What Is Life Without Change?

“I would like ketchup,” she said to the server, as a group of us sat in an open-air restaurant in Costa Rica while the rain fell around us one evening. The server gave her a questioning look, clearly not understanding. “Ketchup, I want K-E-T-C-H-U-P,” she said louder and louder, as if being more articulate would cross that language barrier and get her that dipping sauce for her fries. For many of us college animal science students, that short-term trip to Central America got us our first stamp on our passports and our first experience with a different culture, a different language, different foods and an all-around different way of living life. The frustration my classmate felt and the frustration I have felt whether living abroad, moving to a new city or changing jobs stems from the difficulty of adapting and changing to our surroundings. The excitement I experienced opening up a care package containing real, American peanut butter from my aunt after two months studying abroad in Italy was just the tip of the iceberg of my difficulty to adapt to my changing environment. Here I was living in a country with some of the best foods in the world, and all I was craving was a taste of home. But as the semester progressed and I started to accept and appreciate the differences, the little town of Viterbo, Italy, began to take on its own version of home for me.

/ November 2015

The great adventurer Theodore Roosevelt said, “There can be no life without change, and to be afraid of what is different or unfamiliar is to be afraid of life.” There’s always going to be a barrier to overcome, and there’s always going to be adaptation to make.

Herefords east to west During the past few months, I’ve had the opportunity to get out of the office and to travel to see Hereford herds in the Southeast and the Northwest — two opposite parts of the country. It’s also two very different climates for raising cattle and two environments that cause two very different sets of challenges. In middle Tennessee, cattlemen receive ample rainfall and have lush grasses but fight heat and humidity each year. In the Northwest, access to water is a hot-button issue, but cattle can make rocky land, unproductive for farming, productive and profitable. The takeaway for me from these two trips is that Herefords are adaptable and efficient in numerous environments. In both regions, I saw healthy cows weaning healthy, heavy calves, and I saw structurally sound yearling bulls ready to be sold to commercial cattlemen that also had the data and expected progeny differences (EPDs) to back them up.

In this issue In this issue is the 2015 American Hereford Association

Annual Report: The Brand That Does It All. You’ll find in this year’s report growing numbers in registrations, transfers and membership, along with record-setting sale prices. This information proves that Hereford cattle are in demand, not in just a limited region of the U.S., but from the East to the West Coast, cattlemen are realizing the advantage Hereford genetics bring to their herds. While there will always be room for change and adaptation in the future, it’s evident that from the direction the breed is going, it’s ready to meet those head on. I also attended a media event in Denver to learn how Beef Checkoff dollars are leveraged to conduct nutrition research. It’s comforting to know that the beef industry as a whole is poised to share with our main customer, the Millennial consumer, the science-based research proving that beef fits in a healthy diet. Our industry has adapted to the times and is working together to keep our market strong. In this issue you will also learn more about our 2015 American Hereford Association President, Eric Walker, and how he used what he learned from running two successful businesses to lead the Association through a year of change. Once you’ve made the decision to accept changing circumstances and figure out a way to adapt, the result is success. HW Hereford.org

The Most Important Ingredient

Earlier this fall, I attended the Northwest Hereford Tour â&#x20AC;&#x201D; traveling through Idaho, Oregon and Washington, visiting ranches and meeting cattlemen. The Hereford breeders in that region certainly rolled out the red carpet for a great crowd that represented 11 states and Canada. Logging a lot of miles that week, I found the bus trip a great opportunity to visit with and answer questions from breeders on the tour, as well as to hear from those in different regions of the country about their programs. Mark Holt, our Western region field representative, and his wife, Staci, did a wonderful job of organizing this nearly 1,000 mile, three-and-a-half-day event. The tour combined some of the Hereford breedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best seedstock herd visits along with commercial herd tours. We traveled through some of the most breathtaking scenery that the United States has to offer but yet its some of the most challenging desert conditions. It was evident that access to water, the most vital ingredient for success for both farmers and ranchers,

/ November 2015

created daily challenges. As some have dealt with drought over the past few years and some have dealt with excess rain this year, the ranchers in this region really feel the impact of Mother Nature, government policy and population growth when it comes to water. Population growth and the trend to urbanize will continue to affect water supplies for agriculture. In most areas of the United States, there are no new sources of unused water, so growing cities increasingly reach out at greater distances to take water currently used by farmers and ranchers. In the northwest region, this water supply also affects commerce because rivers and the locks and dams system are how many farmers transport their goods. As we rode through this area, it was amazing to hear how producers would run 90 pairs on 80 acres in this tough environment simply with rotation and irrigation. Population growth will challenge producers on many fronts including a struggle over land and water, and this struggle will demand new technology, with sound policy at the

local, state and national levels. This situation will also affect production practices and will continue to force cattlemen to select for efficiency, fertility and longevity. It was evident that Hereford cattle will continue to have a large influence in the commercial industry because of the inherent advantages they provide. It also proves that we must continue to make comprehensive selections using all the tools available and to look at new ways to identify genetics that can be used to make sound, sciencebased decisions. As you read through this edition of the Hereford World, you see the American Hereford Association (AHA) 2015 Annual Report that tells the story of another great year in the Hereford breed with increases in registrations, our membership, the amount of Certified Hereford Beef (CHBÂŽ) tons sold and the great demand for Hereford genetics. For these, I personally would like to commend the AHA membership, the AHA staff and our leadership for setting a strategy for continued growth. HW

Understanding Horned/Polled and Scurred Traits It seems as time moves ahead we’ve see more demand for Hereford genetics in commercial cow herds. Along with that, there have been many questions on the differences among homozygous polled (PP), heterozygous polled (Pp), homozygous horned (pp) and scurred animals within the Hereford breed. Let’s take a look at these differences. Jack Ward

The horned/polled trait Scurred cattle are classified as polled since they do have a polled gene, and only polled animals can express the scurred trait. To understand the inheritance of the scurred trait, it is important to understand the genetics involved in how the horned/polled trait is inherited. Five keys to understanding include: 1) Polled is dominant to horned, so those animals that carry one gene for polled (PP) and one for horned (Pp) will be polled. 2) All offspring that are bred to a PP sire and a PP dam will be PP. 3) When a PP bull is bred to a Pp female, resulting offspring will be onehalf PP and the other half will be Pp. 4) When a Pp bull is bred to a Pp female, resulting offspring will be onequarter PP, one-half Pp and one-quarter pp. 5) When a Pp bull is bred to a pp female, resulting offspring are one-half Pp and one-half pp.

/ November 2015

Understanding scurs Some polled cattle have scurs, which are incompletely developed horns that are usually attached to the skin and can be scab-like or can resemble horns. Having scurs is why the phenotypic condition is sometimes hard to identify. Scurs are also genetic but different from the polled gene, and in bulls the gene for scurs is dominant. So, if a bull has scurs, he can be either heterozygous (Ss) or homozygous (SS), and if a female has scurs, she must be homozygous (SS). Cows that are Ss will be smooth polled. Scurs can only be seen in polled cattle because horned cattle hide the scurred gene. Here are some mating examples: 1) If you have a scurred cow (Pp for the horned/ polled gene and SS for the scurred gene) and she is mated to a PP smooth polled bull (ss), all of the heterozygous polled bull calves should be scurred. More importantly, the bull calves produced from this mating that are not scurred should be PP. 2) All of the females produced in this example would be smooth polled but would carry one dominant gene for the scurred trait and all calves of both sexes would either be smooth polled or scurred/polled because they would all receive a dominant gene for polled from the bull.

3) If a heterozygous scurred female is bred to a heterozygous scurred bull, all homozygous polled calves will not have scurs. All homozygous horned calves will not have scurs. The only scurred female will be heterozygous for the horned/polled trait and homozygous for scurs. Here are some key points to remember: • Breeders interested in polled cattle can ignore the scur trait except that it is an indicator that the animal is heterozygous for the horned/polled gene.

• Only cattle heterozygous for the polled trait (Pp) will express scurs.

• There is a test available for horned/polled in the Hereford breed. Visit the Hereford.org “Education Center” for more information.

• The scurred gene

is sex linked and is dominant in bulls and recessive in females.

