World’s Perspective

Faith over Fear

by Diane Meyer

What happens to agriculture without support from media?

Diane Meyer is the editor of Hereford World. She can be reached at dmeyer@hereford.org.

No one knew what to expect, but it ended grandly. In this issue, we are proud to showcase the decorated champions from the inaugural Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City. Starting on Page 43, celebrate with exhibitors as they took home supreme titles, herdsman honors and new genetics.

While #TeamHereford gathered in Oklahoma City, another congregation erupted in Washington, D.C. Our country watched in disbelief as protestors took over the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6. It was hard to fathom, let alone think about its future implications. As I thought more about the consequences, the more concerned I became for what these events mean for agriculture.

Unintended consequences As a news-consuming citizen, the inconsistent reports about the presidential election and the ensuing protests are frustrating. Do articles of merit not exist?

As media by default, I sympathize.

A grade-school truth I learned playing telephone is there is a slim-to-none chance a story gets relayed correctly. Sometimes our most vigilant fact-checking and source diversity isn’t enough; inevitably every writer shares wrong information. This is called misinformation — think mistake.

Danger lies in disinformation, or deliberately misleading content. As Agricultural Communicators Network President Gil Gullickson pointed out in a recent blog, widespread disinformation has confused all U.S. citizens, including readers of agricultural publications.

Losing faith in media is dangerous, for our nation’s safety and agriculture’s future. Our industry depends on journalists to connect urban society and rural communities, helping to ease a disconnect that will never shrink.

What happens to agriculture when our community loses faith in national news

4

| March 2021

because of fear and distrust? In turn, what happens to agriculture without support from national media?

We cannot give up telling our story.

Ever. For the possibility of agriculture making national headlines in a positive light we need to have say in the message.

So start small. Work with your local media to share agriculture’s positives — new technologies, environmental stewardship and a grass-roots work ethic. I think you will find most newspeople appreciate cooperative and informative sources.

In this issue In the name of storytelling, we are honored to share the stories of Hereford breeders who have and continue to make a name in the business. On Page 24, see how Sidwell Herefords, Carr., Colo., is building on 113 years of history.

On Page 36, visit with Travis and Sarah McConnaughy, who have taken the reins at WMC Cattle, Wasola, Mo. We were saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. McDonald “Mac” Bonebrake Feb. 9. His wit and smile will be missed, but his story will live on in the hearts of his loved ones and in the pages of this issue. Turn to Page 30 to hear Mac’s story, which our team will always regret he never had the chance to read himself.

As we enter the heart of sale season, I enjoy seeing sale previews and successes. Congratulations, Hereford breeders, on a job well done promoting your operations. Several breeders have found and sold their next herd bulls using Herefords On Demand, an online tool for building and sharing sale catalogs. Find out how this tool can help grow your business on Page 98. Finally, see how 2020 Hereford sales wrapped up on Page 132.

As we enter spring, I hope your faith in the future is bright and your smile brighter.

Breed Focus

Spring into Sire Selection

by Jack Ward

Select sires to maximize genetic success with AHA resources.

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

It is time to “pull the trigger” on sire selections for the spring breeding season. It is an exciting, yet challenging, time because sire selection affects both your herd and your customers’.

The majority of genetic improvement directly results from sire selection, considering 87.5% of a calf’s genetics are inherited from three sires in a calf’s pedigree (50% from the sire, 25% from the dam’s sire and 12.5% from the dam’s maternal grandsire).

With winter and calving season in full swing, it is important to evaluate your most recent calf crop’s performance in calving ease (CE) and calf vigor. Also assess the performance of your 2-year-old cows bringing new genetics to your program. How did these young cows calve? Have they been good caretakers of their first calves? How is their udder quality and milk production? Are they keeping a good body condition score? Their performance with that of their bull mates can give insight into your herd’s success and areas which need protection when making future sire selections.

Selecting sires Along with the March Hereford World, you will find the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) annual AI Source Book. It features artificial insemination (AI) sires — both up-and-coming and proven.

The AHA provides resources for you to make goal-based decisions.

For instance, some breeders study pedigrees and dive deep into those for decisions; others examine phenotypic

6

| March 2021

measurements (both individual and progeny), while others commit to genetic selection based on expected progeny differences (EPDs), including pedigree, performance measurements and now, genotypes.

I think these factors are all vital to proper selection. The AHA also has one of the most unique sire testing programs in the world, allowing you to make decisions on younger sires proven for all traits of economic relevance.

I encourage every Hereford breeder to build a good AI program. It allows you to incorporate genetics that are not readily available. An AI program lets you make breeding decisions for different cows in your programs. For example, you might want to consider a proven CE bull for your yearling heifers or adding some end-product merit to your herd. With AI, you can find outliers for all relevant carcass traits for you and your customers or identify calving-ease sires. Today, AI is much more accessible to producers because of timed breeding and readily available AI technicians.

As important as sire selection is to a program, it needs to be coupled with a proper health and nutrition protocol.

As you work through the AI Source Book and research sires through all of the AHA resources, be sure to reach out to other breeders and owners. Ask them questions about the sires you are considering. Remember, the sire you select today will have a huge influence on your herd and your customers’ herds for years to come.

Performance Matters

True to Form

by Shane Bedwell

NRSP test herd Simplot Livestock Co. releases 2019-born calf-crop results.

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.

Wow! After the cold blast we endured in early February, green pastures cannot get here quickly enough. Despite the challenges, exceptional sale reports prove Hereford bull demand is strong.

Simplot Livestock Co., Grand View, Idaho, collects complete phenotypes from birth to harvest for the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP).

Table 1 reports the performance ratios of the sires of all 2019-born calves.

Table 1: Performance ratios Sire name Churchill Nightcap 7256E Gerber Anodyne 001A KCF Bennett Sensation B711 ET MCR Flint Hills 10Y 5100 ET UPS Domino 3027

Heifers were managed differently than the cows, resulting in two contemporary groups. For simplicity, a single ratio is reported that takes both contemporary groups into account.

Table 2 summarizes the feedlot performance and carcass phenotypes of the respective sire groups.

Table 3 displays the expected progeny differences (EPDs) of the tested sires.

All in all, these sires delivered a tremendous product, with their calf crop grading 90% Choice YW ratio and 62% upper two-thirds Choice. These cattle were on feed 104 longer than desirable, but true to 101 Hereford form, all converted at 98 slightly below a 6:1 feed to gain 98 (F:G) ratio.

Member Service MyHerd’s Member Statements and Notices

by Laura Loschke

Remember MyHerd.org users do not receive mailed monthly statements and member service fee renewal notices from the American Hereford Association (AHA). Members enrolled in MyHerd get those items delivered to the primary email on file with their membership.

The AHA implemented this policy with the launch of MyHerd in the fall of 2014.

This strategy annually saves the AHA more than $20,000 in postage alone and makes things more efficient for the AHA and members alike. It is one of many areas AHA creates operational efficiencies, which in turn has allowed the Association to minimize fee increases over the last two decades.

Printing records If you need a hard copy of packing slips or monthly statements, they can be printed from MyHerd.

Hover over the “Jobs & Reports” menu, and then select “View Reports & CSVs.” On the next screen, select “Accounting” from the dropdown menu. This will take you to a screen showing all your packing slips and monthly statements. You can click any of them to download and print.

MyHerd users can check the status of their membership and service fees through the “Member Details” tab.

Checking member status MyHerd users can check the status of their membership and any linked accounts by logging into MyHerd.org. Hover over the “Member Details” tab, and then select “Member Dues & Service Fees.” From this screen you can renew any dues or member service fees needed.

Simply click on the line of the membership you want to renew, so the whole line is highlighted blue.

If the highlighted membership needs renewed and the service fee needs billed, the two buttons below the list (“Renew Membership” and “Bill Service Fee”) will become clickable. The button(s) will only become clickable if the highlighted membership needs that particular task.

You can also tell if the membership needs to be renewed

You can download and print any statement or packing slip by accessing it through your MyHerd account.

or the service fee needs to be billed by the columns shown on this screen. The column titled “Service Fee” will read “Billed” if the service fee for that member has been billed. If the column reads “Unbilled,” the service fee for this member still needs to be billed. The column titled “Renewal Needed” will show a “Y” if the membership for that member needs to be renewed. If the membership does not need to be renewed, the “Renewal Needed” column will be blank for that member.

Having trouble navigating through MyHerd? Contact AHA Customer Service at 816-842-3757.

To sign up for MyHerd, email your member number to myherd@hereford.org.

CHB Bites

Which Beef is Better?

by Kyle Caldwell

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

Livestock producers have raised cattle for generations using a variety of different production methods. For consumers, a crossroad at the meat case is deciding whether to pay an added premium for a favorite steak or roast. Unfortunately, many misinterpret health and sustainability implications of major cattle production methods that significantly impact how producers raise beef. One of the most common debates is between grass-fed and grain-fed beef.

