The Great Debate
4
Today, one of the great debates surfacing within the beef industry is based on whether or not commercial cattlemen should focus their genetic selection decisions on straightbreeding with Angus genetics or use other breeds to crossbreed in order to remain more profitable. Much of this debate has been spawned by the American Angus Association’s straightbreeding message in defense of its dominant market share position and recognition that the Hereford breed is making strides in market share penetration. The American Hereford Association (AHA) recently launched a new ad campaign including a four-fold brochure distributed in the October Drover’s CattleNetwork and the October Hereford World touting the inherent breed strengths and Hereford crossbreeding advantages to commercial cattlemen (see Page 10). In October the American Angus Association also launched a new advertising campaign touting its respective position regarding future genetic selection recommendations for the commercial industry. Decades of scientific research have documented the advantages of crossbreeding, and the AHA has replicated time-honored scientific results in recent years. Studies conducted at some of the premier commercial ranches in the country have documented the advantages of crossbreeding with Hereford and, in particular, the advantage a baldie feeder steer and his replacement heifer

mate carry in comparison to their straightbred Angus counterparts. The recent studies with Lacey Land and Livestock, Harris Ranch, Circle A Ranch and Simplot Livestock Co. have reaffirmed what has already long been known and would be imprudent to dismiss during these extreme times of drought and input volatility. My point in this article and for future conversations coming out of this office is not to disparage the Angus breed. The Angus breed is an essential component to future beef industry success and consumer satisfaction. However, the Hereford breed is poised to complement the Angus cow base in America in a way that will maintain beef quality and enhance rancher profits even further. The breeds complement one another. Not any one breed has an exclusive on the genes that influence traits leading to profitability. Cattlemen still have to operate in environments that make it tough on straightbred black cattle. The fact that the Hereford breed is making such a resurgent comeback is testament to a response by the commercial sector to rethink its genetic selection strategy. The American Angus Association will promote the fact that crossbreeding is focused too far on maximizing production while the industry has changed to a value-based specification beef marketing system. We can certainly agree that specification marketing is dominating modern beef production and will continue to be enhanced over time; however, the
Achilles heel of single-breed genetic selection will always be centered on the most important profit driver of the industry — fertility. Without a live, healthy calf there is no quality beef. Years of crossbreeding research have documented the advantages of crossbreeding in increasing fertility. Our own recent studies have indicated a 7% advantage in pregnancy and calving rates in baldie cows when compared to straight Angus cows. This is one issue that cannot be ignored. Today’s beef industry has taken a beating in recent years relative to drought, open cows and cow herd contraction. Hopefully, the climate will change — it always does — and the industry will trend back to normalcy with a serious economic incentive for expansion. While producers begin to think about the type of female they will retain for their future cow factory, the issue of fertility and production efficiency will need to be addressed in conjunction with the marketability of future calf crops. While other breeds of cattle have made their product more similar to Angus, it will be the Hereford breed with its very different genetic makeup that will truly complement the Angus breed by improving fertility and calf survivability, as well as weaning weights and feed efficiency, while reducing replacement female costs. Furthermore, the end product from that cross will exceed the expectations of consumers that have to make difficult budgetary decisions at the grocery store. HW Hereford.org

Stahly NRSP Results Announced Included here is the final report on the progeny performance from Stahly Ranch, Cavour, S.D., on the spring 2011-born calves. Mike and Judy Stahly have participated for years in the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP), utilizing young Hereford sires in their commercial herd. Even though there were only three bulls tested at Stahly Ranch, we used one bull common to both Stahly and Olsen Ranches Inc. in order to tie the two NRSP test ranches together. In addition to the traditional data of birth weight, weaning weight, yearling weight and carcass, the Stahly steers were put on GrowSafe test at Olsen’s to gather individual feed intake. This test is really important as the American Hereford Association (AHA) has been able to supply feed intake information on all young sire test animals to be used in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) feed efficiency grant to look at genetic markers for efficiency. The first steers from Olsen’s have been genotyped,
and the Stahly steers are in the process. Dorian Garrick, Iowa State University Lush Chair in animal breeding and genetics, has run an evaluation on the first set of calves. In addition, Mike MacNeil, research geneticist at Fort Keogh Livestock and Range Research Laboratory, is working on a trait for efficiency in Hereford cattle. If any breeders have collected some individual feed intake information on cattle and would like to share it with Mike for the development of a feed efficiency trait, contact me.
Genomics update In addition to the young sire test report, I would like to give you another update on genomics and AHA’s genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). Many breeders have inquired about how we will handle pedigree estimates on calves that have parents with GE-EPDs. Remember that the genomic information today is not part of the regular genetic analysis and does not affect animals up and down the

pedigree. So, with that said, when a calf has a parent with a GE-EPD, the calf’s EPD will not be reflective of the average of the EPD with GE-EPD added but will be reflective of the base EPD of that parent. This will be the case until we have added the genomic information to the analysis. I also want to remind breeders of the cost sharing that the AHA Board has budgeted in order to add as many high accuracy sires to the training as possible. It is our goal to add another 1,000 sires in order to build correlations and make the panel stronger. If you have a bull that does not have a GE-EPD, has a weaning weight accuracy of better than .50 and was born in 2001 or after, contact Toni Shapiro at the AHA office, and AHA will pay $40 of the test cost. If you have a bull that is slightly less than .50 accuracy for WW and has seen very heavy use, contact me at jward@hereford.org or 816-842-3757. Finally, just a reminder to breeders who would like to utilize the GE-EPD prior to production sales that they need to allow enough time to get the animals tested. If they want the information reflected in their sale catalogs, getting that information takes even more planning. It will take about three weeks for results from the lab after it receives the samples. HW

