The grounds of the Denver Stockyards were filled with the red and white breed Jan. 16-19 for the 2019 National Western Stock Show (NWSS), garnering close attention from an excited crowd. Herefords put on a spectacular performance on the Hill and in the Yards, with a total of 806 head exhibited in the 113th NWSS — dubbed the “Year of the Yards.” The Denver section has it’s own table of contents on Page 45.

World’s Perspective ‘Threshold of an Era of Opportunity’

by Diane Meyer

The Hereford breed and the livestock industry have a history of embracing consistent, progressive change.

I had a severe case of writer’s block and needed inspiration. What better way to push forward than to study the past? I headed to the shelves of archived American Hereford Journals, looking for something published in the 1960s. The Jan. 1, 1961-April 16, 1961, collection caught my eye in the sea of sand-colored, hardback-bound journals on the bottom bookshelf.

The big, unchanging picture Diane Meyer is the editor of Hereford World. She can be reached at dmeyer@hereford.org.

| March 2019

After flipping through ads showcasing bulls for sale at the upcoming January 1961 National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver, I came across the equivalent of the World’s Perspective column.

A passage caught my attention: “There are new challenges, of course, and new problems, but this breed and its breeders are steeped in a tradition of victory.

There are new advances to be made, as this industry stands at the threshold of an era of opportunity in breeding, selection, feeding and in otherwise utilizing the new tools which scientific findings steadily make available.”

I was fascinated with how those words from 58 years ago are still true to a T. Curious, I dug up the January 1961 issue of the Polled Hereford World to see what other gold I could mine.

“The future” was a hot topic in January of 1961. In an article about the future of meat production, M.E. Ensminger wrote, “The only sure thing about predicting the future of this industry is that, for better or worse, there will be momentous changes…. Most of this progress of the recent past has been achieved through the application of science, automation, and technology.”

At this point I was borderline freaked out with our breed’s aptitude for futuretelling. (Should this be added to our list of documented strengths?) But there was a valuable take-home message in those manifestos: The who, what and

where’s of change will remain unknown, but the when, why and how’s of change will stay the same. Change is ongoing in the quest for improved efficiency and quality by means of science, automation and technology.

Our breed has a strong stake in the livestock industry because we embrace progress, which is synonymous with change. It appears we are still at the threshold of an era of opportunity — and always will be.

In this issue The 113th NWSS was another great year for Hereford breeders, who were applauded for their high-caliber genetics. Coverage of the 2019 show begins on Page 44. In honor of bull-sale season, this issue includes a section on marketing, with articles on pages 86, 92, 98 and 104. To my peace of mind, the aforementioned story at the root of my writer’s block was finished in the nick of time (see Page 34).

With 100 years in the Hereford business, Bayers Hereford Ranch was honored as a Century Breeder in 2018.

Read about the Bayers’ rich family history on Page 28.

There is something special about celebrating the past. And so, the March 2019 World’s Perspective will conclude exactly as it did in the January 1961 American Hereford Journal: “The great assurance for the future lies in the record of the thought and vigor which always have found application in the Hereford field.

There is no complacency here. There is yet much to be done as this still young breed faces its future. As the men [and women — it is 2019, after all] behind the breed and progressively, as for years past, just so will this greatest of all breeds of improved livestock continue to respond.”

Breed Focus

Herefords Are Turning Heads

by Jack Ward

The Hereford breed is making its presence known at national events.

In this issue of the Hereford World, you will find results of the 2019 National Western Stock Show along with a recap of the 2019 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show.

These events were fantastic, and once again, the American Hereford Association (AHA) had a strong presence at both.

The shows were deep during the National Western, with record numbers in the Yards. With the exception of Friday, the weather cooperated, so the pens were full of those looking to add a new herd sire or a top-notch replacement or just studying the various sire groups and programs. During the Yard show, the sale arena was packed full of breeders from around the world — and even those from other breeds, who were envious of the quality and the enthusiasm for the breed.

The Hill show started with the junior show Wednesday followed by the bull show Thursday. I would like to compliment all of the breeders and exhibitors for getting their cattle spot on despite our tight schedule. The bull show was the best I have ever seen.

The classes were deep and were loaded with very useful bulls that combined pedigree, a set of trait values and looks.

I will wager there were bulls from both the Hill and pen shows that will have a great influence on the Hereford breed.

During his final remarks, judge Charlie Boyd Jr. pointed out the Hereford breed is so unique because breeders emphasize structure and genetics — it is no longer one or the other, but both.

The open female show rounded out what was, again, an amazing show with an incredible amount of depth.

The Mile High Night Sale on the Stadium floor was also a huge success.

This sale has certainly become the

talk of the industry, and the breeders put forth their best effort yet to bring a great set of cattle and genetics. As most of you know, it takes a real army to get this sale set up and ready, and I want to thank everyone who helped get this accomplished.

AHA takes New Orleans After the National Western, our staff turned its sights to New Orleans to get ready for the NCBA convention and trade show. Our booth has become a destination spot for many of the attendees, and this year was certainly no exception.

The trade show gives us the opportunity to interact with those from all parts of the industry. This year, we had a special treat for those who came by the AHA booth on the opening evening. We hosted a carving station and offered samples of Certified Hereford Beef ® prime rib. Our booth was busier than ever before, and we made some great connections with producers from all over the U.S. We also hosted our second annual media briefing during the convention.

For this hour-long session, we invite media folks and anyone else who is interested to come to get an update on different activities going on at the AHA. The briefing highlighted AHA business, including breed improvement projects, commercial programs, junior activities, changes to Certified Hereford Beef carcass specification and various other projects in progress.

It has been a very exciting start to 2019, and the production and bull sales have certainly gotten off to a good start. Much of the U.S. has either seen huge amounts of rain or record-low temperatures. Mother Nature always challenges us during calving season, but I urge you to stay positive — each of you is making a difference in the industry, and it is being recognized.

Performance Matters

The Time Is Now

by Shane Bedwell

Review the top registration sires within the breed as you make breeding decisions.

It seems like just yesterday I saw many of you in Denver, and what a great Denver it was! The whole week was filled with enthusiasm for the Hereford breed. I would like to compliment all of the breeders who made the 2019 National Western Stock Show one to remember. There is no doubt this same enthusiasm carried into the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Convention in New Orleans and the Fort Worth Stock Show (FWSS). At the convention, Hereford genetics were a hot topic of discussion for many commercial cattlemen who stopped by the booth, and the FWSS ended a great run of shows in the 2018-19 season.

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.

Top registration sires There is a lot of excitement right now within the breed, and it is refreshing to see that momentum carry deep into commercial herds across the country.

With breeding season right around the corner, it’s time to finish those artificial insemination (AI) selections and/

or plug in walking herd bulls to carry your program forward.

Below is a list of the top 10 registration sires for 2018-born progeny as of Feb. 11, 2019. These bulls are an impressive group, particularly when you study their average expected progeny differences (EPDs). Nearly all traits fall on the right side of the spectrum for the breed average, with many of the traits ranking in the top 20 percent of the breed.

To say progress is being made within the breed would be an understatement, and I look forward to the progress that will be made with many of the daughters out of these bulls. The sale season has started off strong, and cattlemen are sorting hard on the offering of Hereford bulls. As to be expected, the bulls that tie together performance and phenotype are quickly rising to the top — and rightfully so. I’m proud to say producers can find these bulls in high volumes throughout the country.

The Hereford breed has done a great job suppling a superb product, and we cannot let up on our focused selection efforts. Denver was buzzing about the strength and depth of the breed. It is evident looking through this top-10 list these bulls offer plenty of versatility and possess the necessary traits to satisfy multiple markets.

As you finish your breeding plans, study how your bull battery fits your program and, most importantly, how it works for your customers. Regardless of how well your bulls perform, keep raising the bar — after all, a profitable customer is a happy customer.

Registration Do’s and Don’ts

by Laura Loschke

It’s spring calving season. During this time of year, it is increasingly important to make sure you have all of your information prepared to help ensure there are no issues registering your calves. Here are some basic do’s and don’ts to follow for a seamless registration process.

DO’s

DON’Ts

• Do have all required DNA testing done before registering your calves. All sires and embryo transfer donor dams must have DNA on file before calves can be registered.

• If transferring an animal on entry, don’t forget to include the date of transfer, the new owner’s full name and address, and whether the registration certificate should be mailed to the new owner or to you.

• Do submit inventories for the year and season in which you are registering calves if you are a member of the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program.

• Don’t include the “P” at the beginning of registration numbers for polled animals — simply enter the registration number itself.

• Do fill out the transfer information completely when transferring a calf on entry. Transfer information will appear on the back of the paper registration application or in a separate tab within the calf registration screen on MyHerd.

• Don’t request papers before paying for all transactions. On MyHerd, all “Transactions” must be paid before any papers will be sent out. Registrations still in “Transactions” have not fully been submitted to the American Hereford Association.

• Do fix errors and finish registering animals placed “on hold” due to an error. Go to the “Herd Details” tab and click “Pending Animals” to edit an entry. Click the entry that needs editing, then click the “Edit Animal” button toward the bottom of the page. Click “Update Animal” when done editing to confirm and update those changes.

• Do determine if a certificate is needed on a bull bred via artificial insemination (AI).

If one is needed, contact one of the bull’s owners or the semen company from which you purchased the semen straw for a certificate.

Laura Loschke is the education and information service coordinator of the American Hereford Association. She can be reached at lloschke@hereford.org.

Reminders:

• Effective Jan. 1, 2019, the American Hereford Association

(AHA) Board of Directors implemented a new artificial insemination (AI) certificate release policy. For any calves born Jan. 1, 2019, and after, you will no longer receive an email alerting you an AI certificate is available. Instead, that calf or those calves will be updated automatically based on the first calf that was entered. The calf whose registration information was entered first will be the first calf to be registered, and so on.

• You can enter registrations 24/7 on MyHerd.org. Also,

submitting registrations through MyHerd.org offers a $2-$5 discount per animal.

14

| March 2019

• The AHA launched the new MyHerd platform in late

January. Please remember the login process is different from the previous method. If you are having trouble logging in or navigating through MyHerd, please contact AHA Customer Service at 816-842-3757.

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

• The AHA moved its headquarters in February 2018.

Please remember to send correspondence to the new address at 11500 N. Ambassador Dr., Ste. 410, Kansas City, MO 64153. Forwarding mail has stopped, so mail sent to the old address will not reach the AHA office.

CHB Bites

by Kaylen Alexander

Certified Hereford Beef Partners with US Foods Atlanta

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

“We only serve the best beef money can buy. Our Certified Hereford Beef excels in taste, tenderness and flavor. The best part? When you purchase Certified Hereford Beef, you are supporting your local Hereford farm and ranch families!”

These words will now be heard at dining establishments across the state of Georgia with the launch of Certified Hereford Beef distribution in the state.

Certified Hereford Beef has partnered with US Foods® Atlanta and officially launched the program in the Georgia market on Jan. 11 to 100 sales team members who are eager to promote the brand.

“The Certified Hereford Beef brand is a great fit for US Foods® Atlanta because it offers differentiation and supports local Hereford farmers and ranchers in Georgia,” says Jonathan Wells, US Foods® Atlanta category operations manager. “The restaurants here have been buying and promoting Angus for years, but the local farmers and ranchers of Georgia actually produce a lot of Hereford.

We want all of our customers to have the ability to differentiate themselves from the Angus stereotype while supporting local animal agriculture with a product that is second to none.

“I have been in the beef industry all of my life, so I’ve had exposure to many brands and types of beef,” he continues.

We only serve the best beef money can buy.

Our Certified Hereford Beef excels in taste, tenderness and flavor.

