A great day for both sellers and buyer, “5 Liptor”, although walking away the reserve, came out on top as the highest selling Heifer. Congratulations to Bar Aj on a great sale as well as Steve DeClerk, buyer, on gaining a great Heifer. It was a great day for all in Southern Oregon!

CEO’s Comments

Building the Breed Andee Marston, Chief Executive Officer

Wild spring weather has not felt like much of Spring in our part of the world. Some cooler than normal temperatures and even a 3-4 inch snow on Easter is not what we were expecting. Not that it is unexpected to get a late cold snap and slow down the grass.

The spring bull sales have been fantastic. There seems to be several former Chiangus bull buyers coming back to add the extra heterosis and power they need. At the ACA, we are working diligently to help expand the Chianina bull market and looking at some research projects and breeder information to work on a new advertising campaign highlighting why and how Chianina cattle can increase their bottom lines. I feel very strongly that good data and information will be essential to gaining a larger market share of the commercial bull market. Hopefully we will have good news to share about this in the next couple of months.

If anyone has a bull they would like to see more calves on please let me know. We are currently working on a project to run some real world progeny testing trials. We need some good bulls that will perform both at the scales and in the feed yard. As we collect data we will share the results with the membership. All of the calves from the project will be ran through the ACA database and EPD’s will be significantly affected as the progeny are reported. Again if you are wanting to do some performance progeny testing please let me know.

With spring on the way we are just days away from the National Junior Heifer Show. By the time you read this the May 1 deadline will probably have already passed. I always look forward to seeing our kids participate in the NJHS. It was a major part of my life growing up and most years it was our family vacation. Reconnecting with friends that lived across the country was always good.

Many of my friends and business networking now is attributed to all those Junior National Shows I attended many years ago.

Many of you will be wrapping up the calving season shortly and getting ready to register calves this summer and fall. I want to encourage everyone to have their DNA testing done in preparation. It is a convenient time to collect DNA samples as we move cattle from calving pastures or lots to their summer grass. At the ACA we require DNA on all A.I. bulls and E.T. donor dams. Starting with bull calves born on or after January 1, 2017 we will also need to have DNA on file to register natural calves to that bull. On average we have found that across breeds 5-15% of the entries in the herd book are flawed. Most of the time it is an innocent mistake. The wrong straw of semen was used, a bull broke the fence or cows switched calves. Having a broader base to DNA calves back to will help correct these mistakes in the future.

Jennifer and Cheryl are always willing to go the extra mile to help you with any registration or transfer. If you need any help please call the office. Andrea has been diligently working on NJHS and we expect to have the best one yet. If you would like more information you can visit the website or call Andrea at the office. Andrea, Jennifer, Cheryl and myself are here to assist you. Please let us know what we can do to help.

2018 Intern Layna Bond

Layna Bond from Galatia, IL is a recent graduate, having received her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a minor in Agricultural Economics from Oklahoma State University. During her undergraduate career she attended Lakeland College where she received her Associates in Agriculture. While an undergrad she was a member of the livestock judging team at Lakeland College, as well as a member of the 2017 National Champion Livestock Judging Team at OSU. She spends her free time showing livestock as well as interning for numerous organizations such as the National Western Livestock Show, the National Junior Swine Association and the Oklahoma Youth Expo.

“I think having the opportunity to help behind the scenes makes a past showman appreciate the hard work and dedication that it takes to make a show run smoothly and efficiently,” Bond said.

Next fall Bond will be pursing her Masters education in Animal Breeding and Genetics at Kansas State University.

Bond is excited to intern for the National Junior Chianina Association and said, “They [the youth] play such a vital role in society, as they are our future. It is very important to give back to an industry that has given me so much.”

Spring Update Jessica Cheeseman

Here in Indiana, it has been a very cold and long winter. The below normal temps have overstayed their welcome and I wish Mother Nature would give us a break, especially since all of this cold/ snowy weather is during calving season. Spring has to be right around the corner…right?!?!

I hope everyone is making plans to attend the Junior Nationals in Grand Island, NE, June 17-23. The junior board has been working very hard to make this year a great success. Junior Nationals is a great place where you will meet many new faces and memories will be made that you will remember for the rest of your life.

The queen contest will be held at the Junior Nationals this year and will be announced during the show. Thank you to this year’s Queen, Laurel Culp, and Princess Cameron Choate, you have both represented our breed very well!

Scholarships will be awarded at the banquet in Hutchinson. If you will be a high school senior next year, applications are on the website at www.chicattle.org. It’s never too early to start working on this scholarship.

