adies and gentlemen, now introducing your 2015 starting line up from Woodstock, Ohio. The five foot four inch dynamic duo…Frani and Cati LeVan. The five foot eleven fast and fierce forward…number 14, Hadley LeVan. The powerhouse and work horse…number 18, Harrison LeVan. And last but certainly not least, the six foot MVP, leading the team to countless victories…number 21, Hank LeVan. Their team, the Bulldogs, have a lot to look forward to in the coming years with their promising young prospect, Holden LeVan. I see him being a crucial player coming off the bench in 2016, and we can’t forget the coaches that make seasons like this possible…Louis and Missy LeVan.” With the 2015 NBA season recently coming to a close, many of us can still hear the voices of Mark Jackson and Jeff 10 | Ohio Cattlemen’s Association | The Ring 2015
Van Gundy ringing in our ears, as they broadcasted from the final series. The LeVan family and their passion for the game of basketball stayed tuned in as the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors fought hard for a national title. Although the Cavs did not clench the title, the LeVan family is still hopeful for more victories in their near future. In the beautiful rolling hills of Champaign County, the LeVan family owns and operates LeVanderosa Farms consisting of standard bred race horses, club pigs, their dogs Franco and Ollie, and of course the cattle. Their herd consists of approximately 30 Shorthorn, Angus, Simmental, Chianina and crossbred cows. Ten of the cows are their own recips, while another 20 are leased from a farm in Cable, Ohio.

Feature involved with cattle, Hank, 21 and a junior at Western Illinois University, recalls his first years in 4-H. “My dad and I went to the Ohio Shorthorn Association Sale. I decided I wanted a heifer and to start raising my own cattle. We bid on three or four and ended up getting the last heifer in the sale. The only one that wasn’t broke,” laughs Hank. “I tell them if they would have started me off with a turkey, they would have saved a lot of money.” In just over a decade of showing, the LeVan family has grown tremendously in their skill set. They have learned how to do all of their own washing, blowing and clipping, thanks to their observant nature. “We are our own crew. That’s probably what I’m most excited about, being able to do that as a family and knowing at the end of the day if they don’t look right, we don’t have anyone else to blame,” said Hank. With four of the LeVan kids in 4-H and Holden, 8, who will be able to join in the fun next year, the LeVan family’s success in the show ring is just getting started. This year Hadley, 14, received the title of Reserve Champion ShorthornPlus at the Ohio Beef Expo. In 2014, he won the Reserve Champion Shorthorn Heifer in the junior show at the Ohio State Fair, and Champion Shorthorn Heifer in the
12 | Ohio Cattlemen’s Association | The Ring 2015
open show, and went on to place second in showmanship for his age division. Frani, 11, also earned a title at the Ohio State Fair in 2014 receiving Champion Simmental Influence Heifer in the open show. Success with the cattle goes back several years. In 2013, Hadley received the Champion Maine-Anjou Female at the Ohio State Fair. Champion ShorthornPlus Female in the junior show and Reserve Champion ShorthornPlus in the open show went to Harrison, 18. At the 2012 state fair, Hank earned the title of Reserve Champion ShorthornPlus Female in the junior show, and the list goes on of various county and state victories. One of the accomplishments the family is most proud of took place at the Champaign County Fair. “In all of history, we are the only ones to have the winners for every age group in showmanship,” said Missy. This outstanding performance took place in 2013. It’s easy to see where this family’s passion for cattle comes from when you look at their parents, Missy and Louis. The family purchased the Woodside Veterinary Hospital in September of 1994. They are a mixed animal practice that takes care of everything but exotics. The practice tends to run about 65