Keepin’ the Momentum With the Thanksgiving holiday right around the corner, there is no time like now to say thanks to all our members, supporters, fans and friends of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA). The past year has been nothing but exciting. Fall sale season is in full swing and Facebook, Twitter and Show Text are overflowing with incredible Hereford sale reports. The momentum that the junior heifer market has created is making a statement in the seedstock industry and gives us so much to be thankful for. The mission of the NJHA is to build future leaders, and as I reflect on the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Grand Island, Neb., and Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention in Michigan, it is rewarding to see this mission being accomplished in our junior programs. It “takes a village” to organize events like the JNHE, and the state

of Nebraska went above and beyond. Nebraska raised more than $90,000 for “Livin’ the Hereford Life,” and as we close the books on the 2012 event, I am very excited to report that $30,000 from the state funding efforts in Nebraska will be presented to the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) to help fund future junior national events. This gift to HYFA gives us added momentum as we plan for “Show Me the Herefords,” July 14-21 in Kansas City, Mo., and as we get our JNHE rotation in place for 2014 and beyond. A great big thank-you to the Nebraska executive committee, led by Grant and Linda McKay, and to all the “villagers” in Nebraska who got the ball rolling and created so much momentum behind the 2012 JNHE. The JNHE oversight committee is making plans to be back in Nebraska; stay tuned as we announce the locations and dates for future events later this fall. The momentum from the champion drives in Grand Island has flowed right on into the fall sale season and the first national Hereford shows of the year. Despite Mother Nature dealing some bad luck to our farming and ranching families across the nation, I am continually amazed each week by the numbers, the reports and the energy surrounding our breed this fall. The Hereford is in demand; we are seeing many new faces in and around the Hereford circles, and we welcome all the new NJHA members. If you would like to become a member, visit JrHereford.org, and if you have not renewed your current membership, please do so today so you will be eligible for NJHA programs and events. As an NJHA member, not only will you be able to participate in the JNHE, junior AI program and PRIDE Convention but you will also have the opportunity to apply

for scholarships made possible by HYFA. This fall we had more than 30 college-age students apply for scholarships and will award $36,000 to our next generation of leaders. In addition to scholarships, all junior members reap the benefits of HYFA’s support of leadership and education. Thanks to the foundation, the 2012 PRIDE leadership conference was a highlight of the summer for those who attended. It was neat to take the group to Michigan State University (MSU) and to see firsthand an institution that has done so much for building leaders in our industry and the Hereford breed. Thank you HYFA, MSU, Ridgeview Farms, Grand Meadow Farms and Cottonwood Springs for helping us build future leaders and momentum. The NJHA board has just finished its calendar fundraiser that supports the board’s travel to shows and events throughout the year. Thank you to everyone who purchased an ad in the 2013 calendar. Look for the calendar in the December Hereford World. In looking ahead to the new year and all that is on the horizon for the NJHA, be sure to check out JrHereford.org and the NJHA Facebook page for junior news and announcements. We have recently posted the fall Advantage newsletter, which is packed with information, stories and deadlines that will keep you and your family up-to-date. Bailey Clanton has extended her summer internship and is assisting with NJHA projects this fall and working closely with the national Hereford shows. Bailey brings a great deal of energy to the junior department and passion for leadership, having served on the American Junior Shorthorn Board. Please contact Bailey or me with any questions you have. We look forward to seeing you at the next event and keeping the Hereford momentum going strong. HW Hereford.org

Hi, I’m Lance Ellsworth at Cattle Visions. We are celebrating our 10th anniversary this year. We are fairly new to marketing semen on Hereford bulls, but we dominate every other breed for quality. My family shows cattle, we raise cattle and we live in southeast Wisconsin in pretty solid Hereford country. Our warehouse is just north of Columbia, Missouri. I realize Hereford cattle are major players in the beef industry and we want to further develop Hereford genetics. We have over 200 sales reps round the country and we offer convenient, direct or online ordering too. Please visit our website.

NHW Welcomes New Members The lifeblood of any organization is membership, and National Hereford Women (NHW) is no different. The 2010 merging of two healthy organizations, American Hereford Women and the National Organization of Poll-ettes, into one, the NHW, has brought board streamlining, program revitalization and membership to new levels. “Your membership is truly the backbone of the NHW,” Paula Acheson, NHW membership chair, says. “Over the last three years we have grown and plan to continue our growth and support of our Hereford youth with educational opportunities. We also plan incentives to strive for continued breed and industry improvement and involvement.” When the merger occurred, the combined membership of the organization was significant. With any “new” organization, there are birthing and growing pains, but the NHW is a strong, viable and growing association of women who have Hereford youth at their heart.
National Hereford Women OFFICERS AND COMMITTEE CHAIRS President – Mary Ann Berg, Dalton, Ohio President elect – Denise Billman, Newcomerstown, Ohio Vice president – Gay Maddox, Zionsville, Ind.

“In July at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), the NHW made a dedicated effort to increase membership,” Acheson says. “We sponsored a booth to showcase our prints for sale, t-shirts, mouse pads and notecards. We talked membership with many Hereford women and offered a print giveaway to one lucky new member. We were thrilled with the results of the drive. We doubled our membership from what we had going into the JNHE resulting in over 400 current paid members.” She also noted that many who stopped by the booth were renewing their memberships, but workers also saw an increased number of young mothers wanting to support the organization and also some wanting to get more involved.
Membership benefits What does your membership do for you? Membership entitles women to vote at NHW’s annual business meeting during the American Royal show in Kansas City, Mo., each fall; to receive the group’s e-newsletter, to serve on the board or volunteer in the organization; to support the National Hereford Queen program; to support Hereford youth and their activities; to fund and promote youth scholarships; to create and assist in program fundraising; and to promote the Hereford breed. NHW dues are $20 annually and payable Jan. 1 of each calendar year. Dues may be paid to a representative of a state Hereford women’s organization or may be sent directly to Paula Acheson, depending on the structure of the state organization. According to NHW’s member handbook, young women who are no longer age-eligible to belong to the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) will be given a one-year complimentary membership to NHW. This invitation will remain open for one year following the end of the NJHA membership. The
“membership information form” is available on the NHW website at HerefordWomen.com.
Lifetime memberships NHW also offers a lifetime membership which is a one-time payment of $400. “This option truly benefits the young ladies that are joining now. This is worth 20 years of dues. Most of us have paid well over that during our membership years and with the lifetime membership you know you will always have a vote along with the other benefits.” Acheson says becoming an NHW member is a “Stepping stone to helping the future of our youth and our Hereford cattle. We look forward to another great year of promoting the Hereford breed and all the great programs we sponsor. We also genuinely thank all the returning, renewing and new members. We are always open to new ideas and welcome your involvement at any time.” For membership information, contact Paula Acheson at 785-257-3541 or at gpacheson@tctelco.net.
Starting a new state group NHW has recently received requests to help reactivate state women’s groups or offer assistance in launching new groups. In response to the requests, NHW is developing a packet of information for women or groups that wish to organize under NHW’s leadership umbrella. The packets will include “how-to” procedures, mailing list information and basic bylaws development. If you would like one of the packets, have questions about starting a state association or have ideas on what should be included in the packet, visit HerefordWomen.com or contact Susan Hayhurst at 812-696-2468 or hayhurstfarms@aol.com. NHW board members look forward to our new state organizations forming in 2013. HW Hereford.org

