Genetic Summit Will Focus on New Industry Dynamics The beef complex has been extremely kind to the cowcalf sector the last few years. Prices for calves, feeder cattle and fed cattle have moved to new highs on an annual basis for three consecutive years. However, profitability has been dampened by extreme increases in input cost. Cattlemen have paid dearly for this current market as revolving drought conditions have cycled around a large part of cow country causing a mass exodus of cows to market. Since 2006 cow numbers have dropped more than 4 million head, reducing bull power by more than 215,000 required bulls annually. That’s more than four times the current number of Hereford bulls produced annually to market to the industry. Environmental strain along with new market dynamics that have become affected by socio-economic change have raised serious questions regarding how to operate in the future. The Hereford breed has reaped the rewards of producing a product that at least 25% of U.S. beef producers are happy with; but what will be required of the breed in the future to maintain that loyalty? More importantly, what will be required of the Hereford breed in order to increase market share in what appears to be a shrinking industry?

Plan to attend Summit The American Hereford Association (AHA) will host a Hereford Genetic Summit Sept. 4-5 in Springfield, Mo.,

/ April 2014

to discuss these issues and more. Questions abound during these dynamic industry changes and challenges. Questions such as what will be the future demands on the U.S. beef industry now influenced by global markets? Will cow efficiency and true feed conversion become increasingly important in genetic selection decisions? What is the Hereford breed’s trend in addressing economic needs? What is the commercial industry saying about the modern Hereford? The AHA Board and staff are currently putting together a thought-provoking program, inviting industry leaders to discuss and debate these interesting issues. If you plan to be a breeder of Hereford genetics in the next five to 10 years, then this is a meeting you won’t want to miss. Conferences such as these, in the past called “type conferences,” typically have had a major influence on the direction of the Hereford breed. In the last millennium, two dominant type changes occurred that left a lasting legacy on the Hereford breed: the “Age of the Shorts” and the “Age of the Giants.” Both trends developed in response to market signals, but both also derailed the breed as breeders had to work to adjust for overcorrection. An incredible example of reacting to market signals was born out of the Wisconsin Type Conference in 1969. Honed in on the economic cost of production, conference planners scoured the country to identify larger-framed

Hereford steers in the frame 5 range that could be used as an examples of what was desperately needed to upgrade the growth and efficiency of cattle that was predominantly frame 3s and 4s. Finding only a few 5 frame cattle in the entire country, a promise was made that largerframed cattle could address the issue of faster daily gain at less cost conversion of feed, the production of more muscle and less fat, and the signal for far less loss in offal waste – all changes attributing to the desired market kind preferred by packers. Breeders took on the challenge and the frame race began. It didn’t take long to take Hereford seedstock to frame 8s and 9s within a 20-year period of time, and the rest is history. Today, times are no less challenging economically. However, the demands are much more complex than simply improving frame size and end weight. Genetic selection tools are much more dynamic; they address both simple and difficult to measure economically relevant traits and have begun to be upgraded through genomic enhanced technology. The “Genomic Age” has now launched delivering more reliable, higher accuracy tools that will aid in a faster response to trends with less guesswork. That being said, it will be critically important to know where the marketplace is heading so that the investment in this technology will not be used in vain. Plan to attend the Genetic Direction Summit: Get on the Cutting Edge — an event you will not want to miss. We’ll make sure you have a great time while you’re there. HW Hereford.org

Top 10 Sires by Registration The winter of 2014 is certainly one to remember and will be talked about for many years. As a high school student in Indiana, I still remember a winter in the late ’70s. It was brutally cold, and we had so much snow and wind that we had calves walking across fences. At the time my family was working for a Hereford breeder, and it was amazing how well those cows handled the tough conditions. We survived that winter, and we will survive this one, but it will certainly be a topic of conversation for years. As we begin to put this winter behind us and start thinking about breeding decisions, I would like to touch on a couple of things we found in our recent commercial survey. Results of this survey are being compiled and will be released at the Hereford Genetic Summit in September, but a couple of key points are still at the forefront. As commercial cattlemen select genetics for the future, calving ease (CE), disposition, efficiency and longevity along with fertility still are at the top of the lists. In addition, market

signals still show us that we need to be very familiar with end product and how our genetics will fit into this very high-quality demand. With that said, it is always interesting to see what kind of genetics and sires are demanded by breeders. Printed here, you will see the top 10 sires by registration for the year starting Jan. 1, 2013, and ending Dec. 31, 2013. Certainly it is a pretty impressive lineup, and it shows that breeders are selecting genetics strong in various economically relevant traits (ERTs) as well as bulls with some proof. Here are a few of the key points to the lineup. First, seven of the bulls can be found in major artificial insemination (AI) studs. This information means those folks have done a great job of finding the kind of Hereford genetics in demand and they have worked closely with the American Hereford Association (AHA) to get those sires entered into the sire test programs to get some early proof. That proof would include real harvest data, and eight of the sires

would have progeny that have feed intake collected. You will notice that four of the bulls are trait leaders for calving ease direct (CED), and eight of them are at breed average or better. In addition, nine of the bulls are trait leaders for $CHB (Certified Hereford Beef profit index), and all of them are better than breed average. Add to this, five of the sires are trait leaders for $BMI (baldie maternal profit index), and eight of them are better than breed average. I searched through the 2014 AI issue that mailed with the March Hereford World and found eight of the bulls were advertised and six of the bulls were priced at $25 per unit or better, and the No. 1 bull in the breed for registrations was a non-certificate bull with semen priced at $25. So, when selecting bulls this spring, keep in mind your customer and use the tools supplied by the AHA to make breeding decisions. Do not compromise breed improvement, and continue to make selections based on sound science. Cull tough and continue to collect as much data as you can including cow weights, udder scores and disposition scores. HW

