Hereford Board Announces EVP Search Committee The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors has announced the formation of a search committee to assist with the selection of a new executive vice president and Association secretary. Former AHA Executive Vice President Craig Huffhines announced in mid-February that he would be stepping down after serving 18 years at the helm of AHA. The Board announced Feb. 23 that Jack Ward, current AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement, will serve as interim executive vice president during the search process.

Current AHA Vice President Sam Shaw, a Hereford producer from Caldwell, Idaho, will chair the national search. The search committee will review applications and then identify and recommend potential candidates for the AHA Board to consider. “The next executive vice president will assume the role when AHA is experiencing exciting times in the beef industry. He or she will provide key leadership as the Hereford breed continues to gain market share in the beef industry as we continue to develop the tools and programs our members and

Ward named interim executive vice president Jack Ward has been named interim executive vice president of the American Hereford Association (AHA). Eric Walker, AHA president, announced the appointment following the resignation of Craig Huffhines. “As a Board we agree that naming Jack as interim executive vice president is what is best for the Association during this time of transition,” Walker says. “We are confident that Jack will continue business in a seamless and effective manner.” As interim Ward will lead, direct, manage or support all functions of the Association, including serving as the Association secretary. Ward has served as AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement since he joined the AHA team in 2003. His leadership has created increased interest and participation in the Association’s National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) and testing Hereford genetics in real-world commercial settings. He was also instrumental in AHA’s development of genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) and other breed improvement strategies such as the newly release udder EPDs. “It will be a pleasure to serve as the interim executive vice president and secretary as the AHA Board of Directors works through this transition,” Ward says. “The AHA has an incredible staff and we will work together to continue the service and the development of tools to enhance the demand for Hereford cattle.” Along with his solid background in Association work, he also has real-world seedstock experience, having spent 16 years managing several prominent seedstock operations and most recently was managing partner of Maple Lane Angus. Ward is recognized throughout the industry for his ability to communicate and educate effectively. He has traveled across the U.S. and overseas to lead educational forums. Ward is currently serving on the Beef Improvement Federation board of directors and the Ultrasound Guidelines Council. He graduated from Purdue University with a bachelor’s degree in agriculture economics and also has an associate of science degree from Black Hawk East College. Jack and his wife, Mary Ann, have two college-age sons — Cameron and Carter. The family resides in Plattsburg, Mo. HW

$ Indexes — Helping Your Customers Be More Profitable

/ April 2015

It is easy to see that genetic progress has been made in the U.S. beef industry during the past few decades as the pounds of beef produced have increased while the cow herd inventory has shrunk. According to figures presented by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, in 1980 there were nearly 48 million cows, and they produced about 21.5 billion lb. of carcass weight compared to figures from 2009, which show that 41 million cows produced about 26 billion lb. of carcass weight. All reports show the world’s population is growing and there will be an even bigger demand for the sustainable production of high-quality, nutritious beef. There are several reasons for this increase in production, and those can be attributed to better management practices, including health and feed. Cattlemen also have put a real emphasis on genetic selection. Through the years there has been a transformation in all livestock production from type and pedigree to data collection, genetic evaluations and genomic tools. As new tools evolved, the seedstock industry has been asked to implement these tools to make the genetic progress needed in the commercial industry. As the industry puts into effect these changes, it must keep in mind that the industry has to stay profitable and sustainable. Specifically, the beef cattle industry has changed its mindset from “more is always

better” to considering the expense of producing one more pound of beef. In 2005 the American Hereford Association introduced four profit indexes which allow breeders and their commercial customers to select sires that maximize profit under different production situations. The indexes are formulated on general representations of beef production systems used in the U.S. and consider a group of economically relevant traits (ERTs) that characterize those systems. Relative economic values for this group of traits are paired with expected progeny differences (EPDs) to produce a profit ($) index value. The difference in the $ value of the index predicts the difference in profit potential. This technology was first introduced in the early 1940s. The swine and dairy industries have used values such as a sow productivity index and a type-production index to select animals that excel in several traits. Various beef breeds around the world have developed index value tools as part of their current genetic evaluations. The Hereford breed has developed three maternal indexes and one terminal index. You can find detailed information on the Hereford $ indexes at Hereford.org. As you hear more about individual tools being developed to identify cattle in the commercial industry, take a closer look at the $ indexes and what they can provide your customers. These indexes

are built to be comprehensive, and they look at multiple traits, which include pedigree, performance and genotypes. These, along with the $ component, make them the tool of choice to increase profitability. As we move forward, fertility and efficiency traits will be added, making these so much more valuable than any individual tool, including a small genomic panel that accounts for a small amount of variation in an individual trait. It’s important to identify your customers. If they are using Hereford bulls in a British-based program and they want to benefit from both heifer replacements and feedlot merit, the all-purpose index of choice would be to select bulls from the Baldie Maternal Index (BMI$). If your customers want to utilize Hereford bulls in a replacement heifer program, then the Calving Ease Index (CEZ$) should be the one you provide them for selection. If your customers are in the Gulf Coast and want to use Hereford bulls in Bos indicus-based programs, then use the Brahman Influenced Index (BII$). If your customers are more concerned with end product merit, then the Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) should be the one of choice. Economic selection indexes allow producers to select animals with the most favorable combination of EPDs to maximize profit in a given situation. As you make the chase for more output, there will always be some antagonisms. To help customers be more profitable, the tool of choice for selection should be the $ indexes. HW Hereford.org

Whole Herd TPR™ upcoming deadline — June 1 Performance members, the fall 2015 Pan-American Cattle Evaluation (PACE) is just around the corner. Remember the closing date for all birth, weaning, yearling and ultrasound data for fall 2013 calf crops is June 1. Please be mindful of the Whole Herd TPR (Total Performance Record) compliance requirements for the genetic evaluation.

Birth weight If birth weights are submitted, all calves in the calving group must then have their actual birth weights or calving ease codes that specify otherwise (stillborn, aborted, etc.) reported. If the calves are unregistered or are crossbred calves, birth weights will not be required to be compliant with Whole Herd TPR. Embryo transfer (ET) calves aren’t required to report birth weights unless they are recorded out of an inventoried registered Hereford recipient cow.

Weaning weight — optional Reporting of all weaning weights or appropriate disposal codes on offspring of all cows enrolled is required for Whole Herd TPR compliance. Every dam enrolled on a breeder’s Whole Herd TPR inventory must have a weaning weight submitted for her calf or an appropriate disposal code must be recorded in place of a weaning weight. Again, ET calves are not required to submit weaning data unless they are recorded out of an inventoried registered Hereford recipient cow. To ensure the maximum effectiveness of contemporary grouping from your cow herd’s calf crop, all calves should be weighed within seven days of one another and be within the range of 110 to 300 days of age.

