As collegiate athletes enter their respective sport’s draft, performance data is often a factor that coaches look at to decide which recruit will be the best match for the team.
In much the same way, EPDs can be helpful to beef producers in selecting the right sire for the herd, according to Dan Moser, Kansas State (K-State) University beef cattle geneticist and associate dean of academic programs for the College of Agriculture.
Moser was a guest on a recent “Cattle Chat” podcast episode that addressed a listener question about when to prioritize information from the EPD versus just looking at the individual data for a particular trait, such as weaning weight or yearling weight.
“If the individual animal’s data has been submitted to the breed association, then the EPD is always going to be more accurate than just the individual performance measure because more information is included in calculating the EPD,” Moser said. “The EPD calculation will also factor in pedigree information from the parents and siblings and in some cases, it will also include genomics (a DNA test that predicts the animal’s genetic traits).”
Moser said that even if the EPD has a low accuracy, the trait measurement is already included in the calculation, so producers can just use the EPD to gather information about that trait.
How EPDs are calculated varies among the cattle breeds, so Moser said producers need to look at the possible change table for each trait to see how much risk there will be with a particular level of accuracy.
“Even though the accuracies appear low, by looking at the possible change table, producers can calculate the amount of risk they want to take on for any given trait,” Moser said. “The accuracy is reflecting the information that is available at the time of calculation and the prediction may change as more information comes into the equation.”
An example of this is when the animal’s progeny’s performance data is added to the calculation, Moser said.
“While the genetics of the bulls don’t change over time, the EPDs change as more information about the bulls is added to the equation,” K-State veterinarian Brad White said.
Breeding decisions can have long-term effects on the herd, K-State veterinarian Bob Larson said.
“Take the time to look at the data, because the best cowherds are built with a lot of good decisions made year after year,” Larson said. “Just as in baseball, your goal is to win a lot of games, but that doesn’t mean you’ll hit a home run on every decision you make.”

Welcome to the Summer issue of the American Black Hereford! We just recently celebrated our 8th annual Junior National event in Cookeville, TN. The Junior Association board and Junior Committee put together a top notch event! It was a great time for fun, fellowship, and healthy competition. It was exciting to see both old and a lot of new faces. Let me say this, this junior’s group is stronger than ever and I’m confident we are in good hands going into the future. Thank you to all our generous sponsors, who once again, rose to the occasion and helped make our event a huge success! You’ll read more about this year’s Junior National event later in the magazine.
Like last year, 2024 has been a very, very strong year for the Association. Memberships, registrations, DNA and transfers are up. The overall positivity in the breed is at an all-time high. Sounds like I’m talking about the cattle market! In all seriousness though, I couldn’t be more proud of all the hard work that has been put in over the years by all our members, board members, service providers and staff to help us get to where we can celebrate our 30th anniversary this year with many more years to come.
The Board continues to look at programs and services we can provide to our members that will make an impact and bring value to our members and the Association. One program we have been running this summer is a cow “catch up” promotion. The idea is to give members an opportunity to get caught up on cows that were not registered as calves and avoid having to pay a higher fee to register them. We have seen a very positive response by our membership on this promotion, so we will be continuing it through the rest of the summer. This is for a limited time only, so if you have any cows that just got missed for whatever reason, now is the time to take advantage and get them registered!
We continue to look for ways to reduce costs for our members where possible. Discussions are taking place around DNA and how we can come up with options to help lower associated fees for testing. We are also exploring new avenues for breed promotion and reaching the broader commercial audience as well. I think our members will be very excited to see one opportunity we will be rolling out later this fall. If you want a sneak peak, I highly encourage you to attend our national event in Kansas City!
Don’t forget to take advantage of our Genomically Enhanced Female Project in collaboration with Neogen. Genomics enhances selection largely through enhanced accuracy of EPDs earlier in life. So, depending on the particular trait, getting a 100K test on your females, from an accuracy standpoint, can be the equivalent of that female having between 9-36 progeny. This project includes both heifers and mature cows. In order to take advantage of this opportunity to get a 100K test on your females for only $23 (normally $47), please contact the ABHA Service department at 816-431-6960 or service@blackhereford.org. This is a great opportunity for our members and for our association to continue adding more data to our EPD evaluations.
We have a lot to look forward to as we move into the second half of the calendar year. Our annual member meeting, A Royal Affair sale, and national shows in October at the American Royal in Kansas City are all right around the corner. I hope you will make plans to join us in Kansas City! It will be a great opportunity for you to meet other ABHA members, share best practices and learn more about how to take advantage of all the ABHA has to offer. The ABHA continues to grow and make positive strides for breed improvement. I tell people all the time what a wonderful opportunity there is to be part of a breed that can truly make an impact in the cattle industry and as a member, be part of shaping what this breed is all about. That’s the beauty of being part of the ABHA. If you can’t tell, I am excited about what the future holds for our breed!
Please reach out if you have any questions or ideas for how we can continue to make a positive impact for the breed and this industry. We are all in this together, we will continue to work together to keep the ABHA strong, and American Black Hereford proud.
Inputting performance data into Digital Beef is free, can be updated anytime, and helps to keep accurate records.
Members can order DB defect tests through the ABHA. The test can be ordered through Digital Beef and will cost $24.
ABHA Board elections will take place in September. There are two board seats up for election. A complete listing of candidate profiles will be available in August. Elections will be hosted on the Election Buddy platform again this year. A printable ballot will be available upon request.
All paid adult members will be required to vote for two candidates.
Looking for cattle to purchase or consign? Do not forget to check out our consignment sale list located at the top of the Digital Beef Cattle search screen Active breeders may use this tool at any time to consign or post cattle for sale as long as you have a login for Digital Beef.
All registrations and testing fees are billed through Digital Beef and should be paid on that platform.
Please make sure to update any change of address, phone numbers or e-mails with the ABHA by emailing us at service@blackhereford. org, or by logging into your online account in Digital Beef.
Any animal that has genomically enhanced EPDs will receive the ABHA GE-EPD logo on their profile in Digital Beef. As a reminder, it could take up to 2 weeks after the test results are banked in Digital Beef for the enhanced EPDs to be reflected and to see the logo on the animal’s profile.
Do you have an upcoming sale or event that needs to be listed on the ABHA event calendar? Send this info to ernie@blackhereford.org and we will add it to our upcoming events listing as well as on the ABHA website. This is a free service to our members.

