President’s Message

Greetings from Kentucky. Summer has once again flown by and we are setting our sights on another fall and winter seasons. Here’s hoping that the rains came at the right time, harvests were bountiful and you have been able to capitalize on your marketing strategies.

I look forward to meeting with many breeders at the National Meeting and Sale in Martin, TN on October 12 – 14, 2023. The Southern States Association has put together a great opportunity to exchange ideas and cattle. Whether you are looking to add to your herd or not, I would hope you would make plans to attend and provide input for the future of the Red Poll Association. Active participation in any group is needed.

ARPA needs you to help set the course for future growth and actions.

Shout out to the Junior Preview Show in Jefferson City, MO. We were treated to an outstanding facility at Lincoln University, George Washington Carver Farm. In addition, LU was gracious to make the costs next to nothing! The Lindhart and Gardner families, our hosts for the event, had it well planned out. As her last event as the ARPA Jr Advisor, Ms Teresa Jackson had a wonderful banquet with awards for the kids and the silent auction. While the numbers of kids and cattle were smaller than years past, the memories will be long lasting for the participants. Thank you Ms Teresa for your years of service to the kids. You will be a tough act to follow!

Your Board of Directors is here to serve you. Please reach out to us with suggestions, concerns, or opportunities. The more voices we here, the better decisions can be made.

Blessings,

Chet Miller

Quality Hay

- How Sweet it is, Brian Zeidner

Part 3

I shared some of my hay-making experiences with you in previous articles, writing about using nitrogen fertilizer, commonly known as urea, on hay fields. Many hay producers really want to know - is it worth it? To answer that question, we must measure the quantity and quality of the harvest.

As noted previously, last year my first cutting off-farm, non-fertilized fields produced less than 2 round bales per acre, while my on-farm nitrogen-fertilized ground produced 5.5 round bales per acre. The increase in the amount of hay certainly is substantial.

I also measured the quality of the hay using forage tests. I am raising beef cows and although there are many forage considerations, I look closely at three different measures on my forage tests, Crude Protein (CP), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) and Energy (TDN). Although I reference these factors, there are many other measurements on forage tests that a professional nutritionist may use to make recommendations.

Generally speaking, the higher the Crude Protein and Energy and the lower the NDF, the better. My highest CP last year at 17.1%, was first cutting on-farm baleage made on May 21 st . The NDF was 50.7% and the TDN was 66.1%. On this feed, my cows, calves, and steers can continue to grow well and hold body condition even with no supplemental feed, and even during extremely cold weather.

Now let's compare apples to apples. On June 6 th I made a lot of dry hay, both on-farm and off-farm. I have worked for many years building soil on the farm by spreading lime, manure and fertilizer based on soil samples I took and analyzed, usually with help from the ag team at my local conservation district. I also applied 46% nitrogen urea to the on-farm acreage at about 200 lbs./acre. Although the NDF and the TDN levels were similar, my dry hay tested at 11.8% CP, compared to 8.65% CP of the off-farm hay.

As you have probably guessed, many factors contribute to good quality forage, including soil quality, nitrogen and fertilizer application and harvesting the crop at its peak. Also, there is definitely correlation between soil quality and forage quality, and this is apparent across several measurements in the analysis reports.

So, is it worth it? My theory is, yes, the cost and the effort of making quality hay is worth it. As described above, I have experienced a three-fold increase in quantity of hay and a 30% (and more) increase in quality. I don’t have to purchase additional hay or supplemental grain to feed the herd, and they are in great body condition year-round.

Using my experience as an example for 100 first cutting round bales, I would use 3,600 lbs. of urea applied at 200 lbs./acre on 18.2 acres to get my (first cutting) 5.5 bale yield. I purchased urea for $610 per ton, or $1,110 for the 18.2 acres. If I didn’t buy urea and had a yield of 2 bales per acre, I would make 36 bales and need to purchase 64 bales. The cost of hay varies, but if I purchased 64 bales – in this region of Pennsylvania hay is usually sold by the bale – at $40 each, I would spend $2,650.

