2014 Demand Dynamics

/ March 2014

A recent exclusive BEEF Magazine readership survey reported a 39% increase in the use of Hereford genetics across the commercial cowcalf industry in the last three years. The obvious effect on the breed has been the massive capital investment felt across the country in privatetreaty sales and record prices paid for Hereford range bulls and commercial females at public auction. It’s been an exciting chapter in the rebirth of the Hereford breed in America, and it’s important to note that all of this revived interest is based on commercial fundamentals. In other words, Hereford breeders have listened to the signals of the marketplace and bred cattle that will provide value to the commercial cattle industry. When the industry said the Hereford breed needed to moderate birth weight, breeders answered. When the industry said the Hereford breed needed more muscling and cutability, breeders answered. When the industry said the Hereford breed could clean up some convenience traits, breeders dialed in, finetuned and made better cattle. Sticking to fundamentals is and will always be important to maintaining relevance in the beef industry. Hereford seedstock fundamentals start with breeders participating in the American Hereford Association (AHA) Total Performance Records (TPR) program and measuring what’s important to the commercial industry. The registration certificate of Hereford seedstock, with all of its information including

pedigree and parentage, expected progeny differences (EPDs), and genomicenhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs) derived from AHA’s research based TPR program, combined with a breeder’s high integrity reputation, is what provides assurance that what our commercial clientele is buying is as close to what is being represented as possible. Predictability of product along with a commercial focus is what’s drawing the rewards from the cow-calf industry.

has been extraordinary, and this year’s national sale is certainly one to put into the record books. Congratulations to the sales staff for putting on an amazing event. In particular, many thanks go to Eddie and Ruth Sims for the 12 years of service they provided in managing the AHA’s Mile High Night Sale. Mr. Sims’ final chant from the Mile High block will be one that’s tough to top. For Hereford highlights in Denver, see Page 47.

Hereford demand dominates Denver

Join us for Directions Summit

The National Hereford Show and Mile High Night Sale in Denver in January truly became a celebration of sorts in support of the recent success of the Hereford breed. I am always amazed at the expense and work that goes into bringing a string of cattle to Denver. Under brutal cold and sometimes unhospitable conditions, Hereford breeders from all across the country travel for days and spend countless hours in the elements preparing their cattle in order to size up their improvements. My hat’s off to all of the breeders and their crews who endured the elements with pride. Your work is being recognized across the country with admiration. The Mile High Night Sale attracted a record crowd in attendance to witness a historic event. Grossing more than $1.1 million was a remarkable feat for the breed. The capital investment in elite Hereford genetics

The AHA Board extends an invitation to all AHA members to the 2014 American Hereford Directions Summit in Springfield, Mo., Sept. 4-5. The Directions Summit should provide a thoughtprovoking and challenging forum on the future trends and opportunities within the U.S. beef cattle industry and how the Hereford breed can position itself for future demand. While the industry teeter-totters on expansion, confronting escalating input costs and facing global competition, we will make an attempt to understand what it is we can do from a selection standpoint that will help our commercial brethren remain competitive. Watch for more schedule and registration information in future Hereford World issues and in eNews. Until then, here’s wishing you all a successful sales season and the best of luck calving those 2014 babies. HW Hereford.org

The records department has definitely been challenged the past couple of months with increased registrations and transfers — not to mention that the cold weather is keeping members indoors catching up on paperwork. However, the ladies have taken the extra work by the horns and have kept the online submissions within a day and a half and paperwork within a three-day turnaround. Thank you for being patient through the snow days when the office was closed. Remember you can always send your member service requests and questions to records@hereford.org.

Registrations Calf watch 2014 has begun. Remember to keep up on your calving records. Calves registered before 4 months of age cost only $12.50 and $10.50 electronically. On that note, if you are interested in signing up to use the new online registry program, MyHerd.org, email your member number to myherd@hereford.org.

by Christy Bradshaw, AHA education coordinator

Q: I have received a yellow sheet in the mail with the following error message: Dam XXXXXXXX is on unbilled Spring 2014 inventory. What does this mean? A: The error message is telling you that as a TPR member, you cannot register the calf until you update and pay for your Spring 2014 cow herd inventory. The TPR program requires that each year, or breeding season, participants must update their cow herd inventories. The Association provides inventory forms by mail or online if members are enrolled in the online registry program. Remember that the inventory fees are charged on a per-head basis. There is a $5.50 fee for each mature female and a $3 fee for first-calf heifers.

