ounded on the principles of sound genetics and solid management practices, Sandhill Farms is a family owned and operated Hereford seedstock business, located near Haviland, Kan., and currently managed by Kevin and Vera Schultz. The framework of today’s cattle program at Sandhills was laid by Kevin’s father, Ron, and grandfather, Roy. Ron and his wife, Arnita, still play an active role in the farm today. Kevin and Vera’s children, Brooke, Tyler and Courtney, are the sixth generation currently helping on the farm. The Schultz family uses defined goals to ensure the success and longevity of Sandhill Farms. Those goals focus on producing Hereford seedstock possessing value for commercial and purebred breeders, improving performance and carcass merit, and providing a solid foundation for future generations to be involved in the business. For its dedication and success as a leading performance-focused breeder, Sandhill Farms was named the 2010 Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Seedstock Producer of the Year during the BIF Annual Meeting and Research Symposium June 30 in Columbia, Mo.

The fourth, fifth and sixth generations of the Schultz family play an active role in Sandhill Farms. Pictured (l to r) are: Tyler, Courtney, Brooke, Kevin and Vera Schultz.

Dan Moser, Kansas State University associate professor of beef cattle genetics, says, “Sandhill Farms represents the core principles of BIF: excellence in production of profitoriented performance cattle through education and research, combined with

the values that make this beef cattle industry so great.” The operation began as a commercial cow-calf and farming business. Registered Hereford bulls were brought into the program in the continued on page 20...

October 2010 / HEREFORD WORLD 5

by Craig Huffhines, executive vice president chuffhin@hereford.org

Sustainability of a Robust Seedstock Industry This month, my commentary is not directed toward any one segment of our business or any particular individuals but is simply a humble perspective of the Hereford breed’s history that I hope will be taken in the right context. It is certainly not my job to prescribe breeding objectives for individual breeders; those decisions are certainly your job. However, I just want to make a few points and possibly provide a cautionary note or two as the Hereford breed faces one of the greatest opportunities many of us have ever witnessed in our business. There was a time in our breed’s history — within the last 20 years — when the production and marketing of elite females dominated many Hereford breeders’ breeding and marketing objectives. This still may be the case for some Hereford breeders, but there was a time when the pursuit for the female sale became so great the Hereford bull for all intents and purposes became a by-product — a steer by-product. For many, bull demand slid in the 1980s and ’90s for the Hereford breed for a variety of reasons. Consequently,

the goals of many programs changed. Breeders were driven to produce the great show female and sometimes ignored what made a good range bull because it was a time when even good range bulls were sometimes tough to sell. I think we can all agree that a show female breeding objective can sometimes be in conflict with a commercial range bull breeding objective. If you do not believe these objectives are sometimes in conflict, then I challenge you to study the 2010 Drovers-Vance Publishing Commercial Drovers Survey results and ask yourself if the majority of elite show heifers meet the bull selection trait preferences of the majority of commercial cow-calf operations across the country. Many elite, unproven females do indeed meet the commercial industry standards, but there is a risk that many are on the outer edge. Today, there are two very dynamic marketing paradigms developing in the Hereford breed that, if kept in the right perspective, could lend themselves to long-term prosperity, provided the Hereford breed doesn’t get caught up in old traps.

During the last three to five years, two parallel markets have developed for the Hereford breed: 1) a dynamic heifer calf market principally driven by heavy investment in the youth show program and 2) a commercial Hereford bull market that is witnessing amazing market-share growth with the greatest opportunity the breed has seen in the U.S. since post-World War II. It is hard to put these trends into historic perspective because many of the tax laws changed in the mid-1980s, removing cattle as an opportunity for a tax shelter; consequently, the economics of the business have changed dramatically, and frankly, there are not as many people or capital invested in the purebred business as there was in the middle portion of the century. However, even though there are fewer “Wall Street-corporate types” in the business, we are currently seeing demand for Hereford cattle increase at a rate many of us have never seen, both in the commercial bull market and the elite female market. During times of market opportunity, history has demonstrated that breeders sometimes take the path to easiest

prosperity and sometimes neglect longterm objectives. We have seen this in virtually every breed of cattle that have experienced prosperous times. The temptation is great to focus on selling the individual “great one” instead of producing the consistent “good ones” that our commercial industry demands. Another tendency during prosperous times is the temptation to sell deeper into our calf crop than we should, thereby compromising quality and fooling ourselves into believing that the demand is too great to pass up. There is no question the economics of our business are challenging, and we strive to maximize the value of our seedstock calf crop, but let’s take our lessons from the past seriously — the same lessons that our nation’s automakers, Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, learned in the 1980s and ’90s about quality, lessons that we have learned in our own breed in the last 30 years. A quick buck is not always a sustainable buck. History has demonstrated that sustainable and prosperous seedstock markets are

driven by fundamental economics with a commercial focus. We need not let greed lead our way like the prime rate banking industry last decade. Talking to many breeders around the country, I have heard many wise comments resembling the following: 1) We are in the beef business first. The purpose of a beef animal is to produce a high-quality consumer product. The show business should be a by-product of the beef business with all of the enjoyment the competition provides breeders. 2) A focus on the commercial customer will determine how well the Hereford breed will maintain a prosperous commercial business, which is fundamentally necessary for maintaining a vibrant seedstock business.

Hereford, Brahman partner on ad As part of American Hereford Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new national ad campaign developed to promote the value of Hereford genetics in the commercial industry the Association partnered with the American Brahman Breeders Association to develop a tigerstripe female ad that promotes the value of the HerefordBrahman cross. This ad will be placed in state and regional publications in the South. HW

3) Never sell something that you would not purchase yourself. Quality is critical in every new opportunity. We should never shortchange our commercial customers. New customers are hard to come by, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot less expensive to keep existing customers satisfied as opposed to cultivating new ones. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make sure our knives are sharp when we think of taking care of these new prospects. HW

October 2010 / Hereford World 7

Board Action The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met in Baker City, Ore., Aug. 12-13. The following are highlights of the meeting: After a tremendous year of increased demand for the Hereford breed, the AHA Board adopted a very progressive and challenging final version of a new strategic plan after several months of development. To review the Strategic Plan, see the September Hereford World or visit Hereford.org. As part of the budgeting process, the Board worked to allocate the resources of the entire organization in a manner that will best execute the priorities of the plan and maintain the services the members have come to expect. The key areas of focus in the coming year were identified as: 1) Continue to work toward the development of DNA tests that may someday be incorporated into the AHA genetic evaluation in an effort to increase the expected progeny difference (EPD) accuracies in young unproven animals. 2) Work to collect DNA samples on animals with known functional defects in an effort to search for tests that might identify animals that are high risk for such problems. 3) Expand the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP). 4) Continue to educate producers about proper on-farm data collection and contemporary grouping.

5) Explore corporate opportunities to enhance breed improvement tools. 6) Continue to participate in USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) and National Beef Cattle Consortium research related to Hereford genomics. 7) Work toward growing the research foundation fund. 8) Work toward alliances that might someday influence the marketing of 1 million feeder cattle through value-added systems. 9) Develop strategies to more efficiently promote and market Hereford-influenced females at a higher value. 10) Develop on-farm software strategies with technology partners that could make data transfer more user-friendly. 11) Work toward growing volume and revenue through the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) program with a breakeven financial in 2011. 12) Continue the development of the CHB value-added revenue stream, adding $200,000 of additional income to the company in the next fiscal year. 13) Develop a high marbling Hereford brand. 14) Develop educational tools through video media, online media and field service extension. 15) Establish a convention format for the AHA Annual Membership Meeting with educational and industry-related forums.

