VIEWPOINT

CHAROLAIS Listening & Learning v.2.0

Designed to address relevant production issues

T

he importance of recognizing geographic diversity in beef production is often understated. With all the genetic selection tools at our disposal, we simply can’t effectively measure the economic differences, or disparities in some cases, that are production realities. Successful beef producers in high desert or Western Plains need a different type than a cow-calf producer in the south. Often, it’s difficult to separate fact from fiction. It isn’t uncommon to hear a producer from across the country say, “You don’t understand. It’s different here. We can’t use the same kind of cow in our part of the country.” No doubt, there are challenges that differ depending on geographic location. One fact remains the same, regardless of geography. Every beef animal will ultimately end up in a meat case somewhere in the world, waiting on a consumer. At that point in the production process, revenue that trickles back down the supply chain will be determined by value and demand, and the two are inextricably linked.

communicate with producers and stakeholders to make genetic and management changes necessary to achieve specific objectives. Bain Wilson, Ph.D., is assistant professor of beef production and the state’s beef quality assurance program coordinator and will discuss bull selection. Wilson’s research interests include new tools to monitor the health of stocker cattle, fescue toxicity and supplementation strategies for forage-based beef production systems. Dr. Sally Northcutt, AICA breed improvement consultant, will discuss the importance of individual performance data in the age of genomics. In 2014, Northcutt and Bill Bowman launched Method Genetics, LLC, a genetic solutions company focused on providing custom genetic selection tools to commercial beef producers. Today, Method Genetics works with registered and commercial beef producers to deliver unique selection tools based on the client’s needs. The Listening & Learning Industry Sessions are designed to

One fact remains the same, regardless of geography. Every beef animal will ultimately end up in a meat case somewhere in the world, waiting on a consumer. Recently, beef industry consultant Nevil Speer has written about the strength of the current market that has largely been driven by quality. Nevil reports, “Prime and branded product dollars established new milestones in May. The aggregate of Prime and branded sales established new market share record with 26% of all boxed beef revenue coming from those two categories. Simultaneously, Prime and branded weekly sales also market a new record of nearly $160 million. Consumers are willing to pay for beef at the top end of the scale. That’s a favorable sign for beef demand and underscores the importance of decommoditizing beef.” The second Listening & Learning Industry Session will be held, Saturday, July 14, 2018, at Virginia Tech’s Alphin-Stuart Livestock Teaching Arena in Blacksburg, Virginia, and the focus will be squarely on adding value throughout the supply chain. Brian Bertelsen, vice president of field operations for U.S. Premium Beef, will lead off the morning by discussing Opportunities in ValueBased Feeder Cattle Marketing & Beef Industry Trends. U.S. Premium Beef is celebrating 20 years of business. For two decades USPB has helped to define quality, educate and reward stakeholders through premiums earned for supplying the market with higher quality beef. Bertelsen has been with USPB since the beginning. His role is to analyze feedlot and carcass data and

address relevant production issues. The Charolais breed is industry relevant. Last year’s message presented by multiple thought leaders and commercial producers was “more marbling”. We have proposed five “thought builder questions” to prompt discussions in the upcoming L&L Sessions. 1. How can producers take advantage of value-based marketing? 2. How can Charolais genetics improve upon value? 3. What are unique, documented aspects of Charolais when it comes to cattle entering the supply chain? 4. How can seedstock producers work with commercial customers to improve value opportunities? 5. What breeding changes need to be made to better meet the needs of the beef industry? We hope you can join us July 14 for the second Listening & Learning Industry Session. The information is timely, relevant and designed to move the Charolais breed forward. REMINDER: From now until the fall board of directors meeting in late October, OR until we reach 2,000 new samples, the cost of a genomic test has been reduced to $25! The newly implemented Neogen/GeneSeek GGP BOV50K test includes parent verification.