MEMBER SERVICE

by Christy Bradshaw, AHA education coordinator cbradshaw@hereford.org

As spring approaches and calves get older, it’s time to take those spring yearling weights and, perhaps, fall calf weaning weights. Remember, when you are reporting your weaning or yearling weight information, to include the required management codes and groups. It is important to assign management codes and groups to create a unique combination for each group of calves treated differently within your calf crop. See Table 1. For example, a group of calves with the same management code but were taken care of differently. Calf A1 – Creep fed in a lot Calf A2 – Creep fed in a pasture Weaning MGMT: 2 Group 1 Weaning MGMT: 2 Group 2 Comparatively, when yearling data are reported, you must also provide yearling management codes and groups. See Table 2. As a pedigree registry breeder, please remember to provide the sire’s and dam’s registration numbers when you submit registration on paper. Calf registrations submitted with the sire’s and dam’s tattoo information (or herd ID) is not acceptable as a pedigree registry member. Performance registry breeders maintain up-to-date female inventories; they assign herd IDs to each female, allowing them to refer to their cows by herd ID when registering calves.

Have you changed your e-mail address? Are you not receiving e-mail notifications from the American Hereford Association (AHA)? Possibly, you forgot to update your e-mail address with AHA. Please e-mail your member number and new e-mail address to records@hereford.org.

FAQs Q: I sold a cow to a person that is not a member of the AHA. Can I transfer ownership to a nonmember?

A: Yes, animals may be transferred to nonmembers. When you sell an animal, make sure to get the buyer’s complete current address.

Q: Do I have to have an authorized user account to use the EPD (expected progeny difference) search feature at Hereford.org?

A: No, you do not have to have an authorized user account to use the EPD search found on the Hereford.org website. When you go to Hereford.org and click on “EPD Search,” you have the option of entering as a “Guest” or as an “Authorized A: The calf registration is an error User.” Click on “Guest” to use the because the spring 2014 inventory EPD search without having to has not been updated; therefore, enter login information. the inventory fees have not been However, if you would like billed.

Q: I have received a yellow sheet in the mail regarding a calf registration with the following error message: Dam ######## on unbilled spring 2014 inventory but has not been paid for. What does this mean?

Table 1: Weaning weight management codes

As a TPR participant, you are required to maintain an accurate and up-to-date female inventory listing all females currently in your breeding herd. The TPR program is an inventorybased system, so producers are not charged a fee for each performance record turned in, but participants are charged an annual fee per cow. Whole Herd TPR inventory fees are as follows: mature female: $5.50; first-calf heifer: $3; and sires: $1.50

CHB LLC presence at Red Bluff Bull & Gelding Sale Trey Befort, Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC supply chain manager, recently attended the Red Bluff Bull & Gelding Sale Trade Show Jan. 28 through Feb. 4 in Red Bluff, Calif. Befort worked an informational booth that provided information about CHB and the American Hereford Association (AHA) with emphasis on helping purebred and commercial producers realize how they can get their Hereford calves into the CHB® supply chain. The event sold 319 all-breed bulls, 82 geldings, 16 working stock dogs and 133 Western Video feeder/replacement females.

CHB at NGA Show CHB LLC Vice President of Retail Brad Ellefson, CHB LLC Vice President of Sales Mick Welch and CHB LLC Vice President of Marketing Andrew Brooks attended the 2014 National Grocers Association (NGA) Show in Las Vegas Feb. 8-11. This year, the event attracted record attendance and offered a larger expo floor, which featured six partner pavilions. More than 3,100 independent grocery retailers and wholesalers and close to 400 industry partners displayed their latest products and services on the expo floor. CHB LLC had the opportunity to team up with Kari Underly, a third generation meat cutter and author of the book “The Art of Beef Cutting.” Underly and CHB LLC produced a four-hour meat cutting demonstration the day before the show kicked off that had more than 40 viewers and was standing room only.

The Cattle Industry Convention is the oldest and largest convention for the cattle business. The convention and trade show create a unique, fun environment for cattle industry members to come together to network, create policy for the industry and build relationships. The meeting featured joint and individual meetings by five industry organizations: the NCBA, the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion & Research Board, the American National CattleWomen Inc., CattleFax, and the National Cattlemen’s Foundation. The AHA and CHB booth was a hit. Staff members stayed busy sharing their knowledge with producers. HW

