World’s Perspective

Opportunities are Earned

by Sydnee Shive

Most things in life begin with an opportunity.

| December 2022

Sitting in my chair on the Saturday morning of the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting, surrounded

by Hereford breeders, Hall of Merit inductee Dale Stith said something during his speech that really struck me.

He said, “Young people in the room, people have to give you your first opportunity. You have to earn the next one and the next one and the next one.”

If a light bulb popping up over my head and turning on was a possibility, I’m pretty sure it would’ve happened then. Dale was right. We all started somewhere — with someone who gave us an opportunity. Once an individual or organization helps you get your foot wedged in the door — pushing it open and getting to the next opportunity and the next opportunity and the next opportunity is something you must do on your own.

Dale’s statement caused me to reflect — which is fitting because we’re quickly approaching the end of the year and the beginning of a new one. Nov. 30 marked six months as managing editor of the Hereford World, and I couldn’t help thinking about my time with the Association. Between kicking off the year at Cattlemen’s Congress and the National Western Stock Show, to moving to a new city, meeting new faces and attending events like the VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo and the AHA Annual Membership Meeting and Conference for the first time, it’s been jampacked. But the AHA and Hereford Publications Inc. were kind enough to provide me with my first opportunity post-graduation, and I am extremely thankful for that.

Opportunities are occasionally given, and opportunities are always earned. Opportunities are the reward of hard work, persistence, dedication and

determination. Opportunities are meant to be taken advantage of. Sometimes, opportunities find you, and sometimes, opportunity is found somewhere unexpected. But they all begin with someone giving you a chance — you decide what happens next.

In this issue

In the final Hereford World of the year, you’ll find coverage from the 2022 AHA Annual Membership Meeting and Conference. At the Annual Meeting, powerful messages were shared about the Hereford breed.

Hereford enthusiasts from across the country networked and reconnected.

Five legendary individuals were inducted into the Hereford Hall of Fame and Hall of Merit. The Hereford Youth Foundation of America awarded $165,000 in scholarships to National Junior Hereford Association members.

Three breeders were elected by their peers to the AHA Board of Directors.

Champions were slapped and hands were shaken at the American Royal, and a new National Hereford Queen was crowned. Coverage of the fun-filled three days begins on Page 31.

Almost all things in life, like opportunities, can be traced back to one simple, four-letter word: earn. December is a time for planning and looking forward. During his presentation of the 2022-2027 AHA strategic plan, Kevin Ochsner said, “Strategy is about earning the right to win.” What do you want the new year to look like? Set your goals, make a strategy and look for places to earn opportunities.

December is also a time for reflection, gratitude and giving. With the new year on our doorstep, enjoy your time spent with family and spend a little time reflecting on the year you had. What opportunities do you hope for? Reach out and earn them.

Breed Focus

Historic Opportunity

by Jack Ward

Team Hereford has never been more important.

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

Heterosis pays, and heterosis created with Hereford genetics pays even more.

The truth of both statements is verified by credible research spanning decades.

Research conducted at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC), Simplot Ranches, Harris Ranches and Circle A Ranch documented performance advantages associated with direct heterosis in Hereford-sired F1 cattle versus their straightbred contemporaries.

The research also documented the performance and economic advantages resulting from maternal heterosis in Hereford-sired F1 females compared to their straightbred peers.

Keep in mind that maternal heterosis is unmatched at improving lowly heritable traits such as fertility and longevity. As you’ve heard, fertility is 10 times more important than any other trait when it comes to the profitability of a commercial cow-calf operation.

Moreover, the USMARC 2000 bull project proved that Hereford is the most unrelated of the of Bos Taurus breeds.

Consequently, Hereford provides more heterosis in crossbreeding than other Bos Taurus breeds.

Yet, some commercial producers remain reluctant to utilize crossbreeding.

Others who embrace heterosis have yet to learn how different the Hereford breed is today compared to two decades ago.

The 1881 booklet you received with this issue of Hereford World illustrates Hereford’s genetic improvement over time, how it was possible and the industry opportunity to enhance production efficiency and sustainability by incorporating more crossbreeding that includes Hereford genetics.

Hereford genetics provide solutions The booklet also defines the historic opportunity Hereford breeders have to gain market share when the industry begins building back at least 2.5

million beef cows culled during the current drought.

Various data over time suggests commercial cow herd performance has remained static or declined when it comes to key revenue metrics like reproductive efficiency, weaning weight and weaning weight per cow exposed. Higher input costs and challenging margins demand producers do more with less — harness more production efficiency, the hallmark Hereford advantage.

So, Hereford opportunity to expand market share is magnified by the industry’s need to incorporate more heterosis as it rebuilds the cow herd.

Plus, society is demanding more of beef production. Today, more consumers, companies and lenders want documentation of how cattle and beef production impact global warming.

Hereford is the first to document breed genetic relationships with methane production and nitrogen excretion via a collaborative research production between the American Hereford Association (AHA) and AgNext at Colorado State University.

Grab hold of 1881

Moreover, the booklet serves as a playbook of sorts for Team Hereford, which includes everyone involved in producing and promoting the breed. It provides key, common messages about the breed’s role and ability.

AHA staff unveiled the 1881 booklet and shared some of its messages during the educational forums at the Annual Membership Meeting and Conference in October. I’ve never seen the atmosphere as electric as when the participants saw and understood the exciting opportunity available for Herefords in the United States.

I encourage you to spend time with the 1881 booklet, keep it handy and find deliberate ways of sharing the messages with those in your circle.

Here’s wishing each of you a joyous and Merry Christmas.

Performance Matters

Sustainability Leadership

by Shane Bedwell

Learning more about the breed’s carbon footprint benefits the whole industry.

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.

Every year, I look forward to the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting and Conference. It’s a chance to reconnect with breeders I already know and meet new ones. Without question, this year’s educational forums were a highlight of the event — jam-packed with phenomenal content and a standingroom-only crowd most of the day.

One forum highlighted the pioneering collaborative research project AHA is conducting with AgNext and the beef cattle genetics team at Colorado State University. Briefly, AHA is funding a graduate student to conduct research about beef cattle sustainability, relative to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and nitrogen excretion. Goals of the research include documenting genetic differences for traits related to GHG emissions and nitrogen excretion and developing a selection tool that can be used to make improvement.

Early literature suggests that Dry Matter Intake (DMI) and methane production have a moderately high correlation of 0.65, while the heritability of methane production is moderate at 0.19 to 0.27. These levels suggest progress could be made if there were a trait to measure. Bottom line, the goal is to develop a baseline for GHG emissions and nitrogen excretion in cattle.

These units at Olsen Ranches, Harrisburg, Neb., collect individual methane emissions for the collaborative research project between the AHA and Colorado State University.

8

| December 2022

Data amassed through AHA’s Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) and the National Reference Sire Program make this research possible.

Social license is imperative

Some may think the societal discussion about global warming is a political fight and wonder why AHA is investing resources in this research. As Kim Stackhouse-Lawson, Ph.D., shared during the forum, “If this issue was based on science, then it would have been squashed a long time ago. Instead, it is driven by emotion.” Like it or not, the beef industry is coming under fire, and our social license to operate is being attacked. The AHA Board supports this research and is excited about Hereford being an industry leader in this area.

Hereford has demonstrated its obvious advantages in fertility, longevity and hybrid vigor, as well as a significant feed efficiency advantage. Adding DMI and Sustained Cow Fertility to the genetic evaluation in 2017 enhanced breeder opportunity to make further progress.

Consider data from the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center documenting that Hereford consumed 1.7 pounds less feed per day when compared to Angus.

This advantage equated to 191 pounds less corn per Hereford steer during the feeding period. Multiply this advantage by the number of cattle marketed as Certified Hereford Beef® in fiscal year 21. It equates to saving 31.6 million pounds of corn — enough corn to feed a 100,000-head feedlot for 19 days. To say that DMI is a key, economicallyrelevant trait is an understatement.

Hereford advantages provide commercial cow-calf producers with revenue-enhancing solutions that lead to improved economic sustainability. Now, the breed is poised to demonstrate its advantages for sustainability, relative to GHG emissions.

Merry Christmas.

female maintained on the inventory.

Inventories submitted between Jan. 16 and March 1 will be charged the normal $5.50 per cow, $3 per first-time heifer and $1.50 per bull (optional). Any inventories turned in after March 1 will incur the $2 perhead surcharge.

If you intend to register a calf and record its weaning performance through the Whole Herd TPR program, the calf’s dam must be listed on the current inventory.

Inventory FAQs

Q: I sold a cow and transferred her to someone else’s ownership.

Why is she still showing on my inventory?

A: If an animal is listed on your inventory but you have sold the animal, then a proper disposal code and date must be reported in order to remove the animal from your inventory.

If the animal was sold with papers, American Hereford Association (AHA) staff does not automatically remove the animal from your inventory, because they are not certain if you still have offspring from the animal to register. If you would like to remove the animal, use the disposal code “T – sold with papers” and the appropriate disposal date.

Q: If I have embryo transfer (ET) calves out of a dam I do not own, do I have to add the donor dam to my inventory?

A: No, you do not have to add the donor dam to your inventory. However, a recipient cow inventory fee for each ET calf will be billed if the calf is

recorded with birth performance information (birth weight). If birth performance information isn’t reported, a recipient inventory fee won’t be billed.

Q: I jointly own a dam with someone else, but I don’t have physical possession of the dam and won’t be registering her calf.

How do I need to mark her on my inventory?

A: If you multi-own a dam with someone else, keep the dam on your inventory. However, if you aren’t the member who will be registering her calf, mark her as “CE12 – Multi-owned, no calf.”

Q: I have females that aren’t showing up on my inventory.

Why? A: Remember, females won’t appear on the inventory until they have reached at least 18 months of age. Heifers should only be enrolled on the inventory if they’re bred to calve in the season described. In this instance, spring 2023.

Inventories can be submitted electronically through MyHerd.org or via mail or email. As always, if you are having problems navigating through MyHerd you can view more than 20 tutorials on the MyHerd Help pages, or call Customer Service at 816-842-3757.

AHA Board Adopts Rules and Regulation Changes

The American Hereford Association unanimously approved these changes to the rules and regulations of the American Hereford Association, during AHA Board of Directors meeting Oct. 19-20, 2022. What follows is language of the official document.

Resolutions to be Adopted by the Board of Directors of American Hereford Association Rules and Regulations Changes, October 19, 2022

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Association to amend the Rules and Regulations of the Association in the respects set forth below.

RESOLVED, that Rule 2 of Section III of the Association’s Rules and Regulations shall be amended by deleting Rule 2 in its entirety and by inserting, in lieu thereof, the following: Rule 2. ELIGIBILITY: Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to compliance with all applicable requirements contained in these Rules, the following animals are eligible for entry in the American Hereford Record: • An animal born in the United States that is the progeny of parents, both of which are registered either in the American Hereford Record or in the herd book of another association that is a member of the World Hereford Council; or • An animal born outside of the United States that, as of the date that application for entry is made into the American Hereford Record, is registered in the herd book of another association that is a member of the World Hereford Council.

Any member seeking to register an animal where such registration is based upon that animal or another animal being registered in the herd book of another association that is a member of the World Hereford Council shall furnish to AHA evidence of such foreign registration as AHA shall require. An animal may be deceased at the date that application for entry is made into the American Hereford Record. A member seeking to register an animal that is registered in the herd book of another association that is a member of the World Hereford Council is not required to be the owner or former owner of that animal.