I may or may not get the quality I need from purchased hay.

If I needed to purchase supplemental corn, feed or protein pellets because of poor quality purchased hay, I will have to spend additional money. I won't try to estimate what the costs of supplemental feed might be.

Brian Zeidner and his wife Pat own and operate a 42-acre beef farm in Sugar Run, Pennsylvania and raise custom freezer beef using Red Poll dams. Brian also works as the Member Service Director for Claverack Rural Electric Cooperative, serves as the Chairman of the Bradford County Farmland Preservation board, is the Co-chair of the Northern Tier Industry and Education Consortium and is a United States Air Force veteran. Pat manages the cattle breeding program, is active in several veterans’ groups, and served as a United States Army Combat Nurse.

I love making high-quality hay. Knowing the herd is healthy, happy, and productive because of the forages I produce is deeply satisfying. I hope you enjoy it too. I have learned a lot about best management practices on my farm by using the resources at my local conservation district. They have provided outstanding educational opportunities and support. I suspect similar resources are available to you as well, as most regions have conservation professionals or soil and water specialists. If you want to improve your operations, give them a call.

Homestead Creamery Alterniative use for an adaptive breed By: Christie Keene

W

We are the Judson Keen Family. We live on a 30-acre homestead in McEwen, TN lovingly named “Keen Acres”. We began our homestead adventure when we moved our family of 9 from Vero Beach, Florida just 9 years ago. After parking our 40-foot camper (it stayed where it got stuck in the mud) our first purchase was a Jersey Cow named Beauty. Our research had led us to the Jersey as it is heavily promoted as the optimal homestead cow.

One thing we failed to consider was how would we get Beauty bred back again? We knew that we wouldn't keep a Jersey bull as they have a reputation of being quite violent, not conducive to a single strand of electric fence, a bunch of kids and a couple of greenhorns. We thought AI (artificial insemination) was our only option, but it's not easy finding someone to perform the task.

When we finally found one of the few men still visiting small family farms for the purpose of AI, we discovered it's not an easy business. At $80 a shot, it was discouraging to learn the first, second, sometimes 3rd or more attempts were a failure. We later learned that a typical AI straw contains only .25 ml of diluted semen whereas a bull will ejaculate approximately 8 ml!

To have a successful AI experience, the homesteader must learn how to read the animals heat cycle. There is a sweet spot called "standing heat". When a cow finally reaches standing heat (hopefully not in the dead of night), the AI person must be available at that time, as it passes within a day. Additionally, he must have Jersey semen which is not always readily available because fewer Jerseys are in operation these days . We soon found these several barriers to success. We were losing valuable time, money and most importantly to us, milk.

Besides the challenges of not wanting to keep a Jersey bull, difficulty finding an AI administrator, and having unsuccessful AI attempts, there is also the issue of Jersey bull calves. After castrating, you have the difficult decision to make whether to disbud your calf ’s horns or not. We’ve done both and neither is pleasant.

8 Red Poll Beef Journal // Fall 2023

Disbudding is painful for the animal and a little traumatizing for the homesteader. And it’s not unusual for the process to be unsuccessful or only partially successful. This leaves your animal with a half horn or stump or worse yet having to do it all over again. Not disbudding creates the issue of a big cow with big horns on your homestead.

It takes approximately 2 years of loving, painstaking care to raise a 100% grassfed, organic Jersey steer, the way we do. A Jersey has a lower feed to gain ratio as they are not bred for that purpose.

That means it requires a lot more inputs to produce meat than another cow of the same size. They are by nature a bony cow.

They’re cute, but who wants to work so hard for a bag of bones?

After several years of frustration and difficulty, we are so blessed to have finally discovered our solution in the American Red Poll. The American Red Poll is a forgotten tradition. They are the ultimate dual-purpose breed which means they produce excellent carcass and milk for your family. And dual purpose is exactly what a homesteader needs! Minimum space and a desire for sustainability necessitates a naturally polled, docile, easy calving, early maturing, thrifty, meat and milk producing cow operation.

