Media Event Unveils AHA Leadership in Genomics

The 2011 American Hereford Association (AHA) media event was an enormous success. Attending the event were leading writers and editors from both national and regional publications as well as radio broadcasters from major market agriculture radio stations covering the Midwest. The Hereford breed needs to take credit for revolutionary improvements in the genetic base of the breed, particularly in the last decade. Hereford breeders, under the strategic direction of the AHA Board, have utilized all of the tools available in beef cattle selection to engineer a product that is currently receiving high marks from the commercial industry. The media event was hosted by Olsen Ranches Inc. near Harrisburg, Neb., and allowed the AHA Board and staff the opportunity to talk candidly with industry media regarding the Association’s commitment to breed improvement and genomic research. For the past 12 years, AHA has worked with Art and Douglas Olsen to progeny test Hereford sires. Originally a registered Hereford herd, it was then transitioned to commercial. “The seedstock business was not necessarily our cup of tea,” explains Art. “We weren’t particularly good at the marketing part of that business, but we really enjoy collecting data and making improvements in our cow herd using the information.” Douglas is one of the most detail-oriented people

/ November 2011

you will find in the business. He does all of the artificial insemination (AI) work, and he is truly a young scientist when it comes to animal breeding and understanding how genetics are transmitted in the cow herd. The Olsens’ love for breed improvement and data collection and their insatiable appetite and interest in understanding selection decisions and how they impact the bottom line made them a perfect National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) test herd. Since 1999 Olsens have submitted data to the AHA on more than 7,600 calves out of 146 sires. Collecting trait information from calving ease and birth weight, udder scores, body condition scores, weaning weights, and a host of feedlot and carcass performance information has allowed the AHA and participating bull owners the ability to rapidly prove a sire against some of the highest accuracy sires of the breed. The relationship has been invaluable to the AHA. In a very controlled breeding system, the AHA has been able to accurately rank sires in virtually every trait we measure. We have been able to look at cow families and the daughters of these sires to determine how they hold up to rigorous production parameters. On occasion the AHA has identified the rare sire that rings all of the bells — the proverbial “curve bender,” attracting the investment and promotion from corporate bull studs

and aggressive use across the population. This research has undoubtedly had an influence on the progress of Hereford breed trends for all traits as well as encouraged the use of AI within the Hereford breed. In 2010 the AHA partnered with the Olsens, adding a GrowSafe system to their feedlot. With the ever-increasing cost of feed, the AHA has been interested in identifying genetic differences in feed efficiency. Art and Douglas both had an interest in doing a better job of measuring the feed efficiency, not only in the steers but in the commercial females as well. Not only has Jack Ward, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement, worked very hard in recruiting sires and participating breeders to participate in the project, but he has also successfully organized a research partnership with the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium in one of the most comprehensive molecular genetic research projects in the country. Today, every calf born at Olsens will have a DNA sample collected for future gene discovery work. Already, the scientists have begun to make progress in identifying gene markers within the DNA that provide some level of information that might improve the accuracy of a young sire’s expected progeny differences (EPDs).

Stahly NRSP Results Announced Reported here is the final information on the progeny performance from Stahly Ranch, Cavour, S.D., on the calves born during spring 2010. Mike and Judy Stahly have participated in the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) utilizing young Hereford sires in their commercial herd for years. NRSP continues to be a cornerstone for the discovery of young sires within the Hereford breed. From the fall of 2011 to the spring of 2012, nearly 2,500 commercial cows will be exposed to Hereford bulls for various testing programs. If you are interested in getting a young sire tested, you will need to nominate your bull into the program, and you can do this by using the nomination form that is in the January Hereford World each year. You can also download the form at Hereford.org/NRSP or e-mail jward@hereford.org.

Year-end numbers On Page 33 of this issue you’ll find a copy of the 2011

American Hereford Association Annual Report. During fiscal year 2011 the breed improvement department continued to focus on the Association’s core strategy No. 1 — Improve the overall quality, consistency, predictability and profitability of Hereford genetics. During the last year the Association worked collaboratively with the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium (NCBEC), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Meat Animal Research Center and other global Hereford associations, to discover the genomic markers that are economically relevant to the Hereford breed. During the Annual Meeting, Dorian Garrick of NBCEC shared an update on Hereford genomics. Watch the December issue for a summary of his presentation. Research also focused on reproduction traits. Thanks to our whole-herd total performance records (TPR™) program three new traits have been developed — mature

cow weight, heifer calving rate and sustained cow fertility. Other exciting fiscal year breed improvement facts were: 1) Hereford breeders continue to recognize the advantages of artificial insemination (AI). Since 2003 the number of AI calves registered has increased by 34.1%. 2) Embryo transfer is also gaining popularity, increasing 77% since 2003. 3) Hereford semen demand in the commercial industry is also increasing. According to the National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB), Hereford semen sales increased 17% over last year, compared to the beef industry total, which increased a mere 2%.

CHB promoted at food show Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC staff promoted CHB® and visited with potential customers at the Affiliated Food Service Show on Aug. 31 in Amarillo, Texas. Affiliated Foods Inc. has served grocery stores and restaurants in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Arkansas and Wyoming for more than 60 years. It is also a distributor of Choice CHB.

Jim Price and Rudy Smith, Affiliated Foods Inc. meat merchandisers, promoted CHB at the Affiliated Food Service Show.

