registration number › Complete registration name as recorded in the AHA registration system › Owner(s) as listed on the papers from the AHA registration system • In order for results to be included in the calculation for show animals of the year, shows must have at least 25 head exhibited at the show. • Shows that are listed as a national or regional point show as specified by the AHA show and sale committee will submit results to Bailey Clanton with the AHA at bclanton@hereford.org or mail them to American Hereford Association, Attn: Bailey Clanton, 11500 N.

AHA Rules and Regulations SECTION I: MEMBERSHIP A. Membership Types
1. Life membership 2. Annual (recording) membership 3. Junior membership 4. Non-resident membership
B. Life membership
Life memberships that were purchased in the past will continue to be recognized by the Association. Life members only pay member service fees and do not pay dues. Life members may attend all meetings of the Association. They have voting rights at all official membership meetings as long as they are active members (have registered at least one animal in the previous calendar year). Life members receive member rate fees for registering and transferring Hereford cattle. Lifetime memberships can be transferred to immediate family members; however, the membership name must remain the same.
C. Annual (recording) membership
Recording memberships are annual memberships issued by the Association in the name of an individual, farm or ranch, partnerships or corporation. To remain active, the recording member must pay annual dues on the anniversary date of their joining as a recording member. Recording members may attend all meetings of the Association. They have voting rights at all official membership meetings as long as they are active members (have registered at least one animal in the previous calendar year). Recording members receive member rate fees for registering and transferring Hereford cattle.
D. Junior membership
Junior membership in the Association is available to anyone under 22 years of age. The fee for junior membership is $15, assessed annually on September 1. The junior membership is available until the holder reaches his or her 22nd birthday. At that time, he/she may acquire an adult (life or recording) membership. Junior members have all of the privileges of recording members (except voting) including member rate fees for registering and transferring Hereford cattle, as well as participating in junior activities and scholarships.
E. Non-resident membership
Non-resident members are non-voting members residing in another country that wish to take advantage of member services including registry, total performance recording, selling of semen to members, and transfer of ownership of animals to other members. Non-resident members are subject to the same rules and fees as U.S. resident members.
F. Annual member service fee
Lifetime, recording and junior memberships require an annual member service fee of $100 ($20 for junior members) in order to register an animal during the current fiscal year. The fiscal year is September 1 through August 31. Each paid member service fee will generate a one-year subscription to the Hereford World magazine (except in the case of a junior membership). This fee is used to offset the costs of several under-funded services offered active registry accounts.
G. Membership herd designation
The Association has two different tiers or levels that members can participate in when registering and transferring Hereford cattle. The mechanisms for billing of services and services available are different between each of the tiers; therefore, each
membership account must be designated as to which tier or level the member’s herd will participate in. Each membership can have only one participation level designation. The two tiers and a brief description of each are as follows: Pedigree registry: This participation level is designed for breeders who wish to register and transfer purebred Hereford cattle but are not interested in maintaining and reporting performance data to AHA. Pedigree registry breeders can submit registry and transfer applications on a per head fee basis established by the Board of Directors. Pedigree breeders choose to waive performance recording on their animals and, therefore, waive the production of EPDs on their herd. Performance registry: This participation level is structured and oriented to simplify the billing and reporting of performance testing herds. Registry and transfer fees are assessed at the same rate as for pedigree breeders. Performance registry breeders are also required to maintain an accurate and up-to-date female inventory, listing all females currently in their breeding herd with AHA. Performance registry breeders are required to annually report calving ease and weaning weight information on the produce of every female in the inventory. Additional measures including birth and yearling weights, as well as carcass traits, can be reported but are not required. EPDs will be printed on the certificate. EPDs will only be reported on registered animals. Nonregistered animals or genetic material will not be provided EPDs.
SECTION II: AHA RECORDS, RULES AND POLICY
Application for registration of your calves is a part of the record keeping requirement of Hereford cattle. Extra careful attention to detail in submitting applications for registration will save time for you and your Association. Be sure all information is supplied and that information is accurate and legible. Applying for registry of your calves when they are still young (four months or younger) is important, SINCE IT REDUCES THE RISK OF ERROR AND SAVES YOU BOTH TIME AND MONEY. There is one basic form used by the Association for registration application. Breeders participating at the pedigree registry level should disregard the fields of information used to submit birth performance data. Reports generated from the processing of registration applications will be appropriate for the breeder’s level of participation.
Tattooing calves:
Tattoos are a requirement for registry in the American Hereford Record. Hereford breeders were the first to adopt the ear tattoo as a requirement for registry. A tattoo outfit consists of a pair of specially designed pliers with rows of digits numbered 0 to 9 and a bottle of India ink. Such equipment may be purchased from most livestock supply stores. Select the desired number by rotating the digits in the ear marker. Before punching the animal’s ear, assure yourself that everything is in order by punching a piece of cardboard. Next, restrain the calf’s head so as to prevent violent movement while applying the tattoo. Select a spot in the center of the ear and clean thoroughly with a cloth and rubbing alcohol. Avoid placing the tattoo over one of the ribs of the ear but rather place the tattoo between the ribs of the ear. Place the ear between the jaws of the pliers with the numbers or letters on the inside of the ear. Close the pliers quickly and firmly and then release. Use a finger or toothbrush to smear ink over the punctures made by the tattoo and rub thoroughly until ink is worked into each of the holes. Make a written record of the marks placed in the ear. It is strongly advised that breeders place 2018 Hereford Handbook / 25
AHA Rules and Regulations continued
the tattoo in both ears to enhance the chances that a complete tattoo identity can be established.
