Spotlighting Service One thing I love about my job is that each day is different. One day I may be editing articles for the magazine, the next out doing a story interview and taking pictures, and the next attending an industry event promoting the breed. May 22, 2013, will be one day of my career I’ll never forget. I had the honor of attending the change of command ceremony at Fort Riley. The son of former American Hereford Association (AHA) Board member Paul “Butch” Funk took command of the fort on that beautiful, yet windy, day. I hate to admit that I contemplated not going. I had a lot to get done for herd book, and I wasn’t sure attending was worth my time to travel to Fort Riley. Boy, was I wrong. It was an amazing, inspirational and patriotic ceremony. I can’t thank Butch and his family enough for inviting me to attend such a heart-touching event. As I watched the hundreds of soldiers on the field that day and as I listened to the list of accomplishments by the Big Red One division, my heart filled with pride

to be an American, and the experience made me appreciate even more all that soldiers give so I can be free and feel safe. As I reflect on that special day watching Major General Paul Funk II accept the flag as the 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley commanding general, it encompasses all that we hoped to accomplish with this year’s herd book theme — “Spotlight on Service.”

In this issue As we brainstormed themes for this year’s herd book, we wanted to continue to share stories about our breeders and, specifically, those who have given of their time to serve the Hereford and beef industries as well as our country. Here’s some statistics:

• Nearly one-half of

cattlemen and women volunteer with a youth organization, and more than one-third donate their time to other civic organizations, compared to a national average of 7%.

• Nearly one-fourth of U.S.

cattlemen and women have served in the military, more than the national average of 14%, and 94% vote in national, state and local elections; comparatively, only 64% of the general population votes. One-half of cattlemen and women have run for an elected office, and 81% have been elected to serve.

Those statistics validate the fact that those involved in agriculture have a passion

to serve and are willing to give even if it means late nights and early mornings.

Your Hereford staff I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out the commitment your AHA staff has made to serve the Hereford membership. I’m sure you’ll agree we have many who have devoted their life to serving the breed. Note the graphic “AHA employee years of service.” AHA has a current staff of 38 employees with six, or more than 15%, with more than 20 years of devotion to the breed. In this issue we feature Sarah Rodriquez (see Page 214), who has spent her entire career working for AHA. Just like our Hereford members, our staff members are involved as church and 4-H leaders and school board members and in other civic organizations. Just as the statistics indicate, those involved in the beef industry are willing to go above and beyond their daily work to serve others. I’ve always liked the quote by Damien Hess that says, “Service... Giving what you don’t have to give. Giving when you don’t need to give. Giving because you want to give.” In this issue we have featured a group of Hereford breeders who fit Hess’ definition of service. A list of the “Spotlight on Service” features is on Page 4. As a communication team we hope you enjoy reading about these breeders who are serving their communities, the Hereford and beef industries, and their country — they are giving because they want to give.

Your Commitment Has Been Remarkable It takes special people to be in the seedstock business. It’s not an easy task. The challenges are endless to engineer genetics, stay up-to-date with science, understand technical issues like beef cattle genomics, reproductive technology, herd health and management, and all of the nuances going into the American Hereford Association (AHA) Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program. The AHA asks a lot from you as a breeder. We ask you to turn in your cow inventories and amass large sums of data on every measurable trait imaginable that might affect the economics of the beef industry. We ask you to pull hair for DNA samples so that we might become more accurate at catching mating errors that inevitably pop up. Being a seedstock breeder requires discipline

and commitment. Most of us dislike balancing our checkbooks at the end of the month, but you’re asked to record countless data points and then figure out how to use online registry and performance recording systems on slow dial-up Internet. (We are working hard to make this easier in the future.) This crazy, labor-intensive passion of raising great beef cattle is a team effort. A team made up of your AHA elected leaders; the staff who answer to them and execute the overall direction of AHA leadership; and, most importantly, you, the breeders, who take advantage of the services AHA provides. This partnership is at times challenging, but it has brought about great results for the iconic Hereford breed. Fifteen years ago, a Hereford bull calf was considered a by-product

for raising breeding heifers for many Hereford breeders. Today, one in four commercial cattlemen is buying Hereford bulls, and the number is expected to grow. I want to thank you breeders for all the hard work you put into raising quality cattle. Your passion for this great business is contagious and, thankfully so, because without it there wouldn’t be nearly as many involved in raising highquality, performance-tested Hereford seedstock for the commercial beef business. I also want to congratulate you for the strides you have made in

AHA NRSP Quality Grade 1999-2011

/ July 2013

Hereford.org

genetic improvement. In the last 10 years, the Hereford breed has increased weaning weight by 10 lb. and yearling weight by 17 lb., while making the breed average expected progeny difference (EPD) for birth weight trend lighter. The Hereford breed has also made great strides in carcass quality. The National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) has been a proving ground for both young and proven sires in the area of feedlot and carcass performance. Two herds who have been test herds for NRSP for many years are Olsen Ranches Inc., Harrisburg, Neb., and Stahly Ranch, Cavour, S.D. During the past 12 years, the Olsen herd has improved the percentage of Hereford-sired calves grading Choice from approximately 55% to 90% (See “AHA NRSP Quality Grade 1999-2011” chart). Furthermore, Hereford-sired calves raised at Olsen’s have improved the percent of highly marbled upper two-thirds Choice carcasses from little more than a handful to 37.5%. No longer should the Hereford breed ever be knocked for not having the ability to produce highly marbled carcasses. The tools are readily available to engineer cattle that provide calving ease, with rapid rate of gain, and can reach the highly coveted Choice grade that is in such high demand. Aside from those invaluable contributions, the Hereford breed still remains the most docile, userfriendly breed worldwide. It’s for these reasons, spawned by your efforts, that the Hereford breed is one of the most sought-after breeds of cattle in America. HW

NRSP Continues to Add Value The National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) or the young sire test, as it is referred to around the office, has become such a cornerstone for not only evaluating bulls but also providing a resource for National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) and also for many of the genomic programs in which the American Hereford Association (AHA) is currently involved. The longest testing herds are obviously Olsen Ranch, Harrisburg, Neb., and Stahly Ranch, Cavour, S.D., but we have also collected data and tested sires at Lacey Livestock, Paso Robles, Calif.; Circle A Ranch, Iberia, Mo.; and Amana Farms, Amana, Iowa, and recently have started a

Association updates Just a reminder: The American Hereford Association (AHA) has approved two rule changes. 1) Rule 17A: new embryo transfer policy For embryo transfer (ET) calves born after Jan. 1, 2014, 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 will be charged an additional $15 per head over and above the normal registry rate. 2) Steers need registration papers Starting in 2014, steers showing in AHA-sponsored shows including the Junior National Hereford Expo and regional shows will need an official registration paper. In the past a steer had to only be sired by a registered bull, and its dam needed to be either a registered or commercial Hereford cow. Note: A dam of a steer will need to be parent verified before a steer is registered. A steer will go through the same registration process as a heifer or bull. HW

testing program at Simplot Ranch, Grand View, Idaho. In addition, we have either worked with or are setting up programs at various universities around the U.S., and we typically collect data on approximately 20-30 young sires each year that are used on more than 2,000 commercial cows. All of these ranches are profit-minded, large commercial firms, and each of them have been recognized by either the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) or other national organizations for the contribution they have made to the beef cattle industry in the U.S. These herds have approached the AHA for various reasons, and each of them has a bit of a different goal for Hereford genetics within its breeding program yet there seems to be a common theme to each of them. That theme is that they want to increase fertility and longevity in their cows, decrease feed costs, and, yet, not hurt their end product.â&#x20AC;? So, how do we approach finding the bulls they need, and what do these ranches ask for in terms of proof? 1) Expected progeny differences (EPDs) are where it starts, and the fact that our evaluation is based from Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPRâ&#x201E;˘) reporting has gotten their attention. They want performance pedigrees on all of the candidates, and they are not interested in bulls that do not have data collected, in most cases, from generations of good performance data collection.

2) The next question: tell me about the program and have they been committed to performance reporting? These ranches are not concerned about the size of the operation or where it is located. I have not been asked to provide actual or adjusted weights. It is all about the EPD, and more is not always what they are asking. There have been questions concerning hair coats for shedding. 3) Most recently, the questions have been more direct about feed intake collection and do the bulls have genomic-enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs)? There have been a lot of reference to our profit indexes and, in addition, some of the herds have really wanted to put some pressure on moderating mature cow size, so the mature cow weight (MCW) EPD has been a big topic. It is all about data for these folks, and they have asked us to provide some details on what we have seen for breed trends. So, one of the best references for newer test herds is what we have seen over time for our oldest test herds, Olsen and Stahly. We have done a lot of testing of young bulls compared to reference sires in both of these herds, and that is where I start when providing details on bulls. I would like to share a few reports with you from the Olsen Ranch, and you should understand that the biggest majority of the sires used are young, unproven sires that normally have generations of highly proven genetics behind them. Here are some graphs that show the genetic continued on page 14... Hereford.org

In addition to data collection at all stages of production, through the efforts of Olsen Ranch, AHA and the Hereford Research Foundation, a GrowSafe system

has been installed, and individual feed intake has been collected on the Olsen steers for the past three years and on the Stahly steers for two. All of the sires used get an AHA GE-EPD run, and DNA is collected on all of the steers in order to be used for the training and validation of the

genomic prediction panel that AHA has developed. These practices have also allowed the AHA to leverage this data to bigger projects including the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) weight trait project and the USDA feed efficiency project. The results we are seeing are impressive and

These ranches we work with have no breeder bias; they just want good sound data, and they want to be comfortable that breeders are using performance information along with good culling practices on traits such as disposition, udder quality and structural soundness to provide them with the best possible product.

BuyHereford.com auction to benefit HRF A variety of unique items and opportunities will be up for bid July 25 on BuyHereford.com with all proceeds benefiting the Hereford Research Foundation (HRF). For the last three years BuyHereford.com has hosted this annual auction filled with unique lots to benefit the foundation, and each has garnered more than $20,000 to help fund Hereford research. This year will be no exception, with exciting lots on which to bid. Plenty of premier Hereford genetics will be up for sale, whether it be top-quality cattle, semen or embryo packages. Also past sale highlights of hunting opportunities throughout the U.S. should draw plenty of attention. Again this year, Gallagher has donated state-ofthe-art fencing equipment and Sullivan Show Supply has donated one of its best items. Plus, this year Trans Ova Genetics and Viagen will offer reproductive service packages. For more lot information see Page 17 and for a complete list of lots and to bid visit BuyHereford.com. “Thanks to the supporters of the Hereford Research Foundation we are able to continue and invest in industry leading research,” says Jack Ward, American Hereford Association chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. The Hereford Research Foundation was established in 2009 as a division of the Hereford Youth Foundation of America, a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization to support breed improvement projects outside the scope of the AHA budget.

Price change for DNA testing The American Hereford Association has worked closely with GeneSeek Inc. and the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium (NBCEC) to adopt a new pricing structure for genomic-enhanced expected progeny difference (GE-EPD), parentage and abnormality testing. The new cost will be $85 and will be inclusive of all of testing except horned/polled (H/P); that cost will still be an additional $48. This $15 savings will allow breeders the opportunity to do more comprehensive herd testing. The basic panel for parentage and abnormality testing is still available for $30 or $20 if you do 50 animals or more. For more about Hereford DNA testing, download the “DNA Testing Procedures Fact Sheet” at Hereford.org. To request DNA kits or for more information, contact Toni Shapiro at 816-842-3757 or tshapiro@hereford.org. HW

Walking herd sire DNA testing In November 2010, the American Hereford Association (AHA) Board implemented a new policy requiring DNA on all future walking herd sires. Therefore, any sire born after Jan. 1, 2011, must have DNA on file at the official AHA lab prior to registering calves out of that bull. This policy was adopted to improve the quality control of pedigrees. Numerous times during the year, AHA staff identify pedigree mistakes, and the discovery comes at times when it is very difficult to make a determination of correct parentage of an animal. Genotyping walking herd sires will be very beneficial toward minimizing this issue in a cost-effective manner. To find out if a bull has been DNA profiled, go to Hereford.org and click on “EPD/Animal Search” in the Favorites menu. Enter your AHA Internet account details and sign on. If you don’t have an Internet account, you can log on as a guest by simply clicking the “sign on” button. In the search form, enter the bull’s registration number. Note that no prefixes such as P, X, etc. should be entered, only the number. When the search results are displayed, click on the animal’s name. If your bull has been properly tested, you will see an item just above the table where the EPDs are reported titled “DNA Parentage Profile.” If you see this and behind it says SNP Profile, Microsatellite Profile or SNP and Microsatellite Profile, then the bull has been tested as needed. Remember, this policy only applies to bulls born on or after Jan. 1, 2011. To get your bull DNA profiled, order a DNA kit from the AHA. To order the kit, you need the registration number of the sire. The kit can be mailed, e-mailed or faxed to you. You will then need to collect a DNA sample and send it with the kit to GeneSeek. The address is on the DNA kit. You can find an instructional video for proper hair collection on the Hereford YouTube Channel — youtube.com/herefordvideos. If there is no DNA on file when you start registering calves out of a sire, a DNA error will be returned. For more about Hereford DNA testing, download the “DNA Testing Procedures Fact Sheet” posted in the Hereford.org Education Center.

Best wishes Beverly Longtime American Hereford Association (AHA) employee Beverly Kincaid retired in early June after 48 years of service to the AHA. Beverly was hired by the former American Polled Hereford Association (APHA) after graduating from high school in 1964. Beverly worked as a keypunch operator from 1964 until she became a customer service representative in Beverly Kincaid the mid-1980s. Growing up on a farm in Napoleon, Mo., a small town northeast of Kansas City, Beverly got her first experience with Hereford cattle by showing a polled Hereford steer in 4-H. During retirement, Beverly is looking forward to spending more time with her husband of 45 years, Arvel, and their two children and four grandchildren, who all live nearby in Pleasant Hill, Mo. If you’d like to thank Bev for her service or congratulate her on retirement, her address is 16901 S. Graham Rd., Pleasant Hill, MO 64080. HW Hereford.org

IF our FORESIGHT were as GOOD as our HINDSIGHT, we would be a HEAP SIGHT BETTER OFF.

ost of us have heard this old saying that was one of my grandfather’s favorites. Sadly, that saying was true of a few Hereford boards and breeders in past years. Recently we sold a bull to a former president of the Ohio Hereford Association who shared some interesting knowledge with us. As president of his state association he was on the AHA’s State Presidents Council. This time period (around 1978) was when Certified Angus Beef began and when college professors were promoting exotic oxen breeds from Europe, which were too tough to eat but gained fast. An Ohio Angus breeder, Fred Johnson of Summit Crest Farms, had suggested that instead of trying to make Angus cattle like exotics (as many Hereford breeders did), that they should promote the better eating traits of Angus beef. This Ohio breeder convinced the forward-looking Angus Association to adopt Certified Angus Beef. WE ALL KNOW THE RESULTS!!! Nearly all exotic breeds crossed with Angus to become “black” in color to try to qualify as certified Angus. Even a cousin of mine who feeds only Holstein steers was thrilled when some of his solid black ones sold as Certified Angus Beef. This Ohio Hereford Association president knew about the Ohio Angus breeder’s idea and tried to convince his fellow Hereford presidents to follow the same idea at a time when Herefords could have stayed the dominate breed. To our loss, a PROMINENT breeder president from another state found the whole idea ridiculous and with too many problems. He stated he could sell more Herefords than he could produce and Herefords did not need such an idea. He then managed to convince the group to cancel the idea of Certified Hereford

For performance-tested Hazlett-Turner Ranch bloodlines Beef until HINDSIGHT convinced a later board that it was a BIG mistake. By then the Angus breed had surpassed Herefords who had been the dominate breed for years. Fifty years ago one could have driven through cattle country and have seen a sea of “whitefaces” everywhere. Today you will see mostly “blacks” or Heinz 57 varieties because of this mistake. Even many registered Hereford breeders changed breeds or at least added other breeds to their operations. Yes, HINDSIGHT can be an expensive learning process!!! Another decision that I think will produce “HINDSIGHT” regret for Herefords is the “Activation Fee.” This fee has eliminated nearly all small registered Hereford herds because such breeders find it too expensive to register only a handful of cattle and pay the fee. A few who have children have managed to hang on by having the cattle registered in a child’s name that is a junior member. DAMAGE to the breed comes from the fact that most small herd breeders bought from larger Hereford operations. Those sales are now gone and with them an interest in the Hereford breed. All breeds always have and will have problems. Yet it is obvious that the major reason for Hereford’s past decline was not starting Certified Hereford Beef soon enough. This reminds me of a deceased friend and Vo. Ag. teacher’s favorite old saying, “TOO SOON OLD, TOO LATE SMART.” Today most of the old Hereford bloodlines that produced those great eating experiences are also gone. We still have the old Hazlett-Turner Ranch bloodlines that produced some wonderful eating experiences in the past available. We invite you to come see what they STILL OFFER you today.

by Jaime Hanson and Tamar Adcock, retiring NJHA directors

A Valuable Experience As we reflect upon the past three years as members of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board of directors, it is hard to recap the value of the experience in just a few pages. The male half of “team legendary” mentioned the board’s unique taste in music; therefore, we turned to music to help us explain the experience of being a “boardie.” Jason Aldean is a popular country music singer who summed it up by leaving “Tattoos On This Town.”

