Partial to Red

Bowling Ranch, Newkirk, Okla., finds value in achieving hybrid vigor while maintaining a red hide. by Kayla Jennings

trip north on Interstate 35 is the place to start. A few twists and turns through small communities ensure the route is correct. Farmland as far as the eye can see fills the frame outside the windshield. Then, a sudden dip in the road signifies an abrupt change in scenery to rolling hills of native grasses. From the blacktop to the gravel road, the route continues to an iconic metal art statue of a horse with a sign boasting the ranch name. A glance either way yields tall waving grass and towering trees surrounding the perimeter of full ponds with dots of Hereford and Red Angus cattle in the distance. A set of red working pens to the left is where the Bowling Ranch crew can be found on this visit. The hot sun beating down coupled with the hustle and bustle of gathering cattle to take their turn in the chute means it is undoubtedly palpation day. A full crew of three and a day helper ensure the ranch maintains the best management practices and offers the most information possible to customers.

Found just on the other side of the chute, pen in hand, is the master orchestrator — Nancy Bowling. Between recording each animal’s breed, days bred and fetal sex, she is sure to greet visitors with a smile and an invitation for a lunch up the hill — after the work is done, of course. Days like this one can be long, but to Nancy and her crew, all the work is well worth the reward. “Tradition and the cattle people are why we do this,” she says with a smile. “Another part is seeing new continued on page 24...

CHURCHILL BULLS PAY THE BILLS Bad weather, trade wars, plant fires, fake meat — they hit us where it hurts, and we can’t control any of them. But we can control another major variable of revenue, genetics. Research shows Hereford bulls increase revenue 5-7 % at sale time on black or red cow-herds, due to heterosis and branded-beef program qualification. You can increase this figure even more by using high powered, high performance bulls who can cover pastures well — the kind of bull you find at Churchill Cattle. It’s easy to keep doing what’s always been done. But to increase your bottom line, you may need to think outside of the box. Reach out — we’d love to help.

Breed Focus by Jack Ward

Building Through Innovation The AHA continues to offer members new and unique opportunities. The American Hereford Association’s (AHA) fiscal year (FY) has concluded, and the staff has been working diligently to plan the Annual Membership Meeting and Conference, filled with educational sessions, social activities and, of course, the new Board of Directors election. This year’s group of six Board candidates is a passionate group of breeders who will bring great knowledge to the Board. Even if you are not a delegate, get engaged, meet the candidates and share your thoughts with your state’s voting delegates. This year’s educational forum will kick off with Sara Place, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, to provide updates on sustainability efforts in the beef industry and will wrap up with a recap of “The Brand” Marketing Summit presented by Mark Core. Be sure to visit the industry trade show to discuss the latest innovations in the business. On behalf of the AHA, I would like to thank the organizations that will be a part of the event.

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

Driving Innovation In business, innovation results when a company applies ideas in order to satisfy the needs and expectations of customers. The AHA continues to focus on innovation to fulfill the

| October 2019

needs of our members. This past fiscal year has been no different. We began FY 2019 by implementing changes to the Certified Hereford Beef ® carcass specifications to allow the program to support a high-quality, very consistent and tender product demanded by both food service and retail consumers. Early in 2019, an updated, mobilefriendly and more efficient version of MyHerd was released. More than 80% of registrations were submitted through a mobile platform and the majority came through MyHerd. This real-time system is one-of-a-kind in the industry and gives breeders the opportunity to register and to transfer cattle, to submit performance data and to request DNA 24/7. The AHA staff worked with Theta Solutions and leaders in Uruguay and Argentina to relaunch the PanAmerican Cattle Evaluation (PACE). Released for the first time this summer, these expected progeny differences (EPDs) allow breeders from both North and South America to compare and to search animals directly across continents. In June the AHA hosted more than 200 breeders at The Brand Marketing Summit to help breeders develop a stronger marketing strategy. To continue the momentum, the

AHA staff and Mark Core launched a Marketing Fitness Challenge to encourage attendees to continue improving their marketing strategy. Youth programs continue to provide education and leadership opportunities. During the 2019 VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo, a college and business fair — Bridging the Gap — was introduced to connect junior members with secondary education opportunities and agriculture businesses seeking great young talent. Furthermore, the Fed Steer Shootout continues to grow with a focus on education. I would like to thank the folks at BioZyme® for their continued support of this program. Additionally, the AHA has worked with HRC Feed Yards, Scott City, Kan., to start a retained ownership program to allow breeders and their customers to collect individual carcass information to add to the AHA genetic evaluation. This program will help identify cattle that perform well in the feedlot and on the rail. Along with the continued growth of the National Young Sire Test program, the Feedout program will identify cattle that work in all segments, while keeping a focus on the Hereford-based female that is known for longevity, fertility and disposition.

Board Action

Summer Board Meeting Highlights

The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met Aug. 13-14, 2019, in Sioux Falls, S.D., for the summer board meeting. The following are the highlights for the meeting.

Finance/Audit Joe Waggoner, committee chairman, led discussion and reviewed the 2019 financials through June. The Board approved a surplus 2019/2020 budget of $49,640 before depreciation. After depreciation, the consolidated net loss would be $192,418. The Board unanimously approved a 10% increase in Hereford World advertising rates starting with the November 2019 magazine and a $2 increase in registration fees effective Jan. 1, 2020. Additionally, the Board unanimously approved to change the rebate on DNA submitted through TSU from $6 to $4 effective Sept. 1, 2019.

Breed Improvement Joel Birdwell, committee chair, led discussion and the Board was updated on various ongoing projects including the relaunch of the Pan American Cattle Evaluation (PACE), new 100K SNP chip to be released later in 2019, eye-pigment research and the Cow

Project. Staff reported over 10K cows had been genotyped including the Olsen Ranch test herd females.

Show and Sale Bruce Thomas, committee chairman, led discussion and the Board unanimously voted to add a senior yearling division to the female show at the National Western and Southwestern Stock Show starting with the 2020-21 show season. Senior yearlings that show are required to be nursing a calf that is not more than 240 days of age. The senior yearling division winners will compete for champion female. The Board also voted unanimously to change the age of calf on the side of cows from 270 to 240 days on the date of the show. This change will be effective starting with the 2020-21 show season. The Board unanimously voted to approve a change in how divisions are split at the Junior National Hereford Expo

(JNHE) because of the number of cattle shown. This change will take effect at the 2020 JNHE and will give staff the flexibility to break divisions more evenly.

Hereford Publications Inc./ Creative Services Tommy Mead, committee chairman, led discussion and the Board was updated on the new sale catalog platform, Herefords on Demand. The Board was also given a presentation on how the new ‘Sale Results” page will work on the AHA website.

Hall of Fame/Merit The Board was presented with a large slate of candidates for the Heritage Hall of Fame/Merit. The Board selected Harry and George Tjardes, Ill.; Denny Hoffman, Neb.; Guy Colyer, Idaho; and Mark Cooper, Mont., for induction into the Hereford Hall of Fame. Jack Chastain, Texas, and Jim Reed,

Mo., were selected for induction into the Hereford Hall of Merit.

Marketing and Communications Kyle Pérez, committee chairman, led discussion and shared with the Board that the comments and feedback from “The Brand” marketing summit has been outstanding. Diane Meyer updated the Board on the strategy moving forward to keep the attendees engaged. She presented the Marketing Fitness Challenge which will cumulate at the 2019 Annual Meeting and Convention. Pérez then introduced Eric Grant, Grant Co., to present the new approach to the national ad campaign. The focus will be “Come Home to Hereford.” Grant also shared some of the videos that have already been developed, including a video of “The Brand” Marketing Summit which aired during the RFD-TV Market Report segment.

Results from Stahly Ranch

by Shane Bedwell

2018-born calves at NRSP partner Stahly Ranch deliver in the feedlot and on the rail. Below are the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) results from 2018-born calves at Stahly Ranch in Cavour, S.D. Mike and Judy Stahly, along with their family, have been a part of the NRSP since 1999. Each year, Mike will select three sires to use in his program, and one of these sires will also be used at Olsen’s in Harrisburg, Neb., so that the data is linked and comparisons can be accurately made between young and proven sires. The American Hereford Association’s partnerships with various test herds like Stahly’s, breeders can make betterinformed decisions relative to traits of interest. Ultimately the goal is to identify young sires that can positively affect the marketplace and give seedstock

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

and commercial breeders alike proof Hereford genetics are profitable. Likewise, proven sires are evaluated in this test to further validate their values and to give the young sires comparison with the Hereford population. Printed in Table 1 are the ratios and phenotypes from birth to harvest for the 2018 Stahly-born calves. These data have been added in the system and were reflected in the PanAmerica Cattle Evaluation (PACE) released Sept. 16, 2019. Table 3 shows the expected progeny differences (EPDs) for the respective sires with these data included. In most cases the phenotypic data aligned very well with the EPDs of sires, but not perfectly, which is not out of line. It is important

to remember EPDs are the best indicators of potential performance, but only when progeny data are added, do you begin to realize the individual genetic potential, particularly of young sires. In summary, the 34 cattle evaluated excelled quite well in the feedlot phase, especially when considering the tough winter and spring, by gaining more than 3.4 pounds per day. Likewise, in Table 2 you will find the group really rang the bell on the rail. I’m hopeful there is a sire or two in this group that piques your interest and can help push your operation to the next level. All three of these sires stack up really nice across the board and bring forth multi-trait excellence.

Measure Up

by Trey Befort

A quote I find very valuable and applicable comes to mind as I sit down to write this month’s edition of Commercial Connection: “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” — Peter Drucker As we wind down a busy and productive summer and prepare for fall activities, there are some great opportunities for producers to consider taking advantage of to measure value and performance and to add value to their operations.

