World’s Perspective

Momentum

Enthusiasm for the Hereford breed kicked off a strong 2018.

| March 2018

The saying goes — time flies when you’re having fun — and, for me, the first two months of 2018 have sped by. January and February were packed with exciting Hereford happenings, and by the looks of it, the spring will round out at the same pace. Soon after welcoming 2018, American Hereford Association (AHA) staff were off to Denver for the National Western Stock Show (NWSS). I attended my fourth National Hereford Show at the NWSS, where I’ve seen enthusiasm for the Hereford breed only grow each year. Hereford breeders brought their best to compete on the Hill and in the Yards, and the Mile High Night Sale, grossing over $1 million, is indicative of a strong Hereford demand. Coverage of the four-day event begins on Page 56. A week back in Kansas City, Mo., brought final preparations for Hereford’s presence at the Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show Jan. 31-Feb. 2 in Phoenix, Ariz. The AHA and Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) booth was once again a popular meeting place for Hereford breeders and commercial cattlemen. The booth donned a striking 10-foot banner of “The Bald-Faced Truth About Hereford Genetics,” staff interacted with attendees and materials were handed out to promote Hereford and the CHB brand. New this year, the AHA hosted a press conference as a central event to share about Hereford’s dedication to the commercial industry and new programs. A highlight of the presentation at this media event was discussion on how AHA’s new genetic evaluation is leading the industry in genetic technology. AHA Chief Operating Officer Shane Bedwell detailed many of AHA’s new programs and CHB Chief Operating Officer Amari Seiferman spoke on how the

CHB brand continues the tradition of marketing and promoting the Hereford breed’s superior genetics. Read more Cattle Industry Convention highlights on Page 102. While in Phoenix, the AHA cohosted a one-of-a-kind event — the Red Reception — to announce for the first time, two leading cattle breed associations have united to develop a genetically verified female program to meet the needs of commercial cattlemen. The AHA has teamed up with the Red Angus Association of American to launch the Premium Red Baldy program, which is a tagging program designed to maximize heterosis by combining the best traits of two breeds. Read more about this groundbreaking new program on Page 108. Cattlemen’s College is the premier cattle industry educational event and one I look forward to attending each year. In upcoming issues of the Hereford World, we will share in-depth information from these informative sessions on genetics, antibiotics, infectious diseases, imports and exports, engaging with federal agencies, cattle ID, calf management, and many others. Turn to Page 112 to get back to the basics of bull selection. While some staff were in Phoenix, others were hard at work back in Kansas City packing up the downtown office at 1501 Wyandotte Street in preparation for the big move. On Feb. 5 the AHA opened its doors for business at its new headquarters location at 11500 N.W. Ambassador Drive. In the weeks leading up to the move, I found myself reflecting on the breed’s history and the foundation built by past generations that has set the breed up well for the future. Hereford has momentum as commercial cattlemen are looking to take advantage of heterosis in their herds. I can’t wait to see what the year holds. Hereford.org

Breed Focus

Building Effective Programs

by Jack Ward

The Hereford breed continues to strengthen its position as the breed of choice in all segments of the industry.

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

| March 2018

For nearly 15 years, I’ve written this article from my office at 1501 Wyandotte. Today, I am writing this article at the new American Hereford Association (AHA) headquarters located at 11500 Ambassador. It has certainly been a very exciting time for our staff and Board of Directors as we negotiated the sale of the AHA property and planned for an expedited move to the new office space. I want to thank everyone who has been involved over the past three years to get this endeavor completed. We still have our artwork stored, and the new museum is not complete, but our goal is to finish the entire office space by the middle of April — we will then plan for a grand opening. Our current office is located near Kansas City International Airport right along I-29 with plenty of space for parking and easy access. I hope that if you are in the area, you will plan to stop by. As you can imagine, our schedules have been full with this move, but the Hereford breed was represented at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver, and the Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show in Phoenix. The NWSS, Mile High Night National Hereford Sale and Mile High Eve sale are all events that breeders should be proud of and certainly were the envy of others. The change in schedule, showing junior heifers a day earlier, allowed breeders to visit both the Yards and the Hill to study the cattle and to visit with others — the enthusiasm was contagious. The sales were incredible, and I want to thank all involved with getting the ring set up on the Stadium floor for the Mile High Night Sale. A big congratulations is in order to both the consignors and

the AHA staff for putting together an incredible offering of cattle, and a huge thanks goes to all of the bidders and buyers. I really enjoyed working with auctioneer Joe Goggins, who was impressed with the crowd and the excitement of the sale. Shortly after we returned home from Denver, our staff headed off to the NCBA convention. Another strong crowd was on hand for the convention, and the AHA booth was busy with folks stopping to share stories about using Hereford genetics or inquiring about adding Hereford genetics in the future. We also hosted an AHA press conference during the convention to give the media an update of all the things happening at the AHA. In addition, the AHA and the Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) introduced a program to promote the red baldy female. The Premium Red Baldy program is the first opportunity for two breed associations to join forces to create a program that will help the commercial industry. You can find more details of the program at Hereford.org. In addition to the press conferences, Shane Bedwell, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement, was a part of the Cattlemen’s College presentations again this year. Bull sale season is off to a great start, and we continue to see the demand for Hereford genetics growing. The staff is focused on building programs and strengthening the position of Hereford within the industry by following the path set out in the 2017 Strategic Plan. With the support and commitment of the membership, the Hereford breed will continue to grow its position as a breed of choice in all segments of the industry.

Performance Matters

Go for the Gold

by Shane Bedwell

Gold TPR breeders show dedication to data collection by going beyond Whole Herd TPR requirements.

Shane Bedwell is the chief operating officer and director of breed improvement of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at sbedwell@hereford.org.

Congratulations to the spring 2018 Gold TPR™ (Total Performance Records) breeders who are recognized on Page 11. We again had several breeders who received this prestigious honor by going above and beyond when it comes to data reporting. I’m sure many of you enjoyed watching the Olympic Winter Games last month. The dedication these athletes have should be commended as there is no doubt that most had to perfect their God-given talents through a lot of practice and perseverance to the make the podium. You can draw many parallels between these Olympic medalists and the American Hereford Association (AHA) breeders who received the Gold TPR honor. Achieving this recognition didn’t just happen overnight — it started two years ago when these breeders successfully submitted their cow herd inventory before the surcharge deadline (March 1 for spring herds and Sept. 1 for fall herds) with the accompanying reproductive status of each female on inventory. Likewise, these breeders have submitted birth, weaning and yearling weight information on every calf born in 2016 that was not sold or removed from the herd. Plus, they submitted scrotal information on every bull calf with a yearling weight and, at the minimum, ultrasounded 25% of their calf crop. These data had to be submitted by Dec. 1, 2017. Much like an Olympic champion, these breeders made the sacrifice to go beyond Whole Herd TPR requirements to get the extra amount of data collected and to follow a routine schedule to accomplish Gold TPR status.

Gold endorsement You may ask, “what did it get them?” Well, just like an Olympic athlete who makes the podium with a gold medal,

| March 2018

these AHA breeders received an endorsement. No, not a new snowboard contract or a commercial contract from Coca-Cola, but an endorsement for themselves that I can argue will be worth more in the long term. This endorsement is recognized by everyone who searches the AHA database and pulls up an animal with their prefix or by searching their member name. To me, the Gold TPR breeder status signifies right away that this breeder is committed to performance recording and values complete calf crop reporting. But just as important, these breeders are after more by measuring their product. They are using these tools to make better breeding decisions for the improvement of their herd and, as a result, the improvement of their customers’ herds whether they be those of fellow Hereford breeders or commercial cattlemen. A majority of these Gold TPR breeders had their data submitted by May of 2017, if not sooner, because they wanted the most accurate expected progeny differences (EPDs) ahead of breeding season, not to mention before they merchandized the 2016 calf crop. This goal is certainly more achievable than ever since AHA is running weekly genetic evaluations (released each Monday). Data submitted by midnight on Saturdays will be reflective in the genetic evaluation released on the Monday after the next week. For example, for data to be reflective in the EPD release that will occur on March 12, 2018, data will need to be submitted by March 3, 2018, at midnight. Capitalizing on these more frequent genetic evaluations with more timely data submission will pay major dividends for breed improvement in the future. Best of luck going for the GOLD. Hereford.org

Spring 2018 Gold TPR Breeders A total of 124 Hereford breeders achieved Gold TPR™ (Total Performance Records) status for spring 2018. The Gold TPR Breeder recognition is presented to progressive Hereford breeders who have measured traits and collected and promptly submitted performance data at all levels of production. The Gold TPR program was established to recognize those breeders who go the extra mile to collect data at all levels of production and to report that data in a timely manner. Since the program’s inception in 2005, Hereford breeders have increased their data collection efforts. Breeders must meet a specific set of requirements in order to be eligible for the program. They are: • Submit herd inventory prior to date inventory surcharge goes into effect. • Complete reporting of calving ease and reproductive status for each dam on inventory. • Complete reporting of birth weights for all live calves recorded in the calf crop. • Complete reporting of weaning weights for all live calves recorded in the calf crop. • Complete reporting of yearling weights for all live calves recorded in the calf crop. • Complete reporting of scrotal measurements for each bull calf with a recorded yearling weight. • Report ultrasound data on 25% or more of the calf crop. Note: For weaning and yearling weights, disposal codes are accepted if the animal has been removed from the herd.

Customer Service Tips and Tricks

by Laura Loschke

Helpful hints for registration With spring calving season well underway, don’t forget some of these helpful hints for registering the calf crop:

• Enter registrations 24/7

when using MyHerd.org. Also, submitting registrations through MyHerd.org provides a $2 to $5 discount per animal.

