More than 8,000 cattlemen and cattlewomen recently met at the 2015 Cattle Industry Convention and Trade Show in San Antonio, Texas. Since attending for the first time in 2012, this convention has quickly hit the top of my list of professional events I look forward to each year. Leading off with Cattlemen’s College, we heard from industry experts on a range of producer education subjects from management and cuttingedge technologies for the cow-calf producer to learning the latest in consumer research and what drives consumers’ purchasing decisions. The CattleFax Outlook session has long been a highlight, and the industry has reason to remain optimistic as it’s predicted for prices to remain strong in 2015. The trade show is top-notch, and Hereford once again had a strong representation there. One statement, or theme really, struck me this year, and it wasn’t from a cattleman or industry member. It was from keynote speaker Erik Wahl, an internationally-recognized graffiti artist who created these amazing paintings onstage within a matter of minutes and used them to share a message of creativity. “Work smarter, not harder,” he said, encouraging cattlemen to
employ creative problem solving and to think outside the box. He led off his talk by polling the audience asking “Who can draw?” No hands were raised, mine included. Wahl explained if he asked a group of high school students, he would get a little better response and if he posed the same question to young children they would be jumping out of their chairs saying “I can!” His point being, in general, we grow adverse to risk as we grow older and become less likely to get out of our comfort zones and beyond our current skills and knowledge. March is a busy and important time for Hereford breeders. Calves are hitting the ground, the weather seemingly teases us with promises of warmer temps, new herd bulls are being purchased and breeding decisions are beginning to be made. Wahl’s message is as appropriate as ever at this time of year and in this point of history for the industry — consider new ideas and creative ideas. There is great opportunity to make genetic improvement in your herds, and with technology available to Hereford breeders, this can happen quicker and with more confidence than in the past. Now is a favorable time to consider how you are going to market your calves and
what management practices you can utilize to increase your profits and meet the demand of your customers. Mark Hilton, DVM, Purdue Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences said in a Cattlemen’s College session on developing a healthier, more profitable calf to “Look to the future and adopt technology they will pay you for.” In this issue you will find a special section on the 2015 National Western Stock Show (NWSS). Herefords “Took Denver by Storm,” breaking records and making their mark on NWSS history. Summer will be here before we know it, and juniors can begin to make plans for the Junior National Hereford Expo June 27-July 3 in Grand Island, Neb. We recognize the Nash-Deewall family for celebrating 100 years in the Hereford business, and we travel to Kentucky to learn how one family incorporates Hereford cattle into their Thoroughbred farm. Turn the page, and you will find Craig Huffhines’ final note to American Hereford Association membership as executive vice president. As he pursues a new opportunity, his leadership in the organization will be missed. I hope spring 2015 finds you pursuing creative ways to grow and refine your Hereford business. HW

The Future Couldn’t be Brighter Dwight D. Eisenhower said, “Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.” The U.S. President and Commander of Allied Armed Forces during World War II would have been proud of what this organization and membership has accomplished in the last decade and a half. We sure haven’t been laying down on the tracks. There was a time this business was stuck on the tracks and the future almost slipped by, but
Huffhines Pursues New Opportunity; Hereford Leadership in Transition Craig Huffhines, AHA executive vice president, has announced his resignation after 18 years at the helm of AHA. Huffhines has accepted the position of executive vice president of the American Quarter Horse Association with offices located in Amarillo, Texas. “We are going to miss Craig’s enthusiasm, charisma and steady leadership,” says Eric Walker, AHA president from Tennessee. “However, the AHA now has one of the most dynamic and professional staffs in the livestock industry and we are confident that we will transition into a new phase of leadership.” Huffhines will remain on the AHA staff until early March. The AHA Board is assembling a leadership search committee to assess the prospects for filling the position. In the meantime, AHA staff members will continue business as usual. “I have spent my entire professional career with the AHA and it is has been an honor for me to serve such wonderful people for so long,” Huffhines says. “What an extraordinary experience it has been to work with Hereford families across America to rebuild this great breed of cattle to the prominent position it now finds itself. “The American Quarter Horse Association is another iconic organization that has offered my family an opportunity to get back to our roots in Texas. My wife and I will always cherish our many friendships across the Hereford industry and we look forward to a new exciting chapter ahead.” HW

braver and wiser leaders were not willing to let that happen. Even though the Hereford leadership could not foresee this incredible time the breed is now experiencing, they put trust in each other, they worked tirelessly to institute a commercial beef industry focus and they decided to think positively. They supported a young naïve family man to execute their plan and develop a team of young industry enthusiasts. They gave new staff people a chance to grow, gain experience and make mistakes. Their attitude became one of success even before success was realized. Because of it, opportunity has been created for a whole new generation of Hereford breeders. As Hereford breeders you possess amazing resilience. You have a passion for this business that transcends understanding. You take care of your kids and provide youth the opportunity to attach to this industry. You truly understand that sustainability of your farm and ranch resource starts first with your family and then taking care of the operation. You all represent the very small minority of Americans who truly understand what it means to be a family business owner. You understand the blood, sweat and tears that go into being a seedstock producer. Few in this country have an understanding of your commitment and sacrifice.
It’s been an honor and a privilege to serve as your executive vice president. I have grown up in this business, not working for anyone else my entire adult career. There is a sense of pride that swells up in me when I see $8,000 to $11,000 bull sale averages. It’s an emotional feeling when I think about the Meeks family at Upstream Ranch in Taylor, Neb. They beat all odds during the toughest of times to reach a pinnacle this past month to gross $2.9 million on about 300 Hereford bulls and 50 females. I’m still in awe of the mass of people who attended the Mile High Night National Hereford sale in Denver. The Hereford breed is doing astounding things! The American Hereford Association (AHA) will transition to new leadership. This will be a healthy change. The process will make the Board stronger and even more resilient. My prayer is that whoever is given the opportunity, you will all extend to that person the same courtesy, reassurance and support you gave me when I first started. Most of the time all that’s needed is encouragement for people to do great things. Thank you all for your support and the trust and faith you placed in me here at the AHA. My wife, Mary Jon, and I are forever grateful. Go Hereford! HW

