World’s Perspective

Another ‘New Beginning’ Cliché

by Diane Meyer

In the spirit of spring, appreciate the opportunities a fresh start can bring.

Diane Meyer is the editor of Hereford World. She can be reached at dmeyer@hereford.org.

Standing in the rubble of my childhood home last September, I half-jokingly pointed out I wouldn’t have to clean out the house when Dad died. His home had burned down in the Napa Valley wildfires two days earlier. Three stories worth of debris lay collapsed in our basement, but everyone was okay. We had everything and nothing all at once. A few months later, I occasionally think about my high school yearbooks or FFA jacket tucked away in the closet. I imagine playing the upright baby grand piano in the living room with my first deer head looking down from the wall. But, something I realize when I think about all that “stuff” laying in a pile of rubble — I don’t actually miss it. I miss the snapshot of time each item symbolizes. I’m thankful for a sound mind that hasn’t robbed me of memories. Those are more valuable than any object. With memories, you still have everything you think is gone.

My dad, Bud, and his dog, Lou, survey the serene scene of their home in St. Helena, Calif., after it burned down in the Glass Fire, Sept. 28, 2020.

| April 2021

Something else I realize when I think about all that stuff laying in a pile of rubble — this is a fresh start. In the spirit of spring, let’s be thankful for new beginnings. Sometimes, we need a clean slate. You never know what opportunities can arise from desolation.

In this issue As we “focus on females” in this month’s Hereford World, we begin by honoring one of our own. Celebrate Christy Benigno on Page 30 as we wish her a fulfilling retirement after 15 years of exceptional editorial design for the Association. In this issue, we feature the 2020 Dams of Distinction (DOD). Turn to Page 36 for the report and then flip to Page 56 to learn about what it takes for a cow to be a DOD. The Hereford bulls recognized in 2020 for siring efficient, fertile and productive females are listed on Page 68. As a writer, there are stories you are proud to share and stories you feel honored to share. I am honored to share the story of Martha Dixon of River Circle Farm, Hartsville, Tenn., on Page 44. When American Hereford Association Field Representative Tommy Coley told me about this idea, I was excited to highlight a strong cattlewoman for this issue. Little did I know the extent of Martha’s influence on the Hereford breed. Needless to say, I will never forget the time I shared some iced beverages with Martha, Julie Chapin and Tommy and Kim Coley in the “Heart of Tennessee.” Cheers to these lifelong friends who are inspired by good and inspire good in others. Cheers to new beginnings, whether they rise from ashes or bloom after storms. Cheers to a fresh start. May your spring be bright and your smile brighter.

Breed Focus Distinct Dependability and Diligence by Jack Ward

Dependability, diligence and hard work pay off on the ranch, in the cow herd and in the office.

Jack Ward is the executive vice president of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at jward@hereford.org.

This is the Year of the Ox. The ox occupies the second position in the Chinese zodiac. There are 12 zodiac animals, and the most recent Years of the Ox are 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 and 2021. Having an honest nature, oxen are known for diligence, dependability, strength and determination. The ox is a hard worker. Zodiac experts believe during a Year of the Ox that hard work will be rewarded more than usual. Farmers and ranchers certainly understand the importance of hard work, dependability and determination. When much of the world was locked down in 2020, our farmers and ranchers stayed committed to calving cows, planting crops and working to produce food for the world.

Distinct dams This issue of the Hereford World features Dams and Sires of Distinction (DOD and SOD), programs that recognize efficient, fertile and productive Hereford females and their sires. It’s said, when you find a good sire, he will have a good cow — or several — in his pedigree. As you will read, there are very strict criteria for a DOD and SOD to identify cattle that meet the highest standards of commercial production. A DOD will need to maintain a good calving interval combined with a nursing ratio that sets her apart from her contemporaries. To be honored as an SOD, a bull must produce at least seven DODs. In each case, you will find the DOD/SOD designation after honored animals’ names when doing an animal or EPD inquiry on Hereford.org. You can search the American Hereford Association (AHA) database to find cows and sires that have qualified. As Hereford genetics continue to see expanded use in the commercial

| April 2021

Year of the Ox

industry, we must stay committed to traits that have been the backbone of the breed for generations. Those traits include efficiency, longevity, fertility and disposition. Producers build upon these traits with calving ease coupled with the right amount of growth to push the needle for endproduct merit. We need to be good stockmen, using all the tools to make genetic improvement while being committed to customers.

Best wishes A tribute to Christy Benigno, AHA editorial designer/assistant, is also printed in this issue. After nearly 16 years at the AHA, Christy will be retiring. She is a hard-working, dependable person, and she will certainly be missed at the AHA. In retirement, Christy plans to do some traveling and enjoy life. I want to personally thank her for everything she has done at AHA. She is a wonderful person, and all of us will miss her smile. Hereford.org

Performance Matters

Keep Building Them Better!

by Shane Bedwell

Hereford genetics deliver on all fronts and will profit in future cattle markets.

Shane Bedwell is the chief operating officer and director of breed improvement of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at sbedwell@hereford.org.

| April 2021

All signs during spring’s bull sale season have indicated cattle producers want and desire Hereford bulls. No doubt, it’s a great feeling as a breeder that the product you produce is recognized as a key piece of the commercial industry. There are a multitude of reasons cattlemen select Hereford germplasm, but we must keep focusing on the key attributes that make Hereford genetics ideal. The age-old traits of docility, soundness and fertility have carried us to this point, and there is no reason to let up on these selection criteria.

Full steam ahead Efficient, high-quality beef production needs to be on our minds as we enter a beef cycle which appears very optimistic for the cow-calf producer. The bulls generated from this year’s breeding season may very well set record calf prices. Furthermore, bulls sold in 2023 are going to sire the cattle hitting the fat cattle market in 2025. I do not have a crystal ball to know exactly what 2025 will hold, but I like our odds when it comes to a consumer who wants high-quality beef. I like our odds when it comes to a feedlot owner who wants great feed conversion from fat steers. I like our odds when it comes to a commercial producer who wants replacements to last and function as productive females. It is the perfect trifecta, and Hereford genetics will be needed and demanded to get the job done. The bottom line is we must deliver on all fronts. You know your herds best and must face deficiencies

with a progressive mindset to get better. Utilizing available tools to help correct an area of deficiency is certainly a great way to get your economically relevant traits on the right side of breed average, and better yet, in the top third of the breed. When I think back to 2015’s record sale prices, there are a lot of similarities to what has happened this year. Commercial cattlemen have had the luxury to upgrade their bull batteries and there has been a tremendous amount of herd improvement because of this trend. To keep this great Hereford momentum going, we must keep building bulls better to fully capitalize when the next great sale season is upon us.

You’re invited I want to invite you to the 2021 Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Symposium in Des Moines, Iowa, June 22-25. This is a great opportunity to attend the industry’s most progressive beef conference, in my opinion. Visit BIFsymposium.com for more information about the annual event.

owner at the time of birth determines its original owner.

• Whoever owns the dam at

the time of birth is who must register the calf. If a calf is purchased at the side of the dam, the original owner of the calf still has to register the calf and then transfer it to the new owner. If the dam was transferred recently, pay close attention to the transfer date on the dam to determine who needs to register the calf.

• An animal can only have one

It’s time to start thinking about registering those spring-born calves. When calf registration forms are missing required information, the registration is placed on hold until the breeder provides the correct information or data. To keep the process seamless, keep these points in mind:

Basic details

• First things first, you must

have an active, up-to-date membership with the American Hereford Association (AHA) to register any calves. Meaning, you renewed your annual dues and paid your member service fee.

• When registering embryo

transfer (ET) calves, a recipient dam can only be entered if the cow is a registered Hereford dam. If it is a commercial dam, that field must be left blank.

Breeder and owner status

• The conception date, or

embryo recovery date for ET calves, determines a calf’s breeder. Whereas, a cow’s

• A calf’s herd identification

breeder listed; multiple breeders cannot be listed. If the dam is multiply owned, pay close attention to which owner is listed as the breeder. You can choose to change who is listed as the breeder amongst the owners, but the breeder must be one of the dam’s owners at the time of conception.

• A calf born from a multiply-

owned dam must be registered to one of those dam’s original owners at the time of the calf’s birth. If the calf needs to be registered to all the owners listed on the dam, the calf must first be registered to one owner, and then transferred to all other owners who need to be listed on the calf.