Pasture, feedlot, or processing facility, Eaton cattle hit the mark for the families whose livelihoods depend on their livestock performing. Story & Photos by Martha Mintz

t can get a bit confusing walking the pens surrounding the Eaton homestead near Lindsay, Montana. Those in search of the perfect Charolais bull or heifer to fold into their herd might find themselves turning circles. An excellent specimen will catch the eye—smooth of head, moderately framed, straight and true from every angle—and its number is jotted down. But when the hunt continues for the next contender, the buyer will find every single other occupant of the pen to be virtually indiscernible from the first. “I’ve had guys get overwhelmed and just throw their hands up,” Lee Eaton chuckles from his desk at the ranch office. Just behind him a window overlooks the pens where the current crop of bulls lounge about waiting to be chauffeured to their new homes by Lee and his wife, Connie. It’s late May and the pair have traversed thousands of miles already of the roughly 35,000 miles they’ll travel delivering bulls. Though weary of the road they consider meeting their customers one of the great joys of their business. You see, customers don’t make the trek to the ranch much anymore. Most Eaton bulls are sold private treaty with Lee often picking the bulls for customers sight unseen. No catalog with glossy photos, no web site listings, just a brief phone chat

with an Eaton family member to determine a cattleman’s needs and goals. The Eatons then pick out bulls that will work best for their customers with them getting their first look when the bulls exit the trailer at their ranch. Sometimes Lee and Connie have brought along extras at delivery, but buyers trust the cattle and the Eatons. Out With The Old The lack of ranch visits is likely linked more closely to the evenness of the herd, the quality of the genetics, and the proven performance than the lack of a sale or the remoteness of the ranch, which is situated in the biggest of Big Sky country. Eaton headquarters is cradled in a wide grassy valley that builds to hills commanding grand views of the expansive countryside. There are many miles of highway and gravel between them and pretty much anything else other than a few neighbors. And the trek has become unnecessary for even the choosiest of livestock connoisseurs. Those used to easily picking the top bull in a pen, and quickly dismissing several others as obvious passes, find themselves frustrated those skills aren’t of much value at the Eaton’s. Their herd is uncannily even, the result of decades of data gathering, careful selection, maintaining a closed herd, and

keeping their genetics young. “We don’t use old bulls. We turn yearling bulls out with our herd and usually don’t keep them past 4 years old,” Eaton says. Their logic follows that the younger bulls are the result of their latest breeding choices and have the most current and best performing traits. They will then pass those traits on to the next generations moving the whole herd forward more quickly. “You can’t move forward with an old bull.” And the Eatons have done nothing but move forward since the ranch purchased the family’s first 10 purebred heifers in 1965. Being the early days of the breed, the heifers were imposing specimens. Massive in size and poor in fertility, they were better suited to being coddled in barns in France like their ancestors than roughing it out on the Montana plains. “Charolais used to mean 3,500-pound bulls and 2,500-pound cows. They were monsters. We didn’t keep any of those original cattle and we’ve since bred our herd to a more moderate frame size. Our bulls usually mature around 2,000 pounds and our cows at 1,400 pounds,” Eaton says. “They also have finer bones so when they’re fed out they have a higher dressing percentage. A big bone has no value. They like it in the show ring, but we’re not in the show business.” While bulls are their main product, the burden of genetic CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

AICA was one of the first breed registries to establish a show program, Roll of Excellence (ROE) that provides national level competition on a regional basis across the United States. The AICA ROE Sire program recognizes sires for the achievement of progeny in National ROE Shows, Class A ROE Shows and Class B ROE Shows. A sire qualifies as a ROE Sire when progeny have accumulated a minimum total of 400 ROE points. A minimum of 200 points must be class A ROE points. For an outline of the ROE program, contact the AICA Director of Activities.

Turning SILVER to GOLD:

A guide to building relationships after the sale You take great care of your land and cattle. You’re consistently developing quality genetics, and you’ve built a solid marketing plan for your animals. BUT, are you throwing the baby out with the bath water after the sale? By Amy Blum

“Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other gold.”

I

f you weren’t a Girl Scout, the campfire song above may not be familiar; however, if you have a business relying on sales, the saying may become your mantra. Bain & Company research, cited in a Forbes article by Larry Myler, indicates up to 80 percent of satisfied customers are not return customers for the company that originally satisfied them. Why? According to Myler and additional industry research, people move on due to lack of connection in a world full of choice. For retail businesses and non-profits around the globe, that number alone makes customer retention more than a buzzphrase. Add in research that indicates acquiring a new customer can cost up to seven times more than the cost to keep a current customer, and retention efforts often become a well-funded department fueling a company’s future. So, what does all this have to do with selling cattle? According to respected industry leaders, everything.

