/ April 2012

Congratulations, Hereford breeders, for what continues to be a record-setting bull sale season. Had it not been for the serious drought conditions in the Southwest that have substantially shrunk the cow herd in the state of Texas, these prices might even be higher than what we are witnessing. The resurgence in the Hereford breed, coupled with record high calf prices, has obviously generated enthusiasm for many of you Hereford breeders as well. We have witnessed an amazing investment in herd bulls this spring, and it is thrilling to see the excitement and capital investment that is being spent on genetics. With all of the good that is occurring in the marketplace, I would like to offer a word of caution. My message is simple — the Hereford breed must work diligently to prevent this trend from becoming a fad. A fad is defined as “a craze or an intense but short-lived interest or a period of time of exaggerated zeal.” The results of this most recent sale season are certainly not an overnight fad. This trend has been incubating and growing over the last several years. The economic advantages of crossbreeding and the value of baldie cattle have a great deal of scientific merit. Science backs up the investment that is taking place in the Hereford breed. However, as producers of a breed of cattle, we must not step on our toes at this critical time and lower our standards of quality. If we compromise quality, then history tells us that this trend will become a fad.

We have documented the fact that commercial cattlemen are coming back to Hereford bulls in great numbers. Many of the younger generation of buyers have not purchased a Hereford bull in their lifetimes, while for others it has been a decade or two since Hereford has been a part of their breeding programs.

Disposition, structural soundness Hybrid vigor is the big reason they are coming back to Hereford, but there are other reasons as well. Disposition and functional structure are other reasons why they are coming back to Hereford bulls. Why, because cattle temperament and longevity have tremendous value in the business. These are two selection criteria that do not show up in your menu of expected progeny differences (EPDs), but their importance to the business is as valuable as a “super star” panel of balanced EPDs. Identification of disposition outliers is just plain common sense, and you just know which cows you can and cannot trust when your grandkids are in the pen. However, structural soundness requires some experience and knowledge. It is more subjective. Just because an animal can walk doesn’t mean it has the structure to hold up to years of harsh environment. Furthermore, structural soundness, or the lack thereof, can erase any advantages of hybrid vigor in a crossbreeding program by cutting potential years of production short. Structural

soundness has been one of the key principles for animal selection for centuries whether it’s selecting the elite herd bull or the race horse that can hold up on the track. In modern day sports medicine, skeletal structure and form play a major part in defining athleticism. Hereford seedstock that make the cut should be considered athletes. Defining what the structural correctness of an athlete should be takes some training and understanding of live animal evaluation and anatomy. If you feel uncomfortable with evaluating structure in cattle, I suggest that you contact your American Hereford Association (AHA) regional field representative, a local beef cattle specialist trained in live cattle evaluation, a local judging team coach or a fellow breeder who has a good understanding of soundness in livestock. All of our AHA regional field reps have a tremendous understanding of what the good ones should look like, and they can help you to identify problems that you might have in your herd. Every person can learn something in this business. Please, don’t be afraid to ask others what they know about live cattle evaluation if this is an area you feel a bit uncomfortable with. There is no shame in wanting to become more knowledgeable. Your knowledge will be important in maintaining Hereford market-share growth into the future. HW www.hereford.org

Hi, I’m Lance Ellsworth at Cattle Visions. We are celebrating our 10th anniversary this year. We are fairly new to marketing semen on Hereford bulls, but we dominate every other breed for quality. My family shows cattle, we raise cattle and we live in southeast Wisconsin in pretty solid Hereford country. Our warehouse is just north of Columbia, Missouri. I realize Hereford cattle are major players in the beef industry and we want to further develop Hereford genetics. We have over 200 sales reps round the country and we offer convenient, direct or online ordering too. Please visit our website.

CHB Grill-Off Looking for Enthusiastic Participation Two of Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC’s stellar programs happen with dedicated participation from National Hereford Women (NHW). The Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) Great American Hereford Grill-off competition and the CHB Ambassador program showcase the best of what the Hereford breed has to offer. The grill-off is sponsored jointly by NHW, CHB LLC and the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA).

Get creative with the grill-off For those chefs and chef wannabes, the grill-off is a go-all-out annual experience every year at the JNHE. Creativity, both in presentation and cooking, can earn high marks for the competitors this year in Grand Island, Neb. The contest is educational, competitive and, most of all, fun. Like showing cattle, the grill-off encourages a cooperative spirit among junior members.

