So God Made a Farmer
4
/ March 2013
The National Football League’s (NFL) annual Super Bowl Championship celebration has become the most celebrated event in America. This year, more than 35%(111 million) of Americans viewed the Baltimore Ravens versus San Francisco 49ers match up. Culturally, the game attracts more than football fans. Many viewers are diehard football fans; some are simply intrigued with the celebration and the historic aspect of the game, while the vast majority are tuning in for the commercials that have become the main topics of discussion for Monday morning break room talk. At a cost of $3.8 million for 30 seconds, advertising agencies attempt to outwit one another with the most creative, memorable, heartwarming or shocking messages promoting their clients’ products. This year, Dodge truck hit it out of the park for agriculture. Never before has the American public responded so positively to an ad celebrating the American farmer and rancher. Paul Harvey’s poem, “So God Made a Farmer,” recited to a pictorial of people and life experiences of our farming and ranching community was a moving visual of the hardworking, devout, sensitive, loyal to family and community values that are intertwined in our farming and ranching culture’s everyday life. While millions tuned in to the $15-million, 2-minute
spot, a sense of pride welled up in most Americans who watched. American agriculture is the absolute backbone of this great nation, and as evident by the reaction to the Dodge commercial, most Americans concur with that statement. The emotional heartstring pulled for me had me thinking about whom I work for — the people I have come to know and respect in our business, the more than 5,000 members that make up the American Hereford Association (AHA). The Dodge commercial reminded me of our most recent National Western Stock Show and the record attendance of an estimated 1,500 seedstock producers who filled the floor and the stadium seating at the Mile High Night Hereford Sale, making the sale a landmark event in Hereford history. It reminded me of the families who brought their best stock to the Yards in Denver, enduring the subzero weather early in the week to lead them into the ring in front of a packed house during the pen and carload show. It reminded me of a young boy who stepped into the pen show arena with his father for his very first time, and I couldn’t help but think of the future that he represents. Last but not least, it reminded me of a very humble man who recently passed away at the age of 95 who made his mark as a beloved storyteller, artist,
Hereford historian and longtime friend of countless Hereford breeders both present and past. Bud Snidow passed away on a Saturday morning, Jan. 26. He outlived his closest friends yet still remained connected to the people and breed he loved the most by coming to the AHA headquarters nearly every week up until last fall. He attended his final American Royal show last November. Bud made the coffee breaks interesting, and up until the last year, Bud’s mind was sharper than those of most 40 year olds. He was of the type Paul Harvey described in his poem — loyal to his Hereford family and community, loyal to his beloved American Royal Stock Show and a servant up until his death. (See Page 90 for Bud’s obituary.) His paintings of prized stock not only immortalize him but will be cherished by generations of family members to come. I don’t know how many of those portraits of great bulls are hanging in the homes of ranchers from here in the U.S. and Canada to the southern hemisphere of Uruguay and Australia, but Bud put his heart and soul into getting those portraits just right. Bud’s personality in our business was a gift: a gift that God knew would be appreciated amongst His farmers and ranchers. HW

INDICatIONs aND INstRuCtIONs FOR use Cattle: LUTALYSE Sterile Solution is indicated as a luteolytic agent. LUTALYSE is effective only in those cattle having a corpus luteum, i.e., those which ovulated at least five days prior to treatment. Future reproductive performance of animals that are not cycling will be unaffected by injection of LUTALYSE. 1. For Intramuscular use for estrous synchronization in Beef Cattle and Non-Lactating Dairy Heifers. LUTALYSE is used to control the timing of estrus and ovulation in estrous cycling cattle that have a corpus luteum. Inject a dose of 5 mL LUTALYSE (25 mg PGF2 ) intramuscularly either once or twice at a 10 to 12 day interval. With the single injection, cattle should be bred at the usual time relative to estrus. With the two injections, cattle can be bred after the second injection either at the usual time relative to detected estrus or at about 80 hours after the second injection of LUTALYSE. Estrus is expected to occur 1 to 5 days after injection if a corpus luteum was present. Cattle that do not become pregnant to breeding at estrus on days 1 to 5 after injection will be expected to return to estrus in about 18 to 24 days. 2. For Intramuscular use for unobserved (silent) estrus in Lactating Dairy Cows with a Corpus Luteum. Inject a dose of 5 mL LUTALYSE (25 mg PGF2 ) intramuscularly. Breed cows as they are detected in estrus. If estrus has not been observed by 80 hours after injection, breed at 80 hours. If the cow returns to estrus breed at the usual time relative to estrus. Management Considerations: Many factors contribute to success and failure of reproduction management, and these factors are important also when time of breeding is to be regulated with LUTALYSE Sterile Solution. Some of these factors are: a. Cattle must be ready to breed — they must have a corpus luteum and be healthy; b. Nutritional status must be adequate as this has a direct effect on conception and the initiation of estrus in heifers or return of estrous cycles in cows following calving; c. Physical facilities must be adequate to allow cattle handling without being detrimental to the animal; d. Estrus must be detected accurately if timed Al is not employed; e. Semen of high fertility must be used; f. Semen must be inseminated properly. A successful breeding program can employ LUTALYSE effectively, but a poorly managed breeding program will continue to be poor when LUTALYSE is employed unless other management deficiencies are remedied first. Cattle expressing estrus following LUTALYSE are receptive to breeding by a bull. Using bulls to breed large numbers of cattle in heat following LUTALYSE will require proper management of bulls and cattle. 3. For Intramuscular use for treatment of Pyometra (chronic endometritis) in Cattle. Inject a dose of 5 mL LUTALYSE (25 mg PGF2 ) intramuscularly. In studies conducted with LUTALYSE, pyometra was defined as presence of a corpus luteum in the ovary and uterine horns containing fluid but not a conceptus based on palpation per rectum. Return to normal was defined as evacuation of fluid and return of the uterine horn size to 40 mm or less based on palpation per rectum at 14 and 28 days. Most cattle that recovered in response to LUTALYSE recovered within 14 days after injection. After 14 days, recovery rate of treated cattle was no different than that of nontreated cattle. 4. For Intramuscular use for abortion of Feedlot and Other Non-Lactating Cattle. LUTALYSE is indicated for its abortifacient effect in feedlot and other non-lactating cattle during the first 100 days of gestation. Inject a dose of 25 mg intramuscularly. Cattle that abort will abort within 35 days of injection. Commercial cattle were palpated per rectum for pregnancy in six feedlots. The percent of pregnant cattle in each feedlot less than 100 days of gestation ranged between 26 and 84; 80% or more of the pregnant cattle were less than 150 days of gestation. The abortion rates following injection of LUTALYSE increased with increasing doses up to about 25 mg. As examples, the abortion rates, over 7 feedlots on the dose titration study, were 22%, 50%, 71%, 90% and 78% for cattle up to 100 days of gestation when injected IM with LUTALYSE doses of 0,1 (5 mg), 2 (10 mg), 4 (20 mg) and 8 (40 mg) mL, respectively. The statistical predicted relative abortion rate based on the dose titration data, was about 93% for the 5 mL (25 mg) LUTALYSE dose for cattle injected up to 100 days of gestation. swine: For intramuscular use for parturition induction in swine. LUTALYSE Sterile Solution is indicated for parturition induction in swine when injected within 3 days of normal predicted farrowing. The response to treatment varies by individual animals with a mean interval from administration of 2 mL LUTALYSE (10 mg dinoprost) to parturition of approximately 30 hours. This can be employed to control the time of farrowing in sows and gilts in late gestation. Management Considerations: Several factors must be considered for the successful use of LUTALYSE Sterile Solution for parturition induction in swine. The product must be administered at a relatively specific time (treatment earlier than 3 days prior to normal predicted farrowing may result in increased piglet mortality). It is important that adequate records be maintained on (1) the average length of gestation period for the animals on a specific location, and (2) the breeding and projected farrowing dates for each animal. This information is essential to determine the appropriate time for administration of LUTALYSE. Mares: LUTALYSE Sterile Solution is indicated for its luteolytic effect in mares. This lutelytic effect can be utilized to control the timing of estrus in estrous cycling and clinically anestrous mares that have a corpus luteum in the following circumstances: 1. Controlling time of estrus of estrous Cycling Mares: Mares treated with LUTALYSE during diestrus (4 or more days after ovulation) will return to estrus within 2 to 4 days in most cases and ovulate 8 to 12 days after treatment. This procedure may be utilized as an aid to scheduling the use of stallions. 2. Difficult-to-Breed Mares: In extended diestrus there is failure to exhibit regular estrous cycles, which is different from true anestrus. Many mares described as anestrus during the breeding season have serum progesterone levels consistent with the presence of a functional corpus luteum. A proportion of “barren”, maiden, and lactating mares do not exhibit regular estrous cycles and may be in extended diestrus. Following abortion, early fetal death and re-sorption, or as a result of “pseudopregnancy,” there may be serum progesterone levels consistent with a functional corpus luteum. Treatment of such mares with LUTALYSE usually results in regression of the corpus luteum followed by estrus and/or ovulation. In one study with 122 Standardbred and Thoroughbred mares in clinical anestrus for an average of 58 days and treated during the breeding season, behavioral estrus was detected in 81 percent at an average time of 3.7 days after injection with 5 mg LUTALYSE; ovulation occurred an average of 7.0 days after treatment. Of those mares bred, 59% were pregnant following an average of 1.4 services during that estrus. Treatment of “anestrous” mares, which abort subsequent to 36 days of pregnancy, may not result in return to estrus due to presence of functional endometrial cups. useR saFety (HuMaN WaRNINGs) Not for human use. Women of childbearing age, asthmatics, and persons with bronchial and other respiratory problems should exercise extreme caution when handling this product. In the early stages, women may be unaware of their pregnancies. Dinoprost tromethamine is readily absorbed through the skin and can cause abortion. Accidental spillage on the skin should be washed off immediately with soap and water. ResIDue INFORMatION No milk discard or preslaughter drug withdrawal period is required for labeled uses in cattle. No preslaughter drug withdrawal period is required for labeled uses in swine. Use of this product in excess of the approved dose may result in drug residues. Not for horses intended for human consumption. aNIMaL saFety (WaRNINGs) Severe localized clostridial infections associated with injection of LUTALYSE have been reported. In rare instances, such infections have resulted in death. Aggressive antibiotic therapy should be employed at the first sign of infection at the injection site whether localized or diffuse. PReCautIONs • Do not administer intravenously (I.V.) as this route may potentiate adverse reactions. • No vial stopper should be entered more than 20 times. For this reason, the 100 mL bottle should only be used for cattle. The 30 mL bottle may be used for cattle, swine, or mares. • As with all parenteral products, careful aseptic techniques should be used to decrease the possibility of post-injection bacterial infections. The vial stopper should be cleaned and disinfected prior to needle entry. Only sterile needles should be used and the same needle should not be used more than once. • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may inhibit prostaglandin synthesis; therefore this class of drugs should not be administered concurrently. Cattle: Do not administer to pregnant cattle, unless abortion is desired. Cattle administered a progestogen would be expected to have a reduced response to LUTALYSE Sterile Solution. swine: Do not administer to sows and/or gilts prior to 3 days of normal predicted farrowing as an increased number of stillbirths and postnatal mortality may result. Mares: LUTALYSE Sterile Solution is ineffective when administered prior to day-5 after ovulation. Pregnancy status should be determined prior to treatment since LUTALYSE has been reported to induce abortion and parturition when sufficient doses were administered. Mares should not be treated if they suffer from either acute or subacute disorders of the vascular system, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, or reproductive tract. aDVeRse ReaCtIONs Cattle: Limited salivation has been reported in some instances. swine: The most frequently observed side effects were erythema and pruritus, slight incoordination, nesting behavior, itching, urination, defecation, abdominal muscle spasms, tail movements, hyperpnea or dyspnea, increased vocalization, salivation, and at the 100 mg (10X) dose only, possible vomiting. These side effects are transitory, lasting from 10 minutes to 3 hours, and were not detrimental to the health of the animal. Mares: The most frequently observed side effects are sweating and decreased rectal temperature. However, these have been transient in all cases observed and have not been detrimental to the animal. Other reactions seen have been increase in heart rate, increase in respiration rate, some abdominal discomfort, locomotor incoordination, and lying down. These effects are usually seen within 15 minutes of injection and disappear within one hour. Mares usually continue to eat during the period of expression of side effects. One anaphylactic reaction of several hundred mares treated with LUTALYSE Sterile Solution was reported but was not confirmed. NADA #108-901, Approved by FDA U.S. Patent No. 6,187,818 Distributed by:

