Off to Great Places

This time of year is one of my favorites. As the fog, or frost, of winter finally lifts, warm weather and a good Midwestern rain brings about new beginnings — pastures are lush, flowers are up and blooming, and trees are full. It was around this time 10 years ago I was about to embark on my own “new beginning,” graduating high school, leaving home and heading to college. My science teacher that year gave me a graduation gift I didn’t expect, a book by Dr. Seuss titled “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” As I read “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go...,” I began to reflect how I became what society at least considered an adult and ready to meet the challenges of the next step. Of course my family and friends came to mind, teachers and coaches as well, but something I spent so many hours on throughout the years and almost all my summers was my livestock and youth ag programs. Not only did the responsibility of caring for animals grow me as a person, but probably more importantly, it was the additional opportunities

/ May/June 2015

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go...” — Dr. Seuss afforded by youth development programs, outside the showring, that helped to get me off on the right foot. In this issue we are gearing up for the Junior National Hereford Expo in Grand Island, Neb., and the Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention. And I know many youth in 4-H and FFA are preparing for summer fairs and camps. Stepping out of my comfort zone and participating in different contests at the numerous junior nationals I attended, trying a new 4-H project

or volunteering in my community broadened an understanding of myself and the world around me. What better time than now to go out on a limb and try something new? The book goes on to read: “I’m sorry to say so but, sadly, it’s true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you.” “Bangups” and “Hang-ups” are all part of new experiences — sometimes an experience will be great, and sometimes you just consider it a way to learn to be gracious and, hopefully, extend a helpful hand to someone else. Also in this issue you will read about twin sisters who are going “The Extra Mile,” like so many Hereford youth who have taken a leadership role within their family farm. “Getting Her Bred” provides advice on ensuring your Hereford females breed with ease, and as summer is upon us, we’ve also covered keeping pastures healthy for many months of grazing. In addition, we are pleased to announce the Certified Hereford Beef Sire of Distinction program has recognized 1,548 Hereford bulls that excel in improving carcass traits. So, as you are preparing for all the exciting times that summer brings, “You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So...get on your way!” HW

The Importance of Collecting and Submitting Data

As we make final preparations for the release of two additional traits — Heifer Calving Rate (HCR) and Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF) — it is important to understand how these traits are made possible. In 2000 the American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors made a commitment to adopt the most comprehensive performance recording system that is also endorsed by the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) — Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™). Whole Herd TPR has absolutely positioned the AHA to gain back market share in the commercial industry because of the reliability and strength of Hereford expected progeny differences (EPDs). Of course, many other factors have strengthened the program including the introduction of genomics along with the multi-trait genetic evaluation, but it is the commitment to data submission by breeders that has made this program so useful. It is good to remember the very basic rules of Whole Herd TPR and how the data submitted is used in the evaluation. There are only two traits that are mandatory to be a compliant TPR breeder, and those are 1) reproductive status or disposal codes of each cow on inventory and 2) weaning weights or disposal codes on

/ May/June 2015

each calf born. These rules have been in place since the inception of the program. However, for the number of calves recorded by year through the AHA, more than 93% of those calves come with a birth weight (BW). In addition, a calf crop must have all calves accounted for with either a weight or disposal code in order to have them used in the genetic evaluation. There is no biased reporting for any trait in the Whole Herd TPR system. When considering the genetic trend for BW and calving ease (CE) in the Hereford breed, CE is the trait of economic relevance, but BW is a great indicator trait for CE and with so many CE scores being equal, the biggest driver of CE is BW. Hereford breeders who were serving on the AHA Board in 2000 when Whole Herd TPR was implemented need to be commended for changing the course of Hereford genetics and its perception. Because of the time it takes to make generational turns in the cow business, it is truly impressive the amount of progress that has been made during the past 15 years. Of course, the value of continuing to collect phenotypes and incorporating genomics into selection will also add

reliability and strength to the TPR system and ultimately each animal’s EPDs. In 2005 the AHA Board developed the Gold TPR program to recognize breeders who went above the TPR basics. To qualify for the prestigious award, the breeder must submit his or her herd inventory prior to the inventory surcharge deadline and must have, on record at AHA, a complete report of calving ease and reproductive status for each dam on the inventory. A complete set of birth, weaning and yearling weights is also required as well as scrotal measurements for each bull calf with a recorded yearling weight. In addition, Gold TPR Breeders must report ultrasound data on 25% or more of their calf crop. It is the job of the AHA to continue to build and provide the tools that it takes for breeders to make the kind of genetic progress to produce the cattle their customers need. As we continue to add traits to the genetic evaluation, it will be important for breeders to consider the use of profit ($) index values in order to not over emphasize single traits. Continue to collect data and to get it submitted and the Hereford breed will continue to add market share in the commercial industry. HW

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 Jan. 1-Dec. 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 June 1.

New online registry — MyHerd.org MyHerd is a real-time registry system providing members 24/7 access to the majority of AHA record services. Members can register and transfer animals electronically, stay up-todate with Whole Herd TPR requirements with custom to-do

lists and, for the first time, have the ability to view and to pay account balances online. E-mail your AHA member number to MyHerd@hereford.org to sign up for a free MyHerd account.

Records FAQs: Q: Is a birth weight measurement within 24 hours of birth the standard for the Hereford breed? What are the consequences of missing a birth weight? A: Yes, birth weight should be taken within 24 hours of birth. Birth weight is an optional trait, but for any birth weights to be used, you must report all of them. Partial reporting will result in none of the birth weights being used. Q: Is there a way to link my child’s account to my main ranch membership with AHA? I want to be able to register her calves and have them be included in my herd. A: Accounts can be linked by going to Hereford.org and completing the Member Relationship Development Form.

“CHB Bites” is a column designed to keep you in-the-know about Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) program happenings. CHB LLC is celebrating 20 years with a “Farm-to-Fork” series featuring how Herefords become the ultimate eating experience. You can also follow CHB on Facebook at facebook.com/CertifiedHerefordBeef.

Greater Omaha Packing Co. Inc. 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

Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) LLC has a relationship with two quality-conscious beef packing companies. Last month we focused on National Beef Packing Co., and this month we visit with packer partner Greater Omaha Packing Co. Inc. Greater Omaha traces its roots back to 1920. When Herman Cohen left the Army following World War I he took his 100 dollar fortune to the stockyards in Omaha, Neb., and invested in cattle. Herman was soon purchasing cattle and selling beef. He developed a reputation as a man who gave his word and kept it, qualities which helped him grow Greater Omaha through the depression and into the future. In 1945 Cohen’s son-in-law, Pennie Z. Davis, joined the business as a partner and would later go on to become the president of the company. Davis’ son, Henry, joined the company in 1973 and learned the beef business. Fast-forward to the 1990s and things are getting pretty lively for Greater Omaha. In 1992 Henry made a pivotal decision to incorporate valueadded beef and boxed beef, along with the addition of a

distribution company and a global export company. During the late ’90s, Greater Omaha started building. It built a new fabrication plant and a new slaughter facility. Then, it began to add onto current facilities. This expansion culminated in 2013 with completion of a 40,000-squarefoot addition to its processing facility, ensuring Greater Omaha can continue to grow and provide excellent service to its customers. Greater Omaha sales team member and CHB liasion Nick Rausch shares the company’s mission statement, “Our mission is simple. We will produce the finest beef products in a manner that is uncompromising in food safety; respect our customers and suppliers by treating them fairly and honoring every commitment that we make; and provide a proper work environment for everyone at Greater Omaha and maintain an unyielding dedication to the health, safety, and betterment of our employees and their families.” He adds that Greater Omaha’s vision is, “Our products will always be of the highest standard for safety and quality, as we continue to serve our customers in ways that consistently exceed

their expectations.” Both statements point to a company that understands the importance of knowing the consumer. This is especially vital considering that today’s consumer is typically generations removed from the family farm but ever increasingly wants more information on where his food comes from, what inputs go into producing it and how the animal is treated. So just how does Greater Omaha tackle the food-safety issue? Well, head-on of course! The harvesting plant, completed in 2001, is one of the most sophisticated beef processing facilities in the country. The processing department was built with modern bacteria intervention strategies in mind and also with room to accommodate future changes in food handling safety. Greater Omaha uses multiple hurdle concepts combined with twelve separate processes that make each process a proven pathogen intervention program. In food safety, the term “multiple hurdle” refers to a series of multiple low-level interventions that are sequentially ordered or concurrently are found to be more effective at reducing and eliminating microbes than the sum of all the individual processes or “hurdles.” In the packer’s world, it’s the equivalent of washing the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher; ultimately, it makes for a much cleaner and safer product. The partnership with Greater Omaha and CHB traces its roots back to 1999, when Greater Omaha officially became licensed after doing some Hereford.org

custom work with the foundation of CHB cattle. Angelo Fili, executive vice president for Greater Omaha, says CHB is a great product for them. “It has a heritage that is known and respected,” he explains. “It is a pedigreed breed behind a single brand. The fact that the Hereford breed focused on a single brand makes CHB unique in the marketplace. CHB is a breed behind a brand, not just a brand.” Greater Omaha typically harvests around 2,400 cattle a day, five days a week. Weekly, it harvests 1,500-2,000 potential CHB cattle, and around 1,200-1,500 of those ultimately earn the CHB status. What are the requirements to be a CHB product? The criteria are listed in Figure 1, provided by Greater Omaha. In 2014 Greater Omaha helped CHB reach the 50 million lb. mark and ensured that CHB had its best year yet. Providing an adequate supply of highquality Hereford cattle to meet the growing demand for CHB is a promise that must be met. This effort has helped increase Greater Omaha cattle volume by 15.4% identified and 18.2% certified. Greater Omaha boasts of harvesting 2,000 head in one week for the CHB program with the goal of reaching 2,300 per week on a regular basis. Greater Omaha’s growth has complemented the already 4,500 to 5,000 carcasses per week certified through National Beef Packing Co. Greater Omaha is looking to surpass last year’s record, and 2015 is off to a great start. Trey Befort, CHB LLC supply chain manager, adds that Greater Omaha is having another year of positive growth and for fiscal year 2015 has more than 35,000 head of CHB certified. Greater Omaha’s continued growth is going to help CHB LLC reach its goal of 100 million lb. of CHB in the next five years. One way to do that is through increased carcass utilization. “This means utilizing sustainable critical mass volume of the 850 lb. average carcass at a ‘premium’ in order to make a profit,” Fili states. In essence, it is about having a program that sells all 850 lb. at market price or above. “Many brands that have come and gone in the industry sold a few parts of the carcass at a premium, but failed to achieve critical balance Hereford.org

Figure 1: CHB specifications

needed to survive,” Fili says. Greater Omaha is investing in Hereford cattle for the long haul and maximizing carcass utilization makes CHB a more sustainable brand for the future. Greater Omaha’s favorite cut is the ribeye. Plain and simple, there is a yearround market for ribeyes. This cut is well suited for Hereford because the size of the breed is still moderate when compared to other breed sizes, making ribeyes from Herefords ideal for most customer needs. The ribeye is the Hereford item that is in most demand.

