Len McIrvin, the patriarch of the family operation, which also includes his wife Pat, their son, Bill McIrvin, and grandson, Justin Hedrick, as partners. Capturing value from the Herefords’ efficiency all the way, the McIrvins have always retained ownership on their calves through

the feedyard phase. As the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB)® program celebrates 20 years in 2015, Diamond M Ranch, too, celebrates 20 years of selling cattle to the program. Len McIrvin’s fed cattle were some of the first harvested for CHB. continued on page 28...

Stay Dedicated to What’s in Demand The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) July 1 midyear cattle-inventory report indicates that the rate of expansion for the U.S cow herd is on a very fast pace. Cow slaughter is down for more than a year, and more replacements are being retained. This year’s USDA midyear report confirms that more heifers are being retained. Reports show that compared to 2012, beef replacement heifers are

up more than 16%, making this the largest growth for a couple of decades. Obviously, no one knows for sure how far this trend can go, but it will depend mostly on how much demand there will be for beef cattle, both domestic and international One thing will be certain, this expansion will allow beef producers to change an approach to breeding systems and will allow for good,

well-documented cattle to be in demand. With the risk of high prices for all inputs, there is no room for mistakes. As we found in our most recent cow-calf commercial survey, most producers rely heavily on their seedstock suppliers to make the right decisions for them when it comes to genetics. This opportunity for the Hereford breed is exciting and can allow us

to continue to build demand for Hereford cattle, but the challenge will be for producers to continue to build breeding programs that are backed by sound breeding decisions and continue to put pressure on economically relevant traits (ERT) of importance such as CE (calving ease), growth, disposition, efficiency, end product and fertility. The American Hereford Association (AHA) is committed to providing the tools for the cattlemen to make these decisions. “He wants it all,” is the new tag line for the AHA national ad campaign, and as the growth of the cow herd begins and the margins get tighter, it will be important for the seedstock industry to be committed to making the right breeding decisions. As we position ourselves for the herd expansion, stay dedicated to good data collection, use all tools for selection decisions and let’s continue to provide the commercial industry the cattle that will encourage demand for beef both domestically and internationally.

Annual Meeting We are excited to once again welcome our Hereford breeders and friends to Kansas City, Mo., for the AHA Annual Meeting and the National Hereford Show during the American Royal, Oct. 30 to Nov. 1. We invite you to attend the educational forum, which will kick off our Hereford activities for the weekend. Don’t miss this chance to learn the latest on the new Hereford traits, a review of genetic evaluations and tips for scoring udders. Join us Friday night to “Celebrate the Brand at 1501 Wyandotte,” as we recognize honorees and celebrate Certified Hereford Beef’s (CHB®) 20th anniversary. All are welcome to attend the Annual Membership Meeting Saturday morning to hear reports on Association activities and to interact with fellow breeders and the AHA Board. Members selected 147 delegates to conduct AHA business and to elect three members to serve on the AHA Board of Directors. The Ladies of the Royal Sale on Saturday afternoon will be another great event to attend before we roll into the National Hereford Show Sunday morning. For full details on Annual Meeting events, see Page 35. We look forward to seeing each of you in Kansas City. HW

Simplot Data Release Calving ease and neonatal vigor are two significant traits in the cattle industry. A live calf that is born unassisted and gets up and nurses right away is important in any calving environment but is critical in a heifer program.

With this in mind, in 2011 the American Hereford Association (AHA) 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.

Simplot retains, develops and breeds more than 4,500 heifers each year. We work with Randall Raymond, Simplot Livestock Co. director of research and veterinary services, who feels that calving ease and neonatal vigor is important to their heifer program.

In Table 1 you will find the final report on the 2014-born calves. This project was initially designed to use Hereford sires on virgin heifers, but it has been extended into using cows as well. In 2014 we used one set of bulls on heifers and one set of bulls on cows and you will find one reference bull, Huth Enhancer 2D, who was used on both sets and has been used heavily at Simplot. Using Enhancer will tie these new sires together well with not only these groups, but past groups. You will also notice a few bulls with very limited progeny. These are sires that had been used previously and there were a few straws of semen left to be used. An Angus bull was also used in each set for comparison. At Simplot, the bulls are used randomly, and any female that is AI (artificial insemination) bred in this research that is predominantly black- or red-hided will be bred to a Hereford bull, and any that have more white are bred to the Angus bulls. In Table 2 you will find the expected progeny differences (EPDs) on the bulls used in this research. Simplot currently has a set of calves born in 2015, and we have bred another set of females in 2015 to continue the research. Please note, as you study the data, that there are various differences in progeny. We DNA test every calf for sire identification and leave those out that have too many exclusions. Additionally, the data used for this report are just raw data without any age of dam adjustments, age of calf adjustments or contemporary grouping. These adjustments will be made as we put this information into the next PanAmerican Cattle Evaluation (PACE).

Jensens, Evans donate heifer to benefit Hereford youth

400 Registered Cows

The Jensen family of Courtland, Kan., and Dylan Evans, Lebo, Kan., have graciously donated KJ BJ DWE 686Z Salsa 364C ET to sell as Lot 1, the foundation female, Jan. 15, 2016, during the Mile High Night Sale at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. All proceeds will benefit the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and the “Growing a Lasting Legacy” campaign, supporting leadership and education for the next generation of Hereford youth. “A big thank you goes to Dylan Evans and Kevin, Sheila, Brady, Brooke and Ben Jensen for donating this phenomenal heifer calf to highlight the Mile High Night Sale,” says Amy Cowan, American Hereford Association director of youth and foundation. All three Jensen youth and Dylan have been active in the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA). Both Brady and

Brooke have served on the NJHA Board. Brady retired in July as the NJHA chairman. Brooke was the 2013-14 National Hereford Queen. “The Hereford Association has done so much for our family,” Kevin says. “Sheila and I have raised our kids in the Hereford breed and we’re so grateful for the experiences and opportunities they have had because of the NJHA and HYFA. Donating a female to support Hereford youth is our chance to say thank you to the Association for making such an impact on our family.” Salsa (registration no. 43585785) is a March 29, 2015, daughter of CRR 719 Catapult 109 and out of KJ 968R Zsa Zsa 686Z ET by MSU TCF Revolution 4R. “As a donation lot we wanted to choose one of our best,” Brady says. “Salsa’s blend of unmatched EPDs and outstanding phenotype along with her added power, balance and style will allow her to make an elite impact on any operation. It is hard to see Salsa go as we consider her as an ‘ideal’ female for our program.” Salsa’s dam, Zsa Zsa, is a lead donor in the Jensen program. She was division champion at the 2013 Junior National Hereford Expo, division champion at the 2014 National Western Stock Show and reserve division champion at the 2013 NWSS. Zsa Zsa is a full sib to KJ 968R Polled Solution 668ZET who sired the high-selling, $56,000 female in Jensen’s inaugural online female sale.

Nicodemus joins AHA, Hereford World staff as field rep The American Hereford Association (AHA) and Hereford World (HW) are excited to announce Lander Nicodemus, Cheyenne, Wyo., has joined the Hereford team. Nicodemus started Sept. 17 as the Western region field representative. In this position, Nicodemus will attend Hereford sales and events as well as assist breeders with marketing and genetic selection. He will also assist in educating members and commercial producers about AHA programs and other beef industry opportunities. He will serve as the communication link between the AHA and breeders in Montana, Colorado, Wyoming and western Canada. “We are extremely pleased to be able to hire an experienced and talented individual like Lander as the Western region field representative,” says Joe Rickabaugh, AHA director of field management and seedstock marketing. “Lander brings to our team knowledge and experience in the marketing and feeding business. He will be an excellent addition to our field staff.” Nicodemus graduated from the University of Wyoming with a bachelor’s degree in animal and veterinary sciences in 2008. Since then, he has been pursuing a master’s degree and working in the livestock industry. Most recently he worked as a field rep for Torrington Livestock Markets in Torrington, Wyo. He’s also worked in the feedyard industry as the sales coordinator for Adams Land and Cattle Co. He’s a talented meat evaluator; winning accolades in college before serving as the University of Wyoming meat judging team coach for nearly three years. “There’s no doubt the past few years have been an exciting time to be involved in the cattle business,” Lander says. “I’ve seen first hand the benefits of Hereford-influenced cattle. I’m proud to get to represent an iconic breed of America. Hereford cattle have so many advantages to offer the commercial cattleman as he meets the challenge of feeding the world beef. I look forward to serving the Hereford breeders in the Western region. Ben Brillhart did a great job representing the Association in this area for many years. I have big boots to fill.” Lander will continue to reside in Cheyenne and can be reached at lnicodemus@ hereford.org. HW

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

Farm -toFork Part 1: Seedstock Part 2: Stocker Part 3: Feedlot Part 4: Packer Part 5: Retail Part 6: Foodservice Part 7: Consumer Part 8: Future

Certified Hereford Beef: The Next Twenty Years This month we celebrate Certified Hereford Beef’s (CHB®) 20th anniversary. So, the final piece of the Farm-to-Fork series is about our future. Where is CHB going to go in the next 20 years? Today’s consumers already want to know more about their food than any generation before, but we have to combat food myths and misinformation as more and more people become distanced from family farms. Consumers of the future are going to have even more access to information. It will be a challenge for future producers to reach consumers with the truthful information on how their beef is produced and the health benefits of our product. “The consumer has evolved from wanting to know that their food is safe, to wanting to know why they should consume a product, nutritionally, safely, socially and personally,” says David Trowbridge, CHB Board president. “The consumer will continue to evolve into being able to ‘feel good’ personally about what they are consuming over the next 20 years.” The past two decades have seen beef marketed in a variety of ways. Today, when you step into a grocery market or sit down at a restaurant table, you have a variety of choices in beef. The industry has seen natural, organic, grass-fed, antibiotic- and hormone-free, etc., beef programs marketed to consumers as they

/ October 2015

explore different ways to obtain their protein. CHB supply chain manager Trey Befort says these and future consumer trends affect on Hereford producers. “Because of the introduction of these kinds of programs to the cattle industry, I believe every producer has had to educate themselves as to what the consumer is demanding and make changes to their management accordingly,” Befort says. “These topics will continue to be increasingly important as we move forward.” This is a huge opportunity for CHB. “With our continued growth in the next 20 years, I see a great opportunity for CHB to have a key role in the improvement of the Hereford breed and continued demand growth for the use of Hereford cattle in the commercial cattle industry,” Befort adds. Why have branded-beef programs grown in popularity over the last 20 years? Trowbridge says, “They have let the consumer form a relationship with the brand.” Befort adds, “Branded beef programs have grown in popularity, in my opinion, because consumers associate quality with a brand and a product that has some kind of story to go with it. As consumers continually want to know more about their food, I believe branded beef programs like CHB have a great story and will continue to grow in popularity.” CHB Vice President of Marketing Andrew Brooks says the marketing of CHB has had to change to meet the consumer’s expectations. “It definitely has evolved,” he says. “Look at ‘Beef, It’s What’s For Dinner.’ ads on YouTube from 20 years ago and now YouTube beef commercials from HEB, Kroger SW and Yoke’s Fresh Market. Every food aisle is being branded with a farmer’s or rancher’s face. Nobody believes what the TV tells them anymore. They want to hear and believe what another peer tells them.” The next 20 years will find CHB using more and more of the stories of the hard working, great stewards of land and animals that are the members of the American Hereford Association. Brooks says the biggest growth opportunity comes from retail and foodservice. “Bottom line growth and revenue would

probably come from retail,” he says. “One big chain can change the whole dynamic of your business model. Losing one can also do the same. Retail means tonnage and tonnage hopefully equates to better bottom line, which in turn helps us to better market our product. As far as branding though, that opportunity may lie within foodservice. In one instance, a well renowned chef can plug your product and all of a sudden the whole world could be asking for it. That’s why it’s imperative for us to go back and work on our menu logo program. People love eating good steaks in restaurants and want to go home and try to imitate that experience.” CHB Director of Retail Marketing Mark Layco says the reasons we would have the largest effect with growth of larger retailers is because of opportunities with “better regimented program follow through, wider customer base, and larger revenue dividends.” What are the next big goals for CHB? Should we look to increase tonnage, focus on revenue growth or look at product line expansions? According to Mick Welch, vice president of sales, it is all the above. He states, “Over the last number of years we have had to go after tonnage to help create revenue and carcass utilization through boxes sold. However, selling boxes alone cannot

generate enough revenue to finance our growth to cover our needs. As we move forward our tonnage must continue to grow to generate revenue. We will also look at value-added CHB products to help create more carcass utilization and revenue for our CHB program.” CHB Vice President of Retail Brad Ellefson says, “Tonnage produces revenue. We need to focus more on our value added programs and that would be our product line expansion.” The potential for the next 20 years is great, but it starts with you, the Hereford producer. It will take the continued hard work and dedication from the outstanding men and women that are raising Hereford and Hereford-influenced cattle. In order to make the next 20 years of CHB as successful as the first, “the increased use of Hereford genetics in commercial herds will help us meet the growing demand and play an integral role in the production of and future of CHB,” Befort says. Trowbridge summed up the future of CHB with this final thought, “Certified Hereford Beef’s producers and consumers trust us to provide a consistently safe, consistently satisfying, consistently desired and consistently a great value product with a truly legendary story and that is our future’s most sacred treasure.” HW Hereford.org

Don’t Miss NHW Events at the American Royal The chill of the fall air, and the hellos and hugs signifies that we all made it to Kansas City for the American Royal. The energy swirling around the Hereford breed is certain to make this year’s docket of annual meetings, shows and events one to be talked about for years to come.

