AHA’s DNA Policy for Walking Herd Sires

4

Merry Christmas to you all and a hearty thank you to all of the Hereford breeders who attended the most recent American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting in Kansas City, Mo. The Hereford breed had the largest breed show once again at the American Royal.

We certainly appreciate the work you breeders put into a very impressive exhibition of cattle. The AHA had a terrific meeting, a great deal of education and entertainment, and a tremendous Hereford auction, and the reports on the state of the Hereford business were all very uplifting. The major topic of the meetings surrounded the work that AHA is undergoing to identify genetic markers that will help to improve the accuracy of expected progeny differences (EPDs) for very young, unproven animals.

Agriculture is in a constant phase of scientific discovery with continuous pressure to become more efficient and to produce more with less, while conserving our limited natural resources. The AHA Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program and the breeding values derived from the program are an example of how science has evolved our industry.

Today we produce more pounds of beef with fewer resources. Tomorrow, we will have to do even better.

Modern technology will soon allow us to look deeper into the science of animal

/ December 2011

production. We are actually going inside the nucleus of the cell and beginning to decipher the genetic code of the animal that might deliver us another hint as to how an animal might perform in the future. DNA technology, in my mind, is still in its infancy, but its potential is great.

Basic benefit of DNA technology A very basic benefit of DNA technology allows you as a breeder to accurately determine the parents of an animal. A year ago the AHA Board of Directors determined that pedigree errors could be significantly reduced if AHA members would genotype every herd sire that was to sire a registered calf.

Therefore, down the road if a young bull became recognized as having traits worthy of artificial insemination (AI) status, then proper parent identification would be made much easier since his sire would have already been genotyped and on file with the AHA. In fact, even if a mistake was made in a breeder’s paperwork and the wrong sire has been declared on the registration, the AHA would have the true sire genotyped and a correct determination could rapidly be made.

There are still breeders who are a bit confused about the new DNA sire policy, and I am hopeful that the following questions and answers

will clear up the intent of the policy and the requirements forthcoming.

What is the purpose of the new DNA sire policy?

The seedstock industry estimates there is anywhere from a 5% to a 15% error rate in pedigrees, most of which are due to sire misidentification. There are a host of reasons for such mix-ups; frankly, it’s easy to do. The new policy is designed to make quick corrections in pedigrees through DNA evidence that can quickly give us an accurate answer as to who the correct sire is on a mislabeled pedigree.

How does this policy differ from what AHA has required in the past?

From the beginning of the registered pedigree livestock business, the AHA has relied solely on the record keeping of individual breeders to determine the accuracy of pedigrees. The AHA has in the past only required AI sires to be confirmed back to parents through blood typing and, in recent years, DNA profiling.

As AI and embryo transfer (ET) use has increased during the last decade, breeders and AHA staff have found a significant error rate in pedigrees, which are for the most part corrected once we have an understanding of the sire possibilities. If the probable sires have DNA profiles on file, then the continued on page 6... www.hereford.org

problem can be resolved very quickly.

Many times AHA cannot determine the correct sire which can cause a great deal of marketing problems, particularly if a bull has been used across more than one owner. Having every walking herd sire (not commercial range bulls) on file will solve nearly all of the questions regarding pedigrees once an error has been detected.

Will every bull calf that is registered be required to have a DNA profile on file?

No, not at all! This is the most misunderstood fact of the new policy. Only bulls that will become herd sires and thereby sire registered calves will be required to be DNA profiled.

What about the range bulls I’m selling to commercial cattlemen?

Range bulls will not be required to be tested if they are simply going into a commercial herd.

However, if that range bull is pulled out of a commercial herd and used as a sire to produce registered progeny, then he will be required to be DNA profiled.

What is the difference between a DNA profile and parentage verification?

A DNA profile is simply one test on an individual animal that identifies the unique DNA markers that basically fingerprint the animal. A parentage test would create a DNA profile not only on an individual animal but also on the sire and dam of the individual that would confirm or

deny the accuracy of the pedigree. The new policy does not require parentage verification but only an individual DNA profile on the herd sires.

What will a DNA profile cost a breeder?

Today, the cost for a DNA profile is $32. This includes a status report for all three known genetic abnormalities.

When will the new policy take effect and what age of animals will be required to be DNA profiled?

Only herd sires born after Jan. 1, 2011, will be required to have a DNA genotype on file before they can have calves registered to them. In other words, bulls born in last spring’s calving season or after that, and are used as seedstock herd bulls will be required to be DNA profiled. All bulls born prior to Jan. 1, 2011, are grandfathered in and will not be required to be DNA profiled unless they become permitted AI sires.

What are other possible benefits of this policy?

As DNA technology advances in the coming years, DNA tests may be adopted to enhance the current national cattle evaluation. The AHA is collaborating with scientists to discover gene markers that might add accuracy to the EPDs of different economically relevant traits.

As this comes to fruition, having DNA samples on file will make it easier for breeders to go back and retest herd sires for various informative DNA markers.

Educational Forum Kicks Off Annual Meeting

Mature cow weight EPD The AHA has recently released a mature cow weight (MCW) expected progeny difference (EPD). You will find this on the website and on reports in the near future.

