t is October already. It seems like we just had Impact and our last year’s annual meeting. Our ASA annual meeting for this year is just around the corner on December 3, 2016 at the Argosy Hotel and Casino in Kansas City, MO. We are billing this year’s event as the Annual Meeting - Forum and Awards Banquet. This year’s event includes seminars which are an Educational Forum. I would like to encourage everyone to attend. This Forum is somewhat of a mini Impact Conference like we held last year. From the surveys we took last year the Number One reason breeders said they did not turn in data was the confusion on how it should be submitted. We felt a need to address that issue this year. There will also be a session addressing DNA markers that could identify fescue tolerant animals. Another interesting session during the Forum will include a panel of commercial bull buyers who are already using Shorthorn bulls answering questions and explaining why they use Shorthorn bulls. Plus, describing what we as a breed can do to encourage producers like this to continue to use Shorthorns. At 3:00 pm we will host the Annual Meeting and Election of ASA Board of Directors, with reports from the Lassies, the Shorthorn Foundation and ASA staff and all the normal items covered at the Annual meeting. Following, at 5:30 there will be a social for all and then at 6:30 the Awards Banquet, where we will honor ASA membership for their outstanding excellence. This will include awards for the Century Club and all show awards including National and Regional Heifer and Bull of the Year. We are working at recognizing ASA members for their tenure as Shorthorn breeders. We also plan to honor animals for their outstanding performance achievements. Please make plans to attend this event. It is a great time to visit and share ideas with fellow Shorthorn breeders. The time spent during breaks and at socials when breeders visited and discussed the industry and breed was one of, if not the most valuable part of last year’s Impact Conference. The time spent visiting, getting acquainted and developing ongoing Shorthorn Fellowship could be the most valuable asset of the day!

= Since you asked... Helpful Hints Heather customer service & Lange registrations

Just a few quick reminders for everyone who is getting used to the Digital Beef system. The “validate” button is one of the most important and one of the most overlooked steps in registering and transferring animals. Whenever you do a registration you will notice the “validate” and “commit to registry” buttons. Once you have entered all of your animal’s information in the birth data entry screen, be sure to hit “validate” first. This is going to quickly go through your work to make sure there are no errors and there are no missing pieces of information. Once the validation is completed, you’ll be able to hit “ok” and provided there are no errors, click “commit to registry.” Now, let’s say you do have an error message or two such as: No AI certificate on sire OR No DS test on

dam. These are error messages that will usually have to be cleared up after the certificate has been put in your account or the DNA has been sent in. It’s important to note that just because you don’t push a registration through right away doesn’t mean you’ve lost your work. Once the certificate or DNA (or whatever piece to the puzzle you are missing) has been placed in your account all you need to do is this: login to your account and on the left-hand side look for “Work Queues”. From here you will click “Birth Recording”, look for the date you started the entry, click “Go to This Queue” and revalidate. Hopefully those errors will have disappeared and you will be free to click “commit to registry”. When transferring animals, you also need to hit “validate” before hitting continue.

shorthorn country = october 2016

As long as the new owner’s name shows up after hitting “validate” you should be good to go on and hit “continue”. Another very important tool that is overlooked is the “Simple Search” tool. You can find this on the home screen of the Digital Beef page. It’s important to note that both members and nonmembers have access to this tool, so you do not need to login to use it. Here, you can look up members, search herd prefixes, and look up animalseither by name, tattoo, or registration number. This is a really helpful tool if you are transferring cattle to someone and don’t know if they already have an existing account with us, as well as for looking up animals that are registered with other associations. =

