Standing Out From the Herd

Wobig Ranch, Merriman, Neb., seeks the qualities of the F1 red baldy cross to build an elite herd of replacement heifers. by Diane Meyer

raveling due west along Highway 20, minutes south of the South Dakota border and just west of Valentine, Neb., the clock resets to Mountain time. Cattle dot the grassy hillsides, and it seems every other vehicle traveling along this twolane stretch of the coast-to-coast highway is a hauler with a trailer full of stock. Just outside Merriman, Neb., population almost 150, Shane Wobig and his wife, Heather, their son, Austin, and Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancĂŠ, Myriah Fauber, operate Wobig Ranch, a commercial cowcalf operation home to 500 Red Angus mother cows and, most recently, 22 Hereford bulls. The Wobigs purchased this piece

of ranching oasis in 2007 after moving back to the area from Wyoming, adding it to the land already belonging to the family. Along with their spring-calving cow herd, the Wobigs grow hay on the productive subirrigated meadows of the Nebraska Sandhills. In mid- to late-June, while cows are out to pasture, the Wobigs start prepping for hay season and use the harvest to feed their own herd and also custom hay for a neighbor and another area rancher. A self-explanatory monomer, the Nebraska Sandhills is a region of grass-covered sand dunes sitting atop the Ogallala Aquifer. With an almost nonexistent static water level, this 174,000 square-mile continued on page 20...

Breed Focus

Striving to Serve

by Jack Ward

See how the AHA is providing producers the tools to benefit all sectors of their business.

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

With the holidays behind us, it is time to focus on the 2020 calving season, marketing and breeding. For seedstock breeders, marketing will center on bull sales, and commercial cow-calf producers will focus on marketing feeder calves or perhaps looking at retaining ownership. Marketing is such a big part of making an operation profitable, but it seems to get less attention in most programs. Read more about the following tools the American Hereford Association (AHA) provides to help all segments of your business.

Whole Herd Reporting The AHA provides significant breed improvement tools for both seedstock and commercial producers to make reliable decisions for traits of economic relevance. Those tools include Whole Herd Reporting and genomics that combine to form one of the industry’s most robust genetic evaluations. Currently, the AHA releases weekly results to the genetic evaluation, so producers have the most current information readily available. In addition to genetic evaluation tools, the AHA has the strongest young sire test evaluation program, and this program proves young sires in a structured program.

Searchable EPDs As marketing platforms continue to evolve, the AHA continues to update tools for all sizes of operations and types of producers. As a guest user on the AHA’s expected progeny differences (EPDs) search engine, you can search the AHA database for animals which fit the needs of your program. This data includes both pedigree and performance information. Authorized users gain more access to progeny and herd information. Besides the searchable database, the AHA developed an online sale catalog platform, Herefords On Demand, which allows you to search and to study both private treaty and production sales. These catalogs are unique because they have the most accurate pedigree and EPD information available.

The Premium Red Baldy program is gaining attention as producers see the benefits of heterosis in building a strong commercial cow. The Red Angus Association of America and the AHA continue to work together to provide a marketing and genetic improvement opportunity from the two breeds with mandatory Whole Herd Reporting to build a red baldy female that is revered as an aniaml suitable in all environments.

Hereford-influenced opportunities

The AHA has really strived over the last few years to develop commercial programs to help market seedstock and commercial cattle. Most recently, the AHA has developed a relationship with IMI Global to make the Hereford Advantage a source and age program with a health, genetic and Beef Quality Assurance component, allowing producers to add value to a calf crop.

The AHA continues to build relationships with industry partners to help identify and to create marketing opportunities for Hereford-influenced cattle. Multiple Hereford-influenced feeder cattle sales around the country allow producers of all sizes to join with others to provide load lots demanded by feed lot operators. Moreover, the AHA is developing relationships with private entities to find additional opportunities for producers to market load lots of calves. Stay tuned for more information. The AHA will continue to provide the tools for members and commercial producers to make informed and documented decisions that allow for added value in all sized programs. Happy New Year to everyone, and we look forward to a great 2020.

Performance Matters

Adding Pounds, Fertility and Efficiency

by Shane Bedwell

The documented advantages of the baldy female will improve your bottom line.

Shane Bedwell is the chief operating officer and director of breed improvement of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at sbedwell@hereford.org.

I hope 2020 is off to a great start for each of you. This time of year one can’t help but think about new goals and ways to improve their operation. A good place to start is to look at where an operation can be more efficient to reduce inputs and to generate more revenue. The American Hereford Association (AHA) continues to document the value of Hereford genetics in the marketplace as a source for profit and sustainability. Many of these studies using commercial herds show the value of direct and maternal heterosis. Most recently, researchers at Oklahoma State University (OSU) published some cow efficiency work validating the efficiency that Hereford genetics bring to a black cow herd. Dave Lalman, Ph.D., and his team of OSU researchers found baldy females showed a 0.5 higher body condition score (BCS) throughout the trial. During the trial, baldy females also consumed less pounds of voluntary forage intake — 2 pounds less per day, actually — when compared to the straightbred black female. These values may not seem dramatic on

paper, but on an annual feed cost basis those efficiencies add up to $50 in savings on annual feed costs per female. A direct comparison of feed efficiences in a black baldy cow compared to a straightbred black cow are shown below in Table 1.

Longterm advantages The power of fertility in the baldy female is undeniable. Research at Harris Ranch in California and Circle A Ranch in Missouri show the obvious benefits in favor of Hereford-sired calves and females alike. Table 1: OSU research in cow efficiency Straightbred black cow Body condition score Dry matter intake Annual basis (lb.) Annual basis (tons) Annual hay cost ($125/ton)

5.5 30 lb./day 10,950 lb./year 5.5 tons/year $688

Again, these advantages may seem minor, but when applied to a 1,000-cow operation they can add up to more than $100,000 in additional revenue over a 4-year span. A full breakdown of the benefits of a crossbreeding program are detailed in the sidebar below. There is a reason why the Hereford breed settled the West. The advantages are undeniable — don’t you think it’s time to “Come Home to Hereford?”

Black baldy cow 6.0 28 lb./day 10,220 lb./year 5.1 tons/year $638

Hereford advantage: $50 savings Lalman's research allowed for the following assumptions: 1. On average, baldy cows had a 0.5 higher body condtion score than straightbred black cows. 2. On average, baldy cows consumed 2 pounds less of voluntary forage intake per day than straightbred black cows.

Study the data, count the dollars Research in real-world production settings consistently documents the advantages of adding Hereford genetics to a black cow herd. The Harris Ranch heterosis project in California and the Circle A Ranch in Missouri both found baldy calves outperfomed straightbred black calves. In these studies, baldy calves

Hereford advantage Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Total

Steer revenue $14,400 $12,960 $20,944 $33,952 $82,256

Cull heifer revenue $5,394 $4,850 $7,700 $14,087 $32,031

consistently weighed 15-20 pounds heavier at weaning compared to their straightbred black counterparts and baldy females showed a 7% higher pregnancy rate when compared to straightbred black females. When these truths are applied, the dollars add up. When applied to a 1,000-head black cow herd, Hereford genetics

Total revenue $19,794 $17,810 $28,644 $48,039 $114,287

can generate nearly $115,000 in additional revenue after just four years. This is due to the fact that you are getting more females bred, which in return gives you more pounds to sell. See the tables below for a full breakdown of how Hereford genetics add value to a straightbred black herd.

Asumptions:

1. Baldy calves weigh 15-20 pounds heavier than straight black calves a. Weaning weight (WW) of straight black steers is 550 pounds and WW for crossbred steers is 570 pounds b. WW of straight black heifers is 500 pounds and WW of crossbred heifers is 515 pounds 2. Calf price used was $1.60/cwt. for steers and $1.45/cwt. for heifers 3. Baldy females had a 7% higher pregnancy rate than straight bred females

In year one, the advantages of crossbreeding are apparent in total dollars generated in steer and cull heifer revenue because baldy calves have a heavier weaning weight. Year 1 Production scenario

Designed to identify superior Hereford-influenced feeder cattle, the Hereford Advantage program now offers additional benefits to add value to feeder cattle. With these enhancements, cattlemen using Hereford bulls can provide value beyond genetic merit through health and management practices. New components of the program are backed by documented market price advantages, giving producers a great opportunity to increase their bottom line. Established by the American Hereford Association (AHA), this tagging program is now offered in conjunction with IMI Global, an industry-leading source for third-party verification of food production practices in North America. “The Hereford Advantage program serves as a valuable tool for commercial cattlemen using Hereford bulls to set themselves apart in a competitive market,” says Trey Befort, AHA director of commercial programs. “Cattle feeders are looking for healthy cattle that have been managed properly and that will perform in the yard and on the rail. The Hereford Advantage program helps to identify cattle that will check those boxes and reward producers who are working to do so.” Requirements include: Source and age (required IMI base verification) Genetic merit Minimum of 50% Hereford genetics Bull battery ranking in top 50% of breed for CHB$ profit index (bull battery average) Bull ownership transferred (all bulls) Vaccination program Two rounds of preweaning vaccinations (minimum) BQA certification Visit, BQA.org, to become certified To be part of the Hereford Advantage, download the enrollment form at HerefordAdvantage.com and submit the completed form to IMI Global. Program cost is $3.00/head (no minimum enrollment required), which includes verification and program electronic identification (eID) tag costs. Additional programs offered through IMI Global such as the NHTC (Non-Hormone Treated Cattle) & VNB (Verified Natural Beef) programs can be added with just an on-site audit fee plus travel expenses. During the enrollment process, an expected progeny difference and profit index summary for the submitted bull battery will be developed and provided to producers, allowing them to track genetic merit to make future selection decisions. Participating producers will also receive additional marketing support and exposure through this program. Qualifying cattle will be listed on the AHA’s feeder cattle listing page and cattle information will be communicated to a growing list of interested feeder cattle buyers. Hereford.org

MyHerd Tips, Tricks and Tools

by Laura Loschke

With the revamp of MyHerd, do not forget to use the helpful tools you have at your fingertips. I know sometimes we get caught up in everything we have to do, like registrations and transfers, which leads to forgetting about the unique additional tools MyHerd provides.