This EPD is just like all others and will allow you to make selections between animals.

You can compare animals just like any other trait. For example, if bull A is 85 for MCW and bull B is 100, then you would expect the average size of bull B’s daughters to be 15 lb. heavier in mature form, if from similar dams. HW

We have just completed another very successful annual meeting that shows the tremendous excitement and dedication Hereford breeders are making toward the improvement of the breed.

The meeting started with a great educational forum with Dorian Garrick giving us an update on how the American Hereford Association (AHA) is progressing with a Hereford specific genomic panel.

During the last year and a half, the AHA Board has directed staff to move aggressively forward with the science community to build genomic tools that will help identify Hereford genetics that are going to make an influence in the commercial industry. These genomic tools will give Hereford breeders another tool to make genetic improvement in the right direction for their customers.

Dorian reported that the correlations are done and the information has been sent to ABRI (Agricultural Business Research Institute) to be used alongside the genetic evaluation. Basically, what will happen is that a breeder will test an animal at the AHA official lab, and an MBV (molecular breeding value) will be produced. This MBV will be used to help add accuracy and change the EPD (expected progeny difference) for the animal that is tested.

I would suggest you could look at this as a number that will act similarly to an interim number but will be reflective of the true genetic value of the animal. Only animals

/ December 2011

that have the genomic panel run will have marker-assisted (MA) EPDs at this time.

This technology is moving exponentially, and the AHA has positioned itself well to be able to utilize this technology to its fullest. The challenge for all of us is to continue to collect phenotypes and to continue to test both high and low accuracy bulls so that we will be able to train and validate a Hereford specific panel. The bottom line is that the more we do the better this gets.

The AHA has spent countless resources and has leveraged itself well to correctly build the panel. By the time you read this article, the first research release should be available. As the membership continues to test animals, the AHA will begin to sequence high accuracy bulls in order to potentially identify specific genes within the Hereford genome that have the largest effect on the different traits. In addition, the AHA will continue to build populations and collect phenotypes on some of the more difficult traits like feed intake and tenderness in order to identify markers for genetic improvement.

The second speaker at the educational forum was Matt Spangler, who gave us a recap of the importance of EPDs and how we should continue to use them as we make sire selection decisions.

He also informed the membership about AHA’s role in the weight trait project and also the feed efficiency grant.

I want to thank Dorian and Matt and the entire science community for

helping the AHA set a path in the right direction in the area of genomics. This is truly a new frontier, and we will continue to rely on the scientists at the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium (NBCEC) and U.S. Meat Animal Research Center to lead us in the right direction.

The third speaker during the educational forum was Bill Beal. He gave the large crowd a real education in the area of reproduction and how important it is to get your cows bred. He entertained the crowd while informing them about how a cow cycles and what needs to be done to properly identify cows that are in heat and the proper timing of breeding.

In addition to the presentations, the drawing was done for the three embryos donated by John and Mona Loewen from the dam of “Foundation,” the bull donated to the Hereford Research Foundation (HRF) and leased to ABS, to one of the shareholders. The lucky name drawn from the hat was Alex Mih, M-M Ranch of Kansas.

“Foundation” has raised nearly $20,000 for the HRF, and ABS will give all profits through semen sales to the HRF. John also said that if we could sell five more shares on the bull before next year’s annual meeting, he will donate three more embryos for another drawing.

Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! Let’s continue to make the genetic improvement we need to keep this breed moving in the right direction. HW www.hereford.org

The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met in Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 27-28 for its fall board meeting. Highlights of the meeting are:

AHA annual audit The AHA Board met with AHA auditors, Kennedy and Coe LLC. Lead auditor Marc Johnson reported consolidated profit of $112,146 for AHA and all of its subsidiaries.

Combined revenue of all entities was $5,216,373. Total assets were reported to be $4,848,574. Johnson reported that the Association is very stable financially. The Board approved the audit report.

HYFA board report Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) President Ray Ramsey and HYFA board member Steve Folkman met with the Board to discuss new strategies for fundraising, managing HYFA and overseeing the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE).

HYFA will be contracting with UMB Bank for the management and reporting of HYFA funds and administration of the scholarship funds. Furthermore, the HYFA has set a goal to raise $1 million with earnings from the principal to be earmarked for JNHE support. A national committee structure has been proposed that would provide oversight of the JNHE in a way that will help regions and states sustain a very professional and costeffective event.

Election of officers, appointments The Board elected the following officers and made the following appointments for 2012: President: David Breiner Vice president: Cliff Copeland Executive vice president: Craig Huffhines Treasurer: Leslie Mathews National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) representative: Craig Huffhines

Marketing committee The fiscal year 2011 advertising campaign reported a 17% cattle breed voice in print advertising with more than 3.1 million impressions during fiscal year 2011. Digital banner advertising media reported a reach

12

/ December 2011

of 608,000 impressions. The AHA website receives over 1 million views a year.

The Board approved the production of educational videos that can be shared on the Hereford website and YouTube.