1. When used on red or roan Shorthorns or on any other breed, White Shorthorns tend to produce more of those beautiful roans, which are visually recognized as having Shorthorn genetics. 2. White Shorthorns mated with White Shorthorns result in 99% white calves—color uniformity. 3. It is thought that the progeny of White Shorthorns are less likely to be spotted. 4. The progeny of White Shorthorns often have darker red coloring. 5. Dark roans may produce more white calves than roans will produce. 6. White Shorthorns nearly always have red hair in their ears. 7. Some White Shorthorns have red pigment around their eyes, on their noses, and on their hooves. 8. White Shorthorns can have a red freckled hide. 9. White Heifer Disease is not a disease but is a genetic defect which causes heifers’ reproductive systems not to mature. This defect is found in other colored Shorthorns and in other breeds. There is not yet a genetic marker for this defect. Discussions of White Heifer Disease can be found in Otis L. Fisher’s 1993 book, The Story of Milking Shorthorns in the U.S., on pages 102 and 103 and in Dr. Jan Bonsma’s 1983 book, Man Must Measure, on pages 82 and 83. 10. There are commercial producers wanting to crossbreed who would rather use a White Shorthorn bull than a red or roan Shorthorn bull. 11. White Shorthorns can give Shorthorn breeders a purebred Shorthorn marketing option without the expense and hassle of having a second breed. Daniel Knust has been quietly but continuously maintaining a small herd of White Shorthorns since 1970, selling mainly to commercial producers. You can direct questions and comments to him at—

His paternal granddam had a 369 day calving interval on her first 4 calves. All three cows calved at 24 months or younger, and all calvings were unassisted. Fertility can be negatively affected by a variety of non-genetic factors. Nevertheless, fertility includes a genetic component and is too economically important to neglect.

The Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD): Are You Ready? The term “VFD” should be familiar to you by now. If not, there’s still time to prepare. The Veterinary Feed Directive goes in to effect on January 1st, 2017, though the process, rules, and documentation involved are still evolving. Based on how producers constantly transport, comingle, and market cattle in the purebred sector, some significant changes may be necessary to maintain the same management for the operation. Keep in mind, implementation of the VFD regulations may or may not impact your commercial customers the same way. At the most basic level, the VFD will simply require veterinary approval for any feed-grade antibiotics utilized in your livestock operation. Unfortunately, some on-farm practices have been implemented for so long, producers don’t even realize there’s been a herd health benefit. Here’s a deeper explanation: The VFD is like a 3-legged stool that involves your vet, your feed mill/store, and you. First, there must be an established “VCPR,” or Veterinary Client-Patient Relationship. Basically, they need to inspect your cattle regularly enough to make an informed diagnosis to authorize the use of an antibiotic. However, this does NOT mean they need to be on-farm every time they write a VFD. Paperwork for any feed-grade antibiotics fed to your cattle must be filled out by your veterinarian, then given to your feed mill prior to mixing the feed or receiving the product. Email delivery of paperwork is acceptable, but NO OVER-THE-PHONE approvals can be accepted! So, if you run out of medicated feed on Friday, your vet can’t just call the feed store and authorize the purchase. The paperwork has to be there first. Fortunately, the vet could use wireless internet and a laptop to fix this issue from the hood of their truck! The main feed-grade antibiotic impacting the seedstock producer is chlor-tetracycline, more commonly referred to as CTC, and in some cases oxy-tetracycline. CTC is commonly used in both free-choice mineral mixes and calf diets. For many cow-calf producers, CTC is a mainstay in their

mineral program for help with pinkeye. Unfortunately, this is an off-label use that has never been truly legal. However, CTC does have a label claim for the control of anaplasmosis. This disease can be lethal to adult cows and bulls, and can be transmitted by biting ticks, flies, or by reusing needles, dehorners, etc. from cow to cow. Since CTC can prevent clinical signs of infected animals from ever surfacing, producers may have anaplasmosis in their herd and be unaware of it. Producers can test their herd for the disease and vaccines are available. Testing and a quarantine period for incoming cattle is a sound idea since naïve mature cows and bulls are at considerable risk. Do some research in your area to find out if anaplasmosis has been reported. If so, consult with your veterinarian about the use of CTC for control of anaplasmosis. Under a valid VCPR and assuming label directions are followed your veterinarian may be able to write a VFD for control of this blood-borne infection. The VFD will be written for the number of cows in your herd for up to 6 months, which basically covers the season for natural vectors of the disease. It’s important to note that not all VFDs expire at 6 months; they are dependent on the drug being administered, many are much shorter in duration. Producers also often use CTC “crumbles” in calf diets and creep feeds to help prevent respiratory problems and pinkeye during times of stress in calves. Again, this is off-label use and will no longer be allowed under VFD regulations. Producers must do a better job of recognizing illness and work with their vet to diagnose and prescribe the proper treatment. CTC may be ordered with a VFD for the treatment of bacterial enteritis or bacterial pneumonia, but not for prevention. It will be important to read updated VFD drug labels as they are released late this fall to know the approved label indications. In the past, producers could go to the feed store and pick up bags of “medicated” protein or preconditioning pellets in hopes those fresh weaned calves or show heifers wouldn’t get a snotty nose after a period of stress (extreme heat, fairs, nose-to-

