Progressive by Design A proven operation uses Hereford genetics to remain at the forefront. by Kayla Jennings

ach day, a rancher wakes and embarks on a routine. He may sip a cup of black coffee, check the weather report and map out the goals for the day. At this point he can decide to advance one of two ways — he can continue to follow the same routine or choose to switch gears by utilizing new, innovative techniques. There is an inherent desire in many to follow the steady footsteps of those before them. Those footsteps lead the way on a proven path, and “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.” This execution has its merits, yet even the oldest proven practices once had a new beginning initiated by a visionary with a progressive spirit. Among the many, there are a few visionaries who constantly seek new pioneering opportunities to propel their business and the industry forward. The latter describes the mantra of the Circle B in Big Horn County, Montana. Owner Fred Borman hit the ground running at the Circle B in 2000 and has not turned back. Along with his general manager, Brent Morrison, 13 other full-time employees and seasonal help, Borman has grown Circle B into one of the most impressive commercial operations in the Western United States.

Emphasis on quality The operation, spanning several locations across southeast Montana, runs approximately 3,500 Angus cows with 175 Hereford bulls. In addition, various forages are farmed to supply feed for its stock. Having reached infrastructure capacity in recent years, Borman says the goal now is to elevate quality more aggressively than ever before. One key component in achieving that goal is utilizing the highest quality genetics available. For the last 12 to 13 years, Feddes Herefords, Manhattan, Mont., has supplied Circle B’s bull battery. “We’ve been really happy with the Hereford bulls,” Borman says. “We like their temperament, and we switched to them to get a cross. We were seeking bigger, healthier calves, and hybrid vigor. The baldy calves have just been phenomenal for us. I think this winter is a testament to our calves, because this was a really calf-killing winter.” Borman is not exaggerating. The last winter in southeast Montana broke all of the records for cold temperature and snowfall — a fatal mix for a spring calf crop. However, Borman’s and Morrison’s diligence in making sound decisions from breeding to health and nutrition pulled that calf crop through. “Our guys work really hard,” Borman praises. “They were out in the cows, which is a testament to the crew that Brent’s put together,

but it’s also a testament to our nutrition program, our mineral program and our vaccine program. We don’t cut any corners.” By not cutting corners, this terminal operation has raised uniform, high-quality calves on a consistent basis to fit its markets. The consistency of its bull battery and cow herd has increased dramatically in the last five years and, in turn, creates more consistent offspring for buyers. “My goal is to have 1,100 or 1,200 of the same weight to go,” Morrison says. “We’re dang near there. We’re about 100 to 150 short.” Calf uniformity does not end in phenotypic traits but also is present in carcass merit. In fact, last year one of Circle B’s loads of 280 calves railed seemingly impossible continued on page 26...

Strength in Numbers

by Jack Ward

The AHA is in a strong position as it logged another successful year of growth. We recently closed the books on the 2017-18 fiscal year, and it was another strong year for the American Hereford Association (AHA) and its subsidiaries. All business was strong, with registrations reaching more than 81,000 supported by cow inventories at more than 121,000. In addition, Certified Hereford Beef ® increased tonnage by 6.7 percent with nearly 59 million lb. sold. The AHA is in a strong position

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

and, along with the Board of Directors and its staff, continues to focus on the strategic plan — both the core strategies and the key initiatives. Here are some of the highlights of the past fiscal year: 1) In December 2017, the AHA released an updated set of EPDs (expected progeny differences) generated from the most efficient, highly regarded genetic evaluation software, Biometric

Open Language Tools (BOLT). At the same time, two additional traits, Dry Matter Intake (DMI) and Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF), were added. Today, the weekly evaluation utilizes pedigree, phenotypes and genotypes. Because of this efficiency, there is no longer any need for interims to be produced. 2) In January 2018, we hosted another record-breaking Mile High Night Sale during the National Western Stock Show and negotiated the sale of the AHA headquarters at 1501 Wyandotte. The staff organized a move to our new headquarters in about two weeks. 3) During the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association convention, the AHA held two press conferences to update the industry on AHA happenings and to introduce the Premium Red Baldy program developed by the AHA and the Red Angus Association of America. This was a huge announcement as this was the first time two breed associations had joined together to produce a genetic program to support the commercial cow-calf industry. 4) The Board supported the development of the Hereford Maternal Advantage program, which supports improved genetics in commercial cow herds utilizing Hereford bulls to build a better cow herd or to market replacements. 5) The Hereford Advantage program continued to grow and saw premiums paid for genetically strong, Hereford-influenced feeder cattle. 6) Spring and summer saw entries flow in for another record-breaking Junior National Hereford Expo, as well as more entries for the second National Junior Fed Steer Shootout. 7) The Board supported a change in the Certified Hereford Beef Classic program. Certified Hereford Beef will now brand only Choice and better product, which will allow the brand to market not only a product supported by an Association existing since 1881 but one that is high in quality, is tender and offers differentiation. I hope each of you can join us to celebrate the year at the Annual Meeting, Oct. 26-28. On Friday morning, we welcome you to an open house at the new office. That afternoon, join us at The Westin Kansas City at Crown Center for a trade show reception featuring guest chefs preparing Certified Hereford Beef appetizers, an educational forum and the Hereford Honorees Reception. The Annual Meeting will take place Saturday morning with the American Royal sale and show to follow. It will be an exciting weekend. Congratulations to the membership and thanks for the support. It has been an incredible year. Hereford.org

Board Action

Board Meeting Highlights

The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met July 24-25, 2018, in Wichita, Kan., for the summer Board meeting. The following are highlights of the meeting: Board encouraged the staff to continue to support a Pan American Cattle Evaluation if possible. The Board was reminded the AHA profit indexes will move to a real dollar index value Sept. 3, 2018.

Finance/Audit Pete Atkins, AHA vice president, led discussion and reviewed the 2018 financials through May. There was also discussion on how the income of the Hereford Legacy Fund LLC will be handled. The Board approved a surplus budget of $69,642 after depreciation of $222,114. The AHA is projected to generate more than $8 million in revenue over the next fiscal year from its parent company and subsidiaries and will work to utilize those funds to support member service, Certified Hereford Beef®, research, marketing and youth development.

Hereford Publications Inc. The Board was presented with wire frames of the new online catalog platform. The staff reported this should be near a launch at Annual Meeting.

Hall of Fame/Merit

Certified Hereford Beef The Board reviewed the current fiscal year-to-date numbers with increases in pounds sold across food service, retail and export customers. The Board unanimously voted to support a modification to the current CHB Classic program changing from an ungraded, blended program to an all Choice program effective Jan. 1, 2019.

Member Service The Board was presented with an update of the progress of the new MyHerd platform. The biggest changes will be a more efficient mobile-friendly product. The goal is to have this presented at the Annual Meeting with a launch soon after.

Marketing and Communications The Board voted to continue with the current national ad campaign, “The Bald-Faced Truth about Hereford Genetics.” It also voted to place emphasis on digital advertising over print advertising, and, in addition, a radio ad will be developed for breeders and organizations to utilize.

Breed Improvement The Board voted unanimously to move the current genetic evaluation from ABRI to Theta Solutions. This change will be effective Sept. 1. The AHA will continue to utilize the ABRI registry software. The

The Board was presented with a large slate of candidates for the Heritage Hall of Fame/Merit. The Board selected Greg Shaw, Idaho; John Loewen, Okla.; Dale and Mary Barber, Texas; and Clifford and Barbara Copeland, N.M., for induction into the Hereford Heritage Hall of Fame. Jay George, Kan., was selected for induction into the Hereford Hall of Merit

Dunn Herefords Performance Matters

Simplot Releases NRSP Results

by Shane Bedwell

2017-born calves at Simplot Livestock Co. continue to perform well through the finishing phase and on the rail.

Vol. IV

Online Sale

Below are the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) results from 2017-born calves at Simplot Livestock Co. in Grand View, Idaho. Simplot has taken advantage of the progress American Hereford Association (AHA) members have made on Calving Ease (CE) as they artificially inseminate a large group of predominately black heifers each year. Simplot has been involved in the NRSP for nine years, utilizing this program to identify Hereford genetics that can add value to thier operation. Besides CE, Simplot has paid close attention to mature cow size while driving as much end-product merit as possible in their bull selection without negatively impacting its future cow base. The ranch collects all measurements from birth to harvest on test progeny, including a test period through their feed intake unit. Also, Simplot collects a CE and a calf vigor score on all calves born. There is no hiding the value of a live calf that quickly gets up and nurses, so I commend Simplot for recoding these

two critical measurements. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to say all bulls tested this year had scores of 1 for both CE and vigor, which is the best score. Printed in Table 1 are the expected progeny differences (EPDs) for sires used, along with the phenotypes of progeny evaluated in Table 2. The data summary is split into two groups, as one set of bulls was used on cows and the other set on heifers. Data are not compared since the cows and subsequent calves were managed differently from the first-calf heifers. All in all, both sets of cattle performed well through the finishing phase and on the rail. The group of 81 steers graded close to 80 percent Choice and had an 855-lb. carcass weight average. Just as important, the sires ranked closely to their EPD values. This fact is encouraging as the Association continues to identify Hereford genetics that can make a difference for the commercial cattleman. I encourage you to take a look at these bulls to see if their profiles fit your needs for producing profitable cattle.

Customer Service Tips and Tricks

by Laura Loschke

DNA testing The importance of and need for DNA information continues to grow in the beef industry. The value of DNA testing your animals is immeasurable and the genetic information we obtain from DNA testing is used in so many ways. First, it can be used to verify the pedigree/parentage of the animal, and can be used in the future to test parentage on the animal’s progeny. Second, DNA tells us if the animal is a carrier of any of the three major

abnormalities within the Hereford breed — hypotrichosis, color dilutor and idiopathic epilepsy. Third, the genomic information of the animal goes into our genetic evaluation to help the accuracy of the animal’s expected progeny differences (EPDs). Not only is DNA testing important, but it is required by the American Hereford Association (AHA) on all sires born after Jan. 1, 2011, for registered calves, any dams used for flushed embryos and registered embryo transfer

calves. The process for DNA testing animals through the AHA is as follows: 1) Request the DNA test(s) from AHA. 2) You will receive a DNA submission form for each animal for which you requested a test. This form will have a barcode at the top. This barcode is very important and must be present on the form before you send the sample to the lab. If you do not see this barcode, contact Laura Loschke or Toni Shapiro at 816-842-3757.

3) Collect your sample and tape the sample in the middle section of the submission form. 4) Then simply mail the form, with the sample attached, directly to the DNA lab. Breeders should continue to plan ahead when it comes to DNA. It takes three to four weeks to get results from the time the DNA sample is received at the lab. The AHA allows several different types of samples for testing. Those include hair (from the tail switch), a blood card, a tissue sample unit (TSU) or semen. The AHA will offer members a $4 credit, per animal, on their AHA account when using the TSU to submit a DNA sample rather than using hair. The credit occurs when the animal’s DNA results are received from the lab, verifying the DNA sample was submitted as a TSU. A common question is why samples come back as failed. Common causes of sample test failure are biological contamination (fecal matter or dirt in a sample), chemical contamination (dye or pigment from animal markers, insect repellant or cleaning agents), improper storage of the sample (heat exposure or improperly freezing the sample — the freeze/thaw cycle of a self-defrosting unit can degrade DNA), simply having an insufficient sample or improper shipment of the sample. If you are interested in DNA testing your herd, don’t forget to take advantage of the AHA’s special $20 per head pricing on DNA testing your cow herd. This offer will only run until Dec. 31, 2018. Contact Tena Martin at tmartin@hereford.org for more information. DNA requests can be made online through MyHerd or by contacting AHA Customer Service. The AHA is dedicated to building a powerful genetic evaluation and providing additional reliability to traits of interest for Hereford breeders and their customers.

