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

Herd sires born After January 1, 2022

ere we are at the beginning of another new year, 2022. The older we get the faster the years fly by. Even as we look back at the inconveniences and issues of the past year or two and tragedies for some from Covid-19, I really believe these changes that occur each year become part of our lives forever. We learn to live with them and control them so life and activity can go on. The same applies to many of the changes we have seen in the cattle industry and especially the Shorthorn breed. New technology appears and new rules must be put in place to govern these changes over the years. The ASA Board of Directors approved a new rule pertaining to DNA testing Shorthorn and ShorthornPlus bulls born on or after January 1, 2022 when they sire calves needing to be registered. There seems to be a lot of concerns by members and breeders and misunderstandings about this ruling. I want to attempt to give you a full detailed account of how this rule works and gets put in place. First, I want to ensure everyone knows that this does not affect any bull born before January 1, 2022. Nothing changes for those bulls that are used as herd sires. The rules states Shorthorn and ShorthornPlus bulls born on or after January 1, 2022 must have a genomic DNA profile on record at the ASA before any calves can be registered, sired by said bulls. So there is no misunderstanding, I will give you the reasons for this rule. This rule is focusing on bulls that are turned into the pasture or nature service type matings. AI bulls already have DNA requirements that will not change or have anything to do with this rule. A bull born on Jan. 1, 2022 cannot sire a calf until he is of age to produce semen. This is generally close to 12 months of age. So, the bull may be 12 to 15 months old before he is used as a herd sire and turned out with cows. Before he 8

is turned out with cows, he should be DNA tested so that the resulting calves he may sire are eligible for registration. Testing him before he is turned out is the safest bet - the bull could get injured and/or die and you do not have a DNA sample. Also, think about testing any bulls you are going to sell to breeders that will use them in a registered herd. There are no penalties associated with this rule; you can DNA test a bull at any time. The bull just needs to be tested before any resulting calves can be registered. Bulls born before Jan. 1, 2022, are not affected. There are no changes in the registration fees of the resulting calves. Now you might wonder, why the genomic test? When a genomic test is done, the markers for parentage automatically come with the genomic test. You are getting parentage markers and genomics at the same time. There has been a continuous increase in seeing animals that are genomically tested not matching their registered parents. The search then starts to find the parent that qualifies. With many of the sires used naturally not having any DNA, it makes it extremely hard to verify parentage. The process of finding the correct sire is a struggle sometimes due to the lack of DNA markers on prospective qualifiers. By having all sires’ parentage DNA on file, the process will be streamlined and help keep the herd book accurate. You ask why? Well history of other breeds doing extended research in this area has proven that approximately 12% to 15% of the registry is incorrect for parentage qualifications. These are unintentional mistakes that happen daily. Having the parentage markers to find the proper sire will make a huge difference in both the frustrations for members and the association. Going further into the question of why genomics, as I explained the parentage markers come with a genomic DNA test. The result will provide

shorthorn country = january 2022

the new herd sire having genomically enhanced EPDs. It gets even better. Once we have a breed with all the sires genomically tested and all the performance turned in on their progeny, our accuracies will greatly increase on all genomically enhanced EPDs. You see the huge advantage is having a lifetime of performance on a sire and that sire having been genomically tested. The comparisons of the performance data to the proper markers brings credibility to the prediction of future generations. If you are going to get a sample and send it in to find parentage, take full advantage and do the genomic test too and build the future of the breed today. The more animals in the registry that have genomics done adds to the accuracy of the EPDs with in the entire breed. For additional information about this ruling also reference “Since You Asked” on page 12. These decisions made by the ASA Board of Directors and staff are entirely based on moving the breed forward and preparing members and breeders for the future. This activity may be one of the most important decisions ever made when the breed looks back 10 or 20 years from now. This is laying the groundwork for whatever comes down the pike not only in 2022, 2023 but for the next 150 years as technology will dictate value and acceptance in our industry! I sure hope and trust you all have a very prosperous 2022 and beyond! =