• Make sure all DNA testing is

completed before registering calves. All sires used to register calves must have DNA on file before any calves can be registered. Any embryo transfer (ET) donor dams must also have DNA testing completed before any ET calves can be registered out of them.

• An artificial insemination

(AI) certificate is needed for the bull if the breeding was AI. If one is needed, contact one of the bull’s owners or the semen company from which the semen was purchased.

• When entering the sire’s and

dam’s registration numbers in MyHerd, the “P” at the beginning of polled animals’ numbers is not needed. Simply enter the registration number itself — not the “P.”

• Herd IDs are specific to each

animal. Therefore, no two active animals in the herd can have the same herd ID. Common practice is to make the herd ID of the calf the same as the calf’s tattoo.

• Whole Herd Total Performance Record (TPR™) program members can submit inventory for the year and season to register calves. The inventory must be submitted for the specific year and season before any calves can be registered.

| March 2018

• When transferring a calf on

entry, completely fill out the transfer information. If doing the registration by paper, this can be found on the back of the registration application. If the registration is on MyHerd, transfer information will be at the bottom of the calf registration screen. In both cases, include the date of transfer, the new owner’s full name and address, and whether the registration certificate is to be mailed to the new owner or yourself.

• When entering the registration

information on MyHerd, click the “Calculate Breeder & Original Owner” button. This step will calculate who the correct breeder and original owner are, based on the calf’s date of birth and who owned the dam at that time. Before clicking that button, fill out every box above that point, including the ET box. Simply select “yes” if the calf is an ET calf or “no” if the calf is the result of natural or AI breeding.

• If registration is entered on

MyHerd, but an animal was placed “on hold” due to an error, go back and fix the error to finish registering the animal. To edit that calf’s entry, simply go to the “Herd Details” tab and then click “Pending Animals.” From there, find the calf on the list, click on it, then click the “Edit”

button toward the bottom of the page. At this point anything about the animal is editable. Click “Update” when the information is complete to verify and update any changed information.

Reminders The American Hereford Association (AHA) has moved its headquarters. We want to thank all of our breeders for being patient with us during this process. Please use the new mailing address below when sending any paperwork to the AHA. Also, don’t forget about the special $20 per dam DNA pricing going on right now. This is an inventory-based cow project. Please contact Tena Martin at tmartin@hereford.org for more information, if interested. AHA mailing address: American Hereford Association 11500 N.W. Ambassador Dr., Ste. 410 Kansas City, MO 64153

As always, if you need help navigating MyHerd or have questions about your herd, registrations, inventories, weights or anything else, please contact AHA Customer Service at 816-842-3757.

Youth Movement

Looking Back, Moving Forward

by Austin Matheny

The onset of spring is a time which members have been gearing up for since the end of last summer. Picking out new heifers or steers with which to start working fills the air with excitement. The familiar summer days in the barn are right around the corner.

Each year around this time, I get excited to start preparing for the highlight of my summer. Like many of you, I am excited to be “All Aboard the Hereford Express” in Grand Island, Neb. The National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board of directors wants you to join us July 1-7 for a week of Hereford cattle, friends from across the nation and competition.

Exciting times ahead Chairman Steven Green, gwherefords@yahoo.com Vice chairman Brooke Jensen, brookerjensen@outlook.com Communications chair Bailey McKay, baileymckay14@yahoo.com Leadership chair Brooke Hinojosa-Sidwell, brookehinojosa10@gmail.com Fundraising chair Mason Blinson, meblinson@gmail.com Membership chair Austin Matheny, austin.matheny61@gmail.com Directors Rylee Barber, ryraba@gmail.com Brandt Downing, downingshowcattle@gmail.com Nathan Hopkins, nhopkins3632@att.net Bailey Jones, baejones15@gmail.com Taylor Belle Matheny, taylormatheny97@gmail.com Hannah Williams, hmwilliams13@yahoo.com Director of youth activities Amy Cowan P.O.

As I prepare for my last Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) as a junior member, I am reminded of what made each one memorable. Looking beyond the showring, I realize the contests had to be one of my favorite parts. Whether you are looking to show off your fitting skills in the team fitting contest or to judge a few classes of Herefords, there is a competition for everyone. Taking the opportunity to participate in these competitions will be rewarding for years to come. Entry deadlines are approaching for both cattle and contests. Competition in the showring is still one of the most exciting parts of the week. I enjoy getting to exhibit projects I have raised and learning along the way. From attending the JNHE since I was 9, it is easy to see proper preparation can lead to success. In the time leading up to the JNHE, it is important to

prepare your cattle accordingly. Daily washing and blowing will have a reward sooner or later. If you want to learn more, don’t hesitate to find an older junior to teach you so improvements are made each year. If you are a high school senior or are currently attending college, remember to fill out scholarship applications by April 1. There is $170,000 to be awarded this year, and $30,000 of that will be awarded at the JNHE. Thank you to the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and the National Hereford Women for helping promote education each year.

Reflection Taking a look back at the week the Hereford breed spent in the Mile High City, it is easy to see successful growth through numbers. There were 184 head of junior cattle exhibited by NJHA members from across the country. Since 2008 a generous breeder has donated a female to be sold in the Mile High Night National Hereford Sale with proceeds benefiting the HYFA. This year Scott McDonald of McDonald Farms, Grand Rapids, Mich., donated the Lot 1 Foundation Female, Eve. A large thank-you goes out to Express Ranches, Yukon, Okla.; Buck Cattle Co., Madill, Okla.; and Moore Cattle Co., Madill, Okla., for purchasing this year’s female. The success of this event would not be possible without generous donors and supporters. Reflecting on the past few months and anticipating the months ahead, it looks like 2018 will be just as exciting as 2017. As the summer air starts to turn into excitement with the newfound bond between juniors and animals, don’t forget to send in entries. Good luck, junior exhibitors, at state, regional and national shows this coming year. Hereford.org

Foundation’s Focus

Building on Our Firm Foundation

by Amy Cowan

It’s been an exciting year so far for the Hereford breed when you couple the enthusiasm surrounding events that kicked off the new year. To top off all the excitement, I am writing this column from the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) new office headquarters at 11500 N.W. Ambassador Drive. Packing up an office that housed decades of Hereford history and moving from downtown Kansas City, Mo., have brought back lots of memories from inside the walls at Wyandotte. I’ve reflected on how far our breed has come and, in particular, the firm foundation that has been built for Hereford youth. This walk down memory lane, offered a fun look back at the generations of Hereford families who make up our foundation. One thing that kept jumping out at me as I flipped through photo albums and filing cabinets was a constant theme of unwavering support of Hereford youth programs. If the walls could talk, I think they would echo that the breed’s history paid it forward — building a firm foundation from the ground up.

HYFA programs Lots of new programs and concepts were born at 1501 Wyandotte, and the HYFA is one of which the entire breed can be quite proud. We would not be approaching the $4 million mark in net assets without this remarkable membership and group of donors. The rebirth of the youth foundation happened in 2003 when HYFA sold the first foundation female — donated by the Coley Family in memory of the late Gary Bishop, who was the former director of youth activities and breed improvement. This was the first Harvest Gala under a big tent at 1501 Wyandotte, and we have been celebrating Hereford

| March 2018

youth in grand style ever since. For four more years, HYFA sold the foundation female in conjunction with the Annual Meeting until Lot 1 moved to the Denver sale — where this tradition continues today. It is with sincere enthusiasm that I report we have raised $770,000 in Denver for the Lot 1 foundation female program and another $100,000 in the years leading up to the Mile High Night. That’s almost a million dollars generated through the foundation female fund, thanks to the donors and buyers who make it happen each year. See page 72 to read about the Lot 1 in Denver. Scholarships were HYFA’s first mission in the fall of 2004, when the first $750 Gary Bishop Scholarship was awarded. In 2005 it was followed by $4,750 with the addition of the Bob and Dolores Call Scholarship and the unveiling of the $5 million capital endowment campaign. Thanks to the late Bill and Jo Ellard, the EE Ranches, Inc., $200,000 endowment led to $18,250 in scholarships being awarded in the fall of 2006. This endowment was the beginning of great things to come for HYFA, and this fall, 11 years later, we proudly awarded $147,500 and will have awarded $170,000 after the summer scholarships have been dispersed. This kind of growth is monumental. We have also added the Coley-Malir Leadership Endowment and all the educational opportunities that our youth experience each year through the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) and the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout.

Get involved There are many ways to get involved and to show your support at all different levels. I encourage

you to think outside the box and to find the best avenue that works for you to get involved this year. The Feed the Future program, in partnership with BioZyme Inc., presents a tremendous opportunity for HYFA. It only takes a minute to text receipts to 816-383-3109. We are going to be recognizing a Feed the Future Customer of the Month each month. The Foundation 1 Club, started by Sierra Ranches at its Western Treasures Volume 1 sale this fall is another avenue offering huge growth for HYFA in the coming years. In Denver the Coleman family presented its first check to HYFA, and I am excited to report that $15,000 has been generated through the Foundation 1 Club with 1% of proceeds from Sierra Ranches’ sale and the Ladies of the Royal and the 2018 Mile High Night sales. Please visit HerefordYouthFoundation.org to learn more about the Foundation 1 Club, and how you can be a part of this movement. 1501 Wyandotte was the office that shaped my career and welcomed me right out of college almost 20 years ago. The people who walked in and out of that building and the life lessons from 1501 are a huge part of my Hereford timeline. For me, a new space offers a fresh perspective as we look to the future and for even bigger things in store for the already firm foundation. HYFA has a rich history and, as you can see, the opportunities are endless for the next generation. It is my hope that we build on our historic past in downtown Kansas City and take the foundation to new heights at 11500 Ambassador Drive.

