araphrasing Coach John Wooden, “While not all change results in progress, there can be no progress without change.” 2019 is definitely a year of change at the ACA. (And yet, the best is yet to come!) In case you haven’t been keeping up, there have been a LOT of changes made at the ACA so far in 2019. Let’s begin with a quick recap …. Change was in air at the North American. In case you missed it; Louisville 2018 was a spectacular event. Literally thousands of people stopped or passed by the ACA booth (located on the main aisle); Jennifer Roach did her best to have a conversation with each and every one. Jennifer also walked the stalls daily, greeting breeders and exhibitors; making them feel welcome, included, and part of the entire Louisville experience. There was a bigger crowd at the ACA Ladies’ Auxiliary “Come as You Are” Luncheon than had been seen in many years. The ACA Annual Meeting provided a recap of the previous year and an overview of what could be expected in 2019 (and beyond). (Make plans now to attend the 2019 ACA Annual Meeting in Louisville.) In December, a milestone was reached when we paid off our Line of Credit at the Platte Valley Bank. Retiring this debt didn’t just happen; it took the dedicated diligence and patience of a number of CEOs and Jennifer. The loan was retired by refraining from borrowing and servicing the debt. Initially, monthly payments of $2,000 a month with bi-annual interest payments; then $3,000 monthly payments, and finally making big payments in September, October, November, and December, 2018. Without this debt to service, the ACA Board has additional funds to devote to promotion and marketing, and the introduction and development of new programs. (Keep reading to learn about the new programs!) The shows in Denver and Fort Worth were strong; classes were deep and competitive. (Look for the show reports for the National Western and the Fort Worth Stock Show elsewhere in this issue of the Journal.) Tyler Humphrey, Agri Marketing Solutions, LLC put together an Elite Chiangus Championship Genetics hosted by Show Circuit Online Sales, that sold on Monday, January 21, (which was the day of the Chiangus and Chianina Shows in Denver.) Participation in the sale was by invitation from Tyler; every lot was either a full-sib, flush mate, or progeny of a Grand or Reserve Grand in the National Show, National Junior Heifer Show, Chiangus Classic, National Western, or Fort Worth Stock Show.

sale averaged $794 per embryo.

Director of Sales & Marketing / Field Representatives

The Executive Committee was extremely busy in February, reviewing cover letters and resumes of the 48 individuals from 13 states who made application for one of the two Director of Sales & Marketing / Field Representative positions that we advertised. Eventually, the pool of applicants was narrowed to eight that were invited to phone interviews. Seven completed the interview process, and two rounds of interviews were conducted. Dustin Hurlbut from Raymond, South Dakota, was hired for the West; Ryan Robb from Champaign, Illinois, was hired for the East. (Incidentally, for this position, the country is roughly divided by the Mississippi River, although Iowa is also included in the East. Additionally, these are part-time positions. The board determined that more ground could be covered by hiring two part-time employees, rather than by hiring one. One person, covering the entire country, spends too much time traveling, with a lot of unproductive time spent in the office.)

American Chianina Journal

Following a seven year absence, Heather Counts returned to the ACA family on February 15. Within a week, the ACA website had been updated; photos of show champions from Louisville, Denver and Fort Worth had been posted, along with the two most recent issues of the ACJ. Heather, Dustin and Ryan got right to work, selling ads for the Herd Book issue of the Journal. The 2018 Herd Book issue had 16.5 pages of paid advertising. The issue that you’re now reading has 27 pages; an increase of more than 50%!!! Additionally, the four previous issues of the Journal had a combined total of 19 pages of paid advertising, compared to this issue, which has 27 pages. As you can see, our new employees have hit the ground running, have collectively made 121 contacts to breeders, suppliers, dealers and service providers, nationwide. I would personally like to thank everyone who supported the ACA and the ACJ by purchasing advertising space in the Herd Book issue. Your Board of Directors made it easier for everyone to advertise by cutting advertising rates by 20%. (A full page, four color ad now costs $600 as compared to the previous cost of $740.) The expression “be seen, or be forgotten” is relevant when considering


marketing and promoting your operation and products. Considering the speed at which information changes, we need to ensure that our information is visible, current, and easily accessible. Advertising in the Journal needs to be a part of everyone’s annual marketing strategy. We are dedicated to ensuring that the ACJ is essential to breeders and customers, alike. Additionally, we should all recognize the importance in supporting our Association and the Journal. The ACA and the ACJ provide valuable services to our membership; supporting the ACA by purchasing a membership and/or renewing your annual activity fee, registering and transferring cattle, and supporting the Journal by purchasing a page or card ad all help us to continue to provide support and services to our members and clients. I really hope that you’ll take time to read and digest the content included in this issue. Our goal is to make the Journal more than merely a report of show and sale results and breeder advertisements (although we acknowledge that these are important components.) We’ve worked hard to bring you a variety of articles including editorials, commentaries and educational features. Each of the three boards (ACA, Auxiliary and Jr. Board) submitted two columns written by members of their respective boards; minutes of all three board’s meetings are included to keep you up-to-date and informed. Following an extremely productive ACA Board meeting, held April 4 and 5 in Platte City (seven committees met on the afternoon on Thursday, April 4), a number of new programs and initiatives are being introduced. We encourage you to carefully consider which of these will be of benefit to you, your program, your customers, as well as your state association.

University of Illinois – ACA Sire Test

We will be collaborating with Dr. Dan Shike at the University of Illinois to conduct a test for Chiangus and Chianina sires. A minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 sires will be included in this test. The purpose is to test, evaluate and establish the genetic potential of Chiangus and Chianina sires. Each sire included in the test will be mated, artificially, to a total of 20 Angus, quarter-blood or half-blood SimAngus cows at the University of Illinois Dixon Springs Ag Center

on December 15, 2019. Complete records will be kept and reported from conception through harvest. Calves will be born in September, 2020. This is a terminal trial; all calves will be harvested around August 1, 2021. Complete breeding, birth, weaning, yearling, and carcass data will be collected and reported. Sires will be evaluated and compared on all of these measures. Through the Sire Test, we will be able to identify Chiangus and Chianina sires that excel in CED, WW, YW, Feed Efficiency, carcass characteristics and profitability. It is likely that multiple sires will each excel in one or more traits. Comparisons will be made for individuals as well as sire groups. Breeders must provide 20 units of semen for each bull. The nomination fee is $3000/bull. The ACA is offering a cost-share of $1500 per bull, for bulls whose nomination fee is received at the ACA office before October 1, 2019. The fee covers the cost of synchronizing and inseminating the cows, the use of Growsafe bunks, (which measure feed intake on a per head basis) and collecting extensive data over the lifetime of the calves, including complete carcass data. In addition, the ACA will cover the cost of genotyping each calf entering the finishing phase, and will also issue an ACA performance pedigree, in order to track the performance and carcass data. The University of Illinois – ACA Sire Test is without a doubt the most innovative and progressive program that we have initiated in recent history. It will provide irrefutable, documentable evidence of the value and merit of Chiangus and Chianina Sires. It will enrich the ACA data pool. It will improve individual accuracies of EPDs on bulls that have not been extensively tested or compared. When the Sire Test is complete, the ACA will develop a publication that will be distributed nationally to commercial producers and breeders. The publication will highlight the value in purchasing Chiangus and Chianina bulls; particularly the sons and grandsons of the bulls included in the Sire Test. In addition to benefiting the ACA, the Sire Test will be especially beneficial to breeders who sell commercial bulls. If you want to sell bulls, increase the number of head offered in your bull sale, or expand your buying audience, you will not want to be left out of the University of Illinois – ACA Sire Test. Contact either Dustin or Ryan in order to nominate your sire(s). Space is limited to

The Way I See It…continued 15 bulls. We will accept the first 15 paid nominations. Complete information on the Sire Test can be found on page 26.

ACA State Junior Association Program

Taking a long-term look at the ACA, we want to do everything possible to strengthen and expand the Junior Program at both the state and national levels. Therefore, the ACA is introducing the ACA State Association Program. Program information can be found on page 10. Additionally, a workshop will be presented at the upcoming National Junior Heifer Show for parents and juniors to explain and promote the program. In essence, we want to encourage every state to organize a state junior association. The junior association must elect at least four officers, hold at least two meetings each year, and send the list of board members, officers, and adult advisors, along with their contact information, and minutes of each meeting, to Heather. This will be published in the Herd Book issue of the Journal.

All-American Awards for Junior Heifers

At their spring meeting, held at the ACA Office in Platte City, the Junior Board requested that the ACA Board consider adding an All-American Program for Junior Heifers. It would be patterned after the All-American Points Program (these results can be found on pages 58-61 of this issue). The Board agreed that this was a good idea. Beginning with the 2019 – 2020 Show Season, an ACA All-American Junior Heifer Points Program will be offered. The following shows will be included: National Junior Heifer Show, North American Junior Show, National Western Junior Show, Ft. Worth Junior Show, ACA Regional Junior Shows, all state fair junior shows, and junior shows held at all state Chianina shows. (Note: If your state hasn’t been scheduling a state show, you should start making plans to do so in 2019. Likewise, if your state schedules a state show, but doesn’t also select junior champions, you should plan to do that this year.) It is the responsibility of each state to make sure that Heather receives the results for each state show. Be sure to include the registration number of each animal exhibited and all placings. This makes it possible to track points.

National Sale

Plans are currently being formulated for the 2019 National Sale. However, it is tentatively planned to be held at the 2019 North American International Livestock Exposition. Ryan, Dustin and Heather are collaborating with Brad Winegardner, chair of the ACA Show & Sale Committee, to plan the event. This will be a live auction, with an online bidding component. Again, if you are a serious Chiangus or Chianina breeder, this is an event in which you will want to participate. If we’re going to do this, we want to make a statement. We want everyone in Louisville to want to take home a Chiangus or Chianina heifer, bull or genetic package. Be thinking about your consignment; about the lot that you want to feature in the national sale. What con-

signment will you select to represent the very best of your program? Contact Dustin, Ryan, Heather or Brad to make a National Sale nomination.