16) Expand the media exposure that seedstock breeders have to the commercial cow-calf industry. 17) Develop promotional contracts for breeders that bundle a variety of Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) and AHA media tools and expand creative service talents outside the breed that will generate additional revenue for HPI. 18) Streamline the use of credit cards and billing systems. 19) Continue to benchmark and measure commercial industries’ interest in Hereford genetics. 20) Network with ad media in an effort to best deliver the Hereford message. 21) Drive demand for Hereford products marketed on BuyHereford.com 22) Increase the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) membership through proper promotion and branding of the benefits the youth program delivers to young people in agriculture. 23) Bring multiple breeds together, along with a corporate funding mechanism, for hosting the largest seedstock youth show in the nation.

Additional Board action A new advertising campaign was approved that addresses Hereford benefits including disposition, ease of handling and female efficiency in the Hereford cross. In addition, the board approved a joint advertising campaign with

the American Brahman Breeders Association designed to promote the F1 tigerstripe female that will run in strategically targeted publications. The Board approved an extension to the agreement with the Wendt Group, the Internet host and manager of BuyHereford.com. The Board approved the recalculation of profit indexes once cow weight and heifer calving rate EPDs are firmed up and economists have defined the influence of those two traits. The Board approved an export certification program whereby Hereford and Hereford-influenced cattle that meet specific export standards can be documented for export trade through a fee-for-service program. The Board instructed staff to move forward in establishing the baldie registry program with permission to form a committee utilizing outside resources that might help with the process and bring back a plan to the AHA Board once a cost analysis has been conducted. The Board approved a restructure of the CHB LLC board of directors that will add key outside positions from the meat industry to the board, establish a rotation and retain at least four representatives from AHA on the board. The total board will be eight members with an option to go to nine members. The AHA 2010-2011 budget was approved with a projected consolidated income to the positive of nearly $4,000. HW

Hereford.org Banner Ads Drive Traffic The American Hereford Association (AHA) recently introduced banner ad packages, combining banner advertisements on the AHA Web site with advertisements in the Hereford World. Caryn Vaught, Hereford Publications Inc. production manager, says these packages were created in response to requests from AHA members. “While some breeders are just interested in purchasing a banner ad as a way to advertise, many other breeders often choose to advertise in the Hereford World or have AHA Creative Services

design a sale catalog for their sale or event,” Vaught says. “These packages give them an option to combine their print advertising with their online advertising, which is a great value.” These banner ads can be linked directly to the advertiser’s Web site or to an online sale catalog. When the AHA staff creates a banner advertisement for a breeder, the advertisement is created as a square and rectangle for use on the AHA Web site and in electronic newsletters. Advertisements located on the AHA Web site rotate

throughout the site and are visible on all popular pages, Vaught says. Each banner advertisement can be created with a maximum of two frames. Up to two additional frames can be added for $50 each. All information for banner advertisements — including information and photos — should be submitted to the AHA staff at least one week prior to the anticipated start date, Vaught says.

Pricing options include: • 1-month with 4 eNews or Sales Digest ads – $500

• 2-month with 4

eNews or Sales Digest

ads – $900

• 1 year with 20 eNews or Sales Digest ads – $1,500

• HPI Contract — 4 one-page Hereford World ads (4-color) and a one-year banner ad on the AHA Web site – $5,500

• Creative Service Contract — catalog, one-month banner ad on AHA Web site and 4 eNews or Sales Digest ads – Catalog bid price + $400

• 1 distribution in eNews or Sales Digest — $100 or $200 for top spot In July banner ads posted on Hereford.org had a total of 193,479 views. Most ads, both sizes combined, are getting about 6,000 views per month. For more information, visit Banner ads are created in two sizes and rotate throughout the AHA Web site, Hereford.org.

New Ad Campaign Released T

his month the American Hereford Association (AHA) released its new national ad campaign developed to promote the value of Hereford genetics in the commercial industry. Based on results from the Drovers-Vance Publishing survey, the Association has developed a three-ad series focusing on “Hereford — gentle bulls making black better.” The three ads are “This bull jumps heifer value, not fences,” “This bull produces better mamas, not headaches,” and “This bull pushes weaning weights, not pickup doors.” Utilizing data from the Circle A Ranch and Harris Ranch heterosis projects, the new ads tout the value of Hereford-sired females’ fertility and the added pounds at weaning when using Hereford bulls on Angussired females. The Association also partnered with the American Brahman Breeders Association to develop a tigerstripe female ad that promotes the value of the Hereford-Brahman cross. This ad will be placed in state and regional publications in the South. See Page 7 to view the ad.

www.hereford.org

With McCormick Co., an advertising and pubic relations agency, a focused media plan has been developed. The national ads will be placed in more than a dozen publications selected for their effectiveness in reaching target populations of commercial cattlemen. AHA staff invites state associations and breeders to utilize the campaign in local publications. The ads will be available in three size formats in color or black and white. The ads can be accessed at HerefordResource.com, and DVDs with the ads will be available at the annual meeting in Kansas City. This year AHA is also investing in Web advertising by placing ads on CattleNetwork and Cow-Calf Weekly e-newsletters. The Association has also budgeted funds to work with the National Association of Farm Broadcasters (NAFB) to distribute radio releases about the Hereford breed.

Genomics: A Hereford Update Over the past few months, it has been brought to my attention that there are a lot of questions in the minds of Hereford breeders concerning the area of genomics. With all of these questions prevailing, I think it is important to update the membership on how the American Hereford Association (AHA) has positioned itself to incorporate this new technology. First of all, I want to remind breeders that the AHA fully endorses the technology and has

utilized DNA for parentage verification and genetic abnormality testing. Other than these uses, I would like to give a brief rundown on what the AHA has done to keep its fingers on this pulse of DNA testing. The AHA and its membership were instrumental in the mapping of the bovine genome from its conception. If you remember, the original animal used was the Miles City L1 cow. In addition, Hereford breeders throughout

the U.S. provide DNA and financial support to this project. Second, many of our members provided DNA for the research and discovery of markers for the three known genetic abnormalities within the Hereford breed. Because of the work of Jon Beever, University of Illinois animal geneticist, and the Hereford membership, we have been able to add these markers to our parent verification panel with no additional cost to breeders.

The significance of this research has been the ability to test animals and market or purchase them with confidence that they are free of any abnormalities. This is useful to the purebred sector, but it has been instrumental in the commercial sector as your customers can find the bulls that they need to be profitable without being concerned about genetic abnormalities. Next, the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC) put together a project that would develop 50,000 (50K) genotypes on 2,000 beef bulls from various breeds. The AHA and its members supplied semen and information on nearly 500 Hereford sires (these included the carcass merit project sires). The intent of this project was to develop a population from each breed that could be used to effectively train or validate markers that would be developed for genetic improvement. In addition, this project was intended to evaluate the proper ways to add genomics into a breed’s genetic analysis. This project has been interesting, as it has shown 50K panels might not have high enough density. For sure it will not have enough density to be used across breeds, but it may have enough density to make some predictions within a breed. In addition to these 50K genotypes, the AHA, through various other projects, has access to other sires with 50K genotypes to bring the total number to nearly 800 head. With this total number of genotypes, we have provided different entities the 50K genotypes, pedigree and performance information in order to validate existing panels that are being marketed. In addition, we have shared this information with researchers to look at training a panel for all measurable traits in the Hereford breed. Finally, the AHA and some of its members have worked with the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium on the weight trait project. This project was developed to see if there could be a panel of markers put together across breeds to predict weaning weight. This project is in its beginning, but after the first year, it did not show much value. It actually showed about the same amount of value of a pedigree estimate and that was on a trait that is .20 heritable in the Hereford breed. Some changes and additions have been made for the second phase of this project, which could show much better results in future years. So, what do Hereford breeders need to conclude? First, recognize that the AHA has been a very active participant in the development of genetic markers. Second, please be aware of any tests that are being marketed outside the AHA today. www.hereford.org