Houston’s Place customers love CHB Houston’s Place, Priceville, Ala., has found that featuring CHB on its menu is generating great results. Owners Michelle and Robin Moody opened the doors on this new establishment in late July, featuring CHB ribeye and sirloin steaks and CHB beef tips in their specialty — shepherd’s pie. Michelle says she was sold on CHB from the first sample she tasted. “You could cut it with a fork. You don’t even need a knife, and the flavor is the best I’ve ever had,” she says. “We knew we were going with Certified Hereford Beef from the get-go. We made a lot of changes to our menu before the doors opened, but we never changed this.” And their customers seem to agree: the quality and taste are unmatched. “Customers are telling us how good it is, and that they’ll be back,” she says. “One customer ordered and ate a 14-ounce ribeye, then turned around and ordered and ate another — all in one sitting. He said it was the best steak he’d eaten in his entire life.” Michelle says she appreciates knowing that CHB is exactly what it says it is:

Thank You, Hereford Youth Supporters “The Harvest” was a fun-filled weekend for everyone. This was my first event as a National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board member, and I must say I was in awe of my experience. If you have ever been to San Francisco, you know the city is notorious for fog that lingers over it until early afternoon. Needless to say, we were not excluded from this experience as the fog delayed many of our flights. Once all NJHA board members had arrived in San Francisco, we loaded up the buses and minivan to hit the road for an hour’s drive to the beautiful city of Santa Rosa. Friday night included a tasty tri-tip dinner with hilarious entertainment by “The Indian and the White Guy” (Williams and Ree). They were a real treat to see and made many of us laugh until our sides hurt. Saturday was a busy day and the most exciting for me. Our

bus group started the day at Kunde Family Estate and Sonoma Mountain Hereford Ranch. Four tour buses were scheduled to visit that day, all on different schedules. The estate was full of breathtaking views, once the fog burned off in the afternoon. Our lunch was served on a beautiful hilltop overlooking the Sonoma Valley. Following the tour at Kunde Estate, we toured two neighboring wine estates called the Landmark Winery and Chateau St. Jean. Guests who were of age were allowed to participate in wine tasting at both wineries. The day was full of excitement and laughter; however, everyone was waiting eagerly for the main event back at Kunde Estates. The night was filled with great company, and more than $292,000 was raised for the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA). It was amazing to be in the presence of the distinguished guests and

their generosity for HYFA and Hereford youth. I also want to give recognition to the many donors who were not able to attend the auction. A big thank you also goes to the Kunde family, including Jim and Marcia Mickelson, for hosting us, Eddie and Ruth Sims for putting together the auction, and the people who purchased the items. The night also brought tears to our eyes when we learned a new scholarship was being started in memory of Ken Tracy of Split Butte, whom many of us knew. We can’t thank George and Karen Sprague of Bar One Ranch, Eugene, Ore., enough for the $100,000 they donated to fund the scholarship. The auction was a huge success.

NHW Celebrates Second Birthday Wow! What an exciting time for the Hereford industry not to mention the National Hereford Women (NHW). We are celebrating our second anniversary of being one unified Hereford women’s organization. We have gained so much ground since the two organizations joined a short two years ago. NHW has moved forward at a very fast pace and is showing no signs of stopping. Our annual meeting has come and gone, and we are in full swing of our one and only fundraiser. Denise Billman of Newcomerstown, Ohio, our Ways and Means chairwoman, has once again outdone herself. Last year, artist Amanda Raitel was commissioned by NHW to do a painting depicting Hereford cattle. She did, and it was a great one. “Setting Precedence” was amazing! And now NHW has available this year’s commemorative limited edition print by artist Amanda

Raitel entitled “Secrets.” The print captures a tender maternal moment between cow and calf and reflects the strong maternal instinct the Hereford breed is so noted for. The original print was auctioned at Kansas City in October in conjunction with the Ladies of the Royal Sale. The proceeds from the original print are divided between the NHW and the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) to continue the current Hereford youth enrichment programs. Keep in mind this is a limited exclusive NHW print that once all copies are gone will no longer be available. Start a collection; compliment your copy of last year’s print, “Setting Precedence;” give as a show award or a Christmas gift. Any Hereford enthusiast would be excited to receive this Hereford print. The cost for a signed and numbered print is $90 or $110 for an artist proof (only 10 available). Don’t miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of Hereford history as well as to help a great cause. All proceeds from the sale of these prints are invested back into the future of the Hereford breed and the cattle industry through Hereford youth incentive and enrichment programs. We so appreciate your support in the past and look forward to it in the future. Please contact Denise at herefordmomm@aol.com or 330-204-5865 to reserve your print today.

Thank you, retiring directors As we look forward, we must for a moment look back. We had seven of our national directors and our two co-presidents retire last month at our annual meeting. These ladies are well-spoken advocates for the Hereford breed and the cattle industry, and we’re grateful they have chosen to give their time as NHW directors.

Given their backgrounds as executives, teachers, medical professionals, grad students and just plain moms and friends, they, like all of our members, have all chosen involvement with NHW programs as a labor of love and a commitment to Hereford youth. While all of our members support our programs through membership dues and volunteering at the state level, our national directors take on the task of managing more than 25 scholarship/award programs, leadership opportunities and skills contests each year. Retiring from the board of directors this fall were: Margeaux Firestine, Womelsdorf, Pa., a past national queen, queen chairwoman, as well as past membership chairwoman. Cindy Lambert, Oroville, Calif., who has chaired several scholarship committees while on the board. Jill Tucker, N. Platte, Neb., publications director. Janelle Bischoff, Huron, S.D., newsletter editor for two years. Donna Curry, McAlester, Okla., chaired several award and contest committees. Jessye Goertz, Berwyn, Neb., chaired award and election committees. Catie Sims, Edmond, Okla., website editor and served on contest committees. Susan Gebhart, Claremore, Okla., co-president. Cheryl Evans, Winona, Miss., co-president. A big thank you goes out to all of these ladies for their time, effort and love of the breed to help bring this women’s organization together. HW

Mr. President With keen business sense and Southern charm, John Woolfolk served as the 2011 American Hereford Association President. by Angie Stump Denton

/ November 2011

n 1963 a Tennessee boy purchased a registered Hereford heifer as a 4-H project. That purchase sparked a passion for the Hereford breed. Through the years, he gradually transitioned his family’s commercial cow herd into a registered Hereford herd, and he became a true leader and a promoter of the Hereford breed. Today, 48 years later, that young man — John Woolfolk — recently ended his year as president of the American Hereford Association (AHA). “John has been an extraordinary leader for the AHA,” says Craig Huffhines, AHA executive vice president. “He has a depth of understanding of the entire beef industry due to his many decades of working as a livestock specialist for Tennessee Farm Bureau. He has been instrumental in organizing 13 years of special Hereford feeder calf sales, and he has a keen understanding of what drives markets. “Most importantly, John is a very calm and stabilizing presence in the boardroom, and he encourages a dynamic exchange of ideas among board members and staff.” Raised near Jackson, Tenn., John graduated from the University of Tennessee-Martin in 1971 and went on to Kansas State University, where he earned a master’s degree. After graduating, he worked two years for Obion County Tennessee Ag Extension Service. He then spent 10 years on the farm full-time building his Hereford herd before going to work for the Tennessee Farm Bureau (TFB) as a regional fieldman. He continued to live and work on the farm until 1996, when he was transferred to the state Farm Bureau office near Columbia. At that time, John’s oldest son, Scott, had graduated from high school, so he remained at the farm and continued the day-to-day management. For the last seven years, John has served as coordinator of Tennessee Beef Alliance. In this position, he manages TFB’s heifer development program, bull lease program and feeder calf sales. Although he is not on the farm dealing with the cattle hands-on every day, his passion and www.hereford.org

involvement with the breed has never been stronger.

