Talent vs. Hard Work

/ April 2016

It came as a shock and was followed by a knot in my stomach. I had never before seen the third, fourth or fifth letter of the alphabet on a test let alone a report card. But there it was in crimson red on a final test — “D-.” I breezed through elementary, junior high and high school classes basically making straight “A’s” and hardly needing to study except putting in a few hours for a couple of dual credit courses through the local college. I knew full and well I had been struggling in macroeconomics during my first semester at college. It was mostly pride that kept me from getting help early on when the grad student leading the lectures covered the material at a much faster pace than I was used to. After not doing so well on a midterm, I just told myself, “It’s OK, and you’re good at school. This stuff will click and you will be on your way to another list of A’s.” Somehow I limped out of that course with a passing grade accompanied by a wake-up call. Talent can only take me so far. Returning to school after winter break, I had a newfound respect for studying coursework and spent that semester forming new habits. Not only does hard work complement talent, but hard work creates proficiency where talent lacks. In the 18 months I’ve worked for Hereford

breeders, I have found interest in the breed to be nothing but exceptional, and the demand has proven it. Cattlemen are finding the Hereford breed’s attributes desirable, and breeders are capitalizing on this desirability by providing their customers high quality genetics. The flip side to this is another great story. In the short time I have been focusing my time and energy on Hereford cattle, three new traits have been released as part of the genetic evaluation — udder suspension, teat size and carcass weight. In addition, new fertility rates (Heifer Calving Rate and Sustained Cow Fertility) were released last year as a research analysis. Along with those, Dry Matter Intake was also developed and released as a research analysis. More and more breeders are employing genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) and utilizing increased accuracies. It’s exciting to see Hereford breeders work hard to learn and utilize tools available to improve their cattle. It may not come naturally for all to decipher numbers and traits, but those who learn the tools will reap benefits.

In this issue This month we recognize 2,385 Dams of Distinction and 85 Sires of Distinction. 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). These cows meet the highest standards of commercial cattle production (see Page 32). The Sires of Distinction program recognizes superior Hereford bulls that sire efficient, fertile and productive females. See Page 38 for the list of bulls honored. Turn to Page 44 to learn more about the 2016 Hereford Innovator Award winner, Lowell Atwood from Stanford, Ky., and how he has worked to help Hereford breeders receive a fair price for their Hereford and Hereford-cross calves. The AHA’s online registry system, MyHerd.org, continues to add new features and provide training for breeders to get the most out of the program. In this issue we review the online animal transfer feature. Flip to Page 50 for information on how to get the most out of MyHerd, learn about the “Personal List” feature and read through detailed animal transfer FAQs. Also in this issue are results of the Fort Worth National Hereford Show on Page 60. I hope this April issue finds you in the midst of a beautiful spring. HW

‘He Wants It All,’ but What Does It Mean?

/ April 2016

During the CattleFax report at the Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Trade Show in late January, it was clear to see that the U.S. cattle herd is expanding. Just as severe drought from 2010 to 2012 reduced numbers to 60-year lows, record-high prices in 2014 and abundant moisture have allowed ranchers to rebuild herds at a fast pace. “We are coming off historic highs in the cattle market, created by unique conditions in both the global and domestic protein markets,” said Randy Blach, CattleFax CEO, on Jan. 29 at the convention. “Dynamics, specifically larger protein supplies, led to a significant correction in price in 2015. A large portion of the market downtrend is over now. However, the cycle shows prices continuing to trend lower in 2016, 2017 and 2018.”

“Identify the genetics that work, listen to your customer and keep making sound breeding decisions.” — Jack Ward However, John Nalivka, president of Sterling Marketing Inc., Vale, Ore., said, “We’ve seen four to five years of strong profits for cow-calf operations, and even with expected lower prices this year, average cow-calf profits should remain near $250 per cow. Historically, that’s very good.” As producers continue to rebuild, the focus does seem to be on the cow herd, but as the American Hereford Association (AHA) national ad tagline suggests, “He wants it all.” Commercial producers are looking to add some heterosis to their cow herd to help with economically relevant traits, like fertility, that are lowly heritable and are boosted more through an alternate breed for an F1 cow. But, this cow has to do it all. Not only must she get bred, but she must calve unassisted, be easy to handle and raise a calf with some weight — and she must also do it with minimal inputs. Then, that calf must wean with no health issues, grow efficiently and then produce a carcass that has value and will be demanded and accepted by the consumer.

What does “doing it all” mean to the Hereford breed? It means Hereford has a great opportunity to be the breed of choice as the cow herd continues to expand. It has been proven over time that Hereford cattle have the ability to adapt to various environments and should be a key component in a commercial cow herd because of reproductive and maintenance efficiency, disposition and structural soundness, but these traits are not enough — “He wants it all.” So, breeders need balanced selection that focuses on all parts of the industry. The tools are available today and are backed by Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™), a comprehensive young sire test and genomics to make selections that can have a positive effect at all levels of production. As the margins get tighter in the cow-calf sector, the opportunity for Hereford genetics in the U.S. cattle herd gets greater. Identify the genetics that work, listen to your customers and keep making sound breeding decisions. HW

The Upper Hand

/ April 2016

As bull season is winding down, commercial producers will be turning out their new purchases to advance their herds. In my opinion, there is no better sight than cow-calf pairs running on green grass with a herd bull looking to make his mark. Even though sales have been down compared to last year’s record year, many producers have marketed more bulls than ever with their second-highest sale averages to date. This accomplishment is very impressive considering a down calf market and the uncertainty in the global economy. The success of these sales can be attributed to many reasons, but the fact is more and more cattlemen are regaining trust in Hereford genetics. It’s been no secret that black or red baldies are considered the best females in the industry. The simple benefit of heterosis has been well documented and proves

a definite advantage in terms of health, performance and fertility. Hereford genetics are able to contribute more than ever before. With traits such as udder suspension and teat size being added into the evaluation along with marked improvements in calving ease and birth weight expected progeny differences (EPDs), commercial breeders are finding comfort in these females. With that said, producers cannot overlook the steer mates to these good replacement daughters. The fed cattle industry understands quality genetics and, in most cases, will pay for them. As margins get tighter, feeders will continue to rely on cattle that can perform and reach premiums for end product merit. Hereford breeders, through disciplined breeding decisions, have made marked improvement in marbling and ribeye area as well as growth in trait EPDs. As a result, the potential is there for these cattle to excel at all levels.

