Jack Ward

Keeping an Eye on Longevity and Performance

/ March 2017

The pace has been fast and furious during the first few months of 2017 for the American Hereford Association (AHA). It started with the airing of an American Rancher segment that highlighted the benefits of incorporating Hereford genetics into a commercial program and the benefits Hereford provides through all segments of the industry. From there, staff spent some time in both Denver and Ft. Worth, Texas, at national Hereford shows that provided great crowds, boundless excitement, strong cattle numbers and fantastic sales. The next stop was Nashville for the annual Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show. The AHA and Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) had a booth and hosted attendees from all over the U.S. and from at least four countries to discuss the benefits of Hereford genetics. It was reported there were more than 9,000 attendees that made their way through the trade show, and it was exciting to

see the crowds around the booth including seedstock producers, commercial cattlemen, feedlot owners and operators, packers, and those in the food service and retail business. Nashville has a lot of restaurants that serve CHB, and it was great to get to enjoy some CHB meals and to support these businesses. I would strongly encourage you to contact CHB for a list of those businesses the next time you are in the Nashville area.

Focusing on customers During the Cattlemen’s College sessions, Shane Bedwell, AHA director of breed improvement, gave a presentation on structure and its effect on the commercial cow herd and feedlot performance. Shane’s presentation hit home with many. Hereford breeders have stayed committed to collecting performance information for economically relevant traits and are dedicated to the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program; however, we must always keep an eye

on those traits that keep Hereford at the forefront of the industry such as feet and leg structure and basic conformation that lend themselves to longevity and performance. The industry is in an interesting place because all animal protein production is up, and we continue to build both longevity and efficiency in all industries. As we tighten margins through all segments, it will be important for the seedstock industry to stay committed to producing cattle that check all of the boxes. “He Wants it All” is still the message we keep hearing, and producing the type of cattle that “Does it All,” should be the commitment Hereford breeders have to the industry. The AHA will stay focused on providing the tools and information you need to raise the cattle your customers demand. Each breeder and customer may have a different strategy, and with this in mind, AHA will continue to give you transparency of data, to work toward building new traits, to make profit ($) indexes stronger and to build a genetic evaluation that is robust and backed by pedigree, Whole Herd TPR data and genomics and generated through the most powerful software available. It will be your job to use the tools available to provide seedstock that will make your customers profitable. HW

Steak and Eggs Sale

Saturday, September 16, 2017 March 2017 /

by Shane Bedwell, chief operating officer and director of breed improvement sbedwell@hereford.org

Shane Bedwell

What’s in Your Toolbox? I remember as a kid, I couldn’t wait to get a set of real tools just like Dad. As I went into his shop, it seemed there was every tool imaginable. The basics from hammers and screwdrivers to socket sets and punches — it was all available to make the task at hand easier. But on occasion, there would not be that certain tool needed to achieve the job. So then we would go down the road and stop into Grandad’s shed, and most of the time Grandad would have what we needed. I would often think, How does one acquire so many tools?, because he had everything. Even more impressive to me was his desire to add to his collection. Oftentimes he would have new tools, the latest and greatest, if you will, whatever he could acquire to make the ranch and a specific task more efficient. You see, through experience you gain

knowledge. The knowledge to know what is working and what is not. Being able to make the desired changes and progress, now that’s wisdom.

Bull season tools As bull season is underway and off to a strong start, what tools are you providing to your customers? Are you arming them with the necessary genetics and knowledge to maximize profit? After all, they look to you for their knowledge. But, in my opinion, it’s the knowledge gained from them that can really allow your toolbox to be the best. The American Hereford Association (AHA) offers 15 different expected progeny differences (EPDs) and four profit ($) indexes (see “Profit ($) Indexes” sidebar), all designed to guide producers for profit. Understandably, this array of tools can be overwhelming, just like walking into

Grandad’s tool shed for the first time. But every one of these serves a purpose. Likewise, developing more tools like dry matter intake (DMI), heifer calving rate (HCR) and sustained cow fertility (SCF) are important for the future. All of these are economically relevant traits that can improve your bottom-line, not to mention providing a set of genomic-enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs). Knowing more genetically about an animal early in its life through genomics offers us the opportunity to move ahead at a more rapid pace. We have some exciting times ahead of us. The Hereford breed has positioned itself in a great light amongst commercial cattlemen. I would encourage you, though, to strive further and to keep sharpening that set of tools to keep them coming back for more. HW

Profit ($) Indexes

/ March 2017

CHB$ Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) is the terminal index, so it is developed for producing calves which thrive in a feedlot scenario.

BII$ Brahman Influence Index (BII$) utilizes Hereford bulls in a rotational crossbreeding system with Brahman.

BMI$ Baldie Maternal Index (BMI$) is geared toward producers using Hereford bulls on Angus cows and retaining females as well as retaining ownership and selling non-selected animals on a grid.

CEZ$ Calving Ease Index (CEZ$) is used to select bulls that will be used in a heifer program. HW

MEMBER SERVICE

by SyAnn Foster, AHA education coordinator sfoster@hereford.org

As spring calving gets underway, take time to prepare for stressfree calf registration. Review your calving records before the spring 2017 calving season is over and make sure you have complete calving records. When it’s time to start registering calves, it will be easier and faster to do so if the required information is organized. A great way to keep track of your calving records is with a calving book. The American Hereford Association (AHA) has a simple shirt-pocket size herd book to help keep detailed calving records. Purchase a pocket herd book for $5 from the AHA customer service department or ShopHereford.com. Calf registration reminders:

A signature from the bull owner can be provided on part two of the application for registration or a letter of authorization can be e-mailed or faxed to the AHA customer service department.

calves can be registered. Contact AHA customer service if you don’t have a current inventory to update.

Spring 2017 calf registration

• Dam and sire registration

numbers — Provide complete dam and sire registration numbers. Only Whole Herd TPR participants are allowed to use a herd ID (identification number) in place of a registration number.

An embryo recovery date is required to register an ET calf. If the embryo was purchased, contact the sale manager or owner of the donor dam for the recovery date.

• Type of service — The type of

service is how the dam was bred by the sire. The service type options are natural service or artificial insemination (AI). ›› Calves sired by an AI bull need an AI certificate for registration unless the bull is in the AHA Non-Certificate • Whole Herd Total Performance AI program. Records (TPR™) — Participants ›› Natural services by leased must have the herd inventory or borrowed bulls must be turned in for the season before authorized by the bull owner.

• Embryo Transplant (ET) —

• Tattoo — A calf must have a

permanent tattoo in at least one ear to be registered. The permanent tattoo is what verifies the registered animal to its registration paper. A tattoo can be in one or both ears and can be a maximum of eight numbers and letters. It’s recommended to include the “year letter” to indicate the year

of birth. The year letter for 2017 is “E.”

• Calf herd ID — The calf herd

ID can be a maximum of 6 numbers or a combination of numbers and letters. The calf herd ID is how the calf is identified or known in your herd. It can be the same as the tattoo or its ear tag number. The only rule is herd IDs can’t be duplicated within a herd.

