We Can Move the World

Like many of you growing up as farm kids, much was expected of my siblings and me. We were our parents’ half-sized farm hands who were to help with their fullsized work. Moving equipment, feedstuffs and supplies, or building and repairing shelter seemed like a neverending job. Something had to be moved or lifted, and it never appeared to be an easy task. Of course we learned to pick up that 50 lb. bag of feed using our legs, not our back, and a tractor and loader can come in handy, but, probably, one of the greatest tools we learned for helping with heavy lifting and hard work is the lever. And, to our surprise, a lever can be fashioned out of about anything — a T-post, a 2×4 piece of lumber, a pipe, etc. — and there were a lot of options for the fulcrum, or pivot. We as kids were able to lift objects that would otherwise have been too heavy for us. In describing the principle of the lever, ancient Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes is known for saying, “Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the Earth.” In his comment on the mechanical advantage of the lever, Archimedes is saying that with the appropriate use of tools, one can lift significantly more than with brute force. The concept transcends just lifting hefty objects. As

/ September 2016

cattlemen and Hereford breeders, we have a wealth of tools at our fingertips. With the right leverage, we can advance the industry even further than we might imagine. The technology available to Hereford breeders gives them the ability to make highly informed genetic decisions to advance their programs. They can capitalize on the strengths of the breed and through data collection and utilization can improve their herds. There are also an unprecedented number of avenues to market cattle from traditional methods to social media. However, one of the greatest assets available for leverage, youth, will ensure the strength of the breed and the beef industry. In mid-July, nearly 900 youth participated in the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). The quantity and quality of kids and cattle were unprecedented. It’s exciting to see adult breeders already leveraging this advantage, the strength of Hereford youth, through investing in programs that support their development as cattlemen and people of sound character. I witnessed Hereford breeders giving children responsibility, expecting good work and investing their time mentoring. But I also saw National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members rising to the challenge to learn, to grow and to help one another.

In this issue Each year the September issue of the Hereford World is dedicated to young Hereford breeders. The 2016 JNHE again set records. Youth from 41 states attended the event for a week of competition, leadership and educational opportunities and to have a great time. In this issue you’ll also learn about the Faces of Leadership-PRIDE Convention, which was hosted in Amarillo, Texas, which develops the next generation of cattlemen. We hope you enjoy the nearly 80 pages of editorial focused on Hereford youth. In addition to the JNHE results, we dive deeper into what makes an event like the JNHE happen — volunteers. With more than 100 volunteers from Wisconsin, the week went off without a hitch. Turn to Page 40 to learn how three sisters and former NJHA members use what they learned from their time as Hereford juniors each day in their careers. This is the beginning of the “Where are they now?” series we are excited to share with you. We also invite you to provide feedback to help us keep Hereford World relevant to our readers. Turn to Page 46 for a survey and for more information. We are looking forward to getting to know our readers better in order to produce the best magazine possible. HW

Shaping the Next Generation Each year, this issue of the Hereford World is heavily influenced by coverage of the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), and it gives us an opportunity to reflect on what a blessing it is to live in a country that affords us to choose what we want to do and how we raise our children. It especially hits home for Mary Ann and me as our oldest son, Cameron, has completed his junior show career and is finishing his college degree, and our second son, Carter, has begun his junior year in college with only one year left to compete on the national junior level. As I reflect on their junior years, I am sure I have the same feeling as many of you, and I am also sure that none of us would trade the memories or the opportunities our kids have had through these programs. Cameron will be finishing a degree in drama and theater at Southern Indiana University this fall, and Mary Ann and I have enjoyed watching him pursue this interest since he was very

young. It is also easy to see how his involvement in junior livestock activities has helped him gain confidence and talent in this area. Similar to other parents of children involved with livestock projects, our kids were not just cattle showmen, but they were involved in many of the contests and leadership activities and each of these activities has forced our sons to be strong in public speaking, quick and precise in their thinking and on time and able to follow an agenda. And, most importantly, they had to work with others to achieve a common goal. We may not realize that all of this is happening as they are all reading over speeches, studying for a quiz bowl, practicing a sales talk or organizing a cook-off team, but all of these activities are making our children stronger and giving them an edge in a very competitive world.

An impressive JNHE The JNHE was another huge success, and the state of Wisconsin, American

Hereford Association staff, National Junior Hereford Association board of directors, junior members, breeders and sponsors should all be proud of the event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each of you should feel a spirit of accomplishment for a job well done. The numbers speak for themselves as we saw more than 800 youth from nearly 40 states compete in contests, shows, showmanship and, most significantly, interact with others that have the same goals and passion for the Hereford breed and agriculture. One of the most noticeable things at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s JNHE was the number of younger exhibitors we had at the show. This really should get you excited about the long-term growth of the program and the continued excitement we see in the Hereford breed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fun to stand around ringside and walk through the aisles of the barn and see both accomplishment and disappointment in the eyes of the exhibitors, because both of these emotions are vital for the growth of our children. As the summer comes to a close and our children finish with the county and state fairs and head back to school, parents can feel a great deal of accomplishment because they have armed their children with the skills to be assets to the livestock industry and their local community and to be successful in any career path they choose.

Advancing the Beef Industry First, congratulations to the Wisconsin group on a job well-done hosting the 2016 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). I would also like to commend American Hereford Association (AHA) staff, the National Junior Hereford Association board and the many sponsors who make this event possible. Likewise, the turnout of exhibitors and the number of cattle shown were tremendous, leaving no doubt that the JNHE is in a league of its own. I also thought the quality of cattle exhibited throughout the week showed great promise as to the breed’s progress, and I want to compliment the juniors for breeding, selecting and preparing an outstanding set of cattle. Many times I caught myself looking up a registration number in the database to see how the pedigree and genetic profile stacked alongside a quality show heifer. I must say there were several cases where all three blended together quite nicely — again my compliments to the juniors and breeders behind these cattle that are truly trying to add performance with quality.

Tissue samples for DNA collection By now you have probably realized that the AHA is Using the Tissue Sampling Unit method offers the ability to capture a calf’s DNA at tagging.

/ September 2016

offering blood cards as a means to collect DNA. Blood cards can be requested by calling the AHA. The advantage of blood cards in comparison to pulling a hair sample is that you can sample a calf at a much younger age. Even though pulling hair is still an effective way to collect a DNA sample, you usually have to wait until the calf is four to five months old as the hair is easily breakable prior to this time. With blood cards, there is no age restriction. To learn more about collecting a DNA sample, watch the video “How to Collect a DNA Sample” on the Hereford YouTube channel, “herefordvideos.” The AHA will soon release an additional collection method called a Tissue Sampling Unit (TSU). AHA is partnering with Allflex to offer breeders TSUs along with traditional visual tags and electronic identification (EID) tags. Similar to blood cards, TSUs can be used at any point in an animal’s life. The main advantage I see with TSUs is the ability to capture DNA at tagging rather than waiting to see which animals you’d like to genotype at weaning or a couple of months ahead of your production sale. You will have already taken the sample and received the results from the lab. What about that unfortunate case where you are trying to get a donor or a sire permitted and the animal has died? You may

have some really good calves that need to be registered, but you don’t have a DNA sample. Using a TSU at birth alleviates many of these headaches that several have encountered, not to mention that it provides the lab with a clean sample that can be processed more efficiently, particularly when compared to hair. Before, there was some concern with submitting a tissue sample because once the lab has used the sample there is nothing left. This problem would limit in retesting and would result in collecting an additional sample. Now, because of the technology advancements with buffer solutions on how to amplify the DNA, a sample can be acquired from just the solution while leaving the tissue sample intact. So what’s the cost of a TSU? For $2 you can capture a DNA sample per animal. Whether you submit the sample or not, at least you’ll have it. TSUs can be stored for a lifetime in a freezer and, therefore, provide the luxury of submitting the sample whenever you want — using them is really a pretty cheap insurance policy. Think of it as being proactive rather than reactive. We are just on the cusp of the advancements in beef cattle selection through DNA, and TSUs offer you the flexibility to handle whatever comes your way. Look for updates on the AHA website for TSU and TSU tag combinations. HW

your herd. A herd ID isn’t your American Hereford Association (AHA) member number; it’s a maximum of six numbers and/or letters used to identify an animal within your herd.

Fall 2016 calf registration reminders As you register fall calves, take a second look at the registration form before sending it to the records department for entry. When calf registration forms are missing required information or directions are not followed, the registration will be put on hold until the correct data are provided by the breeder. Please review your calf registration form for the following:

• Assign a herd ID to each

calf and remember herd IDs cannot be duplicated within

• Report an embryo recovery date for embryo transfer (ET) calves. ET certificates are no longer required.

• Remember a registered name

cannot be more than 30 spaces long and may only include numbers and letters. Names cannot be duplicated. Make a calf name unique by adding a prefix or tattoo number to the end of the name.

• Provide full dam and sire

registration numbers. Only Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) participants, not pedigree breeders, are allowed to use a herd ID (identification number) in place of a registration number.

• Remember the name for an

unregistered animal must be its combined tattoo. A registered name can be added when the animal is updated to registered status.

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

Burger Fest Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) burgers stole the show at the third annual Burgers, Bourbon and Beer Festival on June 16 in Fargo, N.D. Sysco North Dakota, a supplier and partner with Certified Hereford Beef (CHB), was a title sponsor to the foodie festival and donated 60 lb. of CHB ground chuck to the event. “I like Certified Hereford Beef because not everyone has it and not everyone can get it,” says Chad Kline, business resource consultant and chef for Sysco North Dakota and burger-fest judge. “When I talk to people about the product, it sparks a lot of stories about family members who raised Hereford cattle. I think this product really connects with a lot of people.” The festival was hosted in downtown Fargo and boasted an attendance of more than 1,000 people from across the state, which was the largest festival attendance to date. With the purchase of a ticket, festivalgoers received “all-you-can-eat”

Marketing update samplings of burgers from restaurant vendors, 10 bourbon samples and five samples of various beers. The burger cook-off was the highlight of the event with 10 local restaurants participating. The contestants used the donated CHB chuck ground beef to craft signature burgers for a panel of four judges and festivalgoers. “There were 10 different burgers and there was a lot of variety in the contest,” Klein says. “Everyone was very happy with the taste and quality of the burgers.” Shotgun Sally’s, a Rock n Roll Saloon in Fargo, won the burger cook-off with its Hawaiian burger. The CHB burger base was topped with juicy pineapple, giving it a tropical flair. Sysco North Dakota plans to continue to partner with the festival and to donate CHB for the burger cook-off. “Sysco North Dakota continues to show commitment to the Certified Hereford Beef program and we value their partnership,” says Amari Manning, general manager and chief operating officer of CHB LLC. “We are excited for the continued growth and market presence Sysco North Dakota is achieving.” Sysco North Dakota is one of Sysco Corporations’ 177 subsidiaries and divisions throughout the contiguous United States and parts of Alaska, Hawaii and Canada. Sysco North Dakota services North Dakota, northern South Dakota and northwestern Minnesota.

Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) burgers took center stage at the annual Burgers, Bourbon and Beer Festival in Fargo, N.D.