The key here, though, is telling the story, and many of you have been. But in order to keep the commercial cattlemen coming back year after year, there has to be a vested interest on your part as breeders. Beyond taking advantage of the tools available to improve genetics and upholding strict culling standards is the need to help the commercial guy take advantage of the genetics he is using from your seedstock herd whether that’s giving a discount at next year’s sale for the guys that retain ownership or if it’s simply being at the local sale barn to insure your genetics are well represented. The bottom-line is that you as breeders have to continue to build brand loyalty with your customer base. Many of you have ranch names, and these feeder cattle need to carry those names with them all the way through as if they were wearing the name like a brand on their hip. After all, you should feel proud of your genetics and the progress made. Why not pass it on to the next guy? In closing, I would like to say that the Hereford breed has the upper hand right know — because in order to put that white face on the coveted baldie those commercial breeders have to come to you, the seedstock breeders. But, to keep the upper hand will require every breeder staying committed to keeping a balance of maternal focus and end-product merit, so every segment of the industry enjoys success. HW

Whole Herd Total Performance Record (TPR™) reminders Weaning and yearling weights As spring grass grows and calves get older, it’s time to wean fall calves and, perhaps, collect yearling data. Remember the weaning age window is from 110 to 300 days and the acceptable age range window for collecting yearling weights is from 301 to 530 days of age. A management code must be reported with each weaning weight and yearling weight. See Table 1 for weaning management codes and Table 2 for yearling management codes below. • Group codes: If a group of calves is managed differently or raised in a different environment than the general calf crop, a group code should be reported in addition to the management code. For instance, calves raised at a different location than calves raised on the farm should be coded differently. Group codes don’t have to be reported if all calves were raised the same.

Ultrasound Breeders are encouraged to scan as much of their calf crop as they can, especially replacement females, young bulls and heifers offered for sale. The Gold TPR award requires 25% of the calf crop to be scanned. Hereford cattle must be between 301 and 530 days of age to be scanned if the data is to be included in genetic evaluation. Cattle outside these parameters may be scanned but will not be included in the evaluation. • Ultrasound data is optional; however, it should be collected at the same time as yearling data. • It’s not required that the entire calf crop be scanned. The only requirement for ultrasound data to be included in the genetic evaluation is to have a weaning weight recorded on each scanned animal. • Ultrasound results are sent directly to the American Hereford Association (AHA) from the ultrasound processing lab. • Do not submit scrotal measurements on the barn sheet. The ultrasound lab doesn’t process the measurements, and the AHA doesn’t receive the original barn sheet. Scrotal measurements should be submitted with yearling weights separate from ultrasound.

FAQ Q: When does my junior membership expire? A: Junior memberships expire on the 22nd birthday of the junior member. All junior members must pay annual membership dues ($15) in order to participate in the programs and activities offered through the AHA and the National Junior Hereford Association. The membership renewal date is Sept. 1 of each year. Note: If a junior has not turned 22 years of age by Jan. 1,

the junior can still participate in the Junior National Hereford Expo that year. Q: I have three kids and they each have their own online registry account. Is there a way to add or link their accounts to our ranch’s online registry account and be able to do all registration work in one place? A: If your herd is comprised of animals of multiple membership accounts (family members, children, partners, etc.), it’s best to link all associated accounts to one master account because it makes it easier to submit registration and performance data as one herd. Ownership of the animals within each account will not be changed, and there’s no additional charge. Contact AHA customer service to designate a master account and to link associated accounts. Note: The designated master account will receive all future herd inventories and general correspondence from the AHA regarding the herd. Q: I received a packing slip in the mail for the calves I submitted for registration but the registration certificates weren’t included. Why haven’t the registration certificates been mailed? A: Appropriate registration fees must accompany the registration application(s) if submitted by mail and all registration charges incurred on MyHerd.org must be paid before any registration certificates can be mailed out. Call AHA customer service to pay with a credit card over the phone or mail a check to pay for registration charges. Remember AHA has a first-in first-out policy. When a payment is made, the work is released in the order it was received. HW

The Importance of Networking As a kid growing up, I heard “network.” Make sure you network while you are on your trip. While in middle school and high school, I always thought to myself, “Why do I need to network? I am 15 years old. I don’t need to know that many people, just my friends.” Little did I know, networking is one of the most important things you can do through your youth. Networking is especially important by the time you finish college. First, we have to figure out what networking really is and how to properly network. Then there are so many benefits from networking like getting jobs, winning scholarships and marketing your livestock.