Commercial Connection by Trey Befort

Seize the Advantage Introducing the inaugural Commercial Connection column, which will run in each tabloid issue to share opportunities for both seedstock and commercial producers.

It is hard to believe I have been in this role for five years now. As I look back on the places where I have traveled and the people I have met, I quickly realize how truly blessed I am to have the privilege to serve a great breed with such great opportunity. In upcoming Commercial Connection columns, I will be focusing on various topics that both seedstock and commercial producers can take into consideration, such as the increasing number of value-added programs in the marketplace, various emerging technologies, and commercial programs and tools developed by the American Hereford Association (AHA), just to name a few. My hope is these topics will engage producers to become more aware of and more involved with the numerous opportunities to add value and to improve the quality of their operations.

Summer recap This summer I had the privilege to represent the AHA and Certified Hereford Beef ® at several of the video auctions held across the country. From June through August, more than one million head of calves and feeders were marketed through these auctions, with most lots sold for fall delivery. Though the market was volatile, it seemed as if overall attitudes were optimistic throughout the summer. This optimism is a good testament to the continued growth in demand for U.S. beef. At these sales, many of the local consignors gathered to watch their calf crops sell, to enjoy fellowship with neighbors who also were possibly selling and to partake in evening festivities the auction companies coordinated. I commend the Hereford breeders who attended these events and capitalized on the opportunity to promote their genetics and breeding programs to commercial producers. These sales also present a wonderful opportunity for commercial producers to network and to build relationships with cattle feeders in attendance. Through those conversations, producers

can gain valuable insight as to what those buyers are looking for and might be able to earn another interested buyer when it comes time to market their calf crop. In the future, I would encourage all producers, both seedstock and commercial, to take advantage of these events and to put in a little extra effort to promote their programs. I firmly believe the added exposure and networking will be rewarding.

Fall marketing opportunities Though many cattle were marketed through video auctions this summer, a significant volume of calves and feeders will be marketed in the next couple of months. For those producers looking for opportunities to add additional value, I will discuss a few options to consider. First and foremost are the commercial programs developed and managed by the AHA. The Hereford Advantage, Maternal Advantage and Premium Red Baldy (in conjunction with the Red Angus Association of America) programs are great tools to utilize for genetic improvement and marketing support. These genetic-verification programs are based on the various profit indexes available through the AHA. Participating producers will receive a sire summary of the Hereford bull battery that sired the group of calves or feeders they plan to market. This summary includes an easy-to-read outline of the strengths and weaknesses within that group of bulls, allowing producers to make informed decisions when it comes time to cull and/or purchase additional Hereford bulls in the future. Additionally, these programs allow for added exposure in the marketplace and help give buyers confidence in the cattle they are purchasing, whether they be feeder cattle or replacement females. Regardless of the method in which producers market cattle — video, live auction or private treaty — these commercial programs are well worth taking advantage of. For additional

information or to get started with any of these programs, please visit Hereford.org/commercial. Another consideration for producers marketing this fall is the various Hereford-influenced feeder cattle sales that have been coordinated around the country. These sales have proven to be a successful means for producers, large and small, to come together with other area producers to market Hereford-influenced feeder cattle in larger groups. Most of these sales have a required vaccination and weaning protocol that must be followed in order to participate, which is especially important to interested buyers as it gives them more confidence in purchasing those cattle. A list of upcoming sales through the end of the year is included at the bottom of the page. One final consideration is retained ownership through the finishing phase rather than marketing calves or feeders. For most the thought of retained ownership can be intimidating. But for those producers who are confident in their genetics and the ability of their cattle to perform in the feedlot and on the rail, retained ownership can be a rewarding experience. With the various risks involved and the fluctuations in the market from year to year, I encourage interested producers to consult a few different cattle feeders that may be able to give them insight and direction. A relationship with a reputable cattle feeder is one of the most crucial components of retained ownership, as the cattle feeder will be caring for and marketing the cattle, along with communicating performance and carcass data back to producers. Several resources are available in the industry to help producers decide each year if it is more sensible to retain ownership or if it is more advantageous to sell cattle as calves or feeders. Another noteworthy event related to retained ownership that wrapped up this summer was the 2018 National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer

Shootout. Nearly 150 steers from 37 NJHA members representing 13 states were fed at Gregory Feedlots in Tabor, Iowa, and harvested in a few groups throughout the summer. This year’s winners have been determined and will be awarded at the AHA Annual Meeting Hereford Honorees Reception on Friday, Oct. 26, in Kansas City, Mo. I would like to congratulate these young people who took advantage of this program and, hopefully, gained invaluable experience to take with them as they develop into progressive cattlemen and cattlewomen. For those producers, seedstock or commercial, who may not be able to retain ownership of an entire calf crop, I would encourage them to consider working with youth in their communities to participate with a sampling of their steers. This is a terrific opportunity to get a glimpse of their genetics at work, to gain an understanding of the risks and rewards associated with the cattle feeding process and to learn about different tools and technologies to help improve quality and profitability. The entry form and additional information about the contest can be found at Hereford.org/youth/njha-fed-steer-shootout. There is a huge opportunity for the continued advancement of the Hereford breed in the commercial industry. In such a fast-paced and constantly changing marketplace, being complacent and unwilling to adopt new tools and technologies is a sure way to lose ground. The Hereford breed has done such a fantastic job of improving genetic quality and establishing a solid foundation in the commercial industry and now is not the time to let off the gas. Again, I challenge both seedstock and commercial producers to step outside their normal routine and to consider some of the opportunities discussed. Trey Befort is the director of commercial programs for the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at tbefort@herefordbeef.org.

Hereford Women

Exciting Times Ahead

by Barbara Metch

As we prepare for the Annual Meeting, I look back over my four years on the National Hereford Women (NHW) board. I have so enjoyed creating new and different ideas for fundraising to support our efforts like scholarships, grill off, speeches and queens. I will miss getting to know the girls. I enjoyed making new friends of all ages, from all states and working to give back to the Hereford family. I feel we left the NHW board in a better place with an atmosphere for a brighter future.

In 2015, recipes promoting Certified Hereford Beef® through our own dishes became a part of the NHW website. Let’s add to those recipes during the NHW board meeting at the American Hereford Association Annual Meeting Oct. 26, at 11:15 a.m. Bring your family’s best beef recipe to post on our website. Your name will be added to a drawing for a Hereford item for each recipe submitted. Your name will also be added to that drawing if you are a new member or if you bring a new member. We increased

our membership last year, and we would love to do so again in 2019. NHW will be voting for new board members at its annual meeting. The nominating committee spent long hours going through applications. The three candidates on the ballot are: Nikki Rogers, Wash.; Shannon Worrell, Texas; and Betsy Pitstick, Ohio. Please come out to the meeting to vote and to see the presentation of the NHW Woman of the Year presented. I wish the best of luck to these ladies!

There will also be a change in bylaws presented and voted on in our meeting. Please look for our newsletter to see the changing bylaw and the new wording recommended in its place. As always, it was awesome to have 17 state queens working the week of Junior National Hereford Expo with National Hereford Queen Abbygail Pitstick this summer. I am so excited for the girls running for the next National Hereford Queen crown. We will announce the new queen on Sunday, Oct. 28, before the bull show starts at the American Royal show.

Retiring board members The National Hereford Women (NHW) is always so fortunate to have exceptional women from across the Hereford breed show interest and become engaged in the organization. When board terms end, it opens the door for new women to become involved. This year, three of our directors are retiring. We will miss Jill Folkman, Barbara Metch and Kim Herinckx greatly. They worked tirelessly to propel not only the NHW forward but also Hereford youth.

Circle B runs 175 Hereford bulls with Angus cows, resulting in consistent, highquality calf crops.

quality with 51 grading Prime, 224 grading Choice and only four grading Select. “That’s a pretty good random sample, but it’s obvious the Feddes bulls on our cows produce a high-quality calf crop,” Borman adds. This year Circle B began calving April 15 with the last calf hitting the ground on June 7. The operation has its own feedlot for backgrounding, lending flexibility for a longer calving season. Weaned calves will go into the feedlot in September for 140 to 150 days before being sold via video sales and other marketing outlets at 750 to 800 lb. Borman aims to have all the calves sold by February, and Circle B’s backgrounding efforts help tremendously in that effort. “We pretty much take all the work out of them, and all the risk is out of them,” he notes. “Guys like to buy our calves because Brent and his crew have got them ready to go.” This well-oiled machine has perfected the art of attaining maximum pounds and quality in its operation — and extensive breeding, nutrition and vaccination programs are to be thanked.

Foundational principles Success in the commercial sector is not attainable without a firm foundation. For the Circle B, a firm foundation lies in its highquality females and bull battery. A set of females and bulls is bought each year to replenish the herd after culls are made. On the bull side, Morrison selects 40 of the highest quality bulls he

can identify at Feddes Herefords to replace the five-year-olds that have been sold off. The new bulls are selected with heightened emphasis on ribshape, soundness and calving ease. Two Hereford bulls from ABS are used to artificially inseminate (AI) first-calf heifers in addition to bulls selected for natural service. Bulls are put in with the heifers immediately following AI for maximum conception rate. This protocol has worked on more than one front. Not only has conception rate reached almost 98 percent, but the majority are unassisted births. “I bet we have only pulled 20 calves in three years,” Morrison says. “We will have to help them once in a while with a smaller heifer, but we just don’t have problems that way, which amazes me because I’ve calved a lot of Angus heifers where you pulled a lot of calves.” Borman adds, “People don’t believe our breed up, but it’s because we get our cows in shape, and our bulls are in shape.” Morrison also culls any problem cattle. If cattle have a disposition issue, a bad bag, bad feet or anything else of that nature, they are not worth keeping around. From a fertility standpoint, females are pregnancy checked and culled if they do not breed up well. The philosophy at Circle B is to keep the good cows as long as possible by maintaining proper nutrition and care, while selling those that do not meet quality standards. As a companion piece to breeding decisions, the operation’s nutrition program has proven second-to-none. It has used West Feeds, Billings, Mont., for a number of years, but as of late, Alltech bought out West Feeds. Borman notes this buyout as a positive thing given the state-of-the-art research Alltech is able to fund. Along with nutritionist, Butch Whitman, Borman and Morrison have been able to formulate rations for their cow herd and supplementation strategies for their feedlot. Even with an impressive mineral program, they grow forages such as alfalfa, triticale and Sudan for their stock. They also source barley straw from their neighbors, who grow for Coors. Historically, they have fed a 50/50 ration of alfalfa and barley straw to their stock; however, a new idea has come to surface this year. “Now we’re going into triticale and Sudan grass and trying to double crop to make more tons per acre,” Morrison explains. “We are trying to be progressive and put out the best feeds we can. Then when they hit the feedlot they go on long-stem grass hay for about seven days, then they go on a silage ration with a West Feed supplement. We stay at that pretty much all the way through.” This focus on nutrition has the potential to pay dividends when sale time comes, but it is a futile effort without a proper vaccination protocol. With that in mind, Circle B hires Anthony Scheiber, DVM, out of Cody, Wyo., who travels to the operation to aid in developing the most appropriate health program for its goals. Because of that proactive effort, Circle B has found itself leading the charge in fighting diseases like pink eye and mycoplasma. “We’ve been kind of on the leading edge of that,” Morrison notes. “Now we’re about four years in, where everybody else is trying to figure out what they have. You just got to stay ahead of it. My deal is when guys show up to sort these calves, I don’t want them saying ‘that one’s got a bad eye, that one’s got a bad wheel.’ We just want them to run across the scale and hit the semi. We want them as healthy as they can be.”

