World’s Perspective

Leading with Positivity

by Diane Meyer

When times are good, embrace the greatness. When times are tough, see the greatness on the horizon.

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

Fall marks an important time of year for the American Hereford Association (AHA). After spending the summer months traveling to events and conferences, the AHA staff regroups and focuses its efforts on planning the Annual Membership Meeting and Conference, which means reflecting on the closing fiscal year (FY). Although a smaller issue, the November Hereford World requires a team effort, as it includes the AHA Annual Report. Due to such a tough year for agriculture, I was a bit intimidated at the idea of reflecting back on the year. But as I started outlining the highlights of FY 2019, I realized the year was filled with some great accomplishments for the AHA.

Leading through innovation The 2019 calendar year kicked off with quality upgrades to the Certified Hereford Beef ® brand and MyHerd, followed by “The Brand” Marketing Summit, the launch of Herefords On Demand and a history-making Junior National Hereford Expo. All the while, staff continued to introduce and build on efforts to grow our database and prove the worth of Hereford genetics. The term “first-of-its-kind” was used repeatedly throughout the year to describe various projects the AHA has implemented. Thus, this year’s Annual Report and the Annual Membership Meeting and Conference depict how the AHA is “leading through innovation.” Turn to Page 49 to see the achievements of FY 2019 in review. Leading the Association through these innovations has been 2019 AHA President, Pete Atkins. A passionate Hereford breeder, Atkins understands the level of commitment it takes from the entire membership to keep the Hereford breed at the forefront of the beef industry. See Page 44 for a

| November 2019

reflection of his time serving on the AHA Board of Directors and his vision for the breed moving forward. Please join the AHA in thanking Atkins for his four years of leadership and service to the membership and for taking Team Hereford to new heights.

Leading the way into 2020 It is impossible to turn a blind eye to the hardships farmers and ranchers have faced this year. While affected in different ways by different markets, no one can argue it has been a rough go for agriculture. Yet through the bleakness, the ag community never fails to find a silver lining. Every story of things gone wrong is almost always guaranteed an ending of “but we’ll get through it” or “it could be worse.” Recently I stumbled across a quote I found fitting for this situation: “A great attitude becomes a great day, which becomes a great month, which becomes a great year, which becomes a great life.” Positivity is an admirable quality often mistaken for naiveness. Positivity is the difference between giving up and bearing down. Positivity allows each of us in agriculture to see every sunrise as a new opportunity. Positivity is the one thing in life I know I can control. As the sun sets on 2019, I hope all of you can find a reason to be optimistic for the coming year. As Atkins puts it, the Hereford breed has come a long way in the last 30 years, and that progress was made possible by remaining positive and passionate when others could not. The AHA thanks all of its members for their continued support and dedication to the breed. May your day be bright and your smile brighter.

Breed Focus

Taking a Proactive Approach

by Jack Ward

Despite an unforgiving year of nasty weather and poor markets, Hereford genetics remain a reliable option to withstand the tough times.

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

“Tough,” “challenging,” and “never seen before” are all words used by cattlemen and farmers to describe this past year. Mother Nature and the markets have been tough on ranchers. Normally, these two issues are not directly correlated, but it seems this has been a year unlike any other — or at least not in the lifetime of most ranchers. As I write this column, Mother Nature is throwing us a bit of a bone. The forecast is low 70s with sun, but the bookends of this weather pattern brought lots of rain on the frontend, and will bring rain and highs in the 40s by the week’s end. Combines are sitting in cornfields, and those who have done some harvesting have seen a big variation in yields. The markets have experienced some real variation over the past few months and, currently, there have been some rebounds and the seedstock Hereford sales this fall have really gotten off to a strong start with all things considered.

When the going gets tough In addition to markets and Mother Nature, lately it seems part of our society does not appreciate the need for ranchers. Impossible Burger and Beyond Burger are getting major publicity from the media. However, the facts about consumer demand for beef surely give us a reason to be optimistic as we face these challenges. The truth is we are producing more pounds of beef in the U.S. with fewer cows on inventory while the per capita consumption of beef in the U.S. has increased. Very strong scientific research confirms beef is a great option for high-quality protein and other nutrients needed to keep a body healthy. In addition, cattle are the best at sustainably, converting non-edible products to a truly nutritious product with little to no effect on the environment. The latest data show there are about 31 million beef cattle in the U.S., which

| November 2019

mostly occupy land with little to no value for any other business. In fiscal year (FY) 2018, the American Hereford Association (AHA) reported more than 121,000 cows on inventory. This was the largest inventory reported since the start of Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™), representing about 0.4% of the total cattle population and about 10% of the total cows on inventory amongst all beef breed associations. This information is significant because it represents the importance of the seedstock industry as it produces bulls for commercial cattlemen to make genetic improvement and to provide profitability for all sectors of the industry. Over the past few years, the AHA has been very active in providing realworld data which show the benefit of Hereford genetics in a crossbreeding program to increase profitability. In addition to adding profitability, the Hereford breed has the opportunity to add value in areas of convenience traits. In FY 2020, the AHA will introduce a new national ad campaign designed in collaboration with the Grant Company LLC, based in St. Joseph, Mo. The new national tagline will be “Come Home to Hereford.” Ads in this campaign will focus on the legendary benefits of Hereford genetics in cow herds while continuing to focus on areas of economic relevance for the industry. Please find the first of a series of ads scheduled to appear over the next year on this page. This one focuses on the docility of the Hereford breed and the maternal advantage the Hereford cow has in productivity in all environments because of her efficiency, longevity and fertility. When things are tough, the tough will always survive. Ranchers are tough and the AHA and its membership will continue to focus on making the industry profitable by keeping an eye on both input costs and outputs. Come home to Hereford. Hereford.org

Performance Matters Keeping Hereford Genetics Profitable by Shane Bedwell

The American Hereford Association (AHA) is working with leading researchers to identify genetic markers for eye pigment and its relationship to cosmetic disorders. The cool fall weather has hopefully found most of you by now, and it surely has delivered some much needed reprieve. I really enjoy this time of year as it typically is a perfect blend of crisp mornings and abundant sunshine. The combinations of harvest and weaned calf crops bring a certain satisfaction which is hard to replicate. It is also the final time before winter sets in to enjoy Mother Nature and the fruits of your labor.

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

| November 2019

I am excited about the progress being made within the breed and am certainly excited about a few of the projects going on in the area of breed improvement. The Hereford Feedout Program is about a month from starting, and the interest in this program has been great. I am looking forward to getting the cattle on feed and proving the value of Hereford genetics in the heart of feedlot country. A big thanks goes to HRC Feedlot and manager Lee Mayo for stepping up and agreeing to head up this program. I am confident this program will be a great validation and educational opportunity for all participants and believe this is just the beginning of utilizing feedlot trials to prove the merit of Hereford carcass quality. Additionally, the AHA has a very exciting research program started with David Riley, Ph.D., Texas A&M, and Dorian Garrick, Ph.D., Massey University, New Zealand, to identify genetic markers to predict eye pigment and its potential relationship to eye disorders. Previous research suggests markers may exist to assist in predicting an animalâ€™s eye pigment. The Olsen National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) herd is being used as the foundation for this research, as there is a plethora of knowledge of the pedigrees and phenotypic data on this herd. During the Whole Cow

Herd DNA project, the AHA made an investment to genotype the Olsen cow herd to strengthen the database and also to serve as a great foundation for similar research projects. More than 1,800 pictures were captured of the eye region of these cattle to use in research for identifying genetic markers for eye pigment and its relationship to cosmetic disorders. Along these lines, Jon Beever, Ph.D., who began his role as the director of genomics at the University of Tennessee this summer, is working with the AHA to continue his efforts in identifying genetic markers for prolapse and cancer eye. The good news when evaluating the last 10 years of disposal codes reported through Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPRâ„˘) is less than 1% of the 500,000 culled females were disposed of due to cancer eye or prolapse. Even better news is these females were eliminated from the genetic pool. However, in order to potentially identify genetic markers for these two cosmetic disorders in the future, we need the appropriate phenotype. So, in the future, if you have a female with one of these disorders, collect a blood sample in a purple top tube and take a picture of the issue before shipping her. Please send pictures along with corresponding registration numbers to me. The blood tube must be shipped on a cold ice pack to: Dr. Jon Beever, 352 Brehm Animal Science Bldg., 2506 River Dr., Knoxville, TN 37996. I want to stress cancer eye and prolapse are not unique to the Hereford breed! Still, keeping a firm grasp on these types of disorders is critically important to the future of the breed. Challenging ourselves to dig deep and to keep hammering down on the key aspects which make Hereford genetics profitable will pay major dividends for the breed. Hereford.org

Whole Herd TPR compliance deadline Dec. 1 is the final date to submit all dam reproductive status and weaning information for the spring calf crop. Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) is a system of registration and performance tracking whereby participating breeders update their cow herd inventory annually and are charged for performance data on a per cow basis as opposed to a per calf basis. Visit Hereford.org/member-services/whole-herd-tpr/ for more information.

