2 / March 2016 Hereford.org

If my experiences this January are any indication of how 2016 will play out, I’m in for a treat. In the first month of the year, I found myself heading west twice: first stepping off a plane into a brisk mountain winter and second, into winter of a different kind — sunshine and palm trees.

For the second year in a row, the Hereford breed broke records at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. Red and white flooded the Yards and the Hill with some of the best cattle in the country. Numbers were up and the excitement for the industry was even higher.

Be sure to turn to 0 for nearly 40 pages of NWSS highlights and results. The NWSS is a place of history and homecoming for many — especially for three sisters from Colorado. Turn to Page 36 to travel back in time to learn about the 100-year history of the DeBerard/Orr family and the NWSS.

Two weeks later, I was sitting alongside more than 6,000 cattlemen at the 2016 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Trade Show in San Diego.

In addition to industry updates, we received insight into recent market price shocks and the potential for future instability in the industry from analysts during the CattleFax Outlook Session. A summary of the Cattle Industry

Convention can be found on Page 110.

I also encourage you to check out all of the outstanding presentations available online from the popular Cattlemen’s College at beefusa.org.

Keynote speaker Robert O’Neill captivated cattlemen during the general session. As a former United States Navy SEAL, team leader and Naval senior chief petty officer, O’Neill shared with cattlemen lessons learned from more than 400 combat missions — lessons I found to be fitting for the current state of our industry and for beef producers who have the thankless job of feeding the world.

He says to be prepared. It won’t always be perfect, but having a plan in place will help to ease the blow of life’s unexpected punches.

And when that unexpected obstacle comes into sight, don’t react but rather respond to the situation. O’Neill says taking the emotion out of the professional decision-making process will lead to more sound decisions in the moment.

Lastly, never quit — I think that’s something cattlemen have down. No two years are the same, and they surely have some of the toughest days, but the heritage of the Hereford breed and the American cattleman prove they never quit.

In this issueHereford youth can start making plans for this year’s Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), “A Hereford Scene in 2016,” in Madison, Wis., July 9-15. The JNHE schedule on Page 23 details another exciting week.

The Cornelius family shares how their attention to detail and focus on end goals have made their operation, Coyote Ridge Ranch, a success.

Flip to Page 52 to learn how Hereford breeders are saving time with the American Hereford Association’s online registry system, MyHerd.org, specifically with the artificial insemination (AI) certificate release function.

Page 118 gives us a different view of the beef industry through the lens of economist Bill Helming, who believes the beef industry and consumers would benefit from two beef production models — the one that already exists plus another forage-based system for animals that would produce only high-quality ground beef.

In this issue we included the “2015 Sales Digest: A Year in Review,” proving that Hereford demand has been strong. Remarkably, in five years the average for Hereford bulls has more than doubled.

Finally, our editorial this month rounds out with some management tips for cattlemen. HW

Included with the March issue of the Hereford World each year is the Hereford Artificial Insemination (AI) Book, which focuses on bulls that have semen available.

Included are pedigrees, an expected progeny difference (EPD) trait list, semen and certificate costs (unless non-certificate sire), basic information and owners — this is a great reference. Of course, a more comprehensive search can be done on the American Hereford Association (AHA) website, Hereford.org, under the EPD inquiry section.

Having free access to performance certificates, the AHA has the most transparent site in order for anyone to search for Hereford animals. In addition, all results from

young sire test programs and research programs are printed in the Hereford World.

All of this information is at your fingertips for you to make good selections for genetic progress in the area of economic relevant traits. Each year it has been exciting to see the bulls used most heavily in the seedstock herds, based on the number of calves recorded by sire. Below is a list of the top 10 sires for calves born between Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2014.

It is clear to see by looking through this list that Hereford breeders are committed to using high-accuracy sires that are multiple trait leaders in areas of economic relevance. Nine of the bulls listed are proven sires that offer some calving ease, growth and end product merit.

Five of the sires are listed in the major AI sire books, and two of them are non-certificate sires. Since 2003, AI use in the Hereford breed has grown 82%, and in 2014 more than 31% of the calf crop recorded was born from an AI sire.

There has been tremendous genetic progress made in the Hereford breed over this time period, which has allowed Hereford semen sales to really grow in the commercial market. As seedstock producers, I encourage you to keep up the good work. Identify the genetics that will work in your herd and for your customers, and utilize all of the tools available to make sound breeding decisions. HW

Top 10 Hereford sires for calves born Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2014


February marked the first of more frequent runs of the genetic evaluation for the American Hereford Association (AHA) — the genetic evaluation will now be run 10 times a year.

The Pan-American Cattle Evaluation (PACE) is a bi-continental evaluation that includes data from the AHA, the Canadian Hereford Association (CHA), Uruguay and Argentina. The PACE program has proved to be very beneficial, promoting Hereford genetics worldwide, and has strengthened our relationships with other countries involved.

Traditionally, PACE is run twice a year, better known as “the spring and fall runs.” Through this evaluation, expected progeny differences (EPDs) are derived from pedigree, phenotype and genomic information. Many breeders are now taking advantage of genomics to build proof on young or unproven sires because of the increased accuracy of evaluated traits.

So it should make sense, as more animals continue to get genomic enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs), that PACE provides the most up-to-date data and accurate information on animals evaluated. With the addition of more frequent evaluations, this information should allow breeders to make the best and most informed decisions throughout the spring and fall breeding seasons.

A question you might have is “Then why not have 12 runs a year?” And I would

tell you that before you walk, you must crawl.

The AHA will have 10 runs a year, CHA will have six runs a year and South America will stick with the two traditional runs a year. To accommodate South American data, the months of July and November will be the only two months the AHA will not have updated evaluations.

Another question you might have is “Will data from Canada, Uruguay and Argentina be included in the AHA runs they are not participating in?” And the answer is “Yes,” but understand it will be the same data from their most previous run. To the left you will find a table outlining when data will be released as well as a publish deadline.

The take-home message is that breeders will need to have data turned in to the AHA by the 15th of the month prior to the month that it will be released. For example, for the April 2016 run, data will need to be turned in by the 15th of March. The only exception to this publishing deadline will be for July and December runs, when data will need to be submitted by June 1 and Nov. 1, respectively. This is no different from what is currently being done.

To summarize, the AHA trait evaluation will be handled using BREEDPLAN software, a program used by the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI) from Australia. ABRI has and will continue to be the service provider for the AHA genetic evaluation. So at this

point, no changes will be made to trait calculation; the only change that will be made is when data will need to be turned in. Finally, take advantage of more frequent runs for genetic progression this spring.

Looking aheadAs we move forward with more frequent runs, the AHA will also be looking at a new genetic evaluation program called BOLT, developed by Dorian Garrick, Iowa State University Lush Chair in animal breeding and genetics and NBCEC executive director, and Bruce Golden, California Polytechnic State University department head and professor of dairy science. Later this spring and into summer, the AHA will be conducting simultaneous runs to help test the new system and to make comparisons with the current one.

Essentially, BOLT will be able to conduct a single step approach to genomic evaluation and combine with pedigree information and phenotypes. This method will significantly reduce the time needed for an analysis and allow for runs to be conducted twice a month or potentially once a week, which is quite amazing when you think about going from two runs a year to runs potentially once a week.

The bottom line is the technology that is available to evaluate genomics is improving rapidly, and in order to stay positioned for continued growth in this area, we must take advantage of these opportunities. HW

Her calf and her steer mates are in demand, regardless of end point.

The stakes have never been higher to create value and efficiency throughout the production system. In the past decade, Hereford has documented dramatic improvements in

Spring 2016 calf registrationPreparation is the key to stress-free calf registration. Review your calving records before the spring 2016 calving season is over and make sure you have complete calving records. When it’s time to start registering your calves, it will be easier and faster to register your calves if you have all the required information organized.

A great way to keep track of your calving records is with a calving book. The American Hereford Association (AHA) has a simple shirt-pocket size herd book to help keep detailed calving records. Purchase a pocket herd book for $5 from the AHA customer service department or ShopHereford.com.

Calf registration reminders:

• Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) — Participants must have the herd inventory turned in for the season before

calves can be registered. Contact AHA customer service if you don’t have a current inventory to update.

• Dam and sire registration numbers — Provide complete dam and sire registration numbers. Only Whole Herd TPR participants are allowed to use a herd ID (identification number) in place of a registration number.

• Type of service — The type of service is how the dam was bred by the sire. The service type options are natural service or artificial insemination (AI).

›› Calves sired by an AI bull need an AI certificate for registration unless the bull is in the AHA Non-Certificate AI program.

›› Natural services by leased or borrowed bulls must be authorized by the bull owner.

A signature from the bull owner can be provided on part two of the application for registration or a letter of authorization can be e-mailed or faxed to the AHA customer service department.

• Embryo Transplant (ET) — An embryo recovery date is required to register an ET calf. If the embryo was purchased, contact the sale manager or owner of the donor dam for the recovery date.

• Tattoo — A calf must have a permanent tattoo in at least one ear to be registered. The permanent tattoo is what verifies the registered animal to its registration paper. A tattoo can be in one or both ears and can be a maximum of eight numbers and letters. It’s recommended to include the “year letter” to indicate the year

Register calves faster with MyHerd.org

The American Hereford Association’s (AHA) new online registry system, MyHerd.org, saves members time and money. Calves can be registered from a list of cows, and sires can be quickly selected using MyHerd’s Quick Pick Sire feature.

Registrations entered on MyHerd process in real-time; they are completed and provided immediately if entries are successful, and if there is a problem, members are informed immediately of registration errors or incomplete information; in addition, members who register online receive a discounted registration rate. Use the instructions below to register your first calf on MyHerd today!

Pedigree member:

1) Log into your Myherd account and go to the “Active Registered Female” page.

2) Select a female from the list.

3) Click the “Calf Registration” button at the bottom of the page. A new page will open with the dam’s information automatically filled. Instruction continues, skip to step 4 on next page.

Performance member:

1) Log into your MyHerd account and click on the provided calving to-do list task.

2) Select a cow from your calving to-do list.

3) Click the “Add Calf” button at the bottom of the page. A new page will open with the dam’s information automatically filled. Instruction continues, skip to step 4 on next page.


of birth. The year letter for 2016 is “D.”

• Calf herd ID — The calf herd ID can be a maximum of 6 numbers or a combination of numbers and letters. The calf herd ID is how the calf is identified or known in your herd. It can be the same as the tattoo or its ear tag number. The only rule is herd IDs can’t be duplicated within a herd.

• Horn status — The horn status is the horn phenotype of the calf. The horn codes are as follows: H = horned, P = polled and S = scurred. Note: If a calf has been surgically dehorned, it’s still considered a horned Hereford.

• Name — It’s the responsibility of the original owner to name the calf. The name can’t be more than 30 spaces long, including spaces between words. Brands, symbols and commas can’t be used. Names should be unique to each animal,

because no two Herefords should be named the same. The name for an unregistered animal must be its combined tattoo. A registered name can be recorded when the animal is updated to registered status.

• Birth performance data — Remember performance data can only be accepted from participating Whole Herd TPR members. If you’re enrolled in the Whole Herd TPR system and birth performance data is rejected when registration is submitted, the rejection has occurred because you’re currently non-compliant and new information can’t be accepted until all overdue information is turned in.

FAQsQ: Does a performance breeder have to register every calf to have EPDs?

A: The Whole Herd TPR system doesn’t require every calf to be registered. Calves may be

reported as unregistered and upgraded to registered status later. It’s important to report all live calves so that each cow on inventory is given credit for producing a calf.

Q: How much does it cost to register a Hereford calf?

A: The price of registration depends on how old the calf is at the time of registration and how the registration is submitted to the AHA — regular paper form or electronic form (online registry or herd management software). Refer to the table below for regular and electronic registration rates. HW

Register calves faster with MyHerd.org Continued registration instructions:

4) Select the sire of the calf from your sire quick pick list or if he’s not listed just enter his registration number in the box provided and click Find. Note: Once a calf is recorded the bull will be added to your quick pick sire list for your next registration.

6) Enter date of birth (MM/DD/YY)

7) Select service: “AI” or “natural”

8) Select “Yes,” if calf is an ET (Embryo Transplant), or “No,” if it’s natural or AI.

10) Click the “Calculate Breeder & Original Owner” button.

11) Note: Review calculated breeder and original owner, and for multi-owned calves, click the down arrow to select another breeder and/or original owner.

12) Select calf’s sex.

13) Select “registered” or “unregistered.”

14) Select number in birth (1=Single automatically selected).

15) Select horn status.

16) Enter registered name or combined tattoo if calf is going to be recorded as unregistered.

What’s Trending in 2016?Instagram, Snap Chat, Facebook and Twitter, to name a few, are the trending social media outlets. Social media is the fastest and easiest way to promote a business and a brand these days. The reach is virtually endless, and with 179.7 million social media users, according to Infographic, it is the easiest way to instantaneously reach a targeted audience and to create recognition.

The number of users will continue to grow as businesses and brands focus on reaching a larger target audience and become more tech savvy and in tune with social media trends.

What to order?While we are on the subject of social media, have you noticed that everyone takes pictures of their food and posts them on their wall or page? Whether they are just sharing what they had for dinner or writing an online review about the restaurant or store, it’s still the fastest way to spread word of mouth about a particular entrée or establishment. Here’s a quick rundown of the top three most popular steaks that are ordered today: filet mignon, ribeye and strip steak.

Let’s start with a filet. The word “filet” actually references a cut of meat most commonly from the tenderloin but can also reference a filet of sirloin, a filet of ribeye, a filet of chuck or a bistro filet. This

cut is circular in shape and can vary in size. Each cut is derived from a different muscle but marketed with the word “filet” to give the perception of a high-end and valuable cut.

This particular cut is spelled in two different ways in both the grocery store and the restaurant: “filet” and “fillet” — both pronounced (fi-lā). The ultimate treat is the bone-in filet. This is the most expensive and prestigious cut in the market today — definitely worthy of a Snap Chat.