AI Advances Hereford Genetics Artificial insemination (AI) has played a fundamental role in the Hereford breed’s genetic progress and development. In fact, since 2003 AI use has increased by more than 51%, and breeders continue to add this technology to their herds. In fiscal year 2014, nearly 30% of the calves registered with the American Hereford Association (AHA) were by AI sires. This month, you will find the 2015 Hereford AI Book included with the Hereford World. This tool allows breeders of all sizes access to the best genetics the breed has to offer and the ability to customize breeding programs — specifically, to make mating decisions.
Table 1 provides a list of the top 10 sires by registrations for fiscal year 2014. Each of these sires is a proven sire with at least .60 accuracy for weaning weight (WW), and each of them is a trait leader for both Baldie Maternal Index (BMI$) and Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$). It is certainly encouraging to see multitrait leaders being used and incorporated by breeders. In addition, seven of these sires are either owned or leased by major bull studs. Whatever your breeding program emphasizes, a balance between the use of some high accuracy sires along with young sires will help you identify the value of each of the traits of interest. Obviously, the incorporation
of genomic information into a sire’s pedigree can help you identify sires younger and can make those animals much more reliable. You will find these bulls identified with genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). See the article “Making the Numbers Work” on Page 48 of the February 2015 Hereford World. The Hereford breed is experiencing a significant increase of customers in the commercial industry, and it is the customers who will help identify traits and information needed to make their programs profitable and sustainable. Listen to them, and make breeding decisions based on customers’ needs. HW

Feedlot Farm -toFork Part 1: Seedstock Part 2: Stocker Part 3: Feedlot Part 4: Packer Part 5: Retail Part 6: Foodservice Part 7: Consumer Part 8: Future
We continue our Farm to Fork journey with the feedlot, where Herefords will be fed a special blended ration to help them achieve their full potential as finished cattle. We visited with two feedlots that are renowned for turning out Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®): Feller Cattle Co., Wisner, Neb., and Gregory Feedlots, Tabor, Iowa. Tom Feller of Feller Cattle Co. (started in 1985) began helping his dad when he was in high school. David Trowbridge, manager of Gregory Feedlot, started a registered Hereford herd in high school with his brother. Following high school, Trowbridge earned an animal science degree from the University of Nebraska and went to work for Gregory Feedlot, where he has been a manager since 1977. Trowbridge says Herefords fit seamlessly into feedlot operations. “I am proud to say that today’s genetics in the Hereford breed will perform competitively with any other breed in the feedlot,” he says. “Herefords will compete for top gains, conversions and carcass quality. We have genetic diversity and most producers continue to select animals that push our breed forward in all areas of economic relevance.” According to Trowbridge, the term “finishing cattle” is unique
Do your cattle fit the Certified Hereford Beef Brand? Live cattle specifications: Must have predominately (51%) white face Must be Hereford and Hereford-English crossbred cattle Must be beef type breeding only (no dairy breeding) Must have no excessive hump (Bos Indicus influence) Can’t be bulls, cows or heiferettes May be horned or polled Carcass specifications: Must have USDA select or higher marbling Must be “A” maturity only Must exhibit medium or fine texture marbling Must have a 10-16 in. sq. ribeye area Must have less than 1 in. fat cover Must be 600-1,000 lb. hot carcass weight Must exhibit moderately thick or thicker muscling Must have less than a 2 in. hump Can’t be dark cutters Can have no capillary rupture And if you are looking to buy or sell your top-quality Hereford calves, visit HerefordFeederCattle.com, the latest collaboration from the American Hereford Association and CHB LLC. The website is a free tool for sellers and buyers to list, view or purchase Hereford-influenced cattle. Producers can list cattle by completing a simple online form at the website listed above. If you want more information, contact Trey Befort, CHB supply chain manager, at 816-842-3757 or tbefort@herefordbeef.com. HW

to the United States, as it refers to the beef industry’s program of taking cattle from a low-energy, mainly roughage diet and progressively increasing the energy level of their diet to produce a “grain-fed” product with a higher level of marbling. In a perfect world, Feller says, a 600 lb. steer should take 220 days to finish, while a 900 lb. steer should finish in around 140 days. In order to reach this goal, feedlot cattle receive expertly designed nutrition. Feed rations are determined by animal gender, genetics and final market destinations. Feller and Trowbridge both hire consulting nutritionists for their feedlots. “The ever increasing technical aspect, levels of precision and constant introduction of new products makes it very difficult to maintain the level of expertise needed,” Trowbridge says, making the use of a consulting nutritionist much more efficient. Vaccinations are given to all cattle when they come into the facility. Each individual animal is also given an electronic identification number. “Vaccinations are essential
Hereford.org
to maintaining good health in cattle and thus maximizing the production potential of each animal,” Trowbridge says. Both feedlots are responsible for the care and daily observance of their cattle but use a consulting veterinarian for diagnosing, treating and ensuring proper procedures are in place. When the cattle are getting ready to transition out of the feedlot, they are checked for any necessary withdrawal times. Withdrawal times are common for many of the vaccinations and feed additives used in feedlots and to maintain consumer food safety. Today, this means using a computer program linked to the animal’s ID that alerts the feedlot if cattle are being shipped out before the proper withdrawal time. With this procedure in place, feedlot managers can separate the animal until it is properly cleared. Feller says the well-being of their cattle is a top priority and running a feedlot is a year-round endeavor. “Our doors never close,” he says. “Either cattle are coming in or shipping out. We are feeding twice a day and riding pens every day.”
“Modern Herefords have improved in the last 10 years,” Feller says and contributes this improvement to the breeders who made it happen. “Herefords are more efficient, have good disposition and are weather acclimated.” Gregory Feedlots and Feller Cattle Co. both stated they prefer to finish Hereford-influenced cattle for several reasons. “Good Herefords gain 3.5 to 4 lbs. a day in the feedlot,” Feller says. “We are increasing the number of whiteface cattle in our program because of both the proven improvements in performance and the availability for our producers to access a premium for their product at the packer level,” Trowbridge adds. Both feedlots provide CHBeligible to Greater Omaha Packing Co. Inc. Feller stated, “We like to deal with programs that tie the packer, consumer and producer together for not necessarily a partnership, but rather a communication relationship that helps everyone perform at their peak and be more efficient.” HW

Juniors, Don’t Miss these Events Up the ramp we went onto the green-carpeted stage in Stadium Arena at standing-room-only capacity, overflowing with Hereford enthusiasts. It didn’t take long before the ringmen were calling bids right and left, and I could feel the overwhelming joy spread through the board members standing in the sale ring as the gavel fell and the auctioneer said, “sold.” The Mile High Lot 1 Foundation Female brought $100,000, which will go to the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and the “Growing a Lasting Legacy” campaign supporting leadership and education for the next generation of Hereford youth. The National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) thrives simply because of the support from
breeders like Churchill Cattle Co., Manhattan, Mont.; Stuber Ranch, Bowman, N.D.; and Iron Lake Ranch, Athens, Texas, who graciously donated the foundation female, along with Bushy Park Farm, Mitchell, S.D., and Cottonwood Springs Farm Cedar, Mich., who stepped up and purchased the lot. These operations and the individuals who run them have my utmost respect for believing in the youth of our organization enough to support them in such a way. Their support allows our youth to continue to engage in leadership and character developing activities each summer during the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) and the Faces of Leadership Conference, which undoubtedly are what every NJHA member looks forward to year-round.