A calf’s lifestyle There are a number of differences between these two production systems, but the most important to note is the discrepancy between “fed” and “finished.” Most U.S. cattle are fed grass for more than half their life before transitioning to a high-energy, grain-finishing diet. In contrast, a grass-finishing diet is one where cattle are raised, weaned and finished on grass or a blend of forages.

In the U.S., the majority of calves are born and raised on a ranch, where the average herd size is less than 50 head. While on the ranch, they consume a diet of mom’s milk and grass for approximately six months.

Then, they are weaned and backgrounded, meaning calves are separated from their mothers and start a diet consisting of mostly grass and supplemental feed.

After backgrounding, calves enter the finishing lot to develop “marbling,” or small flecks of fat found between the muscle fibers of meat products. The more

Most grain-finished cattle in the U.S. spend the majority of their lifetime eating grass before transitioning to a grain-finishing diet.

marbling, the more tender and better the eating experience!

Grain vs. grass diets Grain-fed calves receive a professionally formulated and balanced, high-energy diet of ingredients like corn, dried distiller grains, roughages and forage blends.

This diet allows cattle to optimize weight gain while maximizing the consumer eating experience.

Grass-finished cattle are strictly fed a blend of forages. As a result, they reach a desired endpoint weight at a much later date than grain-finished cattle. It can take grass-finished steers 18 months longer than grain-finished steers to reach their peak finishing condition. This represents a significantly greater commitment for feed, water and land resources which is difficult to sustain.

Building on the influence of consumer buying power, a common myth about grass‑finished beef is that it is healthier than grain‑finished beef. While a study found grass‑finished

strip steaks were leaner than grain‑finished steaks, both grainand grass‑finished samples were considered lean, as they possessed fat contents less than 4.3%1.

Additionally, while grass-finished beef does contain higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids compared to grain-finished beef, there were no significant differences in Omega-6 fatty acids or total cholesterol1.

Any nutrient differences between grass- and grain-finished beef are minimal; neither option is healthier than the other. Both are excellent sources of dietary-essential vitamins and nutrients for the human diet.

Concisely, beef is a safe, healthy choice providing important vitamins and nutrients to the human diet. Certified Hereford Beef ® is premium-quality, grain-finished beef raised by local U.S. Hereford ranching families dedicated to producing an exceptional product your family can safely enjoy.

Youth Movement

Challenge Spurs Change

by Wyatt Lawrence

The year 2020 will always be remembered for a pandemic that took the world by storm. It shut down cities, closed businesses and schools, cancelled livestock shows and so much more. Needless to say, many people were happy to welcome in a new year and to say goodbye to the old on Jan. 1, 2021.

The pandemic still plagues the world, regulations are still required in certain businesses and we are still required to wear masks in public places. But, the outlook of society is much brighter than it was last year. I believe there is a specific reason why.

Challenge to success The pandemic has pushed businesses and families to adapt and grow, and it has made us change the way we do things.

Challenges we face in life force

Chairman Montana Lawrence, lawre474@morris.umn.edu Vice chairman Abigail Spindle, abigail.spindle1@gmail.com Communications chair Bailey Morrell, bsmshowcattle5@gmail.com Fundraising chair Noah Benedict, nojo1132@gmail.com Leadership chair Luke Daniels, luke@circleh.info Membership chair Wyatt Lawrence, wyattherf99@gmail.com Directors Brooklyn Adam, brooklynadam113@gmail.com JW Cox, jwcox2009@gmail.com Samuel Lawrence, slfittingservices@icloud.com Lauren McMillan, laurentmcmillan@gmail.com Ralston Ripp, ralstonripp@gmail.com Libby Rushton, libbyrushton2001@gmail.com Director of youth activities Amy Cowan 816-842-3757, acowan@hereford.org JrHereford.org

change. It could be said the pandemic was the ultimate challenge, as it affected every aspect of our lives. We were forced to change how we go to school, how we meet with friends and family and how we conduct business.

For livestock producers, the challenges were endless as packing plants shut down and stock shows were cancelled, leaving many youth wondering what they were going to do with their livestock projects. I’m thankful to say this change was just the start of the story of 2020.

The year began with challenges and ended with many successes.

The resilience and determination of livestock producers and breed associations accomplished things the current situation would have deemed impossible. The creation of new shows and events provided more opportunities for youth to exhibit livestock. This adaptability ensured the growth of the next generation in our industry.

As an industry, we started a fresh, new year with the ultimate victory in Oklahoma City at the Cattlemen’s Congress. In my mind, this event was more than a cattle show. It was proof that no challenge will keep cattlemen from pursuing greatness.

Dream big In all we have faced the past year, the important question to ask is, “What have we learned?” I believe the lesson from 2020 is challenge spurs change. As cattle producers, we have challenges every day; yet many times we come up with reasons why we can’t accomplish them.

Especially after 2020, we all want to take a deep breath and just have everything go back to “normal.”

However, to continue to grow and propel forward in our operations and endeavors, it is important to face those challenges head on.

COVID-19 forced this to happen,

and we need to make sure we don’t get comfortable in 2021.

The beginning of a new calving season and spring bull sales ushers in an opportunity to tackle genetic progress you want to make in your herd. Maybe you have goals to grow your operation, or maybe you are a junior with career dreams that seem impossible. The truth is we need to change our attitude and gain motivation.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic was our motivation. It made us desperate to change the way we did things in order to hang on to those traditions of deep importance to us.

We need to find what our motivation is going to be in 2021 to help us propel forward. We need to change the way we look at what we want to do. It needs to become a necessity. As always, we need to dream big.

Foundation’s Focus

Allow Me to Introduce Myself

by Chloé Fowler

Hello, everyone. My name is Chloé Fowler, and I recently joined the youth and education team at the American Hereford Association (AHA) and Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA).

I am so excited about this new position as associate director of youth marketing and education and want to introduce myself before I meet all of you in person.

California’s cattle country I am from the small town of Ono in northern California, with no cell service, post office or potable water. I grew up on a commercial cow-calf operation with my mother at the helm. Growing up, I was riding horseback on the ranch before I could walk, propped on the saddle horn in front of my mom. From that view, I would point to Herefords in the field and give them names, forever solidifying my love for the breed and industry.

The commercial operation supplied the Hereford-cross steers I took to fair every year through 4-H and FFA. It was also the start of my own herd grown from bottle calves that I took in and nurtured until they were viable producers. My small herd and

18

| March 2021

those steers are one of the main reasons I could afford college.

Schooling and stock shows In college my interests varied greatly, ranging from university student government to livestock show and rodeo event coverage.

One of my favorite memories was my involvement in the Cal Poly Western Bonanza Junior Livestock Show as the marketing manager.

I was so excited about the ability to grow the show and its coverage while improving it for the next generation of student leaders.

Since I was little, the running joke of my school career was that I never called in sick, but I was always gone. In elementary school I was pulled out of class to help with the cows, and it was no different in high school and college. I traveled to events for conferences and work, from the Arizona National Livestock Show and National Western Stock Show as interns to the Western Fairs Association Conference and fairs up and down California as staff.

In 2020 I graduated from California Polytechnic State

University, San Luis Obispo, with a major in agricultural communication and a minor in law. Originally, I intended to be a lobbyist — hence the minor.

However, I realized my love for cattle, shows and events was too large to leave.

The challenge of finding a career as a 2020 graduate plagued my graduating class, and I was no exception. The opportunity the AHA provided with this role is incredible. This role is not just a job amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, but also a dream career within the industry and breed I love.

I cannot wait to meet the rest of Team Hereford at upcoming events this year. Please do not hesitate to introduce yourself, and I will do my very best to remember everyone’s names. Thank you to this breed for being so welcoming, and I will make sure to work my hardest for all of you.

Lewis Brothers’ Legacy

by Dana Pieper

As we learned in 2020, nothing is a given. Now in 2021, we are reminded things constantly change.

Most cattle industry people look forward to traveling to Denver in January for the National Western Stock Show (NWSS). As far as I remember, the 1987 NWSS started as normal as any other, until news of an accident in Kansas made it to the “Hill.” The accident took the life of someone near and dear to many of us in the Hereford breed.

I was only 11 years old that year, but “Papa” Joe Lewis of Alfalfa Lawn Farms was larger than life to me.

Field days and judging contests were regular events, and I remember attending several judging contests at Alfalfa Lawn Farms. In 1938, the Lewis family first hosted their annual judging school that continued for 47 years. One field day and judging contest particularly stood out to me. It was a cold, rainy day, but I have a vivid memory of the hug Joe gave me shortly after we arrived. It was the kind of hug that

warmed you to your core. Now, I’m sure Joe hugged everyone, but his hugs had a way of making me feel extra special.

The beginnings Their story began in 1908 when John Lewis made a trip from Illinois to the Pawnee Valley in Kansas. He was interested in growing alfalfa, and the valley’s fertile soils were perfect. John made the move in 1909, and in 1910 he brought his bride, Bessie, out west. As a wedding gift, John’s father-in-law gave the couple 10 registered horned Hereford heifers, and Alfalfa Lawn Farms was born.

