Progress in Pounds With uncompromising standards for feedlot performance and uniformity, Hein Cattle Co. of Forsyth, Mont., finds success with Hereford genetics. by Kayla Jennings

walk outside this time of year lends itself to subzero temperatures and a much-needed warm drink in a gloved hand. Snow becomes a mainstay, and memories of the lush, green pasture from last summer disappear as quickly as the short days of winter. Indeed, this time of year in Forsyth, Mont. — with harsh winters and predators on the prowl — is no easy ride. Even so, since 1912 the Hein family has persevered the rugged landscape to raise the highest-quality cattle possible. With three generations before him, Scott Hein holds the reigns at Hein Cattle Co. and strives for excellence in every aspect of management. While the ranch continually evolves, a couple of features have maintained — the homestead and Hereford bulls.

The ranch The ranch is a family affair in partnership with Hein’s wife, kids and father, Butch. Hein’s wife, Terri, grew up on a ranch, and their two girls, Laura (20) and Lindsey (16), aspire to make their marks in the education system and the field of law. Their son, Carson (18), is soon to play a more integral role in the operation as the fifth-generation partner in the family business. Hein has only one stipulation for his son in this next step. “I told him he couldn’t use any other bulls but Herefords,” Hein remarks. “I said, ‘don’t even think about another bull.’” At its foundation, Hein Cattle Co. is a 300-head terminal cross operation in eastern Montana, with the mantra, “bred for the feeder in mind.” The Heins have an Angus cow base with roughly 11 Hereford bulls for natural service. Hein accounts one bull for every 30-35 cows with a 60- to 65-day calving window. The only exception to this is the 30-day calving window for firstcalf heifers. “Last year, I had a 75 percent breed up in 30 days,” he recalls. “It keeps them as a pretty uniform set of calves.” Uniformity is just one component of the increasing marketability of the calves. Hein says the performance of their calves in the feedlot is a top priority, as well. Attaining that goal requires superior genetics, a quality nutrition program and maintaining an excellent health protocol. “We want to wean big, heavy calves. I like heavy calves,” he says. “But you have to take good care of the cows to get the calves there.” They elect to follow the Superior Livestock Auction health program and implant their calves at branding. The consistent year-round program requires a round of vaccines at birth and then again during the weaning phase. “They don’t have any health troubles when they go to the feedyard,” Hein points out. continued on page 18...

Breed Focus

Rising to the Challenge

by Jack Ward

Seedstock producers must continue to seek innovative genetic selection tools to ensure profitability in the beef industry. In December, the 11th Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Genetic Prediction workshop was held in Kansas City, Mo. The conference focused on developments in genetic evaluation software and selection indexes. On the first day, breed associations discussed how they have incorporated genomics into their genetic evaluations. Shane Bedwell gave a great update on the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) genetic evaluation process which utilizes Biometric Open Language Tools (BOLT) technology.

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

Imperative improvements This month, the AHA also celebrated its one-year anniversary of having released our updated genetic evaluation and selection indexes. At first glance, the updates to the selection indexes were perceived to be directly related to the change in the genetic evaluation. In reality those updates were due to the addition of new economically relevant traits (ERTs) and to changes in economic factors and values of expected progeny differences. Those changes were imperative because of the addition of these ERTs: Dry Matter Intake (DMI), Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF) and Carcass Weight (CW). In the past there was a misconception that more is always

This workshop served as a good reminder that we cannot be complacent. The AHA has made huge progress in the areas of genetic improvement and management. However, we must continue to add and to utilize new tools to tap into new growth. The industry must move away from the “coffee shop talk” approach to progress and, instead, evaluate a program’s true profitability. The commercial industry will continue to move toward

crossbreeding, as it is the most efficient and economical approach to adding longevity, calf healthfulness and efficiency into a cow herd. The AHA continues to prove the value of Hereford genetics in crossbreeding programs. Next, the seedstock industry will need to look closer at generational intervals and determine the most advanced tools that will allow for reliable genetic selections. For instance, as a seedstock producer, are you ready to implement a systemsapproach strategy to selection and to institute a breeding program encouraging in vitro fertilization (IVF) flushing virgin heifers? These schemes may seem a bit complex to wrap our thoughts around, but we must remain at the forefront of our competitors. In turn, this challenges all of us in the beef industry to be progressive. As seedstock producers, the industry relies on us to make sound breeding decisions. As we embark on a new year, I want to share a couple reminders: Please plan to stop by the AHA booth at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Trade Show during the 2019 Cattle Industry Convention, Jan. 30-Feb. 1, New Orleans, and mark your calendars for the 2019 BIF Convention, June 18-21, Brookings, S.D.

better, and the seedstock industry is, perhaps, guiltier of this belief more than other industries. We have maintained that producing more was the sole driver of profitability and did not consider the possible antagonisms of this approach. For instance, the unintended consequences of producing more pounds at weaning are an increase in mature cow size, a decrease in fertility and an increase in maintenance requirements. So, do input costs associated with increased weaning weights offset revenues generated by selling heavier calves? I am sure most of you address those concerns each day, but it is always a good reminder to think about our customers’ profitability as we make breeding decisions.

A new year brings new goals and expectations of how operations can make improvements to their bottomline. Similarly, calving season brings renewed excitement relative to what this year’s calf crop will contribute to your herd, as well as validates your disciplined breeding decisions. The Hereford breed continues to chart new heights and is leveraged to gain more share in commercial operations around the country. With the eve of bull sale season upon us, I want to share a comparison table showing the progression of Hereford genetics over the last decade. This table compares the average expected progeny difference (EPD) profiles of the top 10 registration sires for 2017 and 2007. Almost across the board there were genetic gains for the top sires in 2017 compared to those in 2007. These gains speak volumes to the commitment American Hereford Association (AHA) breeders have made in creating a product that delivers more value, and also verifies the merit of Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) — the crux of the AHA’s genetic evaluation that ensures a quality analysis with complete calf crop information. A trait that stood out to me is the tremendous improvement in Calving Ease (CE), while still gaining a better than 20 percent improvement in primary growth traits. The improvement in CE is in direct support of U.S. Meat Animal Research Center data comparing Hereford to other British breeds, which showed Herefords have the most desirable effect on reducing calving difficulty. Likewise, there was a 54 percent and 44 percent improvement in Ribeye Area (REA) and Marbling (MARB), respectively. The fact that Hereford genetics have made such noteworthy progress without sacrificing cow fertility and longevity is comforting. In fact, you will notice a favorable improvement on udder and teat quality as well. Hereford genetics are delivering the necessary versatility to fulfill the operation goals of commercial cattlemen. Data clearly show the progress made within the AHA herdbook and the front-end genetics available to take advantage of. For more information on EPD traits, visit Hereford.org/genetics/breed-improvement/ trait-definitions/. I wish you all the best in 2019. Hereford.org

California Hereford ranchers raise $40,800 for wildfire victims A California-based group of Hereford breeders raised $40,800 to donate to cattlemen affected by the Camp Fire in northern California. The money was raised through the sale of Hereford heifer DF 0245 EMMA 907 741 ET at the Western States National Hereford Sale in Reno, Nev., Dec. 1, 2018. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reported the fire burned 153,336 acres, and destroyed nearly 19,000 buildings and homes. At least 85 individuals lost their lives, making this the deadliest fire in the state’s history. To support relief efforts, a group of five breeders known as the G5 Syndicate, Members of the G5 Syndicate were humbled by the outpouring of support from Hereford offered the heifer for sale, with all proceeds breeders with the sale of Emma, a heifer donated by Dewar Farms, Bakersfield, Calif., to raise money for the northern California wildfire victims. going directly to those affected by the fire. The syndicate is made up of Dewar Farms, Bakersfield, Calif.; Lambert Ranch, Irvine, Calif.; Macfarlane Livestock, Cottonwood, Calif.; Schneider – Brown Ranch, Sloughhouse, Calif.; and Wunschel Ranch, Plymouth, Calif. Dewar Farms donated the heifer, called Emma. “It was very heartwarming to see all those Hereford breeders give whatever they could,” says Andrea Dewar of Dewar Farms. “We never expected to raise that much money, and it’s amazing how an ag community can come together.” Emma sold as the first lot in the 2018 Western States National Hereford Sale for just over $11,000. She was donated back and sold two more times to generate $40,800. GKB Cattle, Waxahachie, Texas, placed the final bid and took half interest on the heifer so that Dewar Farms can continue showing Emma throughout the year. Other Hereford breeders and cattlemen who donated to the cause are: Mark and Stacy Holt, Jill Jess, Alto Livestock, Downing Cattle Co., GKB Cattle, Morrell Cattle, Wooden Shoe Farms, Potter Ranch Herefords, Bar One Ranch, Hildebrand Hay & Cattle, Blackhills Herefords, Scott Holt, Mrnak Herefords, Genoa Livestock, Red River Farms, Morrell Ranches, Logan Ipsen , Sierra Ranches, Colyer Herefords, Sticks & Stones Ranch, Barber Ranch, Barry Ranch, Hoffman Ranch, Sonoma Mountain Herefords, Pedretti Ranches, Brumley Farms, Wheeler Cattle, Hacklin Herefords, CX Ranch, Allison Hay & Herefords, 4M Livestock, AES (Amador/El Dorado/Sacremento) Cattlemen’s Association, Murray Hay & Cattle, Snedden Ranch, McDonald Farms, K Bar D Angus, Harfst Ranch and Wunschel Ranch.

DNA Sampling Tips and Tricks

by Laura Loschke

DNA testing is a vital component of the beef industry. The American Hereford Association (AHA) requires DNA testing on any sire born after Jan. 1, 2011, out of which calves are being registered. Additionally, DNA testing is required on dams being flushed and having embryo transfer (ET) calves registered to them. The AHA allows several types of samples to be used for testing. To ensure you are using the best practices when obtaining and mailing your DNA samples, review the following tips.

Hair Hair used for DNA samples must be collected from the tail switch of the animal. Pull the hair sample; do not cut it. You will need to collect 80 to 100 hairs. This amount may seem like a lot, but hair breaks easily, may not have a good follicle on it or could be contaminated. Make sure the hair is clean and not contaminated with manure, mud, bodily fluids, etc. It is best to wait until the animal has reached weaning age before taking the

sample since young calves generally do not have a lot of follicles and are difficult to use in obtaining results.

Blood card Blood cards can be purchased from the AHA for $.50 each with a minimum order of 10. Blood can be drawn using any method desired. Fill the blotting paper section of the blood card with blood and saturate the paper just enough to fill the circle, but not too much as to make the card soggy.

Oversaturating the card can result in a “bad sample” designation from the lab. Insert the blood card lid into the top slit so there is room for air to get in. Leave the card in a clean area to dry at room temperature. Do not use a heating source for drying. Once the card is dry, open the lid and insert the tab into the bottom slit for storage or shipping. Blood card samples can be collected at any age, so this is a better option than hair if testing a young calf.

Semen straw Semen straws can be used as a DNA sample for bulls. Straws can be shipped at room temperature — they do not need to be shipped refrigerated. However, semen straws break easily, so put straws in something protective when shipping. An easy way to protect them from breaking is to use an ink pen. Simply pop the end cap off of an ink pen, pull the ink tube out and then slide the semen straw into the pen. The hard plastic of the pen provides protection for the straw in the mail. It is also best to use a padded envelope to send straws in, even if you put the straw in a pen or some other protective casing.

Tissue sample unit Tissue sample units (TSUs) are the latest form of samples to hit the market. To collect a TSU, order the proper equipment including tissue sample tubes and an applicator. These products can be ordered directly from Allflex® or through the order form posted on the AHA website. Send completed forms to eartags@hereford.org. When collecting a TSU, wipe the ear clean. Do not use any cleaning products to clean the ear, as these could contaminate the sample. Try to collect the sample from a portion of the ear without a tattoo as the tattoo ink could contaminate the sample and fail the DNA testing. Be sure the white cap is pressed down firmly on the tube, ensuring no part of the sample or any liquid can escape. It is important to protect TSUs properly during shipping. Send them in a padded envelope or another form of protective casing. TSUs are great for obtaining samples on younger calves since the samples can be collected at any age. However, the sample should not be taken immediately after birth. The newborn calf may still have fluids that could contaminate the sample. All samples should be sent with the corresponding DNA submission form for the specific animal. Obtain this form from the AHA before sending samples into the lab. DNA requests can be made online through MyHerd or by calling or emailing the AHA Customer Service Department. Laura Loschke is the education and information service coordinator of the American Hereford Association. She can be reached at lloschke@hereford.org.