Visiting different parts of the country, gaining new friends, seeing old friends and making lifetime memories are just a few of the reasons you don’t want to miss out on this summer’s NJHA events. The first don’t-miss event is the JNHE, June 27 through July 3 in Grand Island, Neb. JNHE is something that so many others and I spend all year counting down to. In fact, I recall seeing many Facebook statuses last year after Harrisburg already beginning a countdown for this year. Imagine a barn filled with Herefords and Hereford enthusiasts from all over, and all are there for the same reason — passion for the breed. Each day is filled with a variety of contests and shows. Take some time and browse the “Contests/ Awards” area under the “Juniors” tab at JrHereford.org to see more opportunities at junior nationals. The JNHE is one of the most exciting and beneficial events for juniors, so take the time to attend this event this summer, and
I promise you will never want to miss it again! Leave the cattle behind for a few days and plan to reunite with those friends you made at the JNHE when you attend the 2015 Faces of Leadership Conference July 25 to 28 in Estes Park, Colo. Juniors will have the opportunity to learn from industry professionals at Colorado State University. This event is a chance to get in to see businesses and colleges from a unique perspective. I remember attending the PRIDE conference in Stillwater, Okla., which ultimately led me to attend Oklahoma State University. These opportunities really are once-in-a-lifetime events and will provide you with a chance to help you make decisions about your future. Faces of Leadership attendees also will have the chance to view some of the major cattle operations in the state of Colorado. Mark the date on your calendar, and stay tuned for more information about this event. Juniors, whether you have never attended these two events or you have attended them many times, I challenge you to continue to stay involved with them both because when you look back in a few years, you will then realize the positive impact they made on your lives. As I reflect on the impact the two events have had on my life over the years, I am taken back to the foundation female from this year as well as those of previous years. It is because of operations like Churchill, Stuber, Iron Lake, Bushy Park and Cottonwood Springs that the NJHA has had such a positive influence on the person that I am today. Thank you again to all of those who played a part in this year’s foundation lot. HW

Want to make better decisions? Take this advice. How can you become faster at making decisions? Brothers and best-selling business authors Chip and Dan Heath offer some really simple advice. If you are trying to make a decision in a business setting, ask yourself: “If I was replaced tomorrow and a wise successor took my place, what would he or she do?” The Heaths say something profound happens when you see your dilemma from the outside like that. Similarly, if you are struggling with a personal decision, they suggest asking yourself: “What would I tell my best friend to do?” The Heaths’ most recent book is “Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work.” They’ve also authored “Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die” and “Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard.” With regard to decision making, this brother duo also advises researching several options first. If you are buying a new laptop, look at three to five alternatives. Adding options makes you more honest about how you assess them, they say. They explain that if you are only evaluating one candidate for a job, or one vehicle that you may buy, human nature is to rationalize away the negatives because you want that choice to work out. In contrast, if you compare two or three options, you will be more honest about the pros and cons. Another tactic that the Heath brothers promote is doing a “premortem” — a process attributed to psychologist Gary Klein. To do this, you and your team imagine that you just made a decision — and then you envision a year has gone by and the decision turned out to be a disaster. From this exercise, you analyze what went wrong — hypothetically, of course.
32
/ March 2015
Based on those possible disaster scenarios, you then work to ensure those outcomes do not occur in the real world.
Speaking of failure And what happens if you do fail? Hopefully, you’ve heard the expression that “experience is the name we give to our mistakes.” Indeed, failure can be a wonderful teacher — if you allow yourself to really analyze what went wrong or what could have been done differently. In a recent article about Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor of the online Huffington Post news site, she pointed out, “There’s absolutely no one who’s succeeded who has not failed along the way.” She added, “My mother used to call failure a stepping stone to success, as opposed to the opposite of success.” Huffington also shared a story about Steve Jobs who said being fired from Apple was the best thing that ever happened to him. He said, “The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything.” To that, Huffington notes that success often generates fear — and stops people because they are afraid to step out of their comfort zones and risk failure. Don’t let that happen — forge ahead and take risks. Whether you are successful, or fail, you’ll learn from the experience.
Build a team Whether they realize it or not, leaders have a dual role — foremost is their job as a visionary, setting the future direction and plans for the business. But perhaps equally important, suggest many human resource and business experts, is the
leader’s role as a “motivator” and “inspiration” to the employees. You may have the best strategic plan and vision in the world, but without the commitment and support of your employees, that vision will likely not get off the shelf, and success for your business or organization will be an uphill battle. Employees want to be part of the team; they want to understand the vision and mission of the business; they want to have a clear, written description of their jobs; and they want feedback as to how they and the business are performing. As a leader, are you taking time to offer regular feedback to your employees or team members so they can continually improve their job performance? Do you recognize that feedback should be a balance of both positive and negative comments? UCLA basketball coach John Wooden understood this approach. He kept diaries and noted improvement of each player during practice. Wooden then shared that feedback with players at the end of each practice. This feedback took 15-30 minutes extra, but it was important to Wooden as a coach, and the results showed. Wooden and his team earned 10 NCAA titles. Sharing feedback with your employees — making them part of the team — could very well make your operation more productive. Respected business guru and former General Electric CEO Jack Welch understood this principle as well. His sage advice is quite simple, but many who are in leadership roles tend to forget this perspective. Here is what Welch summed up so nicely: “Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.” HW

Nash-Deewall Herefords Named Century Breeder Nash-Deewall Herefords celebrates 100 years in the business of raising low-maintenance Hereford cattle. by Sara Gugelmeyer
F
ranklin Nash served his country proudly in World War II, but other than that stint, his entire adult life was spent in the pursuit of the greatest Hereford bull he could produce. That’s according to his daughter, Jane Nash Deewall, who, along with her husband, Mike, operates the family Hereford herd today. It was Franklin’s father, Walter, who acquired the first Hereford in the family in 1914. For that reason and in celebration of 100 years in the Hereford business, the Nash-Deewall family of Deewall Herefords, Coldwater, Kan., was honored as a Century Hereford Breeder Oct. 31, 2014, during the American Hereford Association Annual Meeting in Kansas City, Mo.
“My granddad Walter originally came to Colorado from Missouri,” Jane says. “He married Elizabeth Savage in 1914, and they bought their first registered Hereford cattle.” Walter bought the cattle, which were of Gudgell & Simpson breeding, from fellow Colorado breeders William MacKenzie and George Crow. He grazed them on the Nash Ranch in the high country north of Canon City, Colo., west of Pikes Peak. “He and my grandmother had seven kids who all worked on the ranch growing up,” Jane says, “Hereford cattle were their main source of income and all of them went to college on income from Hereford cattle.”