On-line advertising

On-line advertising has become an integral component of our daily life. More and more advertisers are devoting a larger share of their marketing dollars to web-based advertising. In response to requests from our customers, the ACA Board developed a fee schedule for on-line advertising. If you want to promote your sale on the ACA webpage, if you want to promote your sale through e-blasts, or if you simply want to advertise your program on the ACA website, we have an advertising package (or can create one) that meets your needs. Contact Heather for more information. Mercifully, the horrific winter of 2019 has drawn to a close (although many people are still dealing with the flooding along the Missouri River.) All around the country, cows are being turned out on fresh, green grass. Spring calves are basking in the sunshine and frolicking in pastures. Fall calves have been weaned. The spring breeding season is getting underway. Big things are happening at the American Chianina Association. This is a time of rebirth; of new beginnings. Jennifer and Cheryl continue to operate the home office efficiently and effectively; mailing pedigrees and membership packets on the same day in which they are received or downloaded. As always, exemplary customer service is the hallmark of the ACA. Dustin and Ryan are driving lots of miles, making contact with countless breeders; both established and new. They have reached out to organizations outside of the ACA family; you can see the results of their efforts in both the ACJ Herd Book, as well as in the trade show at the National Junior Heifer Show. And Heather, well, is Heather! Evidence of her involvement can be easily seen in this issue of the Journal, by perusing the ACA website and by visiting with the eight Junior Board members who attended the spring board meeting. Welcome home, Heather! It’s no longer “business as usual” at the ACA. This is a brand new day. There is more enthusiasm, excitement, and activity than ever before. Your Board of Directors is working tirelessly to ensure that we’re moving forward, onward and upward. We’ve initiated a lot of change; change that we believe will result in progress. The ACA Staff is dedicated to assisting members in any way they can. I hope that you’ll also do your part to support the ACA in our new endeavors. Not every program will benefit every breeder or member. But everyone can find a new program or initiative that will benefit them, their operation or their state association. (If your state doesn’t currently have a state association, please help get one organized!) Thank you for your support! This is the way that I see it; I hope that you’ll share your vision for the ACA with me, as well as the rest of the Board.

y name is Brad Winegardner and I have been breeding Chianina cattle for the past almost 40 years. After being on the board of directors for six years Heather felt it was way past time for me to submit an article. (LOL)! I have seen many changes with the Chianina breed throughout the years. I have seen some leave and try other breeds and are now seeing them circling back around to using Chi bulls. We are also seeing several of the larger breeders getting involved again as well. Just coming off of our Spring meetings there is a lot of excitement with the two new field men we recently hired. I encourage you to take a few minutes and visit with these two. It will be worth your time as they have a lot of great ideas for our breed. We are also very glad to welcome Heather Counts back and look forward to her managing the shows and the Journal. The experience she brings is immeasurable. It’s encouraging to see things moving in a positive direction. It is our job as breeders to continue promoting our breed and showing others the value that the Chi influence brings to the table, both commercially and in breeding for show cattle. Granted, I’m on the show cattle side of things, but I can personally tell you that other breeds are watching and are very aware that we are getting things back in line. What a top notch staff we have in place in our offices! Jennifer and Cheryl are doing a fantastic job for us and we are in a great place right now. We also appreciate all of the hard work that Ken Culp is doing as President of the Board. He has stepped up big and is doing a great job keeping things running with his excellent organization. We here at Winegardner Klingaman Show Cattle are super pumped about the upcoming Junior Nationals in Des Moines, Iowa. We want to encourage everyone to come out and support the junior association at the show and especially the fundraiser. All proceeds for the Junior auction go to support next years Junior Nationals. The future lies in the AJCA. With that being said, I encourage anyone with ideas, questions or concerns to give any of us on the board a call. Or better yet sit down in the barn with us in Des Moines. See you this Summer!


What does the future hold? by Larry Garrett

Hello chi breeders & enthusiasts,

We are in exciting times for our breed. With the summer quickly approaching it’s time to think about the future of our association. Today I am putting out a challenge to all of you to get involved and show your support in our breed. At our recent board meeting we discussed an idea that was done back in 2002 with great success. It was called the Egg Extravaganza. The Promotions, Benefits & Marketing Committee has been tasked with reviewing this idea and seeing what our membership thinks. The concept of the Egg Extravaganza was simple. Numerous ACA members donated embryos out of their leading dams and tremendous herdsires and AI sires. These embryos were then auctioned of with half the proceeds going to promote Chi cattle and our youth program. The other half of the proceeds were used to pay premiums at the Egg Extravaganza Show, where the calves from the embryo matings were exhibited at a special show during the ACA National Show in Louisville. The last time we did this the Grand Champion Heifer & Bull each received $17,000 in premiums! If the membership is interested in doing something like this again, embryos would be auctioned off this year and the show would be held in 2022, in conjunction with our National Show in Louisville. Let us know your thoughts. We are always working to build more excitement and momentum for the breed and value the input of our membership. Feel free to contact me directly at 765-969-0154 or lgarrett@globalsite.net. Have a great spring and look forward to seeing you at the National Junior Heifer Show in Des Moines.

EDITORS NOTES

Coming Home…

By: Heather Counts, ACA Director of Shows & Activities/ACJ Editor heather@chicattle.org 517-214-0927

I

always look forward to coming home. Whether it was my college years or my time in Michigan while Buck attended Michigan State University, coming home was a time catch up with family and friends, reminisce about times past and look forward to new things in the future. “Coming home” to the ACA was never something I thought would happen. I enjoyed my 10 years with the association from 2002-2012 and always had fond memories of my time here. Fast forward to seven years later and our young family has grown, our farm business is doing well and life is good. But wouldn’t you know it, fate had other things planned! Suddenly, Ken Culp called and asked if I would be interested in returning to the ACA. After the shock wore off and Buck and I had time to discuss the option, I happily called Ken back and said “Yes, I’d love to return to the ACA.” So….here we are. A little over two months back and this “homecoming” has been very similar to those times of “coming home” when I was younger. I’ve enjoyed catching up with old friends and talking about the past, but it’s also been great to look to the future of the association and see what is on the horizon. Excitement is high and we have some great programs planned for our membership. I can’t wait to watch the Association grow and expand in the coming years. Plans are well underway for a fun and exciting week as we

“Double Down in Des Moines” at the 2019 National Junior Heifer Show in June. The Iowa crew, the AJCA Junior Board, Lindsey & I are working hard to make this a show you won’t forget. Entries are strong for the show and I’m looking forward to a great week reconnecting with old friends and meeting new members as well. As we look forward to the upcoming show season, I am excited to announce the new Junior All-American Point Program for the 2019-2020 show season. This is based on the All-American point system for open shows, but will be strictly for junior shows. So, get out there and exhibit your heifers at as many junior shows as possible. We’re planning some fun awards for this. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. The ACA Board also approved an incentive program to help states strengthen and/or start a Junior Association. A strong state junior association is important and we are excited to help this program grow. Check below for specifics of the program. Also, make sure to attend the State Association Program workshop during Junior Nationals for more information. I’m so excited to be back at the ACA! This “homecoming” has been great and I can’t wait to see all of you at the upcoming shows. My phone is always on so don’t hesitate to call, text or email me if you have any questions or ideas. Until next time, Heather

ACA State Junior Association Program Premise: As the ACA is currently show ring driven, the Association should do everything possible to strengthen and expand the Junior Program at both the grassroots (state) and national levels. Proposal: Strengthening State Junior Chianina Associations and the NJHS • Limit of 1 junior association per state (or a state may join a multi-state group.) • Each junior association should adopt by-laws (a template will be provided by the ACA.) • Each junior association must have at least four officers (President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer). Additional officers are optional. • Each junior association must have at least two meetings each year, and the meetings must be held in different months. Minutes must be sent to the ACA Director of Shows and Youth Activities, following the meeting. • Junior Board members will serve two-year terms. • Each state junior association must send the names and contact information of their directors, officers and advisors to the ACA Director of Shows and Youth Activities by April 1, annually (to be included in the Herd Book issue of the ACJ.)

A Team Building Weekend in Platte City By: Ashlynne Beninga, President

T

he weekend of March 9-11, myself and the other Junior Board members met with Heather Counts and Ken Culp in Platte City to discuss the upcoming Junior Nationals, Online Fundraising Auction and other plans for junior programs. We began our Saturday full of meetings with a few team building activities, including mind puzzles and riddles, personality games and mostly a lot of laughter. After our morning of laughs and growing as a board, we set some major goals for our team, including understanding the importance of team work across all facets of our breed, creating a long term plan to grow our junior programs and continuing to host the most fun and impactful Junior Nationals. We also set our sights on programs and events we hope to enact in the future, with major interest being on strong and supportive state associations, new fundraising ideas, better social media promotion, a joint breed leadership conference, regional shows, and a Junior All– American point system. We all know Rome was not built in a day, and while we are very excited for the future of these programs, we had to shift our focus to a more eminent event – 2019 Junior Nationals. We had a in depth discussion on the drafting of more detailed and explicitly stated showmanship rules, that will be published in the 2019 Junior Nationals Rule Book. We made decisions on what kind of prizes we would like to give our participants and winners, which I will say we are all very excited about. Along with these prizes, we have decided to bring back the opportunity for breeders to sponsor a Champion, Division or a Class, to help us reward our juniors for their dedication and hard work. Sponsor names will be announced along with the award during Junior Nationals. Award sponsorships are available for the Chianina Female Show, the Chiangus Female Show, the Progress and Prospect Steer Show, and the Bred & Owned Bull & Female Shows. Please feel free to reach out to a Junior Board Member to take advantage of the opportunity. Along with Junior Nationals comes another election for the AJCA Board of Directors. This summer, we have six positions to fill. This is your time to further your involvement in this breed, and grow in this amazing leadership programs. Applications can be found on the American Junior Chianina Board of Directors Facebook page and the AJCA tab on the ACA website. I cannot say enough great thing about the amazing impact that my involvement with the AJCA has had on my life, my network of friends and my leadership abilities. If you have any further questions on the roles and responsibilities of the Junior Board, your application, or your campaign at Junior Nationals, please feel free to reach out to myself or another Junior Board member. We are all grateful for this weekend of personal growth, and development of the Junior Board. We hope you take advantage of all these new opportunities, and cannot wait to see you all in Des Moines!


Spring 2019 Flooding By: Dylan Mente

A

cross parts of Nebraska and Iowa there has been some major flooding which has been devastating to farmers in these areas and among other states. Many farmers have had damage to many of their assets or even lost them. With such a widespread disaster on farms the entire agriculture industry is going to feel the effects of this flood even if it was nowhere near you. Nebraska was one of the hardest hit states by this enormous flooding. Nebraska Governor Pete Rickets has said that this is the “most widespread disaster we have had in our state’s history.” Officials have estimated that there will be well over $400 million in damage to crops and well over $500 million in lost livestock. There were many efforts to save livestock, even helicopters dropping bales of hay to stranded cattle, but even with all the help there were so many cattle lost or killed that there hasn’t been a solid estimate yet. As the agricultural community usually does, it came together to support each other. There have been efforts all across the country to help support the farmers who have had major losses due to this devastating flood. People have been helping out in many ways from donating money to feed and hay to supplies. Seeing how this amazing industry comes together makes me so proud and thankful that I have grown up in the agriculture industry. I would like the farmers who have been affected by this devastating flood to know how much this amazing country is trying to help them and that many people are praying for them everyday. Not everyone has felt the effects of this flooding as much as some have, but many want to see these farmers get back on their feet and really enjoy seeing how great this industry is by all of the support that is going to the victims of this flooding.

