Customer Service – the Key to Success

In the January 2023 issue of the Charolais Journal, I mentioned my trip to Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada to attend the Canadian Western Agribition. In Canada, bull sale season begins immediately after the Agribition. Here in the U.S., the National Charolais Sale marks the official beginning of bull sale season. Held at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado, the 44th National Charolais Sale took place on January 14, 2023. This sale was very successful with 22 ½ lots averaging $22,444 and two flushes averaging $18,000. What a

guarantee their bulls to remain fertile and injury free through the first breeding season. Some breeders offer free delivery on their bulls, anywhere in the continental United States. Other cattle producers offer free delivery of their bulls in their home state and the contiguous states around them. Some breeders offer to replace a bull who gets injured or dies during the first breeding season, or they may offer credit towards the purchase of another bull in their next sale.

Another form of customer service that is much appreciated

great way to kick-off Charolais bull sale season in 2023!

As I think about sale season, I am once again reminded of the old marketing adage that says customer service is the key to success. In any business, there is usually more than one supplier of the goods or services being sold. For instance, those in the market for a new pickup can choose from a Chevy, Dodge, GMC, Ford, Nissan, and Toyota. It is not uncommon for pickup buyers to purchase their next vehicle from the automobile dealer who offers the best service. I am personally aware of a dealer here in Kansas City who offers free oil changes for the first three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. When I purchased my current SUV, the dealer offered free oil changes for as long as I own the car. Some dealers offer free tire rotation. Last summer, a rear tire on my car went flat while I was driving to work. I pulled into the dealer where I purchased the car. The service department fixed the flat tire for no charge and told me to have a nice day. I thanked the service manager for putting a capitol “S” back in Service. I then told everyone who would listen about the wonderful service I received at the car dealership.

The customer service I wrote about in the previous paragraph also exists on some farms and ranches who raise and sell Charolais cattle. Most cattle breeders guarantee their bulls to be fertile on sale day. Some breeders go the extra mile and

is a herd visit sometime during the year so the bull seller can see how their bull looks coming out of the breeding pasture. This visit might also include a tour of the bull buyer’s cows, so the bull seller has a better idea of what type of bull(s) their customer needs and wants in the future. In lieu of a herd visit, a simple phone call, e-mail or text message asking the bull buyer about their satisfaction with the bull they purchased is a good form of customer service that lets the buyer know how much they are valued by the seller.

If you want to take customer service to the next level, increase your chances of retaining your current bull buyers or attracting new buyers, you can make the extra effort to bid on your bull buyer’s calves when they sell after weaning. This offer to purchase your customers calves could be through a video auction, a sale barn or even via private treaty. Bidding on your customer’s calves shows your customers you believe in the product that results from the bulls you raise. In other words, you are willing to put your money where your mouth is! This form of customer service in the cattle business goes a long way to ensuring the success of your next sale! There is no secret to why some businesses are more successful than others. Customer service is the key to success!

President Devon Benes Valparaiso, NE (402) 499-3429 devben@hotmail.com

Vice President Weston Schrader Wells, KS (785) 488-6390 weston.schrader@gmail.com

Secretary Shade Bunker Sparta, WI (608) 855-0270 shadebunker1@gmail.com

Hey y’all, my name is Ethan Shoemake, and I’m from Porum, Okla. I’m a freshman at Eastern Oklahoma State College where I’m on the livestock judging team and majoring in Agricultural Communications. My family and I run a diversiﬁed cowcalf operation of Charolais and Charolais composite cattle, purebred Angus, and commercial Angus cattle. Growing up I showed Charolais Composite, Angus, and commercial heifers, and gave speeches through FFA and 4-H. Agriculture has been a crucial part in my life, and the AIJCA Junior Board allows me the opportunity to continue working within an industry that’s already given me so much!

Q: What do you want to accomplish as an AIJCA board member?

A: I hope to help with the marketing and public relations part of our association and our industry, so that I can help youth get the same access to opportunities that I’ve been given.

Q: Where was your first Charolais Junior National and how many total have you attended?

A: My first Charolais Junior National was in 2021 in Perry, Ga. In total I’ve been to 2.

Q: What is your favorite Junior National Contest and why is it your favorite?

A: I’ve always loved showmanship and the team fitting contest. Showmanship is my favorite part of any show, because that’s where I get to show up and show out, and as for the team fitting contest, I love the teamwork aspect of it and just working with others to create a masterpiece.

Q:. How many different states have you shown cattle in?

A: Short answer: A lot

Q:. Who was your favorite Charolais show heifer and why?

A: I had a Composite Charolais my senior year named Madonna, and I took her all across the country. She and I were like a well oiled machine together, and I never had to worry about her.

Q: Who inspired you to become a Junior Board Member?

A: My dad, Brian.

Q:. What is your favorite thing about the Charolais Breed?