What’s New at the JNHE The National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) has a lot in store for its members this year at the upcoming Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). I hope that everyone is getting excited for “A Sweet Family Tradition” in Harrisburg, Pa., July 5-12. The host states are extremely excited to have juniors travel to the East Coast and several new opportunities are in store for you this summer. The NJHA board sits down every year and discusses how to make the contests and events at the JNHE more educational and fun. We are offering a new contest this year in Pennsylvania: individual sales. Team marketing builds skills to help youth become better marketers as they sell their Hereford cattle. However, most of the time, it’s a single person who is doing the selling. To give the juniors a glimpse at a realworld situation of selling an animal, semen, embryo packages or any

agricultural-related item, the NJHA is going to start offering an individual sales contest. The individual sales contest will mirror what is done in team marketing; however, there will be only one junior “selling” to the judges. Animals are not allowed; however, participants may use visual aids such as iPads, tablets, a binder including information pertaining to the item being sold, pedigrees, etc. Another event for new members is the mentor/protégé program. This program pairs first- or second-year exhibitors with an older member to ask questions and learn from during JNHE week. While this isn’t a new program, the NJHA board has been working hard to add some excitement in 2014. The mentors and protégés will be paired together and engage in a series of challenges to help them learn about the Hereford breed, the American Hereford Association (AHA) staff, the NJHA board, and how big and full of opportunities the JNHE really is. We have several activities for the mentors and their protégés to engage in, such as a mixer where the teams can get to know one another better as well as to interact with the other teams, a scavenger hunt and a picture contest that will allow the mentors’ and protégés’ adventures to be broadcast on the big screen throughout the week. This is a great opportunity for the juniors to get out there and experience all that the JNHE has to offer. In addition to these contest changes, the AHA Board has established a new rule pertaining to steers that will be exhibited at the JNHE. If you plan on showing a steer at the JNHE this summer, you must have a registration paper on that steer. Steers must be out of a registered sire and dam. Steer certificates are no longer viable entry papers for the JNHE; please plan accordingly. Also, I strongly suggest checking with your state junior associations, as several of

them are voting to follow the new rule set forth by the AHA. We are excited about the change to the steer show and believe it helps protect the integrity of the JNHE. There are several ways that you can find further information on these new opportunities and rules. Visit the NJHA website, JrHereford.org. There you can see upcoming events, important updates such as the steer rule, fast approaching deadlines and much more. If you hover over the “juniors” tab, you will see numerous options to look at. The information for the individual sales talk and the mentor/protégé program will be under the contests/awards option. Other options on the junior page include scholarships, PRIDE (Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel) Convention, information for state advisors and links to The Advantage newsletters. Exploring this site is an excellent way for you to familiarize yourself with the happenings in the NJHA. The newest addition to NJHA social media is the Hereford Events App. Anyone with a smartphone has the ability to download this app and to access another way to keep up with Hereford happenings. If you go to the App Store and search the Hereford Events App, you can download the app. On the app, you can find the JNHE schedule, maps of the areas, photos from events, results from shows and important updates. There is also a discussion page where several people have praised the app for helping to make their Hereford experience better. With all of these exciting activities and changes going on within the NJHA, I encourage each and every one of you to check out the website, download the app or contact one of your junior board members for any information regarding the upcoming JNHE. I can’t wait to see everyone at a “Sweet Family Tradition” this summer. It’s going to be a blast! HW Hereford.org

Media influence By reading this article, you are aware NHW has a column in most Hereford World issues. This column is a great venue for the organization to communicate what it is doing, how it is helping and working with Hereford youth, and how Hereford women can become members of NHW. American Hereford Association’s (AHA) eNews often includes NHW updates as well. NHW’s Facebook page is of growing interest to many, as we frequently post specific projects we are working on, fundraising efforts and locations, and news of our board of directors and members.

Partnerships and sponsorships NHW is proud to come alongside AHA, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America and Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC in promoting our breed, our families and youth, and education. NHW is pleased to partner with CHB LLC in securing and coordinating ambassadors. The ambassadors travel to markets where CHB® is sold and help introduce customers to Hereford beef. Those interested in serving in that capacity can contact the CHB staff at AHA or through NHW’s e-mail address. The National Hereford Woman of the Year is sponsored by NHW and celebrates one outstanding woman who promotes Herefords and the industry and is involved in her operation and community. Nomination information is available on NHW’s website.

The National Hereford Queen program is recognized nationally for its training and encouragement of young women who are active in their state queen programs and who desire to become the national queen. NHW sponsors the queen program including the wildly successful “Princess Tea” for young Hereford ladies ages 4-8 who someday hope to wear the queen’s tiara. The myriad junior scholarships and contests presented during the annual Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) have a distinct NHW imprint as members help coordinate judges and present awards. NHW provides more than $20,000 annually for 14 contests and awards including illustrated and extemporaneous speech, creative arts, Hereford Grill-off, and Ed Bible and retiring National Junior Hereford Association board scholarships. The Heifer Award is annually presented during JNHE. One fortunate junior’s name is drawn and is awarded a $1,500 credit toward purchase of a heifer from a sponsoring Hereford operation. NHW also prioritizes making a financial donation for the upkeep and preservation of the Gammon Barn at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. The barn houses much of the country’s polled Hereford history. One of NHW’s major efforts is to see that funds, in addition to dues, are raised annually to further its programs and efforts. NHW’s partnership with artist Amanda Raithel for the last four years has yielded a series of noteworthy Hereford artwork. “Secrets,” “Majesty,” “Setting Precedence” and “Reflections” have garnered significant dollars to NHW’s priorities for youth. All four exclusive-to-NHW prints are available by contacting Alise Nolan, 903-841-2726. Thank you for supporting NHW. NHW does it all for you, the youth, and for its members’ favorite cattle — Herefords! HW Hereford.org

Defining What It Means To Be A Leader The “leadership” word is tossed about quite a bit in business — and during the election season. Have you stopped to ponder what leadership means in your business, in the organizations you are part of — even within your family and community? There are many books, compelling quotes — and opinions — on the subject of leadership. With this regular column, we will spotlight an assortment of leadership items for readers to consider. Perhaps you’ll find a place to incorporate some of these tactics into your everyday endeavors. Leadership, after all, is a skill that is honed over time in the battlefield of life. It’s about becoming the best person you can be, while inspiring others to do the same. A simple quote that captures that thought — and the essence of leadership — is this: “A candle loses nothing of its light by lighting another candle.” Are you being a candle of leadership for others?

