CONSTITUTION & BY-LAWS OF THE OHIO ANGUS ASSOCIATION

ARTICLE I: Name

SEC. 1 This Association shall be known as the Ohio Angus Association.

ARTICLE II: Objects

SEC. 1 The object of this Association shall be; to encourage and extend the influence of Aberdeen-Angus cattle; to promote the interests of its membership by creating better trade opportunities, and so far as possible, cooperate to their general advantage and profit; to promote closer relations between membership and to stimulate greater activity among them.

SEC. 2 To arrange for State Sponsored Shows and/or Sales when conditions are favorable and a majority of the members desire such show and sale to be held, to which state members may enter or consign their stock. The president shall appoint a sale committee, approved by the board of directors, and it shall be the duty of said committee to assist in the arrangements of the sales. This committee or the sale manager shall have full power to reject any animal offered for consignment, if said animal would not bring credit to the organization. The president shall also appoint a show committee, approved by the board of directors, and it shall be the duty of said committee to assist in the arrangement of the shows. Upon the recommendation of the show committee and/or the sale committee, the board of directors shall decide on an individual basis at which events out-of-state consignors/breeders may participate.

SEC. 3 To arrange for exhibits at local and other Fairs as may be desired by the members, and, where necessary, make selections of individuals from several herds in order that the group exhibited may represent the best herds in the state.

SEC. 4 To promote and publish a breed directory and other publications that may be decided upon by the board of Directors; to sell advertising in said publications to breeders within the states; to sell advertising to people or concerns other than breeders of Angus Cattle, provided such advertising is ethical and does not bring discredit to the Association. The power of Management of said publications shall be vested in the Board of Directors.

SEC. 5 To employ a Sale Manager who shall devote time to the promotion of the Association as shall be specified and fixed by the Board of Directors from time to time.

The President ’s Message

Fellow

Angus breeders and Ohio Angus Association supporters,

What an amazing ride this has been serving as the Ohio Angus Association President the last two years! We have certainly seen some ups and downs through all facets of life in this time - entry numbers in our shows and sales, prices received for cattle, the stock market, the commodity markets, and of course interest rates! But one constant has remained unchanged through the roller coaster of an economy and social climate in the world around us – the demand for Angus genetics and Angus beef!

If you are reading this, we likely have more than one thing in common, and certainly can agree that the Angus cow has stood the test of time and continues to be at the forefront of the cattle industry in Ohio and the United States, setting the standard for the purebred and commercial industries from coast to coast and around the world! The good Lord has also blessed us with some great people in the Angus business, and it is simply amazing to be involved in the great leadership team that we have in Ohio and at the American Angus Association, where I have forged lifelong friendships, just as I’m sure most of you have. Whether that be through the show ring, sale circuit, Jr. activities, or any sector of beef industry involvement, those relationships and the people around us are what matters most and make all the hard work of being a farmer or rancher worthwhile. If you have not been involved in our organization as a board member, Jr. member, sale consignor, sale buyer, or participant at a field day or event, I encourage you to get involved and enjoy that experience that so many of us have, and get your kids involved so they too can have a rewarding experience and form friendships, business relationships, and skill sets that go way beyond the classroom and the barn.

It is truly an exciting time to get involved or at least pay attention to what the Ohio Angus Association has going on and give your input, as we are in the 2nd year of an intense strategic planning process that will shape this organization for years to come and hopefully ensure that it remains as one of the most active, resourceful, and effective state breed organizations in Ohio and beyond. I can’t thank the current and past board members enough that have willingly decided to engage in this endeavor and see it through, as they are putting countless hours into tough decisions that may not even directly benefit them or their operation but will likely have a lasting impact on their children’s and grandchildren’s Angus business endeavors. Whatever your role or involvement is in the Angus business, please be sure to join me in thanking our officer team, our fieldman - Dan Wells, our American Angus regional managerAlex Tolbert, our entire board of directors, our Jr. Advisors, and of course all of their families for the time, dedication and effort put forth to ensure the prosperity of this organization and the Angus business in Ohio for years to come!

Take care, be kind, and EAT ANGUS BEEF!

Secretary’s Report

Ohio Angus Members,

Enthusiasm for raising high quality Angus beef continues to stay strong in Ohio. All indicators point to a strengthening cattle market through 2023 and into 2024, with feeder forcasted well over $2/lb and fat in the upper $1’s With that said the market for purebred Angus genetics has been strong. Consignment and production sales continued to gain strength as the fall season went on and that trend has continued through the winter at the Cattleman’s Congress in Oklahoma and early bull sales. All the more proof that high end breeding stock will always draw a premium regardless of the current commercial market values and economical challenges.

