he Herd Book issue is a good time to reflect on the many changes, activities and improvements in our breed over the past year. A major activity that excited membership was Impact 2015. Attendance was outstanding, the message was clear and membership accepted it with open arms. The “Shorthorn Impact Initiative” to the left is the direct result of evaluating the information gathered at Impact 2015 and is providing a direction for our breed. Impact 2015 was the culmination of the Board’s goal to re-Brand the breed. Many new rules and changes went into effect on January 1, 2016. I knew there would be concerns and a period of learning and adjustment for members, but the stats to the left reveal how the breed is thriving after implementing these changes. Membership now includes a subscription to Shorthorn Country and the WHR program was revised for implication on January 1, 2016. A new website and new registry came on board July 1, 2015, providing ASA membership more information and access to manage their cow herds and animals online. Another major change was moving the ASA office to Kansas City last fall. In many ways this 2016 Herd Book edition reflects how all these implications have affected the Association and the breed. Look at the stats to the left illustrating how the activities to date compare to last year at this time. The ASA Board and staff review this information monthly to examine the effects of the changes and determine if any adjustments are warranted. These numbers are pretty amazing. The figures indicate that there is a new surge of interest in our breed. Membership, as well as the ASA Board and Staff should be very proud of these accomplishments. =

What To Expect From Genomic Testing: Part 2…The Math Since I know some of you check the website hourly when new EPDs are scheduled to come out, I’m sure it feels like you have been clicking “Refresh” for a decade waiting for genomics in the Shorthorn breed….because you have! It seems breeders have been kicking and screaming from both directions, some breeders still feel all this high-tech stuff just isn’t for them. Others have been begging for it without really knowing what it is or if it could help them. From my perspective, the level of excitement for genomics should equal the feeling most breeders get when they open the mailbox to find the annual Herd Bull Issue! But in reality, we are just tearing the plastic off what this technology can do for beef production moving forward. The #1 reason we have been waiting so long for genomic-enhanced EPDs is the massive overhaul taking place to the computer software that generates them. International Genetic Solutions (IGS) is the collaborative multi-breed effort aimed at bringing genomic-enhanced EPDs to all of the participating breeds in the evaluation. The overhaul will help simplify the process and enhance the accuracy of the genomic tests and subsequent EPDs for everybody. As you can imagine, getting breed associations to agree on anything is difficult given our competitive nature. Overhaul an entire EPD system and incorporate genomics for 12 breed associations that are all at different stages in their path to validation...and you’ve done something! Hopefully, this perspective helps you understand the extended timeline required to get it right. In theory, the American Shorthorn Association (ASA) could have wrote a check and demanded genomicenhanced EPDs about a year ago. These would have been generated using what’s known as the “blending method” to enhance an EPD based on genomic

markers after the genetic evaluation had been completed. The problem: their accuracy would have been questioned and their usefulness obsolete in about 12 months. Basically, breeders would have seen an entirely new set of EPDs on an animal with no additional information going in to the system. As always, some animals will get better, some worse. Instead, the ASA exercised caution and decided to wait for the “new math” to be applied and the new software to be completed. Across the industry, the new math I speak of is being referred to as the “One Step” method. As the name implies, everything happens at once in these equations for calculating EPDs. Under the current “old” system, most breeds only released EPDs twice per year. Since genomic tests can be collected every day, breed associations largely “blended” the genomic information into the current EPDs and adjusted the numbers. This method prevented instances where breeders would have to wait up to 6 months for the results of their expensive genomic test to impact EPDs. The other option was to run the genetic evaluation more often, which costs money and additional staff time to complete. The “One Step” method essentially does both for all 12 breeds in the evaluation. Current plans are to run the evaluation weekly, working with database managers and programmers at the respective breeds to allow them to input new data as they see fit. Some breeds will choose to update more often than others. Keep in mind, a genetic evaluation never gets smaller; new data is added to the system, but the old is not taken out! As with any other new program, there will be hiccups, setbacks, updates, and changes. Likewise, the ability of genomics will continually evolve and gain steam. The most important thing