Identifying genetic markers to predict eye pigment The AHA is collaborating with David Riley, Ph.D., Texas A&M, and Dorian Garrick, Ph.D., Massey University, New Zealand, to identify genetic markers to predict eye pigment and its potential relationship to eye disorders. Previous research suggests markers may exist that could assist in predicting an animal’s eye pigment. The first step to identifying these genetic markers is to collect data. Utilizing genotyped cows from the Olsen Ranch herd in Harrisburg, Neb., Riley and AHA staff members Shane Bedwell, chief operating officer and director of breed improvement, and Stacy Sanders, director of records, collected pictures and scored eye pigment levels on approximately 900 cows. “I want to ultimately be able to predict with high probability from a DNA sample that a given animal will produce progeny with eye pigmentation…” Riley says. “I am really happy to again be working with Dr. Dorian Garrick on a research project with tremendous potential for impact. There are multiple investigations that could branch off of our main effort here and I plan on pursuing all of them. The Olsen’s are great and I really appreciated spending a couple of days with them.” The researchers are now working to quantify the phenotypic data (eye pigment) collected with the pictures and, using the genotypes already on file, will be able to look for correlations in genetic markers and eye pigment. The goal is to identify markers with a high correlation to pigment. “Research projects like this are valuable for gaining better understanding of Hereford genetics,” Bedwell says. “With the importance of pigmentation to the breed, this is an important topic to research.” November 2019 |

Understanding Whole Herd TPR

by Laura Loschke

In order to obtain expected progeny differences (EPDs) on your animals, you must be a compliant member of the Whole Herd Total Preformance Records (TPR™) program. This is also referred to as being a performance breeder. Being a part of the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) Whole Herd TPR program means you must keep a current dam inventory for every year and calving season. Along with maintaining a current cow inventory, you must report a reproductive status for every dam maintained on the inventory. This means recording a calf out of the dam, or if she didn’t calve, marking the appropriate reason why she didn’t calve. Any calf recorded, registered or unregistered, must have a weaning weight or a disposal code recorded as well. These three items are a must in order to stay compliant with the Whole Herd TPR program. If you become noncompliant, EPDs will no longer be available on your animals. You have two years to get this information turned in. For example, the current season is fall 2019. Any information from fall 2017 and earlier must already be submitted or your account would be noncompliant. If you are a MyHerd user, your home screen helps keep you up-to-date on your Whole Herd TPR status by notifying you about any overdue information and upcoming deadlines. It is important to keep your account compliant. Letting your account become noncompliant not only affects your animals’ EPDs at that time but can affect the availability of their EPDs in the future. An animal registered by a noncompliant Whole Herd TPR member will not have EPDs after it has been transferred, to a nonperformance breeder or a nonmember. In order for an

| November 2019

animal to keep its EPDs after being transferred to a nonperformance breeder, it must be registered by a compliant Whole Herd TPR member. Keep in mind the EPDs will only be available for one transfer. If the animal is then transferred again to another nonperformance breeder the EPDs will not be available.

Whole Herd TPR FAQ:

Q: Can I enter birth weights for my calves even though they are not required? A: Yes, you can enter birth weights for your calves as well as the weaning weights. When entering birth weights, it is all or nothing. You must enter the birth weight for all calves in a calf crop, not just the ones you want. If a birth weight is not recorded for all the calves in the calf crop, the birth weight data cannot be used. The same goes for entering yearling weights. They are optional, but they must be recorded for all calves in order for the data to be used. Q: Why are my embryo transfer (ET) calves not showing on my “Incomplete” list on MyHerd for weaning information? A: Weaning weights are not required on ET calves. Therefore, your ET calves are automatically listed under the “Completed” tab. If you would like to record the weaning information for your ET calves, simply find them on the “Completed” list, select the calf, enter the weaning information in the boxes below and click “Update.” Q: Why do some of my animals have EPDs but not all of them? A: This result occurs because the animals with EPDs were registered by a compliant Whole Herd TPR breeder. The ones that

do not have EPDs were either registered by a noncompliant Whole Herd TPR breeder at the time the animals were registered or were registered by a nonWhole Herd TPR breeder. Q: Why do my calves not have ratios after I recorded their weights? A: The problem could be because your account is noncompliant or your calf crop hasn’t been analyzed. After entering any new weights or information, the calf crop must be analyzed to calculate this data. Q. How do I enter weaning weight information on a calf or calves I have purchased? A: If the calf or calves have already been transferred into your name, simply click the “Display Purchased Calves” button located toward the upper right portion of the screen once you are on the weaning weight screen for a particular year and season.

CHB Bites

Serving Up Certified Hereford Beef

by Kaylen Alexander

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

Certified Hereford Beef exhibits at US Foods® Food Fanatics Live The Certified Hereford Beef ® team took Dallas by storm at the 2019 Food Fanatics Live event hosted by US Foods®. The event showcases the premium quality and differentiation Certified Hereford Beef brings to food industry professionals and their establishments. Hosted this year in downtown Fort Worth, the Food Fanatics Live event centers on the love of food and inspiring business success. It is where restaurant owners and chefs can discover the latest and greatest trends on the food scene. The 2019 event brought US Foods® customers from all across the U.S. with a focus on the Oklahoma City, Dallas, Austin and Houston markets. “Food Fanatics Live put Certified Hereford Beef front and center with our customers,” says Michael Ploppert, US Foods® Dallas center-of-the-plate specialist. “The Certified Hereford Beef team was able to interact with over 1,000 people in a short six-hour period. The story of the local Hereford ranchers providing beef for our

fellow Texans to enjoy was a great selling point.” The Certified Hereford Beef team served attendees smoked CHB brisket, a Texas classic, which garnered rave reviews. “The taste of the Hereford beef was exceptional,” says Ploppert. “I am working with several customers on converting their beef business to CHB. Just about every customer I spoke with was very impressed that the Certified Hereford Beef CEO, Amari Seiferman, was in the Hereford beef booth. She was speaking with customers and telling the Hereford story. You don’t always see that from the CEO of a company.” Next up, US Foods® is headed south to celebrate the launch of the Certified Hereford Beef brand in the Austin market.

Certified Hereford Beef served at Montana CattleWomen’s Ranch Run As racers lined up at the starting line and awaited the shotgun start for the Montana CattleWomen’s Ranch Run, the cooking crew was firing up

the grill in anticipation of throwing Certified Hereford Beef tri-tip on the fire for the conclusion of the race. A juicy, delicious slice of CHB tri-tip met runners at the finish line after they weaved their way through the 25-mile relay race winding through the Castle Mountains in Lennep, Mont. According to Ranch Run crew member, Kari Marks, in its fifth year, the Montana CattleWomen’s annual Ranch Run is an adventure highlighting the ranching families and stewardship partners who benefit Montana in uncountable ways. “The race wound through three ranches and crossed leased public lands that have been managed by the same families for over 100 years,” Marks says. “The goal of the race is to showcase a wide variety of ecosystems and how animal agriculture can be used as a tool to improve the environment.” Seventy-eight runners and 15 walkers participated in this year’s event. “We would like to thank Certified Hereford Beef for supplying the beef tri-tip for the runners at the finish line,” Marks says. “The tri-tip was a huge hit! I had at least 15 runners tell me they will be back next year just because the beef was so delicious.” Certified Hereford Beef is a great source of protein to supply the body with the nutrients necessary to recover after extended physical exercise, including half of the daily recommended value of protein in each 3-oz. serving, as well as 10 essential vitamins and minerals.

Youth Movement

Thank You for Your Passion

by Montana Lawrence

Several weeks ago, I was talking with a livestock friend about what makes the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) so special. During our conversation, we discussed several aspects of the association, including the junior board, the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) and, most notably, the membership and their families. Over the past year, I have found myself gushing to many people about the amazing experiences the NJHA has given me and the amazing people I have come to know as family. Serving as a junior board member has changed the way I express my love for cattle and the way I interact with people. It has afforded me a level of freedom and confidence I was lacking in my younger years. Most of all, it has opened my eyes to the value of

sharing our unique passions with those around us. I am currently a senior at the University of Minnesota–Morris, where I am pursuing a double major in political science and studio art. In addition to my academic work, I participate on three collegiate-level athletic teams including cross country, swimming and diving, and track and field. However, if you asked any one of my friends what comes to mind when they think of me, they would probably chuckle and say Hereford cattle.

or seeing our quiz bowl teams studying intently before they enter the final buzzer round. It is one of the most wonderful things to see peewee members all dressed up to present their thoughts in the speech contest. Better yet is watching juniors of all ages work together in the team fitting contest to present a sharplooking heifer to the judge. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. What makes the NJHA so special is our members love what they do, and they love doing it together.

Share your passion

In this season of thankfulness, I want to take a minute to thank anyone and everyone who supports the NJHA. Please know your contribution is making a difference in the lives of so many. You are helping to build the next generation of passionate people through education, scholarship and competitive opportunity. I have no doubt the members of this association will go on to change the world in whatever avenue they choose. This will be the case because you saw the value in building them up while they were young. To the juniors, thank you for being the unique individuals you are and for always putting your best foot forward. Without each of you, the Hereford family would not be all it is today. This month, remember to thank all of the people who have supported you on your journey. Finally, stay passionate! It is easy as winter approaches to fall into the doldrums of the cold season and harsher weather. Take a minute — make a list of all the things you love about Hereford cattle and Hereford people. I guarantee once you start, you will not be able to stop.

You could say I am the resident cowgirl on campus. I take every opportunity to share my passion for agriculture and the Hereford breed with the people around me, even if they have no connection to agriculture. I believe sharing one’s passion is one of the most powerful ways to influence people. For those who do not understand the world of agriculture, a passionate farmer can change the way those individuals think about the food they consume. A passionate politician can move a group of people to initiate changes in their government. A passionate team member can encourage his or her teammates to aspire to new levels of athletic achievement. A passionate artist can present people with fresh perspective. As a passionate junior board member, I hope I can positively impact the way our junior members think about themselves and their own passions. The thing about passion is it is contagious and compelling. My very favorite thing about serving my fellow juniors is seeing the way they light up when they participate in contests that feed their unique talents. I love watching exceptional showmen as they enter the ring

Timeless Prints

“T IMELESS ” This Christmas

“Timeless” is an original pencil drawing by Dino Cornay which effortlessly depicts the permanent stamp the Hereford breed has placed on the beef industry. The drawing brings to life a horned and polled Hereford bull with a young calf, representing the generations of history and progress within the breed. The mesas and beautiful blue skies of Northeastern New Mexico are home to highly respected pencil artist, Dino Cornay. Cornay’s work has been recognized in numerous publications and he has participated in a variety of invitational shows. Most all of Cornay’s originals are spoken for by private collectors before completion, however, he is excited to partner with the AHA and the HYFA to offer these prints.