Are you a real leader? “Real” leaders inspire others to lead wherever they find themselves in the organization. So says Ritch Eich, author of the book “Real Leaders Don’t Boss.” “Real leaders are rare in today’s fastmoving, financially driven world,” states Eich. He observes that there are far too many bosses and not enough leaders. Bosses who are too narrowly focused often see employees as tools to control rather than to empower. In his book Eich dedicates a chapter to what he identifies as the eight essentials of effective leadership: 1) Real leaders don’t boss. They are calm in their style yet have zero tolerance for bullies, who, in any capacity, undermine performance and morale. 2) Real leaders have a central compass. They aspire to do what’s right and be a part of something bigger than themselves.

/ April 2014

“A candle loses nothing of its light by lighting another candle.”

3) Real leaders communicate with clarity, honesty, and directness and know how to listen. 4) Real leaders have a unique makeup. Their passion translates into a strong corporate culture. 5) Real leaders value and support everyone. They lead — out front as well as behind the scenes. 6) Real leaders know when to get out of the way. 7) Real leaders are accessible. They are humble and easily approachable. 8) Real leaders know the difference between character and integrity and why it takes both to succeed. These eight essentials are about treating people right, Eich concludes. He adds, “It is these opportunities to rise above our present situation and environment that we should be seeking out and providing for our children — the next generation of leaders.”

to-day business details, a visionary manager — or leader — must spend his time looking forward to find opportunities and to work on growing the business. A feature profiling Stephen McDonnell, founder of the New Jerseybased meat company Applegate Farms, in Inc. Magazine illustrated this concept quite well. For background: Applegate Farms has a 25-year history and $200 million in revenue today. The company is one of the largest natural and organic food brands in the U.S., selling to small specialty food stores, Whole Foods and big chain supermarkets. Surprisingly, McDonnell is a very hands-off manager, who says that for the past 25 years, he has physically gone to the office only about once a week — occasionally through certain periods twice a week but rarely more. McDonnell says, “I work largely out of my office at home. I think you can observe what’s happening so much easier from the outside than when you’re inside of it. Your whole outlook changes. You actually become kind of a therapist to your organization. When you’re inside it, you’re the patient.” Could your business survive — and thrive — if you were only physically present once a week? What opportunities might you discover if you had more time to work on the future of your business? Obviously, McDonnell has done an exceptional job of putting the right team in place to handle the day-to-day details, so he can devote time to the greater mission of the company. It’s a concept we can all strive for. HW Editor’s Note: In this issue we introduce a new column focused on leadership. Each column will include lessons related to business management and motivation.

Working on vs. working in You’ve probably heard the phrase “working on your business vs. working in your business,” meaning that rather than getting bogged down in the dayHereford.org

Dams of Distinction

OF DISTINCTION

2,386 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 2013 Dam of Distinction, a cow must have: 1) Weaned a calf born since Jan. 1, 2012. 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, 2013. 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 website, Hereford.org. The 2013 Dams of Distinction list recognizes 2,386 Hereford cows from 679 Hereford performance herds in 43 different states. For 33 years Rausch Herefords, Hoven, S.D., has led Hereford breeders with the most cows qualifying as Dams of Distinction. With 381 cows recognized, South Dakota is the top state again this year.

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 30 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. A list of the 105 sires recognized as Sires of Distinction follows. -S PURE GOLD 160A L91 - - - - - - - - - - - AH ONLINE TRADITION 11P - - - - - - - - ANCHOR 50N - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - BAR JZ PUCKSTER 892H - - - - - - - - - - - BAR JZ WESTERN 114J - - - - - - - - - - - - C HOME BREW 60H - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CH 36E ICON 36K ET - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CHURCHILL YANKEE ET - - - - - - - - - - - - CJH 9005 ADVANCE 461 - - - - - - - - - - - CL 1 DOMINO 014K - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CL 1 DOMINO 4134P 1ET - - - - - - - - - - CL 1 DOMINO 482P 1ET - - - - - - - - - - - CMF 584T FRONTIER 634L - - - - - - - - - CT GENERAL 144L - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CTY PREMIUM 019K - - - - - - - - - - - - - - DM BR L1 DOMINO 146 - - - - - - - - - - - DR 7H MANDATE 005K - - - - - - - - - - - - EE 311 L1 042 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - EF K334 CROWN BEEF N014 - - - - - - - - EH MAN KODIAK C859 - - - - - - - - - - - - ELM-LODGE JURASSIC 13J - - - - - - - - - -

Research Review:

