World’s Perspective
The Elusive Average
by Diane Meyer
Sometimes the calculated average is the farthest number from the true average.
Diane Meyer is the editor of Hereford World. She can be reached at dmeyer@hereford.org.
I have spent the past few weeks reflecting (and writing) on the Annual Meeting. Something which most impressed me during that fleeing weekend is our determination to keep progressing as a breed, particularly when it comes to data collection. It was evident all of you take great pride in our data. Our vision for the future of Team Hereford is one worthy of rivaling that of Woodrow F. Call. I walked away from the Annual Meeting believing wholeheartedly in the importance of continuing to collect complete and accurate data. I realize data collection is much easier said than done, but with that said, I happen to know a thing or two about collecting and analyzing numbers on a daily basis.
Manipulating averages I have had Type 1 Diabetes for almost 24 years. By the time I was in middle school, I was pretty comfortable guesstimating my blood sugar levels without actually testing them. I was also at the age where I had to prove to my parents I could manage my blood sugars on my own. A tool my parents and I used to track my numbers was the 30-day average function on my blood glucose meter. All it took was one high blood sugar to skew those numbers. I soon came up with some rules of thumb to manipulate those averages: Never test within an hour after a meal, especially one loaded with carbohydrates. If I sensed my blood sugar was in the 300s, I would give myself a generous bolus of insulin and let it work its magic transporting sugar from my blood and into my cells. About an hour after a dosage was usually ample time to see a better reading. On the flip side, my policy for a low blood sugar was to test every five minutes. Any situation with the potential to lower my numbers — like exercise or extreme temperatures —
4
| December 2018
meant more opportunities to test and lower those averages on my meter. When I visited my endocrinologist, my hemoglobin A1C, naturally, did not reflect the averages on my meter. My parents were surprised — let me rephrase that — surprised and livid, and I was, too. I had allowed myself to turn a blind eye to the real numbers. Looking back, manipulating those numbers did nothing to help me. The averages I saw did not erase my high blood sugars nor undo the damage to my body. The only thing I accomplished was becoming oblivious to the actual trends in my sugar levels, ultimately hindering any progress in managing my diabetes. Our genetic selection tools are based around breed averages. Therefore, having the most accurate average is essential in producing above-average genetics. It is critical the data used to compute those averages represent “average” to the best of their ability. As we look to continue our forward momentum, I encourage you all to remain diligent in your efforts in making our data the most accurate in the world.
In this issue This issue is filled with highlights of the 2018 Annual Meeting and Conference. See Page 36 for a full recap of the event as well as Hereford activities at the American Royal. Members stepped up in a big way in 2018 to support youth initiatives. Read about the Cottonwood Springs Educational Endowment courtesy of Nancy and Tim Keilty, Cedar, Mich., on Page 32. Finally, make plans to attend the can’t-miss Mile High Night Sale at the National Western Stock Show. See Page 78 for a Denver preview and the Mile High Night Sale. I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year. May your holidays be bright and your smile brighter. Hereford.org

Breed Focus
A Commitment to Progress
by Jack Ward
Continue to grow in 2019 by dedicating your efforts in maximizing the strengths of your enterprise.
Jack Ward is the executive vice president of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at jward@hereford.org.
I hope all of you are enjoying the holiday season and spending quality time with family and friends. As our boys get older, Mary Ann and I understand that this time is so precious. In this issue of the Hereford World, you will find a recap of the Annual Meeting. This one was especially exciting with huge attendance and a lot of interaction between members and industry leaders. The staff certainly enjoyed hosting everyone at the new headquarters. If you were not able to be with us during the meeting, rest assured there is always an open invitation for you to visit. Just like visiting a breeder’s farm or ranch, the coffee will always be hot, and we will enjoy hosting you.
Maintaining the momentum As we celebrate Christmas and New Year’s, we take time to reflect on the past year. More importantly, we take time to eagerly anticipate the goals and changes of the coming year. The American Hereford Association (AHA) had a great year, but it is just as exciting to think about what we have in store. Momentum for the breed continues to push forward as breeders continue to focus on producing profitable genetics for their customers. I commend the AHA membership for focusing on progress and adopting tools which make Hereford cattle more reliable. This progress and reliability are due to — first and foremost — committing to whole herd reporting, focusing on customer needs and making genetic progress in the areas of economic relevance by utilizing all tools available. The growth of the young sire test herd, the addition of genomics, the changes to the Certified Hereford Beef ® program, the continued focus on artificial insemination use and the adoption of tools which

position the Hereford breed in a stronger spot are all essential to our continued growth. I am sure most of you are just like my family — we just finished calving a few fall calves and are working to get cows bred back while anxiously awaiting the winter and spring calves. This is always exciting as I am sure some younger genetics have been added to the mix of proven genetics, and it is fun to see how these new matings pan out. As we anticipate the performance of the new set of calves, we can consider making a few New Year’s resolutions. I would challenge all producers to take a look at what you are doing in your program and to look at ways to make your firm even stronger. Maybe you could commit to becoming a Platinum TPR breeder and look at doing a little more data collection or genotyping. Maybe you could commit to participating in the Cow Herd Project or to attending more educational meetings. Your resolution could be to commit a little more time to your customers. Look to them to help identify areas that can make your herd stronger. Your customers can be your strongest allies, and if you interact with them, that partnership will strengthen based on a mutual understanding you are working to improve their operations. The agriculture community is one filled with great people who are committed to feeding the growing world population. Like you, I am so blessed to live in a country that gives us the freedom to make choices and to spend our lives in a manner we love. I thank God each day that I have a loving and healthy family and that I can provide for them through a job I love. God bless everyone during this holiday season.

Fall Board Meeting Highlights
The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met in Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 24-25. The highlights of the meeting are presented below.
Hereford Publications Inc. The Board was updated on the progress of the new online sales results page and the new platform for online sale catalogs. The pricing structure for the new online sale catalog will have a $450 set-up fee with an additional $15 per lot charge.
Marketing and Communications The Board was shown the continued growth of the AHA’s social media reach and was presented with opportunities for continued growth. “The Brand” Marketing Summit is planned for June 3-4, 2019 at the Hilton Airport Hotel in Kansas City, Mo. A schedule is being finalized in order to start promoting the event.
and test herds have been giving feedback information. The goal is to release this to the membership in late January 2019. A significant change to the new MyHerd format will be in how members log on. Members will no longer use their member number, but they will use an email address instead. Artificial Insemination (AI) certificates released from one member to another will be automatically applied to pending registrations of animals born Jan. 1, 2019, or later which are already in the system at the time the AI certificate is released for use.

Breed Improvement The Board had some discussion on how to encourage more participation in the Cow Herd Project. Staff reported spring 2019 inventories will be sent to breeders immediately in order for breeders to update inventories and to take advantage of the $20 per animal charge to get cow herds genotyped. It was also reported that through parentage verification, an animal can be listed as homozygous polled by pedigree. This status will be seen on the “Details” page on the website. There was also some discussion about the rules associated with gene editing of Hereford animals.
Audit/Finance Marc Johnson and Ryan Dreher of K Coe Isom, the AHA’s audit firm, gave the consolidated audit report. They reported income of the AHA and its subsidiaries was $7,572,302. Their presentation at the Annual Meeting included graphics and a comparison to the prior year without the gain on the sale of the building. No significant audit issues were noted in the management letter.
Election of officers The Board elected the following officers and made these additional appointments for FY 2019: President: Pete Atkins Vice president: Joel Birdwell Secretary: Jack Ward Treasurer: Leslie Mathews National Cattlemen’s Beef Association representative: Jim Bellis

Performance Matters
Investing in Improvement
by Shane Bedwell
Continue the momentum in breed improvement by getting involved in the AHA Cow Herd DNA project and the Hereford Research Foundation.
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.
As the sun sets on another great year at Hereford, it sure is humbling to sit back and think about all the momentum the breed has right now. The amount of positive energy that enveloped the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting was incredible and confirmed the quality membership of the Hereford breed. I would like to thank all of you for your commitment to the breed, and I appreciate your time, dedication and effort in making strides in breed improvement.
Get involved As discussed in previous articles and during the Annual Meeting, the Cow Herd DNA Project will conclude at the end of the month. Many breeders have already taken advantage of the low $20 per head cost to get their cow herds genotyped, and I’m very appreciative of those forward-thinking breeders who have been early adopters of genotyping and have taken the initiative to enroll in the project. There are a couple of things I want to point out regarding the project. First, allow for some lead time in placing an order for a tissue sample unit (TSU), as it takes about 10 days to receive the TSUs from the time the order is placed. For those of you electing not to participate due to either the quickly approaching project deadline or having already processed your cows for breeding shots, please understand DNA samples don’t need to be submitted by Dec. 31 — you just
DNA samples for the Cow Herd DNA Project don’t need to be submitted by Dec. 31 — you just have to enroll in the program by that deadline. 10
| December 2018
have to enroll in the program by that deadline! You are free to take samples at your convenience. Another point I want to mention is that if you participated in the program last spring, you can enroll again and catch up your bred heifers that will calve this spring. The spring 2019 cow inventories have already been billed, so getting enrolled again is the first step. In order to get the $20 price, though, you will need to submit the DNA samples via the custom TSU ordered with the specific cow herd ID number. If you have any questions about the project or want to get an order started, please reach out to Tena Martin or me. Finally, I would like to invite all of you to participate in the Hereford Research Foundation auction that will be taking place Dec. 11 at Smartauctions.co. This auction will offer a variety of items for you last-minute Christmas shoppers as well as some exciting genetic packages of semen and embryos. This auction will be one you don’t want to miss, and I appreciate your support in advance. The Hereford Research Foundation was put in place to be able to conduct research outside the scope of the AHA budget, and I’m proud to say we have been able to continue to make progress in our breed improvement tools and performance programs because of the selfless giving and previous donations to the foundation. For this I say thank you, and your generosity is certainly noted by the AHA staff and members. I want to wish everyone a merry Christmas and hope you have time to cherish your family and to give thanks to the good Lord for all of the blessings He has dealt us.

Fresh, Real Mistletoe Want to bring some authenticity and tradition to your home during the holidays this year? Mason Mountain Mistletoe ships fresh, organic mistletoe across the United States so that you can celebrate the holidays with an added touch of cheer. It’s our goal to continue the Christmas tradition by providing you with fresh mistletoe to keep your holidays original! Who knows, you might even get a kiss.
Proud NEW member of:
What started as a Christmas tradition of picking mistletoe has turned into an agribusiness for a young man. Jarrett Worrell, a 2nd grader from Mason, TX has just launched his online business of selling mistletoe for Christmas decorations and keeping traditions alive during the holiday season. Jarrett and his parents traditionally go pick mistletoe during the Christmas season. They will bundle up in the festival warm coats and hot chocolate and scour their pastures on Mason Mountain for just the right twig of mistletoe. “It would be awesome if we actually went in the pasture on a horse drawn sleigh, but really we just go on our ATV.” says Jarrett. The family enjoys the outing as much as they enjoy the actual hanging of the mistletoe and subsequent kisses. They often talked about how cool it would be if they could share this with others. So they launched a plan to provide mistletoe to those in the Christmas spirit. The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe was started in the ancient Greece. The plant was association with fertility and love and was often used in weddings and other ceremonies. For the Romans, differences were reconciled under the mistletoe for peace. The tradition most commonly known the US, if you stand under a mistletoe, you cannot refuse to be kissed. Such a kiss can mean romance, lasting friendship or good will.

It Is Inventory Time Again
by Laura Loschke
Spring 2019 herd inventories have been generated for Whole Herd Total Performance Record (TPR™) members. Check your mail or your MyHerd account for your herd inventory and remember to turn it in by Jan. 15 to receive a $0.25 per head discount on every female maintained on the inventory. Inventories turned in 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 per head surcharge. Any dam whose offspring will be registered and will have weaning performance data recorded through the Whole Herd TPR program must be listed on the current inventory. Steps to completing your inventory • Review each animal on the list and assign a herd ID (if one is not already assigned) to each animal maintained on the inventory.
• Report disposal information
for animals no longer active in the herd. Make sure these are only animals no longer in the herd. If you dispose of an animal and later try to record a calf out of it, there is a $30
reinstatement fee to reactivate the animal if it has been more than six months since the animal was disposed of.
• Keep multiply-owned
• Keep donor dams on
animals on inventory. inventory even if they are not in your possession.
• Report the inventory status
“Non-Exposed” for any first time heifers you wish to keep in your inventory that have not been exposed to breeding conditions yet.
• If you sell a cow and “Transfer” her registration papers to the new owner, she will not be removed from your inventory until she is removed by using the disposal code “T-sold with papers.”
• Add any additional animals
at the end, and provide a registration number and Herd ID for each new animal.
Remember, any animals on linked accounts will be listed on the primary account’s inventory. Traditional paper registry members can check a box located at the top of the inventory form to receive registration applications with preprinted dam information.
• A female can only be
marked as “Non-Exposed” if this should be her first year to calve. Once a cow has had a calf, she can no longer be marked as “NonExposed.” She will need to be marked as “Open, Missed Out” if she was not bred.
• Report the inventory status
The American Hereford Association’s special $20 per head pricing on DNA testing your entire cow herd will expire soon. To participate in this limited time project, call or email Tena Martin at tmartin@hereford.org. Don’t wait too long because this special project ends Dec. 31, 2018.

“Next Season” for all the females expected to calve in the following calving season — fall 2019 in this instance.
Last call for cow herds!

Inventory tips and reminders • Replacement heifers will not appear on the inventory until they have reached at least 18 months of age. Heifers should only be enrolled on the inventory if they are bred to calve in the season described. In this instance, spring 2019.
• Multi-owned cows should be
kept on inventory if an owner intends to register calves out of them. If you are not the owner who will be registering her offspring, mark her as “Multi-owned, no calf.”
• Mark a cow as “Next Season”
if she truly needs to be moved to the next season. In this case that designation would move her to the fall 2019 inventory. If she just missed out, be sure to mark her as “Open, Missed Out.”

CHB Bites
Deck the Halls with Beef
by Kaylen Alexander
“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, @certifiedherefordbeef on Instagram and @crtherefordbeef on Twitter.
The snow is falling, and a chill is in the air. The Christmas tree is shining in all of its glory, and the stockings are now hung by the chimney with care, just waiting to be filled by Santa. Perfectly wrapped packages begin to appear under the tree, which is filling the room with the sweet smell of pine needles. In the midst of classic Christmas movies, holiday parties and checking your gift list twice, it’s easy to forget about one of the main holiday attractions — Christmas dinner. While the traditional Thanksgiving meal of turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes is great, Christmas is the time to enjoy everyone’s favorite culinary option — beef. Whether you prefer yours roasted, grilled or pan-seared, we can all agree on one thing: It’s not Christmas without a prime rib roast!
Oven roasting a prime rib is the easiest way to cook your Christmas dinner. Oven roasting is often considered a “simple” cooking method because it allows you to use a lower temperature over a long period of time. There is nothing better than setting the timer and forgetting about the main meal while you are busy preparing side dishes and desserts. Follow these five easy steps for preparing a delicious Certified Hereford Beef rib roast in no time: 1) Preheat and prep. Set your oven and season the roast. You can find many different roast recipes at CertifiedHerefordBeef.com. 2) When in doubt, sear. While it’s possible to develop a rich, flavorful crust through

slow roasting, you are likely to get better and tastier results if you sear your meat over high heat in the beginning of the cooking process. To sear, heat oil in a large nonstick or castiron skillet. Once sizzling hot, add the roast and sear for two to three minutes per side to create a crust on the meat. 3) Low and slow. Place the beef fat side up in a roasting pan. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer, if you have one. Be careful not to cook past your target temperature because the roast will continue to cook after being pulled from the oven. 4) Let it rest. After removing the roast from the oven, transfer the roast to a carving tray or cutting board and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let the roast rest 15 to 20 minutes. This time allows juices to be absorbed into the meat, making for a very juicy and delicious cut of beef! 5) Carve and enjoy. When it comes time to carve your roast, make sure you have a sharp knife. Always cut across the grain for maximum tenderness in your roast. Serve up and dig in!

