News from the Office

Check out online educational resources Looking for information about how to manage your Hereford operations? There is a wealth of information at Hereford.org to help Hereford breeders. Recently added to the site is a suite of educational videos. Available online at Hereford.org/videos, producers can watch how to register or transfer an animal, as well as learn about expected progeny differences and the Total Performance Records Program. By clicking on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Education Centerâ&#x20AC;? tab at Hereford.org producers will find identification and management tips, FAQ sheets and marketing information. HW

An undeniable demand shift for the Hereford breed has thus far brought about good financial times for the American Hereford Association (AHA) in fiscal year 2012. Just through the midway point in the fiscal year, AHA has experienced a 6% increase in registrations, many of which are coming from older-aged females coming back into the performance program. In addition to the excellent financial growth experienced within the AHA records department, other subsidiaries including Hereford Publications Inc. and Certified Hereford Beef LLC are experiencing excellent growth as well. Hereford World magazine business has been strong, reflecting a desire by breeders to advertise more and expose their programs to a growing buyer base. In addition, CHB LLC has witnessed 15% growth in beef sales volume through the first two quarters of the year. CHB is expected to see a 6 million lb. increase in volume by fiscal year end, accounting for an additional 33,000 head going through the program in 2012. These excellent times have provided the Association the resources to aggressively review several aspects of our business and develop strategies for improving member services, continuing and even expanding our research initiatives including the development of new genetic improvement tools and continuing efforts in breed validation in crossbreeding systems. Furthermore, CHB LLC has added sales and

/ May/June 2012

marketing staff to support the growing CHB program.

New Hereford team members This spring AHA has made five new hires including a new customer service representative, Dawn Jochim, and Sydney Shepheard, who will support online data exchange and on-farm software developments. Jessica England, a new University of Missouri agriculture journalism graduate, was hired as HPI advertising coordinator. Within CHB LLC, two new graduates with Hereford roots have been hired to start in May, including past National Junior Hereford Association board member and Purdue University graduate Danielle Starr and past AHA youth department intern and University of Illinois graduate Jill Johnson. Both ladies will be trained to support the marketing, sales, customer service and communication efforts.

Member services Undoubtedly, the recording of registrations and performance data to document pedigrees and to produce breeder EPD reports is the most important service the AHA provides its membership. As important as it is, it is sometimes the most difficult and frustrating for membership to endure. Record keeping and accurate transfer of data to the AHA are not always easy tasks. Couple those with issues that can hold up work such as delayed AI (artificial insemination) certificates, ID or data errors, missing parent information or payment challenges, to name a few, can

all trigger work being held. This past year, the AHA implemented a very difficult computer system upgrade that is projected to have a shelf life of a decade or more. Learning the new system was a real challenge for staff. There were certainly some debugging and improvements to be made which caused some turnaround problems and grief for many members. Many of those problems have been corrected, and we are happy to say we are back on track with expected turnaround. That being said, the AHA staff is committed to improving our service level even further. In April the AHA Board approved the investment of a process engineer contractor to come in and evaluate the AHA system of doing business. In a team environment, staff worked with the contractor to develop new technology and management strategies for eliminating waste, improving turnaround time and reducing error rates in the data that breeders submit. Over the course of the next six months, AHA staff will be working very diligently on a multifaceted reengineering project that will begin to make life easier for members. It will take a dynamic communication and education effort of both staff and membership, but we are hopeful that with your support, we will enhance service to membership that can reduce cost, add value, reduce variation caused by error and significantly reduce turnaround time even further. As a staff, we are all excited to take this challenge on in developing new tools that will make us stronger as a service provider. HW Hereford.org

AHA election process Each year three American Hereford Association (AHA) Directors retire from the Board and three new Directors are elected to succeed them. The election procedure is a multi-step process. 1) Nomination of board candidates – The AHA Board of Directors executive committee selects a five-member nominating committee at-large to nominate a slate of six Director candidates.

