SEEDSTOCK SHOWS AND SALES

SALE CATTLE IDENTIFIED BY EID TAGS

All Ohio Beef Expo Sale Cattle will be identified with EID tags to comply with the USDA Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) rule for interstate shipment of cattle. This means that no matter what an individual state’s requirements for transporting cattle may be, potential Expo cattle buyers can be assured that they can easily ship their Expo purchases into any state. For more information contact the Ohio Beef Expo official veterinarian Dr. Eric Gordon at 937-642-2936 or see the 2020 Ohio Beef Expo health requirements at www. ohiobeefexpo.com.

BVD TESTS MANDATORY

All cattle (from Ohio and out-ofstate) consigned to breed sales, show cattle, display breeds and Genetic Pathway cattle at the 2020 Ohio Beef Expo must be tested negative for Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) persistent infection (PI) status prior to arrival at the 2020 event. Any animals (required to be tested) arriving at the Expo without a negative BVD PI test, will be ineligible to participate in the 2020 Ohio Beef Expo and will be excused from the show grounds. Type of test and negative test results must be 10 | 2020 Ohio Beef Expo Program

Cattle in Ohio Beef Expo sales are sold into many different states and it is important that consignors keep this in mind when planning for the sales. The lot numbers of the animals that do not meet the Ohio Beef Expo health requirements will be announced

prior to each breed sale. Health papers (CVIs) will NOT be issued for cattle that do not meet the Ohio Beef Expo health requirements. These health papers are typically written at the sale’s clerking table and accompany the cattle to the new buyer’s location.

Phelps has been dedicated to the Ohio Beef Expo since the start of the event. In the beginning, he attended the event and purchased bulls at the breeds sales. Phelps has served on the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association board of directors since 2011 and as association president in 2014 and 2015. If you look

for Phelps at the Expo, for well over a decade you could most likely locate him at the membership booth where he prides himself in recruiting members for the state and national organizations. Phelps operates an 1,800-acre grain farm and manages 250 head of registered Limousin cattle with his father near Belle Center, Ohio. He has been around the industry since birth, and this inspired him to attend The Ohio State University where he was a part of the OSU livestock judging team during his college years. Phelps has served on the Logan County Soil and Water Conservation District board for 33 years. He is also involved with his county’s cattlemen’s association where he served as president and continues to promote their product in a variety of ways and provide scholarships to industry youth. He recalls attending the Ohio Beef Expo from the start and expressed that he hasn’t missed many. He devotes his time to working in the membership booth and assisting in the setting up and tearing down of the event. His fondest memories of the Ohio Beef Expo are meeting the people, seeing the variety in trade show vendors, and seeing the reward in start to end of the event. Since the Expo’s early years, Phelps shared the event has greatly expanded— the trade show has grown, and facilities are being expanded. He strives to make people aware of the importance of the beef industry and build membership to keep the doors of the organization open. Phelps said, “The Expo is a great opportunity to visit vendors, learn about equipment, attend

educational seminars, gain different perspectives, and make friends.” “He is one of a kind when it comes to volunteers and outstanding industry leaders,” said Elizabeth Harsh, OCA Executive Director, referring to Phelps. “He just never has an off day and is always a tremendous ambassador for Ohio’s beef industry.” He believes the biggest success for the industry this year is the cooperative work among commodity and environmental groups to address Ohio’s water quality challenges and to partner with the administration on the development of the H2Ohio program. Phelps wants to share his thanks to Elizabeth Harsh, Joe Foster, and his uncle Dale Runnion for instilling the importance of the beef industry in his life and encouraging him to share that passion with others. “I look forward to expanding the event, seeing a large crowd, and witnessing quality cattle at this year’s event.”

AMW CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION

The AMW Cattlemen’s Association serves the industry in a different perspective at the Ohio Beef Expo. The laughter and conversation flow easily as each year members of the AMW Cattlemen’s Association gives back to those involved at the Expo by preparing lunches and distributing them to each exhibitor in the Ohio Beef Expo trade show. Several years ago, there was an active organization in some of the AMW (Athens, Meigs and Washington) counties, but over time inactivity and

membership and leadership changes caused the county associations to disband. In 2013, a group of community members recognized the need to form an organization to serve as a liaison to cattle producers and the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association. “The Athens, Meigs and Washington County Cattlemen have been instrumental to the success of the Ohio Beef Expo,” said Stephanie Sindel, OCA Director of Member Services. “Their enthusiastic support and teamwork are a true testament to their organization and a highlight of Saturday at the Expo.” The organization strives to distribute scholarships to industry youth each

year, annually sponsor one of the three county fairs, provide Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) programs for local farmers, and expose members to educational topics such as vaccination programs, 4-H, grooming, and cover crops. Stephanie Cox said, “Our first year of attendance at the Beef Expo, we received recognition for overall most membership gain and won a set of cattle scales. With those scales, we raffled them off in the fall and utilized funds to provide scholarships.” At the Ohio Beef Expo, the organization prepares sandwiches and distributes meals to vendors at the trade show. They are grateful for the opportunity and appreciated it when OCA staffer Stephanie Sindel reached out to them five years ago. Roberta Washburn said, “It is a great way for members to socialize and it helps OCA to have a group to depend on to prepare and deliver lunch. It is good to support OCA, because they are so nice and supportive to us. We are one unit

supporting one common goal, vendors included. It might be a small task, but its a big impact.” The organization believes their biggest challenge is membership. Washburn stated they combat this by providing programs and speakers that are inclusive to the whole industry with an array of topics. Mike Pullins, AMW president, emphasized the importance of promoting familyoriented involvement and expressed his excitement for membership drives. Cox would like to thank Stephanie Sindel and Elizabeth Harsh for encouraging their involvement at the Expo and providing information to the organization. Washburn shared her gratitude for her brother and sister-in-law being supportive of their involvement in the beef industry. Pullins shared, “We look forward to meeting people we usually only get to see this time of year. The Expo does a great job of providing something for everyone regardless of what they’re looking for. There’s diversity in vendors for individuals to check out new feeds, equipment, or genetics. There are also educational opportunities whether that be better handling or feeding efficiency. There’s opportunity to learn how to better economically benefit your operation and improve your herd based on new genetics.” “It’s a one stop shop. People are there with the knowledge and experience to steer you in the right direction and share laughs along the way.”