Hereford Excitement Continues to Build As the new year has rolled around, the excitement in the Hereford breed continues to gain momentum. We continue to see record highs at commercial bull and female sales, and the enthusiasm that was seen at the National Western was just remarkable. The power of heterosis continues to be recognized in the commercial industry, and cattlemen are seeing the benefits to adding Hereford genetics. The baldie cattle are just what the industry needs by adding so much from the maternal side and adding fertility while maintaining carcass quality. Furthermore, the cattlemen appreciate the disposition advantage from the Hereford influence. With the development of GE-EPDs (genomicenhanced expected progeny differences), Hereford breeders have been able to provide their customers with
another tool to help manage risk and make selections based on Whole Herd Total Performance Recording (TPR) and GE-EPDs. These tools will allow breeders and their customers to see higher accuracies even on non-parent bulls. Since testing began in August 2012, nearly 3,000 Hereford animals have been 50K genotyped, including both young and proven sires. This spring, the prediction equations will be re-trained and the correlations updated in order to make the tool even stronger. In addition, the American Hereford Association (AHA) will be sequencing approximately 20 high-accuracy legacy sires in order to expand our work in the area of genomics. The AHA continues to grow the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) program while working with large commercial herds in

various research projects to prove the value of Hereford genetics in large real-world settings. We are currently in our second year of work with Simplot Livestock Co., Grand View, Idaho, where calving-ease Hereford sires were used to artificially inseminate virgin heifers. The first set of calves have been weaned and moved to a GrowSafe feed yard to collect performance data. These steers will be followed through harvest. The longterm goal of the project is to look at the maternal value of the Hereford-sired female. Data to this point have looked good, the second group of calves is on the ground and we continue to grow this research project. In addition, the AHA has collected feed intake information at Olsen Ranch for three years and is starting the second year with the Stahly Ranch calves. All of these cattle have had DNA collected and are part of the research for DNA markers associated with feed intake in Hereford cattle. This project looks very promising, and research reports will be seen this spring. Finally, I would like to make you aware of a rule change that will be adopted this spring. See the sidebar to the left with the amended rule concerning how genetic abnormality carriers are listed on pedigrees. Please read through this amendment and feel free to contact me with any questions. HW

The Certified Hereford Beef Sire of Distinction (CHBS) program recognizes Hereford bulls that have excelled in carcass traits. The Board initiated this program in August 2007. To qualify as a CHBS, a bull must 1. Be in the top 25% for the CHB$ profit index. 2. Have a minimum accuracy level of 30% for both ribeye area (REA) and marbling (MARB) expected progeny difference (EPD). “We use this distinction to recognize sires in the Hereford breed that excelled in improving carcass traits,” says Jack Ward, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. Although all bulls have the opportunity, only a few bulls will be recognized. Ward advises producers to remember that using balanced-trait selection is very important. “Do not overemphasize carcass traits while sacrificing other important traits for your herd.” Bulls with the CHBS status are recognized on the AHA website with CHBS after the animal’s name. For more information, contact Ward at jward@hereford.org or 816-842-3757. A total of 1,152 sires earned the CHBS recognition in 2013. To download a complete report, visit Hereford.org/CHBsires.