Fed Steer Shootout Another successful National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout has been wrapped up, and though the contest steers endured an exceptionally harsh winter in southwest Iowa, some great information and, most importantly, a comprehensive education were gained by the

| October 2019

contest participants. To enhance the educational component of the contest this year, several educational videos and quizzes were developed with help from our great friends and contest supporters at BioZyme® Inc. Information from these activities, coupled with the data and information gathered from participants’ steers on feed, will be organized into “Performance Portfolios” to showcase their knowledge gained from the contest. The top five selected participants will be given the opportunity to travel to Kansas City, Mo., to present what they learned. Additional awards will be given based on these educational activities. We look forward to awarding all contest winners at the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Membership Meeting and Conference — Hereford Honorees Awards Ceremony, Fri., Oct. 25. To say I am proud of our youth who have invested their time and resources

in this contest is an understatement, and I look forward to seeing this program and our young leaders continue to develop in the future.

Hereford Feedout Program What our junior members have learned from the Fed Steer Shootout sets a great example of what, I believe, seedstock producers as well as commercial cow-calf producers should take note of and consider taking part in when an opportunity like this becomes available. A new program that gives producers an outstanding opportunity to get involved is the Hereford Feedout Program, which was introduced in last month’s issue of the Hereford World. Being held at HRC Feed Yards in Scott City, Kan., this program will give producers the opportunity to gain a valuable understanding of the cattle feeding industry and to collect some great information and data on cattle that

go through the program. Cattle will also be given the opportunity to be marketed as Certified Hereford Beef candidates through an industry-leading marketing program — U.S. Premium Beef. Gaining an understanding of how cattle perform in the feedyard and on the rail through a program like this gives producers such a significant advantage when it comes time to marketing their product. For additional details on the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout as well as the Hereford Feedout Program at HRC Feed Yards and suggested calf preparation protocols for each program, you can visit Hereford.org/Genetics/Breed-Improvement/ Feedout-Program/ or Hereford.org/Youth/ NJHA-Fed-Steer-Shootout/.

DNA testing is such a vital and important component in the beef industry. DNA testing is important for many reasons, but also remember the American Hereford Association (AHA) requires DNA testing on certain animals. Those cases include any sire born after Jan. 1, 2011, from which calves will be registered, as well as any dams being flushed and having embryo transfer calves registered to them. The AHA allows several different types of samples to be used for testing. To ensure you are using the best practices when obtaining your DNA samples and mailing them, follow these tips below for each sample type.

blood card with blood and to saturate just enough to fill the circle but not enough to make the card soggy. Do not over saturate the blood card, as this oversaturation could cause a “bad sample” result from the lab. Insert the blood card lid into the top slit so there is room for air to get in. Leave the card in a clean area to dry at room temperature. Do not use a heating source for drying. Once the card is dry, open the lid and insert it into the bottom slit for storage or shipping. Blood card samples can be collected at any age, so these are a better option than hair if you are needing to test a young calf.

Hair

Semen straw

When utilizing the hair sample method, collect the hair from the tail switch of the animal. Be sure to pull the hair sample. Do not cut it. You will need to collect 80 to 100 hairs. This may seem like a lot, but hair is easily broken, may not have a good follicle on it or could be contaminated. To make sure the lab can get a result, it is best to send 80 to 100 hairs. Try to make sure the hair is clean and not contaminated with manure, mud, bodily fluids, etc. It is best to wait until the animal is at least weaning age before taking the sample. Hair samples taken from young calves generally do not have a lot of follicles and are hard to get a result on.

Semen straws can be used as a DNA sample for bulls. They do not need to be shipped in anything refrigerated, and they can be room temperature. However, semen straws break easily, so when shipping them, be sure to put the straw into something protective. An easy way to keep them from getting broken is to use an ink pen. Simply pop the top off of an ink pen, pull the ink out, then slide the semen straw down into the pen. The hard plastic of the pen provides protection for the straw in the mail. It is also best to use a padded envelope to send samples, even if you have put the straw into a pen or some other protective casing.

Blood card Blood cards can be purchased from the AHA for $.50 a piece, with a minimum order of 10. Blood can be drawn by any method deemed desirable. Be sure to fill the blotting paper section of the

Tissue sample units Tissue sample units (TSUs) are the latest form of samples to hit the market. They are a great way to take a sample but, like all samples, are not fail proof. In order to collect a tissue sample, you will need to order the proper equipment — tissue sample tubes and a tissue sampling applicator (gun). You can order these products directly from AllFlex or through the AHA by filling out the order form found on the website and emailing it to eartags@hereford.org. Again, tissue samples are great for obtaining samples on younger calves

DNA test prices:

• Genomic profile: $42 • Full package (Genomic profile plus horned/polled test): $58

• Add on horned/polled test: $30 • TSU credit: $4 because they can be collected at any age. However, the sample should not be taken immediately after birth. The calf could still have fluids on it that would contaminate the sample. Give the calf at least a few hours to “dry off.” When collecting a tissue sample, be sure to wipe the ear clean, but that is it. Do not use any cleaning products to clean the ear; these could contaminate the sample as well. Simply use a dry cloth or paper towel to wipe the ear. Try to collect the sample from a portion of the ear that doesn’t have a tattoo. The tattoo ink could cause the sample to be contaminated and then fail testing. Be sure the white cap is pressed down firmly on the tube, ensuring the sample of liquid cannot escape. When shipping TSUs, like semen straws, it is important to protect them properly. They should not be sent in a regular envelope as they puncture the envelope and then fall out, showing up at the lab with a submission form but no sample. Be sure to send them in a padded envelope or some other form of protective casing. As always, all samples should be sent with the corresponding DNA submission form for the specific animal.

CHB Bites

Reaching Out and Giving Back

by Kaylen Alexander

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

Certified Hereford Beef Hosts Farm Tour for US Foods® Austin The Certified Hereford Beef ® team recently brought the history and story behind the Certified Hereford Beef brand to life in front of two key members of the US Foods® Austin team. The US Foods® Austin Category Operations Manager and Center of the Plate Specialist convened at Certified Hereford Beef headquarters in June to get an in-depth look at the Certified

Hereford Beef brand before diving into the life of a Hereford producer at Schu-Lar Herefords in LeCompton, Kan. “This farm tour was a great opportunity for our Certified Hereford Beef partners to gain a greater understanding of the beef production cycle and the level of care and respect our Hereford producers give to their cattle day in and day out,”

says Trey Befort, Certified Hereford Beef director of commercial programs. “It was a great day on the ranch, and we appreciate everyone at Schu-Lar Herefords for their hospitality.” Mack Brown, US Foods® category operations manager, shared excitement about the quality the Certified Hereford Beef brand brings to their product portfolio. “I’m excited to have the opportunity to add Certified Hereford Beef to our assortment in the US Foods® South Texas area,” Brown says. “The brand has a rich story backed by a product that is equally rich in quality. This is truly a brand that will allow our customers to distinguish themselves from their competition, and I’m proud to be part of the team that is bringing this to them.” The US Foods® group concluded the tour with a visit to National Beef Packing Company’s Dodge City, Kan., plant. National Beef is Certified Hereford Beef ’s packer partner. “Our customer base will really appreciate the rich heritage of the Hereford breed, and that the cattle are raised by a network of small family farms,” says Andrew Dorsey, US Foods® Austin center of the plate specialist. “The 904 Texas producers, 20-25 average herd size and the proximity to processing all make this a big win for Texans that want local beef. CHB offers a unique opportunity to partner with a 100% purebred genetic program that is maintained by an association of family farms.”

Certified Hereford Beef completes the farm-to-fork circle for the US Foods® Austin team during a farm tour at Schu-Lar Herefords.

Certified Hereford Beef Shines at Gold Buckle Gala

Supporters of Missouri agriculture enjoy Certified Hereford Beef strip steaks at the 16th Annual Gold Buckle Gala.

As people stepped up to support Missouri’s agricultural youth, they enjoyed a delicious eating experience with Certified Hereford Beef strip steaks. Certified Hereford Beef was the official protein sponsor for the 2019 Gold Buckle Gala, hosted at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds in Springfield, Mo. “The Certified Hereford Beef New York Strips were absolutely amazing,” says Aaron Owen, Ozark Empire Fairgrounds and Event Center general manager. “We run a large catering business, as well as our concession stands here at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds, and these steaks were hands down the best steaks we have ever served.” In its 16th year, the Gold Buckle Gala is the signature event of the Ozark Empire Fair Foundation. Its primary purpose is to recognize the efforts of southwest Missouri 4-H and FFA livestock exhibitors who have qualified for the auction and to award youth grants and scholarships. This year’s auction set a new record for money raised. “We are happy to support the Gold Buckle Gala and the opportunities it provides to Missouri’s young agricultural leaders,” says Amari Seiferman, Certified Hereford Beef president and CEO. “These young adults are the future of the beef industry and we hope to play a part in their ability to make an impact.”

Annual Meeting Season

by Bonnie Reid

Wow — fall is upon us already and another year has passed. We are about to start a new year filled with excitement and new opportunities. Three new board members are soon to join our board at our annual board meeting Oct. 25 at 11:15 a.m. But at the same time, it is a sad time of year when we have to say goodbye to three of our board members — Karen

Smith, Texas; Rhoda Eck, Okla.; and Trudy Nolles, Neb.. We want to say thank you for the time you have given us the past four years. Your enthusiasm, wisdom, passion and willingness to help the youth of the American Hereford Association are much appreciated. We acknowledge the commitment you have given to the National Hereford Women (NHW)

From the candidates Bridget Beran, B&D Hereford & Angus — “I feel that I can bring an added skill in marketing and communications, given my career history in the field. I’m experienced in traditional and digital marketing, which I believe could benefit the NHW in its promotional steps.” Bridget is currently a freelance writer and an independent photographer. Callea Briener, Mill Creek Ranch — “I feel that I can enhance the national board by influencing young Hereford enthusiasts to follow their dreams and enhance their own strengths to become who they aspire to be. I will support the youth and our programs that will allow them to further their education.” Callea is currently a nurse practitioner at the Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Center in Manhattan, Kan. Kathy Bryan, Bryan Cattle Co. — “I feel that offering unique opportunities for the breed and members is what sets us apart from other breeds and recognizing that is what will keep moving us forward. I feel that it is of utmost importance to continue the tradition of women in agriculture and in the Hereford breed.” Kathy is currently an agricultural science and high school science teacher in Garrison, Texas, and an adjunct faculty member at Panola College in Carthage, Texas.