Herd Book of the American Hereford Association
Rule 1. OFFICIAL RECORD: The official record of the Association shall be the American Hereford Record. Such record shall be maintained in the AHA office. Rule 2. HERD BOOK: Entries in the American Hereford Record shall contain the registration number, name, sex, tattoo, date of birth, name and registry number of the sire and dam and the name of the breeder.
SECTION III: REGISTRATIONS
Rule 1. PRIVILEGES OF REGISTRATION: Applications for entry will only be accepted from members. Non-members must become members in order to register an animal. Rule 2. ELIGIBILITY: To be eligible for entry in the American Hereford Record, an animal must be the offspring of registered parents, both of which have been previously recorded in the American Hereford Record. Both horned and polled Herefords are eligible for entry into the record. Herefords registered in other associations (members of the World Hereford Council) can be entered in the American Hereford Record, thereby making their offspring eligible for registration. Rule 3. APPLICATION FOR ENTRY: Application for entry should be made on the official application form (FORM 1) or through an official AHA approved electronic software system. Rule 4. AGE OF SIRE: There is no minimum or maximum age specified for a Hereford sire or his progeny to be eligible for entry. However, applications indicating the sire was less than nine months of age at time of service will be questioned for accuracy. Rule 5. AGE OF DAM: There is no minimum or maximum age specified for a Hereford dam or her progeny to be eligible for entry. However, applications indicating that the dam was less than nine months of age time of conception will be questioned for accuracy. Rule 6. 283-DAY RULE: A calf born less than 283 days after the birth of its dam’s previous calf will be questioned. The breeder must then provide an explanation for the early delivery and a ruling will be made as to whether the entry will be allowed. Rule 7. 21-DAY RULE: Females exposed to one bull must not be exposed to another bull in less than 21 days after such exposure. Avoiding double or multiple exposures will help provide positive identification of the service sire. Exposure to a second bull in less than 21 days might mean the correct service sire cannot be positively identified, requiring DNA typing of both sires, the dam and the calf. Rule 8. DNA TYPING: • All Hereford bulls born after Jan. 1, 2011, are required to be DNA typed at the official AHA DNA laboratory before their progeny can be registered. • Whenever the eligibility for registration of any animal is in doubt because of uncertain or unknown parentage, DNA typing by the Association shall be required. Rule 9. MULTIPLE BIRTH: Twins or other multiple birth calves are eligible for registration. The application for registry, however, should specify such at birth.
26 / 2018 Hereford Handbook
Rule 10. TATTOO: Calves must be tattooed before application for registry is made. Each breeder may devise his own plan or system of tattoo identification using either numbers or letters or a combination of both. Any marks other than numbers or letters, however, are not permitted — meaning brand marks, symbols, etc. cannot be used. Duplication of tattoos within your herd is strongly discouraged as tattoos are frequently used by breeders as a primary form of identification. Duplication can lead to much confusion for breeder and the Association office alike. The tattoo in one ear shall be limited to a maximum of eight characters. If the tattoo should become illegible, the same marking shall be placed in a different area of the ear. No attempt shall be made to alter or over-imprint the old tattoo. The Association must be notified when an animal is re-tattooed. Rule 11. NAMING HEREFORDS: It is the responsibility of the owner to select names for his cattle. The name must not be more than 30 spaces long, counting spaces between words. For example, PRINCE DOMINO ADVANCE JUNO 133 is exactly 30 spaces long. Brands, symbols and commas cannot be used. Avoid duplicating names as no two Herefords should be named the same. It is the breeder’s responsibility to avoid using names and prefixes that are being used by other breeders. Names should be appropriate for the gender of the animal, and it is recommended that names reflect the line of breeding where possible. Embryo transfer calves will carry the designation embryo transfer (ET) at the end of their name, accounting for three spaces. The Association reserves the right to change the name assigned to an animal on an application for registry if the name submitted is deemed to be inappropriate. Rule 12. CHANGING NAMES: The name of a Hereford may be changed, provided the animal has no registered offspring. The name may be changed only once in the lifetime of an animal. All owners must agree to the name change in the case of a partnership owned animal. Letters must be submitted from the first and all current owners requesting the change of name along with the certificate and required fee. Rule 13. JOINT OWNERSHIP (BREEDING INTEREST): No application for registration or transfer of an animal which shows more than four owners shall be accepted for entry in the American Hereford Record. Rule 14. DUPLICATE CERTIFICATES: If original certificates are lost or destroyed, the owner may secure duplicates from the Association by providing the sex, registry number and tattoo of each animal. If the registry number is not available, the registration number of the dam, name of the person who registered the animal, and the sex, age and tattoo of the animal in question must be provided. The fee for duplicate certificates for member and nonmembers is available from the AHA Records Department. Rule 15. CORRECTION OF CERTIFICATES: It is recognized that occasionally errors are committed in registering cattle, and these should be corrected. If an error is discovered, it should be reported to the Association immediately and the incorrect certificate returned with a letter of explanation. Corrections are made without charge if done within six months of the issue date or if the Association made the error. The fee for making corrections after the six-month period is available from the AHA Records Department. Rule 16. ARTIFICIAL SERVICE: Calves may be registered that were produced through artificial insemination (AI) provided they comply with the rules governing AI as discussed in SECTION V: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION.
