WHR Breeders WHR Assessments for 2019 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. 2019 assessment on a dam must be completed and paid in order to register her calf born in 2019.) 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 2019 to an assessed 2019 dam will be $0, if calf is registered within 12 months) 2019 ASSESSMENT FEE SCHEDULE: March 1 - December 31, 2019 $25 *Calves born in previous year(s) to unassessed dams will incur additional fees as described below

New WHR Non-Assessed Cow Ruling - Effective Jan. 1, 2019 WHR Breeders: as of January 1, 2019, penalties will be added to WHR breeder registrations for calves born to dams not assessed in the year the calf was born. To avoid penalties, assessment of all dams in the herd must be completed by December 31 of that year. Registration fees of calves born to unassessed dams from previously closed assessment years: • under 12 months of age - $75 • 12-24 months - $95 • over 24 months - $135 *This applies only to animals registered to a dam which was not assessed in the year the calf was born.

Being Responsible

he herd book issue is a great time to look back and review activities at the ASA, but I think the time is even better spent to look forward and share some activities that will be coming your way as members of the American Shorthorn Association. As I write, the office is preparing to leave for the National Junior Shorthorn Show and Youth Conference in Lebanon, TN. Entries this year total just under 800; a record-breaking number. The event continues to grow with great enthusiasm, proving the importance of the Junior program to the future of the ASA. This truly exemplifies that our breed is “The Family Friendly Breed”. I personally want to thank all the breeders who donate and support this event and all the Junior programs. I encourage all members and breeders to advise the youth in the cattle industry about the advantages of being a Junior Shorthorn Member. The AJSA onetime membership fee is good until the end of the year the Junior turns 22 years old; not like other associations that required annual membership fees from Junior members. Another activity to mark down is the National Shorthorn Sire Test Field Day on Aug. 24 at the University of Illinois. This is the 2nd year for this sire test and field day. Some new speakers will address the needs of the industry and the importance of the information we are receiving for the breed from tests like this. Also, Matt and Patrick Wall have been working with Iowa State University on a new testing project for Shorthorn cattle focusing on

Montie D. asa executive Soules secretary/CEO

feed efficiency and how it compares to fertility. We will ask breeders to commit to sending Shorthorn females to participate. If you are interested, email Matt at matt@ shorthorn.org. I am happy to announce that Eric Grant, of Grant Company, St. Joseph, MO is coming on-board with a threeyear agreement to assist with future advertising campaigns. Eric and his team are currently in California doing the first Shorthorn photo shoot today as I write this. The company will be traveling across the US this summer, stopping at various Shorthorn breeders farms and ranches to take video and still photos. This will help build a library for future use in breed promotion. This move will aid in giving the breed a positive image in the cattle industry. For those who are not be aware, Eric Grant was responsible for the “I am Angus” campaign a few years ago. He has a talented team in place and does work for a number of agriculture related companies. Some of his staff also does work for the Kansas City Chiefs. This is top-of-the-line talent working to promote the Shorthorn Breed in conjunction with the ASA staff. We will begin to see the results of building the campaign this fall. Speaking of breed image and promoting Shorthorns to the industry, during some committee conference calls the topic of how members or breeders can affect the Shorthorn image to the industry. The conversations became in depth and we determined that this topic should be addressed at our Annual Meeting Forum. In fact, the comments expressed during

the committee calls motivated Matt and I to share our thoughts on the topic as our feature joint article in this issue on page 22. We will be using the theme, “Building a Positive Breed Image” for the educational forum in conjunction with the annual meeting. We plan to have some wellknown industry leaders speak on this topic and its importance to the future of a breed. Notice: The annual meeting date and location have changed a bit this year. It will still be in Kansas City, but the location is the Hilton Airport Hotel, which is more convenient for those traveling from a distance. The dates are Nov. 22 & 23, 2019; the Friday and Saturday before Thanksgiving. The ASA Board of Directors felt that moving the date ahead of the holiday would help members attend. We are planning a full schedule of Association Workshops, Committee Meetings and Educational Forums for those attending and of course the Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet. Please mark this on your calendar; it is always a fun time for great Shorthorn fellowship, idea sharing and futuristic information. These are just a few activities being planned in the breed to help create a positive image of Shorthorn Cattle to the industry. Your Board of Directors and ASA staff are continually working to help add value and a positive image for the breed. This image is a direct result of every member and breeder accepting the obligation to be a responsible Shorthorn breeder! =

