In 2010, they sent their bulls to Hays Development Center (now the Werner Feed Efficiency Testing Center) in Diagonal, Iowa, to be evaluated for average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI), feed-to-gain and residual feed intake (RFI). They used the testing station for three years and then in 2013 they installed their own GrowSafe feed intake system so During the award presentation, industry friends recognized Richard for his they can test all of their yearling bulls and yearling heifers at home. contributions to the beef industry.

Richard “Dick” Janssen, Ellsworth, Kansas, is the 2017 Kansas Stockman of the Year. He was honored on March 2 during the 47th Annual Stockmen’s Dinner in Manhattan.

After college, Richard returned home and joined in a partnership with his brother, Arlo. At that time, they farmed 1,200 acres of wheat, milo and alfalfa along with managing their Angus herd. They also custom fit and showed cattle across the country from Chicago to California. In 1969, Arlo transitioned to fitting and showing cattle fulltime while Richard stayed in Kansas to manage his division of Green Garden Angus and farming.

In 1974, he married Shelly and they continued to expand their cattle operation, growing it to the current size of 350 head. The couple had two children — Ben and Elizabeth.

Richard has always been an innovator in the seedstock industry. He says that breeding cattle is like adding ingredients to a pot of stew, mixing and matching until he obtains the perfect recipe. Through the years, he has focused on building a breeding program around calving ease and superior carcass traits that will function in their central Kansas environment.

Always willing to try new tools, the Green Garden herd was one of the first used to collect ultrasound information. In the fall of 1989, John Brethour, beef cattle scientist at K-State’s Ag Research Center-Hays, used the Green Garden herd to experiment on perfecting his ultrasound machine.

The President’s Pen

Official Publication of the Kansas Angus Association, Inc. Fall ( Sept/Oct ) issue ad/copy deadline : August 10

May has been designated BEEF MONTH so I find it appropriate to talk about beef. I find it very pleasing to meet vehicles on the road with license plates sounding forth the message to EAT BEEF and other similar messages promoting beef. If I were to suggest an improvement to the EAT BEEF message, it would read: EAT BEEF-GOD APPROVES!!!!!!

Unknown to many, God certainly does approve of eating beef. He also disapproves of other “meats” that we are told not to consume and calls them “unclean unto you.” To find the listings of these different animals, simply turn to Leviticus 11 to find the differing animals that he has given us for consumption and those he has not. For the sake of space, I will only focus on one of each which is edible, that being beef animals, and one of our competitive meats which God deems as unclean, being “the swine.” Leviticus 11:2; “Speak unto the children of Israel, saying These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. “whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud,….THAT SHALL YE EAT.” Friends, that would certainly include the Angus cattle that we all love to work with, eat, and also help to feed the world with a wonderful source of nutrients, not to mention that juicy succulent taste we experience when we “go out for a steak.” Verse 7: “and the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed, YET HE CHEWETH NOT THE CUD, HE IS UNCLEAN TO YOU. Of their flesh shall ye NOT EAT, and their carcasses shall ye not touch, THEY ARE UNCLEAN UNTO YOU.” Friends, can you imagine what the beef market would do if everyone eliminated the “swine’ and all the other “unclean” foods from the dinner table? Just as important, much of our sickness and disease might just be eliminated or reduced if we simply obey God’s commands. Friends, please don’t get the idea I am “preaching” to you. It is my love for my fellow Americans and Angus friends that I have shared this with you. You might read all of Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 28 gives the blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience to God’s Holy Law. TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH, HAPPINESS, WELL BEING, AND PROSPERITY. KEEP RAISING THOSE “CLOVENFOOTED” ANGUS THAT CHEWETH THE CUD.

Your brother in Christ,

Larry Lundgren , Gove

Notes & News from Anne

Life Changing In the previous issue of the KAN (Mar/April) I titled my notes ‘That Angus Cow’, I wrote about how the Angus cows brings together our Angus family in times of celebration and hardship. Little did I know that the strength of that Angus Cow as well as the Angus and agriculture family in southwest Kansas would be so severely tested in the wake of the devastating and life changing wildfires that swept through southwest Kansas and neighboring states in early March.

With the flames, barely out and Kansas ranches assessing the major losses of cattle, homes, fences, equipment and grass help began to arrive in the form of labor, food, hay, supplies and more from across the nation; most of this help came from fellow ranchers and farmers.