Rule 17. ELIGIBILITY FOR EMBRYO TRANSPLANT CALVES: Registration of offspring resulting from Embryo Transplant (ET) shall be made on an Application for Registration (Form 1). Certificates issued shall be designated by ET following the name of the calf. The name must be no longer than 30 characters long including the ET designation. Registry of offspring resulting from ET may be implemented only after the following steps have been taken: • DNA profile of sire and donor dam must be recorded with the Association. DNA profile kits are available from the Association. The names and registry numbers of the animals to be tissue sampled must be supplied. • Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service must accompany the application for each calf when the sire is not in the same recorded ownership as the donor dam. Rule 17A. NEW EMBRYO TRANSFER POLICY: For ET calves there will no longer be an ET certificate required for registration. The new requirement for registering an ET calf will be the reporting of the recovery date of the embryo at the time of registry. ET calves will be charged an additional $10 per head over and above the normal registry rate. Rule 18. LEASING HEREFORDS: Herefords may be leased, provided a statement of lease is on file with the Association. If a lease statement is on file listing each animal being leased by name and registration number, the lessee can register calves sired by the bulls or produced by the cows as if he were the actual owner, provided there are no more than three owners already listed. At the end of the lease period, unless extended, registration privileges revert back to the recorded owner. In order to make this process more efficient and less confusing, the Association will adopt the following policies regarding leasing Hereford cattle. • The required information needed by the Association for leasing animals will be communicated using one consistent and common lease form to be used by all members wishing to participate in this type of practice. The lease form will contain only the required information for the Association’s needs and is to be used expressly for that intent. The lease form should not be construed as a binding agreement between the lessor and lessee. The Association shall in no way be involved in or assume liability for the lease, terms of the lease of registered Herefords, or the passage of legal rights thereto. • All lease periods must include a beginning and ending date; no open-ended leases will be accepted. • All animals involved in the lease shall be included on the lease form(s) by their registration number and name. • The lease form must be submitted by the lessor with his/ her signature. • Should the lessor and lessee agree to extend the lease, documented notification will be required in the Association’s office should the birth dates of any calves being registered out of sire or dams involved in the lease not coincide with the time period of the lease. • If the lessor or lessee wishes to lease additional or different animals, then an additional lease form(s) should be completed with all required information and submitted by the lessor. Rule 19. IMPORTED HEREFORDS: Herefords imported from another country must be recorded in the American Hereford Record if their calves are to be registered. Registration of imported cattle must be accomplished within one year from the date of purchase of imported cattle. See
section for the procedures for recording imported cattle or semen interests in bulls from another country. Rule 20. REGISTRATION OF HEREFORDS OVER TWO YEARS OF AGE: Application for registration of an animal received by the Association after two years from the date of birth shall be considered for registration only when accompanied by a written statement from the applicant setting forth the reason application was not submitted within the generally accepted registration period. These applications and required fees must be approved by the Board of Directors. Rule 21. REGISTRATION FOR THE ESTATE OF A DECEASED PERSON: In the event of the death of one who normally would apply for registration of cattle, the Association requires there shall be filed in its office all documents necessary to prove the person requesting registration is legally authorized to do so. Rule 22. REGISTRATION BY AFFIDAVIT: In case of neglect or refusal by the seller to register a calf sold at side of dam, registration may be approved by the Board of Directors on the basis of the facts furnished to substantiate the claim. Each affidavit must be accompanied by proof of a sale and payment in full of the purchase price and evidence of whether the dam’s breeding was natural or artificial. Rule 23. REGISTRATION ACCURACY: Accurately kept private records are essential, and in any case where an application is regarded as questionable, the burden of the proof with regard to same shall belong to the applicant, who must sustain his claims by a preponderance of evidence. Whenever the accuracy of data contained in an application to register an animal is challenged, the matter may be referred to the Board of Directors for investigation. Rule 24. MISREPRESENTATION OR FRAUD: If an animal’s registration has been obtained through misrepresentation or fraud, or if the date of birth, tattoo number, sire, dam or service information or any other fact regarding the animal has been misrepresented, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems necessary.