to remember about genomic technology moving forward is that any animal with a 50K DNA test (or higher) will NOT need to be retested! As long as breeders continue to diligently collect performance data, the 50K test will continue to gain more power without retesting any previous individuals. Also, as a member of the IGS multi-breed system, we may potentially capitalize on DNA markers that work across breeds. Things like disease resistance, environmental tolerance, and feed efficiency are major areas of research that may be useful to all breeds. All said, Genomic-Enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs) will hopefully be available on Shorthorn cattle this fall! Deadlines are fluid, but the migration to the new system will happen soon. There will be an indication on the website that genomic enhancement has occurred on an individual. However, unlike previous versions of DNA incorporation, this genomic data will not only impact the individual, but also half sibs, sire, dam, grandsire, etc. Though the influence is currently unknown, we can assume that some traits will see significant change and an increase in accuracy; other traits may not change at all. As revalidation and updates to the genomic tests occurs, some minor changes may be noticed online from tested individuals. However, please remember that reporting performance data on progeny and relatives will ultimately have greater influence on EPDs than genomics alone can ever achieve. A “proven” bull will still require hundreds of progeny records; genomics may be the tool that tells you to use him before he’s a five year-old. =

=Builders Of The Breed

Penny, Caleb, Seth & Courtney Vance, the late Perry Vance and Bill & Jane Hale

Hale Farms Charolette, Michigan

Hale Farms has played an active role in their community of Eaton County. They have been very active in the 4-H program. Bill Hale started the involvement by being the Superintendent of Beef for the Eaton County 4-H Fair and a 4-H leader. As superintendent his first priority was always to ensure that 4-her’s were having fun and learning more about the beef industry. The involvement as leaders continued as Perry and Penny Vance were the leaders of the Barnstormers 4-H club for 23 years. Besides working within the 4-H club they would hold county-wide fitting demonstrations and showmanship clinics and go to different 4-H clubs in Eaton County to help them too. Their children Caleb and Seth both have had a strong involvement in 4-H as they were both president of the 4-H clubs they belonged to and Caleb also served as President of the Eaton County 4-H Jr. Livestock Association. For Caleb and Seth their community involvement went beyond 4-H as they were both active in Charlotte’s FFA Chapter. One of the main goals of Hale Farms has always been to help youth so that their love and knowledge of the cattle industry and the Shorthorn breed could be passed on to the future generation. Hale Farms has been very active in the Shorthorn breed at a state and national level. They have played an active role in the state association, junior association, and Lassie association. As a family, everyone has taken a variety of different roles in the Shorthorn Association. Bill, Penny, and Caleb have all served for a combined more than 50 years on the Michigan Shorthorn Breeders Association board. Bill and Penny both served as the President of the association and Caleb as vice president. However, their involvement goes beyond just the state association. Both times Michigan hosted the National Junior Shorthorn Show, 1999 and 2010, the whole family played a pivotal role and jumped right in to help make the national a success. In 1999 Caleb, as a junior member, was the Executive President of the planning committee and made the pitch to obtain the right for Michigan to host. Then Bill, Jane, Penny, Perry, and Seth all actively helped with various tasks to ensure the show’s success. The 2010 show was no different and the whole family jumped in once again. Jane and Penny have both also been very active in the National and Michigan Lassie Association where they both have been members for 40 plus years. They have even passed their dedication to the Lassie Association on to Penny’s daughter-in-law, Courtney Vance, as she too is a member and currently serves as the President of the Michigan Lassie Association. Penny was Michigan’s Lassie Queen in 1969-1970 and competed for the National Shorthorn Lassie Queen. In addition, Jane

