MANAGEMENT

Cow Power Hereford-sired F1 females shine in the real world.

by Wes Ishmael

H

igher pregnancy rates, heavier weaning weights, more fleshing ability and increased cow longevity. Anton Hermes of Hermes Livestock says those are all advantages of running Hereford-sired F1 baldy females.

Hermes Livestock, located in semiarid eastern Colorado, is a diverse operation with multiple enterprises within the cattle business. They have a commercial cow herd, run stockers and develop heifers for themselves and others, and the operation also breeds mature cows for customers.

Harnessing maternal heterosis by building Hereford-sired F1 baldies is central to all they do for themselves and their customers. However, they also produce some commercial Angus and Red Angus replacement heifers.

Breeding efficiency

“It’s no secret that everyone wants a baldy female,” Hermes says, sharing data substantiating the preference.

He analyzed data from 3,700 replacement heifers they developed for themselves and customers over the past four years: 970 black baldies, 735 red baldies, 1,120 Angus and 883 Red Angus.

These heifers were AI-bred with conventional (non-sexed) semen in May, followed by clean-up bulls for 55 days, running on grass.

They were pregnancy-checked via ultrasound in September.

| January 2025

Red or black, Hereford-sired baldies provide Hermes Livestock and its customers added reproductivity and production efficiency.

All told, 64% of the F1 black baldy heifers bred in the first 35 days, which was 9% more than the Angus heifers; 12% more than the Red Angus heifers (see Figure 1).

The F1 red baldies widened the gap further with 69% of them bred in the first 35 days, compared to 55% of the Angus heifers and 52% of the Red Angus heifers.

Hermes points out the purebred breeding performance was strong but fell short of the F1 heifers.

“When you look at what we’re getting with heterosis in heifers developed exactly the same way

— same age and same maturity — 9-12% more baldy females bred in the first cycle,” he says.

Next, Hermes analyzed four years of data from four commercial cow-calf herds, including his own, comprising a total of about 2,900 mature cows (see Figure 2).

For cows aged 3 to 5 years, 2% more of the F1s bred in the first 35 days than their same-aged purebred contemporaries with 2% fewer opens and 4% more scoring at least a body condition score (BCS) 5.5 when pregnancy-checked in October-November.

Hereford.org

F1 longevity shone even brighter among the cows aged 6 to 9 — 7% more bred in the first 35 days than their same aged purebred contemporaries with 1% fewer opens and 8% more scoring at least a BCS 5.5 when pregnancy-checked in October-November.

“As the baldy cows mature, they have less fallout, more bred in the first 35 days and a substantially lower cull rate,” Hermes says.

All of this is why Hermes Livestock started using Hereford bulls again 12 years ago, following a lengthy hiatus when they trended toward staightbred Angus cows. He explains they lost productivity in their cow herd during this period.

“When we went back to Hereford, making these baldy cattle is improving our cow herd and making our replacement females more marketable than they ever were when they were straight blacks or reds,” Hermes says.

“Moving baldy heifers in the fall for another $100-$200 as a bred heifer is common.”

MANAGEMENT

Regenerative RANCHING

| by Hugh Aljoe

IsRegenerative There RANCHING a Regenerative Cow? It’s more about the ‘how,’ but these are traits to consider.

Regenerative RANCHING ‘R egenerative’ is a description of the type of grazing management and land stewardship applied to a grazing land resource to rebuild and optimize soil health. These management decisions are guided by the six soil health principles (see Six Principles of Soil Health), including properly integrating livestock.

That’s why we look at cattle and how they are grazed or raised as tools of regenerative management. It’s not the cow as much as the how. With that said, we can develop a list of desirable attributes and expectations of cows which can perform successfully as reproductive females in a regenerative ranching operation.

Be aware that the type of cow that performs well at a regenerative ranch in one location may perform poorly at another location. It is also likely that different types of cows can perform equally well within the same locale under different regeneratively managed operations. It is all about the cow fitting the context of any given regenerative ranch.

Generally, a regeneratively managed cow is moderate or optimal — not excessive — in most traits, which helps increase profit per acre.

Six desirable cow attributes for regenerative ranches

The following are some key attributes, considerations and expectations for cows under regenerative management.

No. 1 - She fits her environment. Cows that best fit the environment of your ranch, whether natural or managementinduced, do better at maintaining body condition and rebreeding, therefore remaining in your system longer.

In regenerative management, grazing management typically includes high stock density grazing. The herd is moved

12

| January 2025

frequently; pastures are grazed for short periods and allowed to recover fully before being grazed again. Look for and retain cows that easily conform to this adaptive grazing method and respond well to human stockmanship. In addition, be mindful of the need to calve and breed in alignment with peak forage production to be more synchronized with nature and to optimize grazing nutrition.

No. 2 - She is moderate in size. The universal limiting factor for a ranch’s livestock carrying capacity is the amount of forage that can be produced. However, by selecting for smaller-framed cattle, producers can run more cows that each needs less maintenance while weaning more pounds of calves per acre.

A mature cow will consume about 2.6-3% of her body weight daily if forage is readily available. Therefore, a smaller, lighter-weight mature cow will require fewer nutrients to maintain her body condition score. That’s why cows with a frame score of 3 to 4 (1,000 to 1,200 pounds) are considered more desirable in a regenerative system than those with frame scores of 6 or greater.

With a more moderate-framed cow eating less forage daily than a large-framed cow, you can stock more moderate-framed cows on the same number of acres, calve more offspring and should be able to wean more total pounds of calves per acre. Going too small can have consequences,

such as calves not meeting industry carcass-size expectations or mismatched sire selection causing calving issues.

No. 3 - She is efficient. For a cow to be considered efficient, she should be efficient in the areas of forage intake, production and reproduction longevity.

Generally, a crossbred cow that is smallor moderate-framed and possesses average milking ability is more likely to be more efficient than a larger-framed cow.

As a smaller- or moderate-framed cow, she is reproductively efficient. Since she usually will consume less forage than a larger cow, she enables a ranch to run more smaller-framed cows on the same grazeable acres, with each cow potentially producing a weaned calf. That adds up to more calves to market and more pounds weaned per acre.

Hereford.org

A smaller-framed cow is more likely to wean calves at a greater proportion of her body weight than average-sized cows under similar management (i.e., a 1,100pound cow is more likely to wean more than 50% of her body weight than a 1,300-pound cow), which again translates to more pounds weaned per acre.

Remember that pounds of calf produced per grazing acre and net margin per acre for the cow-calf enterprise are highly correlated only if supplemental and substitute feed costs are well-managed. So don’t feed your way to greater weaning weights.