It remains a buyers market for those looking to expand their herd, as we continue to work to rebuild the cow numbers nationally that have sank over the past 5-10 years. This is a good time for producers to consider retaining high quality heifers which drives a demand for Angus bulls. Alternatively, a priority is also being placed on well- built Angus females for those looking for replacements versus developing their own.

If you have any feedback on how to take Ohio Angus to the next level, don’t hesitate to reach out and contact me. I’m here to support you, our membership, with any of your Angus herd needs.

Thanks,

Dan Wells Secretary/Fieldman

Jim Secrest

Nobleland Farm - Caldwell, OH

Nobleland Farm, owned by James Secrest and his daughter Nancy Snook is a family owned and operated beef farm raising registered Angus cattle. The farm has been in Jim’s family since 1895. The family farm has been designed an Ohio Century Farm by the Ohio Department of Agriculture.

James has had Angus cattle since 1956, when he won Grand Champion Steer at the fair. In 1958, he bought his first Angus heifer. When he graduated high school in 1961, he purchased seven registered Angus heifers to start his own herd. The family farm hasn’t always been a beef farm. When Jim was younger, it was a dairy farm. For 40 years, he worked with his father as a dairyman. His dad begged him to stay on the dairy saying that milk price will get better someday.

Nobleland Farm’s main emphasis is raising registered Angus cows and bulls. Currently, they run approximately 45 females on 180 acres. The only crop that they produce is hay for their cattle. One thing that has made them stand out in the cattle industry is that they were an early adopter of artificial insemination technology. They started using AI in the early ’70s before a lot of people. They use low birth weight EPD sires in their AI program, which is popular among their customer base. Nobleland Farm has had one bull, Pioneer of Nobleland that was part of an AI bull program at Bovagene Genetics and semen was sold nationally on the sire.

Nobleland Farm sells to individual Angus breeders, commercial cattle operations and to 4-H youth. In 2017 the family celebrated 50 years of selling cattle at the Eastern Ohio Angus Sale in Zanesville, Ohio. Jim has only missed three sales in 50+ years of the EOAA Sale. They also participate in the Ohio Beef Expo sale, Ohio Cattlemen’s Association replacement heifer sale, and other regional Angus sales. Jim, Nancy and family have been involved with the Ohio Beef Expo since its first breed show and sale in 1988. Being members of the Noble County Cattlemen’s Association, Ohio Cattlemen’s Association, Ohio Angus Association and Eastern Ohio Angus Association allows them to participate in various shows and sales around the state and country.

THE OHIO ANGUS AUXILIARY

On January 28, 1956, a group of approximately seventy-five enthusiastic women met at the Fort Hayes Hotel in Columbus, Ohio and formed the Ohio Women’s’ Auxiliary.

The opening session was conducted by Mrs. Barbara Hunt, one of the founders, serving as temporary chairman. Mrs. Arthur Mallory of Hampton, Iowa, then President of the American Women’s Auxiliary, assisted with the organization and conducted the first election of officers in which Mrs. Florence Hederding of Canfield, Ohio was named the first President.

The purpose of the Auxiliary has been to aid the Ohio Angus Association and Ohio Junior Angus Association in promoting the Angus breed. These activities include state scholarship awards, support of the American Auxiliary Scholarship program, selection of the annual Miss Ohio Angus, Junior Show Awards for girls & boys, Women’s Showmanship Contest, and acting as a hospitality committee at most Ohio Angus events.

The Ohio Angus Auxiliary Scholarship program began in 1962 and through 1968 was annually awarded to an Ohio State University student in the College of Agriculture, Department of Animal Science. The Board of Directors announced that the 1969 scholarship Award would be patterned after American Auxiliary Scholarship rules. This award is open to graduating high school senior boys and girls. The highest scoring girl or boy applicants will be Ohio’s entries in the American Auxiliary Scholarship contest and receive the Ohio Scholarship Award. The American Auxiliary Scholarship winner will be announced at the Ohio Preview Show. The Ohio Scholarship money will be awarded at the following Annual Banquet. The winner must attend college or some other course of higher education within one year.

