Angie Stump Denton

Cherish Family I’ve always liked the saying: “Home — Where your story begins.” It is such a true statement, and it makes me smile thinking about being raised on my family’s farm with my two sisters. In the agriculture industry, home and family are two very important and valued treasures. There’s something about working together on a farm or ranch that brings a family together. Now don’t get me wrong; my sisters and I had our disagreements growing up, but today we are like best friends and cherish each moment we get to spend together. I’m so thankful that I have the opportunity to raise my two sons back “home” just a couple miles from their grandparents and on a farm where my son, Wes, can get up and go rinse his calves and Dustin can go for a walk down to the creek to hunt for frogs and bugs. It’s a great way to raise a family. As we brainstormed a theme for this year’s herd book, we chose to focus on the “Hereford family.” We set out to find stories

that would capture the essence of family — articles featuring Hereford families with a unique story along with articles demonstrating how the “Hereford family” comes together to support someone in need.

The Downings As I write this column, I just returned home from an incredible trip to Oregon. One of the things I enjoy most about my job is spending time with Hereford breeders and learning more about their operations. This particular trip wasn’t typical and is one I’ll never forget. I can honestly say that in my 16 years as an agricultural journalist, this interview has by far touched my heart the most. Scott, Tracy, Brandt and Lane Downing are nothing short of amazing. They have so much courage, love and faith, and together have successfully overcome the obstacles thrown their way. While with the Downings, I was able to play blackjack and farm-opoly with Lane. I watched Scott and Brandt flip through the May/June Hereford World and discuss bulls and upcoming sales. We also spent several hours

in South Central Nebraska

walking through the cow herd as Brandt and Lane proudly told me pedigrees and the history of each cow. Throughout the weekend they also shared with me the story of Scott’s journey since his accident in March 2010. As we talked about the accident and Scott’s rehabilitation, I realized how fast your life can change. It made me want to hug my boys tighter and thank my mom and dad more. I also felt pride hearing how our “Hereford family” joined together to raise funds to help with the family’s expenses. See “The Journey” on Page 60. Like the Downings, the Harfsts, Lowdermans, Valeks and Bowens have been faced with adversity and through strength as a family and with the help of the “Hereford family” have persevered. Also in this issue are features on Hereford families who have helped fight hunger (“Generations,” Page 192) and who have helped encourage consumer confidence in beef (“Telling His Story,” Page 184). The importance of family is also evident at Star Lake Cattle Ranch, which is featured on Page 34, and at McDougald Ranch, starting on Page 204. As a staff we hope you enjoy this issue. We are proud to be members of the Hereford family.

Strength and Resolve

/ July 2011

The inscription on the James Farley Post Office in New York City reads: “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” This claim may not necessarily hold true for today’s U.S. Postal Service, but the resolve of the American farmer and rancher goes way beyond this claim and might sound something more like this: “Neither blizzards nor floods nor devastating tornadoes nor droughtstricken lands bursting into flames will deter the resolve of our American farmers and ranchers.” Certainly, this year has been volatile, to say the least; a late spring blizzard blasted the Dakotas, resulting in a devastating calf loss; tornadoes ripped up the Southeast and Midwest; unprecedented snowpack in the Rocky Mountains combined with record spring rains across the northern plains is flooding Montana, the Dakotas and the states along the Mississippi and the Missouri rivers. While there are those who are swimming and dodging, the Southwest is experiencing one of the worst droughts on record as range country in Texas and New Mexico burst into flames like a tinder box. Yes, this has been a highly unusual year for volatile weather patterns that have

put added stress and strain on much of the country. The loss has been great. At a time when cow-calf profits have never been so good and when Hereford demand is approaching an amazing level, not just domestically but abroad as well, it’s ironic that the weather has reached historically volatile levels. Mother Nature always has a way of humbling us even during the best of times. Maybe we should keep that in mind and be thankful for what we have when there are so many that have lost so much this spring.

AHA’s unique position in genomics I am often asked, “What is the American Hereford Association (AHA) doing about genomics and why are we not utilizing the tests promoted by Igenity and Pfizer?” The answer is very simple: the AHA Board and staff have done their homework. The tests that have been commercialized among the two big pharmaceutical firms have been proven to add very little, if not anything, to the accuracy of the AHA’s national cattle evaluation. Our business cannot afford to spend money on expensive tests that do not advance breed improvement. Additional investment in research that will deliver reliability is a must before products hit the market.

Proudly, the AHA has developed a long-term strategy to discover gene markers for economically relevant traits that will help us identify younger animals with higher accuracies. This possibility is principally due to the collaboration with Iowa State University, the University of Missouri and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) along with the contributions of Hereford breeders who have donated semen and funds to support the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) in an effort to build a DNA database that will eventually find genetic tools that will be affordable and accurate. See Page 170 of this issue for an update on Hereford genomics. Thanks go to all involved including our AHA Board and staff and our own Hereford breeders along with our friends from the Canadian, Uruguay, Argentine, Australian and New Zealand Hereford associations, who are working together to contribute to the discovery of gene markers of specific interest to the Hereford breed.

Johnny, are you HONEST??? Teacher, I ain’t told no lie today YET. W

ith the changing moral values of our society, HONESTY seems rare today. Yet there have always been people who are DISHONEST. A few years back, I wrote a letter to the editor of a cattle paper on HONESTY after a couple of young breeders contacted me for my opinion about an advertised, supposedly Line One registered Hereford bull that looked more crossbred than regular crossbreds. Sadly, the editor instead of dealing with honesty turned it into a debate on how much white ought to be on Herefords. All cattle breeds, businesses and individuals must personally deal in this life with the issue of HONESTY. When dealing with local people, their reputation for HONESTY is soon community knowledge and we can avoid the DISHONEST ones. With registered cattle, sometimes it is difficult to always stay local. I am thankful for the AHA’s new DNA bull policy. It will at least help eliminate a neighbor’s bull that without our knowledge jumped the fence as well as create more difficulty for a DISHONEST breeder who knowingly cheats on registrations. Over my 70 years associated with registered Herefords, I have noticed most DISHONESTY (cheating) is produced by competition and is primarily found in the showring and performance testing records. Our Murray County Cattlemen’s Association toured a state bull performance testing facility last year where those who operate it told us they believed

Day ZatoTone 943

Day Zato Tone 943 is a 2,300 lb., frame 5 1/2 sire with an actual birth weight of 81 lb. and a sweetheart disposition that excels. We are using two sons and a three-quarter brother.

For performance-tested Hazlett-Turner Ranch Bloodlines

over 70% of bulls consigned had their ages lied about so that they would index higher. At a different state test facility, a board member told me that they had told an Angus breeder outright that his ages were not correct because of the length of their tail switches. GUESS how he reacted? The next year when he entered his bulls again, he had cut off all of their switches!! Several years ago, I overheard two polled Hereford breeders who were active in the showring talking about size. One told the other he was changing his show calves ages by two months and they were still the smallest in the class so he thought he needed to change their ages by six months!! I know breeders who have changed weaning weight records by numerous pounds for better EPDs or sale prices. I have heard of breeders who, when weighing a newborn, say that he has nursed so deduct four or five pounds. At a bull test station, the manager bragged that they tested a bull that weighed over 1,600 lb. on the day he turned one year old. I wonder how many calves he sired that did that for his new commercial owner? I would venture - NONE. MOST of you KNOW similar stories! Cattle are only as good as the HONESTY of the person who produced them! We always strive to give buyers, local and out-of-state, honest information on our cattle because ALL breeders should. We invite you to visit and look over our linebred Hazlett Herefords and see why our local reputation is what it is.

The HRF has grown significantly in a short period of time. This growth documents the interest breeders have in these types of projects. Here is a list of ways and opportunities for breeders to support HRF:

Donate the proceeds of one lot each year in your production sale.

Designate one cow or bull within your herd and have the proceeds from progeny or semen sales each year earmarked for the HRF.

Donate cattle, embryos, semen or any other item to the online HRF fund-raising auction each year.

Leave a legacy to the Hereford breed by earmarking a portion of your estate to the HRF.

Make a cash donation.

These are just a few of the possibilities. As the challenges facing the beef cattle industry continue to grow, the seedstock industry will need to continue to embrace new technology. It will be through your continued support that the Association will be able to grow this foundation, which will allow us to explore opportunities and document the value of Hereford genetics within the commercial industry. If you have any questions or thoughts about the HRF, please do not hesitate to call 816-842-3757. HW www.hereford.org

by Craig Huffhines, executive vice president chuffhin@hereford.org

New Yorkers Trust Cowboys, Love Great Tasting Beef Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) received rave reviews during Memorial Day weekend in the New York City metro area. For two days American Hereford Association (AHA) President John Woolfolk, CHB LLC President Dale Micheli and AHA CEO Craig Huffhines spent time at a new CHB account, Fairway Market, located in Stamford, Conn. The trio promoted CHB and visited with hundreds of beef consumers. Stamford is an upscale suburb of New York City where business commuters live or spend the weekends. The end result of the Memorial Day weekend beef promotion featuring CHB porterhouse, ribeye and New York strip steaks was a 62% increase in meat department sales compared to normal store levels. Fairway Market is one of the most prestigious, high-quality

grocery store chains in the New York metropolitan area with eight locations: one on the Jersey side; six in the areas of Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Pelham Manor and Plainview, N.Y.; and one in Stamford. There are plans to expand the store concept into multiple locations in the New England states and beyond. Fairway has one of the most diverse and exclusive selections of food products of any store in the U.S. Ray Venezia, Fairway Market’s meat director, is a third generation “master butcher” and has become a “food celebrity” with regular appearances each week on the New York City local news affiliate, multiple appearances on NBC’s “Today Show,” and “Rachael Ray,” and a recent appearance on “Dr. Oz.” He is a dynamic and credible speaker with a strong advocacy message for quality beef. While CHB was being sampled in the stores, Ray was featured on Neil Cavuto’s Fox Business Show, where he demonstrated how consumers can stretch their food dollars without sacrificing great summertime grilling opportunities. Venezia has been instrumental in maintaining a very high expectation for Fairway Market’s quality protein products with a dryaged prime beef program where each store actually dry ages beef loins in a display cooler in front of the meat market. Each of his eight meat markets is a full-service butcher shop, and in the Stamford location, there were at least 10 meat market employees helping customers each of the two days of the promotion. Venezia recently discussed with the owners of Fairway the opportunity to upgrade their selfwww.hereford.org

service meat case, which has been predominantly commodity beef, to a more reliable and consistent CHB. He was sold on the concept of quality at an affordable price that would complement his very exclusive dryaged prime program. “Having the opportunity to merchandise Certified Hereford Beef in a population of over 10 million people is an enormous opportunity for us as an organization,” says Micheli. “After two days of serving CHB beef samples to hundreds of very critical grocery customers, I am as confident as ever in the quality of the product we produce with Hereford genetics. Every piece of beef we sampled got the same reaction. People loved it. It was really unbelievable.” More than 1,800 customers came by the demo booth set in front of the store’s meat department where they were encouraged to visit with authentic ranchers and try the unique qualities of CHB. Consumers asked a variety of questions about CHB such as “What is a porterhouse or t-bone cut?,” “How do you prepare it?,” “Are the cattle grass-fed?,” “What do you do about antibiotics?”, “Are the cattle humanely handled and harvested?” “We were all surprised at the reactions of Eastern consumers www.hereford.org

when they tried the Hereford beef,” Woolfolk says. “Comments like ‘Wow!,’ ‘That’s good!’ and ‘That’s the best steak I’ve ever eaten!’ were common all day long. We were also encouraged that they trusted our answers pertaining to the safety of our product, the methods of management and feeding, and the way in which our animals are humanely cared for. These were issues important to many of them.” Fairway Market represents a big step for the CHB program. It brings another partner to our business that will move large tonnage of fresh CHB into a market that will give us great exposure. The opportunities are growing along with the credibility of CHB. Now going into its 16th year of production, it seems that consumers are willing to pay for quality beef if they know it’s reliably consistent, they are confident they will have an enjoyable experience, it is perceived as a good value, and they are comfortable with the knowledge that they do not have to feel guilty from mistruths that are often times sensationalized in various media outlets about beef in general. The most important thing we learned in our efforts was there is

no one who can tell the story about Hereford cattle, Hereford ranching and our Hereford heritage better than we can. I’m hoping to get more Hereford breeders involved in consumer work like this on occasion because it’s amazing what an influence we can have on suburban American consumers. That influence pays dividends for our entire industry. HW

Online payment clarification When paying the AHA using online bill pay services through your bank, please be certain to include your breeder/customer number and what the payment is for (i.e. membership, advertising, registrations, etc.) on the memo line. This information is necessary because when payment arrives at the AHA, there is no remittance slip, making it very difficult to apply the payment to the correct account. If you have questions, contact the office at 816-842-3757. HW

July 2011 /

The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met in Kansas City, Mo., April 14 and 15 for its spring meeting. Highlights of the meeting are as follows:

The 2011 AHA Spring Board Meeting included a host of committee meetings and reports dedicated to breed improvement initiatives, marketing and communications, member services, and organization finances.

Breed improvement Genomic research: Dorian Garrick, Iowa State University (ISU) Lush Chair in animal breeding and genetics and National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium executive director, reported on the progress of the AHA and ISU genomics project (see Page 170). Garrick reported that approximately 1,100 Hereford animals have been genotyped with the 50,000 SNP panel for research and gene marker discovery purposes. Early findings out of 850 samples indicate relationships among traits and specific Hereford gene markers that could enhance the accuracy of expected progeny differences (EPDs) including birth weight, weaning weight, yearling weight and milk. The current EPD analysis system is not set up to utilize gene markers to enhance the EPD accuracy, and Garrick warned against the confusion that would take place if an association released a molecular breeding value and a conventional EPD for the same trait. The Board agreed that the two should be used together in creating one EPD that is genetically enhanced. The Board acknowledged that resources should be devoted to working with Agriculture Research Business Institute (ARBI), AHA’s EPD analysis provider, to develop a sound strategy for incorporating the DNA results into the analysis. Furthermore, the Board discussed and encouraged staff to evaluate the best approach for incorporating molecular data into the genetic evaluation even if it means considering more than two runs a year. Other aspects that must be studied are laboratory requirements

including long-term technology requirements and costs. Fertility research: Mike MacNeil, research geneticist at Fort Keogh Livestock and Range Research Laboratory, Miles City, Mont., reported that the AHA had over 44,000 females represented by more than 3,800 sires in the sustained cow fertility study. Since 2000 the AHA has collected whole herd cow enrollments and asked for cow fertility reports in an effort to generate a database that might eventually be used to calculate the heritability of cow fertility. MacNeil is working to develop predictions for EPDs utilizing the whole-herd data. The current models set up much like the milk EPD in a sire model format. The AHA will be ready to commercialize such an EPD in the next year. Heifer calving rate and mature weight: The AHA is working on traits that will access two major cost drivers of the industry — fertility and maintenance cost. Heifer calving rate and mature weight are two traits currently being researched that will be used for calculating profit indexes in the future. Functional defects: Jon Beever, University of Illinois molecular geneticist, continues to collect DNA from Hereford cattle displaying a functional defect. There are a multitude of functional defects that breeders cull for each year, not just in the Hereford breed but across breeds. Beever is working on those within the Hereford breed in an effort to isolate genetic causes of those defects that might eventually be used in longevity calculations. Disposition research: The AHA currently has more than 15,000 chute scores that are being evaluated to determine if there are genetic differences in disposition. Chute scores collected at weaning time have been identified by the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF)

as a viable means of determining the flightiness of beef cattle. AHA research partners will be evaluating the data to determine if heritability estimates can be determined. Multi-breed pilot project: Last year the AHA Board approved the development of a pilot project with the purpose of collecting phenotype data from cattle of other breeds, predominantly Angus and Angus × Hereford crosses, which can be directly compared in the same contemporary group with registered Hereford cattle. So far, 25 breeders have agreed to submit their data for further research purposes.

Hereford Publications Inc. The Hereford World and Creative Services departments are having a very good year providing advertising and artistic design services to AHA members. The Board acknowledged the increasing popularity of the Hereford World “ride-along” sale catalog business, whereby production sale catalogs are sent to every Hereford member along with the magazine. Total sales as of midyear are up 3% from a year ago. The Board was informed that Tommy Coley has been hired and is in full swing servicing the Southeast region. The Board approved the hiring of Dustin Layton to service the Southwest region on a contract basis, which will also allow Dustin to conduct his sale management business. The Board discussed the request by breeders to not publish addresses of the individual respective buyers of top lots in their production sale reports. It was decided to allow breeders to choose what information they would like published in their sale report.

Member service committee The Board was informed of the progress being made in the upgrade of the current registration system to a new and more modern platform. Staff continued on page 20... www.hereford.org

explained the records department was being trained on the new system, running registration data through both systems simultaneously. The new system should be up and running by midsummer, and new online utilities will be developed for release in the fall. The Board asked staff to continue to survey the membership on a variety of topics related to service, customer care and education. Furthermore, webinars are to be developed to help members with a variety of subjects.

