CHAROLAIS Listen & Learn

RSVP today.

he inaugural Listening & Learning Industry Session will launch the first of a series of educational opportunities for registered and commercial beef producers interested in or currently using Charolais genetics. The sessions are designed to explore each beef industry production sector. The speakers have been chosen based on a combination of experience and knowledge. Each are professionals focused on improving beef cattle from beginning to end of the food chain that supplies a discriminating consumer with many protein choices. The first of anything typically requires extraordinary planning. The simple question we continued to ask ourselves during the planning process was, is it relevant? Our goal was to identify participants with the experience and knowledge base to challenge attendees to consider what makes money, what is sustainable and what happens if nothing changes. The first Listening & Learning Session is scheduled to begin

education and research center provides a controlled environment for industry advancing research. Hy-Plains Feedyard uses multiple data points to gather information on every animal entering the feeding phase. Hy-Plains uses modern risk management tools and a lifetime of experience to maximize high performing cattle to a profitable end point. Metzger and Jones will discuss the opportunities to capture more value by understanding the risk and rewards of retaining ownership. Oklahoma State University Meat Science Professor, Gretchen Mafi, will share the important work being done to discover more innovative, tender, tasty and affordable beef cuts. The discovery of cuts such as flat iron and petite tenders result in more pounds of saleable red meat and more affordable meat case options for consumers. Charolais’ higher yielding carcasses play and important role in this value discovery. Possibly one of the most important questions to be asked and

Each are professionals focused on improving beef cattle from beginning to end of the food chain that supplies a discriminating consumer with many protein choices. Wednesday, September 13, at the Noble Research Institute, Ardmore, Okla. Larry Ludeke, AICA Board of Directors President, will welcome the group shortly after 8:00 AM. After opening remarks, the full day begins. AICA consultants, Bill Bowman and Sally Northcutt, kick off the morning sessions discussing genetic predictions and opportunities to use genomic information to make cow herd improvements. In the 1990s, the Bowman-Northcutt team was largely responsible for the very first beef industry indexes that considered multiple performance traits and economic weighting based on market signals. Today, Bill and Sally work with progressive registered and commercial cowcalf producers to manage risk by maximizing accurate genomic information. Next on the program are three commercial cow-calf producers, all using Charolais genetics in their beef operations. Max Martin, Loving, Texas; Barron U. Kidd, Dallas, Texas; and Rusty Daniel, Coleman, Okla., will share their management skills, business models and marketing strategies designed to capture added value. Dennis Metzger, Superior Livestock, is a familiar face to Charolais as well as across the beef industry. Metzger has assisted in the marketing of Charolais genetics for decades. Tom Jones, Hy-Plains Feedyard, Montezuma, Kan., operates one of the most progressive cattle feeding operations in the U.S. Hy-Plains recently opened the doors on the Hy-Plains Education & Research Center. The

answered is why should commercial cattlemen utilize Charolais genetics? Three registered seedstock producers with decades of success using Charolais genetics will discuss. Kansas producers, Galen Fink, Fink Beef Genetics and Vern Suhn, Genetrust, along with Michael Sturgess, Double S Cattle Co., Texas, will share their perspectives relative to genetic selection, technology and customer service, all in an effort to add value in a very competitive beef marketing system. The first Listening & Learning event will conclude with a question and answer session with a combined line-up of the day’s speakers. Beef production across the U.S. provides a myriad of geographic challenges. Short grass in the Southwest, fescue in the Midwest, Bermuda grass in the Southeast, native grasses in the Flint Hills, Sand Hills, and the Dakotas all challenge beef producers differently. Input costs vary, feed efficiency is often influenced by extreme weather and market access present different management scenarios across the country. AICA plans to host the Listening & Learning Sessions in different parts of the country to consider those geographic issues that make beef production unique. We encourage you to watch for details in the future. If you can join us Septemer 13, RSVP to Cody Beck, AICA Southwest Representive (765) 719-1622, cbeck@charolaisusa. com.