Q: I have received the Gold TPR breeder award for Spring 2014. How do I get access to the Gold TPR logo for my sale catalog? A: The Gold TPR logo, as well as other Hereford logos and clip art, is available online at Hereford.org under the Media Center tab. Simply place your mouse over the Media Center tab and click on “Logos.” Right click on the logo of choice to save the low resolution version to your computer, or contact Angie Denton at adenton@hereford.org for the high resolution version. Q: Is there a rule on how old a heifer must be before she can have a calf that can be registered? A: 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 the time of conception will be questioned for accuracy. Q: Where can I go to find out when a Hereford bull sale is close to me? A: Go to Hereford.org; near the middle of the page there is a list of upcoming Hereford events and sales. Click on the link “see all events near you” to search your state for future sales. The events center also allows you to search for Hereford World deadlines, meetings, and junior and open shows. You can also visit HerefordMarketplace.com for access to Hereford sale books and lists of feeder cattle and commercial females for sale, as well as sale results. HW

A Denver to Remember The National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver is one of my favorite stock shows. From the skywalk view of the Yards, the excitement in the Yards on display bull day, the wonderful hospitality in the Hereford suite, the packed house for the Mile High Night Sale, and the intense competition in the bull and female shows, this show is like none other! The icing on the cake this year was the 60-degree sunny weather. I have attended the NWSS as both an exhibitor and a spectator several times prior to serving on the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board of directors, but this year having the honor of wearing the maroon jacket and being involved in all the Hereford activities made it the best one yet.

I had been counting down the days to when I got to reunite with my fellow boardies, and on Wednesday we all arrived in the Mile High City. That night one of our fearless leaders (Bailey) took us to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings. That wasn’t Keysto’s first choice, but our chairman learned quickly that when going to dinner with five women, he wasn’t going to win. Thursday morning, we got up, put on our khakis and our jackets, crammed ourselves into the vehicle, and headed to the stock show. In the car we got our job assignments for the morning and grabbed a muffin and a Mountain Dew, and to the Hill we went. It was a very exciting morning in the barns. Breeders were busy feeding, finishing washing, and, if they were showing bulls, anxiously awaiting the time to start fitting. Keysto, Amanda and I had the privilege of working with Jack Ward weighing bulls. Lots of little kids on field trips and moms with strollers made this a little exciting at times and made us thankful for the great disposition of Herefords. We managed to get the bulls weighed, and we made it to the showring in time to grab a sandwich and to watch the grand drive. Right after the bull show was the junior show, and we hit the ring for one of my favorite jobs — ringman! It’s hard work, but each of us takes this job very seriously as we know

how much hard work and dedication is invested in a show heifer. Friday was the show in the Yards, and, boy, it was a beautiful day. I enjoyed walking through the Yards, visiting with fellow Hereford breeders, snacking in the Hereford suite and enjoying the sunshine. Once the open Angus show was over, we headed to the Hill to set up for the Mile High Night Sale. It was all hands on deck to get all the displays set up for the sale cattle, but we got it done just in time. It is really hard to describe the excitement in the arena leading up to the start of the sale. I was at the sale last year, but being involved in getting the arena ready and then being in the ring for the sale of the Lot 1 heifer with my fellow board members was an unforgettable experience. It made me very proud to be a Hereford breeder. Saturday was female show day. I had the wonderful opportunity to help at the picture backdrop, and I really enjoyed it. It was fun to help get the “perfect picture” and to share with my fellow Hereford breeders and friends the excitement of a successful show. One of the perks of this job was a ringside spot for watching the show and getting an up close look at the new national champions. Sunday, I flew back to Illinois, tired but with some wonderful memories of my first Denver show as an NJHA board member. I really enjoyed being involved in the many Hereford activities at the NWSS and working with great people like my fellow board members, the American Hereford Association staff and fieldmen, and Hereford breeders. If you have ever considered running for the NJHA board, I have two words for you — do it! HW Hereford.org

by Susan Hayhurst, NHW secretary

Q&A with NHW President Carol Priefert This month, National Hereford Women (NHW) President Carol Priefert answers questions about the organization. Q: What is NHW? A: Overall, the NHW organization is comprised of women — mothers, grandmothers, sisters and friends — from throughout the country who raise and promote the Hereford cattle breed through their operations, their communities and their state organizations, the American Hereford Association and the National Junior Hereford Association. They provide leadership and educational opportunities for Hereford women and youth, and they educate cattle breeders and consumers about Hereford cattle. Q: What are the priorities of NHW? A: NHW not only supports our women members and their state organizations but has a special place in its heart for supporting our Hereford youth in various ways. The most significant effort is through our scholarship program. NHW presented more than $10,000 in scholarships to Hereford youth in 2013. This money comes from member dues, donations and gifts