A: I’ve always had a love of white cows, so much so my friends make jokes about it, but in all seriousness it’s really the family environment of this breed that just makes everyone feel welcome!

Q:. What are you planning on doing after you graduate college?

A: Upon graduation with my associates degree in Agricultural Communications from Eastern Oklahoma State College, I hope to attend senior college, continue my judging career and graduate with my bachelors or masters degree and work with a breed association or industry leading cooperation as a marketing and public relations manager.

Q: What is the best piece of advice you have ever been given?

A: Just remember always be you, my late dad used to tell me that all the time, and I take it with me everywhere.

Q: If you could have a lifetime supply of anything, what would it be and why?

A: Gas, I drive a lot and I mean look at gas prices, it’s expensive!

The second high indexing bull, HBR Big Mac 403 P, is a 10-18-21 son of HBR Big Mac 190 P. Final test statistics: ADG: 5.02; WDA: 3.52; Index: 8.55; Final Index Ratio: 123.

Ten Rogers Bar HR bulls entered in the test recorded average Final Test Statistics (total test station average): ADG: 4.68 (3.81); WDA: 3.40 (3.13); Index: 8.08 (6.94).

New Hire:

The American International Charolais Association is proud to welcome Clint Sexson as the new Northwest Field Representative. Clint lives in Stanfield, Oregon with his wife Darcy, and two sons, Chandler and Calvin. He grew up in the Sandhills of Nebraska where he found his initial interest in the Charolais breed through working for Hebbert Charolais Ranch. From there, he purchased his first set of Charolais cows in 2000, and now runs a small herd of registered females in Nevada.

Sexson pursued his education at Northeastern Junior College. He went on to obtain his Undergrad degree from Colorado State University, then his Master’s degree from Oregon State University. During his 8 years at Oregon State University, Sexson taught Beef Production and coached the livestock judging team. Clint now works for Select Sires Inc. as their Large-Herd Beef Specialist, where his home co-op is All West Select Sires Inc.

Sexson says, “It is a pleasure to be in a role that represents a breed I have quite a bit of history with. After about 25 years of raising Charolais cattle, I have grown a large appreciation for the value of the breed and its use in a crossbreeding system. I look forward to serving not only the breeders, but many friends in the Charolais breed.”

We look forward to having Clint join the AICA family! Look for him at the 82nd Annual Red Bluff Bull Sale, 9:30 a.m., Don Smith Pavilion, Tehama District Fairgrounds, Red Bluff, Calif.

Obituary

Galen Struve, born on May 4, 1947, passed away at the age of 75 on Friday, December 16, 2022, in his home in Blue Springs, Missouri.

Growing up on his family farm in Manning, Iowa left Galen with many memories of his upbringing. After a few moves they ended up Manilla, IA. Manilla would be where he not only graduated from high school, but also met his high school sweetheart, Elaine, whom he married later.

Not long after graduation, Struve pursued his passion for illustration and design at Omaha Art Institute. Upon completion of his degree there, he took on the position of Art Instructor at Omaha. He was introduced to the Kansas City area when he joined a Livestock Publishing company. Along with this, he also served as Art Director for two Kansas City based livestock publications and worked as a freelance illustrator and designer for 25 years. Galen’s breathtaking illustrations have been recognized on the covers of several national and regional cattle magazines. His artistry could also be found in various beef breed association promotions, the American Royal and in ad campaigns for several well-known purebred beef producers. Along with this, his creations are or have also been recognized in the Steamboat Arabia, H Roe Bartle Hall, the American Royal, Longview Farms, Westminster College and the Jerry Litton Visitor Center, and the City of Blue Springs.

CCC BAD MAN 2062 P

Unique, different, high quality, bold, dense, and soft haired have all been words used by judging teams to describe Bad Man this fall. His mother, 7106, is unquestionably the widest chested, roundest ribbed and stoutest pinned cow on the farm while still maintaining a level, dark, and small-teeted udder. Bad Man was opened up by his mother, but got the high-tying neck, show quality hair coat, and killer looks from his daddy. There’s enough performance for production minded breeders and enough look for show enthusiast that would like to have a self-sufficient animal after the halter is hung up. Selling 1/2 interest and choice of possession. If the new owner(s) want to double the bid they can have full possession and 3/4 semen interest.

2106 is a 3/4 sib to one of last year’s sale highlights that went to L.G. Herndon in Georgia. This guy is clean fronted, flat shouldered, big bodied and deadly from the profile. You throw in the way he reads on paper and he instantly makes marketable livestock in his first calf crop. His coming 9-year-old New Standard-7M dam doesn’t miss and makes it easy on a guy. Retaining 1/3 semen interest.