AHA President David Breiner cherishes family, Herefords and the K-State Wildcats. by Angie Stump Denton
W
hether on horseback checking cows in the beautiful Kansas Flint Hills or in the boardroom leading the second largest breed association in the U.S., David Breiner depicts the true cowboy spirit of dedication, loyalty and honesty.
A cattleman since birth, David grew up near Norton, Kan., on his family’s Angus farm — Hillsdale Angus, which was started by his parents in 1946. His first hands-on experience with Hereford cattle was during his college years at K-State (Kansas State University) when he worked at the purebred beef barn. After graduating from K-State in 1972, he helped start Mill Creek Ranch in the Flint Hills near Alma, Kan., where Herefords have grazed the lush pastures for 40 years.
About the ranch David helped select the foundation females to start Mill Creek Ranch in the spring of ’72. Those females were Mark Donald, Line 1, Tiberius and Don Blanchard bloodlines. In the late ’70s David was given the opportunity to become the managing partner/owner of Mill Creek Ranch, a position he still serves in today. In 1996 Bob Moore of Pied Piper Farms, Hamlin, Texas, became a partner in the Mill Creek herd. This move was made to enable both Pied Piper and Mill Creek the opportunity to expand cow herd numbers and annually market a large number of bulls and heifers to their customers. Today the Mill Creek herd consists of 300 brood cows and 100 replacement heifers. Both Hereford and Angus females make up the cow herd today. Each February the ranch offers 150 bulls and 100 females in its annual production sale and through private treaty sales. With the motto “The Brand that Works,” David utilizes an extensive artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET) program to produce seedstock for registered and commercial producers that are moderate in birth, high in performance and excel in carcass traits. Mill Creek Ranch has participated in the National Reference Sire Program, Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program and the National Hereford Feedout. The ranch has also donated semen to the

American Hereford Women board. For her dedication to AHW she was named Outstanding Hereford Woman in 1988. Chad, Clay, Ryan and Ashley participated in the Kansas Junior Hereford Association, serving as board members and officers, and showed cattle at many regional and national events. Dave and Diane were also advisors to the Kansas and the American Junior Hereford boards. When he isn’t working with Herefords or enjoying his family, David is involved in his community, having been the voice of the Wabaunsee Chargers for 21 years.

2000 Bull Project and embryos to the Hereford Research Foundation. When asked what excites him about the cattle business, David says it is the challenge to continue to breed better cattle that will help his customers improve their bottom lines. For example, a Mill Creek bull customer from west Texas who has been buying bulls for nearly 10 years has improved his average weaning weight from 600 lb. to nearly 800 lb. “Our customers depend on us to make a living,” he says.
Focus on family While at K-State, David met the love of his life, a Hereford girl named Diane McDonald. At David and Diane’s wedding, someone took an Angus bull and painted its head white. As David says with a smile, “We’ve been involved with black baldies for a long time.” The couple has four married children — Chad, Clay, Ryan and Ashley — and five grandchildren. Chad and Callea Breiner live on the ranch. Chad manages the daily operations of Mill Creek, and Callea is a nurse practitioner for the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Clinic in Manhattan. Their son, Karsten, is 5, and according to Grandpa David, “He is a big help on the ranch.” Clay and Kendra Breiner are both veterinarians and live in the Wamego, Kan., area where Clay specializes in embryo transfer with Cross Country Genetics and Kendra is board certified Hereford.org
in theriogenology and works with reproduction in multiple species. Their son, Kennan, is 16 months old. Ryan and Sharon Breiner live in Manhattan, where Ryan is the herdsman at the K-State Purebred Beef Teaching Unit and Sharon teaches in the College of Leadership Studies. Their daughter, Quinn, is 5 months old. Ashley and Eric Bohl live near Ellsworth, Kan., where Ashley is a loan officer and Eric runs a commercial cow herd and farming operation with his family. They have two children — Rett is 3, and Rylee Jo is 14 months old. Dedication to serving the Hereford breed is evident with the entire family. Diane was president and served on the
Mentors Through the years David says he’s had several mentors in the Hereford business, including his father-in-law, Harold McDonald, who exported polled Hereford cattle to Japan and England in the ’60s. He also lists Miles McKee, Bud Snidow, Gibbs Rehm, Jack Cooper and Jack Evans as individuals who have guided him through the years.
Marketing minded David admits marketing has changed significantly in the past 40 years. “When I first started selling Hereford bulls, we made contacts through telephone calls, cattle shows and ranch visits,” he explains. “We mailed letters and sale catalogs and customers were sitting in the seats on sale day. Those things are still continued on page 26...
Mill Creek Ranch has exhibited at National Western Stock Show for 33 years. Viewing attendance there as a marketing opportunity, David says, “If you stay at home potential customers will never find you.”