CHB LLC hired two marketing and communication coordinators in May 2016 to enhance marketing efforts with a focus to connect producers and consumers to the brand. Kaylen Baker and Katy Holdener, both agricultural communications graduates from Oklahoma State University, hit the ground running and are making progress to make CHB a household name. “The talent and skill-set both Kaylen and Katy bring to the table will help elevate our brand awareness, connect our consumers to our producers and provide additional resources to further educate about the brand and the breed,” Manning says. Since consumers want to be active in the brands they purchase, creating conversation between producers and consumers is vital. “Our goal is to create a voice for CHB that resonates with producers and consumers,” Holdener says. “Social media is key in this goal and we have really focused our efforts to make CHB an interactive brand.” CHB LLC has an active voice on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest. “We really encourage everyone to follow us on these social media sites,” Baker says. “Not only can you engage with the brand, but you can also find tasty recipes, restaurants and stores that sell CHB and support the 7,000 ranching families of the American Hereford Association that work tirelessly to bring a high quality product to your dinner table.” To get involved with CHB on social media, search Certified Hereford Beef on Facebook and Pinterest, @certifiedherefordbeef on Instagram and @crtherefordbeef on Twitter.

Building the Legacy As summer winds down, state fairs begin and school starts; it’s a great time to reflect on what an amazing summer it has been. After a recordbreaking Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Madison, Wis., who couldn’t be excited about the future of this breed. “A Hereford Scene in 2016” was a magnificent event that will be hard to top thanks to the host committee, volunteers, American Hereford Association staff and generous sponsors who make this event possible each year. As families gear up for the JNHE, they spend countless hours in the barn working with their animals in hopes of having a successful show at the JNHE. As a young girl, I had big dreams of being successful in both quality of cattle and showmanship throughout my junior career at such prestigious events such as the JNHE.

As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned the biggest lessons and achievements aren’t always defined by a banner or can be won in the showring. It was through the activities offered at the JNHE and the Faces of Leadership Conference that my life skills and leadership attributes were constructed. By taking advantage of the contests offered at this year’s JNHE, many juniors enhanced their knowledge of public speaking and beef facts and even got the chance to bring out their inner art skills. A few weeks later juniors continued to grow and develop at the Faces of Leadership Conference hosted in Amarillo, Texas. We traveled to a different part of the country and toured some of the most influential operations in the Hereford breed such as Barber Ranch, Pérez Cattle Co. and Copeland & Sons Herefords. We were also given the chance to visit West Texas A&M University and to see its current research in cloned beef cattle carcasses and the breeding of the clones to achieve and breed for progeny that have yield grade 1 carcasses. Not to mention visiting the Palo Duro Canyon and seeing a piece of history coming to life through the TEXAS outdoor musical. We are fortunate to be a part of an association that offers so many opportunities to grow as leaders in this industry. Take advantage of every chance you can. Each year the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) works on putting new ideas in place to make the next JNHE even better than the last one. One of the changes made this year was moving the group classes to earlier in the week in hopes of getting more participation. The state group of five show had a drastic increase in numbers. There were more than 110 head of cattle representing 22 states in the ring at one time. As I stood in the ring waiting for judges Geoff

kscattle@mindspring.com

Andras and Matt Copeland to select a champion group, I recall looking around the ring at the cattle, exhibitors and the audience and getting goose bumps. If you couldn’t be there to see it in person, let me paint a picture because it truly was a sight that will never be forgotten. Cattle entered one by one, lining up side by side in the groups of their respective states. There were three state groups in one horizontal row and about seven or eight vertical columns. There were almost too many cattle to fit in the ring at one time. Imagine 110 head of red and white cattle standing side by side in perfect rows and columns in a large coliseum with the Grammythemed mural in the background. While Geoff and Matt gave a speech before selecting the group from Oklahoma as the champions, I thought “how blessed am I to be standing inside that ring wearing a maroon jacket and having a part in continuing the legacy of the Hereford breed.” Being involved in the Hereford breed isn’t about how many banners are hung around a house or who has the highest selling cattle that year. Being involved in this industry is about the experiences that turn into lifelong lessons and the friends that turn into family. The Hereford industry continues to grow and thrive because of the people involved in it who are all working toward continuing this legacy. I owe my family a great deal of thanks for pushing me to be so highly involved in this program. It is an absolute honor to be serving as the 2016-17 chairman for an association that has truly built me. No matter what side of the country you live on, no matter the quality or size of your operation, we all have the chance to put our stamp on the Hereford breed and its everlasting legacy. I surely hope you’ll join me in doing so. HW Hereford.org

Activities in Abundance for All Fall is here and I’m left wondering “where has the year gone?” I’m sitting catching my breath, as many of you are, from a wonderful summer show season, where numerous new friendships and memories were made. Alas, there is no rest for all the Hereford enthusiasts out there as we unpack the summer show trailer to prep for state sales, bull sales, some fall shows and, of course, the Annual Meeting in Kansas City, Mo. Did you know behind all those Hereford shows, sales, meetings and junior contests there is a team of women that are constantly providing support and numerous hours to ensure these events are a success for our breeders, young and old? Be it at a state level through your local Hereford Women or Poll-ettes or nationally with the National Hereford Women (NHW) organization, you will be hard pressed to find an event that does not utilize the talents and support of these great organizations. Regionally, state affiliates support local scholarships, state queens, breed promotion and hospitality and countless junior contests and activities. The NHW relies on its local affiliates to endorse their state royalty in

Nationally, the NHW supports numerous junior scholarships, speech contests, the Great American Hereford Grill-off, the National Queen Program, the Youth Heifer Award, a recipe website and the Golden Bull Awards just to name a few. The highlight of the NHW activities is undoubtedly the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) show and contests. During this one week, the NHW board of directors worked countless hours coordinating scholarship interviews, contests, hospitality, merchandising and, of course, our annual summer meeting and social event. We were happy to see all Hereford women and enthusiasts who came and visited with us at our booth and joined our support team. The NHW board of directors consists of 12 women representing all regions of the United States. New directors are voted in annually at our fall general membership meeting held in conjunction with the American Royal and the American Hereford Association’s annual meetings. The most anticipated NHW event of the year is held just moments before the

selection of the grand champion bull at the American Royal. It is in this moment we introduce our state queens for the final time on the national stage and crown the new National Hereford Queen for the coming year. We look forward to seeing all of you at this year’s American Royal NHW Social and Annual Meeting. The NHW recipe website rolled out at the 2015 JNHE and is growing daily.

When Less Is More In agriculture, many people are wired to work hard — driven by the mantra that “more is more.” You can get more done, grow your business, make more money. But over-achieving can also come with the price of burnout, as well as detrimental effects to health and family relationships. So it was refreshing to read a column by Clay Mathis, director of the King Ranch Institute for Range Management at Kingsville, Texas. Mathis titled his column “Modeling Balance” and wrote that an aspect between “good” and “excellent” managers is recognizing the importance of maintaining balance between work and family.

“Excellent managers have their lives in balance and they model that balance to those who look to them for leadership.” — Clay Mathis He wrote, “Those that naturally rightly rise to the top of management in the ranching industry are generally the hardworking, intelligent, achievers that clearly show they are interested in the good of the operation. But if they are to be truly excellent managers, they won’t just make the right decision for the business, they will also prioritize their responsibilities well. This goes beyond the responsibilities at the ranch or office. Excellent managers have their lives in balance and they model that balance to those who look to them for leadership.” Mathis pointed out that ranch managers and employees often work 60-70 hours a week at times — that’s just the nature of the farm and ranch business. But he emphasized that sustained

/ September 2016

workloads at that level are not good for the employees or the ranch as a whole — at some point, a less stressful schedule is necessary. To back this up, Mathis shared research from Stanford University that showed employee output declines sharply after a 50-hour workweek and drops so much after 55 hours that someone working 70 hours produces no more output than someone working 55 hours a week. Mathis noted this research clearly indicated that as fatigue increases, so do poor decision making and the occurrence of work accidents — and relationships at work and with family often take the toll. Hence, the need to remember balance. Yes, sometimes when the crop needs planted and the cows need to be bred, you’ll have long days. But find those weeks that allow for balance for yourself and your employees — you might just find, you are actually more productive.

Fewer people better, too This mentality that less is more not only applies to the hours you work but should also be considered for the number of people on a project. If you serve on a committee, you likely know this concept well. Too many people assigned to complete a task often means it takes twice as long to get the task done. Patrick Lencioni, a respected leader in the area of organizational health, addressed this idea in his Inc. magazine column. Lencioni provided an analogy that any farm or ranch family can appreciate: On a family farm, three cousins often enjoyed helping a grandfather with weekend projects. But whenever the three cousins wanted to work together, the grandfather would protest, saying, “One boy is a boy, two boys is half a boy and three boys ain’t no boy at all.”

Lencioni says the lesson is this, “Adding more people to a project does not necessarily make it better. And when it comes to creative problem solving, more people often does just the opposite.” Rather, he advocates, “Throwing lots of people at a project seems smart — but creativity thrives in smaller groups.” Lencioni provided an example from his own company. With a staff of just 10, he felt it was taking the group too long to make decisions, to respond to challenges and to come up with new ideas during meetings, which usually included everyone. His solution was to break the staff into three functional groups: one focused on clients, another on content and another on operations. He says within days they were able to see new ideas develop and problems solved within the specific areas. A farm or ranch could certainly take a similar approach — dividing employees to be responsible for different enterprises or different aspects of the operation: marketing, genetics, production/harvest. Lencioni says not only has the more nimble arrangement for idea generation, problem solving and decision making made them more productive but a happy side effect has been that the company’s passion has been “reignited.” Employees are being allowed to pursue the areas that align with their interests, and they are being allowed to push past the status quo. He adds that smaller groups can establish trusting relationships and they can engage in productive debate, which would require hours by a large group. Lencioni calls it “small group innovation.” He adds, “I’ve seen it again and again in my consulting: Most teams are too large to be innovative.” He believes more than five is probably too many.

Progressing Leaders in the

Texas Panhandle National Junior Hereford Association members gather in Amarillo, Texas, for the annual Faces of Leadership-PRIDE Convention. by Katie Roberti

marillo by morning was the trend for many National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members as they headed south to the Texas Panhandle to attend the seventh-annual Faces of Leadership-PRIDE (Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel) Convention, Aug. 6-9. More than 80 NJHA members ranging from 14 to 21 years old participated in the three-day event focused on leadership. They listened to nationally known speakers, attended workshops and gained beef industry knowledge through ranch and industry tours. Members arrived Saturday morning, and the event officially

started in the afternoon with a series of icebreakers organized by the NJHA board. With youth from 22 different states at the event, these games gave attendees an opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.

Making friends “Participating in the icebreakers has helped me be able to talk to people easier,” says Rylee Barber, Channing, Texas, third-time attendee and NJHA member. “I’m not one of the most outgoing people in the world and getting involved in the icebreakers has been neat in getting to know people.”

In addition to the Junior National Hereford Expo, Faces of Leadership is a unique networking opportunity for juniors to meet other members and active American Hereford Association (AHA) members, as well as to learn more about the beef industry as a whole. “Attending Faces of Leadership I’ve met new people from all across the U.S., but I’ve also gotten to know some of the California people better outside of just showing,” says Wesley Woolery, Hat Creek, Calif. This year’s convention was the second time Woolery has participated in Faces of Leadership. Woolery is an NJHA member and active in the California/Nevada Hereford.org

Junior Hereford Association. He recognizes the state and national connections he has made from the event. “At the Junior National Hereford Expo you’re focusing on your cattle and showing, and you’ll go interact with people but not as much as with Faces of Leadership,” says Woolery. “The convention is really focused on meeting other people and not so much about cattle, so you get to know people better.”

Welcome to West Texas After meeting new people during the icebreakers, the juniors loaded up on the buses and headed to Palo Duro Canyon, where they received a bus tour and a Texas BBQ dinner before watching the TEXAS Outdoor Musical. In addition to the entertainment, lights, fireworks and a water work show, the production focused on the history of the Panhandle and the struggles settlers faced in the 1800s. Chesney Effling, Highmore, S.D., attended Faces of Leadership for the first time this year and says, “I’ve learned a lot about the history of the Panhandle, and I’ve learned things are a little different down here. There are different ways of handling the cattle down here than there are up Wesley Woolery, Hat Creek, Calif., enjoying participating in the icebreakers that kicked off the event.