Youth Movement
A Tale of Tenacity
by Hannah Williams
Each year during the Ladies of the Royal Sale, the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) auctions off the prestigious street sign that has historically been displayed outside the American Hereford Association (AHA) building. While the street sign can no longer be displayed outside due to the new office location, a special place has been found in the new headquarters to continue the tradition. This year, David (Dave) Lamenzo of Maple Edge Hereford Farm, Bloomfield, Conn., purchased the sign.
His start Maple Edge Hereford Farm got an early start in the back of Dave’s mind 65 years ago when he worked alongside a local veterinarian. Some

of his veterinary trips included local dairy, Hereford and Angus farms, the latter of which he has deemed “black critter” farms. Within a short time of working with the vet, he purchased six Hereford heifers. In late 1967 he was on his way to the Vietnam War to serve as a combat officer with the renowned 101st Airborne Division. While overseas, Dave received a letter from the original farm owner — who continued to manage Dave’s heifers during the war — which stated that Dave’s cows were still producing and doing well. However, after returning from the war Dave found the farmer had passed away and the cattle had been sold. For many years after his service, Dave lost sight of the Hereford breed as he raised a family of six and tended to his work in construction management. In 2004 he was diagnosed with a recurrence of melanoma cancer and was often confined at home as a result of his treatment program. With his idle time, he began looking into the breed and noted how it had changed immensely. This discovery spurred him to invest in a cowcalf pair at the 2006 New England Hereford Association’s annual sale. Unfortunately, six years later, he was diagnosed with severe prostate cancer and his outside activities were again eliminated. Faced with the challenge of deciding what to do with his small herd, Dave knew he was not ready for a dispersal. His best option was to give his herd to some close friends in Connecticut who were dedicated Hereford breeders with a large herd of their own. Earlier this year, Dave acquired another cow with a bull calf at her side.
Perseverance Through the years, Dave has faced much adversity with his health but
has stayed involved in the breed by attending the AHA Annual Meeting almost every year for the past 12 years. He has enjoyed seeing the steady resurgence and growth of the AHA. Compared to his first Annual Meeting in 2006, Dave recognizes the commitment, dedication and genuine enthusiasm of the breeders. He is happy to be a part of a breed with many friendships and welcoming people. Although the Association has gone through immense changes, he is positive the AHA has top-shelf staff and breeders leading the way through changes in genetics, technology, consumer preferences and challenges in the marketplace. “My experience with the American Hereford Association has all been full of wonderful, friendly and outgoing people,” he says. In particular Dave is impressed with the unique drive of Hereford youth. He makes a point to speak to juniors to hear how the breed has helped them develop and where they look to take their future. Dave began making plans to purchase the NJHA street sign at last year’s sale when he saw the potential difference he could make supporting juniors. After returning home he put together his farm’s budget for the next year and included the street sign in his plans. Because of his dedication and hard work, he was able to place the winning bid on Oct. 27. Although none of Dave’s six children have been involved with Herefords, he strongly believes in supporting the future of the breed, especially its junior program. The NJHA board and members are very grateful for the support they have received from Dave Lamenzo and cannot wait to see the improvements his contribution will bring. Hereford.org

Hereford Women
A Great Year for the NHW
by Erin Lockhart
National Hereford Women (NHW) have been — and still are — busy updating contest and scholarships, working on new Lot of the Year sales, getting ready for the annual meeting and crowning the 2018-19 National Hereford Queen in Kansas City, Mo.
New board elected Three new NHW board members were elected to the NHW board during the annual meeting in Kansas City. Please welcome Betsy Pitstick from the Northeast, Shannon Worrell from the Southwest and Nikki Rogers from the Northwest.
National Hereford Queen A new National Hereford Queen was crowned during the American Royal Hereford Show. The National Hereford Queen will represent the NHW, the American Hereford Association and the
Hereford breed throughout the United States at national and state Hereford shows and sales. Please help us in congratulating Emily Meinhardt as the new National Hereford Queen!
NHW Woman of the Year We honored the National Hereford Woman of the Year at the NHW annual meeting. The National Hereford Woman of the Year is recognized for her generosity, hospitality, community service, membership and participation within the Hereford breed. Sheila Crays is the National Hereford Woman of the Year. The Nebraska Hereford Women nominated Shelia for meeting and exceeding all of the above criteria. Their nomination letter states, “Since the early 1980’s, Sheila Crays has been a dedicated and involved member of the Nebraska Hereford Women. In that time, she has dedicated countless hours of her time volunteering for positions that support the membership and improve the organization.”
Lot of the Year program The NHW Lot of the Year program is continuing to gain momentum. In 2018, 11 ranches, farms or state associations joined this growing effort to support scholarships for Hereford youth. The NHW would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the Lot of the Year program participants for their dedication to the NHW and Hereford youth. If you would like to join this prestigious group of breeders in helping Herford youth, please contact a member of the National Hereford Women at nationalherefordwomen@gmail.com.
Why should you pay your membership dues? One hundred percent of NHW dues goes toward supporting the National Hereford Queen and the ever-growing Queen’s Tea at the Junior National Hereford Expo; funding scholarships, awards, and contests; and fulfilling the NHW goal of educating the public about the Hereford breed. If you have not already done so, please make sure to pay your membership dues to help further these great activities.

A Memorable Message

An elderly homeless man is whittling a replica of the dirty yellow Labrador sitting next to him. You can tell by the dusting of snow on the sidewalk, the decorations adorning the streets and the people with armfuls of shopping bags hustling past the elderly man that the Christmas season is in full swing. A young girl and her mother walk by, and the man makes eye contact with the girl. The elderly man lends the girl a small smile, and she returns it. She approaches him and eyes the wooden dog sitting in the man’s hands; he gives it to her. As she looks at it with curiosity as to why the man would give her one of the only things he owned, her mother informs her it is time to leave, and they walk away. Later, the man is sleeping on the sidewalk next to the dog, a small bag of his few possessions resting against the cold brick wall. The little girl sneaks over to where he is and sets a laptop and a projector on the ground, turns them on, and an image of a huge Christmas tree shines on the wall. She and her mother, along with a few other people, place beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree on the wall for the homeless man. The little girl wakes him up to show him the creation, and the scene ends with her smiling, holding his hand as tears stream down his face.
man, the little girl or even the dog that made the commercial so memorable, but whatever it was, the commercial did exactly what it was supposed to do. I’m guessing it’s safe to say you have advertisements that stay in your mind from year to year, as well. Maybe it’s the homeless man, or maybe it’s the Coca-Cola polar bears or the Hershey’s Kisses that play jingle bells. All of these ads serve a purpose — to grab your attention and to stick in your mind. If they can do that for a year, they have gone above and beyond what they were supposed to do. They also tell a story. When you are deciding what to write on your social media feed during the holidays or in your family Christmas letter, are you being genuine and trying to relate to your audience? Or are you simply writing something generic? When individuals scroll through their social media feeds or browse through Christmas letters, certain things definitely stand out, and certain things definitely do not. What stands out in your mind? Would you rather see a photo and a caption that simply says, “Merry Christmas?” Or, would you rather read about a favorite memory surrounding the holidays accompanied by a wish that you find the same type of joy over the holiday season?

of weeks before Christmas; maybe it’s a photo of you and your family decorating your Christmas tree with a message about why it is such a special time. Whatever it is, make it personal and relatable. Give people something to think about and to respond to. Building engagement on a single post helps to build engagement on your entire page. The holidays are a great time to do this because there are so many things you can talk about. Remember, even though most of you are posting on behalf of a farm or ranch, the content does not always need to relate to cattle. There are so many other things that go into your operation. Family, traditions and the property itself are just a few things that can be made personable and relatable. Once people get to know you, what you believe in and what you stand for, the more likely they will want to get to know your cattle as well. Post things that make them feel included in your operation and entice them to come back for more. I hope you will take these things into account when you are planning your holiday social media and customer outreach. I am excited to see what you come up with. As always, please reach out to me with any questions or comments you may have. I hope everyone has a very safe and very merry Christmas and a healthy and happy new year.

s e u n i t ke n o t Ro C r e ller Coast Economic outlook for 2019 is a mixed bag that will require business IQ. by Kindra Gordon
A
nimated, opinionated and articulate, when ag economist David Kohl speaks, ag producers are well advised to listen. Speaking candidly while in South Dakota in late August, Kohl said that while the economy in the

metropolitan areas is on a high, the ag economy is in a “continuing reset that started in 2013.” After addressing an ag audience in New York earlier this summer, Kohl was told he sounded like “gloom and doom,” to which he responded, “It is what it is, so what are we going to do about it?” With interest rates being inched up by the Federal Reserve, trade negotiations making headlines — and, fortunately, some headway — and President Trump’s actions remaining as volatile as the marketplace, the economic outlook for 2019 truly remains a mixed bag for all sectors. As a recent Fortune magazine article notes, “Economic warning signs are everywhere,” and, “The current economic
expansion is much nearer its end than its beginning.” It seems appropriate to say, “Truer words were never spoken.” The reality of a down-trending economy can especially be seen in the dairy market. Kohl, who is professor emeritus in economics from Virginia Tech and also a co-owner of a dairy farm and creamery on the East Coast, shares milk sales are down 24 percent nationally, Wisconsin has lost more than 500 producers in the business since Jan. 1, 2018, and across the country, the dairy industry is losing about seven dairy farms a day. While the situation has been less severe in the grain and cattle markets, those markets have seen price fluctuations as trade wars and supply and demand wax and wane. Hereford.org
Kohl predicts the volatility will continue. He advises ag producers across all sectors: “In this part of the cycle, business and financial IQ is going to be the difference maker.”
Employ business basics Kohl sees four cornerstones to business IQ, which include: Take time to plan. He suggests cash flow planning, production, marketing and schedules. “Do scenario planning and ask some what ifs. I know there is hay to put up and cattle to work, but planning is one of our most important tools.”
1
Strategize. Kohl notes producers often spend more time on $100 per day decisions than they do on $1,000 or $100,000 decisions. He advises being cognizant of this tendency and developing short- and longrun strategies to help stay on track during the lean times.
2
Execute. “This is the one we often fail on. Producers have got to have the ability to execute and pull the trigger on making decisions,” he says.
3
Monitor. Kohl advises regular analysis so you are aware of what is happening in the business and the market. He shares, “The best tool in our [dairy] business is comparing
4
our cash flow projection to actual. We do this monthly so we don’t get off track.” Kohl says through this monitoring process unexpected costs are more predictable, making it possible to adjust plans and decisions to minimize losses and to capture more profits. As producers enhance these business steps, Kohl says they can operate “just like a successful sports team.” He expands upon the sports analogy saying that in an economic time like this, “It’s not about home runs, but base hits.” He adds, “We got away from needing business IQ in the good times, but we’ve got to get back to it.”
Watch the big picture Concerning all of this, Kohl underscores that ag producers must continue to watch the larger picture, particularly trade. Kohl says trade talks “needed to be looked at absolutely,” and he is in agreement with President Trump’s process of reviewing trade agreements country by country, using the analogy, “You eat an elephant one piece at a time.” That said, while many are focused on China, Kohl is more concerned about NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). He notes Canada and Mexico comprise $40 billion in ag trade with the U.S., whereas China’s market is still largely in the “potential” column.
On the global scale, Kohl says he is also watching Argentina and Australia — two beef competitors — and how much beef they are exporting, which will have an impact on U.S. beef trade. The value of the U.S. dollar abroad will also impact trade. A stronger U.S. dollar can suppress trade. Lastly, Kohl is watching land values and suggests landowners do so as well. While history shows land values have remained flat or appreciated from 1910-2017, Kohl says several factors at play could take land values backward. He cites rising interest rates, declining ag exports and/or a collapse of the U.S. or global economy. With some producers already in their second or third round of refinancing debt, he cautions if regulators and lenders tighten loan restructuring, this scenario may pinch finances even more for ag producers. On a positive note, the recent trade agreements made in late September with Korea, Mexico and Canada should be beneficial for American agriculture. However, Kohl says there will continue to be extreme volatility in prices based on headlines. To this situation, he reminds producers to use their business IQ. “If you know your profit window and get there, market some of it. [Otherwise] extreme volatility will put you on an emotional roller coaster,” he concludes.

