In the Spirit of Mr. Hershey

Milton Hershey, the early 20th century chocolate company magnate, and his wife, Catherine, were unable to have their own children but decided to use their wealth to create a home and school for orphaned boys in 1909. The school later opened for both boys and girls from underprivileged backgrounds as a means to instill a quality education, family values, a work ethic and a chance to contribute to society in a positive way. Upon the death of Catherine in 1918, Milton donated all of his $60 million dollars in wealth and established the Hershey Deed of Trust. The trust also mandated that 30% of Hershey Corporation profits (America’s largest chocolate company and fifth largest in the world) would go toward the support of the Milton Hershey School. Corporate stockholder challenges have hotly contested the profit contribution to the school through the years, but Milton’s ironclad trust has withstood the corporate test of time into the new millennium. Today, the trust manages assets of $7 billion that supports the school. Each year, more than 200 senior high students from underprivileged, povertystricken backgrounds graduate with top-notch high school educations along with an appreciation of the work ethic involved in horticulture, farming, beef cattle and dairy cattle production, and a host of other skill development opportunities.

/ September 2014

More than 1,900 children in grades K through 12 are selected from diverse areas of the country to attend the school and to live in family units cost free. Upon graduation, the students are awarded full collegiate scholarships if they make minimum grade standards. What’s even more impressive is they each have the opportunity to work on a host of farms and to develop life skills that would have never been possible in their original home environments. There are a lot of similarities in what Hereford breeder families provide our young people from what could be considered rural affluent backgrounds and what the Milton Hershey School is providing young people that do not have those family resources. In 2000, Milton Hershey School farms became a member of the American Hereford Association. For 14 years, its beef seedstock teaching herd has been exclusively Hereford. I had an opportunity to visit with Rachel Teller, the agriculture resource manager for the Milton Hershey School, who said that approximately 20 students have the opportunity to work on the purebred Hereford operation each year. The program is used in its teaching program where kids from K through 12 can learn the difference between beef and dairy cattle and can get a working knowledge of how a ruminant animal functions. Approximately 20 Hershey students attended the most recent Junior

National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Harrisburg, Pa., two of whom participated in the showmanship competition. Rachel was elated that these kids had the opportunity to attend a major junior national event for the first time and to network with kids from rural family backgrounds. Milton Hershey’s wonderful spirit and passion for helping kids succeed in life is the very spirit that filled the hearts and minds of the amazing organization team that planned and hosted the 2014 JNHE in Harrisburg. Initially, there was a little hesitation in agreeing to schedule the event so far away from traditional cow country. However, under topnotch leadership, impeccable multi-state collaboration and a fundraising machine that rivaled any we have seen, the 2014 JNHE will go down as one of the most rewarding and hospitable events in JNHE history. As for the parents who agreed to haul cattle, supplies and kids across the country on 24- to 72-hour drives, congratulations. You all collectively demonstrated the same spirit of Milton Hershey. This year’s event was within 100 head from matching what would be considered a very large Midwestern U.S. exhibition entry level. What a privilege it was to witness people with similar passion for kids, cattle, the Hereford breed and our beef cattle industry working together in such an amazing way. You should all be very proud.

September 2014 /

The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met Aug. 6 in Chico, Calif., for the summer board planning and budget meeting. The following are highlights of the meeting:

The Board reviewed components of the strategic plan and various initiatives that are in continued progress and formulated a budget for fiscal 2015. The Board acknowledged that in the last three years the Association returned profits to financial reserves of just under $500,000 and will likely report another profit of $100,000 in fiscal year 2014. The Board then approved a deficit budget for the upcoming 2015 fiscal year of -$115,000 after depreciation, and they advanced expenses in DNA technology, continued breed and commercial industry research, enhanced industry communication, and Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) sale and marketing support. The AHA is projected to generate $6.4 million of revenue next year from its parent company and subsidiaries and will work to utilize those funds to advance the breed through member service, promotion and advertising, research, commercial marketing and advertising, and youth development efforts.

Progress of DNA laboratory The Board reviewed efforts by staff to work with GeneSeek Inc. to improve efficiency of turnaround time so that GeneSeek might meet its promise of 10-day turnaround. Staff is still working toward resolving programmatic issues that will allow for more rapid interpretation and reporting of DNA test results.

GeneSeek has made progress by moving into a larger space, establishing more capacity and moving toward better systems for streamlined testing. It was reported that in July, GeneSeek completed 92,000 DNA tests, all within a 10-day turnaround, which exceeded the volume of samples during peak season in December 2013. This situation is showing progress.

Working to commercialize new traits Sustained cow fertility, heifer calving rate and udder score EPDs are all being bid for commercial evaluation. It is hoped that they will be commercialized and released by the first quarter of 2015.

Important Board recommendation All breeders hosting sales in early 2015 who wish to test for genomicenhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) should not wait on the new LD (low density) panel but instead should start the process in September. Even though the lab is making progress, it may experience an even larger spike of test requests this fall/ winter. Waiting later may risk running into the same backlog experienced last December and January.

Launch of new LD panel delayed Due to the time it has taken to train and properly validate the new and upcoming LD panel and to correlate it to the current HD (high density) panel, the AHA will delay its launch by at least 30 days. This delay is another reason to not wait until the last minute to genotype calf crops. Waiting until mid to late October could create risk of backlog ahead of sale season, which may not be worth the cost advantage.

MyHerd progress, new features MyHerd has expanded and reached more than 824 users, which links 1,455 member accounts to the online registry and performance recording system. The initial response from breeders has been good. New features of the MyHerd system forthcoming this fall will be the option to go paperless and to store registration papers electronically along with an Excel spreadsheet tool that will allow breeders to work offline and yet will be compatible to MyHerd for data submission.

Marketing committee recommendations approved More than a $200,000 investment in print media and electronic advertising was approved. AHA will continue its current advertising campaign through the fall while a new campaign is under development. The committee approved funding for commercial marketing efforts among video marketing venues targeting the commercial sector.

Simplot Data Release In 2011 the American Hereford Association (AHA) and Simplot Livestock Co. partnered on a research project to document the benefits of using calvingease Hereford sires in a large-scale predominately Angus heifer program. Calving ease and calf 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. In Table 1 you will find the results of the 2013-born calves. This project was initially designed to use

Hereford sires on virgin heifers, but it has extended into some cows as well. The calves were all DNA sire identified, and data were collected by the Simplot cowboys and feedlot staff at all levels of production including feed intake. A few things to recognize with this data: 1) All of the data will be used in the PanAmerican Cattle Evaluation (PACE) even though the females were crossbred because there is a minimum of 70 straws of semen used on each sire and the females are randomly mated.

2) A high-accuracy Angus sire is used along with the Hereford sires for comparison. 3) Enhancer has been a heavily used Hereford bull for years at Simplot, so the number of calves sired by him are far greater than other sires; thus, some of the ratios may look a little out of balance because of the number of progeny from each sire. 4) The Angus-sired calves were not fed in the GrowSafe system for individual feed intake. 5) All of the data reported are raw with

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

Promoting Hereford-influenced cattle Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC Supply Chain Manager Trey Befort has been busy attending events promoting Hereford and Herefordinfluenced feeder cattle. The week of July 7-11 Trey was in Steamboat Springs, Colo., where he attended the Superior Livestock Auction “Week in the Rockies XXVI” trade show. Trey represented CHB LLC at the cattle video auction that offered 207,000 head, including more than 8,000 Hereford-influenced cattle. This was an opportunity to promote CHB LLC and the Hereford breed and to educate both buyers and sellers. From Steamboat, he went to the Silver Legacy Casino in Reno, Nev., to attend the Western Video Market Auction July 14-16. Trey teamed up with American Hereford Association (AHA) Western Region Field Representative Mark Holt to work the trade show booth during the video auction. AHA and CHB LLC promoted the Hereford breed and the CHB program while 100,000 head were sold with more than 7,000 of those being Hereford-influenced.

ACF utilizes CHB in BBQ competition The American Culinary Federation Inc. (ACF) is a professional organization for chefs and cooks. The ACF was founded in 1929 in New York by three different chefs’ organizations — the Société Culinaire Philanthropique, The Vatel Club and the Chefs de Cuisine Association of America. ACF is an organization based on promoting the professional image of American chefs worldwide through education of “culinarians” at all levels. Chefs brought their talents and passions to Kansas City July 24-25. Culinary professionals descended upon the city for some of the best BBQ in the country and tried their hand at cooking brisket. Twenty-five teams from across the country competed, and all of them used CHB® to showcase their talents. When the smoke settled, all of the teams were deserving of prizes.

Start up in St. Louis The CHB program was introduced to more than 60 sales reps during the Sysco St. Louis CHB Launch on July 25. The event was a three-hour training session that included videos, role play for selling, overcoming objections, testimonials and success stories. Amari Manning, Sysco Minnesota premium protein specialist, did a fantastic job of getting the group excited and focused on selling CHB. Mick Welch, CHB LLC vice president of sales, and June Dunn, Sysco Minnesota premium protein specialist, joined Mike Mitchem, CHB LLC director of food service sales, for the event. The launch ended with a lunch featuring roasted CHB classic strip loins, and sales representatives getting photo opportunities with “Herbie” the CHB blow-up steer.