There are only 200 prints available, numbered and signed by Cornay. Once they are gone, no more will be available. This print will make a great gift for Hereford enthusiasts. This limited print is available for $150, including shipping and handling.

Communications Corner

Seizing Opportunities

by Hannah Johnson

This year has brought me a whirlwind of changes. Last spring, I graduated from the Ohio State University (OSU) and post-grad life was not what I expected. I did not have a job lined up upon graduation, which brought mixed emotions of uncertainty and stress. I spent the summer applying and interviewing for countless jobs, never really finding the right fit for me. When I stumbled upon the open communications position at the American Hereford Association (AHA), it struck my interest. As I read into the job description, I thought, “this would be a perfect fit for one of my best friends.” After I sent her the job information, she instantly questioned why I hadn’t

| November 2019

considered applying. At first, I doubted I was qualified. Then, with the moral support of my friends and family, I came to realize my past four years spent in college courses, participating in student organizations and taking full advantage of internships had prepared me for any career ahead. Fast forward through the interview process, accepting the new position and moving 10 hours from home, I frequently find myself reflecting on how I got here. So, how did I get here?

Pausing to reflect I look back and appreciate all of my past internship experiences, especially with the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association, the Ohio Beef Council and the Ohio FFA Foundation. Without the opportunities and strong network these organizations provided, I know I wouldn’t have been the right person for this job. These organizations gave me a strong start in the agricultural communications field and all the time I spent at trade shows, communicating with Ohio farmers and planning social media calendars has definitely paid off. I am grateful for the unique student organizations which OSU introduced me to. Not every communications student is exposed to a club set up as a public relations agency. I gained experience with real clients and created public relationship strategies and communication pieces that were actually implemented by those clients. I have a strong attachment for Ohio State, not only because of the

football team, but because I gained valuable, real-world experiences which prepared me for a future far beyond Columbus, Ohio. I am very fortunate I was raised in the livestock industry. I grew up showing cattle, goats and pigs alongside my brother and sister, and my grandparents raised cattle and goats. Being involved with livestock has not only given me knowledge of the industry but has instilled me with the values of hard work, responsibility and patience. I cannot remember a time when we did not have an animal in the barn and I thank my parents for that and for encouraging my love for agriculture. All of my past experiences have played a large part in how I got here. Every task I was given, project assigned and chore completed helped me find a great fit in Kansas City with the AHA. Looking back, I never thought I would move so far from home to start a career, but the recent change of scenery and nature of this position has transformed my feelings of uncertainty and stress into excitement and gratitude. I joined the AHA staff in September and the past two months have flown by. I was welcomed to the team with open arms and felt like part of the family very quickly. I would like to thank my coworkers for a great start to my new career. I look forward to the opportunities to come and, most importantly, look forward to serving the AHA membership.

Maximum Value from Your Land

How to get the

by Shelia Grobosky

armers and ranchers are the original stewards of the land, and with good reason. For centuries, these agriculturalists have provided their own families, the country and the world with safe and nutritious food as a result of caring for the land. For many it is a passion passed down from one generation to the next; however, it is also part of the investment in their livelihood. “A pasture resource is the single largest investment that a beef producer is ever going to make, whether it is leased land or deeded land,” says KC Olson, Ph.D., professor of range beef cattle nutrition and management at Kansas State University. Caring for pastureland is vital, not only because it is an important investment, but also to ensure the cattle have the resources available to them. Cow-calf producers and backgrounders rely heavily on native forages late spring through early fall to turn their cattle on, and the better care and management of the land, the better the land will take care of the cattle.

| November 2019

Understanding the challenges Olson says two major challenges exist in range management: overstocking and under-resting. By definition, overstocking is simply putting too many animals on a given amount of land area for a given length of time. Under-resting occurs when animals are allowed to return to a pasture or paddock before adequate forage regrowth has occurred and is a bigger challenge than overstocking. To better understand how many animals a particular piece of land can hold for grazing for a particular time, producers need to first understand two very important terms — stocking rate and carrying capacity. According to Olson, carrying capacity is what is possible; stocking rate is what is actual. Stocking rate is defined as animal intake potential per unit of area per unit of time. It is calculated by a fairly simple formula. You must know three facts to calculate your stocking rate — how much forage biomass is produced on an annual basis, what percent of that forage

biomass is edible, and how much an animal unit (AU) is going to consume during a grazing bout of specified length. Olson provides some long-used assumptions to help in the calculations. He says the AU is assumed to be 1,000 pounds, originally based on the body weight of a mature cow. Although not many cows weigh 1,000 pounds anymore, take your total estimated pasture group weight and divide by 1,000, and you will have your number of AU. Example: 20 cows at about 1,200 pounds each with 20 calves that weigh 450 pounds each. Total weight per pair is: 1,650 pounds. 20 pairs × 1,650 = 33,000 33,000/1,000 = 33 AU Olson says it is assumed the typical 1,000-pound animal unit will consume about 26 pounds of forage dry matter per day, so using the same example, 33 × 26 = 858 pounds of forage needed per day. Olson cautions cattle managers to remember leaving some residual biomass behind following grazing is critical to rangeland health. Hereford.org

Covering bare soil

Historically, about 50% of annual forage production can be removed through grazing. The remainder should be left behind to allow plants enough photosynthetic area to replace root carbohydrate reserves and to allow normal plant growth in subsequent growing seasons. Carrying capacity, on the other hand, has some elasticity. It is the maximum stocking rate you can maintain without driving an undesirable compositional shift in forage plants on your pasture resource. “A farmer or rancher who spends time thinking about carrying capacity is doing the most valuable, most important job on the ranch,” Olson says. “This is an exercise that is all about sustainably leveraging a ranch’s most valuable resource for greater levels of income. For example, the more we do to get rid of bare soil, the more that we do to stimulate forage growth, the more that we do to control animal distribution across a given grazing resource, the greater our carrying capacity becomes.”

Hereford.org

Several solutions do exist for pasture management to allow producers to get the most value from their forages. Olson says the first step producers should take is to get rid of bare soil where cattle congregate, where cattle are thermally comfortable, such as where they are exposed to breeze in the summer time, where they can seek shade or where they can be near water or mineral or some other feedstuff. “Where cattle congregate, they can expose soil,” Olson says. “That’s obvious. But there are things we tend to overlook that can be even more devastating. Cattle travel in habitual paths; it’s real common to see a trail in a pasture, and that represents bare soil. It also represents a perfect channel for water that’s moving with some velocity to flow and create soil loss. It’s actually very simple in most climates to get those trailed areas to revegetate to get those areas where cattle congregate and create localized over grazing areas. It takes a little bit of electric fence and a little bit of patience.” He suggests during the growing season is the best time to fence off some of the travel paths and other areas where cattle are comfortable for protection, and those bare soil areas will tend to revegetate fairly quickly.

Other solutions for lazy bovine He further reminds beef cattle can be lazy and will stay in areas where they are comfortable or where preferred plants grow. That is why cross-fencing, time-controlled grazing and varied placement of water, mineral, or supplements can be an important tool for improving range and pasture health. “There is an old dogmatic adage in range management: ‘take half and leave half.’ The half you take gets converted to high-quality protein for human consumption; the half you leave is left behind to maintain soil health, to allow the plant to continue to photosynthesize and regrow, and to maximize its storage of carbohydrates. That is

what keeps the plant healthy,” Olson says. “When you use cross-fencing and timed-controlled grazing, your ‘take half, leave half’ paradigm can safely become ‘take 60%, leave 40%’ because you’re building in rest for plants during the course of the grazing season. That is one key way to leverage your grazing resources for greater carrying capacity.” There are simple things you can do to motivate animals to move to new unexplored areas. In addition to cross-fencing, you can do it with water development, placing water in points and areas that are underutilized by cattle. You can vary the placement of the mineral feeder or any supplement you might be offering. When you move those things around, you motivate cattle to move around and change grazing distribution. If you own or lease pastureland with a secure perimeter fence and established water sources, additional labor and equipment cost to establish electric cross-fencing and allow periodic rest for forage plants can result, after a few years, in the chance to safely and sustainably increase stocking rates. “As a beef producer, I love to see the slow subtle change in my grasslands with the seasons,” Olson says. “I get great joy out of checking fences, checking water, looking at my cattle, looking at my grass. That’s what the job pays me in personal satisfaction. It would be hard for me to put a dollar value on the time I spend doing those things.” Taking care of the land so it can care for your livestock seems pretty simple. Don’t overstock or under-rest it. Follow the advice of Olson and that same land your grandfather ran his cattle on will be there for future generations.

Soil Health Is the Foundation Avoid getting lost in the weeds by understanding the fundamentals of pasture management. by Troy Smith

ome Nebraskans refer to their state’s southwestern cluster of counties as the “banana belt,” claiming its winters are mild compared to other parts of the state. While maybe true, natives of the region believe they receive their fair share of cold temperatures, snow and wind — perhaps more than their share of wind. The winters are bad enough many cow-calf producers typically plan on feeding plenty of hay or other harvested feed. Hitchcock County rancher Jacob Miller is atypical because he seldom hauls feed to his cows. Miller, whose family’s 7M Ranch is located near the village of Culbertson, plans to

have cows grazing standing forage throughout the year, even during the winter. With 365-day grazing, the goal is that the land produces large volumes of forage. This requires healthy soils which Miller promotes through savvy grazing management.

