Fed Up!

Feeders want to change how cattle are valued in the marketplace. by Wes Ishmael

attle feeders are frustrated with the dated, oversized role that hide color plays in feeder calf value. That message is crystal clear as you leaf through results of a recent survey conducted by the Red Angus Association of America (RAAA). Visit with Tom Brink, RAAA chief executive officer, who talked with respondents representing 35-40% of the nation’s aggregate cattle feeding capacity and the level of frustration was downright palpable. Feedlots ranged in size from 1,000 head to more than 100,000. The average feedlot size was 28,130 head. He received the same response from buyers, backgrounders, auction managers and industry experts. “Perhaps the biggest surprise was how strong the feelings are out in the country that the feeder cattle market needs to change,” Brink says. “Even though the current emphasis on hide color is decades old, more than 90% of respondents want a future that is different from the past. They have little affinity for a future that is a mere extension of the present; they made a lot of comments along those lines.” Keep in mind, Brink spent much of his career in the cattle feeding business before taking the RAAA reins.

“Certainly, black hide color, when it was a fairly reliable indicator of breed composition, played a key role in the industry’s journey to increased carcass quality and development of valuebased beef programs,” says Jack Ward, American Hereford Association (AHA) executive vice president. “As reliability of that phenotypic indicator has dimmed over time, as cattle of all colors can knock it out of the park or flop in terms of feedlot and carcass performance, it’s easy to understand the frustration illustrated by the survey. Our members and their commercial customers have voiced the same frustration for a number of years.” As one survey respondent — a Kansas feedlot manager noted: "Black cattle are not even black Angus anymore." In other words, Brink explains, “There cannot be an undistracted focus on improving traits of real value when hide color plays an influential role in price discovery. Important market signals become mixed with noise and static about color. The result is a partially compromised signal that slows the industry’s genetic progress and may reduce advances in other value-creating characteristics as well.” continued on page 16...

Fight for Differences

by Wes Ishmael

Champion non-commodity marketing.

Wes Ishmael is the executive editor of Hereford World. He can be reached at wishmael@hereford.org.

Every sector of the cattle and beef business finds added value from efficiencies associated with consistency. Paradoxically, embracing differences remains a powerful tool to add homogeneity, be it exploiting genetic differences in breeding cattle or sorting cattle and carcasses into groups of similar kind for both management and marketing. Consider the use of alternative marketing arrangements (AMAs) such as value-based grids and formulas, which are used to trade most of the nation’s fed cattle. Rather than pay an average negotiated price for every head — penalizing the top end and subsidizing the bottom end — AMAs reward and discount cattle based on differences — how well they achieve pre-determined levels of carcass performance. Ultimately this enables packers and their buyers to source more cattle of similar kinds that fit specific marketing programs. AMAs were born from the long and painful chapter of declining beef demand, which finally began to change course in the late 1990s. The two previous decades were a testament to commodity production and marketing, which gave consumers an unpredictable eating experience. Alternative marketing arrangements provided the economic incentive for producers to churn out higher and higher average carcass quality — increasing the odds of consumer satisfaction. It would be tough for anyone to argue against AMAs as foundational to increased consumer beef demand. AMAs also reduce packer and feedlot costs associated with marketing as well as market risk, which further strengthens price floors. That’s why legislation aimed at restricting AMA use is so puzzling.

Mandating markets cost

Earlier this summer, the U.S. Senate advanced the Cattle Price Transparency Act of 2022. Among other things it would mandate the U.S. Agriculture Secretary to establish five to seven contiguous fed cattle marketing regions. Further, the act would mandate that negotiated cash fed cattle trade within each region could be no less than the average percentage of negotiated live cattle purchases and negotiated grid purchases made within the region between Jan. 1, 2021, and the same date in 2022. But the Secretary could mandate the minimum to be as much as 50% of the negotiated trades in a region. Presumably, proponents believe such a mandate will make cattle worth more. But the opposite is true. “There is no situation where mandating cash trade is not a cost. If cash trade created value or was not inefficient then there would be

an incentive to do it. And this cost is incurred annually for as long as the policy is in existence,” said Stephen Koontz, agricultural economist at Colorado State University (CSU), in his testimony to a U.S. Senate committee reviewing the act. “It is also important to recognize what price discovery is not — price discovery is not higher prices. Price discovery is the market moving quickly and clearly to the appropriate price level. At times this is a lower fed cattle price and other times a higher price,” Koontz explained. “It is a common misconception that better price discovery implies better prices for the individual contemplating the issue. And there is no scientific evidence that

trade. The price discovery we currently have in regional fed cattle markets is not deficient. And the cost-benefit of mandated cash trade is clear.” In summary, Koontz explained, “… any policy which mandates more negotiated cash trade will require less AMA use and will impart a cost on the cattle and beef system and cattle and beef supply chain. Costs placed on packers and feeders will result in higher costs and lower-quality offerings to consumers and will also result in lower prices to producers supplying calves to the system.”

All of the above focuses on markets as they exist today. Current reality suggests cattle producers are on the threshold of unlocking a … any policy which mandates variety of other attributes, which folks are willing to more negotiated cash trade will pay for if the market require less AMA use and will allows recognizing and impart a cost on the cattle and beef rewarding differences.

Tell Your Story

by Trey Befort

Traveling across our great nation during the past nine years with the American Hereford Association (AHA) has provided me the awesome opportunity to visit with individuals from all segments of the cattle and beef industries. It is always very interesting to see the vast differences in management practices at the cow-calf level, which contribute to a high-quality and consistent beef product for our consumers to enjoy. The people involved in the beef supply chain — and their stories and backgrounds — make our industry second to none. I believe it is always important to tell your story, no matter what role you play in the supply chain. There are numerous platforms for folks to share their stories and the industry programs they utilize, all of which make a difference to producers and consumers. For instance, the national Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program enables producers to document their adherence to production practices backed by science. Your BQA certification provides potential cattle buyers with more confidence in what you’re offering. The BQA certification program also builds consumers’

confidence as they consider choosing beef rather than other proteins.

Tell the Hereford story

Closer to home, telling the Hereford story grows more important and necessary. The breed continues to expand market share by providing customers with genetic solutions while leading the seedstock industry into new areas of genetic research. AHA always appreciates hearing from members and commercial producers who share their message about how Hereford genetics help them improve and add value to their operations.

In June, our team gathered these kinds of messages as we visited breeders and commercial users of Hereford genetics. If you have suggestions about whom we should visit in the future please contact me (tbefort@hereford.org) or Taylor Belle Matheny, AHA director of communications and digital content, (tmatheny@hereford.org).

Use the tools

As you tell your story, keep in mind the number of AHA programs to help you and your customers market Hereford and Hereford-influenced cattle. For

example, the Hereford Advantage program is tailored to feeder cattle, while the Premium Red Baldy and Maternal Advantage programs are geared to assist marketing commercial females. The AHA Hereford Feedout Program and the National Junior Hereford Association Fed Steer Shootout illustrate another area of growing participation benefiting individual participants and the breed overall. These programs are a cost-effective, practical way for purebred and commercial producers to collect valuable information about their genetics — information they use to improve their programs and tell their stories. Keep an eye out for results from this year’s feedout programs. Also, plan to participate in next year’s programs. HRC Feed Yards at Scott City, Kan. will feed the cattle once again. Entry deadline for both programs is Nov. 1. Cattle delivery to HRC Feed Yards is Dec. 10-14. Find more details at Hereford.org/genetics/ breed-improvement/feedout-program and at Hereford.org/Youth/NJHA-FedSteer-Shootout.

Breed Improvement

Schultz elected BIF vice president

Kevin Schultz of Sandhill Farms, Haviland, Kan., was elected vice president of the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) during the recent BIF Research Symposium and Convention in Las Cruces, N.M. Shultz is a past president of the AHA. Shane Bedwell, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement, also serves on the BIF board. BIF’s mission is to help improve the industry by promoting greater acceptance of beef cattle performance evaluation. For more information, visit BIFSymposium.com.

Free genotypes for heifer tract scores You can receive free genotypes by providing heifer reproductive tract scores for the ongoing fertility research project at the University of Missouri (MU). Jared Decker, Wurdak Chair in Animal Genetics, and his colleagues are researching how reproductive tract scores can predict pregnancy rate success. They developed a scoring rubric that evaluates the size and tone of the uterine horns as well as the size and development of the ovarian follicles.

Hereford.org

This multi-breed research project is open to heifers only. Tract scoring must be conducted 30 to 45 days ahead of breeding. Decker’s goal is to include at least 2,500 Hereford heifer reproductive tract scores and genotypes in the project. You can find more details in a description provided at the inception of the two-year project here: Blog. SteakGenomics.org/2020/02/ HeiferRecruitment.html. If you have additional questions, please contact Decker at deckerje@missouri.edu.

