The Road to Performance

Returning to his “routes,” fifth-generation rancher Luke Kovarik capitalizes on heterosis to boost demand. by Brooklyn Adam and Diane Meyer

here is something uniquely rewarding about growing up on a family ranch and learning the ins and outs of cattle breeding. A lesson often passed down from previous generations, understanding genetics and how to raise functional cattle, is a staple of an industry shaped by heritage and good genetics. Following graduation from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2010, fifth-generation cattle rancher Luke Kovarik returned home to continue his work to build and to improve the family’s cattle operation. “All roads lead to Ord,” Luke says of his close-knit hometown in central Nebraska. The headquarters of the Kovarik family ranch sits overlooking the North Loup River on land purchased in 1946 by Luke’s paternal grandparents. Back then, it was a single quarter of ground and home to chickens, pigs, dairy cows, beef cows, horses and a big garden. While not a full-time rancher himself, Luke’s father, Duane, still worked

hard to add adjoining land to the homestead throughout the ’90s and early 2000s. In 2009 a joint land purchase between father and son nearly doubled the current size of the operation, finally allowing Luke the opportunity for which he had been waiting. Equipped with a bachelor’s degree in animal science and a master’s in ruminant nutrition, he returned home and began his work to build Kovarik Cattle Co.

Driven to differentiate Although experienced, after college Luke lacked the equity needed to run his own cattle ranch. Sitting in the driver’s seat of Kovarik Cattle, his first course of action was to lease land and some cows from his father, as well as additional land and roughly 250 cows from a nearby cattleman. Leasing was a good way to build numbers, to keep some heifers and to get the wheels rolling. In addition to equity, Luke knew he needed to add value to his herd. Building on successful breeding strategies from previous generations, he combined the ideal genetics of two British breeds to reap the valuable continued on page 28...

Sights Set on Successful Seedstock

by Jack Ward

It is an exciting time for seedstock producers to improve the industry by using the genetic tools available. Many of you can remember Wendy’s advertising tagline, “Where’s the Beef?” It has been recognized as one of the top 100 taglines of all time, and even though it had a different purpose, I think it explains very quickly some of the great accomplishments the U.S. beef industry has achieved. One element to measure profitability within a commercial cow herd is the pounds of beef produced per cow exposed. It has been reported over the past several years that the U.S. has seen a 15 to 20 percent increase in production. In 2017, we saw about the same amount of beef produced compared to 2003 with about 13 percent fewer cows. Over the past 20 years, the average finish weight has increased nearly 160 pounds on average. There are a number of factors affecting these increases, including nutrition and health improvements, but there has also been a huge change in genetics and genetic selection tools. We have seen significant genetic improvement in the Hereford breed.

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

Below are some tables outlining the progress made.

Making improvement The genetic tools added over the years have allowed seedstock producers to make improvements in several areas, and these improvements have provided a product commercial producers can utilize to add dollars to their bottom lines. These tools allow the industry to make selections on antagonist traits, and as we continue to add traits for economic relevance, seedstock producers will need to continue to work with customers to identify those that will keep adding profitability. For instance, how can the industry sustain performance and growth without exceeding a mature size or inputs associated with a profitable bottom line? Producers must push the boundaries, but we now have tools to measure inputs to maximize profitability. The seedstock producer has an incredible opportunity in the

beef industry. In some ways, it is a bit daunting. The total number of registered cows in the U.S. across all breeds represents about 2 percent of the entire cow herd. The majority of bulls utilized in the commercial cow herd are produced by seedstock producers, and most of those bulls are virgin bulls. For the industry to continue to make progress and be sustainable, it must embrace technology. It is imperative to utilize all tools available, but it is also important to keep your mind focused on type traits, as well. Those include feet and legs, confirmation and structure, fleshing ability, and, most importantly, disposition. What an opportunity we have as seedstock producers. Listen to your customers and the industry, and we will continue to keep Hereford genetics at the forefront of the commercial industry.

Review the National Reference Sire Program results from 2017-born calves in the Olsen Ranch test herd.

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.

Below are the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) results from 2017-born calves at Olsen Ranch in Harrisburg, Neb. The cow base used at Olsen Ranch for the NRSP is a commercial Hereford herd, and this year is the ranch’s 20th anniversary of providing phenomenal results. Because of the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) partnerships with various test herds like Olsen’s, breeders can make better-informed decisions relative to traits of interest.

to further validate their values and to compare those young sires with the Hereford population. Ultimately the AHA’s goal is to identify young sires that can positively affect the marketplace and give seedstock and commercial breeders alike proof Hereford genetics are profitable.

2017 Olsen Ranch results Table 1 lists the phenotypic averages by sire group for dry matter intake (DMI) and average daily gain (ADG), along with calculated feed conversion (F:G) results. The adjusted F:G ratio takes body weight into account. Likewise, Table 2 lists the complete performance results from birth to harvest by sire group. It is important to note the two distinct groups were analyzed separately, as the first calf heifers were managed differently from the mature cows. Consequently, two separate contemporary groups were formed, and data should only be compared within each group. Table 3 showcases the phenotypic averages of each group to complement tables 1 and 2. In regards to the progeny averages, both groups of cattle performed extremely well on their 70-day feed test. Also, each group had very impressive marbling score averages. The progeny out of the heifers averaged 634 (high Choice), while the progeny out of the cows averaged 589 (top-end average Choice). In fact, 77 percent of the 253 steers evaluated graded a remarkable upper-two-thirds Choice and higher. These impressive marbling achievements are attributed to the

strict selection emphasis of Olsen Ranch and are a true testament to the progress made in the breed! Both groups of cattle offered more-thanacceptable carcass weight and ribeye area but were pushed a little past their optimum end points based on their backfat measurements. Table 4 shows the improvements in accuracy as a result of collecting actual carcass data. Prior to the test, there were 11 sires that did not have carcass progeny data, but after participating in the NRSP, these sires saw a valuable increase in carcass accuracy values. This increase confirms the value of enrolling young sires in the NRSP, as the program proves the genetic merit of these up-and-coming sires as well as identifies bulls that truly check the boxes at the given data points. Table 5 displays the expected progeny differences (EPDs) for the sires used in the Olsen test and are reflective of the genetic evaluation released Jan. 28, 2019. All phenotypes measured are included in this genetic evaluation release. Regardless, I encourage you to study the genetic profiles of the sires used to find a bull that will work in your program. In my opinion, there are several bulls that will satisfy multiple economically relevant traits (ERTs). If interested in participating in the NRSP, please refer to the nomination form or visit Hereford.org/NRSP. Nominations are due March 1.

New MyHerd platform released

self-starters, detail-oriented, outgoing and able to work well with all types of people. Travel to the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) and other shows is required. The internship will span from approximately mid-May to mid-August, with specific starting and ending dates depending on the applicant’s availability. To apply, send a cover letter, resume and references by Feb. 15 to Amy Cowan, AHA director of youth activities, acowan@hereford.org or to 11500 N. Ambassador Dr., Ste. 410, Kansas City, MO, 64153. JNHE ambassador program: College students may also apply for the JNHE ambassador program. The 2019 ambassadors will assist the National Junior Hereford Association board and e AHA staff throughout the week of and prior to the JNHE. This year’s show will take place July 6-13 in Denver. Ambassadors will spend the week before at the AHA office in Kansas City. Candidates must be a 2019 high school graduate, or older, and must have national show experience. Ambassadors cannot be exhibitors or competitors at the 2019 JNHE. Applications and additional information on both the intern and ambassador positions can be found online at Hereford.org/youth/njha/ internships-ambassador-program/.

The AHA has been working on revamping the MyHerd online registry system in an effort to make the platform more user-friendly. The updated platform was launched at the end of January. Two main goals of the MyHerd redevelopment are to boost system performance and to make the system more compatible with mobile browsers. One of the most noticeable changes in the new platform is the log-in routine. The reason for the change is to keep the process more secure by allowing users to change both their password and username as well as having the ability to add multiple users to their account. Since the AHA’s first online accounts were launched in 2003, member IDs (account number) have served as the username. Although using a member ID makes the username easy to remember, it also means there is no ability for members to change their user name to prevent their account from getting hacked. The new MyHerd platform will use an email address as the username. For more information about updates to the new MyHerd, see Page 16.

AHA mailing address reminder The American Hereford Association (AHA) moved its headquarters in February 2018. Please remember to send correspondence to the new address below. Mail delivered to the old Wyandotte address will no longer be forwarded to the new address and, therefore, will not reach the AHA office.

The current street and mailing address is: 11500 N. Ambassador Dr., Ste. 410 Kansas City, MO 64153

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) should be given only by subcutaneous injection in front of the shoulder at the recommended dosage level of 1 mg eprinomectin per kg body weight (1 mL per 110 lb body weight). WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Withdrawal Periods and Residue Warnings Animals intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 48 days of the last treatment. This drug product is not approved for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, including dry dairy cows. Use in these cattle may cause drug residues in milk and/or in calves born to these cows. A withdrawal period has not been established for pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal. Animal Safety Warnings and Precautions The product is likely to cause tissue damage at the site of injection, including possible granulomas and necrosis. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. Local tissue reaction may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter. Observe cattle for injection site reactions. If injection site reactions are suspected, consult your veterinarian. This product is not for intravenous or intramuscular use. Protect product from light. LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) has been developed specifically for use in cattle only. This product should not be used in other animal species. When to Treat Cattle with Grubs LONGRANGE effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season. Environmental Hazards Not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive rotational grazing because the environmental impact has not been evaluated for these scenarios. Other Warnings: Underdosing and/or subtherapeutic concentrations of extended-release anthelmintic products may encourage the development of parasite resistance. It is recommended that parasite resistance be monitored following the use of any anthelmintic with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test program. TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY Clinical studies have demonstrated the wide margin of safety of LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin). Overdosing at 3 to 5 times the recommended dose resulted in a statistically significant reduction in average weight gain when compared to the group tested at label dose. Treatment-related lesions observed in most cattle administered the product included swelling, hyperemia, or necrosis in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin. The administration of LONGRANGE at 3 times the recommended therapeutic dose had no adverse reproductive effects on beef cows at all stages of breeding or pregnancy or on their calves. Not for use in bulls, as reproductive safety testing has not been conducted in males intended for breeding or actively breeding. Not for use in calves less than 3 months of age because safety testing has not been conducted in calves less than 3 months of age.

We have made numerous changes and updates to MyHerd, but the two biggest changes are the ability to request DNA tests on multiple animals at once and the ability to transfer multiple bulls and females (bred or open) to the same buyer. If you have a group of bred females all purchased by the same person, you can now transfer all those females at the same time along with entering their service information. You can also transfer any bulls purchased by that same person at the same time as transferring the females. You can now request testing on multiple animals at the same time instead of requesting DNA tests individually. Additionally, the program allows you to set a default test. You can make a change to one or two animals and their specific tests without having to request those animals individually. As always, DNA submission forms will not be emailed until you have paid your MyHerd transactions. One exciting addition is the ability to invite other users to have access to your account. Once you are signed up for MyHerd, you can invite other people to your account using their email address. This option is extremely helpful for breeders who may have several If you have forgotten your password, simply type in different people that log into their the email address you used to sign up and click the account to enter information.

With the revitalization, one of the major changes is how you log in. If you were already signed up as a MyHerd user, you should have received multiple notices from the American Hereford Association (AHA) over the past few weeks about these upcoming changes and what to expect. The last email you received should have been an invitation containing a link to sign up for the updated MyHerd. The link in that email will take you to the log-in screen of MyHerd and prompt you to set up your new username and password. Your username will no longer be your membership number. Instead, you will use an email address. This change is an update we have made to help with security. You will also create your own password.

GENERATIONS. That’s Why You Need LongRange®(eprinomectin) For Up To 150 Days Of Parasite Control.1 Bloodlines. You’re as proud of yours as you are of theirs. But if you used a short-term dewormer like Cydectin® (moxidectin) or Dectomax® (doramectin), you may not have been doing your genetics justice. That’s because your cows and heifers were probably reinfected with parasites just halfway through the grazing season – right when they need to gain weight to breed back and give milk.

Set a Course for Your Marketing Plan

by Trey Befort

It may seem like an activity near the bottom of the priority list for some at this point in the year, but now is a great time for producers to start thinking about developing a marketing plan for the next calf crop. With calves starting to hit the ground now, or getting ready to in the next few months, having an endpoint in mind at the start will help make sound management decisions as calves move closer to marketing time.

