World’s Perspective

Gratitude and Growth

by Katie Maupin Miller

Innovation can be driven by tradition not just rooted in it.

Katie Maupin Miller is the senior editor of Hereford World. She can be reached at kmiller@hereford.org.

| November 2026

This year, when I gather around the Thanksgiving table and count blessings, one of my greatest will be sitting beside me in his highchair — our 10-month-old son. Having a child sheds new light on time-honored traditions and breathes new meaning into your day-to-day. Traditionally, Thanksgiving serves as a time to count your blessings and be grateful, but my husband sometimes scoffs at these cliches. “How can you do better, if you’re satisfied with what you have?” he wonders. It’s an interesting question. Can you still strive for change when you’re happy with where you are? I think so. In my experience, the most profound change is found at the intersection of gratitude and growth. Multi-generational ranches are a great example of this. With each generation brought into the fold, the operations inevitably change, welcome new perspectives and often grow alongside of the family. The Hereford breed is fortunate to have many outstanding examples of generations working together to better the industry. As a new mom, I find myself reflecting on things I’ve been grateful for in my life, experiences I want to share with my son, but I’ve also put a lot of thought into ways I can make the metaphorical road he will travel even smoother along the way. As magazine editors, we look back at each issue and offer kudos to our team members, but we also study areas where we can better serve you — our reader. The American Hereford Association (AHA) also thrives at the intersection of gratitude and growth. The breed’s long history as an essential part of America’s cow herd — helping tame the West by adding bald faces to scrubby range cows — will always be an important part of the Hereford story. Yet, Hereford breeders aren’t happy to be anchored in history alone. They

strive each day to make cattle better, and they have. AHA staff and Board members rally around their mission, devoting themselves to following the Association’s Long-Range Strategic Plan, which will ensure that bald faces will always be an essential element of the U.S. cow herd. Last month, folks gathered in Kansas City for the AHA Annual Meeting and Educational Forum. The Association honored breed and industry influencers we’re grateful for and lifted up the next generation of agricultural leaders. Team Hereford constantly strives to improve the breed while remembering its history.

In this issue

Flip through the pages of this issue to see how the breed continues to build upon its heritage, making it an integral component of today’s most successful cattle operations. The Annual Report, on Page 39, chronicles the many steps the Association made this year in meeting the goals laid out in the strategic plan, from recording setting sales to supporting the next generation. Read Austin Snedden’s story on Page 24. The retiring AHA president steered the Board toward progress and continued to home in on the breed’s value to commercial cattlemen with his signature mixture of conviction and respectful forthrightness, traits he attributes to his parents, which he’s passing along to his own children. Austin knows change and innovation require more than words; they take action. “If I’m going to have opinions about things, then I’d better be willing to do something about it,” Austin says. AHA knows this too. For the fourth year, the Association welcomed some of its brightest young stockmen to the Seedstock Academy to delve into the breed, genetic improvement and the beef supply chain.

Breed Focus

Measured Progress

by Jack Ward

Hereford momentum grows.

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

Demand for Hereford genetics continues to expand, underscored by registered bulls and females selling for historically high prices. Increased demand is also reflected by registration growth through the American Hereford Association (AHA). Registrations were 7% more year over year in fiscal year 2026 (FY 26), which ended Sept. 30. The AHA Hereford Cow Inventory grew 2% during the same period. These gains are magnified when considering the nation’s beef cow herd continued contracting during that time. Breed growth stems from preparation intersecting industry need. AHA’s current Long Range Strategic Plan developed five years ago defines innovative strategies and initiatives to achieve the organization’s mission to: “Establish Hereford genetics as the essential component of the U.S. beef cow herd.” The AHA Board and staff have worked diligently and deliberately since then to accomplish the Strategic Plan’s vision and mission. New and ongoing results of these efforts were abundant during the last fiscal year.

Intentional steps

For instance, the new AHA national ad campaign — “Stamped for More” — launched in August. It highlights Hereford’s inherent genetic strengths and their value in commercial cow herds, while also boosting direct and maternal heterosis through complementary crossbreeding systems. I encourage you to visit the AHA website (Hereford.org) and look under the “Commercial” tab, where you can learn about the documented research supporting the campaign. Click the “Media” tab for sale catalog inserts, ads, testimonials and other opportunities to share the Hereford story. Certainly, hosting the World Hereford Conference in October 2025 was an extraordinary milestone. Years

| November 2026

went into planning and executing the event, which drew 850 Hereford breeders from 20 countries and 40 states for educational sessions and tours that showcased U.S. genetics, breed research and marketing efforts. Once again, I commend the AHA staff for their efforts in organizing such a successful event. You will find other highlights from FY 26 in the AHA Annual Report with this issue of Hereford World, including ongoing innovative research and commercial and junior program success.

Strong start

AHA’s new fiscal year began with the fourth annual Seedstock Academy, which welcomed eight young breeders from seven states for an intensive week of networking, education and engagement with leaders from across the beef supply chain (see Page 32). Incidentally, the Seedstock Academy is another initiative born out of the Strategic Plan to build a pipeline of breed and industry leaders. The new year also introduced 1881 Creative, a rebrand of Hereford Publications Inc., which elevates marketing services and opportunities for AHA members and other industry stakeholders. As you plan your marketing for 2027, I encourage you to visit with 1881 Creative staff and AHA field representatives to explore the opportunities available to tell your own story and help market your genetics.

Members lead

Of course, AHA members’ commitment to breed improvement makes all of this possible. Your diligence in crafting genetics that provide industry solutions continues to cleave new opportunities for the breed.

Performance Matters

Stand Up for Value

by Shane Bedwell

Help your customers benefit.

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.

Hereford-influenced calves, feeder cattle and replacement females continue to drive enthusiasm and profit opportunity at sale barns across the country as their numbers continue to increase. I received a phone call this fall sale season, which illustrates how much industry perceptions are changing, due to how breeders continue improving genetics for commercial producers and how commercial users of Hereford genetics use and manage them. The call was from a man who recently purchased several loads of feeder cattle at an auction market. A group of baldies came into the ring. There happened to be a feather-neck Hereford in the group. As usual, at this particular market, the barn owner announced, “We’ll cut off the red one on their way out, so you’re just buying the black baldies.” After the man calling me won the bid, the sale barn owner reminded the crew to sort off the red one. That’s when our buyer yelled, “Stop! Leave the red steer; he’s the best one in the group.” A fellow bidder from a few rows down turned and acknowledged him with a wide grin. I’ve been grinning every time I remember the phone call. The gentleman who bought the calves knew their value because of the reputation of the health and genetics associated with the operation selling them. He wasn’t going to discount the seller or miss out on one of the best steers in the lot.

Retrieve the added value

The Hereford breed has made so much progress. I believe it’s incredibly important to work with your customers to make sure they realize how much progress has been made and how much added value the genetics represent. If you aren’t already, help your customers market their cattle to full potential.

| November 2026

For instance, some sale barns work for the seller and some work for the buyer. I’ve found very few over the years that work for both. Now more than ever, it is important to help your customers get connected with a firm that is going to work for them as the seller. Otherwise, those long hours of dedicated breeding and genetic improvement can simply be wasted. Hereford breeders, it is time to take a stand on the market value of Hereford and Hereford-influenced feeder cattle. American Hereford Association field staff and marketing representatives have worked hard to develop relationships with auction markets that understand the value of Hereford and Hereford-influenced cattle and want to market them. There is no sense to continue doing business with markets willing to undercut the value of modern-day Hereford cattle. If your customers don’t have access to a Hereford-friendly auction market, consider buying some of these cattle yourself and retaining ownership in them. This has proven a winning strategy for some Hereford breeders who ensure calves built with their genetics receive the most value possible. Their bull customer wins, and they win. Keep in mind the Hereford Feedout Programs mean you can retain ownership and feed a trailer-load of cattle or entire pens at HRC Feed Yards LLC in Scott City, Kan. Despite current market turbulence, I believe there will continue to be profitable opportunities in feeding cattle. Even if it winds up being an economic wash, you have the chance to support valued bull customers while discovering or adding valuable data about your genetics and selection decisions. That sounds like a win to me. As always, keep them sound. Hereford.org

Submitting DNA

by Laura Kouba

The American Hereford Association (AHA) considers DNA testing an essential component of breed improvement. The Association and its DNA service provider, Weatherbys Scientific, accept several types of samples, including hair, semen straws, blood cards and tissue sample units (TSU). Regardless of the sample type, producers should always request a DNA submission form from the AHA before collecting or submitting a sample. DNA requests can easily be made online, through MyHerd, or by reaching out to the AHA customer service department over the phone or via email. Samples must be attached to the corresponding individual DNA submission form for that specific animal. This ensures the proper sample and test is completed. Sending your samples in any other way will lead to delayed processing time or even the samples being returned unprocessed.

DNA submission cautions

Avoid these common mistakes while submiting DNA samples to Weatherbys. Properly collected, safely submitted and clearly marked samples can be processed quickly and correctly. • Do not place your TSU(s) back into the small white box they came in. Even if you’ve written next to the sample to identify which animal it is, this isn’t the proper way to submit the sample. It is not the lab’s job to match the correct sample with the correct form. This adds additional processing time to your sample along with the added opportunity for human error when someone (who isn’t familiar with your animals/samples) must match the sample to the proper form.

| November 2026

• Avoid putting the sample(s) in individual bags or envelopes and sending the submission form(s) separately — even if you’ve labeled which animal’s sample is in the bag or envelope. Again, the samples need to be attached to the submission form. • Hair samples should not be stored in sealed bags or envelopes. If you are going to put a hair sample in a bag or envelope, be sure to leave it unsealed. ANY moisture getting into the bag or envelope before it’s sealed could damage the hair sample, making it unable to be tested. Hair samples should always be kept at room temperature and where air can get to them. • Do not place a sample and form in an envelope or bag without also physically attaching the sample to the form. The sample may fall out when the envelope is opened, and that can lead to potential sample mix-ups, contamination, missing samples, etc. — always attach the sample to the submission form. • Avoid sending multiple samples for the same animal/submission form. Please only send one sample per submission form. For example, don’t send both a hair sample and a blood card. Sending more than one for an animal causes confusion at the lab, and then the lab must stop and contact the AHA to figure out which one needs to be processed. Only ONE sample can be processed per submission form. If you are worried about one sample type failing versus the other, take multiple samples from the animal, but keep the “backup” samples; if the first sample fails, you have a backup to send in and try again.

