The Next Step Ten years. It’s hard to believe in October I began my 11th year serving this organization and breed of cattle that I’m so passionate about. It’s been an amazing opportunity and a pleasure to lead the Hereford World editorial content for the past 10 years. I love sharing stories about our members and the challenge of explaining the technical genetic issues so even my dad can understand. My goal has always been for readers to find at least one tip in each issue to incorporate into their breeding or marketing programs to help them become more successful. I’ve enjoyed writing about the Harris, Circle A and Simplot research project results. These projects are the fuel that is igniting our growth and acceptance in the commercial industry today.

Thank you Through the years, I’ve been blessed to work with several individuals who have helped take my vision for each issue and make it a reality. As I transition my role within the American Hereford Association (AHA), I have to share my sincere appreciation for and gratitude to three amazing women who have played such an important role on our editorial team. First is Christy Benigno, Hereford World editorial designer and assistant; every editorial page you read in the Hereford World has had her creative touch. She can take words and photos and make magic. I think the two of us

/ November 2014

have some sort of telepathic connection because many times she knows what I want her to do before I ask. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her. Our assistant editor for the last seven years has been Sara Gugelmeyer. She is so talented at taking ideas and source suggestions and getting the story. I appreciate the contributions she has made and will continue to make to the editorial direction of the magazine. And, I can’t forget Judy Waters, our English guru, who has had the tough job of keeping us grammatically correct. There are numerous others who have played an important role in getting the magazine to your door during my tenure as editor. I truly appreciate the editorial team we have assembled. In my opinion, there’s not a better one in the country. I’ve also enjoyed working with the new editor, Julie White, the last couple of weeks, as she has helped me finish this issue before taking the reins of the December issue. There’s no doubt in my mind the magazine is in good hands with a fellow Kansas State University graduate at the helm. It’s been an unbelievable honor to serve as editor of the Hereford World and an experience I’ll never forget.

Moving forward I wish all Hereford breeders could have been in Springfield, Mo., Sept. 4-5. What an inspiring, motivational and stimulating event. If you missed it, check out the event highlights in the October Hereford World or

at HerefordGeneticSummit.com. During the Summit, Jack Ward, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement, said, “It’s no time to sit down and relax; it’s going to be full-footdown, pedal to the metal to continue to bring the genetics that the commercial industry demands.” Along with this fullthrottle approach to Hereford breed improvement, there needs to be a similar aggressive approach with Hereford marketing and promotion. It’s time to put the “pedal to the metal” and promote Hereford advantages beyond the pages of the Hereford World. It’s time for a more dedicated communication and marketing plan to help continue to increase demand for Hereford genetics, and I’m so excited about the opportunity to assume the role fulltime as director of communications and public relations. As you read the Annual Report included in this issue, the numbers prove “it’s a great time to be in the Hereford business.” Because of the vision and commitment made by Hereford breeders and AHA Board members and staff, not only is it a great time to be in the Hereford business today, but I honestly believe the most exciting time to be in the Hereford business will be tomorrow. I look forward to being part of the fuel that helps intensify Hereford’s success in the marketplace for years to come.

by Craig Huffhines, executive vice president chuffhin@hereford.org

Craig Huffhines

Beef — It’s a Luxury Consumer trends were a major topic of discussion at the Hereford Genetic Summit in September. American consumers are changing their meal solutions due to the higher cost of beef and a changing demographic with more ethnic influence. The meat-and-potatoes era that most of us grew up in is swiftly vanishing. In fact, during the summit, John Lundeen, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) senior executive director of market research, said that the good old-fashioned pot roast has declined in favored-meal status from 4.6 every three months in 2003 to 3.3 in 2013. The average consumer is eating roast only once per month. Ground beef consumption continues to grow as a percent of total meals primarily because of its price point and its ability to be utilized as an ingredient in so many traditional and ethnic meals. So what else is trending with consumers? Smaller more frequent meals, which equate to smaller portions; a desire to know where their meat comes from; high-quality gourmet hamburgers; ethnicstyle meals; and the fact that when they do eat steak, they want it to be high quality.

Focused on quality Meat quality is an area that is squarely in the wheelhouse of seedstock breeders. It’s also an area the Hereford breed could definitely put more emphasis on. Consumer expectation of quality is directly correlated to meal cost, and beef prices are at unprecedented levels.