OFFICE NOTES

Office Greetings By: Cheryl Minyard, Registrar & Membership Coordinator

G

reetings from Platte City where it is FINALLY starting to look like Spring around here! Jennifer and I have survived the long winter and are excited about all the changes going on here at the Chianina Association. It is great to have Heather back in charge of Shows and The Journal. She has really hit the ground running with the built-in bonus of already knowing most of our members and the job itself so it is a win-win with her! Ryan and Dustin have also been great additions to our team and they have been out there burning up the road doing farm visits and representing us at your sales. Things have been rolling along very smoothly in the office and we are truly hoping that this year is our best year yet for registration and transfer numbers. Speaking of registration numbers, in an effort to make sure your registration work goes through without a hitch, please remember two very important things ... You MUST pay for the work you do, whether it is completed online or work you mail in. The second and equally important item is any embryo calves you register out of donor dams; make sure your dams have the required testing on file with us. Right now, we currently have quite a few online registrations that are kicking out because the dams have little or no testing. We have been pretty lenient in the past about letting the first few go through but are no longer allowed to do that. Unless your donor dams have been tested for anything they are suspect for and have a DNA Parentage result on file, we will not be able to process registrations from them. This also goes for your sires and keep in mind that any bulls born after 2017 must have DNA on file with us, even your herd sires and commercial bulls. If you could have all this testing squared away before you try to register embryo calves from them, we can knock these registrations out the day they come in and be out in the mail that afternoon. If there is anything that you don’t understand, please don’t hesitate to call us. We hope your spring calving season has gone well. The weather conditions some of you have had to deal with have been absolutely unreal with the late snowstorms and flooding up north, not to mention the fires out west last fall. Hopefully those days are over for this year and you are enjoying great weather and even greater cattle prices! If any of you are passing by Platte City, please stop in and see us. We rarely get visitors but when we do, it is always so fun to meet you!

FIELD NOTES

Notes from the Field By: Dustin Hurlbut, Director of Sales/Marketing, Western Field Representative dustin@chicattle.org 605.380.8052

H

ello everyone, I would like to take a minute to introduce myself. I am Dustin Hurlbut from Raymond, S.D. and I’m your new Director of Sales/Marketing-Western Field Representative. I grew up in Raymond and raise Angus and Simmental cattle with my family. My wife Jeana and daughter Bayler have the same passion for the cattle industry as I do. Jeana and I both grew up showing cattle and are excited to raise Bayler and our daughter due in August the same way! I am excited to work with you on promoting your cattle and operation and look forward to meeting everyone along the way. The winter has been one for the record books, no matter what part of the country you live in. From a record cold polar vortex in the upper part of the United States in January and February, to the record rainfalls in February and mud in the east, to the flooding in Nebraska right into an April blizzard for the Dakotas and Minnesota, it’s been a tough winter. It’s truly a challenge every where for everyone and when things happen that are devastating the livestock industry steps up to help in any way they can, from online benefits to people hauling hay to Nebraska ranchers who lost their hay in the floods! I have seen on social media hay coming from all over the place. What a great industry we are apart of! I hit the ground running March 1st and have attended a few bull sales and made a couple herd visits in my first month. I have talked to a lot of breeders on the phone introducing myself and checking in to see if we can help them with anything from promoting their operation in the herd reference book or helping promote their sales on our social media account and website! We have lots of things and opportunities coming down the pipe for you the producer and are excited to work with you on them! We have a sire test with the University of Illinois in the works and will cost share it with you to get data for you and the association. If you have a bull you want to nominate contact one of us or look in this issue for more details. We are also looking into having a National Sale again in Louisville. We will make that decision in May if there is enough interest. We are looking to have live lots of bred and open heifers and a few genetic packages and flushes in the sale. Please let Ryan or me know if you have interest in the sale. We had board meetings the first part of April and I got to meet all the board of directors and I will tell you that one word describes

| CHIANINA JOURNAL | MAY/JUNE

them all and that is passionate! We had very productive committee meetings and a board meeting. I am looking forward to starting to make herd visits in my region and meeting everyone. I will also be at the National Junior Heifer Show in Des Moines, Iowa all week so if you are around during the week please introduce yourself and we can talk about the things the association can do for you. My phone is always on so feel free to call, text or email me if you need anything. One thing is very evident and that is the cattle of the Chi breed are great,but the people behind them are even better!

FIELD NOTES

Notes from the field By: Ryan Robb, Director of Sales/Marketing, Eastern Field Representative

A

s your new ACA Director of Sales & Marketing for the Eastern Region, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for the warm welcome I’ve received across the many states. Beginning this position with the ACA was like being invited to a potluck dinner – anticipating a variety of foods and personalities along with great conversations and fun! Growing up in a large family in a small farming community, I attended many such dinners. Families put a great deal of pride into preparing homegrown meats. Grandma and Granny put their hearts into homemade noodles and made-from-scratch desserts! There were potatoes, casseroles, salads, vegetable dishes, fruit, candies…something for everyone to enjoy. Mom would remind us a potluck was an opportunity to try a new recipe or fill up on your favorites. Be polite if you dislike a dish because someone put great effort into making it. Remember to give a special thanks to those who brought something you really enjoyed. Take time to visit with everyone there and make each one feel welcomed and connected! Be sincere. While the food was delicious, the relationships were even better! Time was spent remembering “the good ole days”. Recounting old stories. Talking about current times and trends. Forward looking to individual plans and dreams. Everyone was different but we were all at the table together. Not uniform, but UNIFIED! My experience so far with the ACA has mirrored a potluck. Chianina and Chiangus breeders are diverse. Programs and goals may have similarities or drastically be different. Genetics and percentages are various among our membership. Geography and resources are different. However, there is a need to be connected as members, feel supported, and work together with respect and UNITY! I’ve spent a great deal of time this spring reaching out to members to listen to their needs and share opportunities by phone and in person. I look forward to getting to know many more members and prospects in the coming month. As I make calls and conduct herd visits I will continue to listen with an

open mind. I’m looking for insight into your needs, issues, industry trends and more. How can I help you create value? My aim is to help you see what is possible in your program and reach your potential. • A few members have the objective of preserving and promoting the power of the Fullblood Chianina and the flexibility of use for which the breed has always gained recognition. • Others are focused on performance and carcass characteristics and educating the consumer about unique attributes of a fullblood or percentage premium beef product. • Many many other operations are developing the type of percentage Chianina show cattle trending today and looking forward to what it will take to win the banner tomorrow. • Chiangus breeders are utilizing the hybrid advantage in maternal and terminal traits to make a tremendous difference across the industry while gaining impressive traction as a breed in the show rings. • So many members have breeding animals to market that will be impactful within and outside our breeds! There is something for every member at the Chianina and Chiangus potluck! We need everyone. We ALL are important. Strength is gained when we bring our unique best to the table at ACA. Revive your state associations. Support and develop our juniors to lead. Show up! Get involved! Create new opportunities! Listen! Be heard! Be respectful of differences, supportive of each other and be united! As your Director of Sales and Marketing for the Eastern Region, my goal is to increase member engagement and grow registrations of our breeds by creating diverse opportunities in a positive, well-informed, and unified direction. I look forward to what we can do TOGETHER!

Thoughts from the President by Jessica Cheesman, President

Greetings from Indiana! It sure felt like Spring was never going to arrive with the numerous snow storms and negative degree temperatures we had this Winter. With milder temperatures here to stay, it’s time to start planning for the upcoming show season. I hope everyone is making plans to attend the Junior Nationals in Des Moines, Iowa, June 23-28. The junior board has been working very hard to make this year a great success. Junior Nationals is a great place where you will meet many new faces and memories will be made that you will remember for the rest of your life. The queen contest will be held at the Junior Nationals this year and winners will be announced during the show. Thank you to this year’s Queen, Sydney Wisnefski, and Princess Cheyenne Kiser. You have both represented our breed very well! Scholarships will also be awarded at the banquet in Des Moines. If you will be a high school senior next year, applications are on the website at www.chicattle.org. It’s never too early to start working on this scholarship. It’s a few months away, but it is time to start thinking about Louisville. We will have our annual luncheon/meeting and elect new board members and officers. As always we will have our Silent Auction, so start digging deep for great items to bring. Last year was a great success with so many items donated. Let’s make this year even bigger! All proceeds will go to help the queen and other activities throughout the year. I hope everyone can make the trip to Des Moines this summer, and best of luck to all juniors!

What a great year!

by Kelsey Evans, Vice President & Royalty Coordinator Fellow Chi Breeders and Enthusiasts – The Ladies Auxiliary has had an outstanding past year. As most of you know, we exceeded our own hopes and expectations in Grand Island with the Brand T-Shirt fund raiser, raising $3,675 in just under 10 minutes! The shirts are available for purchase for $30 and come in both royal blue and black, crew cut and v-neck. If you’re interested in purchasing shirts, contact myself (859) 553-3059 or Jill Miller (770) 654-1510. We will be happy to ship shirts to you upon request or you can also purchase them/pick them up during the NJHS in Des Moines. Funds from this will go toward scholarships given by the Auxiliary. Applications for the 2019-2020 ACA Royalty are due to me by May 15th. Please send a letter of interest and photo to my address below. I will contact each applicant individually once I receive your application. New this year, we will be hosting a “Queen’s Tea” at the NJHS. Both the Chi and Maine Royalty, past and present, will be there to talk about the role/duties of the Royalty. We hope all girls interested in running, anytime in the future, will attend the Tea and enjoy a little bit of girl time! I want to say a special thank you to Sydney Wisnefski and Cheyenne Kiser, the 2018-2019 ACA National Queen and Princess, for their past year of service. Both ladies have represented our breed, association and themselves in the most professional way. I personally hope both girls have enjoyed their reign and will continue to be involved within the ACA. If there are any questions about the Brand T-Shirts, ACA National Queen or Princess Contest or the Auxiliary in general, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing you all in Des Moines!