In addition, consumers love the tenderness of CHB. Fili adds, “Once customers see the value and embrace the benefits of Hereford beef, they typically become long-term customers. This is in part because once they are sold on CHB, then it is harder for the competition to steal them.” If you are a Hereford breeder interested in learning how you can source your Hereford cattle to Greater Omaha, please reach out to Trey Befort at tbefort@herefordbeef.org or call 816-842-3757. HW

A focus on community service Not only is the partnership with Greater Omaha a benefit to our team, but the company also strives to make a difference in its community, too. We could list all of Greater Omaha’s recognized achievements and accomplishments in its community, but the two most prevalent are education and citizenship. To date, Greater Omaha has provided more than $250,000 in tuition assistance through its annual scholarship program. It also believes in helping its community and has done so by helping more than 200 employees obtain their citizenship. Greater Omaha is a leader in its community; it truly shows it’s a company that is about more than just the bottom line. HW

Thank You, It’s Been the Best I t’s been 1,095 days, three years, or in my case, the blink of an eye. Over the past three years, I have been privileged to serve on the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board. It seems like yesterday Brady and I were running around Grand Island, Neb., looking for khakis and a white dress shirt (which apparently we were supposed to have). Little did we know, our lives were about to change. Shortly after, I was given the opportunity to fly to Michigan to get to know the board a little bit better and to start working on the future of the Hereford breed. Needless to say, this was an amazing trip and really opened my eyes to the opportunities that were about to come into my life. In the following days, I attended my first PRIDE convention and realized

how amazing my peers in the Hereford breed were. It didn’t take long to realize that these kids were soon to become my best friends. This was the first trip that showed me my best friends don’t need to live close by or go to school with me; they can be in a neighboring state or 2,000 miles away. To this day, the kids I met on that trip are the ones I call when I am in the car for 12 hours, which became much more common after I got on the board. Being on the NJHA board has shown me the country. I have had the opportunity to go to Pennsylvania twice, Nevada, Texas, Montana, and, trust me, the list goes on and on. Days in a car start to feel like just a quick trip to see a buddy at a cow show in Oklahoma. I have gone from a kid who loved showing Hereford cattle to now being a Hereford enthusiast who is passionate about the breed and the people in it. When I started showing cattle at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), my good friend Teebz and I drove to Tulsa, Okla., knowing three other people there. Now we have a hard time getting to the washrack without stopping to talk in every aisle. This has shown both of us this isn’t just a breed of cattle; it’s a family of people that will be in our lives forever.

This summer as my time on the board comes to an end, I am very excited to know that my family will be in Grand Island with me. My niece and nephew are planning on doing pre-peewee showmanship, my brothers-in-law want to golf, and my sister and Dad will be betting on who does better in the judging contest. My family is ready to take Grand Island by storm for their first JNHE and my last. Even though my family will be with me my last week on the board, I want to thank my Hereford family for being there with me over the past three years and being so generous to the NJHA. I know my time on the board wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for people like you helping me along the way. The biggest thank-you I would like to give is to Amy Cowan, AHA director of youth activities, and Bailey Clanton, AHA youth activities assistant. Not everyone realizes how much these two do not only for the junior board members but for every junior member in the association. Their lives are dedicated to their jobs, and their work shows when the JNHE gets voted the best Junior National of the Year by Best of the Barns. Thank you again to everyone, and I hope to see you in Grand Island.

that it was a special honor to be on the board, but I was about to find out how special. Listening to Eldon Krebs’ inspiring speech the next day and looking out at the cattle and the people in the stands, I knew that this was an opportunity of a lifetime, and I couldn’t wait for it to start. The last three years serving on the NJHA board have gone by so fast. I have met so many people and made so many friends that will last

y head was in my hands and my body was shaking like crazy. I couldn’t look up when the retiring board members walked off the stage during the JNHE in Grand Island, Neb., for the last time and walked to the new owners of the maroon jackets. When I felt the tap on my shoulder, I instantly started crying tears of joy and relief. What I was feeling was a happiness that only comes once in a while. I knew

me a lifetime. Not only did the rest of the board members become my teammates, they became some of my closest friends. We stayed up way too late, talked way too loud, and I’m sure that Amy Cowan and Bailey Clanton wanted to ring our necks a couple of times, but these memories are ones for the books. A responsibility comes with donning the stylish NJHA board apparel. The juniors and the parents depend on us to help put on the best events in the country, and that’s not something we take lightly. From early meetings in the boardroom to late nights at the expo centers, we have had our share of blood, sweat and tears. But in those times we have had the privilege of meeting some of the best leaders in the country and some outstanding people. When I was approaching my first JNHE as a board member in Kansas City, Mo., I was completely overwhelmed. My father had extreme health issues that summer and things were turned upside

down as my mom and I were trying to get everything around for the trip. I was a nervous wreck, but as the week went on, we received so much help from the board members and other families that I was reminded of how much I love my Hereford family. I will be forever grateful for the words of encouragement and help we received that week. I would also like to thank our advisors who guide us to be not only better leaders but better people. I feel blessed to have them in my life. To the Gobles, McMillans, Copelands and Buchholzs — thank you for taking us in as your “kids” and helping us through these three years. Of course, we wouldn’t be anywhere without our fearless leaders Amy and Bailey. They keep us in line but let us come to our own decisions, and they have helped us to evolve into leaders. And thank you to the breeders, juniors and my Hereford family for putting your trust in me to help lead your industry. The experiences that

I have gained from this opportunity have shaped me into the person I am today. Thank you to my parents and family. While I am off running errands and tending to board duties, you never fail to get things done. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do this without you. Thanks, Mom, for starching my jeans and khakis, and Dad, for the encouraging words when I needed them the most. You are in this just as much as I am, and I am so lucky to have a support system like that. In July I am giving away my jacket to another very deserving junior who will take his turn at leading this great association. This moment will be a bittersweet one for sure. The direction that the Hereford industry is heading is exciting, and I cannot wait. Thank you all for the last three years; they’ve been the best. — Elise Hackett, NJHA communications chair

NHW is Ready for ‘Hereford Nation’ Queen’s Tea — a new tradition Dusty from the barn, Sunday best and donning state sashes are some of the many types of attire that are present at the Queen’s Tea during the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). Each year the National Hereford Queen hosts a growing event for girls of all ages to enjoy some time away from the barn, creating memories and craft projects while interacting with state royalty and the national queen. The event was started in 2011 with past National Hereford Queen Bethany Nolan. The goal of the Queen’s Tea for Nolan and the National Hereford Women (NHW) was to grow interest from a young age for state queen programs. In the last three years, the event has doubled in attendance, with the largest turnout planned for the 2015 JNHE in Grand Island, Neb. A highlight of the event is a drawing for junior princesses to have the opportunity to help the state queens and 2015 National Hereford Queen Katie Nolles in the ring during the show. Girls ages eight to 12 are eligible to participate. This year will also feature a fun photo backdrop for

photos with royalty, desserts and crafts. Plan to be in attendance 1 p.m. Sunday, June 28, in the banquet hall to participate in these events along with a meet-and-greet session for state queen coordinators. Nolles has fond memories of her first Queen’s Tea. “I remember picking out a special dress for my first Queen’s Tea, and looking forward to the event for months,” Nolles said. “Meeting all of the state queens made me feel like a million dollars.” As the JNHE is in Nolles’ home state, she aims to make the event exceptional for those in attendance. “I am working to make my Queen’s Tea a special event for each young lady who joins us and chances are many future National Hereford Queens will be in attendance. I am so excited to welcome you all to my home state.”