• Horn status — The horn status is the horn phenotype of the calf. The horn codes are as follows: H = horned, P = polled and S = scurred. Note: If a calf has been surgically dehorned, it’s still considered a horned Hereford.

because no two Herefords should be named the same. The name for an unregistered animal must be its combined tattoo. A registered name can be recorded when the animal is updated to registered status.

• Name — It’s the responsibility

of the original owner to name the calf. The name can’t be more than 30 spaces long, including spaces between words. Brands, symbols and commas can’t be used. Names should be unique to each animal,

• Birth performance data —

Remember performance data can only be accepted from participating Whole Herd TPR members. If you’re enrolled in the Whole Herd TPR system and birth performance data is rejected when registration is submitted, the rejection has occurred because you’re currently non-compliant and new information can’t be accepted until all overdue information is turned in.

FAQs Q: Does a performance breeder have to register every calf to have EPDs? A: The Whole Herd TPR system doesn’t require every calf to be registered. Calves may be

reported as unregistered and upgraded to registered status later. It’s important to report all live calves so each cow on inventory is given credit for producing a calf. Q: How much does it cost to register a Hereford calf? A: The price of registration depends on how old the calf is at the time of registration and how the registration is submitted to the AHA — regular paper form or electronic form (online registry or herd management software). Refer to the table below for regular and electronic registration rates. HW

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

Coborn’s Finds CHB a Cut Above Coborn’s, a Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) retailer, is a familyrun business employing 8,000 people company-wide. The growing grocery chain has fourth- and fifth-generation family members in leadership roles and has served communities across the Upper Midwest since 1921. “Our company was founded when Chester A. Coborn opened the first Coborn’s grocery store in Sauk Rapids, Minn.,” says Emily Coborn, Coborn’s vice president of fresh merchandising. “Chester’s motivation was simple: He appreciated the connection his business provided him to the community. He thrived on conversations, building relationships with his guests and being a leading supplier of fresh goods to his community.” Today, Coborn’s has not lost sight of Chester’s original values, Emily says. The company remains committed to providing healthful,

fresh options to its customers, a reason Coborn’s is a proud retailer of CHB. “Nineteen years ago when I started my employment with Coborn’s as the meat director, one of my first objectives was to differentiate our meat departments from other competitors by offering our guests great beef quality in terms of flavor and tenderness,” says Mike Richter, Coborn’s senior director of meat, seafood and fresh. “After months of reviewing multiple programs, we chose Certified Hereford Beef, primarily due to the breed characteristics. CHB outperformed USDA Choice product time after time during the many cuttings we conducted ourselves. Our experiences were also confirmed and supported by the research Colorado State University conducted.” A main focus of the Coborn’s company is to make eating healthful, exciting and easy for its

customers. In order to take the guesswork out of eating a nutritious diet, Coborn’s employs registered dieticians to help put truth to common food misconceptions. “Our dieticians have worked with staff in the meat department to do samplings and recipe demonstrations using CHB,” says Emily Parent, a Coborn’s registered dietician. “The most important part of what we are working on is education with nutrition and versatility. CHB can be an excellent addition to a healthy diet, as one 3-oz. serving of lean CHB is low in saturated fat and sodium, high in protein and a good source of many vitamins and minerals like B-12 and iron.” Coborn’s dedication to the CHB program has proven successful for the expanding company, which now operates 29 stores across Minnesota and South Dakota. Coborn’s provides a daily grocery delivery service to thousands of guests across the Twin Cities and operates Marketplace Foods stores in Wisconsin, various Sav-A-Lot grocery stores, Holiday gas stations, Ace Hardware stores, and Caribou Coffee and Subway locations. Throughout rapid expansion, the consistent flavor, tenderness and eating quality CHB delivers are top reasons Coborn’s continues to sell the product. “We have developed a great working relationship with the team at CHB, but the real value is when we support CHB, we also support many local farmers and ranchers throughout the Midwest,” Richter says. “We take great pride in running some of the finest meat operations in the Midwest and are proud to showcase CHB each and every day.” HW Hereford.org

A New Experience For many stock show families, show season is coming to an end. They have had countless hours of hard work, dollars and thought put into halter breaking, the growing of hair and showmanship training since preparing for the Junior National Hereford Expo. Then, when it’s over, it seems as if they go right into the American Royal, Louisville and Reno national shows. If those were not enough, there are state fairs, Faces of Leadership conference and a lot of the other obligations. For me, going to Denver and Ft. Worth was a great way to end a showing season. Though I did not show at either of these shows, I was still able to be a part of them through the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board. Being on the board has provided me with many things, such as

having the opportunity to be a leader and a spokesperson for the Hereford breed as well as giving me a new goal. Before I was on the board, my goal was to be like the people in the maroon jackets and to have people look up to me the way I looked up to them. Now that I am on the board, my goal is to reach the expectations and high standards that I held for those on the board when I was a young junior. Being able to attend all of the national shows is part of what makes being on the board so amazing. Before I became a director, I had never been to the American Royal, Denver or Ft. Worth shows, and now I have been to all three of them and been right in the action. Denver last year was amazing because I had never been and it was an awesome new experience. This year, I knew it would still be a great show, but I thought it would be different since I had already experienced it — I was wrong. I still got to the Yards and could not get enough of it. I walked up on the catwalk and looked over into all of the pens and was still in awe. Denver is also special because it is the first time in the new year that I get to see my fellow directors on the junior board. People come from all over the country to see the National Western Stock Show. Even if a person does not have cattle to take to the show, it is a date marked on the calendar. It is a great place to talk to producers and to meet with old and new friends. Up on the Hill, I was able to help with bull weigh-in, selling programs and vests, and working as ring help. I was able to talk to every person that got a program whether it was to help that individual pick out a size for a red show vest or to have an in-depth conversation to catch up and to meet people.

meblinson@gmail.com

My favorite part, though, is working in the ring. I get to see the cattle up close and to help tail them in. I get to talk to and work with the judge and to see people ringside as they, not so patiently, wait for the judge to pull each head.