“It’s where we loved, lived and learned real life stuff. It’s everything we’re made of.” We hope it has been obvious that we not only love cattle, but we hold Herefords and the people very

close to our hearts. Both of us were actively involved in 4-H, athletics and other extracurricular activities, where the true leaders in ourselves began to sprout. Taking the right steps to move up the ladder of success, we blossomed as we chased after our dreams of wearing that maroon jacket. As we were elected in 2010, an unbelievable journey began. We loved, lived and learned, sometimes the hard way, yet enjoyed the ride as it molded us into well-rounded individuals. We now have further developed our real life skills through numerous meetings, social gatherings, fundraising events, and traveling our great nation along with several other activities that we had the chance to experience while on the board. To put it simply, our time on the board has taught us to keep a positive attitude, to communicate and to cooperate.

“It sure left its mark on us, we sure left our mark on it. We let the world know we were here with everything we did.” The NJHA and the American Hereford Association have left their marks on us as we looked to the leaders who came before us to show us the way while we also continue to grow with the leaders who are beside us today. To our advisors — the Buchholzes, McMillans, McClintocks and Gobles — along with our fearless leaders Amy Cowan and Bailey Clanton and past board members, who gave us the inspiration to run, we say thank you for your support, guidance, expertise and patience.

All of you have become more than just colleagues, but are true friends and respected individuals, who day in and day out have believed in our abilities. To our fellow board members, we could not have done it without you. Through the laughs, tears and arguments, we all have grown and are leaving our marks on this association. To our families, thank you for your unconditional love, for believing in us and for all of your hard work. The experience would not have been as valuable if it was not for all of your assistance in the barns and behind the scenes preparation. Last but not least, to our Hereford family, thank you for your support and simple words of encouragement followed by a genuine smile and offerings of a snack, drink or chair whenever we seemed to need one. You are the reason we do what we do. We hope that our time and efforts as NJHA board members have made an impact on you and your families. We hope that we have set the example of what it means to embody the maroon jacket and all of its responsibilities. We hope that one day you, the junior members, will want to wear that maroon jacket and leave your own impressions on this wonderful association.

“We laid a lot of memories down, like tattoos on this town.” From day one, nearly strangers we seemed, we created an endless list of memories. We have watched the popularity of this association grow not only because we have great cattle but because we have amazing people! Hereford.org

Time and time again, we always comment on the people we meet and the relationships we build. Our Hereford family goes unmatched. We have grown to know you from the barn to the showring, from the contests to the meetings, from JNHE (Junior National Hereford Expo) to PRIDE (Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel) Convention,

and we would not trade this experience for the world. From meeting the board members for the first time to cramming as many board members as we could into a vehicle and then getting lost, to endless hours working the ring, to relaxing evening bonfires on the shores of Lake Michigan, a valuable experience it has been.

Dr. Suess said it best, “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” The past three years have been packed into that moment. It is bittersweet to think that our journey is coming to an end, but we both know that our maroon jackets will be passed on to others who will leave their own “Tattoos On This Town.” HW

NHW Plans JNHE Events Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), here we come! Everything the National Hereford Women (NHW) do each year culminates in its programming and service for Hereford youth during the JNHE. The 2013 JNHE will be no exception. Scholarship judging and awards, creative contests, a queen’s tea fit for even the smallest of royalty, must-have Hereford artwork and mementos, and the opportunity to meet and visit with other Hereford women from throughout the country fill NHW’s blessing basket to overflowing.

Scholarships and awards NHW is proud to partner with the American Hereford Association (AHA) to coordinate and offer multiple scholarships and awards for junior members. Specifically, interviews will commence and scholarships will be awarded for the Ed Bible, Future Cattleman, Golden Bull Achievement, John Wayne and National Organization of Poll-ettes Founders scholarships, with NHW’s assistance.

and senior prospect awards winners will also be presented during the banquet and awards night at 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 20.

Activities for the young Put away the electronics and encourage your up-and-coming Hereford juniors to unleash their creativity in the creative arts contest. Lots of craft and art supplies are available to make posters reflecting the 2013 JNHE theme, “Show me the Herefords.”

Fit for a crown Calling all princesses-in-waiting! The NHW and National Hereford Queen Whitney Andras are hosting a queen’s tea for all young ladies ages toddler to 21. Previous queens are also invited and encouraged to attend. On Tuesday, July 16, at 1 p.m. in the American Royal Governor’s Room, feel free to wear your best princess outfit and bring your mom or grandma. You are invited to share refreshments with Queen Whitney and the state queens, participate in craft activities, and take home goodie bags fit for royalty. “This year at the queen’s tea we will be having a random drawing for our young ladies between the ages of 4 to 8 years old,” says Denise Billman, NHW president. “The eight winners will have the opportunity to come down to the queen’s sitting area in the arena, sit with the queens, and walk with them occasionally as they lead show classes. Each JNHE junior princess will take home their tiara and sash, so these young ladies need to polish their boots and be prepared for the queen’s tea. We will also have additional ageappropriate opportunities for the rest of the girls. It’s going to be an awesome, fun time!”

NHW annual meeting Hereford women can take a break from the stalls and join the NHW board at noon on July 16 for the NHW annual meeting, also in the

Governor’s Room. The meeting will highlight the organization’s programming, goals and objectives for the next year; the introduction of Queen Whitney and the state queens; and displays of our fundraising items, including the new Hereford print “Majestic” by artist Amanda Raithel, which will be available for viewing. All fundraising items will also be available at the NHW booth in the trade show. Refreshments will be served at the meeting. Women may also pay their dues at the meeting or the booth, and they are welcome to volunteer for our various programs or express interest in serving on the board.

“It was my duty to try to serve our breed. I felt like I could help — not because I was the best cattleman — but because of my other experiences. I was committed to be a steward of the Association’s assets — finances and people. You have to do both if you are going to have a good organization.” — Butch Funk

hether leading troops in the U.S. Army, making breeding decisions or serving Hereford members as chairman of the American Hereford Association (AHA) member service committee, Paul “Butch” Funk has always made serving others a priority. “A good commander rides to the sound of guns,” Butch explains. “If someone is in trouble I will come.”

Butch has served both our country and the Hereford breed with this philosophy. After a distinguished 32-year career with the U.S. Army, Butch retired as a lieutenant general and returned to his second passion in life — being a rancher. Today Butch and his wife, Danny, own Spearhead Ranch near Copperas Cove, Texas. Butch served on the AHA Board from 2008 to 2012.

Butch says being both a soldier and a rancher are 24-hours-a-day commitments. As an officer in the Army, he was responsible for protecting his people and their families around the clock just as he is now as a rancher with his Hereford cow herd.

Early years Born and raised in Montana, Butch owned a small herd of registered Hereford cattle while

working for the ES Bar Ranch near Roundup. He went to Montana State University (MSU) and earned a degree in animal science. During this time, he had to sell his herd to pay for his college education. While at MSU, he joined the ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) and got his first taste of the Army. He says he did not set out to have a career in the Army; joining ROTC was a way to help pay for his education. “There were no career soldiers in my family until I became one,” Butch explains. After graduating from MSU, he went on active duty for two years as part of his ROTC commitment. “About six months after I got out of the Army I knew I had made a mistake,” Butch recalls. “I really liked the Army and I wished I had not left. I had not thought much about an Army career until I was on active duty — I was just doing my duty. I came back to duty about 16 months after I had gotten out. We (he and his wife) went immediately to Germany and things really went quickly after that.”

Army career “It was the people — the soldiers — and the dedicated and important missions and being part of something much bigger than oneself that made me want to come back and to stay,” Butch says. “And then, there was the leadership challenge, particularly the challenge of command, which really appealed to me. Frankly, there is nothing like being in command of U.S. soldiers in war. I was privileged to do that twice.” During his 32 years in the Army, Butch served in a variety of leadership positions from platoon leader of 20 warfighters to corps commander of 162,000. “It was a superb honor and very humbling to command in war as it was in peacetime,” Butch adds.

He served in combat in Vietnam as an air cavalry troop commander. At the young age of 30, he was responsible for 27 helicopters and 248 soldiers. His troop lost 32 soldiers and more than 100 were wounded. “Our troopers were terrific fighters and the bravest soldiers I know,” Butch says. “I still miss those we lost.” After Vietnam the Army sent Butch to graduate school, where he earned a doctorate in education. He then went to Korea, where he was stationed for a year. During Desert Storm, Butch was the 3rd Armored Division Commander. His division fought through three Iraqi divisions. “From the U.S. Army standpoint, it was a terrific victory,” Butch says. “The difference between the Iraqi Army and ours wasn’t the equipment it was the quality of the soldiers, their training and their junior leaders.” Butch and Danny’s son Paul was one of those junior leaders

Butch chose to name his ranch Spearhead Ranch based on the division he commanded during Desert Storm. He is pictured here with a replica of the Spearhead division colors.

who served in the 3rd division lead by Butch during Desert Storm. Paul was a company commander of 120 troops. When Butch’s division was getting to move, Paul’s unit had been told to stay back to provide security in Germany. Danny then told Butch, “You are going to take your son with you. You are taking everyone else’s sons and husbands, you are going to take our son.” For more on Butch’s military career, see the military biography sidebar on Page 40. During Butch’s career, the Funk family lived in 30 different homes. “It was challenging,” Butch says, “but I attribute our ability to be flexible to Danny. She has said many times, ‘I’m her ticket to heaven.’”

Spearhead Ranch

At one time Butch was in command of 162,000 soldiers when he was in charge of the corp including active military and National Guard.

When Butch decided it was time to retire from the Army, he called his friend Donlie McMullin, whom he had met in 1962 while both were stationed at Fort Hood, to help him look for property (see “Army buddies, Hereford partners,” Page 42). Butch says Danny was willing to live in the country, but cats topped her list of animals on the ranch while owning cattle was Butch’s plan. Donlie found the Funks a place not far from his, near Copperas Cove, and Butch got his opportunity to return to his childhood passions of owning a ranch and raising cattle. “My desire to care for animals and land are rooted deep,” Butch continued on page 40...

explains. “I was excited to get back to my roots and be actively involved in good husbandry and stewardship practices.” When choosing a ranch name, he decided to tie his Army career to his next adventure. “Spearhead” was the nickname given to the 3rd Armored Division during World War II. This is also the division he commanded during Desert Storm. Following Desert Storm, the division was decommissioned.

After Army retirement After retiring from the Army, Butch accepted a position as vice president of Middle Eastern Operations for General Dynamics in Saudi Arabia and later was named vice president for services for General Dynamics Land Systems in Sterling Heights, Mich. During this time, he traveled between Texas and Saudi Arabia and then Michigan. He then worked eight and a half years at the Institute for Advanced

Military biography: Paul E. (Butch) Funk, lieutenant general, U.S. Army, retired Butch Funk has a doctorate in education and a master’s in psychological counseling from Montana State University (MSU). He earned distinguished military graduate honors from MSU, where he was commissioned a second lieutenant. His basic military education includes armor officer basic and armor officer advanced courses, helicopter flight school, the Armed Forces Staff College and the Army War College. General Funk has held a variety of command positions, from platoon through division, leading to his assignment as the commanding general, III Corps and Fort Hood, Texas. He served as the commanding general of the U.S. Army Armor Center and Fort Knox, Ky., from June 1992 to Oct. 1993. He commanded the 3rd Armored Division, U.S. Army, Europe, from Dec. 1990 to April 1991, when the division distinguished itself as part of the VII Corps during Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq. He was the commanding general of the National Training Center and Fort Irwin, Calif.; assistant division commander, 9th infantry division (motorized), Fort Lewis, Wash.; Commander of the 194th Separate Armored Brigade and 5th Battalion, 33rd Armor, Fort Knox, Ky. Prior assignments at Fort Hood include deputy G3 for training; III Corps; chief of staff, 1st Cavalry Division; and several platoon leader assignments with the 2nd Battalion, 13th Armor, and 1st Armored Division. Other key assignments include vice director, J3, the joint staff, Washington, D.C., and assistant commandant, U.S. Army Armor School, Fort Knox, Ky. Funk served a combat tour in Vietnam as executive officer and then Commander of Troop A, 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division. General Funk has also served in the Republic of Korea. His awards and decorations include the following: the Distinguished Service Medal (with two Oak Leaf Clusters), Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit (with two Oak Leaf Clusters), Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star Medal (with two Oak Leaf Clusters), Meritorious Service Medal (with three Oak Leaf Clusters), Air Medal with “V” device and (twenty-five Oak Leaf Clusters), Army Commendation Medal with “V” device and (three Oak Leaf Clusters), Vietnam Service Medal (with three Oak Leaf Clusters), Kuwait Liberation Medal, Saudi Service Medal (with three bronze stars), the Army Aviator Badge, and the Joint Chief of Staff Identification Badge. He was selected as one of the top 100 graduates in the first 100 years from MSU. In 1998 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Engineering from MSU. He retired from active duty on Jan. 1, 1996. — courtesy of Mounted Warfare Foundation

Technology at University of TexasAustin, leading Army War College students and helping with the electric gun program. As he started the ranch and sought genetics to purchase, he chose to get back into the Hereford business. “While I was away from the breed a lot happened,” Butch says. “Hereford breeders made a lot of positive changes.” In 1997 he purchased his first Hereford bull from the late Frank Felton over the phone while in Saudi Arabia. He says he decided to contact Frank because of an article published in the Hereford World about Frank winning the Beef Improvement Federation’s Seedstock Producer of the Year award. “Through the years Frank and I became good friends.” Butch says. “He was always willing to share ideas. Frank was ahead of the times focusing on EPDs (expected progeny differences).” That first year Butch also purchased five registered heifers from Knoll Crest Farm and two from Wiese & Sons.

His herd With the mission to provide cattle producers with affordable, highquality Hereford genetics and to do so in a largely forage-based program under conditions similar to his commercial customers, Butch currently has a herd of 52 cows. “It is important to find programs to follow,” Butch explains. “It always comes back to fertility. That’s why I started with Felton genetics. You’ve got to have a calf every year or you won’t be in business.” He says he enjoys the challenge of finding great breeding sires. When looking for sires to use or females to retain in his program, he wants balanced EPDs and a sound phenotype. Of course

fertility comes first followed by doability or efficiency to convert grass to muscle. He artificially inseminates (AI) about 75% of his cow herd as well as utilizes embryo transfer (ET) to propagate some of his best females each year. Butch has also focused on improving carcass quality within his herd. He has collected ultrasound data for the last 10 years. Because of his efforts, marbling scores have improved and the ribeye area of his calves is increasing.

The program His primary marketing goal is to produce females that are marketed as yearling heifers and a few young pairs plus carefully selected bulls for commercial producers. Butch and Donlie have been testing bulls at PX Feeders in Evant, Texas, for five years. Because of the drought the last several years, they have also sent their replacement heifers to the lot to develop. Butch says what he likes about PX Feeders is that the bulls are fed a forage-based ration. He also appreciates Donald Parrish, the lot owner, for his assistance with marketing the bulls. “On test at PX Feeders the bulls realize growth potential but they can still be turned out and go to work,” he adds.

Serving the breed Just as a leader in the Army, Butch has sought to be a leader in the Hereford breed. He says a good leader has the ability to change and strives to learn. With this philosophy, he has worked to build his Hereford herd and to serve the industry on the state and national levels. Butch is a member of the Texas Hereford and Polled Hereford associations. In 2008 he was elected to serve on the AHA Board of

Hereford.org

Directors. “It was my duty to try to serve our breed,” he explains. “I felt like I could help — not because I was the best cattleman — but because of my other experiences. I was committed to be a steward of the Association’s assets — finances and people. You have to do both if you are going to have a good organization.” During his tenure, he served on the performance, breed improvement, financial, Hall of Fame/Merit, Certified Hereford Beef and member service committees. “It was a significant honor to serve on the AHA Board,” Butch says. “The AHA, the AHA Board and the AHA staff exists to serve our constituents. The leader is never equal to the led. A leader must serve its members.” In 2010 when AHA President Bob Harrell decided to develop a member service committee, he chose Butch to lead the group. As chairman, Butch says, he wanted the Association to become more responsive to its members. He was also challenged to assist with helping the Association implement digital technology. “You don’t incorporate new technology just because it is ‘sexy’ or the newest thing,” Butch says. “You do it because it will enhance performance. Look at your goals and apply technology to them. As

Improving sire lines is a goal for Butch. Pictured here is X16 a bull that Butch raised and is working in his program.

an Association we need to utilize technology to enhance the breed.” Today Butch says he believes the tools developed are helping members; and the Association is on the right track related to technology.