Maximize the Value of Your Cattle

by Trey Befort

As we begin a new year, I hope everyone had holidays blessed with plenty of time spent with family and friends. This is my favorite time of the year, and I think that it is a great time to sit back and to take a look at not only what we have experienced and accomplished over the past year but also what we can do to improve ourselves and our operations in the year to come.

Certified Hereford Beef® specifications An important part of being a progressive producer is having the willingness to adapt to changes and the open-mindedness to adopt new practices and technologies to set yourself apart and to improve the quality, efficiency and profitability of your cattle and your operation. One exciting change to mention is the quality grade improvement

modification made to the Certified Hereford Beef brand. Effective Jan. 1, 2019, Certified Hereford Beef carcasses will be required to have a Small00 or higher marbling score, making all Certified Hereford Beef product grade United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Choice or higher. A comparison of the carcass specifications for the two Certified Hereford Beef programs can be found in Table 1. The Certified Hereford Beef marbling score modification has several benefits to the brand and will create new opportunities for growth with a higher quality product. Approximately 80 percent of product going into the previous Certified Hereford Beef Classic program was USDA Choice or higher. Eliminating the approximately 20 percent of USDA Select product previously included in the Certified

Hereford Beef Classic program will provide a more consistent and higherquality product for end users. Increasing the quality standard of the Certified Hereford Beef product will also allow the brand to be more competitive in a marketplace that continues to demand a superior product. Another benefit of this change is the elimination of brand confusion of being a “non-graded” product. This misconception resulted from the absence of a specific USDA quality grade on product sold through the previous Select/Choice blended Classic program. Most importantly, this modification will drive the demand for higherquality Hereford and Herefordinfluenced cattle. With the continued growth in demand for a highquality Certified Hereford Beef product, additional opportunities will arise

for premiums paid to cattlemen, rewarding those who produce topquality cattle to supply the brand.

Balanced approach Setting a higher standard for marbling in the Certified Hereford Beef brand will be an added attribute to complement the existing efficiency and maternal advantages of the Hereford breed. I recommend producers avoid “tunnel vision” and strictly selecting for marbling but, instead, take a balanced approach to improve the genetic merit of their herds. The commercial programs offered by the American Hereford Association (AHA) are great tools to do so and have been discussed in previous issues of the Hereford World. Many Hereford breeders have started to include the commercial program logos on bulls that meet program requirements. Table 2 briefly reviews and outlines the different programs and the associated profit index requirements for each. By participating in these programs, producers receive a sire summary generated specifically for their bull battery. With this sire summary, producers are able to quickly see the strengths and weaknesses of their bull battery, allowing them to make educated selection and culling decisions before the next breeding season. Refer to the image below for an example of the sire summary generated through all of the AHA commercial programs. As we come into the early spring when many bulls will be available for purchase, this is a great time for producers to evaluate their bull battery information to see what area(s) they may need to focus on when purchasing bulls. Though many producers market their calf crop as weaned calves or yearlings — and do not retain ownership of those animals through the finishing phase — I believe it is still a responsibility of all cattlemen to produce the highest quality product possible to pass along to the next segment of the industry. By putting added focus on carcass traits, such as marbling, producers may gain additional buyer interest and repeat buyers who have added confidence in genetics that have proven to perform in the feedyard and at the packer level. I strongly encourage producers utilizing Hereford bulls in their operation to take advantage of the commercial programs discussed as we near bull sale season. For those interested in participating in and taking advantage of the commercial programs listed above, visit the “Commercial” page at Hereford.org for more information or contact Trey Befort.

...Progress in Pounds continued from the cover

“Last October they shipped, and the pay weight on the steer calves was 678. They went to slaughter at Greater Omaha in April weighing 1,395 pounds.” In addition to health protocol, the Heins feed an alfalfa-based cake with grain and a chelated mineral. They are on a pasture rotation program in the summer that is supplied with stock water. However, in their part of the state, it can take up to a ton of hay per cow to get through the winter. To minimize cost there, Hein feeds a lot of barley straw during the winter months. The straw is also valuable for bedding in the cold climate.

Last spring I had firstcalf heifers bred to Herefords, and I did not have to pull one calf. Before I used to buy bred heifers that were AI [artificially inseminated] to black, and I pulled plenty of calves out of them.

”

— Scott Hein

Hot commodity Management is only half of the equation. Hein says his experience points to Hereford bulls’ ability to produce consistently heavy, highly sought-after calves that are receiving a premium in the marketplace. To him it is impressive his moderate cows mated to a Hereford bull can yield such a productive calf. During his tenure in the cattle business, Hein has seen an increase in the use of Hereford bulls by his peers for those very reasons. “People realize there is an advantage to using Hereford bulls on black cows,” he says. “There is an increase in pounds, a lot of pounds in some cases, and then you get the female advantage.” While he does not retain any females for his own use, he sees the immense success his customers have had on the female side, as well as the fed-steer side. In fact, his philosophy and management have led to repeat buyers actively seeking out Hein Cattle Company baldy calves. “I want bulls that make pounds,” Hein notes. “The guy that has been buying the steers for five years in a row bought the heifers. He bred and sold them, and he did pretty well with

Hein seeks out big, rugged bulls to fit his operational goal of weaning heavy calves.

them. He kept some of the others as cows and they have done well, too.” Customer testimony like that is what keeps the demand high for Hein’s calves. He has marketed his calves through his Superior Livestock Auction representative, Scotty Anderson, for the last decade. Anderson says the Hein cattle are consistent, first-rate, heavy calves that fit the market. In fact, he notes cattle feeders “crawling over top of one another” to get their hands on these cattle year after year.

“There is no introduction needed when the Hein cattle come across the video, because they are going to sell themselves,” Anderson says. “Scott Hein’s heifer calves sold better than most people’s best steer calves. They are the show stoppers.” It does not hurt that they are consistently the heaviest calves sold at weaning in the area. Anderson points out how impressive it is for Hein to have weaning weights up to 700 pounds on April calves right off the cow in October. The steer calves sold in the last shipment on Oct. 12 weighing 712 pounds, the heifer calves weighed 675 at weaning, and the 2017 calf crop was harvested at 1,395 pounds in April — a win for Hein and his customers. In his role of marketing the calves, Anderson gets phone calls from customers not only looking for the next group of calves they can buy from the Hein family, but also complimenting the cattle. Past customers note the steer calves are the best feeders and the heifer calves the best replacement females they have ever bought. Creating this demand and getting cattle to this point is no easy feat. Anderson applauds Hein’s dedication to developing the best cattle possible from selection to nutrition and health protocols. Hein’s efforts include piping in water to ensure adequate grass, maintaining the best vaccination program he can find and treating for potential parasites. “He is not cutting corners when he buys his bulls,” Anderson explains. “He is buying the front end of bulls on the Hereford side. Number two, he’s got a

consistent mineral program. Scott does not cut corners on the mineral.” Additionally, Hein Cattle Co. has been the beneficiary of the demand for Hereford-influenced cattle in the marketplace. When the calves hit the ground and grow to the pay weights the Heins have been seeing, the value in the baldy calf is solidified in Hein’s eyes. “My goal is to continue to produce these F1 calves,” he says. “They are easy to sell on Superior because they bring a premium.” His calves are receiving these premiums, in part, because of the commercial programs out there today. “I think anything to help the commercial cattleman market [his] calves is a good thing,” he notes. When he is not selling weaned calves, Hein sells his older females and bulls private treaty. Fortunately, he has had the ability to sell those females to a neighbor, who is also implementing Hereford bulls into his operation.

As Hein’s saying goes, “This is ranch country,” and he hopes it stays that way. As the generations come and go, leaving their own unique mark on the ranch, one more thing maintains — the determination and drive to expand and to increase the quality of cattle leaving the gates. The tradition of Hereford bulls on black Angus cows runs deep, and it will continue to do so. Perhaps Anderson says it best: “With Scott Hein and Hein Cattle Co., there are no corners cut. When it comes to buying the best, he buys the best. He does that in his bulls, his vaccination program, his mineral, and if you drove out to his place, you would think, ‘Wow. It is phenomenal. It is just unreal.’”

People realize there is an advantage to using Hereford bulls on black cows. There is an increase in pounds, a lot of pounds in some cases, and then you get the female advantage.

”

— Scott Hein

Selecting for success The success of the Hein Cattle Co. operation would not be possible without selecting the best females and bull battery on the front end. For Hein it is valuable to consider multiple traits when making those decisions. “I want a moderate framed black cow — an easy-keeper,” he explains. “They have to have some milk in them. I need something I can breed to the Hereford bulls, to make the cross work.” On the bull side, for the last 25 years, the Hein family has sought largeframed, big-hipped, rugged bulls to fit the environment for the past 25 years. Today, they source horned Hereford bulls from Courtney Herefords, Capitol, Mont., private treaty. Selection emphasis is placed on those qualities, as well as the 205-day weight. Ideally the bulls will reach at least 700 pounds by then. “The bulls are coming twoyear-olds when I buy them, and they are 1,800 pounds,” Hein says. “They grow up to 2,500 pounds.” Despite their large size, Hein has experienced little calving difficulty. To him that pays dividends from a monetary and labor perspective. “Last spring I had first-calf heifers bred to Herefords, and I did not have to pull one calf,” he says. “Before, I used to buy bred heifers that were AI [artificially inseminated] to black, and I pulled plenty of calves out of them.” While calving has not presented challenges for the Hein family, there are many environmental challenges at play. Last winter brought the toughest conditions they had yet weathered in Forsyth. A snowmobile was the only viable mode of transportation, and they used every ton of hay that had been reserved for winter. There was still snow on the ground at the end of March. Additionally, coyotes pose a threat in the region during calving. The predator problem is controlled via trappers and the county, but cattle must still be hardy to withstand those challenges. Hein says buyers appreciate cattle from his region for that trait exactly. Hereford.org

Preface In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the 2018 American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting, I was fortunate enough to meet Hereford breeder Bill Ashe of Selmer, Tenn. “I have a great story to share with you,” he told me — and indeed he did. Last January, the Illinois Beef magazine ran a story on Hereford breeder Arlyn Rabideau, a close friend of Bill’s. “He has been a perfect customer and we’ve developed a good friendship. He has one of the best attitudes of anybody that I’ve ever met,” Bill shares. “He’s as honest a person that you could ever hope to come in contact with. I think he is one of the worthiest people you could put in an article in the Hereford World.” Arlyn and Bill have been friends for more than 65 years, and it is evident through Bill’s kind words their friendship is one of trust and loyalty, as are all of Arlyn’s connections. “You’ll find he’s one of the most class acts that you’ll ever meet,” Bill

says. “When you meet him you’ll say, ‘Everything you told me about him was correct.’” Bill’s praise is echoed by many, including Joe Rickabaugh, AHA director of field management and seedstock marketing. “Each year while selecting cattle for the Iowa Beef Expo sale, I get the privilege of selecting cattle at Arlyn Rabideau’s. He is one of the really good guys in the breed. He loves the cattle, studies pedigrees and is simply a great person to have in the Hereford industry,” Joe says. I hope to meet Arlyn one day, and I have no doubt he is every bit the incredible man described by so many. In the meantime, this wonderfully crafted story by Jill Johnson, executive vice president of the Illinois Beef Association, makes me feel like I have known him for years. It is with great pleasure we share the story of Arlyn Rabideau. — Diane Meyer, Hereford World editor

Creating Connections In life, our connections often times help define our ability. The cattle business is a massive system that depends on our participation as a community. Without those connections to each other, the system would be unable to function; something long-time Illinois Hereford breeder Arlyn Rabideau recognized early on. by Jill Johnson

ew individuals greet each day with the same tenacity and passion as Arlyn. Rarely without a smile, some of his greatest joys are being part of the cattle business and connecting with people. Those who know Arlyn best would agree his zealous personality makes him a go-to guy for bringing people together in the Hereford breed. Fellow Hereford breeder Andrew Garnhart described Arlyn as an incredible asset not only to the Illinois Hereford Association (IHA), but to the Illinois Beef Association (IBA) and cattle industry in general. “He is an excellent promoter of the industry, doing things the right way and leading by example. I have experienced his leadership and drive first-hand with our time

together on the IHA board. For a number of years, he was instrumental in organizing and executing our annual state Hereford tour, in addition to presiding over the organization,” Andrew says. “To top it off, he has an extremely warm and approachable personality, complimented with a positive attitude and can-do spirit. Arlyn has never met a stranger and always has a way to make you laugh. I’m pleased to call him my friend.” Growing up on a farm in rural Clifton, Ill., Arlyn always thought his career would keep him in agriculture. He attended the University of Illinois (U of I) to study agriculture and animal science. He recalls his time spent on the livestock judging team and a couple of key individuals that made a lasting impression on him and his interest in Hereford cattle.