January’s Commercial Connection column outlined the various commercial programs the American Hereford Association (AHA) offers — the Hereford Advantage, Maternal Advantage and Premium Red Baldy programs. These are great tools for producers to take advantage of, and it is never too early for producers to contact the AHA to see which program(s) will benefit their operations. Along with the aforementioned AHA commercial programs, there are a growing number of value-added programs available for producers to consider. Because there is no one-sizefits-all program, producers should first take a look at their current practices to see which programs will add value to their operation and would not require making any drastic management changes. For example, some verification programs, such as Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC) or the various verified “Natural” programs, require specific management practices to be followed, so producers should be educated on the requirements if they plan to participate. To learn more about these opportunities, I encourage producers to contact their marketing representative to discuss these different programs, their relevance in the current marketplace and the requirements associated with them. Regardless of what program(s) producers decide to participate in and market through, it is a good idea to be educated on the options and tools available. One additional free tool to mention is the listing pages found on the AHA website (see image above). Available groups of feeder cattle or commercial females can be listed free of charge and will provide additional exposure to the marketplace. Visit Hereford.org to obtain more information and to take advantage of the tools discussed. Trey Befort is the director of commercial programs for the American Hereford Association.

CHB Bites

Consumer Trends in 2019

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.

February is here, and we are a month into 2019. The year is already flying by! It is always intriguing to take a step back at the beginning of each year and dive into the research studies identifying consumer trends. From meal kits to foreign flavors, 2019 is shaping up to be an interesting year. One of the top consumer trends identified this year is convenience. The family unit is getting busier and busier, and gone are the days of slaving

in the kitchen for hours to create the perfect meal. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly half of all married couple households in the United States are dual-income families. Between juggling careers, children and a social life, meals that can be prepared with ease and in less than 30 minutes are a necessity. To cater toward millennial families who demand convenience, the Certified Hereford Beef ® team has worked with

industry partners to create new products to fulfill this need. A readyto-eat Certified Hereford Beef pot roast, prime rib and tri-tip are brand-new “heat and eat” items that provide a delicious and memorable eating experience with minimum preparation and cleanup. Transparency will continue to drive consumer demand in 2019. Consumers crave a connection with their food source and have a

Cook Along with the Farm Girl Chef — Breakfast Beef Strata by Elisabeth Watkins

Have you noticed pork seems to be the breakfast protein of choice in most all recipes? From sausage to bacon and breakfast chops, pork seems to reign supreme — but not so fast! Being a cattle rancher and a member of the San Joaquin-Stanislaus CattleWomen, I am always trying to promote beef. I challenged myself to turn my favorite protein into a breakfast dish. A “strata” is a fancy word for casserole. It is traditionally made with cubed bread, so I guess you could even call it a savory bread pudding. In my breakfast beef strata, I combine beef stir fry meat, roasted red bell peppers, sautéed onions, fresh goat cheese and an egg mixture. I like the bold flavor of fresh goat cheese. However, if you are not a fan, you can always substitute it with fresh mozzarella. This strata is best prepared a day in advance so it has plenty of time to marry all of the flavors in the refrigerator. If you don’t have overnight, make sure to let it sit for at least two hours before baking. This will ensure the bread soaks up all of the egg mixture. As far as the beef goes, most grocery stores sell “stir-fry” beef. This is usually thinly-sliced sirloin cut into perfect bite-sized pieces. If your grocery store doesn’t carry it, you can purchase a hunk of sirloin and slice it yourself. I suggest freezing the meat for 15 minutes, which will make cutting thin slices much easier. Remember to use Certified Hereford Beef and a sharp knife, too! I wrote the recipe to make enough strata to fill a 9” x 13” baking dish. If your family is not large enough to eat it all, simply cut the recipe in half and use an 8” x 8” baking dish. This smaller recipe will take about 35 minutes to bake completely through. Now, let’s get cooking!

Breakfast Beef Strata 1 pound thinly-shaved Certified Hereford Beef strips 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 medium white onion, thinly sliced 4 ounces soft goat cheese ¾ cup roasted red bell peppers 5 cups bread, cut into 1-inch cubes 7 large eggs 2 cups whole milk 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary salt and pepper, to taste 1) In a medium skillet, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until it becomes translucent and begins to caramelize. Remove onion to a small bowl. 2) In the same pan, again add one tablespoon of oil. Quickly brown the beef, seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer the cooked beef to the bowl with the onions. 3) In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, rosemary and one teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of pepper. 4) Coat a 9” x 13” baking dish with oil. Place half of the bread cubes in the base of the dish. Top with onions, beef and roasted red peppers. Top with the remaining bread cubes. Sprinkle goat cheese crumbles evenly over the bread. 5) Pour the egg mixture on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight. 6) Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 to 60 minutes. Allow the strata to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

genuine interest in who produces the food their family eats. Luckily, Certified Hereford Beef has the perfect farm-to-table story to tell since the brand supports more than 7,000 Hereford farmers and ranchers across the United States. To increase transparency and to influence brand awareness, Certified Hereford Beef has rolled out a new retail label for beef sold at grocery stores nationwide. The label provides information about the Hereford brand and breed and also includes an image of a scannable QR code that directs consumers to a farm-to-table video featuring Hereford producers. This video tells the Certified Hereford Beef story and connects the consumer directly to the farm or ranch, regardless of whether they are in New York City, California or the Midwest. To view the video, visit CertifiedHerefordBeef.com/Taste-The-Tradition. Global flavors and cuisine are another consumer trend making waves in 2019. Flavors typically only found at restaurants are making their way into American homes as millennial cooks are becoming more adventurous. Beef empanadas, beef lo mein and Turkish beef dumplings are examples of international foods staking their claim here in the States. Be looking on the Certified Hereford Beef blog and social media throughout the year for globalinspired cuisine recipes and step-bystep cooking instructions to bring this consumer trend to your home. The future in the retail and foodservice industries is bright. Consumer trends are always shifting, and Certified Hereford Beef is here to capitalize on these trends to make an impact within the industry. Be on the lookout for Certified Hereford Beef at a retailer and restaurant near you! You can find restaurants and retailers that are promoting the Certified Hereford Beef brand at CertifiedHerefordBeef.com/Where-To-Buy.

Hereford Women New Things Happening with the National Hereford Women by Rhonda Eck

OFFICERS AND COMMITTEE CHAIRS President – Erin Lockhart, Bryan, Texas President elect – Sharon King, Columbia, Miss. Vice president – Dana Pieper, Zurich, Kan. Secretary – Amy Taylor, Munford, Ky. Treasurer – Karen Smith, Gatesville, Texas P.O. Box 1125, Gatesville, Texas 76528 Historian – Sandra Ostgaard, Dayton, Ohio Communications – Erin Lockhart DIRECTORS Rhonda Eck, Putnam, Okla.

It’s a new year and the National Hereford Women (NHW) has big goals and plans for what its members hope to accomplish in this coming year for our Hereford women and youth. During the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting weekend, the NHW board met with the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) board to discuss the National Queen’s Scholarship and the increase we would like to add to those scholarships. During the meeting, the HYFA board voted to match the funds NHW raised to fund the scholarship up to the $200,000 level. This arrangement allows the NHW to give scholarships in the amounts of $5,000 to the National Queen, $2,000 to the first runner-up, $1,750 to the second runner-up and $1,250 to Miss Congeniality. We have successfully gathered a total of $26,000 and will need help in reaching the total goal of $66,000 by Dec. 31, 2019. Please reach out to any NHW board member if you would like to assist us in funding this scholarship.

NHW gives is through our membership dues. In 2018 we had a membership of 447. We would love to grow that number for 2019. Dues can be paid online on the NHW website or can be mailed to Karen Smith at P.O. Box 1225, Gatesville, TX 76528. An annual membership is $20, and a lifetime membership is $400. The Lot of the Year program was started to fund our scholarships with HYFA. Each year we are looking for willing ranches or sales to pledge a percentage of a designated lot’s gross sale. The donations are tax deductible, and the NHW will promote your sale through our website and social media. Please

contact Erin Lockhart or Shannon Worrell to set up your lot today. The Ways and Means committee is busy looking for items to offer at the Junior National Hereford Expo this year in Denver. If you have an idea, please let us know. These sales are yet another way we raise money for awards and scholarships given each year. Make sure to watch for the April 1 deadline for all scholarship and award contests. The AHA will be releasing the information once the online portal is open for applications. Please apply as we love the opportunity of recognizing the great youth of our breed.

value are: structure and udder quality as well as disposition and fertility,” he says. A strong artificial insemination (AI) program also ensures quality genetics remain in the herd. Cows are mass-bred to a Hereford bull and then exposed to cleanup Hereford bulls for 60 days. Any open, young cows are put into the fall herd. Of those, some are used as recipients to build Luke’s registered Angus herd, while the others are exposed to bulls for a fall-calving herd. Beyond growing and improving his own cattle, Luke assists others in increasing the quality of their cattle by specializing in developing heifer calves. As an independent contractor for Genex, he also provides AI services for nearby operations.

The ranch roadmap

Committed to carrying on their ranching heritage, Tad, Luke, Jaks and Natalie all play a role in the daily tasks of running a beef cattle operation.

benefits of heterosis — he turned to the Hereford breed and has not looked back. “I was just starting out and I had a really good set of Angus cows I was working with, but I didn’t have a name — I didn’t have the reputation. I needed some way to differentiate my heifer calves,” Luke explains. “Hereford was a logical choice — F1s [first generation crossbreds] usually bring a premium over black heifers. So I started down the road and I really liked the cattle. I kept going with it and the premiums kept coming.” For Luke, this successful production system was nothing new. In fact, it was around way before his time. “Heterosis was really popular in the ’50s and ’60s with the onslaught of Angus cattle, and then it went into kind of the extreme continental cattle for a while,” he describes. “Now it has come back to where the Hereford influence still gets you back to that cross that was working 60 years ago. With the F1 and two English breeds, roles have reversed, but we’re still using the same genetics that were working a long time ago.” Pairing experience and education, Luke describes how Hereford genetics supplement the genetics of his Angus cow herd, noting how crossbreeding has been instrumental in improving calf vigor, survivability and health. “We just don’t have near the problems with health that other people do,” he says. “In my animal science education we understand the benefits of heterosis, especially maternal heterosis, in reproductive efficiency. My customers buy my F1 heifers for that reason — for their reproductive rates and stability.” Luke adds as much value as possible to his cattle, namely through genetics. “We’ve invested in genetics on both the Angus and Hereford side, which in my opinion, makes for an unbeatable combination. The spring-calving Angus cows bred Hereford is a system that I think is going to last.” Sourcing Hereford bulls from Cooper Hereford Ranch, Willow Creek, Mont.; Upstream Ranch, Taylor, Neb.; and Hoffman Ranch, Thedford, Neb., he bases purchases largely on the qualities which have afforded him success: udder quality, fertility, fleshing ability, performance and structure. “Number one is udder quality,” he states. “If people buying my replacement heifers are milking cows out, they’re not going to be returning customers.” With a focus on maternal traits, Luke uses breed average as a minimum on carcass traits. “The four most important qualities I

A decade in the works, Kovarik Cattle now runs about 625 springcalving cows and 100 fall-calving cows on 5,500 acres of rangeland. Breeding typically takes place at the end of June, with calves hitting the ground at the beginning of April. Calves are weaned in the first week of November, but Luke notes he is transitioning to a later schedule to help ease the workload. Calving earlier requires more feed — and therefore, more labor and costs. “We calve later in the spring because of labor and economics,” he explains. “Because I delay calving, I am also able to graze cornstalks which helps offset feed costs.” In true Nebraska fashion, cattle can graze on cornstalk residue for longer than in other parts of the country. “Generally, I can leave those cows until about the 10th of March grazing corn stalk residue, leaving me three weeks until calving,” he says. Where many breeders in different regions fight challenges ranging from mycoplasma to fly infestation, Kovarik’s ranch is housed in a mild climate zone that provides an exceptional environment for cattle to thrive. Luke observes, “Nebraska is a pretty nice place to run cattle. We don’t have a fescue challenge or a fly overload or an internal parasite overload.” With the outstanding weather and climate Nebraska provides, Kovarik cattle can graze throughout most of the year. “Because we can graze for such an extended period of time, we are able to limit harvest feed to our cattle,” Luke says. “A moderate milk, moderate framed, easy fleshing type of female is what we need to fit our environment.” When it comes time to market cattle, Luke utilizes EricksonSpalding Livestock as well as private treaty arrangements. “I market about 70 percent of my heifers as replacement heifers — weaned and Bangs vaccinated. They usually outsell my steers,” he says. Achieving that goal is a huge advantage compared to selling heifers off the cow, usually for $150 behind the steers. “I wean [the heifers] and add value to them and find a market for them — the people who want F1s,” he adds. Heifer calves are marketed after the first of the year in January or February and are sold to either heifer developers or operations using terminal-cross Charolais bulls. “They want the F1 heifer because they don’t keep any of their own heifers,” Luke notes. Steer calves are weaned and sold in late winter or early spring as non-hormone treated cattle (NHTC) grass calves.

