Red Baldies in the Black Hills

Hereford influence proves profitable in rugged country. by Katie Maupin Miller

This makes sense considering the 21 they begin the trek to higher ground, climbing the Ranch crew considers themselves to be a forage operation, steep Black Hills painted with pine trees to get enough and it’s the cows’ job to harvest their forage to maintain their condition, forage and convert it to profit. Every raise a good calf and breed back on The baldy cows, whether two months, the herd is trailed, time. Each year, the 21 Ranch cow not trailered, to a new pasture. As herd travels a loop of about 100 miles red or black, have been Wilhelm notes, any cattleman who through private pastures deep into the cows that have has trailed cattle will know the BLM forests, according to Bill Wilhelm frustration of a handful of soreof 21 Ranch. kept this country going footed stragglers. While this nomadic and demanding for a long, long, long “If they can’t travel, can’t move lifestyle is seemingly a tall order, the and have bad feet or bad legs, it isn’t ranch’s red baldy cow herd does so time. And it’s going to going to work,” he says. with ease. An efficient and hardy cow Hereford genetics improved the herd has long been active owner Doug continue to be so because cow herd’s soundness and stayability Watson’s goal, and part of the legacy his they’re cattle that fit this on the rugged terrain. While Wilhelm late father, Ron, and his mother, Phyllis, is quick to note that a single breed created when they founded 21 Ranch. environment. doesn’t magically fix structure, and a For 30 years, the Sundance, Wyo., — Bill Wilhelm, 21 Ranch cowman should always keep a keen operation consisted primarily of Red eye on conformation, the HerefordAngus genetics, running purebred Red influenced cattle make the annual trek in good shape, and Angus sires on red commercial cows. But, in 2015, 21 Ranch better than some of their straightbred peers. The breed’s added Hereford bulls to the docket, which resulted in balddisposition also helps the 21 Ranch cow herd’s annual faced performance and docility. grazing circuit through the Black Hills.

| February 2024

Hereford.org

“The Hereford cattle are famous for not necessarily moving fast,” says Wilhelm. “But they do move, and they will get up and cover these high hills. You will see them grazing on some of the highest portions of the hills without any trouble … They maintain their body condition much better, and you make better use of the grass.” In addition to their easy-going nature, Hereford genetics add efficiency, thanks in part to the breed’s good disposition. Whether on horseback, on foot or with the help of cattle dogs, the baldy cows are simply easier to work — a trait appreciated by the entire 21 Ranch crew. “I think the Hereford temperament is pretty much unmatched in the commercial cow world,” Wilhelm says.

Predictable performance on unpredictable terrain

While the 21 Ranch’s cowhands can bet on the red baldies’ docility, no one can predict the weather in the Black Hills. Sometimes, the region resembles a desert with little precipitation to bolster the grasses, but other years, there will be snow still covering the steep pine forests where the cow herd is exposed to selected sires. But regardless of the weather, 21 Ranch expects its cows to perform. As Wilhelm explains, any females at 21 Ranch — yearling heifers, first-calf heifers and experienced cows — found open are culled. To ensure the operation selects the most fertile replacements, heifers are exposed naturally over a 30-day window, and any potential replacement not bred during that time will be deferred to the feeder calf backgrounding program. “We found those cattle to be fertile under these conditions, to milk well, raise their calves and maintain their condition for us,” he says. “In this area, breed-back is always about the most important thing that occurs with our cattle, and if they don’t breed back, they’re gone.” The same goes for the bulls. “We’ve got to have bulls that go out, cover the country, have a high libido and settle the cows. The cows themselves have to be fertile, not just under great conditions but also under any conditions that they’re exposed to,” Wilhelm says. “The cattle must be fertile under any conditions with minimum feed. If they come in here, and they need to be supplemental-fed, they won’t be here very long.”

Sire selection

The 21 Ranch bull battery is stacked with half-brothers of their respective breeds, helping them achieve their goals of a fertile, uniform and predictable herd. When it comes to Hereford sires, Wilhelm says 21 Ranch prefers good-footed, sound herd bulls with pedigrees noted for added performance and udder quality. Consequently, the ranch discovered that Line 1 (L1) cattle tend to work best in their region, so the majority of their Hereford bulls boast L1 pedigrees. “We like lots of performance in the cattle,” Wilhelm says. “We went with largely Line 1 cattle because of their general hardiness.” The 21 Ranch bull battery is rotated every three years to ensure the most progressive and uniform genetics. But Wilhelm notes the Hereford bulls stay sound, fertile and vigorous. “The bulls are good at covering the country. They are pretty well dispositioned even though they are bulls,” he says.

Red baldy breadwinners

The Hereford influence really shines when the Unlike many commercial 21 Ranch crew moves the cow herd every two cattlemen who cash the biggest months to make the best use of the pasture. The checks from fed or feeder cattle, cattle are trailed, not trailered, so soundness and a good disposition are imperative. Wilhelm says that 21 Ranch’s females are the operation’s bread and butter. The ranch sells red replacements privately to other cattlemen seeking high-performing, docile cattle that thrive in the rugged environment. They also offer 6- and 7-year-old cows to other ranchers, capturing added value for both 21 Ranch and their new owners. continued on page 8...

Breed-back is non-negotiable on 21 Ranch. Any cow that comes up open is culled.

“(The cows) have a lot of value to us and whoever buys them,” Wilhelm says, “It’s the steers that are kind of the afterthought around here.” The ranch’s red baldy steers are backgrounded until they’re yearlings. Then, they’re sold privately when they weigh around 1,100 pounds. Buyers say these Herefordinfluenced steers settle in and gain well. “One of the biggest reports we’ve gotten back on the calves is not only are they efficient, good gaining cattle, but the most impressive thing about the feeders was that they came off the truck and immediately went to the feed bunk. They weren’t running and hitting the other side of the corral. They just immediately went to eating and took off,” Wilhelm says.

A fresh look at Herefords Bill Wilhelm, in addition to working with 21 Ranch, operates his own registered Hereford operation, Wilhelm Cattle, in Sundance, Wyo. Wilhelm has deep roots in the purebred cattle industry, but when he stepped away from raising seedstock for several years to pursue other ventures, he returned with a fresh perspective. He visited various stock shows to evaluate the cattle and was surprised with his findings. “I thought I would land with Angus or Simmental, and I was pleasantly surprised with the progress that the Hereford breed had made in the time that I had been away,” he says. “I thought that they were the most usefullooking cattle out there.” Much like 21 Ranch, Wilhelm found that Line 1 genetics work well in the Black Hills; therefore, many of his genetics are L1-centric. He specializes in lining up Hereford pedigrees that are functional and sound without sacrificing growth and maternal traits, and Wilhelm challenges producers to take a fresh look at the bald-faced breed. “Some of the people that join the black revolution, I really advise them to go out and look with a fresh eye at the Hereford cattle. The Hereford breed has really made more progress than any breed out there. The tough times really caused people to dig in and raise the good ones,” he says. And as Wilhelm notes the unique hybrid advantages that Herefords offer to commercial cattlemen will help the industry meet the ever-challenging task of feeding the world. (See Shifting Attitudes Page 48).

Regardless of gender, Hereford heterosis pays for 21 Ranch. As Wilhelm points out, the breed’s influence stretches beyond the bald face. “The F1 baldies have some added dimension to them,” he says. “They’re a little bigger framed compared to the Red Angus, but Weather in the Black Hills can be unpredictable. still moderate. The Some years the area resembles a desert and bigger advantage others the cattle are wading through steep, is the Herefordsnow-covered pine forests. Yet, the baldy cows still perform. influenced cattle are very capacious, bigmiddled, soft-middled and easy-doing. They just have a lot more body dimension; they’re wider based.” And while the cattle industry has tended to lean toward black-hided cattle, Wilhelm encourages cattlemen to re-evaluate their beef cattle. “I really advise them to go out and look with a fresh eye at the Hereford cattle. The Hereford breed has really made more progress than any breed out there,” he says. Regardless of the color, Hereford-influenced cattle bring bald-faced fertility, efficiency and docility with the famous Hereford heterosis. “I don’t think any of us can dispute heterosis and the value that it brings. I think you’re taking a couple of breeds that both have their strengths, and you’re combining them, making them into the best possible cow for this part of the country,” Wilhelm says. “The baldy cows, whether red or black, have been the cows that have kept this country going for a long, long, long time. And it’s going to continue to be so because they’re cattle that fit this environment.”

