VIEWPOINT

CHAROLAIS Membership Privilege versus Responsibility

Change is evident across the entire spectrum of breed associations in America. Making change is a common thread in every board meeting and assembly of AICA members. In fact, you may grow weary of the conversation and think there’s too much focus on change. We know one thing for sure. Those who don’t change are eventually left out of any relevant beef industry conversation. The question that begs to be asked is, “Who makes the change?” Membership. Only the membership. American Express, for many years, has used “Membership has its privileges” as a branding statement for its credit card. American Express was one of the first credit card companies to attempt to “package” benefits as an enticement for consumers to use a card with a “membership” fee attached. Originally, breed associations came into existence purely to serve its members. An association’s primary responsibility was to protect and preserve breed purity. There has always been a social benefit as members,

commercial customers benefit by knowing the data is accurate. Commercial producers, your customers, represent our breed association’s perpetual field studies. Their successes or failures are important and serve as analyses to ultimately propose, develop and make improvements. For those adverse to change, the question may be, “So what?” An all too often heard comment is, “My customers don’t care about data. They sell their cattle by the pound.” Regardless of end point, that is a true statement. However, selling cattle by the pound is only one piece of the profit puzzle. Pounds plus health, nutrition, genetics, environment, market volatility, and ultimately, consumer demand, must be considerations for every beef producer today. The bottom line is someone will ultimately market your product up the food chain to the meat case. Every segment of beef production has become much more sophisticated and analytical. Progressive stocker operators now use proven health and nutrition protocols to mitigate risks. Stocker operators, working with thin

“...membership participation is an absolute key to industry relevance. Most important, however, is the fact that members represent their customers.” with similar interests, gathered across the country for shows and sales. Fast forward to the last half-century and change has been perpetual and rapid. Every membership body has a culture and is made up of diverse personalities. Some conservative. Some more progressive. Regardless of personality or political persuasion, an association’s board of directors, vis-ávis membership recommendations, are responsible for making change. Today, more than ever before, membership participation is an absolute key to industry relevance. Members still enjoy benefits through an AICA membership. Most important, however, is the fact that members represent their customers. Early on, as breed registries began to accumulate and evaluate information, commercial producers didn’t place much value in the data. The goal was to make ’em heavy and cheap corn was more important than data. The days of cheap corn are gone. The technology and science we have available, and the beef industry has embraced, provides anyone using Charolais genetics unprecedented marketing opportunities. Through AICA’s whole herd performance registry (WHR), members can manage cow herd inventories, report data and recognize strengths and weaknesses. And, your

margins, keep extensive records. Feedyards, with possibly the thinnest of margins, have accumulated volumes of performance data. Those feedyards are working harder than ever before to fill pens with cattle of known genetics and predictable end point performance. The packer is challenged with quantifying the value of pounds and responding to consumer demand. AICA, like all major beef breed associations, can take advantage of the flow of performance information from our commercial customers as well as the packers using Charolais-influenced genetics to fill a branded beef box. Beef industry progress begins with membership. The importance of membership in AICA has changed. The commercial segment has changed. The packer, long considered an adversary, is the lifeblood to our sustainability as beef producers. AICA’s role today isn’t just to protect breed purity and conduct social events throughout the year. Collecting, analyzing and quantifying data, developing new tools, marketing and communication is the responsibility of the AICA staff. However, it is every member’s responsibility to take information from their customers and create a constructive dialogue with our elected board of directors. Everyone using Charolais-influenced genetics benefits.