A healthy base “Soil health really is the foundation of civilizations — and the fall. Civilizations have failed when their soils became degraded,” says United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service soil scientist Virginia Jin, citing the collapse of ancient Egyptian and Grecian societies as examples.

But what is soil health? According to Jin, soil health and soil quality are often used interchangeably to describe soil’s ability to function as a living system. Indicators of soil health fit within three major categories: 1) physical properties such as bulk density and texture 2) chemical properties including relative acidity/alkalinity (pH) and nutrient availability 3) biological properties that include soil microbial biomass, soil respiration and enzyme activities “Almost every soil health aspect falls under the overarching influence of soil organic matter,” Jin says. “Management practices aimed at enhancing soil organic matter often benefit overall soil physical, chemical and biological aspects.” Considerable research involving many different types of plant

communities shows species diversity promotes soil health, increased fertility and greater productivity. Plant communities consisting of rich mixtures of perennial grasses, tap-rooted forbs, nitrogen-fixing legumes and shrubs contribute a wide variety of residues to the soil, which feed microorganisms responsible for residue decomposition. Along with providing nutrients to growing plants, the decomposing residues provide stable organic matter that contributes to soil structure and water-holding capacity. In contrast, pastures dominated by a single species — monoculture — either by seeding or by invasion of a weedy species like cheatgrass tend to have more shallow soils with less biological activity and lower productivity. Miller’s ranching experience illustrates how grazing management has a regenerative effect on soil health, forage production and the resilience of the range. It started with a shift from more traditional season-long grazing of rangeland pastures to intensively managed rotational grazing with high-stock density. “We started cross-fencing and adding water infrastructure to allow for a rotational system,” Miller explains. “We went from eight pastures to 32 paddocks. It’ll soon be 38, with the addition of some land coming out of CRP [Conservation Reserve Program].” Miller employed high-stock density, grazing a relatively high number of cattle but rotating them through the system of paddocks in relatively rapid succession. Highstock density has afforded more

…having fairly high-quality grazing in the winter has allowed us to reduce protein supplementation of the cows. — Jacob Miller uniform grazing of available forage and beneficial animal impact. The animals deposit manure and urine and their hoof action tramples plant residues, hastening decomposition. Following its short exposure to grazing, each paddock then receives a long period of rest and recovery — at least 75 days but sometimes up to 100 days of rest during the growing season. “It depends,” says Miller, explaining how weather conditions — especially precipitation - and plant regrowth influence such decisions but rest periods are always long. As a result of changed range management, the range has gained greater diversity of plant life and a particularly desirable increase in the presence of native, deep-rooted perennial grass species capable of competing with “weedy” annuals. And instead of a more traditional five to 5½-month summer grazing season, the Miller’s cow herd’s typical time on the range increased to about eight months, from early April through the end of November.

Cover crop advantage Historically, the ranch also produced cash crops, including wheat, corn and soybeans, but those changed, too. No cash crops are produced, but every acre grows some kind of forage that cattle harvest by grazing. Spring-planted mixtures of cover crops include species such as oats, peas, barley, rapeseed, yellow clover and alfalfa.

Summer mixtures combining brown midrib forage sorghum, sunn hemp, cowpeas, sunflowers, turnips and radishes are stockpiled for winter grazing. And a fallplanted mixture of rye and hairy vetch has provided grazing in the very early spring. “But, it’s the winter stockpile of forages that are the heart of 365day grazing,” states Miller. “Not only do we rarely feed hay, having fairly high-quality grazing in the winter has allowed us to reduce protein supplementation of the cows.” The cover crops aren’t utilized solely by the cow herd. Miller emphasizes that moving to yearround grazing required a systems approach, so some other changes were required. Calving season was moved to late spring to reduce nutrient requirements of cows during the winter and to have them on green forage before and during calving. Cow numbers were reduced from 600 to 375 head, and instead of marketing in the fall, calves are now held over as yearlings that will summer-graze cover crops. “Our calves aren’t as heavy at weaning. Winter gains are modest, but they do grow,” says Miller. “And then we get cheap compensatory gain in the spring and summer, all from grazing.” Miller says growing cover crops benefits soil health on the crop ground by maintaining ground cover, promoting water infiltration continued on page 34...

Incorporating cover crops, such as annual ryegrass, into crop rotations helps control weeds and pests, mitigates tillage harm and provides high-quality forage.

and reducing erosion. Having living roots in the soil throughout much of the year fosters increased biological activity. Grazing cover crop forage with cattle affords the same soil building benefits seen on the range by adding nutrients in animal waste and trampling plant litter. Like Miller, Jerry and Cindy Glaser are more than a little interested in soil health. The Glasers consider the flora and fauna living within the soil to be just as important as any plants and animals they can see above ground. They also rely on permanent pasture managed under a rotational system that allows for short periods of grazing followed by long periods of rest. Their grazing management has improved soil health, made the range more resilient and improved forage production and utilization. But, the Glaser operation, near Spalding, Neb., is quite different from Miller’s ranch because the Glasers raise organically grown food crops including popcorn, yellow corn and edible beans, as well as grass-finished beef. They also raise cover crops and grasslegume mixtures on their irrigated cropland as part of a planned crop rotation. Jerry Glaser also cites erosion control, better soil structure, increased organic matter and improved water infiltration as benefits that are further enhanced when cover crop acreage is grazed by cattle.

However, while Miller can use no-till methods, Glaser says organically grown crops require tillage instead of herbicide for weed control. Crop rotations incorporating cover crops also help control weeds and plant pests, as well as to mitigate the negative effects tillage has on soil. They also serve as high-quality forage for Glaser cattle. Cattle harvest some of it, extending the grazing season, but some is harvested for winter feed.

Doubling up Cover crops also provide an opportunity for harvesting two crops from the same field during the same year. As an example, Glaser explains how a cover crop mixture, such as forage turnips and annual ryegrass, can be interseeded into a standing cash crop of popcorn. After harvesting the popcorn, cattle are allowed to graze the residue along with the cover crop. Another example of doublecropping involves spring planting a mixture of oats and peas, which can be hayed or grazed prior to the time black beans are planted for a summer cash crop. So, the appropriate cover crop mixtures can be used to provide grazing resources at either end of the traditional grazing season, thus extending the total time cattle spend grazing. The Glasers do not graze yearround. However, harvested feeds are needed for the cow herd during

the dead of winter, and finishing cattle without grain requires a highquality forage source be available during months when green, growing forage is unavailable. These needs are satisfied with round bale silage made from a legume-grass hay crop that is windrowed, baled at 40 to 60% moisture content and ensiled by wrapping each bale in a plastic covering. The main benefit is, usually, hay can be cut one day, then baled and wrapped the next day. Occasionally, if conditions are just right, hay can be cut, baled and wrapped on the same day. Either way, this harvesting method eliminates much of the frustration experienced when weather isn’t conducive to cutting, curing and baling hay in the traditional way. “Ensiling bales gets hay off the field faster and maintains nutrient value,” Glaser says. “We typically take two or three cuttings in this way, with cattle brought in to graze the last cutting.” “Bales are stored at the edge of the field until cattle are brought back to graze that field’s standing forage and the bales,” Glaser says. “Feeding bales on the same field where that hay was grown puts nutrients right back into the soil.” When feeding bales in the field, they are placed on a flat end so plastic wraps can be cut and easily removed. Electric fence is used to limit cattle’s access to just part of the bales, much like strip grazing, and the fence is moved as needed. Typically, bales are placed in areas of a field that will benefit most when whatever amount of hay gets trampled is incorporated into the soil with cattle waste, putting nutrients into the ground, Glaser adds. “The microbes living in the soil are the most important livestock we raise,” insists Glaser. “They unlock minerals and break down other nutrients in the soil and make them available to plants. We’ve got to feed the soil microbes to have healthy soils. And without healthy soils, we couldn’t survive.”

A groundbreaking, genetically verified female program for the commercial beef industry. Qualifications

Benefits

Premium Red Baldy is a female-only program, capitalizing on hybrid vigor. No steers will be tagged in this non-PVP tagging program.

Premium Red Baldy is a tagging program designed to take advantage of hybrid vigor by maximizing the best traits of both Red Angus and Hereford and providing commercial producers with premium replacement females.

To qualify for Premium Red Baldy, females must be sired by bulls in the top 50% of the breed for Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) or Herdbuilder Index (HB). Breed percentages on qualified females will range from 25%-75% Red Angus and Hereford, with a small allowance for other breeds. Females must be red-bodied with either a bald or brockle face. No black-hided cattle will be admitted, regardless of genetic makeup.

Please contact your respective breed representative for more information.

The program will help producers access genetically verified females that have the best combination of longevity, fertility and adaptability to incorporate into producersâ€™ herds. As the nationâ€™s cow herd expands to meet beef demand, Premium Red Baldy females will rise to the challenges of producing more beef sustainably and profitably, without sacrificing quality. The Premium Red Baldy program has the ideal balance of maternal and carcass traits, which will yield cattle poised to increase the profitability of the commercial producer. Premium Red Baldy uses genetics supported by the only two beef breed associations backed by whole herd reporting.

e was the American League’s Most Valuable Player, a seven-time All Star and Rookie of the Year. As team captain, he led the New York Yankees from behind the plate to back-to-back World Series championships in ’77 and ’78. He was considered the team’s heart and soul. Munson was also named champion junior bull calf in Denver. The beloved New York Yankees catcher, Thurman Munson, once told a reporter, “The catcher is the most important man in the game. … He directs the pitchers and calls the game for them. He must know the capabilities and weaknesses of each batter who comes to the plate. He also acts as kind of a field general because from his position he can oversee the entire field. Even more, he has the important duty of protecting home plate as the runner comes tearing in to try to score.” Amidst a sea of cowboy hats, an unmistakable tanned ball cap with “NY” stitched in blue across the front and a gold “No. 15” pendant pinned on the right has stood out at Hereford events across the country and noticeably more so since 2015. The brimming smile beneath the hat bill unmistakably belongs to respected Hereford breeder, Pete Atkins. With a passion for the Hereford breed rivaled only by his love for his family, the Yankees and Thurman Munson, Pete has led Team Hereford as the 2019 American Hereford Association (AHA) president, representing South Dakota, the Northwest region and breeders across the country. Much like Munson’s responsibilities behind home plate, Pete has spent his tenure on the Board overseeing the AHA and doing his best to make sure the breed is positioned for longevity in the decades to come. “It doesn’t matter if you’re somebody with 1,000 cows or you’re a breeder with 20 cows, everybody’s important,” Pete says. “Everyone can play a role and can have a positive impact on the breed and on the perception of the breed in their area by being involved, raising good cattle, standing behind your cattle and representing the breed.”