Networking defined So what is networking exactly? Networking is defined as “an

/ April 2016

interaction with other people to exchange information and develop contacts, especially to further one’s career.” The definition is pretty simple: meeting people to help you in your future. What are some key things to remember when trying to network? My first suggestion is always to use a good, firm handshake with eye contact. The first impression is a lasting one, so why not make it the best that it can be. When you are meeting someone for the first time, don’t forget to smile. A simple smile will always cheer someone up and help you ease into a good conversation. The next tip for being successful while networking is sharing your passion. The majority of the people that I have networked with in my life have been from the ag community, and they have the same passion about livestock that I do. Having a well-rounded conversation is easy to have. The fourth tip is don’t be afraid to just talk. I promise if you want to meet someone and feel as if they will be able to help you at some point in your career, try to start a conversation with them. If they just turn the other way and won’t talk and mingle with you, trust me, you do not need them in your networking circle. Finally, don’t forget to follow up. It never hurts to ask him/her the best way to stay in touch or simply ask, “May I have your e-mail or phone number in case I have a question?”

Networking matters Now that you know what networking is and a few “how-to” tips to remember, next comes the big question: What can networking really do for me? Right now in my life is where all the time I have networked should pay off. I will be graduating from college this spring, and I will be looking for a “big

boy” job. Personally, this is the most important part about networking, helping me find the perfect job. Over the years that I have been involved in the livestock industry, I have met a lot of people, and I hope one day that I will be able to call someone that I met and ask them for a reference or help in setting up an interview. This goes back to my other point: never be afraid to ask someone to put in a good word for you or for their help. The next key goal that you should take away from networking is obtaining scholarships. You all know that college isn’t cheap and that every penny helps. Networking is a huge way to help receive scholarships. If you meet a leader in your community or in the ag field, he/she could possible write you a great letter of recommendation, while you are applying for a scholarship. The third and final goal that you should take away from networking is selling and buying cattle. The more people you know will make marketing your cattle easier. For example, if you met the owner of an operation and know that he loves dark red, goggled-eyed bulls and you have one for sale, you could give him a call and let him know what you have for sale. Since I am a college student on a budget, I cannot attend every sale. Therefore, if I see a heifer that I am interested in, I will call someone that I have networked with to take a look for me. As you can tell, networking is something that you should all take seriously, no matter your age. So the next time you are at a cattle show or an event, don’t be afraid to go up to someone that you don’t know and just talk to them. Give that person a firm handshake with eye contact and smile. You never know; one day that person might be your boss or, possibly, a buyer at your bull sale. HW Hereford.org

Join HYFA for a Wine Country Weekend The Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) invites Hereford breeders, enthusiasts and supporters to save the date and make plans to attend “The Harvest II” fundraiser event at Kunde Family Winery in Sonoma, Calif., Aug. 26-27, 2016. “The Harvest II” will be hosted by the Jim and Marcia Mickelson family with all proceeds going to HYFA’s Growing a Lasting Legacy campaign to benefit leadership and educational events for Hereford youth across the nation. “In 2011, we hosted the first harvest fundraiser and people are still talking about their amazing trip to California,” says Amy Cowan, HYFA director. “So part II is sure to be another unforgettable wine country experience for all who attend.” The event will start at Kunde Family Winery outside Sonoma on Aug. 26 with a casual dinner and entertainment by master magician and comic Jay Alexander. Saturday will include area tours, tastings and a special visit to Sonoma Mountain Herefords in Santa Rosa.

/ April 2016

The highlight of the wine country weekend will be Saturday evening’s sale featuring some of the breed’s most elite genetics. The sale will take place on Kunde’s famous Boot Hill that has been the setting for numerous film productions. Perched high above Sonoma Valley on the steps of the Mayacamas Mountains, Boot Hill boasts a panoramic 360-degree view of the 1,850acre Kunde Family Winery. This secluded site, marked by a towering grove of valley oaks, will provide a stunning backdrop for the evening’s meal and entertainment. The auction not only will feature embryos from the breed’s most prominent donors, flushes and heifer calf pregnancies but will offer some one-of-a-kind silent and live auction items including vacation getaways, exquisite artwork and something special for everyone. Guests will stay at the Sheraton Sonoma County in Petaluma. The Sheraton’s resort-like setting overlooks the river and the hotel has been named by Travel and Leisure

magazine as one of the “Nation’s Top 10 Getaways near a Major City,” making it an oasis in wine country. “The Harvest II” event pricing and travel details are available on HerefordYouthFoundation.org, and hotel rooms will be included in the registration fee. We are currently seeking consignments to the sale. Anyone interested in being part of this history-making event in California’s wine country, please contact Amy Cowan at acowan@hereford.org or 816-842-3757. In 2011 “The Harvest” auction raised more than $292,000 to support Hereford youth. We look forward to surpassing that goal and doing even more to benefit the educational and leadership programs for the members of the National Junior Hereford Association. So, please mark your calendar, book your flight to California and register today. We look forward to seeing you all as we celebrate Hereford youth during HYFA’s wine country weekend, Aug. 26-27. HW

A Powerful Investment We are welcoming spring! Hopefully you are beginning to see the ground thaw out in some parts of the country and the mud drying up in other parts. Our cattle start shedding the dead winter hair, and everyone seems to be happy about going outside and working a little longer with the increase of daylight. With spring I look forward to green grass and flowers popping out of the ground. I am not saying I am ready for the summer heat, just longer days and a slight increase in the temperature. Spring is also time to invest in National Hereford Women (NHW) by paying your annual dues. My family believes in paying dues to an organization or association that we believe in. By paying dues, you are investing in that organization. We believe certain organizations can give back to us in so many ways. Why invest in the NHW, you ask? NHW provides awesome programs for our Hereford youth. It gives through scholarships, contests and the National Queen Program. Hereford youth is our mission, our future and our common ground. We, NHW members, do this for the future of our breed. By investing in an organization such as NHW, you will see firsthand

the power of youth just by reading the Hereford World. Our youth are involved in so many ways: • Leadership – we have a powerful junior board and state junior leaders. • At home – our youth are on the ranch or farm helping alongside their parents. • Shows – our juniors are invested in every facet of the showring and the marketing of Hereford cattle and genetics. • School – once again, our juniors are marketing Herefords to their peers and in their classes through projects and speeches.

socials at major shows around the country. We welcome you to come and visit, meet new friends, catch up with old friends and ask questions about our NHW organization. Please find us on Facebook; Pinterest; and our website, HerefordWomen.com. We love sharing good news, yummy recipes, queen happenings and important information from the NJHA and the American Hereford Association.

