Don’t let your membership lapse! Make sure you pay your annual membership fee by April 1, 2025. If you are a TOC Member and your membership is not paid by April 1, 2025, you will become a WHR Member when you renew your membership.
2025 WHR assessments will come available to complete online starting November 1, 2024. They will also be printed/sent to those whose preferences are set as so in their DigitalBeef accounts. The Board of Directors approved pushing the deadline windows back, and they are listed below.
2025 ASSESSMENT FEE SCHEDULE:
January 26, 2025 – March 31, 2025 $24 April 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025 $30
1. WHR inventory assessments must be completed and paid in full prior to registering calves born in the current assessment period, (i.e. 2025 assessment on a dam must be completed and paid in order to register her calf born in 2025.)
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 2025 to an assessed 2025 dam will be $0, if calf is registered within 12 months)
*Calves born in previous year(s) to unassessed dams will incur additional fees.
The Annual ASA Adult WHR Membership deadline was pushed back to April 1. Any TOC breeder that does not renew their membership before April 1, 2025 must become a WHR breeder – if they choose to renew after the new April 1 deadline.
Breeders can now send and are encouraged to send DNA samples directly to Neogen for testing rather than sending to the ASA office. Starting July 1, 2023, a manual processing fee will be incurred for those samples sent to the ASA office for preprocessing.
3 things will be required to send samples in for testing: 1. A registration (or recorded “U”) number for each tested animal
2. A paper copy of the finalized testing form, (emailed from staff, description below) which includes the Neogen order number
3. A barcode number for each animal tested
Breeders can queue up animals for testing in DigitalBeef and select which sample types they have, as well as which tests they want. Once the form is submitted, staff will process the testing request and get an order ID # from Neogen. A finalized printable PDF of the submission form will be emailed to you to print, sign and send to the lab with samples. Checks/ payments are still made to the ASA. Once staff approves the testing request, the breeder’s DigitalBeef account is billed accordingly.
- Thursday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm
8:00 am to 2:00 pm
(ASA Staff Meeting Tuesdays 10:00-11:00 AM)
As March arrives, spring is just around the corner, bringing renewed energy and fresh opportunities for Shorthorn breeders. Across the country, many of you are in the thick of calving season, welcoming the results of last year’s breeding decisions. At the same time, you are making critical mating selections that will shape next year’s calf crop. These decisions are the foundation of your herd’s future, and striking the right balance between genetic data and visual assessment is key to breed improvement and long-term success.
The mating decisions you make now will influence not only the performance of your next calf crop but also the overall progress of the breed. The Shorthorn breed has always been known for its adaptability, maternal strength, and quality carcass attributes. However, in today’s cattle industry, the demand for performance data has never been greater. Producers and buyers alike are seeking cattle that not only look the part but also have the genetic credentials to back up their phenotypic appeal.
Genetic profiles and performance data provide invaluable insight into an animal’s potential. Tools such as Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs), genomic testing, and performance records allow breeders to make informed decisions with confidence. These tools
Montie D. Soules asa executive secretary/CEO
offer a measurable way to predict traits such as growth rate, feed efficiency, carcass merit, maternal ability, and more. As the industry continues to evolve, using performance data is no longer optional—it is essential to maintaining and adding value to your herd.
However, while numbers tell a powerful story, they should not be the only factor in selection. The visual assessment of an animal—its structure, balance, soundness, and overall phenotype—remains just as crucial. Cattle must be built to function in realworld conditions, and a well-balanced, structurally correct animal will always be more productive over time. Combining data-driven selection with the trained eye of an experienced stockman is the key to breeding success.
As you plan your mating decisions for the upcoming breeding season, take the time to evaluate your herd’s strengths and weaknesses. Identify the traits that need improvement and select sires that complement your females, both genetically and phenotypically. The best breeders know that improvement is an ongoing process, and each mating decision should be a step forward in building a more valuable and productive herd.
Beyond individual herd improvement, the industry as a whole is demanding
more from cattle breeders. Commercial cattlemen and seedstock buyers are looking for data-backed genetics that offer real-world performance advantages. Shorthorn breeders who embrace both the science of genetic evaluation and the art of phenotypic selection will be the ones who thrive in this evolving marketplace.
As we move into spring, now is the time to make thoughtful, strategic breeding decisions that will impact your operation for years to come. Whether you are selecting AI sires or planning your natural service matings, consider the balance of data and visual appraisal to ensure you are breeding cattle that meet both industry demands and the legacy of the Shorthorn breed. By doing so, you not only enhance your own herd but also contribute to the overall improvement and future success of the breed.
The industry is changing, and the need for data-driven decisions is here to stay. By embracing the power of performance information while maintaining a sharp eye for phenotype, Shorthorn breeders can continue to produce cattle that excel in both genetic merit and real-world functionality. Let this spring be a season of progress as you make the decisions that will shape the next generation of Shorthorn cattle.
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) convention and trade show, also known as CattleCon, kicked off on February 4 in San Antonio, Texas. Suffice it to say, we were not expecting the heat in San Antonio, coming from the recent single and negative digits of the Midwest! The first day of the trade show is always exciting as we arrive to set-up the booth and have the anticipation of all the cattlemen and women perusing the trade show.