Herd management

• Tattoos are required at the time of registration. They are not required in both ears, but the

(ID) must be unique to each calf. No two animals in the same herd can have the same herd ID. An easy way to do this is to simply make the herd ID the same as the animal’s tattoo. This is common practice with most breeders.

• Registration fees are calculated

based on the age of the calf when it is submitted for registration. Remember, registering your calves electronically either through MyHerd, HerfNet or imported files from herd management programs (CattleMax or GEM), will save you money. See Table 1 for calf registration rates.

Having trouble navigating MyHerd? Contact AHA Customer Service at 816-842-3757. To sign up for MyHerd, email your member number to myherd@hereford.org.

Why Are We Here?

by Noah Benedict

What drives someone to do what they do? How can one put into words their love and passion for someone or something? Why are we here? At some point in a National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board member’s career, they are asked these questions, or will even ask themselves these questions. These questions are difficult. They force a person to be real, open and honest about themselves and what they are passionate about. I will try to answer to these questions from my perspective.

What drives me? Surrounding myself with 12 friends who share my passion for Hereford cattle drives me. The team’s pursuit of success and love for the NJHA drives me.

My little sister, Faith, drives me. Faith is 11 years old and serving as her role model — and every other junior making their way through the NJHA — drives me. I want to be the best I can for these kids, so they can one day lead young people who look up to them.

How do I put into words my love for the NJHA? Chairman Montana Lawrence, lawre474@morris.umn.edu Vice chairman Abigail Spindle, abigail.spindle1@gmail.com Communications chair Bailey Morrell, bsmshowcattle5@gmail.com Fundraising chair Noah Benedict, nojo1132@gmail.com Leadership chair Luke Daniels, luke@circleh.info Membership chair Wyatt Lawrence, wyattherf99@gmail.com Directors Brooklyn Adam, brooklynadam113@gmail.com JW Cox, jwcox2009@gmail.com Samuel Lawrence, slfittingservices@icloud.com Lauren McMillan, laurentmcmillan@gmail.com Ralston Ripp, ralstonripp@gmail.com Libby Rushton, libbyrushton2001@gmail.com Director of youth activities Amy Cowan 816-842-3757, acowan@hereford.org JrHereford.org

| April 2021

I can’t and don’t want to imagine my life without my first Hereford show heifer. I was hooked from the time I first stepped in the ring at 5 years old. I love Hereford cattle and the people in the breed, and the NJHA has turned my love into a passion. I want every person who attends the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) to have a great experience, and I will do anything I can to make that happen. When my junior show career ends this summer, it will be safe to say I spent 14 years of my life cultivating a passion and loving every second along the way.

cattle and the NJHA board gives me. I am here because of the hard work behind every champion slap — from both the exhibitor and the people behind the scenes. I am here because of my family’s love for Hereford cattle, and the qualities the NJHA instills. I’m here because I love the NJHA.

Why are you here? Juniors, I challenge you to ask yourselves these questions. Look at your answers and see if you want to be part of #TeamHereford. I’m curious to know, why are you here? Please keep an eye out for information about the Hereford Spectacular April 20, an online fundraiser for the 2021 JNHE. It’s an event you don’t want to miss!

Why am I here? I am here because of the joy in seeing someone at the JNHE win a contest. I am here because of the competitive opportunities showing Hereford.org

Foundation’s Focus

#HerefordStrong

by Chloé Fowler

Through education, scholarship and leadership, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) instills values needed to continue the upward momentum within the industry. However, foundations cannot support the next generation without support in return. Industry leaders bridge this gap and create success for those in need. One such supporter is Merck Animal Health, a global organization that believes working with the producer and the consumer as partners — not

competitors — will improve animal health and build relationships. “While we may not be able to help you control the weather, we can help you bring strong, heavy, uniform herds to market,” the company states. After a year like 2020, followed by one of the most powerful winter storms in history hitting the Midwest and Texas, it is evident producers are at the mercy of many factors outside of their control. However, Merck is committed to supporting your farm or ranch, in the present and future, with your children and

the next generation of Hereford breeders in mind.

Stronger together Merck is partnering with HYFA for the next four years to donate funds when Hereford producers engage with Merck’s animal health products. To participate, simply take a picture featuring Merck products on your ranch or farm, preferably with some Hereford cattle in the mix. Then, send the picture to any of the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) social media platforms including the AHA, National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and the HYFA pages on Facebook and Instagram. Be sure to include #HerefordStrong in the message or subject. For every image received, Merck will donate $100 to HYFA. Photos submitted may also be featured on AHA’s and Merck’s social media, as well. Anyone is eligible to submit photos. Both juniors and adult members alike can share photos to help the Foundation reach its $15,000 goal. This partnership promotes innovation and growth for the next generation of Hereford breeders and livestock producers. Merck is proudly involved with supporting the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout, the AHA Annual Membership Meeting and Conference and the Junior National Hereford Expo. The industry leader’s involvement in Hereford programs will continue to make our future #HerefordStrong. Chloé Fowler is the American Hereford Association’s associate director of youth marketing and education. She can be reached at cfowler@hereford.org.

Showing Kids the Cattle Industry

Heifer Award Program Helps Youth by Diane Wilson

The National Hereford Women (NHW) Youth Heifer Award program honors outstanding youth and future leaders of the Hereford industry. Each year, this program helps a young person purchase a registered Hereford heifer, encouraging youth interest and participation in exhibiting and breeding Hereford cattle. Last year’s NHW Youth Heifer Award winner, Jacey Massey of Strathmore, Alberta, recalls how her inaugural trip to the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) and the NHW Youth Heifer Award made many of her dreams come true. “2020 was my first opportunity to attend Hereford junior nationals. I worked with one of my lifelong mentors, Cody Lafrentz, from Hoffman Ranch. Attending junior

nationals has always been a dream of mine,” she says. “I was successful with both females being strong contenders to division champions. I advanced in the intermediate showmanship and finished in the top 15.” Massey’s show success was just the beginning. She was also awarded the 2020 NHW Youth Heifer Award. This award honors outstanding young people, like Massey, and encourages them to stay involved in the Hereford industry. “I was lucky to win the youth heifer award program,” she recalls. “Burns Farm from Pikeville, Tenn., was the 2020 Donor of the $1,500 heifer credit. Our success as juniors depends on great families, such as the Burns. Given this opportunity, juniors get a hand-up to expand their breeding program from top producers.” Hereford breeders interested in donating to the Youth Heifer Award program may contact the NHW at nationalherefordwomen@gmail.com. The NHW sponsors many scholarships and contests during the JNHE, along with the National Hereford Queen program and the NHW Outstanding Hereford Woman of the Year. Go to HerefordWomen.com to learn more and to become a member. NHW would like to thank the 2021 Youth Heifer Award Donor, Wildcat Cattle Co. from Darlington, Wis., for their generous donation.

Youth Heifer Award rules Each year, the NHW and a Hereford breeder award a $1,500 credit to a National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) member during the JNHE toward the purchase of a registered Hereford heifer. In addition, the

Stock Show Mom by Kelly McConnell Thomas

She’s up late with the last load of laundry, waiting on the good socks that didn’t end up in the toes of the show kids’ boots. She hangs the rest of the show clothes by the door. Ironed and ready. Belt and boots to match. She packs snacks, making sure the cooler is stocked with drinks that don’t leave the show kids with purple faces. She’s in the barn working hair. Conditioner and her favorite scotch comb are her preferred tools. A mixture of new innovation and oldschool proven results. She scours cattle websites, shopping like other women shop Amazon. She fixes boo-boos and ices stepped-on toes. She’s also the first one to tell her show kids to go for it, to jump in, to get the job done. She expects nothing but their best because she gives nothing but her best. She’s a showmanship coach. Her nerves are abundant when her show kids are in the ring. She makes sure the kids keep blow-drying until the calf is actually dry. She reminds them that if they don’t do it right, they’re only cheating themselves.

She can fit a leg and ball a tail — combing, spraying, painting, clipping. Satisfaction is sitting back to look at her results. She’s the voice of reason before the auction. Then, in the heat of it all, with the heifer in the auction ring and the show kids at her side, she’s the one nodding her head to bid just one more time. She’s been stepped on, slobbered on, pooped on and peed on by the show stock — and the kids. She shakes it off because that’s just part of it. Pajamas and rubber boots are as much a part of her wardrobe as the slacks, coveralls, scrubs or dresses she wears to her day job. She’d rather be in the PJs and boots. She’s cool and calm until her show kids are picked on or act up. Then the “momma cow” comes out; anyone who’s ever tried to tag a freshly born calf with the cow on their heels can understand. She’s the heartbeat of it all. The schedule planner, the rule maker (and sometimes breaker), the disciplinarian of her own kids and, well, all the stock show kids.