Marketing committee The AHA will have a new Annual Meeting format in October. Look for details of the new schedule and headquarters hotel in this issue on Page 16, future issues and in Hereford eNews. The AHA Board approved the plan to host a media tour Sept. 19-20 that will invite agriculture press

and radio media guests on a trip from Denver to Scottsbluff, Neb., where media will tour Olsen Ranch, a research partner for the National Reference Sire Program. The Board and staff will communicate the strategic research initiatives and progress being made in the area of breed improvement, genetic research and feed efficiency data collection. AHA is working diligently to be a national leader in data collection and discovery of genetic information related to all economic traits collected by the breed. BuyHereford.com manager: The Board endorsed the development of a position to cultivate online marketing and cattle sales through BuyHereford.com along with video marketing services. Educational video library: Staff was instructed to develop a series of educational programs that will assist both new and experienced Hereford breeders in a host of areas.

Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC The AHA Board was informed of the progress of CHB and the growth of both food service and retail (see Page 12). The Board encouraged members of the CHB board to move forward in identifying a CHB LLC general manager.

Youth program, HYFA The Board was informed of the special planned Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) event scheduled to be in Sonoma, Calif., Aug. 18-21. The event will be hosted at the Kunde Family Estates by the Jim and Marcia Mickelson family. In addition, the Board approved the reproduction of two of the historic AHA paintings located in the AHA offices — one, “Anxiety the 4th,” and the other, “Silver” — to be reproduced for HYFA fund-raising activities.

Boots, Baggage and Bangles 4 For our reflections article, we have compiled the top 10 lessons we learned while serving on the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board and they all relate to either boots, baggage or bangles..

Work around the clock.

Boots – Staying up late organizing tomorrow’s contest. We get up early the next morning and jump into our boots to see the smiles on the juniors’ faces.

National Junior Hereford Association Chairman – Rossie Blinson, vrblinso@ncsu.edu Vice chairman – Danielle Starr, dstarr@purdue.edu Communications chair – Mallorie Phelps, aggiegerl15@sbcglobal.net Membership chair – Andrew Albin, albino1991@gmail.com Leadership chair – Jake Metch, metch24@aol.com Fundraising chair – Justin Bacon, justin.bacon@okstate.edu Directors Hunter Grayson, hunterg@blackhatranch.com Kevin Ernst, kevin_ernst13@msn.com Tamar Adcock, tamar@adcockshowcattle.com Austin Buzanowski, abooze74@yahoo.com Jaime Hanson, jaime_lh_30@hotmail.com Matt Woolfolk, mrw216@msstate.edu Director of youth activities Amy Cowan P.O. Box 014059, Kansas City, MO 64101 816-842-3757, acowan@hereford.org

/ July 2011

Boots – With all of the responsibilities of day-to-day tasks, we depend on the support of our families, American Hereford Association staff and fellow “boardies” to help us carry the heavy load.

Building lifelong friendships with “boardies” from across the Nation.

Baggage – Getting bling belts and 5 lb. of jewelry through airport security.

Baggage – We might be miles apart and see each other a total of five times a year, but we became best friends and know that our fellow board members are only a phone call away.

Organizing 12 “boardies” to all show up wearing the same outfit.

Thank God for nighttime minutes and unlimited texting.

Bangles – MASS TEXT from Rossie and Danielle: “Tomorrow wear Buttah (yellow) shirt.” REPLY TEXT from Jake and Justin: “We forgot our Buttah!”

Bangles – With our never-ending conference calls and our countless mass texts, we are always prepared for our next event.

Rossie (top) and Danielle.

Responsibilities rest upon us in our creped soles.

Airport security, our favorite.

These boots are made for walkin’.

Boots – Running from one side of the ring to the other tailing heifers; walking in the same pattern for three days straight.

We became experts at airport navigation.

Baggage – Our parents were nervous the first time they dropped us off, but now they don’t even blink when we hop on our next flight.

We could see the burgundy jacket at the end of the tunnel, but when we reached it, the jacket wasn’t our size. Bangles – We strive to fill the place the retiring director left in that jacket only to discover, with hard work and dedication, we made the jacket our own.

Working with NJHA members

You have taught us leadership, patience and passion. And we thank you for the opportunity of a lifetime. This list is compiled of numerous memories we have attained while serving on the NJHA board. We could not have gained any of these experiences without the guidance of our national advisors, present and past, the endless support of our families through thick and thin of our hectic lives, and confidence, trust, and friendship that our national advisor, Amy Cowan, instills in us every day. Thank you for these past three amazing years. HW

Hereford Women Are Headed to “Kickin’ It In Kansas” Well, it is that time of year. Hereford enthusiasts are getting ready for the annual trek to the one and only Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). It is always such an anticipated time. Planning and packing the trailer to the max and setting out on what you pray is an “uneventful” trip, but a truly “eventful” time! Members of the National Hereford Women (NHW) are no different. NHW is planning some great things for this year’s “Kickin’ It In Kansas.” The scholarship and award applications are being reviewed and finalized, the Grilloff contest is being planned, the Hereford heifer giveaway details will soon be announced, the silent auction items are being carefully selected, judges have been selected for contests, and, of course, the queen activities are being planned.

It is always such a busy week but a great time to make memories and friendships to last a lifetime. We hope you will find time to join us for an ice cream social and membership meeting on Tuesday, July 12, at 1:30 p.m. in Hale Arena near the hospitality area. Our meeting is come-as-you-are and will include activities for kids while their moms are meeting. Another NHW event will be the Queen’s Tea, hosted by Bethany Nolan, our 2011 National Hereford Queen. There will be an informative presentation during this event for young women interested in the queen program.

2011 director elections After JNHE we begin thinking of returning to Kansas City in October for the annual meeting.

into the office to work in customer service. He has been a part of the organization for 30 years and uses this expertise to help customers with their own operations. Other team members include: Brad Prather, who is in charge of the cow herd and has been with Star Lake for 16 years; Josh Taylor, who works with bull development and show and sale cattle and is a 12-year Star Lake veteran; Dustin Dillman, who leads the maintenance effort and assists with the cow herd; Jon Blin, who coordinates the website and Internet marketing; and Karen Beeghly, who works in the office looking after records and semen sales. “Throughout the year you can see various members of the ranch family

— children, wives, husbands and friends — involved in getting the job done,” Randy says. “This operation, like every other cattle operation, runs seven days a week. It’s a lifestyle that couldn’t be done without the help and support of our families.”

The cattle The goal at Star Lake is not just to breed showring champions. “We love showing, but our ultimate accomplishment is raising good Hereford cows and bulls that will make a contribution to the breed and our customers’ programs,” Montie says. At Star Lake 400 calves are born annually, with 60% being ET calves. Of the natural calves, roughly 100

will sell with their mothers in the ranch’s May sale each year. The Star Lake team works to breed cattle with extra growth while keeping all expected progeny difference (EPD) traits balanced. This allows the animals to not require extra nutrition or special attention to function while performing more efficiently. “We demand that balanced genetics be above the breed average to consistently produce highperforming and fast-gaining cattle,” Montie says. “The cattle are bred and designed to be problem-free.” Brad says the cow herd has improved dramatically during his tenure with the ranch. “In the last continued on page 36...

Star Lake was named the polled premier breeder and exhibitor at the 2011 National Western Stock Show. “Our team is comprised of tremendous specialists, but can also cover for each other,” Randy says. Team members pictured (l to r) are: Max Stotz, Randy Blin, Montie Soules, Jim Blin, National Hereford Queen Bethany Nolan, Brad Prather, Josh Taylor, Robbie Duis, Jon Blin and Todd Herman. Team members not pictured are Dustin Dillman and Karen Beeghly.

Star Lake also uses sexed female semen, EID (electronic identification) tags, cloning and in vitro fertilization (IVF). The ranch has its own ultrasound machine used for sexing pregnancies. It also uses DNA for finding and managing genetic defects and is committed to selling only genetic defect free (GDF™) cattle.

Josh Taylor educates Star Lake customers about the value of daily hair care.

The program

eight years we’ve improved udder quality, calving ease and efficiency.” Josh agrees, adding, “Hereford cattle today are much more sound and structurally correct than they were 10 years ago. They are making better, more productive mothers.” Star Lake is a performanceoriented program utilizing the latest advancements and tools. “Today we make less mistakes using EPDs,” Montie explains. “No they are not fool proof, but EPDs are the best tool to use today to help you not make the mistakes of the past.” Star Lake utilizes ET to replenish the herd and to produce a robust, performing, productive and fertile line of cattle for today’s industry. The ranch flushes about 35 cows per year and implants about 300 embryos per year. The ranch’s complete lab allows all ET work to be done on site.

“Raising the next great show bull or heifer is not our top priority when we make breeding decisions,” Todd says. “We want to raise Hereford cattle that will make a contribution to the industry.” Many breeders would be surprised to learn that when a bull gets home from a show he goes to work in a 100-200 acre pasture breeding cows; he’s not pampered in the show barn 12 months a year. What makes the Star Lake program so strong is its attention

to detail, customer satisfaction and brand marketing. Each year Star Lake hosts two production sales. On the third Saturday of May, the Seedstock Source Sale features first-calf heifers with calves at side, donor cows, embryos and show heifer prospects. The October sale is two sales in one day — the Fall Celebration Female Sale includes show heifers, cow-calf pairs, donors and embryos and the Ranch Ready Bull Sale features breeding-age ranch ready bulls and embryo transfer bull calves. The ranch ready bulls program was established six years ago. See “Defining a ranch ready 21st century Hereford bull” for information on the program. Star Lake has adapted to today’s busy lifestyles and has taken steps to make it easier for customers to actively participate in its sales while offsite. The ranch started utilizing Superior Livestock broadcasts on RFD-TV in early 2005 for customers who

couldn’t be in Skiatook on sale day. Online bidding was added with LiveAuctions.tv in 2007, and the Superior Click-to-Bid Internet option was added this past year. It was determined that videos of the cattle gave buyers the best insight to the offering and they have been an important part of the marketing program. Along with the traditional May and October production sales, Star Lake has hosted a monthly Internet auction since August 2008. These monthly sales predominately feature embryos and a few live animal lots. Packages of semen, baskets of embryos, original artwork, Hereford memorabilia and holiday gift baskets have also appeared. With Jon’s leadership, online marketing and social networking initiatives have been added to the Star Lake program. He manages the Star Lake website — starlakeherefords.com — and the ranch’s Facebook page. This year the website is averaging more than 6,000 visitors a month, who in turn have generated more than 41,000 monthly page views. The Facebook page is constantly growing and currently has 2,350 “likes.” “Both of these venues provide a great way to communicate to customers and the industry,” Randy says. “One of the many strengths of our ‘virtual’ presence is it is constantly changing, Jon works to keep it current making sure there’s always something new.” Another unique marketing outlet utilized by Star Lake is “The American Rancher,” a series produced by Superior Productions and broadcast on RFD-TV. Star Lake was showcased in the program’s inaugural season in 2004 and has been one of the series weekly sponsors since 2005. The Star Lake www.hereford.org

operation is featured twice a year on the program in a half-hour segment that promotes the spring and fall production sales. Also tied to a successful marketing program is customer service. “Because the Blins were a customer first, as Harter Creek Farms, they understand the needs of Star Lake customers,” Montie says. This firsthand experience has led to the operation devoting more time and resources to assist customers. “It is our responsibility as a seedstock producer to stand behind our product,” Jim says. “We feel our customers appreciate the time and attention.” In 2008 Max transitioned to customer service after more than 25 years as cow herd manager, a change which allowed Star Lake to devote more time to helping customers. These efforts include trying to determine what a customer’s goals are and help him find the Star Lake genetics to achieve those goals.

Futurity exhibitors are provided show shirts.

“Jim and Randy are very youth oriented and want children to have fun with valuable experiences and build their college funds with Star Lake genetics,” Montie says. This year Star Lake hosted its 18th Junior Heifer Futurity. Youth who purchased heifers in 2010 were invited back to the ranch to participate in the futurity show on Friday prior to the May sale. Thirteen youth won $12,500 in cash, Star Lake credits and other awards. To date nearly $250,000 in cash, credits and awards have been won by Star Lake junior customers participating in the futurity. Another program established in 2008 to help youth is Star Lake University. “Before purchasing the ranch, the most valued service we received as a Star Lake Cattle Co. customer continued on page 36...

Giving back

Montie Soules has helped owners host six sales that grossed more than a million dollars through the years.

The Star Lake team values youth and through the years has developed programs to aid the upcoming leaders of the Hereford breed.

Looking back The Star Lake herd and team originates back to ACE Polled Herefords of Milbrook, N.Y. Montie Soules went to work for ACE in July 1978. Max Stotz joined the ACE staff in 1981 and Todd Herman in 1982. In 1985 a satellite operation in Collinsville, Okla., was purchased followed by the ranch in Skiatook in 1988. In 1992 the ACE herd was dispersed, and Star Lake Cattle Co. from New Hampshire purchased the ranch. Then in April 2003, Jim and Randy Blin purchased the operation and changed the name to Star Lake Cattle Ranch. Prior to buying Star Lake, the Blin family had built its Harter Creek Farms herd with Star Lake genetics, first purchasing heifers for Randy and Debbie’s children — Jon and Jaci. As owners of Star Lake, the Blins have doubled the number of calves born annually while maintaining the goal of breeding the best Herefords possible. HW

was help,” Randy says. “When my children, Jon and Jaci, first started showing, the Star Lake team helped us by offering feeding, grooming and showmanship tips. That help to customers and especially juniors is so valuable. It is the basis for formalizing Star Lake University.” The day before both the fall and spring sales, Josh Taylor leads a clinic for juniors and parents alike. Topics discussed have been daily hair care, proper use of the blower, hoof trimming, fitting techniques and feed programs. In 2008 Star Lake and the Blin family also donated the Foundation Heifer to the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA). The female sold for $100,000 and was purchased by Jim and Judy Blin and Randy and Debbie Blin in partnership with Ken and Carolyn Larson from DeSoto, Texas. Star Lake continues to manage the foundation female, and through her progeny, she continues to generate revenue for the HYFA. To date a gross total of $35,000 has been generated from her offspring.

“It was our way to give back,” Jim says. “As leaders in the industry we wanted to establish something that would be perpetual and we hoped other breeders would join the program.”

Winning tradition Walk into the Star Lake office and sale ring and you are welcomed by banners, trophies and bronzes representing years of success for the Star Lake program. Although Star Lake doesn’t necessarily raise cattle to be show winners, the owners and staff are proud that the cattle from the Star Lake program produce seedstock for today’s industry and are also the kind to bring home numerous accolades. For 12 consecutive years, Star Lake has won grand champion Hereford carload at the National Western Stock Show. According to Randy, this is a special achievement to the ranch organization because all these bulls have been raised at Star Lake. It is also thought to be a record among all breeds since the start of the carload show in Denver. Another highlight in 2011 was that STAR TCF Shock & Awe 158W was the first Hereford to be back-toback supreme champion Hereford

Defining a ranch ready 21st century Hereford bull All ranch ready bulls selected are from the top end of their performance groups and have parameters of less than a 90 lb. actual birth weight and less than a 6.0 BW expected progeny difference (EPD). They are selected at weaning and placed in development pens according to EPD performance records. Bulls are sorted by growth (WW and YW EPDs), with lower BW (high WW and YW with a moderate to low BW EPD or actual birth weight), by REA (bulls with above 0.30 REA with growth) and by lower birth weight (actual birth weights 80 lb. or less and BW EPDs below the breed average, while maintaining growth traits). All bulls over a year of age are scanned for carcass data, which is turned in to the American Hereford Association to be reflected in their EPDs. The bulls are developed in groups of around 20 bulls per pasture. They are fed for optimum yearling weights and carcass information at one year of age. They are grown out with a growing ration and kept in good condition until sale day. They are then ready for heavy service. The average EPDs of all the bulls and bull groups featured are compared to the Hereford breed averages. HW

at the National Western Stock Show. Star Lake has also won numerous premier breeder and exhibitor banners through the years, including premier breeder at the Junior National Hereford Expo 11 times.

A leader “What we try to do is stay ahead of the curves,” Jim says. “We try to constantly improve utilizing technology.” The ranch is managed as a business with budgets and a business plan. “This isn’t a hobby, it is a business,” Randy says. “Every cow has to earn its keep.” The Star Lake team utilizes the GEM System for record keeping. GEM has added efficiency and made it easier to get the cattle information into the system to generate more useful reports. Along with being a leader in the seedstock business, the Star Lake team realizes the importance of taking care of the land. They have initiated and developed a long-term range and pasture management program, partnering with industry specialists. Animal welfare is also a priority on the ranch, and they believe all producers should be proactively implementing low-stress handling programs. All Star Lake staff members have been educated on low-stress handling techniques and have been through beef quality assurance (BQA) training. With the goal to be a superior seedstock producer, Max summarized the Star Lake plan. “We strive to do the best we can to produce superior genetics that will work for our customers.” Randy says, “When people think Hereford we want them to think about a Star Lake Hereford. We want people to recognize the Star Lake brand — STR — as standing for quality.” Montie adds, “It’s an exciting time to be in the Hereford business and we are proud to be a Hereford breeder.” HW

People Helping People The “Hereford family” is always willing to lend a hand to those in need. by Sara Gugelmeyer

Other stories in this issue about the “Hereford family” lending a hand: 60 The Journey 76 Faith, Hope and Love 94 A Family Finds Its Strength 112 Hereford Friends 122 Heartache at Home

/ July 2011

t was the most terrifying moment of my life. My husband was hurt and there was nothing I could do. I watched as EMTs cut him loose from the barbed wire and loaded him in the helicopter for the flight to the hospital. May 6, 2009, changed my life forever. He survived and his recovery tested us personally but ultimately strengthened our marriage. And now, more than two years later, as we prepare for the birth of our first child, I know it was that experience that changed how I look at so many things — including giving me a new perspective on lending a hand to those in need. Helping people is something the Hereford industry does so well. Whether it’s a phone call during a troubling time, a fund-raiser for a sick friend with bills piling up, an extra pair of hands and pliers helping to rebuild a fence destroyed by fire or a shoulder to cry on when a loved one is lost, the Hereford industry acts like a family to those lucky enough to be a part. Although my husband and I don’t have any purebred Herefords, we got a bye into the family through employment. And I was blessed with phone calls and e-mails of support from the Hereford family during that troubling time for us.