National Hereford Women OFFICERS AND COMMITTEE CHAIRS President – Mary Ann Berg, Dalton, Ohio President elect – Denise Billman, Newcomerstown, Ohio Vice president – Gay Maddox, Zionsville, Ind. Secretary – Ann Guess, Jayton, Texas Treasurer – Shellie Collins, Chattanooga, Okla. Parliamentarian – Jill Bielema, Ada, Mich. Historian – Jeanine Radel, Spring Green, Wis.

“We hope the grill-off is a fun way for kids to get their creative juices flowing at the grill as well as with a skit,” says Ann Guess, chair of the grill-off committee and NHW board member. “We want them to know about CHB® and beef, in general, as our tasty, tender beef is one of the great selling points Hereford cattle have. We have also included food safety as it applies to daily food preparation and how cooking rules for beef vary from other meats.” With the contest’s mission to promote the Hereford breed’s end product — Certified Hereford Beef — each state may enter as many teams and/or individuals as they wish. Juniors must be 8 to 21 years of age. Teams may consist of two to six members with each state designating one adult to serve as a safety supervisor. Juniors from states not having enough members to form a team may register with the grill-off officials at the NJHA by June 1 to join a cooperative, multi-state team. “By allowing as many individual or team entries a state would like, everyone who is interested gets the chance to participate,” Guess says. CHB beef is provided for contestants, but contestants for each entry must provide their own grill, ingredients, spices and preparation utensils. The creativity kicks into overdrive when the entrants prepare a skit, choose a theme, dress accordingly, bring energetic music and present their entrée appropriate to the theme. “My favorite grill-off memories are seeing the creativity and fun the kids have had with their presentations,” Guess says. “We have seen everything from baseball to aliens and diners to drive-ins, all teaching about CHB.” Awards for both divisions are presented: $100, first place; $75, second place; and $50, third place. Winning recipes and photos will be posted on HerefordBeef.net. Talk with

your junior advisor regarding entry deadlines. Grill-off applications are available at JrHereford.org. “Be sure to read and follow the rules,” Guess advises. “Make sure you allow plenty of time to have your dish ready on time, and don’t forget that each member will participate in a speaking part in the skit as well as in the questioning portion. Remember, you only have to present the entrée — no sides.”

CHB wants you So many Hereford breeders are excellent spokespeople for CHB, especially in their communities and within cattle circles. How about taking that passion on the road as a CHB ambassador? The public needs and wants us to represent our product honestly and in an engaging format. Ambassadors travel nationwide and promote CHB as a healthy protein choice. They stage promotional events at groceries, markets and informational venues while working alongside producers and CHB staff. Wonderful aromas will draw shoppers to your table when you prepare beef recipes featuring CHB products. Think of possibly stepping beyond your comfort zone by getting to see new sites and making new friends while showcasing the best meat available! “I have been privileged, as an ambassador, to promote CHB across the country to consumers overwhelmed with its great taste,” says Mary Ann Berg, CHB ambassador and president of NHW. “It has truly been a once-in-alifetime experience for me.” If you are looking to try something new or think serving as a CHB ambassador is the way you’d like to become more involved in NHW, contact Mary Ann Berg for an application. She can be reached at 330-466-2640 or maryannberg2003@yahoo.com. HW www.hereford.org

Merchants Foodservice reaches CHB millionpound mark Last fall, Merchant Foodservice – Jackson Division, a division of The Merchants Co., was presented with the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) million-pound achievement from the CHB LLC. Alex Tinkle, Merchants Foodservice center of plate manager, says Merchants Foodservice chose CHB for its consistent quality. “I was the executive chef at a highend, white tablecloth restaurant, where we served CHB for many years,” he says. “You know what the product will do every day. You know the quality it will possess.” Tinkle says Merchants’ customers are pleased with the quality of the CHB product. “They love it,” he says. “If you get them on it, they’ll never quit. In fact, every high-end steakhouse and restaurant we serve uses the Certified Hereford Beef program, and most have been on it for years.” When it comes to consistency, Tinkle says, CHB is unmatched. “We sell Certified Hereford Beef on its consistency,” he says. “It’s the same every day, week and month of the year.” Merchants Foodservice, headquartered in Hattiesburg, Miss., serves more than 6,000 restaurants, hospitals, schools and institutions. Merchants Foodservice operates distribution and warehousing centers in Jackson, Miss.; Clanton, Ala.; Newberry, S.C.; and Tifton, Ga. The Andy Mercier (left), Merchants Foodservice CEO; Alex Tinkle (second from left), Merchants Foodservice center of plate manager; Tim Hanberry (second from right), Merchants Foodservice director of purchasing; and Johnny Barlow (right), Merchants Foodservice vice president, receive the Certified Hereford Beef® million-pound award from Mick Welch (center), CHB LLC vice president of food service.

company employs more than 500 people and operates a fleet of 200 vehicles, including 140 multi-temp delivery trailers.

