Never Take Freedom for Granted

by Jack Ward

Build on American and Hereford history.

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

Founders of the United States of America gathered in Philadelphia to sign the Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776, proclaiming the new nation’s independence from England.

Philadelphians marked the first anniversary of independence in 1777 with spontaneous celebrations in the streets. The first recorded use of the name “Independence Day” occurred in 1791. Independence Day celebrations only became common after the War of 1812. By the 1870s, Independence Day had become the most important secular holiday on the American calendar, evolving into what is now known as the 4th of July.

Once again, Americans will enthusiastically celebrate our patriotism and independence this year with parades, barbecues, picnics and fireworks throughout the country.

Please keep the citizens of Ukraine in your thoughts as we do, and pray their conflict will end soon.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was the keynote speaker at this year’s Hemphill County Beef Conference (HCBC) in Canadian, Texas. He talked about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, beyond the obvious humanitarian concerns.

For instance, Ukraine was the world’s fourth largest grain exporter in 2020-21. Continuing conflict will prevent that nation from planting, producing and distributing as much grain this year, impacting Ukraine’s economy and global grain prices.

Looking ahead, Secretary Pompeo explained global leaders are concerned a similar war and disruptions could happen in the future, with China as the protagonist and Taiwan the victim.

Plenty of opportunity ahead

The American Hereford Association (AHA) and Hereford breeders were proud supporters of this year’s HCBC, which drew about 700 participants from

| July 2022

10 states. The two-day event featured a powerful slate of speakers who shared thought-provoking messages.

Troy Applehans, Cattle-Fax cow-calf and stocker market analyst, described current challenges facing all cattle producers, from drought to inflation, to rising input costs.

Applehans also shared reasons cattle prices could reach historical highs in the next couple of years. Those reasons include the shrinking U.S. beef cow herd and the strong domestic and international beef demand for quality U.S. beef. He explained beef continues to capture an increased share of consumer protein dollars as its quality and consistency increase.

Also at the conference, Sara Place, Elanco chief sustainability officer, explained why cattle producers must be involved in the unfolding conversation about sustainability, which is currently dominated by global climate change and the carbon footprint of various industries.

In this issue, you can read about a new research project AHA is conducting with Colorado State University to begin documenting genetic differences related to greenhouse gas (GHG) production.

Bottom line: U.S. cattle producers have an extraordinarily positive story to share with consumers. Part of that has to do with historic increases in production with fewer inputs.

Within the beef industry, Hereford genetics are positioned even stronger, due to inherent advantages in traits that contribute to efficiency, such as feed consumption, fertility and longevity, as well as the growing use of Hereford genetics to capture direct and maternal heterosis in commercial crossbreeding systems.

Hereford advantages for increased efficiency also contribute mightily to net cow-calf profit potential.

Commercial Programs Expanding Hereford market opportunity

AHA and Jake Drost of JRD Cattle Co., Klamath Falls, Ore., recently formed a unique partnership.

Drost will serve as an independent order buyer matching buyers with sellers of Hereford and Herefordinfluenced feeder cattle.

“Hereford genetics add cattlefeeding value through feed efficiency and carcass quality,” Drost says.

“However, here in the West, buyers are sometimes unable to reward the added value because of numbers and how cattle are assembled.

I aim to bridge that gap and provide producers of Hereford and Hereford-influenced feeder cattle with increased market opportunity.”

Drost grew up in the cattle business and maintains a passion to continue learning how specific traits and management practices impact cattle feeding performance and endproduct merit.

As an AHA commercial marketing partner, Drost will continue to build AHA’s relationships within the cattle feeding sector, while helping market producers’ cattle. He also will help producers broaden their knowledge about the gamut of variables driving feeder cattle value.

“The American Hereford Association is excited to announce this innovative partnership,” says Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president.

“Jake’s experience adds momentum to our quest of helping producers capture more value for Hereford and Hereford-based genetics.”

Drost can be reached at jdrost@hereford.org or by 806-884-5426.

Early to Inventory

by Laura Loschke

Don’t miss the American Hereford Association fall inventory early bird deadline on July 15.

It’s time for 2022 fall herd inventories. The herd inventories were generated last month for Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPRTM) members. Check your mail or MyHerd.org account for your herd inventory.

Remember, herd inventories turned in by July 15 receive a $0.25 per-head discount on every female maintained on the inventory.

Inventories submitted between July 16 and Sept. 1 will be charged the normal $5.50 per cow, $3 per first-time heifer and $1.50 per bull

Reproductive status codes

NS – Next season NE – Non-exposed CE6 – Calf born dead or died shortly after CE7 – Aborted/premature CE8 – Open, missed out CE9 – Died, calving difficulty CE10 – ET donor dam CE11 – ET recipient dam CE12 – Multi-owned, no calf

Disposal codes

T – Sold with papers 1 – Sold as a breeding animal without papers 2 – Sold as a feeder calf 3 – Died, illness 4 – Died, injury 5 – Died, calving difficulty 6 – Died, old age 7 – Died, other 8 – Culled, inferior production 9 – Culled, open 10 – Culled, illness 11 – Culled, injury 12 – Culled, poor treatment 13 – Culled or died, genetic defect 14 – Culled, bad feet 15 – Culled, poor udder 16 – Culled, prolapse 17 – Culled, cancer eye 18 – Culled, structurally unsound 19 – Culled, old age 20 – Culled, other

(optional). Any inventories turned in after Sept. 1 will incur the $2 perhead surcharge.

If you intend to register a calf and record its weaning performance through the Whole Herd TPR program, the calf’s dam must be listed on the current inventory.

Inventory FAQs

Q: I sold a cow and transferred her to someone else’s ownership.

Why is she still showing on my inventory?

A: If an animal is listed on your inventory but you have sold the animal, then a proper disposal code and date must be reported in order to remove the animal from your inventory.

If the animal was sold with papers, American Hereford Association (AHA) staff does not automatically remove the animal from your inventory, because they are not certain if you still have offspring from the animal to register. If you would like to remove the animal, use the disposal code “T – sold with papers” and the appropriate disposal date.

Q: If I have embryo transfer (ET) calves out of a dam I do not own, do I have to add the donor dam to my inventory?

A: No, you do not have to add the donor dam to your inventory. However, a recipient cow inventory fee for each ET calf will be billed if the calf is recorded with birth performance information (birth weight). If birth performance information isn’t reported, a recipient inventory fee won’t be billed.

Q: I jointly own a dam with someone else, but I don’t have physical possession of the dam and won’t be registering her calf.

How do I need to mark her on my inventory?

A: If you multi-own a dam with someone else, keep the dam on your inventory. However, if you aren’t the member who will be registering her calf, mark her as “CE12 – Multi-owned, no calf.”

Q: I have females that aren’t showing up on my inventory.

Why? A: Remember, females won’t appear on the inventory until they have reached at least 18 months of age. Heifers should only be enrolled on the inventory if they’re bred to calve in the season described. In this instance, fall 2022.

Keep in mind your reproductive status and disposal code options listed on the chart.

Inventories can be submitted electronically through MyHerd.org or via mail or email. As always, if you are having problems navigating through MyHerd you can view more than 20 tutorials on the MyHerd Help pages, or call Customer Service at 816-842-3757.

The People You Meet

At Home in Maroon

by Noah Benedict

Wearing the maroon jacket has been one of the best and most influential experiences of my life. The places traveled, goals accomplished and friends made have meant the world to me.

However, as I reflected on my time with the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA), I realized I have grown more from this experience than I ever expected.

In Denver, Colo., during the 2019 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), I was running for the board. I worked hard to put my best foot forward. I tried to look sharp, give a great speech and meet everyone in the barn. But, secretly, I was terrified. My freshman year

of college, quite frankly, I struggled.

That first year of school was very different than I had expected, and I was lost, searching for something to provide me with some sort of direction or purpose.

God opened a door for me that summer, and all I had to do was push past my fear. The opportunity to impact an organization, which had impacted me, was exactly what I needed to find direction in my life. From an outside perspective, the NJHA board works to create opportunities for its members through programs like the JNHE, Faces of Leadership and recently BOLD. While this remains true, the impact and opportunities this board has provided me are far greater than I ever imagined.

A network of opportunities

From first donning that maroon jacket, my number of connections doubled. My network has only continued to grow over these past three years of leadership, and it helped me land my career.

Leadership conferences, state shows, national shows and sales all allowed me to bond with other NJHA members and meet industry leaders.

These opportunities gave me the chance to travel to a new business, farm or ranch and meet the people behind them.

In 2019, I was not prepared for the journey that would lie before me. I knew I wanted to be a part of this organization and mentor as many young people as I could, but the bonds, relationships and passion that board members develop for the other NJHA members cannot be described.

things our board implemented and executed, traveled to states for Hereford Homeroom, put on Faces of Leadership and was part of the first NJHA board to make a new conference like BOLD a success.

I built relationships with these members, and those are memories that will last a lifetime. I hope at least a few of those think the same about their experiences with me.

As I conclude, I just want to say thank you to all of Team Hereford. It takes a village to pull off what we see on the surface, and every member, parent and breeder has played a part in it along the way. All of the board members I have worked with over the last three years have been nothing short of remarkable. They each left an individual memory in my mind. They have built the foundation for Amy, Bailey, Chloé and the coming board members to really shine. Be excited about being part of the NJHA; you never know where it may take you. Thank you for allowing me to find my home within the maroon jacket.

The Dream

by Wyatt Lawrence

It is hard to believe that three years serving on the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board have gone so fast. It feels like just yesterday that my family was loading up to travel to Denver, Colo., for the 2019 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). That JNHE was special to me, as I was filled with anticipation, excitement and nerves.

I didn’t know what to expect running for the NJHA, and I had even less of an idea what to expect if I was elected. Looking back, I can say I have been truly blessed, and I am filled with gratitude. I have been honored to serve on the NJHA board. I believe serving as an NJHA director is one of the most prestigious leadership opportunities available for young people in the agricultural industry.

From the endless line of supporters to energized juniors, very few things in my life have helped me grow like the NJHA. Some of my fondest memories are of time spent with my team.

Traveling the country together has been a blast. We have seen some world-class operations, trained with leadership professionals and built friendships. It has been interesting to foster close friendships through the NJHA board. Our team brought a great number of skills to the table and offered a lot of ideas.

By working together, we have been able to accomplish some great things over the last three years.

Wyatt Lawrence, retiring NJHA Vice Chairman

I started this journey with the campaign slogan of, “Love for Cattle; Passion for People,” and this has been reaffirmed to me over and over again through the NJHA. Yes, I saw lots of cattle and ranches, but what made this experience special was the people. My teammates were the ones who made it feel like family.

The ranchers were the ones who shared wisdom. The juniors were the ones who brought joy to every moment.

People are what make the difference in our everyday life, especially people who choose to be selfless and place others before themselves. These people make a difference in lives. We love Hereford cattle, and that is the reason that we come together. We gather to celebrate our genetics,

compete and test our skills, but the people are why we come back. The people are why we get nervous, why we get anxious, why we get excited and why we feel grateful.

While setting up for JNHE, I have stood in the empty barn — no fans or blowers making noise, no cattle or stall displays. I simply stood in an empty building full of bedding. What changes that building is when the families arrive, and the barn is filled with people. That is when the barn comes alive.

This year at JNHE take a moment and look around the barn in the early hours of the morning or late at night and be reminded that it’s the people — the people make the Hereford breed special.

To me, the people have been the greatest blessing.

Passion for people

Truly, when I reflect on what the NJHA board has given me, I am overwhelmed. The best way I can put it is that for the last three years I have lived a dream. I met new people, saw new things and worked within the Hereford breed. I loved every minute of hosting JNHEs and leading conferences. Yes, this role took time and commitment, but it was totally worth the experience.

A Multimedia Approach

by Taylor Belle Matheny

Cut through the clutter with multimedia advertising.

As an American Hereford Association employee, I walk past an abundance of history adorning the walls of our building every day and occasionally have the time to flip through copies of the Hereford World from the mid-1900s. An immeasurable amount of history and heritage are packed into those printed issues.

From a marketing perspective, I am enamored by the advertising.

Often straight to the point and simple, yet so effective. In this issue, the talent of today’s graphic artists shines through in each of the ads, contrasting greatly with those of historic issues. The photo, pedigree and contact information once used

abundance of content available through more mediums than ever before.

To put this figure into context, the latest iPhone offers gigabyte (GB) storage capacity options of 128 GB, 256 GB or 512 GB. One gigabyte is equivalent to approximately one billion bites.

Simply put, there is a lot of information for the brain to process when you compare it to the storage on a mobile device.

We are inundated with information from the moment our feet hit the ground in the morning until we go to bed each evening. From print to digital, to radio to television, there is

Today, a printed advertisement must stand out to grab the attention of readers while also competing with digital advertising.

Information overload

I recently stumbled upon a headline that read, “The Human Brain is Loaded Daily with 34 GB of Information.” Researchers were seeking to find how much information is processed by the human brain in a world with an

always something to process.

The amount of information each person encounters every day varies by habits, profession and technology use, but still amounts to significantly more than our ancestors processed daily.

What does this statistic mean for seedstock marketing? It means that as a marketer of your genetics, a well-developed multimedia marketing plan is needed to reach a target audience. A printed advertisement will catch the attention of one potential customer, while a digital ad will capture a different prospect.

A multimedia approach allows you to stay front of mind with a potential client through repetition.

If you only use print advertising, I challenge you to seek out digital advertising. On the other hand, if you only use digital advertising, I encourage you to seek a print advertising option. This holistic approach gives you the opportunity to reach a vast audience and connect with them through various mediums. Be creative as you develop your plan.

Advertising for the future

In an ever-changing digital world, it seems discussion has started about the longevity of print pieces. I would argue that print is here to stay as people find value in being able to get a piece like the Hereford World out of the mailbox each month. The challenge will be to differentiate from the other advertising pieces and create a message that resonates with your audience.

Times sure look simpler in those early Hereford World issues, and I would venture to say some of you would agree with that sentiment.

While it does not look like we are headed to a simpler time, we are headed to one with unlimited opportunities to market in ways never explored. That challenge should provide us all hope and excitement for the future of seedstock marketing.

Hereford.org

S

ince its inception in Herefordshire, England almost 300 years ago, Hereford cattle continue to answer a variety of contemporary questions.

Back then, folks were looking for efficient beef cattle capable of feeding the expanding industrial revolution with more beef than the dual-purpose breeds.

When Hereford cattle first came to the United States, they were the answer to a similar question — efficiently adding more pounds of beef to cattle roaming domestic ranges — and efficiently adding those extra pounds to younger cattle.

Today’s beef industry faces questions just as vexing.

How do we make the world’s most efficient beef cow herd even more efficient via genetics? How do we bolster beef producers’ economic sustainability? How does the beef industry address the growing societal

concern about the role of cattle in environmental sustainability?

Hereford’s inherent breed advantages for production efficiency, such as fertility, longevity and feed efficiency provide an answer. Plus, these breed advantages are magnified through heterosis when Hereford is the complementary component in managed crossbreeding systems.

This special section of Hereford World’s Annual Herd Bull and Reference issue celebrates specific examples of Hereford’s role as an answer.

It also celebrates some of the people behind the cattle. Even with science and technology, effectively breeding cattle is an art unto itself.

Speaking of which, you will also read about someone who sees Hereford cattle through an artistic lens, as well as one Hereford breeder who carries on the unique, historic art of custom hat making.

Here’s to Hereford — art and answer!

Lasting Legacy Five generations of the Smathers family have cared for their Texas Hill Country ranch and their century-old Hereford herd.

by Katie Maupin Miller

T

welve miles west of Llano, Texas, off State Highway 71, you’ll find a 500-acre ranch.

Amid its rolling Texas hills and natural rock formations, you’ll find a herd of registered Herefords seeking shelter under mature oak trees as they have for the last century. Perhaps, the only thing more constant than some red-white-faced cows grazing on this Hill Country haven is the family who cares for them.

What’s their secret?

“It kind of sounds simplistic, but that nevergive-up mentality. There are so many challenges with weather and market fluctuations. These make ranching a difficult profession,” current owner Rick Smathers says. “My father would just ride that tide and never give up. We might have to sell some for survival, but we never sold out.”

Smathers Hereford Ranch has now ridden that tide for five generations.

Owners, Rick and his wife, Jodye, are raising both Hereford cattle and the fifth generation of Smathers — 11-year-old Slade — on their acreage. Like Rick’s father and his father’s father, all the way back to his great-grandfather, Rick will ensure the legacy of their family name, their Hereford cattle and their ranch endures.

Ranch families must withstand a lot over 100 years — good times, bad times, happy times and sad times — yet, the Smathers family has stayed steadfast in their commitment to their piece of Hill Country. They’ve weathered every storm and even those years when they’ve desperately prayed for a storm to bring rain.

Family legacy

Over the past 135 years, the ranch has passed from father to son for five generations.

James Jefferson (J.J.) Smathers purchased his first patch of Llano County, Texas, dirt in 1886, shortly

after he wed Harriet Olenza Spinks. The couple built their home and their family. Together, they had seven children: James Fields, Felton, Pearl, Iva, Velma, Sallie and Forrest. Many of their children went on to do great things. James Fields Smathers invented the electric typewriter. Felton Smathers bred Royal King, the American Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame stallion and father of the modern-day cutting horse industry. And Forrest acquired his father’s property in 1936. There, he and his wife, Ella Mae, raised their own seven children, along with cotton, peanuts, goats, pecans and Hereford cattle.

Forrest and Ella Mae’s children were all deeded a portion of their property in 1980. Son Charles Winfred “PeeWee” continued the Smathers Hereford Ranch tradition of raising cows and raising kids — Rick and Renee Smathers. During this time, PeeWee took extra care of the family’s acreage and focused on improving its pastures. In 2010, he deeded a portion of his property to his son, Rick, and the father-son duo farmed side-by-side until PeeWee passed in 2017. Rick now runs cattle with his young son, Slade, as he passes down generations of knowledge garnered from running Hereford cattle in the Hill Country.

Today, the Smathers Hereford Ranch boasts highly managed, improved grasses, cultivated fields and rotational cell-grazing, maximizing herd production and capacity — a far cry from the 500 acres of raw pastureland it once was.

