Rogers Bar HR   Charolais

It’s Simple: More Pounds Equal More Money! Rogers Bar HR Bulls Put On the Pounds! Our Bulls Have Won More Independent BIF Certified Rate of Gain Tests Than Any Other Charolais Breeder in the Nation. Rogers Bar HR is the largest Charolais breeder in the South. We have been ranching since 1926 and raising Charolais since 1959. This year’s Hinds and Florida Bull Tests prove it again, Rogers Bar HR Charolais bulls dominate the competition. What does this mean?

VIEWPOINT

CHAROLAIS Standing still is dangerous. We Can’t Afford to Blink

If there really was a Rip Van Winkle in the beef industry and he woke up after

a few decades long “nap”, he would find himself even more bewildered than the fictional story recounts. Unlike ole Rip’s unfortunate experiences upon returning to the modern world, the beef industry story is much different. The only similarity is the reality that nothing stays the same. Arguably, one of the most significant differences in today versus two to three decades ago is how beef cattle are promoted and marketed. A quarter century ago, most producers had two options for promotion—print and radio. In the registered business, if a producer didn’t have the facilities to conduct an auction on the farm, the offering was typically auctioned at the local sale barn as a special event. Commercial cattle were almost exclusively traded on a cash market. The cash market had nothing to do with value and everything to do with a less than transparent numbers game. The Web and Internet were abstractions. Social media as we know it today,

Charolais enthusiasts follow AICA on Facebook and the number increases each week. By now, many of you have likely visited www.CharolaisUSA.com and experienced a new, more user friendly site. “Searchability” is an important factor in the success of any website. If someone wanting to know more about Charolais goes to Google or another search engine, and enters the keyword “Charolais” how far down the page does the AICA site appear?

“The AICA staff is keenly aware of the value and importance of this next generation of marketing tools.” wasn’t in our conversations until the early 2000s. None of us saw Facebook or LinkedIn as a marketing tool. In fact, we never really thought about meeting anyone “online”! Fast forward to today, research indicates adults in the U.S. spend more than twelve hours A DAY using media in some form. The report breaks our usage down to 47.1% of our waking hours are spent on a cell phone or online. More than 36% of our time is spent consuming television programming. The remaining time is spent listening to radio or reading print. Fifty-four percent of consumers check social networks daily and some check 10 or more times each day. That statistic translates to adults spending more than an hour a day checking social media. Sixty percent of social media engagement is done on a smartphone or tablet and not on a desktop computer. The AICA staff is keenly aware of the value and importance of this next generation of marketing tools. We continually monitor and gather statistics indicating the usage and traffic of our Internet, digital and social media. Harnessing these new tools afford us flexibility and efficiency. We now use Facebook to provide near real time show and sale reporting and communicating important information to members. More than 1,800

dollars to digital media in an effort to maximize exposure and more efficiently utilize the media budget. By doing so, we continually gather data to determine the return on our investment in digital media and make more informed decisions. The bottom line is almost nothing we do today to promote or market our product is the same as it was 25 years ago. All categories of cattle are traded online daily. Order buyers and feeders have real time information, including genomics, health and several other documented programs to add value and influence buying decisions. Online bidding is a valuable component of marketing registered cattle today. Viewers can review videos of the offering prior to the sale and participate in the competitive bidding process in real time. The auctioneer can speak directly to online bidders and communicate via instant messaging in the event of questions. Poor Rip’s experience is a good lesson. The beef industry and each farmer, rancher, veterinarian, scientist, educator, manufacturer—anyone remotely connected to meat animal protein production must show up for work everyday with their “A Game”. We can’t afford to blink, much less take a “long winter’s nap.” .

Features of the Online Registration System

AICA’s online system has several newly enhanced features. Log in with your breeder number and password and you’ll find additional reports listed under the “My Reports” tab. The new Sire/Dam Performance Summary gives options to print lifetime records on individual animals or all active sires and or dams. You also have the option to get reports by calving year. Many other reports are available including performance reports and ultrasound reports. Ultrasound barn sheets can be generated using the report function. You have the option to print barn sheets by calving year or by individual animals. Printing quick copies of individual certificates is another useful enhancement of the “reports” function. Members use the Herd EPD reports to keep up on the most current numbers for the animals in their herd. This list can be sorted by sex and listed in several different orders. There is also the option to choose a birth date range. Under the “tools” tab, you will find a new “Data Export” button. This data export gives you the flexibility to export data on animals in your herd and use those data files in your own management packages. You can download and save the files directly to your computer in a CSV (can be opened in Excel) format. There are many options within this feature including selecting the type of animal to export and specific data. AICA using GeneSeek

The AICA is now using GeneSeek for parentage testing, contact Marilou Wegner to request a kit. The kit is specific to the animal being tested. AICA rules require AI sire and donor cows be tested if they have not been. AI Sires

AI Sires used “out of herd” must be DNA tested before calves can be registered. Check the bull’s record to make sure the DNA work has been done before submitting registration papers. AICA rules require signatures on bulls you do not own. Signatures can be submitted online, fax, mail or e-mail. AICA Mail

AICA no longer gets mail at the post office box. Please make sure all correspondence to AICA or the Charolais Journal is addressed to: 11700 NW Plaza Circle, Kansas City, Mo, 64153.

Charolais Breeder Makes Gains With Advanced Reproduction

The Statler family. From left, Nathan, Micah, Jesse, Daren, Jeni, Evan and Dennis Statler.

By: PHILIP GRUBER

Reprinted with permission of Lancaster Farming

n a 150-year-old barn along a quiet Franklin County road, Daren Statler has built a successful business based on Charolais cattle and advanced reproduction techniques. 22 

N O V E M B E R 2015

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

Raising the white French beef cattle has grown into a nice side business for Statler, who works full-time as a veterinarian at Greencastle Veterinary Hospital. When he was 14, Statler saved up his money and bought his first Charolais bull from Leroy Myers, a breeder in Maryland. Myers gave him a good deal on a descendant of a national champion. “I think he took pity on me,” Statler said. Statler’s father, Dennis Statler, raised graded Charolais, liking their white color, fast growth, feed efficiency and the taste of their meat. Statler decided that if had a high-end bull, he might as well have good females too and transitioned the herd to purebred, registered animals. The Charolais cattle became his college fund, helping him pay for a four-year degree at Messiah Col lege and then vet school at Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. Since joining the vet practice in 2000, Statler has gradually been focusing more on ultrasound diagnostics and embryo transfers — the latter a technique he practiced on his own cows. Statler and his wife, Jeni, bought the family’s 117-acre farm from his parents in 2012. The farm has been in the family since 1957, when Statler’s grandfather bought the property to raise heifers. Statler’s cattle business is called Desco Charolais — essentially DES Co., named for the initials he shares with his father and grandfather. Both of Statler’s parents continue to help with the farm and his and Jeni’s four boys. One of Statler’s most successful cows has been WCR Ms Duke 6025, which he co-owns with an Alabama

