Sustaining and Adapting Hereford genetics are integral to the unique high-altitude challenges at Knott Land and Livestock in Colorado. by Wes Ishmael

ustainability and its many definitions are nothing new at Knott Land and Livestock Inc. near Oak Creek, Colo. It has been their focus for going on five generations. “I view sustainability and survivability as relatively synonymous,” says Tyler Knott, who operates Knott Land and Livestock with his dad and their families. “If we are surviving, then we are sustaining. Our operation has been located here on Trout Creek for 85 years. Through that time we have raised and produced sheep, cattle, chickens, eggs, milk cows and cream, draft horses, goats, potatoes, etc. Market and operating conditions — climate and weather, labor availability, community infrastructure — have caused the operation to change over time,” Tyler explains. For instance, shifting reality across years means Knott family members have been willing to work off the ranch. Tyler’s dad, Bernard, worked in coal mines during the 1970s. Tyler’s mom, Debra, taught school. Tyler’s wife, Megan, is Director of Stewardship for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust. At various times, Tyler has worked in construction and hunting.

These days, Knott Land and Livestock is primarily a cow-calf operation, but they also run yearling cattle, along with raising sheep. “The sustainability of our operation has been the ability to adapt, try new things, be willing to accept change, and ultimately, evaluate a decision for the benefit of the ranch — the land,” Tyler says. “If you take care of the ranch, it will take care of you as the stewards. We have Hereford genetics are a key crossbreeding component at Knott Land and Livestock, been blessed that Trout Creek and this Oak Creek, Colo., and they are integral to the ranch have always taken care of us.” operation's fed cattle marketing. Like those who came before them, Tyler and Megan are focused on giving their two young children, Ella and Collin, the chance to continue being stewards of the ranch. continued on page 16...

Cattle Market Strength Growing

by Wes Ishmael

Supply and demand fundamentals fuel optimism.

Wes Ishmael is the executive editor of Hereford World. He can be reached at wishmael@hereford.org.

| January 2022

Boom, just like that. Negotiated cash fed cattle prices busted beyond their months-long rut to the highest levels in more than four years. Fed steer prices were $30.69 per hundredweight (cwt.) higher than a year earlier the first week of December at $140.44 on a live basis. Dressed steer prices were $47.68 higher at $219.97 (see Market Tracks, Page 26). “As 2021 winds to a close, cattle markets seem to finally be able to move out from under the specter of the pandemic impacts that began 18 months ago,” explained Derrell Peel, Extension livestock economist at Oklahoma State University, in his lateNovember market comments. Those impacts included disrupted packer production, which deepened and extended burdensome front-end fed cattle supplies that began in August 2019 with the fire that shuttered Tyson’s Holcomb, Kan., plant for several months. Cyclically peak cattle numbers added even more pressure. In December’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE), USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) forecast the 2022 annual average five-area direct fed steer price at $135 per cwt. The projected annual average for 2021 was $122.56. Prices were forecast at $138 in the first quarter, $134 in the second quarter and $132 in the third quarter. Despite higher feed costs, calf and feeder cattle prices continued to gain momentum at the end of the year and are projected to continue higher. In the November Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook, ERS projected the annual average feeder steer prices (basis 750-800 pounds, Oklahoma City) in 2022 to be $155.50 per cwt., compared to the projected average price of $145.55 in 2021. ERS forecast the average feeder steer price at $153 in the first quarter, $151 in the second quarter and $156 in the third quarter. Plus, supply fundamentals continue to improve cyclically and might tighten further depending on the trajectory of beef cow herd liquidation. Anemic returns and drought have been driving contraction. “Many beef cattle operations have already made significant adjustments and will have very little flexibility if the current drought extends into 2022. This could result in another severe round of cow liquidation in the first half of next year,” Peel explained in December. “A decade ago, severe drought caused the unplanned liquidation of some 2 million beef cows and affected cattle markets for several years, arguably up to the current time. It is possible it could happen again.” Based on the U.S. Drought Monitor at the end of November, 69% of the U.S. was abnormally dry or worse with more than 53% in some degree

of drought (D1-D4). At the same time a year earlier, 67% of the nation was abnormally dry or worse and 48% was in some degree of drought. “The annual Cattle report, due out Jan. 31, 2022, will reveal exactly where and how much beef cow inventories changed along with other cattle inventory data,” Peel said.

Rising input costs and inflation

Margins could still be challenged despite the welcome increase in cattle prices. Animal protein supply chains face across-the-board cost inflation with the most significant increases coming in four key areas — animal feed, labor, energy and freight, according to the Rabobank Global Animal Protein Outlook 2022. Don Close, Rabobank senior animal protein analyst, noted North American feed costs are expected to remain at high levels. “Producers will need to be vigilant in finding opportunities to lock in profitable margins,” he said. Between January and November of 2021 analysts with the Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC) explained average cost of gain for steers was up 32.8% ($27 per cwt.) and heifer cost of gain was up 37.2% ($32 per cwt.). That was based on Kansas State University’s Focus on Feedlots data. ERS projected the 2021-22 U.S. season-average corn price at $5.45 per bushel in the December WASDE. Perhaps fertilizer prices provide the most glaring example of rampaging input cost. Everything from surging global natural gas prices to weather-idled production have more than doubled some prices. “This next year has the potential to accelerate structural change as a result of escalating costs,” said Christine McCracken, senior animal protein analyst for Rabobank. “Success will most likely go to the players that adapt to the changing business environment, embracing consumer preferences for sustainability and preparing for a surge in demand as economies continue to reopen and adjust following COVID-19induced lockdowns.”

Economic recovery still uncertain

More broadly, global economic recovery is continuing, but its momentum has eased and is becoming increasingly imbalanced according to the latest Economic Outlook from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). “The strong rebound we have seen is now easing and supply bottlenecks, rising inflation and the continuing impact of the pandemic are clouding the horizon,” said OECD SecretaryGeneral Mathias Cormann. “The risks and uncertainties are large, as is being seen with the emergence of the Omicron

variant, aggravating the imbalances and threatening the recovery. Keeping the recovery strong and on track will entail addressing a number of imbalances, but above all, it will mean managing the health crisis through better international coordination, improving health systems and massively stepping up vaccination programs worldwide.” OECD projects real global gross domestic product (GDP) growth at 5.6% this year, 4.5% next year and 3.2% in 2023. For the U.S., OECD projects real GDP at 5.6% this year, 3.7% next year and 2.4% in 2023.

U.S. beef exports continue record pace

U.S. beef export value soared in October (most recent data available), up 48% year over year to $956.9 million, the second highest monthly level on record, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF). Beef export volume was 7.5% more at 115,709 metric tons. Through the first 10 months of the year, beef export volume totaled 1.19 million metric tons, up 17% from a year earlier. Export value increased 38% to $8.53 billion, surpassing the full-year record of $8.33 billion established in 2018. Beef export value per head of fed slaughter equated to $439.46 in October, up 55% from the same time a year earlier. The January-October average was $394.14, up 34%. “USMEF has always prioritized market diversification, and this is more critical than ever now that the red meat industry faces unprecedented transportation challenges and rising input costs,” explained Dan Halstrom, USMEF president and CEO. “Exports [U.S. red meat] will likely reach about $18 billion in 2021, which is a remarkable achievement. While global demand is tremendous and we are cautiously optimistic about further growth in 2022, supply chain pressures are not easy to overcome and are a growing concern for exporters and their international customers.” Still, domestic and international demand for U.S. beef is so strong that it could encourage cow herd expansion sooner than later. “The beef cow herd has been declining since 2019 and declined even faster in 2021. It will decline again in 2022 and likely in 2023,” Peel said. “However, strong domestic beef demand bolstered by even stronger demand and potential in international markets suggests that cyclical expansion could resume in the not-too-distant future. Exactly what the future path will be remains to be determined but producers should consider strategic and tactical plans for industry outcomes.” Hereford.org

Commercial Connection

Hereford Adds Dollars

by Trey Befort

Some advantages of using Hereford genetics within commercial crossbreeding programs are more easily seen than others. For instance, the first chance to quantify added weaning weight occurs when those calves cross the scale. Depending on management, calving season may be the first opportunity to observe the additional fertility and breed-up that comes with Hereford-influenced females, compared to straightbred peers. The added overall efficiency borne by Hereford and heterosis becomes more visible over years of use. On the other hand, a paycheck is immediate. A couple of recent Hereford-influence feeder calf sales serve as examples. The Tennessee Hereford Marketing Program Sale in Columbia, Tenn., on Nov. 3 included 339 head of steers and heifers that sold in 11 lots of 10 head or more. They brought an average of $4.81 per hundredweight (cwt.) more than similar-weight, similar-class cattle selling in the state the same week. The total sale offering was 372 head in 19 lots, including lots with fewer than 10 head. Likewise, there were 733 head of steers and heifers selling in lots comprised by 10 head or more in the Kentucky Certified Hereford Influence

Hereford Feedout Participation Grows Participation in the American Hereford Association Feedout program and the National Junior Hereford Association Fed Steer Shootout continues to increase, both in terms of people and cattle numbers. Cattle for this year’s program arrived at HRC Feed Yards at Scott City, Kan., in December. These programs offer Hereford breeders and commercial users of Hereford genetics a convenient, cost-effective opportunity to collect valuable feedlot and carcass performance data, while gaining more knowledge about the cattle feeding sector.

Sale at Stanford, Ky., Dec. 2. They sold for an average $4.19 per cwt. more than similar-weight, similar-class cattle selling in the state the same week. The total sale offering included 42 lots and 806 head, including lots with fewer than 10 head. The charts below provide more detail about both sales. The price advantage likely reflects more than just verified Hereford genetics. The requirement for sellers to follow strict weaning and health requirements also adds a great deal of value and gives buyers additional confidence. Keep in mind, both of these are long-standing sales with an established reputation.

If you have groups of Herefordinfluenced replacement females or feeder cattle, take advantage of the listing pages found at HerefordMarketplace. com, which offer added market exposure at no cost. By the way, replacement-quality, Hereford-influenced females experienced great demand through the fall with a number of market-topping groups. With drought conditions lingering in parts of the country don’t forget AHA provides a Pasture and Hay Listing page to help those in need of forage find those who have it. This is a free service, and you can find the listing at HerefordMarketplace.com. With spring bull sales on the horizon, now is a good time to contemplate both the value of Hereford genetics and the marketing programs available to retrieve more of the added value.

... Sustaining and Adapting continued from the cover

Oak Creek is near Steamboat Springs in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. The views here at the headwaters of Trout Creek in the Yampa River Basin are as striking as the challenges associated with running cows at high altitude. “Our elevation of 8,000-plus feet, and long winters create a shortened timeframe to complete our production cycle. We spend all summer growing our hay and harvesting it to turn around and feed it all winter. There’s normally only about 60 days a year that is not connected to hay production or feeding,” Tyler explains. But the condensed forage and hay season isn’t the only

Crossbreeding values

“We have been crossbreeding Herefords and [black and red] Angus since I was a kid, for at least 35-plus years,” Tyler says. He explains the targeted level of each breed incorporated into their herd has evolved over time. In simple terms, the Knotts sort cows by color. Hereford bulls are bred to black, black brockle-face and black baldy cows. Angus bulls are bred to Hereford and red white-faced cows, as well as to what Tyler terms black Hereford cows. The latter are black and white cattle marked like Hereford. “I have historically strived for about a fiveeighths Angus and three-eighths Hereford to gain milkabilty and the marketable black hide,” Tyler says. “Our marketing conditions have changed, and I am now breeding far more heavily with Hereford. Forty percent of my replacement heifers are marked Hereford (redhided and white-faced) going into this winter.” The changed market conditions he mentions have to do with the advent of a value-based fed cattle grid offered by the Greater Omaha beef packing plant in Nebraska. The grid favors Hereford and Hereford-influenced cattle. Besides sending some of their homegrown cattle to Chappell Feedlot in Nebraska’s Megan and Tyler Knott are well grounded to share their Panhandle, the Knotts partner with the operation’s sustainability story with consumers and to find common ground with them.

After summer grazing these yearlings head to Chappell where the feedlot and Knott Land and Livestock aim to market most of the loads on the Hereford-favored grid at Greater Omaha. “Over the past couple of years, I have had the opportunity to expand our operation by leasing a neighboring ranch. We are limited on our winter carrying capacity due to hay production and the cost of hay to purchase, so we have opted to diversify by running yearling steers,” Tyler explains. “I have partnered with Chappell Feedlot to purchase steer calves in the spring, get them put together and cleaned up and then send them up here to graze Tyler and Megan Knott are focused on giving their two young children, Ella and Collin, the chance to continue being stewards for the summer.

“Since 2018, due to limited hay availability, we have been weaning our calves at a backgrounding lot and adapting our marketing options to what indicators we think are appropriate at the time,” Tyler says. “We have retained ownership and finished both our frontend steers and light heifers. I am a firm believer in only investing money into good cattle and not feeding those that will drop the average and cost us money.”

Selling the product

The Knott ranch also launched its own meat business — Trout Creek Meats — in March 2021. It is a natural evolution from sharing beef and lamb with friends and neighbors over the years. Appropriately, they opened doors to the meat business on Meat-In Day, which was organized by ranchers and beef boosters in response to Colorado Governor Jared Polis’ proclamation of Meat-Out Day. “We offer quarters, halves and wholes of lamb, grass-fed finished beef, and a limited Bulls have plenty of ground, some of it steep, to cover at Knott Land and Livestock. amount of grain-fed beef,” Tyler explains. “Additionally, we are members of a nonTrout Creek Meats markets mostly grass-fed beef because forage profit group in Steamboat that offers us an opportunity to market is what the ranch produces. Any corn in this part of the world individual cuts directly to the consumer. This serves as a great comes with freight cost.