Like the land itself, the bald-faced cattle have also evolved. Initially, Smathers Hereford Ranch was a commercially centric herd, which marketed its cattle to local producers through on-farm production sales. Today, the family uses AI and embryo transfer to produce registered Hereford cattle aimed at the showring, much to the delight of fifth-generation heir and junior showman Slade Smathers.

Staying power

Maintaining a family ranch for more than 100 years means not only being open to change, but also having grit and staying power, which is hard to find in today’s world.

That way of thinking was passed down to Rick from his father, who got it from his father before.

Each generation of Smathers faced its own set of challenges, from droughts to floods and even the Great Depression. During the Great Depression, the Smathers family did everything to make enough

J.J. Smathers was the patriarch of the five generations of Smathers who have lived and worked on the century ranch.

extra money to keep the ranch. They sold milk and butter in Llano, sewed and mended garments and even planted a 10-acre patch of peanuts. Once the peanuts were harvested, the family turned hogs out on the pasture to clean up the vines before harvesting the pigs and curing the meat.

This resourcefulness served well the multiple generations charged with the ranch’s legacy. In Rick’s time at the helm of Smathers Hereford Ranch, he used this grit to withstand the drought of 2011. His herd of 75 mama cows dwindled to 15 amid the arid conditions. But, Rick simply refused to sell out his registered Herefords.

“That was our pivotal moment to coming so close to giving up, but we suffered through it and built back from that,” Rick says. “That never-say-quit mentality came into play. Just hang on to the best you can, so you have the best you can to build back with.”

And, build back, he did. Today, the family is back to 75 cows that they’re constantly improving. But, it’s not only the cow herd moving forward in Llano.

Each generation of the Smathers family is committed to the land and leaving it better than they found it, something retired Extension agent and current land improvement entrepreneur Rick takes quite seriously.

Hereford.org

Current owner Rick Smathers’ grandfather, Forest Smathers (left), and father, Charles Winfred “PeeWee” Smathers (right), tend to Hereford cattle.

Rick’s father started improving the grasses and implementing fertilizer and weed control programs.

“His philosophy was if there is a way to improve the tonnage and the pounds of forage that you can produce, then we need to pursue those opportunities,” Rick says. “Help Mother Nature help us.”

The collaboration between Mother Nature and the Smathers men must be working. Each generation has left its mark of improvement on the land and, subsequently, the herd. Stocking rates have increased from one animal unit per 20 acres to one animal unit per 5 acres through rotational grazing and forage management practices. This improved stocking rate has made it possible for the Smathers family to not only run cattle more efficiently but also have extra hay set aside for years of drought or poor grazing. continued on page 36...

Bald-faced determination

While the Smathers family’s commitment to land stewardship and improvement is undoubtedly paramount to their success, their bald-faced breed of choice also deserves some credit for their longevity. Chosen initially by J.J. Smathers as the “in” and “elite” breed of the time, Hereford cattle have stood the test in time in Llano because of their toughness, efficiency and fertility.

“For us, it is a continuation of that legacy.

Along with that, the breed has so many valuable traits that meet our climate here. The Hereford breed does well in the Texas Hill Country, and

Eleven-year-old Slade has already seen his selection of more showring centric genetics pay off. Here he and his parents, Rick and Jodye Smathers, pose with several banners he garnered at the Llano County, Texas, show.

Rick Smathers’ late daughter Jacey also loved Hereford cattle and was an accomplished showman.

their milking ability, the marbling, etc., make it a breed that the ranchers want to have,” Rick says. “Another really important part of the Hereford breed to us, to be real honest, is that they’re a docile breed, the temperament is real good, and you can manage them without a lot of cowboying, so to say.”

36

Their docile temperament makes them a favorite with son Slade as well. The young showman has big plans for the family’s registered Hereford herd inside the showring and out. Slade already garnered the record-seller in Llano County with a homebred Hereford, and his sights are set on one day breeding a Fort Worth winner.

Fourth and fifth generation ranchers, Slade (left) and Rick (right), now care for Smathers Hereford Ranch.

When asked how he liked his Hereford cattle, Slade replied, “Well, big-bellied cattle, with calving ease and good milking ability that are still just plain stout and clean fronted.”

With clear goals for the future, Slade is already dreaming of the day that he will be the steward of the Smathers Hereford Ranch legacy — with an elite set of Hereford cattle and some BrahmanHereford-cross commercial cows for good measure.

Rick and Jodye also think about this day because their goal is to leave Smathers Hereford Ranch a little better than they found it — ready for the next generation. Just like the many generations of Smathers before.

“Our operation has just been built on hard work and honesty, and we intend to continue that philosophy and way of life to help our kids grow and understand the agricultural life,” Rick says.

“Our goal is that our ranch doesn’t leave our family and that future generations have a place to grow and learn.”

That is undoubtedly what Slade — the next Smathers in a long line of ranchers — has in mind.

“I plan on keeping it for the rest of my life,” Slade says.

ACCURACY

We believe the only good kind of data is accurate data! When it comes to utilizing EPDs and performance data in our herd we recognize these resources as tools that work side by side with phenotype selection. We realize the importance of accurate records and how that information plays a role in building a successful, predictable cow herd.

The Ehlke Advantage

1ST GENERATION

Our family is proud to be first generation ranchers and have enjoyed watching our kids grow up in the cattle business.

We are excited to have the second generation involved on the ranch as we continue to grow. Starting from humble beginnings has challenged us to work hard and expect more from our cow herd – every cow has to earn her keep!

OUTCROSS

When searching for new genetics to add to our herd we know the importance of powerful, outcross genetics that will perform with predictability. If you’re looking for an outcross or something different to add to your herd, we look forward to the opportunity to get to know your operation and help create your success!

aking pictures is easy.

Taking pictures that capture the essence of an instant, tell a story and stir emotions — that’s plumb tough.

The latter requires technical proficiency and quick decision making, even in this digital age when newfangled cameras will decide for you, if you let them.

Cathy Wright, Gering, Neb. Is a classically trained portrait photographer, who taught herself how to capture vivid cattle images.

If cattle are involved, then you also need a certain grit.

So, she had the rare opportunity to learn from a master photographer.

“I learned how to use the cameras, the lighting, the dark room,” Cathy explains. By the time Charles graduated and they moved, Cathy had her own professional equipment. She did some portrait work on the side but raising their four kids was her central focus.

Ultimately, Cathy did open her own studio, when the kids were older and the family moved to Oshkosh, Neb. She was taking pictures of kids, families, high school seniors and weddings. Then a close friend wanted some help taking cattle pictures.

event available. Cyndi and a friend of hers were at the same events because their kids were participants.

“Charles volunteered me to work at the Van Newkirk bull sale before I ever got here,” Cathy says. “I stood in line, handed out dessert and learned what a bull sale was, and Cyndi and I became best friends.”

Cathy is a selfdescribed town girl, who was always drawn to animals. Charles was always involved with cattle. Their kids showed 4-H livestock. So, Cathy wasn’t a stranger to cattle, but her experience was less than lengthy.

Effectively capturing the essence of an instant is a rare and unique talent.

Over time, the stunning While waiting for his family to arrive, Charles images guided the Van Newkirks to see their attended every school sports game and community marketing and advertising in a new light.

“Cyndi is a high-end marketer with the background and experience for it, and I have an aptitude for it,” Cathy says. “She knows the market and what the ads need to say. I choose the pictures and design the ads.”

Soon, the ranch will self-publish a coffeetable book documenting its 125 years of history, featuring Cathy’s photography.

“It has been a lot of fun. The marketing has changed the look of Van Newkirk Herefords in that it put the product in front of people in a different and appealing way. The Sand Hills, the horses and the cattle, there’s a certain romance to all of that. When you look at the pictures, it could be today or 100 years ago,” Cathy says.

Cathy emphasizes that even the top marketing and photography won’t help sell a poor product.

“I was fortunate to get involved with an operation that has an outstanding product. I’m not making the cattle look better than they already are.

These animals are beautiful and functional.”

Over the years, Cathy photographed cattle of other breeds but says, “Frankly, I am not This photo by Cathy Wright received the prestigious honor of hanging

Happy Campers

Hereford cattle serve as an example of the beef industry at the second largest summer camp in Arkansas.

by Katie Maupin Miller

rookhill Ranch and its 520 acres cradled by Ouachita Mountains hosts 3,000 kids from 40 states and 17 countries or territories each year during its summer camp. Mike McMillan, Brookhill Summer Camp COO, likens this piece of Arkansas paradise to an outdoor adventure Disneyland. With more than 20 activities including go carts, archery, sports, horseback riding and even catching a wave on the only wake tower in Arkansas, summer days are full for campers and staff alike. But, in the acres skirting the tennis courts, 25-acre lake and horseback riding trails graze a small, but growing herd of registered Hereford cattle, which play their own role in keeping Brookhill Ranch the picturesque oasis it is today.

The beginning of Brookhill

Brookhill Ranch started as a Hereford operation in 1954 owned by Don and Hettie Lue Brooks. Hettie Lue, Brooks’ family matriarch and well-known

youth minister in the Hot Springs, Ark., area, suggested hosting a summer camp just a decade later, according to McMillan.

“She asked her husband, Don, ‘Honey, why don’t we do something for the kids and have them come to our ranch?’” McMillan says.

So, with just seven campers in 1964, the Brookhill Ranch Summer Camp was born. This year will mark the 58th summer that Brookhill Ranch has welcomed campers. Some of them even represent the fourth generation of Brookhill Ranch participants.

To McMillan, this isn’t surprising. Not only does the camp boast endless amenities for campers from the second through ninth grade to enjoy the outdoors, but it also allows young people to just be kids and really play. McMillan knows this firsthand because he was a camper between 1988-1991.

Roots run deep at Brookhill Ranch, and all the summer camp’s staff, like McMillan, are required

The Brookhill Ranch staff is like family, but McMillan truly is family. He wed Don and Hettie Lue’s eldest granddaughter and Brookhill Ranch Summer Camp executive director, Lynlee Brooks McMillan, in 2004.

McMillan laughs when he recalls writing three goals in his high school yearbook — work for the ambulance service, wed Lynlee Brooks and drive a big Dodge truck.

Today, he has checked off all three.

Yes, McMillan wasn’t originally a rancher or even camp staff; he was an emergency worker who had careers in multiple facets of the first response industry from EMT to dispatcher. Yet, when his father-inlaw offered him a role at Brookhill, Brookhill Ranch began its family owned and operated summer camp program in 1964 with he took the position with much seven campers. Today, it hosts approximately 3,000 kids from 40 states and 17 countries and territories. prayer and contemplation, knowing he had a lot to learn.

“I didn’t know anything about the maintenance of a ranch or summer camp. He described the job that I have now, which is handling everything on the operations side,” McMillan says. “I’m grateful that I started as a ranch hand and didn’t know anything. I had to learn everything firsthand” For the first year of employment, McMillan called his father-in-law nearly every day as he learned the ins and outs of the family’s 520-acre spread. While caring for that much land in any capacity can be challenging, Brookhill Ranch’s care and upkeep is even more complex, as the ranch With more than 20 activities, including go carts, art, archery, sports, horseback riding and more, Brookhill Ranch Summer Camp delights guests. essentially becomes a small town each summer, hosting more than herd of trail horses or being grazed by his father-in500 people per week who all need food, water law’s roping cattle were often clipped by staff. This and shelter — not to mention activities. The spurred McMillan to start talking to his family ranch staff maintains more than 30 structures, about starting his own herd. four wells and multiple storage In 2015, his father-in-law gifted McMillan tanks for potable water, cares for the 200 acres a commercial Hereford cow the family named of land dedicated to the summer camp and its activities and manicures another 300 acres continued on page 50...

Family ties

McMillan learned the ropes quickly and served as the main point of contact for all operation projects on the ranch. This meant he and his team cared for the acreage, including the large swath of the ranch that wasn’t directly used for the summer camp.

Cinnamon. And, Cinnamon renewed Brookhill Ranch’s ties to the breed and sparked a passion for McMillan.

“We still have that cow today. She is always tag 1,” McMillan says. “She was such a good mama cow that we went and bought a second one.”

Always one to dive into a project, McMillan joined the Arkansas Cattlemen’s Association and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA).

He wanted to not only learn how to care for his new wards, but McMillan also wanted to master the lingo and know about the beef industry.

The funds from each calf he sold from his two commercial Hereford cows were placed back into

thinks their striking red-and-white hides add to the already picturesque valley at Brookhill.

“We put the cows into areas not used by the camp, and the cows do their jobs — they turn grass into steak,” McMillan laughs.

The inherit carcass quality of the Hereford breed is something McMillan is exploring as he continues to improve and grow his registered herd.

After visiting with Trey Befort, American Hereford Association (AHA) director of commercial programs, at the NCBA Convention, McMillan entered five head into the Hereford Feedout Program.

He is looking forward to getting carcass information back on his entries, data he feels is invaluable for his budding cow-calf operation.

Agvocate

Mike McMillan purchased his first registered Hereford cow in 2018. Since then, he has used tools provided by the AHA and NCBA to learn about the industry and improve his herd. McMillan currently awaits the carcass results of his first Hereford Feedout Program entries.

his “cow account.” Soon, McMillan had enough saved up, and he attended the Magnolia Hereford Association sale to buy his first registered cow in February 2018. You could say this was the official start to IVM Cattle Company — pronounced 4M Cattle Company.

Today, McMillan’s 20-head herd is completely registered, with the exception of his two original commercial cows. And, as McMillan jokingly says he is all in — he “drank the Koolaid.”

“The difference between the registered and non-registered animals was just night and day when it came to their structure, docility and look,” McMillan says.

The Hereford breed has been a perfect fit to serve as Brookhill Ranch’s four-legged maintenance crew. They efficiently graze the ranch’s acres not used for summer camp activities; yet, the breed is docile enough that no one needs to worry when their pasture is next to areas where the children play. Plus, McMillan

While NCBA and AHA have provided McMillan with invaluable resources to learn about the industry and improve his operation, McMillan himself provides a unique platform for beef producers. With Brookhill Ranch Summer Camp, he has an opportunity to show campers, visitors and their families an example of sustainable cow-calf operations and the beef industry. This isn’t something McMillan takes lightly, as he recognizes that the summer camp provides him and his family with a distinctive opportunity.

McMillan recently completed the Arkansas Cattlemen’s Leadership Course (ACLC) to learn more about how to speak about the beef industry.

“I’m really drawn to the advocacy side and the sustainability side. With this fake news and misinformation, I can help tell my story,” he says.

In some ways, McMillan helps tell the story of America’s beef producers each time a Brookhill Ranch visitor sees his herd of Hereford cattle grazing on the family’s Arkansas acreage. But, McMillan, who wasn’t a cattleman or even a camp manager by trade, spends his free time researching the beef industry.

“At the end of the day, I’m just a guy who used to drive ambulances and fire trucks, and today, I’m just a ranch hand,” he says. “I love learning. I have cut my teeth on that in this industry, and to have my efforts recognized is just absolutely humbling. I look forward to developing more relationships in the industry.”

McMillan also looks forward to his daily trek across the field to check his small herd of Hereford cattle.

“It’s a passion,” he says. “They’re in this beautiful pasture with a creek running through it.

They literally bring us joy.”

Fit for Champions Kaycee Orr-Hoffman and her Bar None Hat Company carry on both tradition and legacy.

by Wes Ishmael

They are lifted high in celebration, humbly doffed in reverence and respect.

They shade a face from sun, wind, dust and snow, fan a bronc and encourage cattle to move or change direction.

They identify, make a statement, share triumph and sorrow.

Some even go to the grave with their owners.

That’s a Bar None hat.

“A

hat is more than a hat. Not only is it a fashion statement, it’s a tool for the person wearing it,” says Kaycee Orr-Hoffman, who established Bar None Hat Company in 2003.

“The grease stains, the sweat stains, it symbolizes the American cowboy. Their work hats get dirty and show so much character. It shows their lifestyle and where they come from.

“I had always wanted to learn how to make hats. The whole idea of using your hands and creating something that is an artifact of the person who is going to wear it was very intriguing to me.”

Kaycee’s desire to learn and her deep family roots in the Western way of life inspired her to become a hat maker, or a hatter as they’re called in the trade.

Legacies and whatnot

First the roots. Kaycee was the fifth generation to grow up on her family’s Colorado ranch.

Orr is a name widely known in the Hereford business, but the legacy began with Kaycee’s greatgreat-grandfather, Fred Deberard of Kremmling, Colo. He was an influential Hereford breeder who bred Advance Domino 20 and Advance Domino 54. In 1934, he sold those bulls to the U.S. Range Experiment Station at Miles City, Mont. They became the foundation sires of Line 1 Herefords.

56

| July 2022

Bar None is Kaycee’s family brand that dates back to the 1800’s Deberard believed in using the showring — carloads of bulls and feeder calf pens — to advertise and market his operation. Those endeavors were hugely successful and carried on by Jack Orr — Kaycee’s grandfather — an influential Hereford breeder in his own right.

The lining of every Bar None hat is purple, her grandpa Orr’s favorite color because it was reserved for champions.

Both Fred Deberard and Jack Orr are members of the Hereford Hall of Fame.

Kaycee married Jason Hoffman, of Hoffman Ranch, Thedford, Neb. His parents, Denny and Dixie Hoffman, began establishing the family’s own Hereford legacy in 1957.

Learning the ropes

Hat making — hatting — is a trade of secrets.

More specifically, it’s mainly a good ol’ boys’ club of carefully guarded knowledge. It’s near impossible to get anyone to teach you, never mind the fact that the manufacturing of essential equipment — much of it from Europe — ceased almost a century ago.

That’s where two of Kaycee’s aunts came in — Collene and Susie. Both were hatters; one still is.

Hereford.org

In 1985, Susie purchased Greeley Hat Shop, which was subsequently renamed Greeley Hat Works when she sold it in 1996.

Freshly graduated from Colorado State University in 2003 with a degree in ag business, Kaycee had a desk job. She hated it. So, she figured that was the perfect time to learn hatting from her aunts. Colleen located some left-over equipment that an old hat maker in Lubbock, Texas, was willing to sell. Kaycee set up shop in her parents’ barn and started piecing together her hat making education and business, which is now located in Thedford.