FoodPRO reaches CHB million-pound mark FoodPRO, Frederick, Md., has earned the CHB million-pound achievement from CHB LLC. The award was presented at Dutch’s Daughter in Frederick, a FoodPRO customer that features CHB on its menu. FoodPRO President of Purchasing Rocky Rinehart says FoodPRO has been a CHB distributor for six years. FoodPRO selected CHB, he says, as an alternative to other branded beef programs. “We decided to look at the Certified Hereford Beef program because we were looking for a highquality beef option in response to all of the publicity of Angus programs,” he says. “We felt that Angus had been overplayed in the market. After all, you can get Angus beef at McDonald’s and Burger King, so how exclusive can it be?”

FoodPRO clients are pleased with the consistent quality of CHB, Rinehart says. And they utilize that quality product in a variety of ways. “One of our best customers features Certified Hereford Beef prime rib and New York strip steaks on their menu,” Rinehart says. “This customer also exclusively uses Certified Hereford Beef tenderloins, even using the trim from those on their locally famous steak and cheese sub. We have other customers that will only use CHB grinds for all of their burgers. Burgers are such a mainstream item, and smart operators realize this is an area in which they can see a good profit margin, if they offer a premium product. We also have a large customer that uses CHB briskets in his barbeque operation. He has just opened a third location, and he will only use Certified Hereford Beef product for his beloved smoked brisket.” Despite the current economic situation, FoodPRO’s clients who utilize CHB experience great success and satisfaction. Rinehart says this is a testament to the quality of the product. “Many customers are continually shopping items on price, but smart and successful foodservice customers understand the real value of a product comes from its ability to bring diners and their friends back to their restaurants,” Rinehart says. FoodPRO has been a wholesale supplier and food-service distributor of fresh-cut steaks, fish and produce, in addition to non-perishable groceries and foodservice supplies, for more than 70 years.

DAMS

Dams of Distinction

OF DISTINCTION

2,285 Dams of Distinction Honored

The Dams of Distinction program recognizes superior cows in the breed and the cattle producers who manage them based on data submitted to the American Hereford Association (AHA). Efficient, fertile and productive females are the foundation of the most successful cow herds. To be honored as a 2011 Dam of Distinction, a cow must have: 1) Weaned a calf born since Jan. 1, 2010. 2) Produced at least three calves. 3) Initially calved at 30 months of age or less. 4) Had an interval between the first and second calves of no greater than 400 days. In addition, a 370-day calving interval must have been maintained after her second calf. The longer initial calving interval allows breeders to calve 2-year-old heifers prior to the mature cow herd. 5) Had weaning records submitted to the AHA Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) Program for every calf produced that was born before June 30, 2011. 6) Had a progeny average 205-day adjusted weaning weight ratio of at least 105. A cow receiving the Dam of Distinction honor is a cow that meets the highest standards of commercial cattle production. The cow must do her job, but also her owner must manage the herd correctly to give her the opportunity to excel. Only a few active cows are recognized. All heifers have the potential to be a Dam of Distinction, but only a small percentage fit the job description of an ideal cow year in and year out. For more information about the Dams of Distinction Program, visit Hereford.org, click on “Records/TPR” and select “Recognition Programs.” Females attaining the Dam of Distinction status are recognized with “DOD” after their names on the AHA Web site, Hereford.org. The 2011 Dams of Distinction list recognizes 2,285 Hereford cows from 707 Hereford performance herds in 44 different states. For 31 years Rausch Herefords, Hoven, S.D., has led Hereford breeders with the most cows qualifying as Dams of Distinction. With 368 cows recognized, South Dakota is the top state again this year. A list of the top 20 states, top 20 breeders and breeders who have females recognized follows.

Sires of Distinction

90 Bulls Recognized as Sires of Distinction The Sires of Distinction program recognizes superior Hereford bulls. The American Hereford Association Board of Directors initiated the program in August 2007 to recognize Hereford bulls that sire efficient, fertile and productive females. To be honored as a Sire of Distinction a bull must have produced daughters that have received at least seven Dams of Distinction awards. See Page 28 for the criteria a cow must meet to be recognized as a Dam of Distinction or visit Hereford.org and click “Records/ TPR” and select “Recognition Programs.” Bulls attaining the Sire of Distinction status are recognized with “SOD” after their names when doing an animal or EPD inquiry on Hereford.org.