Hereford Women

A Dream Made Reality

by Trudy Nolles

Each year, the National Hereford Women (NHW), along with a Hereford breeder, offer a $1,500 credit toward a registered Hereford heifer to a National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) member. For junior members to qualify, they must be present and exhibit at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), be 21 years old or younger by Dec. 31 of the current JNHE year and be a member in good standing of the NJHA. All exhibitors at the JNHE will be entered in the drawing. The winner will be announced during opening ceremonies and must be present to win. The heifer award winner will have until May 1 of the following year to coordinate with the donating breeder for selection, transfer and registration of the heifer. Transfers within the exhibitor’s own herd or family herd are not allowed. The donating breeder will provide the paperwork to the award winner indicating the transfer date, the award winner’s

name and address, the registration number, and the heifer’s name. The award winner must send a copy of the registration papers to the NHW treasurer by June 15 of the following year. Heifer award winners can qualify for a $500 scholarship if they provide a report on their experience with the heifer, send a thank-you note to the NHW and the donating breeder, and exhibit the heifer at the following year’s JNHE. Any Hereford breeder interested in donating to the Heifer Award Program may contact the NHW at nationalherefordwomen@gmail.com. The NHW can also be contacted at this email address if you are interested in becoming a member. The NHW sponsors many scholarships and contests during the JNHE, the National

Hereford Queen program and the NHW Outstanding Hereford Woman of the Year award. Go to HerefordWomen.com to learn more. Let’s continue helping juniors fulfill their dreams.

Emma Richardson, Capron, Ill., was the recipient of the 2017 Hereford Heifer Award at the JNHE, Louisville, Ky.

Previous heifer award winners Keayla Harr, Ohio, won the NHW heifer drawing in 2013. Harr was awarded a $1,500 sale credit to Churchill Cattle Co., Manhattan, Mont. She says the female did well as a show heifer but has made an even better cow. She is the mother of one of the Harr’s herd bulls and consistently produces a highquality calf each year. “Being awarded this credit not only gave me the opportunity to add a new female to my herd, but it also allowed me to get to know Dale and Nancy Venhuizen better and make a new contact within the breed,” Harr says. Jett West, Wyoming, won the drawing in 2015. He gained the opportunity to take home a heifer from King Ranch, Stanley, N.M. “This scholarship meant so much to me,” he notes. “I was able to start my own little herd of Herefords. I am very thankful for the registered Hereford heifer gift. It was really nice of the Bill King Ranch to give me the chance.” Emma Richardson, Illinois, was the 2017 winner. Her heifer was donated by Tennessee River Music Inc. “I was shocked when they called my name because I had never won any drawing or award,” she explains. “This is my third year showing Herefords, and I am very excited to be presented with an opportunity like this.” Other previous donors include Mohican Farms/Mohican West, Ridgeview Farm, Barber Ranch, H2 Ranch and Delaney Herefords/Atkins Herefords. We would like to thank each and every heifer award sponsor. Hereford.org

Focused on What Matters

Lester Schafer and the Schafer family have set their priorities and have been honored for a century of service in the Hereford breed. by Christy Couch Lee

“I

t all boils down to God, family, country, people and then Herefords,” says Lester Schafer, Buffalo Lake, Minn. This mentality has driven the Schafer family for more than a century in the Hereford industry — through service, leadership and producing quality Hereford genetics. For this reason, Lester was honored as a

Century Breeder at the 2017 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 registered Hereford herd Schafer runs was originally started by his grandparents in 1917. Throughout the following century, this family has remained true to their roots.

The beginning

Pictured are brothers Robert and Lester Schafer.

| March 2018

In 1900 Lester’s grandparents, John and Mary Klucas, and their two young sons, Art and Emmet, moved to the current Schafer homestead in Buffalo Lake, Minn., from Blue Earth, Minn. Two daughters, Frances and Gladys, were born through the next few years, completing the family. Just 17 years after moving to Buffalo Lake, John and his brother-in-law traveled by train to Garner, Iowa, where John purchased four registered Hereford heifers, thus beginning the Hereford legacy within the family. Meanwhile, in 1919, John D. and Dora Schafer moved their nine children from Sherburn, Minn., to a farm south of Buffalo Lake — just three miles from

the Klucas farm. Their eldest son, Henry, married Frances Klucas in 1925, and they began farming near the Schafer farm. One year later their first son, Lester, was born. Shortly thereafter, Henry was diagnosed with tuberculosis. He moved to the sanitarium near Granite Falls, Minn., and Frances and Lester moved in with the Klucas family. Henry and Frances added one more son, Robert, to the family before Henry died suddenly of a ruptured appendix. Thus, the Klucas household in the 1930s consisted of John and Mary, son Emmet, and daughter Frances with her two sons, Lester and Robert. “I learned many life lessons The foundation in the Hereford breed built 100 years ago continues today for the Schafer family. from my grandparents and Pictured (l to r) are the Schafers and their children: John, Carla, Lester, Kathleen and Mary.

Lester and Kathleen became the parents of four children: John, Carla, Laurie and Mary. They also began building their own herd of cows and increased their role in the farming operation. Gladys’s three sons also contributed labor to pay for their 4-H project calves and pigs. After Mary Klucas and Emmet passed away in the early 1960s, Lester and Kathleen purchased the farm. Their son, John, graduated from U of M with a degree in animal science, returned home and purchased the Anton Carlson farm in 1979. Robert and Carol have lived at Mahnomen since 1956.

T. Oxley in the early ’60s, and Bob has managed it ever since. The Schermerhorn/Oxley genetics have been part of the Schafer breeding program since 1958 and have been a significant influence on the Hereford breed. Robert and Carol have five children: Barb, Don, Ron, Mark and Jean. The three sons are still involved in the Hereford industry.

Data driven In 1960 Lester purchased a scale and began collecting weaning weights on calves. When the

Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program was established by the AHA a couple of years later, he was one of the first to enroll. Yearling weights were added to the data within a couple of years, followed by birth weights in 1979 and ultrasound carcass data in 2000. DNA testing has recently been implemented and is becoming an important part of the performance testing program. “The animal breeding principle, ‘You can’t improve a trait if you don’t measure it,’ has

1960 Lester began collecting weaning weights on calves. 1962 Lester and Kathleen purchased the Klucas farms. 1979 Lester began collecting birth weights. 1979 Lester and Kathleen’s son, John, graduated from U of M with a degree in animal science and purchased Kathleen’s parents’ farm, the Anton Carlson farm.

1996 Lester was named to the Minnesota Livestock Hall of Fame. 2000 Lester began utilizing ultrasound carcass data. 2000 The farm achieved century farm status. 2000 Lester was named to the Minnesota Hereford Breeders Hall of Fame; Robert was named to the Minnesota Livestock Hall of Fame. 2002 Robert was named to the Minnesota Hereford Breeders Hall of Fame. 2006 Robert was named to the American Hereford Association (AHA) Hall of Fame. 2017 Lester was named to the AHA Hall of Fame.

proved to be true, and steady improvement in all measured traits has been achieved,” Lester says. “The performance records have also proved useful in determining when an optimum level of performance has been attained, and finding genetics to maintain that level of performance. In recent years, linebreeding and inbreeding to top individuals has been employed carefully and where appropriate to build the predictability of the cattle. Outside sires have been added to the program to add specific traits while broadening the herd’s genetic base.”

Education and service Lester says the importance of education and service was taught from an early age in the family. “We have all had the desire to just keep learning,” Lester says. “When I was growing up, going to the country school, I read every book in the library. My family created a sense of challenge, and I wanted to learn more about whatever subject I happened to be reading about.” Without a doubt, this family has continued learning. “Within the family, there are nine animal husbandry or animal science degrees; three ag journalism degrees; one ag education degree; one home economics degree; and one ag business degree — mostly from U of M, in addition to several degrees in fields other than agriculture,” Lester says. “As well, seven family members have worked for the Cooperative Extension Service.” Serving the industry and giving back is a top priority for the family, as well. “We’ve always had the attitude of trying to make things better,” Lester says. Klucas family members and the Schafers have served in various roles within the Minnesota Hereford Association, the Minnesota Polled Hereford Association, the Minnesota Hereford Breeders, the Minnesota Junior Hereford Association, the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association, local cattlemen’s associations, the Minnesota Livestock Breeders Association, the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, the Beef Promotion Operating Committee and the Minnesota Beef Council. Additionally, they have served within the Farm Bureau, the Agricultural Utilization and Research Institute, economic development committees, pork producers associations, Extension committees, school boards, city councils, 4-H, FFA and churches. Their service has not gone unnoticed.

Honors Counted among their highest accomplishments, both Lester and Robert have been enshrined in Hereford.org

One of Lester’s most notable accomplishments was being inducted into the AHA Hall of Fame last year.

the Minnesota Hereford Breeders Hall of Fame and the Minnesota Livestock Hall of Fame. Robert was named to the AHA Hereford Hall of Fame in 2006 and Lester in 2017. “I was amazed when Jack Ward called to inform me that I had been named to the AHA Hall of Fame,” Lester says. “I didn’t think I had done anything that special. Or that I deserved it. I know a lot of people who have accomplished a lot more than we have. It gave me a good feeling to know that anyone can be recognized for devoting their time and effort, and for doing the best they can.” Lester says it also was truly a great honor when Churchill Cattle Co., Manhattan, Mont., purchased LJS Mark Domino 1321. “Dale Venhuizen chose that bull based on photos and EPDs (expected progeny differences) and decided he was worth promoting,” he says. “We have sold semen on him and his sire, LJS Mark Domino 0945, from ocean to ocean and from north to south. I also must thank my brother, Robert, and nephew, Don Schafer, for furnishing the genetics that went into that bull.”