First time in Texas This year, I got to experience yet another first. I attended the Fort Worth Stock Show, and not only that, but it was also my first time in the great state of Texas. From the giant showring to the hundreds of cowboy hats and from walking the barns to walking around the stockyards in Cowtown, Ft. Worth did not disappoint. When I got to the barn, I was taken in by my great Hereford family and felt very welcomed to Texas. I attended the sale and watched many great cattle circle the sale ring, including several pens of newborn calves, which were most definitely a crowd favorite. That night I went to the Texas Hereford Association’s social and got to meet with my advisors and the queens along with friends and my Hereford family. The next day was one of the best days I have had at any show. I worked the ring with our judge, Matt Copeland, along with some excellent ring help — two of our best AHA field representatives. After the champions were slapped on the hip, I was able to see some of the great parts of Ft. Worth outside the barns. I went down to the stockyards and explored all of the shops, saddle stools and restaurants. I cannot wait to go back next year and many years after that. I am even more excited to see what new experiences I gain during my last year on the NJHA board. HW

All Because Two People Fell in Love A wedding gift 102 years ago began this family’s love for the Hereford breed. by Christy Couch Lee

t began with a wedding gift of four Hereford cows and one Hereford bull more than a century ago. And, today, the love for the breed and its people is still as strong as ever. LeRoy Huff of Huff’s Polled Herefords, Rutledge, Mo., was honored as a Century Breeder Oct. 28 at the 2016 American Hereford Association (AHA) Hereford Honoree Reception in Kansas City, Mo. The Century Breeder award recognizes Hereford breeders who have stood the test of time and have been dedicated to raising Herefords for 100 years. The Huff family has overcome hardships and found strength in their century of Hereford

involvement. And, Huff says, the family looks forward to many more years with the breed and its people.

The wedding gift that changed it all The Huff herd began in 1915 when LeRoy’s grandparents, Orville and Lenora McClamroch, were married and were gifted four Hereford cows and a bull by Orville’s parents, Jonathan Longfellow Beal McClamroch and Katherine Bauer McClamroch, who had a Hereford cattle herd of their own. Since 1915 no other breed has walked onto the original homestead. Through the years, the McClamrochs built on the original Victor Domino bloodline, retaining

replacement heifers and gradually building their herd. “During the Great Depression in the 1930s, their biggest fear was that they would have to liquidate the herd to survive,” Huff says. However, the herd and purebred Hereford genetics remained and grew. “My grandparents taught me integrity, honesty and truthfulness — it was just instilled in me,” Huff says. “They were honest, and their word was their bond.” In 1916 LeRoy’s mother, Melba, was born. She married Arthur Huff — a Methodist minister — in 1939. One year later, LeRoy was born. Arthur and Melba established their life and family about 75

miles from the McClamroch homestead, where Arthur was a Methodist minister. But when Arthur passed away from cancer in 1956, Melba, LeRoy and his sister, Arlene, returned to the McClamroch home, living with LeRoy’s grandparents. LeRoy began showing cattle in 1954, when he was 14. “That’s when I really started developing an interest in the operation,” Huff recalls. “My grandfather made sure I always had a heifer to show every year from then on. But that’s the type of man he was — he did a lot of things he didn’t have to do by taking us in.” The original herd consisted of horned genetics; polled lines from Ernest Clarkson were introduced in 1957. Upon high school graduation, Huff ventured to Northeast Missouri State University, where he received three degrees within the college of education. Upon graduation, he traveled overseas on a yearlong fellowship and returned to accept a teaching position in Scotland County, Mo. This job opportunity introduced Huff to his wife, Jane, whom he married after a whirlwind twomonth courtship in 1964.

Huff progressed in his educational career, eventually serving as principal and then superintendent of the local school district. “My grandfather instilled in me: you don’t quit,” he says. And “quit” he didn’t. With the National Association of Elementary School Principals, he spent six weeks in China in 1990, helping to improve secondary education there. In 1989 he had the opportunity to meet President George H.W. Bush. And

now, even in retirement, he works as an educational consultant to the Missouri General Assembly for educational policy in elementary and secondary schools. The Huffs have two children: Elisabeth and her husband, Steven Lonergan, are professors in the Iowa State University College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Department of Animal Science, where she specializes in meat science and muscle biology. continued on page 28...

and have incorporated artificial insemination (AI) and genetic testing as they’ve progressed through the years. “Often, by the end of March, we are out of bulls because of our reputation and repeat buyers,” Huff says. “We try to produce a quality product and depend on that quality product to sell itself. And I believe it does. It’s not been hard to sell them, because there are many buyers who are in the market for Hereford bulls to put onto black cows for black baldie calves.”

Giving back to the youth

The Huff family was recognized as a Missouri Century Farm by the University of Missouri.

Their son, Sean, his wife, Nichole, and their three children — Jessica, 18; Abbie, 15; and Caden, 10 — reside in the original family home. Sean helps manage the cattle operation and works as a computer analyst and programmer for a major farm dealership. Elisabeth and Sean were both active in Hereford activities as youth — both showing at junior

national events and state fairs from the ages of 11 and 9. In 1986 Elisabeth served as the Missouri Polled Hereford Queen and was first-runner-up in the National Polled Hereford Queen competition, as well. Today, Huff’s Polled Herefords consists of about 100 mother cows. The Huffs market bulls, breeding heifers and cow-calf pairs locally

For five years in the mid-1980s, the Huffs served as Missouri Junior Polled Hereford Association advisors. “We were talked into doing it for one year,” Huff recalls with a laugh. “After five years, we said someone else was going to do it.” All joking aside, Huff says his involvement with the youth of the industry has been a highlight of their Hereford involvement. “Meeting so many great people was a highlight of our involvement as junior advisors,” he says. “Looking back, how’d we had the time to do that? I don’t have a clue. But we love working with kids — we wouldn’t have worked in education for 40 years if we didn’t. “Getting to work with those kids and watch them grow and

expand — to see them mature and make mistakes and not be here to condemn them, but to help them grow. Those teaching moments are some of the greatest moments I look back on,” Huff continues. “As adults, we all have teaching moments. We can take advantage of them and grow from them. It’s all about the kids, and taking the opportunities to mold and shape them — to help them understand we pick up the pieces and move on.” As a junior advisor, and as a show parent, Huff says he tried to teach youth about the lessons and benefits of showing beyond the showring. “I told my own children and the youth of the Missouri Junior Hereford Association, ‘Winning isn’t everything,’” Huff says. “I said, ‘If you are showing just to win, you’re in it for the wrong reasons, and it may not ever happen. The families you meet, the experiences you have. Those are the real benefits. Winning is certainly an added benefit — but it’s not the end all, be all.’”

A look to the future In 2015 the Missouri General Assembly speaker of the house recognized Huff’s Polled Herefords for 100 years with Hereford cattle. Huff says his family’s centurylong involvement in the Hereford industry can be attributed to his family’s stick-with-it mentality. “We have passion and love for the breed,” he says. “And we also believe that when you start something, you stick with it and improve it. You also have to enjoy it. You wouldn’t stay in this breed for 100 years if it hadn’t been engrained to love the lifestyle that comes with it. We have a passion and love the hard work that comes with trying to improve the breed with quality breeding stock.” As for the future of Huff’s Polled Herefords? Huff says he hopes his grandchildren will see the value of continuing the operation into future generations. “You can’t force someone to like something,” he says. “You can encourage them, and hope it www.hereford.org

In honor of the Huff family’s 100-year history raising Hereford cattle, the family received a Missouri General Assembly Resolution commissioned by Missouri Speaker of the House Todd Richardson and presented by state representatives from the 3rd and 4th district Nate Walker and Craig Redmon.