NHW at JNHE As “Hereford Nation” converges on south central Nebraska, the NHW is continuing to increase the value that the organization provides to the breed. The 2015 Annual Meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday, June 29, in the Foundation Club. The meeting will feature committee reports from the NHW and discussion of ideas for the future. Andrew Brooks from Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) LLC will provide an

update on advancements within the CHB program. Also at this year’s JNHE, state princesses will be invited to hand out ribbons during the showmanship contests. Following the great success of the 2014 NHW Social, the members of the NHW are excited to announce this year’s social will be 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 2, in the Foundation Club. This year’s event will feature drinks and light hors d’oeuvres along with the sale of the first reproduction print of the Bud Snidow painting which was given to the NHW. The original print was auctioned at the Cowtown Select Sale in Ft. Worth, Texas, earlier this year. The NHW is excited to present this offering to Hereford breeders at the JNHE and to continue the giving legacy of Bud Snidow. The NHW will also be selling the collection of signed and numbered original artist prints by Amanda Raithel, exclusive to the NHW, at the organization’s booth during the week along with several new items. Stay tuned to the NHW Facebook page and website for more information about Hereford-themed items heading to Nebraska. HW Hereford.org

Think About Your Brand, Review Goals Our world is inundated with brands — from the clothes we wear to the vehicles we drive and the food we eat. Most things are purchased with some acknowledgement of the “brand” they represent. Brand marketing is not new to beef producers either. Seedstock producers are keenly aware of their brand and their relationships with customers, so too are most auction barns and feedlots. But in today’s world of “ag advocacy” and the image that agriculture represents to the public, branding is becoming critical for everyone in ag production. Portraying a positive image for public perception and community relations is becoming increasingly important for the future of agriculture. That said, there are some other benefits that can come from putting some time into considering the “brand” you want your farm or ranch to portray. Identifying your brand can help you, your family and your employees really prioritize your values and goals for the business. It may help build your relationship and serve to be an effective employeerecruiting tool or to attract future customers to the products you are raising and marketing.

that help tell the story of your farm or ranch. Do your actions bring forth an image of your “brand” to their mind? For example, a farm or ranch with a well-kept yard and nicely painted fence and buildings would likely help build the brand of a farm that takes good care of things and pays attention to details. As you strive to develop your farm or ranch brand, ag consultant Dean Hefta offers these tips from his marketing column:

More than a logo While many people initially associate a brand with a logo, the essence of branding actually goes much deeper. Developing a brand is about what the farm or ranch stands for and represents — honesty, hard work, service back to the community or industry, and use of leading technology are some examples. To crystallize your brand, answer this series of questions: Who are you? What makes you different? What are you known for? What do you want to be known for? Then, it is your actions that portray that brand image to others,

/ May/June 2015

• Ask yourself and key people involved on the farm: What would we hear if we asked suppliers, landlords, employees, neighbors and people who have just heard of us to describe our farm in one sentence? (Now you know what you believe your brand is.) • Now ask some of those people to describe your farm in one sentence. There may be gaps or blind spots between what you believe and what others believe. Look for patterns among the comments. • Consider your approach as the farm leader in how decisions are made, actions are carried out and values are upheld. A congruent, positive brand requires that you be intentional and proactive in your leadership. • When you’re clear on who you are as a farm, how work gets done and where you are going, take it to the next level by working with a firm to help you with your professional presentation. Then, your logo, letterhead and web presence will consistently communicate your farm’s brand to all who interact with it.

Annual review

Especially in agriculture, the year can often feel like one long string of activity without an opportunity for slowing down. In spite of that, every business, whether its seasons are set by the weather or not, needs to create and utilize an “off-season,” suggests Hefta, who works as an ag business consultant. Everyone needs time to recharge his batteries and refocus his priorities. While every business’s off-season is going to look a little different, Hefta suggests a few common elements.

• Review/learning: Sit down to learn from the things that didn’t turn out so well. Look for ways to make changes in the future in those areas.

• Skill development: Learn a new technology or skill that will be helpful in the future, or seek advisors that have those skills.

• Planning: It can be hard to do long term planning when you’re in the middle of the fire. Use the off-season to step back from day to day operations. Consider where the farm is going and explore different ways to get there.

• Writing new plays: An important role of the leader is scripting the plays for the players in the upcoming season. Take time to plan the details so everyone knows what’s next.

Hefta emphasizes that it is important to schedule your off-season time so one season doesn’t just run into the next. Then, consider which areas, if worked on, would make the biggest difference to your ag business over time. From that, focus your efforts and see what a difference it makes. HW

In today’s fast-paced, 24-7 technological world, it can seem like there is never a “slow season.” Hereford.org

Start Planning Now If the Summer Looks Dry Drought and excess moisture are very frequent concerns in the agricultural community. This year appears to be moving in the direction of dryness. Agricultural producers often experience feelings of uncertainty that are sourced in many day-to-day issues. The biggest uncertainty is the weather. Those operations that push the limit for production will experience greater uncertainty than those that target production to the long-term average. A long-term grazing plan is critical for surviving the beef business. My two-plus decades of experiences at the Dickinson Research Extension Center (DREC) taught me the ability to survive drought is directly dependent on rangeland usage that follows appropriate and correct stocking rates. The other day, while I was visiting with fellow North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension Service livestock specialists, the lack of moisture was a topic of discussion. Generally, people talk about the weather in more of a chit-chat tone. However, this discussion was more than just casual talk to pass the time. Dry weather certainly affects grain and forage crops, which directly affect livestock. After arriving home, I tapped on the drought map tab on the Internet. Through the years, I have regularly visited the drought map at droughtmonitor.unl.edu because drought is not new. In fact, drought and excess moisture are very frequent concerns in the agricultural community. This year appears to be moving in the direction of dryness. The drought map indicates some dryness moving into many parts of the country. Granted, weather can change quickly, but the drought monitor always has a lingering touch of drought somewhere. Also, the lack of moisture tends to spread out until replenishing rains come.

/ May/June 2015

The first point when assessing a pending drought impact is to check your stocking rate with the grazing plan. Ranch operations with effective grazing systems in place are in a position to manage through dry and wet periods without upsetting the focused direction of the operation. Having the correct stocking rate is critical. Like many of the good prediction tools available to cattle producers, the drought map is a product of a working relationship among the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The tool needs to be used and integrated into a cattle operation. The first point when assessing a pending drought impact is to check your stocking rate with the grazing plan. Ranch operations with effective grazing systems are in a position to manage through dry and wet periods without upsetting the direction of the operation. Having the correct stocking rate is critical. The local Natural Resources Conservation Service and the local

NDSU Extension Service office are excellent resources for obtaining the correct stocking rate based on local soil types. As a starter, keep in mind a basic assumption that roughly 30 pounds of dry matter per day is needed for a 1,200-lb. cow, whether she is grazing or being fed out of a haystack. These are rough numbers that have a significant cushion for waste and some carryover. Remember that larger cows need more, while smaller cows need less. Back to the needs of a 1,200-lb. cow: If a producer can only find six months of grazing, then six 1,000-lb. bales are needed to provide a feed base for the nongrazing months. How many acres per cow per month? To answer the question, each producer needs to visit a range specialist familiar with the local landscape to get the correct number of cow-calf pairs grazing at the proper times. For example, producers ranching in conditions similar to the DREC and running 1,200-lb. cows could anticipate a range from lowland, with good range conditions and a stocking rate of 1.43 acres per animal unit month, up to 6.88 acres per animal unit month in pastures that are in fair range condition and dry, according to Lee Manske, DREC range specialist. Typically, DREC upland landscapes that are in good range condition could be stocked at 2.29 acres per animal unit month if the producer is running 1,200-lb. cows, or just less than 14 acres per cow in a very generic sense. Is this going to be a normal year? Not sure, but the conservative part of me is saying letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do some stocking rate checks and potential yield estimates for the hay land to get the bale counts. The effects of dryness can be mediated, but first localize your needs with your range experts to get a plan. Herd maintenance requires feed, management and careful input evaluation for cattlemen to survive. HW

National Junior Hereford Association members Cassie and Krista Allscheid aren’t afraid of a little hard work. And they’re reaping the rewards in countless ways. by Christy Couch Lee

hances are, not many 14-year-old girls can say they are responsible for their family’s cow herd heat detection, cattle show fitting and halter breaking. Even fewer would likely say they not only help with, but also enjoy, assisting their parents in chopping wood, fixing fence and undertaking the many tasks that come with life on the farm. But that’s exactly the case for eighthgraders and twins Cassie and Krista Allscheid. They and their parents, Eric and Cindie, manage their family’s Shingle Oaks Polled Herefords, Waterloo, Ill. The epitome of a family operation, the girls work alongside their parents in every aspect of the operation. Not only does the entire family see the benefits of their involvement, they also have fun while they do it. For these young ladies, going the extra mile is the only option. Hard work is simply what they do.

Family first

Cassie (left, front) and Krista (right, front) Allscheid work alongside their parents, Eric (left, back) and Cindie (right, back) in every aspect of their family Hereford operation. Hereford.org

Shingle Oaks Polled Herefords began when Eric’s parents, Melvin and Jackie Allscheid, purchased their first Hereford cow in the mid‑’70s. Eric showed at local shows as a youth but says their primary focus has always been raising quality Hereford cattle. “Showing is fun, but it’s not our main focus,” he says. “It’s a good experience, but our main goal is to raise quality genetics.” Today, the Allscheids manage about 25 cows — mostly of Boyd Beef Cattle and Star Lake Cattle Ranch genetics — continued on page 38...

...The Extra Mile continued from page 37

with 100 % of breeding done through artificial insemination (AI). “We focus on raising the best cows we can, with great udders and milk production, who also breed back and are very fertile,” Eric says. The Allscheids also flush about three cows a few times a year for embryo transfer (ET) and implant embryos into cooperator herds, purchasing calves back at weaning. Most of their genetics are offered for sale privately and through the Missouri Hereford Association (MHA) Missouri Opportunity Sale and the Heart of America Hereford Association Spring Sale. They also consign some semen and embryos to online sales throughout the year. Plus, the Allscheids have a thriving freezer beef market, and customers often fill a waiting list to purchase sides or quarters of beef. Cassie and Krista select show calves each year from the family’s herd to exhibit as bred-and-owned entries.

“The girls have so much pride, because they’ve been with their show heifers from Day 1,” Eric says. In fact, the twins seem to have been born with a love for Hereford cattle and the farm on which they are being raised.

In their blood “Their first word was ‘daddy.’ Their second word was ‘cow.’ And their third word was ‘mommy,’” Eric says with a laugh. From the moment the girls could walk, they were alongside their dad checking cattle in the pastures and learning the ropes of managing a cattle operation. “I knew once they turned 2, I wouldn’t have my girls anymore — they’d be out with their daddy,” Cindie says. Eric says Cassie and Krista began helping on the operation by filling water troughs when they could barely reach the top of the tanks. As they’ve grown, so have their responsibilities. Eric works as a carpenter, by trade. And Cindie works for an insurance company that insures large construction jobs. Because they work

The Allscheid twins take pride in completing every aspect of fitting their cattle for show day. They have relied on advice and input from their parents, as well as respected breeders in the industry, to hone their skills.

off the farm, these parents have entrusted the twins with many of the day-to-day cattle responsibilities. On any given day, Cassie and Krista are responsible for filling water tanks, cleaning pens and working the show cattle. In addition, the girls help with tattooing, branding, banding bull calves, vaccinating, deworming and dehorning. Perhaps their greatest responsibility is checking heat after school and throughout the summers and weekends. “I breed the cows based 100% on their heat checks,” Eric says. “Not only do they do the heat checks, they also have the cows caught and ready for breeding when I get home from work. We AI every cow on the farm — so I put that much trust in their abilities.” Cassie and Krista also study pedigrees and offer input as Eric makes breeding decisions throughout the year. And, they take the lead at every show the family attends.

