Words from the

Editors

It’s been an interesting first half of 2020 to say the least. In January the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discovered the novel coronavirus in a patient on U.S. soil. The news to all of us was mostly disregarded at that initial report but would soon fill our televisions, radios, newspapers and social media for months to come. By the middle of March, President Donald J. Trump declared a national emergency to help handle the growing coronavirus outbreak. The virus has shattered our “normal” lives drastically including shutting down schools, wearing masks in public places and shifting the food supply chains in very drastic ways.

“

We are continually amazed by the positive stories that have come from the world pandemic we are still facing.

For the beef industry, our processing plants were hit hard with COVID-19 cases in the workers, causing shutdowns and fat cattle to remain in feedlots across North America. The hiccup to our supply chain caused plummeting fat cattle prices and extraordinarily high prices at the meat counter. Consumers were not eating out, and so the premium for Prime cattle was less of a demanded product, as Americans chose cheaper food sources in the grocery store.

”

The beef industry was very vulnerable, however, there have been so many lessons we have learned as an industry the last several months. We are continually amazed by the positive stories that have come from the world pandemic we are still facing. Close to home, we have Hereford breeders across the state maintaining and feeding out their own feeder calves. Many producers have reported these cattle are all spoken for in the fall, with many local abattoirs booking at least six months from now. The Junior National Hereford Expo has made drastic changes including a last minute location change to make certain the show will go on. With large entertainment events across the world prohibited, the U.S, and American Hereford Association has deemed agricultural events essential, with a spotlight on the youth of our industry. This year will likely look different even through Christmas until a vaccine is made available for the coronavirus. Look around you though; the positive stories are endless from the changes we have undergone. Creativity is prevailing. Love is well received in our communities. We are in this together. God bless you and your families, and may you stay healthy and well.

State Association

Update

Greetings Everyone! I hope this newsletter finds you all in good health and good spirits. 2020 has been a tough monster in so many ways. It has brought around a lot of change to society, in our lives from Amy Phillips how we do everyday Missouri Hereford Association common tasks to major President changes in our lives. I’m sure many are still busy in the hay fields at this time. I hope everyone has been blessed with plenty of grass and gets plenty put up for winter feed. There are those getting ready for the few shows and fairs that haven’t been cancelled due to the COVID-19 world pandemic. The Missouri Cattlemen’s Association (MCA) was able to have the MCA All-Breeds Junior Show, June 12-14. There were a lot of juniors out there working hard to give our breed a good showing. I saw a lot of Herefords, and the cattle looked good. Congratulations to all juniors on their hard work and time in promoting our breed.

By the time this issue reaches you, the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) should be getting ready to kick off in Kansas City. Kudos to the American Hereford Association for finding a new location on such a short time frame and for all the work and planning

that goes into the event. JNHE is such a great experience for our youth, and it would have been a shame for them to have missed it.

As of now, the Missouri State Fair is a go. I’m not sure how it’s going to look this year as to what it has been in the past with scheduling, vendors, etc., but it will happen. There have been improvements in the barns such as lighting and electrical upgrades, new paint, and NO MORE SAND! Switching gears, Mary Beth Ray and Jocelyn Washam, have been working hard on the 2020 MHA Field Day held by District 3. This year’s field day will have a different format. It will be a virtual field day conducted through Online Zoom presentations (I know many of you are asking what the heck is a Zoom meeting; I asked the same myself – oh the changes!). Watch for information on how to login to Zoom or follow our association Facebook page for video presentations to be uploaded throughout the field day week. I was told that it was easy, so I am sure we will be fine. There will be a lot of good information out there from the breeders in District 3 and their sponsors. There will also be activities such as speech and picture contests for the juniors. Be sure to join in!

State Association Update / Advertisement | July 2020

We will be having a Missouri Hereford Association board meeting in Springfield on Saturday, October 3, half an hour following the conclusion of the Journagan/MSU sale in the Darr building. We will also be taking interviews for the Missouri Hereford News editor for upcoming contract on Friday evening, October 2, between 7-8 p.m.............. Contact me for an appointment. The Missouri Opportunity Sale is not too far down the road either. Joe Rickabaugh has been working hard on screening cattle. Be sure to let him have some of your good ones! Those of you who have already had cattle selected, be sure to start prepping them now. Sooner is better than later. Also, be sure to keep track of entry and picture deadlines. Wrapping up, I would just like to say that we have such a great state association, and there are so many wonderful people involved in it. We are lucky to live in this great country and to be a part of this great breed. I would also like to send a ‘Thank You’ out to our service men and women, and encourage you all to show your support. Good luck and safe travels to the juniors heading for Kansas City! God Bless You and God Bless the USA!!!