shorthorn country = july 2016

was named the Lassie of the Year in 1999. Everyone at Hale Farms is proudest of the work they have done with the junior program. Hale Farms has always strived to put the junior members first and have worked to build the confidence and love for the Shorthorn breed with youth. For many years, Perry and Penny dedicated themselves to the Michigan Junior Shorthorn Association (MJSA). This dedication to the junior member was passed down from Penny’s father Bill. Bill always worked to put the junior members first and would go out of his way to help a junior in need. This is still true today with Penny, Caleb, Seth and Courtney, if a junior member needs something, all they have to do is ask and the family will come and help. Perry and Penny served as Michigan’s advisor for 25 plus years and both Caleb and Seth were on the Michigan Junior Shorthorn Association Board. In recent years, Hale Farms decided to redirect their fundraising efforts and have started a scholarship fund, Hale Farms and Friends Scholarship. It’s funded from the proceeds raised from the annual Hale Farms Junior Auction and they award several types of scholarships each year. Deserving youth are either given college scholarships for attending school or awarded money to help fund their trip to Junior Nationals or KEY Conference. Most recently the scholarship fund has been funded by donations that have been made in Perry’s honor, as after his passing in January the family asked in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Hale Farms and Friend Scholarship fund. Hale Farms is a fourth generation operation that was started by Claude Hale in the early 1800's. Later the farm was taken over by Claude's son Bill, his wife Jane and children Mark, Penny, and Lora. The first Shorthorn bull was brought to the farm for commercial use in 1936 and purebred cows and calves were purchased in 1943. At one time, the herd consisted of more than 120 brood cows. The herd today the farm maintains approximately 30 cows, which have been selected based on soundness, functionality, longevity, and bred to produce on the farm in Charlotte, Mich. Penny Vance, Bill's daughter, along with her late husband Perry and sons Caleb and Seth, and his wife Courtney, have operated the farm since Bill’s passing in 2008. Over the year’s Hale Farms has produced numerous champion heifers and bulls at a variety of shows. The vision of Hale Farms has always been to grow the breed by helping junior members’ succeed so they can be the next generation of Shorthorn breeders. The family also continues to focus on breeding a cowherd that is based on pride, performance, and predictability.

Scott Horton & Family Horton Farms Shorthorns St. Charles, Illinois Horton Farms Shorthorns is a family operation located in Northern Illinois, approximately 40 miles west of Chicago in St. Charles, and consists of approximately 55 Shorthorn cows and seven Shorthorn bulls. The farm has 55 acres of pasture and rents 150 acres of hay and crop ground. Horton Farms Shorthorns started in 1992 when Scott Horton purchased seven bred Shorthorn cows from Bob Raisbeck of Hi-View Farms in Lancaster, Wis. Scott grew the herd using CF Trump, WHR Sonny, and HS Rodeo Drive Bulls. With this breeding, Scott was able to grow the herd to 25 cows by 2000. In 2002, Horton Farms Shorthorns hired Ryan Wernicke as the Herdsman. It was during this time that the Horton Family which includes Scott who is the founder and co-owner of Campton Construction, an excavating company in the St. Charles area; Scott’s wife Michele who is a dentist in St. Charles, and their three daughters; Stephanie, Katie Cassady, and Leah, began showing Shorthorn cows on a local, state, and national level. They also began selling breeding stock around the country. The family’s first trip to the National Junior Shorthorn Show and Youth Conference was in 2004 in Sioux Falls, SD. During that trip Stephanie won the Division Three Reserve Bred and Owned Heifer with HFS Duchess Kool Lady and from then on the entire family was hooked on showing Shorthorns. Since then they have traveled the country showing successfully at the state and national level. Highlights over the years have including Leah winning the National Junior Shorthorn Show Grand Champion Purebred Cow/Calf Pair in 2013 and 2014. In 2013 the winner was NPS Irish Rose and the sire to the calf was Lorenz Big Daddy Jazz. In 2014 the winner was Wernacres Duchess and the sire to the calf was MAV Bellringer. These back-to-back wins were especially exciting to the Horton Family knowing that two entirely different bloodlines raised on their farm were worthy of a national title. On a more personal level the wins were also meaningful. The 2013 win was important because the Lorenz Big Daddy Jazz sire was a bull raised by the Lorenz Family of Grant Park, Ill., whose family has been showing Shorthorns beside the Horton Family for many years. The 2014 win was momentous because the cow was from the same Duchess cow family that Stephanie won with during the family’s first National