Just days after wildfires swept through southwest Kansas and surrounding states cattle rest on scarce green grass in the shadow of thousand of acres of burned pasture land at Gardiner Angus Ranch, Ashland.

Life Changing

(continued from page 2)

About a week after the fires, I made the journey to Ashland, Kansas. I had a trailer load of fencing supplies donated by residents of my hometown, an envelope full of gift cards and well wishes to be delivered to Mark and Eva Gardiner from the KJAA and a little anxiety about what I would do and what I would find when I got there.

When I was about 30 miles out of Ashland, I phoned Greg Gardiner and informed him of the supplies I had on my trailer.

He said come to the ranch and someone would meet be and direct me to places to unload. Upon arriving a Gardiner’s, I was met by one of the GAR employees who led me to a burned-out pasture of a neighbor that had lost a home, hundreds of acres of grass and almost his entire herd. As we unloaded wood post, he began to tell be the story of the day the of fires and the aftermath; his words were filled with so much emotion I knew at that time one of the things I would do was listen. Later that day, I met up with a group of FFA members from NE Kansas that had come during their spring break to help local ranchers. KAA members Ron, Cale and Eva Hinrichsen were part of that group. The kids were covered in soot and ash as they removed burned out fence line; I was given a pair of fencing pliers and joined in removing staples and picking up burned posts. That evening I joined the kids and their sponsors for dinner, though exhausted and dirty I could tell from their conversation and friendly banter that this spring break would be forever engrained in their memory as well as mine. The next morning, I joined the group again through the course of the day we all worked together of tear out approximately 12 miles of fence on a cold and windy day.

KJAA members Cale and Eva Hinrichsen work together to roll up burned wire.

While I only spent two days in the Ashland area and my experience cannot compare to those that were directly affected , I can say that the experience was ‘life changing’.

In those few hours, I witnessed the resilience and dedication of the rancher, the raw emotion in the stories those that lived through it, the generosity of the agriculture community, the promise of a bright future for the FFA members who spent spring break helping those in need, new friendships as well as the hope seen in emerging green grass among ashes and baby calves resting beside their mothers in the shadow of thousands of acres of burned grassland. The experience will be one I will forever remember.

Donated hay, feed and fencing supplies began arriving for all parts of the US even as the fires were still smoldering.

KJAA ‘Gives Back” in wake of Wildfires

By Eva Hinrichsen, KJAA reporter Family is what one makes of it. The people considered family may be by blood, adoption or many different circumstances. Sometimes friends become closer than biological relatives and become the ones that are counted on when help is needed even if no one asks.

The fires in Western Kansas left many farmers and ranchers devastated. It was especially hard to grasp when someone known personally was affected by this disaster. When the news came through the Kansas Angus Association that the Gardiner family lost thousands of acres of grass, numerous bales of hay and hundreds of cows, many people wondered what they could do to help. It was even more shocking when the members learned that Mark and Eva Gardiner lost their home and barely escaped the fire. The Kansas Junior Angus Association rallied together and knew something should be done to help these longtime Angus family members and supporters of the junior program.

Mark and Eva Gardiner have always been involved in helping and giving to the junior members.

They have spent countless hours helping junior members study for quiz bowl contests, with cook -off teams and preparing members for team sales. They are true role models of giving back to others. The junior members wanted to follow this example by offering to make a donation from the junior association and send it to them. In addition, the members added personal contributions to the donation and, with the help of Anne Lampe, purchased gift cards for the Mark and Eva Gardiner family. The cards were delivered by Anne and KJAA member Cale and Eva Hinrichsen when they went to Ashland, KS to assist with the fire relief efforts.

This group of NE Kansas FFA members spent three days of their spring break in Clark and Comanche Counties tearing out miles of burned out fence line and delivering donated supplies. The group was sponsored by Genex Beef . Kansas Junior Angus Association members Cale and Eva Hinrichsen and KAA member Ron Hinrichsen, Westmoreland

The juniors felt this was a small token to help a family that had given so much time and advice to making their program stronger. They appreciate the support of all members of the Angus family regardless of the actual relationship. Being able to give back to one of the members is a tribute to the example that exemplifies the meaning of family.

2017 Kenneth & Lorene Moore Scholarship Recipient Megan Green, Leavenworth

to make memories is something great to look back on and I look forward to see what my future holds in the Angus industry.