FURTHER RESOLVED, that Rule 19 of Section III of the Association’s Rules and Regulations shall be amended by deleting Rule 19 in its entirety and by inserting, in lieu thereof, the following: Rule 19. [omitted] FURTHER RESOLVED, that the title and Rules 4 and 5 of Section IV of the Association’s Rules and Regulations shall be amended by deleting the title and Rules 4 and 5 of Section IV in their entireties and by inserting, in lieu thereof, the following: SECTION IV: OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER OF REGISTRATIONS Rule 4. COW WITH CALF AT SIDE: When a cow is transferred with a calf at side, the calf must first be registered in accordance with these rules (including Rule 5 of Section IV - FIRST OWNER AT REGISTRATION). Transfer of the registration of the calf shall then be separately recorded to the transferee in accordance with these rules. This is often referred to as a “transfer on entry.”

(See backside of registration application.)

Rule 5. FIRST OWNER AT REGISTRATION: The first owner, as reflected in the Association’s records, upon the registration of an animal shall be as follows:

Hereford.org

• for an animal that is neither an ET animal nor a clone animal, the first owner shall be the owner of the dam’s registration at the time of birth of such animal; or • for either an ET animal or a clone animal, the first owner shall be the applicant for registration of such animal.

Any transfer of the registration to a subsequent owner shall be separately recorded in accordance with these rules.

FURTHER RESOLVED, that Section V of the Association’s Rules and Regulations be amended by deleting Section V in its entirety and by inserting, in lieu thereof, the following: SECTION V: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION Rule 1. DNA TESTING: Each bull used for artificial insemination (AI) breeding purposes, whether for non-owner breeding purposes or for in-herd breeding purposes, shall be DNA profiled as provided in Section VII and a record of such DNA profile shall be filed with the Association in order that any progeny sired by such bull through AI is eligible for registration.

Rule 2. AI BULL PERMITS: Any bull whose semen is used for AI purposes shall have an AI Bull Permit issued by the Association prior to the registration of any progeny from such bull. This requirement is applicable to bulls whose semen is used for in-herd AI purposes and to bulls whose semen is used for nonowner AI purposes. In order for a bull whose semen is used for non-owner AI purposes to receive an AI Bull Permit, the DNA profile for such bull shall include parent verification, and such bull shall be tested for all known genetic abnormalities.

Rule 3. IN-HERD AI USE AND NON-OWNER AI USE: A NonOwner AI Certificate of Service is not required to register the resulting progeny when both the sire and dam are in the same recorded ownership. When the sire and dam are not in the same recorded ownership, compliance with either Option A or B below is required for registration of the resulting progeny: Option A (Non-Certificate AI Sire Program): • The bull siring such progeny may be a participant in the Non-Certificate AI Sire Program. This Program allows the owner of such bull to sell semen without the need for a NonOwner AI Certificate. Progeny born on or after December 1, 2006, are eligible for registration under this Program.

• In order to be eligible for this Program, all of the recorded owners of such bull shall execute and deliver to the Association an enrollment form, in a form provided by the Association. In the event that such bull is owned by a syndicate, the designated representative of the syndicate shall execute and deliver to the Association such enrollment form.

• Once a bull is a participant in this Program, such bull shall not be eligible to participate in the procedure referred to continued on page 16...

December 2022 |

...Board Resolutions continued from page 15

in Option B below. The fee for a bull to participate in this Program shall be as established, from time to time, by the Association.

Option B (Traditional AI): • The member registering such progeny shall obtain a NonOwner AI Certificate from the owner of the AI Bull Permit for such bull for each progeny subject to registration.

The Non-Owner AI Certificate shall be submitted to the Association at the same time as the application for registration of such progeny is submitted to the Association.

• The owner of the AI Bull Permit for such bull shall be obligated to supply a Non-Owner AI Certificate upon the request of the member registering such progeny.

Such owner shall be entitled to purchase a Non-Owner AI Certificate from the Association for such fee as may be established, from time to time, by the Association.

Rule 4. DEATH OF BULL: Progeny sired by AI by a bull that is the subject of an AI Bull Permit shall be entitled to registration after the death of such bull upon the same terms and conditions as progeny sired by AI by such bull prior to the death of such bull.

Rule 5. LABELING OF SEMEN: Semen collected from a bull that is used for AI purposes shall be properly identified by the name and AI Bull Permit number for such bull. It shall be the responsibility of the owner of any bull whose semen is used for AI purposes to require the person or entity collecting such semen to properly label such semen. Progeny sired by semen that is not properly labeled shall not be eligible for registration.

Rule 6. LIMITATIONS: • The Association may cancel the AI Bull Permit of any bull that has been satisfactorily documented as being a carrier of a gene that could produce a genetic defect in its progeny.

• The Association may restrict or limit the number of NonOwner AI Certificates that may be issued for a particular bull if, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, the semen from such bull is being used so often as to cause material and irreparable damage to the breed’s genetic base. The judgment of the Board of Directors shall be based on such evidence as the Board of Directors, in its reasonable judgment, deems appropriate.

Rule 7. NON-OWNER AI CERTIFICATE ALLOCATION FOR A MULTI-OWNER BULL OR FOR A BULL OWNED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY A SYNDICATE: Only an owner or co-owner of a bull for whom a AI Bull Permit has been issued is entitled to obtain a Non-Owner AI Certificate. Certificates will be issued on request to any recorded owner or co-owner. Contractual agreements regarding certificate privileges among co-owners are the responsibility of those co-owners. The Association will not be responsible for compliance with any such agreement.

In the instance where a recorded owner of the bull is a syndicate, it is the responsibility of the syndicate’s designated representative to handle the distribution of Non-Owner AI Certificates. Those individual members of the syndicate that are not otherwise reflected as one of the four recorded owners of record of such bull will be required to obtain Non-Owner AI

16

| December 2022

Certificates from a recorded owner in order to register progeny of such bull.

The Association will provide a service whereby a member of the Association can participate in a “Breeding Share Agreement” for bulls. When members participate in a “Breeding Share Agreement,” they can be individually invoiced for NonOwner AI Certificates when progeny are registered.

Rule 8. SEMEN DONATIONS TO COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES: The Association will make Non-Owner AI Certificates available for use by colleges or universities when a breeder makes a donation of semen from a bull that is the subject of an AI Bull Permit. A Non-Owner AI Certificate will be issued to the college or university at no cost to the breeder. The following rules must be complied with: The semen must be a donation to the college or university.

• The breeder must apply for the Non-Owner AI Certificates in the form of a letter to the Association indicating the institution to which the semen donation is made.

• The bull must qualify under the current rules for NonOwner AI Certificates.

• The certificates and semen must be used by the institution that received the donation. Applications for registry from any other party will not be accepted.

• Upon approval by the Association, a Non-Owner AI Certificate will be issued directly to the college or university.

Rule 9. LIABILITY: The issuance of Non-Owner AI Certificates by the Association should in no way be construed as guaranteeing conception or that the resulting progeny shall be eligible for registration. There shall be no refunding of fees paid to the Association for a Non-Owner AI Certificate.

FURTHER RESOLVED, that Section VI of the Association’s Rules and Regulations be amended by deleting Section VI in its entirety and by inserting, in lieu thereof, the following: SECTION VI: REGISTRATION OF AN IMPORTED ANIMAL OR AN ANIMAL BORN FROM AN IMPORTED EMBRYO Rule 1. REGISTRATION OF CALF IMPORTED IN DAM: If a dam was bred prior to importation and the record of service does not appear on the documentation provided to AHA with respect to such dam by another association that is a member of the World Hereford Council, the member seeking to register the resulting progeny shall provide to AHA from the owner of the sire on the date of service such information regarding such service as AHA shall require.

When the imported dam was bred prior to importation by AI from a bull not registered in the American Hereford Record, the member seeking to register the resulting progeny shall provide to AHA the DNA profile of such service sire from the official lab of the association that is a member of the World Hereford Council where such service sire is registered.

When, prior to the importation of a dam, such dam was bred by AI from a bull that is registered in the American Hereford Record and where no semen interest is owned by the breeder in the exporting country, the registration of the resulting progeny shall be subject to compliance with all of the requirements of Section V of the Rules.

Rule 2. REGISTRATION OF CALF IMPORTED AT SIDE: Registration of a calf imported at side of its dam shall be subject to the same requirements for registration as an animal that is not born in the United States.

Hereford.org

Rule 3. REGISTRATION OF AN ANIMAL SIRED BY A SEMEN INTEREST IN A BULL DOMICILED IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY: Where a member seeks to register an animal that was sired by AI with semen from a bull domiciled in a foreign country, the bull shall be registered in the American Hereford Record and shall be subject to the same requirements for the use of its semen as a bull that is domiciled in the United States; provided that DNA testing for such bull shall be provided by the official lab of the association that is a member of the World Hereford Council where such bull is registered.

Rule 4. REGISTRATION OF AN ANIMAL RESULTING FROM AN EMBRYO IMPORTED FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY: To register an animal resulting from ET with an embryo imported from a foreign country, the animal shall be subject to the same requirements for registration as an animal that is born in the United States by means of ET. FURTHER RESOLVED, that Section VII of the Association’s Rules and Regulations be amended by deleting Section VII in its entirety and by inserting, in lieu thereof, the following: SECTION VII: DNA TESTING Rule 1. DNA TESTING: Over a period of years a vast amount of technical information has become available, and DNA testing is now a useful tool for the Association’s members.

Applying for the DNA profile of an animal requires a request to the Association for a DNA profile kit for each animal to be tested. The request must include the name and any registry number of the animal to be tested.

The kit will contain all the necessary instructions for securing a DNA sample and the shipping instructions to send the sample to the Association’s designated laboratory.

Rule 2. REQUIRED DNA TESTING: A. The Association may require that any animal that has been registered to be subjected to a DNA profile by the Association’s designated laboratory.

The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors or the Executive Vice President may require that a DNA profile be made, by the Association’s designated laboratory, of any animal that has been alleged to have been incorrectly registered or any animal for which tissue analysis is otherwise deemed advisable.

It shall be the duty of the owner of record of any animal in question and the owner of record of the purported sire and dam to afford the Association or its representatives reasonable opportunity to secure DNA samples from the animals involved in any investigation.

The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors is empowered to determine who shall pay the costs of any investigation, including laboratory fees incurred under the provisions of this rule.

B. Prior to the filing of an application for registration of any animal with respect to which a DNA profile is not on file with the Association, the Association may require the owner of said animal, at the owner’s cost, to provide a DNA sample for such animal to the Association’s designated laboratory and to authorize such designated laboratory to provide a DNA profile for such animal to the Association.

At any Hereford competition, the owner of any animal that wins such competition shall, promptly after the announcement that such animal has won such competition, permit the Association to secure a DNA sample from such animal and

Hereford.org

authorize the Association to obtain a DNA profile of such animal from the Association’s designated laboratory.

C. If at any time the Association is in possession of two (2) or more DNA profiles allegedly from the same animal that do not match including the winner in any Hereford competition, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may require the Executive Vice President to undertake such investigation as the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee deems appropriate, and upon the conclusion of such investigation, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate as provided in Article XI of the Bylaws, including without limitation the forfeiture of any prizes including any monetary awards or ribbons awarded to such animal at such competition, the suspension of the owner’s membership, or the revocation of the owner’s membership.

