2023 ASA Annual Membership

WHR Breeders

WHR Assessments for 2023 were sent in November. If you have not received yours, please contact the ASA office as soon as possible.

1. WHR inventory assessments must be completed and paid in full prior to registering calves born in the current assessment period, (i.e. 2023 assessment on a dam must be completed and paid in order to register her calf born in 2023.)

2. Included with each assessment is the registration of a calf born to the dam in the year she was assessed (if calf is registered prior to one year of age) and a free transfer of said calf (if recorded within 60 days from the date of the sale.) (i.e. cost to register a calf born in 2023 to an assessed 2023 dam will be $0, if calf is registered within 12 months)

2023 ASSESSMENT FEE SCHEDULE: November 1, 2022 - January 9, 2023 $18 January 10, 2023 - February 28, 2023 $24 March 1, 2023 and after $30

*Calves born in previous year(s) to unassessed dams will incur additional fees.

New Rule - Jan. 1, 2022

The Board of Directors unanimously approved a new rule, which begins January 1, 2022: “All bulls (Shorthorn & ShorthornPlus) born January 1, 2022 and after will be required to have a genomic profile and parentage markers on file in order to register any progeny with the American Shorthorn Association”.

This means that regardless of service type, all bulls (Shorthorn & ShorthornPlus) used for breeding need to be genomically tested (currently, this is the 100K test but could be subject to change according to Neogen standards in the future). This pertains to AI sires as well as pasture sires/clean up bulls. The rule only affects bulls born after Jan 1, 2022, so this rule won’t really come into play until their progeny are born, late 2023 or 2024. Please be aware that AI sires still require the 3 genetic conditions as well – TH, PHA, and DS.

New DNA Card Fees

Our approved lab for DNA, Neogen, has increased the cost of blood and hair cards to the ASA and as a result, it is necessary to start charging for them to cover this increase, plus the postage it takes to send them.

Blood cards are now $1/card and hair cards are $2/card. Methods for obtaining them have not changed. Please call the office or fill out the card request on shorthorn.org to order. The lab’s preferred methods are TSU samples and blood cards. TSU kits can be purchased directly through Neogen or Allflex.

*Remember, there is an additional fee for testing hair and semen.

**DO NOT test twins via blood samples.

Association Outlook

The Hustle and Bustle

We are in the midst of the holiday season with the yearend fast approaching. This is a busy time of the year for everyone. The hustle and bustle of getting ready for Christmas and the new year right after celebrating Thanksgiving can be stressful. The year-end always brings additional chores for everyone, reviewing activities of this year while planning for the next, and I also want to bring WHR Assessments to your attention. The savings are substantial if you have them done by Jan. 9, 2023. You can pay them in the 2022 tax year or push them to the next year. Either way, remember to complete and pay them before Jan. 9 to get the discounted fee. Also, please review the ASA fee changes that are effective Jan. 1, 2023. Some changes should be going into effect at that time regarding DNA submission. We hope to have in place a more streamlined way of submitting DNA near or shortly after the first of the year. Keep checking the Shorthorn Country or the ASA Insider for updates. These changes should help the process of submitting DNA go smoother.

The year 2022 has been a year of many changes for everyone when it comes to the economic situation around the world, with inflation at an all-time high and rising interest rates, the pain or concerns has affected everyone, including the ASA. For several years, the costs at ASA have continually gone up. Just like the process and costs of doing business and buying personal items and groceries have affected your households. The fee increases that ASA has put into place on Jan. 1 are less than $5 per item; the goal was not to make a major impact on our members, but rather to continue to provide the services you need. This was necessary to enact now rather than wait and have to play catch up at a later date. We hope, like all of you, that the drastic change of increased costs across the country start to

slow down so we can all plan for it and deal with it. The issue for ASA is the same as it is for you. Things are moving at such a fast pace that it is almost impossible to plan for what will happen.

