Dominating Denver

Hereford breeders brought their very best to command attention at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) Jan. 15-18 in Denver. Whether up on the “Hill” or down in the “Yards,” Hereford breeders had a reason to be proud of the 646 head that paraded the grounds of the NWSS. With 32 pages of coverage, the Denver section has it’s own table of contents on Page 36.

World’s Perspective

Circle of Motivation

by Diane Meyer

Stick to your goals and inspire others to do the same.

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

| March 2020

The onset of spring always makes me think “fresh start.” At this point every year I experience an unwanted selfreality check about the New Year’s resolutions I didn’t stick with — or even start. Normally, I chalk those up as a loss, but this year I have a new perspective on sticking out goals. Of everything that has happened this busy winter, the most important was my younger brother, Knute’s, graduation from the U.S. Marine Corps Officer Candidates School. My parents and two close childhood friends of mine and my brother’s made the trip east to Quantico, Va., to witness Knute’s commissioning to a second lieutenant. The pride we felt was indescribable. His somber and proper statute was a testament to the rigorousness of his training, and I couldn’t help but wonder how he had managed to push himself 200% every day for the last 10 weeks. I didn’t expect his answer to be as simple as, “You, Mom, Dad; all of my friends back home.” Lately when I feel overwhelmed or think about throwing in the towel, I

think of my brother — how he can’t give up no matter what the challenge. I’m motivated knowing my problems pale in comparison, that I have no excuse for quitting. But what motivates me most is knowing my determination is motivation for Knute — every goal I set and accomplish pushes him to do the same. The best way I can describe this is the circle of motivation.

In this issue The March issue of the Hereford World covers the famed National Western Stock Show in Denver (see Page 36 for more details). Always an inspiring article in this special section, this year’s winner of the Hereford Herdsman of the Year (Page 58) is a perfect example of someone who is motivated to do her best by those who she motivates to do their best. There were several new faces exhibiting in the historic Denver “Yards” this year, and I invite you to turn to Page 28 to learn more about their experience. I hope their stories inspire some of you to make your inaugural trip to Denver next year. In his discussion about seizing opportunities (Page 86), writer Bruce Derksen points out, “It is the perfect time to strip down the positioning and the potential of the seedstock operation with an honest eye.” As you wrap up sale and calving season and get ready for breeding season, I encourage you to evaluate your resolutions and identify who, not what, motivates you. Acknowledge those who depend on you for their own positive attitude and let that drive you to keep improving. In the spirit of the Marines, Semper Fidelis. Stay faithful to your goals and remain motivated knowing your mindset motivates those around you. May your spring be bright and your smile brighter. Hereford.org

Cattle Con Recap

by Jack Ward

Catch up with Team Hereford after its trip to the 2020 Cattle Industry Convention deep in the heart of San Antonio.

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

We just returned from the 2020 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show, and this year the American Hereford Association (AHA) welcomed guests from around the world to our booth, which featured our new national advertising campaign “Come Home to Hereford.” It is always fun to share the Hereford message with those who are considering incorporating Hereford genetics and equally exciting to hear the success stories from those who have added Hereford genetics to their herd.

Hereford highlights One of the highlights of the week happened during the opening of the trade show where we offered guests a sample of Certified Hereford Beef ® (CHB) prime rib. In addition to the trade show, the AHA staff spent a great deal of time meeting with not only commercial cattlemen but also feedlot operators, packers, researchers and various other industry partners. The AHA also hosts a media briefing each year to give a quick update on the various projects the AHA has been working on, along with a glimpse to what is on the horizon. This year, we shared with the media the relaunch of the Pan American Cattle Evaluation and recapped the changes in the carcass specs for CHB and the growth of its premium program. On the marketing front, we shared the success of “The Brand” Marketing Summit and touched on the recent launch of Herefords On Demand. We also reported that we had celebrated a 20-year anniversary of the National Reference Sire Program. The Red Angus Association of America staff joined us to update the media on the progress and achievements of the Premium Red Baldy program. Doug Stanton, with IMI Global,

| March 2020

joined us to highlight the changes to the Hereford Advantage program and shared more than 3,000 head have been enrolled. The first set of cattle were marketed very successfully through a Superior Livestock Auction. In commercial news, we shared the AHA has launched a new marketing opportunity to represent feeder cattle from producers who utilizing Hereford genetics. The AHA fieldstaff are working with S= Cattle, owned and operated by Nolan Stone, to connect all segments of the industry from the seedstock producer to the commercial cattleman and to the feedlot operater and the packer. Reach out to your regional AHA fieldman to discuss your options.

Partnership announcement In addition, the AHA is excited to announce a new partnership with Merck Animal Health to help educate our members and their customers on the value of a well-planned health program to give feeder cattle the best opportunity to succeed. We realize genetics are a key component to a producer’s bottom line, but without proper weaning and health protocols, those genetics may not ever have an opportunity to be successful. If you are planning a meeting, sale or any type of event, reach out to the AHA to see how to utilize our partnership with Merck Animal Health. Lots of exciting things are happening around the AHA. Attendees at NCBA were certainly very upbeat about the new year. As always, there will be challenges, but cattlemen are always ready for a challenge. Finally, it has been a great winter in Kansas City, Mo., as the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. It was an exciting road to the championship — go Chiefs!

Performance Matters

Multi-talented Players

by Shane Bedwell

Review the top-10 team of sires of 2019-born progeny to see how they deliver maternal excellence and end-product merit.

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.

It’s hard to believe March is already here, and, at least to this point, the winter months have been milder compared to a year ago. The National Western Stock Show (NWSS) was another successful event filled with great cattle and strong commerce. The cattle that strolled the “Yards” and paraded the “Hill” were a great example of the strength of the breed. I want to give a shout-out to all of this year’s new exhibitors, as it was great to see these programs showcasing the genetics they are marketing. After the NWSS, Jack Ward and I had a great trip to Red Bluff, Calif., to watch the 79th anniversary of the Red Bluff Bull and Gelding show. I’m proud to say the England family from Oregon exhibited the supreme champion bull of overall breeds. Congratulations to all who made this event successful, and Hereford breeders will be proud to know Certified Hereford Beef ® was the feature product throughout the week-long event.

Spring planning With breeding season right around the corner, I hope you all have taken

the time to analyze your calf crops and have a plan in place to continue making progress with your customers. The start of the 2020 sale season has a great feel to it and Hereford genetics have been in strong demand at sales I have recently attended. I’m especially encouraged by how many new commercial cattlemen are choosing to come home to Hereford. These producers like what they see and recognize the value Hereford genetics provide to their operations. Below is a list of the top 10 registration sires for 2019-born progeny as of Feb. 3, 2020. As you study the average expected progeny difference (EPD) summary of these bulls, notice the strong multi-trait excellence this group offers. In fact, half of these bulls have daughters recorded with an average nursing ratio of 101.1, and seven of these bulls are, or have been, tested through the National Reference Sire Program. The proof is in the pudding and as a whole this group is delivering when it comes to maternal excellence and end-product merit. I encourage you all to dig deep into your bull battery to find areas where you are excelling and areas where you can improve. It sure seems the front door is open for Hereford genetics to continue making great strides in the commercial market, but we must keep a keen eye on economically relevant traits which make all segments of the business profitable. It’s far from a silver bullet answer, but striving for aboveaverage trait excellence and focusing on convenience traits like docility and feet and leg soundness are a must to generate profit. How ’bout them Chiefs!!!

Breed Improvement Hereford and Red Angus heifers recruited for genomics research

Guy Colyer Bruneau, Idaho 208-599-0340 guy@hereford.com

The University of Missouri is recruiting 2,500 Hereford heifers and 2,500 Red Angus heifers to participate in a heifer puberty and fertility genomic research project. Heifers should be registered Hereford, registered Red Angus, or commercial Hereford or Red Angus. Hereford × Red Angus crossbred heifers targeted for the Premium Red Baldy Program would also be a good fit for the research project. Producers must be willing to work with a trained veterinarian to collect the following data:

Bob Harrell Baker City, Ore. 541-403-2210 bob@harrellhereford.com

• Reproductive tract scores collected at a prebreeding exam 30 to 45 days prior to the start of the breeding season.

Gary Buchholz Waxahachie, Texas 214-537-1285 gary@gkbcattle.com

• Pelvic measurements (height and width) collected at the same prebreeding exam 30 to 45 days prior to the start of the breeding season.