Any such investigation may include requiring any owner to permit the Association to secure another DNA sample from such animal and authorize the Association to obtain a DNA profile of such animal from the Association’s designated laboratory.

Rule 3. REFUSAL: If the owner of record shall refuse reasonable opportunity to the Association or its designated agents to secure DNA samples as set forth in Rule 2 of this Section, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate as provided in Article XI of the Bylaws, including without limitation the suspension of the registration of the animal in question.

Rule 4. NON-REGISTERED ANIMALS: The Association may collect and maintain DNA profiles on animals other than registered animals. The Association may, from time to time, compare the DNA profiles of registered animals and the DNA profiles of animals with respect to which applications for registration have been submitted with the DNA profiles of nonregistered animals. The Association may deny registration to, or revoke the registration of, any animal based on this comparison.

FURTHER RESOLVED, that Section VIII of the Association’s Rules and Regulations be amended by deleting Section VIII in its entirety and by inserting, in lieu thereof, the following: SECTION VIII: CLONING Rule 1. REGISTRATION OF CLONES. Except as otherwise provided herein, and subject to compliance with all applicable requirements contained in these Rules, an animal that is produced through cloning may be registered. Registration shall be requested via a special application form provided by the Association and with payment of the regular registration fee, plus an additional clone registration fee as determined by the Association.

Rule 2: DONOR ANIMAL. The donor animal of the resulting clone animal must be a registered animal recorded in the American Hereford Record and must be DNA profiled as provided in Section VII with a record of such DNA profile filed with the Association. The DNA profile for such donor animal shall include parent verification, and such donor animal shall be tested for all known genetic abnormalities. continued on page 18...

...Board Resolutions continued from page 17

Rule 3: BREEDER. The breeder identified on the registration certificate of the donor animal shall be identified as the breeder on the registration certificate of the resulting clone animal.

Rule 4. FIRST OWNER AT REGISTRATION. The first owner, as reflected in the Association’s records, of the registration of the clone animal shall be determined in accordance with Rule 5 of Section IV. Rule 5. DNA PROFILING. DNA profiling of the clone animal is required and the DNA profile of the clone animal must match the DNA profile of the donor animal to confirm that it is a clone.

DNA profiling may also be required by the Association of the surrogate dam.

Rule 6. DEATH OF DONOR ANIMALS. Progeny that is produced through cloning after the death of the donor animal shall be eligible for registration upon the same terms and conditions as progeny produced through cloning prior to the death of said donor animal.

Rule 7. REGISTRATION CERTIFICATES. Any registration certificate issued for a resulting clone animal shall be designated by “CL” following the name of the animal. The name must be no longer than 30 spaces long including the CL designation. The registration number of the donor animal shall also be stated on the registration certificate of the resulting clone animal.

Rule 8. RIGHTS IN MATERIALS, ANIMALS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Nothing set forth herein or included on any registration certificates or other Association records should be construed as an indication that the Association takes any position as to the ownership or intellectual property rights of any party in and/or to genetic or other biological materials obtained from donor animals or resulting from cloning procedures. Any party transferring or otherwise disposing of, and any party purchasing or otherwise acquiring, genetic or other biological materials or animals, and any party otherwise involved in cloning activities, should take appropriate action (including due diligence) to ensure that all rights needed or desired in relation to such materials, animals and activities have been secured and that all actions in relation to such materials, animals and activities do not infringe or otherwise violate the rights of others.

Rule 9. BREEDING VALUES. Initial expected progeny differences (EPDs) generated from National Cattle Evaluation for a resulting clone animal shall be the same values as the donor animal. All data of future progeny from a resulting clone animal will be pooled with the donor progeny data for genetic evaluation.

FURTHER RESOLVED, that Section IX of the Association’s Rules and Regulations be amended by deleting Section IX in its entirety and by inserting, in lieu thereof, the following: SECTION IX: GENOME EDITING Rule 1. RESTRICTIONS ON REGISTRATION. Except as otherwise provided herein, and subject to compliance with all applicable requirements contained in these Rules, an animal

18

| December 2022

that has an intentional genomic alteration (IGA) produced by genome editing may be registered subject to the following preapproval and eligibility requirements: • Prior to implementing the IGA in the animal, preliminary approval of the IGA shall be requested via a special IGA pre-approval application form provided by the Association and with payment of an IGA pre-approval request fee as determined by the Association. The member applying for pre-approval must provide documentation describing the IGA to be introduced and the expected functional difference that the IGA will create in the genome-edited animal. The Board of Directors in its sole discretion may grant or withhold pre-approval, taking into consideration the impact of introducing the IGA into the Hereford population, informed by scientific and industry standards and practices at the time the application for pre-approval is reviewed; and • Eligibility for registration is restricted to those animals possessing an IGA that has been appropriately reviewed and approved by the applicable regulatory agency — currently the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Rule 2. REGISTRATION. Registration for a genome-edited animal shall be requested via a special application form provided by the Association and with payment of the regular registration fee, plus an additional IGA registration fee as determined by the Association.

Rule 3. DNA PROFILING AND CONFIRMATION OF EDIT. To be registered, the genome-edited animal must be DNA profiled as provided in Section VII and with a record of such DNA profile filed with the Association. The DNA profile for such genomeedited animal shall include parent verification. In addition, the genome-edited animal must be genome sequenced to confirm the intended edit has occurred. A record of such genome sequencing and confirmation shall be filed with the Association.

Rule 4. REGISTRATION CERTIFICATES. A registration certificate issued for a genome-edited animal shall be designated by “PB” (Precision Breeding) following the name of the animal. The name must be no longer than 30 spaces long including the PB designation.

Rule 5: RIGHTS IN MATERIALS, ANIMALS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Nothing set forth herein or included on any registration certificates or other Association records should be construed as an indication that the Association takes any position as to the ownership or intellectual property rights of any party in and to genetic or other biological materials used in or resulting from genomeediting activities. Any party transferring or otherwise disposing of, and any party purchasing or otherwise acquiring, genetic or other biological materials or animals, and any party otherwise involved in genome-editing activities, should take appropriate action (including due diligence) to ensure that all rights needed or desired in relation to such materials, animals and activities have been secured and that all actions in relation to such materials, animals and activities do not infringe or otherwise violate the rights of others.

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Association’s Rules and Regulations be restated to conform to the amendments set forth herein.

F ear not: for, behold,

I bring you good tidings of great joy…

“The Christmas Story”

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

CHB Bites

Demand the Brand

“CHB Bites” is a column designed to keep you in-the-know about the Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) program. To get involved with CHB on social media, search Certified Hereford Beef on Facebook and Pinterest, or @certifiedherefordbeef on Instagram.

Ask for Certified Hereford Beef® Hereford producers can play a significant role in creating demand for Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) in the marketplace by utilizing their connections and asking for CHB at restaurants and grocery stores. In fact, there is a campaign — Demand the Brand — which was reintroduced at the educational forums held in conjunction with the American Hereford Association Annual Meeting in October. The campaign puts the power in Hereford producers’ hands “As owners of the CHB brand, it is important for Hereford producers to ask and talk about CHB at restaurants and grocery stores,” says Amari Seiferman, CHB president and chief executive officer. “Consistently requesting the brand can start a chain reaction, influencing retail and foodservice distributors to partner with CHB to meet customer demands.”

| December 2022

During the educational forum, Seiferman introduced cards that producers can leave in restaurant receipt books or hand to meat department representatives at grocery stores. These cards tell the story behind the brand and provide the restaurant or grocery store with instructions to learn more about

the program.

There is space on the cards for producers to write a short note about their operation, tying a local connection to Certified Hereford Beef.

Unexpected Gifts

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, nothing was stirring, not even a … calf?

That’s right, there was a calf in our house right before Christmas.

More specifically, there was a calf in our bathtub.

You see, during the winter months in Indiana, it gets cold, and this particular year was no exception. The poor calf was cold and shivering, and we had to get him warm. He had lost his mom and didn’t have a cow to care for him.

We put the calf into the bathtub, where we rinsed him with warm water and cleaned him off. What we thought was a tragedy turned out to be one of the best Christmas presents we could’ve received.

Throughout the following weeks, the calf started taking a bottle and began to enjoy our company.

Foundation’s Focus

Creating a Future

by Tar Tut

Rick and Bonnie Coley-Malir provide opportunities for NJHA members.

Rick and Bonnie Coley-Malir, Dublin, Ohio, were recognized with the NJHA Honorary Junior Member of the Year Award during the 2022 NJHA and HYFA Awards Luncheon.

Rick and Bonnie Coley-Malir, Dublin, Ohio, are certainly no strangers to the industry and supporting the next generation of Hereford youth. Their love and passion for generously giving has only grown over the years through the Coley-Malir Leadership Endowment. In 2016, the couple announced a $500,000 leadership endowment, a 10-year gift to fund a lifetime of leadership opportunities for National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members.

Their efforts ensured the future of the breed will remain in good hands by supporting the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA).

The couple was recognized with the NJHA Honorary Junior Member of the Year Award for their support and leadership during the NJHA and HYFA Awards Luncheon on Oct. 21. This award is given to NJHA and HYFA supporters whose involvement and generosity creates a lasting impact for the next generation of Hereford enthusiasts.

The couple currently own and operate City Barbeque, a restaurant and catering company.

Rick, a graduate of Kansas State University, says he has always had an entrepreneurial mind. He invested an

24

| December 2022

immense amount of time and energy into what his business is today. Prior to running City Barbeque, he was with John Deere as the director of dealer development and strategy for 10 years. He takes great pride in knowing that his leadership skills and personal development blossomed during his time as past national FFA president, and it is what pushed him to properly and effectively own and operate a company. For these reasons, he holds agricultural education and leadership opportunities near to his heart.

Bonnie, a graduate of the University of TennesseeKnoxville, was born and raised into a Hereford-loving family in Lafayette, Tenn. The Coley family operation was started in 1938 by her grandfather, V.H. Coley; her father, Dee Coley; and her uncle, Clyde Coley. While growing up, it didn’t take Bonnie long to fall in love with Hereford cattle herself, especially the junior program formerly known as the American Junior Hereford Association.

“After college, I went to work for the American-International Charolais Association as the head of their junior activities,” Bonnie says. “After six months in that

position, the junior activities position opened at the American Hereford Association, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work for the breed I love.”

Although she is no longer in that position, Bonnie’s passion for developing young leaders in the beef industry is strong.

When asked what receiving the award for Honorary Junior Members of the Year and coveted bronze bull meant to them, Rick said, “It is such a humbling honor to receive this award. Bonnie and I have the utmost respect and passion for the youth, and especially for the Hereford breed. For the both of us to be recognized as one of them is a moment I won’t soon forget.” Bonnie added, “We were not expecting that.

It was kind of a surprise when we got our name called. But like Rick said, it was such a humbling honor.”

Rick then teased, “Since Bonnie already has a bronze bull, this one is going to be mine.”

Both Rick and Bonnie are some of the most passionate individuals for youth in any industry and want kids to have the same opportunities they had while growing up. The best advice the couple has for young people is to always take advantage of what is presented to you because there is value in setting yourself up for success in the long run and building a foundation for your future.