I want to say I have gained three amazing new friendships in these beautiful ladies, who will be starting at new chapter in their lives but still promoting Herefords. Thank you for your dedication.

Next chapter We are proud to introduce our three new candidates running for the board — Bridget Beran, Claflin, Kan.; Callea Breiner, Alma, Kan.; and Kathy Bryan, Garrison, Texas. We look forward to getting to know each of them, and I am excited to see how much we can achieve with new educational ideals for the youth and in promoting the Hereford breed.

Red calves are the backbone of the commercial side of the operation at Bowling Ranch.

babies born, then seeing the genetic improvement from what we had before.” “For me that is the biggest satisfaction,” adds Melvin Young, longtime ranch manager.

For the history books At the very northernmost part of the state, the ranch claims Newkirk, Okla., as home. However, home for the family raising Hereford cattle over the last century began in the Manchester and

Melvin Young has been managing Bowling Ranch for many years, and he speaks highly of the red baldy calves they have produced with elite Hereford and Red Angus genetics.

Richmond, Ky., areas. It was not until the early 1900s the Bowlings took up residence in Oklahoma. Partial to the red and white breed, the Bowlings have a rich history with Hereford cattle. In fact, the late Dan Bowling never considered another breed over his tenure in the cattle business — that is until the late ’90s. “When Dan was alive, I teased him about having a retirement plan for his cows because he never did want to get rid of them,” Nancy laughs. Dan was very proud of his cattle. In fact, Nancy and Melvin tried to pull a fast one by selling a couple of older bulls at the local sale barn for failing a fertility test. Needless to say, Dan caught them red-handed. The rest is history, but it was shocking to all when Dan came home with some Red Angus in his trailer in the ’90s. Claiming there was value in a crossbreeding system with the two breeds, he was looking forward to a bright future with both Herefords and Red Angus. With his wife, Nancy, at the helm today, not much has changed. Nancy and crew members — Melvin and his son, Kris, and their newest addition, Jared Bain — see value in producing high-quality seedstock Hereford and Red Angus cattle while still reaping the advantage of combining the two. Their sustained commercial herd provides the crew at Bowling Ranch a unique position to experience the cattle industry as both seedstock producers and commercial cattlemen. This combination lends them the ability to produce seedstock genetics to best fit the commercial industry. With the recent addition of Jared on staff, they are aiming to repurpose some of their herd to show stock for local young showmen. In fact, they have already seen some success in the showring with reserve champion pens of females at both the Fort Worth Stock Show and the National Western Stock Show in Denver. To Melvin’s chagrin, they unfortunately have not taken home the champion title in either Hereford or Red Angus. “That’s my goal before I retire, to win that,” Melvin notes. His goal may become reality before he knows it. From Jared’s perspective, Nancy has assembled a dream team of sorts in Newkirk. Melvin and Kris have years of experience in the commercial cattle industry. While Jared shares a passion for that segment of the industry, his expertise is found in the stock show scene. With Nancy’s philosophy of being “openminded and always trying to get better,” they are sure to fulfill customers’ needs in both areas. “We want good cattle that will work for the ranch person and that still have good feet and udders to be competitive if they were showing somewhere,” she explains. “I think a person could come in here and go through what we are going to offer in the production sale and be able to pick out stuff that is going to go to work and put pounds on the ground,” Jared adds, “but at the same time have enough look that if they wanted to take them to a show program they are going to work.”

Foundation of the business

Kris Young (l) and Jared Bain (r) assume their roles on the ranch with pride in the quality of both commercial and seedstock genetics they have a hand in developing.

While a small component of the ranch will cater to the showring, its foundation is still laid in the commercial business. Bowling Ranch currently runs approximately 1,200 cows on its Oklahoma

grassland. Roughly 1,000 of those are considered part of the commercial herd, while the remaining 200 are either purebred Hereford or Red Angus. For the last six years Nancy and the crew have hosted a production sale on the ranch, complete with a prime rib dinner, to share their seedstock genetics. Historically selling docile two-yearold bulls grazing wheat pasture and fed grain before the sale, they are transitioning into offering some younger bulls this year, as well. For bulls to reach the auction block at Bowling Ranch they must go through a stringent culling process first. Melvin says it begins with the dams of the bull calves. All females have to earn their spot in the herd by exceeding expectations on feet, udder and phenotypic and genotypic evaluation. Once the bull calf hits the ground out of an elite female, he must first pass the phenotypic test. Then, Melvin says, they evaluate his data and will continue to cull bulls which do not meet the mark all the way up to sale day. This process ensures customers are taking home the best genetics to make high-selling commercial calves of their own. As far as the Bowling Ranch commercial herd, cattle are frequently sold through the auction in Cherokee, Okla. Melvin proudly boasts their cattle often top the sale due to their advanced health protocol, their feed efficiency and their phenotypic superiority. In fact, oftentimes the same guy will try to buy the calves, but he runs into some competition every time. “He really likes them because they gain fast and they are pretty efficient,” Melvin notes. The crew attributes these traits to the value brought to the table by both breeds. In addition, Nancy applauds the ability to keep the red hide. “The red baldies are pretty special,” she says.

Bulls at Bowling Ranch undergo a stringent culling process before being used as herd bulls or offered in the production sale to customers.

He did not only walk the walk, though. He talked the talk. His daughters went on to produce great females which act as the foundation of the Bowling Ranch herd today. “We had a set of heifers out of him who gained three pounds a day on wheat pasture,” Melvin recalls. “Their numbers were also great. To me it showed that the numbers did work.” Believing in accurate data led the ranch to subscribe to the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program offered by the American Hereford Association. In addition to the minimum records required for the program, the Tools for excellence ranch goes the extra mile by supporting the The red baldies This type of herd, commercial cattle or Premium Red Baldy program and more. otherwise, does not come by overnight. Nancy and the Bowling Ranch crew score are pretty special. No, Nancy says it has taken years to get the reproductive tract in all females, and — Nancy Bowling they capture a pelvic measurement. By doing where they are today — the foundation being Hereford cows. this, they can better select females to retain “Dan’s philosophy was, ‘the Hereford cow has always been good to make the next generation of commercial and seedstock cattle to me,’” she reflects. “That supported his farming habit, meaning better for themselves and their customers. it paid for land. That is how he put this ranch together.” Beyond the cows themselves, Nancy and her crew pride It was not just any Hereford cow, either. “They needed to have themselves in pasture management. They rotate pastures to keep shape, and disposition is critical,” Nancy says. “We are trying to them as healthy and productive as possible. Controlled burning produce functional cattle for our customers.” and spraying for invading weeds are two more pieces of the puzzle Producing this level of animal has led them to utilizing to keep the land and livestock producing at peak efficiency. different tools while holding true to their foundation. Even with their land improvements, it is still rough country. But Incorporating the Red Angus and data management tools then again, perhaps the rough terrain adds a competitive edge to available today has only continued to elevate the quality of their cattle. Nancy points out, “They have to travel to water, feed, the cow herd. and its rocky so they have to be built well to do that.” Melvin notes one way they do this is through selecting their Jared and Kris agree if the cattle can make it in Newkirk, they breeding stock using a tried-and-true philosophy. can thrive anywhere. “I think they compete with anyone in the “If I go buy a bull, I’ll go through the catalog to pick the country,” Melvin adds. one with the EPDs [expected progeny differences] that fit our With high quality land and cattle coupled with an arsenal of data program then I see him in person,” he explains. “They have to which back these cattle, there is no telling what is next. As far as look the part. We are not going to just buy on paper because goals, Nancy quips, “Our immediate goal is to have a good sale!” that doesn’t work always.” In all seriousness, though, the entire crew can agree on one This philosophy on bull buying led them to purchase a bull at thing. “There seems to be an awakening that Hereford bulls work the sale during the Fort Worth Stock Show. Melvin remembers on a lot of different cows,” Nancy says. “Hopefully we can get this bull’s impressive resume of reserve or champion division every people to think outside the box — even beyond a black baldy or a time he hit the ring. red baldy.”

A new generation of proteins may have Americans contemplating what’s for dinner. by Rebecca Bland

he media is abuzz with stories about the latest and greatest plant-based proteins and the accompanying movements to reduce or eliminate meat — specifically beef — from diets of Americans and populations worldwide. The information leaves U.S. cattle producers questioning whether they should be concerned about the future of the U.S. beef industry. No one can say with certainty how the future will play out, though many positive factors leave beef industry experts feeling confident about the outlook for cattle producers.

Rethinking plant-based proteins

The introduction of plant-based proteins is not new. After all, veggie burgers debuted in 1982, Boca Burgers hit the market in 1993, and high-protein grains such as quinoa have risen to stardom in the past several years. Today, a new generation of plant-based proteins has captured America’s attention, with manufacturers lauding the products better than beef regarding health, the environment and animal welfare. A primary difference between these new plant-based proteins and earlier products is meateaters are the new target audience rather than vegetarians and vegans. Plant-based proteins which have received the most attention lately come from Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat. The Impossible Burger, an all-plant patty for meat lovers, is available in more than 5,000 restaurants including Burger King. The patty uses synthetically produced heme to replicate the taste and texture of beef, beet juice to imitate blood, and coconut oil bits to replicate animal fat. In April, Burger King test marketed the Impossible Whopper — made with “a savory flame-grilled patty made from plants” — and, following encouraging sales, rolled it out nationwide. Beyond Meat produces the Beyond Burger, a pea-protein patty the company claims “looks, cooks, and satisfies like beef.” Consumers can find Beyond Burgers at Kroger, Publix and other supermarkets and in restaurants including Carl’s Jr., Del Taco and TGI Fridays.

