Embracing New Ways!

he holiday season is a full swing - one of my favorite times of the year. The spirit of the holidays and being with family and friends is a special time. I know for many, the Covid-19 issue may interfere with family functions. I really encourage you all to work at bringing everyone together in a safe way. Some family members may be unable to attend the special meals as young families get pulled between their in-laws. Those of us in the cattle world and in business activities have learned many new ways to bring folks together using virtual tools. Why not use a tool like Zoom to have all the family together for a period of time in our modern world, the last time I checked, Zoom is free for 45 minutes at a time and easy to implement. This can be a wonderful way to share time with friends and family during the holidays or for that matter anytime we think about the special people in our lives. There are a number of reasons why I am starting out this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association Outlook with this message. One is the effects of dealing with the Covid-19 virus thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been had and will continue to have on our lives. That does not mean it is all necessarily bad. Yes, many of us are tired of virtual meetings but the reality is we can take that technology and use it for fun and special moments. Also, I believe that people are not made to be kept separated from other people. It is an important part of our lives and our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives that there is interaction among our populations. Just look at the social activity when we get a group of Shorthorn breeders together. The anticipation of seeing and interacting with folks that have the same passion and love for the breed. We have learned we can do this through online sales even

though there is not a communication tool between the group like a virtual meeting. The cost of traveling, time and all the planning for both sides has become less and will continue as we move forward in a new norm. Some of you will not like this new norm just like the resistance to technologies like EPDs and such. I challenge you to accept these new ways and become positive about them. Use them for other activities that you may have not thought about in the past. Our world is moving fast we must to be open to the changes and advancements it may bring us. Taking advantage of these will bring more joy during this holiday season. Speaking of using new ways, you will notice we have redesigned the sponsorship and donation process for the Shorthorn Junior Activities. The Shorthorn Youth Development Fund has been activated as a 501 (c) (3). We did this to streamline the process of your donations for this important part of our breed. You should have received a letter with a stamped return envelope to make a pledge to the Junior Program or primarily to the Junior National. By setting up this new separate 501 (c) (3) account you can now use a credit card to make the pledge donations and/or have the pledge donation billed through the registry. We can also set it up to bill you monthly, if you would prefer to have a pledge done in smaller increments each month. This process was put in place to help you, the supporters of the Shorthorn Juniors! The Shorthorn Youth Development fund is not a replacement for or in competition with the Shorthorn Foundation. The Shorthorn Foundation still needs your support for all the good things they do for our breed. They will still award Junior Scholarships and support

shorthorn country = december 2020

junior activities and research projects as in the past. The Youth Development Fund has its own Board of Directors and an accounting process performed by a CPA firm. I just want to be clear that this new account is not in competition with the Shorthorn Foundation. They are two separate groups working for the advancement of the Shorthorn Breed. The Youth Development Fund is focusing directly on the advancement of our youth and the activities for the juniors in our breed. I encourage you to find the letter sent in October and return it with your pledge to support Shorthorn youth and National Junior Shorthorn Show and Youth Conference. Even if you happened to misplace the letter or did not receive one, you can still send a pledge to the ASA office making a check out to the Shorthorn Youth Development Fund. You will then become a member of the Red White and Roan Club. After all, it is the Holiday season and giving to your family - in this case your Shorthorn Family - is one of the best parts of this special time of the year. As we all prepare for 2021, many of us are glad to see 2020 leave with all the uncertainties and adjustments we have had in our lives. But, as I look back at 2020 and especially this past Fall, the market for Shorthorn cattle has been as strong as ever. This proves the value of our breed and good cattle will overcome most anything even in a pandemic and political unrest. The Shorthorn breed is ready and moving on to 2021; the beginning of our celeberation of 150 years as a breed organization. The American Shorthorn Association is the oldest beef breed association in the US! = Happy Holidays to Everyone from the ASA

