The President's Pen

For those of you I have not had the pleasure of meeting, I would like to introduce myself. I was raised in the Clearwater area. My wife (Lexie) and I purchased a homestead near Wellington a few years ago. I am blessed with five children: Allison (22), Trenton (19), Taylor (19), Evan (7) & Kolt (2). My operation is not yet large enough to support the family, so I do work off the farm in the finance department for a small company. I would not be able to raise a family and/or cattle without the support and guidance of my parents (Tom & Jane). Dad also worked off the farm until he was able to “retire” about 20 years ago. I think he works harder now farming/ranching than he did before his prior career retirement. Dad & I own specific/individual cows, but we run our cattle together as one herd. We expose over 150 females annually after we AI heifers and most purebreds. Our herd count is close to half registered and half commercial. The bulk of the herd is spring calving (May), with a small group of fall cows. I have just ended my second term on the KAA board as an At Large Commercial member. It has been a great experience, and I have met a lot of wonderful people. You all do amazing work and should be proud of the great product you produce. It has been an honor to be on the KAA board and very humbling to be the president this year. Please feel free to cuss and discuss with me any time you like. I hope each of you have a successful calving season and productive year. Remember to take enough time every day to let loved ones know how much you appreciate them. Also, be sure to appreciate the small blessings in life. Thank You, I look forward to serving the KAA as your 2022 president,

Notes & News from Anne

Looking Ahead Sale Day

Between late night calving checks and winter chores is the day some might call the most important single day of the year— sale day. For the seller sale day is pay day, the day that you can showcase your countless hours spent on mating decisions, selection, studying production records, writing footnotes and marketing along with everyday chores that lead up to the day when customers show up at your ranch to purchase seed stock. Sale day is day to celebrate the confidence customers show in your program. For the buyer, it is a chance to add valuable genetics to your herd as well as an opportunity to visit with fellow producers. There are many “sale days” across the state of Kansas within the next 3 months. The calendar on page18 lists over 40 sales being hosted by KAA members touting a variety of genetics that are sure to fit the goals of registered and commercial producers. In addition to the dates on the calendar, many KAA members offer bulls and females for sale private treaty throughout the spring. Those looking for herd bulls and replacement females need not look further than the progressive, reputable Angus seedstock producers in Kansas.

Biggest Show on Dirt

Young and old members are looking ahead to hosting the Biggest Show on Dirt- Powered by Kansas in Kanas City, Mo, July 2-9. Committees were formed last summer; fundraising efforts began in the fall and we are now in full planning mode. I’d like to extend a personal invitation for you to get involved. During the week of the show, many volunteers are needed, whether you can help for a few hours, a day or the whole week you are welcome and needed, please reach out to me for ways you can help as a volunteer or financial supporter.

11 th ANNUAL HERBSTER ANGUS FARMS BULL AND FEMALE SALE YOU CAN'T PAINT A MASTERPIECE BY NUMBER. A rigid map. Labeled colors. A fixed system. With an ONLY BY THE NUMBERS project, a whole segment of the creative process is taken away and success is hindered. Only the uninspired art remains. What happens if colors are mixed and lines are disregarded? A MASTERPIECE is made! Unfortunately this static, BY THE NUMBERS approach is running rampant in the Angus business. The blatant disregard for IDEAL phenotype and function is dying. That ideology is DEVALUING great cattle just because the numbers aren't in vogue. At Herbster Angus Farms, we use EPDs as a tool, but let the ACTUAL PERFORMANCE DATA and the animal's PHENOTY PE do the talking. We fixate on SKELETAL STRUCTURE, MILKING ABILITY, EFFICIENCY, GROWTH, and FERTILITY to name a few. These are things that can't be defined by a numerical value; however, they must be observed accurately. Break out of the number trap. Discover how our genetics can produce your next masterwork at the Herbster Angus Farms Bull and Female Sale on APRIL 11, 2022!