The Moore family Similarly, Darla Moore of Modoc, Kan., found herself in a nasty predicament last April. Darla and her husband, Charlie, along with their son, Kevin,

operate Bar H Ranch, a Hereford seedstock and farming operation in western Kansas. Darla was hurrying to finish for the day and meet Charlie to celebrate their 32nd wedding anniversary when the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) she was driving overturned. Darla explains, “I was in a hurry, of course, and going way too fast, and a little thunderstorm was trying to brew, so the wind was blowing horribly. The wind was pushing me toward the ditch and I over-corrected, cranked the steering wheel too hard and laid it over on me.” Although she was by herself and isn’t sure, she says, she believes the accident knocked her out, but miraculously, when she came to, her cell phone was within reach. That was lucky considering she was pinned under the large side-by-side Polaris Ranger. A quick phone call brought Darla’s daughter Dana Pieper, who farms and ranches nearby, running to her aid. Dana was able to lift the ATV off of her mother, and a passerby dragged it off the road. Stitches and ankle surgery repaired Darla’s body, but it was months before she could walk on her own again. Darla’s other daughter, Shellie Collins, left the cattle operation she and her husband own in Oklahoma to help Dana care for their mother. Charlie, who works in town, helped son Kevin care for the cattle until Darla was once again able. Darla endured months in a wheelchair and grueling physical www.hereford.org

therapy to regain her strength, during which her neighbors and family pitched in a great deal. “People were good to me; I had a lot of prayers. I live in a great area; I had neighborly help. I could have called them anytime for anything. I know I received prayers from Hereford breeders and I did appreciate it.”

The Breeding family It’s not just personal injury that requires the help of Hereford family either. In 2006 wildfires ravaged the parched prairie of the Texas Panhandle, leaving hundreds of thousands of acres in complete devastation. B&C Cattle Co., of Miami, Texas, didn’t escape the wrath. The Breeding family’s 1,400-acre ranch was scorched, sparing nary a fence post or blade of grass. About 80 cows were killed, and many of those that survived suffered burns, plus there were orphaned calves to care for. Many responded to help the Breedings through this crisis. “We had an outpouring of support from all over the country,” Chad www.hereford.org

Breeding says. “We had donations from everyone, from the Farm Bureau to our church.” Texas Farm Bureau organized hay donations, and many companies donated other types of feed to help those affected throughout the Panhandle. Supply companies sold fencing to the families at cost to help them rebuild. “All I know is that there is a tremendous amount of goodhearted people out there,” Chad says. “We couldn’t do it without them.” The Breedings’ Hereford family stepped up in kind. C&M Herefords, owned by the Perez family of northeastern New Mexico, donated a heifer to be auctioned with the proceeds benefiting panhandle Hereford breeders who were affected by the fires. The youth joined in as well. The Texas Junior Hereford Association (TJHA) board of directors decided they wanted to help fellow ranchers who had lost fence and cattle due to the wildfires. The TJHA called the project “Please Fence Me In —

Panhandle Rebuild,” and gathered more than 300 T-posts, 30 rolls of barbed wire and gloves to help mend the fences that were destroyed. Mike Fuston, Turkey, Texas, volunteered to take the supplies to several breeders in the Texas Panhandle. The TJHA decided to support Hereford breeders in need first and then other breeders who had lost a great deal. “Our main goal was to help anyone in need. We lost a great deal to the wildfires in Texas,” says Ilissa Nolan, then TJHA president.

The Gandy family Although fire is a constant worry for those in the West, flooding typically endangers cattle operations in the East. Hurricane Katrina devastated cattlemen in 2005. Punkin Ridge Farm, Beaumont, Miss., suffered when Katrina proved to be much more severe than anticipated. Brook (Herring) Gandy says she and her family tried to prepare as best they could beforehand. Luckily continued on page 50...

they lost only three of their 300 cows, but the aftermath took its toll. “It took us a day and a half to get out of the driveway because of the debris that was all over,” Brook says. “There was even a 52-inch tree in the middle of my grandma’s house. We were also without electricity for three weeks, and we had to haul water to our cattle every day to make sure they’d survive.” The Hereford family once again stepped up to help. After

Hurricane Katrina, the Tennessee Hereford Association donated fuel to help Punkin Ridge Farm and the Herring family. “Neighbors stepped in to help neighbors,” says Gandy. “If one of us needed something from town and couldn’t get there, a neighbor would go to town.” The Firestine family, fellow Hereford breeders from Womelsdorf, Pa., donated a heifer to be auctioned off to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims in October 2005.

Hereford breeder and then National Junior Hereford Association member Jessica Lester of Covington, La., says her home was used as a staging area for supplies from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) for Katrina victims. NCBA sent supplies to rebuild fences and feed to the Lester’s home (which also suffered considerable destruction from the hurricane), and Lester helped deliver tons of feed to area cattlemen. “I had to deliver feed in 2-3 feet of water,” she says. But when someone is in need, 3 feet of water does little to slow Hereford breeders — and, usually, cattlemen in general — from lending a hand. Spring 2011 has been especially tough for cattle producers facing natural disasters. Record-breaking drought followed by wildfires has destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of rangeland in Texas; tornados have devastated Alabama and much of the South; and flooding has wreaked havoc along river valleys in the East. Hereford producers continue to help out those in need and inspired us to examine the strength of the “Hereford family.” The Moores, Gandys and Breedings are just a few examples of ways we, as a breed, help one another. In this issue we take a closer look at other Hereford families who have faced adversity and experienced the strength of family. Although it’s troubling to learn about others’ times of adversity, pain and grief, these situations remind us all to count our blessings and help others when we can, because, although hardships are aplenty, the scars left behind (both emotionally and physically) remind us to give thanks for what we have and help those who are less fortunate.

The Journey The Downing family of Terrebonne, Ore., was overwhelmed and humbled by the love and support from Hereford friends after Scott’s tragic accident. by Angie Stump Denton

t’s amazing how fast life can change. One minute you are doing what you love; the next minute you are in the hospital fighting for your life. March 29, 2010, started out as a normal day for the Downing family. Scott, Tracy, Brandt and Lane said their morning goodbyes and set out for what they expected to be a typical day. The boys were off to school, and Scott was planning to work a set of cows with the crew at Traynham Ranches. It never crossed Tracy’s mind that when Scott left home that day he wouldn’t be able to return to the family’s home until Dec. 22. “Take

time to cherish every moment and appreciate the things in life you take for granted,” Tracy says. “Things can change in a split second.” While working cattle that day, Scott suffered a traumatic brain injury. Doctors had to open his skull to relieve pressure from his swelling brain. A monitor was placed in the skull to track the ICP (intracranial pressure). Luckily, he didn’t have any other injuries. Tracy recalls, “We were taking it one hour and one day at a time.”

A long road Scott was in an induced coma for seven weeks at Providence Medical Center in Medford, Ore., while he healed and the pressure in his brain stabilized. To keep family and friends updated, Tracy, with the help of Sherry and Katie Colyer of Colyer Herefords, Bruneau, Idaho, started a CaringBridge website and a Facebook page. Hundreds of visitors logged on to track Scott’s progress. “The CaringBridge comments, phone calls and visitors helped me get through the days,” Tracy says. “A friend once told me, ‘You don’t measure wealth in dollars, you measure wealth in friends,’ and after this we feel like the wealthiest people in the world.” With the help of friends, Tracy was able to stay at the hospital, and the boys remained in school and went to the hospital on weekends while Scott was in ICU. Once Scott’s ICP stabilized, the doctors started to wake Scott up, which Tracy says was not an immediate process. When Scott woke up, he was down to 155 lb. Originally about 200 www.hereford.org

Tracy says after Scott awoke from the induced coma it was such a relief to see that he still had his personality. He can still make jokes and keeps us laughing and smiling, she says.

lb., he had lost a lot of muscle and was not able to sit up on his own. “He had to learn everything again,” Tracy says. Scott then started the next phase of this journey which began with in-house rehab at Providence Medical Center. Scott’s long-term memory seemed intact. The injury had most affected his short-term memory. “He was able to tell stories, and the ‘old Scott’ personality started to return,” Tracy says. In July he was transferred to Portland and began treatment at the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center (BIRC). At this time Tracy also made the decision to move from Butte Falls to Terrebonne, where they had lived while Scott managed Holiday Ranch. This would allow her and the boys to be closer to Scott in Portland. She found a place to rent that had a small acreage for the boys’ show calves but needed to find a place for the cow herd. Fortunately, Hereford friends the Englands, from Prineville, Ore., had the resources available to allow the family to www.hereford.org

keep their cattle at the England ranch while Scott recuperates. While Scott was at BIRC, a team of physical therapists, psychologists and vision therapists worked with him. He also had the chance to participate in hippotherapy at Forward Stride, Oregon’s largest therapeutic riding center. Hippotherapy is the practice of using the movement of a horse as a treatment tool in physical, occupational or speech therapy. Maintaining the posture and balance needed to stay atop a moving horse without a saddle while performing verbal or physical tasks has benefited patients with autism, stroke, brain injury or other disabilities. An article about Scott participating in the program at Forward Stride said he was the first “professional cowboy” to undergo hippotherapy at the facility. Scott says he liked the opportunity to get back on a horse, but it wasn’t typical riding. “I had to ride on the horse backwards with my eyes closed,” he says with a smile. Photos of Scott on the horse backward led to harassment from

fellow cowboys who teased him asking if he had forotten how to ride a horse, Tracy says. After months of rehab, Scott was allowed to spend the weekend of Nov. 6 with his family. He attended the boys’ first wrestling tournament, ate at his favorite Mexican restaurant and had a chance to go see the family’s cow herd for the first time in more than seven months. Scott also was released to attend the Western Nugget National Hereford Show in Reno. There he was able to see Brandt win champion bred-and-owned female honors along with champion showman honors. continued on page 62...

Scott says the support and love the family received from fellow Hereford friends was amazing.

...The Journey continued from page 61

The boys Scott and Tracy Downing were blessed with two boys. Brandt, 12, who starts the seventh grade this fall, and Lane, 9, who will be a fourth grader. Both boys have their own calving books and can talk cows like they are 50-year-old astute cattlemen. They know pedigrees, expected progeny differences and how to score udders. Along with showing cattle, the boys also participate in peewee rodeo and wrestling. As Tracy says, “They are both all boy.” When asked about the accident, both boys agreed, “We are so thankful to still have our dad.” “It was very scary,” Brandt says. “But it was so nice to be part of a group who helped us and stood by us as Dad was in the hospital. In the Hereford business, everybody helps one another, whether in the showring or not.” HW

Finally, after 17 weeks at BIRC, he was allowed to return home to his family fulltime on Dec. 22.

The next step While Scott was in rehab, Tracy contemplated the next step for her family. “I had always worked with Scott first helping on the road clipping and washing cattle, then helping on the ranches we worked at and also

At the 2009 Western Nugget National Hereford Show, Brandt was named premier junior breeder.

taking care of the boys,” Tracy says. “Not knowing if Scott would ever be able to return to work, I knew I needed to find a career to support our family. I had always thought about going to cosmetology school, but it was never the ‘right time.’” So, in January 2011 Tracy started classes. Enrolled in a 15-month program, she will graduate in April 2012. “Going back to school to learn a trade, keeping the boys focused on school and helping Scott through his rehabilitation is nothing short of a huge task,” Sherry Colyer says. “Tracy has rose to the challenge and sets a great example for all of us on how to deal with life’s curve balls. “Tracy has been an amazing partner for Scott in this journey. She has been so strong for Scott and the boys. There have been moments when she has let down but always kept it together in front of them. Their entire lives have been turned upside down and inside out but she still had a smile and a cheerful attitude to keep their spirits up.” Since returning home, Scott is participating in a work trial at Teixeira Cattle Co., a registered Angus and club calf ranch in Terrebonne. Teixeira is the former Holiday Ranch, where Scott and Tracy worked for three years.

Knowing the ranch helps Scott in the rehab process. Although he’s not 100% “back to normal,” Scott says he thinks he gets better every day. Tracy adds, “We’re not going to settle until he has a full recovery. We will continue to work at getting him the therapy and rehab he needs to help him try to return to the life he had before the accident.”

Outpouring of support The Hereford family has joined together to support the Downings as they work to get their lives “back to normal.” “I didn’t realize how lucky we were to be part of such a great industry until all of this happened,” Tracy says holding back tears. “We are so thankful and blessed to have so many people who rallied around us. It’s so hard to put how appreciative we are in words. The support and love we received from fellow Hereford friends was so amazing.” Cattle friends organized two fund-raising events to help the Downing family. On April 27 Cara Ayres and Beth Schreiber did a “SUDS ’n SUDS” show in Terrebonne. An online benefit auction was also planned to raise funds for the Downing family. Katie Colyer says it was decided that an online auction would allow

www.hereford.org

friends of the Downing family from across the country to participate. And they did. A little over $75,000 was raised from the auction. The auction included 78 lots from embryos to semen to popcorn and advertising packages. The highest selling lot was a New Mexico Trophy Bull Elk Hunt donated by Daric and Patty Knight of White Mountain Herefords and Knight Guiding and Outfitting, Springerville, Ariz. The hunt was purchased for $7,500 by Louie Molt and Larry Imbach from Burns, Ore. “The neat thing about that donation is that Patty and Daric did not know Scott,” Katie says. “It just shows how great the people in the Hereford business are and how we support each other when facing difficult times.” Sherry agrees adding, “It was amazing to be a small part of the auction. The ‘Hereford family’ and actually the ‘cattle industry family’

was amazing. People called in and said I can donate this or that.... I don’t think there was one thing in the auction that was solicited. “Same with the night of the auction, the energy that was created when everyone was signed on was nothing short of a phenomenal. It was like everyone from coast to coast was in one room with a common goal — to help the Downing family. The chat room was active with heartfelt comments and prayers for Scott, Tracy, Brandt and Lane.” Although the Downings have hit some roadblocks and taken a few wild and crazy turns in their journey, they are stronger as a family and can feel assured that their Hereford family is always there to help when the need arises. HW

Scott continues to help the boys with their show calves and can still run a pair of clippers.

Cattle in his blood Growing up in California, Scott Downing was first exposed to cattle at age 11. Since then cattle have played an important role in his life and career. In 1979 Scott moved to Texas and went to work for Lone Star Herefords. He then moved to Rocking Chair Ranch in 1984. While working for Rocking Chair, Scott was named Hereford Herdsman of the Year in 1987. “I really enjoyed the Hereford business,” Scott says. “I liked showing cattle and what a great group of people to be around.” While at Rocking Chair, Scott started a clipping/fitting business, traveling throughout the U.S. preparing sale cattle. In 1989 Scott moved to California to help his dad, whose health was failing. Scott married Tracy in 1996. “When we got married, he told me he would take me to ‘wild’ and ‘exotic’ places,” Tracy says. In response, Scott says, “I did, I took her to work at a Charolais bull sale.” Tracy and Scott traveled thousands of miles clipping and washing sale cattle, touching the lives of Hereford families as well as other cattlemen across the country. Some of their Hereford clients included Holdens, Coopers and Harrells. Scott continued his business for 16 years. During this time, the couple’s sons, Brandt and Lane, were born. In 2004, realizing being on the road for two sale seasons totaling nine months out of the year was hard on his family, Scott went to work for Holiday Ranch, Terrebonne, Ore., as manager. Leaving Holiday Ranch in 2007, the family spent a year in Canada at Hirsche Herefords near High River, Alberta. In 2009 the family moved to southern Oregon, and Scott went to work for Traynham Ranches, where he continued to work until his accident. The family currently has 20 cow-calf pairs, five yearling heifers, three yearling bulls and one herd bull. HW

JMS Polled Herefords

Predictable, Consistent

• JMS herd sires are from a strong Victor Domino heritage tracing back to the R. W. Jones Jr. farm in Leslie, Georgia, established in 1946. Potential herd sire prospects are selected based on calving ease, individual performance, dam’s udder quality and scan data.

• The JMS cow herd is all Victor Domino. Closed to outside females since 1987, the cow herd is predictable and consistent. These cattle are selected for economically important traits such as calving ease, fertility, milking ability and good, sound udders.