/ April 2015

Weaning weights must be reported before an ultrasound barn sheet can be generated.

Yearling weight — optional If the breeder chooses to submit yearling weights, all live calves must have a yearling weight or disposal code recorded in order for the data to be included in the genetic evaluation. Yearling weights should be taken between 301 to 530 days of age. Animals weighed outside of the age span will be marked irregular for yearling weight ratio.

Ultrasound — optional Ultrasound should be done at the same time as yearling data is collected. The ultrasound data must be sent from the processing lab directly to the American Hereford Association (AHA).

Calf registration tips Tattooing calves: Tattoos are a requirement for registry in the AHA record. It is strongly advised that breeders place the tattoo in both ears to enhance the chances that a complete tattoo identity can be established. The Association doesn’t assign tattoos, and the tattoo is completely up to the breeder. However, it is recommended to use a “year letter” to indicate the calf’s year of birth (2013-A, 2014-B, 2015-C, etc.). Naming a calf: It’s the responsibility of the original owner to name the calf to be registered. The name cannot be more than 30 spaces long, including spaces between words. Brands, symbols and commas can’t be used. Names should be unique to each animal and appropriate for its gender. It’s also recommended for names to reflect the line of breeding and tattoo number.

ET calf registration: ET calves can be registered from the “Application for Registration” or through MyHerd.org. Calves resulting from embryo transfer must carry the ET designation following their registered names. The embryo recovery date should be supplied at the time of registry, and all ET calves will be charged an additional $10 per head over and above the normal registry rate.

FAQ Q: How do I change my registry type from pedigree to performance? A: Contact the AHA customer service department to enroll your herd in the Whole Herd TPR system. The department will need to know what calf crop you want to start with and your calving season. Q: Why is “feedlot” not utilized as a valid disposal? A: The disposal code 2 – sold for feeding should be used to indicate the animal was sold to a feedlot. Q: If calves are sold before they reach a year old, how do I report a yearling weight? A: When calves are sold before they are old enough to collect a yearling weight, a disposal code should be reported in place of the weight, providing a reason they left the herd (T – sold with papers, 1 – sold for breeding, 2 – sold for feeding, etc.).

“CHB Bites” is a column designed to keep you in-the-know about Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) program happenings. CHB LLC is celebrating 20 years with a “Farm-to-Fork” series featuring how Herefords become the ultimate eating experience. You can also follow CHB on Facebook at facebook.com/CertifiedHerefordBeef.

National Beef Packing Company Farm -toFork Part 1: Seedstock Part 2: Stocker Part 3: Feedlot Part 4: Packer Part 5: Retail Part 6: Foodservice Part 7: Consumer Part 8: Future

Did you know Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) LLC sold more than 50 million lb. of beef in fiscal year 2014, resulting in its best year ever? Since 2008 CHB sales have increased by 43%. “Much of the progress in brand growth can be attributed to a dynamic group of dedicated CHB professionals who work with the Association, along with the partnership forged with two quality-conscious beef packing companies — Greater Omaha Packing Co. Inc. and National Beef Packing Co. LLC,” says Craig Huffhines, former American Hereford Association executive vice president. “We are very proud of the team we have assembled and the daily focus we place on supply chain management and customer education.” This month we’re learning more about National Beef. Remember, most Hereford cattle have journeyed from a cowcalf farm or ranch to a stocker operation. Then, they made their way to the feedlot, where they were finished on grain. Those healthy, well-kept cattle are now ready to be sourced as CHB to enter the food chain by way of a packing plant.

/ April 2015

New distributors and increased demand for CHB continue to create demand for Hereford and Hereford-influenced cattle that can qualify for the CHB program. In 2014 packing facilities identified 362,624 live cattle, and more than 267,967 carcasses were certified for the program, with a certification rate of 74%. National Beef averages 4,500-5,000 CHB certified carcasses a week. Since the inception of the CHB program 19 years ago, 4.7 million live cattle have been identified and 2.9 million carcasses have been certified to carry the CHB name. The CHB board’s goal is to drive sales past the 100 million mark in the next five years. What about cattle inventories being at all-time lows? Will low numbers have an effect on the CHB program? Not according to Huffhines, “Our Association has experienced a 7% increase in cows on inventory and a 5.2% increase in registered yearling seedstock in fiscal year 2014.” Dale Venhuzien, CHB LLC president and Hereford breeder from Manhattan, Mont., adds, “We are very proud of the progress we have made in

growing the CHB brand. The opportunity is before us, and our product has stood the rigors of time. We fully expect the brand to expand and prosper both domestically and internationally over the next five years.” All of which would not be possible without the invaluable efforts of National Beef. National Beef was founded in 1992, when a location was purchased in Dodge City, Kan. Today, it is the fourth-largest beef processor in the nation with annual sales above $7 billion. Its products are available to national and regional retailers including independent grocers, supermarket chains, wholesalers, club stores, and foodservice distributors and providers. The company has facilities in Liberal, Kan.; Kansas City, Kan.; Dodge City, Kan.; Moultrie, Ga.; St. Joseph, Mo.; and Hummels Wharf, Pa., with corporate headquarters located in Kansas City, Mo. These facilities provide a workforce of 9,000 employees. National Beef’s success is built on its years of helping customers be successful by producing high-quality chilled, fresh, further-processed beef and beef byproducts. Primarily through its lines of branded boxed beef, caseready beef, portion-control beef and wet blue leather, National Beef continues to be a trustworthy supply partner At the forefront of its successful business model are the people with whom it partners. National Beef prefers to partner with producers of high-quality cattle, which makes for a perfect fit with CHB. Its goal is to Hereford.org

produce consistent quality products, and that is accomplished by working with producers that choose the best genetics for breeding and finish out with a grainfed diet, producing a steady supply of beef that its customers can rely on again and again. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a formula that embodies the essence of CHB. Along with partnering with great ranchers, there has to be a commitment to success and doing the job right. Knowing that every time you place an order you are going to receive a product that is consistent goes a long way toward ensuring success. Using innovative operational processes, National Beef delivers uniform product styling, enhanced tenderness and package presentation that are appealing. Its trade patented statistical process controls ensure consistent trim specifications and offer all customers the advantage of guaranteed product yield. National Beef also pioneers the most advanced technologies to ensure customizable packaging solutions, which allow its customers to strengthen their

bottom lines by reducing overhead through shrink reduction. However, with all that goes on from receiving cattle to completion of processing, standards of safety have to be met. National Beef goes above and beyond by being certified by British Retail Consortium standards of the Global Food Safety Initiative through the use of its own patented Biologic Food Safety System. National Beef has developed this system to be fully integrated companywide to include training employees, interventions, zone systems, and control and assessment functions. The National Beef website has a great video that walks the viewer through its commitment to safety. You can take a personal up-close view of the safety features of its plants, processes and procedures used by the exclusive four-part system at www.nationalbeef.com/ FoodSafety/Biologic/Pages/default.aspx. The consumer is ever-changing and todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s millennial generation is more

likely to be generations removed from the family farm. However, millennials still want to know how the food they eat is produced, while setting the bar high for wanting a good value and a great eating experience. Partnering with a valuable company like National Beef helps answer the most important questions consumers are interested in. CHB wants customers to know who Hereford breeders are, who the families are that dedicate their lives to producing the highest quality, most nutritious, tender beef available, and National Beef helps CHB do just that.