Meat or Plant-Based Protein?

Global movements have cropped up to convince consumers to collectively shift away from meat-inclusive diets. For decades, vegans have excluded all animal-based foods and nonfoods, and vegetarians have committed to diets which exclude meat but may include eggs and dairy. In 2019, vegans and vegetarians comprised 7% of the U.S. population, the same percentage that were vegans and vegetarians in 2008 (see Figure 1 below). Studies show many meateaters want to reduce how much meat they eat but do not want to become full-blown vegetarians or vegans. Now, movements such as flexitarians, reducetarians and climatarians are increasing in popularity to limit, but not eliminate, meat from diets. Flexitarians adhere to a plant-based diet with some inclusion of meat, eggs and dairy products in moderation. Reducetarians, whether consciously motivated by a movement or not, gradually reduce the consumption of meat, eggs and dairy in an attempt to improve their health, the environment and animal well-being. Climatarians limit consumption of beef and lamb because they believe the carbon footprint of these livestock damages the climate. Also, Meatless Monday has gained momentum. This global movement encourages people to forgo meat one day each week. Celebrities, musicians and chefs have jumped on this meatless bandwagon, which has even reached the New York City public school lunch program where 1.1 million students will receive allvegetarian breakfasts and lunches every Monday.

Demanding more beef So where does this plant-based, reducetarian, climatarian information leave the U.S. cattle producer? According to Jennifer Tilliss, executive director of issues management and media relations for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), cattle producers should continue with business as usual because although consumer interest in plant-based proteins may be on the rise, so is demand for beef. “When people are trying these products, they’re not trying them in place of beef,” Tilliss says. “They’re continuing to eat just as much beef. It’s just something else to try when they potentially want a meal that doesn’t have any meat in it, similar to how some days you feel like you want a salad.” Indeed, demand for beef is continuing to grow. For the fourth straight year, per capita consumption of beef has increased from 53.9 pounds in 2015 to 58 pounds in 2019. In 2018, expenditures on beef reached an all-time high of $105 billion in sales, and the foodservice industry sold $31 billion in beef compared to $99 million in beef substitutes. Beef substitutes including plant-based proteins account for only 0.5% of total market share. “Even though a lot of the media attention today is going to that plant-based meat alternative, the vast majority of consumers are still meateaters, and I think that’s lesson No. 1,” says AnneMarie Roerink, principal at 210 Analytics LLC, a qualitative and quantitative market research company. “It’s very important to keep talking about the fact that the vast majority of Americans love their meat, eat their meat, and not just let plant-based meat alternatives constantly steal the media thunder and, as a result, create a lot of intrigue among consumers.” The NCBA agrees. “Beef demand is up, and that signals to us that consumers continue to want beef and to crave beef’s great taste,” Tilliss says. Her advice for cattle producers is to promote beef by educating consumers about the health benefits of beef, Figure 1: Annual diets trending Percent of total with the following diets

the sustainability of cattle and the responsible care producers take toward their animals.

Proclaiming the health benefits Not all proteins are created equal, and research shows consumers know the difference. When ranking a list of protein sources from best to worst, consumers consistently rank beef as one of the best sources of protein while plant-based proteins fall low in the rankings. Beef contains high-quality protein and nutrients with just one ingredient: 100% beef. With the global population expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, the world will need all the high-quality protein available to feed the masses, and beef is an excellent source of needed protein (see Figure 2 above). On average, Americans consume less than 2 ounces of beef per day, consistent with the 2015 Dietary Guidelines. Beef contains 10 essential nutrients, including zinc, iron and B vitamins, and has less fat, saturated fat and sodium than many plant-based proteins. Also, calorie count is a positive benefit for beef. A 3-ounce serving of cooked beef equals 173 calories. To consume the same amount of protein in quinoa, for example, a consumer would need to eat 3 cups of the grain, which is 666 calories. That’s an additional 493 calories to intake the same amount of protein from a plant-based food versus high-protein beef. “Consistently over the last three years, beef has come out among consumers as what they consider one of their top three sources of protein,” says Rick Husted, vice president of strategic planning and market research for NCBA. “Calorie for calorie, beef is one of the best sources of protein you can get.”

Promoting sustainability Cattle serve an important environmental purpose for the planet that plant-based dieters often overlook. Livestock are efficient upcyclers of human inedibles, meaning they convert forage and plant leftovers people cannot eat into high-quality protein people can eat. More than 40% of land in the contiguous U.S. is pastureland that is too rocky, steep or arid to cultivate. Cattle, as upcyclers, make productive use of the land to help feed a highprotein diet to people worldwide. When digesting forage, cattle emit greenhouse gas (GHG) through burps. Often, the beef industry is scrutinized for the amount of GHG emissions cattle produce. However, direct GHG emissions from U.S. beef production are estimated at only 1.9% of the total U.S. emissions, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The percentage is small compared to GHG emissions for transportation

The longstanding “Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner” campaign has played an instrumental role in educating the public about the health benefits of beef. Hereford.org

at 27% and electricity production at 29%. Cattle producers outside the U.S. have higher rates of GHG emissions from cattle, which account for the higher percentages sometimes reported by the media. The carbon footprint of U.S. beef is 10 to 50 times lower than other regions of the world due to improved productivity practices and scientific advancements (see Figure 3 above). “I think people are applying global conclusions when cattle are raised really differently in different regions of the world,” Tilliss notes. “We absolutely raise beef sustainably in the U.S. We produce 18% of the world’s beef with only 8% of the world’s cattle.”

Caring for the herd Many plant-based diet movements are driven by concern for the welfare of cattle and agricultural animals. But cattle producers know their animals and are committed to caring for and responsibly raising healthy cattle. Cattle producers operate more than 700,000 cattle farms in the U.S., and those farms have an average herd size of only 40 cattle. “Animal welfare is something we know consumers are concerned about and so we try to do our best to help them understand that the beef industry is really committed to animal welfare and raising beef responsibly,” Tilliss says. “Not only is it the right thing to do, but it leads to a higher-quality product.”

Making a difference As plant-based proteins and movements make headlines, cattle producers may want to actively participate in the discussions. According to Tilliss, producers already have most of the information they need — the most influential way to participate is continuing to promote beef by discussing nutrition and great taste, sustainability and responsible handling rather than comparing beef to plant-based proteins. Sharing personal stories is another great way to resonate with shoppers. “Overall, beef is in a really good place,” Tilliss says. “We expect that consumers will continue to want to put beef on their plates.” Editor’s note: Additional resources and tools about nutrition and raising beef, including videos about the people raising healthy cattle, are available at BeefItsWhatsForDinner.com.

With an average cow herd size of 40 in the U.S., there is no doubt small cattle operators are the majority. Even so, operations big and small hold animal welfare in high esteem to raise healthy cattle and maintain fertile soil. October 2019 |

Welcome and Session 1 | Innovation Through Sustainability | 9:30 a.m. Presented by Sara Place, Ph.D., senior director of sustainable beef production and research, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association

Cattle are acting as “upcyclers” in our food system: Rather than simply recycling, cattle are upgrading human-in-edible plants and food waste into a high-quality and delicious protein and essential micronutrients. In fact, cattle are more efficient at converting plants to high-quality protein than pigs and chickens. With the popularity of “plant-based” proteins, it’s time to take stock of beef’s contribution to the food system. Cattle are a mobile, self-replicating, fertilizing, solar-powered technology producing the original plant-based protein — beef.

Session 2 | Innovation Through Genomics | 10:30 a.m. Presented by Neogen®/GeneSeek® representatives

The American Hereford Association (AHA) is an industry leader in beef cattle genomics. Utilizing genomic data has allowed Hereford breeders to supply producers with high-quality genetics. Hear from representatives from Neogen/GeneSeek about the advantages of moving to the high-density GGP LD 50K chip and what breeders can look forward to with this upgrade. As leaders in cow genotyping, the AHA Whole Cow Herd DNA project also holds tremendous potential for the future of the breed.

Meet the 2019 Board Candidates Introducing the six Hereford breeders contending for a position on the American Hereford Association Board of Directors. Bill Goehring

Goehring Herefords Libertyville, Iowa 641-919-9365 keosalebarn@netins.net The Goehring family of Libertyville, Iowa, began in the Hereford business in 1973. Goehring Herefords’ registered cow herd consists of 150 spring-calving cows and 50 fall-calving cows, and their commercial Angus herd includes 400 spring-calving cows and heifers. The Goehrings breed 100 registered heifers every year as well as 450 black and black-whiteface heifers for their annual sale, held the first Wednesday in December. Additionally, they background 800 to 1,000 steers and finish 500 cattle at custom yards. Bill grew up on a small farm in southeast Iowa. He graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in animal science and then attended the World Wide College of Auctioneering. In August 1986, Bill’s family purchased a local livestock market in Keosauqua, Iowa. At the time the market needed a lot of work, so their first priority was building a feeder pig sale. The sale grew quickly, and for more than 15 years, the Goehrings sold 1,000 to 2,000 pigs weekly. When the hog business consolidated, they began to push their cattle sale and, through relationships built in the feeder pig sale, they were able to gain strength in the competitive cattle market. They now market 40,000 head annually in addition to market hogs, sheep, goats and hay. As the sale grew, so did the Goehring family — Bill and his wife, Becky, have four sons — Curtis (Lauren), Lucas (Cody), Ted (Rachelle) and Colby (Hannah) — and one granddaughter. Growing up, Bill was very active in junior leadership. He held positions on the board of the Iowa Junior Hereford Association, where his parents served as advisors for most of his junior career. He also served on the National Junior Hereford Association board of directors. Bill went on to serve on the board of directors for the Iowa Hereford Association and was president for two years. In 2013 and 2015, he had the honor of being asked to judge the national Hereford show in the Yards at the National Western Stock Show. Additionally, Bill is an active member of both the Iowa and the National Livestock Marketing Associations and served as the Iowa state president for two years. He has been a judge at the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship and has traveled to Washington, D.C., with the Livestock Marketing Association. He also serves on the Iowa Beef Council.