NEWS NOTES

AICA MEMBERSHIP Obituary

Obituary

Everett Oddell Shepherd, 62, of Stuart, Iowa passed away on Sunday, May 12, 2013. His early childhood years were spent on the farm where he especially loved working with cattle and could always be found playing a sport. He created many memories showing cattle at the Adair County Fair, Iowa State Fair and Ak-Sar-Ben. As he grew, his love of sports and natural leadership ability became apparent. Everett graduated from Stuart High School in 1968 where he was active in student senate, athletics and other activities. Everett attended Clarinda Junior College where he played baseball (team captain) and was Vice President of the Student Senate. While playing for a semi-pro team in Clarinda he was asked to try out for the pros. He opted to continue his education accepting a baseball scholarship to Wayne State College in Nebraska. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education. Everett met his first wife, Claudia at Wayne State refereeing one of her basketball games. They married in 1973 and returned to Stuart to start farming in 1974. Claudia passed away in 1999. Everett built his farming operation from the ground up. At its largest, he had a farrow to finish 1,000 head hog operation, 200 head commercial cow-calf herd and farmed 2,000 acres of corn, soybeans and hay. Everett also operated a Northup King Seed Dealership during the eighties and nineties. Everett stayed active in his Methodist church, basketball and softball playing and coaching his children. He was also involved in the real estate business operating Shepherd Reality. Everett initially started his Charolais herd around 1989 when his children began showing cattle. The Iowa State Fair became the family’s summer vacation. Everett phased out his cattle operation in the early 2000s, but his passion didn’t keep him out for long. After he and Julie married in 2003, they established EJ Shepherd Charolais. The operation was chosen as the 2012 AICA Seedstock Producer of the Year and the 2013 Iowa Beef Breeds Council Seedstock Producer of the Year. This past October because of Everett’s health, the herd was dispersed and ranked as the nation’s number 6 female sale of the year. Through his adult life, Everett was active in Stuart and Adair counties serving in numerous boards including the Adair County Hospital where as president, lead the group in expansion efforts. Everett was preceded in death by his parents, George and Betty Shepherd, his wife Claudia and sister, Nancy Allen. Surviving are his wife Julie; daughter Sara Shepherd of Stuart; and son Greg (Aimee) and grandchildren Caleb, Silas and baby due in July of Mount Pleasant; and numerous family members.

Ralph Harlan, 69, of Pflugerville received his award after a four year battle with cancer May 21, 2013 in Round Rock, Texas. He was born August 15, 1943 in Jourdanton, Texas to Bendell Bayles and Daisy Qualls Harlan. Ralph graduated from Charlotte High School, near Jourdanton, in 1961. He married Norma Jo Crider on November 6, 1970 in Austin. He attended Southwestern Assembly of God University in Waxahachie, Texas and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Christian Ministry. He later received a Master’s Degree in Divinity from Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. He served Southern Bible College in Houston as Dean of Students and as a Professor. As an Ordained Minister for the Assembly of God Church, he served The Church of Glad Tidings in Austin in the 1970’s as the Associate Pastor. He also pastored churches in College Station and Houston. He retired after more than 30 years of ministry and returned to the Austin area in 1983. In his later years, he worked with his two brothers in the Harlan Charolais cattle business. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ben and Daisy Harlan, and his son, Justin Scott Harlan. He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Norma Harlan of Pflugerville, Texas; a daughter, Kristie Beene, (Loy Beene) of Hutto, Texas; his grandson, Justin Beene, of Hutto, Texas; sisters, Sarah DeSpain (Oran DeSpain) of Beeville, Texas, and Loretta Sue Masters (Richard Masters) of Taylor, Texas; brothers, Benny Harlan (Brenda Harlan) of Jourdanton, Texas and Ed Harlan (Rose Harlan) of Austin, Texas. He has numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. In lieu of flowers and customary remembrances, the family request donations be made to Justin Beene College Fund, 1928 Oak Vista Drive, Pflugerville, TX 78660 Funeral services were on Saturday, the 25th of May 2013, at The Church of Glad Tidings, Austin, Texas. Interment followed in Cook-Walden Capital Parks, Pflugerville, Texas, under the direction of Cook-Walden Funeral Home.