Crown jewel The National Hereford Queen program continues to grow in numbers and excitement. This year we are excited to have 11 candidates bidding for the

title of National Hereford Queen. All candidates are exceptional young ladies who share a great passion for the breed. “Excitement continues to build among young ladies and breeders, and we are excited to be going into this year’s queen contest following exceptional participation at the JNHE (Junior National Hereford Expo) from state royalty and the Queen’s Tea event,” said Carol Priefert, National Hereford Women (NHW) queen committee chair.

In addition to an exceptional National Hereford Queen contest, the NHW is excited to celebrate the past and future of the state and national queen program at the 40 Years of Royalty party. This fun event will take place at 3:30 p.m. Oct. 31 in the Governors Room on the American Royal grounds. Refer to Page 44 for additional details.

Highlights of a successful year The 2015 NHW annual meeting will highlight a busy and successful year for

the organization. The NHW annual meeting will be 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31 at the Kansas City Marriott Downtown. We will be sharing information about our summer projects — launching a new recipe website with Certified Hereford Beef ®, JNHE contests and scholarships and fundraising efforts. “As we prepare for our annual meeting, our board is excited and thankful for the support of both the National Junior Hereford Association board, Amy Cowan, director of youth activities, and all Hereford enthusiasts who showed support throughout the JNHE this summer,” says Alise Nolan, NHW president. “We would also like to thank the Nebraska Hereford Women for their instrumental assistance in our first JNHE hotel room raffle that was highly successful and will support many of our programs for years to come.” During the Annual Meeting, NHW will also be honoring the 2015 Outstanding Hereford Woman of the Year. This annual award recognizes the leadership, dedication and contributions that a NHW member has made to the breed, state women’s organization or the NHW. This lady is often recognized for her hospitality, membership, dedication to youth, community service and related activities in the regional and/or national arenas. This awardee is nominated by someone who believes in her and her gracious abilities. Plan to be in attendance to see who this year's award recipient will be. The NHW looks forward to seeing all of our members at these events in Kansas City as we celebrate the accomplishments and future for our breed. Stayed tuned to the NHW Facebook page for updates throughout the event. HW

Are Cattle Records Worth the Effort? I have said many times that the constant in beef production is change. I remember when I graduated from college in 1975, the continental cattle influence was strong. People had to reposition themselves around the animal so they could be seen in the picture. At the same time, calves were weighing off cows at 469 lb. As a new county Extension agent, I received my first free sample of Roundup herbicide. Producers from crop-growing counties gathered around to hear about anhydrous ammonia fertilizer. As one traveled through the

Midwest, summer fallow still was a term farmers used, and weed control was optional. Management practices and tillage were expected to control weeds. Crops that were not a success went to the cows, or maybe the sheep. Today, Roundup herbicide and anhydrous ammonia fertilizer are utilized extensively throughout agriculture, and calves are weighing in at more than 600 lb. after seven months of grazing. For those who lived this cycle, sometimes comprehending the magnitude of the change is hard. The seeds of change from the 1960s and

1970s sprouted and now populate agriculture in truly mind-bending ways. Early in my career, guiding producers and implementing record systems that documented that change was crucial. Producers could not only see the change but could record the change. A former co-worker, Harlan Hughes, often said, “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” As another fall comes upon us, I can’t help but wonder who will miss the opportunity to record in writing factual data regarding their beef operation. Since 1963, the North Dakota State

University Extension Service, through the North Dakota Beef Cattle Improvement Association, has been a leader in the evaluation of cattle records. Thousands of cattle have been weighed and evaluated. Thousands still are processed through the Cow Herd Appraisal of Performance Software (CHAPS) program. Having been involved in the evaluation of those records, they are important. And yet, as one visits with many agricultural producers, the industry struggles with recordkeeping. The agronomic side of the business has the Farm Service Agency to help keep track of those cropping records required through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Records are required to be maintained by those who apply restricted-use pesticides. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service has tremendous programs available for the management of range and other natural resources. The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service generates hourly market reports, along with detailed summaries for agricultural commodities, that extend worldwide. But when one turns to the livestock sector, in this case beef, oftentimes the response to records is simply, “… would like to, but just can’t get them done.” The reasons are varied, but the point is the same: no records. Why don’t some producers record and track individual cow-calf data? I’m sure the reasons are many; however, time and cost are probably at the top of the list. Fall is roundup time. Today, many producers have cattle spread 50 or more miles from one pasture to the next. For the Dickinson Research Extension Center, cattle workdays mean the crew is loading horses by 5 a.m. and, depending on the pasture, rounding up cattle by 6 or 7 a.m. Providing all the cows are where they are supposed to be, they should be arriving just as the chute setup is being completed, the electronic scale calibrated and the day’s objectives reviewed. If all goes well, the cattle should be worked by noon, with semis loaded full of this year’s high-value calves destined for the weaning lots and the mother cows turned back to grass. Weaning and weighing calves are hard work, and many days don’t go exactly as planned. But still, chance did not get those 1975 calves that weighed 469 lb. to weigh in excess of 600 lb. today. Producers may have marveled at those great pictures back in the ’60s and ’70s, but good selection decisions based on data added the 130-plus pounds of calf weight to the cow-calf pair. The appraisal of genetic and managerial inputs is critical to the management of a ranch. Good records help producers steer their business and manage change. Without records, a producer simply drifts with the trends. Trends are informative, but steering is better. And because change is inevitable, steering through it is critical. HW Hereford.org

Gross margin accounts for the purchase and sale of all calves, cull cows and bulls, plus the animals transferred in and any overall changes in cattle inventory. At the end of the day, this is the number direct and overhead expenses are subtracted from to calculate net return per cow without labor and management charges deducted. Dollars coming into the beef enterprise are dramatically positive. This change is evident as cow‑calf producers spend or invest the increased dollars generated. So what worries grandma and grandpa? Simple! Income means nothing without a cost calculation. Given that, what is the first cost that deducts dollars from the available gross margin? Most producers would say feed, but the first and greatest cost affecting the gross margin is maintaining the cow inventory. Looking back at 2000, the cost for purchasing or keeping replacement heifers was $132, which was calculated by dividing the cost of the replacement heifers by the total number of producing cows in the herd. In 2013, this figure was $268 (an increase of 178%). In 2014, the same figure was $297 (an increase of 225%). In other words, replacement costs are accumulating within the beef herd. Is that manageable? Well, grandma is worried, and grandpa is more optimistic. But let’s look at the total direct and overhead expenses. In 2000, producers spent, on average, $342 per cow for total direct and overhead expenses. By 2013, that average value was $583 per cow, an increase of 170%. And in 2014, that average value was $648 per cow,

Lot# 14 • P43366349 / October 2015

an increase of 189%. Well, grandpa just started to worry as well. That means a 500-lb. calf needs to bring $1.30 per lb. simply to pay the obvious bills. That leaves nothing to pay the help, pay something for managing the place or buy a nice gift for grandma. Yes, we all know prices are better than that, but why are grandma and grandpa a little worried? Well, simply put, prices go up and prices go down. What’s owned is yours, what’s not will transfer, always a reality in business. Grandma and grandpa have a right to worry; controlling costs are

critical to survival. If there are lessons in life, with age, those lessons become more apparent. Granted, the younger generation has a lot of tools to use that previous generations did not, but the lessons of life do not need all the tools. As long as money is positive, a producer has the choice of several managerial options, but once expenses exceed income, those choices can cease quickly. Choose financial commitments with diligence.

From the turn of the century, the year 2000, the average cost of raising a calf has almost doubled. Today’s cow-calf producers are enjoying a revenue stream never before realized by the industry. This is good. So why are grandma and grandpa worried? The current generational discussions — whether causal chit-chat while doing chores or a formal meeting of the minds — have indicated a breather from always having to worry about where the next dollar will come from. Those who have lived without never forget what that means. However, unfortunately, those who never have lived without really cannot fathom what it means. This creates a bit of a divide between generations in what are some good times. Is the divide real? Yes, it is. Should the divide be a family talking point? Absolutely. Those who have the wisdom of past cattle cycles know darn well that cattle prices are not the means to long-term success in the cow-calf business. The means to success is to control cost. Prices go up. Prices go down. At some point, income is less than costs. For those who know the feeling, times will change. All those jokes about the banker tell more truth than one really wants to admit. Cow-calf producers do not control the price; they control the costs. All good prices come down; not all bad prices go up. Nothing is free. So where is the beef industry? My favorite places for answers are the North Dakota Farm and Ranch Business Management Education Program (ndfarmmanagement.com) and FINBIN (finbin.umn.edu) from the Center for Farm Financial Management, University of Minnesota. A review of North Dakota numbers from FINBIN since 2000 certainly brings some points up for discussion. Since 2000, a lot has changed. In 2000, the available gross margin for North Dakota cow-calf producers was $466 per cow. In 2013, the available gross margin was $830 (up 178%), and in 2014, it was $1,310 (up 281%). That translates into considerable more total dollars coming into the operation.

...Hereford Loyalty continued from the cover

Now on its sixth generation, the Diamond M Ranch has never strayed from the Hereford breed. “We couldn’t ever see the advantage (of using another breed),” McIrvin says. “These Hereford cattle always excel.” Others have noticed too. Len and Pat were honored with the 2014 Lifetime Cattlemen Award during the Western Nugget National Show in Reno, Nev.

Hereford from the start

Diamond M Ranch was the 2014 Western Nugget National Hereford Show Commercial Cattleman Honoree. Pictured at the award presentation are: Mark Holt, AHA fieldman, and Len and Patti McIrvin.

The Diamond M Ranch headquarters is right on the Canadian border in northeast Washington. Cattle spend the summers there, grazing beautiful high country. Then in the fall, cattle are shipped south to the winter ranch, which is in southeast Washington, right on the Oregon border. Diamond M Ranch has been operating this way for decades, with the two locales allowing them to operate a sizeable herd. Starting as a strictly commercial operation in the early 1940s, McIrvin says, they slowly added registered cows and in the ’60s that was their focus. Now, though, about 2,500 commercial cows are the family’s bread and butter, and 100 registered cows provide seedstock for the commercial herd. About 500 head of heifers are calved out each year as well. One thing hasn’t changed though, all those cows are purebred Hereford. Besides the heifers kept for replacements, all offspring are grown on grass to about 900 lbs. then fed in Nebraska before being marketed to National Beef or Greater Omaha through the Certified Hereford Beef program. “We never sell a yearling unless it’s not healthy enough to feed or

too old, like if a first calf heifer loses a calf,” McIrvin says. “We feed everything else.” By retaining ownership on the cattle all the way through to the rail, the McIrvins have kept a balanced approach to trait selection. Their cows are fertile, hardy and efficient and they raise calves which grow well, feed even better and taste good.

Efficiency is key With so many commercial herds going black, why haven’t the McIrvins followed suit? “So many people, it seems to me, want to mongrelize their herd just because people say that’s the thing to do,” McIrvin says. “They do it with no objective in mind, no end result and not expecting any change in their operation. It’s just that some order buyer tells them the cattle would be worth more if they were crossed up. It’s so futile to me. I can see no advantage.” Diamond M has a tried-andtrue recipe for making beef. “We wean a 450 lb. calf in the fall because we like to go back to grass with those yearlings. If we weaned a 650 or 700 lb. calf then by the time we got through winter we’d be locked in and have to go straight to the feedyard. Some of our cheapest gain is going back to our own grass with these yearlings.” Then the calves are shipped to the yard at around 900 lb. and fed for about 120 days. The cattle are harvested at about 1,450 to 1,500 lb. “We hardly every have a YG 4 in our cattle,” McIrvin says. “If they are managed properly they excel in all traits, but if you try to put them in the same pen as Chianina or Gelbvieh, Simmental

Mike Twitchell, co-owner of Sweetwater Cattle Co. in Kearney, Neb., says Hereford cattle are a more efficient breed than most. One-third of cattle fed at Sweetwater Cattle Co. are destined for Certified Hereford Beef.

“The biggest advantage for us is one more buyer on the market. We’ve sold cattle to other packers, but the high bid takes the cattle. And right now I am getting about a $25 (per head) premium for my calves qualifying for CHB.” — Len McIrvin or Charolais and try to feed them under the same conditions, it doesn’t work. The Herefords are too efficient so when the whole pen is ready to kill the Hereford is too fat and the feedyard guy says, ‘I’ll never feed another one of them.’ It’s a management thing.” The McIrvins feed some of their cattle at Sweetwater Cattle Co. in Kearney, Neb. Mike Twitchell is the co-owner and manager and says he’s been impressed from the get-go with McIrvins’ Herefords. “Len’s cattle are great cattle,” Twitchell explains. “We get the lowest conversion and highest gain out of Diamond M cattle as any. He has a tremendous set of genetics.” Sweetwater Cattle Co. feeds many destined for Certified Hereford Beef. “About a third of our inventory will be CHB qualifiers,” Twitchell explains. “The CHB program has allowed us to market Hereford cattle at par to above any other breeds.” And they feed economically, Twitchell says. “The Hereford cattle are a more efficient breed than most. We get good conversion

and good gains typically out of the Herefords. We like their performance, it’s typically very predictable and they allow us to manage our risk better than some other breeds,” Twitchell says. Although McIrvin was raising and feeding straight Hereford cattle long before 1995 when CHB came around, he says it’s nice getting that premium for his cattle qualifying for the program. “The biggest advantage for us is one more buyer on the market,” McIrvin explains. “We’ve sold cattle to other packers, but the high bid takes the cattle. And right now I am getting about a $25 (per head) premium for my calves qualifying for CHB.” He adds, “I think that Hereford cattle, as a breed, have definitely received a black eye from some order buyers and feeders and it’s absolutely unwarranted. I can put our Hereford cattle in the feedyard up against any breed or herd in the nation and they can compete. Plus we have so many advantages with Herefords as far as their temperament and they’re easy fleshing and on and on.” HW

Hereford cattle like these will qualify for a premium when marketed through the Certified Hereford Beef program.