Studious showmen The Allscheid girls attend several shows throughout the year, including the Illinois Junior Hereford Preview Show, the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), the county fair, the Missouri State Fair, several preview shows and the American Royal. 2014 brought excitement for the family, as they earned reserve champion cow-calf honors at the 2014 American Royal and were presented the MHA Cow-Calf Pair of the Year award. Cassie and Krista work as a team at each show they attend, and each knows her role and responsibilities. They have attended fitting camps to hone their skills, and the duo works together to fit every animal they exhibit. “I’m the washer, and Krista is the blower,” Cassie says. “When we fit, Krista does the tailhead and back legs, and I do the front legs. For the most part, there’s no arguing.” Rich Hollis, Columbia, Ill., serves as Cassie and Krista’s 4-H club leader. He says their work ethic is impressive. “They see what needs to be done and they do it,” he says. “They don’t argue or fight. They have a passion for their cattle, and it shows.” Eric believes the twins do well at the halter because of their dedication to developing their skills. “If you don’t love it, you won’t do it justice,” he says. “When other kids are Hereford.org

out boating or camping, our girls are out on the wash rack. If your heart isn’t in it, you won’t do your best. They don’t have to show — they want to.”

confidence and experience in the everyday moments.

A little advice

Stepping back Some parents might be a bit hesitant to turn over all fitting responsibilities to their teenage daughters. And Eric admits it’s not always easy to step back and allow the girls to take the lead. “I’m very particular, and I don’t have a lot of patience,” he says with a laugh. “The best way I’ve found to let them do the fitting is to just step back and let them go. The only way they will learn is to let them do it.” Attending larger shows also allows the girls the opportunity to learn from the best in the nation, Eric says. “I encourage them to seek out the advice of others at those shows,” he says. “Sometimes, they’ll listen to someone else better than to their own parents. And we have a lot of good friends who have been more than willing to offer advice and give pointers.” Cassie says attending shows and events is a great way to hone your cattle knowledge and show skills. “Go to as many cattle shows and fitting clinics as you can,” she says. “You can learn so much by attending and paying attention.”

Lessons learned Cassie says raising Herefords has allowed her to learn from her mistakes. “If we make a mistake, and there have been a lot of them, we try to learn from them. We try not to make the same mistake twice, and we try to do better next time,” she says. And, if they don’t place as well as expected, they all see the opportunity for learning and growth, Krista says. “I like to be in the showring and have that competition,” she says. “If I do happen to lose that day, I can be satisfied knowing I’ve lost to what the judge believed was a better animal, and I can learn from it.” Eric says he is proud of the girls for their ability to win, or lose, with grace. “At the 2013 Junior National Hereford Expo in Kansas City, Cassie stood fourth in a class of eight,” he recalls. “With the smile she had on her face as she exited the ring you would have thought she won the whole show. She could have been upset. But Hereford.org

The girls each have their own responsibilities with the cattle. Cassie enjoys the wash rack duties, and Krista loves to run the blower.

she stood in the middle and came out feeling like a winner.” And these parents find joy through their daughters in other ways, too. “We get so many compliments on the girls, about how polite they are or how hard they work,” Eric says. “To us, that’s a bigger win than anything the cattle could do. We tell them all the time, ‘Thank you for being who you are.’” Eric says there’s no one thing that brings him the most pride with his girls — it’s in the everyday moments. “It’s the stuff that happens every day,” he says. “Every day, they help just a bit more. It makes you proud as a dad when your children take on bigger and harder responsibilities. They never say, ‘I don’t want to.’ They just get on their work clothes and load up the truck to help.” Cassie and Krista work side by side every day. And, Cindie says, they often do it without sibling rivalry or bickering. “It’s really wonderful, as a parent, to watch their teamwork,” she says. “The fact that they work together and still want to hang out with each other and their parents at the end of the day? That’s pretty cool.” Hollis says Eric and Cindie should be credited for the high expectations they placed on their daughters. “They have high expectations for Cassie and Krista, and the girls live up to it well,” he says. “I think kids should have high goals for their lives. And that’s what makes these girls different. They have those goals, and they’re not afraid to work hard to achieve them.” The Allscheids say youth and parents in the Hereford industry can gain

Eric believes the girls have such confidence with the cattle because they have been exposed to them from the start. “I recommend not pushing the cattle on your child hard — but just allow the kids to be around the cattle, and allow them to do a bit more as they get older,” he says. Allowing work to be fun, and not just a chore, has been an incentive for the girls to become more involved, too, Eric says. “When it came to work, my dad always tried to incorporate some fun,” he recalls. “So I try to make work fun, too. And I don’t use work as a punishment. Make work fun, and find another way to discipline.” It’s also important to explain the “why” behind the “what” so that children understand the reasoning for the work, Eric says. “We always try to show and explain why we are doing what we’re doing,” he says. “It’s not just because mom and dad say to do it.” Because the girls give their all each day, Eric and Cindie say it’s easy to go the extra mile for their daughters, too. “When you see someone work as hard as our girls do, it makes it easier and more fun to do all of the extra work behind the scenes to make the trips to the JNHE and other shows happen,” Eric says. Krista says nothing could compare to the trust she and Cassie have earned. “I wouldn’t trade a professional fitting job for what Cassie and I do on show day,” Krista says. “We sometimes need a little help getting two animals ready at once, and we don’t have the time to get them ready by ourselves. But we always are involved in the fitting. We have the pride going into the ring, knowing we did the work. I wouldn’t trade that for a professional fitter doing all of the work any day.” And, Hollis says, the rewards for their work will be seen for years to come. “Cassie and Krista are a true example of hard work being rewarded,” he says. “If you do it halfway, that’s what you’ll get. The rewards of hard work might not come instantly — they might pay off five or 10 years down the road. But I’m certain that these girls will see the rewards.” HW

Importance of

Involvement Former junior leaders tell why they are involved in the National Hereford Women. by Bridget Beran

he National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) provides a plethora of opportunities for its members. However, that membership, unfortunately, runs out once members turn 21. While their junior years may be over, their passion for the Hereford breed is far from done. Many women who were youth leaders return to serve the Hereford breed as members and leaders of the National Hereford Women (NHW).

Shellie served as NHW treasurer for four years.

Shellie and her family are actively involved in the cattle business.

/ May/June 2015

Fifth-generation Hereford breeder Shellie Collins, Chattanooga, Okla., dedicated her junior years to serving the breed. Shellie served as the 1999 National Polled Hereford Queen and as a director of the NJHA. Serving as president of the NJHA board in its second year of existence taught Shellie about compromise, patience and leadership. This experience became invaluable when she served on the National Organization of Poll-ettes (NOP) board of directors as it began its merger with the American Hereford Women (AHW). “I had a Poll-ette at the time call me and ask me to be a part of the women’s merger as well,” explains Shellie. “I felt up to the task and was adamant that the merger should take place, so I signed up. I am proud to see where the NHW has come and hope other Hereford women see the importance of the women’s organization.” On the other side of the merger was fellow NHW board member, Becky Spindle, Moriarty, N.M. After several years of serving her state junior organization

in various leadership positions, Becky ran for the American Junior Hereford Association Board, serving from 1993-96 just as the merger was beginning. Because of their previous time working together, Shellie recruited Becky to fill a position on the NHW board, an opportunity that was very important to Becky. “I received a lot of opportunities from the women’s association during my junior years so I felt that it was now my turn to give back to the next generation of Hereford leaders,” Becky says.

Fostering the future Giving back to an association that gave her so much was the same reason Maddee Moore, Pendleton, Ore., decided to join the NHW board. With Hereford roots dating back more than 120 years, Maddee joined the NJHA in junior high and remained involved throughout her high school and college years. “It shaped my life in every way possible,” Maddee says. “From decisions about my career to what my priorities still are, it’s everything. I can’t imagine where my life would be right now if Hereford.org

I hadn’t had the opportunity to really become involved with the Hereford breed. I put my hand in just about anything I could reach as a junior member and now as a NHW member my goal is to make those experiences even better and continue those activities.” The NHW strives to provide juniors with opportunities to advance their skills beyond the showring. Each year at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), juniors compete in 24 contests, several of which NHW members help to put on. From speeches to posters, the NHW encourages juniors to develop lifetime skills. Maddee urges juniors to jump at every opportunity to grow their skills. “These are opportunities that we work to set up for people and provide for our juniors and we want them to take full advantage of them. Individuals can grow so much in the participation of these contests and that’s why we do them,” Maddee says. The queen program also falls under the guidance of the NHW. This is close to the hearts of Shellie, Maddee — who served

Becky and Maddee discuss NHW business during their annual meeting in Kansas City, Mo., last November.

as Oregon Hereford Queen for several years — and Becky — whose daughter Jordan currently serves as the New Mexico Hereford Queen. Training young women to be gracious and well-spoken ambassadors for the Hereford breed and guiding them as they compete for the title of National Hereford Queen is an important job of the NHW. It focuses on providing as many opportunities for NJHA members as possible.

“There are so many opportunities for juniors to find what fits their liking and go for it,” Shellie says. “I am the kind of person who does not like to leave a door unopened. Don’t be afraid to open them up and see what’s on the other side, you never know where this life will take you.” One of the biggest gifts the NHW gives junior members is scholarships. Each year, the NHW, along with the Hereford Youth Foundation of continued on page 52...