His family Spend five minutes with John, and there’s no doubt he’s a family man. John and his wife of 40 years, Pat, have three children — Scott, Amy and Matt. Scott and his wife, Cher, have two boys, John Thomas and Russ. A day doesn’t go by that John and Scott don’t talk about the farm and cattle. Although he’s two hours away, John continues to play an active role in the decision making on the farm. The Woolfolk family (pictured, l to r): Matt, Cher, John Thomas, Scott, Russ, John, Pat, Emily, Jeff, Amy, Amy and her husband, Jeff Lauren and close family friend, Allysa Fee. Adkerson, have two girls, Emily and Lauren; they all live in instead of producing baldies, they light up when they talk about their Starkville, Miss. have used the commercial cows as grandchildren.

Q & A with AHA President Woolfolk Q:

In 2010 the American Hereford Association (AHA) Board approved a new strategic plan, what are your thoughts on this new strategy? What are the top five tactics you hope the Board and staff continue to focus on?

A: With the strategic plan, we developed a road map for

the next five years. It is a compilation of ideas from a good crosssection of the industry — large and small producers, purebred and commercial producers and different focuses. It was a big undertaking and a great process; now staff and the Board need the time to implement. The top five tactics I’d like to see continued focus on are: 1) Continue DNA genomic research with USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), the consortium and universities. 2) Work on farm software systems that are compatible with AHA records program. 3) Expand marketing opportunities through social media. 4) Educate members and nonmembers about our services. 5) Increase National Junior Hereford Association membership by 20%. I think the plan is an outstanding strategy that utilizes strengths of the breed to drive increase in Hereford demand. Along with that will come an increase in membership, registrations and transfers, and services.

Q: How would you summarize your tenure on the Board? A: The last four years have simply been some of the best years of my life. I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute, especially the opportunity to attend Hereford events in 25 states. It has been a very educational, eye-opening and humbling experience. As a Board member, you quickly develop an appreciation of how broad the Association is. There is a lot that goes on under the umbrella of AHA from finances, performance testing, maintaining records, monitoring genetic defects, managing shows, advertising, property sales and management, as well as youth and women programs.

Q: What have been some of the biggest challenges during your tenure?

A: When I was asked as a candidate what I thought would be a challenge in the next five years, I said “meeting demand.” I know people at that time thought I was crazy. It has been exciting to see the demand change. I think we can attribute the increase in demand to a combination of things including the heterosis research done with Harris Ranch and Circle A Ranch, the reporting of the research results, and our advertising campaign, which have all impacted demand. Just last week staff got a call from a lady from Kentucky who saw our national advertising campaign and called to see where she could get a bull like the one pictured in the ad. We are reaching new customers though our promotion efforts. I think meeting the demand will continue to be a challenge for our breeders in the future — producing enough highquality Hereford bulls to meet the demand in the commercial industry. If demand outpaces our ability to produce quality bulls, producers may consider keeping one more bull that should have been a steer, and that’s not what’s best for the breed. www.hereford.org

Q: How do we continue to

increase market share in the commercial industry?

A: This can be accomplished by continuing to spread the news about the value of Hereford genetics in the beef industry. Our practical, on-farm research at Harris and Circle A has done so much to entice producers to use Hereford bulls. The average producer puts more credit into research results when he hears or sees a Mark Akin or John Lacey talking about the value of Hereford bulls and heterosis. Mark and John have given credibility to our message. We need to continue projects like Harris and Circle A and utilize those producers as spokesmen for Hereford. As producers we must produce bulls that live up to or exceed the expectations of buyers. If we don’t, we’ll lose our new customers.

Q: When you were elected to the Board what were your goals for the Association? How has that changed?

A: Overall our goal has been to have a turnaround in direction of the numbers — registrations, transfers and increased demand in the commercial industry. I also hoped to work to change the attitude of Hereford breeders. These goals have not changed, but I believe we’ve made progress. We have increased the acceptance and usage of Hereford genetics in the commercial industry, and I think Hereford breeders are excited, as sales are high. In my opinion the attitudes of our breeders have changed dramatically in four years. I think we need to continue to focus on programs for the future. Our junior program is the best avenue to get new members and breeders. Youth are the long-term lifeblood of our Association. The genomics area is something we need to keep on the forefront of our strategy. It is a new tool for breed improvement and will allow the Association to release enhanced EPDs (expected progeny differences). It is exciting for me to think that with the use of genomics when a calf is born, it can have accuracy of a yearling bull.

Q: What do you consider to be the most important

accomplishment the Association has achieved during your tenure as a director and officer?

A: How we as a Board handled the genetic defect issue is one of the most rewarding accomplishments during my tenure. When I was elected, the Board was facing genetic defect issues and no one knew what was going to happen. We were very fortunate that Jon Beever’s research work allowed our breeders to have a tool to test for genetic defect carriers that would allow producers to breed around the defect without having to cull their entire herds. The issue was controversial for a short time, but as a breed we tackled the issue and have moved on. We have gone from that time to now implementing a strategy to test every future Hereford sire with registered offspring to identify any known genetic defects. That is tremendous progress.

Hereford Data Drives Demand

ept. 19-20 the American Hereford Association (AHA) hosted a media event sharing information about Hereford genomics, Hereford research projects and the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP). The event was hosted at longtime NRSP test herd, Olsen Ranches Inc. of Harrisburg, Neb. Media professionals representing 350,000 magazine subscribers, thousands of unique website users, nearly 100,000 online e-newsletter subscribers and more than 300 radio affiliates in 12 states attended the event.