It’s really opened my eyes to the different parts of this breed and this industry.” Rising early to beat some of the Texas heat before a full day of ranch tours, day two was kicked off by attendees hearing from Stran Smith, defending world tiedown roping champion and his wife, Jennifer, a well-known rodeo commentator. The couple shared their advice for excelling outside the showring and their 10 secrets to success. Following the Smiths’ motivating advice, members partook in a day of tours hosted by the Barber Ranch, Pérez Cattle Co. and Copeland & Sons LLC, all located in the Texas Panhandle and eastern New Mexico. These Hereford operations are well-known for high performance and quality genetics. “I think it’s pretty cool that we’ve got two other families here that are basically neighbors to ours, continued on page 34...

was hosted in the Panhandle of Texas and eastern New Mexico, an area most people don’t often visit. “It really is neat to have you guys get to experience it and for us, it’s an honor as well,” Drew says. Finally, as the sun was just beginning to set, the buses pulled into a pasture so that the passengers could view cattle which were being moved by more than 15 horseback people at Copeland & Sons LLC., Nara Visa, N.M., for the final ranch tour of the day. After examining cattle in the pasture, the group ended the day at the homestead of the ranch. Matt Copeland explained what each animal contributed to the ranch’s operation and the success of the genetics and performance of these cattle as members viewed them. The long day of touring operations and evaluating cattle concluded with the Copeland family providing a fun evening, featuring a chuck wagon dinner along with a cowboy singer for entertainment.

The group learned more about a cloned bull project at The Nance Ranch at West Texas A&M University on one of their stops.

we did there last year during Faces of Leadership,” says Woolery. Juniors spent the final morning at the West Texas A&M University (WTAMU) Nance Ranch and the afternoon on campus at WTAMU, engaging in workshops held by AHA staff members. The group learned more about the agriculture programs WTAMU has to offer its students, and current WTAMU students held a workshop focused on group dynamics. In addition, they learned about a cloned bull project at WTAMU. Advice on how to select a college and a program was also a topic of conversation during the discussion panel featuring a representative from each of the host ranches for the event. Kyle Pérez, Pérez Cattle Co., and Kansas State University alumnus, encouraged members, when considering where to attend college, to look into their hearts and to decide if they want to be in the Hereford breed in the future. “Wherever you choose to go, stay involved, whether it be in leadership, other breed associations, school

activities or the junior board, and when you get out of school to get involved again,” says Pérez. “The more you’re involved, the more your face is out there, the more your boots are pointed forward, the more productive people you are going to be in life.” Participants also saw multiple feedlots in the area and David Baumann, chairman of the Texas Cattle Feeders Association, gave a tour while driving through the Dawn Custom Cattle Feeders feedlot. The group ended the day at the American Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame and Museum. The three days were packed with stops and activities encompassing the theme of this year’s conference “Our Brand Is Beef.” While the knowledge of the beef industry and the miles these juniors gained from attending the conference will continue to help them as they stay involved in the breed, the connections made will be irreplaceable.

Thousands of young cattle enthusiasts have had many of their best memories through involvement in the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA). The NJHA hopes to shape young, responsible leaders, and it has done just that. Many NJHA alumni are in the industry now raising Hereford cattle, taking on impressive careers and even bringing their kids back to the Junior National Hereford Expo every summer. Follow this series to read more about just a few past NJHA members who are making a difference in the industry.

Industry All-Starrs Past junior members make their marks as professionals. by Kayla M. Wilkins

rom outside one could hear Shania Twain tunes echoing loudly from a barn radio. After stepping inside, one would be delighted to have a front seat at a dance party and concert featuring a trio of Starr girls, working their calves, of course. This was a common sight for visitors at the Starr barn in Manawa, Wis., especially during the summertime in preparation

/ September 2016

for junior nationals, which they more affectionately refer to as family vacation. Many years have passed since those days, but the passion for the agriculture industry in Lindsay, Nicole and Danielle has not faded. Lindsay Johnson is married and has two kids and works as the public relations coordinator for Genex Cooperative in Shawano, Wis. Genex Cooperative is a company specializing

in progressive cattle genetics and reproduction, among other things. Nicole and Danielle Starr have both taken on roles in the agriculture-marketing sector, as well. Nicole is an account executive at Bader Rutter in Brookfield, Wis., and Danielle is an account supervisor with Osborn Barr in Kansas City, Mo. Both companies are leading advertising agencies targeting agricultural clients. Hereford.org

The three girls grew up on the family’s small Hereford farm, where they discovered their shared passion for the cattle industry.

The Starr sisters Lindsay recalls her dad commenting on their love for raising cattle and how he always thought it was crazy all three girls shared such a desire to help with the cattle business. She says it was a good thing they did because it was an integral part of their upbringing. “I really do think that it probably has made us closer because we had to work together,” Lindsay explains. “Not one of us could do it by ourselves, so we needed each other.” Although the girls weren’t scared to get their hands dirty in the barn, their dad had to remember they were girls and with that comes entertainment all its own. Danielle recalls a time her overpacking for a junior national left them a comical memory. She remembers a rule her dad implemented about the girls all carrying whatever they packed, but that didn’t faze them, especially her, in terms of how much was acceptable to bring along. Being the style-conscious young lady she is, Danielle had packed every color of boots in her closet in preparation for junior national show day, including a particular pair of purple boots. That year, the junior national show shirts just happened to be yellow with purple writing, a perfect match for Danielle’s boots. “Dad said, ‘Are you kidding me right now? We had no idea what color these shirts were going to be and you just happened to have the same color pair of boots?’” Danielle says. They all say they could go on for days about memories from the National Hereford Junior Association (NJHA) because they not only were heavily involved in contests and showing but gained and grew a lot as individuals. During their early years of involvement, the girls got the Hereford.org

unique opportunity to represent Wisconsin in the team fitting contest at the 2000 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Tulsa, Okla. At the time, Lindsay was the senior member, Nicole was the junior and Danielle was the peewee. Nicole says this experience served as a template for many other things they did as a team both at home and on the show road. “That was a fun thing we got to do together and represent our state,” Nicole recalls, “It was just exciting to do that as a team, each playing a specific role and focusing in on our fitting skills. Team would be a good way to describe us.” Their involvement together in the NJHA did not end there. In the Starr family, showing cattle was a family affair, so when one of them would win, it was a win for them all. In fact, one of Lindsay’s most fond memories in the NJHA was when she and her sisters exhibited the reserve champion cow-calf pair at the 2003 JNHE in Indianapolis. “It was really more like a team event, it wasn’t just because it was my cow that won, but it was something we all worked hard on and could celebrate that win together,” Lindsay explains. It was really a good feeling because you know you worked hard for it, and you don’t ever know if you are going to do well in the showring, but you really had that sense of success afterwards.” Once Lindsay’s involvement in the NJHA came to a close, Nicole and Danielle became even more active by being elected to the junior board. They both recall their experience on the NJHA board as a major milestone in their lives where they grew a lot and learned even more. “During that week of JNHE you work such crazy hours,” Danielle recalls, “but, looking back, you know it was all worth it because of what those experiences meant to you. “It was an incredible responsibility because you knew you had people’s family vacations in your hands so you wanted to make

sure that every single person had the absolute best experience at the Junior National Hereford Expo,” she says. “Today, in my professional career, I see many employers that look for people who have worked in agriculture because we know sometimes you have to work more than eight hours in a day, but it all pays off in the end.” Nicole can agree that time spent on the NJHA board was time well spent. She says along with the excitement of the JNHE and being around the people of the Hereford breed, she was able to grow from a professional development standpoint immensely. “Being able to go up to a complete stranger, introduce yourself and have a conversation continued on page 42...

The Hereford passion goes way back for the Starr sisters. Lindsay is pictured with one of their first Hereford calves.

However, her excitement for a career related to the agriculture industry began well before she even graduated from college. Nicole spent her college years working in the MSU beef center, where she was able to continue showing cattle and only grow her The entire Starr family attended the JNHE in Madison, Wis., this summer.

In addition to her campus job, Nicole spent time interning with the American Hereford Association. These experiences, along with others, aided in paving her path and developing her desire to pursue a career at Bader Rutter, where she fosters relationships with clients and aids them in reaching their marketing goals through strategy, campaigns and marketing plans. “I was attracted to marketing and communications because I wanted to make a difference, and give farmers and ranchers the tools that they need to be successful in their operations,” she explains. “I think the best part is that my professional and personal life are blended.” Although a majority of her job is working with clients, Nicole still has the unique opportunity to advocate for the ag industry in her very own office building every day. Although Bader Rutter has many agriculture clients, not all of the employees are familiar with the industry. Nicole has seen this as an opportunity to reach out and to connect with those individuals about agriculture. She says this has undoubtedly been a very rewarding piece of her job. “This is how my parents raised me and now I am working in an industry that impacted my childhood, basically raised me,” she says, “and I am able to give back.” Although all three girls are working in communications in some way, Nicole’s and Danielle’s roles are similar as Danielle is an account supervisor with Osborn Barr, but her journey is quite different than that of her older sisters. Danielle went to Purdue University, where she pursued a major in retail management with a minor in animal science. She even studied abroad at the London College of Fashion for a summer before completing her degree. She attributes her strong work ethic and networking opportunities she gained during her time in the NJHA to landing her first job in marketing for Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®)LLC. She says that her time working for an Association Hereford.org

that provided her a start as a junior member was a great opportunity to give back. “Once I was off the junior board and worked with CHB I judged one of the contests at junior nationals,” she explains. “It was so cool to come full circle from being there as a child and then being employed by Hereford and judging a contest.” After some time in that job, Danielle moved into her current role with Osborn Barr. “They contacted me to see if I would be interested and it was one of those perfect opportunities that fell into my lap,” she says, “and I have loved every minute of it.” Danielle manages client relations and plays a critical role in the relationship between the agency and client. She assures that all ideas are heard and aids in making sure the final project fits the client’s goals for his or her marketing plan. Just like her sisters, Danielle says that working with individuals who are in the industry that she has such a passion for is extremely rewarding. “My clients are cattlemen but they are also brilliant marketers so in my role, I’m able to work on products and programs that directly tie back to those same producers.” she says, “It’s a privilege to contribute to something that positively affects the industry that has given me so much.”

Today Obviously the desire to invest in the cattle industry has not died with the trio. In fact, they say their time in the NJHA has greatly affected their ability to perform in a professional setting whether it is managing

people or exhibiting a good work ethic or networking skills. Any given weekend in Manawa, one can still see the Starr Hereford operation as a family venture. Every Friday when 5 o’clock rolls around, Nicole is on her way to the family farm to play her part in the success of their herd, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. As a family, they still frequently vacation at cattle shows. Most recently they were all together for a day at the 2016 JNHE. And a new generation has even grown up that shares the same excitement for cattle. Lindsay and her husband, Brad, have a 5-year-old, Isaac, and a 2-year-old, Charlotte. According to Lindsay, Isaac is already rearing to get into the showring. She says he has helped bottle feed a set of twin calves on their place and has high hopes for the two calves. “We have a small local show on Labor Day weekend and they have one of those kids and calves type contests,” Lindsay explains, “and so he is determined that he is taking both of them to that show. I am pretty sure we are committed because he is so determined.” Lindsay is excited her children are growing up around the cattle industry as she and her sisters did, gaining the passion they can all share. “I wouldn’t want it any other way,” she says. “I want my kids to be raised around cattle because that’s how I was raised. There are so many kids who don’t get to experience a calf being born or understand the value of hard work and that is so important to me that our kids experience this first-hand.” The days of these girls singing their hearts out to Shania Twain in the barn together, packing purple boots and winning shows across the country are long gone, but they are still making those memories with family and in their careers. Although they are all on their separate journeys now, Nicole says their motto always holds true. “We are the Starr girls. We can do it. We can do anything.” HW

2016 JNHE Day-by-Day Highlights

‘A Hereford Scene in 2016’ Sets Records T

he stage was set for a blockbuster show in Madison, Wis., July 9-15, for “A Hereford Scene in 2016.” The recordsetting 17th VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) hosted nearly 900 youth from 41 states who came together to not only compete in the showring and contests, but to participate in the ultimate family and youth event gaining new friends and new experiences. Hereford youth exhibited a record-number of 1,547 entries, including 716 polled owned females, 273 horned owned females, 300 bred-and-owned females, 106 bred-and-owned bulls, 43 cow-calf pairs and 109 steers. This year the group classes were judged earlier in the week and saw an increase in participation with 22 states exhibiting 110 head of cattle. Throughout the week, outstanding juniors were awarded nearly $25,000 in scholarships. They were also able to participate in more than 20 contests outside of the showring.