America (HYFA), gives $25,000 in scholarships to deserving youth. These scholarships reward juniors for their involvement in the NJHA, FFA and 4-H, as well as their skills and involvement in their community and school. “Everything we do is designed to benefit the juniors. We spend a lot of time fundraising and trying to plan new things at the JNHE,” Becky says. “I hope juniors will become involved in as many experiences as they can so they have a well-rounded experience as a junior — not just the leadership, not just the showing, but to develop skills in all arenas that are provided for them.”

Hereford family While all of these women were raised in the Hereford industry, it was their experience as a junior and adult with the Hereford family that made them stay. Even though Shellie entered the “steer world” after marrying her husband, she knows there’s no better barn than the Hereford barn. She says that she never fears letting her daughters, Cierra and Claire, roam while at a Hereford event, knowing that her Hereford friends will watch after them.

Becky’s daughter Jordan currently serves as the New Mexico Hereford Queen.

/ May/June 2015

“I hope juniors will become involved in as many experiences as they can so they have a well-rounded experience as a junior.” — Becky Spindle “The passion that I have for the Hereford breed and its people runs very deep within me,” Shellie says. “Like so many others I take all facets of our breed’s successes and failures a little personally. I know that the work ethic and drive that I maintain today was engrained in me by my Hereford ancestors and my parents growing up. As a whole, Hereford people are hardworking, honest, and kind people who do not want to do others harm. Hereford people as a whole look out for one another.” Becky agrees, saying that her junior experience gave her friends all across the country and that experience is something she wants for her own daughters, Jordan and Abby. Raised in the business, the Spindle family has had a string of Herefords at the New Mexico State Fair since before the girls were born. Now, Becky encourages her girls to be involved in all aspects of the business, from attending American Hereford Association and NHW annual meetings at the American Royal to participating in contests at the JNHE. “My junior experience taught me to be friendly and confident in myself,” Becky says. “It helped me not be afraid to try new things.”

For Maddee, her junior years were not all that long ago. Finishing up her junior career in 2009, Maddee was encouraged to join the NHW board by Becky. “I was getting ready to move back to the Northwest so it was a good time to transition and it also gave me an opportunity to get back to being involved with the Hereford community,” Maddee says. “We are at such a crucial time with continued growth and seeing expanding numbers in the Hereford youth. That, coupled with still being relatively fresh off of my time as a junior and I can also participate as a professional at the NHW level. This opportunity blends all of my experiences together.” While she doesn’t have children of her own, Maddee has happily taken young Hereford showmen from the Northwest under her wing to help lead them to success. She says she always tries to give them advice and guidance to help them make the most out of their NJHA experience. Joining the NHW provided these great junior leaders with the opportunity to continue their service to their breed. Shellie explains that she knows countless NHW members who have made an impact not just on a national level but also within their states. “It’s really important to us to keep progressing and as the Hereford breed grows we strive to keep finding new ways for kids to be involved,” Maddee says. Maddee adds that the NHW provides a networking opportunity for the women of the Hereford breed, giving NHW members their own areas to contribute and to be involved at a hands-on level for the future of the breed. “It’s important to be involved with the NHW to help provide the same opportunities we were given as kids and to pass the tradition of promoting Hereford breed,” Becky says. “Being a part of the NHW allows us to protect and pass on what was provided for us as junior members.” HW

Up Gearing for

Grand Island Nebraska will host the 2015 JNHE June 27-July 3, 2015. by Kindra Gordon

eartland hospitality will welcome Hereford youth and their families to Grand Island, Neb., June 27 through July 3 for the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). Fonner Park, which annually hosts the Nebraska State Fair, will serve as headquarters for the event. This state-of-the art facility opened in 2010 and has earned acclaim as one of the best livestock show facilities in the country.

While Hereford activities will take center stage for those attending the JNHE, if your schedule allows for a little extra fun with friends, Grand Island won’t disappoint. Start by gaining a little more knowledge about Nebraska agriculture at the Raising Nebraska exhibit located at Fonner Park. Open year-round, this 25,000 square foot exhibit greets visitors with a full-size section of a center irrigation pivot. The exhibit debuted at the 2014 Nebraska State Fair and is designed to teach visitors

about the state’s agriculture industry — from the manufacturing of pivots, tractors and combines to the food that is grown to feed the world. The Agri-House display surprises a lot of people by showcasing the many different products that are a result of agriculture.

Yes, there’s a waterpark Grand Island does have a waterpark, Island Oasis, which offers six acres of fun in the sun. Guests can brave the waves in the 350 thousand-gallon wave pool or

relax and unwind along the 750foot lazy river. For thrill seekers, there are two six-story highspeed 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 is also an area for sand volleyball and 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. The park also offers a gardensize railroad line that circles the park. The Sweet Tooth Shop offers concessions and train souvenirs. Also in Grand Island, Skate Island offers roller skating and mini golf, and the city boasts three bowling alleys and four golf courses.

Trains

Trains and cranes There are two unique attractions that Grand Island is known for — trains and Sandhill cranes. Railroad enthusiasts from around the world trek to Grand Island to observe and photograph the large number of freight trains. An average of 140 trains pass through the city every 24 hours. Grand Island’s trainviewing hotspot is known as The Diamond, where the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe tracks cross over the Union Pacific tracks. The Union Pacific Railroad cuts through the heart of the city along the original transcontinental mainline. The newest locomotives can be seen here, as well as some old steam trains. The Burlington Northern-Santa Fe is predominately a coal-hauler heading to the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. The Boeing Train runs from Wichita, Kan., to Seattle, Wash., hauling fuselages. The city’s 1911 Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Depot remains, known as the Burlington Station. Saved and renovated by the Hall County Historical Society, it now serves as a reception Hereford.org

Get to know history You’ll step back in time at the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer, 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 and 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 rights-of-way. Complete with 60

shops, homes and buildings, many of which have been moved to the site, restored and decorated with 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 railroad, antique farm machinery and auto exhibits. For dining and shopping, 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. For more information about Grand Island, visit its convention and visitors bureau at visitgrandisland.com. HW

Stuhr Museum

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. The center also offers a butterfly garden and a small herd of bison, and inside you’ll find an art gallery, static wildlife displays and a gift shop.

What’s New at the

2015 JNHE Contest and scholarship updates.

JUNE 27- JULY 3, 2015 GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA

he Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) is around the corner, and Hereford youth looking for the latest information on 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 and the early bird deadline is May 1. Paper entries will only be accepted until May 1.

New-comer orientation Youth who are new to JNHE are invited to attend the new-comer’s orientation and luncheon, hosted by the NJHA board, at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, June 27, in the Quilt Room in the Pinnacle State Bank Expo Hall. State advisors are also invited to attend. All ages are encouraged to attend to learn about what JNHE offers and how to make the best of their week in Grand Island, Neb. Following the informational portion of the orientation, there will be a scavenger hunt around the barn for those interested. Attendees will get to have some face-time with those individuals who are involved in helping make JNHE possible. The scavenger hunt provides an opportunity for youth to meet people from different states and learn their way around the JNHE grounds. It’s important for new-comers to get to know their state advisors and the NJHA board of directors. This meeting will introduce attendees to their advisor, allow them to discuss what contests they plan to participate in and meet some of the junior board members in person who will be great resources and a friendly face for anything they may need throughout the week in Grand Island. At the conclusion of the orientation and luncheon will be the state advisor meeting The NJHA board and staff look forward to meeting and getting to know all of the new members.

Individual sales Individuals must register with their advisors; advisors must turn in their

/ May/June 2015

state sign-up sheets by the contest signup deadline. Senior and intermediate contestants will be required to incorporate some form of graphic design and computer technology to design marketing materials that will supplement their presentation in the sale of their agricultural product. This may include flyers, brochures, ads, etc. This was added due to the Creative Design Contest being eliminated.

Team marketing is now team sales This contest has been changed to keep up with the evolving world of technology and sales. The main objective of team sales is to give juniors a glimpse at a real-life situation of selling while promoting the importance of marketing technique, communication and creative design skills. The contest will be held in conjunction with the JNHE. While many of the rules are the same as what team marketing was, participants are encouraged to read them carefully. The main changes are: Each state may enter one peewee team (7-9 years old as of Jan. 1) one junior team (10-13 years old as of Jan. 1) and one intermediate team (14-17 years old as of Jan. 1) each consisting of two or three team members. Mixed aged teams may compete, but they will be entered in the age division of the oldest team member. Animals are not allowed in this contest, however, participants may use visual aids such as iPads, tablets, binders, among others with information pertaining to the item being sold.

Hereford.org

No posters or dry erase boards may be used during the presentation. Teams may present any item that is related to agriculture i.e.: an animal, semen, embryo packages, etc. Intermediate teams are responsible for using computer technology to design materials that will supplement its presentation. This can include flyers, brochures, ads, etc.

Sullivan Supply/Stock Show University showmanship contest Contestants are judged on appearance and showmanship ability except for the final round of the senior division, where animal grooming is also evaluated. Divisions are pre-peewee, peewee, junior, intermediate and senior. Youth do not have to show their own animal except for peewees, who must show their own or one owned by an immediate family member. The animals exhibited in the contest must be entered in the JNHE. There is a $5 entry fee and all contestants must pre-enter by June 1. The top 10 senior showmanship finalists will be judged by both the showmanship judge(s) as well as the current American Hereford Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Herdsman of the Year, who was chosen at Denver. They will use a scoring system, which consists of 60% based on showmanship skills and knowledge and 40% based on fitting skills. Senior finalists will be given 45 minutes to fit their animals.

Pre-peewee showmanship Pre-peewees must now enter by June 1 at JrHereford.org and there is a $5 entry fee. Exhibitors must use an animal that is entered in the current JNHE.