AICA Listening & Learning Industry Session

AmericanInternational Charolais Association The AICA is the official registry for Charolais and Charbray cattle in the United States. Charolais cattle were first brought to the U.S. in 1936. In 1957, the American Charolais Breeders Association and the International Charolais Breeders Association merged forming the present AICA. Membership in the AICA is obtainable when the applicant has ownership in at least one animal, and has paid the initial membership fee of $125. AICA annual dues are $100.

S E P T E M B E R 2017

The inaugural AICA Listening & Learning Industry Session is to be held Wednesday, September 13, 2017 at the Noble Research Institute, Ardmore, Okla. This event will feature an opportunity for producers and industry stakeholders to discuss the value of innovation and the most effective ways of utilizing Charolais genetics in today’s beef industry. More information on page 46. Fall AICA Board of Directors Meeting, October 25-26

The AICA Fall Board of Director and Committee Meetings will be held Wednesday, October 25 and Thursday, October 26 at the Argosy Casino Hotel & Spa, Riverside, Missouri. Join fellow Charolais breeders Thursday evening for beverages and hors d’oeuvres at The Shindig held at the AICA office. A complete schedule of meetings is on page 48. Advertising Deadline

The deadline to place advertising in the November 2017 Charolais Journal is September 25. The deadline to place advertising in the Winter 2018 Charolais Edge is November 20. Contact your field representative about these and other advertising opportunities. AICA DNA Requirements

AI Sires used “out of herd” and all Donor Dams must be DNA tested before calves can be registered. AICA recommends collecting DNA samples during the donor’s initial flush. Check the animal’s record to make sure the DNA work has been done before submitting registration papers. DNA kits are specific to the animal being tested. Contact Marilou Wegner to request a kit. AICA rules require signatures on bulls and dams you do not own. Signatures can be submitted online, fax, mail or e-mail. CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

Sales of Bred Females

Females sold bred must have all breeding information included to complete the transfer. Service date and appropriate sire signatures are necessary.

Link Your Herd Management Package to AICA

ASSOCIATION STAFF

AICA has launched a new service that provides the framework to allow on-farm herd management computer software to exchange data with the AICA office. By using this service, breeders can avoid entering data in to both their local software and AICA’s online system. The software package would send AICA the data. If you wish to take advantage of this new service, ask your software vendor to contact AICA.

north@charolaisusa.com

Features of the Online Registration System

AICA’s online system has several newly enhanced features. Log in with your breeder number and password and you’ll find additional reports listed under the “My Reports” tab. The new Sire/Dam Performance Summary gives options to print lifetime records on individual animals or all active sires and or dams. You also have the option to get reports by calving year. Many other reports are available including performance reports and ultrasound reports. Ultrasound barn sheets can be generated using the report function. You have the option to print barn sheets by calving year or by individual animals. Printing quick copies of individual certificates is another useful enhancement of the “reports” function. Members use the Herd EPD reports to keep up on the most current numbers for the animals in their herd. This list can be sorted by sex and listed in several different orders. There is also the option to choose a birth date range. Under the “tools” tab, you will find a new “Data Export” button. This data export gives you the flexibility to export data on animals in your herd and use those data files in your own management packages. You can download and save the files directly to your computer in a CSV (can be opened in Excel) format. There are many options within this feature including selecting the type of animal to export and specific data. AICA Mail

AICA no longer gets mail at the post office box. Please make sure all correspondence to AICA or the Charolais Journal is addressed to: 11700 NW Plaza Circle, Kansas City, MO 64153.