Student Owned Beef Sales Company Gains Traction

Oak Barn Beef was incorporated on 4/13/18 and has hit the ground running ever since. Owner Hannah Esch is a sixth-generation rancher and is a Junior Animal Science student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and involved with the Engler Entrepreneurship Program. Oak Barn Beef ships high quality beef to families from the family farm. They connect the product to consumers by providing education on ethical ranching practices and sharing their unique story for a true farm-to-table experience. “When a third grader from a rural community told me that eggs came from cows because they were next to the milk in the grocery store, I realized a huge educational gap existed between producers and consum-

22

| CHIANINA JOURNAL | MAY/JUNE

ers and the there was an opportunity to help consumers feel connected to the people producing their food. So, Oak Barn Beef was born,” states Esch. And born it is, just celebrating their one-year birthday, Oak Barn Beef has shipped beef to 16 states and educated 2,800 Instagram followers daily at @OakBarnBeef with short stories on her family farm’s happenings of the day. Hannah feels it is important for consumers to understand where their beef comes from and not hide the struggles/realities that might come with this. Hannah plans to continue this business when she graduates, growing Oak Barn Beef to become full-time, expanding into new E-Commerce facets. The beef is raised on the family farm in Unadilla, Neb., then cut and dry-aged at a USDA inspected locker. If you’re unfamiliar with the dry aging process, Hannah describes it like this; “It’s like giving a good cheese or wine time to mature. The natural enzymes in beef break down the muscle tissue, and it results in a much more tender and flavorful product.” In addition to this, Oak Barn Beef DNA tests their cattle through Neogen-Geneseek, a company in Lincoln, Neb. By focusing on carcass traits in the DNA test, they can ensure that the beef is higher quality from the beginning! Oak Barn Beef raises predominantly ChiAngus cattle. Chianina’s are known for their superior tenderness and meat quality, which always shows in the DNA test results. Recently Oak Barn Beef had the opportunity to pitch to ABC’s Shark Tank and later that week, won $25,000 in a business pitch

contest! This contest was hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s College of Business and Center for Entrepreneurship. 48 teams started in the competition, but three rounds later only 4 teams were left to compete for the final award winnings. Two $25,000 awards were awarded to two first place teams and Oak Barn Beef was ecstatic to receive one of them. The money will be dedicated to Marketing Expansion so the company can reach their large growth expectancy in 2019. Oak Barn Beef seems like a simple idea but it has been making leaps and bounds for being a year old and run by a full-time college student. Oak Barn Beef has had $45,000 in sales since May 2018 to over 100 customers. When asked what her biggest motivation is for building this business, Hannah replied that she loves to educate about agriculture, and she wants to build a legacy with Oak Barn Beef. “I grew up with two very entrepreneurial parents who taught their three daughters the power of hard work, dedication to free enterprise and passion. I want to pass these traits on to my future children and Oak Barn Beef is the perfect opportunity to do so.” Hannah is proud to be on the forefront of the next generation of agricultural and to be educating the next generation of consumers.

New Shows Announced at Indiana State Fair

The Indiana State Fair has agreed to allow the Indiana State Chianina Association to sponsor two additional shows at the 2019 fair. There will be the first ever CHIANGUS open show and a “Chi-Influenced” Jackpot registered Chi Feeder Steer Show. Both shows


Bulletin will be held on Aug. 7, 2019, the same day as the regular Open Chi Show. Early entries are due by July 1, but late entries will be accepted untiil Aug. 6. For more information, contact Matt Michel at 812-632-0379 or John Blake at 815-3832618.

New JUNIOR All-American Program Implemented

Starting with the 2019-2020 show season, the ACA will implement a Junior All-American program. The program is based off of the current ACA All-American program, but will apply to junior shows and recognize junior members who have made the effort to exhibit their animal at numerous shows

throughout the show season. The following shows will be recognized as points shows for this program: National Junior Heifer Show, NAILE Junior Show, Ft. Worth Youth Show, National Western Junior Show, junior shows at all major shows, state fair junior shows and state association junior shows. Please note, state fair and state association junior shows only qualify if they are open to juniors from all states. If you have questions regarding the Junior All-American program, please contact Heather Counts, ACA Director of Shows & Activities, at 517-214-0927.

Genetic Testing Reminders

please note the following policies regarding Genetics Testing & DNA Info: • All ACA registered bulls born after January 1, 2017 must be DNA parent verified befre their progeny can be registered. • All ACA registered natural calves born after January 1, 2019 out of a cow that is fifteen years of age or older at birth of the calf must be DNA parent verified. • AI Sires & Donor dams for embryo calves must have genetic testing and DNA parentage on file before calves will be registered. If you have questions regarding this policy, please call the office.

Before submitting registrations to the ACA,

Proposed Rule Change to Rules of Registration “Scurs” Due to technological advances, DNA testing can now be performed to determine if an animal is genetically horned or polled, regardless of the presence of scurs. The board recognizes the economic and cosmetic advantages of removing scurs from animals. In the past, the removal of scurs rendered an animal “dehorned.” Today, genetic testing provides the opportunity to determine if an animal is genetically polled or horned. In such cases, the scurs may be removed without changing the genetic makeup or classification of an animal. Therefore, the ACA Board of Directors is considering changing the highlighted sentences in the Rules of Registration, Section II.C.1. and Appendix B as follows: RULE II - ACA CATTLE- QUALIFICATIONS FOR REGISTRATION C. Composite Breeds 1. Chiangus- ACA cattle known as “Chiangus” are eligible for registration based upon any mating between Chianina, Chiangus, Red Chiangus, Angus or 1A Red Angus registered with the American Angus Association, Red Angus Association of American or the ACA, as a *Foundation “F” parent which results in a black or red (white is acceptable only from the naval back and contained to the underline) polled, or scurred offspring that contains no more than 6.25% of another breed may be registered as a Chiangus. Scurs or scur tissue cannot be altered or removed (surgically or otherwise) from

Chiangus born after January 1, 1992 unless they have been genetically tested and found to be polled. Cattle showing as Chiangus or Red Chiangus that are determined to have heads that have been altered, must produce a DNA test whose results have found the animal to be polled and parent verified, in order to show as a Chiangus. APPENDIX B: SCURS Scurs or scur tissue may not be removed or altered from cattle registered in the ACA Registry as Chiangus or Red Chiangus and exhibited at ACA sponsored shows unless they have been genetically tested and found to be polled. Surgically altering scurs and or pasting with caustic paste, grinding, sanding, or shelling off the scurs without a genetic test identifying the animal as polled will cause the animal to be removed from the Chiangus or Red Chiangus Herd Book and placed in the Chianina (Chi-influenced) Herd Book. Cattle showing as Chiangus or Red Chiangus that are determined to have heads that have been altered, must produce a DNA test whose results have found the animal to be polled and parent verified, in order to show as a Chiangus.

New ACA Sire Test

T

he ACA has a tremendous opportunity to increase the value of bulls; particularly for those breeders who either currently host a bull sale, sell bulls privately, or plan to expand their marketing efforts to include selling bulls to commercial cattlemen. The American Chianina Association, in collaboration with the University of Illinois, will be conducting a Sire Test. Up to 15 bulls will be accepted into the test. Twenty Angus and/or SimAngus cows at the Dixon Springs Herd, will be inseminated to each bull. The resulting calves will be born in September, 2020, and will be fed out at the University of Illinois in Champaign. All cattle will be harvested around August 1, 2021. Complete data will be collected on every calf, from conception through harvest. Because of the number of progeny and the number of sire groups in the contemporary group, the accuracies on each trait for each bull will increase significantly. The attached ACA Sire Test Fact Sheet explains the program in detail. The ACA will provide a 50% cost-share match for each bull nominated. (The cost for each bull is $3,000, of which, the breeder will pay $1500 and the ACA will pay $1500.) For additional information, please contact Ken Culp, III, Ryan Robb, or Dustin Hurlbut.

Procedure:

To test and evaluate the genetic potential of Chiangus and Chianina sires. • Evaluate and compare the progeny of Chiangus and Chianina sires by evaluating their performance, carcass merit, feed intake, feed conversion, and profitability. • Increase the amount of performance data collected on Chiangus and Chianina sires, thereby improving the accuracy of every trait measured. • Determine the genetic potential of the Chiangus and Chianina bulls available to purebred and commercial producers. • Document the advantages of using Chiangus and Chiangus genetics in commercial cattle operations. • Increase the value of Chiangus and Chianina bulls by establishing their genetic merit through the Sire Test. • Provide the ACA with documentable evidence that will be promoted, shared, and advertised throughout the commercial cattle industry. • Breeders must nominate bulls to participate in the Sire Test. • Up to 15 bulls may be nominated. • Breeders must provide 20 units of semen for each bull. The nomination fee is $3000/bull. The ACA is offering a cost-share of $1500 per bull, for bulls whose nomination fee is received by October 1, 2019. Checks are payable to the ACA. The first 15 bulls with paid nominations will be accepted into the test. (Fees will be returned if the bull is not accepted.) (Nomination fee covers the cost of synchronizing and inseminating the cows, use of Growsafe bunks, and collecting extensive data over the lifetime of the calves, including complete carcass data.) • The University of Illinois Dixon Springs Ag Center herd, consisting of fall calving, mature purebred Angus, ¼ blood SimAngus and half-blood SimAngus will be inseminated on December 15, 2019. • Calves will be born in September, 2020. Birth weights, calving ease scores, and weaning weights will be collected at the Dixon Ag Center. • All cattle will be moved, post-weaning, to the University of Illinois – Champaign, to be fed with Growsafe bunks to facilitate the measurement of individual dry matter intake and feed to gain ratios. Yearling weights will be taken, with post-weaning gain measurements made. (This is a terminal trial; everything will be harvested.) • Steers and heifers will be harvested around December 1, 2021. A complete set of actual carcass data will be collected. • The ACA will cover the cost of genotyping each calf entering the finishing phase. • All calves entering the finishing phase will be issued an ACA performance pedigree.

Nominations: Contact either Dustin Hurlbut at 605.380.8052 or Ryan Robb at 217.778.3509 to reserve space and nominate your sire(s).

Fullbloods…

the Foundation of the breed!

Bando

Bando as a 5-year-old in the LaFratta herd. Bando is one of the greatest bulls of any breed – Ever. How much different would you want him to be? He is in the pedigree of the majority of American Chi cattle.