Scholarship: The Kenneth and Lorene Moore Scholarship is awarded annually to an outstanding KJAA member that is a college sophomore. The scholarship application mandates that the applicants write an essay describing Angus involvement and accomplishments. The $1000 scholarship is administered by the Kansas Angus Auxiliary and is funded by a generous donation by the Moore’s. Applications are due annually on January 10 and the winner is announced during the KAA banquet.

Megan Green, Leavenworth a student at Kansas State University was the 2017 recipient. The following is the essay Megan submitted with her application.

KAA Young Angus Producer Scholarships

Agriculture has always been a big part of my life. I have always been the country girl that is not afraid to get dirty and work a little harder to get what I want. I grew up showing cattle, riding horses, and have been fortunate to have the opportunity to grow up in agriculture. I have learned the importance of being responsible, dedicated, ambitious, and hard working.

Growing up on a diversified family farming operation that involves crop production, a farrow to finish swine operation, and a registered Angus cow herd has given me the opportunity to be involved in the livestock industry.

In addition, we operate an equine boarding and riding business that I have been actively involved in.

In the cattle operation, I have been very involved in the show cattle segment. Selection of show cattle, feeding and daily care have been my responsibility. Helping with sale cattle preparation including clipping and grooming has been an important job to me. Preparing cattle for photos and helping with the marketing by posting photos on social media are other jobs that I am also involved in. The past few years, I placed a listing of our sale offerings on Craigslist to promote the cattle in the annual production sale. I also take photos from around the farm and at shows to update our website.

The Kansas Angus Association was proud to present two scholarship during the KAA annul Banquet on January 21, 2017 made possible by the Angus producers in Kansas that utilize Zoetis HH50k tests. Through a partnership program with Zoetis and state Angus associations, Zoetis gives a rebate to state association that participate in the promotion a donation to be used specifically for member education, promotion and youth. The amount of funds received by the KAA is based on the number of test submitted by Kansas producers-June 1 to August 1.

Reid Shipman, Manhattan I wish I could start this essay with how many generations the Angus breed has flowed through my family or how my parents or grandparents started our Angus herd when I was just born so that when I was old enough to show, I had a whole barn full of bred and owned animals. Would be nice to say, but it’s not possible for me to say that because that’s not how my love and passion for Angus cattle begun.

You see, I’m a first generation Angus producer, trying to develop a herd of Angus cows that someday I can pass on to my kids and grandkids.

I’ve thought at times how cool it would have been to have been born into a family steeped in Angus tradition. The stories I could have told about those who came before me and blazed the trails that made this all possible for me. It’s then I realize, I’m the trail blazer and it will be my children and grandchildren who tell the story of how their dad or grandpa started this Angus herd from a cow purchased from the Sankey 6N Ranch in Council Grove, KS. How he went to work for the Sankey family at shows to learn about the breed and soak up as much knowledge as he could from those around him. How he spent a summer working in Iowa at Burns Angus where his days started before the sun came up and ended long Starting in 2003, I became a member of the Kansas and National Junior after it set. He learned about forages, diets, vaccination schedules, listened as breeding decisions were discussed and came to appreciate the Angus Association. The Kansas Junior Angus Association has brought ability to artificially inseminate cattle and flush cows to take advantage of me many opportunities to be involved. I have held offices such as memsuperior Angus genetics. He learned the hard way how difficult it can be to bership director, reporter/historian, treasurer, vice president, and I am halter break young stubborn bulls and heifers. He spent the next summer currently serving as the President elect. working at the Downey Ranch in Wamego, KS with over 400 head of comThe Northeast Kansas District hosts a show for any junior member on the mercial Angus cows. Putting up hay, moving cows in rotational grazing systems and syncing that many cows required many long days and even northeast part of Kansas and I had to opportunity to hold offices such as longer nights. He did this because he had to learn about it. His parents President, Vice president, and Secretary. couldn’t teach it to him so he had to go where the knowledge was and These offices have taught me how I can be involved, work hard, and help take full advantage of everything each operation and each producer had achieve my goals. The junior association continues to give back to many to offer. Then he brought that knowledge home and shared it with his parents. He had to help them understand why they needed to do certain juniors as well as myself to make sure they not only achieve personal goals but also teaching us that life isn’t handed to you. Being involved and things certain ways. Along the way, he attended Allen Community College and received his Associates Degree in Farm and Ranch Management.