LARGE or small,

It Works Well for All BuyHereford.com is proving to be an effective marketing tool for Hereford breeders — large and small, alike. by Christy Couch Lee

I

t’s a fact. Producers of different sizes and scopes face different marketing needs and challenges. The larger producer may need an outlet for a heifer or bull or for an embryo or semen package that doesn’t fit within his production sale. And, the smaller producer may seek an opportunity to offer his or her genetics to a wider audience. Perhaps it comes as a surprise that the American Hereford Association (AHA) offers a tool to assist with the marketing needs of all Hereford breeders — BuyHereford.com. BuyHereford.com features monthly consignment sales, in which breeders can consign cattle and cattle-related items. In addition, breeders have the option of hosting private online sales through the site.

Just the facts Monthly BuyHereford.com consignment sales are held the last Tuesday of each month, with the exception of some summer months. The deadline for each sale is two weeks prior. Listing an animal costs $50 with a photo and $75 with a photo and video. The commission for each animal or item sold is 8%. However, if the minimum is not met, no additional fee is charged. New this year, bidding will begin at the consignor’s floor price. Bids will no longer be accepted below the floor price. Individual production sales can be negotiated by contacting Dennis Schock at 903-815-2004 or dschock@hereford.org.

/ April 2012

“In my mind, BuyHereford.com is a marketing tool for Hereford breeders to reach out to some potential customers they may not reach otherwise,” says Dennis Schock, BuyHereford.com manager. “Breeders can list anything — embryos, semen, registered females and bulls, show heifer prospects, steers and commercial cattle. They can even list equipment.” The process for consigning or buying is simple. And Hereford breeders who have utilized the service are finding great success.

Advantages for all Schock says BuyHereford.com can benefit Hereford breeders of all sizes. “Anyone who raises Hereford cattle can benefit,” Schock says. “I see the biggest potential for breeders who don’t have enough cattle to host their own production sale. Breeders who have two to four animals to sell each year can market these animals without an extreme cost and reach a nationwide audience.” Amy Phillips, Richmond, Mo., is one such breeder. She manages 15 cows on her grandparents’ farm while working for Roth Hereford Farm in Windsor, Mo. Her primary focus is show heifer and bull production. Recently, she began embryo transfer work on her herd, placing embryos into her grandfather’s commercial cows and cooperator herds. She began using BuyHereford.com in the fall of 2010 by listing one heifer in the monthly consignment sale. Since then, she has sold two heifers, two embryo packages and a bull on

the site. In addition, she says, she checks the sale listings each month to potentially make purchases. “BuyHereford.com has worked pretty well for me,” Phillips says. “We’ve sold a heifer to Texas and to Missouri. Our bull went to California, and the embryos went to Oregon. It’s helped with getting my genetics out there.” Phillips believes one of BuyHereford.com’s greatest advantages is the ability for producers of all sizes to market their genetics. “It’s a great opportunity for you to get your genetics in front of cattlemen across the country,” she says. “It’s also easy to use, and the cost is reasonable. It’s an easy outlet for your cattle, once a month.” Although any breeder can benefit from the site, Phillips says, smaller breeders should give great consideration to its services. “It’s a great help to small breeders like myself,” she says. “We don’t have our own production sale, and we don’t have a big name or resources to get our cattle out there.”

Small and large Although small breeders can greatly benefit from the service, large breeders can find tremendous advantages, as well, Schock says. “Larger breeders who may host their own production sales can utilize the service as a cash flow throughout the year,” Schock says. “Many breeders use the site to market embryos or cattle that don’t fit their production sale.” In addition, larger producers can also utilize the service to host their own online sales. www.hereford.org


“We conducted production sales for Curry Herefords, Fall Harvest, McMullin-Spearhead and Falling Timber Farm last fall,” Schock says. “Breeders can sell 15-25 lots of their own cattle. They may not have the numbers to host a sale in the conventional fashion, but we can host it online and produce the sale more economically. We can help them establish their own marketing program.” Curtis Curry, Curry Herefords, McAlester, Okla., says he has checked the listings each month for as long as BuyHereford.com has been established. And, he has bid on cattle for the past year. Last summer, he worked with Schock to coordinate a fall online production sale for Curry Herefords. “We sold 12 heifers and averaged $3,750, which was a good response,” he says. “We could also see how many hits each photo and video received. Our first heifer lot received almost 8,000 hits.” Curry says cattle in this sale sold to states including Idaho, New York, Missouri and Oklahoma. “This sale opened up markets for us,” he says. “The cattle sold to several states, and I couldn’t have gotten them to my place to look, in person, otherwise.” Jim Nelson, Nelson Land & Cattle Co., Plano, Texas, says his operation has also found great success with BuyHereford.com. Nelson has listed two or three lots sporadically in the monthly consignment sales. Earlier this year, Nelson Land & Cattle hosted an online embryo and semen sale through the site. “We realized we had quite a bit of extra frozen embryos and semen in the tank,” Nelson says. “We decided to host our own sale, rather than consigning them to the monthly consignment sales.” Nelson says he was extremely pleased with the sale, which boasted results of 56 embryos averaging $424, three pregnant recipients averaging $3,350 and 187 units of semen averaging $91. “We had a variety of quality product,” he says. “There was something for everyone. We hoped www.hereford.org