Non-Hormone Treated Cattle Program The Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC) Program has been in effect since 1999, when the European Union (EU) and the U.S. agreed to control measures to facilitate the trade of non-hormone treated beef, including veal.

There are three principal components of this Program:

• Cattle are to be grown in approved farms/feedlots and delivered to the slaughter establishment with shipping documentation that includes the statement “Cattle Meet EV (Export Verification) Program Requirements for the EU” and clearly identifies the animals and the quantity.

• Non-Hormone treated cattle and beef are segregated at the slaughter establishment and handled in a fashion that ensures that they are not commingled with other animals or meat.

• Tissue samples from non-hormone treated cattle are collected at slaughter and analyzed in order for the

Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) to provide export certification for that product. The FSIS has designated the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) as the competent authority for providing verification that cattle meet the specified product requirements outlined in QAD 1013 Procedure. The specified product requirements must be met through an approved United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Quality System Assessment (QSA) Program. The QSA Program ensures that the specified product requirements are supported by a documented quality management system and is verified through independent, third-party audits conducted by the QA Division in accordance with QAD 1000 Procedure. To operate an approved NHTC Program, a supplier must submit a documented quality manual that meets the program requirements outlined in QAD 1002 Procedure and QAD 1013 Procedure. Approved NHTC Programs that meet the specified product

requirements outlined in QAD 1013 Procedure are listed in the NHTC Program Official Listing.

In order for FSIS to provide export certification for product:

• All farms, ranches and feedlots approved under these

programs and that raise beef destined for shipment to the EU as non-hormone treated cattle must be listed on the FSIS PartnerShare website.

• There must be verification that there are effective controls at the slaughter establishment. The EU export requirements are listed on the FSIS website.

Protection from parasites is just one of the ways to achieve this goal. Unlike many ranches, Circle B uses a pour-on dewormer, as well as a drench with Safeguard. Morrison and Borman stand by their practice fully because they consistently see return on investment. “If there isn’t a parasite taking it from them, they’re gaining weight and everything is just better,” Morrison says. While parasites and other diseases have provided consistent cause for proactive measures at Circle B, Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is a relatively new ailment hitting the Northwest United States by storm. Fortunately, Circle B has been able to avoid BRD with low-stress cattle handling. “BRD is a big deal, and it’s caused by stress,” Borman says. “People don’t understand how fragile these cows are. They Circle B pays close attention to reproductive soundness, and has invested in equipment to semen test their bulls really get knocked down when they get and pregnancy check all of their cows. stressed out, and man alive, you can see it going to tell us we’re wrong, but most of the time he just gives us right away.

At the end of the day, the more proactive “I think it’s a calling, it’s not a job,” Borman says. “These guys measures taken to avoid stress, the more pounds of high-quality just love it.

In an effort to Morrison and Borman assure this progressive, family-oriented receive premiums for its calves, Circle B began seeking alternative operation is not going anywhere but up.

In addition to its involvement in the NHTC program, Circle B decided to enter cattle in the Global Animal Partnership (GAP) in 2017. GAP is a 5-tier program that promotes animal welfare. In order to be involved in GAP, Circle B has to go through an intensive audit every 15 months by a GAP representative and to report all management actions. Typically, an audit can take several days to complete with changes to the facilities required based on the tier of involvement. However, Circle B was pleasantly surprised with the ease of its first experience with an auditor. “It was a testament to the ranch,” Morrison recalls. “I took him around, and he was here two and a half hours. We all sat down, went through our paperwork, and he said they had never done a ranch this size this quickly. It usually takes two and a half days, and sometimes they don’t even pass. It was nice, and I think that is a testament to our facilities and just keeping things clean and up to date.” Morrison and Borman are also quick to say their success would not be possible without the undying passion and desire to work hard from the entire team. “We just all work together. Our biggest thing is we want a team environment, and we want everybody to treat this place like it’s their own — not like they’re working for a paycheck,” Morrison explains. “I feel that we have people that do that now. They care about their pickups, and they care about the fences and they care about the cows.” From Morrison’s perspective, this mentality trickles from the top. He compliments Borman’s leadership style and strong desire to achieve excellence. “It pays to have somebody that cares that you’re working for them,” Morrison explains. “If we’re wrong, he’s Hereford.org

Global Animal Partnership Founded in 2008, Global Animal Partnership (GAP) is a non-profit organization made up of farmers, scientists, retailers, manufacturers and animal advocates, all collaborating with a common purpose — improving farm animal welfare. In 2008, Whole Foods Market — a US-based natural and organic food grocer — successfully piloted a Step-rated Program at the launch of their flagship store in London, England. With the success of the launch in the UK, Whole Foods Market co-CEO John Mackey felt a significantly greater impact could be achieved internationally by having an independent organization own and develop a farm animal welfare certification program. GAP’s 5-Step Animal Welfare Rating Program® was developed with the animal’s welfare as the primary focus. GAP defines animal welfare as three overlapping components — health and productivity; natural living; and emotional well-being — together with good management and genetics that contribute to good farm animal welfare. Once a third-party audit has been conducted on the ranch and a GAP Step® rating has been assigned, the appropriate GAP label is displayed on certified meat and other products. This program is yet another marketing tool producers may take part in if it fits their operational goals. Editor’s note: This content is compliments of the Global Animal Partnership website.

Meet the 2018 Board Candidates Introducing the six Hereford breeders contending for a position on the American Hereford Association Board of Directors.

Doug Banks Banks Polled Herefords is a family-owned operation with breeding decisions and day-to-day operations shared among Doug, his wife, Jane, and son, Brian, and his wife, Chrissy. The Banks started their herd with four registered polled Hereford heifers in 1966 and in 1968 became lifetime members of the American Hereford Association (AHA). Drawing on their 4-H experience with beef projects, they recognized major differences in the performance and efficiency among the various animals they fed and showed. As their herd numbers increased, the Banks placed their emphasis on producing cattle that were more consistent in performance and efficiency. Along with participation in bull test programs, they enrolled their herd in the American Polled Hereford Association Guidelines program as a tool to evaluate and document performance and have been collecting carcass ultrasounds on calf crops for the past 25 years. Their herd was enrolled in the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program when it was introduced, and the Banks family has been recognized as Gold TPR Breeders through this program. Currently, their herd numbers 125 registered Hereford females, along with 25 Angus females and a few crossbreds. As purebred breeders, the Banks’ emphasis has been, and continues to be, producing balanced trait, performance-verified, efficient animals with genetics that add value to their customers’ programs and dollars to their bottom lines, whether it be through bull or female purchases. The Banks’ operation recently relocated from Ohio to Oklahoma with plans to increase its cow herd numbers, to grow demand for its Hereford bulls in both commercial and purebred herds, and to work to educate producers on the added value of documented performance genetics and the value whiteface calves add to their bottom line. Doug has served as a director, president and secretary of the Southwestern Ohio Polled Hereford Association and director and president of the Maumee Valley Polled Hereford Association. He served several terms as a director and two terms as president of the Buckeye Hereford Association. Both he and Jane have also been inducted into the Buckeye Hall of Merit. Doug established the Bluegrass and Buckeye Scholarship awarded to junior members at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), and he was a committee member and the treasurer for the 2006 JNHE. Doug is currently a member of the Oklahoma Hereford Association. He was previously a member of the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association and served as the Hereford representative to the board and the purebred committee chair for the establishment of the Ohio Beef Expo. He was a founding board member and president of the Butler County Cattlemen’s Association and a director of the Butler County Agriculture Society and served as a committee chair for the 150th Anniversary Fair. Additionally, Doug is a member of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) and has served as a 4-H leader. In addition to son Brian, Doug and Jane have a daughter, Amy Bens, and her husband, Tony, and two grandchildren.

Craig Beran Along with his three brothers, Craig owns and operates B&D Herefords and Angus, which consists of 800 cows. B&D Herefords and Angus has been raising registered Hereford cattle for 50 years and holds two annual sales. The Season Opener sale in March is in its 32nd year, and the Fall Classic Sale began in 2018. Between the two sales, B&D Herefords and Angus markets approximately 200 bulls with a focus on performance and a highly efficient cow herd.

| October 2018

Craig has been an active member of the AHA for more than 30 years and has served as a delegate for Kansas for the past 20 years. He has also served on the nominating committee for the AHA Board. Within the Kansas Hereford Association, he has served as president and as a board member. In support of Hereford youth, Craig and B&D Herefords and Angus have been a sponsor for the Kansas Junior Hereford Show and the JNHE. As a representative of Kansas and American agriculture, Craig travelled with the Kansas Department of Agriculture on a beef genetics trade mission to Uruguay and Argentina to visit Hereford and Angus ranches. On a local level, Craig has served on the Barton County Farm Bureau board, the Barton County Farm Service Agency board, the Beaver Grain Corporation board and the finance board for Holy Family Parish. He is also a founding member of the Claflin Recreation Commission. Craig is married to Michelle Beran, and they have two children — John, who is pursuing a graduate degree in archeology at Eastern New Mexico University, and Bridget, who works as an agriculture journalist and was an active member of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA). Michelle has served on the National Hereford Women board of directors and was secretary for most of her tenure in addition to serving as parliamentarian and chairman of the queen committee.

Bruce Everhart Everhart Herefords is a 50-year purebred operation consisting of 25 head. The operation sells bulls, steers and heifers to commercial and junior members in the Midwest and utilizes grass and wood pastures not suitable for corn and soybean production. Its herd was built on junior heifers purchased annually from Wiese and Sons over a 15-year period. Breeding some of the best females from this iconic herd to some of the most elite bulls of the breed has produced champions at state and national shows. The highlights of the program are raising the reserve supreme heifer at the Indiana State Fair and the reserve national champion female at the JNHE. Bruce recently retired after a 40-year career in ag banking. He managed an ag banking team in the Midwest with Wells Fargo Bank. Bruce is also a board member and past president of the Indiana Herford Association. He has served leadership roles in hosting three extremely successful JNHEs in Indiana. He is currently the vice chairman and finance chair of the Hereford Youth Foundation of America and a board member of the Hereford Legacy Fund LLC. Bruce also serves on the Rush Shelby Energy cooperative board and is a member of the Indiana State Fair Commission. He and his wife of 38 years, Shoshanna, have two children — son, Blake, and his wife, Ashley, and daughter, Jordan, and her husband, Brian — and six grandchildren.