percent small animal and 35 percent large animal, and provides the veterinarian services at the Champaign County Fair. For the last seven years, Woodside Veterinary Hospital has been voted the best in Union County. The hard work of their parents has inspired the LeVan kids to do their best at everything they participate in, but it isn’t always rainbows and butterflies when it comes to the cows. When asked what their least favorite part of working on the farm was, Holden was quick to answer, “Getting up early!” Most of the kids were in agreeance that they don’t particularly care for mucking out stalls, either. On the flip side, the kids are very appreciative of all the relationships they have made through the cattle industry. “My favorite thing would be the people that you meet showing cattle,” said Hadley. “Spending time with family and friends is really what it’s all about.” Hank mentioned that the Boyert family has
been a tremendous resource and mentor to the family. Although the family is extremely happy and grateful for their many accomplishments, they want to continuously improve. “Just looking back and reflecting, I laugh about what we used to think was right. We learn more every day,” said Hank. The evaluation side of things is an area where the family is continually growing. Hank was named an All-American on the livestock judging team while attending Black Hawk College in Illinois. He placed in the top 15 as an individual at NAILE, National Western and Houston. Hadley is following in his footsteps and won the state livestock judging contest in 2014. With a bright future ahead of them, this family has many goals they hope to achieve. “I would like to place first at the county fair, and be in the WNBA or work in a hospital,” said Cati. Hadley hopes The Ring 2015| Ohio Cattlemen’s Association | 13
Feature to win Supreme Heifer at the Ohio State Fair, win a breed at NAILE and play Division 1 basketball, and Holden plans on starting his career in 4-H next year and doing his best not to get last. Harrison and Hank will continue working toward their degrees. Harrison will be attending East Tennessee State for pre-med and plans to go on to medical school. Hank will return to Western Illinois to finish up his bachelor’s in animal science. As far as the cattle operation goes, “I would like to continue to develop the program here and breed cattle that work both inside and outside the show ring,” said Hank. They plan to double the size of their herd over the coming years, and would like to hold an online or live sale. These terrific young people know what it takes be successful and they know

they wouldn’t be where they are without some help and guidance. “We owe everything to our parents and all of the help and encouragement they have given us over the years,” said Hank. Who’s to say if these kids will make it to the NBA and WNBA, but whether or not they do, we expect to see great things from them in the future. v

EID Requirements for 2015-16 BEST Sanctioned Show Season All cattle are required to have an EID tag prior to arriving at a BEST sanctioned show in the 2015-16 show season. The information below will provide you with the resources to get your farm’s Premise ID and to order tags prior to your first BEST show. The purpose of the electronic identification (EID) livestock tag is for efficient tracking not only for producers, but also effective traceability in the event of an animal disease outbreak to protect the health of our herds. EID tags provide producers efficiencies when tracking weight gains with input conversion, breeding and calving records. They are also being utilized at most larger exhibitions to speed up the check-in process and help break classes.
The Process
Cattlemen obtain a Premise ID number for their farm and are then able to order tags from an EID tag distributor. Their farm’s Premise ID is unique to them and their EID tags are tied to it. Therefore they should not loan EID tags to neighbors and fellow cattlemen that do not reside at the address linked to the Premise ID number. Cattle producers who are marketing show cattle are encouraged to apply EID tags to the animals that they buy and resell.
To Get a Premise ID
Livestock producers apply for a Premise Identification (ID) that is issued by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Premise ID application is a one page form and Premise ID numbers are assigned within a few days of application or immediately through the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s website.
How to order EID tags
Once you have your Premise ID, you simply contact your local animal health supplier and order your tags (allow at least 2 weeks for delivery). Each tag will be a 15 digit numeric tag. The first three digits are the county of origin. “840” is the United States’ origin code. Every EID tag manufacturer tracks where each order is sent by the Premise ID number used to place the order. 24 | Ohio Cattlemen’s Association | The Ring 2015
Why do we utilize EID tags?
The federal Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) rule for the identification of livestock moving across state lines (interstate) became effective March, 2013 and has increased the use of EID tags. ADT was developed to minimize disease impacts and protect export markets. Proper identification and recording of movements can allow more accurate tracking of animals potentially exposed to diseases. Although, the United States’ health protocols are stringent, with today’s interstate shipment of cattle, the possibility of a disease spreading rapidly is still a possibility. EID tags can be invaluable in tracing animals in the event of a disease outbreak. EID tags help officials determine where diseased animals are and where they’ve been. Each state provides a different set of health regulations for cattle that are coming into their state. These rules include cattle that are sold and purchased by out-of-staters. The federal government set standards for the ADT rule, but it is owned and administered by the states and uses existing systems such as Interstate Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (ICVIs) The ADT program applies to only certain classes of cattle and only to animals destined for interstate shipment. All sexually intact cattle 18 months of age or older fall under the rule, as do dairy-based cattle of any age or sex, and all cattle transported to shows, exhibits or rodeos. Beef calves and feeder cattle less than 18 months of age are not covered by the rule at this time. The federal intent is to address these classes of cattle in a separate future rulemaking process. The feasibility of reading tattoos or metal tags on a load of cattle is diminished with the process of having to put each one through a chute to verify the animal. The functionality of being able to scan the entire load of cattle from outside of the trailer with EID tags and download the information right to a smartphone is where the technology with EID tags is heading. The concept of electronically identifying cattle is catching on with different sectors of the beef industry. For more information on getting your farm’s Premise ID number, visit best.ohiocattle.org.

