Ottley Herefords cattle excel on diverse terrain. by Julie Mais

n the past five decades in the Quincy Valley of central Washington, Gary Ottley has witnessed the desert blossom. What was once dry land good for only growing sagebrush and jackrabbits now produces a host of crops and sustains the family’s Hereford herd. The Ottleys’ 600-acre diversified farm near Quincy, Wash., produces potatoes, sweet corn and green peas. Gary also grows alfalfa, of which the majority is sold to dairy farms but a portion is exported. Gary says Hereford cattle have adapted well to this area, and because of their efficiency, he is able to utilize crop aftermath for grazing and lower-quality alfalfa that doesn’t meet the dairy cattle standard. Gary’s parents moved from southern Idaho to central Washington

in 1955. His father, Dean, was a World War II veteran, and through the GI program at the time, he was eligible to purchase low-cost property. “Dad got 120 acres to start with and we’ve expanded over the years,” Gary says. His father had a few heifers in Idaho but sold them to use the profit to help start the farm in Washington. It wasn’t until 1976 that the Ottley family ventured into the Hereford business with the purchase of cattle out of the Stone Hereford Ranch dispersal in Oregon. Ottley Herefords has had as many as 120 head, but today the numbers are a little lower. Gary will calve out 80 cows this fall. “We have a strictly fall-calving herd as it works better with our feeding program,” Gary says.

Wintertime Preparation section starts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 54 Gary Ottley says his customers appreciate the longevity of Hereford bulls.

“We are then able to sell 18-monthold bulls in the spring.” Gary utilizes artificial insemination (AI) for the majority of the herd. He used AI on 75 head of heifers and cows this year. With his customers in mind, Gary selects bulls based on strong female traits. “I look for good udder quality and feet to make cattle that will function well for the commercial guys in rough territory,” he says. “A lot will go in to eastern Washington and eastern Oregon where there is some tough range country — the bulls need to be able to travel. I aim for cattle that are functional and problem-free that our customers won’t complain about.” Gary markets 20-25 head of bulls each year through the Northwest continued on page 24...

Let’s ‘Talk Hereford’ The American Hereford Association (AHA) just completed its fiscal year, and AHA staff has been working diligently to put together another great Annual Meeting that will be filled with education, social activities and, of course, the AHA Board election. You will find details of the meeting on Page 30, and I would personally like to invite all of you to attend. This year we are offering more educational activities on Friday afternoon. There will be two sessions that will have three breakout meetings in each, allowing

you to pick the sessions that interest you and could benefit your operation. In addition, there will be a small trade show so you can have an opportunity to interact with industry partners. On behalf of the AHA, I would like to say thanks to the businesses that have agreed to be a part of this first trade show at the AHA Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting is always exciting for a variety of reasons, but the election of new directors is certainly the focus. This group of six candidates

that the nominating committee has put together is a great group of breeders that have a passion for the breed and would bring great knowledge to the AHA Board. It is important for all to make plans to attend the meeting, even if you are not a delegate, to meet and to engage with these candidates and to share your thoughts with your voting delegates. It is just as important to visit with other breeders, to attend the educational meetings to “Talk Hereford” and to meet the current Board and staff.

New genetic evaluation software There are certainly plenty of things on the agenda for next fiscal year and beyond as we work toward new genetic evaluation software, BOLT, that will allow us even more frequent runs and will give us the ability to run the evaluation with pedigree, performance data and genotypes together. This will give our breeders access to the most robust evaluation in the industry. One of the key components to this evaluation will be the ability to parentage identify any animals with genotypes. This is important as we see about a 10-15% issue with parentage identification due to a variety of errors. The pedigree portion of any evaluation is the building block of how it starts, and when there are issues to start, they only compound as the process moves forward. The AHA Board and staff are committed to developing programs that will help identify cattle that can work in all segments of the industry and to provide the type of genetics that will have a focus on economically relevant traits. With this in mind, we will continue to build programs that identify cattle for the cow-calf, feedlot and packer sectors. In the next year, we plan to release updated profit ($) indexes with the addition of our new traits, built through BOLT and reflective of the new economic factors that are focused on the future. These indexes will allow you and your customers to make selections based on a goal and will be built with profitability in mind and not just the most output. Genomics are here to stay, and the AHA has built a good repository of genotypes, but we need to continue to focus on genotyping animals. I have mentioned the importance of pedigree, but as we move forward, these genotypes will be imperative to identify and to add proof to genetics that will be beneficial to the industry and will decrease risk for you and your customers. We have just started to chip away at the value of genomics in the beef industry, and the AHA is committed to staying in touch with what the industry requests. It has been a great year for the AHA, and we would like to invite all of you to attend the meeting so we can share the success and build for the future. I look forward to seeing you Oct. 28-30 so we can “Talk Hereford.” HW

Stahly NRSP Results Announced Provided are the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) results from 2015born calves at Stahly Ranch in Cavour, S.D. Mike and Judy Stahly, along with their family, have been a part of the NRSP since 1999. Each year Mike will select three sires to use in his program. One of these sires will be used at Olsen’s so that the data are linked and comparisons can be accurately made between young and proven sires. Because of the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) partnerships with various test herds like Stahly’s, breeders can make better-informed decisions relative to traits of interest. Ultimately our goal is to identify young sires that can positively affect the marketplace and give seedstock and commercial breeders alike proof that Hereford genetics are profitable. Likewise, proven sires are evaluated in this test to further

validate their values and to give the young sires comparison with the Hereford population. Printed in Table 1 are the expected progeny differences (EPDs) for sires used, along with the phenotypes of progeny evaluated in the test. These data along with the rest of the phenotypes will be used in the PanAmerican Cattle Evaluation (PACE). Although birth and weaning data have already been added to profiles of the sires (found in Table 2), the carcass data will be added in the system and be reflected in the genetic evaluation released on Oct. 15. In most cases the phenotypic data aligned very well with the EPDs of the sires, but not perfectly, which is not out of line. It is important to remember that EPDs are the best indicators of potential performance, but it is only when progeny data are added that we

begin to realize the genetic potential, particularly of young sires. In summary, the 38 cattle evaluated in the test graded 79% choice, which is a strong improvement from a year ago. Also these cattle had an average yield grade of a 3.6, which is definitely within industry standards, especially considering the kill weight of the cattle. All in all, I feel the set of cattle did well on the rail, and on average these cattle gained 3.9 lb./day during the finishing phase, proving that Hereford and Hereford-influenced cattle can perform quite profitably at the bunk and on the rail. Finally, I would like to invite everyone to the AHA Annual Meeting Oct. 28-30 in Kansas City, Mo., particularly to the “Talk Hereford” educational forum on Friday afternoon. HW

More about Stahly Ranch, an NRSP test ranch

• Each bull in the Stahly Ranch test gets randomly mated to 60 cows.

• The Stahly herd consists of commercial Hereford, Angus, black and red baldie cows.

• Calves are born in March and April and weaned in October.

• Test cattle are then backgrounded through the winter until midFebruary. At this point they are placed in a feedlot and finished the first of August.

• Fun fact: Stahly ranch was the first ranch homesteaded in Beadle County, South Dakota, by Mike’s great-grandfather. HW

foundation female,” says Terri Barber of Barber Ranch. “Kate Rielle is an August-born heifer out of our Gabrielle foundation female and out of the acclaimed Hometown bull, so she’s the best of both genetics that we’ve ever offered and we’re very proud to be supporting the Hereford Youth Foundation of America by donating her.” Kate Rielle (registration no. 43675990) is an Aug. 5, 2015, daughter of NJW 73S W18 Hometown 10Y ET and out of BR Gabrielle 5082 by BR Lansing 3060. Kate Rielle’s dam is a two-time NWSS champion female plus supreme champion Hereford and dam of NWSS champion Currency; she is also the granddam of the famed Denver champion Anastasia and her full brother Aventus, who was selected 2016 NWSS supreme champion Hereford. The sire of Kate Rielle, Hometown 10Y, was a NWSS grand champion. The Lot 1 female will be selling for half interest and no possession, and Barber Ranch will also pay show expenses. “We feel like there is no better way to support the next generation than with a female that can generate the type of attention and potential money that this heifer can bring for the foundation and help them reach the goal they’re striving to achieve,” Barber says.

MEMBER SERVICE Whole Herd Total Performance Record (TPR) deadline Nov. 1 is the closing date for all birth, weaning, yearling and ultrasound data to be included in the Spring Sire Evaluation Report. Remember, a weaning weight or disposal code is required from all calves out of cows on inventory. Birth and yearling weights are optional; however, if a birth or yearling weight is recorded, then all calves in the calf crop must have that weight or a disposal code recorded. Remember, performance data are not required from embryo transplant

by Christy Bradshaw, AHA education coordinator

(ET) calves, but if an ET calf’s data are reported, each calf will incur a $5.50 recipient inventory charge even though the calf’s performance data will not be included in the sire summary data analysis nor will ET calves be indexed against natural or artificial insemination (AI) calves.

Save money, register online with MyHerd.org The American Hereford Association (AHA) has a real-time online registration system called MyHerd. org. Members may sign up for a free online account and register their calves

electronically. Electronic registrations receive a discount and registered information is made available in real time. E-mail your AHA member number to MyHerd@hereford.org to have an account set up.

Electronic certificate storage Members using MyHerd.org have the option to store their registration certificates electronically. Electronic storage eliminates the paper shuffle and possible mailing errors, while increasing the ease and efficiency of registrations and transfers.

Registration certificates are only stored for animals registered or transferred after enrollment of the service. Hard copy registration certificates may be released from storage at any time, as long as the registration and transfer fees are paid. E-mail your member number to MyHerd@ hereford.org to enroll your herd in electronic registration certificate storage.

Electronic certificate storage FAQ Q: How does electronic certificate storage work?

A: When a calf is registered and the registration fees are paid, the certificate is stored electronically instead of being printed and mailed.

Q: What happens when an animal is transferred to me?

A: If the seller requests “Cert to Buyer,” the certificate will be placed into the participating member’s electronic certificate storage.

Q: Do we still need a hard copy registration certificate for shows?

A: AHA national shows still require an original certificate. MyHerd makes it easy to release your show string’s certificates; they can be released at any time and will mail the next business day. Please allow yourself enough time before you leave for the show to receive your registration certificates by mail.

Welch Receives Meat Vendor of the Year Award Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) LLC Vice President of Sales Mick Welch took home the title of 2016 Meat Vendor of the Year from Affiliated Foods Inc. during its banquet Aug. 10 in Amarillo, Texas. Affiliated Foods Inc. has met the needs of grocery stores and restaurants in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Arkansas by supplying fresh meat, bread and dairy products for 60 years. This annual award is given to a representative who provides outstanding service to Affiliated Foods Inc. and retail members in the areas of sales and service. “What sets Mick apart is his drive and initiative,” says Russell Fontenot, director of meat operations for Affiliated Foods Inc. “He wants to sell product, and he is very dedicated to CHB. I would have him on my team any time.” Welch says he had no idea he was selected or even in the running to win this prestigious award.

“Winning this award was a complete surprise to me,” Welch says. “It is always exciting to be recognized by your peers, but to be recognized by a company such as Affiliated Foods is truly an honor.” Welch joined the CHB LLC team in 2007, when he was looking to change his career, he says. “I needed something a little more exciting and challenging in my life other than the hum drum of city sales,” Welch says. “Through networking in the industry, I was able to get an interview with CHB LLC.” Welch’s first assignment upon being hired was to build the foodservice division for CHB LLC. Welch began building a relationship with Affiliated Foods Inc. in 2010 when he gained it as a retail account. In one year CHB sales through Affiliated Foods nearly tripled from 2 million lb. of sales to 5 million lb. of sales. “Mick is an invaluable resource to Certified Hereford Beef,” says Amari Manning, CHB LLC general manger

and chief operating officer. “His passion, dedication and commitment to the program have set a solid foundation for years to come.” Looking back on his career, Welch says the thing that has helped him excel is simple — hard work. “I’ve been in the meat business for 48 years,” Welch says. “I started putting meat in a box in 1968 at Boyles Famous

Corned Beef Co. I worked my way up the ladder by hard work and dedication to the program and the process.” Although he has accomplished a lot, Welch said the CHB story is not complete. “The puzzle we have here at CHB is never done,” Welch says. “We are just going to keep adding to the picture.” HW

Selling Calves Is More Than Hauling Them to Town Today’s calves have a reputation that is earned and recorded. The producer may or may not be heavily involved, but the calf buyers are very involved. Buyers know most cattle and have kept track of previous years’ performance. For the most part, the performance history of each load of calves is noted and calls go out to get more calves like those. Are your calves on the call list and engaged in active participation in regard to buyers? If not, now is the time to get on the list. Here are six steps to raising calves that are in demand:

• Offer superior genetics • Provide sound management • Implement a preconditioning program

• Implement calf identification • Certify production practices for the targeted market

• Engage in a good

marketing strategy

The order of the steps is not as important as doing the steps. Superior genetics are a product of good sire selection. Calves are a product of a producer’s genetic program. Gone are the days when one eyeballs and guesses what the genetic package holds.