Matt director of Woolfolk performance programs

Performance and Data in Your Marketing Plan If we have come to expect anything this year, it’s that schedules and plans are always subject to change. This was no different for the ASA Annual Meeting. We had a program planned for the usual 2-day format, but logistical issues forced us to condense to a single Saturday morning program, which forced us to cut some of the educational program (my speaking time slot included). Since that decision was made, the board made the call to postpone the Annual Meeting to a later date. When I was slated to speak on the original schedule at the original December 4 date, I was planning to discuss performance programs, data, and how it relates to marketing. Instead, I will try to bring some of my thoughts on the topic into this article. It’s hard to condense a 30 minute discussion into a few hundred words, but I will try my best. While they may not seem related, I believe performance, data collection, and marketing of seedstock go hand in hand. Collecting and using data is important to breeding more productive cattle, but it doesn’t matter how productive your performance program made your herd if you can’t convince a potential buyer to write you a check for them. Whatever you do in your operation for performance testing, it is important to be able to explain to a potential customer why you’re doing it. It sounds great that you’re collecting all this information on your cattle; if you can’t explain to that buyer the “why” behind it all, they may wonder if you’re just putting on a show to make a sale. It’s important that a customer knows that you collect weights, carcass ultrasound, or genomic information for a reason: to track genetic progress and make more informed breeding decisions towards a better product. Collecting performance data can benefit your cattle marketing by identifying your top performers and giving the customer an idea of what 10

animals might best fit their needs. Say that a commercial cattleman wants to look through your yearling bulls. You learn that he retains all his feeder calves and sells them on a quality-based grid, so carcass traits are obviously important to his selection process. If you don’t have carcass ultrasound data on those bulls, it might be a hard sale to make to this customer. Yes, EPDs would be available on carcass traits, albeit at very low accuracies. Adding carcass ultrasound data would improve the accuracies of those predictions, and genomic testing would do so even more! With all the uncertainties that come with raising cattle, we all need our genetics to be as predictable as possible to mitigate that risk and keep calf crops consistent (and consistently high-quality)! Data collection and having a plan in place for documenting animal performance on your farm is important for genetic improvement, but also for your reputation and commitment as a breeder to raising better cattle. If the same bull buyer from the previous paragraph values carcass quality in his genetics but you never collected any carcass or ultrasound data, they may get the impression that end product quality is not a focus in your herd. If that’s the case, that buyer may go look elsewhere to fill their bull needs. If that isn’t your focus and they choose to look elsewhere, that’s ok! There are likely other customers who value the direction of your herd and your program. If you’re not trying to make progress in this business, you’re going backwards and not just sitting still. I guarantee someone is doing everything they can to breed better bulls and can pass you by. Data has to be a part of the marketing effort of the entire breed to the cattle industry. A slogan like “Performance with Purpose” has to be backed up with information on what Shorthorn cattle can do in a commercial setting. The National Sire Test program has been a good source

shorthorn country = december 2020

of this type of data for our breed. Seeing that Shorthorn-sired calves can grade at over 90% Choice should open some eyes to the genetic capabilities of our cattle. Additionally, the heifer development feed efficiency project with Iowa State and the Genomically Enhanced Female Project help us to gather more information on emerging technologies in the genetic improvement sector of our industry. We try to develop opportunities to collect more data on our beloved Shorthorns, but it ultimately takes breeder buy-in for any of these programs to reach their potential. At ASA, we own and breed zero cows every year. It takes teamwork between us and those with the cows (you!) to make these projects work and gather more information to showcase Shorthorns to the American cattle industry. It’s difficult to breed cattle for the commercial industry without documentation behind them to make genetic progress, and it’s equally difficult to market any seedstock without a plan and a program. Let your performance data and your marketing plans work together to move your operation forward as far as it can go. One last thing to ponder: I have been asked before what is the best available tool for herd improvement. While weights, measures, ultrasound and genomics are all very beneficial, one could argue that the tools that can move a herd forward the quickest are a cull pen and a sharp knife at weaning! It’s hard to improve productivity of the herd as a whole by keeping unproductive cows, and only the best male calves deserve to be herd sire candidates. I want to wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you. May you remember the reason for the Christmas season, as well as take a moment to find something positive away from the year that was 2020. And, no, “2020 is over” doesn’t count as the positive! =

