Spending any length of time in my little red Ford Focus these days usually brings me to tuning in to news stories or podcasts and listening to what’s going on in the world and others’ stories. A while back as I was driving home from the airport, I took advantage of the 35-minute trip to pull up TED Radio Hour on my phone’s NPR app, and the podcast I settled on was “Giving It Away: TED Radio Hour examines generosity and philanthropy.” It started with a story from volunteer firefighter Mark Bezos who wanted nothing but to be a hero when he was called to fight his first fire — instead was given a task that didn’t live up to his heroic dreams, or so he thought. Mark arrived in the middle of a rainy night as the second firefighter on the scene. He found the captain standing outside a burning home with the homeowner — she was under an umbrella, in her pajamas, barefoot, standing in the pouring rain. The first firefighter was given orders to go inside the home and save the woman’s dog. Mark was jealous that the guy that beat him to the scene will get to tell the story of how he saved a living creature. Next, the captain gave Mark his orders — go upstairs, past the fire, into
the master bedroom and grab a pair of shoes. Mark tells of how this isn’t exactly how he hoped his first fire would go since grabbing a pair of shoes was nothing to write home about. A few weeks after the incident, the fire department received a letter from the woman thanking them for their effort in saving her home. “The act of kindness she noted above all others,” Mark says, “someone had even gotten her a pair of shoes.” My own parents tell of a similar story following a fire that destroyed their home. It was early December in 1985 when my mom got a call at work saying her home, which her grandparents built in the early 1900s, caught fire. Volunteer firefighters rushed to the scene but not much could have been done. Everything inside had been consumed by flames. My dad, mom and their 22-month-old daughter, my older sister, received an outpouring of support from the community which they remember even to this day. In the midst of all the giving, it was a small gift that stood out to my mom. As they arrived at my grandparent’s home to stay that night, they found a lovely little dress and a bag of diapers hanging on the doorknob — this small, anonymous gift gave my sister something beautiful to wear for Christmas.
This spring, cattlemen in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas will be beneficiaries of all acts of kindness — great and small — as the livestock industry rallies behind their own following fires in the Great Plains. As I write this, I cannot visit social media without seeing videos of truckloads of donated hay moving into the areas destroyed by fire, or posts about how to give and to support cattlemen. I’m proud to be part of such a generous industry. From all these stories, what we learn is don’t miss out on an opportunity to do something good because you’re waiting to do something great. Each day gives us an opportunity to be generous with our time, money and kind words. Small acts of kindness may not get you a headline or medal, but they certainly do not go unnoticed.
In this issue In this issue we recognize 2,542 Dams of Distinction — cows that met the highest standards of production and the producers who managed them. We also recognize 106 Sires of Distinction, which sired efficient, fertile and productive females. We also introduce to you the new Hereford.org, a mobile friendly website of the AHA.

Building a Foundation The first three months of 2017 have certainly challenged the agriculture industry and specifically the cattle industry. We have seen devastating floods in the extreme West Coast, record snowfall in many parts of the U.S. and, most recently, the tragic wildfires through Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado. And yet, it never ceases to impress me as to how the agriculture community comes together to help neighbors and friends. These wildfires have cost lives for both livestock and producers. It has been heartbreaking to hear of those younger producers who lost the battle as they were trying to protect their cattle. At the same time, it is very clear the agriculture community supports one another as we read about the hay, fencing supplies, monetary donations and other gifts headed to those in need as they begin to rebuild their businesses, homes and livelihoods.
Simplot Ranches American Hereford Association (AHA) Director of Breed Improvement Shane Bedwell and I recently visited with the cowboys and ranch managers at Simplot Ranches in Grand View, Idaho, to discuss ongoing research. The project started in 2011 and, at the onset, was looking at using highaccuracy Hereford sires in a predominately Angus-based heifer program. The intention of the program was to show the
6
/ April 2017
value of heterosis even in a heifer program and to document the advantages of crossbreeding through all stages of production including feed intake and end product. In addition, Simplot has looked at the value of maternal heterosis and has documented a more than 2% advantage in the fertility of the Herefordinfluenced cows versus their Angus contemporaries. In addition to sharing information and results over the six years of the project, we heard from the cowboys about how difficult the winter has been in their area. They saw record snowfall and cold temperatures during their busiest calving of the firstcalf heifers. The message is clear that calving ease and vigor are huge factors. Time will tell what impact the weather and fires will have on the cattle business over the next few months and years, but in these areas, it will certainly challenge the ranches and businesses for a good, long time. Please continue to keep all of those affected by these devastating fires and storms in your thoughts and prayers.
Walking sire DNA rule I want to remind all breeders that the AHA Board of Directors voted to require all walking herd bulls born after Jan. 1, 2011, that sired a calf that needs to be registered to have a DNA profile at the official lab of the AHA before the calf can be registered. We have seen a few of the registration
requests come to the office without the sire being DNA tested. This becomes an issue with getting registrations completed in a timely manner. This information is just a reminder to make sure you have the DNA completed on any bull that heads to a pasture with cows prior to breeding season.
Sires of Distinction (SOD) and Dams of Distinction (DOD) In this issue of the Hereford World, you will find a list of both SODs and DODs that have been added from the previous year. You can find a full list by searching the entire database at Hereford.org on the “EPD Search� found in the upper right hand corner on the new AHA website. As the breed continues to gain more share in the commercial industry, it is important to find genetics with longevity and the strength to stand the test of time. As we continue to identify genetics that will be profitable through all stages of production, the maternal value of the Hereford breed will be the cornerstone for commercial cattlemen. With this in mind, it is important to keep calving ease, teat and udder traits, and disposition along with the right growth, milk, mature-cow weight and end product in your selection decisions. The commercial cattlemen demand it all, and it starts with building a strong foundation with your cows. HW Hereford.org