John thought the horns caused unnecessary work, so he dehorned those females and purchased a polled Hereford bull, rightfully named Polled Rollo. John and Bessie’s sons, Walter and Joe, formed a partnership with their father in 1940, after graduating from Kansas State University. The operation became known as John M. Lewis & Sons’ Alfalfa Lawn Farms. Walter and Joe made a great team and were successful because they complemented each other.

Walter was elected president of the American Hereford Association in 1957, and in 1968 he was elected president of the American Polled Hereford Association. Walter made the breeding decisions in the herd while Joe managed the show string where they exhibited 18 national champion or reserve national champion polled Hereford bulls and females. They exhibited six consecutive Kansas State Fair open show champions. The brothers set the standard for the way we show cattle today. Both men were very particular, but Joe was a perfectionist. When the cattle stood

up in the stall, they were brushed and cleaned off, and the poop never touched the ground.

Walter and Joe were both on the judging team at Kansas State University, and both men judged shows nationally and internationally.

Joe was the happiest with a show stick in his hand, and he was always willing to help the kids. It was said that at a show, Joe was the one who turned the lights off in the barn at night and the one to turn them on in the morning. During the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), the Walter and Joe Lewis Memorial High Point Senior Award is presented to a senior for his/her overall achievement in leadership, teamwork, skills, and competition — all traits Walter and Joe exemplified.

Their story ended in 1987. In January, Joe was accidentally run over while assisting a neighbor stuck in the snow. Walter passed away in August. Their wives, Francis and Margaret, conducted a complete dispersal of their cow herd in November.

Balancing Progress and Tradition With 113 years down and forever to go, the Sidwell family of Carr, Colo., sets goals for the future.

by Rachel Gabel

B

rampton Agnes VI, a purebred Hereford cow, ambled off the train in Kansas City, Mo., from Herefordshire, England, in 1908 and became the first female in then 23-year-old G.A. Sidwell’s cow herd. Columbus Regent was added as a herd sire and the result was the foundation of the modern-day Sidwell Hereford herd.

G.A. marketed cattle throughout the 1920s and added Disturber 4th, purchased in Des Moines, Iowa, through a partnership between G.A. and J.E. Biehl. The cowman — who then called Queen City, Mo., home — built a herd and hosted production sales at his home. In 1930, the Sidwell family moved their belongings and cow herd to Carr in northern Colorado, an environment far removed from the humidity and green grass of Missouri. They saw great potential

in the wide-open, short-grass prairie that remains home to Sidwell Herefords today.

On the map The 1940s marked the regular production sales hosted by G.A. and his son, F.A. Staying true to their commitment to raising and marketing good Hereford cattle, the business weathered the Great Depression, hosting production sales in ’40, ’45 and ’47.

It was in the 1940s that E.N. Jeffers’ bull, Prince D109, caught G.A.’s eye. Jeffers, a Hereford breeder in Springer, N.M., refused to sell the bull. That bull weighed heavily on Sidwell’s mind, and after several attempts, he and his son, F.A., purchased half-interest in Prince D109 in 1947.

At G.A.’s insistence, the bull’s name was changed to Colorado Baldwin. A Bud Snidow

Breed enthusiasts gathered for a tour of Sidwell Herefords’ Carr, Colo., ranch in 2018 to view more than 100 years of hard work and history.

Late Harold Sidwell and his wife, Marlene, started the Cadet cow family in the 1970s by breeding descendants of the family’s original Colorado Baldwin bull. A painted portrait of that historic sire still hangs in their home.

painting of this burly horned Hereford bull, which defined years of Sidwell breeding, still hangs in the Cheyenne, Wyo., home of F.A.’s son, the late Harold Sidwell, and his wife, Marlene.

According to an article in the Livestock Journal, about 90% of commercial cattle in the Rocky Mountain West were Colorado Baldwin bred.

Sidwell Herefords was officially on the map.

Staying the course The 1950s ushered in the era of annual sales and the continued popularity of Baldwin-bred cattle as the ranch and the family grew. When G.A. and F.A. partnered with M.J. Diehl to market bulls, their annual bull sales necessitated the construction of a sale barn at the ranch headquarters in 1958. Long before the digital reach of modern bull sales, the Sidwells sold cattle to 28 states and Canada.

G.A. retired in 1959 and F.A. took the reins, and invited his sons, Walter, Harold and Richard, to join F.A. Sidwell & Sons. Hereford females joined the sale lineup and the bull known as Domino Plus 20th was tasked with moving the operation forward.

In the 1970s, the operation restructured, with F.A. and Harold remaining at the ranch. Harold and Marlene bred calves dubbed “Cadets” using descendents of the original Colorado Baldwin bull,

HT Bald Plus 9239 and Britisher 33. The Cadet cow herd was later bred to M&M Advance B216, adding a “Line 1” Hereford influence. Resulting from their successes, the Colorado Hereford Association honored F.A. as the Breeder of the Year in 1981.

Harold and Marlene eventually formed a Harold and Marlene made many partnership with their son, sacrifices to ensure Sidwell Herefords’ Bryan, in 1985. As for so legacy during hard times, such as working off-farm during the ’80s. many producers, the low prices of the 1980s were exceedingly difficult for the Sidwells. Recalling the contributions Harold and Marlene made to the operation, Bryan recalls poignant memories of sacrificing and seeking jobs in town during those years. Still, Sidwell Herefords stayed the course, celebrating 100 years in 2008. With an eye on the future and a century of history, the operation changed again when Bryan wed, and Linda joined the family.

New horizons With Linda — who hails from a Nebraskan Hereford operation — came daughter Brooke Hinojosa. The past National Junior Hereford Association director showed polled Hereford heifers she acquired from Eddie Sims, Elgin, Okla., and Ernst Herefords, Windsor, Colo., as part of the Cattle for Kids program in Weld County in Colorado.

“Those were the first two polled animals on the ranch, and Harold didn’t say much because it was Brooke, and she was truly the apple of his eye,” Linda says. “Harold was the grandfather to her he didn’t have to be, but he chose to be.”

Harold and Marlene retired in 2013, two years after Harold’s induction into the American Hereford Association’s Hall of Fame. Wanting

Step-granddaughter Brooke Hinojosa (l) was the apple to Harold’s eye, and the first member of the family to bring polled genetics to the ranch.

Sidwell Herefords to stay relevant and competitive, Linda and Bryan knew adding polled genetics was an investment in the future, not a lack of reverence for their history of horned cattle. When polled genetics were added in 2018, Linda says it was not without a fair amount of grumbling.

To produce cattle for the commercial industry and the showring alike, Linda says their magic lies in the bulls. She and Bryan sent a retired Harold and Marlene to Oregon to purchase a bull they found at Harrell Herefords.

“Harold got him purchased, but Today, Bryan and Linda balance progress and tradition to breed Hereford bulls he got so wrapped up in it he bought and heifers on the same short-grass prairie their family settled on in the 1930s. himself a heifer and Brooke a heifer,” Linda says. “I think if they had been best set offered in years.

The Bonebrake name has a long history of Hereford cattle and practicing physicians alike.

hen you want to do something, you find time,” Dr. McDonald “Mac” Bonebrake says with a bright smile.

At 99 years old, this witty storyteller is still eager to hop out of the pickup and open a gate. The Missouri native currently resides in Springfield, Mo., but his story began 130 miles northeast.

Growing up in Salem, Mo., Mac was the son of a local storeowner. Despite his town upbringing, Mac’s father, Albert, was passionate about agriculture, and the late Bonebrake sold the family-owned store to buy farmland when Mac was in fourth grade.

The Bonebrakes initially became interested in the livestock industry raising sheep. According to Mac, the family operation made their living, and their fun, selling bucks and attending local and state fairs.

While the family enjoyed raising sheep, Mac recounts, “[My father] was always more interested in cattle and gradually was able to get out of the sheep business and into the cattle business.”

Thus, the Bonebrake legacy began.

Hereford.org

Sheep for a shotgun If you ask Mac, the start of the Bonebrake family’s ties to cattle began on a trip to Kentucky. The business transaction, while seemingly ordinary for the time, makes for quite the story today.

“He traded sheep for cattle, and he also got a shotgun,” Mac laughs while recounting his father’s tale.

The cattle purchased on that fateful Kentucky visit were Herefords, and like the shotgun, which remains in the family’s care, Hereford cattle are part of the Bonebrake heritage.

The Bonebrake Herefords’ logo notes its origin in 1936, though Albert registered their first Hereford in the family name in 1934. According to Mac, the Bonebrake herd was always a traditional, horned herd. Eventually, the operation introduced polled cattle and continues to utilize both horned and polled cattle to this day.

Dr. Bonebrake Mac eventually left Salem to attend college. As he describes, he took a course in pre-medicine and, “It went positively.” With those results, he decided to attend medical school.

“My mother, particularly, was an influence on me becoming a physician,” the doctor says. “I went to medical school and have been very happy that was a career I was able to do.”