Future of farm Today, Lester, Kathleen and John run the daily activities of the farm. “John does most of the planning these days. With my age as it is, I do as little as I can,” Lester says with a laugh. As for the future of the operation? Lester says it’s uncertain. “John doesn’t have any children, and he’s single,” Lester says. “We don’t have anyone in line to continue. But we would very much like to see it continue.” God, family, country, people and Herefords. The foundation built 100 years ago continues today with the Schafer family. If all goes as hoped, this legacy will continue for years to come.

AHA Opens for Business at New Headquarters The AHA moves north in Kansas City, Mo., from its downtown location.

he American Hereford Association (AHA) opened for business Monday, Feb. 5, at its new headquarters location, 11500 N.W. Ambassador Drive, Suite 410, Kansas City, MO 64153, in the Kansas City Northland. The location is just east of I-29 near the Kansas City International Airport. The AHA closed on the sale of its 1501 Wyandotte Street office building on Jan. 18 to KC Hotel Developers LLC. “This is an exciting move for our members,” says AHA President Kevin Schultz, Haviland, Kan. “Our new headquarters will be more accessible for Hereford breeders. We are looking forward to our members stopping in to visit with staff and conduct business. I think they’ll enjoy its location near the interstate and improved parking. The new headquarters will also offer the flexibility needed to serve our growing membership.”

Kansas City heritage The Hereford breed established its roots in Kansas City in 1920 when it became the first beef breed

association to own its own headquarters. The original office was located at 300 West 11th Street. In 1953 President Dwight D. Eisenhower dedicated the second AHA headquarters at 715 Hereford Drive before the Association moved to the Wyandotte Street location in 1986. The AHA began the process of negotiation to sell its 1501 Wyandotte Street office three years ago, resulting in an expedited move in early February upon closing on the sale. While the Association is operational, a portion of the office space has yet to be completed — including the museum. Plans are in place for the completion of the new AHA headquarters by mid-April. AHA Executive Vice President Jack Ward says, “The Hereford breed has strong ties with Kansas City. From our new location, the AHA will continue to provide exceptional service to Hereford breeders across the U.S.” Hereford.org

Promoting Demand One Click at a Time Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) revamps its website for 2018. by Kayla Jennings

onsumers want their information, and they want it at their fingertips as quickly as possible. In today’s culture, a strong online presence is beyond a want — it is an absolute need. In response to that trend, the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) team has launched a new website to reach consumers where they are.

| March 2018

Hereford.org

On Feb. 1, 2018, CertifiedHerefordBeef.com underwent a major change. The new, fresh website design boasts captivating images and several innovative features not only to promote the CHB story but also to provide an educational hub for site visitors.

Meeting a demand In 2018 the CHB team is more dedicated than ever to reach consumers. Amari Seiferman, CHB chief operating officer, says that goal was at the forefront over the last several months of the redesign. Since consumers hold the buying power, CHB is targeting multiple platforms with the message that CHB is a premium choice at retail stores and restaurants. “We have a new look, and we see this website as a way to introduce the new look to consumers across the United States and internationally,” she explains. “It is also a great way to promote the consumption of Certified Hereford Beef and inspire consumers to use Certified Hereford Beef in their daily lives.” This website, as part of the strategic marketing plan, will hopefully entice consumers to purchase more pounds of beef. However, the website is only a small part in the overarching mission to create a premium for cattle in the CHB program. CHB Director of Marketing and Communications Kaylen Alexander says, “We are working hard to market Hereford product and make Certified Hereford Beef a household name, which drives demand. When there is a high demand, there is a premium on that beef. Everything we are doing on the consumer side to move more pounds of beef is ultimately going to make it where our Hereford farmers and ranchers see premiums on their cattle.”

Innovative features The homepage provides visitors opportunities to order online, visit the blog, learn about the CHB story, view recipes, seek out purchasing locations, access the partner portal and contact program representatives. When visitors hover over the “Our Story” link, they have the chance to view a timeline of the CHB program, meet the ranchers and address frequently asked questions. The featured families on the “Meet The Ranchers” page provide consumers a face for the CHB program, creating a farm to table connection. To further connect CHB producers and consumers, there is an interactive ranch map — indicating the number of Hereford ranchers in each state. “These features really connect the pasture to the plate, and the consumer to who is growing their food,” Alexander notes. “It is another fun way

for consumers to learn there are people around them producing their food.” This interactive map and new blog fill a desire for consumers to understand where their food comes from. Further, these features promote a personal connection to the ranchers, as well as the CHB program. Building those relationships with consumers is critical in increasing pounds purchased. Additionally, consumers are eager to learn more continued on page 46...

The interactive steer works as an educational tool for customers to understand cuts of meat and to learn best cooking methods.

about the processing procedure of their beef. The answer is an interactive steer featured on the “Cuts” section under “Recipes.” The steer exhibits eight common primal cuts of beef. Visitors can click on each primal to highlight it, and then more details about the cuts produced from each primal appear. Those details include other common names for that cut, a description of the cut, the best cooking method and a link to recipes. “The new recipe section is very modern and allows visitors to filter by the cut of meat, the cooking method, and food type,” Alexander explains. Once the recipe is selected, it also includes nutritional information, and the steer resurfaces to visually show the cut location. Even so, all this information would be worthless without a call-toaction. The webpage features a “Where to Buy” page, complete with a map of CHB restaurants and retail locations. Visitors can filter their search by zip code and distance. While the website has many consumer-specific features, there is also a unique portal for CHB licensed partners. Until now CHB partners would contact a staff member to discuss and request marketing materials. The staff member then filled out a form, waited for approval and mailed the items to the partner. This new portal has expedited that process. “Licensed partners will be able to login to the back side of this portal and access any marketing materials they need,” Alexander explains. “The point-of-sell sheets will be available for download, as well as banners, posters, educational trainings, and other marketing materials to promote the Certified Hereford Beef brand. This ultimately provides those partners the opportunity to view all the tools we have for them to effectively market the brand to consumers.” At the end of the day, the CHB team is pleased with the website. It will serve as a key piece in the marketing effort to drive demand for CHB in the coming years. “In the end, it is all about driving demand,” Alexander says. “We are hopeful this website will encourage more people to hop on, click around, get recipe ideas and eat more beef.”

Several new recipes are available for site visitors within the recipe section.

The website provides the opportunity for visitors to find CHB near them wherever they are.

Questions to Consider

Farmers and ranchers should ask themselves these seven questions to ensure they are achieving business efficiency and profitability in their operation.

by Kindra Gordon

ontinuously asking questions to evaluate the efficiency and profitability of a farm or ranch business is a necessity in today’s volatile ag market. That’s the advice of South Dakota State University Extension business management field specialist Heather Gessner. She suggests that before ag producers can make effective decisions, they must first review their records and ask themselves several financerelated questions. Specifically, Gessner advises that producers need to be able to talk to lenders about their business finances, not just the production side. To this, Gessner likes to challenge producers by asking them to review seven essential questions.

Do you operate like a business?

Specifically, Gessner says producers should be able to: a. Present their balance sheet, expected cash flow and profit/loss statement to their banker. b. Answer questions about their working capital availability, past numbers and future numbers. c. Show trends in return on investment (ROA), debt coverage, operating expense ratios. Gessner notes with many of these financial statements, producers are putting themselves in a more informed place to make decisions. As an example, she says, “If you know your breakeven cost, you may not always make money, but you can make decisions to ensure less loss.”

Have you reviewed machinery costs?

Can land costs be lowered?

What is your family living expense?

Gessner notes that finding ways to decrease machinery and equipment costs per acre can help increase revenue. As examples, she suggests evaluating custom rates or outsourcing practices. Producers could even consider joint ownership of larger equipment with a neighbor. To these ideas, Gessner says, “Every once in a while, producers need to think about giving up some independence if it helps curb costs.”

Gessner suggests producers inquire if rental agreements might be renegotiated for more favorable terms based on a history of good management practices or to come in line with changing industry prices. Additionally, she says long term notes might be looked at for refinancing while interest rates remain low.

Gessner advocates tracking household living expenses in a checking account separate from the business and evaluating costs frequently. She advises involving everyone in the family to develop a realistic family budget that can be adhered to. Gessner says for those who have not previously tracked annual family living expenses, a rule of thumb to start budgeting at is $20,000 per adult and $10,000 per child.

Now’s a good time to get started in ag

Can production be improved to boost revenue?

Has the operation’s marketing plan been reviewed?

Gessner notes that increasing weaning percentage and/or increasing the numbers of pounds sold may provide an opportunity to boost income. But, she points out that producers must first know what their current percentages and pounds are. She also advises that producers must consider how making one change, might affect the rest of the operation.

With regard to marketing, Gessner suggests pondering: Do you need to make a change from what you’ve always done? She says a second concept to consider may be opportunities to add value. Possibilities include backgrounding, health protocols or marketing via video or branded beef programs.

Could you provide custom services?

To add revenue, Gessner says a producer might consider using his equipment to help a neighbor put up hay, or custom feeds calves or heifers for someone. For families who try to increase income by having one family member take a job off-the-farm, Gessner stresses that the costs must also be considered. “If town is 70 miles away, is it worth it? What does it cost you?” she questions. As any changes for your farm or ranch business are evaluated, Gessner emphasizes taking time to review and discuss your strategies with your family and your lender. She suggests thinking of your lender as an advisor. She adds, “With any changes that are made to the operation, the additional expenses must be evaluated and monitored to ensure that the change isn’t costing more than the revenue it’s generating.”