Association Programs Sires Selected for 2027 NRSP

The American Hereford Association National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) is a powerful tool for individual breeders and the collective breed to evaluate the genetic merit of young Hereford sires through large contemporary groups of their progeny head-to-head in the real world of commercial cowcalf production. Proven sires are also evaluated in the test to further validate their values while providing more reliable data for comparing young sires to the Hereford population. The program is designed to identify and validate the genetic merit of young sires that offer seedstock producers and commercial users of Hereford genetics the opportunity to improve their herds for specific traits and a combination of traits. It also provides ongoing confirmation of the profitability associated with Hereford genetics. These are the sires selected for the 2027 NRSP to use at Olsen Ranches, Harrisburg, Neb. Learn more about the NRSP under the “genetics” tab at Hereford.org.

building relationships through the Hereford breed. For Cruz Colyer of Bruneau, Idaho, those opportunities are a part of life. Last winter, his family enjoyed showring success, winning divisions in Oklahoma City, Denver and Forth Worth, along with winning the bull show in Reno and Denver. While the banners are meaningful, it’s the people and experiences behind them that help make each stop worthwhile. “I don’t have a favorite show; it’s more about getting to see people at all of these shows,” Colyer says. “It’s humbling to see how many people believe in the Hereford breed and will make the trip to so many of the shows.” Growing up in the breed, Colyer has become increasingly involved in the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA), building relationships and gaining experiences that extend past the summer junior events. Through that involvement, he has developed an appreciation for the NJHA’s impact. “An experience that truly changed my life was the Faces of Leadership conference. It made me appreciate what I have, the NJHA and the friendships I have been fortunate enough to make through this organization,” Colyer shares. That perspective follows him into the national show season, where many of the same juniors, their families and breeders reconnect. While national shows bring competition to the ring, Colyer sees something extra in the Hereford breed. “The NJHA has made me look forward to seeing all the people involved with it. There is an excitement that comes from being around such good people and being part of something bigger than yourself,” Colyer says. “The friendships, energy and

support within the NJHA are truly irreplaceable. Everyone is a friend, everyone is family, and everyone is there to see each other succeed.”

Creating connections

For Colyer, that sense of community reflects the people who make the NJHA and American Hereford Association (AHA) what they are. This year, Colyer looks forward to reconnecting with those people, strengthening friendships and continuing to meet new people through the Hereford breed, its youth association and its events. His experience serves as a reminder that the NJHA’s impact is not limited to summer events or the junior showring. The relationships, values and sense of belonging developed through the association continue to shape NJHA members’ experience year-round. “How you treat people will always matter more than what you have accomplished. I believe that is one of the most important lessons you can learn. You can have everything in the world, but if you do not have the NJHA, the AHA, your friends and your family standing behind you, you are missing the point,” Colyer says. “The people you meet, the friendships you build and the way you make others feel will stay with you much longer than any award or accomplishment.” For Colyer, the start of the national show season marks more than a chance to step into the showring once more; it’s a chance to put NJHA’s lessons into action and continue representing the organization and the people shaping its junior members. For young people preparing to hit the road this winter, remember that the opportunities to learn, connect and grow through the NJHA are waiting at every stop along the way. Hereford.org

Foundation’s Focus

Legacy Building

by Ray Ramsey

Sitting down each fall to reflect on a year’s worth of activities, scholarships and relationships supported by the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) and its work makes me feel increasingly grateful for the impact that this Foundation and every one of its tireless supporters continue to have. This impact flows through many avenues, including scholarships, supporting the VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo — an annual keystone event for the National Junior Hereford Association — and the growing number of

President Ray Ramsey 317-462-7122, rayramsey77@gmail.com Vice president George Sprague 541-465-2188, gks@bar1ranch.com Directors Jill Bielema 616-292-7476, jrbielema@gmail.com Katie Colyer 208-599-2962, katie@hereford.com Bill King 505-220-9909, bill@billkingranch.com Kathy Buchholz 214-537-1306, kathy@gkbcattle.com Bruce Everhart 317-407-3618, bruceeverhart56@gmail.com Curtis Curry 918-521-4629, curtis.curry@american-national.com Director of youth activities Amy Cowan 816-842-3757, acowan@hereford.org HerefordYouthFoundation.org

opportunities HYFA fosters. All of our efforts are guided by the organization’s pillars — scholarship, leadership, research and education. I’d like to share a few interesting figures with you to help illustrate the crucial role that organizations, like HYFA, are playing in building future generations. • In 1926, 26% of the U.S. population was involved in production farming and ranching; a total of just over 30 million people. • Fast forward to 2026, and we see less than 2% of the U.S. population involved in production farming and ranching; totaling 3.4 million people. Let’s pause for a moment. Consider that in 1926, one out of every four Americans you encountered was involved in agriculture. Today, you would need to meet 50 Americans to find that same one. Moreover, we only see 39% of family farms and ranches survive into the third generation and a mere 1% make it to the sixth. I don’t know how you feel reading those figures, but I’ll tell you how I feel. First, I feel extremely grateful for growing up on and continuing to steward a family farm. Right after that, I feel deeply concerned. Without a doubt, there is an unlimited number of variables to consider when you see the declining

number of young U.S. farmers and ranchers staying on the operation. Most of these variables are out of our reach in terms of being able to control or alter them. Do you know what we can control? Our commitment and dedication to investing in our youth, not only in the form of scholarships, but in participation in any number of the programs that we offer throughout the year to educate, engage and inspire the exceptional youth within our breed. These future generations are not only going to be whom we look toward as leaders and innovators in our country, but they are also our legacy — a legacy that we can continue to build, foster and promote together. It is a legacy that will stand the test of time because even if our numbers are smaller, our combined strength has never been greater. Without the support of our current and past HYFA board members, staff and monetary contributors, none of this would be possible. With the total current asset value of the Foundation at $9 million, not only will our impact on future generations continue to grow but the legacy of what we can do for Hereford youth will become an unstoppable force. I am honored to continue leading that mission. Ray Ramsey is the Hereford Youth Foundation of America’s president. He can be reached at rayramsey77@gmail.com.

CHB Bites

Before the First Bite

by Ernie Davis

“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, or @certifiedherefordbeef on Instagram.

A premium beef eating experience comes to life at the table, but it begins long before the first bite. It is too easy to underestimate how much value consumers place on the experience, from what they know and feel about the product to their confidence the product will fulfill their expectations. Each conversation Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) partners have with their customers is an opportunity to introduce the brand or reinforce previous brand experience. That’s why CHB’s strategic plan and staff efforts include focus on equipping partners and their staff — meat department associates, distributor representatives and restaurant servers — with knowledge about what sets the brand apart, including its compelling story.

Differentiation is key

We emphasize the bold flavor, tenderness and consistency of CHB, which was first documented in 1991 by researchers at Colorado State University. The results proved Hereford beef was superior in tenderness, juiciness and flavor. Numerous consumer taste-test panels over time continue choosing CHB as the winner when compared to competing products. Along with consistent palatability attributes, CHB also delivers consistent cut size, which

| November 2026

improves operation efficiency and product yield. Given how much more customers today want to know about the environmental impact of the products they choose, we also emphasize Hereford’s documented production efficiencies, which mean fewer inputs required for its production. As customers learn more about Hereford’s genetic integrity and the dedicated stewardship of the cattle producers behind CHB, they begin to understand how much care and pride go into every carcass and cut. The legacy and heritage resonate as customers make the connection. As mentioned in this column over time, this is why CHB places such value in working with Hereford breeders who are willing to invest their time to help tell the brand story, be it appearing in photographs for store signage, video testimonials or hosting brand partners at their farm or ranch.

Support leverage

Successful brands connect product quality and the brand story with customer support. That takes us back to the beginning, equipping customers with the tools they need to guide purchase decisions. CHB continues to support partners with a broad

range of convenient tools to help them share the brand’s story. Examples include coordinated seasonal promotions, preparation videos, signage and cooking tips. All revolve around dynamic, consistent brand messaging that speaks directly to consumers. If you haven’t yet visited with a CHB retailer, I encourage you to and see some of the ways they’re using these tools. Likewise, visit the CHB website (CertifiedHerefordBeef.com) to see more examples of the brand’s story, messaging and support. All of this is integral to bringing the CHB brand story to life for customers and consumers. Hereford breeders and commercial users of Hereford genetics provide the foundation for brand authenticity. Packers and distributors, along with retail and foodservice partners, carry the story forward and make it relevant to those they serve. CHB’s consistent premium quality, its compelling story, consistent brand messaging and the knowledge of everyone involved combine to give consumers a reason to celebrate the first bite and the desire to return for more.

Hereford Women

Do It Like Dolly

by Bellana Putz

This fall, we lost Dolly Parton, an American icon whose influence stretched far beyond stages, screens and radio waves. What she gave the world wasn’t just music or entertainment; it was a master class in how to live with purpose, humor, grit and generosity. Dolly was iconic, philanthropic, talented, humble and wickedly witty. She built a brand before our eyes — one rooted in authenticity and wrapped in rhinestones. She was class, plain and simple. And in her own unforgettable way, she reminded us, “It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.”

We’ve had more rain than we need in my backyard lately, and I’ve caught myself wishing I could send it to the southern and western states that need it far more. But Dolly had a way of grounding us in perspective: “If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” That’s the kind of relentless optimism she carried — not ignoring hardship but always insisting on hope. We are a community of relentless people too, but even the strongest among us needs a check‑in, a nudge or a reminder that someone sees our effort. Be that person. Be relentless in kindness.

Giving gracefully

The National Hereford Women’s Board is made up of compassionate, service-minded women who dedicate themselves, not only to the Hereford breed, but also to their communities. The 2025-2026 board represents folks from Texas, Ohio, Maryland, Iowa, California, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Georgia, bringing together a diverse group of leaders united by a shared passion for serving others. Their generous hearts are a true gift to both the Hereford community and their hometowns. Like Dolly, they lead with kindness, give selflessly and lift-up those around them. Each

woman brings unique talents and perspectives to the board while balancing busy lives that include careers, grandchildren, farms and ranches, church involvement, harvest activities and cheering on kids and grandchildren in sports. That list only begins to capture all that they do. So, let’s take a page from Dolly — be relentless in our Hereford community. Treat each other like champions. Look for ways to give, whether it’s from your pocketbook or your time. Offer encouragement freely. Show up for people. Build others up. We will only grow stronger by serving each other, by choosing generosity and by remembering that leadership is not a title but a daily practice. Dolly taught us that joy is an act of courage; kindness is a form of strength and giving is the greatest legacy. The National Hereford Women show us what that looks like in real time, in real barns, with real people. As we move forward, let’s carry their lessons with us. Be relentless. Be generous. Be hopeful. Do it like Dolly. To join and to learn more about the NHW, visit HerefordWomen.com or email nationalherefordwomen@gmail.com.