Junior Shorthorn Show in Sioux City. Some of the other accomplishments Horton Farms Shorthorns is especially proud of include; winning the Champion Pen of Three Heifers in the Shorthorn Pen Show at the 2016 National Western Stock Show in Denver; being honored as the Illinois State Fair Premiere Herdsman Polled Shorthorn Award 2013; Stephanie serving as the National Lassie Queen 2009-2010 and the Illinois Lassie Queen 2008-2009; Katie winning the Illinois State Fair Supreme Cow/Calf Pair in 2006 with Wernacres Duchess 605 and the Illinois State Fair Grand Champion Shorthorn Heifer in 2005 with Wernacres Duchess 605; Leah winning the Illinois State Fair Grand Champion Land of Lincoln Polled Shorthorn Heifer in 2012 with HFS Roxi, the Kane County Fair Supreme Champion Heifer in 2013 with HFS Duchess, and the Illinois State Fair Champion Shorthorn Heifer 2007 with another HFS Roxi. When Katie won the 2005 Illinois State Fair Grand Champion Shorthorn Heifer and the 2006 Illinois State Fair Supreme Cow/Calf pair with the same female this was the first time in the history of the Illinois State Fair that the Grand Champion Shorthorn Heifer returned with her first calf to win Supreme Cow/Calf Pair. Horton Farms Shorthorns sell show and breeding heifers, bulls, and steers locally and across the country. They promote the Shorthorn breed and beef locally and nationally. On the local level they are the only purebred Shorthorn breeders in Kane County, Ill. They provide beef to a local restaurant named “The Office.” The Office promotes this Shorthorn beef as locally grown and calls in the “Boss Burger.” When Scott is eating in the restaurant it has been said that “The Boss is in the House.” It is not just the winnings that have made the Horton’s journey successful, it has been the time they have spent together as a family meeting new friends from around the country. The entire family enjoys having an extended Shorthorn family. During their years as Shorthorn breeders the family has tried to work with breeders from across the country and Canada to try and improve the genetics of the herd. They feel it is important that all the Shorthorn breeders in the American Shorthorn Association work with different bloodlines because that is what will keep the Shorthorn breed strong.

Dedmon Shorthorns:

Kris, Kevin, Rodney and Roy Dedmon three generations of Shorthorn breeders.

Dedicated to the Shorthorn Breed by Jennie Rucker The Dedmon Family of Shelby, North Carolina is dedicated to Shorthorn cattle and have been for three generations. Roy Dedmon first raised cotton on the family farm, plowing the ground behind a mule, but he chuckles as he says, “the boll weevil got us out of that business.” Then the land went into grass production for a cattle operation. Roy gradually went from commercial cattle to a herd of Shorthorn simply because he really likes them. His son, Rodney praises the Shorthorn breed for “growing off good calves and milking well on forages. Shorthorn are also gentle cattle with a breed association full of good people.” The Dedmons have been members of the American Shorthorn Association since Roy joined in 1952. Now the third generation of Rodney’s sons, Kevin and Kris, are involved in Shorthorn production just like their

father and grandfather. The Dedmons registered their cattle The Dedmon Shorthorn cattle graze under the prefix of DF, which stood for fescue pastures that are overseeded with Dedmon Farm, however years ago the ryegrass in the fall. Rodney utilizes American Shorthorn Association rotational grazing to get the most out decided to sell prefixes on a first-come of his land. This farm has been in the basis.