Great American CHB Grill-off Hereford chefs of all ages should bring their imaginations, aprons, Certified Hereford BeefÂŽ (CHB) recipes and creativity for food preparation to the Great American

State tailgate

JNHE participants are invited to the first-ever Hereford Nation State Tailgate party following the opening ceremonies and during the 3-on-3 basketball tournament Sunday, June 28. What a better way to spend time with your Hereford family than with an all-state cookout? The NJHA board invites all state junior organizations to help host this event. Interested states are asked to bring a popup tent with their favorite sports team and prepare something unique to be offered at the tailgate. Snack-sized serving portions are encouraged and in a quantity enough to serve 500 people. The event will be hosted in front of the swine barn, which is easy access from where the cattle will be stalled and where the basketball tournament will be going on. There will be a preparation area with electricity available to all states on Sunday. States may consider teaming up with a neighboring state or two. Some tailgate food ideas may include, but certainly arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t limited to: walking tacos, sliders, chips and salsa, cheese, brats, mini hotdogs, corn on the cob, dessert items and much more. For planning purposes, the NJHA board would like to get an idea of the number of states and recipes ahead of time. State advisors should fill out the Hereford Nation State Tailgate entry form at JrHereford.org and send an email to acowan@hereford.org or bclanton@hereford.org if their state plans to participate in the first-ever Hereford tailgate. The entry deadline for participation is June 15. Not only do participants get to show off their state pride, but states will get the chance to compete for most creative tailgate tent and best recipe.

Plan to Attend 2015 PRIDE It's great looking forward to the best week of the summer. The Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) is the highlight for many; not only is the week of JNHE full of different contests and showing cattle, but the friendships made that last a lifetime. However, the Faces of Leadership event after the JNHE every year is worth looking forward to, as well. The Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel, also known as PRIDE Convention, focuses mainly on leadership development. During the three-day event participants ranging from 14-22 years old come from all over the country to listen to different speakers while participating in workshops, college visits and fun activities. This conference has been hosted at many land-grant universities across the nation; ranging from Michigan, Washington, D.C., to Idaho and all the way to Texas. Last summer, members of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA), along with the American Junior Maine-Anjou Association (AJMAA) and American Junior Shorthorn Association traveled to Arkansas for the 2014 Faces of Leadership conference. Juniors not only got to visit Tyson Foods, the University of Arkansas, and a show boat, but they also had the opportunity to tour different cattle operations and learn from those producers. This summer the junior members are headed to the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colo. While staying in the beautiful mountains, youth will participate in fun team building activities such as white water rafting, get competitive at the outdoor recreation facility and hear from speakers such as Rhett Laubach. During the stay participants will visit Colorado State University and tour its agricultural department and facilities. The NJHA and AJMAA boards are excited about this year’s Faces of Leadership conference, and hope to see you all July 25-28 in the mountains. Don’t miss the early bird — June 15 — deadline and save $100 for this once in a lifetime opportunity. HW

Advice for ensuring your females breed with ease. by Christy Couch Lee

Getting

Her Bred 66

/ May/June 2015

h, if only there was a magic wand to ensure a female — whether a first-calf heifer or a mature cow — would breed on the first try, every time. Alas, there is not. “Successful breeding is a combination of things done way ahead of breeding season, and things done at the moment of inseminating a female,” says Max Stotz, GKB Cattle, Waxahachie, Texas. “But there is no magic key. It’s simply a combination of many things that I’ve found over the years to be helpful in accomplishing the goal.” Through trial and error and decades in the business, Stotz; Marty Lueck, Journagan Ranch/ Missouri State University (MSU), Springfield, Mo.; and Kyle Gillooly, CES Polled Herefords, Wadley, Ga., say they’ve discovered what works for their operations and for their regions of the country. Stotz has been involved in the Hereford industry since childhood. After graduating from The Ohio State University, he began working for Ace Cattle Co., which became Star Lake Cattle Ranch. Last year, he began managing the cow herd at GKB. For 32 years, Lueck has overseen Journagan’s 3,300 acres and 480 purebred and 150 commercial cows with four employees. Each year, the operation hosts an annual sale and markets up to 100 bulls through the sale and private treaty. Gillooly was raised in the Hereford and Angus business in Indiana. He met his wife, Jennifer, while showing Herefords, and when they were married in 2006, he began managing her grandfather’s cattle operation. Hereford.org

Currently, the CES herd consists of 200 Hereford cows, 150 Angus cows and 600 commercial females. They are typically 60% fall calving and 40% early spring calving. These men say nutrition, vaccination, handling and bull quality all factor into a successful breeding program.

Necessary nutrition Lueck says by April they are preparing for breeding with a strong focus on nutrition. “Our idea of nutrition is to make sure they’re on a gaining plane,” he says. “We maintain a mineral program year round, and by April, the grass is hopefully coming.” A post-calving body score of 4.5 to 5.5 is ideal, Lueck says. “This allows for enough backfat to help make the reproductive transition,” he says. Heifers at CES begin grain supplementation at weaning, which continues through breeding, Gillooly says. “Depending on the time of year, we also rely on winter grain — rye,” he says. “We try to balance it out in the fall with grain through breeding. We typically move to rye after we get them bred.” All three men agree — mineral supplementation is critical. And not just any mineral will do, Lueck says.

“Successful breeding is a combination of things done way ahead of breeding season, and things done at the moment of inseminating a female. But there is no magic key.” — Max Stotz “Our mineral is custom made,” he says. “We did tests on our forages to determine what we lacked. Soil tests can also help you determine what is lacking — maybe it’s copper, zinc or selenium. We think mineral is important and feed it year round.” Stotz says finding a good mineral program can take some time and patience. “We’ve gone three or four routes and always come back to the same one,” he says. “Find something that works for you, and something you can afford.” Gillooly says mineral supplementation should never be underestimated. “Minerals are a key issue,” he says. “Sometimes, I wonder if people know just how important mineral supplementation is. They get tied up with things, and forget to make sure minerals are on site year round. Not just for first-calf heifers, but for females getting bred back, as well.”

Gillooly begins grazing cattle on rye from December through early April. He also has conducted testing on his ground to ensure he supplements only what is needed — and nothing more. “Depending on the environment and region of the country, selenium should be supplemented,” he says. “However, in our area, we can get too much selenium with the grasses grazed, causing toxicity and breeding problems. We’ve known producers who supplemented with high-selenium mineral, and they dealt with deaths and sicknesses. It’s important for producers to know the minerals they need.” A strong vaccination and health program is also essential. Stotz recommends establishing a relationship with a veterinarian who can help develop a health protocol for your herd. “You want to be sure the cattle are vaccinated against IBR/BVD/ PI3/BRSV, leptospirosis 5-way and continued on page 68...

“Minerals are a key issue. Sometimes, I wonder if people know just how important mineral supplementation is.” — Kyle Gillooly vibriosis,” he says. “You also need a good worming protocol, and this all should be done 30 days before breeding season. Timely applications of vaccines and breeding go hand in hand.” Once a nutrition and vaccination program is established, determining the best breeding protocol for your operation is key to successful breeding.

Proper protocols At Journagan Ranch/MSU, Lueck says, timed breeding protocols are used. All heifers are bred via artificial insemination (AI) twice, and, sometimes, cows are bred twice, too.

At nine days after timed AI, CIDR®s (controlled internal drug release) are reinserted. CIDRs are left in for seven days, at which point they are pulled. “We visually watch those cattle and breed what comes in off natural heat,” Lueck says. “Most will come back into heat within a twoto five-day period. We end up with 80 to 90% being bred.” When possible, Gillooly says, natural heats typically result in better breeding results on his operation. He has increased conception rates by 10%, simply by watching cows for three weeks straight and breeding naturally, before programming begins in the fall. “We try to breed off natural heats,” he says. “Mother Nature’s heat cycle is better than any manmade heat cycle, from what I’ve seen.” However, breeding protocols also are greatly dependent on the amount of labor available on the operation, Gillooly says. “We aren’t ‘over-employed’ on our operation, so for those not bred on natural heats, we typically do a

seven-day CIDR program in groups of 40-50,” he says. And, Gillooly says, the program to choose is the one that works for you. “We have used different protocols, and it all goes back to what works,” he says. “I am straight heat breeding, because I didn’t have a lot of success with timed breeding in our part of the country. But that’s not the case for everyone.” What works well at one operation may not work well at another. As well, what works for a mature cow may not work for a first-calf heifer when it comes to breeding.

The cow versus the heifer Lueck says his operation keeps first-calf heifers and mature cows separate. “It’s not that we’ll pamper them,” he explains. “But we can take them into a drought, if necessary, and get them on a bit better plane of nutrition. The mature cows should be tough enough to be able to breed back.” In the past, Lueck says, he often supplemented 6 to 7 lb. of grain to heifers per day. Today, that has dropped to 2 to 3 lb. “After that process, we have more 2 year olds breeding back,” he says. “They may not look as pretty, but they get enough. And we have a 93-94% pregnancy rate, which is way above the national average for first-time heifers.” Stotz says many producers try to breed first-calf heifers to calve 30 days before mature cows begin to allow for extra attention to be given to those heifers. Although he doesn’t practice that theory, he does recommend separating 2 year olds from mature cows. “Grouping 2 year olds and harder-doing cows together can be good,” he says. “Sometimes, they need a little extra nutrition and energy, more than the mature cows.” The same is true at GKB, Stotz says. Mature cows are kept on grass, while first-calf heifers are separated to be given extra attention, if needed. Hereford.org

“Younger cattle who may be thinner or harder doing will be supplemented with grain to keep body condition up,” he says. “We like to see the females in a gaining state during the breeding process.” In addition to proper care and attention, Stotz says, facilities are also important for breeding success.

Cool and collected “Keeping the facility as dark as possible, out of sunlight, can be beneficial,” he explains. “Set up your facility in a way that cattle are handled with ease. If a cow gets worked up, her body temperature rises, and a high body temperature can kill semen. If you do have a cow get worked up, it’s best to let her stand for a half hour to an hour, in order for her body temperature to drop again.” Gillooly says hot weather days can also cause difficulty in breeding. “If we’re still in a warming pattern in the fall, I will wait for the

temperature to come down before I go in with a straw of semen and expect it to work,” he says. “Last year, we didn’t make it to Denver. We had lined up fall-calving cows for breeding in January. The week we pulled CIDRs, the weather turned 75 and 80 degrees — it increased 20 degrees in a matter of days. Cows were hot and coming into heat, and it’s the worst conception rate we’ve had since I’ve been in Georgia.” Because of the fluctuations of temperature during winter months in the south, Gillooly says, CES typically avoids breeding during months of vast temperature swings. “So many times in Georgia, the temperature can be so up and down from December to February — and it’s tough on conception rates,” he says. “By the time April comes around, the temperature is back in the mid-70s and 80s, and the cows adapt and get bred back more easily.”