With those results in mind, we screened AHA’s database for sires proven for DMI EPD and Mature Cow Weight (MCW) EPD (accuracy > 0.5). The search returned 116 sires (Figure 1). There was a weak positive relationship between the two traits. In other words, as one would expect, increased genetic capacity for mature cow weight was associated with increased genetic capacity for feed intake. Importantly, notice there are numerous proven sires that produce females with below breed average mature cow weight, but above breed average feed intake. At the opposite end of the spectrum there are a few sires that produce larger females with average to below breed-average feed intake genetics. The take-home message “The cow herd uses about 74% of the feed energy required to produce one pound of carcass weight,” explains is that MCW EPD alone is likely not as David Lalman, Oklahoma State University. effective as using the DMI EPD directly to control or manipulate herd average feed intake and efficiency over time. forage requirements should also better equip cow herds to In summary, we submit that using DMI EPD directly may deal with extensive production systems and (or) increasing be a more direct path to producing females with expectional frequency and intensity of drought conditions. fertility and production traits while reducing or holding feed intake in check.

MARKETS

Demand for Hereford and Hereford-influenced feeder cattle and breeding stock ended 2023 and began the new year with plenty of momentum. Aaron Friedt, American Hereford Association (AHA) field representative, attended and provided the following commentary for Central/ Northern Plains sales. Noah Benedict, AHA field representative, provided the sales results from the East/ Southeast and Midwest. The associated tables of sale results do not include the entire offering but offer a representative glimpse of each sale.

eef cattle supply fundamentals are unchanged with the smallest cow herd in six decades contracting further as cow slaughter and the percentage of heifers on feed remain elevated. Going forward, fewer calves and feeder cattle will be available. As well, Feeder Cattle futures appeared to find a bottom in December, increasing hopes for a rally at the beginning of 2024. Watch for bred cow and heifer prices to increase as the spring calving season approaches. The mild start to winter enabled producers in the Northern Plains to save hay by utilizing fall grazing, boosting their optimism. Ultimately, the feeder calf market needs to strengthen enough to convince producers that herd expansion will be economically rewarded. Central/Northern Plains

Mitchell Livestock Marketing Hereford-influenced Breeding Stock Special

Mitchell Livestock Marketing, Mitchell, S.D. Dec. 12, 2023 Even though bred cow prices across the nation reflected the softer feeder calf market, buyers were active in acquiring breeding females. The sale featured 255 bred heifers and cows. (See Table on opposite page)

Kansas Hereford Association Feeder Calf Sale

Parsons Livestock Market, Parsons, Kan. Dec. 13, 2023 Many smaller groups were among the 262 Hereford-influenced feeder calves featured in the special Hereford section. Cattle that fit into buyer loads saw a premium. Quality was solid and prices were good throughout this inaugural Hereford special. I encourage producers in the area to consider consigning cattle in the next one. (See Table on opposite page)

Premium Whiteface Feeder Calf Sale hosted by Minnesota Hereford Breeders

Pipestone Livestock Auction, Pipestone, Minn. Dec. 14, 2023 Many Minnesota Hereford breeders showed up to sell cattle and watch the sale, which featured 226 Hereford and black white-face feeders. Buying interest was strong throughout the offering. Similar to the Kansas sale mentioned above, buyers grouped small lots to fill loads, helping to increase their value. Replacement-quality black whitefaced heifers topped the heifers. (See Table on Page 22)

Market Tracks Ready for the next climb. by Wes Ishmael

MARKETS

ll else being equal, calf and feeder cattle prices are poised to move higher as 2024 unfolds and cattle numbers continue to decline — especially after the first half of the year — but at lower levels than previously anticipated. USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) lowered forecast feeder steer prices (750-800 pounds, Oklahoma City) for the final quarter of 2023 and this year as feedlot placements and the inventory of cattle on feed continued to be more than expected earlier. Fed steer and heifer slaughter was also less than originally anticipated as packers slowed production to help boost wholesale beef values. Even so, Derrell Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension livestock marketing specialist, explained in his year-end market comments total feedlot placements for June through November last year were 0.3% less than the same period a year earlier. “This means that the larger feedlot inventory now is due to a slower feedlot turnover rate and not because of increased total feedlot production,” Peel said. “This is reflected in November feedlot marketings that were down 7.4% year over year. A slower feedlot marketing rate raises concerns that feedlots may not be staying current in marketings.” In December’s Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook, compared to the previous month, ERS reduced the expected fourth-quarter feeder steer price (750-800 pounds, Oklahoma City) for 2023 by $10 to $230 per hundredweight (cwt.) and the 2023 annual average price by $2.50 to $218.61. For this year, projected prices were forecast $15 lower in the first quarter at $225, $12 lower in the second at $235

| February 2024

and $10 lower in the third at $250. The 2024 annual average price was reduced $10.50 to $241.75. Of course, these prices remain on the high side of history. The first week of January, prices for steers weighing 600-700 pounds were 34-36% higher year over year on a regional basis (see Table). The CME Feeder Cattle Index the same week was 27% higher year over year. ERS also tempered the outlook for cash fed cattle prices (weighted average five-area direct) in December’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates, based on increased expected feedlot placements late last year that will be marketed this year, as well as current prices at the time. Compared to the previous month, ERS reduced the expected fourth-quarter price for 2023 by $7 to $178 per cwt. The projected annual 2023 price was $1.75 lower at $175.55. Prices this year were sliced by $10 in the first quarter to $175, $9 in the second quarter to $184 and $5 in the third quarter to $177. The forecast annual average price for 2024 was reduced $7 to $178. Lower fed cattle prices, in tandem with higher prices paid for cattle currently on feed, pour lots of red across cattle feeding returns for the next several months, at least on a cash-to-cash basis, according to Kansas State University’s Historical and Projected Kansas Feedlot Net Returns. Keep in mind the following projections do not include price risk management. Projected net returns for steers range from -$232.90 to -$253.90 for February through April this year. Estimated feedlot cost of gain for steers during the same period ranges from $111.52 per cwt. to $119.79.

Demand versus supply

Ultimately, the height of cattle prices depends on consumer demand. Although stagnant through the fourth quarter and lacking the typical seasonal bounce, there is little question wholesale beef prices will increase as supplies decrease if demand remains resilient. Estimated beef production last year of 26.9 billion pounds was 1.4 billion pounds less (-4.8%) than the previous year. This year’s estimated production of 26 billion pounds would be 942 million pounds less (-3.5%) than last year. Even though beef prices will likely forge higher, cooling inflation should help. Food price increases are expected to moderate this year, according to the latest Food Price Outlook from ERS. The all-items Consumer Price Index (CPI) in November last year was 3.1% higher year over year, while the CPI for all food was up 2.9%. This year, ERS predicts the all-food CPI to increase 1.2%. As prices ration demand for less supply, U.S. beef exports face tougher sledding. Although stronger than the previous month, U.S. beef exports continued lower year over year in October, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF). Beef exports totaled 104,446 metric tons (mt) in October 2023, down 17% from a year ago but 6% more than the low volume posted in September. Export value was $836 million, down 11% year-over-year but 5% higher than September. Beef export value equated to $389.90 per head of fed slaughter in October, down 9% from a year ago. Hereford.org

“Economic headwinds in our largest Asian markets continue to weigh on demand, as consumers trade down to lower-priced proteins,” says Dan Halstrom, USMEF president and CEO. “The recovery in Asia’s foodservice sector has been limited, but we remain hopeful that it will accelerate in 2024. Recent efforts to jump-start economic activity in these countries and address weakened currencies could also improve the business climate.” January-October exports of U.S. beef reached 1.08 million mt, down 13% from the record pace of 2022, while value fell 17% to $8.32 billion. During the same period, beef export value equated to $395.40 per head of fed slaughter down 14%.

Leverage Genetic Value Retained ownership offers a variety of advantages. by Wes Ishmael

“W

MARKETS

hen you sell your calves to me, you’re selling twothirds of the genetic value of those calves,” says Lee Mayo, general manager of HRC Feed Yards LLC at Scott City, Kan. “If you’ve done a good job buying bulls that move the needle in your herd, and you’ve spent years applying selection pressure, why would you let someone else take advantage of all of the time, money and resources you spent trying to make a better product?” His example references a producer selling calves weighing 500-600 pounds. The cattle feeder will then grow them by another 800-1,000 pounds, so the feeder capitalizes on roughly two-thirds of the calves’ genetic potential. Like managers of other custom cattle feedlots, Mayo wears plenty of hats, and his role changes depending on which side of the trade he’s representing. If he’s buying cattle for clients or to feed himself, his job is to buy cattle as cheaply as possible. Conversely, he and his crew work hard to make as much money as possible on every head they feed, no matter the owner. Both are reasons why he encourages cow-calf producers to consider retaining ownership in their cattle through the feedlot, especially those focusing on genetic improvement.

