ow, have you kept track of Angus bull sale reports the past few weeks? The sale prices paid for top Angus genetics continue to be off the charts. You can find our sale reports for member sales on pages 26 & 28in this issue. This is truly a great time to be in the cattle business with outstanding markets for all classes of cattle -feeder calves, fat cattle (although these prices have softened some in recent weeks) even cull cows and weigh up bulls continue to bring top dollars. Check out the many sale listings of our membership on page 30 to find that much needed herd sire for your herd. It appears that cattle herd expansion is beginning and finding those bulls to meet your herd needs will be a priority this year. Our membership sales continue to offer those top genetics.

Dear Nebraska Angus Friends,

s the song goes, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” No, I’m not talking about Christmas. For cattle producers, bull sale season and calving season make this the most wonderful time of the year. This is the season where we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor. With new calves being born and getting to evaluate (at least initially) how well we did last spring with our breeding selections. It’s an exciting time of year, and an exciting time to be in the cattle business. After years of decline in cattle herd numbers, recent trends indicate herd numbers are on the rise. With beef prices reaching historic highs, cattle producers are retaining and breeding more females. The optimism beef producers demonstrate by holding on to their cattle for breeding purposes rather than selling them for market beef is a true indicator of assurance in this industry. This is good news for anyone involved in the cattle industry and we see this in recent sales. We are well into the bull sale season, and although we have seen a slight decline in fed cattle prices, we are still enjoying a “bull market.” Angus genetics are dominant, and highly sought after by both seed

Nebraska Angus Association stock producers, as well as commercial programs. The validation Angus producers receive during bull sale season is second to none. Congratulations to all who have wrapped up their sales, and good luck to those of you who have sales in your future. As you are reading this, the 2015 Cattlemen’s Classic will be in the books. This is an event that brings cattlemen from across the state to display the best they have to offer. The Angus breed continues to bring a lot of excitement to this event and is highly competitive in both the show and sale ring. I’m sure this year will be no different. I invite you to consider all the Angus breed has to offer by reading this and other related periodicals, attending shows and sales, and visiting with fellow Angus enthusiasts. As an organization of Angus breeders we are have a lot to offer as a collective group, and additionally we have a lot to offer to individual breeders. Anyone interested in learning more about the Nebraska Angus Association, and all we have to offer feel free to contact me, Suzy Hebbert, or any of the board members. I look forward to visiting with many of you at upcoming events, and representing you as this year’s Nebraska Angus Association President.

S By:

Dear Nebraska Angus friends,

pring is well underway, and here’s wishing everyone a great spring calving season! We are thrilled that the strong cattle market is holding steady, and the optimism in our industry is fantastic. In December, the new AAA board members were encouraged to travel to the Certified Angus Beef headquarters in Wooster, Ohio for an introduction to that segment of the Angus Association’s enterprise. Certified Angus Beef is extremely influential in the dominance of Angus cattle in today’s market, and that demand for Angus cattle by feeders and packers filters down to each of us in the premium prices paid for our animals. This was a great opportunity to see the headquarters, experience the Culinary and Education Center, and meet the terrific team that comprises Certified Angus Beef’s inner workings. The passion that these bright, motivated folks have for the brand, and for their individual roles in guaranteeing its success, was truly inspiring. At the headquarters, we were shown the original letter that was submitted by Harold Etling, an Angus breeder from Marshallville, OH, in the mid-1970s. It outlined his idea of a franchise for high quality Angus beef. That letter is considered the blueprint for our branded product. It was fascinating to witness how insightful this letter was with regard to the impact this franchise would have on the Angus breed. Mr. Etling, in cooperation with board member Fred