The best part? When you purchase Certified Hereford Beef, you are supporting your local Hereford farm and ranch families!

”

“Certified Hereford Beef stands out by keeping the genetics pure and consistently striving for higher quality. This has created a story and buzz around the brand that we couldn’t resist.”

Brandon Wilson, Certified Hereford Beef national account manager and Tim Norsten, Certified Hereford Beef regional brand manager, were on hand to assist in

training the US Foods® sales team about the benefits of the Hereford breed and brand, as well as how to successfully sell Certified Hereford Beef in the marketplace.

“We are excited to launch the Certified Hereford Beef brand into the Georgia market,” says Amari Seiferman, Certified Hereford Beef president and chief executive officer. “This is a brand new area for Certified Hereford Beef and it offers unlimited potential to grow the brand. We are excited to work with US Foods® Atlanta and welcome them to the Certified Hereford Beef family.”

Although US Foods® Atlanta just launched the Certified Hereford Beef brand, the company already has lofty goals to make Certified Hereford Beef the premier beef of choice across Atlanta and other Georgia markets.

“We not only want to be the top selling foodservice division of Certified Hereford Beef products, but we also want to be part of a cultural movement placing Hereford on top of the beef market in the South,” Wells says. “The response from our customers so far has been overwhelming. Every customer we have visited has been blown away by the flavor, tenderness and consistency of the Certified Hereford Beef product.”

Youth Movement On the Hill with the Hereford Family

by Montana Lawrence

In January I had the privilege of traveling to Denver to represent the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS).

My first trek to the NWSS was with my family in 2015, but I had not been back since. On my first trip to Denver, I was so struck by the beauty of the mountains, the quality of the cattle and, most of all, the people. In preparing for my most recent trip, I anticipated the stock show might be different from what I remembered. I was surprised to find everything which awed me then still had me in awe now.

A sight to remember It was early in the morning, and I found myself in official dress, trudging up the Hill for the junior show with my fellow board

members. When we reached the top of the Hill, I stopped in my tracks.

For a moment, I stood taking in the view — the golden morning light catching the snow-capped mountains and shining down on the activity of people and cattle in the Yards. In the hustle and bustle of traveling, I had completely forgotten my destination and all the beauty it holds. I couldn’t help taking it all in.

Eventually, I made my way to the Stadium Arena, where I spent the day tailing cattle through the showring. Each time I have the privilege of working in the ring I am so impressed by the excellence of our junior exhibitors. The NJHA has so many talented young showmen who never fail to present their cattle with pride and dignity. Throughout the week, I saw many young people in the ring, on the Hill, in the Yards and on the washrack working hard to prepare and to exhibit excellent Hereford cattle. As I observed each animal enter the ring, it was clear how much care our breeders, herdsmen and Hereford families put into their cattle.

A night to remember On my last night at the show, my fellow board members and I attended the Mile High Night Sale. That night — more than any other — I connected with my fellow juniors, saw old friends and enjoyed the company of the Hereford family.

At the start of the sale, I found myself on stage with the beautiful Lot 1 Foundation Female heifer, donated by Lowderman Cattle Co., Macomb, Ill., and Michelini Cattle Co., Peru, Ill. It was quite humbling to stand beside such a generous family and to watch as their beautiful heifer raised $120,000 for the Hereford Youth Foundation of America. The donation heifer was purchased by a syndicate including Hoffman Ranch, Thedford, Neb.; Cort Scheer, Elsmere, Neb.; HME Herefords, Winterville, Ga.; Upstream Ranch, Taylor, Neb.; and Hopper Herefords, Maysville, Ky. I have experienced so much over the past few months with the junior board, but the one thing which continues to amaze me is the culture and generosity of the families in our breed. The NJHA is fortunate to have such a supportive group of people behind it.

That first morning in Denver was the first of many times I stopped to pinch myself and to thank God for the amazing opportunity I have been given to travel and to serve my fellow juniors. It is such a joy to travel the country and to see Hereford families everywhere share the same work ethic, generosity and love for Hereford cattle. The NWSS is one of the breed’s greatest get-togethers — a promise of great cattle, great people and great memories.

404: Page Not Found

by Kendra Davis

We’ve all seen it — the dreaded “404: page not found” screen.

A 404 error appears on your computer screen when the internet address you are trying to visit cannot be found. There can be various reasons for one of these errors: the URL might be incorrect, the content of the page could have been deleted or moved, or the connection to the website itself might be broken.

This problem can cause frustration, anxiety and even anger.

Even though it may not be the fault of the organization housing the website, in a searcher’s mind, that is where the blame is often placed.

Eventually, without the ability to find whatever they are searching for, individuals often give up on their initial search and turn to another option.

Why does this reaction matter?

One of the largest challenges for many farmers and ranchers is talking about themselves and their operation. By design, they are excellent at wearing many hats. On certain days of the week they may double as nutritionists, geneticists, veterinarians and mechanics.

Doubling as a photographer, writer or communications specialist is not generally something they are excited about — except in a

ABC Ranch

few rare cases. This apprehension is understandable; however, the problem with it is they may be unintentionally turning themselves into a 404 page.

Imagine this: A commercial producer is at the local sale barn buying some replacement females.

There, he overhears a conversation between two individuals raving about calves they have been getting out of the Hereford bulls they purchased and exposed to their cow herd the previous year from ABC Ranch.

The commercial producer goes home with his newly acquired replacement females, and he starts to think about his breeding decisions. He decides to try a Hereford bull and does a quick Google search for ABC Ranch, but he cannot find it.

He continues to dig for

anything he can find about ABC Ranch, but his searches come up short. Eventually he gives up and buys his bulls from XYZ Ranch instead. Unfortunately, ABC Ranch was a 404 — the page could not be found, or it did not exist.

What can you do about it?

My advice to ABC Ranch and other Hereford breeders is to attend The Brand Marketing Summit, June 3-4, 2019, hosted by the American Hereford Association in Kansas City, Mo. Not only will industry experts be on hand to help you establish a marketing plan moving forward, but we will also help you streamline the marketing process, making it easier and more time efficient.

Big or small, The Brand Marketing Summit provides an opportunity for everyone to learn from fellow Hereford breeders and industry experts. I encourage you to turn to Page 86 to learn more about The Brand, or visit Hereford.org/TheBrand. Please reach out to me with any questions you may have at kdavis@hereford.org.

Hereford Women

Cattlewomen of the Old West

by Sandra Ostgaard

Women were certainly a part of the Western frontier, and they made very important contributions.

There are some interesting stories about the introduction of women on the American Western frontier — particularly as both cattlewomen and wives of ranchers.

Most aspiring ranchers thought conditions were just too harsh and dangerous for a wife or new bride.

The idea at the time was to establish oneself in the ranching industry and then to return to one’s hometown to find a bride — or if an individual had a wife, to make arrangement to take her out West. This journey was the beginning of adventures for many a frontier woman.

Mary Ann (Molly) Goodnight Known as the Mother of the Panhandle, Mary Ann “Molly” Dyer was married to one of Texas’ most famous ranchers, Charles Goodnight. Following their wedding July 26, 1870, the couple spent a seven-year stint ranching in Pueblo, Colo., before

relocating to the Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle.

Charles found a financial backer in John George Adair, a wealthy Irish landowner, and the two men and their wives started the JA Ranch in Palo Duro Canyon. The group moved a herd of 100 Durham bulls and four wagons stocked with provisions to the site in May 1877 and built a two-room cabin. Soon the Adairs left the management of the ranch to Charles and Molly, signing a five-year contract guaranteeing Charles one-third of the ranch’s interest and a $2,500 annual salary. Charles began what would become an 11-year career with the JA Ranch, growing the herd — which included purebred Herefords — and expanding the ranch. At its peak the ranch spanned 1,325,000 acres.

Faithfully by his side was Molly, who not only carried out the duties of homemaker but also served as his helpmate on the ranch. Charles designed a two-horned saddle to make it easier for Molly to navigate the ranch on horseback. She quickly learned the ins and outs of ranch life, including the often long and lonely periods when few visitors would cross their path and the nearest neighbors lived 75 miles away. It’s said when a cowboy gave the Goodnights three chickens as a token of appreciation — intended for a Sunday supper — Molly made the chickens her personal pets to help pass the time.

Over the years, Molly earned the respect and admiration of the cattlemen for her compassion and the natural remedies she developed for wounds and fevers. She often held parties for the cowboys, mended their clothes and taught many of them to read. For this she was soon regarded as the “Mother of the Panhandle” or the “Darling of the Plains.”

Molly also extended her compassion to orphaned buffalo calves which were left to die after commercial hunters killed their mothers on the range. By rescuing the orphaned buffalo and bottlefeeding them, Molly established an impressive buffalo herd, soon known around the world as the Goodnight Herd. Many credit her efforts with helping to prevent the extinction of the Southern buffalo.

As the Panhandle became more populated, Molly donated her time to various philanthropic efforts.

In 1898 she and Charles helped establish Goodnight College through the donation of 340 acres.

Molly passed away in April 1926.

A fitting tribute to her life, her gravestone was inscribed: “Mary Ann Dyer Goodnight One who spent her whole life in the service of others.”

The NHW will be featuring historic women from the breed throughout the year in its newsletter and the Hereford World column, so stay tuned and get a look at some of the great women of America’s past!

A Century of Quality Stock

Bayers Hereford Ranch has carried a tradition of quality for a century — both in the cattle and in the people raised on the land.

by Christy Couch Lee

N

estled in the Ruby Valley of Montana, known for both beauty and tough winters hard on cattle, horses and cattlemen, you will find the oldest continuously running registered Hereford ranch in the state. It is also home to the newest American Hereford Association (AHA) Century Breeder — Bayers Hereford Ranch.

Since 1918 the Bayers family have devoted their lives to raising quality Hereford genetics on this land. And, as third-generation Jill Bayers Hotchkiss says, Herefords are simply in their blood.

“We all have a passion for Herefords and it certainly carries on,” she says. “They are a wonderful breed of cattle, and the people are the best. Many of my friends are Hereford breeders and it is like a big extended family.”

Jill’s sister, Kathy Bayers, agrees.

“From the time I can remember, our lives revolved around Herefords — from the yearling bull pen right across the road from our house growing up, to fitting cattle in the barn, to surviving an annual sale and watching the dedication my grandparents and parents had to the breed and the land,” she says. “Love of the breed has never left me, and involvement with Herefords formed who I am. I still melt at the picture of a cow and newborn Hereford calf.”

This devotion to the Hereford breed and its people is what led this family ranch, based in Twin Bridges, Mont., to be recognized as a Century Breeder during the AHA Hereford Honorees Reception Oct. 26, 2018, in Kansas City, Mo. That love of the breed — along with dedication, drive and commitment — has been woven throughout the generations of Bayers family ranching.

Go west, young man A native of Forest City, Iowa, Art Bayers grew up on the family cattle operation and farm. In 1908 he ventured to Lavina, Mont., to play baseball and to work in the town’s new bank. Naturally, as the area’s homestead agent, he homesteaded land and began to raise Hereford cattle.

The following year, he met Elizabeth Dwyer, who had moved to the area from Illinois and homesteaded land with her sister. In 1912 Art and Elizabeth were married. Six years later, they purchased polled Herefords from Henry Kuhlman of Nebraska, and, thus, Bayers Hereford Ranch was born.

The couple eventually moved their family to a ranch near Twin Bridges. The ranch contained a beautiful three-story round barn made famous for raising

Montana’s only Kentucky Derby winner, Spokane.

It also became a central part of the Bayers’ family operation, hosting more than 50 annual bull sales.

From this round barn, the family marketed cattle and genetics into 38 states and three foreign countries.