If you spend your summer vacation, as we do, at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), you should be proud to invest in our youth. It seems that each summer the JNHE is the premier junior national to attend; our National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) has it going on! The NHW is hard at it, from sun up to sun down, during the JNHE. We have a great group of ladies that are invested in our junior Hereford enthusiasts. We offer programs and events through the week, and we are able to reach out to so many families during that week. We would love to meet you in person. We have started hosting

Leaders Must Be Effective Time Managers Time. We all get the same 24 hours each day, but some people seem to have a knack for being more efficient and productive than others. Becky Stewart-Gross, president of Building Bridges Seminars, offers several tips we can all employ to take better control of our time. 1) Technology is among the top “time thieves” Stewart-Gross identifies. Technologies — from phones and computers to television and social media — can be valuable tools but also very time-consuming. She suggests when making outgoing calls, to stack them into a series of calls, making one after another, as it results in shorter calls. Also, when calling someone, have the first question be “Is this a good time to talk?” This way, the call can be rescheduled for a time that works well for both parties. Stewart-Gross also suggests screening calls and e-mails. Research has found that every time you have an interruption, such as stopping to check e-mail, you lose 10 minutes because it takes you that long to get back into the project. 2) Have a system to be organized. A simple inbox to collect incoming papers is one strategy. When emptying the papers, utilize the FAT system: file the paperwork, act on it right away or toss it. Treat your e-mail inbox the same way. “If you go into your inbox, you should not have to scroll down. If you have to scroll down, you have way too many e-mails in your inbox to be effective,” Stewart-Gross notes. Likewise, make sure everything in your workspace has a purpose. The items you keep and display should be meaningful, she emphasizes. Can you find whatever you need in a moment’s touch? If not, Stewart-Gross suggests you need to work on your office organization.

/ April 2016

3) Make meetings productive. She suggests at the end of every meeting that you make sure all participants are on the same page by asking the following: What did we all agree upon? Who do we share this with? What’s confidential? What are the action items, and who is responsible? Having an agenda, even if it is a one-on-one meeting, can also be a time-saver that keeps the meeting purposeful. 4) People and different personalities can often be a distraction and should be handled tactfully. Don’t allow yourself to be the whining department. Establish a policy that people come in with at least two solutions to any problem. Stewart-Gross explains if they come with only one, they’ll expect you to implement it, but two forces them to be more creative. Keep things professional with difficult customers and try not to take anything personally. Stewart-Gross also suggests that the “Got a minute?” person never needs just a minute. If you don’t have more than a minute, stand up, walk toward that person and say, “How can I help you?” “Drainers,” as Stewart-Gross calls them, are those people who wipe us out. Be sure to have people in your life who don’t just take things from you. For the people who are really important in your life — spouse, children, certain coworkers — make a date for one-on-one time. If you are too busy for that, they see that you are too busy for them. “It may only be five minutes, but in that time you helped that person feel like they are the most important person in the world,” she says. 5) Utilize waiting time; rather than waste it, plan for it. Always have a newsletter or publication on hand to read, check e-mail on your phone or listen to an audio book

6) Be able to say “no.” StewartGross says, “We can only spread ourselves out so far. At some point, you need to decide where you say no.” She adds, “It is better to say no than to not be able to follow through on a commitment.” A similar strategy: Buy yourself time in saying you need to talk it over with your spouse or check your calendar. That way you don’t need to make a decision on the spot. You can also offer alternatives. If you are asked to work at an event but are busy that day, offer to help by selling tickets in advance. Offer the option that works the best for you. 7) Also important is for you to take care of yourself. StewartGross notes that when you are busy taking care of your family, your business and your cows, you are not taking care of you. She offers two analogies: the slingshot principle – at times we need to pull back (such as a mental break or a vacation) in order to soar. Second is the flight attendant principle — put the oxygen mask on yourself before assisting others. “We are not going to be any good if we don’t take care of us first,” she notes. 8) Finally, and perhaps most importantly, go through a list of things you do with your spouse or your team and ask if everything you are doing is worth it. Try to identify things you can delegate to someone else. Stewart-Gross encourages everyone to think about his purpose — first personally, then professionally. Take the rocking chair test by asking yourself what accomplishments you want to be known for in life, and whose respect for those accomplishments means the most to you. She concludes, “Remember there is always time to do what’s really important. The problem is knowing what really is important.” HW Hereford.org

DAMS

Dams of Distinction

OF DISTINCTION

2,385 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 2015 Dam of Distinction, a cow must have: 1) Weaned a calf born since Jan. 1, 2014. 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, 2015. 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 2015 Dams of Distinction list recognizes 2,385 Hereford cows from 646 Hereford performance herds in 40 different states. For 35 years Rausch Herefords, Hoven, S.D., has led Hereford breeders with the most cows qualifying as Dams of Distinction. With 427 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 32 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 85 sires recognized as Sires of Distinction follows.

etting out to help Hereford breeders get a fair price for their Hereford and Herefordcross calves after decades of discrimination was no easy task. But it’s one that Lowell Atwood took on willingly, because he knew it needed to be done. Atwood was presented with the 2016 American Hereford Association Innovator Award during the National Western Stock Show Hereford Carload and Pen Show Jan. 15, 2016, in Denver. The innovator award annually recognizes someone who has benefitted the breed.