Demand &Weather Will Drive 2019 Calf Market
Hay prices expected to remain elevated. by Kindra Gordon
28
| December 2018
“Fairly favorable” are the words CattleFax analyst Mike Murphy used in a mid-September webinar to forecast the 550-lb. calf market as 2018 comes to a close. Murphy explains an El Niño weather pattern is forecasted for the fall and winter, which would be good for stocker grazing conditions across Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. For 550-lb. calves this “creates supportive demand.” If the winter wheat grazing scenario stays favorable, Murphy suggests feeder calf prices could see “supportive demand” in the $165$170/cwt. price range. CattleFax is forecasting yearling steer prices at $150-$155/cwt. for the remainder of the year. Meanwhile, CattleFax projects the fed-cattle market for the remainder of 2018 to be less favorable. “We are in the process of bottoming this market for the rest of the year at the low $110 and teens/cwt.,” Murphy says. At the start of 2019, he forecasts the market to uptick slightly from midteens to $120s/cwt. This trend is occurring as trade tariffs and tension are impacting export numbers and putting a drag on the fed market. While exports for pork, beef and broilers were up for the year from January through July, exports have now slowed down significantly. As an example, the high tariffs on pork exports are resulting in lower pork exports and, according to CattleFax, the hog market is weighing on the cattle market. The weather will also be a factor on the cattle market. Murphy explains, “With El Niño projected, which supports a wetter pattern through the Central Plains, that can [adversely] impact cattle performance [in the feedlot].” However, African Swine Fever has been impacting Chinese hog producers — and is spreading quickly. That could affect their future pork supplies and may create opportunities for more U.S. pork exports, which then may bolster beef demand. It is a factor CattleFax suggests producers Hereford.org
monitor closely to determine its effect on the market.
Looking further ahead Murphy shares that a stable beef calf crop is anticipated for the next few years. The 2018 crop was 36.2 million head — in 2019 and 2020 that number is expected to increase to 36.5 and 36.6 million head respectively. “That is being driven by stable margins and means producers don’t plan to contract,” Murphy says. He indicates these supply levels could drag down values in the calf market, depending on several factors: if red ink in the cattle feeding sector continues, consumer demand for beef, and if a recessionary market sets in domestically or globally. Furthermore, if corn reaches $5 per bushel, that could impact the value of calves. He summarizes, “The underlying supply of calves from 2018 to 2022 is not going to change much. So demand is where we need to watch. Demand, high corn, extended period of feedlot losses, domestic or global recession — if one or all [of those] happen, it could mean the market goes back to $125/cwt.” Producers are advised to monitor outside influencers that affect costs. He notes, “Regional cow costs are going up [due to feed costs]. Interest rates will continue to go up the next 24 months. The feds have been clear on that, and it can have a huge impact on cost structure.” Regarding prices for feedstuffs, CattleFax reports the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is estimating a record corn yield and a near record soybean yield from the 2018 growing season. That said, there is still strong demand for corn, and CattleFax projects support in the market for corn at $3.50-$3.85 per bu., with resistance at $4.15. Hay prices are projected to elevate because of limited supply due to drought last year and in Hereford.org
key regions through summer 2018. With hay supplies at their secondlowest level in nearly 30 years, CattleFax advises producers to expect prices at about $155-$160 per ton through spring 2019. For perspective, U.S. hay prices have been at least 10 percent above year-ago levels for every month of 2018. Year to date, hay price increases have been even steeper in Kansas (+43.7 percent year to date),
Nebraska (+26.6 percent) and South Dakota (+16.5 percent). Each of these factors will affect production costs and profit margins. Murphy notes one thing that could help overcome faltering market prices is expanding the global footprint and growing beef exports — which could support calf prices. But, he also cautions, “A global recession would not allow that to happen.”
El Niño expected The Climate Prediction Center (CPC) has issued an El Niño watch ahead of the upcoming 2018-19 winter season for the Northern Hemisphere. This means an El Niño Southern Oscillation — commonly referred to as ENSO — which is a periodic fluctuation of sea surface temperatures over the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean that subsequently affects weather patterns across the Northern Hemisphere — is likely. The warming phase of the sea temperature is known as El Niño, and the cooling phase as La Niña. Last year was a La Niña winter which yielded a substantial decrease in snowpack across the West and Southwest, bringing about increasing drought conditions into the spring and summer of 2018. With an El Niño winter, much of the country is forecast to see warmer than average temperatures through December with the South, Gulf Coast and East also experiencing above average precipitation. The Northwest is expected to see drier than normal weather, and drought conditions are expected to intensify across the Pacific Northwest, Southwest and northern Plains through December. The CPC projects El Niño will be a weaker event, which can have implications on the positioning of the subtropical and polar jet streams and can lead to other weather patterns influencing climate trends. Thus, the weather forecast for 2019 is still somewhat of a wait-and-see situation.

Lessons from Home Joining the Hereford breed fueled a passion for supporting the education of Hereford youth for years to come. by Taylor Belle Matheny
T
he rich history, familiar traditions and knowledge of cow families are a staple in the household of many generational Hereford breeders. As a newcomer to the Hereford breed, these things are not all that familiar. Luckily, the breed is known for individuals who are willing to take others under their wing and make them part of the Hereford family. In 1992 Nancy Keilty and her husband, Tim, of Cedar, Mich., set out to purchase their first Herefords. Along with Nancy’s father, Ed Ball, a commercial cattleman, the three attended the Ace
dispersal sale with their eyes on a few of the lots. Looking at a pen of bulls, Ed remarked to Nancy, “Do you think I can get that one for $600?” Being used to normal market prices, they left without that bull, but Nancy did purchase eight cows to begin their Hereford herd.
Getting involved
As new faces in the breed, Nancy and Tim were connected with other Hereford breeders in Michigan by a fellow Hereford breeder who graciously extended his knowledge. In the years following, Tim served on the Michigan Hereford Association board of directors and played an integral role in planning the 1999 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). From that point forward, the Keiltys were vested in the betterment of the breed and supporting Hereford youth across the United States. While attending their first JNHE and helping to host the 1999 Junior National “Spartan Time” at Michigan State University, the Keiltys saw the influence Hereford youth had on their own children and other members of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA). Cottonwood Springs, Cedar, Mich., has grown not only in cattle, but also in generosity since its start in the late 1990s.

“It was the youth and the junior board helping At the Annual Meeting this October in Kansas my daughter that left me so impressed,” Nancy City, Mo., Nancy and Tim announced the Keilty says. “It made me think, ‘I want to do something and Cottonwood Springs Educational Endowment. to be a part of this.’” The goal of this $250,000 endowment is to move Having little prior knowledge about the educational events at the JNHE forward for years Hereford Youth Foundation to come. of America (HYFA), Nancy “The Keilty and Leave the campsite better spoke to an American Cottonwood Springs than you found it.

During her time as a board member, she watched the foundation give numerous scholarships and decided to start an endowment to amplify Throughout her tenure, Nancy Keilty and fellow HYFA board members have helped to build a firm the educational component of foundation for generations to come.

someone just as committed to the junior program to help her find an area that could reap the benefits of the endowment. “Amy came up with the idea to enhance programs at the JNHE and that started a vision for what the endowment could do,” Nancy says. Leaders within the NJHA will carry this endowment into the next phase. The vision has been set in place for all the endowment can do for the future of HYFA and members of the NJHA. “Our current board is excited about the opportunities to grow programs at the JNHE,” says Rylee Barber, NJHA fundraising chair. “We are working to expand our current contests and to create new ones to give members unique experiences that develop them into leaders.” At the 2019 JNHE in Denver, there are plans in action to fund projects in conjunction with the event.
About the farm Cottonwood Springs Farm (CSF) is owned by Tim and Nancy Keilty. Located in northern Michigan, this 250-acre operation is home to a registered herd that is heavily influenced by Sooner genetics. Each year CSF utilizes in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer technology to offer the best offspring from proven donors. Over the past few years, CSF has raised numerous national champions. CSF also has a venture selling homegrown beef to locals. Leelanau Natural Beef is a grass-fed, antibiotic-free beef that is labeled “All Natural.” The 85:15 ground beef is sold at local restaurants and at a self-serve station on the farm. The diverse operation at CSF was established in 1982. Today, it continues to be a leading Hereford operation and an innovative member of the beef industry.

“With additional funds, we will be able to elevate the programs that are already in place and add to them as well,” Amy explains. “For starters, we hope to rejuvenate the Certified Hereford Beef ® Grill-Off contest and add an educational component from the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout to the Junior National event each summer.” In order to benefit the entire junior association, this endowment will fund programs which encourage participation from everyone in the barn. “Plans are already in place to enhance the Hereford Pen-to-Pen program that started last year,” Amy says. “The NJHA board is super excited to debut the ‘Bridging the Gap’ program that will feature a college and career fair for Junior National youth who are in the midst of making college and career choices.”
Make a difference There comes a time in everyone’s life to envision a future beyond their own lifetime and to begin forging a legacy. “Come grow with us. There is nothing more rewarding than supporting youth in agriculture and there are so many ways to get involved,” Amy says. “Be it through an educational endowment like this, supporting leadership programs or becoming a member of the Foundation 1 Club, there is a way for everyone to get involved at all different levels.” As explained from the lesson Nancy’s parents shared long ago, every improvement — big or small — makes a difference. “Nancy’s parents instilled in her to always leave the campsite better than she found it, and she and Tim have gone above and beyond to ensure there are even more opportunities in agriculture for generations to come,” says Amy. There are multiple ways to make a difference within the lives of Hereford youth whether it be through scholarships, leadership or education. “I would encourage anybody interested in helping HYFA to consider reaching out to a board member,” Nancy says. “People really need to think about the future of their estate through their ranches, farms and families to make a succession plan for the generations to come, and to see if HYFA fits into the plan.” Tim and Nancy are fulfilling a lesson from home by leaving the Hereford campsite in better hands financially than how they found it. “Through the educational endowment we are giving to youth who are the future,” Nancy explains. “We are going to be gone and I want to know the world is going to be a better place for my grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.”

2018 AHA Annual Meeting and American Royal Coverage
In Session:
The AHA Educational Forum by Kayla Jennings and Diane Meyer
O
n Friday afternoon, American Hereford Association (AHA) staff members led an educational forum to engage Hereford breeders with the exciting changes taking place within the Association. Topics
included maximizing the use of genetic selection tools, touring the new MyHerd system, previewing the new Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) online catalog format and discussing the Certified Hereford Beef ®
program upgrade. This year’s format allowed attendees to sit in on all four presentations. The following is a summary of each session.
Onward and Upward: Maximizing the Use of Genetic Selection Tools In 2018, the AHA introduced several new improvements to its genetic selection tools. Shane Bedwell, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement, highlighted four key areas breeders need to understand regarding the changes in genetic tools: the difference between economically relevant traits (ERTs) and indicator traits, the premise of profit indexes, the profit index scaling change and the Cow Herd DNA Project.
Identifying ERTs The first step in understanding profit indexes is understanding ERTs. Bedwell defines an ERT as a trait associated with a revenue stream or cost. Several factors go into determining if a trait can be considered an ERT. The primary way to identify an ERT is determining the revenue stream for an enterprise, and this changes across each stage of production. Bedwell identifies three questions seedstock and commercial producers must answer in order to
determine the ERTs most influential in their operations. First, what are your breeding and marketing goals? Second, what traits directly impact the profitability of your enterprise? And lastly, are there environmental restraints which dictate the level of performance acceptable for a given trait in your enterprise? “The premise of breed improvement and being able to focus on intense selection pressure comes down to identifying the economically relevant traits,” Bedwell says. “That has evolved over time, and with continued advancements in technology we will continue to hone in on economically relevant traits so that we can truly account for them in the selection indices that we have.”
Profit indexes review Index selection was started as a way to drive commercial profitability by simplifying sire selection through the use of ERTs. The baldy maternal index
(BMI$), the Brahman influence index (BII$) and the Certified Hereford Beef index (CHB$) were designed based on three primary production scenarios. BMI$ is based on using Hereford bulls on mature, Angus cows. The biggest ERT driving this profit index is Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF). “Fertility is the most important thing that we do,” Bedwell says. “This breed is so good because of the longevity and the ability of the Hereford female to last and work in production.” BII$ is formulated on the same premise as BMI$, only the production scenario in play is one using Hereford bulls on a Brahman-based cowherd. Bedwell notes the ability for Herefords to adapt in all regions across the U.S. makes our breed superior in first generation (F1) females. CHB$ index differs from the previous two in that it is a terminal index. The production scenario is based on Herefords bulls on mature Angus cows, with all progeny being fed and marketed on a grid. Therefore, the big ERTs driving this index are carcass weight (CW) and dry matter intake (DMI), as intake is associated with cost.
Profit index scaling change
Bedwell leads a discussion on the merit in considering economically relevant traits when making breeding decisions to propel the breed forward.

| December 2018
Last year, the AHA added SCF, CW and DMI into the profit indexes, which are all weighted heavily in their respective index. This caused the profit index values to increase dramatically. On Sept. 3, 2018, the AHA made a slight change in how the Hereford.org
profit indexes were expressed so that they were displayed on an economic scale showing the profit potential of each animal. This simply means the profit indexes express a real economic value associated with dollars rather than a scaled number.
Cow Herd DNA Project Bedwell wrapped up his session by expressing the importance of the Cow Herd DNA Project and how
collecting genotypes will help the AHA in making leaps and bounds in its genetic evaluation. For the project, the AHA teamed up with GeneSeek® and Allflex® to offer members a $20 per head rate to get their cow herds genotyped. The advantages of participating in the project include an opportunity to gain valuable information early, comfort in knowing parentage is accurate and, most importantly, the improvement in the
quality of the prediction of the animals in the AHA genetic evaluation. Bedwell notes the silver bullet in the longevity of the Hereford breed is recording both phenotypes and genotypes. “Whole herd reporting has paid dividends for our organization, and it is not going unnoticed by the rest of the industry,” Bedwell says. “We have to continue to advance the breed and make it better. We need all of the data.”
MyHerd: Revamped and Revitalized Stacy Sanders, AHA director of records department, and Laura Loschke, AHA education and information services coordinator and assistant records supervisor, shared exciting news regarding MyHerd to the membership. Since May, the AHA has been working on revamping the existing MyHerd website. This action is in response to feedback from breeders regarding lack of speed and responsiveness to mobile devices. The new MyHerd will not only be faster and mobile-friendly, but it will also include a variety of key functions to aid in usability. While many of the old navigation panels will maintain in the new platform, it is a completely new program. “Think of it as a house,” Sanders says. “We’re not taking an existing house and remodeling it. We’re not adding a new kitchen or updating the bathroom. We’ve actually started from the ground up. We’re totally redeveloping it on a whole new platform.” Sanders notes their priorities throughout have been serving the needs of the membership. To increase speed, the Association has dedicated resources for new hardware specific to MyHerd. This update will omit the competition MyHerd currently has while housed on a server with other programs. Additionally, the new system boasts larger fonts and a cleaner design. Sanders and Loschke agree these attributes together provide a modern, more intuitive program for users. However, while it is mobile friendly, it is important to note it is not a Hereford.org
separate application. “You do have to be online, whether that’s your mobile data or your Wi-Fi,” Sanders explains. “It is mobile friendly in that you use a web browser to access it. It senses you’re on mobile browser, and it automatically rescales things for you.” Loschke says to keep in mind it is never going to be desirable to sit down and enter a hundred registrations on a cellphone, but the capability is available. “More importantly, it gives you really easy access while you’re traveling to release an AI certificate to somebody in need of it or transfer that animal that you forgot about really quickly on the fly,” she explains. “You don’t have to be at home, sitting in front of your computer to get all that done.” When working through registration and transfer work, the new system boasts several new functions, including transferring and requesting DNA tests on multiple animals, automatically populating fields, and the ability to create animal lists by filtering criteria. Further,
Loschke points out the expanded capabilities within personal lists. “Currently your personal list shows you anybody that you’ve done business with in the last three years,” Loschke explains. “In the future, we’re adding the ability to tell you specifically the business that you did with that person. We think this will be really helpful if you got a call from a guy, he’s coming to visit your farm, and you need to go back and look and see what he bought from you in the past.” The first test herds for the new system initiated in September. Since then, AHA staff have received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Before the official launch, Sanders and Loschke plan to increase the number of test herds to uncover any problems with the new functions. After the program is cleared, all members will receive an email to create an account utilizing an email address and password. Existing MyHerd accounts will not automatically transfer to this system. Additionally, the office will continued on page 40...