At one time Bayers Hereford Ranch included three locations in Montana and produced more than 25,000 registered Herefords. Registrations at their peak totaled about 800 per year, and for nearly a decade, the Bayers’ cattle sales were listed in the top 10 in the nation.

In 1930 the youngest of six children, Byron, was born. The only son in the family, Byron spent much of his childhood at his father’s side.

In 1953 Byron married Pauline Oberg, and they raised three children — Rich, Kathy and Jill — who were all actively involved in the ranch through the 1980s.

When Art passed away in 1960, Byron and Pauline purchased the operation from other family members and continued the family tradition of excellence.

Rich and his wife, Mary Ann, lived and worked on the ranch until 1986, when Rich began working in the ag division of Dow® Chemical Co. Kathy also had a long career in the agrochemical industry with Hoechst AG, Gowan® and FMC Corporation. And in 1997 Jill and her husband, Marc Hotchkiss, along with Byron and Pauline, established the publication Hereford America, which is now owned by Jill and Marc.

Byron sold much of the herd in 1990 after a lease and some key employees were lost but eventually built back a herd of about 100 polled and horned cows. Ehlke Herefords of Townsend, Mont., bought the majority of this second herd a few years ago. But, again, Byron hung onto a few head and rebuilt.

Sadly, Pauline passed away in 2015 at the age of 84, and Byron passed away in July 2018 at the age of 88. However, Rich notes, their legacy carries on in the many life lessons his parents instilled.

“I learned that whatever you do in life, go into it with your whole heart and energy,” he says. “I also learned to treat all people the way you would want to be treated, and always laugh when you can.”

Art and Elizabeth Bayers and their children (l to r): Beach, Jeanne, Helen, Byron, Bertha and Wanda.

Jill, Kathy, Pauline, Byron and Rich Bayers at Flathead Lake, Mont., where they celebrated Byron and Pauline’s 50th wedding anniversary.

Resiliency was a key life lesson for Kathy.

“I learned what it means to have true fortitude in the face of hardship, dedication to a goal and service to a community,” she says. “I also learned the importance of family and, most of all, faith in God. Additionally, I learned life should be fun, but failures will occur, and they must not define you or hold you back. Just hold your head up and try again.”

Focus on genetics Art and Byron were known for their focus on pedigrees, quality genetics and progress. Recognized by cattle producers as a leader in the industry, Art utilized both horned and polled Hereford genetics. continued on page 30...

The old round barn near Twin Bridges, Mont., was just as famous for raising registered Hereford bulls as it was for raising Montana’s only Kentucky Derby winner. Now owned by Hamilton Ranch, the barn has been restored and is used as an event center. The Bayers family held their 100th ranch anniversary celebration there in July 2018.

...A Century of Quality Stock continued from page 29

“Art was well respected in his ability to develop herd bulls and replacement females that could carry a herd,” Pat Goggins, a family friend and auctioneer for the Bayers for nearly 50 years, once said. “He helped a lot of Hereford breeders get a herd bull or replacement heifers, and he would finance them and do what he had to do to keep them in business. I respect that sort of leadership role.”

Like his dad, Byron also had the uncanny ability to develop herd bulls and replacement females. The father-son duo utilized data from performance testing programs to provide information to their customers, and they maintained a focus on quality and carcass genetics. Many of their bull customers were with them for many years, some for more than 50 years.

“When we think about it, the goal for every cattle producer is to produce a live calf and take that calf to market profitably,” Byron once said. “If a producer can’t do that, he or she isn’t going to do very well.”

Although Byron placed great emphasis on data, he knew true quality came from the basics.

“In my lifetime, things have changed considerably in the industry,” he once said of performance data and DNA testing. “I hope these tools never completely erase the fundamentals of cattle production.”

Jill agrees with the fundamentals her dad instilled in her.

“I still select cattle by looks first, but the performance, pedigree and DNA have to fit in with the phenotype,” she says. “I agree with Dad and hope the tools don’t replace good, solid cattle production.”

The Bayers’ leading foundation herd sires included Choice Domino, Onward and Prince Diamond.

In 1942, their Evan Mischief was named the first Nebraska Cornhusker Futurity champion.

Eventually, the family sold Evan Mischief to former Oklahoma Governor Roy Turner. The first $10,000 bull to sell at auction was sired by Evan Mischief, as was a $50,000 bull that sold in 1972 — the highestpriced bull to sell at auction at that time.

Other outstanding descendants of Evan Mischief were RC Dan Mischief 19th, the first Midland Bull Test champion; Evan Return, Montana Winter Fair champion; Evan Centurian; Evan Dominator; Evan Innovator; Evan Mischief 88; and Mischief 77

Diamond Mischief 3rd set a record in 1946 as Montana’s first $10,000 bull at the Tri-State Hereford Futurity.

— all of which became foundation sires for several other Hereford herds.

When it comes to the breed, Rich says every generation of Bayers has believed in Herefords.

“The Hereford breed, to me, is the benchmark for everything that is right in the cattle and meat industries,” he says. “From docility, economy, hardiness and gain ability, all the way to the taste and flavor at the table, Hereford cattle have all the attributes you want to see.”

Devoted to the breed Not only do the Bayers take great pride in quality Hereford genetics, but the family also believes in the value of giving back to the breed. Serving the Hereford industry has been a longtime passion for the Bayers family.

Byron served on the AHA Board of Directors in the 1970s and was elected president in 1976.

Additionally, he was the Montana Hereford Association (MHA) president for three separate terms.

He traveled the globe as a Hereford representative, attending World Hereford Conferences in Canada and Uruguay and went to Hungary as an AHA consultant in selecting Herefords. In 2009 he received the Canadian Hereford Ambassador Award, and in 2017 Byron was inducted into the AHA Hall of Fame. He was also named the MHA’s Man of the Year.

Current herd bull Mohican Hytek 422C was purchased from Mohican West in Laurel, Mont., and is used in the current Bayers breeding program.

Byron’s entire life was spent promoting the Hereford breed. To him there simply was no comparison.

“The Hereford breed has been — and will continue to be — a buttress of the cattle industry,” he once said.

Rich feels fortunate to have been raised in the Hereford industry.

“I learned so much about hard work, what it takes to be successful in business and how to interact with and treat people,” he says.

Kathy agrees, noting her parents and their involvement in the Hereford breed will leave a legacy of dedication, caring and fortitude.

“Particularly, I hope they’re remembered for their loyalty to the people and efforts in their lives, as well as their commitment to each other,” she says.

“Dad was often outspoken about what he thought was right. He took hits for that, but was undeterred by its downside. No matter whether you agreed with him or not, he did what he thought was right. Mom was unfailingly supportive and caring, and a tireless and often unrecognized worker behind the scenes.

Their determination is not often seen outside the agricultural industries.”

More to come Those fundamentals have shaped the future of Bayers Hereford Ranch. Today, the family’s registered cattle are raised at Friedt Herefords in Mott, N.D. “Our commercial herd is still at the ranch in Twin Bridges, and they are run on shares with local rancher Lony Shaw,” Jill says, adding, “We would like to have a small- to medium-sized herd of high-quality cattle, selected from the best genetics in the area in which we

Byron Bayers was inducted into the AHA Hall of Fame in 2017 at the AHA Annual Meeting. Pictured (l to r) are: Terri Barber, 2017 AHA president; Mary Ann, Rich, Byron and Kathy Bayers; Jill (Bayers) and Marc Hotchkiss; and AHA Board member Jim Bellis.

travel. I look forward to having a Hereford herd we and other family members can enjoy for many years.”

As for the family being recognized as an AHA Century Breeder? Jill says it’s tough to find the words.

“It is overwhelming, gratifying and humbling, all at the same time, to receive this honor for our family,” she says. “The generations before us put their blood, sweat and tears into our herd and promotion of Hereford cattle. Last year, my dad was inducted into the AHA Hall of Fame, and this year we were recognized for 100 years in the Hereford business. It’s such an honor. I’m glad he was able to participate last year, and he knew about the 100-year honor before his passing.”

Jill believes Bayers Hereford Ranch is poised and ready to continue as a source of high-quality, registered stock. And based on the genetics within Bayers Hereford Ranch — both in people and in cattle — this legacy will most certainly continue for generations to come.

Under the Western Sky Celebrating the iconic origins of the National Western Stock Show.

by Diane Meyer

T

he Super Bowl of livestock shows did not earn its universal moniker by happenstance.

Though not unlike other long-standing livestock shows, the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) has a reputation superseding all others.

Identifying the show’s distinguishing factor proves difficult, initially. Yes, the event is historic, but so are the other national shows. Is it the superior genetics, the steep competition, the thrilling atmosphere that sets the NWSS apart?

garners a view of a maze of wooden pens stretching in all directions. On a cloud-free morning — which, rest assured, the exhibitors in the pens below have prayed for — golden sunrays beam down on the railroad tracks skirting the eastern side of the Platte River. Scanning the skyline due south, the silhouette of the Stadium Arena stands proudly atop the “Hill.” A pathway bearing west under the railroad tracks gives way to the old Livestock Exchange Building, and the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains form the vast western horizon.

PHOTO COURTESY OF NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW ARCHIVE

It is a spectacle to behold, and one not soon forgotten. This perspective can only be gleaned from one place — the “Yards.”

Laying the tracks The 113th running of the National Western was designated the “Year of the Yards” — a theme honoring the hallmark of the worldacclaimed stock show. Complete with 25 Yard shows representing 23 breeds, 60 Hill shows, 29 rodeo performances, 24 auctions and hundreds of trade show vendors, the 16-day event racked in a cool 701,656 visitors.

Regardless of all the action throughout the grounds, the mecca for showgoers is undoubtedly in the old stockyards — home to a marvelous display of seemingly endless rows of cattle pens. Those pens carry the history of the once-thriving stockyards, a bustling hub for livestock commerce in the first half of the 20th century.

“The stockyards were a focal point for the Mountain West,” says Keith Fessenden, a historian and archivist for the NWSS. “It was an area where people could bring their cattle to sell for slaughter or to be transported further east.”

Where the grounds sit today marks the fifth location of the stockyards. Decades before the inaugural 1906 National Western, the Elephant Corral — a major trading post for teamsters and goldminers — served as Denver’s hot spot for purchasing cattle. Next, the stockyards established themselves at the current location of Denver Union Station. The third move was to a spot at roughly Cherry Street and 7th Avenue, about 6 miles south of the current grounds. However, issues with fragrancy resulted in another northern migration. This fourth move is noteworthy for being the first time railcars unloaded stock at the yards.

In 1880 the stockyards relocated to where they have resided the last 139 years, sprawling over a large stretch of land from 46th Avenue to Race Court. Pens were built east of the Platte River, with railroad tracks flanking both sides. Operating to their west was the once world’s largest sheep barn in a still-standing blue and white concrete building. The Armour & Co. packing plant and water tower sat to the north; Swift & Co., to the south.

Buyers with offices in the Livestock Exchange Building would make daily trips down to the stockyards to procure orders for the packers, whereupon animals were led up a ramp, across the stock bridge and into the packing plants.

The Denver Union Stock Yards Co. became a subsidiary of the Kansas City Stock Yard Co. in 1886.

Twenty years later, the company was sold to the National Packing Co. — a consortium of Chicago’s major meat companies including Armour, Swift and Morris & Co. Before its mandated dissolution in 1921, National Packing Co. possessed 23 stockyards and slaughtering plants nationwide, controlling more than 10 percent of the country’s meat production. As a result of the beef trust’s disbandment, the Denver Union Stock Yard Co. passed hands into local control in 1926.

Hereford.org

In 1907, the second annual NWSS was held in a circus-sized tent on the Hill.