• Animals may not

express the scurred gene, but they may carry the gene and pass it on to their offspring. HW Source: RR Schalles, Kansas State University

Rancher Spotlight:

Sonoma Mountain Herefords If you ever find yourself up in the beautiful Sonoma wine country and come across a bunch of top-quality Herefords, you have probably just come across the Hereford cattle of Sonoma Mountain Herefords, Santa Rosa, Calif. The Mickelson family of Jim, Marcia, Bobby and Jamie own and operate Sonoma Mountain Herefords, a family-run seedstock ranch that manages 200 registered cows in the picturesque Sonoma wine country. The heifers are sold through private treaty, and the bulls are sold through an annual bull sale each fall in October. The ranch has operated for more than 20 years on the same land. Jim oversees the business and his and Marcia’s son, Bobby, is the herdsman taking care of day-to-day operations. Their daughter, Jamie, is in charge of fitting the show string and maintains the ranch’s website. In addition, Jamie has also begun a new venture with Sonoma Mountain Beef Company. She will be selling local branded beef, focusing on high-end retail accounts. Marcia is also in charge of recordkeeping.

/ November 2015

Sonoma Mountain traces its lineage back to the famous Kunde Herefords that Marcia’s father began raising in the 1940s. When the Mickelson children were growing up, they started showing steers, then heifers, and things took off from there. Jim and Marcia bought her parents’ herd and began production co-owned with their children. Marcia says, “Once you’ve raised Herefords in your 4-H and FFA project and you realize what a great breed of cattle they are, it’s pretty hard to deviate into a secondary breed.” The Mickelsons love Herefords for a number of reasons: mothering ability, doability, efficiency, the longevity of their bulls, the carcass quality of offspring and docility. Their docility translates into better carcass quality due to their calm nature. Plus, Marcia states, “You don’t have to batten down the hatches when one of the cows is calving and needs a bit of help.” However, ranching in California is no easy chore because ranchers are always worried about water and the

state government. “While already tough with lack of rain over the past three years, one more year of drought in this state and I’m not sure what position the government is going to take in seizing water rights,” Marcia says. However, Sonoma Mountain Herefords is always looking for ways to adapt. Whether it’s different ways to feed, new genetics, using different management tools or embracing technology, the Mickelsons know producers have to stay abreast of what is going on to be successful — like pairing great tasting Hereford beef and wine. The Mickelsons also operate a winery and vineyard and say the two diverse operations of cattle and wine are actually similar in nature. The cattle and grapes work hand in hand and make for not only sustainable agriculture but also quite the site for tourism. The Mickelsons differentiate by telling their authentic story that helps to sell their brand and allows them to stand out in the wine and beef industries. Their biggest enjoyment is the lifestyle that Hereford cattle have given them and their children. Marcia says the best way to relieve stress is to drive through the pasture of momma cows and their calves. “That is certain to put a smile on our faces,” she says. “The people that we have met and the friends we have made through the Hereford industry are quite treasured.” Stop by and visit with them if you find yourself up in Sonoma wine country, or you can find them at SonomaMountainHerefords.com.

Without the adults being there and helping serve food and There are events for the adults to get involved in as well. Judges are a must, drinks, the tailgate would not have been the success it was. especially when it comes to the many Apart from the events, the contest and scholarship opportunities Hereford youth need adults to keep that are offered at the JNHE. Adults them on schedule. It is easy to get sidetracked when hanging out with friends from all across the country, and sometimes an adult is needed to remind youth of event times.

fellowship and agriculture advocacy are great ways to meet new friends and to start connections that will last a lifetime. In open shows, where adults can also exhibit, the adults need to be involved in the lives of their juniors. Having a role model and a supporter means the world to Hereford youth of all ages. I remember starting with Hereford cattle and the amount of support and love I received from adult members had a huge influence on my life. Apart from the contests and shows, adult members have a role in the juniors’ everyday lives. As technology has advanced and life’s pace continues to speed up, it is easy for juniors to lose focus of our true mission as livestock producers. Adult members need to be involved in the numerous challenges juniors may face and to advise them in their decisions. With all of the misleading information in the world, especially related to agriculture, it is the adults’ responsibility as leaders and role models to develop the next group of men and women who will one day be the voice of this industry. I encourage adult members to stay involved within the NJHA and to be there to help a child when he or she needs to be picked up. Just because people get older does not mean they aren’t young at heart. I encourage adults to get involved, to be influential and to represent the Hereford breed with integrity. As a junior, I recognize the importance of adult mentoring and guidance to make decisions that will reflect on me as a person. There is always a place for adults to be in tune with the NJHA and its members. HW

Giving It All to the Future As you return home from a busy, exciting and memorable trip to Kansas City, Mo., for annual meetings, members of the National Hereford Women (NHW) challenge you to reflect on what you gained from this valuable time. The time spent with progressive, likeminded and dedicated breeders often inspires new ideas and energy around your goals.

National Hereford Queen Program celebrates 40 years The NHW was excited to celebrate a massive milestone for the National Queen Program and to recognize hundreds of ladies who have given their time to represent the breed. The 40th anniversary celebration during the American Royal was a great success, as we were able to commemorate so many wonderful friendships and to savor the passion for the program and the breed. We look forward to the next decade of young ladies that will represent their states and have the opportunity to participate in the National Queen Program. As the program continues to grow and to evolve, we hope that you will

encourage those on a local level to stay involved. Energy surrounding the state queen program continues to enhance the future for the breed and the National Queen Program.

The art of giving Dorothy Wright of Alvarado, Texas, was named the 2015 Hereford Woman of the Year. Dorothy was recommended for the award by her fellow Hereford breeders from the state of Texas due to her continual nature of giving. Dorothy and her late husband, Lindy Wright, are known for supporting the Texas Hereford youth in every way imaginable. Notably, Dorothy is a caretaker of awards, often crafting awards and decorations for Hereford events. Her generosity extends far beyond awards as she has hauled junior members and cattle to state shows and donated heifers for junior auctions and continues to give time to the Texas Junior Polled Hereford Association by serving as the organization’s bookkeeper. She has been a critical part of the Texas Poll-ettes, as she has served in nearly every capacity on the board and is always finding ways to support the junior members of Texas. Look for more on Dorothy in the December issue of the Hereford World.

Dedication to the program Foundational goals for the NHW have not waivered as the NHW has continued to grow since its founding. Members of the organization continually work to improve the values established for the organization and to find new ways to give to the Hereford breed. “Having the opportunity to work with a driven group of women who give to the board selflessly with the

goals of seeing the breed and our youth succeed has been an honor,” says retiring board member Becky Spindle, Moriarty, N.M. “I am confident in the leadership of the NHW board to continue to support the AHA (American Hereford Association) and National Junior Hereford Association while seeking new opportunities to develop the organizations goals.” Retiring from the board was a group of phenomenal ladies who were dedicated in passing knowledge and tradition of the NHW to new board members, while executing a variety of committees and additional projects. Those who were recognized included Spindle; Lauren Echols, Breckenridge, Texas; and Rhonda Eck, Putnam, Okla. The NHW is excited about the upcoming year with exciting opportunities ahead with the new recipe addition to our website and increased excitement about the Hereford youth programs. Our new board members are focused on working toward NHW goals. New members of the board are Eck; Karen Smith, Gatesville, Texas; and Trudy Nolles, Bassett, Neb.

Thank you for your support We also want to take the time to thank the seven young ladies who vied for the title of National Hereford Queen and representing our breed so well. This program could not be where it is without the strong NHW leadership and the support of Hereford breeders. NHW also recognizes the sacrifices our state queens’ parents make to provide this opportunity to their daughters. We look forward to carrying on the National Hereford Queen tradition for another 40 years. HW

Ask ‘Blue-Sky’ Questions Want to challenge yourself and your employee team to think and achieve bigger? Spend some time asking out-of-this-world, blue-sky questions: What would you do in the business if your budget were tripled? What would you do first if you were the manager? What would you do tomorrow if you won the lottery and didn’t have to work anymore? Warren Berger, author of the book “A More Beautiful Question,” suggests that asking big questions reframes an issue and forces you to look at things in a different way. He shares that the Polaroid camera came from a 3-year-old girl asking, “Why do we have to wait for the picture?” “That’s a beautiful question,” Berger says. In an Inc. magazine article, Berger said asking a question by stating, “How might we…?” is particularly intriguing to people — it makes them want to discuss and work on coming up with a solution. As well, Berger says fundamental questions like “Why are we doing this?” and “What do people really care about?” should frequently be asked both about new and existing projects. He adds, when you ask questions, the process/this different approach opens your thinking. Berger even goes so far as to suggest that mission statements should be replaced with questions. He points out, “A statement says we’ve done it already.” Whereas a question, asking “How might we…?” declares the great thing you want to do with your business or organization. “It’s much more empowering,” Berger says. Berger admits that most managers feel as if they should have answers — not be asking questions. But Berger says, “Great leaders do ask questions and that helps create a culture of inquiry.” He adds, “Great questions don’t get answered in 10 minutes. They may take six months.” When

/ November 2015

your team brings you great questions, everyone can work on them together.