Andrew Matheny In 1982 Andrew purchased a Hereford cow as an FFA project, marking the beginning of his involvement in the Hereford breed. He then became involved in the American Junior Hereford Association (AJHA), where he met his wife, Suzanne. In 1990 they began Matheny Herefords and have grown it to a 150-head operation. Their spring calving program is a diverse system, which allows them to utilize artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer Hereford.org

(ET) technologies. Each year their Hereford calves are split between natural mating and ET calves, totaling 50 head. The remainder of their cow herd is used as recipients to raise ET calves for other purebred breeders. The set-up of the Matheny Herefords program also allows the family to sell genetics from their herd twice each year. Females are marketed through an annual production sale, The Breeder’s Cup, held each fall. Bulls are sold in conjunction with Boyd Beef Cattle and Meyers Angus in an annual spring bull sale. The family also sells cattle via private treaty to purebred breeders each year. A large majority of their calves are contract ET calves, but the remaining commercial calves are sold in the Kentucky Hereford-Influenced Feeder Calf sales. The goal at Matheny Herefords is to produce Hereford cattle that fit the demand of its customers to perform well in both purebred and commercial operations. Focusing on phenotype as well as genomic predictors has allowed the Mathenys to produce cattle that have adapted to the needs of their customers. Each year they strive to breed cattle that will have a positive impact on the industry and will be profitable for their customers. Andrew is a member of the AHA and the Kentucky Hereford Association. He has been a Kentucky voting delegate at the Annual Meeting since 2014, has served on the Kentucky State Show planning committee since 2015 and has been a Kentucky Junior Hereford Association advisor since 2017. Andrew also served on the executive planning committee for the JNHEs in 2006 and 2017. He is a past member of the Kentucky Hereford Association board of directors as well as a past member of the AJHA board of directors from 1985-87. Andrew is a member of the Mason County Cattleman’s Association, the Kentucky Cattleman’s Association and the Mason County Livestock Improvement Association. He is also a member and deacon at Highland Christian Church. Andrew and Suzanne have two children, Austin and Taylor Belle, who both serve on the NJHA board of directors.

Steve Merry Steve is one of five generations of Merry Polled Hereford breeders spanning 115 years. Since 1982 he and his wife, Jann, have run a 50-head cow herd near Hartford, Wis. They raised their three children — Matt, Ginger and Dan — on the farm doing chores, working the fields and showing cattle. Steve and Jann continued the MGM herd from Steve’s parents, Marian and Gordon Merry, and also have partnership cattle with their son, Matt, and Steve’s cousin, Sondra Brancel, and her husband, Tod, of Next Generation Genetics near Endeavor, Wis. Steve and Jann have two young grandchildren in Denver, Willa and Jack Schell, whom they hope to involve in the Hereford tradition of the Merry family as they grow up. The Merrys have marketed cattle from Minnesota to Texas and Pennsylvania to Wyoming. They have sold high-selling bulls in the Ohio and Illinois Beef Expos and the Wisconsin Hereford Association sales. They have held a semiannual production sale for the past 35 years known as Generations — A Family Affair Sale. Their goal is to breed the best possible cattle for all segments of the beef industry from producer to consumer, and they work to achieve that goal by emphasizing maternal, growth and carcass traits using as much data as possible including performance, ultrasound and DNA information. Most importantly, they listen carefully to feedback from their customers, both cattle buyers and freezer beef clients. As a youth, Steve was active in the Wisconsin Junior Hereford Association (WJHA) and served two terms as its president and as a delegate to the AHA Annual Meeting. As an adult, Steve has served several terms on the board of directors of the Wisconsin Hereford Association and has been a delegate for Wisconsin at the Annual Meeting. He has also served as an advisor for the WJHA. As a cardiologist, Steve has been the director of echocardiography at the Aurora Health Care offices in Menomonee Falls and Germantown as well as Community

Hereford.org

Memorial Hospital in Menomonee Falls. He has also served as the cardiac rehab director and president of the medical staff of Community Memorial Hospital. Steve has been named by his peers to be one of the top cardiologists in the Milwaukee area the last three years. Steve has promoted the health benefits of beef through articles in statewide newspapers and radio interviews and has been asked to speak at the Wisconsin Dietetic Convention in March 2019.

John Ridder Falling Timber Farm (FTF) is a diversified family farm owned by Glenn, Yvonne, John and Heidi Ridder. The family grows corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa hay and raises cattle. FTF maintains about 220 registered Hereford cows, 70-80 Hereford herd bull prospects, a registered Angus herd, a commercial herd and steers for its feedlot every year. FTF sells 40 bulls and 40 females at its annual sale held the third Saturday in March. Bulls and bred heifers are also sold off the farm in the fall via private treaty. The home farm has been in the Ridder family since the mid1800s. John’s grandparents had commercial Herefords, but his parents, Glenn and Yvonne, decided to make the transition to registered cattle in the mid-1970s. When he was in college, John encouraged his dad to use whole-herd AI programs as well as ET. He also suggested the family save sires from top, proven cow lines to increase predictability. Since then, the FTF herd has grown in quality and quantity. After graduating from the University of Missouri in 2000 with a degree in agriculture, John took a job in ag sales, where he learned a lot about communications and management. After several years, the opportunity came for him to work on the family farm. John implemented his sales training to set up FTF as a mineral dealer for BioZyme®, selling VitaFerm® products. He is also an independent sales representative for GENEX. In 2017 FTF was ranked in the top five dealers in the country for both VitaFerm and GENEX sales. John has always been willing to help people and enjoys seeing people succeed. He firmly believes the products he sells help customers achieve their goals. FTF strives to produce cattle that excel in their environment. Producing animals with moderate birth weights that calve unassisted is very important to the farm. FTF also puts considerable selection pressure on growth traits, udder quality, carcass traits, feet and slick hair coats. Its primary marketing goal is to produce problem-free performance bulls and replacement females for the Midwestern cattleman. FTF cattle have been sold all over the country from Florida to Washington state, and they have all worked well in those environments. John is a member of the AHA and the Missouri Hereford Association (MHA). He is a past president of the MHA, has served on its board of directors and was a delegate for the AHA Annual Meeting for many years. He has attended Hereford activities such as the Hereford Young Guns Conference, the Hereford Genetic Summit, the Annual Missouri Hereford Tour and, of course, many registered Hereford sales over the years. FTF had the pleasure of hosting the Missouri Hereford Tour on Sept. 8, 2018. FTF has participated in the National Reference Sire Program and was honored when FTF Prime Product 226Z was chosen as the reference sire at Olsen Ranch this past year. John is also a member of the Missouri Cattlemen’s Association, the Warren County Cattlemen’s Association, the Missouri Angus Association, the American Angus Association and the NCBA. He has served as chairman of the Missouri Beef Industry Council board of directors. He is also a past delegate to the NCBA Federation of State Beef Councils and always enjoys attending NCBA conventions. John currently volunteers as a 4-H beef leader and is a Washington FFA Alumni Chapter board member. John enjoys watching his kids, Madi and Ben, play sports and show cattle at the local fairs. The Ridder family attends New Life Church in Washington, Mo.

Candidate Q&A Segment The six 2018 candidates for the AHA Board of Directors respond to three key questions regarding their candidacy.

Q: Why are you running for the Board? A Doug Banks

A Doug Banks

The Hereford breed and the people who are the backbone of the Association have played a vital role in our family’s life. I feel it’s important to be involved in activities of associations supporting one’s interests and business ventures and to give back to and to support those efforts. I now have more time to dedicate to the challenge of serving on the American Hereford Association (AHA) Board.

A Craig Beran I’m running for the AHA Board of Directors because I want to be a part of the guiding direction of the future of the breed, as well as have input in how the breed grows and develops. I want to ensure that we continue to stay on the cutting edge of the beef industry.

A Bruce Everhart I have a lifelong passion for this incredible breed and hope my 40 years of financial experience as an ag banker can help lead and advise the Association to maintain a strong and stable financial future for our members. I believe in a positive and enthusiastic view of the future and will bring that to work every day. The opportunities for our breed and the Association are bright, and I want to give back to an organization and to the people who have given so much to me and my family.

A Andrew Matheny I have been involved in the Hereford breed for the last 36 years and have been the beneficiary of the work done by breeders and Board members who have grown the breed to where it is today. The opportunity to serve on the AHA Board of Directors in this capacity is a way for me to give back to the Hereford breed that has given me so much over the years.

A Steve Merry I come from five generations of Hereford breeders. I have been passionate about Herefords my entire life. It is truly impressive what the Hereford breed and the Hereford community have accomplished over the last several decades, and I wish to continue the advancement of the breed. As a cardiologist, I feel we need to promote red- and white-faced beef as a healthy choice of protein. We have a platform to do that with Certified Hereford Beef ®. As a Board member I would like to be a spokesperson to that end.

A John Ridder I am so honored to be considered for the AHA Board of Directors. It is no secret the AHA has made huge strides in a positive direction in the last 10 years. I would love the chance to help push this huge Hereford movement to the commercial beef industry. With the progress that has been made, it is now a matter of keeping the forward momentum. I believe I can offer my talents and strengths to help achieve those goals. I am a big-picture thinker, and I’m able to listen to others in order to help solve problems. I am the first one to go for change when it’s necessary, but I am also slow to change when things are working well.

| October 2018

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

The advantage of using Hereford genetics in crossbreeding programs is well documented. With the large number of small herds of commercial cattle in the country, Hereford breeders need help in doing a better job of promoting this advantage at the grassroots level and help in providing marketing outlets for their customers. It would be beneficial to make a fact sheet available to Hereford breeders to use for marketing on farm as well as a communications tool to use at local beef meetings, field days, stockyards, feed stores and wherever cattle producers gather. Hereford-influenced feeder calf sales have proven to be a highly successful and profitable outlet for producers to market their calves. In most cases, calves with Hereford genetics top the market, provide extra income to their owners and provide an excellent source of animals for the Certified Hereford Beef program. We need to provide leadership and encouragement for breeders to work together to establish and to promote this type of marketing for their customers.

A Craig Beran My goals for the future of the AHA include continued growth of the Certified Hereford Beef program to encourage the market for Hereford genetics, an emphasis on quality for the future genetic choices through the breed and a continued push to make genetic testing affordable and accessible throughout the breed.

A Bruce Everhart I want to help continue to grow our membership and registrations. These are the lifeblood of a healthy and vibrant future. Utilizing the genetic tools we have today — and will have in the future — in a strategic way will be critical to our competitive advantage in the beef industry. Of course, promoting the strengths and benefits of our youth programs through education, scholarships and leadership opportunities will solidify our position as an industry leader today and in the future. We need to continue to utilize the most cuttingedge research to provide factual data of competitive traits to the beef industry. Our Annual Meeting is a unique opportunity to touch all points of interest for our members, whether it is the show, the educational forums or the administrative business of the breed.