Chianina (pronounced Kee-a-nee-na) is one of the oldest breeds of cattle in the world. Originating in Central Italy, Chianina were initially introduced into the United States in 1971, when the first Chianina semen was imported. The first Chianina born in the U.S. was a black half-blood Chianina X Angus/Holstein bull calf born on January 31, 1972. Beginning in 1975, Italian Fullblood Chianina were exported from Canada into this country. Herds that have registered Fullblood Chianina cattle in the last two years.

onday, January 21, 2019 dawned bright and clear in the Mile High City. The air was crisp; but for most of the folks who made the pilgrimage to Denver, it was a welcome change not to be wearing muckboots, Carhartts, sweatshirts and gloves. The historic Stadium Arena hosted the junior heifer show, as well as the open Chianina and Chiangus Heifer and Bull shows. We anticipated a great show, and we weren’t disappointed. Chianina and Chiangus heifers competed together in the junior show. A total of 33 heifers paraded before judge Parker Henley, Urbana, Ill. Parker consistently found eye appealing, structurally correct, useful females that fit together logically. When the smoke cleared from the championship lineup, Sara Sullivan, Dunlap, Iowa, left the ring with both the Grand and Reserve Grand Females. Half sibs, they were sired by ASHW Who Da Man. Sara’s bred and owned female, JSUL Sassy Jalynn 7505E ET was selected as the Grand Champion. A gorgeous fronted, swan-necked, feminine featured, deep sided female, Sassy Jalynn was perhaps the most popular Chianina female campaigned during the 2018-19 show season. “Sassy Jalynn” was the Champion AOB Heifer in the Junior Show at the North American, and emerged as the Grand Champion Female in the National Open Show. Tyler Winegardner led BMW Ace 402E ET into the ring for Sara, and left carrying the Reserve Grand banner. She was out of Winegardner’s venerable “Ace” cow. “Ace” was a moderate, three-dimensional, fault-free, sound moving brood cow prospect. Of the 11 classes in the Junior Show, three different bulls each sired two class winners. These bulls included ASHW Who Da Man 1CM, Colburn Primo 5153, and Silveras Style 9303. Mark Hoge worked through the open bulls and heifers. The show began with Chiangus females. Ty Goss from Leedey, Okla., led a Higgins-bred October 24 heifer, HIGG Exquisite 703E to the backdrop. She was sired by the calving ease specialist, HIGG Clockwork 88C. Tyson Fox, from Fort Morgan, Colo., exhibited the Reserve Grand Champion Heifer. A Dunklau-bred February 2018 calf, she was sired by BOST 21Y Cupid 39C. In the Open Chianina heifer show, the popular pair of Who Da Man daughters were split. Katie Mize from North Manchester, Ind., emerged from class 3 with a March 2, 2018 Bismark daughter TSSC Who’s Watching 823F ET. She combined structural correctness with natural

spread and thickness. BMW Ace 402E ET, who had been Reserve Grand in the Junior Show, was again selected as Reserve. Five exceptional bulls were exhibited in the Chiangus show, with the Junior Yearling class featuring three of the best bulls to parade across the tanbark this season. When the smoke cleared from that class and division, a Higgins-bred entry, owned by Melroe Farms, got the nod. HIGG Encore 78E, sired by Bush’s Unbelievable 423 1CA, was Grand Champion, with WSCC Perfect Storm 63E ET following in Reserve. (Ventura Farm’s entry VF TR Trail Boss 701 PCA ET pushed them all of the way.) In the open Chianina bull show, Justin Tracy made a trip to the Denver backdrop with TRAC Fetish 750E. This was the second consecutive year that Tracy Cattle Co. exhibited a Denver Champion bull. Interestingly, the 2019 Champion Chianina bull was a son of the 2018 Denver Champion Chiangus bull, MEFC Unanimous 542C. Doug Satree, Montague, Texas, led daughter Katy’s entry DAJS Unyielding 924 into Reserve. An April 2018 calf, Unyielding continues to be highly successful on the tanbark at the majors. The Chianina and Chiangus cattle making the trip to Denver were high quality representatives of which we can all be proud. Congratulations to the breeders and exhibitors that bred and campaigned these outstanding individuals. It takes a lot of hands on deck to coordinate an efficient and smoothly run show. Andrea Paulsen checked in the cattle, divided classes, printed the programs, and organized the show crew. Junior Board members Ashlynne Beninga, Shelby Manning, Samantha Podzimek, Dylan Mente, and Kassidy Bremer professionally represented the AJCA and the ACA and did a commendable job working the ring. (They also tried, with varying degrees of success, to get Hayley Dunklau to share her chicken tenders and French fries!) Cheyenne Kiser, the National Chianina Princess, flew in from Kentucky to preside over the show in place of Sydney Wisnefski, the National Queen, who was in Springfield, Ill., competing in the Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Pageant. Former National Queen, Laurel Culp, lined up the classes in the makeup ring. Dr. Rob Sheets weighed all of the bulls. (It was impressive to see that each of the junior yearlings weighed in excess of a ton!) The ACA appreciates all of the help and assistance provided by our willing, energetic and enthusiastic volunteers. ~ Ken Culp, III

orty Chiangus and Chianina heifers competed in the Youth Show at the Fort Worth Stock Show on Friday, Feb. 1. Jon Sweeney, Michigan City, Ind., did an exemplary job of evaluating and describing entries. Jon consistently selected elegant, feminine, structurally correct, three-dimensional, fancy females, with extra look, rib shape and belly. There were five divisions in the youth show, with 10 heifers being selected as division champion or reserve. Of these 10, three were Chiangus. Ladd Landgraf, from Madill, Okla., won his first major in a Chianina show with MINN Daddy’s Favorite 305F. Born on April 22, 2018, she was the fifth youngest heifer in the show. Sired by Daddy’s Money 55Z and bred by Jason Minnaert, Ladd’s heifer is 8.37% Chianina. Sara Sullivan’s January 26, 2018 entry, JSUL Who Dat Steiner 826F ET, followed in Reserve. A bred and owned entry, Sara’s heifer was 15.1% Chianina. Tyler Winegardner, Lima, Ohio, evaluated the Open Chianina and Chiangus Shows. Tyler sought out complete, sound structured, freewheeling, maternally made heifers that looked like brood cow prospects. Thirty eight Chianina females were exhibited in the Open Show. Sara Sullivan, Dunlap, Iowa, returned to the backdrop, when JSUL Who Dat Steiner 826F ET was slapped as the Grand Champion heifer. “Steiner” is a daughter of “Who Da Man.” Newcomer Keagan Steck, Woodstock, Minn., exhibited the Reserve Grand Champion Heifer, DUNK MW Lucy 807F ET. Bred by his uncle, Ryan Dunklau, “Lucy” is a daughter of “Onset” and a granddaughter of “Who Da Man.” Five bull calves were exhibited in the Chianina bull show. Jeff’s Cattle Company, Stephenville, Texas, showed the Grand Champion, JFS Who’s Styling 429F, an April 25 son of Silveiras Style 9303. The popular and consistent champion, DAJS Unyielding 924, a son of “Unstoppable” was selected as Reserve Grand Champion. “Unyielding” is owned by Katy Satree and was capably exhibited by her dad. Eleven stout heifers graced the green shavings in the Chiangus show. Tyson Fox, Fort Morgan, Colo., exhibited DUNK Cupid’s Lady 801F, a February 23, 2018 daughter of BOST 21Y Cupid 39C. Winner of the second

class, she was selected as the Grand Champion Chiangus Heifer. Three heifers were in serious contention for Reserve Grand Champion. Tyler opted to keep the pair of heifers from the second class together when he chose HIGG Fire Away 88F ET as Reserve. Sired by PVF Insight 0129 and bred by Higgins Farms, Watertown, Tenn., she was exhibited by Tatum Miller, Big Spring, Texas, and is 12.51% Chianina. Five Chiangus bulls were exhibited in three divisions. The Higgins, from Tennessee, had a family feud in the Grand Champion bull drive, when they showed three division champions; each of whom was bred by a different family member! Andy bred the Division 1 Champion, HIGG Franchise 868F. Sired by HIGG Clockwork 88C, and 10.99% Chianina, he was slapped as the Grand Champion. John Higgins bred HIGG Freight Train 812F ET, who won Division 2, and was selected as the Reserve Grand Champion. He was sired by the Red Angus bull AHL Flashback 446B and is 10.22% Chianina. Amelia bred the Division 3 Champion, HIGG Second Helping 77E, who was also a Clockwork son. Another 2CA, he was 16.46% Chianina. Although she forgot her crown (which will likely never happen again!) Sydney Wisnefski capably officiated over the youth and both open shows as the ACA National Queen and the breeds official ambassador. The AJCA Embryo Draw Down was announced during the Open Show. The Southwest Chianina Association provided $2,000 in additional premiums to support the shows. AJCA junior board members Brooklyn Curtin from Oxford, Iowa, and Maggie Johnson, from Churubusco, Ind., assisted both Jon Sweeney and Tyler Winegardner by working the ring and keeping the cattle moving. Once again, the Fort Worth Stock Show hosted an outstanding set of cattle in both the Youth and Open Shows. The quality of heifer calves was incredible; I can’t wait to see these heifers this summer and next fall. ~ Ken Culp, III

FEATURE EDITORIAL

Schrick Land & Cattle

Providing an Education in Life written by Ken Culp, III

W

hen Keith learned that I would be in Fort Worth for the Stock Show, he enthusiastically extended an invitation to spend the day after the show with him and his family. I had visited Schrick Land & Cattle on previous occasions; always intrigued by the home that they had built (if you’ve never had the opportunity to visit the Schrick residence, be sure to put that on your bucket list!) as well as the cattle that roamed and grazed their expansive pastures. Keith provided directions to their liquor store and asked me to meet him there. I will readily admit; I haven’t spend a lot of time browsing in liquor stores. (If that surprises you, you’ve obviously never met my mother.) But this one provided quite an education. Dana greeted me warmly, introduced me to the staff and suggested that I “look around.” The store is like everything in Texas; it’s big! (I didn’t ask the dimensions, but I could easily turn my truck and gooseneck around inside it without backing up.) One half of the store is devoted to wine. Aisle upon aisle of wine. This is Dana’s domain. Red, white, rose’. Domestic and imported. Wine for $3 a bottle and those that sold for exponentially more. Dana offered a tour; I readily accepted. There is a special wine cooler (The High Falutin Cellar), kept under lock and key, for the “expensive” wines. (I found a bottle priced at $3300.91!!!)

