Kansas Angus Association The President’ s Pen Greetings everyone, The sale season is in full swing and I hope everyone will take a little time to go and support your fellow Angus breeders who are having sales, even if you don’t need to buy anything. The discussions of all things cattle and particularly all things Angus, that go on at sales and such functions are some of the most educational as well as entertaining things we do all spring. Besides, your friends and neighbors in the Angus business will appreciate you showing up to add your prestige to the crowd and help fill the bleachers.
Official Publication of the Kansas Angus Association, Inc.
Those of you who enjoy calving in January and February should be wrapped up and know what your spring calf crop will look like. At least through the middle of February this has been about the easiest winter I can remember and it would have been a great year to calve in January. Some famous cow man once said, when January is good for calving, it’s good. But when January is bad it’s a disaster. What a sharp contrast from last year to this. As far as most of us are concerned, it couldn’t have come at a better time with the short hay supplies and high feed prices.

As an association, we haven’t put much emphasis on membership procurement for several years. Regardless of the negative effects of the genetic defects and the economy over the past several years, we still have by far the most complete and popular beef breed going. There is no reason for not having a lot more paid members in our state association. I hope that every one of us will have our antenna up, searching for people who should be members, and we will not be shy about mentioning that fact to them, and then following up with an application. Compared to similar publications, just the Kansas Angus News subscription is worth the price of membership. There are a lot of members of the American association that are not members of our state association. If we had most of those we could more than double in membership. Also if you have suggestions as to how we can make our membership more valuable to producers, please offer your suggestions to any officer or board member. See you on the Angus Trail.

Notes & News from Anne With hopes that spring is just around the corner, I chose the cover photo featuring Angus cattle grazing on green grass. As you anticipate spring rains, warmer days and green grass take a minute to read this issue of the Kansas Angus News. On page 1, two new KAA sponsored commercial Angus female sales are announced. It is the KAA’s mission to promote Angus genetics and to increase demand Angus cattle in Kansas; the board of directors believe that sponsoring these commercial Angus female sales does both. Many of commercial Angus and Angus-influenced females selling will be sired by or bred to registered Angus bulls produced or owned by Kansas breeders. New sales in Ft. Scott and LaCrosse will be held in addition to our long standing sales in Junction City and Pratt. Also on page 1, you will find brief information on the upcoming National Angus Conference and Tour, mark the dates on your calendar and watch for the complete schedule of events and registration information in early summer.

ANGUS INDUSTRY -News provided by American Angus Association ® and Certified Angus Beef® American Angus Association® Updates Program Name to Tonya Amen Joins the Angus Genetics Inc.® Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI) welcomes Tonya Amen as the new Genetic Service MaternalPlus ®
Angus voluntary inventory system receives name revision. The American Angus Association®’s newly introduced PathfinderPlus program, a voluntary, inventory-based reporting system aimed at increasing reproductive trait data, will now be known as MaternalPlus. After suggestions from Association members, the Board of Directors decided this week to change the name to avoid confusion with the previously established Pathfinder program started in 1978 in an effort to identify superior cows in the breed. MaternalPlus contains PathfinderPlus capabilities to capture additional reproductive trait data and to ultimately expand reproductive and lifetime productivity tools, such as longevity measures. “The change is in name only,” says Bill Bowman, Association chief operating officer and director of performance programs. “The MaternalPlus program serves as a unique system that allows us to effectively capture reproductive trait data while providing participants with additional information at weaning processing time, such as calving ease, birth weight and weaning weight EPDs for calves out of inventoried cows.” Breeders interested in participating in MaternalPlus can enroll through AAA Login, available at www.angus.org. “MaternalPlus is the most comprehensive route to generate reproductive selection tools on your herd,” Bowman says. “The program is streamlined to capture the necessary data for genetic predictions to assist you and your customers.” Contact the American Angus Association at 816-383-5100 or visit www.angus.org for more information.