Wisconsin to Host 2016 Junior National Hereford Expo Hereford youth, their families and supporters, will travel to Madison, Wis., for the 17th annual Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). The event will run from Saturday, July 9 through Saturday, July 15, 2016. Members of Wisconsin JNHE host committee recently signed the contract to host the event at Madison’s Alliant Energy Center. National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members look forward to the JNHE all year, preparing not only their cattle, but also themselves, for a variety of fun-filled and educational activities and contests. The event will draw more than 2,500 people to Madison. “The JNHE is where lifetime Hereford friendships are made and future leaders are developed,” says NJHA Board Member Taryn Adcock, Assumption, Ill. “It is a week of fun, friends and family.” During the JNHE, youth can participate in 24 different contests, everything from quiz bowl to showmanship to the Great American Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) Grill-off. Also at the event, nearly $30,000 will be awarded in scholarship monies to NJHA members. Not to be forgotten is the highly competitive cattle show. Last year more than 610 exhibitors from 34 states entered 1,530 entries including: steers, cow-calf pairs, bred-and-owned bulls, junior AI bulls, bred-andowned heifers, junior AI heifers and owned heifers. The JNHE is much more than just a cattle show, but a highly anticipated Hereford event, giving youth not only a chance to show off a year’s Co-chairman of the 2016 Junior National Hereford worth of hard work, but also Expo (JNHE) — BJ Jones, Darlington, Wis., and Sondra to gain valuable lifelong skills Brancel, Endeavor Wis.,— signed the contract to host the 2016 JNHE at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, which will mold them into Wis.

Have You ‘Liked’ Us? Likes, tweets, snaps or posts — what does this jargon mean? These phrases are the lingo of the continually evolving social media boom. A Pew Research Center study from January 2015 stated that the top five social media platforms for 2014 were Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter. For the National Hereford Women (NHW), social media means we can connect and communicate with the majority of our members and breed advocates in real-time. The NHW has been actively using Facebook to share the

organization’s mission of promoting Herefords to the cattle buying public, educating future leaders of the Hereford breed and promoting Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) since the fall of 2012. In a little over two years, the page has gained more than 1,000 “Likes” and is growing daily. The Facebook page is serving the organization as a tool to disseminate messages, connect with members and share valuable breed information. If you are not a current follower of the NHW Facebook page, search “National Hereford Women” on Facebook or through any web browser.

Interacting on Facebook can be intimidating for some and second nature to others. We encourage members and industry affiliates to post to the NHW page, to tag us in posts and pictures, or to comment about and like our posts throughout the year. When you post to the NHW page, you may not see the post appear, but it will be on the left side of the screen under the “Post to Page” section. We are actively watching and interacting with page posts and will often repost the information provided by our followers. Have you had a question for the NHW but were unsure whom to contact? You can always message the NHW, and one of our board members will get back to you with an answer.

What other platforms does the NHW use? The NHW understands that a growing majority of our members are using

social media to gain information. We currently are using Facebook, Pinterest and Issuu to share our mission. Pinterest has been used largely to post pictures of the National Queen Program and still offers a lot of potential to showcase events and members’ activities tied to the promotion of Hereford cattle. Issuu is a free service that allows us to electronically publish the NHW newsletter. We can send out the newsletter from the website or share links through our Facebook page or email blasts.

What is the future for social media and NHW? The NHW plans to use only the platforms that our members are accessing. We have no current plans to expand outside of these three social media outlets, but are continuing to enhance the level of use. As the popularity of “hashtags” grows on Facebook, the NHW will embrace this change. Hashtags allow for a word or phrase to be clickable on a page to show more information about that word or phrase. Words or phrases that use a hashtag are also searchable through Facebook and search engines. The hashtags we use are #NHW, #Hereford, #CertifiedHerefordBeef and #CHB. The more information that is searchable helps promote the breed and our mission. If you are active in social media, be sure to start using some of these hashtags to promote Hereford cattle. Stop by the NHW Facebook and Pinterest pages, and view our newsletter on Issuu for up-to-date information. Our website, HerefordWomen.org, is also continually updated as NHW is working to promote the breed. HW

DAMS

Dams of Distinction

OF DISTINCTION

2,499 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 2014 Dam of Distinction, a cow must have: 1) Weaned a calf born since Jan. 1, 2013. 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, 2014. 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 2014 Dams of Distinction list recognizes 2,499 Hereford cows from 724 Hereford performance herds in 42 different states. For 34 years Rausch Herefords, Hoven, S.D., has led Hereford breeders with the most cows qualifying as Dams of Distinction. With 401 cows recognized, South Dakota is the top state again this year. A list of the top 20 states and top 20 breeders who have females recognized follows.

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. A list of the 99 sires recognized as Sires of Distinction follows.

Craig Huffhines has left a lasting impression on the Hereford breed. by Julie White

new horizon is before the Hereford breed, and the demand for Hereford genetics is as strong as ever. But as Hereford breeders move forward to meet the many opportunities and challenges head-on, they are saying a heartfelt goodbye to long-time leader and the face of Hereford, Craig Huffhines. Craig, who spent 18 years at the helm of the American Hereford Association (AHA), announced his resignation in February as he accepted the position of executive vice president of the American Quarter Horse Association with offices located in Amarillo, Texas. Originally hired in 1992 as director of feedlot and carcass programs for the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) program, he transitioned to CHB director in 1995, launching a fully aligned, breed-specific branded-beef program for the AHA. Craig was named AHA executive vice president on Sept. 1, 1997, and under his leadership, the AHA has incorporated the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program, which requires breeders to report every cow and calf, greatly strengthening the Hereford database. Craig’s industry involvement has included serving as president of the National Pedigreed Livestock Council and chairman of the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) emerging technologies committee. “Craig’s leadership role has helped the Hereford breed gain more market share and he has definitely been very well in tune with CHB and that helped drive the bull market we have today in the beef industry,” says Eric Walker, AHA president from Morrisonville, Tenn. “He gets along very well with people, which goes a long way in today’s industry. It has a positive

influence on everything and his ability to translate the Hereford message to the cattle industry in general has really helped us.”