Herbie in Minnesota Bump’s Family Restaurant of Minnesota requested the use of “Herbie” for a July 26 event. Herbie helped feature CHB roast beef sandwiches all weekend. Bump’s signature roast beef sandwich is its largest seller, and is known for miles around. Bump’s uses CHB for its famous sandwiches and attributes the quality of Herefords to its success. HW

An Amazing Summer Who wouldn’t love Herefords and our youth after this absolutely amazing summer? From the wonderful state association junior shows across the U.S. to the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) that was hosted in the great state of Pennsylvania to finish out our summer at a truly special Faces of Leadership convention hosted in Arkansas. Your National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) directors made their rounds to many of the state and regional junior shows and activities, and the reports were more than impressive. The growth of our junior association and the involvement we are seeing within the membership are truly inspiring and are a credit to many of the

leaders and advisors within each state association. The 2014 JNHE was a truly magnificent event. From the different conversations I had with families around the barns, it seemed like it was many families’ first trip that far east, but they were all very much enjoying the different scenery and truly highquality facilities. Also, we had many new faces at JNHE, and those new exhibitors stepped right up to the plate. We had more participation in many activities throughout the week and heard nothing but positive responses. There were many opportunities for the juniors outside of the showring and the competition circle. Many youth visited historical sites like those at Gettysburg, and some juniors looking to cure their sweet tooth ventured over to Hershey to find a bite of chocolate. At the end of the week, we watched four seasoned and outstanding leaders retire from the junior board of directors. But, with our outstanding junior membership, we had some great candidates in the election for the junior board of directors, and four very deserving members were handed a maroon jacket (see Pages 64 and 66). Just a few days later the Hereford youth were given a-once-in-alifetime experience at the Faces of Leadership or Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention that was held in Arkansas. The group toured some amazing family operations and listened to many talented and informational speakers, but potentially the most important dynamic of the event was getting the opportunity to visit Tyson headquarters. For more about PRIDE Convention, see Page xx. In my years as a junior member, I have traveled all across the

country attending many PRIDE Conventions, but this year’s event was excellent. Adding the business aspect to the event, I think, helped really connect the dots of what our goals for the event are all about. Cultivating Hereford youth into great adults is truly what the NJHA is all about. Because of the many opportunities we offered this summer, I cannot help but say that this organization is headed in the right direction. The future of the NJHA is shining bright, and I can’t wait to see what is next.

Thank you The 2014 JNHE was my final time to walk into the showring as an exhibitor. I still don’t think I am ready to accept that, but I know I couldn’t have invested my time any more wisely over the last 14 years. Words can’t express how thankful I am for the doors and opportunities this association has opened up for me. I owe my parents a great deal of thanks for selecting this junior program for me to be a part of. During my first years in the junior program, I was touched by so many great leaders within the Hereford breed. I began to idolize many of those young adults when I was going through the ranks of the NJHA and had dreamed of wearing a maroon jacket someday. While in Harrisburg, I was fortunate enough to be elected NJHA chairman. Being elected chairman was more than just an accomplishment for me; it was truly an honor. As your 2014-15 chairman, I am happy to say that the NJHA has built me. Every leadership attribute that I have and every skill I have gained has been crafted through my time in the NJHA. The direction the juniors are taking this association is going to be nothing but great, and I am excited to see where we go. HW Hereford.org

NHW JNHE Highlights The annual high point of the National Hereford Women (NHW) board of directors’ year is attending and helping with the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) and celebrating Hereford juniors’ accomplishments. The 2014 JNHE July 5-12 in Harrisburg, Pa., also offered an opportunity for NHW directors to network with Hereford enthusiasts, to host the semi-annual membership meeting and evening social event, and to offer Herefordinspired gifts for purchase. “NHW’s mission is to provide leadership and education opportunities for Hereford women and youth and to promote Hereford cattle,” says Carol Priefert, NHW president. “We love being a part of seeing the youth grow through the available opportunities like applying for the scholarships, participating in the grill-off, and through the various queen programs. The JNHE is an excellent family event that the NHW is proud to be involved with.”

Scholarships NHW proudly helps coordinate various contests, scholarships and awards during the JNHE. Thousands of dollars were presented this year to a record number of youth

who applied for scholarships and awards and participated in various activities. The scholarships and awards included Ed Bible, Future Cattleman, Golden Bull and Junior Golden Bull, John Wayne, Poll-ette Founders, creative arts, extemporaneous speech, CHB grilloff, heifer award, illustrated speech, Junior and Senior Prospect Awards, and the Bud Snidow Award.

Hereford royalty During NHW’s semi-annual membership meeting in Harrisburg, the 17 state queens and National Hereford Queen Brooke Jensen introduced themselves and talked about Hereford cattle or an agricultural fact about their respective states. A special treat for the queens was a luncheon at the Pennsylvania Governor’s Mansion. State queens participating in the week’s festivities included: Abby Anderik, Dayton, Iowa; Lydia Richardson, Brandenburg, Ky.; Bailey McKay, Marysville, Kan.; Kagney Collins, Flanagan, Ill.; Shelby Zink, Oxford, Ind.; Jillian Adams, Springfield, Ohio; Brooke Cameron, Kingfisher, Okla; Caroline Debnam, Gaithersburg, Md.; Anna Roth, Altenberg, Mo.; Emma Penzenstadler, Chisago City, Minn.; Katie Nolles, Bassett, Neb.; Courtney Eudy, Harrisburg, N.C.; Jordan Spindle, Moriarty, N.M.; Paige Ando, Houghton, N.Y.; Jena McCall, Emory, Texas; Hannah Schneider, Aquilla, Texas; Jaymee Graves, Oak Harbor, Wash.; and Briana Katzenberger, Monroe, Wis. “The state queens and National Queen made quite an impression as they led in classes and handed out awards and ribbons,” Priefert says.

Princess tea A party fit for a princess is now a much-anticipated event during the JNHE. The 2014 princess tea welcomed 67 princesses, ages 8 to 14,

along with the state queens and the national queen. “Excitement filled the air as the girls made tiaras, ate princess cupcakes and played games with the queens,” says Suzanne Matheny, queen co-chairman. “Friendships were formed and dreams of being national queen someday made this afternoon very special for each young lady in attendance.” Check out NHW’s Facebook page for JNHE Hereford royalty photos.

Queen sponsorship program The eagerly awaited annual princess tea is one of the important programs sponsored by NHW’s National Hereford Queen program, according to Matheny. “Programs like the tea and the National Queen’s travel stipend are paid from the program,” Matheny says. “We always welcome sponsorships, which are available at various levels, and contributions to the queen program’s general fund. Contributions can be sent to NHW Treasurer Beth Blinson, Buies Creek, N.C.”

NHW social kickoff The first annual NHW “Come as You Are” social was a big hit. The social is designed as an informal networking opportunity to share laughs and conversations and to meet new Hereford friends. “Attendees had the chance to talk with the state queens,” Priefert says. “We also had a limited-edition, signed and numbered print of ‘Reflections’ that was auctioned off with proceeds going to support the national queen and youth programs. A special thanks goes to Steve and Jill Folkman of C&L Hereford Ranch, Ixonia, Wis., for being the winning bidder.” You can purchase your own limited editions of NHW prints by contacting Alise Nolan at theranchkitchen@aol.com.

ereford youth congregated in Springdale, Ark., for the second annual Faces of Leadership Convention July 27-30. Paired with the American Junior Maine-Anjou Association (AJMAA) and the American Junior Shorthorn Association (AJSA), National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members had the opportunity to visit the University of Arkansas (U of A),

Fayetteville, Ark.; Tyson Foods Inc. Discovery Center, Springdale, Ark.; and Crystal Bridges Museum, Bentonville, Ark., as well as Bacon Cattle and Sheep, Siloam Springs, Ark., and Willow Springs Cattle Co., Prairie Grove, Ark. The Faces of Leadership Convention combined the NJHA’s Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention, the

AJMAA’s National Youth Leadership Convention (NYLC) and the AJSA’s Knowledge Empowers Youth (KEY) Convention to provide juniors in all three breeds the opportunity to network and to establish friendships with juniors in other breeds. This year 66 NJHA, 12 AJMAA and 15 AJSA youth from 22 states decided to enhance their leadership skills and knowledge at the Faces of Leadership Convention. Hereford.org

Faith Bomstad, Siloam Springs, Ark., leads her group through an exercise in communication to get all the seated members of the group standing.

During a workshop about teamwork and communication, sisters Kendi and Seely Sayre, Arenzville, Ill., try to build a card tower. The cards had important leadership traits written on them.