January was a slow time of year, affording the opportunity to promote the stockyards. With the financial support of the National Packing Co. — along with an influx of businessmen attending the seven association conventions held in Denver that January of 1906 — the stockyards were an obvious choice for hosting the first NWSS. “It was held in the Yards for people to come see and be impressed with it all and to talk to people,” Keith continued on page 36...

The heart of the stockyards The cornerstones of commerce, all major stockyards had an exchange building to provide offices for stockyard company employees, commission salesman and cattlemen alike.

The Denver Livestock Exchange Building was no exception.

The first portion of the building was erected in 1898 and the eastern section — recognized for its beautiful red brick facade — was built in 1916. The two-story, western-most portion was added in 1918, and is now home to the Denver Stockyard Saloon.

In its heyday, the first floor housed one of the oldest radio stations in Colorado — the KFKA AM radio station based in Greeley — which broadcasted an hourly report on the current market prices. On the second floor, a chalkboard listed the latest prices in Omaha, Chicago and Kansas City.

This famous building will stay through the redevelopment, but the fate of its many offices is still up in the air.

Tracks for tradition

Showing in the Yards is all about teaming up to showcase the best of the best for the Delaney and Atkins families. “We look for quality across all measures,” Pete Atkins says.

In the pen directly opposite the distinct “In the Yards” archway, are Thomas Douthit, 4V Ranch Douthit Herefords, St. Francis, Kan., and his family, who have exhibited at the pen and carload show for 76 years — longer than any other Hereford breeder he knows of.

Back in the day, the Douthits brought 25 to 30 bulls to sell. Albeit successful, it was a lot of work — Thomas has found four head can do the trick just as well. He has one, time-tested tip for good advertising: “Bring good cattle,” he laughs. That, and “Talk to people. It’s really that simple.”

Showing in Denver is a tradition the 23-year-old aspires to continue for as long as he can, especially Hereford.org

Lowell Fisher comes back to Denver year after year because of the uniqueness and family-feel of the Yards show. “There’s different cattle for different people,” he says.

after his father’s, Stephen Douthit’s, passing three years ago. “My sister and I had to pick up the reins and keep going,” he says. “After 76 years, we can’t stop now.”

Also on the center aisle, three generations of Kansas Flint Hill cattlemen can be found hard at work in the Mill Creek Ranch pen. Former AHA President David Breiner, Alma, Kan., has been showing in Denver since 1974, a tradition he now shares with his son, Chad, and grandson, Karsten.

“It’s part of our family,” David says.

As Chad points out, an element of Denver’s draw is catching up with friends they see only once a year.

“It’s an annual tradition,” he says. “It’s a good time to interact with people you don’t get to see all that often.”

David describes the magnitude and degree of influence the show has for the breed. “Denver is a very important part of the Hereford business,” he contends.

“The sheer numbers and the history really set this show apart,” Chad adds.

Karsten has caught the show bug — the good one, not the Denver crud — and is also drawn to the Hill.

David smiles, saying, “From that standpoint, that probably means we’re going increase the Hill show.”

Midway between the 4-V and Mill Creek pens and just west under the catwalk, a canvas sign plastered with “Baumgarten Cattle Co.” overlooks a carload of Hereford bulls. Hailing from Belfield, N.D., the Baumgarten family has been in the Hereford business for 104 years. Coming to Denver is engrained in the family’s lifestyle.

Rollie Baumgarten first attended as an onlooker 45 years ago and has been showing for the last 25 years. A lot has changed since then, but he notes the unwavering sense of community in the Yards has been a mainstay of the Hereford breed. “The people that show cattle here are so close-knit and want everybody else to succeed without worrying about themselves,” he says. “Everybody here is part of your family and will help take care of you.”

In a pen that has been their home base for nearly a decade, Thomas Douthit and his family carry on the 76-year tradition of bringing their Hereford bulls to the NWSS.

the last time stock came into Denver specifically for the stockyards.

Multiple factors contributed to the change that swept the packing industry. Trucks had surpassed trains as the predominant mode of transportation, rendering central drop-off zones near rail tracks unnecessary. Additionally, railcars had to go through a lot more bells and whistles to haul stock — and many railroad companies gladly abandoned livestock shipping altogether.

The configuration of packing houses also underwent tremendous revisions. Older packing plants featured a vertical layout, where the kill floor was on the uppermost level, and carcasses subsequently made their way down a gravity-fed chain. When the horizonal layout debuted, many plants rebuilt in rural areas closer to their supply source. Other pros for relocating included cheaper labor, less union presence, easy access by truck and no smell complaints from city dwellers.

Corruption is also a contender for the packers’ demise. Although the passage of the 1921 anti-trust Packers and Stockyards Act disbanded corporate monopolies, commission firms remained notorious for price setting. In response, local auction markets rose in popularity during the ’60s as business began to wane for the major packers.

In spite of it all, the NWSS prospered, transforming into the world’s premier pen and carload show. continued on page 38...

Tracks for change At some point in the 1960s, stockyards across the country ceased being stockyards in the traditional sense. One record indicates March of 1973 was Hereford.org

“I think the show itself has thrived because it fills a need and a niche, and we still have the Yards show,” Keith says.

The Yards show is not immune to change, and many exhibitors note it mirrors the Hill in the sense that fitting and prepping are a more rigorous process.

Still, it refuses to shed its ruggedness and its appeal to the commercial cattleman.

History repeating, the NWSS Yards will strike a tad north once more, still within the Denver stockyard boundaries as they existed in the 1960s. In response to concerns about losing “the feel” of the stockyards, Keith assures it is a “definite” the Yards will be preserved as best as possible. The National Western Center Authority, tasked with managing the 250-acre property year-round, has carefully planned a billion dollars’ worth of renovations over the next four years. Preservation is a top priority, so those “100-year-old boards” on the outside of Lowell’s pen will remain part of the framework of the new Yards.

“Things will change, they never stay the same, but the feel of the Yards will be there,” Keith says.

Forthcoming years will yield a new pen setup, but the core dynamics of the pen and carload show are sure to hold steady: “Always bring good bulls,” Jerry counsels. “Nobody wants to see an average bull. The cream of the crop is always here.”

“This is like the Olympics,” Rollie echoes.

“Everybody brings the best they have.”

This commitment to excellence sets the Hereford show apart from all others, whether that be in the Yards, on the Hill or in the sale ring. Yet, more importantly, Hereford breeders prioritize people over business.

Few people understand this better than Jerry.

While “favorite memory” is perhaps not the right term, a story always top-of-mind is the time his truck and trailer were stolen as he was loading up to go home. “We were tying up a bull in the front [of the trailer], and someone jumped in the truck and took off with it while we were in the chutes.” Jerry and his crew tumbled out the back, while the thief made way across the railroad tracks with most of their equipment and, according to the press, a “milliondollar bull” — which was ironically crippled.

Halfway home, the sheriff’s Tracks for culture The show holds department notified Jerry his truck Decades of traditions have solidified was found in a semi reefer parking lot the romance of five blocks away, stripped of everything a timeless culture sustained by generations of Yards exhibitors.

Likewise, Lowell appreciates the helpful nature Case in point is Lowell, who has not set foot on the of Hereford breeders. “I’ve learned there are a lot of Hill for three years. “It’s nice to come after all these good, honest people in the Hereford business,” he says. years and know where your cattle are going to be and “There’s a lot of quality cattle people here, people that know who your neighbors are going to be,” he says. are great friends after a long period of time, people that care about each other and who understand it’s not all about winning — it’s all about participating.”

Participating in the Yards also means taking time to appreciate the surrounding history. “I like to go where they haven’t been replaced and look at the old things,” Rollie says. “The show holds the romance of the old West.”

Perched on the concrete catwalk, watching the last glimpse of sunlight crawl over the top of the Armour water tank as the sun sinks behind the Rockies, it is impossible not to relish in the saga of the old stockyards.

“There’s something about the Yards,” Pete reflects. “It still has that cattleman feel to it — that western feel.”

Weathering change is what the Denver stockyards do best. And, as sure as the city itself, the NWSS will always emanate as a landmark of the Mountain West, a testament to the pioneering cattleman of the past.

“There’s nothing like the Yards anywhere,” Jerry reflects. “You’re out in the open, under the sky, immersed in the climate, trying to sell your stock no With 25 years of experience, Rollie Baumgarten has learned to take matter what the conditions. There is no other show every day in stride at the NWSS. “You’re a long way from home with your like the National Western.” livestock,” he says. “Just go with the flow and be glad for the day.”

Lot 1 Foundation Female Raises $120,000 for Hereford Youth Hoffman Ranch, Upstream Ranch, HME Cattle Co., Hopper Herefords and Cort Scheer purchase Foundation Female supporting Hereford youth.

T

he Stadium arena was standing room only with Hereford enthusiasts anxiously awaiting the Queen of the Hill to arrive. LCC 6964 Queen Bee 43F ET did not disappoint when the gavel fell silent at $120,000 to benefit the Hereford Youth Foundation of America’s (HYFA) Growing a Lasting Legacy Campaign, Jan. 18, at the Mile High Night Sale in Denver.

The 2019 Lot 1 Foundation Female raised $120,000 for Hereford youth Jan. 18 during the Mile High Night Sale. Purchasing the female were Hoffman Ranch, Thedford, Neb.; Upstream Ranch, Taylor, Neb.; HME Cattle Co., Winterville, Ga.; Hopper Herefords, Germantown, Ky.; and Cort Scheer, Bassett, Neb. Lot 1 — LCC 6964 Queen Bee 43F ET — was donated by Lowderman Cattle Co., Macomb, Ill.; and Michelini Cattle Co., Peru, Ill.

The Lot 1 Foundation Female has kicked off the National Hereford Sale in Denver for more than a decade, with a total of $890,000 being raised to support HYFA’s mission — to recognize and reward the development of life skills and values in the next generation.

The Queen was purchased by Hoffman Ranch, Thedford, Neb.; Upstream Ranch, Taylor, Neb.; HME Cattle Co., Winterville, Ga.; Hopper Herefords, Germantown, Ky.; and professional saddle bronc rider Cort Scheer, Bassett, Neb. “I am a firm believer in the youth of the whole world,” Scheer says. “I do a lot of bronc schools to help people in rodeo, and it was my honor to go in there and donate to this foundation.

It is unbelievable what the foundation does to help the Hereford youth.”

LCC 6964 Queen Bee 43F ET was donated by Lowderman Cattle Co., Macomb, Ill.; and Michelini Cattle Co., Peru, Ill. The April 5, 2018, heifer is a daughter of R Leader 6964.

“It’s exciting times for the Hereford Youth Foundation of America when you can take a female of this caliber from such a reputable program and market her successfully to a group of breeders that all have a passion for Hereford youth and a desire to make a difference,” says Amy Cowan, American Hereford Association director of youth activities and foundation. “To the Lowderman Family, Michelini Cattle Co., Hoffman Ranch, Cort Scheer, Hardy Edwards and family, Hopper Cattle Co., and Upstream Ranch — you have truly made a difference by stepping up and getting involved in this year’s Lot 1 female. Queen Bee lived up to her Queen of the Hill motto and was the second high selling foundation female in HYFA’s history and the highest of any breed to sell this year in Denver.”

Hereford breeders rally attention at national shows and sales.

A

s auctioneer Eddie Burks took to the podium, a wave of excitement swept through the 5,000 attendees at the Mile High Night National Hereford Sale, Jan. 18, during the 2019 National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver.

“The Mile High Night National Hereford Sale in Denver is a credit to the Hereford breed and breeders,” says Joe Rickabaugh, American Hereford Association (AHA) director of seedstock marketing. “The consignors continue to bring advancing Hereford genetics to the National Western and these genetics are readily accepted by the many cattle enthusiasts of all breeds who flood the showring floor annually to witness this sale. This year’s crowd at the Mile High Night Sale was one for the record books.”

