Editor…

President Letter Hello all. By the time this edition comes to print we will be over a month into 2023, our annual meeting in the books, and well into the spring calving season. This is an exciting time of the year to see how all our hard work and matings have paid off. 2023 should be another good year to be a beef producer and looks like we have some excellent consignments for our Wisconsin Hereford Association production sale in Fennimore, WI on March 4th.

Herefords are an excellent breed of cattle for all aspects of the beef business and in Wisconsin, it appears even more so as our membership is on the rise and our annual meeting reservation By: Rick Starck numbers are up. We again plan on attending several agriculture WHA President shows and events in 2023 in order to showcase our breed and what our association has to offer in promotion, sales, and assistance in the beef business. We have reached out to hundreds of people interested in beef and in beef production. We also reordered 1000 more WHA brochures for the 2023 season.

We have a lot going on in 2023 with our regular, events, state sale, picnic, and meetings.

Additionally we have the Junior Nationals coming to Madison this year so we will need additional help to make these all successful.

With that said, we still need volunteers to help in manning these events and visit with show attendees to promote our breed and association. As of this writing, we are still looking for people interested in sitting on our board of directors in both our north and south eastern districts. If you live in and are interested in one of these positions, please contact Lisa Davis. Like the saying goes, many hands make light work. If you have some time, please contact our president or secretary for dates of events.

Your board has worked hard to find ways to promote your cattle to others. We will be auctioning off prime pages in the Review for the issue prior to the Junior Nationals and those issues will be available to junior national attendees. We are also planning our directory and auctioning off prime pages and also distributed at the Junior Nationals. This is a great time to promote your cattle and program in both the directory and Review. Don’t forget we have advertising available on our website as well.

In closing I would like to thank everyone who purchased Hereford cattle in 2022 and who chose to renew or become a new member of the WHA. Without our membership, we have no way of promoting the best breed in the industry.

Noah’s Notes By: Noah Benedict AHA Territory 5 Field Staff 217-372-8009 noahb@hereford.org

To begin, I want to wish all of Team Hereford a happy 2023. I truly hope that you all had a great holiday season that was filled with family, faith, and fun. The new year brings opportunity to both reflect on the previous year and set goals for the new year. In Hereford news, the goals for the new year are already being accomplished and year 2023 has started with an absolute bang.

First off, The Greater Midwest Certified Hereford Feeder Calf Sale was held on January 5th at Carthage Livestock Inc. in Carthage, Ill. A huge thank you goes out to Brent and Kris Lowderman and the entire team at CLI for their dedicated work towards this sale and the Hereford breed as a whole. It is a top-notch event that rewards Hereford producers for their cattle. I highly encourage everyone to look into this sale for next year!

Shortly after this sale, I hopped on a plane and flew to Oklahoma City, Okla. to attend the Cattlemen’s Congress. What a show! Breeders from across the country brought the best of the best to both sell and show in OKC. The National Sale has always been a highlight of the year for me and this year was no exception. 24 total lots grossed $583,000 and if that doesn’t get you excited to be a breeder, I don’t know what will! The depth of quality in the open show was remarkable. Truly, truly impressive. I think it is worth noting as well that all three supreme drives at Cattlemen’s Congress (Open Bull, Open Heifer, and Junior Heifer), featured a Hereford in the top 5.

After flying back home from OKC, I took two days rest and hopped back on a plane to Denver to attend the National Western Stock Show. I had not been since they started construction, and it was very enjoyable to see again! The pen show was STOUT in Denver with impressive pens of Hereford heifers and bulls everywhere you looked. The open show as impressive in its own right, with future donors and AI sires being put in the winner’s circle as well. Thankful I had the chance to attend NWSS once again, and looking forward to next year!

I hope everyone’s goals for 2023 are off to as hot of a start as Team Hereford’s. The spring of 2023 will be filled with state association consignment sales, bull sales, beef expos, and association meetings. I employ you to take advantage of all of these opportunities to improve your herd. Even if you aren’t buying or selling, go and network, learn from other breeders and continue to move forward. As always, please reach out if you need anything from me and thank you for believing in Team Hereford!

Thank You!

To help facilitate networking and marketing activities internal and external to the WHA, members’ contact information is listed online in the WHA Website Membership Directory and in the printed WHA Directory. (A new WHA Directory will be printed in 2023!)

Membership Dues…

www.wisconsinherefords.org

Yearly membership dues for the WHA are $50. Payment of yearly dues is a requirement for membership in the WHA, as listed in Section 5 of the WHA Bylaws. Membership dues monies are utilized to support the activities of the WHA and the promotion of Hereford cattle. The WHA Bylaws state that the fiscal year of the organization ends on December 31 of the calendar year, so paying membership dues early in the year helps to keep the annual membership roster current, and facilitates accurate yearly budget planning.