Limit-Feeding Cows and Fetal Programming Researchers share highlights from current studies. by Kindra Gordon

s grazing lands have become less available — either due to drought or because of urbanization or conversion to cropland — producers might consider feeding cows in confinement for a period of time, suggests Karla Jenkins, a rangemanagement cow-calf specialist with the University of Nebraska (UN) at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center in Scottsbluff. She and her colleagues have been conducting studies to learn more about limit-feeding cows in confinement. She underscores that limit-feeding means producers want the animals to maintain weight, not gain weight. Particularly as the industry faces drought recovery of pastures and

higher grazing costs, Jenkins says, “Producers may need to rethink their utilization of grass and think outside the box as they look at different possibilities.” She suggests confinement may become a part of a producer’s system and provide opportunities to save high-quality grass for gains. She adds, “We used to think grass was the cheapest place for gains, but that has changed.” For those who utilize limitfeeding in confinement, Jenkins says there are some key considerations. They include: 1) Knowing the nutrient content of feedstuffs, which can be tricky with byproducts. She encourages using TDN (total digestible nutrients) values

produced by universities for feeding trials. Extension personnel can assist in helping develop a diet. 2) Understanding the nutrient requirements of cows. A cow’s needs will change depending on stage of gestation or lactation — and if she has a calf at her side, the diet will need to be adjusted to account for the feed the calf consumes too. 3) Recognizing that byproducts don’t always have to mean ethanol. She suggests looking at other regionally available byproducts — such as beet pulp for producers in western Nebraska. If a feedstuff is seasonally available, there might be an opportunity to bag and store it until it is needed for feed as well.

Hereford.org

While the cow confinement studies that Jenkins is involved with are in their second year, she reports that from the first year of data, researchers have not seen differences in performance between early weaned and late weaned pairs, weaning weights of calves, body condition scores of cows, or pregnancy rates of cows.

Room for improvement in beef operations As the world prepares for its population to grow to more than 9 billion people by the year 2050, food production will also need to increase — by as much as 70% — to meet global demand. Becoming better beef producers will be integral to meeting that increased demand, and use of technology in agriculture will be key to meeting that growth, points out University of Wyoming Extension Beef Cattle Specialist Steve Paisley. Paisley notes that technology is already helping beef producers do more with less. As an example, beef numbers nationwide have declined, while beef production has been able to increase. “That’s testament to our industry; we are using technology to improve,” Paisley says. Technology, in addition to improving production, Paisley notes, is also helping the beef industry use environmental resources more efficiently. Paisley credits producers for implementing many changes over the last 50 years, but he adds, “We have to continue to change.” Many of the technologies already exist — now the next hurdle is to get more cattle producers to start utilizing them. Paisley says by maximizing the use of many of these tools, the U.S. beef industry can continue to improve and add efficiency to the U.S. cow herd. These tools include better use of:

Pregnant cow nutrition Regarding ongoing research with nutrition of pregnant cows and the impact on progeny, researcher Rick Funston reports, “We can decrease marbling before calves are born based on how we feed cows.” Funston is a researcher at the UN Central Research and Extension Center at North Platte. Funston explains that several studies are being initiated in the area of “fetal programming” — which is explained as how what the cow eats and what she endures during pregnancy affects subsequent lifetime performance of the calf she’s carrying. Regarding his statement about research showing a decrease in a calf’s marbling before it is even born, Funston added, “These cattle were all the same genetics and we are affecting things we are selecting for. This brings home the point — it [selection] is not going to work unless it is managed for.” Fetal programming has been studied in humans, and, now, the consequences to calves from cows fed restricted diets are being researched more. Funston says data from several studies show that restrictions to a cow’s diet during pregnancy can affect weaning weight and carcass weight of the steers, as well as the fertility of heifers, before they’re ever born. Funston says fetal programming responses can result from a negative

• Crossbreeding. Currently only about 44% of operations utilize this tool. • Genetic information or EPDs (expected progeny differences). An example would be the use of feed efficiency information on bulls being purchased for the herd.

• Artificial insemination (AI). Today only 7-8% of U.S. herds use AI. Paisley notes that costs of AI and labor needs are being reduced with the many synchronization programs that are available.

• Implants. Presently 10% or fewer operations use implants, which can increase average daily gain by .10 to .13 lb./day.

• Record keeping. Only 12-15% of operations use any type of computerized records. Paisley notes that individual animal identification as a part of a record keeping system can help provide information for continued performance improvement. HW

nutrition environment, which can be caused by several factors, including:

• Breeding of young dams, who compete for nutrients with rapidly growing fetal systems;

• Increased incidences of

multiple fetuses or large litters;

• Selection for increased milk

production, which competes for nutrients with increased energy demand from fetal and placental growth; or

“We can decrease marbling before calves are born based on how we feed cows.”

• Breeding of livestock

during high environmental temperatures and pregnancy occurring during periods of poor pasture conditions.

The bottom line to this ongoing research is that proper management of cow nutrition during gestation can improve progeny performance and health. Interestingly, new research with mice also suggests there may be a paternal influence to fetal programming — meaning sires require proper nutrition management during development and prebreeding as well.