is a single-marker test, parent verification is not possible on the assay developed at UNL, making it imperative parentage confirmation already be completed. For testing efficiency, UNL has requested only semen straws be submitted and samples be submitted through the AHA for batching and verification. To test herd bulls, breeders need to contact the AHA via phone or email with information on bulls they plan to submit. Semen straws must be shipped to the AHA. UNL will not be able to accept semen submission directly from breeders because this test is completed outside the scope of UNL’s regular diagnostic services in cooperation with research. Semen straws must be shipped thawed and with some form of protection with a frozen gel pack or a frozen water bottle to: American Hereford Association, Attn: Shane Bedwell, 11500 N Ambassador Dr., Suite 410, Kansas City, MO 64153. Place the cold pack inside a ziplocked or similar bag to prevent condensation from damaging the paperwork, samples and shipping containers. The AHA suggests first testing impacted pedigrees in order to help identify breaks in transmission down the pedigree, but all AI-permitted bulls with semen available may be submitted for testing. Breeders should expect typical turnaround time for genotyping when submitting for MD testing at this time. To aid in determining which bulls to test, breeders can utilize the potential defect carriers report generated through MyHerd, but understand this tool constantly updates. Therefore, the AHA recommends breeders run the report periodically over the next couple of months as pedigree relationships will be broken as more animals are tested and identified as either carriers or individuals free from the condition, which could implicate animals in other herds. Breeders can find animals that have been tested for MD at Herfnet.com. The AHA appreciates your cooperation with reporting cases of affected calves in order to identify this novel defect. Truly, it was a team effort between the breeders, UNL and the AHA staff in quickly addressing this genetic condition. Fortunately, with new technology and advancements, breeders can work around this defect to continue to breed carrier animals if they so choose, as opposed to totally culling affected genetic lines. The AHA will update the membership as more information becomes available on the commercial test at Neogen. We appreciate our strong membership and thank breeders in advance for their patience and cooperation.

AHA Update | July 2020

Identified carriers On June 5, the American Hereford Association (AHA) published 11 animals (below) that were identified as a carrier for Mandibulofacial Dysostosis (MD) and are directly involved in the cases submitted to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for research. These 11 animals have been identified on Herfnet.com as Mandibulofacial Dysostosis Carrier (MDC). Please note the list to the right was last updated June 5. If a suspect calf is presented, please alert the AHA or Dr. Steffen at the Nebraska Veterinary Diagnostic Center. Both parties can assist with proper diagnosis and parentage verification for this or any other abnormalities you may encounter. If you identify suspect calves in your herd, be alert for testing availability as screening at-risk animals in the breeding population is critical to prevent future losses.

Women Association

Update The Hereford Women of Missouri met June 13, 2020, at MCA All-Breeds Junior Show in Sedalia. We discussed the progress of the cookbook. It is in the process of being printed. We would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who contributed recipes to this fundraising project. Plans are underway to start selling them during the Missouri State Fair and the Missouri Hereford banquet and Missouri Opportunity sale in December. The Hereford Women of Missouri would like to wish all the juniors who are participating at the Junior National Hereford Expo in Kansas City good luck and safe travels! We will have a meeting during the Missouri State Fair and will elect new officers. Please watch our Facebook page for the date, location and time. Due to the uncertainty of the show schedule at the state fair, at this time it is hard to plan a meeting date and time. The Hereford Women are planning on serving

donuts on Sunday before the show like we have done in the past. We would like to offer a big “congratulations” to all the eighth grade, high school, and college graduates that have graduated this spring! We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Wishing everyone a fun and safe summer. It was nice to see so many Hereford families during the MCA All-Breeds Junior Show! Have a fun and safe Summer!

Tonya Bagnell, Hereford Women of Missouri Secretary

Let us begin the best time of the year – show time! During these difficult times, we’ve been reminded that being able to showcase our livestock is a special summer-time occasion. While not being able to finish out the school year as planned, it gave many of us more time to prepare our show animals for upcoming shows. We were able to do just that at the MCA show in Sedalia. Congratulations to all of our class, division, showmanship, and overall winners! Can’t wait to see everyone in Kansas City and let’s “Come Home to Herefords” not just in July, but every day.