I finish them on irrigated pastures and meadows that are predominately timothy, clover, brome grasses and other native grasses. This allows them to have great flavor and tenderness. I harvest the live animal at about 1,275-1,350 pounds, which hangs a carcass just under 700 pounds, yielding about 450 pounds of retail product. “A direction the business is going that I did not expect is producing snack sticks and jerky. This has created an opportunity to capture value out of animals that are at the end of their production lives, predominantly bulls. Currently, our jerky is on a special-order basis due to high demand and a limited supply.” During hunting season, Trout Creek Meats markets 75-100 pounds of snack sticks and jerky per week via wholesaling at local stores.

Telling the story This pen of Knott Land and Livestock steers at Chappell Feedlot in Nebraska was gaining 4.6 pounds per day at the beginning of December. They were converting at 5.3 pounds of feed per pound of gain. The Knotts also partner with the feedlot to assemble steers that go to Knott Land and Livestock for summer grazing. Those yearling steers head back to Chappell. Both home-raised and purchased cattle are fed for the Hereford-favored value grid at Omaha Beef packing plant.

... Sustaining and Adapting continued from page 17

One of the more important things that Herefords do for us is a more consistent disposition. Calm cattle gain more pounds,” says Tyler Knott. “I culled a Hereford cow due to age this fall, for drought reasons only. She was a coming 12-year-old with only a few teeth and she was probably one of our bestfleshed cows. She bred within our breeding window, and raised an above-average calf. I haven’t had the same results with other breeds that we have used.

“The more direct connection we can make with the consumer, the more personal their relationship with their food will become," Tyler says. “I make this statement daily with our hunting/recreation enterprise: ‘We are selling an experience not an elk.’ The same needs to be true with our food system. If their sustenance becomes an experience and not just a product, then the consumer will support our business.” Along the way, consumers are more prone to think about how public policy could affect their experience. Open and deliberate communication with consumers fosters faith in beef and its producers. Knott Land and Livestock is near a major ski and recreation area that attracts many folks unfamiliar with ranching and agriculture. It can be a microcosm of the disconnect between agricultural and urban mores. Tyler and his family are among those rare individuals who seek to understand consumer concerns and find common ground. “We cannot continue to operate if we don’t recognize other people’s goals and our goals — finding the middle ground,” Tyler says. “We operate in an area with a very strong tourism and recreation-rich environment. That brings in a lot of dollars, both good and bad, and a lot of ranches are being purchased by outside interests.

— Tyler Knott “These properties need managed for the health of the ranch. It’s easy to combine our goals of livestock production and property management for the benefit of the property. That’s the key. As operators, we need to understand that not everything we have done for 100 years is the way to go. Sometimes, there are certain pastures or meadows that can have ‘other’ uses. Just because that isn’t how we have done it, doesn’t mean that it can’t be done.” With their meat business, the Knott family has a new and expanding avenue of communication with consumers. “We in agriculture need to market our story better as utilizing the limited land we have been provided to produce products that feed and clothe the world, among other things,” Tyler believes. “If we manage with a land-first mindset — and most producers do — then the land will sustain the world. We need managers of this process, just as most people need finance managers of our monetary wealth. Agriculture needs to find a way to be paid a fair rate for the services we are providing.” Although the proverbial jury is still out, Tyler says, “I hope one positive of the pandemic is that Americans can start to see how dependent they are on agriculture.”

Brisket Disease Basics Brisket disease goes by many names, including high mountain disease, dropsy and pulmonary hypertension. It stems from declining oxygen levels as altitude increases, due to atmospheric pressure. It is common in cattle above altitudes of approximately 5,000 feet. Simply put, with less oxygen reaching the lungs and pulmonary artery of cattle, the pulmonary artery constricts, making it more difficult for the heart to pump the same amount of blood through the lungs. “The cow cannot adjust her respiratory rate to compensate for the lack of oxygen at higher altitudes, so her heart has to work harder to get the same amount of oxygen to the body,” explains Tyler Knott of Knott Land and Livestock, Oak Creek, Colo. “As the heart works harder, it increases blood pressure; then it becomes chronic disease. They start retaining fluids and their performance is reduced. A lot of times with cows, you’ll start having open cows because they can’t meet their reproductive nutrition demand because they are utilizing so much energy just to stay alive. The acute side is their arteries will rupture or the heart will blow out. Ultimately, death is the end result of all brisket-related issues.” Knott ranches range to elevations beyond 8,000 feet. They and other ranchers at high altitudes Knott Land and Livestock uses crossbreeding to combat brisket disease, and they use Hereford, routinely work to prevent and manage brisket disease. which are more resistant to brisket disease, within Although all breeds of cattle are susceptible to brisket disease, Hereford cattle exhibit more their crossbreeding program. resistance, based on a lower percentage that fail Pulmonary Arterial Pressure (PAP) testing, a diagnostic measure used to determine individual animal risk for developing brisket disease. Cattle receive a PAP score. For instance, when tested at an elevation of 5,500-7,000 feet, cattle with a score of 34-45 are considered low risk. Those with a score of 46-49 are deemed to be at moderate risk; high risk at higher scores. “We have consistently selected bulls with low PAP scores at 40 or below, being measured off the ranch, or at 43 or less measured on the ranch, as suitable to bring into our operation. This greatly reduces the genetic diversity we have available and is one of the major reasons we implement a crossbreeding program,” Tyler explains. It’s also one reason why Hereford is part of their crossbreeding system. “The Herefords tend to do better than other breeds,” Tim Holt, DVM, explained in a Hereford World article, Mountain Masters, several years ago. “If we wanted to sum up the Hereford breed as a whole, they tend to have a lower percentage of those tested that have failed. Does that mean they are naturally resistant to the disease? Not necessarily, but they tend to be more reliable at all elevations.” Holt received the Pioneer Award from the Beef Improvement Federation in 2018 for his pivotal role in developing and delivering a veterinary test that predicts susceptibility to pulmonary hypertension. He conducted his first PAP test in 1980. By the time he received the award he had conducted more than 350,000 PAP tests in the U.S. and other countries. Although there is now a PAP expected progeny difference (EPD) for Angus cattle, Tyler explains the gene pool with the measure is limited. He adds, “There are too many beef animals produced at lower altitudes (below 5,000 feet) that are in the production system and cannot provide us with accurate data regarding PAP.”

Watch Congress

Failure to reauthorize Livestock Mandatory Reporting could disrupt markets. by Wes Ishmael

rguably, cattle markets dodged another market depressing event in October when Congress temporarily extended authorization of Livestock Mandatory Reporting (LMR), but the law will expire in February without further action. “Livestock Mandatory Reporting, or LMR, is critical to ranchers because it requires sale barns and packers to disclose the prices at which they buy livestock. This information is relied upon heavily by ranchers for transparency in livestock markets. Without an extension of LMR, ranchers would be in the dark over the value of their livestock

because reporting would no longer be required by law,” explained Scott Bennett, director of congressional relations for the American Farm Bureau Federation, in that organization’s Dec. 9 Newsline. LMR was established in 1999 to facilitate open, transparent price discovery and provide all market participants comparable levels of market information for slaughter cattle, swine, sheep, boxed beef, lamb meat and wholesale pork. Concerns about increasing industry concentration — more market information in fewer hands — prompted the legislation. “It is important to appreciate with implementation of LMR a significant amount of market information is available in a manner much more trusted than was the case of voluntary reporting prior to LMR being implemented in April of 2001,” Glynn Tonsor, agricultural economist at Kansas State University, explained in testimony last summer in a hearing before the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. “LMR, at best, can work as a mirror on markets, which themselves reflect fundamentals of supply and demand that underlie meat and livestock price levels,” Tonsor said. “Economists have long recognized the substantial value of reliable, accessible and timely market information because it critically guides all resource allocations.”

Proposed legislation

In December, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 418-9 to advance a bill (H.R. 5290), which would extend LMR authorization through Sept. 30, 2022. House Agriculture Committee Chairman David Scott (D-GA) introduced the bill, which was supported by Ranking Member Glenn “G.T.” Thompson (R-PA) and unanimously approved by the Committee. Although LMR has strong support in the House, the U.S. Senate will also need to back the reporting before it becomes law. “The Senate needs to pass a similar measure in order for the President to sign the bill into law, but we already know of several senators that oppose an extension of that timeframe. We continue to work with the Senate to ensure a timely reauthorization of LMR,” Bennett said.

Market Tracks Cattle and beef prices continue pandemic recovery. by Wes Ishmael

omparing year-over-year cattle prices always demands context, especially when cyclical supply fundamentals are significantly different, as is the case now versus 12 months ago. Even so, the snapshot illustrated by the accompanying table provides perspective on the direction and degree of market shifting. Data comes from USDA reports. The footnotes detail the specific reports and dates. Look at the increased year-over-year estimated total cattle slaughter and beef production. You see the effect of beef packing throughput returning closer to pre-pandemic levels.

Consumers demand higher quality

Keeping in mind the carcass premiums and discounts depict a simple average of prices paid across five weeks, notice the staggering year-over-year $31.01 per hundredweight (cwt.) price increase in the premium for USDA Prime grading cattle, compared to USDA Choice. Certainly, the return to more on-premises dining is part of the story. Considered alongside the slight decrease in the price paid for carcasses grading in the upper two-thirds of Choice, there is little question consumers continue to seek more beef of higher quality. “Today, we have a much better product than we had in the past, and our customers are rewarding us with more dollars,” said Kevin Good, CattleFax market analyst and vice president of industry relations, during the American Hereford Association Annual Membership Meeting and Conference in October. “Think about grade, think about consistency. They are the driving points.”

The jump in Prime prices is likely also related to consumer access. “Let’s remember that last year, with COVID, we couldn’t sell Prime through restaurants; it went through retail. Every major retail chain in the U.S. now has a premium product offering. Consumers want it, so we’re going to have to provide it,” Good explained. “There will be a time when we produce 20-30% Prime in the national herd, and it’s not that far away.” On the other side of the carcass quality fence, you’ll notice the discount for Select grading carcasses was less severe year over year during the same weeks. Among other things, this reality speaks to strong ground beef demand and fewer beef imports to the U.S. The sizeable increase in retail beef prices portrays both demand and inflation.

Winter Weather Outlook

La Niña predicted to bring drought relief for the Northwest but southern states may have a dry winter. by Cristin Tavernaro

he redeveloped La Niña is expected to bring cooler, wetter conditions across the northwestern part of the U.S., warmer, wetter weather in the Northeast, and persistent, dry forecasts in the South. As of late November, just more than 50% of the continental U.S. was experiencing drought conditions. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported the summer of 2021 to be the hottest on record since it began recording data 126 years ago. Summer 2021 even topped the summer of the 1936 Dust Bowl temperatures by 0.01 of a degree. With wetter than normal conditions expected for much of the Northwest, La Niña is expected to bring relief to the drought conditions in the Pacific Northwest, Idaho and the western portions of Montana and Wyoming. Hawaii will also likely see some drought improvement. However, drought is expected to develop and persist in the western half of the Great Plains and remain in the West and Southwest. You can find the recent U.S. Drought Monitor in Market Tracks on Page 26. Warmer than normal temperatures are predicted for much of the Midwest, Southwest and Mid-Atlantic region. The greatest chances for above-average temperatures are forecasted near the East Coast, mostly in the Southeast and Northeast. Below-normal temperatures will accompany predictions of wetter weather in the Pacific Northwest and extend to most of the Dakotas. However, warmer temperatures are expected in the states surrounding the Great Lakes, even though the region is forecast to experience a wet winter. The southern border of New Mexico and south Florida have the greatest chance for drier than average conditions, with moderate chances for dry weather extending to the rest of the Southwest, California and the southern half of the southeastern states. A curve of equal chances for below-, near- or above-average precipitation bends through the middle of the continental U.S. and extends up the Northern Plains and follows the east coast up from the Mid-Atlantic to the Northeast. La Niña gained strength during the fall, according to the NOAA Climate Prediction Center. It has about a 50% chance to continue from March to May of 2022.

People Person in a People’s Business John Ascuaga left a legacy of success, philanthropy and hard work in his business, the community and the Hereford breed. by Katie Maupin Miller

ven when the Nugget’s Celebrity Showroom stage was filled to the brim with Hereford bulls, as those heavy gilded curtains rose, the biggest presence might have been the slightest man. Standing just 5 foot 2 — in his signature cowboy boots — John Ascuaga and his short-brimmed silver belly hat captivated the crowd before the Western Nugget Sale hosted at his own Nugget Hotel and Casino. The Nugget Casino’s Celebrity Showroom often served as a pedestal for giants — from the literal giants like the elephants, Bertha and Tina, to figurative giants such as the countless celebrities and entertainers who stopped in Sparks, Nev., to share their talents. Yet, few cast a larger shadow than John himself, who left a broad swath of change in his wake. He will long be remembered as a gaming pioneer, visionary businessman, stockman, Hereford enthusiast, devoted family man and an example of the American dream.

John purchased the Nugget for $3.75 million in his mid30s without a penny down, and he paid it off five years early. John’s integrity was noted by bankers, business owners and cattlemen alike. He often did business with a handshake.

While it may be easy to look at John’s legacy and assume his path to success was paved smooth or luck played the only hand, a closer inspection of John’s humble roots serves as a reminder that hard work still makes way for those who dream big.