Numbers matter

Producers forego retained ownership for a number of reasons, from cash flow and risk tolerance to not knowing how their genetics will perform in the feedlot and on the rail. Another common reason has to do with raw numbers. Feedyards deal in load lots which fill pens, which can number in the hundreds. Although it varies, figure that 50,000 pounds make a potload

| February 2024

of feeder calves. That’s equivalent to 100 calves weighing an average of 500 pounds, 83 head weighing 600 pounds and so on. The more samesex, similar-weight and class cattle a producer can offer, the more value they have to buyers. While there are rare exceptions, Mayo explains, “You’re not going to top the market with five or 10 head, no matter how good they are.” When sellers offer less than a load lot, he says they can usually expect a discount of $3-$10 per hundredweight (cwt.). The discount can be as much as $20 for groups of five head or fewer. Although it requires coordination, Mayo points out, retained ownership enables producers with less than a load lot to avoid the discount by building loads with other producers. Keep in mind commingled groups need to be same-sex, same-class and similar weight — within about 100 pounds of each other. The number of owners may also limit partnership options with the feedlot. Many custom feedlots are willing to partner with owners on a percentage of the cattle. At HRC, they prefer to partner on single-owner groups but will consider partnerships if there are two or three owners, depending on the situation. Owners of Hereford and Hereford-influenced calves have another option. HRC feeds all of the cattle enrolled in the American Hereford Association’s Hereford Feedout Program (Hereford.org/ genetics/breed-improvement/ feedout-program). Participants send as few as five head to the yard where they are commingled with other cattle in the program. As with others owning cattle, participants receive monthly feed bills, which include health cost, as well as

individual carcass data after the cattle are harvested. Mayo and others provide an insightful introduction to cattle feeding in educational videos available at Hereford.org/2021/01/2021-njhafed-steer-shootout-videos.

Minimal cost up front

Whether or not they share ownership, feedlots, like HRC, often finance any or most of the cost, including the cattle themselves. “The financial risk is minimal,” Mayo says. He explains the variety of price risk management tools available through the feedlot, such as hedging with futures contracts and Livestock Risk Protection insurance, allow owners to choose the risk level that suits them. Mayo also points out retained ownership offers owners unique tax advantages, including the ability to defer income from one year to the next.

Health trumps all

Short of retained ownership in the feedlot, Mayo says, “Backgrounding is key and something cow-calf producers can do that adds so much value. A calf weaned 60-90 days in the fall and selling in December is worth $20 per cwt. more to you. Get the weight and sell more pounds at a higher price.” Much of the premium is based on reduced heath risk. If you retain ownership, Mayo emphasizes preparing calves for the feedlot from a health standpoint. “Get the health program right, use two rounds of modified-live and a 7-way clostridial vaccine,” he says. “If you’ve already doctored a calf two or three times at home, it’s not a good idea to put him on the truck and expect success at the feedlot.”

A sure fire heifer bull and a 57 pound actual with a great calving ease figure. He also excels with elite marbling, ribeye and $CHB combined with plenty of growth. We sold his sire to ABS and his dam is a first calf heifer by the young performance giant Belle Heir.

This is a perfect blend of genetics with the power and performance of Guardian and the moderate maternal young donor 0119. All of the indicators lead you to believe this young sire has everything a cattlemen is searching for. Top shelf carcass genetics and maternal quality with the color and pigment.

Here is a Denver pen bull with as much real muscle and shape as any. Dark red color with loads of pigment and one of the first Guardian sons to sell. This will be one of the top horned bull calves for sale this season.

This is one that we have been excited about all summer and he continues to impress. These Barracuda bulls are incredible but this sire is double bred for IMF being out of a Validated daughter who is a trait leader for carcass quality. He puts this together with low birth high calving ease indicators and has the pigment and look.

This will be the lead off bull in our 2024 Denver pen. He already has a win under his belt as he was named the 2023 Champion Horned Bull in Reno. He has the look and color pattern of a herd bull with so much power and performance. His mother 4264 is also the mother of herd sire Belle Heir, Real Deal, and grandmother of Guardian.

This horned Belle Air son brings a lot to the table with his tabulations and phenotype. He is a natural calf out of a first calf heifer with a 78lb actual birth weight and big weaning and yearling predictions. His pedigree is very predictable.

We are very excited about this one and feel he has the opportunity to be as good as any we have produced. His donor dam 1311 has produced over 1.6 million dollars in progeny and is also the mother of Arlo who was the top selling bull and lead off bull in our Denver pen. He truly has it all with elite phenotype and EPD’s that offer calving ease, performance, maternal and carcass all in one.

This young sire should have the ability to pass on as much carcass merit as any available. His mother is one of our top IMF cows and had elite ratios when she was scanned. She is a full sister to Belle Heir and 8037 who is Guardian’s mother. The unique thing about this bull is his calving ease and carcass in one.

Spring 2024 Platinum TPR Breeders Twenty-three Hereford breeders achieved Platinum Total Performance Records (TPR™) Breeder status for spring 2024. The Platinum TPR program was established in 2018 to recognize breeders who participate in the Association’s Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program that was implemented in 2001 to create a more accurate database and increase the value of Hereford genetics. The Platinum TPR Breeder is the highest level of achievement when it comes to complete calf crop reporting. Breeders must meet all of the requirements of Gold TPR Breeder

status plus genotype 85% of their calves with a weaning weight submitted. The Platinum TPR Breeders are designated two times a year and are awarded each calving season. The selection of Platinum TPR Breeders takes place during the process of loading each new run of expected progeny differences (EPDs) in January (spring) and July (fall). The criteria for Platinum TPR Breeders will be evaluated two years prior to the award year. The following spring 2024 TPR awards reflect the spring 2022 calf crop.

However, newness can be used to describe the Often, it has felt like the world telling producers what urgency of the domestic sustainability movement that they should do rather than asking what could be done arrived when the United States rejoined the PCA in and working with them to find mutually beneficial 2021, committing to herculean reductions in GHG solutions.

Lyons-Blythe, who was a panelist at the recent Sustainable Agriculture Summit (SAS). She is a Kansas rancher and past chair of the USRSB. “For me, it’s vital that the grower, the producer, the farmer and the rancher are involved from the beginning. I’ve been involved in the sustainability conversation for a long time, but it was very top-down. There were lots of companies saying, ‘We need you to do these things.’ And I said, ‘Let me see why I would do those things,’” LyonsBlythe said. She also emphasized the necessity of producers being involved in organizations like USRSB to truly understand the landscape. “I live in a little tiny community. We don’t have a stoplight. So, if I don’t get off the ranch, then I’m not going to get to connect with packers, processors and retailers,” Lyons-Blythe explained. “I need the opportunity to really connect and learn from them. I have learned that it’s not the consumer who is pressuring these retailers to make all these sustainability changes; it’s their stakeholders, activists and environmental groups … “I have to be aware of the pressures. I had no idea that retailers faced the pressures that they do. Now, I’m able to communicate that back to other producers and say, ‘They’re not doing this because they’re excited about what I’m doing on my ranch, specifically; they’re under pressure by investors and other groups and are searching for solutions. We’re being asked to make changes and find solutions, but so are they. So, we can now collaborate around that, and we can now get involved with each other and support each other and come up with strategies to do a good job because it is the right thing to do.’” Recognition of shared risk and the need to collaborate with producers was a refreshing and heartening hallmark of the SAS. The sold-out meeting of more than 900 included all sectors of agriculture, producers and producer groups, processors and distributors, lending institutions, technology providers, governmental agencies and venture capitalists. Throughout the presentations and hallway chat, beyond the need to collaborate with producers, much discussion revolved around the how.

Progress in the making

None of what you’ve read so far is to suggest little effort has occurred since commitments were made to address the lack of standardization and infrastructure mentioned earlier or to figure out how to fulfil specific commitments. The opposite is true. There’s no telling the billions of dollars being spent on the endeavor. For instance, USDA is investing more than $3 billion in more than 100 projects through Partnerships for ClimateSmart Commodities (usda.gov/climate-solutions/climatesmart-commodities). In fact, there are so many current projects (USDA and otherwise), and producer entry points, that Truth in Food developed the Climate Smart Navigator (climatesmart. agweb.com). You simply input what state you’re from, your production sector and what type of climate smart programs you’d like to explore. The result is a list of applicable climatesmart programs with links to more detail. Hereford.org

In some cases, participation requires producers do nothing new because they’re already doing it; they just need to document what they’re doing. Closer to home, the USRSB developed an array of training modules that help producers identify sustainability opportunities and make further improvement, such as the Grazing Management Plan Development Module (learning. usrsb.org/#grazing-mgmt-plan). There’s also an anonymous self-assessment tool producers can use to evaluate their own operations against the sustainability indicators that USRSB has identified (USRSB.org/resources).