One big question young producers may have is: Should I pursue a future in production agriculture? Revered ag economist David Kohl has bullish optimism for young producers, saying, “I think it’s a better time to get into farming and ranching today than it was five years ago.” Kohl, who is a professor emeritus of agricultural and applied economics from Virginia Tech where he taught for 25 years, travels the country — and internationally — sharing business management advice with producers across all sectors of agriculture. So why does Kohl suggest now is a good time to get into farming or ranching — or expand an existing operation? He points to one big statistic — 60% of U.S. land ownership will turnover by the year 2030 because of the aging demographic of current landowners. Additionally, he notes that 20% of family farms have no next generation returning to the operation, which spells opportunity for those looking to get into the business.

Other favorable factors Kohl also cites the current low interest rates and the drop in machinery and equipment values as two core reasons providing opportunities to get into ag. He notes that some machinery values are down 20-40%. Likewise, he says today many producers are finding ways to farm and ranch with less machinery, which decreases operating expenses. Kohl credits new producers with being savvy about collaborating on assets and talent sharing, which also provide a means for getting into the business with less expense. For new and expanding producers, Kohl emphasizes that in today’s marketplace there are opportunities for all sizes of operations. “There is no one size fits all. You don’t have to have 300 cows or a certain number of acres,” Kohl says. He notes that the younger generation is finding creative ways to market, multi-task and create various revenue streams. Kohl also points to niche markets for food and ag products as opportunities for producers. He sees revenue opportunities in agriculture by attracting visitors from tourism or selling products online. Lastly, Kohl says one of the best reasons to get into farming and ranching is that it is still one of the best livelihoods in which to raise a family.

We are excited to announce that Ade Polled Herefords is back in business with a new generation. My father, Robert Ade, was one of the early believers in Polled Herefords starting his herd back in the late 1940’s in Indiana. Dad believed keeping data, birth weights, weaning and yearling weights were critical to improving his herd and the breed. Our family competed in the show ring and in performance testing producing several champions. We sold both commercial and registered cattle having many satisfied return customers. Over the past two years we have started building a new herd with some of the top females in the country. Purchasing recips from NJW with cow, JWR M41 PRINCESS 167S, and ENCORE one of the top selling cows in the CMR dispersal. Eggs from NJW out of the famed cow, DAYDREAM 73S, the dam of Trust, 10Y, 8Y and many more. Flushes out of some of the top females at Churchill Cattle Company, Churchill Lady 002X, the Dam of Red Bull, Stud, Manhattan and Sure Bet and 2114Z and 1162Y, top producers for Churchill. Eggs from Ellis Farms, FELLISITY X654 and KATE W484, strong genetics from EFBEEF herd.

he rich history and shared passion amongst thousands is overwhelming for an attender at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. Walking through the Yards in the crisp air, hearing the thousands of cattle being prepared to show is addicting for many. If the wood

used to build the Yards more than 100 years ago could talk, it would be intriguing to pull up a chair to listen. The rich history runs deep for all cattlemen, but Denver holds a special place for Hereford breeders — young and old. All the work at home has culminated in the moment their cattle

step into the showring at Denver — the peak of the year. While show day is exciting, it’s the other 364 days of the year that create champions — the hard work day-in and day-out it takes to get the cattle to that point. From breeding to calving to feeding out and fitting for the show, there is a lot more to this journey than stepping into the ring. In fact, those long hours year-round are where the 2018 Hereford Herdsman of the Year, Eric Eldridge, Bruneau, Idaho, finds the most joy. Hundreds gathered on the Stadium floor Jan. 13 before the selection of the polled Hereford grand champion female in great anticipation — awaiting not only the announcement of the winning female but also the announcement of the Hereford Herdsman of the Year. The excitement on Eldridge’s face upon the announcement said it all. Eldridge was selected as Herdsman of the Year by his peers, other Hereford herdsmen and breeders. “For that many people to pick me out of all the guys in the barn is a pretty special feeling,” he says. “For all the guys like me that do this day-in and day-out, it is a dream to be recognized as the Hereford Herdsman in Denver. It is a pretty amazing feeling.”

Early start Eldridge grew up on a commercial cattle operation and exhibited all species of livestock throughout his childhood in Quartz Valley, Calif. He credits his early love for the industry

Eldridge says he would not be where he is today if it weren’t for the support of his family and friends.

to his parents for providing the environment for his passion to grow in the livestock industry. “From a very young age I have always loved cattle and all animals for that matter,” he says. “People say I have a way with them.” Upon high school graduation, Eldridge followed that passion by working for Don Cardey for six years, showing cattle across the western United States. Eldridge fondly remembers the first show they went to in Del Mar, Calif. They exhibited 72 head and that was not uncommon for Cardey. “I learned how to take care of cattle going down the road,” Eldridge says. “He taught me the things that, to me, are the truly important things you need to know about how to run a cowcalf operation. He is not going to teach you how to fit one up, but in terms of teaching you how to road cattle, he has been a huge part of my career.” In fact, it was while he was showing cattle with Cardey at the Oregon State Fair that Eldridge met his wife, Erin. She shares his same passion for the cattle industry, traveling to many cattle shows in her time. “She has always been my biggest supporter,” he notes. “It means the world to me that she was able to be there when I received the herdsman award. I could not have accomplished this without her love and support.” Eldridge says that after gaining valuable experience with Cardey, he and Erin went into the custom fitting business with her family for 12 years — focusing mainly on Hereford show cattle. One of their long-time clients was Cox Herefords, Jefferson, Ore. During that time, they welcomed three kids into the family. They have 15-yearold twins, Abby and Emma, and a 10-year-old son, Cade. Eldridge says all the work they did custom fitting would not have been possible without his late mother-in-law, Paulette Hartnell. “She was who made it possible for my wife and I to go to all these shows for all those years,” he says. “She was an amazing grandmother to our three kids, and she took care of them while we were gone.” Those years on the road lead Eldridge to growing, learning and Hereford.org

making more connections within the industry. He says he feels blessed to have worked with individuals like Randy Beeman and Scott Downing — past Hereford Herdsmen. He also notes Brad and Dawn Gohr, Gohr Angus and Herefords, Madras, Ore., as integral individuals to his career. “I helped them for a lot of years,” he notes. “They gave me a lot of opportunities to learn a variety of skills. That is where I first got around to flushing cattle.” All the experience culminated to Eldridge landing a job with Colyer Herefords, Bruneau, Idaho, five years ago.

Beyond the 8 to 5 At Colyer’s, Eldridge is responsible for caring for the show cattle, traveling to all national shows, checking cows and calves in the pastures each day and more. Kyle Colyer, Eldridge’s supervisor, described him as an extremely reliable employee with a versatile skillset that makes him a perfect candidate for this honor. “Eric is a true herdsman all year round,” Colyer says. “He is a multidimensional employee, who can do everything from breeding to fitting and in between. That is what it is all about.” The “in between” is the favorite part of the job for Eldridge. “I can’t wait to continued on page 80...

Denver has held many fond memories for Eldridge and his crew.

Eldridge says the work at home is the critical for any success on the road.

see the calves that will be the next ones coming for next year,” he says. “I look forward to going outside everyday to work with cattle.” Eldridge says his position is unique because he is not in the show barn every day. “That is what I love so much about my position with Colyer’s,” he says. “It is not a typical position where you are in the show barn 24/7. My job is not just to work on show cattle, but it is also AI-ing cows, helping calving and herd health. I enjoy that it is not the same thing day-in and day-out.” To Eldridge, all the work outside the showbarn is what truly defines a herdsman. He says a herdsman is truly passionate about the cattle and the outfit he works for. “He is there

throughout the entire process,” Eric explains. “He is not just washing and clipping cattle. He has the ability to take care of the cattle, doing all the stuff you don’t see at the show necessarily. There is a lot that happens before show day. To me, it is all those things leading up to show day.” In his time in Bruneau, Eldridge says his skills in these areas have only grown, and he feels very fortunate to work with some of the best cattle in the industry every day for a family that has dedicated their lives to promoting the Hereford breed. He credits much of his newfound knowledge to Guy and Kyle Colyer. “I learn new things everyday,” he notes. “They are some of the best cattlemen I know, and that is where it all starts. You have got to be able to run those cattle, or what we do at the shows is not possible.” For young guys just starting in the business, Eldridge cannot stress enough the value of hard work. He says it is important to remember to take every opportunity available and to put in the time to work to the top.

The pinnacle Reflecting on his many years in the industry, Eldridge recalls several high points. Sifting to the top is having champion polled bull at Ft. Worth in 2016 and 2017 back-to-back with Black Hawk Down, receiving the Herdsman award this year and showing cattle with his family. He notes a specific year at Shorthorn junior nationals when his

daughter, Emma, won her class with a pair they had raised, and Abby made the callback in showmanship. Eldridge names several successes his team has had over the years in Reno, Denver and Ft. Worth. “It has been a neat experience,” he says. “To win the Herdsman award for me is overwhelming. To have your peers think that much of the job you do is pretty humbling. It is one of those things that most guys that do what I do dream for. To win the Hereford Herdsman was always a big deal to me.” In fact, his wife’s family raised Herefords in the ’50s, so that connection makes this honor even more special. Looking forward, he says one of his main goals it to manage a bull or female to the level of winning all three major shows where they exhibit — Reno, Denver and Ft. Worth. Eldridge does point out that what he has been able to accomplish thus far and what he will accomplish in the future would not be possible without the team he works with. He notes the Colyers now have three individuals on their crew who have been named the Hereford Herdsman — Kyle Colyer, Don Yoesel and himself. “The reality of it is that I could not do it without my team,” he explains. “The group of guys and gals I get to work with are amazing.” Beyond the support of his work team, Eldridge says he cannot put into words how much he appreciates his team at home — his family. “There are times when my job is stressful, and they are very supportive of me and my job,” he says. “I just want them to know how much I appreciate them and all they do for me. I couldn’t ask for better people in my corner.” Throughout their time showing cattle as a family, Eldridge says Bob and Peggy Potter, Winton, Calif., have been a huge piece. Bob sent cattle with Eldridge for more than a decade, and they became very close. In January of this year, Bob lost his battle with lymphoma, and Eldridge would like to dedicate the Hereford Herdsman award to Bob and his family for the influence they have had on his life.