“My dad always had Hereford cows and he would go to Nebraska every year to get a pot load of Hereford feeder calves. I was raised with the breed, but my time as a student at U of I really helped me realize that Herefords were to stay in my life,” he says. “My judging coach was Waco Albert — a Hereford guy all the way. I also met a tall, lanky kid named George Tjardes my freshman year and his family was doing well in the Hereford business. Both of those guys made me a Hereford believer.” Arlyn wanted to start his own small Hereford herd while in college and his dad offered to take care of four Hereford heifers until he graduated. He also credits fellow Hereford breeders for helping him get started. Hereford.org

“People like George and other families in the Hereford business would own bulls in partnership with me in those early days because I wasn’t able to buy one on my own and we certainly didn’t AI [artificially inseminate] everything back then,” he recalls. “A lot of people helped me along the way and my first interest was always Hereford cattle.” George and Arlyn would go on to become lifelong friends and share moments that bring a smile to fellow cattlemen. One such experience was a time George and Arlyn drove to a sale in Missouri and made the trip back home in blizzard conditions. A stop near the state line for a quick cup of coffee would end up sending them in the complete wrong direction, literally. They were back on the road and it took a few minutes for them to realize they were headed back to Missouri. Stories like that are often what people in the cattle business will tell you they enjoy the most about raising livestock — the people and shared experiences that make life a little lighter. It is no different for Arlyn and the connections he created early on are impacting younger generations; specifically with George’s grandson, Jeremy Tjardes. “One thing that people who know Arlyn well know to be true is that if he raises a polled Hereford heifer that is good, he can’t bring himself to sell it to anyone. So, I started showing a few heifers for him. Arlyn and my grandpa always did stuff like that — help each other out and go to shows and look at cattle together. So it was fun when I became a part of it too,” Jeremy says.

Teaching Following graduation from U of I, Arlyn’s life took an interesting turn when a small school near his hometown needed capable educators and called on him to help. What was only supposed to be a year of teaching ended up being his career. Two advanced degrees later and several decades spent in education, mostly as a high school principal, Arlyn ended up fulfilling his calling working with people. “I never intended on being in education. I went to St. Pat’s for a year just to help them out, and ended up staying 14 years. Somehow I just never got back out and I decided if I was going to do this teaching thing I should probably know more about it, so I went back to school and got my masters. Then I had this idea that maybe I should be qualified to be a superintendent, just in case, even though I really had no desire to do that. I found myself back on the U of I campus to get my doctorate in education. That was hard — going to so many night classes in Champaign

while working and taking care …it’s important to show people that you’re of cattle. But I set out to do interested in them — not just yourself. something and had to finish it,” he says. — Arlyn Rabideau Arlyn reflects on his time as an educator and says it was breed in multiple ways through leadership and building relationships with students and other involvement with the state association. teachers that he enjoyed the most. “I go to a lot of events and talk to a lot of “Students teach you humility. They taught people, and they’re interested in talking to me me how much difference you can make just by for whatever reason. I think it’s important to caring about people, taking a personal interest show people that you’re interested in them — not in their success. I always worked at being able just yourself,” he says. to name every kid in the hallway. If you show Arlyn equates attending shows and sales people that you’re interested in them they will to a family or class reunion. He sees some respond positively most of the time,” he says. friends just once or twice a year, but really finds The nature of Arlyn’s role in education also value in creating connections with people and made him the disciplinarian in many cases, encourages young producers to do the same. which taught him a lot about consistency and the “Getting out and talking to people is the acceptance of rules. best way to learn about the cattle business and “In a school environment, the rules have to gauge where you’re at as a producer — how do be the same for everyone and the same every breeding decisions compare, what kind of cattle day.

Questions like that are always sure I was being fair — you can’t send people good to ask others,” he says. “You will also meet mixed messages,” he says. a lot of interesting people and it will help you get That mentality, while realized in the school headed down the path to find more customers system, applies to how Arlyn approaches the and sell some cattle.” cattle business and is recognized by others. Aside from simply attending beef industry “I’ve learned a lot from Arlyn, especially when events, Arlyn also participates by consigning it comes to working with and understanding cattle to different sales throughout the people.

He has been a mainstay in the Illinois and always has a great perspective on any Performance Tested (IPT) Bull Sale at the Illinois situation; he’ll give everyone a chance,” Jeremy Beef Expo consigning Hereford bulls for the last says. “He’s a strong believer in data, but really 16 years and will make an appearance again in wants it to be accurate.

While he enjoys spending time with people and attending events, he is also happy at home with his small cow herd. He AIs all of his cows himself and breeds for docility and performance, while paying close attention to milk and calving ease. His favorite part of raising cattle is calving season. “I like manageable, cooperative cattle and spend a lot of time with my cows. I try to AI to bulls that are respected and complement my herd. Calving season is enjoyable because I get a kick out of the next calf crop and seeing if I bought wisely on the semen market. Sometimes I make good decisions and occasionally I’ll wonder what I was thinking, but that’s part of the fun,” he says. No matter where you might run into him next, Arlyn is a man of positive impact and remains an extremely humble, kindhearted and service-oriented person.

maintain,” shares Kansas State University Agriculture Extension Agent Charlene Miller. “One of the things to keep in mind as we work through a harsh winter, is also one of the primary things our cattle need anytime of the year, and that is to keep up with our cattle’s water requirements. Even though their daily intake will go down, it is still very critical for them in order to meet their daily consumption needs. “Making sure their water tanks are open and that rivers or streams are continuously opened and water does not become stagnant in high traveled areas is very important and a good starting point when worried about herd health during the winter,” she adds. Preparing for winter is helpful, but it is not too late to protect cattle from the harsh winter environment, despite being in the heart of winter.

or many, cold winter storms merit an excuse to stay indoors, avoiding exposure to the extreme outdoor conditions. For beef producers, that luxury is not an option. To keep cattle

healthy and productive through harsh winter conditions, it is vital to establish an effective management strategy. “Herd and pasture health during the winter months is not an easy thing to

“Cold stress can become a problem very quickly as we move into more of the cold and critical winter months. For producers, I find it very important for them to be prepared and have proper shelter ready for our livestock,” Miller explains. “Cattle, like most animals, have a thermoneutral zone. While they are in this zone they do not have to use extra energy to keep their body temperature at a normal level. This zone is also where they perform at their best and are not too hot or too cold. Once cattle are below their zone levels, this can cause them to form cold stress.” In healthy cattle, the thermoneutral zone is between 32 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Cattle exposed to temperatures below this range are considered to be below their critical temperature range. When cattle have a wet or summer coat in cold temperatures, their lower critical temperature limit exists at about 59 degrees. However, if they have a dry and heavy winter coat, their critical temperature can go as low as 18 degrees. “Being aware of our conditions and our weather environment for our livestock will help any producer be better prepared for how they need to feed and care for their livestock,” Miller says. “A wet coat is going to have a higher critical temperature than a dry, heavy winter coat. A heavy winter coat will allow the cattle to stay at a lower temperature because the conditions are dry and their heavy coat will protect them from the cold wind.” Both natural and manmade shelters will help appease the overall effects a severe winter can have on cattle. Miller advises cattlemen to make proper windbreaks for their herds. “Protecting our cattle from these conditions is a great step in helping them maintain and regulate their

diet. A gradual change — changing it little by little each day — is the best bet for transitioning to the ration that you are needing to be at,” she advises. “The energy requirements are really what goes up for livestock during the winter months, not so much the protein but the energy to keep them comfortable and functioning at their best rates.” Miller suggests taking advantage of your state’s Extension agents and the tools they have available.

stagnate water or mud. “Another option, which is a great one for areas that see lots of snow, is clearing or pushing snow off the ground. If you have a tractor that has a snow blade or a bucket, using it in your pasture during the winter is great,” Miller says. “Put out dry bedding in the cleared area, such as large amounts of straw or corn stalk bales, which work great for bedding this time of the year. Having a dry base for your cattle to lie on will help reduce stress and help them maintain a dry coat, keeping them from having to shiver and use needed energy.”

Adjust accordingly Miller encourages keeping a regular schedule when checking on your herd. “Keeping an eye on your herd and checking them regularly will help you notice negative changes in their attitude, appearance and needs,” she explains. “We can visually see that cattle are cold if they are standing bunched up, or huddled in a group. This probably means that they are needing a better windbreak.” Concerns should arise over individual cattle that do not want to join the rest of the herd at the hay ring or that become standoffish. “If this is the case, I would not so much become concerned about the entire herd, but be looking at that individual’s health requirements,” Miller notes. Miller concludes that when it comes to winter and livestock, there really is not a one-stop shop or answer on how to feed, ration or shelter cattle. It all depends on the overall condition of the herd, the weather breaks that become available and, of course, the type of weather affecting your area. “Temperature fluctuations are the hardest situations for both producers and cattle to deal with,” she says. “If it would be cold and stay cold, it is a lot easier for our cattle to adjust to that temperature over time. The warm days and then the cold days with or without snow and the back and forth is not easy to manage and puts severe stress on our animals.”

Calving Central

Calving Facilties Pre-Weaning Vaccination Strategy Cold Stress in Calves Dealing with Prolapses

Calving Facilities 101 by Heather Smith Thomas

ust as herds and weather conditions vary across the country, so do calving facilities. Rightly so, because calving barns across the country serve different purposes. In rainy, wet climates, calving barns must remain high and dry. In cold, harsh northern climates, barns must provide a warm area for young calves to enter the world. Figuring out what calving facilities are best for a farm or ranch can be a difficult task, but, thankfully, there are many innovations that can help producers plan a barn scheme that is satisfactory yet practical and affordable. Depending on the needs and calving intervals of each operation, the size and complexity of calving facilities will change. If weather is mild, a simple headcatch setup for assisting the odd calving problem may be adequate. In some climates, calving barns are necessary for early calving in harsh winter conditions. Calving early in the year is a necessity for some breeders, depending on the way they market their cattle. Some aspire to market bulls as yearlings at spring sales the upcoming year while others hope to show elite cattle throughout the summer and fall. Still others calve early so they can finish calving and breed the cow herd back before turning them out to summer range. The most important factors to consider are location, drainage and ventilation — all factors that play a critical role in maintaining herd health. A calving barn needs drainage away from the building on at least a one to six slope and good ventilation to prevent respiratory problems. Ranchers may make the mistake of attempting to limit ventilation in an effort to keep out cold and to keep in warmth. Unfortunately, limiting ventilation traps warm, moist air inside and leads to ammonia buildup that irritates lungs and can cause pneumonia. It is best if a barn is situated in a somewhat protected area out of the main wind currents. A barn should be built on a welldrained site, where water will not accumulate. Avoid building in a flood plain or where surface water levels rise during wet times of the year. Some locations might be fine when the ground is dry or frozen but become swampy when ground water is abundant. Ranchers should consider a location’s conditions year-round before building. When designing a calving facility producers should determine expectations first. “If it’s just for the odd calving problem in May, that’s different than if you are calving in the dead of winter and need shelter and facilities to warm calves or pair calves up with

their mothers,” explains Steve Hendrick, DVM, of the Coaldale Veterinary Clinic, Coaldale, Alberta.

Calving barns Ranchers must be equipped with a setup to efficiently address difficult calving. Determining the size and layout of a barn depends on the herd size and the weather conditions during calving season. A good rule of thumb is to have enough room for eight to 10 cows per 100 cows during the period with the heaviest calving and the worst weather. For example, if 25 calves are expected in one day, enough shelter needs to be provided for all of them in case weather is bad. Craig Bieber, a former director of the Beef Improvement Federation and a Leola, S.D., Red Angus breeder, appreciates having running water and a warm room for cold calves or a quick nap for the calving supervisor. The Biebers clean their barn every day and change bedding. This maintenance requires a functional barn design — doors, pens and alleys need to be easily accessible and big enough to accommodate whatever machinery is used for cleaning. “It’s important to make sure you can clean the stalls or pens easily,” Bieber notes. “If it’s not easy, you may not get it done.” The Biebers also built a large barn with a loafing area that can accommodate between 50 and 60 heifers. While their cows usually calve on range pasture, the Biebers allow the heifers to calve on their own in the loafing area. “[The heifers] calve on their own in there, and generally calve a lot easier than if they were being moved around and handled or put into smaller areas,” Bieber explains. Bieber recommends leaving pairs in a barn just long enough to ensure the calf is dry and has nursed. Once this is accomplished, the pair can be moved to a larger outdoor pen for another day before going out to the pasture. In this situation, it’s best to clean barn pens or stalls daily and to clean the larger “second-day pens” about once a week. Shannon Williams, Lemhi County Extension agent in Salmon, Idaho, also emphasizes that barns must be easy to thoroughly clean. She recommends designing the surrounding pens so that one person can easily get a cow in and out of the barn. A wellplanned system of gates and alleys eliminates the need for extra people and makes it easier on the cow and the person moving her.