SECTION IV: TRANSFER OF REGISTRATIONS
Rule 1. RESPONSIBILITY: It is the responsibility of the seller of registered Herefords to execute properly the official transfer of ownership to the buyer. Every change of ownership of an animal used for breeding purposes must be recorded by official transfer on the American Hereford Record. No entry on the face of the certificate of registry shall be made except in the office of the Association and any unauthorized entry shall render a certificate null and void, subject to issuance of a replacement certificate at an additional fee. Rule 2. IDENTIFICATION: It shall be the duty of the seller, before offering a registered Hereford for sale or applying for transfer, to verify that the animal carries legible tattoo marks matching those entered on its certificate. Rule 3. APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER: Application for transfer shall be made either electronically through AHA’s online service or in hard copy form on the reverse side of the registration certificate and signed by the seller or an authorized agent. The application should be legibly completed and must specify name and location of the buyer and date of delivery. For bred females, service information is also required. 2018 Hereford Handbook / 27
AHA Rules and Regulations continued
Rule 4. COWS WITH CALF AT SIDE: When a cow is transferred with a calf at side, the calf must first be registered to the individual, partnership or corporation in whose name the cow was registered on the date of birth of the calf. A separate transfer of the calf is then required to the new owner. This is often referred to as a “transfer on entry.” (See backside of registration application.) Rule 5. CALF TRANSFERRED AT TIME OF REGISTRATION: As described above, a calf must first be registered in the membership name of the dam’s owner at the time of birth. Then a separate transfer to the new owner is required. Rule 6. TRANSFER BY AFFIDAVIT: In the event of neglect or refusal by the seller to apply for transfer of registration, transfer may be recorded if approved by a majority of the Board of Directors on the basis of the facts furnished to substantiate the claim. Each affidavit must be accompanied by proof of sale and payment in full of the purchase price of the animal. Rule 7. TRANSFERS CONSIGNED TO PUBLIC SALE: Sale managers or their representatives may fill in the buyer’s name on the application for transfer of animals consigned to public sales, and if authorized by the consignor, sign such transfers in his stead. Such applications must indicate the name of the sale manager or agent representing the consignor. Applications executed under this rule are subject to Rule 12 of this section. Rule 8. TRANSFER FROM THE ESTATE OF A DECEASED PERSON: In the event of the death of the owner of Hereford cattle, the Association requires that there should be filed in its office, documents showing the person requesting transfer is legally authorized and entitled to request such transfer. Applications executed under this rule are also subject to Rule 13 of this section. Rule 9. TRANSFER OF EXPORTED ANIMALS: Application for transfer of an animal exported to another country shall be made with a regular Transfer Application. Rule 10. RESPONSIBILITY OF LEGAL TITLE: A transfer of registration on the records of the American Hereford Association is not to be construed as the conveyance of legal title by the Association. The Association shall in no way be involved in or assume liability for the purchase, sale or terms of the sale of registered Herefords or the passage of legal title thereto. Rule 11. JOINTLY OWNED ANIMALS: No animal shall be transferred to more than four owners of record at any one time. A “syndicate” or similar type entity consisting of one or more individuals, firms, etc. may be listed as one or more of the four designated owners of record. Rule 12. MISREPRESENTATION OR FRAUD: If an animal’s registration has been transferred through misrepresentation or fraud, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate as provided in Article IX of the Bylaws, including, without limitation, suspension of the animal’s registration and any registrations of descendants of such animal and refusals of the Association to receive subsequent application of any kind from any person implicated in the misrepresentation or fraud. Rule 13. AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE: A certificate of registry does not establish legal ownership of cattle but simply reflects the name in which cattle are registered on the books of the Association. The Association will usually make any requested change or transfer of cattle registration upon the 28 / 2018 Hereford Handbook
presentation, to the Association, of the Registry Certificate covering the cattle and purporting to be signed with the name in which the Registry Certificate is issued. Due to the large number of transfers, it is impractical for the Association to verify signatures or require proof that the person signing the Registry Certificate and requesting change or transfer is in fact authorized to do so. Accordingly, a Registry Certificate should be kept in a safe place to insure against its falling into the hands of an unauthorized person who could then cause change or transfer of registration on the Association’s books and the issuance of a new Registry Certificate. If the Association receives conflicting instructions regarding any change or transfer of registration, the Association will, unless restrained by appropriate court order, honor the request of the person presenting the appropriate Registry Certificate.
SECTION V: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
Rule 1. DNA PROFILING: All bulls used in an artificial insemination program must be DNA profiled and a record of their DNA profile must be filed with the Association before calves sired artificially by such bulls shall be eligible for registration or before Non-Owner AI Certificates may be purchased. The official policy of the Association is to use DNA only for parentage verification as of December 2002. Rule 2. AI BULL PERMIT: The breeder using a bull for artificial breeding purposes must have received an AI bull permit issued by the Association. The Association must have on file a DNA profile report for the bull and his parents before the AI bull permit will be issued. Rule 3. DEATH OF BULLS: Calves conceived after the death of a bull shall be eligible for registration under the same conditions and provisions governing the eligibility of calves conceived by AI. The Association may request that calves sired by deceased bulls be parentage verified. Ownership of a deceased bull may be transferred if they are AI permitted. Rule 4. LABELING OF SEMEN: Semen must be properly identified by name and registration number of the bull and the date of collection. Unlabeled or mislabeled semen should not be used to produce calves for registration in the American Hereford Record. It shall be the responsibility of the owner of record or each co-owner of record of a bull used artificially to require each person or organization collecting, processing and freezing semen to identify the semen before freezing. Rule 5. WITHIN HERD USE: No Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service are required to register the resulting offspring when both cow and bull are in the same recorded ownership. When the cow and bull are not in the same recorded ownership, Rule 6 below applies. Rule 6. OUT-OF-HERD CALVES BY NON-OWNED SIRES: All sires used in AI service must be DNA profiled. Bulls that are DNA profiled after January 1, 1986, must also have both parents’ DNA profiles on file with AHA to qualify for Non-Owner AI Certificates. A DNA profile may be obtained by sending the appropriate hair samples to AHA’s official DNA lab for processing. DNA profiles from eligible animals, which originate in the official DNA lab of other Hereford associations, will be accepted for processing by AHA. Those sires for which a parent is not available for DNA profiling may only be used for AI service in the herds of the recorded owners, unless such bulls qualify for analysis to provide a derived type for the dead parent. (Contact AHA for further information on this special ruling.) The following requirements shall apply to register calves conceived artificially when the recorded owner of the female is
not the recorded owner or one of the recorded owners of the sire at the time of conception:
“Breeding Share Agreement,” they can be individually invoiced for AI certificates when calves are registered.