Certified Hereford Beef® program specs What are the CHB live animal specifications?

• Cattle must have a predominately (51%) whiteface and exhibit white markings over the jaw, forehead and muzzle. White markings on any part of the hip, shoulder or side of the body such as spots, stripes or belts are not acceptable. • Cattle must be solid red, solid black or roan with a predominately whiteface. Whitefaced animals that are yellow, gray, brown, brindle, or smoke are ineligible. • Only steers and heifers of English beef-type breeding under 30 months of age qualify — an animal expressing dairy or Bos indicus type breeding is not acceptable. • To qualify, cattle may be either horned or polled. Bulls, bullocks or cows are not acceptable.

What are the CHB carcass specifications?

• USDA Select or higher marbling • Yield Grade 4 and leaner • 600-1,000 lb. hot carcass weight • Moderately thick or thicker muscling • No dark cutters • A maturity only

Certified Hereford Beef® – Two Decades Strong Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC Supply Chain Manager Trey Befort answers questions on how the Certified Hereford Beef program has benefitted commercial cattlemen and added value to Hereford genetics in the past 20 years. How has the CHB program grown demand for Hereford genetics since it started in 1995? In the last 20 years, Certified Hereford Beef has grown from utilizing close to 32,000 head the first year, to over 230,000 this year. Those numbers prove that the demand and value of Hereford-influenced cattle has grown since the introduction of Certified Hereford Beef. What advantages does the CHB program provide to those buying Hereford genetics (bulls or females) in a commercial breeding operation? By creating demand for Hereford and HerefordBritish crossbred cattle, the Certified Hereford Beef program helps to add value to commercial operations utilizing Hereford genetics. As the Hereford breed continues to improve and Certified Hereford Beef continues to grow, I look for this added value to also increase and the demand for CHB cattle to continue to grow.

Hereford.org

What do you expect the marketplace to look like for Hereford genetics in the next 20 years? What role will CHB play in the changing marketplace? My expectations are high for Certified Hereford Beef and the Hereford breed in general over the next 20 years. As consumers continue to seek a higher-quality protein source, I believe CHB will play a key part in providing just that. With the increased growth of CHB and the continuous improvement of the Hereford breed, I believe the value and demand for Hereford genetics will continue to grow and an increased number of Herefordinfluenced cattle will be available in the marketplace. What advice do you have for a commercial cattleman looking to add value to his cows? The Hereford breed has a lot to offer. The amount of performance increase in the calves produced and the advantages of the Hereford-influenced female will be very apparent once Hereford genetics are introduced. I am confident that the AHA will continue to gain market share in the commercial industry as more tools are provided and additional research is performed to prove the value of Hereford genetics in an operation. All of this, along with the continued growth of CHB will allow a producer with a commercial cow herd using Hereford bulls to potentially see a noticeable increase in the value of their cattle. HW

Six Contending for AHA Board The American Hereford Association (AHA) nominating committee has announced six Hereford breeders are vying for positions on the AHA Board.

Peter Atkins Peter “Pete” Atkins and his wife, Laura, and three sons, Scott, Craig and Paul, own and operate Atkins Herefords, Tea, S.D. Pete was raised on a diversified cattle, hog and crop farming operation in southeastern South Dakota, where he and his wife live today. His parents, Alvin and Marguerite Atkins, purchased the family’s first Herefords in 1971 and have had as many as 100 registered cows at their peak in size. The Atkins family started collecting and reporting performance data in 1975 and has used artificial insemination (AI) since the late 1970s and embryo transfer (ET) for the past 10 years. Atkins Herefords’ goal is to produce high-performing cattle with moderate birth weights that have eye appeal and will work for the commercial cattleman. Emphasis is placed on raising sound, troublefree cattle, and udder quality in the cow herd is stressed heavily. Pete thinks it is important to use a balance of all tools available when selecting breeding stock. Today, Atkins Herefords consists of a base herd of 30 registered cows, and it produces an additional 20 to 50 ET calves each year. Together with their good friends and partners, the Jerry Delaney family, the Atkinses market bulls through a bull sale each January, and every other year they market females through a fall production sale. In the year between female production sales, females are offered at their fall preview event, which includes a customer appreciation dinner and previews that year’s calf crop along with the Denver prospects. Atkins Herefords consigns bulls and females to the Mile High Night Sale and exhibits carloads of bulls and pens of heifers with the Delaneys each year in Denver. Pete has served as a board member and president of the South Dakota Hereford Association. He is a board member for the John Leibel Memorial Scholarship and has been the chairman of the Sioux Empire Farm Show Hereford sale committee since its inception 15 years ago. He has served as a voting delegate at the AHA Annual Meeting and is a former field representative for the American Polled Hereford Association (APHA). He is also a board member for the 4-H Livestock Industry Trust Fund of South Dakota and a member and past church councilman of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Tea.

Craig Bacon Involved in the Hereford business since his youth, Craig Bacon and his wife, Debbie, own and operate Bacon Cattle and Sheep near Siloam Springs, Ark. Craig and Debbie have three children — Cassie Dorran, Justin and Amanda. Craig says, “The cattle have served as a great tool to raise our three children.” Last year marked the 21st consecutive junior national at which their family has exhibited cattle. All three of their children have served on the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board of directors and both Cassie and Amanda have served as National Hereford Queen. Craig’s start in the Hereford breed began with him showing Hereford cattle as a youth and has grown to a herd that now includes 100 cows. The family has made steady improvements in the quality of its seedstock. Last year the Bacons were recognized as the premier exhibitor at the Fort Worth Stock Show. Through the years, they have marketed cattle in state Hereford sales in Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas as well as in the Fort Worth

/ October 2015

sale and a breeder invitation sale in Illinois. They have developed a strong commercial bull customer base, selling 25% of their top bulls each year. Craig has been a longtime member of both the Arkansas and Missouri Hereford Associations. He served as the Arkansas Junior Hereford Association advisor from 1997 to 2007 and a voting delegate for Arkansas at the AHA Annual Meeting. The Bacon family hosted the youth PRIDE (Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel) Convention in 2014 and served on the host committee for the 2008 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Kansas City. He attended the 2012 World Hereford Conference. Craig has been actively involved in the meat industry. He currently leads Research and Development for Tyson Foods. He is the past president of the American Meat Science Association, and Signal Service Award recipient and Fellow for that same organization. He serves as chair-elect of the sponsor board for the National FFA and the board of trustees and chairs the finance committee for that same organization. He also serves as chair-elect of the Agricultural Development Council for the University of Arkansas, Division of Agriculture. He currently serves as an adjunct professor at both the University of Tennessee and the University of Arkansas.

Jim Bellis Hereford breeder Jim Bellis, Aurora, Mo., got his start in the business 46 years ago as a high school freshman. His interest in genetics and breed improvement began early in life. With a career in agriculture education, he grew his cow herd slowly, utilizing AI when affordable. He participated in the former APHA young sire testing program. For the existence of the program, the Bellis herd sampled young sires in comparison with proven reference sires. Jim operated Missouri’s only Gold Performance Bull Test, cooperating with breeders from four states in feeding up to 50 bulls each season. He was diligent in keeping both the bull and heifer calf crops together as contemporary groups to maximize the use of data utilized to calculate expected progeny differences (EPDs). He was one of the first breeders to put EPDs in his sale catalogs. The Bellis family first cooperated with other breeders for 14 annual or semiannual sales prior to starting its own production sale in 2005. It has also been a regular participant in the AHA’s National Reference Sire Program. Working to breed low-birth-weight and calving-ease bulls that don’t sacrifice the growth and carcass traits needed for topperforming cattle, the Bellises sell up to 60 Hereford bulls per year. They calve approximately 150 purebred females per year also, using mostly purebred females as recips for their ET program. Jim has been named purebred breeder of the year by the Missouri Beef Industry Council, as well as seedstock breeder of the year four times by the Missouri Hereford or Polled Hereford Associations. He has served as president of Missouri Cattlemen’s Association’s seedstock committee and is a past president of the Missouri Hereford Association. Professionally, after six years as a high school agriculture teacher, Jim began work for the state supervising Missouri high school agricultural education and FFA programs. He worked 24 years providing leadership to Missouri’s ag education programs with statewide enrollments more than doubling during his tenure. He then transitioned to Missouri State University’s (MSU) School of Agriculture in 2009, where he now serves as assistant to the Hereford.org

director for MSU’s Darr School of Agriculture in Springfield. Leading MSU’s recruitment efforts, in five years the agriculture enrollment has grown from about 380 to almost 700 this fall. In late 2013, Jim’s right leg was amputated below the knee due to clear cell sarcoma, a rare form of cancer. He describes the experience as a serious time of faith building, but prayers continue to be answered as regular scans show him as cancer free. He now wears a prosthetic. Jim and his wife, Carla, have two grown daughters — Jamie Johansen and Joanna Wilkinson — and a son, Jonathan, who is a senior at MSU.

Gary Buchholz Texas Hereford breeder Gary Buchholz and his wife, Kathy, own and operate GKB Cattle near Waxahachie. In the cattle business for 49 years and a Hereford breeder for 29 years, the couple has built a herd of 250 registered Herefords along with 100 females used as recipients for the GKB ET program. The couple focuses on producing cattle with the commercial bull buyer in mind. Gary and Kathy strive to produce practical cattle with an emphasis on soundness and structure, fertility, pounds per day of age and eye appeal. They also utilize EPDs and strive to keep a balance for both their commercial and registered customers. The GKB marketing program consists of offering females and bulls private treaty year-round at the ranch and participating in consignment sales. More than 40 GKB bulls are sold to commercial producers each year, with the goal of reaching 100 bulls. Gary and Kathy use the showring as a promotional tool. They agree the purpose of showing is not to win a banner but to have the opportunity to display their breeding program at the national level, reaching potential purebred and commercial customers. Gary has been active in the Texas Hereford Association, serving as president in 2014 and 2015 and on the executive committee for six years. Gary and Kathy are supporters of the NJHA. They served as NJHA board advisors from 2008 to 2013 and both were Texas Junior Hereford Association advisors from 2000 to 2003. The couple also donated the 2014 Foundation Female, which raised $125,000 for the Hereford Youth Foundation of America. Gary is a member of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association and the First Methodist Church. He also served as a director and officer of the Texas Shorthorn Association for six years and was an American Junior Shorthorn Association advisor for seven years.

Glen Klippenstein AHA Hall of Fame member Glen Klippenstein, Maysville, Mo., was born in Canada but has spent a lifetime raising Herefords in the U.S. Glen earned a bachelor’s degree in animal science from Pennsylvania State University. He moved his family from Pennsylvania to Missouri in the 1960s. In 1966 Glen became a partner in and operator of Glenkirk Farms (GK). GK produced many national champion polled Herefords and multi-trait leaders. Glen, known for his marketing savvy, has sold cattle, semen and embryos into 50 states and 22 countries. He had three sales in excess of $1.5 million and sold more than 7,000 bulls and 7,500 females. Glen served as chairman of the former APHA in 1983 and chairman of the Beef Promotion and Research Board in 1990 and 1991. He was a National Cattlemen’s Association director from 1984 to 1990 and membership chairman for two years. Following the GK dispersal in 1993, Glen and his family started Klippenstein Family Farms, which continues today. Glen’s children Hereford.org

participated in Hereford youth activities showing in 18 junior nationals through the years. Glen served as a Missouri senator from 1993 to 1994 and, by presidential appointment, served on the Federal Ag Mortgage Corporation board of directors. From 2000 to 2009, Glen served as chief executive officer of the American Chianina Association. He was named Missouri Seedstock Producer of the Year and Livestock Man of the Year in Missouri and inducted into the Livestock Publications Council Hall of Fame and the Missouri Hereford Association Hall of Fame. The Missouri Cattlemen’s Association presented him the Friend of the Industry Award and the Missouri Farm Bureau recognized him for his outstanding service to agriculture. Glen and his wife, Linda, have four adult children — Brian, Brett, Noel and Ivan — and eight grandchildren. He is a member and former board member of the New Christian Church.