The process: bidding online Every buyer must sign up on the site and be prequalified to be an approved buyer at the auction. To sign up as a bidder: • Go to BuyHereford.com and click on “Register” at the top of the page. • Read the “Online Auction Terms and Conditions/User Agreement.” • If you accept the agreement, you will then need to select “I Agree,” and this will prompt you to fill out a bidder profile with your name, contact information and credit card information. • After you submit a profile, the auction system will e-mail you a bidder number. • You can use this bidder number and a password you selected when registering to bid on all BuyHereford.com online sales.

to create interest and generate some bidding, and we did. Normally, these types of sales don’t get bidding until the hour before the close of the sale. But we had lots of activity, beginning the first day. Lots of people were watching it.”

Making it work In order to have great success, it’s important to keep a few key ideas in mind. Schock says although the conventional methods of preparing an animal for sale are not entirely necessary, breeders should still do some preparation. “You need to make the maximum effort to market your cattle,” he says. “Get them prepared, and spend some time and money to take a good photo. That will enhance the animal’s value.” Video, he says, is also a bonus. “If you’re going to sell live cattle online, video is also key,” Schock says. “It’s important when marketing live cattle to have a video. And any of the AHA field staff can help you get those photos and video, should you need assistance.” Curry says asking for an AHA representative’s assistance with photos and videos helped greatly with his online production sale last fall. “Schock came and photographed our offering for us,” he says. “It worked well because we had them ready to go.” Phillips says a good photo is essential for success on BuyHereford.com — or on any online sale.

“I think a bad photo is worse than no photo at all,” she says. “Video is also becoming a big thing, and I hope to begin using it this year. When people can’t see the cattle in person, they need as much information as possible.” In addition, Schock says, consignors should contact potential buyers, as with any sale. “You can’t just stick an animal’s photo up there and expect it to sell,” he says. “You have to get out and market your cattle, no matter what method you use.” Phillips adds the BuyHereford.com method is simple. “It’s really straightforward,” she says. “You simply fill out a form online, upload a photo, and mail a check or pay by PayPal. It’s easy to use.” In fact, Phillips believes many producers may not realize how easy or how reasonably priced a BuyHereford.com listing can be. “It seems like whenever anyone asks me how I did on BuyHereford.com, continued on page 38...

The process: consigning Go to BuyHereford.com and click on the “Entry Forms” tab to find the consignment agreement. Read this page and follow instructions. Then, at BuyHereford.com/EntryFormList.html, you can choose an entry form to submit. An initial nonrefundable, up-front fee of $50 per pictured animal or product or $75 for a videoed animal or product will be charged to consign. Once the animal or product is sold, an 8% commission will be deducted from the sale price. The commission and fee for a producer consignment sale is negotiable. Consignors can post photos and video clips. See BuyHereford.com for format guidelines. One week before each auction, an online catalog of consignments will be available. Note: all pedigree information, photos and entry fees may be submitted online. For more information, visit BuyHereford.com/FAQ.html or BuyHereford.com/contacts.html.

they follow up by asking how much it costs,” she says. “It’s very reasonable.” Above all, Curry says, preparation is key for a successful BuyHereford.com sale. “If you’re going to have a sale in May, you need to begin preparing in February,” he says. “And, if you plan to have a sale in the fall, start planning now. Get with Dennis [Schock] and set the date. If you don’t set the date, you’ll never do it.” And if you set the date, chances are, you’ll be pleased with the results.

Seeing success Schock says the exposure a breeder can receive through listing on the site is well worth the small fee — even if the animal doesn’t reach the minimum bid. “It’s another part of a marketing program that is easy and economical,” he says. “The exposure you can gain is nationwide. Look at the numbers of people who go into the website to look at the cattle. Where else can you go to advertise directly to that large of your key market? It can be done at a relatively low cost, and if you do it right, you can benefit.” Nelson says he believes the greatest advantage of BuyHereford.com is the targeted market it reaches. “If you’re in the Hereford business, that’s who BuyHereford.com reaches,” he says. “Your No. 1 customer — the member of the American Hereford Association — is who it reaches.” Nelson says he is impressed with the quality of the technology of BuyHereford.com, as well.