/ November 2014

Recently, I stopped into a Hen House market to purchase a Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) brisket and paid more than $5 per lb. That’s what high-quality top sirloin steak retailed at just two years ago. Ribeye steaks were priced at $12.95 per lb. Steak has become a luxury for most American households. At those kinds of prices, any bad eating experiences could mean they don’t eat steak again for months. Marbling is the primary driver of quality after genetics for tenderness. Unfortunately, tenderness is not measured as a factor in the U.S. quality grade system. Quality grade has always been determined by marbling and age or maturity of the animal as determined by ossification of the skeleton. While CHB LLC has done an exceptional job of selling Select or higher beef with undisputable consumer satisfaction, Choice is still the preferred grade of beef even among most CHB LLC clients, particularly in the restaurant industry. Why? Because it provides an assurance that the steak will not dry out when taken to higher levels of cooking doneness. Any chef will tell you that the extra marbling in the middle meats is simply an “insurance policy.” The Hereford breed is fortunate to possess inherent beef quality traits that assure a great eating experience and most of it comes from the ability to produce a very tender steak. Although the Hereford breed has made strides in improving percentage of Choice-graded carcasses, the breed has been at a disadvantage compared to the other dominant U.S. beef

breed — Angus — as it relates to marbling. Today, multiple industry surveys suggest that the nation’s cow herd is nearly 80% black-hide color, predominantly Angus. Second place is Hereford at 27%. The single biggest driver of the momentous 30-year trend for the Angus breed has been based for the most part on one value determinant trait — marbling. Quality grade, or more specifically the percentage of Choice- and upper-two-thirds-Choicegraded carcasses, has been the single biggest demand driver for the Angus breed. For decades order buyers, feedlot operators and, for that matter, every livestock judging team coach in America has touted the value advantage in black-hided cattle that have a higher propensity to grade Choice. Empirical data would bear that out over the years and, consequently, the entire marketing complex has rewarded black-hided animals because of their Choicegrading ability. Randy Blach, CattleFax CEO, said at the summit, “Markets are incredibly efficient. They respond very rapidly to the realities of the marketplace.” Unquestionably, not only American but international consumers as well prefer high quality or adequately marbled beef compared to leaner, less marbled beef. The price spread between Prime, Choice and Select beef is proof of this preference. On average the difference during the course of a year between Choice and Select carcass value is around $8 per hundredweight (cwt.) — $64 continued on page 8... Hereford.org

The Hereford breed is currently in a position to narrow the gap in quality grade among the black-hide complex. For one, the breed has the genetic ability to produce Choice beef.

Secondly, the technology and data collection are present to identify genetics that can move the population. For example, Olsen Ranch, Harrisburg, Neb., National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) participants, have doubled the percent of Choice-graded carcasses over a 10-year span. See Graph 1. This feat has not been accomplished by single-trait selection but simply by putting minimum requirements on marbling EPD (expected progeny difference) and being consistent. Through genomic-enhanced EPD (GE-EPDs) technology, the EPDs might even become more accurate for younger animals that possess the marbling genes and be easier to improve. Not unlike what the breed has accomplished in calving ease, marbling will improve once breeders take it seriously and make it a part of their selection decisions. HW

The American Hereford Association (AHA) strategic plan is the road map Board and staff members use when considering new programs and ideas. The breed improvement committee continues to focus on Core Strategy 1: Improve the overall quality, consistency, predictability and profitability of Hereford genetics as well as Objective A: Increase the accuracy of breeding values in young cattle and manage functional defect rates by developing a plan for including genomic information into genetic evaluation. The first genomicenhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) were released by the AHA in the fall of 2012. Since that time, the AHA has worked closely with the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium (NBCEC) and other science communities to incorporate the most reliable genomic information into PACE (PanAmerican Cattle Evaluation) at an affordable cost.

During the Hereford Genetic Summit, attendees were posed with the question, “At what cost would you consider genomic testing (GE-EPD) at least 50% of a calf crop?” More than 90% of the group said they would consider this option if the cost of the test was $55. Starting on Oct. 1, 2014, that cost became a reality. So, today, Hereford breeders have a new price schedule for DNA testing (see “AHA DNA testing prices” table). The reason for this reduction in cost is that a new 30K LD (low density) product has been built and produced by GeneSeek. The 30K panel will allow us to impute to 50K at this point to produce molecular breeding values (MBVs) that will be used to produce GE-EPDs. Dorian Garrick, Iowa State University Lush chair in animal breeding and genetics and National Beef Cattle Consortium executive director, has completed the research on the imputation process, and GeneSeek has the software in place for imputation. Currently, we will use the same prediction equation, and the efficacy will be nearly the same. Please also note that, today, the HD 77K product has been used, and when we update the correlations, it will be our plan to impute all animals tested to 77K. So, what does all of this really mean? This price and platform change will continue to allow breeders to access one more tool but at a much more affordable price