NHW Board Director Kathy Bryan and daughter, Caly.

She’s the chaos coordinator. She has strong adhesive under her fingernails, easy-calving bulls on her brain and a fire in her soul. She loves a good joke and can out-sarcasm the best in the barn. She accidentally says things that make her face turn red — more than she cares to admit. She can tote and carry. She can break and show. She’s a pooper scooper, a bucket hauler and a feed sack thrower. She’s proud of her family. She doesn’t get enough credit. She loves every minute. She’s a Stock Show Mom.

HEALTH Devastating duo Two of the most important viral pathogens for which vaccines are available to prevent reproductive losses are bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) virus and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR). These viruses affect the fetus differently depending on when the dam is exposed to them. As shown in Figure 1, BVD causes clinical syndromes ranging from infertility to abortion. The most economically devastating effect is the formation of persistently infected (PI) calves. PI animals are disease carriers — they will have and shed BVD for life.1 IBR can cause abortion as well as temporary infertility in nonpregnant females due to negative effects on the ovaries.

MLVs, KVs and CVs

Viral Vaccine Use in the Cow Herd Viral vaccines help protect against reproductive losses. by Chris Thomsen

he use of viral vaccines in mature cows is driven by multiple objectives including prevention of reproductive losses due to infectious diseases, prevention of respiratory disease and production

of high-quality colostrum. Several types of commercially available vaccines provide reproductive and respiratory protection including modified-live vaccines (MLVs), killed vaccines (KVs) and combination vaccines (CVs).

MLVs offer superior protection from reproductive losses, stimulate cell-mediated immune responses, and provide a longer duration of immunity.2 Still, there are restrictions to the timing of vaccine administration. Depending on the brand, MLVs are labeled to be given between 14 and 60 days prebreeding. Most MLVs are also labeled to be used in pregnant cows if the animal was vaccinated with an MLV within the last 12 months. The MLV label claim “safe for use in pregnant cows” came from manufacturers wanting labels that allowed use of MLVs in calves suckling pregnant cows. To ensure post-vaccination shedding of IBR or BVD from vaccinated calves was not an issue for pregnant cows, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) required manufacturers to administer MLVs directly to pregnant cows during each trimester of gestation. In these trials it was recognized that cows needed to have been vaccinated with an MLV vaccine within the previous 12 months for that vaccine to be safely given during pregnancy. Although most manufacturers have completed this testing and Hereford.org

have received the USDA label claim “safe for use in pregnant cows,” risk of reproductive loss when administering an MLV vaccine to a pregnant cow still exists. For this reason, it is important to follow the vaccine label instructions and discuss the use of MLVs in pregnant cows with your veterinarian prior to use. Recent studies3,4 have shown very slight reductions in conception rates in animals vaccinated prebreeding with an MLV compared to a KV or CV due to temporary adverse effects of vaccinal MLV IBR virus upon developing follicles in the ovaries. This effect is dependent upon both how many times an animal has been given MLV IBR vaccine in the past (the more doses of MLV IBR the animal has received, the less likely it is that there will be an effect on conception) and timing of the vaccination (the adverse effects become more likely the closer in time the vaccine is administered to breeding). On the other hand, studies have demonstrated severe reproductive losses in animals vaccinated with KV or CV when challenged with BVD.5 Producers should consult with their veterinarian about whether the potential effects on conception outweigh the many benefits of MLV vaccines. Regardless of which type of vaccine is chosen to use in the mature cow herd, evidence supports administering at least one dose of MLV to weaned heifers to stimulate cell-mediated immune responses. For reproductive protection, KVs are generally regarded as the

Figure 1: Potential clinical reproductive outcomes following BVD infection EED = early embryonic death. Immunotolerance = formation of a persistently infected or PI animal.

safest option because they can be given at any time during pregnancy. Drawbacks to KV usage include: slower onset of immunity due to the necessity of an initial two dose series, shorter duration of immunity requiring more frequent revaccination, reduced protection against the formation of a BVD PIs,1 greater likelihood of allergic reactions and post-vaccination lumps, uncertainty about the stimulation of cell-mediated immunity, and cost. CVs contain a mix of modified‑live and killed antigens. They are similar to KVs in that they are safe to administer at any time, but they also require a follow-up booster dose to achieve adequate protection.

deserves serious consideration. We must balance protection from reproductive losses with the safety of the vaccine. No single vaccination protocol will work for all producers. Protocols must be tailored to each individual operation and must consider management practices and disease pressure. Your local veterinarian is the best source of information to help you develop a vaccination protocol for your herd.

Commitment Makes a Century Six generations of the Taylor family have bred Hereford cattle in the Potomac Valley of West Virginia at Cottage Hill Farm. by Sharla Ishmael

t is hard to comprehend how long 100 years really is — more than a lifetime for most folks. A century ago, the Treaty of Versailles ended World War I, the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote and the Taylor family purchased their first Hereford. In 1920, Clarence Taylor brought the first Hereford cattle to Cottage Hill Farm in Petersburg, W.Va. Six generations later, the family still raises Herefords on the farm, with the youngest members of the Taylor clan already dreaming about their turn running Cottage Hill. That sort of legacy does not just happen.

“It takes commitment to the lifestyle,” says Mike Taylor, one of three sons of W.C. and Carole Taylor, who are the third generation at Cottage Hill. “My father and younger brother, Will, have been pretty much full-time farmers. They have a college education, but came back to the farm after college.” In addition to their Hereford cattle, the Taylors also manage 1 million broilers for Pilgrim’s Pride, a global food provider. The first broiler houses were built in 1990. That diversification brings in an additional revenue stream seven times a year, and recycling chicken litter as fertilizer cuts expenses for the entire operation.

Cottage Hill Farm was established in 1896 in the picturesque Potomac Valley, about 2.5 hours roughly west of Washington, D.C.

Corn and sorghum also grow on the farm, established at the base of the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. Located on the eastern side of the Allegheny Mountain Range, the area receives considerable rain shadow, but is an extra beautiful part of the U.S. “Normally it’s pretty good grass in this area,” Mike says. “This country is good for grazing cattle. We can run about three acres per cow.”

Early days When Clarence and Sarah Taylor bought the original 190-acre tract in 1896, the first cattle to graze Cottage Hill were Shorthorn. Soon, Herefords grew more Pictured is the Cottage Hill Farm family: (front row, l to r) Callie, Carole, W.C. “Sonny” and popular in the area. Katlyn; (back row, l to r) Will, Beth, David, Mark, Shari, Jonathan, Sarah, Nancy and Michael. “My father was showing some fat and father had in place and improves upon steers at that time. That’s how he got them. With successes in both the showring and over to the Herefords,” W.C. explains. “They were in the sale ring, David continues to critique the crossing Shorthorn and Hereford on the steers, herd, identify weaknesses and choose the next strictly commercial. The primary market for show steps appropriately. Using past wisdom and his cattle was the Eastern National Livestock Show in experiences, he plans to carry the legacy of the Timonium, Maryland.” Taylor family for many more years. Horned Herefords made up the herd from the Like David, Mike’s niece, Callie Taylor Dayton, 1920s until 1956, plus some backgrounding steers. was brought up through the National Junior The Hereford herd was relatively small — 25 to 30 Hereford Association. Callie says, “Having been cows at that time. When W.C. got involved in 1965, raised around Hereford cattle with my family, there were 125 cows, and the herd has since grown I feel a strong affinity toward the breed and its to 150 cows on 1,000 acres. Nowadays, Cottage Hill potential. Watching my grandparents work hard Hereford cattle are mostly polled, though they do to sustain the operation after so many years still have some horned genetics. inspires me to continue to support the family “We’ve seen several things that have improved business as much as possible.” with the Hereford breed over the years,” Mike That is a refreshing sentiment when too says. “The milking ability of the Hereford cow and often the younger generation is not interested in the meat and thickness of the animals, as well carrying on the tradition. At Cottage Hill Farm, as overall quality has all improved in the breed. there seems to be no shortage of commitment to Those are things we really work on as well.” upholding the Taylor family Hereford legacy for Cottage Hill has a good market for heifers another 100 years. as well as for bulls, which are marketed off the farm and at the West Virginia, Virginia and Kentucky beef expos. The Taylors also participate in consignment sales in Ohio and Kentucky. They truck feeder calves to Kentucky and Illinois to find a better price than what is typically offered for feeders in their area. From 1965 to 1985, the family hosted their own production sales.