Sustainability Parlance “Carbon neutral — which refers to having a net-zero carbon footprint — is about reaching a balance between the emission of carbon into the atmosphere and the removal of the climate pollutant through carbon sinks or other offsets,” according to the University of California-Davis, How Carbon Neutral is Different than Climate Neutral. “In many instances, being carbon neutral will limit contributions to climate change. Becoming carbon neutral doesn’t encompass all greenhouse gases (GHG) — though it does include carbon dioxide, which makes up about 80% of the planet’s GHG — and some sectors don’t need to be carbon neutral to limit contributions to warming.” Net zero is another common goal. “Put simply, net zero means cutting greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions re-absorbed from the atmosphere, by oceans and forests for instance,” according to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Briefly, the USRSB is comprised of five constituencies: producers, allied industries, packers/processors, retailers/ foodservice and civil society, which includes academic institutions and non-government organizations. Its 140 members include individual producers and producer organization such as the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Livestock Marketing Association and American Hereford Association. McDonald’s and Walmart are members, too. The USRSB’s mission is to: “Advance, support and communicate continuous improvement of sustainability across the U.S. beef value chain.” The USRSB set goals and sector-level targets for six high-priority indicators: air and GHG emissions, land resources, water resources, employee safety and well-being, animal health and well-being, and efficiency and yield. These are just a few examples of the widespread sustainability activity taking place.

The stakes are the future

Lyons-Blythe believes too many producers get hung up on the information and misinformation surrounding climate change, debating whether or not mankind has any influence. continued on page 50...

...Shifting Attitudes continued from page 49

“It doesn’t really matter what you believe about climate change. The conversation around climate change is enough to pressure the farmers and ranchers of the world. The only way we can continue to farm and ranch in America is by showing that we are working towards sustainability and are focused on doing the right thing already.” LyonsBlythe says. “We can be a partner for the solution, instead of the problem. We have to speak up and communicate

25,000 people will die today of hunger … It’s one person every four seconds, mostly children.” At the same time, agricultural production efficiency has increased dramatically over time, especially here in the United States. For instance, Bobo pointed out that compared to 1980, U.S. producers in 2011 were producing a bushel of wheat with 40% less land, 35% fewer GHG emissions, 40% less energy, 50% less water and 60% less land erosion. Yet, when many consumers think about sustainability, Bobo said they think in terms of using less land, water, fertilizer and other inputs. “That probably means you’ll have a lighter impact on that piece of land. The problem is that if you don’t use inputs, you won’t get as much output, so somebody else will have to pick up the slack ... You reduce inputs and you have a lower local impact, but there’s a bigger global impact somewhere else. The benefits are local, the impacts are global,” Bobo explained. What we seldom hear is this. “Population growth after 2050 slows dramatically … The number of children born this year is probably the same or higher than will be born next year and higher than will be born the next year or the year after that,” Bobo explained. “A hundred percent of population growth is because of people living longer. It’s not because we’re having more children.” The American Hereford Association is working with AgNext and Colorado State University to He challenged participants to consider this reality identify genetic relationships associated with cattle geenhouse gas emissions. These units at Olsen Ranches, Harrisburg, Neb., collect individual animal methane emissions. relative to food production. “Imagine for a moment that we can continue the to legislators and regulators that American agriculture improvements in productivity, not just to 2050 but is already working hard to improve sustainability. We in beyond. If we do that, we have this huge opportunity American agriculture have the facts on our side. We just because for the first time in human history, we won’t need to make a few tweaks and be willing to communicate need dramatically more food; we’ll need better food,” what we are doing.” Bobo said. “… The next 30 years are not just the most Forget for a moment about economic sustainability, important 30 years there have ever been in the history social license and all of the other reasons producers need of agriculture, they’re the most important 30 years there to be involved in the sustainability will ever be in the history of conversation.

That’s why the the world. continue to farm and ranch work you’re doing is so critically Jack Bobo did. It is the essence important for the future. in America is by showing of what he shared with USRSB “If we get to 2050 without participants. In broad strokes, it that we are working towards cutting down our forests and starts with this often-stated fact — without draining our rivers, sustainability and are the global population of about 7.9 our lakes and our aquifers, we billion today will grow to about 10 are good forever.

Things for food is increasing even faster than population,” Bobo are bad and they’re going to get worse, and they’re explained. “And, of course, we have 800 million people definitely going to get worse further out. But if we get who will go to bed hungry today. It’s really hard for to 2050 and we’ve solved this problem, we have solved most people to wrap their minds around that.

Handle on

HEALTH

Handle with Care Good or bad, we teach cattle something every time we handle them. by Dave Sjeklocha, DVM

t has been said that you should work cattle together before you are married so you get the chance to see the “real” person. While there may be some truth to that, it doesn’t have to be that way. Handling cattle can be frustrating at times, but the key to understanding why cattle can be frustrating is to realize we have probably taught them to be that way. If you take one thing away from reading this article, I hope it is that we teach cattle each time we interact with them. Good cattle handling facilities are important, but effective cattle handlers are just as important. Someone who understands cattle behavior can make almost any facility work, while a bad cattle handler can make a wreck of the best-designed facility. In a cow herd

situation, it is especially important to focus on cattle behavior and how to respond to it because those cows will be with you for, hopefully, many years. So, when we handle the cow herd: 1) Try to make it a good experience for the cows; 2) Don’t teach the cows any bad habits.

Common cattle handling mistakes An example of teaching a bad habit comes from whom I call the “sifter.” This is the person who needs six cows to go to the single-file alleyway but tries to push 20 head to the alleyway, hoping to have six left when they finally get there. In this example, the sifter taught 14 cows that they can get away; it will now be far more difficult to get those 14 cows to go where you want. If

the sifter works cattle all day like this, the entire herd will be trained to escape. It is far better to take the number you need and then do everything you can to make sure they all go where you want them to go. If a good cattle handler must work with a herd that has experience with a sifter, the good cattle handler will have to re-train those cows to understand that they cannot escape. Another common mistake when handling cattle is overfilling the tub/ Bud Box. I am a firm believer that we should never bring so many cattle to the tub that we have cattle standing in the tub, waiting for their turn to enter the alleyway. This is especially true when a Bud Box is used. Bring only enough cattle to fill the alleyway. Get them in, and get them out. The

tub, alleyway and squeeze chute are the most stressful areas for cattle as we work them, so it just makes sense to minimize the time each animal must spend in those areas. Plus, it really helps smooth the flow of cattle through the system. A common facility design flaw is using a backstop or “no-back” device at the end of the alleyway, right where we are trying to encourage cattle to exit the tub/Bud Box and enter the alleyway. Cattle are more likely to balk at entering the alleyway when it appears the backstop is blocking their path. Moving the backstop forward one or two animal lengths can improve the flow of cattle into the alleyway. Once they start down the alley, herdmates behind will help continue to move them forward. If moving the backstop forward is not an option, creating a pulley system to pull the backstop out of the way can be very effective.

Break your bad habits

Keep in mind an electric prod is an essential tool for only very specific

situations. These situations are rare, and even then, prods should only be used when absolutely necessary. If a worker constantly carries one, it will be overused. Workers must be willing to put the prod down and retrieve it only when necessary. We often see the whole family helping to work cattle on farms and ranches, which is a great opportunity for teaching work ethic, responsibility, integrity — and maybe a little crusty language! I started working cattle with my dad when I was 5 or 6 years old, and I was expected to contribute. My job was to keep the cows moving up the alley to the chute, but Dad didn’t want me to stick my arm in the alley to encourage the cows. So, if I couldn’t get the cattle to move by stepping toward them or walking past them, I was to use the electric prod. Using the prod kept me safe as a youngster, but it wasn’t until I was older that I realized I developed a habit of overuse. Especially when family members and neighbors help work cattle, make sure everyone

understands how to move cattle appropriately, as well as when and why to use an electric prod. These are just a few very common and easily overlooked issues I see when cattle are worked. In the book, “The Horse Whisperer,” someone says to the main character, Tom Booker, “I’ve heard you help people with horse problems.” “Truth is, I help horses with people problems,” Booker replies. The same philosophy applies to cattle. Remember, we are constantly teaching cattle how to respond to us. Make sure to teach them the right way to respond. We must break our own bad habits, and we must ensure we are not teaching the cattle any bad habits. Editor’s note: Dave Sjeklocha, DVM, is a technical services veterinarian with Merck Animal Health.

