CLASSROOM SESSIONS

8:15 AM – 9:15 AM Finding the Right Fit for Your Career or Business

Room 352 Tim Hammerich, Founder, Ag Grad Our world is more connected than ever, but there is still a huge disconnect between agricultural employers and talented potential employees. Why? The game has changed and many job seekers and hiring managers have not adapted to today’s hiring environment. Come discover the new methods of hiring or being hired in agriculture, as well as those strategies that have withstood the test of time.

Practical Management to Reduce Disease Challenges

Room 343-345 Robin Falkner, DVM, Cattle/Equine Technical Services, Zoetis Although pathogens responsible for causing diseases are circulating daily within a herd, producers and veterinarians may not notice a problem until a management practice changes these dynamics. Building a solid management foundation on sound biosecurity and biocontainment principles, not sole reliance on testing and vaccination, is critical to protect herds from both nagging and catastrophic losses. Room 356-357 Nathan Pike, MS, Strategic Marketing and Technology Leader, Cargill; Bill Thoni, Vice President Cattle Procurement, Cargill; Heather Tansey, MS, Sustainability Director, Cargill Consumer demands for sustainability are changing, but it’s not always feasible for producers to justify some of the demanded change. This session will shed light on consumer trends and how customer demands impact various stakeholders throughout the supply chain. A panel of Cargill representatives from various aspects of the beef supply chain will discuss the demands of their customers and how, despite potentially different priorities, the industry can work cohesively to deliver across the board.

They Want What?

Fact or Fiction

Room 252-254 Darrh Bullock, PhD, eBeef Team, Extension Professor, Beef Cattle Genetics, University of Kentucky There are many questions surrounding the usefulness and accuracy of Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs). Join this session to discuss what is fact, what is fiction and why. Most importantly, learn how you can use genetic prediction tools to improve cattle selection strategies on your operation.

Grazing Systems for the South

Room 238-239 John Jennings, PhD, Professor and Extension Forage Specialist, Department of Animal Sciences, University of Arkansas; Kim Mullenix, PhD, Assistant Professor and Beef Cattle Extension Specialist, Department of Animal Sciences, Auburn University This session will provide an overview of bermudagrass and bahiagrass-based forage systems used in the Southeastern U.S., including a review of the recommended varieties, expected yields, potential stocking rate and animal performance expectations during the summer months, potential improvements with the addition of legume species, and animal performance expectations of winter annual forages that have been overseeded into bahiagrass/bermudagrass for winter grazing.

32 | 2019 CATTLE INDUSTRY CONVENTION & NCBA TRADE SHOW

Managing Through a Natural Disaster

Room 255-257 Christine Navarre, DVM, Extension Veterinarian, Louisiana State University Agricultural Center; John Locke, J.D. Huggins, Inc. – Locke Division In this session join John Coleman Locke, a rancher from south Texas who along with his family and livestock weathered catastrophic flooding from Hurricane Harvey. He will give a personal account of his experiences dealing with this crisis and its immediate threats, as well as navigating the emotions and the aftermath of a natural disaster. Joining John Locke will be Christine Navarre, DVM, Louisiana extension veterinarian, who will provide expert advice on managing through a natural disaster. Room 244-245 Amanda Blair, PhD, Professor & Extension Meat Science Specialist, South Dakota State University Janna Kincheloe, PhD, Extension Livestock Specialist, North Dakota State University Increasing evidence suggests maternal nutritional deficiencies and other environmental factors can influence fetal development during gestation. Referred to as fetal programming, research in this area indicates the environment experienced during gestation can impact offspring health, performance, and carcass traits. This session will explore the concept of fetal programming, provide an overview of research in beef cattle and address the influence of nutrient restriction on offspring growth performance, carcass composition and meat quality.