The road to AHA Described as a young man with knowledge and a work ethic beyond his years, Craig came to the AHA via his master’s program. “I first met him at Texas A&M University when he was president of the Saddle and Sirloin Club,” remembers Gary Smith, Texas A&M department of animal science. “When I went to Colorado State University, I wrote a letter to Hop Dickenson, the AHA executive vice president at the time, telling him I thought the Hereford breed should develop a branded beef program. When the funding came, I couldn’t think of anyone better to come and work on a master’s degree and come and develop the CHB program than Craig.” He was soon recruited to Colorado State, where he completed his master’s degree in animal science and developed a brandedbeef program for the AHA. “He was such a remarkably hardworking, pleasant and personable and easy person to work with and he worked so effectively with others that it was just absolutely two of the most wonderful years I had as a teacher to get to work with Craig,” Gary adds. “It went so well that Hop was convinced if they were to develop such a program, he needed to bring Craig along and actually hire him at AHA and get him to run the program,” Gary says. “Hop did and the rest is history.”

Changing roles Craig worked five years for CHB until Hop’s retirement in 1997, allowing Craig the opportunity to switch roles.

here have been three generations of Shaws that were privileged to know and work with Craig. I, personally, have known and worked with him from the time he finished graduate school and started with AHA in the CHB position to the present and have considered him a friend as well as a colleague. He has always shown great leadership and people skills, and we will miss him at AHA. Happy trails, Craig — we know you’ll be very successful in your new position. Greg Shaw, Shaw Cattle Co., Caldwell, Idaho, 2002 AHA president

raig and I have become good friends, and I admire his ability as a leader to balance his job and his family with his spiritual life. From his start at the AHA, Craig understood that end-product merit and producing a product that the consumer valued were key to the long-term growth of the Hereford breed. But it is his balanced approach that sets him apart because he also understood that in the cattle industry, the needs of each individual can be different and even though he kept his eye on the end product, there are different ways to get there to keep producers profitable. Through his leadership, the members of the AHA are experiencing incredible times. He was a voice for the Hereford breed for various industry groups including the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the Beef Improvement Federation, the National Pedigreed Livestock Council, the World Hereford Council and others. His knowledge of the industry and his ability to convey this knowledge to various groups kept the Hereford breed at the table as policy and direction were being implemented by the beef cattle industry. It has been my pleasure to be a colleague and a friend, and I wish him and his family the best as they move into this next chapter of their lives. Jack Ward, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement

“1997 was certainly a transitional period in the Hereford business,” describes John Dudley, AHA Board member from 1991-1997 from Comanche, Texas. John also served on the search committee during this time. “We were still trying to regain our foothold you might say. Here we are in a situation with Hop, who had a long and distinguished career at the AHA, retiring. We had a lot of good things happening and we were also still going through the merger between the horned and polled Hereford associations and working to get things streamlined and launched in a new direction.” Craig joined the AHA staff after finishing his master’s at Colorado State University (CSU). During his time at CSU, he was involved in the CSU Monfort/ ConAgra Hereford study that lead to the development of the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) program.

John says during this dynamic time, the Board was focused on positioning the Hereford breed to move on to a bigger and brighter future as it was looking for new executive leadership. “It was a prestigious job and there were a lot of people interested in the job,” he remembers. “Craig brought very fine academic credentials, excellent work experience and youthful vigor, energy and enthusiasm. And that was all very necessary. The purebred cattle industry at any level, whether it be headquarter staff or a breeder at home on the ranch, is all about sales. And sales is about people skills and anybody

t was a special privilege to chair the AHA Board search committee for a new executive secretary for our organization in 1997. The committee was unanimously impressed with the enthusiasm and knowledge base that Craig Huffhines displayed. His knowledge of the beef cattle industry with a focus on efficient production directed at the consumer was especially appreciated, and his communication skill and vision for the future was impressive. We were confident he would carry forward a positive message for our organization. Rarely has the promise of youth coming to full fruition meant more to an organization. The AHA has been the beneficiary of the right decision at the right time. We are all indebted to him for his steady and progressive effort on our behalf.

that sits down with Craig Huffhines for a short or a long period realizes he has superb communication and people skills. I thought that was very important. He just rose to the top of people interested in the job and (he laughs) by God didn’t we make a good decision.” continued on page 42...

In 2000, Craig and Mary Jon led the U.S. contingency to the World Hereford Conference in Argentina.

As director of feedlot and carcass programs, Craig discussed the Genetic Outreach Program with Marvin Feddes, Manhattan, Mont., during a stop at Wm. R. Johnson’s ranch in Lagrange.

raig Huffhines has led our breed for as long as I remember being a part of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA). Growing up very involved in the Hereford breed, I always looked up to the way Mr. Huffhines led and how he was so charismatic with everyone he spoke with. When I think back about the many times I had the chance to talk with Mr. Huffhines, he always greeted me with a handshake and was always interested in speaking about the different things going on within the NJHA and even with my current educational path. Mr. Huffhines was a great role model and someone I looked up to while on the junior board. Brady Jensen, Courtland, Kan., NJHA chairman

he Hereford Breed has been fortunate to have great leaders, who, with their vision and direction, have kept the Hereford breed at the forefront of the beef industry. When I was chairman of the AHA Board, we saw an opportunity for a young Craig Huffhines to be our executive vice president and to move our breed forward. As close friends, we are proud for Craig, but as Hereford breeders, we will greatly miss his friendship and his leadership. He has always been very supportive of family operations and has had a lot of influence on our operation. We wish Craig and his family the best in their new venture. Craig Huffhines will always be a part of our Hereford family. Glynn Debter, Debter Hereford Farm, Horton, Ala., 1998 AHA president AHA hosted a breed-type conference in 2002. More than 300 Hereford breeders attended the event in Stillwater, Okla.

Attending the 2004 World Hereford Conference in Australia was Dale Venhuizen, AHA president at the time, Craig and other AHA staff members, Stacy Sanders and Jim Williams.

The face of Hereford Mary Ellen Hummel worked alongside Craig for 14 years as executive assistant and a total of 25 years at AHA until her retirement in 2013. “He was very young…he wasn’t 30 when he started,” she says. “But he navigated those early years well as the two associations were transitioning. He was always a people person who did well working in the industry. He was also really sharp and knowledgeable, always learning and always talking to people in the industry. He gained a working knowledge of everything associated with the Association in the years he led.” As Mary Ellen observed Craig and his wife, Mary Jon, raising their sons, Seth, Cole and Miles she noticed their faith and doing the right thing were important. They were involved in their church. “He is a very upstanding man. He was also extremely caring for anyone

Craig had a way with Hereford youth. Here, he is congratulating Bailey McKay at the 2005 Junior National Hereford Expo in Milwaukee, Wis., after she was named reserve champion peewee showman.