no longer have access to passwords. Users will have to utilize the “forgot password” function on the site to get their password. “Just think of it, on any other account you use online, you don’t use your account number to sign in,” Loschke notes. “You always have to use a username and a password. This just makes it a little harder for anybody to hack in, and it increases security on the site.”
Consistent with the old program, there can be multiple logins per account. For example, a ranch account can have logins for both spouses and all children. Further, MyHerd users will have the ability to view which user completed the registration work. All this culminates to minimizing the number of clicks and work required in the old system. “The million-dollar question is when is the new MyHerd coming
out?” Sanders says. “Hopefully, we’ve piqued your interest and we’ve got you excited about it. I wish we could tell you we were ready to roll it out next week. We’re not quite there yet. We are looking at a planned launch at the end of January of 2019. If we feel like it’s right and ready and timing would be able to support a rollout and a launch, if we can support that, if it’s a little earlier than that, we will definitely do it.”
Modern Marketing: Redefining the Sale Catalog Hereford Publication Inc. (HPI) staff members unveiled an online sale catalog feature available through the AHA that will streamline the efficiency of catalog production. The new catalog, dubbed Herefords On Demand, will showcase “live” expected progeny differences (EPDs) updated on a weekly basis and offers users the ability to search for EPDs within and between catalogs. Caryn Vaught, HPI production manager; Alison Marx, HPI advertising coordinator; Sam Albers, HPI creative services coordinator; Joe Rickabaugh, AHA director of field management and seedstock marketing led the presentation on the cutting-edge features of the new format. Also in attendance was Joey Betzen, director of production with Propaganda3, who previously worked with the AHA on its new website design.
In a nutshell, Herefords On Demand will allow individuals to build their own sale catalogs. Using the new MyHerd platform, which is set to roll out by the end of January 2019, users will log into their accounts to begin work on their catalogs. After inputting sale and lot information and selecting from three predesigned layouts, users will work with HPI staff to customize the final product. Albers guided attendees through a simple four step process of creating a catalog. Each step outlined the details of how to input information, organize lots and attach supplemental photos, videos and documents. After entering all their information, users will select the design template of their catalog. There will be three predesigned layouts to choose from, or users can opt for a custom template designed by HPI or an external party. An
important factor to note is that live EPDs are only available through the predesigned templates. At any point in the data entry, users have the option to hit pause and save their progress. This means catalogs can be created as quickly or as slowly as needed. For an added hourly cost, information can also be sent to HPI for staff members to input. Marx then navigated attendees through the user dashboard display, the online catalog display and the search functions. Through the AHA website, anyone will have the ability to search catalogs for animals based on registrations numbers, sale name, location and date, and for desired EPDs. They also have the option to share the catalog via email and social media. “This option is practical for all herds, regardless of whether you’re selling five animals or 500 animals,” Marx says. “It really makes the playing field equal because you’re hosted on the AHA site. It streamlines the efficiency of catalog production.” Rickabaugh wrapped up the presentation by discussing prices. The pricing structure for Herefords On Demand is a $450 set-up fee with an additional $15 per lot charge. A $50 per hour production charge will be added if HPI staff needs to do additional work on the catalogs. “This feature will give you big exposure,” Rickabaugh says. “The searchability and the updated EPDs are really powerful and will help breeders of all sizes market their cattle and promote their sales.”
HPI staff rolls out an exciting new way for Hereford breeders to develop a unique online sale catalog.

Continuing the Tradition: Positioning the Certified Hereford Beef Brand for Success Amari Seiferman, Certified Hereford Beef president and CEO, led a panel discussion featuring: David Trowbridge, Gregory Feedlots, Inc.; Wes Steimel and Jason Robinette, National Beef Packing; Shane Bedwell, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement; and Jack Dupree, Sysco Virginia vice president of merchandising. These experts from different segments of the industry discussed their function in the beef industry as well as their perspective on the Certified Hereford Beef program changes. Seiferman addressed the group first by announcing the transition from a blended program to a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Choice program, effective Jan. 1, 2019. “By improving the quality grade and by being able to put the USDA shield on there, we’re able to open up new markets,” Seiferman explains. “We’re able to compete against the 91 other USDA programs that are in the industry today, that we have to face daily. This change is allowing us to be more competitive and to be able to open up doors of opportunity.” By eliminating the classic program, Certified Hereford Beef is positioning itself for maximum success in the marketplace. Seiferman predicts these changes will remove brand confusion, provide a consistent brand message, improve partner options and ultimately increase the demand for Hereford genetics in the marketplace. The panelists agree Certified Hereford Beef is slated for tremendous growth in the next several years. However, this growth is impossible without the diligence of Hereford breeders to produce the highest quality beef for consumers. Bedwell applauds Hereford breeders in their improvement on economically relevant traits such as the Certified Hereford Beef index, marbling and carcass weight. As a breed advantage, Hereford cattle excel in tenderness and juiciness, however, marbling has traditionally been lacking. “We have that marbling there, and now we’re bumping up the quality grade to Choice and higher,” Bedwell remarks. “I think producers should just keep on doing what they are Hereford.org
Certified Hereford Beef ® staff and industry representatives alike are excited for the program’s growth potential due to increasing the quality grade program specifications.
doing. Hereford breeders have an excellent product, and now as we upgrade to Choice and higher we can take it out there, we can say, ‘It says choice on the box, now try this and see how good it is.’” Today, those characteristics coupled with increased expectations from the program and the dry-aging process on carcasses, provide a product with immense value to consumers. “When you have a breed specific program, and it has a grade statement that tells everybody exactly what it is and lets them sell into that next level, it makes my life a lot easier,” Steimel explains. “I think it brings some consistency to the program, and it brings some more validity into the program. A lot of what we’re able to do comes from what Hereford breeders are doing in increasing the marbling of those cattle.” Because of this growth, anything meeting the specifications at National Beef is going into the Certified Hereford Beef program. Steimel says there is a clear demand for the product, and National Beef has even approached their board about increasing the premium for Hereford influence cattle going into the program. Today, Robinette reports cattle are receiving a $2 premium if they meet the specifications, and he anticipates that will grow as demand for the product increases. As a cattle buyer, he has seen improvement in Hereford genetics from a grading and quality standpoint. For him, the reality Hereford genetics can meet an upper two thirds choice requirement makes his job easier in buying cattle.
From the fed-steer perspective, Trowbridge compliments Hereford breeders on bringing genetics to his feedlot with the ability to qualify for these premium programs. Because his goal is to not only maximize performance of cattle from a pounds perspective, but also maximize the financial value of the cattle, this incentive to increase quality in the Certified Hereford Beef program is exciting. “We’re looking at this in the feeding industry as a positive move to move forward with more demand, thus creating more value for the cattle that we’re raising,” he explains. It is critical to remember Hereford breeders play a key role in increasing demand. Seiferman reminds producers to demand the brand in the grocery store, restaurants they frequent, and other retail outlets. Seiferman and the panelists agree consumers today want to know where their food came from, and they want to know the story behind the meat they’re eating or the food that they’re sourcing. Certified Herford Beef is in a unique position to provide that experience to consumers. “We work with producers throughout the country, not only doing farm-to-table tours, but as we’re doing Certified Hereford Beef program launches or program dinners,” she says. “We will be reaching out to breeders in those respective areas, and they have the ability to be able to enlighten people on our side of the industry. Being able to connect that story to a final product is very powerful.” December 2018 |

2018 AHA Annual Meeting and American Royal Coverage
Atkins Elected AHA President
Pete Atkins
P
ete Atkins, Tea, S.D., was announced as the new president of the American Hereford Association (AHA) during the Annual Meeting and Conference Oct. 27 in Kansas City, Mo. “The Hereford breed is made up of great cattle and great people. We have tremendous momentum in the breed right now, and I look forward to working together with the staff and Board to continue the momentum and expand Hereford influence across the beef industry,” Pete says. “I am truly humbled and honored to have the opportunity to serve this great breed and look forward to the coming year.”
Pete and his wife, Laura, and three sons, Scott, Craig and Paul, own and operate Atkins Herefords. The family’s goal for the operation is to produce high-performing cattle with moderate birth weights that have eye appeal and will work for the commercial cattleman. Emphasis is placed on raising sound, trouble-free cattle, and udder quality in the cow herd is stressed heavily. When selecting breeding stock, the Atkins use a balance of all tools available. Pete was raised on a diversified cattle, hog and crop farming operation in southeastern South Dakota, where he and his family live today. The family began collecting and reporting performance data in 1975 and have used artificial insemination (AI) since the late 1970s and embryo transfer (ET) for the past 10 years. Today, Atkins Herefords consists of a base herd of 25 registered cows, and it produces an additional 20-50 ET calves each year. Together with their good friends and partners, the Jerry Delaney family, the Atkins market bulls through an annual bull sale, and host an online female sale each fall. Atkins Herefords consigns bulls
and females to the Mile High Night Sale and exhibits carloads of bulls and pens of heifers with the Delaneys each year in Denver.
Birdwell selected vice president Joel Birdwell was selected to serve as the 2019 AHA vice president. He and his wife, Bridget, and three sons, Joel Birdwell Jarret, Judson and Jhett, reside in Kingfisher, Okla., on the ranch his family homesteaded 115 years ago. Joel raised and showed Hereford cattle in his youth and was involved in state and national junior Hereford programs. He attended Oklahoma State University (OSU) and was a member of the 1995 livestock judging team. Upon graduation, Joel was hired by OSU to manage its purebred beef cattle herd, which consisted of 500 purebred cows and five breeds. He was responsible for managing the AI and ET programs, the student workforce and the annual production sale.

In 2002, Joel and Bridget moved to Kingfisher to help expand Bridget’s family’s farming and cattle operation. The Birdwells focus on raising bulls and females that excel in economically important traits — calving ease, marbling, fertility, fleshing ability and rapid growth to a moderate mature size. They run approximately 2,000 head of stocker cattle annually. They also have more than 400 commercial cows and utilize a three-breed crossbreeding rotation of Hereford, Angus and Charolais genetics. Cattle are marketed through video and private treaty sales. Joel partners with his father on 300 registered Hereford and Angus cows, which are on the family ranch in Fletcher, Okla. They utilize AI and calve both in the spring and the fall. Approximately 100 head of bulls and females are marketed through their production sale hosted in February as well as through private treaty. He has also followed in his father’s footsteps and has been growing his purebred auction business for the past 10 years. Delegates elected three new directors during the membership meeting. Craig Beran, Claflin, Kan.; Bruce Everhart, Waldron, Ind.; and Andrew Matheny, Mays Lick, Ky., will each serve four-year terms on the 12-member Board. Completing their terms on the AHA Board were outgoing president Kevin Schultz, Haviland, Kan.; Jim Mickelson, Santa Rosa; Calif.; and Bob Thompson, Rolla, Mo.
on performance and a highly efficient cow herd. Craig has been an active member of the AHA for more than 30 years and has served as a delegate for Kansas for the past 20 years. He has also served on the nominating committee for the AHA Board. Within the Kansas Hereford Association, he has served as president and as a board member. In support of Hereford youth, Craig and B&D Herefords and Angus have been a sponsor for the Kansas Junior Hereford Show and the JNHE. As a representative of Kansas and American agriculture, Craig traveled with the Kansas Department of Agriculture on a beef genetics trade mission to Uruguay and Argentina to visit Hereford and Angus ranches. On a local level, Craig has served on the Barton County Farm Bureau board, the Barton County Farm Service Agency board, the Beaver Grain Corporation board and the finance board for Holy Family Parish. He is also a founding member of the Claflin Recreation Commission. Craig is married to Michelle Beran, and they have two children — John, who is pursuing a graduate degree in archeology at Eastern New Mexico University, and Bridget, who works as an agriculture journalist and was an active member of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA). Michelle has served on the National Hereford Women board of directors and was secretary for most of her tenure in addition to serving as parliamentarian and chairman of the queen committee.
Craig Beran

Along with his three brothers, Craig owns and operates B&D Herefords and Angus, which consists of 800 cows. B&D Herefords and Craig Beran Angus has been raising registered Hereford cattle for 50 years and holds two annual sales. The Season Opener sale in March is in its 32nd year, and the Fall Classic Sale began in 2018. Between the two sales, B&D Herefords and Angus markets approximately 200 bulls with a focus

calves are split between natural mating and ET calves, totaling 50 head. The remainder of their cow herd is used as recipients to raise ET calves for other purebred breeders. The set-up of the Matheny Herefords program also allows the family to sell genetics from their herd twice each year. Females are marketed through an annual production sale, The Breeder’s Cup, held each fall. Bulls are sold in conjunction with Boyd Beef Cattle and Meyers Angus in an annual spring bull sale. The family also sells cattle via private treaty to purebred breeders each year. A large majority of their calves are contract ET calves, but the remaining commercial calves are sold in the Kentucky HerefordInfluenced Feeder Calf sales.
The goal at Matheny Herefords is to produce Hereford cattle that fit the demand of its customers to perform well in both purebred and commercial operations. Focusing on phenotype as well as genomic predictors has allowed the Mathenys to produce cattle that have adapted to the needs of their customers.

BioZyme Inc. Donates $30,000 to Support Hereford Youth and the Fed Steer Shootout Contest B
ioZyme® Inc., longtime supporter of Hereford youth, announced its commitment to educating youth in agriculture with a $30,000 contribution to the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout through the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and BioZyme’s Feed the Future Program during the American Hereford Association (AHA) Hereford Honorees Program Oct. 26. “We are proud and excited about the educational opportunities involving Hereford youth,” says Bob Norton, BioZyme CEO. “Feed the Future was created to support the HYFA academic component, where education extends beyond the classroom. BioZyme firmly believes in activities and experiences that are engaging, relevant and expose our young folks to new opportunities. The Hereford Fed Steer Shootout is such a program providing knowledge about the industry from a commercial perspective to perhaps a different audience than the show circuit.”