“We see a different aspect when we pair with other breeds and we get to interact with their youth in a different way than we would in a showring,” says Jace Prough, an NJHA member from Altus, Okla. One benefit of PRIDE is that it allows juniors to interact with one another away from the competitive arenas that are essential at shows. Juniors meet and build lifelong friendships while at PRIDE while also learning to be better leaders and build knowledge and skills to benefit their breed and industry. “Past PRIDEs that I’ve attended have been so much fun and I loved the friends that I met,” says Keayla Harr, Jeromesville, Ohio. “It’s a great way to get to know new people and get your thoughts and opinions out there. It’s a great opportunity to make yourself known and heard in the Hereford breed.” The event kicked off with a presentation from former National FFA President Levy Randolph, Hemet, Calif., and former National FFA Eastern Region Vice President Tiffany Rogers, Niles, Mich., who spoke to juniors about the importance of teamwork and communication. Through a series of activities, juniors worked on verbal and nonverbal communication. “Once you’ve established a relationship with someone, you can communicate more effectively,” Levy says. “However, when we’re communicating with someone we don’t have that relationship with, we have to be more clear and work to help them understand us.” Krista Cupp, Tyson’s customer relations specialist, encouraged juniors to share their agriculture stories via social media. Krista explained to attendees that because less that 2% of America is directly involved with agriculture, farmers and ranchers must Hereford.org

work harder now than ever to show urban consumers the importance and benefits of agriculture. Juniors then traveled to the Bacon ranch for an evening of cattle and yard games. With both sheep and Herefords, including World Hereford Conference grand champion polled Hereford bull, Remitall-West Game Day ET 74Y, the Bacons shared their operation with Hereford, Shorthorn and Maine-Anjou youth. “I like going to farm tours because you get to see how other people work their cattle and what continued on page 26...

Attendees were able to tour the research and development plant and to see the

production side of the beef industry, as well as to learn about available internships that Tyson offers. Craig Bacon, Tyson’s senior vice president of corporate research and development, explained Tyson’s morals and company standards and how its commitment to family and integrity makes it a strong company. He challenged juniors to develop

their own mission statement and tenants for their associations. “I really enjoyed Tyson Foods,” says Jena McCall, Emory, Texas. “I like facts and numbers so I felt like I learned a lot while we were visiting Tyson about the production side of our industry. I learned a lot about our industry overall throughout this trip. There’s more to it than I thought, personally. I’m taking away a lot more facts and new information than I expected.” Youth then traveled to the Crystal Bridges Museum, an art museum renowned for its ability to partner nature, architecture and different types of art for a truly beautiful experience. They also had the opportunity to visit the original Wal-Mart store and museum. Juniors finished their day in Branson, Mo., aboard the Showboat Branson Belle, where they were entertained by musicians and a comedian plus participated in the annual PRIDE dance. The Faces of Leadership started again Tuesday, bright and early, at the U of A. Home to the only agricultural law program in the country, the U of A is a partner to the National Agricultural Law Center (NALC), Fayetteville, Ark. Representatives from NALC spoke to the youth about policies that could potentially hurt or help the future of agriculture and the information that the NALC provides to help farmers and ranchers be more informed about their rights and the laws that affect them. Juniors spoke passionately about their concerns regarding right-to-farm laws and water rights and other issues that are affecting agriculture across the nation. Attendees also participated in workshops about advocacy and leadership while at the U of A. After being split into groups, juniors

Queen for a Year, Memories for a Lifetime Past National Hereford Queens reflect on their experiences and why they continue to be involved with Herefords. by Bridget Beran

Suzanne (Boyd) Matheny served as the National Polled Hereford Queen in 1988.

ince 1975 every national Hereford show has been graced by the presence of a national queen. Decked out in white from her banner to her boots, she serves as an advocate for the Hereford breed and an example for little girls throughout the barn. But at the end of the year, she takes off her crown and rejoins the rest of the world. Then what happens? Well, like these three former National

Jennifer (Dorrell) Gatz served as National Polled Hereford Queen in 1992.

Polled Hereford Queens, she becomes an involved member of the National Hereford Women (NHW) and oftentimes an involved mother, raising her children with the same passion for the Hereford breed as she had all those years ago. For Suzanne (Boyd) Matheny, Mays Lick, Ky., raising her children in the Hereford breed was a no-brainer. After serving both as the 1988 National Polled Hereford Queen and on the

Heather (Hicks) Birdsall served as National Polled Hereford Queen in 1996.

National Junior Polled Hereford Council, she knew she wanted her kids to have the same opportunities and experiences she had. “It was a wonderful experience that I’ll always cherish,” Suzanne says. “It allowed me to travel to many different places and meet new people and form lasting relationships that I still have today. It was a great experience to be an ambassador for the polled Hereford breed at the time.” Hereford.org

In 2009, following the merger of the American Hereford Women (AHW) and the National Organization of Poll-ettes (NOP), the National Polled Hereford Queen came to represent both sides of the breed as the National Hereford Queen. The crowning of the new national queen was moved from the National Western Stock Show to the American Royal in congruence with the annual meetings for the American Hereford Association (AHA) and the newly formed NHW. While there have been some changes to the queen program, including the addition of the princess tea and a service project which is led by the National Hereford Queen at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), the national queen still dons her white outfit and serves as an ambassador for the Hereford breed. Serving as National Hereford Queen allows one young woman to attend each national show, criss-crossing the country from Harrisburg, Pa., to Reno, Nev. Heather (Hicks) Birdsall, Homer, N.Y., says that growing up going to the former Junior National Polled Hereford Show and Forum and seeing the National Polled Hereford Queen each year made her want to run for the position. “It was every little girl’s dream. It was something I’d wanted to do from a very young age and being able to achieve that dream was an incredible opportunity,” Heather says. She served as National Polled Hereford Queen in 1996 and has continued the family tradition of showing Herefords with her son, Sam, 9, attending his third JNHE in Harrisburg. Daughter Sarah, 7, looks forward to entering the ring next year as an official junior member. Heather says she loves the addition of the princess tea at JNHE, an event where young girls get the opportunity to spend time with state and national Hereford queens. “Sarah was so excited for the princess tea,” Heather says. “I think it’s a great way to get state Hereford.org

queens more involved than just the showring and things like that help get those younger girls involved and excited about being a queen one day.” Suzanne, who currently serves on the NHW board of directors, also praises the princess tea because it allows queens to serve as mentors for young girls. She says the sparkle in a young girl’s eyes when she gets the chance to interact with a queen is one of the things that make being a queen so special. Jennifer (Dorrell) Gatz, Leona, Kan., says she sees that same sparkle in her little girls, Lauren and McKenna. Jennifer calls serving as the 1992 National Polled Hereford Queen a tremendous honor. Running for queen was important to her because she wanted to give back to the association that had given her so many wonderful experiences throughout her childhood. Being queen also gave her incredible opportunities and taught her important lessons. “Serving as queen allowed me to represent the breed that I loved and serve as an ambassador for the Hereford breed and the beef industry,” Jennifer explains. “I was also able to be a role model for the younger junior members. It allowed me to continue to develop communication and leadership skills. I loved having the opportunity to travel, meet new people and see so many different Hereford operations.”

Passing the torch All of these women are driven by a love that they possess for the Hereford breed. Since their times as queen, they’ve passed that love on to their children. Suzanne, Heather and Jennifer all say they made it a point to take their children to JNHEs and to continued on page 36...

encourage them to be involved, in and out of the showring. “Because I was so active during my junior years, I grew up with the passion for the Hereford breed. That’s the way I wanted my own children to grow up,” Suzanne says. Her son, Austin, and daughter, Taylor Belle, compete in the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) grill-off, illustrated speech and judging contests. Taylor Belle, 16, plans to run for Kentucky Hereford Queen as well as National Hereford Queen in the future. For Heather, her kids wouldn’t even be here if not for Herefords. She met her husband, Dennis, while they were both serving on the National Junior Polled Hereford Council. They started their Hereford herd after they got married and once Sam was old enough, they started attending JNHEs. “Our kids have been raised with Herefords since day one. We’ve made JNHE a family event and it’s something that they now look forward to every year. We wanted our kids to have the same experiences as we did,” Heather says. For each of these families, they say that JNHE is their version of a family vacation. Jennifer returned to JNHE once her son, Jordan, was old enough and says the first time was like taking a walk down memory lane. Seeing friends from her time as queen and now watching her children build new friendships and build lifetime skills are major highlights of attending JNHEs. “The JNHE has been the highlight of our summer for the past five summers and we look forward to continuing this tradition as a family for years to come,” Jennifer says. She encourages

her children to be involved in all aspects of the JNHE including 3-on-3 basketball, illustrated speech, judging, Hereford idol, photography, poster and the CHB grill-off. “Although the show is the main reason to attend the JNHE I think it is also important for juniors to take advantage of all the other opportunities to get involved at the JNHE,” Jennifer says. She hopes one day Lauren and McKenna will follow in her footsteps and serve as Kansas Hereford Queen and run for National Hereford Queen.