Retiring 2019 AHA President Pete Atkins, Tea, S.D., shares his view of the field as the captain behind home plate. by Diane Meyer

| November 2019

Munson 15 Growing up in Tea, S.D., Pete watched his childhood hero, Thurman Munson, and raised Hereford cattle alongside his father, Alvin. Naturally, those two passions had a way of overlapping over the years. For those that know Pete, it came as no surprise when he named a few animals after his favorite professional baseball team. It started with a bull named Yankee, a son of Violet, who is also the dam of Cracker Jack, sire of numerous national champions and the most famous bull bred by Atkins Herefords to date. At the time, Yankee was one of Atkins Herefords best bulls, winning his class at the 2007 National Western Stock Show, the first year the family showed in Denver with their partner Delaney Herefords. Then, Hereford.org

Pete and Laura raised their three sons — Scott, Craig (pictured) and Paul — in this farmhouse in Tea, S.D., where his mother was born in 1922. Today, this piece of farmland is home to Atkins Herefords, a registered seedstock operation with a base herd of 30 cows.

a few years ago, Pete found himself with a bull calf worthy of the name he held in highest regard. “I gave him the number 15, because that was Munson’s number,” Pete says. “So he was Munson 15. We get him to Denver and I’m all excited because people who know me know I’m a Yankee fan and know who Munson was. “One of the first guys to come up to me says, ‘Best name ever. I love that movie.’ I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ He said, ‘Well, that’s Munson from the Kingpin movie — the bowler, right?’” Although disappointed the reference was not understood, Pete was not disappointed with his bull’s performance in Denver. Munson went on to win champion junior bull calf and sold as Lot 8 in the Mile High Night Sale. Pete has always had a soft spot for showing in Denver since 1973 when he walked through the “Yards” for the first time with his dad. A year later, the father-son team were back and bought a herd bull private treaty from Clarence Busse & Sons from Kansas. A few years before that memorable purchase, the Atkins family had moved back to the farm Pete still calls home, where his mother’s family had lived since the early 1900s, and bought their first set of registered Hereford heifers for a 4-H project. In the coming years, they purchased cattle from Bar JZ Polled Herefords, Chester Gullickson and other area breeders, laying the genetic foundation for a 100-head cow herd. From the get-go, Pete and Alvin utilized performance testing and tracked performance trends. In his home office, Pete still has graphs of weaning weights dating back to ’75. “I’ve always liked the idea of thinking about breeding plans, looking at genetics and analyzing matings, looking at what if we bred this to this,” Pete says. Looking back at trends over the last 40 plus years, Pete notes how rewarding it is to see breeders who stuck out the hard years making progress and finding success in their breeding programs. “If you raised Herefords in the ’70s and still have them Hereford.org

Pete and his father, Alvin, purchased their first set of registered Hereford heifers in 1971 for a 4-H project, marking the start of his lifetime devotion to the breed.

now, you were passionate about the breed” he says. “Like many others, we had Herefords through some tough years when it wasn’t the cool thing to do. In college I was known as the Hereford guy and it was not always said complimentary.” A lot has changed since he first started in the Hereford business; breeders have access to more tools and information than ever. But when making breeding decisions, Pete still reverts to guidelines his dad taught him in the ’70s. “First they have to have the basics,” he explains. “When I say basics I continued on page 46... November 2019 |

Both Pete and Laura’s favorite memories from Pete’s time on the AHA Board are the opportunities to meet Hereford breeders from across the country and getting to know the other Board members and their families.

mean feet and legs, mobility and udder are at the top. Part of that goes back to my dad, he milked cows for years. He would say, ‘We don’t milk our stock cows. We don’t trim feet on stock cows.” Shortly after college, Pete married his wife, Laura and they lived in Huron, S.D., where Pete started his first job in banking. One day, Pete received a visit from American Polled Hereford Association (APHA) fieldman Dennis Schock. Pete recalls, “[Dennis] said, ‘I’m taking a job to manage a ranch in Texas and they’re going to be looking for somebody. Would you be interested?’” For four years, Pete traveled across the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, eastern Montana, Manitoba and Saskatchewan as an APHA fieldman. “Back then we would get a paper printout of who registered calves in our area. I would go through the road atlas and mark the location of breeders in my area to plan herd visits.” With two young boys at the time, 175 nights a year in a hotel soon became hard to justify. Pete

resumed work for an agricultural finance company, and the family relocated to Spencer, Iowa. Back home, his dad was transitioning to retirement, which led to the start of a 30-years-and-counting partnership with Jack and Jerry Delaney from Lake Benton, Minn. The Atkins’ ran cows on shares with the Delaney herd in Minnesota beginning in 1987, and in 1991 Pete and Laura bought the Atkins’ family farm from his parents and moved home. “At the time there was no buildings here except the house. So we put up the barn and got the cows back home in ’93,” Pete recalls. They started their first embryo transfer (ET) work in 2006 with the Delaneys, and now have an annual online sale in the fall and a bull and female sale at the end of January hosted at the Delaneys Minnesota ranch. Although Pete admits no partnership is “rosy” all the time, the Atkins-Delaney partnership has stood the test of time, and for good reason. “A good partnership has got to work for everybody,” he affirms. “When people talk about doing something together, it’s easy to get self-centered. But it’s got to work for everybody, and both partners have to understand that.” “Not only that, you have to have a partner you complement,” Laura adds. “Jerry and Pete have different personalities and different skills and complement each other well.” Nodding in agreement, Pete continues, “Again, whether you’re large or small, working together with people to leverage talents, resources, genetics and ability is vital. Working with somebody like the Delaneys has allowed us to do things we never would have, and I like to think that us working with them has given them some opportunities as well.” When Pete decided to run for the AHA Board of Directors, his perspective on compatible partnerships influenced his leadership style and vision for the future of the breed.

2015 The first time Pete ran for a spot on the Board in 2014, he came home to Tea empty-handed. As he fondly recounts, his mom, Marguerite, was quick to point out, “Well, those people, they obviously don’t know a thing.” After telling that story in his 2015 election speech, Pete found himself on the Board alongside Jim Bellis, Aurora, Mo., and Kyle Pérez, Nara Visa, N.M. — moms know best, after all. Knowing the importance of making decisions for the betterment of the team, Pete offered suggestions he felt would benefit the entire membership on each committee where he served. “You have to run for the Board for the right reason,” he emphasizes. “It’s not for self-advancement or to promote yourself or to try to express your personal ideals. It’s to try to use your judgment to do what you think is best for the breed and for all of the breeders.” Hereford.org

Pete was appointed vice president and assumed his role as president in 2019 to mark his final year on the Board. As the AHA president, Pete says one of his biggest responsibilities is listening to feedback from breeders and staying informed by the AHA staff. “The one thing that has really stuck with being on the Board these four years is how much there is going on with our association,” he says. “Whether it’s the editorial staff, record staff, or any department, it’s very busy. Unless you’re involved in it, it’s hard to appreciate how many things are going on every day.” Despite all of the meetings, phone calls and traveling, both Pete and Laura have thoroughly enjoyed their experience and are thankful for the new friendships and the opportunities they had to meet great people from all over the country. As for his favorite part of being on the Board, Pete says, “That’s easy — it’s getting to know the other board members,” adding, “I wish I had more time to get to more places.” Although Pete’s time as president came to an end in late October, his vision for the breed is unwavering. He feels strongly about opportunities on which Team Hereford needs to capitalize in the near future to remain strong and to grow.

Protecting home plate If there is one thing Pete has learned from his lifetime raising Herefords and spending 22 years in agricultural finance, it is to have a goal. “Know what your end game is,” he says. “Have a plan for what you’re going to do. Visit customers. Talk to breeders. Talk about the cattle, listen, learn and have a goal.” As for his goal for the breed, he points to the black cows making up the majority of cow herds across the country. “That’s where our biggest opportunity is,” he says. “We have begun to make progress and I see many more Hereford bulls running with black cows than I did in the past but we have barely scratched the surface of an enormous opportunity. “We can continue to grow this opportunity if we produce the right cattle, if we service our customers, if we’re providing those customers what they need for bulls,” he continues. “I believe that with all my heart.” Seizing that opportunity will take a collaborative effort from the entire membership. With so many newcomers to the breed, Pete emphasizes it is important to continue to be welcoming and to not look at other Hereford breeders as competitors but as part of the team. “I have been talking about Team Hereford for a long time,” he says. “A vital cog in Team Hereford is the staff. But Team Hereford is everybody. We all represent the breed. As breeders we are the face of Hereford.org

Pete and Laura have two sons who live in Twin Cities, Minn. Pictured (l, top to bottom) are Paul, Theodore and Sarah; and (r, top to bottom) Scott, George, Sarah and Isla.

the breed. The support the Hereford Association staff can give us is phenomenal, but that doesn’t amount to anything if as breeders we aren’t Team Hereford and we aren’t out there promoting our product, standing behind it and doing our job.” As Hereford breeders, Pete says the job starts with spreading the word. Strengths he hears all the time are how easy it is to work with Hereford cattle and how their whitefaced calves are the heaviest. Often times, these comments come from individuals whose grandpa used to run Herefords, and they are reintroducing Hereford genetics into their herds because of the breed’s efficiency, quality and disposition. To maintain progress in the breed, Pete mentions a lesson he learned from some top breeders during his time as an APHA fieldman. “The one thing they had in common was they were very unforgiving of their cattle,” he says. “They were their own worst critics and never made excuses for their cattle, that’s always stuck with me. Breeders today have more tools and technology than ever to help them evaluate their cattle. But they still need to be stockmen, they still need to look at their cattle. I feel very strongly about that.”