Coborn’s Inc. reaches 50 million lb. of CHB sales Coborn’s Inc. recently earned the 50-million-lb. Certified Hereford Beef ® (CHB) Bronze Bull Award. This award was presented by Brad Ellefson, CHB LLC vice president of retail, to Coborn’s for devotion to the CHB brand for the past 14 years. “Coborn’s has believed in the Certified Hereford Beef program and has taken it to the next level by staying with the program, believing and achieving sales of more than 50 million lb.,” he says. “The quality and consistency of CHB has proven to make a long-term relationship with Coborn’s, their affiliate Cash Wise and their customers.” Mike Richter, Coborn’s meat and seafood director, says the CHB product has been a great fit for its customers. “The Hereford cattle have given us a great value,” Richter says. “It surprised us with the quality eating experience of great tasting beef. Over time, in essence, CHB has delivered a promise to our customers. Our promise is simple; we guarantee your satisfaction or your money back. To this day, I can’t remember ever getting complaints about our beef quality. Our product does what it says it’s going to do, provide consistent quality time after time and at a great value.” CHB is offered through 30 Coborn’s Inc. stores in South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota, and nine Cash Wise stores in Minnesota and North Dakota.

judged based on the increase of sales of primal cuts compared to 2011. Mike Louderback, National Beef business manager, says the contests have been developed to create excitement for the CHB product. “CHB is a great brand, and Herefords are a great breed of cattle,” he says. “For National Beef, it’s a great branded program, and we treat it as our own. We want to help CHB and the American Hereford Association (AHA) because of the quality of product and the uniqueness of the brand.” And, he says, the goal is being met, as CHB sales during the contest period increased by 27%. “I just spoke with a meat manager of a winning store, and he said, ‘Wow, that contest created a lot of excitement in our meat department,’” Louderback says. “The contests keep them enthusiastic about the program. Many times, they don’t get enough pats on the back for the jobs they do. But without them, we wouldn’t be successful at what we do.” National Beef is currently wrapping up “Comfort Food Made Easy,” another CHB contest focused on end cuts — pot roasts, chuck roasts and rib roasts. Meat managers are being judged equally on sales and display.
CHB featured at the Sysco Minnesota food show CHB wowed attendees of the Sysco Minnesota food show, held in January at the Rochester International Event Center in Rochester, Minn. During this event, staff of WW Johnson Meat Co., a manufacturer of CHB fresh patties; Dick Kass of J&B Wholesale Quality Food Products — a CHB portion-cut steak provider; and CHB Vice President of Sales Mick Welch were on hand to answer questions and promote the product. Sysco Minnesota staff also answered questions and touted the benefits of the CHB product. Sysco has sales and service relationships with approximately 400,000 customers in the foodservice industry and operates from more than 180 locations continued on page 18...
CHB in competition CHB has been in the spotlight with National Beef Packing Co. LLC. Since last summer, National Beef has conducted promotions for meat managers and grocery store customers. And since October, those promotions have focused solely on CHB. “Fire Up the Comfort Food” ran October through December, and “The Holidays go Beyond the Bird” ran during the holiday season of November and December. During each contest, meat market managers were

Juniors, Mark Your Calendars After an incredible National Western Stock Show to kick off 2013 Hereford activities, we have turned the calendar to putting the finishing touches on plans for “Show Me the Herefords” and the 2013 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). We are very excited to welcome everyone back to Kansas City July 14-21 as we showcase our talented youth in the heartland. We are working to ensure a successful show for all in attendance, and your financial support is vital to make the 2013 JNHE a summer highlight for families who will be traveling to Kansas City. There are several ways you may support the show and make an impact on our youth, who are the future of the Hereford breed and future employees of agribusiness companies around the nation. The National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board members will be busy the next few months

his bull may represent one of the biggest opportunities in the Hereford breed today! Y509 was in Grandview CMR’s Denver 2012 Grand Champion Pen of Three Bulls. He is a son of CMR GVP Mr Maternal 156T. Mr Maternal has passed on his great muscle mass and pigmentation to Y509. He has 100% eye pigment and freckles! As no semen can be sold on Mr Maternal, this is one of the few opportunities to influence your herd with this great genetic package. Y509’s dam, Remitall Ginger 23G, is one of the best Wrangler 832W daughters ever. She is the dam of greats like Patriot, Kootenay, Ginger Gal and many more throughout Canada and the U.S. Y509 has the depth, huge rib, great muscle shape and overall capacity it takes to be a lead sire of today’s Hereford breed. Y509 has a moderate 83 pound birthweight. He is currently working in the herd of WMC Cattle Company and is an outstanding pasture breeder. We couldn’t ask any more of this great young sire.

NHW Appoints New Director, Debuts New Artwork A new year kicks off exciting news for National Hereford Women (NHW). Our southwest area board position has been filled and our third piece of commissioned Hereford artwork was unveiled during the Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show in Ft. Worth, Texas.
Director appointed Describing herself as a “true Hereford woman,” Becky Spindle, a fourth-generation rancher from Stanley, N.M., has been appointed to fill a position for the southwest area on the NHW board. Becky is deeply rooted in all things Hereford thanks to her father Bill King having started their registered Hereford business 43 years ago. Becky and her sisters were active members of the New Mexico Junior Hereford Association, where Becky served as queen, president and vice president. She also served as secretary and second vice president during her term on the American Junior Hereford Association board from 1993-96. “I love the friendships I’ve made over the years through my Hereford

experiences, and I look forward to helping the NHW organization grow and promote our Hereford youth,” Becky says. “We go to most Hereford events with our kids so there are lots of opportunities to meet more people who want to become involved in NHW and further our mission.” Becky’s family bleeds Hereford just as deeply as she does. Her husband, Tom, is foreman for King Herefords, running about 350 cows including Hereford, Charolais, Angus and commercial females. Becky is the operation’s bookkeeper. Their children — Jordan, Abby, Cash and Charli Grace — enjoy showing cattle at county and state fairs and national shows. Jordan is the president of the state junior Hereford association and Abby is the queen. Becky brings a wealth of experience to her NHW role. Among several positions, she serves on her county Farm Service Agency board and as a board member of the New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum, New Mexico Cattlegrowers’ Association, New Mexico Hereford Association and the local 4-H club. NHW’s southwest quadrant includes the states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma.
Artwork debuted Hereford art aficionados will be pleased to know NHW’s third in a series of colored pencil artwork by recognized show cattle artist Amanda Raithel debuted at the Fort Worth Stock Show. “The 11" × 14" artwork, ‘Majestic,’ is a one-of-a-kind piece that depicts a winter scene with both horned and polled Hereford bulls,” says Denise Billman, NHW president and ways and means chairman. “We would like to thank Becky Harrell of Harrell Herefords
for the inspiration for this art piece. It is a very long and drawn out process determining the subject matter. With Becky’s talents it was much easier. “We are thrilled the framed original piece was auctioned off in the Cowtown Select Sale in Fort Worth. We greatly appreciate all of the support we were shown there. It is always refreshing to have the opportunity to meet and visit with fellow Hereford enthusiasts that share our mission.” The print may be viewed on NHW’s Facebook page as well as the NHW website. “The interest in this newest artwork had already become apparent as I was receiving calls with inquires, and had received advanced orders for it even prior to its unveiling,” Denise says. The Raithel series includes the first two prints, “Setting Precedence” and “Secrets,” both of which are still available through NHW. Signed and numbered prints will be available on all three art pieces at numerous Hereford outings throughout the country including the 2013 Junior National Hereford Expo in July and the NHW annual meeting in November, both in Kansas City. The prints can also be ordered anytime by contacting Denise at 330-204-5865. Keep in mind these prints are limited editions. There will not be any re-prints on them, so their value will only increase. The prints make unique gifts and awards and state associations receive special pricing on orders of three or more. Proceeds from the sale of the original as well as the prints ensure the continuation of all the programs and scholarships that are administered by NHW. “Your continued support is pertinent to the continuing education and enrichment of Hereford youth,” Denise says.