Beef Business

Matt director of Woolfolk performance programs

Performance Ratios 101 At the time of writing, weaning data is coming in at a quick rate on those spring calves across Shorthorn nation. By the time this issue hits your mailbox, yearling and carcass ultrasound data collection time will be nearing on the horizon. Then bull sale season will start and the season of studying all the top prospects in Digital Beef will begin for the serious, number-driven shopper. When looking at the weaning data (or any data point) for a group of calves, you might notice that each animal has a “ratio” listed next to the measurement. If you are not familiar with the concept of ratios, this article is the perfect place for you to be. If you are well-versed in the role of performance ratios in your herd, hopefully this isn’t too elementary reading for you. Simply put, ratios are a handy way to measure the performance of a calf with the rest of its contemporaries. Here are some important pieces of info to know about performance ratios: 1. When talking about ratios, the number 100 is our base point. The average value of all animals in a contemporary group is considered to be the 100 ratio. If a group of bull calves have an average weaning weight of 600 pounds, ratios will be based off their relation to that 600 lb. weight. If a calf in the group weighed 600 lb. himself, then he will ratio as a 100. 2. Ratios measure the differences in performance from the group average. An individual’s ratio number tells us his percent variation from the average of his contemporaries. If a bull calf ratios

110 for WW, he weighed in ten percent heavier than the average. If his WW ratio is a 90, then he was ten percent less than the average. Using the figures from point 1 above, the 110 ratioing calf would have weighed 660 lb., while the 90 ratio calf would hit the scales at 540 lb. 3. For all measured traits, a higher value will yield a higher calculated ratio. This is logical for weaning, yearling, and ultrasound data, but admittedly takes some getting used to for birth weight data. If you are looking for a bull calf that came into the world as a small calf but grew quickly, then you would want to find one with a birth ratio below 100 and then above 100 for other weights traits. Ratios for birth weight are similar thinking to golf scoring: lower numbers mean a smaller birth weight. 4. Ratios that you see in Digital Beef will be based on adjusted weights and measures. While you can calculate your own ratios at home based off raw weight, what you will find in the registry system will be based on adjusted data. Since adjusted data is what goes into the EPD calculations, that is the information we will display. 5. Single animals always ratio as a 100. When a bull calf is a one-man show in his contemporary group, there is no one to compare his performance to. He is the best, the worst, and the average all in one package! Since ratios are a measure of comparison, there’s no way to compare a single animal to anything else. Even if he weighed 1,500 lb. as a yearling, he is still a 100 ratio.

6. I’ve been asked several times if performance ratios are a good method of comparing animals across herds. Personally, I rarely use individual ratios to compare bulls from one herd to another. I think EPDs are more valuable to make those types of comparisons. There might be a situation where the highest ratio bull calf at Farm A just happened to be the “least poor” in a group of slow growers. His ratio may look great, but how would he compare if he were in a pen of highperforming stock at Farm B? Differences in genetics and management from place to place make it difficult to find much value in comparing ratios across herds. Thankfully, EPD calculations do a better job removing all the outside noise to give us a better way to analyze our livestock’s genetic potential. Hopefully this shed some more light on performance ratios and answers some of the questions you might have. If you have other questions on performance ratios, please don’t hesitate to reach out (matt@shorthorn.org). Best of luck to all our Shorthorn exhibitors heading to Oklahoma City, Denver, and Fort Worth this month. I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to make any of those shows this year, but it’s important to stay close to home this January. Enjoy your time on the show road! =

Since You Asked...

Heather director of office operations, Lange registrations & DNA

New Rule, Explained If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again - or so they say! There has been quite the buzz about the new rule put into motion by the board, regarding bull testing. Hopefully this article will give better insight and put into real terms what we are looking for. To preface, this rule is NOT saying that all bulls born after January 1, 2022 have to be tested. Nor is it saying that all bulls born and registered after January 1, 2022 have to be tested. What it is saying is that any bulls born after January 1, 2022 who will produce offspring, have to be tested before those offspring can be recorded in our registry. These bulls will not be able to have calves hit the ground until 2023, most likely, so this rule will not really take effect until then. Bear with me – this will be a lengthier article than you are probably used to from me, but my hope is that the contents will answer burning questions and ideally spread awareness of why this is going to happen, as well as encourage breeders to welcome the new policy. One question we have received many times - which bulls are subject to this new rule? The answer is: only Shorthorn and ShorthornPlus bulls born on or after January 1, 2022. If you are registering Shorthorn Plus calves out of foundation, commercial, or bulls from outside breeds, you do not need to test those bulls. Again, only Shorthorn and ShorthornPlus bulls (who will become sires) born after January 1, 2022 need this testing. When you go to register your calves soon after January 1, 2022, this rule should not hold you up. This is because only after January 1, 2022 will the bulls who this rule pertains to, even be registered in the first place. Being redundant, these bulls do not need testing to be registered. They need

