Hereford: The First Breed To Develop, Market Its Own Genetic Predictions The September Hereford World each year is dedicated to the successes of Hereford youth. I got the opportunity to spend the whole week in Grand Island, Neb., at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), and, again, I was reminded of the quality of the kids, the dedication of the parents, the hard work of the Nebraska Hereford Association and the great American Hereford Association (AHA) staff. It does seem a little like a marathon for the week, but to see the eyes of the juniors competing in various contests, showing cattle and just walking around and enjoying companionship with other juniors that they just met makes it all worthwhile. I tip my hat to all involved — it was another great event. We recently finished another Hereford Research Foundation (HRF) auction, and I want to thank all of the buyers and consignors. This event will continue to help fund various research projects that will help with breed improvement and continue to create demand for Hereford genetics.
DNA lab update It has been a very exciting time for the AHA Board and staff as we have transitioned from Maxxam Analytics to GeneSeek as the official AHA DNA lab. The basic reason for this move was to change technology platforms from microsatellites to SNPs. This conversion keeps the

very basics of parentage and genetic abnormality testing available, allows us to incorporate genomic information into the genetic analysis and also allows breeders to have access to a horned/polled test. During the recent release of new expected progeny differences (EPDs) came the simultaneous release of GE-EPD (genomic-enhanced EPDs). Gathering the GE-EPDs has been a long process, but the information has so much potential for breeders to more quickly find high accuracy animals that will allow for quicker genetic improvement. First off, Dorian Garrick and Mahdi Saatchi need to be thanked and congratulated for all of their help and support with this endeavor. The AHA approach is the first of its kind to work with the scientific community and the NBCEC (National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium) to build its own training and validation population. This approach is so important because the AHA now has access to all of the genotypes, phenotypes and pedigrees, which will allow us to continue to train and build a Hereford-specific panel. Over the past few weeks, there has been a lot of information released concerning the costs, tests available and procedures for ordering the kits and finding the animals that have tests completed. All of these things can be found on Hereford.org,
and there is a search engine on the EPD inquiry section of the website that allows you to find animals that have GE-EPDs. When an animal has been tested, you will find a GE-EPD logo below its EPD profile on its details screen. Some other questions that breeders have been asking: Q Will this replace the need to collect phenotypes? A Absolutely not, a 50k test will only enhance the animal’s current genetic profile and will be used to help support other information. Remember, today all genomic panels seem to work well within the population that they have been trained in. So, if we want this to continue to get better, the training population will need to grow and will need to be specific. One side note to this would be for animals that come from a single contemporary group or maybe even embryo transfer (ET) animals, whose weight phenotypes are not used in the anaylsis. The GE-EPD becomes very useful on these animals early in their lives. Q How is the information getting utilized in the genetic analysis? A Today, we are using an interim model that uses the 50k test and the information will only affect the animal that continued on page 7... Hereford.org

has been tested. So, when you test an animal, an MBV (molecular breeding value) will be calculated and then will be added to the animal’s EPD. This addition will change its EPD number and accuracy. With support from the science community, we are using the MBV in the EPD calculation and not reporting two different pieces of information in order not to confuse or overburden breeders and customers with an overload of information. Q How good is the test, will it benefit me, and what animals should I test? A It is difficult to answer this question, because we are affecting all traits measured, but at a different level. It depends a bit on your goals, and it will be important not only to test young animals with low accuracy EPDs but also to continue to test higher accuracy sires in order to increase our correlations and make the test more reliable.

These tables should clearly show how genomic information can truly help with genetic improvement and generational turns. It is an exciting time in the beef industry and specifically for Hereford breeders. There has been a lot of commitment and resources put toward this project by the AHA Board and staff. Now, it is in the hands of the breeders, and we can build this Hereford panel to be the best in the industry, but it will take commitment by the membership. We need to test not only young bulls and females but also high accuracy sires. Let’s set a goal to get another 1,000 sires tested before the next genetic analysis. Can you imagine, if this happens, how important it will be to next spring’s production sales. HW

What a Summer It’s state fair time, which only means one thing, my favorite time of year has come and gone. Hereford junior activities have come to a close, only to be followed by text messages/phone calls from new friends reminiscing about the memories made and a certain buzz of excitement building for next summer’s events! For those of you who were unable to join us for the 2012 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), “Livin’ The Hereford Life,” you missed out on another successful and competitive show. I think that our owned show judge Eldon Krebs summed up the event during the selection of the grand female when he said, “I have never seen so many good heifers all under one roof.” Not only were the livestock exceptional but also a great week was had for all the juniors who participated in contests throughout the week. It is truly a week that is long awaited each year by many juniors across the country, and it would not be possible without the help of our generous sponsors. This summer was also a Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention year. “Lighting the
Way to Leadership” was hosted in East Lansing, Mich., at Michigan State University (MSU). A total of 60 juniors from across the country toured the MSU campus, visited the MSU Purebred Beef Unit, listened to motivational speakers, completed workshops and rounded out the week with an afternoon on Lake Michigan and farm tours at Grand Meadows Farm and Ridgeview Farms. We thank the MSU staff for being such great hosts, as well as the Bielema and Goble families for welcoming our group to your farms. Finally, the 2012-13 board of directors kicked off the new year right with a retreat to Lake Michigan, where we were fortunate enough to spend a few days at a lakehome owned by Tim and Nancy Keilty’s family. It was a great way to develop relationships and build our National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board team. We also conducted a JNHE wrap-up meeting and are already working on ideas for next year. We had the opportunity to tour Cottonwood Springs Farm on our way back to East Lansing to prepare for PRIDE Convention. As another Hereford summer comes to an end and NJHA

by Susan Hayhurst, NHW director
JNHE: A Resounding Success In the eyes of the National Hereford Women (NHW) board of directors, the 2012 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) was a resounding success. From the stellar efforts by the juniors and their cattle and the hard work put forth by American Hereford Association staff to the gracious hospitality of Hereford friends and the Nebraska State Fairgrounds in Grand Island it was a wonderful week. The frosting on the cake for NHW was the tremendous support we received from Hereford women who believe in what we do and support our programs through their membership. Here’s a quick rundown of NHW’s recent successes. The Queen orientation and tea was led by NHW board members Denise Billman and Jill Bielema and by 2011-12 National Hereford Queen Amanda Bacon and her family. We also appreciate the assistance of former national queen Bethany Nolan and her mother, Alise. Twelve state queens and their parents attended the event, participated in ice-breakers and reviewed protocol, procedures and guidelines involved