Five-year prep Specifically, business gurus suggest asking three questions as you look ahead to the next five years: 1) What’s important? 2) What should be the same? 3) What needs to change? Simple questions, but it is surprising that we don’t pause and ponder these points more regularly. Most of us are usually too focused on the now. To help in answering these questions, also consider: What might you miss most if it were taken away? What legacy do you hope to leave, and to whom? Asking the right questions doesn’t allow for remaining passive. Questions often prompt reflection, followed by action. Berger says the process of inquiry triggers divergent thinking, in which the mind seeks multiple, sometimes non-obvious paths to a solution. Asking good questions and doing so often “opens people to new ideas and possibilities,” Berger says. Here are some of the “great questions” posed by others:

• How can we become the company that would put us out of business? Danny Meyer, CEO Union Square Hospitality Group.

• Are we relevant? Will we be relevant

five years from now? Ten? Debra Kaye, innovation consultant and author.

• What is it like to work for me?

Robert Sutton, author and Stanford University management professor.

• What trophy do we want on our mantle? Marcy Massura, digital marketer and brand strategist.

• What counts that we are not

counting? Chip Conley, head of global hospitality for Airbnb.

• What are the implications of this

decision 10 minutes, 10 months and 10 years from now? Suzy Welch, author.

• In the past few months, what is the

smallest change we’ve made that had the biggest positive result? What was it about that small change that produced the large return? Robert Cialdini, author and Arizona State University professor emeritus.

• Are we paying enough attention to

the partners our company depends on to succeed? Ron Adner, author and Tuck School of Business professor.

• Are we changing as fast as the

world around us? Gary Hamel, author and management consultant.

• How likely is it that a customer

would recommend our company to a friend or colleague? Andrew Taylor, executive Enterprise Holdings.

• Did my employees make progress today? Teresa Amabile, author and Harvard Business School professor.

• What one word do we want to own in the minds of our customers, employees and partners? Matthew May, author and innovation expert.

• If I had to leave my organization for a year and the only communication I could have with my employees was a single paragraph, what would I write? Pat Lencioni, author and founder of The Table Group.

• What should we stop doing? Peter

Drucker, management expert and author.

Questions for employees Asking direct questions of employees can also be a valuable tool to gather insight about their roles and the business. Questions managers might ask: How do you like your current role? What do you need from me to help you better succeed in your position? What could we be doing better or differently? Providing a forum for employee input can often help a business move to higher productivity and performance levels. You just have to be open-minded — and ask the questions that will lead to that input. HW Hereford.org

2015 AHA President Eric Walker led the Association through a year of change, setting up for successful times ahead. by Julie White

is cell phone rings in mid sentence, and with utmost Southern politeness, he excuses himself from the conversation to take a call and answer some questions from an employee at his tree and shrub nursery. Getting back to the conversation at hand, he notices a recently born, wobbly Hereford calf and new mom over by the pond, so he turns the truck toward the pair’s direction, anxious to find out the calf’s gender and if it’s doing well. On the phone again, he calls his herdsman to share the news. He picks up an iPad out of the console to record the outcome on a spreadsheet and jokes that the truck is his office as he goes back and forth between the two businesses he owns and oversees — Walker Polled Hereford Farm and Walker Nursery. Leadership is not new to American Hereford Association (AHA) President Eric Walker, Morrison, Tenn., but with each role he’s taken on, he says he’s

learned something along the way while hoping to give back to organizations and businesses that have meant much to him. See “Balancing Businesses” Page 31. “It’s been an honor to serve as president and follow the footsteps of the tremendous leaders we’ve had in the past,” Eric says. “Those are the ones that are making today successful.” AHA Executive Vice President Jack Ward says Eric has been dedicated to serving the Hereford breed. “He has given a great deal of time during his presidency traveling to sales, field days and other meetings representing the AHA.” Jack says Eric showed great leadership through the challenge of finding a new executive vice president while maintaining stability with AHA staff in order to keep the Association moving smoothly. “He is well organized and has done a great job of keeping continued on page 30...

the communication open between staff and Board committees,” he says. “Eric has always been an advocate for keeping the AHA at the front of breed improvement, marketing and creating efficiencies at the AHA office while being fiscally responsible. We are grateful for his time leading the Association.”

Hereford roots Eric’s interest in Hereford cattle began when he was a child. His father, Sam, owned a commercial Hereford herd. Eric purchased his first registered female in 1981. “I grew up with red-and-whiteface cattle so that’s what I knew,” Eric says, as he thinks back on his involvement with the breed. “I knew they were docile, easy to handle, good mothers and fertile. I always liked red-and-white cows on green grass. I’ve continued to breed and grow my

herd to present day to 125 cows and we’ll be breeding 60 to 65 heifers this next season. With natural calves and embryo transfer (ET) this calving year we’ll have 150-160 calves.” Eric, along with his wife, Rhonda, son, Cody, and stepson, Casey, manages Walker Polled Hereford Farm in middle Tennessee and strives to produce predictable, performance genetics for their customers. Cody joined the family’s cattle and nursery business fulltime in 2009, and Eric says he helps out in all aspects of both operations. “He’s very well-rounded and will be ready to step into my shoes eventually,” Eric says. Also helping out day-to-day for the past 16 years is herdsman Ray Kozak. The Walkers have a broad-range breeding program in an effort to meet the various needs of their customers. “We’re not specifically one bloodline,” he says. “We try to have cattle that will work not only here in the Southeast, but all across the country.” The family has hosted 18 production sales since 1986 and will have its 19th sale Labor Day weekend in 2016. Walker genetics have sold to 37 states, Canada and Mexico, and the Walkers have shipped embryos to Europe. Eric extensively utilizes artificial insemination (AI) and continues to grow their ET program. “One of the biggest issues facing us in using ET is the shortage of recipients so we have farmed out to some cooperator herds to raise calves for us,” he says. “We put in our first IVF embryos last year and those calves are being born now.” They have two calving seasons, calving some cows in the fall and a majority in the spring. The herd is pastured on approximately 500 acres of fescue grass, and the Walkers purchase grain for feed and supplement. They also make their own hay. “We are fortunate in my area to have 50-inch rainfall a year and that, of course, makes an environment for growing grass really good,” Eric says. “When we are in a cool, wet season the pastures are lush and cattle do extremely well. Also here the weather

can get hot and humid and the Hereford cows have adapted to that well.” Eric says his main goal for his cow herd is to produce cattle that are productive, functional and fertile and raise calves every year. “I prefer a cow that I would describe as middle of the road,” he says. “I don’t want to get extremes that’s too small or too large. I want to stay in the middle and hopefully that way we can have cattle go out and be functional and predictable, and have a cows that can wean a high percentage of their body weight and bring in a good calf each year.” Eric keeps the commercial cattleman in mind when marketing bulls. “I want to produce bulls that can go out into the commercial industry and do well for those commercial breeders,” he says. “I want them to have live calves at birth and yet get up and go and grow really fast up to weaning and yearling and hopefully improve carcasses for calves that they’re raising.” continued on page 32...

Eric prefers moderate cattle which he believes will meet various market demands.

Balancing businesses

Along with Walker Polled Hereford Farm, Eric Walker, Morrison, Tenn., owns and manages Walker Nursery. The business was founded in the 1950s by Sam Walker (Eric’s father) and his five brothers near McMinnville, Tenn. The business saw steady expansion through the early 1970s as a local grower for a larger nursery and Walker Nursery was introduced to re-wholesalers in a large portion of the country from the Midwest to the East Coast. In 1986 Eric joined the family business full-time after graduating from Middle Tennessee State University with a degree in agricultural economics and a minor in marketing. In February 1988, Eric took charge of day-to-day operations at the nursery. The company has grown exponentially since. After acquiring an additional 215 acres, Walker Nursery grows trees and shrubs on 500 acres of highly fertile soil and raises containergrown plants on an additional 10 acres. It grows many varieties of shade trees, ornamental and flowering trees, and many other plants from roses to grasses to numerous types of flowering and evergreen shrubs.