Since its inception, the BioZyme Feed the Future program has given back to youth education and research through dollars collected from the sale of VitaFerm® products. The program contributed $1 to HYFA for youth education and research for every bag/ tub of eligible BioZyme supplement any AHA member bought in 2018. Last year BioZyme donated $14,671 to HYFA through Feed the Future, and this year the program will now fully support the Fed Steer Shootout. “We think this is a great extension on top of the other sponsorship opportunities we’ve had with the Association,” says Jessica Judge, BioZyme marketing brand coordinator. “This is a great opportunity to bridge that gap between our experiences with junior nationals and in the showring to more of a commercial perspective.” Not only will participants enter steers in the contest, the new partnership will allow the NJHA to incorporate more educational components into the program as well.
In addition to the existing webpage and webinars offered to youth, participants can now learn from a series of educational e-blasts and curriculum. A Facebook group has also been created to update youth and their parents on the activities taking place at Gregory Feedlots. BioZyme is committed to outreach to encourage engagement and to support various organizations in stewardship and humanity. In particular, BioZyme is dedicated to the youth livestock industry and supports students and exhibitors through programs such as the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout. “One of the things that VitaFerm really values about our partnership with the AHA is how integrated we are,” says Ashley Fitzsimmons, BioZyme regional and partners in performance marketing manager. “We really feel that the culture of BioZyme fits really well with the culture of the AHA, and specifically within the youth programs.” Hereford.org
Celebrating Hereford Eminence Hall of Fame Recipients
Greg Shaw, Caldwell, Idaho; John Loewen, Waukomis, Okla.; Dale and Mary Barber, Channing, Texas; and Clifford and Barbara Copeland, Nara Visa, N.M., were inducted into the Hereford Hall of Fame during the American Hereford Association (AHA) Hereford Honorees Reception during the AHA Annual Meeting and Conference. The Hall of Fame award is presented annually and recognizes dynamic breeders who have influenced the advancement of the Hereford breed.
Greg Shaw A third-generation rancher, Greg Shaw has been a committed Hereford breeder from day one. The Shaw Hereford Ranch in Caldwell, Idaho, got its start in 1946 when Greg’s parents, Tom and Mary, selected a Hereford heifer as the foundation for the family’s herd. Ahead of their time, the family began collecting performance data in 1963. Greg officially joined the operation after graduating college in 1968 and got straight to work in bettering the herd. In cooperation with the University of Idaho, Greg, his wife, Cleo, and Tom started the Northwest Bull Test Center in 1969, the first performance
bull test center in the Northwest. That same year, Greg enrolled the Shaw Hereford Ranch cow herd in the AHA Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program, recording everything “by hand on good, old carbon-copy pages.” In 1988, the Shaw herd was divided into three. Greg and Cleo ventured out on their own and started Shaw Cattle Company while raising their three children Tucker, Sam and Jaime, while carrying on the tradition of producing reputable performance cattle. Greg’s commitment to the industry is supported by his multiple leadership roles and industry-wide recognition. He served as president of the AHA Board of Directors and was also a board member for the Idaho Cattlemen’s Association and the Idaho Purebred Council. During his time on the AHA Board, he served as chairman of the breed improvement committee when Whole Herd TPR was implemented. In 2016, Shaw Cattle Company was recognized as the Beef Improvement Federation Seedstock Producer of the Year, an honor to an outfit that “prides itself on selling commercial bulls from a real-world cow herd.” Willard Wolf states, “As an American Hereford Field rep for the Western states, I worked with Greg 33 years. I
have continued to work with the Shaw family for the past 16 years. Greg is a great guy that gives his all to the Shaw operation, Shaw family, Hereford breed and the cattle industry.”
John Loewen With more than 60 years of experience, John Loewen got his start in the registered business after receiving his first registered female as a wedding gift from his father-in-law and long-time Hereford breeder, Harold V. Hunter. The two worked together running the HVH herd in Waukomis, Okla., for many years. John and his wife, Mona, now operate the ranch under Loewen Herefords and have stayed true to raising “curve-bending cattle with carcass merit.” John is regarded as a disciplined breeder and a mentor by his peers and is recognized for his “preservation and advancement” of the breed. His dedication to breeding Hereford cattle that fit the needs of the commercial industry is only outshined by his passion for service. John was a member of the AHA board of directors and served as chairman of the Certified Hereford Beef ® Board and also served on the Hereford Youth Foundation of continued on page 46...

As AHA Vice President Joel Birdwell states in his letter of recommendation, “More important than all of John’s accomplishments professionally and in his cattle operation, John is a man of faith, integrity and honesty.”
Dale and Mary Barber There’s a saying in the Texas Panhandle that if you wear a pair of boots there long enough to wear out the soles, you’ll never leave. This has held true for Dale and Mary Barber, owners
and operators of Barber Ranch, a 114-year-old operation located in Channing, Texas. Barber Ranch’s roots trace back to a commercial horned Hereford cow herd Mary’s grandfather started in 1904. Mary’s dad replaced the commercial cows with registered ones in 1950, and the family’s vision for raising the best Hereford cattle possible has remained steadfast as the industry has evolved. Dale grew up on a commercial Hereford ranch in the Hill Country of Texas. He graduated from veterinary school at Texas A&M University and then joined the Air Force as an officer. Dale met Mary soon after graduating vet school and they got married. Shortly after, they moved to Channing to take over the ranch.
Barber Ranch was a pioneer in blending both horned and polled genetics and producing popular pedigrees. The pedigree of the program’s most influential cow, Gabrielle, can be found throughout herds all across the U.S. Dale and Mary are also huge supporters of the National Junior Hereford Association. Their four children, Brett, Justin, Jason and Terri, have all grown up to become leaders in the Hereford business and are still involved in the ranch in some capacity. The Barber Ranch prefix has been on countless national champions over multiple decades. The prominence of their visionary breeding philosophy continues to be a dominant force at all competitive national sales and shows. Good friend Lloyd Whitehead says, “I could write a book on all that has been accomplished for the Hereford breed by this couple.”
Clifford and Barbara Copeland Raising quality Hereford cattle has always been a family affair for both Clifford and Barbara. Clifford’s parents and grandfather acquired a Hereford herd in the 1940s and started what was then known as Jack Copeland and Sons Hereford Ranch. Nestled just north of Nara Visa, N.M., five

generations of Copelands have since called the ranch home. Clifford and Barbara met showing cattle at the New Mexico State Fair, and in 1959 they assumed management of the Copeland family ranch. Fast forward, Copeland & Sons Herefords LLC now has two divisions and is home to more than 500 cows. Three generations of Copelands work on the ranch today — Clifford and Barbara; their son Cliff and his wife Pat; and their son, Matt. This year marked the ranch’s 75th anniversary. Clifford and Barbara note that Cliff, Pat and Matt have been vital in preserving the family legacy. The operation hosts an annual bull sale in the spring and females in the fall. On the ranch’s 50th anniversary in 1993, the Copelands hosted the New Mexico Junior Hereford field day and Governor Bruce King declared the day as Hereford Day in New Mexico to help celebrate. Clifford and Barbara have devoted decades of leadership to the breed. They have both served as advisers for the New Mexico Junior Hereford Association. Barbara saw through the formation of the American Hereford Auxiliary and was a charter member of the Auxiliary. Past AHA president, Phil Harvey Jr., says, “I’m deeply honored to nominate Clifford and Barbara Copeland as they have not only have been outstanding Hereford breeders and ranchers but untiring, enthusiastic and loyal Hereford promoters and supporters all their lives.” Hereford.org
George Inducted to Hall of Merit
The AHA honored Jay George of Lebo, Kan., as the newest member of the Hereford Hall of Merit, a prestigious award which commends those who have played an avid role in shaping the Hereford breed and cattle industry. George was recognized at the AHA Hereford Honorees Reception during the AHA Annual Meeting and Conference. Described as a “true marketeer,” George has covered the entire spectrum of livestock marketing throughout his 40-year career. Raised on his family’s Hereford ranch in Lebo, George was active in 4-H and FFA showing and judging livestock. He continued to be involved in the livestock industry at Kansas State University (K-State), where he
competed on the livestock and meats judging teams, served as the president of the Block & Bridle club and worked at the Purebred Beef Barn. After graduating with a degree in animal science in 1973, George worked as a fieldman for the AHA, covering the Dakotas and Upper Midwest territories. During his 10 years with the AHA, he developed skills as a marketer and photographer, and many “JG” photos have since graced the covers of breed journals, livestock publications and national ad campaigns. In 1984, he joined United Livestock Brokers, Inc., where his ahead-of-the-curve breeder marketing programs introduced the newest tools and data available for genetic selection. George served as the Tri-State Livestock News director of field services and was on the board of directors for the Central States Fair and Black Hills Stock Show. He played a major role in initiating the Black Hills Stock Show Hall of Fame, Foundation and the pen bull and commercial heifer shows. George moved back to his family’s Kansas ranch in 2008 after 30 years in Rapid City, S.D. He continues United Livestock Brokers sales management, is an active partner in the family cow-calf operation and pursues his own Santa Fe Ranch performance Quarter Horse breeding program. “George is a true believer in whitefaced cattle,” Bob Harrell says. “He has committed his life to the promotion and betterment of the breed.”

Bayers Hereford Ranch Honored
for a Century of Success I
n celebration of 100 years in the Hereford business, the Bayers family of Bayers Hereford Ranch, Twin Bridges, Mont., was recognized for their commitment to the breed as a Century Breeder Oct. 26 during the American Hereford Association (AHA) Hereford Honorees Reception in Kansas City, Mo. “Being recognized as a Century Breeder is a tremendous feat for a family operation,” says Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president. “The AHA congratulates the Bayers family on this accomplishment, and applauds them on years of dedication and hard work within the Hereford breed.” Bayers Hereford Ranch was established in 1918 by Art and Elizabeth
Bayers in Lavina, starting the family’s 100-year journey in the registered Hereford business. In the early to mid1930s, the family moved to a ranch near Twin Bridges which came with a beautiful, three-story round barn famous for raising Montana’s only Kentucky Derby winner, Spokane. Years later, the barn became just as famous for raising and selling registered Herefords. In 1953, Art and Elizabeth’s son, Byron, married Pauline Oberg and they raised three children — Rich, Kathy and Jill — who were all actively involved in the ranch through the 1980s. In 1997, their daughter, Jill, and her husband, Marc, along with Byron and Pauline formed the publication Hereford America.

Byron served on the AHA Board in the 1970s and was elected president in 1976. He attended World Hereford Conferences in Canada and Uruguay and went to Hungary to act as an AHA consultant in selecting Herefords. In 2009, he was the recipient of the Canadian Hereford Ambassador Award, and was inducted into the Hereford Heritage Hall of Fame in 2017 — an honor for the entire family. During its history, the ranch produced more than 25,000 purebred Herefords, selling cattle to buyers from 38 states within the U.S. as well as to Mexico, Canada, Hungary and Zimbabwe. Bayers sold much of the herd in 1990 but eventually built a herd of about 100 cows. The majority of this second herd was sold a few years ago, but once again, Byron hung onto a few head and rebuilt. Sadly, Both Byron and Pauline have passed away, but the family continues to carry on the ranch and its traditions. The family still owns a small herd of registered Herefords and small herd of commercial Hereford cows.

Bill King, Moriarity, N.M., started his Hereford herd in 1968 as a junior in high school with the purchase of three heifers from Marshall Sellman. Over the years he has grown his herd to more than 400 head of registered Hereford cattle, along with an extensive Charolais and Angus seedstock herd. He sells 400-500 registered bulls annually through private treaty nationwide and internationally. He is a past president of the AHA Board of Directors and currently serves on the Hereford Legacy Fund LLC board. Bill has served the cattle industry on many other boards. He was president of the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association and the New Mexico Livestock Board, was on the executive board of the Texas Cattle Feeders Association, and was a National Cattlemen’s Beef Association regional vice president. In 2016, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture appointed Bill to the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, on which he is still serving. Today, he and his family continue the business and hope to stay in the cattle business for the next 100 years.
Clarence Boettcher, Fairchild, Wis., bought his first polled Hereford in 1967 and joined the AHA in 1968. Clarence and Maryellen were married in 1972 and have four children — Tiffany, Brandon, Garritt and Michael. All of the Boettcher children participated in 4-H, FFA and junior Hereford associations, and graduated college with degrees in agriculture. All of them still own Herefords originating from their junior projects. The Boettcher’s mission is to produce performance cattle with eye appeal, and they strive to accomplish those goals by selecting structurally correct and functionally sound cattle with balanced expected progeny differences (EPDs) with the ability to generate profits for all segments of the beef industry.
Simpson Polled Herefords Mike and Becky Simpson, Redfield, Iowa, got their start in the Hereford cattle business at a young age. Both had the fortune to exhibit and be around several state and national champions. Mike was an employee of the American Polled Hereford Association (APHA). His most notable achievement was developing the National Junior Polled Heifer show and forum. While working at the APHA, he met his wife, Becky, who was a writer for APHA and the Polled Hereford World. The Simpson herd has been developed with performance listed as top priority. The Simpsons focus on Hereford.org

Dams of Distinction and have marketed and sold thousands of polled Hereford cattle across Kentucky, Tennessee and several other states. Nearly 66 years later, the cow-calf operation currently consists of nearly 200 head of purebred polled Herefords.
KLS Farm Kevin and Kathy Stork are owners and operators of KLS Farm, New Richmond, Wis. Kevin received his first polled Hereford steer in 1965. He showed him in 1966 and sold him that fall for $0.25/lb. Kevin’s dad bought him two registered bred heifers and that was the start of the herd. Kevin recalls that when the APHA changed the AI rules so that breeders could register five calves per year by AI in 1968, he was afraid AI would wreck the bull market. In 1973, they showed the grand champion bull at the Wisconsin and Minnesota state fairs. The bull, Banner Diamond, elevated his show career by being a class winner in Denver with four Beartooth Ranch bulls in competing in that class. That was the highlight of Kevin’s early show career.
Today KLS Farm has 40 registered polled Hereford cows and 30 Angus cows. Many things have changed, but good, productive, functional cows that are eye appealing are what they seek.
McDonald Polled Hereford Mike McDonald, Jane Lew, W.Va., has been raising Herefords since he was 9 years old. His father, William P. McDonald Jr., and his grandfather, Paul, purchased the operation from the in 1967. They registered their first calf in 1968 and the WPM prefix was born. Mike began showing 4-H Hereford steers later that year and has been active in the breed since. The McDonald family has always enjoyed promoting the breed. Mike’s father was active in starting the West Virginia Polled Hereford Association in the late 1960s, and as a current board director, Mike continues to help the association. He dedicates a large sum of his time assisting many local breeders in marketing their Herefordinfluenced calves. He also supports the Certified Hereford-Influenced Feeder Calf Sale in Stanford, Ky., by getting a pot load of calves each year. Mike and his companion, Becky, love helping the grandkids get involved in the Hereford business. They enjoy teaching them the everyday activities of beef cattle farming and have assisted them with participating in the last five Junior National Hereford Expos.

Baker Polled Herefords, Elkhorn, Wis., has been home to Paul and Sylvia, and their children Bob, Mike and Bev, since 1963. Bob and Mike purchased the family’s first registered heifers as 4-H and FFA projects in 1968.
The Bakers showed at local, state and national shows, and Bev served as the Wisconsin Hereford Queen. The goal of Baker Polled Herefords is to raise seedstock that will work in and adapt to any environment. Their herd consists of 25 registered brood cows which are enrolled in the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program. Several generations of offspring have been recognized as Dams of Distinction out of their home-raised RB 29F 002 Right Now 630S herd sire. AI bulls are used to complement their bloodlines, and stress is placed on structural correctness, balanced EPDs, longevity, calving ease and disposition. The family also raises replacement females and breeding bulls and finishes their steers for quality beef.
Marshall and Linda Walker The late Marshall Walker was born to nonfarming parents in Oroville, Calif. He was passionate about horses and cattle and acquired experience through ranching jobs in his youth. He joined the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict but was discharged due to a service-related injury. He took a job in Red Bluff, Calif., where he met his wife, Linda, and they had two kids — Laurel and Scott. When the Wilson Brothers, Orland, Calif., dispersed their registered polled herd in 1966, Marshall came home with his first registered cows. He raised bulls for local commercial herds and consigned bulls to several sales in the area. He used AI and studied pedigrees to see which bulls would work best on his cows, with DR World Class 517 10H being his final AI bull. He was a director of the Tehama County Farm Bureau, a past president of the Northern-Cal Appaloosa Association and the director of the Tehama County Cattlemen’s Association. Marshall died on April 6, 2017, at age 82 after a 10-year battle with Parkinson’s Disease. His brand, the MW bar, is on his headstone. He is survived by his wife, Linda, of Los Molinos, son Scott of Pleasanton, Calif., daughter, Laurel of Los Molinos, and three grandchildren.