It’s a few months away, but it is time to start thinking about Louisville. We will have our annual luncheon/meeting, elect new board members and officers. As always we will have our Silent Auction, so start digging deep for great items to bring. Last year was a great success with so many items donated, lets make this year’s even bigger! All proceeds will go to help the queen and other activities throughout the year.

Hope to see everyone in Grand Island, NE this summer, and best of luck to all juniors!

Enjoy the experience

by Tyler Pinkerton

Growing up I always wanted to be on the Jr. Board, and the funny thing was, I never really knew anyone at Jr. Nationals before I got there. I always thought that it would be a great way to meet new people, but as it turns out, it is much more than that. It not only gives you the opportunity to make friends from across the country, but you get to help kids grow within the industry, and watch them grow from year to year. The ability to have an impact on kids across the nation, and also make friends with peers is really cool, and when you combine that with the cattle industry, it doesn’t get much better!

We’re almost there! School will be out for the summer before we know it, and Junior Nationals will be right around the corner. I know it is one of my favorite weeks of the year! Getting to catch up with friends who you don’t get to see too often is always great, and a little friendly competition never hurt anyone either. I hope everyone has a chance to snag some great food in Grand Island, and remember to bring your bathing suits because we will be heading to the water park! There might be a few water balloons along the way at some point too, but try to check out some of the contests while you’re there. They not only give you a chance to meet people, but also are a great opportunity to gain some public speaking and interpersonal experience. So, with that said, pack your bags, and get ready for the Grand Fiesta in Grand Island! Can’t wait to see you there!

40-YEAR MEMBER

40 Year Member - Ralph Danner Ralph Danner has shared his love and knowledge of the Chianina breed for the last 40+ years. Danner started out with a small angus heard, but then after experimenting with some half blooded Chianina cows, they decided to that this was the direction they wanted to go with their cattle. What prompted them to go this direction was that the Chianina breed was a more prolific, growthy and faster gaining in the cows and the feeder cattle.

Ralph’s involvement in the ACA started initially from just being a member. The Danner family has always been in the show stock world, but their involvement goes so much deeper than that. They started out with 6 cows, and as they grew, they noticed that the growth rate was much more desirable over the Angus calves that they had in the past. From there they purchased half blood Chi cows and loved the females. After that they bred them to full blood and purchased a bull that started the revolution. They kept back the daughters and later on bought a 3-quarter blood Chi bull in Denver at the National Western Stock Show. When they got to feeding they saw the carcass side was nothing less than impressive. The tenderness and leanness of the Chi cattle was very complete, and led to their continued usage of Chianina Genetics.

Ralph also mentions about the qualities in the Chianina that stand out to him the most. Danner says that the breed is exceptional in the area of growth and longevity. The Chianina breed also doesn’t face as many issues that you see more frequently in the Angus cows.

Danner enjoys many things about the ACA. The family involvement was one aspect that comes to mind when he thinks back. His four children grew up showing the cattle, which created lots of family bonding and instillied in them the work ethic that they still possess today.

The family involvement is still strong. Although some of the kids have grown up and are married and moved away, they still try to stay involved as much as possible. Ralph’s son AI’s about 200 of their heifers a year and they have a bred heifer sale every year during the Thanksgiving weekend.

Ralph’s advice for young people trying to get into the cattle industry is to not expect to get rich over nothing. If you want to trace your cattle, the Chi breed is the way to go. The investment is high and the risk return is low, but if you’re in it and you love it then you will be good to go. This is a great livelihood and is a great foundation for growing a family around as well.

PAGE 14 | CHIANINA JOURNAL | MAY/JUNE/JULY

40-YEAR MEMBER

40 Year Member - Myron Danner Myron Danner has been a part of the Chianina breed for as long as he can remember. Myron grew up in eastern Iowa but now lives in Burwell, Ne with his wife. Myron and his wife Kathy have always had a great passion for the Chianina breed which eventually led to two sons that also share the love for the breed as well.

The family got started involved with the Chianina breed because he was attracted to the modern look of the females in the Chi’s over the Angus breed. Myron and Kathy started out with about 30 cows and continued to grow their herd and involvement in the Association. Throughout their years, this has been a family owned business and today he still runs cows with his son as they continue to work together.

Danner recalls his start in the American Chianina Association when he traveled all over to judge shows like Denver, Houston and Louisville in the 80’s. Danner said that those were some of the best days he can recall. He loved being able to travel and be involved with the big shows while also getting to meet many people along the way. In 2005 Myron became a board member for the ACA and remained on it for 4 years.

