It’s hard enough coming up with titles to my weekly columns but to have to name 500 or 1,000 cattle every year would drive me even more crazy. And because I’ve always hated my name I’d be super sensitive about the names my animals would have to live with. A breeder’s name or initials are usually worked into the name such as Sitz, Connealy, SAV, or Tehama. With a name like Pitts I was’t meant to play this game. My cattle named Peaches of Pitts, Pitts of Gold, or Underarms of Pitts would be the laughing stock of the cow business. I don’t know how big outfits come up with 2,000 names every year. They must have a Vice President of Monikers whose only job is think up names. I’ve noticed some outfits use a different theme every year, like names of tractors, states, colors, Presidents or diseases such as ABC Eisenhower or XYZ Strangles. After you add in a herd number some of the names end up longer than the animal itself. But beef names are still not as pompous as the names of dairy cows. I am a simple guy who likes a short song, simply sung, so when

You read a name like Bohnheur Abbekerkm Posch and you wonder if the name-dropping dairyman speaks English. The only stockman who are worse spellers than dairymen are Thoroughbred horse breeders. For example, some of the horses originally entered in this year’s Belmont Stakes were Frammento, Materiality and Mubtaaij. What’s up with that? It makes you wonder if a Thoroughbred breeder ever won the Spelling Bee in school. Even American Pharaoh was misspelled. (The Triple Crown winner’s name should be spelled Pharoah.) Horse breeders are also fond of running their words together like Fuggedaboutit and Madefromlucky. Are they missing
the space bar on their computer keyboards down at racehorseheadquarters? Or maybe it’s because there are just too many rules in naming race horses. You can only use up to 18 spaces including spaces and punctuation, you can’t use anything vulgar, dirty or in bad taste with no abbreviations or trade names. And it can’t be offensive to religious, political or ethnic groups. In the politically-correct world we live in no wonder horse breeders have to make up their own words! Another thing I don’t like about naming race horses is you have to submit six names and the Jockey Club will then pick one of the six for you. How would you like to have the current bureaucracy pick your child’s name for you? You could end up with a son named ObamaBear.

Cow/Calf Corner International Trade Role Looms Larger For Cattle, Beef Markets By Derrell S. Peel, OSU Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist Markets work best and most efficiently not by stopping and starting abruptly but by gently tapping the brakes or the accelerator as conditions change. International trade of cattle and beef is a significant buffer that reduces drastic market swings in U.S. markets. In 2014 and 2015, record high U.S. prices, reduced supplies had the expected effect of stimulating beef imports and cattle imports while retarding beef exports. A strong U.S. dollar exaggerated those effects both ways. Increased beef imports augmented supplies of beef, especially supplies of lean processing beef (primarily for ground beef) and moderated what would have been an even more extreme impact on domestic demand in a period of record prices. Beef exports decreased as record high prices rationed demand in both the domestic and international markets. Increased beef production and lower prices in 2016 is reversing those impacts. Beef exports are recovering, albeit rather slowly and unevenly. July beef exports were up 8 percent to all destinations. Year to date beef exports are up 3.1 percent with year over year increases to Japan, Mexico and South Korea. Exports to Canada and Hong Kong are still down year over year though Hong Kong posted a year over year increase for the month of July. The dollar has moderated against several currencies, the Japanese Yen in particular, but still represents a headwind for beef exports. Beef imports were down 6.8 percent for the month of July with the year to date total down 12.1 percent. Imports from Australia have been down sharply every month this year and are down 31.2 percent for the first seven months this year. Beef imports
from Australia increased the most the past two years as record high U.S. prices coincided with drought forced liquidation in Australia that increased short run beef production. Imports have also decreased from Brazil for the latest monthly data and for the year to date. Other beef import flows are in flux with Mexico down in July but still up for the year to date. By contrast New Zealand, Nicaragua, and Uruguay were all up in July but are still down for the year. Beyond short term market conditions, trade flows are impacted by longer term conditions in various countries and structural changes that alter the long term trajectory of beef and cattle trade flows. For example, China has emerged as the second largest beef importer in recent years as consumption exceeds beef production; making China a global beef market participant for the first time. The U.S. does not yet have direct access to the Chinese market but the impacts are already evident in global markets and are expected to continue to grow. Closer to home, Mexico’s growth in beef production and processing and growing exports has a number of direct impacts on the U.S. market. In 2015, roughly 90 percent of Mexican beef imports moved to the U.S. making Mexico the fourth largest source of beef imports in the U.S. At the same time, increased demand for Mexican cattle in Mexico is reducing the flow of Mexican feeder cattle to the U.S. Cattle imports from Mexico were down 54.1 percent year over year in July and are down 20.9 percent for the year date. This is likely a permanent or at least, long-lived decrease in Mexican cattle exports. Decreased beef imports and growing beef exports will play a central role in stabilizing cattle and beef prices in the U.S. as production expands in the coming years. Along with domestic beef demand, international demand for U.S. beef will determine just how big the U.S. beef industry needs to be as it grows. More than just total tonnage, beef exports and imports
are critical in balancing the supply and demand of specific beef products. This helps maximize the value of every beef carcass in the U.S. market.
Are the Replacement Heifers Ready for Fall Breeding Season? By Glenn Selk, OSU Emeritus Extension Animal Specialist Fall-calving herds will be breeding replacement heifers in late November. Now is the time to make certain that those heifers are ready for the upcoming breeding season. Immunize the heifers. Ask your large animal veterinarian about proper immunizations for yearling replacement heifers. Replacement heifers should be immunized for respiratory diseases such as IBR and BVD. Consider giving the heifers a modified live vaccine for longer lasting protection against these viruses. The heifers should receive this vaccination at least one month before the start of the breeding season. This would also be a good time to include other reproductive disease protection that may be recommended by your veterinarian. Examples of other immunizations that should be considered include leptospirosis and campylobacter (sometimes called vibriosis). If a set of scales is available, weigh the heifers. There is time to make adjustments to the supplementation being fed to the heifers to insure that they meet the target weight at the start of the breeding season. To be certain that a high percentage of heifers are cycling at the start of the breeding season, they must weigh a minimum of 60% of their mature weight (Davis and Wettemann). See OSU Research Report 2009. If these heifers will eventually grow into 1200 pound cows, then they must weigh 720 at the beginning of the estrous synchronization and artificial insemination (or bull turn-out if natural breeding is used). Calculate the weight gain needed between now and the start of the breeding
season to see if additional energy is required to achieve the desired weight gain. Many small cow calf operations will not have scales available to monitor weight gain. The next best
evaluation tool is to monitor body condition of the heifers. If all of the heifers are in a body condition score of 6 (based on the 1 to 9 BCS system) then they should meet the desired target weight.