Army man But Jane’s father, Franklin, didn’t stay in college long. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, he joined the Army. “It wasn’t long before his superiors saw something special in him,” Jane says. “They sent him to the Solomon Islands, which were occupied by the Japanese. Franklin was the only American coastwatcher on the islands. Much of the time he operated behind the Japanese lines, and with the help of the island natives, he reported on the Japanese movements, and rescued downed pilots.” Jane adds that many of his coastwatcher experiences are documented in Walter Lord’s book “Lonely Vigil.” And in his letters home, he asked his father and mother to use his Army pay to purchase more Hereford heifers. Besides his time serving his country, though, Franklin Nash was all cattleman. “He just loved those cattle and it was his purpose,” Jane says. After the war, Franklin and Walter added more land and were running 500 commercial cows and 200 registered Hereford cows on 40,000 acres. Franklin also met and married the love of his life, Clara Louise Giem, and together they had six children. Then, tragically, at the age of 62, Walter was killed in a horse accident. Franklin then bought half of the ranch from his mother and sisters. Hereford.org
He bought all the registered cattle and called his operation Franklin Nash and Family Herefords. “He had an idea, and didn’t care what anybody thought about what he should have,” Jane says. “He basically linebred. He knew what he liked and he worked diligently to pursue it.” Although he would occasionally buy a bull, it was almost always from one of his customers that had an exceptional cow that raised a special bull calf sired by one of his bulls, Jane explains. “His intent was to raise a set of daughters sired by these outcross bulls,” she says.
Advance Domino 84 from Fred C. DeBerard. Those were two of the few outside bulls purchased, and most of today’s herd traces back directly to these bulls. In 1938 one of the first landmark sires for Nash Ranch was born, a son of Dominant Mischief and out of a Hazford Tone 33 dam: Tonie Mischief. Then, ten years later, Pres Mischief 33 was born, a double-bred Dominant Mischief calf. The 33rd — as Franklin called him — sired Pres Mischief 68 in 1954. This one was special, Franklin would say: double-bred Dominant Mischief and double-bred Advance Domino
84. His dam produced her last calf at 18 years old. “Nobody had a better one than this bull in his time,” Franklin was quoted as saying. “He came as near to having it all as any bull in the breed in the late 1950s.” The 68th would go on to sire three strong sons that Franklin really appreciated. Mischief AB, AB Misch 86 and Real Misch 110 were full brothers. “They were truly magnificent bulls that showed a lot continued on page 40...

of size, muscle and correctness,” Franklin said. One of the ten sons of these three bulls that were used heavily was Beau AB 147. He was born in 1962. Franklin sold interests in Beau AB 147 to Middleswarth Herefords of Wyoming and Reynolds C. Johnson of California.
Two bulls bought by Franklin from other breeders but sired by ones he raised were Misch Real and Triple President. Adv Z146 was by Triple President and out of a Misch Real daughter. Franklin wrote about this bull, calved in 1981, in one of his ads, “We can say that he fits our criteria,

producing sons that are big, fancy, smooth, good-doers. They sell well, are extremely trim and meaty with just the right amount of daylight to be impressive. The daughters out of Z146 are excellent. They retain their condition in the winter and milk great.” Then in 1981 Franklin stepped out and bought a monumental sire, The Arrow, from Carlson Herefords. His bloodlines traced back to the original Fred DeBerard cattle the Nashes had bought in the early 1930s. Since the purchase of The Arrow, the Nash herd has been closed and utilizes linebreeding only. The Arrow has sired genetics that are easy keeping and work in an all-grass program or add a lot of efficiency to any herd, Jane explains.
No exceptions Those types of traits were critical to Franklin’s operation, as Jane describes him as a ruthless culler of cows. Part of his herd management was a function of his location in high country that was not easily accessible. “In the winter, Franklin put all his cattle in a basin that faced south,” Jane explains, “He would take a load of salt-limited protein supplement in every three weeks. He never hayed those cows all winter. They calved in May and came out with a calf. If they didn’t they were sent to slaughter.” There were no exceptions, Jane explains. Cows and heifers were never coddled through snow storms or through calving. It made his cows tougher and eliminated the slightest problem. “It was no problem for him to run in a two-year-old sale bull that had gotten sick and cut him,” Jane says. “He treasured his customers enough that he just wouldn’t sell them one that had ever been sick.” She adds, “Those cows had to really tough it out and do it on their own,” Jane says. “He never saw them have a calf. He calved his heifers as 3 year olds right with the group. If they came out with a calf, great, if they didn’t they went to Hereford.org
slaughter. He also didn’t keep a bad cow, if they had a bad eye or if they got sick, they went. He would not tolerate it.” She adds, “That’s one reason we have such a nice herd today. We are benefitting from his knowledge and his wonderful ideal of what a Hereford cow should do for herself.”
Today’s operation Today the operation is run by Jane Nash Deewall and her husband, Mike Deewall. They both attended Oklahoma State University, were on the livestock judging team and graduated with animal science degrees. Mike grew up on ParKer Hereford Ranch at Chelsea, Okla., where his father, Orville, was manager. After graduation, Mike worked on other seedstock operations like Turner Ranch in Sulphur, Okla.; Oklahoma State University; Higgins Ranch; LeForce Herefords in Oklahoma; and Middleswarth Herefords. In 1991 Mike and Jane had already been purchasing some cattle from Franklin, and when they moved to the Deewall Family Ranch at Coldwater, Kan., in 1998, all the Nash Hereford cattle found their way to Kansas. The Deewall family had been in the commercial Hereford
business since 1892, and when Mike inherited the land, it was a perfect fit for the newly combined NashDeewall herd. Jane explains that five years of drought hit them hard, and although conditions are improving, their numbers are down. This year, they’ll calve out around 100 cows, but if the land continues to heal, 130-140 head is their target. The operation sells about 30 bulls a year private treaty, mostly to commercial cattlemen. The bottom eight to 10 head of bulls are castrated, and the Deewalls feed them and market them as beef. Most heifers are retained, although a few are occasionally sold as replacements. “We sell hardly any calves through the sale barn,” Jane says. “We either retain them or feed them through our beef program.” Mike and Jane have two children, Kelly and Kent. Their daughter, Kelly Shupe, is a veterinarian in nearby Ashland, Kan. She and her husband operate a commercial cow herd and plan to take over the Hereford herd when Mike and Jane retire. Mike worked as the Comanche County Extension agent for eight years and is recently retired. Jane works part-time in an accountant’s
office in addition to operating Nash Originals, a food gift box company. Jane’s mother passed away about five years ago, leaving Jane and each of her siblings a small portion of the original Nash Ranch in Colorado. For several years since, Jane and Mike have sent their yearling replacement heifers there to grow and get bred every summer. “They went up there and grew like crazy and came back in such good shape,” Jane says. “But it’s gotten to the point where the trucking is so expensive to get them there and get them home. And then we have to hire a guy to check them and get them brand inspected.” So, they leased their Colorado land to a local man, and they will keep their heifers home this year. It may be in a different state, but the Nash Hereford brand and philosophy live on, something Walter and Franklin would, no doubt, be proud of. “Herefords raised my father and six siblings and put them through college,” Jane says. “There were six of us kids and we all went to college on Hereford cattle. Both my grandparents’ and parents’ sole income was Hereford cattle. We are proud and very lucky to be continuing their legacy.” HW