Human Connection Brett Spader, Executive Director at the National Center for Beef Excellence in Kansas City, and Dennis Metzger, a Nebraska-native and Northern California-based marketing representative with Superior Livestock, know firsthand the power of simple, meaningful communication between people. Spader and Metzger have individually spent decades working in and for the beef industry. With special attention on the Charolais breed and animal marketing, their experiences provide them an inside look at operations around the country. Such unique insight across business models, ranch styles, geographic locations, and personalities confirms one key factor in marketing success: human connection. According to Spader and Metzger, it’s critical for beef producers—seedstock, commercial, or otherwise—to remember people do business with people. Though it’s not uncommon for cattle producers to feel overwhelmed by the idea of marketing

ey everyone, my name is Abbee Carnes and I am currently serving as your Area 8 Director and Secretary for this year! I attend school at Oklahoma State, Go Pokes, where I am a senior majoring in Ag Business. I am originally from the beautiful state of South Carolina where my family and I base our show cattle out of, and we have chosen the best breed in my opinion to base it around. That being Charolais of course! In this year of being on the board we have achieved so much and planned a lot of fun activities for all you juniors! I hope that all of you are ready for a

for their future goals. If we can instill those skills in them through something they love, they will continue to hold on to that skill. This association has helped me with where I am today. The Charolais Association has taught me more life skills that I could have ever imagined. I hope that our juniors will take everything that they learn in this experience through their time as a junior member and take it to better themselves. That is what the junior board strives to do. We enjoy seeing them compete in the competitions at the national show during the summer. They are all so excited and proud

Although our big events have to do with showing our cattle, we also are also big on leadership.

MISSOURI

CHAROLAIS BREEDERS ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP

Dear Charolais Breeders, Thanks to your hard work and dedication to breeding and promoting great Charolais cattle from our state, our breeders are celebrating a very successful sale season. This past spring, Charolais sales remained very strong – an indicator that our product remains in demand with commercial and purebred cattleman alike. With ten of the top bull and female sales in the country, the Missouri Charolais Breeders are boasting another year of success on a national level. As reported in the Charolais Journal, fifteen bull and female sales across Missouri during the past 12 months grossed $3.6M. Further, Charolais-sired calves have consistently topped feeder calf sales at auction markets across the state, and surrounding areas. Considering that Missouri cattle numbers grew exponentially for the third year in a row, 8% over the last year alone, we stand in prime position to take advantage of the added marketplace for Charolais genetics. More cattle = more business. Charolais breeders are ready to take advantage of the current state of the industry because we have what matters most to commercial cattleman: pounds and profit. After all, pounds are the path to more value in the commercial market. Currently, Missouri is #2 for active members, #3 for junior members, and #4 for enrolled females. With this much success in our state, the excitement is building for another successful year marketing Charolais genetics. A quick glance through our Breeder Directory shows a dedicated group of breeders committed to marketing the best Charolais genetics you can find anywhere. Looking to the future, we look forward to visiting with you at several upcoming events where Missouri’s display of Charolais genetics is second to none. The Missouri State Fair remains the largest state fair for both open and junior Charolais shows. Last year during the fair, the MCBA sponsored a delicious member appreciation dinner, where all who attended had a great time! This year, we plan to host another dinner and social, so please plan on attending and having a great time Saturday evening, August 11, before the Roll of Excellence Charolais show on Sunday. This fall, October 26 and 27, we will host the National Show and Sale events during the American Royal. Last year, the American Royal was the largest Charolais show, so we anticipate an even bigger event for the National! Along with the National events, we will have the Royal Breeders Bull Classic on Friday morning, which is always an event you don’t want to miss. We look forward to visiting with your during the Royal! Also, several breeders are having fall sales, so check out our web site’s calendar of upcoming events. Feel free to stop by any of these events and get to know our breeders and their cattle. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for updates on our website. Also feel free to contact any board member or breeder if you have questions on upcoming activities and how to be involved. Sincerely, Jeannine Doughty MCBA President

