World’s Perspective
Always Fitting
by Diane Meyer
We extend our gratitude for all who serve and inspire greatness.
Diane Meyer is the editor of Hereford World. She can be reached at dmeyer@hereford.org.
“The theme of the July 2020 Hereford World could not be more …” I type the word “fitting” only to delete it. “Fitting” is not the fitting word. Now halfway through 2020, earlier comments about having 20/20 vision are almost laughable. This year has not panned out in a way anyone could have foreseen. Amidst the fear, frustration and changes, it has been powerful to see the world rally around servicemen and women who work on the frontlines to protect our safety and freedom. This issue’s “Ground Hero” theme was determined months before a worldwide pandemic and riots changed the course of the year — because we believe it is always fitting to thank our heroes.
In this issue In the 97th Annual Herd Bull and Reference Edition, we pay homage to our Hereford Heroes. Beginning on Page 50, the “Ground Hero” theme features stories of our Hereford family members who embody the spirit of a hero. As you embark on the journeys of breeders who have served in the armed forces, emergency, medical and veterinary professions, you may notice a

common observation. Perhaps brothers Brett and Ivan Klippenstein say it best in Service Beyond the Cattle Guard (Page 82) —their careers have been an extension of the character traits they developed growing up on a farm. On Page 40, join us in remembering the late Gene Wiese, a true visionary and leader of the breed. Flip to Page 116 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Certified Hereford Beef ® brand, and see how this superior brand continues to represent a superior breed.
Thank you This issue faced some new challenges, and I thank our team of writers and the HPI staff who put this issue together despite changes to our regular workflow. I also thank our featured families for sharing their stories and working with us through the editing process. Let’s use 2020 as a reminder to always thank those who sacrifice on our behalf — those who always put their lives and wellbeing second. We appreciate your dedication to this publication, our association and this great breed. May your smile always bright up even the darkest of days.

Breed Focus
Surrounded by Heroes
by Jack Ward
Here’s to those serving, sacrificing and influencing our lives. A hero can be defined as one who shows great courage, and as you read through this Hereford World, you will find those who have certainly shown some great courage. As you receive this issue around July 4th, we celebrate another Independence Day. We can certainly be proud of the heroes who fought for our independence and lost their lives fighting for our freedom. The first part of 2020 has certainly reminded us of the freedoms we take for granted in the U.S. There were many heroes on the frontlines providing services through this pandemic who need to be commended. These start with healthcare providers, firemen, servicemen and anyone else who provided goods and services including ranchers and farmers.
Jack Ward is the executive vice president of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at jward@hereford.org.
Who’s your hero? We all have heroes from our past or who are currently a part of our lives. As we recently celebrated Father’s Day, I am sure most of us would agree that our dads are some of our best heroes. I was blessed with one of the best. Both of my parents are heroes of mine because they gave our family everything we needed, and I do not mean monetary gifts. They taught us to work hard, to be humble and to treat others with respect. Most importantly, they supported all of us in whatever we did. My interests lie firmly in the livestock industry — specifically the

cattle business. Most of my friends and heroes are connected to the agriculture world. I would consider my parents as heroes and being the next to youngest in a seven-kid family, I also consider my older brothers to be role models. I was blessed with great teachers and mentors as I grew up through 4-H and FFA and during college. My path has crossed with some great leaders during my career, and I really have great memories. Herman Purdy and Harlan Richie were two of my favorites growing up, and I had the pleasure of crossing paths with them over the years and even shared the judging arena with them a time or two. I was sitting next to Don Good during the market steer show in Denver one year, and it was fun to sit and to listen to his thoughts. These folks were great evaluators, and they paved the way for many changes within the cattle industry, and it was so interesting to interact with them. In more recent times, I have had the pleasure to work with some great people. The American Hereford Association (AHA) staff and membership is loaded with some of the best in the business. A few years ago, the AHA hosted a social during the Annual Meeting, and I was sitting with Bud Snidow. You talk about a historian. Bud was one of the best, and I was fortunate to hear his experiences as I started at the AHA. As Bud and I enjoyed each other’s company that evening, up walked James and Barbara Bennett (Knoll Crest Farms), and shortly after Gene Wiese joined our table. These breeders are icons, and they have paved the road for all of us in the cattle business. My list of heroes certainly does not stop there. Please enjoy the “Ground Hero” stories throughout this Hereford World, and I hope each of you have a blessed July 4th, as we guide ourselves through this pandemic. Hereford.org

Performance Matters
What to Know About MD
by Shane Bedwell
Learn more about the new novel defect discovered by researchers. The American Hereford Association (AHA), in collaboration with Dr. David Steffen and Dr. Jessica Petersen at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), has discovered a novel defect in Hereford cattle called Mandibulofacial Dysostosis (MD). This genetic defect is considered autosomal recessive, meaning an affected calf must have two carrier parents.
Overview Shane Bedwell is the chief operating officer and director of breed improvement of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at sbedwell@hereford.org.
The AHA was first contacted in early March 2020 about a calf with facial deformities, and per AHA rules, the case was referred to Dr. Steffen at UNL for diagnosis. Additional calves were reported from two other herds in the following weeks. The following are the findings from Dr. Steffen and Dr. Petersen: • Four Hereford calves were presented in March and April of 2020 with unusual defects of the face and jaw. Autopsy, evaluation of breeding records and genotyping were a cooperative effort. • The calves originated from three herds, each in a different state, making an environmental cause unlikely. Autopsy of the calves revealed shared, unique abnormal facial features. Breeding records demonstrated a common sire in the pedigree of both the sire and the dam of each affected calf. The similarity in the defect among the
Figure 1
10
Figure 2
| July 2020
calves and the pedigree analysis together suggested a new deleterious recessive mutation may exist. • The anatomic features overlap with a variety of other facial defects and can include cleft palate, brachygnathia (short jaw) and camplygnathia (crooked jaw or face). These are variably present in affected calves (Figures 1-3) and are sometimes dramatic (Figure 3). The unique and consistent hallmarks of the condition include unusual bilateral skin tags just behind the corner of the mouth (Figures 1-3). These tags are attached to an unusual bone formation. There may be additional skin tags near and/or below the ears. A ridge of Meckel’s cartilage, a structure usually present only during embryonic development, is retained in these calves and attaches to the skin tag. This cartilage is encased in bone as it is followed from the skin tag toward the base of the ear. This bone attaches specifically to the zygomatic process of the temporal bone (just above the articulation of the jaw). The calves’ ears are sometimes slightly small and floppy. Muscles of the jaw are underdeveloped, and calves may have an elongate oral opening appearing as an exaggerated smile. The nursing reflex is present, but nursing is not vigorous. Calves with
Figure 3
Hereford.org
the additional cleft palate and/ or severely shortened or crooked jaws are debilitated in their ability to nurse. Calves with the defect are live born but are not able to thrive. Utilizing whole genome sequencing, the research team at UNL identified a causative mutation from the animals submitted and the animals directly related to the affected calves. Next, UNL developed a single-marker assay to test additional animals to validate the test and to continue to verify the implicated genetic line. The research team at UNL is working with NeogenÂŽ to develop a commercially available test so breeders can submit DNA for testing or can have prior samples on file at the AHA tested. This test will be a standalone test and is not part of any current genotype panels on which animals have been tested. The AHA expects this test will be available in the coming months for breeders to utilize.
Testing options The research team at UNL is willing to test specific animals utilizing their own test to mitigate risk and to aid in identifying breaks in pedigree relationship transmission from established carrier animals. However, to ensure quality control, only artificially inseminated (AI) permitted bulls which have available semen will be allowed for initial testing. Since this is a single-marker test, parent verification is not possible on the assay developed at UNL, making it imperative parentage confirmation already be completed. For testing efficiency, UNL has requested only semen straws be submitted and samples be submitted through the AHA for batching and verification. To test herd bulls, breeders need to contact the AHA via phone or email with information on bulls they plan to submit. Semen straws must be shipped to the AHA. UNL will not be able to accept semen submission directly from breeders because this test is completed outside the scope of UNL’s regular diagnostic services in cooperation with research. Semen straws must be shipped thawed and with some form of protection with a frozen gel pack Hereford.org
or a frozen water bottle to: American Hereford Association, Attn: Shane Bedwell, 11500 N Ambassador Dr., Suite 410, Kansas City, MO 64153. Place the cold pack inside a ziplocked or similar bag to prevent condensation from damaging the paperwork, samples and shipping containers. The AHA suggests first testing impacted pedigrees in order to help identify breaks in transmission down the pedigree, but all AI-permitted bulls with semen available may be submitted for testing. Breeders should expect typical turnaround time for genotyping when submitting for MD testing at this time. To aid in determining which bulls to test, breeders can utilize the potential defect carriers report generated through MyHerd, but understand this tool constantly updates. Therefore, the AHA recommends breeders run the report periodically over the next couple of months as pedigree relationships will
be broken as more animals are tested and identified as either carriers or individuals free from the condition, which could implicate animals in other herds. Breeders can find animals that have been tested for MD at Herfnet.com. The AHA appreciates your cooperation with reporting cases of affected calves in order to identify this novel defect. Truly, it was a team effort between the breeders, UNL and the AHA staff in quickly addressing this genetic condition. Fortunately, with new technology and advancements, breeders can work around this defect to continue to breed carrier animals if they so choose, as opposed to totally culling affected genetic lines. The AHA will update the membership as more information becomes available on the commercial test at Neogen. We appreciate our strong membership and thank breeders in advance for their patience and cooperation.
Identified carriers On June 5, the American Hereford Association (AHA) published 11 animals (below) that were identified as a carrier for Mandibulofacial Dysostosis (MD) and are directly involved in the cases submitted to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for research. These 11 animals have been identified on Herfnet.com as Mandibulofacial Dysostosis Carrier (MDC). Please note the following list was last updated June 5. Animal name

If a suspect calf is presented, please alert the AHA or Dr. Steffen at the Nebraska Veterinary Diagnostic Center. Both parties can assist with proper diagnosis and parentage verification for this or any other abnormalities you may encounter. If you identify suspect calves in your herd, be alert for testing availability as screening at-risk animals in the breeding population is critical to prevent future losses.

Breed Improvement Genetic defect discovered The AHA, in collaboration with Dr. David Steffen and Dr. Jessica Petersen at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, have discovered a novel defect in Hereford cattle called Mandibulofacial Dysostosis (MD). This genetic defect is considered autosomal recessive, meaning an affected calf must have two carrier parents. For more information turn to the Performance Matters column on Page 10.
Merck Animal Health and AHA announce five-year educational partnership Merck Animal Health (known as MSD Animal Health outside the United States and Canada) announces its five-year partnership with the American Hereford Association (AHA) to educate members and cattle producers on the importance of animal health programs in maximizing cattle’s genetic potential. Through the partnership, Merck Animal Health will lead educational sessions at the AHA’s Annual Membership Meeting and Conference, as well as at the Association’s in-person and online educational opportunities. “Merck Animal Health is proud to partner with the American Hereford Association to deliver the latest information on building animal health programs and protocols that help improve cattle wellbeing and performance,” says Kevin Mobley, executive director of cattle sales and marketing for Merck Animal Health. “The AHA has a strong history and even brighter future as it continues to serve and educate its growing membership, including its younger members and future leaders of the industry.” The new partnership will support the value of developing strong genetic and animal health programs. “It’s great to have

Merck Animal Health work with our team,” says Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president. “Animal care and health are critical to the success of our producers’ operations, and we look forward to Merck Animal Health’s contributions in this educational effort.”
Submit photos and support the Hereford Youth To help kick off the new partnership, cattle producers are encouraged to share a photo showing them using a Merck Animal Health product with their own cattle. For every photo submitted to the AHA, Merck Animal Health will donate $100 (up to $15,000 total) to support the Hereford Youth Foundation of AmericaThe foundation is dedicated to scholarship, leadership and educational support of youth in the business of raising Hereford cattle. Submit photos via Facebook Messenger to the AHA and use #HerefordStrong in the message. Photos must be submitted by Sept. 15, 2020.

Member Service What to Know About Herd Inventories by Laura Loschke
It’s that time again. Fall 2020 herd inventories were generated last month for Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) members. Check your mail or your MyHerd account for your herd inventory, and to turn it in by July 15 to receive a $0.25 perhead discount on every female maintained on the inventory. Inventories turned in between July 16 and Sept. 1 will be charged $5.50 per cow, $3 per first time heifer and $1.50 per bull (optional). Any inventories turned in after Sept. 1 will incur the $2 per head surcharge. Any dam whose offspring you intend to register and to record weaning performance data on through the

Inventory FAQs Q: I sold a cow and transferred her to someone else’s ownership. Why is she still showing on my inventory? A: If an animal is listed on your inventory, but you have sold the animal, then a proper disposal code and date must be reported in order to remove the animal from your inventory. If the animal was sold with papers, the animal is not automatically removed from your inventory in case you still have offspring to register out of the animal. If you would like to remove the animal, use the disposal code “T sold with papers” and the appropriate disposal date. Q: If I have embryo transfer (ET) calves out of a dam I do not own, do I have to add the donor dam to my inventory? A: No, you do not have to add the donor dam to your inventory. However, a recipient cow inventory fee for each ET calf will be billed if the calf is recorded with birth performance information (birth weight). A recipient inventory fee will not be billed if birth information is not reported.
Q: If I jointly own a dam with someone else, but I don’t have physical possession of the dam and will not register her calf, how do I need to mark her on my inventory? A: If you multi-own a dam make sure you keep the dam on your inventory. However, if you aren’t the member who will be registering her calf, you will want to mark the dam as “CE12 Multi-owned, no calf.” Q: I have females that aren’t showing up on my inventory. Why? A: Remember, females won’t appear on the inventory until they have reached at least 18 months of age. Heifers should only be enrolled on the inventory if they’re bred to calve in the season described. In this instance, Fall 2020. Reproductive status and disposal code options are listed to the left. Laura Loschke is the records supervisor and education and information service coordinator of the American Hereford Association. She can be reached at lloschke@hereford.org.

At the age of 9 when I attended my first Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), I didn’t realize my parents were setting me loose on a path to find opportunities I would cherish for a lifetime. One of my fondest opportunities began in Louisville, Ky., at the 2017 JNHE. I can recall pacing the halls of the Kentucky Expo Center, repeating my speech over and over again, catching glimpses of the other candidates practicing. My heart still starts to race thinking about addressing the delegates, but that moment didn’t compare to the night I would find out if I was elected to the National

Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board of directors. Was I really going to get a maroon jacket? As it ends up, I did.
Party of four I remember the four of us getting our maroon jackets in Broadbent on the vibrant green chips. Add in Hereford cattle and it was a perfect combination, if you ask me. But the combination put together so perfectly was the four of us new directors. Walking out of Broadbent that night, I thought to myself, “Those are three pretty impressive people — it is going to be a lot of fun to see what we can do in three years.” If only I had known then what I know now. They are three incredibly talented people who have undoubtedly shaped the trajectory of the NJHA and the course of my life. First, you have to understand what makes our team perfect. The four of us have different backgrounds, talents and interests — each bringing something different to the table. As a member of the NJHA, you have the opportunity to find friends from across the country who share a similar passion but have different talents who can push you to grow. My challenge to each of you is to find a person like Rylee Barber, Brandt Downing or Hannah Williams to be on your team. When I say you need to find someone like these three, I mean you need to find someone who pushes you to strive to be the best you can be in all aspects of your life. A friend like Rylee comes around once in a lifetime. She
is the type of person who will put others before herself, thinks through the logistics of a situation before a decision is made and, more importantly, will pick up the phone whenever you need a friend. When you find a friend like Rylee, who is determined to make the best better, you are challenged to continually make yourself better. Picture a horse-drawn carriage, and imagine Brandt as the horse carrying the three of us girls in the carriage. Over the course of the last three years, Brandt has been the workhorse of our team who has completed the tasks few want to do, but the ones that need to be done. It does not matter what you ask of Brandt, he will do it and make sure it is done well with a smile that is contagious. When you find a friend like Brandt, who will lend a helping hand wherever it is needed, you are inspired to pitch in to get the job done. While you are on a mission to find your friends through the NJHA, I encourage you to find a person like Hannah who will push you outside your comfort zone. From jet setting to New Zealand to being in the meeting room, Hannah has been the one to push us past our comfort zone. When you find a friend like Hannah, who never lets you miss out on trying Hereford.org
a new experience, you broaden your horizons and have a lot of fun while doing so. The four of us have had our fair share of memories from conferences to hanging out in our college towns
together to a trip across the globe. I will cherish this experience for a lifetime. Juniors, my challenge to you is to find people like Rylee, Brandt and Hannah to be on your team. Life is challenging, oftentimes fun and always
better when you have the right people cheering for you. I found an incredible team in these three, and my hope is that you are able to find your team through the NJHA.
My Best Memories by Rylee Barber
Twenty-two years passed by in the blink of an eye. I never thought the day would come when I would officially retire from the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA), and as the 2020 event looms closer, I dread it more every day. The NJHA has been my home since the minute I attended my first Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in E. Lansing, Mich., for Spartan Time in 1999. I was only a year old at the time, and I have missed only one JNHE since.
Valuing the memories The JNHE has always been and will continue to be the highlight of my summer. It is where I have met some of my best friends, made countless memories and spent time with my family. My family has been involved in the NJHA for too many years to count, so it is no surprise most of our family pictures happen at the JNHE. While each and every JNHE is special in its own way, these last three years have been something spectacular. Serving on the junior board was something I wanted to do since 2006. I was at my first JNHE where I was able to exhibit, and my heifer was not the most kid friendly. I was the typical peewee showman getting stepped on and head butted and, in all honestly, the heifer was leading me around more than I was leading her. Then came the maroon jackets. They were there every step of the way lending a helping hand. The same was true for the next year and the year after. When I ran for the board, I had several goals in mind about how to help improve the NJHA. One of my personal goals was to be the board Hereford.org
member I needed as a little kid every time I stepped in that ring. I have been that kid in those boots before, and I know the difference it can make when you just need a little help. I call the NJHA home because it is where my family is. Oftentimes we talk about the Hereford family and what it means to us, but from the outside looking in, you cannot understand it. And from the inside looking out, you cannot explain it. My “boardie” family has truly been amazing over the past three years. From our trusty board moms, who take care of us every step of the way, to the three who have served by my side, there will never be enough words to adequately express my thanks. If you have already read Taylor Belle’s article you will know the four of us have truly become a team over the years, but there is one thing she missed — Taylor Belle is our fearless leader; she sticks up for us and for our causes without hesitation. She will be the first one to cheer us on but also the first one to tell us when we are slacking. Our team would not be complete without her serving as our chairman. She is truly one of a kind.

Dr. Seuss says it best, “You will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” The memories made serving over the past three years are treasures for which I will be eternally grateful. Thank you, NJHA, for electing me to serve and for being the best Hereford family I could ask for.

Foundation’s Focus Remembering a Hereford Youth Supporter by Amy Cowan
Luke 12:48 says, “To whom much is given, much will be required.” To Donna Vanier, Brookville, Kan., this was much more than biblical council — it was a way of life. Donna, 85, passed away May 23, 2020. She possessed an outlook on life which focused on making a difference in the lives of her family and her community. Donna and the Vanier family aimed to support the growth of the junior members involved in raising Hereford cattle. Through the Hereford Youth Foundation of America’s (HYFA) and the Vanier Family scholarships, Donna’s vision lives on and her legacy continues to make a difference in the lives of countless juniors, helping them reach their full potential. She was born in Salina, Kan., on Oct. 24, 1934, to Willis and Helen Lindsey. Donna lived most of her adult life with her husband,
Donna Vanier
John (Jack), on the CK Ranch outside Brookville. As matriarch of a ranch family, her commitment to their way of life did not stop at the fence line.

Donna is known as someone who worked harder at CK Ranch than anyone. She was active in all aspects of the cattle business including producing the ranch’s annual production sale catalogs, hosting countless ranch tours, tracking cattle inventories and making employees and their families feel valued and appreciated. Her dedication and support of her family and her family’s work was motivated by care and kindness. As one of the founders of the American Hereford Association Auxiliary, Donna sought to ensure leadership in the next generations of agriculture by offering scholarships through HYFA and the Kansas 4-H Foundation. Donna served as the driving force behind the creation of the Donna L. Vanier Children’s Center, which opened in 2012. She also
served many years as treasurer of the Christy Cathedral Episcopal Church and the Episcopal Diocese of Western Kansas, was a founding board member of the Greater Salina Community Foundation, served as chair of the governing boards of Salina Regional Health Foundation, the Rolling Hills Museum and St. John’s Military School and was a contributing member of countless other local boards and organizations. At Kansas State University (K-State), Donna held leadership roles on the K-State Foundation board of directors and the Ahearn Scholarship board and was chair of the Beach Museum of Art board of visitors. She earned the K-State Medal of Excellence, which recognizes those who have advanced K-State through exceptional service, leadership and philanthropic contributions. She is remembered as one who never forgot a birthday, an anniversary or any other significant milestone. Donna was the truest of friends and a source of wisdom and kindness. Her many friends from the Salina area, the cattle industry and the K-State family brought her immense joy. Donna is survived by her husband of 65 years, Jack; daughters, Mary Vanier and Marty Vanier; Marty’s stepchildren, Katie, Kirsten and Kathy; son, John K. Vanier II and his daughters, Lauren and Sarah; John’s wife, Kim, Kim’s children, Pallie, Landon, Jess, Ty, Jake and Norah.