Rob Helms, chairman Lexington, Tenn. 731-571-8213 candymeadowfarms@hotmail.com Joe Ellis Chrisman, Ill. 765-366-5390 ebeef1@aol.com

Hall of Fame/Merit nominations due June 1 Nominations for the AHA’s prestigious Hall of Fame and Hall of Merit awards are due Friday, May 29. Deserving recipients for the 2020 induction will be honored at the AHA Annual Meeting and Conference, Oct. 23-25. The Hall of Fame honor recognizes Hereford breeders who have dynamically influenced the direction and advancement of the breed, while the Hall of Merit

honor commends any individuals who have greatly influenced the cattle industry. Contact Anne Stuart at astuart@ hereford.org or 816-842-3757 for more information.

• Pregnancy determination using ultrasound reporting fetal age in days. Ultrasound will need to occur no later than 90 days after the start of the breeding season. In addition, heifers must have known birth dates and have weights recorded either at a year of age or at the time of pre-breeding exams. Estrus synchronization status (yes or no) and the protocol used should also be recorded. Service

sires (artificial insemination and natural) should also be reported. Animals in the study will receive free genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (or in the case of commercial Red Angus, Red Navigator results). Producers will collect a DNA sample using either a blood card or an Allflex tissue sampling unit. Continuing education is available through the University of Missouri National Center for Applied Reporductive and Genomics in Beef Cattle to provide veterinarians with training in reproductive tract scoring, pelvic measurements and pregnancy determination. Producers who do not have a relationship with a trained veterinarian will need University of Missouri professionals to come to their farm to collect trait records. Producers needing University of Missouri assistance to collect trait records will need a sufficiently large group size in order to justify travel to their location. For example, producers outside Missouri will likely need a contemporary group larger than 50 head of heifers. If you are near the borderline of qualifying, please contact Jared Decker, deckerje@missouri.edu, or Jordan Thomas, thomasjor@missouri.edu. Data collection will begin now and continue until June 1, 2022.

Marketing New feeder calf marketing service creates opportunity for Hereford cattle Hereford producers will have access to more marketing outlets for their feeder cattle thanks to a new partnership between the AHA and S= Cattle Co., a cattle-buying business owned and operated by Nolan Stone based in Eaton, Colo. Hereford.org

Through this partnership, AHA field representatives will locate and source Hereford-based feeder cattle to be marketed through Stone, with the aim to increase marketing avenues for commercial Hereford producers — and drive additional value for the breed. “The American Hereford Association is excited to announce this innovative partnership with a long-established expert in sourcing and feeding high-value feeder cattle. Combining Nolan Stone with our talented field staff, we gain momentum in driving more value for Hereford and Hereford-based genetics,” says Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president. AHA field representatives and Stone will also help locate backgrounding opportunities for feeder cattle and will organize locations across the country to pull small loads of cattle to get them weaned, vaccinated and sorted into marketable, uniform groups. Stone says he is looking forward to working with the Association to identify valuable, readily available Hereford-cross feeder cattle across the country. With nearly 20 years of experience in the cattle feeding business — 12 of which were spent as the general manager at the Five Rivers Kuner Feedlot — Stone sees opportunity for Hereford genetics in the marketplace, particularly with the premiums associated with baldy calves. “[Herefords are] great cattle, increasingly productive, and obviously they have the maternal traits that made the Hereford breed famous,” Stone says, adding that first-generation (F1) Hereford crosses offer a valuable crossbred advantage because Hereford genetics differ from other breeds. Genetics are important when it comes to feeding cattle profitably, Stone says. Coupled with a good vaccination program, cattle that perform predictably are most desired. Recently, the AHA reported a 20% increase in growth traits and an impressive 150% gain in marbling in the last decade. “I think there’s a lot of order buyers out there, a lot of ways to market your cattle, and I try to focus on doing what I say: Making sure the cattle fit the Hereford.org

descriptions that we provide to the buyers, and trying to get the best price for the seller and trying to find what the buyers want.” The end goal is to create more options for producers, Ward says. “Cattle across the country are continuing to get better. This opportunity will allow producers to more easily market those feeder cattle to buyers who value quality Hereford and Hereford-cross genetics,” he says. To learn more about options for marketing your feeder calves, please contact your regional AHA field representative, at Hereford.org.

National Shows Update to AHA show rules As of May 1, 2020, the following show rules will go into effect. • The age of calves at the side of cow-calf pairs will change to 240 days from 270 days.

Member Service Member Services Tips and Reminders by Laura Loschke

A friendly reminder that if you are a MyHerd.org user, the American Hereford Association (AHA) does not mail your monthly statements and member service fee renewal notices. Once you are signed up for MyHerd, those items are sent to the primary email address on file for your membership.

MyHerd reminders The AHA implemented this policy with the launch of MyHerd in the fall of 2014. The policy was an effort to make things more efficient for both the breeder and the AHA. Annually, this approach saves the AHA more than $20,000 in postage alone and is just one of the many areas the AHA has focused on by creating operational efficiencies which, in turn, have allowed the AHA to minimize fee increases over the last two decades. Remember that if you are needing a hard copy of any packing slip or a monthly statement, it can always be printed from MyHerd by hovering over the “Jobs & Reports” menu and then selecting “View Reports & CSV’s.” On the next screen, select “Accounting” from

the dropdown menu. This selection will take you to a screen that shows all your packing slips and monthly statements. You can click on any of them to download and print. Keep in mind if you are a MyHerd user, you can check on your or any linked account’s membership status at any time by logging into MyHerd.org, hovering over the “Member Details” tab and then selecting “Member Dues & Service Fees.” From this screen, you can renew any dues or bill any member service fees needed. Simply click on the member you are wanting to renew; the whole line will become highlighted in blue. At this point, if the membership needs to be renewed or the service fee needs to be billed, the two buttons below the list “Renew Membership” and “Bill Service Fee” will become clickable. The button(s) will only become clickable if that particular task is needed for the specific member highlighted. You can also tell if the membership needs to be renewed or the service fee needs to be billed by the columns shown on this screen. The column titled “Service Fee” will read “Billed” or “Unbilled”

To get a hard copy of any packing slip or monthly statement, one can be printed from MyHerd by hovering over the “Jobs & Reports” menu and then selecting “View Reports & CSV’s.” On the next screen, select “Accounting” from the dropdown menu. This selection will lead to a screen that shows all packing slips and monthly statements. Click on any of them to download and print.

depending on that members status. The column titled “Renewal Needed” will show a “Y” if the membership for that member needs to be renewed. If the membership does not need to be renewed, the “Renewal Needed” column will be blank for that member.

DNA The AHA requires DNA testing to be done on any sire born after Jan. 1, 2011, out of which calves are being registered, as well as on any dams that are being flushed and having embryo transfer calves registered to them. The AHA allows several different types of samples to be used for testing including hair, tissue, blood cards and semen straws. Since the AHA does weekly evaluations, the GE-EPDs have the ability to change frequently. Therefore, they are no longer printed on the DNA results statement. However, the GE-EPDs can be found online through MyHerd or the “EPD/Animal Search” function. Please keep in mind that GE-EPDs will not appear until two weeks after the DNA results are received at the AHA. For example, if a DNA result is received at the AHA on March 2, 2020, the GE-EPDs would not show until March 16, 2020. Be sure you are giving yourself plenty of time to submit your sample, get the results and have the GE-EPD numbers updated. EPD updates are posted weekly, every Monday morning. Having trouble navigating through MyHerd? Contact AHA Customer Service at 816-842-3757. To sign up for MyHerd, email your member number to myherd@hereford.org. Laura Loschke is the records supervisor and education and information service coordinator of the American Hereford Association. She can be reached at lloschke@hereford.org. Hereford.org

Certified Hereford Beef showcases at PFG Wine and Dine Certified Hereford Beef ® returned to the second annual Performance Food Group (PFG) Wine and Dine Showcase Jan. 13 at the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in downtown Nashville. The upscale event serves to showcase PFG’s ability to accommodate fine-dining

restaurants with a wide variety of products to help drive sales and profitability. As an invited participant, CHB Brand Manager Ty Ragsdale served boneless short ribs and explained to attendees this cut’s significance when it comes to the eating experience and the postive impact the product can have on a restaurant’s bottom line. The PFG sales team noted the “on-trend” cut piqued their customers’ interest in diversifying their menus to create more traffic and revenue. Former culinary instructor at Nashville’s Opryland Hotel Ken Lemon says, “The CHB short ribs are tender and richly flavored, and everyone should consider them for their menu.”