Value Versatility Profitability “When I go to a bull sale, I want to be highly prepared. I study every bull in the catalog. The easiest way to start the process is to use the AICA Terminal Sire Index. TSI gives me a quick review already in monetary form. I can quickly determine the bulls that I have interest in. I then study the bulls’ individual data. I am most interested in yearling weight, ribeye and marbling. Of course, I never sacrifice calving ease. Calving ease is a nonnegotiable prerequisite. We’ve certainly gotten a good payback from our investment in Charolais.” — Max Martin, commercial cow-calf and stocker producer • JX Ranch, Loving, Texas Charolais Genetic Advancement Calving Ease

improvement weighs heavily on the cows in the Eaton’s herd. They cull heifers hard. “We cull more heifers than we used to raise,” Eaton marvels. From the 2,000-head registered herd they get about 1,000 heifers per year. Just 450 make the cut for the breeding program where they’re given a chance to prove themselves. Most importantly they’re expected to be fertile. With no fall calving herd to allow for second chances it’s sink or swim. They have to have good dispositions, calve easily, have excellent udders, and have sound feet and leg structure. “We have high mileage cows. We herd them 30 miles to the south for grazing and back each year. If they can’t travel they don’t stay in our herd,” Eaton says. Tested for endurance, their offspring are well suited to perform in most any climate. The Eatons sell bulls into 28 states ranging from the tropics of Florida to high mountain deserts and everything in between. The bulls are used on predominately Angus herds in crossbreeding programs, but have also been used with great results in Brahman, Longhorn, and many other diverse crosses. “We have customers with Longhorn cows. They’ll live to be 27 years old, weigh less than 1,000 pounds and eat next to nothing. You put a Charolais bull on them and they’ll raise a 650-pound calf,” Eaton says. But it’s not just the cross, it’s the quality of bulls and the cows that produce those bulls. Just as they use young bulls to keep genetics moving forward, they also look to their heifers to continue to refresh and improve the herd’s performance.

“We feed out our cattle so we know exactly how they’ll do in the feedlot and at the packing house.” “We identify our best young cows and keep their sons in the breeding program. We also maintained a closed herd for decades which is part of why our cattle are so uniform,” Eaton says. Though their herd is no longer closed, a strong linebreeding program helped the Eatons hone in on and concentrate positive genetic traits. The result is the impossibly even set of cattle in their pens and on their pastures. The only thing more disorienting than their bull pens is their large lot of replacement heifers. Lined up at the bunk a carpenter could perfectly balance a level from calf to calf for all 450 head if it weren’t for the rolling hills of the lot itself. It’s an impressive sight hard earned through years of breeding and following their cattle to understand how they perform as they move on from the ranch. Proven Start To Finish Eaton cattle deliver, and that’s thanks in no small part to data they’ve amassed on the herd. When it comes to performance, the Eatons don’t like to lean too heavily on the “expected” part in EPDs. They want to see first-hand how their cattle line up in every facet of production. Of the 1,000 bulls calves they produce each year, they cull that number back to 700 to 800 bulls. From there, they put 60-65 bulls into their potential herd sire group and will select around 25 to be used back in the registered herd. Purebred breeders can select from the remaining bulls in that group. Another 150 yearling bulls are used on the 2,000-head Angus commercial herd they

maintain. The rest head to the ranches of their customers. The Eatons retain ownership of calves from the commercial cows and any culls from the heifer and bull programs. The calves are taken to Dinklage Feedyard in western Nebraska, of which the Eaton’s are now part owners. For years they’ve fed out their livestock there along with calves from many of their customers. They gather data from the feedlot and processing facility using the information not only to prove the quality of their genetics, but to continue to progress them. The Charolais and Charolais-cross cattle perform as exceptionally in the feedyard as they do in the pasture. As the Eaton’s selected for improved fertility and maternal traits while moving toward a smaller animal they picked up some complimentary traits in the package. “As we downsized our cattle to better suit our environment we picked up ease of marbling, increased testicle size in the bulls, and earlier maturity for better fertility,” Eaton says. While the family brand is “ETN” for Eaton it maybe should be “EAT” because their cattle produce great beef. A recent pen of 35 open purebred heifers fed out at 100 percent choice and prime. Eaton calves consistently come in at 95% choice or prime and yield grade 2 or better. They finish at around 1,300 pounds and selection for finer boned animals results in 64 to 65 dressing percentage. “We feed out our cattle so we know exactly how they’ll do in the feedlot and at the packing house.