No. 4 - She rebreeds annually and in the desired season. Like all cows in a managed ranching system, regeneratively managed cows need to breed every year in a defined calving season, or they are not reproductively efficient and should be removed from the herd. Preferably, the cow breeds during the first month of the breeding season, leading to a calf born early in the calving season. This gives her ample time to rebreed the following season and increases her longevity and productive life in the herd, in addition to weaning a heavier calf.

Although not required, it’s best to time the breeding season of a regeneratively managed cow to be during the peak season of the ranch’s forage supply. This means breeding later in the summer in most regions, which may create concerns such as having bulls working during summer heat. However, in regenerative management operations, the bulls must fit the system as well; if they won’t work during the summer, get bulls that will.

Help the cow and reduce your feed expenses by calving and breeding during your peak forage production season.

Weaning weights may be lighter, but gross margin is usually much greater.

No. 5 - She has moderate milking ability.

Moderation or optimization should be the goal for the milking ability of a regeneratively managed cow so your pastures can meet the nutrient demands for lactation. Heavy-milking cows are higher-maintenance cows and tend to have difficulty recovering their body condition score after calving, which can lead to late rebreeding or staying open. So, know the milking ability and expected progeny difference (EPD) Hereford.org

averages for the breed(s) and lines you are using and select genetics to avoid high milking EPDs when possible.

No. 6 - Optimally, she will be crossbred to utilize heterosis. Crossbred cows, in general, can have advantages over straightbred cows in regenerative operations. Most of these advantages are due to the hybrid vigor or heterosis the crossbred cow will exhibit. Examples of advantages include greater reproductive efficiency, greater feed efficiency (and hustling ability), heavier calves, improved health or immunity and increased longevity. Some of these benefits are passed on to the calf, including increased weaning weight, improved feed efficiency, improved rate of gain and improved health/immunity, all of which will enhance the economic efficiency of the cow-calf enterprise.

For optimal results, crossbreeding should be intentional, with consideration given to breed complementarity, maternal heterosis and milking ability (moderate milk EPDs, if possible), especially if raising your own females. Consideration should also be given to individual heterosis of calves on calving ease/birth weights followed by growth and performance traits (i.e., weights tend to increase and performance improves with crossbreeding).

Setting and meeting your ranching goals

Perhaps not all ranchers want to manage their cows in a regenerative manner, but we hope most will aspire to rebuild or rejuvenate the grazing lands where their cows spend their productive lives.

For ranchers who are intentional land stewards and cattle producers, raising and selecting cows that fit the characteristics of a regeneratively-managed cow is a smart goal. Aim for a cow that is well adapted to the environment and management system she is required to work within. Ideally, she is a cow that will get rebred early every year with minimal feeding, stay in the herd longer than expected, consume less forage than expected and raise a healthier, bigger calf than the average cow under regenerative management.

Remember, the term ‘regenerative’ applies to the management of the grazing lands, not the cattle themselves.

Regardless, a productive, efficient cow

Six Core Principles of Soil Health 1. Know your context. Apply the remaining five principles in accordance with your operation, climate, geography, resources, skills and goals. One size does not fit all.

2. Cover the soil. Avoid bare ground.

Cover crops, managed grazing and trampled residues manage the sun’s access to the soil, help retain moisture and prevent erosion.

3. Minimize soil disturbance. Tilling, fire, grazing and fertilizer interrupt the biological activity and/or structure of the soil. Use these tools only as needed to allow the life in the soil to function as intended.

4. Increase diversity. The soil benefits from differing interactions of plants and animals. Greater plant diversity increases pollinators, wildlife and the opportunity for soil health.

5. Maintain continuous living roots.

Plodding in Place Herd expansion remains elusive.

by Wes Ishmael

MARKETS

C

alf and feeder cattle prices near the relative height of Mt. Everest help explain why cow-calf producers must think at least twice before holding back more heifers. The fact that price isn’t profit likely explains most of the rest.

James Mitchell, Extension livestock economist at the University of Arkansas, provided perspective in an early-December issue of Cattle Market Notes Weekly, sharing estimated cow-calf returns over cash costs provided by the Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC).

“According to LMIC estimates, returns are projected at $622 per cow in 2024, making it the most profitable year on a nominal basis … surpassing the $534 per cow recorded in 2014,” Mitchell explains (see Figure 1). “However, comparisons Figure 1 are more meaningful when adjusted for inflation. When 2014 returns are converted to 2024 dollars, they equal $707 per cow, exceeding 2024 returns by $86 per cow.”

Likewise, Glynn Tonsor, agricultural economist at Kansas State University, says, “While market-reported dollar-per-cow returns in 2024 are slated to be attractive for many producers, when put on an inflation-adjusted basis, they have yet to exceed the memorable year of 2014.

Moreover, Tonsor says expansion might be less enticing when folks move beyond dollars per cow and consider the percentage return on investment, reflecting the added capital necessary to operate.

“While, on balance, I do envision heifer retention will occur nationally, starting in 2026 at the earliest, there indeed are multiple reasons ‘typical’ producers are being rational in not yet pulling the herd expansion trigger,” Tonsor explains in a late-October issue of In the Cattle Markets. “Implications clearly follow for calf crop size and industry capacity utilization discussions.”

Long-range inventory and price projections also point to peak cattle prices in approximately 2026 (see Peak Cattle Price Expectations).

Considering forage and lag time

Beyond profit, Mitchell explains herd expansion also requires pasture and patience.

One way to quantify pasture, Mitchell says, is looking at hay production, stocks and prices (see Figure 2).

“In 2024, hay production totaled 129 million tons, and May hay stocks reached 21 million tons. Combined hay supplies

Figure 2

| January 2025

Hereford.org

are at their highest levels since 2017. Notably, several years of increased hay production preceded the start of both the 2004–2014 and 2014–present cattle cycles,” Mitchell says.

As for patience, Mitchell refers to the biological lag inherent in cattle production.

While market-reported dollar-percow returns in 2024 are slated to be attractive for many producers, when put on an inflation-adjusted basis, they have yet to exceed the memorable year of 2014.

— Glynn Tonsor, Kansas State University “An early indicator of this lag is beef cow and heifer slaughter, which reflect culling and heifer retention, respectively,” Mitchell says. “Beef cow slaughter is down 18% (first week of December), while heifer slaughter has declined just 1.5% compared to 2023. Both are expected to finish near these levels with only a few weeks remaining in 2024.”

However, Mitchell adds slaughter rates relative to available supplies provide a clearer picture of reality.