2) Election of voting delegates – Each state elects voting delegates to attend the AHA Annual Meeting in Kansas City to vote on the slate of nominees. Each state is entitled to one delegate for every 750 Hereford registrations recorded from June 1-May 31. A state must have a minimum of 375 registrations to be entitled to one delegate. If the number of registrations exceeds 750 or any multiple thereof by 375 or more, the state will be entitled to an additional delegate or delegates.

3) State election of voting delegates – In late April, delegate nomination postcards are mailed to all AHA members. Replies must be postmarked by May 31. Each active member is asked to nominate one state candidate to be elected to serve as a delegate to the AHA Annual Meeting. An active member is defined as a member

that registered at least one animal in the calendar year preceding the year of the election. A state delegate ballot will be sent to each active member to vote from a list of state nominees. Each active member will vote for the entitled number of state delegates. Each state is entitled to a number of delegates based on registration count and membership count in the previous year’s registration period. A minimum of 375 registrations is required for the first delegate and then for every 750 registrations thereafter an additional delegate is added. In addition, each state is allocated a delegate for the first 25 members and an additional delegate for every 100 members thereafter.

Weighted votes Each member delegate vote will be weighted based on the individual’s registrations as follows:

Number of registrations

Retiring Reflections Serving on the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board is a huge privilege. During the last three years, we have been able to attend and take part in several events that have opened new doors in our lives. One of our favorite things to do while serving on the Hereford board is meeting and learning from fellow breeders and professionals in the industry. At the Youth Beef Industry Congress (YBIC) in Nashville this past year, we were fortunate enough to take part in the Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show. Attending this event gave us an opportunity to discover new technology and learn about the issues facing our industry. We have also been able to have some fun along the way at the Junior National Hereford Expo and the Program for Reaching Individuals National Junior Hereford Association Chairman – Matt Woolfolk, mrw216@msstate.edu Vice chairman – Austin Buzanowski, abooze74@yahoo.com Communications chair – Jaime Hanson, jaime_lh_30@hotmail.com Membership chair – Kevin Ernst, kevin_ernst13@msn.com Leadership chair – Tamar Adcock, tamar@adcockshowcattle.com Fundraising chair – Mallorie Phelps, aggiegerl15@sbcglobal.net Directors Andrew Albin, albino1991@gmail.com Hunter Grayson, hunterg@blackhatranch.com Krissi McCurdy, krissim2011@gmail.com Shelby Rogers, showingshelby@yahoo.com Keysto Stotz, skiatooktrumpet1@atlasok.com Courtney Tribble, tripletfarms@comcast.net Director of youth activities Amy Cowan P.O.

Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention. Having the chance to interact with the juniors of our association and seeing them succeed are the reasons we are on the board. These two events are places where our juniors are in the spotlight. From white water rafting in Idaho to visiting the Brickyard in Indiana, to competing in the showring, being able to have an impact on the juniors of our

association is the highlight of our time on the NJHA board. While on the NJHA board, we have gained some lifelong friends and many mentors who will help in any way on our journey. Thank you for letting us serve you as your directors for the past three years. — Mallorie Phelps and Hunter Grayson

NHW Prepares for JNHE While spring trees have budded and bloomed, plans for the 2012 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) have also come to full bloom. National Hereford Women (NHW) members have a very active role in these plans. The NHW supports awards, contests and scholarships with both organization and financial contributions. The scholarships we sponsor or co-sponsor are Ed Bible, John Wayne, Poll-ette Founders, Golden Bull Achievement and Heifer Scholarship. These scholarships provide educational opportunities for the Hereford youth, fulfilling one of the NHW mission statements. The Prospect Awards are presented to an applicant in each grade level between third and eighth grades. The Junior Golden Bull Award is presented to an applicant in each grade level between ninth and 12th grades. The NHW and a Hereford breeder team up to offer a registered heifer to a National Junior Hereford Association