testing if, when they are older, you plan to use or sell them for breeding purposes. This rule does not affect Shorthorn or ShorthornPlus bulls that are in your pastures who were born prior to January 1, 2022. Another question we have gotten – what if I’ve registered a bull (who was born after January 1, 2022) and I never tested him, but I did sell him for commercial purposes, and now that buyer wants to register calves out of him? This is easy! The buyer can simply test that bull at any time. It just must be done before his calves get recorded. Also, if this decision is made after said bull is gone, the calves he wishes to register will just need the 100K testing done in his place. There are no penalty DNA testing fees at all. Testing costs stay the same, no matter how old your post-Jan. 1, 2022 bull is, or when he is tested (or his offspring in his place, for that matter). Now for a big question – why? Many have reached out wondering why the board decided on this rule. The answer is essentially 3-part. First, to put bluntly, you can look at most breed registries and assume that around 12-15% (sometimes more) of its records are incorrect. We have found in our own breed, through more and more DNA testing, that animals just get registered incorrectly. It happens, we are not pointing fingers or playing a blame-game whatsoever. We are simply hoping that this new rule can be used to alleviate this problem. The future of our industry is data driven. We can only strive to provide the most accurate data and herd book to represent our breed, and the board agreed that this new ruling will get us one step closer to that goal. Secondly, and tied closely to the first reason, testing these bulls gets parentage markers on file for them.

shorthorn country = january 2022

This was the main reason for the ruling. When we have parentage markers on a bull, we can then compare any offspring that we need or want to, to him, which helps when breeders are unsure of a mating, which happens more often than you would think, because as we all know, “..it” happens! Lastly, the board agreed to the 100K genomic testing because it not only provides the parentage markers that we are seeking, but it also gets your bulls the genomically enhanced EPDs. As your bulls sire calves, all of that performance data goes into the genomic data base, and as the years go by with more and more of this data, our records will be that much more accurate as an entire breed, but also on the individual breeder’s level too. We realize that this is a big change. With change comes resistance, and of course, questions. As a staff, we are here to assist with those questions as best we can. This is a new rule for us too, so bear with us, again. The staff and your board all feel that we as a breed will be bettered by this new rule. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our office or your Board of Directors. Many of you have already, which is great! This article exists because of questions, and hopefully, the reach of the magazine will extend to those who might have had the same questions but didn’t want to ask. On a lighter note, I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas, New Year, and all-around holiday season! Here’s to an outstanding 2022! =

ASA Makes Appearance at the Working Ranch Expo The Shorthorn breed was represented in the bright lights and big city of Las Vegas, Nevada, during the last week of the National Finals Rodeo. The Working Ranch Magazine based out of Nev., hosted a trade show for agricultural businesses and organizations on December 7th – 10th. This was the first year for the Working Ranch Expo and it had attendees from all over the U.S. We had several interested cattlemen and women stop by our booth

to discuss the traits of Shorthorn cattle. Many of our visitors were from Montana and Idaho; they were excited to see the breed represented so they could learn more about what Shorthorn can offer their herd. We had many compliments on our 10x20 booth and presence in the trade show. Several attendees stopped to pick up our promotional material or read the Shorthorn facts we displayed. We look forward to seeing this event

shorthorn country = january 2022

grow so we can reach a new market of potential breeders. It’s important for the breed to continue to make our presence known at events like these. We hope to see you on February 1-3, 2022, in Houston, Texas for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Convention and Trade Show. The International Genetics Solutions breeds have a large area to promote their breed as well as IGS. =

HUMBLE STOCK FARM

Shorthorns 54 Years of In North Carolina

by Shelby Diehm, ASA

The gravel crunched under the tires as the car came to a stop at Humble Stock Farm outside of Liberty, North Carolina, on the foggy morning. As we loaded into the farm truck, the sun began rising over the trees to draw the fog away. As we drove to the first pasture to see the herd of Shorthorn cattle, Bruce Humble began telling his Shorthorn story. He started a little unusually, his dad had a few milk cows, and he raised the calves for veal. His neighbor had a Shorthorn bull that would produce good veal when crossed with the milk cows. That was their introduction to the Shorthorn breed. Bruce worked for neighbors in tobacco and saved his own money at 11 years old to buy his first Shorthorn. His dad located a man 20 miles away in 18

a neighboring town who had a Shorthorn cow/calf pair. His father took him to see the pair and after reaching an agreement, they hauled them home in the back of an old pickup truck. This was the start of Bruce’s herd that has been growing for the past 54 years. Even though Bruce was