Notable tools One of the helpful features is your list of available artificial insemination (AI) certificates. At any time, you can log in to your MyHerd account, hover over

the Herd Details tab and then select AI Certs Available. This list will show you any available AI certificates you have in your account. It will list the bull’s name and registration number, as well as the number of certificates you have for that particular bull. Another valuable tool is the Personal List, located under the Actions menu, which lists breeders you made transfers to or received transfers from over the last three years. It provides the person’s name or farm/ ranch name, address, phone number

and email address (if available). This list is downloadable, allowing you to save it as well. Remember, you always have access to the Expected Progeny Difference (EPD)/Animal Search function through MyHerd. Simply hover over the Links menu tab and then select EPD Enquiry. This tab will take you to the Enhanced User screen, where you can search for animals and/or members within the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) database.

If you have linked accounts, you have the ability to view those linked accounts as well as to renew annual dues and/ or to bill the annual member service fee. To do so, hover over the Member Details menu tab, select Member Dues & Service Fees. This screen will list any of your linked accounts as well as your primary account and the particular account that needs dues renewed or the member service fee billed. If an account or accounts need to be renewed or billed, simply click on the account (the entire line will become highlighted in blue), depending on if the account needs dues renewed or the service fee billed will determine which button becomes clickable. Click on the corresponding button to renew the membership dues and/or to bill the member service fee. Another great tool within MyHerd is the ability to run your potential defects carrier report by hovering over the Jobs & Reports menu tab and then selecting Submit a Job. On the Make a Report screen, select Potential Defect Carriers from the drop-down menu. On the next screen, you have the ability to run the report based on an inventory year, a calf crop year or a specific animal’s ID. Once the report is completed, you can view it by going to the View Reports & CSVs option under the Jobs & Reports menu. In addition, you always have the ability to pay your AHA or Hereford Publication Inc. (HPI) bill through MyHerd. Remember, if you are a MyHerd user, you will no longer receive packing slips or monthly statements in the mail. They will all be emailed once you are signed up for MyHerd and also include any work done through HPI. To view or pay your HPI bill, hover over the Transactions tab, select Previous HPI Transactions. This step will show you any packing slips created due to HPI work done. You have the ability to click on any of those packing slips to see the specific work completed. You also have the ability to pay your HPI bill on this page. As always, if you are having problems navigating through MyHerd you can view the MyHerd Help pages, view our more than 20 step-by-step tutorials or call Customer Service at 816-842-3757.

Friendly reminders If you have not signed up for the new updated MyHerd platform, email your membership number to myherd@hereford.org. Be sure to get your spring 2020 inventory submitted before Jan. 15 in order to receive the $0.25 per head discount. Any inventories turned in between Jan. 15 and March 1 will receive the regular inventory pricing. Spring 2020 inventories turned in after March 1 will incur the $2.00 per head surcharge.

Commercial Connection

Aim to Add Value in 2020

by Trey Befort

As we begin a new year and pursue a fresh start, I am excited about the opportunities for commercial producers taking advantage of Hereford genetics in their operations. With a challenging 2019 year behind us, I think it is a great time to take a hard look at and to consider new opportunities that are available to add value in the years to come. One new opportunity that rises to the top is the newly updated Hereford Advantage program.

Hereford Advantage revamped The Hereford Advantage program was initially developed in 2016 as a marketing tool to identify highquality Hereford-sired feeder cattle strictly based on genetic merit. With a marketplace proven to be as competitive as ever and a buyer base that continues to demand increased genetic quality as well as improved health and management practices some enhancements have been made to the program to answer those calls.

Cattlemen using Hereford bulls can now provide value to the marketplace beyond genetic merit through health and management practice documentation and verification. Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) certification has been included as one of the program components. BQA continues to be an industry leading program that provides marketplace value as well as added buyer and consumer confidence. The informational guide included on this page outlines the

general program requirements and guidelines to participate.

Additional verification With the addition of new program components, the Hereford Advantage program is now a third-party verified program, and we are excited to have a partnership and cooperative effort with IMI Global for the verification component. IMI Global is an industryleading source for third-party verification and specializes in verification and certification programs for the livestock industry to enable producers, feeders, growers, packers and processors to meet the ever-changing needs of both domestic and international consumers. Additional programs offered through IMI Global, such as the Non-Hormone Treated Cattle & Verified Natural Beef programs, can be added to the Hereford Advantage program with just an on-site audit fee plus travel expenses. These programs have also provided a documented price advantage in the marketplace and are worth considering if the requirements align with the goals and management practices of the operation.

Specifics and qualifications Participation in the Hereford Advantage program is simple and straightforward. To get started, visit HerefordAdvantage. com to download the enrollment form to complete and submit with required documentation to the IMI Global team. The cost to participate in the program is $3.00 per head (no minimum enrollment required), which includes verification and program electronic identification tag costs. During the enrollment process, an expected progeny difference and profit index summary for the submitted bull battery will be developed and provided to producers, allowing them to track genetic merit to make future selection decisions. Participating producers will also receive additional marketing support and exposure through this program. Qualifying cattle will be listed on the American Hereford Association’s Feeder Cattle Listings web page, and cattle information will be communicated to a growing list of interested feeder-cattle buyers. The Hereford Advantage program serves as a valuable tool for commercial cattlemen using Hereford bulls to set themselves apart in a competitive market. Cattle feeders are looking for healthy cattle that have been managed properly and that will perform in the yard and on the rail. The Hereford Advantage program helps to identify cattle that will check those boxes and reward producers who are working hard to produce them.

CHB Bites

CHB Partners Conclude a Successful 2019

“CHB Bites” is a column designed to keep you in-the-know about the Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) program. To get involved with CHB on social media, search Certified Hereford Beef on Facebook and Pinterest, @certifiedherefordbeef on Instagram and @crtherefordbeef on Twitter.

CHB garners rave reviews at Kohl Wholesale food show Certified Hereford Beef ® made a splash at the fall “MagiKohl” food show, welcoming more than 3,000 Kohl Wholesale customers to Quincy, Ill., with a presentation and tasting of new value-added items under the CHB branded product line. Certified Hereford Beef is the premier protein offered by Kohl Wholesale, with a broad portfolio of products that the foodservice distributor provides to restaurants, hotels and other entities in the hospitality industry within their distribution area. The Certified Hereford Beef team launched a new line of fully cooked products produced by Hudson Meat Co., including pot roast, prime rib and a full line of deli meats consisting of roast beef, corned beef and pastrami. “The response from Kohl Wholesale customers and employees was amazing,” says Dan Emmenegger, Hudson Meat Co. owner and president. “When you have great raw materials like CHB to work with that allows my team to make great value-added products, it’s a win for everyone. With the support of the Kohl Wholesale team and their customer base, we are going to see some good things happen with the CHB prime rib, pot roast and deli meats.” Ty Ragsdale, Certified Hereford Beef brand manager, was also on hand to speak with customers and to assist with the launch of the new products. Ragsdale works closely with the Kohl Wholesale sales team calling on accounts in the

market to help create brand awareness and demand for the brand. This is only one of the many services the CHB team provides to their partners in the industry to further market and educate them about the value the CHB brand and the Hereford breed has to offer. “We sampled a variety of CHB products at the show and the response was tremendous,” Ragsdale says. “We are seeing significant growth with our valueadded lines. It is important as a brand to offer a variety of items to target all segments of the foodservice industry and allow the consumer to have a great eating experience while helping the restaurateur to be profitable.” Kohl Wholesale has been a valued Certified Hereford Beef partner for more than 10 years and services customers across Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.

Northeast Elite Sale CHB meal success When John and Kathy Wagner planned their annual Northeast Elite Hereford Sale, they knew they wanted their customers to have a memorable experience — from the cattle to the meal. Their solution was serving their own product. The Wagner’s Certified Hereford Beef provided their customers with the best beef available. Nearly 180 meals featuring Certified Hereford Beef hamburgers and hot dogs were served, with glowing reviews coming from those cooking the beef, as well as those enjoying it. “As for the quality of beef, the vendor was extremely impressed,” John Wagner says. “They thought the hamburgers were superior to the Angus products they purchase for other events they are contracted to provide food for. As for the hot dogs, they couldn’t say enough about how much better they were than what they are used to.” To find establishments that serve Certified Hereford Beef in your area, send an email to info@herefordbeef.org or please visit the website at CertifiedHerefordBeef.com/where-to-buy/.

Certified Hereford Beef exhibits at Performance Food Group Batesville show The Certified Hereford Beef brand recently launched a new partnership with Performance Food Group (PFG) and exhibited at the PFG Batesville food show Oct. 9 in Mississippi. Certified Hereford Beef Brand Manager Ty Ragsdale was on hand to speak with new customers about the CHB brand and the competitive advantage it allows restaurants in a market saturated with black-hided programs. “Certified Hereford Beef was excited to participate in the customer event this week with PFG Batesville, our new distributor partners,” Ragsdale says. “There was a fantastic turnout and we introduced our product and brand to a significant number of potential CHB restaurateurs in the Mississippi market.” Ragsdale served premium ribeyes to show attendees, and the response to the flavor and tenderness of the product was overwhelmingly positive.