The appropriate mix of growth and carcass genes achieved through proven sires is critical, and the calves will reflect their genetic input. Fast-growing calves that have the genes to grade choice and offer the feedlot some flexibility in marketing a high-lean, heavy carcass are desirable. Sound management is an assurance calves are adaptable and ready to be moved physically and mentally. Buyers will pay extra dollars to get the desired calves that have been under the care of a good manager who has adopted all the beef quality assurance principles. Additionally, a good manager is someone who conducts business in a professional manner, pays attention to detail, has a broad grasp of the industry, has positive people skills, guides those who are supervised and pays attention to detail through documentation and the sale of a program. A preconditioning program seems like a no-brainer, but many calves still show up at the markets with no acclimation to the world. Preconditioned calves are products of a complete health management program designed to minimize risk as calves leave the home ranch, travel through the marketing channels and arrive at a backgrounder or feedlot. These calves must be accustomed to water troughs and feed bunks, timely vaccinated with recommended vaccines, treated for

applicable parasites and fully processed regarding castration and horns. Calf identification has been a bony point, but calves need a connection to their source and some form of identification that allows for proper acknowledgment of the individual calf. All calves are different, and some do not measure up. Those that measure up need to be identified, even in a pen of similar-colored average calves. Certification of calves may be new to some but old hat to others. To obtain a premium, calves must be certified and acknowledged as to who they are as individuals. As markets get more technical, this challenge becomes greater, but the difficulty does not remove the need to certify that the calf is what the producer claims. Call it the difference between generic and name-brand marketing; the difference is the name. Finally, a good marketing strategy is paramount. Getting calves ready for market and capturing the available market dollars are the culmination of the total program. Perhaps the best advice still is to group a set of calves following proper preparation for the market and target the market with the appropriate set of calves. Keep in touch with the local livestock market, and do not be a stranger. Do the sorting at home, and keep the market groups crisp

and sharp as they come closer to marketing day. Granted, the thrill of seeing the whole calf crop loaded on the farm, unloaded at the sale barn and then acknowledged at sale time brings excitement to the day. But the more prudent approach of marketing selected groups of calves during a series of weeks or even months can complement specific markets and makes good sense. The bottom line still remains: Calves will bring what the market needs, no more, no less. Remember, present well-prepared calves ready for the market, and don’t forget to contact last year’s buyers and to seek out a few extra buyers. Marketing: It’s how business survives. Do not give in to the mediocre. Progressive producers offer superior genetics, provide sound management, implement a preconditioning program, implement calf identification, certify production practices for a targeted market and engage in a good marketing strategy. Aggressively market these calves. Others don’t know what you do unless you tell them. Tell the buyers, provide the facts and note the potential performance expectations of the calves you are about to sell. Brag a little and be proud. You can do it. HW

Dreams, Opportunity Make the Future Dreams are part of the human psyche, framed by thoughts, ambitions and hopes of our current and past situations. But at day’s end, one needs to ask, “What happened to my morning dream? Did I make progress? Did I lose it? Did I sell it?” After all, others need what we have; therefore, if we are not careful, at day’s end, we find out we sold our dream. By selling, we return to what we had. I always can remember each fall as a child when the calves and lambs were sold off, wishing we could keep more, do more and grow. Perhaps wishes and dreams are a bit of the same: a desire to do. Beef production is a buy-sell business in which people produce beef and, we hope, sell to the high bidder. The beeves conceived on a cattle unit may be sold many times because when the price goes up, the tendency is to sell. Sale time often is directly related to the price. And there go dreams. Those childhood memories repeat: How often do we watch the calves go down the road to market and mutter, “There is always next year”? All right, I can feel the reality checkers. Buy low, sell high, but you missed and bought high, sold low. In more current times, after a public

/ October 2016

presentation is made, the fact checkers remind us quickly of our mistakes or what may be termed a “misguided” dream. And so, do we sell our dreams for fear that the reality checkers will arrive before our next night’s sleep? The world of beef has so much room for more dreams. Price seems to be a driving factor in selling or buying, and we understand that. Opportunities in the beef business abound, and the development of future operations that are products of what we dream can help us reach our desire to do, to achieve. Perhaps, for some, the dream is to achieve the maximum dollar value to generate maximum return on the dollars invested. But what we dream should mean more than only dollars. Those shipped calves, once sold, are now someone else’s opportunity. What about dreams that integrate beef production in a sensible and sustainable system while practicing good stewardship of all the resources? What about dreams of producing a solution that enables more people to consume beef? What about the goals to improve soil health (the source of cattle production), to offer more living diversity per acre of land utilized by cattle, to generate more pounds of forage per acre that results in more

pounds of beef per acre and to put more family spendable dollars into the operation and community? Dreams are what will drive the beef industry, changing, molding and fitting it into the rest of the world in due time. Dreams are what improve and sustain the very world in which we live. We need to stay on track and remain focused on our desired outcomes. The other night, I enjoyed a good meal of grilled barbequed chicken. The uniqueness was the source of the chicken: two distinct genetic types. One type represented the typical chicken available today to the average consumer. The chicken was excellent, with a large proportion of white meat from a heavily breasted broiler. This chicken represented the fine-tuned genetics produced within a modern poultry operation. The poultry used would have had the genes that resulted from extensive selection models based on rapid growth and specific production-line objectives. Production of the chicken could have been in someone’s backyard or a small, medium or large poultry facility because poultry production breeds have been selected for extensive hatchery production to assure availability and survivability in all management scenarios around the

world. Those same birds are available at local grocery stores across the world, so regardless of the management system, the opportunity for tasty, locally flavored barbequed chicken is readily available, with little difference in the poultry used. I said I had two types of chicken that evening. The other chicken was a product of breed-specific production with no modern selection models applied. The chicken lacked the large proportion of white meat with thinner, longer muscles throughout the chicken’s frame. Some would say the second chicken was bony when compared with the more commercially available chicken. Both birds were served as grilled barbequed chicken. They differed in taste, texture and all other attributes of satisfying the human palate. Both were good but uniquely different. As people, when we mention that something is different, we may be quick to be defensive, to put off or even make sure a negative note is added to the conversation. The variation that exists in the beef industry, just like in the chicken industry, is an opportunity waiting to happen. Do not sell a dream, but persevere to bring the dream to life. Opportunity makes the future. HW Hereford.org

...Gains on All Grounds continued from the cover

Irrigation is a game-changer for the arid central Washington region where Gary Ottley is able to grow a variety of crops.

Gary Ottley is the second generation of his family to farm near Quincy, Wash.

Hereford Breeders sale in March and private treaty. “Most of our cattle are going to dry-land and low-rainfall areas where it’s not easy for cattle to survive in,” he says.

Grazing the fields The area where Ottley Herefords resides receives only seven to 10 inches of rain a year, but thanks to irrigation, Gary says a variety of crops can be grown. “It’s flat and arid here,” Gary says. “Without water it’s a pretty ugly place. When my dad came here to start farming he had to mow the sagebrush down, level the ground a little bit and add some irrigation. It’s unbelievable the difference.” The center pivots across Gary’s acreage sources water from the Bureau of Reclamation’s Grand Coulee Dam project. “We have reliable water,” Gary says. “There’s never a shortage which is a plus. We are also fortunate to have cheap power rates, which keeps cost low for pumping water for irrigation.” Gary grazes his Herefords on irrigated pasture from the beginning of April through mid-August. Cattle are then moved to sweet corn stalks. “We’ll graze sweet corn stalks, field

corn stalks and volunteer wheat, pending on snowfall, until the end of March,” Gary says. “Sometimes we supplement with a little alfalfa if the stalks are not high enough quality and if we don’t have volunteer wheat to go on to.” There’s a lot of difference in corn stalks, Gary adds. “Sweet corn is excellent feed until the end of November and first of December, but they don’t hold up as well as the field corn stalks,” he explains. “If you get any snow on them, they start to deteriorate and break down. But they are fresh and a little green — excellent for cattle.” Field corn, however, requires more supplement. “We can go a couple of weeks without much supplementation, then if they clean out any of the grain, we’ll give them 5-8 lb. of alfalfa a day. It’s pretty easy really.” Thanks to portable corrals, Gary, his 16-year-old son, Matt, and his hired hand, Garrett, can move cattle with ease between fields. “For the majority of the year we have cattle grazing the fields, moving from one center pivot to another,” Gary says. “We tow the portable corrals to the fields and we will work our calves there and AI in the fields as well.”

Longevity, disposition and Hereford people In addition to efficiency and adaptability, Gary says his customers enjoy the longevity of Hereford bulls. “One comment I get often is how long the bulls last,” he explains. “I’ll have a

Strictly a fall-calving herd, Gary Ottley says this works best with their feeding program.

customer who bought a bull from me five or six years ago and they are really doing good, but they’ll say ‘I got too many daughters out of him so we need to trade him in.’ Hereford bulls last a long time and hold up well.” And, Gary says that’s his goal. “In some ways it’s counter productive though because you can’t sell as many bulls,” he laughs. “But that’s a good thing for your customers.” Gary adds that both he and his customers enjoy the Hereford breed’s quiet disposition. “Most of the guys buying our cattle are happy working their bulls and the offspring they keep — they have good dispositions. I like Hereford cattle because of this. With our field to field crop aftermath program, we have to move our cattle often and it’s nice to get them in, haul them and move them around pastures with no problem.”

The reason he’s still in the Hereford business, Gary says, though, is not necessarily the amount of money he has made — it’s the people. “The Hereford industry includes a wonderful bunch of people,” Gary says. “I enjoy the camaraderie and friendship I have with lots and lots of Hereford breeders. It’s been the best part of being in this industry. I have some truly great friends in my fellow Hereford breeders.” Gary notes that Hereford cattle are improving each year. “They are very adaptable and they can go anywhere and do anything just about,” he says. “There are definitely good ones to choose from. We’ve still got some progress to make, but I think we’ve made a lot of improvement and we have a breed to be proud of.” HW

Six Contending for AHA Board The American Hereford Association (AHA) nominating committee has announced six Hereford breeders are vying for positions on the AHA Board.

Joel Birdwell Hereford breeder Joel Birdwell, Kingfisher, Okla., grew up on a ranch in southwest Oklahoma, where his family homesteaded 114 years ago. Joel raised and showed Hereford cattle in his youth and was involved in the state and national junior Hereford programs. He attended Oklahoma State University (OSU) and was a member of the 1995 livestock judging team. Upon graduation, Joel was hired by OSU to manage its purebred beef cattle herd, which consisted of 500 purebred cows and five breeds. He was responsible for managing the artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET) programs, the student workforce, and the annual production sale. In 2002 Joel and his wife, Bridget, moved to Kingfisher to help expand Bridget’s family’s farming and cattle operation. They run approximately 2,000 head of stocker cattle annually that graze winter wheat. They also have more than 400 commercial cows and utilize a three-breed cross breeding rotation of Hereford, Angus and Charolais genetics. Cattle are marketed through video and private treaty sales. Joel partners with his father on 300 registered Hereford and Angus cows, which are on the family ranch in Fletcher, Okla. They utilize AI and calve both in the spring and the fall. Approximately 100 head of bulls and females are marketed through their production sale hosted in February as well as through private treaty. Joel’s focus is to raise bulls and females that excel in the economically important traits — calving ease, marbling, fertility, fleshing ability and rapid growth to a moderate mature size. Joel has also followed in his father’s footsteps and has been growing his purebred auction business for the past 10 years. He is a member of the Oklahoma Hereford Association and has served as a voting delegate for the AHA Annual Meeting. Joel is also involved in the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association as district director and the American Quarter Horse Association and is president of the Kingfisher County Cattlemen’s Association. In his community, Joel is a member of the First Baptist Church and is on the grounds and property committee. Joel and his wife have three sons, Jarret, 14, Judson, 12 and Jhett, 9.

