The President's Pen Let me begin by thanking everyone for this opportunity to serve an organization that’s been an integral part of all of our lives for many years. If we haven’t yet met, I’m a veterinarian and Angus cattle rancher living in Southwest Kansas. I grew up in Larned, KS, helping both my father in his vet practice and my grandfather in his commercial cow/ calf operation in Protection, KS. I have practiced vet medicine in a mixed animal practice for 32 years and am fortunate to have 2 other veterinarians to share the workload. I am also currently involved in a registered Angus operation with my parents, Dennis and Shirley Huck, my wife, and my 2 grown children and their spouses and children. We’ve held a production sale for the past 7 years. My family includes my wife Kara, an assistant principal for Dodge City High School, our son Brady, his wife Cara, their children Cassius, Camden & Carson, our daughter Mara and her husband Clint Goebel, & grandsons Bennett & Bowen, all of whom reside in Dodge City, KS. Darin, Kara and Brady manage the herds, while Clint manages the farming for winter grazing. Brady and I try to manage the bulk of the herd work, but everyone definitely pitches in throughout the year and during sale season. It has been fun watching the grandkids become more involved with the chores. As I write this, we have just started calving, have just received our first substantial snow, and seem busier than ever, which is all great news. I am looking forward to trying to attend more bull sales this year and hope everyone has a successful sale season! Best wishes,

Notes & News from Anne Snow Day As I write this, we are a few weeks into the into the New Year and I couldn’t be happier to say we have a ‘snow day’ in western Kansas. About 8 inches of wet, windless snow fell on our ranch that had received just over three inches of precipitation in 2022. I’m hopeful it’s the start of breaking the drought and we can look forward to spring grass.

Understanding Female Reproduction Accelerates Positive Momentum in the Cow Herd
American Angus Association partners with IMI Global
Latest Angus University webinar discusses improving fertility and overall income.
For today’s cattle producers, it is more important than ever to be able to differentiate their cattle in the marketplace. Two of the leading third-party verification companies, IMI Global and the American Angus Association’s AngusLinkSM, have joined forces to create an improved experience for those cattle producers, while offering more value-added opportunities.
Everyone wants cattle that breed easily, calve early and display good reproductive performance. Though this may sound simple enough, how do cattlemen achieve those things simultaneously?
Strategic collaboration drives profitability for independent cattle producer
Through this new relationship, IMI Global will be providing the verification services for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Process Verified Program “I’m a big fan of a concept called ‘positive (PVP) for IMI Global and AngusLink customers. The collaboration makes it momentum’ because I believe really good reproductive success this year easier and more efficient for producers to access an extensive suite of ensures really good reproductive success next year,” said Dr. Bob Larson, verification programs and the feeder cattle industry’s leading genetic merit evaluation tool in one enrollment. a veterinarian with the Beef Cattle Institute at Kansas State University. During the Angus University webinar, Keys to Reproductive Success: Female Edition, held Dec. 13, Larson shared tools and practices to help cattlemen achieve optimal success in their cow herds.
“With tightening margins, the need for producers to differentiate their cattle and create market access with flexibility is key. At the same time, the value of superior genetics has never been greater,” said Mark McCully, Association chief executive officer. “These two market drivers are creating tremendous opportunities for producers to describe and verify their cattle.”
One way to achieve this goal is to benchmark a producer’s current situation and compare it to a desired plan. For example, a producer with an eight percent open rate might set a goal of Larson’s ideal open rate of five Now available to IMI customers, the AngusLink Genetic Merit Scorepercent. This allows for a significant increase in earned income as earlier cardSM gives producers the ability to effectively communicate the genetic calving cows leads to heavier weaning calves and a faster rebreed winpotential of their feeder calves to prospective buyers with three scores: dow. Beef, Feedlot, Grid. The scores are calculated based on the Association’s extensive genetic database with more than 80 million datapoints. Larson also described the difference in reproductive success for first-calf heifers. To meet the constraints of having an 83-day period for cows to In addition, AngusLink customers will also have access to IMI’s new susrebreed and calve at the same time next year, Larson recommended heiftainability standard, CARE Certified, which encompasses Animal Care, ers calve ahead of cows for their first calf. To help ensure heifers reach Environmental Stewardship and People & Community, which are all of puberty at the right time, he advised assistance from your veterinarian. “It growing importance in today’s marketplace. Other PVP claims available is important for veterinarians to really evaluate the heifers to make sure include AngusVerifiedSM, Source, Age, Non-Hormone Treated Cattle each individual heifer and the group as a whole can reach puberty in time (NHTC), Verified Natural Beef and more. to get bred a little ahead of the cows,” Larson said. He explained how the onset of puberty is primarily influenced by age and weight within breeds. Which leads to a common question, what is the appropriate target weight? “The real question is, what ration should I feed heifers to result in the desired number reaching puberty by the desired date,” Larson said. He emphasized again how working alongside a veterinarian and nutritionist helps producers answer those questions.
IMI Global, a division of Where Food Comes From, Inc., is the market leader in third-party verification services enrolling over 1.25 million cattle annually in various verification programs. American Angus Association is the leader in To dive deeper into Dr. Larson’s presentation, visit bit.ly/ DecemberAUrecording.

