The Real Competition
W
e as Shorthorn breeders and livestock producers need to take note of actions currently taking place across the country, specifically in Colorado, that could have a major impact on animal agriculture nationwide. Colorado’s Governor, Jared Polis, proclaimed a “meat out” day in March which asked his constituents to give up meat for a day and thus promoted vegan products. The nationwide reaction of the cattle industry was immense with thousands of Facebook posts supporting beef - real beef – not fake meat products and supporting the ranching families that produce it. However, many of these supportive social media posts were only seen by other livestock producers as we have a habit of preaching to the choir. Make no bones about it, these new vegan products are the real competition – just look at the dairy industry and the rise of “milk” made from almonds, oats and who knows what else. Yes, we compete against the other beef breeds for the bull market and show heifer market, but if there is no demand for beef - real beef from the cow - then those markets will eventually dry up. The State of Colorado is considering the ‘Protect Animals from Unnecessary Suffering and Exploitation’ – or ‘PAUSE’ Act. It’s gaining strength and its backers hope to get it on a ballot to become Colorado state law. This act would make it a felony to breed a cow AI, pregnancy check a cow through rectal examination, collect semen from bulls or castrate bulls. The people behind this act are declaring these processes as sexual molestation of animals. They do not understand or care about animal agriculture and the safe animal husbandry practices that we employ. And they’re getting ready to take our livelihood away. It’s easy to say or think, “This is in Colorado; it won’t happen in our states.” I beg to differ with 8
you. If this gains steam in Colorado, it will move to other states. What can we do? First be united, and work with other industry organizations to defeat initiatives like PAUSE. Second, be aware of the changes taking place among consumers who want to continue eating beef; they want to know our cattle are well cared for, that we take care of the land, that we raise livestock responsibly. We need to work hard to inform consumers about the safe practices we use on a daily basis animal husbandry. The gentle nature and disposition of Shorthorn cattle make our breed ideally suited for telling this story. Indeed, the Shorthorn breed is the Family, Friendly Breed – and this is the basis of our future and the real opportunity. It’s a breed that children can care for with their junior projects. For ranches across the land, it’s also a breed that combines genetic advancements to improve production attributes and beef quality. Indeed, Shorthorns offer everything modern ranches are looking for - low birth weights, structural soundness and easy fleshing. The breed has the performance to convert feed and forage into protein easily and efficiently. Also, the beef we produce is both nutritious and delicious. These are not really things we consider sharing when reaching out to customers to purchase a Shorthorn rather than another breed, but it is relative. If Shorthorn cattle are looked on as a
shorthorn country = may/june 2021
more efficient converter of protein, it will represent a different view to the marketplace while also maintaining a happy life in the pasture. This is our story – one that began 150 years ago. Today, we are closer to consumers, their wants and demands, than at any time in our history. We need to pay attention and promote a little different image of the breed that the consumer will embrace. Will this change things immediately? Probably not, but over time, the breed will start to take on a new image directed at our real consumer and market competition from other breeds. It is time to think outside the box and take Shorthorns to a special place in the market chain. The breeders of Shorthorn cattle are special people who keep their animals’ interests a priority. As a breed, we are proud of the taste of Shorthorn beef and the nutritious value it has. Are we selling a branded product? The answer is yes. But it is not branded like you think of the other brand programs out there. Through our continued hard work, we’re going to create an industry-leading Shorthorn brand for having special traits and being associated as a consumerfriendly product from the Family, Friendly Breed! By doing this, we’ll play a role in helping our industry stay vibrant and strong, to defeat the efforts those who stand against the livestock industry. =