Danner states that he enjoys a lot of things about the Chianina breed and the association, but one thing he really enjoys is the flexibility as a whole. He feels that the Chianina association gives breeders more flexibility. He enjoys open-mindedness of the association, which makes it fun.

The Chianina breed itself has many fond qualities, but Danner said the qualities that stand out to him the most in the cattle are the carcass traits and the desirable muscle patterns. He also had won the fed beef contest at the Denver Stock Show many times.

With over 40 years of wisdom under his belt, Danner explains that the best advice for young kids that want to start out in the business would be just to start somewhere and continue to work hard and grow it. He explains that feeding out your own cattle will help show you how well you did with your breeding and will help you to avoid the bad blood lines. Overall, feeding helps you see where you are so just paying attention to that will help you take off.

40-YEAR MEMBER

40 Year Member - Michael Myers 4-H involvement prompted an early start in the cattle industry for Michael Myers, and as he prepared to graduate from the program, he realized the value of Chianina cattle. He especially noted the accumulating interest and decided to pursue the development of his own herd.

For 5 years he ran a custom fitting service, through which he was able to meet more great people at state fairs, the North American International Livestock Exposition, National Western Stock Show and the Fort Worth Stock show. In particular, he recalls Winford Brown and Everett Tom. Later on, his own daughters were able to be involved in 4-H with the Chianina herd that he started. In 1991, his daughter exhibited the champion cow/calf pair at the NAILE, and they hardly missed a show after that. He mentions earning titles at the Indiana state Fair as well.

After his daughter’s junior show career concluded, he maintained his involvement with the breed because of the people in the association. Over the years, his operation evolved into raising club calves with Chianina influence. He is able to maintain this operation through the utilization of embryo work and hiring people to help with this process.

He is excited for the future and cannot wait for his granddaughter to start showing. He particularly notes that he is proud of the ability to raise the quality of cattle that can compete at shows and is excited to continue building his legacy.

Cattle are still available privately and online through both a Willoughby and SC Online sale in partnership with Blackford Show Cattle.

Lastly, Myers mentions how big of an honor and privilege it is to be recognized by the American Chianina Association, and enjoys the connection and friendships he has been able to build with fellow breeders.

40-YEAR MEMBER

40 Year Member - Bob May

What promoted Bob May to start raising Chianina cattle was his appreciation for their incredible phenotype, extra body and growth potential. Throughout his involvement in the association Bob was not only a member but was becoming a popular face amongst the show circuit. In the later 1970s May was working for Black Champ Enterprises in Waxahachie, Texas. There a bull named Nero, a full blood Chianina, put him on the map. A few years later a bull named Sugar Ray, who was out of Nero, became popular. With sales and sires, this lead to May’s interest in show steers for about a decade.

When asked what May thought the best qualities of Chianina cattle were he replies “the big misconception is that they have beautiful udders (rate of gain on calves) and built for longevity”.

May paved his way to his operation in 1975 when he was in Denver and attended the Chianina sale. He saw how successful the sale was and the turnout of people and that prompted him to buy Chianina bulls. In 1976 May had a pair of bull calves that he fit for the national show and ended up division champions.

The Chianina Association has always had a strong junior presence nationwide “the outstanding youth program and all the many opportunities and events for the youth to be involved in is a great way to raise kids” is what May enjoys most about the ACA. Sometimes slow and steady wins the race. May advises young producers that are starting off in the cattle industry to appreciate the value of a dollar and that its ok to not be “booming” right out of the gate. Putting together a good cow herd, building relationships and knowing what you want and what works is just some words of advice. “It’s important to look around to find the right cattle and put a cow herd together, buying from the right people and to build a strong genetic base”.

PRODUCTION ARTICLE

Adequate Nutrition Vital for Lactating Cows NDSU Extension

Ensuring that cows receive adequate nutrition after calving is critical.

“The first 60 to 90 days post-calving is the most nutritionally demanding period in the production cycle of a cow and arguably one of the most important in achieving production goals,” says Janna Kincheloe, the North Dakota State University Extension Service’s livestock systems specialist at the Hettinger Research Extension Center.

Peak milk production typically occurs about 60 days after calving in mature cows and requirements are highest at this time.

Nutritional stress caused by calving and/or lactation can have a substantial impact on productivity.