Hereford.org

Today, Walker Nursery ships products to 20-25 states a year, primarily east of Kansas City and Dallas, to garden centers, re-wholesalers and landscapers. Walker Nursery was one of the suppliers of trees for a memorial in rural Pennsylvania where Flight 93 crashed on 9/11. Eric says the two businesses overlap at times. “The busy time for the nursery is in the spring when we’re harvesting and also transplanting a new crop,” he explains. “Of course that’s during calving and breeding season. We’re stretched pretty far February through April.” However, the main area where the two are similar is that Eric volunteers his time in both industries. He has served as president of the Tennessee Nursery and Landscape Association and is also a member of the Southern Nursery Association and the Middle Tennessee Nursery Association. In addition to being this year’s American Hereford Association president, Eric is a member of the Middle and East Tennessee Hereford Associations as well as a member of the Tennessee and Warren County Cattlemen’s Associations. He has also been a director and president of the Tennessee Polled Hereford Association. “Being a member of associations and serving on boards has helped me grow as a person and to make lifelong friendships with other members,” he says. “It’s helped me be able to know how associations work and it’s let me grow and become a better person.” Not surprisingly, Eric also says cattle business and nursery business strategies are similar. “The biggest thing is to make sure that we produce a quality product that our customers will keep coming back and wanting more of,” he says. “As long as we keep producing a better product, they’ll want more of that product.” HW

...Two Businesses, One Leader continued from page 31

Q&A with AHA President Eric Walker What do you consider to be the five highlights of fiscal year 2015? For me this year’s highlights include hiring Jack Ward as the new American Hereford Association (AHA) executive vice president; launching a new national ad campaign; marking increases in registrations, transfers and membership; hosting a recordbreaking Junior National Hereford Expo in Grand Island, Neb.; and having the opportunity to bring the Board to my home state of Tennessee for its summer meeting. What do we need to work on as a breed? As a breed we need to continue to strive to produce better cattle. As seedstock producers, we need to pay attention to what commercial cattlemen are looking for in bulls and replacement females. We must breed cattle that are structurally correct and have good feed conversion and mothering ability. We cannot use single trait selection. And to gain market share, we must breed better cattle and take care of new and old customers. What are some of your favorite memories from your time on the Board? Probably the most favorite memory I have is making lifetime friendships with other Board members and Hereford breeders. It has been educational to travel around and see how other breeders deal with different environments and challenges. When you were elected to the Board, what were your goals for the Association? How has that changed? My main goal was to make Hereford a better breed and to have a stronger organization. I certainly think this has been accomplished by the increase in registrations, transfers and memberships. I don’t think this goal should change for future Boards. If we work together as a membership and breed we will continue to grow and gain more market share. How would you summarize your tenure on the Board? My tenure on the Board has been very enlightening. As a Board member, a person finds out the real innerworkings of the Association. There is so much work being done behind the scenes to make the Association better. I would encourage breeders to get involved in the Association whether it be on a local, state or national level. Most of the time the benefits and rewards outweigh the work that is put into time spent working on the Board. What are your thoughts about serving as the 2015 AHA president? It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the 2015 AHA president. The breed is seeing growth and prosperity. The Board of Directors have been a very good group to work with. We have faced some tough challenges and made decisions that I feel will continue to move the Hereford breed forward. HW

/ November 2015

Serving the breed Eric had similar goals for the AHA as he joined the board of directors in 2011. “My main goal was to make Hereford a better breed and to have a stronger organization,” he says. He describes his time on the Board as an enlightening experience. “I’ve gotten meet and know many fellow breeders that I would not have been able to meet otherwise and have made strong friendships with several current and former board members,” he says. “This has made me grow as a person to be more about the membership and not about one single breeder or person. This board has tried to be that way and to look at the whole picture.” During his time on the AHA Board, Eric has served on the Executive, financal, member service and the Hall of Fame committees and chaired the marketing committee in 2013-14. Eric says, as a board member, he found out what goes on behind the scenes. “With this Association I have realized how [the staff members] are compassionate and care about the membership,” he explains. “The employees are honest and hardworking and they look out for the membership and they want everybody to get what they need. People that work for the AHA are true, down-to-earth individuals.” While he described his year as president as a trying year, he is proud of the work he and the Board accomplished. “This Board has come together and everyone had to get involved and take a role and they have done that,” Eric says. “Every Board member stepped up to the plate and everyone has had input. It’s been a really great year.” It has also been a year of change for the AHA. “We’ve instituted some new programs and we have a new executive vice president, but it’s all been for the good of the organization,” he says. “With everything that transpired, it made the Board closer. We gelled as a Board and worked together to accomplish what was put before us. I want to personally thank the Board for all the hard work they did.” One of the biggest challenges for the Board this year, Eric says, was filling the executive vice president position. “We took our time to make a sound decision, and I’m proud of the way the Board worked together with the search committee in place to hire Jack Ward.” As a former chair of the marketing committee, Eric was pleased the Board approved a new national ad campaign. “We’ve been challenged for a couple of years for a new ad campaign and I was glad to get that in place and moving forward,” he says. “With the new ad campaign and new exec we are taking strides to keep the Association moving to the top. It was also a challenge to increase membership, registrations and transfers and we did that.” Eric says his term as president is not marked by this year; it will be marked down the road. “If the Hereford breed continues to grow and gain market share, that will tell how good this tenure was. I think we will. We’ve tried to put things in place for the members and the Association to make it grow and the membership to know that this Association is strong and has a future ahead of itself.” HW Hereford.org

Advancing the Brand

F Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president Jack Ward was named the AHA executive vice president in May. Since joining the AHA team in 2003, he has served as AHA’s chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. “After a rigorous search, Jack was an inspired choice by the Board,” says Eric Walker, AHA president and a Hereford breeder from Morrison, Tenn. “His knowledge and experience of all aspects of the seedstock industry combined with his commitment and respect for the Hereford breed and its members made him the choice candidate. He cares deeply about organizational development, the people who work at AHA and our Hereford members. We believe he will continue to lead the Association as the breed continues to increase market share in the commercial industry.”

iscal year 2015 has been a year of continued progress and growth for the Hereford brand. Record sale prices for bulls and females, and increases in registrations (6%), transfers (10%) and membership (7%) prove the continued demand for Hereford genetics. The stakes have never been higher to create value and efficiency throughout the production system. As a breed we can provide the industry genetics that are efficient, accountable, predictable, profitable and sustainable. Because of our members’ commitment and dedication to data collection, we have developed tools that positively influence cow longevity, including udder quality. Hereford longevity and fertility are important profit drivers that affect ranch sustainability and are key to our commercial customers’ success. This past year has been full of Hereford activity. We kicked off the fiscal year with the Hereford Genetic Summit Sept. 4-5 in Springfield, Mo. The Summit focused on genetics and how the beef industry will be challenged to produce the product that the consumer demands to keep the industry sustainable and to feed a growing population. To me, the message was clear: we, as an organization, have to be focused on helping our breeders make genetic progress

by concentrating on these four key strategies:

• Keep putting pressure on calving ease.

• Work hard on adding end-product merit.

• Keep working to identify efficient, low-cost cattle.

• Keep doing all of these things, while not losing focus on what has kept the Hereford breed in the game.

Other highlights of the year were the record-breaking Mile High Night Sale in Denver during the National Western Stock Show and the record-breaking Junior National Hereford Expo this summer in Grand Island, Neb. There is no doubt today’s commercial cattleman wants it all (see Hereford.org/TheyWantItAll), and the Hereford breed is poised to be the brand that provides it all. I’m excited to have the opportunity to serve as your executive vice president and to be part of these exciting times as we continue to strengthen the Hereford brand and to meet the needs of our commercial customers and, ultimately, the consumer. As you read the following pages, you’ll find there is so much to our Hereford brand story; let’s keep focused and “provide it all” for our customers. — Jack Ward, executive vice president

The Brand That Does It All: Data, Research Prove Hereford Advantage

Progress Through Performance

edicated to genetic improvement of the breed, the American Hereford Association (AHA) provides its members with programs to document the Hereford advantage. For 15 years, AHA’s Whole-Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program has been helping Hereford breeders make in-herd progress as well as helping the AHA build the largest database in the industry for lifetime cow productivity. Hereford is leading the industry in genetic technology. In an era when “sustainable agriculture” is the buzzword, the Hereford breed has delivered those traits that will sustain the profitability of the commercial industry.

New udder EPDs released Thanks to Hereford breeders’ commitment to Whole-Herd TPR, the Association released expected progeny differences (EPDs) for udder quality during fiscal year (FY) 2015 and is in the final stages of releasing EPDs for heifer calving rate, sustained cow fertility and feed efficiency. “These are important traits to analyze because commercial producers demand genetics that are problem-

free,” says Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president. “The Association’s role is to give our members tools to make improvement in beef production. Udder EPDs are the next phase in breed improvement strategies that will allow our members to continue to improve the genetics they produce.”