Show steer inspired Patton family to start raising Limousins
ike most farms with an unusual name, Patton’s Seldom Rest Farm has a story behind the name. For 70 years the Patton family farm near Hillsboro survived without having a formal name. All that changed in 1977 when the family had to list the farm’s name with the North American Limousin Association. “We were kind of at a loss and my aunt who came down to help us strip tobacco said ‘Well, I know what we should call it. It should be Seldom Rest because no one ever stops around here.’ And so it became Patton’s Seldom Rest Farm,” said Steve Patton, the third generation to farm the Highland County farm. Talk just a few minutes with Steve and his wife, Lynne, and it doesn’t take long to realize that the family lives up to the farm name. Steve is vice president of Highland Computer Forms and helps run the family’s 35 Limousin cows and manage his 300 acres. Lynne is kept busy running the

household and helping take care of four grandchildren and says that over the years she has been “runner, mother, babysitter and picture-taker.” When the couple married 34 years ago, Lynne knew nothing about farm life. The first 12 years of her life were spent in Daytona Beach, Fla., and when her family moved to her grandmother’s farm in Hillsboro, her father ran a gas station and didn’t farm. “I would not have life any different now,” she said. “I have absolutely grown to love it here on the farm.” For Steve, it was a Limousin cross fat steer that he showed at the state fair that led the family to start raising Limousins on the farm started by his grandfather in 1907. “(The steer) won his division and was third overall and that was back when you had 450 head of cattle showing,” Steve said. “We thought ‘Hey, this is the breed
The Ring 2015| Ohio Cattlemen’s Association | 71
Feature for us’ and we bought 16 cows.” Steve figured he’d be the one to take over the cattle side of the farm after his father died in 1991 because he enjoys being around the animals. At one time, the family farm had 125 cows. “I like raising calves,” he said. “I like selling a guy a bull and seeing how it changes his herd and selling a young Pictured are Steve and Lynne with their grandchildren.

“I’ve wanted to farm all my life. The ability to see God’s greatness in action is amazing. You get to see things born. You see the seeds grow out of the ground and you have to deal with the dying,” Steve said. “It’s just that whole process that’s amazing to me. That’s what I like about living and farming here.”
levels. Over the years, family vacations took place in the state where the National Junior Limousin Show was being held, and the friendships made on those trips have been valuable. Steve said the family could be stranded in almost any state and have somebody to call on to help them out because of the friendships made at the shows. “Showing was our life for quite awhile. We pretty much quit going to the beach to go to nationals,” Lynne said. “We would let our kids leave the barn and go with us and explore and look at what that state had to offer.” When their daughters showed their cattle, the Pattons always felt proudest when they got high marks in showmanship. It was the only time of a show that Lynne would become a bit nervous. “When your kids go in there and are competitive in showmanship, they’ve done all the hard work and their homework. Doing well in showmanship means they’re doing all the right things and to me that says a lot,” Steve said.
Steve Patton
Speaking of showing cattle, Lynne showed for the first time in her life last year. Well, sort of. She had to go in the ring at the Beef Expo with her oldest granddaughter, Samantha. “Anybody who knows us knows that’s a big deal because I have not been involved in that area. You do what you have to do for your grandkids,” she laughed. With son-in-law Riley Laber helping Steve with the crops on the farm and daughter Autumn married to a farmer in Kentucky, both Steve and Lynne are optimistic that their grandchildren, ages 7 to 1, may someday become the fifth generation to farm. “I’ve wanted to farm all my life. The ability to see God’s greatness in action is amazing. You get to see things born.