and through NHW’s fundraisers such as our series of art prints, calendars, notecards and t-shirts. NHW also presented awards and leadership opportunities including: the Junior and Senior Golden Bull Achievement Awards, the NHW Heifer Award, the Bud Snidow Award, the Junior and Senior Prospect Awards, the Walter and Joe Lewis Memorial Award, the National Hereford Queen program and scholarships, the Hereford Woman of the Year, and the Certified Hereford Beef Ambassadors. During the annual Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), NHW also sponsors and manages contests to develop skills important to young Hereford advocates. These contests include the creative arts contest; the extemporaneous speech contest; the illustrated speech contest; and the Hereford Grill-off contest. NHW sponsors the National Hereford Queen program, in which young women age 16-21 vie for the title, a scholarship and a year’s worth of travel throughout the country attending shows and sales and promoting the Hereford breed. One of our newest and incredibly successful programs is the “princess tea” hosted during the JNHE. Dozens of very young ladies donned their princess garb and met the 201213 National Hereford Queen and queen candidates and were treated to refreshments, crafts and photos. Q: How do you become a member of the NHW board? A: Those interested in becoming a member of the NHW board may nominate themselves or may be nominated by another NHW member. The board is comprised of 12 women representing four geographical quadrants: Northwest, Southwest, Northeast and Southeast. Each board member serves a four-year term with terms beginning and expiring at the NHW annual meeting in October. Directors must

be current members of NHW, live in the area which they seek to represent and be an active owner/breeder or representative of an active owner/ breeder of registered Hereford cattle. NHW publicizes through Hereford World, Hereford e-News, NHW’s newsletter and its Facebook page when respective quadrants are seeking nominations. Nominations are always due by Sept. 1. We are always looking for Hereford women who enthusiastically want to support the breed and our youth. Q: Why should every Hereford woman be an NHW member? A: Our youth are the future of the industry so what better way to encourage and motivate them to be the best they can be than by joining forces with the organization that supports them so terrifically? We don’t just provide financial resources and activities for them; we stand beside them collectively as mentors and go-to people to assist them in pursuing their passions. Every one of us has a gift or skill that can be utilized at the state and national Hereford levels. NHW welcomes your presence and involvement. Joining this great organization only costs $20. You may contact me at 847-226-5995 or carolpriefert@gmail.com for more information. If you are already a member, I encourage you to check to find if your membership is paid up and to think about how you would like to become active. To learn more about the organization, go to Herefordwomen.com and NHW’s Facebook page. We are an approachable group of ladies who would love to talk with you about how we can make the organization even better. Stop by our tables at events or give us a call. You will enjoy the fellowship with other Hereford women who are just as passionate as you about the breed and giving Hereford youth leadership and growth opportunities. HW Hereford.org

And, personally, Fili says, nothing beats Hereford and the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) product. “In my house, when we serve chefs or friends, the product we serve is Hereford,” he says. “Of all that I could choose, I take home the Hereford.”

/ March 2014

Because of Greater Omaha’s dedication to the Hereford breed and CHB product for 15 years, Fili and his company were presented the American Hereford Association (AHA) Hereford Industry Innovator Award Jan. 17 at the National Western Stock Show in Denver. Craig Huffhines, AHA executive vice president, says the relationship between CHB LLC and Greater Omaha is second to none. “It’s rare that producers can sit down at the business table and talk about supply chain management issues, premiums and

how to get more animals into the pipeline,” Huffhines says. “The CHB staff is locked at the elbow with Greater Omaha to develop retail supermarket and restaurant demand for CHB. This partnership has changed the demand for Hereford-influenced feeder cattle.” The partnership between Greater Omaha and CHB has led to great things for the Hereford breed. And it’s no surprise: Greater Omaha’s dedication to and focus on the client has led to a legacy of quality in the industry.

Building a legacy From pasture to plate since 1920, family-owned Greater Omaha has been known for quality beef products, service and delivery. Greater Omaha employs nearly 900 people and generates more than $1 billion in annual sales. Total weekly production approaches 14,000-15,000 and yields approximately 150,000 boxes of beef and variety meats, which are sold throughout the U.S. and exported to more than 50 countries around the world. “They have an extremely strong export market, with high demand in Asia,” Huffhines says. “Their focus is on buying cattle from smaller farmerfeeders in the Midwest.” Their cattle buyers source Hereford and Angus cattle within a 250mile radius of the Omaha facility. These cattle make up 95% of Greater Omaha’s production. And what a facility it is. Greater Omaha operates one of the most sophisticated beef processing facilities in the country, completed in 2012. “They have one of the newest facilities in the country — a stateof-the-art processing facility — with millions spent on quality and foodsafety interventions,” Huffhines says. The facility utilizes the newest technologies available to remove bacteria during processing, Fili says. In a 12-step process, the controlled atmosphere includes steam vacuums, hot water, acid rinse cabinets and steam pasteurization cabinets. Greater Omaha is renowned for supplying the high-end restaurant trade with highly marbled beef. It also boasts for producing one of the highest percentages of top Choice and Prime graded carcasses in the industry. And since 1999, Greater Omaha has certified more than 1.15 million head of CHB carcasses and sold more than 250 million lb. of product.

Greater Omaha Executive Vice President Angelo Fili says when he chooses beef to serve his family and friends — his first choice is Hereford.