to make EPDs more reliable and to make breeding and marketing much more precise on younger animals. Long term, we may need to adopt a policy to test high accuracy sires with HD in order to make recalibration of the prediction equation better, but we will let science tell us the best approach when we get there. During the Summit, I presented a few slides on the value of adding GE-EPDs to commercial bulls. I took all bull sales reported to the AHA by regional field staff in the central and western U.S., put a $15,000 upper limit on price so that the data were not skewed and then looked at the value of a bull that was GE-EPD tested compared to the overall average price of those bulls. The total number of bulls reported was 2,787 head, and as you can see in Graph 1, the difference in value of those bulls tested was more than $2,100. As Don Schiefelbein said during the Summit, “The No. 1 rule of business is those who write the checks write the rules.” Your customers want more confidence when buying. It is important, however, to remember that EPDs are still based on three components. Those are pedigree, phenotypes and now genomics. All of these are important components, and a breeder should not substitute one for another. Keep collecting data at all levels of production, and provide your customers with all information.

MEMBER SERVICE

by Christy Bradshaw, AHA education coordinator cbradshaw@hereford.org

Whole Herd Total Performance Record (TPR) deadline Dec. 1 is the final date to submit all spring 2013 dam reproductive status and weaning information. Remember each cow enrolled in the spring 2013 inventory must have a live calf reported or a reproductive status for no calf; therefore, each calf out of a dam listed on the spring 2013 inventory is required to

submit a weaning weight or a proper disposal code.

Register now for MyHerd.org MyHerd is a real-time registry system providing member 24/7 access to the majority of American Hereford Association (AHA) record services. Members can register and transfer animals electronically, stay up-to-date with TPR requirements

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

FAQ Q: When should the actual weaning weight be taken? A: The actual weaning weight should be taken between 110 and 300 days of age. Animals weighed outside of this age span will be marked irregular for weaning ratio. Q: I am using MyHerd, and I am a performance member trying to complete my calving records. How do I report a crossbred calf out of one of my registered Hereford cows listed on my TPR inventory? A: As a performance breeder it’s important to give credit to each cow on inventory which calved out. For cows bred to a sire of another breed, report the calf as unregistered and leave the sire field blank. MyHerd will process the calf’s record and display a warning message saying the sire field is empty; click the override button to complete the calf’s record. Q: As a performance member, is it required to turn in weaning weights for embryo transplant (ET) calves? A: Weaning weights are only required from ET calves if they are reported out of a “known” Hereford recipient cow; in other words, the recipient cow is registered and enrolled in a breeder’s current TPR cow herd inventory. ET calves out of “unknown” recipient cows are not required to turn in weaning weights for TPR compliance. HW

“CHB Bites” is a column designed to keep you in-the-know about Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) program happenings. You can also follow CHB on Facebook at facebook.com/CertifiedHerefordBeef.

CHB hosts Brazilian-style BBQ during Hereford Genetic Summit At the Hereford Genetic Summit in Springfield, Mo., Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) took center stage during the tailgate party on Sept. 4. The CHB LLC team built a Brazilian-style pit to cook some great CHB during the Thursday night event. The pit stayed busy as the team served more than 300 portions in two hours. The next day, Andrew Brooks, CHB LLC vice president of marketing, hosted a CHB culinary class and grill-off. More than 30 participants learned about CHB, the best ways to cook it, how to light the perfect charcoal fire, and the 29 lean cuts of beef. For more about the Summit, see the October Hereford World, or visit HerefordGeneticSummit.com.

Farm to Fork Sysco Minnesota highlighted Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) at its Sysco Minnesota Ingredients for Success meeting on Sept. 23. Food isn’t the only thing that comes in a Sysco truck. The company prides itself on delivering ingredients for success. One of those ingredients is protein and Sysco’s No. 1 protein is CHB. “Sysco Minnesota has seen double-digit growth in the beef category since bringing on Certified Hereford Beef,” says June Dunn, Sysco center of the plate specialist. “We have never had a program have this much immediate impact on our sales. Overall, this has been a dream come true for a salesperson, and I would like to personally thank Certified Hereford Beef for giving Sysco Minnesota the opportunity to sell this wonderful product.” Dunn says she thinks customers are drawn to the CHB product because of its local ties, as well as its flavor and consistency. “I think the fact that there are many Hereford

ranches in this area is a huge advantage for us, as the customers can relate to them,” Dunn explains. “The customers’ response has been amazing! Once they tried it and saw for themselves how tender, juicy and consistent it is, they were sold.”