VIEWPOINT

GENETIC Robert Williams,

Director of Breed Improvement Director of Foreign Marketing

Performance Data Reporting Follow proper data collection techniques

It won’t be long before it is time to weigh and

record weaning weights for spring born calves. Expected progeny differences (EPD) are calculated using performance and pedigree information submitted by producers. Accuracy and reliability of EPD rely on the accuracy and reliability of data reported. The best data sets are those where the breeder has taken proper steps to insure proper data collection techniques where used. Furthermore, proper designation of contemporary groups as well as collection and reporting of performance from all animals in the herd is critical. Producers should follow proper data collection techniques. Make sure scales are working properly, kept clean and balanced as more cattle are weighed. Also be sure to verify the identification of each individual calf as he is weighed, this helps insure that each animal receives credit for its own performance. Contemporary groups are often one of the most misunderstood concepts of genetic evaluation. It is however the cornerstone on which genetic evaluations are based and therefore great care should be taken to insure that groups are properly reported and that all calves are weighed and reported as a group. A contemporary group is a group of animals that have been exposed to the same environment and have been given equal opportunity to express their genetic potential. Breeders should report accurate weigh dates, pasture and management codes. Management codes are available on the performance sheet while the breeder designates the pasture codes; pasture codes may be designated as either pasture A, B or C for example. The accuracy of genetic predictions and future genomic enhanced evaluations begin with accurate reporting of data. Properly collected and reported data produces the most accurate genetic predictions giving producers access to genetic values for economically important traits.

Hello all! My name is Haley Stalcup and I am currently serving as the Area 7 Director, as well as, Treasurer on the AIJCA board. I am from Prescott, Iowa and attend college as a sophomore at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa majoring in Animal Science. It’s summertime and I hope you are all enjoying soaking up some vitamin D, as well as counting down until the Junior National! As for me, I accepted to spend my summer as an intern in the animal science pharmaceutical field. After going through many interviews for different internships, I began to think about what kind of experiences helped me to receive a position in my field. The answer that came most important to my mind is my involvement. At any age, involvement is important. Being involved builds off of previous experiences and interests. My first

Premier Challenge Scholarship for being involved and doing well in the contests, thanks to the Zehnder Family! I can’t stress enough how important it is to have good communication skills and be able to talk to different kinds of people. Communication skills can outweigh almost any GPA on a résumé. This brings me to my next point, besides for building your communication skills and gaining countless experiences, you can put these on your résumé! A great résumé is a way to get your foot in the door when applying for a job. It’s your first impression before meeting your interviewer! Not only have I gained many great experiences through the AIJCA, but other organizations and opportunities as well. My best advice to anyone seeking any kind of career in their future would be to get involved and take

“I cannot stress enough how important it is to have good communication skills and to be able to talk to different kinds of people. Communication skills can outweigh almost any GPA on a résumé.” Junior National was in Hutchinson, Kansas in 2005. After attending, I was hooked! I have since been to seven Junior Nationals, and can proudly say that I have taken many great opportunities away from each and every one. The first few years, my siblings and I were pretty shy about participating in the contests, but of course our parents always had to sign us up! Now, I definitely thank them for it. Because I participated in these contests such as impromptu speech, job interview, quiz bowl, team fitting, etc., I gained countless experiences to communicate with others. Not to mention, now you can win the AIJCA

advantage of the opportunities in front of you. I promise, if you take advantage of the opportunities that await you, you won’t regret it. You will have taken something away from all your experiences, even if you learn that that kind of experience isn’t your cup of tea! My challenge for you is to participate in one more contest this year at the Junior National. It could be one that you have never participated in before, or a new one such as the Team Sales contest. Just add one more contest to your plate, and see what great experience you get out of it!

0 • a herd sire that is athletic and can more than hold

his own in the pasture

•

a herd sire that can compete with A.I. Sires presently being used

•

a herd sire whose progeny have been accepted by real cattlemen making a go of it on real grass

•

a herd sire with superior individual performance BW: 89 WW/Ratio: 896/119 YW/Ratio: 1430/107

•

a herd sire that has balanced EPDs BW: -0.2 WW: 31 YW: 50 MILK: 6

Gold Blend is the son of LT Easy Blend 5125 Pld, a proven meat performance sire and out of a ‘milk wagon’ dam LT Marla 4904 ET Polled who has produced 6 natural calves, all bulls, who have averaged 842 lbs. at weaning.