Since 1999, Greater Omaha has certified more than 1.15 million head of CHB carcasses and sold more than 250 million lb. of product. The Hereford advantage Fili says the relationship with CHB has been positive from the start. “When we got involved with CHB 15 years ago, our sales people began to immediately get positive response on the taste and tenderness of the product,” Fili says. “The product has helped market itself. The tenderness and the value at the packing house speaks for itself. It’s been one of the greatest-strength breeds for 15 years.” Chefs who prepare the CHB product also tout its benefits, Fili says. “Chefs have their ways of using olive oil or sea salt — their special seasonings — to make a product taste

good,” Fili says. “But when a steak is tough, it’s the first thing to turn a customer away. Herefords excel in tenderness. And, in turn, our chefs see less complaints from customers.” Fili says Hereford breeders are the No. 1 reason for CHB’s quality. “I think the entire success of the CHB product is the Hereford breeder,” he says. “I can’t add much at the packing house. Beef is the type of product that has to stand on its own. Seeing these animals in the Yards at the National Western, I can see the breeding is working. The direction this breed has gone will help it continue as a restaurant breed.” The camaraderie of Hereford breeders also helps set them apart from the others, Fili says. “The people are so friendly,” he says. “The Hereford ranchers I’ve worked with are closer than any breed I’ve dealt with. They believe in what they’re producing. And Greater Omaha believes in it, too.” Without a doubt, the partnership of Greater Omaha and the Hereford breed is a winning combination — a combination sure to result in benefits for years to come.

Hoffman, Colyer Take Top Honors in Hereford Yard Show Hoffman Herefords, Thedford, Neb., reigned victorious in the Hereford carload show on Friday, Jan. 17, during the 2014 National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. Colyer Herefords, Bruneau, Idaho, topped the pen of three bull show for the fourth year in a row and Dakitch Hereford Farms, Ada, Minn., won the pen of three female show in the Denver Yards. Blake Ochsner, Torrington, Wyo., Kirk Bieber, Onida, S.D., and Paul Bennett, Red House, Va., teamed up to evaluate the Yard shows which included four carloads, 31 bull pens and 17 heifer pens. “I was thoroughly impressed with the depth of quality, and the function and practicality of the Hereford bulls we analyzed during this show,” Bennett said. “If they’re representative of what this breed has to offer, then

this Hereford breed is certainly going to increase its market share and be a serious player moving forward.” Hoffman’s champion carload of junior bull calves topped the scales at an average weight of 1,226 lb., and a weight per day of age (WDA) of 3.60. The group was sired by H Payback 807 ET, KJ HVH 33N Redeem 485T ET, CL 1 Domino 955W, WLB Lego 83T 90X, GO Excel L18 and CL 1 Domino 144Y 1ET. On show day the group posted average expected progeny differences (EPDs) of birth weight (BW) 3.1; weaning weight (WW) 57; yearling weight (YW) 87; milk (MM) 29; and milk and growth (M&G) 57. The group had an average scrotal measurement of 35.5 cm. Reserve grand champion carload honors went to Delaney Herefords Inc., Lake Benton, Minn. The group

was sired by CRR About Time 743, KJ HVH 33N Redeem 485T ET, AH JDH Cracker Jack 26U ET and EPHR Range Ready 938W. The average weight of the load was 1,200 lb. and they calculated a WDA of 3.47. The average EPDs of the group were BW 3.6; WW 60; YW 90; MM 23; and M&G 53. They had an average scrotal measurement of 37.2 cm. Standing in the 2014 pen show spotlight was Colyer Herefords with its pen that first claimed the champion junior bull calf division. The calves were sired by NJW 73S W18 Hometown 10Y ET, K&B Sentinel 0042X and TH 89T 743 Untapped 425X ET. They averaged 1,367 lb., and had a calculated WDA of 3.88 with an average scrotal measurement of 36 cm. The group’s EPDs were BW 3.4; WW 53; YW 86; MM 24; and M&G 51.

ith the sale of the Foundation Female and a pick of a herd, $136,500 was raised to benefit the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) Friday, Jan. 17, to a packed stadium during the record-breaking Mile High Night Hereford Sale in Denver during the National Western Stock Show. Starting the sale was the Lot 1 Foundation Female, donated by Gary and Kathy Buchholz of GKB Cattle, Waxahachie, Texas. GKB 8144 Notice Me Too B19 ET, a January 2011 daughter of BR Currency 8144 ET bred to NJW 98S R117 Ribeye 88X ET, was purchased for $125,000. Hereford.org

The Dave McMahon family of Belle Point Ranch, Ft. Smith, Ark., purchased Lot 19 in the Mile High Night Sale in Denver. Donating the lot was P&R Herefords, Leedey, Okla.