Looking ahead So, what are the family’s plans for the future of Cottage Hill Farm? More of the same. “We have a lot of interested young family members,” Mike explains. “We have folks here that are committed and willing to do the work.” His nephew, David, works on the farm fulltime and was appointed cattle manager in 2016. David uses the genetics his grandfather, uncles Hereford.org

A favorite recipe As the resident Italian in the office, Christy is a go-to for cooking tips and recipes — for food and beverages. Here is one of her favorites, a ratatouille, which is best prepared with fresh vegetables from the garden of Joe Rickabaugh, American Hereford Association Director of Seedstock Marketing.

Christy deserves to experience much joy in this next chapter, whether that means exploring new places through travel, spending time with loved ones or enjoying life’s little things.

Cooperia (shown here) is one of the most prevalent internal parasites in U.S. cattle herds. And infected calves experience 7.4% less average daily gain.1

Add Safe-Guard® (fenbendazole) when you deworm to take out the profit-eating parasites that your ivermectin alone just can’t.2 If you’ve only been using ivermectin (or any other kind of -ectin), it’s time to add a dewormer from a different class to your protocol. Because you’re leaving resistant parasites in your cattle – and potential profit on the table. By adding Safe-Guard, you can kill more of those microscopic monsters than you could with ivermectin alone.3 This different-class dewormer is one more way Merck Animal Health Works for you.

We set out to achieve something knowing it would take hard work and determination. “Ambition” was the result! We wanted to build a herd bull with extra performance, power, data, and pigment from a pedigree stacked full of breed changing cows with udder quality, power, fertility, and fleshing ability. His donor dam exemplifies everything we feel needs to be behind a herd bull – bold bodied, soft made, broody, sound, fertile, great uddered, and produces at a high level! Add her to the household named cows in the rest of his pedigree including 79Z, 91H, 73S, 151U, X338, 24H, and 137M, Ambition has as much multi-dimensional breeding potential as any bull available on the open market today.

2,751 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. With 399 cows recognized in 2020, South Dakota is the top state this year. A list of the top 20 states and top 20 breeders who have females recognized follows. A cow receiving the Dam of Distinction honor meets the highest standards of commercial cattle production. The cow must do her job, but her owner must also 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, hover on “Genetics” and select “Recognition Programs.” Females attaining the Dam of Distinction status are recognized with “DOD” after their names on the AHA website.

To be honored as a 2020 Dam of Distinction, a cow must have:

1) Weaned a calf born since Jan. 1, 2019. 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, 2020. 6) Had a progeny average 205-day adjusted weaning weight ratio of at least 105.

photographer took a picture of us,” Martha recalls. “I guess if John Wayne had been selling chimpanzees, I’d be in the registered monkey business now.” It was 1971, just before her graduation from Middle Tennessee State University. Her father had read an article in Progressive Farmer about Wayne’s cattle sale, so they trekked across the country to buy their first registered Hereford bull, the last bull lot in the sale. In the years to follow, Martha and Wayne became good friends — a friendship which inspired her to give back to the next generation.

The gift

Always Shoot Straight

When Wayne’s cancer took over, Martha and her father went out West for one last visit. The day after their return to Tennessee, the Duke passed away at age 72 on June 11, 1979. That summer, the Kettle family of Kansas gifted a $1,000 scholarship in Wayne’s name, which was awarded at the 1980 National Western Stock Show in Denver. With no foreseeable plans to keep the scholarship going, Martha took action as the youngest and newly elected Hereford Auxiliary board director. “The Duke had been so good to me, and I thought so much of him that I wanted to continue the scholarship,” she says. “He was so good to people. He loved kids, and he loved Hereford cattle.” The first funds for the annual scholarship came from a quilt the American Hereford Auxiliary auctioned at the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) Annual Meeting, which sold for a whopping $2,500. Next, Martha asked Wayne’s business partner and friend, Louis Johnson, to donate $1,000 to the cause. He agreed, so long as Martha matched his contribution. She did.

Inspired by two Hereford icons, Martha Dixon of Hartsville, Tenn., lives by dignity and work ethic. by Diane Meyer

artha Dixon was 21 when she met “The Duke.” He was easily the tallest man in Casa Grande Hotel’s banquet room, dressed in a tuxedo and larger than life. The walls inside the Stanfield, Ariz., hotel echoed with the chatter of hundreds of elegantly dressed cattlemen, businessmen and Hollywood stars. Martha, who had made the trip from Hartsville, Tenn., for the 26 Bar Ranch sale, grabbed her father’s arm and said, “There’s John Wayne!” “No, it’s not,” he said, to which she replied, “Yeah, it is!” So she shot straight. “I just walked up to him, told him who I was and shook his hand, and his

One of Wayne’s original, signed calling cards and bandanas still bring luck to River Circle Farm. Martha wore this bandana when she won her first Dixie National.

As a special thank-you to Martha, the late Bud Snidow painted this picture of the “Lot 66” cow and her calf. Lot 66 is one of the first five registered River Circle Farm cows purchased from 26 Bar Ranch.

Several others followed suit, but no one made a bigger difference than Bud Snidow. Naturally, the artist auctioned an original Snidow painting in support, and all proceeds went to the scholarship. Snidow’s influence, as well as former Auxiliary president Lois Schlickau, ensured the future of the John Wayne Memorial Scholarship, for which Martha is forever grateful. “Bud is the greatest gentleman I’ve ever known. Ever. He did so much for so many people,” she says. In Bud’s honor, Martha, Bonnie Coley and other auxiliary directors started the annual Bud Snidow Award — a buckle given to a junior who embodies the former AHA assistant secretary’s spirit. “They have to show great character, integrity, honesty, kindness and generosity,” Martha describes. “It is like the Hereford award for Miss Congeniality.” The act of kindness certainly touched Snidow, who sent Martha a Christmas card every year with a paragraph sharing how much the award meant to him.

For the Tennessee cattlewoman, her proudest achievements are establishing these scholarships. “That’s what you need to do is work with the kids,” she says. “You should try to do anything you can to change one life in your lifetime.”

The farm Rewarding hard work no doubt stems from Martha’s strong work ethic. Her family farmed in Trousdale County since 1911, and her dad garnered up 2,800 acres with 450 commercial cows. In 1973, she returned to the Hartsville farm, nestled on the Cumberland River about 45 miles northeast of Nashville. In an old barn, the recent college graduate stumbled across a 20-by-4.5 foot mural of two mules, two horses and a barn with “River Circled Farm” faintly legible on the wood. She always wanted a unique brand, so she adopted “River Circle Farm” as her own. The first River Circle Farm calves came out continued on page 46...

In the 1970s, Martha fell in love with a carload of bulls she saw at the National Western Stock Show. The bulls were exhibited by Dale and Mary Barber of Channing, Texas. To this day, she still admires their breeding program. These three bred heifers at River Circle Farm are all bred to Barber bulls. Hereford.org

of the original 26 Bar Ranch bull and five 26 Bar cows, purchased in 1972, the year after the bull. “I just fell in love with Hereford cattle,” Martha says. The breed brought success to her show string and added pounds to the commercial herd. Over time, Hereford genetics added 75 pounds of weaning weight to a traditionally black-hided herd. “Cattle have to be robust and have to be tough to make it here. We’re using all Hereford bulls right now, and it’s worked really well,” she says. River Circle Farm is now a 700-acre operation home to more than 20 head of registered Hereford cows and 100 commercial cows, which Martha manages with Julie Chapin. A native of northern Ohio, Julie ventured to Murfreesboro, Tenn., to attend Middle Tennessee State University on a recommendation from former AHA northeast field representative Chip Carrier. She has called the “Agriculture and Commerce” state home ever since. Julie manages the embryo transfer (ET) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs, which she has fine-tuned for the last decade, along with a focused nutrition program. This year, all females were bred by artificial insemination (AI), and they will calve out close to 40 head. “Nutrition is probably the most important thing we do here,” she says. “You can take a marginal calf and turn it into something outstanding if you understand the feeding aspect of it.” Both Martha and Julie are quick to point out it was not luck that sustained the operation to this point. It has been a lifetime of learning and sticking to their guns on the type of cattle they need.