For six years, Hereford and Hereford-influenced cattle have brought greater prices through the Hereford-influenced sale in Carthage, Ill.
Brent Lowderman and his wife, Kris, have increased demand for Hereford cattle through the development of a yearly Hereford-influenced sale in Illinois.
Ensuring the Respect They Deserve 2013 Hereford Innovator winners Brent and Kris Lowderman have worked to ensure Herefords bring competitive prices at the sale barn. by Christy Couch Lee
H
e was a Hereford breeder discouraged by the discounts Hereford-influenced calves received. Fortunately, he also owns a sale barn. And he set out to even the playing field for the whitefaced breed. For this reason, Brent Lowderman and his wife, Kris, were honored with a Hereford Industry Innovator Award by the American Hereford Association
32
/ March 2013
(AHA). The award was presented on Jan. 18 at the National Western Stock Show in Denver. Brent and Kris helped start the Greater Midwest Hereford Influenced Feeder Calf Sale in 2007, which helped create demand for Hereford and Hereford-cross feeder calves. The sale helps smaller producers pool their cattle and draws buyers looking specifically for Hereford feeder calves.
Hereford.org
Brent and Kris own and operate the Carthage Livestock Auction Co. in Carthage, Ill. Brent manages the auction barn, and Kris utilizes her skills as an accountant to keep the books for the auctions. Their strong family history in both the Hereford industry and auction business have helped in the building of their sale barn success.
Brent (left) and Kris (right) Lowderman work to bring competitive prices for Herefordinfluenced calves at their special yearly sale.
In the blood Brent was raised on his family’s Hereford operation, Lowderman Cattle Co. He is still a part of that operation today along with his parents, Jack and Sherry, who started the Hereford business; his brothers, Monte and Cody; and their families. The cattle operation has both increased and decreased through the years and today consists of 150 cows — 50-75 of which serve as embryo transfer donors. As the Lowdermans increased their cattle operation, they also became devoted to growing their auction business. Each year, the Lowdermans conduct 75-100 sales with an emphasis on farmland and residential real estate through Lowderman Auction Co. In addition, they sell monthly real estate auctions for Williams & Williams across the country. “Our brother, Cory, passed away in 2000,” Brent says. “At that time, Monte and I made the decision that he would take the family auction company, and I would take charge of the cattle. I’d like to think we took both to a new level. And when our youngest brother, Cody, returned to the family operation, he has taken the cattle operation to yet another level.” In 2003 the opportunity arose for Brent and Kris to purchase the Carthage Livestock Auction Co.,
where he had worked while also working for the family operation for two years. “I grew up around sale barns with dad selling five days a week,” Brent says. “While kids were watching cartoons on a Saturday morning, I was sitting at the local sale barn. I love the cattle sales.”
At the sale barn Brent manages about 25 sales a year at the Carthage Livestock Auction, marketing 20,000-25,000 head annually. And six years ago, he realized a need to be filled for the Hereford breed. “I would talk with Hereford breeders who were $150 behind the money at the sale barns,” he says. “Then John Meents approached me, asking if I would be willing to put together a sale. I said, ‘Absolutely.’” John Meents, AHA field representative, says the discounts often associated with Hereford feeder cattle highlighted the need for a sale such as this.
“Before the sale in Illinois, and the one like it in Kentucky, Hereford calves were bringing 10-15 cents less than black-hided cattle,” John says. “I believe in nondiscounts — not premiums. And we were being discounted, which was bad for our cattle.” Now, the first Thursday of each January is reserved for the Herefordinfluenced sale, through which 400600 calves are marketed yearly. All calves consigned to the auction must be pre-registered for AHA’s Hereford Verified program. As calves are brought to the sale barn, they are weighed and grouped into 75-lb. increments. continued on page 34...
Hereford cattle come from as far as Pennsylvania to be sold in the Carthage Hereford-influenced sale.

“In a class of 600-675-lb. calves, a steer weighing 600 or 675 will be paid $1.40 per pound if that’s the bid, across the board,” Brent explains. And because of this, he says, consignors are pleased.
It’s a good thing Brent says nearly 95% of breeders participating in the sales are purebred Hereford breeders, consigning approximately 90% straight Hereford calves with the remaining as black baldies. Most consign from 15-20 calves each year. One such consignor is Floyd Crane, who runs about 75 registered Hereford cows, along with 20-25 recipients to carry Hereford embryos, in LaSalle, Ill. He sells about 10-15 bulls each year, in addition to show heifers, through the Hereford Holiday Classic sale in Clinton, Ill. Until three or four years ago, Floyd says, he sold his remaining
“The wonderful thing about Brent is that he runs the sale barn and is a Hereford breeder, himself. He cares about his consignors and tries to help us as much as he can.” — Floyd Crane feeder calves at the local sale barn. And his cattle were bringing 10-15 cents less than their blackhided counterparts. “We were discouraged by that,” he says. “When we heard how good the Hereford cattle were doing at the Hereford-influenced sale, we decided to try it. And we’ve been happy ever since.”
Since the inception of the Hereford-influenced sale at the Carthage auction barn, Hereford cattle often bring more than their black-hided counterparts.

Now, Floyd says, his Hereford cattle are often selling higher than his neighbor’s black-hided calves. “There’s no reason for us to think about going anywhere else,” he says. Floyd says Brent’s Hereford background and passion also serves the consignors well. “The wonderful thing about Brent is that he runs the sale barn and is a Hereford breeder, himself,” Floyd says. “He cares about his consignors and tries to help us as much as he can — even coordinating a semi to haul my cattle, along with my neighbors’, for this year’s sale. That’s a big thing for someone like me.” John says the distance from which some consignors travel is testament to the value of the sale. “The consignors have been happy,” he says. “And we even have two breeders bringing their cattle from Pennsylvania for the sale, which is about a 600-mile haul. They obviously see the value.” John believes sales such as this drive the Hereford bull market, as well. “One breeder had sold about four Hereford bulls a year before participating in the Kentucky Hereford-influenced sale several years ago,” he says. “His Hereford bull sales have doubled every year. And now, he’s selling 50-55 bulls a year.” Brent says he believes the Illinois Hereford-influenced sale is a boost for the Hereford breed in Illinois, as well. “It’s definitely helped us sell Hereford bulls,” he says. “And I believe it’s only going to continue to grow. I wish we could see where we are five years from now. I definitely think it’s only going up from here.” HW

Lowdermans, Stahlys Honored with Innovator Awards Brent and Kris Lowderman, Carthage, Ill., and Mike and Judy Stahly of Stahly Ranch, Cavour, S.D., were presented American Hereford Association (AHA) Innovator Awards during the National Western Stock Show Hereford Carload and Pen Show Jan. 18 in Denver. Brent and Kris were chosen because of their contribution to the Hereford industry. Brent was raised on his family’s Hereford operation, Lowderman Cattle Co. He is still a part of that operation today, along with his parents, Jack and Sherry, who started the Hereford business, and his brothers and their families.
Mike and Judy Stahly of Stahly Ranch, Cavour, S.D., were honored with a Hereford Innovator Award for Stahly Ranch’s commitment to the Hereford industry and the National Reference Sire Program. Pictured (l to r) are: Cliff Copeland, AHA president; Judy and Mike Stahly; and Craig Huffhines, AHA executive vice president.
Brent and Kris own and operate the Carthage Livestock Auction Co. in Carthage, Ill. Brent manages the auction barn, and Kris utilizes her skills as an accountant to keep the books for the auctions. Through their involvement in the auction business and their love of Herefords, Brent and Kris helped start the Greater Midwest Hereford Influenced Feeder Calf Sale in 2007, which was one of the first of its kind and has helped create demand for Hereford and Hereford-cross feeder calves. The sale helps smaller producers pool their cattle and draws buyers looking specifically for Hereford feeder calves. For more on Lowdermans, see Page 32. Mike and Judy Stahly were chosen because of their contribution to the Hereford industry by using young Hereford sires in the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) on their commercial cow herd. Mike and Judy manage a Hereford-Angus cross commercial cow operation with their son and daughter-in-law, Doug and Chris, and their sons, Spencer, Mason and Nolan. The Stahlys started with the NRSP in 1999 as part of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s tenderness program. Through the NRSP, the family has tested two to three new sires each year, resulting in about 80 to 100 calves. Over the years, they’ve reported data on 1,187 calves representing 45 sires. Stahlys background the steer calves together, and then they are all sent to one feedlot. Keeping the calves together allows for excellent data collection throughout all phases of production. Watch for more on Stahlys in the August Hereford World. HW