“When viewed in this context, it becomes evident that the current slaughter rate has not yet reached a level signaling an increase in beef cow inventories,” Mitchell says. “For example, in 2023 we slaughtered 12% of the beef cows that were available to slaughter as of Jan. 1 (implied cull rate). In 2024, it looks like we will slaughter 10% of available beef cows. While this is an improvement, it still is not a low enough cull rate to signal an increase in beef cow numbers.”

Likewise, Derrell Peel, Extension livestock marketing specialist at Oklahoma State University, explained in his

Figure 3 Hereford.org

Peak Cattle Price Expectations Broadly speaking, nominal cattle prices will not reach their zenith until heifer retention further constrains supplies. Other than anecdotal examples in localized markets, there is, so far, little indication of herd expansion (see Plodding in Place).

Although varying in degree, 10-year projections from the USDA and updated five-year projections from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri forecast peak feeder cattle prices in 2025-26.

Keep in mind these projections are not intended to forecast specific prices but to indicate trend, along with comparative strength or weakness.

FAPRI projects the U.S. beef cow herd declining to 28 million at the beginning of 2025 and then growing slowly to 29.5 million in 2029.

FAPRI forecasts feeder steer prices (600-650 pounds, Oklahoma City) at an average of $283.70 per hundredweight (cwt.) in 2024, rising to $289.65 in 2025 and then declining to $260.77 in 2029.

FAPRI projects the five-area direct average fed steer price at $187.95 in 2024, rising to $191.52 in 2025 and then declining to $260.77 in 2029.

Similarly, USDA’s early-release Baseline Projections to 2034 forecast the beef cow herd declining to 27.8 million in 2026, then growing to 30.6 million in 2031 before declining again.

USDA projects Oklahoma City feeder steer prices (750-800 pounds) to average $258.75 per cwt. in 2025 and then peak at $267.26 in 2026 before declining to $189.80 in 2031.

USDA forecasts the weighted average five-area direct fed steer price at $186.50 per cwt. in 2025 and then peaking at $196.49 in 2026 before declining to $150.65 in 2031.

Incidentally, projected corn prices for 2025-26 to 2029-30 range between $4.09 to $4.13 per bushel in the FAPRI forecast. The range is $3.90 and $4.30 per bushel in the USDA projections.

Increased supplies, a strong dollar and several other factors have caused prices for many agricultural commodities to fall sharply from their 2022 peak levels, according to the FAPRI update.

“In the absence of new shocks to the weather, the macroeconomy or policy, projected prices generally remain near current levels over the next five years,” according to FAPRI. “The cattle sector is the most important exception to the pattern of declining commodity prices. Past years of drought and low returns have resulted in a smaller U.S. beef cow herd, reducing beef production and pushing up prices for feeder and slaughter animals.”

For broader perspective, FAPRI sees domestic gross domestic product (GDP) ranging from 1.6% to 1.8% from 2025 to 2029. USDA projects the range at 1.7% to 2.1% during the same period.

late-November market comments the percentage of heifers comprising the mix of total cattle slaughter this year will likely be the highest since 2004.

“Heifer retention usually lags changes in cow culling,” Peel says. “Herd expansion results in decreased heifer slaughter rates, similar to the 1991-1996 and the 20142017 periods. Current heifer slaughter rates suggest that the beef cow herd has continued to decrease in 2024 and that prospects for herd expansion in 2025 are very limited.”

More specifically, Mitchell expects the beef cow herd inventory at the start of 2025 to be about 1% fewer than the 28.2 million head that began 2024, which was the smallest beef cow herd since 1961 (see Figure 3).

Sale Ring Aaron Friedt, American Hereford Association field representative, attended many of the late summer and fall Hereford and Herefordinfluenced calf and feeder cattle auctions in the Northern and Central Plains. His commentary below provides insight to markets during that period, as well as the growing demand for Hereford genetics. AHA field representative, Cord Weinheimer, attended the sale at Cherokee Sales Co. in Oklahoma and provides those details.

MARKETS

Winter weather doesn’t cool bald-faced demand.

by Aaron Friedt

T

he weather has turned colder, the snow has started to fly but the sale ring remains hot for Hereford and Hereford-influenced feeder cattle and replacement heifers.

As I look back on these Herefordinfluence sales, it’s hard not to smile at Hereford’s success. Despite cattlemen over large swaths of the Midwest battling late summer drought and fires, the feeder calf market has been a point of optimism.

After summer video sales saw record prices, the futures market took a slight breather due to world political issues in August and September, but cash remained steady. Futures rallied into the fall run through November and December, and we regained much of the lost ground while the cash market continued to rocket to new levels.

Summer-fall Hereford-influence sales began in August with two yearling sales in western South Dakota — the first in Lemmon on Aug. 4, and the second in Faith on Aug. 19. Lemmon Livestock changed hands this past year, and new owners Rowdy Benson and Brady Hamm have been aggressively rounding up consignments and soliciting new buyers. We saw 825-850 weight steers average $252.27 per hundredweight (cwt.), and 850-900 weight steers average $238.87 per cwt. A lighter run of heifers sold well, and we sold 291 head of Hereford-influence cattle (see Sale Summaries).

Dace Harper and his crew in Faith had a big day on Aug. 19. Faith has always been a bastion of Hereford loyalty, and that tradition continues.

Seventy Hereford steers averaging

26

| January 2025

787 pounds brought an average of $260.75 per cwt., dollaring up at $2,070.36 per head. Sixteen head of black whiteface steers weighing an average of 888 pounds sold for $254 per cwt., bringing $2,255.52 per head. Ranchers brought 444 head of Hereford-influenced yearlings that day, with many more groups of cattle selling. Straight runs of baldies sold even with the market or at a premium to the black cattle, while the straight Herefords were $5-$10 per cwt. back.

On Oct. 21, once again in Faith, S.D., we had our first glimpse of what the fall feeder calf market was going to do. During that sale 2,169 head of Hereford-influenced cattle came through the sale ring — a large portion of the sale that day. Keith Carmichael and family brought all their baldy steers to town straight off the cow, and they were the highlight of the day. Eighty-nine black whiteface steers weighing an average of 598 pounds brought $313.00 per cwt., or $1,870.96 a head. Their 116 head of lighter baldies weighed an average of 513 pounds and commanded a price of $350.00 per cwt., bringing $1,795.00 per head.

Keith wanted me to mention that they sold for $60 a head more than their all-black brothers that weighed the same. The baldy advantage is real.

I was in Marysville, Kan., on Nov. 21 for another Hereford sale. We had a light run of 175 head that day, but the cattle sold well and were even at the market with the rest of the cattle selling that day, with a majority being straight Hereford. Springhill Herefords brought the big load, with 50 straight Hereford steers that

weighed an average of 678 pounds and sold for $271.50 per cwt., bringing $1,840.77 per head.