The committee also discussed the opportunity to produce more region or state-specific Whiteface newsletters. Tommy Coley, AHA fieldman, coordinated a newsletter to be distributed in the Florida Cattleman magazine selling ads to southeast Hereford breeders. Staff will investigate opportunities and keep the committee informed.

BuyHereford.com report Dennis Schock, BuyHereford.com general manager, gave an update on BuyHereford.com. Just less than $80,000 of cattle, semen and flushes were sold in the first four sales of the fiscal year during a 30-day period.

Dennis reported a very enthusiastic growth potential for the service that allows breeders of all sizes to market their cattle, semen, embryos or anything livestock related. Digital video production services are also showing great promise to breeders who wish to video their cattle for online purposes or who wish to use high definition flat screen at auction as opposed to running cattle through the ring.

HPI report Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) Chairman Marty Lueck reported the magazine had a profit of $3,536 on $1.49 million of business. There were a total of 51 sale catalogs produced by HPI during fiscal year 2011.

Two new field managers, Tommy Coley in the Southeast and Dustin Layton in the Southwest, were hired during the year. Their addition is helping with business development in their territories.

Christy Lee was hired as communication specialist managing

two Facebook sites, Buy Hereford and Certified Hereford Beef.

Because of the increasing number of production sale lots selling for more than $5,000 and the way that relates to increased editorial space in the magazine, HPI will limit the sales digest announcement of animals sold to those that sell for more than $7,500.

Member service Member Service Committee Chairman Butch Funk reported on the progress of the new AHA registry business system that has been installed in the last two months. Startup has admittedly been rocky, but turnaround time has been reduced in recent weeks to three days or less.

New online tools are being developed that will assist with online transfers. The committee has been working with two on-farm software developers, GEM and CattleMax, to integrate those systems for better online data exchange.

Breed improvement committee Chairman Jerry Huth reported on the progress being made in discovering gene markers that enhance the accuracy of Hereford expected progeny differences (EPDs). While only slight progress is being made, it is anticipated that large improvement will be discovered as more animals are genotyped and put into the analysis.

AHA continues to work with its genetic evaluation provider, BreedPlan, to incorporate molecular breeding values into the evaluation models. A trial run will be complete in a matter of weeks.

The Board approved the relocation of DNA laboratory services to GeneSeek, a Lincoln, Neb.-based laboratory, beginning in August 2012.

The reason for the transition from Maxxam to GeneSeek is to move to a new SNP platform and to allow AHA a more long-term and robust research partnership between GeneSeek and Iowa State University, where collaborative efforts in molecular research are being met. HW www.hereford.org

CHB LLC helps honor WWII veterans On Sept. 20, 2011, World War II veterans from central Minnesota took the trip of a lifetime — to visit their memorials in Washington D.C. and receive the recognition they have long deserved.

This trip was organized in partnership by Honor Flight Network — a nonprofit organization created to honor American veterans — and by Coborn’s Inc. — a Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) vendor, who also sponsored the trip.

CHB LLC served as a Gold Sponsor of the event, along with more than 30 other companies and organizations. Nearly 70 companies and organizations donated to the cause in all.

“These brave men and women put their lives on the line to protect and preserve our freedoms,” says Coborn’s President and Chief Executive Officer Chris Coborn. “This Honor Flight was a wonderful opportunity for us to recognize and thank them by giving them the opportunity to visit their World War II memorial before it’s too late.”

16

/ December 2011

Once the veterans arrived at Washington Dulles International Airport, they were greeted with great fanfare — fire trucks giving a water military salute, military personnel saluting, and local civic leaders shaking the veterans’ hands and offering words of thanks and gratitude.

The veterans and their chaperones then visited the World War II Memorial; the Lincoln, Vietnam and Korean War Memorials; Arlington National Cemetery for the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier; and the Iwo Jima, Air Force and Navy Memorials.

When they returned to the St. Cloud, Minn., Regional Airport, the servicemen were once again greeted with cheers and salutes from local residents.

Coborn says this event was a small way for Coborn’s to show its heartfelt appreciation to those men and women veterans who sacrificed so much for their communities and country.

Brad Ellefson, CHB LLC vice president of retail accounts, says giving back to CHB customers and

their communities is also a priority for the brand.

“Certified Hereford Beef takes pride in helping the communities of our customers,” Ellefson says.

“Coborn’s is very involved in many different charities and community service projects. I have seen the Honor Flight program in many parts of the country, and we believed it was the perfect way for Certified Hereford Beef ® to show appreciation for the veterans who have served our country.”

St. Cloud, Minn.-based Coborn’s Inc. is committed to the communities it serves, annually donating more than $2 million and thousands of volunteer hours toward making a positive difference in local communities. Coborn’s owns and operates 42 Coborn’s, Cash Wise Foods and Save-A-Lot grocery store locations, along with convenience, liquor and video stores and pharmacies in the upper Midwest. Coborn’s also operates a central bakery, central dry cleaning facility, its own grocery distribution center and CobornsDelivers online grocery ordering and home delivery service. www.hereford.org

Sysco reaches CHB® million-pound achievement In August, Sysco was presented with the CHB million-pound achievement award by the CHB LLC food service division.