Larson reiterated for producers to achieve this success in their operations, they must avoid the primary threats to positive momentum. These threats include having heifers who don’t calve ahead of cows, calving in thin body condition, bulls that fail to successfully breed cows and diseases ending pregnancy. Avoiding these issues promises potential for success year after year. ►
“This working relationship streamlines the process for producers by making it easier for them to enroll in all verification programs at once while also allowing them access to programs they may not have had before,” said John Saunders, IMI Global chief executive officer. “This partnership proves that everyone involved is prioritizing innovation and collaboration in order for cattlemen all over the country to achieve success.”

Kansas Junior Angus Association Hello fellow Angus breeders!
First off, I want to thank everyone who made it to the Annual Banquet in Hutchinson. On behalf of the Kansas Junior Angus Association, we would like to thank every person that bought or bid on a t-shirt spot! Your support and generosity do not go unnoticed, and it is greatly appreciated by our juniors. Speaking of our juniors, we had a tremendous turnout for the Kansas Angus Futurity show with more than 55 exhibitors and 103 head in the show. It was exciting to have out-of-state exhibitors representing three different states. Additionally, it was wonderful to see new faces and welcome those families into our Association. I can still remember my first Kansas Angus Futurity show when I was 7 years old, mostly because it entailed a head butt to the face, trip to the ER, and a missing front tooth! However, I did not let that stop me from attending every Futurity show since. It has been humbling to watch juniors that I once mentored grow up and become role models and great leaders themselves. The Kansas Junior Angus Association molds these young people into outstanding individuals and I am proud to be a part of such a stupendous organization.

Angus Foundation raises $15,000 with sale of CAB Barn Painting Funds raised at Angus Convention will benefit the Angus Foundation’s mission. The Angus Foundation raised $15,000 with the auction of a highly desired Certified Angus Beef (CAB) barn painting at the 2022 Angus Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. The painting was auctioned at the annual American Angus Association® Awards Dinner and Reception Sunday, Nov. 6 and was purchased by Gardiner Angus Ranch of Ashland, Kansas. Funds raised will help further the Foundation’s mission of supporting Angus education, youth and research. In 2018, CAB celebrated 40 years in business with the “Brand the Barn” campaign, painting 40 barns belonging to Angus breeders in 25 states across the country with the Certified Angus Beef ® brand logo. In response to the campaign, many Angus enthusiasts joined the wait list to have their own barn painted. The Foundation offered breeders the unique chance to skip the line and proudly represent the brand on their operation. “We’re incredibly thankful for the Angus family’s support of this offering from Certified Angus Beef,” said Jaclyn Boester, Angus Foundation executive director. “The generosity of the Gardiner family will help continue the Angus legacy and is an investment in the future of our breed.” CAB will commission artist Troy Freeman to brand the Gardiner Angus Ranch barn and will also provide $1,000 to host a celebration event in conjunction with the barn painting. Funds raised will support a variety of programs including educational opportunities for breeders, leadership development conferences for Angus youth and groundbreaking industry research.