with the queen program. Another big hit was the second annual “little queen” program held during the orientation and tea. Lots of little girls dressed up for the event and brought their mothers or grandmothers. The girls could meet and talk with the queen candidates, decorate their very own crowns, and receive a goodie bag. Queen Amanda also initiated a community service project, “Lending a Helping Hoof,” and coordinated three “queen” baskets for the states’ silent auction tables. The queen program received $300 in donations. The Ways and Means booth, orchestrated by Denise Billman and Paula Acheson, was staffed by NHW board members (and some helpful husbands) encouraging JNHE families to shop for great take-home items including Hereford mouse pads, notecards, prints, t-shirts and wall calendars. The result was nearly $3,000 in income to support NHW’s programs for juniors. A membership push was made with wonderful results: one lifetime and 252 annual memberships were received. Sonja Vandergriff, Colorado, was the lucky new member who won the drawing of a “Secrets” print. Lifetime memberships are $400 and annual memberships $20. More than 400 women are now NHW members. More than 100 juniors applied for NHW-sponsored scholarships and awards and participated in contests. NHW presented a total of nearly $3,800 in awards during the awards banquet. The scholarship program was led by President Mary Ann Berg, NHW representative to JNHE’s organizational committee Susan Gebhart, and committee members Jeanine Radel, Lori Hambright, Ann Guess, Lauren Echols, and Denise Billman. Youth contests and awards were coordinated by committee members Shannon Mehaffey, Diann Strickland, Susan Hayhurst, Ann Guess, Barb Ernst, Jill Bielema,
Shellie Collins, Paula Acheson and Jeanine Radel. NHW is so grateful for the many judges who stepped up to review scholarship and award applications and interview the many youth who participated in the events. We are also grateful for the perseverance and commitment the juniors made in applying for the awards. A big thank you goes to Dale and Mary Barber of Barber Ranch, Channing, Texas, for generously donating a $1,500 voucher for the NHW Heifer Award. Winning the voucher was Addison Jackson, Miller, Mo.
Membership While we’ve gained a significant number of new or renewed members, NHW wants you to know each and every Hereford woman is important to our membership and in furthering our mission of providing valuable encouragement and programs to our youth. Your membership dollars are strictly used for activities and purposes for Hereford youth. Paula Acheson, membership chair, would be happy to answer any questions you might have about membership or how you can get involved in a small or big way. The $20 NHW membership dues can be sent to her at 3 North Chicago, Box 86, Woodbine, KS 67492, or you may contact her at 785-257-3541.
New or rejuvenated state programs Some states have recently shown interest in reactivating a closed Hereford women’s organization or in initiating a new state women’s program. We are thrilled at the interest, and the NHW board is creating a helpful packet of information to help you launch your state’s program. If you are interested in starting a state group or have questions, please contact Mary Ann Berg at 330-857-7967. HW Hereford.org

Sysco achieves CHB® 2-million-pound mark Sysco Minnesota was recently presented with its second Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) million-pound achievement by CHB LLC. June Dunn, Sysco Minnesota center of the plate specialist, business resources, says Sysco has been pleased with CHB’s success in its business plan. “Sysco Minnesota has seen double-digit growth in the beef category since bringing on Certified Hereford Beef,” Dunn says. “We have never had a program have this much immediate impact on our sales. Overall, this has been a dream come true for a salesperson, and I would like to personally thank Certified Hereford Beef for giving Sysco Minnesota the opportunity to sell this wonderful product.” Dunn says customers are drawn to the CHB product for its local ties, as well as its flavor and consistency. “I think the fact that there are many Hereford ranches in this area is a huge advantage for us, as the customers can relate to them,” she says. “And the customers’ response has been amazing! Once they tried it and saw for themselves how tender, juicy and consistent it is, they were sold.”
And, Dunn says, the CHB name helps set the product apart. “I think the greatest advantage of Certified Hereford Beef is the uniqueness of this line,” she says. “I think everyone has realized the word ‘Angus’ really doesn’t mean much anymore, now that McDonald’s, Burger King and everyone else is using it.” Sysco has sales and service relationships with approximately 400,000 customers in the foodservice industry and operates from more than 180 locations throughout the U.S., Canada and Ireland. Sysco offers CHB through its Baraboo, Wis.; Minneapolis; Nashville, Tenn.; Boston; and Ocoee, Fla., centers.

These biennial events focus on charities in the local area. CHB ribeye steak sandwich sales at the Albuquerque store raised more than $1,100 for the local high school band. And during the Socorro event, the sale of more than 200 sandwiches gathered nearly $1,500 for a local 4-H club. Richard Salazar, John Brooks district meat manager, says their customer response has been excellent. “The product is awesome,” Salazar says. “It’s unique, and the customers love it. Every time, the flavor is the same — and it’s good. We won’t go any other way.” John Brooks Supermarkets have served New Mexico since 1978 and currently operate seven stores across the state. HW

Conference #16
Celebrating the New Hereford Highlights of the 16th World Hereford Conference in Canada.
H
ereford enthusiasts from around the world were in Canada July 8-24 to participate in the 16th World Hereford Conference. Hosting the event was the Canadian Hereford Association. More than 300 producers registered for the entire conference and approximately 100 U.S. producers participated in the event. On Friday, July 13, the meetings in Calgary began with member countries giving update reports. During the meeting, Jose “Pepe� Bonica, current Uruguayan Rural Society president, was selected as the new Word Hereford Council secretary-general. Saturday was a full day of speakers, with approximately 445 attendees. On Monday the events moved to Olds, Alberta, for the shows, starting with the Junior Bonanza, where young cattle breeders from across Canada, as well as 42 juniors from around the world, participated. There were more than 700 people in the audience. On Tuesday was the World Hereford Conference National Hereford Show with more than 320 head competing. It was judged by Dave Durie Jr. and watched by nearly 1,200. Wednesday was rancher day, which kicked off with an experienced panel of cattlemen and cattlewomen judging from horseback. The women judged the cow-calf pairs, and the men judged the pen-of-three bulls. Again the attendance was nearly 1,200 people.

My WHC Adventure by Heather Bradford
I
was the lucky winner of the OXO World Traveler Scholarship, sponsored by Linda Swiercinsky and family. With this amazing opportunity, I attended the pretour and the 16th World Hereford Conference (WHC) July 9-18. My incredible journey started in Vancouver, British Columbia, and ended in Calgary, Alberta. I also decided to do something a little outside my comfort zone and blog about my adventures across Canada. The best part wasn’t the cattle or the scenery but having the opportunity to meet so many unique people from around the world and even Ohio. I made friends from Denmark, England, New Zealand, Sweden and, especially, Australia. The Australians have almost convinced me to visit, although I have been warned that I might not want to come home once I get there.
breeders had cattle on display for the three tour buses. Just north of the U.S. border, this area has extremely fertile soil that is excellent for growing raspberries and blueberries. Quite possibly the highlight of the tour was Copper Creek Ranch, owned by Ron and Sharon Stevenson, in Princeton. The weather was amazing, and it was so quiet and peaceful in the valley between the mountains. They had cow-calf pairs on display, and my fellow attendees thoroughly enjoyed driving through the pasture in the golf carts. The cow-calf pair that would go on to win both the open and junior WHC shows was even on display there. After a short bus ride to begin day two, we stopped at the historic Quilchena Hotel, which is owned by Guy and Hilda Rose, in the Nicola Valley. This stop was complete with the more than 100-year-old hotel, general

store and golf course. The Rose family has taken full advantage of the tourism industry as an additional source of income to their 1,500 cows. This is a very arid region that receives only about a foot of rain annually. Then, we headed out for Douglas Lake Ranch with one of the cowboys on board the bus as our personal tour guide. The ranch is located beside an Indian reservation and lake of the same name. This is the largest ranch in Canada, boasting 7,000 females that are all Hereford or Herefordcross. Unfortunately, the cows were all up in the mountains on summer pasture; so, we didn’t actually get to continued on page 28...