Danny Wright, Sysco Nashville director of merchandising, says Sysco has been pleased with CHB’s flavor and quality.

“Mick Welch, CHB LLC vice president of food service, presented the product to me, and it sold itself,” Wright says. “The Hereford breed genetics are perfect for restaurant quality. It produces a great flavor, and a texture different from any other.”

In addition, Wright says, Sysco customers have been impressed with the product’s consistency and quality.

“Certified Hereford Beef sells itself with its consistent flavor and texture,” he says.

Sysco has sales and service relationships with approximately 400,000 customers in the foodservice industry and operates from more than 180 locations throughout the U.S., Canada and Ireland. Sysco offers CHB through its Baraboo, Wis.; Minneapolis; Nashville, Tenn.; Sacramento, Calif.; Boston; Ocoee, Fla.; and Hampton Roads, Va., centers.

During the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) fiscal year 2011 — running Sept. 1, 2010, to Aug. 31, 2011 — the Minneapolis center marketed 1.2 million lb. in its first year selling the brand, and the Baraboo and Nashville divisions marketed a combined 1.35 million lb. HW

NJHA Board Plans 2012 JNHE, PRIDE Convention During the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting in conjunction with the American Royal in Kansas City, Mo., the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board of directors had its fall board meeting during the course of two days.

We had a lot of good discussion on many topics surrounding the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) and the upcoming Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention. Committees were selected to help organize and plan the many contests at the JNHE in Grand Island, Neb., July 2-8.

Our goals for each committee this year are to make sure all contests are ready to start on time and to ensure that we are not shorthanded. PRIDE will be at Michigan State University July 30 - Aug. 2. The theme for this year is “Lighting the Way,” courtesy of Kyle McMillan. A schedule for the leadership event is still being planned; however, a tentative schedule should be available by the first of the year.

The night prior to the meetings, NJHA board members were invited to the home of Bob and Lisa Norton. Bob is president of Biozyme Inc. The Nortons prepared a fabulous meal for the board members and advisors in attendance. The junior board also participated in a team building exercise decorating “Sure Champ” gingerbread houses for Halloween.

It was a great evening, and we thank the Nortons for their generous hospitality and continued support of Hereford youth.

We had another successful year selling calendar ads, so the annual calendar will be filled with ads from all of those who help support our junior organization. Selling calendar ads provides funding for the board to travel to many different events throughout the year including national and state shows.

We help out with contests and shows as well as interact with juniors to promote what the NJHA has to offer. This last spring I had the privilege to fly to the Northwest Regional Show in Moses Lake, Wash., where I met some

outstanding people and worked the ring for their show.

Our high seller for calendar ads this year is recently elected Krissi McCurdy from Georgia. She was able to sell more than double her quota, and we would like to thank all of you who purchased from her and the rest of the junior board for your support.

Another NJHA fundraiser is the street sign that sells in the Ladies of the Royal sale. On behalf of the entire board, I would also like to thank our advisors Gary and Kathy Buchholz of GKB Cattle from Texas for purchasing the street sign that will be displayed in front of AHA headquarters.

The NJHA board could not travel and do the programs that we offer without the support of all the Hereford breeders around the country. Thank you and happy holidays from the NJHA!

entertainment, just stop by the MCS stall for stories about life in the ER!” Welcome back Catie!

Colleen Chaffin While Colleen Chaffin hasn’t always been involved directly in the Hereford breed, she has always been involved in the cattle industry. She started out as a Shorthorn breeder in the state of Illinois. Her parents owned a small farm in central Illinois, right outside Springfield, where they raised corn, soybeans, hay, Shorthorn cattle and three breeds of sheep, Oxford, Montadale and Hampshire.

Colleen and her two younger sisters exhibited at county fairs all over the state of Illinois. They also worked in the beef cattle department at the Illinois State Fair, as their dad was the superintendent for many years. When his health began to fail, Colleen assumed his position in 1995 and remained superintendent until her move to Texas in 2002.

Colleen’s Shorthorn activities included serving as the 1983 Illinois Shorthorn Lassie queen and becoming the president of the National Shorthorn Lassie Association in 1992. She served in almost every capacity on the Illinois Shorthorn Lassie Association board, including president, treasurer and queen chairman. While Colleen was on the board, the Illinois Shorthorn Lassies began a hospitality night for all the Shorthorn exhibitors at the Illinois State Fair and published a cookbook.

While Colleen was on the national board, the National Shorthorn Lassies were able to raise dues so that they could fund more scholarships and junior programs. They also held a national vote that altered the costume worn by the queens to make it more appealing to young girls while keeping it true to tradition.

Before leaving Illinois for Texas, Colleen and her husband, Jeff,

served on the committee for hosting the 2002 Junior National Shorthorn Show in Springfield, Ill. They had also been selected to take over the position as lead advisors for the junior association.

When her husband took the purebred manager position at W4 Ranch in Morgan, Texas, their family made the switch from Illinois to Texas, where Jeff was a native. Their two oldest, Garrett and Logan, were already involved in 4-H, so it was a given that they would get involved in Texas.