Programming Your Cow Herd for Success

Utilizing Reproductive Technologies

Room 353-355 Sandy Johnson, PhD, Professor & Extension Specialists, Kansas State University David Patterson, PhD, Professor of Animal Science, University of Missouri Reproductive technologies are the most efficient way to improve genetically important traits in your herd. Estrous synchronization and AI remain the most important and widely applicable reproductive biotechnology available and are the gateway to a variety of other technologies. This session will discuss reproductive technologies being developed or used in beef females and the most recent data for successful synchronization and AI in both Bos Taurus and Bos Indicus-influenced cattle.

9:30 AM – 10:30 AM Marketing Your Operation

Room 352 Rachel Cutrer, Ranch House Designs, Founder & CEO/ V8 Ranch; Ashley Grant, Ranch House Designs, Chief Marketing Officer Have you ever been in your pasture and thought “My cattle look great... but how do I get more people to know about them?” This session will cover marketing and promoting your cattle operation through web, social, email, photography and print. This is a great session for purebred cattle producers, farm-to-table operations, students or anyone interested in marketing and communications.

Antimicrobial Resistance: Is it everywhere?

Room 343-345 Terry Arthur, PhD, Research Microbiologist, U.S. Meat Animal Research Center The increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human disease is a global health crisis. Speculation has been growing that antimicrobial use in food animal production is having a large effect on the increase in AMR observed in human clinical cases. Currently, associations are made between antimicrobial use in livestock populations and AMR in the associated environments without accounting for the ecological dynamics of AMR in native bacterial populations. This session will cover the impacts of nutrient enrichment and antimicrobial selection on the occurrence of AMR in livestock environments. #CATTLECON19 | 33

The Latest on Meat Substitutes

Room 356-357 Danielle Beck, Director of Government Affairs, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Mandy Carr - Johnson, PhD, Senior Executive Director, Science & Product Solutions, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Meat substitutes have been around for decades as an option for consumers who didn’t want to eat animal protein. Historically, none of these proteins have been able to replace animal proteins on consumers’ plates. How do these substitutes stack up to real beef? Join us for the latest look at how the beef industry is actively maintaining our place as the number one protein and an overview of the regulatory environment surrounding this topic. Room 252-254 Bob Weaber, PhD, eBeef Team, Professor/Extension Specialist, Kansas State University We often hear in business that, there are no free lunches. But, in genetics there can be! Come learn how you can make simple, structured, sustainable, and successful decisions to use crossbreeding in your herd. Managed heterosis, simple breeding systems and breed complementarity are the key value drivers we will discuss.

Crossbreeding – A Cattleman’s Free Ride

Managing a Dynamic System from Your Soil to the Feedyard

Room 238-239 Hugh Aljoe, Director, Producer Relations, Noble Research Institute, LLC Our farms/ranches are dynamic, biological systems requiring countless decisions each day. These decisions affect our soil, pasture and water resources, our equipment, our animals and their health, and ultimately, our bottom line. Designing and following a management plan is where it starts. Management plans reflect our values, our resources, and our goals, but they also help us manage individual issues--not in isolation--but relative to competing interests and the “system” of our operations. Room 255-257 Sara Place, PhD, Senior Director of Sustainable Beef Production Research, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Cattle are acting as “upcyclers” in our food system: rather than simply recycling, cattle are upgrading human-inedible plants and food waste into a high-quality and delicious protein, and essential micronutrients. In fact, cattle are more efficient at converting plants to high-quality protein than pigs and chickens. With the popularity of “plantbased” proteins, it’s time to take stock of beef’s contribution to the food system. Cattle are a mobile, self-replicating, fertilizing, solar-powered technology producing the original plant-based protein – beef.

Cattle’s Upcycling Super Power

Room 244-245 Tim McCallister, PhD, Principal Research Scientist, Ruminant Nutrition & Microbiology, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Think you live in a complicated world? Well, be glad you are not a rumen bug. This session will highlight the efforts to “Unravel the Secrets of the Rumen” for improved beef cattle health and production efficiency. Attend this session to gain new insight on how to make this fascinating microbial ecosystem work in your favor.