= President Outlook Proud and Humbled Greetings to all the Shorthorn enthusiasts reading the Country this month. It’s an honor to be able to address you from this platform as president of your association. Whether I think of the rich long history of our breed as we approach our 150th year celebration or the cutting edge technology we are using to propel our relevancy into the beef industry, I am both proud and humbled. The staff we have developed and been fortunate to have in place are taking the steps to put us in a position that we can succeed in. By developing science based programs to document, identify and promote cattle that can be maternal, grow, yield and remain docile, our cattle can demand attention and consideration in commercial beef production. Please don’t underestimate the commercial sectors need for predictable perfor-

mance and the absolute relevancy of performance data, EPDs and genomics to satisfy this need. The most recent sire test substantiated the ability of our cattle’s performance data and EPDs to predict their progeny’s performance as they grew and performed in a feed lot setting. These type of tests are absolutely what we need to support that we are the docile maternal British breed that can grade and create profit for those operations that choose Shorthorn genetics. We are rich in breeders that understand cattle breeding and selection and are willing to invest considerable time and money in improving our cattle. I personally believe we have never had so much quality in the cattle we are showing and displaying around the country. This matters and it’s important and vital to our breeds success.

fair, a field day, or a national show it is these activities that keep us on the mind and in consideration by many cattlemen considering their future purchases and decisions. Our ability to advocate for our breed and the larger agricultural industry will determine all of our future success. I ask each of you to look for commonality with other breeders. Learn from each others successes and failures and understand the application each breeder finds to cattle production. The diversity our breed has is great and is absolutely a strength that we can all share in. United and with the same goal of making better cattle and promoting the Shorthorn breed we can all find greater success. We can all take ownership and involvement in our upcoming 150th year celebration that will encompass an entire year of activities. It will include a historic book written about Shorthorn cattle, exhibits at national shows, celebrations and national advertising campaigns. It will be a very rewarding and exciting time to be involved in the Shorthorn breed. Finally I want to express my profound gratitude to all of you. Thank you to my wife Trish, daughter Gabri and son Val, that have supported the time and expense to allow me the great honor to serve as your president. It took all of us for me to have this opportunity. The kindness and character found in our breeders is unequaled in any other breed. The honesty and good will we are rich in makes all of the events and activities rewarding and enjoyable. For so many of us, the time we devote to our operations and time spent working together as a family is the most rewarding and fulfilling aspect of our lives. I know for me it most definitely is. Thank you to the great staff led by Montie Soules at the association office that work daily to ensure we have a successful, profitable, and reputable breed organization. Thank you to all the current and past board members I have had the privilege of working with; what an honor that has been for me. I look forward to meeting and visiting with more of you this fall at sales and events. Collectively, it is all off you that are members and breeders that make this breed so great and such an honor to be part of. =

“Do Your Individual Decisions Affect the Entire Breed?” Shorthorn Breed image is a frequently visited topic during our ASA committee conference calls; including the Commercial Acceptance Committee, the Genetic Evaluation Committee, the Promotion Committee and the ShorthornPlus Committee. Excellent discussions regarding ways to shine brighter lights on the breed as well as worthy ideas have developed out of those committee calls.

Montie D. asa executive Soules secretary/CEO Matt director of Woolfolk performance programs

In one committee, the discussion progressed from general ideas of what the entire Shorthorn breed could do, to a more specific path of what individuals could accomplish to improve the image of Shorthorn cattle. Some of the questions below were asked and discussed by breeders during the conference call. We were asked for our thoughts on the subject, so instead of dragging out the conference call, we put our thoughts on paper:

What do we mean by affecting the entire breed? MDS: The actions and decisions made by each member are a reflection of that individual. The same breeder actions and decisions determine how a breed is judged and perceived. One simple fact holds true for every breed: each time a breeder presents an animal in a sale or a show, or a member hosts an ag-related group, the entire breed is judged by those who see it. Their perceptions will be shared by the attending group and a breed image is formed, fair or not. We each have a responsibility to hold our breed in high regard and to expose good cattle that will be appreciated and provide a good identity and reputation for the breed and the herd.

MW: Simply put, it’s making some sort of impact on Shorthorn cattle. We’re all involved in the breed in some way, either as a breeder, marketer, employee, or just a fan of Shorthorns. We have the opportunity to set the course of where Shorthorn cattle go in the future, especially as breeders.