important, but we’ve added a lot of other marketing avenues.” He lists digital cameras, e-mail, video technology, online bidding, online sale catalogs, websites and entire production sales done strictly on the Internet as new marketing tools used today. “But as much as marketing has changed, much has stayed the same,” he explains. “Producers have to produce a quality product, take care of their customers and try out new avenues to continually find new customers. “Selling cattle is a people business and a service business. People buy from the person/ranch they trust and the service that operation provides them. You never know when a contact will become a customer, so you have to continually work to promote your breeding program and take care of the ranchers who have put their faith and pocketbook in your hands.”
Board tenure While on the American Hereford Association (AHA) Board, David served on the show and sale, breed improvement, CHB, Hall of Fame/ Merit, executive, building and financial committees. “I have learned to listen and try to understand all sides of an issue before making a decision,” David says. “It is important as a Board to not make new rules that can affect the ability of any of our members to make a living from their Herefords. More importantly, when you serve on the AHA Board, you cannot be agenda driven, you must be open-minded and do your best to serve all facets of our great industry.” AHA Vice President Cliff Copeland describes David as being welcoming when Cliff joined the AHA Board and says David helped him learn the ropes as a new Board member.
“Since then,” Cliff adds, “David has been relentless, no matter what the issue, of being concerned about how any decision the Board makes impacts the membership. He has been particularly interested in furthering performance analysis of the breed. He has been a great board member and president.” Joe Rickabaugh, AHA director of field management and seedstock marketing, has known David for many years. “I had the privilege to work the summer of my junior year in college for Mill Creek Ranch and the Breiner family,” he says. “David is a staunch believer and supporter of the Hereford breed and is always striving to make his herd better and do a better job for his customers. “As president he has strived to hear the voices of many members — large and small from all across this country. He has traveled extensively
Q&A with AHA President Breiner In 2010 the American Hereford Association (AHA) Board approved a new strategic plan. What are your thoughts on this strategy? What are the top five tactics you hope the Board and staff continue to focus on? I think it’s very important to develop a strategic plan for long-term goals for our Association. The top five tactics I hope the Board and staff continue to focus on are: 1) Improve the overall quality, consistency, predictability and profitability of Hereford genetics. With the move of AHA’s DNA testing to GeneSeek Inc. and the breed’s initiative to develop genetic markers for measurable traits, we are moving forward in being able to increase the accuracy of breeding values in the Hereford breed. 2) Build strategic alliances. We are now working with GeneSeek to gain information through genomic-enhanced EPDs (expected progeny differences). And with help from the Hereford Research Foundation, we are able to fund feed efficiency testing and genomic EPD accuracies. Alliances with other breeds and universities enable us to work together for the betterment of the cattle industry. 3) Continue to grow CHB. We have made tremendous strides in the last two years with the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) program through increased marketing outlets, increased demand for whitefaced cattle and the CHB® product, and the overall profitability of CHB.

4) Enhance electronic data management system. We made the decision to change computer programs for data entry and registrations. This change was a learning curve for everyone, and we are continuing to make the process more user-friendly for our breeders. The move to a paperless data system is something that will need to be addressed in the future. The registration certificate, as we know it, is going to change. 5) Increase investment in member and customer education and service. As I said before, we are in the people and service industry, and we need to continue to find ways to educate and serve our breeders and their customers. How would you summarize your tenure on the Board? I have been fortunate to be a member of the AHA Board during a time that our breed has gained momentum because our breeders have taken the challenge to improve our breed to meet the needs of the beef cattle industry. The Hereford cattle today are more industry oriented than I have ever seen them during my time of being a Hereford breeder. As I have said many times in the past six years: “It’s an exciting time to be raising Herefords. We need to keep our knife sharp and don’t keep anything that you wouldn’t buy. We need to look ahead to the future needs of the beef industry and make sure our breed is in the forefront. If we continue to do that, then increasing market share and profitability of our membership should follow.” What do we need to work on as a breed? We need to continue to encourage our breeders to submit data to increase the accuracy of our database, find markers for cancer eye, embrace technology and constantly strive to promote the Hereford breed in order to continue to increase our market share.

attending events throughout the U.S. He’s a great cattleman that cherishes family, the Hereford breed and Kansas State University.” This past July David had the opportunity to represent AHA at two large Hereford events. First he attended the Junior National Hereford Expo in Grand Island, Neb., and then the World Hereford Conference (WHC) in Calgary, Canada. “The JNHE in Nebraska this summer was amazing,” David says. “The number of exhibitors, the quality of the cattle, the opportunities available for our junior members and the family atmosphere that surrounds that show are a wonderful testament to the Hereford breed and the interest our breed has gained in the last few years.” He adds that attending the WHC was an amazing opportunity to listen to how the Hereford breed has evolved in other
countries and how the AHA impacts the Hereford industry worldwide. “I have tried to attend as many Hereford activities as possible as AHA president,” he explains. “Working with the AHA Board of Directors has been a true highlight for me. This outstanding group works tirelessly for the betterment of the Hereford breed, and it has been my privilege to be a part of that.”
Looking forward David’s year as AHA President comes to an end on Nov. 3 during the 2012 Annual Meeting. Although he’s passing on the gavel, his dedication and loyalty to the Hereford breed will continue for many years to come. “After serving my year as AHA president, I will continue doing what I have always done — raise cattle, make them better, take care of my
What have been some of the biggest challenges during your tenure? Turning CHB LLC into a profitable entity is one thing I am most proud of. To make that happen, we had to make some tough choices as a Board. Another challenge has been the change to our new computer system. Computers are great when they work right and can be a real test when they don’t. The AHA data entry department should be commended for working through the computer issues and helping our membership understand the new system. Looking at what’s facing the Board and the industry in general, what challenges do you think Hereford leaders and Hereford members have to address? A recent article that I read stated that by the year 2050, everyone would be a vegetarian because there wouldn’t be enough water left to produce beef for human consumption. As a breed, we need to promote the importance of animal protein in everyone’s diet, continue to promote the positive attributes of the Hereford breed such as fertility, leanness and tenderness, and be spokesmen and women for our industry. If we, as beef producers, don’t educate the consumer about the health benefits of our product, who will? How do we continue to gain commercial market share? We must continue to search for the most profitable genetics and eliminate the problem genetics so when our customers purchase breeding stock, we are helping them improve their herds, which, consequently, increases their bottom lines. The heterosis value of whitefaced cattle has proven to give a 7% advantage over other breeds. Promotion of the black and red baldie is how we will gain commercial market share.

customers, help the Hereford breed increase market share as well as enjoy and spend time with my family,” David says. “Retirement is definitely not in my future as I enjoy production agriculture too much to ever quit.” HW
When you were elected to the Board, what were your goals for the Association? How has that changed? When I ran for the AHA Board, my goal was to increase market share and to help the organization be profitable. We have accomplished both of those goals, and I am very proud of that. While I served on the Board, CHB LLC became an important goal, and I am pleased that it has grown so much and is also profitable during my tenure. Of the programs offered by the Association, which do you think offer the most opportunity for members in the future? I think some of our important programs are: 1) Junior program. Our outstanding junior association is where the future leaders of our Hereford breed will come from. 2) CHB. The CHB program gives our breeders another way to market our product. 3) Genomic-enhanced EPDs. GE-EPDs will give our breeders more selection tools to help them make better breeding decisions. 4) AHA database. We need to encourage our members to continually turn in data that will make our EPDs more accurate. But our breeders need to understand that selection criteria is not single trait but rather encompasses data, visual appraisal and customer acceptance. What do you consider to be the most important accomplishments the Association has achieved during your tenure as a director and officer? The most important accomplishment would be the interest in Hereford genetics, which was driven by the advertising campaigns and research with universities and ranches like Circle A, Harris and Amana to prove the breed strengths. These research projects proved what heterosis can accomplish for the commercial cattleman. HW