Unraveling Secrets of the Rumen

Keys to a Successful Breeding Program

Room 353-355 George Perry, PhD, Professor, South Dakota State University; Adam Summers, PhD, Assistant Professor, New Mexico State University Successfully implementing reproductive technologies in your herd involves more than just a few activities at the start of the breeding season. Implementing a successful breeding program requires attention to details and begins with the selection and proper development of heifers. Furthermore, the success of the breeding season is impacted by how cows are managed throughout the year. In this section learn how your overall herd management can impact the success of your breeding season.

10:45 AM – 11:45 AM Farming Without the Bank

Room 352 Mary Jo Irmen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, FiscalBridge, LLC. In this session Mary Jo Irmen will share the farm finance strategy allowing farmers to take back control, save family farms for generations and create a retirement that does not involve selling the farm. Learn how this 100-year-old strategy works by seeing real numbers and real strategies at any age. You’ll walk away with a new thought process around money you might not have considered before. Room 343-345 Christine Navarre, DVM, Extension Veterinarian, Louisiana State University Agricultural Center Having a solid herd health program is more than just a vaccination program. Join this session to discuss how nutrition, genetics, cattle handling, and other factors combine to impact herd health. Learn how a more complete herd health plan can set your cattle up for increased productivity and your operation up for increased profitability.

Herd Health Round-Up – Covering All the Bases

The Value and Cost of Quality

Room 356-357 Mark McCully, Vice President, Certified Angus Beef LLC Many cow-calf producers and feeders have modified the management at their operation to market cattle with more marbling, and the beef industry has increased production of Choice and Prime grading beef at an incredible rate. Explore how the marketplace has responded, what current trends suggest about future demand, and what production factors cattlemen need to consider to maintain profitability in their pursuit of high quality beef. Room 252-254 Jared Decker, PhD, eBeef Team, Associate Professor & State Beef Extension Specialist, University of Missouri Information is great, but to have the full impact, it needs to affect your profitability. So many of us are dealing with information overload, but selection Indexes offer an alternative. Used properly, they enable multiple performance traits to be emphasized simultaneously with profitability as the ultimate driver. Come learn how selection indexes can simplify your decisions and improve your bottom line.

Conservation Planning Partnerships & Programs

Room 238-239 Astor Boozer, Western Regional Conservationist and NCPP Co-Lead, NRCS; Jimmy Bramblett, Deputy Chief for Programs, NRCS; Jeff Goodwin, Conservation Stewardship Leader and Range Consultant, Noble Research Institute The National Conservation Planning Partnership (NCPP) was formed in 2015 to reinvigorate conservation planning by implementing goals, offering new tools and expanding training to enhance the capacities of those providing conservation planning assistance to grazingland owners and managers. This session will highlight emerging opportunities between conservation planning, grazing management plans, and conservation programs and will be especially relevant with the evolution of a new Farm Bill over the coming months. Real world examples of innovative on-the-ground practices will be shared.

International Beef Trade – What Next?

Room 255-257 Kent Bacus, Director, International Trade & Market Access, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association; Dan Halstrom, President & CEO, US Meat Export Federation Trade has been a hot topic in the media and in political discussions the past few years. This session features two leading authorities on beef trade who will go beyond the rhetoric to examine the current state of beef exports and the potential impact of U.S. trade policies on U.S. beef export markets. Which countries continue to import quality U.S. beef products and where can the industry look for future export expansion? Bring your questions for an interactive discussion on an often-misunderstood topic.

Changing Traditional Practices to Preserve Traditional Values Room 244-245 Dusty Abney, PhD, Cow/Calf Nutritionist, Cargill “What you’ve always done” might not always be in the best interest of your cattle. This session will explore the latest research, newest tools, and hottest topics in cow/ calf nutrition while debunking the myths that could be holding your herd back from optimum performance. In the end, you’ll feel empowered and equipped to modernize your nutrition program while preserving the values that have helped your operation succeed thus far.