There’s Always Something to be Thankful For

If there’s one positive thing living in a pandemic has brought to our family, it’s the chance to step back and reflect on life, evaluate how we spend our time every day and think about what’s really important. At our house it’s also given us more time to spend with our kids, the opportunity to eat more meals as a family and even conquer some of the projects we never have time for when life is running at “normal” speed. These past few months also have reminded us just how lucky we are to live on a farm where we have wide open spaces to “social distance” from the world around us and problems that come with it. As we go back to the normal routines of school, church, sports and everything that keeps our calendars busy, I want to offer a few thanks to the people who kept things going for our Missouri Junior Hereford Association (MJHA) members and their families while so much of our world was standing still. • • •

Thank you to the doctors, nurses and others who support our health care systems for your skills, bravery and efforts. We are proud to call many of you fellow Hereford breeders and friends. • Thank you to our government leaders at all levels who h08s have had to make difficult — and sometimes unpopular — decisions at a time when nobody knew what the right answer might even be. Thank you to the colleges, universities, school districts and teachers at every level that continued to educate our kids as best they could, and provide recognition in some way to those who reached milestones on their educational journey. Thank you to the 4-H leaders and FFA advisors who checked on our kids and their projects to make sure they were on track. Thank you to everyone who serves on a county fair board or

Thank you to the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association and its staff for their commitment to host the 2020 MCA All-Breeds Junior Cattle Show. Having that goal to work toward was more important than you’ll ever know to our MJHA members and their families. It gave us all something to look forward to at a time when we needed it the most. Thank you to the American Hereford Association and its staff for working tirelessly to relocate the 2020 Junior National Hereford Expo, providing an opportunity for our Hereford youth to gather this summer as a family. Thank you to Governor Mike Parson and our state fair staff for finding a way to hold a 2020 Missouri State Fair so we can showcase the hard work of our agricultural youth. And finally, thank you Hereford breeders, families and parents for continually investing in your kids’ livestock projects and encouraging them to go to the barn and get the work done, even when we didn’t know if they would have the opportunity to walk into a show ring this summer.

These past few months have been hard for everyone. We’ve all lost something in the face of this pandemic — a loved one, a job, a senior year, a dance recital, a baseball season — the list goes on and on. But one thing I hope this experience has brought you is a new perspective on what’s really important in your life, and that we ALWAYS have something to be thankful for.

Jeff and Susan Rhode, Missouri Junior Hereford Association Advisors

Junior Association Update | July 2020

THANK YOU!

A big thank you to the Missouri Hereford breeders that contributed to the purchase of Missouri Junior Hereford Association’s (MJHA) consignment Lot 36 for $3,550 at the 2019 Missouri Opportunity Sale. These breeders have generously donated the heifer back to the MJHA to continue producing calves that will be sold annually, raising funds for our organization.

Missouri State Fair Scholarships Awarded to 4-H and FFA Youth Missouri State Fair Director Mark Wolfe announced today that 27 youth, selected from Missouri 4-H and FFA State Fair exhibitors, will be awarded scholarships by the Missouri State Fair Youth in Agriculture (YIA) committee. These students are seeking higher education at a Missouri university/college.

Another big thank you to the Trent McMillen family at McMillen’s Toothacre Ranch, Walnut Grove, Mo., for taking this female home to be part of their herd to breed, calve and maintain her for the MJHA through her productive years.

“Supporting higher education for Missouri agriculture youth is a tradition we are proud to uphold year after year,” Wolfe said. “We are thankful for our supporters that come together to make these scholarships possible.”

Hereford breeders who donated to the purchase of the heifer include:

Scholarship applicants were evaluated in a variety of areas including Missouri State Fair participation, grade point average, community involvement and leadership roles. Since 1992, the YIA committee has awarded 675 scholarships totaling $729,000.

Abrakadabra Cattle Co., Columbia, MO Aufdenberg Polled Herefords, Jackson, MO Belzer Farms, Browning, MO Biglieni Farms, St. Louis, MO Bonebrake Herefords, Springfield, MO Bourbeuse Bend Herefords, Beaufort, MO Crutsinger Hereford Farm, Whitewater, MO Gregory Polled Herefords, Houstonia, MO High Prairie Farms, Fair Grove, MO Cody Lowderman, Macomb, IL McMillen’s Toothacre Ranch, Walnut Grove, MO Menzies Cattle Co.