• a herd sire that is a proven easy calver

Ryan Honeyman has been using Gold Blend on heifers and says,

“We have used Gold Blend on a select group of heifers the past 2 years, all bred naturally, and he has proven his calving ease to us. Eleven bull calves had an average birth weight of 78.7 lbs. and 11 heifer calves averaged 75.4 lbs., all out of first calf heifers. We have also used Gold Blend on a good number of cows the past 2 years and he has done a great job. He is the type of herd sire we like because he has enough calving ease to use on heifers and enough performance to justify his use on cows. Our second high-selling bull this past year, at our annual bull sale, was a Gold Blend son out of a first calf heifer. He had a 79 lb. birth weight, 810 lb. weaning weight to index 103, a 1,453 lb. yearling weight to index 107, and he had a 36 cm. scrotal on Feb. 8 and commanded $11,000 at the sale.”

Gold Blend is now walking Michigan’s turf in the paddocks of White Charolais in Allegan and Rathmourne Charolais in Port Hope where he will help them transform green grass into Gold Blend calves. For Gold Blend semen inquiries – contact either owner.

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.

LIFETIME OF OPPORTUNITIES Grow Steady at Franz Ranch By Linda Eck

aking a firm and steady approach to a lifetime of opportunities, Ray and Ann Franz have weathered adversity and built upon relationships to grow the family ranches and a heritage for future generations. As owners of a ranch in northeastern Montana that sits above the Bakken Formation, a large contiguous deposit of oil and natural gas that covers parts of Montana, North Dakota, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the Franz’ have learned to protect their rights while treating others the way they themselves would like to be treated. While the magnitude of the Bakken Formation has been unlocked through new and innovative practices, the harvest of oil and gas from Richland County Montana has been an ongoing issue for ranchers since the 1950s when oil leases were primitive and the understanding ranchers had of them was minimal. After serving four years in the Navy during the Korean War, a young Ray Franz, who had grown up on the family farm in Montana, ended up in Florida. It was there that he met his wife of 57 years. It was also there in Polk County Florida that he attained his first experience with mineral rights…at the end of a shovel working in the phosphate fields. It was his job, working on a prospecting crew, to prospect across the county and collect core samples. Moving back to the family ranch in 1958, Ray and his brother bought the 1500-acre home place from their parents. It was a commercial cattle and farming operation and they made the conversion to grass and hay. Ray later purchased his brother’s share of the ranch and he and Ann eventually grew it into a 4000 acre purebred Charolais operation. And, while the land was an integral part of the operation, the Franz’ quickly realized the importance of mineral leases. Those primitive leases of the 1950s caught many unaware of their leasing privileges with oil companies hardly acknowledging any rights of surface landowners. Damaging crops and cropland, oblivious to the value of any agricultural practices, farmers and ranchers were plagued with years of issues. It was not until 1971, when Ray and other land owners united and made their way to the state legislature, that laws were passed to protect farmers, ranchers and the land that provided their livelihood. The awareness brought about by

J U N E / J U L Y 2013

their effort has been credited for helping mineral owners throughout Montana and other states as well. But there were still some issues. “When the old leases expired in 1976, oil companies came back, leasing in pieces,” said Franz. The oil was being produced under them and not being paid for. Instilling the interest and

Jon, Ray & Ann Franz help of a petroleum engineer who was part owner of a Texas oil company and familiar with the northeastern Montana landscape and its people, Franz poured through “a lot of legal work” and found the right people to have the leases terminated in 1997. “Initially our concern was in vertical drilling,” said Franz, who also noted that as the years passed and new horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracking emerged to increase production, additional issues have also come into play. But, with greater awareness for surface owner property rights and laws in place, landowners are better protected. “They wrote some awfully good leases,” said Franz of the lease contracts in the Bakken. The “boom” in the Bakken began in 2006. In addition to surface use agreements, the percent of royalties has also risen dramatically.

