The Miracle of Computers Last November, I traded my older vehicle for a 2012 Ford F-150 pickup. I have a very good friend who is a line foreman for Ford Motor Co. who was telling me about the latest technological advances in engine efficiency and electronic capability. Being loyal to an American car company and my good friend, I bought the pickup with anxious anticipation of experiencing the new bells and whistles he had promised. My review: the ride is awesome, it is a six cylinder that has more power than my previous V8s ever had, and the dashboard capabilities blow me away. What I’m talking about are the electronics of the vehicle. I have an iPhone that will synch with the radio, and now I have a rolling office where I can make and take calls from the steering wheel. The point to all of this sales pitch on my new Ford that I’m so proud of is this — engineering advances have created amazing change in our creature comforts, our communication with one another, our home electronics and virtually every aspect of our culture. These advances are some of the same technology that is beginning to change the amount and accuracy of information that will virtually allow you as a

Hereford breeder to double the rate of change through accurate decision making in your breeding program. August 2012 marked a milestone for the Hereford breed when the American Hereford Association (AHA) launched its very first genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). Utilizing amazing technology that reads genetic code and an ever expanding computing capacity has enabled the seedstock industry to conduct ongoing research to discover the combination of genetic codings within the genome of individual animals that are determined to impact their biological performance and more accurately define their genetic value at an early age. Most of this life-altering technology and scientific breakthrough started in the 1950s with the invention of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit is a series of transistors and electronics built on microscopic semiconductor material that can be used to process and store information. I think we would all be shocked at how much of our lives are influenced by these tiny miracles of technology including our fresh drinking water, every aspect of our transportation systems, farming equipment and the food chain. Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel, wrote a research paper in the 1960s with a proof that still holds true today — over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on a 1-inch integrated circuit

doubles every two years, impacting processing speed, memory capacity and even the size of pixels in digital cameras. Moore’s truth has enabled production agriculture to develop decision technology that has impacted crop genetics and precision farming technology and is having more of an influence in the accuracy of selection decisions in young Hereford sires. In mid-April, the AHA released updated GE-EPDs (see “Performance Matters,” Page 8). We want to thank all of you early adopters, who have invested with the AHA in the genotyping of several thousand animals — it has had an enormous impact on discovery. I also want to remind you that although research in this field of animal genomics has been intense the last 20 years, the computing power and DNA sequencing technology have just recently gotten to a point where we can really start to make sense of this information. There will always be continuous improvement just as Ford continues to re-engineer its award-winning trucks. We obviously do not have all of the answers and some of our findings we question daily. However, there is one thing we can all be confident in: Moore’s law will continue to prevail. Our collaborative effort with the brightest scientific minds in production agriculture will help us to continue making amazing discoveries in genetic information, and your continued commitment will allow us to have the phenotypic information that will help the AHA build upon this amazing technology.

May/June 2013 /

The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met in Kansas City, Mo., April 8-9 for its spring board meeting. Highlights of the meeting are:

Marketing committee

• Continue current advertising

campaign for another year. • Discussed various modifications to the AHA website. • Show results data will be streamlined with three years of information available at Hereford.org. • Invest in programing that will allow for comparison reports of documented production sales over several years. • Collaborate with Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC to evaluate and improve the Hereford Verified site. • Develop aggressive training material for the upcoming ILR2 online system that includes teaching members how to use the calf tracker system to inform themselves what work needs to be turned in. • Develop a brand initiative that includes a review of all AHA apparel products, provides for CHB truck logos, sale barn signage and utilizes the Profitabull tag line. • Review and develop an expansion plan for BuyHereford.com that would

reach more interested buyers. Nearly $400,000 was sold on BuyHereford.com in 2012-13. • Develop a plan for an AHA direction summit to be hosted in 2014.

Member service committee

• The Board spent a great deal of time

reviewing the ILR2 online system that is currently undergoing internal testing. • A phone application for both iPhone and Droid is under review for quick animal lookups from the AHA database. • The Board proposed a continual breeder education program for Total Performance Records (TPR) and DNA technology.