A tradition of leadership For the past 40 years, the National Hereford Queen has set an example of leadership and grace for young girls of all ages in the NJHA. These former queens say that it’s important that queens work to tell the story of the Hereford breed, especially during their term as National Hereford Queen. Suzanne, Heather and Jennifer agree that running for national queen was important because it provided them with another opportunity to be a junior leader and an ambassador for the Hereford breed. “You really have to work for it and it has to be something that you really want to do and have that passion and love for the breed of cattle and the people,” Suzanne explains. Whether it’s handing out awards, walking classes into the showring or being interviewed for a local paper at a show, serving as a queen provides an excellent opportunity to be a representative for Herefords. “Queens are ambassadors for the breed and can help tell the story of the cattle industry and more specifically the Hereford breed,” Jennifer says. “I think it is important to have as many voices as possible telling our story and the queen program is another avenue

that can be used to positively promote the Hereford breed.” While the queen program has a strong focus on advocacy and leadership, the friendships made in the queen courtyard at JNHE and across the country at various sales and shows are part of what makes the experience special. Heather says that between herself, her husband and her children, they know people from New York to California and everywhere in between and these relationships wouldn’t have been possible without the Hereford breed. “I hope future queens will build friendships and relationships that will last a lifetime,” Jennifer says. “The friendships and life lessons that are built through the program are invaluable. I think it is a great program and a great opportunity for the young ladies of the Hereford breed to take advantage of.” The long-standing tradition of national queens has brought many back to their roots with their children and relatives. “I think the queen program is important because of the tradition that it holds. Looking back over the years through the past queens you’ll see so many familiar names with children involved in the junior program today,” Jennifer says.

Queen support system From parents to queen coordinators to breeders, a queen needs all the backup she can get. Suzanne explains that while people may not think about it, being in the showring for 10 to 12 hours a day can take a lot out of a queen. Queens are always in the limelight, more than they want to be sometimes, she says. Because of the demands of being a queen, she encourages people to reach out to their state and national queens. “Encouragement is huge. Invite the national queen or your state queen to your sale, thank her at shows, show her that someone

Hereford.org

appreciates that she’s there,” Heather says. Attending sales across the country is one of the things that make being a queen so special. For the most part, queens must be invited to sales. The experiences past queens have from attending sales and shows are the memories they hold with them for years to come. “The people were what made this experience so special to me. Hereford breeders from across the country welcomed me at their sales and shows and made me feel like a part of their family,” Jennifer says. “I met so many people and learned so much during that year I served as queen. It is amazing to look back and reflect on the experience. There truly isn’t a better organization of people anywhere than the Hereford breeders.”

Breeders can now support the queen program through the “queen sponsorship program” (see sidebar). This program helps support travel and wardrobe for future National Hereford Queens through monetary donations. NHW hopes that this extra sponsorship will allow more women to pursue their dream of being National Hereford Queen. “I would love to see us get to a point where all the girls who are state queens want to run for national queen. I’d like to see that all these young women have the dream and the desire to run for national queen,” Suzanne says. “I hope that anyone who gets to walk in the white boots will hold that as the most precious opportunity out there.” HW

Queen sponsorship program The National Hereford Queen is required to travel to six national shows plus the Junior National Hereford Expo. For one year she dons white outfits, needing summer and winter appropriate wardrobes, as well as white boots. While the memories she will make are priceless, funding her journey can add up. To help ease the financial burden, the National Hereford Women (NHW) began the queen sponsorship program, which allows sponsors to donate at four different monetary levels. All donors receive a certificate of appreciation. Categories include all previously listed benefits as well as those listed below. Pearl $1-$500 Website recognition and banner recognition.

Ruby $501-$1,500 NHW meeting invitation and announcement at all major shows and sales.

Emerald $1,501-$2,999 NHW letter recognition and Hereford eNews mention.

Diamond $3,000 and up Mention in the Hereford World, special guest status in the “national Hereford courtyard” and an appreciation plaque.

Making the Move to Hereford Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches allows abused kids to find new hope in agriculture. by Bridget Beran

or abused and neglected children in the social work system, life can be uncertain and difficult to say the least. However, in 1976 the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Association sought to change the outlook for underprivileged youth by giving them a chance at growing up on a ranch. Originally designed just for boys, the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches had a strong start. The development committee chose a 528-acre spread of land near Batesville to begin a boys’ ranch. Just a year later in December 1977, the committee also approved a

/ September 2014

10-year lease on a girls’ ranch, according to Philip Ives, director of program services. From its humble start as two mobile homes on far less acres, the ranch has grown to three separate campuses that can house 40-80 children. Because the ranch would be beneficial to almost all children in the foster care system, the ranch closely examines each child, ages 6-17, who requests admission to ensure that the ranch will fully meet the child’s needs. According to Ives, children must be originally from Arkansas, have cognitive skills for routine tasks, without a history of violence or

serious criminal record, be able to attend public school and be willing to attend a church of their choice once a week. Recommended for the program by a guardian, the court or a specialist, a child must go through an interview process to determine if they are a good fit for the ranch. The ranch has provided a home to more than 1,400 Arkansas children. Ives says the ranch helps to teach children behavioral accountability, positive work ethic and how to find faith, both in themselves and others. Children live with house parents, as well as other children, and are given Hereford.org

daily chores in addition to their schoolwork. Each home can host up to nine children at a time. Around 30 staff members help to make this life-changing experience possible. From office staff to farm hands, these workers not only help keep things running, Ives says they play a huge role in the success of the children. “At times this can be tough but we have great donors and support across the state to keep our organization up and running for the children of Arkansas,” Ives says. While the ranch has always maintained a herd of 40 commercial cattle, under Ives’ direction, it will soon move to being home to a registered Hereford herd. Ives grew up raising and showing Hereford cattle and so when the ranch’s board of directors started considering a registered herd, he knew Hereford was the only way to go.

Children listen to Philip Ives explain how to safely work cattle in a small pen. During this lesson, Ives also taught the children how to judge cattle.

Why Hereford “The cattle we have dealt with for years have not been the easiest to work with. Hereford cattle are so laid back and easy going that I knew that the children could be more hands on,” Ives explains. Long term, Ives hopes Youth ranchers herd the cattle toward a corner gate to exit the working pen. to be able to build a bull market within the state and to eventually allow the children to show Herefords raised on the ranch. Currently, the ranch has its own 4-H club and some members have shown pigs at the county fair in recent years. But, staff members hope to be able to expand the kids’ showing experience into the state and national Hereford arenas. Ives says his experience showing Herefords in Arkansas and nationally is an experience he wants to share with the children — helping them to build their own Hereford friendships and memories. “I want the same for the children here at the ranch because continued on page 44...

A Sweet Family Tradition I

t’s never too late or too early to start a new family tradition, as 194 first-time exhibitors discovered at the the 2014 VitaFerm Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). July 5-12 was filled with showing, contest participation and new experiences. Hosted by Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Virginia and West Virginia, 610 juniors were welcomed to Harrisburg, Pa., from 36 different states. This was the farthest east the JNHE has ever been, and the location provided the opportunity for many new juniors from eastern states to attend the JNHE for the first time. New and experienced members alike were gathered for a week packed with cattle, contests and fun. Hereford youth exhibited 1,128 entries, including 553 polled owned females, 138 horned owned females, 244 bredand-owned females, 76 bred-and-owned bulls, 30 cow-calf pairs and 87 steers. Throughout the week, outstanding juniors were awarded nearly $25,000 in scholarships. They were also able to participate in 24 contests outside the showring. New to JNHE’s traditional contests was the individual sales competition. Juniors attempted to sell an animal, semen or embryos to a panel of judges with pedigree information, performance data and visual characteristics. One particularly sweet part of the 2014 JNHE was the “Sweet Meal Deal” ticket. Host states worked hard to ensure their hospitality was top-notch and their guests were well fed. Featuring traditional meals from the Northeast, the Sweet Meal Deal provided 13 meals for visiting families for just $50. The JNHE would not be possible without the incredible support from title sponsor Biozyme Inc., St. Joseph, Mo., as well as a multitude of corporate and breeder sponsors. Thank you to all the sponsors for your continued support of the JNHE. Whether this was a family’s first year or 50th year, juniors joined together as a Hereford family for “A Sweet Family Tradition.” On the pages that follow, check out the highlights from this year’s JNHE.

Hereford youth and their families arrived in Harrisburg on Saturday and Sunday. NJHA board candidates assisted throughout the week. It takes a small army to pull off an event like the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). Since 2012 a talented group of individuals has been selected each year to serve as JNHE ambassadors. Ambassadors help with everything from checking-in cattle and people to organizing contests, taking photos, updating social media and working in the show office. “I don’t know what we’d do without the ambassadors,” says Amy Cowan, AHA director of youth activities and foundation. “The ambassador program has been an awesome addition to the JNHE. I appreciate all their hard work and how well they work together and their enthusiasm for being here and helping us have a great event.” This year’s ambassador team included Andrea Paulson, Brookings, S.D.; Bailey Core, Pleasantville, Iowa; Caleigh Moyer, Lincoln, Ark.; and Chandler Steele, Midland, Mich.