2021-2022 ASA Show System Announced The excitement for our favorite season has finally reached culmination… Show Season has arrived! Over the last couple months, we have worked to secure show locations for the 2021-2022 Show Season. As mentioned previously, our goal is to highlight Shorthorn cattle and exhibitors at as many shows as possible. We are finally prepared to release our 2021-2022 ASA Show System. We hope that this system stands the test of time and all included shows come to fruition. On the next page, you will find our outlined system and show level assignments. This system is very similar to our previous system in past years with the addition of two Super National Shows. This year’s Super Nationals were selected as they present themselves to be our largest shows, allowing us to highlight our breed in the highest ability. Points earned at a Super National Show will count toward an animal’s National Awards point total. Super National Shows for the 20212022 Show System will be the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) in Louisville, Kentucky and Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Many factors were considered when selecting our 2021-2022 Super Nationals; a designation that will be evaluated on a yearly basis. These shows present strong
numbers with the anticipation for continued growth. Many exciting changes are expected at the 2022 Cattlemen’s Congress including an expanded trade show, cowboy clubs, additional electrical sources, added wash racks and increased spectator attendance. These improvements position Cattlemen’s Congress to become a superior cattle exposition for years to come. For these reasons, ASA is excited to commit our support to the 2022 Cattlemen’s Congress as a Super National Show and host location for our National Summit Sale. We look forward to our membership’s participation in our selected shows and cannot wait to see you there! As we get closer to the show later in the year, we will provide our breeders with more exciting updates and details. Important Show System Details: Region Assignments :: Map No changes have been made to a state’s regional assignment. National Awards National Awards will be calculated based on seven total National Shows: five National Shows and two Super National Shows. An animal MUST exhibit at 2 shows on the National level to be considered for National Awards.
National Awards consist of National Show Female, National Show Bull and divisional awards. Regional Awards Each Region consists of four total shows: two Regional shows, one Super Regional Show and one National Show. Regional Awards will be calculated based on points earned at each of these shows. To be considered for Regional awards, an animal MUST exhibit at 2 shows within a region. Regional Awards will consist of overall awards & divisional awards. Runner-up awards will not be selected. Point Distribution Points will be distributed based on the provided point scale, with Regional Shows receiving the fewest points, and Super National Shows receiving the most points as indicated. An animal’s earned points will be recorded with the Association and used to calculate Regional and National Awards. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions regarding the 20212022 Show System. Wade, wade@shorthorn.org Cassie, cassie@shorthorn.org
Registrations Reminder: When registering cattle, there is a “status” drop down list toward the right-hand side of the screen. Do not change the status of an animal if the animal is still alive! This is predominantly there for those who are recording deceased calves. If you, for example, give your calf the “sold after weaning” status, and then want to transfer the calf, you will not be able to. Giving it that status culled it out of your account, and it is no longer active. Leave the box blank, and you will be able to transfer the animal.

2020-2021
National Show Winner Qualifications With 2020-2021 bringing so many hurdles to jump through for the cattle industry, the ASA had to adjust the Show Points system since many of the Super Regional and Regional shows were cancelled this past year. The ASA Board of Directors approved to give out awards for the National Show Female and Bull of the Year as well as National Show Division Winners. The Board made the decision that at least two National Shows had to take place in order to do this. Luckily, three National Shows did take place, which are where the points for the year were calculated from. The three shows consisted of the following: American Royal Livestock Show 2020 North American International Livestock Expo (NAILE) 2020 Cattlemen’s Congress 2021 In order to qualify to be a National Show Division Winner, you needed to attend at least 2 of the 3 shows. The same point breaks that are usually used for National Shows were used for these division points too. You can see those below. National Shows Point Distribution 1st: 8 points 2nd: 7 points 3rd: 6 points 4th: 5 points 5th: 4 points
Division Champion: 7 points Reserve Division Champion: 5 points Grand Champion: 11 points Reserve Grand Champion: 9 points
*Please note that National Division Winners are special to this year, as majority of super and regional shows were cancelled due to Covid-19. View the show system schedule for more details on the plan for this coming year.

The Red, White and Roan Safari Set back and buckle up as we get ready to board the Shorthorn Safari in Louisville, KY. As many of you know the National Junior Shorthorn Show is the best time of year and we have many fun new contests and fundraisers for attendees this year. The NJSS was voted 2020 Best of the Barns “most enjoyable junior nationals” so what do you say we make it happen again! I don’t want to give anything away yet but one of the new fundraisers that we will have this year at junior national is very hands on (but you aren’t allowed to touch it) and will last the entire week. It is like elf on the shelf but with a twist, also have in mind a Shorthorn family you would want to prank. I don’t know about you, but the Shorthorn junior national has always
been our “vacation”. Every year a different place and theme, but always with the same Shorthorn family. This is why it is always one of my favorite times of the year. A week filled with friends, activities that advocate the great Shorthorn breed and good food (if you know me, I’m all about the food). Juniors if you are reading this article make sure you tell your parents thank you. I know I’m guilty for never saying it enough. We are so lucky to be a part of this great breed and industry. There are many life lessons that I have learned being a part of the Shorthorn breed and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t wait to see you all in Louisville! It’s going to be a ROARING good time! =

The Gelbvieh, Shorthorn and Simmental junior associations are saddened by this news rendering this summers event unable to take place in our nation’s capital. However, we are excited to announce that we will host the 2021 IGS Youth Leadership Conference; The Summit at West Texas A&M in Canyon, Texas.