... Fed Up! continued from the cover

Survey says

The survey — conducted between October 2021 and February 2022 is the first to assess opinions about how the feeder cattle market functions, relative to animal appearance and genetics. Survey questions focused on three areas. • Appraising how the market currently operates and how effective hide color is assigning value from one group of feeder cattle to the next. • Assessing the historical contribution of hide color to feeder cattle quality. • Considering future market changes necessary to extend industry progress. Percentage of survey respondents agreeing or strongly agreeing to statement: 95% — Hide color significantly affects prices paid for different groups of U.S. feeder cattle. 94% — Black-hided feeder cattle and calves frequently bring a higher price than non-black-hided cattle of equal weight, quality, sex and health history. 93% — Specific genetic or genomic information on groups of feeder cattle more strongly correlates to actual feeding and carcass results than does hide color. 92% — For the beef industry to continue improving its overall cattle quality and value, hide color should be replaced with more objective genetic criteria as a key price-determining factor(s) in the U.S. feeder cattle market. 88% — The use of specific genetic or genomic information on groups of feeder cattle would be preferable to hide color as an important price determinant in the feeder cattle market. 73% — During the past 25 years, emphasis on black-hided animals has helped the beef industry advance in a positive direction relative to overall feeder cattle quality and value.

Cattle feeders are frustrated with the way hide color has become such a big factor in the way our markets work. They’d like to see things change in the future, with greater market emphasis on genetic merit and other objective characteristics. Many commented that we need to go beyond evaluating feeder cattle superficially, which is all hide color can offer. There is a great deal of interest in seeing genetic and genomic information play a greater role because they are confident such information will make feeding and carcass performance more predictable. — Tom Brink, executive vice president, Red Angus Association of America

Next steps

RAAA, AHA and other organization are actively gauging interest in an industry task force — comprised by representatives from all parts of the industry — charged with identifying ways to bring positive change to the feeder cattle market in line with those identified in the survey. “The message sent by the survey comes from the industry. Only the industry can change the industry,” Brink says. “Cattle feeders painted the vision for us. Now we need to go forward and make it a reality.”

Percentage of survey respondents disagreeing or strongly disagreeing to statement: 75% — Black-hided feeder cattle are superior to non-black cattle of equal weight, sex and health history. 71% — For the beef industry to continue improving its overall cattle quality and value, hide color must remain an important price-determining factor in the U.S. feeder cattle market.

“These results portray the sentiment of the cattle feeding sector and many others involved in the beef industry,” Brink says. “The logic of moving in the direction they desire certainly makes sense. A market that rewards objective value characteristics above superficial traits sends a strong signal for real improvement in feeder cattle quality and value. “The industry as a whole needs to come up with creative ways to reduce and eventually eliminate our reliance on hide color as a value indicator. There are identifiable methods that can be employed to accomplish that, though it will take time and cooperation between various segments of the beef supply chain. We also need to continue to educate both cattle feeders and producers about the value of various types of genetic information, like EPDs and genomic results on commercial cattle. The ability to create more valuable cattle via genetics has never been better than it is today, so now is the time to make the market aware of genetic differences between one group of feeder cattle to the next.” Survey results were also evaluated by notable livestock economists at Kansas State University, Oklahoma State University and the University of Nebraska.

Colorblind Value Buyers and sellers capture more opportunity through Hereford and Hereford-influenced feeder calf sales. by Katie Maupin Miller

elling red cattle at auction can be a frustrating experience; buyers commonly pay more for black and black baldy cattle of equal quality. Some of it has to do with the volume of black cattle in the marketplace, which can make it easier for buyers to assemble loads. However, the discount for non-black cattle also has to do with buyers equating black with Angus, believing a higher percentage of them will grade USDA Choice or higher and qualify for premiums associated with Angusbased branded beef programs. Even if they don’t believe that, they know packers often favor black-hided cattle, due to those perceptions. These days, of course, plenty of black cattle are devoid of Angus, and plenty of red cattle achieve the highest quality grades. This marketplace reality is part of the impetus behind a growing number of successful Hereford and Hereford-influenced feeder calf sales. While there are regional differences among the long-running Hereford-influence feeder calf sales in the U.S., their success also has many similarities. Such sales highlight breed strengths — efficiency, docility and vigor — in a way that attracts cattle buyers and feedlot owners, regardless of the offering’s color. By gathering large groups of cattle and backing the lots with preconditioning and health protocols, state sale organizers create unique opportunities for buyers to purchase load lots of healthy, genetically similar cattle ready for the feed yard or backgrounder. Marketing Hereford feeder calves in this manner removes the color discount and shifts focus to the enhanced value of the cattle.

Strength in numbers

Order buyers typically pay more for cattle they can assemble as loads of same-sex, same-class, similar-weight cattle to deliver to their customers, and Hereford-influenced feeder calf sales provide that opportunity. It takes at least 500 head to start putting together load lots, according to Richard Brown of United Producers, Inc., who helps coordinate the Tennessee Hereford Marketing Program (THMP). In Tennessee, most consignors bring 20 head or fewer to the

Hereford-influenced sale, so attracting enough consignors to create load lots is imperative. John Woolfolk, a Hereford breeder from Jackson, Tenn., explains the THMP was borne from frustration with the black-hided bias and searching for a solution. He recalls visiting with peers more than 20 years ago. “The local Farm Bureau had an alliance program. So, we thought, why can’t we do that — similar genetics, similar health protocols, similar sizes in large lots.” Like Tennessee, many of these special feeder calf sales comingle cattle into similar-weight load lots. So, even small producers can reap load-lot premiums. It also enables buyers to purchase a load of uniform 8-weights, as an example, rather than scraping together loads a few calves at a time. The added numbers also help stockyards ensure the load lots are top-notch. Brent Lowderman, a Hereford breeder from Macomb, Ill., hosts the Greater Midwest Certified Hereford Feeder Calf Sale at his auction barn, Carthage Livestock, Inc. It started about 15 years ago with just over 500 head, and within the last few years, they’ve marketed between 1,500 to 2,000 head from 70 consignors in each sale. Before developing the sales, even in his own barn, he explains, Hereford calves used to be discounted as much as $25 per hundredweight (cwt.). “Since we have the numbers to do it now, I’ve narrowed our sort to 50-pound increments,” Lowderman says. “We also take out all the odd cattle — horns, cattle not healed up after castration, etc. They have to be right when they land at the yards.” The Mitchell Livestock Hereford Influenced Special is the country’s largest Hereford-influenced feeder calf sale. Last year, they sold 4,500 head in Mitchell, S.D. Sale founder Harley Zens explains more than 40 consignors bring anywhere from 10 to 150 head each. Consignors in the Mitchell Livestock Hereford Influenced Special represent their own cattle, and folks with smaller lots can easily combine them with others. “Hereford cattle are not selling for a discount to buyers. By having a large group of cattle sell, they bring a premium price,” son Matt Zens says. “This is a great deal for the area seedstock guys, as their commercial customers have an outlet for their baldy calves to bring a premium.”

Hereford.org

Kentucky Hereford producer and supporter of the Kentucky Certified Hereford Influence Sale Tim Wolf summed it up best: “Numbers are everything in this whole deal.”

“It is a huge group effort to make one of these things a success. It takes a huge effort and a huge group of people to make one of these things happen,” Wolf says.

Beef demand remains key

Although domestic beef demand appears to be holding its own, as other retail protein prices also increase, rampant inflation and federal monetary response cloud the outlook. The closely watched University of Michigan Index of Consumer Sentiment was 50.2 in June. Analysts with the Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC) pointed out that was the lowest value on record dating back to 1978, lower than during the Great Recession. Analysts with the NPD Group (NPD) noted at the beginning of June that food inflation and rising costs contributed to a yearover-year 4% decline in consumer visits to U.S. restaurants in April compared to the previous year. Of course, that means consumers are eating more meals at home, hopefully using new cooking skills acquired during the pandemic to prepare more beef. International demand for U.S. beef continued to exceed expectations through April. U.S. beef exports topped $1 billion for the third time this year, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF). Beef exports totaled 124,408 metric tons (mt) in April, up 3% from a year ago and the fifth largest on record. Export value soared 33% to $1.05 billion. Value was second only to the record $1.07 billion in March. April beef export value equated to $489.59 per head of fed slaughter, up 33% from a year ago and the second highest on record. “Global demand for U.S. beef continues to overcome enormous obstacles, from inflationary pressure to logistical challenges to the recent lockdowns in some of China’s major metropolitan areas,” according to USMEF President and CEO Dan Halstrom. “Most encouraging is that even as beef exports climb to unprecedented levels in our largest Asian markets, demand is strengthening in other regions as well, fueled by a strong rebound in the foodservice sector.” Halstrom cautioned that April results did not capture the full impact of recent COVID-19 lockdowns in China, some of which