People’s Jewel Miniature Hereford cow BHF Jewel of the Valley warms hearts everywhere she goes. by Sara Gugelmeyer

BHF Jewel of the Valley is not your average cow. She’s really not even your average miniature Hereford cow. Her job isn’t to raise calves or make beef; she is a therapy and educational animal. Her owner, Gina Moore, uses her for pet therapy at nursing homes and hospitals and to educate children through a non-profit petting zoo. Her story started March 31, 2006, at Bryan Hill Farm, Broadway, Va. Debbie Bryan says, “She became our first bottle calf; little did we know this cow would become such a big part of our family. Our then 3-year-old daughter, Rachel, named her and we let Rachel help a lot with

/ April 2014

the bottle-feeding. This sparked her interest in cattle.” When “Jewel” was 5 months old, she and Rachel made their showring debut in the peewee class at the county fair. The duo continued to be a success at the county fair for the next three years. Debbie explains, “The relationship was built, and we had no intentions of selling her until Gina called.” Gina Moore, a legal secretary in Princeton, W.Va., already had a llama, sheep, goats, a miniature donkey and a miniature horse in her barn. She had gotten started with pet therapy using dogs, and it

quickly expanded to include all of her animals. “A lot of people were saying I needed a cow,” Gina explains. “But it’s hard to find a cow that’s tame enough. I called (Bryan Hill Farm), looking for a cow that was just broke to lead.” She explained what she wanted the cow for and was thrilled when Tim Bryan said they might have the perfect one for her but the family would have to discuss it first. Jewel had also bonded closely with Allison, Rachel’s sister, and both were very attached to the cow. Plus, the Bryans had a young son, Landon, now 3, who would Hereford.org

likely enjoy her as well. The Bryan family spent a week discussing the possibility of parting with Jewel and then called Gina. “Our daughters decided they had six happy years with Jewel and if she could bring happiness to many other people through Gina’s pet therapy, then we could sell her,” Debbie says. Gina and her husband, John, made the three-hour drive to Bryan Hill Farm. “I knew the cow was special when the whole family turned out to say goodbye,” Gina says. “They all took pictures with her, the kids, their grandfather, their mom and dad. They were all crying and the kids were so upset. It was heart wrenching for me when they each got in the trailer and said their goodbyes. I assured them I would take good care of her.” Gina has done just that, and Jewel has helped others as well. “She has the cutest personality,” Gina says. “She’s made friends with all the cats and other animals.” Jewel went to “work” right away. “The first place we took her was a horse show for handicapped and ill children. A lot of them can’t walk,” Gina explains. “One little girl with cancer said she wanted to sit on the cow’s back so we let her. Jewel didn’t mind at all.” She continues, “I wasn’t sure how she would react around wheelchairs and hospital beds, but she was perfectly fine with it. She wasn’t scared at all.” That quality is especially important when Gina and her animals visit nursing homes. Since the animals can’t go inside, the patients are wheeled into the yard however the aides can manage.

Hereford.org

“She’s very special,” Gina says. “She holds very still and lets the elderly people pet her. She will stick her head right into their lap.” In fact, Gina says, nursing homes are where Jewel has been the biggest hit. “The older people are the ones most impressed with the cow because a lot of them grew up on a farm. Alzheimer’s patients are especially affected by Jewel. They start remembering when they had cattle and talk about their cattle while petting her. You can just see them come alive when they start stroking her.” For more able bodies, the Moores have a trailer to house the animals; then the people, or usually children, are able to walk through it and spend time with each animal. Jewel and her “petting zoo” trailer are often used as fundraisers. “Our church advocates Bibles in schools, so the church will have fundraisers to buy Bibles for classrooms,” Gina says. “The church will charge $1 to go through the petting zoo. We never charge anything; we always take our animals for free because we just love doing it.” Jewel is a jack-of-all-trades. This past Christmas, Gina provided the animals for a live nativity scene at her church. And Jewel has even helped the local Girl Scout troop earn badges. In the winter, they stay home more, Gina says, but during the summer, Jewel is on the road at least once a month. “We have these animals as our private pets, but we just like sharing them with everybody,” Gina says. “With the nursing homes, it’s strictly

pet therapy, and the cow gets the most attention, I think, because they associate that with their childhood. But with the kids, we try to advocate our animals, because a lot of kids have never been around livestock. They have no idea where their food comes from. We have a chicken, we have a goat and a sheep and the cow now. It helps people, and especially little kids, who don’t know what they’re eating. They need to know this is where their food comes from.” Debbie says, “It warms our hearts to see the things Gina and her family continue to do with Jewel. We know Jewel is at a wonderful farm, being taken care of and putting hoof prints on other people’s hearts, just like she did with our family. Gina keeps in touch with us and sends us photos of all the things Jewel is doing and places Jewel visits.” HW

Follow Me to Tennessee Highlights of the 2014 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show.

record-setting number of more than 8,200 cattlemen and women gathered in Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 3-7 for the 2014 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show. Cattle industry enthusiasts from across the country joined together for a week of education and entertainment while also

setting policy to guide legislative efforts for the coming year. The convention included joint and individual meetings sponsored by five industry organizations: NCBA, Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion & Research Board (CBB), American National CattleWomen Inc. (ANCW), CattleFax and the National Cattlemen’s Foundation (NCF).

This year’s convention participants heard from industry leaders, gathered insight on industry trends, met with their fellow cattlemen and women, and enjoyed a night at the Grand Ole Opry in the heart of Nashville. The NCBA Trade Show was the largest ever this year with more than 300 exhibitors. New to the trade show this year were two education areas on the showroom floor with a demonstration area for live animals and a learning lounge for classroom-style presentations.

Leadership

The American Hereford Association (AHA) and Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC booth attracted trade show attendees in Nashville. Visitors picked up promotional materials and visited with AHA staff about the Hereford advantage.