Mile Hig h Nigh t Sale
A Night to Remember:
Mile High Night Sale Grosses $666,925 T
he Mile High Night National Hereford Sale was one for the Hereford record books. The excitement level reached an all-time high as Hereford enthusiasts took over the Stadium Arena (showring) floor for this Denver evening sale spectacular. Approximately 1,500 Hereford enthusiasts witnessed the “electric” atmosphere as 28.42 live lots averaged $19,805. Moving to the stadium floor seemed to take the sale up another notch, almost doubling gross sales in comparison to the 2012 Mile High Night sale. The bull average was up about $6,000 to $47,109, and 21 females commanded an average $10,157 per head, which is about $2,000 more than last year. Four flushes brought $6,437.50 per flush, also, and 25 embryos averaged $701. Leading the high sellers was Lot 3, the reserve champion polled bull, WORR Owen Tankeray Y79D ET, an Oct. 6, 2011, son of NJW FHF 9710 Tank 45P, consigned by Worrell Enterprises, Owen Bros. and J Bar L Cattle of Mason, Texas, and Douglas, Wyo. The gavel landed at $120,000 as the Tankeray Group claimed ownership. This bull posted reserve championships at Kansas City, Louisville and Denver and made his final stand as grand champion polled bull in Ft. Worth. The second high seller was Lot 4, Perks 144U Right Track 2040, a Feb. 15, 2012, son of TH 75J 243R Bailout 144U ET, consigned by the Perks Ranch, Rockford, Ill. This popular calf posted calf championships in Louisville and Denver before being selected by the Right Track Group for $101,500 for half-interest, half-possession on this herd sire prospect. Lot 16, pick of Ned and Jan Ward’s 2013 heifers from Sheridan, Wyo., has become a popular tradition for this sale. Blairs Ag Cattle Co., Lanigan, Saskatchewan, tipped its hand at $40,500 to claim ownership of this pick. Lot 10, ECR Who Maker 2502 ET, an April 9, 2012, bull calf sired by DKF RO Cash Flow 0245 ET, consigned by Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch, Ree Heights, S.D., had many friends in the stands as he brought $38,000. Bushy Park Farm, Mitchell, S.D.; Tucker Cattle Co., North Platte, Neb.; and Sullivan Farms, Dunlap, Iowa, teamed up to own the reserve champion spring calf in Denver. Lot 2, pick of the Atkins and Delaney carload of bulls was another popular lot, which has also been a mainstay
Hereford.org
to this sale for the past several years. Delaney Herefords, Lake, Benton, Minn., and Atkins Herefords, Tea, S.D., big supporters of this sale, watched as Lorenzen Farms, Chrisman, Ill., laid $25,000 on the table for this selection. Lot 17, pick of any female in the Rausch Herefords program, Hoven, S.D., is another long-standing tradition for this sale. Express Ranches, Yukon, Okla., will go to South Dakota to look at females and pheasants as its $21,000 won this lot. A new consignor to the sale this year, Tracy Cattle, Wellfleet, Neb., left the sale ring with a smile as its consignment Lot 8, BNT Prince Charming 201, a Feb. 3, 2012, son of TH 64U 719T Victor 26X, paced the ring at $15,000. Able Acres, Wingate, Ind., placed the winning bid for this solid prospect. Lot 31, an April 6, 2012, daughter of TH 71U 719T Mr. Hereford 11X, consigned by Cache Cattle Co., Wellsville, Utah, rounded out the high sellers at $14,500. Buck Cattle Co., Madill, Okla., claimed this female. Moving this sale to the Denver showring floor was a huge undertaking. Two hours before the sale, there was only a bare showring. The National Western crew went out of their way to make it happen. A huge thanks also goes out to the many Hereford breeders, senior and junior board members, sale management staff, auctioneers, ringmen and American Hereford Association (AHA) staff who all jumped in and made this a reality in just a few short hours. Four hundred chairs, a complete raised sale ring, draping, display stalls complete with stall cards for sale cattle, 80 bags of chips, two bars, a sound system and a plethora of other items all came together in a two-hour span. To those who lent a hand to make it happen — thank you! National Cattle Services and the AHA managed the National Western Mile High Night Hereford Sale. Eddie Sims, Matt Sims and Cody Lowderman were the auctioneers, and Ruth Sims clerked the sale. Plans are already in the works for next year’s Mile High Night sale. Herefords made a huge statement in Denver this year.

Just Doing His Job 2013 Hereford Herdsman of the Year Jay Creamer believes the title is a humbling recognition for simply doing his job. by Christy Couch Lee
T
o many, being chosen as the Hereford Herdsman of the Year at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver is an honor above them all. It’s a symbol that a person’s work has caught the attention of his peers. That he’s respected. That he’s doing things right. This year, Jay Creamer, Waxahachie, Texas, caught that attention. Jay was selected for the award by his peers — other Hereford herdsmen and breeders — and was honored prior to the selection of the NWSS supreme champion Hereford on Jan. 19. He says to receive this award is humbling. And, to him, it’s simply recognition for doing the job he was hired to do.
Getting his start Jay has been active in the cattle industry since birth. Growing up in Whitney, Texas, he showed cattle through 4-H, FFA and junior organizations. “My parents, Jack and Jan, were very hands on, and I couldn’t have done it without them,” Jay says. “We maybe didn’t have the resources to do as much as we did, but we succeeded at a high level in the Texas shows.” He worked for Sullivan Ranches in Hillsboro, Texas, throughout high school and during his time attending fire academy and EMT school.
Soon after graduating, he began working for Talmo Ranch in Talmo, Ga., where he met his wife, Lindsey. They were married in 2005 and now have two sons: 4-year-old Grady and almost 1-yearold Gage. In 2006 Jay began doing custom work for GKB Cattle in Waxahachie. He then transitioned to the role of herdsman, where he is responsible for the show cattle herd: halter breaking, feeding, clipping, transportation and hiring help. In addition, Lindsey assists with GKB office work. Jay says he knew the cattle industry was his passion because he simply couldn’t turn away from it. “I paid my way through EMT school and the fire academy by working with cattle,” he says. “It seemed like I kept falling back into it. I love the camaraderie and the thrill of winning. You have to love it to get up and do it every day of the week.” It also helps to have mentors on whom you can rely for guidance and advice, Jay says. And he believes he has been fortunate to have many.
Inspiration along the way Topping the list of those providing inspiration are his parents, he says. “I lost my dad last year,” Jay says. “His involvement with me really got me to where I am today. The work ethic that he and my mom handed down to me and the things they instilled in me — I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for them.” His wife, Lindsey, has been a great support, as well. “I told her when I went to work for GKB what would be expected, and she has always fully supported me,” he says. “She’s probably the most understanding wife in the world. She has raised our two boys, and I’m not sure what I’d do without her to keep me steady.” Justin Renfro, Extension agent; Dan Sullivan of Sullivan Ranch; and Jill Miller, owner/manager of Talmo Ranch, were also extremely influential in his life, Jay says. “I learned through them to be myself and not to try to be who someone else wants me to be,” he says. “I learned that people will respect me for being myself. And if they don’t, they’re not your true friends.” And, he says, Gary and Kathy Buchholz, GKB Cattle owners, have been incredible mentors in his life, as well. “Gary and Kathy are true cattlemen, and the opportunity they’ve given me is very humbling,” he says.
The feelings are mutual