Option A:
Rule 10. SEMEN DONATIONS TO COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES: The Association will make donated AI Certificates of Service available for use by colleges or universities when a breeder makes a donation of semen from a qualified bull. The semen certificates will be issued to the college or university at no cost to the breeder. The following rules must be complied with: • The semen must be a donation to the college or university. • The breeder must apply for the donation certificates in the form of a letter to AHA indicating the institution to which the donation is made. • The bull must qualify under the current rules for NonOwner AI Certificates of Service. • The certificates and semen must be used by the institution that received the donation. Applications for registry from any other party will not be accepted. • Upon approval by the Association, donated AI Certificates of Service will be issued directly to the college or university.
• A bull may enter the Non-Owner AI Sire Program, which allows the owner(s) of a bull to sell semen without the need of an AI certificate for registration of the offspring of the bull. Calves born on or after December 1, 2006, are eligible for registry under this program. • For a bull to be entered into this program, an agreement must be signed by all owners of the bull and kept on file at the AHA. If the bull is owned by a syndicate, the owners listed on the certificate will need to sign the agreement along with the designated representative of the syndicate. • For a bull to be entered into this program, he must have an AI permit issued (see Rule 2). • There is a one-time fee of $100 to enter a bull into this program. Once a bull is entered into the program, he will not be allowed to switch back to the certificate program (Option B).
Option B:
• The breeder (recorded owner of the female at time of conception) must obtain a Non-Owner AI Certificate of Service for each calf to be recorded from the individual or firm supplying the semen and such certificates must accompany the application for registration of the resulting offspring. • The recorded owner of the bull from which the semen was sold is obligated to supply the number of Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service contracted for at the time the semen was purchased. • Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service may be obtained from the Association by active members of the Association who are the recorded owner or co-owners of the bull at a fee established by the Board of Directors. It is the responsibility of the owner of the dam at the time of service to complete the Non-Owner AI Certificate of Service.
Rule 7. LIMITATIONS: The Board may cancel the Non-Owner AI Permit for any bull which has been scientifically documented as being a carrier of a deleterious gene which produces an economically important genetic defect in his calves. Rule 8. LIMITATIONS: The Board may restrict or limit the number of Non-Owner AI Certificates for an individual bull if, in the judgement of the Board and based on scientific information, such bull is being used so excessively as to cause irreparable damage to the breed’s genetic base. Rule 9. NON-OWNER SEMEN CERTIFICATE ALLOCATION FOR MULTI-OWNER SIRES: To obtain AI Certificates from a multi-owned sire, one must be a recorded owner or co-owner of the sire. Certificates will be issued on request to any recorded owner. Contractual agreements regarding certificate privileges among multi-owners are the responsibility of those owners. In the instance where a recorded owner of the sire is a multi-owner group, it is the responsibility of the owner group’s designated spokesman to handle the distribution of non-owner AI semen certificates. Individual members of the multi-owner group, not otherwise recorded as one of the four recorded owners of record of the sire, will be required to secure NonOwner AI Certificates of Service from a recorded owner in order to register offspring of the sire from their recorded dams. The American Hereford Association (AHA) will provide a service whereby an AHA member can participate in a “Breeding Share Agreement” for bulls. When members participate in a
Rule 11. LIABILITY: The issuance of Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service by the Association should in no way be construed as guaranteeing conception or that the resulting calf shall be eligible for registration. There shall be no refunding of fees paid to the Association for these certificates.
SECTION VI: IMPORTING OF REGISTERED HEREFORDS
Rule 1. EXPORT CERTIFICATE: Registration of an animal originally recorded in the Herd Book of a member of the World Hereford Council shall be accepted only if a registry certificate is issued by the recognized registry organization of the country of origin. Rule 2. APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION: Registration may be applied for within one year by the breeder importing an animal originally recorded in the Herd Book of another member of the World Hereford Council and whose name appears as purchaser on the export certificate. The registry fee must accompany the request for registration. Rule 3. REGISTRATION OF CALVES IMPORTED IN DAM: If a cow was bred prior to importation and a record of service does not appear on the export certificate, the owner of the sire on the date of service must certify to the particulars of service through the recognized registry organization of the country of origin. When the imported cow was bred by artificial insemination, there must be on file with the recognized registry organization in the county of origin a blood type or DNA profile of the service sire. When the imported dam was bred artificially by a bull owned by a breeder in the U.S. and where no semen interest is owned by the breeder in the exporting country, a Non-Owner AI Certificate of Service must accompany the application for registry of the resulting progeny. Rule 4. REGISTRATION OF CALVES IMPORTED AT SIDE: Registration of a calf imported at side of its dam shall be accepted only if the calf is also registered in the same recognized registry organization and a registry certificate has been received by the American Hereford Association (AHA). Rule 5. SEMEN INTEREST IN A BULL DOMICILED IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY: To use semen or to sell Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service, the bull must be recorded in the American Hereford Record by a member (either a member 2018 Hereford Handbook / 29
AHA Rules and Regulations continued
residing in the U.S. or non-resident dues paying member) of the American Hereford Association. All DNA profile rules apply. Rule 6. REGISTRATION OF CALVES RESULTING FROM EGGS IMPORTED FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY will require a DNA profile match of the subject animal, the sire and the dam on file with the Association.