AICA MEMBERSHIP Obituary

Obituary

Fred Stivers passed away unexpectedly on April 9, 2018 at his home in Troy, Ohio. Born June 1, 1947 to William F. and Virginia Stivers, who preceded him in death, Fred was internationally known as one of the greatest livestock photographers of all time. He also was highly skilled at working a seedstock auction crowd and was in high demand as a ring man for over four decades. A short time prior to his death, he worked his regular sale section at Belle Point Ranch in Arkansas on March 24, and turned in bids at the Synergy Wagyu sale in Pennsylvania on April 7. Following a year of law school, Fred began his livestock marketing career as a field representative for the Charolais Way, followed by the North American Simmental Register. He later joined the staff of Drover’s Journal as a fieldman and represented the publication as an auction ring man. Fred’s keen eye for cattle and skill at portraying their best attributes earned him the undisputed reputation of Master Photographer. He captured on film the finest Angus, Hereford, Polled Hereford, Limousin and Charolais and other breeds well before digital photography came along, and in the mid ‘90s he transitioned into using modern digital technology in both cameras and computers. Stivers-signed photos in publications and sale catalogs helped generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for his clients. Fred’s portraits of ideal bulls and cows of multiple breeds were prominently featured in Herman R. Purdy’s incomparable book, “Breeds of Cattle.” Because he was a perfectionist in the picture pen he was difficult to work with, but the end results of a Stivers’ photo session were good animals that looked great, and great ones that became legendary. Through the lens of a camera he was an artist, and long before he used a digital camera’s screen, he always knew when he’d gotten the best shot. He mentored young photographers who would commit to his standard of perfection. Among his friends in the livestock industry, Fred will be remembered for his great mind and quick wit, never mincing words. Once a common joke was established with a person, he would repeat it every time they met. His friends knew the repetitious joke was his way of making a special connection. He could pick up a conversation from months before and continue it, as if it had started yesterday. He cared deeply for his friends, and they accepted that “Fred was Fred.” Obituary

Elner Donald Eaton, age 75, of Terry, Montana passed away on Tuesday, June 5, 2018 north of Terry. Elner was born April 26,1943 to Frank Cecil and Esther Carlstrom Eaton, the second of ten children. He grew up on the family homestead and attended school through the 8th grade at Union School. He graduated from Terry High School and went on to MSU where he graduated in Agribusiness. He returned home to help with the family ranch. Elner’s father had a heart attack when Elner was 16 and from that time on, he and his brothers ran the family farm. He was instrumental in the growth of the ranch. The ranch and his family were the centers of his life. Elner met his future wife, Linda Zody while taking his sisters to the Union School, the same school he attended. Elner and Linda were married during one of the worst Thanksgiving storms the Bloomfield area had seen and their union lasted 47 years. Their son, Brad, arrived in 1973 and their daughter, Heather, completed their family in 1976. They spent the next several years chasing their children to school and church activities and even managed to squeeze in a few family vacations. He enjoyed passing his work ethic to his son, Brad, showing him the value of a job well done, not just done. Heather held a special place in her dad’s heart, tagging along to be “one of the guys.” Elner’s grandchildren were the light of his life. He loved it when they came to visit and took a vast interest in their activities. He liked to take them with him when he was working, wanting to teach them the value of hard work and his love of ranch and family. He especially loved it when they called him, “Bapa.” On his last day on earth, Elner was enjoying the sunny morning after a fresh rain by doing one of his favorite things, checking the cows, when the Lord called him home. Elner was a man of deep faith, trusting the Lord to help him through each day. He was a member of the Evangelical Church. He was baptized with daughter Heather, son-in-law Aaron, and grandson Alex. He was also a member of the Gideons. He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, father-in-law, and sister, Alice Schmidt. Elner is survived by his wife, Linda, son Brad (Holly), daughter Heather (Aaron) McIntyre, four grandchildren Abby Eaton, Alex Eaton, Hayden and Jett McIntyre. Brothers Ed (Adela) of Las Cruces, NM, Lee (Connie) of Lindsay, Tom (Linda) of Glendive, Ben (Lou Ann) of Reeder, ND, Sisters, Marilyn Martin & Priscilla Wrobetz of Greely, CO, Lottie (Curt) Starr of Billings, Connie (Steve) Sumida of Anchorage, AK and numerous nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Gideons, Evangelical Church in Glendive, or Union Hall. Remembrances and condolences may be shared with the family at: www. silhafuneralhomes.com.