Annually from 1958 through 1965, an Ohio Angus Queen was selected on the basis of her cattle show ring success, and from 1959 to 1963, an Ohio Angus King was chosen on the same basis. After 1965, the Queen was selected from a representative of each district association, competing on a point system. In 1968, the Queen was renamed “Miss Ohio Angus”. Starting in 1972, the Auxiliary selected judges to interview each district representative just before the Annual Meeting. Beginning in 1977, candidates for Miss Ohio Angus need not be representatives of a regional association. The “Miss Ohio Angus” is crowned and begins her reign at the Ohio Beef Expo. She presents ribbons and awards at Ohio Angus Association sponsored events and at other Angus events where she is invited. At the following Annual Banquet she will end her reign, and receive an engraved silver award in recognition of her service to the Ohio Angus Association. Miss Ohio Angus will be allotted an allowance to help defer her expenses in connection with her duties.

The Silver Show Award is open to a girl and a boy Junior Angus Association member of 4-H or FFA age and is based entirely on show records.

Each year during the Ohio Angus Preview Show, The Ohio Angus Auxiliary sponsors a Ladies Showmanship Contest and presents a trophy to the winner. To be eligible, a contest must be age twenty-one (21) or over and a paid member of the Ohio Angus Auxiliary.

The Auxiliary assists the Ohio Angus Association at the Annual Banquet by acting as the hospitality committee, decorating the tables, designing the programs and serving as part of the Annual meeting committee. The Angus Auxiliary serves refreshments at the Ohio Preview Show and the Ohio State Fair, and acts as hostesses at the Annual Field day. The Ohio Angus Auxiliary assists the directors of the Ohio Angus Association with the Ohio State Fair Booth and is available to help with promotions at the Farm Science Review.

The Ohio Angus Auxiliary is supported by its dues of $5.00 per year and fund raising projects such as the sale of Angus Motif items and coffee & doughnuts at sale and Angus events.

Any women interested in Angus cattle are cordially invited to join our organization and share in activities and fellowship while helping to promote the most important productANGUS CATTLE and ANGUS BEEF

Miss Ohio Angus

Anna Scheurmann Warsaw, OH

Hello! I am Anna Scheurman, your 2023 Miss Ohio Angus. I am 18 years old and a senior at Tri-Valley High School. I have been active in many school activities including varsity volleyball, National Honor Society, student council, pep club, and served as a class officer as both President and Secretary. After high school, I will be attending Ohio University where I will be majoring in nursing. Outside of the classroom, I have spent much time volunteering and am active in both Ruriteen and 4-H. Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community which I enjoy very much. I live with my family on a century family that has been in my dad’s family since 1831. For my 4-H experience, I am the president of my club and I have been a camp counselor for 4 years. I have been showing animals in 4-H for 9 years showing swine, poultry, and beef. The past few years, I have been heavily involved in the national Angus shows, working with my older sister, Kristina, by helping her and my dad during the shows. I was fortunate to represent Eastern Ohio Angus Association as the queen for the past 4 years and am very excited to now represent the state as the 2023 Miss Ohio Angus.

Ohio Angus Holds Commercial Cattleman’s Meeting at Certified Angus Beef

The Ohio Angus Association host the inaugural Commerical Cattleman’s Meeting to help cattleman to beef up their knowledge on the Certifed Angus program and the advantages of using Angus bulls in their herd. Over 35 cattle men & women gathered in Wooster, OH on January 27th & 28th. The event kicked off on Friday evening with a meal sponsored by the Ohio Angus Association followed by an evening of fellowship and socializing about cattle and the Angus breed.

Finally the group concluded the morning with a presentation from Alex Tolbert on an over view of the American Angus Association and the benefits of using an Angus bull in your operation.

To conclude the group was treated to a CAB lunch compliments of Certified Angus Beef before wrapping up the program in the early afternoon.

The event was a huge success with many participants raving about the experience. Planning and execution of the meeting was let by the Promotion and Education Committee of the Ohio Angus Board. We greatly appreciate the time and effort they put into the event and know they are already looking for ways to expand the event for future years in an effort to continue to grow the demand for Angus bulls and Angus genetics in the state of Ohio.

On Saturday morning the group move to the CAB Culinary Center for a morning of beef education let by the CAB Staff and American Angus Regional Manager, Alex Tolbert. Topics included the Science behind the Sizzle where participants learned about the different quality grades, what it takes to make it into Certified Angus Beef and tasted samples of steak from each respective quality grade. From their the group moved into the Meat Lab where CAB Meat Scientists led discussion on carcass processing, wholesale and retail cuts of a carcass and the grid pricing system. This hands on session was very well received as its not every day you get to evaluate a beef carcass.