Research sets the course The Association’s comprehensive National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) is the envy of the seedstock industry. During the program’s 16 years, more than 300 bulls have been tested. This year more than 2,000 cows were enrolled in the program. DNA testing technology continues to evolve, giving Hereford breeders even more predictive power when making genetic decisions. The AHA has taken a very scientific approach by collaborating with some of the brightest animal geneticists in the country to develop Hereford-specific genomic-enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs) through the national cattle evaluation (NCE). By blending pedigree, phenotypes and now genetic information, the Association has the ability to predict the breeding value of young unproven

animals with new accuracy levels that equate to an animal having three to eight progeny on record. At the end of the fiscal year, AHA had more than 21,000 genotypes for genetic evaluation. AHA also continues to participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) $4 million national program for genetic improvement of feed efficiency in beef cattle as well as the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture-funded study investigating genomic technologies to enhance beef cattle fertility. FY 2015 marked the fourth calf crop born at Simplot Livestock Co. as part of the multi-year research project documenting the benefits of using calving-ease Hereford sires in a predominately Angus program. Thanks to all this progress, Hereford semen use in the commercial industry is also increasing. According to the National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB), domestic Hereford semen sales increased 24% compared to those of last year. Hereford domestic semen sales have steadily increased since 2006 (179%), a testament to the increasing demand for Hereford genetics in the commercial industry.

Hereford breeders were challenged to embrace technology, to focus on the customer, and to concentrate on feed efficiency and end-product merit during the Hereford Genetic Summit Sept. 4-5. Nearly 300 Hereford industry leaders attended the event hosted at the Darr Agricultural Center/Bond Learning Center on the Missouri State University campus in Springfield, Mo. Throughout the day-and-a-half conference, attendees were challenged by industry experts to think about the future of the breed as well as that of their individual operations.

the demand for Herefords in the marketplace today. Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) and the Hereford World are key partners and tools for producers marketing Hereford genetics. The Hereford World included 1,174 pages of advertising, an increase of 174 pages compared to fiscal year 2014. A total of 15 catalogs were mailed with the Hereford World. Beyond the magazine, the Creative Services team produced 73 sale catalogs, seven directories, 46 postcards plus numerous other projects such as brochures, stall cards and logo design. Spreading the Hereford message and creating more Hereford demand is a combined effort of the AHA and HPI communication team. In addition to the Hereford World, the communication team utilizes Hereford eNews, Sales Digest, Hereford.org, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to promote the Hereford brand along with a concentrated effort in press release distribution and networking with other media outlets.

The spotlight was on Herefords at this year’s National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver Jan. 14-17. The Mile High Night Hereford Sale continues to be a highlight of the event, and it once again broke records on the stadium floor. “The 2015 Mile High Night Hereford Sale was one for the NWSS record books,” says Marshall Ernst, NWSS livestock operations senior director. “With a record-setting attendance and a bred-female selling for a record $250,000, this year’s event will be one that is long remembered by Hereford enthusiasts as well as others in the beef industry.” An estimated 5,000 were in attendance for the sale’s first time to be managed by the American Hereford Association (AHA). “It’s been an exciting time for the Hereford breed,” says Joe Rickabaugh, AHA director of seedstock marketing. “In addition to breaking a record with the high-selling lot, we saw 30 out of 40 lots bring $10,000 or more. The last lot in the sale brought $18,000, and there were eight lots over $30,000.”

The Brand That Does It All: Branded Beef Program Drives Demand

CHB Volume Surpasses 51 million lb.

elebrating its 20th year as a brand, the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) program continues to expand its market share and meet the needs of its customers. During its first 20 years, the CHB® brand has marketed 641 million lb. of product, affecting the marketing of 3.4 million head of Hereford-influenced cattle. Fiscal year (FY) 2015 was a year of growth for the program with 51.2 million lb. of product sold — a 2% increase compared to the previous year’s total. Since 2008, CHB LLC has increased beef sales by 46%. CHB LLC staff, along with the program’s marketing partners, tout the advantages of CHB product in marketing differentiation when compared to other brands, along with the fact that it is consistently tender, juicy and flavorful. These advantages are fueling the brand’s advance in both foodservice and retail markets.

Program growth Foodservice continues to provide the most growth opportunity for CHB LLC. As consumers continue to prepare fewer meals at home, CHB LLC staff members have worked hard to supply a high-quality source of beef to restaurateurs and chefs through distributors around the country. CHB LLC’s foodservice division experienced a 2 million lb. growth during FY 2015. The following new distributors contributed to this increase: Cash-Wa Distribution, Kearney, Neb.; Sysco Virginia, Harrisonburg, Va.; Crystal Creek Cattle Co., Ft Worth, Texas; Golden Gate Meats, Sacramento, Calif.; and Sysco North Dakota, Fargo, N.D.

Caribbean and Central and South America markets. A new opportunity becoming an asset to the program was CHB value-added products. “Adding value to CHB primal cuts is proving to be a great asset to CHB’s bottom line for retail and foodservice,” explains Mick Welch, CHB LLC vice president of sales. “As our distributors explore what their customer base is seeking for home or dining out, CHB LLC staff is paying attention and offering CHB value-added products that meets those needs.” The retail and foodservice divisions continue to build brand recognition through programs like the National Grocers Association tradeshow and radio marketing opportunities.

Meeting the demand As the demand for CHB continues to grow, the supply of high-quality cattle must also continue to increase. CHB LLC staff, along with packing partners, are continually working to increase, not only supply, but also carcass utilization. In a cattle market that is offering record low cattle numbers, CHB LLC continues to find ways to utilize as much of each carcass as possible to meet the demand for CHB. This past year was a great example of doing just that. During FY 2015, a total of 336,147 cattle were identified through CHBlicensed packing facilities as eligible from a live specification standpoint, while more than 235,650 carcasses were certified for the program — a certification rate of 70%. “Our consumers have found the CHB-brand product meets their demand for a consistent, quality dining experience with a great value,” says David Trowbridge, CHB LLC board president. “Our producers, staff and packer partners work as a team to provide the highest quality product and continue to build the CHB brand. Our legendary story and highquality product value will continue to provide our CHB team with unlimited potential to provide the pull-through demand for Hereford genetics.”

The Brand That Does It All: Youth Program Creates Enthusiasm for the Brand

‘Hereford Nation,’ Youth Break Records Junior trends 2010-2015

JNHE entries

NJHA membership

he National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and its programs and activities have created enthusiasm among youth and for the future of the breed. Since 2010, active youth membership has increased by 658 or 29%. Fostering the excitement for the NJHA is the association’s premier event each year — the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). “Hereford Nation” took Grand Island, Neb., by storm June 27 to July 3 as the city hosted the record-setting 2015 VitaFerm® JNHE. During the event, more than 800 youth from 38 states exhibited a recordnumber 1,441 entries. Throughout the week, juniors were also awarded nearly $25,000 in scholarships, plus they participated in 22 contests outside the showring. Another highlight of the NJHA year is the Program for Reaching Individuals

Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention. This year 90 youth attended the “Faces of Leadership” event in Estes Park, Colo. Key to Hereford’s youth program success is the support from the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA). This year more than $200,000 was raised to support leadership and education for the next generation of Hereford youth. The Hereford Research Foundation (HRF) is a division of HYFA that was started in 2009 to support breed improvement projects outside the scope of the American Hereford Association (AHA) budget. Through the years, more than $300,000 has been raised to support projects such as calvingease research at Simplot; the GrowSafe system built at Olsen Ranch, Harrisburg, Neb., to collect feed intake data; and the work done to DNA sequence Hereford legacy sires.

Hereford youth exhibited a record-number 1,441 entries at the 2015 JNHE in Grand Island, Neb. More than 800 youth from 38 states participated in the weeklong event featuring the cattle show plus 22 contests outside the showring.