cattleman. When the cow turns 9 this year, she should become a diamond dam of distinction, meaning she has produced seven calves, or a calf every year since age 2, Statler said. Statler has an agreement to sell all his bulls to Rogers Bar HR Charolais in Mississippi. Statler uses some Rogers Bar genetics and said he tries to emulate Rogers’ breeding strategies. Demand for Charolais cattle is strong in the South. “They’re very heat-tolerant because they’re white,” Statler said. Charolais have not been as popular in the Northeast, but “it’s starting to pick up,” he said. Southern breeders like their Charolais big, with mature cows weighing 1,350-1,700 pounds with frame scores of 7-8, Statler said. In the Northeast, Charolais tend to be a more moderate 6, and show animals might be a 5, he said. Frame score describes the bovine skeletal structure and is generally consistent throughout an animal’s life. With just more than 30 head, Statler’s herd is small, but he said that actually works well for advanced reproductive work. “You can give more attention to individual cattle,” he said. Statler flushes his best cows and transfers the embryos to his poorest cows, which serve as recips, or surrogate mothers. He sells the in-between animals as consignments, sometimes flushing them before selling them. Many people who buy cows bring them back for reproductive work, Statler said. In his veterinary practice, Statler has exported embryos for its dairy customers to such countries as China, Canada,

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

N O V E M B E R 2 0 1 5  23

Germany and the Netherlands. In the past year, Statler said, he has noticed more Angus, Charolais and Hereford embryos being exported to Russia and Europe. Statler has not yet had a chance to send Charolais embryos abroad, but he said he might soon get to send some to Europe. Statler sees a big potential for beef farmers selling embryos abroad, as it is easier to ship embryos than fullsize animals. To export embryos, Statler has been inspected by both USDA and Chinese officials. Statler has sold his own cattle to seven states and Puerto Rico, and bought cattle from as far away as Montana. The original Charolais cattle from France were mostly horned, but polled genetics are the norm for Charolais herds in the Northeast, Statler said. Statler’s bull HBR Harlan’s Keystone 016 is polled homozygous, which means he will never have a horned calf. “In the past, Charolais had a bad reputation for being wild and crazy,” but selective breeding has made the animals much more docile, Statler said. He said it is often good to serve as his own veterinarian. “It creates business for myself,” he said. Sometimes, though, Statler has gotten too attached to an animal, and he has called his colleagues to get a second opinion. Statler is licensed to practice veterinary medicine in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. He has also applied for licensing in Nebraska, where he had an opportunity to do some reproductive work this year. Statler’s local dairy customers slow down their reproductive work in May to focus on planting, but 24 

N O V E M B E R 2015

Nebraskans want March calves, which means “they get swamped in May,” Statler said. With a full-time vet practice, a herd of cattle and four boys, Statler does not have much time to show his Charolais. He used to show at the Eastern National Livestock Show in Maryland and the Pennsylvania Farm Show, but now he focuses on the boys’ showing at the county 4-H roundup. Statler breeds by expected progeny difference, the math that suggests how offspring will perform, but those performance standards are not always the same criteria that lead to show success. Statler said it is hard to convince people that a cow is valuable and should be flushed when she does not place well in shows. The boys, meanwhile, like showing their cattle. Nathan, the oldest, now makes his own breeding decisions, and all four are starting to generate income from their animals, Statler said. Raising cattle has taught the boys a lot of life lessons. For example, when you get itchy clipping a cow, you just have to keep going, Statler said. Statler said it is rewarding to make progress in the breed using advanced reproductive techniques and participate in a calling that goes back to the book of Genesis. “All in all, it’s pretty rewarding,” he said.

LICE Control in Beef Cattle By Heather Smith Thomas

Lice

are a common winter problem in cattle, especially in northern climates with cold weather and short winter days. Heat, sunlight, and short hair make it more difficult for lice to survive and multiply; their life cycle speeds up and numbers increase dramatically when weather is cold and they have long winter hair to hide in. Doug Colwell, PhD, Livestock Parasitologist, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge, Alberta, says sucking lice and chewing lice can both be a problem for cattle. They are generally present on the animal year-round, but their numbers increase dramatically during cold weather. “We ran a serological survey in western Canada (southern Alberta, Saskatchewan and a few herds from Manitoba) for several years, checking for lice, and found 75 to 80% of beef calves coming off the range in the fall tested positive for sucking lice. This is fairly consistent with results we found a few years earlier, checking calves coming into a feedlot that time of year— prior to the time that they would be treated for lice. The same thing would hold true for northern states in the U.S.,” says Colwell. Calves are picking up lice from their mothers or herdmates, and most of them have lice by end of summer. CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

N O V E M B E R 2 0 1 5  25

Many cattle also have chewing/biting lice, but it’s harder to test for these. “We don’t have a serological test for them. The survey we did 12 years ago indicated a fairly high proportion of calves had chewing lice,” says Colwell. Many cattle harbor both types. He did studies on lice populations, using a counting technique to determine typical lice numbers from January through May on untreated cows. “By May we couldn’t find lice on the animals using this method. There may be a few in areas on the animal where they can take refuge and hide, such as between the hind legs, but otherwise the animal is relatively free of lice during summer. By mid-October we start seeing lice again,” he says. Most ranchers in northern climates try to treat for lice in late fall or early winter. “Our basic treatment program is to knock the top off the population growth curve so that by January we don’t have a massive outbreak,” explains Colwell. Today, chewing lice may be more common than biting lice. “There is some indication that the products we’re using are not as effective as they once were. Also the macrocyclic lactones used as injectables only kill sucking lice.” The chewing lice aren’t sucking blood and therefore are not affected by a systemic product. The pour-ons have more effect on chewing lice, especially if the products get distributed fairly well over the body. For a while after treatment, this will reduce the chewing lice population on the animal. “We don’t know how effectively these products spread over the body, or whether there may be locations the drug never reaches— such as between the hind legs and up around the armpit area of the front legs. These may be areas lice can retreat into and survive,” he explains. This residual population could proliferate and eventually cover the body again after the drug is no longer having an effect. Many herds experience a resurgence in lice before spring; cattle start rubbing and itching again by February or March, and may need another treatment. “There are also feelings that some drug resistance may have developed, but this is unsubstantiated. No one has yet tested for drug resistance,” says Colwell. Effective lice control depends on timing. “If you treat too early in the fall, this gives hiding lice a chance to rebuild populations and come back in large numbers. If you wait until early winter, there’s less opportunity for them to rebuild,” he says. Joe Campbell, DVM (Senior Veterinarian, Cattle Professional Services, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, 26 