Social Media Etiquette
by Hannah Johnson
We live in a very visual world where there are pictures and videos just about everywhere. Even gas pumps have little news clips and advertisements playing to keep their customers’ attention. When it comes to capturing attention on social media channels, sharing the best images and videos possible is important to catch the eye of your audience. The goal is to have them stop scrolling and engage with your post. In addition to having an active social media presence, it’s also important to share clear and transparent information with your audience. Part of being farmers and ranchers is telling your story to help promote a high-quality product and to educate others. People want their information straight from the source, and social media is a great platform you have in your back pocket. Here are tips and tricks to capture the best images that convey the right message to your audience:
• If you want to post pictures of activities in the barn, make sure your space is clean. This precaution will prevent the audience from becoming distracted.
• Be sure you are following proper health and safety
protocols if you share pictures of working cattle in any way. Practicing proper animal husbandry shines a positive light on cattle producers.
• Provide a clear explanation
of what is happening in the picture. Your farming friends and family more than likely know the day-today of your operation but providing information to the consumer or someone who knows little about the cattle industry makes a difference.
• Focus on telling a story.
Audiences resonate well with emotion. Describe your “reason why” behind the scene to help your audience create a personal connection with the content.
• Engagement is key. If someone
asks a question, make your best effort to reply. As I mentioned before, you all are the most knowledgeable about your operation, and people want to hear directly from you.
Notable updates As you navigate through the American Hereford Association website, you may find some changes. First, I want to note that under the “Media” tab,
Complete Dispersal
ROTH HEREFORD FARM
the “Press Releases” page has been changed to “News.” This link will now include press releases, videos and photos. The next change is the Association now has a new category featured in the Hereford Headlines blogs. Since our partnership with Merck Animal Health, we have teamed up with Merck to start the Hereford Health blog series. To find these blogs, click on “Hereford Headlines Blog” under the “Media” tab. From there, click on “Hereford Health” listed under “Categories” on the right-hand side of the page.
Light at the end of the tunnel With a lot of changes happening in our world due to COVID-19, I want to encourage everyone to stay positive. I understand everyone has been affected in some way, but good will come out of this. We were all able to spend more time with (or at least make more phone calls to) our loved ones. I saw many homeschooling pictures, but the most enjoyable images were kids learning in the barn, helping cook and bake, or just spending more time playing outside. Let’s take those little moments and hold on to them. Many places have taken steps to get back to “normal” life, but there are still some unknowns, and events for our industry are looking a little different. I hope you all still take advantage of every learning opportunity and make the most of it.

Stay Hereford Strong
by Erika Evoniuk
COURTESY OF 2020 TEXAS JUNIOR HEREFORD STATE SHOW
Since mid-March our Hereford family has been challenged in many ways due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Our youth have been sent home from school and are learning a new curriculum taught by parents. In many ways that new curriculum has been extended to the barn to be fulfilled (e.g., feed rations = math, cattle vaccination = science, breaking cattle = physical education).
Conquering on Our youth members have been robbed of the normal traditions of spring break, school dances and graduation. Many livestock shows have been cancelled, and these cancellations have increased their disappointment because they work so hard and look forward to the showring and seeing their cattleshowing friends. While these times have been trying for our youth, they have

also been challenging for our members. Some are facing health issues and are more vulnerable during this time, others are facing financial struggles with loss of income, and we are all missing face-to-face interaction with our Hereford family. In the midst of these challenging times, so much perseverance has occurred. Hereford leadership meetings still occurred but not under normal means and, instead, through virtual platforms. Showmanship contests have been conducted via video recording submissions. And while many activities were cancelled, working with Hereford cattle was not — and our passionate youth depicted that on social media all throughout the quarantine days. We are all looking forward to getting back to normal; we each have a part to play to make that happen. Social distancing has significantly helped to flatten the curve, but as our economy starts to open back up, we can all take an extra step to gear up with a mask to cover our mouth and nose while in public. Many members of our Hereford family have sewn masks for local businesses, family members and friends. If you are in need of a mask or want to add to your collection,
please support the National Hereford Women (NHW), who are selling Hereford face masks through our shop on Facebook. We express our heartfelt appreciation to the current heroes on the front lines today, some of whom are our very own members serving as healthcare workers, emergency service providers, retail supply chain employees and contributors. We are American Hereford breeders and enthusiasts, even if we have been separated. We can still work together to overcome the challenges we are facing. We will get through this and see each other again. Our timeline may get extended, but it will be achieved. Stay healthy!

Waggoner Cattle Company is built upon a foundation of performance-based genetics. Most of the cow families in our herd trace back generations to cattle raised on our farm in Carthage, Mississippi. Our sire selection, both natural and AI, consists of the most proven and predictable bulls that fit our goal of producing functional, carcass and multi-trait cattle.

HEALTH quote, there is a degree of truth to it, and the speaker was certainly ahead of his time in recognizing the importance of the “disease triangle” (Figure 1).
The Disease Triangle At about the time that I was sitting in that tent in Ohio, preconditioning programs were gaining traction in the cattle industry. Pre-conditioning programs work because they combine both vaccination pre-weaning and weaning and adaptation to feed (aka “bunkbroke”) prior to shipping. The importance of factors beyond vaccination in disease prevention is the essence of the disease triangle. Think of the disease triangle as a three-legged stool. If one leg weakens or fails, the entire stool will weaken and fail. It is critical to address all three aspects of the disease triangle in your disease prevention plan:
Vaccines and Vaccination:
Factors to Consider Apply the disease triangle when building a disease prevention program. by Lowell T. Midla
I
can still remember the scene: I was 9 years old, sitting in a tent on a straw bale, attending the Buckeye Hereford Association summer field day. The event speaker was a feedlot operator who was discussing pneumonia and bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in cattle soon after feedlot entry. “I don’t care if they’ve been

• Improve the host’s ability to
withstand disease (ensure timely colostrum intake, vaccination, nutrition, internal parasite control, etc.)
• Minimize environmental
factors that lead to susceptibility (avoid multiple concurrent stressors)
• Minimize exposure to
pathogens (create a feasible herd biosecurity plan – and then follow it)
Figure 1: vaccinated or not,” I recall him saying. “If they are weaned and bunk-broke when I get them, they’ll do fine.” His statement hit me pretty hard because, when I was 9, I thought a vaccinated animal was completely protected from disease. While today I do not agree completely with the Hereford.org
Let me be clear, I am not downplaying or devaluing the effectiveness of vaccines, but vaccination is only one part of disease prevention. If I were to critique both veterinarians and producers, I would say we — and as both a veterinarian and a Hereford breeder, I truly mean “we” — tend to focus too much upon the pathogen. While there are cases where a virulent pathogen is the direct cause of a disease outbreak, in most cases disease outbreaks are not the result of a particularly bad bug. Instead, disease is the result of a relatively moderate pathogen challenge in a compromising environment to a compromised host. Figures 2 and 3 show the disease triangle applied to BRD and pinkeye, respectively. Note that in Figure 2, vaccination is listed twice — once under “host” because it contributes to enhancing host immunity, and again under “environment” as a potential additional stressor. While the magnitude varies to which individual vaccines act as stressors, most vaccines are stressors to some degree. Therefore, try to avoid giving vaccines on top of additional stressors (e.g. castration, weaning, etc.). Below you will find several elements to consider when building a vaccination program. 1) Create a tailored program with your veterinarian There is no one-size-fits-all vaccination program — you can’t simply copy something out of a magazine article or an extension publication and use it. Find a local veterinarian who is knowledgeable and who enjoys working with cattle, and work with them to design a program for your operation. Factors to discuss with your veterinarian include:
• Historical prevalence of

...Vaccines and Vaccination continued from page 35
with infection, but does not prevent infection. While there is variation between vaccines, it generally takes two weeks or so for vaccines to stimulate protective immunity, and this means two weeks after the booster dose for killed vaccines.
• For vaccines that require a booster: booster not given or inappropriately timed. • Selenium, copper, or other deficiency in the animal on the day of vaccination
• Interference of maternal
antibody received via colostrum with vaccination of calves during the first three months or so of life
• Management practices on
the farm that may preclude the implementation of ideal vaccination recommendations. For example, if calves cannot be gathered for BRD vaccination prior to weaning, then you may consider a giving an intranasal vaccine at one to two months of age prior to turnout (e.g. at branding) or at weaning.
• Duration of immunity (DOI)
afforded by a given vaccine. While this has recently changed, historically the words “revaccinate annually” were printed on all cattle vaccine labels regardless of the actual DOI resulting from the vaccine. DOI afforded by vaccines varies greatly by the pathogen, the adjuvant in the vaccine, and whether the vaccine is a modified live virus (MLV) or a killed vaccine.
2) Be aware of why vaccines and vaccination can fail

• Generally longer

• Generally lower risk of
• Generally no booster
• Improper vaccine handling:
▶ Exposure to temperatures outside of the label range before injection. Do not accept a vaccine that is warm when delivered. Do not store vaccines in the refrigerator door because they will get warm every time the door is opened. Many refrigerators cycle between too warm and too cold, or have warmer or colder areas within them. Ideally, actual refrigerator temperature where the vaccine is stored should be monitored. ▶ Exposure to sunlight or warm or cold temperatures during animal processing and administration. Take a cooler with you to the chute. ▶ A delay between mixing and administering an MLV vaccine. Ideally, this should be less than one hour.
• Internal parasite burden in the animal on the day of vaccination too high (>85°F) on the day of vaccination. If you are sweating, then don’t vaccinate.
3) Determine when to use a modified-live or a killed vaccine On one hand, implementation of an MLV vaccine program in beef cows can be difficult, given that calving season can be extended in beef herds and modified-live vaccines must be administered between calving and breeding. On the other hand, there are several advantages of MLV vaccines including:
• Inadequate or inappropriately timed colostrum intake by the calf after vaccinating the dam to increase antibodies in colostrum to prevent calf scours
mediated immunity
duration of immunity granulomas, i.e. lumps requirement
• Generally more affordable than killed vaccines
Vaccinating calves with an MLV prior to weaning is safe provided the cows have consistently received an annual vaccination.
Summary Vaccines are effective at preparing cattle (the “host”) to deal with a disease challenge, but are only one part of a disease prevention program. Management (the “environment”) and nutrition (the “host”) as well as biosecurity (preventing exposure to the “pathogen”) are equally important. Find a good veterinarian and work with them to develop a vaccination program specific to your farm. Editor’s note: Lowell T. Midla, VMD, MS, is a cattle technical services veterinarian with Merck Animal Health. This article is the first of a series of articles about vaccination provided by Merck Animal Health that will be published in upcoming issues of the Hereford World.

A Legacy of Integrity Gene Wiese, Manning, Iowa, leaves a legacy of integrity, knowledge and love for family. by Christy Couch Lee
O
n Nov. 14, 2019, past American Hereford Association (AHA) leader and icon Gene Wiese passed away at the age of 90. He accomplished a great deal in his nine decades on earth. But those who knew Gene say that although the awards were nice, those are not what truly mattered to this man. No, what mattered most to this man was simple: fostering an incredible legacy within his family and treating every man as an equal.

| July 2020
It starts and ends in Manning, Iowa Eugene “Gene� Lester Wiese was born Aug. 31, 1929, in Carroll, Iowa. After graduating from Manning High School in 1947, he attended Iowa State University (ISU), where he earned a degree in animal science. There, he excelled as a member of the livestock, dairy and meat judging teams. In 1953, Gene married Jean Alice Warnke and joined the family Hereford operation begun in 1912. Hereford.org
As partners in Wiese & Sons, the couple enjoyed traveling together to numerous stock shows around the U.S. and in Europe and Australia. The couple managed the operation with their son and daughter-in-law, David (Dave) and Diana, and their daughter, Helen. Dave and Diana’s three sons — Chance, Shayne and Trey — are the fifth generation of Wieses on the Hereford and farming operation. Another daughter, Kathryn, and her son, Kieran, live in Hawaii.
Love for family Ask anyone who knew Gene and Jean, and he or she would tell you family meant the world to the Wieses. Dave says Gene expected a lot. But he also gave a lot in return. “Though he was demanding, Gene was always very fair and would provide support and a positive outlook in any situation,” Dave says. “No matter the situation, either on the farm or in life, give 110%. Then whether you win or lose, succeed or fail, you can walk away saying you gave it your best.” This lesson was instilled early with Gene’s grandson, Shayne. “He was a big believer that hard work pays off and success doesn’t come easy,” Shayne says. “At a young age, he expected us to contribute to the ranch regardless if the job was very fun. I vividly remember chopping thistles with a spade and picking up garbage out of the road ditches. These experiences really set the foundation for my drive to be the first one up and the last one working. He taught all of us Wiese grandkids that hustle and hard work will get us closer to success than natural talent, and this translated to a lot of our past achievements in our young careers.”
being a father and mentor to my children, as Gene was for me.” Integrity was always a central focus of Gene’s business and for his life in general, Chance says. “The greatest advice my grandfather offered me was to ensure that you build your brand through honesty and integrity,” Chance says. “He could not stress enough: when you’re marketing your cattle, tell that customer the truth and the whole truth continued on page 42...
Love for cattle and the land Wiese & Sons takes pride in offering quality, “good-doin’” Hereford and Angus bulls for the commercial industry. Today, the operation consists of about 400 registered cows, with 175 yearling and 2-year-old bulls being sold by private treaty each year. Few achievements in Gene’s life brought him more joy than passing on the family operation — and the land — to the next generations of the Wiese family. Dave recalls seeing that joy for the first time. “After my wife and I brought our first son, Chance, home from the hospital, Gene was beyond thrilled to meet his very first grandson,” Dave says. “Besides seeing the expression on his face, I can remember in this moment he told me, ‘You’re not working for yourself anymore, but you’re working for the next generation and the next agriculturalist.’ That’s something that always stuck with me and made me realize the importance of Hereford.org

about that bull or female. He said, ‘You sell one good bull, five people will know about it. You sell one bad bull, 20 people will know about it.’” And even more than raising cattle, Gene was focused on improving the land for the future and had a mind for conservation, Trey says. For this reason, he was honored with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Region III Environmental Stewardship Award in 1996. “Grandpa Gene continuously stressed the importance of being stewards of the land,” Trey says. “One piece of advice that I will always remember was him telling me, ‘We’re not in the cattle business, we’re in the land business.’ Without taking care of the land and resources now, there will be nothing left for future generations.”
Love for others Gene also believed in service to the industry. He was an AHA director from 1966-72 and served as president in 1970-71. He also served as a director and president of the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association and the Iowa Hereford Association. His service was also recognized through other organizations, as he was named an Iowa Master Farmer and an ISU distinguished alumnus, and he received the Alpha Gamma Rho Century Award. And his compassion for others has carried into his children and grandchildren, Shayne says. “Besides Mr. Gene’s great eye for cattle, he was such an honest and caring person,” Shayne says. “He is the perfect example of how someone needs to act to make it in this business. Customers
A True Friend in the Industry Gene’s legacy doesn’t begin and end with his family. It also carries on and in those who respected and admired him — and those who called him a friend. Those friends share some of the greatest memories — and life lessons — learned from their decades of friendship with Gene Wiese.
Guy Colyer, Colyer Herefords & Angus, Bruneau, Idaho
Guy says he always respected and looked up to Gene — even before they ever met. “Growing up, we didn’t have any purebred cattle — we had commercial cattle,” he says. “Our only contact at that time was through Hereford World. I would always read it from cover to cover, and I always had such respect for Indian Mound Ranch, Northern Pump Farms and Wiese & Sons.” Guy says he always viewed those big-name operations as “out of reach.” And then, he and his wife, Sherry, began to attend national Hereford shows, including the American Royal in the 1960s, where Guy had his first opportunity to meet Gene. “I could see the attention he drew, and the amount of respect everyone had for him during the national meeting at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS),” he says. “He judged all of the major shows, including the NWSS, through the late ’70s and early ’80s.” Through the years, a friendship developed. And, Guy says the admiration remained and Gene was a true icon of the Hereford breed. “He was a real leader,” he says. “Whenever he was in the room, he commanded attention. He was very kind, and yet you knew he was knowledgeable. He gave much of himself to leadership through the years, and yet he was humble and kind. He always had time to visit with anyone, and he never made anyone feel as if he was better than anyone else. I was in awe of his knowledge.” Gene was active in the American political scene and told many stories that drew Guy in, he says. “I was watching the national news one night, during the time when Reagan was running for president,” he says. “Reagan was coming off a plane in Iowa to deliver a campaign speech. And Gene was standing right there as he got off the plane. It was pretty interesting to see him on the national news with Reagan!” Guy also enjoyed hearing stories of Gene delivering bulls to Lyndon B. Johnson’s ranch during Johnson’s term as U.S. President.
42
| July 2020
“Gene loved to tell stories getting to the ranch in Texas, and Johnson pulling into the drive in his limousine entourage to look at the bull Gene had brought him for that year,” he says. Gene leaves a legacy of quality, leadership and integrity, Guy says. “I had the utmost respect for Gene, as did many breeders across the nation,” he says. “He and his family were committed to raising good Hereford bulls to fit into the commercial industry. He was a great ambassador for the breed, and he was a great friend.”
Bill Breeding, B&C Cattle & Co., Miami, Texas
Bill met Gene at the National Western Stock Show in the ’60s. “He was a young man then, and I was really young,” he says. “He was one of the most positive, outstanding men I had ever met. He always looked on the bright side, whether it was life in general, the Hereford business, his family, or his good-doin’ bulls.” Bill says he will always remember Gene for his kindness. “It didn’t matter that he was the president of the AHA (American Hereford Association) board of directors — he always knew you,” he says. “He always had time to stop and say ‘hello’ and visit.” Gene’s business sense was incredible, Bill says. “Once, he gave me a little stock tip,” he says. “He told me if I had any extra money, I should invest it in the ground floor of a little packing plant in Iowa. I said, ‘Gene, why would I want to buy stock in a little packing plant in Iowa?’ I was thinking of the little local lockers here in the area. Well, that little plant turned into Iowa Beef Processors Inc. (IBP). My billfold would be a lot thicker now if I had taken his advice.” When Gene passed, Bill says, he left a legacy of integrity and a positive mindset. “He always knew it never did any good to whine about the market, the cattle business, or rain,” he says. “He knew you needed to be positive in how you think, and things will generally turn out alright.”
Loyd Whitehead, Rocking Chair Ranch, San Angelo, Texas Loyd met Gene at the American Royal in 1966. “Gene was well known in the Hereford business, and I looked up to him,” Loyd says. “I was a newcomer, and he took me under his wing. He was one of my idols, from a young age.”
Hereford.org
remember if you are nice and fair with them. That’s the legacy he leaves. Breeding good cattle is challenging, but being a good person isn’t. I believe that is the main goal of all of us grandsons, and we want to continue to leave that legacy at Wiese & Sons. We want to be known for our great cattle, but even more so for our kind and considerate natures.”
Leaving a legacy Gene’s legacy lives on in his family, and his values are destined to carry on for generations, Chance says. “Gene’s greatest legacy was to ensure the next generation here on the operation was set up for nothing but success,” Chance says. “To this day, I
Loyd always looked up to Gene for his service in the industry. And, he says, he was proud to follow in Gene’s footsteps as the AHA president years after Gene. As the years progressed, Loyd and Gene’s friendship grew. With that evolved many inside jokes. “I called him the ‘Moses of the Hereford Association,’ because he knew everyone and the history of the Association,” Loyd says with a laugh. “He didn’t like the title. But I gave it to him, anyway.” Gene will be remembered for many positive traits, Loyd says. First, his service to the Hereford industry. “He gave back to the Association, serving as AHA president,” Loyd says. “And he always helped others, by answering any question you asked. He was very knowledgeable. And he had great integrity. You could buy a bull, sight unseen, from him and know he would work for you.” Above all, Loyd says, is the legacy he leaves behind through his family. “Gene was a family man and a God-fearing man,” Loyd says. “His family carries on his legacy through Wiese & Sons, and they will for a long time.”