This year’s sale featured 38 outstanding Hereford offerings from established operations across the country. When the evening drew to a close, the auction grossed $836,450.

Nine bull lots grossed $364,200 and averaged $40,467. Twenty-six female lots grossed $447,250 and averaged $17,202. Three pregnancies grossed $25,000 and averaged $8,333.

This year’s stellar sale got off to a strong start with the Lot 1 Foundation Female, which generated $120,000 to support Hereford youth.

This year’s Queen of the Hill — LCC 6964 Queen Bee 43F ET — was donated by Lowderman Cattle Co., Macomb, Ill., and Michelini Cattle Co., Peru, Ill. The April 5, 2018, Hereford.org

Driven Toward Excellence Passion for youth and competition fuel 2019 Hereford Herdsman Matt Scasta’s desire to excel within the Hereford industry.

by Kayla Jennings

T

he junior champions had been named, and the judges had awarded the obligatory slap to the prize bulls. The cattle and exhibitors in the carload and pen shows had endured snow, and the best of Hereford genetics had been sold as the gavel lay silent Friday evening. Saturday had arrived, and Hereford breeders from across the country gathered on the Hill for the last show day in Denver, as everyone knows it.

While Jan. 19, 2019, drew toward an end, the most elite females in the Hereford industry were paraded around the ring one last time. The Boyd duo evaluated the livestock in front of them, and before long, the champion horned female was selected and handed a prestigious banner from the National Hereford Queen decked in white. Hereford breeders standing ringside applauded as Moore Cattle Co. and Buck Cattle Co., Madill, Okla.,

Immediately following the announcement, Scasta was congratulated by Jack Ward, Shane Bedwell, and his boss and friend, Jirl Buck.

stood victorious. Little did herdsman Matt Scasta and crew of Buck Cattle Co. know, the excitement was not over just yet.

Moments later, Scasta was called center stage to receive one of the highest honors bestowed among Hereford breeders — the 2019 Hereford Herdsman of the Year. By definition, “a herdsman is a manager, breeder, or tender of livestock.”

However, this honor represents much more than the simple definition courtesy of Merriman-Webster.

A true herdsman is up before daybreak, prepared to take on the day and whatever it may bring. A true herdsman leads by example — he does not ask of his crew anything he would not get his hands dirty doing himself. A true herdsman has a keen sense of competition and drive to push youth to be their best inside and outside the showring. A true herdsman exhibits superior skill both on the home front — calving heifers, breeding cows, following health protocol, cleaning pens — and on show day — preparing cattle for their big debut in the ring.

These qualities, and more, come to mind when fellow Hereford breeders think of Scasta, and it showed in their votes leading up to the big announcement.

“It’s truly an honor, especially with all the other amazing candidates that were nominated,” Scasta says with a grin. “I feel part of the Hereford family now.”

A lifestyle The Bryan, Texas, native grew up on a large commercial cattle operation, where he competitively showed Brangus cattle throughout his childhood. This season of life spurred his passion for the cattle industry and propelled him into the successful career he has today.

Prior to his tenure with Buck Cattle Co., Scasta gained much of his experience fitting cattle for Billy Rash and learning from Cheramie Viator.

Back then, he actually had a hand in selecting females from Buck Cattle Co. for the Rash family to exhibit across several shows. It was not long after Carrie Adams, Rash’s step-daughter, was Hereford.org

finished showing that Scasta packed his bags for the red dirt of Oklahoma.

After some time dayworking for the Buck family, it was clear to Jirl and his wife, Brenda, that they needed to make Scasta a more permanent part of the operation.

“My favorite thing about Matt is to have seen him mature and grow from being 18 years old to today, and the responsibilities he has taken on in that time,” Jirl explains. “He has been just like family. The thing that first drew me to Matt was the talent he had at a young age, and his work ethic was second-to-none. That is something he has maintained to this day. He takes it all to heart. He is most concerned about making sure the cattle are right and things are right in the whole operation — he is extremely talented, but his work ethic separates him from the rest of the field.”

Today, Scasta and his family reside in Madill, where their two boys, Reign

Matt and Tabatha have two boys, Cutter (l) and Reign (r), who keep them busy with sports and other activities.

and Cutter, help on the ranch and play competitive select baseball. He and his wife, Tabatha, married in 2005. She is a co-owner at a local shop — Amazing Grace Boutique.

As the current show and sale cattle manager, Scasta plays a role in everything from breeding to preparing show cattle to construction and mechanic work on the ranch.

“I’ve got two guys that work here with me full time, and I feel like I’m just as equal as those guys,” Scasta describes.

“I wouldn’t ask my guys to do anything I wouldn’t do. This is a multi-purpose operation. Some days we go help the cow guys all day long, and we never get back to the barn. It’s a pretty universal operation, and we’re a little different here. We run 500 cows, and most of the time that comes first.”

With that many cows and daily operations at the hands of the crew, Scasta knows none of it would be possible without their talent and dedication to their work and one another.

“I have been very fortunate to have many talented guys through here over the years,” he notes. “Some have come and gone and came back, but most all of them are still some of my best friends. With that said, I would like to sincerely thank the Moore boys, Jeremy Clark, David Young, and Seth Buckley.

Without them on our side, we could have not done what we have done over the years.”

The Bucks attribute much of their success to Scasta and his team. They say he takes pride in everything he does, whether it be clipping cattle, fitting for

a show or building a fence. On a typical show day, he can be found working nonstop at the stalls — and many times he never sees the showring. Buck Cattle Co. is proud to say Scasta has worked on almost 90 grand or reserve champions at national shows including the National Western Stock Show, the Fort Worth Stock Show, the American Royal, the North American International Livestock Expo, the National Junior Maine-Anjou Show and the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE).

“Matt’s goal in life is to be successful,” Jirl says. “He enjoys the cattle, he wants to be successful in the showring and he loves the production side of it. He is a great cowman, and he is very talented.” continued on page 66...

Scasta says he would not be where he is today without the support of his family and friends.

...Driven Toward Excellence continued from page 65

The excitement was contagious as Matt and Bailey celebrated a big win at her last JNHE in 2015.

Undoubtedly, Scasta says being a mainstay on the Buck crew for more than 22 years — and with the Hereford breed for the past eight years — has been an awesome experience. He is quick to say none of it would have been possible without his mentorship and friendship from Jirl, Brenda and Bailey. “They’ve been awesome to me and my family,” Scasta notes. “We’re more of a family than an employee.

Honestly, we’re best friends.”

Regarding their longstanding relationship, Jirl adds, “Matt’s number one is taking care of things at Buck Cattle Co. He has given some heart and soul to that, and we could never thank him enough for what he has done for us. My daughter went through all the showing, and Matt was like a big brother to her. He has been just a good role model. Like I said, his work ethic is where he really stands out.”

For the next generation Since 1987 Buck Cattle Co. has been raising and selling show cattle to junior members striving to experience success in the showring. The enterprise calves both spring and fall to meet its goal of producing cattle with style, balance and power to compete in the showring and also to perform in the real world of beef production. Beginning with just two sales per year, the company now hosts a monthly online auction, which offers a variety of products including show prospects, herd bulls, semen packages and bred females.

Scasta has been instrumental in providing these resources to customers and maintaining the mission of helping customers, namely junior members, succeed in the

showring and with their cow herds.

As Scasta would say, this “full-blown family operation” maintains a keen focus on developing junior members, as they have seen the immense value in those programs through Jirl and Brenda’s daughter, Bailey.

“Everything we do is pretty much focused toward the junior exhibitors, and that’s how we’ve built our business,” Scasta notes. In fact, these junior events are where some of their biggest honors and best memories are held. Scasta fondly remembers the last year Bailey showed and took home champion honors at the JNHE. He has been present her entire show career, and to see her succeed after all those years of hard work was a truly exciting moment for both the Buck family and Scasta. In tandem, Jirl notes one his favorite memories from over the years is Bailey’s first JNHE champion.

“The first junior national champion Bailey had with Herefords was pretty special to Matt because the Hereford breed is somewhat intimidating with the numbers, quality and the people involved,” Jirl recalls. “All of us, including Matt, really respect those within the Hereford breed. That win meant a lot to him because it was a realization of, ‘Hey, we can compete with these guys.’”

After wins like those, Jirl notes how Scasta’s true passion shines through.

“The thing that is really surprising about Matt is most people don’t realize how soft-hearted he is,” Jirl notes. “He can be emotional after a big win or success. That shows his true passion for the business, and most people don’t see that side of him. He is extremely tender-hearted, and he is extremely

passionate about it. Not many people have been able to see that side, and I am glad I have.”

That same heart is present as Scasta talks about helping juniors from taking their first step into the showring to their last step out. Scasta realizes everyone must start somewhere, and the future of the cattle industry is at the hands of the juniors he is fortunate to help year in and year out.

“There are several families that we’ve started their kids off at nine years old, and they have unbelievable cow herds now,” Scasta notes. “Really, that makes you happy more than anything. I feel like I’ve been a part of raising several kids along the way that have done good.”

At the end of the day, his biggest advice for juniors hoping to thrive in the cattle business is to discover where their true passion lies. “They have to enjoy it for themselves,” he says. “We’ve all seen parents and other people that push and drive, but those juniors have to want it themselves to be truly successful.”

After more than 22 years on the job, Scasta has not changed his mantra. It is all about working day in and day out to produce the best cattle possible for the customers taking them home, regardless of their operational goals. Perhaps the Buck family sums it up best: “Matt Scasta is a loyal employee, a great partner, a terrific husband and father and an all-around outstanding guy. Buck Cattle Co. notes how very fortunate [we] are to have Matt Scasta heading up [the] operation.”

JUNE 3-4, 2019

Big or small, your Hereford operation has a story to tell. Producers put their heart and soul into genetic selection, calving, health, nutrition and more, but perhaps do not feel comfortable or knowledgeable about how to tell the unique story of their brand. For any brand to be sustainable and profitable, it has to be memorable and convincing in the marketplace.

Join us in Kansas City, Mo., as we learn how to tell the story of two powerful brands — the Hereford breed and your operation.

The Brand Marketing Summit provides an opportunity to learn from fellow Hereford breeders and industry experts. Some highlights include sharing the Hereford story, building your brand, developing an effective social media strategy and analyzing marketing success stories.

Don’t miss out on this exciting event to hear from some of the best in the business.

THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS MARK CORE

Seedstock Marketing From a Producer’s Perspective South Dakota breeder Nate Frederickson shares his tactics for marketing and offering service to cattle customers.

by Kindra Gordon

“W

ork your tail off and take care of your customer.” That’s the advice Hereford breeder Nate Frederickson, Spearfish, S.D., offers to others seeking success and longevity in the seedstock business.

Nate, along with his wife, Jayna, two young sons, Teegan and Tiernan, and his parents, Mark and Mary Kay, run more than 500 cows. The herd is comprised of registered Hereford and Angus as well as commercial cows, which are used in an embryo transfer (ET) program.

Today, Frederickson Ranch markets bulls through a private limited liability company called Pyramid Beef, which was established in 2009 as a marketing outlet for the ranch’s bulls and commercial females. Pyramid Beef partners with Belle Fourche, S.D., cattleman Jason McLennan and markets 150 bulls a year through an annual production sale hosted at the bull development

Frederickson Ranch is a family effort. Pictured (l to r) are: Nate, Teegan, Jayna and Tiernan, and Nate’s parents, Mary Kay and Mark.