catches. And we are seeing positive signs that it’s working on the next generation. We can only hope when Jane and I are no longer involved, the kids and grandkids will keep it going. We’ve made it 102 years, and we hope we can make it much longer.” He believes a life in the Hereford breed can teach a family much about values and work ethic. “It’s a lot of hard work. If you don’t want to work hard, you sure shouldn’t be in the cattle business,” Huff says. “But on the positive: working with cattle can certainly demonstrate what life is all about. We’ve had our fair share of ups and downs. But when you reach the age Jane and I have reached, you can look back over a lifetime and see the good times and the bad. And it’s really exciting to look back

and say, ‘Wow, what a ride.’ Our involvement in the Hereford breed has certainly been great.” A humble man, Huff doesn’t believe he’s in a position to offer advice to other Hereford breeders. “We’ve been awed at the opportunities offered to us,” he says. “I believe it would be inappropriate to offer advice to the great people of the Hereford breed. But I can say, we’ve just tried to stay grounded. We’ve tried to support the breed however we could. Being flashy? That’s not what we’ve been about. But I think success can be found in finding your niche, developing it, and seeing where it takes you.” Yes, this family’s century of involvement began because of two people falling in love. And a love for the breed and its people is what has carried them through the years. HW

Selecting for

Soundness and Extension Specialist Bob Weaber claims the progress has also created obstacles during the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Cattlemen’s College. “I suspect in some ways maybe that’s contributed a little bit of a challenge to us, in terms of now we have so many things to select for,” Weaber says. “We’ve only got so much selection pressure we can apply, maybe we’ve diluted that a little much and avoided some of the selection for traits that have some functional connotation to them that maybe we should think about.”

From the ground up

Industry leaders share insight on the importance of soundness in beef cattle selection. by Kayla M. Wilkins

istorically, the cattle industry was almost entirely driven by phenotypic selection alone. Cattle producers weighed selection heavily on structural evaluation because it was the primary tool available. The progressive nature of the industry has resulted in a shift in the selection process over the last few decades. Today, genomic data are a major player when it comes to selecting seedstock and females for a productive herd. Although this progression has been a positive addition, Kansas State University Associate Professor

/ March 2017

While using expected progeny differences (EPDs) for selection is a proven valuable tool available to producers, it is important to not neglect the value in visually evaluating potential seedstock for foundational soundness. “I think the set of the hock and the angle of the shoulder, fundamentally, are two things to understand and are very important to look at,” says Shane Bedwell, American Hereford Association (AHA) chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. “Ultimately, they can effect the size of the foot, and the shape of the foot.” Starting from the front, Bedwell says, the angle from the top of the shoulder to the point of the shoulder and from the point of the shoulder to the elbow should ideally be sloped at 45 degrees — or fairly close. When the angle exceeds the 45-degree threshold, problems can occur. “Those animals are too straight in their front end,” he notes. “They

lose mobility, and what’s going to happen is the front toes are going to grind down because they’re not wearing down correctly.” For Bedwell, the rear structure is just as important as the front particularly when selecting breeding stock. He says maintaining a 45-degree angle from the top of the hip bone to the point of the hock aids in creating longevity within a herd. A fundamental piece Bedwell says is sometimes overlooked, but crucial, is heel depth. When evaluating yearling bulls to take home and put on cows, Bedwell highly advises producers to take heel depth into consideration — especially from a longevity standpoint. “If there’s not enough depth of heel and strength in the pasture, what happens to this foot? It starts to grow out,” he explains. “If we don’t have the right foundation, the right depth of heel here, we’re going to run into some serious problems.” Keeping phenotypic evaluation in mind, Bedwell advises producers to use the best combination of resources for them from a genotypic and phenotypic standpoint. “We’ve got to do a better job of selecting those animals — of selecting breeding cattle that don’t have those problems,” he says. “I know some of it is environment and some of it’s genetic. I’m excited being able to see some of these different EPDs come out.”

Looking ahead As scientists continue conducting research to best develop selection tools for the producer, the phenotypic structure component has been receiving some attention. Hereford.org

“The good news is from a breeding genetics standpoint, we have a real opportunity to make some selection progress from these traits,” Weaber says. “One of the obvious questions is why do we need genetic improvement tools for feet and leg traits?” On the forefront of reasons for this expansion of research are welfare and economics. On the economic side, there is a financial penalty associated with buying an unsound bull. “If you buy a $4,000 or $5,000 yearling bull and next year he isn’t breeding the cows because he’s got bad front feet, that’s a big problem,” Weaber explains. “I think there’s some pretty clear data that lots of productivity and soundness are certainly good motivators to think about improving the structural capabilities of our seedstock.” Moving forward, a selection index incorporating feet and leg structure is not far away. In fact, there has already been dramatic progress in developing those tools, and there is the prospect for even more genetic improvement in this area. For instance, the dairy industry has done a lot of work with feet and leg structure as it is related to extended longevity. Weaber says the progress in the dairy industry has translated to the beef industry. Australian Angus has been working toward determining the inheritability of structural traits in recent years, and his team at Kansas State is expanding upon that idea. “We want to look at culling data in association with other production traits, as they relate to these feet and leg characteristics — also growth rates, dense data recording and post screening gains,” he notes. “How those are developed certainly has an impact on their long-term stability and performance in terms of feet and leg structure — ultimately breeding soundness. We plan to look at that as well and incorporate some genomics work when we can.” Hereford.org

Facing disease Although the majority of issues with structure are restricted to the selection process, there are a few conditions related to disease or the environment that producers should be cognizant of. Jan Shearer, professor and Extension veterinarian in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University, says sometimes these conditions pose a challenge because they are a result of either a disease or the environment, but learning to distinguish between the two is key. Toward the top of the list of problems to look for is laminitis. Generally speaking, he says laminitis is anything weakening the suspensory system — sometimes caused by supplying an unbalanced ration. However, among structural conditions in cattle, the most important is foot rot. He describes it as severe, necrotic lesions in the inner digital skin. A cardinal sign of the condition is generalized swelling of the foot — different from what is seen in a claw lesion. “It’s very important to make that distinction,” he notes, “because this one we can treat if we get to it early enough with antibiotics and in most cases be successful in managing it.” In contrast, a complicated claw lesion can be a result of a foreign body lodged in the inter-digital area. It is critical for producers to evaluate these conditions fully to assure the diagnosis is correct for treatment. Making the wrong call on the diagnosis could result in a fatal ending. In bulls specifically, Shearer says there are chronic claw lesions producers need to be aware of. Screw claw is a condition in which there is uneven weight bearing, and as a result the hooves become overgrown, twisted and very abnormal. Trimming is the best way to correct the issue, but even then, Shearer says the condition will reoccur down the road. “These will come back within six months, six to eight or maybe