continued from page 29 themselves or their businesses, it doesn’t have to be that way … especially when it comes to taking care of the customers they already have. “Customer retention doesn’t have to be about grand gestures and hours in an office,” says Spader. “It’s about taking an interest in the people who buy your genetics and building a genuine relationship using simple acts that can fit right in to the crazy of a cattleman’s daily schedule.” Metzger agrees. “Most programs I work with don’t have big advertising budgets, yet they consistently have successful sales with a great base of repeat buyers,” says the American International Charolais Association’s Director for Area 2. “The thing they all have in common is a genuine interest in their clients.” Customer Care With vast personal and professional experience between the two, Spader and Metzger know the time required to successfully sell cattle year after year. Sale preparations alone can be consuming; however, the duo cautions producers about throwing the baby out with the bath water after the sale. “One of the quickest ways to keep a current customer from being a repeat customer is to reach out only when you’re trying to sell something,” Spader says. “There’s opportunity and responsibility to stay connected with customers and doing that is simpler than we often tell ourselves.” Spader and Metzger believe there’s a general guide to taking care of customers after the sale. 1. Communicate from a place of genuine interest. 2. Be a respected, trusted resource. 3. Listen. Communicate By definition, communicate simply means to share or exchange news, thoughts, or ideas. At minimum, a bull buyer and a bull seller have the bull and his genetics in common. Spader and Metzger say using that connection as a starting point for conversation helps build a genuine relationship. “If you sold a bull in the spring, for example, give your customer a call while you’re in the tractor come late summer or early fall. Ask how the bull held up over the breeding season. Find out when your customer will be selling calves,” Spader says. “This type of follow-up sets the stage for

your relationship. Care calls remind the customer you are also invested in their success.” Initial, off-sale season calls allow producers to check on production metrics and to strengthen relationships by expanding personal networks. “Knowing when and how your customers market their calves may allow you to leverage your network for their benefit,” continues Spader. “You might not be able to buy or bid on their feeder calves, but perhaps someone in your circle can. If you think of your customers at selling, they’ll remember you at buying.” Metzger concurs and adds, “The little things can get overlooked in the business of selling. Remember your customers’ names and show interest in their operation and goals. Once you’ve established a business relationship, you’ve got opportunity to create a friendship, and friendships benefit both parties.” A phone call or in-person conversation remains best; however, two-way communication is made even simpler and quicker with technology. Text, social media, email, and an updated website are important tools for effective relationshipbuilding according to experts. Be a resource “In my experience, commercial folks look to and respect seedstock producers as reliable sources for information,” Metzger notes. Spader says one way to become a trusted resource is to share information about health systems or breed advancements. As example, you might initiate conversations with your customers about herd health and realize there’s opportunity to secure a bulk order discount with your trusted animal health provider for fall vaccinations. “Especially for Charolais breeders, there’s also growing opportunity for seedstock producers to start conversations about precision breeding and genomic testing with their commercial customers,” he adds. “If something compliments the core of your business, share it with others. In doing so, you become even more trusted and respected.” Sharing what works for you and learning what works for your customers creates a community and

