Greetings, As I sit here trying to get some kind of creative skills cultivated to write my January comments, I look at an indoor thermometer and realize, as my dad would say, “its colder than a well digger’s butt.” Now I’m not sure how cold that really is, but I can tell you I was perfectly happy with 40 to 60 degree November weather. How many of you had a great Thanksgiving? I’m sure someone will question my timing on these comments, but December issue was at the printer before Thanksgiving and I think this meal was well worth a report. Our family had a big turn of events. Thanksgiving is and has been, for as long as I can remember, in my basement. My youngest, Mandi her husband Brian and his parents, made the offer to have Thanksgiving dinner at their place on the north end of town. Dixie and I could find no problem with that plan at all. As with any Thanksgiving dinner, we had enough food for a small army of people, and not even close to
enough people to eat it. I know I will leave something out, but I am going to try to highlight all my favorites. Smoked Honey Ham, oven roasted turkey, deadly mashed potatoes (not sure what was done but seasoned somehow and maybe cheese incorporated), buttered corn, sweet potatoes (deadly and my desert), green bean casserole, stuffing, salads, rolls, deviled eggs, roughage trays, snacks of all kinds, French cherry pie, chocolate pie, deserts way too many to report. I ate enough to last me the next 3 months, but I enjoyed it all. Best part of the day was the company we had! Heidi and Matt Rohrig, Tucker and Taylor, and little Treva (still hiding out in Heidi’s belly), Ray “Bubba”, Maria, Indy, and Michael Sorensen, Mandi, Brian, Izzy, & Max Eisbach, Brian’s folks Brenda and Denny Eisbach. Including a late afternoon stop by super guests Dave Meier and his family from Elm Creek, Nebraska. It felt Greetings continued on pg 30

Greetings continued from pg 4 like a 25,000 calorie diet for the day and I probably gained 10 pounds, but it was worth it all! The month of December has been a little tough here at the Sorensen home. First Heidi having a C-section to bring my newest granddaughter into the world three weeks early at 4.8 pounds. We welcome Treva to our family and can’t wait to get her in my arms. Treva is having a little tough time, but progressing.

Hawkeye is one of the most complete semi-proven bulls of the breed, with EPDs backed by significant progeny genomic testing. No other semi-proven bull in the breed can meet or exceed his phenomenal Docility and Ribeye EPD combination! Both the top-selling bull and female in our 2016 auction were sired by Hawkeye.
No current sire with Bullseye’s accuracy or higher can match or exceed his tremendous Docility EPD! Bullseye has a reputation for phenomenal growth and power cattle, and his sons continue to top sales across the Midwest. With semen limited in supply, now is the time to use this sire who has 7 EPDs & indexes in the top 1% of the breed!
Recently leased to ST Genetics, this semiproven bull has the largest sire group of bulls in our February 7, 2017 auction. Top Cut’s calves are low birth weight, exhibit added frame, with a very solid phenotype and structural correctness. Top Cut sired the #1 adjusted weaning weight heifer calf of the 2016 Hoover crop at 827 pounds.
The cowman’s choice, Hoover Dam has been among the top 15 bulls of the breed for the past 5 years for progeny registered. He now has over 14,000 progeny through AHIR in over 1450 herds. Hoover Dam has established himself as the all-time record semen sales bull at ORIgen, and is still one of the most requested bulls to see at ORIgen as he approaches his 9th birthday.
Commander sons were the top-selling sire group in the 2016 Hoover Angus sale averaging $11,469! These bulls earned this position as the top-selling group as they are extremely stout cattle with added frame, muscle, and hind quarter. In both the spring 2015 and spring 2016 Hoover calf crops, Commander bull calves were the top ratioing sire group!
The first calves of this $100,000 sire will be born in January at Hoover Angus, and we anticipate them to have the added frame, muscle and performance of 38 Special himself. 38 Special was the dominant performing bull of his flush: WW 859 lbs., WR 111, and YW 1523 lbs., YR 112. Semen is now available through Alta Genetics.