Well, here we are in the middle of summer and temperatures are high here in the south. Fortunately, this year we have had some rain, so all is good. I know that many of you in the north are experiencing heavy rains and flooding. I hope all of you the best through these times.
I know this time of the year it seems like things slow down in the cattle business because there are not any sales or shows going on. But in reality, I’m not sure it ever slows down. Most of us have already got your first cutting of hay up and starting on a second or praying for a second. Some may be getting ready to chop silage, and the list goes on and on. One thing I have learned over the years is nobody is going to do it for you, so we often have to roll up our own sleeves and get the job done.
This year marks our 30th anniversary of the ABHA and I want to say I have been around a large part of that time, and I have seen the ups and downs, the good and the bad. I want to say a big thank you to the ones who have believed in the ABHA and the concept and the cattle. I know sometimes as breeders we may not agree on every issue at hand. I get asked all the time if I believe in the use of F be just a purebred breed, should we use straight Herefords, should we allow cattle in without white on their faces, and the list goes on and on. And as we grow, there will be more questions and hurdles to jump through.
As we celebrate 30 years, it has not come without a cost. I want to say thank you to Joe and Norma Hoagland for having a vision for the ABHA. I’m a firm believer in having a vision. Without one you will not go anywhere. But Joe and Norma had a vision for the ABHA and believed in the concept of the breed. Even when the cattle may not have been as good as they wanted them to be they still stuck to the plan. There were times they had to fund the program because the cost was higher than the income. But as time went on, memberships continued to grow, the cattle continued to get better, and registrations went up. As they say, the rest is history, and we are still here today. So, thank you guys!
Secondly, I want to thank all the past presidents and board members for all the hard work and time you have dedicated to our association. Without good leadership and guidance, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
Next and the most important is to the members. I want to say thank you for believing in the ABHA. There are over you could have chosen. But you chose the ABHA and many of you have seen good times and the bad and some have lived through a split, but in the end we all have come back to be one American Black Hereford Association. If it wasn’t for you as members we wouldn’t be here today. Thank you for believing in the breed and striving every day to make it better. Let’s continue to make the ABHA great and continue to thrive for another 30
Lastly, as I sit and write this, I see now more than ever our country needs our prayers. In Malachi 4:6 it says that God shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and hearts of the children to the fathers. We need to turn our hearts to God and change the course of our nation. As we have changed this Association into what it is today one member at a time, we can also change the direction of our county. No matter what side of the political aisle you sit on, we should all be proud to be an American.
May God Bless all of you and hope to see you in October in Kansas City!
The 8th annual ABHA Junior National event was held June 12-15 at the Hyder-Burks Agriculture Pavilion at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, TN, where 35 exhibitors from 13 different states exhibited 88 cattle entries. The Junior National event offered eight contests to equip junior members with tools they can use in the show ring as well as future career success. In addition to the contests, there were interviews for Scholarships, Queen, Princess, and Board of Directors candidates.
The event kicked off on Thursday morning with opening ceremonies AHBA Executive Vice President Ernie Dominguez, followed by an AJBHA Junior annual meeting, and an afternoon full of showmanship and fitting clinics. Friday was packed with contests including Individual Sales, Cattle Judging, Cattlemen’s Quiz, Team Fitting, Showmanship, and the Bred & Owned Show. The day was capped off with an awards banquet that recognized the winners from the contests, along with the announcement of our scholarship winners and the crowning of the ABHA Queen and Princess. During the banquet, an auction was held in conjunction with Sale Day containing items donated by ABHA members, and all of the proceeds went to support the association’s junior program.
At the Junior Annual Meeting, they elected new officers and new members to serve on the junior board of directors.
On Saturday, the Junior National event culminated with the Owned Cow/Calf, Heifer, Bull, and Steer shows.
The Junior Committee did a fantastic job planning the event this year. The ABHA and AJBHA would like to thank all of the breeders, members, parents, sponsors, and supporters that made this event possible. With your continued support, the ABHA will continue to host this wonderful event each year and provide valuable opportunities for AJBHA youth to connect with each other and secure the future of this amazing breed.
The AJBHA leadership team has hit the ground running to plan new opportunities for our youth and breeders. They are beyond grateful for all of the support that we have received, and they are excited to serve our members on a new level this year.
The ABHA would also like to thank all the members that attended and worked so hard while at the event to help make everything successful. A very special thank you goes out to the Tennessee Black Hereford Association and Tennessee Cattlemen’s Association, who provided meals and snacks for the juniors and their families during the entire event! The success of this event is a great testimony of ABHA members working together for one common purpose. These juniors are the future of our breed and as adult members, we should be very proud of the accomplishments that they have made.

Reproduction is the most important factor for earning profit in a cow/calf operation. Black Hereford cattle are proven to have higher conception rates, and added fertility.
The Black Hereford Female adds hardiness to the herd. In return, the commercial producer will keep less replacement females, earning more profit.
Due to their higher weaning weights and increased feed efficiency, the Black Hereford brings a higher rate of return in the feedlot.