Forthright Direction Retiring AHA president Austin Snedden champions commercial principles. by Wes Ishmael omplex as the cattle business is, cow-calf economics have always been straightforward for Austin Snedden and his family’s Snedden Ranch south of Maricopa, Calif. “Fertility is the No. 1 economic driver of a commercial cow-calf operation,” Austin explains. “There is no premium that can make up for a quality cow. A quality cow is always going to return more to an operation than anything.” That’s one reason Hereford cattle have always been the core of Snedden Ranch and why the retiring American Hereford Association (AHA) president sees such a bright future for the breed. “You drive around the country and see all of the black-hided cattle; there is a ton of opportunity to market Hereford genetics. The challenge will be making cattle good enough to create the pull-through demand to capture that market share,” Austin says. “It means lowmaintenance cows and calves that perform all the way through the supply chain. That balance is so critical for us, as seedstock producers, and for the Association as a whole. A lot of times, these things can be antagonistic.”

| November 2026

From the start

Austin’s great-great grandfather, Samuel Snedden, went to California in the early-1850s for the Gold Rush. He met and eventually married Anna O’Keefe. She realized gold miners weren’t rich, but feeding them could make a good living. So, she bought a herd of cows with $300 and began selling beef to the miners. Drought pushed the Snedden family southwest to their current location. Herefords came soon after and have been integral to the operation since the 20th century began. In 1972, Austin’s dad, Richard, and grandpa, Bertram, were running commercial Hereford cows and finding it difficult to find bulls that could acclimate to the rugged environment. So, they decided to start raising bulls for their own use. They bought their first registered Hereford cows for that purpose in 1972. By 1982, they were selling a few bulls to folks who saw how they worked in the environment. Today, they sell about 45 bulls each year in their annual bull sale. For perspective, this is steep country, ranging in elevation from 1,000 to 5,000 feet with the San Andreas fault running through it. Cows run on dry feed — 30 acres per cow — for about seven

Hereford.org

months out of the year. They have to travel, forage and be able to store some body condition. Although the climate here in the southwestern San Joaquin Valley is Mediterranean, temperatures can drop to single digits in the winter, though not for long. Yet, the wet, cloudy winters can take a lot out of cows. Grasses are mostly annuals, and include brome and filaree, which provides the most production. Matching nutritional needs to forage resources, the Sneddens turn bulls out Jan. 1 and calve across 60 days in October and November, with calves ready to take advantage of good feed Jan. 1. If there’s rain, there will be green-up by then, Austin says. Cattle receive a protein supplement on a limited basis from August through November, if needed. While pastures look like seas of straw at that time of year, they still possess an amazing amount of grub, which the cows know how to utilize. That’s especially true when it comes to Hereford and Hereford-influenced cattle.

Staying the course

“This ranch was bought and paid for by productive Hereford cattle with values that are ingrained in the breed, like docility, efficiency, hide thickness and maternal ability that make for cattle that can perform in every environment, raise calves, protect calves and milk, so that the cows are working for you instead of you working for the cows,” Austin says. “I like to think of making a cow low maintenance enough that a rancher has the time to attend his kids’ school and sports activities.” While the mentioned traits are inherent to Hereford, Austin notes how breeders’ concentrated efforts have improved the breed over time. Phenotypically, he points to udder and teat improvement, calving ease, eye pigment and maintenance issues, all of which contribute to less labor for commercial producers. He emphasizes improvement has been aided by selection tools available today. “Breed improvement in practical traits during my lifetime has been astounding,” Austin says. “The cost of labor has been one of the biggest issues in making cattle more practical, and that’s

something seedstock producers need to keep in mind.” He adds that an ongoing challenge for the Association will be continuing to provide breeders with new tools for further progress while maintaining balance and the breed’s strengths. All of that helped encourage Austin and his family to invest their time in him serving on the AHA Board. “The commercial focus was very important to me. It seemed like the timing for my thoughts on things lined up perfectly with the commercial focus of the Association’s Long-Range Strategic Plan. I ran for the Board with a strong commercial focus,” he says. One of the things he’s most proud of during his time on the Board is being part of the effort to make genetic testing more affordable for members. He also points to ongoing cooperative research demonstrating the breed’s commercial value. “The AHA is such a member-first, grassrootsfocused organization. I’ve been involved in politics, local volunteer groups and other organizations, and it’s really easy to lose sight of the grassroots,” Austin says. “I’m constantly amazed by the quality of the AHA staff and the level of customer service, compared to anywhere else — the quick and personal service. The AHA is people first. It starts with the members and is reflected by the staff. “The members of this Association are so impressive. I’ve been really humbled to have the chance to help, and I’m constantly humbled that they would let a cowman from the mountains help run the ship.”

Lead by example

Belief in volunteer leadership also stems from Austin’s family’s culture. “I’m an opinionated person, and I feel a sense of responsibility. I’ve seen when someone will complain about something but not want to do anything about it. If I’m going to have opinions about things, then I’d better be willing to do something about it,” Austin says. He is a living definition of forthrightness, with strong convictions and a respectful matter-of-fact attitude, more interested in facts than wishful thinking. Hang around his family just a little while, continued on page 26...

“I was very blessed when I got involved with management of the ranch. My dad and grandpa were very patient with the genetics they were making. They were very disciplined in only keeping the good ones. They had already built a productive cow herd with good udders,” Austin says. The Sneddens run about 400 commercial cows and 150 registered cows all managed the same way with the same resources. “This is very drought-influenced country,” Austin explains. “The number of cows we run year to year changes.” The constant drought threat also explains why the ranch is what Austin terms as infrastructurebased. There are 60 miles of water lines and more than 100 miles of fence. “My dad and my grandpa realized infrastructure would make this ranch,” Austin says. “It’s so important to be able to move water around.” A well provides water for the upper end of the ranch, about 5,000 acres. Three springs accommodate the 15,000 acres on the lower end. The commercial cows are about two-thirds Hereford and one-third Red Angus of various percentages of the breeds. They use 15 Red Angus bulls and 30 Hereford. The Hereford bulls breed the straight Red Angus cows, and the Red Angus bulls breed the straight Hereford cows. Snedden Ranch uses artificial insemination on a limited basis in the registered herd, choosing instead

to source walking bulls from across the nation. The ranch foregoes embryo transfer, in part because their pastures are so large, but mainly because that’s not how their customers raise cattle. Yearling bulls are sold in October, grown on long hay and four pounds of grain per day after weaning. “Our goal is to push them hard enough to see the ones with the ability to perform and show separation without getting fat,” Austin says. He explains customers favoring yearling bulls has increased significantly over the past 20 years. Marketing yearlings also coincides with the Sneddens’ philosophy of challenging their genetics. “Selecting genetics to use at a year of age is important to all aspects of the business,” Austin says. “It’s the same age as when you select replacements and the same age you want the steer mates to perform in the feedlot. If I want my females to breed as yearlings, then I’d better push bulls to semen test as yearlings. It puts more pressure on them, genetically, and that carries over to our cow herd.” Keep in mind, virtually all Snedden Ranch customers retain their own replacement heifers. “The Hereford breed offers the best of both worlds. You not only have a calf that will feed for less cost, on average, in the feedlot, but you also have a female that will produce calves year after year,” Austin says.

Proof positive

The Snedden commercial cows serve multiple purposes on the ranch. For one thing, they provide a drought buffer. The Sneddens don’t have to cut the purebred herd as deep when needing to decrease the stocking rate.

More important, Austin explains, “Our commercial herd allows us to test our product, which is bulls. Some of it is hard lessons. Maybe we find out we went down a wrong road, but our commercial cows help us find that out faster. It’s a great way to see whether or not our genetics are working.” When it makes economic sense, the Sneddens also discover genetic merit by retaining ownership in calves through the feedlot. Austin is a champion for the Hereford Feedout Program, which provides the same opportunity. When they don’t retain ownership, the Sneddens market calves at Overland Stock Yard. The cattle commonly end up at Harris Ranch. “We went to marketing at the stockyards from selling on video because they sell cattle really well and potential bull customers see the redhided cattle selling right up with the black-hided ones, and that’s driven some bull buyers to us,” Austin explains. Similarly, the Sneddens expand their buyer pool by selling three lots of five open commercial replacement females in their annual bull sale — a straight Hereford lot, a Red Angus lot and one comprised of red baldies, all top picks from the commercial herd. “People are coming back to Hereford to improve cow performance. Fertility and longevity will always return dollars every year to the commercial operator,” Austin emphasizes. “Hereford has done a better job of building cattle that can work in the feedlot and on the rail, and also as cows that can work on the ranch. I feel like the AHA has done a better job of paying attention to cow efficiency, more than any other breed.”

Bound Energy Commitment powers Hereford Seedstock Academy. by Wes Ishmael he Hereford Seedstock Academy is about both personal discovery and shared potential. It brings together like-minded young Hereford breeders and challenges them to consider what they know and imagine what is possible. “Sometimes you can kind of feel like you’re on an island. Being a seedstock person, you’re really focused on your own place,” says Braxton Butler, B&B Cattle Co., Virgil, Kan. “Coming here and getting to see all these people that are in the same stage of life and the same stage of their operation was really refreshing.” “I think being surrounded by these like-minded people fires you up and makes you want to keep going and believe in your breed,” says Bell Ward, NJW Polled Herefords, Sheridan, Wyo. “These are the people who I’m going to be friends with and be peers with for the rest of our careers in the Hereford breed.” The fourth Hereford Seedstock Academy included eight members from seven states; each selected from a pool of nominations. Some are generational cattle and seedstock producers. Others are beginning to chart their family’s history in the seedstock business. All have a deep stake in the business, are savvy and are already carving out respect in the business. During the intensive four-day academy, participants heard from experts from across the beef supply chain to learn learn more about various sectors, such as the latest beef packing technologies

and how large feeding organizations value cattle. They discussed breed improvement, from expected progeny differences and indexes to the value of genomics and American Hereford Association (AHA) research. They also got hands-on experience with AHA tools like MyHerd. “There’s lots of things and information out there that the Hereford Association has for us that maybe you don’t know about unless you know where to go dig it up,” says Shelly McQuaig, All Hours Farms and Barnes Herefords, Danielsville, Ga. “This whole academy really opened my eyes to a lot of that information and at least how to find it or how to pick up the phone and call somebody to get some more information about different programs and ways to market our cattle and build our customer relationships.”