Dana kept up a running commentary, but used terms that I understood. I’m not a wine connoisseur, but I was fascinated. I (wrongly) assumed that one who knew so much about wine would sample only the best. She told me that if a person came to the store and inquired about a specific wine, it was her responsibility to be able to describe it to them. Of course, she described specific bottles in terms and tastes that I couldn’t really differentiate…a “peppery” taste, a “hint of the oak cask,” a “pleasant bouquet,” a “fruity” flavor (since wine is made from grapes and grapes are a fruit, this didn’t make a lot of sense to me). At any rate, knowledgeable people fascinate me; I was in the presence of a master. Dana knows her clientele. She has customers who drive in from California, and return home with three cases of wine that she has ordered and stocked specifically for them. As Dana explained it, if you know your clientele, their likes and dislikes, and can make an initial sale, they’ll return. On the return trip, you may be able to gradually teach them to expand their tastes and buying preferences. The other half of the store is Keith’s domain. It was devoted to liquors and mixers. Having lived in Kentucky for 20 years, I knew more about the whiskeys and bourbons. (Whiskey is, after all, made from corn. I grew up in the largest corn-producing county in Indiana. Whiskey, therefore, is an

agricultural commodity. I’m a specialist in the University of Kentucky’s College of Agriculture, Food & Environment; I can justify this excursion to my mother as an agritourism seminar…) Row upon row of liquors. All kinds, varieties, sizes, proofs,and flavors. Dana told me that there were 90,000 different bar codes in the store. Ninety thousand!!!! (And, every bar code had multiple items.) It was amazing. Keith returned from his errand and suggested that we leave for lunch. (Jason was meeting us at a local restaurant.) Dana, however, hadn’t completed the tour; we were meandering through the store room, and finally through the inner sanctum of the Schrick’s private office. (I could have spent longer in the office, but Keith and Jason were waiting.) I did, however, see several American Chianina Journals that were an earlier vintage than many of the wine bottles I’d seen. We drove to the restaurant, where my education on wines continued. Jason had arrived before we did (as Keith had predicted), and had already ordered appetizers. The waitress greeted the Schricks like old friends (and, of course, they were) and asked Dana what vintage she’d like. (Keith ordered a margarita; his signature drink.) Dana asked me what kind of wine I’d be drinking. “If we both drink the same wine, I will order a bottle.” (I don’t generally drink wine for lunch). I told her that we almost certainly drank different kinds of wine. “Why would you think that?” she inquired. “I like a sweeter wine, and I’m sure that you prefer a dry wine” I replied. “Of course” she said. “What kind of grape do you prefer?” Now, I must confess, before that day, I knew only two things about grapes. There were red and white varieties; and you

could buy them with seeds or without. (Although why anyone would buy grapes with seeds was beyond me.) But I certainly wasn’t going to reveal how little I knew about grapes to “the master.” Therefore, I suggested that she order for me. She asked a couple of questions, quizzed the waitress and placed an order. And, of course, her choice was exactly right. People who know me understand that I gather information by asking open-ended, probing questions. And the three Schricks, being patient, gracious hosts, allowed me the opportunity to get to know them better, in the manner that I like best. And so, the inquest began; and the family stories followed. The real beginning took place on January 1, 1972, when Dana Chapman became the bride of Keith Schrick. I asked Keith why he chose to get married on New Year’s Day. He smiled and replied ,“Because I didn’t yet understand that if I’d have gotten married one day earlier, I could have claimed the marital tax deduction for an entire year, while supporting a wife for only a single day!” Dana rolled her eyes and muttered “what a romantic.” Keith grew up showing Angus heifers. But he was intrigued by the Continental breeds that were introduced in the 1970s. He tried them all; and soon determined that Chianina cattle were best suited for their environment, needs and breeding objectives. The Schrick boys were some of the early members of the American Junior Chianina Association and they exhibited at some of the first national junior heifer shows. In the early 1990s, the Schricks made a pilgrimage to Toulon, Ill., and visited the Horsely family. They started buying heifers from the

…continued

Horselys; the most famous cow family that returned to Texas was named “Lace.” SLC built an entire dynasty around the Lace cow family. In 2003, Keith purchased the entire herd from J.T. Pass. PCC Flash Magic PCA, PCC El Patron and VOL L J J002 2CA all came with the acquisition. Schrick Land & Cattle took off in a big way. Another national champion, “WEDF Country Ladd 858F” was added in 2006. The Schricks got into the liquor store business by a circuitous route. They first operated convenience stores as Parker County was dry. A referendum was eventually put on the ballot, and Hudson Oaks (in Parker County) became “wet.” Liquor was added to the convenience stores. Eventually, the Schricks sold the convenience stores and replaced them with the liquor store. Before they started selling liquor, Dana hadn’t known anything about wine. A classic example of learning on the job! After a delicious and very interesting lunch, we drove to the ranch. Jason and Keith provided an intensive, in-depth tour. The first pasture houses the Italian Fullblood herd, which includes 32 breeding age females and a herd bull. Schricks acquired this herd three years ago when they purchased 18 cows, a bull and three calves; all of whom trace to Purple Marque 6H. Keith and Jason currently have five coming 2 year old Fullblood bulls, two of whom are sired by Purple Marque, two by Falletto’s Image and one by WGM Jeff. Schricks run 250 brood cows, comprised primarily of Chiangus, but also include some commercial and Simmental-influenced females. Most cows are bred naturally; 80% are spring calving. A consistent feature found in most pastures is the lick tank; Schricks offer 32% protein liquid molasses, fed free choice, year round. We drove through multiple pastures. SLC seemingly grows by acquiring additional parcels that are contiguous to their property. They’ll buy a parcel, clear and renovate it, install fence and rotate the cows through the pasture. Keith and Jason pointed out specific cows and recited their pedigrees. Although SLC hasn’t shown a string of cattle recently, there are multiple national champions that show up in the pedigrees of many of the

cows that grace their pastures. (I keep hoping that the next generation of Schricks will bring a string to the National Junior Heifer Show and the Fort Worth Stock Show.) Today, SLC is a no-fuss, no frills, commercially-oriented, seed stock operation. These cattle aren’t pampered; they’re in their working clothes and they are efficient. These are low maintenance cows that thrive on native grasses and low input costs. The only group of cows which received any supplemental feed (and it was a round bale of hay) was the Fullblood herd; and that was because their pasture was too small to support the number of cows that stocked it. Jason went back to work, and Keith drove me to the residence. Keith and Dana designed their home themselves, and it is truly reflective of their tastes and interests. The house is designed in the shape of a “U” with a Spanish courtyard in the middle. The residence has seven bedrooms and five bathrooms (the master bathroom is larger than the living room in most homes and features “his” and “her” porcelain tubs.) Their home offers many special features; one of my favorites is the “Cantina” with Dana’s own bar. The Cantina includes a wood stove, pool table, and tables MAY/JUNE | CHIANINA JOURNAL |

and chairs for 22, in addition to the bar. It is a home designed for entertaining. Not surprisingly, the residence also has its own wine cellar, cooled to a consistent temperature of 58 degrees. Although there are thousands of bottles of wine in the “cellar,” Keith remarked that whenever Dana plans to serve a bottle of wine, she brings it home from the store. Dana shared that some people invest in the stock market, others invest in land. She prefers to invest in what she knows best; cases of wine. Highly collectible wine. Schrick Land and Cattle is truly a family operation. And, like many other family operated cattle operations, the family members all have off-farm jobs. Jason operates Schrick Trailer

Sales, which is the largest trailer dealership in the county. Jason also sells a full range of livestock and cattle equipment, including chutes and handling systems. Josh operates Schrick Air and Heating. Each morning, Keith gets his chores done, then meets Dana at the store, to open at 10 am. Fortunately for the Schricks, liquor isn’t sold on Sundays in Texas. Sunday is | CHIANINA JOURNAL | MAY/JUNE

their self-proclaimed “family day.” Dana described a typical Sunday. “Keith cooks breakfast. There are always at least two meats (sausage and bacon) and usually three. Pancakes, eggs, hash browns, coffee and juice. After Keith cleans the kitchen, I fix lunch.” (Who would be hungry after that morning feast???) Keith chimed in: “After lunch, while all of the family is here, we work with the cattle.” Keith and Dana were gracious, hospitable hosts. We relaxed in the Cantina and enjoyed evening cocktails and appetizers. We toured the entire residence, including the wine cellar. Josh and his family arrived and visited. Dana offered to grill steaks and prepare an evening meal. As I had a flight early on Sunday morning, and had already imposed on their hospitality for several hours, I thought that I should take my leave and return to Fort Worth. Not much later, I realized what a bad decision I had made. The next time I’m invited to Schrick’s, I won’t make that mistake again. What could be better than pairing Italian Chianina steaks with a fine, Italian wine, and friendly, lively conversation, with warm, gracious, hospitable hosts? Keith and Dana Schrick, Jason and Josh, and their families, are the kind of people upon which America was built. They’re honest, hard-working, family-oriented and friendly. They’re the kind of folks that you hope to have not only as your friends, but also as your neighbors. I enjoyed a terrific day as a guest of the Schrick family. I look forward to visiting with them, and expanding my horizons, again soon.

2018-2019 All-Americans T

he ACA All-American program honors superior registered cattle after the completion of each show season. Only 24 show animals can achieve this status each year – six females and six bulls representing two divisions. All-American points are awarded according to ACA National Show rules. All Chianina and composites (other than Chiangus) compete in the Chianina division. The remaining, Chiangus , vie for top Chiangus honors. The animal’s registration status determines the All-American division eligibility regardless of the type of show. For example, if an animal is a Chiangus, but the show is a division 1 Chianina competition, the animal will receive points as a Chiangus. If the animal is registered Chianina or any other composite it will receive points in the Chianina division. Chiangus and Chianina points are awarded by age. Division 1 – April 1, 2018 to May 31, 2018; Division 2 – Jan. 1, 2018 to March 31, 2018; Division 3 – Sept. 1, 2017 to Dec. 31, 2017; Division 4 – May 1, 2017 to Aug. 31, 2017; Division 5 – Jan. 1, 2017 to April 30, 2017; Division 6 Females – Sept. 1, 2016 to Dec. 31, 2013. Division 6 bulls – Jan. 1, 2016 to Dec. 31, 2016. Champion and division points are calculated this way: 50 to grand champions, 30 to reserve champions; 20 to division champions and 10 to reserve division champions. The points are then multiplied by the weight of the show. Class points are figured by the futurity system. Shows are weighted as follows: 1X – less than 20 head; 2X – 20 to 39 head; 3X – 40 to 59 head; 4X – 60 to 79 head; 5X – 80 head or more. To qualify, registered ACA cattle must be exhibited in at least three shows during each show season, which runs May 1 – April 30. However, scores from no more than five shows are used. Points for this year were accumulated from the North American International Livestock Exposition, National Western Stock Show, Fort Worth Stock Show, Kentucky State Show, Kentucky State Fair, Indiana State Fair, Tennessee State Fair, Ohio State Fair, South Dakota State Fair and the Chiangus Classic.

BOARD MINUTES

American Chianina Ladies Auxiliary Annual Meeting Minutes Nov. 12, 2018 NAILE, Louisville, Ky.