shorthorn country = january 2022

too far away to attend many youth events, he still has his certificate from joining the junior association in 1969. Bruce went to North Carolina State for a two-year agricultural program. He was required in this program to either work on the school farm or another farm. He helped a horned Hereford breeder for a few summers and then had the opportunity to rent the land from the breeder. He now continues to rent the land for his Shorthorn cattle. Although he never showed cattle and his herd is commercial oriented, he has sold a few calves for small shows in the area. He does not have a demand for show cattle like the Midwest, there are not many county fairs or shows in his area. He sells most of his cattle locally. He doesn’t have a big

bull market, but he has sold some cattle as far as Iowa. Les Mathers of Leveldale Farms is a buyer and even flushed a couple of females he purchased from Humble Stock Farm. Bruce only farms and raises cattle. He has about 100 acres of crops including corn, soybeans and wheat. The cattle must pay their way to keep Humble Stock Farm running. He keeps about 150 cows including Purebred Shorthorns with over half being registered. Bruce has been using Waukaru and Leveldale bulls for breeding the last few years. “The purebred cattle we raised have always been competitive with the crossbreds in the feedlot,” Bruce said. “The crossbreds may quality grade better, but Purebred Shorthorns yielded better. The crosses have done well in the feedyard and at market.” On the commercial side Bruce mostly crosses Shorthorns with Angus and used Red Angus a few times in the past. He

mainly crossbreeds to sell replacement females and people seemed interested in that cross. Bruce is thinking about going back to Shorthorn and Red Angus cross to be able to sell some more females. Even though he does some crossbreeding he tries to keep Purebred females and is working to build back a more registered herd. “I sell two to three calves a year for beef,” Bruce said. “It is tough right now to get them processed. When Masonic Village was still around, they fed several steers out for me over the years. We had several steers finished at Tri-County in Iowa, but this year was a challenging year for feeding cattle.” Bruce will sporadically AI their females, but he personally doesn’t do it enough to be good at it and must depend on finding help which at times is hard. He will look at EPDs quite a bit when buying bulls. Bruce is still trying to learn the computer end of inputting data and do more online

record keeping going forward. He doesn’t usually feed much extra to the herd; they usually just get grass. Occasionally he supplements cows or feeds the growing calves, but it varies year to year Outside of the cattle, Bruce and Darlene also have a 1,700 head hog barn for contract on their place. In their area it is hard for farms to be independent. This means that they raise hogs for a large company on a contracted basis. They also have approximately 30 sheep they bought to help control the grass around the hog lagoon. After 58 years of being a bachelor, Bruce and his wife met on a blind date and have been married for 6.5 years. “I love the Shorthorns,” Darlene said. “Our cattle are very docile, it is shocking. I guess every mom thinks their kid is the cutest, but our cattle really are.” =

New ASA Commercial Data Program Kicks Off in 2022 Do your bull customers collect performance data on their calves? Would you like to partner with them to use their information to further validate your genetics? ASA’s new Commercial Producer Data Collection Program could be the answer you are looking for! The ASA has drafted a framework agreement to be used between ASA members and their commercial customers to gather complete performance records on Shorthorn genetics. This program includes guidelines on how to work with commercial producers and their cow herds from birth to yearling, and even tracking replacement females back into production. It is meant to give you the

pieces to work closely with your customer base collecting this information in a way that benefits both parties. The Commercial Producer Data Collection Program is unique in our industry, giving the reins to the seedstock breeder on collecting information to further validate their genetics through commercial progeny testing. It outlines expectations of all parties involved: the Shorthorn breeder, the commercial producer, and the American Shorthorn Association. Starting from the Shorthorn breeder providing semen or herd sires to breed cows, to the data collection expectations from the commercial producer and on to ASA’s role in

submitting the data to genetic evaluation and facilitating genomic data collection. The framework allows some flexibility to make data collection feasible in most commercial situations. For more information on how the Commercial Producer Data Collection Program could work for you and your customers, contact Matt (matt@ shorthorn.org) or Montie (montie@ shorthorn.org) to discuss this new venture. = Matt director of Woolfolk performance programs