Kyle Pérez New Mexico Hereford breeder Kyle Pérez has been involved in the Hereford industry since birth. Kyle and his dad, Michael, manage Pérez Cattle Co., formally known as C&M Herefords, on the ranch belonging to Kyle’s grandfather, Don Kuper, where they began raising Hereford cattle in 1945. Today Pérez Cattle Co. includes 550 registered and commercial mother cows that are managed on 22,000 acres. The Pérezes’ registered program is designed to raise quality seedstock that will advance both commercial and registered operations. Through the extensive use of AI and ET, the Pérez family is able to offer its bull and female clients the most modern and progressive genetics. The family sells females through Internet sales and registered yearling bulls by private treaty. Pérez Cattle Co.’s commercial cow herd is a combination of both Hereford and Angus genetics, with the primary goal of raising quality F1s. The operation markets 400 commercial calves annually, and for the past three years, its calves have been sold through the GAP (Good Agricultural Practices), Age and Source, and All Natural Verified programs. The area demands a low input cow that can survive in a harsh environment, so Kyle and his family continue to improve their cow herd by placing emphasis on efficiency, udder quality, fertility and performance along with visual appraisal. The Pérez family is committed to expanding its local bull market and family members pride themselves on showing their best range cattle that perform both in the pasture and in the showring. The Pérez family has exhibited cattle at national shows across the country and has had several national champions and reserve champions. This past fall the Pérez family was honored by the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association as the 2014 Ranch Family of the Year. As a youth, Kyle served on the NJHA board. During his junior career, he was named Junior Herdsman of the Year and National Champion Senior Showman. He was also awarded the John Wayne Memorial Award, the Future Cattleman’s Award and the Golden Bull Achievement Award. A graduate of Kansas State University, Kyle was a member of the livestock judging team and honored with the F.W. Bell Livestock Judging Award. Kyle is currently a member of both the New Mexico and the Texas Hereford Associations. He has attended the AHA Young Guns Conference and has served on the AHA nominating committee. In 2009 he was named the AHA Herdsman of the Year. He is a director for the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association, serves as his local county fair beef superintendent and is a member of St. Anne’s Catholic Church. Kyle and his wife, Tonya, have two children — Peyton and Libby. HW

Candidate Q&A All six candidates had a chance to respond to three questions. Below are the questions and the candidates’ responses. Why are you running for the Board? _______________________ Atkins __________________________

I have a passion for the breed and would be honored to help guide our Association during this time when we have great opportunities ahead of us. I would bring a broad range of experience to the Board. I am the owner and day-to-day manager of our herd in addition to working with our partners putting on production sales and exhibiting and marketing cattle at the national level. I have more than 22 years of experience in banking and finance, and today I am co-owner of a farm real estate and auction company. Over the years, I have seen Herefords at the top and near the bottom in the eyes of commercial producers, and I look forward to helping continue our current growth and success. Throughout my life, there has always been one thing that my co-workers and friends have known about Pete Atkins — I am a Hereford man to the bone. In 1981, as a member of the South Dakota State University livestock judging team, I was the “Hereford guy.” In a college setting at that time that title was not always considered a compliment, but it was a title I was proud to have and I am proud to have now. I consider it an honor to be running for the Board and, if elected, would work hard to do the best job possible.

_______________________ Bacon __________________________

I have a great passion for this breed and would be honored to help lead the Association. I believe the Hereford breed has a great future in front of us. Our family has truly been blessed by the relationships that we have made through this organization, and I would love to have the pleasure of giving back to this great group of breeders. I bring a different perspective to the Board with my meat industry experience that could be of use to our organization as we continue to make improvements to our cattle and products. I could also bring the experience of the youth activities to the Board as I have had the pleasure to participate in years of youth expos with my children. I have no agenda for serving on the Board, only to help the Association that has given so much to our family and me. I work in this industry because of my experiences as a youth involved with Hereford cattle.

_______________________ Bellis _ _________________________

I care deeply about both the Hereford people and Hereford cattle, and I desire to make a positive contribution to the future of our breed. I believe that I have a unique ability to connect with the young people in that I have spent a lifetime working with youth interested in a future in agriculture. Coming from humble beginnings as a first generation Hereford breeder, to survive and prosper I have embraced AHA performance programs. I have a strong interest in genetic research and breed improvement, both at the university and ranch levels.

_____________________ Buchholz _________________________ These are the three main reasons why I’m running for the AHA Board:

• To help new members become more familiar with the AHA and learn how the AHA benefits them and the breed.

• To give a cowman’s opinion on current working conditions of the Association.

• To represent working ranches and to convey their opinions to the Association.

____________________ Klippenstein _______________________

Cattle, especially Hereford cattle, have been my primary intent all of my life. Though my family — now my wife, Linda, four children and eight grandchildren — has relatively few Herefords, the numbers are growing and will continue to do so. We once had more than 600 cows, sold more than 5,000 Hereford bulls and a similar number of registered females. In addition, we’ve always had polled and horned Hereford cattle and several other breeds so our customers could purchase their bulls from one source for crossbreeding purposes. Having been a past chairman of the APHA (American Polled Hereford Association), a chairman of the Beef Promotion and Research Board (beef check-off program), a Missouri State Representative and a State Senator, I feel an obligation to use my knowledge and contacts. The AHA Board would be an excellent way to invest what I can offer and truly enjoy doing it.

_______________________ Pérez _ _________________________

The Hereford breed is truly my passion. Our family’s livelihood depends solely on the cattle industry, and therefore the progress of the breed has an impact on our daily lives. I am fully committed to the improvement and betterment of Hereford cattle, the marketability of the breed and the strengthening of our Association. The breed is certainly at an exciting and pivotal point and I believe my first-hand experience gained from our diverse operation allows me the ability to relate with a wide range of producers. If your operation is driven by the sale of purebred bulls, geared toward raising elite show heifer prospects or based on the commercial sector, I can relate because all segments need to be successful for our personal operation to succeed. When the nominating committee approached me, I was humbled to have this opportunity, and it would truly be an honor to serve this Association.

What are some goals or ideas you have for the Association? _______________________ Atkins __________________________ The primary purpose of the AHA is to promote the Hereford breed and to support its members. I believe that there are opportunities in the following areas:

• Providing registration and other services to the membership as efficiently as possible.

• Promoting Herefords through the growth of Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®).

• Educating commercial cattlemen to the benefits of using Hereford genetics in their operations.

• Expanding the use of proven genetic evaluation tools to promote breed improvement.

_______________________ Bacon __________________________

I believe that the junior program is of great importance to this organization. Our future is bright as we look to the exceptional youth program that we have. It is important that we keep supporting and helping this experience. Many youth will develop a lifetime of love for Hereford cattle from these experiences. I think that we need to continue to help set the direction for the best ways that our breed can develop and provide a superior product to our consumers. We need to continue to work with our CHB program to provide a product that has deeper retail and foodservice brand penetration. Furthermore, I think that it is important that we continue to streamline and make the process of registering and processing efficient and breeder friendly. Great strides have been made, but continuous improvement should always be the goal of the Association. Finally, I believe that the most important goal that I would have as a potential member of the Board is to be a good listener, to process the inputs and to react with best interest of breed vitality in mind.

_______________________ Bellis _ _________________________

My first goal is to continue to grow the market share for Hereford cattle. We must continue to mature the CHB program as well as live cattle value. The best way to build demand is to persist in improving both marbling and ribeye. As genetic technology continues to advance, our breed will endure by utilizing every tool available. There’s much research to do in feed efficiency, carcass quality and real-world production of Hereford cattle. We need to grow our National Reference Sire Program and to make it available to a wide segment of breeders. It is my goal to listen to breeders and to refine Association services to assist members to reach their individual goals.

_____________________ Buchholz _________________________ My goal is to make Association processes more user friendly for new breeders. This includes registering calves, learning about genomics and EPDs.

Hereford.org

____________________ Klippenstein _______________________

All good strategies start with listening to your constituents (the breeders). What are the bright spots? What things do we do better than any other breed? What is core to our breed and what things should be improved? Certainly as we look at our breed we have a lot to be proud of, but those who separate themselves do so with a continuous improvement attitude and with stated strategy that all of the membership can rally behind.

• Grow Hereford breed market share. • Industry and breed association cooperation and collaboration should be high priorities.

• Explore non-traditional ways to serve our commercial customers so we can connect and mutually profit.

• Continue to grow EPD accuracies with more synergies with phenotype and genotype.

_______________________ Bellis _ _________________________ In a global beef market, the U.S. beef advantage is the production of high-quality, grain-fed beef. Hereford needs continued emphasis in improving carcass quality. A related area, though, is that grass-fed or partially grass-fed beef may also be important to unique niche markets, but the breed has little data to help define which Hereford genetics fit best in the grass-fed scenario. Tenderness and flavor are also factors that can affect market share. A related issue to this is the discount red-hided cattle can still receive in sale barn or other market venues. I believe we are making strides in reducing this disparity, but if we can document the feed efficiency factor, we can change the old rules very quickly. I believe we need to document the efficiency of our breed as a whole, while also identifying the cattle within our breed which are the outliers to really push our breed to even better feed efficiency. In the better times of the cattle price cycle, we must make investments that will pay bonuses five to 10 years down the road. Our Association is currently doing a great job in providing direction for our breed, but we must continue to identify areas where we can improve.

• Continue to get more useable data to increase carcass values and to direct breeders to more profit.

• Strongly continue to support and inspire our youth. • Exploit the advantages of temperament, feed efficiency, crossing ability, longevity (especially of our bulls), fertility, rustling ability, our breeders’ reputations and the satisfying eating experience of Hereford beef.

_______________________ Pérez _ _________________________

It’s encouraging that so many of our progressive Hereford breeders have utilized genomic testing. A lot of popular pedigrees today are now comprised of three and four generations of ET matings. Many of these cattle have not been ratioed against their contemporaries for several generations. I would like to see more genomic data turned in, especially on ET calves, to ensure the predictability and consistency of the best genetics the breed has to offer. There has been a lot of time and effort devoted to the CHB program, and I believe we have made great strides. In order to take the next step, I think our commercial cow-calf producers need to see a more competitive premium when compared to other niche markets. I do realize there are many factors that go into the equations for profitability, but I still believe that there needs to be a greater incentive for commercial breeders to seek out Hereford genetics. I would like to see the AHA continue to explore more research projects such as the Olsen and Harris Ranch programs to expose the true benefits of Hereford genetics. I think one of the most impressive and economical traits that Hereford and Hereford-influenced cattle offer is their ability to convert and perform on the range and in the feed yard during the extreme heat months of the summer. It is a necessity that we strive to keep our exiting junior membership engaged as adult breeders. The strength of our junior program is outstanding, and we need to capitalize on our juniors’ talents and connections to the younger generations to propel the Hereford breed into the years to come.

What is the biggest issue the AHA will face in the next five to 10 years? How does the Board prepare to face that issue? _______________________ Atkins __________________________

I think the biggest issue is maintaining and improving the quality of cattle in the breed while supplying increased demand from the commercial industry. Our breed is gaining momentum and popularity among commercial cattle producers. As breeders we need to capitalize on this opportunity but also to keep the long term in mind. Now more than ever the quality of what we put into the hands of commercial producers is crucial. Many cattlemen are coming back to Herefords for the first time in years, and we need to provide them with a high-quality product and to stand behind what we sell. Commercial producers with black cows need genetics that will complement and cross well with their herds. We have a great opportunity to fill that need. Maintaining and improving quality and raising Herefords that will work for the commercial producer are going to be key points to ensure the future of our breed. It is the responsibility of the AHA to support the membership and provide them the tools necessary in their effort to put Herefords on top.

_______________________ Bacon __________________________

Sometimes the biggest challenge for organizations is when things are going well and the organization becomes complacent. During these times, some forget about the fundamentals and become relaxed in their focus and initiatives. We stand on unprecedented times of record cattle prices, Hereford cattle interest and a youth program that is enviable. This is the time for the organization to focus on how we can distance ourselves from other purebred cattle. What will it take to do so? What should our strategic focus be?

Hereford.org

_____________________ Buchholz _________________________ In my opinion the biggest issues are:

• Keeping quality, soundness and performance in bulls, combined with a moderate birth weight.

• Communication: Keeping the membership of the Association updated

with new information and trends and then teaching them how to utilize what they are taught in their operation.

____________________ Klippenstein _______________________ We as Hereford breeders and producers must understand that we are in the food business, we are in the grass, forage and grain business and we are in the people business. All agricultural interests including the huge beef cattle segment should keep all our antennas out so we are highly aware of our opportunities, pitfalls and challenges. Our farms and ranches may be somewhat isolated, but we must not be. This planet is getting smaller and those of us engaged in genetics, production and marketing have increasingly more to gain or lose. Technology is all about us. Our common sense and ability to combine the best of the old and the new will probably determine our futures. Our response will be best directed from a diverse, intense, unselfish board and breeders that also act in the interest of the whole with their continued input.

_______________________ Pérez _ _________________________

One of the challenges I think the breed has faced and is still facing in some instances is Hereford perception. The breed has seen enormous growth in our junior programs. The success is due to outstanding leadership, opportunity and the family atmosphere the NJHA and AHA offer their membership. Yet, on the flip side, I still personally see many sale barns, order buyers and cowmen not totally convinced of the benefits of straight Hereford cattle. As breeders we have made huge genetic progress in the consistency and predictability of our cattle with the tools that are available. The challenge is to continue to convince influential industry leaders of the advantages of Hereford genetics. This can be overcome through education of younger generations, research and the continued efforts of our breeders to improve their herds. In addition, I think that there is becoming a bigger gap between real-world functional cattle and the showring atmosphere. We need to be cautious that our Hereford shows don’t follow the trends of many hobby breeds and instead continue to select and breed for cattle that will generate a positive contribution to the breed. I believe to keep a united front in the industry we need to continue to select judges who have firsthand experience in all segments of cattle production. At the end of the day, we as breeders are responsible for the direction of our breed and the standard that our shows set. As more commercial producers turn to Hereford genetics, we need to be providing cattle that are going to capitalize on the opportunity. HW

40 Years of Royalty

he National Hereford Women (NHW) will be celebrating the past and future of the state and national queen program at the 40 Years of Royalty party on Oct. 31 at 3:30 p.m. in the Governors Room on the American Royal grounds. The celebration for the 40th anniversary of the National Queen program will also include recognition of all past state and national queens. The Hereford queen legacy reaches back much farther than 40 years in Hereford history, and the NHW wants to also recognize all of those who have been involved in representing the breed. As NHW reflects on the growth and development of the queen program today, many changes have occurred, yet the foundation has stayed much the same. “The goal for the state queen program in the start was to represent the breed and add some class to the shows,” says Kay Morgan of Morgan Ranch, Burwell, Neb. “These foundational goals continue, and following the merger of the two women’s organizations we have seen the queen program expand its reach while providing new opportunities for young ladies.”