Hereford-influenced cattle promoted at Superior Auction’s Labor Day Sale CHB LLC sponsored a trade show booth during the Superior Livestock Auction Labor Day XXXV Sale Sept. 11-12. Trey Befort, CHB LLC supply chain manager, represented the program at this cattle auction featuring more than 64,600 head of calves, feeder cattle and breeding stock. The auction was broadcast live from the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Denver-Thornton. The auction sold consignments from Hereford producers in 32 states. HW

JNHE Heads to Nebraska for ‘Hereford Nation’ I love the fall — state fairs, the beginning of a new school year and, my personal favorite, sale season and picking out next year’s show prospects. During the fall, many junior members and their families spend hours in the pasture and at sale facilities picking out “the one” to take to their favorite show. My favorite show is the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). This past July, Hereford enthusiasts attended “A Sweet Family Tradition” in Harrisburg, Pa. At the event more than 600 participants from across the country exhibited 1,128 head of cattle and participated in 24 contests outside the showring.

Hereford enthusiasts from around the nation coming together to share their passion for the breed. Plans are also underway for the 2016 JNHE, which will be hosted in Madison, Wis. “A Hereford Scene in 2016” will be July 9-16.

Booking hotel rooms

Whether it was a participant’s first time exhibiting or his last, the JNHE is an event that offers something for everyone. From testing Hereford knowledge in the Hereford bowl, showing off culinary skills in the CHB grill-off or battling it out in the showmanship ring, the JNHE highlights Hereford exhibitors’ talents in all aspects. In 2015 the JNHE will return to the Nebraska State Fairgrounds for “Hereford Nation” in Grand Island June 26 to July 3. The road leading up to the 2015 JNHE will be filled with preparation, friendships — new and old — and, of course,

To simplify the rooming process for JNHE exhibitors and their families, the American Hereford Association has contracted with Location Solvers to serve as the housing authority for both the 2015 and 2016 JNHEs. To book rooms in the 2015 or 2016 JNHE hotel blocks, please call 877-676-5676, ext. 4, or e-mail reservations@locationsolvers.com. Please reach out to Location Solvers rather than calling the hotels directly, as they will be able to assist with securing the best rate at the three host hotels, see “2015 JNHE headquarters hotels.” Mark your calendars. We hope to see you all in Grand Island to celebrate the “Hereford Nation” and the following year in Madison. HW

NHW Passing on the Baton The song “Auld Lang Syne” always conjures up friendship memories at the beginning of a new year, but it is just as appropriate when the National Hereford Women (NHW) board of directors say goodbye to retiring members and welcome new members during the organization’s annual meeting each fall. This event is just one of several that were on the board’s agenda Oct. 31 to Nov. 2, during the American Royal in Kansas City, Mo. November is the month of leadership changes for NHW. Carol Priefert, NHW president, presented the gavel to President-elect Alise Nolan during the organization’s annual meeting on Saturday, Nov. 1. “I am so pleased to have served as NHW’s president during the last year, and I know that there is not a more qualified person to pass the gavel to than Alise,” Priefert says. “She has great leadership qualities, enthusiasm and experience she brings to the position. The NHW is truly blessed.” Priefert says she is grateful for the board being forward thinking and the positive results it means for NHW’s mission — supporting

Hereford youth. “NHW continues to keep raising funds and planning events and programs for our youth. Annually awarding more than $10,000 in scholarships, contests and awards, sponsoring well-attended events like the CHB (Certified Hereford Beef) grill-off contest and leading the National Hereford Queen program and its sponsorship are what we do best.” Five board members are retiring, following their four-year board commitments: Shannon Mehaffey, Grandview, Texas; Susan Hayhurst, Terre Haute, Ind.; Lori RiffelHambright, Chapman, Kan.; Catie Sims, Edmond, Okla., and Denise Billman, Newcomerstown, Ohio. “What we do, what we build, is to benefit our Hereford youth,” Hambright says. “That has been my goal as an NHW board member. As we were a new board blending the histories, goals and objectives of two major separate women’s boards, many more challenges were added to the plate. I believe we have championed that cause and have even more exciting and new programs that our now 12-member board will be doing in the coming years. I thank my fellow NHW board members for their friendship, their insight and especially their willingness, also, to volunteer many hours and dollars to our ‘Hereford cause’ of promoting Herefords and our youth.” The next NHW column will detail the newly elected board members, officers and committees as well as the schedule of social and networking events for 2015.