Retiring 15 Newsday writer Mark Herrmann once described Thurman Munson as “the bridge from the old Yankees and refurbished Stadium to the new.” Similar to his idol’s legacy, Pete hopes his time on the Board has helped unite the AHA membership to advance the breed as a team. “I wanted to use my best judgment to make decisions and provide input for what I thought continued on page 48... November 2019 |

...15 continued from page 47

was best for the breed,” he reflects. “That’s how I’ve approached it and tried to do it, I’ve always done what I thought was for the best for the breed overall.” While the NY Yankees hat with the No. 15 pendant will not be making as many appearances at Hereford events as it has the past four years, it is not getting hung up anytime soon. “I’m honored and extremely, extremely humbled to have been on the Board,” Pete pauses and takes a deep

Pete may have retired from the Board Oct. 26., but he will always focus on improving the breed. “I have a passion for the breed and the people in the breed, and I hope I can contribute in a small way to keep our momentum going.”

I’d like to be remembered as somebody who raises good cattle and to show other people that regardless of the size of your herd you can have success. — Pete Atkins breath. “In 1973 my Dad took me to the stock show in Denver to see the Herefords. We were at the Hereford sale and I was in awe, and he said, ‘You keep it up. You work hard and you could be in here someday. You could show cattle here and sell cattle here.’ “I’d like to thank him for letting me have the reins, and say he was right,” Pete says. “If you are determined and you work hard and you work smart, you can do it.” Over the years Pete’s wife, Laura, and their three sons, Scott, Craig, and Paul, have always been there to help on the farm and to provide support wherever needed. Pete also thanks his mom for encouraging him to pursue his dreams. “Why am I proud to be a Hereford breeder?” he reiterates with a brimming smile. “That’s the simplest question ever: It’s the greatest breed there is and I am proud and blessed to be a part of it. I’d like to be remembered as somebody who raises good cattle and to show other people that regardless of the size of your herd you can have success.”

Leading Through Innovation

2019 AHA ANNUAL REPORT

Innovation Through Strategy A Year of Innovation In business, innovation often results when a company applies ideas to further satisfy the needs and expectation of its customers. The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors and staff continue to pursue innovation, and in fiscal year (FY) 2019, many of these efforts came to fruition. Early in 2019, an updated version of the online registry system MyHerd was released with more efficient, user-friendly and mobilefriendly functions. In FY 2019 more than 80% of the AHA’s registrations were submitted on mobile platforms — the majority of which came through MyHerd. This real-time system is one of a kind in the livestock industry and gives breeders the opportunity to register and to transfer cattle, to submit performance data and to request DNA 24/7. Through the spring of 2019, the AHA staff worked with Theta Solutions and leaders from the Uruguay and Argentina Hereford associations to relaunch the Pan-American Cattle Evaluation (PACE). The first set of expected progeny differences (EPDs) from this evaluation was released this summer, allowing breeders from both North and South America to search and to compare animals directly across continents. The AHA is committed to maintaining the best genetic evaluation in the industry, which starts with the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program. The AHA continued to strengthen its evaluation, and currently has more than 10,000 actual carcass measurements, nearly 7,500 individual feed intake records and more than 90,000 genotypes on record. In June, the AHA hosted “The Brand” Marketing Summit to provide tools for breeders to develop a stronger marketing strategy. With more than 200 attendees from across the U.S. and Canada, participants representing multiple breeds learned how to better advocate their personal brand and the Hereford breed. To continue the momentum of this event, a marketing fitness challenge was developed to encourage attendees to continue improving the marketing component of their operations. During the Marketing Summit, the new online sale catalog platform, Herefords On

Demand, was officially launched. This digital catalog platform is the first of its kind in the industry and provides real-time pedigrees and EPDs for each lot listing. EPD values can be searched within and across all Herefords On Demand catalogs, making this a great tool for breeders of all sizes to market their genetics. Effective Jan. 1, 2019, Certified Hereford Beef ® (CHB) implemented changes to its carcass specifications. This change has allowed the program to support the highquality, consistent and tender product demanded by both foodservice and retail consumers. The upgrade also allowed for CHB premiums to be added to all National Beef Packing Co. and U.S. Premium Beef ® value-added grids. The junior programs continue to grow with a strong focus on education and leadership. During the 2019 VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo, the Bridging the Gap college and career fair was introduced to connect junior members with secondary education opportunities and agricultural organizations seeking great young talent. In partnership with BioZyme® Inc., the National Junior Hereford Association’s Fed Steer Shootout increased its educational efforts to give our junior membership an opportunity to gain valuable insight into the feeding and packer industry. It has been another strong year for the AHA, and through our collective efforts, we will continue to lead through innovation. — Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president

Innovation Through Advancement My Herd, Your Way Four years after the official launch of the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) digital registration site, MyHerd.org was redesigned to be more efficient, user-friendly and mobilefriendly. Along with a modernized look, intuitive user task screens and faster system speeds have streamlined the registration process for MyHerd users. For more than a year, the AHA staff worked diligently on the new MyHerd site to ensure a quality, welcoming experience for our members. Arguably the most exciting function from the update is the system’s mobile-friendly display. Members can now access MyHerd from any mobile device, whether it be a cell phone or a tablet. The functionality of MyHerd increases with every system update and the platform continues to be one of our breeders’ favorite aspects of the online registry system.

“I absolutely love MyHerd. We register several different breeds of cattle and MyHerd is the easiest platform that we use for registering cattle. The best part is how easy it is to navigate and how it shows me where to find any errors I have made.” — Erin Sidwell, Sidwell Hay and Cattle, Carpenter, Wyo.

2019 AHA Annual Report 1

Innovation Through Precision Setting Higher Standards The American Hereford Association (AHA) continues to stay focused on providing the most current and reliable genetic evaluation and tools to its members and the commercial cattle industry alike. In fiscal year (FY) 2019, significant strides were made in breed improvement through data generated with the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP), the completion of the Whole Cow Herd DNA Project, the relaunch of the Pan-American Cattle Evaluation (PACE) and research in cow efficiency. This year the AHA logged more than 90,000 genotypes and upgraded to the high-density GGP 50K chip to continue identifying genetic markers for traits of interest.

Strengthening the evaluation FY 2019 marked a historic milestone for the NRSP as the program celebrated its 20th anniversary. With more than 400 sires tested since its inception, the NRSP has been instrumental in amassing critical phenotypes from birth to harvest and contributes many of the economically relevant traits (ERTs) reported in the AHA’s genetic evaluation. In FY 2019, 38 bulls were selected by NRSP test herds to use for 2020 breeding decisions — the most bulls selected in one year to date. The AHA is also excited to welcome John Ranch, Huntsville, Mo., to an already impressive group of participating NRSP test herds from across the country. Certainly, this program continues to be an important cog in the arena of breed improvement. PACE, a joint effort between the AHA and the Hereford associations of Canada, Uruguay and Argentina, was reinitiated in FY 2019. Originally released in July 2009, this first-of-its-kind collaboration compares common genetics used in

North and South America in the same evaluation. When the AHA incorporated Biometric Open Language Tools (BOLT) software into its genetic evaluation in December 2017, the evaluation became limited to data from the U.S. and Canada while the two South American countries researched changes to their evaluation models. The AHA has since worked with the leaders of the Uruguay and Argentina Hereford associations to run research prototypes to determine the best approach to restructuring PACE. In adding South American data back into the North American genetic evaluation, the AHA will gain more than 500,000 pedigree records and more than 200,000 performance records to contribute to calculating the expected progeny differences (EPDs) of animals used across continents.

Excelling in efficiency Hereford genetics continue to excel in feedlot trials and studies, and this year a study on voluntary feed intake of baldy cows added more positive data to the repertoire. Dave Lalman, Ph.D., and his research team at Oklahoma State University compared baldy females to straight-bred black females and found baldy cows averaged a higher body condition score over straight-bred black cows while consuming less feed per day. On average, the baldy female consumed roughly 2 pounds per day less of moderate-quality forage than her straight-bred counterpart — equating to 725 pounds less forage on an annual basis.

Innovation Through Collaboration Branding the Advantage As part of the effort to improve demand and value of Hereford genetics, the American Hereford Association (AHA) hosted a two-day educational conference for breeders to build and strengthen their marketing strategies. Garnering nationwide attention, “The Brand” Marketing Summit was a first-of-its kind industry event which brought together producers from the U.S. and Canada to collaborate to better position their brand and the Hereford breed. Professionals representing all sectors of the beef industry discussed how to utilize traditional and digital marketing platforms to connect with customers. Sessions covered the strengths of Hereford genetics, the relevancy of beef in the food industry, establishing a marketing compass, ideal customer service practices and incorporating social media and video into a marketing plan. Attendees noted the event was great for helping Hereford breeders develop one voice to make the breed stronger. “Whether it is our youngest ones here, or the oldest that have passed their farm or ranch down, I think it’s critical that we stay abreast of everything that is going on in the industry,” says Terri Barber, former AHA president. “It gives us a chance to gather around an event that’s not related to a convention or a stock show or a sale, and it allows us to be able to focus on what we are truly here for, and that’s learning what’s going on in the industry and how we can impact it positively.”