The ribeye steak is also marketed as the Delmonico. This is the boneless cut of the ribeye that is comprised of two muscles: the longissimus dorsi (ribeye heart), which is the center part of the ribeye that can be cut down and used as a ribeye roll or ribeye filet, and the spinalis dorsi (cap muscle), which is the most flavorful piece of the ribeye and is found more predominantly on the chuck end of the ribeye. Think chocolate sauce on a sundae.

When the ribeye is cut with the bone still attached, look for verbiage along the lines of a bone-in ribeye or Cowboy Steak — many names have been coined to market the difference between the bone-in cuts of meat depending on the

creativity of the person marketing the cut or where you live in the country. The Cowboy Steak is the most universal name and is most commonly a full bone-in ribeye that is typically frenched, meaning the bone has been cleaned of meat and fat and commands a presentation that leaves your eyes wide and your mouth watering.

If you are looking for a more cost-effective alternative to the full-bone ribeye — check out the split-bone ribeye. The whole bone is cut in half lengthwise and yields more from the sub-primal. Plan on falling in love with your ribeye and posting your plate on Facebook before devouring its contents.

Last but not least is the famous strip steak. This cut also comes both boneless and bone-in from the striploin sub-primal. Depending on where you live in the country, the strip steak can be called a New York Strip or a Kansas City Strip, the debate makes for great dinner conversation. The strip steak is also a dynamic steak because it too can be cut filet style, both bone-in and boneless, and can boast the name of Club Steak. Really versatile, right? Your Instagram friends want to see it too.

The year 2015 was definitely one for the record books as I was elected to the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board of directors in Grand Island, Neb. Even though I have only been on the board for a short amount of time, I have already made some of the best memories imaginable.

My first board experience was going to Denver for the Faces of Leadership conference. I have been to Faces of Leadership and PRIDE (Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel) many times, but the board experience made this the best one yet.

My last board adventure of 2015 was going to Kansas City, Mo., for the National Hereford Show and Annual Meeting during the American Royal. As a board, we met with the American Hereford

Association (AHA) Board of Directors and discussed the upcoming events for 2016. It was great to be able to sit down for a meal with the senior board and to get to meet them personally.

Another highlight of the American Royal was the Celebrate the Brand event and sale. The boardies, along with the AHA staff, worked all day in preparation for the arrival of all of the breeders, AHA Board members and all of the supporters of the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA).

The crowd finally started pouring in from the shuttles, and the junior board members, along with the Oklahoma State Culinary School students, put their final touches on the hors d’oeuvres. I was able to become very close with my fellow board members and our advisors in Kansas City and to make many good friends, as well as to find people to look up to, just in the span of one weekend.

The New Year came with a bang. Those subscribed to the Hereford World started the year by opening their mail to find the new and improved NJHA calendar. The 2016 calendar was bigger and better than ever. The board is very thankful to all who purchased an ad in support of the NJHA. We really hope everybody enjoys the practicality of the new calendar and continues to flip those pages each month.

The first thing I had on my calendar was the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. I had never been to the NWSS but was amazed at all of the incredible cattle I saw on the Hill and in the Yards.

When I arrived in Denver, my first stop was the Yards — it was an amazing sight. There are countless cattle, surrounded by countless breeders standing on every color of shavings possible.

I was able to find my home when I saw the Hereford signs down the

aisle. I knew these were my people, and I was able to socialize with friends and breeders from across the country.

My next stop was the Hereford suite; this had the Hereford General Store and a great hospitality area. All of the Hereford breeders made sure to stop by the suite to get some salsa in support of the Lot 1 Foundation Female and to socialize with other breeders. They might have even eaten a few crème puffs in the process, if they were like me.

Up on the Hill, exhibitors were enjoying the awesome trade show in their free time, anxiously awaiting the show the next day. The boardies got to do my absolute favorite job, which is working the ring for the junior heifer show. It is a hard job, but it is worth it.

Although working the ring is one of my favorite things to do, the coolest memory of the weekend was being able to stand with my fellow board members in the sale ring along with Salsa, the Lot 1 Foundation Female. As a junior association, we are beyond thankful for all of the families that support the youth. We extend our upmost gratitude to the Jensen family and Dylan and Chelsea Evans for donating an amazing heifer that represents their operation as well as the Hereford industry as a whole.

We would also like to thank the tremendous support from Jonny and Toni Harris, Winton Jr. Harris and Oscar I. Harris; C&L Ranch, the Steve and Jill Folkman family; and RGR Cattle for purchasing the Lot 1 Foundation Female in the Mile High Sale. Without support like that from these families and individuals, we would not be the junior association we are today.

This has been a great start to the year, and I look forward to many more board and Hereford events that are coming up in 2016. HW

The Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) is known for bringing friends and families together. The 2015 National Hereford Women (NHW) Youth Heifer Award reunited friends who haven’t seen one another in nearly 20 years.

Becky (King) Spindle was a board member of the former American Junior Hereford Association (AJHA) and Rindy (Tipton) West was an AJHA member from the Nebraska panhandle who met through mutual friends.

“It is one of those neat Hereford stories, we just really hit it off,” Rindy says. “It’s all about making friends across the country.”

Rindy and Becky reconnected when Jhett, Rindy’s 10-year-old son, had his name drawn at the 2015 JNHE to receive the heifer credit, which was donated by Bill King Ranch of Stanley, N.M.

Jhett was very excited to win the heifer credit, especially after he realized what he had won. He and his older brother, Braden, have started showing Hereford cattle from their grandparents in the past three to four years. They want to start their own Hereford herds, and Jhett is

looking forward to adding his first owned Hereford heifer.

The West family, Sheridan, Wyo., have appreciated Bill King Ranch working with them to provide pictures and information about available heifers. Due to Jhett’s busy sports schedule, they have not been able to travel to Bill King Ranch to select Jhett’s heifer but will be making a final decision very soon.

Rindy noted how much they enjoy Hereford events. Braden and Jhett participated in their first JNHE in 2015 and are all geared up for traveling to Madison, Wis., for “A Hereford Scene in 2016.” In 2015 they participated in the speech contests, basketball tournament, fitting clinic and much more.

Rindy appreciates how much juniors can gain in leadership, speaking opportunities and making connections across the country, while at JNHE. Jhett and Braden’s

little sister, Wynn, 4, will also be in attendance to “help with fitting.”

Becky Spindle noted that Bill King Ranch is proud to donate the credit for the heifer award. The ranch has been raising Herefords for 48 years. Bill King is a past president of the American Hereford Association, and Becky is a past director of the NHW, having served as vice president.

“The Hereford breed and people have been good to us and we are happy to help a junior continue to grow their herd and encourage their continued participation,” Becky says.

The NHW Youth Heifer Award is selected by random drawing of all checked-in participants at the JNHE. The winner receives a $1,500 credit toward the purchase of a heifer. An additional $500 may be awarded if the junior shows the heifer at the next JNHE and submits an essay about his/her experience to the NHW.

For those interested in partnering with the NHW on future Youth Heifer Awards, please contact Jill Folkman. For more information, contact Jill at 920-474-7430 or [email protected]. HW

“Manager” and “leader” are two words often used interchangeably, and while management and leadership are both important to business success, they are not the same thing, emphasizes Rick LaPlante.

As a popular speaker on the topic of leadership, LaPlante has had firsthand experience — he had a successful 19-year career with Microsoft and guided development and differentiation between management and leadership roles. Today, LaPlante runs his own cattle company near Powell, Wyo., with his wife and family.

“People think they are the same, but they are fundamentally different,” LaPlante says. He describes management as “dealing with current complexities.” For example, he points out, beef producers “manage” grazing, herd health and breeding strategies for their operations.

Conversely, “Leadership is about change — creating the environment for change,” LaPlante says.

LaPlante further explains that management is about predictability, reliability, control and efficiency in managing systems. He notes that managers want repeatable production outcomes — cows bred at roughly the same time each year and weaned calves to perform and weigh at minimum what they did the year before; managers don’t like different. He identifies leadership as “creating a reality that wouldn’t likely exist without intervention.”

He says, “Leadership is a totally different set of skills than management.” And he adds, “We don’t teach it [leadership], in high school or college, and we should.”

He also notes that ranchers often take the time to transfer or teach

management skills like riding, roping and other traditions. But he says, “We don’t spend a lot of time passing on leadership — and we should.”

Leadership is…LaPlante says at the core of leadership is understanding that it is about people — as opposed to systems and processes.

He offers this analogy: Management relates to the way producers AI (artificial insemination) or graze, which LaPlante points out deals with policies and procedures. He says, “People are involved in the system; you give management plans to people to do, but it’s not about the people.”

Leadership, he explains, is about thinking of the future and creating the scaffolding or structure for people to use to make innovative choices and to do things differently. “Leadership is all about change, messiness, risk, movement and creating desire. It is always 100% about people.”

He adds, “Leadership is about trying something even if you don’t know the outcome, which is why leadership and management are often at odds.”

In a nutshell, LaPlante says, “Leadership is about intentionality and figuring out where you are headed.”

LaPlante notes that leadership is an acquired skill. He also believes leadership can, and should, be developed and can exist at all levels within an organization. LaPlante says, “Anyone can have a compelling vision of the future, not just one guy at the top. It’s important to get everybody in the game.”

Most important, LaPlante says is that leaders must motivate, inspire and influence thinking, creativity

and engagement. And he says the most important part of helping foster leadership among employees is that their employeer can’t push them down when they share an idea. Otherwise, he says, it becomes like a game of Whack-A-Mole, and pretty soon people won’t pop their head up to share ideas.

Ready to changeLaPlante notes that in the farm and ranch business, owners often convince themselves that their businesses are not like other Fortune 500 companies, but he says the reality is farms and ranches do face the same issues as other businesses. And he shares this: If you sell 500 head of calves annually, you are in the top 30% of businesses in the U.S. by revenue. Thus, he poses the question: “Are you running your business like the top 30% in the U.S.?”

He adds, “We cannot have world class corporations without exceptional management. But, we cannot have even better or different world class businesses if we don’t have [and implement] leadership.”

To move forward, LaPlante advises individuals to inventory the challenges that face their business and then: 1) Decide if those challenges

require management or leadership.

2) Determine who is the right person to provide the leadership.

3) Decide if that individual has the necessary leadership skills or how that person can get those skills.

4) Schedule time to provide the leadership to others on the team. HW

100 Years at National Western

One family’s centennial show legacy continues.

by Danielle Beard Hayden

A century ago the DeBerard/Orr family began exhibiting at the National Western Stock

Show (NWSS) in Denver. What began as one man’s passion for exhibiting Hereford cattle grew into a legacy his descendants are still carrying on today.

Creating a stock show foundationKnown as the “King of Cattle” in show circles, Fred C. DeBerard of Kremmling, Colo., began showing cattle in the early 1900s, as it was the best way for cattlemen to advertise their herd and

to become aware of what customers were looking to buy at the time.

DeBerard, who was quoted on several occasions as stating “good cattle pay the way,” chose the showring as one way to demonstrate

the quality of his cattle compared to that of others’. At the NWSS, DeBerard was best known for carloads and feeder calf pens. Since, at that time, cattle were brought to the show by railroad, carloads of calves consisted of 20 head.

In 1951, when he was honored with the Man of the Year in Livestock award, he credited his mantra

“Good cattle pay the way.”Fred C. DeBerard


to his success in being able to expand his herd and landholdings during the Great Depression.

DeBerard and his wife, Myrtle, had several sons and daughters. Daughter Sarah DeBerard married Ted Orr; both were instrumental in helping on her parents’ ranch. Of Ted and Sarah’s four children — Jack, Jean, Ronnie and Myrtle — Jack and Jean were the two to take the most interest in the cattle.

DeBerard was inducted into the Hereford Hall of Fame in 1979 — one of the first — and grandson Jack Orr followed in his footsteps to receive the same honor 30 years later in 2009.

“And that’s really how the legacy began,” says Tonya (Orr) Pèrez, Pèrez Cattle Co., Nara Visa, N.M.

Pèrez is a granddaughter of Jack Orr. She and her two sisters, Kaycee (Orr) Hoffman and Katie (Orr) Egbert, are the current generation carrying on the family name at the NWSS.

“Out of Jack’s sons and daughters, my dad — Clair Orr — was the one who took to showing purebred cattle, and passed that on to Kaycee, Katie and I,” Pèrez continues.

A tale of three sistersGrowing up attending the NWSS as part of a family with rich history at the show, Pèrez has fond memories from the Yards.

“Since we were one of the oldest families, we were one of the first pens in the yard on the train track side,” she says. “Some of my fondest

Sisters Tonya (Orr) Pèrez, Katie (Orr) Egbert and Kaycee (Orr) Hoffman share fond memories from the National Western Stock Show.

continued on page 38...


memories growing up were playing in the yards and putting pennies on the railroad tracks.”

For Pèrez, the NWSS holds a dear place in her heart.

“I’ve been attending the show since before I was born,” she laughs. “I even met my husband, Kyle, there.”

Pèrez, Hoffman and Egbert all married into ranching families, but while Pèrez and Hoffman were able to continue in the purebred show world, Egbert’s life set down a different path.

“Coy, my husband, a pilot, grew up in Montana on his parents’ place, and he knew he wanted to raise his own children on a ranch but was not afforded the land and assets that customarily get passed on from generation to generation, so he joined the Air Force and just recently flies for Delta,” Egbert explains.

“We both have the ultimate goal of being able to afford a place of our own in which we can raise our children on and instill the values that go along with ranching. So our dreams of getting back to ranching are finally starting to take flight.”

Despite 10 years of Air Force life, Egbert has only missed one NWSS.

“I’ve attended 34 out of my 35 years,” she says. “It’s important to me, to be together as a family,

to work towards a common goal and celebrate those achievements as a family.”

According to Pèrez, having all the family together in Denver is important in order to pull off the amount of work it takes to be ready.

Denver, with its location and older facilities, is not the easiest to get cattle in and out of, but it’s just one of those shows cattlemen don’t miss. It’s the Super Bowl of cattle shows, she explains.