Bob McCan, Victoria, Texas, succeeded Scott George as NCBA president during the association’s board of directors meeting. McCan encouraged NCBA members to join him in leading this great industry — and the association — to an even stronger future. “It is a great honor to be elected to lead NCBA for the next year. A strong future lies ahead of us with endless opportunities for U.S. cattlemen and women,” McCan said. “There are many issues that need our attention, and my goal is to bring unity to our efforts to address them. In addition, I look forward to meeting cattlemen throughout the country to hear their concerns and work to make our industry as successful as it can be.” The new NCBA president-elect is Philip Ellis of Wyoming. Tracy Brunner of Kansas is NCBA’s new vice president. Cevin Jones of Idaho was elected chairman of the NCBA Federation Division and Jennifer Houston of Tennessee is the Federation Division’s vice chair. The new NCBA Policy Division chairman is Craig Uden of Nebraska, and Kevin Kester of California is the new policy vice chairman. Hereford.org

CattleFax outlook: Blach shares vision for 2020 Cattlemen and women gathered on Feb. 5 during the Cattle Industry Convention to hear CattleFax market analysts’ projections for the year ahead. Creighton University Professor Emeritus Art Douglas told the audience he expects improved moisture conditions in the majority of the U.S., including improvements in the drought-affected areas of the West Coast. As precipitation returns to more normal levels for the 2014 growing season, CattleFax predicts farmers in the U.S. should grow an adequate corn crop to build the carryover supply. The improved corn supplies should assure lower corn/input costs over the next 12-24 months, according to CattleFax Grain Market Analyst Mike Murphy. “The lower input cost will have a direct correlation to improved feeder cattle and calf values in 2014, and with continued help from Mother Nature, we will be in better shape with regard to hay supply and prices moving forward,” Murphy said. Global Market Specialist Brett Stuart indicated that beef exports are expected to be near even in 2014 with record high prices being the limiting factor. At the same time, expectations are for beef imports to be near even, despite the need for 90% trim due to the expected lower non-fed slaughter rates in the U.S. The driving factor for stagnant imports is the growth of China’s demand for global beef, which will continue to divert beef from Australia into the China market and away from the U.S. market. CattleFax Senior Analyst Kevin Good indicated the combination of improved moisture conditions resulting in lower input costs and record high calf values should lead to beef cow herd expansion beginning in 2014. Beef production in the U.S. will fall, with per capita supply declining 4.5%. However, he said the pork and poultry supplies are expected to increase, leaving total meat supplies near even. CattleFax projects the Retail Beef Demand Index will improve by 1% due to continued modest economic growth. “As we think about our consumers today, not only domestically but globally, they’re a lot more diverse than they have been in the past,” Good said. “We’ve got different customers with different preferences and different pocketbooks.” Good said because of the continued tighter feeder cattle supply, the margin segments of the beef production system, both feedyards and packers, will struggle with excess capacity. Look for continued closure of both packing and feeding entities over the next 12-24 months. Prices are expected to average $135 compared to $126 during 2013, an increase of 7%. Yearling prices are expected to

Hereford.org

average $168, an increase of 13% from the 2013 average of $146. According to Good, calf prices will average $193, up 13% from last year’s average of $168. “After years of tightening supplies, the cow-calf sector will again remain in the driver’s seat during 2014,” Good said. CattleFax CEO Randy Blach summarized the year ahead by saying almost all segments of the production chain will be profitable, although margin operators will continue to face challenges over the next few years. Blach remains optimistic for the long-term cattle industry as the profit incentives will result in a larger U.S. cattle herd over the next five years, creating business opportunities for those willing to adapt to a dynamic and changing business environment. “You can start to see the globalization of the protein markets from the 1990s on,” Blach said. “We have the most efficient production system in the world and we are the largest exporter of protein onto the global market.” According to Blach, the beef supply that Americans consume annually has decreased to less than 55 lb. compared to 95 lb. in the late 1990s. The main driver of why markets change is supply. In 2014 retail and wholesale beef prices are expected to increase 7%, though per capita net beef supplies will drop 4% to 54 lb. per person. However, in 2020, Blach predicted, global growth will continue, and global markets will add $307 in value of beef, beef byproducts and hide exports per carcass, a strong increase from $175 in 2003. Currently, the U.S. is the largest beef producer in the world, but it needs herd expansion to retain that title. Blach said 27% of the meat — beef, pork and poultry — exported globally comes from the U.S. In 2013 the U.S. exported 7.3 billion lb. of beef, and Blach predicted that by 2020 that number could increase to 12.2 billion lb. To prepare for an increasingly global marketplace in 2020, Blach suggested the U.S. beef industry will 1) continue to consolidate, 2) expand the cow herd in the next one to four years, 3) increase capital requirements, 4) be prepared for more volatility, 5) increase risk management, and 6) enhance global market access and trade agreements to respond to increased global buying power. Other countries need more of what we have, and now they have the income to pay for it, he explained. HW

also a retired U.S. colonel and holds a law degree from TU, an MBA from Syracuse, a master’s degree in agricultural economics/ animal science from Mississippi State University and a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Arkansas. Most recently, Gebhart served as chairman of NCBA’s Federation Division. He has held numerous volunteer leadership positions with the Oklahoma Beef Council, the Oklahoma Hereford Association, the Rogers County Cattlemen’s Association and NCBA. In addition to the election of the new officer team on the final day of the convention, committees and the board of directors also voted on policy issues, including resolutions on cattle health and well-being, cattle marketing and

international trade, federal lands ranching, and more.