What YouNeed to Know

Emily director of events, show Velisek & membership activities

Cattlemen’s Congress Update Before we know it, January will be here and we will be heading to Oklahoma City for the Cattlemen’s Congress. ASA made the decision to replace the NWSS National Shorthorn Show with the Cattlemen’s Congress when NWSS decided to cancel. By the time you read this, the entry deadline of November 20th will have passed but if you are still wanting to go and missed that deadline, there is a late deadline of December 10th. All junior breeding cattle need to be in the junior’s name by December 1st to meet the ownership deadline. I ask that everyone please read through the premium book that is online at cattlemenscongress.com, as this show will be slightly different than NWSS. Shorthorn Pen Exhibitors: We will be checking in pen cattle on Friday, January 8th starting at 9 a.m. We will be weighing and ultra-sounding as normal. Once location of check-in is determined, we will let you know. Pen cattle will be shown on Sunday, January 10th starting

at 8 a.m. Pen arrival will be determined closer to show date, but it does look like they have lined up the Oklahoma Stockyards for pen cattle to arrive early. Once we know more information on move in, we will get it out to the exhibitors as well. What we would normally call “Hill Exhibitors” will be able to begin arrival on Friday, January 8th and must be in place by Saturday, January 9th at 8 a.m. We will be doing check-in on Saturday the 9th somewhere close to the Shorthorn stalls. Once exact time and location is determined we will let exhibitors know. Shows will be on Monday, January 11th starting at 1 p.m. Show order will be Junior Purebred, followed by Junior ShorthornPlus, followed by the National ShorthornPlus Show. Depending on final numbers, we will decide whether bulls or females will show first. Then on Tuesday, January 12th at 8 a.m. we will begin our National Shorthorn Show with bulls

Udder Scoring: Another Review Udder scores in beef cattle are based on two characteristics: udder suspension and teat size. An udder score includes a 1-9 rating for both the suspension and the teat size. You need to record a score for both traits (scores are two-digit numbers). Udder scores are easy to collect. Ideally, scoring should be done within 24 hours of calving. The score should be based off the WORST quarter of the udder, and the same person should be scoring all udders to ensure consistent scoring. It’s important to be honest with yourself when udder scoring your cow herd. The accompanying diagram illustrates what to look for at various levels of scoring. One of the most common mistakes I see in the breed are udder scores entered

into the system on an inverted scoring scale. There are a lot of “11” scored udders reported, and as the diagram show, a 11 score should almost certainly be a cullable udder that would be tough for a calf to nurse. When registering calves in Digital Beef, there are drop-down menus for “Susp” and “Teat” on the left side of the row in the Dam section. These are where you enter your udder scores on a cow when she calves. You can use the pictorial diagram for reference, or you can consult the “Page Guide” in Digital Beef. It is located in the upper right corner of the screen, and has detailed explanations for what most of the information on the calf recording screen is asking for, including udder scoring. =

Market Your Program with the ASA Each year at Annual Meeting, the American Shorthorn Association staff host breakout sessions to educate membership on different topics of interest. During my session, I discuss marketing options available to membership through the ASA. This year, with all the unknowns of COVID-19, we decided we wouldn’t have the normal breakout sessions for membership. Since many of our members have not been to the Annual Meeting in the past, you may not know what marketing options we have available through the ASA. The ASA offers banner advertising on shorthorn.org. You can purchase a banner for $2,000 for a full year, $800 for six months, $450 for 3 months or $200 for one month. This banner advertisement will link to your website or Facebook page. This can be sent camera-ready or designed by us with your specifications. The Shorthorn Insider is the official e-newsletter of the ASA. It is sent every other Tuesday to nearly 7,000 Shorthorn enthusiasts. The Insider keeps readers up to date with changes and important information from the ASA. Members can purchase banners ads in their choice of Insider issues. We offer three banner ad spaces in each issue – they are sold on a first come, first serve basis. You can send a camera-ready ad or you can provide details for us to design. • Ad spaces are $50 for each issue

