A Time for Transformation
by Taylor Bacon for the Red Angus Magazine Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “To everything there is a season,” and as we have entered the new year, so starts the season of resolutions. The New Year is a time for fresh starts and new beginnings –many people set personal or professional goals during this time and even more vouch to take control of their physical and mental health. Perhaps no one in the beef industry is better suited to speak to the importance of physical, mental and emotional health, and their interdependence, than rancher and life coach, Kiah Twisselman Burchett.
Burchett, a sixth-generation California cattle producer, started as a life coach after she shared her weight loss journey with others. Her goal is to empower others to create a physically, mentally and emotionally healthy life they love.
During a keynote presentation at the National Red Angus Convention, Burchett shared an inspiring message about the transformation of not only her body but her mindset as well. Her transformation began with her “airplane moment” when she picked up Rachel Hollis’s book, “Girl Wash Your Face” and read the entire book on her plane ride. Though nothing in the book was especially different than things she heard before, this time it was different.
“People can tell us things that are helpful all the time but if you aren’t in a place to receive it, it just bounces off you,” Burchett said.
At the time, Burchett was working for the Kentucky Beef Council and advocating the health benefi ts of incorporating beef into your diet while she wasn’t making the healthiest choices in her personal life.
“I believed in the nutrition whole-heartedly, but at the same time, I felt like a hypocrite because I wasn’t exactly the vision of health,” Burchett said.
The book was a wake-up call for her because it encouraged her to take ownership of her choices and mindset.
“I realized I was placing blame on everything outside of me instead of taking ownership,” Burchett said. “If it was my choices that got me to a place where I felt unfulfi lled, unhappy, unhealthy and unsatisfi ed, then it has to be my choices that get me somewhere else.”
Burchett’s change of thinking inspired her to lead a healthier lifestyle, losing more than 125 pounds in the process. She uses her weight as an example because it was prevalent in her life, but this mindset shift applies to any aspect of life from how women show up as mothers to how they show up on their farms or ranches.
Along with her inspiring story, Burchett described the four G’s that guided her transformation and continue to help her through all her challenges –grace, gratitude, grit and growth.
“We have grace for your humanness, gratitude for all that is already yours,
Kiah Twisselman Burchett inspired women during the the National Red Angus Convention with her personal story of grace, gratitude, grit and growth.
Women can benefi t from knowing their sisters in agriculture often face the same struggles and encouraged them to stand up for each other.
grit to show up and trust you are worth all the effort it will take to reach your goals and growth for every ounce of discomfort you’re going to endure and lesson learned along the way,” Burchett said.
Burchett said goals can feel like standing at the base of a huge mountain clouded with fog. It seems impossible to reach the peak and you can’t even see the path forward. However, she knows if you take one step into the fog, you can see just enough in front of you to take the next step.
“The way you climb a mountain, the way you achieve a dream, the way you create a transformation in your life is just a series of small baby steps,” Burchett said. “We need to stop being distracted by the size of the mountain and what the path forward is and just say I am willing to take one step today.” A resounding theme throughout Burchett’s message was women are good at showing up for others but not always good at showing up for themselves.
She closed the session with an activity titled “Stand Up for Your Sister.” For this activity, she passed out a checklist with items related to the struggles of being a woman in agriculture and asked attendees to mark every item they felt applied to their lives. Papers were passed around the room until no one knew where their papers were or whose they held in their hand.
Burchett read each statement aloud and asked women to stand up for every item with a checkmark next to it. They were standing up for their sisters in the room.
“It helps us realize we’re all walking through hardships,” Burchett said. “We don’t know what hardships our peers are walking through or what circumstances they’re dealing with, but we have to remember no one stands alone.”
This activity encouraged women to stand up for their struggles while showing them they weren’t alone in any battle they were fi ghting.
“There is so much power and strength in vulnerability,” Burchett said. “We’re told strength comes from being tough and getting through it, but I would argue strength comes from being vulnerable.”
At the recent National Red Angus Convention during the Ladies’ Symposium, Burchett encouraged women to ignite change in their mindsets and empowered them to stand up for themselves while standing up for each other. //