Queen program to celebrate milestone The National Hereford Queen program will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2015. It is one of the oldest breed queen programs in the nation, and it has given hundreds of young women opportunities to

grow in leadership, poise and public speaking. These women have also developed a stronger understanding of the Hereford breed and its breeders, agriculture and the livestock industry and have assisted in the development of future Hereford leaders. “This program would not be possible without the support of all the breeders who welcome the state and national queens and encourage Hereford youth,” says Priefert. “The new queen sponsorship program is making sound strides and we welcome your participation at several different levels.” Queen program sponsors are listed on the NHW website, HerefordWomen.com. Contact Suzanne Matheny, queen chair, 606-584-0557 for program information.

NHW to partner with CHB CHB LLC’s Andrew Brooks recently asked NHW to help promote the brand. “There is a great story to tell when you are a part of the Hereford heritage,” Brooks says. “That story is what connects the consumer to our end product of CHB. NHW will be a great partner in communicating the merits of our product.” Brooks says he envisions NHW contributing to the CHB blog, co-hosting Twitter parties, continuing to partner at the Junior National Hereford Expo through the CHB grill-off and assisting with event speaking engagements. “NHW is very excited about this new opportunity with CHB, and we look forward to marshalling our resources to further promote Hereford beef,” Priefert says. “I am confident our membership and potential members will see this as an important step in furthering our mission.” HW

uggling. It’s not an easy task. There’s no doubt Steve Lambert, 2014 American Hereford Association (AHA) president, has perfected the skill. He has mastered the ability to juggle his many daily tasks as a Hereford breeder, AHA Board member, county supervisor and, most importantly, a dad. “Steve has brought a level of energy to our Board that has really motivated us, which in turn has created a tremendous Board and staff working relationship,” says Craig Huffhines, AHA executive vice president. “Professionally, Steve has many irons in the fire, from navigating local California political climate as a county supervisor to maintaining a reputable Hereford seedstock operation, and finally building a sizable northern California orchard enterprise. His entrepreneurial spirit is contagious, and we have all fed off of his larger-than-life personality.” Let’s get to know the many hats of Steve Lambert…

Hereford breeder Hereford cattle have been an important part of Steve’s life since he was a junior member. As he was growing up, his family owned Creekside Ranch, a prominent

polled Hereford operation. See “Hereford heritage,” Page 26. Today Steve and his family manage their Hereford seedstock operation under the Lambert Ranch name. The Lambert breeding program focuses on selecting for low birth weights, high weaning and yearling weights, good udders, and structural soundness. Expected progeny differences (EPDs) are an integral part of Steve’s sire selection process. Cattle with the L/R brand are expected to have the right physical characteristics and balanced numbers to carry out their jobs in the commercial industry. Lambert genetics are marketed through multiple venues each year. In 2007 Steve partnered with the Mickelson family of Sonoma Mountain Herefords to host an annual bull sale each October. The Lamberts also consign bulls to the Red Bluff Bull Sale each year. In 2014 they consigned the reserve champion polled bull at Red Bluff. Steve also has a strong local market, selling a few females and bulls off the ranch private treaty each year. continued on page 26...

Lambert Ranch bulls are developed on the ranch before selling in their annual bull sale each October.

He says their marketing philosophy is about developing and maintaining relationships. “Customer service is so important,” Steve explains. “I like repeat customers. I want to build relationships. If our cattle help my customers be successful they’ll come back and buy again.” Along with building relationships, he says it is important for seedstock producers, and the Hereford

industry as a whole, to listen to commercial producers and to understand what they want and need to be successful. This commitment to meeting customer needs will help continue the increasing demand for Hereford genetics. Marketing minded, Steve says it is important to keep his ranch name and phone number in front of potential customers, so when they think Herefords, they think Lambert Ranch. Showing is also a marketing tool and economic driver that has been utilized by the Lambert family for many years. “I enjoy it,” Steve explains. “I’ve been showing since I was little. Showing is a great way to make contacts and market our program. It’s also a way to compare our stock to others.” Each year the Lambert family exhibits at the California State Fair and the Sonoma County Fair. In 2014 they were named premier breeder and premier exhibitor at the California State Fair.

Although Steve’s Hereford breeder hat sometimes has to hang on the rack while he juggles other responsibilities, he says it’s the oldest and favorite hat he wears. “If you like what you do, it’s not work,” he explains.