Why should you care about affecting the breed? MDS: The image of the breed has a direct effect on each member of the association and vice versa. The better the perception of the animals in the breed, the higher the value becomes for each breeder. When this happens, more folks want to be part of it and will join in, expanding the market and adding value. It is all relative to producing cattle with phenotype and performance regardless of your marketing goals. Bull producers and show heifer producers have similar issues. They need the industry to view our breed with respect and gain an understanding of what Shorthorns can offer them. Providing a quality product concerns everyone in the breed.

shorthorn country = july 2019

MW: By raising Shorthorn cattle, you are a part of this breed no matter if you are active in your state association or ASA. You obviously have a love and commitment to the breed to devote time and resources to raising Shorthorns. To some, you may be their only interaction with the breed. You have the opportunity to open their eyes to what Shorthorns can offer to their herds. Successful encounters can lead to future growth for Shorthorns if new breeders become more involved. Growth and enthusiasm for the breed is good for everyone involved. The current climate of the entire beef cattle industry seems to be shifting towards a need for different crossbreeding solutions to use on the blackhided cows in America’s commercial herd. If Shorthorns are going to become a part of that conversation, it will take effort from everyone pushing the breed forward.

What are the most important decisions to make in your operation to positively affect the breed? MDS: The most important decision a Shorthorn breeder will make is to always have a goal of breeding cattle that have a positive influence on our breed. Be a breed improver and contributor, not just “Be a breed improver a multiplier! Members who make the conscious decision to raise and and contributor, not just a multiplier!” produce breed improving cattle become leaders in the breed and have a positive influence on the breed image.

MW: I think there are two major decisions that have to be made at your place to make a positive impact on the breed. First, the decision has to be made to commit to breeding better cattle every year. Regardless of goals or herd size, there’s always something that you can improve in your cows. Whether it is breeding to fix a phenotypic flaw, collecting more data for your customers, or choosing to AI more cows or flush a new donor, there are always avenues that can be taken to breed a better Shorthorn. Second, you have to make the decision to stand behind the cattle that you sell and provide outstanding customer service. Service before and after the sale are vital in this business. Just like none of us want to deal with bad service at the local feed store or restaurant, we shouldn’t provide that type of service to our customers. Answering questions, working with delivery, and finding fair solutions to any issues that arise are all important to keeping a customer satisfied.

Are there short or long term consequences to not doing these things? MDS: Producing breed-improving cattle has both short-term and long-term effects. If we do not produce the kind of animal recognized as a breed and industry improver, Shorthorns will receive no attention outside of our breed. When newcomers choose to try our breed, we must ensure they receive a superior product to maintain their interest. This is true regardless of your operation or marketing strategies. It works for show heifers and bull customers. We only get one chance to make a good first impression. If their experience is not good, they may never come back, and worse yet, they likely will share their bad experience with others. The need for high quality cattle with proper performance data is essential to both long-term and short-term success. Those who are short-sighted and sell an inferior animal can have a very negative effect on the overall breed image long term!

MW: In the short term, your customers (especially repeat customers) will certainly notice if you’re not making an effort to breed better cattle with each calf crop. It was brought up during the Commercial Acceptance Committee conference call that with many commercial customers, breeds like Shorthorn usually only get one shot to impress a new buyer. If the cattle don’t do what the customer needs them to do (or what the seller claimed they could do), not only is your chance to build a relationship diminished, but also the rest of your friends in the Shorthorn breed can lose that potential customer forever. “One bad experience One bad experience with any breed with any breed of of cattle can ruin it for all breeders, cattle can ruin if for all so it’s important to raise and continually improve on your stock breeders” to satisfy the customer. Even worse, a buyer will take notice if you don’t treat them correctly if something goes awry with their purchase. Having to trade bulls or take back a heifer that won’t breed is a hassle in the short term, but I guarantee it’s less problematic than if you don’t take care of the customer. You don’t want to be the one that the cattlemen are talking poorly about at the local cafe. In the short term, you’ve likely lost that customer. The negative publicity they may give you will hurt your reputation and ability to market your cattle in the long run. Bad news always travels faster than good news, so we should all be motivated to not give customers a reason to spread bad news.