SUCCESSFUL CONSIGNMENT SALE Checklist For A

Owning seed-stock Angus cattle can be a very rewarding experience. A great deal of time, hard work and planning go into building a successful program. A sound and pro-active marketing plan will provide you with even more enjoyment and a “leg-up” on the competition, regardless of the size of your operation. Today’s cattle industry is a global one; tailor your marketing efforts for both local and national buyers.

Planning and preparation are the number one components of a successful consignment. Start brainstorming possible consignments months before the sale chairperson contacts you or you contact them. Your management and breeding decisions play a large role in this planning and preparation process. When completing your AI work, keep in mind how these decisions will affect your offering. Keeping daily accurate records will benefit your program and assist the sale manager. For your review, here is a suggested time table for the necessary steps to a successful consignment.

4-6 MONTHS BEFORE SALE DAY

• Review your cow herd, make list of potential consignments.

• Double check ages, breeding information and pedigrees to assist in narrowing down your list.

• Contact sale chairperson/ sale manager with your interest in consigning to the sale and provide them the information on your potential consignment for their review.

• Make the necessary arrangement to get the consignment(s) bred and/or pregnancy checked. If and when possible, use ultrasound for pregnancy and calf-sex; ultrasound gives you a more accurate age of the fetus and sometimes can determine sex of the fetus. A confirmed heifer calf fetus could potentially add more value to the offering.

2-3 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE SALE

• Make final selection of consignments.

• Make sure all consignments, including calves at side, are registered. This allows the sale manager access to the most up-to-date information, such as EPDs, on your consignments and allow for a smooth registration transfer process to please both the buyer and seller.

• If you are interested, arrange to photograph your consignment, either by contacting a professional cattle photographer or your sale manager. A good photograph of your lot allows the sale manager and you to showcase your consignment to potential buyers nationwide. A quality picture will place the dollars back in your pocket.

• Promptly submit registration numbers, breeding information, photos, support photos, performance pedigrees and footnote information to the sale manager. If you are not comfortable writing a footnote, provide all pertinent information to the sale manager. You know your cattle and their bloodlines better than anyone; providing the sale manager this information will provide insight into the strengths of your consignment.

• As part of a consignment sale, a sale manager handles a large part of the sale advertising. However, you may choose to also place your own ads to highlight your consignment, especially on premier consignments. If you do choose to place additional advertising, start thinking of publications in which to place the ad, the size, whether color is desired, content etc. Typically, your sale manager is set up to assist you in developing and placing ads.

5-6 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE SALE

• Sale manager finishes putting the catalog together and it is sent to the printer

• Separate sale offering from the rest of your herd, and give them some extra attention and feed.

• Buyers prefer cattle that are in optimal condition, not too fat...not too thin. Top pedigrees and production records alone will not always sway a buyer if your consignment is too thin or in poor condition.

• Watch for consignor pre-sale mailers from the sale chairperson and sale manager with information and instructions for the up coming sale.

3-4 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE SALE

• Remain in contact with the sale manager; discuss potential buyers, past buyers and your price expectations, so everyone is on the same page.

• Complete necessary health work and obtain a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI). To ensure that your consignments are eligible to sell into almost any state, they are required to be tested negative or come from a documented “free herd” for both Tuberculosis (TB) and Brucellosis (Bangs). T.B. and Bangs testing must be done Within 30 days of the sale. Every state has slightly different requirements for what ages must be tested and what documentation is required from a “free herd”, so work closely with your vet and the sale manager to ensure your consignments are eligible.

• Matching ear tags are mailed to all consignors from the sale manager.

• Request paper copies of Registration Papers, if yours are stored electronically.

• Catalogs are mailed app. 3 weeks before the sale; work with the sale manager to ensure copies are mailed to any new potential buyers and request several additional copies for you to distribute.

• You can maximize sale results by contacting past buyers directly. Mail them an extra catalog with a letter highlighting your consignment(s), produce a flyer with additional information about your consignment or call/visit with them, making sure they received a catalog, offering to answer any questions and inviting them to attend the sale.

1-2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE SALE

• Clip or make arrangements to have your consignments clipped. Well presented & clipped consignments will draw more attention from potential buyers. If you need help, contact the sale manager. They can put you in touch with someone who has experience Clipping cattle.

• Double check that all consignments are tattooed and match their registration papers, apply your sale ear tags and remove any additional old ear tags. Typically, this can easily be done when the cattle are in the chute to be clipped.

1 DAY PRIOR TO THE SALE

• Make sure consignments are clean and presentable.

• Arrive on time at the sale location and have all the necessary paperwork including: signed & completed registration papers, Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI), test results for T.B. & Bangs and any updated breeding, calving or production information to be included on the update sheet.