New York supermarket chain stocks up with Certified Hereford Beef Gristedes Supermarkets, Manhattan, N.Y., kicked off 2020 by adding Certified Hereford Beef products to their store inventory.

Youth Movement

The NWSS Transition Period

by Samuel Lawerence

The 2020 National Western Stock Show (NWSS) was one like attendees have never seen before and will not ever see again. Although things on the Hill were not different from years past, the “Yards” had a different story to tell. Growing up, I always dreamed about Denver and being able to witness the rich history of the NWSS firsthand, and in 2016 I had that opportunity.

Change is inevitable I was a member of the Noble County 4-H livestock judging team representing the state of Indiana in the 4-H livestock judging contest. It was an amazing first trip to say the least. Our team received the honor of high team overall on the 4-H side, and our neighboring county’s team won the FFA side of the contest. In addition to

having an awesome contest, we also had the unforgettable opportunity to experience walking through the Yards. As my livestock judging career continued through junior college at Illinois Central College and then college at Kansas State University, I haven’t missed an NWSS since 2016. Needless to say, there has been quite a bit of change that has taken place since my first NWSS. This past summer we held the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Denver, and construction in the Yards was well underway at that time. For those of you who had the opportunity to attend the 2019 JNHE and/or the 2020 NWSS, there was not much difference other than that the temporary pens, which had been set up since JNHE. Looking forward, there is a lot yet to change with the NWSS facilities, and I am personally grateful for the opportunity to witness their transitional period. Any time there is change, it takes a while for people to get on board and to support it simply because it is change in general. Taking something as historical as the NWSS facilities and incorporating the concept of change puts “change” into a whole different perspective. I feel it is fair to say many are sad to see the historical Denver Stock Yards go, but I also feel there is good to come

from the new facilities. As usual, time will tell.

Future JNHE events So, what is next for Hereford juniors? Refer to Hereford.org for contest and entry deadlines for the 2020 JNHE, which will be hosted in the Bluegrass State July 11-18. As a National Junior Hereford Association board member and its leadership chair, I am pleased to say the planning of the JNHE is coming together nicely. Also, Faces of Leadership will be July 28-Aug. 1 in Columbus, Ohio. As junior board members work through the logistics of the event, everything is coming together well and will feature several challenging yet fun activities and workshops. Our goal is to build and to inspire leaders within not only the Hereford breed but also the entire agriculture industry.

Herefords and Handshakes

by Hannah Johnson

make me proud to be a part of this breed and this family. This feeling goes not only for the membership but for the AHA staff as well.

Striving to improve

The 2020 National Western Stock Show (NWSS) was an event I will not soon forget. My first trip to the Mile High City was filled with teamwork, a little dust and a lot of picture taking. I appreciate this time out of the office to meet more people in the industry and to immerse myself further into the Hereford breed.

The Super Bowl of stock shows During my eight days in Denver, I learned a lot about Team Hereford. First and foremost, the people involved with the Hereford breed are more than friendly competitors. I quickly realized the breeders and the members of the American Hereford Association (AHA) are a family. Being behind the lens of a camera allowed me to witness helping hands and much comradery throughout the week. Moments like those, especially during a time of competition,

Many of the AHA staff members who traveled to Denver have been hired in the last year, and to say we bonded would be an understatement. The long hours together allowed for plenty of time to brainstorm — not only for new ideas to bring to the NWSS but also for all aspects of AHA communications. Being in communications, I greatly value the conversations with the AHA fieldmen because they are the voice of our membership. Hearing those ideas and opinions allows for growth in all areas of the AHA, which is really exciting. Team Hereford is a group willing to ask questions and willing to learn. As I was introduced to new faces, I was often asked questions about best practices related to advertising, social media and websites. Those questions and conversations make my eyes light up because, first, they show there is an understanding that the digital world is a large part of reaching an audience and, second, our breeders want to make the right advertising and outreach choices for their operations. Third, they are actively seeking help to gain more information on the topic. Many of my friends in the agriculture industry tell me about their challenges of getting customers or membership to hop on board digital trends. From what I have experienced, that is not the case for the Hereford membership. Y’all have open minds for learning new tips and tricks, and I love getting to share ideas. The winter show season was definitely a whirlwind of learning

experiences, and I look forward to more of them to come. If the NWSS was a sneak peek as to what this year will bring, I think 2020 is going be one for the books!

Beyond Their Expectations

Hereford breeders made their maiden voyage to the hub of livestock shows and networked with industry elite. by Christy Couch Lee

hether you are 5 or 65, you never forget that first trip to the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver. Entering the Coliseum on the “Hill” for the first time, being surrounded by the elite breeders and cattle of the nation. Walking down the hill to the “Yards,” and being transported back in time — actually feeling the history as you walk the catwalk and witness cattlemen in their element.

| March 2020

This year, several Hereford breeders made their first trek to this prestigious event to compete in the rings and to market their genetics. Their backgrounds are diverse, but two factors unite each of these operations: the love of Herefords and the love of family.

Anna Merritt

Merritt Land and Cattle, Altus, Okla. National Junior Hereford Association member Anna Merritt, Altus, Okla., is living a family legacy in the Hereford breed. That legacy reached new heights Anna Merritt when she and her family attended the NWSS for the first time this year. Anna’s involvement in the Hereford industry began six generations ago when her great-greatgreat-great-grandfather decided to purchase his first few head. The Merritts remained involved in the breed for generations. Two years ago, Anna and her family — parents, Jack and Valerie, and sisters, Mary and Virginia – were inspired to compete on a national level. “Whenever we would go to Oklahoma City and Denver, I’d think, ‘This would be so much fun to get the family into,’” Anna says. “We could start working together and getting this bond with each other. And it’s true. We three girls have had so much fun working together. My dad also helps with breaking the cattle, and mom helps with the genetics. So, it’s a full family operation.” Anna says much work went into Denver preparations, including specializing feed rations, halter-breaking and practicing for the showring. The hard work paid off for the Merritts and resulted in a second-in-class, which to Anna was thrilling. Outside the showring, the NWSS for Anna was an incredible networking and family experience. “I’ve been able to get out of my comfort zone, meeting and talking with the big breeders,” she says. “The Hereford breed truly is a family.”

Bischoff Family

Ravine Creek Ranch, Huron, S.D. For the Bischoffs with Ravine Creek Ranch, Huron, S.D., Herefords are also a family affair. The Bischoff family operation began in 1906 when Jerry’s grandfather purchased the ranch north of Huron, S.D. Since 1949, Herefords have been a part of the ranch. As the years have progressed, so has the business. Today, three generations are involved in the daily operation, including an annual production sale held every March. “We sell mostly to commercial customers, and most of our bulls go onto black cows within about Jerry Bischoff a 100-mile radius of our ranch,” Hereford.org

Jerry says. “We usually sell some yearling and 2-year-old bulls, and test those yearling bulls and deliver them to them usually in May, after they’re semen tested and ready to be used.” Jerry says this trip to the NWSS brought generations together, and it was the younger generation who talked him into bringing their first string this year. “We thought we had a little extra special set of calves this year and thought maybe we could do pretty well,” he says. And “pretty well” they did – exhibiting a class winner and a reserve division champion in the pen show. Matt, Jerry’s son, has been involved in the operation since his college graduation in 2006. He says he believed 2020 was the year for the Bischoffs to showcase their offering at the NWSS for the first time. “I finally decided that as we’ve Matt Bischoff continued to better our genetics and use more artificial insemination and embryo transfer work, we thought our bulls were good enough where we’d get some more exposure and more people would see them,” he says. Jeremiah Johnson, Jerry’s nephew, manages the show string for Ravine Creek. He says showing in the Yards was an incredible experience. “The Yard show is really special because it’s our genetics — cattle we have bred and calved out,” Jeremiah says. “We get to see them from calves all the way up to what they are today, and that is something very special to us at Ravine Creek Ranch.” Jerry says visiting with customers is a perk of exhibiting at the NWSS. For Matt? Simply taking part in such a prestigious event. “It was a goal to show our cattle at one of the premier shows in the world,” he says. “So, it’s a pretty exciting and humbling experience.” Jeremiah says they have learned a few lessons during their first NWSS. First, bedding. “It takes a lot more for the cattle to stand on and sleep in, and that’ll be something that’s just a learning curve for next year,” he says. Much work goes into setting up pens, he says. “There’s a lot more that goes into setting up your pen than what the eye might see, including having extra boards or screws that’ll actually work, or the right kind of zip ties and tarps,” Jeremiah says. “And it is important to have a good pen, because that adds eye appeal to your cattle.” Echoing Anna’s advice, Jerry says preparation is key for success at the NWSS. “Get your homework done at home,” he says. “Get them fed; and get them ready, washed up and taken care of. Then get some good help to help you to get here.” And if you’re unsure about attending the NWSS? Matt says, do it. Hereford.org

“If you’re on the fence about it, go for it. I mean, you don’t really have anything to lose,” Matt says. “It’s great exposure and I kind of wish we would have come sooner. It’s been an exciting experience.”