CCC MAFIA 2106 P

CCC VILLAIN 2047 P

I don’t know where to start on this guy, but his mother has been a favorite since the day she was born. First she sticks AI to Probity to make Villian, then 358 days later she lays down and has a 75 lb Ad Astra heifer calf. I’m slow but not simple; she’s headed to the embryologist in mid-March. Villian is our only bull in Denver out of a heifer and he’s not far behind the rest in terms of lbs. He’s as hard and square footed, flexible at the ground and ideal built bull we’ve offered. Add his soft middle, big pin set, and maternal look: this guy would do a world of good to some more conventional white cows. Retaining 1/3 semen interest.

CCC GANGSTA 2004 P

2004 is as close to a replica of Gunslinger as we’ve produced. Same dense body, efficient build, and gain ability. His mother, 9043, went to the embryologist after her Resource heifer was top of the ‘21 calf crop, then at 65 days old, Gangsta proved the point we needed to have more than 1 offspring per year on our place. We picked 2004 up in the first of August. He hadn’t been on creep and weighed an impressive 830 lbs. If he’d been given the same opportunity as the majority of our bulls, it might have been scary what he weighed. If you’re a numbers guy all of his EPDs go right and are green. Selling 1/2 semen interest and fall possession.

CCC will retain walking rights from March 25-June 1.

In terms of good looks, squareness of build, length of body, being big-assed and performance driven I don’t know that we can offer a better combination bull than Mobster. His mother is a tank of a Benelli cow that cranks them out. This is her third son in a row we’ve shown in a pen. She is a beast. Mobster himself acts like his daddy and is an accurate depiction of what Mescalito is doing for us as a herd bull. Good stock. Retaining 1/3 semen interest.

Typically bulls with this much power, performance, and mass don’t present it in such an appealing manner. If he wasn’t so closely related to Mescalito, Red Kingdom, and John Brown there’s no chance we would be letting go of all the walking rights. It’s bulls like this that make drastic changes to cow herds on the first go. Retaining 1/3 semen interest.

CHAROLAIS SPOTLIGHT

How did you get involved in the Charolais breed?

Huck – I was pretty much born and bred into this industry just like all the other great herd sires before me. I never went to a daycare or a pre-school. I went to full time farming with my Poppa and learned all the ins and outs about how to be a real farmer. Then not long after that, Mom and Dad came to the farm full time and the real fun started. I can’t recall a day not working cattle, sorting, halter breaking, and even going to all the sales around the country.

I started showing at the age of five with my very first show bull named, College Fund. I had some great wins with him. I haven’t stopped showing since.

I really started managing my own herd at the age of eight but it wasn’t until the age of ten I convinced the Bank Of Tom Bean in Hope to give me my own checking account. Within my herd, I have my purebred Charolais, some Composites, a few Club Calves and about fifteen feeder calves.

What other activities do you participate in?

Huck – I attend church at Providence Missionary Baptist Church (PMBC) in Hope.

I was home schooled the last three years but recently went back to my local school, Spring Hill in January.

I run what is called Huck’s Military Care Package Project since the age of six. I send care packages to our soldiers who are deployed overseas all year around with the help of those who donate to my project. I run my page via Facebook and team up with multiple organizations throughout the year to collect items, pack boxes, volunteer for the local veteran groups and many other things. We have even been working with the AIJCA the last two years with an Amazon shopping list, where anyone can just click on a link and shop the items that go into the boxes and they ship right to me. Then all I have to do is pack the boxes and take them to the post office. Right now I have sent a little over 1,650 boxes and the soldiers appreciate every single one. I appreciate every person and organization that helps to keep my project going. #HMCPP

What is your favorite memory that you have made?

Huck – My favorite memory would have to be winning Champion Junior Showmanship in 2022 at Grand Island, Nebraska. I won Reserve Champion Junior Showmanship at Georgia in 2021, so I had set a goal to take home the “BIG W” in 2022.

What is your cattle operation based on?

Huck – If I had to describe my cattle operation in one word, it would be competitive. I want to raise good, solid, sound cattle that are competitive in the ring and in the front yard.

How do you stay involved in the AIJCA?

Huck – I attend as many events as possible. I mean if we are talking cattle, I’m trying to get there. I compete at as many national, state and jackpot shows as possible to not only compete but to also stay in touch with all my out of state friends. I also see this as an opportunity to network with all the other breeders. That’s where you really learn what’s going on.

Who has been your role model in the Charolais breed?

Huck – I’ve know this guy for awhile, and he has always been someone I’ve watched at shows. I’ve watched him fit, handle cattle and people in which all he does so honestly. My one person would have to be Matt Loggains (AKA ‘Lil Eddy). Matt has always taken time to answer any questions I have had. He has taught me many things, and he is smart with his own cattle. I feel like he has proven himself within the breed and most of all he is honest.

What are your future goals?

Huck –

To win the Bred and Owned Show one day at Junior Nationals.

To be on the AIJCA Board one day.

I wanna raise show steers that are competitive at any level.