Once a soldier, always a soldier “I can’t unplug completely from the Army,” Butch says. “I get to live through (still on active duty son) Paul and serving on different boards.” Today Butch serves as president and chief operating officer of the Mounted Warfare Foundation and continued on page 42... On May 22, surrounded by Army pageantry and traditions, Major General William Mayville Jr. passed command of Fort Riley and the Army’s Oldest Division, the Big Red One, to Major General Paul Funk II. Paul is the son of Hereford breeder and retired general Butch Funk.

is also a member of the Mounted Warfare Foundation board of directors. The foundation is raising funds to build a world-class museum in the heart of Texas next to Fort Hood to honor mounted soldiers and to tell their untold story. The museum will represent the history of mounted soldiers — the ones who rode into battle horseback, as well as the tankers and infantrymen, the artillerymen and aviators, the logisticians, engineers, military policemen, signalers, and intelligence soldiers who fought alongside. “We hope to build a good museum that will honor the soldiers who have done such a great job in the mounted force,” Butch says.

His family Butch and Danny have three children and eight grandchildren.

Paul has continued to follow in his father’s footsteps and is a major general in the U.S. Army. Paul and his wife, Beth, are stationed at Fort Riley. Butch and Danny traveled to Fort Riley, Kan., in late May to watch their son take command of the historic fort and the Big Red One division. See photos on Page 41. Son Jim and his wife, Wendy, live in the D.C. area as well as Butch’s daughter, Becky, and her husband, Colonel Dave Clonts.

Looking forward Although a multi-year drought has hit much of Texas and has led to reducing herd numbers, Butch says his plan is to stay up-to-date with industry trends, to avoid fads and continue to improve his herd. “The drought has been a problem. If I had the land available I would continue to increase

Army buddies become Hereford partners In 1962 Butch Funk and Donlie McMullin met at Fort Hood in Texas. They were assigned to the same unit. Today — both retired from the Army — they are neighbors and partners who enjoy raising Hereford cattle. Donlie says he recalls when the two were on a maneuver one night while stationed at Fort Hood: “We were on Shell Point looking over the Copperas Cove region,” he says. “That night we agreed how we would like to own land some day in that region.” Today both are retired from the Army, and instead of spending time on Army maneuvers, they spend time talking

numbers, but at this time that is not an option, so I will continue to improve sire lines, continue to focus on being a performance breeder and improve the genetics of our herd,” he says. Just like a commanding officer in the Army, Butch says Hereford breeders have to be willing to change and sometimes take risks. “Whether fighting in a war, raising cattle or a family, you’ve got to be able to change to be able to grow,” he says. During the change of command ceremony, the Big Red One’s motto was repeated multiple times. “No mission too difficult, no sacrifice too great. Duty First!” It also is a perfect description of General Butch Funk and his service to this country and to the Hereford breed. HW

Herefords and attending industry events; and, yes, both purchased land in the Copperas Cove area, just like they had hoped to do in 1962. Donlie retired from the Army in 1983 after 22.5 years of service. During his tenure, he was stationed at Fort Hood seven times, and he married a Copperas Cove native in 1980, so when he retired, he chose to start a real estate business and began buying land around Copperas Cove. For more on Donlie, see “Serving With Honesty and Integrity.” Prior to retiring from the Army on Jan. 1, 1996, Butch contacted Donlie and asked for his assistance in locating a ranch in the Fort Hood area. Donlie found Butch some land not far from his, and, eventually, they both ended up in the Hereford business like their families had been at one time. Today they partner on cattle, both focused on producing performance cattle that will work for commercial producers in their area. They are also traveling buddies who regularly attend sales and industry events together. Five years ago they also started developing and testing their bulls together at PX Feeders in Evant, Texas. Thanks to the Army, a friendship between two soldiers developed into a great partnership. HW

Serving With Honesty and Integrity Hereford breeder Donlie McMullin lives by the Army’s nine core values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage. by Angie Stump Denton

erving more than 20 years in the Army and now owning a realty business and ranch, Donlie McMullin of Copperas Cove, Texas, says he’s found that the keys to success, no matter what your career, are leadership, work ethic, integrity and honesty. Donlie describes leadership as an act of influencing people. “Good leaders lead. They don’t stand behind and drive,” Donlie explains. “Every time you visit a pasture, cattle teach you about leadership. Most times cattle respond better if you honk the

horn and call the animal instead of honking the horn and trying to push them to go somewhere.” Donlie and his wife, Linda, own McMullin Ranch, which is a registered Hereford operation that has been in business since 1998.

Early years While Donlie was growing up, his father worked in oil fields, so the McMullin family moved around frequently. One year Donlie attended 14 different schools. Donlie got his first taste of ranching from his grandfather, who was in the commercial

Hereford business. When Donlie was 7, his grandfather gave him half of a calf crop. At 13, Donlie started working in the oilfields. After high school graduation, he went to Indiana Tech to college, where he played college football and graduated with a major in geology and a minor in petroleum energy. Then in August 1960 he was drafted to serve in the U.S. Army.

A leader Once enlisted, Donlie chose not to take the officer path. He says he wanted to be part of the

combat arm, and after 22.5 years, he retired as a command sergeant major, which is the highest enlisted grade. According to the U.S. Army website, the command sergeant major’s counsel is expected to be calm, settled and unequivocally accurate, but with an energy and enthusiasm that never wanes, even in the worst of times (see “Command sergeant major). During his time in the Army, Donlie was stationed at Fort Hood seven times. In 1980 he married Linda, who was a contractor in the Fort Hood area at the time.

Ranching After retiring from the Army in 1983, Donlie and Linda started acquiring land, and Donlie got his start again in the cattle business. Along with ranching, he also started Donlie McMullin Realty, which today continues to serve the Fort Hood, Copperas Cove, and Killeen areas. When Donlie first started ranching, he purchased Simbrah cattle, but disposition led him back to the breed his grandfather had raised — Hereford. “One day I was trying to load a ‘rank’ cow,” Donlie explains. “I couldn’t get her loaded by myself so I went in the house to take a break and my wife offered to help. The cow got her down and that was the last straw. I sold them and got into the Hereford business.” Donlie purchased his first Herefords at the Texas All-Star Sale.

Breeding program Today the McMullin herd numbers about 150 registered cows, 50 replacements and 100 commercial cows used to raise baldies. The herd is mostly spring calvers with only about 20 cows calving in the fall. Donlie explains his herd is predominately Remitall, Star Lake and Felton genetics and his breeding program is performance Hereford.org

Replacement heifers are developed and AI-bred.

based. He uses artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET) in order to use the best genetics possible and to continue to improve his herd. When selecting replacements or bulls, Donlie says he looks at birth, weaning and yearling weight expected progeny differences (EPDs). He also wants everything to index 20 or higher for each of the four traits.

Marketing Donlie has utilized state and regional consignment sales to market his seedstock. He typically consigns cattle to the South Texas Polled Hereford Association Sale, Northeast Texas Hereford Association Sale, Cross Timbers Classic Sale and the Texas AllStar Sale. McMullin-raised steers are sold at the local market. “Once we sell the steers we start getting calls about their heifermates,” Donlie says.

Future Donlie says his future goals are to expand his herd to calve about 200 head per year. “I hope to continue to weed out and improve my herd,” he explains. He also says he plans to continue learning from other breeders and using that knowledge to improve his herd.

“The military teaches you to juggle a lot of balls,” Donlie says. “You can’t have tunnel vision. You have to have a vision of what is coming, which is similar to the cattle business. You can’t participate in a flavor-of-themonth program and genetically meet the goals of your breeding program.” HW

Command sergeant major Enlisted soldiers who attain the distinction of being selected by the Department of the Army for participation in the command sergeant major program are the epitome of success in their chosen field. There is no higher grade of rank, except Sergeant Major of the Army, for enlisted soldiers and there is no greater honor. The command sergeant major carries out policies and standards of the performance, training, appearance, and conduct of enlisted personnel. The command sergeant major advises and initiates recommendations to the commander and staff. Perhaps slightly wiser and more experienced than the first sergeant, the command sergeant major is expected to function completely without supervision. Like the old sage of times past, the command sergeant major’s counsel is expected to be calm, settled and unequivocally accurate, but with an energy and enthusiasm that never wanes, even in the worst of times. — Courtesy of U.S. Army

Herefords in the ‘Black World’ Ken Staten brought Herefords to the top-secret world of military aircraft technology. by Sara Gugelmeyer

hese days, service is an arbitrary term, often tossed around without real meaning. But to retired Air Force Major General Ken Staten (and current Hereford breeder), service isn’t subjective at all. What he provided his country, and all of us as citizens, is truly service. Ken was born in Manhattan, Kan., and his interest in airplanes and the military lead him straight from high school graduation in Mulvane, Kan., to the Air Force Academy. But he wasn’t just joining up to get his college paid for or to fly around in cool airplanes. “Yes, my intent from starting day was to have a career in the military,” Ken says. And quite a career he did have. For 32 years Ken served in the Air Force. (Read more about each of his assignments in “Military biography” on Page 57.) He is a command pilot with more than 4,500 flying hours in more than 45 different types of aircraft. His military decorations and awards include the Distinguished Service Medal with oak leaf cluster, the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit with oak leaf cluster, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Air Medal with 14

oak leaf clusters, the Air Force Commendation Medal with oak leaf cluster, the Presidential Unit Citation, the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with 2 oak leaf clusters, the Combat Readiness Medal and the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm. But there’s much more to Ken Staten than what comes across in a military bio. His knowledge, expertise and commitment changed the course of military aviation and, consequently, affected countless lives. He sums up his decorated service humbly: “I started as a fighter pilot, got into the test pilot business then got into what, in the Air Force, we call program management, which means managing the development, test and production of airplanes. I wound up my career as commanders of various things.” That summary is the most modest way to describe Ken’s contribution to flight technology. In 1975 Ken had returned to the U.S. from his second tour in Southeast Asia, where he was an assistant operations officer and F-4 fighter pilot, when he was chosen for a much different kind of role.

The first product that the country knows about out of all this work in “the black world” was the F-117. Ken served as the first program manager. “What’s unique about it,” Ken says, “is the exterior is all flat plates. Where most planes are curved, it was flat plates. It kind of Ken, with the very first F-117, just before its first-ever test reminded you of the way flight on June 18, 1981. The flight was successful. a diamond was cut. That was my baby in terms Ken’s “baby” was first put of I proposed and got approved to work Dec. 20, 1989, during what the airplane was intended Operation Just Cause, when to do, what size it was going to two USAF F-117s bombed a be, what mission it would do, Panamanian Defense Force how far it would fly.

Stealthy developments Soon after arriving at the Pentagon, he was chosen, along with four other officers, to work on a top-secret project. Although no one knew about it but those who had to, Ken was part of the team of five who would bring stealth or “low observables” technology into the military. Ken says, “We ran the stealth program for the entire department of defense for a while then the Navy and Army did their own projects with the technology. There were five of us that got together somewhat accidentally, and all were geniuses in their own way.”

Ken was humbled by the compliment when the Air Force commander told him, “(We used the F-117s) because I thought there were American lives at stake and I couldn’t in good conscience use anything but the best thing I had.” The F-117 went on to be very useful. “It carried a huge burden in Desert Storm, the first time we fought against the Iraqis. It was very, very effective there. It took out about 90% of the most important targets with just a few airplanes. It also carried a huge burden in the second Iraqi war when America went in there full-time under George W. Bush,” Ken says. Also during this time, Ken was instrumental in the development of the B-2. “There were many technical issues in designing an operational stealth airplane, overall size was a major question. We did the preliminary design of the F-117, where the size was acceptable, and decided we were ready to go to phase two design and test. The next conclusion was we were ready to take on the issues of a much larger airplane, a bomber.” That bomber was the B-2. “We used as many ‘lessons learned’ from the F-117 as we could for the B-2,” Ken says. He was not the leader on the B-2 project. It was Ken’s good

friend and highly successful Air Force officer Joe Ralston who lead that program. General Ralston, who retired as a four-star general after serving in various roles in the upper echelon of the military including being the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, has nothing but good things to say about Ken. General Ralston describes Ken’s contribution not only to the Air Force but to his country: “This nation owes a great deal to Ken Staten for his leadership in fielding our very latest Air Force technology. He was the person most responsible for fielding the F-117 stealth fighter and his contributions lead directly to the B-2 bomber, the F-22 raptor, and the F-35 lightning II multi-role fighter.”

Finding Herefords It was while Ken was busy working on these projects with the Pentagon that he discovered his love of Hereford cattle. Ken and his wife, Carol, were raising two young daughters, Heather and Courtney, on a small farm in Virginia. “We had enough grass where we could have a few cows,” Ken says. His daughters were interested in 4-H, so the Statens purchased a couple of Hereford show heifers in 1976.

“For the next six years my girls were very involved in junior showing around Virginia, all the county shows and state fair,” Ken reminisces. “They had a great time, they loved it, they talk about it with great fondness today.” By keeping the girls’ show heifers, the Statens quickly grew a small herd of cows. “ “We had 25 cows or so and all had come from being show calves,” Ken says. He had developed a great love for the breed, and when he wasn’t focused on stealth aircraft, he spent quite a bit of time immersed in Hereford culture. He would often take his friend Joe Ralston to sales and other Hereford events. Ken explains that when working in the black world of the military, no one who isn’t immediately involved can know anything about what’s happening. The five of them went to work in civilian clothing and told no one what they were working on. “No one knew that the program even existed. The first problem is to have procedures in a way that no one even knows what you’re doing. So they don’t ask a question because they don’t know something is even there to ask about. That’s the world we were in.” But everything had to have a title to it, Ken adds. “So if you

“It was just not possible to do the right thing for the country, he says. “I examined my conscience about it. Even though my seniors wanted me to do it I decided I didn’t. I felt there was absolutely no way that whomever had this job could do the right thing for the Air Force or the right thing for the nation.” So, he says, it was time to do something else. “I was young enough that I could go do something else. I was in my early 50s. And I wanted to raise Hereford cattle. I already had in my mind what I wanted to do and I had a place to do it. It all fell in line and we decided now was time for a change.” Now, when a general retires, many private companies will often hire him as a consultant. Those offers were there, and they certainly would have been much more lucrative, but Ken had cattle on his brain. The land he had bought in Missouri was a great location for cows. And when he moved there in 1992, that point was easily proved by the fact that there were 11 Angus seedstock operations within 20 miles of

his house. He had no interest in being the No. 12 Angus breeder there, especially because of his background in Herefords from his daughters’ junior show days. For the last 20 years, Ken has made quite a reputation for his polled Hereford genetics. He maintains a herd of about 60 cows. He is the sole employee of the farm with occasional help from his youngest daughter, Courtney Bramon, who lives nearby. Being the only laborer on the place limits the number of head he can raise, as he also grows enough feed and hay for his herd. He uses artificial insemination primarily and culls his bulls heavily before offering only the best by private treaty. His cows are about two-thirds fall calvers with the remainder calving in the spring. In what little spare time he has these days, he and Carol are great supporters of the Missouri Hereford Association (MHA). In fact, the MHA honored Ken and Carol with its “Friend of the Association” honor, and in 2012 Ken was inducted into the MHA Hall of Fame. Ken and Carol reside in a historic home, built in 1835, on Lilac Hill. It was so named by the original settler, and Ken says Lilac Hill Polled Herefords is a logical continuation of that tradition. Its beautiful location has allowed them to host many memorable events at their farm, including both of their daughters’ weddings. Certified Hereford or home-raised Hereford beef is always on the menu, much to their guests’ delight. Ken says they are proud to spread the word about the unique qualities of Hereford beef.