What Shorthorn breeders should be concerned with this issue? Commercial seedstock breeders? Show cattle producers? MDS: Breed image is every Shorthorn breeder and ASA member’s responsibility. This includes breeders producing bulls for the commercial industry, commercial replacements, show heifers, donor cows, herd bull producers for purebred herds, and yes even junior members. We are all graded by the outside industry continually and each breeder must produce individuals that deserve attention from the entire industry. Yes, we are all representing ourselves first, but we are also always representing the Shorthorn Breed!

MW: It should matter to every cattle producer in the United States, regardless of what type of operation you run. Every serious cattle producer and their operation has a reputation for the product they market, whether it’s their commercial calves at the sale barn, the bulls they sell, or the string of champions they exhibit. Obviously, everyone wants to be known as a reputable outfit with a quality set of cattle to offer to customers.

How do we take the next step with this idea of breed image and our effect on the breed? We’ve taken the idea of continuing to build a more positive breed image and used it as a theme for planning this year’s annual meeting. Our speaker lineup will include folks from within and outside our breed discussing topics relative to this overall goal of a positive breed image. The roles and responsibilities of all breeders will be addressed, plus the impact they can make both

shorthorn country = july 2019

positive and negative, for the breed and the individual. The speaker roster isn’t set in stone yet, but you’ll want to hear what some of these industry leaders have to say. We are reaching out to successful operators from several breeds asking them to share their goals with us at the next annual meeting on Nov. 22 & 23 in Kansas City, MO.

What Is Your Legacy? Have you ever asked yourself, “Why do you raise cattle?” Maybe more specifically, “Why do you raise Shorthorns?” Just recently, one of my urban friends asked me, “Why do you want to farm/ ranch when you can’t control the weather? Why do you want to work so hard?” It can be hard for someone to understand if they don’t share the same passion. This year has been one for the record books for cattle producers and farmers. The weather in many parts of the country has been more than challenging. Living in central Kansas, we usually have to worry more about drought than excess moisture. Unfortunately, this year the weather is just the opposite. To say the least, the flooding is causing lots of challenges. Our friends in Nebraska, Iowa, and other parts of the country have faced devastating obstacles, yet most remain committed to this life we love. They will rebuild and continue their families’ legacy with a stronger passion than ever before. No one would blame these ranchers and farmers for throwing in the towel, especially when most have spent their lifetime building an operation only to start over. Hard work and dedication are traits that serve as a foundation in the

shorthorn country = july 2019

agricultural industry. Many of us may take them for granted, but we should be proud of the work and commitment we put into our operation on a daily basis. I hope the population in urban settings have seen how the agricultural community comes together to help one another. Loads of hay have been donated, as well as fencing supplies, labor and household supplies to aid fellow producers they have never met. To someone not involved in Ag, it may be hard for them to understand the common bond that runs deep in this industry. Not to mention, the passion and tenacity that it requires to rebuild after facing devastation. All of these events have caused me to do a lot of thinking. As I reflect on the Shorthorn breed and my family, I feel fortunate to be involved in this industry even with all of the challenges we face. My husband, Ryan, and I have two children, Josie (9) and Ryder (7). We couldn’t imagine raising them any other way. We are grateful to raise a breed of cattle where the friends we make are like family. As I write this, we are only a month away from the National Junior Shorthorn Show. Growing up, the week spent with kids across the nation showing my

Nancy ASA Grathwohl-Heter vice-president

cattle and participating in contests was my favorite time of year. This was due to the great people involved in our breed and the outstanding junior program; both of which hold true today. I am excited that my kids are sharing the same experiences I did growing up all while developing their love for cattle. Now, as a breeder, one of the things I enjoy most is visiting with other breeders and learning about their operations. Living in different states and environments, we may have different individual goals but we all share a passion and want to make the Shorthorn breed better. I believe the diversity of our breed is one of our greatest strengths. There are so many things we can learn from each other. Our greatest resource is our network of breeders. I will never grow tired of hearing stories about the great Shorthorn cattle from the past and the present. I remember listening to my dad and Lawrence telling stories about our cattle growing up, and I miss those two now more than ever. As I think about my family and our legacy, I am proud that it lies in the Shorthorn breed. All the more, I am excited for the future. =

STEPPING STONE RANCH PEARSON AND BUSSE By Pat Schiefen Shirley Pearson and her husband Ron Busse are enjoying following their passion of raising Shorthorn cattle and its more enjoyable since their retirement from their jobs. Shirley was as a nurse for 46 years and Ron was a postal rural route carrier for almost 30 years. He said, “Raising cattle is a full time job everyday.” The couple have Shirley with calf. carefully bred their herd to be docile and easy calving with a high quality carcass. They raise their cattle on pastures only supplementing their show cattle. Currently they have around 60 cows with the total herd being around 80, counting replacement heifers and bulls.