“It takes a massive crew to make all of it happen, Pèrez says. “We exhibit anywhere from 10 to 18 head and then Kaycee and, her husband (Jason of Hoffman Ranch, Thedford, Neb.) will exhibit 20 to 30 head. The rule of thumb is to have a person per every two animals, because with feeding, washing and clipping it is a full day’s job with that many head.”

All three sisters credit the support system of one another, the friends they have made over the years and their family for their success at the NWSS year after year.

But, the 2016 NWSS was a different year for the family.

“This was the first show without my dad,” Hoffman says.

Clair Orr, who recently passed away after a battle with cancer, was an instrumental part to his family’s show legacy.

“I’m not going to lie, it was a tough one to get through without him there, but we were able to push through it,” she reflects.

“Growing up, working with just my mom, dad and sisters, we had a close bond and created many memories, now that my dad is gone, those memories are even more cherished.”

Carrying on a legacyThe NWSS has been a family affair for the DeBerard/Orr family and the future looks to be no different. The three Orr sisters are now raising future stock show exhibitors of their own.

“It’s something we want to carry on, because it’s our heritage; our children will be the sixth generation,” Pèrez says. “This event is a family affair, between mine and my two sisters’ children, there are eight kids under the age of five.”

While the NWSS is still an event the family looks forward to, in this season of life, the show is a different experience for the Orr sisters.

“It’s exhausting,” Pèrez admitted. “I have a set of 2-year-old twins and with the rest of the kids, it’s crazy, but it’s also a lot of fun, just getting to all be together. In a few years the kids will start getting to show age and then watch out.”

Since Egbert’s life has been outside raising cattle since college, her role at the NWSS looks a little different.

In addition to ranching, Hoffman owns Bar None Hat Company, and Pèrez works for her parents’ company, AgTown Technologies.

“I am watching kids during the NWSS,” Egbert remarks. “Other than some partnership cattle, I don’t really have livestock in the shows, so it frees me up if Kaycee has a hat customer she needs to meet or if Tonya needs to run to take care of a client she does marketing for, I am there to help take care of their kids along with mine.”

Raising children at the NWSS is important to the Orr sisters, not only to give their children the same fond memories they shared, but to give them the opportunity to gain the character that raising livestock teaches children.

“My favorite memories growing up was morning chores with Tonya and Kaycee,” Egbert said. “We had a rotational system because we only had one blower, so one would wash, one would blow and the other would get to sleep in the wheel barrow. Yeah, there were fights, and there were times we didn’t want to help each other out, but there was a lot of laughter too. These times are what created the special bond we still have today.”

According to her, she is grateful for the family time together and for the sense of responsibility and accountability that comes from taking care of show stock.

Hoffman added she is excited for her children to share similar experiences.

“My hope for the future is that this family tradition continues so my children will grow up showing cattle,” she says. “Showing cattle has come a long ways since my childhood — some ways good, others it has gotten out of hand — but what hasn’t changed is how much a child can learn and grow from showing.

“It’s amazing, being part of a family that has a hundred year history with National Western, getting to carry that forward and for our children to do the same, is quite something.” HW

Line 1 HerefordsOne of Fred C. DeBerard’s contributions to the livestock industry included the formation of Line 1 Hereford cattle.

Wanting to produce cattle that could “get fat on grass,” DeBerard’s great great-granddaughter Tonya (Orr) Pèrez says he purchased Advance Domino 13th from Mousel Brothers of Cambridge, Neb., for $1,000. Domino 13 was used heavily in the herd, siring Advance Domino 20 and Advance Domino 54.

In 1934 the U.S. Range Experiment Station in Miles City, Mont., purchased Advanced Domino 20 and Advance Domino 54, who became the foundation sires of the Line 1 Herefords.

The research done with Line 1 has contributed to the better understanding of maternal genetic effects in beef cattle. The influence of a cow’s milk production on the growth of her calf is one well-recognized example.

According to Pèrez, Line 1 achieved nationwide prominence and popularity in the American Hereford Industry in the 1970s. Line 1 genetics are still heavily influencing the Hereford industry today. HW

The Ranch with a PlanThe Ranch with a Plan

The Cornelius family’s success on Coyote Ridge Ranch is due to their attention to detail and focus on end goals.

by Bridget Beran

While luck and happy accidents can be helpful, at Coyote Ridge Ranch nothing is left to chance. Just outside of LaSalle,

Colo., the Cornelius family bases every step they take on their goals and the plan set forth each year.

“You have to have a goal of what you’re trying to accomplish,” Hampton Cornelius says. “I think a lot of people get into the business and they get kind of scattered and go in different directions. From that goal, you can move in the right direction instead of a lot of different directions. You have to have a plan and a goal. As you evolve you may change your direction but you have to have a plan.”

The Cornelius family has been planning since the late 1970s when they got their first couple

of calves as part of a 4-H project. From small beginnings, Coyote Ridge quickly grew into an operation with 150 head of cattle..

“Herefords just fit for us. We had a family vote and we all liked the cattle,” Hampton says. “Disposition was a big factor because we were all fairly young. As we investigated, we liked the fertility and the functionality the breed provided and they fit the western environment well.”

Hampton’s sister, Katie, says she remembers traveling when she was younger to visit different facilities and breeders across the West to see what breed and what genetics would be the best fit for the Cornelius’ ranch. She and Hampton agreed that Hereford breeders stood out because of their helpfulness, trustworthiness and integrity.


“Hereford breeders had the most integrity and we were the most comfortable dealing with them,” Hampton explains. “We investigated what we thought were the best genetics in the U.S. and Canada. From there we made some purchases and investments in cattle from herds that we thought were reputable and fit our long-term goals. We started there and we’ve evolved through the years, slowly increasing our numbers while keeping a pretty heavy hand on quality.”

Doing their homeworkResearch has always been a big part of the long-term plan, and Jane Evans, the matriarch of the Cornelius clan, says that she and Hampton do thorough research before making breeding decisions. From expected progeny differences (EPDs) to videos of cattle, they make sure that every animal that enters their breeding program fits their long-term goals of performance.

“We do a lot of research on the cattle we buy with technology, but you have to go beyond the technology and find out if the cattle back the numbers up,” Hampton says. “That’s where I think a lot of people get mixed up because they’ll pick cattle based on numbers but the cattle don’t match the numbers. When you get out in a ranch, it doesn’t really matter what their EPDs are if they don’t work. Cattle still have to perform in real situations.”

Performance is just the first standard on which Coyote Ridge cattle are judged. If they pass the standards set for performance, then EPDs have their own set of standards for cattle to meet. Hampton also points out that it’s vital for producers to know what their customers want and need, while also breeding cattle that they believe in for the long haul.

“A lot of our customers like the same kind of cattle we do, so we try to make sure we’re producing what’s going to work, both for them and for us,” Hampton says. “We’ve got to stand by industry standards on just about everything. We’re working to improve on all traits while still producing versatile cattle that work for the commercial cattleman and are functional in a western ranch environment.”

Even throughout the tough years in the 1980s, Jane says their

commitment to performance and forward-thinking helped their ranch remain stable through those years. Hampton agrees that building a nucleus of repeat customers allowed them to continue culling 15 to 20% of their cow herd even during tough years. Culling allowed them to continue to improve the quality of their herd, even if they couldn’t build up numbers.

“We were able to continue selling our bulls and maintain our prices. We weathered the storm,” says Hampton. “When demand started picking up, our cow herd was in that much of a better place because we concentrated on performance traits, collecting all the data, and we started ultrasounding. We had a lot of years in a row where we had done all the data from top to bottom and our cows got better because of it.”

Pictured (l to r) are Mackenzie Mayo; Hampton and Kay Cornelius; John Hampton Cornelius holding Brayson Mayo; Jane Evans Cornelius and Katie Mayo. Not pictured are Lee and Lexi Mayo.



Paying close attention to the type of cattle they were bringing into the herd was also beneficial. Jane recalls a time when they utilized a bloodline of cattle that they loved the look of, but the feet of the cattle family weren’t suited to the mountains of Colorado. These types of issues are quickly weeded out of the Coyote Ridge herd.

Hampton says they focus on keeping cattle functional for the commercial bull market and now predominantly retain their own females, rather than buying from outside sources. A high demand for black baldie calves and Herefords’ ability to adapt to Colorado’s altitude has helped keep Coyote Ridge selling bulls for the last 35 years.

Power of private treatyHowever, one big part of their success is their ability to market cattle through private treaty. From show heifers to herd bulls, the Cornelius family is deeply involved in the sale of each and every animal that leaves its place. Guaranteeing their bulls was something that Jane says pushed them even harder to ensure that every animal they produced was top-notch.

“It teaches you very quickly that you can’t have bad feet and you have to have functional traits because the last thing you want to do is drive 200 miles in the mountains to pick up a bull that’s lame and replace him,” Jane explains.

Hampton advises that producers looking to improve their private treaty marketing ensure that cattle are sorted into management groups so that when potential buyers come to look at cattle, they have an organized buying experience. Coyote Ridge sorts their bulls into three different price groups to help buyers stay within their budget. He also stresses

the importance of understanding what buyers are looking for and helping them find the right animal to achieve those goals.

“You have to be able to understand their operation as well as your own to help them find what will work for their operations,” Hampton says. “You have to be really honest. I’m sometimes too straightforward but it’s important to be honest about what the cattle can do. If you’re dishonest or misrepresent them, as soon as they get them home, they’re going to figure it out. Ask what they want and what they want to achieve and try to lead them to cattle that will work.”

Utilizing new technology is also a big part of Coyote Ridge’s marketing plan. They video each cow with her calf right before weaning so when they market the calf and potential buyers ask about the maternal side, they have a direct reference.

Jane says these videos have been especially helpful when marketing to seedstock producers at the pen show at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. She says they try to provide as

much information as they would want when shopping for a bull. Hampton agrees, saying that it’s helpful to step into a customer’s shoes and to consider what kind of information he would want to see.

Hampton also says it’s important to not make rash decisions and really be sure the cattle purchased today fit into the operation’s plan long-term.

“You need to decide what kind of cattle you want to produce, how you’re going to sell them, who your target audience is, and make sure the cattle you purchase fit into

those parameters,” Hampton says. “When people get in the heat of the moment, they get in over their head financially. Try to deal with people that you’re comfortable with that have integrity and you’re probably going to end up where you want to be.”

Working with the right people is what led the Cornelius family into the Hereford business, and it is still something they stress in their business today. However, their own integrity and honesty have shown through to their customers.

“We try to stay in touch with our customers in a genuine fashion about how things are going. We’re always excited when new people come to us but we have a lot of repeat business,” Katie explains. “We have a lot of people who for the first five or 10 years that they bought cattle from us, they came and sifted through everything. Now they just call and tell us what they’re looking for and ask us to put it on the trailer. They trust that we know what they want and are looking out for their best interests.”

You need to decide what kind of cattle you want to produce, how you’re going to sell them, who your target audience is, and make sure the cattle you purchase fit into those parameters.

— Hampton Cornelius

Hampton Cornelius says private treaty sales have played a major role in their success.

”

“


Katie says the most important thing when marketing private treaty is making yourself available to customers. Prior to the NWSS, the family works to pre-market by sending out an e-mail blast to past and potential buyers. The blast covers everything from what animals are going to be at the show to a spreadsheet on all available bulls to a selection of their elite heifers to appeal to each segment of their buyers. Though she says taking the time isn’t always easy, it’s more than worth it.

“There’s nothing more rewarding than other people being successful with our cattle,” says Katie. “It’s fun to see other people be successful with your genetics.”

Hampton agrees saying that to him, success is helping kids who are buying show heifers and guiding them to animals so that they’re not buying new heifers year after year; instead they’re raising their own.

“If you can get them started raising their own cattle, then they become a breeder for life instead of just a paycheck for a couple years,” Hampton says. “That’s how you build breed success, raise the right kind of cattle, get them in the right hands and let them build on that success. I think you have to look at the big picture and understand that long-term success overrides a short-term paycheck.”

Creating a legacyLooking at the long-term is increasingly important as Hampton’s son, John Hampton, becomes a bigger part of day-to-day operations and as Katie’s stepdaughters and son become more involved. A family operation through and through, Katie says family conversations almost always revolve around cattle. Although Katie works away from the ranch, she says she stays in regular contact with Hampton and Jane about what’s going on. Most importantly, they have a yearly family meeting to discuss the goals and direction for the coming year.

Involving the next generation to the fullest extent is also important in helping to further the longevity of the ranch. John Hampton now has three generations of his former show cattle that are in the herd and he’s become a vital asset in getting things done, especially during calving season. Jane recalls a few years ago when during a snow storm John Hampton brought more than a dozen calves to the barn with his horse and calf sled. He returned to the house, wind and snow burnt, but happy.

“Some things we do are fun, some things aren’t fun,” says Hampton. “We try to involve him in the fun things but you have to do the not fun stuff to learn work ethic. In the end, if you go through enough experiences you either learn to like it or you don’t and so far he’s liked it.”

Katie says that building this type of legacy has always been important to them and it’s wonderful to see it becoming reality.

“Over the years, we felt like we didn’t have the legacy of some of the producers of whom we think very highly of and didn’t have the numbers of other people whom we think very highly of and yet to be able to still be considered among those names, there is so much pride in that,” Katie says. “The fact that we have still stuck to our original goals of having a productive cow herd based on the females is also very rewarding.”

Though Jane laughs that she’s just proud they haven’t killed each other yet, she’s also proud of the functionality of their cow herd and notes that both the horned and polled champion heifers at the Junior National Hereford Expo had Coyote Ridge Ranch genetics in their bloodlines. Katie agreed, saying that it’s fun to walk through the barns at shows and see CRR prefixes on so many animals.

For Hampton, each proud moment is another stepping stone in the plan, and he says they’re constantly working to improve their herd and to maintain their long-term goal of staying in the Hereford business. He says their plan for the future is to remain fluid with the industry, to strive to continue to improve, to focus on the performance side of their herd, to make sure cattle always match up with their numbers and to continue having happy customers.