continued through May and into early June. The pressure inflation imposes on consumers’ discretionary income and the rising strength of the U.S. dollar versus some key trading partner currencies are also growing headwinds for U.S. red meat exports. For January through April, beef exports increased 5% from a year ago to 478,260 mt, valued at $4.05 billion (up 38%). Beef export value for January-April equated to $478.03 per head of fed slaughter, up 39% year over year. “The global economic outlook for 2022 remains positive, but previous growth projections are moderated due to trade disruptions, rising energy costs, rising inflation rates and commenced tightening of monetary policy,” according to the latest quarterly Outlook for U.S. Agricultural Trade from the ERS and USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). Compared to the previous Outlook, ERS and FAS analysts lowered projections for this year’s world gross domestic production to 3.6% from 4.4%. “The Russian invasion of Ukraine has presented new challenges to global economic growth,” analysts say. “The conflict and resulting response have further elevated energy prices, most immediately impacting the European market. Continued supply chain constraints and complications remain a significant global growth headwind. Central banks are expected to respond to rising inflation rates by implementing contractionary monetary policy. The tightening of monetary policy typically presents challenges to economic growth in the short term.” U.S. GDP was forecast at 3.7% versus 3.8% in the previous report. Even so, U.S. agricultural exports in fiscal year (FY) 2022 are forecast at a record $191.0 billion, up $7.5 billion from the February forecast, led by increases in corn, cotton and soybeans.

Incentivizing the Environment

Rangeland management practices provide environmental protection and producer incentives. by Macey Mueller

Environmental stewardship is a critical component of the beef production system. This is the third part in a series of four articles highlighting the conversations, the practices and the outcomes related to ensuring a long-term food supply and a positive environmental impact.

angelands are vital to a thriving beef industry. They also provide a host of benefits to society, like food and fiber production, climate stability, air and water purification, and wildlife habitat. Complex environmental processes produce these benefits, known as “ecosystem services,” which help protect natural resources and improve our overall well-being. Rangelands comprise about 30% of United States land cover, totaling about 770 million acres. About two-thirds of those rangelands are privately owned. However, pressures like population growth, volatile agricultural commodity prices and soaring land values all compel landowners to sell private land for development, putting some ecosystem services at risk. To help maintain these essential benefits, there is a growing effort among landowners, conservationists, private industry and other stakeholders to incentivize the improvement of ecosystem services and the protection of valuable rangeland.

Bottom lines and ecosystems

Drew Bennett, professor of practice of private lands stewardship at the University of Wyoming, says ecosystem services include everything from sequestering carbon and mitigating or attenuating floods to providing pollination for crops and other native plants. He regularly works with landowners to identify

science-based range management practices to enhance or maintain different ecosystem services while also benefitting a working agricultural operation. “I have seen a number of landowners implement different management practices, such as rotational grazing, that benefit the health of the land,” he says. “At the same time, they are often able to increase the productive capacity of the land — and subsequently their bottom line — through their management over time.” Bennett says there is also a growing external demand for enhancing some of these ecosystem services. For example, in certain areas of the country, landowners may be able to participate in “species banking” projects where they receive payment for implementing particular management practices to enhance wildlife habitat for a species of concern. A more widely available incentive option for landowners is a conservation easement, an agreement between a landowner and the entity that holds the easement — typically a not-for-profit land conservation organization or a government agency — to limit or restrict some of the development that could happen on that property. Bennett says this approach is especially popular in areas that are rapidly urbanizing or have increased subdivision pressure. This method is also used to prevent rangeland from being tilled for row crop production, which releases the carbon sequestered in the soil. As land prices inflate in value, landowners in these areas can sell a conservation easement to tap into a portion of the development value that land holds while still being able to run their agricultural operation.

Rangelands comprise about 30% of the entire land cover of the United States, totaling about 770 million acres, and about two-thirds of those rangelands are privately owned.

“Each conservation easement agreement is going to be unique to the land and the parties involved, but they typically allow landowners to maintain their operation with relatively minimal restrictions on agricultural production,” Bennett says. “I’ve seen several landowners use this tool to pay off debt, expand their operation, help their children get started in the family business or even in estate planning efforts. “It’s one of the ways you can tap into that land value without having to sell off an asset that is a fundamental piece of what makes your agricultural operation work.”

“You just don’t want to get yourself in a situation where you may have to write a check back because you did not reach a goal.”

Marketplace policy

Industry organizations like the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) have developed policy around ecosystem services marketplaces and are working to educate producers on the opportunities that exist and to protect their freedom and flexibility to engage in the incentive-based programs. “We want private carbon markets to Dr. Drew Bennett be trusted by everyone involved, and we Carbon credits appreciate that the federal government needs to While conservation easements help protect be involved to an extent to establish rules, but the long-term viability of ecosystem services, we are strongly in favor of these marketplaces there is a growing interest in assigning a value remaining private and voluntary,” says to those services to compensate landowners Mary-Thomas Hart, NCBA environmental for their dedication to enhancing biodiversity counsel. “There’s always interest and value in and improving the environment through diversifying a revenue stream, and we want agricultural practices. to help our producer members navigate the Chad Ellis, chief executive officer of opportunities these emerging ecosystem services the Texas Agricultural Land Trust, has marketplaces may present.” spent more than two decades empowering The United States Department of Agriculture Chad Ellis agricultural producers in their conservation (USDA) recently announced it will spend up efforts.

Barriers still exist, excluding a large population of early adopter “The future is really beyond carbon,” he says. “When we look innovators who have been implementing conservation strategies back to the sustainability goals within these corporations, we’re for years. Additionally, the science-based monitoring, reporting seeing much more than just greenhouse gases; we’re seeing a focus and verification process that determines the success of a project on biodiversity, clean water and open space — all ecosystem services is expensive. that our grazing lands provide. Nonetheless, some landowners are “The stars are aligning where we The stars are aligning where choosing to engage in these markets, can have carbon credits, biodiversity and Ellis says they must decide which credits and water credits, and we can have carbon credits, protocols will best fit their operation landowners will be able to stack all of and their long-term goals. these credits to actually get to a price biodiversity credits and water “Producers who are approached point that makes sense in making credits, and landowners will be with or who seek out these significant management changes.” opportunities need to be asking the Because some geographical areas able to stack all of these credits to right questions about the protocols used with certain types of soils and limited actually get to a price point that to determine the value in specific land precipitation sequester less carbon management practices, how payments makes sense in making significant than those areas with greater rainfall are structured and who is responsible and deeper soils, Ellis says additional management changes. for expenses incurred through the marketplaces will also open the door monitoring, reporting and verification for more producers to be eligible — Chad Ellis, CEO, process,” he says. for compensation.

MLV or Killed: Which is Better at Pre-Breeding? Here’s how you can ramp up your pre-breeding vaccination program. by Burt Rutherford

ant to start a discussion with the world affairs experts at the corner table in the sale barn cafe? Ask their thoughts about when you should vaccinate your cows before breeding and whether you should use a modified-live virus (MLV) shot. Opinions will abound. But casting eyeballs at some recent research might shed light on the subject and give you the advantage of facts when you stir the coffee club a little. It is widely recognized by researchers and veterinarians that MLV vaccines are better because they create a more robust immune response in the animal. But MLVs come with some considerations. If not handled correctly by keeping them cool and using everything in the bottle in a timely manner, MLVs can lose their effectiveness; plus, MLVs have always received a rap for causing abortions if given to naive, or unvaccinated, heifers or cows. According to research conducted by George Perry and researchers at South Dakota State University (SDSU), MLVs can be used on cows pre-breeding if some management considerations are kept in mind. Perry, formerly with SDSU, is an associate professor and reproductive physiologist at the Texas AgriLife Extension and Research Station in Overton, Texas. In an earlier study, Perry and others vaccinated a group of naive heifers. “What we found in that study was that the modified-live virus vaccines disrupted reproductive performance, not only with the dominant follicle, but we had poor conception rates after the synchronization protocol (using timed AI with CIDRs).” What’s more, a few of the heifers short cycled again on the next breeding. “We know that for at least two cycles we were having problems, especially in naive animals. By staying away from modified-lives at the start of a breeding season or close to the start of the breeding season, even when we’re using synchronization protocols, we get better control of follicular growth. Fertility was increased,” he says. Then the question became what happens in a cow herd or in animals that have been well vaccinated? By well vaccinated, Perry means animals that were vaccinated as calves and then given an annual booster every year. Perry and crew compared an inactivated or killed vaccine with an MLV and a control group receiving a saline solution. “What we saw is even in animals that had previously been vaccinated, if we gave a modified-live 30 days prior to the start of the breeding season, we had a negative impact on AI conception rates.” The researchers followed that with a similar on-ranch study and saw similar results. Between the two studies, they evaluated results on more than 3,000 head from nearly 20 herds. “Across both of those studies we’ve done, we have seen differences in AI conception rates if they’re given a modified-live pre-breeding,” Perry says. In the second study, instead of giving the shots exactly 30 days pre-breeding, as they did in the first study, vaccinations ranged from 27 to 89 days pre-breeding. “We saw the negative effects across that whole time period. And so we know something is going on there.” However, the effects decreased as the days between vaccination and pre-breeding extended beyond 45 days. “If somebody said to me, ‘Well, I really want to use a modifiedlive right now,’ I look at the data and say, ‘OK, but we probably need to get it into them at least 45 days pre-breeding and get those two extra cycles out of the way,’” Perry says.