Ranching in

BIG COUNTRY

By Heather Smith Thomas

ost purebred breeders keep their cattle close at hand where they can be closely monitored for breeding, calving, feeding, etc. There are a few breeders, however, who raise seedstock in bigger pastures and rougher conditions, similar to the conditions their customers’ cattle run in. Jim Anspach has been raising registered Charolais cattle since 1989. His cows run on about 100,000 deeded acres in eastern Oregon. “We run 350 mother cows on that land and allocate about 250 acres per cow for 10 months of grazing. That’s what we get by with, due to lack of water sources. There’s not much stock water in this part of the world and this limits where cattle can graze,” he says. Most of the springs are undeveloped, in areas that are difficult to get to. Most of those springs will handle about a dozen pair on a daily basis, being natural small basins where the water comes out of the ground. Only about 8 springs have been developed, on all that rangeland. Headquarters on the John Day River is 1300 feet elevation, with 350 acres of irrigated ground where hay is put up for the cows. When the cattle go to grass they may go up to about 6000 feet at the back of the ranch, into timbered country. Grass in the high country stays green into July whereas lower regions dry out quicker. The cattle only go to the timbered area every other year; half the ranch is rested each year.

All of this country is rocky, especially along the rivers, with a lot of rim rock. “In our region once you get out of the rim rocks it’s very steep, broken terrain. On our ranch if you are not going uphill you are going downhill; there is very little flat ground once you leave the river except for a few little creek bottoms that might be flat for a quarter mile. Most creeks and draws have no bottom, however; your horse’s feet are going uphill and his hind feet are still coming downhill when you cross those draws,” says Anspach. “We fall calve, which works best for us. We spring calved when we moved to this country, but due to the growing season when we have vegetative, green feed (only 60 to 90 days a year), it didn’t work as well. We calved in March and April and our grass starts growing end of February or first of March. Cows were calving during green-up and with all that good feed they had big udders, milking too much for young calves to handle. Baby calves aren’t eating much grass yet, so it wasn’t an efficient use of grass. By the time calves got big enough to eat much grass, it was dried up, so we switched to fall calving.” Another reason for the switch was for easier breed-up. Even though the cows only use about half the ranch every other year, it’s still a large area with cows scattered out over about 70 square miles. This made it challenging to get them all bred. There might be 6 cows at one spring and 8 at another, and a lot of distance for bulls to travel. continued on page 42

Directors By Area Area 1 Madison Andrade San Juan Bautista, CA (408) 888-4906

i everyone, my name is Trisha Dybdal. I am 16 years old and live in the rural area near Newcastle, Nebraska. I was born and raised on a family farm and ranch with a 300 head Charolais herd. This fall I will be a junior at Cedar Catholic High School in Hartington, Nebraska. I have been a member of the Nebraska Junior Charolais Association (NJCA) since I was 8 years old and currently serve as the Vice-President and a Junior Ambassador. The NJCA has given me the chance to meet other Charolais Juniors across the state and serving as a Junior Ambassador lets me interact with the adult association while working the ring during state Charolais Shows. I attended my first AIJCA Charolais Junior Nationals when I was 8 years old. This will be the 8th Junior National Show and Conference that I will be participating in.

Q: How did you become involved in the Charolais breed?

A: I was fortunate and lucky to be born into the Charolais

Nebraska adult association. With new interest in Juniors, the current members are able to market more animals, which helps them showcase their herd. There has also been a growth in Charolais cross market steers and heifers.

Q: What was your favorite show heifer? A: My favorite show animal was my bull calf LKD

Bubba. He was out of one of my good show heifers that came from the Shawk family in Ohio. I was Nebraska State Fair Champion FFA Freshman Showman with her. She produced LKD Bubba. I showed him at the Cedar County Fair bringing home Champion stocker feeder and at Nebraska State Fair receiving Reserve Champion Charolais Bull. That next spring he was the highest selling bull on our sale. He is now producing calves near Bassett, Nebraska.

Q: What is it like being a junior board member in high school?

breed. Dybdal Charolais was well established before me and as soon as I was able to show, I started to grow my own herd. The Charolais world is truly like a family whether it is on the state or national level. I am glad I have been given the opportunity to be a part of this family.

A: Being voted on the board is a very exciting for me. I have always looked up to the board members. Being a younger member is a good opportunity for me to learn from the older members. It also gives me great leadership opportunities at a younger age.