A Andrew Matheny I feel that as a breed we need to continue to educate cattlemen on the benefits of using Hereford cattle and to provide value-added programs that will benefit the commercial cattleman that uses Hereford genetics. Genomic testing is a valuable technological advancement that will help move the breed forward and, therefore, must become an affordable tool for all breeders to utilize. A continued focus on growing the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) along with the Fed Steer Shootout is necessary. We must find new avenues to involve our junior members and to attract new ones. As the JNHE continues to grow, there will be growing pains that will have to be addressed to make sure the JNHE continues to be a positive experience for the junior members and their families.

A Steve Merry We need to continue the collection and use of as much data as possible to help in the selection of our genetics. We have begun to incorporate genomics and need to continue to be the leading breed organization for reliable and predictable data. This approach will improve our standing with commercial cattlemen as the breed with the most reliable data to purchase genetics. We need to promote the health benefits of red meat to the public. There are recent medical data that demonstrate the safety and health benefits of beef. The additional advantage of Herefords as having more tenderness needs to be emphasized. Certified Hereford Beef is well positioned to promote Hereford beef as a healthy and tasty brand name. This support will improve the marketing of Herefords to all end-product consumers as well as increase demand for our genetics.

A John Ridder It certainly takes a team to make any organization run effectively, and I believe the AHA currently does a great job. If I am elected, nothing would please me more than to continue to have the best staff and the best team in the business. I understand this requires open communication and consistent hard work from all parties involved. I would like to see programs continue that prove Hereford value to commercial cattlemen. On our farm we feed Herefords and Angus side-by-side. I know there is a difference in feed efficiency — I see it every day. I would strongly encourage the need to quantify efficiency and then promote those findings. I would like to see the Certified Hereford Beef brand continue to promote an upper Choice or better product that should add value to carcasses. Once we show the beef industry how well we can produce and market high-carcass-value animals, I anticipate the discounts on red-hided cattle will be a thing of the past. I would like to see the National Reference Sire Program have a goal at the end of the program, such as guaranteed prearranged lease arrangements with artificial insemination companies for the top bulls to help encourage involvement in the program.

What is the biggest issue the AHA will face in the next five to 10 years, and how does the Board need to : prepare to face that issue?

A Doug Banks The biggest issue facing the Hereford breed is continued growth in market share by selling more Hereford bulls to commercial producers. The only thing constant in this world is change, and the strategic plan developed by the AHA recognizes this and provides an excellent roadmap on how to achieve this goal and how to be ahead of the curve in dealing with the many issues the AHA will face in the future.

A Craig Beran In the future, I see potential increased government regulation as the biggest challenge facing the AHA and the beef industry. I feel that could be best combatted by a focus on education, both for breeders and consumers.

A Bruce Everhart Building relationships with cattlemen and cattlewomen outside of our breed by telling the Hereford story is vital to maintain our position of strength and also to grow our market for the future. Listening to the industry and teaching the advantages of docility, growth performance, fertility and cow toughness will be but a few of the key messages to reinforce.

A Andrew Matheny Being a member of the AHA for 36 years, I have seen changes within the beef industry and how the AHA has reacted to those changes. The Hereford breed has handled these changes well, which has allowed us to be one of the most prominent breeds in the market. As a breeder, I understand there will be challenges to face in the years to come and staying ahead of these challenges will help members and the Hereford breed. One of the biggest issues our breed will face in the next five to 10 years will be continuing to expand our market share within the beef cattle industry. In the past few years, we have been able to expand our market share and have seen growth in registrations and sale averages. Through diligent work by Hereford breeders and the AHA, our breed has improved the carcass quality, phenotype and genetic merit of Hereford cattle. For the Hereford breed to continue this growth, we must continue to use available technologies such as genomic testing as well as phenotypic evaluation and look for new innovations that can provide our customers with a more reliable genetic product. Currently we are able to provide our customers with more genomic and performance data than ever before. The Board must continue to embrace the changes that are occurring within the industry and position our breed at the front of the pack in terms of research and marketing avenues for Hereford-influenced cattle. The Board must also work to continue the growth of the NJHA and the Hereford Youth Foundation of America. We have one of the strongest junior breed associations in the livestock industry, and by continuing to grow our youth and their membership, we will strengthen the breed as a whole.

A Steve Merry The perceived concepts that beef is unhealthy and an inefficient use of resources are major issues we will need to address. These ideas are best corrected by presenting the facts and recent data showing them not to be true. We need to strongly promote the health benefits of beef in general and Herefords in particular because of their efficiency and lower resource input. Secondly, there remains a bias in the sale barns against Herefords. In the marketplace, we need to continue to supply our commercial buyers with the most data possible to help them make genetic selections, which make them more efficient and profitable, thus demonstrating the advantages of Herefords. I strongly support the Association’s efforts to demonstrate the Hereford advantage and to promote Certified Hereford Beef.

A John Ridder It is difficult to say what the biggest challenge the AHA will face is, but I do know change will happen. We can speculate it will be a positive or negative change, although most times in the livestock industry the bad things turn into good things in a few years, and vice versa. Some issues that will affect beef producers, Hereford breeders and, ultimately, the AHA include tariffs, environmental regulations and consumer demand. I believe it is the job of the Board to be fiscally responsible with the Association’s money but, at the same time, remember that it is the Association’s job not only to keep records but to promote our breed and to explore new opportunities. Having the right team in place to get tasks completed and business moving in the right direction is absolutely necessary. We are very fortunate to have a great team at the AHA, and when issues come up, they are able to respond quickly. I believe the Board’s number one responsibility is to work closely with the CEO who is ultimately responsible for putting his team together.

baldy calves grazing the rolling countryside. The Ruffs have always had Angus-based cows, but they say the introduction of Hereford bulls has elevated their program in a number of ways. Since Scott’s family raised some registered Herefords when he was growing up, in addition to their sugar beet farm, he was somewhat familiar with Herefords going in. One of the main attractions to the breed at first was docility. “We aren’t one of the big cowboy ranches,” Scott explains. “We do a lot of stuff on foot because it is the way our set up works, so they have to be gentle.” Having cattle greet them at the gate, rather than shy away, is a small detail that goes a long way in making their operation run more efficiently. Incorporating Hereford genetics into their herd starts with selecting reliable bulls. Scott and Annett purchase their bulls solely through Mohican West in Laurel, Mont. Structure, disposition and the ability to pass maternal and growth traits to their offspring dictate their selection. Because some pastures may have only one bull per 20 cows, it is imperative the bulls are structurally and reproductively sound. Once bulls arrive at Yellowhorn Farms, the Ruffs utilize a vaccination protocol to keep bulls healthy. Additionally, they have a veterinarian visit for semen testing yearly. “It is a little bit expensive, but you get them in to take a good look at them,” Scott explains. “The vet gets a good look at them, too, and you are making sure they are reproductively sound.” However, nutrition and vaccination protocol is not reserved for just the bulls. Immunization and nutrition are viewed as an insurance policy for the herd. “We try to keep our cattle healthy,” Scott explains. “You have got to give that calf every opportunity to have a healthy immune system because you can pick out the calves that had been sick when you go to wean that fall.” In 2017-18, Montana experienced one of the toughest winters it had seen in years. In fact, many cattlemen lost a bulk of their calf crop because of extreme temperatures, snowstorms and resulting illnesses. Fortunately, the Ruffs’ forward thinking and focus on proper management kept the Yellowhorn cattle in good shape. “We always budget 1,200 hay bales, 500 straw bales and about 85 acres of corn silage to get through winter,” Annett says. Numerous producers ran out of feed and straw completely. While the Ruffs did not run out of feed or straw for bedding, they had different concerns of their own. As storms cause cattle to lie down for hours at a time, calves will often get up afterward and tank up on milk — putting them at risk for overeating. “We are really conscious about how we feed our cows for that reason,” Scott says. They switch from alfalfa to corn silage during calving because it brings down the richness of the milk slightly, so calves are at a lower risk of overeating. Their management practices and selection protocol in tandem have paid dividends in the end. Since their first Hereford bull, they have experienced the direct benefits of hybrid vigor. “When you crossbreed like that [with a Hereford bull] they weigh about 75 lb. more per calf,” Annett notes. Scott adds, “Hereford bulls also have a lot of longevity to them compared to some other breeds. They perform and do what we need them to do for us.” Yellowhorn Farms breeds everything natural service and leaves the bulls in with its females 50 to 55 days. Due to the Ruffs’ diligence in maintaining bulls, they average 75 percent conception on the first cycle. The first calf will hit the ground in early March. “But we wean a 650-lb steer calf the first of November,” Scott says, “And to start calving that late in March and achieve that weight when we wean is huge.” At the end of the day, the disposition and growth potential of Hereford bulls is critical to the operation’s success. “I love the Hereford bull,” Scott says. “That is where it is all at for me. That is what made these cows.”

Pictured (l to r) are three generations of the Ruff family: Brady, Brenna, Annett, Scott, Torie and Troy, with Tryan and Teagen in front.

someone else when we can keep them for ourselves, have a better cow and not have to worry about finding replacement females?” Annett adds, “We keep back our baldy females because they are gentle, and they are good. Those are two huge qualities for us.” In addition to those traits, the family has observed that their baldy cows experience less dystocia at parturition and raise heavier weaned calves — resulting in fewer headaches during calving and a larger paycheck at weaning. “The calves perform better,” Scott says. “I know our weaning weights have gone up since we started with baldies, and that is what it is all about. That is where the rubber meets the road.” The numbers talk when it comes to female selection. Scott and Annett are taking advantage of the genetic merit in the baldy female but not without a critical eye. This year, they kept 50 females of the 180 they had. “A big thing for us in keeping back females is knowing their mothers because of the corresponding ear tag,” Scott says. “If you were going to look for an ideal one, though, you would look for one that had pigment on her eyes and udders, and again, disposition is huge. Good phenotype with body capacity is also critical.” By holding true to those criteria and using the pedigree to determine the value of their females, the Ruffs are experiencing more success than ever. Looking ahead, they hope to continue growing the cow herd and taking advantage of Hereford genetics across the board. As the herd grows, there are more opportunities for their two sons and their families to help on the farm in a variety of capacities as well. “We couldn’t do it if we didn’t have them,” Annett says. “So hopefully one day the kids will be able to move back to the farm and take it over when we are done,” Scott adds. Until then, the family will continue pursuing their passion for the livestock industry one baldy calf at a time. Although not always glamorous, the livestock lifestyle is addictive. “This last winter was tough,” Scott reflects. “And to tell you the truth, I would do it all again next year just because I love the livestock industry. I really do. It is where our passion is.” The river still winds through a rolling landscape now dotted with baldy calves, with the rocky hills and pines still standing tall on the horizon. From their vantage point, the Ruffs have a clear view of the future that lies before them. Yes, they have small battles to fight — harsh winters, sick calves and fluctuating feed reserves — but they are prepared for any challenge that could attack at either flank. From their vantage point, they see the advantage of Hereford genetics.