Stephen Coates Jr. West Texas cattleman Stephen Coates Jr., of San Angelo, Texas, is a fourth-generation Hereford breeder. Coates Ranch was established in 1905 by Stephen’s great-grandfather, P.H. Coates. In 1927 P.H. and his son-in-law, J.A. Queen, purchased 15 females at the Anxiety 4th Sale in Snyder, Texas, and began the registered herd. Every cow in the Coates Ranch herd today traces back to this purchase. Stephen’s grandfather, P.H. Coates Jr., purchased the herd in 1957 and continued the Anxiety 4th breeding until Stephen’s father, Steve, partnered with P.H. Jr. in 1970. Stephen’s grandfather passed away in 1987, and in 1994 Stephen formed a partnership with his father. Since their partnership, Coates Ranch has used Line One genetics to build its herd.

/ October 2016

For decades Coates Ranch raised sheep and goats, but due to market changes, the Coates family sold all the sheep in 1998 and the goats in 2004. Today they strictly raise Hereford cattle and Quarter Horses. Currently they run their 300-500 cow herd on the ranch that consists of 60 sections in the Permian Basin and Trans-Pecos areas of West Texas, including deeded and leased lands in Crockett, Reagan and Upton counties. Each year they market 80-120 bulls along with heifers and bred cows private treaty. They strive to raise functional cattle that can survive in harsh environments and meet the needs of their commercial customers. Coates Ranch also leases hunting rights to several major companies as well as small businesses. The Coates family is very active in brush control and improving watering conditions on the ranch for livestock and wildlife. Stephen grew up showing Hereford heifers on the local level. From 2002-2005 he served on the Texas Hereford Association executive committee and was president for a term. He attends the AHA Annual Meeting each fall and has served as a voting delegate numerous times. Additionally, he is co-superintendent of the San Angelo Livestock Show and Rodeo Junior Hereford Heifer Show. Stephen started working as a board-certified gastroenterologist at Shannon Clinic in San Angelo, Texas, in July 2004. He is currently on several hospital committees at Shannon Medical.

David Schubel New York Hereford breeder, David Schubel, Medina, N.Y., has been a partner in SK Herefords LLC since 1996. David, along with Phil and Dawn Keppler and their daughter Alana, owns and operates a 300-head cow herd in western New York, with approximately 100 registered Hereford cows. The commercial herd consists of Hereford and red and black baldie females. SK Herefords retains ownership of a percentage of its calf crop not sold for breeding stock and are fed out in its own facility. The remainder is sold as feeder calves through a local sale barn. The operation involves approximately 1,200 acres of pasture and row crops and produces corn and forages sufficient for the herd’s needs. SK Herefords collects data on both registered and commercial females and focuses breeding decisions on a balance of maternal, growth and carcass traits. The females at SK Herefords must produce efficiently in a real-world environment in order to stay in its herd. Prior to his partnership with the Kepplers, David operated his own smaller herd from 1986-1996 under the name of Schubel Herefords. Apart from his cattle endeavors, David is a partner in a local law firm, Webster, Schubel & Meier LLP, focusing on the representation of municipalities. David has been a member of the AHA and the New York Hereford Association since 1986. He has held numerous offices of the New York Beef Producer’s Association, and as a member of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, he is on the production research committee. He has served on the New York Beef Industry Council board of directors and held the offices of vice president and secretary/ treasurer. He has been a member of the Cattlemen’s Beef Board and served on the joint human nutrition research committee and joint evaluation committee, where he served as chairman in 2010. David is also involved with various local charities and Trinity Lutheran Church.

Bruce Thomas Montana Hereford breeder Bruce Thomas has been involved in the Hereford industry since birth. Bruce and his wife, Tammy; son, Kurt and his wife, Jessica; and his parents, Richard and Shirley, manage Thomas Herefords, Gold Creek, Mont. Bruce’s parents began their registered Hereford operation in 1957 and brought Bruce up in the business. In the late 1970s, Bruce started Thomas Custom Fitting, in which he fed, fit and showed Hereford cattle across the United States, culminating with winning grand champion horned female at the1984 National Western Stock Show. As his family began to grow, Bruce dissolved this business to be home with his family.

Hereford.org

He then started a 25-year career in the timber and sawmill industry while helping with the day-to-day responsibilities of the ranch. During this time, Bruce had numerous responsibilities including being in charge of ranch sales, managing the operation’s human resources and ensuring the safety of 150 employees. In the 1970s Thomas Herefords began to use AI, but the ranch became aggressive in using this technology in the 1990s when the Thomases also started to utilize expected progeny differences (EPDs). Today Thomas Herefords maintains 250 head of registered Hereford cows and markets cattle private treaty throughout the United States and other countries. The ranch sells 75 bulls and more than 50 head of females annually. Its partnership with Accelerated Genetics has provided an opportunity for domestic and international semen sales. The focus of Thomas Herefords is to develop cattle to meet the needs of commercial customers by producing sound, efficient cattle that can excel in all segments of the beef industry. Bruce is a member of the Montana Hereford Association and has served numerous terms on the board of directors and held various officer positions including treasurer for the 2016 Montana Hereford Association Tour. He has also served as an advisor for the Montana Junior Hereford Association. Currently, Bruce is vice chairman of the Watershed Restoration Coalition of the Upper Clark Fork River and is on the Powell County Planning Board. He is also a member of the Montana Stockgrowers Association and Clark Fork City Church. Bruce and Tammy have three children — Kurt and his wife Jessica, Amber and her husband Travis, and Heather and her husband Ben — and five grandchildren.

Joe Waggoner Hereford breeder Joe Waggoner, Carthage, Miss., has been raising cattle all of his life. Joe’s youth was shaped by experiences in both beef and dairy judging and exhibiting livestock. He learned the business from his father and now, 55 years after purchasing his first Hereford calf, he manages the seedstock division of his family’s fourthgeneration farm in central Mississippi — Waggoner Cattle Company, LLC. The family farm consists of a 150head Hereford herd, a commercial herd and timber production. The purebred cattle are marketed regionally in the Southeast and partnerships for bull development and sales in Kansas while females are marketed private treaty. He works to improve herd genetics and performance through participation in the Mississippi Beef Cattle Improvement Association (MBCIA), the AHA Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) and genomic testing. Joe’s father also influenced his decision to obtain degrees in civil engineering and law. In 1976 Joe and his wife, Allison, founded a civil engineering and management business in Jackson, Miss. For the last 40 years growing this firm and expanding the family cattle business have formed Joe’s professional career. Joe joined the American Polled Hereford Association in 1964 and became a member of the AHA following the merger of the polled and horned organizations. He has served as president, secretary and board member of the Mississippi Polled Hereford Association and has sponsored field days at the farm. He is a member of the MBCIA, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and the Beef Improvement Federation. Joe is also involved in chambers of commerce, economic development districts, state and national bar associations, the Society of International Business Fellows, the National Society of Professional Engineers, the American Council of Engineering Companies and Habitat for Humanity. Joe and Allison have two grown daughters — Alex and Olivia. HW

Candidate Q&A All six AHA Board candidates had a chance to respond to three questions. Below are the questions and candidates’ responses.

Why are you running for the Board? Birdwell

I grew up raising and showing Hereford cattle and was heavily involved in the junior program at the state and national levels. I credit these experiences with helping to shape my career path. I have been involved with several different breeds from ownership to management to marketing, but Hereford cattle are where my loyalty lies. I feel it is my obligation to do my best to continue to help strengthen the Association as well as to move it forward. I derive my livelihood from the cattle business — it is important to my family and me. I have been in the Hereford business all of my life, even when being in that business was extremely tough, and have enjoyed seeing the revitalization of the Hereford breed. I want to be sure that we continue to be forward thinking in terms of advancing and strengthening our breed and Association.

Coates

Herefords have been part of my family for almost a century and now, more than ever, are the mainstay of our ranching operation. We have never raised another breed of cattle in nine decades. Herefords are the best and most versatile breed of cattle on Earth. They were right for the times when first introduced to America in 1817 and are still right for the times today. I believe that my background in medicine and research and my connections with commercial cattlemen would be an asset to our board in advancing the Hereford breed and gaining a larger market share. Ranching and Herefords are my true passion in life along with gastroenterology. I will listen to members’ needs and work hard to improve on our predecessors’ actions over the years to advance the Hereford breed and to make it more valuable and marketable.

Mead

When you watch something grow, it is easier to stand back. I feel it is time for me to give back to the AHA. I would like to share my philosophy, passion and years of experience.

Schubel

Having bred Hereford cattle for upwards of 30 years, now more than ever, I am a passionate believer in the functionality of the breed, which enables all segments of producers to realize profits in their respective operations. I would like the opportunity to play a role in shaping the Association’s programming to encourage high-quality genetics that fit the different geographic areas where cattle are produced balanced against the need for cow-calf producers to have profit as their highest priority.

Thomas

Herefords have been my life’s passion. Over the years I’ve watched the unselfish dedication of past and present Board members serve our membership so that individuals and operations like ours can benefit from the program, technology and marketing services. I was humbled to have been asked by the nominating committee to run for the Board and would be honored to serve the membership unselfishly. My years of involvement in the corporate world have taught me that having diversity and different mindsets on a team is of great value. Bringing the challenges and ideas from the membership to the table and being able to open-mindedly work through those is a must.

/ October 2016

Waggoner

Like many friends and acquaintances within the Hereford industry who are passionate about our breed, I am committed to supporting and contributing to advancement of Hereford to its appropriate position at the top of the beef cattle business. Being a member of the board will serve as an extension of my current work and provide an effective forum to devote my energy and ideas in support of the Hereford cattle industry. It also represents an important way to say “thank you” for the many ways the Association and individual members have helped me over the last 55 years.

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

It is very encouraging to see the steps the Association has taken in implementing Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™), genomics and, more recently, the $CHB program as well as the many research projects that it has been involved in. However, we need to continually be looking at ways to help producers add value to their cattle. One way is to continue to move Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) toward a premium product so those who are producing and feeding Herefordinfluenced cattle can be more competitive in garnering premiums in value-based programs. The AHA has been involved in studies to evaluate Hereford genetics and needs to continue to expand those projects such as the National Reference Sire Program to continue to collect performance, carcass and feed efficiency data as well as cost-ofproduction data. Value-based marketing is growing and will become more and more relevant in the future even into the calf and feeder cattle segments of the industry. We need to be exploring areas where we can help our producers document genetics, performance, efficiency and carcass traits so they can take advantage of these markets as they develop. Producers need incentives to use Hereford genetics. We need to increase our presence in the commercial AI sector. We need to be producing sires that can be used with confidence in commercial heifer programs.

Coates

To be honest, Craig Huffhines, Jack Ward and the previous board members in recent years have done tremendous work with expected progeny differences (EPDs), profit indexes, genomics and data mining. I want to continue their work and to expand it to emphasize to the cattle industry and the general public that Hereford is the breed best suited to move the beef industry forward and to provide sustainable cattle to feed the world’s population. As we continue to conduct research and to improve our performance data, we can show cattlemen through the consumer that our breed is right for the time.

Mead

I would like to see CHB expand to allow more members to benefit. Working with other Board members, I would like to have goals that propel staff to continue to enhance the future of the breed.

Schubel

Continued interaction by the AHA with the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center, the Beef Improvement Federation and the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium is critical to ensuring the Hereford breed stays relevant and profitable. Additionally, the

Hereford.org

AHA needs, to a limited extent, to make information available to the members concerning human nutrition and consumer demand determinates so breeders and producers are sensitized to what consumers want when they purchase our product.

It is also important to realize that our breed and Association are made up of a very diverse group of breeders. No two operations are the same. From those producing junior heifer prospects to commercial bulls or elite purebred breeders, large or small, commercial or registered, we all must work together to advance Hereford cattle.