N O V E M B E R 2015

Even putting treated animals into a corral where there were untreated animals may provide a chance for exposure, there may be a few viable lice still on the hairs that have been rubbed off on fences. During cold weather, however, the lice won’t live very long apart from a host. Inc.), Florissant, Colorado says that after you’ve treated a group of cattle, don’t introduce any new animals to the group unless you treat them before introduction, or they will spread lice to the treated cattle. Even putting treated animals into a corral where there were untreated animals may provide a chance for exposure, there may be a few viable lice still on the hairs that have been rubbed off on fences. During cold weather, however, the lice won’t live very long apart from a host. If cattle start rubbing again in late winter, they may or may not need retreatment, depending on the severity of the renewed lice population, and how late in the winter you see signs of lice. “If it’s still early, such as February/ early March and there is still a lot of cold weather ahead, it will pay to retreat them,” Campbell explains. If it’s late March or early April and the days are getting longer and warmer, the lice population will soon diminish on its own. “Retreatment may or may not be necessary, depending on the situation. At that time of year (late winter) just about any pour-on product will be very adequate to knock the lice down again for the rest of the winter,” says Campbell.

TREATMENT –

“The macrocyclic lactones (which include Ivomec, Dectomax, Cydectin and now the generics) do a good job when applied at the right time. October-November is usually a good time, if the weather is already cold, but not any earlier,” says Colwell. If ranchers are pregchecking and vaccinating early (as many did this past year during the drought), they often go ahead and apply a delousing product, especially if they won’t have the cattle in again until spring. Then they may have serious lice problems in February. Winter-long control can be obtained only if cattle are treated late in the season when lice are starting to build up. “When the macrocyclic lactone products first came

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

on the market, some drug companies gave a guarantee, saying one treatment would last through winter and if you found lice on any of your animals they would pay for retreatment. There were some useful lessons learned. You can’t mix treated and untreated cattle, use improper dosage, or treat too early,” says Colwell. It’s usually not necessary to re-treat for lice if a few show up in late March or early April, because lice populations won’t proliferate at that late date. “Lice don’t survive in heat. If the cow is standing in bright sunlight in summer, temperature on her skin may go up to 115 to 120 degrees F and this is outside the thermal tolerance of a louse or a louse egg. Adult lice are dying and not reproducing, so the population crashes when weather warms up,” explains Colwell. Tips for proper treatments: No matter what you are using, never underdose. Always treat at the maximum level. If you don’t kill all the lice on an animal, that animal serves as a source of lice for the rest of the herd and spreads lice to the ones you just treated. Then you may see high levels of lice again before winter is over. “We recommend re-treating later in winter, like February, if lice become a problem. It used to be cheap to do this, using a topical oil-based pyrethroid such as Cylence or Boss. These spread through the hair coat and have enough residual activity to last awhile and get the cattle through to spring. Unfortunately they are now more expensive than some of the generic macrocyclic lactones but I still think they are the best type of followup treatment,” Colwell says. “Products containing synthetic pyrethroids are very effective for lice control. Many folks don’t use the endectocides even in the late fall/early winter; they just use a purge dewormer for internal parasites and a pyrethroid pour-on for lice,” says Campbell. If you are unsure about what to use and when, in your own situation, this can be discussed with your herd health veterinarian. Sometimes you have to do something a little different because of a bad year, or in a situation where fenceline contact or a break in a fence allowed untreated cattle to mingle with treated cattle. Other methods are useful, such as insecticides on back-rubbers that allow animals to self-treat, according to Colwell. “Self-grooming—licking, rubbing and scratching—helps keep the lice population down. In northern climates, however, long winter hair reduces effectiveness of the tongue to pull lice off. The tongue is a great grooming device, but with a thick hair coat

it can’t get to the lice that are right down on the skin. Thus insecticide back-rubbers and other structures for cattle to scratch on can be a help,” says Colwell. This also minimizes damage to facilities if cattle rub on these instead of the fences. By March, days are getting longer with more intense sunlight, and most lice populations start dwindling--and retreat to cooler places on the animal. “Some animals act as carriers; lice don’t leave them during summer. The most effective lice control is culling the carriers. Any animal that is chronically infested will keep spreading lice to the others. There are a few animals in the herd that are highly susceptible to one kind of parasite or another. This may be due to ineffectiveness of their immune response, and their genetics. You probably shouldn’t make your entire culling decision based on louse populations, but it should be a factor to consider,” says Colwell. Lack of immune response can be linked to genetics. Some animals have stronger immune systems than others. Carriers usually have some deficiency in their immune system that makes them more susceptible to heavy lice infestation, since cattle normally develop some resistance to lice after exposure.

LIFE CYCLE AND SPREAD –

Lice infest cattle all year but numbers are usually low in summer because most of them are shed off in the spring with winter hair. Lice also tend to leave the hottest areas of the animal in summer and don’t reproduce as fast, according to Colwell. They increase their reproductive rate in cold weather, with more generations in a shorter time span. Lice populations build as the animals grow winter hair, and reach a peak in winter, dramatically multiplying when weather turns cold. The long winter hair gives lice added protection and an ideal environment for reproduction.

Directors By Area

Hello everyone! My name is Taylor Husz and I am excited to be serving as an At-Large AIJCA Board of Director for the 2015-2016 year. I grew up in Maryville, Missouri where my father, Jim Husz runs our purebred Charolais and Angus cowcalf operation. I served as your 2014 Miss Charolais USA and was honored to travel across the United States representing the Charolais breed. I am very excited to be on the Junior Board to represent Charolais and the awesome juniors that represent our great breed. I currently live in Stillwater, Oklahoma where I am attending Oklahoma State University majoring in Animal Science Biotechnology. After I earn my Bachelor of Science degree, I would like to continue my education to receive a Masters and Doctorate in Animal Genetics, specifically studying chromosomes and how they cause mutations and diseases. Q: What is your favorite Junior National contest? A: My favorite Junior National contest is the cook-off

contest, for sure. I love cooking and making new recipes and this contest lets us come up with a fun beef recipe and get to share it with others. Also, I love the Missouri vs. Nebraska team competition we have every year!

is extremely outgoing and kind. This year’s Junior National in Minnesota was her first year getting to show, as she had just turned 8, and she was so excited to finally be able to show at Junior Nationals. It really made me remember why we have the Junior National and why I started showing cattle in the first place; for the love of Charolais and your cattle. I became a board member so that I can help keep those juniors as excited to show and to spread the word of how great our association is to get other kids involved. I think the most important thing to remember is to step back and remember why we’re showing cattle in the first place.

Why is it important for the younger kids to get involved in the Junior National?