Hereford Youth Awarded in
NJHA Fed Steer Shootout Contest I
n its second year, the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout presented 19 awards to 15 Hereford youth. “We are excited to award these Hereford youth who participated in the 2018 NJHA Fed Steer Shootout,” says Trey Befort, AHA director of commercial programs. “The program doubled in size in its second year, and we expect the program to continue to grow and give junior members an opportunity to gain valuable industry experience. Growing involvement in programs such as the Fed Steer Shootout is a great testament to the energy around the Hereford breed in the commercial industry, as well as the investment being made to advance youth programs.” This year, 37 youth from 13 states entered 149 steers in the Fed Steer Shootout program.

Crays Recognized as
Hereford Woman of the Year
Sheila Crays was joined by her daughters when she received the 2018 Hereford Woman of the Year honor. Pictured (l to r) are: Linda McKay, Sheila Crays and Stephanie Jensen.
S
heila Crays, Tobias, Neb., was honored as Hereford Woman of the Year during the National Hereford Women (NHW) annual meeting in Kansas City, Mo. The award is presented each year to a noteworthy member of the NHW to commemorate her achievements, leadership, promotion and dedication to the Hereford breed. A dedicated member of the NHW since the early 1980s, Sheila has volunteered countless hours of her time supporting the membership and
improving the organization. She served on the Nebraska Poll-ettes board for many years as the secretary/treasurer and vice president and was the queen chairman for four years. She supported all three of her daughters — Stephanie, Linda and Clara — during their reign as Nebraska Pollette Queen, as well as Clara’s reign as National Hereford Queen. Sheila’s love for Hereford youth and the breed prompted her to serve as the state adviser for several years with her husband, Don. A talented cook, she always made the Nebraska
Junior Show’s Friday night meal enjoyable by making and donating sloppy joes. Her organizational skills ensured the weekend’s programs and events ran smoothly. Additionally, Sheila’s work in helping prepare and decorate the banquet hall of the hospitality booth at the 1990 National Junior Polled Hereford Show made the event successful. She continued assisting with the hospitality booth at the 2012, 2014 and 2018 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). Still strong supporters of the Hereford breed, Sheila and Don can be found attending sales, tours and fairs in Nebraska and Kansas. Sheila enjoys watching her grandchildren show and compete in activities, and she always has her camera ready to take pictures of all the action. Sheila and Don attended JNHE in Grand Island, Neb., this year to watch their grandchildren compete in various events. They enjoyed reconnecting with friends of the Hereford family from across the United States and look forward to staying involved in the years to come. “Sheila Crays is very deserving of this award,” says NHW board member Trudy Nolles. “She is a dedicated individual for the Hereford breed and to the Hereford family. Sheila is always willing to lend a helping hand no matter what the event is.”

The End Is Only
the Beginning I
t is hard to believe that a year ago I was coming home with a new, shiny crown, the crown box and the white Hereford queen banner. I had continuously studied and practiced for months to prepare myself for the competition in which I was about to partake, and all of my hard work paid off. I had finally reached my goal — my dream — of becoming the next National Hereford Queen. Now, a year later, I sit writing my last National Hereford Queen article. I sit and reflect on the past year I have spent serving as the National Hereford Queen. All the memories of waking up early to get to the show arena to set up awards or all the late evenings trying to take that last backdrop photo. There was even the time I was delayed in Chicago for two hours the night before the junior show in Denver, then running on three hours of sleep. These are all memories which have kept the National Hereford Queen position interesting during my reign, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. I traveled to all of the national Hereford shows, including the North American International Livestock Expo, the Western States Hereford Show, the National Western Stock Show, the Fort Worth Stock Show and the Keystone International Livestock Expo, and back to Kansas City to pass off the crown at the American Royal. I also attended the Junior National Hereford Expo, which was held in Grand Island, Neb. While in Grand Island, I got to share Bundt cakes with family, friends and the future of our queen program, and I had a very successful queen basket and service project, which I called Herefords Helping Heroes. Not only did I attend national shows, but I had the opportunity to help represent my state by attending Buckeye Hereford events. I was even given the chance to attend Boyd’s Beef Cattle annual Hereford sale and Perks annual sale and mature cow dispersal. Hereford.org
During my time of serving, I have made so many great connections and lifelong friendships that have had a huge influence on my life. I went from not knowing my place in this organization to being part of the biggest family. When people say the Hereford organization is nothing but a large family, that is not a lie, and I have had the great honor to serve this family for the last year. I have become a role model for young juniors, just as past queens were for me. Spending so much time with Bailey Clanton and the junior board, I have come to feel like a younger sibling to them. These are the connections you can’t find anywhere else. I can walk through the cattle barn and spend hours talking to breeders from all states. I know I will always have these people in my life. This experience is one I won’t soon forget. I am forever blessed that I had the opportunity to serve the Hereford breed this past year. This breed and organization have been nothing but amazing to my family and me. Now that the road of royalty has come to an end, I know this is only the beginning to the next chapter in my life. Being National Hereford Queen has opened up so many doors and opportunities for me in the future, and I look forward to the path I will travel next. — Abbygail Pitstick, 2018 National Hereford Queen December 2018 |

2018 AHA Annual Meeting and American Royal Coverage
A Year to Remember Emily Meinhardt selected as the 2018-19 National Hereford Queen. by Kayla Jennings
I
t is show day in Kansas, and sounds of cattle, clippers and blowers fill the air. The occasional booming laugh from a dad rings out among the murmur, and somewhere in the mix there is a group of giddy young Hereford ladies anxiously awaiting show time. With bows in their hair, sure to fall out three times before even making it to the showring, these young ladies have found a best friend in their state Hereford queen. Little did they know their leader would soon trade her crown for a bigger one. Emily Meinhardt, Marysville, Kan., was crowned as the 2018-19 National Hereford Queen during the 2018 American Royal National Hereford Show in Kansas City, Mo. She is the 20-year-old daughter of Bryndon and Julie Meinhardt and is a junior at Kansas State (K-State) University. Emily has three siblings, Bryson (18), Rylie (13) and William (11). At K-State, she is studying agricultural communications and journalism with minors in animal sciences and industry and leadership studies. Additionally, she is active in Block and Bridle and in Kappa Alpha Theta as the chief learning officer. She maintains two internships with the Kansas Department of Agriculture and the K-State Animal Sciences and Industry Department. As a member of her state association and the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA), she has been competitive in the showring, has participated in the photography contest and has taken part in the queen’s tea.

Emily will spend the next year in her new role as the face of the Hereford breed and an agricultural advocate setting a positive example for young women. “I’m so excited to start my journey as the National Hereford Queen,” Meinhardt says. “Though I have only been involved with the program for a short amount of time, I have always looked up to the queens as role models, and I hope I can do that for someone else.”
Igniting a passion Emily finds true joy in setting an example for not only Hereford youth but also her own siblings. In her journey to the crown, she has paved a path worth traveling. Her passion for agriculture drove her to participate in 4-H, where she and her siblings showed cattle at local and state shows. Once she reached high school, she was quick to join her local FFA chapter and to pursue an opportunity to grow her school’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) organization. She also stayed competitive playing volleyball throughout her time in Marysville. Even with numerous activities on her plate, Emily knew she wanted to be a part of something more. While her family owns a farm equipment business in Kansas, she did not grow up directly involved in production agriculture. “I envied the people that could say they were third generation farmers or ranchers and things like that, so I just started surrounding myself with those
kinds of people and learning from them,” she explains. “I connected with the McKay family through my friendship with Seth. After he passed away, Grant, Linda and Bailey started taking me to shows with them. They recognized my interest in cattle, and they have shared their knowledge with me. The McKay’s have given my siblings and me an opportunity to show, and we all work hard to honor Seth’s memory.” In just four years, her passion for the breed has grown immensely. She has started to raise her own herd, using her first show heifer for its foundation. Fortunately for her siblings, they reap the benefits of showing those calves and will for years to come, as Emily looks forward to continuing to expand her herd. Among one of her favorite moments showing Hereford cattle is her youngest brother William’s big win at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Grand Island, Neb., this past summer. As she tells it, her brother was not too sure about the cattle business, but after some encouragement from her and the McKay family, he was eager to hit the showring with his steer. The leap of faith was worth it in this case, as he hung champion honors in the steer show. “That was just really cool, because this is his first year showing,” Emily recalls. “I got to see him grow within the breed and see my sister help him, too. It was a family effort for all of that, and it was so exciting to see his passion for the breed begin like that.” William is looking forward to his next Hereford calf. For Emily, though, the joy is not in the banner but in the opportunity to share her own passion and to see it flourish within her brother. These relationships are what make it all worthwhile. Emily credits several role models for their part in growing her passion and excitement for not only Hereford cattle but also the agriculture industry. Angie Denton, her supervisor at K-State, has served as one of her biggest supporters in the Hereford breed and during school, and other young ladies like Brooke Jensen and Taylor Belle Matheny inspired her to seek the opportunity to serve as a Hereford queen. Foundationally, she credits the Hereford.org
McKay family of Marysville for fueling her desire to get where she is today. Bailey McKay’s involvement in the NJHA board showed Emily the larger scope of the organization and gave her the desire to pursue representing the breed on a national level. Lastly, Emily says she would not be who she is today without the love and support from her family. “The cool thing about my experience is I got to pick the Hereford breed,” she comments. “I get to learn as much as I want. I wasn’t born and raised into it.” Emily has taken every opportunity to soak in each experience afforded her. Among the many, one of the most rewarding to this point was serving as a state queen. In that role she has held tightly to the reality that showing is much more than which calf goes to the backdrop; it is about the memories made. This philosophy has served her well during her reign in Kansas. “Maybe you were last in your class or maybe you were first. It is about that, but it is also about making the friendships, the bonds and the memories with everyone,” she notes. “I always try to interact with the kids at all times and have them help me in any way they can. Even though I might not be in my attire, they still look up to me. I think it’s really important just to be there when you can.” This philosophy rings true outside the showring, too. Emily enjoys the opportunity to attend producer tours and meetings. For her, it is not just one component that makes it worthwhile, but it is instead the combination of it all. All these reasons culminated in her decision to run for the National Hereford Queen. “I still enjoy going to all the shows because of being a role model to kids,” she explains. “I think that’s something the queen really stands for, because every little girl wants to wear that crown someday. It’s something they look up to, so that’s someone I try to be for little girls.” In fact, Emily glows with excitement hearing stories of the girls she has influenced already looking to be a queen in a few years. An agricultural communicator at heart, she truly lives for the stories of future, current and past Hereford breeders. The rich history is one reason this Association is so near and dear to her heart.
Excitement for the future From her first heifer to now, Emily has experienced immense growth as a young Hereford.org

Hereford breeder, but she knows the best is yet to come. She could not have predicted years ago she would be wearing the traditional white attire and crown with the National Hereford Queen sash, but she cannot be more grateful to wear the sash for the next year. “I am really excited to be able to be a role model to a lot of girls that I haven’t even met yet,” she says with a grin. “I am also excited to represent all the heritage of the breed that’s been passed down year to year. A couple weeks ago, I got to go ride around with a family, and see how they’ve poured their livelihood into this and all the past genetics. Knowing I get to represent this breed is such an honor. I look forward to trying to represent it in the most positive light that I can.” As Emily begins her reign as the National Hereford Queen, the queen’s tea and the service project are already on her radar. She hopes the tea is not only a time for interaction among young Hereford ladies but also an opportunity to give back in a big way to youth outside the Hereford breed. Collectively, Emily offers advice she hopes those younger will take stock in.
“Follow your passion,” she says. “There is a quote that says, ‘You are the average of the five people you surround yourself with,’ so surround yourself with people who want to achieve great things.” She has followed her own advice by latching onto the Hereford family. “I think what’s really unique about the Hereford breed is just how progressive we are in genetics, but also with our youth and making them be the best leaders that they can, which I always really enjoyed focusing on,” she says. “It’s a great breed to be a part of because of that. I just think the life the Hereford breed has within the industry is really unique and something to be proud of.” Beyond her year in this role, Emily is excited to make her mark on the Hereford family, and she can’t wait to foster passion in young members, much like she received from others just a few short years ago. “I was welcomed into the breed with open arms, and everyone was just so loving and caring and willing to make my experience meaningful,” she recalls. “They gave me the chance I never thought I would get the opportunity to have and I am so thankful.”

Following the winding Wise River through the Pioneer Mountains into the Big Hole yields encounters with wildlife and the locals who inhabit the small mountain community of Wise River, Mont. On the way out of town, nestled back in the mountains off the blacktop, sits a rich piece of the area’s history — Rafter Ranch.
A look back
The Rafter Ranch is a source of quality cattle and timeless wisdom. by Kayla Jennings

| December 2018
Don and Liz Jones, owners and operators of the ranch, have held the reigns for the last 51 years. However, the history spans far beyond the last half century. Don’s grandpa, Walter Jones, homesteaded nearby in the late 1890s after heading west from his family’s farming operation in Iowa. He and his brother took a train to Missoula, Mont., then hopped on high-wheel bicycles to continue the excursion. However, the adventure of more than 100 miles came to a screeching halt in Wisdom, Mont., after a wheel was bent on a rocky trail. Because of an especially riveting card game, the town blacksmith was too busy to fix the tire.
Hereford.org
This long-standing barn is part of the original homestead and is still in use today.
After Walter fixed his own tire, he and his brother decided Wisdom seemed like home. They ranched there for several years until Walter and his wife, Eva, moved back east in 1909. A Montana native, Eva quickly discovered that Iowa in the midst of summer was not ideal and told Walter, “I don’t know where you’re going, but I am going back to Montana!” The couple’s fondness for the mountains brought them back to Montana in 1910, where they purchased five acres and a home in Wise River —
and acquired more land as the years progressed. In fact, the original barn Walter built still towers over the headquarters. If those beams could talk, they would share the stories of Don’s childhood gathering large bands of sheep from the mountains to bring home. His family was very active in the sheep business before introducing Hereford cattle into the operation in the early ’40s — a result of legislation at the time restricting use of the forest for sheep. As time progressed, Don was drafted into the Army during the end of the war in Korea. After his deferment until September to finish making hay through the summer, he was stationed in Alaska. “They had these Air Force and Army bases, and I was in them,” Don explains. “I got into an engineering outfit up there. We made trucks, caps, patrols and everything like that for heavy equipment.” In addition, he worked to overhaul generators through their electrical section and performed routine maintenance on antiaircraft artillery gun sites. While he enjoyed the opportunity to serve his country, Don could not get back to the ranch soon enough. He knew from an early age his true passion lay across the rugged, beautiful landscape of Wise River. Not long after coming back, he and continued on page 74...