The epitome of the American dream

Along with his twin sister, Rose, John was born to Spanish Basque immigrants on Jan. 7, 1925. Raised during the Great Depression, John learned how faith, family and a good work ethic saw people through hard times. His parents, Jose and Marina, instilled these values in their four children on the family’s modest Caldwell, Idaho, homestead. “I don’t think he ever forgot where he came from,” says Cleo Shaw, of Shaw Cattle Co., in John’s hometown of Caldwell. “I don’t

think he ever forgot that his parents were immigrants, and they worked their tails off to get to where they were and to be successful farmers in the community.” John’s high school yearbook foreshadowed his professional success when his classmates predicted, “He would own the biggest gambling den in Reno.” Indeed, John was destined for the gaming and hospitality industry, but he first furthered his education at the University of Idaho and Washington State University. John paid his way through school after a short stint in the Army. While his education gave him knowledge of accounting and hotel and restaurant management, a summer job helped John find his way to Nevada. While still going to school, John worked as a bellhop at Shore Lodge in McCall, Idaho, where he met Dick Graves, an Idaho slot machine owner and soon-to-be Nevada gaming pioneer. Impressed by the bellhop’s energy, Dick hired John after he graduated college in 1952. Idaho declared slot machines illegal statewide just two years later, so Dick relocated to Nevada, and John followed. Dick named John the general manager of his Sparks, Nev., location, and the Nugget was born as a 60-seat coffee shop with a few slot machines on March 17, 1955. After just three years of growth, the Nugget outgrew its humble coffee shop home and moved across the street to its current location. When Dick wanted to retire in 1960, he sold the Nugget to John with a simple handshake and without a single penny down. John was just 34 years old when he agreed to pay $3.75 million over 12 years for the enterprise. He paid it off in seven. John continued to build the Nugget with his friendly, personal service, excellent dining, headlining entertainment, special events, and of course, gaming. Under John’s leadership, the Nugget grew into one of the largest Nevada hotelcasinos. When John sold the Nugget in 2014, it boasted more than 1,600 hotel rooms, 75,000 square feet of casino gaming, nine restaurants and much more.

Solid stockman

Even while John was at the helm of the Nugget, his business empire didn’t distract him from his Idaho roots. His father was a shepherd, and John always appreciated agriculture. Like his father, John kept a herd of sheep, but it was when he returned to Caldwell to visit family that John discovered his love for the bald-faced breed. John had returned to Idaho to visit his brother, Frank Ascuaga, who raised row crops on the family’s farm. Frank and his wife, Winnie, were dear friends to Hereford breeders Tom and Mary Shaw, or as John came to call them teasingly, T.S. and M.S. When John was in town to see Frank, he ended up on the Shaw ranch looking through Hereford cattle. It wasn’t long before John purchased some Herefords for his Jack’s Valley Ranch, which became his family’s home in 1970. The 1,250-acre ranch near Carson City, Nev., was the perfect backdrop for John to impart the same lessons of hard work and Hereford.org

responsibility to his children while pursuing his lifelong dream of ranching. At the height of his cattle enterprise, John also owned land in Smith, Nev., and Bridgeport, Calif., where he ran a commercial cattle operation designed to supply beef to the many restaurants he owned, in addition to his Hereford seedstock. He was said to be quite proud of raising his own beef and would tell patrons about his cattle and production agriculture. While many entrepreneurs might seek out a branded beef program for their enterprises, only a cattleman would raise cattle, feed them and harvest them for their hospitality business. While others with John’s responsibilities might have had trouble finding time for ranch work, John relished in it. He both oversaw and worked in the cattle operation. He wasn’t afraid of a bit of dirt or hard work. John accompanied the crew to drive cattle from Smith to Bridgeport, checked cows and calved out heifers. One story passed along told of the time a man drove to Jack’s Valley to see the famed gaming maven John Ascuaga only to find a small man dressed in chore clothes feeding cattle in an old pick-up truck. Little did that gentleman know he Even with the striking display of Hereford bulls taking center stage at the Nugget Hotel and Casino, had met the owner of the Nugget.

And, John remembered everybody. “I was one of those people that thought, you know, I will just be another face or another number if I’m lucky enough to be introduced to or get to visit with [John]. But the very next time you met that man, John would stick his hand out and call you by name,” says Patty Wolf, who worked many Western Nugget sales with her husband, Willard. “He was just the most amazing man. He remembered everyone’s name, and he treated everyone as if they not only had a name but had a story.” Besides his uncanny knack for recognizing faces and remembering names, John took a genuine interest in each person he

Herefords at the Nugget

With his Nugget Hotel and Casino as the backdrop, John’s knack for stockmanship and entertainment collided during the memorable Western Nuggest Show and Sale. Hereford enthusiasts were greeted with a stage full of sale bulls to kick-off the festivities.

somebody that was the janitor type or one of the managers — he knew them all.” John, in turn, held each employee to the same high standards he carried himself. During John’s management, visitors to the Nugget said every employee shared John’s work ethic, enthusiasm, meticulous attention to detail and friendly nature. “He just surrounded himself with good, hardworking people that no matter what they were doing, they all seemed to enjoy their job. They just enjoyed working for John and with him,” says Mark Holt, former fieldman for the American Hereford Association (AHA). John also passed these traits onto his children. After meeting his wife, Rose Ardans, in the late ’50s, the couple was engaged after three dates. John and Rose had four children, Camille, John L., Michonne and Stephen, and by all accounts, John was a devoted father. “As proud as John was of the Nugget and his cattle herd, he was even more proud as a father and a husband,” Cleo says. His children recall John making the hour-long drive from the Sparks casino home to the Jack’s Valley Ranch to sit down for a family dinner nearly every evening, even if he had to turn around and drive back into town for business after the plates were cleared. Perhaps that isn’t surprising, though. John was noted by those who knew him as a man who gave to things he loved. An adamant believer in education, John gave more than 700 scholarships in Nevada. In 2016, the National Junior Hereford Association awarded the first Hereford scholarships in his name. True to his Basque heritage, John often supported Basque charities. Cleo even recalls him sending hundreds of Basque bread loaves to his hometown each year for a community fundraiser. John also supported many Catholic charities as a man of faith. Plus, stockmen always felt at home at the Nugget. Cattle shows, sheep shows, Cattlemen’s conventions and more were welcomed into John’s hotel and casino. Perhaps none were welcomed as warmly as the bald-faced breed, though, as John helped found the Western Nugget Show and Sale in 1967.

Hereford enthusiasts who were there still get chills when they recall Leroy Van Dyke’s baritone voice cutting through the crowd with the chant of The Auctioneer song — “Hey well alright, sir. Here we go there, and what are ya’ gonna give for ’em.” As those heavy golden curtains raised, they revealed a stage full of Hereford bulls — fitted for the show ring with a dusting of glitter to catch the spotlights as they stood above the crowd. Mark recalls standing next to John as the gilded curtain rose at the Nugget. “It was just a really, really special moment to see [John’s] face light up as the song played,” he says. “It hasn’t been done, and probably will never be done, in any other breed.” It was a memorable sight for those in the audience, too. A stage full of big bulls was also a testament to the Hereford breed. Nary a one spooked at the bright lights, crowd or curtains during the decades the sale bulls were showcased together on the Nugget’s Celebrity Showcase stage. “In the 15 years I was working for Hereford, no more than a wiggle,” Mark recalls. “Nothing ever stepped out of line or did anything. A bull might have rocked back and forth or moved a foot, but that’s it.” John loved entertainment and good Hereford cattle. His two passions met during the Western Nugget Show and Sale. Even as the venue owner, John always found time to go through the sale cattle when the Herefords were in town. He could be found watching the show or walking through the aisles visiting with fellow Hereford breeders. He was putting his exceptional memory to use, recalling pedigrees and cattle. In the Sparks-Reno area, John was such a noted businessman that he could still do business with a handshake, just as he sealed deals with cattlemen in the barn or pasture. “His word was better than any contract you could find. And so business with John was always just a handshake,” says Cleo. “And you knew that it would never go south because he was that type of man.” For generously hosting the Western Nugget at his hotel and casino for decades, John received the Western States Hereford Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award, a standing ovation and a Bud Snidow painting during the 2007 event. In 2014, the businessman and cattleman was inducted into the AHA Hall of Merit. In his nomination form, Cheryl Thomas, who was secretary/treasurer of the Western States Hereford Association penned, “John is the reason the Western National Hereford Show and Sale takes place. It all started with a Hereford bull sale in a tent in the Nugget parking lot in 1967, which evolved into the sale on the stage inside.” Outside of his contributions to his business, community and the Hereford breed, John was simply a hard-working, humble, kind man who left a lasting impact on everyone who crossed his path. Perhaps Patty sums it up the best. “The man was just the most common, ordinary, huge, huge mighty man.”

John Ascuaga, Carson City, Nev., was inducted into the Hereford Hall of Merit Oct. 31, 2014, in Kanasas City, Mo.

Regenerating Grasslands and Sustaining the Beef Industry Regenerative ranching and sustainable practices are imperative to the future of the beef industry. By Macey Mueller

Environmental stewardship is a critical component of the beef production system. This is the first in a series of four articles that will highlight the conversations, the practices and the outcomes related to ensuring a long-term food supply and a positive environmental impact.

s consumers’ demand for beef continues to increase, so does their desire to know more about how that beef was raised and what producers are doing to ensure responsible beef systems. Although farmers and ranchers have long been good stewards of the land, the topic of sustainable agriculture has gained significant traction over the last several years in light of consumer concerns about animal welfare, environmental protection and climate change. While it’s not a completely new concept, regenerative agriculture — the practice of using land to improve or restore the overall quality of water and soil — is starting to make its way into the conversation. Both sustainable and regenerative agriculture focus on building resilience to climate change and bringing strength and vitality to the global food production system, but Phillip Lancaster, research assistant professor at Kansas State University’s Beef Cattle Institute, said in thinking about the two terms, sustainability has implications of maintaining the status quo, whereas regenerative has an implication of enhancing and increasing. “Oftentimes, the practices involved — improving soil health, increasing productivity, matching cattle to their environment and avoiding overgrazing — are similar,” he said. “It’s really more about the context in which it’s done. For example, if you are using these practices to add soil organic matter, you are using regenerative agriculture to reach the achievable maximum, but if you’ve already reached that maximum in the soil, you are using these practices to sustain that level of soil organic matter.”

Sustainability and soil

Soil organic matter is important because it provides nutrients for growing plants and crops and is an integral part of the carbon sequestration process in which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and stored in the soil carbon pool. Lancaster said to achieve long-term carbon storage, it needs to be absorbed deep into the soil through plants with deep roots that eventually die and decay, leaving the carbon in the soil longer. Carbon sequestration is highly dependent on the environment — arid regions have slower rates compared to more temperate climates with abundant forage production. “By managing healthier above-ground forage production, we are getting more root development and depth and getting more carbon down into the soil,” he said. Grasslands are estimated to contain 20% of the world’s soil organic carbon, and regenerative agriculture is generally used to replace soil carbon lost to soil tillage or overgrazing. Lancaster said the adoption of management-intensive grazing, no-till and cover cropping practices has been instrumental in replacing soil carbon during the past 30 years. While soil health is imperative to maintaining a sufficient global food supply, Lancaster said there are other aspects of the ecosystem such as plant and animal biodiversity that also fall under the idea of regenerative agriculture. “Researchers are beginning to understand how grassland and rangeland management impacts plant species composition and wildlife

populations and are developing novel management strategies such as patch burning to enhance plant and animal biodiversity,” he said. One of the biggest challenges related to sustainable and regenerative agriculture is often measuring success. Lancaster suggests taking a visual appraisal of a piece of land each year at the same time and in the same location to gauge improvements in vegetation. “Cattle tend to congregate around water sources, shade and close to wherever you’re putting out feed, so often those areas are going to get grazed much more heavily than areas that are half a mile from water,” he said. “So if I put in some additional water sources and implement a rotational grazing program, then I should see those overgrazed areas start to recover. “By taking pictures of those areas, I’m going to see that the vegetation is better year after year, and if the vegetation is better, I’m going to be increasing the soil carbon because I’m going to have more plant roots in the soil that are decaying year after year.” Measuring success is important, not just from a land management standpoint, but from the consumer’s perspective as well.

Consumer demands

Lancaster said consumers are becoming much more aware of what’s happening in the environmental arena, and it’s putting pressure on the beef supply chain to better explain the drastic improvements made over the past several decades and the efforts to continue progress. According to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and USDA data, the U.S. cattle herd decreased 8%, yet produced 3% more beef and lowered greenhouse gas emissions 2% during the 20-year span from 1997 to 2017. Despite the dramatic improvements in efficiency, Lancaster said society has to continue to see value in the beef production system. “From a consumer/social standpoint, the value in beef cattle ranching is producing human food,” he said. “To keep that value and maintain beef demand, we’ve got to continually make improvements and address some of these bigger issues such as greenhouse gases, sustainability and soil health. “We have to maintain our credibility with the consumer and show that we’re making continuous improvements.” Kim Stackhouse-Lawson, director of AgNext and professor of animal science at Colorado State University (CSU), said consumers really care about the impact their choices have on our planet. “They’re a group of consumers who really believe their investments can influence climate change. It’s less about them knowing we met a sustainability goal and more about them having permission to feel good about the product they are purchasing,” she said. “They want to feel beef is aligned with who they are on an emotional and ethical level. “The beef industry is dealing with a challenging reputation where more consumers than perhaps we would like to acknowledge believe beef’s environmental impact is quite large, and so we need to be proactive in developing solutions to reduce impact and connect with our consumers to help them see we are passionate about improving and making a difference.” Stackhouse-Lawson said while there are efforts being made to create a prescribed and branded system of regenerative agriculture, best practices in animal agriculture are determined by the size, location and management of the operation, and there is no one-sizefits-all approach for producers to be successful. Hereford.org

“When we define sustainability to include environmental, economic and social factors, producers need to be able to flex and adjust based on the needs of their operation,” she said. “That doesn’t mean there are not practices that are still important to implement, it just means silver bullets don’t exist in sustainability, and we need much more of a silver buckshot approach.”