It is so important for the younger kids to be involved in the Junior National because they are the future of our breed. Without the younger generations being involved and active, we won’t have a strong future that the Charolais breed deserves.

What advice would you give to a new junior member on how to become more involved?

Q: What do you look forward to most about the National A:

Show in Louisville this year?

A: I am extremely excited for the National Show in Louisville

this fall because I have never been to the North American International Livestock Exposition. I am very excited to get to show for the first time and work the ring as a board member.

Q: Where was your first Junior National, and what was

your favorite memory from it?

To the new junior members, I would say to just get involved and make new friends! Some of the best friends you will make throughout your life will come from this Association! On how to get more involved, I would tell you to come to Junior Nationals. It will be your favorite show of the year! And at Junior Nationals do all of the contests; art, poster, speeches, cook off, quiz bowl, showmanship. All of those contests will help you meet people and make the experience so much better.

A: My first Junior National was in Sioux Falls, South Dakota Q: Who has been the biggest help to you throughout in 2010. My favorite memories from it were getting to meet all of the other juniors that loved the Charolais breed and seeing Haley Stalcup as the 2010 Miss Charolais USA. Watching her at my first Junior National encouraged me to run for Miss Charolais USA.

What or who inspired you to become a board member and why?

A: At the 2013 Junior National in Texarkana, I participated in

your show career?

My biggest supporter throughout my show career has been my dad, Jim Husz. Without him I wouldn’t be showing cattle and wouldn’t have ran for Miss Charolais USA or the National Board. Everyone needs that supporter in their life to tell them to go for it and not be afraid of failure.

RIGHT TO FLUSH TO BULL OF YOUR CHOICE

I’ve had the oportunity to own some really good cows, but this cow takes the cake. In my opinion, she is just special. A female that holds her condition well and also raised a monster bull calf this year. She is deep-bodied, has a ton of rib shape and has an attractive look to her. She is sweet fronted for as massive as she is with an awesome disposition. She is a herd builder. She is averaging 8 IVF embryos per flush. This is a female that could make those big time herd bulls. If her daughters turn out to look like her, you will have your next future donor. I also think that she would work to make awesome show steers. This female is an eye-full and will be on display sale day, so don’t miss out on an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of one cool Charolais cow.

need to concentrate on weaning weight and yearling weight – getting the most amount of weight with the least amount of input,” said Mike. “We’ve done an excellent job on getting birth weight down. It’s something we have to watch, but it’s not a concern. Now we have to make cattle as efficient as we can.” When speaking of efficiency, Schumacher says, “We still have to have an animal that is big enough to make money and can still grow efficient. Otherwise they will not grade. We don’t have to have a huge ribeye, but so many cows today don’t have a big enough ribeye to compensate.” “I still want to see a 14-inch ribeye in my bulls,” said Schumacher who uses ultrasound to collect carcass data on the 15-25 MBS bulls sold annually. Noting that flavor and tenderness are both a must, Schumacher says the breed has to fight the idea that Charolais don’t have any marbling. “They discount Charolais because they say we don’t have the marbling, but it’s there, and we don’t have as much fat as most other breeds do.” Color is another marketing stigma that has to go. “Everyone is wrapped around the color of their cattle,” he added. “I hope the Charolais breed is strong enough they’ll never give that up.” According to Schumacher, other features within the breed that aid in overall productivity and ultimately a producer’s bottom line are structure and longevity. “Structure within the Charolais breed is pretty good, but it’s important that cattle are able to walk,” he says. “Everyone sells 600-pound feeder calves, but when they go to the feedlot – they’d better have some feet under them.”

The Schumachers keep only the top end of their calves for bulls. The others, along with a few heifers, are fed out on the farm and sold as freezer beef, so they see first-hand how the MBS brand stands up. As for longevity, Mike is quick to add, “If you can get 10 or 12 calves out of a cow, it’s a whole lot better than five or six.” Schumacher, who has held offices within the Missouri Charolais Association and is currently serving on the board of the American International Charolais Association, is also using genomic testing to make improvements on the MBS program. “Genomic testing is new and many commercial cattlemen around here don’t understand it at all,” he said. “I’m using it for my own records so I can make improvements.” Coming into contact with local cattlemen on a daily basis through the feed store and grain elevator is a plus for the Schumacher’s advertising program. While they do participate in the Northeast Missouri Performance Tested Bull Sale, they sell most of their bulls through private treaty.

• This is a full sister to the Ty Dybdal heifer he purchased from us in our 2012 sale for $5,000, that went on to be named the National Reserve Junior Calf Champion at Fort Worth two months after that sale. This heifer came in from a cooperator a little later and thus is greener in her condition when we shot pictures, but don’t let that fool you. She is correct in her lines, feminine made and long-necked. When she catches up to her contemporaries, and she will, you will be happy you own this one. These X-Factor daughters are making one heck of a kind of brood cow.

• I remember writing footnotes last year on full sib embryos to this heifer that said this mating should be a home run and was it ever! This is one of the first calves out of our current National Champion Bull MCF Bohannon and to say we are excited about him is an understatement. This female is powerfully constructed, yet maintains an extremely attractive look and that should come as no surprise with the 7515 donor as her dam. This heifer will compete! In her first and only time out so far, she was selected Calf Champion at the Missouri State Fair. If you are serious about owning and showing a Charolais heifer don’t overlook this one! She is entered in the National Show at Louisville!

• When thinking of Family Values and what great cow families can do for someone’s operation, the Greta cow family comes to the front of my mind real quick. This daughter of Greta sired by Ledger will be a front pasture donor after her show days are over. Just like all the Greta calves this one also has all the center body and rib shape that one could ask for. She is a maternal sib to RF Greta 96Z, a past sale topper at $10,000 and was the 2013 Missouri State Fair Champion Female for C&H Farms. After having seen the kind of cow she made for C&H and seeing what other daughters have done I believe this is one of those can’t miss cow families that is going to be a big part of our operation moving forward. It’s truly unique to have this phenomenal pedigree and achieve her elite quality look! Buy with confidence. Entered in Louisville.

We had two heifers out of him and both of them made the sale so that should tell you the kind of job he is doing and the excitement we have for him. This heifer’s dam was chosen by Utopia Genetics, 5J Charolais and Ridder Farms out of the 2011 American Royal Ten Grand Sale, at $7,000, for her look and pedigree.

• RF Miss Daisey 460 is the only fall heifer we have in the sale offering and we believe this October female could stand some competition. She is a female that is very attractive in her overall makeup. She is out of a first calf heifer that was our pick of the fall heifer calves at the 2013 Satterfield Charolais sale. Her dam is a LT Pro-Line daughter that did a great job with her first calf. Entered in Louisville National show.