Hereford burger wins burger competition

This year’s semi-annual Kohl Wholesale Fall Food Show’s theme centered around magic. In addition to the 175 vendors displaying their latest products, attendees could also participate in educational seminars.

| January 2020

A Certified Hereford Beef® burger recently won top honors in the third annual Murfreesboro Battle of the Burger competition in Murfreesboro, Tenn. The Burger Bar, with locations in Mufreesboro and Johnson City, Tenn., created the award-winning “Southern Jam” burger. The prize-winning hamburger featured a Hereford beef patty smothered with house-made beer cheese, pimento cheese and bacon jam, topped with fried onion rings on a potato bun. The “Southern Jam” Hereford burger beat seven other hamburgers in the competition, including a Waygu burger and several varieties of Angus burgers, to take home the title of “Best Burger.” “What we wanted to do was come up with a burger that was different and balance some sweet and some salty and some crunchy elements to give it a good feel,” Chef Kevin says. The Burger Bar features a full menu of Certified Hereford Beef burgers, allowing patrons to completely customize their burger to their liking. If you are in the area, stop by for an award winning burger and make sure to send your compliments to the chef!

Hereford Women

A Special Thank You

by Erin Lockhart

To start off 2020, the National Hereford Women (NHW) would like to recognize a board member who has gone above and beyond for the NHW, Hereford youth and Hereford breeders alike. Shannon Worrell resides in Texas with her husband, James, and son, Jarrett. Together they run Worrell Enterprises LLC, where they raise Hereford and Angus cattle. Shannon joined the NHW board of directors in 2018. In her first year serving

she created opportunities to raise more than $50,000. In October 2018, we sought to increase the National Queen’s Scholarship fund in the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) to $200,000 by December 2019. This increase would allow for a total of $10,000 to be awarded annually to four deserving ladies. HYFA agreed to match the funds raised, and pledges counted toward our goal.

Innovative ideas For those of you who do not know Shannon, she lives a very busy life and her mind is always turning. By the time we got to our spring meeting in May, Shannon had already supervised a gun raffle sponsored by the Texas Polled Hereford Association in Ft. Worth and was ready to pitch her next big ideas. Shannon’s first pitch included her good friend, Kay Knight. Shannon spared no detail as she pitched the Kay Knight and NHW exclusive jewelry

line. Kay had sketches drawn up and samples premade for us to adore. In Kansas City, Mo., Kay presented us with a $3,000 check from the jewelry she had sold and from custom pieces she had designed through us. Another one of Shannon’s fun ideas was the Bucket Brigade at the National Junior Hereford Expo. All of us donated awesome prizes to complete six buckets. Buckets included hunting trips, luxurious accessories and even a showbox bar. The ideas kept coming as she pitched the custom Hereford-hide pillows and custom luggage sales. Both have been popular and make awesome gifts. Lastly, she prepared us for Kansas City by partnering with Kay Knight again to introduce the “Lady of the Royal.” This gold pendant adorned with diamonds would be gazed at by many, but only one lucky lady would wear it home from the Annual Meeting. A donation of $100 would provide for a bottle of wine, a wine glass and a one in 100 chance to win the pendant. Lot 2 in the Ladies of the Royal Sale did not disappoint as Shannon had a Henry rifle custom-engraved with 10 brands encircling a cow-calf pair on the stock. The gun was auctioned off and was purchased by GKB Cattle, Texas. Shannon is a wonder in her own right and never ceases to amaze the board with her incredible and outof-the-box ideas. She makes time to accommodate all our requests and does so with a can-do attitude. We look forward to working with her over the next three years and cannot wait to see all the avenues she can lead us down to grow our scholarships and programs. She has encouraged us to go where the NHW have never gone before, to make bigger goals and to dream bigger dreams. If we push our limits, there is nothing but great things in the future of the NHW. To join and to learn more about the NHW, visit HerefordWomen.com or email nationalherefordwomen@gmail.com.

...Standing Out From the Herd continued from the cover

which bulls would best suit the Wobig operation and decided on a group of grandsons out of Hoffman’s 5139 cow family. “They’re getting the benefits of the hybrid vigor by putting Hereford bulls on those females,” Hoffman says. “With the Red Angus influence and this cow family they bought bulls out of, we’re maximizing maternal traits which will make his program elite compared to others.” At the time, the American Hereford Association (AHA) and the Red Angus Association of America introduced the Premium Red Baldy program. Seeing a way to further differentiate their replacement heifers, the Wobigs decided to purchase bulls from that cow family which also met the program’s qualifying criteria for the AHA’s baldy maternal profit index (BMI$). Adding he does not like to use numbers by themselves, Shane says, “[The bulls] had to fit what I wanted, as far as conformation and disposition — our cattle and these heifers that we’re going to sell are extremely gentle.”

Filling a niche Myriah Fauber, Austin Wobig and Shane and Heather Wobig (pictured l to r) operate Wobig Ranch in Merriman, Neb., a 500-head commercial cow operation consisting of Red Angus females and Hereford bulls.

underground lake stretches from the southernmost part of central South Dakota down through the West Texas Panhandle. “You can dig post holes and hit water,” Shane describes. “You pair water level with native grasses and it makes pretty good cow country.” Although recognized as the largest sand dune region in the Western Hemisphere, the rolling foothills of north-central Nebraska are most famously dubbed “cow country.” With well over half a million head of beef cattle inhabiting the area, local ranchers are always seeking ways to differentiate their product. “We’re trying to figure out a way to make our cows more profitable,” Shane emphasizes. “We have the cows here. How can we make more money off them? How can we develop a good product that not only works for us, but gives us more options to market them?”

Mixing it up The Wobigs kept a black herd for a few years before switching to a solid red-hided program they maintained for about 10 years. With goals of improving the quality of his replacement heifers and weaning heavier calves, Shane began looking into a red baldy crossbreeding program. “There has been a premium for Red Angus heifers the last eight to 10 years, and I’ve noticed that gap is starting to close,” Shane says. “It was a marketing decision. I didn’t know of anybody who had a red baldy program, so I figured we would be one of the only ones and there would be more opportunity there.” In pursuit of a single program from which to source bulls, he followed up on a recommendation from a longtime local of the Sandhills and connected with Jason Hoffman of Hoffman Herefords, Thedford, Neb. After plenty of late night discussions on the advantages, as well as the disadvantages of such a major management change, they began actively pursuing their first purchase of Hereford bulls. “It’s nothing that we did overnight,” Shane says of their decision to completely replace their Red Angus sires with a Hereford bull battery. For almost a year, Shane and Hoffman strategized on

| January 2020

In the long run, the Wobigs want to become a well-known source for top-notch first-generation (F1) red baldy heifers. “If we can build a premium with our baldies, then we’re better served from a management standpoint to be able to sell all the heifers,” Shane explains, noting that keeping 50 to 70 replacements would require producing a couple hundred Red Angus calves every year. “I like this idea of having a terminal herd where we’re selling all the calves,” he adds. “People that are buying their replacement calves are getting the top, not the middle cut or the bottom cut. They can come in here and they can get the very best we have.” Shane comments there is a lot more that goes into making a quality replacement than just breeding for an F1 cross. “We’re still having to weed through and sort the cream of the crop,” he says. “We want to get to where we have more depth, because everybody has a bottom end. We’d like to be able to sell more percentage quality." With every calf crop, the Wobigs seek more pounds of calf weaned. Shane notes the top-end calves in their first crop of F1 red baldies were a lot bigger than those in previous calf crops, and Austin appreciates their gentle dispositions. This year’s calves will be the first to be marketed as Premium Red Baldies. “A lot of the reason why we pursued it was economically driven,” Shane says. “We wanted a way to be able to market our calves that nobody else does. How can we set ourselves apart, how can we sell something different? [We are] trying to find something that nobody else has, but that will still be in a high demand — so less product, more buyers.” The Wobigs sell steers off the cow and heifers in January through the sale barns in Valentine and Ogallala. They have also used video sales through the Ogallala market. Recently, they have been selling at Ogallala because of its annual red-influence sale, which takes place at the beginning of January and can have 4,000 to 5,000 head of Red Angus-influenced calves. “That makes a big difference to have that many in one location,” Shane says. “It brings more buyers.” To Austin the ability to differentiate their program is key. Seeing value in trying something new, he is excited to see how the program will allow them to better advertise their calves. “It is a lot easier to market than if we would’ve just stayed red,” he says. “There’s a thousand other red cows out there, same with those red

calves. You take them to a sale barn and yours have to be flashy, they have to show out.”