Eldrige has been working with the Colyer family for the last five years and enjoys the versatility in his position.

Cattlemen and Women ‘Blaze a Trail to Phoenix’ Highlights of the 2018 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show.

attlemen and women blazed a trail to Phoenix Jan. 31-Feb. 2 for the 2018 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show — the largest gathering of the beef industry. The annual convention hosted nearly 7,600 cattle-industry members for a week of education, committee meetings, policy development and entertainment. Attendees had the opportunity to enjoy a large trade show, with more than 350 exhibitors on more than seven acres of floor and outside space showcasing the industry’s latest products and technology. Holding their meetings at this event were the NCBA, the Cattlemen’s Beef Board (CBB), the American National CattleWomen (ANCW), CattleFax and the National Cattlemen’s Foundation. “Every year the Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show hosts members from every segment

of the beef industry,” said NCBA President Craig Uden. “Not only is the event a great opportunity for attendees to network and learn about the newest technology and science to improve their operations, but it’s also when we set public policy for 2018.” SiriusXM “The Highway’s” host Storme Warren emceed the opening general session on Wednesday afternoon, with Ree Drummond, host of Food Network’s show “The Pioneer Woman,” sharing her keynote “From Black Heels to Tractor Wheels.” Drummond is a writer, photographer and ranch wife, helping run a cow-calf operation outside Pawhuska, Okla., with her husband, Ladd Drummond.

The AHA and CHB booth in Phoenix provided a place for cattlemen and Hereford breeders to visit with AHA and CHB staff about “The Bald-Faced Truth About Hereford Genetics.”

“The one thing I learned right away is how much cattlemen care about the animals they raise,” said Drummond, who grew up in the city before living on her ranch in Oklahoma. Following the convention’s opening general session, the NCBA Trade Show opened its doors, with more than seven acres of indoor and outdoor floor space and more than 350 exhibitors showcasing the industry’s latest products and technology. Former Major League Baseball pitcher Jim Abbott was the keynote speaker in the second general session Friday morning, and he shared his story: “Imperfect: An Improbable Life.” While on stage, Abbott, who pitched for the Gold Medal Olympic team in 1988 and threw a 4-0 no-hitter for the New York Yankees in 1993, discussed his own struggles with adversity that began with being born without a right hand. Abbott shared his methods to adapt to the challenges that were set before him and how cattlemen and women can use

them to adapt to the challenges facing their own operations. “So much depends on our ability to adapt to challenge,” Abbott said. “No matter what disguise the challenge takes, the question remains the same: ‘what are you going to do about it?’”

Hereford hosts cattlemen The American Hereford Association (AHA) and Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) LLC booth in Phoenix 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 Bald-Faced Truth About Hereford Genetics” 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 promoted the CHB brand. During an AHA-hosted press conference on Feb. 1, AHA Executive Vice President Jack Ward, AHA Director of Breed Improvement Shane Bedwell and Certified Hereford Beef Operating Officer Amari Seiferman shared how Hereford genetics can maximize the value of the commercial herd by leveraging traits such as fertility, feed efficiency, docility and feedlot profitability (see “The Bald-Faced Truth About Hereford Genetics” sidebar). AHA also co-hosted “The Red Reception,” a special breeders event where the AHA and the Red Angus Association of America announced the Premium Red Baldy program. The two

‘The Bald-Faced Truth About Hereford Genetics’ highlighted at the cattle industry convention The American Hereford Association (AHA) is committed to progressive cattlemen and helping producers meet today’s challenges head-on. During an AHA hosted event at the Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show on Feb. 1, AHA Executive Vice President Jack Ward, AHA Director of Breed Improvement Shane Bedwell and Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) Operating Officer Amari Seiferman shared how Hereford genetics can maximize the value of the commercial herd by leveraging traits such as fertility, feed efficiency, docility and feedlot profitability. “The AHA had another strong fiscal year in which the AHA reported increases in all aspects of business and a new strategic plan set in place. The Hereford breed is wellpositioned to move the cattle industry forward,” Ward said. “We have a membership committed to the commercial industry and creating value and efficiency throughout the production system.” Bedwell updated attendees on the AHA’s new genetic evaluation. “The AHA is leading the industry in genetic technology and stands poised for a stronghold in the DNA era,” Bedwell said. “December 2017 was a groundbreaking moment for the AHA in terms of its genetic evaluation and breed improvement.” He also addressed the advantages heterosis offers commercial cattlemen. “Heterosis adds value across the board,” Bedwell said. “As we look to grow beef supply, one thing we can do is give commercial breeders tools to make good decisions capitalizing on breed complementarity. If we can take out some of the guesswork and let heterosis play its role, we’re in a good spot as an industry. Hereford has proven itself over and over again through research and trait progress.”

Certified Hereford Beef The CHB brand continues the tradition of marketing and promoting the Hereford breed’s superior genetics through a specification and quality-based branded-beef program established more than two decades ago. “We are in our 10th consecutive year of growth for the brand. We have increased our footprint not only domestically, but we’re excited to have entered into the international market,” Seiferman said. “The CHB brand allows not only a focus on a breed-specific program, but the competitive advantage of differentiation.” Sieferman shared how CHB® continues to expand product offerings under the brand label. “Because of consumer demand and awareness of the program, we have recently released and expanded our value-added line to include portion-controlled cut steaks, fully-cooked and deli items to enhance our product offerings.” In 2017 the introduction of CHB® Premium, a top Choice and Prime program, solidified the CHB brand’s position in a competitive marketplace. The CHB brand continues to position the program to increase market share and to lead the industry with a premium brand of beef backed by Hereford genetics.

AHA Programs

The AHA announced the inception of a new program — Premium Red Baldy. Hereford.org

“The AHA continues to be engaged with the commercial industry and provide programs to our members and young breeders,” Bedwell said before outlining recent AHA programs — the Hereford Advantage Program, the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout and Cow DNA Project.

Leadership California cattleman Kevin Kester succeeded Craig Uden as NCBA’s new president. He will lead the organization’s policy work and will oversee efforts as a contractor to the Beef Checkoff program. Kester is a fifth-generation California rancher, who was born

and raised in the Parkfield area of southern Monterey County, where his family has lived for more than 125 years. They have a yearling stocker and commercial cow-calf operation and also farm wine grapes on their 22,000 acre ranch. Voted in as president-elect was Jennifer Houston of Sweetwater, Tenn., who has been active in the beef industry for more than 30 years. Houston and her husband, Mark, own and operate East Tennessee Livestock Center in Sweetwater, which has a history of embracing change to better serve

its customers. In addition to regular weekly cattle sales, the Houstons hold video, graded feeder calf and Holstein steer sales. Houston served in 2017 as NCBA vice president. Marty Smith, a rancher and attorney from Wacahoota, Fla., was elected vice president. Smith previously served as the organization’s treasurer. Elected chair of the NCBA Policy Division was Jerry Bohn (Kansas), while Don Schiefelbein (Minnesota) was elected vice chairman. Dawn Caldwell (Nebraska) was elected chair of the NCBA Federation

CattleFax predicts large supply and strong demand in 2018 CattleFax celebrated its 50th anniversary during the popular CattleFax Outlook Session at the 2018 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show. CattleFax Senior Analyst Kevin Good highlighted the industry’s profitability during 2017 and said the trend looks to continue into 2018. CattleFax analysts told the audience U.S beef cow inventory increased 2.8 million head in four years, and an additional 200,000-400,000 head are expected to be added to the herd over the next few years. Good said there are growing supplies of protein coming to market during the year ahead, including large supplies of competing proteins, which will weigh on all beef prices. “We have a bigger supply of all proteins ahead in 2018. For the past year we were very fortunate to have solid export volume,” said Good. “We are forecasting trade to increase yearover-year in 2018, but still, the rate of production is out-pacing the rate of exports.” Although beef production is expected to increase to 27.5 billion lb. during 2018, Good said current consumer demand is expected to remain good and potentially to increase as retail prices moderate. He said CattleFax is predicting beef to remain a strong competitor against other proteins. “Demand is robust on all fronts. Domestically, retail demand is increasing and beef is being featured more in the consumer markets,” said Good. “The retail and foodservice industries are doing very well and the solid economy in the United States is one of the main drivers as unemployment rates continue to decline and per capita income rises.” Good said even though beef demand is high, leverage will continue to be a challenge for the feedlot and packing segments as shackle space becomes increasingly constrained by rising slaughter rates. With the growth in production, Good said he anticipates lower but still profitable price levels for the cow-calf segment, while feeders and backgrounders will see their margins narrow.