NJAA Board of Directors Attend YBIC The National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) Board of Directors attended the 2012 Youth Beef Industry Congress (YBIC), Feb. 2-4 in Nashville, Tenn. The biennial event, themed “Hitting the High Note,” gathered more than 125 junior beef breed and state cattlemen organizations. The YBIC conference is a great opportunity for the NJAA Board of Directors to create relationships amongst fellow beef leaders and industry professionals who will help them lead to a better future,” says Robin Ruff, director of junior activities. “The junior board today will be the beef industry leaders of tomorrow, and we need to prepare them with the adequate knowledge and experience to make them successful.” Designed for youth leaders in the beef industry, the 2012 YBIC was sponsored by the U.S. Beef Breeds Council and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA). The YBIC conference was held in conjunction with the 2012 Cattlemen’s Convention and featured youth’s involvement in the future of agriculture. “People don’t care how much you know, but want to know how much you care,” said Andrew McCrea, keynote leadership speaker and teambuilding facilitator for YBIC from Maysville, Mo. McCrea informed attendees of the role they can play as the next generation of beef leaders. During teambuilding session, juniors were able to meet new people from across the nation. They also participated in a beef quiz bowl game to test their industry knowledge. On Thursday night, NJAA Directors met with Nashville’s entertainment correspondent Ashlie Kolb and Neil Mylet, founders of LoadOut Technologies. As young professionals, Ashlie and Neil encouraged the audience to follow their dreams. Friday morning began with a research panel addressing feed efficiency. Speakers were Dr. Matt Spangler, University of Nebraska; Dr. Dan Shike, University of Illinois; and Dr. Bob Weaber, Kansas State University. The panel also covered future challenges for the industry, including the increased food production needed to feed the world population expected to double by 2050. Following the panel, the group went to the Cattle Industry Convention to visit the Cattlemen to Cattlemen television set, participate in a trade-show scavenger hunt, and listen to NCBA staff members talk about involvement in the organization. Friday evening ended with “Cowboy’s Night at the Grand Ole Opry.” Attendees listened to country music legends Charlie Pride, The Oak Ridge Boys, Del McCoury band, Josh Turner and more. Troy and Stacy Hadrick, cattle ranchers from Faulkton, S.D., met with the group on Saturday and spoke on behalf of their company, Advocates for Agriculture, and explained how to prepare a 30-second elevator speech. Angus junior members and advisors participating in the event were: Clay Williams, Georgia; Austin Brandt, Iowa; Alisha Nord, Minnesota; Lindsey Grimes, Ohio; Garrett Knebel, Indiana; Shane Clary, Virginia; JanLee Rowlett, Tennessee; Sally Yon, South Carolina; Meghan Blythe, Kansas; Kelli Retallick, Wisconsin; Megan Ahearn, Texas; and Jennifer Ewing, Illinois.

In addition, YSA members attended a Senate Natural Resources Committee meeting at the Capitol and participated in a financial planning seminar conducted by Kennedy and Coe, LLC, that focused on debt management and planning for the future of the family business.

KS Junior Angus Association Dear KJAA Members, I write this message while I sit in the library working on my statistics homework. As I work through these math problems, I am struck by how much easier it is to find the answer when more information is provided. The value of information is ever increasing in our world and industry today. It is coming up on breeding season for the beef industry and that means time to make decisions that will impact your future show heifer, your family’s herd, and the productivity of our entire industry. Luckily, we do not have to make these tough decisions blind. The American Angus Association has the largest breed database available that provides producers with tools to help make decisions regarding genetic selection. This breeding season I encourage you as members to familiarize yourself with a few of the tools that we as Angus producers have access to such as Expected Progeny Differences, Angus Sire Evaluation Report, and $Values. Not only is this information practical and beneficial in making decisions that impact our future productivity, but soon we will be the ones making the breeding selections. Good luck this spring! Let me know if there is ever anything I can help you with. Sincerely,
Meghan Blythe jrpresident@kansasangus.org KJAA OFFICERS 2011- 2012 President: Meghan Blythe, White City President Elect: Hannah McCabe, Elk City Vice President: Mackenzie Flory, Baldwin City Treasurer: Esther McCabe, Elk City Secretary: Trent Blythe, White City Reporter: Evan Woodbury, Quenemo Historian: Lauren Herman, Kingman Membership Directors: Hadley DeHoff, Tonganoxie & Cody Thies, Leavenworth Past President: : Courtenay Dehoff, Tonganoxie

Everett & Bonnie Benoit Named Ks Angus Association Honorary Members Everett and Bonnie Benoit of Benoit Angus, Esbon, Kansas were honored as the 2011 honorary members of the Kansas Angus Association on January 21, 2012 during the annual KAA banquet in Hutchinson . Former KAA president and 2000 honorary member Jan Lyons of Lyons Ranch, Manhattan introduced Everett and Bonnie. Jan shared with banquet attendees the Benoit’s contributions and dedication to the Angus breed. Honorary membership are bestowed to those selected the committee and board of directors “to those who, by work and deed, have contributed to the improvement of Angus cattle and the livestock industry in the state of Kansas.” Following Jan’s comments Doug Benoit read the following tribute to his parents and shared family and ranch photos via a video presentation. Everett and Bonnie Benoit Written and presented by Doug Benoit.