But, if we look at the value of the registered Shorthorn this past year and their increased value, these cattle can help us overcome some of these inflated costs. The sales have been extra strong this year. We see increases daily in new memberships for seniors and juniors at the ASA. The surge of new members in our breed is a real positive activity. This will help the long-term sustainability of the breed and the association. In many ways, membership is more important than the number of registrations. The breed is made up of people with the desire and passion for being a Shorthorn breeder. They make the breed and the association what it is. We have been fortunate to see increased sales of commercial-type bulls and purebred females, both bred and open females. The demand is at an all-time high for our good Shorthorn cattle and they are worth more every day. I strongly recommend you evaluate your inventories, select the better animals with acceptable documentation and discard the lower end. You will be rewarded, especially when you look at the cost of maintaining a cow unit compared to the past. Cleaning this up will help your bottom line and help the breed with more good animals to offer the industry. It is times like these that make us more efficient and in turn we do a better job. That will set the stage for our success tomorrow.

Act as if what you do makes a difference - Because it Does!

The ASA Board of Directors went through an extensive Strategic Planning Session with staff in June. The purpose of this, under the direction of Dr. Tom Field, was to look at what measures the ASA should take in the future to ensure

the sustainability of the association and the breed for the next 3, 5 or 10-plus years. There was a detailed report of this at the ASA Annual Meeting in November. Many of the initiatives that have been approved by the Board are already in place, while several other initiatives will be occurring in 2023 and 2024.

A lot is happening in the breed, with National Shows in January at Oklahoma City, Denver, and Fort Worth. Over the past couple of years, the month of January has become one of the busiest, with the Summit Sale and several shows taking place now. The breed seems to be gaining steam at this point as we wind down the year and start to focus on next year. It is time to put the pedal to the metal and go forward with a full head of steam. We must continue to do the right things and improve our product to increase or at least maintain that new attention Shorthorns are getting in the industry!

I personally want to extend to our Shorthorn Family best wishes during the Holiday Season. Through all the hustle and bustle, please take time to share special moments with loved ones. This has always been a special time of year for me, and I always enjoy seeing those little faces glow on Christmas morning or at special events for family and friends. So please, take time to partake in the holiday activities in your communities and enjoy your fellow friends and family. This includes your Shorthorn Family. We are a special group of dedicated individuals with passion and compassion for our cattle and each other. The holiday is a great time to share with old and new friends just how great it is to be a Shorthorn Breeder and Family Member!!!

Wishing you and your families a Bright & Happy Holiday Season & a Prosperous New Year!

Sincerely, Your ASA Family

Beef Business

As we reach year’s end, there will be no lesson on genomics, performance data, or the philosophy of raising cows as I see. I just want to take a moment to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as we head into 2023. Enjoy the moments with your family and friends, as they are so precious. I’ve learned the importance of this even more this year with the addition of Lane to our little family, but also through the loss of friends that aren’t with us this holiday season. It won’t ever be the same until we are all together again one day. Miss you, Crusty.

As I step up on my soap box, I challenge anyone who reads this with a simple task: don’t forget why we do this. I’m known for being vocal on both sides of my family that the Christmas season has become a spectacle way more

focused on parties and presents than on the gift that was the birth of Jesus Christ. I’ve discussed with friends before that I don’t believe Jesus would enjoy what the modern world has made Christmas. Many have told me that my feelings will change when I experience a child’s joy on Christmas morning from a parent’s eyes, but Lane isn’t quite to that stage yet. Rather than the feelings of joy and excitement, December can be full of anxiety and exhaustion. I don’t believe that’s what the Good Lord had in mind 2,000+ years ago.

As Shorthorn breeders, don’t forget why we do this, either. All your “whys” will be a little different, but you all have a reason for being a part of this breed. The overarching reason any of us are involved in this business is that we want to help feed the world with healthy, great

tasting beef. Whether you’re doing that through selling bulls and females or providing a young person with a show project that ignites their passion for agriculture, keep focused on what got you into Shorthorns, and why what you are doing absolutely matters to feeding the world. Current conditions make it hard to remember why we got into this sometimes, but deep down, we all have a love for this industry.

With all that said, we certainly wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Looking forward to a prosperous 2023 for the Shorthorn breed.

Matt Woolfolk director of performance programs

2023 is bringing big changes for the ASA, there is no doubt about that! Hopefully the newest change I am about to go over will bring excitement, as it is one that has been requested for years, and now it’s finally going to be a reality.