I drove north to Burwell, Neb., that night for the Nov. 22 Nebraska Hereford Association’s Feeder Calf Special. Burwell was wild, with five separate order buyers in attendance looking for straight Hereford cattle. Other bidders participated aggressively, and some went home empty handed. We sold 580 head of Hereford-influenced cattle that day, and I saw the Herefords command a higher price than their baldy and straight black contemporaries. This was one of the first sales this fall where a 600-700-pound steer brought more than $2,000 a head — a number that continues to rise. Tracy Sachtjen sold 16 Hereford steers that weighed an average of 689 pounds for $306 per cwt.; they dollared up at $2,108.34 per head. I looked awful hard at barn reports following this sale and failed to find a similarweight steer that commanded a higher price. Huwaldt Herefords also had a successful day, selling 37 Hereford steers weighing an average of 722 pounds for $280 per cwt., bringing $2,021.60 per head.

I was unable to attend a few Hereford-influence sales because of scheduling conflicts, but there were some notable lots I want to share.

In Faith, S.D., on Oct. 14, Doug Beer sold 81 black whiteface heifer calves weighing an average of 516 pounds for $346 per cwt., totaling $1,785.36 per head. There were also many mixed lots of black/black whiteface steers and heifers that sold well that day.

In Aberdeen, S.D., on Oct. 14, 255 head of straight Hereford steers sold in four lots, weighing an average of 1,015 pounds and selling for $240 per cwt., which totaled $2,436 a head.

Changing pace, I attended Lemmon Livestock’s Thanksgiving Bred Special, which showcased 351 head of Hereford-influenced bred cattle. Katus Ranch brought in a big string of black whiteface heifers AIed for mid-March calves. Those 93 heifers sold for $3,550 per head.

Malcom Ranch brought 30 head of black whiteface coming 4-year-old cows, which sold for $3,325 per head.

These lots topped the sale for their respective age groups. Prices like these on the bred cattle speak to the fact that ranchers are optimistic about the cattle market and that we are severely lacking numbers of breeding cattle. I believe the herd rebuild is starting, but it will be at a slower pace than we saw in 2014-2015.

Looking ahead

Watch for reports from the Minnesota Hereford Association’s Feeder Calf Special in Pipestone, Minn., on Dec. 12, and another special in Ogallala, Neb., on Jan. 2, in the February issue of Baldy Advantage.

If you had told me when I was 20 years old that I would see straight Hereford steers selling at the market price of black-hided peers or even $5-10 per cwt. back, I’d have called you crazy, yet here we are. Hereford breeders must remember it is easy to find success in a bull market. With the herd rebuild just starting, feeders are competing over smaller numbers of cattle. Order buyers aren’t cutting out single steers for short ears or extra white nearly as much as in the past.

I suspect this will continue as long as we are lacking in numbers.

As Hereford breeders, we need to stick to our guns, producing cattle that have long backs and stout tops and stand on a heavy hoof and bone.

Structure is very important. There

is an abundance of cheap feed and packers are continuing to try to make up the shortfall in numbers by looking for heavier fed cattle weights. These are all traits commercial cattlemen look to the Hereford breed to provide.

In my travels, I’ve heard more than one feeder tell me they love to feed a Hereford, but they must be good. While we’ve made breed-wide strides to increase ribeye size and marbling, while keeping backfat in check, we still have work to do. If we don’t single-trait select and keep our carcass traits and phenotype in balance, I truly believe the Hereford breed will continue to increase in popularity and use.

I’ll be on the sale trail headed to bull sales and a couple more feeder calf sales over the next few months and would love to visit with you when I see you. Until then — it’s a great day to be a cowboy. continued on page 28...

Black Whiteface Females Top the SW MO Show-Me-Select Heifer Sale The SW MO Show-Me-Select™ Replacement Heifer Program brought a strong sale and record prices to the Joplin Regional Stockyards, Joplin, Mo., on Nov. 15, according to Patrick Davis, University of Missouri Extension livestock field specialist. Eight consigners offered 112 heifers for an average price of $3,205 per heifer. This sale average was $299 higher per heifer than the fall 2023 sale with an additional 27 heifers sold.

“In their second sale Storie Farms of Conway, Mo., had the highest selling lot of four heifers that brought $4,500 per heifer,” Davis says.

This record-selling lot featured black whiteface heifers. Storie Farms also was the largest consigner, bringing 42 head, which sold for the second highest consigner average of $3,428 per heifer. Longtime consigner, Mast Farms, Lamar, Mo., had the highest consigner average — marketing 12 heifers for an average price of $3,450 per heifer.

Market Tracks Cattle prices press higher.

by Wes Ishmael

I

MARKETS

mproving winter grazing prospects fueled by late-fall rains and declining cattle numbers helped strengthen calf prices in November and December.

Bidding at Ogallala Livestock Auction, Ogallala, Neb., Dec. 5 provided a powerful illustration with light 3-weight steers bringing more than $500 per hundredweight (cwt.).

Regionally, steers weighing 600-700 pounds traded $43-46 per cwt. higher year over year in the South Central and North Central regions, respectively, for the week ending Nov. 30, according to the National Weekly Feeder & Stocker Cattle Summary. Prices were $28 higher in the Southeast (see Table 1).

“Weekly cattle prices have rebounded from September’s relative lows to establish new highs for October and November,” according to analysts with USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS), in the November Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook. “They are forecast to continue elevated through 2025, reflecting recent price data and changes to the timing of cattle placements and marketings.”

Compared to the previous month’s projections, ERS projected feeder steer prices (750-800 pounds, Oklahoma City) $1 higher in the fourth quarter of 2024 at $254 per cwt. for an annual average price of $250.84, which was 25 cents more than the previous month’s estimate.

For 2025, ERS left projected feeder steer prices steady in the first quarter at $248. Forecast prices increased $3 in the second quarter to $257 but decreased $3 in the third quarter to $260 for an annual average price of $258, which was 75 cents less than the prior month’s estimate.

Temporary suspension of live cattle imports from Mexico to the United States beginning in late November due to discovery of New World Screwworm in the southern Mexico state of Chiapas provided added support to Feeder Cattle futures at the time.

| January 2025

Consumer demand underpins fed cattle demand

Despite beef production on par with the previous year, five-area direct weighted average FOB live steer prices the first week of December were $15.52 per cwt. higher year over year.

Similarly, ERS raised the expected five-area direct fed steer price for the remainder of 2024 and 2025, in the November World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE). That was based on recent prices and the continued strength in beef demand.