his wife, Liz, took over the operation and changed the name to what it is today. Don and Liz both have fond memories of those early years in the cattle business. “I can remember wrestling calves,” Don notes. “Then somebody would come in to rope and drag him up to the fire, a couple of kids would hold him, then castrate him and brand him and earmark him.” It wasn’t until the ’50s that the family purchased their first cattle chute to aid in processing cattle. Don says it took a rebuild, or two, for the perfect chute because technology was not as advanced in those days — but a lot has changed since then.
Focused on success With grandkids in the mix, this fifth-generation ranching operation has changed greatly since 1910. While Don and Liz still run a handful of Targhee, Columbia, South African Meat Merino (SAMM) and Dohne sheep, their primary focus is purebred horned Hereford and commercial cows. Rafter Ranch boasts more than 350 commercial Hereford cows, 50 registered cows and 50 registered Hereford bulls. Don and Liz will sometimes cross with Shorthorn cattle to promote hybrid vigor in the commercial herd while maintaining the red color. In addition to utilizing their flood-irrigated, privately owned property, they run cattle on a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) permit and two U.S. Forest Service Permits in the summer months. They trail cattle with a four-person crew and cow dogs to the BLM permit on June 1. After approximately a month there, they move the cattle to one of the two forest permits until September 30. “We try to run a bull for every 15 head, or sometimes a little less, because they can go for 39 miles on this forest permit,” Liz explains. “That is a lot of country to cover. They breed up well when they do that.” A two-month calving window is allotted from March to May for mature cows, and pregnancy tests

assure none are open. Open cows are culled, and there are seldom any late-calving females. In contrast, their heifer calves are restricted to a 40-day calving window. Since heifers calve in the meadow near the homeplace, a 40-day window is more manageable in case there are calving difficulties. Once a calf hits the ground, Rafter Ranch assures it has the best start to a productive life. “We paste the horns when we tag, give them a shot of multi-mineral and a 7-way,” Liz notes. Additionally, they vaccinate for pink eye and test potential bull prospects for high-altitude pulmonary hypertension — better known as brisket disease. Rafter Ranch turns a profit by exclusively selling steer calves at weaning or spayed yearling females. “We spay the heifers we have sorted off that we don’t want,” Liz notes. “Then the ones that are open in the fall after the vet tests them get spayed before going to a feeder.” Don adds, “We have a fellow buying them the last two to three years now. He sends them over to Washington — the feedlot over there. Every year they say, ‘get those heifers over here!’” Last year, Don and Liz sold their steer calves to someone from eastern Iowa who made it abundantly clear he wouldn’t buy the steer calves if they didn’t have the influence of Hereford genetics — not a problem for Rafter Ranch. Many customers appreciate the consistency in feeding and carcass quality found in Hereford-influenced cattle. “They are pretty consistent in the ribeye size,” Liz notes. “As a whole for overall average, Herefords provide a product more suitable for the plate.” In addition to selling cattle through feedyards, Don and Liz market commercial calves through the Montana Hereford Association. For their registered stock, they sell groups of females from time to time and market bulls private treaty each year. “We keep the bulls for five years then sell them,” Liz says. “We use the ones that are five this March on the BLM for 20 to 25 days. Then when we bring them in to go to the forest, we cull those out and sell them.” Because of the rough terrain on the permits, an increased emphasis is placed on feet and leg structure as well as overall longevity and disposition. Don and Liz have been pleased with the outcome of utilizing exclusively Hereford bulls to achieve this. “A lot of people who have never used a Hereford bull use one, and they can’t believe it,” Liz notes. Given the rugged environment, they aim to keep their bulls less than 2,000 lb. for ease in travel and covering cows. Cows are maintained at roughly 1,200 lb. “You have to think about what is efficient,” Liz says. “The Herefords are bigger than some other breeds, but something I look at is the salvage value of that cow as well. These cows can bring a lot, and it is good to have that, too. I think a moderate cow that has a 600- to 650-lb. calf is about right. That is what we try to strive for anyway.” Hereford.org
Their genetic foundation is built upon Line 1 Herefords and still maintains the same caliber of quality. Don remembers when they attended their first Cooper Hereford Ranch sale and bought their Line 1 herd bull for $1,800. Today, they raise most of their own bulls, but they also still purchase bulls periodically. Their primary source is Churchill Cattle Co., but they also still purchase bulls from the annual Cooper and Holden Herefords production sale. “I like Dale’s cattle,” Liz says of Churchill. “I think he does a great job with them, and he has got a good eye for cattle as well. Ultimately, he aims to have some bulls that work for the commercial cattleman.”
Selecting the future When selecting bull prospects at sales, as well as making decisions to retain cattle in the herd, Liz says there are several things to think about from a commercial and seedstock perspective. As participants in the American Hereford Associations’ Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program, Don and Liz see value in reflecting on records over the duration of the calves’ lives to make selection decisions. “I think if you are going to do a good job and you want to raise your own bull, you should participate in the program to make sure you are not just doing what you want to do,” Liz advises. “It is pretty important to make sure all of those cows and bulls are in the whole herd program. Otherwise, you are kind of guessing and you don’t know for sure if you should keep certain cows or not.” While all the data have value, Don and Liz place a heightened emphasis on lower birth weights, calving ease and milk. “We also put both yearling weights and weaning weights on the list since weaning weights are important because of selling calves as late as we calve,” Liz notes. “Yearling weights are important because we want to have heifers that are big enough to breed, and since the spay heifers go into the feedlots.” In tandem with analyzing data, Rafter Ranch places emphasis on phenotype and reproductive performance. “I think you have to do both,” Liz says. “You have to use records, but you also have to use some eye appeal. When selecting a herd bull, for example, you will look at indexes, but you have to get what you like phenotypically also.” For Don and Liz, depth of body, udder structure in females, style, and feet and leg structure are paramount. “It takes good feet and legs to make it in this country,” Liz quips. She is not exaggerating. While Wise River is beautiful, harsh winters are just one of many forces threatening Don and Liz’s operation. Liz recalls several fires near their place over the years and says these fires are becoming worse because of the spruce budworm infestation. Additionally, an increase in the predator population has been anything but positive for the Hereford.org
Rafter Ranch strives for moderately framed cows that can not only sustain a calf, but also have salvage value at sale time.
ranchers in the area. “It has been discouraging,” Liz notes. In addition to coyotes as a constant threat to young calves, the wolf population has also grown at an exponential rate. In fact, the ranch lost 10 calves last year to wolves alone. Despite all the challenges, this is a lifestyle Don and Liz would not trade for the world. In their lifetime of involvement in the industry and travel across the world studying cattle, they have learned a thing or two along the way. They have passed this wisdom to attendees of Hereford tours at their ranch, to junior members with whom they interacted when their two daughters were in the National Junior Hereford Association and showing cattle, and to the many visitors they have hosted. They are excited to have their daughter, Yvonne, back on the ranch and hope to see it continue to grow for a lifetime more with the same principal goals in mind. “You kind of aim to have the best cattle you can that are adequate and make you a living — just good cattle,” Don and Liz agree. “It’s a way of life.”
After five years, every bull is sold to ensure all bulls maintain the ability to cover cows in the rough climate. December 2018 |

T
he landmark yards at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) will host the red and white breed Jan. 16-19 for the 2019 National Hereford show in Denver. Herefords hit the Hill on Wednesday, Jan. 16, for the National Hereford Junior Show, with Todd Herman, Lima, Ohio, as judge. The following day, exhibitors will compete in the National Hereford Bull Show. Friday’s whirlwind of excitement begins in the Yards at 8 a.m. with the pen and carload shows, judged by John McCurry, Burrton, Kan.; Cody Sankey, Economy, Ind.; and Brent Meeks, Taylor, Neb. The highly anticipated Mile High Night Sale will take place at 6:30 p.m. that evening.
Mile High Night Top-notch Hereford cattle are set to take to the auction block Friday evening at the can’t-miss Mile High Night National Hereford Sale. Hard work and collaboration from American Hereford Association (AHA) staff and volunteers ensure the event is a high point of the week. “The Mile High Night National Hereford Sale is a pinnacle feature of the National Western,” says Joe Rickabaugh, AHA director of field management and seedstock marketing. “This year’s sale promises to be another good one. The success of this sale is credited to the consignors who bring curve-bending genetics, along with the buyers, bidders and cattle enthusiasts of
all breeds who flood the Stadium floor for the sale.” This year’s sale will showcase 35 lots with 35 consignors. This year’s leading lady — the Lot 1 Foundation Female — is LCC 6964 Queen Bee 43F ET (reg. no. P43923236) donated by the Lowderman Cattle Co., Macomb, Ill., and Michelini Cattle Co., Peru, Ill. The April 5, 2018, heifer is a daughter of R Leader 6964. All proceeds from the Foundation Female support the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and the Growing a Lasting Legacy campaign which supports leadership and education for the next generation. “It is with great pleasure that we offer the 2019 HYFA Foundation Female lot,” says Cody Lowderman of
Lowderman Cattle Co. “We are truly humbled to have the opportunity to support such a great organization and cause as the Hereford Youth Foundation of America.” Over the course of a decade, Lot 1 has generated more than $770,000 to support youth initiatives, with last year’s foundation female bringing $80,000. “We would like to thank the Lowdermans and Michelinis for donating an incredible female to feature as the 2019 Lot 1 Foundation Female, and for their continued generosity and support of Hereford youth,” says Amy Cowan, AHA director of youth activities and the foundation. See more details about the Foundation Female on Page 12.

2019 HERDSMAN CANDIDATES: Alyssa Fee
Copeland and Sons Herefords LLC Holding the title of herdsman for more than four years at Copeland and Sons Herefords LLC, Nara Visa, N.M., Alyssa Fee has been instrumental in the operation’s success. Alyssa came on board at Copeland and Sons after graduating from Tennessee Technological University in 2014 with a bachelor’s degree in agriculture and a concentration in animal science. She has since managed and helped with numerous division winners and reserve champions at the NWSS, Fort Worth Stock Show (FWSS) and Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). Her skills in managing and fitting show cattle were made evident by the outfit being named premier breeder at both the NWSS and FWSS in 2015 and again in 2018. Hereford.org
Growing up on her family’s small farm in Jackson, Tenn., Alyssa always had a passion for being with animals — particularly cattle, horses and dogs. She began showing Angus cattle early on and was mentored by Woolfolk Farms, Jackson, for many years. She ended up showing Herefords and hasn’t looked back since. Alyssa has also been involved in numerous professional organizations, and served as the state vice president of the Tennessee FFA Association and as the vice president of the Tennessee Junior Polled Hereford Association. She was named JNHE state junior of the year in 2013. Her drive and attention to detail exemplify the true makings of a herdsman, and the Copeland family is proud work alongside Alyssa on the ranch and in the show barn. continued on page 2...

ShowTime Cattle Co. Jeff Koch is the co-owner of ShowTime Cattle Co. located in Mooreland, Ind. He and Jill Blake started ShowTime Cattle Company in 2006. Jeff is involved in all aspects of the business — making breeding decisions, traveling to shows across the country, marketing cattle, providing one-on-one educational sessions to customers, finding the next great investment and even completing daily chores. Jeff grew up on a Hereford farm and showed Hereford cattle competitively. After attending Purdue University he returned to work on his family farm. He strives to breed cattle that are equally as competitive in the show ring as they are valuable donor cows and herd sires. Just as important to Jeff is developing and educating youth, and his teachings, support and encouragement to juniors are unparalleled. Jeff has been blessed to have some of the truly great Hereford cattlemen as mentors. Being nominated as one of the finalists for the 2019 Hereford Herdsman of the Year award is a memorable and great honor to him.
Matt Scasta
Buck Cattle Co. Matt Scasta has been with the Buck Cattle Company, Madill, Okla., for more than 22 years and is considered part of the Buck family. Not only is Matt talented at preparing show cattle, but he is also a great cowman and is quite skilled in construction and mechanics, as well. Much of Buck Cattle Company’s success can be attributed to Matt. He takes pride in everything he does, whether it be clipping cattle, fitting for a show or building a fence. On a typical show day, he can be found working nonstop at the stalls — and many times he never sees the show ring. He is humble when it comes to his accomplishments; still, Buck Cattle Company is proud to say Matt has worked on almost 90 grand or reserve champions at national shows including the NWSS, FWSS, American Royal, North American International Livestock Expo (NAILE), National Junior Maine-Anjou Show and the JNHE. Matt Scasta is a loyal employee, great partner, terrific husband and father and an all-around outstanding guy. Buck Cattle Company notes how very fortunate they are to have Matt Scasta heading up their operation.
at Texas majors as well as at national events throughout his junior career. In 2004 Zach’s bred-and-owned heifer was selected champion Angus female at the NWSS. An expansive program, Hoffman Ranch has exhibited many national champions with Zach’s assistance, including the 2018 national champion carload and the 2018 national junior show polled Hereford champion female. A true cowman and workaholic, Zach may spend one day horseback checking pastures and the next processing calves in the feed yard, but his days always start and end in the show barn.
Jacob Wolfrey
Grimmel Girls Show Cattle Jacob Wolfrey of Jarrettsville, Md., owns and operates Grimmel Girls Show Cattle with his wife, Michelle, and sister-in-law, Melissa Grimmel Schaake. He grew up raising and showing Angus cattle and went on to assist many large Angus and Hereford outfits before joining Grimmel Girls in 2010. Jacob has a keen eye for selecting sound and functional cattle that perform throughout all areas of the country. He has led the Grimmel Girls program to claiming many national titles including those at the NWSS, NAILE, JNHE and Keystone International Livestock Expo (KILE). Most notably, Jacob played an integral part in taking the 2016 NWSS grand champion polled female honor, along with several show heifer and show bull of the year awards. Grimmel Girls utilizes intensive embryo transfer (ET) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs in both their Maryland and Kansas locations, where they breed, raise and market their genetics through online sales every fall and spring. They take pride in raising and selling Hereford cattle that are not only successful in the show ring, but more importantly in production. Since their first online sale in March 2016, they have sold cattle and genetics to customers in more than 20 states plus Canada. Jacob thoroughly enjoys working with their customers and providing a great and successful experience.
Zach Wells
Hoffman Ranch While black may run in his blood, Zach Wells of Thedford, Neb., has broadened his horizon and has taken to the Hereford breed in a big way. Now working on his sixth year with Hoffman Ranch, this Texas native was a natural in the show barn, learning from his father, Tom, a past Angus and Chianina herdsman of the Year. Starting with his first Angus Junior National in Tulsa, Okla., in 1999, Zach exhibited Angus and Red Angus heifers

Welcome to the 113th National Western Stock Show and the “Mile High Night” National Hereford Sale. The powerful showing of Herefords on the Hill and in the Yards has captured the attention of many cattlemen regardless of their breed loyalty. The “Mile High Night Sale” hosted on the stadium floor is a spectacle to behold. The Hereford breed returned the National Hereford Sale to the stadium floor in 2013 and the six sales since have been the talk of the National Western. Last year’s sale was an epic event. The Mile High Night lots are uniquely special and offer some rare opportunities only found in a sale of this caliber. This headliner sale offers a superior selection of genetics from elite Hereford operations in North America — bulls, females and herd picks. We want to thank Lowderman Cattle Company, Macomb, Ill., and Michelini Cattle Co., Peru, Ill., for donating the Lot 1 Foundation Female. Lot 1 is a powerful female that has the genetics to be a leading donor for many Hereford operations. She is a great female. We look forward to seeing you in Denver. If you can’t make it to Denver the sale will be broadcast on LiveAuctions.TV. Feel free to contact us with any questions or for additional information. All the Best, American Hereford Association

• DeLHawk Gisella 83F is a June, polled female sire by B&C Stock Option 6026D, the 2018 NWSS Supreme Champion. Her dam, MF 914W About Yasmine 104Y, has been a mainstay in the DeLHawk line-up. She has produced many national division winners, along with the 2018 $80,000 HYFA donation heifer. When we decided to offer a female in this sale, our initial thought was to offer one of our first Stock Option daughters. This heifer rose to the top of an extremely deep and powerful sire group. In our opinion, she is the complete package - great profiling, bold centered, stout hipped, and sound traveling. Gisella sets the bar high and will be extremely competitive in the ring while offering plenty of genetic potency in production.