Benoit Angus ranch is located along Kansas highway 36, near Esbon in North Central Kansas. Benoit Angus currently manages around 7,000 acres of owned and leased land in Smith and Jewell counties. The ranch runs 500 spring cows and 50 fall cows on approximately 4,500 acres of grass. In addition to raising cattle, we grow wheat, corn, milo, soybeans, alfalfa and cane feed. Early childhood. Everett Benoit was born in 1938 to the late Archie and Rosalie Beneath. He had two sisters, Betty Anne and Yvonne and one brother, Philip. The family initially lived north of Damar Kansas, which is approximately 30 miles East of Hill City. Dad started school in Zurich, Kansas and upon entering school Dad only spoke French. Luckily, Dad’s first teacher spoke both French and English and was able to get the Benoit family to start speaking a little more English. In 1946, grandpa Archie bought a half section of ground south of Esbon. This half section of ground is where Dad grew up and is where my parent’s current residence is today. Dad went to Esbon High School and graduated in 1956. Life as a teen. While going to school, Dad worked for grandpa Archie and numerous other farmers in the Esbon area. It was during this time that he learned about sacrifice and the benefits that come with putting in a full day’s work. There was one farmer, Stanley Marr, that Dad especially liked working for. Stanley owned and operated Marr Angus; while working for Stanley that Dad developed his love for the Angus cattle breed. After graduating from high school, Dad didn’t know what he wanted to do, and like many young men during the late 50’s, he decided to join the Army and support his country. In the army he became part of the 82nd Airborne Division stationed in Fort Bragg NC where he frequently parachuted from planes. Dad told us a story of jumping from the planes that they told them to look straight ahead and to make sure you bend your knees when you land because the impact on your legs was like jumping off of a 14 foot high building. Well, Dad had his knee replaced this past summer so maybe the plane jumping had something to do with this. He told us he jumped 14 times in his army career. In 1958, grandpa Archie injured his hand and needed additional assistance on the farm. At this time, Dad was given his early release from the army and returned to Esbon and assisted grandpa, when needed, on the farm. Benoit Angus was soon to begin. Benoit Angus Beginnings. Dad got started in the Angus business in 1961; he had saved money and
was able to buy six Angus Heifers from Stanley Marr. Dad was finally beginning his dream. In 1963, he was able to purchase some ground next to Esbon that would become the initial home place for Benoit Angus. This land was purchased from Bill Lewis who was another local farmer that Dad worked for in his early years. My brother Chad currently lives on this land. Dad eventually would purchase three pieces of land owned by farmers he had worked for in his younger days. These gentlemen had made it known to their families that they wanted Dad to have the first chance at purchasing their land. I believe that they chose to do this because of their admiration to Dad for his work ethic and passion for farming and ranching. In 1965, Dad married my mother Bonnie Baker She joined Dad on the farm next to Esbon. Mom worked for the Rural Electric Company in Mankato when they met and after marriage she began to do the book keeping duties, advertising, cooking for various groups and helpers and becoming one of the best mothers possible. She also worked at a local bank for ten years while still taking care of her other duties. Parenthood started in 1966, when my oldest sister Michelle was born. In 1967, Debbie was born, me in ‘69, Chad in ‘71, and finally Nicole in 1976.
