Greetings Hereford Breeders

by Sally Wingler, Tennessee Hereford Association President

Ihopeeach of you had the happiest of holidays, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I wish all of you peace and joy in your heart, safety, and good health. Please be especially grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Tennessee Hereford Association.

With the year 2022 now in the rear-view mirror, it is a suitable time for us to stop momentarily and take a look backward. A long, hot, and dry summer is finally passed and gone, the fall season is history and winter arrived on time in Tennessee with a sub-zero Arctic blast. Nevertheless, with the arrival of calves we can see the rewards of all our hard work over the past year. Cows were bred with the hope of the next great-one being born ------- if everything works in our favor. The year, 2022, was a very chaotic and trying year for cattle producers and everyone involved in agriculture. High input costs, hot temperatures and at times little to no rain made it extremely difficult for everyone. We all know that this is just how it is in agriculture. We face adversity in all facets of the industry and unfortunately, some years more than others. Yet, we continue to work hard and survive from year to year because each one of us has a passion for the industry. We would not change a thing about the life that we have chosen.

As we enter the winter show season, we look forward to once again reconnecting with friends and meeting new ones as we travel across this great nation. These shows give all of us the opportunity to highlight the work and dedication that we have all put into our operations to produce the best product that we can, and hopefully they are well received. Also, it gives us ideas about things we can do better, like which bull we need to try for the next breeding season. We all like to be competitive and take a banner home with us from a major show, but the true benefits of exhibiting are the relationships we develop and the information that we receive from each person we take the time to visit with. I always look forward to seeing old friends and making new friends as I travel to shows and other events representing Tennessee and the Hereford breed across this great nation.

I have a few words to pass on from the national scene. Jim Coley was recently elected to the board

of directors of the American Hereford Association. Sally Wingler is president-elect of the National Hereford Women. Bethany Mansfield now serves the National Hereford Women as secretary. Libby Rushton in her maroon jacket continues her role as membership chair on the National Junior Hereford Board. Jaclyn Aiken Tennessee Hereford Queen represented our state at the National Queen Contest in Kansas City where she was selected Miss Congeniality by contest peers. Also, Jaclyn Aiken, Allie Harrison, and Mary Carter Shirley along with Libby Rushton represented Tennessee Junior Hereford Association at the Faces of Leadership Conference this past summer in Billings, Montana. As I sat down to write this article, I was watching the Supreme Drive of the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City. While watching the supreme drive bulls I would like to congratulate Land Slinger 2296 1046 on being named the National Champion Polled Hereford Bull. Land Slinger was the 4th overall bull at Cattlemen’s Congress. I would like to congratulate the owners Walker Polled Hereford, Dry Creek Farm, Dirt Road Farm, Jernigan Farm and Landgren Ranch of Nebraska. A big shout-out to all these Tennessee Hereford members both adult and junior who are at work for the Hereford breed on the national level. Safe travels and a very blessed and happy 2023 to all!

You and your family are invited to the 2023 Tennessee Hereford Association Annual meeting. Friday,

What’s Your Marketing Plan?

by Mitch Ingram

One of the strongest attributes of the American Farmer and particularly cattle producers is the ability to diversify. Diversification comes in many forms but marketing our products, like any other industry, may be one of the most important forms. Today there are many avenues to market our cattle, but one thing is for sure; the only wrong marketing strategy is; No Marketing.

The first item we have to identify is what we are marketing and who our audience is. Are we marketing feeder calves, bulls, replacement heifers, recips, frozen genetics, a production/consignment sale offering, show heifers/steers, commercial cattle, freezer beef, or various combinations? When it comes to freezer beef, is it grain-fed, grass-fed, natural, or organic? The overriding truth is that most operations have a little of all of these and we have to use different methods of selling our cattle based on the situation.

A huge misconception is that marketing is too expensive and never pays off. Studies show that for every $1 invested in marketing an extra $2 is generated for the seller. There are many cheap and free methods of advertising.

Production Sale- For larger producers that offer enough cattle, there is nothing like a production sale on the grass of the home farm. Obviously, these sales require investment, creative marketing, and a large amount of labor to be successful.

Consignment Sale- For many of us that do not have the volume for a production sale, consignment sales are a great avenue to partner with fellow producers to market a handful of cattle and share sale expenses at various locations across the southeast. We are blessed in our region to have several consignment opportunities for Hereford cattle.

Word of Mouth- Never discount word traveling from ear to ear to market your cattle. We just have to “spread the word”.

Classifieds in the Newspaper- Yes believe it or not this is still effective, especially in many local news publications, and for the most part still inexpensive.