“ROADMAP TO SUSTAINABLE BEEF CATTLE PRODUCTION IN THE USA”

By Dr. Clint Rusk

On December 14th, I presented a keynote lecture at an International Symposium in Hyderabad, India on the topic of “Novel technologies and policy interventions for a sustainable meat value chain.” During this presentation to the 11th Conference of the Indian Meat Science Association, I discussed components to a Roadmap to Sustainable Beef Cattle Production in the USA. As an invited speaker to this Symposium, our charge was to: “develop novel technologies for sustainable meat production” to produce an adequate supply of meat animal protein to feed the world population in the year 2050 and beyond. This is a huge task and one that will require using the very best in animal genetics, growth promoting technologies and the latest in scientiﬁc

At the current time in the USA, a large portion of the land we use to produce grass and grain to feed our cattle is in the severe drought category according to the National Weather Service. These severe drought conditions exist in the western half of the country where a large portion of our beef cattle are raised and fed to market weight. There were 17,800 news stories in the United States reporting on the impact of drought on cattle and beef from July to September 2022. This is an increase of 56% from the previous quarter. The severe drought conditions are now entering the second year in some regions of the USA. The lack of rain has led to the shortage of forages (grass and hay) and the liquidation of cows in some states like Texas where nearly half of the beef cattle herd has been sold in the past six months. Liquidation of beef cows has also been prevalent in other western states. It is only a matter of time before the reduction in beef cows will result in a shortage of feeder cattle and eventually a shortage of market cattle to produce the meat needed to feed a growing population.

As we think about a roadmap for sustainable beef cattle production in the USA, we must ﬁrst discuss what is means to be sustainable. The most often quoted deﬁnition comes from the UN World Commission on Environment and Development: “sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” The University

of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) defines sustainability as “the balance between the environment, equity, and economy.” Sustainability presumes resources are finite and should be used conservatively and wisely with a view to long-term priorities and consequences of the ways in which resources are used. In simplest terms, sustainability is about our children and our grandchildren, and the world we will leave them. In an article written on June 23, 2022, Daniel Mollenlkamp says, “in the broadest sense, sustainability refers to the ability to maintain or support a process continuously over time. In business and policy contexts, sustainability seeks to prevent the depletion of natural or physical resources, so they will remain available for the long term.” When asked about the meaning of “sustainable”, I think about the cattle ranchers who have been managing their operations for 40-70 years in such a way that their management practices ensure the survivability of the ranch for future generations to be successful and their cowherds to be profitable.

Now that we have discussed what it means for a practice to be sustainable, let’s discuss the changes we anticipate between now and 2050 that will aﬀect the way we raise beef cattle. 1) Experts say the world population will continue to increase at an increasing rate. These same experts predict we will have a world population of approximately 9.7 billion people by 2050. 2) the acres of land needed to raise forage for ruminant animals is decreasing daily. Thus, the number of beef cows available to breed in 2050 will be less than the number we currently have in the USA. To feed the world in 2050 with fewer cows, we will need to utilize all the technologies available to us, including the latest advancements in beef cattle breeding, genetics, nutrition, and reproduction. Because of their rapid growth from birth to harvest weight, their feed e ciency (the ability to produce a pound of meat from fewer pounds of grain than other breeds), and their inherent muscling; Continental breeds of cattle like Charolais will play a signiﬁcant role globally as governments prepare to feed the world in 2050 and beyond. With increasing populations and decreasing land for cattle production, we will be forced to produce more meat from fewer cattle. At the end of the day, cattle producers will naturally look to those breeds of cattle

LEVERAGING “GOOD” GENETICS IN HEIFER SELECTION

by Jamie T. Courter, Ph.D. Technical Services ManagerNeogen Genomics, Lincoln, Neb.

Genomic testing in the seedstock industry is quickly becoming a well-established practice. Experience has shown the addition of genomic information (DNA) to an existing pedigree-based evaluation has several impacts:

1) It increases the accuracy of the expected progeny diﬀerence (EPD) providing more conﬁdence in a bull’s performance.

2) It decreases the generation interval. Progeny equivalents illustrate that by testing an animal, you know as much about their genetic potential as if they had already sired from six to 25 calves, depending on trait.

3) It allows for more accurate evaluation of traits that are hard to measure or are measured later in life like carcass traits or longevity.

The strength of an evaluation and the beneﬁt of genomic testing are a direct result of the investment from seedstock breeders into recording pedigree, collecting phenotypes, and in genomic technology. The continued dedication to the advancement of the industry has resulted in vast amounts of genetic change over the years and will only grow with continued reporting of these data.

Gratefully, these eﬀects trickle down into the commercial side of the industry, especially as commercial cattlemen recognize the importance of genomic testing and begin to require it in the bulls they are purchasing. But here is the conundrum: If seedstock and commercial cattlemen invest in the technology for their sires and believe in the beneﬁt it brings their operation, why leave the other half of the mating to chance?