Mycoplasma 101

Accurate diagnosis and prevention are key to managing this vexing pathogen. by Heather Smith Thomas

ycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) is a pathogen affecting cattle and bison. In cattle, it can cause many diseases, including mastitis and arthritis in cows and pneumonia in calves. M. bovis infections may even cause late-term abortion. Not all infected animals get sick. Some just shed these bacteria without any clinical signs.

Mycoplasma is costly

CATTLE HEALTH

“This disease manifests in different ways, depending on the production system and age of the animal,” says Dr. Jennifer Davies, University of Calgary pathologist and director of the university’s diagnostic lab. “Mycoplasma bovis can affect all ages, both beef and dairy, but the manifestations are different. Here in Alberta, in beef cattle country, the most typical presentation we see at the lab is from feedlot animals. “In the feedlot this is an economically devastating disease. It causes chronic disease that responds poorly to antibiotic therapy. As a result, it can have significant animal health and welfare consequences, because we don’t want these animals suffering, and the disease does not respond very well to treatment. About 40% of animals infected with M. bovis in the feedlot either die or are in the chronic pen and then euthanized.” It is not economical, nor humane, to try to keep treating them. “A percentage may respond to treatment and go back to their home pen after extensive antibiotic therapy but never do as well, with significantly reduced weight gains. There is a lot of investment and loss associated with this disease in the feedlot. It also affects cow-calf herds and plays a role in pneumonia in young calves. If they consume milk from a cow with mastitis caused by M. bovis, this can lead to an infection in their middle ear. They may have an ear infection with or without pneumonia,” Davies says. The ear infection may make the calf dull, and the ear and eyelid on that side may droop. “The calf may tilt its head, and this is a typical manifestation of the ear infection rather than pneumonia, but they can go hand in hand. The calf may have one or the other, or both together,” she explains. In dairy cattle, M. bovis is a significant player in mastitis. Most of the cases Davies sees, however, are the result of M. bovis as a factor in respiratory disease. “It is just one of many agents; there are a number of viruses and bacteria that play a role, leading to pneumonia in the feedlot. This bacterium is quite different from some of the other bacterial agents that cause BRD (bovine respiratory disease). It is the smallest living organism that

| February 2024

Much of the defense involves keeping calves healthy with strong immune systems. Then, if faced with this organism, they are better able to fight it off. The time when antimicrobials are most likely to work is if we can diagnose the disease very early. By the time it becomes a chronic disease, the damage is done. When I see them in the laboratory, up to 80% of the lung tissue has been destroyed. There is no coming back from that. — Jennifer Davies, DVM, University of Calgary pathologist and diagnostic lab director can replicate. Along with tiny size, these bacteria have lost much of their genetic material as they evolved. They can’t produce the products they need to survive on their own and are very dependent on living in a host that can provide what they need. The good news is that they don’t survive very well out in the environment,” she explains.

Evasive bacteria

These bacteria are mainly spread from one animal to another by direct contact but may live long enough on feed or in water to be transmitted to another animal. In a cowcalf operation, this infection comes into the herd with an infected animal. “It always comes in with cattle, rather than from the environment. Many cattle have this organism living in their nasal cavity, with no clinical signs of disease. You wouldn’t know they have it, and it’s these asymptomatic carriers that can readily bring it into a herd,” Davies says. As long as it stays in the nasal cavity, it doesn’t do much harm, though it might be transmitting to other animals. When the pathogens get down into the lungs, that’s when damage is done. The lungs are generally well-protected by several defensive mechanisms because the respiratory system is constantly bombarded by pathogens. Part of the lungs’ defensive system includes the tiny hair-like cilia that Hereford.org

line the airways. Cilia move in wavelike fashion to keep moving foreign material up out of those airways. “With every breath taken, some of the bacteria from the nasal cavity goes down into the airways. But as long as there isn’t too much bacteria in the nasal cavity, the lung defenses can handle it. If these defenses are decreased for any reason, however, they can’t even handle the normal amount of bacteria that are taken in with each breath,” Davies says. Stressed cattle often have taxed or overwhelmed immune systems, which can lead to costly disease, especially in the case of M. bovis. “Two things can happen with M. bovis. If a calf is very stressed, for whatever reason, this decreases the immune system’s defenses within the nasal cavity. Those bacteria can go wild and proliferate like crazy. Now, the calf has lots of bacteria in the nasal passages that can be inhaled down into the lungs and overwhelm even a normal, healthy lung’s defense mechanisms,” she explains. “Even more significantly, usually that calf has another infection involving the lungs, lowering the defense mechanisms even more. We often see M. bovis in the lung along with other damaging pathogens. There are usually a host of pathogens interacting, resulting in pneumonia.” Once the lung is breached by these pathogens, the body reacts to try to clear them out. “The immune system mounts a defense to try to clear them, and the defense includes an inflammatory reaction. This inflammation in the lungs is what we call pneumonia,” Davies explains. “The inflammation does more actual damage than the organism does, and the animal starts showing signs of BRD — fever, dull and lethargic, not eating or drinking as much. There may be a cough or nasal discharge; the animal breathes faster and with more difficulty than normal.” M. bovis is extremely good at evading the immune system’s response. “As a result, the body can’t clear the infection. Coupled with the fact that this organism is unresponsive to most antibiotics, it goes into a chronic pneumonia,” she notes. These organisms can even enter the bloodstream from the lungs. “Once they get into the bloodstream they go to many different places in the body, but one of the places they typically end up is in the large joints, like the stifle. The animal gets arthritis when these bacteria set up shop in the large joints. There is an inflammatory reaction in the joint and resulting inflammation often impacts tendons and tissue around the joints. This results in severe and chronic lameness, which does not respond to treatment,” Davies says.

Prevention and health are key

Prevention is the most effective form of treatment. “We try to prevent infection in the herd through biosecurity measures, but this is not a viable option in the feedlot. Much of the defense also involves keeping calves healthy with strong immune systems. Then, if faced with this organism, they are better able to fight it off,” she says. “The time when antimicrobials are most likely to work Hereford.org

is if we can diagnose the disease very early. By the time it becomes a chronic disease, the damage is done. When I see them in the laboratory, up to 80% of the lung tissue has been destroyed. There is no coming back from that. “This is part of the reason antibiotics don’t work; the lungs don’t have the ability to heal that much tissue damage. And since this tiny bacterium has no cell walls, it’s hard to treat because many of our antimicrobials are directed at the cell walls. Early diagnosis and early intervention might improve our chances for successful treatment.” It is important to work with your veterinarian and a laboratory to get an early diagnosis. Diagnosis in the live animal is challenging, however, because normal-looking animals may have M. bovis in the nasal cavity and even in the lung, but do not have the disease. Just finding the organism is not enough for diagnosis. “That animal could just be a healthy, asymptomatic carrier. Unfortunately, in the feedlot, the diagnosis for the herd problem doesn’t occur until a necropsy after the animal has died or been euthanized,” Davies says. A pathologist can see those changes in the tissue, such as pneumonia lesions or arthritic lesions. “The real power of doing a necropsy with lab work is being able to link the presence of the organism to the

Calf lungs permeated by abcesses caused by M. bovis pneumonia.

pathology, and then we know there is a cause-and-effect relationship, rather than thinking this organism is just along for the ride. This is why we recommend that if there is an issue within the herd or some animals are being euthanized or dying, it’s important to get them to the lab as quickly as possible for definitive diagnosis,” Davies explains. “This can help you make an appropriate decision for prevention, management and treatment moving forward — with an established diagnosis.” While there are some vaccines available, the best treatment is vigilance, preparation and prevention.

If you have an expired BQA certification or haven’t yet received your certification, here are four reasons why getting BQA certified is the right choice for you: No. 1.

Uphold consumer confidence in beef. When it comes to making a meal decision, many factors are top of mind for consumers. Of those consumers with concerns about cattle production, 32% are concerned about animal welfare1. Producers becoming BQA certified demonstrate an industry-wide commitment to best management practices, increasing the program’s credibility in consumers’ eyes. The more robust we can make

and show how beef products are made with animal welfare and environmental stewardship at the forefront. No. 4.

Improve the sale of marketed beef cattle. BQA, the more validity it will have for consumers. No. 2.

Enhance herd profitability through better management. BQA practices, like good record keeping and protecting herd health, can result in more profits for producers. When better quality cows leave the farm and reach the marketplace, the producer, packer and consumer all benefit. When better quality beef reaches the supermarket, consumers are more confident in the beef they buy, increasing demand.