Colleen agreed to serve as the 4-H leader, and 10 years later, she still has that position. As her children began showing Herefords, they became active in the Texas Junior Hereford Association (TJHA) and NJHA. Each of them has served or is currently serving on the board of directors with Logan currently serving as the president, Ashley as secretary and Garrett as a senior director. Maggie just finished her first term as a junior director.

Ashley has also served twice as the state sweetheart. When the boys began as directors, Colleen and Jeff were elected as advisors and continue to this day.

As a Texas Hereford Auxiliary member since 2003, she has served on the board of directors and now is serving as the historian/reporter.

After starting out as an elementary teacher in the Morgan ISD system, she has now switched to high school English.

Colleen’s children have always been a priority. She is now a proud Aggie mom with son Garrett as a member of Texas A&M’s class of 2013 and Logan in 2015. Their younger sisters, Ashley and Maggie, are determined to follow in their footsteps in 4-H, FFA and TJHA and as students at Texas A&M. Ashley hopes to one day serve as the National Hereford Queen, and Maggie wants to be on the NJHA continued on page 22... www.hereford.org

board. It seems Colleen’s involvement in the Hereford breed won’t slow down for quite a few years!

Lauren Echols Lauren Echols grew up on her family’s registered Hereford and Angus operation in north-central Texas. She has long had a passion for production agriculture. Spending a lot of time in the show barns with her younger brother, Will, she learned many valuable life lessons from her time with Hereford youth from across the nation.

Lauren served the Texas Hereford Association as its sweetheart and queen and was on the TJHA board for many years. An active 4-H member, Lauren served on the Texas 4-H State Council and was awarded a Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo scholarship for her 4-H activities as well as being named as the first recipient of the Gary Bishop memorial scholarship.

While at Texas A&M, Lauren served on the student council for the College

of Agriculture and Life Sciences. She was also a member of the Alpha Zeta honor fraternity.

After graduating from Texas A&M University in December 2005, Lauren moved to Arlington, Va., to learn more about how policy decisions in Washington affect farmers and ranchers throughout the U.S. After working with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association for more than a year, she transitioned to another ag trade association, USA Rice Federation.

For the past 4.5 years, Lauren has been proud to represent the U.S. rice industry. She knows that her members have more respect for her because she comes from an ag background and can speak to them on their level.

In addition to her work duties, Lauren also served the Texas Hereford Auxiliary as its reporter/historian from 2008-2010. An active member of the National Capital A&M Club, she currently serves as the first vice president of the club and has served

as the vice president of activities in the past. She serves as a tutor for underprivileged kids through Horton’s kids after school reading program and is a member of First Baptist Church, Alexandria, Va. Lauren is still active in her family’s ranching operation. She is in charge of the majority of the marketing for the Muleshoe Ranch’s annual Range Ready Bull Sale. She works with the magazines to publish the ranch’s advertisements and also writes its sale letter and catalog and helps keep its website up to date.

Serving on the NJHA board from 2001-2004, Lauren had the opportunity to work with the American Hereford Women and the National Organization of Poll-ettes through their work at various junior activities. Lauren was the recipient of the John Wayne Scholarship as well as the Bud Snidow Award. She says she looks forward to working with the NHW as it continues to support juniors in the Hereford industry. HW

Retiring comments Cheryl and I compared notes about this column, and as usual we were thinking the same thing. We’ve each served six years on the National Organization of Poll-ettes/American Hereford Women then the National Hereford Women (NHW) board of directors. In the process we’ve both been blessed with many friendships that will last a lifetime.

Additionally we’ve been part of an organization that has grown and transformed itself to keep pace with the times while still fulfilling the mission of its predecessors. NHW’s mission includes more than 20 scholarships, awards and contests offered for Hereford youth.

These initiatives all have two universal truths in common. First is the knowledge that preparing Hereford youth for their future in the cattle business is fundamental to our breed’s continued prominence within the industry. Second is the circumstance that, in today’s world, folks who give their time to organizations such as NHW aren’t easy to come by. Both of these truths are defining elements of who and what make NHW important, what defines its character and what makes it work.

As the mother and aunt of young women who paid for part of their college educations with Hereford scholarships, we can personally attest to the importance of the opportunities NHW makes possible by collaboration with HYFA (Hereford Youth Foundation of America) and others within the American Hereford Association (AHA) community.

We can assure you that what the girls learned in the barn and the folks there who helped pay for part of their educations by supporting these programs are never far from their minds.

There are scores of Hereford kids now working in a variety of professions who were raised, socialized and educated by the “Hereford family.” What they know about agriculture, making a

22

/ December 2011

living, responsibility and supporting each other takes them far in life but, hopefully, never too far from the barn and their roots.

As longtime members and recent directors within the women’s association, both Cheryl and I have seen extraordinary effort, time, talent and dedication on the part of the women we have served with. Margaret Mitchell said of the book “Gone with the Wind” that she wasn’t writing a love story, she was writing a story about women with gumption. Gumption is defined as having initiative, resourcefulness and courage.

A woman with gumption doesn’t sit around dissipating and stewing about things; she’s at the front of a train of her own getting things done. We think many women in agriculture have gumption, but we know the women who serve on NHW’s board have it. These are the women who routinely send e-mails at 1 a.m. after a day at work, then help with their own cattle and also make time for their board duties.