Making a Difference Lowell Atwood was presented the 2016 Hereford Innovator Award. by Sara Gugelmeyer

Lowell Atwood of Stanford, Ky., has been in the Hereford business for more than 40 years. His is a family operation called Peyton Well Polled Herefords, named after an old sulfur well on the farm. Lowell and his wife, Barbara, founded the business, but now his daughters, Beth and Linda, Linda’s husband Paul and their children, Luke and Caleb are very involved. They calve about 60 head of registered cows, but with retained heifers and bull prospects, the family manages about 125 head of registered stock year-round. Peyton Well Polled Herefords raised one of the most well-known maternal sires in the Hereford breed — PW Victor Boomer P606. P606 was born in April 1996, sired by Remitall Boomer 46B

and out of PW Victoria 964 8114. Even today, P606 daughters are in strong demand, and some of the best cows in the business have him in their pedigree.

Finding a solution About seven years ago, Atwood’s commitment to the Hereford breed prompted him to do something when he noticed Hereford feeder calves were unfairly discounted. He sought advice from John Woolfolk, who had organized the very successful Tennessee Hereford Marketing Program. Atwood worked with the board of directors from the Kentucky Hereford Association to brainstorm ideas of how to help Hereford feeders sell better. “We already knew a couple folks going to Tennessee every year and felt like we had enough cattle to have our own sale,” Atwood says. “We got a lot of our ideas from the good folks in Tennessee.” In October 2009, the first-ever Kentucky Certified Hereford Influenced Sale was a success. And Atwood, along with a committee, has continued to organize biannual sales ever since. Cattle meet certain requirements to be eligible for the sale; then consigned cattle are grouped by weight and kind into load lots. This approach allows smaller producers to combine cattle and make a load which is much more attractive to buyers. “The sale is each May and December and all the cattle are sorted, weighed and graded the day prior to the sale,” explains AHA field representative John Meents. Hereford.org

“Cattle feeders looking for Hereford cattle that can go directly into the Certified Hereford Beef program purchase these feeders with confidence in load lots.” Kentucky Department of Agriculture Beef Cattle Marketing Specialist Tim Dietrich says, “Kentucky breeders and the Kentucky Hereford Association have done a great job promoting these sales to both sellers and buyers and that has played a major role in the success of both sales.” Meents says, “Lowell Atwood is the backbone of the success of the Kentucky Certified Hereford Influenced Sale.” Atwood has been in charge of coordinating the sale, but he is quick to point out that he hasn’t done it alone. “We have a committee, I am just the one that does the legwork,” he says. “And we’ve had tremendous support from the (Bluegrass South) Stockyards (of Stanford, Ky., which hosts every sale). The sale has been a great success and is approaching 10,000 head sold, with a good majority going into yards eligible for Certified Hereford Beef. By far, the volume buyer has been Ford County Feed Yard of Ford, Kan. And the sale has accomplished what Atwood and the committee hoped it would — helping Hereford breeders sell feeders for a good price. “Since the inception of the Kentucky Certified Hereford Feeder Calf Sale, the demand for Hereford genetics in the state of Kentucky has increased greatly,” Meents says. “The price structure for Hereford bulls

and females is at an all-time high in Kentucky. Lowell Atwood has put his heart and soul into the Kentucky Certified Hereford Influenced Sale, and his effort has made a huge impact on the Hereford economy in that state. But the cattle consigned don’t only come from Kentucky but from five surrounding states as well. Atwood explains that about 450 to 600 head are usually sold in the spring and 700 to 900 in the fall. The sale has continued to grow with the December 2015 sale boasting 16 new consignors. “We’d always like to have more numbers,” Atwood says, “because the more loads we have the better the cattle sell, but we’ve had tremendous support.” He adds that he was honored that the AHA would choose him for this award. “I am very grateful and very pleased that the Hereford Association felt like we are making a difference,” Atwood says. “And as long as I feel up to it and feel like we’re making progress, I will continue to help organize the sale.” HW

Time-Saving Transfers MyHerd.org offers online animal transfer. by Julie White

t’s simple, efficient and keeps a little more money in their pocket-books — these are the common remarks from American Hereford Association (AHA) members from across the country and of all ages and herd sizes using online animal transfer. This MyHerd. org online registry system feature provides a time-saving avenue for members to transfer ownership of animals with just a few clicks, all while saving on postage and cutting back on paperwork. “Whether you’re selling a large group of calves or a few singles, the old school way of transferring animals would have you sign the back of each registration paper and have you write down all of the contact information of each buyer, followed by sending the registration papers via snail mail,” says Marcia Mickelson of

Sonoma Mountain Herefords, Santa Rosa, Calif. “This process can take a great deal of time not only for me, but for the staff at AHA to input the information. With MyHerd, I can have a calf transferred on Monday and the new registration paper is in the mail to the new owner on Tuesday.” The AHA leadership and staff had online animal transfer in the plan from the beginning stages of developing MyHerd. In addition to increasing efficiency, Stacy Sanders, AHA records department director, says, “The animal transfer feature might also encourage more transfers to be conducted which benefits the Association in promoting the breed to commercial producers directly and providing

Personal List feature The Personal List is a feature of MyHerd.org that allows users to easily access a list of members they frequently do business with. The personal list is an all-purpose feature. MyHerd users can quickly choose a buyer to transfer an animal or release an artificial insemination (AI) certificate to, and it can also be downloaded and used to update their mailing list for promotional materials like sale catalogs and post cards. Shelia Jensen, Jensen Bros., Courland, Kan., says the “personal list” is one of her favorite features on MyHerd. “You can go in there and it has a complete list of your buyers. It tells you their names and information — it’s like having your own address book. And it’s personal, so other breeders can’t get into it, which is a nice feature to have.” HW

them with helpful information via the tabloid issues of Hereford World.”