shorthorn country = october 2016

Patrick Area Beef Field Specialist - SE Iowa Wall Marion County, Extension Office O: 641-842-2014 C: 515-450-7665 patwall@iastate.edu

nose contact with other herds, etc.). Now, the vet will need to diagnose the snotty nose, and CTC may or may not be the preferred treatment. On the upside, disease treatments may become more effective and overall herd health may improve with veterinary oversight. Another area of emphasis impacting seedstock producers is drug combinations, particularly with products like monensin. Though ionophores are not directly regulated under VFD rules, they are impacted when used in combination with other drugs. For example, if monensin is typically used to enhance feed efficiency of a cow diet, the producer must make the vet aware and make sure it is included on the VFD paperwork if it is to be used in combination with any other VFD drug. Again, veterinarians must follow label claims or have medically justified reasons for combining drug treatments. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already began the monitoring and verification process, even though the regulations don’t officially start until year end. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT “prepare” for the VFD by stocking up on feed grade drugs in the corner of the barn. The government is already monitoring product sales for any red flags this fall, and after January 1st, 2017 you will need a lawful VFD to feed any medicated product you have on hand, even if it was purchased prior to year end. You should already be documenting the treatment of sick animals on the farm/ranch with a barn calendar or smart phone. Begin documenting how many bags of medicated mineral you set out and when the bin of medicated calf feed ran empty. There will be some growing pains, but proper planning should ensure you don’t cringe when you hear the words: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” =

National Shorthorn Lassie

Queen Canadidates

The National Shorthorn Lassie Association would like to introduce the young ladies that will be competing in the National Lassie Queen contest in November at the North American Livestock Expo in Louisville, Kentucky. Elaine National Dragstrem Shorthorn Lassie

First hailing from the Lone Star State we have Shelby Lee Ann Armstrong. Shelby is the 20-year-old daughter of Angel Dornak Damon and John Armstrong of Damon, Texas. She got her start showing Shorthorns after winning a calf scramble as a freshman in high school. Shelby is currently serving as the Texas Shorthorn Lassie Queen. She attended Texas A&M for Agriculture Education, but a career change was made and now she will be attending the Houston Police Academy. Her future plans are to be a Criminal Investigator. With the support of her Ag teacher Shelby began her journey to be a National Shorthorn Lassie Queen.

The next candidate is a Corn Husker at heart, Tejlor Strope. Tejlor is the daughter of Boyd and MaLaine Strope of O’Neil, Nebraska. She is currently serving as the Nebraska State Lassie Queen. Tejlor’s family have been Shorthorn breeders since the early 1950’s. She will graduate from O’Neil Public Schools in the spring of 2017. Her future plans are Pre-Dental at Wayne State College. Tejlor is a lifelong Shorthorn enthusiast, and has dreamed of serving as a National Lassie Queen since she was a little girl.

At this time we would also like to thank our 2015-2016 National Shorthorn Lassie Queen Macy Bakenhus and the Alternate National Shorthorn Lassie Queen Riley Francis for representing the Shorthorn breed over the past year. These two young ladies have done a wonderful job representing the tartan plaid around the country.