Lessons Learned and Leadership Given This year’s retiring directors have served the NJHA with passion and dedication. by Bridget Beran

Retiring board members (l to r): Keysto Stotz, Krissi McCurdy, Courtney Tribble and Shelby Rogers.

ach year four individuals who have led the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) for three years step down and pass on their maroon jackets. Krissi McCurdy, Chatsworth, Ga.; Shelby Rogers, Hamilton, Texas; Keysto Stotz, Skiatook, Okla.; and Courtney Tribble, Puyallup, Wash., finished their terms on the NJHA board of directors July 11 during the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) awards night. “I’m really going to miss this group,” says Amy Cowan, American Hereford Association (AHA) director of youth activities and foundation. “They’ve been a great group to work with. They’ve had a lot of creative ideas and they take their job seriously as board members and have truly been a pleasure to work with the last three years. They’ve left the NJHA board in a great place and positioned it to move forward to great things.” While their time on the NJHA board of directors may be done, their Hereford involvement is far from over. The lessons they learned throughout their service will carry them through into the “real world.”

Krissi McCurdy The 21-year-old daughter of Donald and Kay McCurdy, Krissi followed in her brother Matt’s footsteps, showing

/ September 2014

Hereford cattle and running for the NJHA board of directors. Love for Hereford cattle is in her blood, and she says it was inevitable that she was going to step into the ring at least once. “When I did, I fell in love,” Krissi explains. “It was a great way to spend time with family and learn multiple life lessons throughout the years. I wouldn’t trade all that for anything.” Since her election to the board in 2011, Krissi says she has learned that it’s important to treat each person respectfully and to handle duties with a smile. “Krissi has been a tremendous asset to the NJHA board,” Amy says. “She has a big heart and really cares about representing not only her state of Georgia but the Southeast region.” A well-decorated junior, Krissi has served as president and secretary of the Georgia Junior Hereford Association. Throughout her 18 years as an NJHA member, Krissi has participated in 14 JNHEs, received the Golden Bull Achievement Award, been a state voting delegate twice and was named the outstanding state junior member in 2010. “She is so good when it comes to working with the younger members. She’s always reaching out to a younger 2014

member and lending a helping hand,” Amy explains. Described by her fellow boardies as their “little Georgia peach,” Krissi possesses a sweet disposition that kept her fellow board members upbeat. Shelby says their time on the board brought them together and she considers Krissi one of her best friends. “Krissi is a little ball of sunshine,” Keysto says. Krissi began her collegiate career at Butler Community College, El Dorado, Kan., where she was a member of the livestock judging team and graduated with an agriculture degree. She currently attends Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw, Ga., where she is pursuing an elementary education degree. “I want to teach at the elementary level and hopefully incorporate agriculture into their young lives,” Krissi explains. “They are our future and need to know what is going on around them.” Krissi also plans to maintain a Hereford herd and to remain involved in the industry. She hopes one day her own children will share her love of Herefords.

Shelby Rogers Retiring as the leadership chair, Shelby says past junior board members, especially Heather Thomas-Ritner, were vital in encouraging her to run for the NJHA board of directors. She says serving on the board was a dream of hers and she encourages other juniors to never give up on their dreams. “Shelby’s been awesome when it comes to helping plan and get ready for the PRIDE (Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel) Convention,” Amy says. “She’s a true leader and has a lot of energy and brings a lot of great ideas to the boardroom.” Shelby is the daughter of Keith and Cindy Rogers. This Texas native’s leadership began within the Texas Junior Polled Hereford Association, which she has been a member of for 14 years. During those years, she served Hereford.org

as president, vice president, second vice president and director. Nationally, she has attended 13 JNHEs and eight PRIDE Conventions. “I learned how to work well with others,” Shelby says about her time on the board. “We all come from different areas and different backgrounds and must work together for the betterment of the breed.” Outside the showring, Shelby, at 20 years old, is a junior at Oklahoma State University, dual-majoring in agricultural communications and animal science. She says, upon graduation she hopes to work in livestock marketing and social media management for producers. Shelby’s big personality made her fun to be around for her fellow board members. Krissi says she doesn’t think Shelby’s ever met a stranger while Courtney praises Shelby’s dedication to bettering the breed. “Shelby is the peanut butter to my jelly. I couldn’t do it without her. I’ve enjoyed spending my time on the board with her,” Keysto says. The owner of 55 registered Hereford cows, including two Dams of Distinction, Shelby got her start in Herefords because her mother had shown Hereford steers through 4-H when she was a child and wanted her children to have the same experience, so Shelby’s father purchased her first heifer.

Keysto Stotz For this retiring NJHA chairman, his start with Herefords began because his father worked on a Hereford ranch. Keysto began exhibiting Herefords at the age of 7 and has now been an NJHA member for 13 years. A former Junior Hereford Association of Oklahoma president, Keysto was instrumental in planning two PRIDE Conventions as well as revamping some of the JNHE contests such as Hereford Bowl and starting prepeewee showmanship. “I wanted to serve my fellow breeders and learn more about Hereford cattle and people,” Keysto says of his decision to run for the board. During his tenure Hereford.org

on the board, Keysto also served as the leadership chair. “Keysto has been an awesome leader. I’ve enjoyed working with him as chairman of the board this last year,” Amy says. The 21-year-old says that he learned a lot about patience, organization and networking throughout his time on the board. Amy says these lessons helped Keysto to be a great director and chairman for the board while his ability to insert fun into any situation made him enjoyable to work with and his tireless dedication helped lead the NJHA in the right direction. “Keysto definitely kept things entertaining. He’s serious when he has to be but a lot of fun to work with,” Amy adds. “He’s good at getting the most out of his board and making them work hard. He’s always asking what he can do to help and always kept the NJHA moving forward.” Nicknamed “DJ Sto,” his fellow board members say he’s the funniest member of the group. Courtney says Keysto is one of a kind and the guy to go to if you’re having a bad day. “Keysto and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. He’s kind of been like my older brother on the board. He’ll always crack jokes to make us laugh,” Shelby says. Keysto encourages juniors to take advantage of everything the Hereford junior program has to offer because of the benefits it will provide for life down the road. Keysto will be a senior this fall at the University of Tulsa, majoring in instrumental music education/pre-law. After graduation, he plans to attend graduate school and to continue to raise Herefords.

Courtney Tribble Courtney started her show career while she was still in diapers. Her big heart and dedication brought her to the board. The 23-year-old daughter of Rick Tribble and Denise Jagielo says she followed in her older sisters footsteps by entering the showring and being involved with the Washington State Junior Hereford Association (WSJHA). A Sweet Family Tradition

“I can count on Courtney for anything. She’s always jumped up and wanted to help, whether it be identifying photos at the backdrop in Reno or coming to Denver and helping us wherever we needed help,” Amy says. A leader from the beginning, Courtney served as president, treasurer, historian and director for WSJHA throughout her 15 years of membership before running for the NJHA board of directors. “I wanted to be more involved and give back to the association that had given me so much growing up,” Courtney says. “It is an opportunity that I could not pass up. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made.” Serving on a national board teaches directors a lot of lessons and this vice chairman was no exception. “Over the last three years, I have grown as a person. Being a part of such an outstanding board has taught me that communication is very important in whatever we are doing,” Courtney explains. “It has truly been the fastest three years of my life.” Courtney says she also learned how to build professional relationships along with getting to make connections and to have opportunities present themselves, even when she least expected them. “I really admire her dedication to being a board member and her passion for leadership,” Amy says. From giving advice to ironing shirts, Courtney is described by her fellow board members as “caring and dependable.” “She’s definitely the mother of the group. She takes care of us.” Krissi says. Shelby was a delegate when Courtney first ran for the board and says she always thought Courtney would be a great board member. “Getting to serve on the board with her has been awesome. We traveled to ‘The Harvest’ and the World Hereford Conference together and we’ve become very close through that,” Shelby says. While she currently works at Risk Placement Services, Courtney says she intends to go back to school to finish her bachelor’s degree.

That magic moment In 2011 these young leaders’ lives were changed forever the moment they received their maroon jackets. While they expected that there would be a lot of work, they say that the number of friends and connections they’ve made has made the experiences special. “It was really exciting and a dream come true,” Shelby says. “This has been my dream since second grade. I was always looking up to the directors and I can’t believe it’s already over.” For all of these juniors, their jackets have a special meaning and receiving them gave them not only an important title but also an important purpose. “It was emotional because I’d ran once already,” Courtney says. “Just that people gave me the chance to actually serve on the board was amazing. These last three years have been a tremendous opportunity. To get my jacket from Rossie (Blinson), who did an outstanding job on the board herself, was just something special.” Krissi adds with a laugh, “I was completely overwhelmed by the whole experience plus getting the maroon jacket was kind of crazy, especially because it was about 15 sizes too big.” While the experience may have been only a short part of their lives, they agree that it has shaped them in many ways — from allowing them the opportunity to see the country to becoming confident leaders. They have the utmost respect for the positions they’ve held. “It has meant the world to me. I’m so honored and humbled to have served on this board,” Keysto says.