Maternal Matters
8
/ April 2017
Each year the American Hereford Association (AHA) recognizes outstanding females and sires through the Dams of Distinction (DOD) and Sire of Distinction (SOD) programs. These recognition programs are a great way to award not only the females and respective sires behind these daughters, but also to showcase the breeders who have made a commitment to turning in timely data and upholding stringent management practices. To qualify for DOD, a cow must maintain a proper calving interval after being in production along with having a strong nursing ratio over the number of calves raised. Few females make the list, but I’m proud to say this year, nearly 200 more females were labeled with the prestigious DOD label than compared to a year ago. Turn to Page 34 to see the 2016 Dams of Distinction. Likewise, the number of Sires of Distinction increased compared to a year ago. On Page 40 you will find a total of 106 new sires that are now labeled as SOD on their pedigrees. For a sire to qualify for this award, he must sire females that have been recognized as a DOD a minimum of seven times. He can achieve this status by either putting back seven daughters in the herd that all receive the DOD recognition or by siring one female that has
achieved the recognition the last seven years. Either way, it finds the bulls that are truly going beyond the basics when it comes to producing daughters that can breed back efficiently and produce more pounds at weaning — accomplishments which are easier said than done. My congratulations are extended to the breeders behind these cattle. Keep up the good work.
Maternal efficiency Maternal efficiency is important, but often it takes a back seat when compared to growth and end-product merit. I feel, in most cases, the decision is not intentional, but in an industry driven by maximizing outputs, it’s easy to lose focus of inputs. There’s been no better wakeup call than here in the last year and half with the way feeder calf prices have come off record highs. Before, it didn’t matter what you sold at auction, it was going to bring a premium. Now, however, those margins are a lot tighter. Because of this change, commercial producers are talking again about low-input females that can breed back on time and still wean a big calf. Luckily the good Lord put Herefords on this earth with the ability to withstand a variety of environments and to produce a healthy calf, while remaining fertile and docile. But to keep this God-given talent, we
must continue to select for it and keep emphasis on these maternal efficiencies. There are several tools available to help you maximize these females through the AHA. I would encourage you to keep collecting cow weights and udder scores, as well as accurately recording the disposal codes at culling time. These measures will continue to give Hereford great leverage. So, as you are making your final artificial insemination (AI) decisions this spring, keep the maternal efficiencies in mind along with supplying the needed growth and end-product merit. By using the “Select if” section of the expected progeny difference (EPD) search at Hereford.org, you will be able to find sires that have been designated with SOD, and at the same time, you can put in the minimums and maximums for the other economically relevant traits where you need to make progress. Also, please make plans to attend this year’s Beef Improvement Federation convention hosted in Athens, Ga., May 31-June 3. Registration information and schedules are available online at beefimprovement.org, and you can look for more information on the AHA website. HW

Demand the Brand Do you want to see Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) in restaurants and grocery stores near you? Then it’s time to Demand the Brand. CHB is rolling out a new campaign that puts the power in producers’ hands. CHB’s 2017 resolution is to increase producer involvement by allowing the producers to take ownership of the brand created to help market Hereford cattle and create more demand and value for the breed.
As producers, consumers and brand ambassadors of the CHB program, it is important to ask for and to talk about the product at restaurants and grocery stores to create additional demand for the CHB brand. This is CHB’s challenge: every time a Hereford breeder is in a restaurant or grocery store, simply ask if CHB is served or sold. Consistent requests for the product create an opportunity to begin a conversation about the program and how retailers and foodservice providers can get the product to fill customer demands. Hereford breeders are not only a producer, but a consumer as well, and today’s market is driven by consumer demands. With 7,000 strong consumer voices across the United States, Hereford breeders can Demand the Brand. Informational handouts to take to restaurants and grocery stores can be found at Hereford.org/commercial/ feeder-cattle/certified-hereford-beef and then clicking on “Demand the Brand.” HW

females, young bulls and heifers offered for sale. The Gold TPR award requires at least 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 are to be included in genetic evaluation. Cattle outside these parameters may be scanned but will not be included in the evaluation.
Whole Herd Total Performance Record (TPR™) reminders Weaning and yearling weights As the season passes and the spring grass grows, it’s time to wean fall calves again and, perhaps, to collect yearling data. Follow these important tips to make sure you are following the right guidelines on when to collect the performance data needed. 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.
• Ultrasound data are optional; however, they should be collected at the same time as yearling data. • The only requirement for ultrasound data to be included in the genetic evaluation is to have a weaning weight recorded on each scanned animal.
• Allowable trait ranges: � Weaning Data: 110 to 300 days of age
• Ultrasound results are sent directly to the American Hereford Association (AHA) from the ultrasound processing lab.
� Yearling Data: 301 to 530 days of age • Group codes: � Assign a group code if a group of calves is managed differently or raised in a different environment than the general calf crop. For instance, calves raised at a different location than calves raised on the farm should be coded differently.
• Do not submit scrotal measurements on the barn sheet. The ultrasound lab does not process the measurements, and the AHA doesn’t receive the original barn sheets. Scrotal measurements should be submitted with yearling weights separate from scanned data.
� Group codes do not have to be reported if all calves were raised the same.
FAQs Q: When does my junior membership expire?
Ultrasound Breeders are encouraged to scan as much of their calf crop as they can, especially replacement
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. Q: I disposed of the wrong cow on my inventory. How can I get that cow back on my inventory? A: If you dispose of any animal from your inventory and would like it reinstated, you must call the office. There is a $30 reinstatement fee. That’s why it is extremely important to double check what cow you are disposing of and what cows are left on your inventory before submission. Q: I have three kids and each has his/her own online registry account. Is there a way to add or link their accounts to our ranch’s online account and can we do all our online registry work from one account? A: If your herd is comprised of animals of multiple membership accounts (family members, partners, etc.), it’s best to link all associated accounts to one master account — making it easier to submit registration and performance data as one herd. Ownership of the animals within each account will not change, and there’s no additional charge. Contact the AHA customer service department to designate a master account and to link all associate accounts. Note: The designated master account will receive all future herd inventories and general correspondence from the AHA regarding the herd. HW