Belief in the baldy While the Ruffs still have some Black and Red Angus cows, they will actually be 100 percent baldy females within the next few years. They used to sell all female calves at weaning with their steer calves until they saw the value in the genetic makeup of a baldy female. “In the past, we have sent some of our baldy heifers clear to Missouri because they were going into a bred heifer program,” Scott recalls. “We finally decided, why should we sell them to Hereford.org

The Ruffs switch from alfalfa to corn silage during calving because it brings down the richness of the milk slightly, so calves are at a lower risk of overeating. October 2018 |

Eye in the Sky

The sky is just the beginning for the future of drone technology in agriculture. by Heather Smith Thomas

he birds flying overhead may soon have to make room for a new addition to their aerial community. Drones — commonly referred to as small, unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) — were once a novelty but are proving to have much more potential beyond a hobby. Innovative and practical agricultural uses for drones are gaining traction alongside the increasing popularity and implementation of drone technology itself. Drones have many applications in the technology-driven agriculture industry, including crop and livestock monitoring.

A cattleman’s camera An “eye in the sky” is a great tool for efficient oversight of large properties, pastures and herds. A drone can even be used for capturing high-quality photos and videos for cattle marketing and advertising purposes. Aerial surveillance is useful for tasks like monitoring activity in breeding or calving pastures, detecting sick animals, monitoring herd movement and patterns, locating cattle before a gathering, and checking fencing — ultimately saving time and miles.

For economic reasons, it is often impractical for ranchers to hire a helicopter to accomplish those tasks, so substantial quantities of valuable time and money are invested in human labor instead. For example, ranchers with large amounts of pastureland often spend hours poring through hillsides and valleys, checking feed and water supplies or looking for sick, injured or missing cattle. Drones are a more affordable and time effective alternative for completing those jobs, and they double as a safety mechanism — some cattlemen use drones as herding tools to move cattle out of areas that are not convenient, or safe, for human access. John Walker, Ph.D., professor and resident director of research at Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in San Angelo, Texas, works with many ranchers who also run sheep and goats, which attract multiple predators. Drones can be utilized to determine if animals are being chased or harassed and help with checking traps. “If they [cattlemen] are trapping predators and have snares along some of the fences, they can check trap lines or fly a drone down the fence, without having to drive out there to look,” Walker says.

Drones can be utilized for a variety of tasks, including monitoring cattle out in pastures. The image on the left was captured with a drone, a process shown in the image on the right.

In addition to managing cattle, an extra set of eyes is useful for monitoring other domains of the ranch. “In Texas, hunting income is important for many ranches, and they do deer surveys with helicopters,” Walker explains. “You can do the same with a drone, less expensively. You can send your drone out on a pattern, record all the video from the flight and then you have a permanent record.” As cattlemen continue to incorporate drones into their management routines, they continue to come up with innovative applications for drone technology. However, all drones are not created equal. It is important to pinpoint the intended use of a drone before making a selection.

Know your drones When choosing a drone, it is important to understand the technology of different models. According to Brent Auvermann, Ph.D., Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center director, Amarillo, Texas, there are two overarching categories of drones. Auvermann explains, “The type people are usually most familiar with are the ones that look like helicopters, With many types of drones on the market today, it is important to identify the best one for your goals. with two, four, six or eight rotors. They can go slowly and hover like a helicopter. drone on that route, and all you have to do is concentrate on These are very handy for some types of monitoring. The other watching the screen to see where the cattle are,” Walker explains. type are fixed wing, more like an airplane. They fly faster but can’t “Otherwise, you are distracted between two tasks — flying the hover. If you want to cover a lot of ground in a hurry, the fixeddrone and watching the screen.” wing drones are best.” Still, both types of drones are very useful and can be tailored Flight delays for specific circumstances. After deciding which type of drone to Unfortunately, drones were originally intended for recreational use, the next step is deciding which type of sensors to use. purposes, so this technology has a few bridges to cross before “All drones can be outfitted with a variety of sensors,” widespread adoption in the agriculture industry is feasible. In Auvermann says. “We can also mount regular cameras or more Walker’s mind, the biggest limitation of drones is battery life. “The sophisticated sensors on drones — such as thermal cameras.” upper end [of the battery life] is about 30 minutes,” he says. “In my Thermal cameras can detect differences between temperatures experience, however, wind will cut that down and you might get of objects or animals in a pasture or field, which can be useful for about 80% of the advertised battery life.” tracking livestock at night or under the cover of trees. Along with wind speed, Walker acknowledges the speed the Since not all farmers and ranchers can double as drone pilots, drone is flown contributes to a shortened battery life, as well. “The Walker appreciates that drones come equipped with an easy faster you go, the more battery it takes,” he explains. solution. “You can pre-program drones to run a route, such as Because of brief battery lifespans, flight length is abbreviated. checking a fence,” he says. “Most of the flights we do with a rotary drone have a maximum Preprogramed routes allow farmers to focus on the cattle duration of 20 to 25 minutes,” Auvermann explains. “The without worrying about the drone itself. “You can send the batteries are heavy. The more power you need [to operate the drone and its sensors], the more batteries you need and the heavier the drone will be.” Although flight times are brief, Auvermann admires that drones uniquely allow for a fairly up-close imaging experience of items close to the ground. “You can stay under the cloud deck and be close to the ground and the things you want to image,” he says. Satellites are simply too high above the ground, and clouds can interfere with satellite imaging of objects on the ground. These vast capabilities have only spurred an increase in drones. To ensure aerial safety, drones are accompanied by an individualized set of rules and regulations established by the Federal Aeronautics Administration (FAA). Drones totaling less than 55 lb. — including the drone itself and any attached sensors — are classified as small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) and fall under the FAA’s Part 107 rules. According to the Part 107 rules, any individual with a desire to do commercial work with drones must be a certified UAS pilot. Hobbyists still must register their drones, but do not have to be certified drone pilots themselves. “A rancher or feedlot operator flying his or her own drone for checking animals would not fall under the hobby category; this use has commercial value so you would need to be certified as a sUAS pilot,” Auvermann explains. “I recommend being safe rather than sorry.” Drones of this nature can fly no higher than 400 ft. above ground and must remain in an unaided line of sight.

on binoculars or additional people is not allowed — the drone must remain in the pilot’s visual line of sight. “It is good to have additional observers, but this is not required,” Auvermann says. Besides limitations on height and piloting methods, drone airspaces are also closely regulated. Drones can fly only in Class G airspace — which refers to airspace not under the control of an airport control tower. Most Class G airspace is outside the 5-mile radius of the nearest airport that has a control tower. Therefore, it is no surprise a portion of the sUAS pilot’s training is learning how to read aeronautical charts and knowing the location of Class G airspace. “Ignorance is no excuse if a drone strays into controlled airspace without authorization,” Auvermann says. According to current regulations, drones cannot fly at night. As it is for hunters, nighttime is defined as the time 30 minutes after sundown and 30 minutes before sunrise. Visibility is simply not adequate for flight during that time. Drones, whether for agricultural or hobby uses, are just one intriguing piece in an era full of technological advances for cattlemen. With a bit of background research and careful consideration of FAA regulations, farmers and ranchers just might be able to incorporate drones and “fly through” previously time-consuming tasks in a way they never dreamed possible. Regardless, the drone’s many unique capabilities make it a promising new innovation with many features that can ultimately prove beneficial in today’s cattle industry.

High-tech crop management Aside from aiding cattle producers, drone technology can also benefit crop farmers through improved plant monitoring. “If you want to count the number of berries or grains on the head of a sorghum plant, we can now do that,” says Brent Auvermann, Ph.D., Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center director, Amarillo, Texas. The Texas A&M agricultural engineering professor specifically points out LiDAR, a technology that operates on the principle of radar but uses light energy instead of radio energy. When hung underneath a drone and flown over the canopy of a sorghum field, LiDAR creates what is known as a point cloud. “This can actually image the head of the sorghum plant and count the grains,” he says. Specialized sensors can also be attached to drones and used to measure the light that reflects from the ground’s surface or a crop canopy. “We can select different parts of the light spectrum, depending on what we are looking for, and put a sensor on a drone to measure that,” Auvermann notes. When drones with those sensors pass over crop fields, LiDAR can then identify things like water stress, nutrient deficiency, and disease or insect pressure on plants.

Coccidiosis in Weaned Calves How to combat a costly disease in young cattle. by Heather Smith Thomas

All cattle naturally carry coccidia in the small and large intestines, so efforts to counteract outbreaks are geared toward preventing flare-ups. “You can’t raise cattle without them being infected by coccidia,” says Floron “Buddy” Faries Jr., DVM, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Services, College Station, Texas. There are several different species of pathogenic coccidia, and each specie has its own host-specific coccidia. For instance,

t is well documented that disease prevention improves performance in weaned calves. Ranchers go to great lengths to protect calves from parasites that jeopardize their herd’s health and their bottom line. Coccidiosis, an infection caused by coccidia protozoa, is a disease found commonly in young calves and is considered one of the five most economically consequential diseases in the industry.

Calves gathered for weaning are more at risk for contracting coccidiosis because they are stressed and confined. It is important to reduce stress levels in calves during weaning to protect their immunity.

the genus of coccidia that infects dogs does not infect cattle. Many species that live in cattle are not pathogenic, but there are three species that do produce disease — Eimeria bovis, E. zuernii and E. auburnensis. Most cattle have encountered the protozoa and have developed some form of immunity against them. There is no cross immunity among the different species, though, so developing an immunity to one does not protect calves from other species of coccidia. Older animals beyond a year of age generally have enough immunity to ward off disease. Despite being hosts to the parasites, the only time adult animals might show signs of coccidiosis occurs when their immune system is unable to launch a defense — caused by malnourishment or high stress or from fighting another disease. Calves, on the other hand, are always prone to the disease because they have not yet developed strong immunity.

Calf vulnerability Calves are most at risk when they encounter concentrated amounts of coccidia before having enough prior exposure to have developed immunity. Calves out on large pastures may have been exposed to a few protozoa but not enough to cause disease. When the group is finally gathered and confined, calves are suddenly exposed to more fecal material and a high level of coccidia and become more vulnerable. Outbreaks normally occur the first month of confinement, when manure is likely to build up and calves are likely to be stressed. The stress of weaning can stifle the immune system, so if conditions are ideal for coccidia to multiply, calves are even more likely to contract the disease. “Stress plays a significant role in vulnerability, as does the confinement,” says Dr. John Campbell with the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, Saskatchewan. “This is probably why we commonly see some cases of coccidiosis at weaning time, just as we might see respiratory diseases.” Cows are the source of oocysts, and if the calf nurses a dirty udder — if mama was lying in manure — or lies in manure and licks itself, it ingests oocysts. “There may be a high number of oocysts that have [reached an infectious stage] and these young cattle are very susceptible,” Campbell says. A few oocysts will not make a calf sick, but if it ingests a high number of protozoa its immune system may be overwhelmed, which can cause a coccidiosis outbreak.

Placing feed in bunks helps to minimize the risk of coccidiosis because it keeps feed away from manure.

A hot, dry summer will sterilize pastures, and temperatures more than 100 degrees will kill the coccida. Still, there are coccidia living inside cattle, so when it gets cooler and wetter these will recontaminate the environment. If a new group of weaned calves is brought into a confined and contaminated facility like weaning pens or a feedlot, they may break with coccidiosis within four weeks.

