Central Life Sciences

The horn fly menace costs the beef industry upwards of $1 billion per year in lost productivity. A “do-nothing” approach to control can be costly. It’s crucial to get ahead of the horn fly season, so control for the spring begins now. Starting Altosid® IGR in feed supplements 30 days before horn fly emergence and continuing throughout the season means your herd will be protected all summer long. Do something against horn flies. Add Altosid® IGR to your feed supplement now. To learn more, visit AltosidIGR.com or talk to your supplement provider.

When We Started, This Was The Future

#CattleCon20 10 | #CATTLECON20

We didn’t set out to be a pioneer in agriculture and food technology. It just happens when you develop innovative products that revolutionize the industry. We built the first Clipper seed and grain cleaners in 1869 while our Ferrell-Ross division has specialized in manufacturing equipment for particle size reduction and flaking processes since 1939.

Constant innovation at our factory in the American heartland is delivered to customers around the world. We’re proud of our past but we’re even more excited about our future. By combining our documented history of innovation with our commitment to customer service, we can look forward to the next 150 years of products that are “Engineered Without Compromise.”

D. - Corporate Vice President and President of Protein Products and Sustainability for Golden State Foods RECOMMENDED SESSIONS BASED Dr. Wayne Morgan currently serves as a Corporate Vice President and President of ON YOUR Protein Products and Sustainability for Golden State Foods (GSF), a diverse, $4 billion supplier to more than 125,000 restaurant chains and retail stores with food INDUSTRY SEGMENT.

7:30AM - 8:30AM | Stars At Night Ballroom B1 - B3 While it may seem that all issues get pushed down to the producers, sustainability efforts are important to all segments of the beef industry. In this session we will look at why this issue is important, how the entire industry is addressing sustainability topics and what progress is being made.

products and services. He is responsible for all protein and sustainability related business activities for the company. Tryon Wickersham, PhD. - Associate Professor, Texas A&M University

Dr. Tryon Wickersham is an associate professor in the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University. Dr. Wickersham’s research focuses on improving the economic and environmental sustainability of beef cattle production by improving the efficiency of forage utilization and the adoption of coproducts as a feed resource.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5 | SESSION DESCRIPTIONS INTENTIONAL FORAGE MANAGEMENT AND GRAZING

8:45AM - 9:45AM SEEING, STUDYING AND SEIZING OPPORTUNITY FOR EXPANSION

Hugh Aljoe, Director, Producer Relations, Noble Research Institute, LLC Jeff Goodwin, Conservation Stewardship Leader & Ag Consultant, Noble Research Institute, LLC

Enterprise expansion is almost always front-of-mind for progressive managers. This final discussion will build on the previous three and show participants how a successful ranch identifies and evaluates opportunities to expand cattle operations.

Learn about planned management and grazing of native rangelands and introduced pastures to enhance soil health, extend the grazing season, build ecosystem functions, and plant productivity. Producers will learn about grazing options such as annual cover crops, forage diversification, and stockpiling of perennial and annual forages in complement to beef production systems. Regional producers will provide their insight and outcomes on case studies.

C. Tylor Braden, Area Manager - Cattle Operation, King Ranch, Inc.

Room 221A

THE ULTIMATE VALUE OF BREEDING SOUNDNESS EVALUATIONS

George Perry, PhD, Professor and Beef Reproduction Specialist, South Dakota State University One of the questions often asked is “if all these bulls passed a breeding soundness exam, why did one have better conception than another?” The real question is what does a current breeding soundness evaluation cover and what do the results really mean? Are there ways to know which bulls will have better fertility? Recent research has investigated methods for predicting differences in bull fertility.

Room 221BC

Mark Alley, DVM, Technical Service Veterinarian, Zoetis

In all aspects of animal health, preventing disease is the key component for a successful operation. But inevitably some animals will become sick. This session will focus on common diseases (calf scours and pre-weaning respiratory disease) that producers are likely to encounter. How, what, when, and why do we treat the individual? What data should be captured to help the veterinarian develop a treatment and/or preventative plan for the future?

Room 301

PRECISION BREEDING AND YOU DON’T NEED A GPS! Darrh Bullock, PhD, eBeef Team, Extension Professor, Beef Cattle Genetics, University of Kentucky

This presentation will highlight breeding tools available and how to use those tools to attain specific breeding objectives. It will outline the process of setting production goals through identifying markets and assessing resources to determine specific needs for targeted bull selection, such as heifer acceptable, maternal, terminal or some combination. Discussion will include the best utilization of breeding practices, such as crossbreeding systems, EPDs and Selection Indices.