Few in the agriculture industry would question U.S. cattlemen and women’s commitment to conservation and environmental sustainability. Long before it was a buzzworthy topic, sustainability was a top-of-mind issue for ranchers as they have always sought to produce more beef, using fewer resources, to improve profi tability and carry the business forward for the next generation.
But over the past 10 or so years, consumers and retailers have started to take notice of cattle country and raise concerns, albeit misplaced, about the way cattle are raised and the potential impact they have on the climate.
Such concerns launched the creation of several sustainability-focused organizations and programs such as the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef and its U.S. partner, the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, both of which were founded to identify sustainability indicators and measurements which could be calculated and communicated to a hungry, both physically and intellectually, consumer base.
Now that consumers, foodservice suppliers and grocers have asked for beef industry sustainability metrics, ranchers are supplying that information by quantifying practices that were already in place on the ranch, such as grazing management plans, improved animal productivity and adoption of Beef Quality Assurance principles. These indicators, in addition to many others, are conveyed to consumers and retailers that wish to know the beef they are purchasing is responsibly raised and “climate-friendly.” highest sales fi gures for burger chains in the U.S, have all made commitments to source a signifi cant amount, if not all, of their beef from sustainable suppliers.
In fact, 10 out of 10 of McDonald’s top 10 beef sourcing countries procured beef from sustainability programs that are aligned with the GRSB’s principles and criteria. Additionally, Tyson, JBS and Cargill have all committed to reducing their GHG emissions in response to both consumer and investor concern about how beef is raised. These commitments involve top to bottom process alterations and are harbingers of a solid consumer demand for sustainable beef that is unlikely to waver in the future, and from which the effects are visible in nearly every corner of the beef industry, from pasture to plate.
LLC., is one such development. The startup by Dr. Colin Beal is focused on certifying beef with a signifi cantly reduced carbon footprint over U.S. baseline beef production. Low Carbon Beef, LLC., analyzes and applies proven emission reducing tools at every step in the cattle lifecycle and adds value to beef production and cattle farming.
The company just recently earned its approval as a USDA Process Verifi ed Program Service Provider which makes it the fi rst USDA PVP for calculating lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions for beef cattle production. The USDA PVP allows beef producers to certify and market beef that is raised with lower GHG emissions practices. Beef producers that qualify for the program are eligible for premiums, further incentivizing sustainable practices for forward-thinkers and early adopters.
Yet another indication of sustainability measurement and reporting that has manifested due to consumer demand is the recent beef industry commitment to climate neutrality, solidifi ed at the Cattle Industry Convention in Nashville in August. This commitment comprises four goals for the U.S. cattle industry:
• Demonstrate climate neutrality of
U.S. cattle production by 2040. • Create and enhance opportunities that result in a quantifi able increase in producer profi tability and economic sustainability by 2025. • Enhance trust in cattle producers as responsible stewards of their animals and resources by expanding educational opportunities in animal care and handling programs to further improve well-being. • Continuously improve our industry’s workforce safety and well-being.
An important note to accompany these goals is the producer-led process that developed them. Cattlemen and women across the nation collaborated to address a need for the entire industry.
It’s evident that there is an opportunity for the beef industry to build consumer trust by establishing its own sustainability goals and deliverables without any prompting by governmental bodies such as the USDA. Collectively, these initiatives will serve producers well in the long run, as they represent a sizable amount of beef that meets growing, consistent demand.
In the coming months and years, Red Angus will strive to quantify and communicate how the breed positively contributes to a sustainable beef supply, as part of the 2021-2026 Red Angus Strategic Plan.
Cattle producers already have a great sustainability story, evidenced by decades of improvement in grass, water and animal management. The time for capitalizing on that story is at hand. //

by Justin Sexten, Performance Livestock Analytics, originally for Cattlemen’s News Rarely a day goes by where some media outlet doesn’t reference the role ruminants play in greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting climate change. This media focus is primarily on beef and dairy cattle’s environmental impact, in part, due to larger body weight and greater feed intake but also because few in the general public have any context for ruminant production beyond cattle. Those who track environmental issues are clearly aware of the nearly daily claims of net zero and carbon neutrality goals proposed by corporations in the not-so-distant future. Claims made in response to the growing desire for some effort to move the needle in reduction of GHG emissions. Some quick math on the scope and scale of these claims suggests a carbon trading market will likely advance and evolve, offering a place for offset transactions while providing price discovery of climate change mitigation efforts. This evolution is an example of a technology market pullthrough. Create fi nancial incentives to encourage practice changes that, in this case, sequester carbon or reduce GHG emissions. Early adopters seeking to take advantage of the emerging carbon market continue to evaluate a host of programs intended to document pasture management, crop rotations and feed additives all aimed at offsetting or reducing carbon emissions within and beyond the beef supply chain. The carbon trading market is the fi rst benefi cial thought many consider when evaluating the impact of managing GHG emissions at the ranch. While selling carbon credits may offer future revenue diversifi cation, cattlemen may benefi t from looking at GHG differently. This alternative approach to GHG management, while still emerging, is consistent with previous technology evaluations on these pages, suggesting ag tech should solve fi rst for operational challenges, then seek to address opportunities rewarded in the marketplace when evaluating return on investment. A quick review of where feed energy is lost will highlight the opportunity for energy savings at the ranch through GHG management. Recall the energetics of ruminant feeding starts with gross energy, representing the initial available energy (100%) in a feedstuff. The greatest energy loss occurs due to indigestibility, where 30-50% of gross energy is lost in manure. One could argue this loss represents the greatest opportunity for improved energy effi ciency in the cow herd using improved forage harvest and storage methods. That’s fodder for another article. The next loss to what is now digestible energy occurs due to urine, a fairly constant 4-5% from the gross. Gaseous energy losses of 2-12% are also recorded at this step with metabolizable energy remaining. Finally, approximately 15-20% of the gross energy may be lost as heat of fermentation and metabolism. This energy “loss” may be considered a useful adaptation to improve effi ciency on cold winter days. Rough math suggests approximately 40% of a feedstuff gross energy can be used for maintenance and gain.many consider r when evaluating g the e impact of f managing gross energy can be e used for maintenance and gain.