in Nashville, Tenn. Jones is an assistant professor and clinical veterinarian with the University of Georgia’s Investigative and Diagnostic Laboratory in Tifton, Ga., and a cow-calf producer. Looking at research from Auburn University, Jones showed data on heifers given an MLV at five to seven months of age, another MLV six months after that and then bred with timed AI and bulls. At pregnancy check, the heifers were vaccinated again with either an MLV or killed vaccine. The heifers were re-vaccinated a year later. In short, the results showed that the heifers given MLV shots before breeding and a killed shot at pregnancy-check developed a strong immune response, and abortions attributed to MLV vaccinations weren’t an issue. “We know that modified-live vaccines provide a quicker, stronger, longer, more robust immunity,” Jones says. “So, a modified-live still needs to be considered in a herd health program, but how and where we use that will take some serious thought.” According to Perry, “Vaccination programs can be designed to maximize immunity and minimize risks associated with modifiedlive vaccines. I think we can do that if we give two or three doses of MLV with the last dose at least 45-60 days pre-breeding. That way I think we get the best of both — good immune stimulation and optimum fertility in our heifers.” Perhaps, then, a long-term vaccination strategy is to use the 1-2 punch of MLV and killed in heifers, then revaccinate lactating cows annually with a killed vaccine pre-breeding.

Consider a 1-2 punch

Talk to your vet and don’t short the groceries

Jones emphasizes you should consult with your herd health veterinarian at least annually, whether or not you’re considering a change in your vaccination strategy. Remember, he says, that a vaccination program is only part of your overall herd health efforts. In fact, in his mind, vaccines are third in importance. The first two priorities are nutrition and biosecurity, respectively. “It’s the animal that makes the vaccine work,” Jones says. By that, he means that if the animal is undernourished, in poor body condition or unhealthy, loading it up with vaccines is akin to fighting a brush fire with a squirt gun. It flat out won’t work very well. “Hippocrates said about 2,500 years ago that all disease begins in the gut,” Jones told the crowd. Given what we know now that Hippocrates could only guess at, Jones modifies that wisdom to “All health begins in the gut, all production begins in the gut, and all fertility begins in the gut.” Twisting the knob to the aforementioned observation, if your cattle aren’t on a proper plane of nutrition it’s … well … like fighting a brush fire with a squirt gun. Your cattle flat out won’t work for you very well. “Nutrition plays a key role in vaccine response and immunity in cattle,” Jones says. In fact, researchers at the University of Georgia-Athens saw a large difference in vaccine response in calves supplemented with trace minerals versus those that weren’t. That’s because the immune system uses a lot of nutrients as it responds to a vaccination challenge — minerals, vitamins, protein and energy. This explains why an undernourished cow or calf can’t mount a proper immune response when it’s vaccinated. Said another way, “Where my cattle are with their circulating mineral status really influences whether or not my cattle respond to a vaccine,” Jones says. “So, circulating minerals matter, and it’s important that we supplement our cattle appropriately.”

Market Tracks Prices continue post-pandemic recovery. by Wes Ishmael

attle prices disappointed many through the first six months of 2022 but continued to claw back some sense of seasonal normalcy. The table provides year-over-year comparisons using data from USDA reports. The footnotes detail the specific reports and dates. Based on three weight ranges, regional calf and feeder cattle prices were 10-14% higher in the Southeast, 12-14% higher in the South Central region and 17-31% higher in the North Central region, according to data from USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service. The monthly five-area direct average fed steer price was 17% higher on a live basis and 18% higher in the beef, supported by a slaughter rate matching — in some weeks exceeding — prepandemic levels. Packer margins are narrowing as fed cattle prices increase and wholesale beef values decrease with Choice cutout value 8% less year over year. That’s with more beef production than anticipated when the year began, due to both drought and economics. At the same time, inflation made worse by continued supply chain disruptions continues to drive input costs higher. For instance, the spot Corn futures price on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) was 13% higher and the spot month price for West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil was up 34%.

Beef demand shows fatigue

U.S. consumers continue to pay historically high retail prices for beef but recent data suggests they may be reaching their limit as inflation chews at disposable income. The all-fresh retail beef value in May was $7.37 per pound, which was 10% more than extraordinarily high levels the previous year. Willingness to pay (WTP) decreased for five evaluated retail meat products in the June Meat Demand Monitor from Kansas State University, funded in part by the beef checkoff. Compared to the previous month, WTP declined 23 cents for ribeye steak to $17.42 per pound and 26 cents for ground beef to $8.78 per pound. WTP also declined 25 cents for pork chop to $7.09, 7 cents for chicken breast to $8.29, 45 cents for shrimp to $9.16 and 17 cents for beans and rice to $2.93 per pound. “Meanwhile, WTP decreased for seven evaluated Food Service meals,” according to the report. “Combined this broadly confirms weakening consumer demand consistent with increased general discussion around consumers being more conservative in their spending.” However, international beef demand for U.S. beef continues to astound, to the tune of $478 per head of fed slaughter through the first half of the year.

Fundamentals point higher

Although drought helped extend feedlot placements it also continues to spur significantly more beef cow slaughter, adding to the reduced inventory at the beginning of the year. In other words, all else being equal, numbers and logic suggest cattle markets are on the cusp of a significant step higher for an extended period of time. 1AMS National Weekly Feeder & Stocker Cattle Summary, weeks ending 07/02/22 2USDA Five-area monthly weighted average direct slaughter cattle (negotiated for June), published 07/06/22 3National Weekly Boxed Beef Cutout and Boxed Beef Cuts (negotiated), weekly average for 06/27 to 07/01/22 and 06/28 to 07/02/22

Doing Right

AHA research aims to enhance the positive sustainability story of Hereford genetics and the cattle industry. by Wes Ishmael

eef consumers, direct customers and financial partners want to know how beef cattle production contributes to environmental sustainability. “Sustainability is not a nice-to-have anymore; it’s a need-tohave,” says Kim Stackhouse-Lawson, Ph.D., director of Colorado State University’s (CSU) AgNext, a research collaborative developing sustainable solutions for agriculture. “Yes, producers have been here for generations, but today we have to say, ‘We’ve been here for generations and here’s how we continue to improve and continue to care.’ The proof points in today’s society are expected, whether that’s fair or not.” Stackhouse-Lawson explains most of the pressure on U.S. cattle and beef currently comes from concerns about climate change, specifically the level of greenhouse gas (GHG) produced by the industry. “We know cattle are natural up-cyclers. We also know how much more efficient U.S. beef production has become over time in terms of producing more beef with fewer cows on less land. The American cattle producer is the most efficient in the world,” says Jack Ward, executive vice president of the American Hereford Association (AHA). “But we also know the global population is expected to grow by almost 2 billion by 2050. We know the good Lord is not going to make any more natural resources in terms of land. So, how do we become more efficient and how do we, from a genetic standpoint, affect overall sustainability?” All the above are behind a new cooperative AHA-CSU research project.

Identifying genetics associated with GHG

“The primary objective of this research is to give the American Hereford Association, its breeders and their customers tools that will help improve the environmental footprint of beef production,” says Mark Enns, Ph.D., a beef cattle geneticist at CSU and a member of the research team.

I think it’s critically important for us to remain positive about this type of research and that we need to remain aggressive at telling our own story. We need to have the data so that others are not telling the story for us. — Craig Huffhines, Colorado State University director of equine sciences and elite bovine and equine genetics

Olsen Ranches, Harrisburg, Neb., installed GrowSafe systems in 2010, adding individual feed intake phenotypes and feed efficiency data to the AHA National Reference Sire Program.

| August 2022

Research will leverage decades of phenotypes for individual feed intake collected by AHA members, as well as previous feed efficiency research conducted by the Association. “Over time, we’ve documented the value of Hereford genetics in commercial cow herds in terms of fertility, longevity and other traits associated with production efficiency. All of those things, as we understand currently, are going to have a positive effect in terms of sustainability as we move forward in the industry,” Ward says. AHA-CSU research aims to enhance understanding of the genetic differences in seedstock relative to enteric methane production and nitrogen excretion, a byproduct of rumen fermentation. Methane emission, as a genetic trait in cattle, appears to be moderately heritable with genetic correlations (modest to strong) to economically relevant production traits, such as measures of growth, dry matter intake and various estimates of feed efficiency. Previous research also suggests genetics play a significant role in nitrogen excretion by cattle. It and the animal’s environmental footprint can be reduced through selection.