Research shows that there is a significant premium for calves and feeder cattle sold through video auction markets when BQA is mentioned in the lot description2 . Ultimately, getting BQA certified is the right thing to do. Add value to your operation and help beef consumers take pride in their beef purchases. Don’t miss out on the new information and resources BQA has to offer. For more information about the Beef Quality Assurance program and to get certified, visit BQA.org. Editor’s Note: Emma Mulvaney is the associate director of BQA programs at National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.

No. 3.

Safeguard the public image of the beef industry. The last thing we want for beef is bad press. Instead, consumers must see beef producers’ collective effort toward beef safety and quality

Preventing Red Water Liver flukes associated with the disease are spreading in some regions. by Heather Smith Thomas

everal serious livestock diseases are caused by a group of bacteria called Clostridia. Most cattle producers are familiar with blackleg (and nearly all stockmen vaccinate for that one) and tetanus, or enterotoxemia, in calves. But others may not be familiar with redwater.

Redwater becoming more common

If liver damage occurs, however, this may provide ideal conditions for spores to multiply and produce toxins which cause a cascade of events leading to redwater disease. The liver damage that triggers this growth can be from any insult on liver tissue, but damage due to liver flukes is often associated with redwater.

CATTLE HEALTH

Redwater (Bacillary hemoglobinuria) is caused by What are liver flukes? These parasitic flatworms start their life cycle in tiny Clostridium haemolyticum. This disease is more common freshwater snails but end up in the livers of grazing in adult cattle. Clinical signs may include red urine, animals, such as cattle, sheep, elk and deer, where they blood-stained feces, yellow (icteric) mucous membranes grow, mature and pass their eggs. Feces containing fluke and severely depressed animals. In most cases, the only eggs must land in water for transmission to snails. If the sign a producer may see is dead livestock due to the rapid feces lands on dry ground, the eggs die. progression of the disease. In water, the eggs hatch; the immature flukes, like tiny “Until two years ago, redwater was not considered a tadpoles, start swimming and looking for a snail. They problem in Missouri,” says Craig Payne, DVM, University penetrate the soft foot of the snail, get into its body and of Missouri associate Extension professor. Several cases start multiplying.

The small number of this is an opportunity Cattle in North America primarily cases confirmed at the lab do not get two types of liver flukes — the reflect the magnitude of the problem for the rancher and cattle fluke, Fasciola hepatica, and the based on feedback he has received veterinarian to find out giant deer fluke, Fascioloides magna. from veterinarians and producers.

However, because these parasites are can germinate, multiply and produce lethal toxins. endemic in wildlife and get picked up by cattle, deer In the case of redwater, Clostridium haemolyticum flukes in cattle can be more difficult to control. spores are ingested by cattle, cross the intestinal wall and Anne Rogers, DVM, Edson Veterinary Clinic, Edson, are carried to the liver via blood circulation. Alberta, Canada, has seen a growing number of cases “In the liver, the spores are ‘phagocytized’ (ingested) of deer flukes crossing from elk into cattle. “We used by what are called Kupfer cells (that engulf the spore and to see this problem primarily in cattle grazing pastures create a compartment around it), and these spores can that had previously been used by farmed elk, but now remain dormant for months,” Payne says.

these parasites are also in the wildlife population; this problem is increasingly spreading west over our practice area,” she says. “We tend to see flukes most commonly in cattle grazing low-lying areas that have water (marshes, etc.), since a snail is the intermediate host. These flukes damage the liver, and we’ve seen everything from cattle not doing well to cattle that die of liver failure if the damage is severe.” More urgently, cattle can suddenly die from redwater disease. “If we find flukes where a rancher is grazing cattle or the neighbor has had flukes, we recommend vaccinating annually with a Clostridial vaccine that contains protection against redwater,” Rogers says. In some areas, ranchers need to vaccinate twice a year. It’s helpful to know the cause of death in any animal that dies. “If you find one dead and don’t know why it died, this is an opportunity for the rancher and veterinarian to find out what’s going on in the herd. This helps us, as veterinarians, keep track of diseases endemic to the area, like liver flukes and redwater,” Rogers notes. With cattle flukes (Fasciola hepatica), a veterinarian can determine if an animal is carrying these parasites because the feces can be checked for eggs. “But with the deer fluke, there’s not a good way to test and diagnose this in the live animal,” Rogers says. These flukes get walled off in the liver and are not passing eggs. The problem is generally not diagnosed until the animal dies or is slaughtered. Though some animals do poorly and lose weight, others appear perfectly healthy. “We’ve found deer flukes in 4-H steers that were fat and healthy,” she says. The liver may be full of flukes, but if the parasites haven’t yet done enough damage to create an impact, it often isn’t found until harvest. If a damaged liver is discovered after harvest, but the animal seemed healthy otherwise, the liver will be condemned, but the rest of the meat is fine for consumption. “Sometimes deer flukes get mixed up, since they are in the wrong host, and migrate through the body instead of going to the liver. I have found them in the lungs of cattle, creating an issue there,” Rogers says.

Treatment

The typical treatment for cattle flukes is Albendazole (Valbazen), which kills mature flukes in the liver. But it doesn’t work as well for deer flukes. “If we find a herd that has an issue with deer flukes, we use Albendazole in higher dosage. At necropsy (in treated animals), we’ll find dead flukes in the liver, so it does seem to kill them. There is no drug specifically labeled for deer flukes, however, so your veterinarian would have to recommend and prescribe the higher dose,” she says. To effectively treat flukes (cattle flukes or deer flukes), people should work with their veterinarian regarding products, dosage and timing since you need to treat cattle at a certain stage of the fluke life cycle. “The flukes must be at a certain level of maturity before they are susceptible to the drug. There are also Hereford.org

cautions about using Albendazole during the first trimester of pregnancy,” Rogers says. The crucial thing is to vaccinate at least annually for redwater. “In many regions, ranchers used to simply vaccinate young cattle for blackleg and maybe revaccinate every few years and got by. I have been trying to educate producers and let them know they need to vaccinate every year with the 8-way vaccine that also contains protection against redwater. This is a very inexpensive and effective vaccine,” she explains.

Cattle carrying liver flukes associated with redwater disease can appear to be perfectly healthy.

It’s hard to say how prevalent deer flukes are in the wildlife or how many hunters have found damaged livers in deer, elk and moose; it’s a little easier to keep track of it in the cattle. The local custom butcher lets her know when he finds a damaged liver. “With veterinarians, ranchers and butchers working together, we get a better picture of what’s going on,” Rogers says. Deer flukes are an issue in southern Manitoba and parts of the U.S. The cattle fluke is more common in many areas. Redwater is also becoming more common; producers in certain areas are now having to vaccinate even though they’d never had any cases in the past. “For instance, 20 years ago we didn’t have redwater in our practice area, but it’s been steadily increasing in incidence, moving across this region. Parasites move around with their hosts, and so do various diseases,” Rogers says. Wherever there is snail habitat, there is potential for flukes, and wherever there are Clostridial diseases in cattle, they can spread with movement of cattle into new areas. In earlier years, flukes were mainly a problem in Gulf Coast states, Pacific Coast regions and parts of the Intermountain West, but today are found in many states due to the constant movement of cattle, wildlife and hay.

Normal Weather Patterns Ahead El Niño effects expected to dissipate in April. by Katie Maupin Miller

Seasonal Precipitation Outlook (April 2024 - June 2024) Issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Dec. 21, 2023

| February 2024

hile one-third of the nation’s cow herd and hay production areas continued to be affected by drought at the close of last year, there is hope that the shift to a more neutral weather pattern will bring continued reprieve from the remaining regions of drought that affected nearly three-quarters of the U.S. cow herd at its height. El Niño drives the Pacific Jet Stream south. This translates into wetter than normal winter weather conditions over the southern United States and warmer and drier weather in the north. El Niño is expected to steer the forecast this winter and spring before forecasting models predict a rapid return to neutral conditions from April to July, where the oceanic air won’t play such a significant role in the contiguous states’ climate. For cattle producers in the Northern and Central Plains and Southwest U.S., this means El Niño will no longer be affecting the weather during peak forage production months stretching from late spring to early summer. For cattlemen in the Rocky Mountains and Colorado Plateau, all longrange forecasts point to average precipitation in the region over the winter and during most critical months for precipitation to translate into forage production — October through April — according to the National Drought Mitigation Center. This generally neutral forecast for spring leading into

summer brings hope to cattlemen that they will receive enough precipitation to bolster forages as this critical precipitation window closes.