The Buchholzes also have great respect for Jay, saying he is a true asset to their operation. “He’s a true herdsman, and he is able to maximize the cattle for show day,” Gary says. “He’s a hard worker, he never complains, and he’ll do anything. And, he’s the type of guy I completely trust. I’ve always said I can train a person to clip and pull calves. But I can’t train honesty and morals. And you can’t buy them. But Jay has them both.” Hereford.org
Hereford Herdsma n of th e Year
Tips from the Herdsman Jay Creamer, Waxahachie, Texas, was recently named the 2013 Hereford Herdsman of the Year at the National Western Stock Show. He shares these tips for success in the industry. • Everyone starts somewhere. “Nobody starts at the top,” he says. “You have to work your way up.” Jay’s responsibilities as herdsman for GKB are multi-faceted — from getting cattle ready at home and at the show to being at the halter in the showring.
Not only has Jay benefited their operation, Gary says, but he’s also an asset to the Hereford breed. “He respects what the Hereford breed has to offer, and he knows they are based with a commercial base,” he says. “I think the Herefords have come to a strong point. Now, we need to keep the EPDs (expected progeny differences) in balance. Keep the females looking like females and the bulls looking like bulls. And never forget the commercial cattleman. Jay knows that we must stay in the real world, working for the commercial cattleman.” Jay says of all the breeds he’s worked in, the Hereford breed excels in quality — both in people and in cattle. “I’ve worked in probably every facet of the cattle industry, and by far the Hereford breed and its camaraderie, people and friends — there’s none above them,” he says. “It’s a cut above the rest.” Erick Schmidt, GKB Cattle promotion tech, says Jay is also a cut above when it comes to his relations with Hereford youth. “He really understands juniors and motivates them to do what needs to be done,” Erick says. “His patience is one of his most vital attributes. He’s been really good at slowing down and working with the individuals. He doesn’t get mad very easily, and if he does, he’s not going to let you see it — especially with the young kids.” In addition, Erick says, Jay understands how to get the most from the cattle in the herd. “For the Herdsman of the Year award, you have to prove it to earn it,” Erick says. “He’s taken the GKB program to the national stage and has proven his abilities. He’s consistently earned this recognition. And he’s an overall great cattleman.” In fact, his focus on the cattle of the industry almost led to him missing the award announcement. Standing ringside, discussing cattle with a fellow cattleman, Jay was focused on conversation as the award presentation began, just before the supreme champion Hereford contenders entered the NWSS showring. “Erick kept elbowing me and telling me to listen,” he says with a laugh. But once he heard the announcement, his focus most definitely shifted. “I just can’t explain how it felt to hear my name announced,” Jay says. “It’s an honor above all honors. The Hereford.org
• Surround yourself with
the best. “You’re only as good as the people you associate with,” Jay says. “If I didn’t have the crew I have working with me for GKB, this wouldn’t have been possible. It means more to me than anything to have a crew behind me that I can trust.”
• Take every opportunity
to learn. “Try to spend more time listening instead of talking,” he says. “You may learn something that you don’t want to do. Or you may learn a new way to do something. But you have to listen.”
• It’s all about respect. “Respect the people that came before you,” Jay says. “If it weren’t for the people that have brought the Hereford industry to where it is today, none of us would have a job.”
• Open your eyes. “Observation is probably one of the best tools you have,” he says. “Whether it’s learning something to do or not to do, if you’re not learning, you’re falling behind.” HW
guys that have been before me are my friends and guys that I look up to. To be mentioned and to go after them is truly an honor.” Winning the Herdsman of the Year title wasn’t something Jay sought to win, he says. It’s simply recognition for doing his job to the best of his abilities. “I wouldn’t think anyone goes out to win the Herdsman of the Year award,” he says. “But I just do the best I can. If you’re doing the right things and surrounding yourself with the right people, good things will happen.” And, he’s hopeful that good things will happen for years to come. Jay says he’s not sure what the future holds for his boys and their involvement in the cattle industry. But he would love to carry on the Hereford tradition with them. “I truly hope it’s their desire to show Hereford cattle, just to be able to spend the time with them,” he says. “I know how much of a difference it made in my life, working with my mom and dad. There’s no greater reward as a parent than to be able to share this with them.” HW

Hereford breeders are implementing new marketing strategies to reach new customers. by Robin K. Kleine

reeders must be willing to give the extra effort or go the extra mile to get their cattle sold, says Dale Stith, an auctioneer and sale manager from Maysville, Ky. “One has to have the visual material available like photos and videos to interest the buyer sitting at the computer. The product has to have the EPDs (expected progeny differences) and pedigrees to fit the marketplace. Presentation is paramount,” Stith says. Fieldmen, breeders and sale staff agree presenting cattle in the most positive manner and providing a little bit of quality customer service will get the cattle to the right homes. “Making a customer happy will always make you money,” Stith says.

Bid-Off Sale

John Meents, American Hereford Association region 5 fieldman, says he thinks the future of live auctions will be in cooperative auctions with three to six medium-size breeders. “People love to buy cattle at auctions, and people love to sell cattle at auctions because they bring more. In terms of live cattle, they want to see them before they write the check,” Meents adds. But, it’s not always possible to attend a sale across the country. Matt Macfarlane spent his childhood on an Idaho ranch and showed Hereford cattle. He started M3 Cattle Marketing based in Sheridan,

Calif., in 2001 but has been in the cattle marketing business in the Western U.S. for nearly 20 years. Macfarlane says Internet bidding can really add to a live auction. He explains that 2012 was the first year he used videos for the Western Nugget National Hereford Sale in Reno, Nev., and it was the highest average in the sale’s history. “Videos help because you can see everything about the cattle structurally that you can’t see on a picture, and give you a better overall view of what you’re potentially buying,” Macfarlane says. Stith agrees that online bidding adds to a successful sale. “The Internet has definitely broadened the market at my auctions. There are specific buyers that have participated by Internet bidding that have never attended one of my auctions,” Stith says. Besides live auctions, other formats are being used in Hereford sales. Mud Creek Farms, German Valley, Ill., uses a bid-off sale the first weekend in October. Andrew Garnhart, his wife, Christy, and their two young boys, as well as his parents and sister, run the 60-cow operation. 2013 will be the fourth year for the Football Frenzy Bid-Off Sale. “We wanted to find a way to drive more traffic to our farm. There are so many options to buy cattle in Illinois and this was a cost-effective route,” Garnhart says. Mud Creek Farms sells approximately 20 heifers and steers each year. All cattle are on display starting Saturday morning and bidding closes at dusk on Sunday. As Garnhart says, it’s a reasonable way to sell cattle and get personal contact with every person bidding in the sale. Hereford.org
“I’m out there the whole time, and people can come and go as they please. I can talk to them about their needs and look at animals that will work for them,” Garnhart says. He adds that word-of-mouth is the best way of getting people to their farm, but he uses their Facebook page, Mud Creek Farms, to market cattle and to create business exposure. He also has a large e-mail database to connect with the farm’s customers, in addition to its website — Mudcreekfarms.com. In 2012, because of these complementary marketing efforts, Mud Creek Farms sold cattle to nine states. One of the highest averaging state sales in the nation, the Maryland Hereford Association’s Celebrate Maryland Sale, is held annually the second Saturday in October. Every year there are approximately 50 lots, and the auction rotates among different members’ farms. Current Maryland Hereford Association President Jay Stull and his wife, Shelly, have hosted the event five or six times at their farm, East Side Farm in Frederick, Md.
“I think it’s been so successful because of our sale manager, Dale Stith, doing the selections by hand,” Stull says. “He visits each farm, looks at every nomination and says yes or no. We only bring the very best to the sale.” In 2012 the Maryland Hereford Association began a bid board for the steer calves. The bid board began two hours before the live auction and was geared toward the junior members. Maryland Hereford Association member Bobbye Schmidt initiated the idea and dealt with the actual bidding process. The calves were all groomed, halter-broke and ready for the 4-Her, Stull says. Having the calves ready for the buyers also helped the prices for the breeders, as the steers brought more this way, and set a positive tone for the rest of the sale. Stull believes the association will continue with a bid board for the steers in the future. “It was really cool to see the children getting involved, they were going back and forth to their parents and studying the animals, and doing their own bidding,” Stull says.
Utilizing videos As another alternative, Journagan Ranch at Missouri State University, Springfield, has been using video of the lots during its Genetically Yours Sale for the past three years. The lots are filmed in late August, and three large screens show the videos at the time when the cattle are normally run through the ring. The cattle are also on display the entire week before and on sale day at the William H. Darr facility in Springfield, Mo. Marty Lueck, manager of Journagan Ranch, says switching to using video continued on page 72...