“They just rave that they’ve never had beef like that all their life,” Ken says. Carol enjoys these opportunities to use her entertaining skills — something she perfected by being a military wife. “Spouses in the military are the most underappreciated group of women in the world,” Ken says. “Military wives are like ranch wives, they do everything, and the operation won’t work without them. They are tremendous moral support. When you are a commander in the Air Force you have to make a lot of important decisions. And I would talk about them with her and she always had an opinion and often it was different than mine. But I valued her input. “We would have visitors, like the vice president,” Ken adds, nonchalantly, “or the chief of staff to the Mexican Air Force and his entourage, or the head of Air Force came one time. And frankly we relied on our wives to handle the social end of things. And especially with international visitors, the social part is so important.” Fellow Missouri Hereford breeder and Ken and Carol’s personal friend Jim Bellis says the Hereford industry is so lucky to have such a highly regarded man in its ranks. Undoubtedly the Air Force greatly affected Ken’s ability to succeed in the civilian world. And although Ken says he thinks his most formative years in terms of his personality were while he was at the Air Force Academy and the time he spent in combat, he says the military isn’t for everyone. “I think it’s an individual decision,” Ken says. “I have had a number of young people talk to me and I refuse to give them a yes or no answer. Instead, what I talk

Hereford.org

to them about are some of the factors that should go into that decision. (I tell them) some of the behaviors that are mandatory and some of the things that will happen so they have a more clear understanding. If that fits with your personality and fits with your goals, then great.” It certainly was to this country’s advantage that Ken’s decision was

to join the Air Force, according to General Joe Ralston, Ken’s friend and former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. “This nation owes a great deal to Ken. He is a man of extraordinary technical competence but even more importantly, great common sense,” General Ralston says. Although Ken has traded in his military garb for jeans and a ball

cap, his service to his country is always in his heart. “Every day I put on that uniform it was to serve my nation,” Ken says with heartfelt emotion. “That was in my mind every day I wore it for more than 32 years. I came back to the civilian community, but I have the same allegiance to my country. You don’t just throw that allegiance away.” HW

A Man of His Word Although he’s first a cattleman, Steve Pierce has chosen to give back by serving in the Arizona State Senate. by Sara Gugelmeyer

“I don’t BS anybody, my word is my bond and whatever I say is what I’m going to do. A man’s word is important.” — Steve Pierce

/ July 2013

is story starts out like that of so many other cattlemen: a thirdgeneration rancher, went to college, returned to the family operation with his wife, raised four kids. But Steve Pierce is the exception, because when he didn’t like where his state’s government was headed, he took action and not by just going to the polls; he put his name on the ballot. And won. Steve Pierce’s family has been ranching in Arizona since 1935, but it was his father, Delbert, who started the Hereford operation on their Las Vegas Ranch near Prescott in the mid-’50s. They’ve been breeding top-quality Hereford bulls ever since and selling them mostly by private treaty. Larry Stark added his expertise to the Pierce family operation in 1975 as herdsman and partner. He’s helped manage the ranch ever since, although he’s now retired. Las Vegas Ranch began showing cattle in the ’60s and exhibited a national champion in 1981. Meanwhile, Steve graduated from Prescott High School and earned his bachelor’s degree in animal science from the University of Arizona. He also married Joan in 1973.

Returning to his roots After a short stint working for the University of Arizona

alumni association, Steve happily returned home to manage the Las Vegas Ranch, which also raises Angus cattle and American Quarter Horses. Steve and Joan raised four children a good 25 miles from the nearest grocery store, an upbringing Steve says teaches improvisation and problemsolving skills. “On the ranch when something breaks, you can’t just stop everything and run to town for a part,” Steve says. “You have to improvise and be practical.” You also have to be a steward of the land, something that is always a consideration on Las Vegas Ranch. Pierce and his family have won environmental awards including two Range Manager of the Year awards from the Society for Range Management, the Arizona Game and Fish Commission’s Wildlife Habitat Stewardship Award and the 2006 Private Lands Fish and Wildlife Stewardship Award from the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies of the United States, Canada and Mexico. Steve has always been active in community and cattlemen’s organizations including Yavapai Cattle Growers Association, Arizona Cattle Growers Association, Arizona Hereford Association, Arizona Angus Association, Arizona Beef Council, National Cattlemen’s Beef

Board, U.S. Meat Export Federation, Arizona Beef Council, County Bank Board of Directors, the Anasazi Foundation and the Central Arizona Partnership and was a 4-H leader. As if being active in these organizations wasn’t enough to keep him busy, he was also active in the Yavapai County Republican Party, serving as chairman.

say. The real challenge is there are people that don’t understand rural issues and they don’t have a clue. As long as they can get their food from Safeway that’s all they care about. So I have to educate them.

always looking out for his fellow cattlemen and landowners. “We’d like to get taxes and regulations under control so that people can work on the ranch and not have to have another source of income,” he says. “I love our life. And ranch people, cattle people, are salt of the earth people. It’s sad to see all the changes coming in agriculture. Because of taxes the big ranches are getting chopped up and sold. Farms are becoming more and more corporate entities and the lifestyle is disappearing and a lot of it is because of government. They’re telling us what we can do with our own water, land.” Steve has served the beef industry’s interests in Arizona; he was appointed by the governor to serve on the Arizona Beef Council and was also a member of the U.S. Beef Export Board. It was his committee that came up with the now famous slogan, “Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner.”

The problem though, he says, is lack of education about agriculture. “It all comes back to as long as everybody can get what they want at Safeway or wherever, they don’t care about us. We’re not doing a very good job of telling our side of the story because most ranchers are working too hard. They don’t take time to talk to people about what they’re doing. It’s a hard lifestyle.”

Don’t let somebody else do it But it’s one worth saving, Steve says. And he encourages fellow ranchers to get involved with politics. “Too many people don’t like the way the world is going but they let somebody else deal with it,” Steve says. American Hereford Association field representative Mark Holt says he’s seen Steve’s ability to look out for the beef industry firsthand. “He’s easy to talk to, very comfortable and down-to-earth,” Mark says. “I am thrilled that he’s in public service because he brings

interest and attention to land and cattle issues from the inside.” Steve encourages ranchers to consider public service because they already have the problem solving, management and business skills to help. “People need to have life experience first but they are afraid of what someone might find in their background. What I’ve learned is there are very few people in politics that have actually signed the front side of a check,” Steve quips. He admits, though, that a day at the ranch is probably more rewarding, and he often feels guilty for not tending to things at home. He says, “I think that a good hard day’s work is very satisfying. This is rewarding but this doesn’t happen that quick. It’s a slow process and it’s difficult. You have to work with people you may not even like, and it’s a lot of listening.” Steve and Joan have a house in Phoenix, where they live while the senate is in session. But they spend as much time as they can on the ranch near Prescott. Arizona law limits the time he can spend in the senate to eight years, of which he is on year five. But he hints that he’s not done yet. “I intend to stay here,” Steve says. “We’ll see in the next election. I am here to do a job, not keep it. A lot of people in politics just see which way the wind’s blowing and go with it and I am not at all that way. I intend to do what’s right for the state of Arizona and if they don’t want me, think someone else can do a better job, well that’s just fine I’ve got a ranch and another life waiting for me to go back to it. “I don’t BS anybody, my word is my bond and whatever I say is what I’m going to do. A man’s word is important.” Wouldn’t we all like to see more politicians who live that philosophy? HW

Spotlight on Service | Hereford Industry

The Art of Service John and Mona Loewen have served in virtually every facet of the Hereford industry with grace and style. by Christy Couch Lee

“We have a sense of pride in seeing the advancements we’ve made in the breed — from watching the junior nationals grow to the largest in the country, to seeing the EPDs improve.” — John Loewen

/ July 2013

hen you step into the home of John and Mona Loewen, Waukomis, Okla., you immediately sense it — they’re not your typical Hereford breeders. One-of-a-kind artwork from across the country and around the world adorns their walls. Beautiful tiling and décor have been lovingly created with Mona’s hands. And not one but two kitchens serve their needs — one for everyday and one for the cooking parties and classes John hosts in their home. Amidst it all, Hereford artwork is showcased throughout the home. And outside the living room windows Hereford cows graze in the pasture. No, they’re not your typical breeders. And they’re not your typical Hereford volunteers, either. Throughout their half-century of marriage and even beyond, serving the Hereford industry has been their passion. And they’ve done it with the grace and style that carries through every aspect of their lives.

Hereford heritage The Loewens have a strong passion for the industry. One was born with it. And one has developed it through the years. Mona’s family has a centurylong history in the Hereford breed,

Hereford.org

while John was introduced to it when they began dating. “John was a city boy, and our first date was a blind date,” Mona says. “I say it was love at first sight — when he saw the cows.” And 53 years ago, when they were 17 and 18, they were married. They received their first Hereford heifer as a wedding gift and haven’t looked back since. After John earned a bachelor’s degree in animal science from Oklahoma State University and Mona earned her degree in art history from Phillips University, they moved to Mississippi where John began fitting cattle for a Hereford operation. Less than two years later, they returned to the family farm, where John farmed with Mona’s brother, Losco Hunter, while Mona’s dad, Harold V. Hunter, worked in state politics. “I began working at the Oklahoma state capitol, which eventually led me to a position as a lender with Farmers Home Administration,” John says. In 1979 John began working as a lender with a small bank in Hennessey, Okla., and within two years was promoted to president. When he retired 12 years ago at 58, he was president of a bank holding company with nine locations. At its peak the Loewen cow herd consisted of 150 purebred cows. Today, they run about 25 purebred cows and 15-20 recipient cows for embryo calves. They live on the land that has been in Mona’s family since the early 1900s in a home just across the road from where she was raised. John and Mona’s three children took the family involvement to the next generation.

Focus on the family Their sons, Ron and Bob, showed at the first Polled Hereford Junior

Hereford.org

National in 1974 in Nashville, Tenn., and they exhibited at nearly every junior national while of junior age. Their daughter, Jennifer, was crowned the National Polled Hereford Queen in 1987. The Loewens take great pride in their children and their children-in-law, as well as their seven grandchildren. Although their children and grandchildren are not currently active in the Hereford industry, Mona says, they still gain great enjoyment from the red and white cattle. “When our children and grandchildren come home to visit, they always want us to bring up a heifer for them to work with,” Mona says with a smile. “They call it the ‘Cousin Camp.’” Service to community has always come naturally for the Loewens. Both are active within their church, Emmanuel Baptist Church of Enid, Okla., where John serves as head trustee, Mona teaches English as a second

language and both teach Sunday school. They also have served as personal financial counselors for the past 10 years. So when the opportunity arose for John and Mona to serve the Hereford industry, it only seemed natural. Service is in their blood.

Serving the Hereford industry Mona’s father served as chairman of the American Polled Hereford Association board of directors in 1973. He also served several terms as the president of the Oklahoma Polled Hereford Association. “Mona grew up in the Hereford industry, and everything their family did revolved around the cattle business,” John says. Mona says the chance to serve the Hereford industry was never a question. It’s just something her family did, she says. “I just grew up that way,” she says. “We went to every national show and sat through continued on page 78...

every banquet, listening to those speeches. It was our family vacation and my dad’s passion. And now, it’s John’s passion, even though he didn’t grow up with it.” A few decades later, it was John’s turn for service. And serve, he did. There’s virtually no Hereford board on which he hasn’t contributed his time and experience. John was elected to the American Hereford Association (AHA) board of directors in 2001. And from 2002-2003, he served on the AHA executive committee. He says his greatest contribution to the AHA Board was likely his management and financial experience. “I know a little about managing an organization, budgeting and finance through my career in the banking industry,” he says. In 2004 John served as president of the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) board of directors. Shortly afterward, John helped to develop the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA), which was established to provide scholarship and leadership benefits for National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members. “The NJHA is a slam dunk for the industry,” John says. “It teaches leadership skills and overall skill development — not to mention that Hereford cattle’s docility is great for a junior program. HYFA serves to enhance the opportunities available to NJHA members.” Today, John serves on the Hereford Research Foundation (HRF) committee, which is a division of HYFA that supports breed improvement projects outside the scope of the AHA budget. John’s service doesn’t end with time. It extends to great financial dividends, too. He and Mona donated Loewen Foundation 34X

/ July 2013

to the HRF in 2011. Leased to ABS Global, the proceeds from the sale of the bull and semen royalties are donated to the HRF. And Mona’s art background has also served the AHA in great ways, as well.

John has always been fascinated with the numerous oil-on-canvas paintings that adorn the walls of the AHA building. John and Mona both believed there should be a way to share this artwork with Hereford enthusiasts across the country, and perhaps around the world, while also benefiting the Association in some way, too. While attending an art show, Mona discovered just the ticket — a relatively new process for scanning and recreating artwork called giclee, which is a process by which high-quality artistic reproductions are placed on canvas. Several of the Hereford art pieces were scanned. And during the 2011 HYFA “The Harvest,” held at the Kunde Family Estate in Sonoma, Calif., the first two prints were auctioned for the fund. “Only 20 prints of each were created and offered in limited edition,” she says. “One was Anxiety 4, which is credited as being the father of American Herefords, imported from England in the early 1800s. And the other was Silver, the first registered Hereford cow in England from 1742. We had no idea how much they would bring, but they generated nearly $25,000 for HYFA.” Now, 11×14 prints on highquality paper are available for purchase through HYFA to further benefit the fund. Mona envisions the possibilities of cleaning and repairing many AHA paintings — many of which were created in

Jennifer was queen, she could stay at friends’ houses across the country, and I didn’t have to worry.” And, John says, seeing improvements in the industry has been a great reward, as well. “We have a sense of pride in seeing the advancements we’ve made in the breed The Loewens helped to facilitate the recreation of prints of Anxiety 4 and Silver for the HYFA “The — from watching the Harvest” auction, which generated nearly $25,000 junior nationals grow for HYFA. to the largest in the country, to seeing the EPDs (expected progeny the 1700s and 1800s — as well as differences) improve,” he says. potential additional print, notecard The Loewens’ service hasn’t and coffee table book creations. only benefited the Hereford breed.

And, the Loewens say, the benefits they’ve received from their time of service is also great.

how they would never use a Hereford bull again if we didn’t get the calving ease fixed,” he recalls. “I thought it was only perception. But with that discussion, I realized it was an issue that needed to be changed.” And during his term on the CHB board, while touring processing plants, he realized even more the importance of carcass quality. Shortly afterward, he made adjustments to the Loewen breeding program to address both calving ease and carcass merit. Throughout the years, the Loewens have served the industry well. And, no doubt, their service will continue for years to come. For this family, service is most definitely an art. And they are skilled artists, without a doubt. HW

Reaping rewards John says he has gained the greatest satisfaction from learning from and working with breeders from diverse backgrounds. “Everyone has their own backgrounds and viewpoints — from commercial bull breeders to those with registered cattle customers to those who support the youth program,” he says. “Working with these diverse groups has been challenging and interesting, and I’ve built a lot of friendships throughout the years.” Mona says these friendships with people of the Hereford industry have created a family-like bond. “All around the world, we can visit a Hereford breeder — it’s like they’re family,” she says. “When

Spotlight on Service | Hereford Industry

For the People State Hereford association secretaries share a love for the cattle — and especially for the people of the breed. by Christy Couch Lee

he Hereford breed is about more than the cattle. Without a doubt, it’s about the people from coast to coast — whether they represent herds of five or 500 — who are passionate about the industry and the promotion of the breed. It’s not all at a national level — far from it. In fact, the greatest promotion of the breed can happen on a local or state level. And leading the charge are often the state Hereford association secretaries, who devote hours upon

“The relationships you develop with the people are, by far, the most rewarding parts of the business.” — Jack Chastain

/ July 2013

hours to the advancement of the breed and its people. Three such leaders are Jack Chastain, Texas Hereford Association (THA) secretary/ treasurer, Ft. Worth, Texas; Tom Granzow, Kansas Hereford Association (KHA) secretary, Herington, Kan.; and Glenda Rickman, Tennessee Polled Hereford Association (TPHA) secretary/ treasurer, Milledgeville, Tenn. They say their service to their respective organizations has been filled with learning, enrichment

and more good than bad. And each says it’s a pleasure to give back to the industry that has given so much to him or her.

Hereford strong Chastain grew up in the Hereford breed, showing through 4-H and FFA. He and his family now raise Herefords on the land he inherited from his grandparents. “I like to say I’ve been passionate about Hereford cattle all of my life,” he says. Chastain earned a degree in animal science and meat science from Texas A&M University and worked as a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) meat grader; as a U.S. Army food inspector and as a meat grader in a variety of capacities for many years. And then, he says, he stumbled upon the service position that he would maintain for 40 years and counting — the THA secretary/ treasurer role. The people and the cattle drew Chastain to accept the position, he says. “I had been in the coolers and loved that part, but I wanted to get into the live animal and people aspects of the industry,” he says. “I love working with people — and especially with Hereford people. It’s a special breed, and there’s something special about

the people who raise and show Hereford cattle.” Chastain, along with his son, Lee, runs 75 purebred Hereford cows on the land that has been in the family for generations. And, he says, his wife of 37 years, Lyn, has been his partner and companion through it all. “She’s attended many funerals of our members’ families,” he says. “Lyn was a college professor when we married, and she quit teaching to start our family. Now that the children are grown, she travels extensively with me. She’s my chauffeur and right arm, and has been an integral part of the Texas Hereford Association.” And, he says, she has been understanding of the time commitment his position holds. “When I first started, I traveled practically seven days a week, and it involved some travel on Sundays, too,” Chastain says. “But being in the Bible belt, we try to keep that seventh day open for a day of rest and a church service. We have a strong faith. I’m proud to have served in the Army and am a red, white and blue American.” Granzow grew up on the family Hereford ranch in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Upon graduation from Kansas State University in 1976, he began a diverse career in the cattle industry. He’s ridden pens at feedyards and worked for local sale barns, and he’s managed sales and worked as a meat cutter. In 1978 he and his wife, Mary, began a registered Hereford herd. Today, they and their son, Tobyn, manage the ranch. They also have a daughter, Toniann Richard, who is the manager and part owner of First Choice Meats Inc. in Herington, Kan. The Granzows market some of their Herefords through that business. When the opportunity arose for him to serve as the KHA secretary,

“One of my sayings is, ‘I have the right to have a bad idea.’ And I really appreciate when they tell me we’re heading down the wrong path, or that an idea is a bad one.” — Tom Granzow Granzow was enticed by the chance for greater learning. “I’ve worked in about every facet of the beef industry,” he says. “I applied for the job, and it’s been a Godsend. This was one area in which I didn’t have a lot of experience, and it was a new challenge. The KHA board of directors had confidence in me. And I should get zero credit for the association being successful — it’s all about the members. From the guy with five head to the guy with 500, they want to do things right.” Rickman was born and raised in the Hereford industry, growing

up on the farm that has been in the family since the early 1800s. Married at 16, she and her thenhusband, Gene, farmed and raised cattle 12 miles from where she lived as a child. Together, they raised five children: Jane, Randy, Lisa, Steve and Bobby. Today, she and Steve — along with Steve’s son, Alan — continue to raise Herefords on the family farm. Rickman has always taken an active role in Tennessee and national Hereford service — having served as the Tennessee continued on page 90...