Efficiency and sustainability

“A more fertile cow is a more sustainable cow. Getting more cows bred early in a cycle and weaning more pounds of calf per cow exposed are significant efficiency advantages,” explains Shane Bedwell, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. “Previous AHA research and research from the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC) documents Hereford’s various efficiency advantages.” For instance, USMARC documented a nearly 2-pound advantage in feed intake for Hereford steers compared to other breeds in the study. “Dr. Lalman at Oklahoma State University showed the same intake advantage, comparing the Hereford-sired F1 black baldy female to the straightbred black Angus female on a pasture diet while maintaining more body condition,” Bedwell says. “So, when you add up all of the things that Hereford-sired F1 female can do, it tells a tremendous sustainability story.” Stackhouse-Lawson explains the amount of feed cattle consume is a true indicator of the amount of greenhouse gas they will emit.

Extending social license

“This is just another opportunity that might inform us of what the true genetics of our footprint might be. I think it’s critically important for us to remain positive about this type of research and that we need to remain aggressive at telling our own story. We need to have the data so that others are not telling the story for us. “This is going to help us maintain the license to operate. I think that is a key term we all need to understand,” says Craig Huffhines, director of equine sciences and elite bovine and equine genetics at CSU, who is also the former AHA executive vice president. “What is our license to operate? What is society going to allow us to do to stay in business and feed a growing population?” Beyond providing customers, consumers and financial partners with data verifying the environmental sustainability of beef cattle production — doing the right thing — Stackhouse-Lawson notes there could also be financial rewards. “If we get this right and can measure a (GHG) reduction, you could get paid for it because we’ve seen big companies make commitments around net-zero goals, and there will be expectations those companies make progress toward the goals,” StackhouseLawson explains. “They’re going to have to incentivize the adoption of practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” Editor’s Note: Scan the QR code to watch a webinar about the AHA-CSU research project.

Bone Dry Worsening drought conditions impacting cow herds. by Sydnee Shive

“I

t’s dry out west.” A common phrase uttered in conversation among producers. Nearly half of the continental U.S. was experiencing some form of drought — moderate, severe, extreme or exceptional — the week of June 28, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor (Figure 1). Exceptional drought conditions existed from southeast Texas up to north-central Montana and out to the Pacific. USDA estimated 35% of the nation’s hay acreage and approximately 50% of the nation’s cattle were within areas experiencing drought.

At the time, the Climate Prediction Center forecast drought to persist through the end of September (Figure 2) from the Southern Plains up to western South Dakota and in much of the area west of that line — basically the western half of the U.S.

Forage frustrations

Pasture and range began the growing season with the worst overall quality ratings in about three decades. The Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC) forecasts hay prices to reach record highs this year as high fertilizer prices also reduce production in some non-drought areas. The average all hay price for the U.S. was $34 higher year over year in May (+19.3%) at $210 per ton, according to the June Agricultural Prices report from USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. The average U.S. alfalfa hay price of $244 per ton was $50 higher (+25.8%). One bright spot was increased hay harvested acreage. There are 51.5 million acres harvested for all hay this year, according to the USDA Acreage report in June. That is 771,000 acres more (+1.5%) than last year.

Decreasing herd numbers

Nearly half of the continental U.S. was experiencing some form of drought, impacting approximately 50% of the nation’s cattle.

“Drought and pasture conditions improved from last month, but the situation is still very poor compared to last year and previous years,” said analysts with USDA’s Economic Research Service, in the June Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook. They explained, drought and increased input were likely much of the impetus behind the 15% year-over-year increase in beef cow slaughter at the time. Derrell Peel, Extension livestock marketing specialist at Oklahoma State University pointed out in mid-June that beef cow slaughter last year was 9% more than the year before. Given beef cow slaughter so far this year, he said a significant level of culling was guaranteed, perhaps as many as 1 million cows. For perspective, beef cows numbered 31.1 million head on Jan. 1 this year, according to the USDA Cattle report. That was 2.3% less than the previous year and 1.7 million head fewer (-5.3%) than the recent peak in 2019 when the Jan. 1 number was 31.8 million head. Beef heifers retained for replacement Jan. 1 of 5.6 million head were 3% less year over year. Elevated levels of fed heifer slaughter through the first half of this year suggested the trend will continue. Unfortunately, persistent La Niña in mid-June offered little optimism to extended weather forecasts. At the time, the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center forecast above-normal temperatures across nearly the entire continental United States from August through December. Precipitation was forecast below normal for much of the nation during the same time period.

Drought is predicted to persist in the Western half of the United States through September.

about its potential applications. Meiman’s research project goals included identifying virtual fence effectiveness for intensive rotational grazing, grazing on larger rangelands and target-grazing some areas more than others. As mentioned, virtual fences rely on signals relayed via communication towers. “For us, they set up two towers so the signal between them could cover the whole valley where we have cattle,” Whitely explains. “They could change the virtual fenceline wherever it needed to be, with those two towers. In a mountainous area a person might need more towers — maybe on several ridges.” Hog panels protected towers and guy wires from cattle rubbing against them. “There are places in our pastures that have rose-briars and thistles, and we generally try to mechanically mow or spray them. With virtual fence we could hold the animals in those places early in the grazing season and make them eat it down,” Whitely says. He explains cattle could reap the nutritional benefit from these patches while reducing the thistles and briars. “This system would be helpful in riparian areas on the range. If a rancher is getting kicked off his allotment because of cattle getting in there, this could be a solution,” Whitely says. The GPS collar also provides the opportunity to know where every individual animal is located at any given time. Some operations could find value in this ability. Hereford.org

Virtual fencing employs GPS-enabled, battery-powered collars worn by cattle, which interact with base station towers and software. GPS coordinates designate fence boundaries.

“In our situation, that’s not as much of a concern because we have people on the ground going through those cattle and looking at them, so we are seeing them anyway,” Whitely says. Multiple research projects underway are exploring virtual fencing systems as a feasibility in big range pastures as well as for more intensive rotational grazing on smaller farms. Other researchers with current projects include the University of Arizona Santa Rita Experimental Range station and the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) at the Central Plains Experimental Range station in Colorado.

Other considerations

A growing number of companies with varied goals and focuses offer virtual fencing. As an example, Vence, a U.S. company, is developing applications for extensive rangeland-based operations. On the other hand, Halter, a New Zealand company, is working with dairies to achieve higher-accuracy rotational grazing. “Battery life in the collars is a major consideration,” Meiman says. “Higher accuracy information about animal locations requires more battery power. For cattle on a big range pasture all summer, you’d need a longer-lasting battery, and in most rangeland systems, we’re not trying to keep cattle in a tiny area. We might have a pasture thousands of acres in Hereford.org

size and want to subdivide that into multiple subunits, but these would still be huge compared to a small farm in more productive country that wants to rotational graze a 50-acre pasture divided into four pieces.” The ARS in Oregon recently finished a study with the Vence system, looking at whether they can keep cattle out of burned areas with a virtual fence. When public rangeland burns, the burned area is typically off-limits to grazing for a couple years to allow it to recover. Virtual fence might be an alternative to conventional fence or resting the entire area. Chad Boyd, ARS research leader in Burns, Ore., worked with the research project to see how virtual fencing might be beneficial on federal allotments. “If 20% of a 10,000-acre pasture burns, you are looking at either building a fence to exclude cattle from that portion of the allotment or non-use of the whole pasture,” Boyd says. Even if the ranch in this example wanted to build fence, he explains doing so on public land means going through a lot of different administrative processes that take time. Never mind the fact that terrain is challenging on wide swaths of public land. “We wondered if virtual fencing might be a management alternative to keep cattle out of burned areas, enabling ranchers to graze areas that didn’t burn.

Virtual fencing could be a great option during the recovery period, and not impede wildlife with an actual fence,” Boyd says. “There is a cost to utilize virtual fence, however. We paid $40 per collar. With the company we worked with, you lease the collars rather than buy them. This is probably a good thing, because the technology is evolving so fast that if you spend a lot of money purchasing collars, those might be obsolete in a year or so.” Additionally, there is a cost for requisite base stations. “For smaller areas, one base station may be adequate, but for

larger areas, or more complex topography, additional base stations may be needed,” Boyd says. Still, virtual fencing could be cheaper than physical fence in some situations. Virtual fence might also offer temporary solutions. Editor’s Note: Heather Smith Thomas and her husband, Lynn, have ranched near Salmon, Idaho, for more than four decades. She also writes cattle articles that appear in numerous U.S. and Canadian cattle publications, including Hereford World. She is the author of numerous books, including “The Cattle Health Handbook.”