(NJHA) member via a drawing during the JNHE. If the winner exhibits the heifer at the following year’s JNHE, he or she receives a $500 scholarship. We thank breeders who have participated in this award. The creative arts contest encourages junior members to use their artistic skills to create an impromptu advertisement with the JNHE theme or a theme involving the beef industry. The speech contests include illustrated, extemporaneous and peewee divisions. These contests encourage public speaking and leadership abilities. They also promote interest in the beef industry. The Bud Snidow Award is presented annually to an NJHA member who exemplifies honesty, fairness, hard work, enthusiasm and dedication to the Hereford breed. These were all qualities admired by Snidow. The Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) Grill-off is for all ages of juniors. It provides an avenue for creativity in presentation, recipe selection and theme. The contest is educational, competitive and so much fun. The NJHA, NHW and CHB LLC join forces to sponsor this contest. It is designed to promote the Hereford breed’s end product — Certified Hereford Beef!

State news needed Attention, NHW state organizations: please send your news to share with other state organizations across the nation. We will include this information in the NHW newsletter. Many members are interested in your activities, fundraisers, achievements, and queen and princess

Here at Bent Tree Farms we are starting our 32nd year of raising Herefords. We are selling our big semen tank and will offer semen on a lot of these bulls for the first time. There are genetics that have been chosen for maternal traits and easy keeping abilities off grass. Most of these animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ancestries have been raised on fescue pasture in the South. This semen is specially priced with volume discounts available. Some of this semen is eligible for export. If you would like a copy of the pedigrees or more information, please contact us at 256-996-0777 or Kathy_ultrasound@yahoo.com

Plan a Grand Time in Kids Kingdom

Island Oasis

State Fair

PHOTOS COURTESY OF GREATER GRAND ISLAND CVB

some folks boast that it is “the best waterpark between Des Moines and Denver.” Guests can brave the waves in the 350-thousand-gallon wave pool or relax and unwind along the 750-foot lazy river. For thrill seekers, there are two six-story high-speed slides and four giant 150-foot slides. Youngsters can enjoy the zero depth acres that include spraying fountains and a wacky wet otter slide. Plus they can build sand castles in the sand, stroll across the lily pads or test their skills on the log walk. There’s also an area for sand volleyball and an array of concessions for snacks. In Stolley Park, Kids Kingdom is a 28,000-square-foot, themed playground featuring a castle, a pirate ship, a Viking ship, slides, swings and an obstacle course. It’s a great setting to unwind and enjoy a picnic — while kids play and burn off their extra energy. The park also offers a miniature railroad line and a wading pool.

rand Island, Neb., is probably best known for the spring migration of Sandhill cranes that flock to the area. In fact, Forbes FYI named Grand Island the No. 1 place in the world for bird watchers.

While it’s a busy week of showmanship, leadership and friendship, there’s always a little time for some fun away from the cattle barns. Here are some ideas to add to your itinerary:

Great for kids Grand Island does indeed have a waterpark — Island Oasis — and

For history buffs — or parents who want their kids to get a glimpse of the past — the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer is a living history museum that has been called “one of the top 10 places to relive America’s past.” Situated on 200 acres in Grand Island, the Stuhr Museum depicts late 19th-century life on the prairie. The main building introduces visitors to the inspiring story of the men and women who settled the Great Plains, contains two art galleries, a museum shop and an auditorium where visitors can view “Land of the Prairie Pioneer,” a short film that provides an overview of the museum’s attractions. The museum grounds also include the 40-acre Railroad Town, which is a re-created 1880’s prairie town modeled after the communities that developed along the Union Pacific Railroad’s rightsof-way. Complete with 60 shops, homes and buildings, many of which have been moved to the site, restored and decorated with Hereford.org

period furnishings, Railroad Town features a train depot and a bustling business district. Costumed merchants and housewives as well as a blacksmith and a marshal stroll the grounds, relating their stories and memories of life on the plains. Visitors can also tour the railroad and the antique farm machinery and auto exhibits and visit a complex of eight structures (circa 1857-1867) that re-create one of the rural “road ranches” that were built along the pioneer trail to service travelers heading west.