“You get to know so many people from across the country — many of whom become friends.” — Glenda Rickman

Poll-ette president for several years, participating in the National Organization of Poll-ettes (NOP) and being named the 1982 NOP Poll-ette of the Year, and producing the TPHA newsletter for many years since 1977. So it was no surprise that she was approached to serve as the TPHA secretary/treasurer when the position opened in the fall of 2004. Each says his or her association position didn’t come without a learning curve. But the growth has been worth it.

Chastain says he’s learned a great deal about the publication world in his four decades in the office. “We’ve gone from the old common-type, rubber cement layouts to purchasing typesetters to paste onto pasteboards, to computers,” he says. Granzow says he also has obtained knowledge about advertising and publications in his position. And he’s always open to feedback from members and the board of directors.

One of Chastain’s duties is to help manage the Cowtown Select sale during the Fort Worth Stock Show each year.

/ July 2013

“I don’t want to act like I run the show,” he says. “One of my sayings is, ‘I have the right to have a bad idea.’ And I really appreciate when they tell me we’re heading down the wrong path, or that an idea is a bad one.” And feedback and input help each to offer tremendous services for his or her memberships.

All in a day’s work Chastain says the responsibilities of his position are many. He often provides consultation on marketing, merchandising, breeding decisions, advertising and even nutrition of members’ herds. And he has been able to use his lifelong love of photography in a variety of ways for the association throughout his tenure. “I used to take everyone’s herd bull photos,” he says. During the Fort Worth Stock Show, THA conducts its annual membership meeting and two sales; each spring they facilitate a dinner and dance fundraising event; and each fall an annual commercial heifer and bull sale are held. In addition, the association has sponsored bus tours to purebred and commercial operations, in the past. “We attend the livestock shows, conventions and trade shows as a voice for our members,” he says.

Hereford.org

The member directory and publication, along with business card, sale catalog and brochure creation, are also great services the association provides, he says. And Chastain’s son, Lee, designed the association website, on which the sale listings are greatly popular, he says. Chastain believes the main job of the THA is to promote the breed whenever possible. “At the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers Association and the annual beef short course events, we feel like we carry the banner for the Hereford breed in Texas,” he says. Granzow says the KHA strives to represent the breed as economically and as widespread as possible across the state of Kansas. “We try to make it feasible and economically smart as possible,” he says. “Together with the Kansas Hereford Women, we collected money from breeders specifically for radio advertising. And breeders donated whatever they were comfortable with. Together, we raised $7,000 for that purpose this year.” Rather than focusing on one large event, Granzow says, their approach is to spread the effort across many mediums — from feedlot research to radio and publication ads to the breeder directory and association publication. “We can do a lot of little things to accomplish big things,” he says. “I am not going to discount any idea that a breeder gives me. KHA is to be at all levels, promoting the Hereford breed, and getting the Hereford breed in the forefront at all times.” Rickman handles a variety of responsibilities throughout the year, including managing the finances of the association, preparing minutes and financial

Hereford.org

reports for four yearly meetings, preparing an association directory every other year and handling many responsibilities of the association’s annual sale. She also collects entries, coordinates the program printing and manages finances for the yearly TPHA open and junior shows, as well as two southeast regionals held in Tennessee since she began in this position. Association e-mails and mailings also fall into the realm of Rickman’s duties. The responsibilities are many. And the rewards are even greater, all three say.

Joy in the job Chastain says the relationships he’s developed throughout the years have been the greatest benefit of his service. “The opportunity to go onto the ranches and into their homes and visit — they become practically part of the family,” he says. “The relationships you develop with the people are, by far, the most rewarding parts of the business.”

Granzow agrees. The people make the position great. “Easily, the people are the greatest aspect of serving as the KHA secretary,” he says. “I do enjoy seeing a lot of cattle and the management situations of the diverse breeding programs. But mostly, it’s the people.” He says he has a great amount of respect for the people he serves — especially the ones who don’t necessarily see the spotlight. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for many breeders who have never gotten to the level of, say, a show champion,” he says. “There are so many ways to be great in this business — by raising a great cow herd or managing a great feedlot. They have reached their goals, even though they may not be recognized for it or get the public accolades they deserve. Everyone in this association is important to the success of the KHA.” Rickman says the friendships developed have only enhanced her time of service. “You get to know so many people from across the country continued on page 92...

Granzow (center) says the relationships developed with breeders from across the state of Kansas — and from across the country — are the greatest rewards of his service.

— many of whom become friends,” she says. “I have friends with whom I have served on the NOP board that I would have never gotten to know, had it not been for the association.” Their service hasn’t been without a few moments of challenge, though.

Facing the challenges The greatest challenge he’s faced with the organization, Chastain says, is the move of the cattle industry as a whole to black-hided cattle. “We feel like we’ve had a good product, but the industry for a time went to the black-hided cattle and looked past our genetics that they’re now rediscovering,” he says. “When bull customers were abandoning us, it presented us with challenges to keeping our membership and breed alive. But we’ve definitely seen a resurgence in the past three to five years.” The management of consignment sales is the greatest challenge for Granzow, he says.

“I don’t have it right yet,” he says. “I would like to have a really strong sale for the smaller breeder who doesn’t have a production sale. I haven’t quite been able to turn the key and make that work, yet. But I’m not going to quit.” Rickman says every experience in her life has brought life lessons. And it’s no different with her service to the Hereford breed. “I dropped out of high school and earned my GED in 1982, when my fourth child graduated from high school,” she says. “I went on to get an associates degree in agricultural technology and a second degree in business communications. Through the years, I’ve worked with a group of conservation engineers and with a federal program dealing with human services. You learn from all different types of people — from those on welfare to those with master’s and doctorate degrees. And when you learn from them, it makes you want to better yourself.” These Hereford enthusiasts say the best way to ensure the continued success of your organization is to get involved. And it may be easier than you think.

Do your part

Rickman has been involved in the Hereford breed for a lifetime, serving in a variety of roles before settling into the TPHA secretary/treasurer position.

/ July 2013

Getting involved in your state organization, as a breeder, helps to ensure the success of the breed, Chastain says. “There’s the old saying that there’s strength in numbers,” he says. “United, you can get more done than on an individual basis.” Getting involved is simple, Chastain says. “Just show up,” he says. “Attend functions. Don’t sit back and wait to be asked. Everyone has something to offer. Unified, we can utilize each others’ strengths and help overcome our weaknesses, too.”

“Just show up. Attend functions. Don’t sit back and wait to be asked. Everyone has something to offer.” — Jack Chastain Granzow says every breeder can and should have input in his or her state association. “Every breeder is special,” he says. “And the best way to get involved is to do just that — get involved. Give things a try.” And, he says, integrity is critical, regardless of how a member serves. “It’s important for any association or any breeder involved,” Granzow says. “Integrity is grassroots. If you’re going to do something — whether it be representing the cattle or breed or yourself — keep striving to make the breed better, and do it with integrity.” Rickman says getting involved in your Hereford association is important not only for the association but also for yourself. “You get to know so many people who are willing to share their experiences with you,” she says. “Experience is valuable. We don’t have to do things the way we did 40 years ago, but we can learn from it.” Across the nation, Hereford enthusiasts are devoting their time in service to their state associations. Yes, the Hereford breed is fortunate to be about the people. HW

Spotlight on Service | Beef Industry

Leading On Hereford producers serve in beef industry roles to give back to the industry that has been so good to them. by Katrina Huffstutler

n a shrinking industry facing growing challenges, strong and willing leaders have never been more important. Important are people who will give up time from their families and operations for the greater good. Important are people who work tirelessly to protect the business and lifestyle they love so that future generations will have the same opportunities. In the Hereford family, these leaders are everywhere — serving in local, state and national cattle organizations representing the breed and the industry as a whole. Here are the stories of three Hereford breeders currently serving the beef industry and the reasons why they serve.

Richard Gebhart “It has always been important to serve the industry that serves me,” says Richard Gebhart, chairman of the Federation of State Beef Councils, matter-of-factly. Gebhart and his family manage Beacon Hill Ranch near Claremore, Okla. With a military career that took him around the world for a large part of his life, it wasn’t until he and his wife, Susan, settled back on the ranch in

“As we all contemplate where to invest our limited spare time — and there are plenty of requests for that time — I’m more than happy to donate my time to those organizations that improve my bottom line.” — Richard Gebhart

Oklahoma that he was able to give back to the beef industry. He started out serving in a local capacity and then expanded into roles with the Oklahoma Hereford Association and the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association. When their girls became active in junior Hereford activities, the couple naturally also began committing their time and energy to those events, something he wouldn’t trade for anything. “We value the hours spent together in the truck traveling to junior nationals and the friends we have made raising funds to support junior programs,” Gebhart says. “We couldn’t ask for a more rewarding family pastime.” As for his current role, it’s something he’s proud to be a part of. “When I got involved with the Oklahoma Beef Council, my eyes were really opened to the value of our Beef Checkoff Program,” he says. “I’m most pleased with how the dollar is managed by the producers serving on our state boards. There are over 700 producers and industry stakeholders serving on the boards of the 45 state beef councils. This grassroots structure of individual beef councils is much like our Hereford structure with producers serving at all levels and making decisions that impact our future.” Fifty years ago, in 1963, state beef councils organized nationally to create the Federation of State Beef Councils so they could lead a coordinated consumer outreach effort. Gebhart’s services at the Oklahoma Beef Council lead to him serving as chair of the Federation. “Through this leadership role I continue to learn more

and be more impressed with how our beef checkoff program is leading the industry in addressing issues important to consumers,” he says.

“That’s what boards are for — working together to achieve things. One thing I like about policy organizations like Nebraska Cattlemen and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association is your membership determines what your policy is.” — Dale Spencer

For example, Gebhart explains, as a result of sensitivity from consumers about the affect beef production has on the environment, the checkoff launched a first-of-its-kind beef sustainability research project. This research project will provide insight to the value beef production brings to society, the economy and the environment. “As we all contemplate where to invest our limited spare time — and there are plenty of requests for that time — I’m more than happy to donate my time to those organizations that improve my bottom line,” Gebhart says. “For me that is the Oklahoma and American Hereford Associations and the beef checkoff program through the Federation of State Beef Councils. It’s all about what delivers value.”

Dale Spencer When Dale Spencer of Spencer Herefords, Brewster, Neb., returned to his hometown after college, he had plenty of people ask him just why he was back and what he expected to do. His answer was always the same. “I’d say, ‘Well I hope to be a successful rancher and one day be the president of the Nebraska Cattlemen,’” Spencer says. Today, he’s both. Though the fourth-generation Hereford breeder always aspired to lead the state organization, it wasn’t something he pursued. “I guess I’ve always been a kind of person who, if something starts to come to me, then I’m going to say, ‘OK. If you guys want me to do it I’ll do it.’ I let them come to me.” continued on page 102...

His laid-back style has also always been agenda-free. Spencer is proud to say he has never run for anything, saying, “This is what we’re going to do,” or “I’m going to get in and get this done.” “That’s what boards are for — working together to achieve things. One thing I like about policy organizations like Nebraska Cattlemen and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) is your membership determines what your policy is,” he says. “And then those of us who are leadership or on staff take that policy seriously. When we visit with our senators and state legislators and things like that, we carry that membership’s policy. We don’t step out on a limb with our own opinions.” Leading up to his current role, Spencer served in many other positions as a volunteer leader — starting on the board and then serving as chair of the Nebraska Beef Council, positions that lead

to roles on NCBA’s executive and advertising committees. And, as if these weren’t enough, during his time with the beef council, he also joined the American Hereford Association board of directors. Though he admits doing so much at once was at times “brutal,” he says it was a very fulfilling time, too. It also helped prepare him for his most challenging role yet, leading the Nebraska Cattlemen. Luckily, he says, he also got a bit of a warm-up from them. “They bring you in as vice president, and then you’re presidentelect and then you’re president. And it just seems like every year they keep involving you in more things along the way,” he says. He says the job as president can vary quite a bit depending on the issues facing the state and industry at the time, but it always means “a lot of interviews, a lot of phone calls and a lot of time.” At the time of this interview, Spencer had recently been

busy dealing with the sequester and its possible effect on meat inspection. It consumed a big part of his weekly and even daily thoughts and conversations. “With these kinds of issues, when you’re in a leadership position, you have to be informed,” he says. “You have to be educated and when you’ve got an interview request, you’ve got to know what you’re talking about and you’ve got to make a lot of sense.” He said the most surprising aspect of serving the industry is how things can change from one week to the next. “You think you’ve one hot button issue this week and then the next issue. The next week something else turns up and the last week is in the rearview mirror,” Spencer says. But despite all of the time and stress, he wouldn’t have it any other way. After all, nothing can beat the reward. “I can’t think of anything else more positive than the great friendships, the great network and the great relationships that are developed,” Spencer says. “And those things will last until the end.”

Barb Wilkinson, Centennial, Colo., has her dad to thank for her lifetime of leadership in the cattle business. When she was just a high school freshman, her dad said, “I think we need to attend these Colorado Junior Hereford Field Days.” Admittedly, she had no idea what that was. She’d shown in 4-H since reaching eligibility age but had never been active in the breed despite growing up on a Hereford operation.

Hereford.org

It didn’t take long for her to become involved in the Colorado Junior Hereford Association and eventually to serve on the American Junior Hereford Association board from 198285. She says she made lifelong friendships, had great experiences and even came in second in the national speech contest. Twenty years later, she was serving on the American Hereford Women board with one of those lifelong friends — the same one who beat her in the speech contest, in fact, Bonnie Coley-Malir. She still keeps in touch with Coley-Malir, as well as fellow former Kansas Hereford Queen Diane Johnson among many others. The executive director of leadership development for NCBA says starting out young in an organization as she did is “so valuable.” It’s undoubtedly lead to her continuing work both as a volunteer leader and a staff member in the industry she grew up in. From 1989 to 1996, Wilkinson worked for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, heading up a program originally called Myth Busters. Later renamed Myth Stoppers to avoid legal action from another organization using the name, this group ended up being the precursor to today’s Masters of Beef Advocacy, “long before we had online availability,” she adds. During that time, she trained about 2,000 producers to tell their stories, whether that meant writing or talking about them. Next, she served as director of communications for the Colorado Cattle Feeders (which later became the Colorado Livestock Association). While there, she got the opportunity to work with the

Hereford.org

association’s volunteer leaders on a daily basis and quickly realized just how valuable they are to any organization. In 2007 Wilkinson returned to NCBA, originally heading up

“One of the most valuable lessons that I’ve learned over the years is that not all leaders are at the podium. There are an awful lot of leaders that are around the room asking the right

state services, the group that oversees the Federation of State Beef Councils. But a restructuring in 2009 meant another change for her, this time getting her back to her leadership development roots. Her job today? She likes to think of it as empowering people to live their legacies. And “‘What is the legacy you want to leave?’ is a question we do ask the officers from time to time,” she says. She credits her own leadership experience within the Hereford industry for preparing her for her career. “It was just a great opportunity at both levels to work with passionate people,” she says. “Of course, obviously, our focus with both of those groups is the Hereford breed, but both of them were more about doing things so that somebody else could have that same chance we had — or even for more.”

Just do it Think you might have what it takes to give back to the industry in a leadership role? Think you can’t? Wilkinson has some advice. “Just don’t be afraid to try,” she says. “Don’t be afraid to run for an office, or to serve on a committee. I think sometimes we feel like, ‘I can’t do that, I’m not good enough,’ or ‘I’m not quite at that level.’ But, no. One of the most valuable lessons that I’ve learned over the years is that not all leaders are at the podium. There are an awful lot of leaders that are around the room asking the right questions.” And in an industry like this, there’s room for everyone. HW

questions.” — Barb Wilkinson

Representative Mary Ann Berg has served the Hereford breed through leadership and service. by Robin K. Kleine

alton, Ohio, resident Mary Ann Berg is no stranger to hard work. The mother of four and grandmother of 11 is part of an eighth-generation farm, where she and her husband, Jerry, raise Hereford cattle. Besides calving approximately 40 cows each year and raising row crops, the couple runs a farm tax accounting service out of their home. Through the years, both Mary Ann and Jerry have taken on roles in their local community and at their church and 4-H club as well as within the Buckeye Hereford Association. Both Jerry and Mary Ann grew up in neighboring towns in Wayne County, Ohio, where their families raised dairy cattle. When they first married, they both worked off the farm as teachers, she in home economics and he in ag education. “Once we purchased some land, we knew that when our daughter was 4-H age, she would need a project. Our operation, Berg Polled Herefords, started from that single 4-H beef project,” Mary Ann says.