Seasonal Temperature Outlook (Febuary 2024 - April 2024) Issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Dec. 21, 2023

Forecasting the cattle cycle

While the drought and higher input prices were two of the large drivers in the reduced cattle inventory, the Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC) believes it is unlikely any significant herd rebuilding efforts will occur this year. “A larger proportion of the U.S. beef cow inventory is located in the southern U.S., and this region has been experiencing drought conditions for several months,” Tyler Cozzens, LMIC agricultural economist, says. “Drought conditions in other regions of the U.S. (e.g., Northern Plains) have been limited, which could provide these producers an opportunity to expand. These expansion efforts will likely be regionalized and may be limited in scope, which is unlikely to generate a significant change in overall inventory levels on Jan. 1, 2025.” LMIC expects a lower beef cow inventory than last year, with both beef cow and heifer slaughter in 2023 tracking lower than in 2022, yet higher than the five-year average. “Both beef cow and heifer slaughter will be indicators in 2024 if producers have started rebuilding efforts,” explains Cozzens. Based on the previous cattle cycle, Cozzens reminds producers that prices will likely move lower once supply levels increase. “During the last cattle cycle, cattle inventory levels reached the lowest point in 2014. The lower supplies led to calf prices reaching about $250 per cwt. These strong prices continued into 2015. As rebuilding efforts started to take place in 2015, supplies increased, causing calf prices to decline,” he notes.

From the Field New Arrivals

Kinley Copeland

Matt and Alyssa Copeland of Copeland & Sons Herefords LLC, Nara Visa, N.M., announce the birth of their daughter, Kinley Saige Copeland. Born Dec. 13, 2023, she weighed 7 lbs., 15 oz., and was 20.5 inches long. Kinley joins big sister, Cally Jo, and was welcomed to the ranch by her grandparents, Cliff and Pat Copeland.

AHA CORNER

In Passing Robert L. (Bob) Harrell, 85, Baker City, Ore., passed Nov. 12, 2023. Robert L. (Bob) Harrell Bob Harrell Sr. passed away peacefully Nov. 12, 2023, of natural causes, following several years of overcoming the effects of strokes in his later years. Born in Grants Pass, Ore., he was the son of Lyle Harry Harrell, an Oregon State Police officer, and his mother, Frances Marie Harrell. At the age of 10, Bob, sister Barbara Mae and family moved to Baker City, Ore., where he graduated from Baker High School with many lifelong friends and fond memories.

After graduating from Baker High School, Bob attended Stanford University on a football scholarship. He married his first wife, Edna Rogers, in 1959. After graduating in 1960, he realized his dream of joining the Air Force, undergoing training at Travis Air Force Base. He graduated first in his class at Williams Air Force Base, then the leading pilot training program in the U.S. His favorite movies were always the Top Gun series. Bob’s Air Force career included Vietnam War missions and flying for the 354th and 356th “Green Demons” Tactical Fighter Squadrons, based at Myrtle Beach, S.C. He flew the fastest jets of the time, including the T-33 and T-38 trainers, the F-101, F-104, the F-100 Super Sabre and the F4 Phantom. He was posted all over the world, including Aviano, Italy, and Incirlik, Turkey. Honorably discharged in 1965, Bob continued to fly for the Nevada Air National Guard and beyond, including classified missions. He earned many commendations, including the Silver Star citation for valor. In 1966, Bob began flying for Pan Am, the premier commercial airline at the time. He flew the Boeing 707 as first officer, graduated to the 747, for years flying the Pacific routes, but the highlight of his career was flying 727s as a captain out of Berlin, Germany, when it was divided by the Berlin Wall and partly under Soviet control. He flew all over Europe, thrilled with the short trips that allowed more takeoffs and landings. When the wall finally came down in 1989, Bob retrieved pieces of it for family members and friends.

| February 2024

In 1968, Bob had a vision and in 1970, Bob and his wife, Edna, founded Harrell Hereford Ranch outside Baker City with the purchase of 100 cows from TT Herefords. The ranch grew in size and scope by adding additional ranches and purchasing an additional 50 cows from the Stone Dispersion. The ranch exhibited numerous champions from Cow Palace to Filer, Idaho, and to the National Western Stock Show in Denver Colo., where they had the 1984 reserve national champion bull with L1 Challenger. Today the ranch includes more than 15,000 acres and consists of Hereford, Angus, commercial cows and Quarter Horses. It was always a family affair, which included their three kids — Beth, Bob Jr. and Linda — helping with ranch duties, starting and training horses, AI and embryo transfer with the cow herd, and farming operations. This year will be the 45th annual Production Sale held each spring at the ranch facilities. Now run by Edna and Bob Jr. and family, and an enormous source of pride for Bob Sr., the ranch has become one of the most respected purebred Hereford operations in the country, being listed as one of the top 10 sale averages for sales selling more than 100 bulls. After the 1988 bombing of Pan Am’s flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which led to the ultimate collapse of the airline, and no longer able to fly for his beloved Pan Am, Bob, like so many of his fellow pilots, sought other cockpits. He joined Korean Airlines as a captain, and later United Airlines. He flew for United until it, too, suffered

the impacts of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. Bob remarried in 1988, and he and wife, Deb, had two children, Doug and Kelsey, and made their home in Bellevue, Wash. Bob continued to find a way to stay connected to the airlines. He became a flight instructor with United (737s) based in Denver, and later a pilot training consultant for Boeing Commercial Airlines. After retiring from United Airlines at the age of 65, Bob suffered a stroke in 2009 and another two followed. But the man who had built a ranch and remodeled the family home went on to earn certifications as a property manager, managing a large condo complex on the Eastside. Yet his love of planes remained. Bob started volunteering at the Seattle Museum of Flight in December 2012. He graduated from the March 2013 docent class and became a volunteer docent until two days before he died. He had 2,357 volunteer hours and received the museum’s 2,000hour “Barnstormer Award” in 2021. Bob was a man of many interests in his life, including hunting, hiking, sailing, skiing, rafting and photography, as well as flying and ranching; plus, he enjoyed attending numerous cattle sales and shows. He was also active in his community and believed in giving back. He served on the Baker School Board, local Rotary Club, was a Boy Scout leader and belonged to the Order of the Elks. Bob was instrumental in the formation of the Anthony Lakes Ski Resort and served on the board

Hereford.org

at the time of the first chair lift and new lodge, which is still in use today. He also helped rescue a derelict narrow gauge steam engine from Skagway, Alaska, spearheading an effort to restore it as the “Steam Engine” for the Sumpter Valley Railroad in Baker County. He was very active in his church and enjoyed singing in the choir for the First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue, helped restore cars with the nonprofit Auto Angels and worked with men experiencing homelessness. Through it all, Bob was a loving father who earned the respect of all his kids and both wives. He adored his blended family and will be remembered above all for his spirit and determination. Despite suffering many losses, he retained a positive attitude, a big heart and an unshakeable faith in God. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Debera Carlton Harrell; first wife, Edna Rogers Harrell; sons, Robert (Becky) Harrell Jr. and Douglas (Kiersten) Harrell; daughters, Beth (Wannie) Mackenzie, Linda (Walt) Anderson and Kelsey Harrell; and five grandchildren: Duncan Mackenzie, Lexie Harrell, Maggie Mackenzie and twins Matt and Marti Anderson.

Robert “Bob” Frederick Hayes, 83, Burbank, Wash., passed Nov. 17, 2023. His wife, Bob Hayes Fran; son, Jim; daughter, Stacey; son-in-law, Dwight; and grandchildren Leighton and Haley (and her fiancé Ethan) were by his side. Bob was born June 4, 1940, in Spokane, Wash., to James Lynn Hayes and Bernice Johnson Hayes. He grew up in the Pine City, Wash., area and attended

Hereford.org

school there until its closure in 1956, continuing his education in St. John, Wash., where he graduated in 1958. On June 26, 1965, Bob married the love of his life, Frances “Fran” Marie Brown. They made their home in St. John until they moved to Moses Lake, Wash., in 1992, and then Burbank, Wash., in 2015. Bob worked in agriculture all his life from driving wheat trucks to hauling hay and working cattle. He was employed with Wilber Ellis and Western Farm Service and was an agronomy manager at St. John Grange Supply for many years. He was a member of the St. John Fire Department, St. John Saddle Club, an honorary member of St. John FFA and was a lifetime member of the Kenova Grange in Pine City. Bob took great pride in his registered Hereford ranch, Hayes Herefords, and remained active in the cattle community by being a member of the American Hereford Association; Oregon, Washington, Northern Idaho Hereford Association; and the Columbia Empire Hereford Association. In 2008, Bob received the Grant County Cattleman of the Year Award. His greatest joy was traveling and watching his kids and grandchildren show his cattle around the Western U.S. Bob is survived by Fran, his wife of 58 years; his faithful companion, Trixie; son, James “Jim” Lyle Hayes; daughter, Stacey Lynn (Dwight) Hayes Dorman; four grandchildren, Haley (Ethan) Dorman, Leighton Dorman, Ransom Hayes and Robert “Bobby” Hayes. He was preceded in death by his father, James Lynn Hayes, and mother, Bernice Johnson Hayes.