What’s in store for Coyote Ridge Ranch? Only time will tell, but the people there have a plan for whatever life throws at them. HW

Save Time with MyHerdThe AHA’s online registry system allows breeders to do more faster.

by Sara Gugelmeyer

When George Chandler called the American Hereford Association

(AHA) a year or so ago with a record-keeping question, he wasn’t planning to sign up for AHA’s online registry system, MyHerd.org. But after trying it, he is sure glad he did.

MyHerd is a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week virtual office where breeders have all the tools needed to conduct business with AHA at their convenience. The system provides members with a multitude of features including real-time calf registration, electronic animal transfer, online bill paying, herd inventory maintenance, artificial

insemination (AI) certificate release and the capability to view and download lists of animals and customers, among much more.

Chandler is the patriarch of Chandler Herefords, a multi-generational registered and commercial cattle operation near Baker City, Ore. His family has been raising cattle since 1889, so tradition is important, but when it comes to adopting technology to make things simpler, he says MyHerd sure is handy.

“You’ve got everything at your fingertips as far as records with MyHerd. Everything is there. You can do it at home and not have to contact the Association to get things done. It’s more convenient on both ends,” he says.

He admits there is some time involved in learning the process, but it’s well worth it. “It takes a little bit of a learning curve to get going on it. When I signed up they sent me a six-page tutorial to go through. It helped and I can always go back and refer to it,” Chandler says.

And, of course, if it’s during business hours, any member can pick up the phone and get help from Association staff, as well.

A great example of how MyHerd helps members conduct Hereford business any time is the AI certificate release feature. For the first time, members can release AI certificates to their customers on AI-permitted bulls in real-time. Once the AI certificate is released on MyHerd, it’s available immediately to the customer. No additional processing is required from the AHA. The AI certificate is available for the customer to use instantly.

“You’ve got everything at your fingertips as far as records with MyHerd. Everything is there. You can do it at home and not have to contact the Association to get things done. It’s more convenient on both ends.”

— George Chandler

How to release AI certificates:1) Select the AI (artificial insemination) permitted

bull from the animal list.

2) Enter the “Number of Certificates to Release,” confirm release date and click “Select Animals” button.

3) Select a member to release the certificate to by clicking on the member search option (Member Search or Personal List).

4) Click the “Select Member” button.

5) Click “Update” when certificate release details are complete to release the AI certificate(s) to the selected member.


“That’s one less step that you have to do,” Chandler says. “You don’t have to contact the Association. You can do it right from your computer. It’s the same way with transfers. You can transfer cattle yourself. You used to have to fill out a paper copy and send it in and the turn around time was several days. This way you can do it and it’s done that day.”

The AI certificate release feature has proven really helpful to Pete Atkins of Atkins Herefords in Tea, S.D., as well. “Just this morning I had to release five AI certificates,” Atkins says. “Once you have some familiarity with the system, it is very easy.”

The quick turnaround and convenience are very helpful for most breeders on MyHerd, especially when releasing AI certificates. Atkins adds, “I like

the fact that it has a list of members you have previously worked with so it is very simple to find past customers or look up new ones.” HW

AI certificate frequently asked questions1) What does it cost to release AI certificates with MyHerd?

The cost to release AI certificates on MyHerd is the same as releasing certificates with AHA customer service, $15; however, members will find releasing AI certificates online to be more efficient.

2) How many AI certificates may I release at one time on MyHerd?The AI certificate feature allows members to enter the number of certificates they want to release.

3) Why do only some of my bulls show up on the animal list?The animal list only displays AI permitted bulls owned by MyHerd users and their linked accounts. A Hereford bull must have an AI permit issued by the Association in order for its owner to release AI certificates. The Association must have a DNA profile report on file for the bull and he must be parent verified to his sire and dam before an AI bull permit can be issued.

4) Can I use MyHerd to release AI certificates even though I use a herd management system (CattleMax, Gem, etc.)?MyHerd works great in addition to a herd management system because it offers features a herd management system cannot provide like animal transfer, AI certificate release and online American Hereford Association bill payment. The MyHerd team recommends that producers use only one system to submit registrations and Whole Herd Total Performance Record (TPR™) data; otherwise, their herd data could become out-of-synch on their herd management system. Contact the MyHerd team at [email protected] to learn more about how to use MyHerd with your herd management system.

5) Does the “Available AI Certificates” page reflect the number of certificates my linked accounts have available?The “Available AI Certificates” page lists all certificates available including linked accounts. The available AI certificates are listed by name and registration number with the number of certificates available. HW

Available AI certificatesNot only can members release AI certificates from MyHerd, but they can also view their available AI certificates. The “Available AI Certificates” page lists the bulls and number of certificates available to use. The list reflects all certificates released to the primary user and linked accounts (associated herds).

How to view available AI certificates: Click on the tab “Herd Details” and select the drop down menu option “Available AI Certificates.”

How to use an available AI certificate: MyHerd makes it easy to register AI calves. When an AI calf if entered for registration MyHerd looks for an available AI certificate and a notification displays with a warning message the AI certificate will be used. Click the override button to use the AI certificate and to complete the registration.

How do I sign up to use MyHerd.org?To sign up for MyHerd, e-mail your AHA member number to [email protected] or contact the AHA customer service department for more information about the system and its features.

Excitement was in the brisk Colorado air as Hereford breeders and enthusiasts broke

records in the Yards and on the Hill at the National Western Stock Show Jan. 14-16 in Denver. A total of 802 Herefords were exhibited throughout the three-day event, which is an increase of 24 head compared to 2015. There were 349 head in the open show, 151 in the junior show, 43 pens of bulls, 29 heifer pens and nine carloads.

Hereford activities got underway in the Stadium Arena on the Hill with the bull show on Thursday, Jan. 14, judged by Tyler Cates and Brian

Mile High Night SaleCompleting the day was the Mile High Night National Hereford Sale in the Stadium Arena that grossed $848,500. An estimated 5,000 attended the sale on the stadium floor.

“It was another solid Mile High Night Sale for the Hereford breed in Denver,” says Joe Rickabaugh, American Hereford Association (AHA) director of seedstock marketing. “The sale atmosphere and layout once again created enormous excitement and momentum for the Hereford breed.”

The Hereford offering was elite, and the bidding proved it. When auctioneers Eddie Burks and Matt Sims silenced the gavel for the final time, $848,500 had been spent. The 47 live lots grossed $771,000 with an average of $16,404. The three embryo lots averaged $7,583. One flush commanded $12,000, and 10 semen lots averaged $4,275. For more on the Mile High Night Sale, see Page 82.

More than 5,000 attended the Mile High Night National Hereford Sale on the stadium floor.

Lowell Atwood Honored with Innovator AwardLowell Atwood, Stanford, Ky., was presented an American Hereford Association (AHA) Innovator Award during the National Western Stock Show Hereford Carload and Pen Show Jan. 15 in Denver. Atwood was chosen because of his contribution to the Hereford industry.

Atwood has coordinated the Kentucky Hereford-Influenced Feeder Calf sale since the program’s inception in 2009. From the beginning, the bi-annual sale has been a great success, in large part due to Atwood’s commitment. The first sale drew a large crowd and it has continued to do so each May and December since.

AHA Field Representative John Meents says, “Lowell Atwood is the backbone of the success of the Kentucky Hereford-Influenced Feeder Calf Sale. Cattle feeders that are looking for Hereford cattle that can go directly in the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) program purchase these cattle with confidence.

“Since the inception of this sale, the demand for Hereford genetics in the state of Kentucky has increased greatly. The price structure for Hereford bulls and females is at an all-time high in Kentucky. There have been cattle consigned to this sale from at least five states. Lowell has put his heart and soul into the Kentucky Hereford Influenced Feeder Calf Sale, and his effort has made a huge impact on the Hereford economy in that state,” Meents says.

Atwood is also a longtime Hereford breeder and he and his wife, Barbara, daughter, Beth, and grandsons Caleb and Luke Epling, operate Peyton Well Polled Herefords, which is the breeder of one of the great maternal sires in the breed — PW Victor Boomer P606. HW

Tom Lane Sr. Memorial Trophy presented by granddaughtersThe supreme champion Hereford award is presented in memory of Tom Lane Sr. to celebrate the spirit of competition, camaraderie and business opportunities that this great breed of cattle represents. Lane was a man of strongly held opinions. Among them were those that Hereford owners are the best you will ever find as friends and to do business with, that Herefords are the best bulls in the

industry, and that the National Western Stock Show is the finest stock show on earth.

This year, Lane’s six grandchildren were in attendance to present the supreme champion award to the Hirschfeld Group, Galesburg, Ill.; Barber Ranch, Channing, Texas; and Rylee and Bryden Barber, Channing Texas, owners of the winning bull, BR Nitro Aventus.

BR Nitro Aventus was selected the 2016 supreme champion Hereford and won the Tom Lane Sr. Memorial Trophy, which includes $2,000 endowed prize money. Pictured (l to r) are: American Hereford Association (AHA) Board member Curtis Curry; AHA President Sam Shaw; judges Tyler Cates and Brian Cates; National Hereford Queen Taylor Belle Matheny; Brett Barber; and Lane’s six grandchildren, Cindy Lane Fazio, Tracey Lane Russo, Kady Lane, Leslie Lane Allen, Christy Lane Plummer and Lyndsey Lane.

During the show on Saturday, Miranda Stotz, Skiatook, Okla., was presented the opportunity to attend the World Hereford Conference in Uruguay thanks to the OXO World Traveler Scholarship. The late Marilyn Matasovic made this scholarship possible in memory of her parents Estelle and John Matasovic of OXO Herefords in southwestern Colorado.

Miranda Stotz Awarded OXO World Traveler ScholarshipThe opportunity to attend a World Hereford Conference is one that Miranda Stotz, Skiatook, Okla., will now have, thanks to the OXO World Traveler Scholarship.

Stotz was presented the scholarship during the National Western Stock Show National Hereford Show Jan. 16 in Denver. The late Marilyn Matasovic made this scholarship possible in memory of her parents, Estelle and John Matasovic of OXO Herefords in southwestern Colorado.

The scholarship provides $4,500 in travel funds for Stotz to attend the 2016 World Hereford Conference in Montevideo, Uruguay, in April.

The Matasovics loved Herefords and travel. They attended nine World Hereford Conferences and enjoyed the wonders of faraway countries and customs. This inspired Matasovic to create the scholarship to honor her parents.

“On behalf of the Matasovics, we are pleased to present this award to Miranda,” says John Swiercinsky, grandson of Estelle and John Matasovic. “What differentiated her was that she saw how this conference is going to be able to change her life. This is what our family wanted to make possible. We are grateful for the opportunities provided and what this breed has meant to our family.”

Stotz, 20, is the daughter of Max and Karen Stotz. She is a junior at Tarleton State University, working toward a degree in animal science. She plans to earn her master’s degree in genetics.

She has been a National Junior Hereford Association and Junior Hereford Association of Oklahoma member for 13 years. She’s been showing cattle all her life and was the champion intermediate showman at the 2013 Junior National Hereford Expo. HW

Youth raise and show Hereford steers in NWSS Catch-A-Calf programThe longstanding Catch-A-Calf program at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver provides an avenue for youth to gain life skills learned while preparing a calf for the showring.

This year, the 80th of the program, 40 Hereford steers were shown by 40 youth on Jan. 10 to complete their yearlong participation in the program.

“The way Catch-A-Calf works is at the NWSS in January each year, there are kids who have applied for the program,” says Catch-A-Calf superintendent Molly Keil. “They are in 4-H and ages 12-19 from Wyoming, Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska.”

The kids selected to participate attend various rodeo performances where they are divided up into smaller groups to “catch a calf.” Molly says, “The calves are released and the kids are then challenged with attempting to catch a calf, which is just rodeo stock. They have to catch them with their hands — they cannot halter them or rope them.”

Molly says the calves they catch during the rodeo are not the ones they care for the rest of the year. “In May those kids return to Denver and are given a calf,” she explains. “We have a breakfast and introductory meeting for them to have a chance to meet their calf sponsor who can be an individual, families or businesses.”

The calves are then distributed and given to the participants at random. “Generally the calves are all from the same herd,” she says. “Last year we used Herefords and each year it varies.” The 2015 program used Hereford steers from Morgan Herefords, Burwell, Neb.

“Those kids return home with their steer to raise them for the next eight months until they bring it back to the following NWSS to exhibit,” Molly explains.

During those eight months, the youth are required to maintain a record book and write monthly letters to their sponsor. They are allowed to show their calves during that time, but Molly says the goal of the program is to bring them back to the NWSS the following January to exhibit, turn in their record book and participate in an interview.

“They’ll give a speech on a certain topic and answer questions from judges,” she says. “They participate in the show where they are judged on live placing and showmanship.”

The Catch-A-Calf show at the NWSS is a terminal show. Two winners are selected and the remainder go to slaughter.

“Winners of the program participate in the NWSS Junior Livestock Sale,” Molly says. “Those calves are not necessarily ones that place first in their class. We use a points system from all the aspects of the program to determine the top two. The only requirement is they must place in the top four in the live class.”

Molly says that not many of the 2015 participants had experience showing Hereford cattle and it was a good learning experience. In fact, most of the kids had never exhibited cattle before. “It’s to see if they are even interested in it,” she explains. “Most do continue on to exhibit cattle and purchase new calves. And a few have decided it’s not their thing. Some have exhibited cattle before but this is there to maybe show at the NWSS at a national show.”

What it all comes down to she says, is for the youth to gain life skills through recordkeeping, communications, public speaking and writing, etc.

“It’s more about the opportunities provided, the lessons learned and the relationships built through showing cattle,” she says. “We use the raising of a steer to accomplish all those things but in the end that’s a very small part of the project in terms of the lessons able to be learned. HW

Friday, Jan. 15, was the pen and carload show. Completing the day was the Mile High Night National Hereford Sale in the Stadium Arena that grossed nearly $848,000. Then Saturday, the Cates father-son duo judged the female show.

Throughout both the bull and female shows, Judge Tyler Cates commented on the depth of quality from top to bottom and said it was fun to evaluate so many good ones going through the ring.