NAILE 2021 Shorthorn Show Honoree Moore Shorthorns - Hugh W. Moore Jr & Sons

The Moore Family in Louisville, Ky., receiving the Shorthorn Show Honoree award. Hugh Moore Jr. & Sons, more commonly known as Moore Shorthorns these days, has been a labor of love, hard-work, and faith by five generations of the Moore Family. Started in 1951 by Hugh W. Moore Sr. and his son, Hugh W. Moore Jr., the operation has seen many changes to the breed in the 70 years they have raised the red, white, and roan. While Shorthorn cattle have been on the farm in Jerseyville, IL for longer than 70 years, the MM prefix started marking the first registered Shorthorns for the Moore’s in 1951. In 1962, Hugh Moore Sr. & Jr. exhibited Shorthorn cattle at their first fair. When Hugh Moore Jr.’s sons, Tom & Ron were old enough to show, they too became regulars on the fair circuit exhibiting Shorthorn cattle all over Illinois, and eventually nationwide starting in 1981. Tom and Ron have been very active in the Shorthorn breed and avid supporters of youth livestock activities at local, state and national levels. This love of Shorthorns was passed on to their children when they had families of their own. Ron’s daughters, Emily Adcock and Sarah Nichols and Tom’s daughter, Kelsey Isringhausen and stepchildren, Alex Poppe and Jamie Kallal, all showed for many years and have had active roles within the operation. They have claimed many champion titles and banners across the United States. Ron served on the American Shorthorn Association Board of Directors, his wife, Lori, on the National Lassie Board, and his daughter Emily, served and was President of

the American Junior Shorthorn Association Board of Directors. June is a past National Lassie of the Year recipient. Emily and Sarah also were awarded All- American Junior Breeder Awards and numerous Shorthorn Foundation Scholarships. Honestly, a novel could be written on the many roles of leadership and service all generations of the Moore Family have upheld at local, state, and national levels. The Moore Family was honored as Builders of the Breed in 1987 and was a stop on the World Shorthorn Tour in 2004. They have also been recognized as a Century Club Member many times. The family held an annual production sale for many years and now host a few online sales each year and sell cattle privately. Moore Shorthorns strives to produce Shorthorn cattle that have success in the show ring and most importantly in the pasture. They try to use genetics that help push the needle forward and have used a lot of different bulls including cattle from Canada. Hugh W. Moore Jr. and wife, June, still live on the main farm in Jerseyville, IL. Tom and wife, Sandy, and Ron and wife, Lori, grain farm in partnership and operate the 160 head of Shorthorn cows that make up Moore Shorthorns. Tom and Sandy’s children: Kelsey Isringhausen (husband, Nick), Alex Poppe

(wife, Samantha), Jamie Kallal (husband, Matt) all hold jobs off the farm, but help with grain farming and cattle duties when called upon. Tom and Sandy’s grandchildren: Case & Quinn Isringhausen, Clayton, Anna, Max & Jase Poppe and Cole Spencer are found in the show ring now and hopefully into the future. Clayton has recently joined the family operation full time as he ends his junior show career. Ron and Lori’s children: Emily Adcock (husband, Justin) and Sarah Nichols (husband, Cruz) are still active with Moore Shorthorns. Emily and Justin also raise Angus and Simmental cattle in their own operation and Sarah and Cruz operate Nichols Sheep Farm where they run around 150 head of ewes with a focus on Polled Dorsets and market lambs. Cruz also works full time on the farm. Ron and Lori’s grandchild: Harper Nichols is just getting started on her show career, but she loves to be on the farm. If there is one thing Hugh W. Moore Sr. instilled in the families minds when this all began was that family is everything and we must never break that bond. Moore Shorthorns is a true testament of family and hopefully that tradition continues for 70 more years with generations 5 and beyond. The American Shorthorn Association would like to congratulate Moore Shorthorns, Hugh W. Moore Jr & Sons, for being selected as the 2021 North American International Livestock Exposition, Jack C. Ragsdale National Shorthorn Show Honoree. =

Lawrence Grathwohl Shorthorn Herdsman of the Year - Matthew Hahn Matthew Hahn is the youngest son of Dick and Pam Hahn of Minonk, IL and a part of the 3rd generation of the Hahn Family to produce Shorthorn cattle. Ever since Matthew was young, he had a passion for cattle and was invested in the health and look of his heifers. The Wynonna cow family at HAHN Family Shorthorns, LLC was where his first show heifer came from. Matthew always looked up to his oldest brother Jeremy Hahn on how to fit cattle and his dad on how to feed one. From that point on Matthew took the bull by the horns and took it to another level. Matthew is responsible for all the care and consulting for the show cattle for Hahn Family Shorthorns, LLC at the present day. A talented feeder and fitter, Matthew also has a great eye for evaluating cattle. His best attribute, however, is his care and attention to details for the junior member he works with whether they are in their first year or last year of their projects. Matthew is invested in each child he works with, whether they are his nieces and nephews or young Shorthorn enthusiasts that