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

“Working with good people is important,” said Franz of his success in bringing about change and awareness to the problems with mineral leases. “It’s a learning process, learning how to protect what we have. We’re very lucky.” He also noted they were fortunate to have a good attorney. Reflecting back on earlier times, when the cash values of life insurance policies were used to purchase another ranch and their Charolais herd was dispersed to cover a loan, Ray and Ann put strong emphasis on the value of family partnerships, good neighbors and the land. Drawing bids from across the United States for the quality genetics offered in their dispersal, they think back on the $20,000 sale of half interest in a bull as part of that event and fondly remember, “we bought back in with commercial heifer calves purchased for 54-cents a pound that were put on spring grass and sold in the fall as yearlings for 84-cents a pound.” “There are so many opportunities,” said Franz smiling at his wife and thinking of the trials and triumphs they have encountered over nearly six decades. His encouragement for young people is to grab hold of those opportunities and keep trying. “Don’t look for a free ride, there’s all kinds of opportunity,” he said. “There can be boom or risk of bust in any situation.”

“It’s a learning process, learning how to protect what we have. We’re very lucky.” – Ray Franz

Charolais offers Sustainability

To Franz Ranch Operations After converting much of their Montana ranch into grass and hay, cattle became the heartbeat of daily operations on the Franz Ranch, but it was in 1973 that Ray and Ann Franz turned to Charolais when opting to develop a purebred operation that could sustain their family’s livelihood. Introducing Charolais to the ranch was just one of a long list of opportunities that presented itself to the Franz’ and not only resulted in improvement and expansion of their overall ranch operation but helped to secure long term success and sustainability. Today, Ray and Ann are joined by sons, Jon and David, in the daily operations. “We’ve always been partial to Charolais,” said Ann, noting that after 40 years in the purebred Charolais business they continue to promote the breed , consistently using high quality Charolais bulls on their current herd of commercial Red Angus females.

Vermont Organic Beef Farm EXCELS with Dedication to Sustainability,

Charolais Genetics

large beef production operation in the heart of Vermont is far from typical, but then again so is the way in which Mountain Meadows Farm got its start. “It really started in the mind and dreams, not with property, family or generations of farmers,” says Dr. Amiel Cooper, owner of the 350-cow organic beef farm who credits superior Charolais genetics for a large portion of the farm’s success. Combining his experience in the medical field and love of the outof-doors, Dr. Cooper began the process of developing Mountain Meadows Farm. Growing World War II era victory gardens back in West Virginia and enjoying remote family fishing trips instilled an appreciation of the outdoors, but it was while duck and goose hunting with a friend on his family’s North Dakota farm that the pathologist found an appreciation for heartland farm values and agriculture. “I think I like it more than medicine and I certainly find it more challenging,” touted Dr. Cooper, who retired from Chief of Pathology at New England’s Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital in 2010.

By Linda Eck

Those hunting trips also allowed the West Virginia native to gain a better understanding of farm values by allowing him the opportunity to realize that sometimes baking a good apple pie brings more respect and love than a shiny new car. “These are the things that made me want to have a farm, even though I knew nothing about it,” he noted. Now, 18 years after he, along with his wife, Dr. Lori Adcock and their young daughter, Thea, located their initial acreage, a beautiful old (1787) 214-acre hill farm near Brattleboro Vt., Dr. Cooper is living his dream of owning a beef farm and enjoying the challenges that have been far greater than he could have ever imagined. Deeply rooted with a mission to raise and produce the finest quality, healthiest beef in a way that is humane and respectful of the animals in their care, while simultaneously protecting and improving their land and the greater environment, Mountain Meadows Farm has come a long way since 1996 when the first registered open Charolais heifers arrived at the farm. Purchased from Mary Howe diZerega, former president of the

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

“It really started in the mind and dreams, not with property, family or generations of farmers,” says Dr. Amiel Cooper

American International Charolais Association, those 20 Oakdale Farm heifers from Upperville, Va. and a registered black Angus bull from Wehrmann Angus ignited the Charolais x Angus crossbreeding program that quickly blazed past Dr. Cooper’s original “small farm concept” into a growing herd that utilizes nearly 3,000 acres of pasture, hay and farmland in mid-Vermont’s majestic Champlain Valley. In recent years, Charolais females have been selected from DeBruycker Charolais, Montana, Macy Meadows, Maryland, and Sleepy Valley Farm, New Jersey. Now, setting his goal at 450 momma cows, Dr. Cooper is quick to praise the efforts of Farm Manager Brian Kemp. “I’m the dreamer…he’s the person on the ground that knows every cow, every blade of grass,” explained Dr. Cooper. “The idea of sustainability and organic practices was there right from the beginning. The primary goal was never financial and Brian has understood, appreciated and upheld these practices.” Likening himself to the “Godfather”, the doctor who was accustomed to spending hours of his time at the microscope and researching cancer cells, was more than willing to put a lot of