Johnson and a handful of key industry strategists, were responsible for bringing Certified Angus Beef into existence. Ohio’s Regional Manager at the time, Mick Colvin, brought his legendary enthusiasm to his appointment as the brand’s first executive director, and is credited with giving the program a great jump-start. The Certified Angus Beef story is a wonderful example of how we can all make a difference in this industry. One member articulated his idea, it landed in front of the AAA board, and we are all the beneficiaries of that great vision. With that, I encourage each one of you to share any ideas you may have for the enhancement of our breed. Perhaps the next great idea for our industry could come from a Nebraska member! Additionally, if your travels will be taking you to the Wooster neighborhood, I would encourage you to give them a call and inquire about a visit to that fine place. In the meantime, continue to spread the good word about Certified Angus Beef! Sincerely, Jerry Connealy AAA Director (308) 544-6552 jsconnealy@gmail.com

Nebraska Angus Queen Spotlight Nebraska Queen and Agricultural Communicator

Michelle Keyes

This year’s Nebraska Angus Queen, Michelle Keyes, hails from the community of Springfield, NE, which is located just outside of Omaha. Michelle and her two older sisters, Melissa and Jenny are the 5th generation to live on her family farm and the 3rd generation to raise Angus cattle. The Keyes family also consists of parents Kevin and Teresa. Kevin runs the family farm and Teresa works in the Sarpy County election office. Melissa, her oldest sister recently graduated from UNL with a degree in agriculture communications. She currently is head of the Ag in the Classroom for a Northwest Iowa county. Jenny, the middle of the three Keyes girls, is a junior at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln, also studying agriculture communications and journalism. Michelle and her family have raised cattle for “as long as she can remember”, so being involved in the Nebraska Jr Angus Association and her family’s membership in the Nebraska Angus Association is a natural fit. However, Michelle’s agricultural production experience isn’t limited to cattle. When she and her sisters were younger, they raised broilers, laying hens and turkeys. They had a commercial poultry dressing building where they dressed the chickens themselves, and they sold farm fresh eggs to local customers. Her parents were also involved in the swine industry as well, prior to Michelle’s birth. All this experience in the agriculture industry is what fuels her passion for agriculture. Animal Science classes are Michelle’s favorite classes in college, and she is also active outside of school. She is a member of the Nebraska Junior Angus Association, currently holding the office of Secretary/Treasurer. She also has membership in the Junior Legion Auxiliary Post 143, the Collegiate Cattlewomen, Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority and Agriculture Communica-

tors of Tomorrow. While most of her family attended or graduated from UNL, Michelle is a freshman at Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS studying Agriculture Communications and Journalism. She is also considering a second major in Animal Science. Michelle became interested in being Nebraska Angus Queen because of her something her

Mom, Teresa, instilled in her daughters. Teresa always believed her daughters should be “role models” for younger children. Michelle felt that there was no better way be a role model for the younger girls in the Nebraska Jr. Angus Association than to serve as Queen. She strives to do her best and be someone the younger girls can look up to. Michelle literally earned the Nebraska Angus Queen title by participating in the revamped Nebraska Angus Queen contest this past summer. The contest consisted of a prepared speech, a session on queen etiquette, and a group presentation before a panel of judges.

20 • January/February 2015 • Nebraska Angus Association News

The girls also attended the queen luncheon along with their Mothers and the judges. The grueling two day Queen contest prepared Michelle well for her responsibilities of Nebraska Angus Queen. Just a few of her jobs include attending all Nebraska Angus show activities such as the Nebraska State Fair, the Junior Winter Show, Nebraska Cattlemen’s Classic Angus Show and Sale, and the Nebraska Junior Preview Show. As part of the show duties she hands out ribbons and is Nebraska’s representative in show photos. Michelle also attended the National Western Stock Show in Denver this past January, where she assisted Miss American Angus in the show ring. She encourages all future queens to attend the stock show if they have the opportunity to learn more about the Angus breed and queen responsibilities on a national level. Advice that Michelle has for future Nebraska Angus Queen candidates is to prepare yourself well in whatever you do. Be ready to attend as many Angus events as possible. Whether it’s a member’s sale, an Angus show, or even the Angus tour, you will always be welcomed in any situation. These events are also great networking opportunities for the future. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Great experiences are just around the corner if you’re well prepared, and willing to expand your horizons.