Merging paths In March 2015, Luke ventured to the annual Cooper Hereford Bull Sale in Willow Creek, Mont., where he would meet his now wife, Natalie Cooper. “We like to tell people he came for a bull but left with a wife,” Natalie jokes. Born and raised in southwest Montana, Natalie later relocated to Nebraska after the couple was married in the summer of 2017. Like Luke’s, Natalie’s roots run deep in the beef industry. Her grandfather, Jack Cooper, turned the original ranch homestead of 480 acres into the current Cooper Hereford Ranch when he invested in his first set of Line One heifers in the 1940s. “My grandpa really believed in the Hereford breed and worked hard to build a reputable and trustworthy line of cattle,” she says. With a sixth generation now in the mix, Luke and Natalie are imparting their family’s legacies onto their two boys. Tad (13) shows a true passion for ranching and avidly enjoys helping on both the Kovarik and Cooper ranches — where he usually spends part of his summer break. The newest addition, Jaks Domino (7 months) — who Luke says does a lot of “sleeping on the job” — is the namesake of his great-grandfather, Jack, as well as the

sire name given to all Cooper Hereford Line One bulls. Although Natalie did not pursue an ag-related degree in college, her grandfather and father, Mark, instilled in her passion and a work ethic and the importance of applying those to any operation. Natalie maintains off-ranch employment as a part-time pharmacist, but true to their belief that ranching is a family business, she also helps her husband out daily when she can. In the fall of 2017, she embarked on a new business journey with her best friend, JaTanna Williams, as the two cofounded their own ranch-direct beef business, Ranch Wives Beef Co. “The idea for Ranch Wives Beef Co. really stemmed from our mutual desire to be further involved with agriculture,” Instagram: @ranchwivesbeefco Natalie says. “We wanted to do something Website: RanchWivesBeefCo.com that would bring added value to our Email: lkovarik@hotmail.com and existing operations, while simultaneously ranchwives@gmail.com progressing the industry we love so dearly.” Operating exclusively online, the Phone: 308-750-6154 company carries out a mission to bring trust and transparency back into the food system by providing quality homegrown beef to families that would not have access to it otherwise. They ship nationwide and hand-deliver locally. Prior to harvesting their first round of cattle in the summer of 2018, Natalie and JaTanna funneled all of their time and resources into building their brand and developing a personal story. The duo created a social media page, designed a website and did all of the back-end work necessary for a company to build a solid foundation on which to grow. Natalie comments, “While providing access to quality ranch direct meat will always be at the core of what Ranch Wives stands for, both business partners are very open to what the future of RW Beef Co. holds. “We love that our company provides us a chance to advocate for the beef industry and hope to show other younger generations the impact they can have by doing so,” she adds.

All roads lead home Having both come from family-oriented cattle operations, Luke and Natalie are determined to lay a foundation that will continue

to stand the test of time, and one their own children can return to if they so choose. “We feel very blessed to have the upbringing we did, and are extremely fortunate to be passing it on,” Natalie says. “It’s a lifestyle we enjoy, and are proud of, and if our kids are interested in it, well we’d love for them to continue living the family legacy.” Luke describes the sense of community he has experienced with the Hereford breed since getting to know Natalie’s family. “Hereford breeders are a pretty tight-knit group. They really work well together,” he says. “They are excellent at marketing their customers’ cattle and promoting the breed. They’re Hereford first, and there’s no doubt about that. That helps open up marketing opportunities. It’s different than other breeds and it’s a really neat thing.” Editor’s note: Brooklyn Adam, Lathrop, Mo., is a junior at Iowa State University studying agricultural education and life sciences-communications.

The Tech Forefront The beef industry is taking technological innovation to a new level to drive improvement. by Austin Black

fficiency equals profitability in the beef industry. And as technology advances, efficiency increases. Reducing inputs, adding value and improving marketing help strengthen the bottom line. Managing cattle to perform their best with minimal input is crucial. And it all starts with genetics. For years seedstock producers have benefited from artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET) programs to improve the quality of their herd. New technologies are available to take herd improvement to the next level.

Make data work for you

Weyman Hunt, Innisfail Farms, Madison, Ga., passes along the value in collecting accurate data to his sons.

| February 2019

Weyman Hunt, Innisfail Farms, Madison, Ga., knows an animal’s phenotype does not tell the full story. “We’ve been doing ultrasounds forever,” he says. This helps him determine which genetics produce bigger ribeyes and more marbling. His customers are commercial cattlemen who rely on pounds of beef to make money. “We’re in the beef business, and at the end of the day we make steaks and hamburgers that are hopefully high quality. We need to select for animals that are going to do that.” But high carcass potential does not always mean a bull is efficient. To gather more information, Hunt began testing his bulls to get residual feed intake (RFI) data. Collecting the RFI helps create a dry matter intake expected progeny difference (EPD). “We’re trying to make cattle more feed efficient. At the end of the day that’s what it’s all about — trying to grow beef as efficiently as possible,” he says. “We’re trying to collect more of that data because that’s profit at the end of the day when you’re feeding cattle.” Hunt also retains ownership through the feedyard. Witnessing firsthand how genetics influence feedlot efficiency helps him make breeding decisions. Some of the differences are surprising. “We’re seeing major differences in different genetics feeding out,” he notes. “Some of these cattle you would think would be great just jam up.” Feed conversions have to match the phenotype to be profitable. “It’s changed the direction of some of the breeding,” he says. Hereford.org

Another criteria Hunt uses for breeding decisions is DNA data. Every bull Hunt sells is DNA tested, as are his donor cows and ET calves. This testing increases the animal’s EPD accuracy and helps determine its potential before it produces. Hunt has used ET in his operation for many years but always waited to see which cows actually performed. “Previously we wanted them to have six or seven calves before going to the donor pen,” he says. Now, with several generations in his herd, Hunt can collect DNA on young cows to determine their genetic potential early. “DNA is allowing us to accelerate our selection process of those cows,” he adds. But the most beneficial technologies Hunt uses are on his phone. He began using Facebook about five years ago to market his cattle. Admittedly, he was “adamantly opposed to it,” but it has become one of his best marketing tools. It is worldwide exposure for little to no cost. This combination makes it an efficient way to market cattle and to stay connected with customers. “Facebook is a phenomenal resource to sell cattle,” Hunt says. “When you think about it, there’s no commission. Even if you sponsor a post for $100, it goes a long way. “Everyone has to have a website but I can update a Facebook page The use of TSUs by AHA members has become increasingly popular since their implementation in late 2017. in seconds. I have to get someone to update a website,” he adds. TSUs currently account for 25-50 percent of all DNA samples tested through the AHA.

Pick your sperm

Sexed semen has been popular in the dairy industry for a number of years, and experts predict it will soon take the beef industry by storm.

Using DNA to select top animals and to monitor performance helps producers improve management. But what if producers could plan their entire calf crop? Turns out they can — with sexed semen. In the early 2000s, the founders of Sexing Technologies acquired the initial technology that sorted male and female cells. “It’s based on the premise that there’s a difference in the amount of DNA in male versus female sperm cells,” says Aaron Arnett, director of beef genetics at ST Genetics®. “Female sperm in cattle have 3.5 percent more DNA content than male sperm.” The technology is a simple process, in theory. “We put the ejaculate in a dye for several hours. The DNA in semen will absorb the dye,” he says. “Because there’s more DNA in a female cell, it will absorb more dye.”

Next, the ejaculate runs through a laser that detects the florescence, or brightness, of the sperm cell. Since the female cells have more dye, they shine brighter than the male cells. “Once it’s determined if it’s a male or female cell, the droplets of media containing the individual sperm are assigned an electric charge and passed through a magnet,” Arnett says. Male and female sperm each receive a different charge. Cells are then sorted into three cups based on electric charge — the third cup collects dead or abnormal cells that didn’t receive a charge. The result is sexed semen that is guaranteed to contain a minimum of 90 percent of the desired sex of sperm cells. “Anytime there’s a big value differential between male and female animals, there’s a value in sexed semen,” he says. The technology took off in the dairy industry, and Sexing Technologies began servicing AI studs across the country. “Bull studs pay a royalty for each straw of sexed semen,” Arnett notes. In 2015, Sexing Technologies introduced its own lineup of beef AI bulls and rebranded itself as ST Genetics. Arnett was hired to lead the beef genetic program, and the rest is history. ST Genetics continues to adapt technology to improve accuracy. “The goal is to have fertility be the same as conventional [semen]. They are close. They’ve made a lot of refinements,” he says. Producers will experience 5 to 10 percent lower conception rates on most bulls with sexed semen. High fertility bulls will be close to conventional semen. Sexed-semen technology has a lot of potential in the beef industry. “People use AI sires because they want the daughters. They are high genetic merit bulls out of special cows that breeders sometimes couldn’t afford to purchase themselves. They want those genetics in their cow herd and the fastest way to improve a cow herd is to get the heifer calves from a desirable sire,” Arnett says. Hereford breeders have noticed the difference. “I think Hereford breeders have shown more interest in sexed semen than other breeds of beef cattle,” he says. “We have several really good Hereford bulls that would be features in the breed and the demand for those bulls is incredible.” Arnett says sexed-semen is often twice as expensive as conventional semen. But mating cows to produce bull or heifer calves can boost an operation’s profitability. Producers can choose a strong carcass bull and breed terminal-oriented cows with male sperm, or they can choose a maternalfocused bull and breed replacement heifers with female sperm. “All the cattle will end up in the feedlot where value is determined on carcass merit,” he says. “Those gender differences do transition into dollar differences in commercial beef production.” As cattlemen are tasked with producing more beef using fewer resources, efficiency is key to staying in business. Using technology to make management decisions will help producers focus on raising the highest quality cattle possible. Editor’s Note: Austin Black is a freelance writer from Butler, Mo.

Bull Management

Indeed. Most people will concur that where challenges exist so do opportunities. With that said, Hereford World asked three beef industry specialists to weigh in with their views on the state of the U.S. seedstock business and to provide advice on marketing strategies to help seedstock cattle operations stay competitive in the future. Offering their viewpoints are Bob Weaber, Kansas State University professor and cow-calf Extension specialist; Matt Spangler, University of Nebraska professor and Extension beef genetics specialist; and Jason Ahola, Colorado State University professor of beef production systems.

The State of

Seedstock Marketing

Challenges exist, but with perseverance and planning there are opportunities for seedstock marketers going forward. by Kindra Gordon

t’s an age-old question without a surefire answer: What will the world be like 10 years, 20 years or 50 years from now? And more specifically, for those of us in the cattle business, what does the future hold for our industry? What will it take to be successful in the seedstock business in the decades ahead? There are many philosophical quotes that hint at the answers sought for

the future. “The only constant in life is change,” said Greek philosopher Heraclitus. “The future belongs to those who prepare for it today,” said civil rights activist Malcolm X. But perhaps most appropriate for the beef seedstock sector are the words of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who claimed, “Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.”