About the people “He loves people,” Gary says. After learning he was moving to AQHA, Gary sent him an email, to which Craig responded: “I’m really going to miss the people at the AHA because that’s my family. The people that I’ve worked with on the Board all those years and in the leadership positions, and the people on

From 2005 to 2008, AHA participated in at large-scale heterosis study in cooperation with California State University, Chico; Lacey Livestock; Harris Feeding Co.; and Harris Ranch Beef Co. Pictured here is the AHA Board visiting Harris Feeding Co. feedlot in Coalinga, Calif., in 2007.

who went through a difficult situation. He has compassion for both employees and breeders. He was always available to the breeders.” John says he knew once Craig settled into the job the Board had made a sound choice. “I could just tell from talking with other breeders and visiting with people involved with the Association, we were on the right track,” he says. “Craig is not only an effective leader, he is a good listener and he had a lot of innovative ideas to bring to the table. He was youthful and had all these great ideas, but he kept the rudder real straight and didn’t try to go too fast and in too many directions.” As years went by, John says Craig’s leadership was key in the resurgence of Hereford popularity. “It’s a combined effort — the cattle, the breeders and buyers all have to get to the finish line at the same time, but effective strong leadership at the helm is real important, and he provided that.”

raig Huffhines has been a strong, consistent, dedicated, resilient, high-integrity and high-energy leader of AHA and CHB for many years… but he is also approachable, collaborative, collegial and inspirational in his approach to breeders, Board members, AHA staff, industry partners, and past and present AHA youth. We have been blessed to enjoy his entire professional career to date. The first “up close” exposure my wife, Judy, and I had to Craig and Mary Jon was during the World Hereford Conference in Argentina several years ago. We saw firsthand his excellent leadership skills and his outstanding ability in representing U.S. Hereford breeders. My experience working with Craig continued as I served several years on the CHB Board and attended AHA meetings, events, shows and sales. All along the way, Craig has been a strong leader through both the challenging times of the past and the exciting and dynamic times we enjoy today. Craig has also attracted a tremendous staff and provided the leadership and support for them, helping AHA persevere and then progress into the outstanding breed it is today. While a number of people should be recognized for the current success the Hereford breed is enjoying in my opinion, no one deserves more credit than Craig Huffhines. Ed McMillan, industry representative, CHB LLC Board, Greenville, Ill.

our strong staff in Kansas City and all those people are just family to me and I’m going to miss them so much.” Gary also says, “The other thing that has made him so strong is his wife, Mary Jon. She’s been so supportive of him and is a tremendous asset to him in everything he’s done.” Eric adds, “We will miss his strong leadership and his ability to communicate with breeders. He can talk to the biggest breeder in the breed all the way down to the smallest breeder. He can communicate with anybody.”

Eric says Craig has been a champion for CHB for the past 20 years. “The Association owes Craig a great deal of gratitude for his years of service. He has been a true Hereford friend, a face of the Association and we owe him a great big thank you. We also owe a great deal of appreciation to his wife, Mary Jon, and his entire family. I know he has a great opportunity with AQHA, and the opportunity he has opened for himself also opens the door for someone to step into his role here and lead the Association forward.” HW

raig impressed me with his creativity. He arrived at the interview for the AHA executive vice president job with an ice chest of Hereford ribeye steaks. They were tiny. He felt the Association needed to address carcass issues and had ideas of how to do it. He was straightforward in discussing problems and innovative in solving them. Craig took the reins of the AHA at a most difficult time. Breeders were still learning to work together post-merger. Finances were tight and the Hereford breed was rapidly losing market share. Craig accepted the challenge with enthusiasm and optimism. He eagerly supplemented his industry knowledge with principles of management and finance. He welcomed new ideas from staff and breeders alike. Some of the decisions forced by circumstances during his early tenure were extremely unpopular. Craig took the heat and was undaunted. Today, we as breeders are reaping the rewards of those farsighted, but difficult decisions made under his leadership. Recent sale reports are concrete evidence of his success as the AHA leader.

Genetic

Factors that Affect

Fertility Identifying genetic markers in seedstock may increase fertility and profitability. by Heather Smith Thomas

ith genomic sequencing technology, it is now possible to find genetic markers for various traits including those that affect fertility in cattle, such as lethal recessive conditions. Alison Van Eenennaam, University of California-Davis (UC-Davis) cooperative extension specialist in animal genomics and biotechnology, is part of a research project focused on sequencing the genomes of bulls to identify genetic markers linked to fertility. The project is in its third year of a five-year grant funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture. “We started in January 2013 with Dave Patterson at University of Missouri (MU) as the leader for this integrated research project,” Van Eenennaam says. “The team at Missouri is genome sequencing a number of key bulls in various beef breeds and looking for what we call missing homozygotes in their descendants in the population.” Jared Decker, assistant professor of beef genetic extension and computational genomics, is part of this research team at MU. “So far we have sequenced more than 150 animals,” Decker says. “Our purpose

/ April 2015

in sequencing these is to find genes in which there is a DNA variant that breaks the gene. In other words, the gene no longer codes for a functioning protein. The protein that should be there is no longer being made correctly. Either that protein is too short or has the wrong amino acid in an important spot on the protein; there is a change to that protein that makes it not work properly anymore,” he says.

Finding the genes Decker says that most of these animals are perfectly normal if they are simply carriers of that gene with a protein defect. “If they have one normal copy and one broken copy they can use the protein from the normal copy,” he explains. “But if an embryo inherits two copies of the broken gene, one from each parent, this situation is incompatible with life and that embryo is aborted usually early on, before it becomes a fetus.” A rancher may purchase a new bull and wonders why that bull does not sire as many offspring as expected during a short breeding season or why the cows take several cycles to become pregnant. Usually the cows get the bad rap if

they conceive late in the season when in reality the problem may be a lethal allele inherited from both parents. The industry has known about these lethal recessives, embryonic lethals, for a long time. “Embryos don’t always ‘take’ for a number of different reasons, but some years back people began to wonder about a genetic component,” Van Eenennaam says. “If a bull is heterozygous for a given gene (inheriting two different alleles of a certain gene from each parent such as Aa rather than AA or aa), we would expect half of his offspring to inherit the big ‘A’ allele and the other half to inherit the little ‘a’ allele,” she says. When a bull is mated with a heterozygous dam, ¼ of his offspring would be expected to be homozygous aa. “However, there are situations where we never find any of his offspring with aa,” Van Eenennaam says. “We only see ⅔ of his progeny with the AA genotype and ⅓ with the Aa genotype. If we never see progeny with the aa genotype, this suggests that this particular combination is a lethal defect and the embryo does not survive. If we never find these aa animals in populations where we would Hereford.org