Industry leader Through the years, Steve has committed himself to serving the breed and the beef industry that he learned so much from during his youth. His first leadership role in the Hereford breed was serving on the California Junior Polled Hereford Association board of directors from seventh grade through high school. “The people I served with on the junior board are still my friends today,” he says. Steve served as a director of the California/Nevada Polled Hereford Association from 2002-2010, serving a term as vice chairman. He was then elected to the AHA Board in 2010.

Hereford heritage Steve Lambert is a second-generation Hereford breeder. His parents — Stu and Marie — owned and operated Creekside Ranch, which in the 1980s and early ’90s was one of the largest polled Hereford cattle operations in the U.S. Steve and his brother, Matt, both showed cattle and participated in junior Hereford activities on the state and national levels. After their tenure in the showring ended, Creekside Ranch continued to exhibit cattle throughout the U.S., and both Stu and Marie were active in the American

Polled Hereford Association and the National Organization of Poll-ettes. After graduating from Chico State, Steve worked with his dad on the ranch. In 1990, while still working with his dad, Steve started Lambert Feed and Garden while also continuing to build his own herd. In 1993 Steve left the family ranch to focus fulltime on his businesses. He also continued to keep a few cows under the Lambert Ranch name, experimenting with Limousin cattle in the ’90s and then switching to Angus in the Hereford.org

During his tenure on the Board, he has served on the marketing, show and sale, finance, customer service, executive, and Hereford Publications Inc. committees. See “Q&A with AHA President Steve Lambert,” Page 29. “Serving on the AHA Board has been an unbelievable honor,” Steve says. “I’ve served on a lot of different boards, but what makes this Board different is that I’m serving with others who are selfless — they are not trying to better themselves — their main concern is the betterment of the breed.” Eric Walker, AHA vice president and Hereford breeder from Morrison, Tenn., says, “It has been a pleasure to serve with Steve on the AHA Board for three years. I will miss his energy and honesty. Steve’s roots run deep in the Hereford industry and we as breeders owe him a great deal of gratitude for a job well done as AHA president.”

Steve hung up his AHA Board hat Nov. 1 during the AHA Annual Meeting in Kansas City.

Public servant Along with his Hereford leadership, Steve has devoted his time and experience to serving his community. “I like being involved in my community,” Steve explains. “Too many people are self-serving. They want it

now, easy and free. And it doesn’t work like that.” Steve has been active in local government and other community organizations. He serves on the California Farm Bureau beef commodity advisory board and was a Butte County Farm Bureau director for six years. He also sits on his local high school’s ag advisory committee and has played an integral role in keeping the local county fair operational. On a broader scope, he served as mayor of Paradise, Calif., for three years and was elected in 2008 to serve as a Butte County Supervisor. He is currently serving his second four-year term. Steve explains the supervisor role is a multi-faceted job. On a weekly basis, he deals with water issues, land use and state unfunded mandates. He’s constantly fighting to protect rural rights. continued on page 28...

2000s. The feed and seed business grew to include five stores in Oroville, Paradise, Yuba City, Chico and Marysville, Calif. Steve’s parents dispersed the Creekside herd in 1998. With their hearts still in the business, they grew the herd back to 250 head by 2001, when Steve’s dad passed away. At that time Steve picked 30 of the core cows, and that group of cows is how he got back into the Hereford business. Because of the 2012 drought, the increasing demand for Hereford genetics, Hereford’s docility compared to Angus Hereford.org

and the land diverted to plant the 260-acre walnut orchard, Hereford is now the only breed with the L/R brand. Today Lambert Ranch is a diversified enterprise, growing hay and walnuts plus more than 200 Hereford cattle. A Gold TPR (Total Performance Records) breeder, Lambert Ranch has bred several Dams of Distinction. The Lambert herd winters near Oroville and then is trucked to summer pasture near Alturas and Chester, Calif. HW

What are your thoughts on the current status of the Hereford breed?

It is important that we don’t compromise our quality for quantity trying to meet the market demand. We, as breeders, need to continually evolve and grow within our communities and realize consumers’ demands as end users. As Hereford breeders, let’s focus on what Herefords do best instead of trying to be all things to all people. What do we need to work on as a breed?

What are your thoughts about having served as the 2014 American Hereford Association (AHA) president?

It is an exciting time to serve as AHA president. We have a great Board of Directors, who represents a solid cross section of the industry and the country. The breed is heading back toward larger market share and desirability. Having grown up in a Hereford family, it is important to me to see the Hereford breed return to and maintain its rightful place in the beef industry.