see any of them. The Douglas family estimates that the ranch has access to over 750,000 acres of owned, leased and government land. Their ultimate mission is to convert grass into beef, which is accomplished by marketing stocker cattle.
Day three was the “Are we there yet?” day because it was a full-day bus ride from Kamloops to Banff. I’m not a fan of long car rides but survived just fine. We made a stop that morning at the location where the last spike was driven into the Canadian-Pacific
Railway. This railroad spans Canada from coast to coast, and the trains can be up to 2 miles long. Our main stop for the day was at Three Valley Gap. The location used to be a swamp but was filled in with the dirt from building the TransCanada Highway. Here, a ghost town commemorates Canada’s past. Its buildings were physically moved to this site. There was everything from classic cars to old-fashioned tools used in the era. The fourth day was a free day to spend in Banff, a popular tourist town. Banff National Park is situated on some 2,500 square miles in western Alberta. Banff Avenue is the place to go for all your shopping and souvenirs. I highly recommend sampling ice cream at Cows while you’re there; brownie explosion is pretty awesome. Also, chocolate addicts beware, there is an abundance of chocolate shops here too! My mom joined me in Banff, and we drove up to Lake Louise to take in the beautiful scenery. The Fairmont Chateau hotel sits at one end of this teal-colored glacial lake, and whitecapped mountains line the opposite end. We didn’t see any bears but did find a couple of rock climbers and many

canoes on the lake. This outing brought an end to the tour part of my trip.
The conference The conference itself began with the member countries giving reports about agriculture, the beef industry and the Hereford breed in each respective country. The officials were excited to announce Kazakhstan and Switzerland as new additions to the council this year. One interesting fact: Kazakhstan has 10,000 head of Herefords and plans to import another 72,000 by 2015. Many of the countries in attendance have already exported cattle there. Another thing I took away from these presentations is an appreciation that the Hereford World is published monthly and not annually like in some countries. I’m not sure I could handle that wait! The U.S. was the final country, and Craig Huffhines had the pleasure of announcing that this year’s junior national was the largest Hereford show in the world. Day six was the technical conference, which I’d been looking forward to, at the Calgary Stampede. “Come Celebrate the New Hereford” was the theme, and the conference was a celebration of the resurgence of the breed in many countries. The topics focused on the breed’s strengths like docility and feed efficiency. One presentation regarding the new genomic evaluation was particularly relevant to American Hereford Association (AHA) members. I would encourage Hereford breeders to submit DNA samples on their young animals. The greatest benefit comes from improving the accuracy of young animals’ expected progeny differences (EPDs). The Association needs your help by you sending in hair samples for genomic testing while still performance testing those animals and their progeny. Due to the foresight of the AHA leadership, the samples you send will help us make the genomic test more accurate, aid in the discovery of new economically relevant traits and improve the genetic evaluation of our breed so we can continue to move forward. Hereford.org
The final day of the conference was Rancher Day. Judges on horseback evaluated groups of bulls and cow-calf pairs.
That evening we watched the chuckwagon races, which were amazing. Each race is basically about one minute of complete chaos. Each team consists of two outriders and four horses pulling a wagon. The outriders start on foot and have to run to a certain point before jumping on their horses and chasing the wagon. All involved make a figure eight around their barrels and race off around the track. The horses were retired Thoroughbreds, and there were hundreds back in the barn. I would go to the Stampede again just to watch the chuckwagon races! Day seven was all about The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, the Calgary Stampede. This year also happened to be the 100th anniversary, where total attendance at the 10-day event exceeded a record breaking 1.4 million spectators. We watched the working horse competition, a performance by the mounted police, the rodeo finals and heavy horse pulls. The Stampede was very supportive of the WHC as was evident from the displays in the cattle barn.
The shows The final three days consisted of the cattle shows in Olds. First up was Bonanza, Canada’s version of our junior national. The open show was much
anticipated by the participants with about 320 head competing in polled and horned shows. Congratulations to the American exhibitors who had success in the shows. The final day was rancher day, a first time for the WHC, with about 1,200 people in attendance. Three judges on horseback evaluated cowcalf pairs and pens of three bulls. The event was very well received by the spectators, who appreciated seeing cattle in a real-world setting. The festivities concluded with the awarding of bronze statues to the open and pen show champions. The end was a little bittersweet as this conference marks the conclusion of my junior career. Thanks to all the people and organizations that have supported me and made this an incredible journey, starting with my first junior national in Lansing, Mich. This truly was the experience of a lifetime. I had an absolutely fantastic time meeting fellow Hereford enthusiasts from all around the globe. Thanks to everyone for their hospitality and the memories. For more pictures and details about my trip, check out my blog at www.thebradfords.com/blog.html. I encourage everyone to attend the 17th WHC in Uruguay in 2016. continued on page 30...

Sixty participants from 23 states and Canada participated in the 2012 PRIDE Convention. A highlight of the event was visiting MSU and the historic Purebred Beef Barn.
Lighting the Way to Leadership Highlights of the 2012 PRIDE Convention. by Jaime Hanson
E
very other year the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) hosts the Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention. The 2012 PRIDE Convention was hosted in East Lansing, Mich., home to Michigan State University (MSU), July 30-Aug. 2. There were 60 attendees from 23 states and two participants from Canada.
Monday evening was kicked off with some ice breakers, a keynote speech from MSU graduate Justin Ransom, who works in the U.S. Supply Chain Management for McDonald’s Corporation LLC, and a delicious steak dinner, followed by game night. Ransom left attendees with several take-away messages. He talked about how we need to adapt to change and that change is not a bad thing, but takes a lot of work to get there through the right path. (See “Ransom’s message,” Page 38.)

processing, tagging, tattooing and body condition scoring of cattle. Two workshops were about evaluating cattle, and attendees had the opportunity to judge a couple of classes while at the MSU Purebred Beef Cattle Unit. Then, while in the meat lab we got to evaluate steer carcasses from a recent junior show in Michigan.