It All Adds Up 2012 Annual Report
Hereford — It All Adds Up There’s no doubt about it: the Hereford bull, the Hereford-sired momma, the Hereford-sired feeder calf and Certified Hereford Beef are all adding up to be profit drivers in the beef industry today.
+ The Hereford bull, or “profitabull” as he is touted
in the 2012-14 national ad campaign, pays in so many ways. He’s a user-friendly package of docility, fertility and calving ease.
+ There’s nothing better than a Hereford momma,
whether straightbred or crossbred. Research has proven the cheapest and most profitable technology available to cattle producers today is maternal heterosis. Fertility, longevity, efficiency, herd health and pounds of calf weaned are unquestionable advantages of the Hereford female.
+ Hereford-sired feeder calves have hybrid vigor
and feed efficiency, and above all they demand a premium in the marketplace.
+ The Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) program has
experienced more than 20% growth in the last two years, helping to create demand for Hereford-sired calves in the marketplace.
All of this adds up to increased demand for Hereford genetics. Much of this can be attributed to the progress Hereford breeders have made during the last decade, and the American Hereford Association Board’s foresight to document the Hereford advantage in real‑world commercial research projects. On the following pages, you will see highlights of fiscal year 2012 and see for yourself how it all adds up. The year-end statistics prove it’s a great time to be a Hereford breeder. Let’s celebrate this year of growth, while continuing to stay focused on and committed to producing Hereford genetics that are “profitabull” for the commercial industry for many years to come.
Resurgence — The Numbers Despite back-to-back years of drought and escalating production costs in the beef industry, the Hereford breed is making a mighty resurgence. Hereford registrations were up more than 8% during the 2012 American Hereford Association (AHA) fiscal year that ended Aug. 31. This is the largest increase in more than 50 years. It is also interesting to note that the increase was achieved during a year when two of the top five states for registrations — Texas and Oklahoma — were down 10%. Registered cow herd inventories are up 3% compared to the previous year — with more than 101,000 females reported this fiscal year. Hereford breeders continue to experience a dramatic increase in production sale prices while reports of private-treaty sales continue to outpace the previous year reports.
A total of 182 Hereford production sales were reported by AHA field representatives this fiscal year. Bull sales averaged $4,671, up nearly $700, and females $3,329, up almost $300 per head. You’ll notice in the graph below that Hereford bull prices have doubled in the last 10 years — from $2,304 in 2002 to $4,671 in 2012.

Hereford semen demand in the commercial industry is also increasing. According to the National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB), Hereford semen sales increased 23% compared to last year. Since 2006 Hereford domestic semen sales have increased 86%, a testament to the increasing demand for Hereford genetics in the commercial industry.

2012 AHA Annual Report 1
Breed Improvement — Progress Through Performance, Technology Hereford breeders — along with strategic direction from the AHA Board of Directors and, specifically, the breed improvement committee — have engineered a product that fits today’s industry. Today the Hereford breed is poised to provide as much value to the commercial industry as any other breed with its combination advantages of fertility, feed efficiency, good disposition and an end product that will complement a vast array of quality beef programs across the country.
Helping with this progress has been the AHA’s Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program. Now 11 years old, the program has helped the AHA and Hereford breeders build a database that documents the breed’s strengths. More and more Hereford breeders continue to go above status quo and submit ultrasound data, body condition scores, udder scores and cow weights, which all add to the integrity and accuracy of the AHA database.
AHA has partnered with Simplot Livestock Co. on a research project to document the benefits of using calving ease Hereford sires in a large-scale, predominately Angus heifer program. In the project, young and unproven Hereford sires are being compared to Angus sires. During the first year of the project, eight Hereford sires were bred to nearly 500 virgin heifers. The first set of calves was born in the spring of 2012.
While the extreme drought conditions and escalating operating costs have many within the industry under a crunch, there is an increasing awareness that breed complementarity and hybrid vigor from crossbreeding are inexpensive decisions that can make an enormous difference in the profitability of a commercial operation.
2 2012 AHA Annual Report
Real-world research pays off Because the AHA Board of Directors placed a resource emphasis on breed improvement and industry research, the Hereford breed now has the single largest database for cow fertility and productivity in the world. The Association has documented the inherent economic traits in the breed that can deliver efficiency to the industry at a time when the industry needs it most. More importantly, the AHA membership has adopted technology and made strides in genetic improvement that have positioned Hereford as a breed of choice for commercial producers looking to add heterosis to their Angus-based cow herds. The AHA continues to cooperate with Olsen Ranches Inc., Stahly Ranch and Circle A Ranch to test young sires as part of the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP). The AHA is also participating in a long-term project with Simplot Livestock Co. to determine how Hereford bulls perform when bred to black heifers. After the first year of data, lowbirth-weight Hereford bulls stacked up to Angus-heifer bulls in calving ease and vigor scores when bred to Angus first-calf heifers. The calves will be followed through the entire production system. On the cutting edge: genomic research, new EPDs released This fiscal year, AHA released genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). The AHA genomic approach is the first of its kind to work with the scientific community and the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium (NBCEC) to build its own training and validation population. This approach is important because AHA now has access to all of the Hereford — It All Adds Up
genotypes, phenotypes and pedigrees, which will allow the Association and its members to continue to train and build the Hereford-specific panel. More than 1,200 Herefords have been 50k genotyped and eight sires wholegenome sequenced. This population has been used to train and validate the Hereford-specific panel. Dorian Garrick, Iowa State University Lush Chair in animal breeding and genetics and NBCEC executive director, has led the research and development. According to Garrick, AHA took a proactive approach by testing and validating the tools available to make sure when releasing a Hereford genomic product it was reliable and useful to AHA members. During this process, the Association aligned itself with researchers and worked collaboratively with the NCBEC, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Meat Animal Research Center and other global Hereford associations. In late June AHA transitioned its DNA testing to GeneSeek Inc., located in Lincoln, Neb. Because of this move, Hereford breeders have the option to utilize a 50k panel to obtain genomic information to enhance the accuracy of Hereford EPDs. The genomic information obtained is blended with conventional EPDs to produce the GE-EPDs that are available on all traits reported by the AHA. The Association’s role is to give its members tools to make improvement in beef production. GE-EPDs are the next phase in breed improvement strategies that will allow members to continue to improve the genetics they produce. Another new trait released this fiscal year was the mature cow weight (MCW) EPD. It is designed to allow breeders to select sires that will either increase or decrease mature size of cows in the herd. Hereford — It All Adds Up
The Hereford media event Sept. 19-20, 2011, focused on how Hereford is taking a global leadership role in developing genetic evaluation tools and included updates on heterosis research, breed improvement strategies and demand trends. Media professionals representing 350,000 magazine subscribers, thousands of unique website users, nearly 100,000 online e-newsletter subscribers and more than 300 radio affiliates in 12 states attended the event. The event was hosted at Olsen Ranches Inc., Harrisburg, Neb., a longtime National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) test herd.
The AHA communication team works to increase the awareness of the Hereford advantage. Utilizing the Hereford World, Hereford.org, national advertising and social media, the team’s goal is to create top-of-mind awareness about how Herefords can add profit to a commercial producer’s breeding program.
2012 AHA Annual Report 3
End Product Demand — CHB LLC Experiences Record Growth in 2012 Fiscal year 2012 was excellent for Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC, despite a challenging economy. CHB LLC posted a record year in volume at 47 million lb. sold — a 17.5% increase and 2 million lb. higher than the previous record of 45 million lb. This record volume translates to the program influencing the marketing of more than 350,000 head of cattle.
Foodservice was the big winner with 27% growth and a total of 14 million lb. sold. Retail increased by 14% for a total of 33 million lb. sold. 2012 proved to be a very successful year in both growth and exposure for the brand. The CHB® brand continues to increase in recognition with
the consumer. This recognition translates to increased benefits to CHB retailers and distributors who feature the CHB name and logo. One of the greatest areas of growth occurred with The Fresh Market, a specialty grocery retailer, currently with 124 locations in 24 states. Furthermore, retail growth of CHB occurred among many independent retailers in the west Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma markets, which are supplied by Affiliated Foods Inc., Amarillo, Texas. In addition, 244,624 head of cattle were certified through the program this fiscal year. Currently CHB is offered in 253 retail supermarkets in 37 states as well as 37 foodservice distribution centers serving restaurants in 25 states. Since the inception of CHB, 4.2 million head of cattle have been identified through licensed packing plants as meeting the live animal specifications to carry the CHB name.