proved to be excellent selections. Among these were :CH Stacker, Hilltop Skylar, RR Scotchcap 1483,Finks Stepahead, Gardens EXT 4137, and HA Power Alliance1025. Benoit Angus has also raised several high performance bulls themselves, to include E&B 1680 Precision 1023 purchased by Dalebanks Angus and later by ABS Global and E&B Blueprint691, also purchased by ABS in 2007. E&B Asti 659, E&B New Design 435 and E&B New Design 3133 are just a few of the many top notch herd bulls sold to other purebred breeders across the United States. Benoit Angus has also raised and sold some elite cows that have topped purebred female sales around the country .Cows including E&B Lady Scotchcap 75, E&B Lady Traveler 61, E&B Lady Ext 174 , E&B Lady Precision 15, are just a few of the cows that we have sold to other purebred breeders that have become major money makers for their operations.
Benoit Angus brought cattle to the Denver National Western Stock show in 1992 and 1995. In 1995.Benot Angus exhibited the reserve champion pen of three When Stanley Marr retired in 1969, Dad picked out bulls and was beaten only by a pen of bulls that was and bought an additional 20 cows. Stanley passed sired by our own herd bull, CH Stacker 7040. We have away in 1971 and at the funeral Mrs. Marr told Dad participated in three Kansas Angus tours since 1970 that when, Stanley sold dad his initial six heifers in and were chosen as the host for the 2005 tour. Each 1961 that he told dad he could pick six heifers from his tour was such a wonderful experience and a great calf crop. Stanley told Mrs. Marr at the time of opportunity to visit with other cattlemen and women purchase that he was going to let him pick them out throughout the state. Dad served as the Kansas Angus and that Everett would never be able to pick out the Association district four director and served his term best ones. Well, at the funeral that day she told dad with the same admiration and integrity in which he has that Stanley said that he had picked out his six best run his cattle operation. He speaks very fondly of his days on the board and of the Angus friends that he heifers calves. met and associated with. In the early 70’s, Dad was one of the first to participate in the Beloit Bull Test; he was elected to the Beloit Family Life. In closing, Dad and Mom’s Bull Test Board of Directors. From 1971 to 1989, accomplishments are outstanding and as you can see Benoit Angus only missed one of the Beloit bull test. their hard work has paid off over the years. Still to this Benoit Angus received many sire group awards at the day, as Chad, and I are working to help keep this bull test and had many top selling bulls . He also business going, we marvel at the fact that they are still participated in the Kansas Beef Expo, the Potwin Bull going strong and still keep involved in everything that test and the Franklin, Nebraska, and Smith Center, goes on. The business that they have built starting Kansas, show and sales in the late 70’s and early with absolutely nothing and slowly building the herd to eighties. These events brought many private treaty where it is today is very impressive. The friendships sales from bull buyers throughout the area. With Dad‘s we have built with other Angus breeders and our own herd becoming bigger it became very time consuming customers is something, I know, Mom and Dad will for private treaty sales so the decision was made to cherish forever. Dad is as driven to succeed person start an annual production bull sale. This is also the that you will ever find. This work ethic along with time when Dad and Mom built their house and sale honesty and integrity has made this business go. We barn on the same land that Dad’s parents initially have many bull customers today, which started bought in 1946.In 1990, the first Benoit Angus purchasing bulls from Dad in the Beloit bull tests in the Production Sale was held, selling 80 bulls . In 1990, early 70’s. Mom and Dad have been such an there were fifteen production sales in the state of inspiration for my family and have given my family Kansas. The production sales have been very such a wonderful place for my kids to grow up and be beneficial in promoting the Benoit Angus brand. We a part of something special. Benoit Angus is a family business and if you ask Mom and Dad what their have sold bulls in twenty states biggest accomplishment and fulfillment has been; I Dad began using AI in the mid to late ‘70’s but was a guarantee you it would be their parenting and family firm believer in having top notch herd bulls. His first values that they have installed in each of us kids. I herd bull purchased was S&W Duke from northwest think these final pictures will show you the love and Nebraska.