Wednesday Wednesday was the last full day of PRIDE Convention. The morning started with motivational speaker Heather Schultz of Georgia. Schultz spoke at a previous PRIDE Convention, and we were excited to welcome her back. She was wonderful and got everyone involved while
touching our hearts and making us think about our attitudes and where we want our future paths to take us. She says she truly believes in today’s youth and encouraged attendees to believe in themselves. She pointed out that youth — who are 26% of the population but 100% of the future — have the power to change the world. She also shared some great quotes including, “You are either a contaminator or a contributor in this world so choose your attitude,” “There is a price attached to every decision; decide wisely,” and “Like, love and respect yourself first.” Schultz also led a couple of team-building workshops, and then the NJHA board led some workshops. As an NJHA director, I helped facilitate the workshop on “Mastering Your Agvocacy.” We discussed the Masters of Beef Advocacy (MBA)
program offered by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. Several attendees have obtained an MBA, but we encouraged the others to look into this six-part program about the facts of the beef industry and how to talk to consumers about industry issues. During the workshop, we gave attendees two scenarios to think about how they would react. We discussed how to use facts, tell your story/ experiences, share photos and use emotions when talking to individuals. It is also important to stay calm, cool and collected even if someone angers you or is upset and attacking you. As Matt Woolfolk said, “You can’t fight fire with fire.” Here are the two scenarios we discussed: 1) An animal rights activist approaches you at the Junior National Hereford Expo and asks, “How can you keep your animal tied up like that all
Ransom’s message At MSU attendees learned about carcass quality and practiced quality- and yield-grading a carcass.
Here are a few key points from speaker Justin Ransom:
“Hard work trumps talent.” “Out-work everyone else.” “Don’t worry about who gets the credit.” “Live with the end in mind.” “Find the one thing that drives YOU.” “The most risky decision is not making one” — as the future of the agriculture industry, we are faced with a lot of decisions.
Motivational speaker Heather Schultz says youth make up 26% of the population but are 100% of the future.
NJHA board members Tamar Adcock and Brady Jensen thank Dave Hawkins, retired MSU professor, for serving as a tour guide.

day long?” and 2) Your school cafeteria is proposing to move to a meatless Monday menu. How do you present your idea to oppose the situation? Other workshops included
“Robert’s Rules of Order” and “Dos and Don’ts of Your Wardrobe.” After the morning sessions, attendees loaded the bus and headed to Grand Haven State Park along Lake
Michigan to go swimming, play volleyball and visit one of the 115 lighthouses in the state of Michigan. The next stop was Grand Meadows Farm, home of the Dave and Jill Bielema Family. The final stop was Ridgeview Farms, owned by Bob and Jami Goble. After the tour at Gobles, everyone enjoyed a steak dinner and a barn dance. As the week came to an end, all attendees agreed it was a “mega fun” PRIDE. We all made new friends or grew closer to old ones, took in a lot of beautiful sights, learned a lot about the beef industry and how to become a better leader, and were privileged to see some wonderful Hereford cattle. HW Wednesday evening PRIDE participants enjoyed visiting Ridgeview Farms and danced the night away as DJ Keysto Stotz kept the dance mix playing.
NJHA board plans for the new year Prior to PRIDE (Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel) Convention, National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) directors attended a board retreat and planning session at Tim and Nancy Keilty’s family lakehouse on beautiful Lake Michigan. During the weekend, the board did some final PRIDE planning, including preparation work for the NJHA board-led workshops. They also discussed the 2012 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), made plans for the 2013 JNHE and discussed the NJHA bylaws and code of conduct. The team also enjoyed plenty of time on the beach and in and around the lake. Hereford.org
The NJHA board worked and played hard prior to PRIDE Convention. The retreat was hosted by Tim and Nancy Keilty of Cottonwood Springs Farm near Leland, Mich., on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
Certified Hereford Beef® makes its mark in the mountains. by Christy Couch Lee
T
he benefits and quality of Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) were recently touted high from the mountaintops, amidst trick roping and a Hereford bull on display. During the “Herefords on the Mountain” event June 30 at Dave’s Modern Tavern in Monteagle, Tenn., CHB was in the forefront. David James, owner of Dave’s Modern Tavern, worked with CHB Ambassador Kim Coley, Sewanee, Tenn., to develop this event promoting CHB – which James exclusively serves – Coley says. Sysco Nashville provided two CHB loins and a brisket, from which samples were prepared and served.
Ray Kozak, a world-renowned trick roper, provided entertainment during the Herefords on the Mountain event in Monteagle, Tenn., in June.

/ September 2012
Providing a festive and exciting atmosphere were local musical entertainers and Ray Kozak, a world renowned trick roper who is also herdsman at Walker Polled Hereford Farm, Morrison, Tenn. “He holds the Guinness World Record for throwing the longest loop at 93 feet. It’s amazing to watch him stand on his horse and toss those loops,” Coley says. Customers were also given the chance to see and touch a Hereford bull, courtesy of Burns Farms, Pikeville, Tenn. And numerous local Hereford producers were on hand to meet consumers and answer their questions.
Reaching the public With Monteagle being near the college town of Sewanee, “Herefords on the Mountain” drew consumers with diverse personalities and backgrounds, Coley says. “We answered a variety of questions, including ‘Why do you feed corn to your cattle?’ and ‘What are EPDs?,’” Coley says. “We were very transparent in their care and in how we respect our cattle, because they sustain us as human beings. These were great questions that we wouldn’t want anyone to answer – other than us, the cattle producers.” Consumers often appreciated the ability to visit face-to-face with Hereford breeders, Coley says. “It was great to have these good Hereford breeders talking with our audience,” she says. “It seems that sometimes, consumers aren’t educated on what we do, and they automatically think it’s bad. They think we can’t be taking as good care of our cattle as they expect us to. They are thrilled and relieved to hear from our breeders. We dispelled a lot of misconceptions that day.”
David James, owner of Dave’s Modern Tavern, says he only serves CHB because of its consistent quality and flavor.
A pinnacle of success The event packed Dave’s Modern Tavern, which served CHB specials all evening. Often, James hickory smokes Certified Hereford Beef ® prime rib and sirloin strips. In addition, he’s found great success with CHB teres major. “The teres major is a super, flavorful cut that we sear for a great salad. I’ve named it ‘Kim’s salad’ after Coley,” he explains. James says CHB is the perfect product for his business. “I am proud to serve Certified Hereford Beef at my tavern,” he says. “Our customers count on the consistency of the flavor and uncompromising quality in each cut. The restaurant business is tough. Thanks, Hereford ranchers, for making my job a little easier.” To learn more about Dave’s Modern Tavern, visit davesmoderntavern.com. HW Hereford.org