Established in the “Heart of Tennessee,” River Circle Farm is located on the picturesque Cumberland River in Hartsville.

They hope to give back to a livelihood that has given them so much. Julie, who served as the first female president of the Tennessee Hereford Association, says the most important thing is to “do what needs to be done. Being fair is my number one job.” Through scholarships and rewarding hard work, Martha hopes to instill the lessons she has learned in the next generation: Going after what you want, getting out exactly what you put in and working as hard as you can for what you love. Above all, she lives by the words spoken by her role model, John Wayne: “Always shoot straight. Always have dignity.” With the help of Martha’s grit, John Wayne’s legacy will forever be stamped on the Hereford breed, and his giving nature River Circle Farm utilizes ET and IVF technologies in its breeding program.

Focus

Females

Genetic evaluations characterize the genetic potential of registered cattle to ensure the correct animals are selected and propagated for key economically relevant traits. To do this, seedstock producers invest heavily into capturing data and characterizing their herd for key trait attributes. In the end, it is about more than producing the best cattle; it is about reputation. Recording data combined with genomic testing strengthens the genetic evaluation and increases its accuracy. After all, an EPD is an “estimate” of an animal’s genetic merit for a trait. An increase in accuracy narrows the margin of error around that estimate. This is most important for traits such as calving ease maternal (CEM) and carcass numbers that are either difficult to measure or measured later in life.

Why the increase in accuracy?

Not Just the Bull

Female genomic testing is a powerful tool for registered herds. by Jamie T. Courter

he use of genomics, or DNA, in genetic evaluations provides “genomic enhancement” to the expected progeny differences (EPDs) that producers already use. Like any new technology, advancement led to growing pains, but genomics proved to be influential.

| April 2021

Due to basic biology, officially termed Mendelian sampling, there are more than one quintillion possible combinations of DNA that full-sibling calves can inherit, no matter the sire. Traditionally, it takes several years of recording progeny phenotypes to characterize which calves inherited the “good” genes from their parents. Genomic testing is a tool to characterize the specific genetic merit an animal inherited at a younger age than it did from pedigree information and progeny records alone. The specific increase in accuracy an animal receives for a given trait once genomically tested is provided in Table 1. For example, with the CEM EPD, genomically testing a calf provides insight equivalent to 17 progeny records and increases the accuracy by 0.09. Think about this — How old would a bull have to be to have 17 daughters with calving records reported to calculate his CEM EPD from a traditional, pedigree-based genetic evaluation?

What are you leaving on the table? Selling bulls with genomic-enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs) is great for your reputation with commercial customers, but have you thought about using that information to improve your registered cow herd? Males provide offspring with 50% of their DNA, and the other half comes from the female. As a seedstock producer testing your bulls, you believe in the technology and the benefit it brings you and your customers. But, you are also focusing on cattle that walk off your operation and into your neighbor’s pasture. Now, it is time to think about using the technology to benefit the “other half” of the mating equation and the animals whose genetics affect your herd and bottom line. The reasons and benefits to genomically test males are equally applicable to females. By Hereford.org

The path to dramatically improve bull offerings requires the addition of genomic testing your replacement heifers.

*EPNI (Effective progeny number increase) is the difference gained for genotyped animals versus nongenotyped animals.

testing replacement heifers, you learn more about inherited genes before making selection decisions, increasing the accuracy of their EPDs and ensuring you select females with the best genes from their sires. Genomics are a tool for traits that are hard to measure or expressed late in life. When applying this concept to a trait like maternal milk (MM), with the progeny equivalents for the trait equaling 15, testing a replacement heifer provides more insight on her genetic potential than relying on an entire lifetime of production. Although genomic testing directly affects seedstock breeders, they are not the only ones who benefit from the technology. By combining increased accuracy of selection to both sides of a mating, genetic gain within a herd and an entire breed can be attained at a more rapid rate. Genomic testing of an animal impacts all related individuals within a registry and, in some cases, those who are not related but share parts of their genome by chance. Adding genotypes on females will begin to provide evaluations with the full picture, increasing its ability to quantify their genetic potential. This helps strengthen the power and accuracy of the evaluation for all who participate and register cattle. These benefits are the main motivation behind the American Hereford Association’s Whole Cow Herd DNA Project launched in December 2017. This additional information will be most beneficial on traits where phenotypic records are difficult to measure or are measured late in life when selection decisions have already been made. Hereford.org

The path to dramatically improve bull offerings requires the addition of genomic testing your replacement heifers. The increased accuracy from genomic testing leads to improved heifer selection that meets your operation’s breeding objectives. Then, aligning sires to complement each female in your herd becomes an easier and more informed process. Editor’s Note: Jamie T. Courter, Ph.D., is a beef products manager for Neogen Genomics.

Genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) allow commercial and seedstock producers to make more reliable selections and breeding decisions on younger animals. Each animal tested is recognized with the American Hereford Association GE-EPD logo when searching EPDs at Hereford.org.

Recognizing the Best Dams of Distinction’s efficiency, fertility and productivity meet the highest standards of cattle production. by Katie Maupin Miller

“T

he secret of the cattle business is to make a female have a calf every twelve months as cheap as you can and have a profitable calf at that,” says Bob Monahan of Monahan Cattle Co., Hyannis, Neb. The Monahan family knows a thing or two about the commercial cattle business. They make a living from their large commercial cattle operation. The Monahan Hereford herd supplies bulls for the family’s commercial cow herd. Productivity and profitability are at the forefront of their selection process — from expected progeny difference (EPD) parameters to keep-or-cull decisions. Monahan Cattle Co.’s Hereford herd is often recognized as one of the top producers of the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) Dams of Distinction (DOD), an honor recognizing Hereford females that meet the most stringent ideals of commercial cattlemen.

Finding the standouts Efficient, fertile, productive females keep commercial and purebred cattle producers in the black year after year. But, standout females are not always easy to spot. An operation’s most productive cow may not be the biggest, the most striking or overly unique to the eye, yet when the numbers are crunched, these females rise to the top. “DOD cows subtly demonstrate consistent maternal efficiency, productivity and longevity in our herd without excessive inputs or resources. They do it in a way as not to be noticed until someone asks what cow that progeny is

out of,” says Shannon Rausch of Rausch Herefords, Hoven, S.D. — the AHA’s number one DOD herd. While they may not be easy to spot in the cow herd, according to Rausch, many qualified females share similar attributes such as being easy-fleshing, low-maintenance and high-producing cows with superior mothering ability. After four decades in the Hereford business, Marty Lueck of Journagan Ranch/Missouri State University, Mountain Grove, Mo., agrees. This manager of a top DOD herd says the best cows in their operation have a balance of essential traits, including fleshing ability, fertility, productivity, milking ability and growth. But, Lueck cautions single-trait selection for any of these factors can throw off the balance needed to make a profitable, productive and fertile female. Such females and their consistency carry cow-calf operations year after year, which prompted the AHA to honor the best of the breed. Using data submitted to the Association, AHA identifies a small percentage of females that fit the ideal cow’s description year in and year out. To qualify, each cow must meet a rigorous list of requirements based upon the highest standards of commercial cattle production. To qualify, a cow must have: • Weaned a calf born since Jan. 1, prior to the qualifying year. • Produced at least three calves. • Initially calved at 30 months of age or less. • An interval between the first and second calves of no greater than 400 days. In addition, a 370day 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. • Weaning records submitted to the AHA’s Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program for every calf produced that was born before June 30 of the qualifying year. Hereford.org

• A progeny average 205-day adjusted weaning weight ratio of at least 105.

Recognized Hereford cows will have “DOD” noted after their names when making an animal or EPD inquiry on Hereford.org. Once a cow meets the rigorous requirements to be designated as a DOD, the DOD label will appear behind her registered name for life. However, she must continue to meet these strict conditions year after year to be named in the annual DOD report.