Purchasing Lot 1 was Colyer Herefords, Bruneau, Idaho; Bar One Ranch, Eugene, Ore.; Elm Tree Farm, Paris, Ky.; and GKB Cattle. With this purchase, the Lot 1 females have generated more than $435,000 to support Hereford youth since 2008. “I could not be more excited with what the sale of this female has done for the direction of the Hereford Youth

Foundation of America,” says Amy Cowan, director of youth activities and foundation for the American Hereford Association. “With this bred heifer donation from GKB Cattle, we have raised the bar on our Lot 1 consignment in Denver, and with the momentum generated through her sale in the Mile High Night, we have taken a giant step closer to our million dollar goal that will support future leadership

and educational events like the Junior National Hereford Expo. The donors and buyers in Denver continue to lay a firm foundation for generations to come, and on behalf of HYFA, thank you to all the generous supporters who have made an investment in tomorrow’s Hereford youth.” Also selling Friday night was Lot 19, a pick of 2014 heifer calves born at P&R Herefords, Leedey, Okla. Paul, Maria, Alex and Sophia Laubach, along with Ross Laubach, are owners of P&R Herefords. Purchasing the lot for $11,500 was longtime Hereford youth supporter Dave McMahon and his family, owners of Belle Point Ranch, Ft. Smith, Ark. That purchase brought the total for the night to $136,500 to benefit the HYFA “Growing a Lasting Legacy” campaign. HYFA is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit. Its mission is to support scholarship, education and leadership activities within the Hereford breed.

Excitement filled the arena as Lot 1 sold for a record-setting $125,000.

Mile High Night Sale Grosses $1.1 Million The Mile High Night Sale on Jan. 17 was one for the record books. The stadium floor of the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) welcomed the Mile High Night National Hereford Sale back with a grander red carpet this year. To the astonishment of those who witnessed this sale, it exceeded the inaugural sale held last year on the Denver showring floor. The final gavel claimed a total gross of $1,106,650. The outstanding averages broke out as follows: 38.5 live lots averaged $22,894, seven bulls commanded a $55,043 average, 31.5 females paraded the ring at $15,749 per female, five flushes earned a $10,550 average and 12 embryos completed the sale averages at $3,000 per embryo. The above averages did not include the two Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) females that grossed $136,500. The crowd was a record-setting one with some saying it was the largest crowd theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever seen at a cattle sale. An estimated 5,000 people were in attendance. Topping the sale at $110,000 was Lot 15, consigned by Kolt Cattle Co., Seward, Neb. She is an April 2013 daughter of Golden Oak Outcross 18U and out of the R Sweet Red Wine 039 donor matron. Knapper Cattle Co., Kingman, Ind., took home this prospect.

The second high seller was Lot 13, a quarter semen interest on Churchill Stud 3134A. He is a Jan. 30, 2013, son of KJ HVH 33N Redeem 485T ET and out of Churchill Lady 002X ET. Churchill Cattle Co., Manhattan, Mont., a longtime consignor to the Mile High Night Sale, watched Harrison Cattle Co, Arapaho, Okla.,

and the Stud Syndicate, Manhattan, Mont., bid $100,000 for this outstanding bull calf. The influence of R Sweet Red Wine 039 was witnessed again in the sale to the tune of $82,500. Lot 22, Chez Strawberry Wine ET 204Z, a Sept. 9, 2012, daughter of CRR About Time 743, was consigned by Trent Ray, Abingdon, Ill. Strawberry Wine was named reserve champion polled female at the NWSS and reserve grand champion polled female at the 2013 Junior National Hereford Expo. The trio of Kolt Cattle, Seward, Neb.; Dylan Evans, Lebo, Kan.; and Hirschfeld Farms, Benedict, Neb., teamed together to claim half-interest in this female. Lowderman Cattle Co., Macomb, Ill., and Coyote Ridge Ranch, LaSalle, Colo., consigned Lot 38, CRR 109 Catalyst 385, a March 19, 2013, son of CRR 719 Catapult 109. The Catalyst Syndicate, Macomb, Ill., vaulted to a bid of $74,000 to claim a share of this outstanding herd bull prospect. Buck Cattle Co., Madill, Okla., led Lot 2 through the ring and exited with a $40,000 bid. BK Zeus 12Z, a Sept. 10, 2012, son of CRR About Time 743, was selected by Belle Point Ranch, Lavaca, Ark.

Lot 16, pick of the 2014 heifer calves from NJW Polled Herefords, Sheridan, Wyo., brought $35,000. This consignment has been a popular lot for the Mile High Night Sale for many years. Pablo Martin y Herrera, Buenos Aires, Argentina, placed the high bid this year at $35,000. Rounding out the high sellers also at $35,000 was Lot 23, MCC Amy A582, a March 7, 2013, daughter of LCX Unleashed Keepsake 1110 ET. McInnis Cattle Co., May, Texas, consigned this popular lady that was selected by Derek Humphrey, Dixon, Ill. The Mile High Night Sale featured 32 lots that sold for $10,000 or more, and 10 of the lots gathered $30,000 or