participate in events and contests — and the program has nothing to do with how you place in a contest,” Edenburn says. “You earn the same amount of points whether you place first or last.”
How it works
Pushing for Participation
The Illinois Junior Hereford Association rewards members for their participation in the “extras.” by Christy Couch Lee
N
o doubt about it — the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) holds some of the greatest competition ever to enter a showring. And, sometimes, the competition in the ring overshadows the many competitions outside the ring — those that help
to develop numerous life skills that will benefit youth for a lifetime. In order to shine the light on the value of these contests, the Illinois Junior Hereford Association (IJHA) recently created a program to reward IJHA members for their participation in such events. Buddy Edenburn, Penfield, Ill., is an IJHA advisor and serves on the board of directors for the Illinois Polled Hereford Association (IPHA). Last year, he and his wife and co-advisor, Lisa, developed the Hereford Youth Participation and Engagement program (HYPE). Peewee HYPE winners recognized for their 2011 participation “We wanted to are Trevor Bickelhaupt, second; Haley Bickelhaupt, second; encourage kids to and Lauren McMillan, first.
56
/ September 2012
The “HYPE year” begins with the Illinois Beef Expo in February, where points can be earned in the judging contest and by participating in the Hereford show. Next is the IJHA preview show with numerous contests and the show. Following is the JNHE with its 22 skill-based contests and show and the Illinois and Du Quoin State Fairs. “In addition, we have two junior meetings each year — one during the IJHA preview show, and one during the Illinois State Fair,” he says. “If you attend the meetings, you also earn points. It’s not about winning, but it’s about participation.” In the program’s first two years, nearly 30 IJHA members have enrolled in the program, which is sponsored by the IPHA. Awards are presented to a member in each age division, an approach which is in alignment with the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) categories — peewee, junior, intermediate and senior. Points are weighted based on the level of competition. A member can receive more points for JNHE because of the number of contests but all the events are equally weighted to give everyone a chance,” Edenburn says. Prizes are awarded at the association banquet held during the Illinois Beef Expo.
Why the need? The Edenburns saw a need for a program like HYPE when they began as IJHA advisors four years ago. “We had very little involvement in contests from our members,” he says. “We wanted to encourage these kids to get involved and be interested.” Hereford.org
And the response has been positive, he says. “We can see a difference in the past two years — not everyone is just wanting to play 3-on-3 basketball at the JNHE anymore,” Edenburn says with a smile. “Several of our members are giving speeches, and I see much more involvement across the board.” And this involvement can lead to great things later in life, he says. “Of course, we’re all here for a cattle show,” Edenburn says. “But these contests help our youth and prepare them for life. Speaking in public, being able to talk to an adult and look them in the eye, these contests help youth develop confidence and get them out of their comfort zone. Kids need to be able to step out and do that.” Haley and Trevor Bickelhaupt, Mt. Carroll, Ill., are 11-year-old fourth-year NJHA members. They won 2011 peewee division HYPE awards.
Throughout the year, the Bickelhaupts attend the Illinois Beef Expo, the IJHE preview show, JNHE, and the county and state fairs. Depending on the show, the twins participate in speech, showmanship, team fitting, creative arts and Hereford Bowl competition, in addition to exhibiting their heifers. Of the contests they enter, each has his or her favorites. “One of my favorites is fitting, because it’s fun and you don’t have to have the best heifer — but you can always have fun fitting and always get better,” Haley says. They were both surprised and honored to receive the award, Trevor says. “I didn’t know we were going to win, and I was surprised,” he says. Haley says the award program encourages Illinois Hereford youth to do more. “You’re already there to show,” she says. “And a lot of the contests
help you now and later in life. Why don’t you do them while you’re already there? If you’re on the borderline of doing it, go ahead. They’re fun!” Edenburn says if you’re a state advisor considering beginning a program of your own, remember that each participant is valuable. “Don’t get discouraged if you only get a couple of kids participating — because that’s a couple of kids you’re helping,” he says. “Fifteen years from now, they’ll be better kids because of it.” By highlighting the benefits of contest participation, the IJHA is doing something even more important — shining the spotlight on the talents and skills of its members. And really, is there anything more valuable than that? HW

Livin’ the Hereford Life M
ore than 660 Hereford youth and their families traveled to Grand Island, Neb., July 2-8 for the 2012 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). Hosted by Nebraska Hereford youth at the Nebraska State Fairgrounds in Grand Island, the 2012 JNHE was a fun-filled week of contests and activities. A record 1,231 entries — including 538 polled owned heifers, 215 horned owned heifers, 250 bred-and-owned heifers, 78 bred-and-owned bulls, 37 cow-calf pairs and 106 steers — were exhibited throughout the week. Also during the week, nearly $25,000 in scholarships was awarded to juniors, and Hereford youth had the opportunity to participate in more than 23 contests outside the showring. An event of this magnitude is possible only through the generous support of corporate and breeder sponsors. The 2012 VitaFerm® JNHE was sponsored by BioZyme Inc., St. Joseph, Mo., and Sullivan Supply/Stock Show U, Dunlap, Iowa. The event is an action-packed seven days.

— Champion Senior Showman
A Little Dirt Never Hurt 2012 JNHE Senior Champion Showman Amanda Ash has found success by getting her hands dirty. by Christy Couch Lee
S
ure, it takes talent. And a little luck doesn’t hurt, either. But for Amanda Ash, Newton, Wis., her ticket to the 2012 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) Senior Champion Showmanship title was found through a simple combination so often overlooked — hard work and dedication. For Amanda rising before sunrise and working past sunset are just part of the routine. And, as she’ll tell you, that routine has led to an accomplishment beyond her wildest dreams. Twenty-one-year-old Amanda has shown cattle since she was 9. Beginning her show career in the Simmental breed, she made the switch to Herefords last year. “My dad was raised in the Simmental breed, and I was, too,” she says. “But in 2005, we bought our first Hereford, because we liked where the breed was going and the amount of progress it was making. Last year, I bought my first Hereford heifer, and now I have two.”
Hard work Since last year, Amanda has been working full time in addition to pursuing her junior show career. Graduating from Lakeshore College in July 2011, she has since worked as an accountant with a firm in Chilton, Wis. “I work 45 hours a week during the ‘slow’ times, and 60 hours a week from January to April,” Amanda says. “My dad and I run the cattle

operation on the side. And my parents certainly come in handy during the busy times.” This schedule can certainly make for some long hours. But her employer appreciates the work ethic she possesses, she says. “In every job I’ve ever had, my bosses have said there’s no work ethic like that from a farm kid,” Amanda says. “And I look at showmanship and showing cattle as a job interview. Every time you enter that ring, you’re promoting yourself as if you were in a job interview.” This mentality has led to her moment in the spotlight during the 2012 JNHE senior showmanship finals.
A shining moment Beyond the obvious, advancing to the showmanship finals was special as it was her final chance as a National Junior Hereford Association member to achieve this honor, Amanda says. She says she had aspirations of doing well in showmanship, but she had no idea what Thursday, July 5, would bring. “When I entered my showmanship class that morning, my goal was to be myself and put a smile on my face,” she says. “When I made it out of my class, I thought, ‘This is cool!’ When I made it through the semifinals, I
was super excited. And when I made it to the finals and the judge said, ‘I’ll see you tonight’ — well, words can’t even describe how excited I was. As I went into the finals that night, I was prepared to get 10th, because I had never done this before. So I put a big smile on my face and decided to do my best, hoping that luck would go my way, just this once.” Amanda says she felt slightly intimidated to fit her heifer in front of the crowds at the showmanship ringside. So, she simply determined she would do her best with a smile. And do her best, she did. “When the announcer began introducing the placings from 10th place up, I was listening for my number to be called,” she says. “When continued on page 74...