HOOP BEEF SYSTEM, LLC., WORKS TO HELP PRODUCERS INCREASE CATTLE PERFORMANCE BENEFIT By Steve Weisman
There is little doubt that America’s farming/ranching landscape is changing. In many states, traditional pastureland has been broken up in response to the cry for more cropland and grain production. Yet at the same time, there has been a cry from the cattle market for more cows. The trouble is this cry comes on the heels of a 34 million acres of pasture lost since 2007. Although the traditional cow/calf grazing model is still the most prevalent, what are cattle producers that don’t have access to grass land or simply can’t pay the cost of renting high priced grassland to do? Are there options or have these producers reached a dead end? The good news is there are sound, solid options. One of these a semi or confied cow/calf model, and more and more producers are turning to this option. But where do you begin? Enter the Hoop Beef System, LLC (www. hoop-beef.com), which for the past 10 years has been working with
producers to develop a confnement system that specifically fits each producer’s needs. Originally designed by Dr. Robert Bryant, a longtime veterinarian and cattleman near the rural northwest Iowa town of Washta, Bryant has successfully turned what he envisioned for his own family farm into the Hoop Beef System®, a system that cattle producers from Alberta to Tennessee have grown to trust. According to Tim Bickett, System Consultant at Hoop Beef System since 2007, “All of us here are cattlemen. It is what we do and defineswho we are. We are focused on our cattle and what is best for our cattle. We believe in what we sell.” At the same time, Bickett notes that with over 100 years of combined cattle experience, “We understand cattle and people. If we don’t use it, we don’t sell it!” The term “confinment” often brings up negative thoughts about
www.livestockplusinc.com
69
animals being crowded and unclean conditions. However, Bickett sees this as being more of a controlled environment that is clean, where the cows are out of the mud, or the snow or the rain and wind! Fresh cornstalks provide optimum bedding, exact rations are given and both cows/calves are set up to always have the same quality environment. Craig Howard, cow boss/foreman at Bieber Red Angus Ranch in Leola, SD, echoed that sentiment. “When we built our firstHoop Beef Systems at the ranch I was quite skeptical about how the system would work for housing pairs in the spring. Now after using the system to not only house pairs for the first 30 days or so post calving in the spring, but breed our heifers and wean calves into in the fall, I know they work like they said they would.” Bickett continues, “What we can offer producers is a system that gives them flexibility the opportunity to maximize their system and the ability to increase their bottom line. We currently have 15,000 cows/calves housed inside our systems sold to producers.” To help producers see this type of facility in person, Hoop Beef System, LLC has built an entire system at Grand Meadow Feeders, located on the Bryant family farm near Washta, Iowa to test its own products and to gain even more knowledge to share with customers. Tours are regularly hosted at Grand Meadows Feeders where visitors can witness the following: • Five Original Hoop Beef System® buildings, each 320 feet long housing 320 head each • Two Hoop Beef Choice system buildings, 320 feet long housing 320 head • Working facilities and load in/load out facilities built in as part of the starting and receiving barn • Custom designed 75 foot commodity shed • Two hoop bale sheds 200 feet long that hold over 1000 large round corn stalk bales. This visit allows visitors the opportunity to see how an entire Hoop Beef System® works and to get an idea of how it would work at their site. In addition, data is constantly being collected on the virtues of deep bedded cattle facilities. With a smile Bickett says, “We are helping build a cattle hotel!” By using the Hoop Beef System®, the weather variable is eliminated, and the cattle are provided a consistent environment. The positive results include: • No Wind Chill • No Frozen Ground • No Bruised Hooves • Hair Coats Always Dry • No Summer Sun • Venturi effect creates Cooling Air flow with open curtains even in no wind conditions in summer heat • No Spoiled Feed • Feed Bunks Protected from Snow and Rain