Prevention

The key to preventing outbreaks is sanitation by keeping the environment from becoming heavily contaminated with feces. Outbreak factors Corrals, pens, small pastures that are used year after year, with Coccidiosis is known for surfacing sporadically during wet seasons cattle confined for calving, breeding, weaning, etc cetera are and in feedlots year-round. Manure build-up over time is a major high risk environments. It helps to keep cattle more spread out factor in establishing infection. Because or to clean up the pens now and then. If cattle oocysts are shed in feces, confined groups be more spread out, such as weaning the This is largely a disease can of calves become more exposed. As calves on pasture or using fenceline weaning or protozoa levels build up in that group, even anther low-stress method, risks of contracting involving confinement more shedding of oocysts occurs. coccidiosis may be reduced. and hygiene. The more “This is largely a disease involving “Anything you can do to lower the stress at confinement and hygiene,” Campbell fecal material, the more weaning could be helpful, but calves can still get notes. “The more fecal material, the more coccidiosis without stress if the environment is risk for disease. risk for disease.” dirty. The stress, however, could make it worse,” “Many people like to have their cattle — John Campbell Campbell explains. congregated for calving, where they can be Another way to minimize problems is feeding monitored closely. Even if they move the off the ground, like in bunks, where cattle are less pairs out into a larger pasture when the calves are a few days old, apt to defecate on the feed. It also helps to avoid contaminating the young calves have already picked up oocysts in the confined water bowls and troughs. pen,” Faries says. “Most programs for coccidiosis are based on control because “Another risk factor is congregating cows and calves in the the infection is already there,” Faries notes. “If we move young same feeding area,” he says. “If a person is using round bales and animals to a feedlot and they have not been previously exposed to never moving the feeders, or feeding hay on the ground in the a particular species of pathogenic coccidia we might try to prevent same high places in the field, manure builds up in those places. it — because the environment we moved them to is contaminated. During a drought some of those areas become sterilized in the dry In a cow-calf operation, however, with all the calves getting heat. But as soon as the rancher starts feeding hay on those same exposed to what is already there we are just trying to keep it under areas again, contamination builds up, and eventually the calves control.” may start breaking with coccidiosis. Even though it was clean when Coccidiosis can be prevented with medicated feed. It is harder they started, the cows have been there several months and built up to medicate baby calves because they do not typically eat enough a lot of manure around the bale feeders.” for the medication to be effective, even if they are on creep feed. Weather is also a factor in outbreaks. If everything is wet and Weaned calves, by contrast, can be on some kind of feed or have a cattle are lying in dirty bedding and licking themselves, they are water source that can be medicated. more apt to pick up heavy loads of oocysts or may ingest them “Calves at weaning are somewhat easier to deal with than baby when drinking out of contaminated puddles. calves that get coccidiosis,” Campbell says. “The younger calves “Even if it’s been hot and dry, and the ground is sterile, a rain usually get it before they are eating much solid feed.” during weaning may create ideal conditions for disease — especially Often, a coccidiostat is given to calves to slow the multiplication if the rancher brings in some calves, takes them out, brings in of the naturally-occurring protozoa. An effective coccidiostat some more to wean, et cetera, and keeps bringing new cattle into prevents the full development of coccidia, giving the host animal the same contaminated weaning pen,” Faries says. continued on page 66...

time to develop immunity. Coccidiostats do not kill coccidia but do slow their life cycle. The life cycle takes about three weeks. “If it hasn’t occurred within four weeks, it won’t happen,” Faries says. “The preventive program is to use a coccidostat for four weeks, and this would stop any incidence of disease. “If we shut that down, we prevent further damage. There is some wounded intestine and if we don’t use something to slow it down there will be more damage,” he continues. Coccidiosis causes tissue damage that needs to be treated to help the damaged wall heal. Antibiotics are used to fight secondary bacterial infections. “I compare the intestinal damage to a horse that has run through a barbed-wire fence,” Faries says. “If he has a scratch or minor cut he doesn’t need treatment. If the skin got ripped open we may need to medicate it and maybe suture it. If it is torn clear down into the muscle and bleeding, we need more extensive treatment of the wound.”

because they can’t absorb fluid and nutrients, they need supportive treatment.” Cattle with severe infections, which are rare, produce bloody diarrhea, develop fever, lose their appetites, and become depressed, dehydrated and thin. Serious cases may need IV (intravenous) fluid and electrolytes if the intestine is too damaged to absorb oral fluid and electrolytes. In extreme cases, cattle can die during the acute period or from later secondary complications like pneumonia. Cattle that do survive a severe form of the infection suffer significant weight loss, which takes a long time to regain, or their growth is permanently stunted.

Natural immunity If calves are doing okay, it may be best to let the disease run its course instead of treating it and shutting down asexual multiplication, which would interfere with development of immunity. Sometimes, no treatment is necessary even if a sample tests positive for oocysts and the prognosis may be coccidiosis. “We have to be careful in our interpretation of a fecal sample,” Faries cautions. “If you run a fecal sample, you will always find a few [oocysts]. Thus we have to make the distinction between infection and disease.” Generally, coccidiosis is left to run its course. Most calves recover in a few days, especially if they don’t go off feed. Often, it is best just to monitor the condition. “If there are only a few coccidia ingested, this is beneficial, because it stimulates immunity against that species, and when the calf encounters a higher level of exposure he has some immunity and won’t get sick. If a larger number are ingested and there is some damage, the immunity kicks in and shuts down the asexual multiplying and the disease is what we call ‘self-limiting’ and ‘runs its course.’ If immunity stays strong, due to good nutrition and good health, and the calf won’t get the disease if he is exposed again later,” Faries explains. Calves will always have opportunities to be exposed to coccidia, and, ultimately, the best way to prevent a costly outbreak is to implement effective management tactics that reduce stress and improve hygiene.

Minor versus severe cases At a basic level, calves have a simple infection in which the coccidia are a normal inhabitant of the intestine. Minor infections cause a reduction in feed efficiency, although cattle appear healthy. However, if there is damage to the intestinal lining that gets deep into the connective tissue underneath the lining, there will be symptoms, and it becomes a disease with clinical symptoms. Visible symptoms of clinical coccidiosis include watery feces, sometimes accompanied by blood. Animals also exhibit some discomfort. “In an acute infection there may not be very many oocysts in the feces yet, but we want to shut down the infection so we use a coccidiostat to retard the multiplying,” Faries says. “This will still allow some immunity to develop. If the condition has been going on for many days and there are a lot of oocysts in the feces, the asexual cycle is probably over with and a coccidiostat won’t do much good because we are too late. That’s when we need to use an antibiotic to prevent or treat a bacterial infection instead.” He adds, “But there may be a few calves passing blood, with watery diarrhea, possibly shedding some mucosal lining. If they are becoming anemic from blood loss, or weak and dehydrated

Life cycle To prevent or control parasitic disease, we have to understand the life cycle of the parasite. Floron “Buddy” Faries Jr., DVM, with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Services, College Station, Texas, explains how coccidia form and develop. Oocysts from coccidia reproducing in the intestine are passed in the manure. They are very tiny and much smaller than worm eggs and consist of a thin wall around some protoplasm.

“Even though people call them ‘eggs’ — these are not eggs,” Faries says. “Eggs are formed in a reproductive process in the ovary of a worm, fertilized and passed out in the feces. Protozoa don’t have an ovary. They go through a one-cell process of reproduction.” At this stage the coccidian is not infectious. When the coccidian comes out of the animal and into fresh manure, it then develops into four cells. Each of those four cells contains two structures called sporozoites.

1) Oocysts are formed in the host and then passed in feces. 4) Merozoites are released from ruptured gut cells, and multiply to form more oocysts.

Sporocyst

2) In ideal climate conditions, oocysts sporulate and become infectious.

3) The calf ingests infective sporocysts, which release sporozoites into gut cells. These develop and multiply asexually to produce merozoites.

“These eight sporozoites are the infective stage,” Faries says. When calves ingest one cyst, they are really getting eight coccidia. How long it takes for the simple oocyst to develop into the infective stage depends on the temperature and the weather — how cold, hot or wet it is. Normally, the process takes two to four days. “If it gets cooler than 35 degrees, development is prolonged. If it gets hotter than 85 or 90 degrees it will also be prolonged,” Faries explains. “But at optimal temperatures the oocysts sporulate and form the sporozoites in two to four days.” After the calf ingests sporozoites, they invade the lining of the small and large intestines. From there sporozoites get down into the mucosa where they multiply by asexual development. Then they form a second stage called merozoites. They rupture out of the mucosal cells and invade new cells, multiply again and produce a second generation. They rupture out and go back in, and this process continues for at least four asexual multiplication cycles. After a few days with all this damage, they re-enter the mucosal lining and form male and female gametes. These unite and secrete a wall around themselves and form an oocyst — and this oocyst is passed out with feces, to start the life cycle over again. By the time we see the oocyst under a microscope in a manure sample, damage has already been happening in the intestines, and the calf’s immune system is kicking in to fight it. “Right at the beginning, when the merozoites are re-entering the lining, this is like giving the calf a vaccination,” Faries says. “Its body starts fighting the pathogen and building immunity against that specie. If the calf is healthy, its immunity becomes fairly high, fairly quickly and there is no further damage.”

LONG-TERM. That’s Why You Need LongRange®(eprinomectin) For Up To 150 Days Of Parasite Control.1 Looking out over your herd, the sight is full of potential. But if you used a short-term dewormer like Cydectin® (moxidectin) or Dectomax® (doramectin) on your stockers, you’re not getting the most out of your pasture. That’s because cattle were probably reinfected with parasites just halfway through the grazing season.

Only LONGRANGE delivers true season-long control.1

40 lbs.

In just 104 days, LONGRANGE steers gained 40 lbs. more over those treated with CYDECTIN + SAFE-GUARD® (fenbendazole).2

Out here, there is no time for shortcuts. This year, think LONGRANGE.

theLONGRANGElook.com Caution: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. Warnings and Precautions: For use in cattle only, not for use in humans or other animal species. Keep out of reach of children. Not for use in breeding bulls, or in calves less than 3 months of age. Not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive rotational grazing. Not for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, including dry dairy cows, or in veal calves. Post injection site damage (e.g., granulomas, necrosis) can occur; these reactions have disappeared without treatment. Not for intravenous or intramuscular use. Do not underdose. Do not treat within 48 days of slaughter.

Available in 500 mL, 250 mL and 100 mL bottles. Administer subcutaneously at 1 mL/110 lbs.

Dependent upon parasite species, as referenced in FOI summary and LONGRANGE product label. Results based on actual on-farm comparative demonstration. Individual herd results may vary.

Every once in a while you know a calf is special when they hit the ground. He is out of a ﬁrst calf heifer that earned her way to the donor pen - you will hear more about her second calf when the time is right. Red Dirt is not only a breed changer, he is an industry changer as well. In a time when so much maternal has been sacriﬁced, he will put that back regardless of breed without losing carcass quality. Lately you hear about bulls that “check” all the boxes. Red Dirt checks these boxes:

• • • • •

Carcass - Red Dirt Ranks in the top 1% of the breed for Rib Eye, Carcass Weight and $CHB index. Maternal - Red Dirt is in the Top 1% of the breed for Milk&Grow and the top 5% for milk. Growth - Top 5% for both Weaning and Yearling. Phenotype - Red Dirt is a powerfully made bull with muscle from end to end and he expresses it exceptionally over his top and through his quarter. He is long bodied yet moderate framed with a beautiful extension through his front end. He is constructed on an abundance of bone and rib. Red Dirt is an excellent choice for progressive crossbreeding programs Ranking in the top 1% of the breed for Baldy Maternal Index ($480) and Brahman Influence Index ($563).