When the timing is right for breeding, proper heat detection is needed — a skill more critical than some might imagine.

Honing in on heat Stotz says heat detection can be a great challenge in breeding, primarily for the time that can be involved. “Many people have another job, and they don’t have the time to sit and watch their females several times a day — especially to watch several groups for 20 or 30 minutes each time,” he says. “Checking heat early in the morning and evening can be ideal. Many times, I check three times a day.” Heat detection aids can be beneficial for those short on time, Stotz says. “Paint and heat patches can work well — and you can get as advanced as a heat watch system,” he says. “I want to see them stand, visually. But

Top tips from the experts Marty Lueck, Journagan Ranch/Missouri State University (MSU), Springfield, Mo.; Max Stotz, GKB Cattle, Waxahachie, Texas; and Kyle Gillooly, CES Polled Herefords, Wadley, Ga., say many factors weigh into successful breeding. Here are a few of their top tips. 1) Know your vaccines. “I often ask our company representatives about new products coming out,” Lueck says. “I tell them my problems, and see if they have something that can help.” 2) Use technology. “Google can be a great tool for technologically savvy breeders to begin research for problems they may be having,” Lueck says. “Sometimes, a search can lead to a person who can share information and wisdom. As well, how-to videos can be greatly beneficial for breeders who are just starting out.” 3) Be patient. “Sometimes, it’s difficult for new breeders to be patient,” Lueck says. “But patience is a great attribute in the cattle business. To be able to understand the business, it takes time. There are no shortcuts to building a program.” 4) Hone in on heat. “Proper heat detection is a big issue,” Stotz says. “People are so busy these days, they don’t have time to sit and watch groups for 20-30 minutes several times a day. But the more time spent in the heat detection process, the better your success rate will be.” 5) Time it right. Stotz says once heat is detected, breeding timing is essential. “You don’t want to breed too early, and Hereford.org

you don’t want to breed too late,” he says. “The rule of thumb is 12 hours. Ideally, you can pinpoint the time of the first mount and breed 12 hours later.” Gillooly agrees, saying that, sometimes, up to 18 hours after standing heat can provide great success. It’s a matter of determining what works best in your herd. “Sometimes, at 18 hours, the body temperature is a bit lower and the reproductive tract is easier to get a gun through,” he says. “The main thing is to watch heats closely and breed accordingly.” 6) When in doubt, double up. “If you have a problem cow or you’re just not sure of the exact timing, go ahead and breed her at night and again in the morning,” Stotz says. “Semen is pretty cheap when it’s all said and done — especially considering missing a heat cycle costs you money, too.” 7) Know before you go. When bringing cattle into a different environment than that in which they’re raised, it’s important to understand the adaptation needed, Gillooly says. “You must understand the environment in which they’re raised, and where they’re going,” he says. “When cattle go into a new environment with different grasses, you must be aware of what issues those cattle might go through during the change — some of which could affect conception rates.” HW

...Getting Her Bred continued from page 69

“It’s important to have a good bull, and to check him prior to turnout.” — Marty Lueck there will be times I check at 7 in the evening and in the morning — but a female may only be in heat for three hours in the morning, and I miss it. A tool or aid doesn’t replace, but it does assist.” Proper protocols and techniques are essential. However, these men say a producer simply can’t overlook the basics of getting females bred — the bull and semen.

Back to the bull Lueck says bulls are critical to the success of any breeding program. “It’s important to have a good bull, and to check him prior to turnout,” he says. Stotz agrees: Monitoring your bull is often underestimated. “Sometimes, guys turn out a bull and kind of forget him,” he says. “But he needs to be monitored for health and lameness. If he starts limping, that must be taken care of right away.” Maintaining proper condition and not overworking bulls are also important, Gillooly says. “We don’t overwork bulls,” he says. “Bulls are on commercial females

for three months of the year. We then put them on a grain diet to give them a break for four to five months, to get back to condition.” Gillooly says CES AIs approximately 75% of its cow herd and flushes 10-15 donor cows several times a year for embryo transfer (ET). Although he is a believer in both ET and AI, Gillooly says the bull herd should never take a backseat in quality. “Even if you use AI and ET, your program should still produce bulls equivalent to those used in AI,” he says. “We not only produce bulls for commercial breeders, but also for ourselves.” And, Gillooly says, if a bull isn’t performing as well as hoped for a producer, an investment in a betterperforming bull can be beneficial. “Sometimes, you get what you pay for,” he says. “If you’re in business to make money, it can be wise to put money where calves will be most affected. If you’re going to use top bulls in your AI program, you might as well have a backup with a bull that has a strong pedigree and proven numbers that can give you the calves you desire.” More producers are purchasing bulls as yearlings, rather than at 18 months or 2 years of age. And this change has also added new challenges to the mix, Stotz says. “You need to make sure those young bulls know what they’re doing when you turn them out,” he says. “You need to monitor any bull — especially a yearling — for the first three or four days to a week. Make sure if a cow is in heat, he’s getting the job done. You can’t afford to wait 60-90 days to find out all of the cows are open.” Semen handling can also play a critical role in success during breeding. When purchased from bull studs, semen is supposed to meet minimum standards, Stotz says.

“The least amount of time the semen is handled or exposed to air, the better,” Stotz says. “From the stud to the neighbor’s tank to your tank to breeding a cow — all of those times, the semen is exposed to normal temperature. And if that’s done four or five times, the semen will begin to be damaged.” These men will tell you, they have often learned their greatest lessons through finding out what does not work. They say mistakes are simply part of the growing experience.

Areas for improvement Stotz says the biggest mistakes he sees producers make are not following a proper vaccination program or not having their cows in proper condition for breeding. The latter can go either way, with them being either too fat or too thin. “Typically, when someone comes to me saying they can’t get their cow bred, I start asking questions,” he says. “Most of the time, the female is too fat, or the nutrition isn’t adequate to get the blood levels where they need to be. If a female gets bred but passes, it can be due to vaccination. Many times, they bring the females to us, and we can get them bred in 60 days. And it’s often by an adjustment to one of those three things.” Lueck recommends new producers find a mentor in the industry — one who has found success with his breeding program. “We all make mistakes,” he says. “The thing about mistakes — if you learn from them, they can be the best-learned experiences. A mentor in the industry can help prevent you from stumbling too much. Find someone who will visit with you about nutrition, breeding and genetics.” No, there’s no magic wand to ensure breeding success. But by applying these tips and theories to your operation, perhaps breeding will be a bit less stressful and a bit more successful, too. HW

Don’t forget the bull. Be sure to check your bull battery before turn-out time.

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.

Economics

Meeting the Demand Hereford breeders can work today to meet consumer demands in the future. by Julie White

he buzz in the beef industry heard across the country is what a great time it is to be in the cattle business. And, maybe, an underlying question goes with the excitement. How long will cattlemen reap the benefits of this thrilling time? “We are in a unique time in this industry, where, let’s face it, it’s never been any better,” CattleFax CEO Randy Blach said at the Hereford Genetic Summit last September. Blach gave insight about what the markets are doing and major changes to come. Blach went on to say cattle prices will not rise much higher. “They

don’t need to,” he said. “But we will enjoy calf prices on top of $2 for some time.” With cattlemen responding to market demand and expanding the national cow herd, Blach said he expects a million head increase by January 2016. He said this likely increase has led to questions about profit suitability moving forward. “We can go from 29 million beef cows to 32 million beef cows and still remain a very profitable industry,” he said. “As long as we grow demand for our product.” Blach said demand must continue to grow at least 1% a day, and then, even with adding more cows back

Economist shares 8 trends to watch in 2015 by Kindra Gordon Livestock economist Glynn Tonsor says he has a bullish outlook for the livestock industry over the next few years. A faculty member in the economics department at Kansas State University, Tonsor’s optimism is being fueled by feed costs coming down and pasture and forage conditions improving. Specifically, what will Tonsor be watching as 2015 unfolds? He recently shared his thoughts at the American Farm Bureau Federation annual convention in San Diego. 1) It will likely be the first quarter of 2016 before the industry sees a slight increase in beef production. With cow herd expansion just now occurring, it is simply going to take that long before we start seeing more beef in the pipeline. 2) Poultry’s been expanding since 2014 and that will continue — which leads Tonsor to predict: “We have a lot of chicken coming at us in 2015.”

3) He says pork production is also expanding, and we will see more pork in the marketplace in 2015 as well. However, because of the viruses that have impacted the hog industry, Tonsor says it is harder to predict just how much pork will be produced. He explains, “The breeding herd is expanding; what we don’t know is how many pigs will be saved per litter to result in number of hogs marketed.” 4) As a result of pork and poultry’s expansion, and beef’s lagtime to catch up, Tonsor says beef’s market share will likely go down in 2015. He also shares an interesting statistic. According to USDA long-term projections, 2018 is the first year that USDA is projecting a per capita increase in consumption of beef. For 2015, per capita beef consumption stands at 46.6 pounds. In 2018, it should increase to 49.1. Conversely, pork and poultry consumption will all see increases in 2015.

into the herd, he estimates cowcalf producers would still make approximately $250 a head.