Serving the Hereford breed The Bergs have been members of the Buckeye Hereford Association for nearly 35 years. Additionally, Mary Ann first took an active role in the Buckeye Poll-ettes, helping with the queen program and other youth programs.

“We, who are service-oriented, figure out how to arrange our time. We need to set an example for younger generations.” — Mary Ann Berg

Later Mary Ann was asked to sit on a committee to meld the National Organization of Pollettes and the American Hereford Women. This newly united group — National Hereford Women (NHW) — was founded in 2009. Mary Ann says she is proud to be a founding member, has also served the group as president and now sits on the board as the ex-officio. After reading an article asking for a Hereford enthusiast to promote Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) as a CHB Ambassador around the country, Mary Ann rose to the occasion. She said she thought both of the roles would blend well, as NHW sponsored the CHB Ambassador program. After an interview in Kansas City, Mary Ann and Anna Rhodus from Missouri were selected as the first CHB Ambassadors. Kim Coley from Tennessee and Nicole Morrison from Ohio joined them as CHB Ambassadors in 2012. “I felt that it fit into my niche in life right then — I’d be able to travel easily,” Mary Ann says. “They were looking for somebody wanting this adventure, and I wanted to prove to myself I could do it.” The ambassadors each travel to different events across the country each year. They conduct various beef promotions and demonstrations, often at food shows, grocery stores or

Hereford.org

supermarket grand openings. While there, they grill the beef and hand out samples, visiting with shoppers and educating them about beef and the CHB products. With her background teaching about nutrition in the classroom, plus her time on the farm, it was not a stretch for Mary Ann to be an advocate for CHB. “I said to Jerry, ‘This is something I can do and feel at home. I know that I’m promoting a worthwhile product,” Mary Ann adds. She has traveled to the East Coast, Florida, Oklahoma, Washington State and many states in between. She also tries to help with promotions in her home state of Ohio. During her travels, she started a collection of state magnets for her refrigerator at home. The grandkids love looking at them and rearranging them, she says.

Spreading the word Berg says that she has many talking points for her interactions with consumers. She talks about her farm and agricultural background, as well as the history of the Hereford breed. Consistency of CHB products and the promise of a delicious, nutritious product are also part of her demonstration. “I tell them the great taste comes from the breed itself, and that we don’t rely on marinades or a lot of fat to keep it flavorful,” Mary Ann says. After the grand opening of Miller’s Markets in Lodi and New London, Ohio, in November 2012, Mary Ann shared her experience in a press release from CHB. “The staff and shoppers were impressed that Nikki and I were producers who were willing to give of our time to promote a product we believed in. We accomplished our goal: good

will, good presentation and good promotion of a great product,” Mary Ann explains. Often Mary Ann and the other CHB Ambassadors are asked some tough questions including: Is it grassfed? Are the animals given antibiotics? How is your product different? “We explain that a grain fed product gives a better taste and a higher quality product and that no animal in the CHB program can be on antibiotics at the time of slaughter,” Mary Ann says. “We try to clarify that we treat our sick animals similarly to how anyone would treat a sick child.” Mary Ann’s dedication to the Hereford breed hasn’t gone unnoticed. Brad Ellefson, CHB LLC vice president of retail, complimented her as a CHB Ambassador and for her enthusiasm for the product. “As part of the beef industry, I don’t think people always realize that that retail and consumer side is part of it. But Mary Ann is

always willing to ask questions and learn more about this side of the business,” Ellefson says.

Ann’s favorite part of her responsibilities. This was evident when she judged the Great American CHB Grill-Off at the Junior National Hereford Expo

(JNHE) as part of her CHB Ambassador duties. “I really enjoyed judging the grill-off and skit, especially seeing the juniors standing up there, being cute and sharing good points about CHB and its quality,” Mary Ann adds. Her grandkids show and help on the family farm. Berg Polled Herefords has also benefited from Mary Ann’s positions, because she says they can promote their cattle from the road. Both Mary Ann and Jerry often travel to sales and shows, where it’s easy to rekindle friendships with other producers from across the country. “Our cow-calf operation is ongoing, and our friends and family want to help us so that we can travel Jerry and Mary Ann Berg were inducted into the together. They know Buckeye Hereford Association Hall of Merit in 2010 that these shows are our after serving the organization for nearly 40 years. vacations,” Mary Ann says.

She was quick to say that especially in today’s busy society with more people employed off the farm, there is limited time to give to organizations like the American Hereford Association. “We, who are service-oriented, figure out how to arrange our time. We need to set an example for younger generations,” she says. Ellefson explains that Mary Ann is always happy to jump in and help where she is needed. “Mary Ann has done a great job, kind of always being the leader. She has always been my go-to person,” Ellefson says. “She’s very knowledgeable and happy to grill steaks.” This can-do attitude has not been overlooked by her peers. In 2010 Jerry and Mary Ann attended the Buckeye Hereford Association annual banquet held in January, a routine event for the couple. When it was announced that they were to be inducted into the Buckeye Hereford Association’s Hall of Merit, Mary Ann says they were “humbled and honored” by the award. The real surprise came when their entire family was at the restaurant to surprise them after it was announced. “That made it all the more special,” Mary Ann says. Today, Berg continues to serve as a CHB Ambassador, fitting as many beef promotions as possible into her schedule. She also remains active in the NHW.

Generation…

s you may have heard, there are significant changes occurring here at Split Butte. Our family is committed to staying in the Hereford business and continuing the legacy that was started here in the high desert of Idaho, however, we will be restructuring our seedstock and commercial herds to better fit our business plan. We are very excited about this year’s calf crop and look forward to offering select individuals at upcoming regional and national shows. There are many ET and natural calves that will be deserving of your attention. Lastly, we would like to take a moment to thank Ron Shurtz for his tremendous effort and dedication to the Split Butte program. He is the engineer of this fabulous set of calves that will shape our future. Best of luck to you in your new position.

Farming Faith Raising cattle and sharing God’s word seem to go hand in hand.

PHOTO BY JAIME HANSON

by Sara Gugelmeyer

“I think most farmers and ranchers tend to have a more spiritually based life because of their direct contact with God’s creation.” — Gordon Jamison

aybe it’s the close proximity to God’s work. Maybe it’s the close proximity to nature’s devastating power. Maybe it’s just that we tend to be more traditional in all our behaviors. No matter the reason, generally speaking, those involved in agriculture are often strong in faith. We didn’t have to look hard to find three men who are doing just that — balancing raising Hereford cattle and raising church-goers’

122

spirits with messages of inspiration and education. They, too, have noticed how God influences those in agriculture. “You can’t help but see God’s hand when working with soil or when a cow gives birth,” Lutheran pastor and Wisconsin Hereford breeder Mark Schoen says. Similarly, part-time pastor Gordon Jamison, Quinter, Kan., says, “I think every time you witness a new birth it’s a miracle. How do you deny the existence

of God when you see that miracle taking place? We see it so often it does strengthen our faith. It also tries it pretty severely.” Methodist pastor and Tennessee Hereford breeder Roy Hopkins says he uses many farming analogies in his sermons, in part because farmers and ranchers rely so much on variables outside their control. “The trust you must have adds to your faith,” Roy says. “Faith that it’s going to rain, faith that the weather is going to be right for harvest.” Gordon adds, “I think most farmers and ranchers tend to have a more spiritually based life because of their direct contact with God’s creation. It’s no secret, if you’re going to be involved in the purebred part of agriculture, treating the public with integrity and being completely honest helps you gain a reputation that is often going to be critical to your business. That’s based on principles handed down for generations. Sometimes we don’t always acknowledge that, but that’s what our country was founded on, those principles.” Mark, Gordon and Roy are just a few of many Hereford breeders who are strong in faith. Farmers and ranchers across the country support local and, often, rural churches helping to keep important values alive. In the following pages we share these three men’s stories but also honor all who serve the Lord. HW

The Pastor in the Pasture Reverend Mark and Deb Schoen combine ministry and Herefords. by Sara Gugelmeyer

utside of his family, Reverend Mark Schoen has two passions in life — pastoring and raising Hereford cattle. And he takes both very seriously. Raised on a farm in Minnesota, Mark comes from a family that had Jersey dairy cows, but he showed Herefords in 4-H. Mark went to college and studied animal science for two years, planning to become a veterinarian. But he always remembered something a pastor had told him at his high school graduation. “A pastor from a neighboring town, who heard me speak at my high school graduation, told me, ‘With a voice like yours you should be a pastor,’” Mark says. He didn’t really consider the ministry at the time because he wanted to be involved in agriculture, but his strong Christian faith grew during his college years. “It was 1979, I was only married for about one month but one night I felt convicted that maybe I should go on and be a pastor. I gave up the farming and the cattle to go to seminary,” Mark explains. To be ordained in the Lutheran faith, one has to attend eight years of school, so Mark traded his animal science textbooks to learn more about religion, including Greek and Hebrew. He and his

“Our motto is promoting Christ the Rock and rock-solid seedstock. We are trying to witness through Jesus Christ and the Bible as God’s Word.” — Mark Schoen new wife, Deb, moved to Ft. Wayne, Ind., where he attended Concordia Theological Seminary. In 1985 Mark was ordained, and he started as a parish pastor in Michigan. Then the couple moved to a church in Minnesota before settling in St. Croix Falls, Wis., in 1991. After 10 years of living in town, Mark says, “I couldn’t take it anymore, I wanted to get out to the country and have a farm again.”

With their two daughters, Rachel and Emily, already off at college and son, Nate, finishing up high school, Mark and Deb were nearly empty nesters. “I wish I would have done it earlier but we have to wait until God provides,” Mark explains. They purchased land along Big Creek and wasted no time setting up Christ the Rock Herefords. “We built this thing from the ground up,” Mark says. “We built all new

buildings and facilities and we’re still building on it.” Mark and Deb purchased their first Herefords from Fred Larson, Spring Valley, Wis., and their herd now consists of 21 cows. They focus on producing top-quality seedstock, using the latest in artificial insemination and embryo transfer technology. Mark says they regularly purchase embryos from the top names in the Hereford seedstock business to keep their genetics on the cutting edge. Their calves are marketed through private treaty and the local Indianhead and Wisconsin Hereford Association consignment sales. “We really pride ourselves on quality,” Deb says. “We want to be the best.” Their goals, though, are not all about cattle. “Our motto is promoting Christ the Rock and rock-solid seedstock,” Mark says. “We are trying to witness through Jesus Christ and the Bible as God’s Word.” “Cattle on a thousand hills are mine,” Psalms 50:10 is a Bible verse that can be found on their website and is always on their minds. Mark says, “All the cattle come from God anyway, he just lets us use them and breed them and, of course, Herefords are his favorite. Mark uses the Hereford business to reach out to people spiritually. His business card has this on the back: “‘For God so loved , that He gave His only-begotten Son to suffer and die on the that if cross for believes in Jesus as His Savior from sin, shall not perish shall have but everlasting life.’ John 3:16 (paraphrased).” Every time Mark gives a business card to a potential

customer, he fills in that customer’s name in the blanks. “I try not to be too pushy,” Mark says. “I just tell people that the good news, gospel means good news, is that Jesus Christ has come to be our savior. We don’t have to fear death because He is the rock of our salvation.” Mark says their Hereford business provides him and Deb, who is also a part-time dental

hygienist, with a type of therapy. “For me, as a pastor I have to deal with marriage problems, family problems, people that are struggling. Cattle are a way for me and my wife to get away from it all, because cattle don’t have those problems. They don’t have to deal with sin and failures like we do.” He is also an ambassador for the breed and the entire cattle industry. His church, with about 200 members, is familiar with his second job, and he’s even sold some Hereford beef to friends. He’s also helped a young parishioner get into the Hereford business. “I am very busy with the church, but this is my way of getting out and promoting Herefords, but the same time, Christianity,” Mark says. He stresses that he’s not trying to make people Lutheran; he’s just spreading God’s word. In fact, he says he’s met many good Christian people through the American Hereford Association. Now at 55 years young, Mark is thankful to God for all that He has provided. “I get the best of both worlds,” he says. I’ve come full circle. Now I get to do the cattle and preaching and teaching.” HW

Mark says he enjoys the cattle because it’s a way to get away from the stress involved with being a pastor.

Man of Many Names Roy Hopkins doesn’t shy from responsibility, be it to his Lord, family or Hereford community. by Sara Gugelmeyer

oy Hopkins is not afraid to be busy. In addition to being a committed husband to his wife and a father to four sons, he is the pastor at two middle Tennessee churches, oversees his family’s purebred Hereford operation and works a full-time job as business manager for Jacobs Technology Inc. As if he wasn’t busy enough, he and his wife volunteer as advisors for the Tennessee Junior Polled Hereford Association. His Hereford habit started first. “I grew up on a farm and that was the first thing I’ve done,” Roy says. “I’ve been doing that all my life.” He explains that his grandfather always had Herefords, but it was he who turned the operation registered. “When I was about 16, we got some registered Hereford heifers and a bull,” Roy says. He adds, “My love of Herefords came from spending time with my dad and grandpa. We worked together on the farm and now I want to share that with my family.” That’s why, when the eldest of Roy’s boys, Zachary, started fourth grade and was old enough to show, he and Kim were very supportive. Now, Zachary, 21, is still involved in the business, even though he is away at college during the week. Jordan, 18,

“It’s one of those things when the Lord calls you, you go.” — Roy Hopkins

Nathan, 16, and Ethan, 13, are all active in showing Herefords. “We really like the Herefords,” Roy says. “We’ve worked to improve our herd over the years. We bring in different genetics to improve it.” In fact, with all of Roy’s commitments, his sons handle much of the work on the farm. Currently there are about 50 cows and 15 replacement heifers on the Hopkins Ranch of Herefords, Winchester, Tenn. Bulls and heifers are sold private treaty. Zachary has learned to artificially inseminate, so the ranch utilizes that method of improving genetics as well as a small amount of embryo transfer (ET). While raising cattle and kids is certainly fulfilling, Roy says he has always been strong in his Christian faith and grew up in the Methodist Church. In fact, for more than 15

years, Roy has been sharing God’s word, first as a lay speaker. Roy started as a certified lay speaker. In the United Methodist Church, one can become a certified lay speaker by attending lay-speaking school. He or she is then able to lead the Sunday service at churches throughout the area whenever a minister is away. Roy served various United Methodist Churches as a lay speaker for nearly six years. “It was enjoyable; I got to meet a lot of different people,” he says. “Most of the places I went were smaller churches, and I was traveling all over the country, but basically in middle Tennessee. Everybody was always friendly.” All that changed when he filled in at the Friendship United Methodist Church in Moore County, Tenn. He filled in for

just four weeks, but Roy felt God calling him for more. “It’s one of those things when the Lord calls you, you go,” he says. “I kind of resisted a little; I was just going to fill in. I thought that was enough. I didn’t want to pastor full time, instead wanting to continue working and farming. But He just kept calling me to do more for Him so I relented.” Only six months after becoming the full-time pastor at Friendship United Methodist Church, Roy took on another challenge. He was asked to also become the full-time pastor at Marble Hill Methodist Church, which is also in Moore County. The services are staggered so Roy can give the sermon at both. Friendship meets at 9 a.m. with Sunday school after, and Marble Hill meets at 11 a.m. with Sunday school before. Although Roy was apprehensive about being a full-time pastor at just one church, now he serves two and still manages to do everything else as well. “As it turns out I am still doing my job and still farming after 10 years, and it’s definitely fulfilling and rewarding,” he says. “I know it’s what I am supposed to be doing.” It’s only possible thanks to help from his family, Roy says. All sons attend services at both churches, with Kim and Zachary leading a Sunday school for the little kids at Marble Hill. “We always go everywhere together,” Roy explains. “Zachary is 21 but still comes home from college every weekend and goes to church with us.” Roy admits, though, his busy schedule can be a struggle at times. “The boys do most of the farming,” he says. “They are making hay, building fence and other jobs. My wife does a lot of the support work at church,

Despite his busy schedule, Roy says he could never give up his Hereford-raising lifestyle.

checking in on people, plus running errands for the churches and farm. She is such a blessing to me. Kim keeps us all straight and takes such wonderful care of us all. I couldn’t do all three jobs without the strong family that I have.” That is similar to the members of Roy’s congregations. “The churches I am involved in are smaller, rural churches. They are a super supportive and loving group of people. They make my responsibilities as pastor easy with all of the support and encouragement they show me and my family,” he says.

When asked if he would cut back on his demanding lifestyle, Roy says he doesn’t see that happening anytime soon. “I’ve got to do what God calls me to do, and that’s pastor. I can’t give that up, I know that’s what He wants. The farm and raising Herefords, that’s my lifestyle. That’s what I know and I just can’t see myself not doing those two things. In addition, the Lord has blessed me with a great job, and with four boys that all have college aspirations, I need to keep my job. Right now, I know this is where I need to be.” HW

Roy says he couldn’t do what he does without tremendous support and help from his family. Pictured (l to r) are: Zachary, Jordan, Ethan, Nathan, Kim and Roy.