Jr National Bull Judge Ryan Rathman described Red Dirt best, “There will not be a bull in the ring today that better combines Phenotype and Genomics!” WE AGREE.

From the Field He worked at the Portland Union Stockyards in 1975 and operated a buying station where he worked with sheep producers from all over the Pacific Northwest. In 1985 he established a sheep receiving station on the family farm in Jefferson. Smitty met his longtime love, Teresa Barber, in 1995, and they spent the last 22 years raising and showing purebred Hereford cattle and exhibited at many shows around the country. He greatly admired Spidel bloodlines and carried those genetics in his herd. He owned cattle in Canada and continued to maintain those connections and friendships

In Passing Smith “Smitty” Cox, 75 of Jefferson, Ore., passed away July 30. Smitty grew up on the family farm just east of Albany, Ore. He attended Clover Ridge School and Albany High School, where he was involved in 4-H and FFA and had a flock of 350 ewes. He was proud of his pioneer heritage and was the sixth generation rancher on the oldest family-owned farm in the state of Oregon. Smitty began his career working with sheep and cattle with his parents. In 1972 Smitty was instrumental in bringing purebred polled Hereford bulls from Canada to the United States.

with several Canadian Hereford breeders. A highlight of his years raising Herefords was attending the World Hereford Conference in Calgary in 2012 and attending the Stampede. Smitty and Teresa thoroughly enjoyed mentoring and advising youth in the livestock industry as well as their own grandchildren. Smitty was a member of the Oregon Hereford Association, the American Hereford Association and the Oregon Sheep Growers Association. He is survived by his love, Teresa Barber; sons, Brad Cox and spouse, Buckley, and Wade Cox and spouse, Danelle; sister, Kay Cowan Thompson

Beef Talk

| by Kris Ringwall

Let the Cow Save You Money and the Bull Make You Money A recent conversation regarding economic drivers in the cow-calf enterprise left me with a lot to think about. The thoroughfare to consumers begins with the conception and birth of a calf that slowly morphs into beef. The beef industry is huge, so reflecting is good as the calf moves from the cowcalf producer to other beef enterprises throughout the beef chain. Much like the source of a mighty river, at some point, only melting snow or raindrops were present. Mighty rivers do not become majestic if the snow does not melt or the rain does not fall. Everything starts somewhere, albeit small, and needs to grow. The cow-calf industry is no different.

Considerations Let us consider some thoughts regarding the cow-calf enterprise. Generally, the cow-calf producer has had some cushion between total expenses and market price — positive cash flow. Expenses, however, loom on the horizon as historically high, and given the relatively low rates of return on investment, along with the challenges of finding adequate labor, some cattle producers are giving up the reins. What steps can producers take to improve probability and, ultimately, return on investment? Almost anybody can buy a cow and a bull and produce a calf, but that is not the definition of a cow-calf enterprise. The operation needs to have some scale, and I usually review data that involve operations of 50 or more cows. But today, even 100

cows probably are below the threshold of “economy of scale.” I will be the first to state loudly the cow-calf business has many economic drivers, and “economy of scale” does not have to be one of them. Cow producers like cows and enjoy the lifestyle of raising beef, but a positive cash flow will put more smiles on producers’ faces.

Take action First, recognize the environment and quit fighting it. Building to beat Mother Nature is futile; feed the cows, breed the cows and calve the cows when the weather is right. The weather is right when coolseason grasses are growing actively. As a consequence of calving when the grass grows, a shift occurs when the third trimester of pregnancy starts, creating the opportunity for alternative winter forage programs. At the Dickinson Research Extension Center, we turn bulls out on Aug. 1. The third trimester starts Feb. 12, and calving starts May 7. Winter feed costs, which are 70-plus percent of the total cow-calf costs, have the potential to decline significantly, depending on the extent that “extensive winter forage” is utilized. Second, recognize the importance of monitoring cow size. The maintenance of excessively large cows has proven difficult to offset with increased weaning weights. The center has targeted mature cow size at 1,100 to 1,300 lb. Although individual calf weights will be lighter, total calf weight

Focus, listen and learn 1 Recognize the environment, quit fighting it, and calve when the grass grows. 2 Recognize the importance of monitoring cow weight. 3 Recognize the importance of good bull selection. 4 Recognize the value of breeding systems. 5 Recognize the importance of and implement production and financial records.

based on calves produced per acre will be greater, resulting in more total pounds of calf. Third, recognize the importance of good bull selection and use technological advancements to improve accuracy. Generally, keep expected progeny differences (EPDs) above the 50th percentile within the desired traits and breed. As a matter of practicality, become comfortable with bulls above the 50th percentile but may not exceed the upper 30th percentile for commercial production. Fourth, recognize the value of breeding systems, maximizing the traits of interest in the terminal sire program while balancing appropriate traits on the maternal side. Let the cow save you money and the bull make you money. At the center, 1,100to 1,300-lb. cows bred to bulls above the 50th percentile for growth The future of the beef industry lies in the hands of cow-calf producers who are tasked with making sound decisions about and marbling and in

the upper 10th percentile for ribeye area have an advantage of $26 per acre of ranchland over traditional cows. The calves are summered on forage, and after a short feedlot stay, they are harvested at an average weight of 1,450 lb., with 94 percent at the “Choice” grade at an average yield grade of 2.9. The search for the next generation of cow-calf producers has a tremendous opportunity for success, provided some simple targeted goals based on real numbers are put in place. Efficient beef production starts when the bull mates with a cow and biological efficiency mates with economic efficiency. And just like the majestic river that starts with a few raindrops and a small stream, beef production needs to start with the cow-calf producer. Fishing in the big river may catch some big fish, but do not let fishing tales run the operation. For new cow-calf producers, the single biggest mistake made is the tendency to work hard physically and to set aside the homework. Each cow-calf enterprise is a unique business, and businesses need records. Focus, listen and learn. Kris Ringwall is a beef specialist at North Dakota State University Extension Service.

Hereford Mom Diaries

| by Christy Couch Lee

Do What You Can Where You Are “You can have it all. You just can’t have it all at once.” I’ve heard this saying in a variety of forms through the years, and lately, I feel as if it’s absolutely the story of my life. I want to sign up for another half marathon this fall, as I’ve done for at least four years. I want to take our family to their first football game at my alma mater, Oklahoma State, this fall (Go, Pokes!). I want to be the devoted show mom who spends unlimited time in the barn, on the wash rack and helping our kids with

showmanship practice. I want to be the successful business owner who thrives and who volunteers with professional organizations to better the industry. I want to be the mom who loves and knows her children well; and I want to be a dedicated, loving wife to my husband. I want to be the caretaker my dad and grandma deserve at this point in their lives. I want wonderful, homemade meals on our table each night, a perfectly manicured lawn and — let’s be honest — rockin’ abs.

Doing it all Any one of these goals is possible. However, are all of them possible at once? Well, to think that is achievable is to live in “Crazy Town.” It’s easy for us to look at those around us and to believe “that person” has it all together, and “that person” truly does it all. How does she do it? What does she have that I don’t? The reality is she doesn’t do it all. She doesn’t have anything you don’t. The truth is our lives are made of seasons, and within each season,

we must choose our priorities and determine where we will focus our energy. To attempt everything at once is just asking for undue stress in our lives. Truly, it’s just not possible. “That person” you’re comparing yourself to has likely made different choices and placed her priorities in a different area. That’s perfectly OK. You do you. This isn’t easy for me to accept. I like to be the one who doesn’t back down from a challenge, who can “handle it” and who doesn’t let the stress of life get the best of her. However, I’m learning the hard way this just isn’t possible. And the stress that results from tiny activities piling on top of each other can be enormous. In the scientific world, it’s called the “butterfly effect.” The concept explains that the fluttering of a butterfly’s wings at just the right location and at just the right moment can be enough to cause a hurricane on the other side the world at a later time. If those tiny wings had not fluttered at just the right moment, an enormous storm would never have happened thousands of miles away.

Your season It is crazy, isn’t it? Our lives are much the same. It’s the little things in life that, when piled on top of busy schedules and overwhelmed minds, can be the tiny things to cause great storms — or, great chaos. Therefore, our families and our health depend on us making the best choices for the “now.” I’ve had to make some tough decisions recently. With children who are 13, 10 and 6 — in the throes of school and 4-H and gymnastics — they and their dad, my husband, have to come first. My dad and grandma rank right up there, too. Business tops the list as well. When we are heading into show season, the kids’ showmanship and cattle also move up the list. As for the other stuff? While it’s good, it’s not good for now. As I look out my window today, I see a yard that needs mowing, weeds that need pulling and a treadmill that’s not being used (for training, anyway). There is no OSU football game on the calendar. Mac and cheese is likely on the menu for the kids tonight, and the abs are far from rock hard. Someday, our house will be empty — the kids will be off to college and building lives of their own. I’ll have time to train for any ol’ race I’d like. I can craft made-from-scratch meals for my husband. I can get those toned abs (or maybe not). It’s a season, and it’s up to me — it’s up to us all — to make the most of the season I’m in. Truly, that’s the best I can do. It’s the best any of us can do.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) should be given only by subcutaneous injection in front of the shoulder at the recommended dosage level of 1 mg eprinomectin per kg body weight (1 mL per 110 lb body weight). WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Withdrawal Periods and Residue Warnings Animals intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 48 days of the last treatment. This drug product is not approved for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, including dry dairy cows. Use in these cattle may cause drug residues in milk and/or in calves born to these cows. A withdrawal period has not been established for pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal. Animal Safety Warnings and Precautions The product is likely to cause tissue damage at the site of injection, including possible granulomas and necrosis. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. Local tissue reaction may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter. Observe cattle for injection site reactions. If injection site reactions are suspected, consult your veterinarian. This product is not for intravenous or intramuscular use. Protect product from light. LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) has been developed specifically for use in cattle only. This product should not be used in other animal species. When to Treat Cattle with Grubs LONGRANGE effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season. Environmental Hazards Not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive rotational grazing because the environmental impact has not been evaluated for these scenarios. Other Warnings: Underdosing and/or subtherapeutic concentrations of extended-release anthelmintic products may encourage the development of parasite resistance. It is recommended that parasite resistance be monitored following the use of any anthelmintic with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test program. TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY Clinical studies have demonstrated the wide margin of safety of LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin). Overdosing at 3 to 5 times the recommended dose resulted in a statistically significant reduction in average weight gain when compared to the group tested at label dose. Treatment-related lesions observed in most cattle administered the product included swelling, hyperemia, or necrosis in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin. The administration of LONGRANGE at 3 times the recommended therapeutic dose had no adverse reproductive effects on beef cows at all stages of breeding or pregnancy or on their calves. Not for use in bulls, as reproductive safety testing has not been conducted in males intended for breeding or actively breeding. Not for use in calves less than 3 months of age because safety testing has not been conducted in calves less than 3 months of age. STORAGE Store at 77° F (25° C) with excursions between 59° and 86° F (15° and 30° C). Protect from light. Made in Canada.