Power in a pedigree DODs in a pedigree is an excellent tool for commercial and purebred cattlemen looking to add more consistency to the bottom side of their operation’s pedigrees. The recognition increases confidence for breeders and buyers alike. Rausch and his family market several hundred head of replacement heifers and herd bulls annually. He feels the DOD designation provides a level of confidence for buyers on the future of their genetics based on past results. “DOD cows add value to our program by producing above-average progeny every year on schedule with moderate inputs. This results in heifers to put in our replacement pen or heifers to sell to our customers for their herds. This also results in bulls to offer our customers to improve their cow herds. DOD females raise progeny to improve our herd and those of our customers’ programs,” he says. Lueck uses DOD designations as another tool when selecting replacement females and potential herd sires. At Journagan Ranch/Missouri State University, Lueck noticed certain cow families consistently produce females who meet the requirements, and using herd bulls with DOD dams often ensures extra productivity and fertility in the pedigree. One of their herd sires has five DODs stacked in his pedigree. “I think it stamps us that we do pay attention to our maternal traits,” he says.

Maternal management While heritability and balanced selection are essential factors in producing superior and productive females, poor management can hamstring the genetic potential of a cow herd. With DOD requirements weighted heavily on calving intervals, sound maternal management is a must. The Monahans cull any cow not bred within their short 45-day breeding season, regardless of age. The Rausch family times their replacement heifer herd to be bred by artificial insemination one to two heat cycles ahead of the main cow herd, and then pasture breed the majority of cows naturally with their herd bull battery. Lueck emphasizes breeding cows as early as possible and judiciously setting breeding seasons and windows with gestation charts. Still, he says to be Hereford.org

mindful that time-breeding protocols often cover only 50% to 60% of females. “It’s just good stockmanship and getting your cows bred,” he says of managing the herd.

Bettering the breed As Rausch summarizes, a DOD cow’s main trait is consistently performing above average on her own merit. Females who meet this mark bring value to the breed and all cattlemen and women regardless of their end market, and Dams of Distinction should be celebrated for their contributions to Hereford genetics’ consistency. “The coveted DOD honor is truly an award that is earned,” says Shane Bedwell, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. “This program allows these matrons to be in a league of their own as they embody everything that drives maternal excellence.”

Calving interval requirements To be recognized as a Dam of Distinction (DOD), a cow must have a calving interval between the first and second calves of no greater than 400 days. In addition, she must maintain a 370-day calving interval after her second calf. The longer initial calving interval allows breeders to calve 2-year-old heifers prior to the mature cow herd. American Hereford Association’s Director of Records Department Stacy Sanders shows us an example of calving interval calculation.

Example: • Interval between calf 1 and calf 2: 360 days • Interval between calf 2 and 3: 365 days • Interval between calf 3 and 4: 385 days • Interval between calf 4 and 5: 350 days

Explanation: In this case, the cow met the initial 400-day window and is eligible for the DOD designation after producing at least three calves. A cow is allowed an extra 30 days between her first and second calves because she is still maturing. If the cow does not meet the 400-days-or-less window between her first and second calves, she will never be a DOD. The interval between calves 2 and 3 was 365 days, coming in under the 370-day mark, making her a DOD that year. Because the permittable calving interval is different between calves 1 and 2 and 2 and 3, calculations do not average the interval between calves 1 and 2 with additional calving intervals. The interval between calf 3 and 4 is 385. After averaging 365 and 385, her calving interval average is 375. The cow is not recognized as a DOD that year. The interval between calf 4 and 5 is 350 days. After averaging 365, 385 and 350, her calving interval average is 366.6 days, coming in under 370 days and qualifying her as a DOD that year.

Directing the Symphony of the

Reproductive System Synching breeding females’ estrous cycles for increased efficiency and productivity. by Bruce Derksen

he bovine female reproductive system and related hormones embody a symphony of finely tuned instruments. In the cattle producer’s search for profitable perfection, this work of art can be safely tweaked and manipulated for increased efficiency and productivity. Estrous synchronization (ES), heat detection and artificial insemination (AI) can help producers not only use the best bulls, but also encourage beef females to cycle sooner and breed more quickly in timed groups. Various ES protocols require different drug costs, labor and infrastructure, and by understanding the processes and the way they affect a cow herd, producers can pick the best program for their goals and resources. The desire to improve herd capabilities through the acquisition of superior, targeted genetics is the most popular reason producers use AI, says Cliff Lamb, department head for animal science and professor in reproductive biology at Texas A&M University. A synchronization program helps capture the value of AI. “One of the biggest advantages of using synchronization is not necessarily the benefit of using semen from a superior bull, but how it impacts reproductive performance. It’s the art of the synchronization system actually stimulating noncycling females to cycle in such a way that they become pregnant sooner in the breeding season.” When this season arrives, a portion of heifers will not have reached puberty and a percentage of cows won’t have reinitiated their estrous cycle after giving birth. “What estrus synchronization hormones do is stimulate those females to begin cycling again. Not only does this bunch animals up that might have

been cycling, but they also stimulate noncycling animals to get pregnant at the beginning of the breeding season.”

Types of synchronization hormones and protocols Lamb outlines three major types of hormones used in synchronization, each controlling a different facet of the estrous cycle. Prostaglandin (PGF), a hormone used in concert with other products of ES, regresses a corpus luteum (CL), or a transient gland that secretes progesterone to maintain a potential pregnancy. PGF only works to synchronize estrous cycles if a CL is present on the ovary of the female. Cows in the initial stages of their estrous cycles (one to six days), having just ovulated, will not have a CL large enough to respond to the drug. Those females at six to 16 days into their cycle will react to the PGF shot and enter heat two to six days later. The animals 16 to 18 days into their cycle will not respond but will come into heat on their own. Gonadotropin releasing hormones (GnRH) stimulate follicles to ovulate or start a new follicular wave. “The GnRH is a precursor to the release of the luteinizing hormone (LH) which causes ovulation. By giving GnRH, we don’t work on the CL, but we work on the follicle,” Lamb says. These hormones are produced by the hypothalamus of the brain and cause other hormones to stimulate follicular growth and ovulation within 30 hours. Progesterone products make up third group. Controlled intravaginal drug release (CIDR) devices or melengestrol acetate (MGA) act as progesterone and block estrus and ovulation during the diestrus (middle) phase of the cycle, essentially preventing

heat. Timed removal of these products will initiate heat and potentially induce 10% to 30% of females unable to exhibit estrus. “Every one of the hormones used in synchronization, the cow makes herself, so the GnRH, PGF and progesterone products are exactly the same as the cow produces,” Lamb says. “It doesn’t matter how many times you use these protocols. There won’t be any negative impacts.” Protocols using these hormones can be divided into three major categories:

Bovine estrous cycle

• Synchronization, then heat detection and AI after an observed estrus.

• Synchronization, then AI at a fixed time without heat detection.

• Synchronization, then a period of heat

detection and insemination (around two days) followed by AI of females not observed in estrus.

Lamb explains long-term protocols of up to 33 days using MGA or 14-day CIDRs not using PGF or GnRH upfront are available, but most shorter procedures use the synchronizing drugs. “Reasons for each are different. It’s never a blanket motive for every single one,” he adds.

Synchronization conception and pregnancy rates Synchronizing strategies including AI do not vary conception and pregnancy rates from natural service if quality semen is used by skilled technicians. Lamb says 60% to 65% conception rates are achievable for cows cycling and observed in estrus. Those same rates are expected if the same cow was exposed to a bull. According to Lamb, math can be used to view varying approaches. If producers use an ES system involving heat detection on 100 females, only about 75% will be caught in heat and inseminated. At the 65% conception rate, this means around 50 of those 75 will get pregnant. This equates to a 50% pregnancy rate including the 25 not detected in heat. When pairing an ES strategy forcing noncycling cows to come into heat and a timed AI without heat detection, all females are inseminated and have a chance to get pregnant. Fifty-five to 60 of those 100 will become pregnant. While more cows get pregnant in this system, the conception rate will actually be lower than the ES system with heat detection. He notes on the average, cows that have calved will take 30 to 100 days before coming back into heat. To see the greatest pregnancy rates, waiting 45 to 50 days after calving to synchronize is a solid plan, since a higher percentage of them will be naturally cycling. Beginning the synchronization at that point will place the AI at 55 to 60 days giving the majority of females the opportunity to begin cycling again. “My differing suggestion is that cows between 21 and 50 days after calving need synchronization the Hereford.org

most, because they are less likely to be cycling but can be stimulated and become pregnant sooner. If producers can get over the fact they might have slightly lower pregnancy rates, possibly 45% instead of the 55% of timed AI, they will gain from accelerating them to become pregnant sooner in the breeding season. That’s a sounder synchronization strategy in my opinion.”