The scholarships are funded through the generosity of Youth in Agriculture sponsors and buyers of the livestock sold during the annual Sale of Champions; the sponsors and buyers list is available online. A portion of each animal’s sale price is allocated to the scholarship program. Support of the scholarship program is also provided by Guesa Grandstand Concessions, Dairy Queen and Steak ‘n Shake of Sedalia; the Governor’s Ham Breakfast; the Missouri State Fair Foundation; Sydenstricker John Deere/ Sydenstricker Genetics; Walmart; Missouri Beef Cattleman magazine; and Casey’s General Stores. The youth chosen to receive $1,500 scholarships, sponsored by YIA supporters, included: • Morgan Crutsinger, Whitewater • Cade Shepherd, Mount Vernon

Another big thank you to the Gary Wood family, Civil Bend Herefords, in Maysville, Mo., for providing a home for Lot 36 and her mother for many years, as well as preparing her for and bringing her to the sale in Sedalia. We truly appreciate your years of support of the MJHA!

The YIA committee is comprised of volunteers from across the state who work throughout the year to raise funds for the annual Sale of Champions auction and scholarships. This year’s auction will be held Saturday, Aug. 22, in the Lowell Mohler Assembly Hall on the fairgrounds. The Missouri Department of Agriculture will broadcast the auction live at Facebook.com/MoAgriculture. Online bidding will also be available during the live auction provided by LiveAuctions.tv. The 118th annual Missouri State Fair, themed “Home is Here” will be held Aug. 13-23 in Sedalia. For more information about the year’s fair, visit www.mostatefair.com, follow the Missouri State Fair on Facebook and Twitter or call 1-800-422-FAIR (3247).

Plant-based

Dilemma

Story by Tay Miller, Rural Route Creations

Plant-based products have taken trend in large fast-food companies. Various wellknown companies have created plant-based â&#x20AC;&#x153;beyond meatâ&#x20AC;? products and have been marketing them as a healthy and environmentally friendly alternative; thus, many consumers believe they can help save the planet by eliminating beef product consumption. This trend sparks a new challenge for beef producers to establish the importance of their beef products. The latest plant-based product is plantbased meatballs. They are being advertised as growing on trees. Think about the mass amounts of children this messaging is leading astray. Some children may actually grow up to believe that this product grows like a plant. Plant-based alternatives also have a great effect on the dairy industry. Though alternatives to milk have been building in popularity

for years, the dairy industry is beginning to notice a stronger push towards consumers eliminating milk. A large coffee chain expressed their push for alternative milks such as almond, oat, rice, soy and coconut milk by creating only plant-based additions to their menu. The new drinks do not include dairy products. They only feature plant-based products. In fact, they place the plant-based product in the drink name. Another stress on both beef and dairy industries is actions made to reduce large corporations carbon footprint. These large corporations are aiming to reduce their carbon footprint, but they are doing it all wrong. This large coffee chain is pushing customers to exclude dairy for alternative plant-based milk to help cut their carbon footprint yet disregards the large drive through lineups at their coffee shops and the long trip of their overseas bean transportation. This same issue affects the beef industry as large

corporations are trying to cut their carbon footprint and putting the blame on these agriculture industries. In the coming months, the beef industry could very well end up in the same situation that the dairy industry is in. Large corporations could stop introducing new beef products and only introduce products with plant-based alternatives, or beyond beef could expand into more restaurants. As the agriculture industry is at a constant battle with consumers and believers of plantbased products, you may be wondering what you can do as a beef producer. Speak your truth about your industry, explain why and how you produce beef, and be an advocate for your industry through social media and word of mouth. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to us as producers to tell our story.

J.D. Gregory Memorial and Missouri State Fair Improvements

It is never easy to lose someone you love. At best, we can celebrate a life well lived, find comfort in having been loved by them, treasure our memories, and honor the impact they had on our lives. That’s exactly what the family and friends of J.D. Gregory did when he passed away last August. One way they chose to honor J.D. was by designating memorial gifts go to the Missouri State Fair (MSF) Foundation for improvements to the Hereford Barn. The MSF was an integral part of J.D.’s life. Through the generosity of family and friends, J.D.’s legacy will live on for future generations at the MSF. Funds from J.D.’s Memorial specifically paid for cleaning, repairs, and painting the Hereford barn #45. In addition, our MSF Foundation, through the generosity of our partners and members, is providing $75,000+ in electrical and lighting upgrades in the eight historic brick cattle barns (includes barn #45). This includes state of the art LED lighting. Over the next several months, electrical service will be upgraded from 200 amp to 400 amp! The fair staff partnered with us to provide the labor for most of the improvements. Also, the Foundation was a strong advocate for removing the sand from the cattle barns and presented the MSF Commission with a successful proposal for replacing the sand with mulch during the fair. The Foundation will partner with the fair to fund a portion of the mulch costs. All of these improvements are 100% possible due to the generosity of our members, friends and partners. Most donations are $100 $250. It is really fun to see these “small” donations make such a big impact for our youth exhibitors. MSF Foundation Members + Partners + Fair Staff = SUCCESS!