MEIEROTTO’S

by Rachel Cutrer

Brightly colored leaves, crisp cool air, foggy mornings (depending where you are in the country) and golden sunsets make Fall the perfect season to capture gorgeous moments around the farm and ranch. At V8 Ranch, we are blessed to have great photography resources. My sister and brother in law are nationally acclaimed wedding photographers who conduct exquisite photography workshops. We love it when they volunteer to take photos on the ranch because they are always perfect.

the cattle rancher) or Luke (my brother-in-law, the professional photography) take photos on the ranch, they usually pencil in a few days to get the job done, especially if it is picturing sale cattle. For whatever reason, usually the first day of sale picture day always has trouble. If that happens, Brandon will usually pack up the camera bag and call it a day. The next day may be magic. Give yourself extra flexibility and wiggle room to find the best time when your cattle will cooperate with you.

My husband, on the other hand, is a completely self taught, do-it-himself cattle photographer who simply enjoys photography as a hobby. The combination of having professionals on hand but a comfortable amateur works quite well. There are certain times of the year where hiring the professional photographer has definite advantage. For example, before sale time. However, many times throughout the year we are able to do a great job on our own just by using the tips and tricks we've learned from our professional siblings.

Tip #2. Be prepared for the unexpected.

This month, I share five tips any rancher can use for capturing great photos this fall. Hopefully youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find these helpful from the professional photographer standpoint and the casual ranch photographer point of view. Tip #1: Take your time. When either Brandon (my husband,

No, I'm not talking about a calf jumping the fence. Well...maybe. During these fall months, keep your camera with you at all times so you are prepared to capture that perfect shot. It might be early morning, or just at dusk when you're turning out the calves for the night. Always be prepared. Tip #3. Use the sun to your advantage. Many professional photographers savor the golden hour of photography. This is the time right after sunrise or right before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky. This is the magic time for capturing great farm scenic photos. If you go to www.goldenhour.com you can actually calculate the best time for these pictures based on

shorthorn country = october 2016

your location. Tip #4. Maximize fall colors. If you live in an area where the trees change color in the fall, you need to capitalize on this time. It's your once a year opportunity to showcase the beautiful farm scenery and warm hues. Fall color makes for a great backdrop for pasture shots, farm scenic photos and even family pictures (just in time for Christmas cards!). The fall leaves make cattle look great by providing a warm contrasting background for white, black, or red cattle. Tip #5. Plan a photo shoot right before fall calving If you have a fall calving herd, plan a morning or evening to capture your cows in prime condition right before calving. Deep bodies, wide hips, and full udders make ideal conditions for pictures of your cow herd. Think of ways to stage some great shots - like all of the cows lined up walking towards the barn or eating hay at sunset. And, here's an extra tip: don't forget Christmas is right around the corner! Brush up on your photography skills this month, and then consider putting some camera upgrades on your Christmas list. It's a legitimate business expense AND a great Christmas gift all in one! =

RC Show Cattle once again with guest consignor hosted a fantastic event on a nice September evening. The pens packed with lookers they crowded into the tent to bid on their favorite animal. The bidding was at a very fast pace for the great group of heifers assembled. Congrats goes out to everyone involved in this event. Events like this make the cattle industry continue. $15,000-Top selling lot was RC Proud Revival. This April heifer sired by RC WG Damn Proud and out the

ever famous Revival cow family. The Revivals have long been known for their show ring presence and cow making ability and this red and white heifer will be no different. Levi Shelby, Madill, Okla., was the lucky bidder on this heifer raised by RC Show Cattle. $17,800- was in second running with a fantastic pair of heifers sired by RC WG Damn Proud and out of CF Cumberland 186 FS. The lot 4 was a roan, April female which will see the tanbark heavily, was purchased by Mary Henry, Auburn, Ind., for $12,000. Lot 5 was a roan, March heifer and this full sister was purchased by Diane Collett, Liberty, Ind. Minges Family Farm consigned this fancy pair. $10,500- Third high selling lot was RC WG Cherry 601. This red necked roan, a February powerhouse, sired by SVFI Uncle and out of WG RC Golden Cherry. Golden Cherry just happens to be the mother of a little

known bull called RC WG Damn Proud. RC Show Cattle bred this female with Garrett Lundago, Alberta Can., as the buyer. $8,000-Top selling ShorthornPlus female was MFF Cumberland 94. This ultra well designed female was sired by I-80 and out of a CF Firestone cow. This solid black female should be a contender in her division. Minges Family Farm sold this heifer to Molly Hunt, Lynn, Ind. $6,250- Second top selling ShorthornPlus was a black with white mark, February heifer sired by SAV Brilliance and out of an SULL Eldorado cow. If looks could kill this one would be deadly with maternal abilities lined through her pedigree. KSD Farms was the consignor with Cody Gallagher, Foreman, Ark., getting the chance to lead this one. =