Nature up close The Crane Trust Nature & Visitor Center (located south of I-80 Exit 305) is the place to view cranes up close. While the migration activities peak in March, summer visitors can still learn all about cranes and other natural wonders at the spacious Interpretive Center, which houses exhibits on cranes, waterfowl, endangered species,

prairie grasses, prehistoric wildlife, wetlands and more. The center’s seven miles of hiking trails provide public access to prairie, forest and wetland habitats — there’s even a handicapped accessible footbridge across the Platte River and a 35-foot viewing tower. A large bird feeding station also acquaints visitors with migrating songbirds. For fun shopping and dining options, Grand Island offers the “Merchandise Mile,” located along the Highway 281 corridor. Here you’ll find everything from boutiques to national retailers. The historic downtown district in Grand Island boasts unique shops, antiques and great architecture including a refurbished historic movie theatre and fun dining spots like The Chicken Coop — a combination sports bar and microbrewery.

Take a tour Two unique tours are being planned in conjunction with the Junior National Hereford Expo in Grand Island. Both tours will be offered on Tuesday, July 3. As home to the CNH (Case New Holland) North America Combine Center of Excellence, Grand Island offers the opportunity to tour a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Three distinct models of combines (New Holland CR, Case IH 2300, and Case IH AFX 8010) are manufactured on the same assembly line, making the Grand Island facility the only CNH plant to utilize mixed model production. Modern technology to aid in the processes includes an automotive grade e-coat paint system, laser cells, robotic welders and wireless testing systems. The Grand Island facility has approximately 800 employees and over 800,000 sq. feet of manufacturing space. This tour will be free and will last about two hours. A morning tour will be offered, and an afternoon tour may be added if there is enough interest. The second tour being planned will visit two local wineries and include a gourmet meal over the lunch hour. Moonlight Ridge Vineyard (moonlightridgevineyard.com) is a family-owned business located six miles north of Grand Island. The Miletta Hereford.org

Vista Winery at St. Paul, Neb., is just north of Grand Island and offers a scenic Nebraska view from its patio. Both entities are newcomers to the wine business — within the last decade — and will share their stories and the process to make great wine. A fee for this tour will be charged to cover the cost of lunch and the wine tastings. Nebraskan Jill McMahon, whose family is involved in junior Hereford activities, is coordinating these tour events. For more information, contact her at jill_mcmahon@yahoo.com or 402-771-2388. Visitors can also coordinate tours to these locations on their own.

Additional attractions Visitors to Nebraska might also enjoy visiting the Great Platte River Road Archway at nearby Kearney. The structure was built over Interstate 80 and pays tribute to the pioneers who passed through Nebraska on their way west. The museum also features stories of the building of the railroad and the creation of the first transcontinental road and today’s modern transportation system. And, did you know that Hastings, Neb., was the birthplace of Kool-Aid? You’ll learn more about that and other fascinating facts at the Hastings Museum, which also includes a large domed planetarium and a theatre with a 70-foot-wide screen. HW

Look for JNHE information online Hereford youth looking for information about the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) contests and scholarships can visit JrHereford.org to find rules, entry deadlines and applications. JNHE entry packets, including the spring Advantage newsletter, were mailed to all active National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members in early April. Electronic versions of the

forms are available at JrHereford.org. Youth can also submit entries online at HerefordJuniorNational.com. The final entry deadline is June 1. The early bird deadline is May 1. Paper entries will only be accepted until May 1. JNHE participants must pay $5 to participate in showmanship. All showmanship contestants must pre-enter by June 1 and pay the $5 entry fee.

