EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ABHA Members and Friends,
This time of year reminds me to pause and focus on the gratitude I have for the strength and unity of our Black Hereford community, and for each of you who contributes to the success of our association. We have 30 years of history to reflect on and be thankful for, along with hope and excitement for the next 30 years. I’m personally grateful for the opportunity to be part of this thriving and growing association.
The Association is only as strong as our breeders, and collectively, we have built a product that is at the top of the markets and performing well in many areas. Thank you for the intentionality, care and precision you have for your programs that leads to a successful outcome for you and for our Black Hereford reputation.
We could not be more excited about our episode featuring the American Black Hereford on the American Rancher on RFD-TV. I hope you have had the opportunity to watch it either on RFD-TV or through the episode link posted on our social media pages and website. The American Rancher is seen in 500,000 households weekly on average based on metro Neilson ratings, and the video hosted on YouTube has over 21,000 views to date.
The response has been phenomenal! Visits to our website, contact forms being filled out for more information, and members receiving calls from prospective buyers have gone way up.
We are also excited to announce the formation of the Black Hereford Foundation. This entity is a 501c3 non-profit organization formed to allow supporters to make tax-deductible donations to support Junior/youth scholarships, education and research opportunities. We believe the Black Hereford Foundation will provide additional opportunities for members and industry friends to help support our mission and future of the Association.
As we begin the new year, I am deeply thankful for the commitment and passion of our members, the energy surrounding the Black Hereford breed, and the collective efforts that make our association strong. It is through your hard work and dedication that we continue to grow and thrive!
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. Let’s continue to show the industry what the American Black Hereford has to offer.
Thank you for a great year at the ABHA. We wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year!
Ernie

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
What a great time to be in the cattle business. What a great time to be in America. Cattle are high and expected to get a lot higher. With higher calves, bull buyers will pay more for your bulls and make replacement heifers worth more. I went to another breed’s sale last week and watched their bulls average over $8k each and the commercial bred heifers bring over $4k. That is all good news for all of us and gives you all goals to look towards.
I want to congratulate Matt Marsh for retaining his place on the board and Dirck Hoagland for winning a seat on the board. I look forward to working with Dirck in the future. I believe he brings a lot of knowledge and experience to our board. Our goal as a board is to move the association forward, educate our members and give them the tools to do what they need to do to make their cattle more valuable.
I hope all of you have seen the episode of the American rancher about the ABHA. I truly believe it was a big success. I started getting calls within an hour after it aired. One of the calls was a rancher who has over 100 head of Herefords and just put Angus bulls on them last year because he was tired of getting docked for red calves and too hard to sell the red bulls. He did not realize there was a place to record those F1s. So, we picked up a new breeder there and many other calls followed with people wanting to join or looking for cattle within our breed.
I want to thank everyone who came to Kansas City and made the meeting, sale and show a success this year. It is always good to see the new faces and the ones you haven’t seen in a while.
As I travel to different sales, it makes me feel good to see the quality of our animals getting better all the time. The prices, too, keep getting a little better all the time. That means as a whole we are seeing the value of producing quality cattle.
I want to let everyone know that we are starting a Southern States Association to give a place for our breeders in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi to be a part of. I know many of you have received an email about this already. We should have all the details, and everything launched in the next few weeks. If you are interested in being a part of this, please get a hold of me or Carla Bacica. We hope to be able to help our members at a grassroots level and have help with state and local shows and put on a sale that gives ones in this area a place to market their top animals. We look forward to this and hope to hear from you that are interested in joining.
Happy New Year and may God Bless you and the ABHA.
ABHA PERFORMANCE BREEDERS
The ABHA maintains a list of Active Breeders and designates which breeders are Performance Breeders based on requirements listed in our association Rules & Regulations.
Performance Registry
This participation level is designed for breeders who are committed to performance testing their herds. Performance registry breeders are required to annually report birth weight and weaning weight information within the data guidelines (birth weight taken within 24 hours of birth, and a weaning weight taken between 160 and 250 days of age) on any animal with a completed transfer or registration on anu HB or HX. Breeders that submit data on at least two thirds [2/3] of the animals prior to the current year will receive the Performance Breeder designation.
Here is the list of Performance Breeders for the calendar year 2023. Congratulations to those members who met the requirements to receive their designation!