“You as Hereford breeders should be absolutely feeling on top of the world right now,” he said prior to the selection of the grand champion polled female. “You should be so proud of and feel so good about where you are in the industry. You are at the highest you have ever been in your bull market and especially your junior market.”

Hereford youth and KJ BJ DWE 686Z Salsa 364C ET heated up

the Mile High Night Sale Friday, Jan. 15, in Denver. Stadium Arena was on fire with Hereford enthusiasm as the Lot 1 “Salsa” female entered the sale ring and topped the event at $80,000.

The Lot 1 Foundation Female has been highlighting the national Hereford sale in Denver the past eight years with a total of $615,000 raised to support the Hereford Youth Foundation of America’s (HYFA) mission. HYFA recognizes and rewards the development of life skills and values in the next generation.

Salsa was purchased by Jonny and Toni Harris, Winton Jr. Harris and Oscar I. Harris from Screven, Ga., in memory of Winton C. and Emily Harris; C&L Ranch, the Steve and Jill Folkman family, Ixonia, Wis.; and RGR Cattle, Carlinville, Ill.

The female was donated by Dylan and Chelsea Evans, Lebo, Kan., and Kevin, Sheila, Brady, Brooke and Ben Jensen, Courtland, Kan. She is a March 29, 2015, daughter of CRR 719 Catapult 109 and is out of KJ 968R Zsa Zsa 686Z ET by MSU TCF Revolution 4R. After the sale on Friday night, Salsa went on to win her class in the national Hereford show and was competitive in the spring heifer calf division.

“As I reflect back on what the Lot 1 female means to HYFA and

what we have accomplished with this program in eight short years, I can’t help but be super excited about what the future has in store for young Hereford leaders as we work to provide education, scholarship and leadership opportunities for them,” says Amy Cowan, director of youth activities and foundation for the American Hereford Association.

“Building future leaders is what the foundation is all about and this year’s Lot 1 story is such a great example of families giving back and more importantly what the foundation stands for. We couldn’t do what we do without donors like the Jensen and Evans families and the Salsa buyers group who stepped up to give back and to make a difference in our Hereford youth program.”

Kevin Jensen says the Hereford Association has done much for his family.

“Sheila and I have raised our kids in the Hereford breed and we’re so grateful for the experiences and opportunities they have had because of the National Junior Hereford Association and HYFA,” he says.

“Donating a female to support Hereford youth is our chance to say thank you to the Association for making such an impact on our family.”

HYFA is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit. Its mission is to support scholarship, education and leadership activities within the Hereford breed. For more information about the HYFA, contact the Amy Cowan at 816-842-3757 or [email protected]. HW

The 2016 Lot 1 Foundation Female raised $80,000 for Hereford youth during the Mile High Night Sale Jan 15. Purchasing the female were the Harris family, Screven, Ga.; the Steve and Jill Folkman family, Ixonia, Wis.; and RGR Cattle, Carlinville, Ill. Lot 1 — KJ BJ DWE 686Z Salsa 364C ET — was donated by Kevin, Sheila, Brady, Brooke and Ben Jensen, Courtland, Kan., and Dylan and Chelsea Evans, Lebo, Kan.


The spotlight was on Herefords this year at the National Western

Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver as the Mile High Night Hereford Sale was once again a highlight of the event. An estimated 5,000 attended the sale Jan. 15 on the stadium floor.

“It was another solid Mile High Night Sale for the Hereford breed in Denver,” says Joe Rickabaugh, American Hereford Association (AHA) director of seedstock marketing.

“The sale atmosphere and layout once again created enormous excitement and momentum for the Hereford breed. The credit goes to the consignors for bringing a valuable set of genetics to sell on an annual basis and the buyers who choose to invest in these genetics for their Hereford programs.”

Sale attendees came to see a show and that’s just what they got. The Hereford offering, as always, was elite, and the bidding proved it. When auctioneers Eddie Burks and Matt Sims, silenced the gavel for the final time, $848,500 had been spent. The 47 live lots grossed $771,000 with an average of $16,404. The three embryo lots averaged at $7,583. One flush commanded $12,000 and 10 semen lots averaged $4,275.

Kicking off the sale was Lot 1, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) donation heifer. She commanded $80,000 and was purchased by Jonny and Toni Harris, Winton Jr. Harris, and Oscar I. Harris from Screven, Ga., in memory of

Winton C. and Emily Harris; C&L Ranch, the Steve and Jill Folkman family, Ixonia, Wis.; and RGR Cattle, Carlinville, Ill.

Rounding out the top lots at $32,000 was Lot 28 by Medonte Highland Polled Herefords, Orilla, Ont., and Double J Polled Herefords, Maidstone, Sask. — MHPH 521X Action 106A, a Jan. 6, 2013, son of TH 122 71I Victor 521X ET.

Semen packages were sold on this proven herd bull and purchased by The Action Group: Journagan Ranch/Missouri State University, Mountain Grove, Mo.; McMurry Cattle Co., Billings, Mont., Ashewood Farm, Selmer, Tenn.; OJJ Cattle Ranch, Ririe, Idaho; Betz Farms Inc., Trenton, Mo.; MDF Polled Herefords, Northwood, Iowa; Atlas Farms, Grandview, Texas; Stickley & Sons, Parkersburg, Iowa; Creach Legacy Farms, Springfield, Mo.; Sinclair Conley, Surgoinsville, Tenn.; Four L Farms, Atwood, Tenn.; JS Ranch, Tappen, N.D.; Mead Farms, Barnett, Mo.; Phillips Renner Farms, Richmond, Mo.; Roth Hereford Farm, Windsor, Mo.; Jackson Herefords, Mechanicsville, Iowa; Stuber Ranch, Bowman, N.D.; Woessner Farm Polled Herefords, St. James, Mo.; and Wooden Shoe Farms, Blackfoot, Idaho.

“Once again a big thanks goes to everyone who helped turn the stadium floor into a sale arena in just over an hour,” Rickabaugh says.

“Thanks goes out to the Pennsylvania bunch, Express Ranch crew, Colorado State University crew, National Western staff, AHA board of directors, National Junior Hereford Association board members, many sale consignors and AHA staff for making this happen in record time. Your help before and after the sale is greatly appreciated — thank you!” HW


Finding his passion at a young age and pursuing it with intense dedication, hard work and

enthusiasm is what led Geoff Andras, Okmulgee, Okla., to be recognized by his fellow Hereford breeders as the 2016 Herdsman of the Year at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver.

“Being named herdsman of the year was a total shock and completely unexpected,” Andras says. “There are some guys that haven’t been honored with this award that I really respect. It was a humbling experience.”

Andras was selected for the award by his peers — other Hereford herdsmen and breeders — and was honored

prior to the selection of the supreme champion Hereford on Jan. 16.

Hereford heritageAs a sixth-generation Hereford breeder, Geoff soon realized raising and showing cattle is how he wants to spend his days.

“My family has been in the Hereford business for more than 100 years,” Andras says. “On the Andras side, my great grandfather had Herefords in Illinois. JC Andras & Sons showed and won all the major box car days in the early 1900s through the 60s. On my mother’s side is the legendary Beartooth Ranch — so I guess you could say it’s a family tradition.”

Andras started out showing Herefords at a young age in Montana with his parents J.C. and Deb Andras, now of Checotah, Okla.; brother, John; and sister, Whitney.

“I started out at the local level in Montana through 4-H and FFA and the junior Hereford associations, and was lucky enough to help some people at national shows,” Andras says.

“Growing up in Montana, I was lucky enough to run around with Russell and Stacy Dietz, Billings, Mont., Bodie Winters and Brian Barragree, Columbus, Mont. Tom and Cindy Weimer, Susanville, Calif. also took me under their wings. They all encouraged my passion for showing as far as wanting to go and be involved and try my hardest at what I’m doing.”

Between his junior and senior years of high school, Geoff worked at Langford Herefords in Okmulgee. “I started helping in the show barn and then came back after I graduated and took a year off of school,” he says. “I attended Connors State College in Warner, Okla., and after I was done there I decided show cattle and working with cattle was my passion.”

From that time, Geoff grew into his current role as herdsman. “I’ve been fortunate enough to be herdsman at Langford’s,” he says. “I do everything from calving cows to the preparation of sale and show cattle; I just kind of touch every aspect of the operation.”

Langford Herefords is a seedstock operation. “Our main business is selling range bulls to the commercial sector,” Andras says. “We have two production sales a year. There’s lots of really good

cattle that can compete both in the showring and in the real world. That’s what I like about Langford’s cattle.”

Love of the industryAndras says he enjoys all aspects of being in the cattle industry, but he especially appreciates seeing hard work result in a successful run. “My favorite part is taking one from start to finish,” he says. “Seeing where you start with one and knowing with hard work what they will be at the finish line is what I love.”

He adds that it all starts with selection in the pasture. “It begins with finding a heifer or bull calf you think has a lot of potential — from its breeding to its phenotype. Taking them into the barn, working hair, feeding and spending the time it takes — it’s just exciting to watch the progression.”

Andras says each day what he does, and what other cattlemen do, is to give back to agriculture. “The show cattle industry is just a small portion of the cattle industry, but it’s a way to market programs and it’s a way to advertise cattle to the commercial man and that’s what it’s all about.”

Learning from the bestAndras credits numerous people who have helped him become the herdsman he is today. “I’ve been fortunate enough to have a lot of good people throughout the years lend advice and a helping hand,” he says.

“Two of my greatest idols are my dad, J.C. (1981 Herdsman of the Year), and

my grandpa, George Ellis of Beartooth Ranch in Columbus, Mont. I look up to them more than anybody. Those two were very influential in my life. Though I never got to spend a lot of time with my grandpa, he was always in my mind pushing me. He was an idol not only to me but to a lot of people in the beef industry and cattle business. And I was fortunate enough to be named after him. He was one of the greatest of his time and still highly respected.”

Andras says he has been fortunate enough to work side by side with folks like Matt Copeland, Nara Visa, N.M.; Chad Breeding, Miami, Texas; Mark Kelley, Ennis, Texas; Wes Horn, Stillwater, Okla., and many others.

“Of course I really appreciate Leon, Suzy and Watson Langford for believing in me to get the job done right,” Andras says. “And my brother has pushed me to succeed. John has always been there for me with that tough love and his pushing has made me better.”

Andras plans to continue in the industry. “Showing cattle is a passion of mine,” he says. “It’s what I love and enjoy doing. It’s not just about the banners, it’s about taking your program to the next level and advertising it to the commercial man who can improve their programs and increase profits. That’s what it’s all about.” HW

Andras, Whitney Andras, Geoff, Deb Andras and John Andras; and Joanie Kramer and Watson and Cash Langford.

Tips from the Hereford Herdsman of the YearGeoff Andras, Okmulgee, Okla., was recently named the 2016 Herdsman of the Year at the National Western Stock Show. He shares these tips with youth for success in the industry.

“It’s all about hard work and preparation. Every bit of getting show cattle ready is done at home. From the feeding to hair work to practicing showing — it’s all done at home.

“Never give up with what you want to do. There’s always going to be hard days and things that might want to set you back a little bit, but stay true to what you believe in and how you want to do it and it will always carry you on.” HW

Cattlemen Set Sail for San DiegoHighlights of the 2016 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show.

More than 6,700 cattlemen and women from

across the country gathered in San Diego, Jan. 26-29 for the 2016 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show. The event is the largest annual gathering of the beef industry.

The convention hosted cattle industry enthusiasts for a week of education,

entertainment, committee meetings and

policy development. The event included joint and individual meetings sponsored by five industry organizations: NCBA, the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion

& Research Board (CBB), the American National CattleWomen Inc. (ANCW), CattleFax and the National Cattlemen’s Foundation (NCF).

“The convention and trade show is a great opportunity for cattle industry members to come together to network, create policy for the industry, and to have some fun,” said 2015 NCBA President Philip Ellis.

The American Hereford Association (AHA) and Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) LLC booth in San Diego provided a place for cattlemen and Hereford enthusiasts to visit with AHA staff about Hereford’s advantages. Educational and promotional materials were available to cattlemen to pick up and learn more about how Hereford cattle can fit in their program.


In addition to attending a record-breaking trade show, cattlemen heard from keynote speaker Navy SEAL Rob O’Neill, who shared what he has learned during his more than 400 combat missions across four theaters of war, attended Cattlemen’s College, participated in industry trend discussions and attended committee meetings to take part in grassroots policy development.

LeadershipTracy Brunner, Kansas cattle producer, succeeded Philip Ellis as NCBA president and will lead the organization’s policy work and oversee efforts undertaken as a contractor to the Beef Checkoff Program.

Brunner, a fourth-generation cattleman from Ramona, Kan., expressed optimism about the organization’s momentum, saying he would continue to build on the organization’s success of the prior year.

“The American beef industry is stronger than it has ever been,” Brunner said. “We have the right people growing the right product in the right way. And, we have the right organizational culture and structure. We have promotion and advocacy, research and education. We have public policy efforts to ensure beef producers are represented in the halls of Congress and at the table as laws are made. We are committed to not only protecting and promoting the beef business of today, but even more importantly, the beef business of tomorrow. We have an exciting year ahead as international demand for American beef continues to rise and trade remains high priority. It’s a great time to be in the beef business and a part of this great organization.”

Craig Uden, Elwood, Neb., was voted the NCBA president-elect, and Kevin Kester, Parkfield, Calif., is the new NCBA vice president. Steve Hanson, Elsie, Neb., was elected chairman of the NCBA Federation

Division, and Jerry Effertz, Velva, North Dakota., is the new Federation vice chairman. The new NCBA Policy Division chairman is Jennifer Houston of Sweetwater, Tenn., and Joe Guild, Reno, Nev., is the new policy vice chairman.

Cattlemen’s CollegeTwo days of robust producer education set the tone for the Cattle Industry Convention Jan. 26-27. Designed specifically for cattlemen and women, Cattlemen’s College, sponsored by Zoetis

CattleFax predicts market shock is nearly over; turbulence still aheadInsights into recent market price shocks and the potential for future turbulence were discussed with more than 2,000 beef producers at the CattleFax Outlook Session held during the Cattle Industry Convention.