Changes for the better Throughout their time on the board, Krissi, Shelby, Keysto and Courtney say they have developed both personally and professionally. Serving on the NJHA board provided them the opportunity to travel across the nation and to network with producers and consumers alike. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You get to do so much traveling; you get to go so many places and meet so many people in the industry. You learn so

/ September 2014

much, on a business level and a personal level,” Courtney says. They all agree the board has given them a long list of industry connections as well as a plethora of friends. “You instantly become like family with the people that are on the board with you,” Shelby says. Being on the board has changed these juniors, but they have worked to change the NJHA as well. The NJHA has seen many changes throughout the past three years, and several of those changes can be credited to the hard work of these four juniors. They understand that part of being on the board is always striving to better the association and to give juniors more opportunities to learn and to succeed. “We always tried to do what was best for the membership,” Keysto says. The addition of the JNHE ambassador program and co-hosting PRIDE Convention with other junior breed associations to form the Faces of Leadership Convention were just a few of the changes that were led by this group of board members. “We’re always working to improve junior nationals and the contests for the kids,” Courtney says. They had a passion to not only serve the NJHA but to lead it into the future by making changes that would help develop the association as a whole, as well as to benefit individual members. “That’s why we get on the board. We want to improve the breed and our junior program,” Krissi says.

Memories made A person can make a lot of memories in three years. From experiencing minor injuries at PRIDE to begging airport shuttle drivers for a late-night fast food run, Krissi, Shelby, Keysto and Courtney have had their share of humorous moments while on the board. Right after being elected to the board, Courtney and Shelby traveled to California for the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) fundraising event — “The Harvest.” Shelby says that getting to mingle with the adult members and HYFA 2014

— Retiring NJHA Board

supporters was a great experience. Later during their term, Shelby and Courtney also attended the World Hereford Conference in Canada. “Going to the World Hereford Conference was a great experience. It was incredible meeting all the people who were there. I became friends with a kid from New Zealand and a girl from Finland,” Shelby says. Keysto cites meeting actor John C. Reilly while in Michigan for PRIDE as one of his favorite board memories. However, they all agree that it wasn’t the big trips or special days that made their time on the board special but rather the times when they were all together. “It was the little things that made it an amazing experience,” Krissi says.

Bittersweet goodbyes As their time on the board came to a close, all of these retiring leaders agreed they had one word in mind: bittersweet. While they say they’re looking forward to a more relaxed schedule and being able to spend time with their cattle at shows again, they all agree that their time on the NJHA board will be deeply missed. “Life will be a lot more carefree but it’s going to be different. I’m not going to be able to come to junior nationals and have something to do. It’s changing my whole life,” Krissi says. For Krissi and Courtney, this year also marks their last year as juniors. However, while their junior careers may be over, they say they’re determined to stay involved in the Hereford breed. “It’s been a great three years. It’s been awesome and I’m sad it’s over. But at the same time, we all have to move on and there’s other things that I can still be a part of to be involved with the association,” Courtney says. Luckily for Keysto and Shelby, they have a year or two left in the NJHA. They say that while JNHE will be strange without their usually packed schedule, it will be nice to have some down time. “We will just see where the path called life takes us,” Courtney says. “One thing’s for sure, we’ll still be involved with Herefords.” HW Hereford.org

Driven by Passion

A fourth-generation Hereford breeder, Cody has played an active role in his family’s operation — BeckPowell Polled Herefords. He is pictured here with his parents, Andy and Betsy, and his grandparents, Gene and Alice Beck.

hen one of the first words yousay as a child is “bull,” you know you’re destined to be a cattleman. For Cody Beck, Bainbridge, Ind., there was never any doubt that Herefords were going to be his life. However his passion, discipline and responsibility are what earned him the respect of his peers. This respect led to him being recognized as the Herdsman of the Year at the 2014 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). Cody says Hereford.org

A Sweet Family Tradition

watching his mentors and role models and then developing his own style have helped him get where he is today. His parents, Andy and Betsy Beck, say the best way to get him to stop crying as a baby was when his dad read the Hereford World to him. This fourth-generation breeder says that while he may not have had a choice of breed, he wouldn’t have chosen differently anyway. “I’ve always loved Hereford cattle,” Cody says. “Not only because Herefords are good cattle but because of the people in this industry as well. The Hereford people are my extended family.” An active member of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and the Indiana Junior Hereford Association (IJHA) since 2000, Cody has served as a director for the IJHA for five years, including two years as president. He also served on the committee for the JNHE when it was in Indianapolis in 2010. Throughout his years as a junior, Cody has exhibited cattle and participated in contests at every Indiana preview show and JNHE. All those years have added up to a lot of success. He says one of his proudest accomplishments in the showring was exhibiting the 2010 JNHE reserve grand champion bred-and-owned female, as well as being a top 10 senior showman at the 2011 and 2013 JNHE. Cody also won reserve grand champion horned female at this year’s JNHE. And this JNHE isn’t the first time he’s been recognized by his peers for his hard work. Cody was also named Indiana’s outstanding state member at the 2011 JNHE. However, he says all the awards don’t mean as much as the people he’s met along the way.

Friends, family, mentors “I met my best friends — Brady and Cody Jensen — at my first junior nationals,” Cody says. He and the Jensen cousins went on to be roommates and livestock judging teammates while at Butler Community College (BCC), El Dorado, Kan. He also says his junior experience wouldn’t

be complete without the Van Horn brothers — Burk, Cole and Jae — from Franklin, Ind., as well as Ky Stierwalt, Leedey, Okla. “When I think of Cody Beck, I think of a first-class friend that lives and breathes the Hereford breed,” says Brady, who was the 2012 herdsman of the year recipient. “Cody’s passion for the Hereford breed has been instilled by his parents and grandparents who have been longtime Hereford enthusiasts. Cody sets the bar high for his show cattle every year and he possesses the drive, work ethic, and talent that led him to being awarded with the junior herdsman award.” Cody Jensen agrees, saying that Cody’s long-standing passion for Hereford cattle always shows through. “He has put a lot of time into this industry and you can tell he has gained a lot of knowledge from it. We have had a lot of success helping and fitting for families, but there is nothing more that I enjoy than getting cattle ready with one of my best friends,” Cody Jensen says. With a long list of mentors, Cody Beck says his success as a junior wouldn’t have been the same without the guidance of his parents; grandparents, Gene and Alice Beck, Bainbridge, Ind.; Bruce Everhart, Waldron, Ind.; Kevin and Sheila Jensen, Courtland, Kan.; Colt and John Keffer, Crawfordsville, Ind.; Dylan Koepke, Onida, S.D.; Eddie Sandberg, Courtland, Kan.; Jason Hoffman, Thedford, Neb..; Shane Werk, Herman, Minn.; and Chris Mullinix, Manhattan, Kan. Chris, Cody’s livestock judging coach during his time at BCC, says that he could not be more proud of having coached Cody, but even more so Chris is excited to be able to call Cody a friend for life.

Cody met his two best friends — Cody and Brady Jensen — at his first junior national in 2000.

“When I consider the criteria expected of our breed’s Herdsman of the Year, I think of a young person who is dedicated to the breed and in-herd improvement, one who understands genetics and management and one who has the ability to prepare and exhibit cattle in a way that can truly showcase their breeding program. I can’t imagine a young 2014

person who defines that image more than Cody Beck,” Chris says. “Cody’s dedication to simply learning more about the industry he loves made him a pleasure to coach. But more importantly, he’s the kind of friend we all hope to have in our lives. Always there for you, no questions asked. He knows just how to make you feel good when things are tough and yet knows you well enough to bring you down to earth when you’re too high on your accomplishments. You have a mutual respect and an unspoken bond. That’s what makes Cody Beck so special. “Obviously, this is a well-deserved honor. However, as Cody closes his junior involvement another door opens. I have no doubt Cody Beck will continue to have a powerful impact on the Hereford breed —as a great cattleman, leader and friend to us all.”

Important lessons Cody says it’s very beneficial as a junior to find people who can be looked up to and to watch them. Even now, he says he still watches his mentors closely and knows that there’s always a new lesson he can learn. One important lesson Cody learned from his parents was the power of a positive attitude. “When I first started showing cattle, my parents would always tell me, ‘Don’t brag when you win and don’t pout when you lose.’ I follow that advice both inside and outside the showring,” Cody says. He encourages juniors to always try to keep a good attitude and to have fun in life. Still, this young leader knows nothing gets done without hard work. “Responsibility is something everyone needs to be successful,” Cody explains. “You have to be disciplined and get your work done no matter what anyone else does. Cattle and responsibilities are a part of a livestock kid’s life.” Being responsible is something Cody knows a lot about. When he’s home from Oklahoma State University,

Hereford.org

where he’s pursuing a degree in animal science, Cody is busy helping his father and grandfather take care of the cow herd and working on both the sale and show cattle. While he says his main responsibilities are rinsing, clipping, helping work cows and checking cows, Cody says their farm is truly a family affair. “We all work together to get done what needs to be done,” Cody says.