• The JMS program produces sound, uniform calf crops, each an improvement over the last. After scan data is collected, we will offer fall yearling bulls for sale starting October 1, 2011. These bulls will produce predictable, consistent results. These bulls have bred-in calving ease for many generations and will sire high maternal, good milking females, the result of many years of selection pressure. For more information, e-mail us at jmsfarm@msn.com or visit our website www.jmsvictordomino.com.

The Lowderman family (left to right) Monte, Carrie and Rhett; Jack and Sherry; Cody and Abby; and Kris, Morgan, Brent and Blake all have retained Cory’s spirit and strength in their lives today.

“He had a smile to indicate he was always thinking,” Sherry says. “For example, one Sunday morning, he placed a thumbtack in the church pew where Jack was going to sit. The minute Jack made contact with that thumbtack, he turned around and looked at Cory. Something was always turning.” Sherry says Cory’s inspirational side encouraged those around him. He often carried quotes and poems to inspire himself and others, and he had filled the covers of his judging notebooks, while judging at Black Hawk College — East Campus, with quotes and one-liners. One such poem titled “Don’t Quit” is framed in the Lowderman home office as a reminder of his strength, Sherry says. “He always found a positive comment to use as an incentive,” Sherry says. “One favorite: ‘Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny,’ now is on our website to encourage us all.” www.hereford.org

Cody says Sherry continues the inspirational tradition, sending small notes containing quotations with the Lowderman men as they leave to judge a show or compete in an auctioneering contest. “When I was in junior and senior college, before every judging contest, Mom would write an inspirational quote for me,” Cody recalls. “Today, she still does that. That all relates back to Cory. We just can’t go somewhere without them.” Cody says Cory possessed a confidence unlike most others — a confidence without arrogance. “There was something uncanny about the way he had so much confidence and how he knew no matter what he was doing — showing cattle, livestock judging — that he was there to win, but he wasn’t there to ‘beat’ anyone,” Cody says. The competitive side of Cory caused him to strive to do his best in livestock judging. And it was just after a livestock judging trip with Black Hawk College — East Campus when the accident occurred that would forever change life for the Lowdermans. “He had just been at the judging contest at the Houston

Livestock Show in 1991,” Sherry recalls. “The team had just won high team in beef, and Cory was high overall in that contest. A week later, the wreck happened.”

Lives changed forever Cory was involved in a car accident that resulted in 10 months of hospital stays. He returned home in the spring of 1992 in a nearcomatose state. Each day, Sherry and Jack cared for his every need, as he was only able to communicate by blinking his eyes. Sherry and Jack maintained hope that Cory’s condition would improve. Sherry kept a daily log of activities so Cory would be able to catch up when he awoke, Cody recalls. “Every day — for nine years,” Cody says. “I think that’s amazing.” continued on page 78...

A memory garden at the Lowderman auction facility helps keep Cory’s legacy alive.

...Faith, Hope and Love continued from page 77

Cody says, as difficult as it was to witness, he was often inspired by his big brother’s strength. “He was here as I was growing up — while I was in junior high and high school,” Cody says. “To have to walk by that room where he was, every day, it reminded you that he wasn’t going to quit.” And, Sherry says, he fought that battle for nearly a decade. “We had him a little over nine years, and he passed away in 2000,” Sherry says.

The legacy left behind Although Cory is no longer with the Lowdermans in body, he most certainly is a part of their everyday lives.

“Don’t Quit” Author Unknown This poem inspired Cory to be his best during life. And, it inspires his family now, after his passing. When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t quit. Life is strange with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don’t give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a fair and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor’s cup, And he learned too late when night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out — The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

/ July 2011

Monte says his time with Cory inspired him to live for each moment. “I’ve learned to never take anything for granted,” he says. “I’ve also learned to develop core values and beliefs that are fair. To always remember where you came from, and never tell anyone you’re better than them. Cory was Cory. In everything he did, he was the backbone.” As a visual reminder, Sherry has planted a memory garden at the auction barn filled with the plants from Cory’s funeral. “We were worried when we first built it that the public would not respect it,” she says. “But, we’ve never had any instance where people have been disrespectful. We’ve actually found remembrances there, and to this day, we don’t know where they came from.” When the garden was built, Jack chose to occupy the office facing the garden so he could see it daily. “I wanted my office to overlook the garden,” he says. “It’s something I can look at and remember him — another way that we know he was loved.” Another visual reminder occurs each Christmas, as Sherry and Jack present each family member a decorative item that simply says, “Believe.” “That’s a way we incorporate Cory and a way for us to remember,” Sherry says. “That was his belief and ours — that we’ll all be together again.” Reminders of Cory even appear to the family through songs on the radio, Jack says. “The Dance,” by Garth Brooks was played during Cory’s funeral and also serves as a reminder of Cory’s life. “We have heard that song many times since his passing,” Jack recalls. “It’s quite breathtaking when we hear it. And, there is usually some sort of joy that comes just after we hear the song.” And, quite simply, living life reflects Cory. Cody’s wife, Abby,

says she sees Cory in the actions of Cody every day. “Whether or not he realizes it, Cody uses the lessons learned from Cory every day,” she says. “I’ve known both of them since they were kids. Cory has become such a part of Cody, without him even realizing it.” Sherry says although some families deal with grieving by not discussing the loved one lost, the Lowdermans talk about Cory often. “I know of families who have lost a loved one, and that loved one’s name is never mentioned again,” Sherry says. “Many times, Cory’s name is mentioned at a family gathering, and it’s usually in some joking remembrance of something he did, or simply his outlook on life.”

Finding the strength to go on In fact, Monte says humor is a tool often used to lighten the burden during the difficult moments. “If it wasn’t for that — using that humor with friends and family — I’m not sure what we would have done,” Monte says. “That’s what helps us to continue.” Sherry says activities related to cattle also provided something to look forward to during those years of caring for Cory. “Back in the very beginning, after the accident, we used many activities connected to the cattle business to anticipate and look forward to,” she says. “It was a connection and a lifeline for me. And, it’s still that way, today.” Jack says the cattle herd is a way for them to honor Cory. “We have built our program in honor of him,” he says. “This was the direction he would have wanted us to go.” Sherry says going forward each day is sometimes simply a choice. “It’s a choice you make — is the glass half full or half empty?” she says. “All while we cared for him, the outcome was always in doubt. But, we got up every morning and said there’s a possibility for today. If you got up and said there was no www.hereford.org

hope — I just can’t imagine trying to continue with that attitude.” Cody agrees. Going on with life is sometimes a decision you make. “Cory wouldn’t want us to quit — he’d want us to keep firing away, doing the best we could do,” Cody says. In addition to the strength the Lowdermans found within each other, they also were provided tremendous support through their friends in the Hereford industry.

Helping hands of the Hereford family Sherry says the Hereford community — across the state and the country — was a great source of support after the accident and Cory’s passing. Sometimes the support was monetary. The Illinois Junior Hereford Association made a significant contribution to the “Friends of Cory Fund,” which was used to fund his care, Sherry says. “While he was here at home, we purchased a handicapaccessible van with a ramp from those funds,” she recalls. “Those funds came directly from the state Hereford juniors.” Monte says the support shown through cards and letters of concern were overwhelming. “Mom kept all of the cards in a cedar chest,” Monte says. “That “Okie,” the pug, was a gift from family friends after Cory’s passing. Jack and Sherry say this dog has been one of their greatest forms of therapy.

cedar chest is full. Mom wanted him to be the one to open them — and most remain unopened, today.” In addition, Hereford friends often made the trek to visit Cory and the Lowderman family in person — during the hospital stays and during his care at home. “Joe Lemenager, Ashkum, Ill., would come and read to Cory at least once a week at the hospital,” Sherry says. And, Sherry says, friend and fellow livestock judge Mark Hoge, Macomb, Ill., brought each of his judging awards to share with Cory, while Cory was being cared for in his home.

The power of a pug One of their greatest forms of therapy and support also came from friends in the industry. In 2000, during the Junior National Hereford Expo in Tulsa, Okla., Tommy and Trudy Williams presented the Lowdermans with a gift to allow Cory’s legacy to live on — a pug named Okie. “Cory liked to play with pugs when he was younger,” Sherry recalls. “Okie turned out to be our therapy dog. Today, when Jack is on the road, he calls just to check on Okie.” Jack says Okie has brought companionship and joy to the Lowderman family. “I often stop to think, I wish Cory could be with Okie — he would have loved this dog so much,” Jack says.

Honoring Cory The representation of Cory’s life is present in many other areas, as well. In 2001 the Illinois State Hereford Preview show was dedicated to Cory. In addition, Dan Hoge and Lee Denzer with the Black Hawk College — East Campus livestock judging team established the Freshman Challenge Award in Cory’s honor. The award is presented to the team’s outstanding freshman livestock judge. www.hereford.org

A sketch of Cory during a 1979 regional junior Hereford show has been used on the JNHE “Chin Up” award and for a junior national fundraiser throw (pictured here). This drawing serves as an inspiration for the Lowderman family to keep their faith during difficult times.

Perhaps the most well-known remembrance was created by Hereford artist Bruce Huxol — a sketch of Cory at the Junior National Polled Hereford Show in Springfield, Mo., in 1979. This sketch, depicting Cory with his hand under his heifer’s chin — working to hold her head up — served as an icon for the “Chin Up” award, which was given to Hereford youth participating in the 1980 junior national. And, it is the cover image for the Lowdermans’ sale catalog and website, as well. “During that show, he had such a time showing that heifer — she took off and ran the full length of the show arena,” Sherry says. “When he finally got her to stop, he had to work to keep her head up. Someone took a photo, and from that Huxol created the sketch. That sketch represents the way he competed — the way he approached life. To be the best you can be.”

Discovering your own strength The Lowdermans realize that each family faces struggles and challenges of their own. However, Jack says, one thing is universal: continued on page 80...

you can’t give up. He says you must understand, despite the grief you may be experiencing, the pain will lessen with time. Cody believes everything does, in fact, happen for a reason. “The man above isn’t going to put something on your shoulders that you can’t carry or you can’t handle,” he says. “You wonder how you’re going to get through it. But, you do.” Sherry says her faith helped her each day. And one Bible verse, in particular, gave her strength: Proverbs 3:5: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding.” “I carried that with me then, and I still do, today,” she says. Her faith and that verse helped her through her most downtrodden moments. “I remember walking into the ICU waiting room at the hospital for the very first time,” Sherry recalls. “The uncertainty of it all. But my comment to Jack was, ‘No matter how this turns out, we’ll know where Cory will be.’” Monte says it’s critical to not be ashamed of whatever help you may need to deal with the pain. “Different people have different ways of dealing with tragedy,” he says. “Whether it’s getting involved

in something that person believed in, or whether it’s getting help in many different ways. Find what works for you. It’s not a question of right or wrong. It’s what works.” Jack advises a person to not be afraid to seek professional counseling, if the need arises. “Three months after Cory was hurt, I was really struggling,” he says. “I realized I had a wife and three kids to take care of. So, I sought professional counseling.” And, with time, the Lowdermans say the strength you gain through the tragedy can serve as assistance to others, in their times of need. “A close friend of Cody’s passed away just after he graduated,” Sherry says. “My boys were able to walk alongside his brother at that time, and they were probably as much help as anyone could be after losing a brother. It’s not a position you want to be in. But, you are able to connect with other folks that walk in tough times.”

Just be there The Lowdermans say, when dealing with a friend who may be experiencing loss, it’s important to be there. Monte suggests keeping the communication open with someone who is grieving.

A history of Herefords Jack and Sherry Lowderman got their start in the Hereford business when Sherry’s parents presented them with two Hereford heifers as a wedding gift. The cattle operation has both increased and decreased through the years, and today consists of 150 cows — 50-75 of which serve as embryo transfer donors. In 2003 the Lowderman family began the Illini Top Cut Sale along with five progressive Hereford breeders in Illinois. Cows and heifer calves sold through this sale have gone on to produce class winners and champions at Hereford junior nationals and at state fairs. As the Lowdermans grew their cattle operation, they also became devoted to growing their auction business. Each year, Jack and his three sons conduct 75-100 sales, with an emphasis on farmland and residential real estate. In addition, the Lowdermans sell monthly real estate auctions for Williams & Williams across the country. The Lowderman businesses are truly family-run, and each family member plays a part: son Monte, his wife, Carrie, and their son, Rhett; son Brent, his wife, Kris, their son, Blake, and their daughter, Morgan; and son Cody and his wife, Abby.

“A lot of people were hesitant to ask how things were,” he says. “But that’s what made us feel good — to have people around and to know he had such an impact on so many people. When our family and friends in the cattle business told us they cared and that Cory had made an impact on their life, that helped us.” He also recommends treating the grieving family as you always have. “Don’t treat someone different because of a tragedy,” Monte advises. “That family doesn’t necessarily need sympathy — they need support and understanding. Don’t put them in a box.” Sherry and Jack say, although it can be difficult to find the words to talk with someone after a tragedy, the words aren’t important. Being there is. “For someone going through that situation, it’s not the words you say,” Sherry says. “It’s the fact that you’re there with them. Sitting beside them. Holding their hand — even in silence.” Jack believes Cory’s passing has brought the Lowderman family closer. “We have become a stronger family, and we were already strong,” he says. “So many times, when a family does have a tragedy, they grow apart. I vowed that nothing was going to tear apart our family. That’s not what Cory would have wanted.” Sherry agrees. “Some folks are here longer than others, and some folks accomplish what they’re here to do in a shorter amount of time,” she says. “As a family, I believe it’s recommitted us to always finding a way to stay connected and sharing, and supporting each other.” The Lowdermans have faced a pain no family ever hopes to endure. And, carrying the memory and legacy of Cory with them, they’re moving forward with the ultimate faith that, one day, they will be reunited again. HW

An elite proven industry leader...

“Tank the Ole Bull”

CL 1 DOMINO 5110R {DLF,HYF,IEF} (AHA Reg. #42573483)

5110

is not well described by the “est” adjectives. We’re not sure we have ever owned a great breeding bull that was. 5110 is one really complete beef breeding bull. 5110 is certainly thick enough and thicker than most Herefords. 5110 has great depth of rib, volume and capacity (what our longtime ranch cowboy calls “heart girth”). 5110 has real bone with sound feet and legs that allow him to travel out well and breed cows with efficiency. 5110 is fertile and had great scrotal development even as a yearling. 5110 calves are moderate at birth, grow rapidly and maintain themselves on limited feed just like their sire. 5110 daughters are absolutely elite...they really milk with great udders, all the while keeping themselves in good flesh with their moderate frame and thus easily breed back like good “range cows” on western Oklahoma “short grass” and a little cake. 5110 measured a 15 in. plus ribeye as a yearling (second best in Cooper’s 2005 calf crop) and has built in, breed leading marbling genetics. Compared to previous great Cooper- or Holden-bred bulls of the past, 5110 is just a little better in our opinion. 5110 will sire better uddered females with equal or greater volume and with more real meat and

bone than the stalwart 501 Cooper bull of the past. 5110 will equal his maternal grandsire, the 9126J Cooper sire, in maternal strength with even better udders, easier fleshing ability and better muscle and carcass traits. 5110 will compete with any of the Cooper 637 sons or grandsons or any new Holden bulls on red meat, ribeye and marbling, along with exceeding the competition in raw bone, total depth of rib and volume with calves that are structurally sound with great built in feed efficiency. Did we mention that 5110 would sire moderate sized, stellar producing females of unequaled measure that is simply second to none? We almost forgot to add that 5110 would add eye pigment to his progeny as well. 5110 is our candidate as the greatest Cooper or Holden bull ever bred. After 111 years of ranching, 5110 is certainly the best breeding bull our family has ever used of any breed and we have owned a lot of bulls. 5110, the kind of bull that the Hereford breed needs, that the entire beef industry needs for real world cattlemen who want to stay profitable in today’s hostile input cost environment.

A Family Finds Its Strength The Harfsts of Easton, Ill., have bound together to fight the disease that has struck the wife and mother they so dearly love. by Christy Couch Lee

Cheryl Harfst has maintained a positive outlook throughout her treatment for Stage IV nonHodgkin’s lymphoma.

/ July 2011

“I

ncurable cancer.” “Stage IV nonHodgkin’s lymphoma.” These phrases could bring terror to the hearts of those who receive that diagnosis. And, some folks might even throw in the towel. But when Cheryl Harfst of Easton, Ill., heard those words four years ago, she and her family vowed to fight the greatest fight of their lives. They’ve battled three rounds of attack from this disease — even to the point of nearly losing their wife and mother. But never once did they give up. Through faith, strength and support of friends, they are finding victory against this terrible disease. And they are finding their family bond only continues to grow stronger.

“He didn’t really think anything was wrong, but I insisted on a scan,” she says. “And I was diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s lymphoma.” After researching oncologists, Cheryl determined she would prefer treatment at Illinois CancerCare in Peoria, as the reviews were extremely positive and she would be close to her daughter, Gina. Her choice in treatment centers proved beneficial for the road that lay ahead. During a bone marrow biopsy at her first visit to the center, she discovered the true severity of the situation: her cancer was at stage IV — the most advanced level. “Stage IV — and I had little to no symptoms, whatsoever,” Cheryl says.