Phil says from that first visit, they were impressed. “As we inquired about coming out, Mr. Gene said, ‘If you come, you won’t be disappointed,’” Phil says. “And for some 30 years later, he was right. We were never disappointed.” From that first visit, Dave says, Gene’s true character shone. “Mr. Gene was always more interested in knowing about what you had to say, rather than talking about himself,” Dave says. Gene provided guidance and advice for Dave and Phil throughout their 30-year relationship. Every Saturday for those three decades, the duo chatted with Gene by phone. And, Dave says, he knew the advice they received was solid. “Mr. Gene was so iconic because of his macro understanding of the beef industry,” Dave says. “So many seedstock producers know how to sell bulls, but they don’t know the continuation of the food chain. Mr. Gene knew how to sell bulls, but he always realized commercial cattlemen were producing beef for consumption by the public. He had a total world view of the beef industry. Mr. Gene Hereford.org
can still recall when I approached both Gene and Jean to inform them of my intentions to return to the operation. To see the sheer emotion on their faces made me truly realize what this place meant to the two of them. I think we all realize he left some big shoes to fill.” Above all, Dave says, Gene instilled the value of family. “Gene would always stress to be sure to take care of ourselves both physically and mentally, continue being stewards of the land, and to always be thinking about the next generation,” Dave says. “Most importantly, be sure to value your life, family and loved ones because no matter what happens in life, they’ll be the ones alongside you through the good times and bad.”
knew his way around a corporate balance sheet, and he also knew how to produce cattle.” As well, Gene provided a wealth of history of the Hereford breed, Dave says. “Mr. Gene encompassed a tremendous era of the cattle business,” Dave says. “I loved to hear him tell stories of running cattle by railcar across the country and to Denver. He was involved in the cattle business when there was a lot of romanticism to it.” Dave and Phil have many fond memories of their time with Gene through the years. “The last major show Mr. Gene judged was the Fort Worth Stock Show,” Dave says. “He said, ‘Boys, come on down. You’ll be my security.’ It was a hoot. We drove the car, we took him down, and we were in the middle of the ring with him. It was a great time.” Phil says Gene also had a soft spot for youth. “When my kids were growing up, we would all drive out to Manning, Iowa, and spend time with the Wiese family,” Phil says. “One time, we delivered a bull to them. My sons, Nathan and Whit, brought a box of grass clippings from our home farm to keep with the bull, so that the bull wouldn’t ‘forget home.’ Gene was so touched by this, he gave each of my children a heifer.” The legacy Gene leaves behind is multifaceted, Dave says. “First, he left us a tremendous package of genetics,” Dave says. “Our herd is essentially Wiese genetics. The animals are functional and have a great disposition.” Secondly, Dave says, was his ability to help others see the best in themselves. “He had an uncanny ability to make us believe in ourselves,” Dave says. “We probably believed we were better than we actually were. But he convinced us we were actually that good.” Integrity and Gene go hand in hand, Dave says. “Mr. Gene was an inspiration for vision, honesty and integrity in the cattle business,” Dave says. “He was the real deal.” And, Phil says, the greatest legacy he leaves behind is in Manning, Iowa. “Mr. Gene had a profound love affair with his wife, Mrs. Jean,” Phil says. Dave agrees. “It was a lifetime love story,” he says. “Mr. Gene was the concept person, and Mrs. Jean was the right arm with the details and the numbers. They made a good team.” July 2020 |

GROUND HERO
Foundation for Today
Bob and Connie Hermann, Perkins County, S.D., live an American legacy of service and ranching. by Kayla Jennings
A
few pages back in the history book consume minds with iconic moments in time that forever shaped the country as it is today. History reveals the past to better prepare for the future, but history is not confined to yellowed pieces of paper within dated textbooks. No, history is being lived each and every day by ranchers, farmers, servicemen and women, politicians and others. Undoubtedly, across all the hardships filling those pages, there are mainstay industries that kept this country afloat — and continue to.
Coined the wisest pursuit and the most noble employment by past presidents, agriculture has been one of the foundational industries in this country since its beginning. Likewise, brave men and women who have served on behalf of the United States of America domestically and abroad are in the same company — noble, wise, and a foundation upon which this country grew. To both pursuits, Americans are forever in debt. Beneath a silver belly hat and with his wife, kids and grandkids at his side, Bob Hermann, Perkins
Each member of the Hermann family, from the youngest to the oldest, plays a unique and valuable role on the ranch. For Bob and Connie, there is no other way to raise a family than on a ranch.

Hereford.org
County, S.D., combines the essence of both. Bob and Connie are second-generation Hereford breeders, ranching on the same land Bob’s father purchased when he came over from Austria. In addition to expanding their operation of red and white cattle across the plains of northwestern South Dakota, Bob served in the U.S. Army from 1969 to 1971.
Not for trade As the story goes, Gus Hermann, Bob’s dad, arrived in the country in the 1920s before purchasing the homestead land still in the family today. After a short stretch with Shorthorns, he quickly switched to Herefords, and the Hermanns have not changed since. “It is just the mothering ability, and the predictability,” Bob shares about why they stick with Herefords. “They’ve just been good to us.” “Another reason we have Hereford cattle is because of their calm disposition,” Connie adds. “That’s really important, especially when you have family in all different ages.” Bob fondly remembers growing up ranching with his father and cherishes the shared passion they had, which he and Connie shared with their four children: Ryan, Laurie, Jamie and their late oldest son. While the Hermann children are still involved in the ranching business, Ryan, his wife, Tina, and their boys, Walker (6) and Weston (4), work directly with Bob and Connie. While their other two children do not live on the ranch, they are still involved with the family business. Laurie and her husband, Eric, raise cattle nearby, and Jamie and his wife, Julie, work in the public-school system as well as raise a small herd of cattle. The Hermanns’ spring-calving commercial Hereford herd requires all hands on deck, Hereford.org
including grandchildren: Walker, Weston, Riley, Payton, Garrett and Kole. While Connie has a career outside the ranch, she pulls her weight helping with all segments from tractor driving to calving and paperwork. The herd is primarily bred by artificial insemination, and natural service sires are used to cover the remaining cows.

This spirit of comradery spilled over from Bob’s childhood on the ranch to his time in the service. In fact, as fate would have it, two worlds collided when a fellow Hereford breeder ended up serving at the same time as Bob. They were both drafted into the U.S. Army in 1969 for basic training at Ft. Lewis, Wash., and went on to Vietnam in different units. While Bob’s time serving was only a few years, it certainly accounts for many life experiences he would not have had otherwise.

GROUND HERO
Worth the Sacrifice
World War II veteran, Lester Schafer, Buffalo Lake, Minn., was proud to serve and is honored to remember. by Christy Couch Lee
I
t has been nearly a lifetime ago. But the memories are just as vivid for this 93-year-old as they were when he was a young man of 19 stepping off a ship and onto German soil in his U.S. Army uniform. Lester Schafer, Buffalo Lake, Minn., helped to rebuild the war-torn German landscape in the months following World War II battles, with the U.S. Army of Occupation. He may not have seen combat during his service, but his eyes were most definitely opened to the effects of war.
Lester dons his U.S. Army uniform each Memorial Day with the American Legion to honor those who served. His great grandson, Miles Schroeder, learned the importance of honoring veterans.

“We served and put our time in,” he says. “The biggest share I served with hadn’t seen combat. But we saw the results of it.” Now, 75 years later, Lester still proudly dons his U.S. Army uniform to participate in services honoring American veterans and says it is important we all never forget.
Journey to Germany Lester was raised on his family’s Hereford operation south of Buffalo Lake, and he graduated high school in 1944. He worked on the farm until November 1945, when he was drafted into the U.S. Army. World War II had ended two months prior; however, military help was still needed. He completed basic training in Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. and spent a bit of time in California. He was then shipped by railcar to Camp Kilmer, a U.S. Army camp located in New Jersey. “From there, we boarded a Victory ship and set sail, passing the White Cliffs of Dover and docking in Bremerhaven, Germany,” Lester says. From Bremerhaven, he traveled across the country to Altlussheim, which is located on the Rhine River. There, he was stationed about 10 days before being moved to Stuttgart in 1946, where he was assigned to the job of dispatcher in the motor pool. “They learned I knew how to type, so that’s how I got the job,” he recalls. Living in a former German barracks, he worked in this city that was greatly damaged from the war. “We sent out a lot of trucks and repair crews, as it was our job to rebuild many bridges and much infrastructure destroyed during the war in Germany,” Lester says. “Stuttgart was nearly Hereford.org
in complete shambles after the war. The streets were bulldozed, as bricks from demolished buildings had to be pushed to the side in order to travel the streets.” Lester returned to the U.S. in January 1947 and was discharged the following month. Thanks to the G.I. Bill, he earned a degree in animal husbandry from the University of Minnesota in 1951. “That was well worth the time spent,” Lester says.
The impact of war At the young age of 19, Lester found his eyes opened to the true sufferings and effects of war. First, he says, is the effect on the population of war-torn countries. Very few younger German men were in the areas where Lester was stationed — a result of loss during the war and the devastation to the population. This lack of men left many young German women alone. As a result, many U.S. servicemen fell in love with these German women and returned to the U.S. to marry. Additionally, Lester noted the effect the war and the loss of German men had on children in Germany. “When it was lunch time or meal time for the servicemen, the German children would congregate,” Lester recalls. “It didn’t take us long to figure out they were hungry. So, as we were going through to fill our plates at meal time, we would always add more than we could eat and would give it to the German children.” They also helped to feed local families in other ways. As servicemen, the U.S. troops were able to obtain German hunting permits. “I was fortunate to be able to shoot a deer and a wild boar,” Lester says. “Other troops were also with me, and we donated those animals to the German people who very much appreciated the food.”
Proud to serve Up until this year, due to COVID-19 restrictions on gatherings, Lester has proudly worn his U.S. Army uniform and participated in local Memorial Day services with the American Legion. “Until recently, I also marched in the parade and have participated in the 21-gun salute,” Lester says. “But the M1 Garand rifle is getting pretty heavy these days.” Lester believes it is important to remember the service of our military members — those who have seen battle deal with the effects for a lifetime. “Most servicemen who saw active combat aren’t willing to sit down and talk about it,” he says. “Even when I was in Germany, I served with several servicemen who had served during the war and fought. They wouldn’t talk about it — even to us. “The conditions were such that they dealt with dying and wounded,” he continues. “I think with Hereford.org
Hereford for a lifetime Once Lester Schafer returned home from Germany, he went back to his first love: raising Hereford cattle. His registered Hereford herd was originally started by his grandparents in 1917. Through the years, Lester has been a leader in utilizing the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program. Today, he; his wife, Kathleen; and their son, John, manage the operation. “John does most of the planning these days. With my age as it is, I do as little as I can,” Lester says with a laugh. However, his dedication to the Hereford industry has not gone unnoticed. Lester was named to the Minnesota Livestock Hall of Fame in 1996 and the Minnesota Hereford Breeders Hall of Fame in 2000. In addition to these honors, in 2017 he was named to the American Hereford Association Hall of Fame and was recognized as an AHA Century Breeder. Lester is an excellent example of an individual with valor and integrity. As Lester reminds us to never forget, may we honor his service to our country and his dedication to the Hereford breed.
some of them, talking about it would bring back memories they wouldn’t want to have. It makes a person wonder how any human can do the things the Nazis did.” Lester says the effects still remain with him today, as well. For example, pictures taken in concentration camps are more than he can handle. “There are pictures of human bodies stacked up like wood,” he says. “The inhumanity of some former Nazi leaders is hard to comprehend.” It is important for the youth of today to understand history, so it will not be repeated in the future, Lester says. “Not all youth understand what our country stands for now,” he says. “Our history hasn’t always been as it should have been. And things haven’t always been as good as they should have been. They probably still aren’t. “The biggest problem in the world is greed,” he continues. “Most wars are started by people being greedy. This goes back to the days of the Bible. Most incidents that took place were begun by greed.” Regardless of the lingering effects some 75 years later, Lester is proud to have served his country, and his service has benefited his life in many ways. “We complained a little about having to be away from home,” he says. “But when all was said and done, it was an interesting learning experience. I don’t regret at all having served and done what the Army asked me to do.”

The Oleen family has a history rich in Hereford cattle and military service. Both sectors go hand-in-hand when it comes to learning how to adapt, overcome and make a decision.
Faith and fortitude Chuck’s father, Carroll, raised Hereford cattle after returning from World War II. Carroll’s father, Hjalmer, known to all as H.E., purchased three granddaughters of Prince Domino in 1936 that became the foundation for the herd. Chuck and his brother, Glenn, began Oleen Cattle Co. in 1977 with cows purchased from the Kramer Hereford herd Glenn had managed for six years in Hugoton, Kan. Chuck’s son, Brandon, followed a path similar to his dad’s, eventually returning to the operation in 2014.
The Oleens, (l to r) Brandon, Chuck, and Glenn hold dear their Hereford cattle and their heritage, rich with military service and Swedish tradition.

The ranch near Falun, Kan., is in prime summer grazing country and also boasts ample hay fields to be baled and used to feed cattle throughout the winter.
When Chuck became a Marine in 1970, he was stationed in Kansas City, Mo., working in a federal office building not far from the ranch in Falun. Though the farm was 20 miles outside the radius he was allowed to travel on weekends, an understanding officer in charge allowed him to go home periodically to work. Despite Kansas City being closer to the ranch than many assignments, it was still a big change from home, and he was glad to be able to return to help his family. By that time, Chuck says, the U.S. had begun pulling Marines out of Vietnam, and his specialty allowed him to remain stateside, even though he had expected to be deployed overseas initially. “Anybody from anywhere can have a work ethic,” he says. “Being used to work and working until you’re done served me well.” While he served in the Marine Corps from 1970 to 1973, he took night classes at the nearby community college and then earned his animal science degree from Kansas State University (K-State) in three years. When he arrived at K-State, he was anxious to return to the ranch, made even more so by being a nontraditional student enrolling at an older age and with years of service to his country- than his peers. Returning and shouldering debt just prior to the price crash of the 1980s tested the brothers’ flexibility and fortitude. “Strategic planning is fine but when you don’t know what cattle prices and land values are going to do and what resources are going to be available to you, you have to be pretty flexible, I’d have to say,” Chuck says. Be it in the saddle or in the Marine Corps, Chuck says the ability to finish a job, demonstrate work ethic and the ability to remain flexible are all the qualities that remain at the foundation for success. When, Brandon, Chuck’s son, transferred to the 4th Marine Battalion Combat Service Support Hereford.org
after his initial 14 months on active duty, the tension in Iraq was quickly mounting. Though he prepared for overseas deployment, he also stayed stateside. After his time in uniform, Brandon also studied at K-State and graduated in 2007. Brandon was advised by a fellow Hereford breeder that he should work away from home after college long enough to allow his family to miss him and to value his opinion.

Brandon (l)– and Chuck Oleen both served stateside in the Marine corps. Chuck served during the Vietnam era and Brandon during a time during which tensions in Iraq were mounting. The ranch-borne work ethic both took to the Corps served them well.

The greatest compliment I could offer is to continue the legacy Dad and Glenn have built. — Brandon Oleen
He then worked for a seedstock and backgrounding operation in Leavenworth, Kan. While there, he learned about imported cattle from Mexico and how many are raised by ranch families much like those in the states. The cattle he backgrounded there were domestically owned and all branded with the “M” brand and a number denoting the specific area for traceability. They were summered, fed and eventually harvested in Kansas. Learning to manage high-risk stocker calves, paired with a wider view of a segment of the industry many cow-calf producers are less familiar with, offered Brandon experiences and connections he draws upon even now. The stocker calves summered on ranches in Kansas can be rather high-risk, he says, requiring attention to detail and consistent monitoring. With this experience managing stocker calves, he returned to the K-State Stocker Unit, eventually managing the facility for four years before returning to the ranch.
Improvise, adapt and overcome “Returning to the ranch was always the plan,” Brandon says. “It took longer to get home than I thought it would when I was 18.” Chuck says he and Glenn are not as fast as they once were and welcome the help. Brandon led the charge on some capital improvements like some pipe fence and a new processing barn — investments that were not taken lightly on an operation that weathered tough years and operates conservatively when it comes to finances. “We have our ups and downs, but they do value my opinion more,” Brandon chuckles. “I don’t think they miss that old chute anymore.” Little did Chuck and Glenn know when they partnered in 1977 what the 1980s would have in store for cattle producers. He said the pair purchased cattle initially and paid 8% interest. In two years, they were paying 18% interest, a number that is still hard to swallow. “You get pretty conservative after that and it’s worked out for us,” he says. “Maybe we’re not

giving [Brandon] enough rein here, he’d probably do some things differently than we are, but we’ve learned a few things along the way we would just as soon not let him learn the hard way.” Brandon recognizes hard times come and go, especially in the cattle business. He has seen this firsthand, and he knows his family’s legacy is not to be taken lightly. “The greatest compliment I could offer is to continue the legacy Dad and Glenn have built,” Brandon says. “They weathered storms that made it possible for me to return to the ranch and not have some of the worries and struggles they did, and I’m grateful for that.” Chuck admits he misses the days of negotiated cash-trade cattle leaving the feedyard to eventually yield a more moderately sized beef carcass, but, for the most part, the cattle being raised have not departed too much from the good, solid working cattle the family began with years ago. Their selection hinges on females, especially ones with high quality udders, according to Chuck. With time a major investment and consideration when selecting bulls, they focus on cows and are conscious of keeping a balanced set of expected progeny differences. They also strive to produce high-performing cattle that are sound structured, easy calving and exhibit good carcass traits. Chuck says they were lucky enough to sell calves this year in January prior to the price drop due to COVID-19, and they are readying about 50 yearling bulls and 100 yearling heifers heading to grass. The bulls they market are all sold private treaty, mostly to producers planning to make baldfaced calves. When they began, they sold bulls geared toward Hereford cows, but that approach has shifted through the years as Hereford bulls have become more popular. Raising private treaty bulls can be a wildcard challenge, attempting to predict demand. This year, the Oleens calved about 100 first-calf heifers, including a number of F1 calves for replacement females. Uncertainty has reigned in recent months, prompting the heifers to be sold at auction rather than private treaty, but the gamble paid off with their females topping the market that day. It is that flexibility and willingness to pivot, Brandon says, that they agree has allowed them to be successful in their respective posts. At the end of the day, self-sufficiency works, no matter the mission, Brandon says. He adds the ability to make a decision and pay attention to detail have been key both on the ranch and in the Corps. The dignity of hard work and appreciation of a job well done traverse all of his experiences and are at the foundation of who he is and where he calls home.

Military Roots & Ranching Boots
Beacon Hill Ranch has been built on the drive to remain true to one’s roots — Hereford cattle and military service. by Brooke Taylor
B
What came first, ranching heritage or military service? For Erica and Roxane, there is no punchline to this spin on a classic chicken-and-egg schoolyard inquiry. The truth is cattle and service are both equal parts of their family DNA. “My earliest memory is my dad walking through the backdoor in his uniform and black, shiny boots,” Erica shares of living on post at 4 years old. “The

eacon Hill Ranch, Langley, Okla., has been passed down from one generation to the next since 1909. Though the names have changed through the years from John and Gertrude Millikan to Floyd and Wilma Sloan to Richard and Susan Gebhart and, now, to sisters Erica (Matt) Boyer and Roxane (Eric) Mock, there are two constants that have remained.
Sisters Erica and Roxane uphold the U.S. Air Force mentality of pursuing tasks — either in the air or on the ranch — with excellence and integrity.

vivid memories of facing east toward the flag at 4:30 p.m. and placing your hand above your heart while listening to Taps are ingrained in me forever.”
Military roots
Growing up in a military family is a lot like growing up in a ranching family — it’s part of your identity. Military service is just who we are as a family.
Erica was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in the same U.S. Army hospital where her late father, a retired U.S. Army colonel, was born. After 14 years of active service, Erica and Roxane’s father, Richard Gebhart, transitioned from active duty to the reserves, where he served an additional 13 years. These years allowed the Gebhart family to transition seamlessly from army boots to ranch boots as they focused on their purebred Hereford cattle. “Most people in the military don’t ever realize we’re sisters,” says Roxane, who joined the same squadron as her sister. “We grew up working long hours, sometimes not doing the most fun chores, and it easily transitioned into a solid working professional relationship.” Erica and Roxane mentioned that many recruiters say it is easy to recruit kids from rural America because they already understand the Air Force core values of “integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do.” Following in the footsteps of her father and grandfather, who was also a U.S. Army colonel, Erica enlisted in the Air National Guard at 17 — a decision which required special permission from her parents. During the first 18 years of her now 22 years of service, Erica served the 138th Fighter Wing as force support as a traditional guardsman — one weekend a month, two weeks a year — while working full-time as a surgical nurse. “Our unit does the pot of stuff no one else wants to do. From food service to mortuary and from human resources to setting up a ‘tent city,’ we do all the behind-the-scenes work to get people and multimillion-dollar planes around the world,” Erica says. She now serves as a full-time guardsman. Roxane, who was born in Colorado Springs, where her parents were then stationed, joined the Air National Guard after her first semester at Oklahoma State University, where she obtained a bachelor of science in animal science with an emphasis in agricultural economics. “My college was paid for primarily through livestock scholarships, but I joined because I wanted to join,” Roxane says. “Growing up in a military family is a lot like growing up in a ranching family — it’s part of your identity. Military service is just who we are as a family.” Together, the Gebhart sisters have deployments to Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, West Virginia, Hereford.org
— Roxane Gebhart Wisconsin and Germany under their belts. Like her sister, Roxane served as a traditional guardsman while pursuing a Juris Doctorate at the University of Tulsa. In 2019, after deploying to Hawaii for six weeks to work as part of a team building a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) center for Girl Scouts, Roxane transitioned from her career as an attorney to a full-time guardsman. “A full-time career with the Air National Guard allows me to focus on my growing family and invest more time with our ranching operation,” Roxane says. In January, Erica welcomed her third child, Perry Elizabeth, a bright surprise after her husband, Matt’s, cancer diagnosis and no-evidenceof-disease victory. Three months later, Roxane welcomed her first child, Harlan Richard, alongside her husband, Ethan. While seven years apart as sisters, the two are honored to raise the next generation of ranchers, and possibly service members, together on the ranch where they fell in love with agriculture. “We assume they’ll join,” Erica shares. “Gus [Erica’s son] wants to be an ‘army man’ like his pepaw, and I’m adjusting my expectations that he’s going to join the Army and not the Air Force.” The Boyer and Mock families set a precedent of lack of pressure or expectation but acknowledge that the rich family ranching heritage and military history make both ranching and service a good fit.

The land and the cattle have been handed down from one generation to the next with each generation refining the herd and adding their own mark.
Hereford herd built on a foundation from the original herd of Erica and Roxane’s maternal great-grandparents. “I married a man who I knew would honor the cattle and honor my grandparents,” shares Susan Gebhart, fourth-generation rancher emeritus. The land and cattle are the common denominator in a collaborative, multi-generational effort and commitment toward sustainability. After Richard’s passing in 2015, the Beacon Hill Ranch family reevaluated ranch goals and established a strategic plan moving forward, which included infrastructure changes, new bulls and jumping into custom beef. This plan began the ranch’s journey of marketing custom-fed, custom-bred, dry-aged beef. With a goal of selling one steer per month and 15 to 20 per year in 2016 outside the established family-and-friends customer base, Beacon Hill focused on slow and steady growth supported by its herd of Hereford cows with split spring- and fall-calving seasons.
Erica and Matt’s children Gus and McKenzie take part in the daily management of the ranch alongside their parents.