The downward spiral from the late 2014 and early 2015 record-high cattle prices has been tough for many in the business, but CattleFax CEO Randy Blach said the steepest portion of the market correction has passed.

He explained that tighter protein supplies and stronger exports created the ‘perfect storm’ for the cattle market to reach the extreme highs. Animal health challenges limited poultry and pork production in 2014 — creating the tightest per capita U.S. net protein supply in the last 20 years.

“We are coming off historic highs in the cattle market, created by unique conditions in both the global and domestic protein markets,” Blach said. “Dynamics, specifically larger protein supplies, led to a significant correction in price in 2015. A large portion of the market down trend is over now. However, the cycle shows prices continuing to trend lower in 2016, 2017 and 2018.”

Analysts predicted the cattle feeder — after losing about $200 per head in 2015 — will be slightly profitable this year. Stocker operators will experience tighter margins, and cow-calf producers will remain profitable. The team of economists expect fed cattle prices will average $130 to $135/cwt. in 2016.

“Cow-calf producers will still be profitable, but at substantially lower levels than the past two years,” said Kevin Good, senior analyst and fed-cattle market specialist at CattleFax.

“We predict the cattle feeder will have tight margins for the year with potential for profitability by mid-year.”

A two-year El Nino weather pattern has replenished moisture conditions across the country, specifically for the West Coast, which saw some relief recently.

The weather outlook appears favorable, especially moisture conditions for grasslands, according to the weather outlook from Art Douglas, Ph.D., professor emeritus at Creighton University.

“As we head into 2016, a split jet stream pattern will favor above-normal precipitation from California to the Southern Plains and the Southeast through March,” Douglas said.

“In the Corn Belt, spring will be wetter-than-normal, which will be accompanied by slower spring warming. Delays in fieldwork and planting dates are likely to result.”

Analysts predicted $294 per head added value from exports for 2016, a $66 drop per head from 2014 values. This decrease in export potential is caused by a combination of a stronger U.S. dollar, a slowdown in global markets and challenges with market access.

China and other global markets are still the biggest opportunities for U.S. beef, but trade restrictions will continue to limit potential in the year ahead.

Beef imports are predicted to be down 8% due to the combination of lower trim prices and increasing domestic cow slaughter. The United States is in a rebuilding stage, and females are being held back for the cow herd. Analysts predict the U.S. cow herd will grow another 600,000 head in 2016, following a 1.1 million head increase in 2015. HW



Animal Health, is known as one of the most thorough and beneficial educational events in the country.

Celebrating its 23rd year, the event brought in a remarkable crowd with more than 900 attendees.

“This educational program provides an impressive diversity of topics to beef producers,” said Josh White, NCBA executive director of producer education. “We have producers speaking to producers about real life ranch issues, industry partners presenting consumer expectations and academic leaders providing the latest findings in cattle research. The best of the best in the cattle industry are selected to speak at Cattlemen’s College to help producers propel the beef industry forward.”

A ‘Whole Herd Makeover’ discussion kicked off the event Tuesday night, highlighting

perspectives about what the U.S. cow herd should look like in the future. Five industry experts — Tom Field, Ph.D.; David Daley, Ph.D.; Patsy Houghton, Ph.D.; Tom Brink; and Don Schiefelbein — shared their perspectives about what the cattle herd should look like in the next five years. These influential speakers commented on genetics, land prices, health protocols and beef marketing.

Cattlemen’s College reconvened again Wednesday morning with a keynote address from Robert Fraley, Ph.D., executive vice president with Monsanto, who is a respected leader in agriculture biotechnology.

Fraley spoke frankly about how the agriculture industry will use technology to feed more than 9.5 billion people by 2050, with two times the food demand by that time.

“We will have to produce more and waste less to get there,” Fraley said. “I absolutely believe that we have the tools and technology to do that.”

This year represents the 20th anniversary of the introduction of GMOs, which were first used in agriculture in 1996. There are about 30 countries growing 450 million acres of GMO food; there have been more than 4 billion acres of GMO crops over the last 20 years, according to Fraley.

Fraley said there remains skepticism among some consumers about the use of science in agriculture. “There is clearly a gap between what science can do and what consumers are comfortable with,” he said.

Throughout the day, attendees chose from a total of 18 classes within the topics of Healthy Cattle — Healthy Ranch, Advances in Cattle Nutrition, Industry Hot Topics, Your Business — Our Industry, Evolving Beef Production and Creating the Future.

The range of informative, hands-on workshops was created for cattle operations of every size and sector. Cattlemen and women of all age groups were in attendance, but young beef producers especially made a strong showing.

“We had more than 140 collegiate students pre-register to attend Cattlemen’s College this year,” said White. “As we think about the future of our industry it is encouraging to see young people keen to learn and get involved. Students absorb a lot of high-quality education over several days, as well as make important connections in the industry.”

Audio presentations from the 2016 Cattlemen’s College will be available online following the Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show. Cattlemen and women who were unable to attend the event in San Diego can take advantage of this online option at Beefusa.org. HW

BQA free certification period announcedDuring the annual Cattle Industry Convention, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. (BIVI), announced a Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) free-certification period — from now through April 15. Beef producers can take advantage of free BQA certification online courtesy of BIVI and the BQA program, which is funded by the beef checkoff. Cattlemen can register and complete the certification at their own convenience.

BIVI will underwrite the $25-$50 online training fee for every person completing BQA training through April 15. Visit BQA.org to take advantage of the open certification period.

In addition, anyone who becomes certified during this period is eligible to win a pair of Roper boots, courtesy of BIVI.

The BQA program is important to the cattle industry because it is a consumer-friendly story that producers can tell, helping the producers to talk about using BQA Best Management Practices for producing a safe and high quality beef product.

The BQA training modules are customized to fit the specific needs of each segment of the cattle industry — cow-calf, stocker, feedyard and dairy operations. The program covers best management practices such as proper handling and administration of animal health products, reducing injection site blemishes, and using low stress cattle-handling principles.

Beyond reinforcing industry best practices for cattle production, obtaining certification can be a useful tool in an ever-changing landscape where consumers want to be assured they are receiving a product raised in ways that align with BQA.

Future of theBeef Industry

With today’s economics, do we need an alternative production model?

by Troy Smith

The bull market is over. The bear market has started and has a long way to go before it bottoms out. That’s the forecast from

economist Bill Helming, who believes the U.S. is within 18 months of a serious economic recession — more serious than the last one.

“There is a high probability of recession that will be painful, deflationary in nature and worse than the recession of 2008 and ’09 — and that one was pretty painful,” said Helming at the Economics of the Livestock Industry conference held Sept. 21, 2015, in Topeka, Kan.

Helming’s presentation focused on two messages. First, he talked about conditions in the U.S. and

around the world that portend economic woes, generally, and predicted tougher times for the beef cattle business. Secondly, Helming said the beef industry must address the issue of high retail beef prices. He suggested an alternative to the traditional U.S. beef production model — a different system targeting production of the kind of beef that more and more American consumers choose to buy.

In view of current economics and the trends Helming foresees, he believes the beef industry and consumers would benefit from two beef production models — the one that already exists plus another forage-based system for animals that would produce only high-quality ground beef. If the industry continues on its present course, Helming fears beef could become a luxury item and the number of beef producers could diminish dramatically.

For more than 40 years, Bill Helming has been forecasting U.S. and global macroeconomic trends. Gray-haired cattle folk may remember him as chief economist for the National Cattlemen’s Association

(now the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association) and then as the founder and first manager of

the CattleFax economic research and analysis firm. Since then he has been a private

consultant working from his home base in Olathe, Kan. Bill Helming Consulting Services’ clients represent all walks of life, including many cattle producers from across the U.S.

For producers of all industry segments to understand what lies ahead for the cattle business, Helming believes they need to consider the economic “big picture.” He told his Topeka audience that

a good gauge for economic performance is


gross domestic product (GDP), which measures a country’s performance in terms of value added, rather than sales. GDP represents the value of output minus the value of goods used to produce it.

Seven years of bad luckOffering a history lesson in U.S. economic performance, Helming said the average GDP rate of growth between 1929 and ’39 (the Great Depression) was 1.32%. From 1940 to 2007, the average GDP was 3.82, representing a 68-year ‘boom.’ From 2008 through ’14, the average GDP was 70% lower at 1.18%. For the next seven years, from 2015 through ’21, Helming predicted a still lower average GDP of 1.15%.

Economic decline is occurring worldwide. Helming said Japan has generally been in a recessionary and price and asset deflationary mode for the last 23 years. Calling the combined Eastern and Western European economy “lethargic,” Helming said it is entering the early stages of recession. He expects Japanese and European economic conditions to worsen during the next seven years. Helming added that Canada, Brazil and Australia are already in recession.

“China continues to have the biggest and worst real estate debt bubble the world has ever seen. This bubble is going to burst,” predicted Helming, calling China’s devaluation of its currency a sure sign of desperation. He said China “cooks the books,” reporting 7% GDP when it’s really less than 3%.

“The Chinese economy will continue to slow down substantially and is headed for a hard landing within the next five to seven years. This will be negative for the U.S. and world economies,” Helming stated. “It’s already contributing to a bear commodity market trend.”

Helming said price, cost and asset deflation is coming back to the U.S. economy for most of the next seven years and for the first time since the Great Depression. He cited the following key indicators:

• Much slower U.S. and global GDP economic growth.

• A much stronger U.S. dollar.

• A major decline in crude oil, gold and other commodity prices.

• A record low interest rate yield on U.S. treasury bonds.

“To me, all the indicators point to deflation, with lower prices, lower costs and lower asset values. Many adults in this country have never really experienced that in their lifetimes,” stated Helming, warning that producers depending on the value of assets and Social Security could be in serious jeopardy.

Helming predicted a major stock market decline within the next 24 to 48 months. He expects a 70% decline in the Dow, resulting in trillions of dollars of wealth being lost. As a result cattle prices will be sent farther south. He expects the fed-cattle price to be as low as $102 per hundredweight (cwt.) by 2018 or ’19 and maybe lower, with the price for 600-lb. feeder calves to be around $139/cwt.

Farm and ranch land values also will decrease during the next few years. They are already down by 10%, on average, but Helming believes they could ultimately decline by as much as 45%. That decline could be devastating for some producers. According to Helming, an analysis of the overall agricultural balance sheet shows that 82% of net worth is tied up in land. In coming years, farmers and ranchers with large debt will be in the worst position, particularly if it is heavily leveraged debt. Producers with modest, serviceable debt are most apt to handle the challenging times ahead.

“It’s a tough love kind of message, but I want you to know what I believe to be the truth, based on a lifetime of study,” said Helming. “The stage is set for this ag bubble to burst in a pretty big way.”

Fewer cows in the futureHelming expressed confidence that the expansion of the U.S. beef cow herd will be short-lived. He expects expansion to last three to four years, and in

10 years the breeding herd will be smaller than it is now. His reasons included:

• Substantially lower cattle prices.

• High production costs.

• Reduced availability of grazing land, due to conversion to crops and urban development.

• Regional drought conditions.

• The higher average age of producers.

• Difficult entry to the business by young producers.

• Large percentage of small operations.

Helming said the number of small cow-calf operations is significant because 80% of the nation’s herd is represented by producers with 50 cows or fewer. Many have high costs of production. Many

are Baby Boomers, dying off, retiring or slowing down and wanting less risk. Many are selling cows while prices remain relatively high. Helming said these and other realities will result in a net loss of beef cow numbers in the years ahead.

Losing market shareA substantial problem is beef’s price and affordability, or the lack thereof. Helming called it a sobering fact that retail purchases of beef account for 15% of average consumer wages, while pork and chicken account for 9% and 5%, respectively. In 2010 the average wage earner worked one hour to buy 4.7 lb. of beef. In 2014 wages earned in an hour

purchased 3.7 lb. of beef. This change amounts to a 22% reduction in beef purchased per hour of average wage earnings.

Citing data from the North American Meat Institute, Helming said 40% of shoppers are now shifting their protein-buying behavior in order to save money. He called affordability a key driver and price per pound the number one factor influencing U.S. meat and poultry shoppers. It’s the reason beef has lost and may continue to lose market share.

“Real average U.S. worker wages have declined by over nine percent, over the past six years. Forty-seven percent of American consumers have no savings. If you think they are cutting back on beef now, just wait to see what happens next,” said Helming. “We’re facing major competition from pork and poultry in the years ahead.”

Helming said that during the last 39 years, from 1976 through 2014, per capita beef consumption declined 43%, or 40.2 lb. per person. That’s an average annual decline of 1.03 lb. per person. Meanwhile, per capita consumption of chicken increased by 101%, or 42.5 lb. per person. That’s an average annual increase of 1.09 lb. per person. For each pound of decreased beef consumption, chicken

consumption grew by more than a pound.Of the beef that Americans do consume,

an increasingly larger portion is ground beef. Helming said affordability is the primary reason why the total pounds of U.S. beef consumption represented by ground beef increased by 38% from 1970 through 2014. During that period, the portion of total beef consumption represented by whole muscle cuts decreased by 28%. Since 1970 the portion of all beef consumed in the U.S. as ground beef has grown from 42 to nearly 60%. Helming predicted a continuing trend. He estimated that by 2040 70% of all beef consumed by U.S

consumers at home and away from home will be ground beef.

It’s Helming’s contention that for the U.S. beef industry to survive, more ground beef needs to be produced and it needs to be produced at a lower cost so it can be sold at a lower price. However, neither the traditional beef production model nor USDA’s beef quality grading system was built for that. Helming called it a “one-size-fits-all” business model where the vast majority of animals are grain-fed in a feedyard. It encourages larger and heavier beef carcasses which substantially increase production costs.

The long-standing model emphasizes production of the whole muscle cuts that consumers are purchasing less and less often. Helming said the system wrongly treats ground beef as a byproduct when, in fact, a majority of consumers have come to view ground beef as a mainstream product of choice — a dietary staple. But even ground beef has become less affordable.