Mac began practicing as an obstetrician and gynecologist in Springfield in 1952. Despite his

Hereford.org

career in town, much like his father, Mac had dreams of his own farmland. He purchased land outside of town and started his own Hereford operation while practicing medicine.

Where people are A doctor and a cattle producer, Mac has had his fair share of interacting with people. Like the medical field, the cattle business requires a great commitment of time, energy and people skills. For Mac, the people are what made his work — both on and off the farm — worth it.

“I happen to know and have been associated with many farm families,” he shares. “I have had them for patients. I have had them for cattle-buying customers. I have had them as neighbors. And, I like people. I like working where people are.”

His love for people created his great career success. However, if you ask him, the people surrounding him have made his growth possible. continued on page 32...

Bonebrake cattle were traditionally horned Herefords. Today, the family uses both horned and polled genetics.

Mac’s father traded a few sheep for his first Hereford cattle and a shotgun to boot. The family has raised registered Hereford cattle since the mid-1930s.

“The cattle business is a very stimulating life to lead. Things are always changing,” he claims. “It is part of the change that always keeps it interesting.”

Family bonds As Mac developed his herd and practiced medicine, he established a home and a firm foundation for a family. He now has three grown children: Ann Grace, Dr. Albert (Al) Al (left) learned a lot about medicine, Herefords, family and life from his father Bonebrake and Tom Bonebrake. and mentor, Mac.

Heart of the Ozarks Young couple overcomes obstacles to build Hereford operation.

by Adrian Austin

T

ravis and Sarah McConnaughy of WMC Cattle Co. (WMC), Wasola, Mo., have grown his grandfather’s small Hereford herd to a notable seedstock operation with its own production sale in a decade. Yet, it didn’t come easily. Along the way, the couple faced unpredictable hardships, while learning how to balance family tradition with a modern vision.

Perhaps that is why their family motto has been, “Work like it is all up to us and pray like it is all up to Him.” The powerful moment when their hard work came to fruition is one they’ll likely never forget.

“When I stepped up on the auction block for the first time, I thought, ‘Holy cow… everything we’ve worked for during the last 10 years is fixing to happen right now,’” Travis says.

Trials and tradition

Travis and Sarah McConnaughy along with sons, Jett (l) and Watson (r), work to produce high quality Hereford genetics and carry on Travis’ grandparents’ legacy in the Missouri Ozarks.

36

| March 2021

Travis met his future wife, Sarah, at a team roping. The rodeo sweethearts grew closer after an unexpected tragedy in July 2009, which neither Travis nor Sarah could have predicted. Travis was in a motorcycle wreck, resulting in the amputation of one of his legs at the knee. Sarah, a Michigan native, moved to the heart of cow-calf country in the Missouri Ozarks after the accident.

Hereford.org

Growing up, Sarah roped and showed pigs, horses and a few steers, but she did not come from an extensive cattle background.

“I would consider my upbringing around livestock to be that of a hobby farm, not like the lifestyle that Travis was immersed in,” Sarah says.

Travis was raised on the ranch in Wasola and found a love for cattle and a best friend in his grandpa, Calvin Watson. Calvin taught Travis to produce easyfleshing, maternal cows that generate high-performing calves with minimal inputs. The Hereford genetics Travis’ grandparents built a half century ago are the Most WMC pedigrees can be traced back to Calvin Watson’s herd, who liked easy-fleshing cattle foundation of WMC today. that performed with minimal inputs.

“My grandfather was my hero, and we spent a lot of time together,” Travis says.

That’s likely why Travis recalls watching on crutches from the sidelines as Sarah helped an 85-year-old Calvin tag new Hereford babies and knowing she would become an integral part of the operation’s future.

However, standing on the sidelines was not for Travis.

“They said a lot of people it takes three weeks to finish (rehab),” he says. “So, on the second day in rehab, I had the staff make a list of what I had to do to be able to leave, and by the sixth day I was through the entire list. I told them, ‘I’ve got to go home.’ On the seventh day I got in the car, and I was headed out.”

He says his accident defined his approach to Sarah didn’t grow up on a cattle operation, but when her husband, Travis, life and cattle ranching. Travis doesn’t worry about watched her tag calves with his grandpa for the first time, he knew she continued on page 38...

would play a large role in the operation’s success.

...Heart of the Ozarks continued from page 37

Travis focuses on EPDs and market demands to build upon the easyfleshing, high-performing females his grandfather raised.

the things he can’t change and recognizes the importance of embracing the life he has been dealt and working to make the most of it.

Sarah agrees with her husband’s outlook and says the couple is constantly working toward the future. “You’ve always got to be prepared for what’s to come,” she says. “When we started out together, we had a vision of where we wanted to go. We told each other, ‘This isn’t going to be easy. We’re going to have to sacrifice.’ But the excitement that I feel each time a calf is born, and we’ve been waiting for that calf, waiting for that mating, is the same excitement I felt when I committed to being a part of this family and this farm years ago.”

Travis and Sarah married in April 2011, following the passing of Travis’ grandmother in February of the same year. Calvin later passed in August 2012, and the younger couple was left with the task of running WMC.

Both Travis and Sarah felt it was their responsibility to step-up and take over the cattle operation to preserve his grandparents’ work and the easy-fleshing, high-performance Hereford genetics they produced.

“We had such a huge respect for his grandparents that we knew we had this kind of silver platter in front of us and felt we had to continue the WMC legacy,” Sarah says.

Travis felt he could build upon his grandpa’s legacy by breeding Herefords to increase the operation’s expected progeny differences (EPDs) and selecting them for new market demands.

Today, WMC has grown from Calvin’s 66 cows to roughly 300, most of which are direct descendants from the original herd. Travis’ philosophy is to increase quality versus quantity and to make the bottom-end of the cow herd better.

“Raising good cattle is our number one priority in order to make our living doing this,” he says.

Alongside their sons, Jett, 7, and Watson, 5, Travis and Sarah have stuck with this philosophy and it gave them the courage to start having production sales.

Taking it to the block

“The first Ladies of the Ozarks sale was a goal we had for several years,” Travis says. “We’re both kind of perfectionists, so we worked really hard to get ready for it and that took several years to get to that point.”

Sarah felt having the sale was also representative of a fulfilled promise to Travis’ grandparents, although there were naysayers along the way.

“There were times that we were told, ‘You’re not ready.’ There were times that we were told, ‘You can’t have it out in the middle of nowhere,’ or, ‘You can’t do it here on your farm because nobody’s going to come out here,’” she says.

“So, it was not always easy, but I feel like it was a huge, huge accomplishment.”

There were lots of discussions about where to host the first sale. Several people wanted the sale in Springfield, Mo. But, in the end, Travis wanted the location to be at the home farm for the inaugural Ladies of the Ozarks sale held May 18, 2019. Ultimately, the couple’s commitment paid off.

“When we started seeing vehicles come down the road, I literally just wanted to cry, as I was thinking that all of this work that we’ve put into this is finally going to pay off,” Sarah recalls.

Several people asked how the sale The McConnaughys sold cattle to 13 states and Canada during their attracted so many attendees, and Travis inaugural Ladies of the Ozarks production sale. The sale was a culmination of a decade of hard work. says it was fairly simple — they worked

at it by making calls, posting on Facebook and building a reliable customer base.

“The first sale was such a surreal experience.

It was so humbling to be able to look around and think, ‘Okay, all of those sales that we went to, or all of the phone calls that we made ... and all of these people came here because of us and their belief in the quality of cattle that would be offered,’” he says.

At the end of the inaugural Ladies of the Ozarks sale, WMC sold cattle to 13 states and Canada, with 62 live lots averaging $5,148.

“I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry… I was just in just complete awe. I was speechless,” Sarah says.

Building their own legacy After a successful inaugural sale, Travis and Sarah admitted to being nervous about a second one. At the time, they were unsure of their potential to improve, and then the pandemic hit.

“We were trying to do all the right things to replicate our first sale,” Travis says. “Then, with the uncertainty of COVID-19, we didn’t know if anyone would even show up.”

But, the McConnaughy family continued to work hard, and in the end, they prevailed. The second Ladies of the Ozarks sale, held Sept. 28, 2020, was standingroom-only. Travis’ long-term goal of a bull sale seemed in reach given their previous sales’ successes, so on Nov. 1, 2020, WMC rented out the Springfield Livestock Marketing Center in Springfield, Mo., to sell herd sires.

“We ended up selling 46 bulls to average $3,888,” Travis shares. “We are truly blessed at the amount of interest we had for our first bull sale, and we plan to make this an annual event.”

Travis and Sarah still have big goals and big dreams to chase but raising their family in the Hereford business will always be the couple’s main focus.

“I feel like it goes back to granddad and grandma — we have a promise to keep, that they gave us this and that we will continue to make it better,” Sarah says. “I’m going to do my best every single day to fulfill that, and that’s a goal big enough for me to know that every day I wake up, and I do my best to raise a family that loves each other and loves raising cattle.”

Hereford.org

Travis and Sarah love the Hereford breed and business. They are grateful to raise their children in the industry.