“CHB Bites” is a column designed to keep you in-the-know about Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) program happenings. To get involved with CHB on social media, search Certified Hereford Beef on Facebook and Pinterest, @certifiedherefordbeef on Instagram and @crtherefordbeef on Twitter.
While at the Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Trade Show in Nashville, Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) and the American Hereford Association (AHA) promoted several local restaurants serving CHB, including local staple Jimmy Kelly’s Steakhouse. Jimmy Kelly’s opened its doors in 1934, when the late John Kelly founded the American steakhouse one year after the end of prohibition. Mike Kelly, grandson to founder John, now owns Jimmy Kelly’s. Eighty-three years later, the restaurant is serving tender, juicy and flavorful CHB steaks in a Southern mansion nestled in the heart of Music City. “We picked up a few CHB products about 8 years ago and
were pleasantly surprised,” Mike says. “For about 7 years we’ve had a completely Hereford beef program.” For the iconic steakhouse, consistency in its product is key. “The consistency of the Hereford product is above average,” Mike says. “Rule number 1 in the restaurant business is you have to be consistent. We had a very good product before, but we felt the CHB was consistently above average and had a very exceptional flavor profile. It was noticeably different.” One unique aspect of the Kelly family is they used to be in the cattle business. “When I was a kid, we had a farm right outside Nashville and raised cattle for 25 years,” Mike says. “I was lucky to grow up and learn appreciation for that side of the business as well.”

Jimmy Kelly’s Satisfies with Certified Hereford Beef
Mike says he is grateful Hereford breeders work hard to produce a high-quality product. “I really appreciate all of those cattlemen out there continually producing the CHB product,” Mike says. “It’s clear the producers recognize the need for a quality product and they are continuing to produce it. It’s what keeps our business strong.”
CHB launches Premium Program Certified Hereford Beef partnered with National Beef Packing Co. to launch production of the CHB Premium Program on Jan. 9, 2017. The CHB Premium Program will provide new opportunities for CHB to expand its customer base and to provide a high-choice beef program to new accounts seeking a premium product. “As the industry has evolved and the genetics of the cattle have improved, the viability of a CHB premium program became increasingly apparent,” says Wes Steimel, National Beef business manager. “This CHB program
20
/ April 2017
will provide the differentiation that many customers are looking for and the quality grade to outperform competing brands.” CHB Chief Operating Officer Amari Manning says the CHB Premium Program will allow CHB a competitive advantage over all high-choice programs in the industry. “Partnering with National Beef allows us to add another level of quality and consistent product that only the Hereford breed can provide,” Manning says. “Our goal is to continue to service all our loyal customers with the best possible product and to gain additional market share by providing a unique
product for consumers who demand premium quality.” National Beef also shares excitement of the continued partnership with CHB. Steimel says, “It is exciting to be able to provide our loyal CHB customer base with a product that is going to help them be even more successful and expand their distribution.” At the end of the day, the CHB Premium Program is about giving the customers what they want. “The program really is one-ofa-kind,” Steimel says. “It’s producer owned, high-choice Hereford beef. The consistency will be second to none.” HW

Originally, National Guard, Tulsa, Okla. RyAnne voiced an interest in showing hogs, but this was not a feasible idea due to a lack of facilities at her home. Then RyAnne’s FFA advisor, Matt Boyer, introduced RyAnne to his motherin-law, resulting in RyAnne helping their family with the cattle.

Military career The influence of Susan and Richard Gebhart in RyAnne’s life began with showing cattle for Beacon Hill Ranch and extended into her military career. RyAnne has watched both of her brothers serve as Marine Corps members. She was also influenced by the service
baileymckay14@yahoo.com
of Richard Gebhart, a colonel in the Army, and his daughters, Erica Boyer and Roxane Gebhart, who are both currently serving in the Air National Guard. RyAnne credits the Gebharts with helping her to develop a strong work ethic through building skills in time management, situation awareness and dedication to a cause. These abilities easily transferred to her training and work with the Air National Guard. RyAnne recently returned from her first deployment. It was a sixmonth tour in Kuwait, where she worked the night shift from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. Her main duty on the base was inspecting food in the cooking division. She also helped the K-9 unit with training by acting as an enemy target. RyAnne broadened her military knowledge by watching a regulated Explosive Ordinance Disposal demonstration as well as by riding in M-ATVs. On her days off, she traveled into Kuwait City, where she visited the Kuwait Towers, as well as the malls, many times. These positive experiences aided in her decision to remain in the military until retirement. While many people in the cattle industry love both God and the country, few choose to serve. RyAnne’s favorite quote “You can do anything you set your mind to” is illustrated in her life. The passion and drive she gained from showing cattle enabled her to reach her goals of being part of the Air National Guard. RyAnne’s service is a source of pride for all members of the NJHA. HW

