Editors Point of View Kathryn Ingram

onsignment sales are a great marketing opportunity. Especially for producers that do not have the numbers to support an annual production sale. This platform gives producers the chance to not only sell cattle that day, but to build a reputation and customer base for the future.

It has been my experience that a consignment sale can turn into a “Tale of Two Sales” within a sale. Some consignors leave happy and others leave mad, sad, or just confused. Preparing cattle for a sale requires meticulous planning and some hard work. Auctioneer Dale Stith penned this issue’s feature article titled “The Dos and Don’ts of a Consignment Sale. He called before he began working on the article and asked if he could be blunt in sharing the information. I told him to be as blunt as he wished. This is a must read if you currently consign, are new to consignment sales or think there is a chance you may ever participate in this type of sale.

I enjoyed visiting with other producers at the Tennessee Beef Agribition. It is exciting to hear how the THA has helped improve feeder calf marketing for both commercial and purebred Hereford producers this year.

Increasing the demand and price for Hereford and Hereford cross feeder calves is a win-win situation for purebred producers. Not only do we enjoy the premi-

um feeder calf prices, but we also increase the demand for Hereford bulls. The highlights of the Tennessee Hereford Association Annual Meeting, including our “Family of the Year”, are on page 6.

The juniors should have a full itinerary this summer.

The Junior National will be held in Louisville, Kentucky and the Southeastern Regional is in Fletcher, NC. These shows offer juniors many activities beyond exhibiting livestock. Competitions such as speech contests, livestock judging, and quiz bowls are also available. Check out the full list for the junior national and southeast regional.

I know many of you have noticed the increased social media presence of the THA. Michael Coley has taken an administrator role in the THA social media pages.

He is doing an excellent job. Thank you for your hard work! *This newsletter was finished in mid-March. The last week has been surreal. Store shelves are empty, schools are closed, people are being laid off from work. We are definitely traveling uncharted waters. The impact is being felt by everyone.

Multiple sales and events have been re-scheduled. I pray that by the time this reaches your mailbox we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

New Feeder Calf Marketing Service Creates Opportunity for Hereford Cattle March 5, 2020, Kansas City, Mo. Contact: Diane Meyer, dmeyer@hereford.org

ereford producers will have access to more marketing outlets for their feeder cattle thanks to a new partnership between the American Hereford Association (AHA) and S= Cattle Co., a cattle-buying business owned and operated by Nolan Stone and based in Eaton, Colo.

Through this partnership, AHA field representatives will locate and source Hereford-based feeder cattle to be marketed through Stone, with the aim to increase marketing avenues for commercial Hereford producers — and drive additional value for the breed.

“The American Hereford Association is excited to announce this innovative partnership with a long-established expert in sourcing and feeding high-value feeder cattle. Combining Nolan Stone with our talented field staff, we gain momentum in driving more value for Hereford and Hereford-based genetics,” says Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president.

AHA field representatives and Stone will also help locate backgrounding opportunities for feeder cattle and will organize locations across the country to pull

small loads of cattle to get them weaned, vaccinated and sorted into marketable, uniform groups.

A fifth-generation native Coloradan, Stone says he is looking forward to working with the Association to identify valuable, readily available Hereford-cross feeder cattle across the country. With nearly 20 years of experience in the cattle feeding business — 12 of which were spent as the general manager at the Five Rivers Kuner Feedlot — Stone sees opportunity for Hereford genetics in the marketplace, particularly with the premiums associated with baldy calves. “[Herefords are] great cattle, increasingly productive, and obviously they have the maternal traits that made the Hereford breed famous,” Stone says, adding that first-generation (F1) Hereford crosses offer a valuable crossbred advantage because Hereford genetics differ from other breeds.

According to Stone, genetics are important when it comes to feeding cattle profitably. Coupledwith a good vaccination program, cattle that perform

THA Annual Meeting

THA Annual Meeting Highlights

T

he THA Annual meeting on Friday evening was a time of fellowship, information and good food! The group even got to sing Happy Birthday to Bobby Singleton. The meal was excellent, featuring Certified Hereford Beef prepared by the Trousdale County Cattlemen’s Association.

The Stan East family of Rogersville, Tennessee. was recognized as the family of the year. The East’s will be highlighted in our Summer THA Newsletter.

Bobby Singleton gave a sale update. He was excited about the increased use of social media for this year’s sale. He reminded everyone that marketing is a must to sale our cattle. He pointed out that social media is free and we need to take advantage of it.

Jeremiah Malone and Richard Brown of TLP spoke with the group about the Hereford Influence Feeder Calf Sale. The decision to move the timing of the fall sale and the additional advertising produced great returns. The 2019 fall sale had a record number of calves. The group sold well above market average. Mr. Brown encouraged Hereford breeders to continue offering input and suggestions to improve the sale. Jeremiah encouraged the group to support the sale, stating that this is our best tool not only to market our feeder calves, but to improve the demand for Hereford bulls.