Junior Board Candidates Lane Blankinship will be attending Oklahoma State University this fall where he plans to obtain a degree in Veterinary Medicine. He plans to start his own vet practice, increase his show cattle production and raise exotic deer. Lane is the son of Mark and Mandee Blankinship of Orlando, Oklahoma. Lane has been exhibiting Shorthorn cattle for the past nine years and believes his experience will help him on the junior board. Lane has been active with his local FFA chapter, serving in multiple officer positions and winning awards for his projects. He also has been active in sports on the baseball and basketball team. He has served as the secretary and treasurer of the Oklahoma Junior Shorthorn Association. “With the growing number of American Junior Shorthorn Association membership, the AJSA board has an opportunity to make AJSA one of the most desired junior programs,” Lane said. “With my background and experience, I think I would be a great addition to be board.” Merideth Behrens will be attending Redlands Community College this fall on a full scholarship as an Ag Ambassador and member of the Beef Show Team. She will be studying animal science with a minor in agricultural education. Merideth is the daughter of Justin and Stephanie Behrens of Calera, Oklahoma. Merideth was raised in a Shorthorn operation and attended her first NJSS in 2012. She loved watching opening ceremonies, she thought it was one of the coolest things she had seen and still feels that way now. Merideth has been very active in the Oklahoma Junior Shorthorn Association serving as president and vice-president. 30
Merideth was a Shorthorn Lassie from 2016-2019. She has exhibited cattle at many local, state and national shows. “I have learned that anyone can wear a red jacket, but it is the person in the jacket who makes the difference,” Merideth said. “I not only want to wear a red jacket, I want to represent the AJSA.” Ryan Lane is graduating from Grove High School this year. After graduation, he will attend Northeastern Oklahoma College for two years to judge livestock. After NEO, he plans to attend Oklahoma State University to obtain a degree in agricultural business. Ryan is the son of William Lane of Jay, Oklahoma. Ryan is a third generation Shorthorn producer; his family raises commercial and registered Shorthorn and ShorthornPlus cattle. Ryan has attended nine junior nationals and many other shows on the national level. He served on the Arkansas Junior Cattlemen’s Association board for five years and held many officer positions. Ryan was awarded the Arkansas Junior Cattlemen’s Association Breeder of the Year. He was active in 4-H and FFA serving as officers and competing in different contests. He also was a committee member for the Arkansas Spring State Fair and helped organize the team fitting contest. “I have looked up to the members of the AJSA board, they have mentored and encouraged me and other juniors to do our best,” Ryan said. “It is my desire to be that same type of leader in this association. I want to be part of the group that makes decisions that continue to positively impact our association.” Sheridan Fox is graduating from BelmondKlemme Jr. Sr. High School and will be attending Iowa State University in the fall to study animal science. Her goal
shorthorn country = may/june 2021
is to become a pharmaceutical rep after she graduates from college. Sheridan is the daughter of Brian and Emily Fox of Kanawha, Iowa. Sheridan has shown Shorthorns for many years and exhibited champions all over the country. Sheridan has been active within the Iowa Junior Shorthorn Association, even serving a vice-president. She has also been active with the Belmond-Klemme FFA Chapter and Iowa Hawkeyes 4-H Club. She received the AJSA Red Coat Award in 2014. “I have known that I would like to be an AJSA Director since my very first junior national when I was six years old,” Sheridan said. “I remember my first junior national when I was scared to talk to people the big kids in the red coats helped me meet new people from across the country that I can still today call my friends.” Xavier Ferris is currently a freshman at Oklahoma State University where he is studying agricultural business. He plans to grow his Shorthorn herd while pursuing a career in the ag business field. Xavier is the son of Brian and Andrea Ferris of Whiteland, Indiana. Xavier has attended the National Junior Shorthorn Show nearly every single year since 2006. He is a seventh generation Shorthorn producer. Xavier was active in high school sports as part of the baseball and basketball time. He has been active in his community as a mentor to children with disabilities. He was also active in FFA and received many awards for livestock and leadership. “Becoming an AJSA board member has been a goal of mine since attending my first junior national in Des Moines, Iowa in 2006,” Xavier said. “I took a picture with the junior board candidates and from that moment on I knew I wanted to be a mentor to the youth. I want to be part of a group of people that want to make the Shorthorn breed the best in the industry.” =