From my first heifer purchase, I now have a herd of 15 Angus and 4 commercial cows. I also partner on two Angus bulls. When you’re trying to grow your herd, you’d like to retain your heifers but all I ever get is bulls.

I’ve only had three Angus heifers in six years of breeding. I’ve retained one, sold one to a 4-H’er in my county and lost one (my first loss) one to sudden pneumonia. I have been fortunate enough to have shown at many national Angus shows the past few years and done quite well. All of those winning heifers and genetics are the backbone of my herd.

I’m currently a senior at Kansas State University majoring in Animal Sciences and Industry. My additional interests also include agricultural marketing and communications as well. I am a member of the livestock judging team and this has allowed me to see some of the best Angus genetics in the country. This upcoming semester I will be interning full-time for Herbster Angus in Fall City, NE. This will be a tremendous learning opportunity for me working on preparing bulls for their annual bull sale.

My future plans include graduating in December 2017 and going to work for a breed association or an animal health pharmaceutical company. Last summer and again this summer I will be interning with Merck Animal Health in the pharmaceutical sales division. This was an amazing experience last summer and I was honored when they wanted me to come back and intern again this summer.

Where ever my professional life takes me, my Angus cows will follow. I will continue to work with Angus producers to improve my Angus genetics.

I’d like to increase my herd numbers to about 25 cows and work to produce bulls that will work in purebred and commercial Angus operations.

I’d like to also develop a cooperative herd partnership that will allow me to increase my ability to produce calves with superior Angus genetics.

I can’t thank the Kansas Junior Angus Association enough for all they do for kids like me. They have helped me turn a dream into a reality and a passion into a lifelong career. My story isn’t nearly finished, so keep checking back. This first generation Angus producer is just getting started!

Chelsey Figge, Onaga When I was just 10 years old, I started in the Angus industry with my first registered heifer and I never could have imagined where I’m at today.

My great grandfather started our Angus herd over 80 years ago and I am now a fourthgeneration breeder. Because of my involvement in various Angus Associations and ag related organizations, I have gone from a shy little kid to a passionate advocate and leader. With my passion for agriculture, I also have a passion for teaching and plan to educate many future generations.

expand my knowledge through taking challenging college courses and keeping up-to-date on the latest Angus news. I am continually able to grow my skills to select genetics that will further improve my herd. I also feel that a person should always keep up to date on what is going on in agriculture. I keep myself up to date by keeping in touch with my fellow Angus leaders online, through conferences, conventions and at Angus shows and events.

My passion has always been teaching about agriculture. Growing up, I have had the opportunity to meet many different teachers that have helped me along my path. I attended Allen County Community College and received my Associate’s Degree in Agricultural Sciences in 2015. I am currently attending Kansas State University to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Education with minors in Animal Science and Agronomy. My career goal would be to become an Agricultural Education Instructor at a Kansas High School or junior college. In this position, I will be able to work with students to help them achieve an understanding of agriculture, create lifelong career goals and develop more educated citizens. I now know that I have not only educated local consumers, but have reached international consumers about our cattle operation and Kansas agriculture. I plan to continue being an advocate across the nation for Angus and agriculture.

Angus Juniors ‘Raise the Bar’ in Ames, Iowa Leadership event brings together 29 junior Angus leaders to “Ames for Success.”

Angus juniors have the opportunity to travel the country with the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) and learn from knowledgeable experts in the beef cattle business. Most recently, NJAA members met April 6-9 in Des Moines, Iowa, to participate in a Raising the Bar conference.

“Not only is Iowa the host of the 2017 National Junior Angus Show, but it also played host to a Raising the Bar conference this spring,” says Caitlyn Brandt, American Angus Association events and education department. “Raising the Bar conferences give NJAA members a chance to become more involved in the Angus breed, build on leadership skills, and learn more about agriculture, while meeting other junior members from across the country.”

The conference hosted 29 Angus junior leaders from 12 state junior Angus associations and New Zealand. Participants toured the Iowa State University (ISU) campus, heard from industry experts, took part in leadership-training workshops and spent an evening playing laser tag.

The group also made stops at Hawkeye Breeders, Blood Dairy and two Angus operations, Nichols Farms and Glenn Rowe’s.