Starting in January 2023, breeders can send DNA samples for testing directly to the lab, rather than the office.

Three pieces of information will become mandatory in order for this to work, and those are: 1) A registration (or recorded ‘U’) number for each animal, 2) A barcode for each sample, and 3) The DNA submission form must be present with the samples.

Without going into too much detail, International IDs are the basis for many comparisons, and the bulk of an International ID contains an animal’s

registration number. That said, we are predicting that this change will shave days, if not weeks, off your results turnaround time.

The process for getting the DNA submission form completed will not change very much. You will still queue up your animals for testing in your Digital Beef account. From here, once you have all your animals selected that you want tested, as well as which tests you want, you will submit that data to the office, and once we process that data, you will be sent an email with your ready-to-send form, which you will print and stick in with the samples and send it all together to Neogen!

You can still purchase blood and hair cards from the Association’s website. There will be a grace period through

March so we can get the hang of this new process. Until then, you can still send samples to the office if you feel the need. Just know that come April, additional fees are going to be incurred for samples sent to the office, as well as if samples are sent to the lab without appropriate paperwork, etc.

We have all new literature on shorthorn. org which covers sample collecting and handling. DNA testing is on an uprise, and we are striving to be as efficient and cohesive with the lab as possible. Be on the lookout for new how-to’s as well as a video walk through which will cover all of this.

Upcoming Show Reminders

Happy Holidays and congratulations on surviving the fall show season! Easy on the rest though, January brings a full schedule of events for ASA! Many of you will be making the trek to Oklahoma City for our 2nd Super National of the year at the 3rd Annual Cattlemen’s Congress at the first of the year.

Cattlemen’s Congress has easily become one of our largest shows, which means stalling gets tight. Stalling requests are processed with entries and lists very specific instructions found on their website to ensure you have the best chance of getting your request. To help us and other breeders, please let us know if you will be scratching your entries ASAP. If you have Cattlemen’s Congress questions, please send those to Cassie (cassie@shorthorn.org) for tie show and Wade (wade@shorthorn.org) for the pen show. A schedule for Cattlemen’s

Congress can be found on page 78. National Western Stock Show comes in next in our schedule for National shows. If you have not entered, late entries will be considered until December 21st. We are excited to see the updates to the facility, as last year’s progress in the yards was impressive. We worked for months with NWSS staff to adjust our schedule to flow well with other breeds and allow time for exhibitors to haul between OKC and Denver. If you will be making both shows, reach out to Wade or Cassie if you need help with schedules. Find a schedule for NWSS on page 78.

Closing out January finds our crew at Fort Worth Stock Show. Unique to FWSS, open entries must be owned by the exhibitor. Be sure to transfer any animals to the needed exhibitor prior to the ownership deadline. A schedule for FWSS is located on page 78.

At this time, we do not have a show date provided to us from Dixie Nationals in Jackson, Mississippi for our final National Show. We are anxiously awaiting their schedule for which February weekend we will show. We will update our website, insider and social media with dates ASAP. This was a fun show for many new exhibitors in 2022; we anticipate many to return, and more to enter!

As a reminder, please let us know if you will not be attending a show you have entered to allow us to reallocate tie spaces, we appreciate your help to ensure a good experience for all.

We look forward to seeing you at upcoming events! Should you need anything as you prepare, we are happy to assist you with your needs. We look forward to seeing everyone as we ring in 2023.

Exhibitors and breeders now have access to view current show standings by navigating to the “Show Points” page on DigitalBeef. You will see this option on the left-hand side menu. Show results will be added as the ASA receives them.

Beef Blurb

Home for the Holidays

Ever since I started college in 2012, the time around Christmas are some of my favorite days of the year. As a college student I was six hours from home, and I have now doubled that distance as a Kansas resident.

Since I live so far, I only get to see my family a few times throughout the year, especially my grandparents. At times, that distance can be really difficult because of special occasions I may miss out on throughout the year. Birthdays are just sending a card and a few minute phone call or maybe a Facetime. My gramps will be turning 90 this year and I will miss being in Texas for that special day. I am lucky enough that I am close to my in-laws. Seth’s grandpa is only about two miles away from our house and his parents are maybe three miles away. We live in what we like to call “the Diehm circle.” So, while I am far from my family, I am fortunate we can be close to his family. They are there whenever we need them.