The face-to-face interaction with consumers has allowed the operation to share where those individuals’ food is coming from. “Selling direct is a great opportunity to establish rapport with our community. With each new customer comes a new set of questions about ranching practices and understanding of terms,” shares Matt Boyer, rancher, agricultural instructor and FFA advisor. “It’s beef with a side of advocacy.” Rarely do customers inquire about Beacon Hill Ranch beef without making a purchase or joining the waiting list. “We want everyone to have a great beefeating experience,” Erica says. “With direct sales you become acutely aware of the consumer experience because we’re involved every step of the way. Every decision we make is based on the end product.” For ranchers providing direct-to-consumer sales, processor relationships are essential to ensuring the quality of a consumer’s dinner. “We pick up our beef from the same processor as our customers, which means the processor is essentially an extension of our brand.” Erica says. “You eat what our family eats. It’s exactly what I’m feeding to our children.” Although Beacon Hill Ranch will explore options to expand, it will continue to stay a small market. The Boyer and Mock families manage off-ranch careers, are raising five children and maintain high standards for their herd. “We’re not putting our resources — land, water, livestock — under stress in order to expand our operation,” Roxane says. “It’s all about being good stewards of our cattle and land to produce quality beef.” Beacon Hill Ranch is theirs from start-to-finish. Simply, it is not about the size of the operation; it is about the family.
Like many farm and ranch outfits, Beacon Hill Ranch is a collaborative effort. Pictured (l to r) are Ethan and Roxane Mock, Susan Gebhart, McKenzie, Gus, Erica and Matt Boyer. Hereford.org

Service Beyond the Cattle Guard
Hereford breeders Kyle Colyer, Katie Colyer, Ivan Klippenstein and Brett Klippenstein step out to serve their communities. by Kayla Jennings
A

trait of Hereford breeders since the beginning. Today, it is clear producers have taken their desire to help others into the community in the form of service. Whether that be pursuing volunteer opportunities for rural medicine, finding a career as a firefighter or a registered nurse, or even serving their country overseas, Hereford breeders are not scared to get their hands dirty to help those in need. “The main reason I wanted to help out and do it is because, The Bruneau Emergency Center was built in 2014 to offer the community a place to house their number one, they were running EMT service and as a multi-purpose facility for the community. low on personnel, and number two, the community backs everybody 110% and wants the service to be available,” Kyle Colyer says of serving as a volunteer emergency medical technician (EMT). “Everybody is really appreciative of what you do for them and for the community.”
Cattle ranchers turn EMT A rural ranching community in the southwestern part of Idaho boasts one of the few rural communities to offer EMT services to its residents. In addition to the EMT services, Bruneau also has an emergency medical center. Over the last decade, siblings and longtime Bruneau residents and Hereford breeders Kyle and Katie Colyer, along with a group of community members, acted to expand the longstanding EMT service to include more licensed EMTs and a brand-new building. Their mother, Sherry, has been an EMT in the region for 42 years, so with her encouragement, the siblings were certified 11 years ago. At that time there was only a small cinder block building available for EMT training. With 10 others in the same class as Kyle and Katie, the Colyers ended up opening their sale facility to house the training from April to August of 2009. The Colyers knew their EMT program desperately needed a facility to operate out of, so the fundraisers began. Through land gifted from the local church, private donations and support on a variety of fundraising activities, the Bruneau Quick Response Unit (QRU) building finally opened its doors in 2014. “It was all done by private donations and funding just through the community,” Kyle describes. “We had very little grant money, if any. It was all built by donations, pledges and different things.” One of the most successful fundraisers was selling bricks marked with the donor’s name or logo, which were used in building the sidewalk and the outside wall. “There were quite a few Hereford.org
In order to fund building, the EMTs sold bricks to various individuals and business in and around the community. It ended up being their largest fundraiser for the building.
who made a memorial donation and bought a brick and put in memory of a family member,” Katie recalls. “Different companies in the area, or surrounding area, supported the idea, so they bought a brick.” Not only the service but the building has been a tremendous blessing to the region. Kyle notes he and Katie have had the opportunity to save lives through volunteering as EMTs. Their region covers 70 miles, and Bruneau EMTs are on call 24/7, so there is a lot of ground to travel and a lot of work, but to them it is undoubtedly worth the effort. “Patients don’t get a bill through our ambulance or anything,” Katie notes. “All of our supplies, or anything like that we use, we get donations from the community to pay for.” In addition, the building serves as a multipurpose facility for 4-H meetings and other community activities. As Katie says, “The community came together to help raise the money to build it, so it’s something that everybody can utilize this way.” continued on page 84...

GROUND HERO
Helping Hands
Firmly anchored in the background, veterinarian Mike McDonald never tires of serving his community and the breed. by Bruce Derksen
H
eroes do not have to be spandex clad, flashy and outspoken like the movies love to portray them. Not all heroes run into burning buildings with axes, face bad guys with a shield or crawl over foreign hilltops with a machine gun to protect their country. Some heroes stay home and work in the background with their nose to the ground. Instead of capes, they wear lab coats or coveralls accessorized with plastic and latex gloves. They strive to protect and to build up their country and its citizens by almost exclusively devoting their time and energy to helping others be successful. Mike McDonald, DVM, of Lost Creek, W.Va., is such a person. He took over the daily operations
McDonald Polled Herefords celebrated 50 years in 2018 and the family was recognized as Golden Breeders by the American Hereford Association. Pictured (l to r) are: Stephanie Hawkins, Mike McDonald, Kora and Kenzie Hawkins and Becky Cronin.

of McDonald Polled Herefords of Lost Creek in 1988, and the generational farm is now home to 70 purebred cows.
Behind-the-scenes handiwork As we began our conversation about his veterinarian and livestock experiences, I could quickly hear the suspicion flooding through the phone line. “You want to make me a celebrity?” he questions. I envisioned his finger poised over the red button of his cell phone as he awaited my answer. It was obvious, McDonald was not interested in tooting his own horn. Fortunately for me, I caught him at a time when he seemed to have nothing on the calendar, as he was under his own doctor’s orders — stuck at home recovering from a recent hernia surgery. “When we purchased the farm, it was one of the few that had Herefords,” he finally says. “My dad and grandfather decided they liked their docility and easy keeping nature and gradually faded out the commercial herds they had before. We just kind of developed into a purebred Hereford operation.” I took a chance and repeated my earlier question. “If we must talk about this, I like to help the local state breeders get their Hereford cattle marketed with a premium price if I can. We’ve sent a pot load of feeders to the Kentucky Certified Hereford Beef feeder sale for the last few years. This year we got two loads together and sent the second to an Illinois sale.” He described how the breeders work together to background the steers and to have them reach an optimum weight before sending them to the sales. He recounted how he and some of his buddies travel to the Mile High Night Sale in Denver every year and help put the sale ring together. “I was stapling down the carpet on the very first sale ring at the Bank Arena and the auctioneer actually got into the box. They were ready to start, and we Hereford.org
were still putting the ring together,” he says with a laugh. “They only gave us two hours. Nowadays, we have a lot of help come out. That has to be our highlight of the year.” McDonald talked fondly about showing their family’s Hereford cattle with his grandchildren at local and state fairs and the Junior Nationals Hereford Expo (JNHE). “Some of those heifers we raised and some we bought. We’re not a national name by any means, but we’re competitive. We enjoy showing even if we only have three or four females each time.” He related the story of one of their homeraised heifers placing third at the JNHE. “I don’t remember specific highlights, and it doesn’t sound like a big event, but it was for us,” he says. “Those classes are tough. I was standing by the ring watching and thinking, ‘Wow, we’re up to fifth,’ and then we were up to third! The lady behind me commented how nice it was to see someone so excited. It was a big win for us.”
A rewarding practice Besides the polled Hereford farm, McDonald is also the founder and owner of Good Hope Animal Hospital. After completing veterinarian school at “The Ohio State University,” he returned home, purchased the local animal hospital and developed it into the mixed practice it is today. “It’s just me,” he says. “Being able to take care of the local farmers’ animals and help provide veterinary care for their pets is important to me.” From a young age, he wanted to pursue a profession in agriculture. That urge led him to vet school. “I always liked working with cattle and enjoyed helping the veterinarian when he came to our place,” he says. “When I bought this clinic, I expanded it to include large animals. I guess you could call me a dinosaur. I’m a dying breed because we do a little bit of everything.” The soft-spoken veterinarian enjoys attending Nascar races when he is not helping his family, clients, friends or neighbors. “For actual fun, we like to go to at least two races per year. I’m a big Matt Kenseth fan!” he proclaims. But the conversation quickly returned to the reality of helping others, just as I expected it might. While he does not do embryo transfers at his hospital, he enjoys helping the local farmers with theirs. “I think it’s exciting when you can get a good pregnancy rate. There are too many days when you get 20-30%. It’s nice when I can help them get 70 or 80. Those are rewarding days.” He shared a story from his practice of when he found 15 800-pound steers all lying dead under a big tree. “It was a humbling experience,” he says. “Makes you realize how important life really is. You know it can go fast. Time just seems to go faster as Hereford.org
we go along. You grow up There are people in thinking things will slow this world who are down as you get older, but the years seem to take off talkers and there faster and faster now.” The good doctor’s are people who are time, thoughts and doers. Dr. McDonald energies seem to focus on helping his kids is a doer. and extended family — Dr. Lowell Midla whenever he is able. Or his grandchildren with showing the Hereford cattle they raise with care. Or helping other state breeders by arranging cattle liner loads to secure better prices. “It’s nice to see the young folks just starting out and being able to help them,” McDonald says. “It seems like there is going to be fewer of them coming along.”
The ‘pancake maker’ While it is clear McDonald will never speak a boastful word, Nancy and Les Midla of Flat Stone Lick in Marianna, Pa., offer praise to their close friend. “Mike is a very astute professional with really good clinical judgement. He is a darn good vet,” Les says. “We feel we could not have a better or more loyal friend and fellow Hereford breeder,” Nancy says. The couple describes how McDonald works late into the night and early hours of the morning to balance his practice and his own farm. All the while, he puts family first. Every Sunday he can be found making pancakes for his grandchildren before church — a tradition that has earned him the title “pancake maker.” As Nancy points out, even with superheroes, things do not always go as planned. She recounts a time when McDonald was treating a patient’s cow and watched his vet truck go over a hill and into a pond. “He takes every situation in stride and makes it work,” she says. There will be no capes or protective shields for Dr. Mike McDonald. Instead of the limelight, his helping hands are firmly anchored in the shadows of the background. “I’m too old to expand my vet clinic in the future or take on more work or more doctors,” he admits. But he certainly has proved he is not too old to dedicate his time to the betterment of others. “There are people in this world who are talkers and there are people who are doers. Dr. McDonald is a doer,” says friend and colleague Lowell Midla, VMD, MS. “He devotes a great deal of his time, talent, and treasure to improving and promoting the Hereford breed.”

Premium
Possibilities A quarter century of progress paves the way for a superior product. by Amari Seiferman and Kaylen Alexander
O
ver the last several years, there has been an emerging trend with Certified Hereford Beef ® (CHB). The strategic moves to promote brand relevance and growth has provided an opportunity to align the brand with industry partners to create distribution channels that allow branded products to be accessible to

consumers worldwide. This year we celebrate 25 years of providing high-quality products and services to an evolving consumer market. “The success of Certified Hereford Beef can be attributed to the passion, dedication and innovation from Hereford breeders and brand leaders with a desire to leave an impact on the beef market,” says Certified Hereford Beef President and CEO Amari
Hereford.org
Seiferman. “The brand has tremendous growth potential and we will continue to solidify the program foundation for future generations.”
Establishing market relevance The Certified Hereford Beef Premium program was introduced to the market in 2017. The Premium program is an upper two-thirds USDA Choice and higher quality grade product line. The creation of this line catapulted the brand into the industry and allowed CHB to compete with top brands that dominate the current market. The Premium program is currently the fastest growing CHB line with about 10 million pounds being distributed annually. “In order to compete in the marketplace, we needed to provide the quality level the industry is demanding,” Seiferman says. “The creation of this line has allowed CHB to have conversations with key players in the industry. The brand story and services we provide to support business growth have solidified partnerships that will continue to build in strength and develop markets.”
A strong partnership Another aspect of advancing the Certified Hereford Beef brand is the growing partnership with National Beef Packing. Partners since 2003, National Beef Packing is the fourth largest beef packer in the United States, and they are equally invested in the success of the CHB brand. “Growing a branded beef program is not an easy task,” says Cathy Sturm, National Beef Packing marketing manager. “At the very core of growing a branded beef program are two basic requirements: the ability and the commitment to deliver on the promise of the brand. A branded beef program cannot survive with only one of those two — both are required. That speaks a lot to the people who have been involved in the success of the Certified Hereford Beef brand, from the producers all the way through the folks in the packing plants and the salespeople hitting the street.” Sturm explains an increase in quality grade has also led to significant growth with the Certified Hereford Beef brand. “Quality grade has increased significantly in the time since National Beef Packing has been a packer partner of Certified Hereford Beef,” Sturm says. “The increased supply has allowed more consumers to have access to that product, and they have responded by spending their money on quality. The upper two-thirds USDA Choice
Hereford.org
product hits a sweet spot at the intersection of quality and price, and consumers buy the best quality their budget will allow.” Strong investment at the packer level has bolstered the Certified Hereford Beef brand with retail and foodservice distributors. “It is important to be a trusted source for a quality product, not only to promote the Certified Hereford Beef brand, but also to help our customers grow their business,” says Seiferman. “Our alliance with Hereford producers and National Beef Packing allow CHB to provide the resources to do just that — support growth.”
Looking forward What does the future look like for the Certified Hereford Beef brand? Continued growth, innovation and advancement of the brand and the Hereford breed. The opportunity for growth is limitless. “We believe in what the Hereford breed represents across all facets of the industry. We will continue to tell the Hereford story and build on the legacy of tradition and trust and know that with every pound of Certified Hereford Beef sold, we are making a difference,” Seiferman says. Thank you for your support and cheers to the next 25 years!

Demanding
Quality Consumers crave premium beef, while cattlemen happily deliver. by Kaylen Alexander
I
t is no surprise that as cattlemen have worked diligently over the years to improve the quality of their herds, consumers have also adopted a higher-quality standard. Flashy labeling and clever marketing have grabbed their attention, resulting in a demand for superior products that can transform a weeknight dinner or date night into a true dining experience. Whether it is a juicy steak sizzling on the grill or a tender prime rib roasting to perfection, consumer expectations have shifted to demand premium-quality beef.
A recent study* published by the Red Angus Association of America found that Select-grade beef accounted for 40% of beef carcasses harvested in 2006-2007 but has since dwindled and accounted for only 18% of the market in 2018. The study further projects Select-grade beef will make up only 5% of the market by 2025. The authors found three main reasons for the decline in Select-grade beef: It is consistently worth less than Choice beef, consumers find it less appealing and satisfying, and Select beef costs essentially the same to produce as Choice. The study also shows that pull-through demand has increased for Choice, high Choice and Prime beef, which has placed a producer emphasis on raising cattle to meet these standards. Consumers are willing to pay a premium for high-quality beef, and cattlemen and women are delivering through modern technologies and genetic and health advancements that allow them to produce a superior product.
Consumers demand quality While the market continues to phase out Selectgrade products, today’s meat cases and menus cater to the consumer, boasting a robust offering of upper two-thirds Choice and Prime cuts. A recent study conducted by the Beef Checkoff shows that shoppers are better educating themselves on the protein choices available to them, with 72% of consumers aware of United States Department of Agriculture quality grades. Consumer studies from leading meat marketing and research firm Midan Marketing also show shoppers — specifically the millennial generation — are demanding transparency from the products they purchase. “Recent research shows that meat and poultry products that include claims are in higher demand,” says Michael Uetz, principal, Midan Marketing. “Educating consumers on differences in quality grades and providing details regarding claims we make about our beef products will give [consumers]
Select beef becomes a niche Now more than ever, producers are delivering on providing high-quality cattle to the marketplace. On average, 80% of America’s cattle are now grading Choice or Prime.
128

points of differentiation to asses value and assist them in making the right choices for their family.” Midan Marketing Meat Consumer Segmentation research also shows that consumers prefer branded products — like Certified Hereford Beef ® — over commodity offerings. “I believe consumers are showing a higher interest in branded programs because they want to put their trust and loyalty behind someone who is willing to put their name on the package,” Uetz says. “They are looking for a story they can relate to that aligns with their beliefs and values so they feel good about purchasing the product.” Branded beef programs have exploded in popularity in recent years by catering to higher consumer standards, with a vast majority of brands adopting specifications that require a minimum marbling standard of Choice or higher to qualify for their programs.
Certified Hereford Beef delivers With 25 years of excellence behind the Hereford brand, the Certified Hereford Beef Premium program is delivering a high-quality product to satisfy these consumer demands. Created in 2017 to elevate the Certified Hereford Beef brand in a competitive retail and foodservice market, the Premium program’s strict specifications ensure only upper two-thirds Choice and higher carcasses receive the stamp of approval. The Premium program is the fastest growing label under the CHB brand, and since the Premium program’s creation, nearly 10 million pounds of the product have been sold to retail and foodservices outlets. “It’s a competitive marketplace, so a brand really has to stand out to be successful, and the Certified Hereford Beef program does that,” says National Beef Business Manager Wes Steimel.
He attributes the success of the Certified Hereford Beef Premium program to four key assets: quality grade, consistency, differentiation and the support of the American Hereford Association (AHA). “The marbling specifications of the Premium program is what differentiates it from the ‘Classic’ program, which was the Select and higher blended program that was phased out in 2019,” Steimel says. “The Premium program’s higher marbling standard — which guarantees higher quality beef — is what customers latched onto. “Certified Hereford Beef also allows our customers to offer something different in the marketplace, and the consistency and quality of the Premium program keeps the end-user coming back,” Steimel continues. The seal of approval from the Hereford farmers and ranchers of the AHA also provides the program a competitive edge compared to packer and privately labeled brands with similar quality specifications. “There’s tremendous history in the AHA, and their ownership and backing of the brand creates trust with both customers and consumers,” Steimel says. “It provides an excellent story to tell about the Hereford breed and brand, establishes brand loyalty and delivers the transparency consumers crave in today’s market.” According to Steimel, demand for Choice and higher beef programs is strong, and the Certified Hereford Beef Premium program is a key player that will continue to grow in the quality-driven marketplace. “There’s a sweet spot on the price to quality continuum, and the Premium program falls right into it,” Steimel says. “Consumers are getting the best product for their dollar with the Premium program, and that’s a huge factor into the growth we are seeing with the brand.”