Before they took possession of him, they shipped Gold Eagle to ArSuLu Shorthorn to be shown by the Bakenhus Family. DF Gold Eagle 0019 was the Nebraska State Fair Grand Champion Shorthorn and the Senior Calf Champion at Louisville in 2001. Then Gold Eagle made his way to Shadybrook Farm just before they closed the Canadian border to cattle due to the threat of mad cow disease. Shadybrook used him extensively and have many Gold Eagle daughters in their herd. Shadybrook sold Gold Eagle at one of their production sales and he was purchased by another Canadian Shorthorn producer, Hill Haven. Hill Haven used Gold Eagle heavily and he is actually more popular now than 16 years ago. It is no wonder that Rodney is proud of this bull that has made an impact in both the United States and Canada. Talking about these bulls is easy for Rodney but this humble man never mentioned an important fact until son Kevin said, “Did Dad

Shelby director of marketing Rogers and communications

National Junior Hereford Association director from 2011-2014 where I served as the fundraising chair and leadership chair. As a director I helped plan the Junior National Hereford Exposition every step of the way from sponsors to contest judges and everything in between. My favorite part of serving on the Hereford board was being a role model to the younger members. I graduated this spring from Oklahoma State University with a bachelor of science degree in agricultural communications and animal science with a minor in agricultural business and economics. While at OSU I was a member of the Oklahoma Collegiate Cattlewomen, Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow, and I was on the staff of the Cowboy Journal magazine. I was also a McKnight Leader Scholar because of my previous leadership experiences. During college I held multiple internships that prepared me for this job. One specific position was the marketing and communications internship for Accelerated Genetics in Baraboo, Wisconsin. I designed advertisements, photographed farms, and wrote press releases. The internship gave me new experiences working with dairy cattle and different breeds of beef cattle. I also had a social media internship one summer and she handled social media planning for many different companies. My passion for the cattle industry and experience of the years makes me very excited for my position as the director of marketing and communications at the American Shorthorn Association. I look forward to growing the promotion of the Shorthorn breed through social media and print as well as bringing in new ideas for the rebranding of the breed. =

As many of you have heard I have accepted a new position and have made the decision to step away from the American Shorthorn Association. It’s hard to believe I have called the association home

for over six years, I guess time does fly when you are having fun! I will be honest I’m not even sure where to start and I’m sorry if this turns into a rambling mess by the end. The first thing that comes to mind is Thank You. Thank you to a great group of breeders I was fortunate enough to work

Jake director of Alden member services

with on a day to day basis. It has been an enjoyable, sometimes challenging but rewarding experience serving the Shorthorn membership. I have been fortunate to make a lifetime of memories and friendships to take with me. A lot has changed in my time with the ASA not just a new address and building. Some of the changes have been difficult and probably not very popular with some, but I know they will strengthen and position the breed for continued growth down the road. I can genuinely say I’ve never been more excited about the Shorthorn breed than I am at this time. Without a doubt breeders are answering the call to make better, more predictable user-friendly cattle that offer more calving ease and growth while not sacrificing the phenotypic traits that make this breed popular. I have been fortunate to have been able to travel across the nation to meet with breeders and view their cattle. One thing that remained consistent at every stop along the way was the passion that runs deep for the Shorthorn breed as many of these families were one of many in a long line of Shorthorn breeders. I think the passion and family oriented atmosphere is something the breed should be proud of and will undoubtedly attract more and more people in the future. In closing this isn’t a good-bye, but instead it’s see you later. My love for the breed runs deep like many of you, for me I can’t imagine anything other than a Shorthorn roaming my pastures. Best of luck to each of you in the future and keep up the good work! =

The tools for quality control may be a little different on each cattle operation when it comes to cattle produced from genetic mating decisions, with a certain endpoint in mind.