Mapping the head

You likely know your hat size, and it’s likely close to your actual size. When you order a Bar None hat, Kaycee gets an exact measurement. Just as important, she obtains a precise pattern of your head shape, using a vintage contraption called a conformateur, made in Paris, France, at the turn of the last century. Like fingerprints, no two head shapes are identical.

Next, the client chooses the hat color and quality. Kaycee offers four different levels of quality based on how much of the felt is comprised of beaver, versus rabbit fur. Beaver is more acclimated to water, of course. The more beaver in the hat, the lighter and longer lasting it will be. They also hold a shape better.

Bar None’s 10X is made of mostly rabbit fur.

20X is mostly rabbit fur but also contains some beaver. 50X is half rabbit and half beaver. 100X is pure beaver — the Cadillac of hats.

Incidentally, the “X” system used to denote hat quality — the amount of beaver — is neither regulated nor standardized. You can stamp as many X’s on a hat as you want. While more X’s mean more quality, the system only has meaning relative to the individual or company making the hat. For instance, a 1000X hat from a brand-name hat manufacturer is higher quality than its 100X. But a 100X Bar None hat can be of the same or greater quality as the bigbox hat stamped with 1000X. Understandably, price increases with quality.

Generally speaking, Bar None prices range from $350 to $1,000. Besides quality, price varies with such things as hat band choice.

Kaycee numbers every Bar None hat and stamps the customer’s name on the leather sweatband.

Each one leaves the shop with a $2 bill tucked inside as a wish that the owner will never go broke.

She got the idea from a customer a decade ago who walked into the shop, slapped a $2 bill on the counter and expressed the same wish to Kaycee.

Steps to perfection

After documenting the aforementioned particulars, Kaycee starts with what’s called a hat blank.

Hereford.org

Think here of a flimsy, hairy piece of felt consisting of the brim and crown. All of Bar None’s blanks come from the same company in Winchester, Tenn., the only remaining source in the United States.

Blocking is the process where “Hat making includes Kaycee begins working the owner’s unique head shape into the hat. a lot of heating, cooling and sanding,” Kaycee says, explaining the process. Steps include blocking the crown, when she begins fitting the unique head shape into the hat, trimming the brim to customer specifications, sewing in the sweatband and attaching the hat band.

The final step is handKaycee uses this rare piece of creasing the hat, which is equipment — a conformateur — to transfer each person’s unique head one more way to tailor the shape to his/her hat. look and feel. Conversely, she explains mass-hat producers use mammoth presses that essentially stamp a crease into the hat.

Cowboys and others

Making each Bar None hat takes eight to 10 hours.

Given the heating and cooling required, Kaycee explains she works on more than one hat at a time.

She turns out about 100 hats annually.

Kaycee and Jason have a son, Haxton (11), and daughters, Kennedy (9) and Hayden (7). She has begun easing them into the hat making process.

When they want a new hat, they must help her make it. They put their old hats up for sale. If they sell, they split the profit with Mom. Kaycee’s primary clientele are working cowboys in the area, but there are occasional courters of fame.

For instance, one client was running to be governor of Nebraska. When she numbered his hat, it was 1776. Unfortunately for him, the mojo failed to carry over to election day.

One of her favorite stories is about two strangers traveling by plane from California. One man complimented another one on his hat. “It’s a Bar None,” said the man, taking it off to proudly show the name on the sweatband. “So is mine,” explained the other one.

Word of mouth is the primary way Bar None hats are marketed.

“Hats have so much meaning — the color, the shape, how you wear them. It’s a lot of the person who is wearing it,” Kaycee says. “With each hat that goes out the door, there’s a piece of me that goes with it. There aren’t 100 other workers involved; it comes down to me. It brings me great joy.”

Turning Tables

AHA-CSU research will document Hereford sustainability advantages.

by Wes Ishmael

N

egative, fictitious chatter about the role cattle play in environmental sustainability rightfully maddens and disheartens those whose way of life is caring for livestock and land. But it’s too easy to assume such negative comments are isolated to a few special-interest groups.

For purposes here, think about climate change, which is currently the most common sustainability topic amid the societal conversation.

“A large portion of the public has been convinced that the cause of climate change is ruminants,” explained Ruaraidh Petre at the recent Beef Improvement Federation Research Symposium. He is the executive director of the

62

| July 2022

Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.

“We need to give them the data that shows ruminant agriculture is one of the few ways of providing food that can actually sequester more carbon and be more carbon neutral than any other form of agriculture,” Petre said.

“The facts are on our side, but we need to get these facts across. We need data, we need transparency.”

That’s one reason the American Hereford Association (AHA) established a research project this spring with Colorado State University (CSU) to characterize genetics associated with production efficiency, which plays a key role in environmental and economic sustainability.

Hereford.org

Evolution of AHA Research 1999 — AHA participated in the checkoff-funded Carcass Merit Project (CMP), which was initiated to develop genetic selection tools for carcass and consumersatisfaction traits, such as marbling, tenderness and meat composition. This was in response to two decades of declining domestic consumer beef demand and challenges revealed by the National Beef Tenderness survey. Olsen Ranch, Harrisburg, Neb., and Stahly Ranch, Cavour, S.D., provided and fed some of the Hereford and Herefordinfluenced cattle that were part of the CMP. For AHA, this project also served as the template and starting point of the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP), as founders recognized the opportunity and value of comparing sires via larger contemporary groups in order to prove merit and increase prediction accuracy faster.

2001 — AHA established Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™), building upon the early performance programs of the late 1960s. This enabled collection of complete calf crop information and eliminated reporting bias.

2004 — AHA and Hereford associations in other countries conducted the national genetic linkage project demonstrating the efficacy of intercontinental genetic evaluation.

Hereford.org

2011 — AHA collaborated in the National Feed Efficiency Project. This project established collection of multiple genotypes that would serve as the foundation of the AHA’s genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDS). This project also served as the basis for the first across-breed comparison for feed intake developed by the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (US-MARC).

2017 — US-MARC released the first across-breed comparison for feed intake, showing Hereford has a feed intake advantage of nearly 2 pounds.

2017 — AHA transitioned its genetic evaluation to a mixed marker effect model using only data from progeny born after 2001, when TPR was established, but including three generations of pedigree.

2019 — Oklahoma State University published research results showing the baldy female consumes 2 pounds less feed per day while carrying a 0.5 higher body condition score (BCS), compared to straightbred Angus cows.

2007 — AHA conducted the Circle A Ranch Project to validate the direct and maternal advantage of Hereford genetics. Economist Vern Pierce demonstrated the baldy female had a $51 advantage over straightbred Angus due to fertility and longevity.

“The AHA has always supported research developed by universities and the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (US-MARC), including the germ plasm project. This research continues to document Hereford advantages and their benefit as a component in crossbreeding to increase efficiency, fertility and longevity. This

2010 — Simplot Ranch, Inc. became an NRSP test herd and validated that Hereford genetics could be used successfully on heifers.

2019 — Mershon Cattle LLC, Buckner, Mo., became an NRSP test herd.

2005 — AHA conducted the Harris Ranch Project, which validated the direct and maternal heterosis advantages of Hereford genetics. The study documented a $30 advantage for Hereford-sired black baldies, compared to purebred Angus contemporaries, due to health, pounds produced and efficiency throughout the finishing phase. Black baldy females also had a 7% advantage in pregnancy.

2009 — The first Pan American Cattle Evaluation was released.

2010 — Olsen Ranch implemented feed intake systems, adding individual feed efficiency data to the NRSP.

2020 — AHA established a research project with the University of Illinois to fully characterize the maternal efficiency advantages of the baldy female. This project expands on previous research — Harris Ranch, Circle A Ranch and Oklahoma State University — documenting direct and maternal heterosis.

2022 — AHA established a research project with Colorado State University to enhance understanding of the genetic differences in seedstock relative to enteric methane production and nitrogen excretion. The research includes identifying selection tools that can help reduce beef’s carbon and environmental footprint.

data, alongside that collected through the CSU project will further support the Hereford advantage in all areas of sustainability,” says Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president. “As individual cattle producers and as the collective beef industry, we will continue to be asked to do continued on page 64...

Further, Enns notes the project has potential to pave new paths of revenue for cattle producers.

These could include such things as verified sustainable production claims, in addition to commonly discussed carbon credits.

“AHA continues to identify and support programs that create demand for Hereford genetics across all sectors, including cow-calf, cattle feeding, beef packing, restaurant and food service and the ultimate beef consumer,” Ward says. “An added benefit of this newest research is that our Certified Hereford Beef® team will have a more comprehensive sustainability message to share with food service clients asking the questions their customers are asking about where their food comes from, how it’s raised and the environmental impact.”

“AHA is excited to work with CSU’s talented scientists and researchers that are part of the industry-leading AgNext team,” Ward says.

Editor’s Note: AHA and CSU will host a free webinar July 12, which will summarize current understanding of the role U.S. beef cattle play in domestic and global greenhouse emissions. The webinar will provide more detail about specific beef cattle traits associated with GHG emissions, their heritability and potential use in selection tools to reduce the beef cattle industry’s carbon footprint.

Adding to beef’s positive story

Ward emphasizes the U.S. beef cattle industry has a long history of demonstrating extraordinary gains in efficiency over time, using genetics, technology and management to produce more beef with fewer cows and less land.

“We believe this research will help us identify ways to magnify the gains the industry has already achieved,” Ward says.

“CSU is involved in this project because we are passionate about beef production and the beef industry, and the societal benefits it brings from the upcycling of humaninedible plant materials and byproducts into highquality protein,” Enns says. “From a genetic improvement standpoint, CSU has a long history of new trait development and delivery of selection tools to the industry. As such, we feel we have much to Hereford.org

Candid Conversation A commercial producer’s perspective on genomics.

by Leoma Wells

M

any Hereford breeders utilize genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) to drive their genetic progress. The same science and data driving Hereford’s genetic evaluation also enable commercial users of registered Hereford cattle to make selection decisions with increased confidence in the accuracy of genetic predictions.

For instance, Charles “Chuck” Campbell is a Missouri commercial cow-calf producer whose family owns Campbell Ranch LLC (formerly known as Ridgeway Farms). They run about 750 cowcalf pairs — strategically crossing their Angus-based cow herd to maximize heterosis. The Campbell family also has a small herd of polled Hereford cattle. Chuck’s perspectives on using genomic tools in commercial operations can inform seedstock producers and commercial cattlemen, alike.

Q

When did you first become aware of genomics?

A: “When I moved back to the family farm six years ago and took more of an active role in everyday decision making, I read an article in a magazine about genomics. Since my eight-to-five job is data analytics, the article fascinated me since it was bringing together my two worlds — cattle and data. So, I reached out to my

70

| July 2022

NEOGEN territory manager and inquired about genomic testing the commercial heifers. After many discussions, we invested and have been testing the heifers and analyzing the data ever since.”

Q

Did EPDs change the way you approached breeding and bull buying decisions?

A: “Absolutely, EPDs have played a role in making some changes in our cattle management. Prior to utilizing EPDs as a tool, we had groups of females with very little information attached to them. We started genomic testing and keeping better records on farm, which led us to being able to sort the females into maternal and terminal herds to be more efficient in reaching our goals. EPDs are a crucial part of the final decisions in determining which bulls are placed appropriately. With the adoption of genomic testing our commercial heifers, we’ve been able to sire identify, which allows us to utilize more of our home-raised bulls.

Previously, this wasn’t an option due to the concerns of line breeding.”

Q

When seeking out a seedstock provider, how important is it for them to have submitted not only the phenotype data (actual birth, weaning and yearling weights) but also for the animal to have genomics and GE-EPDs?

A: “Every year, this is becoming more and more important for us.

Early on in our family operation, EPDs, and especially GE-EPDs, were not as important or even a factor in decisions. But now, that information is very important.

Before genomic testing, you can look at a bull’s EPDs and see the accuracy is minimal. Basing an investment on a low accuracy bull is a lot like going to Vegas — you’re accepting more risk. Genomics add accuracy, which equals less risk. I appreciate that, personally.

“For example, we purchase calving-ease bulls to have smaller, hopefully, live calves from our first-calf heifers, and run them in multi-sire pastures. Prior to genomics, we weren’t using sire verification. Now, we can easily identify which bull is the likely sire. We had a group of three calving-ease bulls in with a group of heifers. We had to assist three heifers during calving because their calves were too large. Through submitting a DNA sample and running sire verification, we were able to identify the culprit. When purchased, all three bulls were in the top 15% for the Calving Ease EPD (CE). However, when the genomic tests came back, sure enough, the genomics moved the one bull to a CE EPD number we wouldn’t have used on firstcalf heifers.”

Hereford.org

Q

How do you utilize the genomic information on a farm, and is it included in your management decisions?

A: “First, with the parentage included, we find it extremely useful. Keeping generation upon generation of heifers, it’s interesting to see certain sire groups stand out. To be clear, we never select replacements solely based upon genomics. We select heifers by phenotype first, and then, we look at the data. We find it fascinating to see large numbers of heifers from the same sire and question whether we really like that particular phenotype or if the bull is a maternal machine. To now know the sires has been interesting.

“The genomic marker side of it, as an operation, we have culled very few females based upon their genomic scores alone. We hear of other operations incorporating genomics into the forefront of their culling decisions, but we haven’t done that so far. Being a data guy, I want to collect the actual information and compare back to the genomics. We are primarily using the scores to decide whether the female goes into the terminal or maternal herds.”

Q

If we asked you to define genomics and what it means for a commercial producer, what would that look like?

A: “This one is a two-part answer.

The first part of genomics, which some are not aware of, is parentage.

Especially as a large commercial operation, parent verification has provided us the ability to manage our replacement females differently than before. Prior to genomics, we were identifying great calves and some that were less desirable but were not able to group them by sire.

DNA testing allows us to identify the sire and really dive into which ones are living up to their potential.

“The second part of this answer is how we use the genomics today.

The genomic scores are allowing us to have another unbiased, comparative example of what we Hereford.org

physically see. We’re able to prove/ improve upon what we see much faster than before.”

Q

Do you believe there is increased value in your cattle due to having been genomically tested?

A: “Absolutely. While we don’t sell females, we can physically look at the females generation by generation and tell that we’re making a difference.”

Q

What advice do you have for those considering implementation of technology on their operation?

perspectives. A great resource was my NEOGEN territory manager; he helped paint the picture of how the information could be used as another tool in our arsenal.”

Q

Any additional thoughts or comments?

A: “What I want to put out there is that, as a commercial producer, I study EPDs and am extremely knowledgeable, but not everyone invests or has the time to analyze all this information. EPDs and genomics can help us arrive at a decision quicker. While they are not perfect, they provide a tool for producers to help select what they wish to focus on — whatever that may be. We should welcome EPDs and genomics as helpful tools

A: “I truly believe that where this technology is going and where it will get to will be amazing, even though we’re not there yet.

Regardless of your trust/belief, at a minimum, you should get involved with it to some degree.

Educate yourself, compare back to your own data, examine how it can help now and where it can be improved upon in the future.

Feeding the Future NJHA Fed Steer Shootout provides cattle feeding insight.

N

early 100 young people learned more about taking their Herefordinfluenced genetics from gate to plate during the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout (FSS) Field Day April 2. HRC Feed Yards at Scott City, Kan., hosted the event, which included an educational program covering topics from feeding cattle to meat processing and fabrication.

HRC also feeds the FSS cattle — a record-busting 200 steers from 75 NJHA members in 17 states.

“The growth in the feedout programs provided by the American Hereford Association (AHA) is exciting to see and is a great testament to the progressiveness of Hereford breeders across the country,” says Trey Befort, AHA director of commercial programs. “These programs provide a great avenue for participants to gain a better understanding of the cattle feeding industry while collecting valuable data to benchmark genetic merit and make improvements.”

FSS entries will be harvested this summer. Participating NJHA members will receive feedlot and carcass data this fall.

“I think the biggest part of it is getting to test your own genetics. There are not very many opportunities for smaller producers to put their cattle on a feed trial and get real-world results back. From that aspect, it has a lot of benefits for a lot of operations,” says Trevor Johnson, NJHA member and FSS Field Day attendee. “The programs that the Shootout offers, whether that be the online programs or the field day here at the feedyards … it gives young people a great opportunity to get involved and see the side of the industry that you often don’t get to see.”

Making the grade

Nearly 100 Fed Steer Shootout Field Day participants gathered at HRC Feed Yards to learn more about the cattle feeding and beef industries.

76

| July 2022

Demonstrations by Cargill, Inc., focused on carcass fabrication and processing, encouraging junior members, ages 7-22, to learn more about the packing side of the beef industry.

Hereford.org

During these demonstrations, NJHA members were able to see firsthand the difference between USDA Yield Grade 1 and Yield Grade 5 carcasses.

“We were very purposeful in saying, ‘Hey, what is something that the kids aren’t normally used to seeing?’ says Jarrod Gillig, Cargill Protein North America’s president of business operations and supply chain. “This way, the kids can understand what it truly takes to make a sellable steak item.”

Parents and adults in the AHA Hereford Feedout Program also participated in these workshops, encouraging in-depth conversations and questions about the fabrication process, labor issues, supply and demand, and other issues affecting this sector of the supply chain.

Over lunch, NJHA members participated in career panels with representatives from Cargill, Merck Animal Health and Certified Hereford Beef®, discussing careers ranging from fabrication manager and sales representative to marketing coordinator positions. The diverse age range provided thought-provoking questions coupled with age-appropriate explanations. Adult participants received an in-depth market report from Tanner Aherin, CattleFax analyst.

Following lunch, participants toured HRC Feed Yards’ facility and were able to view their cattle on feed. This allowed them to see how their genetics are performing in the feedyard.

As Gillig mentioned in his presentation, genetics, cattle care and preparation all play key roles in success.

“Are you taking your cattle to their genetic potential?” he asks.

“Then it becomes the feedlot manager’s goal to maximize that genetic potential, so when it moves to us at Cargill, we can evaluate it and see how it grades.”

Hereford.org

Entering for opportunities

Young people can enter individual pens of three or pens of five cattle to be fed and processed as part of the FSS program.

Entries are judged based on the cattle’s performance and profitability and the young person’s industry knowledge and participation in educational opportunities. Winning entries are recognized at the AHA Annual Meeting in Kansas City, Mo. Additionally, junior members maximize their cattle’s marketing potential by gaining access to U.S. Premium Beef’s leading marketing grids, including Certified Hereford Beef.