1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations The American Hereford Association (the Association) is a not-for-profit association that 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 on behalf of Certified Hereford Beef. 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 magazine periodically. The Association is the sole member of Certified Hereford Beef®, LLC (CHB). CHB is a not-for-profit association. 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 27, 2000. Prior to that date, CHB’s activities were performed and accounted for within the Association. American Beef Records Association (ABRA) is a not-for-profit association that is wholly owned by the Association. ABRA provides computer consultation in herd planning and management, breeding services and marketing for commercial livestock of various breeds. Financial Statement Presentation The Association reports information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets. • Unrestricted Net Assets: Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations. • Temporarily Restricted Net Assets: Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that may or will be met, either by actions of the Association and or the passage of time. When a restriction expires, 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: Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that they be maintained permanently by the Association. The Association doesn’t have any permanently restricted net assets. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Association and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HPI, CHB and ABRA, collectively referred to as the Association. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Accounting The accrual method of accounting is used, which recognizes income in the period earned and expenses in the period incurred. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Association considers all money market investments and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investments amounting to $222,824 and $45,740 were considered to be cash equivalents at August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Accounts Receivable Receivables are presented at face value, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts and consist of amounts billed for magazine advertising, subscriptions and member services, but not received by year-end. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through provisions charged against income and is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb estimated bad debts based on historical experience. The Association’s receivables are considered past due based upon contractual terms and are automatically charged off after three years. 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 $28,554 and $6,417 as of August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on the first-in, first-out method. Investments The Association’s investment portfolio is subject to the investment policy set forth by the Board of Directors. Investments are comprised of debt and equity 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, 2015 and 2014. Gains or losses on sales of investments are determined on a specific cost identification method. Unrealized gains and losses are determined based on yearend market values and reported in the consolidated statement of activities as increases or decreases in net assets. Fair Value Measurement The accounting standards define a fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Association determines the fair value of investments using three broad levels of input as defined by related accounting standards. Level 1: Observable inputs – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2: Observable inputs – other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs – includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

2015 AHA Annual Report 11

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used during the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014. Equity Securities: Equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Fixed Income Securities: Corporate, government, and municipal bonds and fixed income securities are generally valued by a computerized pricing service or, for less actively traded issues, by utilizing a yield-based matrix system to arrive at an estimated market value. Acquisition of Fixed Assets The Association capitalizes all expenditures for property and equipment in excess of $1,000. Purchases of fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation of property and equipment is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset. The estimated useful life of assets ranges from 3 to 30 years. During 2014, $665,437 of fixed assets and $658,670 of related accumulated depreciation were retired and removed from the August 31, 2014, consolidated statement of financial position. These retired assets included computer equipment and software, office furniture and equipment, and certain building improvements. Compensated Absences Employees are entitled to one week of paid time off each year. Unused paid time off cannot be carried over from one year to the next and is not paid out upon termination. Accordingly, no liability for accrued paid time off has been recorded. The Association’s policy is to recognize the costs of compensated absences when actually used by employees. 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. Functional Allocation of Expenses The costs of providing the various programs and activities have been sum marized on a functional basis in the consolidated statement of activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the program services and supporting activities benefited. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are charged to expense when incurred. The amount expensed during the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, was $246,323 and $415,238, respectively. Income Taxes AHA, ABRA, and CHB are exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore have made no provision for federal or state income taxes in the accompanying consolidated 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 under Section 509(a)(2). 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, 2015 and 2014, 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. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. 2 — Fair Value Measurements The following tables, set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, list the Association’s assets at fair value: August 31, 2015 Equity Securities Municipal Bonds Government agency bonds Corporate bonds Fixed Income Securities Total August 31, 2014 Equity Securities Municipal Bonds Government agency bonds Corporate bonds Fixed Income Securities Total

88,203 24,695 1,029,033 839,822 317,579 $2,299,332

3 — Retirement Plan The Association provides eligible employees with a 401(k) Qualified Retirement plan. The Association also established a profit sharing 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, 2015 and 2014, were $95,862 and $86,395, respectively. 4 — Long-Term Obligations

Long-term obligations consists of the following at August 31: Notes - vehicles, collateralized by related vehicles, interest from 2.74% to 6.74%, maturing from January 2015 through November 2019. Less: Current portion Total Long-Term Obligations

5 — Leases

The Association has long-term and short-term operating leases for certain equipment, copiers and plants. Amounts recorded as equipment lease expense were $12,138 and $14,138, respectively, for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014. The future long-term minimum rental payments for the above-mentioned leases are as follows for the years ended August 31: Year Amount Year Amount $9,337 FYE 2019 $5,151 FYE 2016 $9,337 FYE 2020 $3,130 FYE 2017 $9,337 Thereafter – FYE 2018 $36,292

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

August 31, 2015 August 31, 2014 $115,747 $114,815 (115,747) (114,815) $ – $–

HPI utilized a net operating loss of approximately $0 and $107,025 for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. HPI has a net operating loss carryforward of $340,432 available to offset future federal and state taxable income that begin to expire in 2019, as follows: Year Amount Year 2019 $77,407 2022 $95,052 Thereafter 2020 $116,294 2021

Amount $29,681 $21,998 $ 340,432

The Association files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, and U.S. city 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. 7 — Temporarily Restricted Net Assets Temporarily restricted net assets are funds donated for the purpose of funding prizes and awards at the National Western Stock Show. The balance of temporarily restricted net assets was $0 and $112 as of August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 8 — Collections of Artwork The Association has a collection of artwork, appraised at approximately $639,200, at August 31, 2015 and $610,500 at August 31, 2014, that is on public display at the Association’s headquarters. The most recent appraisal is as of April 2015 for new pieces added in the current year and August 2011 for the rest of the collection. 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 are charged to expenses in the period when purchased. There were four pieces added to the collection during the year ended August 31, 2015, and none added during the year ended August 31, 2014. The Association insures these collections with a policy that has a face value consistent with the appraised values. 9 — Concentration of Credit Risk The Association maintains cash accounts that are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to the insured limits of the FDIC. The Association’s bank balances may exceed this limit from time to time. 10 — Subsquent Events The City of Kansas City, Missouri, has announced that, in its efforts to continue the revitalization of the downtown Kansas City area, plans have been approved to build a new hotel and convention center to be built on the block of property that includes the current location of the Association’s headquarters. This new hotel would be managed by Hyatt Hotels and will be funded mostly by private investors with some support from the City.

The Association’s Board of Directors has taken steps to protect the interests of the Association and its membership. The current headquarters building has served the Association for many years and could continue to do so for the foreseeable future; however, the Association also recognizes the importance of the project to the City, and the inevitability of their ultimate decision. The Board has formed a building committee and is working with the Association’s legal counsel through the proper due diligence for the potential sale and relocation of the Association’s headquarters. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, there is not an agreement in place or in negotiation with the City or Hyatt Hotels. The Association has evaluated subsequent events through October 7, 2015, the date which the consolidated financial statements were available for issue. There have been no additional events which require disclosure.

Late Weaning Wintering calves with their mothers cuts back on feed costs and diseases. by Heather Smith Thomas

alving later in the year, April through June, has its benefits with ample green grass and less need for harvested forage when a cow’s nutritional requirements peak during lactation. Along with later calving comes later weaning. Some cattlemen choose to winter calves with the cows and wean at about 10 months of age in late February through early April rather than during early winter’s harsh weather to reduce feed costs, lessen stress and decrease risk for disease.

Reducing input Jay and Krista Reiser, Washburn, N.D., save on winter feed costs by wintering calves with cows and

holding off weaning until spring. “The calves are born in May and June, and we wean them in late March, with fence-line weaning,” Krista says. For the last eight years, Nick Faulkner, Garrison, N.D., has chosen to winter calves with their mothers. “We wean them two months before the cows calve again,” Faulkner says. “We calve in late April. This has worked very well for us. We don’t have to give any vaccinations for scours or other calf diseases,” he says. Being on mother’s milk through winter, without the stress of weaning, seems to keep calves healthy. “In the spring, calving during warm weather, we are not seeing

any problems,” Faulkner says. “There have been a few cows that can’t handle it as well, losing body condition nursing their calf through winter, but those are the ones we cull because they don’t fit the program.” Faulkner says body condition score is monitored throughout the winter and the ranch’s feeding program helps keep most of its cows in good shape. “On our ranch we plant a lot of cover crops, hay them, and feed that to cows through winter,” he says. “They have top quality feed to help them keep body condition. Even if some cows lose a little weight, most of those thinner cows bounce back before they calve. Some of the cows you’d think might not do so well Hereford.org

Cow diets Jay and Krista Reiser, Washburn, N.D., didn’t feed anything special to their lactating cows in winter. “Since we are calving in May/June, the cows were getting CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) bales and very plain hay,” Krista says. “We were a little worried about their ability to hold body condition while lactating, but they did ok.” Calving that late in the season, the cows were still in early gestation during most of the winter and were able to pick up any lost weight by calving time. “It worked very well, considering the low quality forage, and the calves gained a pound per day,” she says. “We were very satisfied with the results.” Jay says some people may question the idea of leaving calves on the cows through winter. “Research at one of the universities some years back found early weaning a calf and then feeding the cow and calf separately saves 15% on feed,” he says. This may depend on what is being fed, how it is being fed and when. If pasture is short during drought, it may pay to wean calves early, to put them on the best available feed and to let cows continue to graze poor-quality forage without the added stress of lactation. “Keeping a calf on a cow may not be a good option if you have a heavy milking herd, since this would put more nutritional stress on the cow,” Jay says. “This comes back to a management decision to have that kind of cow.” Heavy-milking cows are not as efficient as more moderate-milking cows. But if cows are average in milk production and winter feed is adequate (grass or hay), it may be more cost effective to leave calves on the cows — if the cows are not calving again until May or June.