“You would think that more people within the industry leadership would want to address the issue of beef’s high cost, but the industry at large is not paying attention to what beef and competing meat consumers are spending their money on and why,” opined Helming. “If the business model and grading system are not changed, then in 35 to 50 years, beef in America will become a specialty product much like lamb and lobster are today.”

The fixScrapping the current production system is not the answer, but Helming believes the economic situation begs for an alternative. In his opinion, the U.S. beef industry needs two production models — the one that exists and a second model for grass- and forage-fed animals that specifically targets production of high-quality ground beef that could be merchandised at more affordable prices.

Neither would Helming do away with the current beef grading system. He does advocate the addition of a ground beef component.

“The beef industry and USDA should embrace and establish a very important and much needed

addition to the young cattle carcass quality standards that is based on beef and dairy animals that are grass- and forage-fed only, with no grain, to produce 88 to 90% lean ground beef,” stated Helming.

To supply the appropriate type of cattle for this alternative high-quality ground beef production model, Helming believes a significant portion of cow-calf producers would have to commit to producing cattle whose frame scores fall within the range of 3 to 5. He cited data suggesting that cattle having frame scores of 3 to 5 typically exhibit a 40 to 42% improvement in dry matter feed conversion rates, when compared with cattle of frame score 6 or larger.

“Today, close to 90% of U.S. beef cattle are frame 6 or bigger. I submit that

bigger is not better. Smaller framed animals with improved feed conversion and lower production costs are better. Lower production costs are much better,” said Helming. “To significantly reduce cow maintenance and beef cattle production costs, the size and weight of beef cattle need to be reduced significantly from what typically is the case today.”

Helming said cattle of the right type could be grown to slaughter weight on grass and harvested forage. He is involved in a start-up business which involves growing cattle in a drylot on a ration of triticale silage and other forages to slaughter weights of 1,100 to 1,200 lb. (steers) at 30 to 36 months of age. All animals will be processed as ground beef only.

“We need more ground beef at a lower cost. I’m confident that it can be done, probably in a multitude of ways,” said Helming. “But beef’s cost to consumers must come down if the U.S. beef industry is to survive.” HW

dealing with shrinkMinimizing shrink in calves help keep them healthy.

by Heather Smith Thomas

Cattle have a large digestive tract, holding many gallons of feed and fluid. The body

weight of any given individual may vary depending on whether the tract is full or relatively empty. This variation will depend on the time of day and how much the animal has eaten or exercised or how far it has been hauled.

Morning weights, when cattle are relatively empty because they’ve been resting during the night instead of eating, are generally less than midday or evening weights, when the gut is full, unless the cattle were held off feed before weighing. When an animal has a relatively empty gut and bladder, the difference between that body weight and “normal” body weight is called shrink.

Types of shrinkSouth Dakota State University Beef Specialist Julie Walker says there are two kinds of shrink.

“Gut fill is one type,” she explains. “For research purposes we often hold cattle off feed and water for 12 hours or overnight, to reduce the fill in the rumen. Whenever you start moving or handling cattle and they don’t have access to feed or water, this type of shrink starts immediately,” she says. When cattle

move around, especially if they are nervous or stressed, they urinate and defecate more.

“The other type of shrink is due to fluid loss within the body tissues (tissue shrink) and this basically starts at the same time but is more severe when cattle are off feed and water for a long time. This would be the case on a long transport or prolonged cattle working situation.

For instance, this would occur if the rancher gathers cattle today out of the pasture, works and sorts them, puts the calves on a truck and sends them to a sale barn — and they didn’t have feed or water or they didn’t like the feed or water.

They may not eat or drink for 24 hours or longer,” Walker explains.

If the animals haven’t had feed or water for an extended period with no way to replenish fluid loss, they become dehydrated with fluid loss from muscles and other body tissues.

“This type of shrink takes longer to resolve than fill shrink; the water in the tissues is harder to replace quickly,” Walker says. “With fill shrink the animals can eat and drink and be right back to normal. Tissue shrink takes longer and how long depends on how much shrink has occurred and how long the animals were off feed and water,” she says.

Mature cattle may carry nearly 30% of their weight in the gut and bladder and may lose a lot of weight quickly if held off feed and water for 24 hours or pass a lot of manure and urine in a short time, as when exercising or being excited, according to Walker.

Producers can figure a loss of 8 to 10 lb. per defecation or urination (a gallon of fluid weighs about 8 lb.). Shrink losses of up to 10% of body weight are not uncommon in cattle held off feed and water for 24 hours, and in some circumstances, shrinks of up to 18% can occur. Research has shown that about 60% of total excretory shrink loss during marketing procedures is

dealing with shrink


due to manure passage and about 40% is due to urine secretion.

Animals that don’t eat or drink for up to 12 hours usually just have excretory shrink, Walker says. A short time on feed and water will refill the gut and bring the weight back to normal. Tissue shrink involves a decrease in actual carcass weight in the muscles, and it takes longer for the animal to recover from this type of weight loss.

Walker says many cattle buyers walk among a group of calves to evaluate and sort them, cutting back some, and this process stirs the cattle and moves them around. Thus they shrink more before being weighed. Some buyers insist that cattle be held in a corral overnight without feed before weighing or be gathered from pasture early in the morning before they have a chance to graze and drink.

If cattle are brought off pasture and weighed at the ranch or won’t be hauled very far for weighing, the buyer may want a certain percent of the weight subtracted at weighing before the price per pound is calculated. This is called pencil shrink and is deducted from the actual weight. The idea is to base the per-pound price on a weight that would be more equivalent to “shrunk” weight.

Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan Veterinarian Colin Palmer says shrink is often misunderstood — especially the drawbacks to cattle health. Cattle always do better, stay healthier and bounce back more quickly after transport and sale, if they are not excessively shrunk during this stressful time.

“Auction markets tell me that many buyers don’t want cattle unless they are shrunk,” Palmer says. “If you offer them calves with no shrink taken off, they won’t buy those. Some buyers will pay more money for shrunk calves off feed for at least 20 hours than they will in a pre-sort sale where there’s not as much shrink,” he says. Yet shrink and the

stress involved, which hinders the immune system, is detrimental to the animals and may make them more vulnerable to disease. Cattle that don’t experience as much stress and shrink during sorting and transport are more likely to stay healthy.

Calves sold directly off their mothers are best sold at home rather than after a truck haul to a sale because they won’t eat much during the first 18 to 24 hours after weaning. The worst shrinks occur if the cattle are gathered and sorted off the cows and penned a day before being weighed and sold, according to Palmer. Even if those calves have feed and water in front of them, they will shrink as much as if they were being held off feed and water because they are too stressed to eat or drink very much.

Palmer says calves do better if weaned a few weeks ahead of selling, giving them time to adjust to weaning — especially if they are held long enough to start gaining weight again. Selling them only a week or two after weaning may result in a loss of actual body weight. But if they are sold after being fully weaned, they’re not stressed and will shrink less if they have to be held in a corral very long or hauled before weighing.

“Calves that are weaned and shipped at the same time always shrink more than those already weaned and accustomed to eating hay,” Palmer says.

Cull cows sold right after their their calves are weaned may not eat much because they are stressed over losing their calves; the gut will be relatively empty when you weigh them.

“Weaned calves or yearling cattle generally don’t shrink as much,” he says. “Cull bulls sold and weighed directly off the ranch don’t shrink as much as bulls hauled to sales.”

When taken to new surroundings and held overnight, bulls are more concerned about the animals in the next pen —

“Calves that are weaned and shipped at the same time always shrink more than those already weaned and accustomed to eating hay.”

Cattle that do not experience as much stress and shrink during sorting and transport are more likely to stay healthy.



especially if they’re near other bulls or penned with strange animals.

Walker says, “They may spend more time fighting or socializing or walking the fence than eating, and extra activity results in more shrink. Any emotionally upset animal will shrink. Other stresses that increase shrink include hot weather, stormy wet weather or high humidity, since cattle won’t eat well during these times.”

Cattle on lush green feed, silage or high protein alfalfa hay will shrink more than cattle on drier grass pasture, grass hay or other low moisture feeds.

“The lush, high moisture feed or high quality alfalfa goes through the tract faster and causes the feces to be more loose and runny,” she says. One study showed that cattle from dry pasture had a 3.5% shrink after a two-hour haul compared to 5.3% shrink for cattle off lush green forage.

Minimizing shrinkSeveral studies have looked at ways to help minimize shrink when producers are selling cattle, including various types of diets before transport. Palmer points out study results show that allowing calves to consume forage immediately before being sorted and shipped can reduce the amount of shrink by up to 2.9%. It helps if they are not “empty” before a long truck ride.

Palmer says another study showed that feeding ionophores, like Rumensin, reduces shrink by 0.2 to 1.5%. Electrolyte supplementation ahead of time can also help reduce the amount of shrink, but more research is needed to determine which electrolyte (or combination of electrolytes and at what levels) is most beneficial.

“In a study done at Kansas State University and University of Arkansas, Kenneth Coffey reported steers gathered at daybreak from pasture and placed in holding pens without feed or water shrank at the rate of 1.25% of body weight per hour during the first 2 to 2.5 hours, and 1.61% of body weight during the next 2.5 to 3 hours,” Palmer says. Cattle tend to defecate and urinate more when they are nervous and empty out fairly quickly.

“A 30 minute roundup into the corral may result in 1% shrink,” he says. “Loading, hauling (less than 100 miles), unloading and weighing will generally create an additional 2.5% shrink, sorting or waiting an extra hour before weighing will mean another 1%, 12 or more hours without feed or water before weighing will be an additional 2.5%, etc. Cattle that have been sold and held by an order buyer or for resale often recapture their shrink and weigh significantly more the second time even if it’s just been a few days, due to the poor

handling that resulted in a large shrink prior to the first weighing.”

There is often a great deal of money lost to the producer because of shrink during the original handling and hauling to market.

Cattlemen may not be able to do much about the price they get for cattle, but they can do things to minimize shrink. They can watch weather forecasts and try not to sell during bad weather and avoid rough handling, poor feed, dirty water in a corral where cattle are held before selling — since cattle may refuse to drink — delays in transport or weighing after cattle are gathered, and overloading or underloading trucks. Crowded cattle are more stressed and nervous and will urinate and defecate more.

“Under-loading can also increase shrink since it allows cattle to move around a lot during transport. Any time cattle are moving they tend to urinate and defecate more often,” Walker says.

The biggest mistake people make is hurrying — not handling cattle quietly and slowly on sale day.

“Wild roundups, ramming and jamming cattle while sorting or loading can dramatically increase shrink. Thus it pays to have good facilities where cattle can be worked through and loaded very easily. Take whatever time is needed to do it slowly and gently. A gentle lead animal that will come readily into the corral, or a better loading facility can save time and problems. This will more than pay off in less shrink for the animals,” she says. Gathering should be done calmly, such as luring the cattle into the corral with feed rather than chasing them in.

Cattle shrink every time they are moved. The more quickly and quietly they can be sorted, the less shrink, so it pays to plan ahead and sort ahead of sale day. If calves are already weaned and sorted (separating steers and heifers, sorting by size, etc.) or if cull cows are already in a separate pen or pasture from the rest of the herd, they will have regained their

...Dealing with Shrink continued from page 129


temporary shrink from the sort and can be moved quietly onto the scales or the truck with a minimum of shrink.

Hauling time and conditions affect shrink. Usually the first few miles are the worst, but if the truck is properly loaded and conditions are ideal for hauling, the shrink rate per mile after that will be less, as the cattle adjust to the trip and settle down.

Shrink and its effect on healthA.L. Schaefer, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lacombe Research Centre, Lacombe, Alberta, has worked on several studies addressing problems associated with shrink and the effect of transport.

“I was trained as a physiologist. Lacombe Research Centre has a program on meat science, and the meat scientists told me they were seeing muscle shrink and dark cutters, and wondering what was happening with these cattle. When you study the animals you realize that transport and handling creates such a novel environment for cattle that they are adversely affected by this stress. They’ve never had anything in their evolution and history to prepare them for this,” he says.

Cattle are prey animals; their main survival tactics are to fight or flee from predators (short-term stress events). They are not programmed to handle things like being gathered and sorted, weighed, held overnight in pens without feed, loaded or unloaded, or enduring long truck transport.

Schaefer says the “fear stress” in these novel situations can be just as detrimental as physical stress. Cattle sent to slaughter often experience several hours of transport, after which they are held in pens overnight prior to slaughter — and typically lose 6% or more of their live weight and carcass weight. They often display degradation in meat quality parameters such as pH, color and marbling score.

“So we started to measure some of the stressors. At that time, part of the attitude in the beef industry was that it was just gastrointestinal tract water being lost — that shrink is just loss of fluid from the gut. Many people actually thought that shrink is good, to get it out of there so the buyer doesn’t have to pay for useless water,” Schaefer says.

“This perception is far from the truth. Over the years we have done studies to look at the composition of fluid loss. We did total dissections of slaughtered animals, comparing the ones with greater shrink with those of lesser shrink, to see where this weight loss was coming from. What we learned was that about half of the weight loss was from the GI tract and about half was from muscle tissue. There can be real loss of muscle in finished animals, resulting in a reduction in carcass yield and quality.”

Schaefer says they then looked at the various kinds of physiological insults.

“Animals lose their muscle sugar and become hypoglycemic (low blood sugar and low muscle sugar),” he says.” They become dehydrated and lose interstitial water. The meat scientists found

that when animals lost this fluid from the tissues their meat became tougher. The shear forces and taste (as determined by a food-tasting panel) changed dramatically.”

Schaefer says it’s similar to grapes versus raisins “When grapes lose water they become raisins. The muscle tissue lost a lot of the positive ions, particularly sodium and potassium. These cattle break down muscle because they are trying to free up the carbon on the amino acids, so that the carbon can be used to make more glucose — to counteract the loss,” he says.

These are survival mechanisms the body has evolved to survive in times of stress and feed/water deprivation.