Thomas

Looking back at what shaped my own children’s lives, I would have to say the junior program, which is possibly second to none, should continue to be a strong priority for the Association. I want to applaud all those involved in making it what it is today and challenge each of us to continue to think outside the box in creating even more activities that will capture the interest of today’s juniors. Another goal would be to enhance the market share for Hereford cattle. One of those avenues is through the continued growth of the CHB program. Our customers are beginning to witness an increased demand for Hereford-influenced calves, and as the program continues to grow, I believe that the commercial cow-calf producer will see a premium for those animals that qualify for CHB. As breeders, and with as much support as economically possible from the Association, I believe that we need to be involved in our communities. We can do this by hosting cattle tours and junior livestock judging events — ultimately telling the Hereford success story. The use of genomic testing technology and the refinement of those gene markers are a must for the accelerated improvement of the Hereford breed. Combining these with even more research projects and then networking those results to the commercial cowcalf sector will stimulate a greater market share for Hereford cattle.

Coates

I believe some of the biggest issues facing AHA, as well as the entire cattle industry, in the next decade are sustainability, safety and dietary benefits. I wrote an article for Texas Hereford in December 2002 documenting the benefits of beef. In human medicine, we call this evidence-based medicine. This dogma came into force in the 1990s, and we can use this same ideology to advance the Hereford breed. The term was defined in 1996 as “the conscientious and judicious use of current best evidence from clinical care research in the management of individual patients.” I believe that we should use this same approach to expand on our current database and to document the benefit of using Hereford cattle in a national cow herd that is predominantly black-hided.

Mead

With the rapid increase in the use of genomic testing, I think the Association must continue to be on the forefront to improve the breed and to offer customers the best information available. We need to maintain financial stability to be able to fund programs that benefit all members. This, with increased registration and transfers, will allow us to continue to grow.

Schubel

Waggoner

Along with other breed associations, the AHA will need to continually address the criticism that the environmental footprint of the cattle industry is too large and burdensome.

• Continue and intensify use of the breed improvement tools now in place, and those on the horizon, and elevate the positive endproduct value of Hereford cattle in the beef industry.

qualities of docility, heterosis, maternal instincts, meat quality and fundamental physical soundness (feet, eyes and environmental adaptability).

• Expand the use of the most current and cost-effective

communication platforms to reach and influence targeted and broader areas of market potential from millennial prospective members to end-product consumers.

Thomas

• Focus on maintaining and enhancing the core Hereford

• Doubling down to focus on youth — elevating the already

terrific youth programs to enhance the pleasure and business aspects the breed offers through creative use of technology to broaden awareness and appeal.

What is the biggest issue the AHA will face in the next five to 10 years? How does the Board prepare to face that issue? Birdwell

With cattle prices retracting to lower levels, production costs and efficiency will continue to become more important to producers along with ways to add value to their cattle. The Hereford breed should be poised to take advantage of these situations. Value-based marketing systems will continue to grow in all segments of the industry, and we, as an Association, should have relevant programs in place to help producers take advantage of opportunities and add value to their cattle. Even though we have seen tremendous growth and acceptance of Hereford cattle, there is still a generation of commercial producers who haven’t yet used Hereford genetics. It is important that we reach these producers by breeding industry-relevant cattle that hit the targets of economically important traits such as calving ease, marbling, feed efficiency, fertility and growth. Our customers should dictate the kind of cattle we breed and the programs we implement. Our goal should be to make our product as well as theirs profitable.

Hereford.org

There are a multitude of issues and opportunities facing the AHA:

• Continued growth of market share through education of the benefits of a Hereford influence.

• Continued growth and utilization of affordable genomic testing for

• Continued effort on the global market of U.S. Hereford genetics. • Continued effort to keep the showring focused on functional cattle

our breeders.

that can and will be a positive contribution to the breed.

The biggest issue the AHA will face is its ability to remain a face and a voice to every member of the Association. It is necessary for the Association to be on the cutting edge of technology. With that said, with this ever changing technology, it sometimes becomes less user-friendly. Knowing that economics need to be considered, the AHA and the Board need to remain personally invested in its members as much as possible.

Waggoner

Promoting and advocating the importance of producing enough of the “right kind” of beef cattle to meet consumer demand while maintaining the fundamental soundness and characteristics of legacy Hereford cattle, i.e. not diminishing breed identity. I believe the Board can help accomplish these goals by expanding the use of more advanced and cost effective technological tools including database development, genomic testing and selection, and communication platforms. With technology changing every day, creating opportunities in both the way we conduct our business and how we communicate the message to a larger audience are critical elements of the challenge and solution. Through wise and strategic use of these tools, it is my respectful view the Association can anticipate and stay ahead of the changes that will be facing our business in the years ahead for the betterment of our membership and breed.

A Harvest to Remember Hereford Youth Foundation of America Generates $2 Million for Leadership and Education.

s the sun was setting over the grapevines perched in perfect rows on the rolling hills of Sonoma County, Hereford breeders and supporters were raising their paddles and bidding to make a difference. The Harvest II fundraising event benefitting the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) generated $2 million for leadership events and scholarships Aug. 26-27 at the Kunde Family Winery and Vineyards in Kenwood, Calif. The Harvest II event, hosted by Jim Mickelson, American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors member, and his wife, HYFA Board of Directors member Marcia Mickelson, brought together 185 Hereford enthusiasts from across the United

States to Boot Hill on their estate and welcomed dozens of bidders online. “The Hereford Youth Foundation of America has become an important partner in the future successes of our juniors,” Jim says. “It was with great pleasure and pride that we welcomed Hereford enthusiasts from across the United States to invest in the future of the Hereford breed.” The Harvest II auction grossed $350,000 on 39 lots and was managed by National Cattle Services Inc., Eddie and Ruth Sims. The high-selling lot was a trip to Las Vegas for the 2017 National Finals Rodeo (NFR) complete with round-trip airfare courtesy of Bob and Lisa Norton, BioZyme Inc., on the Norton’s private Cessna Citation CJ4 aircraft.

Lot 1 in The Harvest II auction was the Bronze Bull that made its debut at the record-breaking 2016 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Madison, Wis. This lot was offered by the 2016 JNHE host committee.

One bull rider from Missouri is aiming to make his name known beyond the bucking chutes. by Kayla M. Wilkins

Cole Fischer is a professional bull rider as well as the leader of his family’s Hereford operation.

New Faces in an Age-Old Industry

Although Cole Fischer runs the Hereford operation, keeping things in order is a family affair. The Fischer family — Emil, Juanita, Curt and Cole — is pictured here.

/ October 2016

riving down a winding two-lane highway leaving Jefferson City, Mo., looking across rolling hills on the right-hand side, those passing by have seen a consistent sight of a small farm with a few cows for the last six generations. The view of a large, red barn behind a brick home with a century farm sign out front has not changed a bit over the years. However, there is more than what is seen from the blacktop. What was just a small hobby herd a mere year and a half ago has since transformed into a new, progressive Hereford operation spearheaded by Cole Fischer on a quest for excellence in producing Hereford seedstock.

Circle F Herefords Although Hereford production is new to the scene for the Fischer family, the land Circle F Herefords sits on today is rich in history. The property has been in the Fischer family for more than a century and has always housed small-scale agriculture production. Juanita Fischer, Cole’s grandmother, reflects on her childhood on the same ground where her kids played as children and where her grandkids have even grown up. She remembers when she was a young girl and she and her three sisters watched their dad grow crops and raise chickens and pigs to provide for their family. Because of those cherished memories, Juanita has only one request for the land she has grown so fond of over the years. “I want to see that century sign continuing to grow in numbers and stay in the family,” she says. As the years pressed on, the focus of the farm changed but still preserved its agriculture roots. Her father sold off many acres, and when Juanita married, she and her husband, Emil, raised their family on the property, maintaining a small herd of Hereford-influenced cattle. Curt Fischer, Juanita and Emil’s son, grew up helping his dad cut hay and feed the calves for fun, first sparking his excitement for agriculture. Once Curt grew up, like many, he left home to pursue his own dream of opening an auto-body business in the nearby town of Lohman. After many years of success, his oldest son suggested they expand the business into Jefferson City. Without hesitation, Curt jumped on the opportunity to

move back, grow his business and help his parents maintain their small farm. Little did he know, Curt’s son, Cole, would soon take interest in drastically changing their hobby herd for the better. The excitement for Hereford cattle runs deep for the Fischers, as they have always been partial to the breed, beginning with Emil years ago. “I always thought that in a green pasture, red and white cows were beautiful,” he says. “The colors just went together like I think they should.” Although the Fischers always had Hereford-influenced cattle, Cole decided to start this new venture about a year and a half ago. In contrast to many producers, prior to raising registered Herefords, Cole had little to no experience in the registered or commercial cattle industries. He grew up in rural areas, but just a short time ago, the idea of making breeding decisions based on expected progeny differences (EPDs), exhibiting in breed shows and artificially inseminating cows was foreign. Cole says he can’t help being excited about the future of Circle F Herefords, but he also has other dreams on his radar during this walk of life.

Making a name In addition to managing their developing herd, Cole is a professional bull rider, traveling the country with goals of shiny belt buckles and big checks on his mind. Cole recalls the first time he hopped on a bull about three years ago and notes he lasted only a second, but the challenge of the sport inspires him to keep pushing forward, never allowing him the opportunity to look back. “It is the challenge,” Cole says. “You can ride a really good bull and then tomorrow fall off one that is not very good. On the dayto-day, you just don’t know what is going to happen and that keeps me going.” The desire to be the best at bull riding translates over to his Hereford operation. In fact, it was bull riding that first spurred him into the journey with Hereford cattle. Cole has had much recognition in the sport, but he soon found his career cannot last forever. After getting hurt about a year and half ago, the time at home shed light on his passion for raising Hereford cattle on a more serious level. Hereford.org

He says, much like bull riding, open mind to learn all they can to getting serious about cattle make their small operation shine production came with a hefty amongst the best one day. learning curve. “We are just going to work as “I figured all you had to do hard as we can and keep going was fill out some paperwork and up,” Cole says. “I think we are on there it would be,” he explains. the right path.” “That is not what it was, it is a lot Curt notes the many changes more work than that.” that have developed over the Even with the workload short year and half they have adding to his busy rodeo been actively breeding cattle schedule, Cole says the cattle for a superior product.

He attributes much of their growth to mentors within the industry and other producers, one of which is Joe Rickabaugh, director of field staff for the American Hereford Association (AHA).

Wintertime Preparation

Some herds do well through winter on pasture without additional feed except for a salt or mineral supplement. However, in some instances, cows may need a protein supplement to utilize low-quality forages.

Cold-Weather Cows Plan ahead for winter management. by Heather Smith Thomas

he season has changed and fall is in full swing. But thinking ahead is something cattlemen do well — now is the time to plan for coldweather management. This time of year is a good time to assess body condition of pregnant cows when calves are weaned and to create a plan for providing enough feed or pasture so they can maintain or regain

moderate to good condition before their next calving. According to James England, DVM, a University of Idaho professor, cows must be in good condition — preferably body condition score (BCS) 6 — to handle cold weather, calving and rebreeding. “With adequate condition at the start of winter and good maintenance throughout, most

animals winter well,” England says. “Unless there’s adequate nutrition, anything else we do is set up for failure.” As stated by Robert Callan, DVM, a professor at Colorado State University, “The most important aspect of winter beef cow management is adequate nutrition that will allow cows or heifers to maintain or achieve moderate body condition score — about 5

to 6 on a scale of 9 — throughout winter, as well as meet the demands of pregnancy. In times of severe weather conditions, this means additional nutrients, and in some cases, additional shelter from inclement weather.” Thin cows cannot handle the stress of bad weather and will, therefore, lose more weight. It takes more feed to put weight back on during cold weather.

Spread out cattle and hay Having cattle at pasture through winter is healthier for cows and calves the next spring rather than congregating them by feeding hay. When spread out over large areas, they are not exposed to as much

fecal contamination; their intestinal tracts don’t get much buildup of E. coli and Clostridium perfringens, for instance, both of which can be transmitted later to newborn calves via manure.