• This Investment daughter is sure to have some attention on sale day. Investment has done an outstanding job for our operation and this heifer shows you why we are excited about his offspring. She is very complete in her design and attractive through her front 1/3. She is that heifer that doesn’t catch your attention right away but after you study her it’s just hard to find a hole in her. Along with her phenotype she also possesses a strong EPD profile. A maternal sister sold in last year’s sale to Ahmann Farms. Entered in Louisville.

• Our first consignor open heifer and a good one. This heifer is a sib to the heifer that sold for $9,000 to Griswold Cattle as a future donor to be. This heifer exhibits the same qualities of that heifer both sired by our great home-raised herd sire TCCS Inxs’s No Doubt (Fearless). To the best of the Thurnau’s knowledge this is the last of his progeny to sell this year. His daughters at this point are averaging $6,000. Several breeders are flushing their best to him. His progeny will hit the sales big in just a short time. This heifer is puppy dog tame, with tons of growth, femininity and depth. She has a high quality set of EPDs. She has been entered in the National Show in Louisville. • Presented by TC Cattle Services, Doug Thurnau, St. Elmo, Illinois 618-604-4774

Her dam Lot 27, has been one of our best cows and when you put Ledger on the top side of the pedigree the cow potential is endless. Her pedigree is loaded with breed greats such as Cigar and Duke 914. She ranked number one in her contemporary group for weaning weight to ratio 115. Her EPDs are outstanding across the board and she has terminal sire index ranking her in the top 3% of the breed. A maternal sister raised a $7,000 open heifer calf in last year’s sale, RF Southern Spice 402 (pictured). We want to continue to build on this great cow family and want a partner that is just as excited about her as we are.

I have talked and talked about how solid and consistent these X-Factor daughters are and this heifer’s dam is no exception. Study her EPD profile and look at her genetics, it’s all here and bred to the $44,000 half interest Resource with a bull calf inside.

• Due to calve on 1-8-16 to CCC WC Resource 417 P (Ultrasound Heifer Calf) • Here is the only X-Factor bred heifer we have in the sale offering so take advantage and find out just how good these daughters are in production. Her pedigree contains so many of our breeds finest like Wyoming Wind, Duke 914, OW Ashlee, Cigar, Ms Commander B309 and Impressive D040 and bred to calve with one of the first calves by Resource. A full sister sold two years ago for $5,500 and a full sister sold last year for $4,000. There is consistency and profit in these genetics.

Their sire All State has been siring cattle that have been bringing big dollars across many auction blocks. Don’t be concerned about these fall born heifers; they are held over to breed for spring calving, they were not bred on last fall.

Ashlee passed away this summer so the opportunity to get direct daughters out of her will be limited. Ashlee was one of the best cows I have ever laid eyes and has done our operation a superb job with her progeny. This bred female out of the Canadian sire Sanchez offers a unique twist on these genetics. The service sire RF Ledger 439 is one stout Ledger son that we have been impressed with for quite some time now.

Foglesong Charolais Spring Bred Cows The following Foglesong Charolais Lots 40 through 49 were pasture exposed to multiple purebred herd sires including mainly the two reference sires on the following page; Southern Gridmaker 05200 & Southern Easy Pro 01395. These ten (10) cows were pasture exposed to those two herd sires for the first 30 days of the breeding season in the summer of 2015 from June 10, 2015 to July 10, 2015. After that time, these ten cows were then pasture exposed to more multiple sires. All of the pasture sires have DNA on file at AICA and parentage verification will be determined when these calves are born.

This mating should create quite a stir in the Charolais breed. This one needs to go directly into embryo transplant and I’m sure that’s where she will end up. At the recent Polzin Leading Ladies one full sister to Firegirl sold for $30,000, another at $13,000 and a flush in their dam Thomas Ms Impressive 0641 sold for $23,000!!! There is value in this female and her heritage. Her calf’s sire is a son of M6 New Standard 842 P.

• Selling a Guaranteed Successful Flush of at least 7 embryos! • This beautiful brood cow, is one of the only breeding age females to ever leave Lindskov-Thiel Ranch in South Dakota as a bred heifer. She was Abbey Thiel’s choice for a show heifer in 2010 out of all of the entire 2009 born heifers on the ranch, so you know she was special. Abbey took her to the championship spot during the 2010 Junior Nationals in Sioux Falls as Reserve Division Champion. That didn’t seem that exciting then until you realize that two of the heifers she placed over in that division, two months later were the two National Champion Females in Kansas City! Wild Indian Acres added her to their donor program at that point. The dam of this female is an AICA Dam of Distinction and a flush in her sold for $8,000 in the 2011 Charolais in the Rockies Sale in Denver. LT Blue Ballerina 9405 is open and ready to flush immediately after the sale. • Presented by Wild Indian Acres, Mike Kisner, De Soto, Missouri 636-236-0306

He sold two heifers out of that flush at weaning time that averaged $12,000 and then wisely purchased her. During the Utopia dispersal another one of her Quiet Riot daughters topped the open heifer division at $15,000. It doesn’t take a lot of guess work here to figure out that this offering is quite intriguing. • Presented by Wild Indian Acres, Mike Kisner, De Soto, Missouri 636-236-0306

• Selling a Guaranteed Successful Flush in SCR Ms Turbo 7003! • If you want to talk about family values, here is an interesting story. This great donor SCR Ms Turbo 7003 was first discovered during the 2011 Sonderup Charolais Ranch sale when after the dust cleared she sold for $10,000 to top the sale. After she got on the trailer, more deals were struck and she ended up in the partnership of Ridder Farms, Wright Charolais and Wild Indian Acres. All three of these breeders were searching for an outcross donor that they could flush to the popular Fire Water x Thomas Ms Impressive 0641 son Rapid Fire. In one flush, she created a firestorm or a TURBO Storm of success when 8 E.T.s were born. In the fall of 2013 six of her Rapid Fire weaning age heifer calves sold at public auction for; $4,000, $5,000, $5,750, $5,750, $6,500 & $7,500. The only full sib bull born in that flush sold for $7,500 as a yearling. Then in 2014, the only heifer that didn’t get sold as a weaning age heifer went across the block during the Ridder Farms sale to the tune of $12,000! Here is your opportunity for some TURBO power! • Presented by Ridder Farms, Wright Charolais & Wild Indian Acres

ost cattle herds are vaccinated at least once a year and many go through the chute twice or more. It is important to make sure cattle-working tasks are accomplished smoothly and safely, for optimum vaccination/health of the cattle, adherences to BQA (beef quality assurance) guidelines, and safety of the people doing the job.