Outside of the numerous opportunities for young people to evaluate their genetics, learn about the feeding industry, market fat cattle on a lucrative grid and win prizes, the FSS prepares young cattlemen and women for future challenges.

“Everybody involved in the beef industry has a role in feeding the world, and it is a very important role,” says Lee Mayo, HRC Feed Yards general manager. “I think we can teach that to these young people and have them take some ownership in that responsibility moving forward.”

Entries for the 2023 FSS must be submitted by Nov. 1, 2022, and delivered to the feedyard during the first part of December.

NJHA members attending the FSS Field Day enjoyed demonstrations by Cargill, Inc., focused on carcass fabrication and processing as well as lively discussions on the cattle feeding industry and beef demand.

Beef Cow Drought Considerations Management decisions have lasting impacts.

by Brandon Nuttelman, Ph.D.

B

elow-normal precipitation and windy weather conditions across the Northern Plains, the Midwest, and Western regions of the United States for some, if not all, of the past 12 months left ranchers concerned about their ability to have much, if any, grazing during the summer months. Ranchers in certain areas were forced to cull a higher percentage of cows than usual last fall because of dryer than normal conditions. Other producers might have elected to keep fewer heifer calves than normal as replacements to breed in the spring of 2022 due to the concerns about continued drought.

Without question, times of drought force cattle producers to evaluate their operations to help determine their options to get through these tough times. Each operation has a unique set of feed, labor, equipment and land resources that helps them achieve individual production goals. Therefore, what works for a neighbor might not be the best option for you. As a result, the topics discussed below simply

present information and ideas that could provide insight into potential management practices producers can implement during times of drought.

Body condition impacts revenue drivers

Management decisions made now can have an impact on production for years to come for both the cow, as well as the developing fetus. Body Condition Score (BCS) is a good indicator of a cow’s nutrient status.

It is well documented that cows with an adequate BCS (score of 5 on a scale of 1-9) at the time of calving are more likely to breed earlier in the subsequent breeding season than cows that calve with a BCS of 3 or 4 (Wiltbank et al., 19831).

A University of Nebraska — Lincoln (UNL) research trial evaluated the weaning weight and feedlot performance of 1,019 spring-born steer calves according to their date of birth in the calving season (Funston et al., 20122).

Calves were sorted by date of birth and then categorized into the first 21 days, second 21 days or third 21 days of the calving season. Steers

born in the first 21 days were 75 pounds heavier at weaning than steer mates born in the last 21 days of the calving season, as a function of days of age.

In this same UNL study, heifers born in the first 21 days of the calving season were 49 pounds heavier at weaning, and the conception rate for the heifers exposed as yearlings for replacements was 15% greater compared to heifer calves born in the last 21 days of the calving season.

When considering the fetal programing effects, researchers (Stalker et al. 20073) supplemented cows during late gestation. Steer progeny from supplemented dams were heavier at weaning, and the heifers out of supplemented cows had greater conception rates compared to progeny from cows that were not supplemented during late gestation.

Therefore, if the cow’s BCS becomes too low, and she is not allowed time to increase her BCS prior to calving, there is a chance that more cows will get bred at a later date in the subsequent breeding season or be open in the fall of 2023, resulting in

younger, lighter calves at weaning time in 2024.

Additionally, if cows are restricted on nutrients this summer and BCS declines due to lack of feed resources, the developing progeny in utero can be negatively affected the following year at weaning time and when the heifer progeny are exposed for breeding.

Cow management options

As previously discussed, it is well documented that cows in poor BCS at certain times in their production cycle can have lasting effects on both their subsequent calving date and their developing progeny in utero. Utilizing NASEM (2016) equations, the energy and protein requirements for the cow can be reduced up to 30% when the calf is weaned.

When the nutrient demand for lactation is removed, the available energy and protein that is consumed by the cow is available for maintaining or increasing BCS. Additionally, if a producer has the option to dry-lot cows so they can control daily feed dry matter intake (DMI), the amount of energy and protein fed to the cow can be reduced to maintain the cow in her current BCS. In one study (Kovarik et al.

20094) researchers limit fed dry cows 17 pounds of a wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS) and cornstalk diet and compared them to cows fed a grass hay, cornstalk and haylage diet fed ad libitum.

The limit-fed cows actually gained slightly more body weight and consumed 23% less feed. These cows were fed in feedlot pens, but producers can confine their cows in a pasture or certain areas they are willing to sacrifice as a pasture until moisture allows cows to be turned out to graze again.

Similarly, researchers (Nuttelman et al. 20105) supplemented a wheat straw and WDGS mixture to cow-calf pairs grazing Sandhills pastures. Grazed forage intake was reduced for the groups of pairs supplemented with the mixture.

Cows’ nutrient status at key points in the production cycle can have lasting effects on their subsequent calving date and their developing progeny in utero.

Calf management options

Weaning the calf from the cow reduces the cow’s energy requirement and therefore could potentially reduce her daily dry matter intake while maintaining proper cow BCS. However, managing the calf still needs to be considered.

One option is to simply sell the calf early at time of weaning to allow the producer the opportunity to direct all available feed and management resources toward the cow.

If the producer can wean the calves and feed them, the overall feedstuffs required on the operation will not be reduced. According to researchers (Warner et al. 20146) the amount of feed required to maintain cow BCS while still lactating was similar to the amount of feed necessary to feed the dry cow and also to feed her weaned calf separately.

The types of feedstuffs available and costs for these feedstuffs will play a large role in determining the proper decision for each operation. I encourage producers to reach out to their Extension specialists or contact a nutritionist to discuss the best option for your operation. Pens and handling facilities also need to be considered to determine if they can handle younger, lighter-weight calves.

Drought proves to be one of the most challenging situations cattle producers must face. There is not a simple answer that works for every

operation. I encourage producers to seek help where necessary and keep in mind the lasting effects that the management decisions can have on the cow, calf and pasture productivity for years to come after the drought has subsided.

ACT’s Playbook

| by Sarah Beth Aubrey

Graduation Season Consider coming home to the farm.

Let’s start with a provocative question: When do you want to be out of a job?

Have you set your exit goals?

While some days you may feel ready to throw in the proverbial towel, planning your exit likely feels difficult to consider, much less execute.

However, there are several questions to ask yourself: • How do you want to leave farming?

• Do you know who will manage your operation in two, five or 10 years?

• Are they prepared? If not, what conscious effort is being made to get them prepared?

• Are they working in the business now? If not, is there a track to get them there?

• If you are on the younger side of 40, how are you being groomed and educated to lead the farm for another generation?

• What is being done to develop and coach the emerging leaders for your business?

For many in production agriculture, there is a younger generation willing to come back. Yet, working that ambitious, energetic individual into the business should be thoughtful, and frankly, not automatic. Here are a few thoughts on ways to do that well.

No. 1: Work away before coming back

A big question on the minds of farmers with young, college-age leaders relates to working off the farm before coming home. Off-farm opportunities may occur during college or may consist of taking a few seasons after college to work full time somewhere completely different. Does off-farm professional

90

| July 2022

work add value? Should family members be required to work off the farm before coming back full time? I recently moderated a panel with three farmers under the age of 40, all of whom worked off the farm first. When asked this question, their resounding answer was, “Yes.” One panelist said her science degree and nearly 10 years in the medical field were excellent preparation for the work she now does handling soil testing and other agronomic details for the farm.

Another producer only spent one year away from the operation after college, but it was in a marketing role. This experience was beneficial when the operation expanded, and she found herself handling the zoning, media and local relations concerning their livestock expansion.

No. 2: What if they want to come back before we planned?

Times change, roles shift and emergencies happen. And sometimes, young professionals realize that life was not greener on the other side of the fence. Even if you have decided to have Junior work off the farm for a few years, what if the return time changes?

The third panelist and his dad had proactively planned for his return and had built a five-year timeline.

However, at year three, Dad found himself without a row-crop manager.

After careful consideration, including consulting with their peer group, the father and son agreed that the timing was right for his return to the farming operation. “It turned out we were really looking for the same thing,” the panelist shared.

The most important thing for any operation is to be ready to address this issue. Build a family

employment policy now. Then, if you are considering hiring someone in a way that goes against the policy you created, ask yourself why. Is there a truly viable reason beyond the emotional or family pressures you may be facing?

No. 3: Do an interview

“Dear, Dad’s over a ‘certain age’, I know there was no such thing as an interview when we joined the farm, but...”

Another way to manage and integrate returning family is through a job interview. The panelists I mentioned all interviewed before they came on board. These millennial leaders agreed that a formal interview is important, even for family members — maybe even especially for family members.

Consider inviting some stakeholders or trusted advisors to participate in the interview process, especially if you do not have multiple layers of other management. They might not make the final decision, but they may be able to provide candid and valuable commentary on blind spots (both positive and negative) that parents can have when seeing their child as an employee.

If we acknowledge that the operation is going to look different going forward and will require more professionalism, then the onboarding process must be handled differently than it was a generation ago. Take time to thoughtfully consider how to bring on your next generation.

Nematodirus (shown here), also known as the thread-necked

intestinal worm, is an unsightly parasite that causes infections marked by diarrhea and loss of appetite − both of which open the door for other internal parasites to cause even more damage.

Add Safe-Guard® (fenbendazole) when you deworm to take out the profit-eating parasites.

SAFE-GUARD is proven to kill 98.7% of worms, remaining powerful and effective, even in the face of parasite resistance.1 Choosing two dewormers from two different classes (like SAFE-GUARD + ivermectin) can help ensure you’re getting the toughest parasites – and helping slow the growing issue of parasite resistance.

From the Field In Passing Robert “Bob” Norton, 75, St. Joseph, Mo., passed April 13.

Born Dec. 19, 1946, to Robert, Sr. and Geraldine Norton, Bob Norton Bob, the oldest of five children, learned early on the importance of leadership and responsibility to those we care about. He carried this philosophy throughout his life and was devoted to his family and to leading companies for the success of the people who worked there.

Bob’s path to business took a few turns, as he gathered knowledge at each bend in the road. After graduating from Central High School, he had a brief stint in junior college before admitting that fun took precedence over studies. For his next adventure, Bob enlisted in the Air Force, where he served in Phoenix, Ariz., and Okinawa, Japan, before returning to St. Joseph and college. He buckled down and earned a bachelor’s degree in business from Missouri Western State College and eventually earned his master’s degree from Northwest Missouri State University.

After college, he started a career in healthcare but soon found his footing in the meat harvesting and packing business. This kept him on the move to Iowa, Nebraska and beyond. His career led him back to St. Joseph, becoming the CEO of BioZyme Incorporated.

His path widened along the way, and he started his family with two amazing sons, Jason (Genny) and Ryan (Caity).

Bob’s family grew nicely in 1988, when he gained a beautiful daughter, Ashley, whom he ultimately adopted in 2005. “Papa” Bob had five stellar grandchildren: Evan (Chelsea), Ava, Scarlett, Tripton and Pierce. He loved his children and all his family unequivocally, including his siblings: Tom (Robin) Norton, Mary Beth (Denny) Alpers, Roxanne (Jeffrey) Lawson and Samuel Scott (Pam) Norton.

In 2006, he married Lisa. Lisa brought Lynsey (Dalton) Whitacre with

| July 2022

her to the family, and Bob gained a bonus daughter. Bob’s support for Lisa was tremendous, and he stood beside her in all that she desired to do. Not always on the first try, but always. And she will forever be grateful for his love.

Bob’s generosity was monumental and included service to colleagues and support for community. He was a long-time supporter of American Feed Industry Association (AFIA), United Way, Shriners, Missouri Western State University and Veterans Airlift Command.

A member of Wyatt Park Baptist Church, Bob served on many committees and his philanthropy helped many people who never knew the source.

He believed that “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously” - 2 Corinthians 9:6.

Bob was an incredibly generous man and his spirit of caring and generosity are ingrained in us all.

Charles Walter Gray, DVM, 81, Edmond, Okla., passed April 21.

Charles was born Dec. 4, 1940, in Shawnee, Okla., to Charles Gray Carl S. and Lora A. (Goode) Gray. He and his two sisters grew up in Clinton, Okla., where he graduated from Clinton High School in 1959. Charles served in the Army Reserves from 1959-1966. He attended Oklahoma State University from 19611964 where he obtained his bachelor’s degree, then went on to veterinary school and graduated in 1967. While attending Oklahoma State University, he met Karen S. Sharp and they married on Dec. 27, 1964.

Charles worked at Britton Road Veterinary Clinic for three years until opening his own practice, Southern Hills Veterinary Hospital in Edmond, Okla., in 1973 until his retirement in 2019. He was passionate about all his clients — human and animal. Charles was a member of OVMA, AVMA, and AAHA. He carried on his upbringing

of being a farmer and rancher throughout his adulthood, then passed the tradition on to his family.

Charles was a member of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association and Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association. He enjoyed raising Hereford cattle and would spend hours discussing cattle with other breeders and friends and set many records with his cattle at Oklahoma Beef Incorporated. He was also a member of the Edmond OUR Club and enjoyed his weekly meetings with Edmond professionals, many whom he called friends.

Charles was preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Wanda Thomas. Survivors include: his wife, Karen S. Gray; children: Carl B. Gray, Carter, Okla.; Kevin S. Gray, Oklahoma City; Kimberly (Gray) Woods and husband Cameron, Edmond; and Charles Fredrick Gray and wife Kimberly (Benne) Gray, Edmond; and grandchildren: Alice Woods, Andrew Woods, Emily Woods and Kayla Gray.

The family would like to say a special thank you to The Timbers and Good Shepherd Hospice for the support and care they provided.

Dr. Norman Nevill Durham, 95, Stillwater, Okla, passed May 13.

Norman was born on Feb. 14, 1927, in Ranger, Texas, to Norman Harold and Bernice Durham (Griffith) Durham.

Norman grew up in Eastland, Texas, and graduated as the valedictorian of Eastland High School in 1944. Immediately following his graduation, he enlisted in the United States Navy, completing his basic training in San Diego, Calif. He was stationed at the Brown Shipyards naval base in New Orleans, La., serving in the medical corps as a pharmacist until his honorary discharge in 1945 as a pharmacist mate third class. On his 95th birthday, Norman was honored Hereford.org

as the Veteran of the Week by the Oklahoma House of Representatives.

After his military service, Norman attended North Texas State University receiving bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biological sciences and chemistry. In the fall of 1951, he enrolled in the University of Texas Austin in bacteriology and biochemistry, receiving his doctoral degree in microbial genetics in 1954.

Following the completion of his Ph.D. in 1954, Norman joined the faculty of Oklahoma A&M as an assistant professor teaching microbiology. He achieved full professor status in 1961 and continued teaching until 1967 when he was selected to serve as the Dean of the Graduate College at Oklahoma State University. During his tenure at Oklahoma State University, he served as advisor to numerous graduate students and oversaw the degree achievements of over 21,500 students. Norman served as the Dean until 1991, when he was selected to serve as Interim Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs. Prior to his retirement in 1995, Norman served as the Associate Vice President for Academic Planning. In 1999, Norman was inducted into the Oklahoma Higher Education Hall of Fame.

Norman met his future wife, Jane, when she was a student in his bacteriology lab at the University of Texas Austin. They married on July 26, 1952, in Muleshoe, Texas, and lived and loved together for almost 66 years. They have four daughters: Susan (Richard Mueller) Durham, Janet (Bradley) Gaskins, Diane Durham and Linda (David) Bender. His legacy continues with five grandchildren: Jonathan (Rick) Miller, Melissa Miller, Joshua Miller, Breawna Bender and Sarah Mueller, and one great-grandson, Blake Scott. Norman is also survived by numerous cousins. He was preceded in death by his wife and his parents.

Norman was dedicated to community service and served on numerous committees and boards at the local, state and national levels. These included the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce; BancFirst board of directors; Oklahoma Water Resources Research Institute of the U.S. Hereford.org

Geological Survey and the National Center of Groundwater Research with the Environmental Protection Agency; Governor’s Council for Environmental Quality; National Institutes of Health, Arthritis and Metabolic Disease Study; National Science Foundation; U.S. Atomic Energy Commission; U.S. Office of Education Council on Manpower Planning; National Aeronautics and Space Administration; and Federal Energy Administration.

He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Golden Kiwanis, Payne County Cattlemen’s Association, Oklahoma Hereford Association and the American Hereford Association, along with many others. Norman was an elected fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology and a member of the American Society of Microbiology.

The family would like to thank Dr. Woody Jenkins and the staff at Stillwater Medical Center for the care they provided to Norman.

Norman’s life was one of service to his family, community, state and nation. He credited his parents, Harold and Bernice, for instilling in him a responsibility to serve others and to share his knowledge for the betterment of all. The support of his wife, Jane, allowed him to continue to serve — and to develop a nationally recognized herd of polled Hereford cattle (and four absolutely fabulous daughters)!

James “Jim” R. Bloomberg, 66, Berwick, Ill., passed May 19.

Jim was born Nov. 12, 1955, in Kewanee, Jim Bloomberg Ill., the son of James and JoAnn (Carlson) Bloomberg. He was raised by his mother and her second husband, John Williams. Jim married Mary E. Ray on Dec. 29, 1984, at the Abingdon Christian Church.

He is survived by Mary, his loving wife of 37 years; his children: Blake (Wravenna) Bloomberg, Secor, Ill.; Jamie (Cade) Halfmann, Garden City, Texas; and Jake Bloomberg, Berwick; his grandchildren: Breckyn Bloomberg, Hayzen Halfmann, Brenhem Bloomberg, Berwick Bloomberg, Bexton Bloomberg and

Humble James Halfmann; his siblings: Johnny Williams, Toulon, Ill., and Gina Williams, Eureka, Ill.; and his beloved in-laws, David and Editha Ray of rural Berwick, who were more like parents to him.

He was preceded in death by his parents and father who raised him, John Williams, and one brother, Josef Bloomberg.

Jim graduated from Normal Community High School and attended Illinois State University. He was a lifelong farmer and cattleman and was a co-owner of Bloomberg Cattle with his family. He was a very active, community-minded person. Jim was the president of the Abingdon School Board, District 217 for 16 years. He was a member of the Illinois Simmental Board and a member of the Illinois Beef Expo committee.