Feature Pictured are Jeff and Mark Hara of Hara Farms located in Mechanicsburg, Ohio.
Forty Years in the Making Their focus on genetics has led the Hara brothers to victory.
L
et’s go back to the year 1971. Gas was 40 cents a gallon, the Disney World theme park had just opened, Hot Wheels were all the rage, and Schearbrook Shoshone was born. This year, although insignificant to some, gave birth to one of the greatest Angus sires of all time. Fast forward 36 years to 2007. Miss USA steps into the ring at the American Royal in Kansas City winning Grand Champion % Female. She would go on to take the title at NAILE and National Western and would become the winningest Meyer 734 daughter in history. At this point, you are probably asking yourself, “What does this Angus bull and Simmental heifer have in common?” They are examples of over 40 years of the Hara family striving for the best possible genetics. The Hara brothers, Jeff and Mark, own and operate a 30 cow herd just outside 80 | Ohio Cattlemen’s Association | The Ring 2015
Story and Photos by Katie Gossett
Mechanicsburg, Ohio, with cooperator herds in Iowa and Kansas. Their focus is primarily Simmental with some Angus introduced to the herd in the last five years. Jeff and Mark didn’t start their operation on a whim. Their father, Chuck Hara was the president of Schearbrook Farms, where Schearbrook Shoshone originated. Schearbrook was one of the largest Angus operations in the country and had 10 farms nationwide with the headquarters in Dayton, Ohio. One of Chuck’s responsibilities was to continuously scout the country trying to improve Schearbrook’s genetics. Improving genetics every year is the main goal of the Hara’s operation. “We not only look for the best one, but the one that has the right kind of genetics,” said Mark. “They are just more valuable if you can get both sides to line up.” When asked what has had the biggest impact on their herd, both brothers agreed.
Feature “We started with the best AI bulls we could get, and even went to sales and bought the best females, but embryo transfer is what changed things more than anything,” said Jeff. “The biggest turning point we had was when we were in Denver looking at a string of cattle where every animal was out of the same cow. We realized that if you find the right female, everything else will follow,” said Jeff. They couldn’t have been more right. Miss USA was the Hara’s first Denver champion. “When she showed everyone was like ‘She’s the prettiest one. She’s the deepest one. She’s the longest one,” said Jeff. Since Miss USA, Jeff and Mark have had 2013 and 2015 Denver Champions with half-sisters to Miss USA. Over 15 years ago, the first year they flushed with Trans Ova, they were told that if they flushed 10 or more eggs they were doing well. Haras averaged over 25 embryos per flush. “Fertility is very important with our herd. We sell embryos in every major auction in the country and market over 100 each year,” said Jeff. Along with finding the right females, Jeff and Mark prefer to only use proven bulls. “We very rarely use young bulls,” said

Miss USA, raised by the Hara brothers, won the Triple Crown in 2008, by earning the Champion title at the American Royal, NAILE and National Western.
Mark. “We’ve done it with Broker, but we thought he was an exceptional calf.” After they used Broker, he ended up winning practically every show in the country. Although only four of Hara’s calves were sired by him, one of them was Champion at Denver and sold for $190,000. Other victories in the brother’s repertoire include 2015 Champion % Simmental Heifer at Denver and 2015 Supreme Female at the Kentucky Beef Expo. In 2014 they racked up wins at Hoosier Beef Congress, Kansas Beef Expo and Keystone International. Although Jeff and Mark spend a great deal of time with the cattle, they both hold full time positions off the farm. Jeff attended veterinary school at The Ohio
Feature State University and is now the Manager of Professional Services Veterinarians at ABAXIS, the second largest firm for selling blood analyzers to vets in the world. Mark also attended Ohio State for his undergrad and went on to receive his master’s degree in business from the University of Dayton. He is currently working as the vice-President of Marketing for Nationwide. Both Jeff and Mark competed on the livestock judging teams while at Ohio State. Jeff earned the honor of high individual at Louisville during his time on the team, and Mark second overall individual. Even with full time jobs off of the farm, the Hara brothers have managed to keep growing and advancing their herd. “The biggest change we’ve made in the last three years is going to almost all sexed semen to get more females. That’s really raised our potential to get better ones,” said Jeff. Mark commented that they are in constant pursuit of the next new technology to help them. “If you don’t try things differently, why should you expect different results?” said Mark. “We would love to be able to look under a microscope and see which one is going to be the winner.” Even though there is currently no technology to pick a winner through the microscope, the Hara’s success in the Simmental breed has been phenomenal. Almost all of the brother’s cattle are sold via private treaty. “We’ve been pretty fortunate to work with some of the best people,” said Mark. Watching the hard work of the families they sell cattle to pay off is the most rewarding part to Jeff and Mark. “The other thing that makes us happy is when we see our customer do as well or better than we did. That’s what this is all about. We want to continue to see our customers out perform their goals,” said Jeff. Much of the brother’s success they attribute to the support of their families.
Miss Princess, a Broker daughter, was raised by the Haras and shown by Maddie Udell. She earned the Champion % Simmental Heifer and sold for $190,000 in Denver.
Mark and his wife, Robyn, have two children, Lauren and Blake. Jeff has four sons, Andrew, Mitchell, Clayton and Jason, with his wife, Susan. Their mother, Shirlee, has an incomparable work ethic, which has inspired the brothers throughout their childhood and adult lives. “Even though she grew up in the city, we showed every single species you could show at the fair. If we didn’t show them, we judged them,” said Jeff. Their father’s reputation and his integrity are known nationwide and have helped open many doors for his sons. “As soon as you mention my dad’s name, you get to see the whole herd,” said Jeff. “We thought that was how it was supposed to work, but most people never get to leave the show barn when they go look at cattle out west.” It’s not only their families who they have benefitted from throughout the years. “The relationships we’ve made mean more than anything. We can’t thank people enough for all of their help and all that we have learned,” said Jeff. When asked where they see their operation going in the coming years both said they just plan to get better. “We believe in our stock more than anybody. It matters what the judge thinks, but we believe in them before they even hit the ring,” said Jeff. “Success breeds success. That’s what we are always trying to do here.” v