The Wisconsin crew hosted families at A Hereford Scene Block Party which included a brat feed, band and junior mixer. Another fun family activity was the group painting classes. Hereford enthusiasts of all

ages walked away with a one-ofa-kind souvenir — a Hereford painting they created on their own. Numerous youth attended the newcomer orientation. This event allowed new JNHE attendees to meet the National Junior Hereford Association board and learn about all that the JNHE offers. Icebreakers provided an opportunity for them to meet people from different states. The JNHE would not be possible without the incredible support from title sponsor Biozyme Inc., St. Joseph, Mo., as well as a multitude of corporate and breeder sponsors. Thank you to all the sponsors for your continued support of the JNHE. “A Hereford Scene in 2016” rolled out the red carpet for firstclass experiences for the Hereford family.

2016 JNHE Retiring NJHA Board

these four to turn the tables and start making their mark on the NJHA.

Getting elected

Tommie Lynne Mead, 23, is the daughter of Tommy Mead and Cindy Eppich. She is a senior at Georgia Southern University, majoring in business, and hopes to work in agriculture video marketing upon graduation. Now that Tommie Lynne is retiring from the board, she encourages junior members to keep believing in themselves.

For Cody it was a combination of encouragement from a mentor, Sue Rowland, along with the opportunity to observe his peers before him make such a positive mark on the NJHA. He says their stories initially attracted him to the idea and their encouragement reassured him running would be a decision he wouldn’t regret. Taryn says the experience has been one to remember indefinitely. Rewinding to her childhood watching the board members walk through the barns and now seeing where she is brings the idea full circle. “When you were young you looked up to those people and you thought, ‘someday I want to do that and it would be awesome to be in the ring or awesome to be able to do these things,’” Taryn explains. “You get older and you get elected and you think it is a rewarding experience because you looked up to those kids for so long and to know there are people that are looking up to you right now is something that is very humbling.” Growing up and out of the stage of being influenced by the individuals in the maroon jackets, it was time for

/ September 2016

Back in their seats at the awards night in 2013, anxiously waiting to find if they had been elected, Cody says he remembers it like it was yesterday. “Austin Buzanowski had walked all the way up and around, came up behind me and said, ‘congratulations,’” Cody says. “I don’t think I stopped smiling there for six hours. I was just so excited to be able to serve as one of the board members for the Hereford association.” Although each of them has a special memory of the night they received their jackets, Taryn’s was extra special to her. Tamar, Taryn’s older sister was retiring from the board that evening and actually presented Taryn with her jacket, indicating Taryn had been elected for a term as a board director. That year, retiring board members gave their speeches, hugged their families and then handed over their jackets. When Tamar walked away after hugging their parents, Taryn says she just knew that was it and she had fallen short of her goal of being on the board. “It was her one chance to be evil, but it was awesome,” Taryn says. “Running for the board I met a lot of people whether or not the outcome was positive for me, but even if it wouldn’t have been, the experience was well worth it.” Tommie Lynne says her experience running for the board shed light on just how important the association was to her. Every year, Tommie Lynne and her dad haul cattle to national shows and never hire help. With Tommie Lynne running for the board, it was advised they get help, but in honor of tradition, they still didn’t. Unfortunately, Tommie Lynne’s dad tore his ACL and MCL that week, leaving her with four calves, her dad and her board candidate duties to take care of all at the same time. She says what happened next gave her even more confidence that running that year was the right decision. “We had so many people jump in that it was just like, this is it, this is

exactly where I need to be, this is what I want to be doing,” Tommie Lynne says. “I tried to make as many thank you notes for that year as I could, but there is no way else that I could have imagined thanking all the people that helped us during that year than running for the board, getting elected and being able to really give back on that perspective.” Soon after each JNHE, the NJHA hosts the Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention, and a few days before, the new board goes on a retreat, giving them the opportunity to know one another better. Cody and Taryn recall those few days as holding some of their favorite memories. “You are elected with 12 people and you kind of know who they are, but you really don’t,” Taryn explains. “Then after you get elected, we go to PRIDE and we have a board retreat right before and those were the best times because you just hung out with the board.” Cody says getting to better know his fellow board members was great,

Taryn Adcock, 22, is the daughter of Jim and Jan Adcock, Assumption, Ill. Taryn grew up on a small Hereford operation and has been a member of the NJHA and the Illinois Junior Hereford Association for 14 years. Taryn realizes there is a competitive spirit among many junior members, but she urges young people to go beyond the competition and to see opportunity for lifetime memories. Hereford.org

but it was even more to him than that because it was his first PRIDE. Getting to know the membership outside of the show scene was something Cody enjoyed and valued from the trip. PRIDE is traditionally a big event for the NJHA, so one of Amanda’s goals when first finding her place on the board was to actually aid in getting the PRIDE Convention to her state. And she was successful in that endeavor.

Board adventures Being one of the elite few selected by the junior membership to lead them for a full term is quite a feat and these retired board members understand what it means to represent the junior membership. “I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” Taryn notes. “It is very honoring to be able to represent an organization of this size and this caliber.” While on the board, these members were not only dedicated to bettering the NJHA and aiding other junior members in reaching their goals but also got the opportunity to improve themselves and to foster relationships with fellow board members and other junior members. “Some of these girls are my best friends,” Taryn says. “You are with them a long time and one of my favorite parts is starting off kind of knowing each other then you leave being really good friends with a lot of people who are going to be in the breed for the rest of their lives.” As they grew together on their team, Amanda says they were able to most efficiently work together to make the best decisions for the organization. “Even though we are a board of 12 different personalities and characters each person brings about their own attributes or challenges,” Amanda explains. “It has been a unique experience with each and every one of them. Each one has left their own personal mark with their individuality and how they handle things or what they brought to the board and the dynamics change every year just because you bring on four new people and you have to figure out how those Hereford.org

new people work and how they fit in is a unique experience.” Cody says those skills they all gained from working together are qualities they will continue to use for a lifetime. Having a hand in putting together an event like the JNHE is something Cody says can be a challenge, but, nonetheless, it was a valuable time to play off each other’s talents to achieve the best result. “Everyone has a little bit different way of how they do it,” he says, “so being able to collaborate and use their ideas and your ideas to make it run smoothly is definitely everything you’ll need in your career down the road.” Tommie Lynne says planning has been a learning experience in itself and she feels very accomplished looking back at all they’ve done. The team spent countless hours aiding in planning not only the JNHE but also other events and initiatives for the junior membership. Cody says he recognizes the magnitude of these events and the teamwork that goes along with them. He says working through unexpected challenges has helped him in being able to think quickly and to resolve problems in the most efficient way. Along with numerous personal strides made, this group of directors also achieved quite the accomplishment in having an integral part of putting together a record-breaking JNHE in terms of cattle and exhibitors present. “This is the largest Junior National Hereford Expo we have ever had and to be able to be a part of that and not only in cattle, but our numbers grew tremendously from last year in exhibitors, that is something that is to be proud of,” Taryn says.

Looking back As JNHE 2016 came to a close, the members could all agree it isn’t about the blue ribbons or numbers, but it’s about the relationships made. “Going home with a blue ribbon is nice,” Taryn explains, “but going home with more friendships and more relationships is more important.” In reflection, each of the retirees has someone who influenced them to

Amanda Bacon, 22, is the daughter of Craig and Debbie Bacon, Siloam Springs, Ark. A May graduate from OSU in agricultural communications and animal science, she hopes to start her career in the communications sector of an agricultural company. As a now retired board member, Amanda advises the incoming junior board members to voice their opinions and to keep in mind the organization can only get better by collaboration.

be the best they could be in the NJHA and life. They all say those individuals were a major driving force in their aiming to be on the board in the first place. It was more than just showing cattle for these members. “I always say when someone asks, ‘the cattle are good, but the people are better,’” Taryn says. For Cody one of those people was his cousin. Brady Jensen was on the board a year prior to Cody being elected and he says seeing Brady’s experience and then getting the opportunity to share it with him was truly special. “My cousin was the one for me and just to be able to be someone that everyone looks up to in the industry, in the junior industry and in the junior association is truly a gift in itself,” Cody says. Because of those people along the way for each of the retiring members, they all find great joy in influencing all junior members, but especially the younger membership.

September 2016 /

2016 JNHE Retiring NJHA Board

Cody Jensen, 23, is the son of Kirk and Steph Jensen, Courtland, Kan. He is a thirdgeneration Hereford breeder and has been a member of the NJHA and the Kansas Junior Hereford Association for 15 years. He encourages juniors to look past the show ring and to partake in other things the NJHA has to offer.

“My favorite moment is just to see a junior getting involved for the first time,” Amanda says, “really enjoying themselves, making connections and making the friendships that they’ll always come back to each summer just like I did.” Like Amanda, Cody finds much joy in being there for first-year participants. To him meeting a new junior member and seeing the excitement in his or her face never gets old. “Every year you meet a new junior, someone’s first junior nationals,” Cody says. “You don’t realize how much you make an impact on them, but the next year you come back and they are so excited to see you. To make a junior member’s memory like that from only talking to them for five minutes and to impact them that much is truly an awesome experience.” These moments are near and dear to all their hearts. Tommie Lynne recalls one of her most special moments while on the board. At her first junior national after being elected,

/ September 2016

she says she was walking back to the barn after a very long day. She recalls how badly her feet hurt from being on them all day and how mentally and physically exhausted she was. The energy to even smile was almost nonexistent at this point in the day and all she wanted to do was sit down. However, her moment of relaxation was taken away by a group of Alabama juniors — she didn’t mind. After a short visit with one of the youngest members, the boy quickly ran away. Tommie Lynne, puzzled, watched him approach his state advisor, grab something from her and hurry back to Tommie Lynne. She vividly remembers him having her hold out her hand as he placed a pocket angel into it. “He said, ‘this is a pocket angel and I want you to have it. It is always supposed to keep you safe, but you have to keep it with you at all times,’” Tommie Lynne recalls, “I literally just teared up because it was one of those moments where I was exhausted, and this little boy comes up with something like that, that is dear to his heart and he wants to share that with me. Wow.” Aside from the moments of pure exhaustion and other challenges there is always a light at the end of the tunnel that reminded these four why they chose and were fortunate enough to be a part of the board. “You know, a lot of people think that being on the board just requires a lot of responsibility and it does, don’t get me wrong,” Tommie Lynne explains, “but the biggest thing honestly that it has changed is the way I perceive life.”