Research in Crossbreeding Leads to Start of Hereford Program at Chico State

The AHA and its members have used a lot of resources to develop a population to validate the value of markers, and to this point we have not seen any tests that show enough variation of any trait with the exception of tenderness. If you are interested in adding tenderness to your herd, then these tests will have value. Second, the real value in the future of these tests will be to evaluate animals for traits that are hard to collect phenotypes. Those would include efficiency, fertility and other economically relevant traits (ERT) that can really affect profitability for you and your customers. So, I want to leave you with this take-home message. As I write this article, we have not introduced genomics into the Hereford analysis because we do not have anything that has been validated to the Hereford population besides tenderness. The AHA Board still believes that proper training and validation should be done in order for us to add this data to the evaluation. The AHA has been actively working with researchers and entities to find a panel specific to Hereford that could add accuracy and value to the genetic analysis. We will continue to use DNA marker technology to validate parents and test for genetic abnormalities. What can you do to help with this research? At the moment, we have been asked to put together at least another 100 sires with 50K panels. The cost of running these on each sire is a straw of semen and $150. If you are interested in participating or have any questions or concerns about genomics, please contact me at 816-842-3757 or jward@hereford.org. By the time you read this article, there may have been some research that has put together a panel that has been properly identified and validated to the Hereford population, and it will be data that we can use in the genetic analysis. When this happens, rest assured that the AHA will be sending you the message and working with the proper entities to get this information added to the analysis. HW

Dave Daley, California State University (CSU), Chico, associate dean and University farm administrator, conducted a three-year crossbreeding study and found an economic advantage to using Hereford bulls over Angus bulls in a predominately straight-bred Angus cow herd. Results of the study have generated significant national interest in establishing crossbreeding programs. The research, funded by the Agricultural Research Initiative, the American Hereford Association, Lacey Livestock, Harris Ranch Feeding Co. and Harris Ranch Beef Co., found improvements in feed efficiency, animal health and net economic return. As a result of the study, the American Hereford Association and other breeders donated cattle and embryos to help launch a Hereford program at CSU, Chico. “The breeding program offers one more area of field experience for students,” says Daley, “and gives students the opportunity to interact with an additional segment of industry professionals.” The three-year study was conducted as a “field trial” under real world range conditions on ranches in central and eastern California. Angus cows were mated to both Hereford and Angus bulls under typical Western range conditions. The hypothesis of the study was that there would be an economic advantage to crossbreeding, especially in the finishing phase.

Angus cattle have been effectively marketed to the consumer for such things as quality grade (marbling) and tenderness. Crossbred animals, however, are generally expected to exhibit hybrid vigor resulting in advantages in traits like longevity, health and reproductive fitness — which directly impact net profitability to the producer.

...Performance Herefords: Sound and Solid continued from cover

Seventy-five percent of all calves born at Sandhill Farms are produced using AI or ET.

mid-1940s. Kevin and Vera added the registered cow herd in the mid-1980s. “The most significant change we, as the fifth generation, have made at Sandhill Farms is transitioning from a strictly commercial cow herd to a predominately registered cow-calf operation,” explains Kevin. “Armed with today’s technology and the previous generations’ wisdom about the biological type of cattle needed to succeed in our environment, our registered program has continued to improve year after year. We are breeding cattle that enhance the profit and convenience traits of our calves.” The herd today consists of 300 brood cows, with about two thirds being registered and one third being purebred commercial. Sandhill Farms has tested more bulls in the AHA NRSP than any other breeder during the last 10 years. Kevin is eager to participate in research programs that help validate the value of Hereford genetics. Starting in the fall of 2006, AHA cooperated with Circle A Ranch testing Hereford bulls on its commercial Angus females, and of the bulls tested, 40% were Sandhill bulls.

Sandhill Farms is one of the most influential performance Hereford breeders today, Moser adds. “Compared with breed averages, their cattle have more calving ease, more growth, more milk, more marbling and more ribeye area.”

Sandhill program “The breeding program we have created is based on several generations of cow-minded breeders,” Kevin explains. “When the registered program began, the commercial herd had been in production for more than 50 years. The decision was made to breed the registered cows to follow the biological type of the commercial cows. In doing so, the base was set. However, when EPDs (expected

progeny differences) were established, as an example, we had more birth weight and less intramuscular fat than was acceptable. We used our complete whole-herd records system and began locating outliers for traits we needed. We have been able to identify cow families that maintained the biological type we knew the commercial industry needed but could instill intramuscular fat and drop birth weight at the same time.” The spring-only breeding program uses artificial insemination (AI), embryo transfer (ET) and cleanup bulls. AI is utilized on all commercial and registered yearling heifers and top-performing registered cows. The commercial and bottom-end registered cows are used as recipients in the ET program. Seventy-five percent of all calves born on Sandhill Farms are produced using artificial insemination and embryo transfer. All calves are born in the spring and tagged at birth. By maintaining complete records, Sandhill Farms is able to run a calf crop analysis each year to keep track of expenses and income. “In order to create the cow herd for the future, we are identifying the outliers from within the herd that will help us in our newer goals of carcass traits and curve-bending growth,” Kevin explains. “These outliers then are used as sires or donor cows to make the herd better. We have brought in a few bulls and cows as genetic tools to address areas that needed tweaked. Compared to the previous generations, faster improvement has been made using EPDs, ultrasound, actual carcass data and some DNA.” Lorna Marshall, ABS Global Inc. beef sire acquisition manager, says Sandhill Farms genetics have made a substantive impact on the Hereford breed and the commercial cow-calf industry. “Kevin was one of the first Hereford breeders to lead the charge emphasizing calving ease, while developing ‘the right kind’ of growth and enhancing carcass quality and yield,” she says. “All the while, he never compromised the maternal strength of his program. Much of the renewed interest the Hereford breed is experiencing within the beef industry is due to breeders like Kevin willing to embrace and lead change in a positive direction.”

Data minded “Certainly, tradition is a key element of our industry, which can at times make embracing change a difficult task,” explains Marshall. “Sandhill Farms truly adopts an attitude of innovation that is unusual to the typical seedstock producer. Always investigating new technologies and participating in programs, Kevin has tested cattle through every program that has become available to further enhance his knowledge and understanding of his own genetics. Whether collecting feed efficiency data through the Circle A Sire Alliance or utilizing the American Hereford Association (AHA) carcass test program, Sandhill Farms is continually on the cutting edge of genetic discovery.” The Schultz family has participated in the AHA Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program since its inception. Sandhill Farms has been recognized by AHA as a Gold TPR breeder for its commitment to collecting performance data continuously since the program’s inception. “The Schultz family is progressive and yet determined to have a program that provides a product that is built through sound, objective thinking,” says Jack Ward, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. “They do the research, test the bulls, collect and incorporate all the data, and then utilize AI and ET to make quick and meaningful progress.” Sandhill Farms has tested more bulls in the AHA National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) than any other breeder during the last 10 years. After being tested and proven, the top bulls are used in the breeding program. Outside bulls that are highly accurate and proven from multiple herds are also used. All cow herd records have been kept in complete, accurate data systems since the beginning. With each change of software, the past records have been converted; as a result, the Schultz family has complete records on all registered and commercial cows from 1993. “The records we create from our current database, GEM, are one of the most important tools we use on a daily basis,” Kevin says. “We can generate many useful calf, sire and dam

Environmental stewardship is very important to the Schultz family, as they hope to pass the land and resources to the next generation in better condition than when they received them. Conservation plans have been developed for all the acreage used by Sandhill Farms. A rotational grazing program has been implemented to better maintain pastures. In addition, minimum tillage and strip tillage is used to protect the land from wind erosion.