Whitey Hunt

Innisfail Farm Madison, Ga. 706-342-5353 whitey@godfreysfeed.com Whitey Hunt began working on and managing his family’s Hereford operation in 1972 and now owns and operates Innisfail Farm in Madison, Ga., with his wife, Lyn. Partnering with his son, Weyman, they breed 90-120 females and implant approximately 150 embryos annually for fall calving. Bulls are primarily marketed through The Source Bull Sale in Georgia and the bull test programs of Clemson University, the University of Florida, and the Alabama Beef Cattle Improvement Association. They are sold private treaty as well. Steers are run through the Georgia Beef Challenge, a venture which feeds out and sells steers on the rail and collects harvest data. An average of 60 females are sold annually through private treaty; however, the Hunts have set a goal to host a production sale in 2021. In addition to the cattle operation at Innisfail, Whitey and Weyman own and operate Godfrey’s Warehouse and Georgia Fertilizer, established in the 1870s. A native of Madison, Whitey received a Bachelor of Science degree in animal science with a minor in agronomy from the University of Georgia. He is a former board member and president of the Georgia Hereford Association (GHA) and regularly attends

American Hereford Association (AHA) annual meetings. Innisfail participates in the GHA Georgia’s Finest Hereford Sale and other state sales regularly. As youngsters, his sons, Robbs (Johanna) and Weyman (Ashley), showed Hereford heifers in 4-H cattle projects. The next generation of Hunts is looking to carry on the tradition, as two of Whitey’s five grandsons recently began their show careers showing Herefords through 4-H. The family participates in shows ranging from state shows to the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) and other national shows. Innisfail has donated, loaned and sold heifers to be shown by other youth exhibitors. Innisfail Farm has been recognized for its outstanding work throughout the years and has been named the Georgia Tree Farm of the Year (1992), the Georgia Cattlemen Purebred Breeder of the Year (1997), and the Morgan County Piedmont Soil and Water Conservation District Conservationist-of-the-Year (2015). Godfrey’s Warehouse received the Madison-Morgan Chamber of Commerce Business Legend Award (2009) and the Atlanta Farmers Club Agribusiness of the Year Award (1994). Whitey is also very active in his community and has served as a church elder of the Madison Presbyterian Church and as a member of the Madison City Council. He is on the Bank of Madison board of directors and chairs the bank’s audit committee. He has been a founding member and leader of the Green Morgan Forest Landowners Association, the Madison-Morgan Conservancy and the Morgan County Cattlemen’s Association.

Candidate Q&A Segment The six 2019 candidates for the AHA Board of Directors respond to three key questions regarding their candidacy.

Why are you running for a position on the American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors?

A Bill:

A Scott:

I have been passionate about Hereford cattle my whole life. Through the years operating the livestock market it has been a treat to see some gains in market share for Hereford and Hereford-influence cattle. When asked to consider running for the board, I asked myself, “What I can bring to the membership and the Association?” While marketing cattle at our market, I have been able to help establish a fair market for Hereford-influenced cattle by helping feeders see the benefits of Hereford genetics to receive fair value. I would like to help further that market development across the country.

A Whitey: I am running for the Board because I want to be

involved with the continued growth and advancement of the Hereford breed. I would like to have the opportunity to work with people with the same level of commitment I do and to give back to an organization that has given so much to the cattle industry, the Hereford breed and all of us who are in the Hereford industry. I believe strongly that doing things the right way and doing the right thing are reward and recognition on their own. I see the AHA as an organization that holds to those standards and it would be an honor to contribute to its work.

A Becky:

A Steve:

I was honored to be nominated by fellow breeders, and I would love to serve the members of an organization and breed that has given so much to me and my family. I feel I am a very well-rounded Hereford breeder — we show cattle, sell seedstock and beef, and participate in leadership opportunities such as “The Brand” Marketing Summit and the Annual Meeting. Herefords are my family’s business and livelihood, and I want to focus on maximizing every opportunity we can to ensure continued growth and success for Hereford breeders across the country. I come from four generations of Hereford breeders. I have been passionate about Herefords my entire life. It is truly impressive what the Hereford breeders have accomplished over the last several decades. We live in an exciting time. I wish to continue the advancement of the breed. Certified Hereford Beef ® (CHB) as a branded product can continue the resurgence of the image of Hereford beef. As a cardiologist I feel we need to promote Hereford beef as a healthy choice of protein. There are recently published data showing the health benefits of red meat. The public is not very aware of this data. In addition the tenderness of Hereford beef needs more promotion. We have a platform to do that in CHB. As a Board member I would like to be a spokes person to that end.

If elected, what are three goals for your tenure on the AHA Board?

A Bill:

| October 2019

Hereford bulls have gained in marketability over the past few years. We are beginning to see an increase in demand for commercial Hereford females. We have a perfect opportunity to promote the increasing desire to have Hereford cows back in commercial production. In the feeder cattle business, we can market black baldy cattle consistently at the top of the market. We struggle to hold fair market value for straight Hereford feeders. Partnering with feedyards to generate more positive data Hereford feeders, which can be used for promotion, will enhance our place in that market. We are fortunate to have very talented and strong leadership at the Hereford Association. We need to maintain the innovation, commitment and integrity seen in our leadership. I hope to help continue this vision if elected to serve on the Board.

A Whitey: 1. Continuing and expanding educational efforts

for our juniors, our membership and commercial cattlemen. Additionally, I would like to see our educational efforts expand more to consumers and the food industry. 2. Work to broaden the use of genomic traits and genetic tools to improve efficiency, disease resistance, fertility and economic traits. 3. The continued expansion of Certified Hereford Beef.

A Becky:

A Richie: When I was contacted by a fellow Hereford breeder

to run for the AHA Board, I asked myself, “Why do I want to serve on this board?” I believe my answer is very simple: I love and have a passion for raising quality Hereford cattle, and I have a willingness to join the AHA Board in selflessly promoting the Hereford and beef cattle industry for the betterment of our breed and the success of all Hereford breeders.

As a passionate Hereford breeder of 45 years, Hereford cattle, Hereford organizations and thousands of dedicated Hereford breeders have shaped who I am today. Our children have been raised in the Hereford family not because we forced them to, but because from their first exposure, they loved the breed and there was nowhere else they would rather be. My family and I believe we were put on this Earth to make the world a better place and we try to live that every day. I look forward to strategic planning and governance and preserving breed integrity while being innovative in our vision for this great breed. We have more tools at our fingertips than ever before — what great opportunity lies ahead! Performance and genetic testing have transformed this breed and as for us breeders, let’s see how far it can take us.

1. Continue to grow and to support the junior program. The juniors are our future, not only as future breeders and advocates for the breed and CHB, but also as leaders in the agriculture industry. Our investment in our youth, growing them into Hereford breeders and developing them as leaders is one of the greatest strengths of our organization. 2. Growing the CHB program so producers from all areas of the U.S. can participate, growing market share for our product and partnering with packers in other areas of the country. 3. Using our research dollars to identify and eradicate genetic defects before they become a widespread problem within our breed.

Hereford.org

A Steve:

1. We need to promote CHB as healthy, high quality, and tasty. We need to expand the CHB market to the large cities along the coasts. Enhancement of the image of CHB will benefit all Hereford cattle marketed whether marketed as CHB or not. The recent requirement of CHB to grade choice or better should be encouraged as a goal for all Hereford carcasses. The CHB index should incorporate more emphasis on marbling. It is my goal to make the discounts on red hided cattle a thing of the past. 2. Genetic analysis and precision are exploding. We need to continue to be the leading breed for collecting and applying genomic data for breed enhancement. We need to offer more reliable and predictable data to commercial cattlemen than any other breed. We need programs that prove Hereford value to commercial cattlemen. We need to quantify efficiency and promote these findings. This approach will improve our breed’s standing in the feedlot causing more demand for Hereford cattle. 3. The Hereford youth program is outstanding and needs to continue to be the best of the breed associations. It is bringing a lot of excitement and talent to our breed. Expansion of the opportunities for youth needs to continue in order to produce leaders of the future.

A Whitey: In the next 10 years there will be many changes

and advancements in gene editing technology. The Board will have to make policies to address these advancements. Implementing policies efficiently and effectively will require a strong and growing knowledge of the science and impact the changes can and will have on the industry. Some advancements, such as editing to increase disease resistance and the welfare of animals, will be easy to address. Others will require soul searching. The Board can best prepare to overcome this challenge by continuing to educate themselves and monitoring advancements in gene editing.

A Becky:

Our biggest challenge is managing our breed for phenotypically superior cattle while working on balanced EPDs [expected progeny differences] without going too far in any one direction. By using genomic EPDs, we have a more accurate tool to sell Herefords to our customers to help them improve their herds. However, we must not set too stringent regulations on what is acceptable because, as we know, Herefords are used in many different environments which, coupled with their mothering ability and docility, is what differentiates our breed. We also need to educate our customers so they can make informed purchasing decisions. Often times people just tell us to “pick one out” because all of the information is overwhelming — they tend to only care about one trait and do not know how to use the rest of the information to market their calves. Regional field days may be a way to increase understanding.

A Steve:

There remains a bias in the sale barns against Herefords. To eliminate this, we need to continue to improve the quality grade of our product. We need to promote the tenderness of Hereford beef. We need data to show the superior efficiency of Herefords. We need to expand the data showing the advantages of Herefords. We need to educate our commercial buyers on how best to use the genetic data to their advantage. Expansion of our branded product, CHB, is the key to overcoming this bias. We have an outstanding team of leaders at the AHA. Support of this team is critical to continue the amazing progress of our breed.