Should I Market 25.6 or 51.2 Tons of Beef? Two bottom-line numbers illustrate the positive outcome of a choice. The Dickinson Research Extension Center’s steer calves born in May 2015 weighed 25.6 tons late in the fall of 2015. The center overwintered the steers, put them on summer grass and transferred 51.2 tons of beef to the feedlot late in the fall of 2016. Which one would you choose? Even more remarkable: The center did not need the cows to produce the second 25.6 tons. The cows, once again, were setting the stage for the first 25.6 tons. At the onset, marketing double the pounds of beef by holding the weaned calves over for summer grazing has to make one ponder. Of course, expenses, markets and all operational changes need careful pondering as well. But the fact still remains: Opportunities are available for beef producers who take the path of change.
A new path That path involves an extended discussion associated with the implementation of an aggressive integrated crop and livestock system. The system has the potential to improve soil health, add more diversity per acre, establish crop rotations (including cover crops for more pounds of forage per acre), and produce more biomass, grain, grass and hay. The system also can add more pounds of beef per acre and extend conventional beef marketing from calves to yearlings. The extra pounds for a beef operation are critical. In the overall picture in May 2015, the center had 7,460 lb. of steer calves on the ground, or just a little more than 3.7 tons of beef, from 84 steer calves that averaged 88.8 lb. at birth. However, the center’s mission is not to produce veal.
26
/ April 2017
The calves were summered and fall grazed with their mothers, and their weaning weight totaled 51,216 lb. (just more than 25.6 tons of beef). The 84 steers calves averaged 610 lb. at weaning, but the center no longer sells weaned calves. Instead, it maintains the calves for a summer yearling forage program. The second year came to a close when the steers were gathered, processed and shipped to the feed yard. The center shipped 102,484 lb. of steers (just more than 51.2 tons of beef), or 82 steers that averaged 1,250 lb., on Dec. 19. After an uneventful trip, the next day, the steers weighed 97,690 lb., with an average weight of 1,191 lb., and had an average shrink of 4.7%. The steers are being fed at the James C. Hageman Sustainable Agriculture Research and Extension Center (Department of Animal Science, University of Wyoming) at Lingle, Wyo. As of Feb. 20, 117,550 lb. of steers (just less than 58.8 tons of beef), or 81 steers with an average steer weight of 1,451 lb., still were eating feed. (One steer was sold as a live steer at 1,252 lb., having arrived at 1,325 lb. and never adjusting to the feedlot.) The 69-day gain was 2.9 lb. per day, or 201 lb. The feedlot reports would indicate the steers need another 30 to 45 days before harvest. That will put the pen at 128,121 lb., an average of 1,582 lb. (just less than 64.1 tons of beef). That is a lot of beef going from 3.7 tons of beef; it’s adding almost 60.4 tons in about 22 months.
What if? So, “what if?” What if agricultural producers implemented crop rotation systems to improve soil health, lower input costs, and significantly diversify and integrate crop and livestock systems? The “what if” is very real. Producers
cannot jump into alternative approaches to agriculture simply, but producers can open the door for change. Back to the original pondering points: Expenses, markets and all operational changes need to be addressed. Starting slow is good. The center is no different. The concept started in the mid-’90s, when dollars were tight and income low. More recently, the integration of cover crops into cropping rotations has taken root. The natural follow-up is grazing. Visiting scholar Songul Senturklu and animal scientist Douglas Landblom are exploring the concept further. They’re enhancing soil productivity by using a multicrop rotation and integrating beef cattle for grazing.
Exploring opportunities This final integration of beef cattle really completes the change. As one’s mind goes back through time, the pieces of the puzzle slowly move around and come together. Looking back, three big pieces are evident: First, as the equipment inventory was lowered, the cows have done more of the harvesting. Second, as the center switched from March-April calving to MayJune calving, labor issues went away and expenses decreased. Third, the increase in cropping diversity allowed for more grazing options. Still, all the answers are not known because each individual producer has to examine the financial opportunities balanced with risk. But the opportunity to explore remains, and so does the potential to improve soil health, add diversity per acre, add pounds of forage per acre, add pounds of beef per acre and, we hope, add more dollars per acre. Pondering is good. HW Hereford.org

How’s Your Communication with Employees? A story I heard over a decade ago has always stuck with me to underscore the importance of communication. It goes something like this: A man sitting on a park bench overheard a young woman talking on her cell phone (when I originally heard this story the woman was talking on a pay phone). The woman asked the person on the other end of the line if she could speak to the human resources manager at the business. Once she had the manager on the phone, she stated she applied for a job with the company a few weeks prior and was wondering if the job was still open. The man watched as the young woman kept a calm expression on her face while listening to the person on the other end. Finally, the woman said, “I am glad to hear you hired someone who meets your expectations. It is nice to hear you are happy with your choice and I hope everything works well for you in the future.”
“It’s hard [for employees] to feel pride and ownership when they don’t understand where things are going.” — Jason Fried As the young woman hung up from the call, the man on the park bench apologized for listening to her conversation. He also said, “I am sorry you didn’t get the job, but you certainly were gracious on the phone. With that attitude, I am sure you will find employment soon.” The young woman smiled and said, “Oh, I was hired for that job two weeks ago. I just had to find out how I was doing!” This story serves as a great reminder that employees want feedback. They want to know how they are doing. So often, managers only let their staff know when they’ve done something wrong. Strive to be the leader (or the parent) who provides feedback for positive performance by employees (and children) as well.
Taking pride in a task

A similar story about communication came from an Inc. magazine column written by Jason Fried, co-founder of a Chicago-based software company. In his column, Fried explained he had a small team of about 10 staff working on a big new project for the company — but that meant about 805 of the company’s staff were left out of the loop on the project. Fried figured he’d clue them in as the project progressed. But instead, confusion and rumors began to spread, and the lack of communication caused some division within the company. Fried realized, “We have a great vision, but it had been locked away in the heads of a few people…It’s easy to forget, as a leader, that when employees don’t get the wide view, not only does the point of their work escape them, but it can also lead to real frustration. It’s hard to feel pride and ownership when you don’t understand where things are going.” I think Fried’s last line bears repeating because it is so true, no matter what business you are in: “It’s hard [for employees] to feel pride and ownership when they don’t understand where things are going.” If you are a manager or a leader of a group, let these stories be a wake-up call and realize that no employees like doing their daily tasks in the dark.