DNA Sampling — What’s Your Type? Learn which DNA sampling method works best for your operation. by Leoma Wells

e have all heard, “just pull hair,” when asking about how to collect a DNA sample on an animal. It may come as a surprise, but there are three recommended methods used to collect and submit DNA on beef cattle. We encourage you to use the one that works best for your operation.

Tissue Sampling Units

Allflex Tissue Sampling Units, or TSUs, as they’re commonly referred to in the industry, have taken over as the DNA sampling method of choice for beef cattle. If you haven’t heard of TSUs yet, or even if you are a current user, here are some useful tips, tricks and information. • To get started, you will need an applicator and TSUs. Contact the American Hereford Association (AHA), a NEOGEN territory manager or visit neogen.com to place an order. • Read the instructions or watch a short video on how to properly collect a TSU sample. • If a calf has been freshly tattooed, avoid the tattoo ink when collecting the sample. • Verify there is tissue present in the TSU before releasing the animal. When in doubt, take another sample. • If sampling the calf at birth, make sure to wipe the ear with a dry towel to ensure there is no DNA transfered from its dam. • Note which animal was sampled. If you order the 10-count TSU boxes, you will be able to write the tag number on the box insert. • Check each TSU and ensure the tissue is submerged in the buffer solution (liquid) inside the tube. You can tap it lightly on a table or flick the tube with your finger so the tissue will fall into the liquid. This preserves the sample for testing.

• You can store TSUs up to one year at room temperature. Do not refrigerate or freeze. For optimal long-term storage consult with an Allflex or NEOGEN representative.

Blood cards

Blood cards are a great option if you’re already bleeding animals in the chute and can easily grab a sample. Here are a few key items to note when using blood cards. • DO NOT USE on twins or animals suspected of being a twin. They could have shared the same blood source in-utero and most blood samples from twins end in “No Results,” or (NR). • Fill the circle completely with blood, but do not saturate the entire card. More is not necessarily better. • Allow blood to dry before closing the lid on the card. • Do not place blood cards into a zip-close bag until they’re completely dry; otherwise, they may mold and potentially be contaminated for testing because of spore growth. • Write the animal ID, registration number (if available) and animal name on the card.

Hair cards

Hair cards are a last-resort option, if your animals are readily accessible and you need a DNA sample but you do not have other sampling materials available. • Pull 25-30 follicles out of the tail switch by jerking straight down. Be careful not to touch the root bulbs on the end of the hair.

Easy to Collect (producer)

• Place root bulbs (contains the DNA) under the clear plastic film and close the top flap. Trim the excess hair sticking out of the card. • Label the card with the animal ID, registration number (if available) and animal name.

Highlighting sample types

Lastly, here are a few more considerations to keep in mind when ordering DNA sampling materials so you’ll be able to make the best decision for your operation. • All three sampling types mentioned — TSUs, blood cards and hair cards — are relatively easy for a producer to collect. • TSUs are currently the most efficient for the lab to process, followed by blood cards since the system is more automated for these sample types. Hair samples are inefficient for the lab to process since they require a more manual process. Therefore, an additional fee is invoiced on all hair sample submissions. • Blood samples are not recommended for twins, since they result in a sample failure most of the time. This requires the producer to submit another sample for testing. The producer would be invoiced for all costs associated with testing, not to mention the additional time required to collect and submit the new sample. Make sure to use TSUs or hair samples on twins.

• TSUs and blood cards can be collected at birth. If you wish to use hair, it is recommended to wait for the calf to be at least 90 days of age. • It should be mentioned, semen straws can be submitted for testing if the bull is unavailable. However, there is an additional fee for all semen straw submissions. Now that you are more aware and comfortable with the different sampling options you can move forward confidently to collect this year’s samples. Being prepared and armed with knowledge along with sampling equipment sets your operation up for success when it is time to collect DNA samples. Therefore, place an order for your DNA testing materials today, so you can have them on hand and at the ready when you need them this summer. For more information or to order supplies, please reach out to the AHA, a NEOGEN territory manager or visit neogen.com.

Knowing Matters Necropsy can identify the cause of cattle mortality and how to prevent future deaths. by Heather Smith Thomas

t often pays to have your veterinarian perform a necropsy if an animal dies and the cause of death is unknown — especially if a management change could prevent further deaths. A postmortem exam might determine whether the animal died from hardware disease, pneumonia, liver flukes, poisoning or some other preventable problem. In some situations, you might take photos or collect a few samples to send to your vet to try to determine what happened. In other instances, the cause of death may be readily evident — such as a broken neck from a fall,

Eugene Janzen, DVM, University of Calgary, says there may be nothing you can do to prevent the same problem in the future if it turns out to be an odd situation not likely be repeated. “Postmortem exams can help us know these things. When dealing with calf scours, respiratory disease or something contagious, you need to know quickly — to try to prevent spread or manage the problem in the rest of the herd,” he says. “There may be another level of concern if it’s a pathogen that might be spread to humans. A typical situation is bringing home a calf from somewhere else, to put

The veterinarian and you

David Steffen, DVM, of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Veterinary Diagnostic Center, is a firm believer in the value of accurately recording mortality. “For large operations, it makes sense to have the veterinarian teach the basics of postmortem examination to the herdsman, so deaths can be classified as respiratory, enteric, nutrition or something else —

electrocution from a lightning strike, strangulation of a calf that got its head caught in a loop of wire or bloat from overeating in a lush alfalfa field. But sometimes the death is so puzzling that you need to call the veterinarian with questions or arrange for necropsy, which is also referred to as a postmortem examination. If there’s a disease in the herd, a parasite problem or a nutritional deficiency the producer is not aware of a necropsy can be a useful tool to help improve herd health management.

producers when mortalities reach a level requiring intervention. The veterinarian may need to help with adjusting treatment and management protocols. “If animals are dying, the producer needs to keep records and know how many have died. There’s a certain threshold for different production phases and anticipated death loss,” Steffen says. No matter how well you manage cattle in a cow-calf operation, for instance, a certain number of calves will succumb to scours or other illnesses. If the number of calves lost begins to exceed the average, it’s time to take a closer look. “Your veterinarian or an animal scientist can tell you what benchmarks should be for your production operation and situation. If you have records, you can look at the losses in previous years and set a goal for improvement — or if it’s a low level, try to maintain that low level,” Steffen says. “When things begin to go awry, and death losses are above normal, the next step is to categorize them as to body systems involved, whether it’s skeletal, respiratory or enteric. Most people can determine whether it involves the respiratory system or is an enteric disease.”

on a cow that lost hers, possibly bringing a new pathogen.” One of the risks is zoonotic diseases, which can also infect humans, such as cryptosporidiosis or salmonellosis. “If you are treating a sick calf, this could pose a risk to your family — especially if you have young children and leave your dirty coveralls in the mudroom, or a small child comes to greet you as you come in the door,” Janzen says. Salmonella and cryptosporidium can both infect humans, especially children, elderly people or anyone

depending on the production stage or age of the animal involved. Many feedlots already do this. An accurate accounting of mortalities can flag problems and signal a need for review of health programs. The necropsy serves as quality control for clinical assessments and treatment protocols,” Steffen says. Besides training producers to perform a basic necropsy, Steffen explains the veterinarian’s role is to provide quality assurance for tracking mortalities. The veterinarian also consults with

Producers need to know the cause of death to know if it can be prevented in the future. “In baby calves, if you have death losses from enteric diseases, there’s probably a certain level you deal with every spring, but if all of a sudden you lose a couple of calves with neurologic signs you might have your veterinarian check them because you don’t expect it in this age group. It might be lead poisoning or rabies, or something else you need to know about,” Steffen says. Likewise, suppose death loss in baby calves, due to scours, is higher than normal. He explains identifying the pathogens involved can help determine more effective treatment and prevention strategies. “An experienced producer usually has a fairly good idea, due to symptoms, and knows what category to put the death loss into, but it’s still helpful to have a veterinarian open up the calf to

make sure you have the proper diagnosis, because some calves with enteric disease can show neurologic signs if electrolyte imbalances are severe or they become septic and get meningitis,” Steffen explains. “It’s important to know what you’re dealing with.” He shares other examples of easily mistaken death loss causes. For instance, increased respiratory rate in a feedlot animal, due to acidosis, might mistakenly be attributed to respiratory disease. The gut blockage in the bloated calf could stem from a hairball, eating dirt, an accidental torsion or enteric disease. So, a necropsy — finding the actual cause of death — can help producers know if it’s a rare, unpreventable event or a contagious disease, which might be prevented in the future. Steffen adds there is always a sense of regret when a producer consults him after losing the fifth cow in a short time but failed to examine the first four deaths. By waiting, they lost the opportunity to discover whether the other deaths could have been prevented.

Establish benchmarks

“It’s good to sit down with your local veterinarian who knows your operation and

establish thresholds for when and send that to their home you need to step in and take computer — as a way to keep action.