Built for success While their red baldy program is just getting started, the Wobigs know what it takes to grow a successful business. They are not afraid to make a change if it means their operation will be more successful. Heeding advice from his grandfather — who inspired him to return to ranching — and other successful ranchers in the area, Shane is always looking to improve, to be different and to be the best at what he does. “You can’t run your operation just like somebody else’s — it’s different,” he says. “But you can take things from multiple operations and make it your own, and you try to find examples of very successful operations to do that.” Out of high school, Shane spent four years in the Marine Corps and studied aviation mechanics while serving as a jet engine mechanic in California and Japan. “I think the military will help shape everything you do,” he says. “It’s just not just with your job. It can be any job. It can be how you live…it’s a higher set of values.” His work ethic is shared by the entire family. In Heather’s hometown of Camp Crook, S.D., ranching is a way of life. Between growing up in a ranching community and now ranching herself, she says success is dependent on hard work. “Hard work means giving your all every day — getting up no matter what the weather is, what the day is like, what’s happened in your life. Just giving everything your all,” she says. This mentality is especially important during calving season — which begins March 10th, to be exact, and which is also the peak season for blizzards. With 60 to 70 mile-per-hour winds and snow drifts that have historically reached as tall as rooftops, it takes all hands on deck to get cows and calves in and protected from the high winds. Still, Heather enjoys the quality of life and the fun times the family has ranching together, while raising quality cattle. In their 27 years of marriage, she and Shane have raised three children — their oldest son, Colton, followed in Shane’s footsteps and served in the Marines and is now a diesel mechanic. Their daughter, Morgan, is in college, pursuing a career as a dental hygienist. Myriah, who will officially join the family in September, is a nurse at the hospital in Valentine and is working on her bachelor’s degree in nursing. Born and raised in Kaycee, Wyo., Myriah did not grow up ranching but, like Heather, is enjoying helping out

In order to become a premium source of replacement females, the Wobigs have paired Hereford and Red Angus genetics to provide customers with a productive and marketable product.

and learning the ins and outs of raising cattle and draws on a work ethic she learned from her dad. “When I’m faced with a lot of challenges, especially out here where I don’t know much, I just hear him saying, ‘What’s the worst that could happen? Just go with it.’ So he inspires me every day,” she says. She and Austin are excited to raise a family on the ranch and to carry on the legacy, and Heather jokes that in the next five to 10 years she would love to help raise quality Red Angus cattle, F1 baldies and grandkids. Regardless of their diverse backgrounds, each member of the Wobig family appreciates doing the job right. Drawing on previous experience in customer-service jobs, Heather says customer service is just as important when it comes to their ranching business. “With ranching, you try and raise the best cattle that you can, get them ready for market and try and please your customer with what they’re looking for,” she describes. And with their latest investment in a red baldy program, the Wobig family is set up to differentiate their replacement females to best serve their customers and to find their edge in cow country.

2020 Vision

Hindsight, foresight and a little hope are part of this milestone year’s market outlook. by Kindra Gordon

ith its matching digits to the 20/20 moniker for perfect vision, the year 2020 is considered by many to be a significant milestone. For the cattle business, the upcoming year could be significant because it may mark a turning point in the cattle cycle — with a move toward higher cattle prices and even better prices by 2021 and 2022. So says Jim Robb, senior agricultural economist and director of the Livestock Market Information Center. He shared his market outlook comments with attendees at the 2019 Range Beef Cow Symposium in Mitchell, Neb., Nov. 19. Robb cites several factors affecting the shifting market. Consumer demand has remained good and export market demand is anticipated to pick back

What cattlemen should do when they make money If ag economist Jim Robb’s forecast for the next three years is on target, cattle producers should expect some extra dollars in their pockets. How should they spend it? Robb suggests dividing those profits five ways, with 20% to each of the following: • Put some in a retirement account. • Pay employees a one-time bonus. • Invest in a new kitchen at the home place. • Invest in the ranch. • Save for a rainy-day emergency fund. “Think about it over the next year, so you might know how you’ll use some of that positive profitability when it gets here,” he concludes.

up, especially due to the drought in Australia, China consuming more beef because of lower pork supplies resulting from African swine fever, and a rapidly increasing beef cow liquidation currently occurring within the U.S. “The dynamic is switching very quickly on the supply side…[cattle] prices for the next few years should be slightly higher unless something shocks the system,” Robb states. However, he also adds a disclaimer noting prices will “not be as high as 2015.” Specifically, Robb forecasts 2020 to be more like 2017, with 2021 higher and 2022 calf prices at $1.85 per pound in the Southern Plains and $1.95 per pound in the Northern Plains. “If demand holds together 2022 could be pretty good in cow-calf country,” he says. “Now, things can go wrong. It’s like playing a fantasy card game.” As an example of one of those “shocks” to the market, Robb points to the August fire at the Tyson Foods beef plant at Holcomb, Kan. Of the resulting market volatility, he notes, “We learned future markets react quickly, and you won’t have a hedge-able opportunity.” In those instances, Robb advises, “If you’re in cow-calf country and you have forage and patience, you can outlast it. If you have yearlings, you’re less flexible. And, if you have fed cattle, you don’t try to outlast. You sell at lower prices.” Regarding marketing, he emphasizes to cow-calf producers, “It’s not a one fits all and sell every year on X date. “Do I manage by cattle cycles?” he continues. “Don’t bet the farm on it. The cattle cycle is dampened. There are other things driving the market more than the cattle cycle.”

Consumer influence One of those factors affecting the beef industry and cattle market is consumers, points out Greg Ibach, during his remarks to Range Beef Cow Symposium attendees. Ibach is the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) undersecretary of agriculture for marketing and regulatory programs.

| January 2020

He encourages producers to “listen to consumers and what they are saying” and suggests spending time visiting grocery stores in urban areas. “That’s a great opportunity to get context of how the market may be changing,” he says. From his travels around the U.S. and the world, he has learned several things about consumers, including:

• Consumers want to have a story attached to the food they buy.

• Consumers have a firm belief in

climate change, shaping their beliefs that producers should do things environmentally to mitigate climate change and to be sustainable. “I’m not saying they are right, but we need to be aware of it and respond,” he says.

• Consumers want to know food is safe. • While there are consumers willing

to spend a lot of money on food, the vast majority of consumers around the world want affordable food.

Regarding a traceability system within the U.S. cattle sector, Ibach says, “We [the USDA] will continue moving forward. Consumers expect it, the world expects it…hopefully, the cow-calf industry will get on board.” Ibach acknowledges a balancing point between consumers and producers must be met. “Without consumers, we don’t have a market, and without farmers, they don’t have food to eat,” he notes. His message for the future beef industry is, “Beef isn’t beef, isn’t beef, isn’t beef.” Ibach explains there are different ways to approach consumers, citing examples from “boutique” beef with traceability at every step that consumers pay for to low-cost producers who offer affordable beef and multiple variations in between. “Align with a marketing system that allows you to be efficient with that system,” he advises producers. “[You] have to figure out how to line up with consumers’ needs and wants, and everybody’s going to have a unique path forward as they look into the future.” Hereford.org

Weather Forecast: A Mixed Bag

The 2020 weather forecast is offering a little of everything — warm and cold, wet and dry — across various parts of the U.S. by Kindra Gordon

he beloved “Farmer’s Almanac” describes winter 2020 as “freezing, frigid, frosty” but also notes there may be so many ups and downs on the thermometer it could be dubbed a “Polar Coaster.” Specifically, the almanac predicts the country from the Rockies to the East Coast will be cold with ample snow across the northern tier of the country. Meanwhile, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) official winter seasonal outlook

| January 2020

from the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) for the months of December through February are slightly more optimistic with regard to the cold. While no part of the U.S. is favored to have belowaverage temperatures this winter, the CPC is forecasting that through February modest probabilities exist for above-average temperatures spanning large parts of the lower 48 states from the West across the South and up the Eastern Seaboard. Alaska and Hawaii have the greatest likelihood for warmer-than-normal conditions. The CPC says the Northern Plains, the Upper Mississippi Valley and the western Great Lakes region have equal chances for below-, near- or above-average temperatures. This temperature forecast is a mixed bag because there is currently an absence of either an El Nino or a La Nina. The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) typically influences the winter climate pattern. The lack of El Nino and La Nina is anticipated to persist through the spring. “Without either El Nino or La Nina conditions, short-term climate patterns like the Arctic Oscillation will drive winter weather and could result in large swings in temperature and precipitation,” Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, explained when the forecast was released. Regarding precipitation, drier-than-average conditions are most likely for Louisiana, parts of Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma as well as areas of northern and central California. These conditions could compound the drought which rapidly developed across much of the South during the summer and early fall. Currently, approximately 20% of the country is dealing with drought conditions, with the most severe areas being the Four Corners region of the Southwest, central Texas and parts of the Southeast. Wetter-than-average conditions are predicted across the Northern Plains, the Upper Mississippi Valley, the Great Lakes region and parts of the Mid-Atlantic region and the Northeast, as well as Hawaii and Alaska. The remainder of the U.S. falls into the category of equal chances for below-, near-, or above-average precipitation. With that wide-open forecast, it will be best to stay tuned to the 10-day outlooks, which are typically much more accurate at predicting temperatures and storm trends. And, to give yourself a laugh, do not forget the words of comedian George Carlin when it comes to forecasting the weather. Carlin once quipped, “Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning.”

BE BULLISH

The Breeding Bull: Your Herd’s Ultimate Athlete Condition your bulls for an all-star performance this breeding season. by Chad Zehnder

Start monitoring bulls four to five months before breeding season. Early monitoring allows for gradual changes to be made over time, versus trying to make drastic weight changes quickly. “Allowing a bull to gain 1 pound per day over 100 days, as opposed to pushing him to gain 3 pounds per day over 30 days, will be much more conducive to the longevity and performance of the bull,” Zehnder says. An early start to bull preparation also helps ensure bulls have high-quality semen going into breeding. Sperm production takes 60 days and is impacted by the nutrition a bull receives pre-breeding season.