Building an accessible calving barn with adequate space, drainage and functionality is necessary for reducing calving risks.

If there are several people on a ranch’s calving crew, having a designated place for notes about cows in the barn is a necessity. This is especially helpful when there are shift changes between employees. “Whether you post notes on each stall, or in the warming room, your system must be functional and easy to use,” Williams says. Depending on the ranch’s calving situation and whether pairs are calving in the barn or being brought in after calving, stall size will also vary. If calving is inside, more space is typically better than less. Having adequate room reduces the risk of a cow lying tight against the wall or gate while calving, which can lead to her calf being pressed into the wall or slid into the next pen if partitions are not solid at the bottom. Stalls, partitions and gates should be user-friendly for the ranch’s cattle and methods of handling. Good lighting is also a must, and safety must be a consideration when individuals are constructing calving facilities. “Make sure that your partitions allow a person to get out,” Williams says. “If a cow knocked somebody down in the stall, there should be room to roll under the panel. If the back wall is solid, put some rails there so a person could climb up if need be, or roll under them, to get away from an aggressive cow.” Including space under each partition or at the back wall can help prevent injury if a calf is pushed under it by an aggressive cow or heifer. Ideally, the calf could not be pushed into the next pen, but just into a space under the bottom rail. If producers have to tag an aggressive cow’s new calf or disinfect its navel, they can safely handle the calf by dragging it under the panel without having to enter the stall. Furthermore, barns should be designed in a manner allowing the calving crew to get in and out without having to shovel snow or manure or break loose frozen piles. Snow coming off the roof may dump a pile in front of the doors, slowing down a crew member who might need to urgently assist a cow. “Think about doors and how to keep them free of ice and manure so they swing or slide freely. If a door is under the eaves, you may get ice on the sliding door track,” Williams notes. Ken Dunn, an Angus breeder in Tetonia, Idaho, built his own calving facility according to the needs determined by the nature of his operation. “We built a calving barn when we were calving early, and it worked well for us,” Dunn explains. “The aspect of ours that we really liked was that it stayed well-drained. For the floor, we used a type of pumice (similar to sand) that was available locally. It packs a little harder, but drains like sand. This was really nice because it was never wet.” Everything in the Dunn’s barn is on 12-foot centers for the stalls. “The barn is 36 feet wide and 96 feet long,” Dunn says. “This meant we could use standard 12-foot panels to make the calving stalls. We could make bigger stalls with the portable panels and take the panels out to use the barn for storage or machinery when we weren’t calving.” One of the 12-by-12 spaces is a vet room, where Dunn keeps veterinary supplies. The room is heated and has a refrigerator, so vaccines will not freeze in winter nor get too warm in the summer. The next two 12-foot sections are combined to make one open pen for pulling calves. The pen has a headcatch and room to store calving equipment. The rest of the building is 12-foot stalls. “I feel this is a good size — big enough that we didn’t have many problems with calves being stepped on, but small enough that it didn’t take a huge building to house as many cows as we might need to have in there,” Dunn explains. “Cows that calved at night were brought in to calve and then we’d clean the barn out in the morning,” Dunn says. “We usually only let [pairs] stay in until the calves were dry and nursed, then we’d clean the barn out and get ready for the next night—or for the day, if it was stormy.” The Dunn’s barn includes overhanging 10-foot eaves on each long side of the barn, which provide a covered place to store straw and hay. The straw is located right outside the double pen that is used as the calf-pulling stall and storage space for easier access. The Dunn’s also store some hay under the eaves but never feed much hay in the barn. “The only time we [fed hay] was if a cow had a problem and had to stay in longer than usual,” Dunn notes. “But we tried to not leave cows in the barn that long.” The barn has a surrounding pen with a water trough, straw and feed. As calves are tagged and given shots, the pairs are kicked out of the barn and into that pen and are sent to the pasture the following day. The barn is well lit, partially due to a Plexiglas window along each 96-foot side of the barn. At night the barn is lit with big, energy-saving vapor lights. Hereford.org

Portable birthing sheds For an operation that does not need a large barn, a portable calving shed can be moved to different pastures as needed. A ranch may not want permanent calving facilities, instead opting to calve on new, clean ground each year. The Canada Agriculture Research Station at Melfort, Saskatchewan, published a design for a portable shed created with a welded pipe frame (a 2.5-inch steel pipe or a 2.25-inch drill stem pipe). Skids can be made from two-by-eight lumber, logs or rough-cut lumber with two-by-sixs for uprights. A portable shed can have two or three stalls, each with a built-in pipe frame headcatch (dairy stanchion style) and a crowding gate to guide the cow into the stall. A heat lamp can be situated in the corner of each stall, if desired, behind a protective barrier so that it will not be disturbed. Propane heaters can be used if electricity is unavailable. The shed’s doors are two pieces. The top part of the door to each stall can be swung up and latched open in mild weather to let in sunshine. The bottom can be latched open when stalls are no longer needed for calving, allowing calves to enter for shelter. If a rancher wants to create an actual “barn,” two of these portable sheds can be placed faceto-face to make a small barn with an alleyway between the two sides. These sheds can be moved anywhere to provide clean, sheltered calving stalls as needed.

Portable calving sheds with a headgate are ideal for producers with fewer head to calve out.

“We have the same kind [of lights] in our shop, but it takes a while for them to fully light up,” Dunn explains. “When they do [warm up], they are very efficient and very bright. We decided they might be too bright, and might be blinding to cows coming into the barn, so I mounted them facing up so it was reflected light.” The Dunns generally leave the lights on all night. With reflected light, there are no harsh shadows and no bright spots with shadows to make cows suspicious about going into a pen. It is not as bright as some people may prefer, but the cattle are very comfortable with the subdued reflected light. Dunn admits their barn might be a bit tall. However, the barn was built tall to accommodate equipment through 12-foot doors on either end of the building. Each end of the barn has a cement apron for coming in and out. “This was the only cement we had, but it was very nice in these high-traffic areas,” Dunn says. “It never got muddy, and allowed us to grade it well, so moisture could never run into the building.”

Facilities for birthing assistance If a cow needs help, the barn needs a handy place for restraining a cow. Regardless of time of year or weather conditions, a calving barn should be stocked full of supplies for calving assistance and equipped with safe cow-handling facilities. Hendrick believes calving facilities should be set up to handle cattle quietly and safely. The first critical piece of equipment for calving assistance is a chute. The headcatch should be designed with straight sides opening all the way to the ground so that the headcatch will not put a bind on a cow’s head or neck if she goes down. If the cow lies down, one or both sides of the chute should swing away to allow access to the cow. “I also like chutes with split sides that give access to the top or the bottom for doing a C-section or taking the bottom panel away for suckling a calf,” Hendrick says. Hinged, swing-away gates can be mounted on each side of the head catch to create a “chute” to hold the cow if needed. The gates can be swung away so that she can lie down.

Cold weather is not as hard on calves as wet weather. Calves can handle very cold weather if they are dry. When temperatures hover around freezing, any snow or rain will take a toll on calves.

”

— Steve Hendrick

A concrete pad or well-drained floor is important for the headcatch area so that it does not become muddy or slippery and can be easily cleaned. Rough concrete provides traction and — if a floor drain is added — can be swept or hosed clean. Otherwise, a sandy floor with straw on top can provide cleanliness and cushion. Straw from the chute can be cleaned out and replaced after every assisted birth.

Calf shelters Once a calf is born and the pair is turned out to pasture, calves still have the same basic requirements they did at birth ¾ to remain dry and warm. Portable shelters can keep calves from becoming chilled and stressed during windy or wet weather. A three-sided structure or a half Quonset hut can work nicely if it is on skids. If the location surrounding the shed starts to get too wet or dirty, a rancher can simply move the shed to a clean location.

“Keeping those shelters high and dry is crucial,” Hendrick says. “They are often south-facing for morning sunshine. There’s often not a lot of direct sunlight in winter and days are shorter, but with sun coming into those shelters it gives calves a chance to dry out a bit.” When cattle are wet, their hair coat loses its insulating effect. Hair normally stands up with tiny air spaces between the hairs, providing excellent insulation against cold. When hair is wet, it lies flatter and loses its insulating quality. A wet calf will chill much quicker than a dry calf. If calves can get out of the rain or snow and stay off of the wet ground, they are more likely to remain healthy and comfortable. Hendrick recommends keeping shelters well bedded to keep calves off of cold and/or wet ground. He believes the most important benefit calf shelters provide is the ability to keep calves dry. “Cold weather is not as hard on calves as wet weather,” he explains. “Calves can handle very cold weather if they are dry. When temperatures hover around freezing, any snow or rain will take a toll on calves.” “Calf shelters should have adequate space for the number of calves using them,” Hendrick notes. “We always say dilution is the solution to pollution.” A Hall, Mont., veterinarian and seedstock producer, Ron Skinner, DVM, made skids and crosspieces for durable calf hutches by welding together 6-inch well casing purchased from a salvage business. “We can push or drag these shelters anywhere and they won’t break,” Skinner says. “We used vertical metal pieces and framed it with angle iron, bolted boards to that and put a metal roof on.” He used plywood for the sides, painted for weather-proofing. The metal frame keeps the shelters durable, in contrast to the wooden version his father used in the 1960s — the six-by-six boards would break as the shelters were dragged to new locations. Skinner’s hutches do not have floors, so there is no buildup of contamination inside. If one-bed starts to get dirty, he moves the building with a tractor to a new location. “The tractor I handle round bales with has two forks on the loader and I can slide those under the end of the hutch, pick it up a little and slide it in any direction,” Skinner says. “We roll a little straw off a round bale right into it for new bedding.” Some lightweight, open-sided shelters have a bar across the top so they can be picked up with a loader and moved. “You can put straw down first, then set the shelter on the straw, and later move it to a different location,” he says. “Place shelters so the open side is away from the wind. “[The shelters] need to face away from prevailing wind, hopefully to the south so the morning sun shines in,” Skinner advises. “An open-sided calf shelter must have a lot of weight at the bottom or the wind may blow it over.” As with calving barns themselves, the most important thing is to keep the shelters clean. Since calves congregate there, ranchers do not want to promote scours spreading through the group. Some enclosed shelters have only a small door, which can create a lot of recirculated air. These types of conditions may allow viruses and mycoplasma to become a problem. “If you move sheds often, you leave the mess behind,” Skinner notes. “One side of a calf shelter should be open completely, to allow warm air to get out. Then calves aren’t just recirculating aerosol droplets from each other’s breathing.” The Biebers also move and rebed their shelters regularly. They use portable A-frame structures that serve as a windbreak. Realizing their shelters will not withstand a strong wind, the Biebers try to place the structures’ backs to the prevailing wind. The long, narrow structures provide a windbreak for the cows as well as the calves, but only calves are allowed inside. “We built [the shelters] long and narrow so we can drive alongside and spread straw with our bale processor,” Bieber explains. “Some people build shelters a little deeper, but I like ours narrow enough that the cows can get their head in, look through the rails and know where their calves are.” Whether it is laying out a new calving facility, deciding which equipment is necessary for calving needs or caring for young calves on pasture, the Biebers put a great deal of effort into ensuring their calves find a healthy start within the herd. No two ranches handle calving and calf care alike, but every rancher should invest time to find a system that sets calves up for future success. Taking time to ensure calves get the right start is always time well spent.

Portable calf shelters can help producers keep calves dry and warm during harsh winter months.