There are no socialites or casual observers on the NHW board.

These are the women with gumption, who each take on four or five jobs per year associated with their board service, work for everybody’s kids at the Junior National Hereford Expo, donate their money, maintain the organization and generally keep the train going. These are women who know the cattle business, believe in Herefords, love Hereford kids and pour their hearts, talent and free time into NHW programs during the four years they are on the board.

It has been our absolute privilege to serve with them, and we retire knowing NHW is in the best of hands. Many thanks to all of our fellow NHW board members and the NHW membership for all that you do for Hereford youth. Thanks also go to the HYFA board and everyone at AHA for your support and collaboration.

Major League Michael Boettcher uses skills learned on the family Hereford operation for a successful career in field management.

by Sara Gugelmeyer

H

ereford cattle and baseball fields might have more in common than you think.

Just ask Michael Boettcher. He grew up on a Hereford farm and now, at only 27 years old, is the grounds manager for one of the top teams in major league baseball.

Raised on a farm in west-central Wisconsin, Michael Boettcher developed a passion for the outdoors. The Boettcher family’s Brookview Acres has been raising Hereford and Shorthorn seedstock for more than 40 years. The Boettchers run about 100 cows, the majority of which are Herefords, and grow cash crops as well.

Michael grew up active in the Wisconsin Junior Hereford Association, of which he served as president.

After high school graduation, Michael was most interested in studying animal science, naturally, as he was seeking skills related to the cattle industry he loved. As he headed off to the University of Wisconsin at Madison, he says, “I was going to go into animal science because that was the only thing I knew before I went to college.”

Change of plans However, an exploratory horticulture class changed his plans. “I realized that I liked

24

/ December 2011

working with plants and being outside,” Michael says. “I liked the challenge of plants. I liked the cattle from the farm, but never realized how much I enjoyed the cropping end of it, until I went to college.”

After his freshman year, he changed his major to horticulture and saw a posting for an internship with the Milwaukee Brewers. Michael was chosen for the internship, mostly dealing with the landscaping at the Brewers’ Miller Park.

The summer of 2004 would change his life forever. “It was the greatest internship experience at that time in my life,” he says.

“I liked working on the farm in the summer, and I kind of missed that, but at that point in time, if there was anything I wanted to do besides farming, it was working here at the park.”

Although his main responsibilities were caring for the 250-acre park around the stadium, he did get to help with the playing field as well. “It was a very handson internship; we were expected to be workers on the crew and do everything and anything that the managers were doing at the time,” Michael says. “That helped allow me to discover another aspect of the horticulture industry that I never knew existed.”

That internship gave him a view outside the traditional horticultural industry, and he enjoyed it. However, he knew that opportunities to work on sports fields were rare. “I knew I definitely wanted to be in horticulture, and I knew if I had a chance to keep sports fields involved in that career path, I would really enjoy that.

The opportunities to be involved in a high-profile sports facility are very limited, so I didn’t want to get my hopes up too high and be disappointed in the end.”

Seeking to continue in that field, Michael landed a similar internship with the Boston Red Sox the following summer. Although, this time his main responsibilities were on the actual sports field. “It gave me a good taste of what it would be www.hereford.org

like to work on a big time playing field,” Michael says.

Still, more jobs are available in the ornamental area of the horticulture industry, so that’s what Michael did after graduating in 2006. “Right out of college, I thought working for a landscape company was good for me,” Michael says.

And he adds that he enjoyed it through the growing season.

“I really enjoyed updating a lot of homeowner and commercial landscapes. But, once we hit the winter time of that job, I was in the warehouse sorting plants, and then I really began to question if that’s what I wanted to do. I ended up going back home to the farm and helping out that winter.”

Chasing the dream Still not sure of what path to choose, Michael went to work for an Angus breeder. He did that for a year, but the dream of working for a ball field lingered. “That was an experience that I am glad I had, definitely. At that point in time, it made me realize that I missed horticulture, and I did really want to get into the sports end of the horticulture industry. Looking back at my two internships, I realized that those were the two summers that, besides growing up on the farm, I enjoyed the most. I told myself I wanted to get back into the sports industry, preferably baseball.”

So, he used his connections from that first internship with the Milwaukee Brewers to look for a job. Michael explains that most people starting out in the field management industry must begin in the minor leagues or on a practice field. That’s the type of job he was expecting to find.

However, Michael says, “It just so happened that they were looking for a landscape manager second assistant. (My former boss) remembered the work I did for her when I was here as an intern, and she thought I could be an asset to the team. So a few interviews and a lot of background checks later, I started working here in March 2009.” www.hereford.org

Michael’s strong work ethic and passion for the job earned him a promotion when the first assistant position became available. The first assistant’s title is grounds manager and the main responsibility is the actual field or playing surface inside Miller Park.

That new position put Michael second in command behind Gary VandenBerg, the park’s longtime chief groundskeeper.

Unfortunately, Gary lost a long battle with cancer this season, and during such a difficult time, Michael was in charge of much of the day-to-day decisions.