12 months if we’re very lucky,” he explains. “This is one of the problems with scissor claw, or screw claw. It can lead to some very, very serious kinds of conditions that in many cases are career ending lesions for these animals.” The last condition Shearer recommends producers keep an eye out for is white line disease. It is a very common condition in which the hoof wall begins separating from the sole. When separation happens, bacteria invade the separation. Shearer says this condition can progress into an infection and later an abscess. Properly diagnosing and treating conditions like this and others is vital to a cattle operation’s productivity, so it is critical they be taken seriously. “It’s so important, when we have these kinds of things in bulls and cows, to get to them early on,” he stresses. “Because if not, they’re going to cause an awful lot of damage to those structures.” HW

Douthit families named 2017 Friend of the National Western by Rachel Metzger The Douthit families are no strangers to the National Western Stock Show (NWSS). The St. Francis, Kan., natives have been coming to the historic show for 74 years. This year marks an especially unique trip to Denver as the Douthit families, represented by Douthit Herefords and 4V Ranch Douthit Herefords, were recognized as the Friend of the National Western Jan. 12, by the Red Meat Club of Denver. “It was kind of a shock,” says Megan Douthit Downey, a fourth-generation Hereford breeder. “My dad, Walter, is the one who really deserves it. He is going to be 79 this year, and he has spent 74 years [in Denver].” Frank and Mary Douthit settled in northwest Kansas in the 1930s, and shortly thereafter sons Jim and Thad bought the family’s first hereford bull. Downey says her family chose to raise Hereford cattle due to their hardiness and the longevity of Hereford females. After Thad turned to commercial operations in the 1970s, the Douthit Herefords tradition continued under brother Jim and his three sons, Walter, Roger, and Steve, who took over as partners in 1984. Primarily for estate planning purposes, in 2008 the brothers dissolved their partnership. While Roger turned to running commercial cattle after that, Walter and Steve continued the seedstock operation as Douthit Herefords and 4V Ranch Douthit Herefords, respectively. The brothers at the time divided the Douthit cowherd on a lottery basis. Today, the fourth generation of the family is actively managing both operations. Roger passed in 2013, and Steve was lost in a tragic farming accident in the fall of 2015. The 4V Ranch is guided today by the family of Steve and his wife Melva, including their children Ana, Erica, Margo, Courtney and Thomas, their sons-in-laws Tyler Enfield and Matt Gattshall and their grandsons Zarik and Quade. Walter, his daughter Megan and her husband Chuck Downey direct operations at Douthit Herefords. Though the family has been coming to the NWSS for 74 years, Downey says the show has changed since her grandfather and father began making the trek to Denver. “When it started, they came here for the entire show and they would bring 30 bulls,” she says. “It was totally different back then.”

/ March 2017

Today, the family continues the tradition for several reasons. “It offers a lot to come,” Downey says. “We always say it is hard to put a value on coming. It costs a ton of money to come out here and to bring the cattle, get them ready and have the help. A lot of it is the marketing and promoting the program, but we’ve always said too that a lot of it is the friends you make.” Those friendships forged at the NWSS have allowed the Douthit family to explore different genetics throughout the breed, and the ability to visit with other producers about what is and is not working in their programs. Customer service is something the Douthit family takes to heart. Growing up, Downey says her father always taught her honesty and integrity goes a long way. “I think those values and traditions of treating your customers right and, as the cattle change, you have to evolve with what your customers say,” she says. “Honestly, our program goes toward what our customers need; we really try to listen to them.” As a longstanding seedstock operation, being flexible to customer needs has kept the Douthit family in business and has kept them coming back to Denver each year. “For our customers from Mexico to Virginia to the high mountains, our bulls work,” Downey says. “It keeps them coming back and it keeps us coming back.” HW

Hard Work and a

Little Luck Jeremy Reno, Orovada, Nev., was honored as Hereford Herdsman of the Year. by Rachel Metzger

gift heifer from his grandmother and a county fair sparked a lifelong passion and career for 2017 Hereford Herdsman of the Year Jeremy Reno, Orovada, Nev. “Everybody is going to say it is an honor and humbling, and I agree with that,” he says. “But there are a lot of farms that do not ever bring cattle to Denver who might not be recognized that have great cattlemen.” The Jay, Okla., native, known by his friends as only “Reno,” was selected by his peers — other Hereford herdsmen and breeders — and was honored prior to the selection of grand champion polled and horned females Jan. 14 at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver.

A start in the industry From the gift of a heifer, Reno spent his early years in the cattle industry

Hereford Herdsman of the Year Jeremy Reno says he enjoys showing but finds work at home preparing the most rewarding.

showing a variety of breeds, and as he was growing up his passion for cattle came from spending time at his cousin’s veterinary clinic. “I grew up hanging around the vet clinic,” he says. “Hanging around the doctors instilled a love in me for animals and taking care of them.” Today, Reno runs a small herd of 50-60 cows and raises a handful of fall-born show steers. In addition to his personal operation, Reno serves as herdsman for Brumley Farms in Orovada, Nev. Reno started working with the Brumley family more than eight years ago through an event of “dumb luck,” he says. Reno says he worked with a friend from California who sold steers to the Brumley family and happened to come to a jackpot show where the Brumleys were exhibiting. They met Reno at the show, and the rest is history.

A love of the job Today, Reno has a variety of responsibilities at Brumley Farms, including checking cows and calves, working with the show cattle, and traveling to shows around the country. “Reno is very hardworking,” says Skeeter Brumley of Brumley Farms. “He is always willing to get the job done no matter what it is. He is very thorough in everything he does and he is very loyal. He is always where he needs to be when we need him to be. He always does things 150% and always goes above and beyond.” Reno credits his work ethic to spending time with his father and cousin working cattle. “My dad worked for my cousin on the weekends and I would go work cows with them,” Reno says. “They instilled a work ethic in me that was second-to-none.” Reno says he enjoys showing but enjoys the work at home the most. “With all the hours spent in the barn, it is gratifying when you do win a show,” he says. “I am there by myself most of the time. It is peaceful and you can enjoy the cows. It is just me and them. I enjoy the work at home, because you do not win at the show. You win at home.” Kari Brumley, Don and Skeeter’s daughter, says Reno is always the first to lend a hand when something needs to be done around the barn. One of her favorite memories of Reno dates back to a few years after he started working with the family. “He has always been one of my biggest supporters throughout the Hereford.org

years,” she says. “At the 2011 Junior National Hereford Expo in Kansas City, Mo., I made top 10 in senior showmanship. We sat in the stalls with my heifer, and he walked me through everything I needed to do for the fitting portion. At the time, Reno had pretty long hair, and we made a bet that if I won senior showman, I could shave his head. I won senior showmanship that year and I got to shave his head with the clippers I won that day. We still laugh about the ‘haircut bet.’” There has been no shortage of laughs and good memories while on the show road. Reno says his favorite memory came from the Western Nugget National Hereford Show in Reno, Nev. “Three years ago, Don and Skeeter gave me half of a heifer as a bonus, and she won the national show in Reno as a bred heifer in 2014,” he says. “For them to give me interest in a heifer as a bonus, and her ending up winning the national show was pretty cool.” Success never comes easily for a good herdsman. “You have really got to love what you do,” Reno says. “In the summertime, I get up at 5 a.m. and the cows are in the barn by 6 in the morning. Out there, it is daylight at 4:30 a.m., so you can get outside and do something. It does not get dark until 9:30 p.m., so there are a lot of hours in the day to spend out there. You have just got to have a love and a passion for what you do, and it could be anything.”