Continuing the Conversation During the Hereford Genetic Summit Sept. 4-5, 2014, Hereford breeders were challenged to embrace technology, focus on the customer, and concentrate on feed efficiency and end product merit to help position the breed to gain more commercial market share. We will “continue the conversation” in upcoming Hereford World issues as we discuss with breeders key take-home messages from the conference and as an Association we continue to build a roadmap for improving Herefords’ position in the cattle industry. For a complete summary of the event, visit HerefordGeneticSummit.com or see the October Hereford World. This issue:
Feed Efficiency
Jerry Huth, Oakfield, Wis., and David Trowbridge, Tabor, Iowa, have both tested their bulls for feed efficiency using a system like this.

Game Changer Hereford breeders are encouraged to document and build upon feed efficiency. by Julie White
“The future for the Hereford breed is about as bright now as it has been in the last 53 years I’ve been involved in it,” said Dr. Kee Jim, veterinarian and founding partner of Feedlot Health Management Services Ltd. at the Hereford Genetic Summit last fall. How can seedstock producers ensure this is the case? A panel at the educational forum during the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting in November discussed a common theme — improving feed efficiency.
Efficiency matters “We are doing a lot of things outstanding,” said Jerry Huth, a Hereford breeder from Oakfield, Wis., during the forum. “But there are a couple of areas that we have to add — one is feed efficiency.” Huth encourages Hereford breeders to put emphasis on feed efficiency and to begin to improve the perception of the breed in this area. “If we can document that we are the feed efficiency experts we’re going to receive a great benefit in the market place,” he added. Huth said he sends his entire bull crop to Hays Beef Development Center, Mt. Ayr, Iowa. “I saw a need to measure,” he said. “I can tell you one thing about six years ago when I started this, I thought I was pretty smart about feed efficiency. Right now I don’t know if I know feed efficiency at all. There are a lot of frustrations because there is great variability in it.” An example Huth gave was that his bulls’ dry matter intake ranges from 15.4 lb. to 24.7 lb. per day. “The cost of gain is huge,” he said. “If you project yourself to 600 lb. of gain we have a variation between $574.26 to $363.91 on a very tight contemporary group of bulls that are fairly closely
related. This is a great variation in feed efficiency.” He explains that many breeders are not interested in this data. “Why is that?” he asked. “I think No. 1 is people may not understand it. There is measurability but a problem in how to define it. That’s a problem we have with feed efficiency and it’s going to be a real driver for the industry.” David Trowbridge, Tabor, Iowa, another panelist, shared Huth’s frustrations in feed efficiency variation. Trowbridge manages Gregory Feedlots, Inc. “I deal with feed efficiency every day,” he said. “That’s what drives my business.” Trowbridge began feeding cattle 37 years ago when hogs saw a 4:1 feed conversion, chickens were 2:1 and cattle were 6.5:1. “Today, hogs and chickens have improved, but cattle are still the same,” he said. “The only thing we’ve changed is the technology of feeding cattle, which has improved our efficiency. However, we have not looked at the genetics to change that. It has to come down the road because we have to become more feed efficient.”
Keeping quality genetics Huth and Trowbridge agree that breeders should be mindful of the genetics they choose to keep and market to cattlemen. “The feeder calves are worth a lot of money so it’s not a big deal to take a bull calf and cut it,” Trowbridge said. “We’re still going to see more bulls hit the market that probably shouldn’t be there because of the price we can get for those bulls. But we’d like to not see that. We have a great opportunity and a great amount of technology in our industry to select the right genetics to do the right job and make a lot of progress in a short amount of time.” HW Hereford.org

THE WEIGHT GAIN IS REAL. Go ahead, blink.
A deworming with LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) can help keep parasites from eating into your profits. If you used a conventional dewormer like CYDECTIN® (moxidectin), SAFE-GUARD® (fenbendazole) or in combination, your cattle are probably already reinfected with parasites. That’s because conventional dewormers only last 14 to 42 days and SAFE-GUARD has no persistent effect. Only LONGRANGE delivers up to 100 to 150 days of parasite control in a single treatment.1,2 When you look at the benefits of season-long parasite control with LONGRANGE – you’ll see you have a lot to gain.
Use LONGRANGE on your cow/calf operation and see the difference for yourself.

very fortunate to have been granted that opportunity,” Michelle adds.
Horse business What began as 100 acres and a few horses to board has grown into a 600-acre farm with 16 employees that boards approximately 125 horses and houses commercial and registered cattle herds. “Our main business is obviously Thoroughbred horses,” Jody says. “We board and raise horses for people from all over the United States — from California to New York, even stretching onto Canada — raise them up and sell them at yearling, weanling and mare sales. We also raise our own horses.” Currently, Elm Tree owns ‘parts and pieces’ of 35 horses
and approximately 10 of its own. The practice of being partners on horses is something Jody says helps protect horse owners by hedging the risk. “They are a significant investment, our average stud fee is probably $25,000 to $30,000, and he’ll breed 80-90 mares a year,” he adds. With pastures full of their own and others’ significant investments, Elm Tree stresses the importance of constant communication between the Huckabays, the vet and their employees. “Communication is something we constantly preach to our employees; good, bad or indifferent, we want to hear about it, we may not like it, but we still want to be in the know,” Jody says. Michelle explains that Elm Tree strives to maintain an opendoor policy between the farm and its clients. “They can come visit the farm whether they call and make an appointment or not,” she states.
During breeding season, recipients and registered cattle are found grazing together among the trees of Elm Tree Farms.