While raising and marketing seedstock cattle has never been “easy,” this trio agree that in today’s environment, it has become even more challenging to run a profitable beef seedstock operation than at any prior time in history. Weaber notes the dramatic increase in operating costs — for both seedstock and commercial operators. “Feed, fuel, labor, and equipment all cost more than in the past,” he states. “The cost of genotyping sale bull and replacement female candidates must also be considered, and marketing and performance testing costs have also increased — with more traits to measure like carcass composition, feed intake, docility, calving ease, sustained fertility and others.” Spangler concurs with those cost concerns and also cites the increasing complexities for producers to interpret the data being collected. While he believes the transition to single-step genetic evaluation that has occurred over the past 18 months within the Hereford, Angus and other breeds represented by International Genetic Solutions (IGS) is bringing more accuracy in genetic prediction to the beef industry, there is still a need to distill the information for commercial cattlemen in order to prevent information overload. Spangler also expresses concerns about the future exchange of data within the beef cattle sector. Currently, there is more data on traits of economic importance within commercial beef enterprises than within any breed association. To aid and to enhance future genetic selection, Spangler asks, “Will data collected in feedyards and large packing plants get back to seedstock and genetic suppliers? If so, what exchange or compensation will be required?” He believes those data are going to be a mounting issue in the next few years. As an additional future challenge facing seedstock operators, Ahola points to the increased competitiveness that exists today among breeds and breeders. He notes those who are involved in the seedstock industry — and who are most successful — “must seek continuous improvement, whether it be in genetic quality [i.e. performance] or value [i.e. accuracy of genetic prediction] of the cattle they are selling, or in additional services they provide, such as calf buy-back programs, free delivery, or warranties and guarantees.” Weaber adds commercial cattlemen are increasingly expecting such services. “They expect seedstock breeders to extensively evaluate the genetics on offer, and many Hereford.org

The U.S. beef seedstock industry produces the highest quality/value bulls in the world, hands-down.

”

— Jason Ahola expect a fairly high level of service including warranty/breeding guarantees and calf buyback programs. Those are not unreasonable expectations, but those services come at a cost as well,” he says.

Upping the ante In spite of these increased challenges, there is still optimism and opportunity to be found in the seedstock business. Ahola points out, “The U.S. beef seedstock industry produces the highest quality/value bulls in the world, hands-down.” This is an important competitive advantage for the U.S. beef industry over the rest of the world — especially as global demand for high-quality beef continues to expand due to growth in population and wealth. Additionally, Ahola notes extreme competition in the seedstock segment can be credited with fueling the continual advancement of high-quality genetics. As the saying goes, “Competition breeds success.” Looking to the future, Ahola believes the competitive seedstock environment will continue to prompt operators to “sharpen their pencil” on rate of genetic improvement, methods and costs of marketing, and services offered to buyers. “Successful seedstock operations are not sitting on their past reputation to carry them through, but rather are seeking out how to distinguish their operation and cattle from the sea of high quality seedstock bulls for sale every year,” he says. Likewise, Weaber says, “The uber successful [seedstock breeders], in my view, have all the pieces in play: a solid breeding program, excellent records and data collection, great marketing skills or programs and outstanding customer service. Missing any piece of this formula compromises your opportunities for success. Into the future, I don’t think seedstock marketing will look markedly different than what we see among the successful breeders of today. More breeders will have to reach that bar, though, to stay competitive.”

Actionable advice Looking ahead, Ahola offers this advice: “To survive and thrive in such a marketplace, seedstock operators will need to maximize their use of tools and resources to create a unique product and differentiate themselves from other bull suppliers; market a substantial number of bulls to allow economies of scale — but avoid losing money by offering too many bulls vs. demand; generate enough revenue to support a sales staff member at some level; provide services to bull suppliers to help with their marketing and management decision-making; and have a well-known reputation to their buyers.” For those seedstock operators unable to embrace these aspects, Ahola says, “They may be able to survive for the short-term, but it is unlikely that they will be able to continue to profitably sell bulls for the long-term. The U.S. beef seedstock industry is simply too Hereford.org

competitive and managed by such highly skilled industry leaders that continuous improvement is a trait that is now required among seedstock operators.” Weaber has a similar outlook. He anticipates the next few years will be challenging for seedstock breeders as commercial calf prices stagnate or decline with the cattle cycle. Thus, he advises, “It’ll be more important than ever to build a great product and stand behind it. Seedstock breeders, like any marketer of products, will need to work U.S. seedstock producers are tasked with developing the highest quality bulls in the world to aggressively to maintain their propel the cattle industry forward. customer base.” if those genetics produce what consumers Specifically, Weaber suggests producers want from the end product. differentiate their product through To that, he says, “I think one could customer service and personal relationships, argue that we certainly have cattle being especially if they are small breeders. produced today that do not meet the needs He is also adamant about managing of what the consumer wants.” expenses and income by controlling To rectify that discrepancy, Spangler development and marketing costs and advocates using genetic selection tools, making sound investments where they developing partnerships with entities make sense. “Historically bull sale prices in other sectors and developing clear will average near the sum of the value breeding goals. “There would be of four or five weaned steer calves,” he tremendous efficiencies gained in the beef says. “As you figure your floor prices industry if producers would do that.” and marketing goals, don’t forget to From the producer’s perspective, account for the costs of phenotyping and Spangler says, “The American Hereford genotyping associated with cull animals Association and other breeds should be that were incurred along the way.

need for breeds to define what they are and what they are not. We will continue to need diversity between breeds so that we can produce efficient females and cattle that fit different environments.” All told, change is afoot. But the question remains: What will the world be like 10 years, 20 years or 50 years from now? Editor’s note: Kindra Gordon is a freelance writer who grew up on a South Dakota ranch and has been writing about the beef industry for 20 years. She and her family live near Sturgis, S.D.

Cooperator herd tradeoffs Becoming a cooperator herd for an existing seedstock producer may be a viable option for some seedstock producers as they plan for the future — or for small or new producers to find opportunity within the beef industry. But it is a decision that comes with pros and cons. Colorado State University’s Jason Ahola, professor of beef production systems, notes cooperator arrangements typically include supplying bulls of similar genetic makeup and selection principles to a larger entity that sells the bulls in one sale under that ranch’s name. While that tactic provides a market for the smaller producer, Ahola points out the tradeoffs include giving up some independence and relying on the selection priorities, marketing efforts and decisionmaking of the larger operator. Depending on the agreement, it may also mean relinquishing a significant “fee” or percentage of income to the larger entity. Ahola has seen some cooperator situations where high quality bulls have fared well, yet average-and low-quality bulls become financial losses when a cooperator markets them through a larger entity, eventually limiting the percentage of bull calves the cooperator can sell as seedstock bulls. However, looking at cooperator strategy from another viewpoint, Kansas State University Professor and Cow-calf Extension Specialist Bob Weaber acknowledges the cooperator arrangement most often puts most of the bull development and marketing responsibility in the hands of the “brand” owner or management team. But he counters some producers prefer that arrangement, as it frees up time and resources for the smaller breeder to concentrate on breeding and cow herd management. Or, it is an arrangement that can work well for small breeders who have off-farm jobs. Ultimately, before deciding to become cooperator herds, producers should map out their own goals and determine if the cooperator arrangement matches those objectives. Effective communication between the cooperator and the larger entity is also integral.

Bull Management

State of Seedstock Marketing Seedstock Producer Tips Beef Sire Selection Breeding Soundness Exam

The Common

Denominator Industry leading producers who have been recognized for bull management share insight on selecting an ideal sire. by Taylor Belle Matheny and Brooke Roberts

rofitability and success in the cattle business are dependent on a multitude of factors, yet one of the most important is selecting the right bulls. As herd sires determine breeding decisions for seedstock producers and their cow herds, other beef producers are dependent upon these decisions when searching for their next herd bull. Recognized for their excellence in breeding and marketing decisions, 14 Hereford breeders earned a prestigious spot on BEEF Magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seedstock 100 list for 2018. The list identifies the biggest seedstock producers in the beef industry based on the number of bulls marketed in 2017. While each producer selects sires and potential sale bulls differently, they all share a commitment to excellence, intensive

selection and management techniques, and a dedication to breeding cattle that perform for themselves and for their customers. Their common denominator? Hereford genetics. These breeders see the benefit of the Hereford bull in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beef industry. From north to south and coast to coast, these producers have identified and understand the specific equation that yields success in marketing Hereford bulls in all parts of the country. As commercial cattlemen and purebred producers are looking for bulls to use in the upcoming breeding season, the following 14 Hereford breeders provide insight on bull management, selection strategies and marketing tactics.

Express Ranches

In the Southwest region of the country, where the first generation (F1) Hereford-Angus female dominates, Express Ranches breeds bulls that balance expected progeny differences (EPDs) and phenotype in a package that suits the needs of its customer base. “A lot of our customers that buy Hereford bulls from us are using them to make black baldy females and take advantage of maternal heterosis,” says Jarold Callahan, president of Express Ranches. “We try to look for balanced EPDs in combination with phenotype.” A firm believer in utilizing EPDs, Express Ranches looks for moderate birthweights, maximum growth and positive marbling and ribeye EPDs. “If you have some discipline and incorporate EPDs and numbers into your selection criteria, you will benefit,” Callahan says. “It’s not everything, but it’s important in our opinion.” Callahan also evaluates phenotype, specifically structure, when selecting bulls. Express Ranches’ customer base has shown an increased interest in pigmentation, and Callahan has increased selection pressure for pigmentation in an effort to meet the needs of his customers. “One of the first things we try to do is service the customer,” he says. “There’s a lot of places people can go buy bulls, so we try and offer them good service.” Customer service efforts at Express Ranches have included volume discounts, free delivery from sales and a first-breeding-season guarantee. Callahan believes servicing customers requires the sale of quality cattle and the elimination of problem bulls from sales. “The product that we try to sell is the upper end of our population,” he explains. “It’s the genetics, the phenotype and the convenience traits. That’s what we’re trying to accomplish.”

25 Langford Land & Cattle

Strict selection criteria and customer service characterize the bull business at Langford Herefords of Okmulgee, Okla. Owner Watson Langford believes a functional cow herd, a commitment to his selection decisions and listening to his customer base have all aided in successfully positioning Langford Herefords as “the largest total private treaty seller of bulls in the country. We sell more Hereford bulls and more baldy-hybrid bulls than anybody in the country,” he says. “We have to run a super functional cow herd that will breed back every year and raise a big, fat calf,” Langford explains. “You keep the best females that are your type and kind and don’t ever give them a second chance. If you’re that strict on your females, over time they will do the right thing, and do the right thing every year.” When selecting bulls, Langford’s calves must first meet two criteria — they must be born between 55 and 89 pounds and wean off at more than 600 pounds at 200 days or less. Beyond that, calves must be “his kind” — big, stout, long and easy-fleshing — which is the kind his customers purchase solely through private treaty sales. “I like selling all the bulls privately,” Langford says. “I get to personally know all of our customers, ride around with them and find out what they’re trying to do with their own cow herd.” Listening to his customers gives Langford confidence in knowing his cow herd is headed in the right direction. Whether customers run 20 or 2,000 cows, Langford values their opinion and uses it to guide his breeding decisions and to remain steadfast in his stringent selection techniques. “You have to really stand behind your beliefs in what you’re trying to do,” Langford says. “If you do those things, you’ll be in business a long time.”

23 Shaw Cattle Co.

Known as “The Bull Business Brand,” Shaw Cattle Co. is a family-owned operation located in Caldwell, Idaho. Keeping its customers in mind is important when selecting sires to use and, ultimately, bulls to sell. “We don’t single-trait select anything because most of our customers are in big desert country,” says owner Sam Shaw. “Structure, feet and legs are very critical to most of our customers, but on the other side they need to have moderate birth weights, be above average for growth and have added carcass value.” When Shaw’s grandfather, Tom Shaw, began raising Hereford cattle in 1946, he wanted to breed bulls that would work. With a fourth generation now in the mix, that same principle still holds true. “We use a lot of proven bulls that are five, six or seven years old in our AI [artificial insemination] program,” Shaw says. “It gives our customers more satisfaction in knowing what they are going to get.” Realizing that cross breeding is essential in all sectors of the beef industry has made Herefords marketable for Shaw Cattle Co. “Most of our customers use cross breeding in some way chasing the black baldy female,” he notes. “They are wanting to get black baldies back into the herd.”

29 McCabe Genetics

A key business approach behind McCabe Genetics, Elk City, Kan., is a focus on customer service. Keeping that goal in mind, when the McCabe family decided to add a second breed to the ranch, they elected to market Hereford bulls and have done that for the past 10 years. McCabe bulls graze on high quality forages and are supplemented with a silage-based feed. “Our goal is to develop the bulls slower and to keep their feet and legs in better shape for longevity,” says co-owner Randy McCabe. “We sell most bulls at 18 months and a few full 2-year-olds. We sell very few yearlings.” In recent years, the operation’s marketing strategy has shifted to allow for more face-to-face interactions with future customers. “We spend a lot of time on the road meeting potential customers and getting to know their operations,” McCabe adds. “We try to assist customers in marketing their own calves and buy calves from our customers throughout the year.” The addition of Herefords to the operation has certainly been utilized by cattlemen looking to incorporate these genetics into their own herds. “Hereford genetics are irreplaceable in making the most sought after crossbred females in our industry, which include the black baldy and the tiger stripe,” McCabe notes.