“There is a chronology and time frame to all of these changes, depending on how far the cattle are transported, etc.,” Schaefer says. “These are the kinds of insults we were seeing in cattle suffering from shrink, and this explained a lot about why there was a weight loss — and why that weight loss was so important. It was partly actual muscle tissue and not just urine and feces.”

Schaefer says some of the buyers were saying they wouldn’t buy

Effect of shrink to 600 lb. initial weightThis table shows that the difference between 3% and 12% shrink on a 600 lb. animal is 54 lb. At $200 per cwt. and the weight of 582 lb., the calf nets back $1,164.

The calf that weighs 528 lb. and is sold at $200 per cwt. brings $1,056 — a $108 difference.

So the price required for the 528 lb. calf would need to be ($1,164/528 lb. = $220.45 per cwt.) to bring an equal value.

cattle unless the auction market would shrink them. Many buyers still prefer to buy “shrunk” cattle, not realizing how adversely this condition can affect their health, particularly for young cattle.

“The energy and water that’s been lost is very important. That fluid and material in the stomachs is what gives them energy to counteract the stress they are experiencing. It is important to keep them fed and watered. If pigs are fed a lot before transport they become motion sick, but cattle do better if they have some gut fill,” he says.

There are many factors involved in how much a certain animal will shrink, and one of the biggest factors is stress. The things that happen at sale time are novel for calves. “Their entire stress mechanism is triggered (the HPA system — hypothalamic pituitary adrenal response) in which cortisol is produced. This breaks down muscle and fat, for provision of glucose,” says Schaefer.

“If what they are experiencing in this stressful environment is not part of their history (if they are taken out of their familiar pen, social structure, etc. to be sorted and weighed), this triggers cortisol release. Transport triggers it again because they don’t know what to expect. During the ride there are strange noises and they are continually stressed, and their

bodies are in a protein-breakdown mode,” he says.

“It’s not surprising that some calves have eight to 10% shrink in these situations. With finished cattle, this is why feedlots try to have same-day slaughter, so they can stop this weight slide and loss as soon as possible. With young calves, when they are weaned and shipped and go into feedlots, the cortisol has had a damaging impact on their immune system, as well,” he says. This stress creates more risk for illness.

Preventing shrinkPreconditioning calves before sale can be advantageous. They are usually handled a bit more and become accustomed to gentle handling and are not just fresh off the range.

“Any time you can acclimate calves to handling and a new environment, they will be more at ease and will shrink less at sale time,” he says. “Video sales have an advantage because there’s a little less transport and handling involved.”

Cattle are going directly from the farm/ranch to their destination rather than being trucked to a saleyard, waiting there for a day or so and trucked again to a feedlot.

“Solutions to these situations involve many factors. One approach here at Lacombe is to try to assist those calves — providing them with more energy before they are shipped, and making sure they have the necessary positive ions in their systems,” Schaefer says.

“We’ve found that some of the amino acids are very effective at reducing protein breakdown. One particular amino acid called tryptophan is used by the nervous system in cattle and helps calm them so they don’t perceive stressors quite as threatening as they might otherwise. We’ve found this amino acid to be helpful in reducing shrink. How we’d supply this depends on the calves — whether they are young calves or freshly weaned, or finished animals that are already used to being on feed. You

can provide a ‘cow Gatorade’ type product that contains some of these necessary nutrients.”

Schaefer did some work with several thousand animals that demonstrated better retention of weight. “These animals had a percent or two less weight loss than they would have otherwise,” he says.

“The cattle treated with nutritional therapy also showed a three- to four-fold reduction in the incidence of DFD (dark-firm-dry) meat. Using economic values for beef at the time of the study, the economic impact of using nutritional therapy for cattle held in pens before slaughter was about $22 per head for 800-900 lb. carcasses.”

If a producer is preparing to send calves to market, there might be times that a nutritional therapy would also be beneficial.

“Sometimes when they are on pasture you can provide this product in a feed if the calves are used to eating a creep feed or mineral mix. We’ve also tried putting some of these things into the water for the calves when they arrive in the pens from a pasture. It all depends on what the cattle are used to. If a calf has never seen a waterer and has only drunk from a pond or stream, it may not work,” Schaefer says.

This is the advantage of preconditioning, so the calves can become accustomed to new ways to access feed and water. Then the calves are better able to tolerate the stresses they will encounter at sale time.

“The industry needs to work together to understand and address these challenges. We still have buyers who want raw, shrunk-out calves. They need to realize that this is not a healthy or beneficial situation for these animals, and that it would be helpful to pay the producers more for preconditioned cattle,” says Schaefer.

Then the person receiving the cattle will have less health problems or setbacks in their weight gain. HW

Let’s pretend it’s a rainy day in late March, the tail end of your spring calving season.

Hundreds of baby calves frolic alongside their mothers on a well- worn pasture that’s about to welcome yet another new life to a wet and muddy morning.

After many weeks of heavy use, these tired pastures have accumulated afterbirths, urine and feces. It’s a harsh environment for a newborn calf to start its life. How will you protect this animal from pathogens that stand to threaten its future well-being?

Newborn calves are immediately exposed to many environmental challenges, and in no case is this truer than in the final weeks of the calving season.

“Calves born during the first several weeks are fortunate to begin life in a relatively clean space,” notes Scott Sturgeon, DVM of Sturgeon Veterinary Services in Hydro, Okla.

“However, calves born late in the season typically enter the world under less sanitary conditions. They face more contamination issues, which will only continue to worsen the longer the calving area is occupied.”

As a result, a higher percentage of calves born during the calving season’s last quarter suffer from scours due to pathogen buildup than calves born earlier in the season.

“Producers have two main goals during this exciting and stressful time of year,” Sturgeon says. “The first is to get a live calf on the ground and the second is to prevent it from getting scours. Calves born at end of season have a higher risk of contracting the main causes of scours — E. coli, rotavirus and coronavirus.”

Antibody product protects calves from scoursCattle producers can take various steps to optimize newborn calf health for animals arriving on the season’s backend. Using a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)-approved antibody product, such as First Defense®, is an excellent way to give calves — especially these latecomers — the immediate protection they need.

Newborn calves are immediately exposed to many environmental challenges, and in no case is this truer than in the final weeks of the calving season. A higher percentage of calves born during this time frame suffer from scours due to pathogen buildup than calves born earlier in the season.

Healthy Calves

Are you doing everything you can to protect end-of-season calves?

by Stacey Smart


“In just one dose, you can effectively defend against E. coli and coronavirus,” explains Sturgeon. Available in bolus, gel tube or powder form, this immunity builder should be given as soon as possible following birth and definitely within the first 12 hours of life — the critical timeframe for antibody absorption.

“I’ve seen the benefits of this product firsthand,” shares Sturgeon, whose work takes him throughout Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and Arkansas. “I have clients who faced scours issues for a number of years and had great success after incorporating an antibody product into their calving regimen. They abandoned scours vaccination in lieu of an easy-to-manage bolus. In doing so, these producers have seen a major decrease in scours and an increase in overall herd health as calves grow up, boosting the farm’s bottom line.”

Vaccination of the pregnant cow during her third trimester is one way some farms attempt to protect newborns from scours. But there are limitations to this labor-intensive approach.

“This two-dose vaccine requires running a cow through a chute on two different occasions,” Sturgeon says. “In addition, the vaccine provides the greatest immunity when given as close to calving as possible. This poses a problem for calves born at season’s end, as they’ll receive less immunity in the colostrum compared to calves born earlier.”

In contrast, a natural colostrum antibody product provides every calf, regardless of birth date, with equal immunity in a one-time, easy-to-administer dose. The ability to dose alongside colostrum is another important benefit as some products on the market require a waiting period between administering the antibody and feeding colostrum.

“Any time there is a delay in colostrum intake, the calf is put at greater risk for failure of passive immunity,” points out Bobbi Brockmann, vice president of sales and marketing with ImmuCell Corporation.

“Concentrated antibody products can be fed to calves simultaneously

to colostrum so there is no interference with maternal antibodies and no waiting for a response from the calf’s immune system. It also means less stress because the calf does not have to divert its precious energy reserves from maintenance and growth to mounting an immune response.”

While immunizing is certainly advantageous, Sturgeon reminds us that, “Nothing beats good management practices.”

Rather than introducing an entire crop of calves to the same pasture or pen, some farms with the land and resources to do so choose to give animals a fresh start on clean pasture or in clean facilities at various intervals throughout the calving season.

“Switching pastures halfway through the season is becoming a popular practice,” says Sturgeon. “In some cases, intensive managers may even move cows as often as every week to 10 days to ensure calf health isn’t compromised.”

Prevention is the goalWhen it comes to scours, it’s more economical to prevent this repressive and costly disease than it is to

treat and endure its never-ending ramifications.

“You need to consider the long-term value of a calf,” Sturgeon says. “A calf that gets scours is set back for life. It’s more likely to acquire respiratory diseases and not gain as well throughout its entire life cycle. If you prevent a calf from getting scours, you set it up for a healthier life. It’ll gain more and be more efficient on its dam’s milk, as well as grass and other feed sources. The cost to immunize is minimal compared to the lifelong toll of scours.” HW

“If you prevent a calf from getting scours, you set it up for a healthier life.”

Good management practices are the best way to keep calves healthy, according to Scott Sturgeon, DVM of Sturgeon Veterinary Services in Hydro, Okla. He says to give calves a fresh start on clean pasture or facilities.

Date night? What’s a date night? I’m guessing if you’re

married with kids (or with cattle), you just might be in the same situation as my husband, Craig, and I.

We had to hop a plane from Chicago, headed to the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver, in order to have a date.

Actually, we needed to be there, along with my brother and his wife, to accept an award on behalf of my dad, who was unable to attend due to health reasons. It was a great honor.

But it was also an opportunity for Craig and me to have some quiet, kid-free time. And, oh, how it was needed.

Just the week before, Craig and I were sitting at the kitchen table after the kids had eaten — dirty dishes strewn around the table, bits of food on the floor — trying to have a conversation.

Of course, our voices were drowned out countless times with, “Hey, Dad, watch this!” and “Mom, guess what Nolan just did!” I didn’t want to guess.

We stared at each other, exhausted. With a blank look on my face, I asked Craig when we had been on our last, honest-to-goodness date. We decided it was our anniversary. Just a short nine months before. It was time.

Now, I realize the NWSS isn’t a vacation for many of you who attend. Far from it, actually. And I won’t even get started on the “Denver crud” that most folks bring home as a souvenir of the event.

And although Craig and I would have loved to have our boys exhibiting their Herefords on the Hill, it was a great chance for us to reconnect with each other and with friends from across the country.

You know the craziest thing? Craig and I were able to talk — really talk

— about anything and nothing. Not just about who was shuttling Waylon to band practice and who was picking up Caroline from preschool.

And when we returned home, I really felt as if I could be the mom I need to be again.

I was a bit less stressed. I was ready to face the week. I felt as if Craig and I were on the same team once again.

You know how on an airplane, the flight attendants tell the adults to adjust their own oxygen masks before they attempt to place one on their child? That’s pretty applicable to parenting, too.

That weekend taught me a little lesson on the importance of placing a priority on myself and my husband, even if only every once in a while.

It’s not natural. Not even close. As parents we often place the needs of our kids first, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Making sure homework is done, cattle are fed and worked, and the kids’ teeth are brushed.

But the family starts with mom and dad.

I was visiting with a friend ringside at the NWSS. She said we have only 18 summers with our kids before they’re grown and out of the house. Yikes. She and I may or may not have

cried a bit. I’ll never tell. The point being: Once those 18

summers are up, it’s all going to be back to mom and dad. If we don’t put some effort into that relationship, that person you’re facing across the breakfast table just might seem like a stranger.

Craig and I have set a goal to have more alone time in the months to come. Once show season hits for us, I know it’s going to be tougher — way tougher.

But it doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. It could very well simply be a lunch date at our local Mexican restaurant while the kids are at school. Or a 15-minute chat over coffee before the kids wake up. Just some time to talk without the kids’ questions and needs taking priority. Time to be a couple again.

I suppose I married this guy nearly 13 years ago for a reason. And I shouldn’t let the craziness of life allow me to forget it.

It’s not just good for the two of us. It will be good for the family, too. HW

31st ANNUAL PRODUCTION SALESaturday, April 2, 2016 • 1 p.m.at the ranch, 17 miles south of Brownwood on FM 45

Selling:45 Herd Sire and Range Bulls42 Open Registered Horned Heifers

Dear Friends and Cattlepeople.The MW Hereford Ranch is pleased to announce plans for our 31st Annual

Production Sale to be held on Saturday, April 2, 2016 at the ranch, located seventeen miles south of Brownwood, Texas on FM 45, just south of the Colorado River.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our friends and buyers from previous year that continue to make this sale possible. Our confidence in the cattle industry and the Hereford Breed, in particular, remains strong. We look forward to a beautiful bluebonnet spring and another great sale.

We will have 45 highly selected herd sire prospects and range bulls this year. These modern, rugged, range-raised, performance and fertility tested bulls have really balanced EPD numbers. They represent the best of the Hereford breed and are ready to go to work. We have been pleased with the looks and performance data of our new herd sires and will offer a large number of their offspring in the sale.

We will offer 42 twelve-fifteen month old open registered, horned heifers ready to breed with excellent EPD numbers. We feel their bloodlines represent the best of the Hereford industry today and many could become future Dams of Distinction.

As usual on sale day, we will have the cattle on display at 10 a.m., with lunch at 12 and the sale beginning promptly at 1 p.m. As always, we absolutely guarantee our cattle. If you are not completely satisfied, we will make it right. We will be glad to assist you with delivery.

This year our sale will be broadcast online at www.superiorclicktobid.com. We will also have videos of all the cattle online around the first of April at www.superiorlivestock.com. If you need any assistance in registering to bid through Superior or have any questions regarding their services you may call them at 800-431-4452.

Please contact any member of the family for further information and details. Our catalogs will be available by late February. We look forward to seeing you at the sale.