Dams of Distinction
DAMS
OF DISTINCTION
2,542 Dams of Distinction Honored
Dams of Distinction
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 “Genetics” 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 2016 Dams of Distinction list recognizes 2,542 Hereford cows from 650 Hereford performance herds in 40 different states. For 36 years Rausch Herefords, Hoven, S.D., has led Hereford breeders with the most cows qualifying as Dams of Distinction. With 444 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.

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 2016 Dam of Distinction, a cow must have: 1) Weaned a calf born since Jan. 1, 2015. 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, 2016. 6) Had a progeny average 205-day adjusted weaning weight ratio of at least 105.

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 34 for the criteria a cow must meet to be recognized as a Dam of Distinction or visit Hereford.org and click “Genetics” 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 106 sires recognized as Sires of Distinction follows. 4V O4G Page 141- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 42153445 4V X C H JA Dom 210 - - - - - - - - - - - - 42275248 AGA 121G Stanmore 20J- - - - - - - - - - 42319233 AH Yankee 10S- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 42732198 ALH 0246 Payne 0407 - - - - - - - - - - - - 42508561 ARF Revenue R188 E - - - - - - - - - - - - - 42186434 AWS Sounder 434 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 42512323 BAR JZ Premiere 882T - - - - - - - - - - - - 42798485 BBH BLB 122L Newman 310N - - - - - - 42413738 BBSF 2N Rancher 235R - - - - - - - - - - - 42668640 C Harland Too ET- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 42888808 C Pure Gold 4215- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 42542737 CES WCF JWS Speedway 157HE19ET- - 42706000 Church View Headliner II 271S - - - - - 42700212 Churchill Neon 626S - - - - - - - - - - - - - 42696418 Churchill Sensation 028X- - - - - - - - - 43092364 CL 1 Domino 955W - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 42982422 CO L1 Domino 847U - - - - - - - - - - - - - 42941187

ACCESS HEREFORD The AHA launches new mobile-friendly website. by Julie Mais
I
t’s no surprise to say we are living in a mobile age, and a strong web presence for any association or business is a necessity. On March 1, the American Hereford Association (AHA) launched a revised version of Hereford.org, an update from the previous website created in 2009.
Eight years later, today’s Hereford breeders and cattlemen have the world at their fingertips thanks to smartphones and tablet devices. With this in mind, the AHA Board voted to bring Hereford.org up to speed with the technology needs of its members.
Not only did Hereford.org get a facelift in appearance, but when members visit the website via smartphone or tablet, they quickly notice a major difference — Hereford.org is mobile friendly.
Serving the membership “Early in the development stage we surveyed members about the website,” says Kaylen Baker, AHA marketing and communications coordinator. “We wanted to know what features of the current website were used the most and what members wanted to see in a new one. What we found was that they most wanted a mobile-friendly website.” Today, Hereford.org features a “responsive web design,” meaning the site will seamlessly format to whatever device is being used to access it. “Hereford breeders are doing more work through their phones and tablets than ever before,” Baker says. “We wanted to make Hereford.org accessible wherever and whenever breeders are.”
Developing the site
From the Hereford.org hompage, users can click on “EPD Search” in the top right hand corner. Also, the homepage is a “Search” box where visitors can type a word, phrase or topic to find information anywhere on the site.

Baker says in addition to the new responsive feature, it was important to the development team to create a clean and fresh look to stay at the forefront of the progressive changes in the industry. To develop the new site, the AHA teamed up with Kansas City, Mo., company Propaganda3. “This company came highly recommended to us,” Baker says. “Their team understood what we wanted and needed in a website from user and staff efficiency standpoints. We’ve had a great partnership along with shared vision and ideas. Another key benefit Hereford.org
to working with Propaganda3 is accessibility for website support — their office is only a 5-minute drive from the AHA office.” Early last fall, AHA staff began combing through the former website’s content and features. “Every piece of the website was looked at by staff in the different departments,” Baker explains. “We worked together to make the wealth of content already on our site more consumable and fill in any gaps.”
Site features Baker says the end result met the goals set forth by the Board, membership and staff — Hereford.org is a progressive, responsive and user-friendly website for its audience of seedstock producers, commercial breeders and junior members. Not only is the new site easily navigable, it’s equally eyeappealing with clean lines, classic colors and striking photos of Hereford cattle. The homepage hosts quick links at the top of the page to EPD Search and MyHerd.org, along with Certified Hereford Beef’s (CHB®) website, Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA), the Hereford World page and National Hereford Women. Visitors may also sign up for e-News. Scrolling down the homepage highlights recent Association news, upcoming events and a word from members and breeders promoting the advantages of Hereford genetics. For seedstock producers, Association information can be found under the “About” tab including breed and Association history, staff and Board information as well as contact info. New to the site are pages to host Annual Reports and career opportunities with AHA including internships and Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) ambassador positions. Hereford breeders will want to check out “Member Services” to find membership information continued on page 50... Hereford.org
Hereford.org is now mobile friendly. Easily navigate the website on a smartphone or tablet from anywhere.
New to the revised site is an online membership form. By clicking on “Member Services” and then “Join AHA” Hereford breeders can renew or join the Association.
Each year the AHA recognizes outstanding Hereford breeders for their dedication to the breed. Now, Hereford.org is home to an archive of past Hall of Fame and Hall of Merit recipients as well as those recognized as Century and Golden Breeders. To find all recognition programs, click on “Genetics” then “Recognition Programs.”

and animal registration material along with herd management tools and Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program information. A new feature in this section is the online membership form. The “Genetics” tab brings visitors to a place that focuses on breed improvement and tools available for Hereford breeders. The website now hosts pages to recognize past Century and Golden Breeders, Hall of Fame inductees and Hall of Merit recipients. In the “Commercial” section, visitors can learn about the Hereford Advantage Program, CHB and feeder cattle sales, and marketing opportunities. Here, the site hosts information on the value of heterosis and the important role Hereford cattle can play in a successful commercial operation.