Regenerating grasslands

However, when talking about regenerating grazing landscapes, Stackhouse-Lawson said there are three important things producers can do, including preserving rangelands, converting marginal lands back to grazing lands and practicing adaptive livestock management. She explained adaptive livestock management is about matching the cattle and the technique to the landscape — something producers have been implementing for years — but technology currently in the works could make it trackable and measurable in the future. For example, producers may be able to harness precision herding technology and the use of GPS-collared animals in virtual fencing to strategically get cattle immediately to a field where grass is growing at the absolute perfect moment to enhance the soil and carbon sequestration without a significant investment in labor and fence. “Adaptive management has been practiced for a very long time, as producers really think about the landscape and managing their cattle to account for biodiversity, heterogeneity and wildlife species,” Stackhouse-Lawson said. “But we’re in this exciting, pivotal moment where technology could really define what that looks like for ranchers and to help make some of those finite management decisions more cost effective.” Producer efforts to improve soil health also affect the industry’s overall impact on the environment. Stackhouse-Lawson said according to EPA data, cattle are responsible for approximately 3.8% of all man-made greenhouse gases in the U.S., but that number doesn’t include a systems approach that also tracks carbon sinks, or the amount of carbon being stored in the ground. That number also doesn’t consider the many other benefits grazing lands and ranges provide to society beyond carbon sequestration, and Stackhouse-Lawson said oftentimes these benefits get left out of the conversation.

“Grazing lands Silver bullets don’t exist provide a range of in sustainability, and we ecosystem services like water quality, wildfire need much more of a silver suppression, wildlife habitat and biodiversity, buckshot approach. and those open spaces — Kim Stackhouse-Lawson mean something to society,” she said. “I get worried we might get so focused on carbon, we actually damage some of those other really important ecosystem services. “Of course, climate change is exceptionally important, but so are those other ecosystem services. We need to continue to stay very balanced in our approach.” Furthermore, Stackhouse-Lawson said approximately 29% of the land in the U.S. is grassland that is too rocky, steep or arid to support growing crops for food and yet can support ruminants. So it not only provides ecosystem services, but also contributes to improving food security domestically and globally. “Those are really important sustainability attributes, and we cannot lose sight — not as an industry, not as academics, not as a society — on how important those things are to us,” she said. “We’ve got to be very practical and very system focused and patient as we attempt to understand solutions that aren’t going to create further challenges.” Animal agriculture continues to be an integral part of our global food system and essential to food security, our culture and ecosystem health, Stackhouse-Lawson said. Regenerative practices can play into the broader goals set by individual producers and the industry as a whole. “When we talk about regenerative and sustainable agriculture, to me, they are one in the same, but sustainability is perhaps a broader descriptor of an overarching kind of system health and regenerative is more about homing in on a micro system to ensure the system is in balance,” she said. “We tend to define regenerative agriculture as something that focuses on maximizing and restoring natural resources, while also limiting the amount of disruption to the soil and natural ecosystems. So, in our mind at CSU, it’s more about an outcome rather than the implementation of a practice.”

Birth Right Pros and cons to different calving seasons. by Heather Smith Thomas

Photo by Denise Amos

here is no perfect time to calve, but certain calving seasons are more conducive to a particular operation’s climate, market goals, management resources and a host of other considerations. For the purposes of this article, early calving refers to JanuaryFebruary, spring calving to March-April, summer to May-June or June-July and fall to August-October. Traditionally, most beef calves in the United States are born in late winter and early spring — February through April — a calving season historically rooted in the idea of weaning calves in the fall with the opportunity to grow them through the winter. Although some calves go directly to the feedlot, labor challenges associated with managing the health of young calves means many first go through a stocker or backgrounding phase. Economics play a role, too. Feedlots may shift buying preference for lighter or heavier calves based on the value of gain, which is partly determined by feed costs.

pasture, explains John Campbell, DVM, professor with the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan. Compared to calving earlier in confined areas, such as calving barns, he says calving later in more open areas reduces calf death loss and sickness. “Another advantage of calving later is that cows calving on pasture have more exercise than when confined in winter for closer monitoring,” Campbell explains. “Folks who calve later see fewer dystocia problems.” Some of that could stem from choosing easier calving bulls, but he says it could also be partly due to cows getting more exercise and being in better physical shape at calving time. There is also research suggesting cows calving earlier in cold climates have calves with heavier birth weights. Cows in these conditions are often fed with the requirements of cold weather maintenance in mind. When a cow is trying to maintain body heat, more blood is concentrated around internal organs, including the uterus, bringing more nutrients to the fetus when it is growing fastest during the last two months of gestation. The notion is that both factors contribute to a heavier winter-born birth weight associated with potential calving problems. Also, experience suggests cows tend to calve easier on green pasture than when confined and fed hay.

Tradeoffs to calving later

Cow-calf producers traditionally favor spring calving based on resources and management, even though it means feeding cows through the winter, during early lactation, when their nutritional needs are the highest and when cold, wet weather can challenge new calves. Unsurprisingly, Colorado State University (CSU) beef systems students often wonder why so much calving occurs during a time of year when there is no grass. They wonder why more calves aren’t born later in the year like wildlife. “This is a legitimate question,” says Jason Ahola, a CSU beef management systems specialist who teaches the beef systems class. “There are definitely benefits, but in the West, many ranchers calve in January because they want cows bred before they go to summer range.” Ahola explains many ranchers in that part of the world depend on permits and leases issued by the Bureau of Land Management or the U.S. Forest Service. Producers need calves on the ground and cows bred before turning them out on public lands. For those unfamiliar with these resources, calving and breeding on western rangelands is often a poor management option. Consider only the breeding part of the equation. The vast geography requires more bulls. Even then, the breeding season and subsequent calving season are strung out and lengthened. Plus, some leases and permits are shared between ranches. In those instances, it is impossible to ensure heifers are bred to selected calving ease bulls or that cows are bred to a bull battery chosen for specific genetic improvement. Where possible, though, some producers are moving to later calving, when the weather is warmer and cows can calve on open

Shifting the calving season from spring to summer or fall comes with other advantages and challenges. For instance, calving later in late spring or early summer means breeding during the hottest times of the year. “One thing we see with a later calving season and later breeding is that breeding in July-August has a slightly lower pregnancy percentage, which might be caused by poorer pasture quality when cows are lactating during that breeding period,” says Campbell. Breeding during the hottest part of the year can also lead to embryo loss in cows and reduced bull fertility. “The downside of calving late in the year in some regions is that the quality of forage is declining. The protein level is lower as grasses dry out,” Ahola explains. “You can supplement with protein but this might not be the best scenario in terms of matching the cows to their environment. It depends on where you are. In the Southeastern U.S., the grass starts to come back in the fall because weather is starting to cool off, and grasses that went through a summer slump in hot, dry weather are greening up again.” Moreover, Ahola says producers calving in early summer need to decide when and how to wean later-born calves. Weaning them in the fall, when they’re 4 or 5 months old could be too early. Waiting until January could be too cold. Some who calve May-June still wean in November to avoid feeding hay to lactating cows, Ahola says. He notes summer-born calves on irrigated pastures grow faster than earlier-born calves on dry rangelands. By November, the weight of both groups will be similar. On the other hand, Ahola explains a few producers leave summer-born calves on their mamas through the winter and then wean them in March. Cows are past peak lactation by then and some are already self-weaning their calves. The cows have time to recover on green grass and be ready to calve again in May or June. Hereford.org

Whether leaving the calves on the cows through winter is an option can depend on available nutrition. Plus, Ahola points out breeding later in the season can also reduce costs when bulls can be shared with someone else whose herd calves earlier. “As long as the bulls are trich tested and healthy, this is a way to cut bull costs. Most bulls work for only about 60 days of the year,” says Ahola. In a shared-bull situation, he explains bulls could be rested a few weeks after their early breeding season and then be used again. “Even if you had to increase the bull to cow ratio a little, this could save money. The same thing with AI. If you are having trouble finding someone to do your AI when everyone else is doing it, this would be a chance to utilize these technicians when they are not busy,” Ahola says. Weaning later has some market advantages, too. “In our area the market is seasonal, with most calves hitting the market in November (and prices dropping). If you market calves later — in February, March or April — prices may be better again,” Campbell says. Fall calving season also provides unique marketing opportunities. “The summer-grazing segment of our industry, versus the cow-calf, feedlot and packer sectors is the most consistently profitable,” Ahola says. “It’s low cost, if you have the grass. You can kick those weaned calves out as soon as the grass is ready, and gather them up at the end of summer when grass begins to decline, with maximum gain. Part of your income is from gain on the yearlings; you may not have to own as many cows.” On the other side of the scale, producers with fallcalving herds in cold climates can face a situation similar to those calving in JanuaryFebruary with higher winter feed costs associated with carrying lactating cows through winter.

operations to change unless they go to fall and spring calving (dual calving season). This gives the customer the option of buying bulls that are older than yearlings, but not yet 2-year-olds. Some stockmen prefer the 18-month-old bull that can handle a few more cows and more rugged conditions than a yearling.” A Nebraska seedstock producer serves as another example. The operation calved February-March for many years because it sold yearling bulls. It also fought scours and pneumonia in young calves. This operation shifted to calving in August-September. Bulls are now sold at 18 months of age rather than at 14 months. Cost of production decreased with less need for grain and more opportunity to utilize forage. Bull yearling weights are lighter, but the genetic potential is the same. Editor’s Note: Heather Smith Thomas and her husband, Lynn, have ranched near Salmon, Idaho for more than four decades. She also writes cattle articles that appear in numerous U.S. and Canadian cattle publications, including Hereford World. She is the author of numerous books, including “The Cattle Health Handbook.”

Seedstock considerations

Sometimes it’s more difficult for a seedstock producer to change calving season than it is for a commercial producer. “If customers have been coming to your place to buy yearling bulls in a spring bull sale for the past 10 years, and you move your calving season and those bulls are only 9 months old at that time, you can’t sell them that young,” Ahola says. “Just like the range user, you are locked into a certain time of year that you need to calve. “You may have to sell 18-month-old bulls. Some operations have done this. My own situation is a seedstock operation, and we calve much earlier than we should. We start the end of January to produce bulls that are old enough to market in our sale. There’s no other way to do it unless you sell 2-yearolds. Many 2-year-olds sell for about the same price as a yearling, yet you have an additional year of feed cost. It’s hard for seedstock Hereford.org

Hereford Genetics Add Market Power

AHA commercial programs provide added marketing options for Hereford-influenced cattle.

arketing options often help commercial cattlemen add value to their feeder cattle or replacement females. With many options available, finding the best program to add value might seem daunting. However, the American Hereford Association (AHA) has tailored three commercial programs to provide marketing assistance specifically for commercial cattlemen using Hereford genetics. The AHA is committed to growing demand for Hereford genetics and providing breeders tools backed by data and research that drive profit. Developing tools to provide commercial producers with information to advance their programs through heterosis is a major focus of the AHA. The Hereford Advantage, Premium Red Baldy and Maternal Advantage programs are resources designed to help commercial cattlemen incorporate Hereford genetics into their programs more successfully and add value to their operations. Producers interested in these commercial programs do not have to be AHA members to enroll; however, bulls must have transferred ownership and rank in the top 50% of the breed for the respective indexes. For additional clarification about selection indexes mentioned below, refer to Selection Indexes Increase Profitability on Page 72.

Hereford Advantage Program

Premium Red Baldy females are expected to rise to the challenge of producing more beef sustainably and profitably, without sacrificing quality. This program is the ideal balance of maternal and carcass traits, which position cattle to yield a higher profit. Premium Red Baldy uses genetics supported by the only two beef breed associations backed by whole herd reporting. Producers interested in verifying their bull battery should call their respective breed representative to complete the verification process and order Allflex tags for $0.99 each. Interested producers should contact Trey Befort, AHA director of commercial programs, at tbefort@herefordbeef.org or Chessie Mitchell, Red Angus Association of America tag program coordinator, at chessie@redangus.org. Registration numbers for Hereford or Red Angus sires must be provided to start the enrollment process. Upon completion of a short phone interview, tags will be shipped to the producer for qualifying females. Only enough tags to match the number of females born on the operation will be issued. Added market exposure will be given to participating groups with cattle being listed on HerefordMarketplace.com. To qualify, females must be red bodied with either a bald or brockle face and be sired by bulls in the top 50% of the breed for the AHA Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) or the Red Angus Association of America’s Profitability and Sustainability Index (ProS). The breed type must be predominately Red Angus and Hereford genetics, with a small allowance for other breeds.

Tips for breech and backward calves. by Heather Smith Thomas

Put it alongside the calf as far into the birth canal as possible. It may take the cow longer in early labor to get the calf’s long hind legs aimed the right direction. When the calf’s feet start to emerge through the vulva, you can tell if they are hind feet because ost calves are born the way Mother Nature intended: the heels and dewclaws will be up, with bottoms of the feet head first and right side up with front feet extended showing. If it’s the front feet, you will see the top part of foot with (Illustration 1).