Learning that life has changed

Beginning the treatment

Livestock and Herefords have always been a part of life for Dean and Cheryl Harfst and their family: daughter, Gina Schwader and her husband, Scott, East Peoria, Ill.; son, Robby and his wife, Susan Shammel, and their children, Austin and Mitchell Harfst and Cassie and Katie Shammel, Ashland, Ore.; and son Jonathan and his wife, Jessica, Battle Creek, Mich. In fact, the Harfsts were at the 2007 Illinois Beef Expo when they received the news that changed their outlook on life forever. Cheryl says she noticed tiny, swollen lymph nodes in her neck. Because she hadn’t been sick, she became suspicious and scheduled a doctor’s appointment.

Treatment for Cheryl’s cancer began immediately with six cycles of clinical trial chemotherapy (chemo). “Also, just before my diagnosis, my dad had died, and we had just moved my mom into a nursing home,” she says. “We had their house to sell. And I was going through chemo, too. It was a rough time.” After this initial round of treatment, Cheryl went into remission for 15 months. And then, the cancer returned. Another clinical trial began. “I was grateful for that,” Cheryl says. “I felt like I could help other people through the clinical trials — not just myself.” This time, however, the trial was unsuccessful. www.hereford.org

Dean and Cheryl Harfst (third from left and second from right) say the support of their family, including daughter Gina Schwader (right), and son Jonathan (second from left) and his wife, Jessica (left), helped them survive the most difficult moments.

“It didn’t work at all,” Cheryl says. “I began a different chemo, which was shrinking the tumors but was lowering my lab counts. Even though I was not in remission, my doctor wanted me to stop treatments for a few weeks. In December ’09, I started preparing for a stem cell transplant.” Through the process of a stem cell transplant, a patient’s stem cells are harvested, carefully processed, cryo-preserved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Then the new cancerfree cells are reinfused. Cheryl was expected to spend 21 days in the hospital — in nearly complete isolation — in order to prevent the introduction of illness. “The room is on its own air system, and only immediate family is allowed to visit,” Cheryl explains. “Visitors have to scrub in and out.” Before she was admitted, she was required to visit the hospital every day for 70 days to flush the tri-port, which was used to harvest www.hereford.org

stem cells, receive medications and re-infuse the new stem cells. On Feb. 18, 2010, Cheryl was admitted to the hospital for what was to be a 21-day stay. She began high-dose chemo for two days, followed by three days of twice-daily radiation.

“After that radiation, I was fried,” Cheryl recalls. “It was like I had been out in the sun for weeks. My lips and mouth peeled constantly — inside and out. I couldn’t even use a toothbrush.” One week later, once her white blood count was down to 0.1, she received the stem cell transplant. “They had to ‘erase my chalkboard,’ so to speak, in order to put in the new, non-cancerous stem cells,” Cheryl explains.

The terrible day Once the new stem cells were infused, the Harfst family believed they were on the downhill slide. But on March 10, the family continued on page 96...

...A Family Finds Its Strength continued from page 95

Dean and Cheryl say their family bonds are as strong as ever, after surviving this challenging experience.

experienced a moment worse than any they could imagine — a moment in which they thought they had lost their wife and mother. “Dad got a phone call from the hospital at 2:30 a.m.,” Gina says. “Mom was being sent to the intensive care unit. He called me right away, knowing I could get there before him.” During a simple, routine breathing treatment, Cheryl had became unresponsive. When Gina arrived at the hospital, she was not allowed to go into Cheryl’s room. Instead, she was met by a chaplain

/ July 2011

in the cardiac ICU (CICU) waiting room. “Seeing the chaplain panicked me,” Gina recalls. “I had no idea what was going on.” When Gina was finally able to see her mom, she saw that Cheryl was intubated and on a respirator. Cheryl’s response upon seeing her family was agitation. “They had to keep her in a mostly sedated state so that she wouldn’t fight the machines,” Gina says. “That was a pretty dark time.” The Harfst family discovered three days later that Cheryl had also experienced a heart attack during the incident, Jonathan says. “Mom experienced a multisystem failure — including her heart, lungs and immune system,” he says. Cheryl doesn’t recall most moments in the CICU — writing messages to family on a white board, as she wasn’t able to speak; removing her tubes on her own, in agitation; or struggling when she saw her family, Gina says. “The nurses explained to us that Mom is the caretaker of the family and that was why she was agitated

— she didn’t want us to be upset,” Gina says. “We discovered she did better when we weren’t in the room with her.” Dean says there were moments when the family wasn’t sure of Cheryl’s future. “At one point, we had the entire family there,” he says. “We didn’t know if she was going to pull through. Everyone had a little question mark in their minds, because she’d already been through so much.” Cheryl remained in the CICU for eight days and slowly but surely improved with each day. And, on her 26th day in the hospital, she was released from CICU back into her isolation room. She underwent a surgery to clear out the sinus infection that had begun the entire infection and system failure and then began the healing process, Gina recalls. On Day 36 of hospitalization, Cheryl began physical therapy. “Mom hadn’t moved in quite some time,” Gina says. “She began walking the aisles of the hospital with a walker, and she began practicing steps.” And, on Day 45, she reached the point which the Harfsts thought might never have been possible — Cheryl returned home.

The new routine Returning home was an incredible accomplishment, Cheryl says. However, although she was in familiar surroundings, life was far from “normal.” She wasn’t allowed to mow the yard, work with her flowers or go to the barn. She couldn’t eat from smorgasbords or in crowded restaurants. She couldn’t attend church or funeral visitations, for fear of infections. Fresh fruit was even off limits — all but bananas, which had to be washed in soap and water, then peeled by someone else. “I had no immunity, and I wasn’t immune to childhood diseases anymore,” she says. www.hereford.org

She recently has begun receiving immunizations for these diseases. Throughout Cheryl’s four years of treatment, she has set goals for herself. Her goal after her initial round of chemo was to attend the 2007 Illinois State Fair. “I had missed seeing all of our Hereford friends,” she says. “It was so hot, and I didn’t have a hair on my head. I took my hat off — I just didn’t care who saw me.” More recently, the goal for her 100-day mark after the stem cell transplant was to attend the 2010 Illinois Junior Hereford Association Preview Show, for which Jonathan served as judge. “That was one of my first times out, and I was so glad to be able to attend that show,” she recalls. And her newest goal is to attend the 2011 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Kansas City, Mo. With each day that passes, “normal” becomes more possible. On March 8 — almost a year to the day of her system failure — Cheryl received the words that were music to her ears: the labs were normal, and she could do whatever she’d like. “It’s nice to be ‘normal,’” Cheryl says. “I can go to the barn and plant flowers and mow the grass.” Cheryl calls 2010 her “miracle year.” “It’s just a miracle that I’m still here,” she says. “That I’m alive is a total miracle. I think my kids and my doctors believe it’s because of all the prayers that I’m still here.”

Faith and family That faith is what helped the Harfsts survive the experience, Gina says. During her illness, Cheryl was never a “why me” person, she says. “I believe she felt she could witness to so many people,” Gina says. “It has strengthened her faith and her friendships.” And, Cheryl believes this experience has strengthened her family bonds. www.hereford.org

“My family was always there — they were solid rocks,” she says. “It has strengthened us, and it helps us to be aware of other people’s problems — to want to help others more.” Gina agrees. She says it’s much easier for her to write a letter to someone experiencing a difficult time now that she’s been through this experience. “It meant so much to us at the time, and now it’s much easier to

send a card or call when someone needs encouragement or support,” she says. And that’s exactly what they experienced from friends nationwide — help and support.

Support of the Hereford community Cheryl says the support received during her hospital stay was incredible. continued on page 98...

Herefords: A Harfst family affair Dean and Cheryl Harfst, Easton, Ill., and their family have a long history in the livestock industry. “I was born and raised around livestock, and it was naturally just part of the way we lived,” Dean says. What began as an operation of dairy cattle, commercial Herefords, hogs and chickens in the early 1900s progressed to the purebred Hereford cattle operation of today. In 1971 the Harfsts moved to their current home and began focusing on their cattle operation. At their peak the Harfsts farmed 2,200 acres and managed more than 100 cows. When the Harfst children — Gina, Robby and Jonathan — were old enough to begin showing cattle, they became active in 4-H and Hereford events, attending nearly every Junior National Polled Hereford Show and then the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) since they were of qualifying age. Jonathan ended his junior Hereford show career in 2005 by winning the JNHE Senior Showmanship and Herdsman awards. And, in 2006, Robby’s sons, Austin and Mitchell, exhibited Herefords for the first time. Active in the Illinois Polled Hereford Association, Dean and Cheryl served as the state junior advisors from 1994-2004, and were national junior advisors during the merger of the polled and horned associations in 1999-2000. In January 2004 the Harfsts retired from grain farming and have since reduced their cow numbers in order to provide a more manageable operation for Dean. Today, the Harfsts manage a dozen cows, some of which serve as embryo donors. Their market is primarily show cattle, which are sold to other purebred producers through private-treaty sales and in the Illinois Beef Expo Hereford sale. Up-to-date herd and sale information can be found at harfstherefords.com. Dean says they’ve always raised Herefords because of their docility and handling ease. “They were easy to handle from the word ‘go,’” he says. “We didn’t like having cows charging all over the pasture. We’ve never had a cow bother us.” The Harfsts also enjoy the Hereford industry because of the friendships formed, Cheryl says. “When the kids started going to the junior nationals, we met people across the country that we just love,” she says. “It’s the friendship and the camaraderie that keeps us involved.” HW

Illinois Hereford friends created these posters during the Illinois Beef Expo to support Cheryl during her stem cell transplant last February. She says the support of Hereford friends helped the entire family get through the roughest moments.

“We counted more than 235 cards — more than half from Hereford people,” she says. “I even got one just last week. And, those cards aren’t even as important as the prayers.” Jonathan recalls the nurses at the hospital laughing about the amount of mail Cheryl received. “She got the most mail of anyone,” he says. “It had to be rubber-banded together.” Cheryl says the Hereford community really rallied around the Harfst family during their time of need. “Tons and tons of Hereford friends would write,” she says. “I didn’t realize some people would send a card every week. It was just amazing. And almost all of them were Hereford friends.” Robby says he’s appreciative of the support from the Hereford community. “We’re grateful for all of our friends in the Hereford industry and thank them for their loving support,” he says. The Harfsts also established a CaringBridge website (caringbridge.org/visit/cherylharfst)

/ July 2011

to keep friends and family updated of Cheryl’s condition. To date, more than 14,000 visits have been logged, Jonathan says. “At one point, we had 30-50 people writing in the guestbook every day,” he recalls. Cheryl says the prayers posted through this website and notes of encouragement helped her family get through the rough times. “We had people all over the country praying,” she says. And, she believes the prayers help to this day.

What lies ahead As for the future of Cheryl’s condition, it’s uncertain. “The cancer I have is incurable,” Cheryl says. “The best outcome is to stay in remission. They will never call me ‘cured.’ But, I’m not afraid.” Together, Gina says she feels as though the family can overcome any obstacle after this experience. “We’ve been through a lot,” she says. “Whatever gets thrown our way, we’ll just take it as it comes.”

Dean says he’s learned to appreciate every moment. “An experience like this makes you realize how much every day means,” he says. “We should live every day to its fullest.” Cheryl agrees. “Your priorities change,” she says. “You don’t really care so much about scrubbing the floors.” Someday in the near future, the Harfsts hope to move their cattle operation north — to Jonathan and Jessica’s property in Michigan. And, Jonathan says, the Hereford herd keeps their family bonds strong. “The cattle keep our family close — we all want to know what’s going on,” he says. “It truly is a family deal. When we talk on the phone, 99% of the time, cattle come into the conversation.” And when conversation turns to helping others, the Harfsts have a few simple words of advice.

Advice for others Cheryl says if you’re facing a difficulty of your own, don’t be afraid to ask for help. “Keep the faith,” she says. “Don’t be afraid to ask for help — especially for prayers.” Dean advises you to remember you’re not alone. “You’re not alone out there, and there’s always someone to help,” he says. “Don’t try to keep it within yourself. Sometimes, you need a post to lean on.” Cheryl also shares a plea for blood and platelet donors. “I received 37 units of platelets and 22 units of blood, they were life-saving. Thank you to those who donate.” The Harfsts have found that by relying on the strength of family bonds and the assistance, prayers and support of others, they can overcome any battles that may stand in their way. Yes, together, they truly have discovered their strength. HW

Hereford Friends The Valek family’s multi-generational involvement in Hereford youth activities provided support in time of loss. by Sara Gugelmeyer

he Valek family of Agenda, Kan., has been in the Hereford business for four generations. Robin, one member of the youngest generation of Valeks, says Herefords are in her blood. Her greatgrandfather purchased the family’s first Hereford as a show project for his daughter. Every generation has been involved in the junior program since. And when Robin’s younger brother Jacob (Jake) died tragically in a car accident in 2007, the Valeks were moved by how many friends, neighbors and “Hereford family” members reached out to help. After Robin’s great-grandfather purchased his first Hereford, it wasn’t long before the Valek family began adding Hereford cows and laid the foundation for the Hereford herd the family continues to manage today. And as the herd and the family grew, so did their involvement in the junior program.

Multi-generational interest

Although Jake’s life was cut short, he spent much of it with Hereford cattle and Hereford friends.

/ July 2011

Robin’s grandfather, Eddie, eventually took over the Valek Hereford herd and, along with cattle, raised six children on the ranch, all of whom grew up showing Herefords. Four of the six children, including Robin’s father, Bill, showed at the polled Hereford junior nationals. Bill and Mick, Bill’s brother, are now partners on the family Hereford operation, and Mick’s children, Brandy and BJ, showed Herefords as well. Bill says the family got into the junior national events as a natural

progression — they were doing well showing and wanted to continue to compete and compare their cattle on the next level. Once they started, they never wanted to stop. “It gets in your blood,” Bill says. “The people are kind of like a big family, and it’s great to keep meeting others with the same interests from all over the country.” Their junior national experiences — and the fun they had along the way — led the first generation of Valek juniors to continue with Hereford cattle and, more importantly, to make sure their children, including Robin, got the chance to participate in the National Junior Hereford Association. “I’ve always believed that my kids should have at least the same opportunities I had and as many beyond that as possible,” Bill says. “Seeing my kids compete and learn and grow and meet people has been wonderful. Where else would they get to make friends with kids from halfway across the country?” Robin, who showed at her last junior national in 2008, says she feels blessed to have been a part of this multi-generational junior national tradition, and it’s a tradition that she feels strongly about continuing. “I definitely hope to bring my kids to the JNHE (Junior National Hereford Expo) someday,” Robin says. “The experience is priceless. I was shy when I was younger, and going to junior nationals helped me to get beyond that and gain a lot of confidence. The www.hereford.org

The Valek family’s commitment to the Hereford breed and involvement in the junior program spans generations.

people you meet and the friends you make become such a big part of your life.” And the family time is also important. Although they keep busy throughout the week, the Valeks try to get out and explore the area while at the junior national, as this event also serves as a family vacation. “We don’t do any other trips, so this is our way to travel,” Robin says. Since Robin began showing, they’ve missed only a few junior nationals and, as a result, have seen a large part of the country — places Robin says she’d never have seen otherwise. In the interest of enjoying the family vacation, Robin says her father always limited the number of heifers to one per kid, with an occasional exception, to ensure that the week was an enjoyable one and not too hectic. Of course, the Valeks find plenty to do throughout the week anyway and competed in many events, including judging, team fitting, showmanship and the 3-on-3 basketball tournament. The week is also an important chance for the extended Valek family to spend time together. Robin’s sisters, Mandi and Kalli, are both actively involved in the junior program as are their cousins Cameron and Tobi Wilber. Brandy www.hereford.org

and BJ grew up on the ranch in Agenda and the Valek cousins worked on and showed cattle bred and raised on the ranch. Robin’s aunt, Nancy Erickson, who lives in Maysville, Mo., traveled with her two kids, Scotti and Jesse, to junior nationals, so the junior nationals have been an occasion for that part of the family to get together with the other Valeks. Although things have changed some, the Valeks still make time to get together for the JNHE. BJ still lives at home on the family ranch, but Robin married Andee Marston and now lives in Tennessee, and

Brandy married Chris Jones and lives in Lakin, Kan., with their young son. “Even though Brandy, BJ, Scotti, Jesse and I are grown and most of us have moved away and begun our own families, we still make time for junior nationals,” Robin says. “Many of us plan to attend the event in Kansas City. We have helped to pave the way for the next generation as well as our younger family members. And we have lots of family memories from these trips,” Robin says. “It’s good to see all of our family together and also continued on page 114...

to see our extended Kansas ‘family’ every year. Each trip has its special moments that I’ll never forget, and I’m sure the future junior nationals will be just as enjoyable.”