While at ISU, juniors were able to tour the Iowa State Meat Lab, Hansen Ag Center, and the Iowa State Beef Teaching Farm. Participants also heard from former NJAA members Michael Cropp, a graduate student at ISU, and Chris Cassady, ISU professor and livestock judging team I was able to help develop our registered Angus cattle business, K2C An- coach.

Winning with the Angus Team: 2017 NJAS An annual Angus tradition, the NJAS takes place July 9-15 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Come win with the Angus team in Des Moines, Iowa, at this year’s National Junior Angus Show (NJAS) at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

From July 9-15, National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) members and their families will come to compete in the most competitive national junior livestock show in the country. Participants will travel from coast to coast, with Angus cattle in tow, to experience the NJAS. In addition to the showring competition, Angus youth will also participate in life-skills contests, cooking events and much more.

“The National Junior Angus Show is a time to shine for future leaders of the Angus breed,” says Jaclyn Clark, American Angus Association director of events and education. “Iowa will not disappoint in the least, and with its great facilities and central location, we expect another outstanding turn-out for junior nationals.”

Themed “Winning with the Angus Team,” the 2017 NJAS expects to draw more than 1,000 head of registered Angus cattle to compete. Classes include owned heifers, bred-and-owned heifers, cow-calf pairs, steers and bred-and-owned bulls. States will join together to compete for the Best Five Head, while individual members will vie for Junior Premier Breeder and the Silver Pitcher Award. A Top 5 selection of Bred-andOwned Heifers and Owned Heifers will be chosen at the conclusion of each respective show. May 15 is the ownership and early-entry deadline, and participants can submit entries online at www.angus.org/njaa.

No entries are accepted after May 25.

The 51st Annual NJAS Showmanship Contest will also take place, where two junior Angus members from each state compete for the “Top Showman” title. To qualify, juniors must first be selected during state competition.

In addition, each state can enter a team in the quiz bowl, team sales, team fitting and team marketing contests, as well as the American Angus Auxiliary-sponsored All-American Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) CookOff, herdsmanship and scrapbook contests.

The NJAA mentoring program is another opportunity offered during the show as a way to help prepare younger members for a successful future.

The mentoring program pairs senior and novice members together for NJAS activities, allowing younger members to become more comfortable around other juniors.

Also during the week of shows and competitions, the NJAA hosts its annual meeting. Two delegates from each state will gather to review the organization’s bylaws and elect six new directors to the NJAA Board. The new directors and officers will be announced during the awards program at the conclusion of the week.

Visit the www.njas.info for more information on contest deadlines or contact the Events and Education Department at 816-383-5100. Please note there are no exceptions to any of the ownership and entry deadlines.

Angus Continues Single-step Testing Angus Genetics, Inc. (AGI) continues to test single-step genetic evaluation, the method the company plans to soon implement in order to calculate American Angus Association weekly expected progeny differences (EPDs).

This is an ongoing effort and the top priority for AGI. Therefore, the Association plans to move to this updated statistical model only after thorough internal measures are complete. AGI will continue to fine-tune the required software to ensure the procedures used for implementation offer the utmost accuracy and valuation for members. Meanwhile, the Association will rely on the current Angus genetic evaluation based on the latest calibration released earlier this year, which is the largest and most accurate beef genomic calibration ever conducted in the global beef cattle industry.

While AGI continues to refine the single-step methodology for targeted implementation in spring 2017, Angus breeders can be confident the current evaluation provides the most accurate, comprehensive values available. The integrity of the data is and will continue to be the foremost consideration. Learn more about single-step evaluation on the AGI website.

Kansas Angus Auxiliary Summer has arrived and all our farms are in full swing of a variety of activities. Including the summer show schedule, as it is full of opportunities for our Kansas Juniors to excel as leaders in and out of the showring.

We wish good luck to every high school senior that completed the Kansas Angus Auxiliary Scholarship application. And to those junior members who completed the American Angus Association and Foundation scholarship applications as well. We are excited to hear the results in June and July.

The Kansas Auxiliary is proud to support the Kansas Junior CAB Cook-Off Teams at the NJAS this summer. As our junior members compete, our families are also supporting by helping set up tables, mentoring in the kitchen and on the grills, and watching the cattle back in the stalls.

Hope to see you at KJAA Preview Show in June for the Auxiliary meeting in the Prairie Pavilion. If you are at the NJAS in Des Moines in July, watch for the American Angus Auxiliary meeting schedule at the fairgrounds.

Good luck to everyone and safe travels as we hit the road.