Mother Nature programs things for a frontward cervix, and the cow’s abdominal contractions along with the uterine delivery, which stretches the cow’s cervix and vulva gradually as the contractions. This does not happen until some part of the calf enters front legs and head come through, followed by the larger shoulders the birth canal, stimulating the cow to strain. and even larger hips. With a breech calf, the only part of its anatomy that can enter In the case of a backward presentation, with hind legs coming the birth canal is the calf’s tail or maybe its hocks. Due to the length first, the hindquarters of the calf come through the birth canal of the hind legs and limited space in the uterus, some calves that are early, which stretches the cow’s cervix and vulva further and positioned backward during late gestation fail to extend their hind sooner than during a normal delivery. The calf’s hips are difficult Editor’s Note: Heather Smith Thomas and her husband, Lynn, have ranched near Salmon, Idaho, for more than four decades.

legs during labor. The rump is jammed against the cervix and the calf can come no farther. Cows with a breech calf may or may not break their water; they appear to be still in early labor. If no water bag is observed, there may be no visible sign that second-stage labor has begun. If you wait too long to check her, the calf will die. Deciding whether to restrain and check a cow that is obviously calving but not yet in active labor, or not yet straining much, can be difficult. It’s always better to respond to a false alarm and check a cow. Either you find the calf’s feet and head are coming and the cow just needs more time, or you discover a situation that demands immediate attention. Problems must be corrected before the placenta begins to detach and the calf dies. To check the cow, restrain her, wash her hind end, use a clean obstetrical sleeve and apply lubricant liberally. When you reach in, if the calf is breech, you’ll feel only the tail or rump, or sometimes the hocks. You must put your arm in a long way through the cervix to reach the calf in the uterus. If the calf is breech, its rump must be pushed forward so it is not jammed against the cervix or pelvis. Doing so creates space to grasp and maneuver each hind leg — one at a time — to bring each into the birth canal. This will be much easier if the cow is standing. When the cow is lying down, all the weight and pressure of her abdomen will be against the calf, making it harder for you to push it It’s always better to back farther into the uterus. Also, she won’t be pushing respond to a false against you quite as hard if she’s standing, making it alarm and check a easier for you to get both cow. Either you find arms into the birth canal while you are also standing. the calf’s feet and head It’s a tight fit to get both are coming and the arms in, especially if you have big arms, but it’s the cow just needs more best way to get a breech calf time, or you discover a repositioned. There is always enough stretch in the vulva situation that demands and vagina to get both arms in; remember that a calf immediate attention… coming through this space is wider than your two arms. The calf must be pushed back as far as possible. Hold it forward, with one hand pushing against the calf’s rump, and grasp a leg with the other hand. Bend the hock and lift it upward, rotating it as you lift. Reach farther forward along that leg until you can find the foot. This takes a long arm. If you are a small person you’ll need someone with a longer arm to do this. Draw the foot backward in an arc, keeping the hock joint flexed tightly and the calf pushed forward as far as possible. Keep your hand cupped around the calf’s toes so they won’t scrape or tear the wall of the uterus as you bring the foot to the rear. Keep the hock joint flexed tightly and lift the foot over the cow’s pelvis. Do the same with the other hind leg after you have the first one straightened out behind the calf and in the birth canal. Make sure the umbilical cord does not get caught over one of the legs as you lift it up. Once both hind legs are extended and in the birth canal, you can attach chains and pull the calf, just as you would a backward calf, using lots of lubricant. If it is impossible to bring the legs into the birth canal, don’t try too long before calling your veterinarian or someone who has more experience (and maybe longer arms!) so you can get the calf out while it is still alive. If your veterinarian cannot reach the legs either, he/she can deliver the calf by C-section.

Using a calf puller

Before using a calf puller, restrain the cow in a place where there is plenty of room behind her to maneuver it properly. You don’t want her in the corner of a barn stall with her hind end too close to the wall. If you restrain her in a squeeze chute, the headgate should be one that will allow her to lie down without choking and with sides that can swing away. Otherwise, be prepared to put a halter on the cow; let her out of the chute and tie her in a more open area so you will have room to maneuver a calf puller, especially if she lies down. Even if the cow is standing when you start to pull the calf, by the time you apply a lot of pressure (when the calf’s hindquarters are coming out) she will usually lie down. This can be difficult continued on page 58...

(and possibly harmful to the cow and/or calf) if she goes down at an awkward angle to the calf puller. It’s best to put the cow on the ground before you begin. That way, you can maneuver the calf puller without danger of her falling down during the process. After the cow is restrained, do a more thorough check inside her to determine the calf’s position. Sometimes the calf’s umbilical cord is caught over a hind leg. This occurs if one of the hind legs passes under the cord as the legs are straightening out to enter the birth canal. If this happens, the cord will be stretched and broken before the calf is halfway out. If the cord is caught over one of the legs, push the calf back into the uterus if you can — far enough to reposition that leg (flexing the hock tightly) to give you enough room to untangle it from the umbilical cord. A backward calf is one Also, make sure the calf’s tail is not straight up and instance where you over its back; the tailhead need a calf puller unless will jam into the cow’s pelvis, impeding the the calf is very small or birth process. Next, attach chains to the you have several strong legs above the fetlock joints. people to assist… Use a double half hitch knot with one loop above and one below the fetlock joint to distribute pressure over more area and to reduce the risk of damaging the joint or breaking a bone. Insert as much lubricant around the calf as you can and start pulling. Pull slowly at first, giving the cow’s cervix time to fully dilate as the calf’s buttocks and hips start through. Traction should be applied on one hind leg at a time until the calf’s stifle emerges over the brim of the cow’s pelvis. Bringing the hind legs into the pelvis one at a time enables the calf’s hindquarters to come through more easily, since the pelvic opening usually will be tight on the calf’s stifles. If the calf’s hindquarters are still “stuck,” cross one of its legs over the other and pull hardest on the lower one in order to rotate the calf a little to one side so the stifles can ease through the pelvis more readily. Another way to rotate the calf’s hindquarters slightly is to bend the hind legs a bit and use them as levers in a circular motion. If the calf is rotated 45 to 90 degrees (nearly lying on its side), this takes advantage of the widest diameter (up and down) of the cow’s pelvis. Check again to make sure the calf’s tail is not aimed upward as the hindquarters start through the pelvis. Put your hand over the rump and make sure the tail is down between the calf’s hind legs. You will have to pull fast and forcefully at the end, so you don’t want the tailhead to damage the cow. The calf’s umbilical cord won’t pinch off until its hindquarters start through the cow’s pelvis, so you have time to go slowly until the hind legs are far enough out to get past the hocks. Once the calf’s hips are clear of the vulva, hurry it out. If you rush at first, you may injure the cow and kill the calf. It’s not uncommon for a calf’s ribcage to be crushed if you pull too forcefully too soon. Direction of pull on the legs should be straight out and slightly upward from the back of the cow, with pressure applied by a calf puller or three strong people. When using a puller with a winch/cable, stop for a moment and reposition the chains after the hocks appear, especially if it is a long-legged calf. This gives you more room (more length of cable) to winch. There’s nothing more frustrating than running out of cable with the calf partway out while the calf’s head and shoulders are still inside the cow. At that point you don’t have time to reposition the chains; the calf will be suffocating because the umbilical cord has already been pinched or broken. After you have the chains above the hocks and your cable repositioned — if you had to rotate the calf’s hindquarters to get its hips through the cow’s pelvis — rotate the calf back into proper position and winch it out. Go slowly and carefully at first until the calf’s tailhead and anus emerge so you are fairly sure the back of the calf’s ribcage has started through the pelvis. Then hurry the calf out before it suffocates. Once the calf’s ribcage starts through the pelvis, some people pull downward, following the natural arc of the birth canal, rather than pulling straight back, which can make it a bit easier to get the calf out. If you are using a calf puller, however, make sure the calf’s hips are nearly out before you pull downward on the calf. Applying too much pressure on the calf’s leg bones when pulling at a bad angle can break the femur bone (bone between hock and stifle) or damage the femoral nerves.

A backward calf is one instance where you need a calf puller unless the calf is very small or you have several strong people to assist. Only a few backward calves are small enough to be pulled by hand. A rare few will survive an unassisted birth if the cow calves fast and jumps up immediately as the calf comes out, so the membranes and fluids come away from the face and the calf can start breathing. Most calves will not survive a backward birth unless you use a calf puller to get them out quickly because the umbilical cord will be pinched or broken and the calf will suffocate before it is born.

Get them breathing quickly

After delivering the calf, clear the fluid from its air passages and help the calf start breathing. After an extended time in the birth canal, calves are at risk of being short on oxygen. Calves born backwards are in greater danger because the umbilical cord is often pinched or broken before the calf is fully delivered. Even if the calf is alive, its airway may be filled with fluid, and it may be short on oxygen. The calf may be limp and blue with glassy eyes. Quickly feel its chest (behind the front leg, left side) for a heartbeat. These calves can be saved if their air passages are cleared quickly and if you can help them start breathing. Traditionally, such calves were hung or held up by the hind legs. Theoretically, the idea was to use gravity to help drain fluid from the airways. Likewise, some thought swinging the calf by the hind legs would help clear the airways. Neither are considered standard practice today. Hanging a calf upside down or swinging it makes it harder for the calf to breathe because all of the weight of the internal organs puts pressure on the lungs. You might see fluid coming from the calf’s mouth and nose, but it is fluid from the stomach, not the airways. Instead, place the calf in recovery position — upright, resting on the sternum, with head and neck extended forward. This allows maximum airflow to the lungs; both lungs can expand more fully. If you lay the calf on its side, the bottom lung can’t expand. Extending the head forward helps open the airway and allows some of the fluid and mucus from the nostrils to drain out. Calves born backwards If the calf is conscious but not breathing, try are in greater danger tickling the inside of one of its nostrils with a clean because the umbilical piece of hay or straw. cord is often pinched This often causes the calf to cough and take a or broken before the breath.

You can use a very smalldiameter hypodermic needle, such as 20 gauge. Poke the needle into the center of the tip of the nose and give a little twist. If you don’t have a needle, press the spot with a fingernail. Some people use cold water. If the calf is limp and not breathing, they splash a bucket of cold water over the calf’s head, trying to stimulate the calf to shake its head and wake up. It’s like jumping into a cold lake; you gasp. It stimulates natural reflexes to take a breath. If a calf is short of oxygen, unconscious and won’t start breathing, provide artificial respiration. The calf should be on its side with head and neck stretched forward to open the airway so that air will go into the windpipe and not the esophagus. Blow into one nostril, holding the other nostril and the calf’s mouth shut. Apply light pressure with your free hand to the esophagus, just below the larynx, which is a little higher than mid-neck. This helps close the esophagus to ensure you are not filling the stomach with air. Don’t push so hard that you close off the trachea, which is soft cartilage. Giving artificial respiration to a calf can keep it alive and put enough oxygen into its system for revival. Blow in a full breath until you see the chest rise and then let the air escape. Keep breathing for the calf until it begins breathing on its own.

Sifting Genetics AHA’s robust genetic evaluation provides powerful selection tools.

yes of experience are unbeatable for evaluating cattle conformation and structural soundness. However, no one can visually appraise an individual animal and predict its genetic merit for specific traits more reliably than expected progeny differences (EPDs). Genomicenhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) offer the same power with increased accuracy of genetic prediction earlier in an animal’s life. Individual beef breed associations coordinate the genetic evaluations resulting in unique EPDs and GE-EPDs for each breed. Although there are similarities between common traits evaluated in various breeds, there can be subtle differences in the definition, not to mention entirely different traits measured among breeds. The American Hereford Association (AHA) provides EPDs for 17 traits along with three economic selection indexes. AHA’s genetic evaluation uses what’s termed a Marker Effects Model, which calculates EPDs

by incorporating the pedigree, phenotypic and genomic profile of an animal. Animals with a genomic profile receive GE-EPDs, denoted with a GE-EPD logo.

Calving Ease — Direct (CE)

CE EPD is based on calving ease scores and birth weights. This trait is measured as a percentage. CE EPD indicates the influence of the sire on calving ease in females calving at 2 years of age. For example, if sire A has a CE EPD of 6 and sire B has a CE EPD of -2, then you would expect on average, if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would be 8 percent more likely to calve unassisted than those by sire B.

Birth Weight (BW)

BW EPD is an indicator trait for calving ease and is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a BW EPD of 3.6 and sire B has a BW EPD of 0.6, then you would expect on average, if comparably

mated, sire A’s calves would be 3 pounds heavier at birth when compared to sire B’s calves. Larger BW EPDs usually, but not always, indicate more calving difficulty. The figure in parentheses found after each EPD is an accuracy value, which estimates the reliability of the EPD.

Weaning Weight (WW)

WW EPD is an estimate of pre-weaning growth measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a WW EPD of 60 and sire B has a WW EPD of 40, then you would expect on average, if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would weigh 20 pounds heavier at weaning when compared to sire B’s calves.

Yearling Weight (YW)

YW EPD is an estimate of post-weaning growth measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a YW EPD of 100 and sire B has a YW EPD of 70, then you would expect on average, if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would weigh 30 pounds more at 1 year of age when compared to sire B’s calves.

Dry Matter Intake (DMI)

The DMI EPD predicts the daily consumption of pounds of feed. For example, if sire A has a DMI EPD of 1.1 and sire B has a DMI EPD of 0.1, you would expect sire B’s progeny, if comparably mated, to consume on average 1 pound less of feed per day.

estimate. It is related to the bull’s own semen quantity and quality, and it is also associated with age at puberty of sons and daughters. Larger SC EPDs suggest younger age at puberty. Yearling sons of a sire with a 0.7 SC EPD should have yearling scrotal circumference measurements that average 0.7 centimeters larger than progeny by a bull with an EPD of 0.0 centimeters.

Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF)

The AHA’s SCF EPD is a prediction of a cow’s ability to continue to calve from 3 years of age through 12 years of age, given she calved as a 2-year-old. The EPD is a deviation in the proportion of the 10 possible calvings to 12 years old expressed as a probability. For example, the daughters of a bull with a 30 SCF EPD would have the genetic potential to have one more calf by age 12 than the daughters from a bull with a 20 SCF EPD. In other words, the daughters from the 30 SCF EPD bull would have a 10% greater probability of having one more calf than the bull with a 20 SCF EPD. This is equivalent to saying that the daughters are 10% more likely to remain in the herd to age 12.