Robin all say they are thankful for the outpouring of support from Hereford friends. “Just the fact of being from a small rural community, we had the support of what seemed like Support through tragedy everyone,” Resi says. “We had For the last few years, the JNHE has neighbors and friends willing been bittersweet for the Valek family. to help out with anything from Jake’s tragic death in August 2007 putting up corn, helping with forever changed the family. Robin chores, just generally someone says, “You never get over something being around 24/7 if we needed like this; it just becomes a part of them, but also knowing when we who you are as a person and you needed to be alone.” learn to live with those emotions.” Robin adds, “Having the love Although it was an unimaginably and support of our family, friends painful time, Jake’s father, Bill; and Hereford family certainly mother, Teresa made it easier to get through our “Resi;” and sisters loss. So many people helped in so Mandi, Kalli and many different ways; it is difficult to name them all.” Jake was very involved in showing cattle at the local, state and national levels. He had friends from all across the country from participating in junior nationals. Hundreds of people turned out for his memorial service, held in the local high school gym. Robin recalls, “I don’t remember a lot from the Kansas junior Hereford members honor Jake each year with his funeral, but there were name on the sleeve of their state shirts.

so many people who came. The lives my brother touched were incredible. I remember seeing Chris Stephens (then American Hereford Association youth activities director) walk up at the graveside service. It was so nice of him to come. We didn’t know Chris personally, so he didn’t have to come and pay his respects, but he did because that is the type of people involved in this business.” Robin continues, “The people in the Hereford breed are a large part of what makes the breed so great. They are truly the kind who cares and is always lending a helping hand.” Mandi says, “We received many cards and memorials from people we might not have known personally, but they just wanted us to know they were thinking of us. We would always stop and say how nice that was. It just goes to show the character of the people involved in this business.” Another testament to the strength of the Hereford family is how the junior association memorialized Jake. Sue Rowland, then the Kansas Junior Polled Hereford Association (KJPHA) advisor and personal friend of the Valek family, explains that the KJPHA chose to honor Jake’s memory with his name on the sleeve of their JNHE T-shirts. “It means so much to my family and I that the Kansas juniors have dedicated their state shirts at junior nationals to Jake’s memory and will continue to do so until he would have been too old to show as a junior,” Robin says. “It is always nice to know people still think about Jake, that he made so much more of an impact than we could have ever dreamed.” The JNHE was such a large part of Jake’s life and his family’s that it was important to the juniors to take Jake along with them to the junior national in this way, as he would have continued his family’s tradition had his life not been cut so short.

Walnut Grove Farm The Valek family has been in the Hereford business for more than 75 years. Near Agenda, Kan., Walnut Grove Farm’s roots trace back to 1935, when Ed Valek purchased a Hereford calf as a 4-H project for his son, Eddie. Eddie and Marcella had six children, sons Bill, Mick and Randy, and daughters Marti, Janis and Nancy. Bill, Mick and Marti have continued the Hereford family tradition at Walnut Grove Farm. Mick and his wife, Donna, and Bill and his wife, Resi, are partners in the cattle and farming enterprise. The cattle operation consists of 130 purebred cows, 45 heifers and about 25-30 steers, which are finished each year. They also breed some Hereford cows to Angus bulls to produce topquality black baldie heifers. Most Hereford heifers are kept as replacements. The Valeks use artificial insemination on about 70 cows and heifers each year to take advantage of the top Hereford and Angus bloodlines available. They also sell between 15 and 20 yearling Hereford and F1 black baldie bulls each year as seedstock. The remainder is either sold as age-verified feeder calves directly to the feedlot or retained for finishing by the Valeks themselves.

On the farming side of things, alfalfa, milo, wheat, oats, corn, soybeans and prairie/brome hay are grown. “Every year we fill a 1,500-bushel corn crib to make our steer ration,” Mick explains. Mick’s son, BJ, works full-time on the farm, and Bill’s daughter, Mandi, helps out when she’s home from college. Mick and Bill’s sister, Marti Valek Wilber, helps out at harvest time and with bookkeeping. During the last 10 years, the family has endured some great losses. Not only was Jake lost from this world, but Eddie passed in 2003 and Marcella in 2007. However, in 2010, Mick’s daughter, Brandy, and her husband, Chris Jones, were blessed with the first of the next generation of Valeks, a son named Colby. Mick says, “We hope that Colby will enjoy showing cattle when he’s old enough. He already shows a love for animals.” Mick continues, “The Hereford people have been very supportive through the good and bad times. Their support has helped us greatly and is very appreciated. From showing cattle, we’ve made many lasting friendships nationwide, and from our standpoint, there’s no better breed of cattle than Herefords and no better breed of people than Hereford people.” HW

Heartache at Home A Hereford family’s hardship rallies support from breeders.

uly 8 began as a typical Thursday at the 2010 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Indianapolis. Though it was their first JNHE, the Bowen family of Prosperity Acres in Sunderland, Md., fell in stride with seasoned participants. Parents Michael and Mary made it their goal for by Julie White children Edward, Jacqueline and Jacob to enjoy the full experience, competing in contests and making new friends. In the midst of another busy day at the show, the Maryland and Pennsylvania group of Hereford breeders knew something was wrong when they heard Mary Bowen scream to her husband while talking on the phone. The word would soon spread that the Bowen family had lost their home to a fire. “What we have experienced is that Hereford breeders are very caring people,” says Mary, reflecting on that Thursday. “They are very wholesome and big-hearted.” The support for the Bowen family began in the first moments following the news. A few people around saw the panic in Mary’s face and instantly become concerned. “There were some who followed outside to hear what was going on,” she says. “When they found out, they grabbed me because they could see I was getting hysterical.” Jessica Jensen, Courtland, Kan., a member of the Kansas Junior Hereford Association, is pictured giving The Bowen family immediately National Junior Hereford Association Director Andrew began packing up stalls to leave. Albin a donation for the Bowen family. Numerous “There were people just grabbing families and individuals at the 2011 JNHE donated money and goods to help the family. equipment to help us get loaded.”

The Bowens pulled into their drive at 4:30 in the morning to find what was left of their two-story home. “The darkness of the night couldn’t hide the devastation of the fire,” Mary says. “We lost everything.” Later that morning, Mary received a phone call from the Maryland junior advisor Cyndy Howes. The Bowens had left in such a rush they had been unable to inform her of the fire directly. “She was crying herself,” Mary remembers. “She said, ‘We could have flown you home and someone would have driven your truck.’ And then it occurred to me as she was talking. Oh my God, this is like a family.” Mary soon learned that people continued to stop by the stalls to ask about their family and that the Maryland group had items to bring back for the Bowens. People had gone out to the store and bought things to help. Others brought by checks and gift cards. A gift basket of houseware items someone had won earlier in the week was donated to the Bowen family. “And when Cyndy told us they stopped the show for a minute of prayer for our family, I just didn’t know what to say.” Mary also received a phone call from Amy Cowan, American Hereford Association director of youth activities and foundation, expressing concern and sympathy from the National Junior Hereford Association. Numerous Hereford breeders were asking Amy how to contact the Bowens. “First of all we were in shock from losing the house,” Mary says. “But we www.hereford.org

just had no idea that people would reach out like they did.” Different state Hereford associations contacted the Bowens within a short period of time following the fire. “They were sending us things as we rebuilt the house and moved back in,” she says. Hereford pictures were sent, and one Maryland breeder replaced a keepsake given to Jacqueline by her grandma who passed just months before. The family enjoyed a Hereford afghan sent to them, so Mary bought another and donated it to the Maryland Hereford Association’s auction to help raise money for the juniors wanting to attend the 2011 JNHE. “It was the highest bidding item,” she says. “The circle just keeps going round and round to help these juniors know how important they are to somebody.” Though the Bowen family faced adversity, they remained positive and came out with an understanding of the type of people who are Hereford breeders. “The support has been overwhelming in a wonderful, www.hereford.org

wonderful way,” Mary says. “There were times when I would see my husband sitting and I would go to him and he would say, ‘Mary, I just cannot believe all these people that are helping us because they heard about the fire.’” She said the experience helped them as parents show their children how to treat people. “You need to be willing to lend a helping hand no matter what is going on in their life,” she says. “As parents we are always talking about that, but the fire really helped us to be able to emphasize that point to our kids. Life really is about being supportive to anybody you can help. You just never know the impact you can have on their life — what it’s going to do for them.” Michael and Mary remind their children to never expect a thank you. “You don’t know what’s going on at that moment,” she says. “They may not be able to thank you at that moment, but just to know they have unconditional support from others is what really matters.” Mary wants to send a big thank you from the Bowen family to

the Hereford family. “We are overwhelmed by their kindness and generosity,” she says. “It means more than they could possibly know for them to help a Hereford family they don’t even know. When we do get to meet them, wherever it is, my husband and I will shake their hand and it’s going to feel as if they are our next-door neighbors. We realized we had no idea how many people had our backs during this situation, and we definitely have their back no matter who they are in the Hereford family.” The fire helped emphasize what the Bowens already know: cattle people are caring people. “We are very grateful for everything they did whether it was to stop to say a prayer, call us or send a package — it all meant a lot to us,” she says. “We just hope in time we get to meet everyone and thank them personally.” HW

/ July 2011

t’s not too late to plan your trip to California to support Hereford youth. Hereford enthusiasts will travel to the famous Sonoma Valley Aug. 18-21 to enjoy the finest in food, wine and hospitality. The Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) along with the Jim and Marcia Mickelson family will host the event at Kunde Family Estate. All proceeds will go to HYFA’s $5 million capital endowment campaign to benefit scholarships and education for Hereford youth across the nation. “This is sure to be an unforgettable wine country experience for all who attend,” says Amy Cowan, HYFA director. The event will start in San Francisco, Calif., Aug. 19 with tours and sightseeing in and around the Bay Area on Thursday evening and Friday. On Friday afternoon, the group will make its way to Kunde Family Estate for a casual barbecue and entertainment by Williams and Ree, “The Indian and the White Guy.” Saturday will include a ranch tour of Sonoma Mountain Herefords and local winery tours and tasting. The highlight of the wine country weekend will be Saturday evening’s sale, featuring some of the breed’s most elite genetics. The sale will be managed by Eddie and Ruth Sims of National Cattle Services and will take place on Kunde’s famous Boot Hill, perched high above Sonoma Valley on the steps of the Mayacamas Mountains. Boot Hill boasts a 360-degree view of Kunde’s 1,850-acre winegrowing estate and will be the perfect setting for the evening’s meal and entertainment. The auction will not only feature embryos from the breed’s most prominent donors, flushes and heifer calf pregnancies but will also offer some one-of-a-kind silent and live auction items including vacation getaways, a 2012 National Finals Rodeo package, exquisite artwork and something special for everyone. See catalog included with this issue for more on the offering.

uring the last half century, a wealth of information has been communicated on the use and interpretation of expected progeny differences (EPDs) for selection. If asked, “What is an EPD?” A practical response would be to say it is a measure of the superiority (or inferiority) of a parent in the units of trait measurement (lb. birth weight), assessed in terms of the impact its genes have on the performance of its offspring. However, there has long been an alternative definition of an EPD. That is, the sum of the values of the gene variants that a parent passes on to its offspring. This has been an academic, not a practical, definition, as other than a few exceptions relating to recessive diseases, we have not known how many genes are responsible for the variation we observe in traits like birth weight, and we have had no idea of the particular values of those gene variants. This situation has now begun to change as we move into the genomic era. Whereas genetics is the study of inherited characteristics, genomics is the study of the entire genome — all the genetic material — which can now be extensively characterized on an individual animal by sequencing its DNA for a cost of $2,000-$20,000 per animal, depending upon the depth of coverage. The genome can also be characterized using high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays to obtain the genotypes at about 700,000 (700k) positions along the genome for about $200 or at 50,000 (50k) positions along

the genome for about half that cost. Genotyping using SNP arrays is a service offered by GeneSeek, a company located in Lincoln, Neb. Collectively, these sequencing and genotyping technologies have revolutionized or will revolutionize human medicine, livestock improvement and biological research. Using these high-density 50k SNP arrays to obtain genotypes on a population of 1,000 or more animals with reliable EPDs, or a few thousand animals with individual phenotypes, we are now in a position to obtain EPDs for the individual chromosome fragments that these genotyped animals are passing on to their offspring.

Hereford training analyses This process of characterizing the EPDs of genomic fragments is known as a training analysis, and many such analyses have recently been undertaken by Mahdi Saatchi, a post-doctoral researcher at Iowa State University, using American Hereford Association (AHA) records on all the routinely recorded traits. Saatchi’s work is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through its contribution to the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium (NBCEC), which has a goal of reducing the time it takes for research findings in genetic improvement to be implemented by industry. The animals that have been used in those AHA 50k-based training analyses include individuals from a number of different sources. First, there were Line 1 Herefords

from USDA Miles City, whose genotypes were kindly provided by Mike MacNeil. Second, there were Hereford AI bulls genotyped at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (US-MARC) as part of the so-called 2,000 bulls project that included sires from 16 breeds. Third, there were Hereford animals that were genotyped in projects to identify the source of some recessive genetic diseases. Fourth, there were additional Hereford sires genotyped by AHA and GeneSeek to increase the scope of the training population. Fifth, there were sires genotyped as part of the “weight trait project” being championed by Matt Spangler at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In the future, there will also be Hereford animals with feed intake and other performance data genotyped using the 700k panel as part of a multi-institutional USDAfunded project on feed efficiency led by Jerry Taylor from the University of Missouri.

Estimating genomic EPDs The training analysis estimates the EPDs of small genomic fragments. Once the EPDs of genomic fragments are known, these can be used to estimate genomic EPDs (gEPDs) of other genotyped animals, regardless of their age or sex. This analysis can provide EPDs on young animals at or before puberty, which can markedly increase the accuracy of their information compared to conventional parent average EPDs. Genomic information would not improve the accuracy of prediction of widely used sires whose offspring www.hereford.org

have been individually measured for the trait of interest, as a well-managed progeny test is the gold standard for genetic evaluation. In the future, it is hoped that genomic prediction will be useful to evaluate animals for traits that are not routinely phenotyped in breed associations such as feed efficiency. Such complex traits remain more of a challenge than predicting performance for traits that are relatively cheap and routinely recorded such as growth and ultrasound information. At present, the accuracies of genomic predictions are quite good in immediate relatives of the training animals but less accurate in distant or unrelated animals, with virtually no predictive power in other breeds. The accuracy varies according to the amount of training data (more being better) but also varies from one trait to another, and it varies according to how closely the animals being considered are related to the training population. Providing gEPDs on animals in addition to the conventional EPDs would be confusing not only to scientists but also to AI companies, bull breeders and bull buyers. The most appropriate way to communicate gEPDs is to include them in routine national evaluation in just the same way that ultrasound measures would be used to improve the predictions of carcass traits. In order to incorporate marker information, it is necessary to estimate the genetic correlations between gEPDs and traits, this information summarizing the value of the marker information. These correlations are currently being estimated by Dave Johnston from the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU) in Australia from the information provided in the training analyses so that Johnston and his fellow researchers can develop methods to pool conventional and genomic information for routine application by the Animal Business Research Institute (ABRI) in the Pan-American Cattle Evaluation (PACE) analyses. www.hereford.org

The training analyses utilize published EPDs on the training animals and almost always generate very accurate predictions of the training animals themselves, as there are 50,000 chromosome fragments for which EPDs can be obtained, many more than there are observations in the actual training data.

Cross validation In order to obtain an independent assessment of the accuracy of the predictions cross-validation is used. This involves the following steps. First, the pedigree information is used to sort the animals into groups in such a way that any animal has its close relatives in the same group as itself and more distantly related animals are in one or more of the other groups. Four such groups for AHA animals have been formed. Second, the training analysis is undertaken using three of the four groups, and the EPDs obtained for the chromosome fragments are then used to obtain gEPDs on the animals in the fourth group that was not included in the training analysis. This process allows scientists to determine the accuracy of prediction in that group by comparing those animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gEPDs with their published, pedigree and performance-based EPDs. The process is repeated three more times for each trait so that every animal in every group has a gEPD obtained from training in analyses that excluded its own data. These gEPDs are then used along

with the published information to compute the genetic correlations required for pooling the genomic and conventional information. The results of those analyses undertaken at Iowa State University (the official AGBU results are not yet completed) are shown in the table below. The predictive abilities based on genetic correlations are in column 3 and range from 0.18 to 0.43. At the top end, these values account for 18% genetic variance, much better than the 4% genetic variance which was the best obtained using acrossbreed predictions of AHA animals from training analyses undertaken in some 3,500 Angus AI bulls (column 4) where across-breed correlations ranged from 0.02 to 0.19. The withinbreed predictive ability in Angus, from training on 3,500 AI bulls, is reflected in correlations from 0.51 to 0.80 (column 5) that account for up to two-thirds genetic variance, showing the benefit of increasing the training population size from 1,000 to 3,500 animals.

The Hereford plan Once a routine system is implemented by AHA so that breeders can send hair samples on their animals to a lab and obtain the resultant genomically enhanced EPDs directly from national cattle evaluation, those additional genotypes will become part of the training data so that the predictions get progressively better.

...Hereford Genomic Developments continued from page 171

Hereford eNews for the announcement of when the cooperating lab will be ready to accept samples. Furthermore, Hereford associations in other countries are soon to actively participate in genomic analyses. To date, the Canadian, Uruguayan, Australian and Argentine associations have committed to participating, so EPDs on their 50k genotyped bulls from PACE will be used for across-country validation and then, subsequently, contribute to the number of animals in the next training analysis.