• Payment for the ad must be received before e-newsletter send date • Ad size: 421 x 115 pixels • Ad format: JPG or PDF • Contact shelby@shorthorn.org to reserve your space. • Ad spaces must be reserved one week ahead of send date. • If ASA is designing your ad, you must contact Shelby at least two weeks before send date. State associations have the opportunity to participate in the Shorthorn Co-op Advertising program. This is designed to help ASA and state associations share the cost of promoting the Shorthorn breed. Advertisement requests must be made by the state association’s president, vice-president or secretary manager. Advertisements cannot be requested by groups of breeders or individuals. The ASA will reimburse 50% of the ad cost, up to a total of $650 per state per fiscal year. There are limited co-op funds available for states in each fiscal year. Once the funds have been utilized for the year, no more co-op ads will be funded until the next fiscal year. Each state association must pay for the advertisement in full and send paid invoice plus a copy of ad placed to ASA to be reimbursed. Contact shelby@shorthorn.org with ad size, ad deadline, publication, color, and state association information to be included.

You must submit request at least a week before ad deadline. The American Shorthorn Association and the American Junior Shorthorn Association offers you the chance to be a sponsor. Our sponsorships opportunities go beyond just the National Junior Shorthorn Show and Youth Conference to provide a way for sponsors to be seen everywhere that the ASA and AJSA are present. From the Annual Meeting and Educational Forum, to the NJSS and National Shows, we want to use your logo and give you recognition for your support. This provides a unique opportunity for you to market your program while also supporting the future of the breed. As a sponsor, you will be contributing to the newly established Shorthorn Youth Development Fund. The fund was established in 2020 to provide financial support to develop Shorthorn youth as cattle producers and responsible, productive citizens. The fund is dedicated to enriching the lives of youth interested in agriculture, through support for the educational and leadership activities of the American Junior Shorthorn Association. There are so many opportunities for members to market their program and Shorthorn cattle; take advantage of these options listed above. Contact the office if you have any questions or want to get started! =

Changes to Birth Weight Ratio Reporting Starting with birth weight data entered after October 20th, the reporting of birth weight ratios in Digital Beef will look a little different than what you might have grown accustomed to. At their September meeting, the Board of Directors voted to change the method of reporting birth weight ratios to mirror how a majority of breed associations are currently reporting

them. While the changes will take some getting used to, I will try to simplify it here to help with the transition. For most of our traits (Weaning & Yearling Weight, Ribeye Area, IMF score), a higher measurement is reflected by a higher performance ratio in the system. Birth weight was the exception to this, with LIGHTER calves having the higher

New Birth Weight Ratio Reporting

performance ratios. With the change, birth weight ratios will now be reported in the same manner as our other traits. Now, HEAVIER birth weight calves will have the higher performance ratios. Below is a visual example to help with the learning curve. Please feel free to reach out if you have further questions. =