Michael explains that as grounds manager, his responsibility is to make sure the playing surface is never a factor in the game. “What that means is keeping the grass cut and healthy, keeping the infield dirt level and playable so the ball is taking a true hop when it comes off the bat.”

This year Michael’s job has been especially important, as the Brewers were in the final four teams in the national league championship.

Although it’s meant more work for Michael, he says it is an exciting time to be a part of the Brewers.

He stresses that he doesn’t do it alone. “We have a crew every day that joins us on the field and landscape. They help us get everything done day in and day out.”

It may seem like Michael’s Hereford roots have little to do with his career on the baseball field. But that’s not the case. “The Hereford industry taught me a lot of leadership when I served as president of the (Wisconsin) junior association, and to be able to bring that leadership to my job now where I have to be a leader to several crew members has been a huge benefit.”

Also, working with cattle is similar to caring for the field, Michael says, in that there’s a lot out of his control. “Working with cattle day in and day out, nothing’s ever exactly the way you want it, in regards of working with Mother Nature. We try to balance and try to eliminate the harmful aspects as much as possible to be successful.

“The Hereford industry taught me a lot of leadership when I served as president of the (Wisconsin) junior association, and to be able to bring that leadership to my job now where I have to be a leader to several crew members has been a huge benefit.”

— Michael Boettcher Farming, I always found a way to get the cattle fed and when calving, get the cows in the barn, get calves on the ground and going even if it was midnight in a blizzard. Similar to my job now, we have to find a way to always get it done. The Hereford industry was a huge benefit to get me prepared for several aspects and challenges we face daily in our industry and our understanding we must have of Mother Nature.”

Although Michael now has a successful career on a major league ball field, he hasn’t forgotten his Hereford roots. He still helps his parents as much as he can with the cattle and when he can’t be there, handles all Brookview Acres’ advertising, including the website, photos and ads. HW

CHB® Appeals to Restaurant’s

T

he Jonesville Store, Clifton Park, N.Y., has discovered Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) is the perfect complement to its local ties and flair.

Established in the historic district of Clifton Park, the Jonesville Store is located in a building with a history dating back to the 1850s — and that history is documented through the National Register of Historic Places.

Chef Robert Rivers Jr. says when the Jonesville Store was established five years ago, the plan was to create a “fine dining-esque” atmosphere, allowing customers to feel cozy and comfortable.

“We want them to feel as if they’re at home,” he says.

Live folk and bluegrass music provides an added ambiance on the weekends. And a local artist gallery, Local.Art.Works, is located on the second floor of the establishment — providing yet another draw for residents and tourists alike.

In the restaurant, a fully stocked showcase provides ready-to-go meals and salads.

“Customers can come in and have lunch by selecting items straight from the case — a variety of salads, sides and entrees,” Rivers says.

Chef Robert Rivers Jr. was the recipient of the Distinguished Chefs of Hereford Beef award in 2010. This award, established in 2008, recognizes chefs or restaurants who feature CHB and the program’s logo on its menus, and are registered with and authorized by CHB LLC.

And, for evening meals, customers can choose from items in the case, or from a menu of five entrees that rotates every four weeks. This rotation allows Rivers to make the most of local produce, which is a highlight of the menu.

“By rotating the menu, we can make the most of what comes in, local-produce wise,” he says. “We use local tomatoes, apples, squashes, leeks and broccoli, in addition to the fresh produce available throughout the year. Local farmers grow for us, and one man goes to the farmers’ markets for us to purchase produce. A lot of places say they use local produce. But we really do — with 80-85% coming from local sources.”

The rotating menu provides variety for customers, Rivers says.

“The changing menu keeps new customers coming in, and keeps regular customers returning back,” he says. “It’s always something different.”

The main entrée: CHB One thing that remains constant is the main entrée — beef, which has remained CHB for the past two years.

“In the past, we had used a variety of beef brands,” Rivers says. “However, we were having trouble meeting our price point and portion size. They were too expensive, or the steaks were paper thin.”

When Rivers was introduced to the CHB product, he was impressed.

“We tried it,” he says. “I thought, ‘Wow, this is good.

This is really good.’”

Rivers says the entrees of the Jonesville Store range from $16-19.

“We want it to be affordable,” he says. “We want something that looks right on the plate and tastes right, without our customers having to pay a great deal for it.

When you put that 10-ounce ribeye on the plate, it’s a compact piece of meat that looks much bigger. You put that in front of someone, and they’re impressed.”

The CHB advantage

The Jonesville Store features many ready-to-eat items in its fresh showcase.

26

/ December 2011

The greatest advantage of CHB, however, is the flavor, Rivers says.

“The ribeye is my favorite, by far,” he says. “We’ve tried a variety of brands — organic and grass-fed included — and the Hereford line is truly the best piece of meat I’ve ever had. It doesn’t need any masking. It just needs a little salt when you’re grilling it, and that’s it. Why would you mask that great flavor?”

In addition to the ribeye, the Jonesville Store also utilizes the Kansas City strip steak and is looking into other cuts, as well.