expect to see some, based on allele frequencies, then this combination is what we call a recessive lethal,” Van Eenennaam explains. What cattlemen would see is a cow that didn’t get pregnant until the second or third breeding because the conceptus from the first breeding(s) happened to inherit the aa genotype and did not survive. “We are hoping that if we can identify markers for these recessive lethal genes, this will give us information for mating selection strategies, to avoid mating two carriers of the same genetic condition,” she says. “This would improve the chances that a cow could get pregnant on the first heat cycle. “We’ve seen this phenomenon of missing homozygous genotypes in the large volumes of genetic data collected by the dairy industry. There were certain genes in which you never saw the homozygous genotypes even though you would expect to see them in a certain percentage of the calves. Even if the recessive allele is really rare, perhaps occurring in 1% of the population (one out of 100 animals), then you might expect to see it in the homozygous condition once in 10,000 animals. In the large dairy databases with hundreds of thousands of records, such homozygotes never appeared, even though they might have been expected to show up 8 or 9 times,” she explains. Dairy cattle researchers have used that information to pinpoint those particular genes and then sequenced the DNA at those genes. “They found there were mutations in those particular genes that caused them to stop functioning,” she says. “In the absence of those gene products, the embryo died.” Any conceptus that inherits two copies of a mutant recessive allele for those genes would not survive. “This occurs very soon after conception,” Decker says. “If you examine cows with ultrasound seven days after they have been bred, more than 90% of those matings result in an embryo. But if you look at those cows 45 days later, that percentage drops to about 60 to 66%. During those first 45 days we are losing a lot of pregnancies, and there is evidence suggesting that many of these early pregnancy losses Hereford.org

“We are hoping that if we can identify markers for these recessive lethal genes, this will give us information for mating selection strategies, to avoid mating two carriers of the same genetic condition. This would improve the chances that a cow could get pregnant on the first heat cycle.” — Alison Van Eenennaam are due to embryos inheriting two copies of a broken gene,” he says. “Research in Holsteins identified a couple pieces of DNA that carry these broken genes. These pieces are called haplotypes and are strings of variants on the same strand of DNA. If an embryo inherits two copies of these lethal haplotypes, the embryo is aborted,” Decker says. The cow would return to heat and her brief pregnancy would probably go unnoticed. That cow is likely to be culled because she calves late and maybe comes up open the next year. If the rancher has a short breeding season and takes the bulls out after a certain time, those cows don’t have a chance to rebreed. “The cows with lethal recessives usually have longer time intervals between calving and rebreeding,” Van Eenennaam says. “The dairy industry has an EPD for number of days from calving until the next pregnancy, and an increased interval can be seen in the EPDs when cows carry these recessive lethals.” Dairymen have started managing some of these problems in Holsteins.

Improving fertility “We are now looking for genetic markers linked to fertility in beef cattle,” she says. For cow-calf

producers, fertility is an important factor for profitability. The current research project is sequencing many prominent beef sires in different breeds that have many offspring. “We have tried to sequence the most commonly used bulls such as the most popular artificial insemination (AI) sires, so that we will be more likely to pick up the damaged genes that are floating around in those breeds,” Van Eenennaam says. This effort is being led by Jerry Taylor, MU professor of genetics and animal sciences, who is looking for any mutations in those bulls that would be predicted to either damage or totally turn off a gene. The researchers will then cross-compare these with essential genes (certain genes that are known to be required for life) and see if there is any overlap. Mutations in these essential genes might be the ones predicted to be problematic. “This grant project will develop a research chip in which we can check for all the different predicted damaged/ mutated genes,” Van Eenennaam says. “We will genotype 10,000 animals, using this chip. Some genes will be apparently non-functional but we still have live homozygous animals. But if there are any missing homozygotes of the identical mutations, this would be very strong evidence that it actually is a lethal allele.” Dave Patterson, MU animal science professor, is in charge of getting the 10,000 animals together as part of the Show-Me Select heifer development program. The proposed outcome is a chip that includes all the recessive alleles that result in embryonic lethality. Animals carrying these alleles would be candidates for more careful mating selection to avoid producing affected homozygous offspring. Researchers at UC-Davis in collaboration with Brian Kinghorn at the University of New England are simultaneously developing a computer software program to assign mate allocations, determining which bulls to mate to which cows, to avoid double heterozygous matings. “If we find multiple lethal alleles, like 20 or so, it’s not the end of the world,” Van Eenennaam explains. “It just means that breeders need to know continued on page 48...

... Genetic Factors that Affect Fertility continued from page 47

the genotypes for those particular alleles. And it might be that the gene frequency for the mutant form is really low. If only one animal in 100 carries it, this wouldn’t have a huge impact in terms of embryo loss because you’d have to mate it with another animal that carries that allele. And even then there’s only a 25% chance that the embryo would inherit both copies. In a random mating population that would be one embryo loss in 40,000 matings,” she says. “We are looking at whether certain lethal recessives appear in just one breed or in several. If it’s just in one breed, crossbreeding would take care of the problem because it would never be doubled up. We know that crossbreeding enhances fertility, and this could be one of the underlying contributing factors to that increase in fertility,” she says. Even though lethal recessives do not show up as obvious problems like curly calf, fawn calf, dwarfism, hairlessness, calves with no legs, calves with spinal defects, hydrocephalic calves, etc., purebred breeders should be aware that they do affect reproduction rates. “It is more likely that animals within a breed will share some co-ancestry and are thus more likely, just by chance, to have some of these alleles at the same gene,” Van Eenennaam says. “There is a reason why hybrid vigor exists.” There are also more genes to draw from when crossbreeding and less chance for double recessive traits and lethals. Mutations occur in all animals all the time. Most of these mutations don’t have any adverse effects — the animal is healthy and normal. “In nature, these recessive mutations are not doubled up very often,” Van Eenennaam says. “Cattle are outbreeding species under natural conditions. If one parent carries a mutant form of a particular allele, we usually inherit the normal form from the other parent. Offspring rarely inherit the mutant form from both parents. That would only occur when both parents are carriers,” she says The situation changes when populations are limited in their gene

pool. “If there is some co-ancestry in the pedigree, and if the mutant form of the allele comes from both the sire and the dam because they shared a great grandsire, for instance, this can result in the inheritance of a recessive lethal allele from both parents,” she explains. “These situations are very common in purebred animals because there are prominent founding sires or popular bloodlines that get doubled up. This is the same thing that results with genetic mutations that create abnormal phenotypes (curly calf, dwarfism, etc). But you don’t see lethal recessives because the embryo’s genetic makeup is incompatible with life.”