American Angus Association concludes a strong FY 22 2022 signals strong demand for Angus cattle, beef product.
The American Angus Association® concluded a successful fiscal year, packed with member-wide comradery and industry-leading advances. The year marked the eighth-consecutive year of more than 304,000 registrations, with an additional 141,385 recorded transfers. The fiscal year, which concluded September 30, tallied a grand total of 22,488 regular and junior memberships combined. “Angus breeders have completed a successful year, despite many challenges with weather and rising input costs,” said Mark McCully, CEO of the Association. “Angus females averaged $6,023 last year and bulls averaged $5,909 signaling that Angus genetics are very much in demand.” Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI®), a subsidiary of the Association, continued to plant themselves at the forefront of the industry to help breeders achieve their goals and serve as the trusted industry source of advanced genetic solutions. Boasting 1.229 million animals with profiles in the genetic evaluation, a 10% increase in profile tests and 13 ongoing research projects, AGI plans to keep the momentum heading into the new year and to new heights. In efforts to provide tools to enhance breeder success, the Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR®) program transitioned the Hair Shed expected progeny difference (EPD) from the research environment to a production EPD, due to the hard work of Angus breeders who diligently collected data. The EPD aims to help breeders find animals best genetically equipped to handle hot, fescue-filled environments. Additionally, AHIR continued to promote the importance of complete cow herd data through its Inventory Reporting program, enrolling 97,271 head from 768 herds. The Angus MediaSM team created The Angus Conversation and Angus at Work podcasts to provide on-the-go information for Angus breeders and commercial cattlemen. Found anywhere you listen to podcasts, the episodes feature a variety of guests who discuss everything from technology and breeding philosophies to marketing and traditions. With its goal of providing cost effective and quality marketing services to Angus breeders, Angus Media helped foster 34,000,000 online sale book page views and 3,500,000 email marketing sends. The Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB) brand affirmed its quality standard with another year of exceeding consumer expectations. A combined focus on genetics and management led to a 35.5% brand acceptance rate. More than 5.78 million carcasses were certified and CAB marked 1.234 billion pounds sold. That’s an impressive 3.4 million pounds of CAB sold per day and the entity worked with more than 18,000 licensed partners in 54 countries this year. With the value of Angus cattle consistently increasing, the Association continued its Powered by AngusSM advertising campaign. Combating the “black-hided confusion” in the marketplace, the campaign illustrates the confidence cattlemen can put in the power of EPD data, documented pedigrees and marketing programs with the purchase of registered Angus. The Angus family continued to pour their support into the Angus Foundation’s mission of education, youth and research. With a record-setting $1.4 million in donations, each cent will impact the lives of Angus generations to come.

Celebrating 150 Years – Angus Foundation honors a legacy built with Annual Fund Campaign encourages breeders to continue the Angus legacy. In 1873, a Scottish, Angus breeder named George Grant came to America with the dream to build a legacy — a legacy that went on to make a lasting impression on the beef industry. Grant, a forward-thinker, brought the first Angus bulls to the prairies of Victoria, Kansas to cross with native Texas longhorn cows, producing calves that would service well on the winter range. The results demonstrated the Angus breed’s initial value in the United States. The legacy is still being built 150 years later through the Angus Foundation. To honor and celebrate the breed’s history and future, the Angus Foundation is launching the “A Legacy Built” campaign. The campaign asks every member to give $150 to the Angus Foundation, earmarked to the Angus Fund, to build unrestricted donations for Angus programs. “Through the “A Legacy Built” campaign, the goal is to reach all American Angus Association® members, big or small. With $150, we can continue building a legacy with the Angus Foundation’s mission of advancing education, youth and research,” says Jaclyn Upperman, executive director of the Angus Foundation. “Whether it’s a one-time donation or a monthly occurrence, members of any size can contribute a lasting legacy to the future of the Angus breed.” To be a part of “A Legacy Built,” members can donate through the Angus Foundation website at www.AngusFoundation.org, mail a check to the Angus Foundation or pledge support during events. George Grant took a risk bringing four Angus bulls to America. Little did he know the legacy he built would last 150 years. Let’s make 150 more. Members interested in participating in the program can learn more at the Angus Foundation website or contact Jaclyn at Jboester@Angus.org. _Written by Jaclyn Boester, Angus Foundation