Going back to Hamilton, Texas, for the holidays is my favorite because I get to spend time with my three siblings, parents and be back home where I grew

up for several days. As we have got older, the four of us “kids,” have grown really close even with all the distance between us. We have a fun group text and call each other all the time to chat or when we need help with something. We used to have the best family vacations with six people in one car traveling from Texas to Montana or farther, but it is nice that our relationship is even better now as adults. When we get together, we are guaranteed to have lots of fun.

Another favorite part of traveling back to Texas in December is the weather. If you know me at all, you know that I don’t really like snow. We get way more of that in Kansas than I want. And this was the first year since I lived in Kansas that it hasn’t snowed on Halloween! When we go back to Texas for December, usually it can be in the 60s or 70s for high temps. One year we even killed a rattlesnake the day after Christmas. The weather is a nice break from the cold of Kansas.

The last thing that I really enjoy is the ranch and seeing all the cattle. My parents usually leave some cattle work for when all the kids are home so they can get a lot done with help. There is just

something special about being back on the ranch working some Hereford cattle with my family. It is what I grew up doing and I enjoyed it when we lived it home. Plus, I know my parents enjoy having us all back home working together. Even though Seth and I have land of our own now, we don’t have cows yet. Our goal is to have some by 2024 so when we are in Texas, we enjoy seeing cattle.

Being back in Texas also reminds how lucky I am for the life I had growing up. It helped make me who I am today and is part of the reason I am in this job now. My cattle gave me a passion for the industry. My family encouraged me to run for the junior board and now I am lucky enough to lead the best junior board in the country (I may be a little partial). I love this job and the people I get to work with that make it even more special.

I love Kansas, but I will always be a Texan at heart. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! I look forward to seeing everyone in January at Cattlemen’s Congress.

Ferguson ajsa director

As I write my first article as an AJSA board member, I want to begin by thanking everyone who put their trust in me to fill this role. Blessed, speechless, and amazed are just a few of the words that come to mind when I think about the opportunity to serve the Shorthorn breed and represent AJSA members.

During the current holiday season, many of us are visiting family and celebrating the joy this time of year brings. As a college student, I look forward to winter break, always. At first, I thought this was simply because of no class and home-cooked meals! While this is positive, I realize how much I appreciate moments spent with my parents on the farm. Growing up, working at the barn meant time for my family to discuss daily events that had occurred and truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

My fondest memories are without a doubt the weeks my parents and I have spent at cattle shows together. In the Shorthorn industry, we, as members, are fortunate to count on and spend time with our “family” year-round. The AJSA has created a sense of camaraderie that has allowed members to create lifelong

friendships. This breed separates itself apart from the rest as I often see juniors congratulating each other outside of the ring, pushing competition to be the best version of themselves, and leaning on one another during adversity.

With the enjoyment of good food, gifts, and days spent with loved ones, the holiday season can be hectic as well. Sometimes, people in the livestock industry dread these busy days. Patience is a word we should all keep in mind when everything seems to be going awry. James 5:7-8 reads, “See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm”. It takes time to build a herd, daily chores can be dreadful during cold weather, and improving your operation can be a lengthy process. But we must be patient, consider the outcome, and remember our “why”.

I encourage each of you to check on members of your “Shorthorn family” during this holiday season! Remember to be thankful for the opportunities you are given and the accomplishments you have made!

Every $ Counts.

The Shorthorn Youth Development Fund (SYDF) provides financial support that will sustain and expand excellent programming to develop Shorthorn youth as cattle producers and responsible, productive citizens.