Connecting with Consumers The Beef Checkoff works on behalf of Ohio’s beef industry to connect with consumers and to provide them answers to their questions
S
omewhere between the “LOL”s and cat videos floating around on Facebook, in between the bizarre sports Hail Mary videos and the constantly-changing flow of the Twitter feed, Americans are gaining knowledge – of all kinds. And they’re going online to do so. Yet, when questions arise from consumers about beef production, beef nutrition, and beef preparation and cooking, Ohio beef producers want to be an important part of the answer. So where can Ohio consumers turn for recommendations on meat purchasing and what is recent research saying about consumers’ perceptions on the beef they are eating? Today, we’re going through the Big D, and I don’t mean Dallas. No, consumers are going “digital”. Long gone are the days where a newspaper is read over coffee before work and cookbooks are the only places to find recipes. The internet and
116 | Ohio Cattlemen’s Association | The Ring 2015
By Emily Jackson, Ohio Beef Council Director of Public Relations & Consumer Marketing, & Demi Snider, Summer Public Relations Intern
social media sites are winning consumers’ hearts as the new means of communication and information. Via the Google search bar, and social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, consumers are posting and searching sites religiously for content pertaining to cooking nutritiously. Recently, the beef checkoff has targeted the millennial generation, and more specifically the millennial mom (ranging in age between 20-35) as the beef industry’s primary target. The reasoning? The millennial mom is the primary grocery shopper and beef buyer in today’s marketplace. Millennials represent the largest segment of the population with the highest purchasing power. Checkoff funded campaigns drive millennial moms to explore new recipes and cooking methods on the well-known, BeefItsWhatsForDin-
ner.com. Statistically, 41 percent of millennials find new information, specifically recipes, on websites; while 19 percent of millennials search social media outlets to find new recipes. The National Beef Checkoff digital advertising campaign wrapped up its first full year of promotions and education earlier this summer and reported that it drove 3.6 million consumers to the “Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner.” website and garnered over 1.4 million views on informative YouTube videos about beef recipes, cooking tips, and beef production information. As a part of the digital campaign and YouTube educational video series, checkoff contractor the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) culinary development team created over 30 new recipes and meal solutions to increase awareness and confidence about cooking with beef. Target research has found that millennial families value quick, simple, and nutritious familyfriendly meal options. The beef videos, therefore, meet the consumer where they’re comfortable. Through market research, millennial parents have been shown to purchase ground beef more often than whole muscle cuts. In fact, in 2014, 64 percent of all beef sold was ground beef. With this information, checkoff dollars have been allotted to create a new “Ground Beef Section” on BeefItsWhatsForDinner.com to highlight versatility and the convenience of cooking with ground beef. This new section features quick-and-easy recipes for consumers, as well as content about properly freezing and thawing ground beef. Knowing that millennials thrive in the areas of creativity and spontaneity, a campaign titled “No Recipe Recipes” was released over a year ago. These simple 30 to 60 second interactive videos allow the chef to create their own recipe with their own ingredients of choice for a savory eating experience. The videos feature
a cut of beef, a way to cook the beef, and simple rules to remember when cooking beef, such as how to check the temperature of a steak, or to season steaks after they come off the grill with salt to help keep the flavors in the meat. The open-ended feel of not having specific measurements or ingredients to follow gives millennials the inspiration they need to cook confidently with beef. In Ohio, producer-to-consumer connections have been made through engagements such as blogs, videos, and social media outlets showcasing the beef industry in a positive light and helping answer current industry questions. On the Ohio Beef Council website, a new tab has been added titled “Meet a Beef Farmer.” The Meet a Beef Farmer section highlights producers all across the state, representing each stage of beef cattle production from cow/calf to packer. The goal of the farmer profiles is to help answer the consumer question, “Where does my food come from?”. The Ohio Beef Council (OBC) is now distributing a 12-page booklet to consumers that puts a friendly, but authoritative face on the Ohio beef industry. The fullcolor brochure features profiles of produc-
The Ring 2015| Ohio Cattlemen’s Association | 117
ers who represent each segment of the beef industry, including cow-calf, weaning, stocker, feeder, dairy, packers and retail. The booklet also provides easy recipes, fun facts about the industry, grilling steps, tips to determining steak doneness and links to resources on further information about the industry. The booklet is being distributed at fairs and other locations where OBC staff has opportunities to visit face-to-face with consumers. “The reaction to the publication has been outstanding,” said Bev Roe OBC Chairman. “We let consumers know ‘these are the farmers behind Ohio beef.’ We feel a great sense of pride being able to showcase Ohio’s beef farmers to the public. We are proud of them and want everyone to know.” The publication was produced by OBC with assistance from the NCBA federation design and communications team. In addition to the website and farmer booklet, OBC worked in partnership with the Herdmark Media group, producing videos that feature the Scott and Sasha Rittenhouse family of New Carlisle. The videos take a look into the daily care they provide their beef herd to produce a safe, wholesome, and nutritious product. The series of nine videos cover topics such as: meeting the family, what happens when a winter storm comes, what happens when a baby calf is born, and how do farmers provide a constant source of fresh feed and water to cattle. The videos have had
remarkable support and popularity since being released on YouTube and Facebook. Collectively between the two properties the nine videos garnered over 800,000 views and reached over a million consumers in the first two months. The objective of the videos is to connect with consumers through transparency about life on a cattle farm in the winter months. At the end of the day, producers can feel confident that checkoff-funded research and digital marketing approaches are leaving a lasting impact with consumers. Throughout the past year, consumers’ opinions about beef have been found to be more favorable than previous years. The majority, 78 percent, think that the positives outweigh the negatives; with approximately 82 percent being among the millennial generation. Thirty-five percent of consumers also serve beef at least three times, or more, a week. From the Baby Boomer generation, to the Generation X’ers, and now the Millennials, the way beef is advertised and promoted has changed significantly over the past two decades. Aunt Bea and Opie’s Sunday pot roast dinner inspiration on television just isn’t going to cut it anymore. Today, #TacoTuesday is more likely to motivate beef in the basket and on the plate. That’s why the beef checkoff is changing its sails to meet the tides of consumers’ needs. It’s time to #hashtag your next beef dinner. We promise the beef checkoff will be right there with you. v