Hereford genomics During the press conference Tuesday morning, Association staff and Matt Spangler, University of Nebraska assistant professor and beef genetics Extension specialist, gave an update on Hereford genomics. Jack Ward, AHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief operating officer and director of breed improvement, explained how AHA has taken a proactive approach testing and validating the tools available to ensure that when it is released, a Hereford genomic product will be reliable and useful to AHA members. AHA Executive Vice President Craig Huffhines said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an Association, we aligned ourselves with researchers and worked collaboratively with the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium (NCBEC), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Meat Animal Research Center and other global Hereford continued on page 28... www.hereford.org

At the ranch, media had a chance to photograph and video younger cow-calf pairs, steers and replacement heifers.

Tuesday morning on the way to the ranch, media had a chance to take photos and video of a group of mature cows with calves. It was a picturesque setting with great Hereford genetics on display.

The father-son team of Art and Douglas Olsen manages a commercial Hereford operation in western Nebraska. In 2004 the Olsens were recognized as the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Commercial Producer of the Year.

Olsen Ranches Inc., Harrisburg, Neb., has participated in the AHA’s NRSP since 1999. Through the years, the Olsens have tested 146 Hereford bulls and submitted data on 7,623 progeny.

associations to discover the genomic markers that are economically relevant to the Hereford breed.” Ward explained that AHA has been working with Dorian Garrick of NBCEC on genotyping. “Today we have more than 1,200 high-accuracy sires 50K genotyped,” Ward said. “This population has been used to train and validate a Hereford-specific panel.” Spangler told the media in attendance, “The AHA has taken a large and much needed step in the implementation of marker-assisted EPDs (expected progeny differences). Their approach of working with the NBCEC allows them flexibility in how they specifically incorporate the information into their genetic evaluations. “In order to continue to evolve and further develop their genomic predictions, it will be critical that Hereford producers continue to collect phenotypes and genotype influential animals within their respective herds,” Spangler added. “They should be proud of what they have accomplished and capitalize on this inertia to continue forward.”

In 2010 the Olsens, in cooperation with AHA, added a GrowSafe system to their feedlot. www.hereford.org

Ward explained that the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI) has developed the software to add genomic information into the Hereford PanAmerican Genetic Evaluation (PACE) and AHA staff is currently working on a research run with introduction scheduled for spring 2012. AHA also plans to continue to 50K genotype Hereford sires with support from partner countries. It will also maintain a database repository for future genomic research. The real help to seedstock breeders and buyers will come as AHA continues to work with the science community to train and validate the Hereford-specific panel for all measurable traits, including feed intake. To keep costs down and to simplify the process, the Association has plans to work with a one-stop-shop lab that will provide parentage testing, genetic abnormality testing and genomic information for the genetic analysis. “The Association’s role is to give our members tools to make improvement in beef production,” Ward said. “Genomicenhanced EPDs are the next phase in breed improvement strategies that will allow our members to continue to improve the genetics they produce.” For more information about AHA’s genomic testing, contact Jack Ward at 816-842-3757 or jward@hereford.org.

Olsen family members pictured (l to r) are: Arthur “Art” Olsen; Karyn Holt; Cheryl Miner, holding Lynn Miner; Beth Donnell; and Isaac, Douglas and Pamela Olsen, holding Luke.

Each year the Olsens develop about 300 replacements. They typically keep 150 and then market the other 150 as bred heifers.

Other presentations Following the genomics press conference, other presentations included updates on Hereford feed efficiency testing and heterosis research projects. AHA Breed Improvement Committee Chairman Jerry Huth summarized the results of the Circle A Ranch and Harris Ranch heterosis projects and also explained current projects. Huth and Ward also gave an update on the three new traits — mature cow weight, heifer calving rate and sustained cow fertility.

In 1881 a group of U.S. Hereford breeders gathered in Chicago to establish the American Hereford Cattle Breeders Association, known today as the American Hereford Association (AHA). At that time the Association’s purpose was two-fold: to keep the breed’s records and to promote the interests of its breeders. Today, 130 years later, those two original responsibilities have been enhanced to meet the needs of today’s Hereford breeder. Along with keeping records, AHA provides programs, services and leadership to improve Hereford genetics and increase the demand for Hereford cattle and Hereford beef. During fiscal year 2011, the Association processed 65,000 registrations and 36,903 transfers with 97,581 cows on inventory. These numbers are flat compared to fiscal year 2010 — a remarkable fact while the industry is being faced with volatile economic and harsh environmental times. Membership numbers are also stable compared to the previous year with 3,406 active adult members and 2,285 active junior members. While registrations and transfers are steady, the real highlight of fiscal year 2011 is the dramatic increase in production sale prices while reports of private-treaty sales are the highest in years. This increased demand can be attributed to the strategy and progress AHA and Hereford breeders have made in recent years. The Hereford breed is positioned to continue to increase market share for many years to come as commercial producers seek Hereford attributes — increased efficiency, docility and added heterosis. On the following pages, we’ll summarize fiscal year 2011, a year of “Demand. Research. Leadership.”

Herefords in Demand Breed experiences market share growth despite drought and escalating input costs. Hereford breeders continued to experience increased demand for Hereford genetics during the 2011 American Hereford Association (AHA) fiscal year. A total of 165 Hereford production sales were reported by AHA field representatives. Bull sales averaged $3,937, up nearly $700, and females $3,033, up almost $500 per head. These increases were also multiplied by about 1,300 more lots sold than last year. “Despite the worst drought in 500 years in a large portion of the U.S., we are excited that Hereford registrations and cow numbers Average prices paid for Hereford bulls and females (as reported to Hereford World staff) Bulls

have remained steady,” says Craig Huffhines, AHA executive vice president. “This is certainly testament to the fact that the demand for Hereford seedstock has doubled the last five years.” Hereford semen demand in the commercial industry is also increasing. According to the National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB), Hereford semen sales increased 17% over last year, compared to the beef industry total, which increased a mere 2%. Helping with the progress in commercial industry demand has been the AHA’s Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program. Now 10 years old, the program has helped the AHA and Hereford breeders build a database that documents the breed’s strengths. More and more Hereford breeders continue to go above status quo and submit ultrasound data, body condition scores, udder scores and cow weights, which all add to the integrity and accuracy of the AHA database. ’09