Gary Louis Latimer, 74, Olds, Alberta, Canada, passed Dec. 14, 2023. Gary was born Gary Latimer in Olds, on Nov. 16, 1949, and was the second of six children of Louis and Jean Latimer. Gary was raised on the family farm south of Olds, where he developed a passion for agriculture, especially purebred cattle. In 1976, along with his wife, Jacci, they joined with his parents and brother Bryan in a partnership that would become one of the most recognized Hereford and Angus herds in the world under the name Remitall Cattle Co. In 2009, Gary and his son, Richard, partnered in Remitall Farms, focusing on Angus cattle. Gary was recognized as a respected cattleman who was asked to judge cattle shows in South America, Europe, the United States and across Canada. Gary served as president of the Canadian Angus Association, the Canadian Gelbvieh Association, the Alberta Hereford Association and the Olds Agricultural Society. In 1973, he married the love of his life, Jacci, and they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2023. Together, they raised four children (Michael, Richard, Jeff and Sara) on the farm in Olds. In 2005 the first grandchild arrived, and Gary fully embraced his role as grandfather ‘Papa.’ Along with Jacci, he attended countless hockey games and other sporting and youth events. Gary was a true family man who was kind, nurturing and provided honest guidance when needed. Gary is predeceased by his parents, Louis and Jean Latimer; and his father- and

mother-in-law, Jack and Lil Cruickshank. He is survived by his wife, Jacci; children: Michael (Kajal) Latimer, Richard (Kelly) Latimer, Jeff (Danielle) Latimer, Sara (Dusty) Howell; 12 grandchildren: Jack, Alix, Lauren, Lilly, Nick, Mya, Louis, Sadee, Reed, Ella, Gordon and Ripp; siblings: Linda (d. Doug) Henderson, Marlene (Ian) Harvie, Nancy Latimer, Bryan (Annette) Latimer, and Elaine (Greg) Urwin; along with numerous nieces and nephews. Judith A. Fiedler, 88, Stanford, Mont., passed Dec. 15, 2023. Judy was born on April 18, Judy Fiedler 1935, in Salinas, Calif., to Armin and Marion Neubert, and joined older brother Armin Jr. to complete the family. She spent her early childhood in California where her family owned a produce cold storage facility. In 1950, she and her folks moved to their RW Ranch out of Stanford, Mont. Judy spent all but a few years of her life on the RW, in the foothills of the Little Belt Mountains, always able to see her beloved “Baldy” and “Sleeping Lady.” She graduated from Stanford High School in 1953 and then headed to Montana State University (MSU) where she was active in the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority and the rodeo team. She won an all-around title and became the MSU Rodeo Queen in 1956. Always proud to be a Montana State Bobcat, she attended several MSU reunions, the last being in 2017, her 60th. With an elementary education degree, she proudly spent one year teaching first graders at

...From the Field continued from page 95

Whittier Elementary in Great Falls, Mont. On Dec. 10, 1959, she married James Fiedler. They made their home on the Neubert homestead where they ranched and raised their three kids, Jan, Jimmy and Jean, and instilled in them the strongest work ethic and love for their cattle and the land. Always available and willing to help on the ranch, she was our “weed warrior,” spending many hours spraying weeds, as well as being a miracle worker for sick or injured animals and riding with her family. She was a perfectionist in everything she did, from her home, to cooking and baking, her penmanship, ranch bookkeeping and to the way she presented herself. Mom was a spectacular cook and baker. Many meals were made with love and pride for family, friends and ranch employees. She loved shopping for and refinishing antiques, the Western Art show, a new batch of kittens or puppies, a faithful dog, a good-looking grey horse, her yearly hike in Glacier Park with friends, wildlife, wildflowers, good food and an uncontrollable tear-filled laugh. Baba, as she was known by her grandchildren, had absolute joy being with them. Always the schoolteacher, she loved to read books to them and take them on a nature adventure. Mother was very private, soft-spoken and kindhearted. She possessed strong moral values and lived her life faithful to God. Survivors include daughter, Jan (Ned) Ward and their daughter, Bell Ward, all of Sheridan, Wyo.; her late son Jim’s children, Frank (Kirstie) Fiedler, Garth (Shelby) Fiedler all of Stanford, and Addie (Will) Held of Townsend,

Mont.; daughter, Jean (Todd) Klick of Simms, Mont., and their children, Katy (Aaron) Griffen of Fort Shaw, Mont., and Nora Klick of Simms; and her daughter-in-law, Pam Fiedler of Stanford. She is also survived by her eight grandchildren: Heidi, James and Lane Fiedler; Zoey, Lexi and Tate Fiedler; Knox Held; and Ruby Griffen. In addition to her son, James Armin Fiedler, she was preceded in death by her husband, James A. Fiedler; her parents, Armin and Marion Neubert; and her brother, Armin Neubert Jr. Jarold Eldon Callahan, 68, Edmond, Okla., passed Dec. 23, 2023. Jarold was Jarold Callahan born on Sept. 17, 1954, to Joe and Maxine (Spurgeon) Callahan, who instilled in him commitment to family, work ethic and integrity. He grew up on a diversified family farm and cattle operation northwest of Welch, Okla. As a youth, his passion for farming and ranching was evident as he was driving a tractor as soon as (or maybe before) his father would let him. He attended Welch High School, where he excelled at academics, livestock judging and basketball (although he probably wouldn’t have ranked it in that order). He continued his livestock judging career at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M (NEO), where he received his associate degree in 1974. He later went on to receive a bachelor’s degree in animal science from Oklahoma State University (OSU), where he was a member of the 1975 OSU livestock judging team and graduated as one of the Top 10 Seniors in the College of Agriculture in 1976.

| February 2024

He later received his master’s degree in agriculture (animal science) from the University of Arkansas. Jarold coached the livestock judging team at NEO from 1976 to 1982, where he also served as Chair of the Agriculture Division. Jarold served as an instructor and coached the livestock judging team at OSU from 1982 to 1991, where he was promoted to assistant professor in 1990. He impacted the lives of many students through his coaching in his time at both institutions, and he later served on the Oklahoma A&M Board of Regents. During his tenure at NEO and OSU, he was blessed to coach, advise and mentor many talented young students and build lifelong relationships as those students became friends and colleagues. Jarold served as the executive vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) from 1991 to 1995. A life-long learner, Jarold’s time at the OCA found him exploring new roles as an advocate for the beef cattle industry. He became president of Express Ranches, one of the largest purebred cattle operations in the world, from 1996 to 2023. Bob Funk and Express Ranches gave Jarold the opportunity to innovate and help shape the future of the purebred beef cattle industry. He was truly thankful to be a part of such a talented, loyal and dedicated team. Jarold’s many accomplishments and contributions were most recently recognized by being selected as the 2023 inductee to the Saddle and Sirloin Portrait Gallery.

Jarold dedicated his whole life to being a loyal, hardworking and generous person who prioritized his family, friends, education and beef cattle improvement. He loved Oklahoma, OSU, cattle, his wife and partner Jennifer, and his family. Of all of Jarold’s accomplishments, he was most proud of his children Brian, Tracie and Ryan. He was preceded in death by his father, Joe E. Callahan, in 2015, and his grandparents. The surviving family includes, his wife, Jennifer Callahan, of the home; his mother, Maxine Callahan of Welch; his children: Brian (Angie) Callahan of Dallas, Texas, Tracie (Lenny) Poage of Yukon, Okla., and Ryan Callahan and girlfriend, Taylor Gazda, of Edmond; his brother Tommy (Sherri) Callahan of Welch; sisters, Linda (Leon) Hogan of Tulsa, Okla., Shirley (Gene) Cunningham of Pittsburg, Kan., and Nancy Callahan of Stillwater, Okla.; six grandchildren: Michael, Kathryn and Jake Callahan, and Cody, Sydney and Bryce Poage. Editor’s note: Jarold Callahan was recently featured in the January issue of Baldy Advantage. Read about his lifelong commitment to the beef industry and his recent induction into the Saddle and Sirloin Portrait Gallery in the article titled “Renaissance Cowman” on Page 46 of the January 2024 issue or view the story online at Hereford.org/wp-content/ uploads/2023/12/0124_CallahanRenaissance-Cowman.pdf.