Hereford’s role Blach reminds Hereford breeders they are not in the cattle business, but in the protein business — the beef business. “That’s the end game. If we look at it that way, we would get where we need to be a lot quicker.” An opportunity for Hereford, he said, is to consider quality grade. Mike Mitchem, Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) LLC director of food service sales, works with sales representatives from restaurants across the county. “In foodservice, the key thing when it comes to beef is portion size,” he said. “We know they’re paying more and consumers are paying for it if the eating experience is good. The great thing about our specifications of CHB is it warrants well to cut down to smaller portions because our yields are higher.” Another top priority for food service distributors is carcass quality. “Especially when it comes to quality grade, they are looking for those higher-quality grade-type animals,” Mitchem said. “Hereford does offer that. I get quite a few

requests for Choice grade. Their customers are paying more so they want to ensure their eating experience is remarkable so they will come back.” Mitchem said that when it comes to carcass quality, CHB offers several brand options, which allow CHB LLC to access a higher-spending customer base. At Sysco Los Angeles Inc., Mitchem said management is looking into carrying a two-tier system — CHB Choice and CHB Select. “Choice will go to fast-casual up to finedining,” he said. “Select will be mostly for Hispanic cuisine as this market enjoys the leaner beef with less marbling.” Dale Micheli, past CHB LLC president and Hereford breeder from Ft. Bridger, Wyo., says he’s always been a believer in Hereford beef. “We, as breeders, need to make marbling a priority,” he says. “Quality is very important right now to the consumer. Before I thought it doesn’t matter — we have Choice cattle and Select cattle. It’s a hard sell right now in the current market to move Select cattle. We have to do a better job of getting cattle to grade Choice.” Micheli said Herefords offer 60-65% Choice cattle while other

5) Regarding beef demand, Tonsor says the tight supplies have resulted in strong demand, and consumers have been willing to pay more for beef. The question remains: Can that demand continue in spite of increasing beef prices? Tonsor says the improvement in the U.S. economy, along with lower fuel prices and increase in wages will help consumers have a little extra cash to spend — “this is a bullish thing for domestic beef demand,” he states. 6) For 2015, Tonsor says beef herd expansion is occurring. But that has some repercussions. Namely, it will mean less cattle being slaughtered, so there will actually be less beef supply in 2015 compared to 2014. Tonsor predicts the tight beef supply situation will carry through 2016. Tight supplies will also translate to continued record calf prices and cow-calf returns. He cites data that projects 2015 prices for 500-600 lb. calves at $274 to 281/cwt. As well, average cow-calf returns will be over $500 for many producers. That said, he notes that

breeds are at 80%. “That’s a 20% disadvantage that we cannot afford. I think the great thing for us, as a Hereford breed, is we have the tools now to fix that. We don’t have to one-trait select, but look what we’ve done with birth weight and ribeye. We’ve made huge strides. In my opinion we have to get our cattle to grade an additional 20% Choice.” Dale Venhuizen, Manhattan, Mont., and a current CHB LLC board member, agrees. “We need more marbling in our cattle as a general rule,” he said. “We certainly have cattle out there now that perform very well from a marbling standpoint. But I also think that we can take our current population of Hereford cattle and Hereford-cross cattle and fit very well into the markets that Mitchem was talking about.” He adds that the packers CHB LLC works with and the CHB LLC sales team are doing a good job of moving product. “Even though we do need a stronger breed push for marbling, I do think we can sell our product, and we are selling our product very well…and we’ve done that for years which has been a big boom for us as producers.” HW

above average range and pasture conditions will be required for feasible beef herd expansion to continue. He also cautions that with rising costs, breakevens are higher and producers must be mindful of return on investment. 7) With regard to herd expansion, how big might the U.S. cow herd inventory get? The current inventory is 29 million cows. USDA projects that 10 years from now, in 2024, we’ll be at 33.7 million cows, which is a 16% increase from 2014, Tonsor reports. 8) While it is an exciting time for the meat and livestock sectors, Tonsor says producers should remain cognizant of their business and be open to adapting as necessary. He states, “It’s not your father’s world anymore. Know and leverage your comparative advantage as you consider expansion.” HW

CHB Sires

1,548 Bulls Recognized as CHB Sires of Distinction The Certified Hereford Beef Sire of Distinction (CHBS) program recognizes Hereford bulls that have excelled in carcass traits. The American Hereford Association Board of Directors initiated this program in August 2007. To qualify as a CHBS, a bull must:

1) Be in the top 25% for the CHB$ profit index.

CHB Sires

2) Have a minimum accuracy level of 30% for both ribeye area (REA) and marbling (MARB) expected progeny difference (EPD). The CHBS distinction is used to recognize sires in the Hereford breed that excel in improving carcass traits. Although all bulls have the opportunity, only a few bulls will be recognized. A bull receiving the CHBS status will be recognized with CHB after his name when doing an animal or EPD inquiry on Hereford.org.

taken numerous courses on over the past decade. Today, Dennis says he lives by the principle, “If you look after the land, it will look after you.” And he adds, “The nation [or producer] that destroys its soil, destroys itself.” That said, here’s the list of lessons gleaned from Dennis and other grazing enthusiasts based on their own trial and error.

Strive for soil health To improve soil health — and future forage productivity — Dennis is a firm believer in using high-stock densities for a short duration. He utilizes mob grazing, bale grazing and massage grazing, in which animal impact and herd effect are utilized to thicken range and pasture stands, increase plant diversity, and increase forage production. Regarding these high stock density strategies, Dennis says, “When I leave

a paddock, I want every square inch to have a footprint. Then I allow adequate recovery time for that area.” He reports that with this change in management, he has increased his land’s carrying capacity by 300%. But he cautions that ample recovery time to allow the plants to regrow and reproduce seed is essential before the plant is grazed again. “If a plant is regrazed before it is fully recovered, its future growth will be reduced or the plant may die.” Dennis admits to learning this lesson the hard way. He says in the late ’80s he was using rotational grazing — but he wasn’t allowing enough recovery time for the plants. Now, he may mob graze an area and not return to it until the following year. For those naysayers who think Dennis’s forage management style won’t work on their ranches, he points out that he is in a region that receives

only an average of 12-13 inches of rainfall annually. He says, “It’s not about how much rain you get, it’s how much you hold in the soil.”

Don’t do the same thing all the time Are you grazing the same pasture every spring? Do you take the same path across the pasture when you drive out to check the herd? Dennis says good grazing managers learn that they have to try different things. “Take a different route every time you drive across a field or pasture to avoid compaction,” he says, as an example. Likewise, he is adamant that land managers must break away from the traditional mentality of grazing certain pastures at the same time every year. “The land has to be treated different from year to year. Don’t hit the same paddock at the same time every year. Grazing in different seasons from one year to the next will promote a diversity of plant species,” he says. Dennis likes the idea of trying different stock densities, too, and he encourages producers to experiment and learn what works for them. He suggests, “Try something new on 10 acres and see what happens. That won’t cost you the whole farm. Learn from the experience and adapt.” Skim grazing is one experiment he suggests producers try. It is used when

you graze plants and move the cattle based on the conditions. For example, you take 80% of the leaf material early in the grazing season when plants have time to regrow and recover. When you move to another pasture, if plants are reaching their peak, you may only skim and take 40% of the plant — or even 20% depending on time of year and conditions — so that the majority of the root mass and seeds remain and next year’s growth isn’t adversely affected. Dennis even suggests taking grazing management classes from different experts. “You have the opportunity to learn different things from different people,” he says.

To stretch grazing perennial cool season grasses can serve as a complement to warm season native rangelands from April through June and also from September through November for producers across the Great Plains. But which species is worth the investment? Kansas research, testing persistence and productivity of 10 different varieties, indicates that Western wheatgrass (Barton and Flintock varieties) and Russian wildrye (Bozoisky) are more tolerant of heat and drought than other perennial cool season grasses tested.

Weeds are a wake-up call

If there’s one lesson Jim Carr has learned over the years, it’s the need to be flexible. The Burwell, Neb., rancher reminds producers, “It’s not a question of when or where we’ll have a drought. It’s a cycle.” But in recent years, Mother Nature dealt him just the opposite — destructive flooding. Carr says, “In ag we always need to remember how fragile our ecosystem is.” And, Carr recognizes that he must be able to adapt to whatever the environment throws his way. His key for flexibility is the ability to quickly change his stocking rate. “I stock my range with 30% of disposable cattle (stockers),” the longtime rancher says.

“Weeds are a symptom, not a problem,” says Dennis. He adds, “No weed can stand up to good healthy grass. Weeds like bare ground and no competition. When you spray, you take the competition away.” Thus, he says the best way to deal with weeds is to recognize something isn’t right and a grazing management change is needed instead.

Consider cool season forages Good grazing managers know that the longer you can extend your grazing season from spring through winter the lower your supplemental feed and labor costs will be.

Carr also says that for ranch and range management success to come full circle, landowners must recognize the importance of training the next generation to be capable managers. Particularly for family operations preparing to transition from one generation to the next, Carr advocates young people go to work for other ranch managers or ag businesses for a few years before returning to the family operation — “to gain experience and appreciation,” Carr says. Along with that, Carr notes the importance of communication and coaching from the current generation as they share their knowledge with future ranchers. He suggests: Be mentors to guide them; have the patience to be teachers to help develop their skills; judge and evaluate their progress and share that feedback with them; and be an encourager to cheer them on to pursue their goals.

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

The next generation of ranchers can gain hands-on experiences through the Ranch and Range Management Internship Program with the Kansas Ranch Institute (KRI). Mentors will work one-on-one with interns to pass on the adaptive managerial skills required to create sustainable ranches well into the 21st century. KRI has placements available with ranch mentors whose areas of expertise include grazing systems, ecological monitoring, wildlife enhancement, alternative forages, drought mitigation, ranch business modeling, prescribed burning and water management, to name a few. Selected students will experience working with cow-calf, stocker or bison operations that range in size from a few hundred acres to more than 40,000 acres. In addition, interns will have the opportunity to learn the dynamics of various grasslands such as the Flint Hills, the Gyp Hills, the Osage Cuestas, and the Smoky Hills of Kansas, the Nebraska Sand Hills, and the Loess region of northwest Missouri. This internship program is designed to expand the formal classroom and foster lifelong learning. In doing so, interns are expected to participate in several enrichment activities throughout the summer that complement what is being learned on the ranch.
