How often in your lifetime have you heard U.S. beef exports have increased?

Behm Herefords: Common Sense, Family Ties, Purposeful Work

Believe it or not, the U.S Meat Export Federation recently issued a report stating beef exports are at an all time record level in “volume and value.” This is of particular interest since the U.S. cattle supply is very tight right now.

In years past, we considered beef exports primarily in terms of pounds exported so I find it interesting they are tagging it as volume and value. Nevertheless, it’s good news for the beef industry. As producers, however, we always wonder if the good news really applies to those of us out in the country raising cattle. According to an article in BEEF’s online magazine, the statement means these increases are “adding more value to U.S. beef cattle and providing markets for products not currently used in this country.” Those international markets for beef variety meats boosted exports by 15% in 2022 compared to 2021, accounting for $1.24 billion of the total $11.68 billion in U.S. beef exports. John Hinners, senior vice president of industry relations for the U.S. Meat Export Federation, says, “Beef exports add nearly $450 per head of fed slaughter value. Global export value is up 10% from the previous record and nearly 40% above the previous five-year average.”

Total U.S. beef exports in 2022 hit 1.47 metric tons. The top eight importers of U.S. beef include South Korea, China/Hong Kong, Taiwan,

Ron Behm’s father John was still a teenager when he started farming in 1929; his mother had to cosign a loan to help him rent the farm.

“My grandfather went through bankruptcy in 1927,” Ron said. “The family had moved from one rented farm to the next; my grandfather spent too much time in the pool halls. They had farmed a particularly poor, sandy quarter one year, and after they sold the crop the family had only $200 to live on through the winter.”

Ron recalled commenting to his father on how tough starting out in 1929, the year the stock market crashed, must have been.

“It kind of irritated him,” Ron said. “’We didn’t lose anything in the stock market crash because we didn’t have anything to lose,’ dad told me, rather irately.

“They had five milk cows and two teams of horses. Of course the 1930s were dry, so they went a couple of years with no

crops. Dad’s first two crops went to pay his dad’s debts to the elevator on advance grain sales which he never delivered. They didn’t have the money to buy coal, so they would stoke the wood cookstove with ash wood at night, and in the morning the water in the reservoir would be frozen.”

With time, hard work and persistence, the family gradually got ahead. John married his wife, Ethel, in 1947, and they raised their six children on their farm near Burlington, North Dakota. Hereford cattle played a key role in their business.

“Dad started raising Herefords in 1944,” Ron said. “When dad passed away in 1987 he had put together a fair sized farm, and mother lived on the farm until she passed away in 2016, just a few days short of her 98th birthday. Two of my brothers and I farm in a partnership, my brother, Russell, who is a veterinarian, owns cattle with us, and my son, John is also involved.”

Common sense wisdom, investing in quality cattle, and a family working together have been the building blocks for the Behm operation. Ron gained a lot of wisdom from his father, and from the many farmers and ranchers he’s done business with over the years, and John says that he has four of the best mentors and teachers in all of North Dakota to learn from.

Common sense wisdom, investing in quality cattle, and a family working together

have been the building blocks for the Behm operation.

“I went to North Dakota State University for one semester and then came home to the farm,” John said. “Dad was having a hard time coming up with hired help and said he might have to sell the cows. I didn’t think that was very feasible for my future so I quit college early. I have no regrets.”

Ron, too, quit college to come home to the farm, and he joked that between himself and his brothers they have one hundred sixty years of combined experience running the farm.

Ron and his wife Arlene raised their four daughters and son on the farm. Becky,

“When they were little they had to milk cows, deliver calves, and doctor sick animals,” he said. “They did it all. One time when Becky and Christy were in about the first and third grades we had a calf that was down and bloated. I sent them to put a tube down him and they got the air out all by themselves. The calf lived. I thought that was pretty good for a six year old and an eight year old!”

Arlene is also a registered nurse, and Ron acknowledged that it is more likely that his daughters took after their mother.

“Arlene could do about anything; when we first got married she helped with the cattle as much as possible,” he said. “She is a true partner, always in it for the long haul. She worked damn hard, taking care of the kids and working nights; she burned the candle at both ends. I don’t care what time it was when I came in at night, even if it was one o’clock in the morning she was still up and had a warm supper waiting for me. Our girls are just like their mom, they are good nurses, good mothers and have good marriages. I’m blessed. We have twenty-three grandchildren and two on the way. I would like to see some of them on the farm someday.”

