“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success”- Edward Everett Hale. Recently, I saw this quote and it instantly reminded me of what life is like for the Nebraska Angus Association and anyone involved in agriculture. Our members the Angus breeders, feeders, advocates, and those who are passionate about the Angus breed keep the Nebraska Angus Association moving forward in the correct direction for our future generations. I want to say thank you for your commitment and helping us work towards success.

With that being said the Association just wrapped up their busiest time of year. The Nebraska State Fair, Husker Harvest Days, and the Nebraska Angus Tour were a time of representation and with public gatherings back to normal it was nice to see familiar faces and make lots of new ones. On behalf of the Nebraska Angus Association, we want to thank all the State Fair exhibitors, those who displayed at Husker Harvest Days, and the tour participants for attending and helping advocate for the business breed. Coming up on December 3rd will be our annual Nebraska Angus Queen competition with the newly added Princess competition. This competition will be held at the Younes Convention Center in Kearney, Nebraska, starting at 6 PM (CT). During the competition there will be a welcoming ceremony with introductions, a dinner, interviews, and a presentation by the candidates on why they want to be the Nebraska Angus Queen or Princess. Crowning for the next reigning royalty will take place during the Nebraska Angus Association banquet, which will be held December 4th at the Younes Convention Center. On December 4th the Nebraska Angus Association annual meeting will take place with a banquet to follow. This year the meeting will include educational opportunities for our members with presentations from speakers in different areas of the beef industry. The meeting will end with a recap of the 2021 yearly activities, budget, old and new business, and election of new board members. Please mark your calendars to attend. The Association seeks your participation to help ensure we are meeting the expectations of our members. Following the meeting will be a social and banquet where the Producer of the Year is awarded, Heifer Raffle Scholarship winners are announced, the 2022 Nebraska Angus Royalty are crowned, a semen auction for the Nebraska Junior Association, a silent auction for the Nebraska Angus Auxiliary, and more! Please see page 26 for more information. Registration is due to the office by November 26th. As I move forward to the last planning of the year for 2021 it is crazy to think how fast the year went by. Before long you will be turning in spring sale advertisements and prepping for the upcoming calving season. I hope these next few months are prosperous and that you can continue to come together, keep it together, and work together. As always if the Association can help with anything please do not hesitate in reaching out.

T
he great success of the Angus breed and the enthusiasm for our members was evident by the success and attendance of the 2021 Nebraska Angus Tour. From the first annual Nebraska Angus Tour golf outing to the final stop we were blessed with beautiful weather and great company. The tour really highlighted the value of Nebraska Angus cattle and the prominence that Nebraska Angus breeders carry. At this time, I would like to give a big thanks to the producers that displayed on the tour as well as the sponsors of the tour. We had wonderful sponsorship participation from many of our industry affiliates as well as many local businesses and cannot thank them all enough. Also, a big thanks to everyone that helped advertise for the tour and those that worked hard getting sponsorships, it took a lot of hard work from our members but in the end, it was a huge success. The 2021 Angus Convention is just around the corner and I strongly encourage our members to attend. There are a number of great educational opportunities, access to industry information, and the opportunity to share information and ideas with Angus Breeders from across the nation. One of the most important parts of the National Convention is the annual meeting of the delegates. Our members should feel free to contact our elected delegates to make your opinions known as well as bring any issues you feel deserve attention to light. The national convention and the meeting of the delegates is an important part of strengthening the character of our national association and to make sure that what is best for the Angus Breedand its membership gets done.
At the state level things have been a whirlwind from the National Junior Angus Show and Husker Harvest Days to the Nebraska Angus Tour this year has really gone by fast. Nebraska Angus producers have had a fantastic year both in the show ring and also with many 6 • Nebraska Angus Association News • Holiday Issue • 2021

successful production sales already in the books. To finish off a full year of Angus events members are meeting as well as the banquet to be held in December. At the annual meeting state Association business will be conducted as well as the election and and officers. As this year draws to an end, so does my term as President. I would really like to say thank you to our membership for giving me the opportunity to serve. It has truly been an honor and a privilege to serve as President of the Nebraska Angus Association. Also, I am thankful and humbled to have been able to serve with such a great board of directors that have been supportive, passionate and demonstrated great enthusiasm for the Angus breed and the organization. A big thanks also goes out to Margo Lehn for all of the hard work and planning she puts into each and every event and activity, it is greatly appreciated. Best wishes to everyone with all of your Fall and Winter activities and good luck to everyone with upcoming sales. This year as President has flown by but it is a year I will never forget. If there is ever anything that I or the Association can do to assist you please don’t hesitate to contact us. I hope everyone has a great rest of the year, a joy filled holiday season, and a blessed start to 2022.