Natives to Minnesota, the Fredericksons planted roots in Spearfish, S.D., in the early 2000s, where they run more than 500 registered and commercial Hereford and Angus cows.

center on the Frederickson Ranch in South Dakota’s picturesque northern Black Hills.

From Minnesota to South Dakota It’s a family effort that came together “with a lot of luck and fate,” Nate explains of their ranch operation today. The Fredericksons’ roots began near Starbuck, Minn., where Nate and his sister, Sarah, grew up raising and showing Herefords. At the time Mark and Mary Kay ran 150 cows and marketed about 20 Hereford and Angus bulls annually.

As a young adult, Nate moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota in 2002 for a job opportunity in the animal health industry. “My plan was to work in pharmaceutical sales for five or six years and then move back to the family farm in Minnesota,” he says.

But plans changed during those years, as Nate’s younger sister also moved west to Wyoming and Nate married Jayna, who had roots in the Black Hills area. Nate and Jayna built a house, began to grow their cow herd and in 2009 held their first production sale. Thus, in 2011 Mark and Mary Kay left Minnesota and made the move to Spearfish, S.D. The Fredericksons were able to acquire a sizeable amount of land 10 miles west of Spearfish along the Wyoming border. Mark and Mary Kay renovated an existing house on the property; Nate and Jayna sold their existing home and property and built a home about one mile from Mark and Mary Kay. “It all kind of fell together,” Nate says of the transitions the family has made over the past decade. He adds, “We now have a home place that allowed us to grow our herd and to build a cattle development center — including calving pens, feeding pens and a large shed where our annual sale is held.”

Marketing key Through the journey of relocating and growing his seedstock business, Nate has recognized marketing efforts are key. “Raising quality seedstock cattle is only part of the equation. Marketing and direct

To help build strong customer relationships, Frederickson bulls are sold with both an unconditional guarantee and an injury guarantee and are delivered free of charge within 300 miles.

customer relationships are what contribute to success,” he notes.

Utilizing artificial insemination (AI) and ET to produce top-quality genetics has been foundational to the Fredericksons’ seedstock operation, as has using a complete herd health program and offering both an unconditional guarantee and an injury guarantee on bulls sold. Marketing efforts include a detailed sale catalog along with online video footage of each animal in the sale, a Facebook presence and online bidding on sale day via The Livestock Link. They also deliver bulls free of charge within 300 miles and offer a nominal discount to those who haul their own bulls home on sale day.

Specifically, Nate also strives to build one-onone relationships with his bull and female buying customers and often contacts them a few times throughout the year. “We try to visit their place, see their cow herd and link them with potential calf buyers when we can,” he explains.

Through his 14 years working in the animal health industry, Nate recognized the value of building relationships and has many industry contacts with whom he can connect his customers. continued on page 94...

“I strive to bridge the communication gap between buyers and sellers,” he says.

He acknowledges building those networks and relationships takes time, but his passion for the cattle business and the people in the industry make the time spent worthwhile.

In addition to involvement with his customers, Nate is a believer in industry involvement. He has been involved with both the South Dakota Hereford Association and the American Hereford Association (AHA), and his young sons attended their first Junior National Hereford Expo in Grand Island, Neb., in 2018 — as well as showing at their county fair and the South Dakota State Fair.

Looking ahead, Nate sees genomic testing becoming more important to his operation and the industry. He currently tests some of the bulls

he markets, and as customer interest in data grows, he will explore expanding the number of animals tested.

Ultimately, Frederickson Ranch will continue to provide its customers efficient, low-maintenance genetics along with exceptional customer service and avenues to help them add value to their bottom line. “Everything I do has to have a return, and I know my customers do, too,” Nate says.

As a member of the AHA Board of Directors, he is excited for the future of the breed. “Hereford is the breed I grew up with. The breed has a great group of people and a tremendous junior program; and Hereford cattle have a big future as we see the increasing demand for heterosis.

Herefords are a key step to meeting that demand,” he concludes.

From the auction block Livestock auctioneer Seth Weishaar has witnessed the seedstock marketing business from the auction block for more than two decades. What is the secret to those seedstock operations that stand out? The Belle Fourche, South Dakotabased auctioneer says, “People who take care of their customers stay in business.”

Weishaar acknowledges that in the seedstock industry: “There is more competition for business today.” As a result, he has seen many seedstock breeders step up to offer more service and quality to their customers. “Some breeders are buying back customer’s calves or helping them find a market for them,” he says. “The guarantees of standing behind the seedstock cattle being sold have gotten stronger. And, more seedstock breeders are visiting their customers and building relationships.”

Genetics have also advanced.

Weishaar believes there is more use of artificial insemination and top-quality genetics. Fifteen years ago you hardly saw a 600-pound calf in October,” he shares. Now, that’s common and often without growth implants and without increasing cow size beyond 1,200 or 1,300 pounds.”

He adds, “About the time you say a record can’t be broken, someone does. So who knows, in the future with improved genetics we might be seeing more 700-pound calves in October.”

Weishaar notes he is also encouraged by the influx of more young people coming into beef production either as seedstock or commercial producers.

Regarding marketing, he sees social media and internet campaigns being integrated with print and radio ads but

concludes, “A one-on-one relationship with customers is still stronger than any of those tools.”

High on Hereford Weishaar’s dad, Lynn, a successful, wellknown livestock auctioneer since the 1970s, has seen and sold cattle of all breeds and types. But on his ranch near Reva, S.D., the commercial cattleman has chosen to run Hereford bulls on his black cow herd. Of this combination, Lynn Weishaar says, “I like the black baldy calf, and we especially get a huge premium for our baldy heifers because people want them.

“Herefords help produce good sound cattle that are useful, easy keeping, have a good disposition and longevity,” he adds.

Selling Strategically What are the trends occurring in advertising – and is print obsolete?

by Kindra Gordon

T

here is no denying digital is everywhere.

In fact, recent statistics suggest the average consumer spends 33 percent of his or her time online and on social media.

That said, from a marketing perspective, Laurie Hoffman, vice president of client services for the Sioux Falls, S.D., based marketing agency

“

VistaComm, says, “I We believe definitely feel the digital world is vital today because it’s a print and technology is integrated into everyone’s life. Effective digital world — digital marketing meets the using print to consumer where they are.”

However, this perspective drive digital. does not mean your — Laurie Hoffman marketing should be a oneand-done digital effort.

Hoffman offers another trend: Print is making a comeback. The U.S. Postal Service recently reported direct-mail marketing is on the uptick.

So the rumor print is obsolete — which Hoffman notes has been circulating for several years — has not yet rung true, because more marketing pieces are hitting mailboxes.

The best marketing strategy appears to be quite similar to genetic selection advice: Don’t follow fads or select for single traits. Rather, Hoffman shares, “We believe it’s a print and digital world — using print to drive digital.”

”

Starting point

Creating and maintaining a well-designed website can pay dividends when it comes to reaching new customers and legitimizing your business.

98

| March 2019

If you are re-evaluating marketing efforts for your cattle business — or need to hit the reset button completely — Hoffman suggests breeders keep this mantra in mind: “It takes money to make money and marketing helps with that.”

A good starting point is developing a strong website. “A website is a must to legitimize your business. People will check websites out first,” Hoffman says.

Additionally, she emphasizes content on your website — and across all marketing efforts — should tell your story. “It’s important to make sure you put personalization into your site so people understand who you are, what you offer and your culture,” she says. Additionally, working with a trained web designer may help ensure key words are tagged to enhance search engine optimization (SEO) — i.e. people can find you when they do a web search for certain key words.

To determine which marketing avenue to direct your budget toward next, Hoffman suggests Hereford.org

reviewing your target audience to determine which medium will be most effective. Consider the ages, geographic locations and types of cattle operations representing your audience. Then evaluate the best method to share your message: print, branded emails, radio, TV, texts, social media or a combination of a few of those.

Hoffman underscores that having a website alone is probably not an adequate marketing strategy. “Many businesses have a website, but the traffic is not there,” she points out. “Marketing creates that traffic. And, multi-channel marketing is vital to reach all age groups.”

Tactics to consider No two breeders will have identical marketing strategies. To determine an effective plan, Hoffman offers these insights: Include a call to action. The call to action is what drives traffic and activity — this is as simple as suggesting the customer go to the website or pick up the phone and request a catalog.

Print with visual appeal. Of print pieces (ads or flyers), Hoffman says, “If they are visual they can be effective at catching any age group. Be sure to include your personalized messaging, your value proposition and call to action. Print should drive

Videos resonate with consumers. One way to increase marketing power is to post videos on your own site, as well as through online auction services such as Superior Livestock Auction.

traffic to your website or social media for people to get more information.”

Videos are big. Lots of consumers across all age groups are consuming video. Hoffman reports 80 percent of consumers will remember a video ad they viewed in the past 30 days. continued on page 100...

The power of a visually appealing advertisement is in no way obsolete, as they can be a great avenue to drive traffic to online resources.

Email marketing works. Research shows people will open an email sent from a reputable source.

Still, Hoffman advises, “Keep it simple with a quick introduction with links, push info and drive to website for calls to action.”

Keep in mind, content can be repurposed.

Hoffman acknowledges it can cost money to generate content but recommends utilizing a single content piece in multiple places — on the website, in direct-mail flyers and in print ads.

“The repetition gives a consistent message and repurposing content saves your budget,” she says.

Seek opportunities to be featured in articles.

This exposure helps share your story so customers or potential customers develop a connection and level of trust with your business.

Consider frequency. “Staying top-of-mind is important — not just at sale time. Use your marketing efforts to create brand awareness and name recognition for your business on a consistent basis,” Hoffman says. “That’s where multi-channel marketing comes in, so you can stay in front of your audience.”

Reaching your target audience, establishing trust and staying top-of-mind year-round is critical in building brand awareness and name recognition.

Take your marketing to the next level During the 2019 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show in New Orleans, Ranch House Designs founder and owner Rachel Cutrer and Chief Marketing Officer Ashley Grant shared their marketing advice for cattle operations in a Cattlemen’s College session.

The duo said a website should serve as a centralized “home base” for any business — all print, social media, email and broadcasting efforts should drive traffic back to the website for more detailed information.

Surveys conducted by Cutrer’s Texasbased marketing agency have gleaned livestock industry members prefer a strong website — even more so than a Facebook-only presence. More than 80 percent of 1,000 people surveyed indicated they visit a website before making a purchase.

Results also reinforced the claim that print is not dead. “Print media is still huge in agriculture,” Cutrer shares. “People love their catalogs, breed publications and state ag publications.”

Additionally, she says communicating with customers via email blasts can be beneficial, noting, “Building an e-mail list [to target customers] is worth it.”

For those wanting to evaluate or revamp their marketing efforts, Cutrer and Grant suggest reviewing the ranch name and brand and then incorporating your values into the slogan, logo, photography and colors used in marketing pieces.

Each of these factors should be used consistently to market your ranch

business. Cutrer notes photography can often be everyday images you take with professional photography done on occasion. Images can be placed on your website, on social media platforms and in print.

Lastly, regarding budget, Cutrer and Grant recommend producers invest 1-3 percent of gross sales into marketing.

They also stressed the importance of consistently marketing to customers throughout the year, rather than the month or two prior to a sale offering.

Ranch House Designs representatives offered valuable marketing advice to cattle producers during the 2019 Cattlemen’s College at the Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show.

Small Can Be

Mighty Marketing strategies for smaller seedstock operations.

by Kindra Gordon

H

ow can seedstock operators with a small cow herd market their genetics and stay competitive in today’s beef industry? Hereford World posed that question to three individuals to share their insights, including Marilyn Lenth, Lenth Herefords, Postville, Iowa; Shannon Worrell, Worrell Enterprises, Mason, Texas; and Kansas State University (K-State) Professor and Cow-calf Extension Specialist Bob Weaber.