JNHE updates Juniors, take note of these contest and policy changes for the 2012 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). The Great American CHB Grill-off is going to begin at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, July 3. By moving this time up one hour, juniors will be able to participate in the quiz bowl written test before the grill-off and, hopefully, will be done with the grilloff by the time 3-on-3 basketball begins. Another new rule for the grill-off is that each team member will need to speak in the presentation part of the contest. Another contest that is undergoing change is the Hereford Idol competition. This year Hereford Idol will be split into two age divisions — junior (7-14 as of Jan. 1) and senior (15-21 as of Jan. 1). This change will hopefully encourage more junior-age youth to be involved. Also, if your performance requires sound or music, it must be turned in on a CD with your sign-up sheet by 7 p.m. on Monday, July 2. This requirement will help the contest run more smoothly with minimal sound issues. Porta cool units will not be allowed in the barns or in the tie out areas at the Nebraska State Fairgrounds. The cattle barns at the Nebraska State Fairgrounds

are very well ventilated with adequate ceiling fans in each barn. All cattle will be tied on the panels provided in the tie-out area and no individual pens will be built in tie-outs. We appreciate your cooperation with this and your help ensuring everyone has adequate space in tie-outs. Tents will be allowed in the tie-out area on Sunday, July 1, but must be removed by 10 a.m. on Monday, July 2. No generators will be allowed inside the cattle barns. It is important to note the National Junior Shorthorn Show is taking place prior to the JNHE and will end on Saturday, June 30, late afternoon; therefore, no Hereford cattle will be allowed on the grounds until Sunday, July 1, at noon. You will be allowed to begin stall set-up on Sunday, July 1, at 2 p.m.; however, no cattle will be allowed in the barns until Monday morning, July 2. Be sure to check the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) website, JrHereford.org, as well as the NJHA Facebook page, for any changes or reminders about this year’s JNHE, and be ready to be “Livin’ the Hereford Life” in Nebraska.

Rural Roots, Patriotic Pride A rural Iowa mural painting known as The Freedom Rock pays tribute each Memorial Day and beyond to our nation’s veterans. by Kim Holt

n rural Iowa, just off Hwy. 25, an hour southwest of Des Moines, is a large granite boulder some 60-90 tons in size. In years past, it was known as the town of Greenfield’s “graffiti” rock. However, each of the past 13 years the giant rock has been transformed by one of agriculture’s own into a symbol of freedom and a permanent marker of appreciation for our nation’s veterans. The artist is Adair County, Iowa, native Ray “Bubba” Sorensen II. He combines his lifelong passion for art and painting with that of military history to transform this used-tobe eyesore into what has become known across America — and the globe for that matter — as The Freedom Rock®.

Ray’s roots are rural, tracing back to 4-H, cattle and junior livestock shows. He assures, “I’ve been involved in agriculture all my life.” Over the years, he says his family tried other breeds, but today all have made it back to the whitefaced breed his grandfather, Ray Sorensen I, started with and still has. His parents, Mike and Dixie Sorensen, also own and publish the Livestock Plus, a publication they started when Ray was in high school.

Moved to paint Having been raised in rural America, Ray enjoyed an upbringing that included a great respect for our nation’s military. At the age of 19, he was especially North

Ray Sorensen says he’s “been in love with art” ever since he was young. The painter of The Freedom Rock explains the front of his 2011 mural featured a likeness of Greenfield’s own Lance Corporal C.J. Miller, who was killed in action in 2006 by a roadside bomb in Iraq, and his great Uncle Albert Sorensen, who fought in the Battle of the Bulge. The rock’s east side featured a special tribute to the Navy SEALs for their uncovering of Osama Bin Laden.

moved after seeing the movie Saving Private Ryan — so much he went out and used his talents to paint an inspirational message of thanks to veterans on the town’s graffiti rock. Referring to this movie, he explains, “Those kids storming the beach at Normandy were 17-18 years old and literally spilling their guts for our country. So I thought, ‘I just want to remind people to know what Memorial Day is all about.’ And that was before September 11th — before the re-patriotizing of our country.” That was in 1999, and since then, he’s painted inspiring and patriotic images on the nearly 12-foot-high boulder each May. After that first year, he never intended to paint the rock again, but veterans liked it so much they asked for a repeat performance. Hence, he’s become known as “The Freedom Rock Painter.”