Q: What traits do you think are most important

Q: Where do you see yourself down the road? A: Now as a junior in high school, I plan on attending

to the Charolais breed?

A: I think that the performance is an important trait. It is necessary for pure bred and cross bred herds alike. This is a trait that takes time to achieve and keep consistent. Studying your herd is very essential to achieve a strong performance trait. Q: What influences do you see the Charolais Junior National having on our breed?

A: After being a part of hosting Junior Nationals in Nebraska twice, I have seen first hand the positive effects. I have watched how the numbers in the Nebraska Jr. Association has grown as well as an increase in the 32â&#x20AC;&#x192; î ş

S E P T E M B E R 2017

college and going into an Ag Marketing area. I still want to be involved the Charolais breed and continue to grow my herd.

Q: If you were on a desolate island and could only bring tree things, what would they be?

A: I would bring a knife to get food and be able to cut trees for firewood and shelter. A pan to be able to boil water and cook food. After about a week of vacation and relaxation on this island, I would use my third item, I would bring a sufficiently fueled boat to get off the island, because there are too many calves to be worked to be stuck on an island any longer.

moved around and adjusted very well. “The hardest on them was when I took them to the coast. It was so wet, and that grass was washy. It doesn’t have nearly as much nutrition as these bunch grasses in drier country,” he says. His daughter Madison’s husband Kale Haberman is the only employee. Madison and Kale take care of everything; Anspach is often gone from home. “I contract a lot of cattle for AgriBeef and run grass cattle on the Oregon coast with a friend in a stocker program. I also have commercial cow-calf pairs on the west side of the Cascades near Oak Ridge. I also try to get around to most of my bull customers’ places, to buy their calves or contract their calves. It takes a lot of time and traveling so Madison and Kale take care of things here and do a good job. She helps with irrigation on the fields along the river and helps gather cattle to wean calves.” The cattle mainly take care of themselves. “We turn them out in late February although it was the first of March this year because we had a horrible winter. We don’t generally wait for spring green-up to turn out because we always have old grass. If another blade of grass never grew on this ranch we could run here for 3 more years, with all the grass we have,” he says. The cows migrate around the ranch on their own. When people come to the ranch and want to see the cows, the best time is during winter (breeding season) when the cows are all down. “Otherwise, we drive through the center of the place in a pickup and look around. It’s a 7 hour drive and we can see only about half the place and a few cows here and there. Some days you might run into 30, 40 or 50 cows, but other days you might only see 5 or 6,” says Anspach. Generally he takes people out there on a 4-wheeler side-byside to make that loop because it’s hard on a pickup. “We can only trailer about 13 miles into the ranch with a stock trailer to one of our main traps where we catch calves and haul them out. From there to the back of the place is another 10 to 15 miles and you can’t take a trailer. The trails are too skinny and rough.” One thing he likes about Charolais cattle in this hot, dry country is that they are a lot more heat-tolerant than black cattle. At one time he had 300 registered Angus cows also, and they ran with the white ones except during breeding season. The black ones had a harder time. When people saw cattle on the mountain they always asked: why are all the white ones at the top and black ones on the bottom? “The black cattle couldn’t keep up with the white ones in this environment. They are good rough country cattle, but when it starts getting hot they couldn’t handle it as well. The Charolais would be out grazing 45 minutes longer in the morning. The black ones would go to shade, and stay in the shade longer. We got about 1½ hours more grazing per animal unit per day with Charolais than we did with the black cattle,” he says. His cattle travel a long way in this big country. I found some of my bred heifers one day when I came through the mountains on a dirt road, 30 miles from headquarters. They were on part of another ranch that I lease. They weren’t supposed to be there, but they were there as calves with their mothers the year before. They looked good, even after being on dry feed for 60 days; they looked as fat as if they’d been on corn.” The right kind of purebred cattle can handle country as rough as any commercial cattle.