What’s next? Although the jackets are now with new owners and the retiring addresses have been given, these retirees aren’t done with the Hereford industry. “I am definitely going to stay very active in the association because this is something you have that much of a passion for, you can’t just throw it away once you’re done,” Cody says.

In fact, a recent graduate of Kansas State University, Cody has taken a job with Biozyme VitaFerm, one of the JNHE title sponsors and says he has immensely enjoyed the position thus far and it has been awesome to work for a company which has been a title sponsor for so many years. Amanda, a recent graduate of Oklahoma State University (OSU) with a degree in agricultural communications has a passion for making her mark on not only the beef industry but also the agriculture industry as a whole. “My long-term goal is to connect that ever-growing distance between the farmer and the consumer,” Amanda says. “Just narrow the gap that continues to grow and is going to be harder to narrow as time goes on.” As for Tommie Lynne, she most definitely will not be far from the Hereford scene. Approaching the end of her business degree at Georgia Southern University, she hopes to make her way in the video marketing arena for livestock. Additionally, she looks forward to continuing to be her dad’s right-hand woman on their Hereford operation. She also looks forward to helping potential new junior members in her family. Taryn finished her degree in business with a concentration in marketing from Illinois College in May and now works for the Illinois Beef Association as their director of outreach and promotion in Springfield, Ill. Aside from her full-time career, Taryn can speak for them all when she says she will be around the barns of the JNHE for many years to come. “Herefords are always going to be a part of my life. I hope some day when I have kids we are going to junior nationals because I want my kids to have the same positive experiences that I’ve had,” Taryn says. “It’s expensive and it’s a time commitment, but I want to be able to give that same type of experience to my kids.” HW

2016 JNHE Herdsman of the Year

A Family Tradition

Five generations strong

board, and Austin says it is very special to him to have the unique opportunity to follow in his parents’ footsteps in that way. “I have looked forward to being elected to the board the last 10 or 15 years,” Austin says. “And being able to follow in my mom and dad’s footsteps also being on the junior board was awesome.” Still, becoming a board member wasn’t the only way he followed in his parents’ footsteps. Austin’s dad was actually named the Polled Hereford Herdsman of the Year in 1997. “I was nominated herdsman and I was like, OK, this is awesome,” Austin recalls, “one step closer to getting junior herdsman of the year and then it happened — I was ecstatic.” Beyond sharing this special moment with his dad, Austin says he and his dad spend countless hours together working cattle and he attributes much of his working knowledge of the Hereford industry to his father. “Dad is probably my best friend growing up and he’s my idol,” Austin says. “Most of the things I know are because of him and what he has learned over the years.” Aside from his dad’s major influence on his life, Austin says his grandfathers also played a major role in developing him into the young man he is today. He says they played an integral role in teaching him the qualities it takes to be selected as a herdsman candidate.

The Matheny family has been raising Hereford cattle for the last five generations. It’s clear the desire to better the breed and the Association didn’t skip Austin. “That is why I ran for the junior board,” Austin says, “to be able to help make an impact and help assure the future of the Hereford breed. Then you also get to know more people and expand your Hereford connections.” Like Hereford passion, becoming a board member is also a family tradition for the Mathenys as both of Austin’s parents served on the junior

t the ripe age of 7, he began to notice older members taking charge as board directors for the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA). From that moment, he looked up to those elite members but, as a young boy, didn’t realize he would be stepping into their shoes just a few short years later. The 2016 VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) proved to be a big week for Austin Matheny, Mays Lick, Ky., and his family. While his sister, Taylor Belle Matheny, was assuming her responsibilities as the 2016 National Hereford Queen, he was not only elected to the NJHA board but also named the 2016 Hereford Junior Herdsman of the Year.

/ September 2016

Although a pleasant surprise for Austin, the honor wasn’t a surprise for those who know him well. Kevin Jensen, Courtland, Kan., says Austin has worked for the Jensens at a number of shows and he has had the pleasure of knowing Austin and his family for several years. Jensen says his entire family thinks very highly of Austin and knew he had the characteristics and experience to make him a great candidate for Junior Herdsman of the Year. “I knew he had a legitimate shot because of his demeanor, his experience and his roots,” Jensen explains. “He is very mature for his age. That is the thing that probably stands out the most to me, he knows what needs to be done, when it needs to be done and just having that level of maturity has helped him immensely.”

Hereford.org

“They shaped me to be the individual that I am,” Austin says. “I think that has played a big role in who I have become.” He says, at the end of the day, receiving this honor means more to him than anything else he has ever accomplished. It has also laid the path for a new goal for Austin. “I would almost hold this above winning the heifer show because only one person gets to do it each year and it is a pretty prestigious honor,” Austin explains. “Its not every day you win Junior Herdsman of the Year for the American Hereford Association. There are 900 junior exhibitors at nationals, so I hold this pretty high on my bucket list as things I wanted to accomplish as a junior member and then hopefully one day strive to receive the senior Herdsman award in Denver.”

Road to junior herdsman The road to this stage of the game for Austin wasn’t traveled overnight. This year was his ninth JNHE and he has spent a lifetime raising Hereford cattle. His family currently has between 70 and 75 cows but plans to expand to around 110 this coming spring. Growing the family operation is a long-term goal for Austin upon completion of his degree. However, in the meantime, Austin keeps extremely busy with the NJHA. He has not only participated in several contests at the JNHE in addition to showing but also was selected as the National Merit Scholar last year. As a part of his scholarship, he was given an all-expenses-paid trip to any ranch in the United States. Because of the success he has seen from Colyer Hereford and Angus in Bruneau, Idaho, he knew that was where he wanted to spend his week. His time there was full of new and unique experiences like ultrasounding heifers, participating in their branding, and experiencing the new geography and management techniques specific to the western U.S. “It was pretty eye opening because out there they put a pretty big emphasis on water and in the East we don’t really,” Austin says. “I also got to Hereford.org

see quite a bit of new country. I had never been that far west before, so that was pretty neat.” All the while, Austin says it was rewarding and enjoyable to spend time with the Colyer family and to learn from their operation. He says it is always meaningful to reach out and get the opportunity to foster relationships with individuals in the Hereford industry. “It’s great to have another contact and resource,” Austin explains. “It is just great to know more people and it was great to get to know them better.” In addition to his involvement at the national level, Austin maintains dedication to his state association. He has served as the Kentucky Junior Hereford Association treasurer and was the vice president last year. Austin has a long list of accomplishments and has been presented with much opportunity during his time as a junior. He attributes a lot of his successes to his family and their everlasting support. “Taylor Belle helps out quite a bit because I am usually gone,” he explains. “I will feed in the morning and when she comes to the farm she will get the show heifers in, rinse them and put them in the barn and stuff when I am usually gone doing hay or checking cows, so she plays a pretty big role in making all this happen.” Although Austin and his sister put in many hours on the front end to prepare for JNHE 2016, Austin says there was also plenty to be done once they got to Wisconsin this year with Taylor Belle being the national queen and him running for the board, so he is extremely grateful for his parents’ support, as well. “I would like to thank my dad this week and my mom because without them we wouldn’t have been able to show anything because I was running for the junior board and Taylor Belle was queen,” Austin says. “We were tied up all week, so without them it would’ve been pretty tough.” Overall, the week was a whirlwind, and at the end of it all, Austin says he was just overwhelmed with joy not only from

Austin says upholding an image of a herdsman means to form a positive influence on juniors.

his accomplishment but also from his family being there to see it all play out. “My grandparents were able to come here this year and see me get Herdsman and on the junior board at the same time,” Austin says. “I actually lost my grandfather last fall and without him we wouldn’t be here, so I wish he was here to see me get on the junior board and herdsman. He was a pretty big influence in our life.”

Moving forward For Austin, traveling the road with the NJHA is not nearly over — it is just beginning.

The 2016 JNHE was one to remember for Austin as he was not only chosen junior herdsman but also elected as a new member to the junior board.

2016 JNHE Herdsman of the Year

Herdsman finalists Nick Delaney is the 22-year-old son of Jerry and Shelley Delaney. A native of Lake Bend, Minn., Nick is a senior at South Dakota State University and is pursuing a degree in ag business with a minor in ag marketing and animal science. He is also on the livestock judging team. This is Nick’s twelfth junior national, and he has been showing Hereford cattle his entire life. Upon graduation, he hopes to return to the family farm and to operate J Delaney Herefords with his two brothers, Mike and Marty. He notes having past division winners and being in the top ten in intermediate showmanship as his biggest accomplishments. Alexis Eudy is the 22-year-old daughter of Kim Eudy. A native of Harrisburg, N.C., she is a recent graduate from North Carolina State University, where she obtained a bachelor’s degree in animal science with a minor in ag business. Along with helping her family on their farm, she is looking to pursue a career in sales. Alexis notes one of her proudest moments as being in the top 10 for senior showmanship and winning the junior showmanship one year. She has been an NJHA member for 14 years and has been active in the North Carolina Junior Hereford Association. Alexis was on her state board of directors for seven years and the North Carolina Junior Hereford Association Queen for two years. Steven Green is the 21-year-old son of Don and Carol Green. He is from Munfordville, Ky., and a current NJHA board director. Steven attends Western Kentucky University, where he is majoring in animal science and has plans of pursuing a master’s degree to reach his goal of a career in animal nutrition. Steven has been a member of the NJHA for eight years and has been active in his state association. He has been attending junior nationals since 2010. Steven notes, apart from being elected as a board director at the 2015 JNHE, exhibiting the champion female at the Kentucky State Fair last year was one of his proudest moments. Carter St. John is the 18-year-old son of Kent and Joy St. John. He is from Pell City, Ala., and graduated from Pell City High School in May. Carter has been showing Hereford cattle for 11 years and notes winning reserve intermediate showman at the 2014 junior national as one of his biggest accomplishments. Following high school graduation, he decided to start school in the fall at Jefferson State Community College before transferring to Jacksonville State University and obtaining a business degree. Carter’s long-term goal is to run his own Hereford operation. HW

/ September 2016

“The next three years will be great,” Austin says. “Junior nationals is coming to Louisville next year, so I am excited about that. It’ll only be an hour and a half or two hours for us. It’ll be real nice.” Over the course of the next three years and beyond, Austin says he is looking forward to influencing junior membership across the country and carrying his family’s tradition of positively affecting the Hereford breed. To him that is what being selected Junior Herdsman of the Year is all about. “I want to uphold the image of a herdsman and be a mentor to the younger juniors out in the barn,” Austin explains, “and hopefully encourage them to strive for being a junior herdsman one day. I want to be an image for them to look up to in the barns and just be a role model for work ethic.” Spending time with other Hereford enthusiasts has historically been one of Austin’s favorite things about showing cattle. He says he is not only fostering lifetime friendships but also paving the way for his long-term goal with the Mathenys’ operation. “Walking around and seeing all the people you know and just catching up with them and having a good time is one of my favorite parts,” Austin says. “I look forward to that and I plan to return home one day and expand our operation, so I feel like getting to know more people and have more friends in the Hereford industry is a great asset to have with that goal one day.” The junior at Kansas State University is moving forward with his goal in mind. With a major in animal science with a business option and maintaining involvement with the Association, Austin is on the right track to make his goal a reality. But, for now, he says the excitement of being honored as the 2016 Junior Herdsman of the Year at JNHE just hasn’t worn off. “This is one of the most exciting moments of my life,” Austin says. “It is truly an honor. I am grateful that I was fortunate enough to receive it.” HW Hereford.org

2016 JNHE Senior Showman

Journey to the Top

Setting goals and dreaming big led Melissa Grimmel to be honored as grand champion senior showman. by Julie Mais

fter dressing the hind legs of her Hereford heifer, she peeks over the calf to see nine other showmen putting the finishing touches on their heifers’ toplines and tails. A little uneasy that she may be behind schedule in the fitting portion of the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) senior showmanship final drive, she assures herself that she spent time where needed. After she quickly waters the heifer and backs her out of the chute, the pair joins the other showmen vying for the top spot. Melissa Grimmel, Jarrettsville, Md., then leads her heifer into the next portion of the contest — exhibiting the calf one last time for the showmanship judges. She looks around at her peers, many she would call close friends, and admires their skill and technique and is, most of all, just thankful to be one among them that afternoon. “When the judge walked over to me to shake my hand and give me a hug, the past 12 years flashed before my eyes,” Melissa says. “With my show stick in hand, I remember covering my mouth and thinking, ‘You just won, hold it together, hold it together.’ Well of course I did not hold it together, but a showman’s dream became reality at that point.” That dream, and a common goal for many young Hereford showmen, is to be selected champion senior showman at the JNHE.