Commercial producers place a large investment

in quality seedstock bulls, with the intention of improving the genetics of their herd by selecting superior replacement females from superior matings. Unfortunately, biology is not their friend in this instance. Believe it or not, due to random sampling of chromosomes from a bull or cow, there are over one quintillion possible combinations of chromosomes passed down from a sire and dam to their progeny. How does someone determine which heifers inherited the “good” genes they paid for, and those who did not? Easy, test them.

Many readers have likely heard of Neogen’s commercial genomic proﬁle, Igenity Beef. Designed for replacement heifer selection, Igenity Beef delivers an estimate of genetic merit for 17 traits, 3 indexes, and parentage. Historically, it was marketed to commercial straightbred and crossbred cattle of Angus, Red Angus, Limousin, Hereford, Simmental, or Gelbvieh descent – until now.

Recently, the American International Charolais Association (AICA) and Neogen entered into a partnership to validate the use of Igenity Beef in Charolais and Charolais-inﬂuenced cattle. As a part of this agreement, Neogen compared genomically enhanced expected progeny diﬀerences (GE-EPD) to Igenity Beef scores on 2,488 genotyped Charolais cattle. The results of the comparison were presented to the AICA Breed Improvement Committee during their October 19th board meeting. Following some discussion among members, and with the support of Neogen, Charolais o cially became a validated breed for use with Igenity Beef.

C H A R O L A I S J O U R N A L

46 ■ F E B R U A R Y 2 0 2 3

While this is exciting news, here are some things you need to know:

WHAT:

Igenity Beef delivers an estimate of genetic merit for 17 maternal, production, and carcass traits all summarized into 3 indexes for fast and easy decision making. For cattlemen who use multi-sire pastures, Igenity Beef also provides parentage at no additional cost, as long as all sires have a genotype on ﬁle with Neogen.

WHO:

As mentioned, Igenity Beef is designed to give commercial cattlemen an estimate of genetic merit to help them select replacement heifers that match their breeding objectives. These simple 1-10 scores are based only on an animal’s DNA and therefore are not as accurate as GE-EPDs available to registered cattle. It is Neogen’s stance that registered breeders still utilize GE-EPDs released from AICA for use on their cattle but recommend the use of Igenity Beef to commercial bull buyers as a tool to gauge genetic potential for traits such as heifer pregnancy and stayability that cannot be determined solely by looking at an animal.

WHEN:

The expected turnaround time for Igenity Beef is 3-4 weeks. We recommend that samples be submitted at least 2 months before selection decisions are to be made.

HOW: Neogen prefers tissue sampling units (TSUs) be submitted for testing. However, blood cards are also accepted for testing.

WHY:

Overall, cattlemen do an excellent job of making selection decisions for the betterment of their operation. However, why not take advantage of yet another tool available to help determine which heifers inherit the genetics they pay for?

WHERE:

Further information on Igenity Beef can be found at igenitybeef.com.

We at Neogen are thankful for the continued partnership with AICA and the opportunity to participate in such exciting industry advancements. The addition of Charolais as a validated breed on Igenity Beef opens the door for many commercial cattlemen using Charolais genetics to further drive their operations success and proﬁtability.

DEALING WITH FROSTBITE: WARMING COLD OR FROZEN CALVES

By Heather Smith Thomas

Calves born during blizzards or cold weather become immediately chilled, and older calves may also suﬀer frostbite if they don’t have shelter. Any calf with a body temperature below 38 degrees Celsius needs warming.

Dr. Steve Hendrick, Coaldale Veterinary Clinic, Coaldale, Alberta says windbreaks and bedding can help prevent frostbite in baby calves, but sometimes they get too cold before they can get up and suckle, and need to be warmed and dried. “With hypothermia, what you do for them depends on how chilled they are,” he says. Some just need to be in a warm, dry place until they get dry and warm up. Others are so cold that it’s an emergency situation; those calves need to be warmed more quickly—but carefully, since there is already some frostbite damage.

“Calves have a large surface area and less body mass than an adult cow, and chill faster, and the extremities suﬀer ﬁrst—ear tips, tail, and sometimes feet—due to poorer circulation,” he says. Even if the calf isn’t at immediate risk of freezing to death, there is risk for losing ears or tail. If the feet are frozen to the point of losing them, however, the calf will have continual future pain and problems (and risk of serious infection) and the most humane thing is euthanasia.

Calves with short ears or tail don’t have a real problem in later life, except that they get usually get docked in price at sale time. It’s better if a person can ﬁnd a cold calf in time to prevent that much frost damage.

If you do ﬁnd a calf that’s been out in the cold too long, try to assess how cold the calf is and how aggressively you need to try to restore warmth and circulation. Taking rectal temperature can be a clue—how subnormal it is—and check the ears, tail and feet. “With severe frostbite, it’s pretty obvious that the feet are frozen; the calf may not be able to move them at all,” says Hendrick.