Joyce Ashe, President of the Hereford Women of Tennessee, encouraged all of the women to join the association and help support our juniors. The Hereford Women help sponsor the Tennessee Hereford Queen program and funds a $500 scholarship for a Tennessee Junior each year, Mrs. Ashe then introduced Libby Rushton, the 2019 Tennessee Hereford Tennessee Hereford Newsletter • Spring 2020 • 6

Queen and Hereford Women scholarship recipient.

Miss Rushton expressed her gratitude to the group for their support and encouraged other young ladies in the junior association to take advantage of the queen program. She highlighted her experiences and memories of serving as an advocate for the beef and Hereford industries. One of her favorite parts of being Queen was to be the “smiling face” that offered encouragement to junior members at shows and other junior functions.

Libby is also the President of the Tennessee Junior Hereford Association. She spoke about the success the TJHA had enjoyed at the past Junior National. She encouraged the juniors to participate in the upcoming Southeast Regional show this June in Fletcher, North Carolina and the Hereford Junior National that will be held in Louisville, Kentucky this July.

Tommy Coley, our AHA Hereford field representative, delivered association updates. He informed the group that new EPDs were being developed for traits such as hair-shedding. He also mentioned a new feeder calf marketing opportunity that is available through a new partnership with Nolan Stone.

This will allow producers to market full loads of calves directly from the farm.

The evening concluded with the election of four directors. Russell Crouch of McMinnville, was elected to serve the remainder of David Parker’s term. Jeremiah Malone, Lawrenceburg, Stan Webster, Chestnut Mound, and Sally Wingler, Christiana, were re-elected to serve three year terms as directors. Jeremiah Malone of Lawrenceburg will continue to serve as your THA President and Mike Rogan of Rogersville will be your Vice President.

Dos and Don’ts by Dale Stith

The “Dos and Don’ts” of a Consignment Sale……..

Observations by Dale Stith, Auctioneer and Sale Manager

W

hen someone tells you the “dos and don’ts” of a particular situation, they advise you what you should and should not do in that situation. Many of the following observations should be obvious to most, but perhaps will help some in making a stronger presentation with their sale cattle, resulting in a more rewarding price.

The “Dos” Plan ahead! Select your sale cattle early…… several months in advance of the sale. We typically know which sales we are participating in and the dates well over a year in advance.

This allows you to have time to feed them long enough to get them in optimum body condition to sell well. Feeding a little for a long period is more efficient than feeding a lot for a short time. Thin cattle never sell well.

Once selected, worm and treat for lice. This needs to be repeated perhaps several times between selection and the sale. This is the most economical money invested in sale cattle and allows them to look thrifty and have a natural shine to their coat.

If the cattle are breeding age, get them bred early and to A.I. sires if possible. It is imperative to have cattle pregnancy checked and guaranteed safe in calf when sold as being bred. Selling them “too close to call”, exposed to multiple sires in a narrow window or not having them bred when the calf is 3 months or older produces negative returns.

Professional photos or none at all. A good photo tells people to come to the auction.

Poor photos tell them to stay home and not waste their time and money. Many breeders

Tennessee Hereford Newsletter • Spring 2020 • 10

think they can become photographers with their cell phones. That’s like me thinking I’m a country music singer just because I can auctioneer.

So.....if you are going to take professional photos then you have to get prepared. You need a place.....photo pen with no ugly background! Then if grass is growing ......it needs to be mowed like your lawn.

Picture pen needs to be cattle friendly..... some place where they are used to or at least you can introduce them to prior to the photo experience.

One of my favorite comments from breeders after a photo experience is ....”well they have never acted like that before”....my reply....”well they have never been in a photo pen before.”

Most breeders don’t know what to do in the photo pen....why would the cow know what to do???

EPDs……all sale cattle need EPDs in order to maximize value. GE-EPDs are even worth more and the horned/polled test is becoming more and more important. Call the American Hereford Association and ask for someone in records if you don’t have EPDs on your cattle.

This contact person will help you with what you need to turn in to be compliant.

A week or more before the sale start feeding your cattle in feed pans and watering in either buckets or tubs. Why would you expect the cattle in a strange, noisy environment to immediately take to eating and drinking from strange containers.

Very few sales provide lot numbered ear tags so……. Cut all old tags out of the ears and replace with a tag that matches the lot number in the sale catalog. Most consignment sale facilities don’t have chutes, so this needs to be done at home.

OCV…….I highly recommend that you officially calfhood vaccinate all heifer calves for

brucellosis even though your state or your vet may say it is not required. It is required by many buyers or they won’t play! There are still several states that require this and if you comply you potentially broaden your market.