This celebration is about more than a title of National Hereford Queen; it is about all of those who have supported the state and national queens for decades. “The NHW is excited to host this event during the American Royal this year with the hopes of bringing together numerous past state and national queens along with all of those who have supported this program,” says NHW board member Barbara Metch, Canton, Texas. Past state and national queens, along with any who have supported the program through the years are welcome to attend. HW

The Cycle Isn’t Broken Understanding the cattle price cycle will help beef producers prepare for market lows. by Julie White

reparing for market highs and lows will help the cow-calf producer remain profitable during the natural swings of the cattle price cycle, according to CattleFax Analyst Lance Zimmerman during the Trends+ cow-calf webinar hosted by CattleFax and Elanco. Understanding risk and making a plan are advantageous for a cattleman to have a sustainable business.

Market outlook Since record-high levels in fall 2014, Mike Murphy, CattleFax analyst, said there has been a lot of pressure on the market but a lot of volatility influencing the market outside producers’ control. Feedstuff market projections for the next six to 10 months will benefit the cow-calf producer. “From a feedstuff perspective we’ll certainly see favor to the cow-calf producer with cheaper feedstuffs in the short term, but more importantly not a lot of volatility going into next spring,”

/ October 2015

Murphy said. “Then we’ll be looking toward the next crop as we evaluate the second half of next year.” Murphy explained that the corn supply is in a comfortable situation, and volatility will be limited, though there will be some swings in the market. “For the 2015-16 marketing year, looking at the bottom line, supply or production side, this will be a sizable corn crop,” Murphy said. “From a supply standpoint we are comfortable. We don’t really have an enormous demand base today out there in the market place for corn from the U.S. It’s still very strong, but it’s not what you define as a growing demand base. From a usage standpoint, we’re talking about the same amount of corn used this year as we used the previous marketing year — 13.7 to 13.8 billion bushel of corn in terms of utilization.” On the forage side, Murphy expects alfalfa hay prices to remain strong. “What’s keeping

that market supported is the drought on the west coast,” he explains. “A lot of alfalfa is raised in that California, Oregon and Washington region.” Grass hay is experiencing some weakness, and it’s expected to remain in that trend until next spring and summer. “There’s plenty of hay being put up this summer as we had an exceptional spring and summer through the central plains region,” Murphy said. “We expect more of that grass hay value decline.” Forecasting to the next year, Murphy said he expects a large increase in the beef cow number of 1.3 million head in 2016. “Beef cow slaughter has been running consistently 16-19% below year ago levels,” he said. “The heifer retention that took place in the second half of 2014, those heifers are turning into cows and will be part of the cow inventory here on Jan. 1, 2016.” The expansion trend will continue into 2017-18, but the rate is unknown. “Mother nature will play a role as to what this inventory will look like further down the road,” Murphy said. “A nearly two million head increase in two years is historically significant.”

Roadmap for ranches Zimmerman said the cattle and beef industry is coming off a market high and a period where the most equity is at risk. “We all recognize that the markets have an emotional component to them,” he explained. “It’s easy for us to recognize we hit a period of euphoria. Now we are going through this transition and could be in a stage of anxiety and we’re eventually going to hit a depression. We’re in equity preservation mode. When we get to cycle lows whether that’s two or five years away, we can recognize those lows that present us opportunities so we can best maximize those opportunities.” Cattlemen should recognize that the risk is at a high right now, and they should stick to a plan or formulate one to navigate the upcoming market change. “We see that 550-lb. calf values have dropped $42/cwt., that’s $230/ head, from highs on average. Volatility remains extreme. The price change on week-to-week basis has been $3.06/cwt. and up 8.5% in a 10-year average.” Cow-calf producers who have been benefitting from the market upswing are starting to lose leverage in the market place. “In exceptionally tight cattle supplies and exceptionally high demand, buyers weren’t very discriminating in terms of quality, location or type of cattle,” Zimmerman said. “But we’re starting to see those price differences enter back into the market.”

Zimmerman suggests considering the questions below to help cow-calf producers build business goals and better equip their operations for the natural cattle market cycle. 1) What do I consider a success in a given market year? 2) How much risk am I willing to accept? 3) Are the calves or feeder cattle I own hedged at a profit or loss? 4) Why did I execute that hedge strategy on those feeder cattle? 5) Can I build a hedging strategy in today’s market environment to ensure a profit on my cattle? Understanding the cattle price cycle is important, Zimmerman said. “The cycle is not broken. Profitability breeds optimism and fuels cow herd expansion. Prices are going to make corrections. What do we do now that we recognize that we are on the downward swing of the traditional cattle price cycle?” Zimmerman said the cattle price cycle typically has four components. The “up cycle” is the high point and what was experienced at the end of 2014. Currently the cycle is in “transition years,” and a “down cycle” is the bottom with lowest cattle prices with significant losses. Following the down cycle is another transition to the up cycle. To enhance cow-calf margins, Zimmerman suggests cattlemen 1) reduce production cost, 2) increase the value of calves and cull cows, 3) develop or improve marketing and risk management plans, and 4) retain ownership through the stocker and/or feedlot segments. “Get your operation in a position so that during the peaks you are building cash reserves,” Zimmerman said. “You are selling more calves, selling more breeding females and putting the cash in the bank. When you get to periods when the cycle is reaching its troughs, that’s when you build the operation. Look for ways to accumulate more pasture, cull deeper into the cow herd and work to retain more useful bred females and grow your herd base.” This advice is contradictory to what has been seen during this time in the cycle. “Everyone around you is focused on sitting back and building up the cow herd as prices are at their highest point at their peak and they are liquidating at the lows. It’s not easy to execute, but producers who can position themselves to behave in this manner can find themselves more successful longer term and better positioned to weather the storms in the troughs of the cycles.” HW Hereford.org

making factory or a manufacturer of cookies or candy bars. “Food companies have to get rid of cull products occasionally and cattlemen have fed these,” Bohnert says. “You have to be careful how much you feed and have to balance the diet appropriately, but these are all things that can be utilized. A nutritionist here in Oregon once created a ration using cherry pies, candy bars and corn flakes as part of the energy base, and the cattle did fine on it.”

Feeding Outside the Box

The rumen advantage

Explore alternative feed options for your herd. by Heather Smith Thomas

hen traditional feeds are in short supply or have become expensive, stockmen often consider alternatives. There are a number of non-traditional feeds that can be used, according to David Bohnert, beef Extension specialist and ruminant nutritionist at Oregon State University’s Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center at Burns, Ore.

Non-traditional forages

“Some of the non-traditional forages coming into use in this part of the country include teff and triticale,” he says. “You can cut these for hay and also graze them. Teff is a warm season

annual grass, similar in some ways to coastal Bermuda grass.” Bohnert says common alternative feeds in the Northwest and in some other regions include grass seed straw, distiller’s grains, which have been shown to be a good energy and protein supplement, and bailed or grazed cornstalks. Cull onions, turnips, potatoes, carrots, dry beans and other vegetables are available in some areas. Vegetable waste from food processing can be useful, depending on location and how it is fed. Bakery waste and other wasted food can sometimes be added into cattle rations if cattlemen are in an area where there’s a bread-

Bohnert explains that the beef cow has the advantage of a large rumen. “When looking at possibilities, we need to think outside the box,” he says. As long as there are no toxins in the feed, the rumen microbes can ferment and use nearly anything as a source of energy or protein. It’s important, however, that the product is fed in appropriate amounts. “This is the wonderful thing about ruminants,” Bohnert says. “We can take advantage of their ability to digest low-quality forages that otherwise would never get used, but these often need to be supplemented with protein and/ or energy.” According to Bohnert, there are numerous possibilities when it comes to feedstuff cattle can be fed. “Some of the liquid syrup from distillers grains, or from making alcohol, can be useful if you can figure out a way to feed it,” he says. Alternative feeds can help lower feed costs. “The main thing that limits their use is location,” he explains. “You must be fairly close to where they are produced or it will cost too much to transport them to your place, especially the ones that have high moisture content like cull potatoes or onions. Otherwise you are paying a lot for hauling water.” Moisture content is also a concern when feeding a product in cold weather. “For instance, a wet vegetable waste may be too frozen to handle, to transport or to feed,” Bohnert explains. “But if you can get the vegetable waste all at once and put it in a silo, it could make good silage. You don’t need a big silo if you have the ability to bag the feed. It might be worthwhile to purchase a bagger if you know you’ll have access to a certain product long-term. Then you can mix it with your low quality grass hay or straw. Once it’s fermented it can be fed year round, even in very cold weather.” Wet distiller’s grain is a good alternative in some areas, like the Midwest. “Anywhere there’s an ethanol plant, you might be able to utilize this by-product.

“When you get into some of the regional foodstuffs that may have different moisture content and growing conditions, nutrient levels may be variable. They need to be tested for nutrient content, and then you can work them properly into a ration, or have your extension agent or a nutritionist help you formulate a diet that will be appropriate.” — David Bohnert But if you live more than 50 miles away, it becomes less economical because of transport costs,” he explains. Not every operation can use wet distiller’s grain effectively.

Test alternatives When exploring alternative feed sources, cattlemen are encouraged to consider potential contaminants or toxins. “If you’re using something like turnips or camelina meal you need to think about glucosinolates which can affect thyroid function,” Bohnert says. Camelina meal is a by-product of processing camelina seeds for oil extraction in biodiesel production. This oil meal may contain up to 20% fat and, normally, about 35% crude protein. “Another alternative feed in our region is grass seed straw — the aftermath from growing grass seed,” Bohnert says. “If it’s fescue or perennial ryegrass, it may contain endophyte fungi, which produce toxins. People who graze pastures or put up hay using these forages often have the same problem, which can also occur with any plants that might have ergot alkaloids.” These can cause potential problems with reproduction Hereford.org

Storage situation Storage is another issue with some alternative feeds. Beef producers should ask themselves: How will wet feed be stored if it’s not delivered every day? Can it be stored in a grain bin or silo? “Distiller’s grains contain some fat and tend to bind and bridge in a grain bin, which means someone has to get in there and knock it down, which can be dangerous,” Bohnert says. “There are many things to think about when choosing a feed you haven’t used before.” Cattlemen should also learn how to properly feed the alternative choice. For example, Bohnert says, “When feeding turnips or cull potatoes, there’s some risk for choke and you might want to drive over them with a tractor to break them up a little. Distillers grain is best fed in troughs because you lose too much if you feed it on the ground.” Bohnert says one producer he has worked with uses old belting. “You could put this along a fence so the cattle could only have access to one side of it to minimize trampling and walking over the belting and feedstuff. In the Southwest we fed cubes with a feeder on the back of the pickup or trailer that lets the cubes fall on the ground as we drive along. A person could do this with distillers grain along the fence, on top of thick belting to keep it out of the dirt.”

Feed bunks can also be inexpensively constructed. Bohnert recalls when a study on distiller’s grain as a feed source was being conducted at Oregon State University, and the researchers acquired old torpedo tubes that the government was getting rid of. “These were aluminum, lightweight and made great feed bunks,” Bohnert says.