Show and sale committee The Board approved the following judges for the six AHA national shows. • Keystone International Livestock Exposition, Harrisburg, Pa. — Jirl Buck • American Royal, Kansas City, Mo. — Kyle Colyer

AHA mailing list policy 1) The lists made available to Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) Creative Service (CS) clients are American Hereford Association (AHA) members, National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members, tabloid replies (commercial list), member bull transfers, non-member bull transfers, member female transfers and non-member female transfers. 2) The above lists cover a period for the last two years. 3) The seven lists can be combined as the client chooses. For example AHA members, tabloid and member female transfer lists could all be used for a particular mailing. 4) The above mentioned lists can be accessed through a radius search in 50-mile increments up to 500 miles from which CS can provide a summary of the results to the client. When searching the lists the mile increment used will be the same for all the lists searched. Clients may also request to mail to individual states. 5) Outside mailing lists from the client can be merged with the AHA mailing lists. The merging will take place at the printer and processing costs will be the responsibility of the CS client. The printer or mailing service will not share, sell, lease or distribute the lists in anyway. The list will only be used for the particular project with the designated mailing list. 6) CS will not release, lend, sell or rent the lists to any AHA member or non-member. CS mailing lists will be used for the benefit of CS clients on an individual project basis only. The projects will be managed by HPI personnel. 7) HPI personnel will not enhance, produce or manufacture a mailing list for the benefit of any AHA member or non-member. For example looking up names and addresses, completing incomplete addresses or any other mailing list activity deemed nonprofessional or unethical. HW

HPI board report

• HPI is reporting a mid-year profit

of $92,657 due to more breeder advertising and a growing number of ride-along catalogs. • The Board approved a mailing list policy (see “AHA mailing list policy”). • HPI will list all genetic abnormality carrier information on animals within a sale catalog or advertisement that HPI produces.

Breed improvement committee

• The Board reviewed the new genetic

parameters for the retrained genomicenhanced expected progeny difference (GE-EPD) panel and approved the release of the updated GE-EPDs with the new adjustments. • AHA will move to a new high density (HD) panel agreement with GeneSeek Inc. that will reduce the cost of the HD panel and include all of the following information: parentage verification, abnormalities and GE-EPDs. The cost for the product will be $85 whereas previously the cost of all of those products was $100. • Economic indexes will be reevaluated this summer. HW

AHA Releases Updated GE-EPDs The American Hereford Association (AHA) has released updated genomicenhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) based on updated and much stronger correlations that provide more accurate genomic predictions. Since the first release of GE-EPDs in August, there have been an additional 2,000 bulls 50K genotyped, and a large percentage of those are high accuracy bulls. With this additional information, beef cattle geneticists Dorian Garrick and Mahdi Saatchi have re-calibrated the genomic predictions, and, there is a tremendous improvement in

the correlations (see Tables 1 and 2). The AHA Board of Directors met by conference call and voted unanimously to update the correlations as soon as possible in order to give breeders the most current information to make breeding decisions this spring. These quick changes can be made because of the approach the AHA has taken to develop its specific Hereford panel and incorporate the genomic information with pedigree and phenotypes. It is important to remember that genetic testing is a tool that complements and enhances, but does not replace, conventional pedigree and performance recording. It is still important for breeders to collect phenotypic information including ultrasound. The

entire range of phenotypic measurements will be needed as the AHA moves forward to continually retrain the Hereford panel to further improve predictive ability. You can find these animals by utilizing the EPD search on the Hereford.org. This work has been done in cooperation with the National Beef Cattle Education Consortium (NBCEC) and GeneSeek Inc., and made possible, in part, by contributions to the Hereford Research Foundation.

Bolin hired as Hereford junior activities intern Luke Bolin, Fayetteville, Ark., has been selected as the 2013 American Hereford Association (AHA) junior activities intern. Luke is a senior at the University of Arkansas majoring in agricultural communications. Luke grew up showing Shorthorns and served on the junior board for the American Shorthorn Association. However, he was also the operations assistant ambassador at the 2012 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), and enjoyed Hereford people so much he wanted to come back. Luke Bolin AHA Director of Junior Activities and Foundation Amy Cowan says, “I am excited to have Luke join our team again this summer as our junior activities intern. His real world experiences on the National Junior Shorthorn board as well as serving as a 2012 JNHE ambassador, will be a huge asset as we plan JNHE and PRIDE (Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel) Convention this summer.” Luke’s coursework in college has allowed him to develop technical skills in Web design and content management, social media, video development, photography, client relations, organizational and interpersonal communication, merchandising, graphic design, and journalism which he will put to use at the AHA. Luke’s duties will focus around the JNHE in Kansas City, Mo., as he will manage the JNHE ambassador team and help the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board with the organization of the contests and events. He will also work closely with the entry process and assist with marketing, social media and communications to the exhibitors, state advisors and all JNHE attendees. Prior to the junior national show, he will represent the AHA at a few state and regional junior events and will be instrumental in coordinating the PRIDE Convention in Brookings, S.D. HW

An Unbelievable Journey Growing up, both of us enjoyed watching the movie The Sandlot. There is a quote that sticks out from this timeless film:

“Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.” During the past three years, the four of us who were elected to the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board in 2010 have jokingly referred to ourselves as “team legendary.” While we may not truly be legends, it’s safe to say we have tried our best to be as legendary as we could while on the board. We have learned a lot of lessons on the job, and we would like to share a few of them with you.