Part-time Pastor, Full-time Rancher Hereford cattleman Gordon Jamison answered a “calling” from his church to be a minister. by Sara Gugelmeyer

“We feel like God gave us this ranch and gave us the things we do for a purpose and we need to share it. There’s still a deep desire across all America to see the cowboy life. — Gordon Jamison

nlike a typical pastor, Gordon Jamison didn’t necessarily aspire to be a minister. In his religion, the Dunkard Brethren, it works a little differently. But, both his employment as a rancher and his calling as a pastor are roles he comes by naturally. In his hometown of Quinter, Kan., he is the third generation in his family to do both. In 1890 Owen Thomas Jamison stepped off the train in Quinter after a long ride from Virginia. The land he claimed as a homestead is

128

/ July 2013

still the headquarters of the Jamison Ranch. He farmed, raised horses and served the church as minister. Owen’s son Dale bought the family’s first Hereford in about 1940. He, too, served as a minister of the church. By 1970 Gordon had joined the family operation. The next year the Jamisons purchased a group of half-blood Line 1 Hereford cows, and by 1975 the entire Jamison herd was of L1 genetics. Together, Gordon and Dale grew the Jamison herd’s reputation. Although Dale passed away in 2007, the Jamison Ranch

has continued the tradition of raising and selling top-quality Hereford bulls and females. And, Gordon has continued the tradition of being a pastor at the Dunkard Brethren Church in Quinter. Now, the Dunkard Brethren denomination may not be as well-known as say the Baptist denomination, but Gordon says its theology is similar. The Dunkard Brethren is an Anabaptist religion, which includes Amish, Hutterites and Mennonites. The “dunkard” term comes from the way that believers are baptized, which is by immersion. Pastors in Gordon’s faith are not full-time employees. Rather, the congregation chooses a member or members of the church whenever there’s a need to take on the duties of minister, Gordon explains. In his church there are three “lay pastors,” as they’re called. “In our church, it’s not something that you volunteer to, it’s an appointed position and something like an election is held and the church elects individuals whenever they feel there is a need,” Gordon says. “It’s by popular vote, so to speak. After a great deal of prayer and soul searching

Hereford.org

on the financial side, according to Gordon. Wade, who also lives in Hays, helps out when he can, and Cody lives on the ranch and works there full-time. Also, one way Gordon and his wife, Marsha, help out the church is by providing opportunities for young people from the congregation to come work on the ranch. “We feel like God gave us this ranch and gave us the things we do for a purpose and we need to share it,” he says. “There’s still a deep desire across all America to see the cowboy life. Sometimes we are probably a bit overstaffed, but we’re creating more of a job opportunity for young men, usually, to get away and come interact, and have some new experiences. Some do it for a few weeks, others a year or more.” Most of the congregation is not directly involved in agriculture, and Gordon also sees hiring outside help as an opportunity to educate the public about what happens on a farm or ranch. “Probably the majority will not spend their lifetime in agriculture, but there are so many lessons to be learned that you just can’t learn in other jobs,” he says.

And the extra help can’t hurt as Gordon works double-duty. It is considered a special honor to be a lay pastor in the church, but it’s not without its challenges. “I would be completely dishonest if I said it was never a burden,” Gordon admits. “But I don’t view it that way. It’s something that I can do to justify my existence. I know that at one time or another every rancher thinks to himself, ‘What in the world do I accomplish?’ Because all it is sometimes is just trying to meet the next bill, make the next payment and In addition to raising cattle, the ranch keep our banker out of our markets Quarter Horses as well. hair.

in the advantages of Hereford cattle,” says Gene Wiese, the current senior-generation member of the Wiese team. “Our priority is to produce bulls that go to the commercial industry and produce the best beef-improving and problem-free cattle possible.” Through the years the Wiese family has been recognized for its commitment to the Hereford and beef industries. Wiese & Sons was selected by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association to receive the Region III Environmental

Stewardship Award and the cherished Cattle Business of the Century Award. Wiese & Sons was recognized at the 2012 American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting with the Century Hereford Breeder Award. At that same meeting, Gene was inducted into the Hereford Hall of Fame, an honor his father, Lester, also received in 1980.

ith the goal of developing productive cattle that will grow well on forage and in the feedlot, with a nominal amount of maintenance and input, Wiese & Sons, Manning, Iowa, has enjoyed more than 100 years in the Hereford business producing “Good Doin’ Cattle.” Four generations of Wieses, with the fifth generation in training, have worked together to produce solid, dependable Hereford cattle. “We are dedicated to the Hereford breed, and truly believe

Their program “Bulls are our business,” Gene says with conviction. The Wieses market more than 100 Hereford bulls annually and offer both polled and horned bulls. For the last 10 years, they have dehorned their bulls. Gene says this practice was implemented to make the bulls easier to handle and to decrease time and resources related to horn management. Bulls are developed on a high roughage ration in large lots. They are appraised for structure, condition, efficiency, fertility and disposition. At weaning time, weights are collected as well as disposition scores. If at that time Gene or Dave doesn’t think a bull will make the grade, that bull is sent to the feedlot. After weaning, bulls are put on a feed trial until they become yearlings. When yearling weights

Hereford bull. Then in 1904 Ed Wiese settled east of Manning. The Wiese brothers started producing registered Hereford cattle in 1912, and in 1918, operating under the name of Ed Wiese & Son, the ranch management changed to Ed Wiese (father) and Lester Wiese (son). Lester and his two sons, Sam and Gene, continued this Hereford tradition, and in 1949 began the firm of Wiese & Sons. Expansion of the firm began to take place in the 1960s. The partnership currently includes Gene Wiese and and his wife, Jean; daughter Helen Wiese; and son Dave Wiese and Dave’s wife, Diana, and their boys, Chance, Shayne and Trey. Another daughter, Kathryn, and her son, Kieran, live in Hawaii but enjoy time on the farm and help when they can. When asked why his family has continued in the Hereford business for more than 100 years, Gene explains, “Herefords were a clear choice because of the value of total lifetime efficiency from the factory (the cow) to the feedlot, the processor and the consumer.”

Gene Wiese says a great trait of the Hereford breed is its efficiency. Hereford cows are the best at surviving drought, and they breed back under difficult conditions.

Management plan Wiese & Sons is a progressive herd that extensively utilizes artificial insemination (AI), embryo transfer (ET) and ultrasound. In-depth records are kept on all cattle. Through the years, the Wiese family has made changes in management practices to fit the needs of both its customers and the Wiese family. Data collection has been a priority at Wiese & Sons for more than 50 years. “Data collection is so vital to us and when we are selling,” Gene says. “The more data we have the better we are at marketing.”

At calving, Wieses collect more than birth weights to help them evaluate a female. Along with birth weights, they record an udder score, a calving ease score and a calf vigor score; and they’ve also developed mothering ability and pigmentation scoring systems. Production records combined with current technologies such as ultrasound and carcass evaluation help the Wieses work toward a goal of producing an animal that will predictably benefit the industry. The Wieses started gathering carcass data 20 years ago. “Our production volumes and efficiencies have increased,” Dave says. “Because of these extra efforts, our carrying capacity has increased 25% in the last decade and our yearling weight EPDs (expected progeny differences) have doubled.”

Herefords in demand Gene says they are currently experiencing an increased demand for Hereford bulls. He attributes this demand to the nation’s black cow herd. He says that through the years, the beef industry has seen a lot of change — from short coupled, compact cattle to introduction of European breeds — which lead to a mongrelized cow herd. Then the industry turned to the Angus bull to improve uniformity and carcass quality. Now, with a majority of the

are collected, weight per day of age (WDA) is determined, and each bull is also evaluated for disposition, soundness and structure. Gene says structure, as well as condition, is important because good structure allows a bull a long career in the pasture. They do not feed the bulls to be overly fat so that the bulls won’t go out and melt during their first breeding season. Although bulls are Wieses’ focus, the female is not forgotten. Gene says he can remember his grandfather telling him, “I’ve never known a good man who didn’t have a good mother.” Currently the Wiese herd numbers 400 registered females. They keep about 80 heifers each year. A majority of the Wiese females calve in March with a 90-day calving period. They also have a small group

of January calvers and another group that calves in September. Their breeding program is based on propagating specific family lines. The families their cow herd is based on are Beau Blanchard 29th; Rex Mischief; Anxiety Domino 1928; Battle Spartan 1940, used on an Intense Domino-based cow herd to develop the Battle Intense line; and Big Northern, a 1970s sire of Grand Slam and King Ten. Each year a group of replacement heifers is bred to an Angus bull to produce baldies. “We can’t produce enough of the baldies,” Gene says. “We have implemented this process to be able to show our customers the baldie calves so they then will want to produce them as well.”

All bulls are sold private treaty so the Wieses have the opportunity to get to know their customers and their needs. When buyers visit Wiese & Sons, they are given a clipboard with pedigree and performance data (as is pictured here) and are encouraged to walk through the bulls.

national cow herd being black or Angus-based, the Hereford bull is the logical choice to add heterosis, according to Gene. “The Hereford bull is the answer from a conversion and consumption standpoint,” he says. “The combination of Hereford and Angus produces the most efficient and productive commercial female today — the black baldie — what we call ‘America’s Cow.’” The Wieses generally offer 175 yearling and 2-year-old Hereford and Angus bulls each year. Cooperator herds provide additional sale bulls.

Adding options Wieses added Angus to their bull offering more than 25 years ago at a time when the demand for Hereford bulls began to decrease. Gene says this decrease started when the Hereford industry had some issues. Hereford breeders have

Most bulls are sold as yearlings but some are sold as coming 2-year-olds. Before Wiese bulls qualify for the “sale pen,” they are evaluated for disposition, soundness, fertility, conformation and muscle. They must also have the genetic ability to produce females with mothering ability, milking ability, reproductive efficiency and calving ease.

overcome those issues and current demand is on the increase. Wieses sell approximately 50 Angus bulls each year. The Angus bulls are produced mostly by cooperator herds in Pennsylvania, New York and Maryland, which expand the marketing opportunities for these Eastern producers. “Offering Angus gives our customers more choices when making their seedstock decisions,” Gene says. “We understand that one of the most popular and profitable crosses is the black baldie thus offering both Hereford and Angus bulls allows our customers to have the opportunity to visit one location and get both breeds.”

Customer service Developing relationships with their customers is a top priority for the Wiese family. “An advantage of selling private treaty

since 1923 is that we learn a lot from our buyers,” Helen says. “We really try to determine what we have to offer that will suit their needs.” Gene says the reasons they have chosen to sell private treaty instead of hosting a production sale are: 1) They are located in the Corn Belt, where a majority of their neighbors are farmers, not cattle producers. 2) They want to attract customers who want a number of bulls and 3) Selling private treaty allows them to get to know their customers better, which they believe leads to more repeat customers. Export business has also been a market for the Wiese family. They have marketed live animals, semen and embryos to producers in foreign countries. Through the years, according to Helen, the Wiese family continued on page 144...

has sold genetics to most U.S. states and more than 15 foreign countries. “Satisfied customers are always a major priority,” Gene adds.

The showring Exhibiting at major shows was an important part of the Wiese’s marketing program in the 1960s through 2000. Gene says the family exhibited at shows throughout the country including the National Western Stock Show, where they had much success through the years. Dave explains that although his family members loved the showring, they made a decision to focus their efforts on family activities and other projects around the farm.

Stewards of the land Making an effort to improve the land for the next generation is an important challenge for the Wiese family. Because of their commitment to caring for the land, the Wieses were recognized by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) as the 1996 NCBA Region III Environmental Stewardship Award winner. Gene says winning the stewardship award was a huge honor for his family. Soil conservation and land fertility has been a priority and has been achieved through the use of good soil and pasture management practices. Their conservation program started with early involvement in contour farming. Extensive terraces (32,000 feet) have been built on acres that were considered highly erodible.

The Wiese family continues to expand its operation as it prepares for the fifth generation to join the business. In 2002, 1,000 acres was purchased near Guthrie Center. The family has worked together to clean up the pastures and facilities.

Forage is the Wieses’ principal crop, and the quality and care of this crop is directly related to cattle productivity and efficiency. Several of their pastures have been in continual grass since 1904. Plant diversity has been achieved by interseeding a variety of legumes and grasses. Rotational grazing has been practiced since 1982. Weed management is an important part of pasture care and has been achieved by clipping and the interseeding of legumes and grasses to offer active competition to weeds. Limited spraying is practiced. The evaluation of their pastures regarding plant population, diversity, vigor, number of legumes and usage helps them make decisions regarding fertilization, interseeding, weed management and herd rotation. Water management practices have been accomplished through the use of water collection systems — four pond systems have been built. Streambank protection has been achieved by the

use of riprap, grasses and limited cattle access to natural water areas. Establishing wetland areas has improved water quality in the ponds, protected wells, and significantly retarded soil erosion and flood damage. Their tree planting program began with the development of their first pond in 1964. More than 300 trees have been planted annually for more than 15 years in an area of Iowa that was virtually treeless.

Looking forward Since 1912 the Wiese family has been building and sustaining a reputation for top-quality, efficient and profitable beef cattle. Dave says his hope and plan is to continue to grow and expand Wiese & Sons so they can continue to partner with the next generation to keep Wiese & Sons in the Hereford business for another century or two.

Spotlight on Service | Youth

The Young and the Dedicated Three young Hereford enthusiasts give back. by Katrina Huffstutler

hese days, students are being pulled many different directions — sports, academic clubs, college prep courses, stock shows — the list goes on. But amongst all the busyness and chaos, many choose to give back, serving in leadership roles and volunteering in their communities and beyond. As they serve, these exceptional young people are not only helping others but learning to better help themselves. These are the stories of three such individuals who all have roots in the Hereford breed.

Rossie Blinson North Carolina Third-generation Hereford breeder Rossie Blinson knew she wanted to wear the maroon jacket since she attended her first junior national in Tunica, Miss. And just a few short years later, that dream came true. She even worked her way up

to chairman of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board, a job that might be called a family tradition, considering her dad served in the same role on the National Junior Polled Hereford Council, back when the horned and polled associations were split. But that was just the beginning for Rossie, now a senior agriculture business major at North Carolina State University, who firmly believes she was “put here to promote beef.” Once her time on the NJHA board was up, she went on to serve as a North Carolina Beef Ambassador and eventually was selected as a 2012 National Beef Ambassador. She says, though very different, both experiences were great opportunities for her. “With the junior board, I was able to experience leadership and teamwork within a breed association. I was working with a lot of people I already knew

who shared my interests and background,” she says. “But as a beef ambassador, I was working with people with lots of different backgrounds and our program was geared toward consumers. Instead of shows, we were going to places like the Boston Marathon and the New York State Fair.” She says her time as a beef ambassador really broadened her perspective and gave her a taste for what consumers wanted — and wanted to know. “By being [in that position] able to listen to the consumers’

concerns I could actually see firsthand what they were thinking about, what they like about beef, what they don’t like about beef and some misconceptions that were out there,” Rossie says. The various lessons learned and connections made in both leadership roles helped prepare the passionate beef advocate for her most recent role, one she was sad to see ending at the time of our interview. From January through May, Rossie worked as a National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) public policy intern in Washington, D.C. While there, she got the chance to help with the Cattle Industry Convention and the legislative conference where cattlemen represented their states on the Hill, as well as day-to-day meetings with members of Congress and their staffers. She also completed a lot of research for NCBA and earned valuable life experience. “Just being from the country and living in the city is a big change,” she says. “And good, I think, for everybody to experience at least once.” She says all of her experiences, though different and beneficial in their own ways, have all had one thing in common — they’ve

afforded her the opportunity to meet a lot of people she would have never met otherwise. “Through the junior board, I got to meet producers from all over the nation,” she says. “And then through my last two roles I’ve been able to meet all different kinds of people who work in the industry. Maybe not Hereford people and maybe not even cattle producers, but people who are involved in the greater beef industry. I’m making tons of connections all across the U.S. which is great as I prepare to go into the working world.”

Tyler Schultz Kansas The showring is fun and all, but that’s not where Tyler Schultz’s passion lies. The sixth-generation Hereford breeder says he’d choose a day at the farm over a day at the show anytime. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t get a

whole lot out of being an NJHA member participating in the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) and the Kansas Junior Hereford Show — while giving a lot back. Tyler and his family own and manage Sandhill Farms near Haviland, Kan. “We are more performance-based,” Tyler says. “Our cattle are more broody type cattle. Really I’m not involved in the showing world to win; I’m just there to meet people and to learn.” While there, he’s also lent a hand to help, assisting with quiz bowls and other events. He knows he’s been helped in the process, too. “I guess I always tried to take advice from other people,” Tyler explains, “and whenever I hear them saying, ‘Make connections, make connections,’ even if I don’t understand why, I’ve tried to do that. I’ve taken that to heart and I’m starting to learn now how it’s important to be connected with people.” He credits his dad for opening that door by “always being near a whole bunch of people.” Tyler says the connections he’s made have taught him a lot — especially in regard to learning what’s important to them in their cattle versus knowing what’s worked for him — and he knows that knowledge will help him when he returns to the operation after college. But serving isn’t all about learning and experience and connections, and no one knows that better than Tyler. At just 15, continued on page 156...