Feedlots perform necropsies more routinely than cow-calf producers, but there are times cow-calf producers could benefit from knowing an animal’s cause of death. “Some of the big feedlots have mortality events every day, and it pays to develop this skill, to at least open up the animal and feel the lungs to see whether it’s pneumonia and look inside the rumen to see if there’s inflammation inside and overload,” Steffen says. If mortality is rare in your operation, it might make more sense to utilize outside expertise to conduct necropsies, rather than develop the skill yourself. Some producers are reluctant to call their veterinarian for this purpose, but it often pays to do so.

Fortify Lifelong Cattle Immunity Through Nutrition Balanced nutrition can boost immunity. by Ron Scott, Ph.D.

orbidity and mortality in cattle haven’t improved over time; even though more vaccines are available, educational materials are easier to find and the industry has provided incentives to improve health with value-added programs.1 Yet, establishing lifelong cattle immunity is still something every herd should strive for — in an attempt to reduce spending on health issues and capture value.

first line of defense to help prevent disease in cattle. White blood cells are a key component of innate immunity. Whenever there is a breach, like a physical cut, a pathogen can enter the body, causing an infection. The white blood cells then hunt and destroy the virus or bacteria to keep the animal healthy. Nutritionally, you can stimulate innate immunity and help cattle prevent disease. Nutritional additives,

immunoglobulin antibodies, protein and energy which are vital for newborns. If colostrum quality suffers, higher calf morbidity rates can occur. Cows and bred heifers start creating colostrum in the mammary glands about a month prior to calving. The nutrition fed to cows during this time can impact the quality of colostrum produced. Colostrum quality can also be impaired if nutrition declines during stress events, such as weather challenges like drought or cold snaps. Cover your bases with balanced protein, energy, vitamins and minerals in your cows’ diet throughout gestation to optimize colostrum production. Feeding supplements during late gestation and keeping minerals available year-round ensures your cow herd has the nutrition it needs to produce high-quality colostrum.

Active immunity

There are three different types of immunity acquired throughout the various stages of life — innate, passive and active. A comprehensive management plan including health protocols, limiting stress and balancing nutrition will give your herd the base it needs for optimized immunity.

Innate immunity

Innate immunity establishes in a calf shortly after conception and is influenced throughout life. It is the

like prebiotics and probiotics, can help prime the innate immune system to produce white blood cells that work more effectively.

Passive immunity

Passive immunity from cows’ colostrum is shorter-term (lasting only months) and results from proper cow nutrition. Consumption of high-quality colostrum is the starting point for building passive immunity in your calves. Colostrum contains

Active immunity is acquired over time when the immune system is triggered to produce antibodies in response to a pathogen. Active immunity is long-lasting and can be acquired through either natural disease exposure or vaccinations. Following the disease exposure, when the animal encounters the disease again, their immune system will recognize the pathogen and produce antibodies to fight the disease. Vaccine response is improved when there is quality nutrition to help support the immune system, too.2 In the weaning phase, several vaccinations may be administered. Consult with your local veterinarian to develop a plan to proactively develop your herd’s active immunity.

Future health

Supporting innate, passive and active immunity all starts with nutrition during gestation. How you feed the cow can have a lifelong impact on the calf and its future health.

A University of Nebraska study evaluated nutrition’s impact on calves born from cows in two different feeding systems during gestation.3 Cows on native range were either provided supplemental nutrition or received no supplemental nutrition during the final trimester of fetal development. Not surprisingly, cows receiving supplemental nutrition had better body condition scores at calving. An interesting finding was the improvement in the calves’ health later in life. The study found the percentage of calves treated with antibiotics from both groups was similar between calving and weaning. However, from weaning to finishing, 12% of calves born from non-supplemented cows were treated with antibiotics compared to 0% of calves treated with antibiotics from cows that were supplemented during late gestation. The same study compared another set of cows fed crop residue in the last trimester and found similar results. The treatment rate for calves from supplemented cows was 3%, while the treatment rate for calves from non-supplemented cows was 11%. The study showed quality nutrition positively impacts fetal programming. The results also indicate positively impacting immune system development for calves sets a base for lifelong health.

Lifelong event

There’s no silver bullet to building a strong immune system. It’s a lifelong journey that takes a combination of sound nutrition and management strategies to develop and maintain. Take steps now to support cattle immunity by limiting stress during weaning, transport and weather changes. Make sure to provide balanced nutrition throughout all phases of life to ensure the immune system is maintained. Editor’s Note: This article was provided by Purina Animal Nutrition.

Deworming Adds Dollars Strategic timing is key. by Brandon Nuttelman, Ph.D.

dewormed cows was 13% greater than non-dewormed peers. Additionally, calves from strategically dewormed cows were 35 pounds heavier. Along with reducing nutrient availability, internal parasites have a negative impact on the animal’s immune system, making the animal more susceptible to sickness. The effect on the animal’s immune system also alters the animal’s ability to build an immune response when vaccinated. For instance, according to one study (Smith, et al.,19973), freshly weaned calves dewormed at the feedlot on arrival had 7% less morbidity than calves that were not dewormed.

Internal parasites have the largest impact on cattle’s daily dry matter intake (DMI). First and foremost, internal parasites cause cattle to have a satiety sensation, thus reducing DMI. Additionally, parasites rob nutrients consumed by cattle, as well as damage the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in reduced absorption of nutrients cattle consume. These factors reduce the overall energy available to cattle, resulting in lower growth, less milk production and reduced conception rates. A two-year study (Stromberg et al., 2000 2) found that conception rate for strategically Photo by Jessica Kroos

ewormers had the largest impact on profitability, compared to the other technologies available to the cow-calf industry, according to an often-cited study (Lawrence, Ibaburu, 20071). It evaluated the economic impacts of dewormers, growth promoting implants and ionophores in the cow-calf, stocker and feedlot sectors. Internal parasites continue to have a large economic impact on production variables in beef cattle operations. Typically, cattle infected with internal parasites do not exhibit clinical signs of infection. Although signs are difficult to see, impacts to the animal’s production are significant.

As cattle graze pastures, parasites on the blades of the grass are consumed with the grass. After ingestion, the parasites mature into adults that are capable of laying eggs. The animal excretes these eggs in its manure. Eggs will hatch and grow in the manure. Once weather and pasture conditions are ideal, the immature parasite will travel from the manure to grass blades, which cattle will consume, renewing the egg-laying process. — Brandon Nuttelman, Ph.D.

Understand the parasite life cycle

To develop a proper deworming strategy, it is important to understand how cattle become infected with parasites. As cattle graze pastures, parasites on the blades of the grass are consumed with the grass. After ingestion, the parasites mature into adults that are capable of laying eggs. The animal excretes these eggs in its manure. Eggs will hatch and grow in the manure. Once weather and pasture conditions are ideal, the immature parasites will travel from the manure to grass blades, which cattle will consume, renewing the egg-laying process. Length of this life cycle is dependent on the age of the cattle. This parasite life cycle and how cattle become infected throughout the grazing season suggests merit to deworming cattle multiple times throughout the season. This is the commonly recommended deworming strategy for cows: • Deworm cows prior to turning out to summer pastures. • Cows will become reinfected after grazing these pastures. With the parasite’s life cycle in mind, deworm cows approximately six to eight weeks after turnout (re-infection). This will clean out the cattle and reduce the number of parasites present on the pasture.

• Deworm cows six to eight weeks following the second deworming. If grazing pastures in areas that experience a hard freeze in the fall, delay this third deworming until after the hard freeze, as parasites will become dormant and will not re-infect cattle until subsequent pasture green-up. Usually, this occurs near the time spring-calving operations are pregnancy-checking cows. Operations grazing crop residues or cover crops also should deworm prior to turn-out on these fields. Cattle grazing these fields will remain parasite-free until they are turned onto green grass pastures that have been grazed the previous years.

Match management with product options

Producers who process cattle through a handling chute can choose to deworm with an oral white dewormer, such as Safeguard. Producers unable to process cattle through a handling chute, can strategically deworm cattle at recommended times with Safeguard pellets, meal, cubes, mineral or blocks. These products also can be incorporated into existing mineral or supplementation programs. Efficacy between the oral drench and the non-handling forms are equal. Collecting fecal samples following treatment to determine the number of eggs being shed in the manure helps prove efficacy of the product. Merck Animal Health provides this service and fecal egg counts are an easy way to determine if cattle are infected with internal parasites. It is difficult to see the effects of internal parasite infestation when driving by cattle or walking through the herd, but parasites can reduce profit potential through reduced growth, reproduction and negative effects on cattle health.

ACT’s Playbook

Communicating Across Generations Start with understanding what they value. As generations gather to travel and work together, sometimes they don’t understand each other. The next two columns are dedicated to communicating across generations and include a few stories and tips. Here are the first two tips: • Learn to acknowledge and appreciate differences. • Consider the ways different generations see value and where they place importance.