The NJHA is beyond excited to bring the Faces of Leadership conference, funded by the ColeyMalir Leadership Endowment, to Columbus, Ohio, their home state, in July 2023. At the conference, junior members will be encouraged to “Prepare For Their Future.”

Tar Tut is the leadership chair on the NJHA board of directors.

Hereford Women

by Marlena Ballinger

Hereford Women Recognized at Annual Meeting

The National Hereford Women (NHW) held its annual meeting on Friday, Oct. 21, at the Kansas City Loews Hotel and Convention Center. The meeting included keynote speaker, Chelsea Good; the Hereford Woman of the Year award presentation; the nomination of three new board directors and well wishes for the three retiring board members.

Chelsea is an advocate for the interests of livestock auctions in federal, state and industry policy.

She is the Livestock Marketing Association’s vice president of government and industry affairs and legal. Chelsea spoke on her journey towards this prominent position. Her speech gave attendees, both young and old, several key pieces of advice on how to achieve your dreams.

woman dedicated to her faith and family, was from McAlester, Okla.

She adored her Hereford family and served on the NHW board with love for others and a true dedication to youth.

This award could not have gone to a more deserving woman.

Curry’s family was in attendance to accept her award.

Meet the board

NHW welcomed three new board members: Brandi Murphree, Bellana Putz and Stephanie Murnin.

Brandi joins the NHW from Hamilton, Texas. Along with her husband, Jake, and their two sons, Zeb and Jace, she owns three small businesses and a ranch. The ranch consists of a commercial cow-calf operation and registered Herefords. Brandi’s family also owns a meat company.

Bellana is from Otley, Iowa. She is married to Don. With their three boys, the couple owns and operates Putz Cattle and Working Aussies.

Bellana has always been passionate about the Hereford breed and is proud of her boys who continue to compete in the VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo — showing cattle and participating in contests.

Stephanie lives in Musselshell, Mont., and along with her husband, she owns and operates Bar Star Cattle. The couple raises Hereford and commercial cattle in the Bull Mountains. Stephanie, a lifelong Hereford breeder, served on the National Junior Hereford Association board and reigned as the Ohio Polled Hereford Queen in 1999. Her children continue the tradition by showing Hereford cattle.

With the election of three new board members, NHW must say goodbye to three retiring members.

Betsy Pitstick, Nikki Rogers and Shannon Worrell were each presented a golden cow for their four years of

dedicated service. NHW is grateful for their passion and dedication to the Hereford breed.

Weekend festivities

On Saturday, the NHW board attended the American Royal Center for the annual Ladies of the Royal sale. NHW presented its Lot 2 in the sale, which was pick of either a hand-crafted rustic bench or a rare 19th century Zanzibar dowry chest. Pick of the bench or dowry chest sold for $11,000, with two partners doubling down and taking both items for $22,000. A huge thank you goes out to Kay Knight of Kay Knight Designs for designing an exquisite ruby Hereford pendent that was raffled off by NHW. Erin Lockhart of College Station, Texas, won the necklace.

On Sunday, NHW prepared a delicious Mexican fiesta breakfast prior to the National Hereford Queen coronation. This year’s crown went to Madison Katzenberger. Madison is from Monroe, Wis., and will represent the Hereford breed around the country. Along with her tiara, she won a $10,000 NHW scholarship.

First runner-up was Jalyn Davis from Maple Hill, Kan.; second runner-up was Elizabeth Crumm from Anadarko, Okla.; third runnerup was Kennedy Montag from Grimes, Iowa; and Miss Congeniality went to Jaclyn Aiken from Telford, Tenn. Congratulations, ladies, for your continued support to the breed and organization.

This year’s annual meeting was held in a different format — another example of innovation from NHW. Watch for bigger and better things to continue in 2023.

Hereford breeders celebrated a year of success and cheered historic opportunity at the 2022 Annual Membership Meeting and Conference.

A

merican Hereford Association (AHA) members, breeders from the United States and other countries, guests and supporters gathered in Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 21-23 for the AHA Annual Membership Meeting and Conference. The event highlighted individual and collective accomplishments, as well as emerging Hereford opportunities.

Nearly 500 members participated in educational forums at the Lowes Kansas City Hotel on Friday, Oct. 21.

Forum topics included an overview of the Association’s new five-year strategic plan, insights to ongoing AHA research, accelerated genetic improvement opportunities via genomics and advanced reproductive technology. Participants also heard about opportunities to grow demand

for Certified Hereford Beef®, the Genetic Merit Pricing Task Force to evaluate feeder cattle value and new ways to share the Hereford story.

National Junior Hereford Association members received scholarships and awards during an awards luncheon bookended by the educational forums.

During the Annual Membership Meeting Saturday morning, Hall of Merit and Hall of Fame inductees and Golden Breeders were honored for their achievements and contributions to the Hereford breed. The meeting concluded with the recognition of retiring Board members and the election of three new Board members.

New Board members are Jim Coley, Lafayette, Tenn.; Hampton Cornelius, LaSalle, Colo.; and Austin Snedden, Maricopa, Calif.

2022 ANNUAL MEETING AND CONVENTION COVERAGE

New AHA Board of Directors Elected

A

merican Hereford Association (AHA) delegates elected Jim Coley, Lafayette, Tenn.; Hampton Cornelius, LaSalle, Colo.; and Austin Snedden, Maricopa, Calif., to serve four-year terms on the 12-member AHA Board of Directors.

Bill Goehring, Libertyville, Iowa, was elected the 2023 AHA president, and Wyatt Agar, Thermopolis, Wyo., was elected vice president. Completing their terms on the AHA Board were outgoing president Bruce Everhart, Waldron, Ind.; Craig Beran, Claflin, Kan.; and Andrew Matheny, Mays Lick, Ky. 2023 AHA President

Bill Goehring and his family began in the Hereford business in 1973. Goehring Herefords’ registered cow herd consists of 150 spring-calving cows and 50 fallcalving cows. Their commercial Angus herd includes 400 spring-calving cows and heifers. The Goehrings breed 100 registered heifers every year as well as 450 black and black baldy heifers for their annual sale, held the first Wednesday in December. Additionally,

they background 800 to 1,000 steers and finish 500 head in custom yards.

Goehring grew up on a small farm in southeast Iowa. He graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in animal science and then attended the World Wide College of Auctioneering.

In August 1986, Bill’s family purchased a local livestock market in Keosauqua, Iowa.

At the time the market needed a lot of work, so their first priority was building a feeder pig sale. The sale grew quickly, and for more than 15 years, the Goehrings sold 1,000 to 2,000 pigs weekly. When the hog business consolidated, they began to push their cattle sale, and through relationships built in the feeder pig sale they were able to gain strength in the competitive cattle market. They now market 40,000 head of cattle annually in addition to hogs, sheep, goats and hay. As the sale grew, so did the Goehring family — Bill and his wife, Becky, have four sons: Curtis (Lauren), Lucas (Cody), Ted (Rachelle) and Colby (Hannah), and five granddaughters.

Growing up, Bill was very active in junior leadership. He held positions on the Iowa Junior Hereford Association board, where his parents served as

advisors for most of his junior career.

He also served on the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board of directors. Bill went on to serve on the Iowa Hereford Association board of directors and was president for two years. In 2013 and 2015, he had the honor of being asked to judge the national Hereford show in the yards at the National Western Stock Show.

Additionally, Bill is an active member of both the Iowa and the national Livestock Marketing Associations and served as the Iowa state president for two years. He has been a judge at the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship and has traveled to Washington, D.C., with the Livestock Marketing Association. He also serves on the Iowa Beef Council.

2023 AHA Vice President

Wyatt Agar, Thermopolis, Wyo., was selected to serve as the 2023 vice president. Raised on a multigenerational operation based in eastern Oregon, Wyatt Agar is a manager and a partner in Durbin Creek Ranch, Thermopolis,

At weaning, half of the heifers are retained for the cow herd while the other half are marketed as bred females. Bulls are sold as 2-year-olds in a February production sale, which also includes baldy replacement females and ranch geldings. Calves that do not make the bull pen are fed and used to collect sire-group data.

The commercial division runs approximately 1,200 Angus and Red Angus mother cows that are exposed to Hereford bulls to produce firstgeneration (F1) calves. The program collects data from birth to harvest on sires used in the seedstock division.

At weaning, females are sold in the February production sale. Light steers go to the operation’s stocker program in Oregon, and heavy steers are backgrounded at Washakie Feeders along with 5,000 to 6,000 calves from the ranch’s bull customers. These steers are fed to 900 pounds and finished in Colorado.

Wyatt and his brother grew up on the family’s cow-calf and stocker operation in Oregon, which they later expanded to include the Wyoming divisions. Wyatt and his wife, Joey, strive to raise their children, Rylee, Taylor and Cooper, in the same manner — working side-by-side with family to produce high-quality beef cattle off the land and backed by the cowboy ethic.

As a junior, Wyatt was the vice president of the Oregon Junior Hereford Association. Wyatt served as a senator in Wyoming’s Senate District 20 and was the first freshman senator in the state’s history to serve on the Appropriation Committee and the Select Capital Finance Committee.

Prior to his time in the state senate, Wyatt served a term as the vice chairman and a term as secretary of the Hot Springs County Republican Party.

Wyatt is a former vice chairman of the Transportation Committee, a board member of the Hot Springs County Weed and Pest, and a deacon at the First Baptist Church of Thermopolis.

New directors

Jim Coley is a thirdgeneration Hereford breeder from Lafayette, Tenn. Jim and his wife, Kay, married in 1980. They have two adult children, Denise and Michael, and four grandchildren.

Coley Hereford Farm began with Jim’s grandfather, dad and uncle as V.H. Coley and Sons in 1938. They had successful production sales from 1952 through 1978 before dispersing the original herd in 1978 after Jim’s father passed away.

Jim started his own herd of Hereford cattle after college graduation in 1976.

As a youth, Jim was active in the Tennessee Junior Hereford Association and 4-H. He assisted with all aspects of the farm. While attending the University of Tennessee, Jim was active in clubs, worked on the university’s cattle farm and participated on the livestock and meats judging teams. Jim served on the NJHA board from 1973-1976. After graduating with an animal science degree, Jim spent nine years working as a farm manager for farms in Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia. In 1985, he moved back to Tennessee and began a 30-year career working in sales and management at farmers co-ops. He retired in 2017 and works full-time on his cattle operation.

Jim has been active in Cattlemen’s Association boards in several counties.

He has been active in the Tennessee Hereford Association, serving as president and on the Tennessee Beef Agribition (TBA) committee. He also managed the TBA Hereford sale.

In 2014, he served on the merger committee joining the Tennessee Hereford Association and the Tennessee Polled Hereford Association. In 2003, Jim and his family donated the first heifer sold to support the Hereford Youth Foundation of America. That heifer raised more than $30,000.

Additionally, Jim was recognized as a Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) Gold Hereford Breeder by the AHA in 2022.

In 2017, Jim moved his cattle back to the “home place” just east of Lafayette, Tenn. Today, his herd includes 50 cows, mostly Line 1, both polled

and horned, in addition to five to 10 contract ET calves. Coley Hereford Farm produces commercial bulls, bred heifer replacements and bulls for use in their own and other seedstock operations. Jim maintains complete performance records and uses genomic testing. The calves not sold for breeding are fed and sold directly to consumers as freezer beef.