SECTION VII: DNA PROFILING
Rule 1. DNA PROFILING: Over a period of years a vast amount of technical information has become available and DNA profiling is now a useful tool for Association members. DNA has been proven to be more accurate than blood type in proving parentage. Applying for the DNA profile of an animal requires a request to AHA for a DNA profile kit for each animal to be tested. The request must include the name and registry number of the animal to be tested. The kit will contain all the necessary instructions for securing a hair sample and the shipping instructions to send the sample to the designated AHA laboratory. Hair is the tissue sample of choice for the DNA profile. When pulling hair, it is best to pull at least 80 hairs from a clean area above the switch. The hair must have a visible follicle attached at the base of the root in order to produce enough DNA for validation. Rule 2. AI SIRES: The rules of the Association require all sires of calves conceived artificially to be DNA profiled before their calves are eligible for registration. It is wise to have all herd bulls hair sampled early in life to make sure that the semen can be used after their death. Rule 3. DNA PARENTAGE VERIFICATION OF AI AND ET BORN CALVES: Starting December 1, 2006, the AHA will parentage verify every 250th calf registered with a service type of artificial insemination (AI) or Embryo Transfer (ET). If a calf is selected for verification under this program, the registration of the calf will be held until the parentage verification is complete. If the calf is from a mating of an AI sire and its dam is not available for sampling, the next calf registered will be selected without interruption of registration. The AHA will assume the DNA lab cost of parentage verification of the calf and DNA profile work on the dam (if required). Rule 4. ALL ANIMALS: A. The Association may require that any animal which has been registered by the Association be subjected to a DNA profile test to verify breed purity and accuracy of the recorded parentage. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors or the Executive Vice President may require that a DNA profile be made, by such agencies as it or he may designate, of any Hereford animal which has been alleged to have been incorrectly recorded or for any animal for which tissue analysis is deemed advisable. It shall be the duty of the owner of record of any animal in question and the owner of record of the purported sire and dam to afford the Association or its representatives reasonable opportunity to secure DNA samples from the animals involved in the investigation. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors is empowered to determine who shall pay the costs of any investigation, including laboratory fees assessed under the provisions of this rule. B. Prior to the filing of an entry application for any animal with respect to which a DNA profile is not on file with the Association, the Association may require the owner of said 30 / 2018 Hereford Handbook
animal, at the owner’s cost, to provide a DNA sample for such animal to the Association’s designated laboratory and to provide a DNA profile to the Association from the Association’s designated laboratory. At any Hereford competition, the owner of any animal that wins such competition shall, promptly after the announcement that such animal has won such competition, permit the Association to secure a DNA sample from such animal. C. If, at any time, the Association is in possession of two (2) or more DNA profiles allegedly from the same animal that do not match, including the winner in any Hereford competition, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may require the Executive Vice President to undertake such investigation as the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee deems appropriate, and, upon the conclusion of such investigation, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate as provided in Article XI of the Bylaws, including without limitation the forfeiture of any prizes including any monetary awards or ribbons awarded to such animal at such competition, the suspension of the registration of the animal in question, the suspension of the owner’s membership or the revocation of the owner’s membership. Any such investigation may include requiring any owner to permit the Association to secure another DNA sample from such animal. Rule 5. REFUSAL: If the owner of record shall refuse reasonable opportunity to the Association or its designated agents to secure DNA samples as set forth in Rule 3 of this Section, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate as provided in Article IX of the Bylaws, including without limitation the suspension of the registration of the animal in question. Rule 6. NON-REGISTERED ANIMALS: The Association may collect and maintain DNA profiles on animals other than 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 nonregistered animals. The Association may deny registration to, or revoke the registration of, any animal based on this comparison.
SECTION VIII: RULES REGARDING CLONES
Rule 1. ONLY REPLICATION CELL-CLONED animals shall be eligible for registration. Rule 2. THE CELL DONOR animal must be DNA-marker typed. Rule 3. THE BREEDER of the cell-donor animal must be identified as the breeder of the cell-cloned offspring. Rule 4. THE OWNER OF RECORD of the cell-donor, on the date of biopsy removal, will be identified as the first owner, unless the calf is the result of a pregnant recipient, purchased embryo — fresh or frozen — in which case the purchaser may be identified as the first owner. Rule 5. DNA MARKER typing of the cell-cloned animal, or recipient dams, may be required by the Association. Rule 6. CALVES CONCEIVED AFTER DEATH of celldonor animals shall be eligible for registration under the same conditions and provisions governing the eligibility of calves prior to the death of said animal.