“Not only was this a networking opportunity, but the lessons learned hit home. It really made us concentrate on what we need to focus on as an operation, as far as customer service, and getting our story out there and being consistent with that story.” — Bill Dunn, Dunn Herefords, Cochranton, Pa.

Innovation Through Resources Marketing Made Easy In fiscal year 2019, Hereford breeders took their digital marketing efforts a step further with the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) launch of Herefords On Demand (HOD). This new online catalog production system is designed to serve breeders as an efficient and complete sale resource for sale offerings of any scale. Its many cutting-edge features — including daily expected progency difference (EPD) updates, searchable information within a catalog and across all catalogs, video capabilities and sharing shortcuts — make it a great marketing avenue. Creating a Herefords On Demand catalog has been tailored to be as user-friendly as possible with four simple steps to enter information for the catalog. These steps guide the user through entering contact information, sale details and lot information and then selecting a layout design. A Creative Services team member works directly with the user to approve the catalog before posting it to the AHA website. “Herefords On Demand is a great promotional tool for Hereford programs regardless of size,” says Joe Rickabaugh, AHA director of field management and seedstock marketing. “It will allow private treaty sale listings, video sale offerings, select small sale events, ongoing sire directories as well as traditional sale catalogs. Herefords On Demand will take promotion of Hereford seedstock to an all new level.”

“I found the four-step process easy and straightforward to initiate on my own. As a small breeder, HOD expanded my marketing opportunities and allowed me to reach a broader group of potential buyers.” — Margaret Platter, JLG Herefords, Greenfield, Ind.

Innovation Through Quality Embracing Change Fiscal year 2019 marked a year of change for the Certified Hereford Beef ® brand. Effective Jan. 1, 2019, Certified Hereford Beef officially modified the brand’s minimum marbling score requirement of the Schedule G-10 from a Slight00 marbling score to a Small00 marbling score, elevating the quality level of the Certified Hereford Beef brand to a United States Department of Agriculture Choice quality grade. “Our Hereford farmers and ranchers have worked diligently over the years to improve the Hereford breed,” says Amari Seiferman, Certified Hereford Beef president and CEO. “This modification is a testament to that work and proves Certified Hereford Beef is a premium quality product. We are proud to move our brand forward to a new era of success.” The decision to modify the marbling score specification was due to the increasing quality

of Hereford cattle in the market. The specification improvement better positions Certified Hereford Beef for market relevance and allows the brand to be more competitive in the consumer market, where exceptional quality is demanded. Along with increased growth potential, another benefit of the change has been the opportunity for higher premiums, rewarding producers who meet CHB Premium brand requirements. The growth in Certified Hereford Beef demand has allowed packing partners to pay premiums for high-quality cattle. “This is a great opportunity for producers utilizing Hereford genetics to realize additional value for their cattle and further promotes the advantages of the Hereford breed,” says Trey Befort, American Hereford Association (AHA) director of commercial programs. Although change is not without obstacles, the Certified Hereford Beef brand has the resilience to continue on the path to exponential growth and success. The brand will continue the tradition of supporting Hereford farmers and ranchers by marketing and promoting premium Hereford genetics to foodservice distributors, retailers and consumers across the globe.

Positioning the Certified Hereford Beef brand for success Established in 1995, Certified Hereford Beef was formed to create demand for the Hereford breed and to provide consumers with a high-quality eating experience. With a reputation built on exceptional product performance and flavor, Certified Hereford Beef continues to gain market share in the industry and to expand its distribution footprint throughout the U.S. and globally. The consumer market is rich with opportunity for high-quality Hereford programs to offer differentiation in a saturated market consisting of a large number of “me-too” programs. To capitalize on this opportunity, Certified Hereford Beef adapted and improved its product to position the brand to gain market share. The CHB Premium program, founded in 2017, consists of upper 2/3rds Choice and higher products and has been the driving force behind recent CHB growth. An aggressive strategic plan is in place to continue the growth of the brand. Because of the extraordinary progress made in the Hereford breed to improve 6 2019 AHA Annual Report

quality, Certified Hereford Beef is poised to compete with the top beef brands in the industry.

Leveraging tradition Brand support from the AHA membership is one of the greatest assets of Certified Hereford Beef. Consumers crave a connection with those who produce their food, and the ability for Certified Hereford Beef to bring foodservice, retail and consumer partners to Hereford operations to see cattle production firsthand gives the brand a competitive advantage over other beef brands in the industry. Farm and ranch tours have been increasingly requested by the growing number of Certified Hereford Beef partners, and these visits are an excellent way for producers to tell their story and to educate participants about beef production and animal welfare. Certified Hereford Beef is proud of the rich heritage and uncompromising dedication to quality Hereford farmers and ranchers provide. The exceptional eating experience the brand provides, coupled with an exciting story to tell, will continue to drive growth for the Certified Hereford Beef brand. The best is yet to come.

and considered one of the largest junior beef breed shows in the nation, the 20th annual JNHE was a highlight of the year’s activities. Hereford youth not only had the opportunity to show cattle on the industry’s biggest stage but also explored their futures. The NJHA board of directors debuted an innovative college and career fair dubbed Bridging the Gap. The event attracted the industry’s top companies and universities and provided Hereford youth with a unique venue to talk about their next big step.

New face, same conference For a decade, the NJHA has worked to build junior members into strong leaders through the Faces of Leadership Conference. This year on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Innovation Campus the conference took on a new face with an even greater focus on creating leaders, collaborating and cultivating opportunities. Through this vehicle, the NJHA strives to offer a unique and influential experience to junior members. Entrepreneurship was this year’s theme and Tom Field, Ph.D., director of the Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneur Program, led the charge and provided a once-in-a-lifetime experience for participants. Field approached the conference with the foundational belief a young person is capable of problem solving and creating solutions when given the opportunity and bandwidth to do so.

Herefords made history on the Hill at the historic National Western Complex as one of the last events of its kind in the Stadium Arena and the Denver Yards. 8 2019 AHA Annual Report

“The reality is for any industry, developing your talent is the key,” Field says. “What Hereford has chosen to do through a number of really thoughtful and forward-thinking donors, they made the decision to invest in young people and they are investing in ways that actually change the trajectory of their careers, their thoughts, the trajectory of their relationships and, in doing so, I think they are changing lives.”

Real-world educational opportunities abound

The Lot 1 Foundation female continues to be one of the largest funding platforms for the foundation. This fundraising tradition celebrated 11 years at the 2019 Mile High Night Sale and has generated $890,000 in its lifetime to support youth initiatives.

For three years running, the NJHA has conducted a unique program called the Fed Steer Shootout. Its goal is to teach juniors about the challenges and opportunities of feeding their own cattle for the Certified Hereford Beef ® brand. Powered by BioZyme® Inc.’s Feed the Future program, the Fed Steer Shootout is an industryleading opportunity for NJHA members to gain an invaluable educational and a real-world cattlefeeding experience. Contestants collect feedyard performance and carcass data during the contest and are given the opportunity to gain a broad knowledge of the cattle feeding and packing industries through a comprehensive educational component of the contest. This year’s contest started with almost a 60% increase in numbers from the previous year with more than 200 Hereford and Hereford-influenced steers on feed at Gregory Feedlots Inc., Tabor, Iowa. In partnership with BioZyme Inc., the NJHA incorporated more educational components into the program in FY 2019. In addition to a monthly health report, a series of videos and quizzes was deployed to educate participants. Juniors also competed in a performance portfolio competition, with the top five portfolios receiving a travel scholarship for the speech and interview portion of the contest to be named the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout Junior of the Year at the 2019 American Hereford Association Annual Meeting and Conference in Kansas City, Mo.

HYFA gives back Last fall, HYFA reached an all-time high in net assets of $4.2 million, and throughout the fiscal year, more than $310,000 was given back to junior members through scholarship, education and leadership programs. New fundraising programs are added each year as HYFA is always working to build on the legacy programs upon which the foundation is built. HYFA was excited to bring long time industry partners BioZyme Inc. and Sullivan Supply on board in an even greater capacity. BioZyme Inc. powered the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout through the Feed the Future program, and Sullivan Supply joined forces as the official industry partner and show supplier of the NJHA. The Foundation 1 Club was initiated by Sierra Ranches in 2018, and the program grew to new heights in FY 2019 with more than $90,000 in revenue generated from all participating ranches and industry partners who give a percentage of their yearly sales back to HYFA.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1 — NATURE OF ORGANIZATION

Nature of Operations The American Hereford Association (AHA) 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 AHA are primarily owners and breeders of Hereford cattle. The members and subscribers are located world‑wide; however, the largest concentration is within the United States. Hereford Publications, Inc. (HPI) is a for-profit corporation that provides publication services to Hereford cattle ranches and publishes a magazine periodically. Certified Hereford Beef, LLC (CHB), is a not‑for‑profit association whose sole member is the AHA. 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 AHA. ABRA provides computer consultation in herd planning and management, breeding services, and marketing for commercial livestock of various breeds. Hereford Legacy Fund, LLC (HLF), is a not-for-profit association whose sole member is the AHA. HLF holds the proceeds from the sale of AHA’s building and uses its investment income to pay for the rent of the consolidated Association. HLF was formed as a limited liability company on April 12, 2018.