The couple’s love for the breed, Travis’ family tradition and the trials which only strengthened their will have all helped Travis and Sarah create a family operation set to make a lasting mark in southern Missouri.

“I love the Hereford breed. I love the people in the business, and I wouldn’t want to raise our boys anywhere else than alongside Hereford cows in the heart of the Ozarks,” Travis says.

confirmed the renewed interest and definitely showcased the strength of the Hereford breed,” says Shane Bedwell, American Hereford Association director of breed improvement.

After the postponement of the 115th National Western Stock Show, breed associations did not have a location to host national shows and sales.

In a matter of a few months, cattle producers quickly rallied together to plan the first Cattlemen’s Congress, where exhibitors displayed 9,627 head of cattle representing 33 breeds from 44 states and Canada.

“This event is so important to the beef industry, and we are so proud to get it done here in the state of Oklahoma,” says Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt. “In Oklahoma, we’re always going to fight for the ag community and this way of life.”

Enjoying Her Ride 2021 Hereford Herdsman Alyssa Copeland rides for the breed and the brand.

Pictured at the inaugural Cattlemen’s Congress is the 2021 Hereford Herdsman Alyssa Copeland and her husband, Matt.

he would not take no for an answer.

Finally, a hesitant Scott Woolfolk hired the insistent 12-year-old neighbor as a farmhand at Woolfolk Farms in Jackson, Tenn.

Her first day on the job, Alyssa Copeland was on a side-by-side spraying fences. Scott hoped she would make it an hour.

“She sprayed fences for about 12 hours straight that day,” Woolfolk says. “That was her.”

In a few years she could do it all, watching and taking note of every detail. She became part of the family, mentoring Scott’s kids on the farm and in the showring. Sixteen years later, Scott walked Alyssa down the aisle at her wedding.

“I think the most unique thing about her is she has gotten to where she has at a young age, and she didn’t start out with any kind of agricultural background,” Scott says.

For Alyssa, her key to success has always been, “Be loyal to a fault, be honest and hardworking.”

Fortune in a mason jar

Alyssa’s list of mentors en route to Hereford Herdsman is long, and she is especially grateful to the Copeland family for their support. “The people who helped me get here made it mean so much to me,” she says. Pictured (l to r) are three generations: Pat and Cliff, Barbara and Clifford and Matt and Alyssa Copeland.

Growing up in Jackson, Tenn., Alyssa had no experience with cattle until her family moved across the road from an Angus farm. One summer day at church, an 8-year-old Alyssa asked the neighbor if she could help out at his farm. The now 28-yearold recalls, “He told my mom, ‘Oh, this will last ’til Christmas and she’ll be over it.’”

The student-by-day and farmer-by-night learned about genetics and cattle, often running a cotton module builder late into the night. A few years later she began working for the Woolfolks, forever solidifying her love of Herefords and the showring.

Under their mentorship, Alyssa acquired enough knowledge to win the National Future Farmers of America (FFA) proficiency award in forage production. The future farmer, 4-Her and livestock judger ventured to Tennessee Tech University, continued those activities at the collegiate level and was elected Tennessee State FFA Vice President in 2012.

On top of classes and three jobs to put herself through college, Alyssa worked at the university farm and was influential in adding the first Hereford genetics to the school’s embryo transfer program.

“Where I went to college was Angus country, but I made sure they all knew I was a Hereford kid,” she grins.

One fateful day, the soon-to-be graduate headed home to tell the Woolfolks about a job she had accepted. Scott had other ideas. “Do you want to go to New Mexico for three months?” he asked. In less than five hours, the 22-year-old decided to turn down an interim Extension job and move across the country.

Sit tall in the saddle Culture shock aside, Alyssa found herself at home at Copeland & Sons Herefords LLC in Nara Visa, N.M., where it is “only 30 minutes away from a drought,” as the old-timers say. Instead of an eighthead string to prep for Tennessee shows, Alyssa was given 100 sale calves to wash and clip, plus a prediction from her now husband, Matt Copeland, Alyssa is admired by her peers for her success in the cattle industry even though “By the time sale season is over, you’re going to she was not raised on a farm. “You’ve got to build a reputation and start from the know whether you love it or hate it.” bottom,” she reflects. “It doesn’t happen overnight.”

Alyssa did what she does best — worked with a prove-she-can mentality.

With Alyssa’s help, Copeland & Sons has “She’s a true cowman’s cowman, whether it’s raised or sold 15 national supreme, grand and everyday ranch work or in the showring,” Matt says. reserve grand champions in the last five years.

“She does it all at a level that isn’t seen often. She In particular, her favorite memory is winning gets cattle presented to the best of their ability in a premier breeder at the 2018 NWSS in Denver and way that is second-to-none.” Realizing her talents, at the Fort Worth Stock Show (FWSS) a few weeks Matt instructed her to clip a heifer’s show-side, later. That memorable year also happened to be front leg at her first National Western Stock Show Copeland & Sons 75th anniversary.

Through all the victories, she never stopped Ready or not, Alyssa welcomed every task thrown learning or working. her way. “You don’t get better by sitting back and “I’m a firm believer everything happens for a letting someone else do it,” she points out. In her reason. There’s nothing that is just luck. It’s hard experience, an open mind and willingness to learn work,” the showman shares. “The right people are from different people was the best way to figure going to watch you, whether you know it or not.” what worked for her. continued on page 66...

At the “no-nonsense, real-world” Copeland ranch established in 1943, she is involved in all aspects of running a 650-head, five-breed cow herd, from managing breeding programs to checking pastures.

“That’s the fun part — seeing how those calves come out and grow the direction you want your herd to go,” she says. “I think it’s really important for a herdsman to see the Alyssa cherishes the memories made showing with close family friends, like being part of exhibiting the grand business management and champion horned female at the 2019 FWSS with Ty and Kaleigh Krebs.

Turns out, the right people were watching.

Between the selection of the horned and polled champion Hereford females at the inaugural 2021 Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City, the show paused for the announcement of the Hereford Herdsman of the Year.

Quoting Gary Buchholz of GKB Cattle, Waxahachie, Texas, the announcer read, “‘It takes work ethic. It has to be in your heart. It takes willpower, no matter the good times or bad times, to present your cattle to the best of your ability. …

It’s not a man’s world anymore. She has a work ethic like I’ve never seen among young women today. She does it right and with pride.’”

At that moment, the crowd and a speechless Alyssa realized the outcome of the votes cast by her fellow exhibitors.

“It’s really humbling for fellow breeders and past Hereford herdsmen to put me on the list and for breeders to vote for me,” the 2021 Hereford Herdsman says. “The people who helped me get here make this mean so much more to me.”

Where the trail meets the sky The Herdsman honor follows a milestone year for the Copelands. Coming off a supreme champion victory at the Arizona National Livestock Show in December 2019, Alyssa and Matt got engaged in January 2020 and married in November. Her Herdsman title meant just as much to Matt, who accomplished the same feat in 2011. In fact, Matt and Alyssa join the ranks of only one other couple to win the Herdsman award separately.

“Our hearts are in Hereford, and that’s our home,” Alyssa says. “There’s so much tradition and history within the Hereford breed and to join that list of distinguished individuals is a dream come true.”

Her list of people to thank in making this dream a reality is long: her parents, the

Woolfolks, the Buchholzes, the Krebs and Dunklau families of Nebraska, countless mentors in Tennessee and Billy Donnell — her neighbor who helped her learn about cattle and farming those many years ago. Above all, she is grateful to her New Mexico family: Matt, father- and motherin-law, Cliff and Pat, and Cliff’s parents, Clifford and Barbara Copeland.

To her many mentors and friends who have helped along the way, Alyssa says, “When you’re doing what you love with the people you love and where you love being, it’s not a job; it’s a passion.”

Her mindset parallels a quote from one of the Copeland family’s idols, John Wayne, who said, “A goal, a love and a dream give you total control over your body and your life.”

With her name etched in the Hereford history books, the cattlewoman looks to the future. She and Matt are inspired working with the next generation of cattlemen, hoping to motivate them to stay involved in the industry. She also admires established ranches that have stayed at the forefront of the Hereford breed.

“I think one thing that sets the Hereford breed apart is the good cowmen involved who see a future in them,” she says. “They know what we’ve come from and they know where we’re going. Those breeders are working hard to keep us in the right direction and keep our junior programs alive and keep people involved.”

Undoubtedly, the Hereford breed will keep moving forward, with its herdsmen leading the way.

As for Alyssa, she’s going to “keep riding for the brand ” and living by her favorite Chris LeDoux mantra, “Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high; keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky; and live like you ain’t afraid to die; and don’t be scared, just enjoy your ride.”

Alyssa recommends, “If you take everything in from the outside, watch people and surround yourself with the right people, you’re going in the right direction. Having an outside perspective helped me succeed. When you don’t grow up in it, you don’t have one set way of doing things.”

Consistency is Key in Trace Mineral Supplementation for Grazing Cattle

by Caitlin Hebbert

T

race mineral supplementation is easily one of the most confusing, misunderstood and controversial practices across the beef industry.