Honor beyond measure

such a high honor,” Cody says. “After watching people that I look up to for so many years and trying to emulate what they do with my own style, it’s a true honor to achieve this goal.” While this year marks his 15th JNHE and his last year in the NJHA, Cody says he intends to stay in the Hereford business for the long haul. “After Oklahoma State I intend on finding a steady career in the cattle industry and continuing to raise and market my own cattle along the way,” Cody says.

Achieving Her Goal

Champion senior showman Sara Beanblossom has found that success in the showring takes hard work, patience and dedication. by Andrea Paulson

he senior showmanship contest is one of the toughest competitions during the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) every year. Hereford seniors — ages 18 to 21 — from across the nation vie for an opportunity to compete in the final round, which evaluates the contestants’ fitting and

showmanship abilities to determine the winner of this prestigious title. This year’s winner, Sara Beanblossom, Bradford, Ohio, traveled to the 2014 JNHE in Harrisburg, Pa., with a goal of making the top 10 finals in showmanship and the dream of winning the title of champion senior showman. Sara has worked hard over the years and possessed a strong desire to achieve her goal of winning the JNHE showmanship contest. In previous years, she has made the semi-finals but never the cut for the top 10. This shortcoming motivated her to push herself even further toward accomplishing her dream of obtaining the title of champion senior showman. Sara is currently a sophomore at Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio, During the finals of senior showmanship, Sara was evaluated on her showing and fitting abilities. majoring in business. The

location of Wright State allows her to live at home and work while she commutes to school. Her future goals are to graduate from college and to work for an animal health company close to home. “Work hard, work really, really hard,” Sara says when asked what advice she has to give younger showmen. When she was younger, she was happy to not be standing at the bottom of the class. It is certainly safe to say that she has come a long way since those first years. During her first year of junior showmanship, Sara told her mom that she was going to win showmanship someday, and she couldn’t be happier now that she has achieved that dream through hard work and dedication. Sara has confidence that spending time with her heifer from the very beginning helped her reach the top this year. A close relationship between the animal and herself is what Sara feels really helped give her an edge during the competition. The strong desire she had to win this year is what Sara feels really carried her through to the final selection. In the past, she stated, her nervousness during such competitions has showed in the showring. This year she devoted even more effort toward outshowing her anxiety and staying calm while presenting her animal. She worked to relax and to maintain a calm demeanor while in the showring. She was surprised when people asked how she stayed so relaxed — because she wasn’t and is still not certain how she came off that way. She says the placing of the top 10 finalists was the most nerve-wracking moments throughout the competition. Sara’s initial goal was to make the top 10 this year and her excitement and nervousness grew as the judges individually recognized the top 10 from 10th to first.

For the love of it When asked why she shows cattle, Sara quickly answered, “Because I love it! Showing has helped me learn how to work with my family by helping my sisters when I was younger, and growing Hereford.org

up in the industry and developing my own passion for cattle has helped me grow as a person as well.” Her favorite part of the Hereford breed is the family that comes with it. She is pleased to see the changes and improvements that have been made in recent years and looks forward to watching the breed continue to grow and to improve. She encourages people to really take note of the quality animals presented at JNHE and the improvement the Hereford breed has seen through the years. She is proud of how little time it has taken to get in step with the recent advancements within the cattle industry. The family aspect of JNHE is another thing she loves and appreciates. The friendliness amongst competitors and the willingness to help pick each other up with a smile, handshake or a hug is something she looks forward to every year. Seeing how other breeds interact makes her even more grateful for how the Hereford breeders support one another.

Family and friends Each year, she says she looks forward to seeing friends and family and anticipates the experience of entering the showring. Her love for the competition and the adrenaline rush that comes with showing and being selected for the championship are what motivate her to continue exhibiting. Working her way up from the bottom of the class has been a very rewarding journey. “Although my dad isn’t able to make it to many shows anymore, I would never be the showman I am today without his words of advice and encouragement always waiting for me outside the ring,” she says. Hereford.org

Sara explains that one of the most influential people who has been with her from the very beginning is her mom — Leesa — who has always been willing to take her to cattle shows and has never told Sara she couldn’t do something. “My mother and father are by far the strongest people I know and I’m so lucky to have them as parents,” she says. Leesa says she is overjoyed for Sara and glad to be able to share in her enjoyment of being selected. “Watching Sara’s dream come true was very fun to see ringside,” she says. “I am overjoyed that Sara’s hard work at home and in the showring over the years has paid off.” According to Leesa, their family operation would not be as successful as it is without Sara’s hard work, as she has stepped up and become an integral part of the farm. There’s no doubt Sara’s passion, hard work and dedication have been key influences in her success. HW

One of the most influential people in Sara’s life has been her mom, Leesa, who has hauled Sara and her sisters to cattle shows across the country for many years.

Advice from the champion • Do your own work – Working with their animals

allows juniors to become comfortable with them as well as to learn responsibility. When you are able to feel the partnership between the showman and the animal, it really makes the show experience.

• Do it with passion – Anybody can go through the

motions. When you put in the time and passion toward your goal, you appreciate your success even more and see results.

• Don’t believe everything people tell you – There

have been many people along the way who said that I wouldn’t succeed and I couldn’t accomplish such a feat as champion senior showmen, yet here I am. Don’t listen to their comments, and reach toward achieving your goals.

• Don’t expect everything at once – Success takes

time, and you need to be patient. I’ve never been able to reach this point before, and numerous other people have dreams of achieving top 10 and champion senior showman but haven’t yet. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see success right away, and don’t let one year get you down. Keep trying.

• Work hard again – A hard work ethic and love will take you a long way. Your project and your work equal your success.

to listen to the juniors and help guide them, not to control them. “The first year we were junior advisors, we asked the Indiana junior board officers what they expected from us. Their answer was, ‘We want you to advise us, be supportive of our decisions, make sure you’ve got our back, and don’t take control.’ That is the advice we have followed,” Betsy says. Andy and Betsy say that working with the IJHA board is one of the things they love most about serving as advisors. “Sometimes our junior board meetings can get long and drawn out,” Betsy says. “So, we always try to make sure everyone is interacting with each other, working together as a team to make the best decisions for our state association, but most of all, to have fun.” Service is nothing new to the Becks. As far as Herford involvement, Andy is a past board member and president of the Indiana Hereford

Association. Betsy has served as a past board member and chairman for the National Organization of Poll-ettes (NOP), as well as having served on several scholarship committees, as National Polled Hereford Queen chairman and on the strategic planning committee during the merger of the NOP and the American Hereford Women (AHW). A past president of the Indiana Hereford Women, she currently serves as its treasurer. Committed members of their community, the Becks say they are also supporters of their local 4-H program and FFA chapter. Andy also served on their local school board and as the livestock judging team coach. HW

The Beck family had a memorable JNHE. In addition to Andy and Betsy being named Advisors of the Year, their son, Cody, was chosen Herdsman of the Year and exhibited the reserve grand champion horned owned female.

Lending a Helping Hoof Hereford juniors strive to make a difference for Ronald McDonald House Charities. by Bridget Beran

2013-14 National Hereford Queen Brooke Jensen chose Ronald McDonald House Charities for the Helping Hooves service project during the JNHE.

ach year when National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) youth gather to participate in contests inside and outside the showring during the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), they also come together to do something to benefit others. Started in 2012 by then National Hereford Queen Amanda Bacon, Helping Hooves is a service project that is led each year by the National Hereford Queen. This year, National Hereford Queen Brooke Jensen, Courtland, Kan., chose to collect pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). “Each year our National Hereford Queen chooses a community service project that they feel will benefit others in a profound way,” says Alise Nolan, National Hereford Women (NHW) president-elect. “Brooke’s decision to do the pop tabs for the RMHC will bring much-needed media attention and hopefully give other organizations this great service opportunity idea.” Ronald McDonald Houses collect pop tabs instead of entire aluminum cans because it’s more hygienic to store tabs than cans, and collection and storage is easier. According to the RMHC website, the program is an easy way for people of all ages to support RMHC and know they are making a difference for families and children. For the past two years, Amanda asked juniors to collect toiletry items from hotels that they visited throughout the year. In the first year alone,

Hereford youth participating in the JNHE mentor program collected pop tabs throughout the week to assist with the service project. Pictured here, mentor Mason Blinson, Buies Creek, N.C., and protégé Emily Adkerson, Starkville, Miss., are decorating their collection bowl to use throughout the week.

More than 78 lb. of pop tabs were collected.