Noack Herefords Rockdale, Texas

For the Noack family of Rockdale, Texas, their trip to the NWSS was a continuation of a family tradition begun generations ago. The Noacks have raised Herefords since 1921, when E.H. Noack began the program. Steven Noack says his dad, Leon, exhibited at the NWSS in the early years. “I have run into a lot of Steven Noack people that have said, ‘I knew your dad,’” Steven says. “My grandfather was also in the oil business, and so most of my life has been oil-related. I’m a petroleum engineer. I always grew up with the ranch and always been around the ranch itself, but I never really got into the show side of it.” Fortunately, Steven says, his niece, Shiloh Doehring, and her husband, Vernie, do have experience in the showring. They returned to manage the operation in 2014 and talked the family into returning to the NWSS Yards show again in 2020. Shiloh Doehring “My great granddaddy ran the operation his whole life, put a lot of hard work into it, and made some good genetic investments,” Shiloh says. “This year, we decided to come back to Denver. I feel like it’s an opportunity that you don’t get anywhere else. You would hope that someone would pull into your driveway and want to look at your cows. Probably a lot of people want to, but they can’t for whatever reason. To have the cattle here in a central location is a great opportunity.” Steven says he appreciates the differences in cattle from the Yards to the Hill. “There are a lot of similarities in the animals, but the environment is definitely different,” he says. “I’m enjoying the people and the cattle I’ve seen. Everybody’s been really friendly, and it’s been a great experience.” Shiloh is proud of the set her family exhibited this year because “they are ready to turn out on cows.” “There is one in here, I pulled off the heifers the day that we left home, and I’m going to put him straight back when we get there,” she says. “I think quite a bit of him. He’s not fat and sassy, but this is the yard show. It’s for commercial cattle, and we’re here to meet a need.” continued on page 30...

Barnes Herefords Cedartown, Ga.

He has accomplished tremendous career goals throughout his lifetime. But this year, Roy Barnes, Barnes Herefords, Cedartown, Ga., Roy Barnes says a lifetime goal was reached when he exhibited Herefords at the NWSS. Roy grew up showing Herefords as a young man before attending law school. After a combined 22 years in the Georgia state senate and statehouse, he was elected Georgia governor in 1998, serving until 2003. Although his political career was demanding, Roy never lost sight of his roots and remained loyal to the Hereford breed. Today, he and his family run about 150 registered Hereford and 250 commercial cows on two farms in the state. They hold a female sale each spring and a bull sale each fall. From the time he was a child, Roy had dreams of attending the NWSS. “Well, ever since I was a kid, I’ve heard about Denver and I’ve always wanted to come,” Roy says. “The NWSS is the premier show and sale that exists. So, I finally decided that I didn’t care what was going to happen. I was going to come this year.” Roy says the distance to the NWSS was one of the biggest obstacles to exhibiting for the first time at the NWSS. “It’s not impossible, of course, and it’s done all the time, but it was still a good little distance to haul our cattle,” he smiles. “And for us Southerners with thin blood, 20-degree weather is a shock to our system.” Despite the challenges, Roy says, his first trip to the NWSS did not disappoint. “You get to see, from the interaction of all the folks, really what is necessary to succeed in the seedstock business. The networking is invaluable,” he says.

The nostalgia associated with the NWSS is remarkable, Roy says. “Let me tell you, it is exactly what I foresaw and even more,” he says. “I mean, it’s the old stockyards of course. My daddy was a cow trader, and I went to stockyards with him all of my life. And, it brought back some very fond memories of my father. Also, the atmosphere of the hall of champions, going back for so far, is sobering and impressive.” Kevin Atkins, Barnes Herefords manager, says attending the NWSS has been a tremendous experience. “This is well worth it,” Kevin says. “The best of the best is here, and everybody’s been great. Everything’s lived up to its expectations. It’s been wonderful. I recommend anybody from the South and the East to come out to Denver and enjoy this experience and learn.” The transition from a career in politics to raising Herefords is easier than one might think, Roy says. “I came back from law school and I got into politics, which is either good or bad,” he laughs. “It was a great experience, but I believe I’ll just raise cows, and won’t get back into politics. Those cows don’t talk back to me, like some of those politicians did.” Traveling the state of Georgia brought Roy face to face with beef producers. “Well, everybody thinks all we do in Georgia is raise cotton, peaches and peanuts,” he says. “But the truth of the matter is, Georgia’s a fairly large beef producer. Even with Atlanta’s 5 million people, agriculture is still the number-one employer in Georgia.” Herefords are amongst his favorite herds. “When I was governor and was traveling the state, I’d always head to where they had cattle, particularly Herefords, which were my favorites,” he says. “That’s what my daddy had, and my Uncle Fred, and my Uncle Felton, and they’re so gentle. Herefords are also really a great beef producer.”

This is well worth it. The best of the best is here, and everybody’s been great. Everything’s lived up to its expectations. It’s been wonderful. I recommend anybody from the South and the East to come out to Denver and enjoy this experience and learn. — Kevin Atkins Atkins Family

Hunt Family

Innisfail Farm, Madison, Ga. Whitey Hunt bought his first Hereford heifers in 1972, just before marrying his wife, Lynn. From then on Innisfail Farm has consisted of generations working side by side. “And I think I’ve created a monster with my son and grandson,” he says with a laugh. “They enjoy it as much, if not more than what I enjoyed through the years. It’s been a great experience.” Dru Hunt, a junior in high school, is the grandson of Whitey and the son of Weyman. He has been showing Herefords around Georgia since fourth grade. And, he says, this year is his first trip to the NWSS, which he will always remember. “I showed in the junior show on the Hill, and the pen bull show in the Yards,” Dru says. “It means a lot to me, and I’m really glad that I had the opportunity to be here. This experience has taught me to try your best and work hard, and good things will happen.” Weyman serves as the Innisfail Farm manager. He says the family decided to make the trek to Denver in 2020, as marketing for their upcoming first production sale. “We thought this would be a good opportunity to get in front of a lot of good people,” he says. “We have some genetics that are fresh and exciting, with a lot of marbling and carcass quality.” He says the response was worth the trip. “We had people show up in our pen from literally all over the world, including Finland,” Weyman says. “It’s about a 1,500-mile trip for us, and seeing people from all around the world and even from our home state of Georgia, has been really exciting.” As Weyman looks forward to the next NWSS trip, he is excited to see the new Yard facilities because he feels presentation of your pens plays a crucial role in attracting potential customers. “This is ultimately a trade show with live cattle, and you need to come prepared to impress people,” Weyman says. “You need to have a good pen. It needs to look nice, and people need to enjoy coming in your pen.” Weyman recommends if you are considering making the trip to the NWSS, lean on others in the industry for assistance. “If you need a little help, call people and ask,” he says. “Everybody in the Hereford breed is so friendly. There are many things here that we don’t have to worry about at home — like water heaters, and making sure your hoses are empty every night. But we’ve had so much help from people from across the country.” Adequate help is also a necessity — especially with a string on the Hill and another in the Yards, he adds. Hereford.org

Hunt Family

“Showing on the Hill and being in the Yards requires a lot of coordination, as it’s a pretty good walk between the two,” Weyman says. “Also, getting three head ready at the same time for the pen show takes a lot of work. This is something you can’t do without a lot of help, and everybody around here is so willing to help.” And, he says, reasonable expectations are required for your first NWSS outing. “I expected the cattle here to be phenomenal, and I would say that they were better than I expected them to be,” Weyman says. “So, coming out here your first time, don’t get too disappointed in how it goes. There’s a pretty steep learning curve, and trying to get your ducks in a row out here is not very easy when you’re being compared to a lot of the best people in the world.”