The Jonesville Store is also proud of the tradition of the CHB brand. www.hereford.org

During AHA President John Woolfolk’s retiring address to the membership, he compared the Hereford business to the Cardinals’ season this year. “The Cardinals lost their best pitcher at the beginning of the season and began with a so-so season, but they proceeded on,” John said. “This is just like the Hereford business seven or so years ago. When the manager saw weaknesses in the team, he found players to fill those needs — just as the Hereford association has done, finding researchers and professionals to fill the needs of the industry. Toward the end of the season, the Cardinals were still 10 and a half games out of the wild card for the World Series, but they didn’t give up. We, as breeders of Hereford cattle, must not quit — we have a great thing going in this breed.”

Century, Golden breeders recognized In celebration of 100 years in the Hereford business, the Andras family was honored as a Century Hereford Breeder Oct. 29. Jack Ward, American Hereford Association (AHA) chief operating officer and director of breed improvement, presented the award to Cary Andras at the AHA Annual Meeting in Kansas City.

John Cennick Andras settled in the Murrayville, Ill., area in 1837. The Andras family’s involvement in purebred cattle begain in 1898 with the purchase of two “well-bred” heifers and a bull from Scott & Marsh, Belton, Mo. In 1898, his grandson, J.C. Andras, then 13, paid $600 for the three head with money saved from selling seed corn. Thus, Daylesford Farms was born.

The Andras family purchased their first registered Herefords in 1911. By the 1920s, the Andras family hosted annual production sales and were regular exhibitors at the Chicago International Livestock Exposition, American Royal, Fort Worth Stock Show and National Western Stock Show. In 1935, they were the first to have a Hereford bull — Don Axtell the 16th — win all three major shows.

Although the heirs of the Andras family have gone different directions, the fifth and sixth generations are still operating in the purebred cattle business.

Cary Andras Jr. maintains a herd of purebred Hereford cattle on the home farm. Steven Andras and his son, Will, manage a Red Angus and Hereford operation in the area, as well.

J.C. and Deb Andras and their children, John, Geoff and Whitney, are also actively involved in the Hereford industry.

Five breeders were honored as Golden Breeders Oct. 29.

Jack Ward, American Hereford Association (AHA) chief operating officer and director of breed improvement, presented the awards at the AHA Annual Membership Meeting in Kansas City.

The 2011 honorees are: Cottage Hill Farm, Petersburg, W.Va. DaKitch Hereford Farms, Ada, Minn.

This sale continues to improve, and the credit goes to the dedication of the consignors, who retain and bring good ones to the Ladies of the Royal event. The standing-room-only crowd also adds a great deal of atmosphere and continues to push the sale average each year.

One of her recommendation letters said, “Sue serves youth because she cares. She instills such values as determination, passion, perfection, professionalism and responsibility in each junior member she works with. She helps others strive to be the best they can be.

She’s always encouraged her ‘kids’

to do more than just show. From the speech contest to judging to team marketing, she helps youth develop their skills beyond the showring.”

For Sue and Jim’s commitment to Hereford youth, they received the American Polled Hereford Association Youth Hall of Merit Award. They have also been inducted into the Kansas Polled Hereford Association Hall of Fame and Kansas State Fair Wall of Honor. HW

As we Hereford seedstock producers work to improve our position as an integral part of the beef industry, we have many traits that must fall in line to get our product from pasture to plate and keep our cow herd moving forward.

• • • • • •

S342 comes close to treeing all coons (traits) up one tree as the old saying goes.

S342 has gone through the National Reference Sire Program.

S342 sons are thick butted, travel with ease, as he does and are seedstock and commercial producer accepted.

S342 daughters are making great brood cows with excellent udder structure and milk flow.

S342 is homozygous polled, may sire some extra white.

A breed changer...An industry equalizer Once in a generation or so a great breeding bull emerges that can help change the direction of a breed or an entire industry. A herd sire has arrived that can bring balance to the direction of the beef industry; a herd sire that can lead us out of an industry lost in the darkness of black and bring light to all that desire to produce the highest quality of beef with the assurance of quality only provided by the stamp of the white face.

“Tank the Ole Bull”

CL 1 DOMINO 5110R {DLF,HYF,IEF} (AHA Reg. #42573483) P&R Herefords would like to introduce our senior

even one breeding season out on the open range.

Breed your cows to 5110R and you use a proven linebred pedigree from a program that has led the Hereford breed and has helped save the Hereford breed for over 45 years when outcross and show winning sires nearly devastated the Hereford breed. A great Cooper sire that was a high performer among a calf crop of great herd sires now working in many prominent herds across the country

herd sire, CL 1 Domino 5110R, our candidate for the herd sire that can help lead the Hereford breed back to dominance in the beef industry. 5110R is a sire that brings substance and balance to the beef industry.

Choose to use 5110R in your breeding program and be assured of proven quality versus chasing the hottest new sire that doesn’t have a single daughter in production or often hasn’t even survived one winter or

5110R sires progeny of unequaled depth of rib and volume with meat and bone on structurally

correct cattle that move freely and possess some of those extras we look for: easy fleshing ability, eye pigment and breed leading carcass traits. But if you want to know why you should really be using 5110R in your breeding program, just turn the page...