Room 302

CONSUMER EXPECTATIONS AND THE EVOLVING SCIENCE OF ANIMAL WELFARE Shawn Darcy, Director of Market Research, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association | Lily Edwards-Callaway, PhD, Assistant Professor, Colorado State University Although the world of “animal welfare science” sometimes sounds foreign to producers, the principles used in research to assess cattle welfare may not be different from on-farm efforts through programs like Beef Quality Assurance. This presentation will utilize BQA as a framework to discuss attributes of an animal and its environment that are important in understanding animal well-being in addition to sharing what’s important to consumers regarding animal care.

Room 303

10:00AM - 11:00AM TECH TOOLS TO DRIVE EFFICIENCY AND PROFIT

Join this session to review technologies in use across the industry today. Learn how they work, the value proposition and hear from ranchers and feeders first-hand how these tools have improved their operations.

Room 221A

SEMEN QUALITY, QUANTITY, AND GETTING COWS BRED

Joe Dalton, Ph. D., Associate Professor & State Beef Extension Specialist, University of Idaho Sperm dosage per artificial insemination (AI) continues to be a hot topic. Seminal deficiencies, seen as reduced fertility, which can be overcome or minimized by increasing sperm dosage, are considered “compensable.” Is more always better? A recent large field study provides evidence of appropriate sperm dosage per AI for a group of bulls, and the difficulty in predicting bull fertility.

Room 221BC

MAKING ANTIBIOTICS WORK FOR YOU IN THE MODERN ERA

Brandi Karisch, Ph. D., Associate Professor, Extension Beef Cattle Specialist, Mississippi State University | Amelia Woolums, DVM, Professor, Mississippi State University Metaphylaxis has been one of the most effective strategies for combating BRD, but the practice may be compromised by spread of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens. MDR isolates of Mannheimia haemolytica can be found in 90% of some cattle 14 days after metaphylaxis. This session will cover strategies to mitigate the use of antibiotics to ensure their effectiveness with research focusing on the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Room 301

COOL GENES FOR HOT CATTLE

Raluca Mateescu, PhD, Professor, University of Florida | Jared Decker, PhD, Associate Professor & State Beef Extension Specialist, University of Missouri Climatic stress is a major limiting factor of production efficiency in beef cattle in tropical and subtropical environments. More than half of the cattle in the world are maintained in hot and humid environments, including about 40% of beef cows in the United States. This session reviews use of genomic tools to produce an animal with superior ability for both thermal adaptation and food production, representing a sustainable approach to address global climate change.

WHEN AND HOW TO INTERVENE WHEN OUR PREVENTION STRATEGIES ARE NOT PERFECT

Room 304

BEEF DEMAND: IT’S WAY MORE COMPLEX THAN YOU THINK

Lauren Bell-Clark, Supply Chain Associate, Oklahoma State University Derrell Peel, Breedlove Professor of Agribusiness, Oklahoma State University This session provides detailed information about the complexities of beef demand – how it is determined and how unique demand attributes for each cut impacts the rest of the carcass. The information summarizes research that demonstrates the impact of production, consumer and market trends, exports, distribution, further processing and other beef marketing sectors that make understanding beef demand a growing challenge.

Room 303

SUPPLEMENTING FORAGES ON A BUDGET Eric Bailey, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of Missouri Providing supplemental feed to cattle grazing rangeland is a common practice across the western United States. Managing cattle grazing dormant rangelands effectively requires understanding fundamental concepts of beef cattle nutrition. This session will cover when and how much to feed, depending on various stages of production. Also discussed will be some of the myths surrounding feeding supplements during the winter or during periods of drought.

Room 304

cattlemen’s college

11:15AM - 12:15PM ESTATE AND SUCCESSION PLANNING: KEY CONCEPTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION

Roger McEowen, J.D. Professor of Agricultural Law and Taxation, Washburn University - School of Law Transitioning the farming or ranching operation to the next generation involves family chemistry and good planning. What are the key “landmines” to avoid and how can they be avoided to make a successful transition? This session covers practical planning steps to take to minimize tax and legal issues during and after the transition, and how to structure the business for a smooth transition.

HOW MUCH DO GENETICS AND MANAGEMENT MATTER?

Tommy Perkins , PhD, Associate Professor, West Texas A&M University Tom Brink, CEO, Red Angus Association of America Feeders and packers demand more performance, management and genetic information, as the value of undocumented cattle become more unstable. Premiums exist for producers willing to participate in value-added programs, which continue to put upward pressure on production of Choice or better grade beef. This session will examine ways to balance this pressure with the use of planned crossbreeding to maintain environmentally adapted females for improved sustainability.