=Vice Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outlook THRIVE NOT JUST SURVIVE The era for the Shorthorn breed to Thrive and not just Survive, has come. Back in the 1930's and 1940's we were a breed that was thriving. Then things changed and we assumed a surviving mode. But the time has come to resume that Thriving status. The recent American Shorthorn Association Impact Conference laid the ground work for what we as a board and as individual breeders need to be about so that we can be in that Growth mode and escape the survival mode. The board of directors for the American Shorthorn Association felt like we needed to be in a reviving mode and so several changes have been instituted to move us into the Thriving mode: 1. New CEO and many new staff members 2. New office in a city where other breeds are situated 3. New Online Breed Registry 4. New Logo 5. New Webpage 6. Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation 7. New Accounting System 8. New Display Booth 9. New Emphasis based upon the Impact Conference 10. New WHOLE HERD REPORTING System 11. New ATIITUDE 12. Genomic Testing 13. New Committee Chairmanships and Makeup This is like any change, it will take some time to see the effect, but if we as individual members of the association, engage in accepting, promoting and using these new avenues, the ball will start to roll that will pick up speed, and get us

Jim ASA Freed vice president

where we want and should be. There will be ups and downs, but the overall impact should cause us to achieve the growth and improvement in our breed that we as a board have focused so intently on for the last three years. Likewise, this has to be a team effort, and we, as individual members, have to realize that each and every one of us has to play our part in this effort. That will vary from breeder to breeder, but each one of us has some talents, abilities, and situations, that will contribute to the overall goal of Thriving in this Beef Industry. We have formed new committee leaderships and encourage each and every one of you to join or at least be active in these committees. We, as the board of directors, highly value the input that these committees have in our decision making processes. The time is now for the "Shorthorn" and the "Shorthorn Plus" to be a major contributor to the whole beef industry and not just one segment. There is a need for diversity in our breed, so that we can meet the differing needs of the many facets of the beef industry both in the USA and abroad. Each one of as individual breeders, will have to use as many of the changes listed above, so that we as a collective group of Shorthorn breeders, can have "the buttons popping off ' feeling that we have arrived and are THRIVING-NOT = JUST SURVIVING.

ASA Members should contact Frank Stoltzfus (fstoltzf@masonicvillagespa.org) for more information if you are interested in running for the ASA Board. Nominations are still being accepted.

Applications for the Shorthorn Sire Progeny Test at the University of Illinois are due in the ASA office by July 10th.

Moving On Jake Alden, is a fifth generation Shorthorn breeder from Hamilton, Missouri, who has been with the American Shorthorn Association as a field man/member services director since December 2009. Alden was a big part in getting the ASA Great State Feedout program implemented. He said it was a great way for Shorthorn breeders to retain ownership while increasing the awareness of commercial availability of the breed. This is the seventh year for the program near and dear to his heart. “There have been a lot of changes since I started here but I have definitely seen a growth in the recognition of the Shorthorn breed.” Alden said.

shorthorn country = july 2016

“Shorthorn’s are becoming more of an option for commercial breeders.” Alden said he has really enjoyed working alongside the staff at ASA as well as breeders. He can really see how breeders have worked to make positive changes with Shorthorn’s and can’t wait to see where it will continue to go in the future. “This was only my second job out of college,” Alden said. “Both of the executive’s that I worked under helped me grow as a person. I really enjoyed when all the staff got together for Junior National’s because it was work hard and play hard. We made a good team.” Traveling to the West coast was also

exciting for Alden. He said he liked meeting breeders, touring the herds, and seeing how the scenery changed between each location. Alden said it was a really neat experience and he has enjoyed all his years at ASA. “Jake has a huge asset to the ASA over the years,” said Montie D. Soules, Executive Secretary/CEO for ASA. “He has accepted and risen to the challenge of many different roles over the years. Jake has a unique passion for our breed and has been instrumental in helping grow the breed’s recognition in the industry. We can only wish him well in his future endeavors. He will be missed greatly and we don’t like having to say good-bye.” =