Future strategy adaptations Lamb explains a tactic in the works is resynchronization, or an ovulation control program used for open cows which need to be re-inseminated, but care is required as the same products can’t always be used due to the accidental elimination of pregnancies. Heat cycles of females not becoming pregnant in a first procedure will return 21 days later, plus or minus three or four days. This is too early to determine pregnancy; thus, PGF can’t be used as it can cause abortions. For these strategies, only progesterone products such as CIDRs or MGA can be used to resynchronize females. Other tactics include waiting for a pregnancy diagnosis using blood at 25 to 30 days, or ultrasound after 30 days. When pregnancies are determined, PGF can again be utilized, but the drawback to this system is the loss of days open and negative economic impact. The use of doppler ultrasound to identify earlier pregnancies is being researched and shows promise. Whichever processes are employed, Lamb urges producers to follow the tried-and-true protocols. “Even though the search continues for the silver bullet to replace these strategies, it’s better to use something we know works rather than trying to figure out the next best thing and get disappointed,” he says. Some manipulation of nature’s handiwork in the reproductive and hormone system can bring financial rewards but mishandling of this artful symphony might not create the desired results. April 2021 |

Using Embryo Transfer and In Vitro Fertilization

ET and IVF are go-to tools for many serious seedstock producers. by Jaclyn Krymowski

mbryo transfer (ET) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) are go-to tools for many serious seedstock producers. However, if you’re not familiar with these processes and what they can do for your herd, you will have questions. To help beef producers learn more, Penn State University Extension covered the basics of IVF and ET programs in a Feb. 11 webinar called “Understanding Embryo Transfer and In Vitro Fertilization in Cattle.” Ryan Fairbairn, DVM, of TransOva Genetics, has more than 12,000 IVF procedures under his belt. He shared some of his expertise and insight on the topic.

IVF and ET — what are they? The terms IVF and ET are sometimes thrown around interchangeably or in tandem. However, both are distinct procedures.

| April 2021

Fairbairn defines ET, or in vivo, as simply, “the propagation of desirable genetics from higher-end females by taking embryos from the higher-end females and transferring them into the genetically lower-end females.” In the early days, ET was an extremely difficult and costly procedure. Today, though, advanced technologies make it accessible to producers everywhere. More recently, IVF has taken the stage where unfertilized oocytes, or immature egg cells, are aspired, or retrieved, from the donor, fertilized in a lab, and then placed into a recipient at a later time. There are trade-offs to both these practices including speed of genetic advancement and logistics required to perform each procedure. With today’s technology, the fertility outcome for both is quite similar. Hereford.org

“By the time a heifer has a calf of her own, she could have 10 to 20 other calves on the ground at the same time,” Fairbairn says. “So, we’ve really markedly decreased in the generation of roles on those efforts.” At TransOva Genetics, Fairbairn notes IVF has quickly become the go-to option for their clients — doing as much as 90% IVF procedures and 10% conventional ET flushing. For operations with elite genetics, both options are extremely attractive tools — especially as they become more reliable and affordable with time. Likewise, they can also open new revenue streams for herds to sell fresh and frozen embryos from their elite females.

Embryo transfer (ET) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) allow seedstock producers to propagate their most elite females’ genetics and can create new revenue streams with embryo sales.

108 Bulls Recognized as Sires of Distinction The Sires of Distinction program recognizes superior Hereford bulls. The American Hereford Association Board of Directors initiated the program in August 2007 to recognize Hereford bulls that sire efficient, fertile and productive females. To be honored as a Sire of Distinction a bull must have produced daughters that have received at least seven Dams of Distinction awards. See Page 36 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 expected progeny difference (EPD) inquiry on Hereford.org. A list of the 108 sires recognized as Sires of Distinction for the first time in 2020 follows.

Don’t Let Your Cows Eat the Profit by Robert Wells

ntentional beef producers will develop a winterfeeding strategy and calving season that reduces the cost of winter feed. The bulk of the cost of cow ownership typically occurs during the winter when additional supplementation is required. University and industry data indicate that annual cow costs range from $500 to $600.

Nutritional supplementation makes up 40% to 60% of this total annual cost; thus, ranging from $200 to $360 per cow per year. Mineral supplementation makes up about $35 of the total nutritional costs. The remainder, $165 to $325 on average, is spent on supplemental feed and hay. What can be done to reduce the cost of the herd supplementation

program without negatively impacting cow body condition score (BCS) and reproduction? The most impactful element that should be considered is to time the cow’s peak lactation with when the best quality and quantity forage is available. This time is when she has the highest nutritional demand. Refer to the graph below to understand the relationship of

The relationship of timing of calving relative to the cow’s highest nutritional demand

| April 2021

Impacts on reproduction

timing of calving relative to the cow’s highest nutritional demand. Peak lactation occurs about two to three months after birth.

Impacts on BCS Many producers think the best time to start calving is when the spring or winter flush of forage is at its peak. However if they do this, then by the time peak lactation occurs, the cow may have missed the best forage of the year and will not be able to take full advantage of it. This will impact the cow through her BCS since there is a possibility that she will be on a negative plane of nutrition and losing weight. The first thing the cow will lose is fat, and her BCS will be reduced. Secondly, by starting the calving season about two months in advance of the height of the forage quality and quantity, this will ensure that the majority of the cows will calve at the most opportune time relative to forage quality. In a 60-day calving season, at least half of the cows should be in peak lactation when the annual flush of forage arrives.

Hereford.org

Since the cow will be consuming extremely high-quality forage that exceeds 60% total digestible nutrients (TDN) and 10% crude protein (CP), she will be rebuilding any body fat reserves. This will signal to the body that the cow is in a favorable environment and can support the next pregnancy. Thus, she will start to cycle again in a timely manner after calving. Cow nutrition and subsequent body condition score has been demonstrated numerous times to have an impact on her rebreeding rate. A cow that is in a BCS of five or greater will have a much greater probability of timely rebreeding compared to one that is in a BCS of four or less. In this regard, what occurs this year can have a significant impact on profitability next year. For a young cow that is trying to breed for her second calf, the impact of nutrition can be the difference between her getting rebred or not. These females have a much higher nutritional demand than do mature cows. Two-year-old cows are still growing, lactating

and trying to support the next reproductive cycle in that order, respectively. Reproduction is the first physiological process the cow will shut down if she is nutritionally compromised. Most of the time, lack of proper nutrition is to blame when a cow fails to get rebred for the second calf. Cows that fail to rebreed or breed late will “eat away” at the profit of the entire ranch. A cow that calves just 30 days later than the previous year has given up at least 60 pounds of additional weaning weight, which can translate to about $75 of lost value. A cow that doesn’t breed at all has incurred all the annual costs of production yet did not repay the owner with a live calf at birth. In this sense, she is eating away at the ranch profit margin.

ACT’s Playbook

| by Sarah Beth Aubrey

Job Descriptions and Role Clarity Keep all personnel on task with clear expectations. Last month, I shared interviewing tips to improve your hiring process. This month, I’m building on that concept with a look at one of the most avoided tasks, which never seems to make it on a farm manager’s to-do list: job descriptions. Why is that? Most farmers tell me it’s difficult to write a description for farm or ranch work because even the most senior staff have an all-hands-on-deck role. However, not having job descriptions, and even worse — having them and not sharing them — is an excellent way to create avoidable problems. Job descriptions and clearly defined roles simplify responsibilities. Job descriptions allow staff to have their own area of priority to build and demonstrate expertise. Job descriptions form agreements and create opportunities for task ownership. In addition to outlining roles, job descriptions help prevent a litany of unpleasantness including employee confusion, overlap/underlap in tasks, overall inefficiency, arguments at family dinners, hurt feelings, resentment, avoiding holiday gatherings and fistfights. (You probably have your own list, too.)

Getting started Before writing a description, it’s helpful to outline the role you need to fill. “Job description” and “role” are not the same thing, though these terms are often used interchangeably. This distinction is both important and useful. A role is the overall function that a person plays in the business. It may or may not have a descriptive title. The job description is the specific duties to be completed by the person in the role. To better illustrate, I’ll use the example of a CEO. As the CEO, you play that role. Like an actor in a play, the duties you carry out describe how you

| April 2021

perform the role. Attributes informing how best to “play” your role, such as unique abilities, style and skills, can be emphasized by job descriptions. To begin building a job description, decide what roles you need now and what roles you may need in the future. Then, think about how to divide responsibilities to improve the current efficiencies of your employees and leaders. Let’s examine roles using the following questions: • What functions are needed to run the business going forward? • What area(s) of the business are changing, growing or decreasing? • Are we prepared to meet those changing needs by bringing new personnel onboard or making time available for current staff? • Where are other successful operations innovating? • What current roles are filled by people who may be transitioning out of the business in five years or less?