Hereford — It All Adds Up
Youth — Developing Future Leaders Sixty Hereford youth from 23 states and Canada participated in the 2012 Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention July 30-Aug. 2 in East Lansing, Mich. A highlight of the event was visiting Michigan State University and the historic Purebred Beef Barn.
The McMahon family of Belle Point Ranch, Ft. Smith, Ark., generously supported the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) by purchasing the embryo package for $20,000 during the Mile High Night Sale in Denver. The McMahon family graciously donated the 20 embryos back to HYFA, and another $8,752 was raised for Hereford youth during the BuyHereford.com auction March 8.
During the year, more than $51,000 was distributed to Hereford youth in scholarship monies provided through HYFA. Hereford — It All Adds Up
During fiscal year 2012, HYFA approved a new strategic plan and launched a new website — Herefordyouthfoundation.org. The new mission statement is to “Encourage, recognize and reward the development of life skills and values in the next generation of leaders by providing education, scholarship and leadership opportunities for Hereford youth.” The vision statement is to be “Recognized as the world’s premier foundation for creating growth and development opportunities for youth in the cattle industry.”
More than 660 Hereford youth and their families traveled to Grand Island, Neb., July 2-8 for the 2012 VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). A record-setting 1,231 entries were exhibited. During the week, Hereford youth also participated in 23 contests outside the showring. Owned female judge Eldon Krebs, Gordon, Neb., said about the show, “No woman or man has ever had the distinct privilege of witnessing an event like this. I’ve judged a lot of shows; I’ve judged a lot of breed events, and I’ve never seen this many good heifers under one roof.” 2012 AHA Annual Report 5