/ April 2012

“We’ve had a few problems in the past, working with Internet sales companies,” he says. “But BuyHereford.com does a great job. I was pleased with the overall way it was organized, and how it ran on the seller end.” And he’s not the only one who’s pleased.

Raving reviews Schock says he has received an overall positive response about breeders’ experiences with BuyHereford.com. “The semen and embryo sales have been awesome,” he says. “And, many who have sold semen and embryos through BuyHereford.com have had customers come back later to buy more embryos, semen or cattle.” Nelson believes semen and embryo packages are perfect for the online sale environment. “You don’t have to really look at the offering the way you do with a live animal, and you don’t have many shipping problems,” he says. “However, with photos and video, I do believe the live animal sales online will continue to grow.” Phillips says the sale of her live animals on the site has led to additional sales down the road. “The gentleman from California who purchased our bull has said when I have something else for sale, to let him know,” Phillips says. “I have also had breeders in Missouri say they’ve seen my cattle for sale on the site. It’s kept my name out there.” With Curry’s sale being held just before the American Royal in Kansas

City, he says many breeders spoke with him at the show about his sale offering. “When we walked into the barns at Kansas City, people hit me up and talked with me about the sale,” he says. “I would have never imagined who would have gone to the sale to look at it. We typically market most of our cattle privately, but BuyHereford.com is a good avenue for us, and we will do it again.” Curry says if a producer is interested in hosting a BuyHereford.com sale, take the leap and try it. “Don’t be afraid,” he says. “If you don’t have a production sale and need to market your cattle, BuyHereford.com is a great way to do it. It’s an inexpensive way to get your name out in front of everyone. If you have any apprehension, just put an animal or two in a monthly consignment sale and try it.” Nelson agrees. “Do your homework and talk to people who have used it,” he says. “Get with Dennis, and work with him personally. He can help you a lot, if you haven’t had much online sales experience in the past.”

Focus on the future Schock says the future of BuyHereford.com is bright. In fact, the program has experienced tremendous growth in the past six months. “We’ve seen a lot of growth in the number of people going onto the website and looking at the sales,” he says. “We’ve done more promotion of the service through e-mails and advertising in Hereford World.” Prior to 2011, BuyHereford.com had conducted only two production sales. However, Schock says, five sales were hosted last fall and this winter, and the calendar is already filling for fall 2012 dates. Schock says he foresees more video work provided by BuyHereford.com in the future as well as increased individual breeder sales. Based on the growing success Hereford breeders have experienced through BuyHereford.com, it’s safe to say participation and results will only continue to grow. Large or small — for producers in the Hereford business, BuyHereford.com offers it all. HW

AI

Advances in the Beef Industry by Heather Smith Thomas

T

he earliest documented use of artificial insemination (AI) was in 1780 when an Italian physiologist produced puppies using this method. A few other reports of successful AI breedings appeared in the 19th Century, but it wasn’t until about 1900 that extensive studies with farm animals began in Russia. By 1938, AI was being done in U.S. dairy herds. At first, people were using extended and cooled liquid semen, packaged in glass ampoules (vials). Allen Bush, communications coordinator, All West, Burlington, Wash., says early

AI was all done with fresh semen, cooled and stored in an ice bath. “Eventually it was put into ampoules and then they started freezing it,” Bush says. Carl Rugg, owner/president, Bovine Elite LLC, College Station, Texas, says that when he first became involved in AI, the process was done by veterinarians and later by specialized AI technicians who were employees of AI cooperatives. “The distributor would bring the veterinarian three or four bulls. The semen would be collected, extended with a media, placed in glass ampoules and kept in an ice bath. That semen would be viable for two to five days, depending on fertility of the bull,” he says.

Newer technology

Carl Rugg says a lot of progress has been made since the early days of artificial insemination (AI).

46

/ April 2012

A lot of progress has been made in reproductive and semen technology since those early days. Rugg earned his master’s degree in reproductive physiology at Colorado State University about the time AI moved to the next phase, packaging and freezing the semen in French straws. “We continue to use this technique and packaging method, which allows