Rule 7. REGISTRATION OF CELL-CLONED transplants shall be made on a special form, provided by the Association, at the regular fee, plus an additional fee as determined by the Board of Directors. Rule 8. REGISTRATION CERTIFICATES issued for cellcloned transplants shall be so designated. The registration number of the animal, which is being cell-cloned shall also be stated on the registration certificate. Rule 9. NOTHING SET FORTH herein should be construed as an indication that the Association takes any position as to the ownership rights, if any, of retained cell material. That is a separate matter reserved for discussion and/or negotiation between the buyer and seller. Rule 10. INITIAL BREEDING VALUES – EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPDs) generated from National Cattle Evaluation for a cloned animal shall be the same values as the cell-donor animal. All data of future progeny from a cloned animal will be pooled with the cell-donor progeny data for genetic evaluation.
SECTION IX: GENETIC DEFECT POLICY
Procedures for collecting abnormality data and reporting the information to the AHA membership: Physical and functional abnormalities are present in all breeds of cattle. In order to monitor abnormalities in Hereford cattle, the American Hereford Association requests the collection of abnormality information from AHA members on a voluntary basis. Specialist, Dr. David Steffen, veterinarian for the University of Nebraska Veterinary and Biomedical Science Department, has worked closely with many breeds in the area of genetic abnormalities. The AHA will be working with him to diagnose abnormalities as being genetic or non-genetic in origin. Not all abnormalities are genetic in origin. Some defects can be attributed to sickness or nutrition. Dr. Steffen works to determine the root cause of the defect. All AHA members are invited to read the procedures for reporting genetic abnormalities. A. Reporting Physical Abnormalities to AHA Any AHA member who becomes aware of a possible physical or functional abnormality in an AHA-registered animal shall immediately notify the AHA Director of Breed Improvement at 816-842-3757. Upon receiving notification of a possible physical functional abnormality, the AHA Records Department will take the following steps to confirm the abnormality and determine if it is genetic in origin: • Provide the member with an abnormality report form, which the member shall promptly complete and return to the AHA: • Provide the member with instructions for collecting and submitting for analysis as deemed appropriate blood and tissue samples from the animal in question. The reporting member shall promptly comply with all AHA instructions regarding the gathering and submission of tissue and blood samples. B. AHA Genetic Consultant The AHA will refer confirmed physical abnormalities to a genetic consultant for analysis. The genetic consultant shall be chosen by the AHA Board. Currently the genetic consultant is David Steffen, DVM PhD, from the University of Nebraska. The AHA genetic consultant is responsible for
determining if sufficient evidence exists to establish a definite cause of a particular physical abnormality. All AHA members shall cooperate fully in any investigation necessary to such determination. The genetic consultant will advise the Board of diagnostic criteria for established genetic diseases and will evaluate evidence to determine if diagnostic criteria are met. Dr. Steffen will perform these evaluations as a pathologist for the Nebraska University Diagnostic Center. C. Notification to Owners of Affected Animals and Owners of Parents of Affected Animals Once a physical abnormality has been confirmed and parentage has been verified, all owners of record of the abnormal animal and owners of record of the parents of the abnormal animal will receive the following information from the AHA: • A description of the physical abnormality in question. • The recorded sire and dam of the abnormal animal. • Whether as a preliminary matter the abnormality appears to be genetic in origin. • If the abnormality appears to be genetic, what steps are planned to determine whether the parents of the abnormal animal are carriers of the physical abnormality. D. Notification to AHA Membership Upon confirmation that an AHA-registered animal has produced a sufficient number of abnormal progeny (at least two confirmed, parent-identified cases or a single positive DNA test — see Section E), the AHA will immediately notify by certified mail the owners of record of the confirmed carrier of the AHA’s intent to designate their animal as a confirmed carrier of a genetic defect. Such designation will become final 30 days after mailing of the certified letters. Any AHA member who may be aggrieved by the AHA’s proposed designation of a particular animal as a confirmed carrier of a genetic defect may file a complaint with the AHA Executive Committee at any time prior to the time the designation becomes final. The filing of such a complaint will stay the confirmed carrier designation until the completion of the Executive Committee proceedings and, if necessary, any further proceedings before an arbitrator or the AHA Board. A finding of no probable cause by the Executive Committee shall operate to make the confirmed carrier designation final. An animal that has been designated as a confirmed carrier of a genetic abnormality shall be placed on a confirmed carrier list, which will be printed as scheduled in the Hereford World and which will be available upon request. Animals born before Jan. 1, 1975, will not be included in the list. If an animal is determined to be a confirmed carrier of a specific genetic abnormality, the AHA shall add a special code to the animal’s registration to indicate this fact. The AHA will not give notice of confirmed or suspected genetic abnormalities to any AHA member or to any owners of related AHA-registered animals except as specifically set out in these rules. Any other notification is the sole responsibility of the owner(s) of the confirmed or suspected carrier parent. E. DNA Genetic Abnormality Testing In the case the AHA identifies a gene marker test for a genetic abnormality, animals may be tested to determine carrier status by an AHA approved laboratory. If breeders wish to officially confirm an animal free of a genetic abnormality and designate it as such on the animal’s pedigree, then the following guidelines must be met: • The breeder must request the DNA test kit from the AHA Records Department. • The results of the test must be returned directly to AHA from the official lab. 2018 Hereford Handbook / 31