Developing Heifers
Learn how to promote longevity and to increase pregnancy rates in your herd. by Kayla M. Wilkins
I
n an average cow herd, only approximately 30% of heifers bred actually give birth. From a profitability and reproductive management standpoint, that statistic is an obvious challenge to cattlemen today. In response to the challenge facing the industry, Cliff Lamb, Ph.D., department head and professor for the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University, College Station, has spent his career aiming to make cattle operations more productive and more economically efficient from a reproductive management standpoint. In his more than 25 years of experience, Lamb says even with the continued progression of reproductive technologies in the beef industry, the answer lies in two very simple concepts — early attainment of puberty and early

pregnancy. During the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s Cattlemen’s College, he said many producers seek the newest technology available and simply overlook the tools already available. “We have a lot of reproductive technologies that are underutilized,” he notes. “It seems like we are always looking for the next silver bullet to make things different.”
Pregnancy rates The foundational concept behind adding longevity and increasing productivity within a herd is
increasing pregnancy rates. Lamb says it comes down to heifers becoming pregnant earlier in the first breeding season, so they remain in the herd longer and are more productive. “The thing that dictates when an animal becomes pregnant earlier in the weaning season more than anything else is that those heifers have to attain puberty,” he says. “If they do not attain puberty before the first day of breeding season, the chances of that heifer becoming pregnant are pretty slim.”
Even with the continued progression of reproductive technologies in the beef industry, the answer lies in two very simple concepts — early attainment of puberty and early pregnancy. Hereford.org
According to Lamb there are several factors that aid in building a better and more productive cow such as the attainment of puberty, body weight and age, genetics, nutritional management, body condition score (BCS), and handling — attainment of puberty being key. To illustrate these principles, Lamb, along with a team of researchers at the University of Florida, conducted a project implementing a variety of reproductive management strategies on a mismanaged herd with a long breeding season and low pregnancy rates. Pregnancy being four times more economical than any other trait a producer can select for, it easily topped their list of criteria. Along with the added pressure on pregnancy, Lamb notes other changes they made to enhance reproductive development. They tightened the breeding season to avoid extra labor during calving and to promote uniformity in the calf crop. They also avoided natural service sires simply because there is tremendous cost and risk associated with exclusively using natural service sires. For a cow to stay in their herd she had to: • calve by 2-years-old • have a calf every year • need no assistance during calving • provide genetic resources for the calf to reach potential to produce a calf that performs • maintain a BCS comparable with the rest of the herd • maintain a quiet disposition In addition, Lamb and his team implemented some reproductive management criteria such as only keeping heifers that became pregnant in the first 25 days of the breeding season, tightening the breeding season and exposing every female to synchronization and artificial insemination (AI). “The benefits of synchronization to me, are what you do to make heifers attain puberty quicker,” Hereford.org
he explains. “Think of it as a reproductive management tool to stimulate cycling animals to start a cycle and that is why we use it.” At the conclusion of the research study, Lamb says the most valuable takeaway was the increase in profit by simply utilizing these reproductive management tools. In 2013 the calves produced were worth $169 more than the calves produced six years earlier on a constant calf basis — that statistic has only increased. “That has an economical and production advantage on your operation just because she became pregnant early as a heifer,” Lamb says.
“Simply adding some supplement to those animals while you are developing them will allow them to hit puberty sooner.” — Cliff Lamb
Reproduction management When it comes to utilizing these reproduction management tools, Lamb says some producers may become overwhelmed with the variety of tools out there. He advises that they utilize synchronization and AI. In addition, he notes the Beef Breed Task Force as an excellent resource for protocols for fixed type AI systems that are conducive to whole-herd management. Still, only 60-70% of heifers become pregnant in a typical herd. The question still stands — why? Lamb explains there are a variety of reasons for embryotic loss and the reality is almost 100% of heifers are pregnant initially and lose the embryo on day seven or eight. Lamb identifies some of the reasons for lost pregnancies as genetics, maternal recognition, stress and nutrition, among others. At the end of the day, Lamb still emphasizes pregnancy as the most important factor in reproductive management. “I don’t care what the heifers look like in terms of their phenotype if they become pregnant because they are going to make more money for me,” Lamb says. The priority on an operation remains attaining puberty quickly and becoming pregnant early in the breeding season for maximum profit. Another big factor in
reaching this goal is managing BCS and nutrition. In a study done by Lamb and his team, a herd of cows at a BCS of 5 or 6 were divided into two groups. The first half was maintained at a moderate BCS while the other was pushed to a BCS 7. Then both groups were put on an energy restriction until they stopped cycling. Both groups stopped cycling at a BCS 3, and it was no surprise the cows that started at a BCS 7 took an extra 90 days to stop cycling. continued on page 60...