In 2007 when the powerful EF-5 tornado hit Greensburg, Kan., it hit Tyler’s community, too — in fact — just about 1.5 miles from his home. The teen wasted no time in pitching in to help those who’d lost everything. “I drove around the next day with a man that I’d never met before and we helped people clean up,” Tyler says. “I’m happy to give up my time and help somebody out if they need it more than I do.” But that wasn’t the end of it, unfortunately. The next day, similar tornadoes hit the same area about half a mile closer to the Schultz’s place. This time, it was really personal as one of those storms took the family’s church. Tyler, who says he’s always enjoyed “tinkering with technology” also created a video

to document the tornado’s damage. He screened it at church, gave copies to those affected and posted it to YouTube for a permanent record of what the community survived. He says the strong Christian values he was raised with, along with being a part of such a tight-knit community, inspire him to help. And when those who need it are local, it’s even more of a no-brainer. “In high school, I had to write an essay for a scholarship on what person has influenced you most in your life,” Tyler says. “I wrote it about my community as a unit. It’s a really great community. Some people decide they don’t want to raise their kids where they grew up, but it’s exactly what I want to do.”

Alabama For 2013 National Beef Ambassador Chandler Mulvaney, there’s no doubt where his inspiration to lead came from — his older sister, Katlin. “[Until I was old enough,] I just tagged along and got to watch her compete in junior Hereford and 4-H events,” he says. “She really paved the path for me. That was really an

encouragement and helped me to focus on what I wanted to do. It allowed me to set goals and ask myself ‘Where do I see myself in 10 or 15 years?’” Once he was old enough to join in, he followed in her footsteps. And once she was elected to the NJHA board, it really sank in. “I was like, ‘Wow! I could be doing things like this.’” And, in time, he was. “I now can pay it forward or — pay it back — where kids can view me as someone who’s inspiring. I think it’s definitely a cyclical process,” he says. Last summer, Chandler was approached by his state’s cattle women group, encouraging him to consider applying to be a beef ambassador. He said “yes,” and took the process very seriously. “I told them, ‘I really want to make sure that I’m preparing not only for the National Beef Ambassador Program but making sure that I have the knowledge and the experience necessary to eventually lead in the future,’” he says. “Just last year realized that I needed to be more knowledgeable about the beef community outside of the showring. I started looking around and I said, ‘What do I know about traceability or the Beef Checkoff or different cattlemen’s organizations and their role within the beef community?” He started to realize there’s a much bigger picture to consider — a world that’s about a lot more than showing cattle. He wanted to be educated and prepared when possibilities present themselves to share with others. So, he studied. And studied. And studied some more. “I studied every day over the summer,” he says. “It was a big challenge on my part, but I knew

“I now can pay it forward or — pay it back — where kids can view me as someone who’s inspiring. I think it’s definitely a cyclical process.” — Chandler Mulvaney

Though he tagged along, too young to participate, for years, Chandler Mulvaney eventually got the chance to follow in big sister Katlin’s footsteps in the Hereford ring.

consumer. That’s what makes a difference in the long run. Just equipping yourself and getting to know the producers around you is what I would have to say.”

‘Don’t be afraid’ All of these junior members agree — their experiences have been invaluable. They also are the first to encourage the next group of kids to step up to do the same, even if the idea scares them. “I have to say the one thing that I’ve learned through this experience is don’t be afraid,” Chandler says. “Our advisor always tells us, ‘Don’t be afraid to change the world, no matter what it is.’ Whether you’re 10 years old, you’re 15; you’re in college like me. You’re always bombarded with all these negative messages, ‘You can’t do this, and you can’t do that.’ I’d really like to contradict that and say, ‘Don’t be afraid to change the world. Getting yourself out there and making sure you’re continually improving yourself is what makes a difference.” HW

Ambassador contest, vying for five Those are the kind of personal prestigious spots.” examples we need to be sharing So he prepared every single every day when we talk to an day. He even went through media activist group or just an everyday training and visited with beef industry leaders to make sure he had a firm grasp on the issues and how to best communicate about them. By the time he arrived in Sacramento, he was ready to go in all four categories of the contest: issues response, consumer demonstration, media interview and classroom presentation. He says that through all of his experiences, his main takeaway is this: we are all one big beef family.

Commercial cattlemen have many choices of breeds and breeders to compete in the commercial cow-calf world. Our bulls are genetically designed using proven genetics, environmentally pressured and finally, individually selected to be profit leaders.

the gospel with the families, they always left bags of rice and beans. These small gifts were enough to feed each family for a few days. “I always thought, ‘The food is going to feed their stomachs, but what we were telling them was going to feed their souls,’” Sadie says. Cody Crum, 24, of Rushville, Ill., graduated in May 2011 from Northwestern College, a Christian school in St. Paul, Minn. Cody always knew he wanted to go on a mission trip, but as a student athlete playing football and running track and still actively showing in NJHA events during the summer, it was not possible. After graduation, he knew it was time to go. In July 2012 Cody traveled to San Ramón, Costa Rica, with e3 Partners Ministry. His group used sports ministry and materials from “I am Second,” a movement that inspires people to live for God and other people. After lunch each day on his weeklong trip, he spent about two hours doing door-to-door evangelism, giving personal testimonials of his belief in Christ. Cody even used the public speaking skills he learned in NJHA contests. “Looking back, it was one of the most rewarding parts of the trip because it got me out of my comfort zone,” Cody says. In addition to teaching evangelism, these junior members learned the value of teamwork on their mission trips.

Teamwork While participating in NJHA activities, juniors are taught to work together in order to achieve a common goal, whether it be in competition, fundraising or philanthropic endeavors.

Sadie (left) and Sinclair Conley spend time on their family’s operation, Conley Farms, in Surgoinsville, Tenn. The girls have shown Herefords for three years, using their show winnings to fund a mission trip to Belize.

Teamwork was a huge part of Kristin’s trip to the Dominican Republic. Her group was tasked with removing rocks, leveling floors and pouring concrete in a six-room schoolhouse. But the local children made the backbreaking work more enjoyable.

“The food is going to feed their stomachs, but what we were telling them was going to feed their souls.” — Sadie Conley

“At about 11:30 a.m. each day, the village kids would trickle into the buildings. We would hang out and play games. They were always smiling, because they knew what we were doing was really going to make a difference in their lives,” Kristin says. Sinclair and Sadie use teamwork every day at home as well. Their parents, Richard and Monica Conley, have opened their home to foster children. The girls gladly share a room to create extra space and enjoy showing their younger foster siblings the way around the cattle barn. “We teach them not to be afraid and to get their hands dirty,” Sinclair explains. “We’re taking them to Cow Buddies, a group that helps younger kids. We help them in the ring, on the halter and with the show stick. They help us with feeding and cleaning the stalls too.” continued on page 198...

“Growing up on a farm, we learn to serve through agriculture and the food we grow. As Christians, we are also service-oriented. They are definitely correlated for me.” — Cody Crum

Both girls are thankful for the responsibility they have learned through their Hereford projects. Their mother, Monica, says that they do their own work in the barn. We always feel like when we win, it’s a win for the family, she explains. Sinclair and Sadie are becoming leaders in their small Tennessee community and abroad.

True leaders With more than 20 years of NJHA experience between them, Kristin and Cody are veteran members, both well decorated and respected by their peers. Kristin credits her role on the NJHA board of directors for helping her grow as a person and as a leader. “Serving on the board has made me more responsible and just a better person in general.

Plus the Christian church teaches us to be stewards,” she says. “Going to the Dominican Republic taught me that I’m blessed. I can give my time and effort to help others, and others can learn by watching.” Cody won numerous awards through the NJHA, including the prestigious Golden Bull Achievement Award in 2010. He is accustomed to being a leader in the showring and on the football field. After his mission trip, Cody wanted to give back to his local church, Rushville Free Methodist Church. There he started an “I am Second” small group, serving as the group’s leader. The group of 10 young adults meets every Wednesday night, using some of the same materials he used in Costa Rica. “It’s nice to know that the lessons are the same all over the world,” Cody adds. Additionally, Cody’s “I am Second” group is talking about doing mission work in Costa Rica or somewhere similar. He thinks that a trip is a real possibility for his small group within the next few years.

A call to serve Cody easily summed up his desire to serve others. “Growing up on a farm, we learn to serve through agriculture and the food we grow. As Christians, we are also serviceoriented.” He adds, “They are definitely correlated for me.” HW

Cody Crum (holding ball), Rushville, Ill., spent 10 days in Costa Rica in July 2012 with e3 Partners Ministry. He and others in the group used sports to reach out to local children.

We not only have it, we use it… …Over 25 years of CARCASS data We have been committed to testing our cattle in every way possible since we started our registered herd in the mid-1970s. We have tested them in the pasture and in bull test stations. Plus, we feed our steers by our bulls in feedlots every year and collect all the carcass and profitability data. These lessons have been profitable and rewarding at times and an education in the college of hard knocks at other times. However, we have not buried our heads in the sand. We continue to use what we have learned to make a more predictable and profitable product for our customers. Our cattle represent up to six generations of selection for carcass quality and yield as well as performance, soundness, disposition and fertility.

Texas Juniors Lend a Helping Hand by Keely Hamman

he Texas Junior Hereford Association and the Texas Junior Polled Hereford Association join together every year for the Texas state preview show. Each year, the associations collect necessary items for in-need organizations and families, not only to help out, but to connect with other ways of life as well. The community service projects began in the early 1990s through the Chastain family. Originally Lee Chastain, just a young grade school student at the time, was looking for a statewide project to add to his 4-H record book. After doing

“The community service projects not only help the ones in need, but also help the ones that are giving. It is always such a blessed experience.” — Bethany Nolan much thinking, Lee and his family decided what better way was there to do a community service project than with the help of the fellow Texas Hereford juniors? Little did they know that 20-plus years later their idea for a community service project would become a traditional and welcoming aspect at the annual Texas state preview show. Throughout the years, the Texas juniors have completed a variety of projects such as planting trees, collecting perishable food items and helping clothe the needy. Bethany Nolan, previous Texas Junior Hereford Association president, says, “It is such a great way to interact with the community while spending time with our Hereford families.” As a group, all of the juniors and their families come together to ensure that the needs around their “home for the week” are met. The Texas juniors have purchased fence posts, barbed wire and other fencing supplies

to help the fire-stricken ranches throughout west Texas. “After the wildfires in west Texas a couple of years back, we were able to collect about two or three pallets of barbed wire and about two or three pallets of fence post to help out the farmers and ranchers in the area,” says Jack Chastain, Texas Hereford Association manager. In addition, Jack recalls a service project pertaining to landscaping in the dry San Angelo heat and soil, noting that it was a “wild and wicked” experience, resulting in three broken ax handles and what seemed like a few broken backs for some of the fathers. Recently, the juniors and their families were able to interact and connect with residents at the Pavilion Hospital of Amarillo, a psychiatric hospital and mental health care system. The group brought in supplies needed by the hospital to furnish and comfort the

residents. A few of the residents even came to the expo center and were able to interact with the Hereford breeders and cattle. “It is very heartwarming and rewarding, not just knowing that we helped out, but knowing that because of our actions we were able to possibly change a life,” Bethany explains. “The community service projects not only help the ones in need, but also help the ones that are giving. It is always such a blessed experience.” Hosted in different locations, this year’s show will be at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton, Texas. Sarah Hamman, director of this year’s community service project, says, “We are excited to work with the McLane Children’s Scott and White Hospital. Everyone will be collecting items such as batteries, electronic and board games, clothes and other items that young children would like.” With more than a century of experience, McLane Children’s Scott and White Hospital’s mission is “to provide the most personalized, comprehensive, and highest-quality health care, enhanced by medical education and research” to the children of Central Texas.

Spotlight on Service | American Hereford Association

Sarah Rodriguez: AHA’s Friendly Voice by Lindsay Graber

s a little girl visiting her grandfather’s cattle farm, Sarah Rodriguez never imagined that she would eventually work for the American Hereford Association (AHA.) In May Sarah was recognized for 50 years of service to the AHA. At the age of 17, Sarah — along with a group of friends — responded to a high school bulletin board posting and applied for a position at the AHA. Originally, Sarah worked in the steno pool department as a typist but eventually transferred to the records department. During the early years, Sarah was also a relief switchboard operator. Today, Sarah’s sole responsibility is to be the switchboard operator and receptionist. Some of Sarah’s favorite memories of her employment at the AHA involve the National FFA Convention (formerly held in Kansas City) and the American Royal. During the National FFA Convention, Sarah served as a tour guide. Along with members of the records department, Sarah mingled with visitors to the AHA booth at the American Royal. She enjoyed speaking with cattle breeders from across the country as well as townfolk who came to see the sights at the Royal. Possibly her most unique memory is from

“It’s all about the breeders — a commitment I enjoy daily.” — Sarah Rodriguez the 1960s; Sarah and other AHA ladies would parade the “10 best head” of Herefords around the ring at the American Royal. During Sarah’s 50 years, the AHA has seen many changes. From approximately 150 to the current 25, there has been a large shift in staff numbers. Additionally, Sarah notes that technology has changed a great deal — from typewriters to computers.

Remaining unchanged though, is Sarah’s favorite part of working at the AHA: the people. She says, “It’s all about the breeders — a commitment I enjoy daily.” This is reflected in Sarah’s demeanor, a “big smile and friendly face,” notes Mary Ann Hackleman, a 56-year employee of the AHA and one of Sarah’s longtime coworkers. AHA Executive Vice President Craig Huffhines, says, “Sarah has been a wonderful personality, who has provided a friendly and fresh face for the Association. She remembers breeders’ voices, their names and members of families — a trait that truly gives the Association a personal touch.” Sarah believes she received good fortune on her first day of employment at the AHA, for she has enjoyed her job the last 50 years. In her opinion, she was destined to work at the Association. And with no reason to leave, Sarah has never looked for another job. Currently, she has no plans to retire. “It is rare to find people who are dedicated and choose to spend their entire career at one place. Sarah is, and always will be, a member of the Hereford family,” says Huffhines. Thank you, Sarah, for your service and dedication to the AHA. HW

CHB® Nuestro Rancho a Success in California Markets

he Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) specialty line Nuestro Rancho has found a great home with Viva Supermarkets of California. Viva Supermarkets is independently owned and based out of Sacramento, Calif. Sean Loloee, Viva Supermarkets’ owner, says two locations currently exist in Sacramento and Dixon, Calif., with plans for expansion into two new locations in 2013. Each store features both fullservice and self-service meat counters, as well as a service deli, a bakery, a food court and an extensive produce selection, Loloee says. And its primary clientele is the Hispanic community with a desire for high-quality meat. That’s where the CHB Nuestro Rancho line plays a tremendous role for the stores.

CHB Nuestro Rancho has been a great fit for the primarily Hispanic customer base of Viva Supermarkets of California.

/ July 2013

The Nuestro Rancho line features Select-grade Hereford beef, perfect for this dynamic, growing population. Nuestro Rancho beef is very lean with a bright red eye appeal and minimal — but perfect — white seam and cover fat. This product is also very competitively priced. High yield and consumer appeal combine to create a valuable economic opportunity for grocers who cater to millions of Americans in the Hispanic community. Loloee says his clients couldn’t be more pleased. “Quality is, by far, the No. 1 attribute our clients seek in their

beef purchases,” he says. “We are getting great reviews and are establishing a very loyal customer base with our meat products now. Customers are identifying us for our meat department, and it’s a great thing.” The consistent quality has been a tremendous asset to his business, as well, Loloee says. “The flavor, marbling and consistency are why we chose to go with the CHB product about two years ago,” he says. “The quality really stood out against the other meats we tried. And we know that every order and every case will be the same product. There’s no guessing.” The company support has also been a great advantage to the CHB product, he says. “Any time we’ve needed support, they’ve tried to step up to the plate and support us,” Loloee says. “It’s a great product, and we couldn’t be happier.” HW

Curtis Curry, American Hereford Association director and McAlester Hereford breeder, says the statues are a great advertisement for the Hereford breed. “Everybody that drives between St. Louis and Dallas sees those Herefords and are reminded what a great breed it is. It’s historical as well, prompting passers by to remember that Herefords were once nearly the only cattle in the West,” Curry says.

Ruyana got the idea for the sculptures from friends Bob and Grace Wallace, who travel the country in their motorcoach. As part of the Pride in McAlester program, Ruyana was considering different ways to set McAlester apart from other small towns. “I asked them what things you can by Sara Gugelmeyer do in a small town to put your town on the map so people remember it,” hen driving cross-country, Ruyana says. “So they brought me this people enjoy seeing cattle portfolio of things that had caught grazing in the pasture.