Managing for Reproductive Success

Room 353-355 Reinaldo Cooke, PhD, Associate Professor, Beef Cattle Production, Texas A&M University; Ky Pohler, PhD, Associate Professor, Beef Cattle Production, Texas A&M University A successful breeding program does not end when the last cow is AI’ed or even when the bull is removed. Pregnancy status needs to be determined! Knowing pregnancy status not only lets you know the success of the breeding season but allows you to properly manage pregnant cows to ensure optimal productivity of the offspring. In this session you will learn the current and future of pregnancy determination and how post breeding management can impact offspring performance.

84 | 2019 CATTLE INDUSTRY CONVENTION & NCBA TRADE SHOW

WELCOME FROM THE NCBA PRESIDENT My fellow producers, From education, business and enjoyment perspectives, the 2019 Cattle Industry Annual Convention and NCBA Trade Show in New Orleans is the place to be this week. There are so many educational sessions… informational opportunities… fascinating discussions… fun and entertaining shows and performances that you won’t run short of wonderful stories to share with the folks back home. In other words, chances are what happens in New Orleans won’t stay in New Orleans. The NCBA Trade Show itself, with more than 350 exhibitors on 7+ acres, could provide hours of memories and ideas. Then there’s the World Class Education you can take home from Cattlemen’s College; that is also worth sharing. Some of the industry’s most knowledgeable people are giving face-to-face suggestions for making cattle operations more successful, efficient and profitable. Business meetings are important, of course, but can we talk about entertaining and enlightening? Terry Bradshaw, former Pittsburgh Steeler great, shouldn’t be missed at the Opening General Session Wednesday. New Orleans style and tastes will be extensive throughout the Convention. And having Big & Rich wind up the event at their Friday night concert will just put icing on the cake. We can’t overemphasize the importance of what you and other cattle producers are doing at both Policy and Checkoff meetings here at the Convention. Our Policy committees are developing positions on very critical issues facing our industry, while Checkoff committees are reviewing those programs developed to help build demand for our product. With your work in these areas we will help keep our adversaries from getting the upper hand. Thanks for being here and doing that. Yes, we have all heard the saying “been there, done that,” and it’s often said scornfully or with disrespect. But after your participation in this 2019 Convention, you will find many ways to excitedly tell people who didn’t make the trek that you have “Been There!” and “Done That!”, proudly and over and over again. We’re so glad you have joined us in New Orleans! I look forward to working and playing you in these fabulous surroundings. Yours truly,

Kevin Kester Parkfield, CA 2018 NCBA President #CATTLECON19 | 85

WELCOME FROM CBB CHAIRMAN Dear Fellow Checkoff Investors, Welcome to New Orleans! I’d like to personally thank you for taking time from your busy schedules to join us for the 2019 Cattle Industry Convention. Every year, during this week, producers from all facets of the cattle industry come together to learn about the latest information and trends. As a member of the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, I find the most exciting and important aspects of this convention to be the priority-setting that takes place during checkoff program committee meetings. These priority-setting sessions serve as a vital piece to the annual checkoff planning process. This is the first step in setting the tone for where your checkoff dollars will be used in the next fiscal year. I encourage you to sit in on as many of these meetings as your schedule allows. As a checkoff investor, it is important to understand all the thought and processes that go into the consideration of every single dollar invested in our Beef Checkoff program. As producers, we live and breathe our industry every day. It’s a part of our way of life, our family heritage, and our communities. I am proud to work alongside all of you. It has been an honor serving as your Cattlemen’s Beef Board Chairman. Sincerely,

Joan Ruskamp Dodge, NE Cattlemen’s Beef Board Chair

The Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board (CBB) administers the national Beef Checkoff Program, subject to USDA approval and in coordination with the Federation of State Beef Councils and Qualified State Beef Councils nationwide.