• Upon arrival, check in with the Sale Manager and present all necessary paperwork. (Offer to assist with stalling and sorting of all consignments.)

SALE DAY

• Arrive early, make sure your consignments are fed and watered.

• Visit with potential buyers and answer any questions they might have.

• Assist during and after the sale, by running lots to and from the sale ring. It takes the efforts of all consignors to make sure the sale runs smoothly.

• After the sale, stick around and help load out, clean up and tear down. Especially, picking up after yourself, as many consignment sales are hosted by another consignor or fellow breeder.

American Angus Association® Selection Tools

Expected Progeny Difference (EPD), is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Interim EPDs may appear on young animals when their performance has yet to be incorporated into the American Angus Association National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) procedures. This EPD will be preceded by an “I”, and may or may not include the animal’s own performance record for a particular trait, depending on its availability, appropriate contemporary grouping, or data edits needed for NCE.

Accuracy (ACC), is the reliability that can be placed on the EPD. An accuracy of close to 1.0 indicates higher reliability. Accuracy is impacted by the number of progeny and ancestral records included in the analysis.

GROWTH

Calving Ease Direct (CED), is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers.

Birth Weight EPD (BW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Weaning Weight EPD (WW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Residual Average Daily Gain (RADG), feed efficiency expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic ability for postweaning gain in future progeny compared to that of other sires, given a constant amount of feed consumed.

Yearling Weight EPD (YW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Yearling Height EPD (YH), is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling height, expressed in inches, compared to the that of other sires.

Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC), expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires.

Docility (DOC), is expressed as a difference in yearling cattle temperament, with a higher value indicating more favorable docility. It predicts the average difference of progeny from a sire in comparison with another sire’s calves.

MATERNAL

Heifer Pregnancy (HP), is a selection tool to increase the probability or chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant as first–calf heifers during a normal breeding season. A higher EPD is the more favorable direction, and the EPD is reported in percentage units.

Calving Ease Maternal (CEM), is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf daughters. It predicts the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of other sires.

Maternal Milk EPD (Milk), is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability.

Mature Weight EPD (MW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the difference in mature weight of daughters of a sire compared to the daughters of other sires.

Mature Height EPD (MH), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the difference in mature height of a sire’s daughters compared to daughters of other sires.

Cow Energy Value ($EN), expressed in dollars savings per cow per year, assesses differences

in cow energy requirements as an expected dollar savings difference in daughters of sires. A larger value is more favorable when comparing two animals (more dollars saved on feed energy expenses). Components for computing the cow $EN savings difference include lactation energy requirements and energy costs associated with differences in mature cow size.

CARCASS

The genetic evaluation produces a single set of EPDs for carcass weight, marbling score, Ribeye area and fat thickness. The units of measure are in carcass trait format and analyzed on an age-constant basis.

Carcass Weight EPD (CW), expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Marbling EPD (Marb), expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Ribeye Area EPD (RE), expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Fat Thickness EPD (Fat), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in external fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

$VALUE INDEXES

$Value indexes, are multi-trait selection indexes to assist beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. $Values are reported in dollars per head, where a higher value is more favorable. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires in the database if the sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment.

Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for pre-weaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow size.

Feedlot Value ($F), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning merit compared to progeny of other sires.

Grid Value ($G), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires. $G combines both $QG and $YG, and may be the best carcass decision tool for focusing on quality and red meat yield simultaneously.

Quality Grade ($QG) represents the quality grade segment of the economic advantage found in $G. $QG is intended for the specialized user wanting to place more emphasis on improving quality grade. The carcass marbling (Marb) EPD, which is influenced by carcass marbling scores and ultrasound percent intramuscular fat (% IMF) measurements, contribute to $QG.

Yield Grade ($YG) $YG represents the yield grade segment of the economic advantage found in $G. $YG is intended for the specialized user wanting to place more emphasis on red meat yield. It provides a multi-trait approach to encompass ribeye, fat thickness and weight into an economic value for red meat yield.

Beef Value ($B), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires.

Combined Value ($C), expressed in dollars per head, which includes all traits that make up both Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M) and Beef Value ($B) with the objective that commercial producers will replace 20% of their breeding females per year with replacement heifers retained within their own herd. The remaining cull heifer and steer progeny are then assumed to be sent to the feedlot where the producers retain ownership of those cattle and sell them on a quality-based carcass merit grid.

*Due dates are based on a 283 day gestation interval of Angus based Cattle.