Calving Facilties Pre-Weaning Vaccination Strategy Cold Stress in Calves Dealing with Prolapses

Developing a Pre-Weaning Vaccination Strategy Boost herd health and increase yearling weights by protecting calves from harmful diseases. by Heather Smith Thomas

ow-calf operations need to have a proper vaccine program to avoid serious and costly outbreaks. Research has shown preventing illnesses in young calves yields better growth rates and greater performance later in life. The best management strategies for maintaining herd health begin with early efforts at protecting cattle from diseases they may encounter throughout their lives.

clostridial diseases. Cows need to be vaccinated at the appropriate time during pregnancy to have high antibody levels included in the colostrum they produce. This “first milk” contains maternal antibodies that kick-start a calf’s immune system. Calves are prone to ingesting pathogens at birth from nursing a dirty udder or being born into a dirty environment. If a calf ingests an adequate amount of colostrum within a few hours of birth, it gains instant immunity from antibodies. However, vaccinating a calf at birth would not give its immune system time to mount a response from the vaccination, so calves depend on antibodies from colostrum to protect them immediately. Still, some farmers or ranchers encounter problems like severe scours in newborns despite administering precalving vaccinations. In such cases producers must work with their veterinarian to figure out what they are dealing with and possibly give calves an oral product at birth. If scours in young calves is a regular problem, scour vaccines can be included in a cow’s precalving vaccine protocol so that she can give the calf immediate protection.

It starts with the dam Calves need to be protected from birth through weaning — this begins with building the immunity of the dam. Precalving vaccines are an effective way to protect calves from respiratory and

Developing a timely program

Calves receive antibodies from colostrum, which build their immunity from day one.

Chris Chase, Ph.D., with the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences at South Dakota State University notes several considerations to keep in mind when setting up vaccination programs: Factors like the age of the calf, possible diseases it could be exposed to and the environment all play a key role in developing an effective plan. “The big thing is trying to match up a vaccination program with the issues you have had to deal with,” Chase says. Vaccinations are all about timing. Most calves get sick after weaning as they go into a backgrounding phase or feedlot. Timely vaccination to build immunity before calves are exposed and vulnerable to various pathogens can help, particularly in fighting Hereford.org

Standard practices David R. Smith, Ph.D., epidemiologist and beef program leader at Mississippi State University, points out many producers do not examine the reasons why they are giving vaccines, or when. “They have hands on their calves at branding, so this is usually when they vaccinate. That is not necessarily bad, but we need to think about the problems we are trying to solve,” he says. “What we accomplish by using calfhood vaccines is to stimulate some immunity to protect calves at weaning time.” Although it is best to develop a vaccination program targeting a herd’s specific needs, it is standard practice to vaccinate against clostridial diseases. Blackleg, malignant edema, redwater and gut infections caused by different types of Clostridia perfringens are all forms of clostridial diseases and pose deadly risks to calves at any age. “Calfhood diseases we see in unvaccinated calves include blackleg and some of the other clostridial diseases like enterotoxemia, and the various pathogens that cause scours, along with respiratory diseases like pneumonia,” Smith says. “Each rancher needs to tailor a vaccine program to protect against the diseases that affect calves on his or her ranch. The clostridial vaccines are very effective, and good insurance.” Respiratory diseases are also a common threat to calves. Summer pneumonia, a common respiratory illness, presents itself year-round, making it difficult to determine an optimal time for vaccination.

Clostridial diseases may vary in different regions Tom Hairgrove, Ph.D., Extension veterinarian at Texas A&M University, stresses the importance of producers sitting down with their local veterinarian to build a health plan/vaccination program appropriate for their area. “Use a clostridial vaccine that is appropriate for your husbandry practices and your locality,” he recommends. Blackleg and redwater (Clostridia haemolyticum) are common pathogens requiring vaccination. Without adequate protection, some cases of blackleg are likely to arise. “This organism is always present in the environment, but seems to go in cycles depending on what sets things up for risk and actual disease. Blackleg is usually found in calves, but can occur at any age in animals that do not have adequate immunity,” Hairgrove says. He explains, “At about 90 days of age, we recommend that all calves receive a blackleg vaccine that includes other clostridials. In South Texas, the Gulf Coast states and several other regions, many ranchers also need to include redwater in the clostridial vaccine. This can vary from ranch to ranch, depending on risks, which include liver flukes—which are spread by certain snails.” Some people think they do not have snails or liver flukes because they live in an arid region. “I practiced for a while in dry West Texas and had one ranch client where we had a lot of problems with liver flukes,” Hairgrove says. “His soil pH was alkaline and the ranch had some irrigated pasture with all the right conditions for flukes. The problem is more prevalent, however, as we get farther down along the Gulf Coast.” Tetanus is another disease to monitor. “In some areas, calves become infected with tetanus after routine castration, and if you use banding for castration, vaccination for tetanus is essential. In several regions it is wise to include haemolyticum, due to issues with liver fluke. Also make sure you booster that properly,” he says. Combination vaccines will cover most bases, but producers need to know what is in those specific combinations. An 8-way vaccine may include tetanus or haemolyticum, but not both. An 8-way vaccine can be confusing — producers should consult their veterinarian before administering anything to their calves.

off pathogens that cause bovine respiratory disease (BRD). Something to keep in mind is not to vaccinate too early. If maternal antibodies are still present in the calf, they tend to interfere with building self-immunity because the body sees no need to respond. When this temporary protection weakens after a few weeks or months, calves must build their own immunities. “When maternal antibody protection begins to wane, we can probably get good response to calf vaccinations by about three months of age,” Chase says. “It all depends on how much protection the calf received at birth. In most herds, you will not find 100 percent of calves fully protected — it is more like 70 to 80 percent.” Earlier vaccinations are becoming a norm in the industry to give calves an edge in the early stages of their lives. There are a lot of benefits from vaccinating calves while they are still on the cow. With their mothers, calves are not as stressed and can build better immunity. “Giving calves vaccinations at two to three months of age has benefits. Many calves will develop some response, though not all of them will be protected against respiratory pathogens at weaning time,” Chase says. Each calf may yield a different immunity depending on how it is able to respond to a vaccine. Most Western ranchers give calfhood vaccinations at branding. “When vaccinating calves at this age, the goal is often just to prepare them for whatever they will encounter at weaning,” Chase says. A set-up vaccination given at branding can then be boostered at weaning. If a producer wants to give a vaccination just prior to or at weaning, it is good to have this initial vaccination at an earlier age. If there are issues with bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), though, a different plan is needed rather than vaccinating at branding time. If the calf received antibodies against BRSV from colostrum, it may not gain much immunity from injected vaccine (unless it is adjuvanted) until those maternal antibodies are gone from its system. “BRSV is notorious for maternal interference that can last for a long time,” Chase notes. “Producers need a specific plan for their own situation. There are many different protocols. You might decide to give calves vaccinations for IBR/BVD at branding time, but in reality those two diseases are generally not an issue in young calves.” Some producers cannot separate the cows and calves twice. In this situation, they should get the first dose of a vaccine into calves on the day of weaning and come back with a booster afterward. Whether this approach is successful, however, may depend on how stressful the weaning program is. It may work with a low-stress method like fenceline weaning but not as well with a method requiring abrupt separation from the cow. Anything a person can do to reduce stress will help calves to mount an immune response. If producers do not give early vaccinations, most veterinarians recommend vaccinating calves two to four weeks prior to the estimated date of weaning, at which point calves can receive viral and clostridial vaccines.

“In our recent study of summer pneumonia, about one herd out of five has problems in calves on any given year,” Smith says. “Half the battle is figuring out when you can get your hands on the calves or cows to give vaccines. The other half of the challenge is determining the most appropriate thing to be doing.” Vaccination is not the only component of a prevention strategy. Smith notes it is important to address management practices in preventing outbreaks. “Make sure pairs mother up and that calves get timely and adequate colostrum intake,” he recommends. “Be cautious about introducing new cattle [and new pathogens] and also minimize opportunities for calves to share pathogens with each other.” No two ranches have the same situation. “Calving in sheds poses different risks for calfhood diseases than calving on dry hillsides or clean pastures. This is why you need to talk with your local veterinarian who knows your operation and understands your unique challenges and your own herd and management.”

Managing clostridia and summer pneumonia Clostridia is difficult to address with management because the environment is already contaminated with clostridia spores. Vaccination is imperative for protection. Clostridial vaccines will always produce a good response in young calves. The 7- or 8-way clostridial vaccine can be given at any age. “The literature tells us that if there are maternal antibodies present these might not work, but field experience shows that those vaccines definitely have efficacy even if given at a young age. This is especially true if you are looking at C. perfringens in young calves, or blackleg,” Smith says. continued on page 46...

Thus, it is important later with a booster.

It is useful to evaluate herd history regarding According to Chase, intranasal vaccines are a good option to diseases that previously affected cattle as well as the ages of cattle combat summer pneumonia, especially when BRSV is the source at the time those diseases were contracted. of the outbreak. “If there is a summer pneumonia problem, BRSV is usually the culprit,” he says. “The intranasal vaccine has the ability to get around the maternal antibodies.” There is not a specific vaccine for BRSV. Currently, only combination products containing BRSV, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) and parainfluenza3 (PI3) exist, even though at this age in calves the BRSV is the only thing to worry about.

with the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences at South Dakota State University has some recommendations based on research conducted by him and his team. Inactivated vaccines have demonstrated effectiveness within weeks. “Some of the work we have done with inactivated vaccines shows that even after one dose of vaccine, we can see that some of the T-cells are turned on within 2 weeks of vaccination” Chase says. “For instance, we see bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) antibodies coming up, even after 14-21 days, which is exciting, because we generally do not see much response when we vaccinate with just one dose of inactivated vaccine (without following with a booster). To use just one dose would be off-label, however, because we do not have enough data to say you would be safe (developing immunity) with just a single dose.” In most production schemes, it may be hard to give the calves a second dose. In this instance, producers should stick with using vaccines in which a single dose provides adequate immunity. “At this point in time the intranasal vaccine gives the most likelihood of success and the least likelihood of failure. From two weeks up to three months, this makes the most sense, particularly if you are worried about bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV). Adjuvanted modified-live vaccines, where you give a single dose, also has some usefulness, but I have not seen enough data yet in young calves. The intranasal vaccine, by contrast, has plenty of data to show that it works,” Chase says. “The data clearly shows that the intranasal vaccine works well in the face of maternal antibodies when the researchers came back and challenged those calves 60 to 70 days later — as would be the case in calves that get summer pneumonia at one to two months of age.” If producers do not see summer pneumonia or rarely see BRSV in calves before weaning, there is no reason to use intranasal vaccines; calves can probably mount immunity adequately with injectable vaccines.

Calving Central

“Studies in Scotland analyzed how long it takes a newborn calf to raise its head and rise onto its chest,” says John Campbell, DVM, head of the Large Animal Clinical Sciences Department at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, a part of the University of Saskatchewan. “That interval between birth and rising onto the chest is a good indicator of calf vigor. “If a calf takes more than a few minutes to become upright, it may be low on oxygen due to problems during birth, and is much more likely to suffer cold stress,” he continues. “You need to identify these individuals quickly. Early intervention can make sure these calves do not end up being hypothermic.”

Fighting Cold Stress in Calves Increase survival rates and prepare calves for healthier and more productive futures by identifying and assisting chilled calves at birth. by Heather Smith Thomas

he temperatures are well below zero. The ground is frozen, hard and covered with snow. Winds howl through graycolored skies. All too often, this scene is the welcoming mat for calves born during the winter months. These conditions are the perfect recipe for calves to become chilled, which can quickly become a life-threatening situation for a newborn calf. Calves that become too chilled at birth — because they are not sufficiently warm and dry or have not ingested colostrum in a timely manner — have poor survival rates. If a calf becomes chilled before attempting to suckle, it may be unable to get the teat in its mouth. If the calf fails to nurse, it does not obtain the energy necessary to keep warm or the antibodies needed to protect against disease. As the calf becomes colder, its ability to absorb antibodies from colostrum diminishes. The longer a calf is chilled, the more problems compound against its survival rate. As a result, timely identification of chilled calves is important. Once these at-risk calves are identified, action must be taken to warm them and to supply colostrum. Prevention is also key to negating risk for chilled calves.

Identifying at-risk calves Determining whether or not a calf is chilled can prove difficult. Some ranchers stick their fingers in a calf’s mouth to determine how cold it is, but Russ Daly, Extension veterinarian at South Dakota State University, recommends taking the calf’s rectal temperature with a thermometer. “It’s those borderline calves that may be hard to determine,” says Daly, DVM, DACVPM. “Any calf whose rectal temperature is below 100 degrees could benefit from being warmed or having a supplemental dose of colostrum.” High-risk calves — those who fail to get up right away or roll onto their chest immediately after birth — need to be identified quickly.