Mile High participation The Hunts were honored to consign Innisfail Energy 4021 1837 ET, a Sept. son of NJW 79Z Z311 Endure 1730 ET, in the Mile High Night Sale. Barnes Herefords, Cedartown, Ga., purchased two-thirds interest and full possession on this bull for $40,000. “I might get kind of teared up here, but it meant a lot to be accepted into that sale as well as we were last night,” Weyman says. As well, the Hunts gave back in a big way – purchasing the Lot 1 Foundation Female, PCC New Mexico Lady 8170, for $70,000 to benefit the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA). “My family has always wanted to give back and try to help,” Weyman says. “And my dad, in particular, has always felt that giving back to the youth was the way to do it.” Whitey says it’s simply about the future. “We need to keep the future of Hereford youth moving forward,” Whitey says. “We’ve got to support them in every way. The NJHA (National Junior Hereford Association) is a great opportunity for young people to learn skills, work with people, and develop communication skills. And to the Hereford youth? Keep up the hard work.” Weyman says the people of the Hereford breed set it apart. “Everybody’s so helpful, so friendly, so accepting,” he says. “It’s the people really that make the difference.”

Dominating Denver Hereford breeders brought their very best to command attention at the National Western Stock Show.

hether up on the “Hill” or down in the “Yards,” Hereford breeders had a reason to be proud of the 646 head that paraded the grounds of the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver, Jan. 15-18. Judges and spectators alike commented on the excellent quality of the Hereford exhibits. “People take notice of the Hereford breed, and they really can’t believe how good the cattle are from top to end,” says Brent Lowderman, who judged the open bull and female show alongside his brother, Cody Lowderman, Macomb, Ill. Still, only a select few came out on top. See who brought home the prestigious purple from the 2020 National Hereford Show in the following pages.

Junior show The junior show set the stage for an exceptional four days. Judge Graham Blagg, Spring Hill, Kan., sorted the 150-head show in Stadium Arena. Berkley and Denver McKay, Orlando, Okla., exhibited the grand champion horned female, MCKY Monroe 8688 ET. Grand champion polled honors went to Vada and Hans Vickland, Longmont, Colo., with LAR Annsley 843 ET. The reserve champion horned female, BK Good Point 937G ET, was exhibited by Clairborne and Eli Perry, Madison, Miss., and the reserve champion polled female, GGSC MGS Magnolia F03 ET, was exhibited by Mason Allan, Schulenburg, Texas.

Bull show Judge Cody Lowderman and associate judge Brent Lowderman had their work cut out as they sorted through Thursday’s 94-head open bull show — arguable the pinnacle of Hereford events in Denver. Champion horned bull honors went to SR Dominate 308F ET, owned by Hoffman Herefords, Thedford, Neb.; Buck Cattle Co., Madill, Okla.; and Stuber Ranch, Bowman, N.D. Hoffman Herefords and Buck Cattle Co. exhibited the champion polled bull with H The Profit 8426 ET. The reserve champion horned bull title went to C BAR1 Candy Belle 9036 ET, owned by Piper Colyer, Bruneau, Idaho. Reserve grand champion polled bull and champion junior bull calf honors went to Coyote Ridge Ranch, La Salle, Colo., with CRR 8Y Leverage 971.

Pen and carload show Brent Meeks, Taylor, Neb.; Brent Mrnak, Bowman, N.D.; and Troy Thomas, Harrod, S.D., evaluated the Yard

exhibits Jan. 17, which included two carloads, 37 bull pens and 27 heifer pens. Baumgarten Cattle Co., Belfield, N.D., took top honors in the Hereford carload show, and Hoffman Herefords was named reserve. Coyote Ridge Ranch, La Salle, Colo., topped the penof-three bull show and Barber Ranch, Channing, Texas, won the pen-of-three female show in the Denver Yards.

Cody Lowderman and associate judge Brent Lowderman returned to Stadium Arena Saturday, Jan. 18, to sort through the National Hereford Female Show. “These breeders have worked so hard to make these cattle better, and it shows through here today,” Cody says. “They’ve worked diligently — obviously not only phenotypically, but from a numbers standpoint [with] EPDs — and [have put] that all together into a package deal. I think the Hereford breed has grown leaps and bounds.”

PCC New Mexico Lady 8170 sold for $70,000 to benefit the Hereford Youth Foundation of America’s (HYFA) Growing a Lasting Legacy Campaign, Jan. 17, at the Mile High Night Sale during the National Western Stock Show. The Lot 1 Foundation Female has highlighted the national Hereford sale in Denver for more than a decade and has raised a total of $960,000 to support HYFA’s mission: To encourage, recognize and reward the development of life skills and values in the next generation of leaders by providing education, scholarship and leadership opportunities for Hereford youth. New Mexico Lady was purchased by Whitey and Weyman Hunt of Innisfail Farm, Madison, Ga. “It’s important to invest in Hereford youth in order to keep [the breed] moving forward. They are our future and we’ve got to support them in every way and guide them and let them guide us as well,” Whitey Hunt says. “The National Junior Hereford Association is a great opportunity for young people to learn skills of working with people, communication and you could go on and on. The young people who are in Denver, they are our future and they are the ones who are going to be our leaders.” PCC New Mexico Lady 8170 was donated by Pérez Cattle Co., Nara Visa, N.M. The March 7, 2018, heifer is a daughter of NJW 79Z 22Z Mighty 49C ET. “The Hereford breed is rich with traditions and the Lot 1 Foundation Female that headlined the national sale in Denver was definitely no exception,” says Amy Cowan, American Hereford Association director of youth activities and Hereford.org

foundation. “This year, HYFA was fortunate to have two families step up to support Hereford youth, with the Pérez family on the donor side and the Hunt family on the buying side. As a past director of the National Junior Hereford Association [NJHA], Kyle Pérez appreciates the opportunities the Hereford junior program gave him as a youth and it is exciting that he and his wife, Tonya, are bringing their children, Peyton and Libby, up through the ranks of the NJHA. Innisfail Farm and the Hunt family know, too, that the junior program is a great resource for our kids, and I so appreciate Whitey and Weyman’s belief in the Foundation and for helping us make a difference for the next generation.” March 2020 |

I think it’s honestly just that I don’t know anything else and it’s all I’ve ever really wanted to do and all I’ve ever been good at,” she laughs.

I know that sounds silly but it’s probably what makes me enjoy raising cattle the most.” She worked alongside her brother Mark for more than 15 years when he took over RCS. During this time, she gained many valuable lessons from him, but the most important one that has stuck with her is to always keep learning. “I think that statement speaks to whether you are messing with cattle or honestly just life in general,” she says. “You always need to be willing to learn something new or to pick up on something different because there is no one way to do something that is right.” The feeling after learning she was the Pictured at the 2020 National Western Stock Show (l to r) are: Brett Barber, Barber Ranch; Robyn Herdsman of the Year is something she Kelley Samsel, 2020 Hereford Herdsman of the Year; Melanie Fishel, National Hereford Queen; and Shane Bedwell, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. will cherish. “This whole thing is weird to me just because I’m okay ereford enthusiasts gathered in Stadium with doing my own thing and not really being noticed,” Arena Saturday afternoon, Jan. 18, as the 2020 she says. “But to share this with my brother is amazing National Western Stock Show (NWSS) came to for the simple fact that after my dad passed away when a close for the red and white breed.

“They have a way of treating you like family and you don’t want to go anywhere else,” she says. “Plus, I think of the kids like my own.” Barber says it is hard to put into words Samsel’s work ethic, but Samsel gets up early, stays late in the barn and is always a pleasure to be around. “It’s gratifying to have someone who you can tell is thrilled for the opportunity to work and take care and love the cattle as much as you do,” Barber says. “She just does a million and one teeny tiny details that other people don’t realize she does and gives 200%. She makes us all smile and it doesn’t matter what we are doing. She makes a hand and she makes a smiley one.” During Samsel’s time at Barber Ranch, she has helped exhibit some of the operation’s most impressive national champions, such as two-time supreme champion bull BR Belle Air 6011. “I think that most every day is a challenge, but I’d say as much as anything, you just always want the cattle to be their best and to look their best,” Samsel says. “You are just hoping everything goes right for the most part and I don’t know how you Samsel has grown up living and breathing the cattle industry. “I overcome that.