Pushing the limits is OK.

We’ve become extremely skilled at taking the status quo to a whole new level. Whether

it’s the number of people we can fit into a car, how few hours of sleep we can function on during Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) week or Amy Cowan and Bailey Clanton’s patience, we’ve learned how to test the limits without breaking them (and how seriously to take Bailey’s threats). It’s fine to not want to settle for the undisturbed perception of what’s normal. Being able to take things one step further has allowed us to grow stronger and be more effective leaders.

Our tastes in music are as unique as all the board members.

We have been privileged to experience some really cool concerts during our term, such as Reba at the American Royal Rodeo and Josh Turner and the Oak Ridge Boys at the Grand Ole Opry. We learned that Keysto Stotz loves the Oak Ridge Boys. More unique musical experiences include serenades by Austin, when he sang like the girl from Band Perry to Matt and Tamar. From Clarence Carter to Casey Donahew, we’ve got tastes all over the spectrum, but when we bring all this music together, much like the junior board, it results in a unique, harmonious melody.

Blood, sweat and tears come with the blazer.

We have experienced plenty of blood, sweat and tears over the last three years together. Blood from accidental collisions horsing around with the guys in hotel rooms, sweat from our overly competitive games of football and basketball, and tears from laughing until 2 a.m. to a seemingly bottomless barrel of hilarious stories at “PRIDE Megafun PRIDE.”

Of course, it hasn’t been all fun and games, and we have experienced some of the “real” blood, sweat and tears along the way. However, there were people who helped prepare us and were there for us when we needed help getting through the trying times.

Learning from great leaders helped us to become better leaders.

The countless hours we spent in board meetings with some of the finest leaders (and even better people) in the breed have allowed us to grow in our leadership abilities. We want to thank the Buchholzs, McMillans, McClintocks and Gobles for not only being advisors for us in meetings but going above and beyond the job description by inviting us into your homes and simply making an effort to get to know us as more than “ just boardies.” We realize we couldn’t do any of the things we are able to do without Amy Cowan and Bailey Clanton, lovingly known as “AC/ BC.” Your dedication and service to the board and the NJHA have not gone unnoticed. You allow us the freedom to manage our responsibilities in a fun atmosphere and keep us in line when we need it. We’ve tried to give our best because we know all the people mentioned above have done the same for us.

It’s not really working when you are working with your friends.

We all arrived in Indianapolis as relative strangers, learning what we could about each other from reading candidate packets on the drive to the JNHE. For Jaime, Tamar and ourselves, we left Indy as members of the NJHA board. More importantly, we were four new Hereford.org

friends about to begin what has been an exciting three-year adventure. We all bring something unique to the table that has made working together extremely enjoyable. With a little help from our mascot “Scotch the Tiger,” we became “Team Legendary” for pranking NJHA board members Rossie Blinson and Danielle Starr on our first trip to PRIDE. Hundreds of miles may separate the four of us, but our friendships are as tight as if we all lived on the same street. During last summer’s JNHE, Judge Brad Gohr made a comment to parents in the stands, “Watch the people your children are hanging out with, because they are the people that will be your child’s lifelong friends.” After hearing that, we both agree that it’s a miracle the Adcocks and the Hansons allow us to hang out with their daughters as much as they do!

We couldn’t do this without help.

If it weren’t for the love and support of our families, there’s no way any of us would ever get the opportunity to serve on the board. While we are off tending to board duties, they are the ones who make the sacrifices and make sure everything else gets done. We also greatly appreciate the support of all our fellow Hereford juniors and families throughout the barn who have been there when we needed a meal, a chair to rest in or just a friendly face to say, “Hey, how are you today?” or “You’re doing a good job out there.” It means a lot to hear encouragement from you all. Sometimes, those words of encouragement were exactly what we needed to keep working hard to help out our fellow juniors.