Feed Efficiency: Making Cows Pay Their Way I don’t think it’s a secret that I’m a “numbers guy”. You don’t develop my love for baseball or take a job like this one without getting some enjoyment out of figures and statistics. This article is one where I spent as much time using the calculator as I did the keyboard to get to the end product. With feed efficiency being a hot topic in our industry, I wondered if there was anything to gather from looking at the data we have in our system to study the trait. Discussion of feed efficiency usually focuses on a feedlot situation. After all, measurements of feed intake are measured at a feed bunk. Most of the data collected in the Shorthorn database is on feeder cattle, largely from the National Sire Test (NST), as well as bulls that were sold into commercial cattle operations. The data helps us identify bloodlines to potentially improve efficiency. However, efficiency of the cow in production has a valuable impact on the bottom line. Cow feed costs are one of the largest expenses in most enterprises. Identifying females that can adequately perform on less input can decrease feed costs down and increase profit potential over their lifetime. Looking at the data from the NST at the University of Illinois, there is significant variation in levels of intake. Within the set of over 140 head on feed in the NST, daily dry matter intake (DMI) ranged from 13.06 lb to 23.62 lb per day, with the group average being 18.62 lb. With the calves on feed for over 6 months, the difference in dry matter consumed from the calf that ate the most to the calf that ate the least is about one ton of dry matter. Based off cost estimates for the diet fed to the NST cattle, there is a difference of $90-100 in feed costs between the animal with the highest and the lowest intake. Those cattle on the high end of the intake spectrum were

doing a good job of literally eating away the profit margin. To analyze further, I divided the NST cattle by sex and then ranked them for DMI. I won’t bore you with all the numbers crunched here, but I think a couple highlights are worth exploring further. When comparing the 18 heifers that ate the least (Top 25%, Low DMI) to the 18 heifers that ate the most (Bottom 25%, High DMI), differences in feed costs were $39.63/head over the NST feeding period; which was the stage of life from weaning to yearling. Suppose we were able to keep these females in production, and the cost differences for feed stayed stable throughout their lives. By the time they have a calf, that’s a cumulative $120 gap in feed expense. When they turn 5, it’s grown to $440. And for the lucky girls who make it to be 10 year olds? There’s over $800 difference in feed to maintain them in your operation. At weaned feeder calf prices, a High DMI cow has to produce the equivalent of an extra calf over her lifetime to make up the difference from her low-intake counterparts. Feed intake shouldn’t be the sole determining factor in selection. After all, a lot of cattle that don’t eat much don’t grow much either! Measuring individual feed intakes allows us to identify the ones who have a better growth rate than their intake suggests, thus doing more work with less groceries. In the NST data, there is a heifer, 380E, who is in the top 25 for Low DMI. She ate 102 lb less than the average of the heifer group, while gaining 126 lb MORE than average. Identifying cattle that perform like 380E, and then breeding more of them, is worthwhile to a seedstock producer. Likewise, finding the freeloaders who eat too much and don’t gain enough to earn their keep might be even more meaningful! Opportunities such as the heifer

feed efficiency project that ASA has partnered on with Iowa State University give breeders the chance to measure these traits on replacement females and document their genetics. It’s harder to manage what isn’t measured, and making improvements is difficult without data. Whatever the trait of importance, there must be information available to make educated selections, and selecting for more feed efficient cattle is no different. While it is still in its infancy, all data of this nature that is collected will go into the IGS data bank for the eventual development of an EPD to give us another genetic tool to aid in selection for traits of interest. All cattlemen are trying to breed better cattle to fit their market, regardless of breed, color, or marketing strategy. Evaluating your genetics for efficiency is another avenue in which cattle can be improved. Personally, I don’t believe there’s a magic number for DMI that makes the perfect cow, or the ideal ratio of feed consumed to pounds gained to turn a profit. Finding only the animals that eat the least amount can be a slippery slope as well, as other species that have made selections along these lines did not reach the end goals they desired. It’s a balancing act between minimizing inputs (feed) while still maintaining sufficient outputs (growth).To close with a non-cattle example, think about buying your next farm truck. Do you make your choice on which model has the smallest fuel tank? Likely not. You analyze for what you need your truck to do on the farm, find the one that fits all your performance needs, then you can look at which model does it all with the best fuel economy. Like that truck sitting in the barnyard, your efficient, performing brood cows will pay for themselves in the long run if they’re working right. =