“Culling cows and turning generations is one of our passions in cattle breeding. The ability to make each generation better is our goal.” — Kevin Schultz commercial demand for their bulls, but Sandhill Farms has probably marketed as many herd sires to purebred breeders as any operation over the last several years.” For the last 14 years, the Schultz family has participated in the National Western pen show and has had the champion or reserve pen the last five years.

production records, EPDs, ultrasound reports, etc. All data is entered from birth to processing. The adjusted weights, scan records, and all sire and dam records are then downloaded from AHA. This information is used for all culling and breeding decisions. All semen, embryo and animal inventories are kept, as well as customer records and sale reports.”

Marketing strategy After selling bulls private treaty for years, Sandhill Farms hosted its first production sale in April 2008. Currently, the Schultz family sells 65 bulls per year, with 30% going to purebred breeders and 70% going to commercial breeders. Kevin says selling private treaty was enjoyable, as he could spend more time with the customers. “Due to the fact we do not have as much one-on-one time sale day, we provide every piece of information gathered on the bulls in the sale catalog,” Kevin says. “In addition to the pedigree, 31 different pieces of information are listed in our catalog.” The 2010 sale bulls’ average EPDs ranked in the top 1% of the breed in two of the four indexes and in the top 10% in the remaining indexes. An indication of Kevin’s success as a marketer, as well as a testament to his breeding program, is the fact that his first sale ranked in the top five of the Hereford breed during 2009. The farm’s 2010 sale is positioned to rank just as high.

“Culling cows and turning generations is one of our passions in cattle breeding,” Kevin says. “The ability to make each generation better is our goal. Cows are always culled for the obvious things: fertility, performance, udders, physical problems, disposition and the list goes on. As we move forward with our genetic program, turning the generations with the daughters of proven sires is the fastest way we will move toward our goals. “To this point, we have moved to keeping all our registered heifers that meet our selection standards. To make room for these females, we added another section to our annual spring bull sale. We sold all our 5-year-old cows that had a heifer calf at side. These are not problem cull cows, as those would have gone to the sale barn, but mid-age cows with value. The idea of selling those with heifer calves will allow us to keep and add value to the bull calves at a year of age.” Semen sales are another marketing venue for Sandhill Farms. The farm currently has two bulls owned or leased by ABS Global. One of the bulls is the first Hereford to be in the top 13 in volume semen sales of all breeds. “ABS has been honored to market several Sandhill Farms bulls including Progress and Ribeye,” says Marshall. “Both bulls have made significant impacts on our sales domestically and internationally, in both seedstock and commercial herds. Not only have they enjoyed incredible AI stud and

Focus on the customer Customer service is a high priority at Sandhill Farms. The family works to retain current customers and to turn contacts into repeat buyers. With this in mind, Sandhill Farms offers several customer services, including free bull delivery, sight-unseen guarantee for buyers who cannot attend the sale and customer consignments of their baldie heifers to the Sandhill Farms annual production sale. In addition, Kevin makes herd visits to become more familiar with customer needs. It’s interesting to note that the 2010 BIF Commercial Producer of the Year, Downey Ranch of Wamego, Kan., purchased its first Hereford bulls this past April. And the farm Downey chose to buy bulls from was Sandhill Farms. “Sustained excellence and innovation can always be traced back to dedication, commitment

Sandhill Farms Facts Average number of bulls sold/year: 65 % of bull calf crop sold as breeding bulls: 70% % sold to purebred breeders: 30% % sold to commercial breeders: 70% Number of bulls in current sire summary: Proven Sire Summary — 14 Young Sire Summary — 12 National Reference Sire Summary — 8 Carcass Sire Summary — 8

and integrity, and, in my opinion, Sandhill Farms exemplifies and embodies those traits,” Marshall says. “Sandhill Farms has been able to succeed based on genetic excellence, dedication to the industry and a keen ability to understand the entire production system from conception to consumption.” HW

From the cow herd that has worked for generations, the Schultz family is maintaining muscle, volume, udder quality and performance. Next to selling bulls, their favorite thing to do is cull the cow herd. This enables them to improve the overall quality of their cattle. They believe when buying cattle from a seedstock producer, you are buying the benefits and discipline of their culling program. www.hereford.org

Movie. (The DVD release of the movie hit shelves on Aug. 17.) Particularly from her movie experiences, Grandin has learned that the public is very curious about what livestock producers do, and she says, “I think in ag one of the things we need to be doing is show others what we do every day when we care for livestock.” Grandin tells that during her HBO movie premiere, she was surprised that rather than talk about the film, the reporters wanted to know about the beef industry and slaughter plants. “The public is curious about regular stuff, and we [people in the industry] should be the ones to tell them our story,” Grandin says.

Show Others Animal handling expert Temple Grandin urges livestock producers to reach out to the public. by Kindra Gordon

or the past three decades, animal handling expert Temple Grandin has devoted her career to telling livestock producers, feedlots and packing plants how to design animal handling facilities and manage livestock in a low-stress manner. Now, she is encouraging producers to share with the public the care and commitment they have for the livestock they raise. Grandin, who is autisitic, credits her ability to think in pictures with giving her unique

insights into animal behavior, and the Colorado State University animal science professor has earned international acclaim for her expertise in animal handling. Most recently, her work has included conducting animal welfare audits at meat plants for big retail businesses including McDonald’s and Wendy’s. And, this past February, her life was the subject of the HBO movie “Temple Grandin,” starring Claire Danes. On Aug. 29 the movie won seven Emmy Awards including Outstanding Made for Television

Temple tidbits • Born in 1947 and diagnosed with autism in 1950 • Earned her doctorate in animal science at the University of Illinois in 1989 • Authored numerous books including “Animals Make Us human,” “Animals in Translation,” “humane Livestock handling,” “Improving Animal Welfare,” “Livestock handling and Transport,” “Thinking in Pictures” and “Emergence: Labeled Autistic”

• Named among Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world for 2010

24 Hereford World / October 2010

PhOTO COUrTESy OF ANGUS PrODUCTIONS INC.

Utilizing YouTube Grandin has been posting video footage of proper animal handling on YouTube for nearly two years, and she encourages ranchers to start doing the same. She suggests starting with a video tour of the ranch — showing simple everyday things like cattle on pastures and feeding the cattle. She adds, “It doesn’t have to be a professional video; have your teenage son or daughter help you with it.” Grandin reports that her YouTube posts have had more than 300,000 views — and says those numbers prove that nice videos can be more popular than some of the nasty animal abuse footage. “I’ve gotten several nice comments, and I see it as a great way to educate others about the cattle industry,” she says. Grandin acknowledges that occasionally nasty comments will come in, but they are in the minority. She advises that if you choose to respond to negative comments, control your anger and share facts with the individual. Grandin is hopeful that by building relationships with the public — through YouTube and social networking sites — they will better understand how farmers and ranchers care for the livestock and are stewards of the land. And she says it’s possible someday that the public will become advocates for the industry as well.

Give them a decent life That said, she reminds producers to make low-stress animal handling a priority. Temple says, “You’ve got to look at everything you do as if someone were watching. Ask yourself, ‘What would my wedding guests think of this?’” She adds, “I’m often asked ‘How can you care about animals and eat meat?’” Her answer: As long as animals have been given a decent life, she has no issues with eating meat. She reiterates, “We’ve got to give them a decent life.” HW

Reminders for proper animal handling Animal behaviorist and Colorado State University professor Temple Grandin’s primary advice to people handling livestock is to get rid of any distractions. Grandin explains that because she is autistic, she is a visual thinker just like animals. She says, “Autistic people and animals pick up on details” — and it’s those details that are important in improving animal handling. She adds, “One of the things I want people to do is to become much more observant and remove the distractions affecting livestock. Little things like noise and shadows can ruin a well-designed facility because animals will balk and turn back or refuse to move.”