BQA tips

BQA GUIDELINES AND VACCINATION PROCEDURES -

when Vaccinating Cattle

Dr. Matt Miesner, Assistant Professor, Clinical Ag Practices, Kansas State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital says that it’s crucial to follow proper procedures when vaccinating cattle or giving any kind of injections. BQA standards emphasize that all SQ (subcutaneous) and IM (intramuscular) injections should be put into the neck (ahead of the shoulders), and that IM products should be avoided if possible. Proper spacing should be allowed between injections if multiple injections are given at the same time. If giving large volume products (such as certain antibiotics), no more than 10 cc per IM injection site.

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

N O V E M B E R 2 0 1 5  109

BQA tips Also, make sure vaccines aren’t ruined by improper storage and handling. “Vaccines need to be kept cold and dark— from the place you purchase them, through transport to your place, and until they are used. Even when taking them from the refrigerator in your house to the chute, and at the chute, they need to be kept cold and dark,” says Miesner. “Always use a new, sterile needle for refilling your syringes. You don’t want to put a dirty needle into a new bottle, especially when mixing up a modified-live vaccine. The product should always be going out the needle, and nothing coming back through unless it’s a new needle, or it will contaminate the contents of your syringe.” When using modified-live vaccines that must be reconstituted (adding sterile fluid to the dried vaccine), only mix up the amount you know you will be using up within an hour. “Producers who are working a lot of cattle might use several bottles of vaccine at a time, but you don’t want to mix them all up at once. Cow-calf producers, especially, if they are working cows and palpating as well as vaccinating (and maybe taking time to do look at eyes or teeth) may take longer. It’s wise to buy vaccine in smaller bottles, so you can use up each one within that hour window. If it’s mixed for too long, it can lose effectiveness,” says Miesner. Using 10-dose vials might be preferable to 50-dose vials. Even though it might be cheaper per dose in the larger size, this won’t save money if the vaccine is worthless by the time you are using the last portion of that big bottle. If you are giving more than one vaccine, make sure you don’t grab the wrong syringe when refilling them. “It’s wise to color-code the syringes with tape or label them in some way. If you were to draw another kind of vaccine into the wrong syringe, it could inactivate that whole load. Mixing vaccines probably won’t cause adverse reactions in the cattle, but can certainly make the vaccine less effective,” he explains. Putting a modified-live virus vaccine into a syringe that previously held your 8-way clostridial killed vaccine could inactivate the modified-live virus vaccine. “Even worse would be to grab a syringe that you’d used for giving an antibiotic,

and loading it with vaccine. Things sometimes get crazy when you’re in a hurry or distracted by a problem, and I’ve seen some things like that happen,” he says. Always read labels of the vaccines you are about to use. “Look at expiration dates, injection dose, route of administration, whether it needs to be boostered later, etc. Sometimes the company might change the volume of the dose (several vaccines have switched from 5 cc to 2 cc, for instance) and route,” he explains. Some of the previous intramuscular vaccines are now given subcutaneously. “Fewer vaccines are given IM, but you should always read the label, to make sure, and to know where it’s supposed to go. Knowing what the dosage should be, and making sure you have the syringe adjusted properly for that dose, is important. That particular vaccine may not be the same volume/dose as it was last year,” he says. Many of the changes have occurred to try to comply with BQA requirements—to reduce tissue damage and reactions-giving smaller doses, and giving a product SQ rather than IM. “If you are only vaccinating a few animals, it pays to use small, individual dose syringes. Measuring out 2 cc in a 50-cc multidose syringe or even a 10 cc syringe is never as accurate. With the small syringe, you know you have accurate dosing, and can also use a new, sterile needle for each animal,” says Miesner. That way you can be sure to draw out an accurate dose with a new, clean needle, and eliminate the spread of blood-borne disease between animals, and won’t cause a problem with use of a dirty needle. Nora Schrag, DVM (Assistant Clinical Professor, Field Service, Kansas State College of Veterinary Medicine reminds cattlemen that almost all vaccines have a withdrawal time--a certain number of days you have to wait before the treated animal can be slaughtered for human consumption. “Many vaccines contain a preservative, and this is why they have a withdrawal time on the label. Make sure to observe this, from a food safety standpoint. Some of those withdrawal times, depending on the preservative, is quite long; a few are more

than 30 days. Read the label.” It’s also wise to change needles periodically when vaccinating a large group of cattle, even if the needle you are using is not yet dull or bent. “For a purebred operation trying to make sure they are not spreading any kind of blood-borne disease around, we recommend changing needles for every animal—using a separate, sterile needle for each one. If you have high dollar animals or breeding stock, this is very cheap insurance and not that hard to do. It might take another couple of seconds. It seems cumbersome if you are not used to changing needles that often, but you can become very efficient at it once you get used to doing it. For commercial cattle, we recommend changing every 10 to 15 head.” If you bumped something with the needle, it may have a slight burr on the tip, and isn’t as sharp anymore, causing more pain and tissue damage when you use it. “Every once in a while you get a little blood back into that needle and this will transfer it to the next animal. It pays to change needles, and a person can make a habit of changing needles each time you refill the multi-dose syringe gun. This is an easy way to remember,” she says. If you are filling a syringe from a large bottle that you may not use up that day (a killed vaccine product that will keep longer), use a sterile needle. “It might be a 50 ml bottle of blackleg or some other clostridial vaccine and you are only going to use 25 doses. Don’t go back into that bottle with a needle that’s been in a calf. Use a new needle, or designate a certain needle that you are using only for going into the bottle, and inject the calves with another needle,” says Schrag. Always try to vaccinate into a clean area on the animal. Sometimes when they are waiting their turn in the runway to the squeeze chute they get manure on their head and neck from the animal in front of them. “We want to vaccinate into the triangular area of the neck but sometimes we have to move to the other side (that’s cleaner) or even something different. If the neck is dirty on both sides you may have to put an injection (subcutaneous) under the loose skin behind the shoulder,” she says. “When people rope and brand calves, this is actually an easier spot to vaccinate the calf than in the neck. Someone usually has their leg on the neck, holding the calf on the ground. It’s safer for both the calf and the human to inject over the ribs.” This injection site is not a meat quality issue and the animal will be able to function just fine with the vaccine put into this location. Bottom line; we want the people and the animals safe and healthy, and to not impact the animal adversely.