It’s been an unbelievable journey for us from Indianapolis to Kansas City this July. We have undoubtedly reaped more benefits from our time on the board than we have given back to the NJHA. We look forward to seeing all of our Hereford family in Kansas City in a few months, and don’t forget to pick up the July Hereford World for thoughts from the other half of “Team Legendary” — Jaime and Tamar.

NHW Seeks Members, Leaders Diversity by definition in Webster’s dictionary is the condition of having or being composed of differing elements: the inclusion of different types of people in a group or organization. The Hereford industry including the American Hereford Association (AHA) and the National Hereford Women (NHW) have the benefit of being diverse organizations. What this brings to the table is nothing short of sheer endless possibilities. The NHW is presently in its third year. The past two years have been history-making times. NHW members have several new projects and programs in planning that we are excited about. We utilize all of the resources that our board members bring with them. A group can do amazing things when it combines the knowledge, experience, education, initiative and drive of women who all share a common passion for children and Hereford cattle. Within this small organization, we utilized the strengths and skills of teachers, business owners, descendants of multi-generations of Hereford ranchers, journalists, home economists, mothers, grandmothers, administrators, event planners,

CHB takes the spotlight at Meat & Eat In March, Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) took part in an exciting opportunity to be introduced to Houston-area restaurants and catwerers. During the Jake’s Finer Foods Meat & Eat, current and potential customers were invited to the urbanCHEF to wine, dine and, most importantly, eat meat. The focus of this event was the proteins offered by Jake’s, as well as the capabilities of Gourmet Ranch in offering portion-cut steaks. The Urban Kitchen atmosphere created a personalized experience for chefs and restaurant owners to ask questions and discover new possibilities, while four Chef Fredrick Brown prepared CHB chefs prepared different strip steak for sampling at the Jake’s proteins at each station. Finer Foods Meat & Eat.

2013 marks 67 years of business for family-owned Jake’s Finer Foods, which has grown into a leading full-service broadline distributor, offering a selection of nearly 10,000 products. Jake’s Finer Foods distributes to foodservice providers and restaurants in Texas and western Louisiana. To learn more, visit jakesfinerfoods.com.

Merchants expanded sales staff introduced to CHB In March the newest additions to the Merchants Foodservice group, based out of the newly formed Tifton, Ga., office, were introduced to CHB product. Mick Welch, CHB LLC vice president of sales, introduced the product and educated the new Merchants sales staff on the advantages and history of CHB. In 2011, Merchants Foodservice, based out of Hattiesburg, Miss., was ranked 15th in the nation for foodservice distribution sales by Institutional Distributor magazine. It currently has units in Clanton, Ala.; Newberry, S.C.; Jackson, Miss.; and, most recently, Tifton, Ga. HW

This year’s Herd Reference issue will focus on Service.

Introduces BuyNow Option BuyHereford.com, the online sale website of the American Hereford Association, is excited to introduce a new service to continually meet the needs of buyers and sellers alike: BuyHereford.com BuyNow. BuyNow allows consignors to set their selling price. Buyers can then choose to purchase the consignment at that price — bypassing the auction setting. Visit BuyHereford.com and click on “BuyNow” to see the current offerings. Consignors follow the same entry process as with the auction service and can choose to sell either via the traditional auction option or through BuyNow. Consignments will be listed for a month, until the following month’s BuyNow goes live, and fees will be similar to those of the auction. Dennis Schock, BuyHereford.com manager, says this option was created in response to the needs of consignors and buyers. “We have had several consignors request the service,” Schock says. “And we are always pleased to be able to meet the needs of our breeders. We believe this will expand the opportunities for those who wish to offer multiple offerings – such as with semen or embryo packages. We look forward to great success with this new option.” For more information about BuyHereford.com or the new BuyNow option, contact Dennis Schock at 903-815-2004. HW

Performance on Grass At Fowken Farm, the Fowler family has been turning grass into beef for 68 years. by Angie Stump Denton

n the rolling hills of northwest South Carolina, the ability to utilize forage 10 or more months of the year is key to the profitability of a beef operation. At Fowken Farm near Jonesville, the Fowler family has been raising Hereford cattle that perform on grass since 1946. Norris Fowler, Fowken Farm owner and manager, says the Fowken Hereford is well adapted to its environment and has the ability to efficiently convert grass. He has continued his father’s legacy of selecting and producing females with fleshing ability on forage, fertility, moderate milk production, good temperament, natural thickness and uniformity.