Hereford — It All Adds Up
Nature of Operations The American Hereford Association (AHA) conducts research and experiments in the breeding of Hereford cattle, compiles and preserves pedigree records for owners and breeders, participates in and promotes the arrangement of fairs, exhibitions and cattle shows to encourage the breeding of Hereford cattle, and assists with the promotion of the end product produced from Hereford cattle. Members and subscribers of the Association are primarily owners and breeders of Hereford cattle. The members and subscribers are located worldwide; however, the largest concentration is within the United States. Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) provides publication services to Hereford cattle ranches and publishes a monthly magazine. The Association is the sole member of Certified Hereford Beef ® LLC (CHB). CHB strives to increase demand for Hereford cattle by promoting Hereford beef as a premium beef product under the Certified Hereford Beef ® trademark. CHB was formed as a limited liability company on September 1, 2001. Prior to that date, CHB’s activities were performed and accounted for within the Association. American Beef Records Association (ABRA) provides computer consultation in herd planning and management, breeding services and marketing for commercial livestock. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include AHA and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI), Certified Hereford Beef® LLC (CHB) and American Beef Records Association (ABRA) collectively referred to as the Association. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Management Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used. Advertising Costs The Association expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense was $358,973 and $478,702 as of August 31, 2012 and 2011. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The Association reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets. • Unrestricted net assets are funds available for any purpose. • Temporarily restricted net assets represent contributions whose use by the Association is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that either expire by passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions of the Association pursuant to those stipulations. When a stipulated restriction ends or purpose of restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the Statement of Activities as net assets released from restrictions. • Permanently restricted net assets — At August 31, 2012 and 2011, the Association had no permanently restricted net assets. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Association considers all money market investments and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investments amounting to $91,580 and $83,986 were considered to be cash equivalents as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of amounts billed for magazine advertising, subscriptions and member services, but not received by year-end. Bad debts are provided on the allowance method based on management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of each year. HPI’s policy states that accounts with outstanding balances beyond 60 days will accrue interest at 1.5% per month, balances beyond 90 days will no longer be provided with services and balances beyond 120 days will be turned over to a collection agency. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $5,979 and $5,566 as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Investments Investments are comprised of debt securities and are carried at fair value. The fair value of investments is based on quoted fair prices for those investments or similar investments as of August 31, 2012 and 2011. Gains or losses on sales of investments are determined on a specific cost identification method. Unrealized gains and losses are determined based on year-end market values. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The assets are depreciated and amortized over periods ranging from 3 to 30 years. Additions and improvements of $1,000 or more are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the asset are expensed in the year incurred. Depreciation charged against income amounted to $157,162 and $128,469 in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenue Recognition The Association recognizes service fee revenue over the applicable accounting period to which the services relate. Unearned revenues related to Association services and publication subscriptions and advertising of HPI are reflected as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
2012 AHA Annual Report 7
Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing the various programs and activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the Consolidated Statement of Activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the program services and supporting activities benefited. Income Taxes AHA, ABRA, and CHB are exempt from federal income taxes on their primary operations under paragraph 501(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore have made no provision for federal or state income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. They are, however, subject to income taxes on any net income from unrelated business activities. AHA, ABRA, and CHB have been classified by the Internal Revenue Service as organizations that are not private foundations. HPI is a taxable entity and is, therefore, subject to federal income taxes. It is HPI’s policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. At August 31, 2011 and 2010, HPI believes it has appropriately accounted for any unrecognized tax benefits. To the extent HPI prevails in matters for which a liability for unrecognized tax benefit is established or is required to pay amounts in excess of the liability, HPI’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be affected. 2 — Concentration of Credit Risk
Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of HPI’s assets and liabilities. Differences are primarily attributable to the net operating loss carryforwards, resulting in deferred tax assets. The components of the deferred tax assets are as follows: Deferred Tax Assets Net operating loss carryforwards Less: Valuation Allowance
August 31, 2012 August 31, 2011 $162,999 $176,183 (162,999) (176,183) $ – $–
HPI utilized net operating losses of approximately $96,052 and $0 for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. HPI has net operating loss carryforwards of $479,408 available to offset future federal and state taxable income that expire through 2023 as follows: Year Amount Year Amount $ 62,233 2016 116,294 2013 2014 157,696 2017 29,681 95,052 Thereafter 18,452 2015 $479,408
The Association maintains cash accounts at a bank located in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The balances in the bank periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits. The FDIC insured limits were $250,000 at August 31, 2012 and 2011. The Association’s uninsured cash balances totaled $0 at August 31, 2012 and 2011.
The Association files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various U.S. state jurisdictions. The Association is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities generally for a period of three years after filing of the tax returns.
3 — Fair Value Measurements
Temporarily restricted net assets are funds donated for the purpose of awarding $2,500 annually to the champion of the National Western Stock Show in Denver. The balance of temporarily restricted net assets was $5,008 and $5,000 as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Fair values of assets measured on a recurring basis at August 31, 2012 and 2011 are: August 31, 2012 Fair Value Government bonds and notes $848,380 $906,055 Corporate bonds $176,612 Fixed Income Securities Total $1,931,047
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) $848,380 $906,055 $176,612 $1,931,047
August 31, 2011 Government bonds and notes $985,140 Corporate bonds $662,755 Total $1,647,895
$985,140 $662,755 $1,647,895
Investments consist of government and corporate bonds and notes which are carried at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. Unrealized gains/losses in the amount of $9,349 and ($333) were recorded to adjust investments to fair value for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These investments are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term. 4 — Retirement Plan
The Association established a defined contribution employee retirement plan for all eligible employees. The plan provides for employer and employee contributions based upon a percentage of annual compensation. Employer contributions for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011 were $77,452 and $78,307, respectively. 5 — Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt consists of the following at August 31: 2012 Notes - vehicles, collateralized by related vehicles, interest fixed at 4.99%, maturing from September 2012 through August 2015 $91,104 46,023 Current portion Total Long-Term Debt $45,081
2011 $91,553 41,937 $49,616
Scheduled maturities of principal payments on the liabilities are as follows: Year Amount Year Amount FYE 2013 $46,023 FYE 2016 – FYE 2014 30,827 FYE 2017 – 14,254 Thereafter – FYE 2015 $91,104 Interest expense was $3,423 and $4,304 for the years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
6 — Income Taxes
The provisions for income taxes consist of the following components for the years ended August 31: 2012 2011 Current $– $– Deferred 13,184 13,203 Temporary differences Change in valuation allowance (13,184) (13,203) $ – $–
7 — Temporarily Restricted Net Assets
8 — Collections
The Association has a collection of artwork, appraised at approximately $640,500, at August 31, 2012 and 2011, that is on public display at the Association’s headquarters. The most recent appraisal is as of August 2011. The Association has adopted a policy of not capitalizing the collection of artwork in its financial statements. Accordingly, no collection items are recognized as assets, whether they are purchased or received as a donation. Purchases of collection items reduce net assets in the period when purchased. No items were purchased for or removed from the collection during the years ended August 31, 2012 or 2011. The Association insures these collections with a policy that has a face value consistent with the appraised values. 9 — Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year financial statements. 10 — Subsquent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events through October 4, 2012, the date which the financial statements were available for issue. There have been no events which require disclosure.
Independent Auditor’s Report
Board of Directors/American Hereford Association/Kansas City, Mo.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of American Hereford Association and subsidiaries as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Association’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Hereford Association and subsidiaries as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. — Respectfully submitted, Kennedy and Coe, LLC, October 4, 2012 Pursuant to its bylaws, AHA submits the above financial information for its members as of the close of the fiscal years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011. — American Hereford Association, Craig Huffhines, executive vice president
The tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying statutory rates to income before income taxes because of the valuation allowance applied against the deferred income tax assets.