A decade-old dream

Melissa Grimmel attended her first Junior National Hereford Expo in 2005 hosted in Milwaukee, Wis.

/ September 2016

Melissa first aspired to this achievement 12 years ago at the 2005 JNHE in Milwaukee, Wis. — her first junior national — but she didn’t begin her show career as a champion showman. Though a fifth-generation grain farmer, Melissa is a first-generation Hereford breeder. Melissa’s father showed some livestock in his younger years, but it was more dairy-focused. Her mother is a city girl and now a nurse. The five Grimmel sisters’ interest in Hereford cattle is organic, not inherited. Melissa’s three older sisters began showing Herefords on the county and state levels with Melissa helping

to wash and brush when she could. “I was brought up into the Hereford breed through them,” Melissa says. “My parents have a very busy schedule so you’ll rarely see them at a national show with me. It’s always my sisters and my brother-in-law with me. It’s cool having siblings travel around with me, and it’s what makes us different. That’s where Grimmel Girls Show Cattle began.” After a few county and state fairs, Melissa and her oldest sister, Michelle, who attends every show with Melissa, decided to try a junior national. They took one heifer to Milwaukee, and their goal was simple — to not stand last in class. Melissa laughs, “I think I got second to last in class and we were so happy. It was so much fun having the Maryland crew take us under their wing and for me and my sister to see what it was like to show outside our county and state. Michelle and I decided we had to keep on going.” And so they did.

Reaching goals Setting small, attainable goals, and a lot of hard work, is what Melissa says brought her to the top this year. When reflecting on her first years showing Herefords, Melissa says, “We thought we were working hard then, but I look back and kind of chuckle. We have learned so much. Most nights we don’t even eat dinner and if we do, it’s at 10 p.m.” After Melissa got a few JNHEs under her belt, she placed in the middle of her class one year. “Then I placed in the upper half and then I won my class,” she says. “My goal each year is to solely win my class. Even if I’m in the top half I’m happy. The best cattle in the country are there. You have to set goals that are within reach. Small goals will later set the path to bigger goals. So looking back, that’s exactly what we did.” When Melissa was interested in showing at the National Western Stock Show, she and Michelle traveled to Denver to watch the show for a few years before the opportunity presented itself for them to exhibit. “We got third in class our first year exhibiting and were thrilled. The next year we won our class and we were like ‘wow!’ And Hereford.org

In the fitting portion of the senior showmanship finals, Melissa Grimmel follows her game plan and dresses the back legs first.

then last year we won Grand Champion Polled Heifer. I’m really glad I was brought up that way — it makes me appreciate every success.” Melissa says she’s a firm believer in the saying, “Dreams do not work unless you do.” She says she’s been fortunate that while in college at Kansas State University (K-State), she’s had internships that allowed her to work from home in the summer so she can work on her cattle. She doesn’t skip a day, and if she has to miss, she makes sure someone can fill her place. “Putting in the time will pay off,” Melissa says. “It may not at every show, but it will eventually whether that’s in class or showmanship. You have to put in those hours, keep working hard and keep pushing yourself.” The showmanship contest has always been a favorite for Melissa, and the hard work over the years paid off for at her final JNHE. “Showmanship has always been my thing, especially when we first started showing,” she says. “We didn’t always have the best cattle, and so we couldn’t count on doing that great in the heifer show. But showmanship is all you — whether the judge likes your style or not. I had a better chance doing well in showmanship than the heifer show.” However, her favorite thing is presenting the calves’ best attributes while masking their weaknesses. “I love that challenge and not everyone can accomplish it,” she says.

Melissa Grimmel says her favorite part about showmanship is the challenge of presenting her calf’s best attributes.

remembers walking into the showring following the fitting portion — her heart was racing in her chest. “After that it’s kind of a blur because I was so nervous. You spend all those hours and now you want to give it your all but it’s out of your hands. Before going in my sister was telling me to put my shoulders down, relax — ‘you’ve done this a hundred times.’” As the judge went down the line placing the senior showman starting from 10th, Melissa, though nervous, says she was at peace regardless of the outcome. “It’s a huge honor in itself to make it to the top 10,” she says. “I was lucky to be in that spot because not everyone gets that chance.” It was down to the top two, and Melissa took a chance to look behind

her to see fellow showman Taryn Adcock. “I’ve shown with her all these years and it seems like we’ve always been in the same heat,” she says. “I honestly couldn’t think of a better person to get into the top two with and being able to share that moment with.”

Backed by family Melissa attributes her success to her support team — her family. She says her brother-in-law, Jacob, who is married to Michelle, has taught her tremendously and made it possible for her to pursue a degree at K-State and to remain involved with the operation back in Maryland. “He does things the right way,” she says. “Our motto is ‘we don’t do things the easy way, we do it the right

way.’ When I think I’m putting out my greatest effort in the barn, he’s still pushing me to be better. He’s so knowledgeable, he includes me in important decisions and I think we’re a great team. I hope to be half the stockman he is one day. I’ve learned a lot from him.” Melissa is grateful for her “show mom” and oldest sister, Michelle, who has traveled across the country with her attending shows. “She has made a lot of sacrifices for us and puts in many hours for this lifestyle,” Melissa says. “She’s always making sure entries are sent on time, and we aren’t late for our class. She’s truly my best friend and my backbone.” Though they cannot attend many of the shows, Melissa appreciates her parents for their love and support. “They’re always just a phone call away and I know I have them there no matter what. They are there by watching the show online and without them we wouldn’t be able to do this crazy thing we call showing cattle.” She also acknowledges her other sisters and nieces, thanking them for their support throughout the years.

Future with Hereford Melissa may have wrapped up her JNHE career, but Herefords are still in her future. Grimmel Girls Show Cattle has around 40 cows and is utilizing embryo transfer (ET) to multiply the operation’s genetics and to enhance quality. This October will be a milestone for the sisters because they are hosting

their first online sale. “We used to hope to just win our class at county fair and then just being able to work up to almost the top within the first generation of breeders is awesome to us. We’re really excited to offer our calves to juniors so we can continue the tradition.” Junior programs are not in her rearview mirror. “I was one of them. I always had questions and was watching older juniors and wondering what to do better, how to show better and how to make my calves look better. I’m always willing to answer questions because it takes a lot of courage for kids to ask a question. I want to return the favor and help younger members.” In addition to her showmanship honors, Melissa notes another achievement at her final JNHE — exhibiting the grand champion cowcalf pair, which first won champion bred-and-owned. “I also won the pair show in 2014,” she says, explaining another proud piece to the puzzle. “The calf that was in the 2014 champion pair, was the cow that won this year. We also took seven head total with five having the Grimmel Girls prefix. Being able to exhibit that many head that we bred and raised was very cool because it’s all on you — you make the breeding decisions, you calve them out, you raise them, you treat them, you keep them safe and you get them ready, so to have that many there made me so proud.” Melissa, a recent graduate of K-State, is currently living in eastern Colorado and will soon be getting

married. She and her fiancé, Shane Schaake, have full intensions of remaining Hereford cattlemen. “Shane and his family raise Simmentals, but he is extremely willing to incorporate my love for Herefords into their program.” “Looking back at the past champion showmen is incredible,” Melissa reflects. “Most of those individuals are today’s industry leaders, and to be at the level they once were is indescribable. I am thankful for the amount of advice and support I have received along the way from fellow breeders. I want to thank them for believing in me and for taking the time to help me be a better person, a better showman and a better Hereford cattlewoman.” HW

A champion’s advice Grand champion showman Melissa Grimmel gives a few tips for Hereford youth. Stay humble no matter what. “Even if you reach those top goals, stay humble and remember where you came from.” Keep learning. “Watch older, more experienced exhibitors. Look for ways to better yourself and ask questions of the people you look up to.” Turn disappointments into something positive. “Things seem impossible until they become reality. Learn from failures and when you reach a goal, make another goal. Build them on top of each other.” Make sacrifices. “Put forth your best effort and make those sacrifices. It may not be easiest but it’s needed to reach a dream.”

2016 JNHE Advisor of the Year

More Than an Advisor BJ Jones was honored in his home state as Advisor of the Year. by Kayla M. Wilkins

hose in attendance at the 2016 VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Madison, Wis., noticed a gentleman around the barns, most typically with a radio in one hand, a cell phone in the other and a friendly smile on his face. He served as the co-chair in planning the JNHE and was the familiar face exhibitors and their families could turn to with problems over the course of the week. Although his part in planning this record-breaking event was quite challenging at times, he says he wouldn’t have traded it. However, bending over backward to help junior membership reach their goals is nothing new for the 2016 Advisor of the Year, BJ Jones, DVM, Darlington, Wis.

From humble beginnings Jones got his start in the Hereford business a bit differently than most. He was born in West Allis, Wis., a suburb of Milwaukee, and didn’t move onto the family farm until he was 8 years old. He says his family had little to no working knowledge about raising cattle, but they bought their first Herefords

/ September 2016

in the 1980s and started to make their way into the beef industry. It wasn’t long before Jones discovered what would turn into his lifelong passion for the Hereford industry. After attending his first junior national, he says he never looked back. For Jones it was all about expanding his knowledge of the industry and building relationships with other juniors. “We didn’t do it to win a class, we did it because we had fun,” he says. “We really had fun going and learning about the beef industry and Herefords.” Years later, he still carried the rich desire to continue learning and to be very active in the cattle industry. As a result, he spent several years furthering his education to become a large animal veterinarian. In the meantime, Jones started his own family. With his wife, six kids and a pasture full of Herefords — he couldn’t be more content. “It gets in your blood,” he says. “I sometimes think it is crazy because I work with cattle all day, but it still warms your heart when you go home and see some nice looking cows out in the pasture on green grass.” Because of Jones’ start in the Hereford business, he always had a desire to give back to the youth and inspire young people to take full advantage of all the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and the Wisconsin Junior Hereford Association (WJHA) had to offer. It was no surprise when the opportunity rolled around in 2006 to co-advise the WJHA that Jones jumped in full force. “We just enjoy working with kids and I want kids to do things the right way,” Jones expresses. “We want everyone to have a good time and feel the same way about Herefords as we feel.”