Hampton Cornelius is a family partner, along with his mother, Jane Evans Cornelius, of Coyote Ridge Ranch in LaSalle, Colo. He has been married to his wife, Kay, for 29 years, and they have a 22-year-old son, John Hampton. Coyote Ridge Ranch (CRR) is a purebred Hereford cattle ranch with an extensive hay operation located on the northern High Plains near the Rocky Mountains. They develop Hereford bulls suitable for commercial and seedstock customers. They run 170 registered Hereford pairs with their noted CRR cow families serving as the hallmark of their operation. The ranch also markets embryos, high-quality show heifers and purebred replacement females. CRR produces balanced genetics — maternally efficient, functional, high-quality females, which produce quality replacements and marketable steers with highly accepted carcass traits. This is done through balanced trait selection — utilizing performance records and expected progeny differences (EPDs).

Bulls are genomically tested, and yearlings are ultrasounded for carcass measurements. CRR has retained ownership on all steers for three decades. CRR has provided the AHA with 30 years of carcass performance data on their steers, and they have been recognized as a Gold TPR Breeder.

Hampton’s cattle have topped national Hereford shows, and he is proud that the CRR National Western Stock Show pen show entries have been purchased by fellow Hereford breeders across the country. Hampton was active in the NJHA, 4-H and FFA as a youth. He attended Northeastern Junior College and Colorado State University (CSU) and judged livestock at both. At CSU, Hampton received the Tom Blackburn December 2022 |

Hall of Fame, Merit Inductees Honored HALL OF MERIT

D

on Birk, El Dorado Springs, Mo., and Dale Stith, Mays Lick, Ky., were honored by the American Hereford Association (AHA) as the newest members of the Hereford Hall of Merit. This prestigious award recognizes those who have played an integral role shaping the Hereford breed and cattle industry.

Don Birk

Don grew up in southeast Missouri on a diversified farming operation. His family grew crops and Hereford cattle, and they exhibited at local livestock shows.

Don graduated from high school in 1965 and attended Southeast Missouri State University for three years, before transferring to the University of Missouri (Mizzou) in 1968. It was at Mizzou that Don joined the livestock judging team and met then livestock judging coach Glenn Richardson. Before he graduated from Mizzou in 1970, Don had developed a close relationship with Glenn.

In 1971, Don received a lifechanging call from Glenn, offering the opportunity to return to Mizzou as a graduate assistant coaching the livestock judging team. When Glenn switched jobs about a month into Don’s tenure, Don took over Glenn’s students and coached the Mizzou livestock judging team to a national championship in 1971. Upon finishing his time at Mizzou, Don joined the Drovers Journal in 1972 as a fieldman and worked with the publication for six years. While working for the Drovers Journal, Don gathered experience selling advertising and working livestock sales. In April 1973, Don and his wife, Linda, were married.

Don then joined Eddie Sims with National Cattle Services Inc. to provide ring service, marketing and photography. Don developed his photography skills at National Cattle Services, and he stayed with the company until 1982, when he started his own business, Birk Enterprises. As sale books have gone from printing in black and white to color and live auctions have transitioned to online sales, Don has been there through it all.

A pioneer in the livestock photography industry, Don worked with Hereford breeders exclusively until the late ’90s, when he began marketing cattle of all breeds. Don has spent many years working with breeders from across the U.S, providing ring service and picturing cattle. Some of Don’s first clients were Glenkirk Farms, Maysville, Mo.; ACE Polled Herefords, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.; Mohican Farms, Glenmont, Ohio; and Beartooth Ranch, Columbus, Mont.

Since getting that call from Glenn to return to Mizzou, Don’s career has spanned 51 years. While Don enjoys the cattle, he is especially passionate about the breeders, ranchers and business owners he’s been able to meet.

Dale Stith

Dale took an interest in cattle at a very early age under the tutelage of his father, Ralph, who was an accomplished herdsman who managed the 250 polled Hereford cows on their farm in Stith Valley, Ky. Dale attended cattle shows and sales with his father beginning at the age of 6.

His early interest in the cattle business sparked a lifelong, passionate career in the Hereford breed.

Dale would work long hours on the family farm, and then groom a show string of cattle. He would load his string into a gooseneck trailer and show across the state of Kentucky. He showed at as many as 14 county fairs each summer, as well as the Kentucky State Fair, where he won many awards. Dale and his father had a keen eye for evaluating and selecting top genetics in the Hereford breed.

Don Birk was inducted in the Hereford Hall of Merit. Pictured (l to r) are: Jerome Ollerich, AHA Board member; Don Birk; Linda Birk; Chance Mays and Bill Goehring, AHA Board president.

Dale Stith was inducted into the Hereford Hall of Merit. Pictured (l to r) are: Jerome Ollerich, Dale Stith, Elizabeth Aldridge, Nathan Stith, Bo Brault, Jade Redden, Maggie Stith, Glenn Stith and Bill Goehring.

Dale is the oldest of three children.

He graduated from Meade County High School in 1970, where he was president of the Meade County FFA chapter. He was later elected Kentucky State FFA President.

Dale attended the University of Kentucky, where he was president of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, active in the Block and Bridle Club and a member of the Omicron Delta Kappa senior honorary fraternity. He graduated with bachelor’s degrees in animal science and agricultural education in 1974.

Upon graduation, Dale returned to the farm where he continued building the family’s purebred Hereford herd.

However, he was eager to expand his horizons beyond his family’s herd.

Dale is a master marketer and has been a passionate promoter of the Hereford breed for most of his life.

Dale’s original post-graduation plan was to teach high school agriculture classes. However, when one of Dale’s mentors, A.W. “Ham” Hamilton, was preparing to retire, he encouraged Dale to attend auctioneer school.

The class was two weeks long and Dale graduated in January 1975.

He auctioneered for the first time at the Kentucky Hereford Association’s

Hereford.org

annual meeting, selling directory advertisements. In the years following, Dale spent his time selecting cattle, auctioning cattle, photographing cattle and assisting breeders. His loyalty to the Hereford breed, cattle marketing skills and cow sense would propel him to become one of the preeminent auctioneers in North America.

Dale has three children and seven grandchildren.

He currently resides on a 50-acre farm in Mays Lick, Ky., with his partner, lover and friend, Elizabeth. Dale is involved in his community and was a magistrate on Meade County’s fiscal court. He also served many years as the Meade County Fair board manager.

Dale has worked with Hereford breeders big and small from coast to coast and all across Canada. He is a mentor and friend to many and has an unmatched passion for Hereford cattle.

HALL OF FAME Odell Gelvin, Fairland, Okla.; Bill King, Moriarty, N.M.; and Loyd Whitehead, San Angelo, Texas, were inducted into the Hereford Hall

of Fame during the AHA Annual Membership Meeting and Conference.

The Hall of Fame award is presented annually and recognizes dynamic breeders who have improved the Hereford breed.

Odell Gelvin

Odell Gelvin has spent a lifetime in the Hereford breed, beginning when he was 12 years old working on the W.E. Harvey Ranch in Ada, Okla., before and after school. After his father’s death, he moved and began caring for the commercial herd and working in the show barn at the Colvert Ranch in Millcreek, Okla. Then, Odell worked in the Gus Delaney Ranch show barn in Ada until 1945, when he enlisted in the Navy.

After his military service, Odell returned to Oklahoma and married his high school sweetheart, Kate. Odell and Kate have three children: Ron, Linda and Susie.

Odell went on to work for Edg-Clif Farms in Potosi, Mo., and Banning and Lewis in Colorado Springs, Colo. Following his work in Missouri and Colorado, he became the herdsman for Northern Pump Farms in McHenry, Ill., one of the largest Hereford breeders at the time. During his tenure at Northern Pump Farms, few herds were more competitive at national shows.

2022 ANNUAL MEETING AND CONVENTION COVERAGE

Traveling the country via railcar, Odell fit and showed numerous champions, including the grand champion Hereford bull at the World Hereford Conference in Des Moines, Iowa. For years, through Odell’s skill as a fitter and showman, Northern Pump Farms attained success in the carload shows at the National Western Stock Show. Showing a carload consisting of 12 to 15 head was no small feat, and in 1961, Odell was selected as the Herdsman of the Year.

In the mid-1960s, Odell accepted a manager position with Ogeechee Farms in Fairland, Okla. Under his direction, Ogeechee Farms’ performance polled Hereford herd became a national leader. Odell was also instrumental in helping establish the Oklahoma Beef Testing Station in Stillwater, Okla.

The center had a large impact on the Hereford breed, providing data on different sires.

During the 20 years he managed Ogeechee Farms, Odell bred, fit and showed both the grand champion carload of bulls and the grand champion Hereford bull in the same year. He also won the premier exhibitor award at the National Polled Hereford Show.

Outside of his work as a herdsman, Odell judged livestock

shows. Over two decades, Odell judged national Hereford shows across the U.S. and in Argentina and Venezuela.

Odell served on the American Polled Hereford Association Board of Directors and the Oklahoma Polled Hereford Association board of directors. He also served on the First Bank of Fairland board for many years.

Odell’s passion for the Hereford breed runs deep, and his impact will be felt for many generations.

Bill King

Bill King started his Hereford herd as a high schooler in 1968 with the purchase of three heifers from Marshall Sellman. After graduation Bill attended New Mexico State University. Bill then returned to the family ranch, where he began buying feeder cattle and selling fat cattle for his family’s 16,000-head feedlot. Bill has three daughters: Becky and her husband, Tom; Jenny and her husband, Josh; Stacy and her husband, Anthony; and six grandchildren: Jordan, Abby, Cash, Charli, Hayden and Lincoln.

For more than 100 years, the King family has been ranching in Moriarty, N.M. King Ranch is a diversified operation consisting of 30,000 acres of pasture, 4,000 acres of farmland

and about 1,200 registered Hereford, Charolais and Angus cows, along with 300 commercial cows. The ranch sells more than 350 bulls a year to mostly commercial producers and buys back customer cattle for finishing in the familyowned feedlot. Bill was honored as the New Mexico Cattleman of the Year in 2010. His family was recognized as the New Mexico Ranch family of the year in 2015, and he was recognized as a Golden Breeder by the American Hereford Association in 2018.

Bill comes from a long line of public servants; Bill’s father was governor of New Mexico for three terms. Bill currently serves on the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) board of directors and the Hereford Legacy Fund board.

An advocate for the beef industry, Bill is a past president of the American Hereford Association, New Mexico Cattle Growers Association and New Mexico Livestock Board.

50-Year Hereford Breeders Celebrated

I

n celebration of 50 years in the Hereford business, four Hereford breeders were honored as Golden Breeders during the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting and Conference in Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 22, for their commitment to the breed.

Golden Breeders with 50 years of dedication to the Hereford breed are: Mill Creek Ranch, Alma, Kan.; K7 Herefords, Lockridge, Iowa; Reed Farms, Green Ridge, Mo.; and Snedden Ranch, Maricopa, Calif.

Mill Creek Ranch, Alma, Kan.

Mill Creek Ranch, owned by the David and Diane Breiner family, is located at the northern edge of the Flint Hills near Alma, Kan. Mill Creek Ranch purchased its first Hereford cattle during the spring of 1972. The budding herd featured Mark Donald, Line 1, Tiberius and Don Blanchard bloodlines.