American Royal

Kansas City

2020

American Royal Show Honoree Charlie and Judy Obrecht - O-Dale Farms Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for Shorthorn cattle began in the 1950s with the purchase of two Shorthorn heifers from George Struve and sons Shorthorns in Manning, Iowa. From there, the family has shown the following Shorthorn champions: Champion Steer at the International Livestock Show in Chicago, Champion Steer in Kansas City, Reserve Grand Champion Steer at the San Antonio Livestock Show, Champion Heifer at the American Royal, Champion Steer at Denver, Reserve Champion Heifer at the Nebraska State Fair, two Reserve Grand Champion Heifers at the Iowa State Fair, and two Reserve Grand Champion Bulls at the Iowa State Fair. Charlie served on the Iowa Shorthorn Board of Directors and as the president for two years. He received the Shorthorn award heifer from the Iowa Shorthorn Association and Don Penningroth in 1956. He helped start the Iowa Beef Expo as a member of the Iowa Cattlemens Association Board of Directors. He has been honored twice by the Iowa Shorthorn Board of Directors as the Honorary Breeder at the Beef Expo. Charlie was selected as the Friend of the Iowa Beef Expo in 2010. This would have been the 68th year for Charlie showing Shorthorns at the Iowa State Fair. Charlie was Shelby County Cattlemen President for two years, and served on the Iowa Cattlemens Board of Directors for six years. He has also been a 4-H leader. Today the herd consists of 40 cows owned by Charlie, his two sons Don and Chuck, and the grandchildren. They currently farm about 750 acres of row corp. In the past, he has fed out Shorthorn cattle in the feedlot. For 70 years, he has enjoyed raising and exhibiting Shorthorn cattle throughout the country. Charlie and Judy were unable to attend the American Royal for the award presentation, so his family accepted it on his behalf. Congratulations to O-Dale Farms, Charlie and Judy Obrecht, for being the 2020 American Royal Shorthorn Show Honoree! =

Closing a Roller Coaster of a Year Wow! It is hard to believe that 2020 is already ending. What a year it has been! If you’re reading this, you have survived a whirlwind of a year, and show season as well. It is definitely special that our breed was able to gather in Abilene with such “normal” circumstances. Granted things are going to be different in the future, but the one thing that will remain the same is the agricultural sector and the beef industry. These industries have the drive to push through these unprecedented times. They turn the negative into positive and come together like family to make things happen. As I write this, people are prepping for NAILE, an event where people pulled together to make it happen. Or you might be preparing to go to the

replacement of National Western Stock Show in Oklahoma City. Whichever it may be, people cared and worked hard to make it happen, and it is important to enjoy every opportunity you get to step into the ring! I can assure you lots of people on either side of the gate have worked hard to get the show to happen or get you there. Always remember to say thank you, and as 2020 showed us, enjoy the moments! I hope everyone has a great holiday season and a Merry Christmas! Thank you to each and every one of you who supports the Shorthorn breed and the Shorthorn youth. I look forward to seeing you down the road! Stay Safe! =

Words of Advice

Enjoy every moment you step in the ring, enjoy the celebration and the defeat. Before you know it, you will be aging out. Your show heifers will be old cows. Being able to look back on the friendships, family moments and highlights of your career is something that will stay with you forever!

Investing in the Future The Shorthorn Youth Development Fund (SYDF) was established in 2020 to provide financial support that will sustain and expand excellent programming to develop Shorthorn youth as cattle producers and responsible, productive citizens. Since we started our new fundraising program many breeders have donated lots in their sales to become part of the Shorthorn Royal Society. On October 3 during the ‘Where Great Females Make a Difference’ sale, Greenhorn Cattle Co., Turner Family Shorthorns and Double C Farm sold 3 sexed embryos - SULL Red Knight 2030 ET x GCC Turners Margie 542 E ET for $2,400 and donated 100% of the proceeds to the SYDF. The embryos were purchased by Rick Leone of Colorado. Jester Farms hosted an online sale on October 6 and donated 100% of five units of semen on SFF Booster. The semen was purchased for a total of $75

by Kyle Buckley. On October 10, Schrag 605 of South Dakota hosted their annual ‘Family Event’ sale and donated 100% of four sexed heifer embryos to the SYDF. The Little Cedar Aviator 503X and CYT Missing Mirage 2120 ET embyros sold for a total of $3,200 to Cornerstone Farms of Indiana. During the Heart of the Prairie Sale, sale on October 17, Crow Creek Farms of Oklahoma donated 100% of a semen package of champions. They sold ten units of each bull; TJH Bo’s Maxim H7, Lucas CCF Route 66 and AF Double Wide semen. The package sold for $950 to Dale Heisler and Don Ferguson of Oklahoma. During their sale on October 18, Narrow Brook Farms of Michigan donated three units of NBS Low Rider 42W ET. The 100% donation sold for a total of $775 to Francisco Family Shorthorns of Michigan.