resources into a farm to build up something he could be proud of and that would hopefully allow him to someday recoup a portion of his investment. “Brian’s coming on board in 2006 was a major event and we’ve made enormous progress. We set out from day one to have a terminal crossbreeding program with retained ownership all the way to the final certified organic beef product, said Dr. Cooper. “There are many people in this region interested in organic foods.” Mountain Meadows Farm provides a constant supply of certified organic beef to Whole Foods Market, the world’s leading natural and organic foods supermarket retailer, which in turn distributes the beef to 20 stores scattered from New York to southern New England. “Selling to Whole Foods Market has enabled us to concentrate on the production and wholesale marketing of our organic beef,” Dr. Cooper added. “We don’t have to worry about advertising and sales in the regards that most beef producers do, and we have an enthusiastic market. A vast amount of our time and resources are put into enlarging, perfecting and improving our operation.”

While 95 percent of the feed source at Mountain Meadows is pasture, haylage, baled hay and corn silage, calves are started on a small amount of mixed organic grain at weaning and receive increasing amounts until they reach optimum slaughter weight. The mix of grass legume haylage and certified organic grain from Canada is working well. “We are currently feeding a mixed grain ration of field peas, wheat and barley or oats which gives us a more affordable blend of feed,” said Kemp, noting the cost for organic corn and wheat has more than doubled over the past year. While most of the cropland is in high quality grass-clover-alfalfa which performs well in the clay soil with Vermont’s high rainfall average, Kemp has planted 25 acres of summer wheat this year, hoping to cut back on organic grain expenses. Corn silage, or in a really good year, corn snaplage is harvested from 140-150 acres of corn planted annually for feeder calves and to supplement fall calving cows when extra energy is needed. “Currently our finished group is eating 14 pounds of grain per day along with silage/haylage,” added Kemp, noting that winter months require the amount of grain to be increased. The calves “finish with good marbling and good fat cover that we would not be able to get with 100% grass fed beef.” “We average a 750-pound hot carcass weight,” Kemp said of the beef harvest which usually comes at 18 to 24 months of age. “Calves are finished and then transported about 45 miles to slaughter. Amiel takes care of where the product goes, whether it is boxed primal or quartered and it is then delivered to the Whole Foods Market Distribution Center in Cheshire, Conn.” While following organic growing practices that withstand stringent inspections across all areas of production, Dr. Cooper and Kemp agree that utilizing quality genetics is one of the single most important factors in their success. “Genetics have been as much a concern as all of our other production techniques,” expressed Dr. Cooper. “We chose to have crossbreeding, using Angus bulls on Charolais females and viceversa. We like this cross very much and the vast majority of our female breeding stock is registered. We pay great attention to our selection of Charolais and Angus bulls based on enhanced EPDs, fertility indications and structural features required for working longevity. We are very proud of the group of bulls we purchased from the National Western (selected a bull from King Ranch, N.M. in 2013, and other national auctions (selected a bull from Macy Meadows, at the Virginia Superior Sale). and private treaty sales. It’s not cheap, but we feel genetics are terribly important 86 