Improvements are underway at the Hereford Barn #45. Everything has received a new coat of paint, tie rails have been repaired and replaced, drains and faucets have been repaired. The sand has been removed and a lime bedding base installed. Next up is new lighting and upgraded electrical service. The final touch will be mulch bedding. THANK YOU to everyone who donated to make these improvements possible!

Roth’s Pride and Joy

in Webster Groves, Missouri. They had three children Robbyn, Eddie and Jennifer who all three participated in 4-H and FFA, showing Hereford cattle at the local county fairs, Missouri State Fair, Junior National Hereford Expo, American Royal and Du Quoin State Fair in Illinois. The first Hereford Ed purchased was from Andy Luczkowski at Warsaw Woods Farm in the mid to late 1970s. The heifer WWF Ventura 212 L956 was for Robbyn to breed and show. Roth Hereford Farm was established in 1976 with 100 acres in Troy, Missouri. In 2006, the farm relocated 35 miles southwest of Sedalia, Missouri, to 350 acres at the edge of the prairie and the foothills of the Ozarks in Windsor, Missouri. The multi-generational farm offers premium Hereford genetics, selling bulls, females and steers to cattlemen of all ages. For many years, Ed dreamed of hosting his own Hereford sale, bouncing ideas off of Jim Reed, Midwest Cattle Service. Carol remembers the early conversations including research on the best location to hold the sale, even checking the mileage from the Kansas City airport to the sale facility. Plans had been underway for several years when the farm decided to host the first Show-MePolled Hereford Classic on November 18, 2006, at the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia. Ed’s dream became a reality and would continue with sale partners for 14 years of passion. The first sale would include close friends and breeders: Glengrove Farm, Rolla, Missouri; Falling Timber Farm, Marthasville, Missouri; Reed Farms, Green Ridge, Missouri; and Malone Hereford Farm, Emporia, Kansas. Midwest Cattle Service managed the sale, and Dale Stith was the auctioneer.

The American dream of country life, hard work and family resonated so well with Edgar (Ed) W. Roth, Jr. If nature could speak, it would commend Ed for a job very well done in regard to the care and behavior he showed in respecting the land and cattle that grazed it. Agriculture is all Ed ever knew. He grew up in Frohna, Missouri, raising Duroc hogs in the southeastern part of the state. The family showed hogs at the East Perry Community Fair in Altenburg, Missouri, and the Du Quoin State Fair in Du Quoin, Illinois, for one purpose – to sell the hogs for meat after exhibiting them. Ed served in the United States Army and had a great deal of pride for his country. On April 4, 1964, Ed married Carol Meyer at the Lutheran Church of Webster Gardens 28

In 2011, the family made the giant commitment to host the sale on location at their farm in Windsor, Missouri, and continued annually until the last partnership sale in 2019. Moreover, Ed needed a fundamental sale for marketing bulls the farm was selling, and so in April of 2013, Roth Hereford Farm hosted a second annual sale – the Show-Me Bull and Replacement Heifer Sale, which would continue until 2020. Over the years, Roth Hereford Farm sold to many repeat buyers, witnessing the success of the operation. Siefker Family Farms of Wellington, Missouri, are one of those many repeat customers, purchasing at the Show-Me sales for nearly a decade. “Ed was always very approachable and helpful with questions,” said Wayne Siefker, owner and operator of Siefker Family Farms. Member Spotlight | July 2020