Maternal Milk (MM)

The MM EPD of a sire’s daughters is expressed in pounds of calf weaned. It predicts the difference in average weaning weights of sires’ daughters’ progeny due to milking ability. Daughters of a sire with a +14 MM EPD should produce progeny with 205-day weights averaging 24 pounds more (as a result of greater milk production) than daughters of a bull with a MM EPD of -10 pounds (14 minus -10 = 24 pounds). This difference in weaning weight is due to total milk production during the entire lactation.

Maternal Milk & Growth (M&G)

The M&G EPD reflects what the sire is expected to transmit to his daughters for a combination of growth genetics through weaning and genetics for milking ability. It is an estimate of the daughter’s progeny weaning weight. A bull with a M&G EPD of 29 pounds is expected to sire daughters with progeny weaning weights averaging 19 pounds heavier than progeny of a bull’s daughters with a M&G EPD of 10 pounds (29 minus 10 = 19 pounds). It is equal to one-half the sire’s WW EPD, plus all of his MM EPD. No accuracy is associated with this since it is a mathematical combination of two other EPDs. It is sometimes referred to as “total maternal” or “combined maternal.”

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE)

MCE EPD predicts how easily a sire’s daughters will calve at 2 years of age and is measured as a percentage. For example, if sire A has a MCE EPD of 7 and sire B has a CE EPD of -3, then you would expect on average, if comparably mated, sire A’s daughters would calve with a 10% more likely chance of being unassisted when compared to sire B’s daughters.

Mature Cow Weight (MCW)

The MCW EPD was designed to help breeders select sires that will either increase or decrease mature cow size in the herd. The trait was developed after years of cow weight data collection and the EPD relates directly to the maintenance requirements Hereford.org

of a cow herd. For example, if sire A has a MCW EPD of 100 and sire B has an EPD of 85, then you would expect the females of sire A, if comparably mated, to be 15 pounds heavier at mature size.

Udder suspension (UDDR)

UDDR EPDs are reported on a 9 (very tight) to 1 (very pendulous) scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters’ udder characteristics when managed in the same environment. For example, if sire A has a UDDR EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a UDDR EPD of -0.1, the difference in the values is 0.5, or one-half of a score. If daughters of sires A and B are raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score better udder suspension in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B.

Marbling (MARB)

MARB EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day marbling score (intramuscular fat, [IMF]) based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Breeding cattle with higher MARB EPDs are expected to produce slaughter progeny with a higher degree of IMF and therefore higher quality grades. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.

Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$)

TEAT EPDs are reported on a 9 (very small) to 1 (very large, balloon shaped) scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters’ udder characteristics when managed in the same environment. For example, if sire A has a teat size EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a teat size EPD of -0.1, the difference in the values is 0.5, or one-half of a score. If daughters of sires A and B are raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score smaller teat size in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B.

The BMI$ is a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Hereford-Angus cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed towards Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB). This index has significant weight on SCF, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on WW, MCW and MM, which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on DMI, but a positive weighting on CW, which is anticipated to provide profitability from finishing of non-replacement females and castrated males. MARB and REA are also positively weighted to keep the harvested progeny successful for CHB. This index is geared to identify Hereford bulls that will be profitable when used in a rotational cross with mature commercial Angus cows.

Carcass Weight (CW)

Brahman Influence Index (BII$)

Teat size (TEAT)

CW EPD is a beneficial trait when considering the impact that pounds have relative to end product value. At the same age-constant endpoint, sires with higher values for carcass weight will add more pounds of hot carcass weight compared to sires with lower values for carcass weight. For example, if sire A has a CW EPD of 84 and sire B has a CW EPD 64, then you would expect the progeny of sire A, if harvested at the same ageconstant endpoint, to have a 20-pound advantage in terms of hot carcass weight.

Rib Fat (FAT)

The FAT EPD reflects differences in adjusted 365-day, 12th-rib fat thickness based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with low, or negative FAT EPDs, are expected to produce leaner progeny than sires with higher EPDs. Ultrasound measures are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.

Ribeye Area (REA)

REA EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day ribeye area measurement based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with relatively higher REA EPDs are expected to produce heavier muscled and higher percentage yielding slaughter progeny than sires with lower REA EPDs. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.

The BII$ is a maternally focused index based on a production system that uses Brahman-Hereford cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed toward a commodity beef market since Certified Hereford Beef does not accept Brahman-influenced cattle. This index has significant weight on SCF, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on WW, MCW and MM, which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on DMI, but a positive weighting on CW, which is anticipated to provide profitability in finishing nonreplacement females and castrated males. MARB and REA are also positively weighted to keep harvested progeny successful for a variety of commodity based programs. This index targets producers who use Hereford bulls on Brahman-influenced cows.

Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$)

CHB$ is a terminal sire index built on a production system where Hereford bulls are mated to mature commercial Angus cows, and all progeny will be targeted for Certified Hereford Beef after the finishing phase. This index has significant weight on CW and MARB to ensure profit on the rail. Gain is weighted positively, while DMI is weighted negatively to ensure efficient pounds of growth in the finishing phase. In addition, there is a positive weighting for REA and the FAT is weighted negatively to maintain desirable yield grades. This is the only AHA index that places no emphasis on fertility. It assumes that no replacement heifers will be retained. January 2022 |

Handle on

HEALTH

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

t has been said that you should work cattle together before you are married so you get the chance to see the “real” person. While there may be some truth to that, it doesn’t have to be that way. Handling cattle can be frustrating at times, but the key to understanding why cattle can be frustrating is to realize we have probably taught them to be that way. If you take one thing away from reading this article, I hope it is that we teach cattle each time we interact with them.

Common cattle handling mistakes

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

alleyway. This is especially true when a Bud Box is used. Bring only enough cattle to fill the alleyway. Get them in, and get them out. The tub, alleyway and squeeze chute are the most stressful areas for cattle as we work them, so it just makes sense to minimize the time each animal must spend in those areas. Plus, it really helps smooth the flow of cattle through the system. A common facility design flaw is using a backstop or “no-back” device at the end of the alleyway,

When handling cattle, try to make it a good experience for them and don’t teach them any bad habits. — Dave Sjeklocha, DVM

Good cattle handling facilities are important, but effective cattle handlers are just as important. Someone who understands cattle behavior can make almost any facility work, while a bad cattle handler can make a wreck of the best-designed facility. In a cow herd situation, it is especially important to focus on cattle behavior and how to respond to it because those cows will be with you for, hopefully, many years. So, when we handle the cowherd: 1) Try to make it a good experience for the cows; 2) Don’t teach the cows any bad habits.

| January 2022

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

right where we are trying to encourage cattle to exit the tub/ Bud Box and enter the alleyway. Cattle are more likely to balk at entering the alleyway when it appears the backstop is blocking their path. Moving the backstop forward one or two animal lengths can improve the flow of cattle into the alleyway. Once they start down the alley, herdmates behind will help continue to move them forward. If moving the backstop forward is not an option, creating a pulley system to pull the backstop out of the way can be very effective.

Break your bad habits

Keep in mind an electric prod is an essential tool for only very specific situations. These situations are rare, and even then, prods should only be used when absolutely necessary. If a worker constantly carries one, it will be overused. Workers must be willing to put the prod down and retrieve it only when necessary. We often see the whole family helping to work cattle on farms and ranches, which is a great opportunity for teaching work ethic, responsibility, integrity — and maybe a little crusty language! I started working cattle with my dad when I was 5 or 6 years old, and I was expected to contribute. My job was to keep the cows moving up the alley to the chute, but Dad didn’t want me to stick my arm in the alley to encourage the cows. So, if I couldn’t get the cattle to move by stepping toward them or walking past them, I was to use the electric prod. Using the prod kept me safe as a youngster, but it wasn’t until I was older that I realized I developed a habit of overuse. Especially when family members and neighbors help work cattle, make sure everyone understands how to move cattle appropriately, as well as when and why to use an electric prod. These are just a few very common and easily overlooked issues I see when cattle are worked. In the book, “The Horse Whisperer,” someone says to the main character, Tom Booker, “I’ve heard you help people with horse problems.” “Truth is, I help horses with people problems,” Booker replies. The same philosophy applies to cattle. Remember, we are constantly teaching cattle how to respond to us. Make sure to teach them the right way to respond. We must break our own bad habits, and we must ensure we are not teaching the cattle any bad habits. Editor’s note: Dave Sjeklocha, DVM, is a technical services veterinarian with Merck Animal Health.

Selection Indexes Increase Profitably Rowan explains how using selection indexes correctly can increase breeder profitability.

“B

reeding goals should be realistic, consistent but flexible, data-driven and profitable,” Troy Rowan, assistant professor of beef cattle genomics at the University of Tennessee, said. He explained the opportunity to increase profitability by using economic selection indexes during his presentation at the 2021 Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Symposium. Multi-trait selection is almost always necessary and multiple traits must work together to produce a profitable herd, according to Rowan. He explained economic selection indexes are the most effective tool for accurate multi-trait selection. Selection indexes allow breeders to select for aggregate economic merit by attaching an economic value to each expected progeny difference (EPD) trait and accounting for genetic correlations. The resulting indexes deliver a single value that directly quantifies profit differences between animals. “Our breeding goals first and foremost need to be grounded in reality and aware of our production environment,” Rowan explained. “Making sure the cattle will work in your production environment with your level of management is above all the most important thing when it comes to realistic breeding goals.”

Hereford selection indexes

The following are economic selection indexes offered by the American Hereford Association (AHA). Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) — This maternally focused index is based on a production system that uses Hereford-Angus crossbred cows. Progeny of these cows are directed toward Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB). This index places significant weight on the Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF) EPD, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. Slight, positive weight is placed on the Weaning Weight (WW), Mature Cow Weight (MCW) and Maternal Milk (MM) EPDs, which account for enough growth but ensures

females do not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on the Dry Matter Intake (DMI) EPD. The Carcass Weight (CW) EPD is weighted positively, which is anticipated to provide profitability from finishing nonreplacement females and castrated males. Marbling (MARB) and Rib-eye Area (REA) EPDs are also positively weighted to keep the harvested progeny successful for Certified Hereford Beef. This index is geared to identify Hereford bulls that will be profitable when used in a rotational cross with mature commercial Angus cows. Brahman Influence Index (BII$) — The BII$ is a maternally focused index based on a production system that uses Brahman-Hereford crossbred cows. Progeny of these cows are directed toward a commodity beef market since Certified Hereford Beef does not accept Brahman-influenced cattle. This index has significant weight on SCF. Like the BMI$ index, there is a slightly positive weight on WW, MCW and MM, which account for growth while limiting increased cow inputs. There is some negative emphasis on DMI, but a positive weighting on CW, which is anticipated to provide profitability in finishing non-replacement females and

castrated males. MARB and REA EPDs are also positively weighted to keep harvested progeny successful for a variety of commodity-based programs. This index targets producers that use Hereford bulls on Brahmaninfluenced cows. Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) — CHB$ is a terminal sire index built on a production system where Hereford bulls are mated to mature commercial Angus cows, and all progeny will be targeted for Certified Hereford Beef after the finishing phase. This index has significant weight on CW and MARB to ensure profit on the rail. Gain is weighted positively, while DMI is weighted negatively to ensure efficient pounds of growth

in the finishing phase. In addition, there is a positive weighting for REA and the Rib Fat (FAT) EPD is weighted negatively to maintain desirable yield grades. This is the only AHA index that places no emphasis on fertility. It assumes that no replacement heifers will be retained.

Beef Grand Challenge USDA project evaluates breed-specific environmental interactions. The USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is in the midst of a novel, comprehensive program to study and increase efficiency and adaptability in beef cattle. More specifically, the Beef Grand Challenge embodies large collaborative projects designed to meet multiple goals to improve production efficiency, reduce environmental impact, encourage sustainable production and optimize whole agricultural systems through integrated research programs. Larry Kuehn, research geneticist at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC), provided an overview during the 2021 Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Symposium.

Project overview

The Beef Grand Challenge is a highly integrated project, involving food animal production, human nutrition, food safety, water availability watershed management, and grass, forage and rangeland agro-ecosystems. The main project is a stocker program to evaluate genotypes in multiple management and environment systems. The project focuses on the progeny of bulls from the four beef breeds with the most registered cattle (Angus, Hereford, Simmental and Charolais) as well as progeny from Brahman composite bulls (Brangus and Beefmaster). These cattle breeds are mated to the base cows from the USMARC Germplasm Evaluation Program (GPE) with the aim of having enough progeny from each breed at each of the five different ARS locations to examine potential differences and interactions between breed, environment and management. “The purpose of the Grand Challenge Project is to have breeds of sires and large sire families evaluated at multiple locations and management systems while utilizing females mated to GPE bulls to achieve this goal,” Kuehn said.

Data collection at every step

A standard set of production efficiency measurements are collected at each location, including monthly weights to estimate stocker gain and finishing gain, feed usage, costs and days on feed. Each location is attempting to keep stocker energy and protein consistent, and all locations target finishing the calves at 1,350 lb. Carcass records are collected for hot carcass weight, marbling, yield, tenderness, color stability and dark cutting. Additional measurements will be collected on a subset of cattle including rumen fluid to look at rumen metagenome differences, cortisol to

estimate stress, fatty acid profiles of the beef to emphasize the positive health benefits of beef, and screening for E. coli, Salmonella and antimicrobial resistant pathogens in fecal and pen surface samples to see if the different management or environments influence the shedding of different pathogens from these calves. Environmental impacts on the range also will be assessed at certain locations by measuring carbon sequestration through soil analysis and monitoring changes in the forage production, quality and plant composition. “The key thing here is the systems are complicated with the interaction between the soil, forage, the animals themselves, and the end product of steaks that people are eventually eating,” Kuehn explained. So far, the Beef Grand Challenge has shipped three years of spring and fall calves to their respective locations, and the fall cows are bred with their fourth set of calves. “We want to increase the use of these integrated systems and management to increase research utility and efficiency in the overall U.S. cow herd,” Kuehn concluded.