The Nov. 12, 2018 meeting of the American Chianina Ladies Auxiliary was called to order by President, Jessica Cheesman. There were 28 ladies in attendance along with several “under- two” juniors. Deb Geuns reported that there is $651.01 in the Fifth Third checking account. This is the account which pays Queen Expenses as well as for the Luncheon. Kelsey Evans and Jill Miller reported that they created a new fund raiser by selling the opportunity to have your brand on a t-shirt for an advertising fee. The total of brands sold was $3,200. The account for this project is being administered by Kelsey Evans and Jill Miller. Shirts were available for purchase at the ACA National Show. Sue Comer, Chairman of the Scholarship Committee, reported that there is $32,834.02 in the Raymond James Fund, which is a CD accruing a higher interest rate than in the past. There is $11,635.27 in the Scholarship CD account, which together totals $44,469.29. There were no applicants for ACLA scholarships this year. The committee encouraged everyone to spread the word about this opportunity. The 2019 Scholarship Committee is Becky Sheets, Kelsey Evans and Stephanie Sexton. A committee was formed to look at the scholarship application to simplify it and make it more user-friendly. This committee was also charged with creating a new scholarship funded with money given to the ACA Foundation by the ACLA. The intent is to award a scholarship to a student who is returning for their second or subsequent year at college. The student may be awarded only one of each, the Junior Scholarship and the Continued Student Scholarship. The name and details are being worked out. Please help us promote these great opportunities when you can. Sydney Wysnefski, the ACA National Queen was in attendance as well as the ACA National Princess, Cheyenne Kaiser. Kelsey Evans will continue to be the Queen Contest Chairman for the National Junior Heifer Show in Des Moines, Iowa, June 22-28, 2019. Following the nominations for Chi Woman of the Year, Melanie Winegardner was selected. The ACLA Board held elections for those members whose terms expired. The current Board of Directors is: Northeast: Southwest: Southeast:

BOARD MINUTES

AJCA Board of Directors Minutes March 9, 2019 ACA Office, Platte City, Mo.

After President Ashlynne Beninga called the meeting to order at the ACA office at 9 am, we introduced all of the board members and three main topics about them. We then played ice breaker games to get to know each other. Members present: Ashlynne, Kassidy, Brooklyn, Shelby, Dylan, Savannah, Maggie & Sam. Also present: Heather Counts, our junior advisor; and Ken Culp, ACA Board President. New Business: We started off our new business with ways to make the breed a better junior program. Ideas we came up with were Leadership Conference, start State Associations, Regional Show, Fun Night every night at Junior Nationals, Junior All-American point system, new fundraiser, Social Media Promotion and Junior and Senior stall crawl at every national show. We then got an update from the Senior Board from Ken. They hired two part time field representatives who now represent the Western and Eastern sides of the country. Next, we talked about the board expectations. Heather wants all communication to be open between the board and her. We are a working board so we should be participating and helping at all times. She is here to support us and back us on decisions. The dress code is our AJCA shirt’s and banquet attire will be khaki’s, purple long-sleeved shirts & black blazer. Heather will also work on getting a jacket style with Men’s Warehouse that will be consistent for all future board members. After that we moved on to talking about showmanship at NJHS. After discussion on rules, Shelby made a motion that exhibitors must show their own Chianina/Chiangus animal in showmanship. Tattoos will be verified after each heat. Seconded by Sam. Motion passed. There was also discussion about exhibitors designating their Showmanship animal when they check in. After discussion about exhibitors who only enter contests being able to show in showmanship, Sam made a motion that contestant only juniors with no cattle entered at the NJHS will be allowed to participate in Chi Showmanship with a Chianina/Chiangus animal assigned to them by the Youth Advisory Committee. Maggie seconded, motion passed. No bulls are allowed in showmanship unless that is the only Chianina/ Chiangus animal an exhibitor has entered. This will also be a no-fit competition. Awards discussion: Awards were discussed and selected for Grand & Reserve Grand Champions, as well as division champions & reserves and showmanship. We also discussed getting an item that all contest

participants would receive. Heather will work on getting these ordered. We then moved on to talking about who will be going off the board at the 2019 Junior Nationals. This year going off will be Shelby, Ashylnne, Dylan, Trace, Kiley and Carson. Next, we talked about the regions and who was from each region Ashley Caldwell is the Southwest. Kassidy Bremer is At Large but was assigned to cover Southeast Region. Shelby is the Northeast region and Ashlynne is Northwest region. Everyone else is At Large. We then discussed the All-Around competition rules. Sam made a motion to change the number of points received for Quiz Bowl and Team Fitting. They are now ranked as such 1st = 5 points, 2nd = 4 points, 3rd = 3 points, 4th = 2 points. Anything after fourth place will get 1 participation point. Seconded by Shelby, motion approved. Next, we went over all the online auction materials. We reviewed the lots and the descriptions and Heather will send to Tyler to put online. We ended up having 74 lots for the auction which was a great turn out. We assigned ACJ Articles. Ashlynne &. Dylan will write articles for the Herd Book. Deadline is April 1. Maggie and Sam will write articles for the July/August issue to recap Junior Nationals. They are due July 1. Ashlynne reminded everyone to check the sponsor contact list. We also decided to call potential sponsors for all our show awards. Information should be updated in the Google Drive and let Heather know so they can be invoiced. Meeting was adjourned at 7 pm for supper together as a group. Editor’s Note: These minutes are the unapproved minutes of the March AJCA board meeting. They will be reviewed and approved at the AJCA board meeting during Junior Nationals. They are printed as information only for all junior members.

Making the Most of the Chi Genetic Evaluation By Darrh Bullock, Professor, University of Kentucky

T

here is little doubt that Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) have become the preferred selection tool for most commercial cattlemen in the US. This is not to say that EPDs are the only way to make selection decisions, but it should definitely be in the selection tool box and needs to be near the top. We still don’t have EPDs for traits such as structure, thickness or body capacity, so those traits still need to be assessed visually, but for most measured traits, EPDs are computed and this should be the single means of selection for those traits. This article is not going to try to convince you EPDs are an effective selection tool, which is a fact; however, this article will assist you in making your cattle’s EPDs the best they can possibly be. The “best” EPD in the context of this article is not the extreme value for that trait, but rather the most reliable. Keep in mind, the value that is best for one operation could be vastly different from what is best for another (i.e. milk level). Now for an unfortunate fact: EPDs are not a perfect science! When using EPDs to make selection decisions, particularly EPDs with low accuracy values, we can sometimes get results that we are not expecting. EPDs should be thought of as a risk management tool, with low accuracy EPDs having a greater risk of undesired results (NOTE: Low accuracy EPDs are still a better selection tool than actual measurements, contemporary group ratios or any other selection tool). The key to higher accuracy values, thus lower risk, is data; both quantity and quality.

Phenotype Data

74

Everyone has heard the statement “I don’t use EPDs because producers collect their own data and they can lie”. This is a true statement, however, if that producer lied about the data that was sent in to compute the EPDs, then they also lied about the actual measurement that you are using instead of the EPD! The reality is that it is much harder to alter EPDs than actual measurements. When you get right down to it, we are still and always will be dependent on producer integrity; in other words, get to know your seedstock provider. There is no substitute for measuring your cattle. If you are serious about providing your customers with the right bulls to fit their specific needs, it all starts with physical data. The driver of every breed’s genetic evaluation is raw data. This data needs to

| CHIANINA JOURNAL | MAY/JUNE

include several things: the measurement (i.e. birth weight), the time period (i.e. birth date), parentage (i.e. sire and dam) and contemporary group (i.e. the defined group of cattle that were raised similarly). With these pieces of information an EPD can be computed, as long as there are at least two sires represented in the contemporary group. The simple summary of how this works is that you start with the foundation of the actual weight, then most traits are adjusted to a common age based on the birthdate, the dam’s information (i.e. her age) may be used for further adjustments and then the contemporary group information facilitates the final adjustments for environment/management. With this system it is easy to see that the more accurate the data is, the more reliable the EPD will be.

Data Collection

Estimated data is of no value to the genetic evaluation and is actually detrimental. Birth weight is a common “guessed” weight and often every calf in a group miraculously weighs 70 pounds at birth. An interesting thing about computing EPDs is that there has to be differences between the sires represented in the contemporary group for the data to have any value in the evaluation, so the instance above would result in the data being thrown out. Proper data collection is key to a good genetic evaluation. Be consistent with how you collect the data, clean and calibrate your scales often and use the same procedure for each calf. Take birth weights as close to calving as possible, but more importantly be as consistent as possible. At weaning and yearling weighings, work calves in small groups, if possible, so that they haven’t been subject to varying lengths of stress prior to weighing. Scrotal tape measurements should be applied with consistent levels of pressure. These are just a few examples of things to consider when collecting data and if in doubt, contact the association for the proper technique for data collection.

Contemporary Grouping

Pre-planning your contemporary groups can play a very important role in the data you submit having the most value in computing your EPDs. It is important to understand how contemporary groups are set up to get the most benefit from the


Making the Most of the Chi Genetic Evaluation…continued data you submit. There are five components that impact Chi contemporary groups: sex, creep vs non-creep, group code, birth date and weaning date. Group codes are assigned based on how the animals are raised, with animals that are raised under the same conditions receiving the same group code. Birth dates must be within 90 days of each other to be in the same contemporary group and weaning date must be within 3 days of each other. Here are some things to remember: the tighter the calving dates within a contemporary group the better; the larger the contemporary group the better; have two or more sires represented in the contemporary group and more is better; have at least one sire connected to the national population, preferably with a well-used AI sire or at least a son of an AI sire.

Genotype Data

Over the past decade, genomics information has played a larger role in cattle genetic evaluations and this trend will likely continue. Improvements in both genomics technology and evaluation methodology (Single Step – Bayesian Regression with BOLT) have taken EPDs to another level in regard to greatly improved accuracies on young animals. The best way for a seedstock producer to take full advantage of the Chi genetic evaluation, that the association has invested in, is to take advantage of genomic testing. Genomic testing helps in multiple ways; primarily it increases the amount of information known about the trait through marker association with that trait and it improves our knowledge of the true relationship between relatives. The end result of genomic testing, along with traditional data collection and submission, is improved accuracy values on young, unproven animals. The added benefit of genomics testing is different for each trait and is best described as Estimated Progeny Equivalents (Table 1). An Estimated Progeny Equivalent tells how many offspring, with submitted records, that an animal would have to have to be equal to the information gained from a genomic test. Take Calving Ease Direct for example; two bulls would have the same accuracy for CED if one did not have genomics testing, but had usable records on 15 progeny and the other bull had no progeny, but was genomically tested. In this case, both bulls would have an accuracy value of about .39 for CED. It is easy to see the instant benefit of genomic testing for young sires, it should also be apparent that the genomics information

provides more information for a female’s genetic evaluation than a lifetime of production data for certain traits.