If cattlemen must feed hay, they should spread it out in large pastures and change feeding areas daily, rather than congregating cattle in small feeding areas or feeding them day after day in the same area. HW

Low-cost winter grazing alternatives Some stockmen reduce winter feed costs and labor by relying less on forage that must be hauled to the cows and more on letting cows harvest feed themselves. There are several ways to do this, including stockpiling pastures, windrowing forage for winter use and bale grazing. “Keeping cows grazing stockpiled or windrowed forages as long as possible and then keeping harvestedforage feeding to a minimum is essential to a low-cost wintering program and profitable cow-calf operation,” says Jim Gerrish, American Grazing Lands Services in May, Idaho. “Closely monitor cow body condition and then use strategic supplementation to stretch out stockpiled pastures. Even with the relatively high cost of adding protein to the diet, using a supplement to enhance stockpiled pastures or rangeland is almost always a lowercost option than full feeding hay.” With stockpiled or windrowed forage, cattle will graze through relatively deep snow to get at it — unless snow

Cows in poor condition do not have an insulating layer of fat and must rob more of their body reserves to create heat energy to keep warm. They continue to lose weight, and it’s a vicious circle.

is thickly crusted. There is less waste if portable electric fencing is utilized to move cattle gradually across a field. These methods can stretch harvested feed supplies by lengthening the grazing season, but care must be taken to monitor cattle condition and to make sure cattle have access to water and windbreaks. The same is true with bale grazing. A calculated number of bales can be placed in rows, with twines removed before wet, freezing weather makes that task difficult. Electric fence allows cattle access, using the next row as a handy place to insert posts rather than trying to drive them into frozen ground. Some ranchers bale-graze with young stock, too, letting weaned calves and yearlings into each new section first, with dry cows following to clean up the rest of the hay — moving both groups when cows finish their section. Manure is spread over fields uniformly and is a plus for next year’s growing season. HW

to date, parasite populations assessed, and cattle dewormed and deloused, if necessary. Lice can be a serious winter problem in northern climates. Worms can adversely affect performance whenever cattle are intensely managed, grazing the same pastures repeatedly, with the grass contaminated with feces rather than having the cattle spread over arid rangelands. If lice are a winter problem, the best time to delouse cattle is late fall or early winter before lice begin to increase in numbers. Lice

thrive in cold weather and also have thick hair to hide in — cattle cannot remove them as readily with their rough tongues. A good kill on lice in early winter, before these parasites affect cattle performance, will generally keep cattle relatively free of these unwanted boarders until spring.

If cattle are not fed additional energy, they metabolize body fat to keep warm and lose weight. During extremely cold or windy weather, cows should be given all the hay they’ll clean up or a protein supplement on dry pastures to encourage them to eat more. As long as their protein levels are adequate, cows can process sufficient roughage to provide energy and body heat. Good windbreaks during severe weather are also

instances, cows may need a protein supplement to utilize lowquality forages. If snow covers grass deeply or weather gets cold, however, they may need hay. If weather is cold or stormy, cattle will need more energy to maintain body heat. Forages can adequately supply energy because fermentation breakdown

Importance of fall nutrition Stockmen often underestimate the importance of adequate nutrition in the fall, not paying attention to whether cows are losing or gaining weight. According to Ron Skinner, a veterinarian and cattle breeder in Hall, Mont., about 70% of the open cows in Montana each year are the result of inadequate fall nutrition rather than what they’re fed in the spring before and during breeding. Fall feed and body condition play large roles in a cow’s ability to have a healthy calf, feed it properly and breed back again. If cows get behind in the fall in body weight

Match cattle to their environment

Probably the most important factor that affects winter cow management is whether cattlemen have selected the type of cattle that do well on their ranch — under their conditions. Mature cows won’t be thin going into winter if producers have selected for efficient cattle, unless the area had serious drought. Cows that need extra feed to maintain body condition and stay in the herd under normal conditions are not the kind producers want, especially if they are seedstock producers selling genetics to cattlemen who run commercial cattle. These cattlemen want cattle that can make a living without pampering. If pastures are managed properly — without overgrazing or running out of grass — forageefficient cows won’t lose weight during fall or winter grazing. They generally gain weight after weaning their calves, going into winter with reserves of fat. Many factors, including climate, influence a winter-feeding program and whether additional feed besides pasture needs to be provided, but it’s most profitable to match cattle to feed sources rather than to try to create a feeding program to fit cattle that won’t do well in the environment.

and/or important trace minerals, these deficits have a longer impact than people realize. Cows need adequate, balanced diets, which may merely mean adding a trace mineral supplement to native pasture or a small amount of good hay or a protein supplement if grass becomes too dry or hay if the grass becomes depleted or snowed under. If the cow is deficient in protein or phosphorus through fall and winter, she won’t rebreed on time after she calves again. HW

“Most important in winter cow management is to make sure you are meeting your cows’ nutritional requirements according to where they are in their gestational stage.” Salt should always be provided, since this is the mineral most lacking in forages. In many geographic locations, forage may also be lacking in copper, selenium or zinc. “Trace mineral status of the cow affects all aspects of reproduction and production, as well as future well-being of her calf,” Williams says. In a drought, grass may be short on protein and phosphorus. As a general rule, rangeland grasses hold their feed values better through winter than “tame” or irrigated pastures or crop residues. These tame forages lose nutrient value once they dry up or freeze, and cattle generally need supplemental feed like hay, silage, grain, or a protein supplement and mineral mix to complement that type of forage. If pasture is gone or snowed under and hay is being fed, having cattle in several groups is best to meet their different needs. “You don’t want to ‘waste’ hay or money by feeding better quality feed than they need,” Williams says. “Cows in early or mid-gestation don’t need your best hay. Save it for later when they are calving or feed

it to heifers and 2-year-olds. The only way to truly know the nutritional value of hay is to have it analyzed in a lab. I’ve seen some ‘ugly’ hay that was high in protein, and some hay with great color that had very little protein.” Weaned calves need the highest quality feed. Next would be pregnant heifers and 2-yearolds that just weaned off calves. Being a 2-year-old in winter is a critical time; these young cows are still growing and may be pulled down in body condition while nursing their first calves and being pregnant again. If they go into winter thin, they need to catch up in body condition so they can give birth to healthy calves and rebreed on time. Mature, dry cows can get by on lesser quality forage, whether pasture or hay, until late gestation. They don’t need as much protein or energy because they’re not growing or needing to gain weight. Adequate protein is crucial during the last 60 days of pregnancy for development of the unborn calf and for the cow’s formulation of colostrum. Timely vaccination with a scour prevention vaccine needs to be administered at this time also if scours are typically a problem in the herd. HW

Profit Thieves Controlling lice, grubs and other winter parasites in cattle can increase profits. by Heather Smith Thomas

arasites are profit robbers, and a large number of internal parasites take a toll on cattle performance. During winter, external parasites like lice can be hard to see unless you confine the affected animal, part the hair and look closely.

Lice These tiny parasites are a common winter problem for cattle. Heavy infestations, especially sucking lice, rob nutrition from cattle just when

they need it most. A lice-infested animal may lose weight and become more susceptible to disease. The irritation and itching from chewing lice results in hair loss and less insulation against cold weather and is hard on facilities when cattle are constantly rubbing on fences. Thomas Craig, DVM, a professor in the Department of Veterinary Pathobiology at Texas

A&M University, says the number of lice, especially sucking lice, has dropped since ivermectin came on the market. “I was trying to find some sucking lice for a project teaching our students and drew a blank,” Craig says. “However, chewing lice are doing well in places and with weather changes and movement of livestock

they are thriving. By contrast, in our area cattle grubs almost disappeared, but the past several years they have come back in areas where they were not seen for 20 years, possibly due to livestock movement.”

the lice population will soon diminish on its own. Campbell says using a pouron product in late winter will control lice for the remainder of the winter. He encourages cattlemen to discuss treatments with a veterinarian.

Grubs At a veterinary conference in 1994, 50 veterinarians were asked which cattle parasite ranked as the number one concern. The answer was cattle grubs. In earlier years, these pests were widespread. Then, for a while, grub problems decreased with the use of modern pour-on and injectable products. But, in some regions, grubs are making a comeback and, in some cases, have been found in herds that were reportedly treated for parasites. Whether the grubs have developed some resistance to the products or whether producers have become complacent is unsure. The fact remains that grubs can have a negative effect on cattle performance. Studies have shown that calf gains may decrease 0.10 lb. a day or more because of grubs. Heel flies, the parents of cattle grubs, pester cattle, hovering and darting around their legs as they lay eggs on the leg hairs. They are most active early in fly season, which means during winter in the South, early spring in the central states, and spring through summer in the Northern states. Heel flies attack northern cattle during May, June and July. The heel flies resemble honeybees in size and shape. Like the bot fly that bothers horses, these aggressive flies do not feed as adults; individuals live about one week — just long enough to mate and lay eggs. The heel flies do not actually land on cattle, but the females hover close to the legs as they attach their eggs to individual hairs. Once the egg is laid and glued to the hair, it hatches in three to seven days and the tiny first-stage larva crawls down the hair and burrows through the skin of the leg and then spends two to four months migrating up through the animal’s body. One species travels to the esophageal wall and the other goes to the spinal column where they lodge and grow for a while; then both proceed to the animal’s back to spend their second and third stages,

the warble or grub stage, in the tissue beneath the skin of the back, making breathing holes through the skin. After four to six weeks of rapid growth in the grub stage, the larvae emerge through the breathing holes and fall to the ground where they pupate. Depending on weather conditions, adult flies then emerge from the pupae in one to three months, completing the one-year life cycle

and are ready to seek out cattle on which to lay their eggs. Grubs first start appearing in the backs of cattle about midSeptember in Southern states and January or later in Northern regions. They emerge through the skin in November in Texas and not until the first part of March in Montana. There are minor losses in daily gains in cattle, but the main losses continued on page 62...

Liver flukes In regions with liver flukes, they should be included in a parasite control program, says Thomas Craig, DVM, a professor in the Department of Veterinary Pathobiology at Texas A&M. Time the treatment for flukes at the proper stage in their life cycle to help Liver flukes prevent further contamination of pastures. Cattle ingest these tiny parasites as cysts attached to plants that grow in or near water. The tiny flukes are released from the cysts during digestion in the cow. They bore through the gut wall and migrate to the liver, where they feed and destroy tissues and then migrate to the bile ducts, where they grow into adults and lay eggs. They remain there, laying eggs. Eggs travel with the bile and are passed in manure. If manure ends up in a wet area, the eggs hatch into free-swimming miracidia and search for snails. They penetrate the snails that inhabit marshes or wet areas and undergo another phase of development within the snails. Later they emerge from the snails and attach to vegetation and encyst to be eaten by cattle and start the cycle all over again. To control flukes, cattlemen need an effective product that is administered when the flukes are becoming adults. “Here in the South we get the best bang for our buck in treating liver flukes in late fall, going into winter,” Craig says. “Even though transmission of flukes is earlier in the year, the drugs are not effective against immature stages. So we have to wait awhile until they are more vulnerable. It takes about 12 weeks before a fluke starts producing eggs — from the time the animal picks up the infection. The egglaying stage of the life cycle is when the fluke is most vulnerable to treatment.” Some drugs like Ivomec-Plus will get them at that stage, according to Craig. Albendazole works, but it shouldn’t be used too early. “One of the problems in dealing with liver flukes is that the drugs presently available in North America, used at prescribed dosage, will only kill adult flukes in the liver,” Craig says. “They do a pretty good job but the flukes have already done their damage in the animal by the time you kill them. Most of the damage is done during their early migration through the liver; we don’t have an effective drug to kill them during that period of their life cycle.” When cattle are treated for flukes, what’s actually happening is that producers are treating to protect snails so the life cycle won’t be continued. “Then there won’t be as many flukes developing in snails to be passed on and picked up by cattle,” Craig says. Snails are the intermediate host and necessary to the life cycle of the fluke. “We try to treat at a time that we can lower the potential for further contamination of the pasture so the snails don’t become infected,” Craig says. “Thus we have to know when the pastures are at highest risk in a particular geographic area. In northern regions, autumn is when the cattle are picking up the greatest numbers of flukes.” The larval migration and maturation within the cow takes another eight to 15 weeks, so eggs may not show up in manure until December or January or even later. The best time to treat flukes is after the flukes have matured enough to be situated in the bile ducts but have not had time yet to lay very many eggs. HW