Show and Sell How to make marketing your cattle as profitable as possible.

f you have picked up a copy of this publication, more than likely you have some degree of interest in showing cattle. The level of interest that an individual may have in showing cattle can range from treating it as a hobby to running it like a business. Regardless of your level of interest in the show ring, an individual or family can rack up a considerable amount of time and financial resources in breeding, selection, feeding, fitting, and showing cattle. While many have dreams of success in the show ring, have you considered how to achieve success outside of the show ring in the marketing arena? Regardless of your level of involvement in the show cattle business, there comes a point in the production cycle that marketing must be considered. Marketing is relatively simple if you are taking feeder calf or market animal projects. Your market is typically the annual sale at your local county fair. However, if you retain former show heifers to become brood cows or are involved in the production of show cattle, marketing

is going to be an important management consideration. First, you must establish the production goals for your herd. Obviously, you should breed the type of cattle you prefer and believe in. However, how marketable will those cattle be to potential clientele? What is your breeding philosophy? Do you want to produce balanced trait cattle for small-scale, commercial producers, high growth cattle for feeder calf and feedlot production, carcass quality cattle for cattle marketed on a grid or freezer beef, maternal cattle for replacement females, or phenotype cattle for the show cattle market? I would strongly encourage you to establish realistic production goals and stay focused on those goals. Speaking from experience, it is extremely hard to achieve production and marketing success if you are targeting potential clientele from the wide ranging segments of the industry listed in the previous paragraph. For example, it is extremely difficult to raise feeder calves that will develop into competitive show steers and