Shorthorn Show Honoree

Frank Stoltzfus - Masonic Village Farm

Frank Stoltzfus was born and raised on a small livestock and crop farm in Elverson, Pennsylvania. His earliest memory is of feeder cattle being in the pasture and finished cattle in the barn. Frank began showing cattle in 4-H at the age of ten with a crossbred calf. He started farming on his own at the age of fifteen with a few acres of corn and feeding a handful of cattle. He continued to expand the farm and upon graduation from High School joined a partnership with his younger brother. Frank married his High School sweetheart, Irene, and she became fully involved in the farm operation caring for the farrowing of 200 sows along with helping with the crop work. The Stoltzfus’ stayed on the home farm for the next 10 years until 1985 when Frank had the opportunity to join the Farm Staff at Masonic Homes in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, where he worked as the crop foreman and was responsible for a small herd of about 30 crossbred cows and a small feedlot that finished about 200 head per year.

When he joined Masonic Homes, he was introduced to the for breeding the crossbred herd. Along with Gerald Tracy, farm manager, they continued to use Shorthorn bulls for the next several years taking advantage of the appendix program at the American Shorthorn Association. Dr. Roger Hunsley, the ASA Executive Secretary, encouraged them to “breed up” the crossbred cows and work toward producing Purebreds. The farm also continued to finish 200 head of steers a year and many were Shorthorn calves, that were slaughtered at their own facility for internal use at Masonic Village which had approximately 500 residents.

In 1990 Frank was put in charge of all the livestock, dairy, and crop operations and became the Farm Manager. They farm also decided to intensify the management of the Shorthorn herd. They went to the neighboring state of Ohio to the Byland herd and at their annual sale bought Byalnd Strongbox and Byland Cindy Beauty. These two became “foundation cattle” and herd changers. They continued to use the appendix program to breed more Purebred calves. For the next several years they purchased females from the Byland and Waukaru operations. They began to sell several Shorthorn heifer calves per year at the Keystone Autumn Klassic. That sale was a highlight for them for the next 28 years. They also started to show at the

Pennsylvania Farm Show, Keystone International Livestock Exposition, and the Eastern Regional Shorthorn Show. They continued to show at these three shows for the next 25 years.

Their operation started a new era in 1995. McElhaney Stock Farm from Hookstown, Pennsylvania, Hively Highland Farm from East Waterford, Ohio, High Hope Cattle Company from Frederick, Maryland, and their newly named farm - Masonic Village Farm joined together to market cattle through a public auction held in the hills of western Pennsylvania. From 1995 until 2005 we sold 20 to 25 lots in the Mid-Atlantic Genetic Productions sale. During these years they continued to grow the cow herd, now at about 125 cows, and finish cattle for Masonic Village residents.

In 2002 at Schrag Shorthorns sale, they purchased 20 bred cows with great matron pedigrees along with SS Dakota Thunder. They were also able to obtain 40 units for semen from a new bull on the scene, WHR Sonny. This was a purchase that uplifted their herd for the next 15 years. They were able to purchase the Shorthorn herd from Mary Mahaffey after she lost her husband Mike. With the purchase of these final 15 cows, they were set to produce deep pedigreed Shorthorn genetics for the next decade.

In 2005 the Shorthorn Junior Nationals came to Pennsylvania for the first and only time. Frank had the privilege of working with a great group of people as Show Chairman for the event. This show was the first major event in the newly constructed completely air-conditioned Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. Pennsylvania Juniors entered over 90 head in the show which is still the record high number of entries for PA. What a great opportunity that was to showcase Shorthorns.

In 2012 the focus of the farm was changing. They built a 300-head feedlot finishing about 600 per year and began selling beef into New York City through a partnership with Happy Valley Meat Company. Their numbers sold to the

beef market rapidly grew and they needed all the calves they were producing to fill that market. They also increased the number of crossbred cows to about 200 using mostly ShorthornPlus cows. From the purchase of the first Shorthorn bull in 1980 until the Masonic Village Farm Shorthorn Dispersal Sale in 2018, they were able to sell Shorthorn Genetics into at least 24 states and 2 foreign countries including Canada and Brazil. Frank really enjoyed the cattle and more importantly the people he was able to meet. Frank believes this breed truly is a PEOPLE BREED.

In addition to the Masonic Village Farm, Frank has been able to give back to the industry in several ways. He has been a board member of the Pennsylvania Beef Council, Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association, Beef Quality Assurance Commission, Keystone International Livestock Exposition Beef Committee, Pennsylvania Farm Show Beef Committee, Pennsylvania Shorthorn Breeders Association President, Director Pennsylvania Shorthorn Breeders Association, and a delegate to the American Shorthorn Association for ten consecutive years.