can really recover nicely with high quality feed.” Wintering pairs together simplifies the Faulkners’ winterfeeding program. “My father-in-law raised corn for silage for winter feed for 30 years, and a few years ago we dropped that completely,” Faulkner says. “We are no longer raising corn. We do more haying, but the calves go through winter so much better on the cows than they do being weaned.” The Faulkners keep their calves after weaning on grass and sell them in the fall. The ranch has been gradually increasing cow numbers and retaining replacement heifers. Faulkner says their calves that are weaned in late February really bloom when they hit the grass. “The calves are not stressed at all by weaning — about half of them are already weaned by their mothers by the time we wean the group,” Faulkner says, as this is a natural age for them to wean. “We do fenceline weaning so it’s low stress,” he says. “Within three days after we separate the pairs, there are only one or two still bellowing at each other. The calves are so content that they don’t care where they are.” At that age they are no longer so dependent on their mothers. “The calves learn from their mothers, regarding eating habits, etc. The longer you can keep them with their mothers, the better the calves will do,” he says. The Reisers have always run their heifers with the cow herd, because they want those calves to learn coping skills from their mothers — how to winter graze, how to graze through snow and where to go to get out of the wind. “They get some smarts from the cows,” Jay says. “In earlier years we used the nose-flap weaning, keeping the replacement heifers with their mothers. In previous years we sold the steers and the heifers we didn’t plan to keep, straight off the cows. We put nose flaps in the replacement heifer calves so they never had to leave their mothers’ side.” continued on page 56... Hereford.org

...Late Weaning continued from page 55

At that point the Reisers were only keeping about 30 heifers. Three years ago, however, they kept all of their calves through winter and decided to leave them on their mothers and do fenceline weaning. “We wanted to keep the calves on the cows longer, partly to allow the rumen to develop more fully before weaning,” Jay says. “We

heard Gerald Fry speak at the Northern Plains Sustainable Ag Winter Workshop at Aberdeen South Dakota in February of 2012. He mentioned research showing that it takes nearly ten months for the rumen to fully develop — to optimum potential for digesting forage. He thinks the beef industry is shortchanging

Following nature

The calf develops a more efficient rumen if he can nurse until he is about 10 months old, according to Gearld Fry, a stockman in Arkansas who has studied cattle nutrition and genetics for many years. “The cow’s butterfat — not the milk — is what enables the villi in the rumen to fully develop,” Fry says. “If the calf doesn’t get the butterfat for that full 10 months, he is inferior in his digestive ability to what his genetics would otherwise dictate. It is important for the cow to feed that calf for the first winter of its life. You cannot feed a supplement that can equal what the cow will give the calf; the dam’s milk is specifically designed for that calf. Young animals need proper nutrition at the right stage of their lives.” Mother Nature programmed cattle, like bison, to spend the first winter with their mothers. “You cannot winter a calf and do as much for him as what his mother can do,” he explains. “Even at the expense of the cow’s body condition, you are still better off to let her feed that calf. If she isn’t calving again until May or June, it doesn’t matter if she loses 200 to 300 lb. from her summer weight. If she has 45 days of green grass before she calves again, she will put on enough body condition to have a healthy calf and re-breed within about 85 days after calving.” There is not much nutrition in dead grass, especially tame pasture grasses, once the grass matures, dry outs or freezes. “Whether it’s stockpiled grass or hay, it still contains all its micronutrients but has very little actual energy,” Fry says. “It doesn’t take much energy, however, for a cow to produce butterfat; all she needs is adequate digestible fiber.” Her rumen creates energy during the breakdown of fiber. “In the lactating cow during dead of winter, most of what comes out of her udder is butterfat,” he explains. She is giving less volume than she would on green grass, but the quality is very high. “Another thing the average cattleman never thinks about is the protein in the milk,” Fry says. “In the beef cow the ratio is about 1 to 1. In other words, if 4% of her milk is butterfat, she needs to have about 4% of it to be protein. When her milk has that balance, it has all the makings for a calf to develop properly — the perfect diet for that calf.” Fry explains that today bison are the most closely related wild animal to cattle. “They have their babies in April, and breed back quickly,” he says. “Two cycles is all nature gives them. If they don’t get pregnant, they skip a calf. Their estrus cycles, along with the bulls’ testosterone production and peak fertility, is tied to season of year.” By contrast domestic cattle have been selectively bred for certain desired traits; they have been gradually changed for several thousand years, and will breed and calve year-round. “Cattle are ruminants with a 9-month gestation, like the bison. If we imitate nature and calve during April and May like the bison, and let the calf stay at mother’s side through winter, all she needs is 45 days to dry off and prepare for the next calf with adequate colostrum, and then breed back,” Fry says.

itself with early weaning and putting calves on grain.” Fry talked about optimizing genetics and management to produce the best grass-finished animal. “In a slide presentation he showed pictures of a rumen from an early weaned calf and from a calf weaned at 10 months, illustrating the difference between the two rumens in color and structure. “The micro-villi, microscopic protrusions on the cells of the rumen lining which increase the total surface size of the cell, were a lot more developed in the later rumen. With a stronger set of microvilli the animal is able to absorb more nutrients, more efficiently — whether from grain or forage. “After learning about this, we realized that weaning our calves early was not a good option if we wanted to raise them on grass or keep them as cows. They will be more efficient for harvesting grass and more able to convert it into meat by waiting longer to wean,” Krista says. Jay adds that the other reason for leaving the calves on the cows is that it was easier, saving time and labor. “We’ve always wanted to run just one herd though winter. Leaving calves on the cows was something we wanted to try, in our new program of keeping the calves over as grass calves. It made sense to do it this way.” Krista says it was easier to have one herd for feeding and to let the cows worry about the calves. “We didn’t have to treat any for sickness,” she says. “There was no stress on the calves and no stress on us. When we did the fence-line weaning in March the calves were ready to wean and the cows were ready to wean them.” Faulkner is cutting winter feed costs. “We are still running tractors but we’re doing a lot of bale grazing with the cattle, trying to reduce costs,” he says. “It all ties together with the later weaning. The calves are eating with the cows — whether bale grazing or pasture grazing — rather than waiting for the truck to bring feed out to them.” He says the calves are more motivated to find Hereford.org

their own feed and don’t become spoiled and lazy. “We want our cattle to be working for us, rather than us working for them,” Faulkner explains. “The biggest thing I’ve noticed about the later weaning is how much easier it is, with fewer problems and less sickness. There is a lot of expense, feeding silage or grain through winter. The corn was expensive to grow. We can use that same land to raise grass, maybe a higher quality grass, at less expense than the corn or grain.”

Less labor Krista says labor costs should always be considered. From a labor and time standpoint and the cost of fuel when taking feed to cattle in two groups, keeping calves on the cows may save money. There has been a lot of discussion over the years about whether it is better to wean calves and feed them separately or to keep them with the cow, and the best answer may depend on each rancher’s situation. She says the important thing is to weigh income and expense. If money can be saved on winter feeding costs and labor, it doesn’t matter if the calves are not gaining to full potential during winter. They make up for it on grass the next spring. In today’s world, a person may be better off with a little less gain at that point in a calf’s life and a lot less expense. Ken Miller has been bale grazing cow-calf pairs through winter for the past six years in south-central North Dakota. “Two of those years we had about 100 inches of snow, and it still worked fine,” he says. “I usually put a week’s worth of feed out there, and then move them to the next bunch of bales. I feed some high-quality hay along with some coarse hay,” he says. The cattle eat some of the poorer quality hay to add fiber to their diets to balance the good hay and trample and bed on the rest. This technique/method/practice puts more organic matter and carbon on the ground and improves the pasture. Hereford.org

“We are more than doubling the production,” Miller says. “Plus, we cut our winter feeding costs. The past six winters I have burned less than 100 gallons of diesel fuel in my tractor to feed 100 pairs. Some people think that when it is very cold the calves won’t perform very well, wintered with their mothers on hay, but they do quite well. We wean them in late March. Since we don’t calve until late May and early June the cows have adequate time to recover.” When the calves are weaned, Miller feeds them separately from the cows for about a month, still bale grazing. He trails the cows home, leaving several older cows with the calves. He then puts the calves back with the cows again so everything can be run as one herd. He’s found that by wintering calves with their mothers, there is less sickness. “We don’t give them any vaccines anymore,” Miller says. “We used to give pre-weaning shots, but we’ve eliminated all that. We do use a mineral program in the winter for a couple months, but that’s about the only supplementing.” The cattle graze as long as possible and then, when the grass gets covered with snow, they start bale grazing. “They are still on grass through December and into the first part of January. So we cut our actual feeding time. We used to feed around five months out of the

year, and now we are down to about four months of feeding, even in bad winters. One year we fed for only 90 days of full feeding,” he explains. “Calving in May/June limits a person to selling light calves if you are marketing them in November,” Miller says. “But if you leave them on the cows and run them on grass the next year and sell them in August or September they are a good weight and you don’t have much feed investment in that animal.” Miller used to calve in February and March, wean in late October and then background to sell in January and February at about 800 lb. “We had a lot of feed and fuel invested in them,” he says. “Usually August is a good month to sell because there are not very many calves being marketed then.”