Samsel adds this mentality goes back to the advice Mark gave her about constantly learning. “There is a lot of different things you can do and a lot of different things you can try because every animal is different and everyone is going to react differently to something,” Samsel says. “It’s just a lot of trying.” Samsel and the Barber Ranch team have raised and shown some of the operation’s continued on page 60...

Helping the next in line

Between her time working in the Barber showbarn and extending a hand to helping customers, Samsel and her husband, Ryan, have been running Samsel Cattle Co., Cloverdale, Ind. “Splitting my time isn’t really that difficult, honestly,” she says. “You’re always happy you’re going home to do something else or you’re always sad because you’re leaving the place you love and kind of vice versa.” To no surprise, one challenge she sets out to achieve is making sure both operations achieve its goals. “This is something everybody faces, obviously, but everyone has a lot of goals they want to accomplish in life,” she says. “But honestly, living a happy life is probably achieving about as much as you could possibly ever want to do in life, and I do that every day.” Samsel says she has numerous people whom she honestly can never thank enough for just giving her a chance. “It means so much to be given an opportunity to do something you love,” she says. “With the Barber family, I can never thank them enough for giving

As young showmen continue to grow and evolve in the industry, Samsel says there is nothing more important than taking time out of your day to help them out.

For Samsel, helping youth is something that has been an important component for her during her involvement in the livestock industry. “Not to sound cliché, but they are the future, and I think that if years after we’re all gone, if one of those kids remembers something you said or something helps them get through a situation, whether that is cows or life, I think that is important,” Samsel says. “I look back on a lot of my life and nothing stands out more than when somebody you look up to takes the time to talk to you.” According to Barber, Samsel’s goal is to always make sure she builds up the kids’ self-confidence and to make showing fun. She is always the first to reassure them they are doing a good job and lets them know she is proud. “Right before they go into the ring, she boosts their confidence, and I think she tries to instill in them it isn’t about winning, it is about the journey,” Barber says. “You have [the animal] looking the best they can and enjoy the experience. It doesn’t make a difference how you place. To me it is really important kids aren’t worrying about winning. They worry about enjoying it and appreciating the experience. She works with them until they think they are the best showman out in the ring.” Samsel feels it is important to provide a positive environment and to keep encouraging those kids whether there is a win or a loss that follows their showring experience. “Kids, especially young kids, don’t realize whether they’re winning. All they see is the people around them and the people they look up to and whether they are happy or not. So, I think it’s always better to have a positive outlook on life and make sure they always know there is a next time.” Samsel is thankful for the opportunity to watch the kids whom she helps grow up. “I think if you have the opportunity to give back just a little bit of what you have been given over the years, why not take the time,” she says. “Time doesn’t cost anything.” Her love for the American Hereford Association and the kids involved is evident in everything she does according to Barber. “She is a person of incredible integrity and I trust her with anything without hesitation —cattle or kids— she is so sincere and cares so deeply,” Barber says. “We are blessed and fortunate to have her as part of our family.”

Deep in the Heart Highlights from the 2020 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show. by Diane Meyer

ore than 8,000 cattlemen, industry partners and stakeholders traveled to the heart of Texas for the 2020 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show in San Antonio Feb. 5-7. Within the 7.7-acre trade show floor, attendees interacted with hundreds of trade show vendors and took part in an educational learning lounge, policy roundtables, live cattle handling demonstrations and horse health sessions. More than 1,000 cattlemen and women took advantage of educational opportunities at the 27th annual Cattlemen’s College, which featured 18 sessions covering hot topics in the areas of business management, bull management, herd health, genetic selection, nutrition management and consumer-driven beef trends. During Wednesday’s opening ceremony, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue joined 2019 NCBA President Jennifer Houston to discuss American beef production. “Japan’s a big deal, they are a huge consumer and a huge lover of our U.S. Beef. What we have done with Japan, obviously, is open that market up again in a bilateral relationship,” Secretary Perdue says. “We were excited about getting beef back into China. I think we will see that market grow with the Phase One agreement, and the big deal there is we have those non-tariff barriers on beef removed.” Astronaut and retired U.S. Navy Capt. Scott Kelly recounted his record-breaking year in space aboard the International Space Station. Sharing his inspiring perspective of life beyond Earth, Kelly says the biggest lesson he learned on his 143-millionmile journey is, “If we can dream it, we can do it. If we have a goal and a plan, if we’re willing to take risks — at times even willing to fail — if we focus on things we can control and ignore what we can’t, if we test the status quo and we work as a team — because teamwork makes the dream work — we can choose to do the hard things, and if we do that then the sky is definitely not the limit.”

CattleFax 2020 Industry Outlook CattleFax Vice President of Industry Relations Kevin Good reported a growing demand for U.S. beef in the coming year due largely in part to new trade opportunities. As more cattle reach the supply chain, harvest will increase in 2020 and larger carcass weights will push beef production to a record-high 27.7 billion pounds. “With strong demand for U.S. beef at home and rising demand overseas, the modest increases in supply will be more than offset by a growing consumer appetite for our product,” Good says. After a 5-year expansion, beef heifer retention and cow culling rates have leveled — the U.S. beef cow inventory as of Jan. 1 is 31.3 million head. Supply for feedyard inventories is expected to drop slightly in 2020 since feeder cattle and calf supply outside feedyards is down 0.4% from 2019, sitting at 26.4 million head as of Jan 1. Increases in beef exports and decreases in beef imports will result in per capita beef supplies increasing 0.4 pounds from last year to 58.4 pounds. Domestically, total beef expenditures increased 4% in 2019 to $111 billion and are expected to exceed $113 million this year. Consumer demand for beef is supported by higher quality beef production, as Prime and Choice quality grades represented 80% of all fed beef production in 2020. Globally, the “Phase One” of the China and U.S. trade deal opens the door to substantial increases in exports the next few years. U.S. beef exports are predicted to increase 5% to 3.2 billion pounds in 2020, while imports will decrease 5% to 2.9 billion pounds. Art Douglas, Ph.D., Creighton University professor emeritus, presented the extended range weather outlook. After five years of El Nino, there will be a shift to a La Nina weather system by summer. This shift will result in drier climates throughout most of the U.S. and will influence continued on page 82...

...Deep in the Heart continued from page 81

drought conditions in the Southwest and the Plains. The shift toward La Nina will also help normal precipitation levels return to the southern and northwest regions of Australia, as well as ease drought conditions in Brazil.

Directors elected Fifth-generation Florida rancher Marty Smith was elected president of the NCBA. He replaces Jennifer Houston of Sweetwater, Tenn., 2019 NCBA president. Smith operates Smith Brothers-Wacahoota, LLC, a cow-calf operation in central Florida, which has been in continuous operation since 1852. It retains ownership through feedlots in Texas, Kansas and Iowa. “It’s a tremendous honor to lead the oldest and largest national organization representing America’s cattle producers,” Smith says. “We have a great product with a great story, and I’m looking forward to helping tell that story without apology during the year ahead as President of NCBA.” Smith was formally elected at a meeting of NCBA’s board of directors, who also set the rest of the officer team for the coming year. Jerry Bohn of Kansas was named president-elect, Don Schiefelbein of Minnesota was elected vice president and Todd Wilkinson of South Dakota was elected chair of the NCBA Policy Division, while Wyoming rancher Mark Eisele was elected policy vice chair. Buck Wehrbein of Nebraska was elected chair of the NCBA Federation Division and Scott McGregor of Iowa was elected vice chair.

Hereford highlights “Come Home to Hereford” lit up the trade show floor at booth #1550, where American Hereford Association (AHA) staff interacted with convention-goers to discuss the benefits of Hereford genetics. A delicious sampling of Certified Hereford Beef® prime rib was served during the opening trade show reception. The AHA hosted a media briefing Thursday to highlight upcoming opportunities in 2020. Staff from the Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) joined the briefing to discuss the interest and progress in the Premium Red Baldy program. Tom Brink, RAAA CEO, shared the program is providing an added level of documentation which cattle feeders and buyers desire. Doug Stanton, vice president of sales and business development at IMI Global, was also on hand to highlight the changes to the Hereford Advantage program, noting more than 3,000 head have been enrolled. Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president, announced two new exciting partnerships. AHA fieldstaff are now working with S= Cattle, owned and operated by Nolan Stone, to provide producers with additional marketing outlets for their feeder cattle. Additionally, the AHA is excited to announce a new partnership with Merck Animal Health to educate members and cattle producers on the value of a proper health program to help feeder cattle succeed. Join the team next year in Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 3-5 for the 2021 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show.