He was a wonderful cattleman and was loved and respected by thousands across the industry. He was a renowned livestock evaluator, remembered for his honesty, integrity and ability to connect with young people. He was “Mr. Fix It” around the farm and enjoyed mechanics. Most of all, he was the most loving son, husband, father, brother and forever our PaPa Jim. continued on page 100...

...From the Field continued from page 99

W. Massey Booth, Jr., 88, Shinglehouse, Pa., passed June 7.

Massey passed away after a lengthy illness at Glenview Farms, Massey Booth on Kings Run Road in Ceres Township, Pa., the place he loved most.

Massey was born on June 17, 1943, in Olean, N.Y., to Wellington Massey Booth and Carmen America Booth.

After growing up in Arlington, Va., he returned to Portville, N.Y., and graduated from Portville Central School in 1961. During high school, he worked with his revered mentor and uncle, Bing Hackett, at Glenview Farms.

Massey attended the University of Buffalo (UB), where he majored in history and played football. He also came home on weekends and breaks to help at the farm. After graduation from UB, he returned to Portville Central School, where he taught history and coached football. On June 3, 1968, he married Kathleen Grover Booth. His

teaching career lasted for more than 40 years, straddling a short break when he was drafted into the Army reserves.

He was primarily a history teacher, but also taught driver’s education, and in the later years of his career, economics, psychology and business law. His love for teaching was only outweighed by his greatly cherished relationships with his fellow teachers, some of whom were recruited to work at the farm over breaks.

Massey dearly loved all those who survived him including his wife, Kathy, and their daughter, Kelly (Philip) Moore, and grandchildren, Captain Jake (Madison) Hoster, Alex Hoster and Isabella Moore. He is also survived by their son, Curt (Brynja), and grandchildren, Henry and Katherine.

He was predeceased by his brother, Jim, but is survived by his nephew, Justin (Meghan), and his children. He is survived by his sister, Barbara (Paul) Jennings, and their children, Bruce (Cassandra), Carol (Jim), Chris and Allison (Todd), as well as many of their children. He is also survived by many

members of his “Team” that worked at the farm over the years, including friend and 30-year employee, Wayde Savidge, and by loyal friends and caregivers, Chris Payne and Sadie Enty.

Massey’s passion in life was Glenview Farms, where he raised registered polled Hereford beef cattle. The farming operation has been in existence for more than 70 years, and the property has been in the family since the 1860s.

He took over the farm in the mid1980s. He enjoyed traveling to all parts of the country and Canada for cattle events, leaving many fond and lasting relationships. He was recognized in several states by multiple organizations for his contributions to the breed.

Massey’s cattle won awards in shows throughout the country and in Canada.

Massey’s favorite thing of all was to talk. He never found anyone with whom he could not carry on a conversation — and there was never a short conversation with him, nor even a short message on an answering machine or voicemail.

MyHerd.org is a free service. The only requirements are to have an active member account and a valid email address.

Signing up for MyHerd does not mean members cannot use a herd management system; however, there are features in MyHerd that herd management software cannot provide, like electronic animal transfer, AI certificate release and online bill payment.

Send an email to MyHerd@hereford.org to learn more about how to use MyHerd with your herd management system.

MyHerd help resources

The MyHerd team created resources to ensure you are using MyHerd to its full capabilities. Visit Hereford.org to view the step-by-step tutorials that walk you through every feature of MyHerd.

You can also utilize the MyHerd help pages by clicking on the blue “Help” text in the upper right-hand corner of MyHerd.

Be on the lookout for upcoming webinars this fall and spring. Webinars are live demonstrations hosted by a MyHerd team member and are a great opportunity for you to ask questions.

Electronic storage

The AHA offers electronic storage of registration certificates to members using MyHerd.org. When a member registers an animal, the certificate is stored electronically until the member wants to release the certificate for print.

This allows members to be in control of when they receive registration certificates. Members can store a calf crop electronically and can wait to release the certificates until all performance data are recorded or after a genetic evaluation.

There is no additional charge to store or to release registration certificates. Email MyHerd@hereford.org to sign up for electronic storage of certificates.

Taking the Next Step as a New Member Welcome, new member, We look forward to having you as a member of the American Hereford Association (AHA). We hope this handbook answers some of your questions as you begin your membership. Each month new members receive “New Member Notes” by email during their first year of membership. It includes tips and resources to help members become more involved in the AHA plus additional

information regarding AHA programs and activities. If you did not provide an email address with your membership application, send an email to records@hereford.org and request your email address to be added to your account. We are always here to serve you. If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask.

Sincerely, AHA Customer Service

Hereford Registration 4-1-1 Members have the choice of registering as a pedigree or performance breeder.

If a registry type was not declared, then you’re automatically enrolled as a pedigree breeder.

Pedigree registry:

Pedigree breeders can register and transfer cattle but do not maintain and report performance data to the AHA. Production of expected progeny differences (EPDs) is waived on their herd.

Registry type

Performance registry:

Performance breeders participate in the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) system and are required to maintain a female inventory, report calving ease and weaning information annually on the progeny of every female in the inventory. EPDs are printed on the registration certificate.

To learn more about becoming a performance breeder and the ability to register calves with EPDs, go to Hereford.org/TPR or contact AHA Customer Service.

Electronic:

The AHA has a real-time online registration system called MyHerd.org. Members may sign up for a free online account and register their calves electronically.

Electronic registrations receive a discount and registration information is made available in real time. Email your AHA member number to MyHerd@hereford.org to have an account set up or if you have already signed up, log on now at MyHerd.org.

The cost of registration is determined by the age of the calf at the time of registration (see MEMBER REGISTRATON RATES table on Page 2).

In addition to the registration cost/head, lifetime, adult and junior memberships require an

How to pay

Paper:

The AHA has a traditional paper registration application for members who prefer to register by postal mail. A registration application is provided in your new member packet. It is a two-sided form, and the back must be completed to submit transfer on entry and sireowner signature information.

If you do not have a registration form, call AHA Customer Service to have a form mailed to you or go to the “Rules & Forms” library at Hereford.org to download and print.

annual member service fee of $100 ($20 for junior members) in order to register an animal during the current fiscal year. The fiscal year is Sept. 1 through Aug. 31. Each paid adult member service fee generates a one-year subscription to the Hereford World magazine.

The basic concept of beef cattle performance records is to measure genetic differences between animals for traits of economic importance. The American Hereford Association (AHA) recognizes the importance of performance records in today’s beef industry and, through Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™), can provide a system flexible enough to meet the needs of the most sophisticated recordkeeping breeder or those who desire to keep only the basics.

Within-herd and contemporary-group records generated through Whole Herd TPR are measures for calving intervals, birth weights, weaning weights, yearling weights, scrotal circumference, hip height/ frame measures and ratios for most of these measures.

Good within-herd records include information obtained at birth, weaning, yearling and ultrasound carcass data.

These within-herd and contemporarygroup records are adjusted for known environmental sources of variation in animal performance such as age of dam, age of calf, etc.

Competition for commercial industry purchasing power between and within breeds is keen, and those breeders who document their seedstock’s performance for the commercial man’s investment have a distinct advantage in today’s beef

industry as it moves toward “specification production” from conception to slaughter.

Whole Herd TPR is a system of registration and performance tracking whereby every participating breeder updates his/her cow herd inventory annually and is charged for performance data on a per cow basis as opposed to a per calf basis. The system is positively endorsed by the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF), a North American umbrella organization of beef breed associations, beef producers, researchers and the academic community. With this system, the AHA measures economically relevant beef production traits such as fertility, longevity and reproductive efficiency. Furthermore, the greater volume of data reported from each herd for measured growth and carcass traits enhances the accuracy of Hereford expected progeny differences (EPDs).

Participation in Whole Herd TPR is voluntary and breeders may choose to maintain pedigree records without recording performance information, so EPDs or other performance information is not printed on their registry certificates.

Call the AHA to get your herd enrolled in the performance registry program, set up a MyHerd.org account or if you are currently enrolled and have questions.

Whole Herd TPR steps: The AHA invoices the breeder for his or her inventory costs in accordance with the number and kind of animals reported.

Step 1

Show an accurate inventory record of each female in your herd that is expected to calve in your selected season.

Step 2

Once calving is completed, breeders are required to return a Birth Information Worksheet (Form 1) to the AHA with the birth information for every female enrolled in that season, including data on any that failed to calve, lost a calf, etc.

Step 3

Member submits completed Birth Report/ Weaning Worksheet (Form 2) reporting weaning weight information or a disposal code for animals not weighed.

Step 4

When the breeder returns Form 3 to the AHA, a yearling report (Form 4) and a calf crop EPD summary (Form 5) is provided.

Following data submission, the AHA provides a Dam Production Summary Report for each enrolled female.

The AHA returns Birth Information Worksheets (Form 1) to the breeder.

The AHA returns the Birth Report/Weaning Worksheet (Form 2) to the breeder.

The AHA returns the Weaning Report/ Yearling Worksheet (Form 3) to the breeder.

Note: Yearling information is not mandatory.

If ultrasound carcass data is collected, technician submits carcass data directly to an AHA-approved ultrasound lab that will process the data and forward results to the AHA for database inclusion.

Gold TPR Breeders

The Gold TPR Breeder recognition is presented to progressive Hereford breeders who have measured traits, collected and promptly submitted performance data at all levels of production. Breeders must meet a specific set of requirements in order to be eligible for the program.

• Herd inventory submitted prior to inventory surcharge deadline.

• Complete reporting of calving ease and reproductive status for each dam on inventory.

• Complete reporting of birth, weaning and yearling weights for all live calves recorded in the calf crop.

• Complete reporting of scrotal measurements for each bull calf with a recorded yearling weight.

• Ultrasound data reported on 25% or more of the calf crop.

Platinum TPR Breeders

The Platinum TPR Breeder is the highest level of achievement when it comes to complete calf crop reporting. Breeders must meet all the requirements of Gold TPR Breeder status, plus they must also genotype 85% of the calves with a weaning weight submitted.

The time requirement to do this will fall under the same two-year compliancy rule. The results of the genotype need to be completed by Jan. 1 of the recognition year.

More frequent genetic evaluations

In December 2017, the AHA implemented several updates to its genetic evaluation that include the implementation of a Single Step model for better incorporation of genomics, the ability to calculate, not estimate, EPD accuracies and allowing only animals to enter the evaluation that are born after the advent of Whole Herd TPR but also include three generations of pedigree. Along with this, key economically relevant traits (ERTs), as well as updated economic parameters, are included in the three revised selection indexes. The updates of all of these techniques have allowed the AHA to offer a very reliable and comprehensive genetic evaluation that embraces the most up-to-date technology.

Just as important, the AHA’s genetic evaluation runs weekly and releases evaluations each Monday morning. To be included in the Monday update, data must be submitted by midnight two Saturdays prior. For example, for data to be reflected in the EPD release that

will occur on Aug. 15, 2022, data will need to be submited by Aug. 6, 2022.

Planning ahead is crucial to be sure all phenotypic data (weights and ultrasound information), as well as genotypes, are submitted well in advance to ensure appropriate data is reflected in the EPD.

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

Dry Matter Intake (DMI) – The DMI EPD predicts the daily consumption of pounds of feed.

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

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

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

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

Commercial Programs The American Hereford Association (AHA) is committed to growing demand for Hereford genetics and providing breeders tools backed by uncompromised data and sound research that drive profit. Developing tools to provide commercial cattlemen with information to advance their programs through heterosis is a major focus of the AHA. The Hereford Advantage, Premium Red Baldy and Maternal Advantage programs are marketing resources developed to assist commercial cattlemen with incorporating Hereford genetics into their programs more successfully and adding value to their operations. For producers wanting to learn more about their genetics and collect valuable data, the Hereford Feedout Program is a great opportunity to do just that.

Hereford Advantage Program

Designed to identify superior Hereford-influenced feeder cattle, the Hereford Advantage program includes components geared to add value to feeder cattle, including genetic merit, health and management practice verification. This tagging program is offered in conjunction with IMI Global, an industry-leading source for thirdparty verification of food production practices in North America.

To enroll in the program, visit HerefordAdvantage.com to download and complete the enrollment form.

The program costs $3 per head (no minimum enrollment required), which includes verification and program electronic identification tag costs. During the enrollment process, an expected progeny difference (EPD) and profit index summary for the submitted bull battery will be developed and provided to producers, allowing them to track genetic merit for future selection decisions. Participating producers will also receive additional marketing support and exposure through this program and qualifying cattle will be listed on the AHA’s “Feeder Cattle Listings” page at HerefordMarketplace.com.

Program Requirements: • Source and age (required IMI base verification) • Genetic merit › Minimum of 50% Hereford genetics

› Bull battery ranking in top 50% of breed for Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$)* profit index (bull battery average) › Bull ownership transferred (all bulls) • Vaccination program — two rounds of preweaning vaccinations (minimum) • BQA certification * The CHB$ is a terminal sire index that is built on a production system where Hereford bulls are used on British-cross cows with a focus on gain and end-product merit.

Premium Red Baldy Program

Premium Red Baldy is a tagging program designed to take advantage of hybrid vigor by maximizing the best traits of both Hereford and Red Angus breeds and providing commercial producers with premium replacement females. The program has the ideal balance of maternal and carcass traits, which will yield cattle poised to increase the profitability of the commercial producer. Premium Red Baldy uses genetics supported by the only two beef breed associations backed by whole herd reporting.

Producers interested in participating will be required to provide registration numbers for Hereford or Red Angus sires to enroll. Once verification is complete, program tags can be purchased for $0.99 each. Enrolled groups of Premium Red Baldy females will receive added market exposure and will be listed on the “Commercial Female Listings” page at HerefordMarketplace.com. For more information and to contact your respective breed representative, visit PremiumRedBaldy.org.

Program Requirements: • Female-only program — No steers will be tagged in this non-PVP tagging program.

• Females must be sired by a bull battery ranking in the top 50% of the breed for Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) or Profitability and Sustainability Index (ProS – Red Angus). Registration must also be transferred to the participating producer.

• Breed type must be predominately

Since its inception in 2000, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) has experienced monumental milestones, but none more exciting than net assets surpassing the $5 million mark at the end of the last fiscal year. As the foundation strives to pay it forward and create a legacy for future generations, HYFA’s commitment to Hereford youth is only continuing to grow.

From classroom settings, to feedyards and different events both in and out of the showring, HYFA and its army of supporters are steadfast when it comes to supporting Hereford youth. We invite you to check out the foundation’s new and improved website at HerefordYouthFoundation.org and learn how we are paving the way for the next $5 million designated to give back to future generations.

When the foundation was established, net assets totaling $218,000 from the two youth foundations, including the American Hereford Youth Foundation and the American Polled Hereford Youth Foundation, Inc., were blended together and HYFA was born. Prior to 2000, there was a host of individuals that were responsible for raising money over the years, including much work from the two women’s groups.

Twenty years later, the village of supporters grows and our donor network includes year-round breeder and corporate support and a host of fundraising efforts, including funding from the National Hereford Women.

At the third annual Harvest Gala in October of 2005, the $5 million capital campaign was unveiled. This campaign would serve as the backbone of the HYFA Scholarship program and through its funding would support educational programs of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA). That first HYFA board of directors had a vision. It has been inspirational to watch this vision come to fruition as net assets continue to grow, and we continue to give back more and more each year.

Scholarship

Each spring and fall, Hereford youth reap the benefits of the foundation, and this year was no exception as NJHA members were awarded more than $181,000 in scholarships. To add to the excitement, this equates to close to $1.5 million in scholarships since HYFA was founded. Each year the scholarship selection committees continue to be impressed by the high caliber

of college-aged students who apply for scholarship funds, and there is nothing more rewarding than watching HYFA scholarship winners go on to be leaders in their fields and give back to the foundation.

Leadership

Many junior members additionally have benefited from the Faces of Leadership program that HYFA and the Coley-Malir Leadership Endowment have helped to fund over the last several years. This spring, thanks to the generous hospitality of GKB Cattle and Gary and Kathy Buchholz, the first annual BOLD Conference was held, giving junior members ages 18-22 a platform to build on their leadership development.

Education

Through the years, the foundation has expanded and helped fund a diverse and exciting line up of additional programs and opportunities for Hereford youth, one being the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE).

To help with these unique programs and keep the tradition growing, HYFA started and maintains a legacy fund and a steering committee to ensure the sustainability of this flagship event.

The Fed Steer Shootout is another HYFA-funded program where our youth can compete. It offers participants a unique opportunity to follow their cattle through the feedlot and beyond, showcasing what their genetics are producing at the consumer level and expanding their knowledge beyond the showring.

Research

In addition to these junior competitions, learning and scholarship opportunities, HYFA also houses a research fund component, which the AHA utilizes to fund research projects benefiting the total membership of the Hereford breed. So, whether you are looking to support our juniors through scholarships, the showring or wanting your contributions to be used for research or other purposes, we welcome you to get in touch with us, and we can work together to identify the best fit.

A huge thank you to all of those who have supported HYFA’s journey to better the next generation. We look forward to many more exciting opportunities as we embark on the next $5 million.

Mission Statement

The National Junior Hereford Association’s (NJHA) mission is to create and promote enthusiasm for the Hereford breed while providing opportunities through leadership, education and teamwork, thus ensuring a brighter future for youth and the cattle industry.

The NJHA is one of the largest, strongest and most active junior programs in the country, not just the beef industry. The NJHA, through its extensive leadership programs, continues to lay the foundation for the next generation of beef industry producers and leaders. Watching the juniors grow from young participants and exhibitors through the programs laid out for them to flourish into strong adults and leaders is truly inspirational. Past junior directors and members now lead the beef industry in a variety of roles, using skills they developed through the association and the junior board.

The NJHA membership continues to grow from 3,545 active members in 2019 to a membership of more than 3,900 with 39 state associations.

Do you want to be a member of the NJHA? If you are under the age of 22 and love Hereford cattle, this is the place for you, and you are eligible. Simply fill out the online form found on the website, JrHereford.org. Then you’re on your way to becoming a junior member in one of the largest beef breed organizations in the world.