Beef Industry Panel Shares Insight on Future Challenges and Opportunities Perspectives from all sectors were discussed in the panel at the 2022 Angus Convention Cattlemen and women from across the United States work in different sectors of the beef industry, deal with different environmental issues and have different business strategies. But at the end of the day, all farmers and ranchers work toward the same goal; to continue raising and selling the best beef possible. Raising top-quality beef comes with both barriers and optimism. During the 2022 Angus Convention first general session, Exploring Your Potential, five Angus breeders and industry experts spoke on a panel with Mark McCully, American Angus Association® chief executive officer, as the moderator. The panel took place November 5 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The panel included the following backgrounds and per spectives: Jerry Connealy with Connealy Angus; Mark Gardiner with Gardiner Angus Ranch and U. S. Premium Beef; Ed Greiman with Greiman Brothers and Upper Iowa Beef; Joe Goggins with Vermillion Ranch and Northern Livestock Video Auction; and Matt Perrier with Dalebanks Angus. Big opportunities lie ahead for the industry, the panelists said. Perrier spoke about the importance of influence and the next generation. Greiman discussed how vital it is for producers to continually improve quality so packers can find new ways to add value to the carcass. The type of supplies and increasing packing capacity brought excitement to Goggins, and Connealy shared his perspective about the value of Association tools. “It’s full circle. The American Angus Association provides the tools, and you guys [producers] have obviously done a tremendous job using those tools making a premium as demand has gone up,” said Connealy. “But there is still upside that we can get better. We can always get better.” Vertical coordination is also an answer to improving the beef industry while avoiding vertical integration said Gardiner. He defines vertical integration as an entity owning things from the cut of beef all the way to the genetics. “The only way we keep that from happening, in my opinion, is through vertical coordination and passing that information, building those alliances, sharing and being transparent with whoever it is we sell product to and with who they sell product to,” said Gardiner. Perhaps the biggest challenge, the cattlemen said, is ensuring that beef industry profitability is spread over all segments of the industry. In the past, when one segment made money, the others lost it —the “skin thy neighbor approach,” as Gardiner put it. The panelists talked about the value and quality of Angus beef creating more profitability. Perrier mentioned a quote from John Stika, Certified Angus Beef® president, who said the only new money in the beef industry comes from the consumer. If that is the case, we must ensure there is opportunity to make money through consumer demand, said Perrier. Increasing consumer demand also means increasing consumer trust, which Connealy said is the most significant barrier to the industry’s future success. If we don’t do the right things, or represent our cattle and our industry correctly, consumer trust could drag us down, he said. Pull-through demand for Certified Angus Beef® is key. As long as we can keep that, he said, “We will come out on top. I am confident in that.” The group’s morale was bullish as they considered environmental and economic factors influencing profitability of producers in the coming years. Considering the market’s improvement and opportunity, the group also recognized the effect rising input costs will have on cattle prices. Greiman discussed how producers should use the tools and resources available to them as prices swing. Risk management was a tool discussed as well as a genetic hedge—or the ability to protect yourself through the use of good genetics. The Angus breed is positioned well to help with that, Perrier said. “We have one breed that can do what we do from an end product, growth standpoint and yet still have a pasture full of females that are going to make the producer money.” As the Angus breed and beef industry work toward a successful future, the panel reminded attendees how everyone is facing the same challenges and opportunities. Regardless of size and shape, there is room for success and probability of cattle producers.