ultimately increases the overall effectiveness of communication and time management for everyone involved. According to Spader, being present at industry functions and utilizing the resources provided by breed associations like the AICA enhance your own ability to be seen as a reliable source for information. Listen Once you’ve earned trust and respect from your customers, maintain it by listening to them. Let their feedback drive your program. “I firmly believe in listening to people and learning something new every day,” Metzger says. “Knowledge is king, and the best way to gain knowledge is to really listen to what people are telling you.” Spader says staying in touch with customers is the first step but listening follows right along. One-sided relationships don’t last. “Time is probably everyone’s biggest challenge, so if you’ve taken the time to communicate with your customers, make it effective and actionable by listening to them,” he says. Based on anecdotal situations, you might discover your core customer base has a need for or an interest in an area that you can provide. Maybe that allows you to offer embryo packages on your sale or to work with an order buyer who can fill a feedlot with animals that carry uniform traits provided by your breeding program. KISS: Keep It Simple, Silly A Google search yields plenty of scientific data around the importance of human connection, especially when it comes to building loyal relationships. However, Spader and Metzger say there’s no need to overthink the process or get wrapped up in the overwhelming idea of marketing. “Taking care of your customers is really all about communication, which includes listening,” Spader says. “Keep in touch. Encourage an open dialogue, and remember, like any relationship, if you don’t make an effort to take care of it, someone else will.”

Keep Customer Care Simple You’ve dedicated years to building a desirable cattle herd. The process required focus, sacrifice, and openmindedness. Now what? According to Brett Spader and Dennis Metzger, now you continue your hard work! “Successful marketing and communication require the same degree of effort as the production part,” Metzger says. “But, once you’ve built a marketable cattle program, your level of success is mostly controlled by you.” Spader and Metzger believe there are three universal components to taking care of customers. 1. Communicate. Talk to your customers outside of sale season. Learn their operation. “One of the quickest ways to keep a current customer from becoming a repeat customer is to reach out only when you’re trying to sell something,” Spader says “Be aware of and use your time windows” 2. Become a resource. As you communicate with customers, share what works for you when it comes to herd health. Discuss new ideas or programs within the breed. Get involved in your breed and industry. “Knowledge is king,” Metzger says. “Get involved wherever you can outside of your operation. The more connections you make the bigger your network becomes, which means you have more to offer.” 3. Listen. Take note of customer feedback, and let it drive your business. “If you’ve taken time to communicate with your customers, make it effective and actionable by listening to them,” Spader says. “Customers chose you. Taking a genuine interest in what they say matters.”

relationship with Tyson and our cattle are used in their premium programs,” Eaton says. They know what their cattle can do and that gives them confidence to sell bulls to their customers and guarantee they’ll do well. “We’ve had the same customers for decades, many who have started from basically nothing like us. When they buy bulls from us their whole financial livelihood is in our hands. We take that level of trust pretty seriously,” Eaton says. Their careful breeding and attention to the things that matter, such as fertility, milking ability, soundness, and carcass traits, ensures their customers will produce a calf crop that will help them top the market. “It’s really humbling that these producers trust us and that we can help their family.” Family is about the only thing more important to Eatons than good cattle. Lee Eaton is one of 10 children who formed a bond stronger than most. When Eaton was in the 8th grade his father suffered a major heart attack that severely limited his ability to run the family’s modest farm. The kids banded together shouldering adult-level responsibility to not only keep the farm going but build it from just a few acres into the large and successful beef enterprise it is today. All 10 of the children not only stayed in school while managing the farm, but all graduated from Montana State University. Of the siblings, five brothers stayed on with the farm. They almost lost it all when the bank sent them a letter demanding they sell in 1973. “The Lord bailed us out with $5 wheat that year, so we made it through,” Eaton recalls. There have been many ups and downs over the years, but this year dealt a particularly hard blow with the sudden loss of Lee’s brother, Elner. Though his absence will be hard felt, the ranch he helped build with his brothers, Ed, Lee, Tom and Ben is a legacy their parents, the 5 generations of Eatons that came before them in Montana, and the two more generations of Eatons already working alongside them, can be proud of. And with the work ethic they’ve instilled in their children, it’s a legacy that will continue to grow.