Forecast five-area direct fed steer prices increased $2 in the fourth quarter of last year to $188 per cwt. with 2024’s annual average price up 50 cents at $186.68. The ERS projected prices in the first three quarters of 2025 $1 higher at $188, $187 and $186, respectively. The forecast 2025 average price also rose $1 to $188.

Choice wholesale beef value the first week of December was $12.99 per cwt. more year over year, underscoring strong consumer beef demand.

For production perspective, year-to-date total cattle slaughter of 29.8 million head the last week of November was 3.6% less year over year, while year-to-date estimated beef production of 24.5 billion pounds was just 0.5% less.

Feedlots keep pulling available cattle forward, as evidenced by monthly feedlot placements that continue to be more than expected. For instance, feedlots with 1,000 head or more capacity placed 2.3 million head in October, which was 116,000 head more (+5.3%) than 2023 and about 2% more than expectations ahead of the report. Cattle on feed Nov. 1 of 11.99 million head were slightly more year over year.

Compared to the previous month, ERS increased projected beef production for 2024 by 25 million pounds to 27.02 billion pounds in the November WASDE.

Beef production increased with higher dressed weights and cow slaughter more than offsetting lower expected steer and heifer slaughter.

Forecast beef production for 2025 of 26.3 billion pounds was 355 million pounds more (+1.4%) than the previous month’s estimate. It would be 745 million pounds less (-2.8%) than 2024’s projected production. Estimated beef production rose on heavier expected dressed weights and higher expected steer and heifer slaughter, partially stemming from higherthan-previously-expected placements during the second half of 2024.

U.S. beef exports track higher

U.S. beef exports continue adding market price support.

October beef exports totaled 105,269 metric tons (mt) in October, up 1% from a year earlier, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF).

Value increased 3% to $860.4 million.

For January through October 2024, beef export value was 4% above 2023 at $8.68 billion, despite a 2% decline in volume (1.066 million mt).

“It’s encouraging to see an uptick in demand for U.S. beef in China and Korea, where the economic headwinds have been formidable this year,” says USMEF president and CEO Dan Halstrom. “Our Western Hemisphere markets have been outstanding, and exports have also expanded to the ASEAN region. So, if U.S. beef can regain momentum in these larger Asian destinations, this bodes well for 2025.”

Beef exports to China/Hong Kong totaled 20,493 mt in October, up 16% from a year ago and the largest since June 2023. Export value climbed 17% to $190.6 million, also the highest since June 2023.

October 2024 beef exports to Korea — the leading value destination for U.S. beef — were the largest since April at 19,638 mt, up 5% from a year ago, while value climbed 10% to $191.7 million — the highest since March.

Beef export value equated to $380.98 per head of fed slaughter in October, down 2% from a year ago.

The January-October 2024 average was $411.03, up 4%.

Trade and Taxes

Agricultural interest groups look at their initiatives for the new year and new administration.

by Katie Maupin Miller

T

ISSUES

axes and trade top the list of agricultural lobbyist groups as the new administration takes office. With a Republican majority led by President-elect Donald Trump stepping onto Capitol Hill this month after an election cycle filled with talks of trade and immigration, producers speculate how this incoming administration may affect agricultural policy. While cattlemen have already experienced a Trump presidency and its impacts on agricultural policy, the landscape in Washington, D.C., looks a little different.

The Supreme Court’s strike down of the Chevron deference last summer leaves questions about the authority of federal agencies. Previously, the Chevron doctrine, established in 1984, had deferred the courts to federal agencies’ reasonable interpretations of ambiguous laws. With this decision rolled back, the power of interpretation now lies with the courts rather than with the agencies, and this will make it tougher for the new administration to enact change through government regulations set by Congress, as any new regulation could be subject to litigation for interpretation.

“It creates a much more complex environment for this new administration to really make substantive change,” says Ethan Lane, vice president of government affairs at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA).

With this added layer of complexity, President-elect Trump is expected to roll out more than 100 executive orders early in his presidency to enact swift change to policies for which he campaigned upon, from immigration to trade.

| January 2025

While this may be welcome news to some producers who have been frustrated with the seemingly gridlocked Congress that appears to have stymied progress over the last four years, Lane notes that the government wasn’t designed to be quick-moving.

“I try to remind people that gridlock in Washington is a product feature of the system. You don’t necessarily want Washington to be too efficient,” he says. “The writers of the Constitution did not want this town to be a well-oiled machine that pumps out new rules as fast as possible. But you do want a government that is able to get things done; it needs to process those bills, authorize programs and fund the government.”

While the Republican held majority of the House and Senate may provide a clearer path to new policies, the right’s majority is by such thin margins — Senate (53-47) and House (220-215) — that it will still require cooperation from across the aisle.

“Remember, you need 60 votes in the Senate to really do anything of substance,” Lane says. “So, you still have a lot of those same conditions, even if the will is there and leadership on both sides of the same party. We are still operating in a very tight margin environment, and that doesn’t typically lend itself to fast progress on anything.”

Luckily, agriculture has long been an area where parties more easily reach across the aisle; as Chelsea Good, vice president of government and industry

Hereford.org

affairs at the Livestock Marketing Association (LMA), says, “Thankfully, agriculture has a history of being a bipartisan subject. Everyone eats and should be interested in supporting policies that benefit America’s hardworking ranchers.”

Tax policy

Lane says the U.S. beef industry values the export markets and wants to expand access to foreign markets while also ensuring that American trade partners are acting as good partners. He looks forward to being involved in many trade conversations to come this year, a sentiment Good echoes.

“Time will tell how tariffs and trade negotiations will play out in the next presidential term,” Good says.

“There is no doubt this is a critical issue for those in production agriculture.”

Outside of taxes, trade policy and an updated Farm Bill, agricultural interest groups will also keep an eye on any new immigration policies and how they may affect the access to farm labor.

Outside of officially passing a Farm Bill in 2025, rather than just issuing another extension, taxes top the list of agricultural interest groups with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 set to expire in 2025, if not renewed.

TCJA’s Section 199 allowed a 20% deduction for qualified business income for pass-through entities, and more than 98% of farms and ranches operate as passthrough businesses — sole proprietorships, partnerships Reaching out and Sub S corporations, according to Good.

This herd sire is hard to pick apart when you study his balanced EPD profile that is in bounds for every trait. He goes back to some great cow families with 4038 and 1311. He has the look and design of his sire 2111 who is proving to be one of the best sires we have used in a long time.

One of the best options in the offering for a double digit calving ease sire but still has the carcass numbers to put out a great set of feeding cattle. He is out of a first calf heifer that goes back to the Bailee cow family. Moderate sized, dark red and has lots of rib shape and muscle shape.