During the first two to three hours of life, calves are unable to regulate body temperature, and even a normal calf can become hypothermic quickly in cold weather. “Chilled calves are unable to get up, unable to suckle, so they don’t get colostrum — and this compounds the problem. Even if they survive, they are likely to get sick later,” Campbell says. Most problems with hypothermia occur in newborn calves, which do not have as much ability to regulate body temperature. In addition, these calves are wet and more readily chilled. “The hair coat is remarkably insulating, once it is dry. It is much harder to chill a dry calf,” Campbell explains. “But this insulating coat can be a disadvantage if the calf is already chilled. It can keep the calf cold, as well as warm. If the calf is cold, dry hair may actually thwart your efforts to warm it.” Even a normal calf can become hypothermic quickly if weather is severe. In warm weather, pairs can be allowed more time to bond and initiate nursing, but Campbell recommends intervening sooner rather than later in cold conditions. “You must be more vigilant and intervene sooner if you’re not sure whether the calf has nursed,” Campbell says. “A thermometer can help assess a calf and know if you can use a hot box or go through the effort of a warm water bath.”

Warming a calf After identifying a chilled calf, action must be taken to warm the calf. Many options exist for warming chilled calves, including warming boxes and commercial boxes. “[Commercial boxes] may be more expensive, but most of them are made from a poly type of plastic, which is easy to clean,” Daly explains. “Warming boxes made of wood work well to insulate calves, but are much harder to completely clean. Boxes should be cleaned and disinfected between calves, and wood is more difficult to sanitize.” Bacteria grow in warmth and humidity. Lack of sanitation in warming boxes increases the risk for calf scours. By paying attention to materials and design, farmers can make sure their boxes can be cleaned easily and thoroughly. Good ventilation and a way to remove humidity are necessities as well. “If [the box] is too humid, you’ll have more problems with respiratory diseases as well as a buildup of pathogens,” Daly says. Young calves are also susceptible to frostbite, which can often be reversed with warm water. If the calf has not been cold too long, utilizing warm water — not hot — helps warm the damaged tissues. “Don’t rub [the affected area] very much. Those tissues may be damaged from freezing and rubbing could damage them worse,” he says. Extremities, like ears and tails, are first to freeze. Frozen feet are a more critical issue. Most calves with frozen feet are debilitated from another condition, like scours. In this instance, the dehydrated calf has less blood flow to its extremities. Limbs become cold and more vulnerable to freezing. If a calf is sick, it is usually spending too much time lying down and may not be able to get up, move and get circulation

Any calf whose rectal temperature is below 100 degrees could benefit from being warmed or having a supplemental dose of colostrum.

Colostrum Timely ingestion of colostrum is the next important factor in equipping calves to handle cold weather. If a calf becomes too chilled before nursing, it may not absorb antibodies as readily when fed. “Any stress — whether from cold or a difficult birth — can interfere with optimum absorption,” Daly says. “If it’s a question of warming the calf or giving him colostrum first, don’t delay on the colostrum.” Daly points out colostrum is sometimes overlooked while ranchers focus on warming the calf. After working with a study in which some calves were fed colostrum and others were not, Daly saw the benefits of colostrum firsthand. “It was very obvious which calves had gotten colostrum and which ones didn’t,” Daly notes. “There’s much more to colostrum than just antibodies. It contains much higher levels of fat and protein than regular milk.” Warm colostrum helps warm calves internally. The high fat content provides energy to create body heat. Colostrum should not be too hot but similar to the cow’s body temperature (101.5 degrees). After a newborn calf gets an adequate amount of colostrum, it is able to quickly absorb the lipids and amino acids, which aid physiology and metabolism. The calf’s body does not have to burn so much brown fat to keep warm. Colostrum can mean the difference between survival and death for a young calf.

Prevention is key “Studies show that calves that have undergone cold stress are more likely to have problems with scours, pneumonia and other infections,” Daly says. Thus, it is important to try to prevent cold stress before it happens. Paying attention to cows’ nutrition precalving is important, as is watching weather predictions and making sure cows have lots of bedding and a suitable environment for calving. “If you know you’ll be having a storm or cold weather, get calving cows out of the elements and take care of any calves born outside as quickly as possible,” Daly says. “Newborn calves can handle relatively cold temperatures with no wind. But if there’s wind or precipitation with the cold, they lose too much body heat from being wet. They need to be dried as soon as possible.” A relatively warm, windy day can be deceptive. Even if the temperature is not terribly low, the wind or precipitation may chill calves quickly. The situation becomes an emergency when the chill makes it impossible for the calf to get up and nurse. Hereford.org

“I would worry more about a 32 degree temperature with wind and precipitation than a colder day with no wind,” Daly says. Late winter storms can put newborns at risk, even during spring calving. Some years, more calves are lost to bad weather during spring calving, because ranchers with spring-calving herds may not be as prepared for dealing with cold stress. Keeping calving cows out of the elements and routinely monitoring them can improve calf survival rates. While this task may be Maintaining adequate body temperature in newborn calves is critical to their health and growth. difficult for larger herds calving in a narrow interval, Daly still believes actively checking calving cows is a worthwhile effort. “Anything you can do to prevent or reduce difficult births will help, such as genetic selection for easy-calving bulls and attending [to] dystocia problems in a timely manner,” Daly notes. “There is data that shows lower survival rates in calves that had to be pulled.” Daly believes cold stress in calves may also be aggravated by nutritional issues in cows. If the cow is in poor body condition or does not have adequate protein and energy in her diet during late gestation, the newborn calf will have decreased amounts of brown fat. Decreased energy reserves leave a calf more vulnerable to chilling. When calving early, cows are generally on harvested feeds or supplements rather than green grass during the last crucial weeks of pregnancy. “It’s sometimes hard to separate out the nutritional factors and bad weather,” Daly says. These can be interrelated in causing weak calves. “In this part of the country, periods of bad weather may affect ranchers’ ability to feed the cows,” he says. “Pastures may snow under, roadways may drift shut, and in some instances, it may be impossible to take feed to the cattle. “Protein and energy are crucial, and research shows that supplying supplemental fat to cows during late gestation will help the calf be better prepared to handle cold weather. Much of what producers can do regarding cattle feeding revolves around economics and logistics — how to supply some of those ration ingredients.” Cows which receive adequate levels of protein produce a healthier fetus and a more vigorous calf at birth and have fewer calving problems. The health of a calf begins at birth. Calves born during cold winter months are susceptible to a multitude of threats. Knowing how to identify and assist chilled calves not only increases survival rates but sets calves up for healthier, more productive futures in the herd.

Weak calf syndrome Several decades ago, some ranchers with early calving herds were losing young calves to what was known as weak calf syndrome. Studies during the 1970s determined this condition was primarily an issue in calves from young cows (two- and three-year-olds) and was caused by a deficiency in dietary protein during late gestation. Beginning in 1971, a research group from the University of Idaho collected and analyzed thousands of blood and tissue samples from healthy calves and weak calves and from their dams. The research, led by Richard Bull, Ph.D., found that the weak calves — born from protein-deprived dams — did not absorb antibodies from colostrum efficiently. When these calves were stressed by cold, the duration and efficiency of antibody absorption from colostrum were greatly reduced. If the immune system of a newborn calf is already compromised because of protein deprivation in the dam, the likelihood is high for the development of weak calf syndrome. The University of Idaho researchers worked with four cooperating ranches that had a history of weak calf syndrome. These ranches varied in herd size from 150 to 1,100 cows. During the study, all four herds were fed a customized mineral supplement developed by Bull to make sure the problem was not due to a mineral deficiency. Protein levels of feeds were tested. On two of the ranches, the protein levels for young cows were increased by using higher-quality forage or a protein supplement. Weak calf syndrome was virtually eliminated on those two ranches, while incidence remained the same on the other two ranches. Bull was able to demonstrate in subsequent studies that the protein requirement of two-year-old cows in the last 45 days of gestation is 1.81 pounds of crude protein per day. As a result of Bull’s research, the National Research Council increased its recommendation for protein requirements of young cows. The general recommendation today is a diet of 7 percent crude protein for mature cows and 10 percent crude protein for young cows. January 2019 |

going. Blood perfusion to the limbs is severely compromised, and reduced perfusion can cause feet to freeze at temperatures that would not be dangerous to a normal, healthy calf. “If the calf’s temperature is between 95 and 100, this is borderline hypothermia,” Campbell says. “If his temperature is less than 95 degrees, you’ve got to quickly warm him. For calves with temperatures between 95 and 100 degrees, you can probably put them in a warm room, a hot box, the cab of your truck — anyplace warm — and tube them with warm colostrum. “The advantage of a hot box is that the air is warm and calves are breathing warm air into their lungs,” Campbell adds. “The lung surface is actually their biggest body surface, so circulating warm air in a hot box is helpful.” If the calf’s temperature is much below 95, the hot box or warm room will not help enough, especially if the calf is already dry. Hair serves as insulation; it not only keeps things hot but can also keep things cold. “I’ve put some of these calves, with temperatures down to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, or less, in a hot box and left them there for hours and they don’t warm up,” Campbell notes. “Their interior body temperature is so cold, and the dry hair so insulating, that a hot box won’t help them as much as you’d expect.” Campbell believes the fastest way to warm these calves is with warm water because the direct contact is quicker than warm air. Campbell suggests placing calves in a tub with a water temperature around 101 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the calf is in the tub, it will take effort to warm it. “You’ve put this giant ice cube in the water, and the water cools down quickly. The water must be warmer than the calf, so you have to keep changing it,” Campbell explains. “It is labor-intensive and someone needs to be there in case the calf can’t hold its head up. A big laundry tub works nicely because you can fold the calf in there with its head upright.” Along with externally warming the calf, providing energy and internal warmth is the next vital step in the survival of a young, chilled calf.

“With Safe-Guard, they bounced back like you’d just put them on feed.” ®

Eddie Parker chooses Safe-Guard® dewormer for efficacy and ease of use.

“Switching to Safe-Guard is one of the best things we ever did.”

Eddie had his first bout with resistance when he found out his endectocide dewormer just wasn’t cutting it. Two months later, his cattle were still riddled with worms. So, he treated his cattle with Safe-Guard ®. Sure enough, they bounced back. That’s because Safe-Guard ® acts fast 1 so cattle can get the most from their feed.

Calving Central

Calving Facilties Pre-Weaning Vaccination Strategy Cold Stress in Calves Dealing with Prolapses

Dealing with Prolapses by Heather Smith Thomas

rolapses pose major health and economic concerns to beef cattle producers. Treating a prolapse in a timely manner is critical to the overall health and reproductive soundness of a cow. Cows can suffer from vaginal, uterine and rectal prolapses, with the two former being most common.

Vaginal prolapses Vaginal prolapses generally occur before calving. Some cows have a structural weakness which causes part of the vagina to prolapse during late pregnancy. Most cases occur a few weeks prior to calving, when the increased size of the uterus puts pressure in the abdomen and the ligaments in the pelvic region begin to relax. When the cow is lying down (especially if her hind end is downhill), this pressure may cause vaginal tissue to prolapse. Mild prolapses, signified by a pink bulge the size of an orange or grapefruit, will usually go back in when the cow gets up. However, if she starts to prolapse each time she lies down, the tissues may be forced out to the point where they cannot go back in. Sometimes the presence of a mild prolapse will stimulate the cow to strain, making the prolapse worse and putting the tissue at risk of becoming damaged and dirty. Of utmost concern when tissues turn inside out is that blood supply is restricted, causing the tissue to swell. Swelling will continue to occur while the tissue is left outside the body, making it harder to replace. If the cow is near calving, this swelling may make the birth difficult. For these reasons, vaginal prolapses should be dealt with as soon as possible and can be managed using these guidelines: Clean. The prolapsed tissue must be cleaned and replaced and then kept in place. Restrain the cow and wash the prolapse gently with warm water and mild disinfectant before pushing it back in. Note that if a vaginal prolapse has been out for several days, the tissues may be dry and damaged and harder to clean and push back in. Stitch. Take several stitches across the vulva to hold it shut and to prevent future prolapses. Umbilical tape is less apt to pull out than suture thread. A large, curved surgical needle is best for making the stitches. The stitches should be anchored in the haired skin at the sides of the vulva. This skin is thick and tough and will not tear out as easily as the skin of the vulva. As it is less sensitive, it is also less painful for the cow when stitching. It usually takes at least three

It is very important to clean and disinfect the area to avoid infection and tissue damage.

cross stitches to keep the vulva closed safely so the inner tissue cannot prolapse if the cow strains. She can still urinate through the stitches, but the vulva will not open enough for another prolapse. Remove the stiches. If she is stitched, she must be watched closely for calving. The stitches must be removed when she starts to calve or she will tear them out or have difficulty calving. When she goes into labor, stitches can be cut with surgical scissors, tin snips, a sharp knife, etc. and pulled out gently. Monitor. After the calf is born, the vagina rarely prolapses again until the next year, when the cow gets closer to calving again. There is no need to put a stitch back in after she calves, as all of the pressure against the tissue has been relieved. Once a cow prolapses, she almost always does it again — often worse the next time — or starts earlier during late gestation. Most ranchers cull a cow once she has prolapsed. The real challenges are the rare few that prolapse sometime after calving, a situation usually associated with riding during estrus. If cattle are out in large pastures at breeding time, the vagina may be prolapsed for several days before someone notices, and it will become dry, dirty and damaged. Robert Callan, Ph.D., Colorado State University, says vaginal prolapses are a nuisance but not life-threatening. “The main thing to realize about a vaginal prolapse is that once an animal does this, she will likely repeat the problem the next year, and that there may be a genetic basis.”