We know that minerals are not only important, but necessary for daily function and optimal performance.

This is generally accepted and understood through both research and anecdote.

The benefits of minerals are particularly apparent in situations where diets are intentionally formulated for confinement, such as in feedlots and dairies. In those cases where we are feeding cattle every bite they get, consumption of nutrients is known, not just estimated.

What is more difficult is to discern mineral consumption or deficiencies in grazing cattle. Diet selection in the pasture is largely anyone’s guess, especially in a diverse system; so is the consumption of free-choice supplements like minerals.

Are your cows mauling the mineral tub?

I often hear that some producers don’t consistently keep mineral available, because when they do, their cattle almost inhale it, consumption is more than five times what it should be, and it’s not worth the cost. If your cattle are mauling the mineral tub, you might have blamed poor mineral formulation, bemoaned the price, or cursed your cattle for not knowing what’s good for them, or all of the above. However, in most

86

| March 2021

cases, this feeding behavior can be attributed to delivery management of the supplement rather than to a poor formula.

You may have heard that it is important to just keep mineral available — whether cattle are really consuming it at the time or not. While cattle should be consuming mineral on some level year-round, there are certain times of year when they “fall off,” or consume far less than normal. These times often coincide with the start of fortified winter feeding and with naturally occurring fluctuations in mineral availability of forages throughout the year.

These changes in consumption are normal and are representative of the mineral concentration in the diet and of changing animal requirements. But when mineral is not consistently available, consumption becomes unpredictable and extreme. These dramatic swings are not beneficial to the animal or your wallet and can be better understood with simple psychology.

Let’s say you either haven’t had a mineral program in the past or you just got a new set of cattle. You put them out on mineral; they maul the tub and slick it.

In this case, it’s not likely that everybody got to get in a lick or two or 12. Maybe you don’t get back around to putting out more mineral for four or five days, or longer. When you do replenish mineral supply, the cattle that missed out last time are going to be Hereford.org

aggressive and will hoard the tub to try and get mineral while they can before it’s all gone again, knowing that it will be some time before they get any more.

Psychological versus nutritional-feedback behavior At this point, your cattle are taking mineral in by the mouthful due to competition and desperation rather than simply to meet requirements. This behavior will continue if there is never a consistent and reliable supply. It’s a psychological behavior rather than a nutritional-feedback behavior. Cattle in the feedyard act the same way if there are dramatic swings in the volume of delivered feed, resulting in bunk aggression and increased competition. They are simply anticipating limited availability and getting the nutrition while they can. In these cases, efficiency of nutrients wanes, nutritional status declines and frustration grows.

When in doubt, keep the mineral out Contrary to popular belief, if you can keep mineral out consistently through this period of competitive panic, your cattle will learn that mineral is always available and not a resource that will be depleted.

There is the option of cutting your mineral with salt to help limit intake, which I only recommend doing for a limited period of time. These minerals have

been formulated specifically and shouldn’t need further modification in most cases.

If you do limit mineral with salt, do it to reduce this initial hoarding behavior, then reduce the salt content over time while being sure to keep mineral available. Within a relatively short period of time, you should be able to have mineral always available without salt addition and have normal consumption.

It is valuable to you as a producer to have cattle with proper mineral nutrition. It is also good to know when they are under- or over-consuming, but you’ll never know if you don’t get them regulated with consistent delivery management.

Don’t let your mineral tubs get slick. Check them consistently and often, and fill them when they are low. If you’d like more help regulating consumption or understanding the benefits of trace mineral supplementation, contact a beef cattle nutritionist or consultant.

Genomics – Your Competitive Advantage Take responsibility for your customers’ genetic success.

by Jamie T. Courter and Leoma Wells

I

n an industry rooted in tradition and heritage, it is often hard to accept change willingly.

Over the past 12 years, the beef industry has embraced DNA technology. Like a row crop farmer, cattle breeders are pressed to produce more per acre with less input, forcing efficiency to the forefront of every decision. Enter genomic testing. Through data and science, we can select genetics that fit our environment and are more efficient than grandpa could have ever dreamed.

If you compete with others, you may not win. If you compete with yourself, you always win by becoming better.

— Debasish Mridha for optimum genetic gain. Producers unfortunately do not see the effects of a single year’s breeding decision until three years or more after the decision is made. This slow turnaround makes accurate decision-making of utmost importance.

Responsible investing Implementing genomic testing within a seedstock herd is an investment in the future of an operation. It can be viewed as:

• Risk management. Genomic testing

immediately increases a prediction’s accuracy.

This not only means increased confidence in the bulls a commercial customer buys, but it means bulls and females retained on a seedstock operation are bred and managed

• Faster genetic gain. As mentioned, genomic testing provides faster capabilities to make accurate decisions on yearling bulls and replacements. Therefore, “new” genetics get turned over at a rapid rate, resulting in an increase in the breed average for a

of genomic testing are endless, but to completely reap the benefits it brings to you and your commercial customers, you must market accordingly. Not only is genomic testing a potential market differentiator, it is another service you provide your customers.

Cataloging Success Herefords On Demand serves buyers and sellers alike.

by Katie Maupin Miller

S

itting at a computer, Kim Prestwood, 5J Cattle Co.’s beef cattle manager, found his next herd sire 2,800 miles away.

Prestwood browses Herefords On Demand catalogs on the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) website several times a week, and its tools help him locate valuable genetics for the operation.

Using the within and across catalog search features in these digital sale catalogs, Prestwood can locate and study animals excelling in profit indices and expected progeny differences (EPDs). One such across-catalog inquiry led to Genoa 6011 Belle Air 19091.

98

| March 2021

The bull, in Prestwood’s words, was a total standout and precisely what they were looking for at 5J. The beef manager likely would never have found him without the dynamic Herefords On Demand search tools, as the calf was in a sale across the country from his Clayton, N.C., farm.

Genoa Livestock’s owner Bob Coker, Minden, Nev., had not met Prestwood before he called to inquire on 19091 and to request a hard-copy catalog. Given Coker’s ranch is in Nevada, it is easy to see why 5J Cattle Co. was not on Genoa Livestock’s normal catalog mailing list. Luckily, Prestwood’s online searches led him to the herd sire he was seeking when 5J purchased the sale-topping 19091.

This sale is just one example of how Herefords On Demand helped 5J identify cattle to complement their program. Prestwood also located another bull and a few females using the same search parameters from Hereford breeders around the country. He considers the service a great tool.

“I go through Herefords On Demand catalogs on pretty much a nightly basis, at least three or four times a week,” Prestwood says. “It’s very beneficial to me because I can see the catalogs before they’re ever mailed … and you know when you’re looking for a specific thing — such as a type, animal bloodline or whatever fits your program — you can just scan through the search.”

Quick connections The Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) Herefords On Demand online sale catalog production system benefits sellers and buyers alike. The system helps breeders of all sizes quickly and accurately create sale catalogs using an easy-to-follow, fourstep process. With the help of HPI’s Creative Services team, breeders can print and mail those catalogs while also enjoying an instant, online version with expanded photo and video capabilities and easy-to-use search options.

The resulting online catalogs provide potential buyers with “live” EPDs updated weekly and added images and a video supplement for each lot. Search capabilities include parameters for minimum and maximum EPD values, sex, horned and polled identification, name and registration numbers within and across all catalogs posted to the platform. Affordable pricing options are set on a per client basis and based on the number of lots in the sale. Since its launch in the summer of 2019, Herefords On Demand has connected many cattlemen and women.

Bull market Connecting serious buyers, like Prestwood, to Hereford breeders is Herefords On Demand’s purpose.

Chuck Kohlbeck of Storey Hereford Ranch in Bozeman, Mont., used the service to produce a sale catalog for his private-treaty bull sale. They also worked with HPI’s Creative Services team to print catalogs and mail them to breeders in the surrounding states. Kohlbeck received inquiries about his cattle the same day the catalog went online.

“We had more contacts in two weeks than we had ever had right after that catalog came out,” he says. “We even had contacts from people who weren’t on the mailing list or anything just because they saw it on the Hereford webpage. So, we were quite pleased with it and will do it again.”

An online and printed version of his catalog helped Kohlbeck correspond with potential buyers in a timely fashion. Living in rural Montana, catalogs sent through the mail can take more than a week to reach their destination, whereas sending a link to the Herefords On Demand catalog is instant. Storey Hereford Ranch used the online catalog format to highlight each lot with videos of the offering and three photos per lot.

The effects of Storey Hereford Ranch’s Herefords On Demand catalog spilled over into this year as the family has received several inquiries and visits from people who remembered last year’s online catalog.

One catalog fits all AHA field representative Tommy Coley sees Herefords On Demand as a way to put Hereford breeders of all sizes on the map — whether they want to put together a private-treaty catalog that will stay posted for a sale season or a sale catalog to highlight an online or live-auction offering.

“Breeders can market their cattle in a searchable format that gives them the potential to reach the entire membership,” he says.