CattleFax 2020 price outlook and watch list

The following information was provided by CattleFax at the Global Protein and Grain Outlook Seminar at the 2020 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Trade Show in San Antonio Feb. 6.

Price outlook 2020

• Farming margins — Operations have experienced tighter margins, on average, the last several years. Global trade is needed to counter large domestic supplies.

| March 2020

• Trade — Agreements with Japan, Mexico, Canada and China

have progressed. China has committed to increase purchases of U.S. agricultural products by $19.5 billion over the next two years.

• Economy — U.S. unemployment remains historically low and disposable income continues to increase. Real gross domestic product is expected to grow between 2.0 to 2.5% in 2020.

• Food trends — Consumers want to know the products they

purchase are environmentally responsible, economically viable and socially acceptable. As millennials and members of generation Z become the largest U.S. consumer demographics, cattle producers need to be more comfortable discussing beef production in these terms.

Catching a Ride on the Taillights of Opportunity Follow these marketing tips to avoid being left in the dust this year. by Bruce Derksen

s 2019 closes, it becomes gut check time for purebred producers as they settle into the early portion of the new year. Time marches on and no one wants to sit in the dust watching the red taillights of opportunity round the bend and disappear from sight. For some, hard work is the answer, and while it is honorable, it will never be the end all. Purebred associations are filled with hard-working cattle people putting on yearly bull and heifer sales and open houses and attending shows and sales. Hard work needs to be the standard of any enterprise, but it is only one step in the right direction.

Seeing from the buyer’s point of view Mark Cowan of American Marketing Services thinks it is important for producers to view the marketing of a purebred operation through the eyes of potential buyers. “From a buyer’s perspective, I think it’s vital that the seedstock provider has an impeccable database. Parent verification, genomic-enhanced EPDs

[genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences], all of those things are designed to give a more accurate ability to select the proper seedstock.” In a world of data and access, today’s buyers are not just customers but also consumers of information. “If I’m buying a bull, I want to buy one from a seedstock producer that’s on the cutting edge of whatever developments are coming down the line in science and technology.” Purebred breeders almost exclusively love their chosen occupation and working with their cattle, but they also need to sell their product. No one can sell everything to everyone. Addressing the entire cattle industry is not practical and is a waste of time, money and energy. Just as buyers need to decide what is critical to their operation, sellers must do the same. Narrow the focus. An inferior watered-down product will not benefit anyone. Why save the razor’s edge genetics for only potential buyers? Once purebred producers are comfortable with the continually improving quality of their own livestock, their marketing philosophy will follow suit.

Marketing the entire operation Staying up to date on sciencific trends and technology is crucial for seedstock producers, Mark Cowan of American Marketing Services says. Customers are consumers of information.

| March 2020

Cowan says negotiables such as pricing can be manipulated but counts a competent herd health plan as mandatory to any successful enterprise. Hereford.org

“Dare to be different” with your advertising efforts, Cowan advises. A new catalog design is a great way to make a statement.

Disease should never knowingly get on the trailer with the stock. Reputable breeders will always provide individual bull or female health records along with vaccination program specifics and dates. Advertising is always on the agenda but can seem like blowing your own horn and many people’s personalities balk at this, but it is never wise for the customer to be unaware of the supplier. Basic things like business cards, ranch logos, and a sign at the end of the driveway are easy, but consider other options such as social media, a website, direct mail brochures, newsletters and sale catalogues. Dare to be different. Purebred operations are not just promoting a prized yearling bull but offering themselves, their family and their farm for all to see. Even for those who despise the limelight, efforts that may be out of the comfort zone should be made. Possibly an outgoing personality from the family could attend local and regional events to interact with as many people as possible. Tours and field days could be hosted to show off the farm or ranch.

informational expert reminding them of your own herd genetics and qualities as they have likely forgotten the specifics of their original purchases. When they sell their calf crop at the auction barn, be there to buy them lunch. If previous customers are ignored, they will surely ignore sellers on the next sale day. Bulls are a large part of a purebred breeder’s sales and the reality is sometimes they can fail. When they do, buyers need to be sure they are dealing with full service genetic providers, not shadowy traders. Be professional and get guarantees solidly in place. “Spell out what happens in the event of a product failure,” said Cowan. “Seedstock producers have an obligation to stand behind their bulls. And the quicker you can fix things the better and more long term the relationship is going to be with the customer.”

Recognizing new opportunities Watch for the potential of new sales throughout your region. If producers notice friends, neighbors and acquaintances who did not have acceptable results from their last calf crop, offer them an alternative. If breeders truly believe in their product, why not share the benefits? With the new year firmly in place, it is the perfect time to strip down the positioning and the potential of the seedstock operation with an honest eye. Employ the cutting-edge technology and genetics buyers crave. Focus the marketing and bump the advertising budget, even if only a small amount is possible. And try to look at things from the buyer’s standpoint. If the tables were turned, what would you demand? Be professional, build trust and follow up. It may seem like a lot to tackle, but even moving in the right direction will have the operation catching a ride on those taillights of opportunity.

Building a trusting relationship Trust is crucial for buyers and sellers to make a lasting connection, Cowan states. “Do potential buyers have confidence in what they are being presented to help them with their decisions?” he says. “The trust and confidence buyers have in the breeder is paramount.” And part of creating that lasting confidence is nurturing growing relationships. “I think it’s imperative for seedstock producers to give service beyond the sale,” Cowan says. “Make contact six months later. Ask how things are working out. Are there any problems we need to take care of? Little things count.” He says producers need to be familiar with their customers’ operations and be able to help with any and all selection decisions. He suggests visits to customers’ farms, as following up on successes or failures will help keep the connection strong. Be the Hereford.org

Hosting tours and field days is an effective way to showcase your operation and to make connections with potential customers. March 2020 |

Top 10 Tips for Successful AI Synchronization Check out these key tips on how to implement an artificial insemination synchronization program. There are several advantages associated with following an artificial insemination (AI) synchronization protocol. When breeders manipulate the female’s estrous cycle breeders can shorten the calving interval and produce a more uniform calf crop with similar ages. Commercial herds with 80% of cows calving the first 21-30 days of that calving season can benefit from a synchronization program. With an AI synchronization protocol there are two opportunities for cows to get pregnant in the first 21 days. AI synchronization can result in most cows being in heat earlier, and the ones that don’t stick to that pregnancy will have another opportunity during their next cycle. Here are 10 tips for a successful AI synchronization program.

10) Have a strategy to identify early calving cows — use a designated tag number or a tag color for early-born calves and their dams.

4) Make sure heifers are heavy enough to breed, and cows have a good body condition score. 3) Use only high-accuracy bulls.

9) Have equipment and supplies on hand — have synchronization drugs, controlled internal drug release inserts (CIDRs) and semen on-hand.

2) Have cycling cows — cows that calve the first 30 to 40 days of the calving season. 1) You don’t have to synchronize all cows — if you have a spreadout calving season, you can sort out those cows that are earlycalvers and use those in your synchronization protocols.

8) Double check your protocol — don’t try to recall your protocol from memory. 7) Make sure facilities are adequate. 6) Use a synchronization protocol that fits your management.

Editor’s Note: The content was provided from the BCI Cattle Chat podcast, hosted by Brad White, Dustin Pendell and Bob Larson for the Kansas State University Beef Cattle Institute. For related information, follow the podcast at KSUBCI.org.

5) Make sure the cows you are going to synchronize are far enough from calving season post-partum — this gives them an opportunity to respond to the synchronization protocol.

Hereford Mom Diaries

| by Christy Couch Lee

The View from the Substitute’s Desk It seems to be the story of my life: I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Winter and early spring are typically a slower time for my photography business. And after discussing options with my husband, Craig, about how to fill that time this season, the idea of substitute teaching came up. Hmmm. Could I truly keep a classroom under control? Or would I be the substitute who makes the news for being tied to her chair within the first five minutes of the morning bell? I truly had no idea. But after weighing the pros and cons and learning substitutes are in high demand, I filled out the appropriate paperwork and became an official, licensed substitute teacher.