Focused on the youth Since 2006 Jones has moved from co-advisor to the single advisor for WJHA. He enjoys the opportunity to encourage youth to be involved in the association and has never lost his desire to help others no matter what it takes. In fact, Sondra Brancel, Endeavor, Wis., recalls an instance a number of years ago when Jones stepped in to help a young man whose father was

serving in Afghanistan. The member was preparing for his county fair, and she says Jones did everything in his power to assure the boy’s success. Brancel says that instance serves as a mold for Jones with all youth he encounters, and current junior members can attest to it. Annah Dobson, the current WJHA Queen, says she experienced Jones’ encouragement firsthand at her first JNHE in 2015. She says it wasn’t until then that she realized the devotion it takes to be the type of advisor Jones is. “Even when his own family was showing, BJ would be down the aisle helping myself, or another first year member with any problem we were having,” she says. “His dedication to helping us and making sure we enjoyed our experiences is something I wouldn’t have expected from such a busy man, but there he was lending a helping hand in the chaos.” Jones says he is very passionate about being an advisor, and one of his main focuses has always been to inspire young members to be involved. According to Briana Katzenberger, the current WJHA president, Jones has been successful in that and so much more. She says in her position as the WJHA president and state director four years prior, she has the opportunity to work alongside Jones and to be the product of what his type of encouragement can do for a junior. His support and endless encouragement has influenced her and her peers to do their best at all times to better not only their organization but themselves, as well. “BJ always supports me, my decisions and ideas, and he discovers ways to help me succeed in my position,” Katzenberger says. “In addition, BJ encourages my growth in the Hereford industry. His resourcefulness makes for a reliable and knowledgeable leader, friend, and father. He consistently uses our creativity as a junior association to develop beneficial and useful suggestions instead of turning our ideas away, and pushes us to do our best.” Along with being such an integral part of WJHA, comes the opportunity to see juniors flourish from their youth Hereford.org

ick and Austin Deppe, Maquoketa, Iowa, showed the grand champion steer and Holly Shelton, Frederick, Md., exhibited the reserve grand champion steer at the 2016 VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Madison, Wis., July 13. The steer show was sponsored by American Wood Fibers, Schofield, Wis. Judge Tyler Winegardner, Lima, Ohio, sorted 109 steers to find the winner and said, “This has been a tremendous steer show.” Deppe’s grand champion steer, DEP Generation X 9070 ET, weighed in at

1,340 lb. for a WDA of 2.77, and is a son of DEP Generation X 122 ET. Shelton’s reserve grand champion steer, Megan Kingsley 23X 0921, weighed in at 1,170 lb. for a WDA of 2.82, and is a son of Purple Rollin Stone 15W ET. At check-in, ultrasound data was collected on the progress steers, including ribeye area, backfat thickness and marbling score, and a yield grade and carcass weight were estimated. Based on that data, Jacob Bohnsack, Taylor Ridge, Ill., earned champion carcass steer honors with his 1,140-lb. steer by Purple Reuben James 40A ET.

Grimmel, Korniak Win Cow-Calf Show

elissa Grimmel, Jarrettsville, Md., won the grand champion cowcalf pair at the 17th annual VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo in Madison, Wis., July 14.

2016 JNHE Team Fitting

Illinois Takes Team Fitting Title

eams from state associations of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) demonstrated their fitting skills during the 17th Annual VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo in Madison, Wis., July 11, competing in the Sullivan Supply and Stock Show University Team Fitting Contest. Illinois took top honors with team members Lucas Stumpf, Columbia; Lauren McMillan, Tiskilwa; and Kesler Collins, Flanagan. The objective of the team fitting contest is to encourage team participation for the preparation of an animal for the showring. In this competition, a team of three has 45

minutes to fit a heifer for a panel of judges. One member of the team then shows the heifer. Judging for the team fitting contest was the 2016 American Hereford Association Hereford Herdsmen of the Year, Geoff Andras, Okmulgee, Okla., and his colleague Matt Copeland, Nara Visa, N.M. When it comes down to fitting, everyone has their personal preference in how they want things done,” Andras says. “The way I learned was to pick out a few guys in the barn that I liked how they did things and I studied how they fit. Just watch and learn.”

Copeland adds, “It takes a lot to come out here. Geoff and I are proud of all the kids who came out to do this. It’s really nice to see the Hereford breed have this many exhibitors in team fitting.” Indiana came in second place in the fitting competition with team members: Samuel Lawrence, Avilla; Luke Dixon, Rensselaer; and Audrey Korniak, Rensselaer. The third place title went to the Wisconsin team consisting of Lauren May, Mineral Point; Clayton Walsh, Lyndon Station; and Madison Kegley, Burlington. HW

2016 JNHE Volunteers

Behind the Scenes at ‘A Hereford Scene in 2016’ More than 120 volunteers were instrumental in the success of the Junior National Hereford Expo this year. by Kayla M. Wilkins

he 2016 VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) was one for the record books. Exhibitors from near and far loaded up their cattle and chased the white lines to Madison, Wis., in July to not only show their cattle but also to participate in a variety of contests and events. Because of the enthusiasm of junior members and their

families this year, the 2016 JNHE was record-breaking with more than 900 exhibitors in attendance. Junior members had the opportunity to show off their skills in an array of contests to let their projects shine in the showring and, most importantly, to foster lifelong relationships with other cattle kids. Although the show seemed to go off without a hitch from an outsider’s perspective, there

More than 120 Hereford enthusiasts and agriculturists came from across the state to volunteer their time at the 2016 VitaFerm Junior National Hereford Expo.

Sondra Brancel says there is no way to fully thank all the volunteers for the huge part they had in assuring the success of the JNHE in Madison, Wis.

was plenty of work done on the front end and behind the scenes to make the experience exceed expectations the show chairmen, BJ Jones, Darlington, Wis., and Sondra Brancel, Endeavor, Wis., had set. In addition to American Hereford Association (AHA) staff, National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board members and Wisconsin Junior Hereford Association (WJHA) leadership, more than 120 volunteers flooded into Madison, and Brancel says the show couldn’t have happened without them. “People give BJ and I all the credit,” Brancel says, “but I just turn it back around to the volunteers because people would not be as pleased with this show if it weren’t for the support of all of the awesome people in our state — Hereford breeders and people in the ag industry.”

Meeting a need Three years ago when the idea was first tossed around by the WJHA to host the JNHE, Brancel says they didn’t even have to ask for volunteers because they immediately had dedicated families eager to lend a helping hand anywhere necessary. Because the JNHE is such a big event, it took Brancel some time to collaborate with previous hosts to identify the needs so she could most strategically place individuals in the right areas to assure the show would run smoothly. Once a plan was in place for all the moving parts of the JNHE, it wasn’t long before Brancel and Jones called on those families to serve as leadership for the volunteer committees. “It was the people you didn’t have to ask to help,” Brancel says. “They just wanted to and that was really important to us.” Once those executive committees were formed, each committee was soon overwhelmed with volunteers ready to do everything from checking in cattle and putting down bedding to working the ring Hereford.org

JNHE attendees were welcomed to Wisconsin at the Block Party Sunday evening where they enjoyed brats, live music and a junior mixer.

and everything in between. To put into perspective just how integral volunteers were this year, Brancel says nearly every piece of the JNHE had a volunteer involved at one point or another. She explains that before the show started, they had enough volunteers to fill every job they predicted they might need, but little did she know more would show up just in the nick of time to work on the unexpected projects they hadn’t foreseen. “The number of 120 is light to be realistic,” she explains. “It’s probably 20 to 25 people at least beyond that, in addition to all the families that have just said they wanted to help while they were there. There has been so many unexpected and unforeseen responsibilities that people have just jumped in. There is no belly-aching, they are just willing to do it.” Because of the magnitude of this event, Brancel says it was a true blessing to have so many people come out to help and go above and beyond, in some cases. “People just jumped in,” she says. “They were scheduled until 8 p.m. and ended up staying until 10 p.m. All of that is really humbling; just to have all the support that we have had here from our state.” At the conclusion of the show, Brancel reflected and could only

be overjoyed by the hard work and dedication brought forth by so many people in their home state to make their vision a reality. “We are just so proud to be from Wisconsin,” she explains. “The people here that are wearing those yellow shirts really exemplify what makes us so proud.”

Behind the scene Among the many playing a part in the show’s success were two men continued on page 104...

2016 JNHE Volunteers

Volunteers played an integral part in the success of the JNHE from checking in to packing up and everything in between.

who can speak for them all when they say it was a true blessing to lend a helping hand. Mark Ireland, Watertown, Wis., was one of the many individuals aiding exhibitors and their families during check-in and worked every day for long hours at the ring after that. Ireland is no stranger to the cattle industry as he grew up on a dairy farm and then found his career with ABS as a cattle breeder for 40 years. During his time there, he first found his desire and passion for the people of the cattle industry. “Cow people are the best,” he says. “All breeds, all cattle, from 4-H to FFA, it is a pleasure to be around the youth of America and where they are headed.” Just as the cattle industry is nothing new for him, neither is volunteering. Since he is retired now, he has plenty of time on his hands and says he spends much of that time volunteering in a variety of places. In fact, when he was done helping with the JNHE one evening, he went straight to the local food pantry and had a hand in feeding more than 300 people. For Ireland, volunteering is always a very rewarding experience, and he immensely enjoys the opportunity to be involved, especially when involvement includes the youth of the ag industry.

“I just feel good about doing it,” he explains. “It is pretty simple. I am going home tired and happy. In life that is pretty important. That is as good as it gets. This was very rewarding to be around the kids, the families, the cows and the cow people.” After this experience, among others, Ireland says while some may question the future of tomorrow, he feels pretty confident. “The thing people say is, ‘kids now a days,’” he says. “They aren’t around the kids I know. I know farm kids and our future is in good hands, really good hands.” It is because of the potential he sees in the youth that he enjoys working as hard as he can to assure the success of events like the JNHE. “I really enjoyed being around the youth,” he says. “I am a grandfather now and if we don’t help our youth, what use are we? They are our future.” Fellow volunteer, Dan Irwin, Stockton, Ill., would agree the youth are the reason behind so many coming together for an event of this magnitude. He says along with the influence they can have on volunteers, it is also a time to strengthen ties within the Hereford industry. “That’s why we do this. Because you get to renew friendships that you knew over the years,” he says. “You come here and meet new people and be friends.” Irwin is the vice president of the Wisconsin Hereford Association (WHA) and says he can recall when Jones first presented the possibility of the JNHE in Madison, Wis. “We jumped on board with it,” he says, “Just to see it develop and grow through the two years is neat to be a part of.” Although Irwin signed up just to spread bedding, he says he soon found himself involved much more extensively. In fact, because of the challenge presented with the shavings in the ring being too soft,

Irwin willingly drove two hours home to haul back his tractor and lawn roller to help in overcoming the problem. Along with his assistance there, Irwin spent long hours working the ring with Ireland, too. He says even with the long hours it was an experience he wouldn’t trade. To him it was honoring and humbling to be a part of such a large-scale event promoting youth involvement in the cattle industry and beyond that, his opportunity to give back. Three years ago, Irwin went through a very trying time with the loss of his girlfriend and says the support of the people within the industry really played a big part in keeping him going. Still, today, he experiences the genuine loving spirit of people within the Hereford family. “There was a man at the show that came up and made a point to ask me how I had been doing since that time. That just shows how much people care and that’s what volunteering is about,” he expresses. “It’s about giving back to the people that care so much about you.” The idea of giving back and caring is nothing new for those in the Hereford industry. Each year volunteers flood in to make each JNHE the absolute best it can be for the youth and families involved. Brancel says the quality of Hereford people is simply second to none in her eyes. “I have grown up my entire life with Hereford cattle and there is one thing that doesn’t seem to change much and that is how awesome Hereford people are. And Hereford people in Wisconsin are certainly no exception,” Brancel says. “Our Hereford family and our own families in the barn have been willing to help mean the world to us. They have just never let us down. There are not words to express how thankful we are.” HW

2016 JNHE Photo Contest

Perfect lighting. Unique angle. Unmatched quality. National Junior Hereford Association members compete in photo contest. Among other considerations, these are thoughts racing through a photographer’s mind when aiming to capture the perfect shot. It is more than simply pointing and shooting when it comes to standout photography and junior members have taken notice. The National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and the Hereford World (HW) sponsor an annual contest for junior members with photography interest. This year, the contest had 169 entries in four age divisions and three categories — Hereford cattle, people and enhanced.