Joe Campbell, DVM, senior veterinarian, cattle professional services, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica Inc., in Florissant, Colo., says the two types of cattle lice — sucking and chewing — both reproduce at a more rapid rate on the animal during cold weather. However, in hot weather, the population of lice on an animal diminishes substantially on its own. He says when treating for lice, it’s important to treat as late as possible in the fall to drive the population down before cold weather so there won’t be a big increase in lice numbers before spring. “Otherwise, if we treat too early, lice numbers will build up again and we’ll have to treat again,” he explains. Campbell says most of the products producers use for lice control are effective, but none will kill 100% of the lice on all cattle. “There may be some left, and those lice will start to reproduce again,” Campbell says. Some animals seem more susceptible to lice and serve as carriers to spread lice to others in the herd. His advice to producers is to use a pour-on product because it will control both sucking and chewing lice. Injectable endectocides that kill internal and external parasites kill only the sucking lice that feed on blood and will not affect the chewing lice. Large numbers of sucking lice affect cost of production because they can retard the growth and hinder the health of an animal. “Chewing lice are more responsible for a lot of the problems we see, however, because the cattle are rubbing on everything, and losing hair,” Campbell says. “This is hard on facilities; the cattle may knock down fences with their constant rubbing.” He instructs that once a group of cattle has been treated, producers should not introduce new animals to the group unless the new cattle have been treated. “Even putting treated animals into a corral where there were untreated animals may provide a chance for exposure, there may be a few viable lice still on the hair that was rubbed off on fences,” he says. “During cold weather, however, the lice won’t live very long apart from a host.” If cattle start rubbing again in late winter, they may or may not need retreatment, depending on the severity of the renewed lice population and how late in the winter signs of lice are noticed. “If it’s still early, such as February and early March and there is still a lot of cold weather ahead, it pays to retreat them,” Campbell explains. If it’s late March or early April and the days are getting longer and warmer,

occur in hide damage and excess trim from the back area where the migration of the grub has occurred. It has been estimated that feedlots lose more than $2.50 per head in cattle that have not been treated for grubs. Though traditional recommendations are to not treat cattle for grubs during winter because of side effects due to grubs dying next to the spine, many feedlots prefer to treat for grubs even in winter since side effects have been minimal. Veterinarians have witnessed a small number of “downer” cattle following grub treatment in winter months — usually occurring November through February — but with treatment this type of reaction proves to be only a small setback for cattle. Control of adult heel flies is nearly impossible because of their short lifespan. Control is aimed at destroying first-stage larvae within the cattle before they travel to the animals’ backs. This approach also ensures flies will not hatch out the next season, preventing future infestations. The most effective treatment for grubs is the use of systemic insecticides, which are absorbed into the body to kill grubs wherever they are located at that time, administered as a pour-on, an injection or a spray. Ideally, cattle should be treated after heel fly season is over. Treatment in northern regions should be given before December; treatments in warm Southern states, no later than mid-October. Producers should seek veterinarian advice for the best time of year for grub treatment in various regions.

Worms Worms are another parasite that can hurt profit. Craig says the best time to deworm may

/ October 2016

vary from region to region, depending on climate. “Here in Texas, winter is a time of year the worms are thriving on pastures because it’s cool and moist but not too cold, whereas in northern parts of the U.S. the worms can’t survive outside the cow so they go dormant during winter and aren’t laying very many eggs. Most winter days here, our temperature gets up to 50 degrees, and worms do well. What they can’t stand is 90 to 100 degrees; they go dormant in the cow during summer heat. So summer is the best time for us to deworm—when it’s dry and hot. In the north, winter is a good time to deworm.” The transmission of worms can be slowed if they are killed while they are dormant. “I think Ostertagia, the brown stomach worm, is the most important parasite in cattle, in most of North America,” Craig says. “It’s the only one that’s important in adult cattle and can be devastating to young stock, as well. Most of the other internal parasites seen in cattle are not an issue in adults.” He says by the time cattle are 2 years old, they have developed some resistance to most worms and have low numbers. When a cow is 4 or 5 years old, she’s either developed enough immunity to keep parasites at a reasonable level, or she’s been removed from the herd because she’s not doing well. Ranchers usually don’t see clinical signs of worm infection because the signs are subtle. “One of the main things this worm does to the host is reduce appetite,” Craig says. “If cattle don’t eat as much, they don’t do as well.” Deworming at the proper time of year might improve production.

if you have a lot of older calves shedding worm eggs, this can be a recipe for problems,” he says.

Which animals should be dewormed?

Ostertagia brown stomach worm

Ostertagia goes into arrested development, or the dormant stage, and is embedded in the stomach wall in the abomasum when environmental conditions are not conducive to larval survival in pastures. The dormant worm emerges again later to mature and lay eggs when conditions improve. “In the south, just prior to when it becomes hot and dry, most of the immature worms go dormant instead of becoming adults. With fall rain they resume development,” Craig says. Then they are ready to lay eggs that pass out with manure at a perfect time for hatching larvae to thrive and to migrate onto forage plants near the manure pat. “If you are in an area with cold winter and arrested development, the only way the worms can survive in any numbers is inside the host animal. If we treat the cow during winter with a drug that’s effective against that arrested state, we’ve done the job,” he says. Craig says cattle can tolerate a few worms, but heavy infections are detrimental. Worms are generally more devastating in young animals because they have not yet developed much immunity. A young calf may not pick up worms as readily as an older calf. “The cow acts as a biological vacuum sweeper to pick up parasites from a pasture, and the calf doesn’t pick up as many. But

Craig prioritizes which cattle should be wormed by choosing the ones most likely to have problems. “Top priority would be bulls, of any age,” he says. “Their hormones make them think they are ready to breed cows at any time of year, and these hormone levels can in some ways depress the body’s immunity against parasites.” Bulls tend to have higher worm egg counts than the herd average, even though they are not sick or adversely affected by this decreased immunity. Another vulnerable group would be first-calf heifers. “They are still growing, feeding a calf and more stressed than adult cows,” he says. “If we’re trying to reduce the risks for anthelmintic resistance, yet still want the best bang for our buck in deworming, bulls and first calvers would be the two groups to deworm. Second calvers would be next, but not as crucial.” Weaning age calves also benefit from deworming. “This should be part of their backgrounding,” Craig says A producer might feel that older, thin cows might need dewormed, especially the ones that might have been kept for one last calf or kept to get more weight on them before sale. “Actually, this group would still have pretty good resistance to worms, but if you are in a fluke area it would be worthwhile to treat them for liver flukes,” Craig says.

Wintertime Preparation

Providing windbreaks for cattle reduces stress in the herd.

n many regions, wind chill can be a big issue during colder months. Planning ahead for winter weather can save money in reduced feed costs, reduced illness and health costs, and provide an increase in efficiency. When cattle are stressed by wind and cold, they seek shelter. If there are no natural windbreaks in pens or pastures, stockmen can provide artificial wind barriers to give protection from wind and drifting snow. David Ames, retired environmental physiologist at Colorado State University, did early studies at Kansas State University on cold weather effects on cattle. He developed wind chill indexes for cattle and established their critical temperatures.

“Realizing the value of windbreaks has come partly from understanding the wind chill factor,” Ames says. “The impact of wind chill, in combination with energy requirements for cattle during cold weather, suggests there is a lot of value in feed cost savings, well-being of the animals, etc., if they are protected from wind when temperature drops below their thermo-neutral zone.” Ames says the army developed the wind chill index for humans earlier. He notes the difference between humans and livestock is the presence of a hair coat. In cold weather, the hair coat stands up fluffy with tiny air spaces between the hairs, creating excellent insulation to hold body heat in and to keep

cold out. This hair “blanket” works well to keep a cow warm — unless the hair gets wet and flattens, allowing moisture next to the skin. When cattle get wet, or if wind blows hard enough to separate the hair, they are as vulnerable to cold as if they were smooth-skinned. “If wind blows with enough velocity, the insulating quality of hair is lost,” Ames says. “It’s like blowing the coat off your back; it blows holes in that hair coat. In those conditions, windbreaks become more important.” Wind speeds become an issue at velocities of more than 10 miles per hour. Ames says the first response of a cow to a wind chill situation is to try to get out of the

wind. This is when cattle head for the trees or brush or into a draw or use a manmade windbreak.

Variety of windbreaks In many parts of the country there are no natural shelters, and on some ranches, there are no trees. “In some instances, ranchers have used big bales of hay, letting cattle eat their windbreak during winter. This works well, especially if you move the windbreak to different locations each year. A windbreak will collect cattle and they crowd there and impact the grass and soil. We put out more bales in different areas the next year,” Ames says. Stacked bales are not the best windbreaks but do give protection for a large area. “There are advantages and disadvantages — but you can move these bale windbreaks every year or even during winter,” he explains. “How much effort you want to make in building a windbreak necessitates looking at cost versus benefit.” If cattle are given the opportunity to go into a draw or behind a hill or behind some trees — compared to standing out on flat, bare ground — the cost is low. “But when you start putting posts in the ground to hold a windbreak, and put up lumber, that adds to the cost,” he says. “The fact there are windbreaks throughout the West suggests there must be some value, or people wouldn’t build them.” Hereford.org

Windbreaks in Nebraska feedlots show an economic advantage. Ames says the value is harder to quantify for cow-calf operators but several designs have been shown to lower energy feed costs in winter. He notes there are good plans for windbreak designs available. Engineers and animal scientists from North Dakota and Nebraska have created worksheets on building windbreaks. “One famous kind of windbreak in Wyoming is a half circle, because you don’t always know which direction wind will come from,” Ames says. Half circles can catch a north wind, west wind and a southwest or northwest wind. “In a half circle you can protect from every direction except an east wind, which is normally not a direction we get wind. I’ve seen some windbreaks in Wyoming that are more than a half circle,” he says. University of Wyoming Extension Beef Cattle Specialist Steve Paisley says there are many ways to create windbreaks. “You can buy fabric windbreaks and attach them with zip-ties or lace them to existing panels or fence,” he says. “This is a short-term fix that works fairly well.” Paisley says these windbreaks have been used in pens at the University of Wyoming, and though they are not long-term, they have lasted fairly well. “I don’t know how long they actually last, but my parents in western Nebraska have some in their calving pens that have been there for more than 10 years,” he says. “I would guess these fabric windbreaks would have at least a five-year lifetime or longer, depending on how well they are attached and how much the wind can grab.” During drives around the countryside, Paisley observes what other ranchers do to provide relief for their herds. “North of Cheyenne a lot of oil field tires are used as windbreaks,” he says. “Up around Douglas and Gillette you’ll see abandoned oil storage tanks on their sides. There’s probably a low cost solution in your own area, using whatever is readily available and inexpensive.”

Advantages of porous windbreaks Ames says the design of a windbreak is important. “With a solid wall — such as a plywood sheet — wind goes up and over and dips right down behind it. You need openings creating at least 20% porosity. That gives a larger downwind effect, with a greater area behind the windbreak that provides protection.” Porous windbreaks, such as slats on a fence with small spaces Hereford.org

Portable windbreaks enable producers to utilize pastures that have no shelter, trees or brush.

between them, work the best in terms of how much area behind them can provide wind reduction. A solid structure only gives protection immediately behind it. “All you need is about 80% wind blockage,” Paisley says. “Much of the research on this was done in the 1970s and 1980s by Bob Jairell, here in Wyoming. He developed most of the snow fences that came into common use.” Wind will go over a solid wall, according to Ames. “If you use slats, some of the air flows through at a much lower velocity, and protects animals much farther out,” he says. “If you build windbreaks too high, however, it costs more because you have to use taller posts.” Lorne Klein, grazing and forage specialist at Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, says optimum protection is obtained with a fence porosity of 25 to 33%, which means only 75 to 66% of the windbreak is solid. “For example, for 25% porosity, you could place 6-inch boards 2 inches apart,” he says. “For 33% porosity, 6-inch boards would be placed 3 inches apart. With a porous windbreak, the protected area behind it extends 8 to 10 times the height of the windbreak.” If cattle are standing right next to the wall to be out of the wind, the boards are too close together. A 30% porosity gives a much larger protected area; cattle can benefit from a proper windbreak even when they are 20 feet behind it. This gives more protection to more cows. Diagrams showing how this factor works and why a porous fence is more beneficial than a solid one can be seen in the document “Portable Windbreak Fences,” which can be found at saskatchewan.ca/agriculture.