From Iowa Marilyn Lenth’s secret to marketing is, “I take a lot of time with our customers, and I enjoy it,” she says. She and husband, Doug, run 85 registered Hereford cows and have the herd split to calve in winter and fall. Doug and his parents, Elden and Bea, started the cow herd more than 50 years ago and sold bulls and females via private treaty throughout the years.

When Marilyn and Doug married 11 years ago, she brought a love for cattle and technological talent to the operation.

Now retired from a former career in information technology, Marilyn has created her own database on the cows and tracks everything from rate of gain to herd health — information which is also shared with customers. She has even created color-coded stats sheets for customers, allowing for easy review and comparison of various expected progeny difference (EPD) traits.

The Lenths still sell private treaty, but they have added their own personalized service. For example, many customers will reserve a heifer or bull prospect from the herd even before the calf is weaned. The Lenths winter the calf and allow

104

| March 2019

it to develop before delivering it to the customer.

On a heifer they may even work with the client to determine a suitable breeding sire and artificially inseminate (AI) the heifer for the client.

“I like to say it’s our own version of a heifer development program,” Marilyn says. Sometimes customers will select a package — a group of heifers and an appropriate outcross bull. She notes this process works well because many of their customers are also small commercial or purebred operators.

Recently, the Lenths have had several new younger customers who are getting started as well as a few who are newly retired and, because of the docility of the breed, love having Herefords around. A few years ago, Marilyn was even contacted by a gentleman in China. Originally from Ohio, he was preparing to move back from overseas and wanted to have a group of Herefords ready for delivery when he returned.

Marilyn credits their website for bringing in such an array of customers. “Our website is our primary marketing tool,” she says. Her tracking reveals about 60 percent of their sales are related to their web presence.

“Find your niche,” she advises other cattle producers. “It’s not going to be the same for every operation.”

Additionally, she encourages, “Get involved in your state association, state sales, consignment sales. That opens doors.”

C

attle industry members gathered to speak easy in the Big Easy, Jan. 30–Feb. 1.

During the four-day 2019 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show, New Orleans hosted more than 8,700 cattlemen and cattlewomen for the beef industry’s largest annual meet-up.

General highlights Delivering an entertaining keynote address at the Opening General Session Jan. 30 was four-time Super Bowl champion and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw. Bradshaw told stories about his experiences in the beef industry and in the NFL, expressing his passion and appreciation for cattle producers and their efforts in improving beef cattle production. In addition to his football and broadcasting career, the Louisiana native is a gospel Certified Hereford Beef prime rib was a huge hit at the NCBA trade show’s opening night Wednesday, Jan 30. More than 1,200 samples were given to attendees that stopped by the AHA booth.

and country singer, best-selling author and a breeder of championship quarter horses.

Attendees had the opportunity to spend three days navigating the 6.5-acre trade show, while also attending a wide range of engaging events including live cattle-handling demonstrations and the popular Cattlemen’s College educational forum. More than two dozen sessions in eight Cattlemen’s College session tracks covered topics like herd management, cattle health, and improving profitability.

CattleFax held its popular U.S. and Global Protein and Grain Outlook Seminar Thursday, Jan. 31. The session looked at the factors that drive the market, such as domestic and international supplies and demand. Art Douglas, Ph.D., presented his outlook for 2019 U.S. and world weather at the session.

The Closing General Session Friday, Feb. 1, featured an appearance by Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, who encouraged the audience to tell its story to today’s consumers.

Holding meetings at this event were the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, the American National CattleWomen, CattleFax and the National Cattlemen’s Foundation.

Hereford highlights

Booth #1539 was buzzing with excitement at the NCBA Trade Show. On opening night, trade show attendees lined up to sample some delicious Certified Hereford Beef ® prime rib. American Hereford Association (AHA) Board Director Jim Bellis, Aurora, Mo., was on hand to help serve more than 1,200 samples.

The AHA team hosted a media event Thursday morning, where leading industry media and other guests learned about the Association’s ongoing progress and latest projects.

Executive Vice President Jack Ward, Chief Operating Officer and Director of Breed Improvement Shane Bedwell and Director of Commercial Programs Trey Befort led discussion on how the AHA and Certified Hereford Beef LLC are capitalizing on the breed’s strengths to meet the needs of every component of the marketplace.

“The Hereford breed continues to Cattlemen and cattlewomen from across the country were eager to discuss the prominence of strategically strengthen our position by Hereford genetics in the beef industry.

focusing on all industry segments,” Ward says. “We are totally committed to the beef cattle industry.”

Interest and enthusiasm for the Hereford breed was a common theme of discussion throughout the convention. Over the course of the three-day trade show, cattlemen and cattlewomen from across the country stopped by the AHA booth to discuss the advantages Hereford genetics have brought to their herds.

Throughout the convention, Bedwell and Ward were interviewed for multiple media platforms to discuss the importance of Hereford’s role in the beef industry.

Bedwell appeared on a panel of breed association representatives Friday morning for NCBA’s Cattlemen to Cattlemen, which will air March 5 on RFD-TV.

Regulatory Reform and Implementation. In addition to the NCBA annual meeting, the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board, CattleFax, American National CattleWomen and National Cattlemen’s Foundation also conducted business meetings.

Editor’s note: Additional coverage of the 2019 Cattlemen’s College and CattleFax Outlook sessions will be included in future issues of the Hereford World.

Leaders selected Jennifer Houston, Sweetwater, Tenn., was named president of the NCBA at the organization’s annual meeting Feb. 2.

Houston previously served as the 2018 presidentelect. Houston and her husband, Mark, own and operate East Tennessee Auction Market in Sweetwater.

She has been active in the beef industry for more than 30 years, first serving at the state level then being elected to position in national posts. She has been an NCBA board member since 1996.

Marty Smith (Florida) was elected NCBA presidentelect and Jerry Bohn (Kansas) was elected vice president.

Don Schiefelbein (Minnesota) was elected chair of the NCBA Policy Division and Todd Wilkinson (South Dakota) was elected vice chair. Laurie Munns (Utah) was elected chair of the NCBA Federation Division and Buck Wehrbein (Nebraska) was elected vice chair.

Elected to serve on the Beef Promotion Operating Committee from the Federation, joining Munns, Wehrbein and ten members elected from the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board, were: Katie Brenny (Minnesota), Gary Deering (South Dakota), Bradley Hastings (Texas), Chris Jeffcoat (Pennsylvania), Clark Price (North Dakota), Jeff Rudolph (Nebraska), Don Terry (Tennessee) and VeaBea Thomas (South Dakota).

NCBA policy priorities were also established at the meeting. These priorities included 2019 work in Fake Meat; Trade and Market Access; Dietary Guidelines; and Hereford.org

AHA Chief Operating Officer and Director of Breed Improvement Shane Bedwell discussed the role of breed associations and genetic trends in the beef industry on a panel for an episode of NCBA’s Cattlemen to Cattlemen.

Cattlemen’s College overview More than 1,500 cattlemen and women took advantage of educational opportunities at the 26th annual Cattlemen’s College in New Orleans, Jan. 29-30.

Keynote speaker at the breakfast Jan. 30 was Bill Cordingley, head of wholesale banking North America, Rabobank. He spoke on “Greater Expectations, Bigger Opportunities,” touching on the different forces that work together to yield a complex demand story for beef.

He shared U.S. cattle producers should expect “a more global and uncertain environment” in the demand for beef. He also pointed to technology and the pace of change as having an influence in the future of the cattle industry and recommended producers be engaged in helping tell a positive story.

A highlight of the Cattlemen’s College event was a Jan. 29 afternoon session that featured Temple Grandin, Ph.D., conducting a cattle handling and facility design presentation. A reception followed, with the full slate of concurrent educational sessions the following morning.

GENERATIONS. That’s Why You Need LongRange®(eprinomectin) For Up To 150 Days Of Parasite Control.1 Bloodlines. You’re as proud of yours as you are of theirs. But if you used a short-term dewormer like Cydectin® (moxidectin) or Dectomax® (doramectin), you may not have been doing your genetics justice. That’s because your cows and heifers were probably reinfected with parasites just halfway through the grazing season – right when they need to gain weight to breed back and give milk.

Only LONGRANGE delivers true season-long control.1

25.4 lbs.

LONGRANGE heifers gained 25.4 lbs. more on average over those treated with DECTOMAX.2

Out here, there is no time for shortcuts. This year, think LONGRANGE.

These days, my kitchen is in a continual layer of flour, sticky honey puddles and peanut butter smears in random areas. I wish I were kidding.

You see, our middle child, 10-year-old Nolan, began the hunt for a “business” he could begin in the winter months to generate enough revenue for an indoor, heated washrack or a new show heifer. He dreams big.

He began by making a list of all possible jobs he could do — CIDR removal and cleaning, halter making, lawn mowing, novel writing. By the time he was done, the list was 95 items long. He weeded it down to five. And then down to the winner — a dog treat bakery. And, thus, Bark! Bakery was born.

Bark!

A Note From Our Customer

“The cattle performed very well on the rail and in the feedlot. The Sandhillsired-cross cattle were heavier and graded better. Most of the heifers from that calf crop have become replacements. Overall, I am very pleased with the results.”

He tried a few different recipes and allowed several dogs to sample them.

Dogs that loved treats and dogs that were finicky. The first winning recipe — peanut butter and honey — was determined.

He made a double batch to launch the business — 26 bags of dog treats.

He sold out of those within minutes of the first Facebook post. The next baking day? Eight batches, and he sold out within hours.

Now, he’s shipping these treats across the country — they’ve made it to Texas, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska and Indiana. Although he’s been the one spending hours baking, bagging and sorting these treats, the delivery, billing and shipping are more than a 10-year-old can handle just yet. So that’s where Mom comes in.

I have a business of my own to run — two of them, actually. But I also feel that if he is willing to put in so much work on his end, helping him with the “adult” responsibilities

| March 2019 1/31/19 4:28 PM

is the least I can do. So, his business is now my business, too.

It’s a fine line we walk as parents — encouraging our children to follow their passions and dreams and providing the support they need without running ourselves ragged in the process. We do it in so many ways — with their show cattle, of course. But also, with sports, school activities, 4-H and FFA. They’re all positive experiences and can ultimately help our children become the responsible, hardworking adults we dream of them becoming. Our rational minds know this is only a season — it won’t last forever. The question is, how do we support their needs and ambitions without driving ourselves absolutely crazy?

I truly don’t have the answer. For now the only thing I know to do is to attempt to set schedules.

Certain days will be devoted to dog treat baking and bagging. As show season approaches, we will set our daily schedules of washing and rinsing and exercising the cattle. In the midst of it all, I’ll fit in my work schedule and travel and volunteer commitments.

I have a feeling, based on conversations with friends with grown children, we will look back on these days and wonder how we did it. But you know what? We all get it done somehow. It may not be pretty, but, hopefully, our children will look back on these days and be thankful for what we sacrificed for them. In the meantime, I’ll do my best to ignore the sticky counters and floors. And keep on driving the boy around town and to the post office to make deliveries for pups that love his treats.

Phil grew up in Escalante, Utah.

After high school, he began working for Remington Arms, making ammunition for World War II. Six months later, he was transferred to the state of Washington, where he continued to work on a project for the war. Following his work in Washington, he was again transferred and worked in Kentucky and Indiana. In April 1946, Phil returned to Utah and moved to Antimony with only $50 in his pocket and a suitcase of clothes.

In Antimony, Phil met his sweetheart, Billie Gleave. They began their married life in Antimony, where they raised four children. They bought a general store where they sold everything from tires and saddles to clothing and food. Also, in 1948, they bought their first registered polled Herefords.