purchase their projects from Hahn Family Shorthorns, LLC. Matthew is a great communicator, teacher, and promoter of Shorthorn cattle to these young exhibitors. Matthew has fit numerous Champions across the country culminating, most recently, with HAHN genetics earning Reserve Grand Champion Bull at the 2021 American Royal and the Reserve Grand Champion Female at the 2021 NAILE with HAHN Elizabeth C2H ET. Matthew knows that winning an award like this does not happen overnight. It is spent by many hours in the barn and countless sleepless nights trying to figure out what is next with his customers and that specific animal. Matthew was asked what this award meant to him, “A lot of dreams were accomplished that weekend, with history and tradition standing strong, but the passion and strive to improve while making an impact remain.” With the long history at Hahn Family Shorthorns, LLC, Matthew knows that Lawrence would be proud of his continued dedication to his family, livestock and customers.

The Herdsman of the Year is a prestigious award sponsored by the Shorthorn Foundation and honored with a trophy buckle in memory of Lawrence Grathwohl. Lawrence Grathwohl was a loyal member of the ASA who passed at the young age of 41. He was best known for raising Shorthorn cattle, which he showed all across the country. The award is voted on by fellow Shorthorn breeders and announced during the National Shorthorn Show each year. Congratulations to Matthew Hahn for being selected by his peers for this special award – The 2021 Lawrence Grathwohl Shorthorn Herdsman of the Year. It is well deserved. =

Junior Board

and their families. Our junior board met this summer and we had a junior national debriefing and began to prepare for next year junior nationals. The junior board recommended and voted on the following changes to the AJSA by-laws: Each state is allowed a maximum of two candidates running for the board each year. If more than two are interested, the state makes the selection for the two candidates who will represent that state. Any member of the board of directors may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Director of Junior Activities. Once written notice is received by Director of Junior Activities, the member resigning must tell the Board of Directors at an in-person or virtual meeting. Be sure to watch Facebook and the website for any changes to the junior national, coming soon! Now for some fun! Match the AJSA Junior Board member to the resolution. 1. “My new year resolutions are to get a new family interested in the Shorthorn breed and encourage them to attend the best junior national in the beef industry!” 2. “For my new year resolution, I would like to learn a new skill!” 3. “I would like to be a better role model then I was last year!” 4. “Don’t say yes to everything! Make priorities right and I would like to make more time for myself.” 5. “For my new year resolution, I would like to spend less and save more!” 6. “My new year resolution is to read fifteen books by 2023!” 7. “My new year resolution is to meet new people and to make more friendships!” 8. “For my new year resolution, I would like to work on my time management skills!”

Words of Advice

“The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written.” – Melody Beattie

A. Korbin Collins B. Miller Smith C. Faye Smith D. Sheridan Fox E. Colton Hulsey F. Merideth Behrens G. Xavier Ferris H. Ryan Lane I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! = Answers: 1. G, 2. D, 3. E, 4. C, 5. F, 6. A, 7. B, 8. H

2021 has ended and 2022 is just beginning. We all know that means, it’s time to set New Year’s resolutions. Whether it be a resolution or setting goals for yourself, it is important to have accountability and success markers along the way. I have asked some of our AJSA members from across the nation what some of their 2022 New Year Resolutions were and they said: “I would like to write my own song and work on blowing cattle out better.” Piper Cates, Indiana. “I am going to practice showmanship everyday with the goal of being in the top ten at Shorthorn Jr. Nationals.” – Josie Heter, Kansas. “I am going to work with my calves and rinse them at least once a day and twice a day when it starts getting warmer to make sure they look their best with hopes of winning a buckle this year.” Ryder Heter, Kansas. “I definitely want to try and keep my entire show barn clean and to try and stick to a more consistent calf washing and working schedule in the new year.” – Brandon Barr, Ohio. “I am going to work hard with my heifers and steer in hopes of winning San Antonio and making the sale with my steer at Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.” – Caitlyn Rasor, Texas. “My new year resolutions for this year would be to have a successful senior year, calving season, and show season.” – Charlie Sutherland, Mississippi. “I would like to be more detailed on fitting and clipping and to get better at livestock judging.” – Kadin Worthington, Oklahoma. I would like to thank each of these members for taking the time to participate in my this survey. As a junior board we set goals and resolutions too. One of them is to provide better communication to our junior members