semen to freeze and thaw with higher recovery and ultimately better conception rate. This is an improvement over trying to handle those old glass vials,” Rugg adds. Another advancement in the past 20 years was being able to get genetic proof on bulls. “This is very important when breeding heifers,” says Darrel Wilkes, US beef supply systems manager, ABS Global, Loveland, Colo. “You know that if you pick a high accuracy sire with calving ease, today you don’t have to give up all the other good traits. We’ve definitely bent the genetic curve between birth weight and growth. In the old days, a calving ease bull would give you a live calf but his calves were smaller at weaning.” Wilkes says now many of their customers breed their heifers AI for calving ease and to front-load their calving season with heifers so they have more time to rebreed. “Also they keep replacement heifers from those first-calf heifers. Those calves will have the most modern genetics,” he explains. Also, if you keep heifers that were born easy, they tend to be easy calvers themselves. During the past 10 years, the biggest breakthrough has been the development of more effective synchronization protocols, making AI much easier. All the cows can be bred on the same day instead of having to watch for heat. Conception rates have also improved. Being able to ultrasound the ovaries and determine the time of ovulation helped researchers figure out the best time to inseminate cattle. This information enabled the AI industry to obtain better conception rates. “We’re now using timed AI, where you synchronize everything, and then on appointment you breed them all — without having to look for those that come into heat,” Wilkes says. Willie Altenburg, associate vice president of beef marketing, Genex, Ft. Collins, Colo., says AI has worked well for heifers for many years. “We’ve been struggling www.hereford.org


with cow AI, however. The advent of the CIDR has really helped, so we’ve been doing more cow AI. Synchronization and fixed time insemination has made it to where we need an army of arms to get this accomplished. Most producers can’t breed 100 cows in one morning.” The AI organizations now have portable breeding barns and technicians who can come do this chute-side service for the whole operation — and get those cows all bred in a few hours. Jack Ganje, owner of Universal Semen Sales, Great Falls, Mont., says the biggest advantage for the AI business has been the heat synchronization and timed AI. “It’s more economically feasible for many cattlemen to use AI now. In our part of the country there are a lot of grain farmers and the time of year for AI is the same time they need to be in the fields. Conception/pregnancy rates are as good now with timed AI as they are with heat checking and breeding. So you are not giving up anything by doing it with timed AI.” Genex Area Sales Manager Morgan Johnsrud, Jordan Valley, Ore., says one of the most successful protocols uses the 14-day CIDR with prostaglandin in a timed AI scenario. “Results gathered by the reproductive task force, while working with various reproductive protocols and tweaking them, have shown consistent average of about 65% conception with timed AI. It’s great when you can get 65% of your heifers pregnant on day one of the breeding season,” Johnsrud explains. This increased success has made AI more appealing to producers who are concerned about labor. “We’ve come a long ways since the single or two-shot protocol and riding through the herd for a couple of weeks to detect heats,” he says.

Portable breeding barns A helpful tool for producers implementing an artificial insemination (AI) program is a specialized portable breeding barn. Darrel Wilkes, US beef supply systems manager, ABS Global, Loveland, Colo., explains, “These look like a horse trailer. Most of the ones we use will accommodate two cows at a time.” It’s dark and quiet in the little barn, conditions that reduce stress. “They are not restrained in any way; their head isn’t caught, so they aren’t fighting the confinement. They are standing on the ground rather than a floor, which also helps keep them calm and comfortable,” explains Wilkes. The most popular model is the Large’s breeding barn, invented by Marvin Large, a longtime ABS rep from western Nebraska. “After breeding tens of thousands of cattle in an old chute or some other inadequate facility, Marvin started figuring out a better system. When we breed heifers at Simplot’s facility at Grandview, Idaho, we usually have two of those set up, with a three man crew in each barn. Two people are breeding and the other person thaws semen. With this system we can breed 200 heifers per hour,” Wilkes says. According to Wilkes, Colorado State University did a survey a few years ago, and the reason cited most often by producers as to why they don’t AI was not the cost; it was the hassle factor and facilities. “When you can do total synchronization and timed AI, and bring in a breeding barn, you cut the hassle factor by 80% and solve the facility problem. All you need is an alley or running chute to bring cattle to the breeding barn,” Wilkes says. HW

Benefits of using AI Having a high percent of females pregnant early always makes the producer money. With AI you can select the genetics you want for continued on page 48... www.hereford.org

Marvin Large served as an ABS beef representative for decades. He invented the breeding barn and works with a company to manufacture and sell the trailers today.