And all of these qualities are wrapped up in the American Red Poll.

American Red Poll’s are naturally polled (no horns). They are so docile it is easy to keep a bull even with minimal fencing. The American Red Poll produces a smaller calf which is very important for the health of your heifers and cows. They mature much sooner at 14 months and produce a carcass that no dairy animal can match. And the American Red Poll milk is delicious tasting, high in fat with small, easy to digest fat globules. So, whether your American Red Poll cow produces a heifer or a bull calf, the homestead is blessed!

To our knowledge we are one of only two American Red Poll breeders in America that are milking this beautiful cow. It is our desire to show the American homesteader the amazing qualities of this superior homestead breed!

Remember When...

Wand Bothers milking string 1955.

Alfalfa was fed in bunks at the back of this lot after milking. The cattle also had grass pasture and hay. It was a self sufficient farm which purchased little off farm feed.

Following WWII, Red Poll registrations were increasing rapidly because of the breed’s profit potential on diversified farms. In March 1950, the Red Poll Cattle Club of America reported mature cows averaged 4.2% butterfat and that finished carcasses graded good to choice.

Did you know?

A Red Poll cow requires 20 to 24 pounds of dry matter per day in late gestation. Protein and digestible nutrients must be adequate or she won’t be able to consume enough forage.

Farmand Bama Red Polls Ranch

A long and varied experience raising Red Poll cattle in the Heart of Dixie

B

Bama Red Polls took shape as an idea long before the pastures were stocked. When TJ Currier was released from Air Force service in 1956, he and his young family settled near Birmingham. Having grown up on a farm, country life was very appealing to TJ and the family was able to have a little bit of country in Hayden along with TJ’s career in aircraft mechanics. By 1970, the Currier family was had purchased a farm with sufficient acreage to raise cattle.

Occasionally cattle with superior traits were added to Bama Red Poll’s herd. Appalachian SKI 1 reg no. 3691 was purchased for muscling and Willow Keno’s Hope reg no. 162215, a Canadian import, added easy fleshing to Bama Red Poll’s female line. The last significant bull purchase TJ made was Eastside Oliver reg no. 6157 obtained from Don Schmidt’s all grass dairy in 1990. Bama Red Polls has been linebreeding from the Oliver line ever since.

TJ chose Red Poll for profitability on diversified farms. The first bull to arrive at Bama Red Polls was sired by Win-Mock 623 reg. no 70616 purchased from Twin Oak Farm along with several female offspring of PinPur Income Advancer reg. no 80440. Bama Red Polls went on to purchase cattle from the Hoppmires of Twin Oak Farm over a number of years for their consistent production of milk in the pail and tender beef for the table. These bloodlines have remained the foundation of Bama Red Polls breeding program.

The goal has always been to offer registered stock that will be productive and profitable for buyers.

Now 90 years old, TJ Currier still keeps cattle at the home farm in Hayden Alabama. When asked what advice he would give breeders about selecting quality seed stock, TJ has a pretty short list of necessary attributes. Consistent production. He goes on to say that raising Red Poll cattle has been one of the great pleasures in life.

Andrea Weaver

Daughter of Jeremy and Deanna Weaver 17 years old Ligonier, IN When my family first started the adventure of 4H we started with show pigs. Well I throw them a curveball. I wanted to show cattle.

My family knew nothing about cattle, luckily we had the Edgell Family to help us learn all about it. It then grew into me showing quality show stock from Jackson Farms. This will be my fourth year showing Red Polls but my 8th year showing cattle. I have learned so much in the four years I have worked with Jackson Farms and Edge Acres. One major thing I have learned from Joe Jackson is if you're on time you're late. As your National Red Poll Ambassador I plan to educate the youth on the cattle industry and the Red Poll Breed. After I finish high school I plan going to college to become an Agricultural Educator and further my impact on youth and the agricultural industry.