Define and separate

Mark Core, Vermeer Corporation executive vice president and chief marketing officer, began the week in Kanas City, Mo., at AHA headquarters with an interactive session about program branding and marketing. “I think whatever you’re the best at, that’s what you should be known for. People should be able to naturally articulate what your operation’s really, really good at,” Core explained. “Go get what you’re good at because there’s a huge market out there, and you’re a fraction of the opportunity.”

2026 Hereford Seedstock Academy Graduates

• Jake Mundy, Whispering Winds Farm, Independence, Mo. • Joe Shaw, Shaw Cattle Co., Caldwell, Idaho • Bell Ward, NJW Polled Herefords, Sheridan, Wyo. • John Woolfolk, Woolfolk Farms, Jackson, Tenn.

• Colby Atchison, Four Diamond Livestock, LLC, Manhattan, Mont. • Riley Bradshaw, Bradshaw Ranch, La Belle, Mo. • Braxton Butler, B&B Cattle Co, Virgil, Kan. • Shelly McQuaig, All Hours Farms and Barnes Herefords, Danielsville, Ga.

These are the people who I’m going to be friends with and be peers with for the rest of our careers in the Hereford breed. — Bell Ward, NJW Polled Herefords, Sheridan, Wyo. For those who struggle with marketing, Core explained the best place to start. “The magic is what you’re going to say, not where you’re going to say it,” he says. “If you’re not defined as to who you are, if you’re not confident of that and you’re not staying consistent with that message, we call it the shotgun approach in marketing … you’re just shooting a shotgun and hoping something hits somebody, versus a rifle approach that’s very focused.” John Woolfolk, Woolfolk Farms, Jackson, Tenn., thought the marketing session one of the most impactful parts of the Academy experience, in part because of the related discussion with his classmates. “I feel like I learned just as much from talking to them about things they can do better, as they’re things I think I can do better, too,” Woolfolk says. Colby Atchison, Four Diamond Livestock, LLC, Manhattan, Mont., also gleaned a lot from the marketing session, Core’s expertise and the lively conversation with classmates. “It was very nice to actually sit down and take a morning with somebody that’s very knowledgeable in marketing,” he says. “We can take his ideas back home and use them. I don’t think the way marketing people think, so that was really insightful for me.”

Genetics at work

Seedstock Academy members saw plenty of commercial Hereford and Hereford-influenced cattle, too. Visting the mainstay herd for the breed’s National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) — Olsen Ranches Inc., Harrisburg, Neb. — has always been a highlight of the Academy experience. “It’s eye opening, just what the breed has been doing over decades and the amount of data they’re collecting to better the breed,” says Riley Brashaw, Bradshaw Ranch, La Belle, Mo. Likewise, visiting Hermes Livestock in eastern Colorado a day earlier offered valuable industry insight. Some in the breed are familiar with Anton Hermes and his operation, which has a commercial cow herd, runs stockers and develops heifers for themselves and others. Harnessing maternal heterosis by building Hereford-sired F1 baldies is central to all they do for themselves and their customers. Hermes relentlessly measures his cattle’s reproductive efficiency. “We go and see those black and red baldies, and they look great,” Woolfolk says. “Better management, better fertility equals more profit at the end of the day. And that’s obviously a huge end goal for all of us.” continued on page 34...

Shared knowledge

“Probably the most impactful part of the week, for me, was just getting to be one-on-one with other producers that are closer to my age and some of the more senior producers in the breed and getting to build those connections,” McQuaig says. “Probably more information was thrown at us than I will remember when I get home, but I feel confident in being able to pick up the phone to call these people.” Gleaning insights from respected, Hereford breeders was one of the Academy highlights. These veteran seedstock producers included: Bill Goehring, Goehring Herefords, Libertyville, Iowa, and Keosauqua Sales Co.; Kevin Schultz, Sandhill Farms, Haviland, Kan.; and Dale Venhuizen, Churchill Cattle Co., Manhattan, Mont. All of them opened their playbooks to the class about everything from breeding philosophies and hard-learned customer service lessons to leveraging genetic value and understanding market psychology. Venhuizen left them with an inspiring challenge: “No matter what you do in your operation, how you want to raise them, what you want to raise or how you want to do it, if you build the right kind of cattle, and people value your relationship and they trust you, you’ll be very successful.”

Mark Core shares his marketing and branding expertise he gained at the helm of the Vermeer Corporation’s marketing efforts.

Thinking and building

“It was really cool that all of us were about the same age, all had similar mindsets,” says Jake Mundy, Whispering Winds Farm, Independence, Mo. “It helped us really kind of connect with each other and build us a foundation for our futures together because we’re all going to be in this breed for the rest of our lives. Being able to have these close relationships like we have from this and being able to build on those friendships and possible partnerships, or whatever they are in the future, I think will be great for each one of our operations.”

Learning from Leaders Participants in the 2026 Hereford Seedstock Academy engaged with industry leaders from within and outside of the breed during the Hereford Seedstock Academy. In-depth discussion areas and tours included: the breed’s National Reference Sire Program (NSRP) at Olsen Ranches, Harrisburg, Neb., the breed’s mainstay NRSP herd; Hereford’s value in the commercial sector at Hermes Livestock, eastern Colorado; visits with leading commercial cow-calf producers and cattle feeders; insight to collaborative AHA research, including projects with AgNext and Colorado State University; current insights to bovine congestive heart failure with Colorado State University; marketing and brand development; harnessing herd health and nutrition; and understanding how cattle feeders view profitability. Academy topic included: • Developing Your Brand and Customer Experience • Telling Your Story with 1881 Creative • Understanding the Role of the American Hereford Association • Exploring and Applying MyHerd • Under the Hood of Breed Improvement: Where Hereford Fits in the Industry • Leveraging the Certified Hereford Beef® Brand • Seedstock Success and Service to the Breed • Marketing Hereford and Hereford-influenced Cattle • AHA Commercial and Feedout Programs • The National Reference Sire Program • Industry Trends • Hereford Research • Protecting Herd Health in a Changing Landscape • Exploring Cattle Feeding • AHA Board of Directors Q&A

| November 2026

In addition to AHA staff, Academy presenters included: • Jared Breining, Merck Animal Health • Hampton Cornelius, AHA director • Mark Core, Vermeer Corporation executive vice president and CMO • Mark Enns, Ph.D., Colorado State University • Bill Goehring, Goehring Herefords and Keosauqua Sale Co. • Anton Hermes, Hermes Livestock • Luke Lind, Five Rivers Cattle Feeding LLC • Mike Louderback, National Beef Packing • Douglas Olsen, Olsen Ranches, Inc. • Kevin Schultz, Sandhill Farms • Austin Snedden, AHA Board president • Scott Speidel, Ph.D., Colorado State University • Mike Thoren, Five Rivers Cattle Feeding LLC • Dale Venhuizen, Churchill Cattle Co.

Anton Hermes explained how Hereford influence adds value.

Dale Venhuizen, Churchill Cattle Co., told the young producers that building industry relationships is one of the keys to success.

The age range and small class size are deliberate components of the Academy design. The Academy is a key tactic for developing AHA leadership, which is a core strategy of its Long-Range Strategic Plan. “One thing I can take back is all the different ways that we can do things,” explains Joe Shaw, Shaw Cattle Co., Caldwell, Idaho. “The presenters talked about different ways to market and even different ways to talk to our customers. And a lot of my classmates talked about ways they’ve done things differently on their ranches. So, I think I can go back to the ranch with a little bit more confidence to maybe try a few new things.”

Douglas Olsen gave attendees a tour of the NRSP test herd.

“It’s a great privilege that someone my age has to be around so many people that are older than them with lots of wisdom and lots of lessons to teach. Unfortunately, it’s a seldom situation where I get to be around this many young cattle breeders, and in particular, young Hereford breeders that are all in the same place at the same time trying to accomplish similar goals with their life,” Woolfolk says. “That would be my absolute selling point to anybody that wants to do this. Hey, everybody’s from different parts of the country, but it’s a real unique and rare opportunity to get to spend a week with people just in the same age group as yourself.”

2 ANNUAL REPORT | 2026

ADD IT UP

emand for Hereford genetics continues to grow. Registrations through the American Hereford Association (AHA) increased 7% during Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26), and the AHA cow inventory grew by 2%. At the same time, 384 more registered Hereford bulls sold at auction year over year, as reported by AHA field staff. These bulls commanded a historically high average of $11,014, which was 35% more than the previous year. Keep in mind, the U.S. beef cow herd continued to contract during this same period. It was 1% less year over year Jan. 1, 2026, at 27.6 million head, representing the smallest national herd since 1961. That was 4.2 million fewer cows (-13.2%) since cyclical herd liquidation began in 2019-20. There are many reasons commercial demand for Hereford genetics is increasing, but I believe there are some key factors driving demand. First, Hereford breeders remain committed to continuous breed improvement while maintaining the breed’s inherent genetic advantages, which include fertility, docility, feed efficiency and cow longevity. Next is the breed’s focus on providing the nation’s commercial cow-calf customers with meaningful solutions, including Hereford’s

unrivaled ability to boost maternal heterosis in complementary crossbreeding systems. This commercial focus stems directly from the foresight of current and past AHA Board members who developed and embraced the current AHA Long-Range Strategic Plan and its crystalline mission to make Hereford the essential component of the U.S. beef cow herd. The AHA Board and staff continue making remarkable strides in accomplishing the Strategic Plan’s goals and initiatives to achieve this mission. You will find highlights of FY26 achievements in this Annual Report. Logic suggests the U.S. cow herd will likely expand by about 2 million head during the next cattle cycle. If so, that means approximately 65,000 more bulls will be required. This magnifies opportunity for the Hereford breed as it continues to expand its market share. Regards,

Jack Ward Executive Vice President American Hereford Association

AMERICAN HEREFORD ASSOCIATION 3

FOCUSED

Steps

merican Hereford Association (AHA) leadership and staff built on previous gains and carved out new opportunities for the breed during Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26), as they executed specific initiatives of the organization’s Long-Range Strategic Plan, progressing toward achieving the plan’s mission: Establish Hereford genetics as the essential component of the U.S. beef cow herd.