From Farm to Fork Hereford producers welcome foodservice sales managers and restaurant chefs for Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) educational field day events. by Grace Vehige
E
very day Hereford producers work to provide a quality product for consumers and do so without question. As representatives of the Certified Hereford Beef brand and the breed, Hereford producers are ready and willing to seize opportunities to forge a connection between consumers and producers. Over the past few years, Certified Hereford Beef has encouraged different producers across the U.S. to host wholesalers and other industry professionals at their ranches. These field days are pivotal in educating wholesalers and consumers on the farm-to-plate process. “Hereford field days provide a valuable educational tool to our industry partners and allow them to connect the breed to the brand,” says Amari Seiferman, CHB president and CEO. “We are grateful for our producers who take the time out of their busy lives to educate them on the time, care and integrity commitments behind the breed.” In the following pages, join in on the various CHB field days to see how fellow Hereford breeders are “ag”vocating the breed and the beef industry.
Worrell Enterprises LLC and salespeople enjoyed a ribeye lunch as one of the day’s highlights. During the tour, the attendees were able to see pastured cows, as well as penned feeder calves. One of the most important principles of the day was to draw connections between what a Hereford family looks like and what a cow family looks like. Shannon says the attendees were impressed by how the Worrells knew as much about their cow families as their own family. The field day provided an opportunity for handson education. In fact, a US Foods® sales representative used some of the time on the ranch to teach his colleagues where cuts of beef are located on a live animal, Shannon says. This simple effort highlights the need for ranchers to embrace hands-on learning and to help educate others on where their beef comes from. For those looking to host a CHB field day in the future, Shannon provides the following advice: “Don’t be intimidated by it. The more people we can get out to see how we do things, the better. This is what we do. This is why we do it.” Representatives from US Foods® gather with the Worrell family as cattle graze behind them. Located in Mason, Texas, the Worrells are fifth-generation Hereford breeders. Worrell Enterprises is owned and operated by James, Shannon and Jarrett Worrell. When their family received a call to host industry members at their ranch, they jumped on the opportunity. “Ranchers love to work with Certified Hereford Beef because it’s the end-product,” Shannon says. “It’s what we work for, so anytime we can help represent the brand, we will do what we can.” For the Worrell’s field day, a handful of wholesalers from US Foods® and restauranteurs were welcomed at the ranch. Together, the Worrells, buyers, pit masters

White Hawk Ranch The Hereford breed has been the center of business for the Hedrick family since 1926. Despite a pause in their ranch operations in the ’90s and early 2000s, Gary Hedrick worked to build back a registered herd with depth. When the operation started back up in 2008, Gary focused production on improving carcass data and expected progeny differences (EPDs). “I thought about how we produce cattle and started from the plate backwards,” Gary describes. “We raise these cattle to put quality beef on the consumer’s plate.” During White Hawk Ranch’s field day, Gary welcomed salespeople from US Foods® with Certified Hereford Beef burgers for lunch and then a tour following. Gary had herd bulls, cows with calves and numerous other aspects of the Hedrick’s operation on display in order to show the field day guests the process of growth in cattle from birth to the packing house. The tour included visiting pastures to explain White Hawk Ranch’s intensive grazing system, as well as an

opportunity to explain the feed products the ranch uses. Field day attendees were taught how beef cattle take lesser quality feedstuffs and transform them into a highquality beef product for human consumption. “Beef cattle are a necessity to optimize the value of land that can’t be used for crop ground. They are economical and play a role in the food chain,” Gary told his visitors. White Hawk Ranch enjoyed hosting this CHB field day because the Hedricks were able to show the men and women who sell Certified Hereford Beef products how passionate and dedicated ranchers are in providing humane treatment to animals and quality food for consumers.
Doss Hereford Farms Located in Smithville, Mo., Gary and Debbie Doss operate Doss Hereford Farms. For the Doss family, raising Hereford cattle and has been their passion for years. Gary says when
the American Hereford Association launched the Certified Hereford Beef brand 25 years ago, he challenged the brand to be the best representation of the Hereford breed. The Doss family has always believed in delivering a quality product for consumers. When the time came to host a CHB field day, Doss Hereford Farms was a great option to showcase a Certified Hereford Beef family. “We do this because we love meeting new people, and Certified Hereford Beef can bring people to our farm as we are not too far from the airport nor the American Hereford Association,” Gary says. The Doss family loves raising Hereford cattle and having an opportunity to showcase them. With the Doss children grown, spending time with the cattle is what Gary and Debbie enjoy most.
Field day attendees interact with cattle at Doss Hereford Farms.
Falling Timber Farm At a foodservice distributor tradeshow, John and Heidi Ridder were welcomed to take part in the Certified Hereford Beef booth, which was in place to showcase Certified Hereford Beef products to restauranteurs. While at the tradeshow, John and Heidi talked to individuals from the other side of the business: restaurant owners and distributors’ salespeople. These individuals were then able to identify the origin of the product they sell, which helped deliver a more meaningful sales presentation. “We were able to connect to the people who are out representing the CHB brand. I would recommend this experience to anyone,” John says.
The tradeshow offered the Ridders a chance to represent the Certified Hereford Beef brand off the farm by sharing stories with salespeople about their day-to-day John and Heidi Ridder work in production on the farm. share their knowledge John and Heidi operate Falling of the beef industry with foodservice professionals.

The Hugs welcomed representatives from Kohl Wholesale® of Quincy, Ill., as well as other Certified Hereford Beef representatives. The day’s events provided a great opportunity for the businesses who market Certified Hereford Beef to visit a ranch and to see one of the many sources of cattle that enter the Certified Hereford Beef program. Wholesalers were able to gain a deeper understanding

of the Certified Hereford Beef brand and how its beef is a quality, competitive product by attending a herd tour with the Hug family. Through a local locker plant, the Hugs have realized a new market for some of their steers by selling beef directly to a rapidly growing customer base. The Hugs recognize the curiosity of consumers wanting to know the source of the beef on their plate. 2018 was a great year to celebrate the Hug family and Hereford cattle alike. For the Hugs, hosting a CHB field day was a way to commemorate their dedication to the breed. George Hug was the family’s first descendant to immigrate from Germany to the U.S. in 1854. He eventually purchased land in Kansas and established a cattle and farming operation in 1864. However, it wasn’t until 1896 that the Hugs first introduced registered Hereford cattle into their family operation, but that purchase coined their ranch name. They have been Frank Hug & Sons ever since and have continued raising Hereford cattle throughout the years. The operation has remained a family business over the course of five generations and is currently co-owned by Bob and Tisha Hug and Ed and Gretta Hug. For over 100 of their 124 years in business, Hereford cattle were the only breed to graze the Hugs’ pastures.

The Schumann family believes in providing an opportunity for foodservice professionals to piece together the factors outside boxed beef. The goal of each ranch tour is to get the attendees to understand a bit more about the production that goes into qualifying for the Certified Hereford Beef program. Bryce and his family take their guests to see cattle in the pasture, which is their chosen location to answer questions about the beef industry. Attendees gather to ask questions and learn more about the production sector of the beef industry.

Deer Track Farms Bob Schaffer, born and raised in the Washington, D.C., area, has a unique upbringing in the Hereford cattle business. Bob grew up without any connection to the agricultural industry, but he developed a passion for cattle and has spent his life making a dream a reality. His current program is Deer Track Farms, which is operated out of Spotsylvania, Va. Bob got into the cattle business in 1993,

and he believes in the mission to educate consumers and to provide them with quality food. “Everyone thinks their beef comes from the grocery store. … People need to be informed where their food comes from and what goes into getting it from the farm to the plate,” Bob says. Prior to hosting a field day, Deer Track Farms helped promote the Certified Hereford Beef brand at an event, and, soon after, Bob received a call to showcase his operation. During the ranch tour, sales representatives were able to see the whole operation from cattle to handling facilities. The field day attendees were given the opportunity to ask questions and to learn as they participated in the tour. Throughout the ranch tour, Bob spent time explaining the process of growth in cattle. He says he recognizes the negative press livestock producers receive because of how people think animals are treated and that issue is the reason why he showed the salespeople at his farm that the cows live better than he does. “Today, the only task at hand is to enjoy the farm and raise the best Hereford cattle we can,” Bob says.
Fowken Farms Norris Fowler and his family have been in the Hereford business since 1946, with Norris’ father starting the business shortly after his service in World War II. Fowken Farms is located in Jonesville, S.C., and acts as both a proud representative of Certified Hereford Beef and a producer of the Hereford breed. “It’s important to be able to merchandise and sell our product — there’s competition out there,” Norris says. “The wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the most grease. Producers will listen to the consumers’ demand.” When beginning the planning process of hosting the CHB field day, Fowken Farms wanted to enhance the knowledge of the individual who serves or sells the final product. By speaking with a chef, Norris says they were able to identify what the producer could do to help sell more Certified Hereford Beef. Fowken Farms analyzed their production data and created a program to show field day attendees a complete farm-to-plate process that could be used as a sales tool. Of all the highlighted points of the field day, Norris says he hoped attendees were able to recognize the

humane way the cattle are treated and, in doing so, be able to describe the supreme way of producing a Certified Hereford Beef final product. For producers looking to host a field day in the future, Norris recommends taking time to methodically plan the day’s events and to have an end goal identified. “We believe in the commodity and we believe in what we produce,” Norris says. “We want to find an outlet. Anything we can do to enhance CHB, we will do. We believe our product is superior to other types of beef.”
Get involved The Certified Hereford Beef brand is built on the tradition of family farmers and ranchers across the United States. Since the brand’s origin in 1995, Hereford producers have not wavered from their dedication to raising highquality cattle and superior beef. The field days are a testament to that dedication and these end goals. Each field day works to bridge the gap between producers and consumers, as well as to further the mission of the Certified Hereford Beef brand. Contact Certified Hereford Beef staff at info@herefordbeef.org with any questions or to request information on how to get involved with Certified Hereford Beef.

Hereford Mom Diaries
| by Christy Couch Lee
The Best Days of Our Lives? No, Not Really.
SHELTER IN PLACE As I write this column, we are on day 65 of sheltering in place in Illinois. I am watching friends in other states across the country slowly opening up — going back to church, eating out in restaurants, even making plans for cattle shows to resume. It’s incredible. Truly, I’m happy for you all. And, truly, I’m ready to move. Here in Illinois, well, we’re on the slow track. The very, very slow track.
Of a five-phase plan, we’re on phase two. Maybe by the beginning of June, we will be able to get a haircut again. Maybe by the time this magazine prints, we’ll be able to eat in a restaurant again. But, our governor says we could easily move backward in our state’s fivephase plan, rather than forward. State fair? Don’t get your hopes up. While I write this, we are waiting, as patiently as we can, for the announcement that our state Hereford preview show and the Junior National Hereford Expo are truly going to happen. We’ve made our entries and are working our cattle every day, being optimistic. And we know that those in charge of these shows are doing everything in their power to fight for our youth — to ensure these hardworking kids

have their chance in the ring. My husband, Craig, and I know these folks want nothing more than for the shows to go on. We’ve had many conversations with our kids about that fact. If it were up to the national and state boards? No question. The shows will happen. But there’s a lot more to it than just what our boards want. There’s more to it than what we want. And, sometimes, that’s tough for a young person to understand. Honestly, it’s a tough pill for the adults to swallow, too.
But, it’s the reality of the times we’re in. Our TVs and social media news feeds are filled with what should be inspirational sayings that have become truly cliché. “These are unprecedented times.” “We’re all in this together.” If you’re like me, those sayings are like nails on a chalkboard. And then, a Facebook contact made this post the other day: “If you don’t look back on these days as some of the best days of your life, then that’s on you.” Oh, how that misses the mark for so many. Yes, we absolutely can choose our attitude during these times. We can choose to make the best of a bad situation. But let’s be honest. If these aren’t the best days of your life, that’s OK.
These days are hard — downright hard — for many of us. We’ve been forced into becoming our children’s second teachers overnight — without training and without necessarily wanting to do it. The biggest arguments and frustrations in our home during the past 65 days have come from mom and dad trying to get children to do their work. For most of us, this is not easy or fun. We are surviving.
In the meantime, many of us are also trying to work our full-time jobs right in the middle of the “classroom” while also being “teachers.” So much for regular office hours. It’s now squeezing in work whenever there’s a moment of quiet for many of us. And don’t forget the bribing and threatening children to stay quiet when regularly scheduled Zoom meetings and calls occur. Then, there’s the stress of so much “togetherness.” Yes, I love my people. More than anything on the earth. But 65 days with nothing but our little family of five — in our 1,800 squarefoot house? Well, that’s been a little too much togetherness. My husband typically travels for his job, and we have all gotten used to him being away for periods of time. And we’re used to running to numerous activities for the kids, especially during the month of May with all that the “end of the school year” brings. That routine was brought to a halt overnight. Thank heavens, truly, for living in the country. And thank heavens for our cattle to keep the kids busy and occupied during this time at home. As I wrote in my last column, we can choose our attitudes. We can choose to find the good. We can teach our children how to react to adversity in times like this. I still truly believe that, with all that I have. But these times don’t have to be the best days of our lives. They really don’t. We can try to make the best of the situation. We can wait (as patiently as we can) for life to slowly return to a more-normal pace. But we don’t have to love it. If all we’re doing right now is surviving? Well, that’s good enough.

Succession Planning
| by Sarah Beth Aubrey
Strategic Thinking for Rethinking Selling Strategy This Fall While we’re still reeling from the effects of the coronavirus on our businesses and economy, we in production agriculture know there is no time to put life on the farm or ranch on hold. Just like at our farm, I’m sure your spring calves are starting to shed that baby hair on these warm summer days. Even though they may still be on the cow, it won’t be long before you’re hoping to market them with fall sales. Worried about how the marketplace is shaking out right now? Maybe you’re already rethinking your marketing strategy in order to reach your customer base differently. Here’s an idea: before you get cattle pictured and cataloged and have the images posted online, I encourage you to relook at strategy before you revise the marketing. An emphasis on strategic thinking now will pay big dividends in what could be a difficult fall selling season. You may need a new game plan.
Strategic strategy The original idea of strategy had nothing to do with business, binders or executives. Rather, its roots are ancient and militarily founded. Great military minds collect intelligence and use that data to make decisions about how to deploy resources. It’s easy to see how that definition translates to business. Strategy is about making advance decisions about how to deploy essential resources. Sound like something you should be doing right now? I bet it does.
Whether on the farm or in the corporate board room, I have found a large majority of thinking in agriculture exists more in the executing (doing) realm and less in the strategic (planning) domain. Experience demonstrates even the most highly successful businesses of today are still more accustomed to executing what they already know how to do rather than pausing to consider and then implement a strategy that ensures the operation’s future growth and success. Even as we’ve continued to operate our farms and ranches much like before, have you examined how your customer is different? Have you considered how customers have been impacted by 2020? Do you know if your customers of 2019 are even planning to buy in 2020? If you’re not certain about answers to the above, taking time at your desk this summer to realign your strategic approach for fall may be time well spent. But, if you haven’t done a strategic planning exercise in a while, here is a simple resource to get you started. First, consider these questions. They are basic enough, yes, but if your answers to some of these are different from what they were before March of this year, it’s time to rebuild your strategy. Elements of strategy • What is our organization’s vision and the theory on which we operate? • What do we do? Or, what part of this market do we want to be in to deliver on what we do? • How has the market we want to be in changed during this year? • What actions, adaptations and selling models can we modify or create to be successful at reaching our customer differently, if we need to? • What are our goals and how have those changed from earlier this year? Can we still meet those goals, or do we set new targets? During this time, realize that change is constant and a crisis can occur at any time. In agriculture, we’re actually pretty adept at pivoting to handle daily mini crises anyway. Still, now may be a good time to reconnect with your operation’s purpose and to really analyze what you can affect and what you cannot or what you’re really good at and what you need to improve to meet shifting demand. The infographic included to the left is a short exercise you can do to improve strategic thinking. I hope you will give it a try and build a solid plan for a successful fall.

Registry type
Performance registry:
Performance breeders participate in the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) system and are required to maintain a female inventory, report calving ease and weaning information annually on the produce of every female in the inventory. EPDs are printed on the registration certificate.
To learn more about becoming a performance breeder and the ability to register calves with EPDs, go to Hereford.org/TPR or contact AHA Customer Service.
Electronic:
The AHA has a real-time online registration system called MyHerd.org. Members may sign up for a free online account and register their calves electronically. Electronic registrations receive a discount and registered information is made available in real time.

4 / 2020 Hereford Handbook
The basic concept of beef cattle performance records is to measure genetic differences between animals for traits of economic importance. The American Hereford Association (AHA) recognizes the importance of performance records in today’s beef industry and through Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™), can provide a system flexible enough to meet the needs of the most sophisticated recordkeeping breeder or those who desire to keep only the basics. Within herd and contemporary group records generated through Whole Herd TPR are measures for calving intervals, birth weights, weaning weights, yearling weights, scrotal circumference, hip height/frame measures and ratios for most of these measures. Good within-herd records include information obtained at birth, weaning, yearling and ultrasound carcass data. These within-herd and contemporarygroup records are adjusted for known environmental sources of variation in animal performance such as age of dam, age of calf, etc. Competition for commercial industry purchasing power between and within breeds is keen, and those breeders who document their seedstock’s performance for the commercial man’s investment have a distinct advantage in today’s beef
industry as it moves toward “specification production” from conception to slaughter. Whole Herd TPR is a system of registration and performance tracking whereby every participating breeder updates his/her cow herd inventory annually and is charged for performance data on a per cow basis as opposed to a per calf basis. The system is positively endorsed by the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF), a North American umbrella organization of beef breed associations, beef producers, researchers and the academic community. With this system, the AHA measures economically relevant beef production traits such as fertility, longevity and reproductive efficiency. Furthermore, the greater volume of data reported from each herd for measured growth and carcass traits enhances the accuracy of Hereford expected progeny differences (EPDs). Participation in Whole Herd TPR is voluntary and breeders may choose to maintain pedigree records without recording performance information, so EPDs or other performance information is not printed on their registry certificates. Call the AHA to get your herd enrolled in the performance registry program, to get set up with MyHerd.org or if you are currently enrolled and have questions.
Whole Herd TPR steps: Step 1
Show an accurate inventory record of each female in your herd that is expected to calve in your selected season.
Step 2
As calving is completed, breeders are required to return to the AHA a Birth Information Worksheet (Form 1) with the birth information for every female enrolled in that season, including data on any that failed to calve, lost a calf, etc.
Step 3
Member submits completed Birth Report/Weaning Worksheet (Form 2) reporting weaning weight information or a disposal code for animals not weighed.
Step 4
The AHA invoices the breeder for his inventory costs in accordance with the number and kind of animals reported.
When the breeder returns Form 3 to the AHA, a yearling report (Form 4) and a calf crop EPD summary (Form 5) is provided.
Following data submission, the AHA provides a Dam Production Summary Report for each enrolled female.
The AHA returns Birth Information Worksheets (Form 1) to the breeder.
The AHA returns the Birth Report/Weaning Worksheet (Form 2) to the breeder.
The AHA returns the Weaning Report/ Yearling Worksheet (Form 3) to the breeder.
Note: Yearling information is not mandatory.
If ultrasound carcass data is collected, technician submits carcass data directly to an AHA-approved ultrasound lab that will process the data and forward results to the AHA for database inclusion.
Gold TPR Breeders
The Gold TPR Breeder recognition is presented to progressive Hereford breeders who have measured traits and collected and promptly submitted performance data at all levels of production. Breeders must meet a specific set of requirements in order to be eligible for the program. • Herd inventory submitted prior to inventory surcharge deadline. • Complete reporting of calving ease and reproductive status for each dam on inventory. • Complete reporting of birth, weaning and yearling weights for all live calves recorded in the calf crop. • Complete reporting of scrotal measurements for each bull calf with a recorded yearling weight. • Ultrasound data reported on 25% or more of the calf crop.
Platinum TPR Breeders
The Platinum TPR Breeder is the highest level of achievement when it comes to complete calf crop reporting. Breeders must meet all the requirements of Gold TPR Breeder status, plus they must also genotype 85% of the calves with a weaning weight submitted. The time requirement to do this will fall under the same two-year compliancy rule. The results of the genotype will need to be completed by Jan. 1 of the recognition year. As a result, the first award winners of this prestigious and progressive award will be recognized in the spring of 2020 and will be based on the 2018 calf crop.
More frequent genetic evaluations
In December 2017, the AHA implemented several updates to its genetic evaluation that include the implementation of a Single Step model for better incorporation of genomics, the ability to calculate, not estimate, EPD accuracies and allowing only animals to enter the evaluation that are born after the advent of Whole Herd TPR but also include three generations of pedigree. Along with this, key economically relevant traits (ERTs) as well as updated economic parameters are included in the three revised selection indexes. The updates of all of these techniques have allowed the AHA to offer a very reliable and comprehensive genetic evaluation that embraces the most up-to-date technology.
Just as important, the AHA’s genetic evaluation runs weekly and releases evalutations each Monday morning. To be included in the Monday update, data must be submitted by midnight two Saturdays prior. For example, for data to be reflected in the EPD release that will occur on Aug. 12, 2020, data will
need to be summited by Aug. 3, 2020, at midnight. Planning ahead is crucial to be sure all phenotypic data (weights and ultrasound information) as well as genotypes are submitted well in advance to ensure appropriate data is reflected in the EPD.
Sharpen up on traits Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF) – The AHA’s new Sustained Cow Fertility EPD is a prediction of a cow’s ability to continue to calve from 3 years of age through 12 years of age, given she calved as a 2-year-old. The EPD is expressed as a deviation in the proportion of the 10 possible calvings to 12 years old expressed as a probability. For example, the daughters of a bull with a 30 EPD would have the genetic potential to have one more calf by age 12 than the daughters from a bull with a 20 EPD. In other words, the daughters from the 30 EPD bull would have a 10% greater probability of having one more calf than daugters of the bull with a 20 EPD. This is equivalent to saying that the daughters are 10% more likely to remain in the herd to age 12. Dry Matter Intake (DMI) – The Dry Matter Intake EPD predicts the daily consumption of pounds of feed. For example, if sire A has a DM EPD of 1.1 and sire B has a DMI EPD of 0.1, you would expect sire B’s progeny, if comparably mated, to consume on average 1 pound of feed less per day. Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) – The Baldy Maternal Index is a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Hereford x Angus cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed toward Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB). This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Cow Weight and Milk, which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do no increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on Dry Matter Intake by a positive weighting on Carcass Weight, which is anticipated to provide profitability from finishing of nonreplacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Ribeye Area are also positively weighted to keep the harvested progeny successful for CHB. This index is geared to identify Hereford bulls that will be profitable when used in a rotational cross with mature commercial Angus cows. Brahman Influence Index (BII$) – The Brahman Influence Index is a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Brahman x Hereford cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed toward a commodity beef market since CHB does not accept Brahmaninfluenced cattle. This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Cow Weight and Milk, which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on Dry Matter Intake but a positive weighting on Carcass Weight, which is anticipated to provide a profitability in finishing nonreplacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Ribeye Area are also positively weighted to keep harvested progeny successful for a variety of commodity-based programs. This index targets producers that use Hereford bulls on Brahman-influenced cows. Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) – The Certified Hereford Beef Index is a terminal sire index that is built on a production system where Hereford bulls are mated to mature commercial Angus cows and all progeny will be targeted for CHB after the finishing phase. This index has significant weight on Carcass Weight to ensure profit on the rail. As well there is a positive weighting for Average Daily Gain along with a negative weighting on Dry Matter Intake to ensure efficient pounds of growth in the finishing phase. Keep in mind, this production system takes advantage of complementary breeding with the commercial Angus cow. Although Marbling is weighted positively in this index, a positive weighting for Ribeye Area and a negative weighting for Back Fat are a greater priority in this index to allow for optimum end-product merit. This is the only index that has no emphasis on fertility. Remember that no replacement heifers are being retained. For additional trait information, visit the Genetics section of Hereford.org.