Room 302

KEEPING BEEF ON THE PLATE

Shalene McNeill, Ph. D., Executive Director Nutrition Science, Health Science, Culinary & Outreach, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Danielle Beck, Director of Government Affairs, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Every five years, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans are reviewed and updated by the USDA and the Department of Health and Human Services. These guidelines serve as the basis for federal nutrition policy and are considered the “gold standard” for school lunch programs. Join this session for an overview of the political and scientific environment surrounding this topic and how NCBA and the Beef Checkoff are maintaining beef’s role as the number one protein.

Room 303

NUTRITION MYTHS BUSTED

Wesley Moore, Beef Technical Specialist, Cargill Premix & Nutrition Dusty Abney, PhD, Cow/Calf Nutritionist, Cargill Premix & Nutrition When it comes to nutrition, there’s no shortage of suggestions, myths and misconceptions. This session will address some of the most common myths about mineral nutrition while challenging producers to think about their nutrition program holistically.

Room 304

Room 221A

UNDERSTANDING SEXED SEMEN & SIRE INFLUENCE ON THE EMBRYO Ky Pohler, PhD, Assistant Professor, Texas A&M University | Jordan Thomas, PhD, Assistant Extension Professor, University of Missouri Embryonic mortality is the major limiting factor in reproductive efficiency, with mounting evidence the bull drives a sizable amount of embryonic mortality and pregnancy loss. Recent data suggest ways to determine bull fertility to maximize reproductive efficiency. Sexed semen has been used to produce heifer calves in the dairy industry, but does it have a place in the beef industry? Come learn possible benefits from using sexed semen in your herd and the best way to successfully use it.

Room 221BC

CAPTURING MAXIMUM VALUE FROM YOUR VCPR Keelan Lewis, DVM The relationship between a veterinarian and a producer, formally known as a Veterinary Client Patient Relationship, is often underutilized and misunderstood. This talk will be a discussion of points from a veterinarian, owner, and manager perspective. Expect to receive some outside the box ideas about how to capitalize on the financial benefits of a strong relationship with your veterinarian.

THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT: LESSONS FROM A YEAR IN SPACE

Sponsored by During his record-breaking year In Space, U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly captivated the world while laying the groundwork for the future of space travel and exploration. And while science was at the core of Kelly’s groundbreaking expedition—it is his life lessons and personal stories from 229 miles above Earth and the path that led him there that provide such unique and valuable perspective on embracing risk and discovering one’s true potential to achieve the impossible. With a journey that exemplifies the power and resilience of the human spirit, from U.S. Navy fighter pilot to record-holding astronaut, Kelly reveals the choices and life events that paved his way. An American hero whose contribution to humanity is as far reaching as his epic story, Kelly reflects on his journey with his trademark candor, humor and humility. From the leadership and teamwork required in such demanding conditions, to the long-term deprivation from loved ones and Planet Earth itself. Join us as Kelly delivers a truly one-of-akind experience. EMCEE - CLINT HARP

Cowboys WhoCare 2019 TRAILBLAZER AWARD

Collinge Cattle Co.

NATIONAL STOCKER AWARD Sponsored by

“We’re willing to change things to make it work better for the cattle. Cattle will tell you what works and what doesn’t work,” Cowboys Who Care Foundation is the brainchild of president, founder and CEO, William Lee Martin. In 2010, Martin, a comedian and writer, was asked to perform at a fundraising golf tournament for a young fan named Ashley Miller from Celina, Texas, who was battling a rare form of cancer. Martin said, “Ashley’s story had such an impact on me. And when she bravely lost her battle in June 2011, I knew I wanted to help other kids like her. Then one day I searched on my computer, ‘Kids with cancer – images’ and found all these pictures of kids with big, beautiful smiles and bald heads. And in the mirror, I could see my cowboy hat and it hit me, these kids need cowboy hats.” Ashley’s smile, her strength and her spirit will always be in our hearts. She inspired a movement. And she will never be forgotten.

says Mike Collinge of Collinge Cattle Co., in Hamilton, Kans., winner of this year’s National BEEF Stocker Award. The Collinges start calves for themselves, aimed for Flint Hills pasture. They also custom graze for long-time customers. Mike and his wife, Pam, started from scratch in 1979. They and their son, Glen, along with valued, long-time employees handle the daily operations. Glen’s wife, Rachel, and the Collinge daughters, Aubrey Arnold and Leslie Fritz have their own careers, but they and their families remain involved in the business, one way or the other. Read about Collinge Cattle Co. and the National Stocker Award in the December, 2019 issue of BEEF magazine or online at beefmagazine.com.

BEST REMUDA AWARD

The American Quarter Horse has always been the horse of choice for cowboys and Kineños. The AQHA Best Remuda Award recognizes a ranch in the United States for its dedication to its American Quarter Horse breeding program and commitment to the ranching industry.