“He always knew our name and approached us every time we saw him.” Beyond respecting his customers, Ed also really knew the bloodlines and passionately spoke about the history of his herd and the Hereford breed in general. “We purchased roughly 10 bulls, five show heifer prospects and numerous bred cows from Ed over the years,” said Siefker. “He really knew his breed history and all the dams of distinction he had in his herd.” Amy Phillips began working for Ed in September of 2007 as what started as some part-time help and quickly grew into a full-time career this fall marking 13 years. Phillips, also the current Missouri Hereford Association (MHA) president, credits much of her own success as a cattlewoman to Ed. “The most influential change to the Roth Hereford Farm was perhaps when Ed jumped in the truck and took off by himself to the Grandview/CMR sale in the fall of 2012,” said Phillips. It was then that the farm purchased Grandview CMR Miss P606 X395 ET. “She has been the lead donor and cornerstone of the program since he brought her home,” said Phillips. “She has udder quality, eye appeal, milk flow and doability. Her daughters have followed in their mama’s hoof prints, and RHF 8Y Rose Garden 4067B ET was one of Ed’s pride and joys.” The farm sought selection of correct cattle with good udders. Volume, muscle and doability were also important with performance and EPDs ramping up in the most recent years. “Ed always believed the cow was 75% of the calf, and so we focused more on the maternal lines before starting to work on the sire side,” said Phillips. “He wanted to have the best Herefords, and he believed in them.” Phillips enjoyed many things over the years of working alongside Ed, but perhaps the memory she will hold onto forever was his attitude towards his Hereford cattle and the ability to work in nature. On many occasions, she remembers getting to the farm and Ed hollering, “Oh, what a beautiful morning!” as he stepped out of the house. During calving season, the two would often be found checking new babies together in the Kubota. The time spent together doing this task, if you could call it that, was often enjoyed with visits about Hereford cattle, daily goals, God and life. While Ed was quick to aggravate those close to him, he also had a serious side, open to discuss more personal life matters, sharing his faith and life lessons. “Ed and I shared the same passion for the

cattle, so we talked about cattle a lot,” said Phillips. “He loved country life and believed in the American farmer. He was kind of like a dad to me, and I considered him my best friend.” Along with a passion for his Hereford cattle and family, Ed enjoyed baseball games, specifically as an avid Philadelphia Phillies fan. He could often be found cheering on his three grandsons at baseball games as well. Moreover, his true cowboy heart loved watching John Wayne movies when he wasn’t

with his cows or at a baseball game. In December 2019, Ed was inducted into the Missouri Hereford Association Hall of Fame, the most distinguished honor the state can bestow on their membership. Also, Roth Hereford Farm was awarded the 2019 Missouri Hereford Purebred Breeder of the Year. On January 10, 2020, Ed passed away, reunited with his daughter Robbyn. He will be deeply missed by his family, customers and the MHA.

Premium Red Baldy Creates Opportunity Nebraska ranchers share their experience with a program designed to add value to heifer calves.

“We’re trying to figure out a way to raise a moderate-framed, fleshy cow that can raise a big calf, and by crossbreeding we’re hoping to do that.”

Not far from Merriman, Nebraska, the Wobig Ranch has found a new way to add Premium Red Baldy identifies quality value to their heifer calves. The family replacement females that are predominately recently became one of the first ranches Hereford and Red Angus breed type. Females in the country to enroll in the Premium enrolled in the program must be sired by Red Baldy program, a collaborative effort bulls ranking in the top 50% of the breed by the American Hereford Association (AHA) and the Red Myriah Fauber, Austin Wobig and Shane and Heather Wobig (pictured l to r) Angus Association of America operate Wobig Ranch in Merriman, Neb., a 500-head commercial cow operation consisting of Red Angus females and Hereford bulls. (RAAA), that combines the best of both breeds to produce productive females. “As far as the red baldy heifers, it was a marketing choice where maybe we could fill a void or niche market there as well,” says Shane Wobig of Wobig Ranch.

In order to become a premium source of replacement females, the Wobigs have paired Hereford and Red Angus genetics to provide customers with a productive and marketable product.

“This is our first year of having those F1 baldy calves,” Austin says. “You can get that crossbreed, you can get some bigger calves out of there, which helps with your weighups. You can sell a steer for more if it weighs more, so the excitement of that is pretty fun.”

Make plans to attend the Hereford weekend in Sedalia, Missouri ! MHA Annual Meeting & Banquet

“We invested in it,” Wobig says. “We thought about this for a while before that, the hybrid vigor with the calves and looking for bigger calf weights. As far as the red baldy heifers, it was a marketing choice as well. Maybe we can fill a void or a niche market.

The Wobigs successfully sold their first set of Premium Red Baldies earlier this year – and plan to step up their commitment to the program. So far, Shane and his son Austin like what they’re seeing from both sires and their red baldy calves.

Learn more about Premium Red Baldy at www.hereford.org.

Premium Red Baldy is a tagging program that helps producers access genetically verified females that have the best combination of longevity, fertility and adaptability. The Wobigs, who raise about 500 Red Angus commercial cows, replaced their entire bull battery with 35 registered Hereford bulls. They saw it as a way to add value to their heifer calves. For the Wobig family, the program offers a unique marketing opportunity to build buyer demand.