AN EXAMINATION OF MILK EPD
Dr. Wade Shafer, ASA EVP
The Milk EPD is used by many producers in selection and breeding decisions. How is the EPD calculated, and how accurate is it? High-producing cows don’t always possess a top-end Milk EPD, and the opposite scenario is sometimes true. Why? A cow’s milk production ability may be very different from the genes she possesses for the trait.
Over the last several years I have fielded too many calls to count from breeders feeling that Milk EPD do not do justice in gauging their herd’s genetic milking ability. Though you may not be one of the many breeders who have voiced reservations about Milk EPD to me directly, I suspect you may have had qualms with them from time to time. In talking with people of other breeds, this sentiment is not unique to Black Hereford breeders. Though many breeders may question the validity of milk EPD, they are without a doubt the best predictor we have of animals’ genetic level for milk. That said, when we scrutinize the situation, breeders’ skepticism about Milk EPD is understandable. In the following paragraphs I will explain why EPD gauge genetic level for milk as accurately as possible and offer up my opinions as to why breeders often question their validity.
Breeders seldom question Milk EPD on sires — rather, doubt tends to permeate when cows in their herd wean big calves yet have lower-percentile Milk EPD.
To understand a widely held belief, it usually helps to get at the root of it. What is at the core of breeders’ misgivings about Milk EPD? From my experience, breeders seldom question Milk EPD on sires — rather, doubt tends to permeate when cows in their herd wean big calves yet have lower-percentile Milk EPD. On the surface, their skepticism seems justified. It just seems logical that high-producing cows should have upperend Milk EPD. It turns out there are solid reasons why a top-producing cow does not necessarily possess genes for high levels of milk production — and, therefore, should not have high-level Milk EPD.
To gain some perspective, let’s take a look at factors affecting the measurement we use to gauge milking ability: weaning weights. Obviously, we do not have the latitude to measure milk directly, as does the dairy industry. Even if we could, the trait we are concerned with in the beef business is the pounds of weaned calf expected from a cow due to the genes she possesses for milk and mothering ability, which we can compute using weaning weights. From a cow’s genetic perspective, the weaning weight of her calf is affected by her own milk genes and half of her weaning weight genes (the calf carries half of her genes). This fact is the reason Maternal Weaning Weight EPD is calculated as Milk EPD+½ Weaning Weight EPD. Beyond that, there are non-genetic factors affecting the calf’s weaning weight, such as age of its dam, stocking rate, weather, creep feed, and many other non-genetic effects we are not able to distinguish.
Due to the myriad of factors affecting weaning weight, using actual and/or adjusted weaning weights and/or ratios will not serve us well in predicting an animal’s genetic value for milk production. One glaring shortcoming of these statistics is that they do not partition weaning weight into separate growth and milk components — an obvious requisite for assessing milk genetics. Beside that monumental failing, weights and ratios do little to nothing when it comes to sifting through the non-genetic influences on weaning weight, and they ignore information on relatives.
Because the methodology used to calculate EPD (Best Linear Unbiased Prediction or BLUP) allows us to parse weaning weight by the factors that impact it, EPD permits us to zero in on an animal’s genetics for milk, independent of all the other factors. This is accomplished by leveraging the sophisticated statistical techniques of BLUP on the 6 million+ weaning weights in our database. These features make EPD vastly superior to other methods of gauging milk genetics. After extolling the virtues of EPD, how is it that we can have cows that wean heavy calves with poor Milk EPD (and vice versa)? One obvious reason is that these cows may be weaning heavy calves via exceptional growth genes they pass to their calves. Just look through the ABHA’s database and you will find plenty of animals that have low Milk EPD but high Maternal Weaning Weight EPD due to their extreme growth. Remember, Maternal Weaning Weight EPD = Milk EPD+½ Weaning Weight. A typical retort to this assertion is “how could the calf express exceptional growth if the cow did not give loads of milk?” Though high levels of milk certainly help a calf express its growth potential, a calf gets a
significant amount of its nutrients from sources other than milk, particularly after the first few months. Another plausible cause for a heavy weaning calf out of a low Milk EPD cow is simply that she produced lots of milk. In these circumstances, our genetic evaluation is telling us that the reason for the souped-up milk production is likely non-genetic in nature. This is a big pill to swallow, as we tend to assume that a heavy milking cow must be genetically outstanding for milk production; however, since milk production is only low to moderately heritable we should not be surprised to have heavy milking cows that are below average genetically, and vice versa.
From a genetic evaluation standpoint, milk’s meager heritability means that it takes more data to move Milk EPD and improve accuracies than it does with more heritable traits.
From a genetic evaluation standpoint, milk’s meager heritability means that it takes more data to move Milk EPD and improve accuracies than it does with more heritable traits (e.g., growth and carcass). Since a cow is quite limited in the number of calves she can have naturally, unless she has numerous daughters (typically only possible for donor cows)
and they have many calves, or her sire or maternal grandsire change dramatically for milk, a colossal shift in her milk EPD from where she starts is not in the cards. A big jump in accuracy is just as unlikely. These limitations do not in any way imply fault with EPD; the limitations are simply a function of biology. Low heritability and small numbers of offspring are not conducive to accurate estimation. Always keep in mind, however, even though a cow’s Milk EPD may not be highly accurate, research has clearly shown that they are far and away the most accurate estimate of her genetic merit for milk.
In our population we have estimated the heritability of milk to be 16%. This means 84% (100% – 16%) of the differences in milk production between cows during a lactation are due to non-genetic factors — and that is after we remove differences due to age and contemporary group (i.e., herd, pasture). Given these circumstances, it is easy to see that a cow’s milk production ability may be very different from the genes she possesses for the trait.

ABHA DAMS OF SUPREMACY
To earn a Dam of Supremacy title, the cow must have:
1. Weaned a calf born since Jan. 1, prior to the qualifying year.
2. Produced at least 3 calves.
3. Initially calved at 30 months of age or less.
4. Had an interval between the first and second calves no greater than 400 days. In addition, a 385-day calving interval must have been maintained after her second calf. The longer initial calving interval allows breeders to calve year-old heifers prior to the mature cow herd.
5. Had weaning records submitted to the ABHA for every calf produced that was born eight months before the date of the award determination of the qualifying year.
6. Had 3-year progeny average 205-day adjusted weaning weight ratio of at least 105%.
7. All weights must fall within BIF guidelines.