• This bull could have a huge Impact on your breeding program! He offers new polled genetics, incredible numbers, the very best in maternal, and amazing look! • Impact is a polled 5/8 Line One and is a logical choice to breed to daughters of About Time, Catapult, 88X, Leader, Tested, Red Bull and 2296. Many polled breeders are looking for some new blood- Impact offers it! His sire 6128 topped the respected Cooper bull sale at $155,000 two years ago. With his first calf crop 6128 has established himself as a performance leader. • EPDs are in the top 1% for WW, YW, SC, CW, REA, and CHB! When he was genetically enhanced his growth went through the roof and it took his BW with it. But if you have females under 4 BW, he will provide the strength of numbers many breeders need. • Impact’s dam is one of the best cows in the breed for genomically enhanced EPDs and in natural production. Her first two natural calves both sold for over $20,000! You don’t see that very often in today’s world! She has a terrific udder. Her dam was a Denver Champion Female and 4437 won the cow calf show at the NILE as a two year old. The dam of 6128 is highly regarded as one of the best Line One cows in history! • Impact is wide based, huge barrelled, balanced in his structure, clean made, thick from end to end, and perfectly colored and marked. He had an actual BW of 88 lb. and weighed 819 lb. at 205 days. • Opportunity is knocking with this bull. Be bold and open the door! • Selling one half interest. Semen packages of 20 straws with 10 AI certificates will be offered before the Mile High Night Sale for $2,500. The buyer will receive one half of the proceeds from these packages. No other semen will be offered in the spring of 2019. Contact Dale Venhuizen for details and to be put on this semen list. • See Impact in the Yards in the Churchill pen or contact us for an updated video.

• 76S may not be as well known around the country as some of our cows, but here at the ranch she’s regarded as one of our best! You won’t find a better udder and her progeny are highly valued udder improvers. She is the dam of our top brood cow making sire, Beef 38W and NJW Long Range 203D who was Supreme Champion Bull NILE 2018 and NJW Salute who is a herd sire for Mohican West, We are super high on our Whitmore’s here and have three outstanding flushmates to this mating born here this spring. • Recip is located at NJW Polled Herefords and due March 1, 2019.

of 6 Pick 73S X WHITMORE FLUSH SISTERS Lot
• 73S…The dam of Trust, 8Y, 10Y, Hutton and numerous other herd bulls around the country. At age 12 she just finished raising her 10th natural calf, is carrying her 11th and has 109 progeny to her credit and maintained a 364 day calving interval. She breeds sound and true and shows up several times in many of our pedigrees with our thought being her blood only adds predictability and value. • Her 2018 flush was by the Whitmore 10W bull and resulted in 7 outstanding brood cow prospects and 2 bull calves who rank at the top of their crop. Whitmore is being used here heavily for his calving ease, low birth weights, high growth, pigment, excellent feet, top maternal traits and he is homozygous polled. His bulls are rugged and sturdy and females are broody and hard working. • We are offering you the pick of these 7 heifer flushmates – they are all high capacity, deep bodied, easy fleshing, broody and beautiful standouts that are bred to make a long term positive contribution to any program. • Terms: Offering the buyer their choice of these 7 heifers with their selection either made now (within 30 days of this sale) or the option to make their selection in the fall as a bred heifer (by Sept. 1, 2019).

• Here is a member of our pen of 3 heifers that is out of our top young donor, 45C and sired by Double Your Miles who is doing a great job across the country. This mating has worked well as evidenced by the full sibs in our carload of bulls and pen of heifers and her flushmates back home. 45C is giving us calves with a great combination of phenotype and outstanding EPDs. 45C is also a full sister to Munson, who sold in the 2018 Mile High sale to Perks Ranch and AbraKadabra Cattle. This girl has the look to compete in the show ring and the genetic package to build a herd around. We will retain one flush to be completed at the buyer’s convenience and the seller’s expense.

• Rare Air offers a ton of style and power to go along with a truly elite pedigree and great EPDs. We’ve been striving to raise a polled sired for the last several years to compliment all of our great horned sires. We believe that we finally have and that he can really produce elite show heifers and donors given the maternal backing in his pedigree and the fact that his full sister, Rock A Belle, is one of the best females we’ve seen. Besides stacking our famous Sooner x Gabrielle bloodlines on both the top and bottom side of his pedigree, he’s extremely low BW. He’s also dark red, great pigmented and large testicled just like his sire, Belle Air. • Selling ½ interest and ½ possession after his show career.

Followed by the sale of the remaining option. Both sell!! • Offering choice of half interest in PCC New Mexico Lady 6002 or full interest in her heifer calf. • 6002 is quickly becoming one of the most popular cows in the breed. Her dam, KJ DWE Shelia 457Y, is our lead donor and is one of the only females to be named both the American and Canadian National Champion. Her sire, NJW Hutton 109Z, has consistently produced EXCEPTIONAL females, we are currently flushing seven of them. 6002 is what we believe to be an “ideal” cow to build a herd around. • 6002 was 2017 Show Heifer of the Year and this pair was recently named Champion Cow-Calf Pair at the 2018 American Royal and the North American International Livestock Expo. Her heifer calf, 8184, has pigment, deep red with loads volume and a remarkable EPD profile. Her sire NJW Journey 53D is backed by Joey 84B, one of NJW’s strongest producing cows. We purchased 53D to put on heifers with a 74-pound birth weight. There is no telling where this heifer can take a program. • Seller reserves the right to two (2) flushes on the heifer calf at buyers convenience and sellers expense.

• It is always hard to part ways with one this good, but when we started consigning to the Denver sale we made a commitment to bring our top end. This female has hung numerous banners, which is exactly what we come to expect from the Caliberry donor! Already named 2018 Minnesota Beef Expo champion and 2018 Minnesota State Fair 4-H champion. Super profile, massive bodeied, monster hipped, big legged and as sound as you can make one. We feel she has the potential to leave a huge impact on your program. Ask Jirl Buck how profitable the LFF prefix bred heifers he has bought have been. Look as smart as him and make room in the donor pen for this one! • Retaining the right to two (2) successful flushes with a minimum of six (6) #1 embryos per flush.

• Frankie, has been a stand out since birth. She is pure power with a look of elegance. She is big time with all the right parts that are pieced together with style. She is huge middled and stout boned with a really extended neck. For as powerful as she is, her shoulder lays in as smooth as you can find. She is exceptionally soft at the ground and impeccable structure. Got to love her huge hip and hind leg. None of these traits should be a surprise as you evaluate her breeding. She is sired by the now deceased Cracker Jack. He has sired many national champions and has put breeding pieces into many well know ranches across the US. Her dam needs no introduction either, as she is making her splash as a true matriarch of the Hereford breed. The Remetee 213 cow continues to crank out the good ones. She produced the national champion bull at Denver, Time Traveler and many others. She herself was the 2010 NAILE Grand Champion Female. • A full sib to Frankie sold in the Lowderman’s Top Cut Sale for $55,000. Frankie has been shown 2 times. Taking Reserve Grand Champion honors at the West Texas State Fair and then placing 2nd in a very tough class at the American Royal. • Sells open • Selling full possession and ½ embryo interest. Worrell Enterprises would be happy to show this female thru her show career if the new buyer wishes.

• Jensen Bros. bulls and females come from cows that are total performance and built from pedigrees that are rich in quality! This year we have decided to offer a truly proven donor female. • MSU Rachel 58Z is the dam of Contender D56. Contender has been very popular in semen sales and was named the 2018 NWSS Reserve National Champion bull. Burns Farms, Tenn. and Jensen Bros. have used Contender extensively in their herds and embryo programs this past year. 58Z is 6-years old, flushes very well and in her prime. 58Z has raised top selling herd bulls and females for Jensen Bros. and our partners Shane and Ashlie Werk, Manhattan, Kan. A recent flushed received 14 grade 1 embryos. 58Z averages over 10 embryos per flush. • A Catapult son out of 58Z topped Jensen Bros. bull sale for $22,000 to McClun Polled Herefords, Wyo. A Catapult/58Z daughter raised by Shane Werk sold to David Smith, Colo. for $20,000. • We purchased 58Z in the MSU Dispersal as a calf. 58Z is a full sister to the legendary MSU TCF Revolution 4R herd bull. • Very seldom do we even part with a cow of this status. This is a unique once in a lifetime chance to own an MSU matron! • Owned with Southern Star, Tenn. and Rath Farms, Pa.

• Oaks Sweet Tart 4067 ET made a name for herself during her show career. Sweet Tart, 2016 Southwest Show Heifer of the Year, was named champion several times, as well as 2016 NWSS Senior Division Champion. She has successfully moved into the donor lineup with some highly anticipated calves expected this spring. For this reason we have made the decision to offer her full sister, Lolli, at the Mile High Night Sale. Their sire, CRR About Time 743, requires no introduction, with all the champions he has sired. Her dam, JBR Queen 1013, sired by the two-time NWSS Supreme Champion, Shock and Awe 158W, has arguably had more influence on our cow herd than any other female we have raised. Lolli looks like she could follow in her sisters footsteps. • Seller reserves the right to two (2) flushes with a minimum of six (6) viable embryos per flush at seller’s expense and buyer’s convenience.

These two females will be represented in our Pen in the Yards and offered as choice in the Mile High sale. This mating has produced a Reserve National Champion Bull , KOLT Chicago 2004, as well as several high selling females that are now in production for Express Ranches and the Effling Family. With out a doubt two of our top females to sell this year, horned or polled the choice is simple.

Hereford Mom Diaries
| by Christy Couch Lee
The House That Built Me It’s my grandma’s house. It’s the front porch where we would sit and watch neighbors pass, where friends would stop by and visit, where we would share the news of great-grandbabies to be born and share tears of worry for loved ones. It’s the old farmhouse kitchen sink, where my toddler self once fit to have my hair washed by my grandma, while I studied the hanging basket to determine where she had moved the tiny ceramic bird this time — her ploy to keep me entertained. It worked. It’s the oven where I learned not to grab a hot corndog by the wooden handle with no oven mitt. It’s the kitchen table around which we enjoyed her “famous” homemade angel food cake, meat loaf and homemade noodles. It’s the front door that only friends and family knew the combination to enter: wriggle the doorknob, turn the key, wriggle the doorknob again and enter. And the key that was hidden not-so-secretly in a fake rock on the front porch. It’s the front sidewalk that dipped and jutted out from overgrown tree roots — and the cause of many a scuffed knee in childhood and scars 41 years later. It’s the storm door that was broken by slamming onto my trombone case in middle school and the scar on my ring finger from the broken glass. (Yes, I have a lot of scars. I’m clumsy. What can I say?) It’s the laughter, the love, the heartfelt hugs and memories. It’s my grandma’s house. And it is no longer hers.
it has needed for a bit — and it will be loved for another generation. But it’s still hard — really hard, if I’m honest. I’m willing to bet most of us have that one place we call “home.” It may be on the home farm; it may be in a suburban area; but you know it, and you know the emotion it brings. This experience has really caused me to think — what am I doing to make our house “home” for our kids? What memories will they carry with them into adulthood? Now, more than ever, I’m determined to keep creating those moments with them. Carving pumpkins in the fall and dying eggs in the spring. Carrying meals out to the barn on the late nights of cattle work. Even if it’s embarrassing to our teenager. Even if they roll their eyes at the time. We can all make our houses “home.” And I’m certain our children will carry those memories with them for a lifetime — even if the structure is no longer there. Christy Couch Lee is a freelance writer from Wellington, Ill. She can be reached at christy@ceeleecommunications.com.
Selfless spirit My grandma has taken care of others and herself for 92 years. She has carried food to the fields. She has sat ringside at many a cattle show, cheering on her son and grandkids and, recently, her great-grandson. And in later years, she cared for my dad, a proud cattleman who didn’t think he needed the help but most certainly did. But her body has tired a bit, and she has most definitely earned the right to have others take care of her for a change. In April she moved into assisted living attached to the nursing home where my dad resides. It wasn’t an easy choice. It wasn’t one that any of us necessarily wanted. But she is being cared for — and the assisted-living staff sure seems to love her. And we know that should she need someone, there’s always help a button push away. With that move came the difficult decision to sell her home — the home she and my grandpa shared for 41 years. When I was born, they left the house on the farm and moved to town so my brother and I could be raised in the Couch family homestead with our parents. That farmhouse was torn down about 20 years ago, and grandma’s home in town became “home” for my brother and me. The new owner has plans to make some much-needed renovations. I have no doubt the home will see the new life Hereford.org

Ken met the love of his life, Carol Nicholl, while pilot training in Texas. They married on April 1, 1963, and enjoyed 55 years of marriage together. After his retirement from the military in 1992, Ken and Carol founded Lilac Hill. Ken served on the Missouri Hereford Association board for five years, including a stint as president. He was instrumental in merging Missouri’s Polled Hereford and Horned Hereford Associations. In 2012, Ken was inducted into the Missouri Hereford Association Hall of Fame.

Bill grew up showing cattle in 4-H and assisted in the cattle operation of his dad and uncle — Couch Brothers Polled Herefords.
Upon finishing high school, Bill started Couch’s Custom Fitting Service. In the first 15 years Simmentals were shown at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS), Couch exhibited a national or reserve national champion 14 times. In 1983, Bill and his family moved to Stephenville, Texas, where Bill worked as manager of Diamond C Ranch. While in Texas, Bill also served as the Simmental manager for Pharris Farms in Hillsboro. In 1986, Bill and his family returned to Owensville, where he established C-Bar Cattle Company, breeding and raising purebred Simmental cattle. After years of raising high-quality Simmental genetics, Bill accepted the position of manager of Express Ranches in Yukon, Okla., in 1994. After numerous national championship titles with Express, Bill returned to the home farm for a final time in 2002, where he continued to raise Simmental, Angus and Sim-Angus cattle for many years. Bill judged many of the world’s largest cattle shows, including the NWSS; North American International Livestock Exposition; Canadian Agribition; Dixie National Livestock Show; Fort Worth Stock Show; San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo; and Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Peterson Lifetime Achievement Award; being named a 2010 Indiana Livestock Breeders Hall of Fame Honoree; receiving the 2016 American Simmental Association Golden Book Award; and being named the 2016 Simmental Breeders Sweepstakes show honoree.

the bald-faced truth about Hereford Genetics Take advantage of hybrid vigor with Hereford genetics.
Hereford Advantage
Use the Hereford Advantage program to increase added market power and brand recognition with feeder cattle sired by a Hereford bull battery ranking in the top 50% for the CHB$ index.
Maternal Advantage
The Maternal Advantage program generates females with added longevity, more docility, increased fertility and more profit per year. Can be utilized by producers using Hereford bulls on British-based cows or Brahman-based cows in their breeding program.
Premium Red Baldy
Premium Red Baldy is designed to take advantage of the best traits of both Hereford and Red Angus. Females must be sired by bulls in the top 50% of the breed for Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) or Herdbuilder Index (HB).