The farm has also been very fortunate to receive two national beef awards. In 2011 they were awarded the NCBA winner of the National Environmental Stewardship Award. In 2016 they were awarded the NCBA winner of the National Beef Quality Assurance Cow/ Calf Award.

Congratulations to the well-deserving, Frank Stoltzfus on being our 2022 Keystone International Livestock Expo Shorthorn Show Honoree! =

American Royal

What began as a small herd of multipurpose Shorthorns for Jack and Aletha Loving’s family in the 1940s has grown into one of the largest Shorthorn herds in the country and one of the most data-driven, technologically advanced programs in the world. The first heifers arrived on the farm in 1948 and by 1958, Jack Loving swept the Kansas State Fair Polled Shorthorn bull, heifer, and pair show, with some of the first calves from Kintyre Martinet.

Today, Loving Farms has more than 300 head of females active in the American Shorthorn Association. Marty Loving and his son, Scott, have emphasized the importance of accurate and comprehensive data collection and analysis. From breeding and conception to calving ease and growth measurements through the feed-out and harvest stage, nothing is overlooked or minimized in their drive to offer a complete commercial animal. Maternal traits are critically analyzed at every opportunity and are evidenced by Loving Farm’s recognition of ASA Performance animals, of which they have had the most in the breed since the program’s reintroduction.

In 2016, they began testing all yearling bull prospects for feed efficiency utilizing the GrowSafe System. They have expanded that to all yearling replacement heifers. By feeding out their own calves they realized how economically important feed efficiency is to the bottom line and aim to improve these genetics and the profitability of the commercial producer as well as the sustainability of the industry.

Loving Farms has identified feed efficiency as a commercially and economically important trait to use for selection. Five years ago, they began feed efficiency testing our sale bulls, and steers and recently started testing all replacement heifers on the Grow Safe system. They felt the need to document the feed conversion of their cattle for customers and then help them realize that value will carry over into their replacements. Loving Farms expect their focus on feed efficiency will help the industry move toward a more sustainable status. They aim to be a national leader in feed efficiency testing and genetics and believe it is possible to increase feed efficiency by 20-30% in 3-4 generations of breeding and selection.

Loving Farms believes Shorthorns have long had a place in the commercial industry. Their natural ability to convert feed efficiently while having superior carcass traits, coupled with unparalleled maternal traits make them the most ideal and underutilized crossbreeding tool, for many operations. Their goal is to continue increasing Shorthorn bulls’ marketability through marketing patterns they have developed over the last three decades.

Loving Farms has developed partnerships based on the reputation of their genetics with several backgrounders/ feeders who are eager buyers of Loving Farms Shorthorn-influenced calves. Partners buy direct from the farm, at reasonable market prices without the sale expense, commissions, and middlemen. Loving Farms’ reputation has also created the opportunity for partnership with feedlots that are very much in tune with the ability of Shorthorn influenced cattle’s ability to gain and convert in the top tier of all cattle fed.

Finally, Loving Farms believes in continuous improvement in our grazing practices, water conservation efforts, and cover crop usage to conserve the

land for future generations and believes Shorthorns are the ideal breed to succeed in their sustainability efforts. The 6500-acre diversified operation consists of dryland and irrigated crops and pastures supporting nearly 300 cows. Loving Farms utilizes cover crops and underground irrigation to contribute to the sustainability of their farm and the industry.

Marty served on the ASA board for six years. Both Marty and Scott have been presidents of the Kansas Shorthorn Association and Karen was Secretary of the Kansas Shorthorn Association for eight years. Loving Farms has been the recipient of the Century Club Award for the last fifteen years. In 2021, Loving Farms was named a finalist for the 2021 BIF Seedstock Producer of the Year.

All of Loving Farm’s extensive datakeeping, diligent breeding philosophies, and 74 years of dedication to the breed are represented in their annual production sale, the first Saturday in March, where they offer more than 70 Shorthorn and ShorthornPlus bulls and 30 open heifers.

Congratulations to Loving Farms for being the 2022 American Royal National Shorthorn Show Honoree!