Jerry Connealy AAA Director
Dear Nebraska Angus Friends,
H
ope all is going well for everyone!
I recently received a thoughtful letter from an Angus Association member who made some excellent points about how we address specific traits. In his comments, he listed the following as his unscientific observation for why most cows are culled by commercial producers: 1. Open 2. Structure - feet and legs
In striving to achieve the best genetics for our customers’ success, we all need to understand the importance of abolishing the label of convenience traits (something nice to have) and instead employ the term foundation traits (of great importance and necessity.) We are all creatures of habit, and our vocabulary reflects that. In order to change attitudes and perspectives, let’s all make a concerted effort to utilize the term ‘foundation” for these traits. Perhaps that small descriptive change will help to emphasize what is truly important when making genetic decisions that will yield greater economic success for the commercial producers.
3. Bad or (shot!) udder 4. Disposition
All the best to everyone, and if you ever have any questions, feel free to contact me.
5. Poor performance of the calf His argument is that in our industry, the above reasons are referred to as offshoots of “convenience traits” when, to the commercial producer, they are anything but. He suggested that these are not convenience traits, but FOUNDATION traits. These characteristics encompass what we should all see as primary economic influencers for cow/calf producers: fertility, structural soundness, udder quality, disposition, and performance.

NE Auxilary President Speaks By:
Heather Smith, NE Angus Aux President
Happy Fall!
N
ow that the first days of fall are upon us, the relief of cooler weather has finally arrived. I just hope it lingers long enough, for us to enjoy the beauty of the colors changing before we jump right into colder temperatures. Many of you are in the fields picking the bounty of your efforts. I hope that you are all blessed with a plentiful harvest. This summer we saw things seemingly getting back to normal. State Fair was held, and that was a nice event. Our farm, SC Cattle was fortunate to display during Husker Harvest Days. The crowds were there, the weather was wonderful, and it was just plain nice, to be out there enjoying visiting with Angus enthusiasts, and people in general. Looking forward into winter, I am praying for weather that we can all deal with, and not feel to beat up after the fact. Hopefully, those of you who are utilizing the National Angus Auxiliary Certificate of Achievement, were
successful in getting that filled out. Again, it is a tremendous opportunity, and someday will serve as a record book, when your child is a senior, and applying for scholarships. If you have any questions about the programs offered, please feel free to contact any one of the Nebraska Auxiliary members, or any of the Junior Angus advisors, I’m sure any of these folks would be more than happy to help. The next time that we will all have the opportunity to get together, will be in December during the Annual Angus Banquet. I am personally looking forward to that, as it is one of my favorite times of year, and Margo always puts together a fun and entertaining event.
Until then...... Best regards,

Hello Angus Friends!
F
all has officially started with many busy things going on such as harvest, weaning calves, and moving cows to stocks. I'm excited to be writing my first article as the new Nebraska Junior Angus Association President and I am looking forward to what the rest of my term has to offer. Nebraska had an outstanding time at Junior Nationals and was represented very well. Nationals were held on our Nebraska soil this year in Grand Island. The theme of the Show was “The Grandest Show” and was held July 1017. A big thank you goes out to all the Nebraska producers who donated and helped put on a truly amazing event for the Angus Juniors across the country.
Facebook page at Nebraska Junior Angus Association, and watch for more details. The juniors will also be having our annual semen auction fundraiser in conjunction with the annual banquet. The show is always a good time to see friends and work with cattle that have not been shown yet. During this weekend, the juniors have a meeting where we will finalize our plans for the 2022 State show, which is planned to be held in McCook. I hope you all can join us in December, I am looking forward to seeing all of you for a great weekend with an amazing Angus Family!
Yours Truly, We held our annual State Fair meeting in August where we discussed many topics within our association. One of the major events that was discussed was our 2021 Winter Show, which will be held at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds on December 4th and 5th. We will soon have more information on this show so please check out our