• Grandin’s No. 1 rule for people around livestock is to remain quiet.

• Don’t keep animals penned alone. “One of the most dangerous animals is the lone animal,” says Grandin. Being alone is highly stressful, so bring some other animals in with it, she suggests.

• If animals get too excited, Grandin says they need to be given 20-30 minutes to calm down before you try to work them.

• A flag can drive cattle effectively, says Grandin. If a stubborn animal refuses to move, she says a hot shot should be used on them one time and then put away.

• Keep the color of facilities the same so cattle don’t balk at differences in light and dark.

• Use rubber mats in front of a chute (or loading ramp) to prevent cattle from slipping as they move out.

• Also note any items on the ground — such as a pipe or board in the alley — that cattle may balk at. Either remove it, or cover it with dirt so they don’t notice it. If the open sides along the alley or chute bother them, consider covering those with plywood as well.

Five Contend for AHA Board The American Hereford Association (AHA) nominating committee has announced five Hereford breeders vying for positions on the AHA Board. Tom Boatman

A third generation Hereford breeder, Tom Boatman, along with his wife, Tammy, manages JWR Land & Cattle Co., Rockmart, Ga. JWR was established in 1990 by the late Wesley Rakestraw with about 20 cows. Today, the farm includes 600 acres in northwest Georgia with 125 registered Hereford females along with 75 commercial females utilized in an embryo transfer program. JWR hosts an annual production sale managed by the Boatmans on the first Saturday in May, consisting of approximately 60-70 lots. In addition, 20 bulls are sold private treaty each year; steers are marketed through special Hereford steer sales; and other cattle are also marketed through various consignment sales. Through the years the junior show heifer market has increased for JWR with a lot of new customers enthusiastic to learn more about the show industry. Two years ago the Boatmans started hosting an annual JWR show clinic for their customers, covering topics such as feeding, breeding, health care, daily care (rinsing, brushing, blowing), showmanship, clipping and fitting. Since being at JWR, Tom has helped host the Georgia Junior Field Day, National Hereford Tour and several Farm Bureau tours. Prior to joining JWR in 2003, Tom worked as show and sale cattle manager for Hereford breeders including Tennessee River Music and McMinn Ranches. While at TRM, Tom had the opportunity to attend and display cattle at the World Hereford Conference in Ft. Collins, Colo. Born and raised in Alabama, Tom has been involved in 4-H his whole life and has been a member of the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association and a board member for the Alabama Hereford Association. Tom is currently a member of the Georgia Cattlemen’s Association, has served on the Georgia Hereford Association board for four years and is also on the board for the Tennessee Hereford Marketing Program. He has also judged several shows throughout the Southeast. Tom and Tammy have two children.

Keith Fawcett

South Dakota Hereford breeder Keith Fawcett is managing partner of Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch, Ree Heights. The ranch maintains a 900head herd consisting of 450 purebred Herefords and 450 commercial females. Fawcetts market 90 bulls annually through private treaty and in various consignment sales including the American Royal and the National Western. They also have a bred heifer development program in which they breed 250 Hereford, Angus and F1 black baldie females that have been merchandized throughout the country. They background 1,200 feeders each winter with a target weight of 800-900 lb. They have entered cattle in the National Hereford Feedout (formerly Genetic Outreach Program) as a tool to gain information on feedlot and carcass data. The Fawcetts strive to produce top-genetic and performance-tested animals for their customers. Keith uses artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET), along with performance testing and ultrasound, to further enhance top genetics in the cow herd.

The family has shown cattle across the U.S., including the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). Keith says going to shows as a family is a great learning experience for everyone, is a chance to meet new friends and is a fine advertising tool. In addition, the competition builds character. Keith is currently serving his second term on the South Dakota Hereford Association board as vice president. He has also served as breed representative to the South Dakota Beef Breeds Council. Keith and his wife, Cheryl, were South Dakota Junior Hereford Association advisors from 1994 to 2004 and helped organize the 2002 JNHE in Sioux Falls. He currently serves on the board of directors of the Western Junior Livestock Show, a five state regional youth show. He was a director of the Hand County Livestock and Crop Improvement Association for 25 years and is a 4-H leader and a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church. Keith and his wife, Cheryl, have four children and one grandson.

Richard Gebhart

Oklahoma Hereford breeder Richard Gebhart and his wife, Susan, own and operate Beacon Hill Ranch near Claremore. Beacon Hill Ranch was started in 1907. The land and the cattle have been handed down from one generation to the next, giving five generations the opportunity to live the legacy and pass on the commitment and passion for both the land and Hereford cattle. The Beacon Hill herd currently consists of about 100 Hereford females as well as a smaller commercial herd. Since assuming responsibility for the herd in 1992, the Gebhart family has worked to find the optimal mix of practices handed down from Susan’s granddad combined with “book learning” and experience learned elsewhere which best suits their cattle and environment. The Gebharts use both AI and ET to propagate the genetics that fit the needs of their customers. The goal of their breeding program is simple: they breed for good cattle — those who do their job with minimal assistance, calm dispositions, do-ability, superior fertility and carcass merit. Working with organizations at the state and national levels to promote Hereford cattle and encourage youth has been a priority for Richard for the last 15 years. He is the immediate past president of the Oklahoma Hereford Association and served as chairman of the 2009 Junior National Hereford Expo hosted in Tulsa. He is also active in various cattle organizations, including National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, where he is currently serving as a federation division director and a member of the federation structure working group. He’s also a past Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association director and currently serves as a director on the Oklahoma Beef Council and the Oklahoma Club Calf Association. In addition, he currently works off the farm at the University of Tulsa as professor of operations management and director of assessment in the Collins College of Business. Richard and his wife, Susan, have two daughters and a granddaughter.

Steve Lambert

Steve Lambert, Oroville, Calif., is a second-generation Hereford breeder. His family owned and operated Creekside Ranch, which was one of the largest Hereford cattle operations in California. Steve was active showing cattle as a youth on the state and national levels. Today Lambert Ranch is a diversified enterprise, growing high-quality grain, hay and Hereford and Angus cattle. A Gold TPR (Total Performance Records) Breeder, Lambert Ranch has bred several Dams of Distinction. The ranch’s main focus is on raising herd bulls that continue to improve the Hereford breed. Last year Genex purchased Lambert Remedy 2030 75R. Each October the Lambert family co-hosts the “Next Generation Bull Sale” with Sonoma Mountain Herefords. The sale includes 50-plus bulls that attract purebred and commercial breeders from across the West. As the demand grows for Hereford cattle, so does the Lambert cow herd. Because the ranch has a closed herd, the last cattle purchased were the top end of the Creekside Ranch herd in 2002. Lambert Ranch’s cattle have to produce every year or they go to town, no exceptions. Steve says that this strict culling makes their cow herd a very fertile group that puts pounds on the scale. He feels that as the Hereford breed regains its market share, it is imperative that breeders don’t lose focus on what is truly important — sound, fertile and efficient cattle. Steve has served as a director of the California / Nevada Polled Hereford Association since 2002. In addition, he has been very active in local government and other community organizations, including serving as mayor of Paradise and being Butte County Supervisor. The Lambert family also owns and manages a feed and garden store. Steve and his wife, Cindy, have three children.