more. This does not include the two HYFA lots that sold for $125,000 and $11,500 respectively (see Page 59). The pictures of this event portray a huge story that is the pride of Hereford enthusiasts attending the Denver show. Many thanks go to the numerous people who make this sale a reality. The bare showring was converted into the sale arena in a short span of an hour and a half. This transformation included rolling the showring, setting 400 chairs, assembling four eighthead carousels, building the sale ring, getting the sound system set, constructing 120 feet of 12-foot curtain, putting down wood shavings for the sale cattle, hanging stall cards for each

of the sale consignments, staging the sale consignments and completing many other chores. Thank you to the American Hereford Association (AHA) board of directors, the National Junior Hereford Association board, the Pennsylvania crew, many AHA members, the NWSS crew and the AHA staff for making it happen. Thanks also go to Jerry Piguet and his son, Neil, for their sale ring expertise. The consignors who brought the good ones are to be congratulated and thanked for making this sale a monumental event. — Joe Rickabaugh, AHA director of field management and seedstock marketing

Thank you, Eddie and Ruth The Mile High Night Sale began in 2003 under the direction of National Cattle Services, Eddie and Ruth Sims, in conjunction with Stout Auction Services, Stanley Stout. With the untimely passing of Stanley in 2006, National Cattle Services took the reins of this event and have made it the envy of Denver today. “They have brought this sale out of the dust to the level of envy among all breeds in Denver,” says Joe Rickabaugh, American Hereford Association director of seedstock marketing.

During this year’s sale, Eddie announced he would be retiring after this sale. “We thank Eddie and Ruth for their superior direction and management of this sale for 12 years,” Joe adds. “It is a spectacle that all Hereford breeders can be proud of.” National Cattle Services was established in 1968. Through the years, the couple has managed purebred cattle sales across the U.S. and Canada. The Sims family has also been active in

the Hereford business since 1979 with all three of their children participating in Hereford youth activities and now their grandchildren. Ruth and Eddie have also been instrumental in the success of the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) fundraising events including “Music on the Mountain” and “The Harvest.” Ruth currently serves as HYFA vice president.

Beyond His Wildest Dreams The 2014 Hereford Herdsman of the Year saw many dreams realized at the NWSS. by Christy Couch Lee

Pictured at the 2014 National Western Stock Show (l to r) are: Craig Huffhines, AHA executive vice president; Daniel Fawcett, 2014 Herdsman of the Year; Brooke Jensen, 2013-14 National Hereford Queen; and John Meents, AHA fieldman.

o be the breeder and owner of the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) champion polled Hereford bull is the aspiration of many. To also hear your name announced as the Hereford Herdsman of the Year? A distant chance. Obtaining both in the same year was only a dream for Daniel Fawcett, Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch, Ree Heights, S.D. That is, until it happened. “I’m still trying to figure out what has happened — I’m just blown away by it all,” he says. “It was just a dream to claim the champion polled Hereford bull title in December, and now it’s true with ECR Who Maker 210 ET. And to win Herdsman of the Year? Many friends have received this award in the past. It’s an honor to be a part of that group.” Daniel was chosen as the 2014 Hereford Herdsman of the Year at the NWSS in Denver. He was selected for the award by his peers — other Hereford herdsmen and breeders — and was honored prior to the selection of the supreme champion Hereford Jan. 18.

A cattleman’s lineage Daniel attributes his success to seeking advice and learning from many mentors in the industry.

/ March 2014

Daniel’s family has a strong legacy in the cattle industry. In 1906 his great-

great-grandfather, John, began raising cattle on 800 acres of prime grazing land in South Dakota. The operation has grown and has been handed down through the generations. In 1985 Daniel’s grandfather, Robert, and parents, Keith and Cheryl, established Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch together. When Daniel was a child, Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch was primarily a commercial cow-calf operation. However, when he was 12, the Fawcetts purchased their first purebred Hereford cattle. Today, the Fawcetts market 100-120 bulls annually. Daniel grew up showing Herefords through 4-H, FFA and the National Junior Hereford Association and exhibited at nearly every Junior National Hereford Expo for which he was eligible. The time he spent working alongside his dad and grandpa was priceless, Daniel says. “They were the biggest influences in my life,” he says. “I think about it often. They allowed me to work the sorting gate and work with replacement heifers when I was probably too young to do it. They taught me work ethic and drive, and were right beside me as I grew in the industry.” Kevin Jensen, Courtland, Kan., says Daniel’s upbringing is one of his greatest attributes. “We see it so often with good farm kids who want to raise cattle and do it the right way,” Kevin says. “Besides showing cattle, Daniel has a passion for raising good cattle and maintaining accurate records. And that’s a real cowboy.” In addition to working at home, Daniel also has assisted some of the leading Hereford herds in the country, including that of the Jensens. And one particular trip to the NWSS when working for the Jensen family will always stand out in his memory: 10 years ago, he worked alongside a gal from Canada named Kari, who would eventually become his wife. After majoring in agricultural journalism at South Dakota State University, he married Kari and returned to the family operation. Today, he is the primary manager of the family’s registered cow herd, responsible for the bred heifer development program and the Hereford.org