2020 NCBA OFFICERS

elcome to the 2020 Cattle Industry Annual Convention and NCBA Trade Show! San Antonio is a terrific place to be, especially this time of year. We’re looking forward to all kinds of business and pleasure opportunities for every attendee at this event. For many people, a highlight is the NCBA Trade Show, which this year will be the most impressive ever conducted for the cattle industry. The sold-out event covers about eight acres and has more than 350 exhibitors, who are excited to share information on their products and services with you. Yes, it’s a huge amount of ground to cover, but a more extensive demonstration of value for the cattle industry can’t be found anywhere. It has also become more than just a traditional trade show, offering refreshments and entertainment on the floor and educational elements that will have you walking away better informed about how your operation can be more successful. If education to help advance your business is what you seek, you’ll also find it at Cattlemen’s College, sponsored by Zoetis. Now in its 27th year, the event is a place to Connect, Learn and Innovate, and this year’s sessions are sure to deliver a wealth of information from very knowledgeable people.

Jennifer Houston, TN President

Marty Smith, FL President-Elect

Todd Wilkinson, SD NCBA Vice Chairman Policy Division

Entertainment can be found everywhere. You’ll especially enjoy the Sunset Music Festival Thursday night at historic Sunset Station and our PBR NCBA Invitational Friday at the Alamodome. Business is as important as fun, of course, and plenty will be conducted in San Antonio. Beef checkoff committees will review progress in the 2020 program of work, while NCBA policy committees will develop up-to-date positions for our organization. You’re an important part of that effort, and I hope you will attend the meetings and make your voice heard.

Jerry Bohn, KS Vice President Joe Guild, NV Treasurer

Don’t forget to take the time to get together with old – and new – friends. This is another reason you come to this event every year, I hope. While working day to day we don’t always have a chance to enjoy each other’s company. This is a great time to do that. So, enjoy your time in San Antonio! We’re so glad you’re here with us.

The American National CattleWomen held their meetings the beginning of the week. We will have passed and moved forward 19 resolutions for our membershp to use during the coming year. We will have had legislative updates, public land information passed on, and learned about the American Meat Institute. As a member you could have attended a class on Turning Visions into Legacies, estate planning. Our half day tour this year included Texana Feeders and Dean & Peeler Meat Works. Being a member of ANCW gives you many chances of being informed. On Tuesday, we installed Evelyn Greene of Auburn, Ala. as our 2020 ANCW President. We are very proud to say we have had three Women in Ranching Education Development (WIRED) events in 2019, Florida, Oklahoma and Montana. We were able to accomplish this with the help of our national sponsors and the state local sponsors. Look for a WIRED event in your state. When enjoying the NCBA Trade Show make sure you stop by the ANCW booth #324. Visit with our members in the booth. SIgn up to become a member and you will be able to register for a CATTLEVACBOX drawing. Thank you for attending! Thank you for being a member! With your membership you gain so much wealth.

elcome to San Antonio! On behalf of the CattleFax Board of Directors and staff we would like to thank each of you for attending the 2020 Cattle Industry convention. We trust you will find the time you spend in meetings and with other cattle producers and participants enjoyable and time well spent. We hope to see you at the CattleFax Outlook Seminar and annual meeting on Thursday, February 6th from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM in Exhibit Hall One of the Harry B. Gonzales Convention Center. The Industry sustained and survived several headwinds in 2019 such as excessive moisture and even a fire at a major packing facility. Offsetting those factors has been outstanding demand for Beef. While no one can forecast the possible headwinds that will affect the Industry in 2020, we can look at supplies and demand for all proteins as well as expectations for imports and exports of not only beef, but pork and poultry as well, especially considering the ongoing African Swine Fever crisis for the hog herds through parts of Europe and the Far East. CattleFax staff will present an in-depth look at each of these important market movers and provide an outlook for 2020 and beyond. We can all see how the events in 2019 kept market volatility at a historically high level and we will share some strategies for dealing what we expect to be another year of wide market swings in 2020. Dr. Art Douglas will be on hand to present his much-anticipated weather forecast for 2020. This will be Dr. Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 42nd long-term weather outlook in conjunction with the CattleFax Outlook Seminar at Convention. This session will be a canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss 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, #1761 at the tradeshow 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 to catch up on the markets. We will also share with you the latest technology that CattleFax has invested in. Hope to see you there! Sincerely,

Don Quincey 2019 CattleFax President Chiefland, FL

Every year at this convention, the Checkoff committees gather. This is your chance to see where your Checkoff investments are going! As a member of the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, the priority-setting that takes place during checkoff program committee meetings is imperative to how the Checkoff operates. As members of the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, it is our fiduciary responsibility to listen, learn and ask questions during these meetings to allow the Checkoff to continue to always be producer and importer driven. These 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.