A cow uses the total nutrients (water, energy, protein, vitamins and minerals) it consumes each day based on these biological priorities: maintenance, growth, lactation and reproduction.

Because reproduction is lowest on the priority list, it is one of the first factors affected if nutrition is inadequate between calving and breeding.

Research indicates that pregnancy rates will be reduced when cows have body condition scores of less than 5 at calving and breeding. This is particularly true for high-producing cows and 2and 3-year-olds that still have requirements for growth.

“A reasonable estimate of milking ability is necessary to ensure that available feed resources can support the cow herd,” Kincheloe says. “If milk production is too high for a given environment, negative impacts on cow performance and calf weaning weight will reduce profit potential.”

Expected progeny differences (EPDs) for maternal milk production, as reported by breed associations, are expressed as differences in pounds of calf weaned due to milk production of the dam. The livestock industry has seen a strong genetic trend of increased milk production in nearly all beef cattle breeds during the past 20 years, with the average commercial cow estimated to produce about 25 pounds of milk each day during peak lactation.

While directly measuring milk production in a range or pasture is challenging, producers can use calf weaning weight records as an indirect estimate. Kincheloe suggests producers keep in mind that environmental conditions and other genetic traits such as growth potential also impact weaning weights.

Understanding how nutrient requirements of beef cows vary based PAGE 18 | CHIANINA JOURNAL | MAY/JUNE/JULY

on weight and stage of production is important. For example, a 1,200-pound cow at peak milk production of 20 pounds two months after calving requires about 3 pounds of crude protein a day, while the same cow producing 30 pounds of milk requires nearly 3.75 pounds of crude protein a day.

The timing of calving, age of the dam, and forage quality and availability will determine the most appropriate feeding strategy.

Native range generally can meet lactating cows’ nutrient requirements in the northern Great Plains during peak forage production in late May and early June, Kincheloe says. However, cows that have calved prior to the first part of April will reach peak milk production before most forage species will be able to provide necessary nutrients.

In addition, turning cows out to pasture too early will reduce forage health and production, as well as animal performance.

Therefore, producers often need to supply higher-quality forages and/or supplements in early spring to support cows’ increased requirements during lactation.

A variety of protein and energy supplements are available to help fill nutritional gaps from forage. Kincheloe recommends supplements containing at least 20 percent protein when feeding low-quality forage (7 percent or less crude protein). These supplements include feeds such as alfalfa hay, soybean meal, commercial supplements and distillers grains.

The appropriate supplement for a given situation should be evaluated based on nutrient content of the basal diet, as well as price and availability of the supplement. The NDSU Extension publication “Comparing Value of Feedstuffs,” available at http:// tinyurl.com/ComparingFeedstuffs, can help producers compare supplements on a cost per pound of nutrient basis.

“Supplying adequate nutrition for lactating cows is extremely critical in ensuring production goals are met,” Kincheloe says.

“It is important to develop rations that can economically meet this challenge, particularly when feed prices are high. Producers should keep a close eye on milk production to minimize feed costs and ensure a good match between their environment and the genetic base of the cow herd.”

For assistance with choosing supplements or balancing a ration, contact your local NDSU Extension Service office or an Extension livestock specialist (https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/ extension/directory).

GENETIC EVALUATION

Multi-breed Genetic Evaluation powered by BOLT Are the New BOLT-Derived EPDs More Accurate Than Previous Cornell EPDs?

By Mahdi Saatchi, Rohan L. Fernando, Lauren Hyde, Jackie Atkins, Steve McGuire, Wade Shafer, Matt L. Spangler, and Bruce Golden, IGS Genetic Evaluation Team and Consultants

The ASA and International Genetic Solution (IGS) partners invested in a new and improved genetic evaluation software called BOLT to replace the Cornell EPD evaluation system. Among other benefits, this enables the use of Single-step methods for incorporating genomic information into the National Cattle Evaluation instead of the blending approach. In the Singlestep process, the DNA marker genotypes are directly incorporated into the genetic evaluation along with the phenotypes (performance data) and the pedigree. As a result, the genomic data has an impact not only on the genotyped individual, but also on all the relatives of that genotyped individual. This allows for the genomic information to improve the accuracy of non-genotyped relatives.

The Multi-breed Genectic Evaluation powered by BOLT squeezes more information from the DNA markers by allowing for certain DNA markers to have a larger influence on predicting the genetic merit of an animal than other DNA markers while some DNA markers to have no effects on trait(s) of interest. This model is closer to what we expect based on biology where some parts of an animal’s genome (or genes) play more important roles than other parts of its genome (or genes). This is unique to the IGS Single-step method compared to other organizations where the DNA marker information is used to adjust relationships among the individuals.