Our hosts for the 15th World Shorthorn Conference in Uruguay gave new meaning to the term Southern h o s p i t a l i t y. Each of the cabanas and estancias we were fortunate to visit gave us a unique look at how Shorthorns are bred and raised in their country. Except for show animals, the cattle are on grass year round with almost no supplements. EID tags are placed in the calves' ears at birth and can be traced to the ultimate consumer. Many of the Shorthorns we saw would be desirable for breeders here but, unfortunately, are not available because, although Uruguay is free of foot and mouth disease, vaccination is required for all cattle. Most of the beef cattle we saw as we traveled around the country appeared to be Hereford with some

shorthorn country = july 2016

Shorthorn influence. It was interesting to compare experiences with the approximately 30 breeders from seven countries who took part in the tour. Watching the Uruguayan gauchos work the cattle on horseback was an experience not to be missed. Because there was rain 12 of the 14 days we were in Uruguay, it was impossible for the tour bus to reach several of the cabanas. In one case the gauchos drove cattle 10 miles across country to a sale facility so we could view them. Dr. Walter Mario Damboriarena and the Uruguayan organizing committee did an excellent job of mingling cattle visits with a chance to experience the sights of Uruguay. We visited two UNESCO world heritage sites, the city of Colonia del Sacramento - one of the original settlements of Uruguay - and the Industrial Museum Anglo at Fray Bentos where Uruguayan beef, mostly

Shorthorn and Hereford, was processed as bouillon and corned beef for shipment to Europe from the late 1800s through the 1960s. The WSC conference featured reports from each of the countries represented. Additional speakers from Argentina,the United Kingdom, Uruguay and the U n i t e d S t a t e s discussed the beef industry worldwide and Shorthorns in particular in both purebred and commercial aspects. The 16th WSC will be held in Australia in 2019, possibly in September. Start planning now for the experience of a lifetime! Joy Kerby Rocky Branch Shorthorns

Cliff was born in Nevada City, Calif., but moved to Lake County when he was a child. He was born into a family of 10 to Hugo and Edith Hellgren. He had four brothers and three sisters. All have gone on ahead of him save his youngest sister, Blossom Wade. He has lived in Lake County for 80 years. Cliff worked for Brassfield Enterprises for 26 years as Ranch Manager, cook, and horse wrangler before he retired. Clifford was one heck of a guy. He missed his calling as a super star country music singer, but he loved his karaoke machine and we loved hearing him croon. His hospitality during visits to the ranch was astounding and who can forget his amazing garlic bread at the Friday night barn parties. Although he would suggest at times that the cattle kept him and Dennis from traveling the world, his love for the ranch and passion for the Shorthorn breed was constantly on display. Cliff loved to sing, cook, and fish. He was active in many local association such as Lake Co. Horsemans Assoc., a two time past president for the Lions Club in Clearlake Oaks, and a member

of the Lake Co. Sheriff's Posse. Cliff was awarded the Top Country Music Award for Northern California Top Male Artist in 1977. These are just a few of his many accomplishments. He was no ordinary man. He had a charismatic personality and a wicked sense of humor. He is survived by his best friend and life partner, Dennis Pluth of Clearlake Oaks, Calif., and his three daughters, D'Anna Langhorne (Brian) of Clearlake, Calif., Audrey Atkins of Lakeport, Calif., and Roxann Weiper (Tom) of Clearlake, Calif. He leaves behind seven grandchildren; 10 greatgrandchildren; his sister, Blossom Wade; many nieces and nephews; and his many, many friends, too numerous to list. We will all miss him and cherish the memories we have of him. =

=Junior Corner Old memories; New Beginnings Haley ajsa Alden president

As I sit here to write my last article as a junior board member, I cannot help but reflect on what my time of being on the American Junior Shorthorn Association Board of Directors has given me. The last three years are truly a time in my life that I will never forget; I owe it all to the American Shorthorn Association and its breeders for this opportunity that has shaped me into the person I am today. Thank you for trusting me to be an ambassador for the Shorthorn breed, for always answering my phone calls and questions and, most importantly, always supporting the junior association. I can never thank you enough for the continued support that each and every one of you show towards us. First of all, I want to thank my family for giving me the opportunity to be involved in this great breed. Having attended 19 National Junior Shorthorn Shows in my 21 years of life is not something that many people can say, Thank you for pulling a trailer thousands of miles each year, staying in the best and worst hotels and always pushing me to be the best in everything that I do. There is no way that I would be the person I am today without the continuous support system that they