The start It began with a few days a week in the various schools within our district — from kindergarten to senior classes. And as the weeks progressed, I realized I was getting the hang of this. Most days were almost, dare I say, fun. In January, the high school principal approached me and asked me to consider being the full-time substitute for the general science teacher position through the end of the school year, as that teaching role became vacant. Craig and I talked it over, and we decided it could be a good thing. So here I am, with my own classroom, desk and teacher’s edition general science book. Yes, this all escalated very quickly. Although some weeks have been an absolute whirlwind and a blur of information, decisions and “fish-out-ofwater” moments, I’m also realizing that many lessons I’m learning through substitute teaching also carry over into all parts of our lives — including the show mom life.

| March 2020

You never know what baggage a person is carrying. Some children come to school with unimaginable hurts and stresses. The same is true for so many adults we meet each and every day.

A friendly gesture Take the time to offer a smile. Open the door. Give a compliment. At a show? Tail that heifer for the kid across the aisle. Grab a pitchfork and clean the stalls for your neighbor who headed to the showring. You just don’t know what that gesture may do for someone who is at his or her breaking point that day. If one approach doesn’t work, try again. During my few months of substitute teaching, I’ve helped 5-year-old kindergarteners learn the sound “sh” makes. I’ve taught freshmen how to balance chemical equations. I’ve worked with seniors on writing persuasive essays. And I’ve learned what works for one student doesn’t necessarily work for the next. When you’re working with youth, it can sometimes be frustrating when they don’t “get it” right away. And that is ever so true when working with cattle. As tough as it can be in the moment, it’s important to step back during the moments of frustration at the washrack or at the chute. Take a deep breath. And reevaluate how you might explain the situation in a different way. Yes, it takes time. And no one is perfect. But that simple step of breathing and thinking can lead to much less stress for everyone involved. Have a little fun. I’ve subbed in rooms that were colorful and full of life, with creative lessons that made

learning fun. I’ve subbed in rooms with fairly bare walls, with lesson plans on simple PowerPoint slides. Is information being presented in both circumstances? Yes. Are the students excited about learning in both cases? Well, I’m willing to bet not. The same could be said for our lifestyles of showing cattle and being on the road. Heaven knows cattle shows are long days, short nights, lots of work, and sore backs and feet. But the world won’t stop spinning if you take an hour or two during a weeklong junior national to check out a local attraction or to make a nonshow memory. (Really, it won’t.) It’s OK to mix in a little fun with all of the work and learning that are taking place. It will become a treasured memory to add to the experience.

I’m amazed at the lessons I’m learning in the classroom — lessons that don’t come from a textbook. Let’s all try to be a little kinder and to have a little fun in whatever we are doing. And in the meantime, I’ll be here. Balancing chemical equations and doing my best to keep the paper airplanes from being launched in my direction.

Succession Planning

| by Sarah Beth Aubrey

Building Your Bench — A Simple Self-Analysis Coming into March Madness season means commentaries everywhere are filled with coaching references. So, Coach, what does the bench look like right now? For those of us raising Herefords, we might be thinking of “our bench” as the group of heifers in the barn gearing up for the Junior National Hereford Expo or maybe the replacement pen we’re planning to get bred this spring. But, let’s talk about a different animal — the people side of our businesses. Let’s start with your current bench, as it relates to three categories:

• Age • Experience • Expertise

Once you’ve looked at your current bench, it’s time to consider the pipeline you need. Take a look at the checklist below and assess your current talent pool and the decisions you have yet to make. Roles at the farm and ranch now are different, and the change going forward will blow our minds. There are jobs that don’t even exist yet which will be integral aspects of future farm management! With that in mind, think of ways to limit developing young leaders for functions that may soon be unnecessary. While you can’t avoid essential training to operate the machinery of today or working with the herd you currently

Role is different from job description

Sometimes, it is easier to think about roles in terms of what you need but don’t presently have:

Simply put, the terms “ job description” and “role” are not the same thing, though they are often used interchangeably. A role is the overall function that a person plays in the business. It may or may not have a descriptive title. A job description is the list of general and specific activities and responsibilities the person in the role must perform. While you know how to do your job and what your role is, can you effectively transition it to someone else? I find that the most infrequently used job description is the one for the top leader at the farm. That needs to change as you transition leadership. Have your description ready and clear. Here are some questions to help:

• What functions will be needed to run the business going forward?

• What areas of the business are changing — either growing or decreasing?

• Are we prepared to meet those changing needs in terms of onboarding new personnel or in terms of time available for current personnel?

Talent pipeline risk-assessment checklist ✔ I have identified the critical roles for the next 12 to 24 months. ✔ I am aware of emerging roles in the next 24 to 48 months. ✔ For emerging roles, I have examined my existing crew for potential growth and development.

✔ I have a process to manage performance and career paths for key employees. ✔ I have identified successors for key employees and leaders. ✔ I have evaluated flight risk and retention strategies to keep key personnel. 96

• What roles today are filled

have, you also need to look ahead and to find ways to prepare your successors for the future. This is where real coaching lies.

by people who may be transitioning out of the business in five years or less?

• What expertise is missing

from the business, even if I don’t need it today?

• How will I meet this need? Is

it with training or new hires?

• In what ways are we “just getting by?” Are we utilizing people or putting people in positions where they are “just okay?”

• Do we have roles now that we

don’t need or should phase out?

As a keynote speaker, I am frequently approached at conferences by young leaders sharing some of their transition frustrations. One concern I often hear is that they know generally what they are supposed to do at work, but it is hard to see where one job starts and another stops. They are (painfully) aware this overlap creates conflict — much of it has to do with others in the operation becoming territorial. Individual responsibilities need to be identified, also known as role clarity. Role clarity should not be reserved for the elite at the top. People naturally function better when boundaries are clear. The younger generation needs to be consulted not just about roles they see as emerging but also about the training and education they believe is needed. Yes, ask them. Do your future a favor and seek input from those who will be doing the work of tomorrow. Sarah Beth Aubrey is an entrepreneur and founder of Aubrey Coaching and Training.

Donald “Don” Morgan, 86, Salem, Ill., passed away Jan. 29. Don was a lifelong farmer and rancher. He grew up on a family farm and the only time he spent away from it was when he served time in the Army. He loved the farm Don Morgan and his cattle and began raising Hereford cattle in 1946. Some of his cattle friends will fondly remember him as Don “The Legend.” Over the years, Don was inducted into the Illinois Hereford Association Hall of Fame and, most recently, the family was named Illinois Breeder of the Year. Don was born Nov. 16, 1933, in Salem, Ill., the son of Herschel and Edna Morgan. He was the youngest of seven children and the only son. He married Jane (Thomas) Morgan May 29, 1959. They began their life together on the family farm and lived in the same home where Don was born and raised. Jane and Don had two children, Ric and Lisa. Don was a devoted family man who passed his love for cattle down to his children. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Jane; his son, Ric Morgan (Kim) of Salem; a daughter, Lisa Babbs (Kevin) of Salem; two granddaughters Megan Klier (Jared) of Luka, Ill., and Miranda Buss (Brian) of Downs, Ill. Other survivors include his great-grandchildren: Matthew Thompson, Addy, Greysen and Morgan Klier, and Abrianna Buss. Zachary Wade Lorenzen, 26, Chrisman, Ill., passed away Jan. 30. Zachary was born March 13, 1993, in Terre Haute, Ind., and was the son of John and the late Carmen (Westerfield) Lorenzen. He Zachary was a member of Grace Lutheran Church, Lorenzen National Honor Society and Chrisman High School student council and served on a youth advisory board for the Chrisman community. No matter what was going on in his life, Zachary always put family first. He is survived by his father John Lorenzen, Chrisman; his sister Alyx (Tyler) Owen, El Paso, Texas; his maternal grandparents Ken and Becky Westerfield, Paris, Ill.; uncles and aunts, Steve (Vicki) Lorenzen, Chrisman, Nancy (William) Sanders, Grand Isle, La., Jeannie (Brad) Taylor, Oakland, Ill.; Cynthia (Hans) Andreasen, Terre Haute, Ind., and Mike (Tonya) Westerfield, Paris; a dear friend Randy Snyder, Metcalf, Ill.; and several cousins.

Snapshots from the field Mary Beth Sheffield emailed this photo of Noah Sheffield and Ruby Red. They were preparing to show at their District show in Mississippi to qualify for Dixie Nationals. The good luck kiss worked. They went on to win champion 10-11-year-old showman. Hereford.org

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 2019. 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 2019 were used to compute the year-end numbers.