Input costs are expected to remain manageable, with grain prices expected to remain steady. According to CattleFax, yields will drive corn prices in 2018-19 marketing year with no significant changes anticipated in acreage or demand. Futures corn prices are projected to range from $3.25 to $3.95 per bushel as supplies remain adequate. With more livestock to feed in 2018 and the smallest acreage on record in 2017, CattleFax predicts hay prices will increase $10$15 per ton with additional weather-related price risks. Drought conditions have been spreading across the United States since last winter with the Southwest being impacted the most. Art Douglas, professor emeritus, Creighton University, predicts a possible transition from La Niña conditions to a weaker El Niño by summer. U.S. weather patterns over the next three months will be dictated by La Niña. However, equatorial warming could shift drought patterns across North America by late spring and summer. During the session, CattleFax analysts predicted fed cattle prices lower than prior year levels, averaging $115 per hundredweight (cwt.). Good said fed cattle prices are likely to face resistance near the $130 level, with downside risk in the upper $90 range. He predicted bargaining position will continue to favor cattle processors and retailers, with profit margins at or above 2017 levels. CattleFax projected 750 lb. steers will average $1 lower than 2017 levels at $145/cwt., with a range from the upper $120s to $160/cwt. Meanwhile, U.S. average 550 lb. steer calves will see a trading range from $170/cwt. at the spring high to an average price in the upper $130s, during the fall marketing season. For the full year, calf prices are expected to average $158/cwt. To see more from the CattleFax Outlook Session or to become a member, visit CattleFax.com.

Division and Laurie Munns (Utah) was elected vice chair. Caldwell will serve as vice-chair of the Beef Promotion Operating Committee. Other Federation representatives of the National Beef Checkoff decision-making body include Katie Brenny (Minnesota), Clay Burtrum (Oklahoma), Gary Deering (South Dakota), Bradley Hastings (Texas), Kristin Larson (Montana), Scott McGregor (Iowa), Clark Price (North Dakota) and Buck Wehrbein (Nebraska). Ten representatives from the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board also serve on the committee.

Cattlemen’s College Celebrating its 25th year, Cattlemen’s College has become known as one of the cattle industry’s most in-depth and helpful educational events. A total of 994 cattlemen participated in the event Jan. 30-31, sponsored by Zoetis Animal Health. “Our sessions help cattle producers stay abreast of the issues that affect both their day-to-day operations, and their long-term objectives,” said Josh White, NCBA executive director of producer education. “Those leading the sessions have gone through many of the issues facing the producers in the audience. Having this guidance is helping the industry face the future.”

Cattlemen’s College keynote speaker, Jim Taylor, provides insights from Arby’s “We Have the Meats” marketing campaign.

Among the topics in the sessions were genetics, antibiotics, infectious diseases, imports and exports, engaging with federal agencies, cattle ID, calf management, and many others. Information on cattle handling and other issues was also provided in a live cattle demonstration area. AHA Chief Operating Officer and Director of Breed Improvement Shane Bedwell presented in two Cattlemen’s College sessions (see Page 112).

Keynote speaker at the session Jan. 31 was Jim Taylor, chief marketing officer of Arby’s Restaurant Group, Inc., the operator and franchisor of more than 3,300 Arby’s restaurants nationwide. During his presentation, Taylor offered his audience an inside look at Arby’s “We Have the Meats” marketing campaign. “America is still a meat and potatoes nation,” Taylor told the audience. “The appetite for beef has never been bigger.” Arby’s sells more than 130 million pounds of beef a year, Taylor said, and his company “intends to keep that growing.” He said the core of the Arby’s business is meat, and the primary meat in the assortment is beef. “We offer a lot of meats, but beef will remain the heart and soul of the Arby’s experience,” he said. Taylor applauded the cattlemen in the audience who are expanding, because “without you growing your operations, we wouldn’t have a business.” Audio presentations from the 2018 Cattlemen’s College will be available online.

The Best of Both Worlds The American Hereford Association and the Red Angus Association of America partner to launch the Premium Red Baldy Program. by Kayla Jennings

or the first time, two leading cattle breed associations have united to develop a genetically verified female program to meet the needs of the commercial cattleman. During the Red Reception on Feb. 1, 2018, at the National Cattleman’s Beef Association (NCBA) conference in Phoenix, the American Hereford Association (AHA) and the Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) announced the new Premium Red Baldy Program. “This is a ground breaking, innovative program designed for the commercial cattleman in the United States, combining the best of two breeds in the Red Angus and the Hereford,” says Gary Fike, RAAA director of commercial marketing. RAAA CEO Tom Brink says a trend in today’s industry is genetic verification of commercial cattle, and the overarching goal with this program is to facilitate that in the commercial sector. After a year and a half of planning, the associations are proud to work together to fill this niche for producers.

The tagging program is designed to maximize heterosis by combining the best traits of two breeds. By combining the only two breeds backed by whole herd reporting, the mating is certain to develop a genetically verified female, which combines the ideal balance of maternal and carcass traits. The hope is these females will begin to receive a premium in the marketplace. “AHA is honored to join Red Angus to introduce the Premium Red Baldy Program that identifies genetically superior F-1 females,” says Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president. “The AHA and RAAA are the only two breed associations that implement a mandatory whole herd reporting performance program, which gives strength and reliability to their respective genetic evaluations.”

to require all animals to be in the top half of the breed. Ward says the list of requirements is quite simple. The sire must be in the top 50% of his respective breed in the Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) for Hereford and the Herd Builder (HB) index for Red Angus. BMI$ and HB are both maternal indexes created to provide producers a tool to multi-trait select for higherquality cattle. Additionally, the target breed percentages will range from 25% to 75%, with the balance being the alternate breed.

The logistics In the early stages of this program, Ward says both associations were seeking to develop something “better than average.” With that in mind, they developed the program

RAAA CEO Tom Brink says this program fills a need for higher-quality females in the commercial industry.

Hereford.org

Producers interested in verifying their bull battery should call their respective breed representative to complete the verification process and to order Allflex tags for $0.99 each. Interested breeders will contact Trey Befort, AHA director of commercial programs, at tbefort@herefordbeef.org or Chessie Mitchell, RAAA tag program coordinator, at chessie@redangus.org. Breeders will have to provide registration numbers at that time. Upon completion of the phone interview, tags will be shipped to the producer. Only enough tags to match the number of red-bodied and white- or brockle-faced females born on the operation will be shipped. It is also important to note Premium Red Baldy is not a Process Verified Program (PVP) through the United States Department of Agriculture. As a whole, Ward hopes this program creates a “trickleup” within the industry, where seedstock producers feel the pressure to breed genetically superior cattle in order to be a part of the program. “We are very excited about this program,” he says. “I do believe it is one of a kind within the industry. We don’t know where this is going to go, but we are excited about the opportunities moving forward.”

For the producer The inception of the new program has garnered attention amongst seedstock and commercial breeders alike. Wade Perks, Rockford, Ill., has been in the Hereford business his whole life, and his family raised

Red Angus for a number of years, as well. He was in attendance at the Red Reception and says it was great to see the co-mingling of breeders across the two associations and the commercial side. “I was excited to see the cross conversations happening between breeds at the end of the press conference,” he says. “Those conversations broaden the network and increase quality in both breeds. I was even more excited to see the excitement from the commercial cattlemen, because this program truly benefits them more than anything.” Much like Ward’s trickle up theory, Perks describes the benefits in a pyramid. At the top is the commercial cattleman seeking quality genetics based on indexes. This program limits single-trait selection, so seedstock producers are not chasing a single trait but instead are focusing on the big picture in creating these females. The secondary recipients of value are the Hereford and Red Angus breeders. “The expectations prompt Hereford and Red Angus breeders to develop higher quality cattle,” he explains. As well as raising cattle his entire life, Parks noted that his in-laws raise Hereford cattle in San Angelo, Texas. They collectively sell a couple of hundred bulls each year, and he says they are all excited about the opportunity for the program to benefit Hereford breeders specifically. “I think this is another tool in the toolbox to market white faced cattle,” Perks notes. “The increase in white face cattle benefits all Hereford breeders.”

The Red Baldy Premium Program garnered attention amongst seedstock and commercial breeders at the Red Reception. Hereford.org

AHA Executive Vice President Jack Ward says he hopes this program creates a “trickle-up” effect within the industry, where seedstock producers feel the pressure to breed genetically superior cattle.

Stepping back to view the big picture, Perks says there is a lot of synergy between the two breeds. The mating will truly develop a sought after, quality female. “We will not only see the advantages of heterosis, but it will provide the opportunity for the strong points of each breed to be prevalent in the offspring,” he explains. “I expect qualifying females to be fertile, easy doing, and highly maternal. That’s something commercial cattlemen can count on and will have a direct impact on their bottom line.” At the end of the day, Brinks says it is definitely newsworthy when two different breed associations work together for the betterment of the commercial industry. Both associations have a long history of caring about the commercial producer and orienting the breeding programs, genetics and various marketing efforts around serving the commercial producer. The Premium Red Baldy Program is an extension of those efforts and a big part of the AHA strategic plan to partner with others to increase quality genetics. “This program brings a female loaded with hybrid vigor, who is workable in many different environments, and a female that is going to last a long time,” Brink notes. “It creates a female that could be bred a number of different ways and do a very good job. She brings the best of two breeds that offer a lot of maternal traits and otherwise to the industry, and that is what this program is all about.” March 2018 |

The Juggling Act of Bull Selection Balancing expected progeny differences (EPDs), genomics, indexes, performance and structure is important for your next bull purchase. by Kayla Jennings

Genetic tools

s bull catalogs fill the mailbox and late nights are spent analyzing data or assessing phenotype on bulls via video or photo, there is no doubt breeding decisions are at the forefront this time of year. While producers utilize the various selection tools offered today, it is easy to become overwhelmed in a hurry. Fortunately, as part of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Cattlemen’s College on Jan. 31, Matt Spangler, Ph.D, University of Nebraska, and Shane Bedwell, chief operating officer and director of breed improvement for the American Hereford Association (AHA), provided some insight. Bedwell says it is important to remember producers may deviate slightly from each other on selection criteria based upon unique, individual factors. “We understand that each selection decision maybe

the shoulder coming in to the top of the knee looks like. While it is more challenging to see these things in a pen of live bulls, he says it is important to look for them. “That’s how that bull is going to get the absolute most athleticism out of his front end,” he notes. Moving to the rear skeleton, Bedwell stresses the importance of good joint mobility in the stifle. Ideally, there is a 45-degree angle from the top of the pin bone going down into the stifle joint. Additionally, there should be another 45-degree angle from the stifle joint going down into the top of the hock. “If we lose that, we’re losing the overall locomotion and movement of that bull,” he says. “The things that I’ve found to be the most successful when you’re trying to identify these cattle is to study their top line, and study how they hold their head when they move. The other thing is to go to the ground and see how they fill their track.” Bedwell says if something looks wrong on their topline or they are not filling their track, that problem is indicative of a skeletal issue.

caters a little bit different to your own environment, to your own setting and production goals that you have,” he says.