Feature maternal-oriented replacement females from the same pasture. If you want to target multiple potential buyers with a wide range of production interests, be cautious about creating a wide range of genotypes and phenotypes within your own herd. The smaller the herd size, the more difficult it is to manage these variations. I strongly recommend that you target a specific clientele and set about raising the best possible calf with your given resources for that targeted market. Of course, nearly all of us realize that this task is much easier said than done! Let’s fast forward ahead and assume that you are producing a high quality, marketable calf crop. How will you go about marketing the production from your herd? In Ohio, we are fortunate to have several weekly auction markets scattered around the state for marketing cattle. These markets do an excellent job of price discovery by establishing a base “market” value for all classes of cattle. These markets provide a viable sales outlet for your production. However, what can you do to create more value for your animals? The value that any animal sells for above what it would bring at a weekly auction market can be attributed to the actual merits of the animal and the ability of the owner to create the perception of added value of that animal with potential customers. Creating added value on any animal can be a challenging task. Many producers will enthusiastically utilize a wide variety of management practices to
create the best animal they possibly can. However, this same enthusiasm is not always applied to the area of marketing. Most producers I know are much more comfortable with the production side rather than the marketing side of beef cattle. Marketing is just as an important component of successful beef production as is breeding, health, and nutrition. However, if you do not adequately promote your product, you will likely be disappointed in the results of the sale. Effective marketing is not a simple process and requires a conscientious effort in order to achieve positive results. Fortunately, there are more tools than ever available to assist you in your marketing efforts. Traditional advertising is accomplished through some type of printed periodical. A properly designed advertisement placed in a printed publication distributed to broad circulation remains an important means to reach potential customers. Advertising in print media can be expensive but also has the potential for a large return for the investment. An eye-catching ad is important to stand out from your competition in any form of print media. Remember that your competition is trying to reach the same potential customers that you are target-

ing. You may want to consider hiring an outside or third-party marketing specialist or firm to assist with advertising design. Websites can be an efficient way to inform potential customers about your operation and animals for sale. Websites function all day, every day and are constantly evolving. They can be accessed from desktop or laptop computers, tablets, or smartphones. Much like print advertising, a good website should be eye-catching with easily accessible content. Again, you may want to solicit outside assistance with website design. Content should be updated regularly to keep customers coming back to your website. Social media can be a very valuable tool in your marketing efforts. The average person spends a significant amount of time every day on various social media platforms to obtain news and other information. Facebook is the most established social media outlet but others such as Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest are other outlets gaining popularity. Social media has the distinct advantage of allowing the user to post information relative to your operation immediately to stimulate interest in what you are marketing. Keep in mind that print media, websites, and social media pages should be cross-referenced with each other to increase traffic to each location and boost your marketing efforts. A good picture and video is a vital component of the marketing effort of any animal. If you are going to invest the
time and money to raise and market an animal, a positive visual representation of the animal can make the job of selling much easier. Think about your reaction to an unflattering or substandard photo of an animal. You certainly would have doubts as to the quality of that animal and a purchase may become unlikely. A short video featuring an animal standing and on the move can be an effective tool to solicit buyer interest. There are talented professional photographers to assist you if you are not comfortable with this process. I am concerned with a trend that appears in greater frequency in the area of photography today. It is my opinion that the pressure to create superior photographs has encouraged some individuals to take advantage of technology and create computer-assisted or “photoshopped� pictures. I believe that any computer-assisted alteration of the conformation of an animal in a photograph is unethical and should easily destroy any confidence that a potential buyer has in the seller. If the owner is willing to change the conformation of an animal in a picture, what other questionable management practices are being used? If there are questions about the authenticity of a picture, ask for a video on an animal or go see it in person. Much like other aspects of beef production and marketing, the method of sales used to merchandise cattle are varied and evolving. There are always the tried and true methods of private treaty and public auction. A hybrid form The Ring 2015| Ohio Cattlemen’s Association | 125