breeding program, which includes artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer. He is also involved with the show steers and heifers on the family ranch. Daniel also has an eye for the industry’s elite cattle, having judged state and regional shows on the East Coast, as well as at local fairs and jackpot shows. He and his wife, Kari, now have two children: Hollis, 4, and Ivy, 2. He says Kari is his rock. “My wife is very supportive — throughout AI season, which is sunup to sundown — she’s always there to support me,” he says. And, Daniel says, they are proud to raise their children in this industry, as well. “We want our children to have the opportunity to go out and travel and meet people,” he says. “If they choose to do something else, that’s fine. But we’d love for one or both to come back to the ranch. As long as they are successful, we will be happy. And I’m sure they will be.” Kevin says the Hereford industry needs more producers with this mindset. “We need more young people his age raising families in the breed,” he says. “That’s the secret to survival in anything

Daniel Fawcett (center, tan) was surrounded by family and friends after receiving the 2014 Hereford Herdsman of the Year award, including (l to r): Erin Fawcett, Lane Peterson, Troy Williamson, Clay Duxbury, Cheryl Fawcett, Keith Fawcett, Ryan Ollerich, and Kristin Fawcett.

— not just the Hereford industry — to have young families involved.” Daniel says he is passionate about the Hereford industry for two reasons: the cattle and the people. “You can walk up and down the aisles at a national Hereford show and say ‘hello’ to everyone,” he says. “In some other breeds, they may turn away. I love the cattle and everything about them, but it’s great to be a part of this group of people.” In fact, he attributes his success in the industry to those people — many

of whom he considers to be mentors. And those mentors are confident in his contributions to the breed. Kevin says the beef industry can greatly benefit from Daniel’s contributions for years to come. “He’s undoubtedly the type of person who would be a great continued on page 64...

Tips from the 2014 Hereford Herdsman of the Year Daniel Fawcett, Ree Heights, S.D., was recently named the 2014 Hereford Herdsman of the Year at the National Western Stock Show. He shares these tips for success in the industry. Be involved. “The most important thing you can do is be involved,” Daniel says. “Parents — help your children get involved in the National Junior Hereford Association, 4-H and FFA.” Do the work. “If you don’t put anything into it, you won’t get anything out of it,” he says. Practice, practice, practice. “When it comes to grooming, clipping and fitting, it takes years of practice,” Daniel says. “If someone you admire is working around you, pay attention and learn. I’m still learning and getting better, and I’m 32 years old.”

how you want to be. And surround yourself with people like that.” Be humble, yet personable. “A lot of people don’t notice me when I go through the barns, because I don’t make a bunch of noise,” Daniel says with a smile. “But you must also be able to talk to people, and to listen to them, too.” Never be satisfied. “Stay hungry,” he says. “I believe being satisfied is like giving up. If you reach your goals, set bigger ones and keep pushing yourself. A goal of mine was to win Denver, and we did that. But it doesn’t mean I’m satisfied. To me, it’s just the beginning.” HW

Mentors matter. “Find a mentor — someone you look up to,” he says. “Find someone who is doing what you want to do, someone who is Hereford.org

attribute on the board of directors — whether it be in the Hereford breed or the cattle industry, as a whole,” he says. “He wants to raise cattle the right way. We need those grassroots folks.” Daniel’s father, Keith, says Daniel is the epitome of a true Hereford herdsman. “He is the definition of a true Hereford enthusiast,” he says. “He is an asset to Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch, as well as to the cattle industry.” In addition to learning from others, Daniel has also left his mark with younger producers, as well.

Leaving his mark It doesn’t take long to realize Daniel is a man of few words. His sister, Erin, says his humble, quiet demeanor speaks volumes of his character. “A few years ago, he and I were riding together, checking pastures for newborn calves,” she recalls. “I was babbling away as always, and he was pretty quiet, as usual. I pointed out to him, ‘Danny, you don’t talk very much.’ He replied, ‘The less someone talks, the more people listen.’ He listens to the people he’s talking to, and those people count on an honest, straightforward conversation.” Erin says his selfless approach to caring for the livestock also is a great example for other young cattlemen. “Cattle come first, before supper, sleep, holidays and recreation,” she says. “I’ve seen Daniel on a four-wheeler in downpours, blizzards and extreme heat, taking care of Herefords before worrying about himself. He sacrifices meals to finish a job before dark, sleeps a couple of hours a night during calving season, and frequently puts in 15-hour days. And he never complains. Instead, he usually has to put in a little extra energy toward cheerfully motivating his three younger siblings to keep up when all four of us have reached exhaustion, but the job isn’t yet done.” Daniel’s sister, Kristin, says he has been a great example of a person who enjoys his work. “He has taught me that you are not showing up for work if you love what you do,” she says. “When we are out working, he always seems to find fun in the work we do, and helps instill a love for the ranch life in us.” Daniel has always been devoted to helping his younger siblings succeed, as well, Kristin says. “Danny has taught me about many different aspects of life — from the showring to living life,” she says. “Since the day I started showing, he has never been afraid to critique ‘what I’m doing wrong’ in the showring. It didn’t always end in a smile, but I give all credit to him for the way I present our cattle in the ring.” Daniel is an asset not only to the Fawcett family but to the Hereford industry as a whole, Erin says. “He is wise beyond his years and has a passion for Herefords that comes from the soul,” she says. “Daniel is humble, wise and selfless — a true leader among the Hereford family.” HW