120 days 120 days 120 days 100 days 150 days
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION LONGRANGE™ (eprinomectin) should be given only by subcutaneous injection in front of the shoulder at the recommended dosage level of 1 mg eprinomectin per kg body weight (1 mL per 110 lb body weight). WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Withdrawal Periods and Residue Warnings Animals intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 48 days of the last treatment. This drug product is not approved for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, including dry dairy cows. Use in these cattle may cause drug residues in milk and/or in calves born to these cows. A withdrawal period has not been established for pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal. Animal Safety Warnings and Precautions The product is likely to cause tissue damage at the site of injection, including possible granulomas and necrosis. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. Local tissue reaction may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter. Observe cattle for injection site reactions. If injection site reactions are suspected, consult your veterinarian. This product is not for intravenous or intramuscular use. Protect product from light. LONGRANGE™ (eprinomectin) has been developed specifically for use in cattle only. This product should not be used in other animal species. When to Treat Cattle with Grubs LONGRANGE effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season. Environmental Hazards Not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive rotational grazing because the environmental impact has not been evaluated for these scenarios. Other Warnings: Underdosing and/or subtherapeutic concentrations of extended-release anthelmintic products may encourage the development of parasite resistance. It is recommended that parasite resistance be monitored following the use of any anthelmintic with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test program. TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY Clinical studies have demonstrated the wide margin of safety of LONGRANGE™ (eprinomectin). Overdosing at 3 to 5 times the recommended dose resulted in a statistically significant reduction in average weight gain when compared to the group tested at label dose. Treatment-related lesions observed in most cattle administered the product included swelling, hyperemia, or necrosis in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin. The administration of LONGRANGE at 3 times the recommended therapeutic dose had no adverse reproductive effects on beef cows at all stages of breeding or pregnancy or on their calves. Not for use in bulls, as reproductive safety testing has not been conducted in males intended for breeding or actively breeding. Not for use in calves less than 3 months of age because safety testing has not been conducted in calves less than 3 months of age. STORAGE Store at 77° F (25° C) with excursions between 59° and 86° F (15° and 30° C). Protect from light. Made in Canada.

instead of running cattle through the sale ring has been a “win-win” for both him and his customers. Along with showing the videos during the sale, the videos are also posted prior to the sale on BuyHereford.com. This allows potential buyers who travel to Springfield and those who buy on the phone a chance to look at the cattle before the event. “We have not had one bad comment,” Lueck says. “There are so many benefits to hosting the sale this way.” He lists the benefits of: 1) Quickness of the sale. He says this format cuts 15-20 minutes off the sale. 2) The cattle are more comfortable. They are available to be viewed out in the pens but they do not have to go through the sale ring. 3) Cleaner sale area. 4) His crew can watch the sale.
The Internet In the past five to 10 years, the Internet has supplemented cattle sales everywhere with information readily available on Facebook and YouTube, as well as online auction sites. M3 Cattle Marketing uses the Internet for business every day. Today Macfarlane manages 15 to 20 sales per year and works as a ringman at sales all over the West with the California Cattleman Magazine. He says there is a slower transition to the Internet in the cattle industry but the younger generation relies on it. “I don’t know anyone who is successful in this business that doesn’t have a web page or some sort of Internet activity. It’s so easy to simply search for them,” Macfarlane says.
Meents suggests another avenue for marketing is BuyHereford.com. The BuyHereford.com website was created to offer Hereford genetics in an online format. This resource is a lowcost avenue for breeders, Meents says, and many have successfully used it to sell embryos and semen, as well as live cattle lots. Macfarlane also uses Facebook and YouTube videos to connect with potential buyers. He puts information of all the sales he manages on Facebook, including links to sale catalogs and to the videos of cattle on his YouTube channel, Matt Macfarlane. This information is supplemental he says, as most people still look forward to getting a sale catalog or magazine in the mail. Stith believes that the Internet makes highquality photography and videos even more necessary and valuable. All serious breeders need a website that is kept current and visual, he adds. “I have always been an advocate of high-quality photography and at the same time refuse to run photos that ‘reduce value.’ There is a fine line here and most breeders are not photographers — use professional and the cost will come back to the seller over and over,” Stith says.
Follow up One thing is certain: customer service never goes out of style. Macfarlane says he believes today’s market is a lot more about a specific program rather than the individual cattle. He adds, “If you don’t follow up on what you’re selling, you’re not going to maintain those customers.” HW Hereford.org

According to industry leaders, this is happening because commercial ranches realize that a top end bull will generate $5,000 to $10,000 more revenue than an average bull. This happens when a bull sires one or two more live calves per year, adds 20 lb. to yearling weights and has a slight increase in carcass weight, percent Choice and feed efficiency. Then, if a bull is easy fleshing with lower maintenance requirements, his daughters save more yet on feed costs. • Churchill A1 is a bull bred to produce these top end commercial bulls.

uying a bull is as important a decision to a cow-calf producer as buying a tractor for a farmer. It’s impossible to plant a crop without a tractor, much as it’s impossible to raise a calf without a sire. Similarly, bull buyers should keep in perspective that a bull is a long-term investment, which greatly affects the productivity of an operation. However, relatively speaking, a bull represents a small percentage of a rancher’s input costs. Texas A&M University Emeritus Ranch Management Economist Jim McGrann has developed an easy-to-use Excel spreadsheet to help cattlemen keep bull purchases in perspective. He has set up the spreadsheet to consider the following factors: “Purchasing herd bulls is an investment that is expected to pay out over three to five years,” McGrann says. “The ownership costs (depreciation, death loss and interest cost) are an annual cost spread over females serviced and calves produced during the bull’s productive life. Depreciation is the purchased cost minus salvage value. Salvage value or cull bull net sales value is a substantial portion of bull initial purchase cost reducing bull depreciation.” For example, paying $4,000 for a bull that will service 25 cows a year for four years means that bull cost is just $12.63 per hundredweight (cwt.) or 6% of each calf’s value if the 550 lb. calf is worth $180/cwt.

at weaning. And that figure is based on weaning an 85% calf crop from cows exposed (see Figure 1). Let’s say you find a superior bull and spend $4,500 and get a 575 lb. calf. If all the other factors stay the same, you spent $500 extra dollars to get $45 more per weaned calf and your bull cost per cwt. of weaned calf is just $13.29 — less than a dollar more. This makes the bull cost 6.3% of the calf’s value (see Figure 2). McGrann says, “The investment in a higher priced bull that can contribute to improved production of more market acceptable calves and better weaning weight for the cow-calf producer is not that costly when numbers are put into perspective for calves sired and as a percent of the breeding cows total annual cost. “This decision aid helps put the bull investment into proper cost perspectives. Annual cost is calculated in terms of the number of cows serviced and what change would be required in weaning weight to pay for the higher priced bull. Calculated cost per calf and per cwt. of calf weaned per cow exposed are good indicators to compare bull investments. This provides information on what the market would have to pay to justify paying more for a herd bull that could produce a more market acceptable higher valued calf.” Another example would be if an extra $1,000 spent on an older or continued on page 80...

Factrel®
Fort Dodge Animal Health Fort Dodge, Iowa 50501 USA
GONADORELIN HYDROCHLORIDE For Injection For the treatment of cystic ovaries in cattle. CAUTION Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. DESCRIPTION FACTREL (gonadorelin hydrochloride) is a sterile solution containing 50 micrograms of synthetic gonadorelin (as hydrochloride) per mL in aqueous formulation containing 0.6% sodium chloride and 2% benzyl alcohol (as a preservative). Gonadorelin is the gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) which is produced by the hypothalamus and causes the release of the gonadotropin luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary. FACTREL (gonadorelin hydrochloride) has the identical amino acid sequence as endogenous gonadorelin; 5-oxo Pro-His-Trp-Ser-TyrGly-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2 with identical physiological activities. The molecular weight of gonadorelin is 1182 with a molecular formula of C55H75N17O13. The corresponding values for gonadorelin hydrochloride are 1219 (1 HCI) expressed as C55H75N17O13HCI, or 1255 (2 HCI) expressed as C55H75N17O13 2HCI. MECHANISM OF ACTION Follicular cysts are enlarged non-ovulatory follicles resulting from a malfunction of the neuroendocrine mechanism controlling follicular maturation and ovulation. Exogenous administration of agents possessing luteinizing hormone (LH) activity, such as pituitary extracts or human chorionic gonadotropin, often causes ovulation or regression of follicular cysts. FACTREL induces release of endogenous luteinizing hormone (LH) to produce this same effect. No significant differences have been demonstrated in days from treatment to conception, frequency of cows conceiving at first or subsequent heats, or conception rates among treated or non-treated control animals. INDICATIONS FACTREL (gonadorelin hydrochloride) is indicated for the treatment of ovarian follicular cysts in cattle. The treatment effect of FACTREL when used in cattle with ovarian follicular cysts is a reduction in the number of days to first estrus. DOSAGE The recommended dosage of FACTREL is 100 mcg/ cow intramuscularly. RESIDUE WARNING Because FACTREL is identical to endogenous GnRH such that both are rapidly metabolized without detectable levels in milk or tissue, no withdrawal period is required.