2011 AHA Annual Report 1

CHB LLC Foodservice Marketing Experiences Tremendous Growth In 2011 Fiscal year 2011 was excellent for Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) LLC, posting the second highest year in volume at 40.5 million lb. sold. Foodservice was the big winner with 47% growth and a total of 11 million lb. sold. “2011 proved to be a very successful year in both growth and exposure for the brand,” says Craig Huffhines, American Hereford Association (AHA) executive vice president. CHB LLC is a subsidiary of the AHA with its fiscal year ending Aug. 31. Volume increased this fiscal year by 6.4%. Total tonnage reached 40.5 million lb. According to the Food Marketing Institute, 50 cents of the U.S. consumer dollar spent on food is spent at restaurant establishments. Even though the foodservice industry has seen a dip in consumer spending during the recession, CHB has witnessed tremendous growth across the U.S. in this category. This year, CHB® licensed processors sold 11.3 million lb. of CHB into the restaurant trade, up 3.6 million lb. from a year ago — a 47% increase. The most impressive growth came from three Sysco Food Distribution centers located in Baraboo, Wis.; Minneapolis, and Nashville, Tenn.; and Kohls Foods located in Quincy, Ill. The Minneapolis center was licensed at the beginning of the fiscal

year and marketed 1.2 million lb. in its first year of selling the brand. The Baraboo and Nashville divisions marketed a combined 1.35 million lb. this year. Another highlight of the program this year was the licensing of Sysco Food Distribution in Sacramento, Calif. This new relationship in California has made CHB product available in Reno and Tahoe, Nev., and a large area of northern California. Finally, in its second year of selling CHB, Kohls Food Service grew its business by nearly a million pounds. At the three CHB packing plants, a total of 215,000 carcasses were certified as CHB during fiscal year 2011, and the pounds used from each carcass increased 11.4% to 190 lb. Currently CHB is offered in 233 retail supermarkets in 35 states, as well as 37 foodservice distribution centers serving restaurants in 25 states. Since the inception of CHB, 3.9 million head of cattle have been identified through licensed packing plants as meeting the live animal specifications to carry the CHB name. The purpose of the CHB program, which was founded in 1995, is to enhance the market price for Hereford and Hereford-influenced feeder cattle, increase Hereford bull and female sale averages, and create demand.

Research Documents Hereford Advantage AHA continues to seek out projects to document the Hereford heterosis advantage. During the past year, the AHA Board and staff have continued the focus on participating in research projects that validate the value of Hereford in the commercial industry. In January the final results of the Harris Ranch Heterosis Project were released. Overall net return for the Hereford-sired calves was approximately $30 per head in a vertically coordinated beef marketing system; this does not include the maternal advantages of the baldie female. Pregnancy rates for Hereford-sired females (black baldies) averaged 7% higher than those of Angus-sired heifers. “The most notable and dramatic difference was the lower feed conversion for the Herefordsired calves over all three years,” explains Dave Daley, California State University, Chico associate dean and farm administrator, who lead the three-year research project. “This fact, coupled with the other feedlot traits, resulted in a significantly lower total cost of gain and breakevens for the Hereford-sired cattle.” For complete results, see the “Impacts of Crossbreeding on Profitability in Vertically Coordinated Beef Industry Marketing Systems Final Report,” which was included in the

January 2011 Hereford World or visit Hereford.org/HarrisHeterosisProject. The Association’s flagship research project is the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP). This fiscal year approximately 2,500 cows were enrolled in the program with 48 sires tested. Longtime NRSP participants Olsen Ranches Inc., Harrisburg, Neb., has added a GrowSafe system to its feedlot. This system allows for the collection of feed intake data along with other performance information. Other test herds include Stahly Ranch, Cavour, S.D., and Circle A Ranch, Iberia, Mo. New projects started this fiscal year have been with J.R. Simplot Co. and the University of Wyoming. Combine the research projects and resulting data with a strong advertising and public relations program, and the Hereford message is driving awareness and increasing demand for Hereford genetics.

AHA continues to participate in real-world heterosis projects documenting the efficiency of the Hereford breed.

The AHA communication team works diligently to create awareness about Hereford genetics by promoting demand and research results. Utilizing the Hereford World, Hereford.org, national advertising and social media, the goal is to spread the Hereford message and create top-of-mind awareness about Hereford strengths.

NRSP test herd Olsen Ranches Inc. installed a GrowSafe system to facilitate the collection of feed intake data to submit with other performance data.

Taking a Global Leadership Role to Develop Genetic Evaluation Tools AHA has positioned itself to incorporate genomic technology and to discover the genomic markers that are economically relevant to the Hereford breed. Since 1999 AHA has positioned itself to incorporate genomic technology and to discover the genomic markers that are economically relevant to the Hereford breed. The organization has taken a proactive approach by testing and validating the tools available to make sure when releasing a Hereford genomic product it is reliable and useful to AHA members. During this process, the Association has aligned itself with researchers and has worked collaboratively with the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium (NCBEC), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Meat Animal Research Center and other global Hereford associations. AHA has been working with Dorian Garrick of NBCEC on genotyping. Today the Association has more than 1,200 high-accuracy sires 50K genotyped. This population has been used to train and validate a Hereford-specific panel. Garrick wrote in an article in the July Hereford World that AHA will be the first beef cattle breed association to develop and soon market its own genomic predictions to the benefit of its members. See “Hereford Genomic Developments” on Page 170. Matt Spangler, University of Nebraska assistant professor and beef genetics Extension specialist,

Breed improvement facts ◊ Nearly 98,000 cows on inventory. ◊ More than 6 million animal records in the genetic analysis. ◊ Since 2003 the number of artificial insemination (AI) calves registered has increased by 34.1%. ◊ Embryo transfer is gaining popularity, increasing 77% since 2003. ◊ Research reports were released this fiscal year for three new traits — mature cow weight, heifer calving rate and sustained cow fertility.

said, “The AHA has taken a large and much needed step in the implementation of markerassisted EPDs (expected progeny differences). Their approach of working with the NBCEC allows them flexibility in how they specifically incorporate the information into their genetic evaluations.” ABRI (Agricultural Business Research Institute) has developed the software to add genomic information into the Hereford Pan-American Genetic Evaluation, and AHA staff is currently working on a research run with introduction to be in spring 2012. Genomic-enhanced EPDs is the next phase in breed improvement strategies that will allow AHA members to continue to improve the genetics they produce.