The following day, Montie and Heather met with Neogen to go over metrics as well as discuss the upcoming year. Shelby manned the booth during the meeting. Later that day, the US Beef Breeds Council (USBBC) met at the Shorthorn booth, giving us an opportunity to showcase our impressive
director of youth activities, director of marketing & communications
set-up. Also in attendance was Lee Miller, ASA Board President. He joined us in the booth to answer questions from attendees and provide breeder insight. Shelby attended NCBA to join the Livestock Publications Council (LPC) luncheon hosted to share business updates and provide networking.
CattleCon provides a great medium for filming new episodes of the Shorthorn Bull Pen podcast, as industry professionals and experts gather in one location. Montie and the Grant Company crew were nearly constantly filming podcasts, so be sure to watch for upcoming episodes featuring guests from NCBA, Livestock Publications Council, USBBC, US Premium Beef, Simmental, Neogen, Merck, and RA Brown Ranch.
To have the Shorthorn Breed
represented well at such a highly trafficked event brings such a positive impact. The new people that stop by the booth, old and new breeders, or other agricultural enthusaists that might not even have cattle, we are making a statement and being noticed.
The next stop for NCBA 2026 is Nashville, Tennessee – so if you’re planning a trip to Music City early next year, we welcome you to check out CattleCon!

Darryl Rahn grew up on a family farm in Northwest Illinois. The farm was purchased by Darryl’s great grandfather from a local farmer who was awarded the farm by the US Government as compensation for his time served in the Civil War.
Darryl owned his first Shorthorn heifer at the age of seven. Over the next ten years, the cow herd grew through retained heifers and new purchases. At the time Darryl was ready to go to college, the herd had grown to 26 cows and a herd bull. That herd paid 100% of Darryl’s college education, a fact he is very proud of.
After graduation from Illinois State with an Ag Education degree, Darryl and Carole married and Darryl had an opportunity to become cow herd manager at Questing Hills Shorthorn Farm in Illinois. That farm was managed at that time by Don Cagwin.
A couple years later, Don was asked to manage a purebred cattle sale. He asked Darryl to come with him to run this first sale. The sale was a success and that began the formation of Cagwin Cattle Services Sale Management. For the next twenty plus years, Don and Darryl partnered to manage Shorthorn sales throughout the United States and Canada. During that time, Darryl also worked with the Shorthorn Country magazine as an advertising representative. The Country at that time was under the management of Sherman Berg. Darryl continues today as an advertising coordinator for the Shorthorn Country.
During that time, Darryl continued to raise Shorthorn cattle. In 1989, Darryl and Carole’s son Andy exhibited the Reserve Champion Market Steer at the Junior National Show in Troy, Ohio. The next year, Andy raised a heifer that would become an All American Junior Heifer Calf. She was the Junior Heifer Calf Champion at the Illinois State Fair and at the NAILE in Louisville. She was the Reserve Junior Heifer Calf Champion in Denver and Valley City.
Darryl currently travels throughout the country representing the Shorthorn Country and the Shorthorn breed at sales, shows and other breed events. In 2022, Darryl was awarded the Merit Award through the American Shorthorn
In
Darryl states that he gets the most enjoyment in seeing old friends and making new ones in his travels. He has many family relationships that span three and four generations of a Shorthorn family. Darryl’s love of Shorthorns and the Shorthorn Family are as strong now
as ever and will continue being so in the future. Many have become close friends with Darryl and Carole.
Darryl and Carole have two children, Andy and Angela and four grandchildren.
Congratulations to Darryl Rahn on being the 2025 Cattlemen’s Congress Shorthorn Show Honoree.

Seven months ago, I was honored to be elected to the AJSA junior board. I knew going into it there would be a ton of responsibility, but I never realized the positive impact it would have on me. Looking back, I’m glad I decided to run because it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
In just over half a year, I have traveled to four different cities: Lexington, Louisville, Oklahoma City and Fort Worth. Each trip has allowed me to learn, grow, and connect with people who have the same passion for the Shorthorn breed. My most recent trip to the Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City was an amazing experience. Being a part of the junior board allows me to travel to different parts of the country and surround myself with some of the best Shorthorn cattle and breeders. The most remarkable part for me in Oklahoma City was seeing every Shorthorn shown walk through the ring. It is a true testament to the breed’s strength as so many outstanding cattle were exhibited.
The junior board has more to offer than just working the show ring. Between the conversations and teamwork with
the rest of the junior board members, I have gained leadership skills and built friendships that will last a lifetime. I’ve learned so much about the cattle, the breed, the industry, and the people who make the Shorthorn breed special. The Cattlemen’s Congress was more than just another cattle show for me, but also an opportunity to grow.
I am excited for the coming years on the junior board. My experiences up to this point have been life-changing, and I am eager to continue working for the Shorthorn breed.
My advice for anyone considering running for the board is simple: Do it! You won’t regret it. The junior board is about making a long-lasting impact on juniors, learning more about yourself, and contributing to shaping the future of the Shorthorn breed. The responsibilities may initially seem intimidating, but the rewards far outweigh any concerns.
If you genuinely love the Shorthorn breed, then run for the junior board. I can’t recommend running for the junior board enough. It’s a decision that has shaped my future, and I know it will do the same for you.