In the late ’70s, David became the managing partner and owner. Over

the last half-century, an extensive AI and embryo transfer (ET) program was used to produce moderate birthweight, high performing seedstock with excellent carcass traits for registered and commercial producers.

K7 Herefords, Lockridge, Iowa

K7 Herefords started in 1968 as a 4-H project. K7 Herefords began in a small Wisconsin town, before moving to southeast Iowa, where carcass traits and customer needs are at the forefront of the herd focus. Today, K7 Herefords runs 100 cows and hosts a production sale every March. Run by Tom Heidt with the love and support from his wife, Jo, and their three children, K7 Herefords strives to keep up with the beef industry’s ever-changing wants and needs.

Reed Farms, Green Ridge, Mo.

The Reed Farms operation was started

by Jim Reed while he was in college in 1962. After Jim and his wife, Linda, married in 1965, they continued their

passion for the breed in Green Ridge, Mo. The family operation is now 60 years old. Jim and Linda have two sons, Brian and Craig. The Reeds spent a lifetime dedicating themselves to the Hereford breed. They have helped other breeders host successful Hereford sales and market their Hereford semen and certificates, all while raising polled Hereford cattle.

Snedden Ranch, Maricopa, Calif.

The Snedden family began ranching in Kern County, California, in 1867.

Snedden Ranch has been running a primarily Hereford-based commercial cow herd for more than 100 years. As progress was made in developing cattle, Snedden Ranch began to see demand from local producers for its bulls.

Snedden Ranch closed its herd almost 40 years ago to develop the desired quality and consistency. Today, Richard and Susie Snedden are partners with their son, Austin, and his wife, Sarah, in the ranch operation. Austin and Sarah’s four children are also part of the ranching operation.

K7 Herefords, Lockridge, Iowa, was honored as an AHA Golden Breeder.

National Hereford Woman of the Year: It’s Up to You Donna Curry recognized as the National Hereford Woman of the Year.

by Katie Maupin Miller

T

he people that leave the largest legacies often jump in with both feet, so to speak. That was certainly the case with Donna Curry of McAlester, Okla. Oklahoma Hereford Association president and dear friend, Rindy Bacon, recalls Donna doing just that — hopping the showring rail to join the adult showmanship class. Hair pulled into pig tails, jeans tucked haphazardly in muck boots and a plush cow tucked under one arm, Donna made quite the entrance that day. Peals of laughter followed her as she joined the more serious competitors with her stuffed entry to raise money for Oklahoma Herefords.

Even when she made subtler entrances, Donna was hardly missed in a room. Pure positivity and exuberance radiated from her. As Susan Gebhart says, “Donna was effervescent.”

“When she walked into a room, you instantly knew she was there. She was so outgoing and so positive. You never

saw her without a smile, and that smile was genuine,” Rindy says. “She was just happy to see you and happy to be there.”

Susan says her nearly radical positivity was built through her deep faith. At her core, Donna always had faith that everything would work out for the best.

Yet, that didn’t stop her from doing everything she could to help the higher power make this world a better place.

As Donna often said, “Make it a great day, or not. That choice is yours.” As expected, she always chose the former.

Sadly, Donna passed unexpectedly in June 2022. Her saying is now printed on shirts worn by young people whose lives she impacted across Oklahoma, and there is a lot of them. Although Donna has roots in the Hereford breed, her service wasn’t limited to bald-faced enthusiasts. She counseled young people through her role at Frink-Chambers School, guided 4-H members as a state and nationally recognized leader and

even found ways to help less fortunate youth in her hometown. Her legacy of service and giving continues inside the Hereford breed and out. This winter, Donna’s past student and 4-H member, will once again collect new socks, undergarments, pajamas, hats and gloves for children in need for his service 4-H project, which she encouraged him to start.

Within Hereford circles, Donna was well known for her involvement on the state and national levels. She served on the National Hereford Women’s (NHW) board when the previous women’s organizations merged, helping create a unified foundation for today’s leaders.

“She stepped up, and she did whatever it took to support the Association, its juniors and the National Hereford Women,” says Kathy Buchholz, GKB Cattle.

Donna’s leadership was often by example. If she committed to helping, you could consider it done. She never shied away from rolling up her sleeves and was known for her fundraising prowess for causes she believed in.

“She was the epitome of somebody that just believed in people and wanted to build people up,” says Shannon Worrell, NHW ex officio. “If there was a need, Donna would help figure it out.

If you had a dream, Donna was the person to help you find a way.”

Donna was often found in the barn at Hereford shows and sales, supporting her family and their operation, Curry Herefords. Donna and her husband of more than 30 years, Curtis, raised their children, Cameron and Staci, in the industry. And seldom was she seen recently without one of her three grandchildren — Maddix and Hereford.org

Maisyn Thomsen, and Eliza Curry — on her hip. She was the quintessential Hereford show mom. She cared deeply for her family. They worked together to care for their cattle, and the Curry family always had faith that the Lord would care for them.

“Live each day to the fullest is what she’d tell you to do,” Rindy says. “God first, family and then those cattle.”

Donna was chosen for the National Hereford Woman of the Year as she spent many years modeling the traits the organization strives to uphold — an open heart, an open mind and a passion to succeed.

“Donna was a long-time friend and fellow Oklahoma Hereford mom. We spent many a day on the barn aisle at state and national shows where Donna was always the embodiment of a kind, caring, friendly, hard-working and enthusiastic Hereford woman. In short, everything NHW honors with this award. She was quick to support junior programs in general and individual

— Susan Gebhart junior members who needed guidance, a helping hand or a pat on the back,” penned Susan in her letter nominating Donna for the award.

Donna’s legacy will not only live on through the countless lives she touched through her tireless service, but also through the Donna Curry

Memorial Scholarship Endowment with the Hereford Youth Foundation of America. More than $100,000 was raised in an online auction held July 19 to support the cause. As NHW president-elect Sally Wingler notes, Donna’s unwavering support for the industry’s young people and her passion for the junior program are core parts of NHW’s mission, and she’s confident Donna will be proud to see women continue to support young people. To contribute to Donna’s legacy and support the industry’s young people through this endowment, visit: HerefordYouthFoundation.org/how-togive/give-now/.

“Donna’s contagious smile, laugh and loving heart will be missed for years to come,” says Amy Cowan, American Hereford Association director of youth activities and foundation.

“Her dedication to the youth was unmatched, and she has left an impact that will last for generations.”

KA-CHING.

MORE POUNDS. MORE CALVES. MORE PROFIT. Hereford bulls increase net profit by $51 per cow per year.

That’s $20,000 in additional revenue for a typical 400-cow outfit, thanks to increased fertility and herd size.

Herefords are also the efficiency experts, proven to add value to calves in the feedyard — $30 per head in profitability.

That’s real money and real results.

Fed Steer Shootout Winners Announced

N

ow in its sixth year, the National Junior Hereford Association’s (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout (FSS) contest enables juniors to learn about the opportunities and challenges of the cattle feeding industry, as they collect feedlot and carcass data on their entries.

In the 2022 contest, 75 members from 17 states entered 200 steers. This year’s winners received $15,000 in scholarships and awards from the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) on Oct. 21 at the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting and Conference in Kansas City, Mo. All steers were fed at HRC Feed Yards, Scott City, Kan. A generous sponsorship from Texas Stardance Cattle, Hamilton, Texas, was used to defray freight costs for participants. Steers were harvested at National Beef Packing Co. in Dodge City, Kan. FSS entries were candidates for the Certified Hereford Beef® program. Industry partners — Merck Animal Health, Allflex Livestock Intelligence and NEOGEN — played a vital role in the success of the program.

Cargill Inc. and Bar One Ranch, Eugene, Ore., were key contributors to the educational program.

Contestants entered performance portfolios from data reports they received throughout the feeding period and answered questions summarizing what they learned while participating in the program. The top three contestants, in both the junior and senior divisions, were selected from the submitted portfolios and had the opportunity to compete for

the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout Contestant of the Year title. The selected contestants presented a short speech to judges on Oct. 20, followed by a panel interview describing what they had learned during the contest.

After completing their performance portfolios and a rigorous interview and presentation process, Jarrett Worrell, Mason, Texas, was named the Contestant of the Year in the junior division, and Kendall Boatman, Rockford, Ill., earned the Contestant of the Year title in the senior division.

Earning Opportunity Educational forums highlight Hereford’s bright future.

H

ereford genetics are enviably positioned to grow market share during a unique time in U.S. beef industry history.

That common thread was woven through many of the educational forums during the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting and Conference held in October in Kansas City, Mo. When the current drought ends, producers will likely expand the national beef cow herd by at least the 2.5 million cows liquidated since 2019. These additional cows will require approximately 83,000 bulls.

Static to declining metrics associated with profitable commercial cowcalf production support the industry building back with increased heterosis.

Deliberate, strategic genetic improvement during the last two decades earned Hereford the opportunity to provide the industry with more heterosis and production efficiency.

Exploiting the opportunity

“At the end of the day, strategy is about earning the right to win ... We don’t get it, we aren’t given it, we earn it through our blood sweat and tears,” explained Kevin Ochsner, president of Agcellerate. He led participants through the development of AHA’s new five-year strategic plan, which he helped facilitate, along with Tom Field, director of the Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program at the University of Nebraska.

You can find the AHA Strategic Plan at Hereford.org/strategic-plan.

Ochsner framed the introduction of the strategic plan with key issues and trends the AHA Board of Directors considered. They include: • Increased supply chain integration and coordination. There will be more people developing and

52

| December 2022

breeding cattle for specific markets and systems.

• Increased investor, governmental and consumer focus on sustainability.

• Continued growth in demand for high-quality beef.

• Growing importance for data and information to document how cattle are bred, managed and valued.

• Continued consolidation in the cow-calf sector.

• Revolutionary advances in genomics, gene editing and reproductive technologies.

• Growing relevance of the U.S. dairy herd.

• Increasing demand among commercial cattlemen for services and support beyond high-quality genetics.

• Growing industry-wide recognition of some of the risks and limitations of straightbred cattle.

These issues and trends led to critical assumptions, including: • Demand for heterosis will increase.

• Optimums will be more important than maximums.

• Research will be critical to document and substantiate claims.

• Beef quality will continue to improve.

Leading in efficiency and sustainability

“Document, communicate and improve Hereford’s sustainability story,” is one of five core strategies in the plan. Shane Bedwell, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement,

joined Kin Stackhouse-Lawson, director of AgNext at Colorado State University (CSU), to share current AHA research and its value to the breed, as well as the broader U.S. beef industry.

Bedwell explained ongoing AHA research efforts to document the breed’s inherent genetic efficiency advantages and their magnification through direct and maternal heterosis. He also highlighted the recent initiation of a collaborative research project with CSU to enhance the understanding of the genetic differences in seedstock relative to enteric methane production and nitrogen excretion, a byproduct of rumen fermentation.

While sustainability is multifaceted, Stackhouse-Lawson emphasized greenhouse gas emissions and their role in global warming are currently the primary focus of consumers, lenders and investors.

Relative to the carbon footprint of cattle, Stackhouse-Lawson explained, “I believe the biggest potential is in selecting the low methane producing cow. Why do I think that? Because when we put cattle on feed, on the same diet, there is a 10-15% difference in methane emissions. So, I think it is the long-term play. But we have to make sure you remain profitable in every other trait. We cannot give to get in the methane space …

“I’m proud that you have taken a leadership role. I think this is an incredible opportunity to own the space and frankly to help this broader industry in a big, big way.”