On October 18, Aegerter Cattle Company, Nebraska, made a donation in the Lasting Impressions sale. They donated four conventional embryos, the donor dam was AA Lady Cornerstone 1L. The sire of two embryos was JSF Broker 157Z and the other two were sired by JSF Wall Street 106C. The donation lot was purchased for $2,100 by Brian Nethers of Ohio. Alden Farms, Missouri, donated 100 % of four sexed heifer embryos in their sale on October 24. The SULL Current Commodity x AF Playful Cait 902 embryos sold for a total of $4,000 to Don Ferguson of Oklahoma. Thank you to all the October donors and buyers for your support of the SYDF.

Ernie came into the world August 3, 1933 in Central Butte Saskatchewan, much to the delight of parents Henry & Katarina Esau and his four older sisters (Kay1926, Lydia1929, Hilda1930, Elsie1931). The sisters finally had a little brother since Henry & Katarina’s first child John had died as an infant in Russia1925. If Ernie’s older sisters and youngest sister Paulette had known how much teasing & trouble that he and brothers Henry1935 & Alvin1936 would bring with them, it would have tempered their enthusiasm. Trying to earn a living on a farm in Saskatchewan during the Great Depression was extremely challenging with a lot of hard work and often not much to show for it. What little did grow from the dust was usually devoured by clouds of grasshoppers long before it was ready for harvest. While Dad claimed to be “educated in Central Butte School” the reality was that he didn’t spend a lot of time in it. As the oldest boy in the family he was often needed at home and spent more time doing farm work than he ever did on schoolwork. He would often talk about the horsepower it took to work the fields (literal horses—5 horses to pull a plough, 6 horses for harrowing). Dad was responsible for looking after the various animals they owned—pigs, cows, horses, cats and dogs. His love for animals grew with age and while in later years it was clear that Dad was primarily in the cattle business, we kids knew that he was also part “zoo keeper” and over the years brought home a wide assortment of animals, from donkeys and four horned sheep to peacocks, pheasants, guinea hens, Canada geese, and a pet racoon we named Ralph.

During the war years and the depression in Saskatchewan, Dad remembered the rationing. A coupon was needed to purchase sugar, the government dictated the size of tractor you could own, and the generous people of Nova Scotia sent their beloved codfish, which dad remembered most because he thought it tasted “disgusting”. In 1943 the Esau family moved from Central Butte to the Manitoba town of Elm Creek. All nine members of the Esau family squeezed into their 1929 Nash car, while their animals and furniture made the trek by train in a boxcar. They settled onto a farm only ½ mile west of the cemetery where he will be buried with his beloved wife of 58 years, Irma who predeceased him Dec. 10, 2013. Dad went to school in Elm Creek but as the oldest boy in the family he quit in grade 10 to help his dad on the farm fulltime. Since Ernie always preferred farm work to schoolwork it was a transition he seemed happy to make. 1952 was an eventful year for Ernie in many ways. That was the year he bought his first two Shorthorn heifers, marking the start of what eventually became a lifelong career in the cattle business. Four years later, he and Irma would official register the name Ernmore FarmsMay 4,1956 and in June last year2019 his lifelong contributions and achievements in the cattle business were officially recognized with his induction into the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame. 1952 was also spiritually significant for it was the year Ernie was baptized as a follower of Jesus and joined the Elm Creek Mennonite Brethren Church. Ernie and Irma were married in that same church three years later.May28,1955 They served faithfully in that church for many years until they retired and moved to Carman. The Friends Community Church in Carman welcomed them with open arms. While Dad bought his first two cattle in 1952, he had to find work to support himself. His first paying job was digging trenches by hand for the Manitoba Telephone System—he lasted one day