Always Show Your Values As agriculturalists, we live in a world that is surrounded by technology that continues to become more common and advanced. We use it on the farm for crops and cattle to make improvements. Many times, technology provides a positive outcome for the industry but sometimes, it shows the negative parts of the industry as well. By now, many of you have seen the backlash Fair Oaks Farms – a dairy and agritourism destination in Indiana – has received due to a video that was released on June 4 by Animal Recovery Mission (ARM). Fair Oaks Farms produces the FairLife milk brand that is distributed by Coca-Cola.

The video released by ARM showed employees of Fair Oaks Farms abusing animals while working on a dairy owned by the company. ARM employees had gone undercover at the farm to find this footage. Fair Oaks Farm issued a statement after the video release expressing their disappointment in their employees. They did state that some of the employees had already been fired before the release of the video due to other employees witnessing their abuse and reporting them to management. The video released by ARM has been viewed 7.4 million times on the video site it was originally posted and been shared over 19,000 times on Facebook. This doesn’t include news media that has shared the video. Since it was released, I have seen it on my Facebook feed being shared by people who support Fair Oaks Farms and the statements they have made about the care and safety of all animals. I have also seen posts shared that are negative towards the farm because of the video. This is one of the many

instances that media has shown the negative parts of the industry. It is important to remember as farmers and ranchers that there are always people watching what we are doing with our animals. The decisions we make impact the industry as a whole. One instance of animal abuse by a family member or an employee could affect your entire operation, the breed and the industry. People outside of the industry do not understand the day-to-day tasks we have while raising cattle. They don’t understand our love for our cattle and desire to treat them with care. It is our job to make sure they understand the values we have as cattle producers to care for our animals. Montie and Matt have talked about the decisions ASA members make and how they affect the Shorthorn breed. Your decisions as cattle producers also affect the entire beef industry. Remember, people outside of the industry are watching your actions. It is very easy to take a video on a phone and post it on social media within seconds. Be aware of your surroundings and be sure that your employees share the same values as you. In a world that has technology everywhere with the ability to share instantly, be sure to have a goal of being the most responsible producer you can to provide the best image of the industry to those not involved. Don’t let the ease of technology cast negativity on the industry we love. =

Although for the Parnells, either, who raised he didn’t initially show their children, James Robert and Shorthorns, James Robert Anna Grace, to enjoy farming — was steered that direction at and taught them life lessons in the age 12. cattle barn. “I told Dad that everyone “Some families play ball showed black cattle, and I together or do other sports, wanted to show something but my kids showed calves, and Robin and Jimmy different,” said James Robert, that was something we all did Parnell on their farm now 26. “James Shropshire in Stanton, Al abama had one red Shorthorn heifer together,” said Jimmy, 54, a fifthgeneration farmer whose family owns at their spring club calf sale.

and a commercial cow herd. That’s in addition to 2,000 head of stockers, a number James Robert is working to increase since returning to the farm five years ago with an agricultural economics degree. Jimmy earned the same Auburn University degree in 1985 during the farm crisis. “I don’t know James Robert Parnell of anyone I was in agricultural economics with at Auburn who went back to the farm except me,” Parnell said. “Our family was a little different because we were diversified. Forestry, perhaps, wasn’t as impacted as row crop farming. When I got back to the farm, I realized what

looked bad was actually an opportunity. We were able to buy land at a really good price, which laid the groundwork for our family’s future.” Patriarch James H. Parnell started the family business in 1960. Jimmy played a key role in day-to-day operations until 2012, when he was elected president of the Alabama Farmers Federation, the state’s largest farm organization serving 335,000 members. He’s also president of Alfa Insurance, and its affiliates, which provides insurance to about 1 million customers in 11 states. Today, Jimmy’s brothers, Jeff and Joseph, manage Parnell Inc.’s logging division, which cuts timber in a 50-mile radius of its Maplesville headquarters. Crews daily produce 100 loads of wood and cut between 40-80 acres of timber. “On weekends and when I’m off, I want to be working cows or doing something on the farm,” Jimmy said. “I’m still involved in decision-making but not as much on a daily basis.” Managing the cattle farm is in James Robert’s wheelhouse. He’s implementing