Are the BOLT EPDs more accurate than the Cornell derived EPDs in the real world? To answer this question, we performed a validation study where we ran a data set (pedigree, performance, genomics) through both genetic evaluation software (BOLT and Cornell) to compare the accuracies of the EPDs produced. To enable a fair comparison, we removed the performance records of animals born in 2015 and later from the evaluation in both systems to be used as progeny performance records for validation purposes. Table 1 shows the correlations between EPDs and progeny performance of non-genotyped sires evaluated in both systems that have progeny born in 2015 or later with recorded birth, weaning, and yearling weights. As shown, the BOLT EPDs are more accurate than Cornell EPDs as the correlations are higher for BOLT EPDs with sires’ progeny performances.

To have a better sense of improvement in accuracies, we ranked sires based on either BOLT or Cornell EPDs for birth, weaning and yearling weights. Then, we compared the progeny performance of the top 1% vs bottom 1% ranked sires for each trait in each evaluation system. The results are shown in Table 2.

As you can see, the BOLT EPDs ranked sires more accurately than EPDs from the Cornell software, where progenies of top 1% ranked sires based on the BOLT EPDs are +3.1, +16.8 and +40.2 lb heavier at birth, weaning and yearling. These results are exciting, and show that our investment in new technology will lead to more accurate EPDs.

ALL-AMERICANS

2017-2018 All Americans Every summer the ACA recognizes the Top AllAmerican’s show animals for the year. The show season takes place from May 1 to April 30 every year. To qualify you must attend a minimum of three shows. We then use the five highest scores to tabulate the results. Between the Chianina divisions and Chiangus divisions we will award 24 division winners. Females divisions are as follows; Division 1 – April 1, 2017 to May 31, 2017; Division 2 – January 1, 2017 to March 31, 2017; Division 3 – September 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016; Division 4 – May 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016; Division 5 – January 1, 2016 to April 30, 2016; Division 6- September 1, 2015 to December 31,2015. All the bull divisions are the same except for Division 6 – January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.

The following point scale is used for every show: 50 points to Grand Champion; 30 points to Reserve Grand Champion; 20 points for division winners and 10 points for reserve division winners. Each class winner points are based on the number of head in each class. Shows are weighted based on the total number of head shown. 1x shows less than 20 head; 2x shows 20-39 head; 3x shows 40-59 head; 4x shows 60-79 head and 5x shows 80 or more head.

This year the following shows reported the results: North American Livestock Expo, National Western Stock Show, Fort Worth Stock Show, Tennessee State Fair, Kentucky State Fair, South Dakota State Fair, Ohio State Fair, Indiana State Fair, Ohio State Fair, Indiana Chianina Show.

BOARD MINUTES

Old Business: The following changes were made to the ACA Rules of Registration previously, but have not been published in the minutes or updated in the Rules. The following three changes will be made: ACA Bylaws Policy Update: Delete Rule VI.A.9. The ACA has taken the position that each cell-clone will be the determinant of its own EPD as computed through the performance records of offspring.

Add Rule VIII.A.2. All ACA registered AI sires will be required to be tested for genetic abnormalities recognized as monitor status by the ACA based on breed make up before calves will be registered in herds outside that of the current owner, unless they are Expected Free by Pedigree. If the AI Sire is not a registered ACA sire but is registered with another association, the sire’s status for breed relevant genetic abnormalities must be known per their breed makeup. If AI sire is “commercial,” it must be tested for all genetic abnormalities the ACA monitors.

Add Rule VII.A.3. Embryo donor dams currently registered in the ACA herd book will only be required to be tested for genetic abnormalities of which they have been identified as being a suspect.

Donor dams registered with another association must meet those association’s requirements. Unregistered (Commercial) donor dams must be tested for all genetic abnormalities regardless of breed makeup.

Michel moved that Marston provide $5,000 in support of the Chianina Beef Project. Seconded by Schrick. Motion carried.

We need to identify producers and consumers who have a story to tell and capture their stories.

Revisiting the NWSS Pen Show and Open Hill Show: We had one pen exhibited at the 2017 NWSS. Erin Dorsey has communicated with Marston that a minimum number of pens will be established for 2018. She provided an option of holding an Open Chianina Show on the Hill. We could also hold an auction in the Sale Ring on the Hill on Saturday morning at 11:30 AGI vs. IGS: Marston posed the question as to whether the ACA wanted AAA to calculate our EPDs. If AAA would calculate our EPDs, they would run that calculation on a separate basis from Angus. Angus will have three sections for their EPD runs: a.