The Hereford Advantage, Premium Red Baldy and Maternal Advantage programs are resources developed to assist commercial cattlemen with incorporating Hereford genetics into their programs more successfully and adding value to their operations. For more information regarding any commercial programs, contact Trey Befort, AHA director of commercial programs, at tbefort@herefordbeef.org.
Hereford Advantage Program
Designed to identify superior Hereford-influenced feeder cattle, the Hereford Advantage program includes components geared to add value to feeder cattle, including genetic merit, health and management practice verification. Components of the program are backed by documented market price advantages, giving producers a great opportunity to improve value. This tagging program is offered in conjunction with IMI Global, an industry-leading source for thirdparty verification of food production practices in North America. Requirements include: • Source and age (required IMI base verification) • Genetic merit › Minimum of 50% Hereford genetics › Bull battery ranking in top 50% of breed for Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$)* profit index (bull battery average) › Bull ownership transferred (all bulls) • Vaccination program — two rounds of preweaning vaccinations (minimum) • BQA certification To enroll in the program, visit HerefordAdvantage.com to download and
complete the enrollment form and submit it to IMI Global. Program cost is $3 per head (no minimum enrollment required), which includes verification and program electronic identification tag costs. During the enrollment process, an expected progeny difference and profit index summary for the submitted bull battery will be developed and provided to producers, allowing them to track genetic merit for future selection decisions. Participating producers will also receive additional marketing support and exposure through this program. Qualifying cattle will be listed on the AHA’s “Feeder Cattle Listings” page, HerefordMarketplace.com, and cattle information will be communicated to a growing list of interested feeder cattle buyers. The CHB$ is a terminal sire index that is built on a production system where Hereford bulls are used on British-cross cows with a focus on gain and end-product merit.
*
Premium Red Baldy Program
Premium Red Baldy is a tagging program designed to take advantage of hybrid vigor by maximizing the best traits of both Hereford and Red Angus breeds and providing commercial producers with premium replacement females. The program has the ideal balance of maternal and carcass traits, which will yield cattle poised to increase the profitability of the commercial producer. Premium Red Baldy uses genetics supported by the only two beef breed associations backed by whole herd reporting. Producers interested in verifying their bull battery should call their respective breed representative to complete the verification process and to order Allflex tags for $0.99 each. Interested producers will contact Trey Befort, AHA director of commercial programs, at tbefort@herefordbeef.org or Chessie Mitchell, Red Angus Association of America tag program coordinator, at chessie@redangus.org. Registration numbers for Hereford or Red Angus sires must be provided to start the enrollment process. Upon completion of a short phone interview, tags will be shipped to the producer for qualifying females. Only enough tags to match the number of red-bodied and white- or brockle-faced females born on the operation will be
Director of commercial programs: Trey Befort tbefort@herefordbeef.org HerefordAdvantage.com PremiumRedBaldy.org HerefordMarketplace.com
issued. Added market exposure will be given to participating groups with cattle being listed on HerefordMarketplace.com. Qualifications include: • Female-only program — No steers will be tagged in this non-PVP tagging program. • Females must be sired by a bull battery ranking in the top 50% of the breed for Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) or Herdbuilder Index (HB). Registration must also be transferred to the participating producer. • Breed type must be predominately Red Angus and Hereford genetics, with a small allowance for other breeds. • Females must be red-bodied with either a bald or brockle face.
Maternal Advantage Program
This female-focused marketing tool is designed to take advantage of hybrid vigor by capitalizing on Hereford genetics. The program generates females with added longevity, more docility, increased fertility and more profit per year. Producers using Hereford bulls on British-based or Brahman-based females in their breeding program can utilize this program. Participating groups will be listed on HerefordMarketplace.com for added market exposure. AHA commercial programs overview Program

Show your support for Hereford youth, visit ShopHereford.com
This last year, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) reached an all time high in net assets and in scholarship payouts. HYFA and the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) work together to provide opportunities for the breed’s future leaders and to pave the way to successful and rewarding careers for these young people. The foundation holds fast to its mission of scholarship, leadership and education by providing programs that not only showcase the junior’s talents but build leaders and prepare them for a bright future in the beef industry and beyond.
What is HYFA?
Scholarships were the HYFA’s first mission in the fall of 2004, when the first $750 Gary Bishop Scholarship was awarded. In 2005 it was followed by the addition of the Bob and Dolores Call Scholarship and the unveiling of the $5 million capital endowment campaign. Thanks to the late Bill and Jo Ellard, the EE Ranches Inc. $200,000 endowment led to $18,250 in scholarships being awarded in the fall of 2006. This endowment was the beginning of great things to come for the HYFA, and 13 years later, the HYFA proudly will have awarded $200,000 after the summer scholarships have been dispersed. This kind of growth is monumental. Highlighting the HYFA’s activities this last year was the establishment of the Cottonwood Springs Farm Educational Endowment gifted by Tim and Nancy Keilty of Cedar, Mich. This $250,000 gift will propel education to the next level with the sole purpose of providing financial support for educational programs and contests at the annual Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). In recent years, the foundation has also added the Coley-Malir Leadership Endowment, which allowed the HYFA to contribute $50,000 to the Faces of Leadership Conference this year. In addition, junior members experience various other educational opportunities in and outside the showring each year through the JNHE and the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout. As the HYFA surpasses the 4 million dollar mark for total net assets, here is a quick glance at how the foundation is giving back and the programs that are being funded:
HYFA program at work in 2020 Youth scholarships
$200,000
JNHE educational support
$60,000
Faces of Leadership support
$50,000
NJHA Fed Steer Shootout
$20,000
Total support in 2020 $330,000 Fundraising at a glance
New fundraising programs are added each year to support leadership and education. In 2018 the Foundation 1 Club was initiated by Sierra Ranches, Modesto, Calif., with 1% of the proceeds of their fall production sale being donated to the HYFA. The Ladies of the Royal Sale and Mile High Night Sale followed suit, and the foundation is excited that nearly $35,000 was generated in the first year. The HYFA welcomed Hereford Prep Collection and Michelle Weber Studios to the Foundation 1 Club and invite others to come grow with the HYFA and to see how 1% over time can make a huge difference. The Lot 1 Foundation Female continues to be one of the largest funding platforms for the foundation. This tradition celebrated 12 years at the 2020 Mile High Night Sale and has generated $960,000 in its lifetime to support youth initiatives.
Come grow with HYFA
Breeder, industry and corporate support is vital to the HYFA’s success. Since the HYFA is a 501(c)(3) corporation, all contributions are tax deductible and no gift is too big or too small when it comes to supporting the foundation. The HYFA supports the programs and activities that not only benefit the Hereford breed but also help establish the future of the Hereford breed for tomorrow’s youth. The most common methods of giving include cash donations, stocks, sponsorships and memorials. For more information on how to contribute to Hereford youth or for more information about awards and scholarships sponsored by the HYFA, visit HerefordYouthFoundation.org.

Mission statement
The National Junior Hereford Association’s (NJHA) mission is to create and promote enthusiasm for the Hereford breed while providing opportunities through leadership, education and teamwork, thus ensuring a brighter future for youth and the cattle industry. The NJHA is one of the largest, strongest and most active junior programs in the country. The NJHA, through its extensive leadership programs, continues to lay the foundation for the beef industry’s future leaders. It is fun to watch as members of this association graduate from the junior ranks and go on to be leaders, not only in the Hereford breed but in the entire agriculture industry. It is so rewarding to see past junior directors leading the American Hereford Association (AHA) Board and using some of the skills and networks they gained from serving on the junior board to help them be the best adult leaders they can be. The NJHA membership is on the rise, and in 2019, 3,545 active members took advantage of all the opportunities available to Hereford youth through the association. Do you want to be a member of the NJHA? If you are under the age of 22 and love Hereford cattle, you can join. Simply fill out the online form found on the website JrHereford.org. Then you’re on your way to becoming a member of one of the largest junior beef breed organizations in the world.
Junior National Hereford Expo
Voted Best of the Barns in 2019 and one of the largest junior beef breed shows in the U.S., the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) is a highlight of the NJHA’s summer activities. It is held every July and is cosponsored by the AHA, the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and affiliated state Hereford associations. Known to many as the ultimate family vacation, this summer spectacular provides an opportunity for competition between junior members and their cattle projects. A hands-on program for youth provides educational, leadership and motivational forums. During the event, youth can participate in more than 20 skill-based contests. Mark your calendars — the 2020 JNHE is scheduled to be in Louisville, Ky., at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center and will be themed “Banners in the Bluegrass.” In 2021, the JNHE is headed to Madison, Wis., for “Hereford Spectacular” over the Fourth of July.
Faces of Leadership and NJHA Fed Steer Shootout contest
It is not all about showing Herefords. While the JNHE promotes learning aspects of showing cattle and educational activities associated with relative contests, the NJHA’s annual Faces of Leadership Conference serves to empower NJHA members with the skills they need to develop into the best leaders they can be. Through the Faces of Leadership Conference young leaders are exposed to opportunities in the industry. The conference cultivates communication skills, encourages working in team settings and focuses on individual development. Junior members from all parts of the country participate in the event each year. During the three-day event, more than 100 participants listen to nationally known speakers and participate in junior board workshops, which focus on leadership development, team building and becoming better public speakers. In the past few years, the event has traveled to California, University of Nebraska, Arkansas, South Dakota State University, the Texas Panhandle and Kansas State University. From the amazing ranch tours to up close looks at the industry at Tyson Foods and Sullivan Supply, new doors are being opened and Faces of Leadership participants truly are experiencing leadership like they never have before. The NJHA is excited to be in Columbus, Ohio, July 28-31, 2021, at the Ohio State University. This conference is offered to junior members ages 14-21 and is made possible by the Coley-Malir Leadership Endowment. Now in its fourth year, the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout is proud to have BioZyme Inc. on board as a premier sponsor and is making this contest even more engaging and educational as participants experience cattle feeding in a real world setting. The contest is open to pen-of-three or individual Hereford or commercial steers. As the 2020 steers are harvested, the NJHA is gearing up for the 2021 delivery dates, which will be the end of November, and all steers will need to weigh 500-800 pounds.

HYFA scholarship applications due
to provide the foundation upon which interested youth can build their future in the agriculture industry, the NJHA offers various scholarships and awards to its membership. The HYFA administers these scholarships to deserving Hereford youth. In 2019 close to $200,000 was awarded to NJHA members. For more information, visit JrHereford.org. The fall scholarship deadline is Sept. 1. The spring scholarship deadline is April 1.
Elected to lead
Twelve outstanding Hereford juniors serve each year on the NJHA board of directors. Every year, four board members are elected to three-year
terms at the annual junior membership meeting, which is held in conjunction with the JNHE. During their term, directors develop and implement programs and events that serve junior Hereford members across the nation. Traveling on behalf of the NJHA to various activities enables them to meet fellow members and to share their thoughts and experiences of Hereford involvement. They also get first-hand experience in leadership, cooperation and organization. NJHA board applications are due June 1 each year, and all of the guidelines, bylaws and requirements may be found at JrHereford.org.

2020 Hereford Handbook / 13
Hereford Show Information AHA Show Rules • All cattle including calves on the side of cow-calf pairs and senior yearlings entered must be registered in the Herd Book of the American Hereford Association (AHA). Entries with registrations “pending” or illegible tattoos or improper tattoos as shown on the registration certificate at check-in time are ineligible for competition. Exhibitors are subject to the Association’s special rule on class qualification. Entries in these classes are accepted with the understanding that the exhibitor agrees to abide by the rule in all respects. • The exhibition of cattle displaying false hair will not be allowed. • Any product administered internally or used externally to alter the conformation of an animal for exhibition is prohibited. This includes the use of graphite, hemp or other similar substances externally and steroids or growth stimulants internally. • The act of artificially filling animals internally, which includes stomach pumping, drench tubes or any other method by mouth or esophagus, is prohibited. • All animals shown in group classes must have been shown in their respective single-age class. No transfer from one (1) breed to another, after entry, will be permitted. • Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) values will be provided to the judge and audience for all animals shown. Animals without EPD data are eligible to show but will have N/A (not available) in place of missing data. • It is recommended by the AHA Show Committee that classes with 10 or more head be considered to be split, depending on animals’ birthdates in each particular class. • Any animal without a legible tattoo will not be eligible to show.
• All Hereford animals must be officially recorded (registered) 30 days prior to show date to be eligible to show at a National Hereford Show. • An animal that is scurred (scurs are small, rudimentary horns that are loosely attached to the head, which are considered to be expressed only in animals that are genetically heterozygous for the polled gene) will show in the polled division of Hereford shows. Once an animal is confirmed to be scurred by an AHA field representative, then this designation will be placed on the animal’s registration papers. Once this determination has been made and reported to the AHA office, then the owner may remove the scurs. Animals with scurs removed will show in the polled division of Hereford shows. Once an animal is confirmed polled or scurred, it will retain this designation forever. • The individual classes will be made up and divided after the cattle are checked in at the show. They will be judged from the youngest to the oldest animal within each class. • Calves on the side of cow-calf pairs and senior yearlings MUST BE the cow’s natural calf and fully registered with the AHA. • For cattle exhibited at the National Western Stock Show: › Exhibitors with senior bull calves and/or intermediate, yearling and senior bulls are required to provide a licensed veterinarian’s statement indicating the bull has been semen checked and evaluated as fertile. Semen evaluation is to occur within 90 days of the show. This statement must be presented at check-in during the National Western Stock Show. › Exhibitors with females in the spring and junior yearling divisions must be confirmed pregnant within 45 days of show by a licensed veterinarian or by blood test or show with a calf at side.
AHA Show Classifications The decision to have both a Hereford and polled Hereford show or to have a combined show will be left up to the discretion of the state breed associations and show management.

Rules and classifications
Exhibitors in Hereford classes are subject to the Association’s special rule on class qualification, and any animal without a legible tattoo will not be eligible for show. For state and regional shows, all Hereford animals must be officially recorded at show time to be eligible to show. For national shows all Hereford animals must be officially recorded (registered) 30 days prior to the show date to be eligible to show. Entries with registrations “Pending” or “Applied For” will be ineligible to show.
Group classes
Get-of-sire — Four animals shown in above single-entry classes with both sexes represented and all progeny of one sire. It is permissible to use either the cow or calf from a cowcalf pair for the get-of-sire. Get-of-sire may be comprised of animals from one or more owners and of both horned and polled animals. Best six head — All animals must have been shown in their respective single-entry classes, and they must be owned by the exhibitor or by a member of his/her immediate family. A cow-calf will be considered as two head in the best six head class. Best six head may be comprised of both horned and polled animals.
Premier exhibitor, premier breeder
Awarded with the following point system: first place = 5 points, second place = 4 points, third place = 3 points, fourth place = 2 points and fifth place = 1 point. No points will be given for champions. Points will be awarded for the best six head for premier exhibitor. The same scoring system as above will be used for awarding points for the group classes. It is suggested that banners be given to the premier exhibitor and the premier breeder. 2020 Hereford Handbook / 15
AHA Show Classifications continued
National junior show ownership rule
Cow-calf pairs, heifers and steers may be jointly owned by siblings provided all are individual members of the National Junior Hereford Association and are between the ages of 7 and 22 as of Jan. 1 of the current year. No animal is eligible to compete if recorded in joint ownership (other than the sibling rule) or ownership of farm or family name. Bred-and-owned bulls, however, may be owned by the exhibitor, a ranch/family name as long as the junior exhibitor is also the breeder.

Points for national and regional show bull and show female of the year will be based on the Regional Show Point System. Animals do not have to show in a regional show in order to be eligible for show bull or female of the year in the respective four quadrants. An animal may only win show bull or female of the year for one quadrant per year. Ownership percentage followed by ownership succession (breeder, first owner, second owner, etc.) will determine from which quadrant the animal will be recognized.
AHA point shows and awards • Official results from the show staff must be submitted within 30 days of completion of the show. • Results must contain the following: › Eight-digit AHA registration number › Complete registration name as recorded in the AHA registration system › Owner(s) as listed on the papers from the AHA registration system • In order for results to be included in the calculation for show animals of the year, shows must have at least 25 head exhibited at the show. • Shows that are listed as a national or regional point show as specified by the AHA show and sale committee will submit results to Bailey Clanton with the AHA at bclanton@hereford.org or mail them to American Hereford Association, Attn: Bailey Clanton, 11500 N. Ambassador Dr., Ste. 410, Kansas City, MO 64153.