shorthorn country = december 2020

and then quit since, as he put it, “My life was too valuable for that.” He preferred farm work and after working that fall for Scotty Sisson and John Lepp he went on a six week trip to B.C. with his friends Cornie Froese and Art Klassen. Upon his return, he worked for a year at the Brandon Mental Institution (1953-1954) and a year at the Mental Hospital in Selkirk (19541955). It was while working in Selkirk that he won a sweepstake worth $595. That was a lot of money back in 1955, enough for the newlyweds to go on a honeymoon to Clear Lake and buy what they needed for their home. By the time the kids started coming along Ernie & Irma had moved to what the locals called “the old Bob Christie place”. It became the home where they raised their kids Judy1956, Liz1957, Jim1959, Sandi1962, Marilyn1963, and David1966. For the first 10 years the only running water that they had, as Dad recalled, “was when Irma carried it in from the cistern.” In 1966 Ernie & Irma bought a house in Sperling, MB which they had moved onto the farm. Complete with real running water and a flush toilet, they felt they “were really king and queen of the castle.” They eventually built their dream home and new farmstead four miles west of Elm Creek where they lived and farmed for 30 years before retiring to Carman in 2012.April For much of his life Dad was an active leader. Locally, his leadership roles included that of Sunday School Superintendent at church, a long-time leader in the 4-H Club as well as serving on the boards overseeing the local Co-Op, Credit Union, Boyne Lodge and Cemetery as well as serving a term on the Municipal Council. He also accepted the call to serve on provincial and national boards for the Shorthorn, Charolais, and Maine Anjou Associations. In 1959 Dad started taking the best of his cattle to the summer fairs as a way of advertising them and meeting others in the cattle business. It became the place he met his lifelong friend Einard Sigurdson and mentors like Sid Coulthard and Dr. Martin Nolds. Dad always said the most

satisfying part of the cattle business was the wonderful people he met along the road. Preparing for the show circuit each year meant every spring we were busy halter breaking cattle and every summer we were washing and grooming them to look their best for show time. It was a lot of extra work but over the years the prize money helped pay the bills and the national championships helped promote the business in Canada and the United States. When people at the fairs would ask Dad who his partners in the business were his answer was always the same, “My wife and kids are…I could never do it without them.” In later years he was often heard to say, “I’ve got a good family don’t you think?” By the way the only correct response to that question was, “YES”. Whenever Dad got away from the farm it was usually in order to go fishing with his good friend Harry Trumbla or hunting for some prize game to fill the freezer and mount on the wall at home. The antlers were especially handy for hanging hats. Dad’s prized hunting skills also meant he was often called on to help with local pest control—be it eradicating skunks from a chicken coop or beavers who’d been conducting unauthorized loging on the local golf course. Even when they retired

to Carmen, Dad was sure to keep his pest control skills well honed. Some of our favorite outings as kids were going fishing with Dad at Dauphin River and Grand Rapids. In later years he took many of the grandkids out to the Red River to catch giant catfish and to Stephenfield Lake to try their hand at ice fishing in his winter hut. After retirement Dad shifted from hunting birds to carving lifelike models of them out of wood. Of course, he was also know to still carve up the occasional wild turkey to eat when it wandered into the live trap he had set up in his backyard! While Mom and Dad eventually retired on the farm, it was Dad’s Parkinson diagnosis that God used to move them off it and into a lovely condo along the river in Carmen. It was in their Condo community on Bradford Road that they met old friends and made new ones. As hard as it was for Dad to transition off the farm, the hardest transition by far came with the sudden passing of his beloved wife Irma on December 10, 2013. Dad faced that loss the way he had met the rest of life’s challenges, with his faith, family, and friends. People that Mom & Dad had reached out to during their times of loss reached out to Dad with care and