Frozen ears or a frozen tail will be stiﬀ and solid. You can check the feet for sensation, by pinching between the toes to see if the calf reacts. A pin prick just above the hoof can let you know if the calf is able to feel anything. If you warm the calf and the feet are still cold (no body heat) that’s a clue that there’s no blood circulation to the feet.

There are several ways to safely warm calves. If the calf is not severely cold, putting it in a warm box to help warm and dry it (with the added beneﬁt of breathing

warm air) may be enough, especially if you get colostrum into that calf to help warm him from the inside and give him some energy. If the calf is very cold, however, with frost-bitten extremities, a warm water bath may be better than a warming box.

The calf needs energy to generate body heat. Shivering helps with blood circulation and helps warm the muscles, but that requires energy, and some calves will be too cold to shiver. “Calves are born with some fat stores for energy and insulation, but they can go through that pretty fast when they are cold. They need colostrum very soon, to provide what they need,” Hendrick says.

When warming cold calves with a warm water bath, it’s best to not use hot water; it should not be above body temperature because you don’t want to risk further damage to skin that’s already compromised and damaged by cold. A really hot bath may also be too much of a shock to a cold calf.

“To prevent frozen ears on newborn calves, some people use ear muﬀs or fold the ears back against the body. The most important thing, however, is just getting them dry and protecting them from severe wind and cold,” says Hendrick. A wet calf chills much more quickly than a dry calf.

Also, a calf that is compromised in any way, like sick with scours, has a harder time keeping warm. “After we go through a really cold spell, even older, larger animals have more problems with cold if they are sick. In feedlots, we’ve seen some of the cattle in sick pens or chronic pens end up with white hairs on the tips of their ears. Some of the skin cells (including the pigmentproducing cells) died in the cold weather. Those cattle didn’t actually lose their ears, but because they were sick or compromised, the circulation to the extremities wasn’t as good. Later on this shows up as white tips or sometimes even losing the tips of the ears,” he says.

Young calves with scours can readily freeze ears, tails and feet just because they are dehydrated and have poor circulation; the body is shunting what little ﬂuid there is into the core of the body to keep the important organs alive, and therefore the legs, ears and tail get cold.

“It’s not always the newborns that suﬀer frostbite, and sometimes people are surprised when an older calf loses ears or tail or feet, but anything that impairs blood circulation puts a calf at risk,” he explains. If that calf was sick during the cold weather, it may end up losing its

C H A R O L A I S J O U R N A L

ears and tail and maybe even its feet.

Producers who calve later (late March, April, and even into early May, rather than January-February) can still run into problems with late winter storms. The weather may not stay bitterly cold for as long at a time, but a cold, wet snow can severely chill new calves, or even older calves—and it can be worse if they are sick. A calf with pneumonia or scours, outside in bad weather, is at high risk for hypothermia. “The only blessing with some of these later storms is that the temperature might not be as cold, but being wet and cold can take a toll on older calves as well as newborns,” says Hendrick.

If the calf is cold and miserable, and maybe a little sick, he doesn’t feel like nursing. This creates even more problem because the calf that’s oﬀ feed doesn’t have the energy to create body heat.

“Wind can make cold weather many times worse,” he says. It whips away body heat, and a calf doesn’t have much body mass, chilling much faster than a larger animal. Hendrick recommends having good windbreaks in any pasture where there cows and young calves.

“We are lucky in some spots to have trees or natural protection, but in other areas producers often put up panels, wind fence or portable windbreaks to protect the cattle,” says Hendrick. Emergency windbreaks can be created quickly, by putting out a row of big bales, or setting up panels with tarps tied to them.

The cows need wind protection as much as the calves. After a severe storm some cows may lose their ear tips, and lactating cows may suﬀer frostbitten teats. This can make their teats so sore they won’t let their calves nurse, which creates another problem for those calves.

The producers who calve in January and February (such as

purebred breeders who must calve early in order to have bull calves old enough to sell in the yearling bull sales) are usually set up for it with barns and shelter, but the folks who calve later and expect to have good weather are sometimes caught oﬀ guard with a severe late storm.

“We have seen problems in some feedlots that brought in young Holstein calves. If they get a nasty storm, those baby calves need good shelter. They found that putting big bales in circles right in their pens can give the calves a place to get out of the wind. If they have a windbreak and good bedding they are less likely to suﬀer from the cold,” he says.

The main thing for any producer is to be proactive, and prepared for possible problems. “You might not have to deal with severely cold weather or wind this calving season, but at some point you will,” says Hendrick.

Calf scours are not inevitable. A strong prevention program is non-negotiable. Dependable scour prevention is essential for calf welfare, employee morale and business proﬁtability. The immune system’s response to vaccination is variable and unpredictable. That’s why giving preformed antibodies instead of relying on a vaccine to stimulate antibody production is so important. I’m all for removing uncertainties. So yes, I stand by this product. (And no, I’m not.)