Making decisions Van Eenennaam says cattlemen need to be sensible about how they manage breeding decisions. “We know these lethals exist, so we need to know which individuals are carrying which alleles,” she says. “Then we can more intelligently manage them. Ideally we’d prefer to not mate two heterozygotes for that particular loci. When you just have one mutation to deal with, it’s relatively easy if the mutant allele frequency is not very high. But when there are 20 or more, every animal will probably be carrying one or two mutant alleles. If you have some knowledge about which ones they have, or which pedigrees these are coming from, you can make better selections about which animals to mate those animals to.” At the very least, Van Eenennaam says producers can get an idea about the genetic load of a certain animal, and some will have more than others. “There is some value in having fewer of the deleterious recessives,” she says. Breeders do not need to avoid carriers entirely as this might hinder genetic progress by putting too much weight on certain genetic conditions and not enough on the remaining genetic merit of the animal. “People often think they don’t want any carriers in their herd. If you made that decision about these 20-plus alleles, however, you might not have any animals left in your herd,” she explains. “Recessive lethals should always be expected, but they are usually at low

frequency and can be managed to avoid affected offspring.” Identifying carrier animals, however, would be a way to enable breeders to avoid having embryonic losses. “More cows and heifers would likely settle on the first breeding which has many benefits,” Van Eenennaam says. “Given the value of fertility in every cattle operation, even a 2% increase in conception rates on the first breeding is worth a lot.” If breeders are not strict in selecting for fertility, this problem can quietly build up in a herd such as when cows calve late and are not culled from the herd. “This allows these variants to creep up to a higher level in a herd,” Decker says. “The good news is that after we identify hundreds, maybe thousands, of variants this will enable us to create an EPD for embryonic loss. Now we will have a tool that can help us make progress in controlling this aspect of infertility and improve pregnancy rates.” As more is learned, cattle can be tested for these mutations. Genetic tests provide more tools for making good mating selections when breeding cattle. “This data can eventually include matching a female up with the right bull that doesn’t carry the same set of broken genes,” Decker says. “We will have an EPD based on a genomic test. Compared to the other genomic predictions such as for weaning weight, ribeye area, marbling, etc., this EPD will be more specific. The DNA variants used in most genomic predictions are like mile markers along the chromosome. They are not actually the DNA variants that cause the differences between animals. But with this genomic prediction for embryonic mortality, instead of the mile markers we have the points of interest. This test will be unique because we will be testing the variant that is responsible for the phenotype. It’s not just a nearby marker; it will be the variant responsible for the trait we are interested in. That’s one of the unique things about this project and about the genomic predictions that will come out of it.” HW Hereford.org

Commercially Focused Genetic change through research continues to help Hereford’s resurgence in the industry. by Sara Gugelmeyer

Hereford is the perfect Angus complement, according to Lorna Marshall, who is the Genex U.S. Beef Marketing Manager. When she spoke at the Hereford Genetic Summit last September, she highlighted what Hereford breeders have always known but recently proved and improved. Hereford’s strengths are maternal efficiency, docility, moderate milk and hardiness. And in the last ten years, Hereford breeders have really focused on raising cattle that are light birth weight but have rapid early growth and moderate mature size, said Marshall. Research projects like those in conjunction with Harris Ranch, Circle A Ranch and Simplot Livestock Co. have helped prove Hereford’s value in the marketplace. (For more on those projects, log on to Hereford.org and choose “Value of Hereford Genetics” under the “Commercial” menu.) But, breeders’ commitment to Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) since 2000 has been vital to new traits recently released and still in development through the American Hereford Association (AHA). “We understand that the most important economically relevant trait to commercial cattlemen’s profitability is fertility,” says Jack Ward, AHA director of breed improvement. “Whole Herd Reporting has allowed us to develop traits of sustained cow fertility and heifer calving rate to document fertility in the Hereford breed and the genetics responsible for making progress.” The research for those two new traits, along with a new feed intake expected progeny difference (EPD), will be complete this spring. The AHA Board of Directors will hear the report at the April Board meeting,

and then those three new traits will be added to indexes this fall. “This will make our indexes that much more powerful for our breeders to use to provide the right kind of information to their customers — commercial cattlemen,” Ward says. Feed intake will be especially useful as part of the Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) but also important to the cow-calf operator, Ward points out. “The feedyard is calling for it, and we need to help those throughout the industry select genetically for cattle which require less inputs,” Ward says. Freshly available to breeders are the new udder EPDs, udder suspension (UDDR) and teat size (TEAT), which were released in December 2014. “One of the big concerns of commercial cattlemen about Hereford cattle was udder quality,” Ward says. “Although that is considered more of a convenience trait, it is economically relevant. Commercial cattlemen do not have time to work through issues associated with udder and teat quality. Breeders have made huge progress and selected against udders and teats that require maintenance, but we now have a very useful pair of EPDs for them to continue to document this progress.” Congratulations on the progress made, but keep working with your knife sharp and minds open, Marshall remarked at the conclusion of her presentation during the Hereford Genetic Summit. All these new genetic tools can help breeders do just that. “That’s what Lorna was pointing out,” Ward says. “We’ve taken the issues head on and developed traits that can be very useful to our membership. Now we’ve got to use them.” HW Hereford.org

Sizzling Hot San Antonio Highlights of the 2015 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show.

ore than 8,200 cattlemen and women from across the country attended the 2015 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 4-7. This convention is the largest annual gathering of the beef industry, and this year’s event broke the attendance record set in Nashville, Tenn., two years earlier. The convention hosted cattle industry enthusiasts for a week of education, entertainment, committee meetings and policy development. The event included joint and individual meetings sponsored by five industry organizations: NCBA, the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion & Research Board (CBB), the American National

Leadership CattleWomen Inc. (ANCW), CattleFax and the National Cattlemen’s Foundation (NCF). This year’s trade show was the largest to date, featuring 360 exhibitors. On the trade show floor were two education areas, including a demonstration area with live animals to provide handson instruction. NCBA’s Learning Lounge presented 30-minute educational sessions to provide attendees valuable educational tips

Philip Ellis, a fifth-generation Wyoming cattleman, succeeded Bob McCan as NCBA president during the association’s board of directors meeting. “It was a great honor for me to take the gavel and begin my term as president of NCBA in San Antonio,” Ellis says. “The fact that our organization and our industry are riding a wave of optimism right now made the occasion even more enjoyable for all of us who gathered to participate in the 2015 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show. We set a record for attendance at the meeting and the level of participation was very encouraging. It shows that we are on the right path and I believe we have a great deal to look forward to in the year ahead.” Ellis stewards a commercial cow-calf operation, Marsh and Ellis Ranch, LLC, in Bear Creek

Valley in southeastern Wyoming. Originally, the Marsh and Ellis Ranch was a purebred Hereford herd, but now it is a commercial cow and yearling operation with Red Angus and Hereford cross cattle. The new NCBA president-elect is Tracy Brunner of Kansas. Craig Uden of Nebraska is NCBA’s vice president; Jennifer Houston of Tennessee was selected as chair of the federation division; and Kevin Kester of California will serve as chairman of the policy division. New to the 2015 officer team is Steve Hanson of Nebraska, who will serve as vice chairman of the federation division. Vice chairman of the policy division is Steve Scott of Tennessee, and serving as treasurer is Hereford breeder Richard Gebhart of Oklahoma.