A Richie: With the above reasons for wanting to be elected

to the AHA Board in mind, continuance of breed improvement and advancement, along with breed promotion and junior development, are my high priorities. My goal is to listen to and make the needs and ideas of the Hereford breeders I represent my agenda. I feel if elected, it would be my duty to represent first and foremost their desires during my tenure as a national board member.

A Scott:

1. To maintain and expand on the premier junior organization among beef breeds. I see our junior programs as a “gateway” for young people to become Hereford breeders and Hereford customers for life. With the inherent docility of Herefords as well as the leadership and scholarship opportunities currently in place, we can accelerate our popularity among juniors. 2. To increase the percentage of Hereford genetics in commercial cow herds. We need to not only promote the advantages of turning out Hereford bulls, but also gain some real traction on the efficiency and profitability advantages of the Hereford-influenced commercial cow. I am astonished at how many commercial cattlemen in our region are not taking advantage of the F1 [first generation] female. 3. Assist our members and their customers in marketing their product. We need to be proactive in developing and growing Hereford-influenced calf sales — both feeders and replacement females. These sales have really helped boost sale prices in our area. Growing demand for our flagship food product, Certified Hereford Beef, is a point of pride to our membership and critical to our focus on our ultimate consumer.

In your opinion, what is the biggest challenge the AHA will face over the next 10 years? How can the Board prepare for and overcome that challenge?

A Bill:

Hereford.org

The Hereford breed has experienced a rise in membership and registrations the past few years. Market values for breeding stock have seen a corresponding improvement as well. During this period of growth our competitors have been very complacent about Hereford cattle. Over the next 10 years we need to remain very proactive with research and promotion to continue our growth trends. The competition no longer feels the demand for Hereford cattle is shortterm and they are ramping up to compete with us. I believe we are still in the very beginning stages of what will continue to be a steady increase in the demand for quality Hereford genetics!

A Richie: In my opinion, the biggest challenge the AHA will

face over the next 10 years is staying competitive in the marketplace. To remain competitive will require education of the public about the value of beef protein consumption, more widespread promotion and availability of CHB in the retail market and capitalizing on recent years’ resurgence and popularity of the Hereford breed on the registered breeder level to expand into the commercial arena.

A Scott:

My experience tells me our biggest challenge could very well be something currently not on our radar screen. From a leadership standpoint, we must utilize the best and brightest, make sure the best administrative practices are in place, maintain financial strength, be visionaries within our industry and be nimble enough to react if necessary. The rapid progress in genomics and technology has the ability to transform our industry in a short period of time. We must continue to be at the forefront in this area. As breeders, I believe we should maintain broad genetic diversity, recognize the advantages Hereford genetics have in various geographic regions and clean up what needs to be cleaned up. Above all, we need to understand our customers and what they are looking for.

A Performance Legacy Lives On

Crooked Lake Ranch, a polled Hereford cattle operation based in Frostproof, Fla., is known for its use of the Victor Domino bloodline and a strict breeding program. by Shelby Oesterreicher

he legacy began in Deland, Fla., where Peyton Turner Wilson (Pat) first fell in love with his wife, Patricia, and the white-faced, red-bodied beauties. Pat purchased his first set of Hereford cows from a lawyer by the name of Francis P. Whitehair. In 1956 he began his operation by using CMR Mischief Domino 113, a son of CMR Rollo Domino 12, just one of the first great bulls used at Crooked Lake Ranch. Pat later made a connection which influenced his legacy at the Coastal Plains Experiment Station in Tifton, Ga., where he met R.W. Jones and discovered the Victor Domino bloodline. The start of the bloodline throughout Crooked Lake Ranch began with the performance bull Victor Domino A14. Later, in 1971, Pat purchased 69 cows from Jones, the last cow purchase of the ranch, making it a closed herd. Of the four major purchases of the Jones herd, which dispersed in 1975, Pat’s herd is the only one remaining in operation. Now managed by David McCullers, Crooked Lake Ranch, a combined 1,700 acres, continues to exhibit loyalty to the Victor Domino bloodline in Pat’s honor with strict breeding and selection practices.

Branching out About 15 years ago, David convinced Pat to sell some bulls publicly. Pat’s initial response to David was if they are good enough for others, then they are good enough to keep. However, once Pat was convinced, the sales went to Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Iowa and Nebraska, to name a few. Through these connections, David has been able to share the Crooked Lake Ranch program and to improve the Hereford industry. Scarlett Jackson, one of David’s daughters, says not only does Crooked Lake Ranch have outside state interest in bulls, but the local Florida market is successful as well.

The late Pat Wilson left a legacy of high quality Hereford cattle for seedstock and commercial producers to reap the benefits for years to come. Hereford.org

“We have some that stay here in Florida that we sell to local producers looking to add some English back into these Brahman influenced commercial herds, and they have been great assets to a lot of the commercial cattlemen here in Florida,” Scarlett notes. “They bring a lot of good maternal traits to that.” Shayla McCullers, David’s wife, says the success of their bulls locally is growing and they have many customers who come early to pick their next herd sire. “He’s gotten buyers that are coming in, and they’re wanting to look at the calves long before we do fertility soundness exams,” she explains. “They want to put their names on the calves.” David believes in the legacy his predecessor built and strives to continue improving Hereford genetics through his cattle selection and customer base. Shayla describes how other breeders are using Crooked Lake bulls to take advantage of the The strict protocol for cattle in the Crooked Lake Ranch herd ensures uniformity and longevity in Florida’s harsh climate.

He notes the Maternal Advantage program has an “Anything that falls off the mark gets flipped to the commercial appeal for Florida producers because the marriage of genetics herd and if they start lagging in the commercial herd, they get between the Brahman and the Hereford breeds can make cattle flipped to the sale pen and they’re gone,” he says. more adaptable to the environment.

all is a time for back to school, football games and shorter days as the sun sets a little earlier each evening. For cattle producers, it also might feel like a time to ease up on the summer grazing schedule. But, if you are spending more time planning your fantasy football league than you are monitoring your fall and winter forage management, you are making a big fumble — and that could affect the productivity and resilience of your pastures for next spring and summer. Here, forage and nutrition experts offer advice on how to tackle fall and winter forage management, as well as design a game plan to determine if — and what — supplementation is needed.

Access resources

Managing forage plans is just as important during the fall and winter as it is throughout the summer growing season.

Just as a coach would evaluate the fitness status and skill levels of players on his team, fall is a good time to assess forage and pasture resources. Management decisions will be based on that inventory. Obviously, in areas challenged with drought conditions, limited forage resources may require producers to consider early weaning, to reduce herd size or to offer supplemental feed. Meanwhile, the spring and summer of 2019 for many areas across the Northern and Central Plains have been the opposite of drought — with ample, if not excess, rainfall. While the rain, storms and flooding in some areas has been troublesome, it has produced a bumper crop of forage in pastures and hayfields. In South Dakota, Range Management Specialist Emily Helms with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) reports, “The entire state is in the ‘green’ according to the SD NRCS Drought Tool.” How should this extra forage be handled going into fall? Helms advises if livestock numbers were not adjusted during the summer in order to utilize the extra forage, then producers have a few fall options to consider. Continuing to graze until “you’re outta grass” is one option. If that is the plan, Helms suggests making sure grass is allowed adequate regrowth prior to a hard freeze in order to promote good root regrowth. This is important as it allows the plant to store root reserves for going into winter. Appropriate stubble heights and regrowth heights for each grass species vary, so Helms says, “It’s best to talk to a range management specialist in order to determine adequate heights to keep your forage in tip-top shape going into the winter.” USDA NRCS or land-grant university extension specialists can assist with range management information. Leaving the extra grass to “feed the bugs” — more specifically the soil microbes underground is another option. “Leaving this year’s extra forage to help replenish the ground cover will promote good soil biological activity,” Helms explains. “In some areas where rain and forage have been sparse in the past few years, a little extra forage leftover going into the fall will help grasslands rebuild their resiliency and allow them to recover after being hit hard year after year.” She also offers advice when considering fall, winter or dormant season grazing for areas that have had adequate rain over the past few years. “Grazing plants after they have become dormant is a valid option, but supplementation may be needed, especially on introduced cool season grasses,” Helms explains. “These may need additional protein supplementation.” To assess specific supplementation needs, she recommends visiting with a livestock nutritionist to make sure livestock are getting the best quality diet possible for their stage in production. Additionally, Helms emphasizes when using dormant season

Forage sampling is very important to make proper recommendations and help you determine what level of protein supplementation you need.

grazing, the maximum recommended utilization is 60% of leaf material. She notes, “Even though the plant is dormant, it can still be overgrazed.” The leftover plant residue will help catch snow, provide erosion control and provide cover over the winter for wildlife and may also provide nesting cover in the spring, depending on the species of grass being utilized. And, what about hayfields? Helms says fall management of these resources should be handled similarly to those of grazed pastures — allowing adequate forage regrowth to occur prior to a killing frost. Depending on the forage species of the hayfield, these heights can range from six to 10 inches. These heights are recommended in order to maximize the lifespan of a forage planting, to ensure good spring growth and to limit winter injury.

Making the most As a forage management game plan comes together for fall and winter, another winning strategy to consider is utilizing crop residue to extend the grazing season. Seasoned range managers point out alternative sources of forage like crop residue — such as corn stalks, soybean residues or even cover crops — provide great sources of nutrient rich feed for livestock, while also giving summer pastures a longer rest period than they would normally have. Many states are now creating websites or Facebook pages to help link crop producers with available crop residues to livestock producers seeking grazing opportunities. In Nebraska, CropResidueExchange.unl.edu is one such site. This site also includes a page where cover crops available for grazing can be listed. South Dakota and Minnesota offer similar sites at SDGrazingExchange.com and MDA.State.MN.US/Cropland-Gazing-Exchange-1. And, for landowners who may be concerned about possible negative effects to the next crop from grazing, University of Nebraska at Lincoln (UNL) research has shown there is no need to worry. In fact, UNL research showed when corn residue was grazed at proper stocking rates, 15% residue removal, crop production after grazing was not reduced. In fact, grazing corn residue produced small increases to the following year’s soybean yield. Another option is to select a sacrifice pasture. Most producers already have a “winter pasture” where cattle are held after the snow flies or the rainy season begins. This is usually close to the farmstead or some type of barn shelter so cattle can be reached and given supplemental feed during inclement weather. It is important to stockpile this “sacrifice” area during the growing season so when livestock are moved here from midwinter through spring, there is some forage available. Livestock experts advise storing hay bales close to these areas, so they provide additional wind protection and access to feed even in the worst winter blizzard. And, once spring green-up occurs and cattle can be moved to other pastures, allow this sacrifice area to rest and to regrow until the next winter season.