techniques to improve the farm, like raising corn for silage to feed cattle — and breeding commercial cows with Shorthorn bulls. “We like what Shorthorn contributes to our crossbred cattle,” he said. “We get really good carcass traits and docility. Since we have stocker cattle, too, we retain ownership of those Shorthorninfluenced calves and have seen that they perform really well. Most people view Shorthorns as a novelty breed, but we like practical cattle and wouldn’t keep them if they weren’t.” It’s a message James Robert is spreading as vice chair of the National Shorthorn Commercial Acceptance Committee. “We’re trying to inform commercial bull buyers that Shorthorns have a lot to bring to the table and can do as good or better than what they have now,” he said. Back in the show ring, 21-year-old Anna Grace wrapped up her junior career in June. Showing Shorthorn cattle was a natural fit for the recent Oklahoma State University (OSU) graduate in animal science-business, who entered the

arena as James Robert began focusing on Shorthorns. “My favorite thing about showing Shorthorns has been the lifelong friends I’ve made, influential people I’ve met and the opportunities this industry has given me,” said Anna Grace, who also traveled with OSU’s livestock judging team. James Robert said Shorthorns are an uncommon sight in the South, mostly due to the heat, but they’ve sold cattle around the U.S., from South Dakota to Oklahoma to Florida. Since Shorthorns are a smaller breed compared to Hereford or Angus, breeders are close-knit and personable, he added. “We travel, help families and advise on daily care,” he said. “We’re with them every step of the way.” From the show ring to the sale barn, James Robert said agriculture is the most rewarding work he can imagine. “You see results of your labor from day to day,” he said. “Whether you go pull a calf in the middle of the night, see them win a banner or ship them to a feed yard, it’s empowering.”

And although James Robert and Anna Grace still travel to national open shows, the family says their most meaningful banners were earned a little closer to home. “We won Supreme Champion Heifer at the Junior Beef Expo in Montgomery (Alabama’s capital) twice with a Shorthorn,” James Robert said. “That

Frequently Asked Questions for Shows, DNA & Registrations

Heather director of customer Lange service, registrations & DNA

Emily director of events, Velisek shows & membership activities

Question

Answer

Do you need the “x, *, s, S” that is in front of the Registration numbers when entering a show?

No, when you are entering any show you do not need those. For purebred animals all you will need is the numbers from the registration number, (example: 4158319). For ShorthornPlus animals you will need to include the “AR” that is directly in front of the registration number, (example: AR4158319).

What percentage do ShorthornPlus animals need to be to show at a National Show?

ShorthornPlus animals must be 50% in order to show at any National Shorthorn Show, i.e. KILE, American Royal, NAILE, NWSS and FWSS. If your animal is not 50%, they will not be allowed to show.

Who does the stalling?

It depends on the show. At KILE, they do the stalling. At American Royal & NAILE, ASA does the stalling. At NWSS, they do the stalling through a barn boss. At FWSS, the superintendent for each breed at the show does the stalling.

Do we need the original registration papers for check-in?

The answer to this is that it really depends on the show. For the open shows at the majority of the National shows, ASA will accept any form of the registration; that includes digital or paper. At FWSS, they do require you have a hard copy of the registration; however digital beef allows you to print your own and they will accept those. The junior shows are the ones that require the hard copies of the registration papers. That is why it is stated in most premium books to have a hard copy.

When DNA testing my cattle, do I send the samples directly to the lab?

No, you send the samples to our office in Kansas City along with the completed DNA submission form (available on shorthorn.org).

Can I test my animal if it isn’t registered?

Yes, just be sure to include the tattoo or ID number for differentiation. If you’ve started a registration in Digital Beef, be sure to check the “Pending Registration?” box on the DNA submission form.

What is the best way to test my animals?

The lab prefers either a blood card or TSU sample. They still accept hair, but it has a higher likelihood of needing a retest. There is also a $2 upcharge for hair samples. Be sure to submit hair samples on a hair card- not in a baggie.

I have an ET calf to register, but I’ve never done it before. What is different about ET calves vs. naturally bred or AI calves?

ET calves require that both the Donor Dam and Sire have all genetic testing (TH, PHA, DS AND Parentage) on file. If either of the parents are missing any of these pieces, the ET calf can be tested for that (or those) missing tests. You might need an AI certificate on the Sire, if he is still a certificate bull.

How do I add breeding information when transferring a bred animal?