• The Hoffman family has offered a flush to some of their best donors through this sale and this year is no exception. Here is “Cherry,” the full sister to Cracker Jack and a flushmate to the $20,000 heifer that sold in a past Mile High sale. • This has been a tremendous donor that produced the second high selling heifer calf in the 2010 Genetic Opportunity sale, second high selling heifer in the 2011 Fall Preview sale and one of the top sellers in the 2012 Delaney bull sale. This spring she produced 30 embryos sired by Redeem. She is a power cow with performance, volume and femininity and she is in the prime of her life! She has been a prolific, fertile egg producer and has stuck on her first AI service every time, maintaining a 359-day calving interval while being flushed the last three years. Whether you are looking for a cow to build a herd around or to add to your front pasture, then here is a female for you. Her full brother and Hoffman herd sire, Cracker Jack, produced the featured Lots 1-5 in the very successful Hoffman/W4 production sale bringing $44,000, $35,000,
$20,000, $19,500 and $9,000. This is a great opportunity to get a jump up on the competition. • The buyer of this flush will receive a minimum of six (6) embryos and minimum of three (3) pregnancies when done by an accredited technician. The cost of the flush and semen is the buyer’s responsibility. If buyer chooses semen from a Hoffman owned sire, it will be provided by Hoffman Ranch. The flush will take place at the donor/flushing facility at the Hoffman/W4 Ranch in Thedford, Neb. If the buyer chooses, recipients are available by seller at cost. Implantation and calving of the progeny are also available at cost by the seller. Please contact Jason or Denny Hoffman about this option. This is all at cost to the buyer and is only an option. The buyer can take the embryos and use their own recipients and calve them out if they desire.

• This is a rare opportunity to capitalize on a great Line 1 cow that was purchased from Holden Herefords this past year. HH Miss Advance 5162R ET was one of the top cows that came out of the donor program at Holden Herefords. She weaned off a natural 8203U calf at 795 lb. We are truly excited to have 5162R in our donor program and believe that she will be a huge asset in your donor program. 5162R is a maternal sister to the high selling females in the Holden 2005 and 2008 Female Sales. She is a big ribbed, nice fronted cow with a great udder. This female is the right type to produce some great foundation females or powerful progeny with showring style. We have successfully flushed her to Outcross, Grizzly, and Payback, averaging 12 great embryos per flush.
• The buyer is guaranteed six (6) embryos with a minimum of three (3) pregnancies when done by an accredited technician. Anything over six embryos will be split with Morrell Ranches. Semen and flush costs are at the buyer’s responsibility. Flushing of the cow shall be done at Morrell Ranches.

• This is your opportunity to get in on the ground floor of one of the new, exciting and upcoming donors at Split Butte!! Athena, or more passionately referred to around Split Butte as “Paula,” is a top Remedy 75R daughter and Erin 54E granddaughter. LAMBERT REMEDY 2030 75R {DLF,HYF,IEF} C LR DIESEL 2030 ET {DLF,IEF} This tremendous young female has had quite the beginning. She was the OJJ ATHENA 318X {DLF,HYF,IEF} CS VICKI 637B 34K top selling lot and Kenny’s selection of the OJJ Ranch’s offering in their P43116361 SB 32N ERIN 139R ET SB 122L PRIDE LINE 32N ET consignment to the Wooden Shoe sale in fall 2010. Soon after the purchase, RU 20X ERIN 54E Kenny and Paula formed a partnership with Bennett Holt which allowed CE BW WW YW MM M&G MCE MCW SC FAT REA MARB BMI$ CEZ$ BII$ CHB$ Ben to exhibit Paula as his show heifer for the 2011 season. Paula went on -5.8 5.3 49 88 21 46 2.3 98 0.4 -0.023 0.50 -0.03 10 8 9 22 to be very successful in the showring, being named Champion at all the P .21 .17 .16 .08 P .12 .09 .11 .11 .10 local, state and regional level shows, including winning the Idaho, Frank Rodgers traveling trophy as 2011 Show Heifer of the Year. Paula was also CE BW WW YW MM M&G MCE MCW SC FAT REA MARB BMI$ CEZ$ BII$ CHB$ very competitive at the national level, showing in Reno and JNHE in 1.6 3.7 54 81 23 50 2.3 82 0.5 0.017 0.42 -0.06 13 15 10 22 Kansas City. .09 .31 .20 .20 .11 .07 .16 .09 .12 .12 .11 • Paula calved early in February 2012 and the maternal power and genetic background came to fruition. With donor females Erin 54E and Dots Pride 0002 as grandams in her pedigree, her ability to milk and perform in the pasture were a given and she did not disappoint. She weaned her heifer calf at over 800 lb. and is producing well in the embryo program where we are expecting embryo calves by North Face and Shock Wave in 2013. • The sire side of this mating needs no introduction as well; the most talked about bull calf in Denver, named Reserve National Champion at the NWSS, STAR Shock Wave 13Y ET. A bull that combines the power and performance we have all come to expect of his sire, Shock & Awe with the maternal balance, smaller birth weight and eye appeal we are very familiar with here at Split Butte in his Battle Ground 2013 dam. We feel like this mating is made for today’s Hereford industry: power, performance, maternal excellence and phenotype! • Selling two packages of four, No. 1 embryos, one as a consignment, the other as a donation to the Reno show and sale. The donation is in appreciation of the Hereford family who valiantly supported us over the past year. Your friendship provided inspiration and energy that we will cherish forever!

• This little girl is smoking hot. She has a neck on her like a giraffe and tons of rib and butt. Her great-grandmother was the Wilma cow that won Reno in 1994, went on to win a division in Denver and was the high selling female that year. The bottom side of the pedigree is a no-miss cow family. I would not sell this little gal but her mother is only two and I am sure she will make more. It has been a tough year in eastern Oregon with the drought and fires and yet this young cow will come sliding in to home plate with a near 700 lb. 205-day weight on her first calf! She is red, short-marked and has good straight hair. • She sells open.

• We are excited to offer “Primrose,” a super fancy daughter of the history-making sire, SHF Rib Eye M326 R117. Her dam is a very productive 5-year-old cow with an extra notch of rib and capacity. She is bred to convert native mountain forage into milk. As a show heifer prospect, Lot 13 was named 2012 Western Idaho Fair Reserve Champion Female, 2012 Eastern Idaho Fair Reserve Division Champion and 2012 Utah State Fair Champion Hereford Female. Three different judges evaluated her almost identically: feminine, powerful and correct. This female will work for anyone! • She sells open.