Quantity and quality When using a non-traditional feed, producers must figure out how much to give the cattle. “Some alternative feeds can be fed in substantial amounts while others should be fed in limited amounts because of the fat content or other factors,” Bohnert says. “They should be limited to a certain portion of diet, but you don’t always know how much.” Many alternative feeds are not routinely fed, so there’s not a lot of data on their nutrient content and no established criteria for how much you should feed. “By contrast, we have a very good idea about the nutrient content of common feedstuffs such as corn, barley and soybean meal,” he says. “When you get into some of the regional foodstuffs that may have different moisture content and growing conditions, nutrient levels may be variable. They need to be tested for nutrient content, and then you can work them properly into a ration, or have your extension agent or a nutritionist help you formulate a diet that will be appropriate.” Assumptions shouldn’t be made on how a certain feed will work until moisture and nutrient levels are known. If the feedstuff contains mostly water, the cattle would need to consume more and they may not do very well on that feed. “I know one producer who wanted to feed onions and haul them from the Ontario area over here, to Burns,” Bohnert explains. “He was thinking it would be a good deal, and actually had a nutrient analysis conducted. But when we calculated how much dry matter he was getting per ton, we realized he could buy alfalfa hay cheaper, especially after figuring the hauling costs.” He adds that cattlemen should look at all the costs and compare appropriately. “When hauling 10 tons of onions, you may only have two tons of dry matter,” he says. “With alfalfa hay, you might have eight tons of dry matter

“Many of the alternative feeds should be tested.” — David Bohnert Hereford.org

or interfere with proper blood circulation to the extremities. In winter poor circulation may result in frozen ears, tails or even feet. “A few years ago one producer here lost nearly 600 cows,” he says. “He was feeding fescue grass seed straw and didn’t have it tested. When weather got cold, the cows froze their feet. When using alternative feeds, you need to be aware of things like moisture content, and potential concerns about toxins or contaminants like mold. For example, corn can have deadly aflatoxins, and other feedstuffs are also apt to mold if they are wet.” Producers considering a feed source that they’re unfamiliar with should get advice on testing it from their university Extension service. “Many of the alternative feeds should be tested. Distillers grains are a good source of energy and protein but can have high sulfur levels, which can cause “polio” in cattle,” says Bohnert.

in a 10-ton load. You have to calculate it by dry matter, to see if it’s actually feasible to feed or supplement with a certain type of product. If you are using it as a supplement, do it on the energy or protein basis.” If cattle have some form of roughage as a filler, even alfalfa hay works well as a supplement to balance the ration. “Even with alfalfa high priced, when you compare it with some of our other supplement options, it may still pencil out because currently most of them are higher priced as well. In our area, alfalfa is still very competitive with soybean meal and some of the other protein supplements,” Bohnert explains. Feedstuffs should also be researched before a purchasing decision is made. “Is there any data available on this product, or any university research? Have your neighbors fed it? Talk to someone who has experience with it to get some kind of guidelines on how to feed it. You may find something about the feedstuff on the Internet but still might want to talk with your county agent and find more information, and find some way to filter the ‘real’ information from the unreliable. Otherwise you may find someone claiming a certain feed is the best thing in the world, but they’ve never fed it,” Bohnert says. “Do your homework to see if there is any research available on the product you are looking at.”

Reliable supply Another consideration when deciding to use a nontraditional feed as part of a ration for cattle is to ensure a continued supply will be available.

“You may want to consider a purchase agreement,” Bohnert says. “In Northeastern Oregon some producers have run into a problem with figuring out consistent supply of feedstuffs. Let’s say you are interested in using potato waste, and the potato plant may say you can have their potato waste, but you have to take it all, every day. So you decide to take it all, and base your ration on this product.” He adds, “Then you feed it for a few weeks, and the potato plant then tells you they don’t have enough anymore or they are changing the product. You’ve just based your long-term nutritional plan on this product and suddenly don’t have it. If you are counting on a certain foodstuff long-term, it’s good to have a purchasing agreement established with the company you are buying it from. If you are just buying a load or two, it’s not such a big issue. It all depends on your situation.” While there’s no magic formula or an alternative feed that will work for everyone, Bohnert says it pays to look around and see what’s available in the area. “Hauling, with diesel prices so high, is a big factor,” he explains. “You can’t afford to haul anything very far. Unless you live near a railhead, you won’t have cheap hauling. You need to find something grown locally that a cow could eat. It may be something next door that you haven’t thought about, or that you were not aware might be available. It might be something someone has been composting, or needs to get rid of, and you could utilize it. If you see someone producing something that cattle might be able to eat, talk to them.” HW

Purina Animal Nutrition Center sources black baldie replacement females from Kaczmareks 4K Herefords in Salem, Mo.

Feeding Fieldwork To learn what works for the commercial cattleman through nutrition research, the Purina Animal Nutrition Center utilizes a black baldie cow herd for its efficiency and productivity. by Julie White

earning how nutrition affects livestock, companion animals and wildlife is what the Purina Animal Nutrition Center works toward each day on its 1,200 acre farm. For beef cattle, Chris Forcherio, Purina Animal Nutrition beef

research manager, says individuals at the research facility have chosen a black baldie base herd for their nutrition research. In the rolling hills of eastern Missouri, the Purina farm near Gray Summit has 110 to 120 black baldie cows. “The cows are here

to produce calves, but their main function is research,” Forcherio says. “We treat them a little differently than what a commercial facility will or a purebred breeder will but they are here to eat feed — that’s their goal in life — to test the products we want to put out in the industry from mineral to liquid supplements to blocks to tubs.” The Purina team also tests intake levels for the company’s products. “We don’t put those products out in the world to sell until we are confident they are going to perform the way we think they ought to perform,” he adds.

A cross that works

/ October 2015

Forcherio says he uses this cross for several reasons, and one is history. “Up until the mid-80s, Purina had a ranch in northeastern Oklahoma where they conducted most of their cow-calf research, and baldie cows were a part of the program. The ranch had 19 research pastures that each were a quarter section in size. Hereford cows were bred to Angus bulls to produce the F1 baldie offspring.” The replacements selected from the baldie heifers from those matings stayed at the ranch.

Remaining heifers and steers were used for growing cattle studies at the research farm in Gray Summit. “We’ve kept that cross because we are a commercial herd,” Forcherio says. “If you think about the baldie, in my mind that’s probably one of the best commercial cows that I want here in the fescue belt. You get efficiency from the Hereford side and with Angus those just marry together to get hybrid vigor. It gets you a good moderate framed cow for the forages we have here.” Today, their cows are mated to Charolais bulls, a cross they have been using for many years. The farm purchased bred heifers as replacements until 2014, because they didn’t have the facilities to take a weaning animal, grow it to breeding, calve it out and rebreed it. The heifers brought in were bred to calve at the same time as the facility’s cows, which is late February, March and early April. “This year we have worked with Joe Kaczmarek nearby in Salem, Mo., who has purebred Herefords and are generating commercial F1s,” Forcherio explains. “We purchased our first set of baldie heifers from the Hereford.org

Hereford Influence sale in 2014, and we hope to do so again in 2015. Our long-term goal is to work with Joe to select potential replacements at his facility after they have been weaned.” Forcherio says it’s to their advantage to take the heifer calves at weaning and to develop them according to their program. “That way we can tell the story to our ranchers here visiting that this is how we do it and this is what our objectives are,” he adds. “We’ll take those heifers and calve them out in the spring, and they’ll stay separate from the cow herd until they wean their second calf and are bred with their third. Once they wean their second calf, they will then be placed with the other mature cows being used in our nutritional research programs. Prior to that, these girls are still growing. I don’t want to put a young, developing female in with a bunch of mature cows because they need to be fed differently,” he says. Purina is currently working with about a 70-75 day calving season, since clean up bulls are turned in 14 days after a timed AI. The bulls are in with the cows for 60 days. “Our ultimate goal is to reduce our breeding season to 60-65 days that includes both the AI and clean-up periods,” Forcherio explains. “We are proud of our success rate this first year. Some years it is hard to get conception rates in the 90% range in the fescue belt, especially in a short, defined breeding season.”

Securing replacements Forcherio says it’s also important that the replacements they are purchasing are grown on fescue. “Environment plays a big role and working with someone that is raising cattle on fescue is important to us,” he says. “Joe is very similar to us. He’s analytical, likes numbers, likes to see results and likes to think outside the box in how to make things better.” Kaczmarek owns Kaczmareks 4K Herefords along with his

parents Bill and Roberta, and brother, Tony. “My parents started the herd in 1971 when they bought their first Herefords,” Kaczmarek says. “They liked docility and longevity. They’ve always been very much on the cutting edge of trying to breed something new, something different. My brother, who is a doctor, and I came back seven years ago and decided to get the herd going again. We’ve taken over the herd and have also started our own herds.” Kaczmareks calve around 325 cows and 75 heifers a year. “These are not all Hereford cows,” he explains. “We’ve kept back certain F1s through the years and we’ve been building our recip herd for embryo transfers.” Kaczmarek says his customers seek their black baldie females because of the many advantages the cross breeding provides. “The black baldie will inherit many of the positive traits of Hereford cattle such as docility, longevity and fertility. The greatest result of the cross breeding of Hereford and Angus cattle is heterosis. Due to this process, the average breeder will be able to wean calves anywhere from 40-60 lb. heavier. Refer to Circle A Ranch Heterosis Research Project, Harris Ranch Heterosis Research Project, and/or Simplot Livestock Co. Research Project on the American Hereford Association website (Hereford.org/TheyWantitAll).” Kaczmareks use Purina feed starting with creep feed while the calves are still on their mothers, and then they are switched to Precon®. “We put them on a ration that Purina came up with for us — it’s a 30% Accuration formulation with corn and other minerals,” he says. “We run those for about 45 days while they are weaning and then they are ready to go. We schedule them for market at the end of October or early November. We make it our standard to administer our heifers with three rounds of vaccinations prior to going to market.”

“If you think about the baldie, in my mind that’s probably one of the best commercial cows that I want here in the fescue belt. You get efficiency from the Hereford side and with Angus those just marry together to get hybrid vigor. It gets you a good moderate framed cow for the forages we have here.” — Chris Forcherio “A cattleman who has purchased our heifers and bred them throughout the years has had great success at the Show-MeSelect Sale. These heifers topped the market on their particular day of sale. Many cattlemen begin calling in October asking when our F1s will be going to market. Our repeat customers know our reputation and can depend on our cattle enhancing their herd.”

“We have a lot of people who call us starting in October wanting to know when they’re going to market so they can try to buy them. It’s not just the cattle themselves — it’s the total program — feeding and getting them ready.” Forcherio concludes, “I’ve always thought the HerefordAngus cross is one of the most efficient, productive females.” HW

Limit-feeding

Strategies for Beef Cows by Julie Walker, South Dakota State University (SDSU) Extension beef specialist and Warren Rusche, SDSU Extension cow/calf field specialist, courtesy of iGrow.org.

ypical beef cow management strategies call for maximizing forage use, and supplementation strategies are often designed to optimize forage intake and digestibility. One of the most cost effective methods of producing beef is by using feedstuffs that other livestock species cannot use. However, environmental and/or financial conditions sometimes cause producers to consider alternative feeding systems. When costs of forages are relatively high, such as those resulting from drought, cows can be drylotted on other feed resources. Limit-feeding rations containing either grains or hay that may lower cost per day can be designed to meet the cow’s nutrient requirements.

Limit-fed grain or byproduct-based diets Limit-feeding of grain or byproduct-based diets has been used effectively to provide nutrition to wintering beef cows. In certain circumstances, a limit-fed grain-based diet for gestating cows may be more economical than forage-based diets, especially if there are significant transportation expenses associated with buying hay. Alternatively, a limit-feeding strategy in a drylot may help producers avoid selling productive cows in a depressed market. In these situations, a minimum amount of roughage is provided to maintain rumen health and to minimize digestive upsets, and then limited amounts of energy dense feeds that have a lower cost per unit of dietary energy are used to provide the balance of the required nutrients. Research conducted during the winter feeding period at The Ohio State University (OSU) has shown that pregnant cows can be fed

diets with as little as 3 lb. of hay plus corn and supplements to meet requirements. The cows received 2 lb. of supplement (protein, vitamins and minerals plus an ionophore) and 12 to 14 lb. of whole shelled corn per day. Performance was similar between cows on the limited-hay diet compared to cows given free-choice first-cutting orchard grass hay. This result would be expected since the cows’ nutrient requirements were being met by both diets. However, the cows on the limited forage diets did appear to be hungry. Research conducted at Purdue University (Purdue) showed that hay intake (DM basis) could be limited to 0.5% of a cow’s body weight (BW). Researchers compared performance during the last trimester of gestation of cows fed at 0.5, 1 and 2% of BW of hay DM per day. Nutrient requirements were met by balancing the rations with whole shelled corn, protein supplement, minerals and vitamins. Cows fed any of the three levels of hay had similar performance when fed orchard grass hay (12.2% CP) in year 1 (Table 1). When lower quality hay (7.8% CP) was used in year 2, there were differences in weight gain over the 105-day feeding period. Cows on the 0.5 and 1% hay treatments gained more weight than those on the 2% treatment. Other grain sources can be used successfully to limit-feed cows. In a trial at the SDSU Cottonwood Research Station, researchers compared the performance of wintering cows in late gestation fed limited amounts of alfalfa hay (1.6% of BW) to that of cows fed diets where rolled barley replaced alfalfa hay at either 29 or 67% of the diet dry matter. Cows fed the barley-based diets gained more weight and body condition than did cows fed alfalfa hay. The choice of grain would ultimately depend upon costs and availability. Byproducts of grain processing can also be utilized as substitutes for hay. These feeds can be especially useful in beef cow diets because of higher levels of digestible fiber and reduced starch content compared to grains. Using highly digestible fiber sources such as soybean hulls, wheat middlings, or distiller’s grains can help avoid potential digestive problems associated with feeding grain-based (starch) diets while maintaining energy intake. In a study conducted at OSU, gestating beef cows were fed diets based on hay or limited amounts of shelled corn or dried distiller’s grains (DDGS) such that all diets met or exceeded NRC (National Research Council) cow requirements. Cows fed DDGS gained more weight during gestation, but there were no differences in subsequent reproductive performance. Cows that were limit-fed either corn or DDGS did have calves with increased birth weights, but there were no differences in the incidence of calving difficulty. When utilizing byproduct feeds, particularly ethanol byproducts, it is important to make sure that nutrients, such as sulfur and fat, do not exceed maximum recommended levels. Dietary sulfur should not exceed 0.3% for cattle consuming diets containing 85% or more concentrate and 0.5% for cattle consuming at least 40% forage (all on a DM basis), and fat content should not be over 5 to 6% of the diet on a dry basis. These restrictions limit the amount of certain byproducts that can be fed to cattle, especially distiller’s grains. Nutrient composition of distiller’s grains varies, depending upon the procedures at a particular ethanol plant, so it is important to utilize recent feed analyses when determining how much distiller’s can be included in a ration. It’s also important to consider the sulfate content of the water source when you are determining the amount of byproduct feeds that can safely be fed. The variability of some byproduct feeds can cause unacceptable performance if that variability is not managed and the cattle’s performance is not monitored. Researchers at the Carrington Research Extension Center (North Dakota) noted that cows fed sunflower screenings lost a significant amount of weight and body condition, resulting in a decreased conception rate. This was attributed to changing nutrient composition of the screenings over time, an issue that can make balancing a diet difficult. Hereford.org

Changing from a forage-based diet to one containing a greater proportion of grains or byproduct feeds also may change mineral supplementation needs. Many of these feeds contain relatively high levels of phosphorus and lower levels of calcium compared to typical forages. Because of those differences, supplemental phosphorus needs can be reduced or even eliminated; however, supplemental calcium may need to be added. As long as dietary requirements have been met, the calcium:phosphorus ratio can range from 1.5:1 to 7:1 without causing metabolic disorders.