Shelby director of youth Rogers activities, director of marketing & communications

jersey from football player Tyron Warren. There are Sunglo, Cydectin, Sullivan Supply and Purina packages up for grabs. Plus, many more items from a wine barrel table to a Shorthorn painting and Yeti cooler to custom embroidered hats and ad design to Legacy Livestock photoshoot. The junior board worked hard to gather items to reach all types of interests. In the previous years, there was a Casino Night after the auction. This year there will be a new night of fun. I have been working on a custom Shorthorn-opoly game. There is also an opportunity to help sponsor the Shorthorn monopoly board. Your logo will be placed on the property and the property will be named after you. Email shelby@shorthorn.org for more information on how to help sponsor AJSA. We hope to see you there! =

=What Digital Beef CanDo For You A Few Things To Help You Through Sale Season Sale season is upon us and there are a few things to remember to make the transition smooth as silk, eliminating headaches for you, and the buyer. Before the sale: • Register the animals. • Tattoo the animals. • If you are selling embryos, make sure all the DNA requirements are met on both dam and sire. It is important that the sale entries are registered before they are sold; having the sale animal registered prior to the sale ensures the potential buyer will receive all the details of the animal, such as pedigree and breed percentages. Also, tattooing the sale animals before the sale and making sure the tattoo matches what is on the registration paper virtually guarantees the new owner won’t have any problems when they take the animal to a show which requires entries to be tattoo verified.

When selling embryos, it is important to make sure all the DNA requirements are met on both dam and sire; this eliminates problems, such as having to draw blood to test DNA, for the buyer when they register the resulting calf. At the sale: • Ask the buyer for their member number. With the new online registry, transferring cattle is easier than ever; if you know the buyers member number you can complete the process in six simple steps! You are still able to mail into the ASA office, just make sure to include the original registration paper with the completed application for transfer in your envelope. After the sale: • Transfer the animal to the new owner within 60 days of sale. • Include breeding information in the transfer of bred heifers.

=News & Notes Farewell George H. Nickel, 93, of Westfield, passed away on Thursday, September 8, 2016 at Wellbrooke of Westfield. He was born on September 30, 1922 to Charles and Esther (Gustafson) Nickel in Arenzville, Illinois. George was a 1940 graduate of Carmel High School, and for 50 years was a cattle herdsman for Lynnwood Farm Purdue Research Center. He was a member of Clarksville Christian Church, and was quite active in 4-H. George showed polled shorthorn cattle

in most major livestock events in North America. He is survived by his children, Jim (Marietta) Lambdin, Ann (Charles) Catron, Bill (Debbie) Lambdin, Ron (Dayna) Nickel, Jerry (Robin) Nickel, and Sue (Kim) Hicks; 16 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; brother, Wilbur Nickel; and sister, Alice Chitty. In addition to his parents, George was preceded in death by his wife, Georgia Lucille Nickel in 2012; daughter, Teresa Jones; and sister, Dotty Wheeler. Memorial contributions may be made to Clarksville Christian Church, 16600 Lehr Street, Noblesville, IN 46060. =

Save yourself some money! Transfer your sale animals within 60 days of the sale, transfer fees increase after 60 days. Once the animal is transferred and the bill is paid a new registration paper will be mailed to the new owner, unless you requested the registration paper to be mailed back to you by selecting ‘mail certificate to seller’. Breeding information is the highest cause of errors when transferring bred heifers. If the heifer is naturally bred to a bull, add the breeding information at time of transfer, this ties a natural breeding agreement to that heifer and makes the registration process easier for the new owner when it comes time to register the resulting calf. Having these items completed provides your customers will have a positive experience with your operation and the association after their purchase. =