compassion during his. With his declining health in the last years, Dad went from visiting others in the Boyne Lodge to being the one visited. As was so often the case, Dad made friends wherever he went, including at his new home in the Boyne Lodge. The staff commented on, and appreciated, his good manners, his sense of humor and the thankfulness he expressed to them for the care they provided. We would like to thank the doctors and staff at the Carmen Memorial Hospital and the Boyne Lodge for their compassionate and dedicated care for our father in what was a particularly challenging final leg in his earthly life. The apostle Paul wrote about times like this, times when “we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling”. That was evident in dad’s final weeks, and while we miss his presence we do not grieve as those “who have no hope” for like Dad “We believe that Jesus died and rose again and…that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him….And so we will be with the Lord forever.” (1 Thess. 4:14,17) Good-bye Dad, until we meet again! =

Robert E. (Bob) House, 91, of Cambridge City, Ind., passed away Oct. 24, 2020. He was born to Leonard and Flossie House Jan. 2, 1929 in Preble Co., Ohio, and was involved with Shorthorn cattle his entire life. He learned about livestock from his dad, and following his graduation from high school, attended the Graham School in KS in the late ‘40s before taking a job as herdsman at Tulleevin Shorthorns in

Lebanon, OH. Tulleevin achieved great success during Bob’s tenure, earning coveted honors at the famous Chicago International and many other shows during the late ‘50s and early ‘60s. Bob was a skilled and knowledgeable cattleman who loved Shorthorn cattle and the people he met through years of involvement with the Shorthorn breed. Bob started his own Shorthorn herd at Wonder View Farm in Wayne County, Ind., in the mid 1960’s and raised Shorthorn cattle for the next 4 decades. The Shorthorns were a family affair with Bob, Ula Marie, and children Maralee, Brian and Nolan participating in the Indiana Shorthorn Association, Indiana

Shorthorn Lassies and the Indiana Junior Shorthorn Association. Bob was not concerned about recognition and was content knowing he was helping others. Bob served as secretary of the Indiana Shorthorn Assn for years and was proud of his contributions to his friends in the Shorthorn breed. He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Ula Marie (Ammerman) House; 3 children, Maralee (Mike) Edmondson, Brian (Patty) House and Nolan (Tami) House; 4 grandchildren, 5 greatgrandchildren, nieces and nephews and many friends. =

Robert ‘Bob’ Meldrum Sadly, Bob passed away on October 12, 2020 at the age of 82. Bob’s partner Dale and his children Samantha and Gregory Meldrum who came in from Vancouver, were at his side. Many in the Duntroon, Glen Huron, Singhampton, Stayner community will remember Bob’s love of life through his one of a kind gruff, humorous, say it like it is style. Bob was born in Toronto and lived there until the 1990’s when he and Dale decided to leave the city behind and make his beloved Hill Haven Farm

in Duntroon their permanent home. Country life transformed him and his love of his Shorthorn cattle, fixing fences, zipping around the fields in his RTV and especially hobnobbing with his neighbors and local merchants – those were his true joys. Bob will be lovingly remembered by his Hill Haven ‘family’ – Matt, Matt, Sami and Sam. His fellow Shorthorn breeders across Canada will fondly remember his cigar chomping, larger than life presence at all big cattle shows and sales. In just a couple of decades he and Dale developed a prominent purebred shorthorn herd known all over North America and Bob’s name will be synonymous with Hill Haven’s legacy cow Breathless and bull FireStorm. His

pride in his Shorthorns and his farm was felt by everyone. Prior to country life, Bob owned and operated Meldrum Meat Packers in Toronto and enjoyed skiing and sailing. In the winter he spent every weekend at Blue Mountain and every free waking moment in the summer was spent racing his sailboat on Lake Ontario out of the National Yacht Club. There are too many special friends to mention but they know who they are. There is no funeral or memorial service, however at some time in the future at his request there will be “one hell of a good wake” at the farm. =