Dale Venhuizen

Dale Venhuizen, and his wife, Nancy, own and operate Churchill Cattle Co., near Manhattan, Mont. Dale grew up on his family’s Hereford ranch and graduated from Montana State University in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in agricultural business. In 1980 Dale and Nancy formed Churchill Cattle Co., which is devoted exclusively to the production and marketing of superior Hereford seedstock. Churchill Cattle Co. produces about 200 registered calves per year, mostly from AI and ET. Dale markets bulls by private treaty and females through an auction or Internet sale. The products of the Churchill program are working in many states and several foreign countries. The couple also markets commercial replacement heifers and feeds out Hereford steers. Dale served on the AHA Board from 2000-2004 and was president in 2004. He was a delegate to the 2004 World Hereford Conference and has served as Montana Hereford Association president. He has been involved in facilitating Hereford feeder calf sales for 10 years. Dale has also judged Hereford shows throughout the U.S. and Canada. He is currently serving on the board of trustees of Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Mich. He is a past president of the Manhattan Christian School Board and has served on his local church council as elder and deacon. Dale and Nancy have four daughters. continued on page 32...

...Annual Meeting continued from page 31

All five candidates had a chance to respond to three questions. Below are the questions and the candidates’ responses. Why are you running for the Board? Boatman

The first year I worked at JWR, several breeders wanted Wesley to run for the Board, and he really wanted to, but he felt like he was too involved in other boards to do as good of a job as he could. He said to me, “Why don’t you run, Tom?” At that time I felt like I wasn’t ready. I really feel like I’m ready now with more knowledge, and it would be an honor and privilege to give back to the Hereford breed, which is my passion in life.

Fawcett

Herefords have been grazing the prairies of this ranch for over a hundred years. We attribute the ranch’s success to the Hereford breed and to the friends and customers we have met through the AHA. As a way of saying thank you, I would feel privileged and honored to be able to contribute to the success of the AHA and represent the breeders and producers of this great breed.

Gebhart

I left the active Army to teach at the University of Tulsa in 1992. At that time, we had just learned Susan’s granddad, Floyd Sloan, had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. That news presented us with a big choice — sell out of the Hereford business or leave the active military to come home to the cattle. Although the Army had been my life, it took less than an afternoon to make the decision. Within a couple of months, we moved directly from the Command and General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., to Claremore, America. We’ve never looked back, never regretted the choice and have always remembered the instruction that came in one of Floyd’s last lucid conversations with us, “Take care of the cows, kids. They’ll take care of you.” That’s what we all do as Hereford breeders — take care of the cows. In the greater sense, that means take care of the breed, the business and the industry. I believe we all have a responsibility to offer our time and talents to the Association and our fellow breeders. Some points in our lives are better for that than others — at the moment I have the time, and I hope my education and experience will be valuable to the Association. There are some real challenges and opportunities for the Hereford breed and for our industry right now. It’s important that we meet the challenges with confidence, wisdom and tenacity. Additionally we have to actively seek and make the most of the opportunities. Some challenges may require us to strengthen our ties with others in the industry, while some may require us to differentiate ourselves. There’s no doubt strength in partnerships will often be to our advantage, while speaking about the Hereford breed’s individual strengths will be better at other times. The trick will be in discerning exactly when to do what. That’s where an AHA Board with diverse backgrounds and experience serves our Association very well. The AHA Board does a good job of riding for the brand. They are required to think “inside the box” some days and “outside the box” on others, always fueled by an unwavering belief in our breeders and our cattle. It would be an honor to join in this effort and serve the Association — in essence to help “take care of the cows” at the national level.

Lambert

The first thing that comes to mind is the great honor to sit and help guide the Board of this breed. With that said, I know I can contribute to the Association with my unbiased, open-minded and forward-thinking approach. I do this daily whether it be in my retail business, ranching operation or my elected position as the county supervisor. I’m very approachable and like to work with people to reach their goals. I feel having

measure and demonstrate progress. The objective of developing genomic information will be key in this area. Development of a communication strategy that communicates the advantages of Hereford cattle should remain a priority. The last common element is our CHB program. The strategic intent statement added to the current plan is achievable. Herd book cow numbers increasing by 1% a year, registration growth of 3-5% a year and a 22% commercial bull market share are all reasonable, attainable and appropriate. The movement toward these goals should be communicated to members clearly and consistently. The tactics concerning animal welfare and exploring a crossbreed registry program are intriguing and hold great promise. My last thought is that technology is not going away, as evidenced in this summer’s Hereford World focus on technology and social media. Technology offers efficiency tools and can provide the breed a competitive advantage. Empowering our breeders to measure and communicate the Hereford advantages of efficiency and disposition and to demonstrate the Hereford impact on hybrid vigor are all powerful tools in driving demand. Social media and training will enable our breeders to tell their stories and to communicate within the industry and, importantly, outside the industry to our fellow Americans who may have never seen a live cow. Although hard for us to comprehend, we in agriculture are 2% of the U.S. population, and we need to tell our story to the other 98%. If we don’t, somebody else will.

The health of AHA and its membership is very important to me, personally, and to our business. I want to help where I can to make it better.

What are some goals or ideas you have for the Association? Boatman

I think the demand for Hereford cattle is as high as we’ve seen in a long time, and we need to stay aggressive on all aspects to stay on top. Continue the promotion of Certified Hereford Beef ® (CHB), the support for the junior programs, the honest reporting for TPR, and to make DNA testing a more common practice.

Fawcett • To show utmost support to the CHB program and bring it to be a viable asset to the Association.

• To view our junior programs as investments in the future of our breed and its leadership.

• To view the technological advances as tools to perfect

With my current knowledge of the AHA Board’s inner workings, I do not have a specific “silver bullet” to address the challenges facing the Association in the next several years. Approaching service on the Board with an agenda of “gripes” wouldn’t really be my style. If law school taught me anything, it was to keep an open mind and evaluate the situation while listening for opportunities, challenges or details previously overlooked. We can all agree that it’s in our best interest to improve Association business efficiency, expand our reach in the marketplace and communicate the advantages of Hereford cattle to the greater cattle industry. Those are all the “no-brainers” in any astute businessperson’s mind. We all know there are no easy answers or “free lunches” when it comes to any business or association. That said, I am capable of making meaningful contributions to the management of our Association, of identifying and prioritizing challenges, and of chasing down real-world solutions while monitoring how the solutions work. I know the importance of real-time course adjustments in response to the social, legislative and economic landscape. The macro trends of world and U.S. population growth, declining cow and producer numbers and animal welfare are enduring; but one unexpected event — BSE, FMD, change in trade status or more EPA regulation — could be a game changer. I am proud of the strategic plans that AHA has produced. The current plan is the guidepost that we should use to guide our future actions. When one examines the last two strategic plans, some common elements emerge. The mission and vision statement have remained constant. There are several other common elements that come to mind. One is our junior program. Our junior members are the future, plain and simple. The success of that program should be maintained. Additionally the production of high-quality, consistent, predictable, profitable Hereford genetics is common to both plans. This core strategy is measurable and can be backed up by metrics to

Along with most breeders, I feel it is the rediscovery of our great breed. I feel it is important to educate our breeders, new and old, on all the new technologies that will help them improve their ultimate goal. With this said, I would like to look into a collaborative approach with our state and national association to fund our field staff. For example, if a state association or two took a certain amount of the financial responsibility, it would help get the field representative into that area a lot more. This would help new members stay involved, sell bulls, promote youth involvement and be the marketing arm for the producers.

Venhuizen

One of my main goals is to help facilitate the growth of CHB to make it bigger, stronger and economically viable. Another goal is to increase membership as this is very beneficial to all of us, and to do that, we need to keep doing a good job of executing our current programs such as the performance program, the junior program, BuyHereford.com, our events that AHA sponsors and is part of, and the foundations that support our youth and research.