“We aren’t going to dictate when they can be here because we aren’t going to change the way we do things whether they’re here or not. We want our clients to know their horses are going to be treated the same all the time. “ For Elm Tree, spring is the busiest time of year. “This time of year is pretty stressful,” Jody says. “Trying to get mares bred, and with the (Kentucky) Derby, a lot of clients are in the area and drop by to see their horses.” The Huckabays admit that having one race in the Derby is the ultimate goal for any Thoroughbred farmer. While they may not have one of their own race during the most famous of horse races yet, they do have ties to the Derby grazing in their pastures. Jody points to a mare and foal, saying, “California Chrome, who won the Derby this year, is out of a sire named Lucky Pulpit. That is Lucky Pulpit’s mother.”
Change of pace The incorporation of cattle into their Thoroughbred operation stemmed from cleaning out horses’ stalls, Jody explains. “We keep all of our own grass hay bedding for the horse stalls,” he says. “A lot of farms clean out their stalls and have people come in and haul off their ‘muck’ for disposal.” A service, Michelle explains, you have to pay people to do. Instead the Huckabays decided to recycle the muck by feeding it to cattle. She says there was a couple of farms that had experimented with feeding the muck to cattle. “We needed a way to dispose of our muck and this made a lot of sense,” Michelle says. “The cattle love it and it works extremely well,” Jody says. “When the mares urinate on the straw the crude protein jumps from 9% protein to anywhere around 9 to 12-13%.” This practice, raising both cattle and Thoroughbreds, they explain, is becoming more common for people in the area. It Hereford.org
is more common for the practice to be used on feeders, but more people are starting to incorporate cow-calf operations. “About 10 years ago, we went to Idaho and purchased two Hereford bulls from Colyer Herefords and brought them back to breed to our black cows to get baldies and were extremely pleased with the results,” Jody says. Michelle says they originally bred their Angus cows to Charolais bulls in hopes of achieving smoky calves, but the Charolais temperament wasn’t a good fit to combine with the horse environment of smaller pastures and continuous rotation. “What piqued our interest in the Hereford breed was attending the Red Bluff Bull Sale 12 years ago,” she says. “We were just amazed at the quality of bulls there compared to what we were seeing out here and we decided if we could get some of those and bring them back here to breed to our black cattle to create black baldie calves that would be awesome. Jody started researching which led us to the Colyers. They had the type of genetics we wanted.” Jody says his love for Herefords actually began as a child. “When I was 5 or 6 years old, I raised a lot of bottle calves and the first calf I ever raised was a Hereford someone gave to us. It was very docile and a great calf, that’s what really got me started,” he credits. “That’s what we really like about Herefords, our son is showing and their temperament is great. In our opinion they are just outstanding cows,” he adds. For years the Huckabays put their focus on raising the best commercial cattle they could find, but as they began to focus on building a registered herd, they noticed many similarities in their business style between horses and cattle. “A lot of our cattle ideas we are modeling after our horse operation; our breeding philosophies etc.,” Jody says. “We are trying to buy the best females Hereford.org
we can afford, which is the same for the Thoroughbred business — you want really good mares.” According to Jody and Michelle, their advertising is letting their livestock — whether it be their cattle or horses — speak for itself. “We want people to look at our livestock and say, ‘Wow,’ in our opinions, that’s a good ad,” Jody says. Taking the registered Hereford angle to the next level, in the past two years, Elm Tree has introduced artificial insemination (AI) in order to improve its genetics and has also hired a herdsman, Ty McGuire devoted completely to the cattle. “The horse side is so labor intensive we hired a recent graduate of The Ohio State University who is doing a great job. Ty is super with cattle and knows about fitting and showing which is extremely helpful to us.” Ty — who is originally from Eaton, Ohio, and grew up raising and showing Angus and Hereford cattle — knew he wanted to work as a herd manager for a larger operation somewhere close to home. “I didn’t know Jody and Michelle before, but I heard they had an opening for a herdsman, and what a great operation it was and what outstanding individuals they are. I applied and it ended up being the perfect fit and the perfect location not only for me, but for my wife who works for the Kentucky Cattlemen’s Association in Lexington,” Ty says. One of the things McGuire finds most enjoyable about his position at Elm Tree is the day-today involvement of the Huckabays in every aspect of their operation. “They are very down-to-earth, hardworking individuals that care about the farm and care about the life and care of the livestock and their employees,” he credits. “They work just as hard as the employees do, they are at the farm every day at 7 a.m. and some nights don’t leave until dark.” According to Ty, the motto of Elm Tree is “solid from the ground

up,” something he says everyone at the farm works together to achieve. “Jody and Michelle have built their herd of Herefords from the ground up. They’ve went out and acquired some of the best genetics in the nation and continue to build on that,” he explains. “They are building a solid foundation of females and bulls. Which is how it’s done — starting from the ground, building it up right, and continuing to improve the herd. I think of them as great mentors.” For the Huckabays, cattle and the Hereford breed have become as important to them as their horses. “The commercial cattle we felt really comfortable with and how it fit into our operation,” Michelle says. “It was like the horses were our bread and butter and the cattle were just like our fun stress relief. Now the cattle are just as valuable to us as the horses so there is so much more stress in it.” Family is now the focus for the Huckabays’ stress relief, Jody and Michelle spend their free time with their two children — Caroline, 18, and Jack, 11. Jody says, “Our glass is half-full, what a blessing to be able to work in the industries we love and be successful.” HW

H
ereford enthusiasts once again came together to support youth Friday, Jan. 16 during the Mile High Night Hereford Sale in Denver. Kicking off the record-breaking sale was the Lot 1 Foundation Female selling for $100,000 to Bushy Park Farm, Mitchell, S.D., and Cottonwood Springs Farm, Cedar, Mich. All proceeds will benefit the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and the “Growing a Lasting Legacy” campaign supporting leadership and education for the next generation of Hereford youth. The Foundation Female, CCC SR ILR Foundation Lady 437B ET, was donated by Churchill Cattle Co., Manhattan, Mont.; Stuber Ranch, Bowman, N.D.; and Iron Lake Ranch, Athens, Texas. She is a Jan. 2014 daughter of NJW 98S R117 Ribeye 88X ET and out of the phenomenal dam Churchill Lady 1162Y ET by Golden Oak Outcross 18U. “Foundation Lady embodies everything the Hereford breed is about,” says Brady Jensen, National Junior Hereford Association chairman, of the Lot 1 female. “She is ultramaternal, great-structured and has a hard-to-find combination of an elite balanced look and power. She is sired by the very popular 88X bull. This female has the pedigree and phenotype
that can make a major impact.” With this purchase, the Lot 1 females have now generated more than $535,000 to support Hereford youth since 2008. “Once again, the support for Hereford youth and the future of our great breed shined bright at the start of the Mile High Night,” says Amy Cowan, director of youth activities and foundation for the American Hereford Association. “A sincere thank you goes out to the donors who dug into the heart of their program to make this sale possible and to Tim and Nancy Keilty of Cottonwood Springs Farm and Steve Robinson and Cory Thomsen of Bushy Park Farm for teaming up to
purchase Lot 1 and helping to build a firm foundation for the ‘Growing a Lasting Legacy’ campaign. The future of the Junior National Hereford Expo and other leadership events will prosper for decades to come with the generosity of the foundation female supporters in Denver. As a breed, we are very fortunate to have individuals who are willing to step up and make a difference in our youth programs.” HYFA is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit. Its mission is to support scholarship, education and leadership activities within the Hereford breed. For more information about the HYFA, contact the Amy Cowan at 816-842-3757 or acowan@hereford.org. HW The Lot 1 Foundation Female raised $100,000 for Hereford youth during the Mile High Night Sale on Jan 16. Bushy Park Farm, Mitchell, S.D., and Cottonwood Springs Farm, Cedar, Mich., purchased the female.

hen you combine a really great sale offering, an atmosphere that can only be created on the stadium floor in Denver, 5,000 plus people in attendance and a crew that can turn a blank showring floor into a sale theatre in less than an hour — great things occur.