Keep an eye on body condition As the seasons move from fall to winter, it is important to watch forage resources, but it is equally important to monitor if cows are maintaining adequate body condition. This will dictate if supplementation is necessary. Lance Kennington, a beef cattle nutritionist for CHS based in Sioux Falls, S.D., suggests several supplementation strategies to evaluate. Specifically, as supplementing is considered, producers should ask two key questions: What is the forage? What am I trying to do? He advocates using forage analysis and explains it is important to avoid over or under feeding nutrients and to know digestibility. As an example, he points to wheat baled for hay during a drought instead of being combined. But he cautions, “That is wheat straw that is going to go right through the animal. The energy on it is OK, but not the digestibility.” To this point, Kennington notes nutrient content and digestibility both affect animal intake. He emphasizes, “If a cow — or calf — eats 10% less than they are supposed to it can take an animal from a gain situation to less than maintenance. Intake is that critical.” Thus, he underscores forage analysis will guide supplementation decisions. Most important is protein, which he explains is the first limiting nutrient for beef cattle. “It’s required to get rumen digestibility,” he shares, and adds, “If the rumen doesn’t get protein, it doesn’t work well.” Kennington says manure can be a good indicator of the animal’s protein intake. If the cowpie is “stacking,” that indicates low protein at or below 6% in the diet, and he suggests protein Hereford.org

supplementation. As a side note, if manure is extremely loose, especially in a drought year, it could be an indicator of high sulfate water. Because protein content naturally decreases in pasture grasses in late summer and going into fall, — Lance Kennington Kennington cautions cows may begin to lose body condition and may need protein supplementation through cake or liquid feeds. Kennington says the minimum is typically a diet with about 8% crude protein to maintain feed intake and rumen function of lower quality feedstuffs. At this level the cow should continue to consume about 2% of her body weight. He reiterates, “Protein level of the diet does affect energy intake,” and notes this in turn affects body condition and can also influence calving success, pregnancy rate, calving interval and calf weaning weights. He adds, “If you get cows thin, those things are affected and likely decreased.” Kennington also says, “Fetal programming is a real thing. The fetus is affected as an adult.” He shares one study found the reproductive performance of heifers that were supplemented as a fetus compared to those that were not showed differences in pregnancy rate, and calving difficulty were lower among those heifers that came from cows that were supplemented during pregnancy. Of this he says, “Don’t let the cows run short on too much because you’re going to affect long-term the heifers coming back into your herd.”

Review the objectives As a supplementation program is considered, Kennington reminds producers to review objectives. These often include minimizing the negative impact on the forage resource, keeping productive cows in the herd and maintaining profitability. “You’ve got to think about next year and the next and what you need to do to stay in business,” he says. In situations where the quantity of forage is lacking either due to drought, overgrazing or a lack of hay, Kennington says, “If you are short of forage and trying to stretch, you need to feed protein.” He notes eight pounds of a cake cube can be equivalent to supplementing 16 pounds of hay. In situations where there is an adequate quantity of forage, but it is low quality — such as low-quality hay, crop aftermath or low-quality pasture forages — protein tubs or forage range cube products can work well. Kennington circles back to his initial point and says, “Forage sampling is very important to make proper recommendations and help you determine what level of protein supplementation you need. Is it 20% cake or a 30% tub?” To this, he also advises grouping the cow herd for winter feeding by age and nutritional needs. For example, one herd of replacement heifers, one herd of first calf heifers and thin older cows, and one herd of mature cows in good condition. “Grouping is a good idea, especially in a drought year, because they do have different nutritional nutrient requirements,” Kennington says. Regarding calves, Kennington notes early weaning can be a tool to help save pastures and cow condition. He says, “The calf eats quite a bit of forage, so you may need to get the calf weaned and give the cow a break.” That said, he prefers not to early wean if calves are less than 300 pounds. As a final point, Kennington says weaning calves can also lower the cow’s water requirements, which is important if water is an issue in pastures. He advises all producers to carry a water meter to test their total dissolved solids (TDS) levels. Kennington underscores bad water, which can occur in both dams and well water, can affect calf health. “I’ve seen calves sick all winter at the feedlot because of bad water.”

Avoid this grazing mistake Often, once fall arrives, a temptation is to “open the gates” and to “let the livestock have the run of the pastures.” But range managers agree this is one of the most costly mistakes that can be made. Why? Grazing down residual forage — below 4 inches — tends to damage the root reserves which contribute to the next year’s plant growth. Removing the forage residual that helps cover the soil reduces the protection of the soil microbes, and roots, from fluctuating temperatures, which can also affect the plant’s future productivity. Leaving the extra plant residue in place is also important in helping to catch fall and winter moisture and allowing it to infiltrate the soil instead of running off. The bottom line: where possible, allow pastures to rest in the fall so they can regrow and be ready for another grazing season come spring.

Key to Profitability Defining factors within an operation to increase overall productivity and profitability. by Laura Handke

tep back, look at the operation from a wider perspective and reflect. Reflect on what draws producers to raise row-crops and livestock. Perhaps it is the undying love for the industry or the love of a family business. Perhaps it is the challenge to feed a growing population with less resources or the desire to pioneer new technologies for this purpose. Although, in essence, it may be all of those things in addition to the need for profit. This thought poised the crowd for discussion when University of Missouri Agriculture Economist, Wesley Tucker presented to the 2019 Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas Beef Conference attendees this past January. Tucker went on to share amongst the farms he works with across Missouri, the difference between those who are profitable and those who aren’t is always

found in their management system. Additionally, finding a system that works vary from farm-to-farm because the circumstances, situations and resources are different between families and farms. The key: finding a system that works and learning where the operation’s strengths and weaknesses for profitability lie. “Does your grass make you the most money on your farm,” Tuckers asks, “or is it your fencing; maybe it’s your fertilizer? How about your cows, are they what’s making you money?” The reality is none of those things make money. The financial success of an operation is dependent on a producer’s knowledge — knowledge of the processes, how to use the resources at their disposal and the ability to determine which practices are the most valuable for the operation. “The practices you use to convert sunlight into grass into

something that you can sell is what makes you money,” Tucker says. “The “man” is the most important part of the word management, and how you set up your system and your knowledge of how the system works is what makes you money.”

Determine actual profitability Tucker says many of the operations he works with use their Schedule F tax form to determine whether or not their operation is profitable, and this practice, he says, puts a producer in a losing position from the beginning. “Farmers have two rules. Number one is don’t ever pay anything to the government, and number two is don’t ever forget rule number one,” he says. “So if you are using your Schedule F to determine whether or not you are profitable, you aren’t taking into account your end of the year expenditures, and you don’t know whether you were truly

Maximizing a management plan

Initializing a management plan starts with looking at overhead costs and University of Missouri Agriculture Economist, Wesley Tucker asks producers to begin with the following steps: 1) Manage stocking rates: Tucker encourages the producers he works with to first assess their stocking rates and make sure their pastures aren’t overstocked. 2) Improve grazing strategies: Look at grazing and haying strategies. All producers should be looking at what they can grow in the winter rather than what they can put into storage in the summer. Tucker encourages producers to think about feed, whether it’s growing from the ground or stacked in a bale lot, in terms of protein and energy, “I don’t care how many bales of hay you have or how much grass you have, I care about how many pounds of protein and how many pounds of energy you have,” he explains. “That’s what sustains a cow, not how many bales you have in the bale yard.” Tucker says a producer in his area typically spends $40 per acre on cash rent pasture, $40 per acre on fertilizer and can grow around 8,000 pounds of forage from the ground up, with average utilization somewhere in the 45% range. Producers willing to take their management a step further and implement intensive grazing management can see utilization as high as 70%, which is what Tucker encourages. “If we consider the numbers above, 40/40/8,000, being consumed by a 1,200-pound cow eating 2.6% of her body

weight and only utilizing 45% of the available forage, I can calculate that it is costing me $.81/day just in rent and fertilizer,” Tucker explains, “If I take that same animal, with the same numbers and increase her utilization to 70%, I’ve dropped that number to $.46 per day.” Regarding hay, Tucker says in an average year, grass will test at about 60% total digestible nutrients (TDN), averaging $.03 per pound of energy. In the same year, a bale of hay is somewhere in the neighborhood of $30 per bale, and Tucker stresses in his extension role he sees a lot more hay samples well below 50% TDN than above. A cow is far more efficient at harvesting forages than any piece of machinery on the farm. 3) Diversify: What else can you do with your land rather than only run cow-calf pairs? “The most profitable people I work with are those people who can run 100 pairs but choose to only run 75 and do something a little different with the rest of their grass. A lot of them are running stockers, some are harvesting fescue seed, but the point is, they aren’t putting all of their eggs in the cow-calf basket,” Tucker shares. “Creating flexibility in your system is critical.”

profitable or not. The only way you are going to know if you are profitable and what your true cost of production looks like is to sit down and do a balance sheet.” All things considered, the first thing that needs to be determined is a realistic set of working numbers from an up-to-date balance sheet. In the 42 years Kansas Farm Business Management Association has been collecting ag economic costs from producers, the average has been negative $92.50 per cow. Meaning, only six out of 42 years of cow-calf production netted a positive return. Tucker uses data sets to break production operations into a top third and bottom third based on profitability in a given year. Sharing from his experience, even in the worst years, there is still someone making money.