Balancing BCS with nutrition

eBron James. Tom Brady. Usain Bolt. These names bring with them a certain performance standard. Each season, fans expect these athletes to be in top form, to perform and to achieve results no one else is capable of. You expect the same of your breeding bulls each season, but are you treating them like the athletes that they are? “We need to prepare bulls to be athletes for the duration of breeding season,” says Chad Zehnder, Ph.D. and cattle nutritionist with Purina Animal Nutrition. “Bulls need to remain sound and active. One way we can help prepare them as athletes is by conditioning them.” If bulls are too thin at the start of breeding season they might not hold condition and perform. At the same time, too much condition could be detrimental. Excess weight can affect structure, soundness and the bull’s ability to remain in active form.

Gradually build condition The ultimate goal should be to achieve ideal bull condition and start far enough in advance so it’s not a sprint to attain it. A body condition score (BCS) of 6 going into breeding is ideal and should be achieved gradually. “A single point change in BCS equals 80 to 100 pounds of weight. So, for a bull to go from a BCS 5 to a BCS 6, it would require gaining 100 pounds,” Zehnder says. “To achieve that score increase takes time and monitoring.”

| January 2020

“Yearling bulls and bulls up to 2 or 3 years of age are still growing and need a diet that meets those requirements,” Zehnder says. “Young bull requirements differ from what more mature bulls need to gain or maintain condition and the two groups should be developed and fed in separate facilities if possible.” If you have multiple bulls in a group, ensure they have ample bunk space or free-choice supplementation to help reduce displays of dominance at the feed bunk. Supplements with intake control properties encourage snack eating, causing bulls to eat smaller meals more consistently throughout the day versus aggressively trying to consume all their feed in one meal. Supplements can also help keep bulls in prime condition by maintaining or improving BCS and can help balance any nutritional deficiencies of forages. “Developing bulls on the range or in a pasture situation where they can exercise can be advantageous,” he says. “Exercise and reducing

the energy fed in the diet can also help overconditioned bulls get closer to BCS 6.” Quality mineral nutrition is also essential because minerals support the development of a growing bull’s structure and feet. Minerals can support health and sperm quality as well. Consider using a highly available trace mineral source so that bulls get the most benefit from the minerals consumed.

Monitor during and after breeding season Once bulls are turned out with cows for the breeding season, continue monitoring their body condition. If bulls fall below a BCS 4, replace those bulls to ensure your cows are getting bred. At the end of breeding season, bulls will need some extra attention again. “Bulls often end the breeding season in a BCS 4 or 5. At that point, younger bulls that are still growing will need more than a maintenance diet to regain condition and allow for growth,” Zehnder says. Purchasing bulls is a significant initial investment, but trying to cut corners during bull development won’t do your herd any favors. “To maximize your investment and use a bull to his full potential, continue developing him with a high-quality nutrition and animal health program,” Zehnder says. “Think of bull development as a marathon rather than a sprint. The goal is to optimize gain and maintain the structural and breeding soundness of a bull for as many years as possible.” Prepare bulls now for an all-star breeding season later.

BE BULLISH

How Disciplined Is Your Bull-Buying Process? Show up at sale time prepared to buy the right bull for your program. by Troy Smith

The answers will help determine the characteristics or traits on which to focus during the bull selection process. However, Boardman warned against waiting until an hour before sale time to begin the process. Instead, a producer should obtain a catalog early and first sort the bulls on paper. Boardman emphasized the importance of using the data provided to compare bulls on the basis of the expected performance of their calves for the traits most important to the profitability of the producer’s own operation. “You don’t want to show up at a sale and have that be the first time you see the information on the bulls,” Boardman says, recommending producers use data in the sale catalog to make initial bull selections. He called expected progeny difference (EPD) values “great tools” for comparing one bull with another with regard to specific traits. To narrow the field of prospects, producers can use the breed association EPD percentile table to find out where bulls rank, within the breed, for traits of interest.

“I

Understand the numbers

t ain’t hard to buy a bull,” so the saying goes. “All you got to do is be the last feller with his hand in the air.” The physical act of bidding probably is the easiest part of buying a bull. Choosing which bull or bulls to bid on is the hard part. According to Caleb Boardman, the bull selection process should begin well before a prospective bull buyer arrives at an auction. An animal science lecturer and livestock judging coach at the University of Wyoming, Boardman talked about that process during the Range Beef Cow Symposium held last November in Mitchell, Neb. He urged an audience of mostly High Plains cow-calf producers to take a disciplined approach. “I think what too often happens is a producer shows up at a bull sale just in time for the free lunch. And the producer’s first look at the catalog or the bulls comes after the auction starts and he (or she) ends up buying whatever bull fits the budget,” Boardman says. “I suggest viewing the offering before sale day, if possible, but the producer ought to do the homework first.”

Identify your goals Boardman advised producers to start by considering the breeding and marketing goals for their own individual operations. They should ask themselves the kinds of questions that will determine the kind of bull needed, such as whether he will be used to breed heifers or mature cows. Is the plan to sell calves at weaning or to retain ownership for a later marketing target? Will daughters be retained as replacements? If so, what kind of bull will sire females that are well suited to the producer’s own production environment?

| January 2020

Boardman encouraged producers to gain an understanding of EPDs, including their accuracy values. The degree of confidence placed in each trait EPD for a given animal is expressed by a numerical value representing the amount of information used to calculate the EPD. Accuracy values range from 0 to 1. An accuracy value near zero means very little data was available for evaluation, while an EPD accuracy of 0.99 means a large amount of information was evaluated to calculate the EPD. Accuracy values for bulls purchased as yearlings are relatively low, since only pedigree information, limited individual performance records and no progeny information are included in EPD calculations. However, animals that have a genomic profile incorporated into their EPDs offer increased accuracy. Considering the wide array of traits for which EPDs are available, combing through the cataloged collection can be cumbersome. Using a suitable economic selection index can help. A selection index is a single value based on a collection of EPDs for multiple traits important to a certain production goal. Traits having a larger impact on profitability are weighted more heavily in the calculation of an index. Boardman stressed the importance of knowing which combination of traits is included, since each index targets a production and marketing scenario. “A selection index can be an awesome tool when it fits the producer’s own production and marketing goals. An index based on EPDs most important to a producer that retains ownership of all calves and markets finished animals on a grid probably isn’t the index most suitable for a producer that keeps heifers

as replacements and markets steer calves at weaning,” warned Boardman. Many sale catalogs also provide adjusted weights and ratios for animals in the offering. To Boardman, the ratios are more useful than individual weights. A ratio indicates how an individual bull ranked for a specific trait among contemporaries raised under the same conditions. “I would not buy a bull without the numbers,” Boardman states, calling the data too important to ignore. “But neither would I select a bull by the numbers only. Some people do. Too much of that may have led to some structural concerns we’re seeing within the beef cattle industry today.”

Evaluate structure and stay disciplined After doing the homework and making a list on paper of candidates that fit his or her criteria a producer must scrutinize those bulls visually. If it is not possible to see the offering ahead of sale day, Boardman recommended arriving early enough to evaluate each candidate’s conformation. This means looking for structural soundness as well as overall eye appeal. Producers should inspect each animal from hooves to head, paying particular attention to foot soundness and leg structure. Look for 45-degree angles when observing the slope of the shoulder, the line from point of the shoulder to the top of the knee, from the pin bone to the stifle joint and from stifle to hock. Observe how each animal travels for correctness and athleticism. “Naturally, you want a bull to be physically able to do his job. You don’t want a bull to last only one breeding season,” Boardman says. “And remember that structure is heritable. That’s really important if you plan to keep a bull’s daughters as replacements.” Candidates who do not measure up physically should be culled from the producer’s shopping list. And Boardman warned against adding any particularly eye-catching bulls to the list. Be disciplined. Bulls not on the initial list were eliminated because they did not meet predetermined performance criteria. Boardman also advised producers to be disciplined about spending. Have a bull-buying budget and try to stick to it. “There is an emotional aspect to an auction. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and deviate from your plan, bidding way more than you intended. And sometimes people get discouraged because the bulls on their lists bring a little more than they planned to spend, so they settle for something less. Either way it can result in buyer’s remorse,” he says. “It’s best to do your homework, really look at the bulls and create a final list of bulls that will work for your operation. Stick to the list, but know how much you can afford to pay.”

Castration Methods and Pain Management Issues

Veterinarians provide their perspectives on the different routes involving castration and what to be aware of with each tactic. by Heather Smith Thomas

ost bull calves are castrated unless they are destined for breeding. Steers are easier to manage, handle and feed for beef. Many are castrated young, but some are feedlot age, and some prospective bulls that do not make the final selection are castrated after puberty. At that age castration is much harder on them than when they are babies, and pain management becomes an issue. Eugene Janzen, DVM, University of Calgary, says the beef industry needs to work on pain management, especially with growing concerns over animal welfare.