This Sherman son should be on everyone’s short list. The nice thing about him is both young and old cattlemen can appreciate this kind.

He is dark red and smooth made with just the right amount of size and shape. He was named Reserve Champion overall bull in Reno and we feel he will be the kind for the long haul.

One of 3 full brothers in this offering sired by Arlo and out of the high selling female 1101 to GKB cattle in Texas. Some of his brothers have slightly better genomics but we feel this ones phenotype is the best.

She is one if the breeds highest CHB cows that goes back to 8140 who is Bell Heirs full sister. Dark red and lots of pigment for generations.

This will be a pen bull for Denver and he will anchor a strong set that have not only the phenotype and look but also the EPD values that are in demand.

Winter Workarounds Tips on working cattle in cold weather.

by Heather Smith Thomas

C

CATTLE HEALTH

old weather creates challenges while working cattle, such as vaccines freezing and keeping your hands warm enough to function while also minimizing stress on the animals.

Check facilities ahead of time to make sure they are functional. Examine the chute and try any moving parts, make sure working alleys and crowding chutes are in good repair and ensure the gates aren’t frozen down or immobile in a snow drift.

Walk through the working facilities.

Shovel out the snow or chop away ice so gates will swing properly. Make sure walkways and working areas are safe and as ice-free as possible so people won’t get hurt. In winter, you may not be as agile and move more slowly with layers of winter clothes.

Warm enough to work

One of the biggest challenges when working cattle in winter weather is keeping vaccines, syringes and needles from freezing, according to Shannon Williams, Lemhi County, Idaho, Extension educator. She experimented with ways to keep vaccines at proper temperatures in cold weather.

Through her experience, Williams suggests producers keep them in an insulated cooler.

“Make sure you have a good cooler with adequate insulation,” she says.

“I recommend the hard Styrofoam coolers used for shipping vaccine or a regular hard-sided cooler. The softsided ones don’t keep the temperature where you need it for long enough.”

By planning, producers can ensure their vaccines don’t freeze during the few hours they’re working cattle.

“If you know it will be cold when you work cattle, bring the cooler indoors the night before. If it was

Or you can use a they may get too warm and won’t rice-filled heating pad, warmed in a be effective,” she notes. “It’s a fine microwave.

Cattlemen working it starts to drop below optimum cattle for more than a few hours temperature, you can put a new jar can add something warm to keep of warm water or warm rice bag in the temperatures inside the insulated the cooler. cooler from dipping too low.

Williams also suggests producers “I often use a pint jar of hot use two coolers — one for the bottles water. Pocket warmers and other they’re filling from and one for the things can be used, but sometimes a unopened bottles. This minimizes the person forgets to pick up something time producers will be opening and like that in town, and there isn’t closing the cooler.

business owner. “Our working facility is in an old barn. It’s not heated but provides shelter out of the wind. We can also set up heaters. We’ve had trouble with oral dewormers freezing-up, so we set up heaters.”

Before Niendick started working cattle under-roof, he built a countertop with a heater underneath to sit chute-side. The warmed counter kept the syringes and needles from freezing without heating up the vaccines too much.

It’s not just vaccines that pose problems in winter weather — anything that’s liquid must be kept from freezing, including pour-on and oral products. In cold weather, even hydraulic chutes can be sluggish until the hydraulic fluid warms up.

Niendick swaps his regular hydraulic fluid with transmission fluid during frigid weather, and they keep the motor and reserve tank for the chute in the medicine room to stay warmer.

He’s even heard of producers setting their chute’s motor in an old deep freeze beside the chute to keep it both warmer and quieter. Regardless, Niendick suggests warming up the chute before getting started.

“We try to let it warm up and circulate a little before we actually start putting cattle through the chute because there’s a lot of hose to warm up,” he says.

Keeping comfortable

David Hall, a southern Missouri cattleman, takes special care to keep his crew warm while working cattle in the cold — especially their hands and feet. “Often, everything you are touching is metal — squeeze chute, pipe corrals, gates — and your hands get cold,” Hall says. “It’s best to wear a thin pair of leather gloves.”

Even wearing gloves on a dry day, Hall points out that your hands will get wet, especially in an environment full of cow slobber and manure.

“If you sweat a little and your hands are damp inside the gloves, and you get some slobber or manure on the outside of the glove, your hands eventually get cold,” he says.

“Later you drop the syringe with the needle pointed down and have to change it and can’t get the needle off Hereford.org

because your hands are numb and not working very well. Keeping hands warm is important. When giving injections and deworming or handling metal gates and the chute, you don’t want to be fumble-fingers. In terms of safety, having warm hands is crucial.”

Hall suggests keeping hand warmers in your pockets to help warm your hands periodically or setting up a heater near the chute to warm your hands.

cattle handling. Hall uses Bud boxes and low-stress handling techniques to make the day less stressful for cattle and handlers alike.

“I don’t try to make cattle do anything; I try to be smarter than that and make them think it’s their idea, so they’ll want to go where I want them,” he says. This makes it easier on the cattle and the crew, which is especially important in cold weather.

“We’ve used a burn barrel — where people could stand by it and warm up. It’s almost more of a social thing, in some ways. If you are dressed for cold weather with some kind of covering for your hands and proper footwear, you won’t get cold, especially if you are moving around,” Hall says. “But it’s nice to have that fire where you can walk over and talk a little when things slow down for a moment or just discuss what needs to be done next. This helps with our mental state, which is also important when working cattle.”

Stay stress-free

It’s also important to work cattle slowly and not get them stressed. “In the summer, you don’t want to get them too hot, and in the winter if you get them upset and stressed and hot, then they will chill, which can lead to sickness,” Hall says.

Frustration can be heightened by the cold, and it negatively affects

Watch the weather

When possible, always opt for a day with good weather.

“We try to be flexible,” Hall says. “Here in Missouri, in February it might be 29 degrees with wind blowing and high humidity, and it’s raw, bone-chilling cold. A couple days later it might be 45 degrees and sunny with just a little wind. Try to pick the good days.”

There are times when producers can’t cherry-pick the day they work cattle, though, such as heat synching and AIing fall calvers in December. On days when the weather can’t be helped, Hall suggests a good windbreak.

“Even portable panels with tarps on them or a few big bales set in a row can block the wind in your work area,” he notes. “This can make a big difference.”

Winter 2025 Outlook Weakening La Niña chances could still impact temperature and moisture levels.

by Sydnee Shive

E

WEATHER

ven though the calendar turned to winter Dec. 21, the long-anticipated La Niña has yet to appear.