How Lucky Am I Lauren Gatz reflects on her year of serving as the 2022 National Hereford Queen.

I

t is hard to find the words to truly express what an absolute honor it has been to serve the Hereford breed as the National Hereford Queen. Because I grew up in the breed, my passion for our industry started at a young age. Early on, one of my goals was to serve as the National Hereford Queen.

That dream becoming reality has been surreal. Looking back, I didn’t realize the tremendous impact running for and serving as the National Hereford Queen would have on me and how it would fuel my growth and passion for the breed.

Many of you probably saw the pictures posted on social media, watched it live or viewed the video of my coronation last year. As soon as I heard my name, I burst into tears. At first, these were my least favorite pictures because of how unflattering I thought they looked. But looking back, they are my favorite pictures from that day because they depict the true, raw emotion I was feeling. Little did I know at that moment how truly amazing the year ahead of me would be and how much I would learn.

Running for and serving as the National Hereford Queen has been a phenomenal season of growth for me. I grew my

knowledge of the breed, self-confidence and connections with Hereford youth and breeders from across the country.

As I approached the American Royal and the end of my reign as the National Hereford Queen, I had an interview with former Oklahoma Hereford Queen, Karstyn Cantrell, for a class project. I

shared with her my experiences serving as queen, my passion for our breed and what the future looks like for me. Throughout my conversation with Karstyn, I realized how incredibly blessed I was to serve our Association in this capacity.

I am sure many of you have heard the saying, “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” I had many people ask me how I was feeling approaching the end of my journey as the National Hereford Queen. While I am sad that it is over, I have learned so much that I know I will take with me for the rest of my life. This is not the end of my story as an advocate for our breed. I am excited to continue my involvement with an even broader perspective of all that the Hereford breed has to offer.

One of my goals after being crowned was to take every opportunity I was given. During my reign, I was blessed with the opportunity to travel to numerous national shows and see more of our industry. At each event, I was able to connect with fellow Hereford breeders from across the country, and I gained an even deeper understanding of what makes our breed so special. Serving as a role model and advocating for our breed this past year has fueled my passion for the breed and solidified my belief that not only do we raise the best cattle, but we also have the best people.

In conclusion, I want to thank the National Hereford Women and the American Hereford Association for supporting the National Hereford Queen program and making this opportunity possible. I would also like to thank my family and everyone else along the way who supported me throughout this journey. I am excited to continue my involvement in the breed, and I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to serve as the 2022 National Hereford Queen.

2022 ANNUAL MEETING AND CONVENTION COVERAGE

2023 National Hereford Queen: Joyful Servant National Hereford Queen Madison Katzenberger is an eager advocate for the breed.

M

adison Katzenberger’s heart was racing as she was crowned the 2023 National Hereford Queen during the American Royal in Kansas City, Mo. It seemed almost like the Monroe, Wis., native was dreaming. Everything was a blur, from the crowd gathered ringside, to her mother’s happy tears, but one thing was perfectly clear — the joy.

“I was just so full of joy that I achieved my goal and that I was able to make my dream a reality,” Madison says.

Her dream to be named the National Hereford Queen revolved around the role’s responsibility to be a representative of the Hereford breed — a breed Madison has loved her entire life. She is excited to attend shows, sales and events on behalf of Hereford breeders, and share her story with cattlemen and women throughout the country.

“I pursued the title of National Hereford Queen because I wanted to promote a breed that I am passionate about and make sure others understand why Herefords are rising in their popularity from a quality standpoint,” Madison says. “I want to use my crown and my voice to show other producers what we Hereford breeders already know about our cattle.”

Age: 22

Success; volunteer manager for the Pioneer Baseball team; and an advocate for the beef industry who shared stories about raising cattle with her fellow students. Outside of her college activities, Madison volunteers for her church, where she plays special music during services, sews banners for the sanctuary and is involved with Faith Stitchers, which sews projects for people in her church and community.

Extracurricular activities and hobbies: On campus, Madison was involved with UWP Block and Bridle Club, where she served as the president, beef show chair and public relations chair; a collegiate honor society called National Society of Leadership and

National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) membership: 16 years — Through those years, Madison attended the VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) several times, participated in contests and served as a delegate. Most importantly, she enjoyed meeting many other young people interested in the breed.

“I have enjoyed getting to know so many different people and hearing the impact the Hereford breed has had on their lives,” she says. “I am honored to call so many of those people my friends.”

Family history in the Hereford business: Madison is a third-generation Hereford breeder. Her family’s registered Hereford operation started with her Grandpa Katzenberger in Loran, Ill. He purchased Hereford heifers and steers for Madison’s dad, aunt and uncle to show at the county fair. Madison’s father carried on the tradition. “My dad raised my siblings and me in the Hereford breed, and we have been involved ever since,” Madison says.

Hereford.org

Her family first attended JNHE in 2005 in Milwaukee, Wis., and Madison’s involvement with the baldfaced breed has only grown through the years. She plans to have her own Hereford herd in the future.

in life,” she says. “Growing up in the agriculture industry, we have God to thank for everything He’s done for us, and the Hereford breeders do a really good job of that.

Herefords are very gentle and easy to work with; they are phenomenal mothers with high quality milking abilities. They also gain more on less feed, so they are a money saver, and most importantly, no two Herefords look the same.”

Titles prior to National Hereford Queen: Wisconsin Hereford Queen, Wisconsin Hereford Princess and Green County Beef Queen When did your sights become set on the crown? When Madison was 8 years old, her dad took her to the Star Lake Cattle Ranch Junior Futurity show and sale in Skiatook, Okla. Lindsay Bielema, who was then the National Hereford Queen, asked to sit next to Madison at dinner. “I was awestruck and speechless. It was in that moment I knew I wanted to be the National Queen,” Madison recalls.

Who inspired you to run for National Hereford Queen? Madison’s family has always been her No. 1 supporter in everything she does, but she also owes a lot of credit to 2018 National Hereford Queen, Abbygail Pitstick. “I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with her about her experience at the Cattlemen’s Congress, and she was super encouraging and told me to, ‘Just go for it,’” recalls Madison. “A few weeks after that I was crowned the Wisconsin Hereford Queen at our annual meeting and the rest is history.”

Madison’s ultimate inspiration, though, is junior members.

“I want to be an inspiration to them, just as those before me have been an inspiration for me,” she says.

What advice do you have for future princesses running for the National Hereford Queen title? Get involved — while Madison studied for her test and interviews, enjoying the NJHA activities and meeting new people helped her prepare most for the role.

“Having knowledge is important but being able to build relationships with people and getting to know them as more than just a Hereford breeder from a random state is what will really set you apart,” she says.

Hereford.org

What are your goals as the new National Hereford Queen? Madison hopes to help strengthen the Certified Hereford Beef® program and promote Hereford-influenced genetics on commercial and dairy operations.

What makes the Hereford breed special to you? Madison has a lifelong passion for Hereford cattle, and she is excited to share her Hereford story with others.

“The Hereford breed is special to me because it represents everything I value

Describe your experience running for National Hereford Queen: Madison says her experience running for National Hereford Queen was the best she’s ever had. “I was able to meet so many different people from all over the country, immerse myself in the Hereford breed and its history, and get to know an elite group of girls from their respective states,” she says. “Once I was crowned Wisconsin Hereford Queen and announced my candidacy for National Hereford Queen, I was greeted with so many kind words from family, friends and even people I had just met. It was so humbling to hear of the impact I’ve had on someone.”

Five state queens competed for the crown. Pictured (l to r) are: Madison Katzenberger, 2023 National Hereford Queen; Jaclyn Aiken, Miss Congeniality; Lauren Gatz, 2022 National Hereford Queen; Elizabeth Crumm, second runner-up; Jalyn Davis, first runner-up; and Kennedy Montag, third runner-up.

Thank you to this year’s Hereford Herdsman selection committee: Bobby Singleton, chairman; Robyn Samsel, Barber Ranch; Alyssa Copeland, Copeland and Sons Herefords; and Jacob Wolfrey, Grimmel Girls Show Cattle.

This year’s nominees are Breck Debnam, Ty Krebs, Kyle Lemmon, Richie Oakes and Garrett Post.

Breck Debnam

Innisfail Farm Breck Debnam started his career as herdsman at Innisfail Farm in Madison, Ga., in 2018. Innisfail Farm runs 150 registered cows along with an aggressive embryo transfer program. In 2021, with Breck’s help, Innisfail began a female production sale in conjunction with Mead Cattle. They also market 50 bulls a year through ‘The Source’ bull sale and private treaty.

72

| December 2022

Breck attended Black Hawk East College and Western Illinois University, where he was a member of the livestock judging teams at both institutions. During his time in college, he spent a considerable amount of time at Lowderman Cattle Co. and was blessed with some great mentors in the cattle industry.

Breck takes care of the day-to-day operations at Innisfail: show and sale cattle management, chores and rotational grazing, as well as AI and calving. The operation is implementing a C-Lock system this year, which will add Dry Matter Intake to the list of the many data points they measure throughout the year.

Under Breck’s management, Innisfail has campaigned champion females at the Southeast Regional, Georgia National and Dixie National shows. In 2020, they had the high-selling bull in the Mile High Night Sale. In 2021, the operation had the southeast region horned show heifer of the year. Breck has also had the opportunity to judge many state and regional shows the past few years.

In the coming years, Breck hopes to continue to be more involved in customer relations and service, including assisting in show cattle fitting and nutrition, helping bull buyers market their feeder cattle and make educated, data-driven decisions to turn their programs in a more profitable direction.

Hereford.org

Ty Krebs

Krebs Ranch and Krebs Cattle Co. Ty Krebs, Gordon, Neb., oversees all aspects of his cattle operations — Krebs Ranch and Krebs Cattle Co. — with his wife, Kaleigh, and his children, Sage, Kynsleigh and Kashlyn.

The family runs approximately 700 registered cows and markets bulls through their annual bull sales each February and November.

They also market cattle and frozen genetics in other regional and national sales. His children attend 12 to 15 shows annually.

Ty judged livestock in junior college before transferring to Oklahoma State University, where he worked in the Purebred Beef Unit with show and sale cattle and on the range with the cowherd overseen by Cindy Pribil and Joel Birdwell.

While in college, he was able to get experience working at national shows and sales.

Ty’s children reintroduced Hereford cattle to the Krebs family’s operation. The first Hereford cattle were run by Ty’s great-grandfather. Ty and his family purchased Hereford females in 2011. Since then, the family has continued to acquire top females from around the country.

He considers himself fortunate to help his kids earn several regional and national championships over the years.

Ty hopes to leave the operations and the breed in better position for the next generation to be successful and enjoy.

Kyle Lemmon

Lemmon Cattle Company Kyle Lemmon, Manchester, Md., owns and operates Lemmon Cattle Co. alongside his wife, Nicole, daughter, Blakely, and son, Kashton. Kyle’s passion for the Hereford breed began at 9 years old; since then, he has focused on raising high-quality cattle.

He believes the Hereford industry has incredible value and is honored to be a part of the breed. He spends countless hours in the barn, raising and managing his herd and completing day-to-day operations. Over the last decade he has devoted considerable time to studying genetics and matings to breed elite females and influential bulls.