FY 2011 facts ◊ Record-setting fiscal year sale averages — bull sales averaged $3,937, up nearly $700. Females averaged $3,033, up almost $500. ◊ Hereford semen demand continues — Semen sales increased 17% over last year. Since 2006 Hereford has had a 51% increase in domestic semen sales and 36% increase in export sales. ◊ Registrations remain steady — despite a shrinking national cow herd and a 500-year drought, fiscal year 2011 registrations were even with 2010. ◊ Nearly 2,300 active junior members. ◊ Hosted largest beef breed junior national in 2011. A record 1,189 entries were exhibited by 640 youth from across the U.S. ◊ The Hereford World included 738.1 pages of advertising, an increase of 2.4 pages. The Creative Services team produced 51 sale catalogs compared to 38 the year prior, an increase of 13 catalogs.

NJHA Develops, HYFA Supports Future Leaders

More than 640 Hereford youth and their families traveled to Kansas City July 9-16 for the 2011 VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). A record 1,189 entries were exhibited. During the week Hereford youth also participated in 23 contests outside the showring.

Hereford youth reaped the benefits Aug. 20 as Hereford breeders enjoyed the picturesque landscape, Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) and Kunde wine during “The Harvest” fundraiser. The auction benefiting the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) raised more than $292,000 to support Hereford youth. The event was hosted at Kunde Family Estate in Sonoma, Calif., by the Jim and Marcia Mickelson family. The sale was managed by National Cattle Services Inc., Eddie and Ruth Sims.

During the year nearly $50,000 was distributed to Hereford youth in scholarship monies provided through HYFA. The Torrance family of Torrance Polled Herefords, Media, Ill., purchased the 2011 Foundation Female Package during the Mile High Night Sale in Denver Jan. 14 for $31,000. Hoffman Ranch LLC and Hoffman/W4 LLC donated 40 Grade 1 embryos to benefit Hereford youth and HYFA.

Nature of Operations The American Hereford Association (AHA) conducts research and experiments in the breeding of Hereford cattle, compiles and preserves pedigree records for owners and breeders, participates in and promotes the arrangement of fairs, exhibitions and cattle shows to encourage the breeding of Hereford cattle, and assists with the promotion of the end product produced from Hereford cattle. Members and subscribers of the Association are primarily owners and breeders of Hereford cattle. The members and subscribers are located worldwide; however, the largest concentration is within the United States. Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) provides publication services to Hereford cattle ranches and publishes a monthly magazine. The Association is the sole member of Certified Hereford Beef ® LLC (CHB). CHB strives to increase demand for Hereford cattle by promoting Hereford beef as a premium beef product under the Certified Hereford Beef ® trademark. CHB was formed as a limited liability company on September 1, 2001. Prior to that date, CHB’s activities were performed and accounted for within the Association. American Beef Records Association (ABRA) provides computer consultation in herd planning and management, breeding services and marketing for commercial livestock. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include AHA and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI), Certified Hereford Beef® LLC (CHB) and American Beef Records Association (ABRA) collectively referred to as the Association. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Management Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used. Advertising Costs The Association expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense was $478,702 and $473,273 as of August 31, 2011 and 2010. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The Association reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets. • Unrestricted net assets are funds available for any purpose. • Temporarily restricted net assets represent contributions whose use by the Association is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that either expire by passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions of the Association pursuant to those stipulations. When a stipulated restriction ends or purpose of restriction is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the Statement of Activities as net assets released from restrictions. • Permanently restricted net assets — At August 31, 2011 and 2010, the Association had no permanently restricted net assets. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Association considers all money market investments and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investments amounting to $83,986 and $124,356 were considered to be cash equivalents as of August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of amounts billed for magazine advertising, subscriptions and member services, but not received by year-end. Bad debts are provided on the allowance method based on management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of each year. HPI’s policy states that accounts with outstanding balances beyond 60 days will accrue interest at 1.5% per month, balances beyond 90 days will no longer be provided with services and balances beyond 120 days will be turned over to a collection agency. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $4,001 and $31,364 as of August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Investments Investments are comprised of debt securities and are carried at fair value. The fair value of investments is based on quoted fair prices for those investments or similar investments as of August 31, 2011 and 2010. Gains or losses on sales of investments are determined on a specific cost identification method. Unrealized gains and losses are determined based on year-end market values. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The assets are depreciated and amortized over periods ranging from 3 to 30 years. Additions and improvements of $1,000 or more are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the asset are expensed in the year incurred. Depreciation charged against income amounted to $128,469 and $159,694 in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Revenue Recognition The Association recognizes service fee revenue over the applicable accounting period to which the services relate. Unearned revenues related to Association services and publication subscriptions and advertising of HPI are reflected as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

2011 AHA Annual Report 7

Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing the various programs and activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the Consolidated Statement of Activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the program services and supporting activities benefited. Income Taxes AHA, ABRA, and CHB are exempt from federal income taxes on their primary operations under paragraph 501(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore have made no provision for federal or state income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. They are, however, subject to income taxes on any net income from unrelated business activities. AHA, ABRA, and CHB have been classified by the Internal Revenue Service as organizations that are not private foundations. HPI is a taxable entity and is, therefore, subject to federal income taxes. It is HPI’s policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. At August 31, 2011 and 2010, HPI believes it has appropriately accounted for any unrecognized tax benefits. To the extent HPI prevails in matters for which a liability for unrecognized tax benefit is established or is required to pay amounts in excess of the liability, HPI’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be affected. 2 — Concentration of Credit Risk

carryforwards, resulting in deferred tax assets. The components of the deferred tax assets are as follows: Deferred Tax Assets Net operating loss carryforwards Less: Valuation Allowance

HPI utilized net operating losses of approximately $38,832 and $32,319 for the years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. HPI has net operating loss carryforwards of $518,186 available to offset future federal and state taxable income that expire through 2023 as follows: Year Amount Year Amount $– 2015 95,052 2012 2013 119,463 2016 116,294 157,696 Thereafter 29,681 2014 $518,186

The Association files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various U.S. state jurisdictions. The Association is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities generally for a period of three years after filing of the tax returns.