“La Niña formation has been expected for several months, but not all oceanic and atmospheric indicators have come into line yet,” says Brad Rippey, USDA meteorologist. “There are many measures of El Niño and La Niña, but one of the simplest is to look at sea-surface temperature anomalies in a small rectangle of the equatorial Pacific Ocean known as the Niño 3.4 region.”

Calculations of sea-surface temperature anomalies in the Niño 3.4 region are known as the Oceanic Niño Index. La Niña is officially formed when sea-surface temperature anomalies reach -0.5°C for five consecutive three-month periods.

“With each passing month, the chances of having a significant La Niña are decreasing,” Rippey says.

“La Niña typically lasts from summer or autumn of one year into the spring of the next. We are running out of time to string together five consecutive overlapping three-month periods with sea-surface temperatures in the Niño 3.4 region low enough (at least 0.5° C below average) to meet the scientific definition of La Niña.”

Although no two events are alike, La Niña usually results in warmerand drier-than-normal conditions in the southern U.S. The official National Weather Service forecast for January-March 2025 shows a generally warmer and drier than normal southern U.S. — a pattern consistent with a weak La Niña.

Put simply, this potential La Niña seems to be playing games, according to Rippey.

62

| January 2025

“Some La Niña episodes are cut and dried, but this one is stringing us along,” Rippey says. “Now, scientists are not so certain that La Niña will form at all in 2024-25. This has happened before; in 2012-13 and 2013-14.”

Other factors

“We have to start considering that factors other than La Niña may play into the winter forecast,” Rippey says.

“Already, that may be happening. A high-pressure block — unrelated to La Niña — kept much of the U.S. warm and dry for much of September and October. When that block broke down, North Pacific storminess surged across the western and central U.S., resulting in one of the wettest Novembers on record across the central and southern Plains.

“For now, we’ve reverted to a pattern that more closely resembles what you might expect during La Niña formation. Time will tell to see if this ‘La Niña-esque’ pattern sticks around, or if something else takes the reins of North American weather.”

Warming oceans are also impacting weather while creating uncertainty.

“Current sea-surface temperatures continue to show significantly elevated oceanic temperatures in many areas, at least outside of the ‘La Niña zone’ in the equatorial Pacific,” Rippey says.

“Parts of the North Pacific remain ‘on fire,’ which can have an impact on storm strength for weather systems approaching western North America.

As the continents cool down (for winter) and the oceans remain warm, erratic jet-stream patterns can result in unexpectedly extreme weather, including major winter storms and warm or frigid spells.”

Drought update

A broad swath of the U.S. saw drought improvement thanks to heavy November precipitation, and as of December 2024, 40% of the U.S. cattle inventory was in drought. That was a decrease from an October peak of 62%. However, this percentage was still similar to December 2023’s figure of 37%.

At the time, Rippey explained, “Similarly, 48% of the U.S. hay production area was in drought, down from an autumn high of 63%.

A year ago, that number was 35%.”

The percentage of hay and cattle areas affected by drought was much lower during the heart of the 2024 growing season.

“In June, just 8% of the cattle inventory and 6% of the hay production area were in drought,” Rippey says.

Parts of the Northwest and North Central regions of the U.S. are expected to see below average temperatures in early 2025, while the Southwest, Southeast and North Atlantic regions could see higherthan-average temperatures, as is expected with a La Niña.

“One thing to note is that there is often a fine line during La Niña winters between dry conditions on the southern Plains (like Texas) and wet weather in the mid-South (like Kentucky and Tennessee),” Rippey says.

The Northwest and Great Lakes regions are also projected to experience above-average precipitation levels. If a weak La Niña emerges, the Southwest and Southeast regions of the U.S. should expect to receive below-average amounts of precipitation.

AHA CORNER

Association News Aegerter named director of seedstock marketing

Kane Aegerter, Kansas City, Mo., joined the American Hereford Association Kane Aegerter (AHA) and Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) staff as the director of seedstock marketing on Dec. 11. He assumes the role of Joe Rickabaugh, long-time AHA director of seedstock marketing, who is retiring Feb. 1.

A Nebraska native, Aegerter studied animal science with a business option at Oklahoma State University, where he was a member of the livestock judging team, and graduated in 2021. He also holds a minor in agricultural economics and real estate appraisal.

Aegerter served as a beef sales specialist at Boviteq for more than three years and completed two summer internships with the company. He was named the hiring manager for the summer internship program during his tenure and joined the organization’s international committee in 2023, helping oversee the development of opportunities abroad. At Boviteq, he was heavily involved in client recruitment and retention, creating strategies and budgets and traveling to stock shows and trade shows.

He is no stranger to the livestock industry — Aegerter has helped manage Aegerter Cattle Co., a seedstock Shorthorn operation, and Aegerter Marketing Services, a familyowned sale management business, since 2014. He also grew up

70

exhibiting cattle and served on the American Junior Shorthorn Association board of directors.

“I am thrilled to join the rich legacy of the AHA, representing a breed with such a historic impact on the cattle industry,” Aegerter says. “The dedication, expertise and passion of the ranchers and breeders who have built and sustained this historic breed are truly inspiring.

I am equally grateful to work alongside such a talented and committed staff, and I look forward to collaborating with this exceptional community to support their efforts and advance the continued success of the Hereford breed.”

In his role as the director of seedstock marketing, Aegerter will serve as the manager of HPI and be responsible for providing strategic, financial and operational insight while working closely with AHA staff to develop consistent branding across all AHA entities. He will build customer relationships and work with AHA staff to coordinate and manage the National Hereford Sale and other events.

“We are excited to welcome Kane to the team,” says Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president. “Having spent his entire life in the cattle industry, he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position. His understanding of the industry, paired with his background and experience in promotion and marketing, will be an invaluable asset to HPI and the AHA.” Aegerter can be contacted at kaegerter@hereford.org or 402-641-8699.

In addition to AI sires, all embryo transfer (ET) donor dams and walking sires born after Jan. 1, 2026, will be required to have a genomic profile completed at the American Hereford Association (AHA) official lab and be fully parent verified and tested for all recognized genetic conditions.

2. The Board voted unanimously to purge all DNA samples starting Jan. 1, 2026, after the requested testing is complete.

For other accepted DNA policy changes, please see Hereford.org/ Hereford-Handbook.

Commercial programs Johnson joins AHA as commercial marketing representative

Trevor Johnson, Centerville, S.D., joined the AHA as a commercial marketing representative on Trevor Johnson Jan. 2.

Johnson is a lifelong Hereford enthusiast and a southeast South Dakota native.

He has a bachelor’s degree in agribusiness from Kansas State University (K-State), where he was also a member of the national champion meat animal evaluation team and involved with the Center for Risk Management Education and Research and the Beef Cattle Institute. Johnson completed two internships with Adams Land and Cattle, working in both the cattle operations and the corporate office.