1) We can’t sacrifice ribeyes for more marbling. We don’t want to single-trait select, but we do need to address carcass quality as a breed. As we move forward, it is important not to lose our focus on what has kept us in business all these years — like our structurally sound maternal cattle. 2) We must continue to breed cattle with fertility and longevity. Commercial producers have to buy a new Angus bull every year versus a Hereford bull that will last five to six years. 3) We’ve got to retain and foster new people in the breed.

What are some highlights of the past year? 1) New staff hires and the current energy related to the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC program are exciting. 2) The cowboy appreciation barbecue we hosted for the Simplot Livestock Co. staff was a positive relationship builder for the hands-on crews that have been collecting the data for us. I personally enjoyed hearing their perspectives on Hereford genetics, be it good or bad. 3) The Hereford Genetic Summit was one of my most memorable events of the year. It was a combination of education and breeder bonding. Our speakers represented a broad spectrum of the beef industry and gave us all something to take back to our operations. 4) As president, I had the opportunity to travel to various parts of the country and enjoy the hospitality of the most gracious people that I have ever met and am now honored to call friends.

As a breed I think we are on the right track; we just can’t lose focus.

How would you summarize your tenure on the Board?

Having grown up in a Hereford family, serving on the Board is an unbelievable honor. I have been very fortunate to have spent my time with amazing men and women who all have a common goal to better and maintain the growth and integrity of our breed. I encourage others to get involved. Being on the Board forges relationships, broadens your respect and knowledge of what fellow breeders face in their regions, and gives you an opportunity to help this organization attain its goals during this exciting time. I would still like to see some changes in our structure that would allow for more breeder involvement through subcommittees that can help support and advise the Board. I believe that we all have something to bring to the table besides great steaks. HW

5) Being able to host the Board of Directors in my home state and show them that we are more than just fruits and nuts out on the West Coast.

2014 Annual Report

Numbers Up in All Areas

iscal Year 2014 was a tremendous year of growth for the American Hereford Association (AHA), verifying the continuing resurgence of the breed. The Association witnessed increases in registrations, transfers, cows on inventory and membership while Hereford breeders enjoyed record-setting sale averages along with private treaty sales. AHA reported 71,444 registrations (a 5.2% increase) and 40,295 transfers (a 12.1% increase) with 107,277 cows on inventory, up nearly 7%. The Association has 3,641 active adult members (a 4% increase) and 2,670 active junior members (a 7% increase). 71,444 registrations A total of 188 Hereford 40,295 transfers production sales were 107,277 cows on inventory reported by AHA field representatives during 3,641 active adult members the fiscal year, which 2,670 active junior members ended Aug. 31. Bull sales averaged $5,089, up Bull sales average nearly $400 per head, and Female sales average females $4,637, up nearly Hereford World advertising $440 per head.

Hereford semen use in the commercial industry also continues to increase. According to the National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB), domestic Hereford semen sales increased 7% compared to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales. Hereford domestic semen sales have steadily increased since 2006, a testament to the increasing demand for Hereford genetics in the commercial industry. As the Association kicked off a new year, it hosted a Hereford Genetic Summit in Springfield, Mo. A dynamic, thought-provoking set of industry leaders shared their insights and challenged attendees to embrace technology, to focus on the customer, 5.2% and to concentrate on feed 12.1% efficiency and end-product 6.7% merit.

Data Pays Dividends

ata is power and the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) commitment to the integrity and accessibility of information for its members has as much to do with the increase in breed popularity in recent years as anything else. As members work to improve the breed through individual herds, their records continue to be the Association’s largest and most valuable resource. Helping facilitate this progress has been the AHA’s Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program. Now 14 years since its inception, the program has helped the AHA and Hereford breeders build the largest database in the industry for lifetime cow productivity. In an era when “sustainable agriculture” is the new buzzword, the Hereford breed stands poised to deliver on those traits that will sustain the profitability of the commercial industry. “Fertility and cow longevity are the two most influential profit drivers of the commercial cow-calf industry,” says Jack

Ward, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. “Through the dedication of our Hereford membership, we now have the data to develop selection tools that will finally help to positively influence those very important factors that influence ranch sustainability.” DNA testing technology continues to evolve, giving Hereford breeders even more predictive power when making genetic decisions. The AHA has taken a very scientific approach by collaborating with some of the brightest animal geneticists in the country to develop Hereford-specific genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) through the national cattle evaluation (NCE). By blending pedigree, phenotypes and now genetic information, the Association has the ability to predict the breeding value of young unproven animals with new accuracy levels that equates to an animal having between three to eight progeny on record.

