American Shorthorn Association

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 that qualify to their sire and/or dam (if those profiles are available) 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.

Association Outlook

Montie D. asa executive Soules secretary/CEO

Only You Control Genetic Decisions

t is the time of the year when folks are busy calving or battling winter weather to feed and care for their herds. By February, most cattle people, farmers and ranchers are tired of the battle that comes every winter. If you planned well and prepared for the winter - feeding, watering and general cattle duties - the chores are not nearly as taxing. Those who have prepared for the winter effects do not get the February blues like those that have a battle every day. The same can be said about planning and preparing for the spring, summer and fall. Whether you are calving in January, February and March, or in March, April and May, you still need a breeding plan for 2022. Genetic selection is one of the most important processes in your cattle operation. Do you need to purchase a bull? Do you need to purchase some semen or get it shipped to the farm, so you have it ready when it is time to breed or have embryo transplant dates set up with the embryology team? These are all necessary preparations. What tools will you use in selecting the genetics for your future? These decisions require more than just shooting from the hip. I am going to address something you may not think about. As you run the operation many of the choices you have are dictated to you even though you may be able to choose a different dealer or vendor. The prices you pay for fuel, equipment, insurance, utilities, feed, drugs, seed, fertilizer, most all your supplies, have a set price and you are required to pay the going rate. You can contract some of these items, like feed

or fertilizer and a few other items, but make a big difference in your bottom the only big freedom you have to make line for years to come. an economic difference is in the genetics You are the person who makes those you select.

Beef Business

Matt director of Woolfolk performance programs

Measuring Up for Carcass Traits Many of us in the Shorthorn breed view the end product as the cattle we sell to go to work in other herds, both registered and commercial. However, we must keep in mind that the ultimate product we are raising on our ranches is the beef that is in our local meat market and on our neighbors’ plates. We may be a couple steps removed from the commercial cattleman or feedlot operator who sends the fed cattle to the plant, but our decisions impact that product each and every day. The modern consumer meat trade is being driven by a strong demand for high-quality beef. As we collect data on our seedstock to document their performance, the most complex piece of data we can collect is carcass performance of our genetics. It’s hard to know if our genetics can produce the type of beef the market demands without some data to support them. The problem here is that most of the time, you can’t have a heifer be a carcass data point and a replacement female at the same time! Fortunately, technology allows us to collect reliable carcass statistics while keeping our breeding stock on the hoof by using ultrasound technology. Carcass ultrasound allows us to take an image of a bull or heifer’s ribeye using an ultrasound probe on the side of the animal. From that image, we can determine important metrics such as ribeye area, fat thickness, and percentage of intramuscular fat. It’s

a very specialized business. Carcass ultrasound requires a certified technician to take the images of your cattle. These technicians must attend and pass a certification course to ensure that they are capable of collecting images that are acceptable for interpretation and use in breed association EPD calculations. The technician will send the images they take from your cattle to a processing lab to interpret the images and measure the data points from that image. The lab will send the information to the ASA office, who inputs the information into the database and reports results back to you. A complete list of currently certified technicians is available on the Ultrasound Guidelines Council website (ultrasoundguidelinescouncil.org). Carcass ultrasound data in Digital Beef is reported as an adjusted figure to a year of age, to level the playing field of cattle being scanned at various ages. The age window that ASA will accept ultrasound information on cattle is from 270 to 500 days. Bulls and heifers both can have ultrasound data collected on them. While most larger bull sales in the industry sell sire prospects that have carcass scan data, it’s important to not forget about your replacements heifers when taking this data. Carcass ultrasound data on your females is arguably more valuable to genetic improvement in your herd, where carcass ultrasound on bull calves pushes genetic improvement in

shorthorn country = february 2022

your buyers’ herds. The heifers you keep back are the foundation for the future of your cow herd, and having carcass scan information adds accuracy to your carcass trait EPDs in those cows you’ll be breeding for years to come. Additionally, it’s likely that ASA can provide breeders a financial incentive to collect carcass ultrasound data on their heifers. The ASA’s Genomically Enhanced Female Project provides a cost rebate on genomic testing that the savings can cover the costs of hiring a technician to come scan your heifers. The busy season for ultrasound technicians is this time of year, generally from January through April. If you have considered doing some ultrasound data collection on your cattle, now is the time to look for a technician and get on their schedules. If your herd is smaller and you don’t have a lot of cattle to scan but want to collect the data, you can work with other breeders in the area to get as many head in one scanning session to minimize expenses for everyone involved. To continue to move the Shorthorn breed forward, we have to know where we currently stand for traits of importance. Carcass data is no exception, and thanks to the ultrasound technology, we can discover a baseline for our genetic merit for these valuable traits while keeping the animals in the breeding herd. =