...Developing Heifers continued from page 59
In the second half of the experiment, increased energy was provided until the cows reached a BCS that prompted them to resume cycling. The original moderate heifers resumed cycling once they reached a moderate BCS of 5, but, in contrast, the BCS 7 heifers did not cycle until reaching a BCS 6. Because of nutritional memory, the BCS 7 cows were more comfortable being fatter and could not cycle until they reached that threshold. Lamb says the study illustrates why the change in condition over a period of a few months is more meaningful than absolute condition. For example,
60
/ April 2017
two heifers may be in good condition at a BCS 6, but if they started as a 7, they may feel as if they are starving and that situation directly affects their reproductive development. From a nutritional management standpoint, Lamb advises producers to keep this concept in mind and to supplement with higher quality hay or grain. “Simply adding some supplement to those animals while you are developing them will allow them to hit puberty sooner,” he explains. “That will allow them to get pregnant sooner and then they will become more productive cows for you later on.”
Keeping in mind the goal of increased pregnancy rates, Lamb says simply handling cattle more frequently has proven to be an asset, as well. A study done at the University of Florida divided a herd into two groups, working the first group through chutes every day and leaving the second group in a pasture without human contact. Study results indicated females handled more extensively not only became pregnant sooner but also attained puberty earlier. With all the technologies available to enhance reproductive development, Lamb still stresses the foundational concept of simply attaining pregnancy. He advises producers to utilize the proper avenues to do so on a per operation basis. “Just remember, whatever you can do to get animals pregnant sooner in the breeding season is probably the number one thing that is going to allow that female to stay in the herd longer and be more productive in your operation down the road,” Lamb says.

Tough Decisions life of animals in the herd. However, prolonged health issues such as persistent respiratory problems, prolapses, pinkeye and other ailments may be deciding factors to cull females from your herd. One thing to remember, it’s much more cost efficient being proactive versus being reactive to health problems. A proper vaccination and deworming program can lessen medical costs down the road.

Consider disposition, reproductive efficiency and economics when making culling decisions. by Nick Simmons, University of Florida Extension

ne of the toughest decisions for producers to make is when to pull the trigger to cull or sell breeding animals from their herd. Oftentimes these cows have been part of the production cycle on a farm for several years and have made a significant contribution to the livestock operation. There are several things to consider as you decide which animals should be culled from your herd to make room for replacement heifers.

Good animal-handling practices throughout the production system can improve the disposition of cattle. No one ever likes that quick trip over the fence to avoid injury from an upset cow. Temperament or disposition can be one of the most obvious reasons to cull a cow from your herd. Disposition is a moderately heritable trait, so producers can make improvements through genetic selection and observation. Plus, one crazy fool can be a bad influence on the entire herd. One thing to remember, however, a protective cow of a newborn calf doesn’t necessarily constitute a disposition issue, especially in the first few days of the calf’s life. This behavior can be beneficial to keep predators and other cattle from harming the calf.

eproductive efficiency
A producer once told me, “If she can’t breed, I have no need, she can go.” However, if there are numerous non-breeders or open cows in the herd, there may need to be a major management adjustment. This statement certainly does have validity related to a small percentage of the herd. Many operations allow a 2-cycle opportunity for cows to breed, especially in an artificial insemination (AI) situation. Some producers allow for clean-up bulls
to capture the last few cows that did not breed, but this approach eliminates the purpose of a tight calving window. Late-calving cows, defined as those that calved after the first 42 days of the calving season, are most likely to breed late again next season. These cows also should be noted. Every calf produced by a latecalving cow already has given up at least 42 days of calf gain. With an average daily gain of 2.38 lb. a day, late-born calves are practically 100 lb. lighter. This difference begs the question, can you afford a collective loss of 100 lbs. per calf for 2, 3, 4 or more years? In addition to open cows, late-calving cows should also be considered.
E
conomics
Cull-cattle sales contribute roughly 20% of the annual gross income of your operation. There is value in removing poorer performing females to make room for replacement females with improved genetic potential. As mentioned above, cows that wean lighter calves generate less income, so considering the break-even price for each cow is important. The loss of profit from the least productive cows can hurt the income of the entire herd. A practical culling plan can boost overall herd performance, as it will allow for the addition of more productive females to take the place of poorer performing ones. Whether replacements are raised or purchased, culling is a real opportunity to improve the genetic potential of the herd. While young heifers may not produce at the highest level their first year, in the long run, they should provide a significant improvement to both calf quality and performance. The most important thing is to develop a plan of action for culling, so you can also develop a solid plan for quality replacements. HW Hereford.org

HEREFORD MOM DIARIES Women in the Barn? Doing Fine. Unless you’ve been on an exotic island getaway with no Internet or cable news, you’ve likely noticed a bit of coverage of women’s rights marches and protests across the country in the past few months. Women and men have marched for a variety of topics, ranging from the environment, abortion, prisoners’ rights, voting rights, a free press, affordable healthcare, gun safety, racial and gender equality, and a higher minimum wage. I am, in no way, downplaying the importance of Americans — men or women — being able to express their opinions on such topics. In fact, many personal friends marched in various cities across the country. And God bless America for this right. One thing I’ve noticed, however, is I don’t recall any friends in agriculture expressing their concerns about women’s rights by participating in these marches. There could be a variety of reasons for this — positive and, perhaps, negative. But one overriding theme I can’t ignore is as a woman who was raised in agriculture and who now has a career in the agricultural industry, I don’t believe my rights are any less than those of a man’s. And I would be willing to bet many of my friends in similar positions feel the same way. No, it hasn’t been an easy ride, but, really, is it ever easy to achieve success, regardless of gender?
Working harder I was raised by two hard-working parents who believed anyone could achieve their goals with a bit of hard work and persistence. My mom drove tractors and helped around her family’s farm as a teenager. When something needs to be fixed, to this day, she figures out how to fix it. My dad taught me how to do the cattle chores right alongside him and