to where you want to go,” he says. “I enjoy that as much as clipping on a show cow.” After spending time in the industry, Reno is hoping to make Hereford cattle a family affair. “I bought three or four cows off of Don and Skeeter that were donorquality females, and I hope to get my nephews started,” he says. “My oldest nephew flew out to the show in Reno last year and showed a heifer for the very first time. He flew out there again this winter and showed three.” One of the heifers Reno’s nephew exhibited was out of the heifer that won the Western Nugget National Hereford Show in 2014, bringing things full circle. For those wanting to be successful in the cattle industry, Reno says the most important thing is to find a mentor. “Find somebody who does a good job in whatever aspect of what you want to do,” he says. “Befriend those people and ask them questions.” Some of Reno’s greatest mentors are his father, his grandmother, Lloyd Doublehead and Tom Steen. Each of these individuals has played a special role in getting Reno to where he is today, he says. Reno adds there are people in his life that have allowed him to fulfill his passion. “I would like to thank my parents and especially my brother, JC, for what he does for me both at home taking care of the cows, and on the show road,” he says. “There is no better

help in the business. Also, a huge thanks to Kari and the Brumley’s for allowing me to be part of their family and for the opportunity to make a living doing what I love.”

Working for the future Reno said he hopes to continue to grow his own herd in the next few years while continuing his work at Brumley Farms. “I’ll keep working with the Brumleys until they run me off,” he says with a laugh. “They are an honest, hardworking farm family. There are no better people than the Brumley family.” Kari Brumley says she and her family were ecstatic to learn Reno had been voted Hereford Herdsman of the Year at the 2017 NWSS. “We were all surprised, but we were all so very proud and honored for him to be a part of our program,” she says. “He is more than a herdsman for us — he is also a family member. We were very proud of him because he does work really hard and he is deserving.” Reno said he was humbled to receive the award, but believes it is about more than just showing. “We raise these cows for the commercial cowman,” he says. “It makes more people money than showing does, and it puts meat on the table for people all across the world. “Someday I hope to be known as a good cowman rather than just a guy who can clip a show calf,” Reno says. HW

Beyond the show barn Don says Reno takes time both in the show barn and out in the pastures to ensure all the cattle are taken care of. “He has a gift for seeing cattle and knowing how they need to be managed,” he says. “He spends endless hours in the show barn rinsing, blowing and working hair, but he also loves to spend time going out and looking through the cows and calves out in the pasture.” Being in the barns is only part of the fun for Reno. “In addition to working with the animals, I really like to study the genetic side of it, and what crosses well on certain lines of cattle to get Hereford.org

Cattlemen Mosey on Down to Music City Highlights of the 2017 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show.

record-shattering 9,300 cattlemen and women met in Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 1-3 for the 2017 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show — the largest annual gathering of the beef industry. The convention hosted cattleindustry enthusiasts for a week of education, committee meetings, policy development and entertainment. The event included joint and individual meetings sponsored by five industry organizations: NCBA, the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion & Research Board (CBB), the American National CattleWomen Inc. (ANCW), CattleFax and the National Cattlemen’s Foundation. “The Convention and NCBA Trade Show is the beef industry’s largest gathering of the year, and it’s a great opportunity for everybody in the industry to network, set

public policy for 2017, and learn about all the new technology and science that’s improving the quality and safety of American-produced beef every day,” says 2016 NCBA President Tracy Brunner. In addition to attending a 353-exhibitor trade show showcasing the industry’s latest products and technology, cattlemen heard from Dr. Beck Weathers, who in 1996 barely survived one of the most violent and deadly storms ever to strike Mt. Everest and served as the inspiration for the major motion picture “Everest.” Cattlemen also listened to Dana Perino, who was the press secretary for President George W. Bush for seven years and is now a panelist on “The Five,” which airs daily on the Fox News Channel. Her exposure to the Washington scene brought an insider’s knowledge to the new administration. Perino said the

recent presidential election was unique. The odds of getting an inside straight are 254 to 1, she told the audience, and those are the kind of odds Trump beat to win the presidency. “It was a hard hand to play, and he played it perfectly,” she said. While Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, she didn’t win the states she needed, including Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. According to Perino, cattle producers should work to make sure they “get in front of the administration as much as possible” on things like trade. She suggested giving away the upper hand in trade to China through destruction of the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership) was not a good idea, but “he (Trump) can change his mind.”

Commodity price stabilization expected in 2017 After a volatile year, stability is returning to global commodity markets, at least for the time being, said CattleFax CEO Randy Blach on Feb. 2 during the CattleFax Outlook Session at the 2017 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show in Nashville, Tenn. “After the ag market shocks of the past year and an approximate correction of 50% in all commodity markets, prices are beginning to stabilize,” Blach says. “That doesn’t mean that we’re past this, or that prices have bottomed, but on a global basis, we’re not likely to see as much volatility during the year ahead.” He says the industry is continuing to become more current in its marketing and cattle feeders are seeing a return to profitability, the first step in helping to stabilize prices for cow-calf and stocker operations. Blach says that in the near-term, capacity is going to continue to be a significant issue for packing companies in both the beef and pork sectors. A shortage of available labor and an increase in protein production in beef, pork and poultry will continue to keep the packing sector in the driver’s seat during the year ahead.

/ March 2017

“With limited processing capacity, the leverage shift in the marketplace will continue toward the packing, retail and foodservice segments for the time being,” Blach says. During 2017 and beyond, margins are likely to tighten for cow-calf producers with more stability but also an expectation for lower highs and lower lows. CattleFax analysts note the cowcalf sector will shift focus to finding efficiencies, reducing cow costs and improving productivity to remain profitable. Analysts estimated 2017 price expectations for 550 lb. steers at $150 per hundredweight (cwt.) with a range of $130-170/cwt. while 750 lb. steers will average $130/cwt. with a range from $120-140 during the year ahead. Blach reports the historical cattle cycle remains intact, although the price break experienced in 2016 was the fastest and deepest of any in recent history. “Even with the rapid growth in the U.S. cow herd, numbers are expected to continue higher for the next two-to-three years,” says CattleFax Senior Analyst Kevin Good. “Absolute price lows likely will Hereford.org

(CHB®) LLC booth in Nashville represented the Hereford breed by providing a place for cattlemen and Hereford enthusiasts to visit with AHA and CHB staff about Hereford’s important role in the beef industry. Staff promoted The Hereford Advantage program and shared with commercial cattlemen how Hereford traits can improve their bottom line. CHB LLC staff highlighted the superior taste and consistency of CHB and directed attendees to local restaurants which serve the product.