Let’s Get Out of This World Wow, it is hard to believe that we are already a few months into 2022. It seems like just yesterday we were in Louisville, Kentucky, for the 2021 National Junior Shorthorn Show & Youth Conference. The day I am writing this, we have 152 days until the 2022 NJSS and as you are reading it, we will be even closer! Planning is fully underway for the NJSS on June 19-25 in Kansas City, Missouri and we can’t wait for the “Out of This World” week with our Shorthorn family. The AJSA junior board met to discuss the 2022 show following the IGS Youth Summit in Amarillo, Texas. They made a few changes to the contests, and we want to share with the members these changes! The career development

contest was new last year and a great success with many participants. This year the participants will select one of the provided jobs descriptions and then submit their resume and cover letter by May 15. The materials will be reviewed by a panel of judges and during the NJSS, participants will go through a mock interview based on their submissions. After the contest, they will receive a critique of their materials and interview. All online contests are due by May 15 this year, be sure to submit your photography or graphic design entries to contests@shorthorn.org by the deadline. You also must sign up for all individual contests during entry this year, including showmanship. This will allow schedules and heats to be made prior to NJSS. The

junior board made some other changes to contests and topics but are so excited to see how these changes improve the NJSS for our members. Be sure to visit juniorshorthorn.org/ contest-rules-2022/ to view the new contest and updates. You can view the new speech topics and cut of beef for the cook-off. We have also included rubrics for the speaking contests so participants know what the judge follows. We look forward to an exciting NJSS this summer and can’t wait to see everyone in Kansas City! Be sure to watch the AJSA Facebook page and website to stay up to date on all details related to NJSS. =

A Lasting Legacy Through New Traditions and progress within the Shorthorn breed. Not only were there a historic numbers of entries at OKC, but there was also history made in the sale ring. The annual Summit Sale that was once started on the hill in Denver, has carried on the tradition of excellent genetics and youth support. Cates Farms sold the record setting purebred Shorthorn bull. In terms of long lasting impacts on youth within the breed like myself, this sale also helped generate a generous amount of funds of more than $25,000. This was the release and sale of limited edition Artists Proofs of a new painting by CJ Brown called “Shorthorns Across America.” Not to mention a one of the kind registration number of “1872,” the founding year of the first and longest lasting breed association in the country. The proceeds from the painting and registration number will support youth activities such as the National Junior Shorthorn Show. The American Shorthorn Association will continue to lead a lasting legacy through new traditions as the world we live in continues to change. =

Words of Advice

“

Cattleman’s Congress is set to be the new tradition as the anchor in the major show season, yet as we look back on our past as a breed, we can’t forget the things we have learned and carried over from the National Western. Though in a different location and different atmosphere, the spirit of Denver and the yards may have a new home in Oklahoma City. During an 11 day streak in the city, I learned and discovered that the traditions from the National Western and the Stockyards still thrived in a new place. Within our breed, we had a record setting number of entries, not just in the Junior and Open shows, but within the pen show that is carried on directing from Denver. Not to mention the Waukaru Farms continued their tradition of their annual calf fry in the yards, welcoming all breeders to their pen to enjoy food and conversation. Keeping events the same from the past years is easier said than done in the livestock world, but something that Cattleman’s Congress excels in is just that. Bringing the old into a more modern, advanced path that is paving the way for more history to be made not only in show cattle, but more specifically change

News & Notes Farewells Tammy R. Benjamin, 51, of Freeman SD passed away peacefully on December 20th, 2021 at Avera McKennan Hospital with her family at her side. Tammy Schrag was born in Sioux Falls, SD to Doug and Candace Schrag on December 15, 1970. She committed her life to our Lord and Savior at a very young age and was baptized on May 22, 1988 at the SalemZion Mennonite Church. She graduated from Freeman Public High School in 1989 and received her Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Sioux Falls University and went on to receive her Masters degree in Reading Recovery from Black Hills State University. Tammy married Dan Benjamin on June 20th,1998 and through this union produced her two greatest joys in life, daughter Ashlyn on October 26,2001 and son Tyce, born April 22, 2006.

Her children were the light of her life and brought her incredible joy and happiness. She was particularly excited for her upcoming Grandma duties and so loved her future granddaughter whom we have all yet to meet. Faith in Christ was the foundation of a life that grew Tammy into the kind, compassionate, unselfish soul that so many of us will cherish forever. She had a particular love of children, in earlier years, she was the go to babysitter for so many families in the area. It is this love of kids and her kind, helping spirit that attracted her to the teaching profession where she was able to share her bright, bubbly personality with young minds in the elementary school system. Tammy always enjoyed the little things in life. From Chinese food to the family pets, Blossom and Speedy. She always enjoyed a good trip to Sioux Falls to do a little shopping and planting flowers in Spring with her beloved children was always a favorite time of year. When she wasn’t taking care of the craziness of raising her own family, she would always

be seen in the seats of a cattle show watching her niece and nephew do what they love. Providing some comfort during this difficult time is knowing Tammy spent a heavenly Christmas with her father, Doug, whom she loved so dearly. Grateful for having shared her life, she is survived by husband Dan, children Ashlyn and Tyce. Mother Candace Schrag, her husband Vernon. Brother Cory Schrag, wife Melissa, children Samantha and Jaxon. Sister-in-law Deana Benjamin, son Kai. Sister-in-law Kris Williams, her husband Troy, their children Trelyn, Riley and Silas. Sisterin-law Lindsey Tuschen, husband Alan, children Emma, Hadleigh, Kenzie, Willa and Trent. Mother-in-law Tammy Mutchelknaus, husband Rob. Father-inlaw Bill Benjamin, wife Cindy and son Ford. She is preceded in death by her loving father Doug Schrag and Grandparents Paul and Ada Schrag and Grandparents Ben and Mildred Schrag. =