A Genomics Bull Buying Guide — The Value of Accuracy Genomic testing increases EPD accuracy and increases producers confidence in young herd sires. By Jamie T. Courter, Ph.D.

s we enter spring bull buying season, producers must arm themselves with information to make educated purchasing decisions. Information here expands on an article in the January 2020 Hereford World that provides selection tips to keep in mind as you flip through sale catalogues searching for bulls. Specifically, here you will find detailed information about one topic — accuracy. Last year’s “A Genomics Bull Buying Guide” article defined expected progeny differences (EPDs), the accuracy of EPDs and the percentile rank. An EPD is an estimate of the genetic merit an animal will pass on to its progeny, on average. EPDs can be used when sorting animals according to their potential to make genetic change within a herd, or when making bull buying decisions. A percentile rank simply reports where the specific EPD for that animal ranks across the entire breed on a scale of 1 to 100 with 1 being the top and 100 the bottom. Traditional EPDs are calculated using individual pedigrees, phenotypes for key traits of interest and progeny information (Figure 1). Seedstock producers are heavily invested in reporting this data. Accuracy, reported on a scale of 0 to 1, is an estimate of the confidence that the EPD provided is the “true” EPD of the animal. As more progeny records and phenotypes on an animal are reported, geneticists inherently know more about that animal. This

Just looking at their Progeny Pedigree respective EPDs, both animals information would be considered calving ease bulls, and could be purchased as such. However, the second image (Figure 3) represents the possible range (95% confidence interval) of the “true” EPDs for both Bull A and Bull B, given their respective accuracies. Notice how much EPD Phenotype smaller the range is for Bull A compared to Bull B.

of the animal and how much risk you’re willing to take. For example, if there are two bulls being considered, one with a Weaning Weight (WW) EPD of +68 lbs (top 5% of the breed) and another with a WW EPD of +58 lbs (top 30% of the breed) and a genomic profile on file, which would you choose? A more risk averse person would likely prefer to purchase the second bull with the lower WW EPD because they are more confident in the certainty of the prediction, while a producer who is willing to accept a bit more risk would see the value in purchasing the first bull understanding that 30 calves at +10 lbs of WW is about 300 pounds of added value, assuming the EPD prediction doesn’t change over time. This is the push and pull of understanding the value of the information available to you and being able to use it as a tool to make more informed decisions. On the other hand, there may be producers reading this article who, like a lot of America right now, are having a hard time finding help for the upcoming spring calving season. Anticipating this issue to continue, going into this bull sale season producers know they will likely be responsible for most, if not all, night checks and any needed calving intervention. What is the value of increased accuracy for a trait like BW or CED? Looking back at Figures 2 and 3, that increased confidence may make all the difference to your bull purchasing decision. In my opinion, a bull with a genomic test is more advantageous than one without because of the large leap in confidence we see in the accuracy (7% to 17%). The true take-home message is to not split hairs over small differences in EPD value, especially as a result of a few progeny records being added to the evaluation on older, proven bulls. As with anything, the values placed on these animals are a tool to help provide insight and expectation to an otherwise unknown outcome. It is up to you to decide what value you place on specific pieces of the puzzle and how much change or risk you’re willing to accept. Editor’s note: Jamie T.

Herefords on the Mountain

Governor Lee and Martha Dixon awarding Tommy and Kim Coley the 2021 Event of the Year award.

Iowa Hereford Tour This past summer, attendees of the annual Iowa Hereford Tour enjoyed a full day of viewing cattle, educational presentations, camaraderie, and food as they traveled central Iowa, where the effects of last summer’s derecho still linger. The first stop of the day was at Pitt Farms near Nevada. John and Marytha Pitt displayed several cow-calf pairs, bred heifers and bulls. The group then went to the Diamond Bar E Genetics facility near State Center, where they were welcomed by Shannon and Cory Eldridge. William Garcia, DVM, for Vytelle, demonstrated how to collect eggs from a donor female and explained the in vitro fertilization (IFV) process. Other stops along the tour included BJK Herefords in Vinton, Schanbacher Family Herefords near Newhall, and TopHill Herefords in Belle Plaine.

Charlie and Darla Moore, H Bar Ranch, discuss the ranch’s breeding program with attendees.

The Kansas Hereford Association (KHA) enjoyed Hereford tours in the western portion of the state. John Adams of XIT-Adams Ranch, south of Meade, explained the history and breeding program to tour participants and guided them on a drive through sets of cow-calf pairs, replacement heifers, yearling bulls and brood mares with colts. Next, Charlie and Darla Moore welcomed the tour crowd to H Bar Ranch southwest of Scott City. Darla explained the history of their breeding program, the philosophy behind what they do and hosted a meal. Lee Mayo and Chase Gleason hosted the next stop at HRC Feed Yards west of Scott City. They explained the data involved with the recent Hereford Fed Steer Shootout program they hosted, and they discussed the advantages and challenges of Hereford cattle in the feedlot. They entertained questions from the tour participants, which led to an educational meeting. Lee and Katie Mayo hosted the final stop on the 2021 KHA Tour at their ranch north of Scott City. Katie explained their breeding program, which uses embryo transfer (ET) and artificial insemination (AI) to create marketable beef cattle. They hosted an evening meal and showed tour guests a set of replacement heifers, cow-calf pairs and donors.

Tommy and Kim Coley hosted the 8th Annual “Hereford on the Mountain” at their home in the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee. This year’s event was attended by more than 230 people from 15 states. This year’s program was the “Political Side of the Cattle Business.” The headline speaker and special guest was Tennessee Governor Bill Lee. Other speakers on the program were: Bryan Blinson, executive director of North Carolina Cattlemen’s Association, Scott Bennett, director of Congressional relations for American Farm Bureau, Jennifer Houston, past president National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, and Lowell Midla, veterinary technical services at Merck Animal Health, who co-sponsored the event. After the program, Hereford breeders enjoyed fellowship and a Certified Hereford Beef® dinner with music provided by Nashville’s Brandi Spradley.

Virginia Hereford Association The Virginia Hereford Association, in partnership with the Virginia Junior Hereford Association, hosted a fitting clinic in conjunction with their Annual Fall Bonanza Sale and Mid-Atlantic Fall Round Up Hereford Show, Nov. 13-14, 2021. Jacob and Garrett Coffey of Coffey Cattle Co. conducted the clinic on Saturday afternoon. The clinic was open to all Virginia Junior Hereford youth. Youth in attendance for the show and sale or those interested in participating also were invited to join. Approximately 30 youth from Virginia and Maryland attended the clinic and learned about daily hair care and show day fitting and preparation. The Virginia Hereford Association is proud to provide opportunities like this for the next generation of Hereford breeders.

Warm Through the Winter Tips for keeping cattle warm in colder weather. By Ted Perry

old weather impacts your cattle, but they can’t stay warm by putting on winter boots, a coat and a hat. They need other ways to keep warm. Winter nutrition and environment management will help maintain a cow’s core body temperature, keeping cows warm from the inside out. If you’re wintering cattle, here are seven tips to keep them warm:

Focus on body condition score

The No. 1 way to reduce cold stress in cattle is to improve body condition score (BCS). Having a good BCS going into winter does two things. First, a cow in BCS 5 or 6 has a layer of fat insulation helping her conserve body heat. Second, cows in good body condition likely have a good diet, which can result in nice, warm winter hair coats.

Deliver more cattle feed

Separate thin cows

Thin cows mixed with the rest of the herd probably won’t get the nutrition they need to maintain or gain body condition. Separate thinner cows — young or old — to help ease feeding pressure. Once separated, make sure cows have plenty of forage and access to cattle mineral and supplements. If you can’t separate thin cows, feed free-choice cattle supplements like a protein tub to give those cows access to feed at all times. Free-choice cattle supplements also provide a less competitive atmosphere than group-feeding protein cubes or hand-fed feeds.

Put up windbreaks

When wintering cattle, it’s important to remember that wind chill affects cattle just like it affects people. Keep cattle out of the wind if possible. You can put up a homemade windbreak, create one out of bales or install a permanent

windbreak. Wooded areas also provide shelter from the wind. When cows don’t have a windbreak, they feel the full effect of the wind, and it will cost them body condition. A drop in body condition score will result in additional feed costs to regain condition.

Provide cattle minerals and supplements

Cattle mineral is vital during cold weather because it impacts a cow’s metabolic process. If cows are short on mineral, their metabolism will slow down. Once metabolism slows, the cow isn’t producing as much heat, and she may start losing body condition score. Providing cattle mineral and supplements can also lead to better forage digestibility. A cow’s rumen microbes have mineral requirements and can also benefit from supplementation. Supplementing ramps up rumen microbes so they can digest more forage. The microbes can also get 25 or 30% more energy out of the forage they’re eating.

Keep a clean environment

lower critical temperature goes up as a result. For instance, if a cow is clean and dry, she may be okay down to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. If a cow is dirty, her lower critical temperature may go up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Give cows plenty of space and move hay rings and feeding stations to limit the creation of muddy areas. The cleaner cows stay, the better insulation their hair will provide.

Break routine We tend to feed cattle on a routine. We put out a set amount of feed per day because we think that’s what the herd should need. But, pay close attention to temperature and watch cattle closely. When you know it will be cold for the next few days, increase the feed offered at least 24 hours in advance to give cows a head start. Feeding cows after the storm is helpful, but the impact is greater when they are fed prior to the storm. Editor’s Note: Ted Perry is a beef cattle technical service manager with Purina Animal Nutrition. This article was provided by Purina Animal Nutrition.

While wintering cattle, the environment tends to be muddy. Mud reduces the insulation factor of a cow’s hair coat, and a cow’s

Make sure cows have enough feed and water. A cow’s feed intake will increase by 20% during cold weather. Before temperatures drop, increase the amount of feed delivered. Provide additional hay or offer 20% more feed in the bunk. Increasing intake will increase the amount of fermentation in

the rumen, and one of the biggest waste products of fermentation is heat. If you provide cows with more energy and get more forage into the rumen, more fermentation happens, and more heat is produced. The process helps keep cows warm from the inside out.

Lost Opportunity New Texas A&M University research aims to reduce cow pregnancy loss.

eproductive inefficiency costs the beef industry billions of dollars every year. Most of the loss is driven by embryonic mortality and pregnancy loss, according to Ky Pohler, chair of the Pregnancy and Developmental Programming Area of Excellence at the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “Beef producers are paid on pounds of a weaned calf or a live calf,” Pohler said. “If there is no calf born, then there is no profit. And the producer’s input costs continue to increase. Our cow-calf operations must get more efficient, or we won’t be able to maintain them.” Pohler is leading a series of studies to evaluate important components to a cow’s developing pregnancy and how much of pregnancy loss is associated with animal physiology versus genetics. Pohler’s project to advance the understanding of embryonic mortality and pregnancy loss in the cow is funded by a $500,000

Agriculture and Food Research Initiative grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. One of the project goals is to provide foundational information on the physiological and molecular mechanisms associated with embryonic survival and mortality in beef cattle.

Gene editing potential

The new grant also allows Pohler’s team to study gene knockouts, utilizing an approach to gene editing known as CRISPR/Cas9 technology. “You basically knock out a single gene and see what happens with the developing embryo,” Pohler explained. “Does the pregnancy develop forward, or does it terminate right there? We’re excited to start using this technology in our projects to really understand pregnancy and developmental programming.” Specifically, Pohler said his team’s research aims to show the impact of a gene family called pregnancy

associated glycoproteins (PAGS). These proteins have been known for years; they are the foundation for blood and milk-based pregnancy testing in cattle. The team will remove those genes one by one to

We know ways to minimize pregnancy loss. But, we don’t know how to eliminate it, because we don’t know what the true causes are. This is an opportunity to understand the causes and then develop management strategies specific to those causes. — Ky Pohler, chair of the Pregnancy and Developmental Programming Area of Excellence at the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences determine if they are important to the developing pregnancy. “We know ways to minimize pregnancy loss. But, we don’t know how to eliminate it, because we don’t know what the true causes are,” Pohler said. “This is an opportunity to understand the causes and then develop management strategies specific to those causes.”

Developing more than a Band-Aid

Pohler emphasizes that pregnancy is the most economically important factor in a cow-calf operation. “All the other things we do are important, but pregnancy is 20 times more financially important than any other production trait,” Pohler said. “If you take it all the way to the consumer level, if you don’t have the pregnancy, you will never realize the potential of that animal to generate a steak for the consumer.” That is why he is concentrating on ending embryonic mortality. Current industry practices intended to minimize pregnancy loss are akin to Band-Aids, according to Pohler. “… I know if I do [one practice], it will help me decrease [pregnancy loss], but it doesn’t help me eliminate it. So, we want to understand what the real mechanisms are and how do you eliminate it.” Pregnancy loss will likely never be completely eliminated, but Pohler said, “We can develop genetic tests. We can develop other types of tools to help minimize that loss. I think what we will be able to do is develop better management

strategies.” One of the other projects Pohler and his team are working on is determining how much contribution to embryonic mortality comes from the bull and how much from the cow.