Training analyses will be repeated whenever there are sufficient recruitments to the AHA population of 50k genotyped animals. Research, including that shown in the table on Page 171, has demonstrated that 50k genotypes are not sufficiently dense to enable acrossbreed evaluations. There is some evidence that 700k genotypes may be sufficient, at least for across-breed prediction of animals of the same type (such as British, Continental or Zebu). It is not necessary to re-genotype animals that already have 50k

genotype; their 700k genotypes can be obtained from relatives with 700k genotypes in a computer analysis known as imputation. Those Hereford animals genotyped with the 700k panel as part of the national feed efficiency project will be used for imputation on all animals that currently have 50k genotypes and the training analysis will be repeated using the actual and imputed 700k genotypes. We will be particularly interested in across-breed performance of these predictions, hoping that genotyped animals from Angus and other breeds will enhance the accuracy of Hereford predictions. Nevertheless, in the belief that even higher-density information will be required, we have started DNA sequencing individual bulls to develop methods to impute sequence onto their relatives with 50k genotypes. So far we have only sequenced Angus AI bulls. Imputed sequence will facilitate the discovery of the actual mutations responsible for variation and will enable geneassisted rather than marker-assisted prediction of gEPDs. Genomic prediction is already causing a revolution in livestock improvement. In the dairy industry, it has greatly increased the use of young bulls that historically were seldom used prior to obtaining their progeny test results. Genomic prediction is being used for withinline selection in chickens and in pigs. The AHA represents the first beef cattle breed association to develop and soon to market its own genomic predictions to the benefit of its members. I would hope all Hereford AI sires would, from now on, be routinely genotyped with the 50k panel. This genotyping will ensure that many of the young Hereford animals targeted for genomic prediction will have their sires in the training data. Such populations will then be available for researchers to use in their endeavors to increase the accuracy of genomic prediction by imputation to higher density genotypes (or sequence) and by pooling of animals across breeds.

Telling His Story Through the Farmers Feed US program, a Minnesota Hereford breeder is telling his story to consumers. by Christy Couch Lee

t’s no secret. Consumers want to know how their food is produced. They want to know that the food they’re feeding their families is safe, nutritious and wholesome. And, it’s up to farmers and cattlemen to build that trust by telling their stories.

One Minnesota Hereford breeder, Bryan Lawrence, Princeton, is doing just that. Through the Farmers Feed US program, he is one of 64 farmers from eight states who is telling his story through a website designed to engage consumers and garner their trust.

/ July 2011

Lawrence, a third-generation Hereford breeder, and his wife, Marytina, raise their four children — Montana, 12; Wyatt, 10; Wade, 9; and Wynn, 3 — on their family farm, which consists of 65 registered Hereford cows. Their primary market is local heifer and bull customers. Last fall, Lawrence participated in this state-specific, national program. Farmers Feed US was developed by the Center for Food Integrity (CFI) — a non-profit organization dedicated to building consumer trust and confidence in today’s food system. Mark Crouser, CFI Farmers Feed US project coordinator, says the program was born because of the growing desire for farmers to tell the story of how they care for their land and their animals. “There is a growing interest by consumers in how food is produced,” Crouser says. “So the ability for farmers to tell their story to an engaged audience has never been greater.” Through the Farmers Feed US program, consumers are drawn to the program website through the incentive of winning a year’s worth of groceries from their grocer of choice through $5,000 in gift cards. In order for consumers to register on the site, they must view a video of a farmer in their state giving a virtual tour of his farm. Through this video, the selected farmer exhibits how he or she does, in fact, care about producing safe, affordable and nutritious food. “Consumers are interested in meeting farmers from their state,” Crouser says. “Through the site, they can learn how laying hens are raised. They learn how cattle are raised. And, in Bryan’s case, they learn about the generational connection between his grandfather, father, himself and his wife. He has an interesting and compelling story www.hereford.org

to tell. It shows that Bryan is very much like the rest of us, and we’re able to present that shared connection to consumers.” The approach of the Farmers Feed US program is different than similar outreach projects, as it appeals to the consumer’s sense of shared values, Crouser says. “For far too long, we’ve used science when talking with consumers about the way we raise food,” he says. “But that’s not necessarily something that appeals to consumers. Through Farmers Feed US, farmers talk about their work to produce safe, nutritious and affordable food, all while caring for their livestock and land, as well as families and communities. Those are all values consumers and farmers share.” To date, eight states have participated in the Farmers Feed US program — Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, South Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin, while Illinois will launch this summer. All eight states have participated in the initial 90-day grocery sweepstakes component, and four states have conducted a second sweepstakes phase after the initial event. And, Crouser says, several other states are in the initial planning phase of their own programs. Funding for the program is provided by commodity organizations within each state — from the beef, corn, soybean, swine, poultry and dairy organizations to state Farm Bureau and ag council groups — Crouser says. And, the number and types of organizations vary by state — from more than 30 groups in Michigan to a handful in others. Featured producers are selected based on recommendations from www.hereford.org

Bryan (front, second from right) and his wife, Marytina (front, second from left), along with their family: children, Wade (front, right), Wyatt (front, left), Montana (back, right), and Wynn, (front, center); and Bryan’s parents, Doug (back, left), and JoAnn (back, center) are all involved in the family Hereford operation.

the participating commodity groups, Crouser says. “Traditionally, they have some media training and understand what the consumer would like to know,” he says. “Consumers don’t want to know about the mechanics of a tractor. They want to know that farmers are committed to raising safe and affordable food.” Lawrence says he was contacted for participation through the Minnesota Farm Bureau. “We enjoy promoting agriculture and registered Hereford cattle, so it was a natural fit,” he explains. “When the Minnesota Farm Bureau asked us to be involved, there was no question we would.” With this Farmers Feed US program, Lawrence says, his family’s involvement grew from the video participation to media interviews and activities.

“When the program first kicked off, we did many radio and local newspaper interviews,” he says. “And, I’ve received quite a bit of feedback on the radio interviews, when neighbors heard the interview as they drove down the road listening to the farm report.” The Lawrence family also represented the program by spending a day at their local grocery store, handing out recipes and information about agriculture to customers. “Through this, we had a lot of one-on-one interaction with people,” he says. “Customers told us which products they preferred, and they were excited to see local farmers talking about our products.” In addition, the family attended a University of Minnesota basketball game with winners of a drawing for free tickets to the game as part of the Farmers Feed US promotion. continued on page 186...

“That was a very rewarding experience,” he says. “We got to sit with the winners, and they were so excited about being chosen. It was great interaction with the consumer, and agriculture was spotlighted during that game, as well.” This interactive program approach seems to be working. Crouser says that during the first program launch in Ohio, more than 200,000 consumers registered through the site. And the trend has continued with more than 1 million registrations occurring within the first eight states. In addition, based on a survey sent to participants at the conclusion of the program, nearly 96 percent of participants believed the farmers presented on the site were the kind of people they desired to be producing their food. Although the benefits of speaking out for the industry are well known, the idea can seem intimidating to some producers. However, these men say, it’s as important now as it’s ever been.

“Many farmers have grown up on the farm and have dedicated their lives to raising livestock and crops,” he says. “They show such enthusiasm and passion, and they have an incredible story to tell.” Plus, he says, it’s a producer’s obligation to promote agriculture. “It’s our responsibility to feed a growing Through the Farmers Feed US program, livestock and population, and in the livestock producers are featured, sharing the story of how next 40 years, we’ll have safe, nutritious food is produced. to produce as much food as we have for He recommends you begin the past 8,000 years,” he says. “We at the local level — collecting have an obligation to this growing information about consumer population to produce the food we concerns and facts about the need. In doing so, we must be open industry and researching the and transparent in an effort to gain educational programs available. their trust.” “We need to emphasize that Lawrence says cattlemen and we are food producers — for farmers must tell their stories U.S. consumers and the world,” to these consumers, as the Lawrence says. “The majority of our average American today has little operations are still family owned, connection to agriculture. and these families are consuming “There is a huge disconnect the products we produce.

Generations John and Beverly Bryan and their family continue a tradition of raising registered Herefords in south central Idaho.

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE BRYAN FAMILY

by Maggie J. Malson

etween Bliss and Gooding, in south central Idaho, sits JBB/AL Herefords, a family-owned, third-generation Hereford ranch. As I sat down with John and Beverly Bryan, their daughter, Dawn, and her husband, James Anderson, I was reminded of this great cattle industry and the people who get up every day to care for their stock and their land, donate their time to help others in need and provide food and fiber to the rest of the world. It was a pleasure to visit with this genuine and humble family, who are representative of the many ranching families across our great nation. Both John’s maternal and paternal grandparents moved to Idaho from Kansas. They settled in the area, farming and ranching. His Mom’s dad started raising Herefords. “Herefords were king back then,” John says. “There was no question that was the breed of choice.”

The entire family gathered together. Back row (l to r) are: Dawn and James Anderson, John Bryan, Bryan Anderson, Shawn and Stacy Bryan. Seated are Beverly Bryan and her mother, Lavella Slatter. Front row (l to r) are: Jae Anderson, Cassy Bryan and Mike Bryan.

John had been raised around cattle all his life, and he was deeply rooted in the industry. When he and Beverly married in 1962, he had 15 cows to start his own herd. In 1967 they started raising registered Herefords and moved to their present-day ranch in 1969. He had a loyalty to the breed his family raised but continued breeding them for the positive traits they offered the industry. “Herefords are good gainers, have good dispositions and are excellent mother cows,” he says. “About 95% of our customers put our Hereford bulls on a predominantly black cow herd. They really want the hybrid vigor the Hereford breed offers.” Beverly says, “We knew we weren’t going to be a large operation. So, we chose quality over quantity. We wanted to raise good cattle. “When we started, it was before EPDs (expected progeny differences),” she adds. “Once we began performance testing, we realized that if those old favorite cows weren’t doing their job, they had to go to town.” The Bryans’ son, Shawn, and daughter, Dawn, both grew up helping their parents farm and raise cattle. They spent many summers swathing hay and showing Herefords in 4-H, FFA and the Idaho Junior Hereford Association (IJHA). Now, Shawn is a building contractor and lives with his wife and children in a house he built on the ranch. Dawn and James Anderson also live on the ranch. Their children, 19-year-old son, Bryan, and 14-year-old daughter, Jae, are the fourth generation to help raise Herefords. They are following in their mother’s footsteps, showing cattle and holding leadership positions in the IJHA. www.hereford.org

Beverly’s mother also lives near them, making it four generations who live on the family ranch. In 1992 the Bryans formed a partnership with Dawn and James, who had Anderson Livestock. “Dawn was my mother’s only granddaughter, so Mom gave her the family brand—an open A L,” John says. “We joked that when she married, her husband should have a last name that started with A. Well, it worked out that way. We just combined the two in our partnership and became JBB/AL Herefords.” James’ family came from the grocery industry, and he was working in the meat department at Safeway in Gooding when he and Dawn met. “It’s nice to have that industry background,” James says. “I think it helps us remain in touch with the ultimate consumer of our product. We raise bulls for commercial cattlemen, but we have to keep focused on the quality of the meat the consumer wants to purchase. All of our genetic decisions are based on that.” In fact, the meat counter is the first place John and James go when they enter a grocery store. Beverly jokes it’s the only place in the store John can locate. Last September, the family participated in an event at Ridley’s Family Markets in Jerome sponsored by the Idaho Beef Council. Ridley’s has grocery stores in Idaho, Utah, Nevada and Wyoming and offers Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®). www.hereford.org

“We took a 2½-year-old herd sire and two of his bull calves down there,” John says. “Customers could guess how much they weighed, and the winner would receive $400 of beef.” “It was a great promotion,” says Beverly. “We had the chance to meet a lot of consumers and listen to their thoughts and ideas on beef. The event drew a lot of attention. We were also able to talk about our operation and the positive things we are doing to raise beef.” The Bryans have always raised range-ready bulls for commercial cattlemen, selling in 29 bull sales. They sold for 15 years at the Gooding Livestock Market before it closed, then held an annual sale at their own ranch. Now, they market their cattle in March with Spring Cove Angus Ranch at the Cattleman’s Connection Sale. In addition, they have started offering locker beef to area neighbors. “We had one gentleman call and want to come see our place before he purchased any beef,” Beverly says. “People want to know the animals are being raised in a clean environment and are treated properly. It’s just a sign of the times. We all need to be telling our story of how we treat our animals humanely and raise a healthy food supply.”

For the love of… “You have to love it to stay in it,” Beverly says about the cattle industry. “There used to be so

many Hereford breeders. It seems like there was one under every rock, but there are a lot fewer now.” Dawn adds, “Everyone wants to be in it when things are going well, but not everyone has the fortitude to stick with it when times are lean.” The Hereford breed and cattle industry, in general, have gone through many changes in the last 30 years, including type and kind. “We had a gentleman tell us once that you can follow the trends a little bit, but you want to stay in the middle of the road,” Beverly says. “You don’t want to breed them too small or too big or chase fads. We’ve tried to always breed our cattle with that mentality.” John adds, “Our philosophy has always been to have good, usable cattle that go out on the range and work. We want the cows to come back bred with a heavy calf following behind.” JBB/AL calves in the spring and fall and has found its fall continued on page 194...

bulls to be the favorites of the commercial buyers. “They have some more growth to them but are still young enough to get some extra years out of them too,” John says. “We’ve seen a change in the industry where people are wanting to buy Hereford yearling bulls. It used to be they would only buy 2-year-olds, but now they see the value in the calves and have figured out how to manage them. It’s nice to sell them as yearlings and not have as much feed costs into them.” The cows are time bred AI (artificial insemination) for 30 days, then turned out with the bulls. James and Bryan do the AI work. “We mate the bulls and cows based on the different traits each one offers that will help the other out,” James says. “Selecting and mating the cattle is my favorite part of the business. I like being able to see the end result in the set of calves we get.” John says his favorite part of raising cattle is quite simply— buckarooing. In fact, a recent

anniversary gift from his wife was a 2-year-old gelding. “If Dad could get on a horse at daybreak and not get off until sundown, he’d be a happy man,” Dawn added. Dawn is usually the one in charge of breaking the calves to show and helping get them ready on show day. The family has attended the Western Nugget National Show & Sale in Reno for the past 20 years, whether it’s been to show or sell cattle or just to watch. “It’s our family vacation,” Dawn says with a smile. “We take animals to exhibit, plus it’s a chance to visit with breeders and see a lot of cattle. And it’s a lot of fun too.” As a district manager for the Department of Correction, Dawn deals with people in a negative environment. “I love being outside and working with the cattle,” she adds. “It’s so different from my day-to-day work and is a nice break from all the negativity that comes with that line of work.”

Beverly loves the lifestyle. “When we got married, I decided I could either learn to like it or be miserable,” she says. “My dad farmed, but I didn’t grow up around cattle ranching. Before James came along, I helped with all the clipping and getting the cattle ready for shows and sales. “I also really like how the industry has created new cuts of beef to market and helped consumers learn how to use them,” she adds. “The lifestyle is something that appealed to us, too,” Dawn says. “Growing up in it, I had to learn responsibility and work ethic. We’ve tried to pass that on to our kids. As ‘ranch kids,’ they really get to practice those skills.” In fact, Bryan and Jae do their fair share of chores and work to help the family operation. Bryan splits his time among attending class at College of Southern Idaho (CSI), helping his family with the cattle, and swathing and baling hay for an area custom hay operation. When not in school or

Idaho beef industry unites against hunger When the Idaho cattle industry realized a need, its members stepped up and decided to “meat” it. Learning that the Idaho Foodbank distributes food to an average of 116,000 hungry Idaho children, families and seniors each month and that the need is especially great for sources of protein, like beef, the Idaho Cattle Association (ICA) united with the Idaho CattleWomen, Idaho Beef Council, Agri Beef Co. and the Idaho Foodbank to launch the program Beef Counts — Idaho’s beef industry united against hunger. “We just felt this was the right thing to do,” says John Bryan, JBB/AL Herefords, Gooding, Idaho, who served on the ICA board of directors during the planning stages and launching of the program in 2010. After weaning last summer, the Bryans’ family ranching operation donated a heifer calf to Beef Counts. Cattlemen throughout the state can donate a calf, or the cash equivalent, for beef to be distributed by the Idaho Foodbank. A single donated animal will provide approximately 1,600 servings of high quality beef to hungry Idahoans. Additionally, Agri Beef Co., Boise, Idaho, will provide a 50% match for all contributions, increasing the amount of servings to almost 2,400 per animal.

“This program illustrates to society the compassion and social responsibility of cattle producers, which in turn has the potential to build consumer confidence in our product and production practices,” says Wyatt Prescott, ICA executive vice president. Since its inception, the program has raised $90,000 dollars, including producer contributions and the match from Agri Beef Co., amounting to nearly 100,000 servings of wholesome, high-quality beef. “Lean beef is an excellent source of not only protein, which the body needs for growth and maintenance of the body, but also vital minerals and nutrients like zinc and iron,” says Jessyca Tyler, Idaho Foodbank nutrition services specialist. “High quality beef, like that donated through the Beef Counts program, helps us provide nutritious food to the clients we service at the Foodbank. This complete source of protein is essential for the normal, healthy functioning of every cell in the body.” Jenifer Johnson, Idaho Foodbank vice president of development, says this program provides a sustainable, consistent supply of high-quality beef to the Foodbank’s community partners and networks. www.hereford.org

playing sports, Jae helps, too, and has enjoyed participating on the marketing team for the IJHA and serving as a director.