Environment matters Wintering pairs together seems to be a new concept to many people, but it has been done for a long time in Australia and Africa. A person sometimes has to adapt ideas to fit his own conditions. Cody Sand is on a family ranch in south central North Dakota, running about 300 cows. The Sands had been wintering their cows on neighboring farmers’ cornstalks, but three years ago, they left most of the heifer calves on the cows through the winter. continued on page 58...

Tips for managing calves during winter Gearld Fry, a stockman in Arkansas, uses electric fence to creep feed calves in winter while they are on their mothers. “I take a bale of the best hay I have and set it in an area where I can let the calves get to it and the cows can’t,” Fry says. “This makes a major difference in development of the calf. He’s old enough to be ruminating well by that time.” Calves don’t need grain, but they do need good quality forage. “I use electric fence around a bale, but there are other ways to creep feed a calf without using grain,” he explains. “A stockman in New Hampshire has a 20-acre field of triticale and he lets his calves graze this in winter. Even though it gets bitterly cold in New Hampshire, he does very well leaving the calves on the cows. He gets a lot of growth on the triticale before freezing weather, and uses electric fence to keep the cows out. The calves go under that fence to graze the triticale all winter. It is incredible how good those calves look. They have their mothers, and good grazing — the best of both worlds.” Fry says cattlemen are in the business of selling grass, and when they let calves creep feed like that, they are selling grass through their growth. “A nursing calf that weighs 300-400 lb. doesn’t eat a lot, maybe 2 lb. of hay per day or 8 to 10 lb. of green forage, but it is incredible what it does for him.” HW

“Prior to that we were backgrounding our calves,” Sand says. “We weaned them on grass for a couple of years and that worked nicely but it necessitated a higher input than we wanted. So we left them on the cows all winter long. The first time we tried this with just with our replacement heifers — and it went very well.” The ranch is in the hills in good grass country, but there’s not much farm ground in this area. About 15 miles east the landscape changes to lower, flatter farming country. “We have a really good relationship with a farm family who used to have cows. They love having our cows around in the winter, and love seeing them go home in the spring so they don’t have to deal with cows the rest of the year,” he says. “We haul the cows 40 miles from our place to winter graze on cornstalks and it really works nicely. Three years ago we left the heifer calves with their mothers

/ November 2015

and they did very well. The cows lost body condition a little quicker, still nursing the calves, so we monitored them a little more closely and moved them more often to new cornfields. But the calves did excellent — much better than I thought they would. I was very happy with the way it went.” Sand says the calves looked better in the spring after being on their mothers than they did after going through winter on their own. “We didn’t get as much gain as in a feedlot situation, but we prefer them to develop as a heifer, to become cows,” he says. They need to maximize their ability to utilize forage, not grain. Wintering the calves with their mothers can be a very efficient, lowcost method, depending on calving dates. “Calving later, we went to not putting up hay anymore, and so far I haven’t had to buy any because we had carryover hay,” Sand says. “Some winters are really nice and we hardly

feed any hay, but when conditions are worse some supplemental feeding may be necessary.” He keeps steers on the cows through fall, selling them in November or December, depending on the weather. “If the weather is nice, especially on the corn stalks, they do really well at first, cleaning up any corn that might be on the ground in addition to the stalks,” he says. The cows breed back on time because they have enough chance to recover from lactation before calving again, and the replacement heifers do well, grazing all winter with their mothers. “They were never penned up and they know how to forage,” Sand says. “This makes better cows; they are more ambitious to travel around finding something to eat rather than waiting for a feed truck. They are working for us, rather than us working for them. We did that for way too long.” HW

Good News for Beef As today’s consumers want protein in their diets, the Beef Checkoff is giving them reason to choose beef. by Julie White

emember when eating nutritiously meant finishing those veggies on your plate? Or choosing a healthy option at the grocery store meant you sacrificed on taste, and your family probably will put up a fight when you try to serve it at dinner. John Lundeen, senior executive director of market research for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), remembers some of his first nutrition research conducted 20-plus years ago. He and other researchers talked to focus groups about goodtasting food that was nutritious, and the consumers wouldn’t “buy” it. In September, the Beef Checkoff invited media to Denver to share how nutrition research is proving beef has a place on the healthful plate — and things have changed. “Now the consumer wants it all,” Lundeen says. “They say ‘I want taste, I want nutrition and I want it in the same food.’ This is the biggest thing I’ve seen changed.” He notes that this type of food has been delivered to the marketplace to meet the basic change in consumer expectations — consumers don’t want to give up taste and nutrition. These consumers he spoke of are the Millennials (consumers ages 15 to 36), who are now 80 million strong. As health is gaining emphasis in food decisions, Lundeen says there is concern for the beef industry. “We ask consumers if they are eating more beef, less beef or about the same. When consumers who say they are eating less beef, it’s because of nutrition.” Lundeen says eating less red meat has been the dialogue for a long time in the U.S. “Beef has a dark cloud,” he describes. “Chicken has a nutritional halo.” Another shift in eating habits in the last five years, he says, is that a majority of consumers say they are trying to get

/ November 2015

more protein in their diets and protein listed on a label is important to them.

Beef’s role NCBA executive director of nutrition research Shalene McNeill who is a registered dietician and nutrition scientist, says their goal is to establish beef for health, or re-establish beef for health, in nutrition by investing checkoff dollars in nutrition research. “We still have a scientific community that can be open minded, but it’s also important to point out that we have a lot of nutrition research going on and a nutrition research environment that is very much active in the area of benefits of a plant-based diet,” McNeill says. “While there is good news about beef’s role in a healthy diet, there is a lot of research on the role a plantbased diet plays in health.” That’s the reason, she says, for the Beef Checkoff to continue to demonstrate and establish the role beef plays in food for health. “We want to help people build better diets with beef,” she says. “Consumers want taste and nutrition in the same packet. We know beef is one of the best-tasting nutritious foods out there, and we are committed to helping people enjoy beef as part of a healthy and balanced diet.” Since the 1920s, farmers and ranchers have funded hundreds of studies to help understand the role of beef in human nutrition. In 1984 “The Statement of

Principles Regarding Nutrition and Health” (see beefnutrition.org) was adopted by the beef industry. It lays out the industry’s commitment to using science as a foundation for nutrition research. Over the years research programs have evolved as questions changed according to the science of the time. “In the 1920-50s, we were still discovering vitamins and minerals,” McNeill says. “Meat was viewed as a nourishing food because it delivered iron, protein and zinc — these nutrients we knew people needed to grow and thrive.” In the 1940s the grain supply was enriched with iron, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. “These are nutrients found in meat and we were rationing for the war,” she says. “Everything was very much focused on getting enough nutrition.” McNeill says, as research evolved, scientists started to take on bigger nutrition-research questions like, “Why are so many men dying of heart disease?” and tackled ways to prevent chronic diseases. “That kind of nutrition research began to change the way we view beef’s role in health,” she says. “We’re in a good position from a market position to understand that the public is favorable and open minded, and they like the way beef tastes. They see the value beef plays nutritionally, but there will be more research over the coming years that can get that out of balance.” McNeill says that throughout the evolution of nutrition research, beef’s best nutritional proposition has continued to be its nutrient density. “Beef has high-quality protein, which means it includes all essential amino acids in the right proportions that the body needs to most optimally use them and it also has the key nutrients. It’s a lot more than just protein and iron. We want to understand this better.” HW Editor’s note: To learn more about Beef Checkoff funded nutrition research, visit BeefNutrition.org. Hereford.org