Kyle has been successful at some of the largest national shows, including the National Western Stock Show (NWSS), North American International Livestock Expo (NAILE), Keystone International Livestock Expo (KILE) and VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), along with exhibiting previous show heifers and show bulls of the year.

Kyle and his family bred and exhibited the 2022 KILE third overall bull and champion Hereford bull, along with the 2022 Maryland State Fair supreme champion bull and champion Hereford bull. Additionally, Kyle was named the 2022 premier breeder at the KILE and Maryland State Fair. Lemmon Cattle Co. had numerous division champions in 2022 at the JNHE, American Royal and KILE. Additional highlights include the 2019 NAILE reserve champion Hereford bull and the 2019 KILE reserve champion bull. He also bred the 2020 NWSS reserve champion polled Hereford female.

Hereford.org

Kyle’s work ethic, respect, integrity and accountability are second-to-none. He ensures his customers have the best experience in the showring and provides them with great genetics to make exceptional breeding pieces. Kyle is humbled to be nominated for Hereford Herdsman of the Year.

Richie Oakes

Vanderwork Herefords Richie Oakes, Taloga, Okla., owns and manages Vanderwork Herefords with his wife, Marylu, and brotherin-law, Scotty. Richie oversees sire selection and AI, and he also manages the show string. Previously, he and Marylu ran a cattle fitting service and exhibited cattle nationwide.

Richie graduated from the agricultural education program at Oklahoma State University, where he was a member of the livestock judging team. As a former agriculture teacher in Yukon and Clinton, Okla., Richie has always had a passion for preparing cattle for the showring and youth for life. Richie also involves himself with many aspects of national and Oklahoma cattle shows. For the last 21 years, Richie has been the beef superintendent for the Oklahoma Youth Expo (OYE). He has also served as a general livestock superintendent for the Oklahoma State Fair and Cattlemen’s Congress.

Richie is a two-time past president of the Oklahoma Hereford Association (OHA). He has raised and exhibited several national show winners along with the national show bull of the year, and he was named the OHA breeder of the year twice. Richie was also named an OYE show honoree by the Sirloin Club of Oklahoma and is a past president of the Oklahoma Angus Association. Richie has also judged numerous national shows.

He hopes to keep building, fitting and grooming better cattle each year.

Garrett Post

Hawk Livestock Garrett Post, Shabbona, Ill., grew up showing Hereford cattle. He graduated from Black Hawk East College with his associate degree before transferring to Oklahoma State University and graduating in 2018 with a degree in animal science. Garrett began working at DelHawk Cattle Co. in 2010 and became a fulltime employee in 2018 after graduating from college. When DelHawk Cattle Co. transitioned to Hawk Livestock in the summer of 2019, Garrett continued his work with the operation. Garrett currently assists with the day-to-day operations at Hawk Livestock, and he works with the show and sale cattle. Recently, Hawk Livestock raised the grand champion polled and horned females at the 2022 JNHE. Hawk Livestock utilizes embryo transfer and In-Vitro Fertilization programs extensively. Garrett enjoys watching and learning from the many talented people in the Hereford breed. He loves working with current and new Hawk Livestock customers of all ages.

Partners in Genetic Improvement Reflecting on the NEOGEN and AHA partnership.

by Jamie Courter

I

n July of 2020, NEOGEN Genomics and the American Hereford Association (AHA) launched an educational partnership to help AHA members make the most effective use of genomic tools available to them.

Since then, technical experts at NEOGEN have worked alongside AHA staff to provide breeders with educational content in articles, webinars and event presentations about the importance of genomic technology as an additional tool to increase the genetic potential of animals. These efforts include opportunities for National Junior Hereford Association members through complimentary DNA sampling during the VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo and the Fed Steer Shootout.

Making improvements

In the final issue of this year’s Hereford World, it seems fitting to look at how far AHA and its breeders have come since the beginning of this partnership two years ago. Today, we are happy to highlight three key accomplishments: No. 1 – The number of genomic profiles submitted each year increased. While there could be multiple causes for the trend, Figure 1 highlights the increase from 19,272 genomic profiles submitted in 2020 to 25,560 submitted in 2021 after the initiation of the partnership. This 33% increase continued into 2022 with 24,642 samples submitted as of Oct. 26. (Note: Total sample volume was taken for the year

Oct

when this article was due for publication. Sample volumes for November and December were unavailable at that time.)

No. 2 – The seasonality of sample submissions shifted.

Another interesting trend or change was the timing of genomic sample submissions. We have often discussed the importance of sample type and sample submission dates, helping to ensure that genomic samples on sale cattle are submitted in a timely fashion. This is to ensure the genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) for all animals make it into the sale book before the auction. You will notice in Figure 1, there was a jump in early sample submissions from February to May in 2022. Hopefully, this was a result of breeders submitting samples at birth or thereafter instead of waiting until later in the summer. Regardless of the reason, the important thing to know is that these samples made it through NEOGEN’s lab before the start of the fall “busy season.” This allows ample time for genomics to be delivered back to AHA and incorporated into the genetic evaluation.

No. 3 – Tissue Sampling Units (TSUs) remain the sample type of choice. Although shortages made TSUs hard to come by this year, Hereford breeders should be congratulated because TSUs remained the most common sample type for 2022. Uniformity Hereford.org

This leads to faster turnaround times and higher success rates than other sample types. If there are any words of wisdom to share, it would be to continue to move away from hair as a sample type. While some consider it an easier sample to collect, it is a much more manual and timeconsuming sample type within NEOGEN’s laboratory.

These three takeaways are likely only a small part of the proactive decisions being made daily by AHA members to continue to strive for the best. AHA members’ acceptance of genomic technology and their dedication to collecting samples is commendable.

HEALTH

Stand Guard Every cattle producer’s biosecurity plan matters.

by Deana Hardee, DVM

M

any animal diseases threaten U.S. livestock sectors. Currently, U.S. poultry producers are battling Avian Influenza while U.S. pork producers are guarding against the international spread of African Swine Fever. For cattle producers, state and federal programs have so far prevented the introduction or re-introduction of highly contagious diseases like Foot and Mouth Disease. However, protecting the national herd is every producer’s responsibility. This begins with assessing your own biosecurity plan.

Biosecurity is managing the risk of pests and diseases entering, emerging, establishing or spreading and causing harm to animals, plants, human health, the economy, the environment or the community.1 It is a broad concept, which applies to any disease or pathogen in the herd. To simplify the idea, we can ask ourselves what role we play in preventing and containing disease spread.

Key biosecurity components

There are three main areas an operation needs to evaluate — incoming cattle procedures, current animal health status and potential disease spread and containment.2 Incoming cattle procedures — The first step in a biosecurity plan is understanding the herd’s risk to outside disease from new additions.

In many operations, bulls and replacement heifers enter the herd on

an annual basis. Buying cattle from a reputable breeder with an effective herd health plan can prevent disease from entering your operation.

Regardless of the animal type or production phase, visually inspect all incoming cattle. Keep in mind that animals in a pre-patent period (just before disease) may not show any outward signs of illness.

Quarantine new additions to the herd for at least 21-30 days.3 Work with a veterinarian to understand which vaccinations may be needed or if any testing may be necessary before introducing new additions.

Current herd health status — The herd’s overall health status is a foundational part of biosecurity.

A comprehensive herd health program with routine and appropriate vaccination, combined with a solid plane of nutrition, can prevent disease from entering. In some cases, a disease or pathogen may be endemic (widespread or regularly found in the area). Cattle moving to a new region could be particularly susceptible if naïve to the disease. Unfortunately, some diseases can cause production losses although the disease may not be clinically apparent.

Disease spread and containment — Sanitation practices are critical when it comes to preventing disease introduction and controlling spread within the herd.

This includes many touchpoints in the operation. Prevent inanimate

objects (fomites) from spreading disease. These include things like visitors’ clothes and boots, vehicles, equipment, etc. Cattle delivery trucks should be washed and disinfected both inside and out prior to cattle delivery. When processing cattle, properly clean tools and instruments to prevent disease spread within a herd.

Vectors such as wildlife, rodents and insects can spread diseases such as Leptospirosis, Anaplasmosis or Blue Tongue — just to name a few. Routinely cleaning feeding and water areas can help control these populations.

Plan to prevent

Biosecurity requires a multifaceted approach with a basic knowledge of how the risk of introduction can be minimized, the current health and disease status of the herd and the potential for disease spread. A bit of science combined with common sense can go a long way in sound biosecurity practices.

Developing a herd biosecurity plan can be as simple as outlining the practices you may already have in place. Further evaluating these and addressing any holes in the plan will prepare you in case of an outbreak. Work with your veterinarian to think through a solid biosecurity plan. Prevention and planning are the keys.

ACT’s Playbook

| by Sarah Beth Aubrey

Putting the ‘Culture’ Back in Agriculture Employee engagement improves profits.

What are your top 2023 priorities?

If you’re like most farmers, it’s probably profitability and efficiency.

As you examine various parts of your business for improvement, look at your culture. While that might sound like ‘soft skills’ to some of you, I assure you it is not. Remember, every family or ranching business has a culture — one that is either created or allowed. Creating culture is not always easy and takes constant maintenance, but the benefits of getting your work environment to a place where people get along, communicate

employee behavior, though some employees may need to make behavioral changes to remain in your organization and be successful. It’s about a conscious strategy that leaders create and adopt, which permeates everything.

The most productive cultures are those where people are engaged because these teams know the high cost of a disengaged employee. Researchers vary on the impact of disengaged employees and the percentage of disengaged employees, but most put that figure somewhere between 16.5% and 35% of workers.

Think about that for a second.

If one-third of your employees are working at a level far below their capacity, what is that costing you?

Possibly even more concerning is the possibility of how much the unengaged employee affects those who are doing well. Are they feeling demotivated when they see a fellow employee ‘getting away with it?’

Take some time this winter to evaluate your employee engagement and the impact it has on your bank account. Then, consider ways to improve engagement for the bottom line.

Crafting a positive, productive culture is not just about improving employee behavior …

It’s about a conscious strategy that leaders create and adopt, which permeates everything. clearly and stay for years is entirely worth the effort.

Crafting a positive, productive culture is not just about improving

Five ways engagement improves profit No. 1: Trust Trust is earned when employees are more engaged in the team. This is especially important when jobs are spread out across miles and acres, which they certainly are in the livestock sector. A lack of trust is expensive; it leads to managers constantly checking or redoing an employee’s task.

No. 2: Communication Engaged teams have mastered their own brand of effective communication.

Good communicators save you money in the form of fewer errors or omissions and less damaged equipment or wasted inputs. Research says positive communication also results in fewer missed days; a disengaged employee doesn’t really care if they show up.

No. 3: Retention Searching, hiring and onboarding new employees takes lots of time and adds up in personnel costs. Save yourself some of this headache and money by ensuring employees are engaged — if they are engaged and support your goals, they will stay.

No. 4: Knowledge and Capacity Engaged team members like to get better and desire to learn something every day. These ‘improvers’ elevate your systems, processes and output, and they teach others around them, too.

Sarah Beth Aubrey is an entrepreneur and founder of Aubrey Coaching and Training (ACT). She can be reached at sarah@sarahbethaubrey.com.

No. 5: Productivity Possibly the most important on the list, engaged employees simply do better work. They work harder, faster and with more dedication. This leads to things you care about like higher yields or higher live births in livestock.