Member service, breed improvement update MyHerd.org — a real-time online registry data system that provides online access to the majority of AHA record services — was released in September. Utilizing MyHerd, breeders can register and transfer cattle online, and view and pay accounts, as well as keep up-to-date on Whole Herd TPR data entry. DNA testing continues to increase and improve. At fiscal year’s end, the AHA had collected more than 10,000 genotypes. This figure includes 6,500 registered animals plus those in the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) and research project animals, which also have feed intake and carcass phenotypes collected. AHA has leveraged its feed intake database to participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) $4 million national program for genetic improvement of feed efficiency in beef cattle.

AHA has contributed to the genetic sequencing of 15 highly proven Hereford bulls as part of a multi-year USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture funded study at the University of Missouri. This project is investigating genomic technologies to enhance fertility in beef cattle. Since 2003 the AHA has had a 51% increase in artificial insemination (AI) use, and the number of calves born by embryo transfer (ET) has doubled. The Association continues to focus its research on feed efficiency as well as a multiyear project with Simplot Livestock Co. that is documenting the benefits of using calving-ease Hereford sires in a large-scale, predominately Angus program.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

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 magazine periodically. 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 27, 2000. 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 of various breeds. 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 $415,238 and $396,021 for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 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, 2014 and 2013, 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 $45,740 and $37,970 were considered to be cash equivalents as of August 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 $6,417 and $5,930 as of August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Investments The Association’s investment portfolio is subject to the investment policy set forth by the Board of Directors. Investments are comprised of debt and equity 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 , 2014 and 2013. 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 $178,424 and $177,807

2014 AHA Annual Report 7

for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During 2014, $665,437 of fixed assets and $658,670 of related accumulated depreciation were retired and removed from the August 31, 2014 consolidated statement of financial position. These retired assets included computer equipment and software, office furniture and equipment, and certain building improvements. 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. 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, 2014 and 2013, 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

The Association maintains cash accounts that are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to the insured limits of the FDIC. The Association’s bank balances may exceed this limit from time to time. 3 — Fair Value Measurements

Fair values of assets measured on a recurring basis at August 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows: August 31, 2014 Fair Value Equity Securities $ 88,203 24,695 Municipal Bonds 1,029,033 Government agency bonds Corporate bonds 839,822 317,579 Fixed Income Securities Total $2,299,332 August 31, 2013 Equity Securities Municipal Bonds Government agency bonds Corporate bonds Fixed Income Securities Total

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) $ 88,203 24,695 1,029,033 839,822 317,579 $2,299,332

$ 62,855 23,636 $ 986,879 742,010 273,348 $2,088,728

62,855 23,636 $ 986,879 742,010 273,348 $2,088,728

Investments consist of government bonds and notes, corporate bonds and notes, and equity securities 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) on investments were $42,600 and $(87,597) for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 and 2013 were $86,395 and $85,734, respectively. 5 — Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following at August 31: Notes - vehicles, collateralized by related vehicles, interest from 2.74% to 5.89%, maturing from January 2015 through November 2017. Less: Current portion Total Long-Term Debt

Interest expense was $2,586 and $4,275 for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

6 — Income Taxes

The provisions for income taxes consist of the following components for the years ended August 31: 2014 2013 $– $– Current Deferred 36,388 11,796 Temporary differences Change in valuation allowance (36,388) (11,796) $ – $–

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. 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 carryforward, resulting in deferred tax assets. The components of the deferred tax assets are as follows at: Deferred Tax Assets Net operating loss carryforwards Less: Valuation Allowance

August 31, 2014 August 31, 2013 $114,815 $151,203 (114,815) (151,203) $ – $–

HPI utilized net operating losses of approximately $107,025 and $34,692 for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. HPI has net operating loss carryforward of $337,691 available to offset future federal and state taxable income that expire beginning in 2019 as follows: Year Amount Year Amount 2019 $78,212 2022 $29,681 $95,052 Thereafter $18,452 2020 $116,294 2021 $337,691

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. 7 — Temporarily Restricted Net Assets

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 $112 and $2,585 as of August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 8 — Collections

The Association has a collection of artwork, appraised at approximately $640,500, at August 31, 2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 or 2013. The Association insures these collections with a policy that has a face value consistent with the appraised values. 9 — Subsquent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through October 3, 2014, 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 financial statements of American Hereford Association (a nonprofit organization) and subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of August 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Hereford Association and subsidiaries as of August 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. — Respectfully submitted, Kennedy and Coe, LLC, October 3, 2014 Pursuant to its bylaws, AHA submits the above financial information for its members as of the close of the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013. — American Hereford Association, Craig Huffhines, executive vice president