Ron says that as he and his brothers are all nearing retirement age, John is the driving force on the ranch these days.

“It’s a team effort,” John said. “My dad and my uncles Jerome and Vern are all very involved with the farm, and my uncle Russ who also owns the Minot Vet Clinic is also a lot of help with the cattle side of the operation. Russ’ wife, Pam, helps with the cattle at branding time, taking pelvic measurements on replacement heifers, and pregnancy testing in the fall of the year. We wouldn’t be able to run the numbers we do without the Herefords’ good disposition. They are so easy to work with. I love Hereford cattle.”

John and his wife Brittny, who is also a registered nurse, married in 2018. Brittny works with an orthopedic surgeon in Mi-

not, but she also helps in the calving barn and runs a baler.

“We have a son, Art, and a daughter, Ethel, and we’re expecting our third child in September,” John said. “Our kids like to help with barn chores, and Brittny and the kids spend numerous hours driving tractor in the summer evenings helping haul hay after she gets home from work. It’s great family time spent together!”

Ron says there are no excuses for keeping poor quality cattle in the herd, no matter what breed you raise.

“If you’re not keeping at least 20% of your heifers, you’re not doing your herd justice,” he said. “My dad was a good cowman but not as good at judging cattle

as my son John is. John is good at knowing pedigrees and judging livestock. He’s a better cattleman than I’ll ever be and I remind him of that regularly. It might be hard to send a cow down the road, but as we saw with these drought years, if most commercial producers got rid of the bottom 10% of their herd, on sale day they probably wouldn’t even know they were gone.”

Through the years, the family has bred mainly Line 1 cattle. In previous years, they bought a lot of bulls from Ken Baker

and Fawcetts. Currently, Coopers, Holdens, and L Bar W are their main sources for genetics, along with some good bulls from Van Newkirks, Strohs and Melcher Herefords.

John said that one goal is to get their steers to look as uniform in the spring as possible. They background their calves and sell most of them by the potload in the spring. They have also started selling a couple of potloads of very nice replacement heifers to Melcher Herefords every year. Ron is thankful for the relationships he has built with other producers in the region and beyond.

“When you look across North Dakota and the surrounding states, we have one heck of a lot of good people here,” Ron said. “They are just the salt of the earth, and those friendships built over a lifetime are priceless.”

“If anybody is thinking about raising Herefords, I highly recommend them,” John said. “Hereford cattle have great dispositions which in the long run saves you time to be more productive at other tasks.”

Still, John says that the biggest reason he gets up in the morning and goes to work is his family.

“If it wasn’t for my wife and kids I wouldn’t be doing this,” he said.

Seeing another generation of the family living and working on the farm is very important to Ron.

“When dad passed away my mother was very insistent that the farm was going to continue on and it did,” Ron said. “Of all the goals I’ve had around raising livestock and grains and making the farm successful, the biggest goal I’ve got is to pass this farm down to the next generation so that it will go on in the family.”

Ron says it’s discouraging to see someone’s cow herd sold in a dispersion sale, and a farm that one family built dissolve and scatter about like leaves in the wind. He has seen too many farms get sold or rented out when one generation passes away.

“The next generation doesn’t always have the grit or the finances or the drive or the want to carry on,” he said. “It’s too easy to find a job. It’s also very, very cost prohibitive to get started farming these days. When you look at the cost of a basic line of equipment and land costs — whether farm or pasture — it is pretty easy to end up with a couple million dollars of debt. Young people starting out now have it tough.”

Ron is hopeful that in their case the farm will stay in the family, and he and his brothers have worked hard to build on what their parents started. The Hereford cattle have been part of the place since the beginning, and Ron is passionate about continuing to raise high quality commercial cattle. He says he sometimes takes it personally when people make derogatory

comments about Herefords, because the cattle have done so much for his family.

“My parents experienced a lot of tough times,” Ron said. “We still do; just in the last few years we’ve had to deal with Covid, drought, and high production costs. How many cattle does it take to pay the bills, to buy a truck, a tractor, or a piece of land? Every rancher has a different program but at the end of the day it has to be profitable, or it won’t be sustainable.”

When Ron was 21, a man he worked for told him that a lot of people go broke breaking even. He took that advice to heart.

“So many people farming and ranching have the mentality that they are doing okay if they broke

even,” he said. “They might not be in the red ink, they certainly aren’t in the black ink. One thing you’re not figuring when you break even is depreciation on your body. Every year we figure depreciation on our machinery and our livestock but not on ourselves. When you look at a man’s lifetime, if you spent the productive years of your life just breaking even it is sobering.”