Junior National Hereford Expo

One of the largest beef breed shows in the U.S., the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) continues to stay strong despite the tumultuous events of the past two years. This is the highlight of the NJHA’s summer activities, providing a place for members across the country to connect through their love for the Hereford breed and develop as leaders during different educational contests.

The 2022 theme is “Banners in the Bluegrass,” and junior members can’t wait to hit the green chips, July 16-22, in Louisville, Ky. Make sure to mark your calendars as next year’s JNHE will be in Madison, Wis., at the Alliant Energy Center.

Building on Leadership Development

Within the mission statement of NJHA, leadership is a key component of cultivating the young members of the Hereford breed. That means that showing the best livestock is not the only component of the NJHA, and the Faces of Leadership Conference and new BOLD Conference are perfect examples of that.

Faces of Leadership travels to different locations across the country, touring universities, exploring industry-leading innovators and developing leadership skills.

The 2022 conference will be held in Billings, Mont., Aug. 3-6, where the sky is the limit to leadership. This conference is open to junior members between the ages of 14-21 and is made possible by the Coley-Malir Endowment Fund. We encourage all juniors to participate and grow as individuals.

Fed Steer Shootout

Celebrating the completion of its sixth year, the Fed Steer Shootout is a one-ofa-kind experience for NJHA members.

This program focuses on the cattle feeding sector of the beef industry and is hosted by HRC Feed Yards in Scott City, Kan. Cattle competing in the 2022 contest arrived at the feedlot toward the end of 2021 weighing 500-800 pounds.

Throughout the months that the cattle are on feed, participants learn during a number of sessions taught by feedlot industry professionals, from feed yard employees to on-site veterinarians to pharmaceutical sales representatives and everyone in between. The goal is to offer them a well-rounded view of the sector of the beef industry that is so vital to feeding the world. These informational sessions come with quizzes, and scores on these quizzes are taken into account to provide awards and prizes at the end of the feeding phase.

In addition to these virtual lessons, NJHA hosted the second Fed Steer Shootout Field Day at HRC Feed Yards in April. This educational event brought juniors and their families together to see their steers on feed and to gain a better understanding about the cattle feeding industry and the path the steers took once they were delivered to the feed yard in December. Highlighting the field day this year was a series of workshops hosted by Cargill Protein North America, focusing on fabrication, processing, animal handling and grading, giving juniors an up-close look at the beef processing side of the industry.

The cost of college, universities and trade schools can be daunting, and it is the goal of the NJHA and the Hereford Youth Foundation (HYFA) to lessen that burden.

Awarding close to $200,000 each year, donors and fundraising continue to grow, providing more and more scholarship opportunities for higher education. Spring scholarships have a deadline of April 1, to be awarded at the JNHE, and fall scholarships are due Sept. 1, awarded at the American Hereford Association’s Annual Meeting.

Leading Leaders

The NJHA focuses on leadership for all of its members, but an elected few are chosen to lead those leaders. Voted on by their peers and other members, each year four new young people are selected to serve a three-year term on the NJHA

board of directors. Elected at the junior membership annual meeting held in conjunction with the JNHE, candidates campaign to be a leader for the coming years of the NJHA. Traveling to various shows and activities across the country is one component of being a director, as well as the planning of different events for the rest of the junior membership. Serving on this board creates some of the most well-rounded leaders of their age and builds a strong foundation for the breed’s future. NJHA board applications are due June 1 each year, and all guidelines, bylaws and requirements may be found at JrHereford.org.

2022 Hereford Handbook | 13

Hereford Show Information AHA Show Rules • All cattle entered, including calves on the side of cow-calf pairs and senior yearlings, must be registered in the Herd Book of the American Hereford Association (AHA). Entries with registrations “pending” or illegible tattoos or improper tattoos as shown on the registration certificate at check-in time are ineligible for competition. Exhibitors are subject to the Association’s special rule on class qualification. Entries in these classes are accepted with the understanding that the exhibitor agrees to abide by the rule in all respects.

• The exhibition of cattle displaying false hair will not be allowed.

• Any product administered internally or used externally to alter the conformation of an animal for exhibition is prohibited. This includes the use of graphite, hemp or other similar substances externally and steroids or growth stimulants internally.

• The act of artificially filling animals internally, which includes stomach pumping, drench tubes or any other method by mouth or esophagus, is prohibited.

• All animals shown in group classes must have been shown in their respective single-age class. No transfer from one (1) breed to another, after entry, will be permitted.

• Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) values will be provided to the judge and audience for all animals shown. Animals without EPD data are eligible to show but will have N/A (not available) in place of missing data.

• Any animal without a legible tattoo will not be eligible to show.

• All Hereford animals must be officially recorded (registered) 30 days prior to show date to be eligible to show at a National Hereford Show.

• An animal that is scurred (scurs are small, rudimentary horns that are loosely attached to the head, which are considered to be expressed only in animals that are

• • • • •

genetically heterozygous for the polled gene) will show in the polled division of Hereford shows. Once an animal is confirmed to be scurred by an AHA field representative, then this designation will be placed on the animal’s registration papers. Once this determination has been made and reported to the AHA office, then the owner may remove the scurs. Animals with scurs removed will show in the polled division of Hereford shows. Once an animal is confirmed polled or scurred, it will retain this designation forever.

The individual classes will be made up and divided after the cattle are checked in at the show. They will be judged from the youngest to the oldest animal within each class.

It is recommended by the AHA Show Committee that classes with 10 or more head be considered to be split, depending on animals’ birthdates in each particular class.

If the number of classes in a division warrant, a division will be split into multiple divisions Calves on the side of cow-calf pairs and senior yearlings MUST BE the cow’s natural calf and fully registered with the AHA. For cattle exhibited at the Cattlemen’s Congress and National Western Stock Show: › Exhibitors with senior bull calves and/or intermediate, yearling and senior bulls are required to provide a licensed veterinarian’s statement indicating the bull has been semen checked and evaluated as fertile. Semen evaluation is to occur within 90 days of the show. This statement must be presented at check-in during the Cattlemen’s Congress and National Western Stock Show. › Exhibitors with females in the spring and junior yearling divisions must be confirmed pregnant within 45 days of show by a licensed veterinarian or by blood test or show with a calf at side.

AHA Show Classifications The decision to have both a Hereford and polled Hereford show or to have a combined show will be left up to the discretion of the state breed associations and show management.

National junior show ownership rule

Cow-calf pairs, females and steers may be jointly owned by siblings provided all are individual members of the National Junior Hereford Association and are between the ages of 7 and 22 as of Jan. 1 of the current year. No animal is eligible to compete if recorded in joint ownership (other than the sibling rule) or ownership of farm or family name.

Points for national and regional show bull and show female of the year will be based on the Regional Show Point System. Animals do not have to show in a regional show in order to be eligible for show bull or female of the year in the respective four quadrants. An animal may only win show bull or female of the year for one quadrant per year. Ownership percentage followed by ownership succession (breeder, first owner, second owner, etc.) will determine from which quadrant the animal will be recognized.

AHA point shows and awards • Official results from the show staff must be submitted within 30 days of completion of the show.

• Results must contain the following: › Eight-digit AHA registration number › Complete registration name as recorded in the AHA registration system › Owner(s) as listed on the papers from the AHA registration system • In order for results to be included in the calculation for show animals of the year, shows must have at least 25 head exhibited at the show.

• Shows that are listed as a national or regional point show as specified by the AHA show and sale committee will submit results to Bailey Clanton with the AHA at bclanton@hereford.org or mail them to American Hereford Association, Attn: Bailey Clanton, 11500 N. Ambassador Dr., Ste. 410, Kansas City, MO 64153.

At the AHA Annual Membership Meeting and Conference and National Hereford Show in Kansas City, Mo., the Association will recognize four national show animals of the year, 16 regional show animals of the year and recognize eight regional premier exhibitors of the year.

• National Show Bull and Female of the Year for horned and polled • Regional Show Bull and Female of the Year for horned and polled • Regional Premier Exhibitor for horned and polled

AHA Rules and Regulations SECTION I: MEMBERSHIP A. Membership Types

1. Life membership 2. Annual (recording) membership 3. Junior membership 4. Non-resident membership

B. Life membership Life memberships that were purchased in the past will continue to be recognized by the Association. Life members only pay member service fees and do not pay dues. Life members may attend all meetings of the Association. They have voting rights at all official membership meetings as long as they are active members (have registered at least one animal in the previous calendar year). Life members receive member rate fees for registering and transferring Hereford cattle.

Life memberships can be transferred to immediate family members; however, the membership name must remain the same.

C. Annual (recording) membership Recording memberships are annual memberships issued by the Association in the name of an individual, farm or ranch, partnerships or corporation. To remain active, the recording members must pay annual dues on the anniversary date of their joining as a recording member. Recording members may attend all meetings of the Association. They have voting rights at all official membership meetings as long as they are active members (have registered at least one animal in the previous calendar year).

Recording members receive member rate fees for registering and transferring Hereford cattle.

D. Junior membership Junior membership in the Association is available to anyone under 22 years of age. The fee for junior membership is $15, assessed annually on Sept. 1. The junior membership is available until the holder reaches his or her 22nd birthday. At that time, he/she may acquire an adult (life or recording) membership. Junior members have all of the privileges of recording members (except voting) including member rate fees for registering and transferring Hereford cattle, as well as participating in junior activities and scholarships.

E. Non-resident membership Non-resident members are non-voting members residing in another country that wish to take advantage of member services including registry, total performance recording, selling of semen to members, and transfer of ownership of animals to other members. Nonresident members are subject to the same rules and fees as U.S. resident members.

F. Annual member service fee Lifetime, recording and junior memberships require an annual member service fee of $100 ($20 for junior members) in order to register an animal during the current fiscal year. The fiscal year is Sept. 1 through Aug. 31. Each paid member service fee will generate a one-year subscription to the Hereford World magazine (except in the case of a junior membership). This fee is used to offset the costs of several under-funded services offered to active registry accounts.

G. Membership herd designation The Association has two different tiers or levels in which members can participate when registering and transferring Hereford cattle.

The mechanisms for billing of services and services available are different between each of the tiers; therefore, each membership account must be designated as to which tier or level the member’s herd will participate. Each membership can have only one participation level designation. The two tiers and a brief description of each are as follows:

Pedigree registry: This participation level is designed for breeders who wish to register and transfer purebred Hereford cattle but are not interested in maintaining and reporting performance data to AHA. Pedigree registry breeders can submit registry and transfer applications on a per-head fee basis established by the Board of Directors. Pedigree breeders choose to waive performance recording on their animals and, therefore, waive the production of expected progeny differences (EPDs) on their herd.

Performance registry: This participation level is structured and oriented to simplify the billing and reporting of performance testing herds. Registry and transfer fees are assessed at the same rate as for pedigree breeders. Performance registry breeders are also required to maintain an accurate and up-to-date female inventory, listing all females currently in their breeding herd with AHA. Performance registry breeders are required to annually report calving ease and weaning weight information on the produce of every female in the inventory. Additional measures including birth and yearling weights, as well as carcass traits, can be reported but are not required. EPDs will be printed on the certificate.

EPDs will only be reported on registered animals. Non-registered animals or genetic material will not be provided EPDs.

SECTION II: AHA RECORDS, RULES AND POLICY Application for registration of your calves is a part of the record keeping requirement of Hereford cattle. Extra careful attention to detail in submitting applications for registration will save time for you and your Association. Be sure all information is supplied and that information is accurate and legible. Applying for registry of your calves when they are still young (four months or younger) is important, SINCE IT REDUCES THE RISK OF ERROR AND SAVES YOU BOTH TIME AND MONEY. There is one basic form used by the Association for registration application. Breeders participating at the pedigree registry level should disregard the fields of information used to submit birth performance data. Reports generated from the processing of registration applications will be appropriate for the breeder’s level of participation.

Tattooing calves Tattoos are a requirement for registry in the American Hereford Record. Hereford breeders were the first to adopt the ear tattoo as a requirement for registry.

A tattoo outfit consists of a pair of specially designed pliers with rows of digits numbered 0 to 9 and a bottle of India ink. Such equipment may be purchased from most livestock supply stores.

Select the desired number by rotating the digits in the ear marker.

Before punching the animal’s ear, assure yourself that everything is in order by punching a piece of cardboard.

Next, restrain the calf’s head to prevent violent movement while applying the tattoo. Select a spot in the center of the ear and clean thoroughly with a cloth and rubbing alcohol. Avoid placing the tattoo over one of the ribs of the ear, but rather place the tattoo between the ribs of the ear. Place the ear between the jaws of the pliers with the numbers or letters on the inside of the ear. Close the pliers quickly and firmly, and then release. Use a finger or toothbrush to smear ink over the punctures made by the tattoo and rub thoroughly until ink is worked into each of the holes. Make a written record of the marks placed in the ear. It is strongly advised that breeders place the tattoo in both ears to enhance the chances that a complete tattoo identity can be established.

Herd Book of the American Hereford Association Rule 1. OFFICIAL RECORD: The official record of the Association shall be the American Hereford Record. Such record shall be maintained in the AHA office.

2022 Hereford Handbook | 25

AHA Rules and Regulations continued

Rule 2. HERD BOOK: Entries in the American Hereford Record shall contain the registration number, name, sex, tattoo, date of birth, name and registry number of the sire and dam and the name of the breeder.

SECTION III: REGISTRATIONS Rule 1. PRIVILEGES OF REGISTRATION: Applications for entry will only be accepted from members. Non-members must become members in order to register an animal.

Rule 2. ELIGIBILITY: To be eligible for entry in the American Hereford Record, an animal must be the offspring of registered parents, both of which have been previously recorded in the American Hereford Record. Both horned and polled Herefords are eligible for entry into the record.

Herefords registered in other associations (members of the World Hereford Council) can be entered in the American Hereford Record, thereby making their offspring eligible for registration.

Rule 3. APPLICATION FOR ENTRY: Application for entry should be made on the official application form (FORM 1) or through an official AHA approved electronic software system.

Rule 4. AGE OF SIRE: There is no minimum or maximum age specified for a Hereford sire or his progeny to be eligible for entry.

However, applications indicating the sire was less than nine months of age at time of service will be questioned for accuracy.

Rule 5. AGE OF DAM: There is no minimum or maximum age specified for a Hereford dam or her progeny to be eligible for entry.

However, applications indicating that the dam was less than nine months of age at time of conception will be questioned for accuracy.

Rule 6. 283-DAY RULE: A calf born less than 283 days after the birth of its dam’s previous calf will be questioned. The breeder must then provide an explanation for the early delivery and a ruling will be made as to whether the entry will be allowed.

Rule 7. 21-DAY RULE: Females exposed to one bull must not be exposed to another bull in less than 21 days after such exposure.

Avoiding double or multiple exposures will help provide positive identification of the service sire. Exposure to a second bull in less than 21 days might mean the correct service sire cannot be positively identified, requiring DNA typing of both sires, the dam and the calf.

Rule 8. DNA TYPING: • All Hereford bulls born after Jan. 1, 2011, are required to be DNA typed at the official AHA DNA laboratory before their progeny can be registered.

• Whenever the eligibility for registration of any animal is in doubt because of uncertain or unknown parentage, DNA typing by the Association shall be required.

Rule 9. MULTIPLE BIRTH: Twins or other multiple birth calves are eligible for registration. The application for registry, however, should specify such at birth.

Rule 10. TATTOO: Calves must be tattooed before application for registry is made. Each breeder may devise his own plan or system of tattoo identification using either numbers or letters or a combination of both. Any marks other than numbers or letters, however, are not permitted — meaning brand marks, symbols, etc. cannot be used.

Duplication of tattoos within your herd is strongly discouraged as tattoos are frequently used by breeders as a primary form of identification. Duplication can lead to much confusion for breeder and the Association office alike.

The tattoo in one ear shall be limited to a maximum of eight characters. If the tattoo should become illegible, the same marking shall be placed in a different area of the ear. No attempt shall be made to alter or over-imprint the old tattoo. The Association must be notified when an animal is retattooed.

Rule 11. NAMING HEREFORDS: It is the responsibility of the owner to select names for his cattle. The name must not be 26 | 2022 Hereford Handbook

more than 30 spaces long, counting spaces between words. For example, PRINCE DOMINO ADVANCE JUNO 133 is exactly 30 spaces long. Brands, symbols and commas cannot be used. Avoid duplicating names as no two Herefords should be named the same.

It is the breeder’s responsibility to avoid using names and prefixes that are being used by other breeders. Names should be appropriate for the gender of the animal, and it is recommended that names reflect the line of breeding where possible. Embryo transfer calves will carry the designation embryo transfer (ET) at the end of their name, accounting for three spaces.

The Association reserves the right to change the name assigned to an animal on an application for registry if the name submitted is deemed to be inappropriate.

Rule 12. CHANGING NAMES: The name of a Hereford may be changed, provided the animal has no registered offspring. The name may be changed only once in the lifetime of an animal. All owners must agree to the name change in the case of a partnership-owned animal. Letters must be submitted from the first and all current owners requesting the change of name along with the certificate and required fee.

Rule 13. JOINT OWNERSHIP (BREEDING INTEREST): No application for registration or transfer of an animal which shows more than four owners shall be accepted for entry in the American Hereford Record.

Rule 14. DUPLICATE CERTIFICATES: If original certificates are lost or destroyed, the owner may secure duplicates from the Association by providing the sex, registry number and tattoo of each animal. If the registry number is not available, the registration number of the dam, name of the person who registered the animal, and the sex, age and tattoo of the animal in question must be provided.

The fee for duplicate certificates for members and non-members is available from the AHA Records Department.

Rule 15. CORRECTION OF CERTIFICATES: It is recognized that occasionally errors are committed in registering cattle, and these should be corrected. If an error is discovered, it should be reported to the Association immediately and the incorrect certificate returned with a letter of explanation.

Corrections are made without charge if done within six months of the issue date or if the Association made the error. The fee for making corrections after the six-month period is available from the AHA Records Department.

Rule 16. ARTIFICIAL SERVICE: Calves may be registered that were produced through artificial insemination (AI) provided they comply with the rules governing AI as discussed in SECTION V: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION. Rule 17. ELIGIBILITY FOR EMBRYO TRANSPLANT CALVES: Registration of offspring resulting from embryo transplant (ET) shall be made on an Application for Registration (Form 1).