ANIMAL SAFETY -

“From the animal’s standpoint, adequate restraint is very

important. We need to be injecting into the neck, and if this is not possible in the alleyway, then we really need to be catching them,” she says. “Broken needles are another concern when cattle are not properly restrained and are moving around. It also helps if you are using a very short needle; a short one is less apt to bend or break. You can use a very short needle when giving subcutaneous injections, and most vaccines today are given subcutaneously. We like to use a 16 gauge 5/8 inch needle, which makes it almost impossible to get it into the muscle. It’s pretty foolproof, even if you are vaccinating quickly and the animal moves. It will end up in the right place and that needle isn’t likely to break, because it’s big enough and short enough,” she explains. Another advantage to the short needle is that eliminates the need for tenting the skin. This allows the person doing the vaccinating to keep their free hand out of the way of the needle, even if the cow or calf is moving around. Depending on the vaccine you are giving, however, you may be using different needles. “With some there might be a little bit of leak-back with a needle this large. In this instance you can drop down to an 18 gauge. It all depends on the type of vaccine and the volume being given. For most purposes, however, I really like the 5/8 inch length for subcutaneous injections,” says Schrag. “Some of the reproductive vaccines (like leptospirosis) are still labeled for in the muscle, and then you can go to a 1 inch needle. I like the 1 inch 16 gauge needles because they don’t bend/break as easily as the longer, smaller ones,” she says. If a needle breaks off in the animal, this is a food safety issue as well as a cattle health issue. “If this happens, you need to stop that animal right where it is, mark the spot, and call a veterinarian, and see if they can get it out. If they can’t get it out, that animal cannot enter the food chain,” she explains. Proper restraint is important, to get the vaccine in the right place. The adverse reaction rate to vaccination goes up drastically if people accidentally inject directly into a blood vessel. “The most frequent time we see this is when people are roping and dragging calves, and injecting into the neck of the roped calf. If you get a little too low, it may go right into the calf ’s jugular vein. Just having someone paying attention to this is important. The people vaccinating the calves may start out in the perfect spot and then as things get rolling along may creep down a couple inches. On a little calf, a couple inches can put it right into the jugular vein,” she says. “This can even happen in a chute if the calf is bouncing around and turns his head. You might inject where you normally do, but his neck is now sideways. Just keep in mind that there’s a jugular vein down there at the lower part of the neck and make sure you are staying away from that area,” says Schrag.

The repeat dosing syringes (multi-dose syringe guns) are a little bit difficult to clean but they always need to be cleaned. “A good rule of thumb is to clean them with regular soap and hot water on the outside, and on the inside. If you’ve used a vaccine that’s very thick, take the syringe apart completely and clean it with soap and water, and then rinse thoroughly with clean water,” says Schrag. “You should use distilled water to rinse with, so it won’t leave any deposits or residue from the water. Many people have hard water (with minerals in it) and modified live virus vaccines are very sensitive to mineral deposits and disinfectants. The minerals in hard water will mix with the components of the vaccine sometimes and cause some problems. You also don’t want to clean a syringe with disinfectant and then use it for a MLV vaccine, or the vaccine will be deactivated,” she says. You just want the syringe to be clean. You can use soap and water, and then rinse it with distilled water. “The final step is to boil some distilled water or heat it in a microwave for 2 minutes to get it boiling. Put the recently cleaned syringe back together. Then suck up the boiling water and blow it out the end of the syringe, three times. After you’ve done that, the syringe is not perfectly sterile (not like it would be in an autoclave), but it is very clean, and safe to use to vaccinate cattle,” she explains. “After the syringes are thoroughly rinsed with boiling water, we put them in Ziploc bags to store in a cabinet so they won’t get dusty. Don’t tighten the Ziploc or it will seal dampness inside. Leave it open enough to dry out. Then you can come back in a day or so when it’s all dry, and seal it up. Then we can put that syringe in our treatment box or wherever we will be using it next or storing it until the next use. Then when we pull it out, it’s clean and ready to go,” she says.

What better way to start off the catalog than with the deepest, best set of show and brood cow prospects that have ever found their way into a Wright catalog. This is one of the best show heifers they have ever offered. She is truly special and ready to lead you to the top. She is a full sister to the 2014 American Royal Junior Show Grand Champion Female-WC Rolls Royce 3177 P ET! That victory was even sweeter when you realize that during that junior show WC Rolls Royce defeated the two heifers that later in the day would be tabbed the National Grand & Reserve Grand! Her sire is the popular National Reserve Grand Champion Rapid Fire and her dam is the very consistent Miss Alliance 428. Three of her sons are herd sires in purebred herds and sold for an average of $12,340. During our first production sale a daughter of #428 topped the open heifers and the sale at $7,800 in 2011; at our 2nd female sale in 2012 a Rapid Fire heifer topped the open heifers and the sale at $16,000; and during our 3rd sale in 2013 a full sister to this heifer topped the open heifers and the sale at $12,000. The stage is set, the success has been inherited, don’t go home without her.

A great deal has been written about this genetic combination and more will be in the future. These two full sisters offer you the choice of a fall 2014 and January 2015 show heifer while both having the genetics to become breeding masterpieces in the pasture later in life. Their sire is the 2013 National Champion Bull-Templeton and their dam the renowned Baldridge Sweetheart 7M. Five full brothers to these two great heifers were the hit of the 2014 Wright & Cody Cattle Bull Sale when they went across the auction block at a $12,300 average! One of those bulls was the lead bull of the 2014 Denver Grand Champion Pen-of-Three Bulls and also the 2013 American Royal Breeders Classic Grand Champion Bull and National Show Junior Bull Calf Champion. Two more of those full brothers were members of the 2014 Denver Grand Champion Pen-of-Five Bulls. A full sister to these two heifers was our 2014 National Sale consignment in Denver that brought $20,000. Presented with Cody Cattle Company

Here is another member of the Baldridge Sweetheart 7M cow family and a maternal sister to TWO outstanding herd sires that were members of our Grand Champion Denver Pen Bulls and both sold into progressive purebred operations. Their young 2011 dam has paid her way with style and performance. She is a full sister to WC-CCC Full Metal Jacket that sold for $15,000 in the WC-CCC Bull Sale in 2012 and in use today for WC, CCC and Suttles Charolais. Her first son was the heaviest weaning weight bull ever raised at Wright Charolais in the fall of 2013 when he pushed the scales down at 945 lbs. to ratio 127! He sold to Grace Farms for $8,000. He was a member of the 2014 Grand Denver Pen-of-Five Bulls. Her next bull calf was a full brother to this heifer and was a member of the 2015 Denver Grand Pen-of-Three Bulls and sold for $8,750 in this past springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bull sale to Dybdal Charolais. There is performance and history wrapped up in this outstanding April show and brood cow prospect. Presented with Cody Cattle Company

This future donor prospect has the pedigree heritage to fit right into someone’s ET program after her show career is over. She is sired by one of the most exciting herd sires in not only the Wright Charolais breeding program, but across the nation. The Rushmore sons have created more excitement every year at our annual sale than any other herd sire. In the last three Wright Bull Sales his sons have averaged $11,450! In last year’s sale the top selling bull was a Rushmore son CCC WC Resource 417 that topped the sale at $44,000 and Stalcup Charolais also purchased a son at $14,000 that went on to be the 2015 Iowa & Minnesota State Fairs Grand Champion Bull. Now consider the bottom side of this heifer’s pedigree. A Blue Value daughter out of the powerful Wright donor SCC Miss 3027 ET. Oh, one more thing; Rushmore is a full brother to the dam of LT Ledger! Oops, one more thing; Rushmore, his sire Rio Bravo and Ledger are all 2015 AICA Multiple Trait Leaders. Have I forgot anything else?