Ron considers his family to be his greatest blessing.

“If it wasn’t for John I wouldn’t be

calving cows out now, much as I love my cattle,” Ron said. “My wife and girls have also been very involved in the ranch. I’ve been blessed. We have built our farm with the help of Hereford cattle; you can do the same with any breed if you work at it.”

the Philippines, Singapore, Colombia, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic.

According to the article, the three largest export markets for 2022 were South Korea, Japan and China/HongKong. New markets were added in South America, the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Dubai with exports to Canada and Mexico remaining strong.

“What’s so exciting for the beef industry is we have added that much value in 2022. Customers around the world continue to demand and buy our product,” Hinners says. “We will never be the cheapest, nor do we want to be, but we have so many stackable attributes with our product — branding, supply of a variety of cuts, impeccable food safety, and one of the best stories in the world as far as commitment to our livestock.”

There are a lot of factors that affect sale prices at the rancher level so I found these statistics interesting and positive. We know there is good demand for beef worldwide as well as in the United States especially since the return to good comfort food in 2020!

The nation’s cowherd is the lowest it has been since 1962. As of January 2023 it was down 4% from last year. The U.S. calf crop was estimated as

2% lower than 2021 and cattle on feed were down 4% from 2022. All this is according to the USDA.

In their March 17 Cattle on Feed report, Cattle and calves on feed for the slaughter market in the United States for feedlots was 4 percent below March 1, 2022.

The drought in a large area of the United States coupled with an increase in feed costs are driving factors in this decline. Parts of Kansas, Nebraska, Texas and other states remain dry. We hope and pray they get rain this spring.

Another bull sale season and publishing season has almost come to an end for us but we will be back in August with our September issue. We have a few more sales in April and one in May that we will attend. Look for coverage of those on our website and in the September issue.

It’s been a season for the record books, that’s for sure — crazy weather and bad roads but some great sales which we hope will continue. Overall quality of the cattle has been excellent which has made it a fun, although exhausting sale season.

Have a great spring and summer.

Obituaries

Philip Woodbury George

Philip Woodbury George, beloved husband, dad, papa & great grand-papa, as well as respected stockman & proud WW II veteran, passed away peacefully & ascended into eternal life, while in the presence of family, on February 12, 2023, at the age of 101. He was welcomed at the Gates of Heaven, by his parents & three siblings, as well as many cousins, extended family & friends.

Philip was born on September, 14, 1921, in the family home where he grew up, on Sunbyrne Farm, located along the county line road between Osage & Coffey Counties, east of Lebo. He was the second eldest of four children born to Frank Jackson George & Harriet Edith George (nee Woodbury), which included older brother, Frank Jackson, Jr, younger brother, Howard Douglas & younger sister Eleanor Louise.

Except for a brief time when the family lived in Garden City, KS, where his father worked as a receiver, settling the accounts of insolvent banks in Southwest Kansas during the Depression, Philip grew up on the family ranch & attended the one-room Elmwood country school. During his youth, Phil & his siblings were all active in 4-H, as well as being fully engaged in all aspects of the family livestock operation. After graduation from Lebo High School in 1939, Phil enrolled at Kansas State College of Agriculture & Applied Science (now, Kansas State University) & was a student there for two years during the early portion of World War II.

Phil had never seen & didn’t know anything about the sea, but in late August, 1942, just before his Junior year in college & just before the report date listed on the draft notice he’d received,

he reported early & enlisted in the U.S. Navy. His decision to join the Navy was in part, because he didn’t think he wanted to be a “foot soldier” & in part, out of respect for & to honor his close friend & high school classmate, Harold “Skinny” Spatz, who had joined the Army Air Corps right after high school, and had volunteered for Doolittle’s Raid on Tokyo, which resulted in him being captured, tortured & ultimately executed, after his plane crash landed in occupied China.

During World War II, Phil served in the Pacific Theatre, where his first assignment was on the air craft carrier USS Intrepid. After the Intrepid was torpedoed at Truk Lagoon & returned to port for repairs, Phil was assigned to Torpedo Squadron 17 on the air craft carrier USS Hornet, where he was the gunner, in a three man crew (with the pilot & radioman), on a Grumman TBF Avenger, torpedo bomber. During WWII, Phil was involved in multiple significant battles at Marshall Islands, Truk Lagoon, Iwo Jima & Okinawa, which included sinking the Japanese Battleship Yamato. Phil flew over 25 missions, including missions in early 1945, that were the first flights to return to targets over mainland Japan, after the Doolittle Raid in April of 1942. As a result of his combat service, Phil earned numerous awards, including the Air Medal, Gold Star, Distinguished Flying Cross & Presidential Unit Citation.