The Association maintains cash accounts at a bank located in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The balances in the bank periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits. The FDIC insured limits were $250,000 at August 31, 2011 and 2010. The Association’s uninsured cash balances totaled $0 and $76,394 at August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

4 — Retirement Plan

The Association established a defined contribution employee retirement plan for all eligible employees. The plan provides for employer and employee contributions based upon a percentage of annual compensation. Employer contributions for the years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 were $78,307 and $86,692, respectively. 5 — Long-Term Debt 2010 $70,394 31,749 $38,645

Scheduled maturities of principal payments on the liabilities are as follows: Year Amount Year Amount FYE 2012 $41,937 FYE 2015 – FYE 2013 32,427 FYE 2016 – 17,190 Thereafter – FYE 2014 $91,553 Interest expense was $4,304 and $4,492 for the years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

6 — Income Taxes

The provisions for income taxes consist of the following components for the years ended August 31: 2011 2010 Current $– $– Deferred 13,203 10,212 Temporary differences Change in valuation allowance (13,203) (10,212) $ – $–

The tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying statutory rates to income before income taxes because of the valuation allowance applied against the deferred income tax assets. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of HPI’s assets and liabilities. Differences are primarily attributable to the net operating loss

8 2011 AHA Annual Report

Temporarily restricted net assets are funds donated for the purpose of awarding $2,500 annually to the champion of the National Western Stock Show in Denver. The balance of temporarily restricted net assets was $5,000 and $7,500 as of August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Association has a collection of artwork, appraised at approximately $640,500 and $500,000, at August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, that is on public display at the Association’s headquarters. The Association has adopted a policy of not capitalizing the collection of artwork in its financial statements. Accordingly, no collection items are recognized as assets, whether they are purchased or received as a donation. Purchases of collection items reduce net assets in the period when purchased. No items were purchased for or removed from the collection during the years ended August 31, 2011 or 2010. The Association insures these collections with a policy that has a face value consistent with the appraised values. 9 — Accumulated Deficit and Management Plan for Certified Hereford Beef (CHB)

Investments consist of government and corporate bonds and notes which are carried at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. Unrealized gains/losses in the amount of $(333) and $27,913 were recorded to adjust investments to fair value for the years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These investments are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term.

Long-term debt consists of the following at August 31: 2011 Notes - vehicles, collateralized by related vehicles, interest fixed at 4.99%, maturing from September 2012 through August 2014 $91,553 41,937 portion Current Total Long-Term Debt $49,616

August 31, 2011 August 31, 2010 $176,183 $189,386 (176,183) (189,386) $ – $–

CHB showed a decrease in net assets of $308,640 during the year ended August 31, 2010. The deficit equity balance amounted to $1,143,308 as of August 31, 2010. In response to those results, management developed plans to generate additional unrestricted revenues and to significantly reduce operating costs. These plans called for increased oversight and management from the Association, resulting in a minimal decrease in net assets of $6,325 for the year ended August 31, 2011. The deficit equity balance at August 31, 2011 was $1,149,633. The Association will continue to evaluate the success of these efforts in determining the future of CHB. 10 — Reclassifications

Board of Directors/American Hereford Association/Kansas City, Mo.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of American Hereford Association and subsidiaries as of August 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Association’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Hereford Association and subsidiaries as of August 31, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. — Respectfully submitted, Kennedy and Coe, LLC, September 28, 2011 Pursuant to its bylaws, AHA submits the above financial information for its members as of the close of the fiscal years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010. — American Hereford Association, Craig Huffhines, executive vice president

• Here is a great opportunity to get the most current genetics in the Hereford breed. H Cattle Kate 8045 ET is becoming the most sought after cow in the Hoffman program after producing the two top-selling heifer calves in the record-breaking 2011 Hoffman-Topp-W4 Sale in Nebraska. Her daughters, by Golden Oak Outcross 18U, brought $79,000 and $51,000 to Whispering Pine Farm, Kimball, Minn., and The Deppe Family of Maquokata, Iowa, respectively. Those two heifers will be tough to compete with and are as stout, sound, attractive, clean and deep as any you will find. The donor dam herself won her division many times and always was in the hunt. H Cattle Kate was the 2010 Intermediate Champion at Ft. Worth and Denver and 2009 Reserve Spring Heifer Calf Champion at Denver. • The buyer of this flush will receive a minimum of six (6) embryos and minimum of three (3) pregnancies when done by an accredited technician. The cost of the flush and semen is the buyer’s responsibility. If buyer chooses semen from a Hoffman owned sire, it will be provided by Hoffman Ranch. The flush will take place at the donor/flushing facility at the Hoffman/ W4 Ranch in Thedford, Neb. If the buyer chooses, recipients are available by seller at cost. Implantation and calving of the progeny are also available at cost by the seller. Please contact Jason or Denny Hoffman about this option. This is all at cost to the buyer and is only an option. The buyer can take the embryos and use their own recipients and calve them out if they desire.

• One of the great cows of the breed, we are again selling a flush to the bull of the buyer’s choice on BF Flirtatious 713T ET. She set the world on fire during her show career with wins at the 2008 JNHE, the 2009 National Western Stock Show and champion cow-calf at the 2010 JNHE. A flush sold as the high-selling lot at the 2008 Western Nugget National Sale to George Sprague at Bar 1 Ranch. He loved the cow so much he bought an interest in her. What a great decision it was as her first set of embryo calves by CRR About Time 743 were the talk of this year’s JNHE. A daughter of this mating was a division champion in the horned show and a flush sister was reserve division champion in the polled show. This is truly a great opportunity and when you see these two heifer calves and how good they are, you will want to get a piece of this cow! • The buyer is guaranteed six (6) embryos with a minimum of three (3) pregnancies when done by an accredited technician. Anything over six embryos will be split with Brumley Herefords. Semen and flush costs are the buyer’s responsibility. Flushing of the cow to be done at Brumley Farms.

The sire of these embryos was the 2011 second high-seller for Topp Herefords to a group of insightful Canadian breeders. He is very correct in his phenotype and has a tremendous maternal pedigree. Take a look at his mother! These cattle should work in any facet of the industry! • The buyer will get six (6) embryos with a minimum of three (3) 60-day pregnancies when done by an accredited technician.