Cattlemen’s College The NCBA’s Cattlemen’s College kicked off Cattle Industry Convention activities on Feb. 3 and 4. The 2014 edition of Cattlemen’s College offered a wide range of informative, hands-on educational workshops designed for cattle operations of every size and sector. Cattlemen’s College participants heard from an outstanding lineup of industry experts during the course of two jam-packed days. On Monday, Feb. 3, participants heard from Arne Anderson, DVM, as he discussed the dos and don’ts of processing cattle through a chute, with emphasis placed on safety and efficiency for both the cowboys and the cattle.

Free BQA certification for producers Are you doing your part for the beef industry by earning your BQA certification? For a second year, the checkoff-funded Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program is giving producers the chance to become certified for free thanks to a partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica Inc. (BIVI) and the Beef Cattle Institute (BCI) housed at Kansas State University. The cost of BQA certification is normally $25 to $50; however, from Feb. 3 through April 15, 2014, BIVI will defray the cost of the certification or recertification, making it free. Visit www.bqa.org/team or www.BIVI-BQA.com to get started. “BQA provides cattlemen with practical management tools they need to produce safe, high-quality beef for our consumers, says Ryan Ruppert, senior director of Beef Quality Assurance. “BQA also helps discover practices which can improve efficiency and, ultimately, profitability.” “One of the challenges that beef producers face is having all of their employees become BQA certified,” says Dr. Jerry Woodruff, BIVI professional services veterinarian. “BIVI’s partnership with BQA helps offset some of those expenses, and we encourage producers and their employees to use the online training programs.” The beef industry has embraced BQA because it is the right thing to do, and certification is the next step to show your commitment to producing the best beef possible. In 2013 more than 3,500 producers took advantage of BIVI’s support of BQA online certification. BIVI sponsorship of the program again in 2014 demonstrates the company’s commitment to improving the industry and to telling consumers about the sound production practices most cattlemen use every day. The BQA online programs are customized for cow-calf, stocker, feedlot and dairy operations. Developed and managed by the independent BCI, these easy-to-use modules teach sound management techniques that can be applied to all producers’ operations. The modules also help cattle operations tell their stories to consumers who might not understand all of the safety measures cattlemen take in producing the food on the table. HW

Following this presentation, Jerry Lipsey and Kent Andersen, DVM, shifted focus to the selection of herd replacements. In his presentation, Lipsey demonstrated how to select replacement heifers for longevity, and Andersen discussed combining cowboy common sense for soundness and adaptability traits with the disciplined use of expected progeny differences (EPDs) for combinations of calving ease, growth, efficiency, and carcass and maternal traits in selecting replacement bulls. Cattlemen’s College classes started back up Tuesday with a keynote address by Bob Langert, who is the corporate vice president and leads corporate social responsibility and sustainability for McDonald’s Corporation. Langert shared McDonald’s overall sustainable supply chain vision and beef’s role in the company’s plan. Langert also discussed how McDonald’s is working with various stakeholders, including all parts of the value chain, to collaborate on social and environmental opportunities and challenges as sustainability in the industry continues to evolve. “If we don’t invest on sustainability, we’re not going to have all the customers we want in the future,” Langert said. “At McDonald’s we know what we’re good at, and we know what we’re not good at. What we’re good at is running restaurants, but we need to rely upon beef ranchers, processors, the industry to figure out what sustainability means. We’re just one part of the spoke. That’s what the global roundtable for sustainability is. Yeah, our voice is there, but so are all the others. Let’s come up with a definition of beef sustainability for all of us that’s based on science and going to help drive our businesses forward.” For more convention news and highlights, visit NCBA’s website, beefusa.org, or the online meeting coverage site, 4cattlemen.com.

Hereford day celebrates supporters A Hereford day was hosted Dec. 19 at the Columbia Livestock Center, Columbia, Tenn., to recognize those who have helped make the Tennessee Hereford Marketing Program (THMP) one of the best marketing options in the country for Hereford feeder cattle. Hosting the day were the American Hereford Association (AHA), Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC, the Tennessee Hereford Association, the Tennessee Polled Hereford Association and the Tennessee Livestock Producers (TLP). The focus of the day was to recognize those buyers who have been instrumental in the success of the THMP since its first sale in 1999. Mark Sullivan, Dickson, and Gid Fox, Franklin, were recognized as having purchased cattle in every THMP sale. Don Terry, manager of the TLP Somerville barn, was given special recognition for his market support and for weighing, sorting and loading groups of west Tennessee cattle shipped to Columbia for the sale. These gentlemen, along with nine others who purchased groups of calves during the 2013 sale, TLP General Manager Darrell Ailshie and auctioneer Tommy Bailey were presented AHA jackets as tokens of appreciation for their support of THMP. Prior to the jacket presentations, these buyers along with all auction barn employees and farmers attending the weekly auction were treated to a CHB® AHA Vice President Eric Walker presents an AHA jacket to Mark Sullivan, Dickson. ribeye steak.

She was also the first woman asked to judge cattle at the American Royal. She attended five World Hereford Conferences. A member of the Florida Cattlemen’s Association since its inception, Snead was made an honorary director in 1989.