From the ground up From a phenotypic standpoint, it is absolutely critical bulls are sound on their feet and legs. If the goal of the producer is to breed cows to produce calves with longevity, which it is, the bull has to move fluidly in order to do that. Bedwell notes producers should look for overall functionality of bulls before deciding to utilize them during the breeding season — that functionality is where structure comes into play. When looking at a diagram, Bedwell says it is easy to see what the correct angles look like. Cattle should have a 45-degree angle on the front part of the shoulder to the top part of the shoulder and another 45-degree angle from the point of

Today, cattle producers have more genetic evaluation tools available than ever to combine with phenotypic evaluation. This advantage is huge because it moves the industry forward when it comes to selecting higher quality cattle, based on several criteria points. “If we think about the fundamentals of genetics,” Spangler explains, “it’s that the phenotype, what we see, really comes about through not only genetics but the environment. It’s really the cumulative effect of both genetics and environment.” Spangler compares bull buying to grocery shopping. Before going to the store, it is important to have the list of needs beforehand. This is no different when attending a bull sale. Spangler advises producers to take time on the front end to prepare a list of breeding objectives for the operation. Hereford.org

He says producers should ask themselves:

• Am I keeping back

replacement heifers?

• Do I plan to sell calves

at weaning, or will I background them and sell them later as yearlings?

• Am I going to retain ownership all the way through the feedlot and sell on a grid value-based system?

“The answers to those questions dictate what traits are economically relevant for you,” he notes. As a producer raising replacement females, sustained cow fertility (SCF) would be one of those traits because fertility drives the bus when it comes to beef production. Growth would be second and carcass would be the third trait of relevance to that producer, according to Spangler. Maternal calving ease and maintenance energy are two more traits he spotlights. Put simply, he says if a bull has female progeny that have trouble calving, and she takes more feed to maintain the pregnancy and to take a calf to weaning, she is not economical to keep. Moreover, this bull is not the best bull to breed to the cow herd. For the commercial producer, Spangler says it is important to remember the merit in crossbreeding, as well. He notes a study done by the United States Meat Animal Research Center that found crossbred females compared to their purebred contemporaries were able to stay productive in the herd for a little over a year more. “That means they have about an extra calf in their lifetime,” he explains. “And they have a cumulative weaning weight advantage of 600 lb.” That additional 600 lb. is a substantial economic advantage for the producer. Still, the additional pounds mean nothing if those cattle are not selected to fit the environment. Spangler uses a scenario of an operation with little feed availability. In order to get the most out of the Hereford.org

land, the producer should utilize the genetic tools to select cattle that are feed efficient and high in growth. The reality is, with little feed those cattle need to still maintain the ability to have healthy, strong calves that improve the bottom line. Because of environmental reasons, cattle that work in this hypothetical operation may not work in other areas. Again, that example is why Spangler stresses the importance of establishing goals based upon the environment, then using the genetic tools to select for those.

The balancing act

the exhaustive list of indexes into two categories — terminal and maternal. The terminal indexes are for producers looking to raise cattle to enter the feedlot, and the maternal indexes are more suited for developing females. In addition to these indexes, genomically-enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs) are becoming increasingly more popular. “The benefit of that, particularly those of you purchasing young yearling bulls, is that it increases the accuracy of their EPDs,” he explains. “It mitigates the risk of you having made the wrong bull selection decision.” Genomics provide a look into what exactly the bull is capable of before he even has progeny hit the ground. Spangler highly advises producers utilize this technology when selecting bulls. He says it is yet another way the industry has worked to aid producers in selecting the best bulls to produce the highest-quality calves. Bedwell and Spangler both agreed in saying there are several pieces to consider when selecting bulls this breeding season — phenotype, genotype and environment. At the end of the day, tools and resources are available to producers to simplify these decisions. Producers interested in more information regarding selection can visit: Beef.UNL.edu; NBCEC.org; and Hereford.org.

Identifying the “grocery list” of traits can be challenging. Spangler cautions it is easy to get caught up in single-trait selection. “The problem with that is traits are correlated to one another,” he explains. “Once I ignore the first trait and start selecting on the second one; there’s the potential I erode progress I made in the first trait over time.” Additionally, he sees producers sometimes overlook a bull which was just below the established threshold in one trait but superior in all others. Passing over those bulls sometimes means passing over the potential to move the cow herd forward with the right mating. “The other thing that you have to understand if you’re buying a bull, is there’s more than one trait that impacts the profitability of your ranch,” Spangler explains. “So it’s not just calving ease, and it’s not just weaning weight. There’s a multitude of traits that impact profitability, and you have to select for multiple traits simultaneously.” That process can be cumbersome, but, fortunately, there are economic indexes to aid in the process. Indexes are established by weighing several traits together and producing a number indicating the economic value of that animal — considering Matt Spangler and Shane Bedwell speak to producers about the those traits.

Hereford Mom Diaries

Small-Town Life Has Its Life-Saving Benefits

PHOTO BY CEE LEE PHOTOGRAPHY

Living in a small community for most of my life, I’ve learned there are both positives and negatives that come along with rural living. Negatives? Being more than an hour from a Target, a gourmet grocery store and IKEA. My husband, Craig, would say none of those are critical factors. Although, I should be embarrassed to admit they did weigh into my decision to move from Kansas City, Mo., to our tiny Illinois town when we married almost 15 years ago. Thankfully, wisdom prevailed, because one thing I’ve seen time and again is the absolute positive of a small community rallying around those in need when the time arises. That has never been more

There’s nothing like a small-town community to rally around a family in need. Sweet Mason, who has received a life-saving kidney from his aunt Cheryl, has learned this lesson at just two years old.

120

| March 2018

evident to me than in recent weeks when friends, church family and community rallied around a local agricultural family facing a difficult medical procedure and the difficult medical bills to follow. Two-year-old Mason was born with a kidney defect that resulted in dialysis from just a few months of age. Soon, he was in need of a life-saving transplant. Incredibly, his aunt, Cheryl, tested as a perfect match and the transplant was set for Jan. 31. It was beyond inspiring to see this sweet little blonde boy, who loves dinosaurs and wrestling with his big brother, William, getting a new chance at a normal life. The bond he and his aunt will forever share is heartwarming. My guess is that in a larger metropolis, the story might get some coverage in a few media outlets and, possibly, a few who know the family would do what they could to help. But in our tiny town, a benefit through the Children’s Organ Transplant Association was organized, planned and carried out in a short two-week time period. Let me tell you, it was an entire community set into motion to help. The church family rallied and prepared a delicious, home-cooked meal. Volunteers gathered silent auction items. The best bakers in a several-town area crafted beautiful creations for the bake sale. The local electronics store donated a TV for raffle, with sponsorships for it coming from other community members. The VFW donated the facilities. The local flower shop donated centerpieces. The list of donors and volunteers goes on and on.

When the evening was done, $17,000 had been raised to help offset the transplant-related expenses for this family. It just blows my mind. Part of me was surprised, but the other part? Well, that’s just what happens in a small farming community. This family works in the farm drainage industry, and dad and uncle serve on the local volunteer fire department. They have served the community for their entire lives, as have their parents and grandparents. When they were in need, it was only natural for the local farmers, volunteer firemen, church family and community members to do their part to give back in return. Those of us who have children in the Hereford industry know all too well about the advantages and challenges of smalltown life. Sure, there are times when the disadvantages can be frustrating. But Mason’s mom, Holly, says it best. She works about an hour from home, and coworkers have asked why they don’t move closer to her place of work. Holly says it’s a no-brainer. The drive is absolutely worth the sacrifice for their children to be raised in such a compassionate, caring community. She and her husband, Karl, wouldn’t dream of moving anywhere else. No, absolutely no modern convenience could possibly surpass the value of community. Not even a Target or IKEA. And thank heavens for Amazon Prime.

Selling:

70 Herd Sire and Range Bulls 45 Open Registered Horned Heifers 2 Black Baldie Heifers Dear Friends and Cattlepeople, The MW Hereford Ranch is pleased to announce plans for our 33rd Annual Production Sale to be held on Saturday, April 7, 2018 at the ranch, located seventeen 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 beautiful bluebonnet spring and another great sale. We will have 70 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 45 twelve-fifteen month old open 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. There will be 2 black baldie heifers in this sale as well. As usual on sale day, we will have the cattle on display at 10 a.m., with lunch at 12 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. This year our sale will be broadcast online at www.superiorclicktobid.com. We will also have videos of all the cattle online around the first of April at www.superiorlivestock.com. If you need any assistance in registering to bid through Superior or have any questions regarding their services you may call them at 800-431-4452. 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.