A true memorial

come here who haven’t even talked to their families — they’ve told me they haven’t talked to their families — but feel like they can talk to me and share their stories, share their struggles and what they went through over there, that they’ve never wanted to talk about.” Ray relays that there have been many unique things that have occurred since he started painting The Freedom Rock. “But one thing that stands out in my mind is that I’ve painted the ashes of over 30 Vietnam veterans into the north side of the rock.” Images on the rock’s north side pay tribute to Vietnam veterans. A large helicopter there includes the ashes which, when added to the paint, make differing shades of green (see photo). Ray first painted ashes onto the rock in 2006. While he was re-painting The Freedom Rock that May, some Vietnam veterans stopped by on their way to the wall in D.C. Maria tells, “They had the remains of some fellow Vietnam brothers, and asked if Bubba could sprinkle the ashes at the rock’s base.” He suggested they pour the ashes into his paint — as they’d blow away in the wind. “What an amazing experience that was to watch as Bubba took the ashes, poured them into his green paint and spread them onto The Freedom Rock with his paint brush,” Maria recollects in her blog. “There were definitely some tears gathering in my eyes especially

For the last 13 years, Ray has used the rock canvas to thank each branch of the U.S. military, while memorializing battles and wars from our country’s past. He derives his inspiration from stories of men and women who have served our country, all true and often very close to home for Ray and the Greenfield community of some 2,000 residents, where he and his wife, Maria, reside with their infant daughter, “Indie.” The Sorensens share that The Freedom Rock has taken continued on page 54... on a life of its own. It’s regularly frequented by visitors desiring to see the landmark dedicated to veterans and wanting to hear about the stories painted on the rock and about the painter himself. It’s also become a place of reflection for veterans and for families who’ve lost loved ones to war. In an interview for “The 700 As the Freedom Rock Painter, Ray Sorensen has been featured numerous times on national television, Club,” Ray shared, “There including on “The 700 Club” featured on CBN-TV. This are veterans who have segment was shot in Ray and Maria’s Sorensen Studios. Hereford.org

Last August, the Sorensen family sponsored a steer raised by Claire Solsma of Sanborn, Iowa, for the 29th annual Governor’s Charity Steer Show and Auction at the Iowa State Fair that benefited Ronald McDonald Houses of Iowa. Ray Sorensen, The Freedom Rock Painter, was the celebrity showperson for Solsma’s Hereford that was sponsored and purchased by a group that called themselves “These Progressive Hereford Breeders of Iowa.”

Recent Facebook posts “I have followed this experience for over 10 years now. As a Vet, I am honored that you so beautifully express what many of us feel. Thanks for sharing your work and our experience to the world.” “I just stumbled upon your website, and your artwork on the rock is absolutely amazing. You are a wonderful American and I’m so grateful to you for appreciating the amazing service of men and women who are fighting for us! Keep rockin’!” “Thank you, Ray Sorensen II. I have traveled to The Rock at least five times and your art amazes me. Each time I arrive, someone else stops by and I get to meet another service member. I tell everyone about this work of art and act of your patriotism. Again, THANK YOU!” “Tucked away in rural Iowa is this awesome tribute to our brave members of the United States military…I thank all who are serving or have served to keep our country free.” “I am almost speechless; I am so impressed with this deep feeling work.” HW

as I glanced at the family who was completely silent.” Ray adds, “Every year I get somebody’s ashes in the mail, or a lot of times people will come out on Memorial Day Weekend [to the Rock] and want me to add them then.”