“We’re studying all sides of it,” Pohler said. “This project is really female focused. But there is a whole opportunity on the bull side as well. And I think understanding both sides is going to be critical. If it ends up being on the bull side and you can develop a genetic test, there are fewer bulls than there are cows. So, you can make a bigger impact in a shorter time. If it ends up being on the cow side, it will take a longer time to make that impact.” Pohler estimated only about 25% of beef producers utilize pregnancy diagnosis in their herds, even though the technology has been around for years. Utilizing pregnancy diagnosis can help determine when an animal loses a pregnancy. With technology and better management practices, producers can be more efficient in generating calves, having animals with better genetics than the previous year, and producing a more uniform calf crop; all of which help make a producer’s beef cattle operation more financially sustainable. “Don’t adopt technology for the sake of adopting technology,” Pohler said. “Use the technology you need to get where you need to go. You have to capture the value on it.” Editor’s note: Adapted from news provided by Texas A&M AgriLife.

Five Steps to Develop and Coach Your Next Generation Introducing a five-part series to kick off 2022. Welcome to the new year! To start 2022, I developed a five-month series to help improve communication, build a strategy for new hires, and work to develop and grow the young (and not-so-young) leaders in your operation. Let’s begin by understanding how to build talent for your farm or ranch with a combination of coaching and mentoring. Have you ever met two siblings and thought, “How could those two be related, when they are so different?” As cattle breeders, we certainly understand the uniqueness of full siblings. It is the same with people; while they may be genetically similar or raised in the same house, they are still unique and different people. Coaching and mentoring are this way, too — related yet unique.

Coaching and mentoring differences 1) Coaching is short term: Coaching usually occurs for a set amount of time, while mentoring may be ongoing for years or even off-and-on throughout an entire lifetime or career. 2) Coaching is performance based: Coaches help build skills, such as how to improve a golf swing or teaching

someone how to clip a heifer. Mentors offer more support and guidance within a personal relationship. 3) Coaching uses a formal process: To achieve results, coaches have processes set up for proven success. Mentoring is often a less structured arrangement that includes conversation and maybe feedback. Mentors also can serve as someone to talk to about problems or aspirations. 4) Coaching relationships are intentional: Coaches work with a person to improve or build a new skill, but their relationship does not have to be based on friendship. Mentoring often occurs naturally when two people connect. Most of us have benefitted from both mentors and coaches at various points in life. Often our first mentors were teachers, an older peer or a boss we really connected with.

Five steps for leadership development It is important for farm and ranch leaders to ensure coaching and mentoring opportunities occur. This is where the fivestep series to develop your next generation comes in. Here is what we will cover:

ULRICH

H E R E F O R D S Specializing in GREAT PERFORMANCE with LIGHT BIRTHWEIGHTS plus REMARKABLE COWS

Step one: strategy — The first step is to start with your reason why. Identify why you do what you do and why you want your business to sustain after your tenure. With strategy, we convert some of the reactionary, tactical-only thinking to uncovering or reconnecting to our purpose. Then, we can begin outlining a vision and strategy that includes a set of goals for this process. Step two: take inventory — The second step is to acknowledge the realistic state of the human assets in your business today and what will be needed. How much real time is being spent identifying critical topics for knowledge transfer and how to do so? We will look at the roles you have now and uncover those that are coming — especially when there is not anyone occupying the post today. Step three: create a culture of coaching — The idea of coaching may be unfamiliar to most people at the farm and even in agribusiness. This step will define coaching and establish steps for intentionally protecting or improving culture. Step four: develop and grow — This section includes a menu of leadership development options

and the instructions for ordering. It also provides examples of situations where each of these may fit best for accomplishing your goals. Developing leaders takes an understanding of customized options, such as: executive coaching; training programs; higher education; certifications; outside influences such as peer groups, boards of advisors, networking; how to gain global experience; and development of advocacy and communications skills. Step five: implementation and accountability — No successful process is complete without implementation. Implementation takes accountability of the leadership and those being developed into leaders. You must build accountability systems, such as performance metrics, personnel reviews, career paths, and you must understand when key employees and family may need to move laterally or upward within the organization to get necessary experience. See you next month as we continue the conversation. Sarah Beth Aubrey is an entrepreneur and founder of Aubrey Coaching and Training (ACT). She can be reached at sarah@sarahbethaubrey.com.

From the Field In Passing Arlo Janssen, 82, Klamath Falls, Ore., passed Nov. 4, 2021. He was born Jan. 8, 1939, to Herschel “Pete” Janssen and Arlo Janssen Marian Craig Janssen. He married Abbie Ryan on March 17, 1967, and they had one daughter, Andra Campbell, on Dec. 15, 1971. Arlo and Abbie divorced in 1973. Arlo was active in sports in high school and received a full-ride scholarship to Kansas State University for basketball. In typical Arlo style, he walked into, and out of, his first classroom the same day. He served in the Army from 1961-63, stationed in Paris. Arlo’s passion was showing cattle, and he hit the trail from his hometown of Lorraine, Kan., where he had a farm and started fitting and showing registered Hereford cattle. He formed Mid-America Cattle Co., a professional fitting and showing service and hauled cattle all over the country. Arlo moved to Darby, Mont., continuing with his fitting service. Arlo exhibited a number of prestigious champions. L1 Pacesetter was the 1983 and 1984 National Western Stock Show (NWSS) grand champion bull and set the pace in the ’80s as the two-time champion and one of the best breeding bulls of all time. L1 Challenger was the 1984 reserve champion at the NWSS, show bull of the year and five-time Roll of Merit (ROM) champion. Arlo exhibited the grand champion bull at five of the nine ROM shows that year. He was named Top Herdsmen during the 1984 stock show. Shifting between Montana, Wyoming and Colorado, Arlo continued showing cattle and spending the summers in the mountains on horseback, which was his other passion. Few people know how much Arlo loved horses and mules. He also loved the mountains, and his wish was to be cremated and his ashes spread in the mountains of Wyoming. Arlo judged several county fairs, state fairs and jackpot shows, including the 1972 National Junior Angus Showmanship Contest in Lexington, Ky.; the Western Junior Livestock Show in Rapid City, S.D., in 1981; the Arizona National in 2004; the Western National Angus Futurity in 1987; and Cow Palace in San Francisco, Calif. In the mid ’90s, Arlo purchased a handful of cows from Green Gardens Angus Farm, which was his dad and brother, Dick’s, operation. Arlo bred most of the cows to TC Stockman and made a run of his own in the registered Angus world, showing TJ Amigo and TJ Poppy to several championship banners. Having now acquired Roll of Victory bull of the year and heifer of the year on his own, he continued showing and fitting cattle for both himself and outside breeders. Arlo spent the last years of his life with his daughter in Klamath Falls, Ore. He is survived by Andra; his brother, Richard “Dick” Janssen; sisters,

Arvo Jo Walker and Joyce Cotton; two grandchildren, Colton Campbell and Caitlin Leslie; and many great friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Rachel Janssen. Lawrence Edward Kuhlmann, 75, North Platte, Neb., passed Nov. 18, 2021. Lawrence was born to Orvil and Ella Lawrence (Richiger) Kuhlmann on Kuhlmann July 22, 1946, in North Platte, where he grew up. Lawrence graduated from North Platte High School with the class of 1964 and then attended Colorado State College in Fort Collins, Colo. During high school, he played American Legion baseball and was active in FFA, where he served as Nebraska state president. He went on to become the first president of the American Junior Hereford Association. The family’s involvement with the Hereford breed continues today with Kuhlmann Ranch. After college, Lawrence returned home and to his lifelong work with Orvil E. Kuhlmann and Sons, Inc., where he was a director and past president. Lawrence also became a partner in K & L Tractor and helped start New Tek Manufacturing and Sunco Farm Equipment. Lawrence served on the NRD board for several years, was a member of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church and was an avid golfer. He was preceded in death by his parents, Orvil and Ella Kuhlmann; sister-in-law, Carol Kuhlmann; and brother-in-law, George Haussler. Lawrence is survived by his wife and longtime partner, Char; stepdaughter, Shayna (Russell) Mavis; and brother, Ernie Kuhlmann, all of North Platte; sisters, Jeanene (Matt) Faw, Arapahoe, Neb., and Rosetta (Doug) Doucet, North Platte; grandchildren, Scarlett and Wyatt; and other family. James Edward Courtney, 90, Alzada, Mont., passed Nov. 19, 2021. Jim was born Oct. 29, 1931, to James M. and Dorothea Jim Courtney (Bischoff) Courtney at the beginning of the Great Depression. Drought, dust and hard times were all he knew during his early childhood. This humble, meager beginning lit a fire within Jim to make everything he was involved in or touched better. Never one to fuss about the negatives of a situation, Jim looked at life through the lens that with hard work and determination, things could be done better and smarter. With only a high school education, Jim was gifted with a vision and determination few possessed to succeed at ranching and raising livestock. His passion was to raise the best sheep and cattle. Otherwise, why put out the effort? He also felt an obligation to belong to organizations that worked to protect the land and championed agriculture. Throughout his life, he

belonged to many county, state and national organizations and was often elected to leadership positions. Jim married Hazel Summers on June 14, 1953. Ranching with sheep and Herefords, the couple were the perfect team and raised their family to know hard work, resiliently endure storms and setbacks, and learn to adapt as they faced challenges. The fifth Courtney generation is now calling the ranch home, continuing to build upon the foundation laid by decades of commitment and perseverance. Jim’s life was a master class in taking modest beginnings forward to a life well lived and passing it on to the next generation. After Hazel passed in 2001, Jim married Della Crago in 2002, and they shared a love for Herefords and ranch life. Della passed in 2012. Alone again, he found companionship with Sondra Giacometto, and they married in 2013. His family marveled at Jim’s ability to “never stop living.” During the past couple years, Jim faced health issues, including heart valve replacement, with a steady resolve to get better, but he never stopped driving to the ranch, going to great-grandkids’ programs and attending community events. He was passionate about living. He lived a full, ambitious and very accomplished life that impacted many. The Courtneys are proud to be his family. Left to miss him are wife, Sondra; daughters: Lezlie (Larry) Moore, Vivian, S.D.; and Colleen Courtney, Belle Fourche; son, Tom (Jody) Courtney, Alzada, Mont.; 13 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; sister, Virginia Ludwick, and her children, Roger and Jo, and their families; Hazel’s brother, Ned (Patsy) Summers and their family. Also saddened by his passing are Della’s and Sondra’s children and their families. Jim was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Hazel; daughter, Jeanne Wombold; a stillborn daughter; second wife, Della; brother-in-law, Bill Ludwick; and Hazel’s sister, Betty, and her husband, Edwin Loken. Clifford Copeland, 89, Amistad, N.M., passed Nov. 24, 2021. Clifford was born on May 1, 1932, in Lubbock, Texas. He Clifford was the firstborn of Jack Copeland and Mary Alice Griggs Copeland. Clifford and Barbara Jean Mullins were married on June 22, 1952, in Ft. Sumner, N.M. He is survived by his wife, Barbara, of more than 69 years; his son, Cliff (Pat) Copeland; grandson, Matt (Alyssa) Copeland; and great-granddaughter, Cally Jo, all of Amistad, N.M. Clifford is also survived by his brother, Ernest (Brenda) Copeland, Santa Rosa N.M.; his sister, Patricia Ritch, Clovis, N.M.; his sister-in-law, Barbara Jean Copeland, Clovis; and nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Otis Copeland; his brother-inlaw, Hugh Ritch; and nephews.

His family moved to Dumas, Texas, when Clifford was about 4 years old. His father, Jack, worked at the Shamrock Refinery and later opened a Drug Store in Dumas. Jack also started a small herd of Hereford cattle. Riding several miles on horseback to look after those Herefords became Clifford’s job at age 7 or 8. Thus, his love of Hereford cattle began and continued when his dad and grandad established the Copeland Ranch six miles south of Amistad in 1943. Clifford told of how happy he was to live on a real ranch. At 9 years old, he began doing chores, such as milking the cows, feeding the livestock and so on before and after riding the school bus to Amistad. He also joined the Amistad TNT 4-H Club, which would form a great deal of his life. He showed his first 4-H calf at the New Mexico State Fair in 1945 and never missed another State Fair until the 1990s. During that time, he not only showed cattle, but also won practically all the awards New Mexico had to offer in the 4-H program. He made several trips (by train) to Chicago to the National 4-H Convention. Clifford was honored by being asked to address the Saddle and Sirloin Club where, in his speech, he told the audience, “New Mexico is as big as Texas, just not rolled out as thin.” He also won the prestigious award of being one of four 4-Hers in the state to go to Washington D.C. and New York City. Clifford was a quality person all of his life — a sweet and loving son, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He cared deeply for his family, his church and his Hereford cattle. He was always for his Amistad community, and among other things was instrumental in forming the Amistad-Hayden Fire Dept. He called the meeting of the community, which met in the Historic Amistad United Methodist Church basement, 41 years ago. He was the first Fire Chief and served as Chief for several years. He was also among those who fought for the Amistad School for more than 30 years when the district was trying to shut it down, and he joined the fight to keep the Amistad post office open. He was a lifelong member of the American Hereford Association (AHA), a member of the New Mexico Hereford Association, New Mexico Cattle Grower’s Association and the Amistad United Methodist Church. He served as the secretary of the Union County Fair Board for many years. Clifford and Barbara were longtime advisors for the New Mexico Junior Hereford Association and the New Mexico Junior Cattle Grower’s Association. Clifford and Barbara were honored to receive the Buck Ramsey Award from the Nara Visa Cowboy Gathering. The couple was also inducted into the AHA Hall of Fame, recognizing a lifetime achievement in the Hereford industry. He was a loyal and faithful friend to his neighbors, most of whom have preceded him in “going home,” as well as those who remain. Hereford.org