Hereford sire, Battle Domino 18, a Plato cow and a Charming Princess cow. Buddy and his wife, Hettie, chose to name the farm Fowken Farm. It was the combination of their family names — Fowler and Kennedy. Both families were cotton farmers. The Fowken headquarters is the original Benjamin Kennedy family homeplace, which was built in the early 1800s. In the early days of Fowken Farm, Buddy utilized performance testing, the Clemson University Bull Test and the American Polled Hereford Association Guide Lines program

to develop fast-growing, efficient bloodlines that perform without supplemental feed. Buddy was good friends with Neil Trask, and through the years, the two traded and swapped cows. The Trask cattle are still known today as being economical, beef-making, profit-making, grazing animals. These same elements are the basis of the Fowken program. Buddy also set out to determine how his cattle met the demands of the feedlot and sent cattle to participate in the Kansas National Feedlot Test and Carcass Evaluation. He passed away in 1997.

Looking back Fowken Farm was started by Norris’ father, Norris “Buddy” Fowler. A retired Brigadier General, Buddy saw combat duty in World War II and served in the Carolina National Guard. After returning from the war in 1946, Buddy began his cattle operation with a herd of commercial cows. He soon sold them to acquire a polled Hereford.org

In 1946 Buddy Fowler started Fowken Farm with the purchase of Battle Domino 18. Buddy was recognized for his contributions to the polled Hereford breed in 1993, when he was inducted into the American Polled Hereford Association Hall of Fame.

Fowken today After graduating from North Carolina State University in 1972 with a degree in animal science, Norris returned home to help with the family businesses. Today Norris and his wife, Ann, own and manage Fowken Farm along with the family’s feed and seed store — Union Oil Mill Farm and Garden Inc. (UOM). The Fowlers have owned the UOM business since 1926. continued on page 48...

May/June 2013 /

...Performance on Grass continued from page 47

UOM once specialized in marketing cottonseed and owned four cotton gins; today it offers lawn and garden supplies, pesticides, insecticides and trees. Norris has followed in his father’s footsteps, serving 22 years in the Army National Guard infantry before retiring. Both Fowler men also served as president of UOM and have been passionate Norris Fowler has continued his father’s legacy of producing profitabout producing Hereford making grazing animals. cattle that excel in their grass-based environment. Norris and Ann’s son Rogers helps with the day-to-day operations on the farm and son Ramsey assists with UOM. Their daughter, Lucy, works off the farm and is involved in the international body shipping business.

Home-raised bulls are used exclusively at Fowken Farm.

Breeding program Today the Fowken herd includes 250 Hereford mama cows and 100 commercial cows. Having a predominately closed herd, Norris raises his own bulls and purchases very few females. Replacement heifers are bred to calve in September and October with the main cow herd calving in January and February. Norris says this schedule allows them to give the first-calf heifers extra time before breeding them to calve with the main herd. “We monitor the fleshing of our cattle at weaning,” Norris says. “This helps determine a cow’s ability to survive in our program. If they do

Rogers Fowler, Norris’ son, helps with the day-today operations on the farm.

not qualify, we put them in our commercial herd.” The Fowlers collect cow weights at weaning and evaluate the ratio of calf weaned to cow weight. This is one tool they use in the culling process. They also look at birth weight and milking ability. “Our cow herd must be able to thrive in our grass-based environment,” Norris says. “We require a well-balanced animal, which includes balanced EPDs (expected progeny differences), good structure and carcass data. We want our cattle to be naturally thick, easy keepers with a round-type muscle.” Steven Meadows, Clemson University associate dean for the Cooperative Extension Service, has known the Fowler family and followed the Fowken program for more than 35 years. He bought his first 4-H projects — two Hereford Fowken females are expected to be fertile, moderate framed, heifers — at the age of 15 produce moderate milk, have a good temperament, have natural thickness and, above all, perform on grass. from the Fowlers.

/ May/June 2013

He describes Fowken genetics as cattle that fit their environment. “The Fowken cattle have very balanced EPDs, they have been selected for optimum growth and optimum efficiency,” he explains. “In this part of the U.S. performance on grass is paramount. Cattle need to be able to go out and survive on grass 10 months out of the year. The Fowken genetics thrive in that strategy.” Meadows explains that when he visited the farm last fall he saw bull calves that were averaging 700 to 750 lb. “That tells me the program is working.” He also complimented the herd for its udder and structure quality.