Angus cattle only b.

Commercial Angus and multi-breed c.

Completely independent (Charolais) AGI will cost significantly more than will IGS (approximately $7500 versus $4500, annually).

Winegardner moved that registration certificates will be printed in two colors: green for Chiangus and Red Chiangus; blue for Chianina. With the exception of Chiangus and Red Chiangus, purebreds and Italian fullbloods, all other composites will be printed on blue certificates with the designation “Chianina” printed at the top of the certificate. However, the composite code (CM, CF) will still be printed on the appropriate pedigree. Seconded by Michel. Motion carried.

The advantages of IGS include operating on the same system as 10 other breeds (Simmental, Limousin, Gelbvieh, Shorthorn, etc.) and being research driven with a stronger science backing. Conversely, an AGI run would likely result in slightly higher EPDs. The AMAA is transitioning to AGI.

Hunter moved that we adjourn for the evening, seconded by Sheets. Motion carried.

Steer Feedout Challenge: Marston briefed the board on the steer feedout challenge and distributed a handout entitled “2017 Chianina Advantage Steer Profitability Challenge.”

Wayne and Jill Miller hosted the Board for dinner in their home, serving Talmo filets with all of the trimmings and their house beverage of choice.

The meeting was reconvened by Chairman Shields on Friday, March 24, 2017 at 9: 13 am Joining the meeting on conference call were board members Holt and Schaefer and former board member Brad Stoppel. Stoppel spent 25 minutes updating the board on the Chianina Beef Project.

Marston distributed a white paper, authored by Gary Fike, on Branded Beef and Small Market Programs.

Stoppel requested that the ACA allocate $5,000 to research the project at Kansas State University. Stoppel left the call at 9:44 am

Chairman Shields asked Marston for his recommendation. Marston recommends remaining with IGS for the time being.

Champion Steer Payout: Marston discussed the option of incentivizing steer shows by providing financial rewards to the Grand and/or Reserve Grand Champion Steers, who were registered with the ACA prior to the show entry deadline, and who are owned and exhibited by junior members of the ACA. Prize money would be divided between the exhibitor and the breeder. There would be a tiered level; national shows, state fairs, expos, etc. The fee for steer registrations would be increased to fund the program.

The Show and Sale Committee will work with Marston to develop a proposal. Culp will be added to the Show and Sale Committee.

ACA Foundation Board of Directors’ Meeting

November 13, 2017 President Shields called the meeting to order at 2:12 p.m.

Those present include Jessica Cheesman, Ken Culp, III, John Higgins, Andee Marston, and Val Shields.

Marston counseled with the ACA attorney who advised that the Foundation funds could be redirected into the ACA General Fund; providing that those funds be earmarked for the specific purposes outlined in the Foundation’s charter.

The official paperwork to create a 501(c)3 has been filed; however, the by-laws have not. The original purposes include youth development, education, promotion and marketing, and research. Redirecting Foundation funds to the ACA, used specifically for these purposes, is legal.

Contributions may be made to the ACA and still be legally deductible as charitable contributions.

Cheeseman inquired as to whether the $5K contribution made by the Auxiliary could be returned to them to be used for advanced degrees (Masters and Doctoral.) Higgins suggested that an easier alternative would be for the ACA to create a scholarship account to be used for that purpose.

Marston moved to dissolve the ACA Foundation, and appropriate the entire account into the ACA, into a newly formed “Foundation Account.” Seconded by Cheeseman. Higgins moved to amend the motion by adding “the funds will be used for the same purposes as identified in the ACA Foundation’s charter.” Seconded by Marston.

Amendment carried.

Culp called for the question on the motion as amended. Motion carried unanimously.

The five current Foundation Board members will constitute the new Foundation Committee in the ACA. The Treasurer will also be added as the sixth committee member.

demand for the “high-end” cuts of Chianina beef is very high.

However, the demand for the “low-end” cuts is not as desirable, making it very difficult to sell the entire carcass to one customer that doesn’t have multiple markets. B. Stoppel believes it will take significant capital investment to fund the start of the program in its current state. Chairmen Culp suggested that Michel and himself be added to the Chianina Beef committee. The board agreed. The committee will gather more information and give an updated proposal at the summer meeting as how to proceed forward.