AHA Rules and Regulations continued
F. Classification of Genetic Abnormalities The AHA currently recognizes the following physical abnormalities that have been confirmed by its genetic consultant to be genetic in origin under certain circumstances: • CLASS I (LETHAL) Snorter Dwarfism Maple Syrup Urine Disease (Neuraxial Edema) Internal Hydrocephalus Idiopathic Epilepsy (IE) • CLASS II (NON-LETHAL) Hypotrichosis Dermoid Alopecia/Dyserythropoiesis Color Dilutor G. Description of Defects • CLASS I (LETHAL) Snorter Dwarfism – Symptoms: Undersized, short-legged, short-bodied animal, usually potbellied with noisy breathing. Several different types include a broad-headed, bulging forehead and a longand mature-headed kind. X-ray of 10-day-old dwarfs may show abnormal lumbar vertebrae. Most cases are simple autosomal recessive; some forms are incomplete dominance. – Confirmation: Pathologic exam Maple Syrup Urine Disease (Neuraxial Edema) – Symptoms: Calves will be of normal size at birth. May not be able to get up or lift head. A sudden touch or loud noise may cause a vigorous extension of the legs and neck. Contraction (muscle spasms) may last one or two minutes and can be made to reappear. Simple autosomal recessive. – Confirmation: Histopath of nervous tissue or biochemical test Internal Hydrocephalus (water head) – Symptoms: Excess fluid is present in the brain which may result in a bulging forehead. Calves are usually born dead or die shortly after birth. Some cases may be environmental. Needs careful diagnosis. Simple autosomal recessive. – Confirmation: Gross pathologic exam Idiopathic Epilepsy (IE) – Symptoms: Age of onset (occurrence of the first seizure) can be variable, ranging from birth to several months of age. Occurrence and persistence of seizures may be influenced by environmental stressors such as temperature extremes (e.g., extreme cold during calving) or increased physical activity (e.g., processing at vaccination or weaning). Upon initial onset of seizure episodes individuals will typically lie on their side with all limbs extended in a rigid state. Manual flexing of the limbs is possible, but return to the extended position occurs after release. Seizure episodes may last from several minutes to more than an hour. Autosomal recessive. – No anatomic abnormalities or histologic lesions detected. – Confirmation: AHA approved expert • CLASS II (NON-LETHAL) Hypotrichosis (hairlessness) – Symptoms: Partial to almost complete lack of hair. Affected calves are often born with very short, fine, kinky hair that may fall out leaving bare spots or areas particularly susceptible to rubbing. The condition may vary in expression as the animal matures and is usually less noticeable in older animals. The haircoat color will sometimes appear “frosted” or “silverish.” Tail switch may be underdeveloped. Simple autosomal recessive. – Confirmation: Megatrichohyaline granule skin biopsy 32 / 2018 Hereford Handbook
Dermoid (feather eyes) – Symptoms: Skin-like masses of tissue occur on the eye or eyelid. Animals may become partially or completely blind. Polygenic inheritance. – Confirmation: Clinical diagnosis with photos or biopsy Alopecia/Anemia, Dyserythropoiesis – Symptoms: Short, curly hair, hair loss on neck and shoulder. Progressive generalized hair loss. White areas appear dirty and calves are anemic. – Confirmation: Blood test for anemia plus skin biopsy Color Dilutor – Symptoms: Carrier Hereford bulls or females when mated to black cattle can produce offspring with a haircoat that is gray, smokey or chocolate color. – Confirmation: Clinical diagnosis with photos H. Lethal vs. Non-Lethal A lethal genetic abnormality is a genetic abnormality which usually results in death of the animal or production of the animal is significantly impaired causing major economic loss. Non-lethal abnormalities do not cause death, nor do they significantly affect production or commercial profitability. Nonlethals may, however, cause economic loss to seedstock producers. I. Breeding to Avoid Abnormalities Breeders that may have a problem with a simple recessive abnormality can make use of available DNA-based diagnostic tests or implement mating systems designed to reduce the frequency of the abnormal gene in their herds and the breed. Where a DNA-based test is available, breeders can directly test animals for the presence of a specific mutation causing the disease. Animals confirmed to be carriers should be used cautiously, and serious consideration should be given to their removal from the seedstock breeding herd. However, breeders should guard against carelessly throwing away good genetics because a sire or dam is a carrier unless that animal’s good characteristics remain available in the breed from another source. In the absence of a DNA-based test, mating systems should rely on the use of bulls known not to have produced affected calves. Sons of carrier animals can be used if they have been tested free of the abnormality through a series of special test matings. Mating a bull to seven affected females, 17 carrier cows or 35 of his own daughters with no abnormal offspring provides three ways to test for the presence of a recessive gene. With specific regard to non-lethal abnormalities, each breeder must assess the potential economic impact the abnormality may have on his operation. J. Predicted Outcome of Certain Matings Using Hypotrichosis as an Example Hypotrichosis (non-lethal) results from homozygosity of a simple autosomal recessive gene. This means that both parents must possess the hypotrichosis gene in order to produce an affected calf. Approximately 25% of the calves resulting from the mating of two carrier animals will be affected, while 50% will be normal appearing but carriers of hypotrichosis, and the remaining 25% will be normal and non-carriers. Possible matings and the predicted outcomes are shown in the table below: Affected Unaffected Unaffected Normal Matings1 Hypotrichosis Carrier hh × hh hh × Hh hh × HH Hh × Hh Hh × HH HH × HH