Following Her Heart
2012 CHB Distinguished Chef Robbi Jenkins followed her passion to a life in the culinary world. by Christy Couch Lee
B
ecoming a culinary chef was only a dream — until she made that dream a reality. And because of her dedication to the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) brand, Robbi Jenkins, executive chef of Three Fires Steakhouse, Prairie Band Casino and Resort, Mayetta, Kan., can now add the title of 2012 CHB Distinguished Chef to that reality. Fenton Barnard, Kansas City Protein LLC procurement manager, nominated Jenkins. This nomination, coupled with letters of recommendation, her résumé, the Three Fires Steakhouse menu and her entrees, led to her recent honor. Her background is rich and diverse. And it all led to the discovery of her true passion — playing out her life’s love through culinary expression.
Strong culinary roots Jenkins was born and raised in Mississippi, where she watched her grandfather work as a baker and her grandmother — Mama — work as a domestic worker, providing
Distinguished Chefs of Hereford Beef
meals for the more affluent families of their hometown. “With my granddad, I was 10 before I ever had a store-bought bread or cake,” she says. “And I always watched Mama entertain and cook beautiful, wonderful Sunday dinners.” Although she enjoyed perusing cookbooks and creating new recipes, a career in the culinary field wasn’t at the top of Jenkins’ mind as she entered college and pursued a degree in English. Upon graduation, Jenkins worked as a flight attendant out of Miami and
then moved to L.A. to take her place in the corporate world. “All the while, I was entertaining and preparing new recipes,” she says. “And my friends would always say that I should do it professionally. But I just didn’t know how to make a career of it.” However, changing life events took Jenkins back to where her parents were living in the suburbs of Chicago. And Jenkins decided it was time to follow a new career — one that allowed her to pursue her life passion. In 1994 she entered the two-year program at Washburne Culinary Institute & French Pastry School in Chicago. “I wasn’t there more than a week, and it was like I had an epiphany,” she says. “I felt within myself that I had found what I was looking for. I was delighted, and I felt so fulfilled. By the time I was finished, I knew I wanted to be a chef. And I knew I wanted to go someplace fabulous to work under excellent chefs.” Jenkins began her career at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Chicago, where she worked with a number of outstanding chefs for five years. Enticed to Lawrence, Kan., by family members in 2001, she immediately fell in love with the area. Her professional stops included PrairieFire in Lawrence; Joe D’s in Brookside, Kan.; Café Allegro in Kansas City, Mo.; and the
“Having been a chef for many years, I have had the opportunity of working with many brands of beef products, and I now know Certified Hereford Beef is the beef product I can hang my reputation on. It has proven to be the most tender and consistent product each and every time.” — Chef Robbi Jenkins 86

Hereford.org
Ameristar Casino in North Kansas City, Mo., for a six-year stint before accepting the head chef position with Prairie Band Casino & Resort.
The Three Fires Steakhouse Jenkins says the Three Fires Steakhouse is high quality, yet relaxed. “I’d characterize it as fine dining, but not too stuffy,” she says. “Our clientele are comfortable when they’re here. They’re everyday folks — farmers and ranchers in our area, often — who don’t necessarily get gussied up for dinner.” In her everyday work as head chef at Prairie Band, Jenkins is responsible for setting culinary standards for all of the resort’s restaurants and food service venues; training and developing her kitchen’s team members; writing menus and recipes; and choosing select food products from a range of purveyors utilized by the resort. When a CHB representative approached her about trying the product, she says, she was open to the idea. “The only thing I knew about the Hereford breed was from an old Jimmy Stewart movie I watched years ago,” she says with a laugh. “I said I didn’t have a problem with the product I was using, but I was willing to try it.” Jenkins says the Hereford story and legacy drew her in from the beginning. “I like the fact that the cattle are raised here in the state of Kansas,” she says. “And if we picked up this product, we would offer something that supported the Kansas economy. In addition, we would be serving somewhat local food.” And once she tasted the CHB product, she was sold. “When they brought in the CHB steaks and grilled them up, they were fantastic,” Jenkins says. “The flavor, marbling and tenderness were wonderful. Having been a chef for many years, I have had the opportunity Hereford.org
of working with many brands of beef products, and I now know Certified Hereford Beef is the beef product I can hang my reputation on. It has proven to be the most tender and consistent product each and every time.” The CHB product is used often in the Three Fires Steakhouse — in the steakhouse burger, filet, prime rib, strip steak, ribeye and T-bone entrees. The steakhouse menu also touts the beef as being CHB, and servers are educated about the product. “We want them to be able to speak about CHB with enthusiasm and knowledge,” Jenkins says. The enthusiasm doesn’t end with the restaurant staff. Customers also share in the excitement for the CHB brand. “We always have had the reputation for good steaks,” Jenkins says. “And virtually everyone talks about the tenderness and flavor. I even had one customer tell me that he normally puts steak sauce and seasonings on his steaks, but he didn’t need anything with his CHB steak at our steakhouse.” The resort is also located near a golf course that attracts clients who travel often. And these clients also frequent the Three Fires Steakhouse. “The golf course brings a clientele that is worldly, and who have eaten in many different places around the country,” Jenkins says. “They rave about the steaks they get at Three Fires, and even have compared our steaks to those they have eaten at Ruth’s Chris and Morton’s. I would put our product against anyone’s, and I’m confident we’d beat them. I have confidence because I use CHB.” That confidence led to Jenkins’ award nomination.
Capturing the award Barnard says he nominated Jenkins for this award because of her talent, intellect and belief in the CHB program. “She’s an overall great person to represent CHB in the field,” he says. “Her background and experience

as a chef, and her knowledge and professionalism speaks for itself. She’s loyal to the program and she represents the brand well.” Jenkins says to receive the CHB Distinguished Chef title is a great honor for her, as well as for the Three Fires Steakhouse. “My colleagues have started calling me the Hereford queen,” she says with a laugh. “And I’m very proud of it, and of our restaurant. I’ve been a cheerleader for the CHB product, and I’m sure it will bring great recognition for the brand, as well as for our restaurant.” Jenkins says the Three Fires customers have grown to trust her and her staff for their selections and offerings. “I like being a trendsetter, and serving CHB is our way of serving something different and wonderful,” she says. From her family tradition in the entertaining and food world to her career as an established culinary chef, Jenkins’ life has come full circle. It’s amazing what can happen when you follow your passion. HW

28th Annual Production Sale Saturday, April 6, 2013 • 1 p.m.
at the ranch, 17 miles south of Brownwood on FM 45
Selling: 66 2-Year-Old Bulls 15 Open Hereford Heifers 5 Black Baldie Heifers Dear Friends and Cattlepeople,
The MW Hereford Ranch is pleased to announce plans for our 28th Annual Production Sale to be held on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at the ranch, located 17 miles south of Brownwood, TX on FM 45, just south of the Colorado River. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our friends and buyers from previous years that continue to make this sale possible. Our confidence in the cattle industry and the Hereford Breed in particular remains strong. We look forward to a great sale with at least a dent in the drought this winter and prospects are pretty good for a bluebonnet spring. We will have 66 highly selected herd sire prospects and range bulls this year. These modern, rugged, range-raised, performance and fertility-tested bulls have really balanced EPD numbers. They represent the best of the Hereford breed and are ready to go to work. We have been pleased with the looks and performance data of our new herd sires and will offer a large number of their offspring in the sale. We will offer 20 12-15 month old, open, registered, horned heifers ready to breed with excellent EPD numbers. We feel their blood lines represent the best of the Hereford industry today and many could become future Dams of Distinction. As usual on Sale Day, we will have the cattle on display by 10:00 a.m., with lunch at 12 p.m. and the Sale beginning promptly at 1 p.m. As always, we absolutely guarantee our cattle. If you are not completely satisfied, we will make it right. We will be glad to assist you with the delivery. Please contact any member of the family for further information and details. Our catalogs will be available by late February. We look forward to seeing you at the Sale. The Locklear Family Hereford.org