...AI Advances continued from page 47

“They are not just breeding heifers AI for calving ease. They are now looking at carcass traits they can get if they breed the cows to certain AI bulls.” — Allen Bush certain traits. You can breed heifers to calving ease bulls with high growth and good maternal traits (and keep replacement heifers from that group) and the cows to a high performance bull or terminal sire for bigger calves to sell or to make money on retained ownership through the feeding phase. “I make more money with an $18 straw of semen than I do with anything else I do with my cows,” Altenburg says. “Just getting heifers to calve early in the season not only gives them a higher probability of remaining earlycalvers for the rest of their lives but you more than pay for the AI with the added weaning weights of their calves,” says Wilkes. Improved genetics is a plus, calving ease is a plus, but if those calves are 10 days older they are 20 lb. heavier, which more than covers the cost of the AI program. This gives heifers’ calves a chance to fit more uniformly with the mature cows’ calves. “Heifers are very easy to AI because you don’t have to sort calves off them,” Wilkes says. “Most of our reps can go onto a ranch, and with just a cowboy or two to push cattle through the chute, they do 200-300 heifers before lunch. The reps manage the synchronization program and bring in a breeding barn, and it’s easily accomplished.” Bush adds that with today’s market prices and the value of cattle, more people are considering use of AI. “They are not just breeding heifers AI for calving ease (which has been the entry level for most producers). They are now looking at carcass traits they can get if they breed the cows to certain AI bulls,” he says.

More advances in reproductive technology Rugg says one of the biggest advances has been in-vitro fertilization of embryos. “The producer may have a

48

/ April 2012

great cow that’s getting old and she’s not producing as many embryos as desired. So we can aspirate ova from her ovaries and fertilize them in-vitro,” he says. Some of the other new technologies include cloning and improved flushing techniques. Flushing donor cows in conjunction with use of sexed semen adds value to maternal lines and cow families. “We are also seeing more exported semen,” says Rugg. His company exports a lot of frozen semen and

embryos to Central and South America. “We continue to see use of high-end bulls in Central and South America, South Africa, Australia and other areas of the world. The embryos are contracted as needed. We don’t have an inventory of embryos; these are custom produced for the client,” he explains. Another new development has been the change from half cubic centimeters (cc) to quarter cc straws. “Supposedly you get a more uniform thaw than with the earlier methods, because it has a smaller diameter and there is more consistency in the temperature,” says Ganje. “Thus you get a better thaw and better recovery of the sperm cells. On down the road we may end up with an even better method — maybe something like freeze-dried semen.” HW

Beef Reproductive Task Force and its role John Hall, University of Idaho Extension beef specialist, says his ranch crew works with the Beef Reproductive Task Force and Reproductive Leadership Team in doing their artificial insemination (AI) protocols. “The task force is a group of those of us who do beef reproduction at various universities, doing research on estrous synchronization and AI,” Hall explains. “The leadership team includes representatives from the task force, AI studs, the pharmaceutical industry and veterinarians. That’s the group that came up with recommended estrous synchronization protocols for AI — recommendations in the back of the AI catalogs.” The group looks at research from all the universities on different AI systems. “When one of them looks promising, we analyze the data to see if we have enough animals/ numbers for valid conclusions, and whether it is consistent enough to say it’s better than what we were doing before,” he says. “We decide whether this is something we want to put on the list of recommended protocols, and determine which ones to take off the list.” The group tries to select only protocols that are best for the cattle and for the people doing the work and also looks at cost. “AI studs continue to work on different extenders for semen. If they feel a different extender is working better, they’ll change. At the universities we may be involved in helping with blind studies on things like that,” Hall explains. The group had looked at fixed-time AI systems — synchronizing and breeding the entire group at one time. “We’ve noticed a lot of progress on the ability to successfully AI post-partum beef cows,” Hall says. In the past, heat-synch protocols were mainly used on heifers. He says the big keys for AI now are management issues. “The cows need to be in good body condition score and at least 30 to 40 days post-partum, before you start a synchronization program,” he says. If a cow is too thin or has not recovered enough from calving, she won’t conceive. HW

Don’t miss the Hereford Register The sixth edition of the Hereford Register will be published as a special section in the July 2012 Hereford World. These “yellow pages” of Hereford breeders throughout the U.S. and Canada will include basic listings of July 2012 advertisers with a quarter-page or larger ad and July 2012 seedstock advertisers. Hereford Register listings include: name, address, telephone, e-mail and website. Listings can be purchased for $50 if you are not a July advertiser meeting the aforementioned specs. Listings are organized by state, then alphabetically by ranch or farm name. Seedstock ads are added at the end of the section and are available for $350 per inch per year. The section will be printed on special paper and bound in the magazine. Reprints will be available upon request, and the information is also posted on HerefordMarketplace.com. Deadline for submissions is May 1. Contact your field representative, Joe Rickabaugh at jrick@hereford.org or Caryn Vaught at cvaught@hereford.org for more information. Rickabaugh and Vaught can also be reached at 816-842-3757.

Breeder pages are back Are you looking for an efficient and economical way to market your cattle? The July Hereford World will again include a section that features state inch ads available for $150 per ad. If you want to do a state ad and also want to be listed in the Hereford Register, the cost is $200. For more information, contact Caryn Vaught at cvaught@hereford.org or 816-842-3757. HW