Certificates issued shall be designated by ET following the name of the calf. The name must be no longer than 30 characters long including the ET designation.

Registry of offspring resulting from ET may be implemented only after the following steps have been taken: • DNA profile of sire and donor dam must be recorded with the Association. DNA profile kits are available from the Association. The names and registry numbers of the animals to be tissue sampled must be supplied.

• Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service must accompany the application for each calf when the sire is not in the same recorded ownership as the donor dam.

Rule 17A. NEW EMBRYO TRANSFER POLICY: For ET calves there will no longer be an ET certificate required for registration.

The new requirement for registering an ET calf will be the reporting of the recovery date of the embryo at the time of registry. ET calves

AHA Rules and Regulations continued

will be charged an additional $10 per head over and above the normal registry rate.

Rule 18. LEASING HEREFORDS: Herefords may be leased, provided a statement of lease is on file with the Association. If a lease statement is on file listing each animal being leased by name and registration number, the lessee can register calves sired by the bulls or produced by the cows as if he were the actual owner, provided there are no more than three owners already listed.

At the end of the lease period, unless extended, registration privileges revert back to the recorded owner.

In order to make this process more efficient and less confusing, the Association will adopt the following policies regarding leasing Hereford cattle: • The required information needed by the Association for leasing animals will be communicated using one consistent and common lease form to be used by all members wishing to participate in this type of practice. The lease form will contain only the required information for the Association’s needs and is to be used expressly for that intent. The lease form should not be construed as a binding agreement between the lessor and lessee. The Association shall in no way be involved in or assume liability for the lease, terms of the lease of registered Herefords, or the passage of legal rights thereto.

• All lease periods must include a beginning and ending date; no open-ended leases will be accepted.

• All animals involved in the lease shall be included on the lease form(s) by their registration number and name.

• The lease form must be submitted by the lessor with his/her signature.

• Should the lessor and lessee agree to extend the lease, documented notification will be required in the Association’s office should the birth dates of any calves being registered out of sire or dams involved in the lease not coincide with the time period of the lease.

• If the lessor or lessee wishes to lease additional or different animals, then an additional lease form(s) should be completed with all required information and submitted by the lessor.

Rule 19. IMPORTED HEREFORDS: Herefords imported from another country must be recorded in the American Hereford Record if their calves are to be registered.

Registration of imported cattle must be accomplished within one year from the date of purchase of imported cattle. See section for the procedures for recording imported cattle or semen interests in bulls from another country.

Rule 20. REGISTRATION OF HEREFORDS OVER TWO YEARS OF AGE: Application for registration of an animal received by the Association after two years from the date of birth shall be considered for registration only when accompanied by a written statement from the applicant setting forth the reason application was not submitted within the generally accepted registration period.

These applications and required fees must be approved by the Board of Directors.

Rule 21. REGISTRATION FOR THE ESTATE OF A DECEASED PERSON: In the event of the death of one who normally would apply for registration of cattle, the Association requires there shall be filed in its office all documents necessary to prove the person requesting registration is legally authorized to do so.

Rule 22. REGISTRATION BY AFFIDAVIT: In case of neglect or refusal by the seller to register a calf sold at side of dam, registration may be approved by the Board of Directors on the basis of the facts furnished to substantiate the claim.

Each affidavit must be accompanied by proof of a sale and payment in full of the purchase price and evidence of whether the dam’s breeding was natural or artificial.

Rule 23. REGISTRATION ACCURACY: Accurately kept private

records are essential, and in any case where an application is regarded as questionable, the burden of the proof with regard to same shall belong to the applicant, who must sustain his claims by a preponderance of evidence.

Whenever the accuracy of data contained in an application to register an animal is challenged, the matter may be referred to the Board of Directors for investigation.

Rule 24. MISREPRESENTATION OR FRAUD: If an animal’s registration has been obtained through misrepresentation or fraud, or if the date of birth, tattoo number, sire, dam or service information or any other fact regarding the animal has been misrepresented, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems necessary.

SECTION IV: TRANSFER OF REGISTRATIONS Rule 1. RESPONSIBILITY: It is the responsibility of the seller of registered Herefords to execute properly the official transfer of ownership to the buyer. Every change of ownership of an animal used for breeding purposes must be recorded by official transfer on the American Hereford Record.

No entry on the face of the certificate of registry shall be made except in the office of the Association and any unauthorized entry shall render a certificate null and void, subject to issuance of a replacement certificate at an additional fee.

Rule 2. IDENTIFICATION: It shall be the duty of the seller, before offering a registered Hereford for sale or applying for transfer, to verify that the animal carries legible tattoo marks matching those entered on its certificate.

Rule 3. APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER: Application for transfer shall be made either electronically through AHA’s online service or in hard copy form on the reverse side of the registration certificate and signed by the seller or an authorized agent. The application should be legibly completed and must specify name and location of the buyer and date of delivery. For bred females, service information is also required.

Rule 4. COWS WITH CALF AT SIDE: When a cow is transferred with a calf at side, the calf must first be registered to the individual, partnership or corporation in whose name the cow was registered on the date of birth of the calf. A separate transfer of the calf is then required to the new owner. This is often referred to as a “transfer on entry.” (See backside of registration application.)

Rule 5. CALF TRANSFERRED AT TIME OF REGISTRATION: As described above, a calf must first be registered in the membership name of the dam’s owner at the time of birth. Then a separate transfer to the new owner is required.

Rule 6. TRANSFER BY AFFIDAVIT: In the event of neglect or refusal by the seller to apply for transfer of registration, transfer may be recorded if approved by a majority of the Board of Directors on the basis of the facts furnished to substantiate the claim. Each affidavit must be accompanied by proof of sale and payment in full of the purchase price of the animal.

Rule 7. TRANSFERS CONSIGNED TO PUBLIC SALE: Sale managers or their representatives may fill in the buyer’s name on the application for transfer of animals consigned to public sales, and if authorized by the consignor, sign such transfers in his stead. Such applications must indicate the name of the sale manager or agent representing the consignor. Applications executed under this rule are subject to Rule 12 of this section.

Rule 8. TRANSFER FROM THE ESTATE OF A DECEASED PERSON: In the event of the death of the owner of Hereford cattle, the Association requires that there should be filed in its office, documents showing the person requesting transfer is legally authorized and entitled to request such transfer. Applications executed under this rule are also subject to Rule 13 of this section.

2022 Hereford Handbook | 27

AHA Rules and Regulations continued

Rule 9. TRANSFER OF EXPORTED ANIMALS: Application for transfer of an animal exported to another country shall be made with a regular Transfer Application.

Rule 10. RESPONSIBILITY OF LEGAL TITLE: A transfer of registration on the records of the American Hereford Association is not to be construed as the conveyance of legal title by the Association. The Association shall in no way be involved in or assume liability for the purchase, sale or terms of the sale of registered Herefords or the passage of legal title thereto.

Rule 11. JOINTLY OWNED ANIMALS: No animal shall be transferred to more than four owners of record at any one time.

A “syndicate” or similar type entity consisting of one or more individuals, firms, etc., may be listed as one or more of the four designated owners of record.

Rule 12. MISREPRESENTATION OR FRAUD: If an animal’s registration has been transferred through misrepresentation or fraud, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate as provided in Article IX of the Bylaws, including, without limitation, suspension of the animal’s registration and any registrations of descendants of such animal and refusals of the Association to receive subsequent application of any kind from any person implicated in the misrepresentation or fraud.

Rule 13. AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE: A certificate of registry does not establish legal ownership of cattle but simply reflects the name in which cattle are registered on the books of the Association. The Association will usually make any requested change or transfer of cattle registration upon the presentation, to the Association, of the Registry Certificate covering the cattle and purporting to be signed with the name in which the Registry Certificate is issued. Due to the large number of transfers, it is impractical for the Association to verify signatures or require proof that the person signing the Registry Certificate and requesting change or transfer is in fact authorized to do so. Accordingly, a Registry Certificate should be kept in a safe place to insure against its falling into the hands of an unauthorized person who could then cause change or transfer of registration on the Association’s books and the issuance of a new Registry Certificate.

If the Association receives conflicting instructions regarding any change or transfer of registration, the Association will, unless restrained by appropriate court order, honor the request of the person presenting the appropriate Registry Certificate.

SECTION V: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION Rule 1. DNA PROFILING: All bulls used in an artificial insemination program must be DNA profiled and a record of their DNA profile must be filed with the Association before calves sired artificially by such bulls shall be eligible for registration or before Non-Owner AI Certificates may be purchased. The official policy of the Association is to use DNA only for parentage verification as of December 2002.

Rule 2. AI BULL PERMIT: The breeder using a bull for artificial breeding purposes must have received an AI bull permit issued by the Association. The Association must have on file a DNA profile report for the bull and his parents before the AI bull permit will be issued.

Rule 3. DEATH OF BULLS: Calves conceived after the death of a bull shall be eligible for registration under the same conditions and provisions governing the eligibility of calves conceived by AI. The Association may request that calves sired by deceased bulls be parentage verified. Ownership of a deceased bull may be transferred if they are AI permitted.

Rule 4. LABELING OF SEMEN: Semen must be properly identified by name and registration number of the bull and the date of collection. Unlabeled or mislabeled semen should not be used to 28 | 2022 Hereford Handbook

produce calves for registration in the American Hereford Record. It shall be the responsibility of the owner of record or each co-owner of record of a bull used artificially to require each person or organization collecting, processing and freezing semen to identify the semen before freezing.

Rule 5. WITHIN HERD USE: No Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service are required to register the resulting offspring when both cow and bull are in the same recorded ownership. When the cow and bull are not in the same recorded ownership, Rule 6 below applies.

Rule 6. OUT-OF-HERD CALVES BY NON-OWNED SIRES: All sires used in AI service must be DNA profiled. Bulls that are DNA profiled after Jan. 1, 1986, must also have both parents’ DNA profiles on file with AHA to qualify for Non-Owner AI Certificates.

A DNA profile may be obtained by sending the appropriate hair samples to AHA’s official DNA lab for processing. DNA profiles from eligible animals, which originate in the official DNA lab of other Hereford associations, will be accepted for processing by AHA. Those sires for which a parent is not available for DNA profiling may only be used for AI service in the herds of the recorded owners, unless such bulls qualify for analysis to provide a derived type for the dead parent. (Contact AHA for further information on this special ruling.)

The following requirements shall apply to register calves conceived artificially when the recorded owner of the female is not the recorded owner or one of the recorded owners of the sire at the time of conception:

Option A:

• A bull may enter the Non-Owner AI Sire Program, which allows the owner(s) of a bull to sell semen without the need of an AI certificate for registration of the offspring of the bull.

Calves born on or after Dec. 1, 2006, are eligible for registry under this program.

• For a bull to be entered into this program, an agreement must be signed by all owners of the bull and kept on file at the AHA. If the bull is owned by a syndicate, the owners listed on the certificate will need to sign the agreement along with the designated representative of the syndicate.

• For a bull to be entered into this program, he must have an AI permit issued (see Rule 2).

• There is a one-time fee of $100 to enter a bull into this program. Once a bull is entered into the program, he will not be allowed to switch back to the certificate program (Option B).

Option B:

• The breeder (recorded owner of the female at time of conception) must obtain a Non-Owner AI Certificate of Service for each calf to be recorded from the individual or firm supplying the semen and such certificates must accompany the application for registration of the resulting offspring.

• The recorded owner of the bull from which the semen was sold is obligated to supply the number of Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service contracted for at the time the semen was purchased.

• Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service may be obtained from the Association by active members of the Association who are the recorded owner or co-owners of the bull at a fee established by the Board of Directors. It is the responsibility of the owner of the dam at the time of service to complete the Non-Owner AI Certificate of Service.

Rule 7. LIMITATIONS: The Board may cancel the Non-Owner AI Permit for any bull which has been scientifically documented as being a carrier of a deleterious gene which produces an economically important genetic defect in his calves.

AHA Rules and Regulations continued

Rule 8. LIMITATIONS: The Board may restrict or limit the number of Non-Owner AI Certificates for an individual bull if, in the judgement of the Board and based on scientific information, such bull is being used so excessively as to cause irreparable damage to the breed’s genetic base.

Rule 9. NON-OWNER SEMEN CERTIFICATE ALLOCATION FOR MULTI-OWNER SIRES: To obtain AI Certificates from a multi-owned sire, one must be a recorded owner or co-owner of the sire. Certificates will be issued on request to any recorded owner.

Contractual agreements regarding certificate privileges among multi-owners are the responsibility of those owners.

In the instance where a recorded owner of the sire is a multiowner group, it is the responsibility of the owner group’s designated spokesman to handle the distribution of non-owner AI semen certificates. Individual members of the multi-owner group, not otherwise recorded as one of the four recorded owners of record of the sire, will be required to secure Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service from a recorded owner in order to register offspring of the sire from their recorded dams.

The Association will provide a service whereby an AHA member can participate in a “Breeding Share Agreement” for bulls. When members participate in a “Breeding Share Agreement,” they can be individually invoiced for AI certificates when calves are registered.

Rule 10. SEMEN DONATIONS TO COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES: The Association will make donated AI Certificates of Service available for use by colleges or universities when a breeder makes a donation of semen from a qualified bull.

The semen certificates will be issued to the college or university at no cost to the breeder. The following rules must be complied with: • The semen must be a donation to the college or university.

• The breeder must apply for the donation certificates in the form of a letter to AHA indicating the institution to which the donation is made.

• The bull must qualify under the current rules for Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service.

• The certificates and semen must be used by the institution that received the donation. Applications for registry from any other party will not be accepted.

• Upon approval by the Association, donated AI Certificates of Service will be issued directly to the college or university.

Rule 11. LIABILITY: The issuance of Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service by the Association should in no way be construed as guaranteeing conception or that the resulting calf shall be eligible for registration. There shall be no refunding of fees paid to the Association for these certificates.

SECTION VI: IMPORTING OF REGISTERED HEREFORDS Rule 1. EXPORT CERTIFICATE: Registration of an animal originally recorded in the Herd Book of a member of the World Hereford Council shall be accepted only if a registry certificate is issued by the recognized registry organization of the country of origin.

Rule 2. APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION: Registration may be applied for within one year by the breeder importing an animal originally recorded in the Herd Book of another member of the World Hereford Council and whose name appears as purchaser on the export certificate. The registry fee must accompany the request for registration.

Rule 3. REGISTRATION OF CALVES IMPORTED IN DAM: If a cow was bred prior to importation and a record of service does not appear on the export certificate, the owner of the sire on the date of service must certify to the particulars of service through the recognized registry organization of the country of origin.

When the imported cow was bred by artificial insemination, there must be on file with the recognized registry organization in the

country of origin a blood type or DNA profile of the service sire.

When the imported dam was bred artificially by a bull owned by a breeder in the U.S. and where no semen interest is owned by the breeder in the exporting country, a Non-Owner AI Certificate of Service must accompany the application for registry of the resulting progeny.

Rule 4. REGISTRATION OF CALVES IMPORTED AT SIDE: Registration of a calf imported at side of its dam shall be accepted only if the calf is also registered in the same recognized registry organization and a registry certificate has been received by the AHA. Rule 5. SEMEN INTEREST IN A BULL DOMICILED IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY: To use semen or to sell Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service, the bull must be recorded in the American Hereford Record by a member (either a member residing in the U.S. or non-resident dues paying member) of the American Hereford Association. All DNA profile rules apply.

Rule 6. REGISTRATION OF CALVES RESULTING FROM EGGS IMPORTED FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY will require a DNA profile match of the subject animal, the sire and the dam on file with the Association.

SECTION VII: DNA PROFILING Rule 1. DNA PROFILING: Over a period of years a vast amount of technical information has become available, and DNA profiling is now a useful tool for Association members.

Applying for the DNA profile of an animal requires a request to AHA for a DNA profile kit for each animal to be tested. The request must include the name and registry number of the animal to be tested.

The kit will contain all the necessary instructions for securing a DNA sample and the shipping instructions to send the sample to the designated AHA laboratory.

Rule 2. AI SIRES: The rules of the Association require all sires of calves conceived artificially to be DNA profiled before their calves are eligible for registration. It is wise to have all herd bulls’ hair sampled early in life to make sure that the semen can be used after their death.

Rule 3. DNA PARENTAGE VERIFICATION OF AI AND ET BORN CALVES: Starting Dec. 1, 2006, the AHA will parentage verify every 250th calf registered with a service type of artificial insemination (AI) or embryo transfer (ET). If a calf is selected for verification under this program, the registration of the calf will be held until the parentage verification is complete. If the calf is from a mating of an AI sire and its dam is not available for sampling, the next calf registered will be selected without interruption of registration. The AHA will assume the DNA lab cost of parentage verification of the calf and DNA profile work on the dam (if required).

Rule 4. ALL ANIMALS: A. The Association may require that any animal which has been registered by the Association be subjected to a DNA profile test to verify breed purity and accuracy of the recorded parentage.

The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors or the Executive Vice President may require that a DNA profile be made, by such agencies as it or he may designate, of any Hereford animal which has been alleged to have been incorrectly recorded or for any animal for which tissue analysis is deemed advisable.

It shall be the duty of the owner of record of any animal in question and the owner of record of the purported sire and dam to afford the Association or its representatives reasonable opportunity to secure DNA samples from the animals involved in the investigation.

2022 Hereford Handbook | 29

AHA Rules and Regulations continued

The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors is empowered to determine who shall pay the costs of any investigation, including laboratory fees assessed under the provisions of this rule.

B. Prior to the filing of an entry application for any animal with respect to which a DNA profile is not on file with the Association, the Association may require the owner of said animal, at the owner’s cost, to provide a DNA sample for such animal to the Association’s designated laboratory and to provide a DNA profile to the Association from the Association’s designated laboratory.

At any Hereford competition, the owner of any animal that wins such competition shall, promptly after the announcement that such animal has won such competition, permit the Association to secure a DNA sample from such animal.

C. If, at any time, the Association is in possession of two (2) or more DNA profiles allegedly from the same animal that do not match, including the winner in any Hereford competition, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may require the Executive Vice President to undertake such investigation as the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee deems appropriate, and, upon the conclusion of such investigation, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate as provided in Article XI of the Bylaws, including without limitation the forfeiture of any prizes including any monetary awards or ribbons awarded to such animal at such competition, the suspension of the registration of the animal in question, the suspension of the owner’s membership or the revocation of the owner’s membership.