Leadership Nebraska cattleman Craig Uden succeeded Tracy Brunner as the organization’s new president and will lead the organization’s policy work and oversee efforts as a contractor to the Beef Checkoff Program. Uden, a fourth-generation cattleman from Elwood, Neb., says he is proud to lead the organization. “It is an honor to be selected to lead the industry that my family has worked in for four generations,” Uden says. “We have a great opportunity in the coming year and sharing our story on Capitol Hill and around the country is going to be top priority.” Uden is a partner in Darr Feedlot Inc., a commercial cattle

feeding operation in central Nebraska. Uden and his wife, Terri, also own and manage a commercial cow-calf operation. Kevin Kester of Parkfield, Calif., was voted to serve as the NCBA president-elect. Jennifer Houston of Sweetwater, Tenn., will serve as vice president. Jerry Effertz of Velva, N.D., is the new Federation chairman, and the new Federation vice chair is Dawn Caldwell of Edgar, Neb. The new NCBA Policy Division chairman is Joe Guild, Reno, Nev., and Jerry Bohn of Pratt, Kan., is the new policy vice chairman. “The coming year is going to be a huge one for the cattle

not be realized until that period of increasing cow herd numbers is behind us.” Good echoes the expectation for prices to stabilize during 2017, making price and production risk management an easier task for producers. He says fed steer prices will average $110/cwt. with a range of $98-$124/cwt. and the composite Choice cutout will trade from $168 to $204/cwt. with a 2017 average price of $185/cwt. for the year. Grain prices have also stabilized and corn is projected to trade from $2.90-$3.95 per bushel with an average of $3.45 per bushel. Meteorologist Art Douglas, professor emeritus at Creighton University, says the signs of a return to El Nino conditions are already becoming apparent in the Pacific Ocean, which bodes well for portions of the country. “The upcoming spring forecast calls for improved moisture from Texas to Minnesota and this will be an ideal setup for spring wheat. The drought in the Southeast will be retracting in the spring while a drier spring weather pattern is forecast for the northern Rockies. Persistent high pressure ridging will keep the western Hereford.org

and beef industry from a policy standpoint,” Uden says. “We are facing unprecedented change in Washington D.C., and we’re going to work tirelessly to make sure our producers’ voices are heard in Washington on important issues like tax reform, regulatory relief and international trade.”

Cattlemen’s College Education was the focus for the first days of the 2017 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show, with more than 1,250 cattlemen and women on hand for the 24th edition of Cattlemen’s College, sponsored continued on page 96...

third of the country warmer than normal in the spring and the dry areas of the far Southeast will also be warmer than normal,” Douglas says. “Temperatures will be cooler than normal through the Corn Belt in the spring and with wet weather forecast for the western Corn Belt, there could be problems with field work and spring planting.” He says the upcoming summer is expected to follow the typical pattern observed with developing El Nino events. “Midwest summer temperatures will be near to slightly below normal. A persistent trough of low pressure is forecast to persist through the Mississippi Valley through the summer and this will favor cooler than normal temperatures in the plains and above normal precipitation from the Gulf Coast to the mid-Mississippi Valley and Ohio Valley as well as the Southeast,” Douglas says. “The summer monsoon in the Southwest is likely to be weak as the monsoon high pressure struggles to become established in the plains. The Northwest is expected to have a warmer- and drierthan-normal summer due to persistent high pressure ridging.” HW

by Zoetis Animal Health. The event has become the gold standard for educational seminars with more than 15 educational sessions focused on providing opportunities for participants to improve the profitability, productivity and, ultimately, the sustainability of their farms and ranches. “The focus of Cattlemen’s College is to provide real-world solutions and ideas that participants can take home and apply to their operations. The information that panelists are providing at this year’s event will provide ideas that can be applied right away,” said Josh White, NCBA executive director of producer education. “We have an impressive array of speakers representing every segment of the beef community. With five different educational tracks, participants can focus on their specific areas of interest. From changing consumer attitudes to topics focused on succession planning and specific animal management information, each session was developed to help move our industry ahead.” The Cattlemen’s College event began Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 31, with two sessions, “Turning Loss into Gain: Managing Risk to Improve Fertility,” featuring Alison Van Eenennaam, Ph.D., and Megan Rolf, Ph.D., who presented new research on cow herd fertility

AHA Director of Breed Improvement and Chief Operating Officer Shane Bedwell taught the course “Reducing lameness and improving cattle structure through genetics and management” at Cattlemen’s College. See Page 36 for a complete summary.

and its impact on profitability and a concurrent session featuring Kent Andersen, Ph.D., who examined the use of genetic tools for building more productive cow herds and adding value to feeder and fed cattle. The next morning, Cameron Bruett, head of corporate affairs for JBS USA, spoke to a packed room about the changing consumer expectations for beef. He emphasized the need for every segment of the beef supply chain to better understand its customers in order to meet the needs of a changing industry. He also emphasized the significant challenges posed by competing proteins, an uncertain political

During the 2017 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show, AHA and CHB LLC staff directed attendees to local restaurants serving CHB. One restaurant on that list, Jimmy Kelly’s, is a Nashville icon. Owner Mike Kelly’s grandfather started the restaurant in 1934, and Kelly says through the years it has stayed true to its steakhouse roots. Housed in a Southern mansion, the 83-year-old restaurant serves CHB. “We picked up a few CHB products about 8 years ago and were pleasantly surprised,” Kelly says. “For about 7 years we’ve had a completely Hereford beef program.” Kelly says what stood out most to him is the above-average consistency CHB offered. “I can’t take a bite out of every steak we serve,” he says. “The only way you can stay in the restaurant business is to have a high-quality, consistent product — it’s rule number one. I felt like [CHB] was above average and had a consistently exceptionable flavor profile. It is noticeably different.” HW

environment and its impact on labor in the United States. “Today, it’s very difficult to find someone to work in a packing plant,” Bruett says. “Much of our labor force is comprised of firstgeneration immigrants and they’re great people, but we still face significant turnover and unplanned absenteeism among our work force, and that makes it difficult to run a business. Ultimately, it makes it difficult to get our product out the door. That impacts the cattlemen and women who depend on the packers to supply beef to the consumers. The bottleneck in our industry isn’t in the number of animals any more. The bottleneck is a labor shortage in the plant, and it’s a major problem.” Bruett, who has played key roles in the beef sustainability movement, also spent time defining beef sustainability and illustrating the importance and benefits of the industry’s path of continuous improvement. “There are a lot of labels out there, but those labels aren’t about sustainability,” Bruett says. “Those labels are about a production practice, but sustainability is much more than any single production practice. In order to evaluate the sustainability of the product, the profitability, social and environmental aspects must be considered equally. Something may be good for the environment, but if it’s not also profitable, then it’s not sustainable. “There’s a great deal of concern that there’s going to be a mandate about practices, but that’s not what sustainability is about; it’s about the end product. If that product is profitable, contributes to the social landscape and has positive environmental benefits, then it becomes sustainable,” Bruett says. Presentations from the 2017 Cattlemen’s College will be available online after Feb. 17. Cattlemen and women who were unable to attend the event in Nashville can take advantage of this online option at beefusa.org. HW Hereford.org

International Beef Trade:

What Now?