A feature for everyone Mickelson and her family run a 200-head registered Hereford herd. They market bulls each fall through their annual bull sale and sell heifers private treaty. She began using MyHerd in 2014 in conjunction with CattleMax, a herd management software. “At first I thought ‘Why do I need MyHerd when I am already an online records person using CattleMax?’” she explains. “What I didn’t realize is that by using MyHerd, it gives me direct access to my records at AHA and alleviates the cumbersome task of transferring records on animals that are sold. CattleMax does not have an animal transfer feature. What I do like is that the MyHerd transfer feature works hand-in-hand with my herd management software. Between the two software programs, I am always on top of where our herd data is not only in online files with CattleMax, but what our animal’s and breeder’s status is at the AHA.” Members with small herds appreciate the efficiency as well. National Junior Hereford Association member Emilee Holt and her family have 20 head of Herefords in Caldwell, Idaho. They retain most heifers as replacements and market bulls as yearlings to commercial cattlemen.

“I began using MyHerd in spring 2014 mostly because of its convenience and ability to help me keep up-to-date EPDs (expected progeny differences) of all of my cattle as that plays a big part

when marketing our cattle,” she explains. “I appreciate that I am able to work on MyHerd anywhere I have access to Wi-Fi. I can still do our records when I’m at college away from home.”

Holt also says the animal transfer feature helps her simplify the paperwork. “My brother (Ben) and I also own all of our cattle together so I am able to transfer them and add continued on page 52...

MyHerd.org animal transfer FAQs must be transferred by the seller on his or her MyHerd account or submitted by the buyer in hard copy form to the AHA. 4. How many animals may I transfer at a time on MyHerd? The animal transfer feature allows members to transfer up to 10 open females and bulls at a time. Bred females must be transferred one at a time with service information.

The “animal transfer” feature of MyHerd.org cuts back on time and paperwork for members.

1. What does it cost to transfer animals with MyHerd? The cost to transfer animals on MyHerd is the same as the traditional hard copy form; however, members will find transferring animals online to be more efficient and cost effective. Online transfers will not require purchasing postage to mail a hard copy certificate to the American Hereford Association (AHA), nor do members have to wait for the certificate to be received and transferred by the records department.

Multiplying the Best Properly managing donors and recipients will make for a successful embryo transfer program. by Heather Smith Thomas

Colorado Genetics Inc. veterinarian technician Deb Rest checks an embryo at the lab in Loveland, Colo.

/ April 2016

n today’s cattle industry, there are more and more purebred breeders using embryo transfer (ET) in their herds. ET has been a part of bovine reproduction options now for more than 50 years. An embryologist at Colorado Genetics Inc. in Loveland, Colo., Darrel DeGrofft, DVM, says the first ET calf was born in 1951. “ET has been used commercially in North America since the early 1970’s, with embryo freezing technology following during the 1980’s,” DeGrofft says. “The use of ET has several benefits for the producer as it allows the cattle breeder to more rapidly gain overall genetic quality in a herd. We can collect multiple embryos from a superior purebred cow several times during the year and greatly increase the number of offspring from that cow.” Using ET is a way to more quickly multiply the best genetics in the herd, creating more replacement females or bulls to sell or some extra embryos. As long as the donor cow is a good producing individual, a

Hereford.org

person can collect a lot of embryos from her within a few years. It’s also a way to more quickly increase calf numbers in a small herd. “We have a client right now who is considering buying a few donor cows. He’s been using frozen embryos but now he’d like to collect his own and use them to increase his herd a little faster,” DeGrofft says. “When breeding the donor cows, a person can use a different sire for each ET procedure, if desired, to get varied genetics either to sell or to keep in the herd. You should be selecting donor cows of superior genetic quality, and selecting a mating that will have marketability and economic worth. The sale of embryos is very common today. We have clients who frequently buy frozen embryos from other people, and we transfer those into their recipient cows,” he says. DeGrofft started working with ET in 1973 and has been doing so ever since. He says many things have changed in this industry but some things have stood the test of time and are still very valuable today — one of these is nutrition.

Donor and recipient management Adequate energy, protein, minerals, etc. are crucial for donor and recipient cows. “We like to see the donor cows and recipient cows in a body condition score of about 5.5 to 6. We don’t like to see the donor too fat. If donor cows get up to a body condition score of 6.5 or higher, we see a decrease in viable embryos that can be collected from those cows,” DeGrofft says. “There is good reason for that; there is research data to show why fat cows tend to have reproductive problems. If cows get too fat they have hormonal problems, metabolic problems and a decrease in reproduction.” Recipient selection and management are much the same as for donor cows. “We like to use early calvers that are at least 65 to 70 days post-partum before we consider using them as recipients. We prefer middleaged cows, with good dispositions. The producer will have to put those cows through the chute to prepare them to receive an embryo, and may not want cattle that are difficult to handle. When they calve, a person also wants cows with good dispositions, making it much easier to handle the calf, ear tag it, etc.,” he says. The recipient cow should be reproductively sound with a good calving record. “We wouldn’t want to try to use a cow that had been open for a couple of years. We also want these cows to have adequate milking ability, and we try to keep the nutrition the same as the donor cow before we transfer the embryos.” DeGrofft also uses Multimin 90, the injectable trace mineral product, for all of the donors and recipients, along with the mineral ration the rancher is currently using. “We’ve been doing that for about 12 years and there is a data to show that this can result in an increase in embryo quality and pregnancy rate. We Hereford.org

Pictured (l) are multiple embryos recovered from a donor cow and a single embryo as an expanding blastocyst (r).