Fowken bulls The Fowlers have an intensive, multistep selection process for bull selection. Norris explains the first culling is done at birth. Bulls with heavy birth weights or extensive calving problems are castrated at that time. The bull calves are evaluated again at 3 to 4 months of age and later at 6 months of age. If at any stage a bull does not meet the Fowken criteria, he is castrated. Meadows described Fowken-bred bulls as strong, thick, deep-muscled with lots of capacity and the ability to work in a forage-based program. Each year Norris retains five bulls for his own breeding program and, on average, offers 35 bulls for sale.

Marketing strategy Through the years Fowken Farm has hosted more than 30 successful production sales and distributed cattle into 23 states and Spain. The Fowlers hosted its last sale on Nov. 6, 1993. Hereford.org

Since then they have sold most Fowken genetics by private treaty and in a few consignment sales. Each year they sell groups of commercial open and bred heifers. Norris says their marketing philosophy is to try to offer the different types of products a customer wants. With this plan in mind, he started offering baldie heifers for sale. The quality of these baldie heifers helps stimulate interest in Hereford bulls. Norris says he has seen an increased demand for Hereford bulls in recent years. This past year he started expanding his bull marketing to Florida, consigning some bulls to the Florida Cattlemen’s Association sale in Ocala. For years the family has consigned females to state association sponsored Hereford sales in South and North Carolina. Steer calves are sold on video. “We’ve had good luck with repeat buyers,” Norris explains. “We also use HerefordMarketplace.com to advertise the steers qualify for the CHB (Certified Hereford Beef) program.”

Pasture management The Fowlers utilize a semi-rotational grazing plan. The Fowlers feed very little hay or supplement. “The drought has changed our ideology of grazing,” Norris explains. “We are trying to do more rotational grazing as water and grass permits. With the current drought and the price of fertilizer we have had to match our acreage with our animal numbers.” Because of drought and rising input costs the Fowlers have reduced herd size to match their resources, but the Fowken program of producing Hereford females that perform on grass

continues to be one that Southeast producers strive to emulate.

Clemson donation Clemson University is building a grass-based Hereford research herd focusing on Fowken and Trask genetics. Last fall the Fowler family allowed Meadows and his colleague Brian Bolt to sort through the Fowken herd to select females to utilize in the Clemson program. “We were allowed to pick from the entire herd, nothing was held back,” Meadows explains. “We were impressed with the overall completeness, teat quality, moderate frame and quality of feet and legs we found in the Fowken cow herd. They have enough depth in their program so they were not scared to allow us to select nine of their top cows.” The University purchased eight, and the Fowlers donated one. Meadows says five of the females are going into the University’s donor program to be used as the University tries to propagate the Trask-based genetics. The cattle will be used in teaching and Extension to demonstrate how much of an impact a very defined breeding program focused on producing economical, beef-making, profit-making, grazing animals can make over time. Norris is excited about the future of the Hereford breed and how Hereford genetics will fit the beef industry for years to come. “There is a greater demand for grass-fed beef than ever before,” he says. “I think the people who have maintained genetics for the grass-type animal are now in a position to help our Hereford breed meet industry demand.” HW

Serving his rural community Norris Fowler says it is important for a person to give back to his community. For the last 22 years, he has served on the local rural electric cooperative board of directors. This experience has allowed him to meet farmers from all over the U.S. In this role he has assisted with rural development and worked to make sure rural areas have electricity and have access to Internet and other services. “We recognize problems in rural America and try to help with those issues,” he explains. While serving the cooperative, he has had the chance to travel to events or schools in different parts of the U.S. “I always take my herd book with me as I travel to other parts of the world and try to go visit Hereford breeders or other producers in those areas,” Norris says. “I really enjoy visiting with other breeders and learn how they manage their herds.” HW

Adding value The Fowler family has also ventured into other projects to utilize the farm’s resources and generate more revenue. The farm includes 4,300 acres of land, which include timberland that is not suitable for grazing. Through the years, the Fowler family has established wildlife and timber management programs. They rent out tracts of land for hunting and have worked with the South Carolina Forestry Commission to develop a 20-year plan incorporating best management practices for the farm’s timberland. Norris says when harvesting timber, they take wildlife into consideration and are selective in the process of cutting Hereford.org

hardwood trees — nut, hickory and oak trees. Last year the family ventured into hosting a hare scramble event on the farm. A hare scramble is a form of off-road motorcycle racing that varies in distance and time with the riders completing multiple laps around a marked course through wooded or other rugged natural terrain. The overall winner is the rider who maintains the highest speed throughout the race. They hosted two events in 2012 and plan to host two more in 2013. “We then plan to evaluate if they have had a detrimental effect to our farm,” Norris explains. HW