Any such investigation may include requiring any owner to permit the Association to secure another DNA sample from such animal.

Rule 5. REFUSAL: If the owner of record shall refuse reasonable opportunity to the Association or its designated agents to secure DNA samples as set forth in Rule 3 of this Section, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate as provided in Article IX of the Bylaws, including without limitation the suspension of the registration of the animal in question.

Rule 6. NON-REGISTERED ANIMALS: The Association may collect and maintain DNA profiles on animals other than registered animals. The Association may, from time to time, compare the DNA profiles of registered animals and the DNA profiles of animals with respect to which applications for registration have been submitted with the DNA profiles of non-registered animals. The Association may deny registration to, or revoke the registration of, any animal based on this comparison.

SECTION VIII: RULES REGARDING CLONES Rule 1. ONLY REPLICATION CELL-CLONED animals shall be eligible for registration.

Rule 2. THE CELL DONOR animal must be DNA-marker typed.

Rule 3. THE BREEDER of the cell-donor animal must be identified as the breeder of the cell-cloned offspring.

Rule 4. THE OWNER OF RECORD of the cell-donor, on the date of biopsy removal, will be identified as the first owner, unless the calf is the result of a pregnant recipient, purchased embryo — fresh or frozen — in which case the purchaser may be identified as the first owner.

Rule 5. DNA MARKER typing of the cell-cloned animal, or recipient dams, may be required by the Association.

Rule 6. CALVES CONCEIVED AFTER DEATH of cell-donor animals shall be eligible for registration under the same conditions and provisions governing the eligibility of calves prior to the death of said animal.

30 | 2022 Hereford Handbook

Rule 7. REGISTRATION OF CELL-CLONED transplants shall be made on a special form, provided by the Association, at the regular fee, plus an additional fee as determined by the Board of Directors.

Rule 8. REGISTRATION CERTIFICATES issued for cell-cloned transplants shall be so designated. The registration number of the animal which is being cell-cloned shall also be stated on the registration certificate.

Rule 9. NOTHING SET FORTH herein should be construed as an indication that the Association takes any position as to the ownership rights, if any, of retained cell material. That is a separate matter reserved for discussion and/or negotiation between the buyer and seller.

Rule 10. INITIAL BREEDING VALUES – EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPDs) generated from National Cattle Evaluation for a cloned animal shall be the same values as the cell-donor animal. All data of future progeny from a cloned animal will be pooled with the cell-donor progeny data for genetic evaluation.

SECTION IX: GENE EDITING The AHA may accept registration of Hereford animals that have an intentional genomic alteration (IGA) produced by genome editing, subject to the following restrictions. Eligibility for registration will be restricted to those animals possessing an IGA that has been appropriately reviewed and approved by the applicable regulatory agency — currently the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Additionally, animals with an IGA applying for registration will be subject to review and approval by the AHA Board of Directors, who will consider the impact of introducing the IGA into the purebred Hereford population, informed by scientific and industry standards and practices at the time application is reviewed.

Application for registration — Members submitting registration applications for a genome-edited animal must follow all current rules for registration of Hereford animals. Additionally, all animals resulting from genome editing must be parent-verified through the AHA official service laboratory. The member applying for registration must provide documentation describing the IGA introduced and the proposed functional difference the IGA creates in the genome-edited animal.

Animal naming — “PB” (Precision Breeding) will appear in the name of all genome-edited animals.

SECTION X: GENETIC DEFECT POLICY Procedures for collecting abnormality data and reporting the information to the AHA membership: Physical and functional abnormalities are present in all breeds of cattle. In order to monitor abnormalities in Hereford cattle, the American Hereford Association requests the collection of abnormality information from AHA members on a voluntary basis.

Specialist Dr. David Steffen, veterinarian for the University of Nebraska Veterinary and Biomedical Science Department, has worked closely with many breeds in the area of genetic abnormalities. The AHA will be working with him to diagnose abnormalities as being genetic or non-genetic in origin.

Not all abnormalities are genetic in origin. Some defects can be attributed to sickness or nutrition. Dr. Steffen works to determine the root cause of the defect.

All AHA members are invited to read the procedures for reporting genetic abnormalities.

A. Reporting Physical Abnormalities to AHA Any AHA member who becomes aware of a possible physical or functional abnormality in an AHA-registered animal shall immediately notify the AHA Director of Breed Improvement at 816-842-3757.

Upon receiving notification of a possible physical functional abnormality, the AHA Records Department will take the following

AHA Rules and Regulations continued

steps to confirm the abnormality and determine if it is genetic in origin: • Provide the member with an abnormality report form, which the member shall promptly complete and return to the AHA; • Provide the member with instructions for collecting and submitting for analysis, as deemed appropriate, blood and tissue samples from the animal in question.

The reporting member shall promptly comply with all AHA instructions regarding the gathering and submission of tissue and blood samples.

B. AHA Genetic Consultant The AHA will refer confirmed physical abnormalities to a genetic consultant for analysis. The genetic consultant shall be chosen by the AHA Board. Currently the genetic consultant is David Steffen, DVM Ph.D., from the University of Nebraska. The AHA genetic consultant is responsible for determining if sufficient evidence exists to establish a definite cause of a particular physical abnormality. All AHA members shall cooperate fully in any investigation necessary to such determination. The genetic consultant will advise the Board of diagnostic criteria for established genetic diseases and will evaluate evidence to determine if diagnostic criteria are met.

Dr. Steffen will perform these evaluations as a pathologist for the Nebraska University Diagnostic Center.

C. Notification to Owners of Affected Animals and Owners of Parents of Affected Animals Once a physical abnormality has been confirmed and parentage has been verified, all owners of record of the abnormal animal and owners of record of the parents of the abnormal animal will receive the following information from the AHA: • A description of the physical abnormality in question.

• The recorded sire and dam of the abnormal animal.

• Whether as a preliminary matter the abnormality appears to be genetic in origin.

• If the abnormality appears to be genetic, what steps are planned to determine whether the parents of the abnormal animal are carriers of the physical abnormality.

D. Notification to AHA Membership Upon confirmation that an AHA-registered animal has either (i) produced a sufficient number of abnormal progeny (at least two confirmed, parent-identified cases) such that there is a high likelihood that such animal is a carrier of a genetic defect, or (ii) been the subject of positive DNA test (See Section E) that indicates that such animal is a carrier of a genetic defect, the AHA will immediately notify the owners of record of the confirmed carrier, by first-class mail, of the AHA’s intent to designate their animal as a confirmed carrier of a genetic defect. In addition, the AHA will immediately add a special code to the animal’s registration to indicate this fact. An animal that has been designated as a confirmed carrier of a genetic abnormality shall be immediately placed on a confirmed carrier list, which will be disseminated on the AHA website and which will be available upon request.

Any AHA member who may be aggrieved by the AHA’s designation of a particular animal as a confirmed carrier of a genetic defect may file a complaint with the AHA Executive Committee within thirty (30) days after the mailing of the notice. The filing of such a complaint will not stay the confirmed carrier designation.

The complaint shall be heard and disposed of by the Executive Committee in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article XI of AHA’s Bylaws. In the event that a complaint has not been filed within thirty (30) days after the mailing of the notice, the confirmed carrier designation will become final.

In the event that the complaint results in a final unappealable determination that the subject animal is not a confirmed carrier of a genetic defect, AHA will immediately remove the special code from the animal’s registration. In addition, such animal shall be

immediately removed from the confirmed carrier list.

In the event that an AHA registered animal has an unbroken pedigree link to a confirmed carrier of a genetic defect and such animal has not been the subject of a negative DNA test that is conducted pursuant to Section E below and that conclusively indicates that such animal is not a carrier of a genetic defect, AHA shall immediately add a special code to such animal’s registration to indicate this fact.

Any AHA member who may be aggrieved by AHA’s designation of a particular animal as a potential carrier of a genetic defect may file a complaint with the Executive Committee of AHA. The filing of such complaint will not stay the potential carrier designation.

The complaint shall be heard and disposed of by the Executive Committee in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article XI of AHA’s Bylaws.

In the event that the complaint results in a final unappealable determination that the subject animal is not a potential carrier of a genetic defect, AHA will immediately remove the special code from such animal’s registration. The results of a DNA test that is conducted pursuant to Section E below and that conclusively indicates that the subject animal is not a carrier of a genetic defect shall constitute conclusive evidence that the subject animal is not a potential carrier of a genetic defect.

E. DNA Genetic Abnormality Testing In the case the AHA identifies a gene marker test for a genetic abnormality, animals may be tested to determine carrier status by an AHA approved laboratory. If breeders wish to officially confirm an animal free of a genetic abnormality and designate it as such on the animal’s pedigree, then the following guidelines must be met: • The breeder must request the DNA test kit from the AHA Records Department.

• The results of the test must be returned directly to AHA from the official lab.

F. Classification of Genetic Abnormalities The AHA currently recognizes the following physical abnormalities that have been confirmed by its genetic consultant to be genetic in origin under certain circumstances: • CLASS I (LETHAL) Snorter Dwarfism Maple Syrup Urine Disease (Neuraxial Edema) Internal Hydrocephalus Idiopathic Epilepsy (IE) Mandibulofacial Dysostosis (MD) • CLASS II (NON-LETHAL) Hypotrichosis Dermoid Alopecia/Dyserythropoiesis Color Dilutor

G. Description of Defects

• CLASS I (LETHAL) Snorter Dwarfism – Symptoms: Undersized, short-legged, short-bodied animal, usually potbellied with noisy breathing. Several different types include a broad-headed, bulging forehead and a long- and mature-headed kind. X-ray of 10-day-old dwarfs may show abnormal lumbar vertebrae. Most cases are simple autosomal recessive; some forms are incomplete dominance.

– Confirmation: Pathologic exam Maple Syrup Urine Disease (Neuraxial Edema) – Symptoms: Calves will be of normal size at birth. May not be able to get up or lift head. A sudden touch or loud noise may cause a vigorous extension of the legs and neck.

Contraction (muscle spasms) may last one or two minutes and can be made to reappear. Simple autosomal recessive.

2022 Hereford Handbook | 31

AHA Rules and Regulations continued

– Confirmation: Histopath of nervous tissue or biochemical test Internal Hydrocephalus (water head) – Symptoms: Excess fluid is present in the brain which may result in a bulging forehead. Calves are usually born dead or die shortly after birth. Some cases may be environmental. Needs careful diagnosis. Simple autosomal recessive.

– Confirmation: Gross pathologic exam Idiopathic Epilepsy (IE) – Symptoms: Age of onset (occurrence of the first seizure) can be variable, ranging from birth to several months of age.

Occurrence and persistence of seizures may be influenced by environmental stressors such as temperature extremes (e.g., extreme cold during calving) or increased physical activity (e.g., processing at vaccination or weaning). Upon initial onset of seizure episodes, individuals will typically lie on their side with all limbs extended in a rigid state.

Manual flexing of the limbs is possible, but return to the extended position occurs after release. Seizure episodes may last from several minutes to more than an hour.

Autosomal recessive.

– No anatomic abnormalities or histologic lesions detected.

– Confirmation: AHA approved expert Mandibulofacial Dysostosis (MD) – Symptoms: The anatomic features overlap with a variety of other facial defects and can include cleft palate, brachygnathia (short jaw) and camplygnathia (crooked jaw or face). These are variably present in affected calves and are sometimes dramatic. The unique and consistent hallmarks of the condition include unusual bilateral skin tags just behind the corner of the mouth. These tags are attached to an unusual bone formation. There may be additional skin tags near and/or below the ears. A ridge of Meckel’s cartilage, a structure usually present only during embryonic development, is retained in these calves and attaches to the skin tag. This cartilage is encased in bone as it is followed from the skin tag toward the base of the ear.

This bone attaches specifically to the zygomatic process of the temporal bone (just above the articulation of the jaw).

The calves’ ears are sometimes slightly small and floppy.

Muscles of the jaw are underdeveloped, and calves may have an elongate oral opening appearing as an exaggerated smile. The nursing reflex is present, but nursing is not vigorous. Calves with the additional cleft palate, severely shortened or crooked jaws are debilitated in ability to nurse. Calves with the defect are live born but are not able to thrive.

• CLASS II (NON-LETHAL) Hypotrichosis (hairlessness) – Symptoms: Partial to almost complete lack of hair.

Affected calves are often born with very short, fine, kinky hair that may fall out, leaving bare spots or areas particularly susceptible to rubbing. The condition may vary in expression as the animal matures and is usually less noticeable in older animals. The haircoat color will sometimes appear “frosted” or “silverish.” Tail switch may be underdeveloped. Simple autosomal recessive.

– Confirmation: Megatrichohyaline granule skin biopsy Dermoid (feather eyes) – Symptoms: Skin-like masses of tissue occur on the eye or eyelid. Animals may become partially or completely blind.

Polygenic inheritance.

– Confirmation: Clinical diagnosis with photos or biopsy

32 | 2022 Hereford Handbook

Alopecia/Anemia, Dyserythropoiesis – Symptoms: Short, curly hair, hair loss on neck and shoulder. Progressive generalized hair loss. White areas appear dirty and calves are anemic.

– Confirmation: Blood test for anemia plus skin biopsy Color Dilutor – Symptoms: Carrier Hereford bulls or females when mated to black cattle can produce offspring with a haircoat that is gray, smokey or chocolate color.

– Confirmation: Clinical diagnosis with photos

H. Lethal vs. Non-Lethal A lethal genetic abnormality is a genetic abnormality which usually results in death of the animal or production of the animal is significantly impaired causing major economic loss.

Non-lethal abnormalities do not cause death, nor do they significantly affect production or commercial profitability. Nonlethals may, however, cause economic loss to seedstock producers.

I. Breeding to Avoid Abnormalities Breeders that may have a problem with a simple recessive abnormality can make use of available DNA-based diagnostic tests or implement mating systems designed to reduce the frequency of the abnormal gene in their herds and the breed. Where a DNA-based test is available, breeders can directly test animals for the presence of a specific mutation causing the disease. Animals confirmed to be carriers should be used cautiously, and serious consideration should be given to their removal from the seedstock breeding herd.

However, breeders should guard against carelessly throwing away good genetics because a sire or dam is a carrier unless that animal’s good characteristics remain available in the breed from another source. In the absence of a DNA-based test, mating systems should rely on the use of bulls known not to have produced affected calves.

Sons of carrier animals can be used if they have been tested free of the abnormality through a series of special test matings. Mating a bull to seven affected females, 17 carrier cows or 35 of his own daughters with no abnormal offspring provides three ways to test for the presence of a recessive gene. With specific regard to non-lethal abnormalities, each breeder must assess the potential economic impact the abnormality may have on his operation.

J. Predicted Outcome of Certain Matings Using Hypotrichosis as an Example Hypotrichosis (non-lethal) results from homozygosity of a simple autosomal recessive gene. This means that both parents must possess the hypotrichosis gene in order to produce an affected calf. Approximately 25% of the calves resulting from the mating of two carrier animals will be affected, while 50% will be normal appearing but carriers of hypotrichosis, and the remaining 25% will be normal and non-carriers. Possible matings and the predicted outcomes are shown in the table below: Matings1 hh × hh hh × Hh hh × HH Hh × Hh Hh × HH HH × HH

Affected Hypotrichosis 100% 50% 0% 25% 0% 0%

Annual Bull & Heifer Sale

Feb. 2, 2023

Reputation herd serving the cow-calf industry with multiple years of stacked DOD cows.

We breed for long, thick cattle with ease of birth, performance and great dispositions, as well as carcass and cow traits, eye appeal, and are unforgiving when culling our cow herd.

Visitors are always welcome here.

Contact us to be placed on our mailing list or with any questions.

Nothing works like a Hereford … in the pasture, at the feedlot, on the table.

MORE POUNDS. MORE CALVES. MORE PROFIT. Hereford bulls increase net profit by $51 per cow per year.

That’s $20,000 in additional revenue for a typical 400-cow outfit, thanks to increased fertility and herd size.

Herefords are also the efficiency experts, proven to add value to calves in the feedyard — $30 per head in profitability.

That’s real money and real results.

Embracing Hereford Heritage

Visiting storybook Hereford, England in August 2021 was a family dream come true.

One stop included The Haven, Dilwyn, Herefordshire, the oldest family-owned

Hereford herd in the world. The current owners, Edward Lewis and family, are the fifth generation to maintain the award-winning herd.

In the center of the town of Hereford

stood the exquisite Hereford cathedral which for centuries has housed the Chained Library reflecting the historical value of books, faith and education.

A home-raised herd sire that is as easy keeping as they come. P&R Advancer L 765E sold in our 2018 production sale and we purchased him back from Webb Farms last spring. We call him “Freckles” because of his freckled face. A deep sided, high volume, super easy fleshing bull with jaw dropping body mass but with exceptional calving ease. 765E’s first calves have been on par or even better than Sensation for calving ease, and they are rapidly growing into their sire’s phenotype, with great rib and mass. Maternally 765E stems from one of our very best cow families, a grandson of our all-time top nursing indexing cow, P&R Ms Advancer 712T. This bull is simply one of the easiest keeping bulls we have ever had on the place and he is poised to pass on his “range cattle efficiency” onto his progeny. 765E is a futuristic herd sire with balanced genomic EPDs whose fleshing ability and efficiency will help combat high feed costs.

JCS 3548 Domino 7166 {DLF,HYF,IEF,MSUDF} 43823872 • Calved: 2/16/2017

We purchased 7166 as the high-selling bull in Copeland & Son’s 2018 production sale. 7166 is an outcross sire for us that doesn’t compromise maternal value with two of Copeland’s all-time top Royalty daughters anchoring his pedigree, enabling 7166 to trace back to the legendary maternal and marbling sire, GK Genetic Explosion, 8 times. 7166 is siring great calves that carry his exceptional length along with tremendous muscle and body mass. We expect 7166’s bull calves to be in high demand in upcoming sales over the next few years. 7166 was raised in Copeland’s harsh dry short grass New Mexico rangeland, and he has just thrived on our tough rangeland as well. We will likely retain two 7166 sons from this year’s calf crop.