“Some small breeders don’t have that capability with mailing lists or marketing programs, but Herefords On Demand puts everybody on a level playing field.”

In Coley’s territory, he has seen breeders get calls within minutes of their catalogs going live online.

One breeder even found a nearby bull buyer who had not known about the operation or its cattle’s quality before seeing it online.

“People don’t realize how simple it really is to format and set up a catalog,” Coley says. “I found it very user friendly. I think the biggest thing is just trying it once, and the girls in the [HPI] office are more than willing to help walk you through it.”

Gary Hedrick, owner of White Hawk Ranch in Buchanan, Ga., has used Herefords On Demand since its launch. Not only does he appreciate the added searchability, supplemental photos and easy-to-follow format, but he also likes how the process supplies him with an online and printed catalog to reach his customers.

White Hawk Ranch’s marketing and sales manager James Atkins says the four-step, online input process saved the team weeks of toil on catalog layout and helped increase the Hereford.org

accuracy of their Hereford pedigree and EPD information.

“You put in all your information about your ranch; it gives you step-by-step instructions. Then, it sets up a catalog, which is easy,” he says.

Its usability and accessibility to buyers and sellers of all sizes make Herefords On Demand the easy next step for marketing your operation’s genetics.

I go through Herefords On Demand catalogs on pretty much a nightly basis, at least three or four times a week.

reproductive fertility. Blinders often block downstream market opportunities and target the integrity of the females.

Eric Mousel, regional beef Extension educator at the University of Minnesota, says genetic packages today from all the major breeds are much more diverse.

“Individual sires can be selected from pretty much any breed to match the goals of all variations of producers,” he says.

“I don’t think the target needs to be limited to one end of the spectrum or the other.”

Target Terminal and Maternal Opportunities Select bulls and utilize crossbreeding to capture terminal and maternal attributes.

by Bruce Derksen

R

eferences to terminal and maternal sires still evoke puzzled expressions.

Their ranking of importance to some cow-calf producers’ breeding strategies is still unclear.

Definitions from years ago simply connect a terminal mention with a Continental breed and a maternal one with a British breed.

These breed-based models were common in the 1980s and ’90s, but terminal- and maternal-oriented sires are not limited to specific breeds.

104

| March 2021

Terminal and maternal defined Terminal sire qualities predominantly support traits targeting the feedlot and packer.

These traits include growth, frame size, carcass marbling and yield.

Tunnel vision zeroes on marketable traits that are appealing to finishers and packers.

Maternal sire qualities predominantly support traits aimed at the cow-calf operation: calving ease, birth weight, milking ability, longevity, feet and legs and

Excessive risk exists when bulls are selected close to either side of the terminal and maternal scale, Mousel believes.

“If the calves are only marketed through the local sale barn, it is hard to get paid for the risk taken with a terminal system in this situation. Some years the payoff might be lucrative, but a lot of years, it is a wash.”

Producers selecting predominately terminal traits can let excessive frame size become dominant.

“Cows can certainly be made bigger if that is the goal.

Sometimes, people start thinking, ‘If this much is good, then a lot more should be better.’ Well, not necessarily. There is a lot of diverseness in the genetic pool and the extensive data to go with it, but there is also a happy medium. It is something to watch for and be aware of. Disciplined selection of females is important.”

Likewise, selecting bulls with disproportionate maternal traits also leads to unnecessary risks, according to Mousel. If the focus is filling the roster with maternal heifers, he believes producers sacrifice too much profit, even if they try to hit the replacement market consistently.

“I would steer away from that type of thinking. Always selling replacement heifers might work out two years of every 10, but it is a risky situation. Demand for Hereford.org

those females is all over the board, and it is hard to consistently hit the market for them.”

Consider a basic approach Mousel understands operators need to be aware of their eventual markets but encourages them to take a basic approach to breeding strategies unless they have nailed down a defined market for a terminal or maternal product.

All herds need to meet basic standards including calving ease, milking ability and longevity, no matter where their product is targeted. “As a cow-calf guy, those are the three things paying the bills. Find a genetic package primarily meeting those needs but also achieving some results of a more terminal sire. The difference in calves on balance is probably not great and the risk is lower.”

From the three basics, he advises pursuing traits targeted to where the calves will end up. Feedlot and finishing markets also have basic standards of operation. “They need healthy cattle to grow and grade. It is how they make their money. If I provide them with those requirements and still cover my bases on the ranch with calving, milking and longevity, I’m going to have a product that pays off pretty well.”

Find the most desired traits It is important to think about which traits are most desired for their operation, says Jared Decker, associate professor and Wurdack Chair in Animal Genetics at the University of Missouri.

When asked which traits are desired, Decker believes a roomful of cow-calf producers will provide plenty of different answers, but when drilled down, only one becomes obvious.

“The most important trait in beef production is profit. It is only as traits help us become more profitable that they become important. If we discuss maternal versus terminal, they are two different production systems to be profitable. They don’t have to be antagonistic.”

Hereford.org

When compared, Decker says they generate three distinct flavors of indexes.

The all-purpose index assumes the retention of females, so it contains maternal traits and an influence of carcass and production attributes.

The purely maternal index, focused strictly on traits such as longevity, fertility and milking, is not as common and might be tricky to navigate.

Decker believes many operations underutilize the strictly terminal system. For this option, 100% of the calf crop is marketed as beef; no females are retained.

“What the terminal system allows is the opportunity to take advantage of heterosis with crossbred animals outperforming their straightbred counterparts, but also to map breed complementary. It matches the strengths of one breed with the weakness of a second and the weakness of the first breed with the strengths of the other.”

Cows grounded in maternal traits can be the foundation of a terminal-type herd and sires can be selected for growth, weaning and yearling weights, carcass grading and yield. Decker believes a crossbreeding system can be profitable.

Identify sources of replacement females Females come from somewhere, and he outlines some distinct choices.

Purchasing females from reputable suppliers of desired maternal crosses is an option, although not guaranteed to be obvious and easy.

Decker is aware of large operations using a version of the previously mentioned all‑purpose index with heifers and 2-year-olds bred to all-purpose maternal sires. Resulting heifer calves are kept as replacements.

He notes this could be flipped on its head with the proven cows bred to a maternal or all-purpose bull and their female offspring retained.

What a lot of producers appreciate is the simplicity that comes from identifying animals matching both the maternal and the terminal.

It is harder to do, but when selection intensity is spread out and more traits are focused on, it can be done successfully.

— Jared Decker He adds the Premium Red Baldy tagging program — developed in partnership between the American Hereford Association (AHA) and the Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) — is full of potential. It takes advantage of crossbreeding heterosis value, and also identifies females in the top half of the AHA’s Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) and RAAA’s HerdBuilder Index.

“The combination presents an excellent opportunity to build genetic merit for profit,” he said.

This heifer-only program builds herd foundations around the characteristics inherited from both breeds, such as longevity, adaptability and fertility. The baldies are designed to work in varied environments and deliver excellent longevity.

Operators can purchase reputable, certified genetics in high-quality females providing extensive flexibility when choosing the direction of their terminal crossbreeding program.

Circling back to the original comparison of terminal and maternal traits, Decker believes both can be a part of the plan.

“What a lot of producers appreciate is the simplicity that comes from identifying animals matching both the maternal and the terminal. It is harder to do, but when selection intensity is spread out and more traits are focused on, it can be done successfully.”

Teaming Up with Lenders Experts offer advice to make the most of the relationship with the banker.

A

nyone who has participated in a group sport knows the most successful teams are the ones where the players and coaches communicate well and recognize that the athletes each possess unique talents that can benefit the team.

In much the same way, ranchers who assemble a team of experts to include a veterinarian, nutritionist and a financial advisor often find success that results from the collaboration.

“Building a team of trusted advisors is key to running a successful ranching operation,” says Bob Weaber, Kansas State University beef cattle Extension specialist, during a recent Beef Cattle Institute (BCI) Cattle Chat podcast.

You want to be proactive with lenders in good times so if you are ever in a financial hard spot you have an open line of communication.

— Dustin Pendell 108

| March 2021

Joining in the conversation were Dustin Pendell, agricultural economist, and Bob Larson, veterinarian.

Weaber says farmers and ranchers need to seek input from experts who will give them honest feedback about their goals and financial plans.

“Having someone sitting across the table who gives you good input on your business plan can make your operation stronger and more profitable,” Weaber says.

“They want to loan you money, so a ‘no’ may mean that they want to better understand your plan or perhaps they have another idea that may reduce the investment risk,” Larson says. “So be open to having a back-and-forth conversation with your lender.”

Weaber adds ranchers should recognize the value of the expertise the lender brings to the conversation.

“The lender has probably had similar conversations with several farmers and ranchers in your area, so he/she may have a perspective about what is working on other operations that may benefit you,” Weaber says. “And that can be a real advantage to your business.”

The experts agree it is important to view the lender as an important member of the team.

Pendell says, “Just as you consult with veterinarians and nutritionists for your ranching operation, it is important to recognize that the lender is going to be your strongest adviser on the business side, and so having a good relationship with him/her is important.”