34 BB Cattle Co.

At BB Cattle Co., Connell, Wash., performance and uniformity define each year’s bull crop. Bill Bennett and his family believe bulls must first meet visual criteria before EPDs are ever examined. After passing phenotypic appraisal, bulls at BB Cattle Co. must also possess strong EPDs. “We don’t just buy numbers,” Bennett says. “Their EPDs have to be as high as we can get and they have to look the part, too.” The herd bulls are managed individually, while the younger bulls run together until they are turned out to breed. Herd bulls are first exposed in a small pasture with about 35 cows, then are turned out with several other bulls and the rest of the cow herd in a large, circular pasture. For the last 10 years, every calf has been DNA-tested at BB Cattle Co. Uniformity, coupled with performance and stoutness, makes a marketable herd bull in Bennett’s eyes. “Our bulls are really uniform,” he explains. “They’re big and thick with lots of bone, and they’ve got reasonably good numbers.” The added performance, weaning weight and feedlot gain Hereford bulls can bring to a calf crop appeal to Bennett’s customers. The combination of carcass merit, performance and uniformity has garnered success for BB-bred bulls. Bennett says some of his customers harvest steers, and that one customer recorded “93 percent Prime and Choice, and 92 percent yield grade one’s and two’s” from a pen of 119 mostlyHereford steers. continued on page 62...

35 Buford Ranches 36 Hoffman Ranch Meeting customers, understanding their respective programs and meeting their needs is a focus at Buford Ranches, Vinita, Okla. Sam Buford, owner, and Doug Branch, Hereford manager, make it a team effort to find new genetics for their herd that will work in a multitude of programs. “When I am looking for a bull for both the registered and commercial ranch I am wanting a balanced set of EPDs, a bull that is phenotypically correct and a bull with a moderate amount of muscle, but yet soft in the middle with some stretch,” Buford says. “If we like the way a bull looks when we visually inspect him, then we look at his EPDs to see if there is anything way out of norm that we need to be aware of.” Buford Ranches includes both a purebred and a commercial ranch which share a commonality in bull selection traits. “I want to emphasize that criteria should not be different for the purebred ranch or the commercial,” Buford says. “Likewise, when we sell a bull I think we should be trying to sell the same thing we would want to buy.” The bulls are slowly developed at the ranch before they are marketed private treaty to customers at 18 to 20 months of age. “Our bulls are marketable because of what they are, the fact we stand behind them and because they come from Buford Ranches,” he adds.

49 Knollcrest Farm

Hoffman Ranch in Thedford, Neb., earned its spot on the Seedstock 100 list by focusing on making stout, muscular Hereford bulls that never sacrifice structural soundness. Jason Hoffman, owner and partner, believes maintaining a balance of traits is crucial in ensuring the basics of the breed do not disintegrate. While weaning dates may vary due to weather and grass quality, the number one bull management priority is to wean healthy bull calves and to get them on feed. Hoffman believes calves that know how to eat encounter fewer health problems as they mature. Bulls are further developed on a high-roughage ration before they are moved to grass for the summer, allowing for exercise and movement. “We try to keep our bulls with enough flesh that they are appealing to the buyer,” Hoffman explains. “But we also try and keep them hard enough to where they can adapt quickly to wherever they’re sold.” Hoffman bulls are primarily marketed through a bull sale in February, with a select few large accounts and individuals buying through private treaty sales. Customers find value in the longevity and durability of Hereford bulls. “A mature Hereford bull will get more cows bred than any other breed we’ve been associated with — they last longer, they’re more durable and the hybrid vigor factor on black cows is huge,” Hoffman says. “The long-term value of buying a Hereford bull greatly succeeds any other breed because of the longevity and hardiness of the cattle.”

The overall reliability of their bulls and their genetic provider makes Knoll Crest Farm, Red House, Va., unique when marketing bulls. Hereford genetics have been a vital part for the operation and its customers dating back to 1944. “The ability to cross breed with Herefords to create primarily black baldies that will enhance traits like survivability, overall performance and particularly maternal performance is important,” says co-owner Paul Bennett. “Our Angusbased customers are wanting to utilize Hereford bulls to generate black baldies to capture the advantages of heterosis.” Knoll Crest Farm employs a list of important traits when selecting a bull that is marketable to its customer base. “We select bulls that have a unique data set with respect to a unique combination of calving ease and growth, strong carcass merit and a combination of all traits,” Bennett says. “In addition to that, hair coat, foot structure and integrity, fertility, pigmentation and overall phenotypic balance and completeness are extremely important.” A goal for Knoll Crest Farm is to produce bulls that are the total package scenario with EPDs that are amongst the best in the breed. “Our goal is to develop bulls at a modest rate of gain, but still get enough flesh on them to market as yearling and long yearling bulls,” Bennett adds. “Along with that, our customer service focus and guarantee is very important to us and our customers.”

50 Krebs Ranch

The outcross-pedigreed cattle that call Krebs Ranch home in Gordon, Neb., are bred to excel in the showring and to perform in the pastures. Co-owner Ty Krebs builds upon generations of solid pedigrees to breed bulls that provide performance and soundness for commercial cattlemen, while maintaining phenotype and look for the showring. “The kind that’s competitive in the showring are still functional, real-world cattle that can go improve anybody’s commercial herd,” Krebs says. “To me, Herefords have the biggest advantage from the showring back to the real world.” Between 70 and 80 percent of Krebs’ bulls are sold to commercial cattlemen, whose end goal is to put pounds on the scale in the fall. Bulls are made available through multiple sales and are also sold privately year-round. Customer demands include power, performance, moderation and structural soundness. Krebs’ wide range of genetics have the ability to satisfy the needs of a varied customer base. “I think the Hereford breed in general has a lot of good qualities that can go back and help a lot of these guys that still respect and admire a true F1 female in commercial herds,” Krebs explains. “We’ve got the structural integrity in our cattle, we’ve got good feet, good performance and good milk.”

51 Upstream Ranch

The Sandhills of Nebraska are home to Upstream Ranch, Taylor, Neb., an operation that sells bulls to commercial and purebred producers. When selecting herd sires to use on its cow herd, the bull buyer is kept in mind. “I’m looking for complete, well-balanced bulls in their EPD profile, but I also want my herd bulls to be stout made with extra muscle shape and depth of body but still attractive phenotype,” says owner Brent Meeks. “Cattle longevity is very important to our program so feet, disposition and udder quality are highly important.” The bulls sold in Upstream’s February production sale are fall yearling bulls, which are born from the middle of August to the first of November and coming two-year-olds born from the middle of March to the first of June. “Our commercial bull customers like the age-advantaged bulls for two reasons,” Meeks explains. “One, they haven’t been fed real hard so hopefully the bulls have extended longevity, and the second reason is due to the fact that some of these bigger cow-calf operations want older bulls that aren’t over conditioned so that they can turn out in big pastures in tough conditions and get their cows bred.” Upstream Ranch strives to produce good cattle with solid numbers and is willing to stand behind the cattle. “A Hereford bull’s longevity, disposition and hardiness are reasons why our customers are using Hereford bulls in their cow-calf operations,” Meeks says.

59 King Herefords

In the Southwest, King Herefords sells more than 400 structurally sound, feed-efficient, athletic bulls each year that can meet the needs of large ranches in the area. Bill King, owner and operator, is also a commercial rancher and feedlot operator and considers multiple factors in bull selection. “I tend to look at a cross-section of things,” King explains. “The most important thing here in the desert in New Mexico is that [the bulls] are structurally sound and can get out in the country and walk and eat grass and convert that into being a healthy bull.” After structural soundness, King analyzes carcass and performance EPDs in an effort to breed cattle that do well in the feedlot. Finally, King examines the pedigree and dam of each bull to ensure a wellrounded individual. “I would say temperament, longevity, feed efficiency and heterosis are the four main things people look for in Hereford cattle,” King says. “And Herefords give it to them.” The bulk of King’s customers are ranchers that buy large numbers of bulls. This customer base prefers 2-year-old bulls that have been managed appropriately and are ready to be turned out. “One of our keys is management,” King notes. “We keep them out in rough, rocky country and keep them in athletic shape. That’s what brings most of our customers back — the fact that the bulls are ready to go to work and cover a lot of country.”

Herefords 87 &Colyer Angus

Located along the Snake River 60 miles southeast of Boise, Idaho, the Colyer family has found success by selecting structurally sound bulls that can perform and travel in any part of the country. “I think that bulls will breed as much to their phenotype as they will to their EPD numbers,” says owner Guy Colyer. “It starts with feet and legs and the ability to go out into big country and hold up and travel,” he explains. “Combined with that, our bulls are able to sire calves that have additional pounds and performance and built-in carcass merit. “We do pay attention to EPDs and select for a balanced set of numbers,” Colyer continues. “We find that combination of phenotype and the genetic superiority of an EPD profile.” Bull calves are not creep-fed prior to weaning, as the Colyers place significant selection focus on cows with ample milk. Once weaned, calves are put on a high-roughage growth ration in an effort to develop basic growth and performance while also allowing individuals to display genetic variation. Large, sometimes rocky lots allow adequate exercise and help bulls develop their feet. Nearly all of Colyer’s Hereford bulls are sold in an annual sale. Because the Colyers avoid private treaty sales, customers find satisfaction and confidence in knowing the Colyers have their best bulls available on that specific day. “I think that everybody who has bought from us in past sales knows that they’re getting the top end of our bulls on that particular day,” Colyer says. “They can buy with confidence knowing that they’re buying the top end.”

71 Jamison Herefords

To increase the predictability of performance traits, Jamison Herefords, Quinter, Kan., utilizes line breeding to give its customers an advantage. Selecting traits important to the Jamisons’ market leads them to sell both yearling and 2-year-old bulls. “Having a product the commercial customer wants and needs comes first,” says owner Gordon Jamison. “Also having a strong warranty on soundness and fertility issues and always maintaining integrity in our relationship with customers.” The Hereford breed’s versatile genetic abilities gives Jamison Herefords an advantage when marketing bulls. Jamison notes, “Hereford adaptability to many climate extremes, the efficiency of the Hereford breed to respond to less than the best environmental issues and probably most important to many customers, the quiet and calm disposition of the Hereford breed as a whole” as major selling points. “The majority of the nation’s cow herd is black and Hereford genetics provide the best possible cross on most black cows,” he adds.

99 Van Newkirk Herefords

Having started in the Hereford breed in 1892, Van Newkirk Herefords, Oshkosh, Neb., focuses efforts on raising uniform and consistent bulls. Refined over years in the business, the Van Newkirks use surefire strategy when selecting bulls to use in their cow herd. “First, I find proven pedigrees I’m comfortable with that complement our base cow herd,” says owner Joe Van Newkirk. “Second, the bulls need to be phenotypically pleasing to the eye with structural correctness and top end quality. Third, selecting for balanced EPDs, but also looking at their birth and yearling weights.” Bulls are developed strategically to perform in a breeding environment and to be more marketable to customers. “Our bulls are raised and developed in the same environment our customers cows are,” Van Newkirk says. “The Hereford genetics we use are tried and true for our use and our customers use.”

Recommendations for

Bull Management

Beef Sire Selection

State of Seedstock Marketing

Selecting the right bull is critical to the success of a genetic selection program and should be based on traits important to each breeding program.