Art was not the only beloved pursuit of Galen’s. He was also a great admirer of athletics, especially fast-pitch softball. He found a way to combine his two passions of art and softball by utilizing his illustrations as a teaching method on proper pitching form to pitchers in the Kansas City Metropolitan area. From coaching competitive summer girls’ softball teams, Galen went on to coach many highly awarded teams in the collegiate softball circuit. Ranging from William Jewell College, where he was awarded HAAC Coach of the Year in 1993, then onto University of Missouri-Kansas City, Avila University, and Rockhurst University. His coaching accolades grew as he led several teams to conference championships, breaking records in every category at UMKC, founding the Dennis Gault Memorial Tournament at Avila University in 2001-2002, and finalizing his career with over 200 wins.

Above all the many joys Galen had in his life, his love for his family exceeded all. Though he was a softball man first, his love for that transpired as his granddaughters played soccer. He treasured those close to him and made sure to pass on unconditional love to each of them.

Galen Struve is preceded in death by his parents Ralph and Velma Struve, survived by his wife Elaine Struve; daughter, Dana Struve; granddaughters, Shayla (Tucker) Fletchall and Emily Hill; great granddaughter, Lainey Fletchall; and his two sisters, Glenda (CW) Baker and Janene (Patrick) Barry along with loving in-laws, nieces, nephews, beloved friends, and former softball players.

Obituary

Bobby Leonard Huse was born on July 11, 1962, in Hillsboro, Texas. His passing came on Friday, January 6, 2023.

Huse attended primary school in Malone, Texas before pursuing and completing his degree in Land/Ranch Management at Texas State Technical College (TSTC). After graduation from TSTC, Bobby became the owner of Huse Plumbing and Mechanical. He also provided services to multiple different companies across the Central Texas area as a Master Plumber and Welder.

When it came to Charolais cattle, Bobby was no stranger. Being a Charolais breeder for 30 years led him to owning H3 Charolais Company. This is where he developed many memories for himself and alongside his friends and family in the breed. He truly cherished his time spent raising and showing Charolais cattle. His passion for the breed and the

love he held for his family allowed him to do two things he loved the most, spend time with family and be around Charolais cattle at the many shows they attended across the United States.

When he wasn’t spending time at shows, it was the “little things” in life were big to Huse, especially if it meant he could be with his family. He genuinely enjoyed hunting, fishing, spending time at the coast, and enjoying Sunday dinner at Maw’s with family.

Bobby is preceded in death by his parents, Earlene (Ward) and Leonard Huse; brother-in-law, Lee Boortz; father-in-law, Bobby Moore; and niece; Kim Patton.

He is survived by his wife, Dinah Huse, and daughter, Lexi Huse of Elm Mott; his sister, Nancy Boortz; nephew, Dustin Boortz and wife Macy Boortz, their children, Austin, Grayson, and Madison; mother-in-law, Diana Moore; sister-in-law, Marlo Moore; nephew, Lance Moore and wife Stella, their son Rhett; and many other friends and family members.

In lieu of flowers, memorials will be made to a college fund for his daughter, Lexi in care of Aderhold Funeral Home, P.O. Box 423, West, TX 76691 or use Cash App and send it to $lhuse44.

who are the most e cient at converting grass and other feedstuﬀs into red meat; those breeds who are known to grow rapidly to their ideal harvest weight; and those breeds who produce a high percentage of carcasses that grade Choice or higher with minimal percentages of Yield Grade 4s and 5s.

As we start laying out a roadmap for sustainable beef production in the USA, let’s start with an animal breeding technique that has been around for many years. This simple breeding scheme is called “crossbreeding’ and it results from mating two or more breeds who are complimentary to one another. One significant benefit from crossbreeding is heterosis where the resulting offspring are superior in some traits to both their sire and their dam. Another word for heterosis is hybrid vigor which results in an increase in such characteristics as size, growth rate, fertility, and yield of a hybrid organism over those of its parents. Animal breeders exploit heterosis by mating two different purebred lines that have certain desirable traits. Crossbred offspring will often demonstrate an increase in health and hardiness at birth, an increase in growth and performance prior to weaning, as well as additional growth postweaning and on through the finishing phase as cattle reach their ideal market weight. Crossbred cattle tend to be more e cient in the pasture and in the feedyard. Crossbred cattle also have a reproductive advantage over their purebred counterparts. A simple two-breed crossbreeding system will allow cattle breeders to produce more units of beef per acre than is typically possible on a purebred cattle operation.