Uterine prolapses While vaginal prolapses tend to occur right before calving, uterine prolapses occur right after calving and are difficult to predict. They are normally a onetime occurrence, and it is generally safe to keep a cow suffering from a uterine prolapse in the breeding herd if she rebreeds on schedule. “Sometimes there may be an underlying cause such as a mineral imbalance like low calcium,” Callan says. The cow may prolapse immediately after calving or a short time later, while the cervix is still dilated. If the cow keeps straining because of continued contractions and after pains, she may push the uterus on out. This situation can happen whether the birth was easy or difficult.

The umbilical tape stitches should be anchored in the haired skin at the side of the vulva because the skin is thicker, tougher and less sensitive.

Three cross stitches will suffice to keep the vulva safely closed. Hereford.org

The far end of one uterine horn may begin to turn inside itself, which allows the cow to push against it. To lessen the likelihood of a uterine prolapse, get the cow up as soon as possible after pulling a calf. Getting her up and moving around will usually help the uterus drop back down into the abdominal cavity and will straighten the uterine horns. Without a partially inverted horn against which to strain, the cow generally will not prolapse. If she does prolapse, the earlier the problem is detected, the better; the prolapsed organ is still clean and easier to put back in compared to trying to deal with it hours or days later. It is also easier on the cow if the organ is replaced quickly rather than after it has gotten dirty, damaged or, possibly, bruised. “The keys to successful management of uterine prolapse are early recognition, moving the cow to a sheltered environment, minimizing damage and contamination of the exposed uterus, and prompt replacement,” Callan says. Below are some areas of concern when dealing with a uterine prolapse. Cow position. “Very few producers try to replace the uterus themselves; it is challenging without the benefit of an epidural injection to diminish the cow’s straining,” Callan says. “Positioning the cow correctly is also helpful for replacing a prolapsed uterus. If her front end is pointed downhill [and not fighting gravity], this will help. We like to lay the cow down so that she is lying on her breastbone and belly, and pull her hind legs back behind her so she is ‘froglegged’ to tilt the pelvis up. At that angle she is not as able to keep pushing the uterus back out again as you work on it, with gravity in your favor.” Clean facilities. “If I am heading out to help a rancher with a uterine prolapse, I would hope the cow is moved into a sheltered area with dry ground and good bedding if at all possible. You want the area clean, with good footing. You also want ropes, hobbles and a halter to restrain the cow. I will give her an epidural, and usually an anti-inflammatory drug such as flunixin meglumine [Banamine]. Many veterinarians choose to give an antibiotic as well, since the uterus is likely to be contaminated.” Also, good supplies to have on hand for cleaning are plenty of warm water, mild soap or a disinfectant, and a large plastic garbage bag to place underneath the uterus to keep contaminants away. Callan drapes the uterus in the garbage bag.

While culling animals with vaginal prolapses is highly encouraged, females with a uterine prolapse can be retained.

replacing the uterus are due to a ruptured uterine artery, and there’s really nothing you can do for this,” Callan says. In some instances, it is not practical or feasible to replace the uterus, particularly if it is severely damaged. “In these cases, the best option might be to amputate the uterus to save the cow. There are surgical methods, and also some banding methods, similar to banding for castration. Both methods work. The banding method tends to be easier and quicker, with similar results to surgical amputation,” he says. If the uterus is not out very long and is kept clean and undamaged until it can be replaced, the cow generally recovers. If the uterus is replaced promptly, most cows that prolapse will rebreed and have no problems with the next calving. Repetition is rare.

Edema. The longer the uterus is out, the more edema (swelling) builds up in the tissues. It takes a lot of work to squeeze edema out of tissues and to push the uterus back through the pelvic canal. “Something that works to reduce edema is to apply sugar to the surface. This works as an osmotic agent to pull fluid out of the tissues and help shrink them as you are pushing the uterus back in. The high concentration of sugar on the tissue surfaces also has some antibacterial properties,” Callan explains. Staying in place. “One of the most crucial factors to ensure that the uterus stays in is to extend both horns fully to their proper position,” he says. If there is even a small tip of horn that is still inside out, it gives the cow something to push against, and she may push the uterus right back out again if she strains. “Sometimes it can be difficult to reach that far, with a long uterine horn. One thing that can help is to use a clean wine bottle to extend your reach. Some veterinarians instill an antibiotic into the uterus, but many don’t. If there’s a chance that the cow is hypocalcemic, the veterinarian will also treat her with calcium,” he says. This treatment increases uterine tone and helps minimize the chance of her prolapsing again. Oxytocin can also be administered to help improve uterine tone once the uterus is replaced. The next step is to keep the cow from pushing it right back out again. The vet may give the cow another injection of local anesthetic afterward to keep her from straining or may put a few sutures across the vaginal opening to keep the organ from being pushed out again until the cervix has contracted and there is no danger of recurrence. The stitches can be removed in a few days. Uterine damage. Whenever a uterus prolapses, there is always risk of damage to the uterine arteries. If a uterine artery ruptures or tears, the cow bleeds into the abdominal cavity. Sometimes the artery is stretched and starts bleeding again once the uterus has been replaced. “The cow could bleed out at that point. Many of the deaths that occur after Hereford.org

Think Like an

Ag Economist As an ag producer himself, ag economist David Kohl offers a real-world perspective. by Kindra Gordon

“I

think success in business today is managing the things you can manage, and then managing around the noise.” That is the advice of ag industry economist David Kohl, who has become one of the industry’s most sought-after speakers on the topics of ag business management and forecasting future trends within industries. For 25 years Kohl was a professor of agricultural finance and small business management and entrepreneurship in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va. Today, he has traveled 9 million miles throughout his professional career, conducting more than 6,000 workshops and seminars for agricultural groups of bankers, regulators, producers and agribusinesses. For nearly two decades, he has also been a partner in Homestead Creamery, a valueadded dairy business in Virginia. Kohl has a passion for the ag industry, and here are snippets of some of the things on his economist-trained mind:

Find focus. Kohl credits success to the ability to find clarity. He notes, “We are in a world that can get very unfocused, so it’s important to focus.” To that point, he shares a story about Bill Gates and Warren Buffett meeting and being asked what was the single most important factor in their success. The two gave the same one-word answer: “Focus.” Monitor trends. Kohl says there are four things he keeps an eye on to monitor the status of the economy. These are the status of the global economy, especially in emerging nations like Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa; oil prices; the US Central Bank; and the status of international trade agreements. Dramatic changes within any one of these four areas can really affect agriculture.

| January 2019

For example, the pace of global ag markets will dwindle if global economies are sluggish and the middle class ceases to expand. Ahead, he is particularly concerned about international trade policies but is hopeful now that trade talks with Canada and Mexico have resulted in an agreement. “Canada and Mexico together are bigger [for U.S. exports] than all of the Asian markets,” Kohl says.

Concerns. “I’m worried about healthcare costs,” Kohl says. “The number one reason businesses are going broke is tied to medical expenses.” He says immigration issues and the tax code are also on his worry radar, as is the stock market. What’s the holdup? According

to Kohl, economic expansion has been occurring in the past few years, but the rate of growth has been slow. Why? “To be blunt, there’s been too much regulation and it’s dragged us down,” Kohl says, adding, “The tax code is also too cumbersome.” He blames Baby Boomers for being conservative and not investing and not taking risks. “As their runway [life] gets shorter, they are thinking about their mental and physical health and running out of money. That is one of their biggest fears.” To which Kohl, who is a Baby Boomer himself, says, “You gotta live until you die.” He shares a story of a 70-year-old veterinarian who pulled his money out of the stock market. The veterinarian believed there would not be enough time to recover if the market went down. Kohl surmises, “So Boomers have all this money sitting on the side, and they are becoming extremely

conservative. That’s a major reason for our slow-growth economy.”

Interest rates. The most common question Kohl gets is about the future of interest rates. There are four factors he watches to gauge interest rate trends. These factors include the unemployment rate, consumer spending, inflation and the economic growth rate. For now the Federal Reserve is inching rates up slowly, but Kohl notes the Fed “doesn’t want to stall the economy out.” His advice to producers in running their projected financials for the coming year is: “Do a shock test and see what an increase in interest rates does to your operation’s profitability.” 40-30-30 split. To gauge how producers are doing financially, Kohl follows data on FINPACK®, a financial planning tool which compiles real data from across 13 states. The data show 40 percent of producers are doing well and considering expansion opportunities. In the middle, 30 percent of producers likely lost money three of the last four years. Then, the bottom 30 percent have losses so high Kohl says, “I’m wondering how they are making it. They are burning through their land equity.” Kohl expresses concern over credit that is continuing to be approved to this bottom 30 percent. He feels credit may keep them in business for a couple more years “so they can lose more money” before they ultimately go out of business. Sweat the small stuff. Kohl reminds producers to be judicious in their financial management and record keeping, as well as to keep family living expenses modest. He notes “sweating the small stuff” is often what sifts successful producers to the top. He also encourages producers to work “side by side” with their lender and accountant or financial planner. “That’s important in any economic cycle, but especially this one.” Using a sports analogy and coaching advice from a former coach, Kohl notes in basketball 95 percent of the time the ball is not in a player’s hands. “It’s about what you do away from the ball, so when it is in your hands you can do something with it,” he says. “In farming and ranching, spend time on financial management.” Hereford.org

Hereford Mom Diaries

This One’s for You, Dad He chose show day of the North American to take his final breath. Fitting, as it was his favorite show of all. He used to say, “There’s just something about those green shavings.”

Truth From what we were told, a few moments of silence were taken during the shows in the days that followed. Judges mentioned his name and the influence he had on their lives as they gave their championship drive speeches. Some needed a moment outside the barns to gather themselves after they heard the news before they began fitting that day. His casket was branded with his C-Bar brand by his closest friends, and my brother led a riderless horse, with his saddle and boots, following the car carrying him to his final resting place. There were some trucks and trailers in the church parking lot loaded with

cattle from Louisville. One even had a national champion bull onboard. A few cattlemen brought green shavings for him to have by his casket. When he was buried, some close friends, my brother and my son, Nolan, sprinkled those shavings onto the casket before he was lowered into the ground. I have been blown away by the messages and stories and outpouring of love and support we have been shown in the past few weeks. To many, he was a mentor. Some have called him a legend. Everyone called him “friend.” But to me? He was simply “Dad.” Nearly everyone who knew him has a story to share about “Couch,” as most in the cattle business called him. If you didn’t know these stories were true, you wouldn’t believe them. They may be embellished a bit, but they’re true,

| by Christy Couch Lee nonetheless. I love hearing these stories — even more now than ever before. It brings me such joy to see our cattleloving 10-year-old son, Nolan, light up and hang on every word that’s said. Some stories need to be saved for when he’s older, though. But above all, the memories of Bill Couch as “Dad” are what bring me the most comfort these days. He was the strongest man I ever knew. As a child I thought he could do anything. He never shied away from hard work, and he was out in the fields and working cattle from sunup to well past sundown every day. I always felt safe and protected with those arms around me. In the past few years, when he succumbed to being bedridden in the nursing home from multiple sclerosis, he was still the strongest man I ever knew. Just in a different way. He rarely complained about pain or the situation. And the pain was tremendous. But he had every nurse, staff member and laundry worker laughing. And when he passed? There was a line out his door of those workers wanting to say a final “goodbye.”