— Champion Senior Showman continued
Amanda Ash says she’s never seen her dad more excited than when she exited the showring as the JNHE senior champion showman.
I realized I was in the top five, I was very excited. When I made the top three, I could barely stand up. When I made the top two, I started shaking — so much so, I was barely able to hold my heifer’s halter. And when they called the other number, I was just speechless. I don’t think I could stop smiling, and I saw my dad jump up and down, and scream.” As Amanda exited the showring, she was astounded by her dad’s reaction. “I’ve been alive for 21 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen my dad cry like he did when I walked out of the ring,” she says. “He gave me the biggest hug. Something like this has never happened before.”
Top tips for showmanship success Amanda Ash, Newton, Wis., was named the 2012 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) Senior Champion Showman. She shares her top tips for youth pursuing the same showmanship success. Keep it fun. “Go out and do what you love,” Amanda says. “If you don’t win, no, it’s not the best. But not everyone gets to have this experience. It takes a lot of time and money to do this, and I don’t have to have the best heifer. But the things you learn and the relationships you make last a lifetime. And you’ll never lose that.” Be calm, cool and collected. “Try not to get too upset in the showring if your heifer isn’t acting perfect,” she says. “Just ‘chillax.’ Take five seconds, take a deep breath, and tell yourself, ‘I can do this.’” Amanda says your heifer will pick up the vibes of your emotions. “Your animal will notice your emotions,” she says. “She will be calm if you are. But if you’re not confident, your heifer will wonder if she’s protected and safe. And she won’t be calm.”
74
/ September 2012
Make the connection. “My parents laugh at me, because I talk to my heifers,” Amanda says. “I talk to them when I can sense they’re getting nervous, to help them refocus on me. During showmanship, a stroller went by. I could see it in Paisley’s eyes – she got nervous, because she’d never seen that before. So I said, ‘It’s okay,’ and she immediately calmed down.” Know your surroundings. Amanda ensures she knows the showring before a show. If she’s in the first class, she examines the ring to see how it’s laid out. “I try to determine if people will be sitting along the rail, because some heifers and steers don’t like that,” she says. “And, if I’m the second class or later, I always watch the first class to determine where we’ ll walk in, stand and set up. It helps to have confidence on where you’re going and what you’re doing.” Put in the work. Amanda says there are days when the work seems overwhelming, but it’s always worth it. “There are nights we don’t get in from the barn until midnight, and I have to get back up at 5 a.m. to do chores again before I go to work,” she says. “I have to have the mindset that the hard work will pay off. And winning this competition has shown me that all of those years of work have done just that – they’ve paid off.” HW
Amanda believes she experienced this moment because of her relaxed style in the ring.
Takin’ it easy She describes her showmanship style as “reserved.” “I don’t have a sparkly belt or showstick or earrings,” Amanda says. “I care more about my cattle than myself in the ring. I always try to make her comfortable. I can sweat and look like I jumped out of a pond, but I want to be sure she’s comfortable.” Amanda believes she has learned to hone her showmanship style by watching others, including her sister, Jennifer. “I used to watch her show, and watch other people ask her to show for them. Someday, I wanted to be better than her,” she says with a smile. “I’ve always watched other people in the ring, too, and learned what I wanted to do to better myself.” Working at home and learning to know her heifers’ personalities has helped, as well. “There’s a personal bond between you and your heifer,” she says. “If you can have that, it seems to go a lot easier. I go out and talk to her — telling her ‘Let’s go for a walk,’ so she knows me. It’s funny — if anyone else tries to lead her, she doesn’t want any part of it. It’s like she says, ‘No, I just want Amanda.’” Travis Pierce, Baraboo, Wis., has known the Ash family for years and raised the heifer that took Amanda to showmanship success this year. And, he knows a bit about the feeling of showmanship success. He was the reserve champion senior showman at the 2006 JNHE. Pierce says Amanda’s relaxed attitude helps her excel in the showring. In addition, he says, her confidence and calmness help set her apart. “She knows how to show one,” he says. “She is so relaxed, and she never gets worked up. During the semifinals, she got caught in the corner. She stayed calm and collected, and got her heifer out where she needed to be.” Amanda says viewing showmanship like a dance helps her stay in tune with her animal. “I’ve taught myself not to use a showstick, but rather, to let the heifer Hereford.org
naturally do the work,” Amanda says. “I just help her through the process. It’s like a dance partner — I let her lead, and I just go along with it.” Dave Steinhoff, New Lisbon, Wis., has known Amanda and her family for several years through showing cattle together. He says her true self is highlighted when she steps into the showring. “Her personality just shines when she’s out in the showring,” he says. “She’s very classy.”
Putting in the work Amanda says no matter the style, there’s no substitute for hard work at home. “Dad has always stressed that hard work will pay off,” she says. “And that’s what I remind myself — there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.” The hard work also extends to the showbarn, she says. “We never hire a fitter — my dad is big on doing it ourselves,” Amanda says. “We will be the first into the barns in the morning, and we try to get everything in order and keep them on their schedules, and we worry about ourselves later. I’m not sure I ate during the entire showmanship day. The heifers came first — I had to make sure they were good to go.” Steinhoff says Amanda’s work ethic and drive set her apart. “It’s not her first rodeo,” Steinhoff says. “She does a great job, and she works hard. She’s one of the first ones in the barn in the morning, and one of the last ones to leave at night. It all goes back to her having her animals prepared before the show. Their cattle are so well groomed, and it doesn’t happen the day of the show. The work begins several months prior.” Pierce agrees. “They’re all-around good people,” he says, and they’re a pleasure to be around. “They are hard workers, and they love what they do.” Pierce says Amanda captured the showmanship honors because of her dedication. “It takes a lot of heart and soul to get it done,” he says. “They’re in the barn every day, rinsing and brushing. Dedication is her biggest attribute.” Hereford.org
Aside from her dedication to showmanship success, Amanda has seen the spotlight with her cattle, as well.
Rewards in the ring This year, Amanda claimed the JNHE Division I champion bred-and-owned heifer honors. Through the years, Amanda and her family have shown at many shows across Wisconsin and numerous regional shows through the Simmental association. However, Amanda says, she’s most enjoyed her times in the Hereford show circuit. “We began showing Herefords because we heard it was a great breed and people,” she says. “We’ve never had as much fun as we’ve had while showing Herefords.” Last year, she purchased her first Hereford heifer from Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch, Ree Heights, S.D., and had great success in the Wisconsin jackpot circuit. “We showed seven times, and had supreme champion twice and reserve once,” Amanda says. In addition, she won her class at numerous shows from Indiana to Louisville and across Wisconsin. Her Hereford experience would not

be as great without the great people of the breed, she says.
People make the difference When her family has needed advice or help, Amanda says, the Hereford family is there. “We’re so new to the breed, and we didn’t know what we were supposed to do, starting out,” she says. “But the Hereford family has taken us in. It’s nice to know people are there to help us. We couldn’t have done it without the people, and the Wisconsin Hereford Association.” continued on page 76...
Amanda Ash says capturing the JNHE senior champion showmanship title is a result of the support of her family and friends, including (left to right) sister Allison, dad Rob, sister Nicole, mom Christine, and family friend and mentor Travis Pierce.