The WHA requests payment of annual membership dues by January 31 of the calendar year. Paying yearly membership dues

by January 31 is easy! The WHA Annual Mailing, sent to all active members, is mailed in late December or early January each year. The Annual Mailing packet will have a membership form that can be completed and returned with dues payment. Or, yearly membership dues may be paid at the WHA Annual meeting, which is held in late January each year. Also, during the first quarter of the year, the WHA will include a brief reminder about dues payments in the monthly association email messages.

If membership dues are not received by end of first quarter, March 31, the member will be contacted to request membership renewal information and dues payment. Contacts will be made as follows:

8

WHA Members with email address: • Membership form will be emailed to the member, requesting completion of form and return with dues payment • Email will be followed up with a phone call WHA Members without an email address: • Membership form will be re-sent by postal mail • Mailing will be followed up with a phone call If payment is not received by April 30, the membership will be considered “inactive” and will be removed from the Member Directory in the WHA Website, mailing list for The Wisconsin Review, and internal WHA membership records.

Membership Benefits…

Here are a few notes about the benefits of WHA Membership.

There are several special marketing opportunities and activities within the WHA which are exclusive to WHA, and Wisconsin Junior Hereford Association (WJHA) members only.

WHA or WJHA membership is a requirement for consignment of cattle to WHA Spring Sale - membership must be current at the time of nomination (October). Sale year’s membership must be paid at the time of sale entry (December).

• Please see the “Sale” page on the WHA Website for the 2023 State Sale Rules.

Membership in the WHA is a requirement for either parents, or grandparents, of participants in the Wisconsin Hereford Royalty program. Wisconsin Hereford Royalty program participants must be a Wisconsin Junior Hereford Association member.

• Please see the “Royalty & NHW” page on the WHA Website for the Wisconsin Hereford Royalty Program Rules and Standards for additional information.

Nomination of steers for the WHA Jackpot Steer Show at the Wisconsin State Fair is a special opportunity for WHA or WJHA members only. Steers must be bred by a WHA or WJHA member, and the breeder must be a member at calving date.

• Please see the "Membership & Benefits" page on the WHA Website for a copy of the 2022 Jackpot Steer Show nomination and rules information.

Advertising in "The Marketplace" in The Wisconsin Review is free to active members!

Paying yearly membership dues by January 31 helps facilitate efficient participation in all of these activities. These opportunities can help promote your herd's genetic program, as well as continue to support interest in Herefords by Junior Members and within the cattle industry, too!

Queen Corner Madison Katzenberger 2023 National Hereford Queen

Wow, how time flies! This time last year, I was starting my job at Boviteq after just graduating from UW-Platteville, getting ready for my final year ahead as a Hereford Junior. So much has happened this year, and there is so much to reflect on and be thankful for. Personally, I am thankful for each and every one of my fellow Wisconsin Hereford Breeders. Without the support of the WJHA and the WHA, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to pursue the title of National Hereford Queen and be successful in my feat. I am also extremely thankful for my family and their never-ending love and support for me in everything I do whether it be Hereford related, or not. I would like to reflect with you and share my experiences these past few months during my reign as the National Hereford Queen.

In November I attended the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, KY. I have only exhibited at this show, so being in the ring without leading in an animal was definitely a different experience for me, but one that I enjoyed nonetheless. In December, I flew to the opposite side of the country to Reno, NV for the Western States Hereford Show. I had never been out to Reno for this particular show so I was very excited to experience that and my expectations were exceeded with hospitality and organization. I didn’t expect anything less than quality and I was more than impressed.

After that I traveled to Oklahoma City, OK which was an emotional experience for me. Oklahoma City was my first, last show of my junior exhibiting career in 2022, but I was glad to be back with purpose. I had a lot of fun with my fellow Wisconsin Hereford breeders representing at the Cattleman’s Congress.

Most recently, I flew out to Denver, CO for the National Western Stock Show and it was amazing. I had exhibited at the National Western in the past, but after all the new renovations, it was so neat to see how updated and more easily accessible the yards were. I will say, I do miss the skywalk, but the facilities out there have been my favorite so far. It was also nostalgic to walk in the arena where so many National Hereford Queens were crowned before me, prior to the contest being moved to Kansas City, MO. My next journey takes me back South to the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. I am very excited to attend and represent Wisconsin and the Hereford breed!

I am so excited to see where my crown takes me and the memories I will make along the way. I have already met some incredible people and experienced so many new things. I encourage anyone out there to take that leap, chase that dream and try something new because you never know how it’s going to turn out. No matter what you do, do it with dignity, do it with honor, do it with grace and above all, be yourself! I look forward to seeing all of you at the State Sale and can’t wait to crown your 2023 Wisconsin Hereford Queen.