He found a passion for the commercial cattle industry at a young age with help from the National Junior Hereford Association and programs like the Fed Steer Shootout. Upon graduation from K-State, Johnson returned to his family’s seedstock, feedlot and row-crop operation.

In his role with the AHA, Johnson will work alongside Association staff to advance the Hereford breed in the commercial sector through multiple outlets.

From identifying and expanding marketing opportunities for feeder cattle and commercial females, to developing relationships with cattle feeders, order buyers and auction market representatives, Johnson will work to strengthen Hereford’s place in the commercial beef industry.

Doug and Maxine Gerber’s Hall of Fame Sketch Our apologies to the Gerber family.

We mistakenly shared the wrong sketch with the profile of 2024 AHA Hall of Fame inductees, Doug and Maxine Gerber, Richmond, Ind. This is the Bruce Huxol sketch that should have accompanied the Gerber’s profile in the December 2024 issue of Hereford World.

“It is an honor to work alongside Team Hereford in serving commercial producers utilizing Hereford genetics,” Johnson says. “As the cattle industry navigates changes such as the national cow herd inventory or emerging sustainability-based revenue streams, I am optimistic that the breed is well poised to find opportunity for producers and remain a leader. I look forward to building connections with and serving commercial producers and breeders alike.”

Additionally, Johnson will represent the AHA at video sales, sale barn feeder specials and other industry events.

“We are excited for the opportunity to work with Trevor to develop and grow opportunities within the commercial industry,” says Trey Befort, AHA director of commercial programs. “I look forward to having such a bright young mind with a passion for Hereford genetics as a part of the team.”

Johnson can be reached at tjohnson@hereford.org.

Youth Apply for the 2025 BOLD Conference

Applications are due Feb. 1, 2025. Visit Hereford.org/youth/ NJHA/BOLD to learn more.

NAILE Junior Hereford Champions Named H

adley, Wyatt and Blayne Dunklau, Wayne, Neb., showed the grand champion female on Nov. 16 in Louisville, Ky., at the 2024 North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE).

Judge Jon Sweeney, Cedarville, Ohio, evaluated 154 Hereford entries to select the champion females.

“You have one of the most respected breeds in the business,” Sweeney said before selecting the grand champion female. “To the young people out here that have chosen to exhibit Hereford cattle — I want you to know what this breed means to the show cattle industry and what it also means to the beef industry. These cattle are going to be the tools with which you improve your breed,

and you’re going to improve the cattle industry with that as well.”

The Dunklau family’s grand champion female, HAWK RC Macy 307 ET, is an April 24, 2023, daughter of KLD RW Marksman D87 ET that was first named champion spring yearling female. This champion heifer was named third-overall junior female of all breeds following Sunday’s supreme drive. Mary Carter Shirley, Sparta, Tenn., exhibited the reserve grand champion female, MCS Ozzie 323, a July 14, 2023, daughter of MCS Hot Topic 121 from the intermediate yearling female division.

From the Field In Passing Perry Lee Teeter, 89, of Cleveland, N.C., passed Nov. 19, 2024.

He was born on Feb. 1, Perry Teeter 1935, in Iredell County, North Carolina, to the late Willis Lee Teeter and Sylvia Correll Teeter.

Perry was a member of Prospect Presbyterian Church where he served as a deacon and elder. He was a veteran having served in the U.S. Air National Guard.

He was also a rodeo cowboy who won bull riding championships in his younger years, and he was a lifelong cattleman. Perry and his late wife, Doris, were very involved

in the Beef Leadership Youth Institute and were both involved with helping those in agriculture.

Perry was a director in American Polled Hereford Association and worked at Harris Teeter for 25 years. He loved his family and was actively involved in his children’s and grandchildren’s lives. He will be greatly missed.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife, Doris Jane Teeter.

Those left to cherish his loving memory are his children, William “Lee” (Lura) Teeter and Walter Franklin (Ruth Lee) Teeter; brother, Charles Lavette (Brenda) Teeter; and grandchildren, Garrett, Justin, Austin, Rhett and Keanen.

James Russell Milligan, 71, Kings, Ill., passed Nov. 24, 2024.

Jim was born on April 3, 1953, Jim Milligan the son of Robert J. and Ann M. (Miller) Milligan in Rockford, Ill. Jim was a 1971 graduate of the Rochelle Township High School.

He attended the University of Illinois, where he was part of the FarmHouse Fraternity and served on the meat judging team. He graduated in 1975 and then moved home to be part of the Milligan family farming business.

Jim lived life to the fullest. He spent most of his life farming and raising registered Hereford cattle.

He was up many a night during calving season waiting for that little calf to be born. Jim could

be found every morning eating breakfast at Grubsteaker’s with all of the other regulars. He was just a farmer plain and simple. Jim was a member of the American Hereford Association and the Ogle County Beef Association. He was also a member of the Rochelle Lion’s Club and a Township Trustee.

Jim is survived by his three siblings: Mac (Grace) Milligan of Kings; Jacque (Bill) Rowland and Martha (Terry) Ashcraft both of Albuquerque, N.M.; four nieces and nephews: Lynzie (Nic Argibay) Rowland, Breanne (Josh) Hensley, Robert Ashcraft and Andrew Ashcraft; and greatnephew, Carter.

In addition to his parents, Robert and Ann, he is preceded in death by his niece, Kathryn “Kate” Nicole Milligan.

For the first time, the Barnes and Marion Families are exhibiting a pen of heifers at Oklahoma City and offering choice of them to the public. All four of these females were raised by our very best first calvers. All four females are sired by TH 195B Oracle 19K. Oracle has proven in his first calf crop to be a tremendous calving ease option and a producer of elite female prospects.

How Do We Define Legacy?

Is it what we were given or what we want to leave behind?

Is our legacy in the land, the cattle, or the family, friends and people we’ve impacted?

Can it not be all of them?

The legacy we want to leave for our land is that it be fertile, healthier, and better nurtured than we found it.

The legacy we want to leave for our cattle is to always consider the genetics and breeding efficiency that can improve another’s cow herd.

The legacy we want to leave for the people is of character and resiliency, with a respect for our past, an appreciation of the present, and a plan for the future.

LICK After 70 years, the future at FLAT STONE will now pass to the hands of our family. the farm Under the direction of the fourth generation, cattle will continue and evolve, breeding Hereford we have and caring for the land. It is our belief that created a legacy to allow it to succeed.

n, just as We ask for your support during our transitio you have done in the past.

Respectfully, Les and Nancy