have given me. Being raised around the Shorthorn breed means the red jacket has always been in sight. In 1981 my father, Ron, was the first one in our family to wear the red jacket as President of the American Junior Shorthorn Association and he certainly would not be the last. Growing up, my father always told my siblings and I to always dream big and that we could accomplish anything that we put our mind to. In 2006, my brother Jake was elected President of the AJSA and I knew, from that moment on, I was destined to follow in their footsteps. When I decided I was going to embark on this journey, I knew I had the best support system that I could ever want. I will not lie, there has been blood, sweat and tears put into the last three years; but those things are nothing compared to watching young Shorthorn breeders accomplish their goals and dreams each year. I hope that as I pass my jacket on to another deserving AJSA member, it will light the same spark in a young AJSA member as it did in me in 2006. There is no doubt that I will miss wearing the coveted red jacket, seeing the smiles on exhibitors faces in the show ring, and putting on contests at junior nationals. I am very thankful

that I was given this opportunity to serve the breed for three years and I will definitely cherish these memories for the rest of my life. Dr. Seuss once said, “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” As the Shorthorn breed continues to progress, I do not believe there is a truer quote that relates to the industry more than this one. As one door closes, another one opens; presenting new opportunities, new challenges and new breaks. It is through this time of change that each and every one of us needs to stay strong and confident in what this new door has to offer. No one would ever close a door in your life if they were not confident in what you could accomplish through a new open door. Above all, be thankful; thankful that you were able to be a part of what is now a memory, thankful that you are able to open a new door, and thankful that you will be able to pursue more opportunities through every new door that is open. As you move on in every aspect of your life whether it be the end of a term or a new career path always remember to not cry because it’s over, but smile because it happened. =

Ponderings From The Pasture 1. Why doesn’t lutalyse work any more?

7. What do I do with fall calves?

2. Is hay in May a thing of the past?

8. Is there any kind of fence that doesn’t serve as a mulberry tree nursery?

3. Does low quality hay make for smaller babies? 4. Should I sell some of, any or all my cows? 5. How do I deal with the bull’s summer vacation? 6. Should I start a calf-a-month club?

9. Is there another breed of cows this old man could work by himself? 10. Really, are there “crazy little women” in Kansas City? (Hopefully none working at ASA!)

=Australian Ambassador Knutson Selected as Australian Ambassador by: Shelby Rogers, ASA Director Of Communications and Marketing Zachary Knutson of Pine Island, Minnesota, was selected as the Shorthorn Australian Ambassador. The ambassador program is a combined effort of the American Shorthorn Association with the Shorthorn Society of Australia. The selection of the Australian Ambassador is every other year on. The chosen individual will stay with Australian Shorthorn breeders to learn about rural Australia and the Shorthorn breed. The American Shorthorn Association provides transportation to and from Australia for the individual. While the David Down Youth Ambassador Memorial in conjunction with the Shorthorn Foundation will also

Zach Shorthorn Knutson Australian Ambassador

contribute a $1500 scholarship towards travel money. This opportunity is for individuals 18-25 years of age and must be a member of the AJSA or ASA. Knutson has three years of experience as an intercultural program host family as well as two years with short-term hosting involvement. He attended the International Career Development Conference in 2011 and 2013. Knutson also travelled to Norway in the summer of 2012 to learn about their culture. All of these international experiences have helped prepare him as he travels to Australia at the beginning of July. “When I found out that I could combine my two passions – beef cattle and travel – I knew I had to apply for this

opportunity,” Knutson said. “I am excited about the new connections and I am looking forward to learning about their genetics and breeding programs. This trip will provide a greater insight into the world market for Shorthorn genetics. I hope to bring home some valuable lessons to apply to my own breeding program.” Look for monthly updates in the Shorthorn Country of Knutson’s journey during his time in Australia. =