Leaders in the international beef trade sector shed light on the global market. by Kayla M. Wilkins

rade has been a hot topic issue on the minds of many within the last year. Foreign relations in this sector have posed numerous questions across the United States and that holds true for the cattle industry, as well. The current state of trade and policy is on the forefront of issues affecting today’s beef industry. Beyond present day, the futuristic outlook of international beef trade is creating uncertainty among individuals active in the cattle industry from producers to congressmen.

Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), on Feb. 1 during the NCBA convention said the current situation has potential for a positive outcome within the industry. “With uncertainty there is always opportunity,” Bacus says. “I think it is important that while we may disagree with the president and we may disagree with some of these policies, we need to look at the opportunity to work with this administration and to work with our congress to make sure that any of those outdated issues that we still have can be addressed.”

In response to the growing marketplace and need for U.S. beef by the consumer, as well as other environmental and policy variables, there has been expansion within the American beef herd. Currently, there are approximately 90 million head of cattle and just over 600,000 ranches nationwide producing more beef every year. With the increase in production, there also must be a continued increase in demand. Dan Halstrom, Today’s global marketplace U.S. Meat Export Federation Before looking too far ahead, Bacus (USMEF) senior vice president of says it is important to understand global marketing, says identifying the current state of the market on and acting upon needs of other an international countries is the niche scale.

HEREFORD MOM DIARIES Preserve the Legacy A few weeks ago my brother, Willy, and I stood in the farm office of C Bar Cattle Co. — also known as the farm office for the land that has been in the Couch family for more than 100 years. Our eyes passed over the many banners and ribbons and over the countless Denver and Louisville champions photographed, framed and hanging on the dusty walls. There’s not an open space to be seen. And then our eyes met. How had it come to this? Generations of the Couch family had proudly raised cattle on this land, and now? The end could be drawing near. You see, our parents divorced about six years ago, after nearly 35 years of marriage. Nearly two years ago, my dad’s multiple sclerosis, compounded with numerous health issues, led him to a “rehabilitation” stay in the nursing home, which he’s never left.

Nursing home stays are far from cheap, and we have liquidated nearly all of Dad’s assets to keep the bills paid. The only thing left? Selling half of the farm. The family who purchased the farm are lifelong friends. We know the land is in good hands. Regardless, it’s not a fun situation to be in. I’m not sharing this story for sympathy. But please, please hear me on this: If you haven’t talked through your farm transition plan with family, do it. Learn from us, and do it. There are ways we could have prevented this situation. Easy ways that would have involved a lawyer drawing up some paperwork, and my dad and us signing on the lines. But mortality and transition plans were a taboo topic in our family. Willy and I tried a few times, but we didn’t push it. We didn’t want to cause

problems. We believed it would work itself out. However, here’s the hard truth — we all are going to die. We may be 25. We may be 50. We may be 107. But it’s going to happen. If you love the family heritage on the farm, if you want to see it continue into the generations to come, you simply must have the talk. Do it while everyone is in relatively good health. Do it before you have to. Do it before it’s too late. Shannon Ferrell, associate professor in the Oklahoma State University department of agricultural economics, has spoken on the topic across the country. His best advice? Just talk. “You might find that there’s far more common ground than you realize,” he says. “To illustrate that point, I asked about 200 farmers and farm stakeholders at the Farm Credit Illinois Farm College to list their needs, wants, hopes and fears regarding the transition of their farm. And all treasure the farm, all cherish the family, all seek fairness and respect and an equitable path forward for all involved. The moral of the story is that if you have the courage to take one step forward and start the conversation with your farm family, you may find there’s plenty of common ground on which to build your farm’s future.” For now, the Couch family barn, home site and cattle runs are still in the family. Only God knows why the cards have been dealt as they have and what the future holds. As for Willy and me? We’ve learned a lot and grown a lot through this experience. If we can know that just one person decides to have that talk with his/her family and if he/ she can avoid the stress, worry and pain that we’ve experienced, it truly will make this not all a loss. Have that talk, and preserve the legacy. HW

Has your family discussed the transition plan for your farm?

In Passing

122

/ March 2017

Ray L. Johnson, 83, Lancaster, Minn., passed away Sept. 11. After graduation he went to work Ray Johnson on the family farm with his father. He served in the U.S. Army in Germany. He married Lillah Mardell Goodrich in 1953, and the couple farmed for a number of years with his parents. They later purchased the farm and raised registered polled Hereford cattle. During that time, they hosted several production sales on their property, which were attended by buyers from several states and Canada. In 2007 the farm was sold, and they built a home in Lancaster where Ray lived until being hospitalized. Ray was active in the American Hereford Association (AHA), the Minnesota Hereford Breeders and the Northwest Stockmans Association. In 1995 he was recognized in the American Polled Hereford Association (APHA) Hall of Fame for his outstanding contribution to polled Herefords. On numerous occasions, his cattle were awarded Benchmark Dam status by the APHA. Ray was a member of Sion Lutheran Church and served on the church council. He was a member of the Cannon Township Board for 50 years, serving as treasurer and chairman of the board. He also served on the Lake Bronson Farmers Union Oil Company board for 18 years. In 1991 Ray and Lillah were honored with being named the Valley Farmer and Homemaker. He was a member of both the American Legion and the Lancaster Lions and was awarded the 100% Club President Award.

Ray is survived by children, Lowell, Karen and Kevin Johnson and Michelle Mukhtar; grandchildren, Carrie Edmondson, Christopher Johnson, and Zak and Sophia Mukhtar; six great-grandchildren; a sister, Pat Michel; a sister-in-law, Nellie Storhaug; and many nieces and nephews. Craig Gary Ludwig, 75, Kansas City, Mo., passed away Jan. 8. Craig Craig attended Ludwig Iowa State University for his bachelorâ€™s and masterâ€™s degrees and Oklahoma State University for his doctorate in animal science. He married Nancy in 1967. Craig worked for the AHA for 29 years, traveling throughout the U.S. and the world, including Hungary, Australia, southern Africa and South America. Following his work for the AHA, he was the CEO for several other cattle associations. At home Craig was a skilled builder and remodeler. He loved caring for his yard, planting and tending his extensive garden, feeding the birds, playing fantasy football with his longtime league, and participating in his Bible study group. When his sons were young, Craig coached their softball and 3&2 Baseball league teams, leading them to division championships. His grandchildren were his pride and joy, and he went to many baseball, football, soccer and basketball games played by his grandchildren living in the Kansas City area. Craig is survived by his wife, Nancy; sons, Chad and Scott; daughter, Laura Butler; brothers, Arnold and Jon; and grandchildren, Elrica and Gabriella Ludwig and Remi, Brody and Hadley Butler.