And I’m certainly not the only woman in agriculture who has found her way.

my brother. He expected me to do the same work as my brother. And he even expected me to wear Wrangler 13MWZs — just like my brother — for eternity. The day I bought my first pair of Rockies was life changing. When I became the first female in several years to become a member of our high school FFA chapter, there were a few guys who joked and teased. But that behavior just encouraged me to work even harder to prove myself in soil judging, parliamentary procedure and speech contests. When I graduated from college and began a career as an agricultural writer and reporter, I was once told by a dairy farmer source, “You’re not too bad at your job, for being a girl.” Another coworker told me, “I knew they’d hire a girl right out of college, even if she wasn’t the most qualified for the job.” I could have been offended. But instead, I worked even harder to prove my worth and abilities as more than qualified for the job, period. Man or woman. Of course, I had incredible support from my parents, grandparents and mentors in the industry. It certainly hasn’t been achieved alone.
As I look around at my friends in the agricultural industry, I see intelligent, wise, thoughtful, talented women making a difference. They’re leading agricultural marketing companies and agricultural businesses. They’re managing successful agricultural publications across the country. They’re working side-by-side with leaders in their state and national governments to make real change in the agricultural industry. Yes, they’re the ones in charge of feeding and working hair and helping their children prepare their cattle for the county fair and junior nationals. They’re up before sunrise on show mornings, ensuring everyone is in his or her place and on time on show day. Just try to tell me they’re not an integral part of a family’s show ring success. Not possible. I’m not here to voice my opinion on protests and marches and their impact on society as a whole. But one thing is certain: When women in the agricultural industry have seen an opportunity to rise above the challenges and to achieve all that a man can achieve — sometimes more — they pull on their boots and put in the work to make it happen. As parents in the cattle industry, we should be proud. We are raising women who can achieve great things in the world. And we are developing hard-working, responsible men, who also have a great respect for the women working alongside them. Perhaps society, as a whole, should take a walk through the cattle barns. I have a feeling they’d see women are getting along just fine. HW

Strategy to Market U.S. Beef Worldwide When the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF), contractor to the beef checkoff, is making plans to increase the movement of U.S. beef into export markets, it keeps a “3-D” strategy in mind: 1) develop, 2) displace and 3) defend. That is, develop new markets and new sectors in existing markets, displace the competition and defend the U.S. market share against aggressive competition by other beef exporters worldwide. Developing new beef markets — a case study: Developing a new market for U.S. beef is not an overnight endeavor. Consider Central America: The region is home to many countries at various stages of development, yet the initial strategy in each country is to bring buyers and sellers together. The beef checkoff is supporting this effort through the annual Latin American Buyer Showcase, which brings hundreds of buyers and
74
/ April 2017
sellers together. Once those initial relationships have been established, the growing pool of loyal beef users makes the product visible to other players, especially among those in the hotel, restaurant and institutional (HRI) sectors, and the impetus for them to also purchase U.S. beef grows stronger. Initially, many accounts in these target markets have been conservative with their U.S. beef orders. However, through educational seminars and workshops on alternative beef cuts, importers began diversifying their U.S. beef portfolios, adding brisket, top blade, flap steak and sirloin. Some importers have also begun to explore further opportunities with U.S. beef at retail – through both traditional and online purveyors.
alternative cuts such as rounds, which add quality and variety to menus and meat cases. Driving further growth, USMEF collaborated with partners in the Mexican market to tap into new market segments and channels with major importer, processor and retailer accounts. For example, working with a new account, Grupo Bafar (a major importer and further processor that owns about 250 small convenience stores throughout Mexico), USMEF set up a joint promotion in 87 Carne Mart meat boutique stores located primarily in the Yucatan and Chihuahua regions. After promoting a product mix of nine different U.S. beef cuts, U.S. beef sales were up 37% in volume compared to the previous year.
Displacing the competition — a case study: Multiyear efforts funded by the checkoff have been effective in replacing Australian beef in the meat cases of key retail chains in South Korea. There, Costco store managers were provided with information about increasing consumer confidence in the safety of U.S. beef, along with consumer perception of the product’s quality. Because of these efforts, 15 Costco warehouses are converting from imported chilled beef from Australia to 100% U.S. product. With the increasing number of U.S. beef end users in the market, as well as growth in consumer confidence in the product (now at 54%), Korea’s imports of U.S. beef will finally surpass imports of Australian beef. In 2016, U.S. beef exports to Korea jumped by 42% to nearly 395 million lb., valued at $1.06 billion – an increase of 31% from the previous year.
Tools for the three Ds: A variety of tools is used to develop new markets, to displace competition and to defend market share. These include building trade relationships and gathering intelligence about the market; working at world food trade shows to reinforce relationships and to find new opportunities; building informed trade teams that foster business relationships between buyers and sellers; providing seminars, training and promotions that encourage retailers and foodservice operators to add U.S. beef to their offerings and then to expand those offerings; and increasing communications efforts through traditional and online channels to reach targeted buyers and to stimulate their purchases. Foreign marketing efforts are a vital part of “beefing up” beef consumption around the world. But, whether the marketing efforts are down the street or on the opposite side of the globe, they all depend on the checkoff to serve as the catalyst that lights a fire under those marketing efforts.

Defending strong markets for U.S. beef — a case study: Despite the challenges of Mexico’s weak peso and higher U.S. prices, U.S. beef is performing well in Mexico. Checkoff-support efforts leveraged the increased supply of U.S. beef to win back customers in Mexico – especially by promoting economically priced