2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AHA and its wholly‑owned subsidiaries: HPI, CHB, ABRA, and HLF. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Collectively, the consolidation of AHA, HPI, CHB, ABRA, and HLF are hereafter referred to as the Association. Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation The Association classifies its information regarding net assets and revenues, expenses, gains, and losses based on the existence or absence of donor imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets of the Association and changes therein are classified and report as follows: Net Assets Without Donor Restrictions: Net assets in this category are not subject to donor-imposed restrictions and may be expended for any purpose in performing the primary objectives of the Association. These net assets may be used at the discretion of the Foundation's management and the board of directors.

2019 AHA Annual Report 11

Net Assets With Donor Restrictions: Net assets in this category are subject to stipulations imposed by donors. Some donor restrictions are temporary in nature; those restrictions will be met by actions of the Foundation or by the passage of time. Other donor restrictions are perpetual in nature, where by the donor has stipulated the funds be maintained in perpetuity. Donor restricted contributions are reported as increases in net assets with donor restrictions. When a restriction expires, net assets are reclassified from net assets with donor restrictions to net assets without donor restrictions in the statements of activities. The Association has no net assets without donor restrictions. Measure of Operations The consolidated statements of activities report all changes in net assets, including changes in net assets from operating and nonoperating activities. Operating activities consist of those items attributable to the Association’s ongoing animal services and interest and dividends earned on investments. Nonoperating activities are limited to resources that generate return from investments and other activities considered to be of a more unusual or nonrecurring nature. 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 consolidated 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 $101,719 and $2,867,820 were considered to be cash equivalents at August 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 may be turned over to a collection agency. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value 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, 2019 and 2018. Gains or losses on sales of investments are determined on a specific cost identification method. Unrealized gains and losses are determined based on year-end market values and are 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 – include amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable. 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, 2019 and 2018. 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, agency, 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. Exchange Traded Funds: These assets are valued at the net asset value reported on the active market on which the securities are traded. The valuation occurs throughout the day based on the market value of the underlying securities as well as the market supply and demand for the particular exchange traded fund. Mutual Funds: Each investor in the mutual fund will typically receive units of participation in the mutual fund. These units are valued daily, based on the underlying securities owned by the mutual fund, which are usually publicly traded debt or equity securities. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated 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 for consolidated financial statement purposes. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of activities for the period. The Association capitalizes all assets, major replacements, and betterments with a useful life greater than one year and cost in excess of $1,000. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.

12 2019 AHA Annual Report

Long‑lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in the circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be disposed of by sales are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases. This ASU intends to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and by disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Previous to this ASU, entities were allowed to exclude from the balance sheet leases classified as operating leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. In July 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases: Targeted Improvements, which amended ASU 2016-02 to provide an entity with a transition method for implementing the standard. Under this transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date, and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Association early adopted ASU No. 2016-02. The adoption of this standard had a material impact on the consolidated statement of financial position, but did not have an impact on the consolidated statement of activities. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating lease, which was $2,247,640 and $2,257,536, respectively, for the year ended August 31, 2018. The Association elected to use the risk free rate in determining the present value of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. 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 statements of financial position. Functional Expenses The costs of providing program and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the consolidated statements of activities. The presentation of expenses by function and nature is included in the consolidated statements of functional expenses. The Association charges direct expenses incurred for a specific function directly to the program or supporting service category. These costs can be specifically identified as being incurred for the activities of that program or supporting service. Other costs that are incurred by the Association that benefit more than one program or supporting service are allocated on a reasonable basis that is consistently applied. Payroll and related costs are allocated based on estimates of time and effort; other costs including depreciation, certain occupancy and office costs, and consulting are allocated based on estimates of usage or benefit received by each function. The Association reevaluates its allocation method each year to determine if there are adjustments that are necessary to the allocation method based on actual activities conducted during the year. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are charged to expense when incurred. The amounts expensed during the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018, were $204,421 and $241,522, respectively. Income Taxes AHA, ABRA, CHB, and HLF are exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, therefore, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. AHA, ABRA, CHB, and HLF are, however, subject to income taxes on any net income from unrelated business activities. AHA, ABRA, CHB, and HLF 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 and state income taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards; deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. HPI includes interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities, if any, in income tax expense. Income tax credits are accounted for by the flowthrough method, which recognizes the credits as reductions of income tax expense in the year utilized. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated 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 of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. New Accounting Pronouncement In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-14, Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for- Profit Entities. The update

addresses the complexity and understandability of net asset classification, deficiencies in information about liquidity and availability of resources, and the lack of consistency in the type of information provided about expenses and investment return. The Association has adjusted the presentation of these statements accordingly. The ASU has been applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the prior‑year comparative information have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to presentation in the current‑year consolidated financial statements. Evaluation of Subsequent Events The Association has evaluated subsequent events through October 8, 2019, the date the consolidated financial statements were available for issue. The Association is substantially supported by the services it provides its members. Revenue from services provided can be affected by the number of cattle and current economic conditions. The following represents the Association’s financial assets:

9 — COLLECTIONS OF ARTWORK

The Association has a collection of artwork, appraised at approximately $639,200 at August 31, 2019 and 2018, that is on public display at the Association's headquarters. The most recent appraisal is as of April 2015 for new pieces added in 2015, and as of August 2011 for the rest of the collection. The Association has adopted a policy of not capitalizing the collection of artwork in its consolidated 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 no pieces added to the collection during the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018. There were no pieces disposed of during the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018. The Association insures these collections with a policy that has a face value consistent with the appraised values.

10 — CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Association maintains cash accounts that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Association's bank balances may exceed this insurance from time to time.

11 — 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, 2019 and 2018, were $104,278 and $95,749, respectively.

12 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June of 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-08, Not-for-Profit Entities – Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made. This ASU intends to clarify how a not-for-profit organization determines whether a resource provider is participating in an exchange transaction and provides a framework for determining whether a resource recipient should account for a transaction as a contribution or as an exchange transaction. Previous to this ASU, there has been difficulty and diversity in practice among not-for-profit organizations: with characterizing grants and similar contracts with government agencies and others as reciprocal transactions (exchanges) or nonreciprocal transactions (contributions) and in distinguishing between conditional and unconditional contributions. The new standard is effective for annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2018, for resource recipients. The Association has not yet determined the impact, if any, the implementation of this amendment will have on the financial statements.

My past 24 hours have been spent disinfecting, washing every piece of bedding in the house, meticulously combing through a child’s hair strand by strand and possibly cussing under my breath. Definitely cussing under my breath. It’s not something that’s often discussed. But I’m going there. Yep. After having children in one school system or another for 11 years, I finally got the call. That dreaded four-letter word: lice. I had heard a rumor that they were circulating, and I began to be even more proactive. Reminding our sweet child to not hug friends as normal. “High fives are the new cool!” Washing hair with the rosemary/tea tree shampoo that supposedly these nasty varmints despise. They don’t despise it nearly enough, apparently. When I got that call from the school office, I literally got nauseous. Because I knew what horror was coming our way. I was an hour from home at a photo session when the call came. So, after ensuring my motherin-law could handle the school pickup, I went to my next step: calling on my friends who have been there. (Let me just say, if you’ve never dealt with this nasty little issue, consider yourself blessed. And knock on some wood. Right now. But chances are, you’ve experienced this joy. And, if not, you know several families who have — even if they’ve never discussed it with you.)

Thank you, friends These friends were a godsend. Giving tips on the products that definitely do the job of killing every last one of those repulsive creatures. How to disinfect those 5,346 stuffed animals. Which combs work best. How to clean furniture and carpets and rugs and every soft surface in the ever-loving

home. And how to hang on to that last little bit of momma’s remaining sanity. And although I was anything but chipper as I began this enormous chore, I was also thankful. Thankful for the friends who had walked this road before and who could provide the advice I so desperately needed. Thankful for those keeping-it-real friends — the ones who aren’t afraid to share the truth and be open and honest. The friends who aren’t afraid to “go there” in conversations. The friends who are transparent and who are the first to admit no one’s life is perfect — no matter the Instagram posts of all smiles, all the time. Sometimes, life isn’t pretty. It’s downright gross. And that’s when those real friends are the most valuable. Those friends are needed in every aspect of our lives — and in the barn is no different. If you’ve made it any amount of time with cattle in your life, you have no doubt run across at least one overwhelming issue. Likely many. Those friends who will answer the phone and give the reassurance that you’ll get through it are invaluable. The ones who have been there and can give the practical advice to help you through. So, during this season of thanks, I’m thankful for the friends who can provide the real-life, down-and-dirty advice we need in all areas of our lives. And in the meantime, I’ll be washing and drying and diligently disinfecting every surface of our home. Because it’s an all-out war in the Lee home. And no little creature stands a chance.

From the Field In passing

Start today with cow status in the palm of your hand.

Thomas Wayne Dashiell, 100, Fairfield, Wash., passed away Sept. 24. Tom was born June 23, 1919, at his family’s homestead near Mt. Hope, Wash., to George and Annie Dashiell. Tom was actively engaged in the agriculture industry. He began his Hereford cattle herd in 1945, which continued to grow for 53 years. He was always looking for cattle with good temperaments and were a favorable consumer product. He was inducted into the American Hereford Association’s Hall of Fame in 2010. During his farming career, Tom helped develop the area’s bluegrass seed industry. He and a few neighbors started the company Seeds Inc. in 1972, which continues today as a Dashiell family business. Tom had an interest in soil quality and was always concerned about soil erosion. In 1958 he was named Conservation Farmer of the Year. Tom met his wife, Ardis, at a dance, and they were married Dec. 5, 1945. They celebrated 71 years together. Tom was an active member of the Masonic Lodge for his entire adult life and was a Mt. Hope Cemetery Association board member. He is survived by his children, Elaine, Paul (Jane) and Ross; eight grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; his sister-in-law, Eunice Dick; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