Protect Cattle from Dangers Around the Farm By Dr. Jane Parish Ext. Beef Cattle Specialist Most cattle operators work hard to care for their livestock. They provide cattle with proper nutrients, vaccinations, assistance at difficult calvings, and the list goes on and on. Keeping cattle in good condition, healthy, and productive also means protecting cattle from dangers in pastures, pens, handling facilities, trailers, and other places cattle encounter. There are many potential dangers to cattle that should not be overlooked. Obvious culprits are fuel storage tanks, batteries, and other items that, if accessible to cattle, could allow them to consume
harmful chemicals. Lead poisoning from old batteries is one example of this. Chemical containers can become corroded, rusted, cracked, weakened by sunlight exposure, weathered, physically damaged, or otherwise compromised. Cattle may then contact chemical contents directly from these containers or from leakage into the environment. Some chemicals can poison cattle with only small quantities consumed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin or mucous membranes. Metal fragments and other shared objects present another danger to cattle. Not only can these items injure cattle by cutting or puncturing them, but they can also cause hardware

disease if swallowed. Inspect cattle handling areas, barns, and fences closely for protruding nails. Loose barbed wire can ensnare an animal’s legs causing injury. Cattle can even create their own hazards by tearing up otherwise intact items such as metal hay feeding rings. When removing old fencing or other farm structures, be sure to properly dispose of the materials. This includes even the small items like nails and fencing staples that could become lodged in an animal’s foot. Buried materials may become exposed over time with soil erosion or dirt work. The locations of these materials are sometimes unknown to the cattle producer, especially on rented property or owned land without extensive landowner knowledge of previous land use. Flooding and strong winds during severe weather can create new risks to cattle. Flooding can erode soils and carry debris. Strong winds can bring in hazards from surrounding areas. They can also create hazards by damaging structures or equipment on the property. Be especially observant of areas accessible to cattle after severe weather. In addition to chemical and metal hazards, some plastic items can pose a health risk to cattle. Plastic hay twine or wrap can entangle the legs of cattle. It may also be eaten by them. Plastic items damaged by sunlight or force can crack and break into pieces with sharp edges that may pierce cattle that contact them. Equipment and trailers in poor repair can be hazardous to both the operators and cattle. Slick trailer, ramp, or alley flooring can lead to cattle slipping and falling. Leg and other injuries can also result if flooring that is not sturdy enough to support cattle weight. Unsecured gates or panels can fall when bumped and can land on top of or trip an animal. Poorly designed cattle handling facilities are particularly dangerous to both cattle and handlers. For instance, places where cattle may get their legs or heads caught and stuck can lead to broken bones or suffocation. Protrusions into areas of cattle flow can bruise or cut cattle. Investment in efficient and effective cattle handling facilities with safety as a top design feature is vital. Continued on page 13

Continued from page 3 ers may have too few. Some of the popular bulls in the club calf business are Ali, Monopoly, Hard Core, I Da Man, Daddy’s Money, Card Shark, Cash Flow, Swagger, Womanizer, Eye Candy, Walk This Way, Choppin’ Wood, Salty Dog, Man Among Boys and Who Made Who. I don’t know Who Made Who but I do know that I like these names better than dairy cow names such as Johanna Rag Apple Pabst or Merkley Starbuck Whitney. Those snooty sound more like residents of Cape Cod, Palm Beach or Beverly Hills than they do cows. Not that the club calf breeders don’t have their own problems. Without any rules you end up with a Smilin’ Bob and a Smokin’ Bob. I don’t know if Bob is smilin’ or smokin’ but it could be confusing when you go to order semen. You may have also noticed that If horse breeders are missing the space bar on their keyboards, club calf breeders seem to be missing the “g” key, as in Choppin’, Smokin’ and Smilin’. If I ever do become a club calf raiser I’ve already thought up some good names for my million dollar herd sires such as Hubba Hubba, Milk Shake, Miss Demeanor, Future Taco, Holey Moley, Handsome Devil, Goshdangyou, Pitts’ Bedpan, and the best one of all...