Acknowledge and appreciate differences (but stop stereotyping)

Let’s face it, we do things differently than our parents, our kids, our parents’ parents and so on. Times change, but we often behave as though that doesn’t apply to us. It can be easy to fall back on stereotypes when working across generations, which makes it particularly difficult to correct. However, in these situations, we must pause and try to avoid limiting biases. We

are all influenced by, and are products of when we were born, raised, became adults and gained our experiences. These experiences define who we are as individuals and are deeply ingrained in our personalities. It’s less a matter of changing these intrinsic aspects of ourselves and more about accepting and respecting those differences in others. Do not try to change generational attributes. Instead, I work

with individuals to identify the specific value each person adds to the group. Respect each person’s contribution and role, regardless of their generation.

Understand value differences

“Because it’s always been done that way,” doesn’t resonate as a legitimate reason with anyone, especially not people who are new to the business. While different generations may naturally value and prioritize different things, it’s valuable to have open discussions about the reasoning behind why things are done a certain way. Everyone may even agree things might benefit from an update. Effective communication relies on this dialogue and openness to change. Think of it this way: if someone younger questions “why,” and you can’t immediately explain it, then it is probably worth questioning. Consider the story of a young cattle producer, Brock. I met Brock at a conference, and he was feeling frustrated being back at the farm. While he didn’t regret the decision to leave his corporate sales representative role, he was wondering, just a little, if he and his wife, Kristi, had made the right choice. Still, feeling frustrated and admitting that to his dad were two very different things. “There is always a lot to do, so it’s not like I’m bored,” he said. “Actually, it’s more like underwhelmed.” Brock shared that before he returned to run cows, being a sales rep filled his cup with things to shoot for — goals, targets and opportunities for rollouts. He also knew what the objectives were and had input on setting his own metrics. But, back working with Dad, he didn’t get much feedback — even when he asked. It was difficult for him to approach his dad about where their ranching business was headed. Brock needed something to work toward coupled with directed feedback. Without these elements, he felt adrift. It’s not uncommon for highachieving people, call them strivers, to need a measuring stick of some sort — something to work toward. Without expectations, performance inevitably suffers, even from the best of the best. You see, his value was feedback and acknowledgement along with the necessary hard work. Having gone without it for too long, he was concerned his efforts didn’t matter or have a direct impact. As you approach conversations across generations, consider what matters to the other generation. It doesn’t mean you have to agree but seeking to understand “how they are wired” can bring more fun and success to your operation.

From the Field In Celebration

Carlee Meeks and Quin Rutt

Carlee Meeks and Quin Rutt were married on May 21 at Upstream Ranch, Taylor, Neb.

In Passing Edward William Davidson, Jr., 85, Senoia, Ga., passed June 8. “Ed,” was born May 27, 1937, as the eldest Edward son of the late Edward Davidson William Davidson, Sr., and Mary Charles Berry Davidson of Atlanta, Ga. Ed grew up in Atlanta’s West End and graduated from Brown High School in 1956. He then enrolled in the University of Georgia studying forestry and wildlife management, but shortly thereafter, he returned to Atlanta to marry his loving and devoted wife of 66 years, Delores Dean Davidson, whom he had met in kindergarten. She survives him in death. Ed served in the Naval Reserves, attended Southern Tech and completed his electrical engineering degree. While working for General Electric, he took night classes at Georgia Tech to complete his Professional Engineering certification. In 1965, he began work with a small design and engineering firm named Edwards and Rosser. Ed rose to become a senior partner and later chairman emeritus of the board of what became Rosser International. In his later years, he took on the role of chairman and consultant to International Aviation Consultants, LLC, joint majority/ minority firm that managed various aspects of the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport runway expansion. Ed also served as chairman of the Greater Atlanta Economic Alliance, championing small, female and minority-owned construction firms. As a consulting engineer, Ed received numerous professional recognitions and served as president of the Georgia Engineers Council, president of the

| August 2022

American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Georgia and later as a national director and vicepresident in ACEC National. He was also a member of the Atlanta Rotary Club and president of the Georgia Hereford Association. Despite his many successes in the engineering field, Ed’s longstanding love of the outdoors and cattle ranching always drew him back to his farm south of Atlanta in Senoia. In his later years, Ed was able to devote himself to the breeding and sale of purebred polled Hereford cattle as well as spending time with family who often visited “the farm.” He and his wife, Delores, were also active in several small country churches in the area. Things that made Ed smile included riding his white horse, admiring his cows and good cigars. Ed is survived by his four children: Donald Lee Davidson, Atlanta; Douglas Craig (Caroline) Davidson, Sr., Johns Creek, Ga.; Jan (Jay) Davidson Orzech, Duluth, Ga.; and Debra (Bill) Davidson Scott, Auburn, Ala. His 11 grandchildren were a special source of pride and devotion. Ed also has 11 great-grandchildren. Ed is survived by his younger brother, Charles Wesley (Nancy) Davidson, and pre-deceased by parents; and his youngest brother, Joseph Earnest Davidson.

Dean Thompson

Dean Allan Thompson, 88, Peru, Ind., passed June 13. Dean was born on Jan. 29, 1934, to the late Paul Franklin Thompson and Pauline St Clair Thrush. Dean grew up farming and was a graduate of Peru High School and attended the Purdue University. He honorably served in the United States Army in Germany. Dean was a prize-winning Hereford breeder and traveled the world judging competitions. Dean lived in California for several years and enjoyed spending time at his ranch in Zimbabwe. Dean settled in Tennessee, initially at a farm in Bedford County, then moved to Music Row in Nashville, where he produced music with Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass. Dean was an avid reader, competitive weightlifter, investor,

entrepreneur, proud Republican and philanthropist who supported multiple charities in Peru, Tennessee and Burma (Friends of Burma). Dean married Shirley Roach Thompson on May 25, 2003, and resided with her in Nashville until her death on May 29, 2020, at which time he moved to Sumner County to be closer to his step-children’s families. Dean is preceded in death by his parents and sister, Suzanne Thompson. Dean is survived by his stepdaughter, Ashley (Benjamin) George Cooley, and stepson, Christopher (Katherine) Mark George, and three grandchildren: Samuel William Cooley, Thomas Harold Prince George and Francis Eugene Prince George. Dean is also survived by his brother, Jerry (Sandy) Thrush Thompson; nephews: Stanley (Janet) Thompson, Stuart (Kimberly) Thompson, Steven (Lisa) Thompson, Sterling (Julie) Thompson and Scott (Julie) Thompson; great-nieces and great-nephews: Jessica (Jakub) Petersson, Allison (Joshua) Copeland, Tyler Thompson, Kyle (Chelsea) Thompson, Lauren Thompson, Collin Thompson, Megan (Ryan) Price, Taylor (Nicholas) Hibner, Camron Dean Thompson, Paul Ross Thompson, Tanner (Jewel) Thompson and Ana Thompson; and great-great-nieces and -nephews: Josefine Petersson, Julia Petersson, Giorgia Copeland, Harper Copeland, Ximena Flores and Caleb Jacob Hibner. Donna Curry, 56, McAlester, Okla., passed June 28. Donna was born on Nov. 29, 1965, in Clinton, Okla., the Donna Curry daughter of Al and Annahue (Baisch) Wood. She grew up in Custer City, Okla., where she graduated high school and was an allstate basketball player. She received her bachelor’s degree in education from Oklahoma State University and later her master’s degree from East Central State University in Ada, Okla. She and Curtis Curry were married on March 11, 1989, and in 1997 made their home in McAlester, Okla. Donna immediately went to work at FrinkChambers School as a kindergarten teacher and quickly got her counselor’s certificate; she was the school counselor for 25 years. Donna loved her work and all the kids. Outside of her own family, her work was her life. She was a 4-H leader for the school kids, many of whom earned multiple state and national awards. Donna was also active on the family ranch where they breed and raise registered Hereford cattle. She was a member of the Oklahoma Hereford Women and the National Hereford Women, where she served on the board of directors. She also loved to spend time at the lake with her family. Donna is survived by her husband, Curtis Curry; a daughter and son-inlaw, Staci and Matt Thomsen; a son

and daughter-in-law, Cameron and Bailey Curry; grandchildren: Maddix and Maisyn Thomsen, and Eliza Curry; her parents, Al and Annahue Wood; a sister, Wanda Delventhal, and Wanda’s husband, Steven, and their children, Taryn Grubb, Zac Grubb and Zac’s wife, Mackenzie, and Cody Grubb and Cody’s wife, Heather, and their daughter, Rachel; parents-in-law, Ted and Janice Curry; a brother-in-law, Steven Curry, and Steven’s wife, April, and their children, Macy and Cooper; and a sister-in-law, Tina Condict.