/ September 2014

Hereford youth donated more than 1,100 items to Hope Harbor homeless shelter in the host city, Grand Island, Neb. The following year, youth were able to collect 2,424 items to donate to Hope House of Kansas City, Mo. “We need to remember how lucky we are, as NJHA members, to be involved in this industry when a lot of people don’t even have the basics,” Amanda says. With 610 juniors and their families in attendance at the JNHE, this year’s project also had excellent results. Throughout the week, juniors were able to collect more than 78 lb. of pop tabs. “The turnout this year was fantastic! The Ronald McDonald House Charities is a great program and I hope this will inspire people to continue to support the program outside of Helping Hooves throughout the year,” Brooke says. Brooke chose to partner with the NJHA mentoring program. Mentors and their protégés decorated small tubs for collecting pop tabs throughout the week. “I’m excited about this project because of the cause it stands for, helping families afford to be near their loved ones while he or she is being cared for medically,” Brooke says. Brooke says she thinks this project was successful both because juniors want to make a difference and to help those less fortunate and because she knows first-hand how many cans of pop are drank and brought to a cattle show on a daily basis. When Amanda first began Helping Hooves, she hoped to set an example of service and to leave a lasting impression on juniors about how fortunate they are. She hopes this tradition of service will continue for years to come. HW

Continuing a

Legacy

Clemson University uses Trask genetics as a teaching and Extension herd for students and producers. by Danielle Beard Hayden

nique: The word Clemson University Animal Scientist Brian Bolt uses to describe both the infamous Trask genetics and the man who spent his life developing them.

Creating a legacy

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really think that is where the love affair with Hereford cattle began for him,â&#x20AC;? Bolt says. Trask began assembling his herd, envisioning a breed that could lift the fortune of a sinking cotton economy during the Great

Depression. Not only did he begin selecting cattle to thrive in the Piedmont/Foothills environment, but Trask began growing grass that would also thrive in the same climate to economically feed his cattle.

In 1931 Neil Trask, Beaufort, S.C., purchased an island off the coast of Beaufort, that was home to a few native cattle. Even though the Trask family business of vegetable farming was going strong, he decided to shift some focus to improving the genetics of his nativeisland cattle and purchased a few Hereford bulls.

The Clemson Hereford herd is providing a research and teaching platform for improving cattle genetics in South Carolina.

“From what I can tell he made his grass selection based on soil types,” Bolt explains. “This is where Mr. Trask’s story really begins.” According to Bolt, after being bitten hard by the cattle-loving bug, Trask put several thousand miles on his truck traveling to procure genetics to complement and to improve his own herd. In 1937 Trask made a trip to Kansas and other western states to purchase Mossy Plato-bred cattle as well as other bloodlines. Mossy Plato was a Kansas line from which Clemson had also obtained a bull. “We don’t know the exact story,” Bolt says. “We don’t know if Mr. Trask saw our bull or some of his progeny here before he went out and bought daughters, or if the timing was right, and we ended up with that bull about the same time he purchased his, but that is how Trask’s genetics were first introduced to the university in the mid-30s/early-40s.” In 1940 Trask purchased a large amount of land in Calhoun Falls, S.C., and moved the herd there.

Norris Fowler and Neil Trask

A long relationship “Both stories, the history of Trask genetics and Clemson’s tie with the brand, are intertwined,” Bolt explains. After the first encounters of genetics between the two in the ’30s-’40s, Clemson and Trask each “did their own thing.” Throughout several decades, Trask continued to improve his genetics until the ’90s, when his declining health prevented him from being as involved. For a number of years, Clemson continued its program, with nothing exceptionally notable, until the early 2000s, when due to budget cuts, the university was forced to disperse its cattle herd. Hereford.org

Brian Bolt, Clemson animal scientist, directs the development of the Hereford herd that traces its roots to the Trask cattle first bred in South Carolina during the Great Depression.

“It became almost the perfect storm for those (Trask) genetics to start coming up for sale and folks stepping in to rescue them,” Bolt states. “With us literally not having any Hereford cattle, one of our administrators stepped in and was able to access some of those last Trask females and so began our most recent history with those cattle.” One such man to step in to save the last of the Trask line was Steven Meadows, Clemson University associate dean for the Cooperative Extension Service. A Hereford enthusiast himself, Meadows knew Trask personally and saw the value in his genetics as well as the need to rebuild a grass-based Hereford herd at Clemson. Meadows love for the line began as a teenager after purchasing a pair of Hereford heifers from Fowken Farms in Jonesville, S.C., a line that intertwines with Trask, for a 4-H project. “Mr. Fowler (of Fowken Farms) and Mr. Trask were such great friends they were known to trade bulls, that’s why a lot of times you hear people refer to them as Fowler/Trask cattle,” Bolt says. Not alone in his mission to preserve the Trask line, Norris Fowler of Fowken Farms, Randy Owen of Tennessee River Music and Teddy Gentry of Bent Tree Cattle Co. provided four cows from the line to which Meadows harvested embryos in his beginning efforts of rebuilding the Clemson herd.

Unique Herefords “Everyone has their own take on the story, but personally, I think Mr.

Trask was a pretty interesting, driven individual, and the decisions he made were his own,” Bolt says. Trask didn’t seem to be influenced by many external factors when selecting genetic traits for his cattle. “He bred cattle that suited him,” he continued. “He was one of those people if you liked his cattle, that was great; if you didn’t, then he just didn’t care.” According to Bolt, Trask was somewhat of an alchemist when it came to his cattle. Trask’s road to finding what worked for him best involved using different genetics, which resulted in some variation throughout his herd. “If you study the pedigrees, it’s not as if that herd was locked down at some point in time with no external influences; he experimented and found what worked for him and what didn’t.” Trask’s emphasis on creating consistent, moderate-sized cattle that suited the environment, instead of continued on page 100...

market demand, was heavily reflected during the ’70s and ’80s. Compared to the average Hereford female of that time, his cattle weren’t as large framed, were generally thicker, and were a little less feminine and angular and, therefore, weren’t as high performing. Despite going against the grain, Trask developed a customer base that trusted him and his genetics. “There was pressure put on feet, there was pressure put on udders, pressure put on longevity, the things we collectively term ‘convenience traits’ today, are what drove his decisions then,” Bolt says. Some stories and folklore that surround Trask genetics stem from Trask’s quirky way of approaching his herd management. Bolt explains, Trask was known to stay in a hotel for a few days when deciding which bulls to turn out with which cows. “He had numbering systems that from the outside might seem confusing. One number was on the bull’s tag, a different number was wrote on the registration paper and then they called the bull something else. “For a first timer it might have been difficult to figure out exactly what was going on, but in my mind, that was kind of the Trask persona and Trask approach to it,” Bolt says.

Genetic benefits

“We take pretty seriously our job of propagating what we refer to as ‘pure Trask pedigrees’ which are still true to form.” — Brian Bolt heat tolerance and adaptation to the environment, I think, is what makes them so unique.”

Coming full circle Bolt, who directs the development of the Trask herd, was familiar with the lineage even before his days at Clemson. “My dad and granddad actually bought bulls from the Trask ranch for their Hereford farm over the years.” he adds. “So life coming full circle has been interesting for me.” After going away to college with the intention of coming back to his family’s farm, Bolt ended up back in the area for grad school. “I don’t know if it was serendipity or fate, but I started grad school at Clemson and 15 years later I’m on faculty,” he says. Bolt explains the university’s herd is managed by staff at the beef farm, but Meadows was looking for someone specific to coordinate the direction of the Trask herd. “I think it is just dumb luck that I happened to be standing there, but my area is beef cattle genetics, so I like to think there was some logical reason

somewhere on paper that I get to work with them,” he humbly credits.

Vision for the future Clemson stresses the importance of preserving the future of Trask genetics. While Trask cattle may not have all the components of a perfect package, the university wants the line to maintain its original mission — moderate, southeastern-conditioned, sound with convenience traits. “The industry has made a tremendous amount of progress, and there are a lot of good genetics,” Bolt says. “We see these cattle as being a component of that, but then again, not the complete answer. We take pretty seriously our job of propagating what we refer to as ‘pure Trask pedigrees’ which are still true to form.” In order to make sure Trask genetics are preserved, Clemson has intentionally outcrossed some of the pedigrees. “So that we have some benchmarks and we are not just operating the vacuum,” he explains. Clemson has also begun using its Trask cattle as a teaching and Extension tool, locking in the future need of the herd. “It’s a unique situation, and I think it has really been positive,” Bolt notes. “A systems approach is the teaching objective.” A systems approach, he explains, is teaching that there is no one part more important than the other. “You can be good in everything but one, and that one will be what gets you. We talk a lot about raising cattle in the classroom, it’s easy enough, but eventually they’ll need to go out and actually breed cattle.” According to Bolt, all of what has happened with the Trask cattle — especially saving the genetics — wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of several individuals. “We’re just lucky to be in the position we’re in, if not for a couple of years we might’ve completely lost those genetics. There are a whole lot of people who deserve credit for this.” HW

Trask cattle have traits selected for them to thrive in the hot southeastern U.S. environment. According to Bolt, this ability has its pros and cons. “A friend of mine refers to these cattle as ‘ingredient cattle,’” he says. “They’re often not the final package you are looking for, but they offer the pieces to correct these things.” These convenience traits added with heat tolerance and docile nature make Trask cattle easy to work with. Perhaps most important is their tolerance of fescue. “It’s a little hot and a little tough here in the summer. We don’t have the luxury of having a lot of high quality grass; we can grow a lot of grass, but that is not necessarily A typical Trask-bred female — one that will thrive in the southeastern U.S. good,” Bolt explains. “This