Portable windbreaks Klein says stockmen in western Canada are discovering the benefits of portable windbreaks.

Create windbreaks There are many variables, and there is no one correct way to build a windbreak. “As long as you can do something that protects animals from wind during cold weather, it will be helpful,” says David Ames, retired environmental physiologist at Colorado State University. “You also need to spread cattle out (not all bunched up behind one windbreak) and you don’t want them standing in cold water or mud. A windbreak should be on a high/ dry well-drained area,” he says. Figure out what might work best in specific pastures regarding where to locate the windbreaks and what type to use. Every ranch is a little different regarding natural terrain and wind direction. The air currents may be different depending on whether you are in a valley, on the plains or situated on a mountainside. “In Wyoming the state has a lot of information available regarding the prevailing wind directions,” says Steve Paisley, a University of Wyoming Extension beef cattle specialist. “A lot of wind mapping is already done. If you know the direction of prevailing winds in your area this may help.” HW

These enable producers to utilize pastures that have no shelter, no trees or brush. The ability to move windbreaks when cattle are moved to other fields is a large advantage over building permanent structures in every field. Windbreaks must be constructed in such a way that they remain stable and won’t tip over in a strong wind. Portable windbreaks need a broad base with the width of the base at least 1.5 times the height to counter the force of the wind and to keep from blowing over. They must also be ruggedly built to withstand the stresses of strong wind and of being moved to different locations.

Porus windbreaks work the best in terms of how much area behind the structure can provide wind reduction.

Windbreaks must be constructed so they remain stable in a strong wind.

“Whether a windbreak blows over or not is simply a function of three things — the height of the wall, the weight of the structure and the width of the base,” Klein says. “The mistake many people make is not having the base wide enough. Most windbreaks here are not extremely heavy because they are built of oilfield pipe and lumber, so they all weigh about the same per foot.” For the windbreak to be secure, the legs need to be 7 feet out, for an 8-foot wall. Total height is usually about 9 feet because most people build them a little off the ground to keep the bottom from being buried in snow. “Many people put the legs out 5 feet on each side, but that’s not enough to withstand a strong wind,” he says.

Some cattlemen think that porosity of the structure will help keep it from blowing over, but this is not true. The force of wind that results in tipping over a structure is a combination of pressure against the windward side and suction on the leeward side. A partially porous fence must withstand the same amount of wind force as a solid fence. Force reduction from reduced surface area is offset by increased suction when wind goes through the openings between the boards. Klein says, “Engineers tell me that the porosity, whether 10% or 50%, creates the same amount of air pressure. There is still suction on the leeward side.” Ease of movement is just as important as the sturdiness of the structure. “If you have to get off your tractor to move windbreaks, you may not take time to do it,” Klein says. “I use a 3-point hitch and move mine once a week. I’m out there with the tractor anyway, and I back up to a windbreak, lift it up, drive forward and drop it where I want it and go get the next one.” It’s important for windbreaks to be designed for easy movement using whatever equipment is available. The end-tow design needs skids or wheels but is easier to move through narrow gates. “Many producers like the side-lift design because they have a frontend loader on their tractor,” Klein says.

Reducing windchill effects pays off can alter any of those factors — keep them dry, and out of the wind — this will improve their energy efficiency and lower your energy costs when temperatures are below their critical point.” It’s a double whammy if cattle get wet. Their critical temperature is higher and the wind magnifies the cold stress. “Windbreaks can be part of the solution,” says Ames. Steve Paisley, University of Wyoming Extension beef cattle specialist, says that in a cow-calf operation, if a cow’s lower critical temperature is taken into consideration (about 20 degrees Fahrenheit) and she is exposed to wind, wind chill begins to affect her feed requirements. “A cold windy day can easily increase her requirements by 30 to 40%, some days. This can be site specific to some extent,” says Paisley. Producers try to balance the expense of putting in a windbreak with what they perceive the benefits or savings to be. A miserable blizzard in late winter or early spring can easily show the benefit of good windbreaks, preventing some of the problems that would otherwise be detrimental or even devastating in a cow-calf herd — such as chilled, stressed calves, pneumonia, frozen ears or frostbitten teats. “A windbreak is just another form of insurance policy, trying to avoid those major wrecks,” he explains. Mother Nature isn’t predictable. HW

Windbreaks for feedlots

“Cattle can survive in very cold weather, but they’ll eat a lot more and their efficiency of production drops. We’re looking at a combination of economic factors as well as health and well-being. A good windbreak can be a win-win situation where you improve everything,” says David Ames, retired physiologist at Colorado State University. “When animals start to get cold, it takes about 1% more feed for every degree (Fahrenheit) of cold. With a winter hair coat, cows don’t start to get cold at the same temperature as they would if they are wet. With summer hair or when they are wet, they start to get cold at about 50 degrees. As they grow more hair for winter, and it is dry hair, that critical temperature can drop below 20 degrees. When cows’ critical temperature is down to less than 20 degrees they may not be stressed at all. For example, when the temperature is 10 degrees on a winter day, and they have a full hair coat, cows may not need any protection. But wind chill can take the temperature down to an effective temperature of minus 10 degrees — and windbreaks have value,” he explains. Some of the coldest days for cattle are when the temperature may be higher but it’s wet. “A March day with wet and wind, at 32 degrees, is more stressful on cows than zero on a sunny winter day. A gray, windy wet day in March can make them a lot more miserable. And if they are standing in mud, this is a huge energy drain. If you

Paisley says feedlots have different requirements than cow-calf operations. Terry Mader in eastern Nebraska did a lot of environmental stress studies looking at windbreaks in feedlots,” Paisley says. “He found slight improvements in intake and performance in cattle with windbreaks during winter. If windbreaks remained in those pens during summer, however, he saw a decrease in feed intake and performance because the cattle got too hot. In warm weather cattle need a breeze to help keep them cool.” Removing windbreaks or altering them so they don’t obstruct wind in the summer can be helpful. Paisley says at the university’s research station, a lot of bulls are tested that are exposed to wind. “The windbreaks we’re using are hinged metal panels,” he says. “They act as windbreaks when they are rotated down, and during summer we rotate them up, for shade. In confinement feeding, this gives the best of both worlds. It protects feed bunks from the wind and provides shade in summer.” HW Hereford.org

Body Condition Scoring Your Herd Utilizing body condition scoring can save cattlemen dollars and time. by Rick Rasby, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, beef.unl.edu

ody condition score (BCS) describes the relative fatness or body condition of a cow herd through the use of a nine-point scale. A body condition score five (BCS 5) cow is in average flesh and represents a logical target for most cow herds. A BCS 1 cow is extremely thin while a BCS 9 cow is extremely fat and obese.

Effects on rebreeding performance The body condition score of beef cows at the time of calving has the greatest impact on subsequent rebreeding performance (Table 1). The postpartum interval is the length of time from calving to first estrus (heat) after calving.

Precalving BCS

For a cow to maintain a 365day calving interval, she must rebreed by 82 days after calving (283 day gestation + 82 day postpartum interval = 365 days). On the average, cows that calve in a BCS 3 or 4 have difficulty exhibiting their first heat by 80 days after calving. Whereas cows

that calve in a BCS 5 or 6 tend to exhibit heat by 55 days after calving and, therefore, have a better opportunity to maintain a 365 day calving interval. Although cows that calve in a BCS of 7 have a short postpartum interval, it is not economical to feed cows to a BCS 7. Thin cows at calving (BCS 4 or thinner) produce less colostrum, give birth to less vigorous calves that are slower to stand and have lower immunoglobulin levels (Table 2), thus impairing their ability to overcome early calfhood disease challenges. These factors illustrate the importance of targeting mature cows to calve in a BCS of at least 5. Because first-calf heifers have reached only about 85% of their mature weight after calving and require additional nutrients to support growth, they need to be fed so they are a BCS 6 at calving.

Hereford.org

The look and feel of body condition scoring Body condition scoring can be done using only visual indicators or a combination of visual and palpation of key bone structures for fat cover. Palpation can be done during routine processing of cows through a chute. The key areas for evaluation are the backbone, ribs, hips, pinbones, tailhead and brisket. Palpating cows for fatness along the backbone, ribs, and tailhead will help refine your skill to visually access body condition. If body condition scoring is new to you, just focus on separating cows into thin, moderate and fat groups without worrying about the numerical score. With experience, you will connect the ‘’look and feel’’ of your cows to a BCS that you can consistently determine. BCSs should be recorded so that links to productivity and herd management (particularly nutritional management) can be examined. Several years of such information could reveal, for example, needed management changes for a given age group (i.e., thin three-year-olds) of cows or might identify a sire group of females that simply didn’t fit your resources. When visually scoring body condition, you must “look through the hair coat.” Sometimes this is difficult because of a long winter hair coat. It is good training to reevaluate your BCSs when cattle are wet. You may be surprised at the impact hair coats can have on visual scores. Long, thick winter hair coats are obviously highly desirable (at least in the Northern Plains), thus actual palpation for fatness of cows may be the best choice to produce consistent body condition scoring. Drawings of

cows in BCS 1 to 9 can give an indication of how these cows would look if they were without hair. Other factors in addition to hair coat that can affect visual body condition scores are age of cow, rumen fill and stage of pregnancy. The goal of body condition scoring is to evaluate fatness independent of these factors. At first, one or more of the above factors may mislead you, but careful study of your herd through the production year will sharpen your focus so that body condition can be scored independent of the above factors. The same techniques are used to condition score cattle that have Bos Indicus genetics. Depending on the percentage of Bos Indicus genetics, the skin appears to be wrinkled or folded. Determine degree of condition at the same locations and assign a score based on the 1 to 9 scale.

When to condition score cows The greatest single factor influencing rebreeding performance of beef cows is body condition at calving, especially for spring-calving females. However, if you wait until calving to manage body condition of your cows, you will find it very difficult and expensive to increase the body condition of a lactating cow. Although evaluation of body condition can be looked at as an ongoing process, there are several key times when body condition scoring should be considered: Late summer, early fall This is an important time to condition score cows in drought years or in systems where females are managed almost entirely on vegetative or dormant grazed forage. If cows are thin, early weaning

should be considered. Nonlactating cows may pick up condition by grazing forage alone or by you feeding a small amount of supplement along with the grazed forage. If young cows are thin and grass in the pasture is decreasing in nutrient quality, strategically wean calves. Weaning time Pay particular attention to young cows weaning their first calves, as they are most likely to be thin at this time. For young cows, you may need to consider early weaning calves and giving cows access to higher quality forage. 45 days after weaning This key time will give you a good idea how fast cows are “bouncing back” after weaning. Thin cows should be gaining back condition if cow type is matched with the feed resources. 90 days before calving This is the last opportunity to get condition back on cows economically. This would be the time to separate thin cows from cows in good condition. Calving time If cows are thin, you may want to change the precalving feeding program. Because of the nutritional demands of lactation, it is difficult to get cows to condition economically after calving. Beginning of breeding season Thin cows at this time may indicate a poor match of calving season to feed sources. Maybe calving occurs too early in the spring. The period from

weaning to 90 days precalving is the best time to get serious about body condition scoring and planning the nutrition program because your strategy can have great impact. The period from calving to rebreeding may help explain the productivity (or lack thereof), but it is likely too late to have much impact on herd productivity and profitability at this point. If cows are thin, management options include early weaning when the youngest calf is 45 days old or 48-hour calf separation. Both of these management techniques will help initiate estrous cycles in beef cows. HW

Constructive Cooperation Developing good relationships with hunters can prove beneficial for landowners. by Heather Smith Thomas

ost of the wildlife habitat in the United States is on private lands. Even in western states where much of the land is federally owned, many game birds and big game animals spend most of their time on private land feeding on farmers’ and ranchers’ crops and pastures. A good relationship between hunters and landowners can be mutually beneficial but is sometimes lacking. Bill Hoyt, a rancher in southwestern Oregon, sits on the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association legislative committee and is also on a predator board with board members from a hunters’ group and is familiar with their issues. “I was also on a committee a few years ago to develop rules for landowner preference tags — given to landowners for elk,” Hoyt says. “The ranching community feels the landowners are owed special consideration by fish and wildlife departments around the western states because studies have shown that 70% of the wildlife resides on private land or spends most of its time on private land. We are feeding all these elk, deer, etc. and feel we should have some consideration in terms of harvest opportunities.”