Pedigree registry breeders can submit registry and transfer applications on a per head fee basis established by the Board of Directors. Pedigree breeders choose to waive performance recording on their animals and, therefore, waive the production of EPDs on their herd. Performance registry: This participation level is structured and oriented to simplify the billing and reporting of performance testing herds. Registry and transfer fees are assessed at the same rate as for pedigree breeders. Performance registry breeders are also required to maintain an accurate and up-to-date female inventory, listing all females currently in their breeding herd with AHA. Performance registry breeders are required to annually report calving ease and weaning weight information on the produce of every female in the inventory. Additional measures including birth and yearling weights, as well as carcass traits, can be reported but are not required. EPDs will be printed on the certificate. EPDs will only be reported on registered animals. Nonregistered animals or genetic material will not be provided EPDs.
SECTION II: AHA RECORDS, RULES AND POLICY
Junior membership in the Association is available to anyone under 22 years of age. The fee for junior membership is $15, assessed annually on September 1. The junior membership is available until the holder reaches his or her 22nd birthday. At that time, he/she may acquire an adult (life or recording) membership. Junior members have all of the privileges of recording members (except voting) including member rate fees for registering and transferring Hereford cattle, as well as participating in junior activities and scholarships.
Application for registration of your calves is a part of the record keeping requirement of Hereford cattle. Extra careful attention to detail in submitting applications for registration will save time for you and your Association. Be sure all information is supplied and that information is accurate and legible. Applying for registry of your calves when they are still young (four months or younger) is important, SINCE IT REDUCES THE RISK OF ERROR AND SAVES YOU BOTH TIME AND MONEY. There is one basic form used by the Association for registration application. Breeders participating at the pedigree registry level should disregard the fields of information used to submit birth performance data. Reports generated from the processing of registration applications will be appropriate for the breeder’s level of participation.
E. Non-resident membership
Tattooing calves:
D. Junior membership
Non-resident members are non-voting members residing in another country that wish to take advantage of member services including registry, total performance recording, selling of semen to members, and transfer of ownership of animals to other members. Non-resident members are subject to the same rules and fees as U.S. resident members.
F. Annual member service fee
Lifetime, recording and junior memberships require an annual member service fee of $100 ($20 for junior members) in order to register an animal during the current fiscal year. The fiscal year is September 1 through August 31. Each paid member service fee will generate a one-year subscription to the Hereford World magazine (except in the case of a junior membership). This fee is used to offset the costs of several under-funded services offered active registry accounts.
G. Membership herd designation
The Association has two different tiers or levels that members can participate in when registering and transferring Hereford cattle. The mechanisms for billing of services and services available are different between each of the tiers; therefore, each membership account must be designated as to which tier or level
Tattoos are a requirement for registry in the American Hereford Record. Hereford breeders were the first to adopt the ear tattoo as a requirement for registry. A tattoo outfit consists of a pair of specially designed pliers with rows of digits numbered 0 to 9 and a bottle of India ink. Such equipment may be purchased from most livestock supply stores. Select the desired number by rotating the digits in the ear marker. Before punching the animal’s ear, assure yourself that everything is in order by punching a piece of cardboard. Next, restrain the calf’s head so as to prevent violent movement while applying the tattoo. Select a spot in the center of the ear and clean thoroughly with a cloth and rubbing alcohol. Avoid placing the tattoo over one of the ribs of the ear but rather place the tattoo between the ribs of the ear. Place the ear between the jaws of the pliers with the numbers or letters on the inside of the ear. Close the pliers quickly and firmly and then release. Use a finger or toothbrush to smear ink over the punctures made by the tattoo and rub thoroughly until ink is worked into each of the holes. Make a written record of the marks placed in the ear. It is strongly advised that breeders place the tattoo in both ears to enhance the chances that a complete tattoo identity can be established. 2020 Hereford Handbook / 25
AHA Rules and Regulations continued
Herd Book of the American Hereford Association
Rule 1. OFFICIAL RECORD: The official record of the Association shall be the American Hereford Record. Such record shall be maintained in the AHA office. Rule 2. HERD BOOK: Entries in the American Hereford Record shall contain the registration number, name, sex, tattoo, date of birth, name and registry number of the sire and dam and the name of the breeder.
SECTION III: REGISTRATIONS
Rule 1. PRIVILEGES OF REGISTRATION: Applications for entry will only be accepted from members. Non-members must become members in order to register an animal. Rule 2. ELIGIBILITY: To be eligible for entry in the American Hereford Record, an animal must be the offspring of registered parents, both of which have been previously recorded in the American Hereford Record. Both horned and polled Herefords are eligible for entry into the record. Herefords registered in other associations (members of the World Hereford Council) can be entered in the American Hereford Record, thereby making their offspring eligible for registration. Rule 3. APPLICATION FOR ENTRY: Application for entry should be made on the official application form (FORM 1) or through an official AHA approved electronic software system. Rule 4. AGE OF SIRE: There is no minimum or maximum age specified for a Hereford sire or his progeny to be eligible for entry. However, applications indicating the sire was less than nine months of age at time of service will be questioned for accuracy. Rule 5. AGE OF DAM: There is no minimum or maximum age specified for a Hereford dam or her progeny to be eligible for entry. However, applications indicating that the dam was less than nine months of age at time of conception will be questioned for accuracy. Rule 6. 283-DAY RULE: A calf born less than 283 days after the birth of its dam’s previous calf will be questioned. The breeder must then provide an explanation for the early delivery and a ruling will be made as to whether the entry will be allowed. Rule 7. 21-DAY RULE: Females exposed to one bull must not be exposed to another bull in less than 21 days after such exposure. Avoiding double or multiple exposures will help provide positive identification of the service sire. Exposure to a second bull in less than 21 days might mean the correct service sire cannot be positively identified, requiring DNA typing of both sires, the dam and the calf. Rule 8. DNA TYPING: • All Hereford bulls born after Jan. 1, 2011, are required to be DNA typed at the official AHA DNA laboratory before their progeny can be registered. • Whenever the eligibility for registration of any animal is in doubt because of uncertain or unknown parentage, DNA typing by the Association shall be required. Rule 9. MULTIPLE BIRTH: Twins or other multiple birth calves are eligible for registration. The application for registry, however, should specify such at birth.
Rule 10. TATTOO: Calves must be tattooed before application for registry is made. Each breeder may devise his own plan or system of tattoo identification using either numbers or letters or a combination of both. Any marks other than numbers or letters, however, are not permitted — meaning brand marks, symbols, etc. cannot be used. Duplication of tattoos within your herd is strongly discouraged as tattoos are frequently used by breeders as a primary form of identification. Duplication can lead to much confusion for breeder and the Association office alike. The tattoo in one ear shall be limited to a maximum of eight characters. If the tattoo should become illegible, the same marking shall be placed in a different area of the ear. No attempt shall be made to alter or over-imprint the old tattoo. The Association must be notified when an animal is retattooed. Rule 11. NAMING HEREFORDS: It is the responsibility of the owner to select names for his cattle. The name must not be more than 30 spaces long, counting spaces between words. For example, PRINCE DOMINO ADVANCE JUNO 133 is exactly 30 spaces long. Brands, symbols and commas cannot be used. Avoid duplicating names as no two Herefords should be named the same. It is the breeder’s responsibility to avoid using names and prefixes that are being used by other breeders. Names should be appropriate for the gender of the animal, and it is recommended that names reflect the line of breeding where possible. Embryo transfer calves will carry the designation embryo transfer (ET) at the end of their name, accounting for three spaces. The Association reserves the right to change the name assigned to an animal on an application for registry if the name submitted is deemed to be inappropriate. Rule 12. CHANGING NAMES: The name of a Hereford may be changed, provided the animal has no registered offspring. The name may be changed only once in the lifetime of an animal. All owners must agree to the name change in the case of a partnership owned animal. Letters must be submitted from the first and all current owners requesting the change of name along with the certificate and required fee. Rule 13. JOINT OWNERSHIP (BREEDING INTEREST): No application for registration or transfer of an animal which shows more than four owners shall be accepted for entry in the American Hereford Record. Rule 14. DUPLICATE CERTIFICATES: If original certificates are lost or destroyed, the owner may secure duplicates from the Association by providing the sex, registry number and tattoo of each animal. If the registry number is not available, the registration number of the dam, name of the person who registered the animal, and the sex, age and tattoo of the animal in question must be provided. The fee for duplicate certificates for member and nonmembers is available from the AHA Records Department. Rule 15. CORRECTION OF CERTIFICATES: It is recognized that occasionally errors are committed in registering cattle, and these should be corrected. If an error is discovered, it should be reported to the Association immediately and the incorrect certificate returned with a letter of explanation. Corrections are made without charge if done within six months of the issue date or if the Association made the error. The fee for making corrections after the six-month period is available from the AHA Records Department. Rule 16. ARTIFICIAL SERVICE: Calves may be registered that were produced through artificial insemination (AI) provided they comply with the rules governing AI as discussed in SECTION V: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION.
26 / 2020 Hereford Handbook
Rule 17. ELIGIBILITY FOR EMBRYO TRANSPLANT CALVES: Registration of offspring resulting from embryo transplant (ET) shall be made on an Application for Registration (Form 1). Certificates issued shall be designated by ET following the name of the calf. The name must be no longer than 30 characters long including the ET designation. Registry of offspring resulting from ET may be implemented only after the following steps have been taken: • DNA profile of sire and donor dam must be recorded with the Association. DNA profile kits are available from the Association. The names and registry numbers of the animals to be tissue sampled must be supplied. • Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service must accompany the application for each calf when the sire is not in the same recorded ownership as the donor dam. Rule 17A. NEW EMBRYO TRANSFER POLICY: For ET calves there will no longer be an ET certificate required for registration. The new requirement for registering an ET calf will be the reporting of the recovery date of the embryo at the time of registry. ET calves will be charged an additional $10 per head over and above the normal registry rate. Rule 18. LEASING HEREFORDS: Herefords may be leased, provided a statement of lease is on file with the Association. If a lease statement is on file listing each animal being leased by name and registration number, the lessee can register calves sired by the bulls or produced by the cows as if he were the actual owner, provided there are no more than three owners already listed. At the end of the lease period, unless extended, registration privileges revert back to the recorded owner. In order to make this process more efficient and less confusing, the Association will adopt the following policies regarding leasing Hereford cattle: • The required information needed by the Association for leasing animals will be communicated using one consistent and common lease form to be used by all members wishing to participate in this type of practice. The lease form will contain only the required information for the Association’s needs and is to be used expressly for that intent. The lease form should not be construed as a binding agreement between the lessor and lessee. The Association shall in no way be involved in or assume liability for the lease, terms of the lease of registered Herefords, or the passage of legal rights thereto. • All lease periods must include a beginning and ending date; no open-ended leases will be accepted. • All animals involved in the lease shall be included on the lease form(s) by their registration number and name. • The lease form must be submitted by the lessor with his/her signature. • Should the lessor and lessee agree to extend the lease, documented notification will be required in the Association’s office should the birth dates of any calves being registered out of sire or dams involved in the lease not coincide with the time period of the lease. • If the lessor or lessee wishes to lease additional or different animals, then an additional lease form(s) should be completed with all required information and submitted by the lessor. Rule 19. IMPORTED HEREFORDS: Herefords imported from another country must be recorded in the American Hereford Record if their calves are to be registered. Registration of imported cattle must be accomplished within one year from the date of purchase of imported cattle.
See section for the procedures for recording imported cattle or semen interests in bulls from another country. Rule 20. REGISTRATION OF HEREFORDS OVER TWO YEARS OF AGE: Application for registration of an animal received by the Association after two years from the date of birth shall be considered for registration only when accompanied by a written statement from the applicant setting forth the reason application was not submitted within the generally accepted registration period. These applications and required fees must be approved by the Board of Directors. Rule 21. REGISTRATION FOR THE ESTATE OF A DECEASED PERSON: In the event of the death of one who normally would apply for registration of cattle, the Association requires there shall be filed in its office all documents necessary to prove the person requesting registration is legally authorized to do so. Rule 22. REGISTRATION BY AFFIDAVIT: In case of neglect or refusal by the seller to register a calf sold at side of dam, registration may be approved by the Board of Directors on the basis of the facts furnished to substantiate the claim. Each affidavit must be accompanied by proof of a sale and payment in full of the purchase price and evidence of whether the dam’s breeding was natural or artificial. Rule 23. REGISTRATION ACCURACY: Accurately kept private records are essential, and in any case where an application is regarded as questionable, the burden of the proof with regard to same shall belong to the applicant, who must sustain his claims by a preponderance of evidence. Whenever the accuracy of data contained in an application to register an animal is challenged, the matter may be referred to the Board of Directors for investigation. Rule 24. MISREPRESENTATION OR FRAUD: If an animal’s registration has been obtained through misrepresentation or fraud, or if the date of birth, tattoo number, sire, dam or service information or any other fact regarding the animal has been misrepresented, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems necessary.
SECTION IV: TRANSFER OF REGISTRATIONS
Rule 1. RESPONSIBILITY: It is the responsibility of the seller of registered Herefords to execute properly the official transfer of ownership to the buyer. Every change of ownership of an animal used for breeding purposes must be recorded by official transfer on the American Hereford Record. No entry on the face of the certificate of registry shall be made except in the office of the Association and any unauthorized entry shall render a certificate null and void, subject to issuance of a replacement certificate at an additional fee. Rule 2. IDENTIFICATION: It shall be the duty of the seller, before offering a registered Hereford for sale or applying for transfer, to verify that the animal carries legible tattoo marks matching those entered on its certificate. Rule 3. APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER: Application for transfer shall be made either electronically through AHA’s online service or in hard copy form on the reverse side of the registration certificate and signed by the seller or an authorized agent. The application should be legibly completed and must specify name and location of the buyer and date of delivery. For bred females, service information is also required. 2020 Hereford Handbook / 27
AHA Rules and Regulations continued
Rule 4. COWS WITH CALF AT SIDE: When a cow is transferred with a calf at side, the calf must first be registered to the individual, partnership or corporation in whose name the cow was registered on the date of birth of the calf. A separate transfer of the calf is then required to the new owner. This is often referred to as a “transfer on entry.” (See backside of registration application.) Rule 5. CALF TRANSFERRED AT TIME OF REGISTRATION: As described above, a calf must first be registered in the membership name of the dam’s owner at the time of birth. Then a separate transfer to the new owner is required. Rule 6. TRANSFER BY AFFIDAVIT: In the event of neglect or refusal by the seller to apply for transfer of registration, transfer may be recorded if approved by a majority of the Board of Directors on the basis of the facts furnished to substantiate the claim. Each affidavit must be accompanied by proof of sale and payment in full of the purchase price of the animal. Rule 7. TRANSFERS CONSIGNED TO PUBLIC SALE: Sale managers or their representatives may fill in the buyer’s name on the application for transfer of animals consigned to public sales, and if authorized by the consignor, sign such transfers in his stead. Such applications must indicate the name of the sale manager or agent representing the consignor. Applications executed under this rule are subject to Rule 12 of this section. Rule 8. TRANSFER FROM THE ESTATE OF A DECEASED PERSON: In the event of the death of the owner of Hereford cattle, the Association requires that there should be filed in its office, documents showing the person requesting transfer is legally authorized and entitled to request such transfer. Applications executed under this rule are also subject to Rule 13 of this section. Rule 9. TRANSFER OF EXPORTED ANIMALS: Application for transfer of an animal exported to another country shall be made with a regular Transfer Application. Rule 10. RESPONSIBILITY OF LEGAL TITLE: A transfer of registration on the records of the American Hereford Association is not to be construed as the conveyance of legal title by the Association. The Association shall in no way be involved in or assume liability for the purchase, sale or terms of the sale of registered Herefords or the passage of legal title thereto. Rule 11. JOINTLY OWNED ANIMALS: No animal shall be transferred to more than four owners of record at any one time. A “syndicate” or similar type entity consisting of one or more individuals, firms, etc. may be listed as one or more of the four designated owners of record. Rule 12. MISREPRESENTATION OR FRAUD: If an animal’s registration has been transferred through misrepresentation or fraud, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate as provided in Article IX of the Bylaws, including, without limitation, suspension of the animal’s registration and any registrations of descendants of such animal and refusals of the Association to receive subsequent application of any kind from any person implicated in the misrepresentation or fraud. Rule 13. AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE: A certificate of registry does not establish legal ownership of cattle but simply reflects the name in which cattle are registered on the books of the Association. The Association will usually make any requested change or transfer of cattle registration upon the 28 / 2020 Hereford Handbook
presentation, to the Association, of the Registry Certificate covering the cattle and purporting to be signed with the name in which the Registry Certificate is issued. Due to the large number of transfers, it is impractical for the Association to verify signatures or require proof that the person signing the Registry Certificate and requesting change or transfer is in fact authorized to do so. Accordingly, a Registry Certificate should be kept in a safe place to insure against its falling into the hands of an unauthorized person who could then cause change or transfer of registration on the Association’s books and the issuance of a new Registry Certificate. If the Association receives conflicting instructions regarding any change or transfer of registration, the Association will, unless restrained by appropriate court order, honor the request of the person presenting the appropriate Registry Certificate.
SECTION V: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
Rule 1. DNA PROFILING: All bulls used in an artificial insemination program must be DNA profiled and a record of their DNA profile must be filed with the Association before calves sired artificially by such bulls shall be eligible for registration or before Non-Owner AI Certificates may be purchased. The official policy of the Association is to use DNA only for parentage verification as of December 2002. Rule 2. AI BULL PERMIT: The breeder using a bull for artificial breeding purposes must have received an AI bull permit issued by the Association. The Association must have on file a DNA profile report for the bull and his parents before the AI bull permit will be issued. Rule 3. DEATH OF BULLS: Calves conceived after the death of a bull shall be eligible for registration under the same conditions and provisions governing the eligibility of calves conceived by AI. The Association may request that calves sired by deceased bulls be parentage verified. Ownership of a deceased bull may be transferred if they are AI permitted. Rule 4. LABELING OF SEMEN: Semen must be properly identified by name and registration number of the bull and the date of collection. Unlabeled or mislabeled semen should not be used to produce calves for registration in the American Hereford Record. It shall be the responsibility of the owner of record or each co-owner of record of a bull used artificially to require each person or organization collecting, processing and freezing semen to identify the semen before freezing. Rule 5. WITHIN HERD USE: No Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service are required to register the resulting offspring when both cow and bull are in the same recorded ownership. When the cow and bull are not in the same recorded ownership, Rule 6 below applies. Rule 6. OUT-OF-HERD CALVES BY NON-OWNED SIRES: All sires used in AI service must be DNA profiled. Bulls that are DNA profiled after January 1, 1986, must also have both parents’ DNA profiles on file with AHA to qualify for Non-Owner AI Certificates. A DNA profile may be obtained by sending the appropriate hair samples to AHA’s official DNA lab for processing. DNA profiles from eligible animals, which originate in the official DNA lab of other Hereford associations, will be accepted for processing by AHA. Those sires for which a parent is not available for DNA profiling may only be used for AI service in the herds of the recorded owners, unless such bulls qualify for analysis to provide a derived type for the dead parent. (Contact AHA for further information on this special ruling.) The following requirements shall apply to register calves conceived artificially when the recorded owner of the female is
not the recorded owner or one of the recorded owners of the sire at the time of conception:
“Breeding Share Agreement,” they can be individually invoiced for AI certificates when calves are registered.
Option A:
Rule 10. SEMEN DONATIONS TO COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES: The Association will make donated AI Certificates of Service available for use by colleges or universities when a breeder makes a donation of semen from a qualified bull. The semen certificates will be issued to the college or university at no cost to the breeder. The following rules must be complied with: • The semen must be a donation to the college or university. • The breeder must apply for the donation certificates in the form of a letter to AHA indicating the institution to which the donation is made. • The bull must qualify under the current rules for NonOwner AI Certificates of Service. • The certificates and semen must be used by the institution that received the donation. Applications for registry from any other party will not be accepted. • Upon approval by the Association, donated AI Certificates of Service will be issued directly to the college or university.
• A bull may enter the Non-Owner AI Sire Program, which allows the owner(s) of a bull to sell semen without the need of an AI certificate for registration of the offspring of the bull. Calves born on or after December 1, 2006, are eligible for registry under this program. • For a bull to be entered into this program, an agreement must be signed by all owners of the bull and kept on file at the AHA. If the bull is owned by a syndicate, the owners listed on the certificate will need to sign the agreement along with the designated representative of the syndicate. • For a bull to be entered into this program, he must have an AI permit issued (see Rule 2). • There is a one-time fee of $100 to enter a bull into this program. Once a bull is entered into the program, he will not be allowed to switch back to the certificate program (Option B).
Option B:
• The breeder (recorded owner of the female at time of conception) must obtain a Non-Owner AI Certificate of Service for each calf to be recorded from the individual or firm supplying the semen and such certificates must accompany the application for registration of the resulting offspring. • The recorded owner of the bull from which the semen was sold is obligated to supply the number of Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service contracted for at the time the semen was purchased. • Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service may be obtained from the Association by active members of the Association who are the recorded owner or co-owners of the bull at a fee established by the Board of Directors.It is the responsibility of the owner of the dam at the time of service to complete the Non-Owner AI Certificate of Service.
Rule 7. LIMITATIONS: The Board may cancel the Non-Owner AI Permit for any bull which has been scientifically documented as being a carrier of a deleterious gene which produces an economically important genetic defect in his calves. Rule 8. LIMITATIONS: The Board may restrict or limit the number of Non-Owner AI Certificates for an individual bull if, in the judgement of the Board and based on scientific information, such bull is being used so excessively as to cause irreparable damage to the breed’s genetic base. Rule 9. NON-OWNER SEMEN CERTIFICATE ALLOCATION FOR MULTI-OWNER SIRES: To obtain AI Certificates from a multi-owned sire, one must be a recorded owner or co-owner of the sire. Certificates will be issued on request to any recorded owner. Contractual agreements regarding certificate privileges among multi-owners are the responsibility of those owners. In the instance where a recorded owner of the sire is a multi-owner group, it is the responsibility of the owner group’s designated spokesman to handle the distribution of non-owner AI semen certificates. Individual members of the multi-owner group, not otherwise recorded as one of the four recorded owners of record of the sire, will be required to secure NonOwner AI Certificates of Service from a recorded owner in order to register offspring of the sire from their recorded dams. The American Hereford Association (AHA) will provide a service whereby an AHA member can participate in a “Breeding Share Agreement” for bulls. When members participate in a
Rule 11. LIABILITY: The issuance of Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service by the Association should in no way be construed as guaranteeing conception or that the resulting calf shall be eligible for registration. There shall be no refunding of fees paid to the Association for these certificates.
SECTION VI: IMPORTING OF REGISTERED HEREFORDS
Rule 1. EXPORT CERTIFICATE: Registration of an animal originally recorded in the Herd Book of a member of the World Hereford Council shall be accepted only if a registry certificate is issued by the recognized registry organization of the country of origin. Rule 2. APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION: Registration may be applied for within one year by the breeder importing an animal originally recorded in the Herd Book of another member of the World Hereford Council and whose name appears as purchaser on the export certificate. The registry fee must accompany the request for registration. Rule 3. REGISTRATION OF CALVES IMPORTED IN DAM: If a cow was bred prior to importation and a record of service does not appear on the export certificate, the owner of the sire on the date of service must certify to the particulars of service through the recognized registry organization of the country of origin. When the imported cow was bred by artificial insemination, there must be on file with the recognized registry organization in the county of origin a blood type or DNA profile of the service sire. When the imported dam was bred artificially by a bull owned by a breeder in the U.S. and where no semen interest is owned by the breeder in the exporting country, a Non-Owner AI Certificate of Service must accompany the application for registry of the resulting progeny. Rule 4. REGISTRATION OF CALVES IMPORTED AT SIDE: Registration of a calf imported at side of its dam shall be accepted only if the calf is also registered in the same recognized registry organization and a registry certificate has been received by the American Hereford Association (AHA). Rule 5. SEMEN INTEREST IN A BULL DOMICILED IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY: To use semen or to sell Non-Owner AI Certificates of Service, the bull must be recorded in the American Hereford Record by a member (either a member 2020 Hereford Handbook / 29
AHA Rules and Regulations continued
residing in the U.S. or non-resident dues paying member) of the American Hereford Association. All DNA profile rules apply.
that such animal has won such competition, permit the Association to secure a DNA sample from such animal.
Rule 6. REGISTRATION OF CALVES RESULTING FROM EGGS IMPORTED FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY will require a DNA profile match of the subject animal, the sire and the dam on file with the Association.
C. If, at any time, the Association is in possession of two (2) or more DNA profiles allegedly from the same animal that do not match, including the winner in any Hereford competition, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may require the Executive Vice President to undertake such investigation as the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee deems appropriate, and, upon the conclusion of such investigation, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate as provided in Article XI of the Bylaws, including without limitation the forfeiture of any prizes including any monetary awards or ribbons awarded to such animal at such competition, the suspension of the registration of the animal in question, the suspension of the owner’s membership or the revocation of the owner’s membership. Any such investigation may include requiring any owner to permit the Association to secure another DNA sample from such animal.
SECTION VII: DNA PROFILING
Rule 1. DNA PROFILING: Over a period of years a vast amount of technical information has become available, and DNA profiling is now a useful tool for Association members. Applying for the DNA profile of an animal requires a request to AHA for a DNA profile kit for each animal to be tested. The request must include the name and registry number of the animal to be tested. The kit will contain all the necessary instructions for securing a DNA sample and the shipping instructions to send the sample to the designated AHA laboratory. Rule 2. AI SIRES: The rules of the Association require all sires of calves conceived artificially to be DNA profiled before their calves are eligible for registration. It is wise to have all herd bulls hair sampled early in life to make sure that the semen can be used after their death. Rule 3. DNA PARENTAGE VERIFICATION OF AI AND ET BORN CALVES: Starting December 1, 2006, the AHA will parentage verify every 250th calf registered with a service type of artificial insemination (AI) or embryo transfer (ET). If a calf is selected for verification under this program, the registration of the calf will be held until the parentage verification is complete. If the calf is from a mating of an AI sire and its dam is not available for sampling, the next calf registered will be selected without interruption of registration. The AHA will assume the DNA lab cost of parentage verification of the calf and DNA profile work on the dam (if required). Rule 4. ALL ANIMALS: A. The Association may require that any animal which has been registered by the Association be subjected to a DNA profile test to verify breed purity and accuracy of the recorded parentage. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors or the Executive Vice President may require that a DNA profile be made, by such agencies as it or he may designate, of any Hereford animal which has been alleged to have been incorrectly recorded or for any animal for which tissue analysis is deemed advisable. It shall be the duty of the owner of record of any animal in question and the owner of record of the purported sire and dam to afford the Association or its representatives reasonable opportunity to secure DNA samples from the animals involved in the investigation. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors is empowered to determine who shall pay the costs of any investigation, including laboratory fees assessed under the provisions of this rule. B. Prior to the filing of an entry application for any animal with respect to which a DNA profile is not on file with the Association, the Association may require the owner of said animal, at the owner’s cost, to provide a DNA sample for such animal to the Association’s designated laboratory and to provide a DNA profile to the Association from the Association’s designated laboratory. At any Hereford competition, the owner of any animal that wins such competition shall, promptly after the announcement 30 / 2020 Hereford Handbook
Rule 5. REFUSAL: If the owner of record shall refuse reasonable opportunity to the Association or its designated agents to secure DNA samples as set forth in Rule 3 of this Section, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board may take such actions and impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate as provided in Article IX of the Bylaws, including without limitation the suspension of the registration of the animal in question. Rule 6. NON-REGISTERED ANIMALS: The Association may collect and maintain DNA profiles on animals other than registered animals. The Association may, from time to time, compare the DNA profiles of registered animals and the DNA profiles of animals with respect to which applications for registration have been submitted with the DNA profiles of nonregistered animals. The Association may deny registration to, or revoke the registration of, any animal based on this comparison.
SECTION VIII: RULES REGARDING CLONES
Rule 1. ONLY REPLICATION CELL-CLONED animals shall be eligible for registration. Rule 2. THE CELL DONOR animal must be DNA-marker typed. Rule 3. THE BREEDER of the cell-donor animal must be identified as the breeder of the cell-cloned offspring. Rule 4. THE OWNER OF RECORD of the cell-donor, on the date of biopsy removal, will be identified as the first owner, unless the calf is the result of a pregnant recipient, purchased embryo — fresh or frozen — in which case the purchaser may be identified as the first owner. Rule 5. DNA MARKER typing of the cell-cloned animal, or recipient dams, may be required by the Association. Rule 6. CALVES CONCEIVED AFTER DEATH of celldonor animals shall be eligible for registration under the same conditions and provisions governing the eligibility of calves prior to the death of said animal. Rule 7. REGISTRATION OF CELL-CLONED transplants shall be made on a special form, provided by the Association, at the regular fee, plus an additional fee as determined by the Board of Directors.
Rule 8. REGISTRATION CERTIFICATES issued for cell-cloned transplants shall be so designated. The registration number of the animal, which is being cell-cloned shall also be stated on the registration certificate. Rule 9. NOTHING SET FORTH herein should be construed as an indication that the Association takes any position as to the ownership rights, if any, of retained cell material. That is a separate matter reserved for discussion and/or negotiation between the buyer and seller. Rule 10. INITIAL BREEDING VALUES – EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPDs) generated from National Cattle Evaluation for a cloned animal shall be the same values as the cell-donor animal. All data of future progeny from a cloned animal will be pooled with the cell-donor progeny data for genetic evaluation. SECTION IX: GENETIC DEFECT POLICY Procedures for collecting abnormality data and reporting the information to the AHA membership: Physical and functional abnormalities are present in all breeds of cattle. In order to monitor abnormalities in Hereford cattle, the American Hereford Association requests the collection of abnormality information from AHA members on a voluntary basis. Specialist, Dr. David Steffen, veterinarian for the University of Nebraska Veterinary and Biomedical Science Department, has worked closely with many breeds in the area of genetic abnormalities. The AHA will be working with him to diagnose abnormalities as being genetic or non-genetic in origin. Not all abnormalities are genetic in origin. Some defects can be attributed to sickness or nutrition. Dr. Steffen works to determine the root cause of the defect. All AHA members are invited to read the procedures for reporting genetic abnormalities. A. Reporting Physical Abnormalities to AHA Any AHA member who becomes aware of a possible physical or functional abnormality in an AHA-registered animal shall immediately notify the AHA Director of Breed Improvement at 816-842-3757. Upon receiving notification of a possible physical functional abnormality, the AHA Records Department will take the following steps to confirm the abnormality and determine if it is genetic in origin: • Provide the member with an abnormality report form, which the member shall promptly complete and return to the AHA: • Provide the member with instructions for collecting and submitting for analysis as deemed appropriate blood and tissue samples from the animal in question. The reporting member shall promptly comply with all AHA instructions regarding the gathering and submission of tissue and blood samples. B. AHA Genetic Consultant The AHA will refer confirmed physical abnormalities to a genetic consultant for analysis. The genetic consultant shall be chosen by the AHA Board. Currently the genetic consultant is David Steffen, DVM PhD, from the University of Nebraska. The AHA genetic consultant is responsible for determining if sufficient evidence exists to establish a definite cause of a particular physical abnormality. All AHA members shall cooperate fully in any investigation necessary to such determination. The genetic consultant will advise the Board of diagnostic criteria for established genetic diseases and will evaluate evidence to determine if diagnostic criteria are met. Dr. Steffen will perform these evaluations as a pathologist for the Nebraska University Diagnostic Center.
C. Notification to Owners of Affected Animals and Owners of Parents of Affected Animals Once a physical abnormality has been confirmed and parentage has been verified, all owners of record of the abnormal animal and owners of record of the parents of the abnormal animal will receive the following information from the AHA: • A description of the physical abnormality in question. • The recorded sire and dam of the abnormal animal. • Whether as a preliminary matter the abnormality appears to be genetic in origin. • If the abnormality appears to be genetic, what steps are planned to determine whether the parents of the abnormal animal are carriers of the physical abnormality. D. Notification to AHA Membership Upon confirmation that an AHA-registered animal has either (i) produced a sufficient number of abnormal progeny (at least two confirmed, parent-identified cases) such that there is a high likelihood that such animal is a carrier of a genetic defect, or (ii) been the subject of positive DNA test (See Section E) that indicates that such animal is a carrier of a genetic defect, the AHA will immediately notify by certified mail the owners of record of the confirmed carrier of the AHA’s intent to designate their animal as a confirmed carrier of a genetic defect. In addition, the AHA will immediately add a special code to the animal’s registration to indicate this fact. An animal that has been designated as a confirmed carrier of a genetic abnormality shall be immediately placed on a confirmed carrier list, which will be disseminated on the AHA website and which will be available upon request. Any AHA member who may be aggrieved by the AHA’s designation of a particular animal as a confirmed carrier of a genetic defect may file a complaint with the AHA Executive Committee within thirty (30) days after the mailing of the certified letter. The filing of such a complaint will not stay the confirmed carrier designation. The complaint shall be heard and disposed of by the Executive Committee in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article XI of AHA’s Bylaws. In the event that a complaint has not been filed within thirty (30) days after the mailing of the certified letter, the confirmed carrier designation will become final. In the event that the complaint results in a final unappealable determination that the subject animal is not a confirmed carrier of a genetic defect, AHA will immediately remove the special code from the animal’s registration. In addition, such animal shall be immediately removed from the confirmed carrier list. The AHA will not give notice of confirmed or suspected genetic abnormalities with respect to any particular animal to any AHA member or to any owners of related AHA-registered animals except as specifically set out in these rules. The foregoing shall not prohibit AHA from giving the members notice of, and general information concerning, a genetic abnormality so long as no particular animal is referred to in connection with such information. Any other notification is the sole responsibility of the owner(s) of the confirmed or suspected carrier parent. E. DNA Genetic Abnormality Testing In the case the AHA identifies a gene marker test for a genetic abnormality, animals may be tested to determine carrier status by an AHA approved laboratory. If breeders wish to officially confirm an animal free of a genetic abnormality and designate it as such on the animal’s pedigree, then the following guidelines must be met: • The breeder must request the DNA test kit from the AHA Records Department. • The results of the test must be returned directly to AHA from the official lab.