“Rock Season” Now in his 14th year of painting The Freedom Rock, Ray has the logistics of painting this “big undertaking” nearly down pat. “I know what it involves now so it’s not quite the fly-by-the-seat-of-yourpants as when I was younger.” His thought process for the images is a year in the making. But these images are subject to change, dictated by weather, amount of detail and time. The month that leads up to the unveiling of the

“new” version of The Freedom Rock is what’s known as “Rock Season” for the entire Sorensen family. It kicks off the last week in April, when Ray paints over the rock on a nice day in order to have a solid white canvas from which to start. Repainting each year keeps the The Rock fresh, new and people coming back, he says. Throughout May, Ray is often found working late and eating meals on-site, delivered by his wife and mother-in-law. “I’m always done by Memorial Day no matter what,” he says, often painting right up until the day before. On Memorial Day Weekend, you’ll find him and Maria and their extended family, including parents and grandparents, celebrating their holiday at The

Veteran and military outreach Combining their love for art and photography, Ray and Maria Sorensen opened their Sorensen Studios and The Freedom Rock® in 2008. Ray has more than 10 years experience in mural paintings and graphic design and remains engaged in ad design and layout for his family’s Livestock Plus publication. This couple is also engaged in their community and with outreach projects spurred by The Freedom Rock. Military visitors and tour buses frequent the mural and Sorensen Studios, and Ray is often asked to speak, especially on military holidays. Even though it wasn’t his intent, The Freedom Rock has helped get Ray’s name out as an artist too, often while he is assisting veteran and military causes. His artwork has been featured on The Iowa $2 The Freedom Rock Scratch Ticket, which benefited the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund, and was on the cover of the state’s Department of Veteran Affairs booklet. Ray painted a rock for the Iowa Junior Angus Association’s giveaway which benefited the military at last summer’s national junior show, and his artwork was recommended by military men and women for use on Delta Airlines luggage carts for deploying troops. He shares that when Delta provided him with cart specifications, he noticed there was one that was different. He later realized it as the cart used to take deceased military men and women from the plane. Ray remarks, “It was really neat to be a part of that because they were coming home to their final resting place on some of my artwork,” — a fitting tribute to The Freedom Rock painter. HW

Military visitors and tour buses frequent The Freedom Rock. Last summer, Adair County veterans made The Rock one of their destinations on their heritage tractor ride.

Freedom Rock, all greeting visitors and answering questions. On that day, and throughout May, “everybody does their little part to help me out because The Rock has just become a lot bigger than I ever expected,” Ray explains. “It’s kind of taken on a life of its own and now has a supporting cast. I’m just the artist. And I like that — I’d much rather it be about the veterans. It’s this large, strong boulder that stands out there against all the elements and holds up the message.”

The family and future of Freedom Rock The uniqueness of The Freedom Rock and the story of this painter have attracted the attention of national television and print media worldwide. Ray still receives letters, most now digitally instead of handwritten as was the case early on. He and Maria also receive phone calls and Facebook posts (see sidebar, “Recent Facebook posts”), and interview requests help keep The Freedom Rock’s spirit “alive,” he says. Maria, who is a photographer by profession and also a blogger, is the public relations agent for The Freedom Rock, managing phone calls, messages and inquiries. Married to Ray in 2007, she says, “I get to meet so many amazing people from all over the world because of this, so it’s truly a unique experience. All of the people we have met have really become like family to us.” Last fall, Ray and Maria welcomed their daughter, Indie, short for her patriotic name Independence, into The Freedom Rock family. This couple is especially excited about this year’s Rock Season and Memorial Day — it’s Indie’s first experience with her daddy painting The Freedom Rock, his thank you to our nation’s veterans, described by one admirer as “truly an American treasure.” For more information, follow The Freedom Rock on Facebook or visit thefreedomrock.com.

Don was widely known as a livestock judge and was a strong advocate for measurable carcass traits to back up meat animal judging decisions. His decision to select an Angus-Charolais crossbred steer as champion at the International Livestock Exposition in 1969 has often been called a landmark event in the acceptance of Hereford.org

crossbreeding and a change to the modern beef type of today. He was inducted into the American Polled Hereford Association Hall of Merit in 1986.