/ October 2016

Hunters have always felt their number one priority is access, according to Hoyt. From a funding standpoint, most of the budget for the fish and wildlife departments comes from state sales of hunting licenses, tags, etc. “So, hunters feel they have a huge stake in this. Here in Oregon they don’t always appreciate the fact that the rancher gets to have a landowner preference tag or extra tags at no cost, when hunters are funding the department and want the access to hunt on private land,” Hoyt says. Efforts to bring these two parties together are important for a mutually beneficial solution. Yet this is not always easy to do. Some ranchers do allow hunters access, and this trend will grow if the ranchers can see some benefit. “Right now, I know of ranchers who are allowing hunting either for money or to help reduce wildlife impact on their property. It can work out to be beneficial for hunters and landowners, with a bit of effort on both sides,” he says.

Liability lessons Hoyt says there is an interstate that runs through the middle of his ranch and urban neighbors

Mule deer on the Roaring Springs Ranch.

on the perimeter. He cannot allow rifle hunting from the liability standpoint, but he does allow bow hunting. Liability issues should be given consideration before allowing hunter access. “If a hunter was injured because of something I had done, such as if I hadn’t cleaned up some old wire and they tripped on it and hurt themselves, or a bull chased them, then I might be liable,” he explains “It’s probably best to have a form they sign before hunting, accepting liability for any injury that might occur while they are on the property. If someone is trespassing, without your knowledge, you wouldn’t be liable.” Ranchers appreciate the hunters who ask permission and are more likely to allow them on the place again. “We don’t

mind hunters if we can let them know where they can have access, how they hunt, etc. There needs to be some communication. Some of the ranchers who do it commercially charge hunters by what they harvest — paying a certain fee for a bull elk, cow elk, deer, etc. I don’t charge them, but I do appreciate respect.” With ranchers and hunters facing many issues, Hoyt says it’s important for them to be on the same page as allies. “It takes communication, however, to make it work, and willingness to have dialogue on how to accomplish this,” he says. “There would be more cooperation between the ranching community and hunters if there were more communication.” Hoyt describes a time when he lived in Montana and had Hereford.org

hunters break fences and even shoot a cow. “Some ranchers have a few bad experiences like this and don’t allow hunting, but if they get to know the hunter and have some trust and respect it works out better,” he says.

Advantages of a good relationship Bill Wilber, Oregon rancher and chairman of the wildlife committee of the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association, says there are a number of advantages to having hunters on the land, assuming they are responsible people who respect the property. Hunters should always ask permission and should talk with the owner about where and how to hunt. Some fields and pastures may be off limits because of livestock or their proximity to ranch buildings. “One advantage to the landowner is that in a discussion with hunters prior to hunting you can ask them to be observant regarding livestock they see — such as their condition, illness or injury,” Wilber says. “You can also ask them to shut gates they find open.” Hunters can also observe water facilities and let cattlemen know if something is wrong. “There can be advantages, if you have the right kind of hunters,” Wilber says. Allowing hunting can be a win-win situation, especially if landowners have a chance to meet and screen hunters. Fee hunting creates an even closer relationship. The hunter knows there will be good hunting, and the landowner knows the hunter will respect private property.

Fostering cooperation Some states are more proactive than others in fostering good hunter-landowner relationships through access programs and fee hunting to enable the landowner to recover some of the out-ofpocket costs of feeding and providing habitat for wildlife. Fee hunting is often the only way there is some reimbursement for crop loss or damage repair costs when big game go through and damage fences. In Montana two innovative programs are helping foster better relationships. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) has the Hunter-Landowner Stewardship Project that began in 2009 and evolved into a voluntary webdelivered information system that allows landowners and hunters to participate in a self-paced interactive program. “Participants who complete the course can obtain lifetime certification in the Montana automated licensing system,” says Hereford.org

There can be a number of advantages for ranchers to have hunters on the land, assuming they are responsible people who respect the property.

Alan Charles of the Montana FWP. “Some landowners now request that hunters who want permission to hunt on their place show proof of completing this stewardship program by providing a copy of the certificate.” The Montana FWP also has a block management cooperative program in which contracts are negotiated annually between private landowners and the FWP. Charles says this program has been in place for more than 20 years. “On a typical year about 1,230 landowners voluntarily enroll about 7.6 million acres, providing more than 400,000 hunter days of recreation on private land. We have individual contracts with the landowners, regarding how to manage this regarding where they will allow hunters, and how they want them to hunt,” he says. The Montana FWP works with landowners to determine how they would like to issue permission. Many want to issue the permission themselves, meet the hunters and give them the permission slip and a map. Some landowners don’t want to deal with the hunters because they are too busy, so they ask the FWP to implement another kind of system to provide accountability. Charles says this program has worked out very well and is appreciated by both parties. Some landowners are eligible for benefits under the program, and landowners are paid to help offset the potential effects of inviting the public onto their land. This compensation may help fix roads, control noxious weeds, fix fences or may offset the cost of time the landowner has to spend dealing with hunters. “Often the landowner prefers to have hunters park outside the property and walk in to help reduce the impacts of noxious weeds, potential fire or road

damage,” Charles says. “We also realize that one of the best ways to improve hunter behavior is to get them out of their vehicle. Every step they take away from the vehicle, the more their behavior improves and the less problems you have. When people are just road hunting, driving around, drinking a six-pack and shooting from the windows, there are more problems.” Serious hunters are usually the ones who will get out and hike and are not just road hunting. A big plus for landowners is that they are protected under the state’s liability. “This is similar to the states’ recreational liability coverage,” Charles says. “It basically says that if the landowner does not charge a fee or accept anything in remuneration from the hunter, the landowner is not obliged to provide for the safety of the hunter. Unless the property owner intentionally creates a hazard, he is basically protected from liability. Someone might still sue the owner but the legal

precedent and the courts have said that if you are not operating a business and collecting fees, you are not liable.” In Montana 64% of the state is in private ownership. “Much of that is the best wildlife habitat, so we have to find ways to keep good relationships,” Charles says. “The landowners need the hunters to keep game populations down to reasonable numbers in fields and pastures. Hunters and landowners share a lot of common ground and care about the wildlife, but that gets lost in some of the issues. So our programs like block management or the stewardship program are designed to help the relationship.” Bill Wilber found out about this program while talking to a pheasant hunter who told him how easy it was to access private land in Montana. “He said the rules are very clear; the responsibility of the hunter was spelled out, and the program is well accepted. Landowners like it because they get some income from what they are producing where ordinarily they get nothing,” says Wilber. There are a number of positive factors when ranchers allow hunters on their property. “The ranchers can demonstrate good stewardship, showing hunters how we take care of the land and the wildlife, improving habitat,” Wilber says. “Many people love wildlife and hunting, but they don’t understand or appreciate the responsibility the landowners have to take care of the land.” There is an opportunity to demonstrate rancher stewardship and all the things that ranchers do that benefit wildlife. HW

Elk can be a bother for ranchers by competing with cattle for forage and even hay in the winter, but are also one of the most highly sought after big game animals for hunters.

AHA, BioZyme Inc. and HYFA Partner to Launch

‘Feed the Future’ Program S

upporting young people interested in production agriculture, and raising and showing cattle has always been important to livestock supplement manufacturer BioZyme® Inc. In September, the American Hereford Association (AHA) joined forces with BioZyme Inc. and the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) to launch the “Feed the Future” program.

BioZyme Inc. will contribute $1 to HYFA through “Feed the Future” for every bag or tub of eligible BioZyme supplement purchased by AHA members through 2017. “We are thrilled to be launching this new program with our longtime friends and allied industry partners from BioZyme Inc.,” says Amy Cowan, AHA director of youth activities and foundation.

“They have supported the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) as our title sponsor for a decade and are taking their support to a whole new level.

Money raised from “Feed the Future” will directly benefit Hereford youth through leadership and education opportunities. Bob Norton, president and owner of BioZyme Inc., has served on the HYFA Board for the past two years and has seen firsthand the benefits of supporting Hereford youth. “I was grateful that I was given this opportunity to serve with a great group of people,” Norton

says. “People that understand that wealth doesn’t come from your wallet, but wealth comes from your heart.” Norton adds that he is thankful for the ability to give back and to pay it forward. “I can’t think of any better place to do that than with young people,” he says. “They are our legacy, and one of the joys of being involved with this organization is watching these young people grow up.” VitaFerm® products are specifically designed to promote proper rumen fermentation and gut health, by containing BioZyme’s natural, proprietary prebiotic AMAFERM®, along with a balanced nutritional profile of minerals, proteinated trace minerals and vitamins.

H EREFORD MOM DIARIES

by Christy Couch Lee

Giving Thanks It was like many virtual presentations I had done in the past with universities across the country. Technology beamed me into a classroom at Cal Poly State University in San Luis Obispo, Calif., where I visited with agricultural communications students about my career in agricultural writing and photography. I had done this many times before. But what happened a week later was new — and incredible. I opened my mailbox in rural Wellington, Ill., to see it overflowing with hand-addressed letters to me. It wasn’t my birthday. It wasn’t my anniversary. And truthfully, I don’t expect many cards or letters on those days, anyway. No, the letters spilling from my mailbox were handwritten thank-you notes from each and every student in that classroom that day in California. I’m certain the act was prompted by the instructor. But what did it mean to me? Everything. Enough that the act stands out in my mind several years later. The art of the handwritten thankyou note has been somewhat lost in the day of the instant contact. The

immediate e-mail or text or private message has overshadowed the pen and paper. In reality this makes the handwritten note even more special. Sure, a thank you in any format is appreciated. But in the age of technology, opening an envelope to a handwritten expression of thanks can never be replaced. The National Junior Hereford Association does an excellent job of providing pre-addressed thankyou notes for contest winners, class winners and champions at the Junior National Hereford Expo. In fact, this year the National Junior Hereford Association even established a thankyou-note writing station for youth. Writing thank-yous says something, and the sponsors appreciate the participants’ gesture. In my previous life, I worked for a nonprofit livestock association. After the junior national show, at which hundreds of youth exhibited, we would receive handwritten notes from a handful of young exhibitors. I promise, the names signed on those notes stood out. They represented a small percentage who took the time to

Teaching our children the skill of thank-you note writing will help them for years to come.

write a note of appreciation. And their gesture did not go unnoticed. As parents in the livestock industry, it’s important we stress the value of this gesture. After our state preview, junior national and county fair, the Lee boys know we will gather around the kitchen table to write thank-you notes to express thanks to event organizers and sponsors and families who have helped us along the way. The sentiment doesn’t have to be elaborate — simply sincere.

Is it the favorite activity of our child who would rather spend every waking moment in the barn with the cattle, horses and chickens? Not exactly. But our job as parents is to raise children to become adults who thrive in the “real world.” The handwritten note is absolutely a valuable tool for success in any career — expressing appreciation to clients, bosses and employees. In our house the anticipation of the project takes much more energy than the project itself. What we’ve found to work? Set aside a bit of time, mark it on the calendar and stick to it. Talk about what you and your family appreciate about the folks you’re thanking, and ask the kids to share it in their own words. Our boys are 11 and 8. Waylon, 11, is gradually learning how to craft a thank-you without much prompting. And we’re sure Nolan, 8, will get there before long. Helping our children establish this craft will only help them in the future. And who knows? Our kids may someday thank us for guiding them in this skill. Maybe even with a handwritten note of their own. HW

Ranchers, Farmers, Constitutional Conservatives in America IF WE SNOOZE WE LOSE Instead of just talking and grumbling, let us act. Let us pray for good and against evil. Americans have been too silent, too complacent and our lethargy has added to our decline. Our nation is in peril. No longer can we wait for other people to do it. "Let's roll." All of us. Let us each engage our congress people with resolve, our local newspapers with insightful letters, the electoral process with generous wallets and our God with fervent prayers. "If My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, I will forgive their sin, and I will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