Strategies for success Here are the top strategies when developing a relationship with a lender:

your current financial position.

• Create an arrangement that is positive for both you and your lender.

Lending expertise The BCI experts agree a good relationship begins with informal communication and engagement with the lending partner.

“You want to be proactive with lenders in good times so if you are ever in a financial hard spot you have an open line of communication,” Pendell says. “If they have a good understanding of your finances and future plans, they can advocate for you.”

Larson says a “no” answer on a loan request should not always be viewed as a negative.

• Know your tolerance for risk.

• Have a good understanding of

• Do not be afraid to ask for what you want.

• Respond to criticism by

recognizing that feedback is not always negative.

• Be proactive in developing a long-term relationship by having open lines of communication.

ACT’s Playbook

| by Sarah Beth Aubrey

Hire Right in 2021 Use the interview process to become more intentional about adding team members.

I just returned home from Oklahoma City and — wow — what a great time! Big shout out to the American Hereford Association team who made the event happen.

In the barns, the mood was good; cattle people were so ready to get together. Besides the show, conversations centered around fresh starts. People talked of getting healthy or modernizing their business to protect against external factors.

For the next two columns, I will focus on ways to upgrade your existing operation. First, we’ll cover hiring.

Here are three best practices: 1) Interview everyone before hiring — especially family members.

2) Look for new hires within and outside your organization, including international or nontraditional employees.

3) Use interviewing to find the best fit for a role and the accompanying job description; it is not about pass/fail metrics.

Searching for hires It is not easy to entice someone into farm work, especially today when most people are far removed from production agriculture. The appeal of a labor-intensive job with seasonal hours is diminished when compared to a job with regular hours, a more comprehensive benefits package and a climate-controlled work environment.

Before searching for hires, think about how to best market yourself and your operation. Consider how a potential candidate would see your business.

Begin with an honest gut-check and ask yourself a few questions: 1) Does our farm or business look appealing to prospective hires?

2) Do I offer the best available benefits, work environment

112

or, even better, at an off-site, neutral location like your accountant’s conference room.

and culture I can? If not, are there areas I can afford to change or upgrade?

3) Should I consider two parttime people for one job?

you are interviewing a candidate.

Hold calls, texts and emails for the duration unless it’s an emergency. If that happens, reschedule the interview; don’t try to shorten it because you will miss something essential.

Interviewing practices Once it’s time for an interview, there are many ways to quickly improve the process for onboarding new people.

As stated above, the first step in interviewing is ensuring a level playing field for everyone; no one joins the operation without an interview, and that especially goes for family members.

While you may be excited about bringing a young person back to the ranch, recognize this will immediately change the existing dynamics. You want this transition to be a positive and smooth experience.

Many families make the mistake of not creating a specific role for the returning graduate. Avoid this issue by taking time to interview and matching skills, knowledge and training to job functions on the farm as best you can. Someone returning to the operation isn’t always suited for every job at the onset.

Use the interview process to set some intentional development parameters. Here are a few tips to improve the way you interview:

• Conduct a pre-interview over

a video platform to get the basic details out of the way, such as education, minimum qualifications and start-time availability. If the person isn’t a family member and you’re not interested in going forward, you will save time with this step.

• To reduce distractions and

interruptions, hold the in-person interview in a professional setting, such as the farm office

• Make sure others on-site know

• Consider inviting some

stakeholders or trusted advisors to participate in the interview, especially if you don’t have multiple layers of management in your operation. They may not make the final decision, but they can provide candid and valuable commentary on both positive and negative areas, especially if you are related to the candidate.

As you approach ways to modernize and up your leadership game in 2021, be intentional about adding team members. Experts estimate a farm will invest almost $20,000 (calculated in both cash and time value) searching, hiring, onboarding and training a new hire, even for the lowest-paid employees.

If that person doesn’t fit and leaves the job after a brief time, that’s a lot of money wasted. So, consider putting more time into interviews as a time for both the operation and the applicant to discuss qualifications and past training, and come to a clear understanding of the responsibilities, tasks, compensation, hours and expectations.

From the Field In Passing Jerry Hamilton Dillard, 94, Ringling, Okla., passed away Dec. 24, 2020.

The cattle industry lost one of the great Jerry Dillard ones. Jerry was in the cattle business all his life in his small part of Jefferson County, Oklahoma. During most of this time, he had a purebred, registered Hereford program and later a very successful crossbred program.

He was a charter member of the National Cattlemen’s Association, a life member of the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association, a member of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers and an honorary member of the Oklahoma Junior Hereford Association. He was inducted into the American Cattle Breeders Hall of Fame for outstanding breeding of Hereford cattle.

Jerry also had a love for quarter horses, and he was a lifetime member of the association. At the age of 90, he decided to start up a broodmare program again. Watching the new colts brought him enjoyment as his health waned.

He served in World War II in Japan in the 1st Cavalry Division and returned home in 1946. He married Lavonia Faulkner in 1948, and together

they raised two children. Donna was born in 1949, and Jerry Hamilton Dillard II (Jetty) was born in 1954 and died in 1977.

Today, Donna operates the Dillard Hereford Ranch as Rocking Diamond Cattle Co. along with her five children, Ty, Trey and Trent Hammons, and Barrett and Baylee Butler. Ty is currently the general manager. They operate a program of approximately 700 commercial Angus mother cows.

Betty Lou (Andis) Everhart, 90, Morristown, Ind., passed away Dec. 27, 2020.

Betty was born Betty Everhart on Sept. 8, 1930, in Morristown, Ind., to Hazel Shirley (Pottorff) Andis and Charles Raymond Andis. She was a lifelong resident of Shelby County in Indiana, and always thought of Morristown as her home.

After graduating as valedictorian from Morristown High School in 1948, she worked for Eli Lilly and Company in Indianapolis for five years. On July 20, 1953, she married Harry Ralph Everhart, also of Morristown, at the United Methodist Church, where she was a member and grew up in faith.

Betty was dedicated to her family as a mother of six and loved her life as a farm wife. It was not always easy and was filled with sacrifice but was also filled with love and a large extended family. She believed in making the best of what you were given. Until her passing, she was the rock of her family.

Harry and Betty began farming near Freeport, Ind., in 1955, and their adventure as a farming family began with crops, hogs and cattle.

She meticulously kept the books and records for the farm and beef operation. Raising and competitively showing Hereford cattle was a passion for Harry and Betty. They shared this with their children and made many friends across Indiana and the United States. She was a lifetime member of the American Hereford Association and the American Angus Association.

A lifelong Democrat, Betty loved politics and public policy issues. She followed them throughout her life and believed in the power and privilege of voting. She enjoyed public service and worked a few years in the Shelby County Auditor’s Office in Indiana.

Betty is survived by her children, Katrina (Peter) Hall of Shelbyville, Bruce (Shoshanna) Everhart of Waldron, Ind., Christopher (Kim) Everhart of Arlington, Ind., Cynthia (Bradley) Mills of Fountaintown, Ind., Diana (David) Wiese of Manning, Iowa, and Timothy (Rhonda) Everhart of Arlington.

She is survived by 14 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Harry, on Aug. 29, 2002; siblings and their spouses, Clyde (Marthena) Lindsay of Greenfield, Ind.; Claude (Arbutus) Lindsay, Arthur (Mary) Lindsay and Anna (Jack) Wyatt, all of Knightstown, Ind.; Freda (Lars) Cassell of Overland Park, Kan.; Lucille (Ernie) Wallace of Sarasota, Fla.; and great-grandson Abe Everhart.

Billy also served in many capacities with the STHA, serving as president, director, and secretary for many years.

He was proud to have managed the George West Major League youth baseball team, where he coached his

son, Sidney. Billy loved supporting all his children and grandchildren in their endeavors, including sports, plays and stock shows. He was a lifelong member of the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church of George West.

Among Billy’s professional awards and recognitions are the State Association of Young Farmers of Texas, 1969-1970; Lion’s Club Conservation Rancher, 1973; and Live Oak Soil and Conservation District’s Outstanding Rancher, 1986.

Some of his early hobbies included bowling, softball, fishing, hunting and dancing. After his first retirement, he took up the game of golf. He loved his family, playing cards, high school sports, an occasional pull-tab, listening to old country and polka music, and watching westerns. He enjoyed watching NASCAR and the Badgers’ sports teams and cheering on his Milwaukee Brewers and Green Bay Packers. He loved nothing more than to visit with someone while having a cold beverage and discussing his beloved Hereford cattle and cats.

Every summer, the family would travel thousands of miles to exhibit at fairs and shows.

Gene is survived by his wife, Cheryl; four children, Tracy, Matthew (Melinda), Brent and Lance; two step-granddaughters, Ashlee (John) Duff and Alyssa (Jared) Hentz; two step-great-grandchildren, Kaylee and Avalee Duff; three sisters, Verla Baker, Corinne (Don) Cardell and Nancy Cavegn; and one brother, Allyn (Michelle) Wirth.