VALLEY VIEW CHAROLAIS

- Buddy Westphal, (Valley View Charolais Ranch, near Polson, Montana), has been raising Purebred Charolais cattle in big country for nearly 50 years. He says challenging conditions provide a more accurate perspective about what the cattle can actually do and how they will perform in the real world when he sells them as two-year-old breeding bulls. If ranchers are running 2000 cows in big range conditions, they need bulls that can cover the ground and hold up to do the job. “Feedlot-fattened yearling bulls can’t handle it as well,” he says. After standing in a feedlot eating corn and silage, they are not in physical condition to travel large pastures and complete a breeding assignment. They often melt and fall apart when they go out with the cows and try to cover that much country; they have never climbed a mountain. Bulls raised in big country know they may have to travel a mile to water. They learn a lot when raised in the mountains, on the desert, or in extra-large pastures. Westphal’s cattle graze mountain pastures and strategic use of salt/mineral or protein tubs can encourage them to graze areas they might not otherwise. “Tubs are a management tool that can be very helpful. We can bait and lead cattle to certain areas rather than have to push them with horses and riders out there all the time,” he says. It is great if you can let the cattle do their own thing and not have to babysit them all the time. “Many Charolais cattle are raised in confined areas on irrigated pastures. The breeder might own a total of 200 acres and 50 cows, and it’s very intensive compared to a big range

You certainly don’t want to market an on public land, and want me to deliver bulls to them early in the under-performing bull to a customer and lose his business (and year so they can breed their cows before they go out there.

NEWS NOTES

AICA MEMBERSHIP Obituary

Annie “Ann” Laura Franz passed away Wednesday, July 19, 2017 surrounded by family at the Sidney Health Center in Sidney, Mont. following a few short stays due to deteriorating health. Ann was born April 11, 1933 in Enterprise, AL, the Boll Weevil Monument Town, to Ira L. and Annie “Dovie” (Horsley) Adkins. Her grandfather Adkins farm was in the center of what during WWII became and is still Fort Rucker in Alabama. Annie’s family lived and worked in cotton mills and lived in cotton mill villages in south eastern Alabama until moving to Ft. Mead, Fla. in 1944 when she was 11 years old. There she finished grade school and high school. Her graduating class of 1952 became a very close-knit class from then on and she returned home to Florida to attend several of the reunions. In 1955 Ann, on a blind date, met a recently discharged White Hat from the US Navy originally from Sidney, Mont., Ray Franz. The two were married on St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, 1956, in the Church of God in Ft. Mead, Fla. Later that year they moved to Sidney, Mont. where Ray worked on the Family Farm as well as construction. They returned to Florida in 1957, to work in phosphate mining and construction. When the recession ended the work there in 1958, they returned once again to Sidney, where they 64 

S E P T E M B E R 2017

purchased the family farm and began a lifetime of farming and ranching. On March 17th of this year they celebrated 61 years of wedded “bliss”. Together they raised 3 boys and 2 girls. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were her heart and soul. Ann is survived by: her husband, Ray; her children, Patricia A. (Steve) Bright of Sidney, Jon A. Franz of Sidney, Janice Sue (Jerry) Klempel of Lambert, Mont., David A. (Liz) Franz of Wibaux, Mont., Kenneth L. (Lynn) Franz of Lewistown, Mont.; her grandchildren, Jeremy Klempel, Jason Klempel, Joseph Klempel, Shana (Franz) Brophy, JaNae (Klempel) Sansaver, Julie (Franz) Walz, Melissa (Franz) Kostelecky, Brittany Bright, James Franz, Laura Franz, Annie Franz, Michaela Bright, Hannah Franz; and 17 greatgrandchildren with 3 more to arrive before the summer ends. Ann is preceded in death by: an infant brother; her mother and father; her mother and father-in-law, Fred and Ethel Franz; her sister, Geraldine “Jerry” (Adkins) Coleman; great-granddaughter, Sienna Rogers; brothers, James Adkins and Homer Adkins; her “special sister” (sister-in-law), JoAnn Franz; and sister-in-law Leona (Franz) Gibson.