J U N E / J U L Y 2013

and pay for themselves through excellent mothering, growth and carcass quality.” Dr. Cooper knew the Charolais breed very well from visiting France, so choosing to start his beef herd with Charolais was easy. However, he also credits the luck of finding Mary diZerega as one of the most influential factors leading to the emerging success of Mountain Meadows Farm. Mrs. diZerega, who passed away in 2002, was prominent within the Charolais breed and the Virginia Cattlemen’s Association, having been named AICA Seedstock Producer of the Year in 1995, Virginia Cattleman of the Year in 1996 and inducted posthumously into the AICA Hall of Fame in 2003. “She was instrumental in teaching me,” Dr. Cooper quickly injected. “She would supply me with Charolais females and we would get excellent Angus bulls. This article should be dedicated to her memory because 17 years ago I don’t think I knew a steer from a heifer.” “The Charolais x Angus are very durable and prolific animals,” chided Kemp. “They hold up a little longer in the breeding program and are phenomenal animals themselves. Heterosis is very important in an organic program where antibiotics and many other medications cannot be used and we rely on natural hardiness and an excellent immune system, often enhanced in crossbred calves.” Noting the cross results in cattle that feature a good balance of frame, great temperament and high producing mothers with rich colostrum, Kemp and Dr. Cooper are looking at retaining F-1 females with the goal of producing more of their own replacements. “Some of the nicest calves we wean each year are from these F-1s,” said Kemp. Mountain Meadows is living testament to the commitment Dr. Cooper has toward stewardship, the environment and healthy living. Always looking forward to learning from others and sharing their own experiences, he and Brian are quick to bid a warm-hearted welcomed to their little portion of Vermont near Lake Champlain where Mountain Meadows and a robust herd of Charolais-based cattle thrives, doing its part daily to ensure the future of agriculture. “We’ve steadily become better and better,” exclaimed Dr. Cooper. However, noting a long “wish list” of things to do, “We’re certainly not going to rest on our laurels.” Increasing the cow herd to 450 tops the list of farm goals along with the possibility of branding their beef. But one thing is for sure, all will be done with the ultimate concern and care for the land and those that partake of its bounties.

Mountain Meadows

Receives 2012 AICA Environmental Stewardship Award

Brian Kemp, Manager, has been responsible for extensive improvements and environmental awards since joining Mountain Meadows Farm 7 years ago.

Under a USDA-CREP program, 100 acres bordering the extensive “Lemon Fair” waterway, which flows into Lake Champlain, have been fenced off and trees planted to provide a protective buffer zone.

To replace water from the Lemon Fair, a 700 ft deep artesian well, powered by solar panels, was placed on central high ground and gravity feeds drinking troughs in the surrounding rotated pastures.

Named recipient of the 2012 AICA Environmental Stewardship Award, Mountain Meadows Farms goes above and beyond when it comes to protecting the environment. While being chosen for the award was based largely on their extreme environmental efforts to protect the extensive Lemon Fair waterway that passes through the farm and empties into Lake Champlain, Dr. Amiel Cooper and Manager Brian Kemp dedicate their daily farm work to ensuring long-term viability not only for the farming operation, but for all those who are affected in any way by their practices. From its inception in 1996, Mountain Meadows has been certified organic by the National Organic Farmers Association of Vermont, completing detailed annual applications and undergoing rigorous on-farm inspections. A key emphasis of sustainable farming is meticulous care for the environment. Working closely with local agencies such as the USDANRCS, University of Vermont Extension, the EPA, Fish and Wildlife and the Vermont Department of Agriculture, the farm not only maintains awareness, but carries out stringent practices to secure the quality and sustainability of the land, water and air. A major environmental project included creating buffer zones for the Lemon Fair waterway, fencing cattle away from the streams that trickle into Otter Creek, which in turn flows directly into Lake Champlain. Buffering nearly 100 acres with 10 miles of fencing now helps to secure the future of one of Vermont’s most treasured natural resources. To replace this source of water, Mountain Meadows cattle grazing multiple pastures along the Lemon Fair are watered from a deep Artesian well powered by solar panels. As farm manager at Mountain Meadows, Brian Kemp has been recognized by many local, regional and state organizations for excellent management practices and his extensive experience with a variety of environmentallyfriendly practices make him a favored consultant for many groups. “In some ways we’re one of Vermont’s model farms to show what can be achieved,” said Dr. Cooper of their continuing efforts. Mountain Meadows was also awarded the Otter Creek Natural Resource Conservation Farmer of the Year Award in 2011 and as recipients of the AICA award, have been nominated for the 2013 National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s Environmental Stewardship Award for Region 1.

A large twin structured winter shelter with central feed lane and abundant open air free space for 350 mother cows and 100 Fall calves was environmentally designed with NRCS consultation. CHAROLAIS JOURNAL