His life He didn’t care about money or status during any point of his life. Sure, he could visit with the big-money investors of the ranches he managed. But he was just as comfortable — maybe even more so — visiting with the feed man who was making a delivery. And he carried that through to the end. Dad never cared about fancy things. Just ask his friends — he didn’t really

care about vehicles, and you probably didn’t want to ride in a truck he was driving. When I was a kid, we would get many a show meal from a fast food line or the gas station near the hotel. “You can get just as full from a gas station as you can from a restaurant.” One friend brought him a Snickers bar and a Mountain Dew to take with him as he was buried. To him? That was the meal of kings. Some would say he reached the pinnacle of success in the cattle industry by all measurable standards. He judged nearly every well-respected national cattle show. He was at the halter for countless national champions. He led several well-respected cattle operations. But he wasn’t seeking the acknowledgement or accolades. He simply found his passion and went after it. And he brought his friends with him. Dad was never afraid to bring along a young person with a passion for cattle. He could see that spark in someone, and he gave many the chance to learn and to grow with him. Just like he did with those guys and gals — he allowed me to learn from my mistakes. That’s where the greatest lessons come from. Writing this editorial has been one of the greatest challenges I’ve ever faced. How do I sum up all that my dad has done for me in just a couple of hundred words? And what will I do with that? So, Dad. Here’s what I plan to do. I will honor your memory by sharing stories with our kids about you. I will always think of you when I two-step with my husband, Craig — because you were so light on that dancefloor, and I learned it from you. I will always pack a jacket to any cattle show I attend. Because even at the state fair in August, you just might need it. I will keep that stubbornness that I got so generously from you. (Sorry, Craig. You’re stuck with it.) I will love your momma, as you did for all those years. And I will take care of her, as I promised. If I’m going to be dumb, I’ll continue to be tough. I learned that from you, and my clumsy self repeats it often. I will continue to chase my passions. And I will be the greatest cheerleader for our kids — your grandkids — as they do the same. Someday, when Nolan has a couple of purple banners on his wall, he will know that “Papaw” was on his crew. You know, I just might eat a welldone steak every once in a while, because that was the only way you would eat one. And you’re the only cattleman I know, other than my brother, who does that. On second thought, as much as I love you, I just don’t think I can stomach it. Maybe I’ll just stick to your second favorite meal, and have a Ding Dong and a Mountain Dew instead. I’ll love you forever, Dad. You are oh-so missed. Christy Couch Lee is a freelance writer from Wellington, Ill. She can be reached at christy@ceeleecommunications.com.

Beef Talk

| by Kris Ringwall

The Challenge of Managing Human Resources Having the right team is critical to the success of the cattle operation. A major challenge to beef production is finding the right labor force with training, knowledge and common sense. Factors such as pay, time and place are important and, yes, the beef production business has many discussable points. But the bottom line is having the right team is critical to the success of the day’s desired outcomes. Managers are challenged every day to interact and to engage with those who work for them to meet the day’s predetermined goal. Cattle operations do not often have human resource departments to assist with finding the right team members. That task generally is relegated to the manager. I am not an expert, but allow me to share some “in-the-field” management training perceptions. One key is being positive and remembering what we can do, not what we can’t do.

Manager qualities Of paramount importance is management presence, which is necessary in serving and assisting the team. People prefer consistent, predictable expectations within their daily life, at work and at home. Managers need to be present, displaying consistent, predictable actions that make those they supervise relaxed and comfortable.

Jumping through hoops, opening opportunities in situations that seem stagnant, shifting excessive burdens or simply adding words of encouragement to move forward allows growth. Another important factor is risk. Employees need an assurance that if they take a risk, they still have a supportive network behind them. Growth requires risk. However, people can become too complacent. A manager must know when congratulatory, appreciative praise is appropriate versus the occasional tap indicative of decreasing or mediocre work performance. All people have the capacity to excel in their job within their own capacity to perform. As a manager, appropriate acknowledgment must occur, regardless of perceived job importance or ranking. Productive efforts will succeed quicker from a strong, broad base within a wellfocused team. Acknowledging the base is critical. Not all people are congenial toward co-workers. Invariably, a negative personto-person interaction within the work environment arises. The manager must understand how these relationships develop and why the situation persists and then take the appropriate action, which could mean seeking outside advice and professional help.

Managers must be prepared to deal with crises, which occur even with excellent managerial processes. An appropriate assessment, evaluation and implementation of a response plan must occur with timely decisions and follow-up actions. All crises must eventually lead to preventive programs when feasible. Being a leader who listens, evaluates and responds is critical in a managerial role. Managers must maintain an adequate working knowledge of the disciplines they supervise to redirect or to reinspire employees successfully. Today’s mangers must be fiscally savvy. The world still functions on money, and without money, even the best ideas wither. Appropriate fiscal management teams must be developed and utilized to assure a broad-based, thorough review of all aspects of management. They must be a reflection on what life means and how we live. We each have an obligation for the future and are called to look for hope and inspiration. Leadership allows a self-determining planning process to focus on what we truly seek, which is a future that does not jeopardize future generations. Managers are challenged to use present resources to move forward and opportunistically impact the future through leadership and service. Preparation and consensus building

within the many choices are critical. Managers need to look to the future and give witness to the determination of a successful future. Challenging conventional thinking will also aid in propelling a team forward. A new consensus can turn the fork in the road into multiple options that enrich our spirituality, create viable communities and sustain individual lifestyles within various environments.

It takes a team In summary, following lessons learned in biosecurity and crisis management, one person can hold only seven balls; the eighth ball always will fall to the ground. Management is no different; one person can only do so much. The key to success is knowing when someone is handing you the eighth ball. Oftentimes, as a manager, the response is, “I will do it myself!” Unfortunately, such a response only results in a tired manager at the end of the day and a less responsive team tomorrow. The bottom line is people are people. People do not come with a set of instructions, yet their capacity to learn is exponential. Harnessing that goodness for the betterment of the whole is the heart of every good manager. Yes, the cows are important, but remember, people come first.

Add Value to Market Cows and Bulls The value of beef ultimately determines the long-term stability of the cattle operation. Preparing to market cows and bulls is a timeless function of beef operations. Individual producer goals determine how many cows will remain in the herd and how many will shift to the market column. The resulting two numbers — market cow rate and replacement rate. Managers match cattle numbers to given resources. The numbers are the foundation to expanding and/or contracting herd numbers. Let’s take a closer look at these two numbers, but keep in mind “market cow rate” is a better term for culling rate. The current benchmarks for market cow and replacement rates are 13.2 and 14.9 percent, respectively. Since 2000 the greatest yearly market cow rate was 16.7 percent, and the lowest was 9.7 percent. The greatest yearly replacement rate was 17.1 percent, and the lowest was 13.1 percent. That said, cattle herd inventories vary by adding or subtracting cows. These inventory numbers rise and fall through good markets, poor markets, good feed, poor feed and events that affect herd management. If the two rates are about the same, the cow herd is stable. If the market cow rate is greater than the replacement rate, the cow herd is reducing inventory. If the cow herd

| January 2019

is increasing in cow numbers, the replacement rate should be more than the market cow rate. This process is not much different from driving on a four-lane road, a two-lane road or a gravel road. The expectations of the cow herd are a constant balance of situations, resources and time. When everything lines up, just like driving the four-lane road, accomplishments are achieved. Some years, gravel is good, and the course is slowed down a bit. Either way, every year, cattle producers need to market older and unsound cattle. In preparation for that shift, as well as management during the marketing process, beef producers need to recap the year’s production and to review their marketing strategies. An excellent document to review and ponder is a publication titled 2016 National Beef Quality Audit – Market Cow and Bull Executive Summary, published by the Cattlemen’s Beef Board and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. Six areas of focus were listed as follows:

• Ensuring food safety, as it has

become the most important factor to those who purchase beef. • Appropriately managing cull cows and bulls to increase muscle condition before harvest.

• Marketing animals before physical

defects are too severe and cause animal welfare concerns or carcass condemnations. • Seeking to better understand causes of liver abscesses, the leading reason for liver condemnation. • Implementing measures to eliminate carcass bruising on the farm, in transport and at the harvest facility. • Reducing defects as quantified in “lost opportunities” to allow the cow and bull industry to capture additional value.

As a reminder, the 2007 report had different conclusions, but they are still important. Those conclusions were as follows:

• Reduce the use of electric prods

and other aggressive driving aids when moving cattle. • Improve footing so cattle don’t slip and injure themselves. • Follow the guidelines for animal care and handling. • Market your cattle before they become too thin or too lame for transport. • Maintain record-keeping systems to verify your “best” management practices and reduce or eliminate potential for liability surrounding issues of food safety. • Recognize and optimize the value of your market cows and bulls. Cows and bulls comprise a significant portion of

your farm or ranch income so they need to be managed and marketed in ways that add value — not subtract from it. • Ensure the safety of your product. Cows and bulls must be free of chemical, pathogenic and physical hazards when you ship them for harvest. • Continuously monitor herd health. It’s in your best interest to observe the health of your cow herd and to ensure your market cows and bulls are marketed in a timely and appropriate manner. • Prevent quality defects. Preventable defects include bruises, injection-site lesions, improperly placed brands, dark cutters and cattle that are too thin, too fat or have inadequate muscling caused by emaciation.

The cattle business exists to produce beef and other byproducts for human consumption. The value of beef ultimately determines the long-term stability of the operation. As cattle producers, a primary goal needs to be to increase the value of market bulls and cows. Kris Ringwall is a beef specialist at North Dakota State University Extension Service.

Our livelihood depends on offering bulls/ females to the commercial cow-calf customer. Our bulls are built on the tenets of profitable cattle production: fertility, calving ease, growth, carcass merit and sustainable cow size with longevity. We recognize that cattlemen have many choices of breeds and breeders to source their input genetics from. To compete in the commercial cow-calf world, our bulls are genetically designed, environmentally pressured and finally selected to be profit leaders. Hereford.org

In the News Major buyers will require BQA certification in 2019 Effective Jan. 1, major U.S. purchasers including Cargill, Tyson and Wendy’s will only source cattle from feedyards

with a valid Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) certification. It is expected other buyers will follow suit. According to its website, the BQA program is a nationally coordinated, state implemented program that provides systematic information to U.S. beef producers and beef consumers of how commonsense husbandry techniques can be coupled with accepted scientific knowledge to raise cattle under optimum management and environmental conditions. BQA guidelines are designed to make certain all beef consumers can take pride in what they purchase — and

21 HEREFORD & 11 POLLED HEREFORD CONSIGNED

can trust and have confidence in the entire beef industry. To learn more, visit Bqa.org.

NCBA hails congressional approval of 2018 Farm Bill National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) President Kevin Kester issued the following statement regarding U.S. House and Senate passage of the 2018 Farm Bill conference report on Dec. 12: “America’s cattlemen and women want common sense and certainty from Congress this holiday season and throughout the year — today they received that through the passage of the Farm Bill. Certainty that a Footand-Mouth Disease vaccine bank will be authorized and funded. Certainty that important conservation programs will be reauthorized and funded. And certainty that trade promotion and access to foreign markets will remain a priority in the years to come. “On behalf of all of our producers, I want to sincerely thank every Member of Congress who supported the Farm Bill — especially U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts, Ranking Member Debbie Stabenow, U.S. House Agriculture Committee Chairman Mike Conaway and Ranking Member Collin Peterson, who all worked together across party lines for the past two-plus years. It wasn’t always easy, but we truly appreciate all your hard work.”

New water rule a “Fresh Start” for cattle producers NCBA President Kevin Kester released the following statement Dec. 11, 2018, in response to the Trump Administration’s announcement of a new proposed water rule: “After years of uncertainty stemming from the 2015 WOTUS rule, the Trump Administration’s new water rule represents a fresh start for America’s cattle producers. NCBA advocated for a new water rule that is easy to understand and implement. The Administration listened.

Have You Heard the Secret?

Hereford breeders across the country are getting the word… Flat Stone Lick cows are building cow families in successful breeding programs. Things are happening so rapidly that it takes critical thinking to breed cows. We work hard to get everything we can out of our cows with responsible, informed breeding decisions and proper oversight of their development. This allows us the satisfaction of seeing the fruits of a good breeding program that go on and prosper in the herds of others. There, cow families are built on our genetics. They endure and make great strides in improving their new owners’ herds. They leave a lasting legacy.