Health papers - Be sure you have a health paper for interstate shipment that meets the sale/state requirements. If you don’t know the requirements, please don’t call the auctioneer or sale manager……..this is a vet’s area and every state vet’s office has a toll free number your vet can call and ask for the health requirements for interstate shipping to the state hosting the sale and states in the area.

Please remember the cattle may leave the state hosting the sale and the buyer’s state trumps all others.

Clipping and washing……I’m sure all of you clean out and wash your car before you take it to a dealer to trade for a new one. Presentation is one of the most important parts of selling anything.

Even if you have to hire this done, it will pay dividends the high majority of the time.

The “Don’ts” Don’t sell ANYTHING “YOU” wouldn’t buy……..There are stockyards on every corner for culling your inferior product.

Don’t sell old cows, cows with bad udders, bad feet, bad eyes, fertility issues.

Cows without a calf……..human nature says ……she must not milk very well or the calf would be here. Even if this is not true most buyers feel this is a “buyer beware” situation.

When cows have their calves with them we not only see how good of a job they do but also can judge the quality of the cow’s udder.

Cows over 5-6 years old……….how many of them do you go out and buy?

Footnotes…….PLEASE be explicit!

now. Provide the person doing the catalog with the bull’s complete names and better yet also the registration number of the bull.

“Presentation is one of the most important parts of selling anything.”

A.I. breeding info……how this is written is one of my biggest pet peeves……

For example, most folks send in something like…….Bred A.I. to “John Henry”…..Bred implies pregnant……unless you want to stand behind this make sure she is bred!

A.I. serviced on March 10, 2020 to John Henry…….now no implied pregnancy so the buyer can’t come back and say you sold the female pregnant when that is not what you said. You only said she was serviced.

The full name of the bull also applies to A-Lot calf info. We need sex of calf, tattoo, birth date, full name of sire as well as birth weights.

The Take Home Message Jim Davis, Terrace Farms from North Carolina says he has heard me say many times……“If you do the Don’ts and not the Dos then Don’t expect to get premium prices.”

For example ……bred to Hometown……..HUH? There must be at least 100 bulls with that name Tennessee Hereford Newsletter • Spring 2020 • 11

President Comments Jeremiah Malone

I

t was great to see everyone at our Tennessee State Hereford Association Meeting. Getting to see old friends and new faces is what keeps our membership strong. Tennessee Hereford Breeder’s had a lot to be proud of this year.

We had another Great Tennessee Hereford Association Agribition sale! I would like to thank Bobby Singleton for a wonderful management job again! I would also like to thank Tommy Coley for the job he does for all the exhibitors! This sale will continue to be as good as the cattle you bring to it. The quality of the sale starts with you.

We Americans have some uncertain times ahead of us right now. The cattle business has seen its share of ups and downs over the last 5 to 6 years.

None of us know what tomorrow holds! I feel COVID-19 may not be the biggest challenge for some of our long time farms, but for the rest of us it certainly could be the biggest event we have ever gone through.

Saturday, August 1, 2020 1284 Stage Coach Rd. Sewanee, Tennessee 37375 Tommy (815) 988-7051 Kim (815) 988-2243 stores have also sparked an increase in our freezer beef sales locally around the state.

Prayer is what our country needs most of all! Like 911, Americans are coming together in uncertain times.

COVID-19 dominates the news but it doesn’t have to dominate us. Increased beef sales at the grocery Marketing, continued from page 5 predictably are most desired. Recently, the AHA reported a 20% increase in growth traits and an impressive 150% gain in marbling in the last decade.

“I think there’s a lot of order buyers out there, a lot of ways to market your cattle, and I try to focus on doing what I say: Making sure the cattle fit the descriptions that we provide to the buyers, and trying to get the best price for the seller and trying to find what the buyers want.”

The end goal is to create more options for producers, Ward says.

“Cattle across the country are continuing to get better.

This opportunity will allow producers to more easily market those feeder cattle to buyers who value quality Hereford and Hereford-cross genetics,” he says.

To learn more about options for marketing your feeder calves, please contact your regional AHA field representative, found at Hereford.org. #### S=Cattle Co. is licensed and bonded through the Packers and Stockyards Division of the United States Department of Agriculture.

ETPHA

ETPHA Annual Meeting

by Kathryn Ingram

The East Tennessee Polled Hereford Association held its annual meeting on January 13, 2020. Carlton Norris and Tim Shope were elected to serve three year terms as directors.

Mike Rogan was elected to serve the remainder of Dean Littreal’s term as director. The directors elected Kathryn Ingram as President, Mike Rogan as Vice President, and Susan Mottern as Secretary-Treasurer for 2020.

The main item of business after the election was a discussion to limit the number of lots for the ETPHA sale. After much discussion a motion was moved and passed to limit the number of lots to 50.

I would like to say a special thank you to Dean Littreal of Madisonville for his time and service to the association over the past 12 years. Dean served as a director and chaired the sale committee. His dedication and work helped increase membership and participation over the last decade.