Cattlemen’s College The Cattle Industry Convention kicked off with two days of producer education on Feb. 3 and 4. Cattlemen’s College has become widely known as one of the most thorough, in-depth educational events offered to cattlemen and women in the country. Celebrating its 22nd year, the event saw outstanding attendance with more than 1,350 attendees. Hands-on cattle demonstrations kicked off the event Tuesday night, highlighting how beef producers can add value to their market cows. Industry experts, including Dr. Gary Smith, Dr. Keith Belk and Dr. Dale Woerner, explained how cattlemen can improve the quality, consistency and competitiveness of beef produced from market cows through management decisions on the farm or ranch. Also, as part of the industry’s effort to increase producer education, the checkoff-funded Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program introduced and updated “Cattle Care and Handling Guidelines” at the Producer’s Forum Tuesday evening. The guidelines, which are industry-wide standards for cattle care and handling, now include the 2014 BQA supplemental guidelines, Hereford.org

advice on cold stress management and guidelines for the judicious use of antibiotics in the cattle industry. “Cattlemen take great pride in properly caring for their livestock and the BQA program has proven very successful in providing guidelines that producers can adapt to fit their needs,” said Josh White, director of producer education for the NCBA. “This refreshed handbook provides additional information with updated graphics and a revised look.”

Cattlemen’s College started back up early Wednesday morning with a keynote address by Chef Mike Erickson, who is a champion at connecting consumers to how beef is raised. Erickson advocates for the beef industry and dedicates his time to teaching others in the culinary arts about how beef gets from pasture to plate. “I think it is important for people in the culinary world to understand how beef is raised and continued on page 58...

CattleFax predicts strong prices to remain in 2015 The CattleFax Outlook Session on Feb. 5 at the 2015 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show gave cattlemen and women reasons to be optimistic. Analysts told the capacity crowd to expect fed cattle prices averaging in the mid-$150s, slightly higher than last year. Prices will trade in a range from near $140 at the lows to near $170 at the highs in the year ahead while early year highs for 550 lb. steers will range from near $285 to lows near $235. Analysts cited the improved forage situation, lower grain prices and record margins in 2014 for feeders and stockers as the primary reasons cow-calf producers will remain in the driver’s seat for the year ahead. Despite exceptional prices in 2014, CattleFax CEO Randy Blach said he expects the market peak is behind the cattle industry now. “We put the top in the market in the past year and the signal for expansion has been transmitted,” he said. “We will begin to see some modest expansion in herd numbers now and that will cause prices to trend lower in the years ahead than what we saw in 2014.” He explained that growing supplies of cattle and beef over the next several years will rebalance the normal price and margin environment among industry segments. “Prices will then retreat back to the lower end of the new trading range,” said Blach. Despite the adjustment, he explained that cow-calf producers will continue to see relatively strong returns over the next four to five years, aided by corn prices expected to average $3.60 per bushel in 2015 and an improved forage production picture. Art Douglas, Ph.D., professor emeritus at Creighton University, presented the annual weather forecast, which projects moisture conditions in the United States through the summer. “El Nino conditions have again built across the Pacific and this will fuel a split jet stream pattern into the Southwestern United States. Moisture will gradually increase in February from southern California to the southern High Plains,” said Douglas. “Snowpacks in the northern Rockies are expected to remain well below normal at 50-70 percent levels while the southern Rockies should gradually build their snowpack through March. As the jet heads east it will pick up Gulf moisture and lead to above normal rainfall throughout the southeast. “The pesky ridge in the West will gradually weaken during February and by the spring this will allow moisture to increase in the Pacific Northwest,” he explained. “A strong Great Lakes trough is forecast to keep a broad portion of the United States colder than normal through the spring and early summer.” Douglas said this pattern should lead to delayed planting in the Corn Belt with possible threat of late frosts into the late spring. “The cool temperatures are likely to persist into early summer and this will slow crop progress but be ideal for corn pollination in July. The silver lining in the forecast is that the Midwest should turn warmer by August and September and this will help speed up crop maturation,” he said. HW

Producers offered free BQA certification During the annual Cattle Industry Convention, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. (BIVI) announced a Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) free-certification period through April 15. Beef producers can take advantage of free BQA certification online courtesy of BIVI and the BQA program, funded in part by the beef checkoff. BQA helps increase consumer confidence in the beef industry by demonstrating that the industry strives to produce a safe, wholesome product. All segments of the industry can benefit from becoming BQA-certified, including producers from cow-calf, dairy, stocker and feedyard operations and anyone affiliated with those segments. With an overall focus on animal handling and disease treatment and prevention, online certification modules are customized to meet each segment’s needs. “The beef industry has embraced BQA as the right thing to do for our industry. BQA certification helps producers share with consumers their commitment and pride in raising quality beef,” says Josh White, executive director of producer education and the national BQA program leader. “The partnership with BIVI helps encourage producers and their employees to become certified.” Beyond reinforcing industry best practices for cattle production, obtaining BQA certification can be a useful tool in an ever-changing industry landscape where consumers want to be assured they are receiving a product raised in ways that align with BQA. Certification in BQA is rapidly increasing through the partnership of free online certifications from BIVI, now entering its third year. More than 16,000 have enrolled in the BQA free-certification program since BIVI partnered with BQA in 2013 — an impressive number that reflects both beef and dairy producers’ commitment to producing a quality beef product.

get to know the people who spend their lives producing such a fine product for us,” said Erickson. “If those of us preparing the beef are educated on how it is raised, we can help spread the positive story of beef. The cattle industry has so much good going for it and we have to get that message out to people.” Throughout the day, attendees could choose from a wide range of informative, hands-on educational workshops designed for cattle operations of every size and sector. Classes ranged from understanding the economics of rebuilding the domestic herd and land and water rights issues in the United States to proper cattle nutrition and the future use of antibiotics in food animals. Each session delivered stimulating and thought-provoking information to help cattlemen and women generate higher returns back home on the ranch.