Giving back Having grown up in the IJHA, Dawn feels strongly about giving back to today’s youth. “Our future is in our youth,” she says. “James and I, just as my parents, believe that if we don’t foster the virtues of ethical, good works in our youth, we are doing nothing to support our community and, in this case, our industry. Cattle raise good kids, and, additionally, the kids have the opportunity to gain life and work skills along the way.” In addition, the family has been a member of the American and Idaho Hereford Associations, as well as Idaho Cattle Association (ICA) and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association members for more than 30 years. Last November, John finished his two-year term as Purebred Council Chairman for the ICA. “I enjoyed

getting to know the policies, people and process more while being on the ICA Board,” John says. “The biggest issue the Purebred Council worked on was getting new regulations for trichomoniasis testing for cattle coming into Idaho,” he says. “There are a lot of things we can’t do as an individual but we can as a group,” Beverly says. “As a whole, the agriculture community needs to work together to better the entire industry and to share Together James and Dawn Anderson and Beverly and John the positive things we do Bryan manage JBB/AL Herefords. every day.” One large project the it’s a great program to help our ICA was involved in while John neighbors in need.” was a board member was starting Driving away from JBB/AL the Beef Counts program, which Herefords that day after a tasty is a collaborative effort between barbeque lunch, a tour of the industry and The Idaho Foodbank ranch and some great conversation, to provide wholesome, safe beef to I couldn’t help but smile when I hungry Idahoans. (see sidebar) reflected on this long-standing “We realized there was a great family operation with a great love need for a protein source for of Hereford cattle and a strong people coming to the Foodbank,” sense of giving back. HW John says. “And we know beef is the best source out there. We think

“The beef industry and Agri Beef Co., have always been big supporters of the Foodbank, and donations have come in as available,” she says. “With this program, we have the ability to strategize and plan for events and distribution of beef throughout the year.” The face of hunger in Idaho and across the nation has changed in recent years. It’s not just the homeless person living under an underpass or the person holding a cardboard sign at a freeway on-ramp. “One in six Idahoans does not know where their next meal might come from,” Johnson says. “We are seeing people who’ve been past donors to the Foodbank themselves, but due to losing employment or other circumstances, now turning to us to help with emergency food needs. They usually have exhausted all other resources.” As a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, the Idaho Foodbank is not subsidized by the government and relies on community contributions. “We tried to make the donating process to Beef Counts really easy for cattle producers,” Johnson says. “They can either donate a live animal through one of the participating auction facilities across the state or make a cash donation. Because of our nonprofit status, producers can make charitable tax contributions through the Idaho Foodbank.” www.hereford.org

Johnson says cattlemen not only offered many practical ideas for how to establish and run the program but also expressed care and concern for those in need. “The passion and heart of cattle producers is so evident,” Johnson says. “They don’t want their neighbors going hungry. We are extremely proud to be associated with the Idaho beef industry. This has been a landmark initiative and the first one of its kind in the country. We are excited to see how we can use it as a template to not only help other foodbanks establish similar programs but also looking to getting other agriculture industries involved to meet the food needs of the population.” Prescott says the possibilities for growth of this program are endless. “We want to see the program run itself and have producers plan on that contribution every year,” Prescott says. “We have done the trailblazing for this program, and now it’s up to the cattlemen to make it grow.” The program has already seen growth, as Washington used Idaho’s template to form a similar program in its state. “That’s great,” he adds. “We hope that it spreads to every state and we see national media coverage on the producer’s compassion for their fellow man.” HW

Jim McDougald is doing what it takes to adjust to California’s changing landscape and ensure the family ranch remains. by Sara Gugelmeyer, photos by Mark Holt

hen most people think of California, there are many things that come to mind, none of which have much to do with cattle or ranching. And yet, look at McDougald Ranch, which has been in the family for five generations, and you might change your perspective. Here, near Friant,

204

/ July 2011

Calif., Hereford and black baldie cows graze contentedly in rolling hills of lush green grass bordered by beautiful oak woodlands. It’s no wonder Jim McDougald’s greatgreat-grandfather thought it was good land to homestead in 1889. Although little has changed on the McDougalds’ 1,400 acres or so in the

last 132 years, tumultuous California has transformed life for the McDougald family and, therefore, the cattle operation, forever.

Times of change The most dramatic changes to ranching in California, or really doing anything in California, have come about in the last 50 years, according to Jim. Most of

www.hereford.org

those have come with overregulation of public land. In addition to the McDougald family’s cattle business, Jim’s mother’s family, the Norbys, were in the logging business. At one time, the two families logged on federal lands in California, operated a family-owned sawmill and ran as many as 800 cows by utilizing summer grazing permits on public land. That has all since changed. “We used to take the cattle to the mountains in the summertime, so we were able to run a lot more cattle then,” Jim explains. “Basically what happened is they started turning land into wilderness over environmental issues and basically dwindled the cattle in the central Sierras of California down to nothing.” Sure, the McDougalds still have the grazing permit, but now they are allowed to graze only 25 cows. “It isn’t even worth it,” Jim says. “We couldn’t run enough cattle up there to make it worth the trip. Our operation was set up around having that mountain permit, and we didn’t have a lot of rangeland that we owned, so that caused us to change our operation.” Jim says although the changes are necessary, they are saddening. “When I was a kid and through college, I used to help the family drive our cows to the mountains and spend summers in the High Sierras moving cows with my grandfather. Now no cows are allowed on that old permit, and my kids will never have the opportunity to experience that.” Also, the family logging business had to go completely. “For the same reasons, basically, the logging industry in California all went away,” Jim says. “That actually all happened in my generation. Everything we were doing went away in my generation.”

Starting out Jim grew up on the family ranch, but he started his own herd as a kid with two cows his grandfather had given him. In about 7th grade, he started showing Herefords he raised. After graduation, Jim headed to nearby Fresno State University, Fresno, Calif., to study animal science and judge livestock. At Fresno State he gained www.hereford.org

Jim and his wife, Valerie, enjoy raising their children Kinsey, 14, and Cody, 16, on the family ranch.

valuable knowledge as well as contacts in the livestock industry. In fact, Jim says judging livestock at Fresno State greatly affected the course of his life. “I have to say that it was livestock judging that had a big influence in my life. John Corderio was my college coach, and he was a student and assistant coach for Bill Jacobs.” When Jim was looking for an internship, his connection to Bill Jacobs, then the manager of K74 Herefords, paid off. “I got the opportunity to go work at K74 in Oklahoma on an internship,” Jim says. “That was my first opportunity to see what the real purebred industry was like and work for a big purebred operation like that. Although we had purebred cattle, I was never around a large-scale purebred operation, like selling maybe 100 bulls. It was definitely one of the things that changed my whole perspective on the Hereford breed. I also met a lot of people while working for Bill, association people that I hadn’t ever been around before. I started meeting a lot of people and becoming more involved in the Hereford breed. I owe a lot to both John Corderio and Bill. Without that I don’t have any idea what would have happened in my life.” Jim’s time in Oklahoma also affected his personal life. He met K74 herdsman Kevin Hafner’s cousin Valerie, whom he would marry in 1991. continued on page 206...

Her family was also in the cattle business, showing Simmentals on a national level. Jim says, “I found a great wife and her family, and it propelled me to a different level in the cattle business.” Armed with the knowledge and seedstock industry connections he gained in college and at K74, Jim headed back to the ranch to put them to work. “We started using AI (artificial insemination) even before I came back,” Jim says. “They (Bill and Cliff Knight from K74) really helped me out and worked with me and allowed me to use their bulls AI. At that time, all the purebred cattle came from my original two cows of my grandfather’s except for a little semen I was able to get through the junior AI program. I learned to do AI when I was in college, so we started AIing a lot

using K74 bulls. I also bought the only cows that were introduced into the herd — probably a total of 10 cows came from there. We also started using some Holden-bred, Line One bulls.”

Making it work Until 1994 Jim worked at the family sawmill and cared for the cow herd. “When all these things started going down, the timber industry and the change of permits, I had to do something different,” Jim says. It’s not a big enough operation to make a living off of, so I went to work for the California Department of Forestry, CALFIRE.” CALFIRE is a state-funded agency that helps prevent and fight wildfires in the state of California. Jim hired on as a firefighter, working 72-hour shifts with four days off in

between. When it wasn’t fire season, this schedule allowed him time for the cattle. About a year ago, however, Jim was promoted to battalion chief and now is the prefire coordinator for the southern half of California. Jim explains the pre-fire program: “One of our main involvements is working with private land owners to reduce fuel, brush and vegetation, to help reduce damage from wildfire. So we do things like help people build fuel breaks to protect homes or rangeland and make formulas to help folks do a better job of reporting what the damage is to rangeland, dollarwise. My cattle and livestock background has floated over to what I am doing with CALFIRE because now I am working with ranchers. “A lot of the problem with fires is due to the changes in California. We’ve removed grazing, especially in our national forests, and logging, and it has caused us to have larger, more catastrophic fires because of the fuel concentration. As California becomes less agriculture friendly, places that used to be rangeland now have houses on them. There are big belts of grass or brush belts where people used to run cattle which now have really converted to houses, so when we have these fires, it burns up houses rather than just rangelands. It’s all related to how things have changed in California.” On his own ranch, although he was forced to downsize because of the loss of federal-lands grazing, the McDougald herd now consists of about 125

www.hereford.org

cows, with approximately half being purebred and the remainder mostly black baldies. Still in partnership with his parents, Neil and Sandy, and brother, Neil Jr., Jim sells a few bulls, about 20 black baldie replacement heifers and the rest mainly as feeders to Harris Ranch Beef Co. Jim also uses his livestock judging experience judging cattle shows. He has judged many regional shows and the Western Nugget National Hereford Show at Reno, Nev. Jim and Valerie have two children — Cody, 16, and Kinsey, 14, who are active in the California Junior Hereford Association and show home-raised cattle. Jim says there are a million reasons why the junior program is good for his children, but he stresses that it’s their choice to participate. “They just like to do it; they really enjoy the cattle, and it teaches them responsibility and all the things that go along with that. They like it, but if they don’t want to show, they don’t have to; I don’t push them at all. My kids are really involved and busy with school activities too.”

Family operation McDougald Ranch, like so many outfits, is truly a family endeavor. Three generations — Jim’s parents, Jim and Valerie, and Cody and Kinsey — live at the ranch headquarters and work together often. Although it’s been remodeled many times, parts of Jim’s parents’ home were original to the ranch when it was homesteaded in the 19th century. The original blacksmith shop has been renovated and is still used as a shop on the place. With so much family history, Jim hopes to see the ranch continue into the next generation, despite the dwindling cattle operations in California. The threat of subdivision still looms, but Jim says, “We haven’t really sold off any land; it may be in different families, like uncles or cousins, but we haven’t really www.hereford.org

lost any land. Now it’s all broke up where everybody has their own cows.” Being responsible and caring for the land is not something Jim takes lightly. “Where we live you can run about one cow to every 10 or 12 acres. So what drives how many cows I run is the rangeland. In the years that California has droughts, we Decades of selective breeding have helped Jim continue to cut back on cows. improve his Hereford genetics. Last year we started building cows again, but in the that I have accomplished to this drought I was down to 75 cows. point.

King Named 2010 New Mexico Cattleman of the Year Bill King, Stanley, N.M., was named the 2010 Cattleman of the Year by the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association Bill King (NMCGA) during the recent Joint Stockmen’s Convention held in Albuquerque. “Bill has been a national leader in breed organizations, cattlemen’s associations and probably is as politically astute as any cowman

this state has ever had the privilege of working with,” said Bert Ancell, NMCGA president, Las Vegas. “We are pleased to have this opportunity to thank him for his years of service to the NMCGA and the cattle industry.” The Cattleman of the Year award, sponsored by Wells Fargo, is given annually by the NMCGA to a member in recognition of that person’s contributions to the industry. The King family ranches in central New Mexico and are known both for quality cattle and political service. The son of Governor Bruce and Alice

King, Bill has political roots as deep as his cattle industry roots, Ancell said. “Bill never takes credit when things are accomplished on behalf of the beef industry, but is always there, working behind the scenes to make things happen. His expertise, both in the political arena and in cattle production and feeding, has been very valuable to our industry.” King raises registered Hereford, Angus and Charolais cattle, as well as commercial cattle, on the family ranch near Stanley with the help of his three daughters: Becky Spindle

Don and Doris enjoyed ranching and all aspects of rural Sandhills life. In the mid-1950s, they purchased a small ranch adjacent to the Spencer Ranch. The Spencer Ranch had been raising registered Herefords before Doris married Don, and raising registered Herefords became the focus of their ranching operation and future years. They hosted their first production sale in 1959, and Spencer Herefords hosted its 51st annual sale in the fall of 2010. Doris enjoyed traveling with Don to various cattle events www.hereford.org

and meetings and on bull deliveries through the years. Don and Doris loved dancing and attending Nebraska Hereford meetings, as well as stockgrower and Sandhills cattle association events. In their later years they especially enjoyed attending American Junior Hereford events with a group of friends known as the “super eight.” Doris was an active member of Brewster United Church of Christ and the American Legion Auxiliary in Brewster.

He was honorably discharged in San Diego in 1946. continued on page 214...

Visit the Gammon Barn during Iowa State Fair Hereford enthusiasts are invited to visit the Gammon Barn Aug. 11-21 during the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. Member volunteers of the Iowa Hereford Breeders Association (IHBA) will welcome guests to the museum from 9 a.m. to noon and 1-4 p.m. every day of the fair. Named for polled Hereford founder Warren Gammon, the barn is known as the birthplace of polled Herefords. In 1991 it was moved to the Iowa State Fairgrounds, just east of the livestock pavilion. The barn serves as a museum to the breed and its leaders. While the lower level is used as a large meeting area, the upper portion houses the Gammon Barn Museum, which contains the Polled Hereford Hall of Fame and a display of breed artifacts. Since the barn’s relocation, maintenance and upkeep of the museum have been the responsibility of the IHBA. Members assist in pre-fair cleaning to prepare the museum for viewing and take shifts hosting during the state fair. Their only compensation is having their fair admission and parking paid when they work. Staffing alone costs the IHBA approximately $500 per year. As IHBA funds have allowed, some upgrades have been made to the barn, such as additional display cabinets. However, several other improvements are needed to better highlight the breed treasures featured in the museum. Additional floodlights activated by a switch instead of electrical cords should be in place by this year’s fair, at a cost of $1,000-$2,000. Other items on the “wish list” include an improved ventilation system, which could run from $5,000-$10,000, and lighted display cabinets. In addition, there are more than 100 portraits of pioneer breeders, drawn by artists Bruce Huxol and D.O. (Don) Smith, that need to be displayed. Rendered in the mid1970s, these sketches recognize breeders who at the time had been in business for 50 years or more. When the breeders visited the Hall of Fame, they signed their portrait and had their photograph taken with it. The IHBA welcomes financial contributions from breeders or associations who are interested in helping preserve this national archive, which provides an educational resource to cattle people and city folk alike. Donations may be directed to the IHBA at 13359 280th St., Redfield, IA 50233-6014; for more information, contact Rande Seuferer at 515-971-5135 or randlseuferer@windstream.net. The museum is open to all visitors during the Iowa State Fair and can also be visited by special appointment by contacting Grant Seuferer at 515-979-2846 or Rande Seuferer at 515-971-5135. HW

A member of the Oregon Hereford Association and the American Hereford Association, he enjoyed his work and specialized in cattle sale clipping and custom cattle fitting.

Survivors include his parents, David and Linda Burns; sister, Sarah Burns; brothers, David Burns Jr. and Michael Burns; and girlfriend, Kaitlan McKinnis. Ernest Pérez, 87, of Encino, N.M., passed away June 6 while doing his morning chores. He and his wife of Ernest Pérez 65 years, Jewel, and their five children owned a registered and commercial Rambouillet sheep and Hereford cattle operation. Ernest volunteered for service in World War II and was part of the invasion of The Beaches at Normandy in 1944. After four years of service, he returned home to Encino to manage the family ranch. He was responsible for 5,000 ewes and 400 cows. Ernest acquired his first registered Hereford cow in 1950 and bought a lifetime membership to the AHA at that time.

Due to drought Ernest and Jewel dispersed the cow herd in 2004. His son Michael continued the family tradition of raising registered Herefords, establishing C&M Herefords in 1980. Ernest continued in the sheep business until his death. He was known worldwide for his registered Rambouillet sheep. He sold sheep in 22 states, exhibited the champion fleece at the National Western Stock Show 10 times and retired three flock fleece traveling trophies, which had to be won three years consecutively to retire the trophy. Ernest’s greatest accomplishment was being the first American to win Champion Fleece of the World in 1989 in Tasmania, Australia. Survivors include his wife, Jewel; three sons, Michael, Jeffery and Chris; two daughters, Diana Gallegos and Kathrin Dinwiddie; and eight grandchildren. HW

ur newest herd sire, PW 709 Victor 962, has made a grand appearance this breeding season. He is genetically powered by grass not corn. This bull has matured and grown to 2+ years of age with no grain products. This breeding season while grazing with 25 cows for 50 days, he had no weight loss and ended with over 90 percent conception rate. Most recently, he visited the stud farm where he produced over two hundred units in two jumps. This bull is high in fertility and has been a great asset to our breeding program.