STRENGTHENING COMMERCIAL RELATIONSHIPS

Association staff worked alongside AHA members to build demand for Hereford-influenced cattle, while also offering ongoing opportunity for users of Hereford genetics to discover how their genetics perform in the feedlot and on the packinghouse rail. Examples of the Association’s work to further bolster Hereford’s influence in the commercial cattle industry include: • Elevated communication with feedlots through promotional assets, emphasizing the breed’s carcass quality, feed efficiency across longer cattle feeding periods and reduced risk of Bovine Congestive Heart Failure. • Helped broaden the reach of Hereford-influenced calf, feeder cattle and replacement female sales. There were 30 Hereford-influenced special sales in 12 states featuring 73,941 head. • Highlighted video auction demand for Hereford-influenced cattle, attending and reporting on demand for Hereford-influenced consignments in summer video sales. • Connected buyers and sellers in direct-trade marketing of Hereford and Hereford-influenced calves, feeder cattle and replacement heifers. • Leveraged participation in the Hereford Feedout Program and the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout with 101 participants from 23 states enrolling 927 head. Staff built upon the partnership program, which matches cattle from adult participants with NJHA members who want to participate but don’t have feeder cattle or cattle that fit the program’s delivery dates. Nearly 150 participants, including more than 100 young people from coast to coast, attended the educational Fed Steer Shootout Field Day in April. • Thanks to the ongoing generous efforts of HRC Feed Yards LLC, Scott City, Kan., Hereford Feedout Programs strengthen the breed’s connection to the cattle feeding and beef packing sectors, while increasing breeder insights about their herd’s genetic merit.

4 ANNUAL REPORT | 2026

• Recognized progressive commercial cow-calf producers who utilize Hereford genetics in strategic, complementary crossbreeding systems. Producers were highlighted in Baldy Advantage feature stories and compelling videos featuring powerful producer testimony on the value of Hereford-fueled heterosis. The AHA continued its commercial producer recognition program, naming the Crystal River Ranch, Carbondale, Colo., as its Commercial Producer of the Year. • Promoted availability of the affidavit program, which expands potential to qualify more cattle for Hereford Beef programs.

Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) began its fourth decade of serving domestic and international consumers in FY26, expanding brand awareness while gaining momentum and business, despite historically low cattle numbers and historically high consumer beef prices. Guided by a Long-Range Strategic Plan developed in FY26, CHB leadership and staff focused on growing demand and supply, while connecting customers with the dedicated producers behind the brand. Expanding retail and foodservice opportunities included: • Developing added packing capacity • Creating innovative new customer launches • Enhancing merchandising and digital support • Continuing focus on expanding Hispanic/Latino retail and foodservice opportunities Supply growth initiatives included: • Expanding qualifying opportunities for Hereford and Hereford-influenced cattle • Continuing development of retail and foodservice markets • Telling the Hereford story through quality, consistency, efficiency and rancher connection • Providing customers and industry partners with dynamic tools to support brand growth • Recognizing the dedicated efforts and success of key CHB partners: CHB Retailer of the Year, Ridley Family Markets, Twin Falls, Idaho; CHB Legacy Retail Partner, Rancho Markets, Salt Lake City, Utah; CHB Legacy Food Service Partner, Kohl Wholesale, Quincy, Ill.; CHB Rising Star, Shamrock Foods, Phoenix, Ariz.; CHB Retail Distributor of the Year, Affiliated Foods, Amarillo, Texas; and CHB Food Service Distributor of the Year, US Foods-Atlanta, Atlanta, Ga.

IMPROVING DNA COST AND CONFIDENCE

AHA members continue making significant genetic improvement by embracing the most advanced technology to aid genetic evaluation and selection. The AHA projects members submitted a record-high 41,822 genotypes in FY26. That was 8,327 more (+25%) than the previous year. Genotyping increased significantly in FY26, as members capitalized on lower cost stemming from AHA’s adoption of age-based pricing the previous year, which rewards breeders for submitting an animal’s DNA earlier in its life. Lower genotyping cost is also due to AHA designating Weatherbys Scientific as the Association’s DNA lab the previous fiscal year, which has also resulted in faster turn-around times. The current AHA member price of utilizing a 100K density genotype chip — considered the gold standard for genotype panels — is 70% less than it was in 2012. Keep in mind, DNA transitioned from a parentage tool to a necessary breed improvement tool. Its evolution meant moving beyond the assumption that every progeny inherited the same genetic makeup from the same parents. Breeders have moved away from testing only top-end bull prospects to testing entire calf crops, where the true value of genomics has merit. Consider maternal traits as one example. Over the last decade, the genetic trend increased 34% for Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF), 14% for TEAT, 12% for UDDR and 29% for the Baldy Maternal Index (BMI). During the same time, the genetic trend for the Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) increased by 22%.

PROVING HEREFORD ADVANTAGES

The AHA continued to set the bar for breed research documenting Hereford’s performance and advantages in real-world commercial cattle production. FY26 highlights include results gleaned from the multi-year, ongoing cooperative research project conducted by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). It is designed to quantify the differences between breeding either Hereford or Angus bulls to commercial Angus cows over time and retaining replacement heifers. Compared to the straight black females, 14% more black baldy females weaned their first calf at 2 years of age. Plus, 18% more of the Hereford-sired females bred back on time for their second calf and 14% more calved as 3-year-olds. Hereford-sired baldy females accounted for a savings of $90 per head per year in feed costs, compared to their straight black counterparts. That’s with hay priced at $150 per ton. The study began with 600 commercial Angus cows in a fall calving herd. Half were bred to six different Hereford bulls; the other half to Angus bulls. All bulls used represented the top 15% of each breed for its maternal and terminal indexes. Colorado State University’s AgNext utilized the UIUC data to conduct a life cycle assessment for a 1,000-head operation over 10 years. The model considered a 1,000-cow commercial Angus herd using Hereford bulls and retaining its own replacement heifers or using Angus bulls and retaining its own replacement heifers.

Although weaning weights were heavier in the Angus-sired scenario, increased fertility, breed-back and longevity meant more weaned calves over time in the Hereford-sired model. Aside from the associated economic impacts, this led to a 7.8% decrease in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity for the Hereford-sired cattle when considering only factors influencing weaning rate. When fertility, body weight and intake factors also were matched to the UIUC trial data, GHG emission intensity was 15.6% less for the Hereford-sired cattle.

EQUIPPING THE NEXT GENERATION

The National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) continues to expand its reach and impact with opportunities for its members. Working hand in hand, the NJHA and Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) remain committed to equipping young Hereford enthusiasts with the skills, experiences and relationships they need to succeed in the cattle industry and beyond. As well, the AHA continues to foster programs aimed at building future breed leaders. • HYFA awarded more than $230,000 in scholarships to support Hereford youth, thanks in part to generous industry supporters and endowments. The Foundation has awarded more than $2 million in scholarships since its inception. • NJHA members from across the U.S. and Canada took part in life-changing leadership development at the Building On Leadership Development (BOLD) conference in March at GKB Cattle’s Hi Point Ranch in Desdemona, Texas, and the late-summer Faces of Leadership conference in Boise, Idaho. • The 2026 VitaFerm®Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Madison, Wis., hosted 750 exhibitors from 44 states and two Canadian provinces, who exhibited 737 owned females, 270 bred-and-owned females, 23 cow-calf pairs, 60 bulls and 80 steers. The Sullivan Supply National Showmanship Contest featured 629 competitors. Beyond the showring, NJHA members competed in a range of competitions from photography to livestock judging while also networking and building skills through opportunities including the Future Professionals competition, Bridging the Gap College and Career Fair and the NJHA Meet-Up Power by Sure Champ®. • The NJHA Fed Steer Shootout continues to provide participants with firsthand knowledge of the cattle feeding and packing sectors while feeding their cattle at HRC Feedyards LLC in Scott City, Kan. HRC and industry partners, including Merck Animal Health and VitaFerm, help bring this experience to life with the annual field day which welcomed more than 100 junior members. • A special highlight was seeing both U.S. teams emerge victorious in the international Young Breeders Competition, held in conjunction with the World Hereford Conference hosted by the AHA. continued on page 6...

AMERICAN HEREFORD ASSOCIATION 5

• Eight young breeders from six states were chosen to attend the fourth annual Hereford Seedstock Academy, an intensive four-day learning experience designed to provide participants with insights to all industry sectors from thought leaders and industry influencers. Participants started at the AHA headquarters in Kansas City, Mo., and then made stops in Colorado and Nebraska. • The Hereford Herd Builder program launched to invest in the next generation and strengthen the Hereford breed’s future. The innovative program provides elite Hereford genetics to young breeders to help them establish or expand their herds while encouraging continued breed engagement. Genetics for the debut year come from pioneers of the program, Dale and Nancy Venhuizen of Churchill Cattle Co.

COMMANDING ATTENTION

National Hereford shows and sales continue to provide a public showcase for the breed’s genetics. Excitement generated by the cattle shown and sold at FY26 events was unrivaled as viewers saw the epitome of phenotype melded with the type of performance commercial producers seek. Hereford show and sale highlights during FY26, included: • Hereford breeders exhibited 1,676 entries at seven nationally recognized open and junior shows. • Hereford Night in OKC — the National Hereford Sale — averaged $19,718 on 27.50 lots ($542,250). Herefords in the Yards at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) averaged $33,176 on 34 lots ($1,128,000). • Hereford influence also rose to the top with F1 black and red baldies dominating prices in the Best of the Best Maternal Merit Sale held during the NWSS: 38 Hereford-influenced females averaged $4,908. • Hereford breeders exhibited 408 head at the 2026 Cattlemen’s Congress and 426 head at the NWSS — two of the largest national Hereford shows.

MAGNIFYING HEREFORD’S MESSAGE

AHA communications staff continues creating new assets and embracing new pathways to amplify Hereford’s message to commercial cattlemen through print advertising and editorial, in tandem with compelling digital media, such as videos, social campaigns and podcasts. • The AHA launched a new national advertising program, “Stamped for More,” which focuses on Hereford’s unmatched role in building and boosting maternal heterosis. It is backed by results from current and ongoing cooperative research demonstrating advantages of Hereford-influenced cattle, including fertility, longevity, feed efficiency and overall gains in production efficiency. Compelling videos and editorial assets support the new campaign and are available for member use.