The amount of space provided and the design of the hay feeders also may play a role in the amount of hay that is wasted and, therefore, the amount of hay that must be provided each day. Research at Michigan State observed that cows fed with cone-type hay feeders wasted the least amount of hay (3.5%) compared to 6.1, 11.4 and 14.6% for ring, trailer and cradle feeders, respectively. Regardless of feeder design, there should be enough room available so that all cows can access the hay at the same time.

Limiting access to hay

Management factors

Limiting the amount of time cows have access to hay is another method of reducing forage usage. Ron Lemenager at Purdue conducted experiments over a three-year period to study how much hay was consumed when cows were given only a limited amount of time to eat. Forage intake was reduced by as much as 75%, 60%, and 33%, respectively, when cattle were restricted to one, two or three hours access to hay compared to cows having free access to hay. Soybean hull pellets were used to meet the balance of the cows’ nutrient requirements. In order to successfully implement this strategy, the amount of forage consumed must be accurately estimated so that the diet can be supplemented correctly to maintain acceptable cow performance. To determine the relationship between hay quality and hay intake under free-choice and restricted conditions, researchers at Purdue compared the amount of hay consumed when cows were allowed one, two, four or 24 hours per day access to low, medium or high quality grass hay during late gestation. As shown in Table 2, forage intake increased as hay quality improved regardless of the access time allowed. Restricting access decreased the amount of hay consumed. The reductions in hay intake due to access restrictions were similar for the low, medium, and high quality roughages. Using these results, the researchers at Purdue developed the following equations to estimate ad lib and time restricted hay intake. Ad lib dry matter intake of forage per head per day for cattle can be estimated from the calculation: • 120 divided by NDF % (neutral detergent fiber; DM basis) = hay dry matter intake (expressed as % cow body weight).

Limit-feeding cows does represent a significant departure from more conventional management practices. There are some management factors that should be considered to successfully implement these strategies. These include: 1) All feedstuffs should be tested for nutrient composition and nitrate levels, if appropriate. That information can then be used to formulate diets that meet the animals’ requirements at the best cost. 2) Gradually step up the animals onto the energy dense feeds. One approach is to start cattle at 4 lb. per head per day and then add 1 lb. every other day until the desired amount of energy dense feed is reached. As the amount of energy dense feed increases, the forage portion of the diet should be gradually reduced. 3) When diets containing a higher proportion of grain are fed to cows, proper bunk management to avoid digestive upsets is extremely important, especially when high-starch feedstuffs like grains are fed. Minimizing the day-to-day variation in grain intake will help reduce the incidence of acidosis and bloat. Monensin is labeled for use in mature beef cows and has been shown to help reduce the incidence of bloat and acidosis along with increasing feed efficiency.

The following equation estimates forage intake based on NDF content and length of hay access time. • 0.3 × hours of access/day – (0.02 × (hay DM NDF % × 100)) + 1.34 = hay dry matter intake (expressed as % cow body weight) where the NDF % is expressed as a decimal. Example: 4 hours of hay access, 53% NDF on DM basis, 1,300 lb. cow • 0.3 × 4 hours – [0.02 × (0.53 × 100)] + 1.34 = DM intake of hay (% of bodyweight) • 1.2 – (0.02 × 53) + 1.34 = 1.2 – 1.06 + 1.34 = 1.48% of body weight as dry matter hay intake when limited to 4 hours Estimated ad lib intake of this hay: 120 ÷ (0.53 × 100) = 2.26% of bodyweight • 1,300 lbs. cow × 1.48% = 19.2 lbs. of DM hay per day when limited to 4 hours • 1,300 lbs. cow × 2.26% = 29.4 lbs. of DM hay per day ad lib intake In this example, the amount of hay consumed per day would be reduced by 10.2 lb. per day on a dry basis (34% reduction). Assuming that the feeding period was 120 days long and that the hay was 88% dry matter, this system would result in a feed savings of 1,390 lb. per cow.

Table 1: Alternative hay strategies on cow performance

4) Implementing a limit-feeding strategy will be easier if a mixer wagon and a scale are available. It’s important to allow for sufficient mixing time so that all ingredients are distributed evenly throughout the load. If mixing equipment is not available, offering a fixed amount of a supplement combined with limiting the amount of time cows have access to hay can be effective. 5) Mineral and vitamin mixes may be over consumed if offered freechoice when animals are limit-fed. These could be included in the mixed ration, or consumption could be controlled using white salt. 6) Adequate bunk space (30 inches per head) should be provided to allow all cattle an equal opportunity to consume the ration. 7) Pens should provide at least 500 square feet per head. It may be worth considering sacrificial pasture areas as a way to provide additional room and to mitigate the effects of muddy conditions during wet and inclement weather. 8) While the nutrient requirements of the cattle can be met using limit-feeding strategies, their appetites will not be satisfied. Fences will need to be strong enough to withstand mature cows pushing against and reaching through in an attempt to graze plant material that may be within their reach. 9) As with any feeding system, monitor body condition to determine if nutritional demands are being met. Adjust diets if needed to avoid under- or over-conditioning. Limiting forage intake can be a successful strategy to reduce feed expenses under certain conditions, or as a strategy to avoid herd liquidation. The success or failure of a limit-feeding system will depend on the resources available and their cost and the ability to provide the level of management required to implement this strategy. HW

Nutrition, Condition and Calving Evaluate your nutrition program by looking at calving records. by Rick Rasby, University of Nebraska beef specialist, beef.unl.edu

ake time now to evaluate your nutrition program for spring-calving cows. A way to do that is to evaluate the reproductive performance of the cow herd because reproduction is so closely linked to body condition of the cows, and body condition is linked to the nutrition program. The greatest loss of potential calves to wean is due to cows not getting pregnant during the breeding season. Cows that don’t get pregnant during the breeding season, for spring-calving herds, are usually a result of cows being in poor body condition at calving as a result of the nutrient management program. There can be some losses due to abortion, but these losses are few, especially if you have worked with your veterinarian on a herd health and biosecurity program. Once baby calves are on the ground and have nursed their dams in a timely manner so that they get colostrum, calf losses between calving and weaning should be minimal. Calf losses at calving can be high in the Plains states for spring-calving herds due to weather, extremely cold conditions and snowstorms accompanied by high wind and not enough protection. If the percentage of calves weaned per female exposed is in the 80s, in most situations, the problem is nutrition related, and it should raise a red flag. Calves and pregnant cows are worth a lot of money. Feed efficiency in the cow/calf enterprise may be best described in reproductive efficiency (pregnancy percentage), or the number of cows that have a 365-day calving interval, or the percentage of cows calving the first 21 days of the calving season. Efficiency needs to include not only output, which would be weaning weight, but also inputs, which would be cow costs.

Analyzing reproductive performance Some specialists might raise the red flag if percent weaned of exposed is in the low 90s. There are producers that are profitable when percent of calves weaned of cows exposed is less than 90%. If weaned of exposed is below 90% and your cost of production allows you to have a profitable cow/calf enterprise, then the red flag is not warranted. The key is to have a good handle on cow costs. There are Standardized Performance Analysis (SPA) guidelines that outline how to calculate production measures for the cow herd. These guidelines bring standardization to performance calculations so that when comparisons are made annually, they are made using the same calculations. The SPA performance guidelines also guide a producer through how to handle pregnant cows that are purchased or sold and other situations that may arise in regard to pregnant and non-pregnant females. SPA guidelines can be found on the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association website, beefusa.org. There is an abbreviated way to dissect your cow herd by stage of production. Percentage calves weaned of females is the number of calves weaned based on the females that were exposed to the bulls to produce the calves that are being weaned. Mathematically it is the number of calves weaned (numerator) divided by the number of females exposed to produce that calf crop (denominator) and this number times 100 to get it to a percentage [(# calves weaned/# cows exposed) × 100]. The challenge sometimes is that the numbers needed to do the calculation are collected over a year apart. For females that wean a calf in October of 2015, the number of females exposed would be the number of females exposed to a bull during the breeding season in 2014.

/ October 2015

This process can also be used to dissect percent weaned of exposed into a different phase of the production cycle to get at pregnancy percent, calving percent and weaning percent. We define percent pregnant as the number of pregnant females divided by the number of females exposed to the bulls, calving percent as the number of females that calve divided by the number of pregnant females and weaning percentage as the number of calves weaned divided by the number of live calves born and nursed their dams. Percent pregnant would give an indicator of the number of non-pregnant females. Calving percent would give an indicator of abortions and calves lost at calving due to dystocia. And, weaning percent would give an indicator of calf losses from calving to weaning. As an example, in a 300-head cow herd, 255 cows weaned a calf. Records indicate 37 cows had no calving records, six calves were lost at calving and two calves were lost between calving and weaning. The 37 head were assumed to be non-pregnant because there was no record that they aborted. Pregnancy percentage is 87.7%: [(300 – 37)/300) × 100) = (263/300) × 100)] Calving percentage is 97.7%: [(263 – 6)/263) × 100) = (257/263) × 100] and Weaning percentage is 99.2%: [(257 – 2)/257) × 100) = (255/263) × 100]. If you multiply pregnancy percent × calving percent × weaning percent, it should be close to 85% (.877 × .977 × .992 = .8499). You can further dissect cow reproductive performance by age group using the process described above. If a lot of young spring-calving females are not pregnant with their second calf, it is likely due to the lack of energy in their diets after calving.

Calving distribution Calving distribution, the number of cows calving in 21-day periods during the calving season, is affected by the nutrition program and, therefore, body condition at calving, especially for spring-calving cows. Cows that cycle early in the breeding season conceive early in the breeding season and calve early in the calving season. Twenty-one-day calving intervals can be easily calculated if you know when to start the first 21-day interval. SPA guidelines indicate there are two ways to determine when to start the first 21-day calving interval: start when the third mature cow (3 years old or older) has calved or start the first 21-day calving period 285 days after the start of the breeding season. Rick Funston, beef reproductive physiologist, West Central Research & Extension Center, University of Nebraska, summarized data from steer calves that were born either the first, second or third 21-days of the calving season. Carcass weight and percentage of carcasses grading Choice was greater for steers born during the first or second 21-day calving periods. In addition, the percentage of the carcasses grading Average Choice or greater nearly doubles for calves born the first 21 days of the calving season compared to the seconf or third 21-day periods. When heifer performance was compared by when the heifers were born during the calving season, more heifers born the first 21 days of the calving period were cycling before the start of the breeding season, pregnancy rate was higher and more of those heifers calved the first 21 days of the calving season. Management strategies to calve 65% of the cows during the first 21-day period of the calving season compared to 40% of the herd calving the first 21 days of the calving season will add about 25l lb. to the average weaning weight.

n some climates, keeping stock water ice free can be a frustrating issue during colder months. In some pastures water availability is also an issue. Trey Patterson, PhD, chief operations officer of Padlock Ranches in Wyoming, says Padlock’s operation winters cows on dry land pastures, weather permitting. “We get our share of weather issues — whether cold or snow, or lack of snow,” he says. “Some of our cattle are on pastures that are poorly watered, or the water quality may be marginal.”

Reliable, quality water

Breaking the Ice Providing water to cattle in cold months may be challenging, but preparing may help reduce labor while meeting their most important nutrient need.

In those situations, the people at Padlock Ranches rely on snow, but not as the sole source of water. “I know some operations that have wintered solely on snow,” Patterson says. “We’ve done that as well, but it creates challenges. Many cows voluntarily go out and consume snow for a water source, but others are slow to learn. You may have some cows that never do adapt. In our experience, we found more variation in winter performance if you have to rely solely on snow.” Patterson says that though they use snow, they also provide a water source so cows have an option. “The quantity of available water at times might not be adequate if all the cows were relying 100% on water, but there’s water for the cows that need it,” he says. “Some cows will go out and consume snow for a period of time and then come back to drink water.”