Phil Allen and Son Polled Herefords sold breeding stock throughout the western United States and into Canada and Mexico.

Phil was one of the founding members of the Utah Polled Hereford Association and served as a longtime president.

| March 2019

Award from the UBIA. He was also recognized by the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association for his contribution to the livestock industry in Nevada and for being the longest, continuous consignor at the Fallon All-Breeds Bull Sale. He judged numerous cattle shows and fairs throughout the West, including the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver several times. He served on the state Bureau of Land Management Advisory Board and on numerous grazing and irrigation company boards.

Phil served as an Antimony Town Board member and as mayor for a combined total of 22 years. He also served as a member of the Garfield District School Board. He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He fulfilled several callings, including Antimony Ward Bishop, Panguitch Utah Stake High Council and Scoutmaster.

He is survived by his children, JoAnn Peters and her spouse, Steve, Bradley Allen and his spouse, Bobbe, Shannon Allen and his spouse, Julie, and Tracie Peterson and her spouse, Scott; 15 grandchildren; and 15 greatgrandchildren, with a few on the way.

Donald Harvey Jones, 86, of Wise River, Mont., passed away Dec. 31, 2018.

Donald lived his entire life on the Donald Jones family ranch in Wise River. He was drafted into the Army in 1953 and was based in Alaska. After his time in the Army, he returned home to the family ranch in 1955.

He married Elizabeth Pilling and, for more than 58 years, they ranched side by side, raised their family and were involved in several organizations within their community and Beaverhead County.

Donald became a director on the Vigilante Electric Co-op Board in

1961 and was an advocate of rural electrification for 53 years when he retired from the board in 2015. He also served on the state board of rural electric cooperatives, and the boards of Western Generating and Transmission (G&T) and Northwinds Publishing. He served on the school board in Wise River for several years and was a superintendent for the Beaverhead County Fair in sheep and hogs. He was instrumental in getting a new fire hall in Wise River by donating the land and helped to get the building off the ground. Don was a member of the Elks in Dillon since 1962. He also belonged to the Masonic Lodge of Wisdom and was a member of Stockgrowers and the Montana Woolgrowers.

In his early years, he owned a small plane and often would be found flying in the fall looking for lost cattle on the forest permits. Don was a third-generation rancher following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, who came to Wise River in 1910. Registered and commercial Hereford cattle and sheep were always a part of the ranch. In 2002 he was named Commercial Man of the Year by the Montana Hereford Association.

In 2010 he and Liz celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, along with celebrating 100 years of the ranch being in the Jones family. Donald loved to travel and spent a lot of time traveling with Liz and their special friends Jay and Jean Nelson.

He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth; his children, Keith Jones and his spouse, Wendy, Yvonne Jones, and Jodi Pauley; grandchildren, Nora, Nathan, Dalton and Jesse; his sisters, Retha Sigman and her spouse, Loren, and Lynn Mugaas and her spouse, John; and several nephews, nieces and cousins.

Thomas Bradbury, of Byers, Colo., passed away Jan. 10, 2019.

Tom was born in Denver, was raised in Littleton, Colo., and Tom Bradbury was a proud graduate and passionate supporter of Colorado State University (CSU). While at CSU, he met and married Margaret, who has been his faithful and loving wife for 60 years. The couple founded Bradbury Land & Cattle Co. near Byers in 1958 and lived on their ranch for 45 years before moving to the Denver area in 2003. Tom remained active at the ranch over the years and served as president of the American Hereford Association in 1993.

Tom was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame, proudly served on the NWSS Executive Board for more than a decade, was a CSU Distinguished Alumni Award recipient and was inducted into the Colorado Agriculture Hall of Fame. He served on various boards, both locally and nationally, for more than 50 years.

He was compassionate toward youth and tried to encourage them to better themselves. Just as he aimed for continuous improvement in his ranches and businesses, he strived to make his local community and the ag world better.

Tom is survived by his wife, Margaret; his children, Suzie, Tom and his spouse, Penny, Lisa and her spouse, Mark, and son-in-law, Allen; 13 grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

Bonnie Catherine (Black) Colyer, 92, of Bruneau, Idaho, passed away Feb. 1, 2019.

Bonnie was the great-granddaughter Bonnie Colyer of early Bruneau pioneers, who settled in the Bruneau Valley in 1876. She grew up on the family ranch in Bruneau with her brothers, John and Jim Black. She Hereford.org

graduated in 1944 from Bruneau High School. After graduation, she worked at the Jones Store in Bruneau, and, soon after, a young cowboy from Three Creek named Ray Colyer stole her heart. She eloped with Ray to Elko, Nev., as they wanted to get married before Ray was shipped to Japan during WWII. After the war ended, Ray returned home near the end of 1946. During that time, they lived at House Creek, near Three Creek, while Ray was working for the Hawes family. In 1949 they moved back to Bruneau and began ranching with Bonnie’s family. Through years of hard work and dedication, Colyer Cattle Co. was created and became the foundation of the ranch that grew and evolved into what it is today. Bonnie remained on the ranch in Bruneau for her entire life.

Bonnie was a member of the Rebekah Lodge and a lifetime member of the Bruneau Legion Auxiliary, serving as secretary for many years. She was chairman of the Bruneau-Grand View School District Board during the time its elementary schools were built. She also served as secretary of the Bruneau Buckaroo Ditch Co. for many years. In 2013 Bonnie was honored to be named the grand marshall of the Bruneau Rodeo.

At the age of 90, Bonnie received her concealed weapons permit.

In her spare time, she enjoyed sewing satin pillowcases and cowboy scarves for family and friends. One of Bonnie’s favorite pastimes was gambling, and she was always up for a trip to Jackpot, Elko or Reno. One of Bonnie’s greatest accomplishments was writing her autobiography titled “Shoo-Fly & Alkali,” which was published in 2013. She kept a journal for more than 70 years, so she had plenty of information from which to draw. Over the last five years, Bonnie enjoyed doing book signings and signed more than a thousand books.

Bonnie is survived by her husband, Raymond Colyer; her children, Catherine Sellman and her spouse,

Sherman Eugene Leonard, 81, of Chatsworth, Ga., passed away Feb. 7, 2019.

Sherman was a Sherman Leonard member of Center Valley United Methodist Church and the Georgia, East Tennessee and American Hereford Associations. He was the co-owner and president of Leonard Brothers Construction for more than 56 years.

Sherman was a member of the Murray County High School Hall of Fame, and the highlight of his career was the reconstruction of the rock building that formerly served as the high school. He enjoyed raising polled Hereford cattle for more than 70 years. Many long evenings were spent preparing his truck and trailer for traveling to local, state and national shows. It always delighted Sherman to watch his grandchildren prepare their cattle in anticipation of the next show.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Peggy Leonard; daughters and son-in-law, Kay Lynne and Don McCurdy, and Sherri Leonard Ridley; brothers and sister-in-law, Jerry and Judy Leonard, and Ronnie Leonard; sisters, Joan Leonard Plylar, and Cindy Leonard; sisters-in-law and brother-in-law, Malissa and Billy Steele, Vivian Duvall, and Peggy Manis; grandchildren, Seth Ridley, Matt and Lydia McCurdy, Chad and Miranda Ridley, and Krissi McCurdy; seven great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Sales Digest: A Year in Review Hereford Bulls Average $4,880 Consistent with previous years, commercial and seedstock producers continue to demand and leverage Hereford genetics in their herds. The average price paid for a Hereford bull in 2018 was $4,880.

The number of Hereford bulls sold in production and consignment sales in 2018 also held steady at 6,833 head — compared to 6,986 in 2017.

A total of 6,049 female lots were sold — a 170-head increase from the previous year — and averaged $3,876.

The total average paid for Hereford cattle in 2018 was $4,408, and total number of lots sold was 12,882.

Understanding the Sales Digest summary The following is a summary of the monthly sales reported in each issue of the Hereford World. The sales included in this report occurred from January through December of 2018.

Tables in this report are organized by production and consignment sales for both bulls and females.

Each table is sectioned into ranges of lots sold, with the highest-averaging sales listed at the top of each section. Only production sales averaging $4,500 or higher were printed in this report, but all sales from 2018 were used to compute the year-end numbers.

The “Sales Digest” column appears monthly in the Hereford World, and the Hereford Sales Digest is emailed each week.

Extended-Release Injectable Parasiticide 5% Sterile Solution NADA 141-327, Approved by FDA for subcutaneous injection For the Treatment and Control of Internal and External Parasites of Cattle on Pasture with Persistent Effectiveness CAUTION: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

INDICATIONS FOR USE LONGRANGE, when administered at the recommended dose volume of 1 mL per 110 lb (50 kg) body weight, is effective in the treatment and control of 20 species and stages of internal and external parasites of cattle: Gastrointestinal Roundworms Bunostomum phlebotomum – Adults and L4 Cooperia oncophora – Adults and L4 Cooperia punctata – Adults and L4 Cooperia surnabada – Adults and L4 Haemonchus placei – Adults Oesophagostomum radiatum – Adults Ostertagia lyrata – Adults

Lungworms Dictyocaulus viviparus – Adults

Grubs Hypoderma bovis

Ostertagia ostertagi – Adults, L4, and inhibited L4 Trichostrongylus axei – Adults and L4 Mites Trichostrongylus colubriformis – Adults Sarcoptes scabiei var. bovis Durations of Persistent Effectiveness

Parasites Gastrointestinal Roundworms Bunostomum phlebotomum Cooperia oncophora Cooperia punctata Haemonchus placei Oesophagostomum radiatum Ostertagia lyrata Ostertagia ostertagi Trichostrongylus axei Lungworms Dictyocaulus viviparus

150 days 100 days 100 days 120 days 120 days 120 days 120 days 100 days 150 days

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) should be given only by subcutaneous injection in front of the shoulder at the recommended dosage level of 1 mg eprinomectin per kg body weight (1 mL per 110 lb body weight).

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Withdrawal Periods and Residue Warnings Animals intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 48 days of the last treatment. This drug product is not approved for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, including dry dairy cows. Use in these cattle may cause drug residues in milk and/or in calves born to these cows. A withdrawal period has not been established for pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.

Animal Safety Warnings and Precautions The product is likely to cause tissue damage at the site of injection, including possible granulomas and necrosis. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. Local tissue reaction may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter. Observe cattle for injection site reactions. If injection site reactions are suspected, consult your veterinarian. This product is not for intravenous or intramuscular use. Protect product from light. LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) has been developed specifically for use in cattle only. This product should not be used in other animal species.

When to Treat Cattle with Grubs LONGRANGE effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season.

Environmental Hazards Not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive rotational grazing because the environmental impact has not been evaluated for these scenarios.

Other Warnings: Underdosing and/or subtherapeutic concentrations of extended-release anthelmintic products may encourage the development of parasite resistance. It is recommended that parasite resistance be monitored following the use of any anthelmintic with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test program.

TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY Clinical studies have demonstrated the wide margin of safety of LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin). Overdosing at 3 to 5 times the recommended dose resulted in a statistically significant reduction in average weight gain when compared to the group tested at label dose. Treatment-related lesions observed in most cattle administered the product included swelling, hyperemia, or necrosis in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin. The administration of LONGRANGE at 3 times the recommended therapeutic dose had no adverse reproductive effects on beef cows at all stages of breeding or pregnancy or on their calves. Not for use in bulls, as reproductive safety testing has not been conducted in males intended for breeding or actively breeding. Not for use in calves less than 3 months of age because safety testing has not been conducted in calves less than 3 months of age.

STORAGE Store at 77° F (25° C) with excursions between 59° and 86° F (15° and 30° C).

Protect from light. Made in Canada.