6 ANNUAL REPORT | 2026

• Hereford World continued serving its loyal readership as a reliable voice and connecting point with coverage of the people, news, genetics and events shaping the breed. Baldy Advantage expanded the breed’s commercial presence with relevant analysis, management information and profiles of producers using Hereford genetics to improve and sustain their operations. • Following an intensive strategic planning process, the AHA rebranded Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) as 1881 Creative, launching new assets to enhance Hereford breeders’ opportunity to effectively tell their story and market their genetics. Opportunities include marketing plan development, advertising design, sale catalog production, designing and executing geo-targeted digital campaigns and creating direct-mail marketing assets. The AHA field staff serves as the conduit between breeders and the 1881 Creative team to elevate branding and marketing. • AHA social media followers grew to more than 85,000 with 6,700 new Facebook followers and 2,700 new Instagram followers. The Association’s website views totaled nearly 500,000. • The 44th episode of the Association’s popular podcast, 1881 aired. More than 54,000 listeners have downloaded the podcast.

INTERNATIONAL IMPACT

AHA welcomed 850 Hereford breeders from 20 countries and 40 states when it hosted the 19th World Hereford Conference (WHC) in FY26. Held in conjunction with the AHA Educational Forum and Annual Membership Meeting, the WHC, along with pre- and post-tours highlighted the breed’s impact on the U.S. cattle industry and growing demand for Hereford genetics. The WHC takes place every four years when delegates of the World Hereford Council meet to conduct official business aimed at breed improvement and opportunity development. The first conference was held in Herefordshire, England, in 1951. The United States first hosted the conference in 1960 in Kansas City, Mo., then again in Fort Collins, Colo., in 1996. Highlights from 2026 were many, including the presentation of groundbreaking research results; the international Young Breeders Competition, featuring 11 teams from seven countries; recognition of U.S. breed leaders and achievers; and ample opportunity to see some of the nation’s leading Hereford genetics. These highlights and many more are chronicled in Hereford World and the commemorative book — A Global Gathering. Of course, the key highlight for many was meeting so many like-minded breeders from around the world and sharing insights about how to make the breed ever stronger.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Association’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audits of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and, therefore, is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Association’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Association’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audits.

Supplementary Information

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The supplementary schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the consolidated financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from, and relates directly to, the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a whole. -K. Coe Isom, LLP, October 9, 2026, Lenexa, Kansas

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1 — NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Hereford Association (AHA) and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Hereford Publications, Inc. (HPI); Certified Hereford Beef, LLC (CHB); and Hereford Legacy Fund, LLC (HLF). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Collectively, the consolidation is hereafter referred to as the Association. Nature of Organization and Operations 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 CHB. Members and subscribers of AHA are primarily owners and breeders of Hereford cattle. The members and subscribers are located worldwide; however, the largest concentration is within the United States. HPI is a for-profit corporation that provides publication services to Hereford cattle ranches and publishes a magazine periodically.

CHB is a not-for-profit association whose sole member is 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. The duration of CHB is perpetual. HLF is a not-for-profit association whose sole member is AHA. HLF holds the proceeds from the sale of AHA’s building in 2018 and makes distributions to the parent for a portion of its investment income to pay for the rent of the consolidated Association. HLF was formed as a limited liability company on April 12, 2018. The duration of HLF is perpetual. A majority of the Association’s business activities are with supporters in the cattle industry. Therefore, a substantial portion of its supporters’ ability to honor their commitments is dependent upon the cattle economic sector. 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 reported 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 Association’s management and the Board of Directors. 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 Association or by the passage of time. Other donor restrictions are perpetual in nature, whereby 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 on the consolidated statements of activities. The Association has no net assets with 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 $630,670 and $740,455 were considered to be cash equivalents at August 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Association maintains cash on deposit in various financial institutions. Due to the nature of the Association’s cash flow, amounts on deposit in individual banks may temporarily exceed the applicable coverage of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation throughout the year. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Association expects to collect. The Association maintains allowances for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its supporters to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectibility of specific supporter accounts: supporter creditworthiness, past transaction

AMERICAN HEREFORD ASSOCIATION 9

history with supporter, current economic industry trends, forecast of future events, and changes in supporter payment terms. Past due balances of 90 days and other higher-risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectibility. If the financial condition of the Association’s supporters were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Association provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. 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. Management believes the compiled historical-loss information is a reasonable base on which to determine expected credit losses for trade receivables held at August 31, 2026 and 2025, because the composition of the trade receivables at that date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages (i.e., the similar risk characteristics of its supporters and its lending practices have not changed significantly over time). Management has determined that the current, reasonable, and supportable forecasted economic conditions are similar to the economic conditions included in the historical information. 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 at August 31, 2026 and 2025. 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 on the consolidated statements of activities as increases or decreases in net assets. Fair Value Measurement Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) 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. There have been no changes in level 1, level 2, or level 3 and no changes in valuation techniques for these assets or liabilities for years ended August 31, 2026 and 2025. 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, 2026 and 2025. 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 fixedincome 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. Revenue Recognition Revenues from member dues, advertising and subscription, and hosting database services are recognized over the term of the contract. The contracts are generally for a term of one to three years. Advertising and subscription revenue is deferred and included in prepayments for advertising and subscription on the consolidated statements of financial position. Revenue is deferred at the time of sale to the supporter and is recognized monthly, as outlined in the contract. At the end of the subscription period, the remaining balance is recognized as revenue, and reported as advertising and subscription revenue on the consolidated statements of activities. The balances of the prepayments for advertising and subscription revenues were $140,508 and $133,339 for the years ended August 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Publication and advertising, genetic services, creative services, retail, and marketing services are recognized when the service is provided. A five-step model is used to determine the amount and timing of revenue recognized. 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 lives of assets range 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 on the consolidated 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. Long-lived assets to be held and used in the course of business are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount of an asset 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. Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets and Liabilities The Association obtains the right to control the use of various assets under long-term agreements. The Association evaluates contracts to determine whether they include lease and nonlease components. The Association has elected to exclude any variable payments for nonlease components, such as maintenance and insurance, from lease expense. Leases are recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position as operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets with a corresponding lease liability. 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. Functional Expenses The costs of providing program and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis on the consolidated statements of activities. The

10 ANNUAL REPORT | 2026

presentation of expenses by function and nature is included on 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, 2026 and 2025, were $405,905 and $310,088, respectively. Income Taxes AHA, 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. However, AHA, CHB, and HLF are subject to income taxes on any net income from unrelated business activities. AHA, 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 flow-through 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 GAAP 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. Evaluation of Subsequent Events The Association has evaluated subsequent events through October 9, 2026, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

6 — LEASE OBLIGATIONS

The Association leases a copier from an unrelated third party under an operating lease. The lease requires monthly lease payments of $306, with a termination or renewal date in December 2028. The Association leases a postage machine from an unrelated third party under an operating lease. The lease requires monthly lease payments of $491, with a termination or renewal date in November 2028. The Association leases an office building from an unrelated third party under an operating lease. The lease requires monthly lease payments that increase each March, according to a set payment schedule based on a price per square footage rented. The monthly lease payments through August 31, 2026 and 2025, were $23,254 and $22,946, respectively, with a termination or renewal date in March 2028. Generally, the Association has elected to exclude any variable payments for nonlease components, such as maintenance and insurance, from lease expense. The operating lease does not specify an implicit interest rate. Therefore, the incremental borrowing rate was used, based on information available at the commencement date, to determine the present value of future payments when capitalizing the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities. The Association’s lease expense was as follows:

The PPP loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 1% per annum, with the first 10 months of interest deferred, and has a term of five years. The Association applied for forgiveness of the PPP loan on November 30, 2020, with respect to these covered expenses, but was not granted forgiveness by the SBA. On November 11, 2021, the Association renewed the PPP loan with UMB Bank for the principal amount of $535,600. The note was paid in full on April 21, 2025, and had a fixed rate of 1% per annum. Interest expense on long-term debt was $-0- and $429 for the years ended August 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

10 — COLLECTION OF ARTWORK

The Association has a collection of artwork, appraised at approximately $639,200 at August 31, 2026 and 2025, 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 on 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. Proceeds from the sale of collection items are used to purchase new collection items. The Association plans to hold the collection items indefinitely. There were no pieces added to the collection or disposed of during the years ended August 31, 2026 and 2025. The Association insures the collections with a policy that has a face value consistent with the appraised values.

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, 2026 and 2025, were $102,705 and $108,914, respectively.

Regenerative RANCHING

| by Maddy Westbrook

Regenerative RANCHING When Grass Changes, the Math Changes Regenerative RANCHING

Match your herd to what your land can support. pasture that can comfortably support a herd in May may tell a different story by August. Rainfall may slow. Temperatures may climb. Forage growth can taper off sooner than expected. Even in a good year, the amount and quality of available forage can change as the growing season progresses, affecting how much is available to graze and how well cattle can use it. That makes matching herd size to the land an ongoing management decision. “Just like any business, ranchers deal in supply and demand,” says Caitlin Word, Noble Research Institute education, partnership and outreach specialist. “When we are discussing carrying capacity, that’s really a measurement of forage supply, how many animals we can support with the forage available on the land.” Producers manage the demand side through the number and type of animals they stock and the amount of forage the livestock consume. Other factors, including wildlife, insects, drought and extreme weather, can also affect available forage.

| November 2026

Understanding both sides of the equation can help you set a stocking rate that leaves room to respond when conditions change.

Carrying capacity can change with the season

Knowing your land’s carrying capacity provides a starting point, but forage production can vary throughout the year and from one year to the next. Precipitation is one of the biggest variables, including how much rain falls, when it falls and how much enters the soil rather than running off. Temperature also matters. A cool spring can delay warm-season forage growth, while an early stretch of hot, dry weather can cut production short. Over time, brush encroachment and invasive species can reduce grazeable acres. “Good managers keep a pulse on this all year round,” Word says. “Forage production is largely determined by precipitation, not just how much we get, but when we get it.” One approach is to identify the point when most annual forage

production typically has occurred in your area and use it as a check date. That assessment can give producers a clearer picture of what they have available for the remainder of the year.

Know what you have

Making informed stocking decisions starts with understanding your land’s carrying capacity, including how available forage changes throughout the season. A grazing stick or even a yardstick can be a practical tool for estimating forage production. Regularly measuring forage can also help producers calibrate their eye and become better at estimating what is available over time. Pair that estimate with livestock demand. Calculating residual herd days or animal unit days can help determine how many days of grazing remain based on your forage supply and the animals currently stocked. If livestock demand begins to exceed the forage available for the remainder of the grazing period, consider what needs to change.