The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors, National Junior Hereford Association directors, NWSS
staff, the crew from Pennsylvania, Jerry Piguet and crew, Express Ranch crew, several AHA members and AHA staff all form an army to convert the showring into a sale facility. This year it took less than an hour to place seven cattle display carousels, a sale ring with 100 feet of draping, 400 chairs, a sound system, two bars, 46 stall cards and 80 bags of shavings. Thanks also goes to the sale crew, auctioneers Eddie Burks and Rick Machado, sale consultants Matt Sims and Cody Lowderman, Katie Colyer from LiveAuctions.TV and the ring crew. Much credit goes to Eddie and Ruth Sims and the late Stanley Stout for building this sale’s foundation. Plans are underway for next year’s sale. The 2015 Mile High Night National Hereford Sale has left a huge mark in Hereford and Denver history. — Joe Rickabaugh, AHA director of field management and seedstock marketing

ne is a fifth-generation Hereford breeder and the other a third-, and together with hard work, an attitude of humility and being life-long learners, Tom and Tammy Boatman, Rockford, Ill., were recognized as the 2015 Hereford Herdsman of the Year at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. “We were both blown away and very honored to receive this award,” Tammy says. “To be listed with the ones named before us is very humbling. All in all, our feelings are mutual, as I don’t think

I would have won this without Tom, and he doesn’t think he would have won this without me — we are a team.” Tom and Tammy were selected for the award by their peers — other Hereford herdsmen and breeders — and were honored prior to the selection of the supreme champion Hereford on Jan. 17.
Growing up with Herefords Tom and Tammy both have been involved in the cattle industry all their lives and grew up showing
polled Hereford cattle. Tammy, a fifth generation Hereford breeder from Kansas, says her great-great-grandfather, Isaac Riffel, was the first in her family to raise Herefords. Her great-grandfather, Jesse Riffel Sr., started Plain View Farms in Enterprise, Kan., in 1918, and the farm was passed on to each generation including her grandfather Donald and her mother, Margarete. “I was very involved with the operation growing up and through college before I ventured off to work for someone else,” she says. “With it being a family farm, I was involved in all aspects of the cow herd, from breeding and calving to showing, and did whatever needed to be done for the day,” Tammy explains. Margarete had a custom fitting service which Tammy helped with. “To pay my way through college, I would help my mom at a show and then stay for the second shift to come in and work for breeders of different breeds, including Angus, Charolais, Gelbvieh and Salers. I learned a lot of different points of view and that everyone has different pet peeves.” Tom’s family originally raised Brahman cattle in Alabama. “My granddad was at the age where he couldn’t get away from them, and I was 4 years old (and) wasn’t scared of them,” Tom says. “So my dad sold them out and got into Herefords for their docility and something for me to show.” Tom began showing at age 7 on local and state levels. “I went to my first junior national in Mufreesboro, Tenn., in 1987
Tammy says managing a ranch is more than a job — it’s a lifestyle.

Finding their niche Following their junior show days, Tom and Tammy remained actively involved in the Hereford breed. After Tammy graduated with a bachelor’s degree in animal science from Kansas State University, she worked on her family’s farm and continued working freelance at shows. In 1998 she was hired as manager of Highpointe Farm in Alpena, Mich. “This was a small Hereford operation that had primarily bought from my family’s operation,”
she explains. “I was basically in charge of everything.” Upon graduating from high school in 1994, Tom landed a job at Tennessee River Music, Ft. Payne, Ala., as assistant show barn manager. “Then after a year I got promoted to show barn manager,” Tom says. “I was in charge of show and sale cattle and also helped calve cows.” In 1998 he became show barn manager at McMinn Ranch, Burton, Texas. In 1999 Tom and Tammy got engaged and moved to Alabama. They were married the next year. “We tried to run our own cows with my family in Alabama, but funds were tight,” Tom says. “So we started a custom fitting service as well, which is how we met Wesley Rakestraw, owner of JWR Land & Cattle, Dallas, Ga.” In 2003, Tom and Tammy became co-managers of JWR Land & Cattle. “We were in charge of everything from breeding decisions, breeding and calving cows, the embryo transfer program, record keeping, customer relations and show and sale cattle,” Tom says. “We also managed a production sale that was hosted the first Saturday in May, and also started hosting a junior show clinic during the summers for our customers which was a huge success.” Due to Wesley’s passing in 2008, JWR dispersed in 2011. Currently the Boatmans are co-managers of Perks Ranch in Rockford, Ill. “It’s the same situation as JWR, we basically do it all,” Tammy says. “We treat this ranch like it was

at age 9 and exhibited at each one after that while I was eligible to show.” Tammy also began showing at a young age and was involved in the state and national polled Hereford associations. Her first junior national was in Hutchinson, Kan., in 1981. The Boatmans have exhibited cattle at national shows including the NWSS; the Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show, Ft. Worth, Texas; the American Royal, Kansas City, Mo.; the Dixie National Livestock Show, Jackson, Miss.; and the North American International Livestock Exposition, Louisville, Ky. “When we were younger, we thought our favorite part of showing cattle was the competition and clipping and fitting,” Tammy says. “But as we get older, we’ve realized what we enjoy the most is all the people we’ve met, the lifelong relationships we’ve formed and only getting to see these people at shows. Shows are like family reunions or holidays to us.”
Tips from the Hereford Herdsman of the Year Tom and Tammy Boatman, Rockford, Ill., were recently named the 2015 Herdsman of the Year at the National Western Stock Show. They share these tips with youth for success in the industry. Get involved. Take advantage of the many activities, events and programs that your local 4-H and FFA clubs, state livestock and Hereford associations and the National Junior Hereford Association have to offer. You will be glad that you did! Learn the basics first. A lot of people want to dive into clipping and fitting, but if you take the time to learn the proper nutrition, health and daily hair care of your animals, the clipping and fitting process will come with time and be much easier to learn. Don’t be afraid to try. You will never learn to clip and fit unless you pick up the clippers and start. Work hard. Hard work will be noticed and will benefit you in the long run. Whatever you do in life, whether it be cattle related or not, give 100% of yourself. It’s not all about the purple. Don’t take this the wrong way, as everyone should have the goal of going to a show and winning a purple banner; however, if things just don’t go your way, take advantage of meeting new people who will become your lifelong friends and help you make connections in your future. Never stop learning. Don’t ever think you are too young or too old to learn something new every day.