An example of a crossbreeding scheme described above has been used in a research setting in recent years in the U.S. With the improvement in fertility of sexed semen, a commercial cattle producer in South Dakota chose to breed 80% of his black commercial cows to sexed male semen from Charolais bulls. The reason for this decision was twofold: 1) the cattle producer decided to continue breeding 20% of his cows to Angus sires who excelled in maternal traits to produce his own replacement females. 2) He chose to breed 80% of his black cowherd to male Charolais semen because Charolais X Angus cross calves have a positive reputation for vigorous health, rapid grow, improved muscularity, and very good e ciency. In addition, these “smokie” colored steer calves traditionally sell for more $ per pound at weaning than heifer calves of similar breeding. The ﬁrst year of this experiment went very well. The cattle producer’s goals were met.

However, the following year, the same cattle producer did the math and decided to breed all his black cows to sexed male Charolais semen to maximize the income from his calf crop. The cattle producer then took a portion of the proﬁt from his mostly male calf crop and purchased black heifer calves from a reputable source known for producing heifer calves who excel at maternal traits including good udder quality, good

milking ability and excellent fertility. Two years later, this cattle producer is still breeding his entire herd of black cows to sexed male Charolais semen and buying black replacement females. He now has the data to show the increase in proﬁt over the days when he bred his black cows to black bulls.

Because of the extra carcass merit (marbling and muscling) found in crossbred calves from Charolais sires, these animals are excellent candidates for premiums oﬀered by carcass based “grids” such as “GeneNet” and “Sterling Silver”. During the past year, I learned that one of the major U.S. packers is now oﬀering a premium for market cattle weighing over 1600 pounds. In my opinion, this is good news for cattle breeders who utilize Charolais sires on English bred cows. The crossbred calves from these matings tend to be leaner at heavier market weights than crossbred calves resulting from mating two English breeds together. In addition, crossbred calves from Charolais sires should produce a lower percentage of yield grade 4 and 5 carcasses at 1600 pounds, making them an excellent choice for packers seeking heavier market cattle.

As we plan our roadmap to produce cattle in a sustainable manner, some consumers prefer to purchase beef raised in an environmentally friendly manner. Additional research is needed to document various breeds of cattle and their ability to produce sustainable beef in a manner that consistently leaves a smaller carbon footprint than other breeds. When the research is complete and the reports are released, we look forward to sharing the results and making a compelling argument with consumers that some breeds of U.S. cattle are excellent choices for producing sustainable and environmentally friendly beef.

The other management technique that added value to U.S. feeder cattle is a combination of backgrounding and preconditioning treatments intended to increase the price feeder calf buyers are willing to spend to purchase the calves they want to raise. To start with, the feeder calf buyers asked the cattle producers to give their calves pre-weaning shots while the calves are still nursing their mothers. These shots for blackleg, respiratory disease, and shipping fever, greatly increased the health status of the calves during and after weaning. Next, the calf buyers asked the cattle producers to wean their calves a minimum of 45 days prior to oﬀering them for sale. Whether they used abrupt separation of the calves from their mothers or practiced a technique called “fenceline weaning” where the cows and calves could still hear, see, smell, and touch each other, weaning the calves prior to selling resulted in healthier, heavier calves who presented less “risk” to the calf buyers. Some cattle producers further increased the value of their calves by “bunk training” them so the calves are accustomed to eating out of feed bunks for at least seven days prior to being sold to

a new owner and being moved to a new home.

A successful value-added program in Oklahoma is called the “Oklahoma Quality Beef Network”. This program has been in existence since 2011. The Oklahoma Quality Beef Network (OQBN) is a joint project of the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service and the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association (OCA). OQBN is a network of beef producers, Extension Educators, veterinarians, and industry professionals committed to increasing producers’ access to value added marketing opportunities and improving the quality of cattle produced in Oklahoma by increasing communication between all segments of the beef industry. The weighted average premium for preconditioned calves relative to non-preconditioned calves at the same sale has ranged from a low of $8.35/ hundred weight in 2020 to a high of $19.35 in 2014. For example, 600-pound calves would have received a premium of $50.10 per head in 2020 and $116.10 per head in 2014.

During my lifetime, there have been amazing advancements in the technology used to produce livestock. Artiﬁcial insemination (A.I.) has been around

for more than 60 years. Synchronization protocols have improved to the point a cattle producer can use timed A.I. to get over half of their herd bred on one day. The benefits of this technology are numerous. For instance, most replacement heifers can be produced from cows who become pregnant in the first month of the breeding season. The length of the breeding season can be controlled by the producer which could result in shorter calving seasons and a more uniform set of replacement heifers and sale bulls. The use of artificial insemination, coupled with synchronization protocols, sexed semen (both male and female), and crossbreeding have increased the profitability of beef and dairy operations across the U.S. As I said in the opening paragraph, producing enough animal protein to feed the world in 2050 is a daunting task that will require using the very best in animal genetics, growth promoting technologies and the latest in scientific techniques. I have tremendous confidence in the ability of future generations to develop novel ideas and labor-saving devices that will allow future cattle raisers to produce more beef from fewer cows to do their part to help feed the world in 2050……………….and beyond!