For producers who want hands-on practice with these calculations, Noble Grazing Essentials covers carrying capacity, stocking rates and other grazing management fundamentals.

Watch the cattle and the grass

The numbers are important, but some of your best indicators are already in the pasture. “Watching your livestock would be the most telling,” Word says. “Animal contentment, gut fill and manure scores are all leading indicators.” Look ahead of the herd, too. Is there enough standing forage to meet animal needs until additional forage growth occurs? Are cattle moving through planned grazing areas faster than expected? Are previously grazed pastures recovering in time for the next planned grazing event? Residue can offer another clue. If cattle are grazing harder than planned and leaving less plant material behind, it may be time to reevaluate animal numbers. During periods of rapid forage growth, producers should also pay attention to how quickly cattle are moving through pastures. “When forage growth is fast, move fast. As forage growth slows down, move slower,” Word says. Leaving cattle in one area too long during rapid growth can allow them to return to fresh regrowth before plants have adequately recovered. More frequent moves can help keep grazing in step with forage growth. As growth slows, grazing moves can slow, as well.

Make the decision before conditions force it

Drought can force urgent stocking decisions. Setting decision points

ahead of time can give you more options. A grazing plan provides a baseline. If cattle consistently need to move faster than planned, forage may be disappearing more quickly than expected. Slow pasture recovery can send a similar signal. A predetermined check date can also prompt you to calculate remaining forage and compare it with expected livestock demand. “Having a solid plan in place before this happens keeps you from having to make rushed decisions in the moment,” Word says. Waiting can have financial consequences. If drought forces many producers in an area to sell cattle at the same time, more cattle entering the market can affect the opportunities available. Recognizing a forage shortage earlier gives you more flexibility to decide which animals to market and when. Producers can also build flexibility into the herd before forage gets tight. One approach Word suggests is stocking a core cow-calf herd below total carrying capacity and using some of the remaining capacity for stockers or custom-grazed cattle. Those animals can be marketed more quickly if forage conditions deteriorate without immediately reducing a cow herd that may have taken years to build. Word also notes that stocking at 70% to 80% of estimated carrying capacity can provide more room to respond than stocking at full capacity. The right percentage depends on the operation and the producer’s tolerance for risk. Feeding may also be an option when forage becomes limited. Supplementation provides nutrients,

such as protein or energy, that standing forage lacks. Substitution feeding replaces forage altogether, such as feeding hay when there is no longer enough standing grass. “You need to be able to do the math and make that decision every time you encounter the issue,” Word says.

Start with what you can measure

If you have historically run roughly the same number of cattle each year, start by calculating carrying capacity and stocking rate annually. Develop a grazing plan and record what actually happens. Monitor pasture recovery and keep track of how much forage remains ahead of the herd. Over time, those observations can help you recognize changes sooner and make decisions while you still have options. The number of cattle your ranch can support will shift along with rainfall, forage growth and other conditions. Keeping an eye on both sides of the supply-and-demand equation can help you meet your cattle’s needs, maintain productive pastures and be ready to adjust when the grass changes.

Stepping into Sustainability

| by Sarah Beth Aubrey

Deliberate Progress — Part 3 How to pivot while protecting legacy. The first two parts of this series (Hereford World, July and September 2026) walked through the first four steps of the EVOLVE framework (see graphic). Now comes the question some may dread: “What happens if we actually make this change?” Even sound ideas generated through a planning process take a bit of pain to implement and to ultimately become new habits. The final two steps in the EVOLVE process — Visualize and Engineer — offer help by running scenarios to demonstrate how a change in practice will look and what it will affect.

Don’t forget that people matter just as much as economics. Sustainability decisions succeed when they fit the people managing them. Some questions to consider: • Who will actually do the work? • Does this reduce stress or create more? • Will this simplify management or add complexity? • Does this support the family’s long-term goals? Ultimately, sustainability should make the operation stronger not simply busier.

Visualize the future

Engineering the future means turning ideas into repeatable systems. Obviously, a broad goal of improving sustainability isn’t really worth much and is even harder to put into practice. There are things you can measure that affect sustainability, such as scheduling regular pasture evaluations, tracking feed losses, and of course, holding annual family planning meetings. Another effective way to engineer a path forward is to simply test and demo, before making a total farm change. Test one pasture, one field or one group of cattle. Pilot projects

Every management change creates ripple effects throughout the operation. A grazing change may require different water placement. New fencing may alter labor requirements. A grant-funded conservation practice may solve one problem while creating another. Looking beyond the first result helps identify second- and third-order consequences before they become expensive surprises. One way to scenario plan is to mentally “walk the ranch” six months, one year and three years into the future. Picture a typical day during calving, hay season or breeding season. What looks different? What becomes easier? What takes longer? Sometimes, the hidden costs (or unexpected benefits) only become visible when you imagine the practice becoming part of everyday life rather than a special project.

Engineer the next steps

reduce financial risk while generating information specific to that practice. Checkpoints are useful, too. Engineers constantly evaluate and tweak, measuring one item against another to build the best design. A farm and ranch can do that, too, by taking the time to build regular checkpoints into every new practice. After 30 days, 90 days, one grazing season or one production cycle, ask: • What is working? • What is more difficult than expected? • What is saving time? • What is costing more? • Would we make this decision again? Strategy is not a one-time exercise, and sustainability is built through progress, not perfection. Every thoughtful improvement strengthens the operation for the next season, the next generation and the next opportunity. Agriculture has always rewarded those who are willing to learn, adapt and continue moving forward while staying true to the values that built the operation. Let’s continue the conversation.

Kansas

The Kansas Hereford Tour Aug. 15-16 kicked off just north of Abilene at Jones Hereford Farm for breakfast. Attendees traveled to Oleen Cattle Co. in Falun where they learned the operation’s history and enjoyed brisket sandwiches, before touring Ringer Herefords’ pastures in Concordia. The evening wound down with the last two stops, Jensen Land & Cattle and Jensen Ranch in Courtland. The latter served 216 guests prime rib dinners in honor of their five decades in the Hereford business. Sunday dawned cool and rainy with the first stop at Walnut Grove Farms near Agenda for breakfast. The group toured Marc Hanson and Family’s pasture in Morrowville before seeing the Cerny family’s commercial Hereford herd. Reed Polled Herefords in Clifton served as the final stop, and attendees enjoyed a brisket lunch while learning about the operation.

From the Field In Passing Marilyn Sponsler, 91, Princeton, Mo., passed Aug. 3. Marilyn was born June 2, 1935, in Garden Grove, Iowa, Marilyn to Grace Ann and Sponsler Arnold Thomas Lovett. Growing up, she had a deep love and admiration for animals of all kinds, especially horses, about which there are many stories. Along with her younger brother, John, she raised American Saddlebreds, as well as hogs and cattle. She and her horse, “Flicka,” participated in and won many cross-country and equestrian events. She married Robert Lee Sponsler in the 1950s, and two sons were born to the marriage: John Robert in 1959 and Michael Paul in 1961. Their marriage ended in divorce in the early 1960s. Marilyn never remarried, though she had a few boyfriends through the years. Marilyn was the managing editor of Polled Hereford World in Kansas City, Mo., for many years and was the first woman to serve as managing editor of a well-known national beef cattle magazine. She was also the first woman to serve as editor of an agricultural magazine. In 1997, after retiring from writing, editing and overseeing every aspect of the magazine business, Marilyn returned to the Princeton area in 1998 to live near family. She loved playing bridge and was active in many bridge clubs. She was also active politically and was involved in several groups, including the Mercer County Republican Central Committee and the Republican Women’s Club. She was preceded in death by her parents, Arnold and Grace Lovett, and her brother, John. Marilyn is survived by her sons, John and Mike; grandchildren, Chrystin Sponsler, Curtis Sponsler, Katie Carson and Tyler Sponsler; great-grandchildren, Cooper and Chloe Carson; and nephews, Tim and Tom Lovett.

Dennis Wayne Laubach, 79, Okeene, Okla., passed Aug. 12. Dennis was born on March 28, 1947, in Okeene to Carl Phillip Dennis Laubach Laubach and Dorothy Marie (Osmus) Laubach. He was raised on his family’s farm southwest of Okeene. He graduated from Okeene High School in 1965 and earned a bachelor’s degree in agricultural education from Oklahoma State University (OSU) in 1969. While attending OSU, Dennis met Paula Jean Craig, and they married on June 7, 1969, at the First Baptist Church at Leedey, Okla. Dennis developed a passion for farming and ranching at an early age and was especially attached to the cattle that he raised. He was particularly fond of Hereford cattle. Dennis began his vocational agriculture teaching career at Adair-Casey, Iowa. Dennis and Paula moved back to Oklahoma after one year, and he then taught vocational agriculture in Hunter, Okla., for one year and at Geary, Okla., for five years. While at Geary, Dennis taught many successful students and made many lifelong friends. After seven years of teaching, Dennis took a position with Farmland Industries as a livestock feed and nutrition specialist, and the couple moved to Dennis’ hometown of Okeene. At Farmland Industries, Dennis became the leading feed salesman for his tri-state territory but declined a promotion to Kansas City to stay close to family and become a fulltime farmer and rancher. Dennis and Paula raised three children in Okeene: Paul, Ross and Victoria. Their farming and ranching business grew from an initial 80-acre farm to an operation encompassing lands in Blaine, Dewey, Major and Roger Mills counties. The operation included Dennis’ great-grandfather’s homestead north of Okeene, and Paula’s grandfather’s homestead

at Trail, north of Leedey, both homesteaded in 1900. Dennis loved his family and his work. He was well respected by his neighbors and peers for his animal husbandry knowledge. Dennis’ partnership with Paula created a real-world story of the “American dream,” secured by his timeless saying, “The harder you work the luckier you get.” Dennis and Paula’s accomplishments in their ranching endeavors never overshadowed their role as parents and grandparents, nor their belief that education was critical for success. Dennis was preceded in death by his father and mother, Carl Laubach and Dorothy (Osmus) Laubach; his fatherin-law and mother-in-law, Paul Craig and Nina (Cates) Craig; and a brotherin-law, Billy Joe Craig. Dennis is survived by Paula, his wife of 57 years; three children: Paul Wayne Laubach of Okeene, Ross Wayne Laubach of Leedey, Okla., and Victoria Denise Laubach and her husband, Carlos Urrea Morales, of New York City; two grandchildren, Alex Philipp Laubach and Sophia Marie Laubach, both children of Paul; Dennis’ older brother Jerry (Annette) Laubach of Stillwater, Okla.; his younger sister Connie (Mark) McFarland of Tulsa, Okla.; his sisters-in-law, Saundra Strickland of Pond Creek, Okla., and Janet Mathews of Elk City, Okla.; and many nephews, nieces, great-nephews and great-nieces. James L. “Jimmie” Powell, 96, San Angelo, Texas, passed Sept. 10. Jimmie was married to Nancy Bryan Hunt Powell of Sonora, Jimmie Powell Texas, in 1960. They lived a wonderful and very happy and active life for 53 years. They were truly meant for each other and are now united again. Jimmie was born on Feb. 22, 1930, to Virgil and Johnnie Dell Powell. He attended schools in Sonora and then Hereford.org