Flyers/Business Cards- Old School but impactful. Bulletin Boards at Coops, Feed and Farm Machinery Stores, County Fairs, and County Meetings are a great way to distribute information about what you are selling. Never underestimate how many people take a brief moment to look these types of publications over.

Printed Publications- Although advertising in publications and magazines may seem pricey, the important thing to remember is the vast audience these publications reach; not only at the state but on Regional and National Levels. You can also choose the size of the ad to assist in feasibility.

Off the Farm- One of the most powerful ways to sell cattle to a customer as long as animals are advertised. This method creates the largest chance of a return customer and friendships because of the hospitality shown. Sale barn/Stockyard- One of the oldest and still important avenues to market feeder cattle and cull less productive stock. Today, there are many sales with special health protocols and replacement heifer/stock cow sales offered that generate a premium for these markets. We need to continue to support our local sale facilities and utilize the Tennessee Hereford Marketing Program to receive a premium for our cattle.

Branding- Not just the hot or freeze kind. Name recognition is as vital as the quality of your product regardless if is it your farm logo/name, hats, grain or grass-fed beef, Black or Red Baldies genetics, or the niche market associated with your operation. Brand discovery from online sources comes through social media 52% of the time. There are many resources today to assist you in designing high-quality logos and ads. Developing your brand can be an excellent opportunity to get the next generation of farmers involved in your marketing processes.

Digital Marketing- In a world of digital creators and influencers, this is new ground for many of us but one of the most powerful and fastest ways to reach an audience. They say a picture (or video in the current world) is worth a 1,000 words, but a good high-quality picture or video is worth 10,000 words. No picture is better than a bad picture and not all nature and wed-

ding photographers are cattle photographers. Picture preparation is vital, the cattle should be clean, clipped, in good body condition, and photographed in an area that looks appealing.

On-line classifieds- Often free or inexpensive, Craigslist and other online classified platforms are a great way to share your offering with a good picture or video. This can be especially effective in expanding smaller local markets that may not have access to printed publications or production/stock barn sales.

E-Mail- With a quality picture or other attachments and a strong list serve of addresses, e-mail is a great way to market your sale cattle, freezer beef, or any other products instantly and cheaply.

Websites- A farm/ranch website is a great way to tell your personal story and control the narrative plus market livestock even with the capability of online payment. There are several free and fee-based platforms to customize your website as well as professionals to maintain it. One of the most important factors to a website is keeping current and up-to-date information on it. Nothing more frustrating than to go to a website and be 2 years out of date. Most website companies all give valuable data on the usage of the website.

Online Auctions- Originated by the Livestock Marketing Association for stockyards this has evolved into being able to sit in the comfort of your own home or barn, hundreds of miles away, and bid on livestock. In today’s world, it’s almost imperative now that all live auctions offer this option. Producers can offer a small number of cattle for sale online with a deadline and a horse race finish hosted through a 3rd party company.

Social Media- The form of media we love to hate, but don’t underestimate the power of the scroll!! Farmers can create their brand strategy through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube, or blogs. This will enable them to use a story format while reaching a mass audience, particularly through Twitter and Facebook which now has over 4.62 billion users. Internet users are expected to spend more than 1/3 of their internet time on social media. Social media-based influencer recommendations help 49% of consumers decide what to buy–and around 80% of consumers have purchased something after seeing it recommended by an influencer. Personalization, consistency of posts, and quality pictures and videos are the drivers of making social media successful.

Again the only wrong marketing strategy is no marketing strategy at all!

Q&A with AHA Board Member Jim Coley

by Kathryn Ingram

Jim Coley of Coley

Herefords in Lafayette, Tennessee was elected to the American Hereford Association Board of Directors in October 2022, at the AHA Annual Meeting. Jim and his wife Kay currently maintain a 50-cow herd of predominately Line One Herefords on the original Coley homeplace. The Coley’s are third generation Hereford Breeders. Members of the Coley family have been advocates for the Hereford breed at local, state, regional, and national levels since 1938. Jim has served the Tennessee Hereford Association in many different capacities over the years. His strong worth ethic and enthusiasm for the Hereford breed will now provide benefits for the members of the AHA. I was able to ask Jim about his experience running for the AHA board and his new responsibilities.

What motivated you to run for the AHA board of directors?

I am a candidate because of my love for Hereford Cattle, Hereford Breeders, and my desire to contribute to the future of the Hereford Business.

What was your favorite part of the experience?

Getting to meet AHA members from all over the country and learning about their cattle and their ideas about how to make our cattle and our association better.