Control costs “The American beef industry was built on cheap land, cheap feed, cheap fuel and cheap fertilizer,” Tucker says, “but that’s no longer the case and those inputs eat-up your profit fast.” Tucker shares he has the opportunity to speak in many different places and the one commonality between every producer he speaks to is their cows eat 365 days a year. No matter what they are being fed those costs contribute to determining profits gained and profits lost. Across geographic locations, the biggest challenges to profitability are land and feed costs. Tucker says in the research he uses help producers establish management systems, 52% of the time profitability can be predicted using only one variable in the operation — feed costs. The second biggest driver of profitability is depreciation — how much new paint an operation has sitting in the barn Hereford.org

and finally, calf prices. Weaning weight, a common focus in conversations of profitability, has very little influence on profitability when looking at the management system. On average, the weaning weight differences between the top third and bottom third of the producers Tucker works with are plus or minus 10%. Conversely, it isn’t rare for Tucker to see a 300% swing in feed costs between the top and bottom division of the producers he helps. “The reality is, are production variables important? Yes, they are,” Tucker points out. “But what separates the profitable from the unprofitable producers is the operating costs.” He warns producers should be cognizant of what percentage of their operating budget is allocated to feed and land costs.

Shift feeding focus Feeding a cow for 365 days is a challenge, no matter how you go about it, but Tucker says the way an operation approaches the challenge and the methods they use to accomplish cow maintenance can drastically impact feeding costs, and, in-turn, profitability. “The biggest change to the beef industry was the round baler, followed by synthetic fertilizer, followed by an influx of corn production,” Tucker says, “We don’t look at what we can grow in the winter anymore; instead we focus on storing up enough in the summer to make it through the winter.” Maintaining profitability on the farm is a challenge, and when Mother Nature and trade uncertainties are factored in, there has never been a better time to review management strategies and look for new opportunities to make assets work for the operation. Thinking critically about a holistic approach to management may be the elevation a farm needs to go from average to the top third. Hereford.org

Hereford Mom Diaries

| by Christy Couch Lee

That Old Yellow Notebook It’s just a small, yellow, wire-bound notebook. The pages are bent. Some are stained from coffee or tea. Several are half torn out, with edges frayed. And it’s now one of our family’s most valuable possessions.

Memories recorded It’s the notebook in which my dad wrote some of his favorite memories as he lay in that nursing home for the final year of his life. His dear friend encouraged him to record these memories. And, although

The words on the tattered pages of this old yellow notebook will be cherished within the Couch family for years to come.

the multiple sclerosis had severely affected his ability to hold a pen and to write, he did it. On those pages are some of the stories my brother and I had heard for years. If you did not know they were true, you likely would not believe them. Our cattle-loving son, Nolan, hangs onto every word. He can recite them for you, almost verbatim. And now that my dad is gone, I cherish those shakily handwritten pages even more. As we grow older, it becomes more apparent memories of our parents are

even more special, and it warms my heart to see other families feeling the same. I’m in the beginning phase of working with an incredible man in the Hereford business — and an incredible man, period. His son and daughter have asked him to begin recording his stories for their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren to have for posterity. We are recording his memories from throughout his life. I am visiting with his family, and with individuals from his stellar career, and we are compiling them into a document that his loved ones can enjoy through the years. He’s told me he doesn’t plan for the project to ever go beyond his family. But it will be something to help those future generations to know who their grandpa; and someday great-grandpa and great-great-grandpa really was. I can promise they will cherish it forever.

Take the time If there’s one thing about the cattle industry, it’s filled with true characters. So many stories. So many memories of how things were done in the past. Memories of riding railroad cars with cattle to the Pens of Denver, of hitting six state fairs and 15 county fairs in one summer, and of sleeping in the barns with wallets under pillows so they did not get stolen. Memories of hauling a string of 30 to the shows and not thinking a thing of it. Even more important are the stories of what influenced those we love. The people who encouraged and mentored. The experiences which shaped our loved ones into the people they became. The life lessons to pass down through the generations so they are never forgotten. I’m so very thankful for the memories my dad shared with us while he could. My only regret? I didn’t record more of them while he was with us. I encourage you to reach out to your parents and grandparents, should you be so blessed to still have them here with you. Sit down with a recorder or a notebook. Ask them the questions you’ve always wanted their answers to. Do it while you can. It will only take a few minutes, but, I promise, those few minutes will be cherished for generations. Everyone should be so lucky to have an old, yellow, wire-bound notebook to pass down. Christy Couch Lee is a freelance writer from Wellington, Ill.

From the Field In passing James Douglas “J.D.” Gregory, 86, Houstonia, Mo., passed away Aug. 7. J.D. was born July 4, 1933, in Sedalia, a son of Earl Henry (E.H.) J.D. Gregory and Mary (Walkup) Gregory. His parents preceded him in death. J.D. graduated from Houstonia High School in 1953 and served in the United States Army in the Korean Conflict from 1953 to1955. He was raised on the family farm and lived all of his life in Houstonia. He was a farmer and cattleman who loved his polled Hereford cattle. He also raised donkeys for breaking cattle and enjoyed going on tractor cruises on his Super M tractor that he, his son Kevin, and J.D.’s brother, Robert, restored. J.D. enjoyed farm life and all that went with it. He and Kevin worked side by side until recently, with his family often helping with baling hay and working calves. He recently attended the Pettis County 4-H livestock show, sitting ringside, smiling as he watched his great-granddaughter show the family’s cattle. J.D. was a lifelong member of the Houstonia Methodist Church, the American Hereford Association, the

Pettis County Cattlemen’s Association, the Central Missouri Polled Hereford Association, the State Fair Saddle Club and the Missouri State Fair Foundation. He served as the assistant superintendent for the Missouri State Fair Mule Show and measured ponies for the Missouri State Fair 4-H and FFA Horse Show for several years. J.D. is survived by two sons, Jeffry (Sheri) Gregory and Kevin (Barbara) Gregory; six grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren, along with two brothers and extended family and friends. William (Bill) Wilson, 77, of Cloverdale, Ind., passed away Aug. 24. Bill was born Nov. 21, 1941, in Champaign, Ill., the son of Berl and Dorothy (Brewer) Bill Wilson Wilson. He attended Champaign schools and went to the University of Illinois to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in animal science. Bill loved the cattle business from 4-H on. He and his family owned Wilson Cattle Co., Cloverdale. Bill was a member of the American Angus Association and was elected to serve on the board of directors and was then elected to serve as president in 1997. He also was very active in the

Indiana Angus Association, where he held several offices, going on to be elected to serve as the state president. Bill was also noted as one of the top judges in the livestock industry having judged many national, state and county shows throughout the U.S. plus major shows in Canada and Zimbabwe. He was also noted for showing many grand champions at the national and state levels and on being the first exhibitor to show three National Western Stock Show grand champion bulls of three different breeds (Angus, Charolais and Shorthorn) in the same year, 1988. Bill also was inducted into the Livestock Breeders Hall of Fame sponsored by Purdue University in September 2000. Bill leaves his wife, Priscilla, and son, Chad, to carry on. He now joins his sister Jeanette Smith and his brotherin-law Jim, daughter Lori Green and another brother-in-law Jim “Turp” Gannaway and. He is survived by his sister Mary Lou Gannaway.

In the news Congratulations to Lawrence Duncan, Wingate, Ind., for his induction into the Indiana Livestock Breeders Hall of Fame. Some may know him as Lawrence Duncan; others may know him as the “energizer bunny.” Lawrence owns Able Acres on the west side of Wingate. His father, Harvey Duncan, began raising Hereford cattle in 1944, but before that, the Duncans raised Duroc pigs. During Lawrence’s high school career, he was the state champion in livestock judging. After he graduated from Richland Township High School in 1954, Lawrence attended Purdue University, majoring in animal husbandry. In 1958, Lawrence married Patsy and returned home to farm. Dec. 8, 1958, was the start of something great

— the first Duncan family Hereford sale. After that, Lawrence and Harvey began to expand their herd of Hereford cattle while continuing to raise swine. Every year since November 1973, Able Acres has held an annual sale. Just to give some details about exactly how great of a breeder Lawrence is, some say he has spent more time taking care of livestock than anyone east of the Mississippi. One of their catalogs published in 2012, states they have sold 2,047 lots of bulls, cows, heifer calves and more than 540 steers. These numbers do not even begin to include all of the other cattle sold in between these sales. Able Acres has received six Golden Bull awards from the American Hereford Association. Lawrence has served on the committee of the Indiana Performance Tested Bull Sale, representing the Indiana Hereford Association. Able Acres’ bulls are typically the highest-selling Hereford bulls in the Indiana Performance Sale. The farm utilizes all tools available to provide reliable, honest and quality genetics that have been sold to buyers throughout the U.S. It has had multiple champion bulls, heifers and steers at the Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky state fairs and winners at the Fort Worth Stock Show, the North American International Livestock Exposition and countless county fairs. Currently, there are about 150 cows in production as well as crops and hay. Lawrence’s pride and joys include his five children — Lary, Gary, David, Andy and Caril — and his nine grandchildren. Lawrence will leave the farm to watch his grandchildren exhibit their grand champion winning livestock, but not for much else. Able Acres will have its 47th annual sale Thanksgiving weekend in November 2019.

T hank You

to the Illinois Hereford Association for my induction into the Illinois Hereford Association Hall of Fame for 2019. •••

It was a great honor and also a humbling experience. The Hereford breed is extremely strong in Illinois and there are a lot of good cattle people in our great breed. Thanks to my family for their perseverance and love to help me achieve this honor. This was our 65th consecutive year competing at the Illinois State Fair. It is a family affair on a family farm. We have had in the last year the top selling bull at the Illinois State Sale the Illini Classic and the top selling cow-calf at the Heart of America Fall Sale. Look for our consignments to the Heart of America Sale, Nov. 24th in Greenville, Illinois.