When on the “Animal Transfer Entry Form” you will complete the regular transfer and then in the bottom right corner of the box, as long as the animal is old enough to be bred it will say “Enter/Verify Breeding”. Once you have clicked on that it will come up with “Breeding/Exposure Information,” in this box you can put multiple bulls for if you AI’ed the female and then exposed her. You will need to know the bull’s registration number and the dates of AI or exposure to the female. Once you have completed that information you will “Validate” the rows you used and continue with the transfer process. =

New WHR Non-Assessed Cow Ruling Effective Jan. 1, 2019 WHR Breeders: as of January 1, 2019, penalties will be added to WHR breeder registrations for calves born to dams not assessed in the year the calf was born.

Registration fees of calves born to unassessed dams from previously closed assessment years: • under 12 months of age - $75 • 12-24 months - $95 • over 24 months - $135 *This applies only to animals registered to a dam which was not assessed in the year the calf was born.

the Shorthorn Junior Board are ending and it is very bittersweet for me! I’ve got to work with and meet so many great people and I look forward to maintaining those relationships for many, many years. I’ve been going to junior nationals since 2012, and trust me I don’t plan on stopping soon. As I transition from my junior years to growing up, I will always keep Shorthorns a part of my life. Thank you to everyone who believes in this breed and thank you to all the family, friends, fellow board members, and staff for making my time as a junior incredible. I look forward to seeing everyone in Louisville, Denver, and especially next summer in Texas! =

= Tartan Plaid Why Would You Want to be a Lassie Queen? You have seen the ladies in plaid in all the pictures and watched them lead the classes in at Denver, Junior Nationals

shorthorn country = july 2019

and Louisville. Why would you want to be a National Lassie Queen? It is so much more.

Sommer National Shorthorn Smith Lassie Board Member

If you ask the past queens, you will get various answers depending on their personal situation. However, there is a common thread. “It was a fabulous experience”. “I met so many people”. “I had the opportunity to travel”. The opportunity to be a national representative for our breed is a special experience. The Lassie outfit alone is a fabulous conversation starter wherever you go; especially elevators! Many have heard of an elevator speech, 1530 seconds to get your point across. A Lassie queen has ample opportunity to give that elevator speech to promote not only the beef industry, but specifically the Shorthorn industry. A Lassie queen is whatever you want it to be. Some queens take the opportunity to see the country and visit as many breeders as possible through different events. Other queens use the experience to focus on the larger events they may or may not have attended previously. Many of the queens have used the networking to extend their education and career goals. The ladies in plaid are so much more. Younger kids, not only little girls, look up to them as a role model in costume and out of costume. There is something about a crown that draws in the human experience and being able to relate to that individual on some level can be life changing. The queens often work on philanthropic projects which may or may not have anything to do with cattle or kids, but it gives them the chance to further their influence as representative of the breed, industry and ag community. So why would you want to be a Lassie Queen? =

2019 Shorthorn World Tour Australia will host the 2019 World Shorthorn Congress in September, with the tour and conference itinerary designed to provide the trip of a lifetime for International Shorthorn enthusiasts. The tour will commence 24th September in Adelaide, South Australia and conclude in Sydney, New South Wales with a dinner tour of the famous Sydney Harbour on October 10th. Along the way, participants will visit 20 Shorthorn herds, both stud and commercial, across a variety of different environments. On 29th September, visitors will stay in Melbourne, Victoria for the Shorthorn judging at the prestigious Royal Melbourne Show. Traveling North, visitors will be given a tour of the JBS Australia Feedlot, Prime City, a 35,000 head feedlot and farm, featuring state-of-the-art infrastructure and feeding systems. Prime City is one of two key feedlots feeding Shorthorn cattle for the JBS Australia Thousand Guineas Shorthorn breed brand. The following two days, visitors will be able to attend the 2019 World Shorthorn Congress Conference. The 2019 World Shorthorn Congress Conference will be held on the campus of Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, NSW. The two day event will feature key guest speakers along with Shorthorn Association country reports, a wonderful dinner menu featuring Shorthorn beef and local Australian wines and produce. The dinner will conclude with the Ruby & Roan International Genetics Auction. Attendees will hear from guest speakers including, • Lisa Sharp – Chief Marketing Officer, Meat & Livestock Australia to discuss the role of the Australian Beef industry in the global beef market. • Leading Australian Chef to discuss Thousand Guineas Shorthorn Beef and the key requirements of Australian Chefs and consumers.