Seedstock Producer Tips Beef Sire Selection

he overall goal of a beef operation should be to increase net income. Net income is the difference between how much is spent on the operation and how much income the operation generates. Therefore, beef producers need to focus either on increasing income while minimizing additional cost or on reducing costs while trying to maintain current levels of income. Although the goal of increasing net income applies to the entire beef operation, this article will concentrate on the impact of sire selection decisions. Selecting the right bull for your operation is one of two practices available to improve the genetics of your herd and therefore increase net income. The other practice is crossbreeding, which has a major economic impact, particularly when crossbred cows are utilized, and is recommended for commercial herds. When considering which bull to purchase, it helps to realize as you take steps to improve one trait, you often lose ground with another. For example, selecting bulls that will produce heavier offspring, which has a positive impact on income, may inadvertently result in increased mature size and maintenance costs of cows if you are retaining replacements. Finding the right balance between the productivity level of your cows (growth and milk) and the energy required to maintain them is very difficult and, if not done properly, will likely result in decreased reproduction and, consequently, decreased income. Multiple traits selection can be cumbersome, particularly when traits are antagonistically related. Selection indexes can help alleviate the confusion that comes with trying to optimize selection for multiple traits. Research has shown cow efficiency depends on the cow’s level of nutrition. Larger, high-producing cows are the most efficient in very lush, high nutritional environments, while smaller, lowproducing cows are the most efficient in limited nutritional situations. With optimum nutrition, there are few differences between the breed types in cow efficiency. It is important to consider what resources — primarily nutrition — you have available before you select the breed and specific bull within that breed that best fits the needs of your operation. It is also helpful to consider, both when setting your budget and selection

Bull purchasing basics When purchasing a bull, you should assess three primary factors: reproductive soundness, structural soundness, and genetic potential. Reproductive soundness. For a bull to have any value to a beef producer, he must be reproductively sound. The best means to determine the reproductive soundness of a bull is through a breeding soundness exam. If a bull passes this exam, he should have the physical capability to breed and settle cows. However, it is important to remember this test is only valid for the day it was completed, so bulls should be retested each year or before each breeding season to ensure they are still able to settle cows. This exam does not measure desire to breed (libido), however, so bulls should be observed for their interest in females in heat. Many breeders will guarantee the reproductive soundness of the bull, so it may be helpful to know whether the sellers will provide this service, both in terms of capacity and desire to breed. Structural soundness. To be an efficient breeder, a bull must be structurally sound. This means that it should move without pain or discomfort and should have appropriate angles at weight-bearing joints like the shoulder and hock. Ideally these angles are 45 degrees.

priorities, the overall impact a bull will have on your herd in the future. If no replacements are kept, the bull’s effect is limited to the marketability of your current calf crop. However, if you keep replacement heifers sired by your bull, the bull’s genetics will have a long-lasting impact on your herd. Sires used in the last three generations contribute 87.5 percent of the genes in a particular calf crop, so it is important to consider all aspects of a sire’s influence in your herd when making your decision.

at once, so it is important to choose those traits with the most economic importance for your scenario and place the most selection emphasis on those metrics. It is also vital to consider the production environment when setting your breeding program goals. Make sure to also place selection emphasis on these traits during selection so your cattle fit the amount of labor, feed, and environmental resources you have. Common examples of these types of traits are calving ease, milk production, and mature size.

Genetic merit. The primary reason for purchasing a bull is the expected performance of his calves. If replacement females will be retained, this decision should not be a hasty one because the effects will be long lasting. Breeds differ in their level of productivity; therefore, the first decision should be breed type. Once a breed is determined, selection between bulls for performance should be based on the expected progeny differences (EPDs), whenever possible. Remember, there is no such thing as the “best” bull — individual beef producers must make that determination based on their individual breeding program goals. There are too many traits to select for all

Bull categories The following categories are guidelines for finding bulls that meet some of

the common needs of beef producers. Depending on your goals and management, you may need to focus on a more unique suite of traits, but this is a good guide for getting started. To find out where a bull ranks in his breed, refer to the EPD Percentile Table from the respective breed association. • Heifer acceptable: This is a specialty type bull that should be used when a high percentage of first-calf heifers are to be bred. Choose bulls in at least the top 25 percent of the breed for direct calving ease (CED) and consider using proven bulls with high accuracy CED continued on page 74...

Beef sire selection decision flow chart Step 1: Operational Goals — Define breeding objectives • Will replacements be kept? • What environmental limitations are present? • When will calves be marketed?

Step 2: Breeding Group — Will the bull be bred to heifers? YES Will the bull also be bred to cows? NO

• Calving ease should be

considered, but receive substantially less emphasis than other traits in the breeding objective • Select for traits of interest that are relevant to your production goals • Do not use on heifers

YES

• Select a calving ease bull based on direct calving

ease EPDs (CED) in the top percentiles of the breed

• Avoid use of birth weight unless no other selection tools are available • Growth may be sacrificed, so use only on heifers, not on general cow herd

• Select a bull that is moderate for CED • Avoid use of birth weight unless no other selection tools are available

• Target bulls with moderate performance across all traits important in the breeding objective

Step 3: Bull Purpose — Will replacement heifers be retained? YES

• Select a bull that is moderate to superior for maternal calving ease (CEM)

• Also consider other traits in the breeding objective, such as

stayability and heifer pregnancy, when making selection decisions • Consider traits that impact maintenance energy use in the cow herd, such as milk production and mature size (use yearling weight as a proxy if mature size or maintenance energy EPDs are not available)

• Select for traits of interest that are relevant to your production

goals with special emphasis on traits such as growth and possibly carcass traits • Single-trait selection should be avoided, but maximum emphasis can be placed on all traits important to calf marketability • Bull characteristics should complement the cow herd • Do not retain any replacements!

Step 4: Marketing — How will calves be marketed? AT WEANING

AFTER STOCKER PHASE

• Should select using weaning weight

EPDs plus some emphasis on carcass traits to ensure adequate performance • Calf uniformity (same sex and similar coloring and age) may bring premiums with large group lots • Planned crossbreeding programs should target breed compositions that will produce desirable combinations of characteristics from the breeds in the mating system

• Should select for pre-weaning (weaning

weight EPDs) and post-weaning (yearling weight EPDs) growth plus some emphasis on carcass traits to ensure adequate performance • Planned crossbreeding programs should target breed compositions that will produce desirable combinations of characteristics from the breeds in the mating system

RETAINING OWNERSHIP

• Select a bull that is moderate to

superior for growth at yearling and has superior performance in traits such as feed efficiency and carcass traits • Planned crossbreeding programs should target breed compositions that will produce desirable combinations of characteristics from the breeds in the mating system

Step 5: Value-based Marketing — What type of grid will be marketed? YIELD GRADE ONLY GRID

• Ribeye area, carcass weight, fat thickness and percent retail product are the most important considerations • May encounter discounts if the quality grade (fat content) is too high

Hereford.org

COMBINATION GRID

• Should select for both grade and yield

characteristics including ribeye area, carcass weight, fat thickness and marbling • Selection on carcass weight should be emphasized, but care should be taken that overweight carcass discounts are not received

QUALITY GRADE ONLY GRID

• Marbling is the most important carcass

trait to consider along with carcass weight

• Discounts are often only received if yield grade is a 4 or higher or if the carcass weight is too large

EPDs to minimize risk of dystocia. Typically, easy-calving bulls do not express as much growth in their calves as terminal or lower CED sires. To maintain an acceptable level of growth, bulls with extremely low weaning and/or yearling weight EPDs should be avoided.

is large and there is danger of producing carcasses that are heavier than the accepted standard. • Balanced trait: Bulls that fit these recommendations should be moderate for calving ease, growth, and milking ability. The purpose of this bull is to produce calves that are acceptable feeder calves while keeping the mature size and milk level of replacement females in moderation. Selecting bulls that rank between the 25 and 75 percent level in their breed for both growth and milking ability should achieve this goal if you keep in mind the level of nutritional resources available.

• Terminal: This is a specialtytype bull that should be used when replacement females will not be retained. The purpose of this bull is to produce calves with exceptional feeder calf performance. Therefore, milk can be disregarded, and growth should be emphasized. Upper extremes should be avoided if the cow size

• Low maintenance: This category of bull is for producers who will be retaining and/or selling replacement females that need to have lower maintenance requirements. Unfortunately, cow maintenance EPDs are not currently computed for all beef breeds, but they do exist for some breeds. Typically, cows that have smaller mature size and less milking ability have lower maintenance requirements. Therefore, even if maintenance EPDs are not available, selecting bulls with below-average growth and milk values should produce replacement females that will have lower maintenance requirements. The trade-off is that

their siblings, which will be sold as feeder calves, will have less growth as well. It is recommended to avoid the lowest extremes for either growth or milking ability. • High productivity: Producers with extremely good management practices and abundant feed resources may consider bulls that will greatly increase individual calf productivity. This is easily accomplished by selecting bulls in the upper third of their breed for both growth and milk. Feeder calves produced from this mating should exhibit good growth, and replacement females should have exceptional milking ability. The disadvantage is replacement females produced from these bulls will be larger and have higher maintenance costs. If these cows do not receive adequate nutrition, they will lose body condition, and reduced reproduction rates will be observed. This option is not for everyone, and total herd performance should take precedence over individual calf performance. • Carcass merit: Producers who will be retaining ownership of their calves and who are being paid for carcass merit should place additional emphasis on these traits. A carcass merit bull may easily fit one of the above categories but would have the added ability to produce calves with exceptional carcass characteristics. Traits of economic importance would be carcass weight, marbling, and percent retail product or yield grade. The pricing scheme the calves will be sold under will determine the level of emphasis to be placed on each trait. For example, if the calves are to be marketed on a “High Quality Grid,” then greater emphasis should be placed on increasing marbling while maintaining acceptable carcass weights. Also, remember as you increase carcass weight, you also increase mature cow size of replacement females unless using a terminal sire. Crossbreeding and bull selection have an important long-term economic impact on your herd. Selecting the right bull for your operation is a decision that includes setting production goals, analyzing your resources and management, and locating the bull that best fits your situation. If done properly, this process can take considerable time and effort, but the financial and management rewards can be significant.

Bull Management

State of Seedstock Marketing Seedstock Producer Tips Beef Sire Selection Breeding Soundness Exam

What to Expect From a

Breeding Soundness Examination by Heather Smith Thomas

any factors play a role in the fertility and the breeding ability of bulls, including semen quality, conformation, soundness and a desire to breed cows. It is recommended every bull pass a breeding soundness examination before being put out with cows.

How to prepare

What to expect There are specific things the vet will assess and measure, with set standards for what is acceptable, to determine whether a bull passes or fails. There are also several things a breeding soundness exam cannot do, such as assess libido — the desire to breed cows. Some producers think of a breeding soundness exam as semen testing, but there are many other components of the exam that are just as important. Here are the categories the vet will evaluate: Soundness. The first thing assessed is health and soundness. Does the bull have good feet and legs, affording him the ability to mount and breed a cow? In

Prior to a full examination, producers should assess bulls for soundness as it is a paramount trait in good breeding stock.

young bulls, conformation is extremely important. In older bulls, injuries to feet, legs, eyes, back, etc. could be a problem. The vet will exam the bull’s reproductive organ and external genitalia. The prepuce/sheath is inspected for conformation and abnormalities. The scrotum is examined for conformation, symmetry and the presence of lesions. Testicles are palpated to see if they are normal consistency or too hard or too soft. One common problem is injury to the prepuce, and there may be lesions on the scrotum if winter was cold. Sometimes injuries occur when a bull is traveling through the brush. It is also important to be sure the bull is free of disease, and this means knowing the history of the herd. You do not want to bring in bulls that might carry contagious diseases or something you do not already have in your herd like warts or ringworm — or a breeding disease like vibrio or trichomoniasis. If there is any chance a bull has been exposed to trichomoniasis, your vet can take a sample from inside the sheath for testing. Scrotal circumference. Size and shape of the scrotum should be of adequate size for the age of the bull. In the U.S. the same standard is used for all breeds regarding minimal size. Scrotal circumference is important because size of the testes determines how many spermatozoa are produced daily. This is usually what determines how many cows can be put with a bull. If a mature bull has at least the minimum scrotal circumference, he can be used with at least 25 cows. A young bull should have at least the minimum scrotal size for his age.

PHOTOS BY MARTHA MINTZ

Do not wait until the last minute to have bulls evaluated, but do check them at some point before turnout this year. A bull that was fine last year, or even last fall, may have issues this year. He may have gotten injured sparring with other bulls over winter, had an infection or suffered from scrotal frostbite. Most people check young virgin bulls to make sure they are mature enough and fertile, but many producers do not bother to check older bulls. Yet bull fertility and breeding soundness may depend on how they wintered. If they had a hard winter with cold weather and wind, they may have a lot of abnormal sperm. Knowing the history of each bull is important, and sharing that information with the vet is very helpful in conducting an accurate breeding soundness exam.

A bull’s age, breeding history, previous complications and ranch management — nutrition and vaccination programs — are all important details to disclose. For bulls that have serviced cows, data and history on each bull and his calf crop are needed. Also, be prepared to ask any questions about a certain bull which had an earlier problem. If he had an infection or injury that was treated, you may want him checked more thoroughly.