Southwest Beef Symposium Informs Cattlemen New Mexico State and Texas A&M came together to educate southwest ranchers. by Sara Gugelmeyer

wide variety of topics and perspectives were presented at the Southwest Beef Symposium in Clayton, N.M., Jan. 9 and 10. Export markets, sustainability, weather and more were covered at the annual symposium co-hosted by New Mexico State University (NMSU) Cooperative Extension Service and Texas A&M University (TAMU) Agri-Life Extension. After Manny Encinias of NMSU Extension welcomed producers and industry stakeholders to the Clayton Civic Center Jan. 9, the day’s presentations kicked off with information about beef industry issues.

Beef export markets Leann Saunders opened the gathering with a dynamic presentation on beef exports. Saunders is the co-founder and president of Where Food Comes From

Inc., which was formerly called IMI Global. Where Food Comes From is described as “a one-ofa-kind brand, which combines the verification and traceability expertise of multiple verification divisions with new Quick Response (QR) code technology to allow consumers to use their Smart Phone to scan food product labels and quickly access detailed information about the product’s origins.” Saunders is also the chair-elect of the U.S. Meat Export Federation. Saunders’ presentation, titled “Effects of Global Exports on U.S. Beef Producers,” reminded cattlemen that 96% of the world’s population is outside the U.S.; therefore, exports are critical to the industry’s continued success. “We only export 13% of the beef produced in the U.S.,” Saunders said, “but they’re the most underutilized cuts.” She used examples of cuts exported to Mexico being the rounds, shoulder clods, inside skirts

and variety meats. She explained that nearly all of the beef livers the U.S. produces go to Russia (when that export market is open, right now it’s closed) and Egypt. Hong Kong and Taiwan have great demand for beef short ribs. Because these cuts are of little value to the U.S. consumer, exporting beef increases the value per head between $3.50 and $8. “Growth in exports to Japan and Hong Kong helped support the chuck, rib and short plate complexes,” Saunders said. “Bonein short ribs and chuck short ribs traded at record prices in 2013, adding more than $12 per head, while ribeyes and strips were relatively even with 2012.” Saunders said that, currently, the supply situation is helping cattle prices the most but that going forward, it’s important to remember that global brands need more standards and verification because they’re selling to markets that require it. She said opportunities for beef producers

“In the future, the U.S. will need to remain a leader in opportunities for differentiation including: food safety, traceability, animal welfare and sustainability.” — Leann Saunders

Selling:

53 Herd Sire and Range Bulls 27 Open Registered Horned Heifers 5 Open Black Baldie Heifers 15 Fall Calving Heifers & Young Cows Dear Friends and Cattlepeople, The MW Hereford Ranch is pleased to announce plans for our 29th Annual Production Sale to be held on Saturday, April 12, 2014, at the ranch, located 17 miles south of Brownwood, Texas, on FM 45 just south of the Colorado River. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our friends and buyers from previous years that continue to make this sale possible. Our confidence in the cattle industry and the Hereford breed in particular remains strong. We look forward to a great sale with at least a dent in the drought this winter and prospects are pretty good for a bluebonnet spring. We will have 53 highly selected herd sire prospects and range bulls this year. These modern, rugged, range-raised, performance and fertility-tested bulls have really balanced EPD numbers. They represent the best of the Hereford breed and are ready to go to work. We have been pleased with the looks and performance data of our new herd sires and will offer a large number of their offspring in the sale. We will offer 27 12- to 15-month-old, registered horned heifers ready to breed with excellent EPD numbers. We feel their bloodlines represent the best of the Hereford industry today and many could become future Dams of Distinction. In addition, we will also have four 12- to 15-month-old open black baldie heifers. We will also offer 15 fall calving heifers and young cows bred to a number of our top herd sires. As usual on Sale Day, we will have the cattle on display by 10 a.m. with lunch at 12 p.m. and the sale beginning promptly at 1 p.m. As always, we absolutely guarantee our cattle. If you are not completely satisfied, we will make it right. We will be glad to assist you with delivery. Please contact any member of the family for further information and details. Our catalogs will be available by late February. We look forward to seeing you at the Sale. THE LOCKLEAR FAMILY Hereford.org