Take Home Message

Your member driven association has taken the initiative to invest in one of the most sophisticated, best genetic evaluations in the world through your partnership with IGS. To take full advantage of this opportunity it is critical that you, as seedstock producers, provide this system with the best information possible, which includes contributing high quality data in high quantities! The ideal situation is to fully participate in Whole Herd Recording, sending in phenotypic data, and submit a genomic test on every young animal. However, realizing everyone is not likely to take on this challenge, the next best thing is to participate at a level that you are comfortable with while insuring the data you are submitting will have the greatest benefit possible.

Without a Pedigree, It’s Just Another Calf By Darrell D. Anderson, Retired CEO National Swine Registry

I

have spent the majority of my life working in and for the pedigreed livestock industry. It has been a wonderful ride, and I have had the privilege of working with some of the most amazing breeders of purebred livestock, as well as breed association executives. However, it seems there has always been that deep-seated concern regarding the need to “justify” the value of registering the latest calf or lamb crop, or that last set of pigs coming out of the farrowing barn. To someone who truly has a passion for breeding better livestock, it has always seemed to me that keeping pedigrees current on your entire herd is a vital part of documenting your herd or breed’s genetic progress. I started in the purebred sheep industry, and served as President of the National Suffolk Sheep Association for five years during the pinnacle of their success. There were two Suffolk Associations in 1980, and their combined registrations topped 100,000. In 2018, those two associations have merged, and their total registrations were 6,345. So what happened? Well, in my opinion, there were three factors. First, they fought through a very negative genetic defect problem, and lost many good breeders and bloodlines. Secondly, they weren’t able to keep registration papers as a requirement for the state fairs and major junior shows. Finally, they were not able to generate enough interest in their National Sheep Improvement Program, so tracking EPD’s were not viewed as important for enough breeders. In 1987, I began working for the American Yorkshire Club, and when the National Swine Registry was formed in 1994, I served as its CEO until my retirement in 2011. It was always interesting to study the registration patterns exhibited by each of the four NSR partners – the Yorkshire, Duroc, Hampshire and Landrace breeds. It ranged from the majority of Landrace pedigrees being generated to include EPD data, to Hampshire pedigrees primarily focused on the show ring and youth projects. The swine breeds have also dealt with a deleterious gene and that certainly was easier to control with the aid of a pedigree.

the CEO of the NSR, there was a lot of interest in the production and sale of crossbred pigs. And some of the top-selling boars in recent years have been crossbred boars. However, it always intrigued me that the first question asked about a high-selling crossbred boar was, “who was his sire?” and “who was his dam’s sire?” The main purpose of breed associations is to maintain the accurate ancestry of the animals that make up that particular breed. Notice I said “accurate ancestry”. Each member of the ACA has a responsibility to register their calves accurately – not only to the correct sire and dam, but also on the actual calving date. If a breed association or breeder loses its’ integrity, it doesn’t have much of a reason for existence. With the advancement in DNA technology, you might think you can get away falsifying data, but I can assure you it will eventually catch up with you. You might be attempting to gain “exposure” for your cattle, but you Certifies That NAME OF ANIMAL

their production and market objectives. Moreover, they seek out cattle that meet those objectives using data. These cattle don’t have to be trait leaders to be successful. In many cases, cattle that check the boxes in a few traits and have balanced performance fit many more environments and production systems than those with extreme levels of growth, lactation or carcass. The first look most commercial cattlemen get of your cattle is a sale catalog or a web search. If that catalog doesn’t have the data they are looking for (i.e. EPDs and performance records) the catalog goes to the round file and they don’t come to your sale. Maybe you just sell show cattle to other breeders or youth (and that’s OK) and don’t rely on the commercial bull market to keep the bills paid. But, if you do rely on selling commercial bulls, do yourself a favor and document the genetics you produce. Even if you just sell show cattle, show cattle with numbers can have more value. Help send the right message to young people about the importance of measuring and improving cattle over time for economically important traits. Every show heifer should go home and make a great cow. Take the time to learn about proper data collection methods, contemporary grouping, using EPDs and genomics. Get the data submitted to ACA and include that information in your marketing efforts. A reasonable question might be, “How does data reporting and submission look at ACA?” Figure 1 reports the counts of registrations, weaning weights, yearling weights and ultrasound data reported to ACA by breeders in 2016-2018. Figure 2 presents the performance data recording as a percentage of the animals registered. What do you see? How do we make it better? It’s clear that data saturation of these key performance measures

is not as high as it could be. Roughly 1 in 3 calves recorded at ACA in 2018 had a weaning weight submitted while 1 in 10 had a yearling weight. Whole herd data recording for calving ease, birth weight and MAY/JUNE | CHIANINA JOURNAL |

Show Me The Money…continued

weaning weight should be a goal of each breeder. Capturing these key metrics on all calves born provides reliable data for genetic evaluation capturing the full variation of the contemporary group. Reporting only the best calves does an injustice to them as they don’t look as good as they should. Incomplete reporting also fails to assign blame for inferior calves. EPDs are robust and useful tools but their utility is dependent on quality data reporting by breeders. Often ACA breeders comment about the need for genomics tools and their development. Certainly, these resources are an asset to breeders. However, reliable genomics tools require high quality and abundant data to support the predictions. The ACA participates in the largest and most technically advanced beef cattle genetic evaluation on the planet. Leverage this tool for your herd and your breed by reporting data. It is not too late start. Calves born this spring will benefit from your efforts.

Aside from genetic predictions, why is data reporting so important?

Including data in your communication activities sends a message to your customer. That message is that you think these tools and traits are important. It says YOU care. Remember the surveys I mentioned earlier? Your customers tell us it is important. So important in fact that they won’t buy bulls without it. Do you believe them? Not collecting data and reporting it sends a crystal-clear message to your potential

customers too. No data says YOU either don’t care enough to collect and report it or you don’t care about your customers’ business that’s dependent on performance in those traits. I’m not sure what’s worse. Businesses that don’t care about their customers and their success soon don’t have any customers. Businesses without customers quickly become former businesses punctuated by dispersals and asset liquidations. Today’s seedstock business is being rapidly transformed by genomics technologies. Genomics technologies being applied in the cattle business are underpinned by data. Reliable sources of information collected from a broad sample of the population enable the genomics tools to improve both precision of selection and the rate of genetic improvement. Commercial producers are seeking out progressive breeders who utilize the technology to provide seedstock with a competitive advantage. That advantage is improved accuracy and decreased genetic decision risk. The selection train is departing the station. Passengers on that train are seedstock and commercial breeders that know how and why to collect performance and genomic information and how to use it for profit. Are you on that train? Will you see the opportunities that lie beyond the horizon? Or, are you standing on the platform watching the future fade in the distance?

Editor’s Note: Bob Weaber, Ph.D., Professor, joined the faculty of the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry at Kansas State University in August of 2011 as Cow-Calf Extension Specialist and faculty coordinator of the K-State’s Purebred Unit.

Dr. Weaber serves as central regional secretary of the Beef Improvement Federation, is a co-coordinator of the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium education programs and has served as a member of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Policy Division Board of Directors. Previously, Weaber served in the Division of Animal Sciences at the University of Missouri (MU) as Extension Specialist-Beef Genetics and was responsible for educational programming in the area of beef cattle genetics. The focus of his extension and research programs have been to broaden the availability, use and understanding of genetic selection tools (Expected Progeny Differences, DNA markers and selection indexes) as well as performance data collection schemes implemented by cattle producers. Dr. Weaber grew up on a cow-calf operation in southern Colorado and went on to earn a BS in animal science followed by a Master of Agriculture degree in the Beef Industry Leadership Program at Colorado State University. He completed his doctoral studies in the Animal Breeding and Genetics Group at Cornell University. While there, he served as the Interim Director of Performance Programs for the American Simmental Association for three and a half years. Previously, Weaber was Director of Education and Research at the American Gelbvieh Association. Weaber is the recipient of the Midwest Section of Am. Society of Animal Science Young Animal Scientist Extension Award (2013), Beef Improvement Federation’s Continuing Service Award (2011), Univ. of Missouri Extension’s J.W.

But that didn’t hold people back from sitting in and buying bulls when sale time came along. The bulls were a very impressive set from top to bottom and very uniform. They were moderate birth with high growth to add pounds for their customers at weaning time. The Melroe and Lehrman families along with guest consignors the Rock Family and Holt Cattle had a great day selling top end bulls. The cattle were impressive and the people behind them even better! High Sellers: $11,000 – Lot 66 – MEFC First Try 8603 – This Classen son out of TTBR Ms Improve 7032X 1CA (who is also the dam of MEFC Northern Advantage) is an extra stylish stout made bull who will sire highly sought after show heifers. Watch for exciting things to come from this bull in the future! 7.8% Chiangus, purchased by Becking Farms, Florence, S.D. $8,000 – Lot 48 – MEFC Denali 864F – A moderate birth weight with added weaning and yearling weights made bull that still has a great phenotype that will definitely leave his mark on a set of calves. 18.50% Chiangus, purchased by Brandon Rock, Long Valley, S.D. $6,250 – Lot 67 – MEFC Tour of Duty 852F – 10.10% Chiangus, purchased by Mike Buisker, Britton, S.D. $6,000 – Lot 60 – MEFC Big Moment 841F – 21.6% Chiangus, purchased by Bll Frei, Wagner, S.D. $4,750 – Lot 57 – MEFC Unanimous 857F – 17.5% Chiangus, purchased by Terry Schlecter, Orient, S.D.

The MEFC Unanimous 542C bull should be a must use for everyone! Justin had a first calf heifer there that had calved 3 days before I was there and her udder was flawless and she was built as good as you can make one! The bulls by him have great feet, are smooth jointed and will cover a lot of country. The longevity in them will be second to none. High Sellers: $5,000 – Lot 18 – Chianina/Mainetainer Bull sired by MEFC Unanimous 542C – A young July bull who is as cool and neat made as you will find anywhere out of a Donor cow of Justin’s. He is going to be a calving ease specialist with a 50 lb. birth weight. He is put together as good as they come, very attractive in his head and neck, very smooth shouldered then explodes into a big top and hind quarter. This guy has a bright future ahead of him. Purchased by Levi Zwirn of Colorado. $4,250 – Lot 3 – Chianina bull sired by MEFC Unanimous 542C – Big-topped, long-made coming 2 year old that will definitely make his mark on a set of calves.
