Special Recognition
by Randall Bartley
The Hopkins family—Roy, Kim, Zachary, Jordan, Nathan and Ethan of Winchester received the Tennessee Hereford Association Special Recognition Award for 2017. Roy and Kim have worked as a team for the past seven years serving as the advisors for the Tennessee Junior Hereford Association. During that time, they have worked tirelessly to guide and direct numerous youth activities for the association, to include being directly responsible for hosting two Southeastern Regional Junior Hereford Shows. In his non-cattle life, Roy is currently the business manager for a large engineering

firm, and for the past 13 years, has pastored two different Methodist churches. He is also currently serving as a Director on the Franklin County Farm Bureau. Like Roy, Kim has also stayed very busy. After the birth of their first son, Zackery, Kim gave up her job at Arnold Air Base in Tullahoma, Tennessee, to become a full-time mom. Today she stays busy supervising everyone’s schedules, handling all of the farm’s paperwork to include farm marketing efforts, and mothering four very active young men. Three of the Hopkins are currently college students -- Zachary a veterinary student at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, Jordan at Middle Tennessee State University and Nathan at Vanderbilt University -- and one, Ethan is Continued on Page 10 “ Special”

resident’s Comments by Julie Chapin
SPRING HAS SPRUNG, as they say! One of the best indicators of early spring is our annual TN Agribition sale held each March. Once again it was a sale to be proud of. Despite the uncertainty of the market it was a strong showing from beginning to end. Many folks contributed to this sale. A big thanks to the consignors for always bringing quality entries and to the sale management team. A sale of this quality takes a group effort and to that end it was a sale to be proud of for our association. Just a few reminders of upcoming events that you will want to mark your calendars for. Of course the Hereford Jr. National is coming to our part of the country this year. It will be in Louisville, KY July 15th-21st. For juniors interested in Hereford cattle this is the “super bowl” of junior events. It is so much more than a cattle show. Even if you are not participating with cattle in this year’s event I would encourage both young and old to make the drive and experience this event. It will not disappoint. On August 5th Hereford on the Mountain will be held at the home of our very own field man, Tommy (and Kim) Coley. They graciously open their home to this event and it has grown every year. This year’s event is slated to have

some of the most influential minds currently in the Hereford business. It will be an enjoyable, relaxing afternoon and evening event. Also this summer is our TN State Hereford Show and Jr. Hereford Show. This show has changed location and dates. Mark your calendars for August 18th and 19th. It will be held in conjunction with the Wilson Co Fair in Lebanon, TN. We will have plenty of room and will be enjoying a brand new show ring. Come and enjoy this event. One more item to remember. September 16th will be our Annual Field day. This year Jeremiah and Candace Malone of JM Cattle Co. has agreed to be our host. They are located in the beautiful rolling hills of Giles and Lawrence county. Plan to attend and be a part of this event. Lastly, as I am sure you have noticed we have a little different format to the newsletter. I would encourage all of you reading this to advertise and support it in some way. If you have tried it in the past please give it another chance. If you have never advertised give it a try. This format will reach many more eyes starting now. Special thanks to Glenda Rickman for her many years of dedication to the newsletter. And a big thanks to Kathryn Ingram for taking it over. See you soon!

ly Control Tips
by Dr. Lew Strickland, Extension Veterinarian, Department of Animal Science, University of Tennessee
Now that warm weather has arrived, everyone will start to focus on all the chores that have to be done to “gear” up for the upcoming season, including fly control. Fly infestation reduces performance and the economic loss from each horn fly biting an animal 30 times/day can also be substantial. Certain flies are responsible for spreading diseases such as pink eye and potentially Anaplasmosis and or Bovine Leukosis, so to decrease disease risk to your livestock here are a few tips to reduce the flies’ impact on your farm’s production. -Feed a larvicide or an insect growth regulator early in the season starting 30 days before flies typically emerge. Continue to feed until 30 days after a killing frost. -Pour-ons. During spring turnout time, you can use a product that is labeled to control internal parasites, as these products also have efficacy against horn flies. Later in the year, use products only labeled for flies and/or lice. Using pour-on dewormers multiple times throughout the year could lead to internal parasite resistance issues .

-Dust bags/cattle rubs. The advantage of a dust bag or rub is that, if placed at a site where all cattle must use it (watering trough, mineral lick), it can provide economical control of face and horn flies. Proper placement and keeping it charged with insecticide are the keys. Also, strips that can be mounted to mineral feeders can also be an efficient way to apply insecticide to the face of cattle. -Topical sprays. Timely application of fly sprays or paint ball style packets throughout the year can be effective in reducing the fly population, but can be time-consuming if cattle are grazing an extensive area. -Fly tags. The key to using tags is to wait until you have 200 flies/cow to place the tags. If applied too early, there will be decreased efficiency. Use pyrethroid tags for two consecutive years, then switch to an organophosphate tag for one year to reduce pyrethroid resistance. Also, there are new generation fly tags that contain different insecticides and are quite helpful in quite helpful in controlling fly populations. Always follow label directions on the number of tags/cow. Be sure to remove tags at the end of the season to prevent resistance problems. -Don’t mix classes of chemicals in the pour-ons, topicals, and fly tags within the same year. Use the same class 1-2 years, then rotate. -Fly predators. Not all flies are bad. Fly predators, nature’s own self-inflicted enemy, can be your ally in the fight against pest flies. These are tiny, non-stinging, non-biting wasps that feed on fly larvae and interrupt the breeding cycle of flies, destroying the next generation of flies before they hatch into disease-carrying adults. These predators can be used in areas where cattle tend to congregate and manure tends to accumulate, just apply the predators to manure piles in these areas. Replenish your fly predator supply once a month from April to September; otherwise the fly life cycle will only be broken for a few weeks. A multifaceted approach is best for attaining your goal of “controlling” flies, so using just one strategy from the above list probably won’t give you the results you anticipate.

Junior News
by Jordan Hopkins
With summer quickly approaching, it seems that this year’s upcoming show season is beginning to occupy the dreams and thoughts of our juniors across the state, or at least it is for me. Although our academic performance could take a hit due to our anticipating minds, it is important to prepare for the upcoming show season. With the Southeastern Regionals being held in Montogomery, Alabama June 15th through the 17th and the Junior Nationals being in Louisville, Kentucky July 14th through the 21st, Tennessee juniors have and will be very busy getting their show claves ready for these upcoming junior events. Having grown up with cattle, preparing for many shows, I like to think I have learned a few tips to make the preparation a little easier. Having made about every mistake in the book, I feel I can accurately relay some information, the first being it is super important to know the 3 D’s: dates, deadlines, and destinations. Know where you’re going and when you’re going in order to make the trip pleasant. Nobody’s happy when you can’t find potential lunch destinations, take my advice!
home. It takes persistent hard work to prepare a single calf, so don’t overlook the importance of hard work at home. Third, the time spent with family and friends are more important than winning. The opportunity to participate in events such as the Junior National and Southeastern Regional is a golden ticket to a wealth of cherished memories, so remember to try your hardest and thank all the people that made it possible for you to be there. I hope to see you throughout this highly anticipated summer show season, and be sure to flag me down! See you down the road.
The 2017 Southeast Regional Hereford Show is June 15- 17 in Montgomery, AL. Visit their facebook page for information on hotels and directions. Entries must be post-marked by May 22, 2017.