AHA Rules and Regulations continued
F. Classification of Genetic Abnormalities The AHA currently recognizes the following physical abnormalities that have been confirmed by its genetic consultant to be genetic in origin under certain circumstances: • CLASS I (LETHAL) Snorter Dwarfism Maple Syrup Urine Disease (Neuraxial Edema) Internal Hydrocephalus Idiopathic Epilepsy (IE) • CLASS II (NON-LETHAL) Hypotrichosis Dermoid Alopecia/Dyserythropoiesis Color Dilutor G. Description of Defects • CLASS I (LETHAL) Snorter Dwarfism – Symptoms: Undersized, short-legged, short-bodied animal, usually potbellied with noisy breathing. Several different types include a broad-headed, bulging forehead and a longand mature-headed kind. X-ray of 10-day-old dwarfs may show abnormal lumbar vertebrae. Most cases are simple autosomal recessive; some forms are incomplete dominance. – Confirmation: Pathologic exam Maple Syrup Urine Disease (Neuraxial Edema) – Symptoms: Calves will be of normal size at birth. May not be able to get up or lift head. A sudden touch or loud noise may cause a vigorous extension of the legs and neck. Contraction (muscle spasms) may last one or two minutes and can be made to reappear. Simple autosomal recessive. – Confirmation: Histopath of nervous tissue or biochemical test Internal Hydrocephalus (water head) – Symptoms: Excess fluid is present in the brain which may result in a bulging forehead. Calves are usually born dead or die shortly after birth. Some cases may be environmental. Needs careful diagnosis. Simple autosomal recessive. – Confirmation: Gross pathologic exam Idiopathic Epilepsy (IE) – Symptoms: Age of onset (occurrence of the first seizure) can be variable, ranging from birth to several months of age. Occurrence and persistence of seizures may be influenced by environmental stressors such as temperature extremes (e.g., extreme cold during calving) or increased physical activity (e.g., processing at vaccination or weaning). Upon initial onset of seizure episodes individuals will typically lie on their side with all limbs extended in a rigid state. Manual flexing of the limbs is possible, but return to the extended position occurs after release. Seizure episodes may last from several minutes to more than an hour. Autosomal recessive. – No anatomic abnormalities or histologic lesions detected. – Confirmation: AHA approved expert • CLASS II (NON-LETHAL) Hypotrichosis (hairlessness) – Symptoms: Partial to almost complete lack of hair. Affected calves are often born with very short, fine, kinky hair that may fall out leaving bare spots or areas particularly susceptible to rubbing. The condition may vary in expression as the animal matures and is usually less noticeable in older animals. The haircoat color will sometimes appear “frosted” or “silverish.” Tail switch may be underdeveloped. Simple autosomal recessive. – Confirmation: Megatrichohyaline granule skin biopsy 32 / 2020 Hereford Handbook
Dermoid (feather eyes) – Symptoms: Skin-like masses of tissue occur on the eye or eyelid. Animals may become partially or completely blind. Polygenic inheritance. – Confirmation: Clinical diagnosis with photos or biopsy Alopecia/Anemia, Dyserythropoiesis – Symptoms: Short, curly hair, hair loss on neck and shoulder. Progressive generalized hair loss. White areas appear dirty and calves are anemic. – Confirmation: Blood test for anemia plus skin biopsy Color Dilutor – Symptoms: Carrier Hereford bulls or females when mated to black cattle can produce offspring with a haircoat that is gray, smokey or chocolate color. – Confirmation: Clinical diagnosis with photos H. Lethal vs. Non-Lethal A lethal genetic abnormality is a genetic abnormality which usually results in death of the animal or production of the animal is significantly impaired causing major economic loss. Non-lethal abnormalities do not cause death, nor do they significantly affect production or commercial profitability. Nonlethals may, however, cause economic loss to seedstock producers. I. Breeding to Avoid Abnormalities Breeders that may have a problem with a simple recessive abnormality can make use of available DNA-based diagnostic tests or implement mating systems designed to reduce the frequency of the abnormal gene in their herds and the breed. Where a DNA-based test is available, breeders can directly test animals for the presence of a specific mutation causing the disease. Animals confirmed to be carriers should be used cautiously, and serious consideration should be given to their removal from the seedstock breeding herd. However, breeders should guard against carelessly throwing away good genetics because a sire or dam is a carrier unless that animal’s good characteristics remain available in the breed from another source. In the absence of a DNA-based test, mating systems should rely on the use of bulls known not to have produced affected calves. Sons of carrier animals can be used if they have been tested free of the abnormality through a series of special test matings. Mating a bull to seven affected females, 17 carrier cows or 35 of his own daughters with no abnormal offspring provides three ways to test for the presence of a recessive gene. With specific regard to non-lethal abnormalities, each breeder must assess the potential economic impact the abnormality may have on his operation. J. Predicted Outcome of Certain Matings Using Hypotrichosis as an Example Hypotrichosis (non-lethal) results from homozygosity of a simple autosomal recessive gene. This means that both parents must possess the hypotrichosis gene in order to produce an affected calf. Approximately 25% of the calves resulting from the mating of two carrier animals will be affected, while 50% will be normal appearing but carriers of hypotrichosis, and the remaining 25% will be normal and non-carriers. Possible matings and the predicted outcomes are shown in the table below: Affected Unaffected Unaffected Normal Matings1 Hypotrichosis Carrier hh × hh hh × Hh hh × HH Hh × Hh Hh × HH HH × HH

et us introduce ourselves and tell you a little bit about Four B Farm in Shelby, NC. We are Wren and Bryson Westbrook. Our four children – Beau, Belle, Bonnie and Bennet – gave rise to the name Four B Farm when we bought our first group of cows 8 years ago. I (Bryson) grew up in Georgia with Victor Domino and Perfection cattle of the 80’s. I developed an interest in bloodlines at an early age and improving the cattle on my family’s farm became one of my greatest desires. I stayed involved with my father’s cattle for many years, but when we settled in Shelby I knew it was finally time for me to begin a herd of my own. My lifelong love for Hereford cattle fuels our passion for the breed and guides our decisions and actions within our breeding program today. Our first goal is to breed and raise as many Dams of Distinction as we can produce. We feel that the criteria required to qualify for this honor is the measuring stick to produce profitable, sound cattle. We qualified our first Dam of Distinction born and raised at Four B Farm this year. We continue to build the size and quality of our herd around 4B prefixed cattle along with key purchases from other great breeders. We plan on starting our own sale once our cow herd has reached the quality and consistency that allows us to turn our generations and offer females, heifers, and bulls for sale. Sound genetics are at the core of our breeding program. At Four B Farm we spend a lot of time considering the qualities and traits that will most benefit our cattle herd. Sire and female selection along with mating decisions has been a tricky task, always trying to fill in a hole without creating another one. I tend to gravitate toward bigger is better but have learned throughout the years that this is often not the best choice, especially for our environment. Yes we want them big and we want them heavy but our foremost goal is for our herd to thrive and be productive. We believe there are several factors that influence genetic expression beyond our breeding selections. The first factor that we consider regarding genetic influence is “input”. Input like vaccinations, feed, minerals, grass, types of grass, hay, types of hay, etc. Input describes the protocols we follow rather than regional factors and at Four B Farm we monitor our herd’s progress and continually refine our “input” program. The second factor in genetic influence that we see is the environmental influence. These influences are slow to manifest but generation after generation is adapting to the environment in which they are raised. Our cattle, raised in the South, can more easily adapt to the environmental stresses placed upon them when relocated to regions North and West of us. The third factor in genetic influence is often the hardest for breeders, including myself, to maintain. This is the strict culling criteria that the Farm/Ranch/Program must place on the cattle they are producing. It is a very slow, and often painful, process but it directly impacts a lot of different genetic improvements or regression that we see in our herd and in our breed. If you are looking for sound genetics that have the maternal characteristics that are desired in the Hereford breed along with consistently high carcass quality please come pay us a visit. At Four B Farm we strive to make sound breeding decisions that have years of influence beyond each year’s calf crop. We are passionate about Herefords and believe that our success is your success. We pray everyone has a good year as it sure has been one for the ages thus far. Sincerely, Bryson A. Westbrook

From the Field In Passing John Edward Oltman, 78, of New Glarus, Wis., passed away April 9. John was raised on a farm and always enjoyed a view of John Oltman the countryside. He bought Foggy Hollow Farm in 1967 where he raised polled Hereford cattle. John was active in the Wisconsin Beef Improvement Association and Wisconsin Polled Hereford Association. Both he and his wife, Christine, were inducted into the Wisconsin Hereford Association Hall of Fame in 2006. Professionally, he worked at Rayovac for 33 years. During the second half of his career at Rayovac, he led the Zinc Air Department designing hearing aids to be smaller and more powerful. After Rayovac, he founded Key Consultants and worked with battery companies worldwide. John was known for being the author of 50 patents, his sense of humor (especially his puns) and having a beautiful singing voice. He was often asked to sing at weddings and other special occasions, including his own wedding and his daughter’s wedding. Many people comment, “If you couldn’t see John in church, you knew he was there by his singing voice.” He is survived by his wife, Christine; his daughter, Beth (David) Craig; grandsons, Ryan and Tyler; his brothers, August “Sam” (Bessie) Oltman and Roger (Joyce) Oltman; nieces, Diane, Janice, Jean and Jill; nephews, Mark, Kent and Troy; and many great-nieces and nephews. Curtis C. “Curt” Rodgers, 81, of Huntsville, Mo., passed away April 10. Curt was born March 23, 1939, in Curt Rodgers Ottumwa, Iowa, to Stanley and Mabel (Schock) Rodgers. He graduated from Iowa State University in 1960 with a Bachelor of

Science in animal husbandry. In 1960 he entered into the purebred livestock auction business. He married Linda Grinter on May 21, 1967. Over the next 55 years, he sold purebred cattle and Arabian and Standardbred horses in more than 41 states, every Canadian province, the Bahama Islands and Denmark. In 1971 he created the sales management firm North American Auction Co., which he owned and operated for more than 50 years. He also purchased and published Better Beef Business for several years. Curt continued his career as an auctioneer until his late 70s. His influence and leadership in the purebred livestock business were recognized when he was inducted into the Livestock Marketeers Hall of Fame in 2004. In 1981 Curt created Trophy Country, an outdoor recreation business, which he continued to own and operate with his family until his passing. He is survived by his six children: Shannon (Scott) Ockerhausen, Matthew “Duke” Rodgers, Brady (Carey) Rodgers, Clint (Tabitha) Rodgers, Catrina (Brian) Huebner and Kevin (Melissa) Rodgers. He is also survived by 15 grandchildren, Sydney, Hayley, Parker, Shellie, Barry, Cody, Alec, Luke, Jake, Olivia, Ava, Jenna, Winston, Adeline and Scarlett, and other relatives and friends. Cary Charles Childs, 55, of Ripley, Miss., passed away April 18. Cary was the owner and operator of Childs Angus and Hereford Cary Childs and AgriServices. He was the beloved husband of Mary. Cary had a lifelong passion for the cattle and farming industries. He mentored and inspired countless youth over many years through his involvement in the 4-H livestock program and state and national programs. Cary was a dedicated president of the Tippah County Fair
Association for almost 20 years and served on the Mississippi Hereford Association board for many years. He was an avid fan of Mississippi State athletics, but his greatest passion was for his family. Cary was a member of the Spout Spring Presbyterian Church and regularly attended First Baptist Church over the past 20 years, where he was a member of the Agape Sunday school class. Harold F.

Iowa Hereford Breeders Association Bowlin receives Hall of Fame honor The late Tom Bowlin of Indianola and David and the late Liz Larson of Abia were inducted into the Iowa Hereford Hall of Fame. They were recognized during the Iowa Hereford Breeders Association banquet at the Iowa Beef Expo. Bowlin got his start in the industry after purchasing a Hereford heifer from his grandpa. This heifer won the county fair, and after selling her, Bowlin purchased another Hereford to show. He continued this trend until he graduated high school. Cattle were Bowlin’s passion, and he was known to have a good eye for them. He started Middle River Herefords alongside his wife, Dixie. They registered horned Herefords for decades with their six children, who showed for 19 years. The family had many champions over the years. Bowlin served on the board and as president of the Iowa Hereford Association (IHA). When the IHA and the Iowa Polled Hereford Association (IPHA) merged in 1999, he was elected as the first president of the new Iowa Hereford Breeders Association. His legacy still remains entwined with Hereford cattle. His memorial fund awards the Warren County Hereford Champion Heifer exhibitor each year so that exhibitor can go buy the next Hereford…and so on and so forth. Larson receives Hall of Fame honor David Larson and his late wife, Liz, were also inducted into the Iowa Hereford Hall of Fame. Dave became a second-generation Iowa Hereford Hall of Fame member — his father, Lennart Larson, was inducted in 1993. Hereford.org
Dixie Bowlin (r) accepts the Iowa Hereford Hall of Fame award for her late husband, Tom, from Iowa Hereford Breeders Association President Bill Goehring.
Dave Larson (r) accepts the Iowa Hereford Hall of Fame award for himself and his late wife, Liz, from Bill Goehring.
Dave’s parents started their operation in 1952, and he began showing heifers in 4-H. He started his herd in 1970, after serving in the U.S. Army from 1965 to 1967. After marrying Canadian native, Liz, they partnered on the operation with his father. Liz, known as the “city girl,” immersed herself in the operation and attended artificial insemination (AI) school and completed the herd’s AI work. The two were actively involved in the IPHA. Dave served on the board of both the IPHA and the Iowa Hereford Breeders Association. Liz was the secretary/treasurer of the IPHA and also editor of the quarterly Iowa Polled Hereford News and the IPHA directory. The Larsons were among the first Hereford breeders to sell cattle to Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) and received several Gold CHB awards. continued on page 186... July 2020 |