Castration options Most producers surgically remove the testicles with a knife or apply a tight band around the neck of the scrotum above the

testicles to cut off blood circulation. Tissue below the band dies; the scrotum shrinks and eventually falls off, leaving a small raw area that soon heals. Regardless of the method, castration is generally less stressful or risky for a young animal than for an older one. Daniel Thomson, DVM, Kansas State University (K-State), says castration within the first days or weeks of life is best. “The earlier the better, as long as we wait until those [bull calves] have a chance to get colostrum and bond with mom,” Thomson says. “There are some new products that make it easier to apply tension so you do not have to worry about a testicle slipping back up before you are finished banding baby calves.” he says. Slippage is the challenge with elastrator pliers

and “cheerio” rings; you have to make sure both testicles are still below the ring before you remove the tool. “The bands are smaller and allows you to tighten the band after you get it in the proper spot. The old elastrator is either spreading the band or not, and the tension you’ll get is only what’s in the rubber band. This new method increases tension and helps the band stay in place. It has its own band and you crimp it off to apply tightness and pressure,” Thomson explains. It is important to find a technique you are comfortable with and good at, Thomson adds. He would rather have someone who is really good at banding just keep banding instead of suddenly deciding to knife cut. “The main thing is developing a technique and doing it

Post castration recovery study Eugene Janzen, DVM, University of Calgary, and a team set up several studies to compare pain following castration—band verses surgical. Janzen compared surgical versus band castration, using cameras to monitor the pens. “The baby calves went into the pens with their mothers after being castrated,” Janzen says. “If we banded them, they were a little colicky the first 24 hours. They kick at their belly, get up and down, or lie flat for long periods. It did not matter whether it was a baby calf or a bull. It was painful at first at any age for 12 to 36 hours.” While monitoring those undergoing surgical castration, Janzen says within the first 36 hours they noticed the calves laid around more. “After that, appetite began to increase and they moved around,” Janzen says. “Within a week it was difficult to tell anything from their behavior, except if you palpated the surgical sites. When I ran them through the chute on a weekly basis, I could tell that healing was varied; some didn’t heal as quickly as others. This was in contrast to the banded calves; once they got past the first 24 to 36 hours, they did pretty well for the next 2 weeks — until about day 17 to 21 when the band breaks through the skin.”

| January 2020

Janzen noticed a ring of inflammation developing above the band and it worsened at day 28. “We can measure the inflammation with an infrared camera or complete blood count,” Janzen says. “The calves’ feed intake was significantly reduced during that time and they were uncomfortable. When we started using calicrate bands 25 years ago, I was an advocate for this method because it was easier for the feedlot cowboys, and complications were less than with surgical castration.” He says although the surgical path is probably more painful for the first 3 days, the calves gradually do better (unless there are complications). There is not suddenly more pain that returns 3 weeks later as they do when banded Janzen says. “I’d like to find an oral medication. If you needed to castrate a group of weaned calves, you could top dress their feed bunk,” Janzen says. “This could work if they are accustomed to eating from a bunk, and they all eat the medicated feed equally. If you band calves rather than cut them, the banded calves probably need some kind of pain management between days 17 to day 30. If there was a way to do it orally, with their feed, this might work for feedlot cattle, but not for baby calves at pasture with their mothers.” Hereford.org

while calves are young,” he says. “What works on one ranch may not work for another.” Time of year may also make a difference — whether calves are in a muddy pen in late winter or on green pasture. “If you band calves, it’s wise to give tetanus toxoid, though the jury is still out on whether to give that when they are only a day old. If you are giving blackleg vaccine to baby calves, however, just add tetanus if you band them. If you give blackleg at turnout time and band those calves, use a tetanus toxoid,” Thomson says. The band creates an area where there is no blood supply — ideal conditions for tetanus. Only a few pharmaceutical companies include tetanus in their Clostridial vaccines for cattle, however. Thomson recommends working with your veterinarian on vaccinations and also on technique. “Some producers watch me castrate calves so they can learn to do it safely and efficiently — not just for ease on the animal but also on themselves. There are tips and tricks that might save you a front tooth or a bad back,” he says. Janzen and his students have tried a variety of surgical methods to see which might be best. “There’s not much in the literature about castration in cattle. Some ranchers cut the bottom off the scrotum. Others prefer to slit the scrotum, or dissect the testicle out of the tunic, and some just grab the whole tunic and rip it out,” Janzen says. “One reason some people cut the bottom of the scrotum off is because the opening is at risk for fly strike,” he explains. “But when we do that on larger weaned calves, this doesn’t work very well. The scrotum has muscles around it that act like a purse string and pull the opening together again. We have more complications if the bottom is cut off, than if the scrotum is slit. If they are fat calves and fat prolapses through the bottom of the scrotum, healing takes longer.”

in dairy calves and lower incidence of bovine respiratory disease in beef calves following castration with meloxicam administered at the time of the procedure along with a local anesthetic. But meloxicam and several other drugs used for pain control are not FDA-approved for use in food animals. The Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act does allow veterinarians to prescribe pain medications if there is a valid veterinarianclient-patient relationship and records are kept on animals treated (treatment dates and dosage for this extra-label use of meloxicam or other pain medications in cattle). “The injectable drugs work well and can be given subcutaneously, but you need to inject them at least 20 to 30 minutes before you do anything painful to that animal. They will not

eliminate pain completely. To do that, you’d need anesthesia, like you would get with an epidural,” Janzen explains. His group did experiments with a herd of 150 cow-calf pairs to determine the best time to castrate the bull calves and also monitored pain. “We did some at birth, some at 2 months, some at 4 months, and some at 7 to 8 months. If we didn’t medicate them, it didn’t matter which age we did the procedure; we could measure a significant difference between the medicated ones and the non-medicated ones,” he explains. Janzen says it is important for the beef industry to mitigate pain. Once the operation selects a castration method the next important step is to establish a pain management strategy to ensure a successful recover for the calves.

SHHH.

THERE’S A LOT OF VALUE IN A QUIET, GOOD-DISPOSITIONED COW.

Studies on pain management Janzen was involved with several studies on pain, comparing castration methods using pain mitigation versus no pain management. “We have done five years of experiments. We’ve compared ketoprofen with other drugs, and compared banding to surgical castration. One of the things that concerned me was having to castrate mature bulls in a feed yard; we did one of our first studies using an epidural anesthesia when castrating bulls, and it worked well. The main drawback was that it had to be given 20 minutes before the surgery,” he says. It does not matter which method you use; medication must be given for a certain length of time ahead of the painful procedure. “There are many injectable products and we looked at three — ketoprofen, flunixen and meloxicam,” Janzen says. Merck Animal Health recently introduced Banamine Transdermal (flunixin transdermal solution), the first and only product approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for pain control in food animals. This medication is a pour-on, absorbed through the skin and only available with a veterinarian’s prescription. K-State veterinarian Hans Coetzee conducted extensive research on pain management in cattle and found positive results with meloxicam (in pill form, given orally), which provides pain relief for up to five days.

BE BULLISH

Transitioning Young Bulls from Feeding to Breeding Learn how body condition plays an important role for your bull when breeding season comes around and what to avoid. by Heather Smith Thomas

hen marketing young bulls as yearlings, many times producers push them to be large enough and mature enough to breed cows at a young age. Some young bulls have also gone through a bull test or feeding program to measure rate of gain and feed efficiency and are fat by the time they finish these programs and go through a sale. Ultimately, this body condition can lead to a tough adjustment when they are turned out with cows after being well-fed all winter. Some cannot handle the sudden increase in exercise and decrease in nutrition when they go out with cows and fall apart. It pays to have a good transitioning program after you raise a bull or bring one home. Buying bulls in the fall or winter allows them time to adjust to a new environment.

Transitioning to breeding John Kastelic, DVM, Ph.D, Cattle Reproductive Health, Department of Production Animal Health, University of Calgary, has done extensive research on bulls and says that in the past with beef bulls, breeders focused on

| January 2020

nutrition after weaning. “Studies showed that if you feed high-energy diets after weaning, bulls have rapid weight gain but this creates excessive fat in the scrotum, reduction in semen quality, more risk for laminitis/founder, liver abscesses, rumenitis, etc. Feeding young bulls that much energy is counterproductive.” Producers now recognize that a bull should be fed for a long life of breeding rather than fed like a steer destined for slaughter. “People used to think that if a bull is not fat, he must be a hard keeper or poor doer,” Kastelic says. “Sale bulls were always fat, but producers thought they could just take them home and put them on a diet and then they’d be in breeding shape. Unfortunately, some of the damage in overfat young bulls can be permanent.” Even though most seedstock producers realize this problem, many bulls are still overfed. “If bulls are fed post-weaning on a mostly forage diet, those with genetic potential for rapid and efficient gain will still gain fastest although the difference between the top and bottom is smaller,” Kastelic says. “You can still do a feed test, but on a forage-based ration

with a modest amount of grain, and still identify the top-performing bulls. There is no excuse to push them with a feedlot ration.” Kastelic also adds it is wise to have bulls in a large area for exercise prior to turning them out in large pastures with cows. “They should be kept in a large lot where they have to walk from feed to water. All too often the producer brings home an expensive bull and puts him in a small pen to protect him from injury, and when the bull goes out to work, he’s not ready for it.”

Avoid buying fat bulls Many bulls purchased at bull sales have been overfed to some degree and confined during their growing months and have to suddenly adjust to being on pasture and to breeding cows. Even if they have not been overfed to the point of permanent damage, they still need a little time to make the transition. “The first step is to buy bulls with good frame and growth potential, but not too fat,” Kastelic says. “They need to be in reasonable condition, however, since bulls lose a lot of weight their first breeding season — especially on extensive range pastures where they have to travel — they will easily drop 200 pounds or more. You don’t want them going out thin, especially if they are breeding cows in the spring. That early grass looks lush and green but has high water content and not enough dry matter. Cattle may have fire-hose diarrhea from washy feed. Sending bulls out in good condition — not too thin and not too fat — is best, along with having them on a foragebased diet before turnout. A hay or silagebased diet with maybe just a little grain to maintain condition works well.” It is well known that any time you transport a bull there is stress put on the animal. With any kind of stress there will be abnormal sperm in about 10 days. It may take three to six weeks for semen to get back to normal, depending on how stressed the bull was and how severe the changes are. He needs plenty of time not only for biosecurity issues (keeping him apart from other bulls and cattle for a few weeks) but also for transition. Some ranchers like to get their new bulls in the fall to let them adjust to the new environment and pecking order within a group of bulls before they are all turned out the next spring. “Inevitably when you transport a bull there will be some stress, and stress suppresses the luteinizing hormone,” Kastelic says. “It drops, taking testosterone down with it. With relocation there will always be some stress and decrease in semen quality. How long the decrease in quality persists will depend on how anxious and stressed the bull is, how long the trip, etc. If you bring home a yearling bull and stick him in a pen with mature bulls and he gets beat up, he may have issues with semen quality for 6 weeks or more.” Make sure vaccinations are up to date, along with parasite control, before you send bulls out. There are advantages to bringing the bull home a few weeks or months before breeding season, rather than having the breeder keep and feed the bull for later delivery. If the bull has a chance to adjust to your environment, he will usually do better than if he is dropped off at the breeding pasture or a few days before turnout. “From a biosecurity perspective, bring him home and have him isolated for a few weeks or a month, and give him time to transition,” Kastelic says.