will be involved in a research study this year, to further evaluate embryo quality and production with use of this trace mineral product,” DeGrofft says. From a nutrition standpoint, the recipients need an adequate diet. “We tell our clients that they need to maintain a very similar nutrition program after the embryos are transferred for about 30 to 40 days, if possible, in order to maintain early pregnancies. This can decrease the possibility of early embryonic losses. Research has substantiated this factor, and we personally have seen this. One of my biggest fears is when heifers have gone through an AI (artificial insemination) program in a feedlot and a few days later are turned out on a little bit of green grass in April that is very low in nutrition. We know that they will suffer some pregnancy loss. The heifers need to be on the same nutritional level for 30 to 40 days to help maintain that early pregnancy, and the same applies to recipient cows,” he says. It is important to test the feed and water in order to balance the ration properly for minerals, protein and energy. “We find areas from ranch to ranch that are too high in selenium or the rancher (may be) feeding something that’s high in nitrates or selenium, or the soil may be high in molybdenum which ties up copper. Even when people buy the same mineral ration that continued on page 58...

their neighbor does, it still may not be the right balance for their own soils and feed,” he explains. DeGrofft says he and his staff have utilized a consulting nutritionist for more than 15 years to help evaluate rations from information each client provides. “Over the years, we’ve found a tremendous variability as we travel to about 10 states to do ET work, and we find big differences in some of these locations. If they don’t test the feed and water, they won’t know what they need,” he says. He also asks that clients have an adequate identification system for the recipient cows. “Once in a while we run into some that don’t even have an ear tag. We suggest that they have two ear tags, one that they can identify when the embryos are being transferred into these cows, and another ear tag identifying the mating. It is very important to have at least two forms of ID and some people even write down the number of a metal tag they might have in the ear, like a brucellosis tag, or another metal clip tag, using it as a back-up form of ID in the event that the recipient cow loses both ear tags,” he says. That way there are no questions about the genetics of the resulting calf.

Pregnancies When embryos are collected from a beef donor cow, the average number is about six to six and a half embryos per flush on a cow and about three or four on a virgin heifer.

International market for embryos An embryologist at Colorado Genetics Inc. in Loveland, Colo., Darrel DeGrofft, DVM, says there is a larger demand every year for frozen embryos to sell to other clients or for export. “We get inquiries from various countries in South America, Europe, Russia, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and others for frozen embryos. As we look at the international scene, there is an increasing demand for U.S. genetics,” DeGrofft says. Embryos are a bio-secure method for exporting seedstock genetics. A person can ship embryos even when importations of live animals are prohibited. “We know of no known diseases that have been transmitted from the donor cows to the recipient cows by exporting embryos. There are strict regulations for preparing embryos for export and there is virtually no risk for disseminating disease,” he says. “When a producer is selecting semen for a mating to produce embryos, if they may later want to export embryos internationally, they need to use CSS (Certified Semen Services) approved semen. They also need to use a company that has an accredited veterinarian in the American Embryo Transfer Association to collect and prepare those embryos for export,” DeGrofft says. Shipping embryos to other countries has advantages over sending live cattle, besides disease issues. “The embryo transfer calves are born and raised in the local environment so they are often much better adapted than any animals that could be sent from the U.S. to a foreign country.” HW

/ April 2016

“About 30% of the donor cows we flush do not produce viable embryos,” DeGrofft says. “Statistics indicate that about 70% of the embryos collected are from about one-third of the donor cows. Some donor cows produce embryos very well and some do not. The owner has to decide how long to continue working with a cow without acceptable results, or just put her back in the herd and let her raise just one calf each year, and select another individual to use as a donor cow.” He says that most people ask about pregnancy rates. “Over the past 30 to 40 years, the factor that most affects pregnancy rate is the quality and management of the recipient cows,” he says. “The donor cows are usually looked after very well and the embryos we freeze are very good quality; the freezing process has been the same for 30 to 40 years. We can show data, not only from our company but also from others, that the important factor is the recipient cow — her nutrition, age, reproductive soundness, and how she is managed. In a good herd, we should be getting a pregnancy rate of 55 to 65% depending on whether they are fresh or frozen embryos.” Fresh embryos give a slightly higher pregnancy rate, 5 to 7% more than a frozen embryo pregnancy rate. “We anticipate 55 to 65% but have had clients we’ve worked for over the years that get 65 to 70% because they understand the management of the donors and the recipients. Due to their good management, we get better results — not so much because of what we do, but because of what they do,” he explains. Costs vary amongst companies, and breeders should contact their ET company to look at the costs that might be involved, whether they want to collect embryos to be frozen or transferred immediately into the recipient or whether they want to do IVF (in vitro fertilization) using sexed semen. Not as many people in the beef industry (compared to dairy) are using IVF or sexed semen for producing embryos. “Most of the producers we work with can use both the heifers and the bull calves, because they tell us they can place a heifer back into their herd, or a bull for their annual bull sale. We don’t often get requests to use sexed semen for any of the donor cows,” says DeGrofft. “The use of sexed semen creates a different scenario, as we have to use a specialized protocol in order to utilize sexed semen properly in a donor cow, or an AI project. It’s not the same as when using conventional semen, primarily because of the reduced number of sperm cells in a straw of sexed semen,” he says. Colorado Genetics does all of its reproductive work on the producer’s farm or ranch. “The producers therefore need to evaluate their facilities, and the labor to put the cows through the ET program and synchronize the recipients,” DeGrofft says. “Timing is very important, so it is crucial that they follow the superovulation protocol correctly. An experienced AI technician is also required for breeding the donor cows.” HW Hereford.org