During the 2018 winter meeting, Beef Board members will review and evaluate current checkoff-funded promotion, education, research and information programs aimed at maintaining strong consumer acceptance of, and preference for beef and beef products. Checkoff committees also will begin setting goals for checkoff programs in FY 2020, which begins Oct. 1, 2019. Beef Board members will elect 2019 officers, including chairman, vice chairman and secretary/treasurer, as well as members of the Beef Board Executive Committee and the Beef Promotion Operating Committee for the coming year. The Beef Board welcomes all producers and importers who pay the checkoff to attend CBB and joint checkoff committee meetings at no cost, to observe and participate in the decision-making process for their beef checkoff.

CATTLEFAX PRESIDENTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S WELCOME

he CattleFax Board of Directors and staff welcomes you to the Big Easy! We are pleased that you have taken the time out of your busy schedule to attend these meetings and trust you will find your time well spent and thought provoking.

We will be holding our CattleFax Outlook Seminar and annual meeting on Thursday, January 31st from 7:30 am to 9:30 am in the Great Hall. The market absorbed record large beef, pork and poultry supplies in 2018. Per capita consumption of red meat and poultry has increased nearly 20 pounds since the 2014 lows yet prices held together well. Export demand was excellent for the 3rd year in a row in spite of the trade tensions and tariff retaliation. Domestic demand has been strong as a result of the booming U.S. economy. Is this growth sustainable? Prices held at or slightly above expectations for the year which kept most industry participants profitable and many are asking can producers stay profitable in the midst of the cycle peak in production in the next few years. CattleFax staff will provide an in-depth look at each of these key market movers and provide a detailed outlook for 2019 and beyond. We will also share with you a few ideas and tools to help you manage the ongoing volatility and risk in the marketplace so that you remain profitable even with the record large protein supplies in 2019 and 2020. Dr. Art Douglas predicted a year ago that the weather pattern would move back into El Nino by the fall of 2018 and turn wet. He was right on! What is in store for your area in the next 6-12 months? Dr. Art will deliver his 41st long-term outlook in conjunction with the CattleFax Outlook Seminar. This session will be a once in a year opportunity full of facts, figures and stimulating insights to help you formulate your business plan and strategy for the coming years. We hope you will take the time to come and listen. We promise you will be glad you did. Make plans to come by our booth at the tradeshow #543 and talk with our staff. We would be happy to visit with you about how we may be able to assist you on a regular basis and also to catch up on the markets. You will like some of the latest technology that CattleFax has invested in. Welcome! Sincerely,

ANCW PRESIDENT’S WELCOME It is great to see that you were able to find the time and resources to “Geaux” to New Orleans for the 2019 Cattle Industry Convention and Trade Show. I sincerely hope that we can meet or exceed your expectations. Our annual convention gives us a great opportunity to gather as members from coast to coast and border to border in one location to harness the energy and enthusiasm of our outstanding organization. Our goal to “Tell Our Story” is dependent on all the people and organizations that are a part of our beef industry. ANCW is one of those organizations in which our goal is to empower women who have a passion for the beef industry. At ANCW we strive to hold our meetings and activities early in the week, so our members can spend the latter part of the week interacting with our peers from the other national organizations. We are starting with meetings on Monday morning and then will have a tour of local agriculture operations. Our agenda also includes topics from traceability to marketability to happenings on the legislative issues on the Hill. We want to stay active and engaged in the issues affecting the beef industry today and in the future. Our vision “To be a voice for women who share a passion for the beef industry” and our purpose “A beef community dedicated to growing beef demand through education, development and legislative activities.” are strengthened and enhanced by the interaction and exchanging of ideas among such a diverse group of active beef industry members. Let’s Geaux to New Orleans for the ANCW meeting January 28-30th, 2019. Sincerely,

Gwen Geis 2018 ANCW President Gilette, WY