National Junior Angus Association LEAD conference: life in the Angus lane Angus juniors attended the LEAD conference in Indianapolis, Indiana.
N
early 100 Angus juniors gathered in Indianapolis, Indiana for the 2021 Leaders Engaged in Angus Development (LEAD) conference from July 29 August 1 to expand their knowledge of the beef cattle industry and make new connections with other breed enthusiasts. Angus juniors buckled up and experienced “Life in the Angus Lane” by attending farm visits, industry workshops and leadership development activities. The National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) hosts many leadership conferences for its juniors every year. By hosting conferences in different locations around the nation, the NJAA hopes to expose junior members to other parts of the country and help them experience agriculture in new ways. Additionally, juniors have opportunities to foster relationships within the indust Juniors kicked off the jam-packed weekend with breakout sessions with the National Junior Angus Board of Directors (NJAB) and a guest speaker, Craig Huse, president and co-owner of Huse Culinary. The group also had

the opportunity to visit with the leaders of Sankey Angus, Sunrise Sunset Farms and Horstman Cattle Company about topics such as embryo transfer, herd management and more. Cody and Lindsay Sankey of Sankey Angus emphasized the importance of the opportunity of attending the LEAD conference. “The LEAD program is vital today in youth development,” Cody Sankey said. “The cattle are a tool for this program, but the people that they
connect you to are what matters. You never know when someone you meet on trips like these can benefit you in the future.” The conference also allowed members to explore other aspects of agriculture. Elanco, Corteva and Cargill hosted sessions about each of their companies to allow juniors to understand a different side of agriculture. Although the conference is focused on the beef cattle industry, the group also visited Fair Oaks Farms in Fair Oaks, Indiana, to learn about crops, dairy cattle and the pork industries. As juniors finished the final lap of the conference, they reflected on the influence their weekend spent in Indianapolis would have on their future. Madeline Bauer, events coordinator for the NJAA, reminded the group about the value of growing up in the cattle industry. “Your future and the future of the Angus breed is bright because of you,” Bauer said. “You, along with other juniors in attendance, were willing to go the extra mile by developing the leadership skills and knowledge needed to keep the Angus breed on top. - Written by Riley Reep, Angus Communications

S
ixteen young American Angus Association members from across the country gathered June 14-17 for the 2021 Beef Leaders Institute (BLI) hosted by the Association and funded by the Angus Foundation and the Certified Angus Beef® (CAB®) brand. The program’s goal was to provide a complete pasture-to-plate experience — from selection of genetics to breeding, registration, packing and retail. “We believe there is no better learning opportunity than through hands-on learning,” said Caitlyn Brandt, events and industry partnership manager for the Association. “BLI is a great opportunity for young cattlemen and women to network and really get to learn about how the moving parts of the industry intertwine.” The program began at Association headquarters in Saint Joseph, where the group met with staff to learn about various departments and programs. From visiting with Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI) President Kelli RetallickRiley about genetic evaluation to discussing how to add value to commercial calves with Ginette Gottswiller, Association director of verification services, attendees gained insight into each sector of the beef industry. Participants heard from professionals on the retail side of the industry and dove into how the CAB brand adds extra value. While at the brand headquarters in Wooster, Ohio, the on-staff meat scientist communicated how to fabricate wholesale cuts, and the in-house chef prepared an eating experience fit for a king. For more information on BLI and how to be a part of the Class of 2022, visit https://www.angus.org/Event/ BLIEntryForm. Look for the 2022 application to be available in early November.. - Written by Riley Reep, Angus Communications 24 • Nebraska Angus Association News • Holiday Issue • 2021

TaraLee Hudson earns Junior Bronze and Silver Awards
T
araLee Hudson, Belvidere, Neb., has earned the National Junior Angus Association’s (NJAA) Bronze and Silver awards, according to Jaclyn Upperman, education and events director of the American Angus Association® in Saint Joseph, Mo. Hudson is the 20-year-old daughter of Corey Bill and Gina Hudson and attends the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she studies animal science and agricultural economics. She is a member of the NJAA and the Nebraska Junior Angus Association. In 2020 she was the recipient of the Nebraska Angus Association scholarship. She has participated in local, state and national shows and showmanship contests. At the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), Hudson participated in the livestock judging and skill-a-thon contests. She also participated in the mentoring program in 2016. The Bronze and Silver awards are the first two levels of the NJAA Recognition Program that began in 1972. Junior Angus breeders must apply for the awards, then meet point requirements in many areas of participation before receiving the honors. Applicants are evaluated in areas of junior Angus association activities and leadership, participation in showmanship, contests and shows, using performance testing to improve their herd and their progress in producing and merchandising Angus cattle. The NJAA promotes the involvement of young people in raising Angus cattle, while also providing leadership and selfdevelopment opportunities for the nearly 4,500 active members nationwide. — Written by Amber Wahlgren, Angus Communicationsxteen