— Champion Senior Showman continued
Amanda says she looks up to many people in the industry, including Pierce and Steinhoff. “Travis was the JNHE reserve champion showman six years ago, and he’s one of only three of us from Wisconsin to place that highly,” she says. “He gave me constructive criticism between heats during showmanship, and I did my best to learn and remember his suggestions.” However, Amanda says, her greatest mentors have always been her parents. “Dad and I are connected at the hip — we do everything together,” she says. “We get up every day at 5 a.m. and do chores together, work full time, and then work the cattle together in the evenings. He’s taught me to be able to talk to anyone, and to be open to constructive criticism, too.” Amanda says her mom has taught her about caring for a family while working full time — and maintaining balance during it all. “My mom — Christine — is a school secretary, and my dad — Rob — is a manager at the utility company,” she
says. “Every year, my brother, sisters and I would pick our show heifers by picking a name out of the hat.” Amanda says she’s learned a lot from showing with her family, which includes brother, Brandon, 26, and sisters Jennifer, 24, Nicole, 13, and Allison, 8. She is encouraged by her younger sisters — Allison and Nicole — following in her footsteps, too. “Allison and I go out in our shorts and boots and work cattle together,” Amanda says. “We’ve always been super close.” Allison has been showing cattle for two years. Her big sister seems to be rubbing off on her, as she placed in the top 10 of the JNHE peewee showmanship competition this year, as well. She says Amanda is her greatest mentor and supporter. “We like to wash cattle, and she helps me with my heifer,” Allison says. “She has shown me how to set up their feet and how to keep their heads up high. She also teaches me how to help
my heifer calm down, and I talk to my heifer and settle her down. Then she does so much better.” And, when her big sister was named the senior champion showman, Allison says, she couldn’t have been happier. “I was really happy that she won, and I screamed,” she says. “I want to be like her someday, because she’s so good at what she does.” And Allison isn’t the only young person to desire to be like Amanda, Steinhoff says. In fact, he says, Amanda serves as a mentor to countless younger members. “She’s not arrogant whatsoever, and she’s a mentor to a lot of little kids,” he says. “When a little kid comes up and asks questions, she’s always willing to help. She may be getting her animal ready for the showring, but she always takes the time.” With this focus on helping others and a dedication to being the best she can be, Amanda is sure to go far in life. It’s all a matter of putting in the work. HW

— Retiring NJHA Board Members
Moving On After serving three years on the NJHA board, these four Hereford youth are ready for the next stage of their lives.
Retiring directors (pictured, l to r) are: Hunter Grayson, Andrew Albin, Mallorie Phelps and Kevin Ernst.
S
aturday night, July 7, during the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) awards banquet, four Hereford youth passed their maroon jackets on to four new National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) leaders. Before they did so, they shared thankyous with the many people who have touched their lives and aided them during their terms on the NJHA board. Since 2009 this foursome — Andrew Albin, Kevin Ernst, Hunter Grayson and Mallorie Phelps — has traveled the U.S. representing the NJHA and assisting in shows and conferences. During the JNHE, these “oldies,” as the retiring four are called, took time to answer some questions about their time in the NJHA as well as their future plans and goals.
Andrew Albin The 20-year-old son of David and Julie Albin, Newman, Ill., Andrew is a junior at Parkland College, majoring Andrew in animal science and criminal justice. He has been a member of the Illinois Junior Hereford Association for seven years and is currently serving as a director. Hereford.org
Andrew has attended three Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Conventions and five JNHEs. He is a member of the Saluki college bass team, as well as a forefather of the Southern Illinois Farmhouse Fraternity. As an active FFA member, he served as chapter president, vice president and treasurer. Andrew says his goal as an NJHA board member was to help the Hereford breed and Hereford youth to be the best they can be. He adds that his favorite memory as a board member was when he worked the ring the first time during the grand champion drive in Tulsa. He attended his first JNHE in 2005. He says his favorite part of the JNHE is the Hereford grill-off because of the enthusiasm the participants exhibit during the contest.
Kevin Ernst Continuing the family tradition in the Hereford business started by his father and continued by his Kevin sisters, Kevin has been an NJHA member since 1998. The 20-year-old son of Marshall and
Barbara Ernst, Windsor, Colo., served as the 2011-12 NJHA membership chair. When asked why he wanted to be an NJHA board member, Kevin says, “I wanted to be able to give something back to the association, the breed and everyone in it who has done so much for me. I wanted to do something for them.” Kevin has also served as president, vice president and reporter of the Colorado Junior Beef Association. Recently graduated from Northeastern Junior College in Sterling, Colo., Kevin is beginning his junior year at Colorado State University this fall, studying ag business and animal science. Showing cattle locally, regionally and nationally has been part of Kevin’s life for many years and will be for many more. “My future plans are going to be: graduate from college, find a job in the agriculture industry, settle down and raise my family in the Hereford breed.”
Mallorie Phelps A fourth generation Hereford breeder, Mallorie decided to get her first show steer from Mallorie the same family her mother did when she started showing. And Mallorie says she’s been hooked ever since. The 19-year-old daughter of Shannon Mehaffey, Grandview, Texas, Mallorie is currently a sophomore at Texas A&M University (TAMU), majoring in animal science, and is part of TAMU’s honors program. This year she will be serving on the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Council as well as being a member of the Aggie REPS continued on page 78...

(Recruiting Exceptional Perspective Students), TAMU Saddle & Sirloin and the meats judging program. Mallorie is an active member of the Texas Junior Hereford Association, having served as vice president for 2011-12 and president for 2010-11. She attended PRIDE Conventions at Boise State, Washington, D.C., Mississippi State and Texas A&M University. In addition to showing at the JNHE, Phelps has competed in many contests. She is looking forward to being an advocate for the Hereford breed and striving to educate beef retailers as well as the general public about the positive attributes of Hereford beef. “I had always aspired to get a maroon jacket ever since my first JNHE and PRIDE,” Mallorie says. “NJHA board members are constantly giving back to the NJHA and are leaders — that was a role I strongly desired.”
This past year she served as the NJHA fundraising chair. She says her favorite JNHE contest is showmanship. “This is a contest when a junior’s skills are judged and it does not matter how good your calf is,” she says. “If you work hard and practice, anyone can win.” After graduating from TAMU she plans to attend graduate school.
Hunter Grayson The 20-year-old son of Richard Grayson, Watkinsville, Ga., attends Athens Technical College, Hunter Athens, Ga. A junior, majoring in marketing, he plans to become an auctioneer and real estate broker. A fifth-generation Hereford breeder, Hunter has been an NJHA member since 2006 and attended his
first JNHE in 2007. He served as the Georgia Junior Hereford Association vice president. Hunter is also the chairman of the Rope a Dream Foundation, honoring the late NJHA member Jordan Ellis. Hunter is passionate about educating junior Hereford members, as they are the future of the NJHA. He says his main goal as an NJHA board member was to continue the outstanding NJHA traditions and encourage members to reach their full potential. He says his favorite part of the JNHE is “seeing old friends, making new ones, and eating the leftovers from the grill-off.” This fall Hunter will be opening an auction company while continuing his education.