The talent put forth from peewees to seniors overwhelmed this year’s judges. They expressed their excitement, positive comments and encouraged more senior members to compete in the coming years. Cumulatively the judges were impressed with the talent present and hard work exhibited by all participants. However, they offered a few words of advice to the up-and-coming photographers.

• For the enhanced division, we

ask for some of the junior and intermediates to continue their

hard work, but make sure that cattle are still in a natural color and not a different color red.

• For seniors, we loved all the high

quality photos with great amount of detail work; the competition for that age group was very tough for us.

• Finding the right angle and focus

was very important in our decision for the winners and having a unique image to catch the eye is very helpful when entering a contest like this. HW

Tips from the pros There are many talented photographers within the livestock industry. They can be found in the showring, at the backdrop, in barns and on a ranch any given time capturing moments that will last a lifetime. These individuals have made a career in this business and have a few tips for those just starting their photography business or simply trying to improve their photography for contest or a hobby. HW “Don’t be afraid of doing something different or out of the box — be creative with your subject.” “Look for a different angle or way to take your picture that will be unique and stand out.” “Getting good pictures takes a lot of time, practice and being willing to learn and grow. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from those with experience.” — Katina Costerisan, Show Photo by Katina “Be patient and always stay calm. That is big because cattle do sense when you are uptight.” “Give yourself adequate space and time when going out for a shoot.” “When picturing cattle it is a must to get good ear. Making sure that is taken care of is a very important part of getting a good photo.” — Darla Aegerter, The Show Circuit

“Always be aware of everything that’s around you. From animals and people in the background to the loose heifer coming up behind you. It’s easy to get focused on the image you are shooting, but the context of the image is important, as well.” “Lighting can be tricky when it comes to shooting livestock. In the ring you are generally subject to fluorescent lights. Most cameras have settings that will help your white balance automatically. Barns tend to be dark, so a high ISO and a low aperture will usually do the trick. Outdoor shooting, you want to make sure you have direct light broadside for sale images. That can be mid-afternoon or mid-morning depending on the time of year.” “Shoot what you love. Shoot what you are passionate about. In the end you can never go wrong with that. Always work toward improving your technical skills. It will help you communicate through images what your true vision is.” — Heidi Anderson, Legacy Livestock Imaging

Frank Garry, a veterinarian and coordinator for Colorado State University’s Integrated Livestock Management, says the first three to seven days of a newborn calf’s life is most critical.

Critical Calf Care You know colostrum is important, but what else can be done to help newborn calf survival? by Kindra Gordon

roducers recognize that losing a newborn calf is costly. But just how costly? Frank Garry, a veterinarian and coordinator for Colorado State University’s Integrated Livestock Management, offers this estimate: For every calf that dies that would have been sold at 550 lb., you would need to increase weaning weight of the next 11 calves by 50 lb. each to make up the income loss difference. With that perspective, employing strategies to increase calf survival is of utmost importance. And Garry advises that focusing on the first three to seven days of a newborn calf’s life is most critical. He shares that 5 to 8% of beef calf death loss occurs between delivery and weaning time. And of that 5 to 8% loss, 50% of newborn calves die within the first 24 hours of life, 70% by day three and 75% within the first week.

154

/ September 2016

Garry explains that the reason for these high mortality statistics is that the transition from the “swimming pool environment” of the uterus to the outside world is a tremendous physiological transition. He states, “To adapt to life outside the uterus every single organ must change — some immediately at birth and some within the first three days. And this transition is not always successful.” Specifically, Garry notes that organ system changes that must occur include respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, fluid balance, thermoregulation, musculoskeletal and neurologic. Garry adds, “It’s a radical transition. The calf’s system has to change right now, and if it doesn’t do that, the calf is dead.” As an example, Garry points to thermoregulation — in the uterus the calf is in a nice thermal

environment at 102 degrees Fahrenheit or higher — when it’s born all of a sudden it is exposed to the environment and needs to try to maintain its body temperature. Taking its first breath of oxygen to initiate blood oxygenation is another example. “The calf has never done this before. Very little blood flows through the lungs while the fetus is in the uterus. So when a calf is born, it has to take a couple of big breaths to get lots of blood to the lungs and to get oxygen delivery to the system. Physical and muscular activity are a big part of this. The calf needs to be able to be strong and active to start this process,” Garry explains. With an understanding of all these organ system changes occurring in the newborn calf, Garry says producers can be better equipped to provide neonatal calf assistance to improve survival. In fact, he suggests nursing care must be a producer’s “number one attack plan for weak calves” and suggests the following strategies (see “Three important steps” on next page) are as important — and possibly more important in the critical first hours — than colostrum’s immunity boost. Garry says, “Immunoglobulins are important in the long run. But in the first three days of life, the calf first needs warmth, nutrition and fluid and those are critical things that colostrum provides.”

Which calves need help? Most often calves need extra assistance when they’ve experienced calving difficulty or dystocia, notes Garry. Additionally premature birth, illness in the dam or in utero problems can produce weak calves that require extra assistance. All of these instances can cause what Garry calls a “vicious cycle of bad things happening” for the newborn calf. These include decreased activity, lethargy, low blood oxygen, low body temperature and delayed intake of colostrum — which in turn causes decreased energy/nutrient intake, decreased fluid volume, decreased immunoglobulin consumption and decreased disease resistance. Hereford.org

Three important steps When a newborn calf does need help, Garry says there are three important steps to follow:

stimulate and enhance respiration for the calf maintain body temperature of the calf

2 3

increase blood volume and provide energy to the calf.

For step one, enhancing respiration, Garry advises placing the calf in sternal recumbency. This means positioning the calf with its back legs forward so it can lie on its chest to keep the lungs vertical. “This position helps them breathe — and also pesters them to get them alert,” explains Garry. Once calves are in that position, remove any mucus from their airway in the nostrils by positioning their head downward briefly and using a straw or tube to stimulate their airway and make them breathe. Also provide vigorous rubbing on chest to help dry their hair and to stimulate their internal organs. In some situations, additional oxygen may need to be administered with tubing put into the calf’s nose or through use of a resuscitation face mask that fits over the nose. Garry cautions about placing any tubing Hereford.org

too far down into the esophagus or stomach. If administering oxygen, a flow rate of 2-4L/min. should be used. To achieve the second step of maintaining body temperature, Garry points out that it is important to understand that newborns generate heat three ways: through physical activity, through shivering, and from brown fat, which they are born with. Garry reports that shivering of skin and skeletal muscle increases heat production by 33-100%. As well, physical activity, such as the calf trying to stand, increases heat production by 33-100%. “In the first 10 minutes of standing, a calf increases heat production by 100%. Calves that do not try to stand get very cold, very fast,” Garry says. Garry notes that calves lose heat as soon as they are born via evaporation. To reduce this heat loss, it is important to get newborns which aren’t trying to stand on their own dry as quickly as possible — rubbing them to get them dry also helps to stimulate respiration Garry advises if a calf’s temperature is 100 degrees F or less, a supplemental heat source or warm shelter should be provided. He reports that research has shown that using an infrared heater for 24 hours postpartum provided

significant improvement to rectal temperature, dynamic lung compliance and respiratory rate of newborn calves. Supplemental heat sources such as heaters, hot water bottles, a warming hut or calf jacket/blankets, as well as providing straw or other bedding and reducing exposure to wind, are all beneficial strategies. The third step of increasing blood volume and providing energy to the calf means ensuring the calf receives colostrum. Garry notes that most people think about supplying colostrum to provide the immunity protection from immunoglobulins. But he emphasizes that colostrum is important for additional reasons – providing energy, protein, vitamins and minerals to give the calf energy for activity. As well, the fluids and warmth from the colostrum aid the calf’s bodily functions of blood volume expansion, energy metabolism and respiratory ventilation. Garry concludes by emphasizing that newborn calf care requires vigilance. When producers recognize that a calf needs assistance, these steps may help increase the calf’s chance of survival and the producer’s opportunity for profit. HW

Checklist of healthy newborn calves If newborn calves have the following experiences, they have a good chance of survival: • uncomplicated vaginal delivery

• standing within one

• good mothering • body temperature

• active suckling

• attentive, responsive

hour after birth

maintained at 101-102° F within two hours and active behavior Colorado State University’s Frank Garry notes that the role of the dam in postnatal survival should include mothering and neonatal bonding. He explains, “Good mothering means the cow pushes the calf around, licks it, dries it, and makes it respond. Cows often lick the calf around the tail head and the calf puts its tongue out indicating it’s ready to stand and nurse.” Garry adds that heifers are commonly not as good at mothering, and he adds, “If she doesn’t do that — it’s your job.” HW

Garry reports that studies have been done to assess newborn calf vigor. The signs to look for include the calf lifting its head up, exhibiting sternal recumbence (lying upright on the chest), attempting to stand and standing. The newborn should be doing these things at 3, 5, 20 and 60 minutes respectively, according to Garry. He adds, “Monitor all of those signs. If it takes 15 minutes or longer for the newborn to get to sternal recumbence studies have shown it equals an 84% prediction of non-vitality.” Based on those indicators, Garry says, “If the calf is slow to adapt, take its body temperature. The body temperature should not drop below 101 degrees F. If it is below that, the calf needs your help.”

In Passing Darrell Earl Sutor, 95, of Plainville, Kan., passed away July 13. Darrell’s father purchased the Sutor Darrell Sutor brother’s main ranch headquarters in 1938, and the family moved to the ranch and created Sutor Hereford Farms. In 1943 Darrell married Joy Jennings. Ranching was their life and their operation continued to expand. As newlyweds Darrell and Joy went by boxcar to Bellville, Kan., to the Republic County Fair with the show cattle. The Sutors showed the 1966 champion Hereford bull, SHF True Onward 44, in the newly built Houston Astrodome. Darrell was a lifetime member of the American Hereford Association, the Kansas Hereford Association (KHA) and the Kansas Livestock Association, even serving as president of the KHA in 1963.

Darrell is survived by three daughters, Linda Sutor, Darla Moore and Lorna Pelton; grandchildren, Jessica Hall, Heather Renier, Dana Pieper, Kevin Moore, Shellie Collins and Chan Pelton; 12 great-grandchildren; one great-greatgrandson; and one sister-in-law. Robert (Bob) Henry Gordon, 83, of Boissevain, Manitoba, passed away July 29. Growing up in the ’30s, Bob Gordon Bob loved the country lifestyle and farm life, and at an early age, he had a dream of becoming a registered livestock breeder. Bob’s family moved to Souris, Manitoba, in 1955 to the Hume farm, which became their homestead. He married Joyce Honeyman of Hayfield in 1959. In the ’70s, the Hereford herd was established when his children’s love for showing cattle developed. Bob strongly

believed in youth, and during his role as director on the Canadian Hereford Association board, he initiated the formation of the Canadian Junior Hereford Association (CJHA) and hosted the inaugural CJHA event at Kinnaber on Aug. 12, 1979. Kinnaber Cattle Co. became well known for breeding Hereford cattle. They dispersed the herd in 1983 as the children started their college educations. In 1995 Bob was inducted into the Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame, and in 2007 Bob and Joyce together were inducted into the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame. Bob is survived by his wife, Joyce; children, Lois McRae, Shirley Kaufman, Sheila Jensen, B. Lynn Gordon and Bruce Gordon; ten grandchildren, Brett and Melissa McRae; Cole Kaufman; Brady, Brooke and Ben Jensen; Bridger, Danika, Matea and Bennett Gordon; one brother, Wayne Gordon; and one sister, Cheryl Brown.