Stocking decisions for certain pastures are based on available snow and available water. “If a pasture has adequate water for the number of cows we want to put there, lack of snow is not an issue,” he says. “If there’s not enough water and snow doesn’t come or it melts or dries up, we have to move the cows somewhere else or haul water to them.” Patterson plans ahead for situations that may arise, such as no snow or heavy snow that covers the feed. “When hauling water, we tap into a water source where we can fill a tank truck in a reasonable period of time,” he says. “This is often from a pipeline from a well, and in our location we also have coal-bed methane water that we can tap into. The ranch has a water truck and we haul water to a set of stock tanks.” Hauling water can be cost effective, even with the labor and expense involved, if it means the cows can stay out on winter grazing and not be fed hay. “Each operation would have to calculate this to see if it would be better to haul water than feed hay,” he says. “If you have an open winter and a lot of available feed it might be cheaper to haul water than pull those cows in for full feed. You also have to evaluate how much time, labor and equipment you have available. If you have large numbers of cattle it may not be feasible to haul enough water for them.” One consideration with using snow is to make sure cattle do not have excessive salt intake. “A lot of supplements use salt as a limiter,

Nose pump Jim Anderson, a rancher near Rimbey, Alberta, solved the problem of stock water for regions with no electricity, or temperatures down to 40 degrees below zero. His innovation, which he has been marketing for about 15 years, is a piston pump. It’s like the old-fashioned well in which a person works the handle up and down. “We modified this so cattle could use their nose to push a lever, which raises and lowers the piston in the cylinder, the same as a handle used to do,” Anderson says.

The three-inch cylinder is inside a larger pipe or vertical culvert that captures geothermal heat from the ground. The typical installation is a road culvert of at least 24-inch diameter, set in the ground at least 20 feet. The bigger the culvert, the more ground heat rises, to keep the water pipe in the center warm. The culvert has two feet sticking above ground. The waterer is a small, enclosed basin on top of the vertical culvert. The water source can be a shallow well, nearby pond or lake, or buried collection tank. Many ranchers use a fenced-off pond or dugout to collect run-off from surrounding hills. “Water from the pond is piped horizontally underground to the bottom of the vertical culvert, where it rises to the same level as the pond surface, but will not freeze,” Anderson says. With the pond, lake or stream fenced off, cattle can’t pollute it or fall through ice in winter when trying to drink. The ungrazed vegetation around it acts as a filter for run-off water coming into a pond and cattle always have fresh, clean water. The upright pipe is designed to drain back down several feet after a cow quits pumping, so there’s never any

water left standing in the top of the pipe to freeze. Ranch manager at the Western Beef Development Centre’s Research Ranch at Lanigan, Saskatchewan, George Widdifield, says its operation utilizes several frost-free nose pumps. “These work fine but you have to train the cows to use it,” Widdifield says. “We did it the recommended way, starting with just a few cows at a time, and they teach the others. There are different levels in the drain holes in the line, and when we are first training the cows we put it at the highest level, during warm weather with no danger of water freezing in the pipe, so it’s very easy for them to pump it. After they learn, we lower the drain hole.” After the cattle know how to use the pump, they push it as hard as necessary to get water. “We’ve found that even in the summertime when there is other water available there are still some cows that prefer to go pump that thing and have cool, clean water,” Widdifield says. “With any of these systems you still have to check them regularly and make sure they are working and free of ice. With our solar-powered systems you have to make sure the batteries stay good or the valve switch in the tank doesn’t get knocked off kilter, or the nose pump doesn’t build up ice on the push lever. You still have to knock the ice off them on the really cold days.” HW

and this increases the cows’ water requirement,” Patterson explains. “I try to make sure cattle have adequate salt but not excessive salt. If they’re salt-deficient they won’t drink enough water or eat enough snow, and then they won’t eat enough. There’s a tight correlation between water intake and feed intake. You don’t want to artificially inflate water intake, but you do want to have enough water or snow to maximize feed intake. Cattle on winter range are on a low quality diet, and you want them eating as much as possible.” If cattle are fed hay, it is imperative they are provided enough fresh water for their needs. “We’re currently developing replacement heifers on native range in winter. It’s easier to merge them into a combined system (snow and water) than if you take heifers that have been in the feedlot and kick them out on winter pasture and expect them to eat snow. Before they learn how, they may lose a lot of condition,” Patterson says. “Usually in winter we are dealing with dry cows, and their water requirements are low, compared with pairs. And a dry cow in winter has lower water intake than a dry cow in summer,” he says. “One thing some people don’t realize is that when it gets really cold this doesn’t mean their water requirement diminishes. The cows are eating more to try to generate more body heat. Because of the correlation between water intake and feed intake you want to make sure they have adequate water.”

Ice and labor challenges Having multiple groups in various locations can become more labor intensive, according to Patterson, if ice needs to be chopped. “We don’t have enough labor to do that on every water source, so one of the systems we’ve developed for a couple pastures is a well that runs into a linear water line. Along that line there are several concrete stock tanks, buried in the ground,” Patterson says. These tanks take advantage of ground heat, to keep water warmer so it won’t freeze. A portion of each tank is opened up and the rest is partially buried — mounded over the top. “There’s a lid, so we can get down in there and work on the float if necessary. Even if we get some ice on the front part, the water underneath is warmer and we don’t have a foot of ice to chop through. These tanks face south, to catch more sun, and we paint the concrete wall in front black,” he says. For stock tanks above ground, they use propane heaters and supply propane bottles or big propane tanks to operate the heaters. Hereford.org

Another method to keep water from freezing is an overflow system, where water runs continually into the tank and out again. “We have some systems set up that way, but you have to make sure there’s an adequate supply of water that won’t pump a well dry,” Patterson explains. “You might have a tank with an overflow that runs into another tank that has an overflow that runs to the creek, for instance. You don’t want to create an ice flow somewhere, but could have a line running back to the creek you pull the water from.” If weather is below zero, a thin layer of ice may form, but the circulating water keeps it from getting so thick it’s a chore to break. This source would need to be checked only if the temperature dropped below a certain threshold. “This is usually not an option with coal-bed methane water, because they don’t want that water spilled out,” he explains. “When they drill wells to extract methane from coal seams, there’s usually water in those seams, and that water comes above ground. There can be water quality issues, but in most of the places we’ve tested, the metal levels are not at toxic levels. In our situation the coal-bed methane water is actually better than water coming from some of our other wells which are high in sulfate.” Some wells utilize electricity for pumping, some are run off a generator and some use propane or a gas motor. “We’ve also used windmills, but in our area that can be dangerous if we get two or three days in a row without wind. You can also run a pump

Solar powered pump Ranch manager at the Western Beef Development Centre’s Research Ranch in Saskatchewan, George Widdifield, says he utilizes a solar-powered water system that works off a motion detector. “When the cattle walk up to it, the pump starts running and they can drink from it. It runs for a short length of time and shuts off after they move away. This system runs the pump off a wet well that we put in from a dugout. The pump is down in that shallow well and doesn’t have to pump the water very far,” Widdifield says. This system has a three-foot cribbing that goes down into the wet well, with a tub at the top that the water pumps into. “Once the pump shuts off, after the cow leaves, the water in that little tub all drains back down into the wet well, so there is none left in the tub to freeze. We’ve never had any ice build up in it, however, because it’s a black tub that holds heat from the sun,” he says. The ranch also uses another system that runs a pump from a regular ground well with solar power. “We run that water in an underground pipe about a quarter of a mile to a winterized trough that works off a float system. We recently put a new trough on it that works a little better than the old one. This trough has six different drinking holes in it and you can cover or open as many as needed, depending on how many cows are watering from it. We’ve had very little trouble with this system,” he says. “Running from a well, the water line to the trough has to be down about eight feet so it won’t freeze. The trough itself is well insulated with about six inches of insulation. As long as there is fresh water coming into it all the time, it doesn’t freeze. The drinking holes go down through the insulated cover.” The cattle drink throughout the day, lowering the water level to activate the float valve and bring more water into the trough, thus keeping it from freezing even during cold weather. Occasionally those holes freeze over at night when the cattle aren’t drinking much. “If it’s 40 below zero and the wind is blowing, we may have to go out in the morning and knock the ice out of the drinking tubes, but as long as there is fresh water coming into it regularly the trough won’t freeze up,” he says. “When the cattle drink it down to a certain level the float activates the switch and water flows in. Once it gets full the switch kicks out and the water stops coming in.” HW

off a gas motor or convert a gas motor to propane. You can get a lot more days off a big bottle of propane than you can a gallon gas tank. We’ve rigged some of our gas motors with a larger tank above them. Most of these small engines have a gallon capacity, but we can put a five gallon tank on them, allowing a full 24 hours of pumping,” Patterson says.

Some use solar power as it’s becoming more affordable. “We looked into this, and I think it can work well, but the challenge is weather — if you get several overcast days. Just as with windmills, or relying on snow, you need an alternative plan for the times it won’t work,” he says. HW

October 2015 /

Ranchers, Farmers, Constitutional Conservatives in America

WAKE UP! OUR NATION is declining Morally, Spiritually, and Financially. Some of OUR ELECTED LEADERS lie, obfuscate truth and disregard our bedrock Constitution.

ANTI-CHRISTIAN sentiment and persecution increases at home and around the world, while Islamic influenced at ocities skyrocket. Muhammad’s original historic Islam was and is designed to take over all religions (and atheists) and the entire world. Can anyone find one atrocity that ISIS has done that Muhammad did not do himself or command to be done? In the Koran, Allah is lauded as the “great deceiver.” To be like Allah, you deceive. The Koran also says that if you are a Muslim dealing with non-Muslims, it is permissible to lie, deceive and sign contracts or treaties you have no intention of keeping, as long as you do it to advance the cause of Allah. (Think Israeli “land for peace” treaties and Iranian “deal.”) Iranian leaders, the world’s foremost sponsors of terror, have said they want to eliminate Israel and they shout “Death to America.” Our President responds by saying we will eliminate all sanctions against them, give them 150 billion dollars, put them on “Scouts’ honor” that they won’t cheat for 10 years and then will be allowed to build as many nuclear weapons as they desire. Our President listens to Muslim Brotherhood advisors in the White House, not American generals or the American people. What insanity we have allowed. OUR NATION’S FINANCIAL DEBT increases yearly. Our military declines and the money we “save” feeds our expanding entitlement society. Does bankruptcy happen? Yes, unless we cease overspending. Unspeakable? Will our grandchildren live in a free country, or be forced to follow Islam?

IF WE SNOOZE WE LOSE Instead of just talking and grumbling, let us act. Let us pray for good and against evil. Americans have been too silent, too complacent and our lethargy has added to our decline. Our nation is in peril. No longer can we wait for other people to do it. “Let’s roll.” All of us. Let us each engage our congress people with resolve, our local newspapers with insightful letters, the electoral process with generous wallets and our God with fervent prayers. “If My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, I will forgive their sin, and I will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

In Passing John F. Erwin, 66, of New Milton, W.Va., passed away August 22. John was retired after more than 33 years of service for the Equitable Gas Company, where he worked as a well tender, group leader and welder. He attended Mountain State College before being drafted into the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He was an avid outdoorsman and greatly enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was a member of the St. Johannes Lutheran Church of St. Clara, W.Va., the West Union Friendship Lodge #56 AF&AM and the VFW. John’s passion in life was farming. He was a 50-year member of the West Virgina Farm Bureau and also the West Virginia Cattlemen’s Association, the West Virginia Polled Hereford Association and the Ritchie County Polled Hereford Association. He was instrumental in starting the livestock program for Doddridge County and was a mentor for children for showing cattle.

He is survived by his wife, Sandra; daughter, Susan; son, JR; mother-inlaw, Naomi Beall; and many extended family members.

In the News U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef sets course toward improvement More than 120 beef producers, retailers, foodservice operators, processors, academics, allied industry partners and non-governmental organizations gathered in Denver on July 14 and 15 for the first U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (USRSB) general assembly meeting. Their common goal: continuously improving beef sustainability. “Continuously improving beef sustainability requires the cooperation and collaboration of every segment of the beef value chain, from the rancher to the consumer,” said USRSB board chair Nicole Johnson-Hoffman of Cargill. “The General Assembly meeting was really the first opportunity we’ve had to gather the membership of the USRSB in one location to set a course toward establishing criteria and actions to achieve mutually agreed upon goals.” The primary outcome of the two-day event was to align members to five objectives of the USRSB: 1) the establishment of sustainability indicators; 2) the development of a method to verify those indicators;

/ October 2015

3) the creation of a program philosophy for implementing sustainability objectives; 4) the generation of field projects that prove sustainability concepts; and 5) the establishment of goals for progress. “Cattle producers are committed to raising a sustainable, safe and nutritious product for consumers around the world,” said USRSB Chair-Elect John Butler, a Kansas cattle producer. “The USRSB allows everyone in the beef value chain to work together to positively shape the industry for future generations.” Throughout the two-day event, attendees reviewed sustainability efforts in the crop, dairy and potato industries, as well as the results of beef sustainability pilot projects in Florida and Canada. Three USRSB working groups — Indicators and Goals for Progress, Verification and Field Projects — met to discuss their objectives, scope of work and next steps. Iowa Hereford steer shown in governor’s charity steer show A registered Hereford steer raised by Jarrett Orman of Bouton, Iowa, was one of 25 entries in the annual Governor’s Charity Steer Show at the Iowa State Fair. Sponsored by the Iowa Hereford Breeders Association, “Elvis” had U.S. Senator Joni Ernst at the halter as the celebrity showperson. Senator Ernst was selected by judge Brad Hook to win the showmanship award. All the steers in the show sold at auction later that afternoon, raising a total of $224,584 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Iowa. Elvis brought $6,000 from a group of supporters. Prior to the charity event, the 1,265lb. steer had a successful show career with Orman. He was reserve champion steer at the Iowa Junior Hereford Show, a class winner at the Junior National Hereford Expo and champion Hereford steer at the Dallas County Fair. HW