Cut Cost, Improve Profit 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.

EFBeef sires are developed under Ranch to Rail Profitability measures. The EFBeef program has 138 years of history offering seedstock Hereford genetics.

Beef Quality Assurance Campaign Seeks Greater Understanding of Industry Efforts The Beef Quality Assurance campaign is strengthening the link between the beef industry and consumers.

bout 85% of U.S. beef today comes from Beef Quality Assurance (BQA)certified farmers or ranchers. But do American consumers know that? Just as important, do they know what BQA is — and what it stands for? Those are the kinds of questions a new Beef Checkofffunded campaign from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), a Beef Checkoff contractor, is addressing. Its goal is to bridge the gap between what the industry is doing to produce high-quality beef in a humane, environmentally friendly way and what consumers know about those efforts. The new campaign, designed to meet the consumer’s desire to learn more about how beef is produced, kicked off in October 2019 with a series of videos from Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner. that bring the BQA program to life by highlighting how cattle farmers and ranchers across the country raise cattle under BQA guidelines. The videos and corresponding audio clips will be used to advertise on platforms including YouTube, Hulu, Pandora and Spotify and will also be made available on a new BQA section of BeefItsWhatsForDinner.com. Consumers will also learn more about BQA through interactive “BQ&A” Instagram stories that address common questions about how cattle are raised. The video, website and social activations provide consumers with an overview of the BQA program and the ongoing commitment of cattle farmers and ranchers to care for their animals and

| January 2020

provide the safest and highest quality beef possible. In addition to the digital marketing and social activations, media sources, such as Bloomberg, Reuters, USA Today and others will be introduced to BQA, and influencers and beef advocates will share BQA information with their audiences. “The campaign expands the reach of a traditionally producer-facing program,” says Josh White, executive director of producer education at NCBA, a contractor to the Beef Checkoff. “Beef farmers and ranchers are committed to not only caring for their animals and the environment in which they do that, they are dedicated to delivering the safest and highest quality beef possible,” he says. “At the same time, research shows that consumers want to know more about how and where their food is raised. This new effort shares information about the program with consumers in a way that benefits both producers and those who enjoy their beef.”

PRODUCER SUPPORT U.S. beef producers who have embraced BQA are encouraged by this step to get the message to those who buy beef. “I’m so excited about BQA becoming a consumer-facing program,” says Kim Brackett, a cow-calf producer whose operation sits on the Idaho/Oregon border. “The average consumer does not know what is happening in our industry. This is going to help reassure them as they’re making their purchasing decisions.”

Brackett and her husband, Ira, have four children who will be the sixth generation involved in cattle production. She got involved in BQA about 15 years ago and helped get it going in her area. A former chairman of the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board, she is currently the vice chairman of NCBA’s BQA advisory group. Brackett says being open with consumers is key to industry success. “We’re living in a transparent world,” she says. “Sometimes it’s hard to make the connections we need with our customers and BQA helps bridge that gap.” Brandi Karisch, beef cattle extension specialist at Mississippi State University, says as a mother of two young children she sees the problem frequently. “In talking with other moms, it’s kind of shocking some of the things they believe,” she says. “There’s just a lot of bad information out there. Now is an important time to correct that,” she says. After completing her undergraduate work at LSU, Karisch went on to get her Ph.D. from Texas A&M University and is now the co-coordinator of the BQA program in Mississippi. Karisch grew up in Southern Louisiana on a small purebred cow-calf operation and says timing for the new campaign could not be better. “BQA is one of our shining moments as a beef industry. It’s really important for consumers to hear about it,” she says. “The Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner. brand provides a tremendous foundation for this effort,” says

Alisa Harrison, NCBA senior vice president for global marketing. “For more than a quarter century, consumers have come to know and respect Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner. and this is the next step in helping consumers understand how beef is produced.” Harrison says the primary audience for the new campaign will be older millennial parents. To all consumers, however, the messages will be transparent and open, featuring the point that cattle are safely, humanely and sustainably raised. “There’s so much negative media and noise out there, any reassurance we can provide, that only helps,” says Brackett. The fact that information is continually updated and kept fresh is also a positive, she says. “Producers themselves are in charge. It’s very attainable,” she says. Karisch agrees. “Producers always have a voice in BQA, and that’s important,” she says.

A BIGGER AND BETTER PROGRAM Participation in BQA by farmers and ranchers continues to grow as certifications, including dairy and youth facing programs, recently surpassed the 350,000 mark. Throughout the country producers are becoming BQAcertified through in-person and online training. Certified farmers and ranchers must be re-certified every three years. Online BQA training provides 24/7 access to the program through a series of videos and animations in the areas of cowcalf, stocker/backgrounder and feedyard. In-person training is available through sessions conducted by hundreds of in-state BQA coordinators throughout the country. The certifications are also available in Spanish.

DOING THE RIGHT THING Bottom line, BQA encourages proper animal care, and consumers should feel good knowing there is a national program in place that sets consistent animal welfare and care standards across the beef industry. “BQA helps us be better stewards of animals and the land,” says Karisch. “That’s really the key. “But there’s a lot of noise out there about animal welfare. That creates a lot of bad vibes for the cattle industry.” Those are vibes the industry cannot afford, Karisch says. “I do not want people thinking bad things about our industry,” she says. “Some of the finest people I know are in the cattle business. And we really are doing things right.” Editor’s Note: This article was provided by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. Hereford.org

Hereford Mom Diaries | by Christy Couch Lee

Expect the Unexpected “If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.” I have heard this saying in various forms through the years. And it has played out in many ways in my life. Just when I think I know how things should go, I realize I literally had no idea. It has been true in my husband’s, Craig’s, life too. I often joke that he is a 45-year-old man who should have been born in the 1920s. He is an old soul who values tradition and believes life was better before technology. And he had visions of starting his first day of work after college graduation with one company and receiving that gold watch for retirement from that same company 35 years later. But that is just not how it has worked out. Craig has worked for nearly 23 years for three companies. The crazy thing? He’s worked for each of those three companies twice. His career path has taken twists and turns he never saw coming. And that path has led him to what he believes is a great opportunity as a national sales manager for an agricultural equipment company — one he has worked for in the past. It is a role he began in early December. No, his career journey is not at all what he expected. I would even be willing to say he has had moments when it is not at all what he desired. We have all been there. However, it has led him to a position that should ultimately be satisfying, challenging and rewarding. And it has taught both of us a few life lessons along the way.

Some life advice Do not burn bridges. The agricultural world is a small world. New career opportunities may arise, but your character and your reputation will follow you wherever you go. Do not be afraid to take advantage of advancements in your career. But ensure you leave with integrity and maintain those relationships, even when they change. Relationships matter. No matter the career or the industry, relationships matter. And that is especially true in agriculture. You never know who you may meet in the stalls at junior nationals and what job could result from that chance meeting. Work to build relationships, and take advantage of the networking opportunities available at cattle shows and in any situation. You just never know what might result from those conversations with someone new.

Never say “never.” When I was a senior at Oklahoma State University, I knew exactly where my career would lead. I was going to work full-time for a cattle association publication. Fast forward 20 years. I have worked full-time for publications in the horse, farm equipment and swine industries. Yes, I have written about beef cattle often in my past 10 years as a freelancer. But I have also written about dairy cattle, soybeans and corn. I have yet to pursue what I “knew” I was going to do. But most days, I absolutely love where my career has taken me. You never know where you might end up.

A tough season isn’t forever You may be in a tough season of your life — whether it be in your career, in your parenting journey or in your cattle operation. But it is just that. A season. A bad season does not equate to a bad life. Keep working toward your goals and know anything can improve. It simply takes time, faith and perseverance. It is never too late to set a new goal. It is easy to get stuck in the rut. To get used to the routine. But do not allow that comfort zone to keep you stuck. Julia Child published her first cookbook when she was 39. Sam Walton opened his first Wal-Mart when he was 44. Samuel Jackson — after being in recovery from addiction to cocaine and heroin — was 46 when he starred alongside John Travolta in “Pulp Fiction.” Success does not come with an expiration date. Keep working, and never give up. By no means do Craig and I have life figured out. Not even close. But the twists and turns we never expected have brought us some great opportunities for growth — whether we enjoyed that growth at the time, or not. You just never know what life has in store. Chances are, though, it will be anything but what you expect. Christy Couch Lee is a freelance writer from Wellington, Ill. She can be reached at christy@ceeleecommunications.com.