INCREASING SIZE AND BOTTOM LINE WITH LESS Although this sounds like a contradiction, it really isn’t! According to Bickett, the Hoop Beef System® fits perfectly for systems both under roof year around or for part of the year. It’s also a way to raise cattle with very little pasture to no pasture at all. This is ideal for a young producer wanting to get started, who can’t affordto buy or rent high priced pastureland. Once again, Hoop Beef System, LLC’s Grand Meadow Feeders provides a demonstration site to prove this point. “At Grand Meadow Feeders, we show how this design is the best marriage between the crop operation and the cattle operation. On a lot of farms, producers will turn their cows out to graze on cornstalks. Research shows that on a 160-acre field, 60-70 cows can utilize this feed
for about 60-70 days. What we do here is bale all of the cornstalks from this 160-acre field.We can then feed up to 120 cows housed in the Hoop Beef System® for an entire year!” Any way you put it, that’s truly increased efficiency and utilization of what would normally end up being un-utilized as feed and tilled back into the soil. It often takes up to five years for the stalks to completely decompose into the soil. “We will then take the manure from the system and return that to the field. What we have found is that by doing this, we are improving the health, organic matter, in the soil. Over the past five years, we have seen a 20 percent increase in organic matter on fields with a corn on corn rotation.” Plus, utilizing the manure back on the field with what’s left in the cornstalk bedding helps lessen the amount of commercial fertilizer used. Now, that is a win-win deal! ABOUT THE HOOP BEEF SYSTEM® PROCESS AND PACKAGE The process to determine what a producer might need revolves around four steps. The first is a needs assessment. “We will come out to the farm and help analyze the situation, the location and where a building would work best, the size that would meet the needs and what would be the most cost effective.” Once the options have been agreed upon, a set of blueprints can be drawn up to give the producer a good visual of what the building will look like. “Once the design is approved, we will then ship the materials from the manufacturing site in Lennox, SD. Next we will work with local contractors or the customer (if they want to construct the facility themselves) to ensure the construction process goes smoothly as possible.” The final step is to be there after construction. “We will gladly share what has worked with our herd as far as nutrition, animal health and what makes our operation successful. With the weather risk eliminated, it becomes all about consistency. Our
January 2017
goal is that three to five years down the road our customers look back and know that building a Hoop Beef System was a good decision. We are there for their success.” In essence, Hoop Beef System, LLC offers a complete package that delivers buildings, bunks, waterers, gates, blueprints, construction advice, nutrition advice on ethanol coproduct usage, and complete consulting services for effective system set-up to provide a controlled environment that protects the beef animal from environmental extremes, while incorporating and utilizing the cattle’s natural behaviors and instincts. FEMALE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM In response to producer demand and the company’s dedication for increasing their customers’ success, Bickett discussed the growing popularity of the female development program at Grand Meadows Feeders. “We have spent a lot of time and effort at the research farm breeding a line we call ‘new generation females’. They are a Gelbvieh cross that are moderate in size, docile, fertile and when bred to high end terminal sires, produce progeny that are attractive to the market.” Heifers are bred to calve every month but January and July with over 2,500 bred heifers sold annually. They currently have approximately 900 head left in inventory that will calve in the spring of 2017. Producers do not need to have a Hoop Beef System to purchase these females and they will fit most commercial operations. WHAT ANOTHER CUSTOMER SAYS Jeff Morse a Council Bluffs, Iowa producer and Hoop Beef System customer started with one and soon after built his second Hoop Beef System. “I was looking for options on how to bring my two sons back into the operation,“ Morse stated. “We wanted to expand our cow/calf operation, but with the high cost of pasture to buy or rent in our area, we needed to look at other options.” Stocked with mostly New Generation Females, Morse has experienced 90%+ consistent breed-back with AI and then clean up bulls. Morse sums his experience up this way,” Raising cows under roof is
probably the way of the future for beef operations around here.” THE BOTTOM LINE There is little doubt that moving cattle under roof is both a major decision and a major investment. That’s why Hoop Beef System, LLC is there for its customers throughout the entire decision making, construction process and beyond. Bickett adds, “We believe in a simple formula: Cost of Construction + Cost of Operation cannot exceed the Cattle Performance Benefit. This means we will work with our customers to develop a project that fits their needs, their budget and their cattle. At the same time, we understand that a reputation is earned and that our customers’ business and trust must be earned. We know that in the cattle business there is no such thing as business hours. As a result, when you need us, we are just a phone call away!” Editor’s Note: reprinted with permission form American Cattlemen. n

“On the road again, just can’t wait to get on the road again…” This Willie Nelson classic so accurately describes my life from the months of November to March. Not only is it cattle sale season, but I also am on the road 4 or 5 nights a week headed to the next college or university to officiate a basketball game. Anyone who knows me, knows that officiating basketball has been a significant avocation of mine for quite some time. You probably think I am crazy for willingly putting myself in that position, but for me, there is just something about stepping on that hardwood that has fueled a passion for the game and a desire to become the very best I can be. I could tell you story after story of the things I have seen in my games…both good and bad…but we will save those for later.
It is this time of year, for me at least, that I find it very easy to get caught in the day-to-day craziness and easily forget the reasons we do what we do. Whether it be getting ready for your sale, preparing for Denver, trying to get caught up before calving starts, or just busy with all that comes from the holiday season, I ask that you all do one thing… In these moments of chaos, take a moment to realize how truly blessed we are to live in a country with the freedom to do what we love and chase our dreams. Take time this new year to thank the good Lord you are involved in the best industry in the world with even better people! It has been a great first few months getting to know and work with many of you and I am so excited to see what 2017 has in store. I wish you and your family the very best and may God bless you in the New Year! ~ Cody

First, Matt and I apologize to all who participated in the “When 2 Win” guessing when Baby Rohrig would arrive. We had no idea Lil Miss Treva Gayle Louise Rohrig would arrive in November! Apparently, she likes to make a dramatic entrance! God definitely had our little family in His hands on November 30th. As many of you know, I had been dealing with some blood pressure issues a couple months before her arrival. Little did we
know, the umbilical cord was wrapped around her little neck as well. Treva was born weighing 4lbs 8oz. and 17.5 inches. She just wasn’t quite strong enough and was admitted into the Mercy NICU the same day. As I write this article we are on Day 15 in the NICU. Our Big T’s (Tucker and Taylor) are over the moon excited in hopes of getting their little sister home for Christmas. We want to thank family and friends for their words of encouragement and prayers. Please remember to keep our military and nation in your prayers as well. We wish everyone a blessed new year!!! Heidi Sorensen Rohrig • 661.900.6004 heidi@livestockplusinc.com