What is the biggest issue the AHA will face in the next 5-10 years? How does the Board prepare to face that issue? Boatman

First and foremost, the biggest issue will be to stay financially strong in today’s weak economy. We need to be wise in decision making on where we spend the money. At the same time, we need to be aggressive because of the gaining popularity of Herefords. We are attracting new people, and we need to make sure we accommodate them in learning about the Hereford breed. I feel with my experience in dealing with new customers over the years that I could help come up with some refreshing ideas for new AHA members to stay positive and enthusiastic about the Hereford breed, just as I did with our new show clinic we host for our customers.

Fawcett

What role will technology play in our quest for the “ideal” final product and where will CHB fit into the diets of the “health” conscious consumer? We have an exceptionally nutritious product with taste, texture and tenderness. We need to target the young consumers with nutritional facts about the CHB product and educate them on the importance of meat in their diet. The mapping of DNA genetic gene pools will be astonishing in the next five to 10 years and the data collected will be information that breeders will undoubtedly want to consider in their breeding programs.

Gebhart

The external environment will be the biggest issue facing the AHA, and it includes several individual challenges. It is projected the world population will grow from 6 billion to 9 billion by 2050. All will need to be fed. The U.S. population will also increase at a smaller rate. As the standard of living for the world population increases, history would tell us people change protein preference to beef. The U.S. cow herd and number of U.S. cattlemen and cattlewomen is declining. At some point in time the world will need more beef. I want the Hereford breed to be positioned to take advantage of this opportunity. Growing consumer awareness of animal welfare should be an opportunity for the Hereford breed. Internally the Board must ensure that AHA has the tools, including a stable financial position, to allow members to record and promote Hereford cattle in the most efficient manner possible. AHA should facilitate the production of quality, consistent and predictable Hereford cattle. The Hereford breed’s efficiency in terms of resources should be documented and used to communicate the profitability of Hereford cattle. There should be no doubt that the AHA Board represents Hereford breeders rather than Hereford cattle — breeders who know their cattle and select for the efficiencies and disposition to make them ever more suited to the social, political, economic and environmental landscape of the future.

Lambert

I feel one of the biggest issues for the Association will be keeping up with the demand for good Hereford genetics. This is in part due to great effort the Board has done to prove the benefits of crossbreeding black cow herds. We need to increase our numbers without sacrificing quality. If we don’t keep our knives sharp, we will fall to the back of the line and may never return. It is very exciting to see the AI studs purchasing more and more Hereford sires. We need to continue to help market those calves whether it is through CHB or some other regional market. I believe another challenge we at least have to acknowledge is the ever-increasing regulations put onto us as producers and business owners by our misinformed urban neighbors. I hail from the state of regulations, and it is an ever-spreading mindset. I think along with other breed associations, we need to work together to protect and promote the positives of our product. After all, if it wasn’t for the cattlemen, there would not be any open space. I look forward to helping protect and improve this great breed and lifestyle.

Venhuizen

I believe the biggest issue will be our role in the commercial marketplace and how we can improve our role so that our members can benefit from that. The Hereford breed has many things turning our direction right now, but we have to capitalize on them so that they are sustainable and long term. This will allow our members to be more profitable, which is very much needed.

Brands can mean a major discount in the value of hides. by Sara Gugelmeyer

This steer has good brand placement of the 7= brand, but the additional shoulder and rib brands will result in a major hide discount.

Brands should be as small as possible for reasonable identification, and Wagner suggests using alternative methods for ID numbers such as ear tags or electronic identification.

PhoTo By Rylee BaRBeR

If branding is necessary this is the best place from a hide value standpoint, high on the hip near the tailhead.

randing calves isn’t just a way of identifying cattle: it’s a Western tradition. However, National Beef staff members are asking beef producers to ponder how a brand can affect the quality of a hide. In 2009, National Beef Packing Co. LLC, one of the packers that harvests cattle for the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) program, purchased a prime tanning facility in St. Joseph, Mo. The hides are prepared at National Beef packing facilities in Dodge City or Liberal, Kan., or Brawley, Calif., and shipped to St. Joseph for tanning. The facility produces “wet blue” leathers, which are so named because they are tanned in a chrome tanning process that results in a light blue color. National Beef Vice President of Cattle Procurement Art Wagner explains that before hides are tanned, they are graded a No. 1, 2 or 3, based on quality. The majority of this grading is dependent on brands on the hide. “Hides with moderate brands result in a ‘pullout’ or tear and are normally discounted 10%,” he explains. “Hides with large or multiple brands often result in multiple or large pullouts which automatically become No. 3 (lowest quality grade) hides.” Naturally, the market and grade determine the price paid for the hide after it is tanned. “In today’s market, a No. 2 hide discounted 10% would be about a $7 to $8 discount per hide,” Wagner says. “The discount for a No. 3 hide because of branding or pullout/tear issues would run in the $25 to $30 range per hide versus the going market rate.” Robert Hein, general manger of the St. Joseph hide plant, explains that in the hide industry, the square footage of usable area is most important. Therefore, Europeans get more for their hides because their cattle are not branded. “There are new

42 Hereford World / October 2010

technologies to identify cattle,” Hein says. “You devalue the hides each time you brand an animal.” Both Hein and Wagner admit that they are not expecting all Americans to stop branding their calves. However, if branding is necessary, they encourage cattlemen to consider this issue. Wagner says these things are important to consider because they are real challenges but can be improved over time: Brand location — eliminate the side and rib, put less on the shoulder, increase usage on the high hip or near the tailhead. Brand size — reduce to minimum level for reasonable and accurate identification. Depth of brand — provide improved training on how to actually brand, not burn, and hold for an extended period of time. Type of brand — use less hot iron and increase use of alternative branding and other identification methods.” Wagner acknowledges that at this point in the marketplace, there is no discount system for brands on a live cattle basis but says he has walked away from a pen of cattle with excessive brands. And branding does affect the U.S. beef industry as a whole. “According to the 2005 National Beef Quality Audit, total lost opportunity to the industry due to hides and branding is a negative 98 cents per head, a 29 cent per head improvement from the 2000 National Beef Quality Audit,” Wagner explains. “With 2009 federally inspected steer/ heifer slaughter of 26.1 million head, this would equate to an industry lost opportunity of nearly $26 million dollars. Much could be saved to the industry via either alternative identification methods or, at the minimum, relocating large rib brands to another location.” HW

poem by Linda Meyer, wife of Ray Meyer, EE Ranches Inc., Kansas division manager Cattle, cattle everywhere Cattle, cattle don’t despair Feed is high and pastures are dry Creeks are low, it’s 30 below Sun won’t shine but We can’t whine My wife has a fever But the cows won’t believe her The cows started calving two weeks early In this kinda weather a guy could get surly Our help won’t stay They left when we started feeding hay You might wonder why we do this for a living It’s all about the chance we get at giving Our sweat and our tears Our love and our blood On a sunny day when its crisp and cold The cows are full, happy and bold They welcome our attention to that little wonder At their side we just couldn’t be fonder A new start every spring, a new life We would pay any price How could we be so lucky, or were we chosen? God has the answers, I can’t thank him enough.