Keep it clear I am frequently approached by young leaders who share their transition frustrations. I often hear these individuals know what they are supposed to do at work, but struggle to see where one job starts and another stops. They are (painfully) aware this overlap creates conflict — much of it has to do with others in the operation becoming territorial. To help prevent this problem, apply a simple rule — everyone needs to know what everyone else does, aka role clarity. Role clarity is when everyone knows what everyone else does. Role clarity should not be reserved for the elite at the top. It’s important for every member of the business, down to the most basic laborer. People naturally function better when boundaries are clear.

Sometimes it is easier to think about roles in terms of what you need, but don’t presently have. Consider the following questions: • What expertise is missing from the business, even if I don’t need it today? • How will I meet this need? Is it with training or new hires? • In what ways are we “just getting by?” • Are we utilizing people or putting people in positions where they are “just okay?” • Do we have roles now that we don’t need or should phase out?

Helpful tips Finally, here are three tips for writing job descriptions: 1) Be specific with the tasks you need to take off someone’s list, tasks which need training or certifications to perform well and future business needs. 2) If there is a task not being completed, or someone is doing a task but needs to pass it off to someone else, add it to the job description, and bring it up in the interview. 3) Clearly explain to applicants that the job description isn’t a generic job taken from a website, but rather a group of tasks tailored in a specific way to fit the organization. Describe how those specific tasks interact with other people. Remember, if you’re the business owner, write a job description for yourself as well. The most important place to start is the beginning. If you do, you’ll find less conflict when employees and family have clear roles. Sarah Beth Aubrey is an entrepreneur and founder of Aubrey Coaching and Training (ACT).

From the Field In Passing Dorothy Hoffman Herman, 82, Leola, S.D., passed away Jan. 17. Dorothy Ann Crompton was born Dorothy Herman May 31, 1938, in Brentford, S.D., to L.T. and Grace (LaBay) Crompton Waltman. As a small child, she grew up on the Crompton homestead 5 miles west of Wetonka, S.D. When she was about 8 years old, the family moved 2 miles north of Wetonka where she attended grade school. She graduated from Westport High School in 1956, where she was very active in school activities and was an honor-roll student. In the 1990s, she assisted her mother in compiling a family history and recipe book where Dorothy was referred to as “Pa’s Little Helper.” Dorothy always liked to go along with her dad. When she was old enough to drive, she worked in the field with him. She had many fond memories of her life at Wetonka. Following graduation, she was employed at the McPherson County Extension office in Leola, S.D. On May 30, 1958, she married Gerald Hoffman, and they made their home on the Hoffman ranch west of Leola. Gerald and Dorothy raised three children while expanding their registered Hereford business. Their cattle business took them to many states and foreign countries. Most family vacations included a Hereford sale or ranch visit to view cattle and to meet and make new friends. Dorothy was a crucial part of the ranching business with her meticulous bookkeeping skills and involvement in the American Hereford Association (AHA) and the South Dakota Hereford Association. She was also active with the Circle L Cattlewomen group in Leola for many years. She enjoyed gardening, sewing and preparing meals for hungry hired hands and special guests. For fun, she and Gerald could be found square dancing.

| April 2021

After the death of her husband in 2004, she took on a supportive role in the ranch management and transitioned the ranch to her son, Colin, and his wife, Mary Beth. After a few years, she moved to Leola where she became active with the senior citizen group and enjoyed entertaining guests and grandchildren. On Oct. 13, 2012, she married Fred Herman Jr. Together, they enjoyed each other’s company while attending church social events and shopping. Looking forward to “whose birthday is next” and getting together at the farm for “birthday parties” with plenty of cake and ice cream was always a good time. Dorothy had an unwavering Christian faith that was the cornerstone of her life. She spent many hours daily reading her Bible and praying. She taught Sunday school and seventh grade confirmation for many years at St. James Lutheran in Leola. She loved to study the Bible, take sermon notes and wrote many of her own bible studies. Her church family, whether at St. James, Praise Family Fellowship or Freedom Church, was something she held dear to her heart. Grateful for having shared in her life are her husband, Fred Herman, Jr., Leola; her children, Jerome (Charlene) Hoffman, Brooklyn Park, Minn.; Joan (Steve) Crombie, Faribault, Minn.; and Colin (Mary Beth) Hoffman, Leola; stepchildren, Kim Herman, Lake of the Ozarks, Mo.; Michelle (Scott) Hinkle, St. Louis, Mo.; and Todd Herman (Susan), Troy, Ill.; three exchange daughters, Cristiane Mello, Sao Palo, Brazil; Stephany Pons Bessone, Marseille, France; and Dasha Zhagina, Ukraine; her brother, Leo Crompton, Aberdeen, S.D.; her sister, Kelli Waltman, Leola; sisters-in-law, Mary Ann Roehr, Britton, S.D.; and Sue Crompton, Bothall, Wash.

After completing basic training, Douglas purchased Rocket Oil Company from his father in 1964 and started Rocket Turf Landscaping in 1967, growing Kentucky bluegrass sod in Anoka County in Minnesota. Douglas and JoAnn were married in 1969 in Willmar, Minn., and settled in Coon Rapids, Minn., where they operated their businesses until he retired in October 2020. Douglas was an active supporter of the Republican Party and served as president of the Minnesota Turf Association and was the president of the Anoka County Farm Bureau at the time of his passing. Hereford.org

Douglas had many interests including home building, land development and raising Hereford cattle. By raising Hereford cattle, Douglas gained many close friends across the country, and he has been honored many times for his support of the junior Hereford associations, both in Minnesota and nationally. He received the American Junior Hereford Association Advisor of the Year Award in 1995, the AHA’s 50-year Golden Breeder award in 2009, the Minnesota Farm Family of the Year in 2010 and he was inducted into the Minnesota Hereford Breeders 2020 Hall of Fame.

Following his schooling, Walt enlisted in the U.S. Army where he honorably served for two years during World War II. After his honorable discharge he moved back to the farm where he continued working with his dad. On Nov. 27, 1948, Walter was united in marriage to Catherine McCann. Walter and Catherine raised their family and worked together on the farm for 42 years. Walter was a hard-working, Christian man who enjoyed farming his entire life. He is described as “a great man of few words and a lot of work.” He loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He was Hereford.org

After graduation from Salem High, he went to Drury College in Springfield, Mo., where he also played basketball and decided to pursue a career in medicine. He attended Washington University Medical School in an accelerated

While in his fellowship years, he was awarded the Distinction of Pioneer in Radioisotopes for treatment of cancer. Along with his medical career, he spent time volunteering in the community, and he received many awards. He was the president of the Missouri division of the American Cancer Society, as well as the director of the Regional Medical Program. He received an outstanding physician award by Salute to Medical Arts. While in Springfield, he was on the Springfield School Board from 1970-1976. He worked in the Kitchen Clinic, was active in the Greene County Medical Society and served as president of the St. Louis GYN Society. He helped establish the Drury Booster Club to promote athletics. He and friend Bill Prater were Ford Model T enthusiasts and drove their Model Ts in many local car events. Mac was also active in the Missouri Hereford Association and received membership in the organization’s Hall of Fame. The Bonebrake family helped create the Bonebrake Center for Nature and History, a community activity center in Mac’s Salem childhood home. He was an avid quail hunter and returned to his home and farm in Salem as often as possible. “Grampy Mac” is survived by children, Ann and Steve Grace, Al and Stevia Bonebrake and Tom and Leah Bonebrake. He had nine grandchildren, Jennifer, Amy, Zack, Summer, Tara, Wes, Holly, Joe and Ricci; and eight amazing great-grandchildren. Golf was a passion for Mac. He played as often as he could, although he played left-handed. He played his last round at age 94. He also loved telling stories about his early life in Salem. We would like to thank his helpers at home, Patsy, Melissa and Jeannie. He is also survived by some fabulous friends who included him and helped him stay active.