“Marketing is just as an important component of successful beef production as is breeding, health, and nutrition. However, if you do not adequately promote your product, you will likely be disappointed in the results of the sale.” of these two sales techniques is the “silent auction” or “bid off ” sales where bids are placed individually by potential buyers to the owner or a third party. This system can be utilized at a physical location or via a sale site on the internet and is frequently used in the sale of show cattle. Breeders with smaller herds and/or similar philosophies will often join forces to offer larger numbers of cattle for sale and potentially reducing sale expenses by using any of these sales techniques. The cattle business offers many opportunities to produce the type and quality of cattle you prefer. There are several methods to promote and market your
cattle. Take advantage of these opportunities to create as much value for your calf crop and hopefully make your beef enterprise profitable for the long haul. v

I placed the beef ribs I placed 4 over 1 due to clearly greater quality (Premium Choice versus Low Choice) and muscling resulting in a higher merchandizing value. 4’s quality was shown by a higher degree of marbling displayed in a brighter cherry red colored ribeye. Also, 4 exhibited a larger ribeye and a heavier muscled back. Finally, 4 revealed less seam fat in the blade face. I grant 1 was obviously trimmer as shown by clearly less fat opposite the ribeye, along the lower rib, over the back, and over the blade face. Due to clearly greater trimness, I placed 1 over 3. 1’s trimness was exhibited by clearly less fat opposite the ribeye, along the lower rib, over the back, and over the blade face. Additionally, 1 displayed a greater amount of marbling in the ribeye. I admit 3 had less seam fat in the blade face. I placed 3 over 2 due to clearly greater trimness and muscling resulting in a

higher percentage of boneless closely trimmed retail cuts. 1’s trimness was obviously shown by less fat opposite the ribeye, along the lower rib, over the back, and over the blade face. Furthermore, 3’s muscling was exhibited by a larger ribeye, a heavier muscled back coupled with a meatier blade face. I admit 2 displayed a larger eye in the blade face. I acknowledge 2 contained sufficient marbling to grade USDA Choice. However, 2 placed last as it combined trimness and muscling to the lowest degree. 2 was the fattest, wastiest beef rib as shown by the most excess fat oppositite the ribeye, along the lower rib, over the back, and over the blade face. In addition, 2 exhibited the smallest ribeye and lightest muscled back. Therefore, 2 would result in the lowest percentage of boneless closely trimmed retail cuts, thus placed last.
Meet the Team
With many young agriculturalists involved in livestock production through exhibiting livestock at a young age, meat judging compliments the big picture. Learning to evaluate and grade carcasses on quality (marbling, color, and texture) and leanness along with identifying muscle cuts that meet product specifications gives the student applicable training. Intercollegiate meat judging began over 80 years ago; with a growing number of universities participating in these competitions nationwide the competition continues to increase. In addition to
travelling the United States and making friends, meat judging is a prime tool for training for U.S. meat companies. Companies commonly seeking students with this experience would include, but not limited to: Cargill, Tyson, JBS Swift, etc. The Ohio State University not only offers a meat judging program in the department of Animal Science, but has recently included Meat Science as a major to their Animal Science curriculum.

Currently, Dr. Garcia is responsible for teaching undergraduate courses in meat science (introduction to meat science, advanced meat science, harvest and fabrication, processed meats, and meat carcass evaluation), advises undergraduate Animal Science students, and serves as faculty advisor for the Meat Science Club. “I am looking forward to the fututre of the Meat Science program at The Ohio State University.

Vita Hair Volumizer Foaming Shampoo
™
The first livestock shampoo to scientifically produce hair volume!
Vita Hair Volumizer™ Foaming Shampoo is formulated with a natural plant-based proprietary surfactant technology that creates an opposite acting polar electrical charge within each hair strand that actually pushes every hair follicle apart. This prevents the hair from sticking together, and actually springs it loose, making each hair follicle stand on end for a noticeable difference in hair volume and body. Fortified with Sullivan’s VITA HAIR™ a nourishing vitamin package to boost hair and skin health without added weight to hair. Designed to be used in a foamer.
A true “game changer” in hair performance!