Henrietta Kidwell, 89, Heyworth, Ill., ended her 21-year battle with cancer on July 5. A retired secretary, Henrietta and her late husband, Lyle, farmed near Shirley, Ill., from their marriage in 1947 until 1972, when Lyle became herdsman for E.B. Gee Ranch, East Prairie, Mo. The couple served as managers of NS Polled Herefords, Portland, Ind., from 1979 until their retirement in 1995. For nearly 50 years they raised and showed cattle as Kidwell Herefords and also enjoyed watching their two oldest grandsons exhibit at state and national shows. Henrietta volunteered as a 4-H leader for 10 years and was a past president of the Missouri Poll-ettes. She is survived by a daughter, Becky Simpson; son, Kerry Kidwell; and four grandchildren. Thomas Garvin, 75, Wheaton, Ill., passed away July 30. Chief executive officer of Keebler Co. from 1978 to 1992, Tom was a very successful businessman. During his tenure at Keebler, the company grew from a single product line regional biscuit company with sales of $240 million to the nation’s second largest cookie, cracker and salty snack manufacturer with sales of over $2 billion. He dedicated years to volunteer community service. After his retirement, he served as a member of the Certified Hereford Beef LLC board. He was also an avid sportsman who enjoyed golf, fishing and the Chicago White Sox. Thomas is survived by his wife, Mary; sons, Thomas, Martin, Kevin, Michael and Brian; and daughter, Kathleen. James “Jim” Mrnak, 83, Bowman, N.D., passed away July 21. His love was his ranch and especially Hereford cattle. Jim started his herd 65 years ago. He was very active in community and state activities. He served as a director and president of the North Dakota Hereford Association. He was also a 4-H leader and member of the township board, Bowman County Fair board, school board, church council, Bowman Rotary and the North Dakota Beef Council. Survivors include his wife, Marlene; five children, Connie Hurlburt, Wayne Mrnak, Terry Mrnak, Loren Mrnak and Carla Coplan; 11 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. Paul C. Peaslee, 84, Kingwood, W.Va., passed away Aug. 7. Paul owned and operated K-Lou Farms, Peaslee Trucking Co. and Peaslee Mobile Home Transport.

He was a 32nd Degree Mason and a member of the AF & AM

Masonic Lodge No. 90. He also served as past Farmer’s Day chairman for the Preston County Buckwheat Festival. Paul is survived by his lovely wife of 65 years, Mary Louise Moyers Peaslee; a son, Rick Peaslee; a daughter, Paula Peaslee; and two grandchildren. Clarence “Curley” Werner, 78, Valley City, N.D., passed away Sept. 5. Curley joined the Army in February 1948 and served for 11 months with the 11th Airborne Division as a paratrooper and medic in Sendai, Japan. He was discharged in February 1950, returned to Bismarck, N.D., and became a bricklayer. He started Werner Masonry Construction in 1960. During this time, he enjoyed racing stockcars and assisted in the establishment of The North Dakota Racing Association and then served as its president in 1961. He raced for two more years and then became interested in raising Arabian horses. In 1964 he moved the family and the horses to a farm north of Valley City, N.D. Here he developed and operated Circle Masonry Construction and Werner Circle “C” Ranch. Along with the registered Arabian horses, he began raising and showing registered polled Herefords and registered Quarter horses. He served on the board for the North Dakota Polled Hereford Association (NPHA) for many years, serving as president for one term. In 1990 he was presented with its “Man of the Year” award. For 18 years he served on the North Dakota Winter Show livestock board, representing the NPHA. He was a member of the Elks and the American Legion and a lifetime member of the Dazey Sodbusters Association. Curley is survived by his loving wife, Beverly, of 55 years; his five children, Shauna Klepfel, Teresa Gorder, Nyla Yanish, Sheila Wallace and James Werner; nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Rebecca “Becky” Sellman, 55, Crawford, Neb., died suddenly at home on the ranch on, Sept. 5. She showed Hereford steers in 4-H, and a highlight of her life was watching her children and grandchildren do the same. Becky was a 4-H club leader for many years and served on the 4-H council.

The last few years, Becky spent her time and expertise at The Ranch House in Crawford. Becky was actively involved in the Crawford Historical Society, Nebraska Hereford Women, American Hereford Women and the Ya-Yas of Crawford. Becky is survived by her husband, Butch; her sons, Adam and Ryan; daughter, Georganne Shaw; four grandchildren; and her parents, George and Lois Payton. HW

How to

Tinhrive the Future Management consultant shares advice for adapting to change. by Kindra Gordon

iven the economy’s turbulence during the last two years, most farm and agribusiness owners can agree that the business climate is not what it once was. So, how can businesses get back on track and find profitability and prosperity? Minnesota-based business management consultant Bob Milligan says it will require “going to a new level” by owners and managers. Milligan, who is an

emeritus professor from Cornell University’s agricultural economics department, has some advice for adapting to this changed economy.

Why is it not the world it was two years ago? First, Milligan says business managers must recognize that many factors have changed and will create a long-lasting effect. He says, “The hole is deep.” Using dairy as an example, Milligan

shares that a financial analysis completed by Farm Credit found that the 2009 average per cow loss on the 544 Northeastern U.S. dairy farms was $386. Depending on production per cow, that is $1.30 to $2 per hundredweight (cwt.). It will take most dairies two or more years to recover that loss and get back to where they were. Milligan says, “Although most other animal ag industries were not hit as hard, most have some ground, and in some cases large accounts receivable, to recover.” Milligan explains that ag business owners and managers must accept a new economic reality. He says, “Hopefully, we will never again see the swing in economic conditions that we have seen in the general economy over the last two years. That said, nearly all of the conditions that created the swing — agriculture in the energy business, global market adjustments, inelastic price, the increasing rate of change — remain. The oil spill in the Gulf and the economic crises in Europe add even more uncertainty. High unemployment will likely contribute to weak consumer demand and a sluggish economy for the foreseeable future. In addition, the continuing price variability potential and the lessons of the last two years are resulting in reduced availability of credit.” Additionally, Milligan points out that external threats have intensified. “For reasons that we do not understand (but need to), modern agriculture has become a punching bag of the media. Will Rogers may be best known for his quote: ‘All I know is what I read in the newspaper.’ Today the media is much more than the newspaper; however, the quote reminds us of the power of the media,” says Milligan.

Given those circumstances, what will business owners have to do to thrive in the future? Milligan suggests it starts with being much more keenly aware of the external environment. Milligan says, “Wayne Gretzky is called ‘The Great One’ because he is the greatest hockey player to ever play the game. He always attributes his success to passing the puck to where the player will be — not to where the player is now. Similarly, business owners — farmers, ranchers, agribusiness professionals — must make decisions based on their best judgment as to where their industry and the business environment will be — not to where it is today.” He adds, “To know where ‘the player will be’ requires an understanding of the business environment in which your business operates.”

“The first requirement is recognition that change is needed. You must then summon the determination to compete under the new economic realities and then maintain the focus necessary to succeed.” — Bob Milligan Secondly, Milligan says management at a new level will be needed. He explains, “One of Albert Einstein’s most famous quotes is ‘The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.’ This quote applies to the current situation in the sense that we must take our management to the next level. This new level must include even more efficient and quality focused operational management; however, the greatest strides in management are likely needed at the leadership level.” Most importantly, Milligan tells owners and managers, “You cannot do this alone.” He adds, “One of the greatest needs that has become apparent in businesses we have worked with over the last two years is more attention to the CFO (chief financial officer) and CEO (chief executive officer) roles.” As well, Milligan says this will require more reliance on other members of your workforce and also on trusted advisors. He concludes, “Greater attention to attracting, retaining and developing an exceptional workforce will be key to success.”

Avoid frustration Lastly, Milligan says to trade in frustration along the way for determination and focus. He says, “Frustration that the recovery is so slow and so shallow is the prevailing emotion currently expressed by many farm and agribusiness owners. I am very confident that managers can move to the required higher level. The first requirement is recognition that change is needed. You must then summon the determination to compete under the new economic realities and then maintain the focus necessary to succeed.” HW