Palpation of internal sex organs. The vet will check for an inguinal hernia by palpating the inguinal rings and do a transrectal palpation of internal sex organs to check for seminal vesiculitis or vesicular adenitis — one of the most common infectious problems in bulls and one that can result in poor fertility and poor semen quality. The glands and seminal vesicles should not be enlarged or painful or have any adhesions. Some abnormalities in semen may indicate a problem, and the vet may go back and palpate again to determine if there is a problem in the seminal vesicles. Bulls with seminal vesiculitis have an increased number of abnormal sperm and poorer semen quality. Prognosis depends Hereford.org

on the severity of the condition and the age of the bull. Sometimes younger bulls can get rid of the infection on their own. In older bulls, this infection tends to be a bigger problem because they generally do not respond to treatment. Many factors can cause seminal vesiculitis, including a blood-borne infection or an ascending infection from the reproductive tract. A common factor in young bulls is that at about the time they are reaching puberty and are being fed high energy and high protein rations, they may experience subclinical acidosis with some bacteria spreading from the gut. Other possibilities include systemic viral or bacterial infections. These problems may happen more often with young bulls because they are growing and their accessory sex glands are becoming active, making them more prone to infection. Older bulls may pick up reproductive tract infections from breeding infected cows. Semen collection and checking the penis. The last part of the exam is semen collection and evaluation. The most commonly used technique is electroejaculation — using electric shock to stimulate the bull to ejaculate so that semen can be evaluated under a microscope. The vet will usually take this opportunity to examine the shaft of the exteriorized penis to look for abnormalities, lesions and problems with extension. One of the most common injuries in bulls is preputial adhesions, making it impossible to fully extend. An injured prepuce or broken penis can occur if a bull gets hit by another bull when trying to breed or if the penis was not completely retracted when chasing a cow through brushy terrain, getting it snagged and torn. It may heal with adhesions to the sheath. Another common problem is penile warts. These are caused by the bovine papilloma virus and can be contagious — in some situations a group of young bulls may all have warts on the penis. Large warts can interfere with mating. Warts can be removed surgically, and affected bulls should be checked again since warts may recur. Another problem seen in younger bulls is persistent frenulum, where the penis has not completely detached from the prepuce. This is considered an inherited problem. It can be easily treated by cutting that attachment, but since the condition tends to be inherited, the bull should only be used in a herd where all offspring are sold as beef. If it is a very young bull (10 months of age) and there is just a little tag of attachment, it may be just a sign of immaturity. Semen evaluation. The semen sample must be representative of what the bull is producing, so it must be obtained according to certain standards. Looking at just one drop of semen is not a true examination. The vet will try to get an adequate sample with good concentration and one not contaminated with urine. The sample needs to be protected until it is examined. If the evaluation is done outside on a cold day and semen is placed on a cold slide, this procedure may chill the sperm and hinder motility. Cold may also affect the way the sperm look after staining. Staining allows for a look at semen morphology Hereford.org

Evaluating bulls at the beginning of each breeding season is vital to overall productivity within a herd.

(form and structure) to determine if there are abnormalities. The vet will note the proportion of normal sperm and abnormal sperm. The standard technique is to use a slide stained with eosin nigrosine. The nigrosine (black stain) provides a background so sperm can be seen. The eosin stain penetrates the sperm and stains them pink or red so they can be easily seen under the microscope. The vet has to examine at least 100 sperm and determine the proportion of normal sperm and the proportion of each type of abnormality. Some have more effect on fertility, but each abnormality tells something about what is going on with that bull. Regardless of the type of abnormality, the important thing is a bull must have at least 70 percent or more normal sperm. The vet might pay closer attention to the type of abnormality when testing a valuable bull to better predict how he will improve or to determine if a follow-up evaluation is necessary. Further investigation is also common if an entire group of bulls have the same abnormalities. For example, after very cold weather and exposure to wind, semen will have morphological changes and a certain number of abnormalities. Semen morphology can also be affected by a ration high in cottonseed with high gossypol levels. The vet and the producer can decide whether to retest later to see if the sperm becomes more normal. Another thing to consider is whether the first ejaculate is typical of what a bull will produce. The first ejaculate may contain an accumulation of old sperm if the bull has not been breeding cows. Some bulls must be collected several times before they “clean out” to get a true picture of their semen. A bull may be retested once or several times, depending on results and on how long the producer wants to wait. Retesting may also depend on whether the bull is scheduled for a sale. Staining used in evaluating semen does not show other cells, just sperm. It will not show inflamed cells. When dealing with a young bull that will be going to a sale, a breeding bull whose motility is not what it should be or if the

vet suspects an infection, other stains can be used to better visualize inflamed cells or germinal cells — if there is a potential testicular problem.

Just a screening The purpose of a breeding soundness exam is to pinpoint and to remove any bulls with problems that will interfere with breeding ability and fertility. The initial examination is done on a pass or fail basis and is not a true fertility predictor. Bulls are classified as satisfactory, deferred (to be retested for improvement) or unsatisfactory breeders. Satisfactory breeders do not have any problems in terms of history or physical examination and, on the day of the exam, meet minimum requirements for testicular size and sperm morphology and motility. If a bull is in the deferred category, the vet and the producer will decide on a course of action for further testing. Problems seen in deferred bulls are not extreme and can be resolved with either time or treatment. The vet may defer the bull for a few weeks before rechecking. Bulls which fail the exam are classified as unsatisfactory. The younger bulls that fail generally have a problem with sperm morphology and/or inadequate scrotal circumference. A very young bull may fail because he is immature and his semen may contain a lot of proximal droplets. Many of those bulls will pass the exam at 15 months, but they need to be checked again. An unsatisfactory older bull should be culled. Common reasons for failure are too many abnormal sperm or physical unsoundness. A breeding soundness exam does not test serving capacity, or libido. A bull can pass his exam but still will not actually breed a cow. Therefore, at the start of breeding season, all bulls need to be monitored to see if they are actually doing their job.

‘Brisket Disease’ Research Now Includes a Look at Feedlot Heart Failure

Brisket disease is taking many geographic regions by storm and causing major losses in some feedyards. by Heather Smith Thomas

ome cattle at high elevations suffer from pulmonary artery hypertension, which leads to congestive heart failure. Also dubbed brisket disease, mountain sickness, big brisket or high mountain disease, this condition results in lethargy and swelling in the neck and brisket due to high blood pressure forcing fluid out of the blood vessels and into surrounding tissues. Swelling may spread up the neck or under the belly. If not reversed, the condition is fatal. Because outward signs are not always present, a producer runs the risk of losing an animal without realizing it needed treatment. Cattle living at elevations above 5,000 feet are most at risk, and incidence of brisket disease increases at higher elevations, as low oxygen availability triggers the problem. Affected animals may have problems early in life if they live at a high elevation or develop this condition if brought to high elevation from lower altitudes. Susceptibility seems to be inherited. A test can be performed to determine whether a certain animal will be at risk. For nearly 40 years, Tim

| February 2019

Holt, DVM, Colorado State University (CSU) Department of Clinical Sciences, has been testing cattle living at sea level and up to 15,000 feet elevation. The test used was initially developed for humans in order to measure pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). Holt explains that lack of oxygen at high elevations causes the inner diameters of small arteries in the lungs to contract. The muscle layer in the artery wall thickens, reducing blood flow into and through the lungs, causing an increase in blood pressure. The smaller the diameter of these vessels, the greater the pressure within them. The extra effort needed to pump blood through these restricted arteries causes an enlargement of the right side of the heart; eventually the right ventricle loses its ability to contract. As blood pressure increases and blood starts to back up into the heart, the pressure can blow out the valves of the right ventricle. “The animal gets high blood pressure on the right side of the heart,” Holt says. “The PAP test measures that pressure in the lungs and the blood flow resistance in those

arteries, making it possible to predict an animal’s welfare at high altitudes. There are several reasons an animal may develop this problem, but the big reason is genetic susceptibility.” A few breeds are slightly less susceptible, on average, but brisket disease has been seen in all breeds. “Cattle that have been at high elevation for many generations have no problems. When I went to Ethiopia, I found cattle grazing at 10,000 to 14,000 feet that did not have high pulmonary artery pressure,” Holt recalls. It is hypothesized that any susceptible cattle in that region died long ago and did not pass the tendency to offspring. In North America, beef cattle have been selected for meat production, fertility, etc. but with little attention paid to how they function at high altitudes. Therefore, this genetic problem is found in many breeds and bloodlines used today. Most cattle in the U.S. live at lower elevations, so there is no natural selection to eliminate the problem. The PAP test can identify the resistant as well as the at-risk animals to aid ranchers at high elevations in selecting more naturally resistant animals to use for breeding stock. Milt Thomas, Ph.D., and John E. Rouse Chair of Beef Cattle Breeding and Genetics, CSU Department of Animal Sciences, says we now split this disease into two categories — high mountain disease and feedlot heart disease — and they are not the same disease. Many people are aware of high mountain disease, but only recently have researchers discovered the feedlot problem.

developing an expected progeny difference (EPD) for PAP, but that work is still in the early stages. Even so, there is no doubt in Thomas’ mind such an EPD is greatly needed. “We’ve been doing PAP EPDs for a long time at the Colorado Beef Improvement Center, but only for the bulls that came from semen companies that contributed semen to our breeding program,” he says. “Companies like ABS, Select Sires and Genex® have given us a certain number of bulls each year to breed. The PAP EPDs have been private information for those semen companies.” However, with their success, the future looks bright for the PAP EPD within different breed associations. While the EPD is not developed completely in all arenas, the research unveiled other valuable information. Another thing researchers have learned is that within high mountain disease there is a difference between what is called high altitude and what is called moderate altitude. “This is something that Tim Holt felt was true, for a long time,” Thomas reflects. “Above about 5,000 to 6,000 feet in elevation, these animals will experience the stress of altitude, but there are many cattle being PAP tested at what we call moderate altitudes. For instance, here in Fort Collins we are at about 4,000 feet. The best [most reliable] PAP scores are those taken at above 6,000 feet. We can use data from tests taken at moderate altitudes, but it’s not as accurate.” Congestive heart failure in feedlot cattle

Greta Krafsur, DVM and diplomate of the American College of Veterinary “Here at our CSU facility at the Beef Pathologists at CSU, says high Improvement Center and at the Rouse mountain disease continues to be a Angus Ranch [also called the One-Bar disease exclusively affecting pulmonary 11 Ranch] in southern Wyoming, we arterial circulation, and, hence, the spend a lot of time trying to better right ventricle of the heart. understand the genetics behind brisket Bovine congestive heart failure disease,” Thomas notes.

As a result, the team is doing lots “Clinically these conditions [high of DNA research; however, it has mountain disease and BCHF in feedlot not been applied to the industry just cattle] look the same,” Krafsur says. yet. Some associations have started “These cattle have brisket edema, Genetics of high mountain disease

belly edema, bounding jugular pulses and may have diarrhea. They start losing weight and their performance decreases, with diminished carcass traits.” Heart problems occur earlier in life in animals suffering from high mountain disease, whereas those suffering from BCHF see problems during the finishing phase while cattle are in the feedlot. Thomas says this is the big difference between cattle with high mountain “brisket disease” versus the feedlot cattle. “The high mountain disease can appear in a baby calf or a young bull, steer or heifer — animals that are still growing rapidly. They tend to be lean, compared to the finishing animal. The feedlot animal is a very different creature, at the top of the growth curve, becoming fat. We are feeding them to create Choice carcasses, so these cattle are big and fat.” Krafsur agrees, “This disease has created a lot of problems in feedlot cattle, particularly in situations with retained ownership. If a rancher in South Dakota at low to moderate altitude sends his weaned calves to a feed yard in the Nebraska panhandle to be finished, and the yard owner calls to tell him he lost a few cattle to what looks like brisket disease, the rancher gets upset because those cattle were raised at low elevation — so this shouldn’t happen,” she says. Krafsur has conducted investigations and postmortem exams at feed yards, only to tell the cattle owner the problem was not brisket disease but something different. “We are trying to get away from people calling it brisket disease or high mountain disease. We prefer to call it Bovine Congestive Heart Failure (BCHF) because the term brisket disease is confusing,” she says. “These are two separate diseases,” Thomas says. “We have done a lot of research over the years, moving cattle from the Rouse Ranch in Wyoming to the Eastern Colorado Research Center [ECRC] at Akron. We’ve studied the cattle to see how they get BCHF, but we always had the challenge of these cattle starting their lives at a highaltitude ranch. So now we have a USDA [United States Department of Agriculture] grant to look at this, and we purchased a set of cattle that are local to the ECRC. They have never been at high elevation; they’ve always been at the eastern Colorado plains elevation. We are now feeding those cattle and doing a study about feedlot heart disease using animals that have never been to a mountain ranch. This will be the big focus of our research over the next 12 months, to get the samples, and for the next three years — to accomplish this study,” he says. The researchers at CSU have also done collaborative research with the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC) in Clay Center, Neb. In their current study, they purchased 100 Angus steers from a herd with a history of feedlot heart disease from a ranching family living at that low elevation. A couple of these steers were included in a study that Krafsur published this past summer. “This study documents this condition in animals that are exclusively from the high plains Hereford.org