San Angelo, and he attended college at Rice Institute. Upon graduation from Rice Institute, Jimmie attended graduate school at the University of Texas, where he received his Naval Commission as an officer. He served on the USS Oriskany during the Korean War. When Jimmie returned home, he continued in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, pursuing his lifelong passion and career in the ranching business. Jimmie was committed to ranching and livestock agriculture and was fond of saying, “There is nothing prettier than a Hereford calf.” Jimmie instilled these values in his children and grandchildren, and his Hereford bull and Rambouillet ram sales continue to this day. Jimmie was a lifelong student — forever inquisitive and trying new things. He was a tireless and ever-optimistic entrepreneur. He was never hesitant to try a new venture and encourage others, especially young people, to engage. He was very unique in his optimistic outlook and was not concerned about taking a different stand than others. He would consistently pursue perfection over profit. Jimmie was deeply committed to his community. He was a natural leader and led by example. He served in leadership roles in many organizations, primarily in ranching and livestock, higher education and banking. His passions were many and his commitment was deep, and he received a number of prestigious awards for his work and contributions to livestock and civic organizations. Jimmie is survived by his two daughters, Lorrie Powell (Arthur) Uhl and Victoria Powell (Ken) Johnson; his grandchildren, James (Hannah) Uhl, Elisabeth (Elkin) Kleberg, Scott Uhl, Leon Johnson, Eli Johnson and Carmen Johnson McClelland; and his greatgrandchildren Hunt Uhl, Bennett Uhl, Lorrie Kleberg, Faye Kleberg, Kenley McClelland and Parker McClelland. He was preceded in death by his wife, Nancy Bryan Hunt Powell; his parents, Virgil and Johnnie Dell Powell; and his sister, Madolyn Powell Mertz. The family is forever grateful for his friendship with Pam Hamilton, the Eldorado “Bridge” club and the wonderful friends that facilitated the many golfing adventures. The family also wishes to extend their sincere gratitude to the special

people who helped take care of Jimmie in his later years, especially Catalina Huerta; his wonderful caregivers, Ida Luna, Mandy Sosa, Amanda Enriquez, Molly Robles, Monica Gutierrez, Becky Barnhard and Norma Ramirez; as well as the amazing staff at Hospice of San Angelo. Charles Edward Smith, Sr., 88, Wadley, Ga., passed Sept. 13, 2026. Charles was born on Aug. 28, 1938, in Wadley, to the Charles Smith late William Patrick Smith and Coralie Stevens Smith. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend, he lived a life defined by kindness, integrity and unwavering dedication to his family and community. Charles graduated from Wadley High School in 1957 and later served honorably in the U.S. National Guard. Following his military service, he built a successful career breeding polled Hereford and Angus cattle, known as CES Herefords and Angus, where he was respected for his leadership, wisdom and commitment to helping others. He was inducted into the Georgia Hereford Hall of Fame in 2021. To those who knew him best, however, his greatest accomplishment was his role as a loving family man. Throughout his life, he was deeply committed to agriculture, education and community service. He proudly served on the Georgia Hereford Association board of directors from 1991 to 1993 and was elected president of the association for the 1992-1993 term. His dedication to youth and education was evident as a founding member of Thomas Jefferson Academy, helping establish an institution that continues to impact generations of students, including his children, grandchildren and now greatgrandchildren. In recognition of his family’s enduring agricultural legacy and stewardship of the land, his farm was designated a Georgia Centennial Farm in 2017, an honor celebrating more than a century of continuous family ownership and operation. A lifelong farmer and dedicated steward of the land, he earned widespread respect for his commitment

to agriculture and his pursuit of excellence. Throughout his career, he received countless honors for outstanding cotton, corn and peanut production. He was involved in ownership of several agribusinesses over the years, including Producers Peanut, Premium Peanut and Farmers Gin and Storage. Among the recognitions he cherished most were his repeated induction into the prestigious 200 Bushel Corn Club and his multiple awards as a member of the Money Maker Peanut Club. His leadership and dedication to conservation were further recognized when he was named Soil Conservationist of the Year. In addition, his lasting contributions to Georgia’s cattle industry were honored with the distinguished title of Georgia Purebred Cattleman of the Year. Charles found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He enjoyed fishing, farming and cheering on his grandchildren and great-grandchildren at their activities — especially basketball, his favorite. Sharing stories at the red barn or on the back porch with family and friends were his best moments. Charles traveled many miles across the country with the grandchildren to Junior National Hereford Expos, exhibiting cattle. His gentle spirit, warm smile and willingness to help anyone in need left a lasting impression on all who knew him. He is survived by his wife of 19 years, Judith Bettilu Morris Smith; his children, Lynne (Chris) Oglesby and Charles Edward (Melinda) Smith, Jr.; three step-children, Darryl Morris, Dwayne (Sherri) Morris and Michele Brassell; his cherished grandchildren, Jennifer (Kyle) Gillooly, Adam (Lyndsey) Oglesby, Brittney Smith, Betsy Brown, Tom (Kelly) Oglesby, Kristen (Jon) Black, Dr. Charlotte (Carson) Hand and Charles “Tripp” Edward Smith III; greatgrandchildren, Grant Gillooly, Diana Kate Gillooly, McKenna Oglesby, Blakely Oglesby, Marlow Oglesby, Maddux Black, Ellena Black and Baby Hand coming next year (which he was most excited for); his brother, Wynder Smith; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members and dear friends. In addition to his parents, Charles was preceded in death by his loving wife of 48 years, Diane Cobb Smith; sister, Patricia Smith Edwards; and a great-granddaughter, Lucy Sue Oglesby.

Joyce Marie Stangle, 86, Marsland, Neb., passed Sept. 18. Joyce Marie was born in Rapid City, S.D, to Stella Joyce Stangle (McLaughlin) and Charles Lauzon. Joyce and her three siblings, Romuald “Romeo,” Charles Jr. and Bonita, grew up on a small farm in Custer County, South Dakota. Joyce often recalled riding her horse to school and living a simple life growing up. “I was no athlete, but I won spelling bees,” she said. On Sept. 24, 1955, at the age of 15, Joyce married Thomas Stangle. Joyce and Tom went on to have five children: Vicky (Ron Hula), Russ (Shirley), Larry, Kenny (Linda K.) and Linda (Bryan Sidwell) while living in South Dakota on a local ranch managed by Tom. In June of 1970, Joyce and the children moved to Marsland, Neb., to join Tom at Davis Cattle Co., where Stangle Herefords was established. Joyce became Tom’s right-hand woman. With a steady hand and a resolute heart, Joyce guided those around her with discipline and integrity. Her affection was measured not in sentiment, but in her support and devotion to the ranch and her family. Joyce’s discipline and dedication extended past the ranch and family, as she was a member of the American Hereford Association, Nebraska Hereford Women (honored as Hereford Woman of the Year), Log Cabin Extension Club, the local community card club and a sponsor for many county 4-H organizations. Joyce prioritized the cattle industry, creating a legacy with Tom that will live on through generations. In 2006, after Tom’s death, Joyce continued with Davis Cattle Co., operating Stangle Herefords with assistance from her son. Joyce cherished life on the land and the rewards of being selfsufficient. She poured her heart into the ranching lifestyle — working cattle in the barn, preparing hearty

| November 2026

meals and vaccinating alongside family for the yearly branding. Her family was her greatest pride, and she took immense joy in supporting her 12 grandchildren at cattle shows at the county, state and national levels. On the rare occasion Joyce had a moment to slow down, you could find her tending to plants, cooking in the kitchen or playing the piano. A talented musician, she could perform both “In the Mood” and “The Entertainer” entirely from memory. In 2021, following hip surgery, Joyce transitioned from the ranch to Colorado to reside with a family member, ensuring her continued care and independence. While living in Colorado, she embraced a new environment and unique experiences, including outings to local pop-up events, such as Denver’s Disney mini-golf and the Dr. Seuss exhibition. Navigating this chapter of city life, Joyce was diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer’s dementia disease. True to her steadfast character, her determination persevered. She continued to live life with grace and perseverance. Following her time living with family, Joyce transitioned to Grace Pointe, a local care community, where she continued to display her remarkable versatility and hidden talents. True to her character, there was seemingly nothing she could not do. She embraced a new creative outlet through artwork, enjoyed staying informed by watching the news and pampered herself during spa days, always taking care to have her hair just right — always with a cold Mountain Dew close at hand. While she had previously enjoyed playing pitch at card club, she adapted and grew fond of King’s Corner. Joyce never lost her signature spunk — she was never shy about letting fellow residents know when they had done something she did not agree with. Through it all, she remained steadfastly herself, taking immense pride in speaking of her five children, 12 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.

Joyce is survived by her five children and their families; her sister, Bonita (Robert Reeves); and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Joyce was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Stella Lauzon; her brothers, Romeo and Charles Jr.; her husband, Tom Stangle; her son-inlaw, Bryan Sidwell; and her grandson, Bradley Stangle. Joyce’s life was defined by her love for ranching, Hereford cattle and family.

• His unique pedigree is outstanding from top to bottom, and his elite calving ease (11.2) and birth weight (-0.02) EPDs are only the beginning. He follows that with a powerful genetic package including SCF (22.4), MM (33), MCE (12), MCW (60), CW (99), IMF (.86) and CHB (220). According to our analysis, this is an exceptionally rare combination of traits that are not matched. • Then the numbers really take off — Top 1% for Marbling and Top 4% for all three money indexes!