From the Field In Passing Jean Dalton, 60, Emerald, Wis., passed away Nov. 9, 2019. Jean is remembered by many as the strongest women in the world. Jean Dalton She was gracious and generous to everyone. She was born on Feb. 18, 1959, in New Richmond, Wis., to Tom and Virginia Leverty and graduated with the class of 1977 at New Richmond High School. Thirty-seven years ago, Jean married John Dalton. Their marriage was blessed with three daughters. Those three daughters brought her three sons-in-law, whom she cherished, and 10 grandchildren, who were her pride and joy. While she made a career in the insurance field, her true passion was taking care of her family. Jean loved all the time she spent with John, whether it was helping on the farm, going for rides around the countryside or admiring the life they created. She took pride in all she did from her beautiful flower beds, bountiful vegetable gardens, enormous Christmas cookie variety and large selection of canned goods she prepared. Jean was very involved in a local homemakers’ club, which created close, family-like friendships. In addition, she was a former master gardener and a member of the Willow River Quilters Guild. Jean loved hosting family and friends for events and always had a wonderful home-cooked meal to share. Those left to honor Jean’s memory include her parents, Tom Leverty and Virginia Leverty; her husband, John; her children and their families, Missy, Matt, Emma, Addalyn, Brynlee and Brystol Trautmiller, Shelly, Ed, Isabelle and McKynlee Peterson and Laura, Gabe, Alex, Brady, Landon and Evelyn Bohatta; her siblings, Dennis Leverty, Rosie Knutson (Mike), Jim Leverty, Pat Leverty (Heather), Judy Guise (Steve), Steve Dalton (Sandy), Tom Dalton (Terry), Debbie Clennon (Joe), David Dalton and Julie Dalton; her in-laws, Jack and Kary Dalton; and her sisters-in-law Kim Leverty, April and Marilyn. She was also cherished by many nieces, nephews, cousins and many special friends. Kelly Henry Schmidt, 96, Mason, Texas, passed away Nov. 11, 2019. Kelly grew up in Mason County, Texas, on his family’s operation, Kelly Schmidt Schmidt Ranch, started by his parents Henry and Katie Schmidt. He was born on Aug. 14, 1923, and was the youngest of three boys. After graduating from Mason High School in 1941, Kelly became a member of the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets. He was drafted into World War II and assigned to train as a machine gunner due to his skill with a rifle. Posted to France in 1944, he was hit by grenade fragments and spent the night in a foxhole. Kelly was rescued

| January 2020

by American troops and taken to a hospital in Wales to recuperate. He was later discharged and returned to the ranch to work alongside his father. Kelly married Minnie Nell Gandy on June 18, 1949. Together they started Schmidt Hereford Ranch and developed a nationally recognized registered Hereford breeding program. Kelly and Minnie first started consigning cattle to the Hill Country Hereford Association and Concho Hereford Association sales. In 1964, they began an annual sale at the ranch, which they advertised in later years as the “Oldest Single Breeder Sale in Texas.” Kelly served on the boards of both the Texas Hereford Association and the Hill Country Hereford Association. He was recognized as a Golden Breeder by the American Hereford Association (AHA) for 50 years in the business. Kelly and Minnie raised their three children — Steven, Shane and James — on the ranch. Upon retiring in 2008, they turned the business over to James and his wife, Mona. A member of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Kelly had a close relationship with the Lord. In the last decades of his life, he was a devoted golfer. He loved his four grandchildren and enjoyed taking them hunting and fishing. Kelly is survived by his wife, Minnie; children, Steven, Shane and James (Mona); grandchildren, Havana Mendoza (Capt. Richard Mendoza), Rio Schmidt, Monaco Schmidt and Texas Ranger Schmidt; nieces, nephews and numerous great- and great-great-nieces and -nephews; and many friends. Eugene “Gene” L. Wiese, 90, Manning, Iowa, passed away Nov. 14, 2019. Gene was born Aug. 31, 1929, to Lester and Helen Wiese in Carroll, Gene Wiese Iowa. He grew up east of Manning and graduated from high school in 1947. Gene went on to attend Iowa State University, where he majored in animal science and was a member of the livestock and meat judging teams. In January 1953 Gene married Jean Warnke, and the couple spent their honeymoon at the National Western Stock Show. Gene, his wife and their four children established Wiese & Sons Herefords. The family enjoyed traveling around the world to numerous stock shows in Europe and Australia. While making a career out of his passion for agriculture, he was also a well-known environmental steward. In tandem with progressing his cattle business, Gene set aside time to provide time and resources to support the industry in hopes of a better future for the next generation of cattlemen. With this mindset, he went on to serve as president for the AHA, the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association and the Iowa Hereford Association and was later inducted into each of the entities’ hall of fame. He was active with the National Cattlemen’s Beef

Association and the Animal Trade Advisory Committee, was involved in various youth organizations and judged numerous livestock shows on the local, state and national levels. Gene is survived by his three children, Helen Wiese, David Wiese (Diane) of Manning and Kathryn Wiese of Waimea, Hawaii; four grandchildren, Chancelor, Shayne and Trey Wiese, all of Manning, and Kieran Wiese Gibson of Hawaii; a sister-in-law, Millicent Wiese of Manning; nieces Barb, Mary and Nancy Wiese; and other relatives and friends. Lloyd “Bill” A. Davis, 92, Brenham, Texas, passed away Nov. 15, 2019. Bill was born May 31, 1927, to Thomas and Bessie Davis on the family Bill Davis farm near Pachuta, Miss. After graduating from high school, he joined the armed forces and served in Berlin. While serving overseas, he met and married Renate Blattner. They returned to the U.S. and settled in Houston, Texas, in 1947, where they both attended the University of Houston. Bill became a strong supporter of the Houston Cougars and faithfully attended games for more than 60 years. He wanted to return to his rural roots, so Bill purchased a farm in Fayetteville, Texas, where he began raising crossbred cattle. Bill also worked for a metallic building company and worked his way up to become treasurer and vice president. After being chased up the fence one too many times while working cattle, Renate recommended that if he wanted to continue receiving help from the family, he needed to raise breeds with a different disposition or to find new help. In 1969 Bill decided to pursue a new venture by forming a new metal manufacturing company with a few business partners. This venture led him to sell his Fayetteville farm and cattle operation. In 1971, Bill began raising Hereford cattle on a farm he purchased south of Brenham. He expanded his operation to about 600 acres and grew his herd to 100 head. Bill was an active member of the AHA, the Texas Hereford Association and the Gulf Coast Hereford Association. Bill and Renate moved from the cattle operation in 2010 and began fulfilling their passion for traveling the world. Bill is survived by his wife of more than 70 years, Renate; sons, Boris and Byron; grandchildren, Jessica and Patrick; caregivers, Caroline a nd Hinda; and family friend Debbie Lehrmann.

Glenn Sweatman Jr.

Glenn W. Sweatman Jr., 79, Virginia, Ill., passed away Nov. 24, 2019. In addition to being a lifelong grain and livestock farmer, Glenn spent 20 years as

an auctioneer, retiring in 2009. He was born Sept. 15, 1940, to Glenn W. “Joe” Sr. and Dorothy M. Ohrn Sweatman. Glenn graduated from Virginia High School in 1958 and a few years later married Kathleen Gaines March 26, 1961. He was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, served on the Cass County Fair Board and held memberships with the Illinois and American Hereford Associations. Glenn was an avid fastpitch softball player and played for the Jacksonville Redlegs. He is survived by a daughter, Brenda Sweatman of Virginia; grandchildren, Clancy and Chapin Sweatman of Easton; a brother, Ron Sweatman of Bloomington; and several nieces and nephews.

In the News Louis Latimer Inducted in Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame Nominated by the Canadian Hereford Association, the late Louis Latimer was formally inducted into the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame at a special ceremony in Quebec City. “The success and sustainability of our industry depends on the vision, dedication and drive of outstanding agricultural ambassadors like this year’s inductees,” says Trish Jordan, president of the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame Association. “Each of these individuals have contributed to opening new opportunities for Canadian agriculture – at home and around the globe. Their work has helped build a stronger Canadian agriculture brand from genetics to stewardship, grains and industry leadership. We are proud to welcome them to the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame.” Louis was a visionary pioneer and leaves the legacy of developing a global demand for Canadian beef genetics. Louis was a trailblazer in using data-based selection methods and seeing the value of telling the story of his farm with his Remitall Cattle Company brand — a marketing move that was decades ahead of its time. His passion for breeding and marketing premier Canadian Hereford genetics opened market opportunities for elite genetics from his farm and decades later led to the Canadian Genome Project, selecting one of his sires to be the most influential sire genetically in the Canadian Hereford Association. Many other Canadian breeders followed Louis’ model, helping elevate the overall quality of Canadian beef genetics. The Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame Association (CAHFA) honors and celebrates Canadians for outstanding contributions to the agriculture and food industry. Portraits are on display in the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame Gallery located at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. CAHFA also publicizes the importance of inductee achievements to Canada.

FLAT STONE LICK Cattle —

Wanted Dead or Alive! Our beef consumers appreciate the strides that we’ve taken on the carcass side. They keep coming back for sides of beef. We have always and will continue to feed out our steers to measure feedlot performance and end product quality.

Our purebred Hereford customers appreciate how we’ve developed EPDs and phenotypes. For marbling, our 115 females average in the top 28% of the breed. For all EPDs, our FSL herd averages in the top 23%, with few outliers. Our cattle lead long productive lives in our customers' pastures. Weaned heifer calves

Neighbors and visitors to our area appreciate the beauty of our pastures, our stewardship of resources and our focus on sustainable beef production.

Cattle in the green valley

We are proud of the progress that we’ve made… we are continually evolving and looking for ways to improve. Flat Stone Lick strives to earn your trust.