After the end of WWII, Phil returned to Kansas State, where he competed on the livestock judging team. Phil received his degree in Animal Husbandry from Kansas State in May of 1947, then returned to the family ranching operation near Lebo.

It was during this post-war return to Kansas State that Phil met Julia Frances Gardner, a young coed whose family owned a livestock operation south of Hartford, KS, in south Lyon County. Phil & Julia were married at her parent’s home on June 12, 1949, just a month after her graduation from Kansas State, with a degree in Home Economics.

Before their wedding, Phil purchased the Elmwood school building, the oneroom school house where he’d attended elementary school, then moved a mile up the road to a spot near the house where he’d grown up & converted it into a residence. That converted oneroom school house became the home where they forged an abiding partnership, centered around faith, family & operating the ranch, a partnership that lasted the next 73+ years. That home was where they raised their family, including three sons, Jay Gardner, Philip Dana & Vern Woodbury, and daughter, Frances Ann.

Phil devoted his life to his family, to the family ranch & to the community. He was a 4-H leader, a Sunday School teacher & served the community in a wide variety of volunteer leadership positions, as a board or committee member over the years. He was a lifetime member of the Lebo United Methodist Church, a member & later leader of the Blue Ribbon 4-H Club. He was a member of the Key West Grange, the Flint Hills Hereford Association, the Coffey County Democrats, and was an especially proud member of American Legion Post #323. Following his return from WWII and continuing until his death, Philip had the honor of carrying the United States flag for the Lebo American Legion color guard, including at Lebo’s annual Memorial Day ceremony and also at the 4th of July Parade, where he rode horseback.

As a rancher & stockman, Phil devoted his life to raising quality cattle & quarter horses, and to being a good steward of the native prairie grass pastureland entrusted to him. An expert horseman, he worked cattle with a good horse & a little patience, and he remained actively engaged in the day to day operation of the ranch up until just the last couple of years. Even in recent years, it wasn’t uncommon to see him sitting straight up in the saddle as he rode his horse to check pastures or move cattle, almost daily.

Phil was an avid baseball fan & grew up following the St. Louis Cardinals,

Kansas City Monarchs, and also the Kansas City A’s. He never missed a Royals game on the radio & he celebrated his 100th birthday by attending a Royals game as a guest of his Wingert cousins.

In later years, Phil became engaged in a role as a local historian, speaking at schools, sharing stories & information with younger generations about their ancestors, as well as, about his experience during World War II. He felt a strong responsibility to recognize the sacrifice of all those who had served our country & he embraced the opportunity to share their stories with future generations.

Philip was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Jackson & sister-in-law Margie, as well as their daughters Patricia Koons & Cynthia Simmons, his brother Doug & sisterin-law Roselyn, his sister Eleanor & brother-in-law Bob Pasley, his father & mother-in-law, Samuel Ray & Emilie June Gardner, sister-in-law, Annie Cunningham & sister-in-law, Virginia Gardner. He is survived by his wife, Julia, son Jay, Lebo, KS, son Phil & wife Lynna, Winslow, AZ, son Vern & wife Eileen, Denver, CO, daughter Frances Forbes & husband Chris, Bradford, PA, grandchildren, Tyler George (Jessica), Lebo, KS, Emilie Clarke (Collin), Margaret Gurley, Russell George & Tucker George, all of Denver, CO, Jackson George, Whitefish, MT, Julia George, Mission, KS, Madelaine Kimerle (Joseph), Lawrence, KS, Mitchell Forbes (Ashley), Lincoln, NE & Truman Forbes, Bradford, PA, and great-grandchildren, Samantha & Harper Gurley, and Barrett, Declan & Graham Clarke, as well as brother-in-law Gordon Cunningham, Goshin, IN, brother-in-law, Dan Gardner, Harford, KS, and numerous nieces, nephews & cousins.

Memorial contributions, if desired, may be made to The Benefit of Lebo Youth in c/o Farmers State Bank of Aliceville, P. O. Box 66, Lebo, KS 66856; Lebo American Legion, or a charity of the donor’s choosing.