Just this morning, Waylon awoke with butterflies. He was quiet. He was, ahem, not super chatty. You see, tonight is his band recital. And he will be performing “The Waltz of the Flowers” from the Nutcracker Suite as a solo on the xylophone. He has put in the effort and rehearsed the piece often. We’ve listened to many “concerts” in our living room. But this morning, his nerves are telling him he’s not ready. Haven’t we all been there? Making that big presentation to a client. Speaking at a local community organization. Or walking into the ring with the best animal you’ve ever raised on the halter. Am I ready? But continued, positive competition and performance allow us all to be prepared for those big moments. We learn to harness that nervousness into the drive and ability to succeed. I am confident Waylon will get onto that stage and do what he’s trained to do just as he’s done with speeches at the Junior National Hereford Expo and in the ring at various Hereford shows through the years. Will his performance be completely flawless? Probably not. But hopefully, his experience in competition and performance has prepared him to float across the blunders and to continue with poise, to give a performance of which he can be proud. No matter the situation in life, isn’t that what matters? Being able to continue moving forward, no matter the missed notes or rhythms. We owe a great deal of that ability, no doubt, to competition and the learning that comes from it. I’m so thankful to be a show mom and for the experience we’re all able to provide our children. Our kids are learning to be poised, no matter the circumstances. They’re learning to compete. And they’re learning how to be successful adults. What more could we want for our children?

April 2016 /

In Passing Louis Hans Madsen, 78, Livermore, Calif., passed away Jan. 7. A lifelong resident of Livermore, he Louis Madsen graduated from Livermore High School in 1955 and joined the U.S. Army and served his tour of duty stationed at Regimental Headquarters in Ft. Benning, Ga. Louie’s passion has been his love for the outdoors, his sheep and cattle. Louie and his family are owners of Madsen Herefords, raising and selling many champion Hereford bulls. Louie and his wife, Joan, are also owners of Joan’s Farm and Pumpkin Patch, which has provided 25 years of unforgettable memories for families throughout the Tri-Valley. Louie and Joan spent many years attending various antique shows in Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and California looking for appropriate items that could be displayed in the Old West town at the pumpkin patch because they felt it so important for today’s children to experience what it would have been like in the “Old West.” He worked for several ranchers throughout the valley in his younger years, doing customized hay cutting and ranch work. Louie is survived by his wife, Joan; daughter, Annette Warner; son, David Madsen; and grandson, Austin Andrade. Harry A. Knabe, Jr., 78, Dillwyn, Va., passed away Jan. 26. Harry of Winterfield Farm was a native of Midlothian, Va., the Harry Knabe former owner of Knabe Motor Company and a breeder of polled Herefords for 65 years. At age 14 he purchased a Hereford steer, and with the proceeds from the sale of that steer, he bought his first polled Hereford female, beginning a lifelong involvement with the breed.

/ April 2016

Harry regularly showed his cattle and won many events throughout the region. Beginning in 1961, his herd became a participant in the Virginia Beef Cattle Improvement Association. In 1968 Harry was a founding member of the Virginia Polled Hereford Association and served as the organization’s first president. His passion for his polled Herefords was second only to his love and devotion to his family and friends and his lifelong dedication to helping others. As a 24-year-old, he became a 4-H volunteer and founded the Circle M 4-H Club that introduced many of the local kids to agriculture, public speaking and leadership skills. Harry is survived by his wife, Barbara; children, Ray Knabe and Nancy Dragovich; four grandchildren; one great-grandson; and sister, Sally Lloyd. Ruth Evelyn Tomlin, 98, Mason City, Iowa, passed away Feb. 14. Ruth worked as a key punch operator at State Farm in Bloomington, Ill., until she married Mick Tomlin in 1940. Their child, David, was born in December 1945, completing them as an American farm family success. They lived in a house in Macon, Mo., that was featured in Better Homes & Gardens with a beagle named Princess. Ruth and Mick moved back to central Illinois in 1950, raising Hereford cattle and crops. She assisted in their farm enterprise through gardening, canning, baking, cooking and sewing. She worked at the Mason City National Bank from the 1960s through the 1980s. Ruth is survived by her son, David; sister, Mary Hull; sister-in-law, Thelma Tomlin; and nephews and a niece.

He was a member of the Illinois Polled Hereford Association, the American Hereford Association and the Illinois Beef Association. He, along with his family, exhibited many of their cattle at county, state and national shows. He also enjoyed traveling to and attending purebred cattle sales in many states. He was a member of the Madison County Fair Association, serving as superintendent of the beef show for many years. He was a strong supporter of 4-H and junior livestock shows and served on the Madison County Youth Livestock Auction Committee. In recognition of his strong commitment to youth, he was inducted into the Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame in 2013. He was also a member of United Church of Christ of Marine, the Madison County Farm Bureau, Marine Lodge 355 A.F. & A.M and the Madison County Fair Board. Glenn is survived by daughter, Teri Leitschuh; brother, Earl Grotefendt; and many nieces and nephews. Roger Imig, Lakeside, Neb., passed away March 5. Roger, along with his wife of 61 years, Judy, founded Roger Imig Imig Herefords. He is survived by his wife, Judy; children, Janyce West, Mike Imig, Mary Imig and Julie Imig; grandchildren, Clare Schweitzer, Jack Schweitzer, Ellen Imig Arkfeld, Grace Imig Arkfeld, Margaret Imig, Madison Imig, Emily Southard, Trystin Gielissen and Zane Gielissen; and sister, Shirley Sloup. HW

Glenn M. Grotefendt, 88, Marine, Ill., passed away March 5. Glenn attended Loos School, west of Marine, and graduated from Highland High School in 1944. He was a lifelong grain and livestock farmer. His passion was raising and caring for his polled Hereford herd.