the little things The National Hereford Queen teaches youth about giving back through her JNHE service project. by Christy Couch Lee
N
ational Hereford Queen Amanda Bacon, Siloam Springs, Ark., says she realizes how fortunate National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members can be — traveling the country, developing relationships and building their future by attending the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). “We are so lucky that we get to travel and go to cattle shows, and a lot of people don’t even have the basics,” she says. “Everything counts. It’s not just the big things. It’s the small things, too.” This concept spurred an idea. At the 2012 JNHE, Amanda began the Helping Hooves community service project. The concept is simple. She asked NJHA members to bring toiletries from hotels — the small bottles of shampoo and conditioner and packages of soap — to the show to be donated to charity. Through promotion in the NJHA “The Advantage” newsletter, Facebook and flyers at the JNHE, she created a movement. The result? More than 1,100 items were donated by NJHA members and their families. And
on Saturday, July 7, these items were presented to Hope Harbor, Grand Island, Neb., a shelter for local homeless families. Amanda Groff, Hope Harbor development director, says these items are more than shampoo and conditioner to the more than 800 people they help each year. “We serve many families who have a place to stay, but they don’t have money to make ends meet,” she says. “Those hygiene products help these families pay rent and utilities, because they don’t have to worry about paying for shampoo and soap, and the basics of keeping their kids clean. They are able to focus on getting back on their feet again.” Amanda, an 18-year-old freshman at Oklahoma State University, says NJHA members can make a difference on many levels — from a canned food drive in their local communities to national projects such as this. And, she says, each project is important. “We need to remember how lucky we are, as NJHA members, to be involved in this industry and have
this group of people to fall back on,” Amanda says. “We believe it’s ‘common’ to have food and electricity. But across the country — even in our hometowns — some people don’t have that luxury.” Amanda says she hopes this project will continue and grow throughout the years. “If we keep doing it year after year, NJHA members and their families will hopefully consider the project to be routine,” she says. “I hope it can become a standard project with the JNHE.” HW

Leading By Example 2012 Herdsman of the Year Brady Jensen says to be successful in the ring, you need to dedicate time at home.
Brady Jensen, Courtland, Kan., was named the 2012 Herdsman of the Year during the JNHE in Grand Island, Neb.
“L
ivin’ the Hereford Life” is a true description of Brady Jensen’s life since he was in diapers. Born into the Hereford breed, he has spent countless hours in the showbarn and pasture caring for Hereford cattle. Because of his dedication, knowledge and skill, Brady was
voted by his peers to win this year’s Herdsman of the Year title and coveted belt buckle. Brady was awarded the title prior to the conclusion of the 2012 VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Grand Island, Neb. A committee of national advisors chose five finalists for the Herdsman of the Year award and JNHE participants voted for the winner. “I feel very honored to win this award,” Brady says. “I have looked up to several people that have been privileged enough to receive the award in the past. I hope to continue setting a good example for the youth of our association.” A member of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) for 18 years, Brady has shown at 12 JNHEs. The 19-year-old son of Kevin and Sheila Jensen, Courtland, Kan., Brady is currently a sophomore at Butler Community College (BCC), El Dorado, Kan.
Showing is a family affair for the Jensen family. Pictured here are Brooke, Sheila, Ben, Kevin and Brady.

of making breeding decisions. “I also like showing guests around the ranch. I enjoy talking pedigrees and being part of the marketing side of the business.” He also adds that one of his fondest memories was helping with his family’s production sale last fall and being in the sale ring when their herd sire Redeem sold — a moment that validated all the hard work and effort his family has put into developing a successful breeding program.
Family time Brady is the oldest of the three Jensen children, and showing Herefords is definitely a family affair for the Jensens. “Working together as a family, we have experienced many fond memories that we will cherish for life,” Brady says. Chris Mullinix, BCC associate professor of agriculture and livestock judging coach, says this about the Jensen family and Brady, “As a fellow Hereford breeder, I’ve had the
opportunity to know and work closely with the Jensen family for more than a decade. I’ve also had the pleasure of watching Brady and his siblings mature through their involvement in various youth activities. “I hope that someday I will have the foresight to do for my children what Kevin and Sheila have done for Brady. With numerous resources at their disposal and an opportunity to make things easy for Brady; they’ve kept things in perspective and brought up a young man that has learned through hard work. He doesn’t just love working with cattle; he understands the business, grasps the concepts of nutrition, has an astute eye for evaluation and values the importance of genetics and pedigree information. How many 18 year olds can you truly say that about? As an educator, it’s exciting to challenge Brady to think at yet another level and expand his knowledge base.”
After graduation from BCC, Brady plans to continue his animal science education at a four-year university, then seek a master’s degree in animal genetics. After graduation, he hopes to be involved in the animal genetics industry and ultimately return to Courtland someday and continue his family’s tradition of raising Herefords. There’s no doubt Brady has done the work at home, developed the skills necessary to be successful and then led by example. Because of this, he is now being recognized by his peers as a herdsman they admire and respect. HW

Youth Learn About Genomic Tools, Genetic Improvement
A
n educational conference for youth on genomic and genetic improvement tools was held June 23-26 in Nebraska. The Young Leaders Conference at the 2012 National Program for Genetic Improvement of Feed Efficiency in Beef Cattle and the Weight Trait Project Stakeholder Meeting was designed for young beef industry leaders. Two representatives from the Hereford breed — Lauren Schiermiester, Buffalo, Wyo., and Bridget Beran, Claflin, Kan. — were invited to attend. The event was hosted by University of Nebraska at Lincoln (UNL) Animal Science Department Professor and Extension Specialist Matt Spangler along with Kansas State University
Animal Science Professor and Extension Specialist Bob Weaber. The conference’s purpose was to “provide educational programming to young leaders from U.S. breeds on the improvement of feed efficiency and use of genomic tools for selection of beef cattle. Also to provide opportunities for the young leaders to interact with project collaborating producers, project and USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) scientists and allied industry personnel.” The three-day conference kicked off with tours of UNL animal science department and GeneSeek Inc. Beran said the GeneSeek tour was exciting because it is the new American Hereford Association DNA lab. “We were given an in-depth tour and explanation
of the DNA collection and testing process. It’s amazing all the knowledge we can now gather from one little hair follicle.” The rest of the conference was held at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (US-MARC) at Clay Center. Schiermiester said, “I learned just how important genomics will be in the future of animal breeding and how far we have come regarding the molecular research and data. Genomics and DNA technologies will play a role in selection and breed improvement and also increase EPD accuracies.” The conference wrapped up with a tour of US-MARC, which Beran described as “a sprawling facility where they conduct research projects while still maintaining production.” HW