of Nebraska, eastern Wyoming and moderate altitudes in northeastern Colorado,” she says. These cattle had never been at high altitudes but still had a history of heart failure. “We are trying to do a couple things with our current study,” Thomas says. “First of all, if we talk about high PAP versus low PAP scores in feedlot steers, we don’t know much about their characteristics as they go through the finishing phase. So we will bring them to Fort Collins and put them in our feed-intake unit so we can study their feed-intake characteristics. This is an interesting thing to be working on because at this point we know so little.” Once cattle are in the feed-intake unit, their daily health can be intensely monitored, and some cattle in those groups will be challenged with a respiratory virus. Thomas says with feedlot heart disease, they sometimes

see what people call “late feedlot death.” These cattle do not make it all the way to slaughter — they perish shortly beforehand, near the end of the finishing phase — and these are very expensive losses. “Our hypothesis is that some of these cattle are highly stressed already [by fattening] because they are high PAP cattle, and then when they get a secondary challenge like respiratory disease, this is what pushes them over the edge,” he says. Krafsur says feedlot cowboys and pen riders are very skilled at recognizing which cattle are susceptible to BCHF and are also very good at distinguishing them from cattle with primary respiratory disease. Unfortunately, many cattle with BCHF are misclassified as ones with primary respiratory disease because often the only tissues examined at necropsy

are the lungs, right ventricle of the heart and the liver. “If the diagnostic pathologist sees any sign of pneumonia in the lung, respiratory disease is thought to be the initiating factor for hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction leading to increased workload on the right heart, which caused backup of blood flow in the liver,” she says. Feedlot cattle that have acute respiratory disease almost always have cardiac fibrosis and a left heart dysfunction. Krafsur is certain the problem is even bigger than researchers realize because many times people do not look at the left side of the heart or the pulmonary venous circulation. Also, cattle with a cardiopulmonary disease are likely predisposed to pneumonia. Although management and feeding regimens in feedlots are similar

across the industry, there is a subset of cattle that develop BCHF for reasons unknown. “My instincts tell me that some cattle do not respond favorably to the high demands imposed by excess calories, aggressive growth and fat body condition during the feeding and fattening phase of the production cycle,” Krafsur says. “This subset of cattle seem to experience systemic inflammation and metabolic and lipid dysfunction that lead to cardiopulmonary remodeling and dysfunction. This condition is invariably fatal and there is an urgent need to find biomarkers predictive of disease that can be used to assess risk and inform management decisions.” Genetic testing could enable cattlemen to pinpoint at-risk individuals. These animals could then be managed

and fed differently to grow more slowly and to not become as fat — or salvaged sooner in the feeding process if they start to show signs of BCHF. Collaborative research

Scientists at universities in several states have been working on various aspects of genetic susceptibility to high altitude disease and BCHF. Some are collaborating with researchers in the Genetics, Breeding and Animal Health Research Unit at USMARC and with veterinary epidemiologists at the Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center (GPVEC), also in Clay Center, Neb. An executive summary from a meeting at the GPVEC in September 2018 regarding BCHF stated the condition is appearing increasingly in feedlot cattle and that BCHF outbreaks

occur even in operations feeding wellmanaged, high-genetic merit cattle. According to the summary, “For some producers, it is the single most costly health-related problem, with losses exceeding $250,000 annually in individual operations, even surpassing those from bovine respiratory disease. Consequently, reducing the impact of BCHF is a high priority for the cattle industry.” A workshop of collaborators was held September 18 and 19, 2018, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln GPVEC to review the current status of BCHF knowledge, to identify gaps and to outline a plan for moving forward. Participants included researchers, veterinarians, cattle producers, and other beef industry stakeholders. Participants identified disease pathogenesis as

a major gap in BCHF knowledge including onset, progression and risk factors associated with heart failure. Based on these knowledge gaps, the following critical needs were identified: diagnostic tests that allow rapid, early and affordable identification of diseased individuals; knowledge of risk factors for disease (genetic, environmental and management); and estimates of scope and economic impact of BCHF across North American cattle production. Meeting these critical needs will mitigate the impact of BCHF, enhance cattle health and welfare, and improve the sustainability of beef production. “Knowledge of BCHF pathogenesis also informs an important large animal model for human congestive heart failure associated with pulmonary hypertension and left heart dysfunction, and supports an integrative, multi-disciplinary One Health approach to optimize health for both humans and animals,” the summary stated. Researchers at Clay Center have been dealing with cases of BCHF since the 1970s, but the disease is now recognized more frequently. Most of the feedlots they have been working with indicate this problem started to become more obvious about a decade ago. Some of these feedlots are at elevations as low as 1,000 to 1,500 feet, and some have experienced death losses from BCHF at a rate as high as 6 percent. When the Nebraska researchers began collecting samples for a casecontrol study, they noticed these deaths were not all happening late in the feeding period. A common misconception is the condition hits fat cattle near the end of the finishing phase — just before they go to slaughter. However, these researchers have samples that show a distribution through the entire feeding period. They are currently trying to gather more data to help the beef industry better understand what it should be looking for regarding this disease. There has been speculation amongst cattlemen that perhaps some of the traits heavily selected for in recent years — fast-growing, high-performing, rapidly fattening animals that produce a superior meat carcass in a short time on feed — may be linked to this emerging problem. Has the industry been inadvertently selecting for cattle that have a genetic susceptibility to ending up with BCHF in the feedlot? Several researchers are looking at heavily selected traits to see if there is a genetic connection. Joseph Neary, Ph.D., Texas Tech University, has been studying the problem in feedlot cattle at low elevations for several years. His previous research looked at calf mortality due to heart failure in high altitudes even though many of the herds had been performing PAP testing. Neary and his team followed cattle into the feeding period and looked at their pulmonary pressures in the feedyard. He says the project was quite revealing. In one study, calves from a low PAP herd at just over 7,000 feet were sampled at 4 and at 6 months of age, and their pulmonary pressures increased with age. When those calves Hereford.org

were followed into the feeding period, their tests were lower at first — but Neary thinks this phenomenon is due to the calves being at a lower elevation for feeding. Then, their pulmonary pressure scores began to climb again. By the end of the feeding period, just a month before the animals were due to go to slaughter, their pulmonary arterial pressures were higher at 4,000 feet in the late feeding period than they were at 7,000 feet when they were 6 months old. “We also did epidemiological studies of 15 feedlots in western Canada and the U.S., and these studies also show cattle that die of heart failure typically do so during the feeding period, even in low elevations. This so-called high altitude disease was occurring at altitudes around 1,500 feet. What was once called high altitude disease is more widespread than originally thought,” Neary says. Currently, he has a graduate student who is analyzing some blood samples provided from a low-elevation feedlot in Nebraska. In the past several decades producers have selected cattle that grow fast, put on weight quickly and produce bigger carcasses without selecting for athletic ability and adequate lungs. “If you look at bison or other bovines, they have a deep chest and are narrow toward the flanks. We want beef cattle to have a big belly to take in lots of feed [less room for heart and lungs], and they don’t need to run away from predators. There is no selective pressure on cattle to have adequate lung capacity. There are always some adverse consequences to selective breeding for certain desired traits and we don’t always know what those consequences are,” Neary explains. Beef producers today also tend to select for calves that are born small and grow large. Heather Foxworthy, CSU Department of Animal Science graduate research assistant, recently completed research looking at the correlation between gestation length, calves born small and high elevation disease, or BCHF. Since lung development occurs in utero, some scientists wonder if gestation length is a source of variation in PAP scores and a predictor of an animal’s susceptibility to high altitude disease later in life. The objective of Foxworthy’s study was to determine the relationship between gestation length and PAP in Angus cattle at high elevation. The PAP and gestation length observations were obtained from CSU’s Beef Improvement Center in Wyoming, using breeding and calving records from 1,991 calves from 2007 to 2016. Gestation length was calculated and verified with ultrasound up to 50 days after artificial insemination and subsequent calving records. The data included PAP measurements, gestation lengths, age of dam, birth year and calf sex at birth. Final results showed no effect of gestation length or age of dam on yearling PAP score, while birth year and sex of the calf did have an effect. This study concluded that gestational age at birth should not increase an animal’s susceptibility to developing high altitude disease. Geneticists have been trying to discover if there is a specific genomic region of DNA that serves as a genetic risk factor for BCHF. If a defective Hereford.org

Yet if they treat get the animal to slaughter while it

still has some value, rather than just treating it with antibiotics. Ideally, researchers may eventually find some biomarkers or other genetic tools that will allow the industry to selectively breed away from this — and have a smaller percentage of animals at high risk for becoming fatal cases. If there is an underlying risk factor that is complicated by rapid growth and if at-risk animals can be identified, those animals could be managed in a different way — perhaps on a less energy-dense diet for slower growth. Researchers are still a long way from this goal, but future research holds promise at finding ways to alleviate ongoing frustration and losses.

Hereford Mom Diaries

| by Christy Couch Lee

New Traditions We had been trying to make it to an Oklahoma State University (OSU) football game for a few years. But Illinois and Oklahoma aren’t nearly as close in distance as we would like, and the uncertainty of Dad’s health and his care just didn’t allow us to take those few days in the fall. However, about six weeks after Dad’s passing, my brother, Willy, and I had arisen just enough from the fog of grief to see the opportunity to create a new memory with my boys — Waylon and Nolan. We all decided to meet on New

Making time to make memories with family is simply one of the best things one can do.

Year’s Eve in Memphis for the Liberty Bowl, in which OSU faced Missouri. It was time for the boys to see what a football game with our alma mater was all about.

One for the books The drive south with my boys didn’t exactly go as planned. Just a few hours into the trip, we were one of the first vehicles to come upon a semi that had caught on fire on the interstate. The driver escaped, thank goodness, and we got a front-row seat — for two

full hours — of this semi engulfed in flames. We even felt the Suburban shake with a couple of mini explosions from the fire. Good times. Once we could move again, it was time to enter the thunderstorms and downpours that had been predicted in the weather forecast for game day. Nolan — who can sometimes be a bit (ahem) dramatic — was certain we were going to miss the kickoff. But we pulled into the stadium parking lot just in time to meet up with Willy and to find our seats before the game began. And that’s when my heart swelled with happiness. The boys absolutely took it all in. Watching the coaches and the players on the sidelines, taking part in the cheers and Nolan dancing like a crazy man to get a chance on the Jumbotron. Critiquing the referees’ calls, and, yes, learning a few new “colorful” phrases from fellow fans who disagreed with the calls that had been made. No exaggeration — Willy and I heard, “This is so fun!” from Nolan at least two dozen times in those couple of hours together in that cold, wet stadium. I am certain this will be a memory none of us will ever forget.

Take the chance It can be so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day chores and tasks of life. Cattle to be fed, washed, bred and calved. Laundry, homework, cleaning and dishes. But when a window of opportunity arises, we just have to take it. Sometimes, we are in a season of unpredictability. That’s exactly where Willy and I were for the past few years. We simply could not plan anything without the nagging thought of “Well, we will do this if we don’t have any emergencies that pop up.” And I promise you — many, many plans were cancelled for that very reason. Trips, concerts and half marathons all took the backseat when a family member needed us more. It almost became the norm, rather than the exception. But now that we are in a more stable season, we are going to make the most of it. Prioritizing trips and fun events with the kids. Working in a little more downtime. And for me and my husband, Craig, focusing on our marriage a bit more again. Life is all about riding the ups and downs. Some days, it’s truly easier said than done. But when you hit a patch of smoother sailing, I hope you will also take a bit of time for the simple pleasures, too. Even if they involve exploding semis and your children learning a few new phrases not suitable for the minister to hear. Christy Couch Lee is a freelance writer from Wellington, Ill.

You can expect your purchase at EFBeef to be backed by a guarantee that has stood the test of time, 135 years’ worth.