our own with the decisions we make. We feel like the show cattle are a small part of what we do, as we also manage the ranch’s annual production sale the second Saturday in October (Fall Celebration Sale). Managing a sale is a full time job in itself.” Perks Ranch will also host their third annual Customer Appreciation Show Clinic in May. “Our goal has always been to raise good functional cattle and show the good ones,” she adds.
Help along the way Tom says there are many people in his life he would like to thank for guiding him as he learned about the industry and grew professionally. “My family taught me about good work ethic and I’m thankful they bought
those first Hereford cows when I was 4 years old and provided me opportunities in life,” he says. “Growing up, Perry Debter of Debter Hereford Farm, Horton, Ala., and Daryl Hicks, Cullman, Ala., got me involved with the right people and helped me make good connections. And when I worked at Tennessee River Music, Todd Edwards taught me how to feed show cattle and Chris Charnesky taught me how to breed and calve cows and gave me the cow herd point of view of an operation. When I worked at McMinn Ranch, Steve Osborne taught me how to clip and fit better.” Tammy echoes her husband saying, “There are so many people in my life that have made an impact on me, but I’d like to recognize the people who
Herdsman heritage Tammy is a third-generation Herdsman of the Year, following in the footsteps of her grandfather, Don Riffel, the 1969 winner, and her mother, Margarete Riffel, who won in 1993. “It is kind of surreal now, and I feel like I am a part of Hereford history,” Tammy says. “It’s pretty remarkable to say that we’ve had Pictured at the 2003 American Royal in Kansas City, Mo., are Tammy’s grandfather, Don Riffel, 1969 Herdsman of three generations win Herdsman of the Year; her mother, Margarete Riffel, 1993 Herdsman the Year.” Tammy describes her grandpa as of the Year; and her grandmother, Ladell. a great cowman and showman. “He even had to do it the hard way, hauling cattle by train boxcars and working hair without a blower,” she says. “I know he’s looking down on us and smiling.” Tammy was present when her mother won in 1993. “She was so honored and proud to say that she was following in her father’s footsteps,” she says. “She is the hardest working woman I know, besides my grandmother. “It’s very humbling, and I am very proud of this accomplishment for our family,” Tammy says. “Plus the fact that I won this with my best friend and partner in life, Tom, just adds to the dream.” HW

were involved in major turning points in my life. My mom raised me as a single parent, whom I respect, and because of this my grandparents were also a big part of my upbringing. My mom taught me how to work hard, my grandma taught me how to be a well-rounded person and my grandpa taught me how to be the showman I am today. “I owe Mike Runner from Oklahoma a lot, as one year when I was in high school, my mom had broken her arm, and we hired Mike to come and help us out. Since my mom was laid up, it was him and I in the barn, and he took the time and pushed me to start clipping. He said ‘you will never learn if you don’t try.’” She adds that when Rich Bates pursued her to manage his cattle in Michigan, he gave her confidence. The Boatmans say Wesley Rakestraw taught them about business on a large scale and general people skills including how to treat everybody equally and how to have fun and enjoy life. “He was truly an inspiration and a one-of-a-kind guy,” they say. “We both really think of each other as the other’s mentor,” Tammy says. “Tom has always admired how I got into the business — born into it — and I have always admired how he got into the business. He was the first one of his family to show, and he had to go outside of his family to learn the ropes.”
The next generation Tom and Tammy have two children, Kade and Kendall, 8-year-old twins, who are active in the National Junior Hereford Association and exhibited in their first Junior National Hereford Expo in 2014. “We both absolutely love what we do, mainly because we have a passion for Hereford cattle and couldn’t imagine our lives without waking up to feed and care for livestock,” Tammy says. “What we do is a lifestyle and don’t really consider it a job. We can’t think of a better way to raise our kids, by giving them the same upbringing that we had with cattle and teaching them about hard work and responsibility.” HW

Our livelihood depends on offering bulls/ females to the commercial cow-calf customer. Our bulls are built on the tenets of profitable cattle production: fertility, calving ease, growth, carcass merit and sustainable cow size with longevity. We recognize that cattlemen have many choices of breeds and breeders to source their input genetics from. To compete in the commercial cow-calf world, our bulls are genetically designed, environmentally pressured and finally selected to be profit leaders.

Hereford Is Always on My Mind
Promoting Herefords is a year-round job. by Bridget Beran
B
uilding up the Hereford brand is an important job for Hereford breeders throughout the country. However, this cannot be accomplished in a single day, week or even month. According to marketing experts, building a brand takes a minimum of four months before producers will begin to see the change in prices. For most consumers, the decision about where to spend their hard-earned dollars is made long before the day they go to the store. Likewise, commercial breeders have decided what sale they need to attend to purchase cattle months beforehand. This tendency to plan
106
/ March 2015
ahead means producers need to reach out before their sale month.
Building recognition “Year-round advertising helps build brand recognition,” says Andrew Brooks, Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC vice president of marketing. “We are blasted with thousands of messages a day and now, more than ever, those people can decide what they want to see and hear. For today’s customer to start to recognize a brand and demand a brand, they have to see and hear it over and over again.” To ensure top-of-the-mind awareness, people need to be hearing about Herefords and CHB®
all year. Whether producers are talking to a breeder or seeing logos on clothing, advertisements and signs, consistent exposure increases the odds that Hereford will be the first thought when a commercial cattleman thinks of what he needs in his new bull or females. “Promote the qualities that differentiate our brand and breed from so many others,” Brooks says. “Differentiation is our brand, and advertising is about positioning that brand by promoting and communicating our brand’s differentiators to a targeted mass audience.” Advertisements should focus on providing a constant and consistent Hereford.org

45 Herd Sire and Range Bulls 40 Open Registered Horned Heifers Dear Friends and Cattlepeople. The MW Hereford Ranch is pleased to announce plans for our 30th Annual Production Sale to be held on Saturday, April 11, 2015 at the ranch, located seventeen miles south of Brownwood, Texas on FM 45, just south of the Colorado River. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all f our friends and buyers from previous year 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 45 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 40 twelve-fifteen month old open registered, horned heifers ready to breed with excellent EPD numbers. We feel their bloodlines 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 at 10 a.m., with lunch at 12 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 delivery. This year our sale will be broadcast online at www.superiorclicktobid.com. We will also have videos of all the cattle online around the first of April at www. siperiorlivestock.com. If you need any assistance in registering to bid through Superior or have any questions regarding their services you may call them at 800-431-4452. 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