GO Ms L18 Excel P8 — Donor dam of the Lot 4 pick • We are so excited about our new donor cow, GO Ms L18 Excel P8. She is the “TOTAL” cow package. Her natural calf this year is a true testament to her. “P8” has made her mark and has produced many top donor quality females and herd sire bulls for ranches such as Topp Herefords, Hoffman Cattle and W4 Herefords. “P8” is a very prolific embryo donor, averaging 20-25 eggs per flush, which in turn has given us the opportunity to offer this lot to you. She produced two natural calves before going into embryo production that gave her a BR of two at 96.5 and a WR of two at 104. She has 35 calves registered to date and counting! • This is a rare opportunity to purchase three (3) pregnant recipients from this great Ochsner bred donor cow. We have mated her four different ways for your liking. You can pick or chose any combination you would like from these four outstanding sires. The chosen sires are CJH Harland 408, TH 75J 243R Bailout 144U ET, Golden Oak Outcross 18U and STAR TCF Shock & Awe 158W ET. All matings will surely make tremendous cattle with everyone in mind. No matter what you are looking for, the genetics are there! The first calves of “P8” and “Harland” are

on the ground and look fantastic!! Also remember that the mating of Outcross on an L18 daughter (Lot 1) produced the two top-selling lots at the record-breaking Hoffman/W4/Topp sale in Nebraska for $79,000 and $51,000. The buyer has the opportunity to mix and match sires or take all from one sire. Buyer must make arrangements to pick up pregnant recipients by Jan. 10, 2012. Calves will be born on or around Feb. 14, 2012. Recipient cattle are located in Arlington, Oregon, at Holzapfel Angus Ranch. Recipients are out of the top Angus genetics on the west coast. They have been selected for their milk, growth and fleshing ability. Holzapfel Angus cattle have topped the Western Video Market for many years. This is truly a one-time opportunity to gather superb genetics in recipient cattle and superb genetics of a donor female mated with the best bulls in the breed. We are so excited about this dam, and hope you will be too. Please call Barry Morrell at 530-682-5808 or B.J. Macfarlane at 530-518-1024 if you have any questions.

• Offering four Grade 1 embryos from the established “Breeze” cow family at GKB Cattle. B929 is a deep ribbed, wide based individual that is sound and functional. The dam of B929 was the first ever supreme champion female at the 2007 Houston junior show in addition to winning her division at the 2006 Western Nugget National, JNHE and Ft. Worth. With the mating of our new partnership herd sire 88X out of Rib Eye and the feminine and gorgeous 98S NJW donor, these embryos could produce the next level of potent genetics. The sire of B929, GKB Downtown B627 ET, has his first daughters in production and their udders are beautiful and functional. Downtown was calf champion at the Ft. Worth national show and reserve division champion there as a 2-year-old.

• Both sire and dam are national division winners at Reno, Denver or Ft. Worth. The dam, 150W, was a division winner at both Denver and Ft. Worth in 2011. She is very broody, deep made, soft and easy doing in addition to being sound structured and having a beautiful udder with balance and small teats. The sire, Full Tank, was the 2010 Western Nugget National Reserve Grand Champion Hereford Bull and, in addition, won his division at the 2011 national Ft. Worth show. He is a son of GKB Downtown B627 ET and out of the Breeze B533 donor that was a division champion at Reno in 2006 as well as winning other national divisions and supreme at Houston. Full Tank’s first calves are on the ground and they are exciting with that extra dimension of muscle and eye appeal. When you look at the pedigree of these embryos, this mating is combining winning genetics that are also proven genetics! Lots of show potential here and then you will have superior genetics to add to your herd.

• Here is an outstanding January heifer calf that has already been named reserve heifer calf champion at the 2011 Puyallup show and with her dam were named reserve champion cow-calf pair at the same show. She is stout, big-bodied, heavy-structured and will make a tremendous show heifer and then mama cow. Her sire is from the great Ned and Jan Ward program in Wyoming and her dam has a powerful pedigree for quality cattle with style, muscle and marketability.

• The heifers from England Ranch are crowd favorites every year for one reason. They all make great cows! This one is by the great Yankee who puts dimension and performance into everything and out of a good cow with a BR of two at 97.5 and WR of two at 100. Remember, the England family knows how to make cows!

• Marylee White always puts her best in the sale. This sweet little May heifer calf will surely tear up the intermediate division. Remember last year we sold two of her best and averaged over $7,000 per head. That is because her cattle are good and work in from the showring to the pasture. If you have ever seen where she runs them in Burns, Ore., you will know they have to earn their keep!

• This female had a birth wt. of 74 lb. Her sire, Harland, is one of the great maternal and calving ease bulls in the breed. This heifer calf is red to the ground and very correct in her make up. She has seven traits that are in the top 10% of the breed or better. Her pedigree is flawless on the bottom side with GH Neon 17N and GO Excel L18 in her pedigree. This female is moderate framed, stylish and is gentle as a kitten. With her kind and pedigree, she should make a donor some day.

• This female is out of our donor cow that comes from the famed Holden program. She has 10 traits that rank her in the top 10% or better. Visually, she is gorgeous fronted, dark red, stylish and quiet. Her sire has a tremendous EPD profile and is doing a tremendous job in our program. This great female is going to be a donor cow someday.

Champion Horned Bull. She is a maternal sister to 135Y’s dam. Their mother is the maternal grandam to Huth Progression S019 at ABS Global.

• This heifer has it all, outstanding EPDs and phenotype backed by superior maternal and carcass genetics. He is sired by Churchill Rocket 938W, who is our pick as a bull with superior EPDs. He is a son of the great CJH Harland 408 out of a full sister to Churchill Yankee. Her dam is a maternal powerhouse. She has four direct daughters in production in our herd and five granddaughters. All of her offspring are in the top of her herds. This is our first consignment to the Reno sale, so we are bringing our best.

• This young April heifer is our best spring heifer calf. She is square, stout and deep. She is sound and correct, has more than enough thickness and should make a great cow.

• The UPS Domino 5008 daughters have been very well received the last few years in Reno and this one is better than we have brought before. She was recently named reserve champion female at the Central Washington Fair in Yakima. She is maternal through and through and has a dam with a BR of three at 92.3, WR of two at 101 and YR of one at 100. The Anderson family always brings their best to the sale and this one is sharp fronted with a tremendous profile and style. She is very attractive in her design, very complete and will compete with the best.