Our original footnotes said, you need to pay special attention to this heifer, she will make a great show heifer. Well, then she went out and became a great show heifer! She has already been selected the Grand Champion Heifer over a large number of older show heifers at the 2015 Tulsa State Fair!!! Every once in a while a heifer comes along that is truly special and you know when you see it and this is one! She is sired by the one-half interest WC Up The Limit 1128 that sold for $27,500 in the 2012 WC Bull Sale. His first calf crop produced the high-selling bull in our 2014 Bull Sale when Lindskov-Thiel added WC Sky’s The Limit 3184 back into their herd for $30,000. Six of Up The Limit’s sons averaged $11,375 that same day. Her dam is sired by LT Rio Bravo 3181, a hot commodity in Charolais circles. This heifer’s maternal sister was a Junior National Class Winner for Mariah Kincaid and another maternal sister raised a $9,000 bull in our 2015 Bull Sale.

She may be last of the open show heifers listed in the catalog, but don’t miss her. There is some cash throughout this pedigree tabulation. A 1/3 interest in her sire sold for $15,000 to Suttles Charolais in the 2012 Wright & Cody Bull Sale; a interest in his sire Rocketfuel topped the 1st Wright Bull sale at $25,000; Rockfuel’s dam sold for $12,000, her dam sold for $24,000. Nobody will admit what they have all traded Baldridge Sweetheart 7M around for, but her dam #444 sold at 13 years of age for $14,500. The sire of this heifer LT Rio Bravo sold in 2004 for $15,000, but would sell today for about a million! The dam of this heifer produced WC Going The Distance at $15,000 for interest and is a herd sire today for Wright Charolais and Cavender Ranch in Texas. There is some dollar power in this one!

She was the best milking daughter of Cheyenne Blend they ever had. Two older Blue Value full sisters to this bred heifer remain in the herd.

This Long Distance daughter is out of a very productive female. Derry is particularly proud that she has produced two herd sires for purebred herds since coming to Wright Charolais. Her first son was WC-TNT Apollo 9027 that Testerman Charolais in West Virginia added to their herd as their senior herd sire. The maternal granddam of this heifer Miss HCR Randi 5002 was Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice of the Herd from Hubert Charolais Ranch for $12,000.

Still on these good Long Distance daughters which after A.I.ing were all turned out with WC Total Rush 3044 P, another featured bull in our 2014 Bull Sale in which a interest sold for $10,500 to Maher Ranch in South Dakota & Pro-Cattle in Iowa. That bull has a super low birthweight of 65 lbs. and a -3.4 Birth EPD, combined with an 863 lbs. adjusted weaning weight for one of the largest spreads from birth to weaning we have ever seen! The dam of this heifer also sells as Lot 48.

It’s always interesting to see what Chris saves to put on the back cover of this catalog! Last year it was two JWK Clarice J139 daughters one of which was sired by LT Ledger 0332 and a 1/2 interest in her brings $25,000 and the other sired by Templeton sells for $8,500! This year’s back cover girls will also demand your attention including this joint consignment from Derry & Cody. Take a look at this bred heifer’s EPD profile sired by the breed’s #3 Yearling Weight Trait Leader, the #17 Weaning Weight Trait Leader and the #1 Multiple Trait Leader- M6 New Standard 842. Her dam is the impeccable Baldridge Sweetheart 7M who’s sons in the last two Wright & Cody Cattle Co. Bull Sales have averaged $9,475, most for either 1/2 or 2/3 interest. Get in line sale morning to view this powerful bred heifer. Presented with Cody Cattle Company

And now let’s visit about one more outstanding bred heifer and this one out of JWK Clarice J139 we just mentioned in the footnote above that graced the back cover last year. There is no doubt that these J139 genetics are powerful when you just consider what purebred and commercial bull buyers are willing to spend to add the blood to their herds. In 2014 ten of her sons averaged $11,100 and in the 2015 bull sale eleven sons averaged $11,250! It is nearly impossible to get Derry & Chris to pry loose of the daughters of Clarice, but when I have, the only two have averaged $18,200! Here is one, take your best shot!

NEWS NOTES

AICA MEMBERSHIP Obituary

Harvey Glen Coffman, 83, of Blackfoot, Idaho passed away on September 25, 2015, surrounded by loved ones. Harvey was born on the family farm in Rupert on December 23, 1931, the seventh of eight children to Arthur and Hazel Coffman. He attended school in Rupert where he ran track, played basketball, and started as the high school football quarterback. He married the love of his life, Carole Harris on June 19, 1953 in Pocatello. In their early years, Carole and Harvey lived in Virginia during the Korean War where Harvey served in the Army. Later their marriage was solemnized in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. They celebrated 57 years of marriage before Carole passed away in 2010. In 1973, Harvey and Carol moved to Blackfoot, purchasing 53 acres in the Riverton area for the beautiful white Charolais cattle he had begun breeding. They lovingly named their property Golden Valley Charolais. Over 45 years Harvey became known as an outstanding breeder of bulls and traveled extensively to fairs and cattle show competitions throughout the Northwest. Among the many honors and ribbons he received, the one he treasured most was Best Championship Bull of All Breeds at the Eastern

Idaho State Fair. Besides being very active in the Idaho Cattle Association, he served as the Northwest Charolais Association President as well as on their board. One of his greatest pleasures was sharing his love of Charolais with his posterity and serving as a mentor to many young cattlemen starting their own herds. In 1999, he was one of four Northwest cattle breeders chosen to represent the Idaho Department of Agriculture in a livestock exposition in Durango City, Mexico. There he assisted ranchers, whose livestock herds had been decimated by a long drought, with breeding techniques. Harvey was a dedicated and loving husband, father and grandfather. He and Carole had four children: Valerie, who passed away at birth, Doug (Rose) of Blackfoot; Sheri (Ted) Sharp of Nampa; and Connie (Kurt) Thompson of Blackfoot; and 11 grandchildren; and 17 great-grandchildren. Harvey is survived by a brother, Art (Roberta) Coffman; and a sister, Louise Larson. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Carole; his brothers, Loren and Raymond; and sisters, Rosa Wheeler, Dorothy Burton and Juanita Hammond. Funeral Services were held Friday, October 2, 2015 at the Blackfoot LDS South Stake Center, 900 Riverton Road. Burial in the Groveland Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to the family online at www.hawkerfuneralhome.com.