What are the responsibilities of the AHA Board of Directors?

The Board is to give direction to the Executive Vice President and staff of the AHA about how it operates and the direction it is headed.

What committees will you serve on this year?

I will serve on the Marketing/Communications, Hereford Publications, Member Services, and the Hall of Fame/ Merit Committees.

What are you looking forward to the most during your time on the board?

Learning more about how our association operates, getting to know fellow board members and other breeders that I have the opportunity to meet.

Are there any specific goals you hope to accomplish within the organization?

I hope to have a positive influence on the direction of our breed. Another key focus is to help the AHA to influence Hereford breeders to select genetics that makes our bulls better tools for commercial breeders.

What’s a Good One, Anyway?

by Kathryn Ingram

What’s a good one? A question that has been asked many times in the past and will continue to be asked in the future. The definition of a “good one” has changed over the years. For example, from the 1950s to the 1980’s the size of cattle went from small to tall. Industry trends will continue to change the definition of an ideal beef animal. The consumer is the driving force behind many of these changes.

The shift in frame size in the 1970s and 80s was due, in part, to consumers demanding leaner beef. When determining what a good one is, you should first look at what the consumer wants. The customer at the meat cooler determines our profitability as an industry. If we cannot meet their needs, they will look to other protein sources.

The customers’ top demands are for a steak that is tender and flavorful, according to a survey on the Beef Its What’s For Dinner website. Producers can help meet this basic demand by using carcass EPDs and data when choosing their next bull or female. This tool is a game-changer for promoting Hereford bulls to commercial cattlemen. We can produce bulls that will provide hybrid vigor without sacrificing carcass quality.

However, we must remember not to go down the road of single-trait selection. The cattle of the 1970s-80s were tall, but in the race to increase frame, other production traits were ignored. The American Hereford Association provides seventeen EPDs and three indexes to help determine the genetic potential of an animal. While one trait may be more of an emphasis for you than others, remember that all these numbers contrib-

ute to making productive stock. A good one will have balanced EPDs across the board and be free of genetic defects.

Phenotype is still important in picking a good one. Even if the EPDs are great, it is still not a good one if their feet and legs are not going to hold up. Sound structure is essential for purebred cattle. We need to produce stock that will work long-term for our customers. With that in mind, we are raising beef cattle, and muscle is required.

Historically, Hereford cattle are known for their foraging ability and docility. These traits are the foundation for the popularity of the Hereford breed. They also contribute to being a good one. No one goes to the sale and picks out the poor-conditioned animal as their favorite. Animals with depth of body and spring of rib are easier to feed. This is especially important with current feed prices. Docility sells bulls. No one wants to work with animals that are high-strung or dangerous. Maintaining docility needs to be an emphasis on selection.

A good one will have to combine phenotype and genotype that will consistently produce quality breeding stock and a product that will please the beef consumer. I will leave you with the first lesson I was taught on the UT livestock judging team a long time ago. Gregg Upchurch said that if in doubt, remember that “Pretty beats Ugly.” I know that being stylish and clean-fronted may not improve carcass quality, but it is hard to say it is truly a good one if it’s ugly!

Stith Inducted to Hereford Hall of Merit

KANSAS CITY, Mo-.

Dale

Stith, Mays Lick, Ky., was inducted to the Hereford Hall of Merit Oct. 22 at the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting and Conference in Kansas City, Mo. Hall of Merit inductees have greatly influenced the Hereford breed and cattle industry.

Dale took an interest in cattle at a very early age under the tutelage of his father, Ralph, who was an accomplished herdsman that managed the 250 polled Hereford cows on their farm in Stith Valley. Dale attended cattle shows and sales with his father beginning at the age of six. His early interest in the cattle business sparked a lifelong, passionate career in the Hereford breed.

Dale is a master marketeer and has been a passionate promoter of the Hereford breed for most of his life. Dale’s original post-graduation plan was to teach high school agriculture classes. However, when one of Dale’s mentors, A.W. “Ham” Hamilton, was preparing to retire, he encouraged Dale to attend auctioneer school. The class was two weeks long and Dale graduated in January of 1975. He auctioneered for the first time at the Kentucky Hereford Association’s annual meeting, selling directory advertisements. In the years following, Dale spent his time selecting cattle, auctioning cattle, photographing cattle, and assisting breeders. His loyalty to the Hereford breed, cattle marketing skills and cow sense would propel him to become one of the prominent auctioneers in North America.

Dale has worked with Hereford breeders big and small from coast to coast and all across Canada. He is a mentor and friend to many and has an unmatched passion for Hereford cattle.