DanandKatieReardon Montrose,CO 970.729.2571 Dan@RockingRRedAngus.com A recent article in the Journal of Animal Science by Paul Smith and co-workers highlighted a novel method to manage methane and part of the associated 2-12% energy loss.
Previously, when selecting replacement animals on the basis of reduced daily methane output, a related reduction in productivity was observed. Historically, low methane output is associated with low feed intake and marginal performance. Dietary interventions such as high grain diets or ionophores can reduce methane production of the group but an individual animal will still rank differently than their contemporaries as methane production is a moderately heritable trait.
This Irish research team evaluated residual methane emissions, defi ned as the difference between the predicted and observed methane output relative to intake and performance. The index, while correlated to methane output, was not related to other production traits offering the ability to make selection decisions for methane “effi ciency” without indirectly reducing performance.
When cattle were categorized as low RME (desirable) compared to high RME (undesirable) they produced approximately 30% less methane on the 77% concentrate diet regardless when measured as daily methane output, or methane per unit carcass weight or feed intake.
The mechanism behind methane effi ciency was also explored in this experiment. Rumen fermentation patterns followed the expected trends toward greater propionate production in low RME cattle and greater acetate and butyrate in high RME cattle. While not conclusive the fermentation patterns suggest further research into the microbial populations is warranted.
While the residual methane emission index is not ready for sire selection catalogs just yet, this project highlighted the variation that can exist across the population. Where there is variation there is opportunity to select for improvement. Because methane is an energetic cost to the animal, mitigation solutions in the form of management or selection will benefi t us at the operational level while addressing broader environmental goals. //

by Greg Henderson, Drovers, originally for Drovers Beef export values continue to soar, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation, with growth on pace to exceed $10 billion in 2021.
Beef exports reached 115,709 metric tons in October, up 7.5% from a year ago, while export value climbed 48% to $956.9 million – the second-highest total on record, behind August 2021. Through the fi rst 10 months of the year, beef exports totaled 1.19 million metric tons, up 17% from a year ago. Export value increased 38% to $8.53 billion, surpassing the 2018 record ($8.33 billion) with two months to spare.
“USMEF has always prioritized market diversifi cation, and this is more critical than ever now that the red meat industry faces unprecedented transportation challenges and rising input costs,” said president and CEO Dan Halstrom. “Exports will likely reach about $18 billion in 2021, which is a remarkable achievement. While global demand is tremendous and we are cautiously optimistic about further growth in 2022, supply chain pressures are not easy to overcome and are a growing concern for exporters and their international customers.”
Incredibly, USMEF projects beef exports to top $2 billion in each of three key Asian markets – South Korea, Japan and China/Hong Kong. Exports have already surpassed previous annual records in China/Hong Kong and Central America and October exports to Colombia were record-large.
Shipments to Mexico and Colombia bolster October pork exports
Pork exports totaled 226,206 metric tons in October, down 7% from a year ago, while export value slipped 3.5% to $618.8 million. For January through October, pork exports were up slightly from a year ago in volume (2.47 million metric tons) and increased 8% in value ($6.84 billion). Exports to Mexico continued to strengthen in October as shipments reached a new monthly high of 83,929 metric tons, up 38% from a year ago. January-October exports to Mexico are ahead of the record pace established in 2017, when full-year shipments exceeded 800,000 metric tons and topped $1.5 billion in value.
Pork exports to Central America and the Dominican Republic continued to shine in October and have already set annual records, while exports to Colombia have rebounded to pre-COVID levels.
Although China’s demand for pork muscle cuts has softened signifi cantly, it remains a critical, value-adding destination for U.S. pork variety meat. //

Harold Robert Campbell
Harold Robert Campbell was born Feb. 11, 1944, in Lemmon, South Dakota, to Robert A. and Josephine (Deutsch) Campbell. He grew up on the family ranch 12 miles south of McIntosh. He attended rural school through the fourth grade at the White Shirt Country School. He was a cantankerous little fellow, getting kicked out of school when he was in kindergarten – a fact he only shared after his great-grandson experienced the same punishment. He graduated from McIntosh High School in 1962 and then attended South Dakota State University in Brookings, obtaining a degree in animal science in 1966.
It was at a freshman orientation dance the first day of college that Harold saw a group of people talking and noticed a dark-haired gal named Sharon Holm. Sharon remembers some guy poking his head into the circle and asking her to dance. She said, “Yes,” and Sharon and Harold danced together for more than 45 years. Harold and Sharon were united in marriage on June 28, 1964, in Redfield, South Dakota. Fol-

lowing college, they moved to Renner, South Dakota, where Harold worked for John Morrell. Five children, Marcia, Robert, Rebecca, Lana and Amy were born to this union.
In 1970, the Campbell’s purchased a ranch north of McIntosh. Harold took his bride and young family to their home behind the butte where many joyous years were spent. From 1970 to the mid 80s Harold ranched with his brother Harvey. The Campbell Red Angus name has grown throughout the years. In 2010 his son, Robert, took over the reins of Campbell Red Angus. Harold remained on the home place serving as advisor and “ranch hand” until his passing.
Harold taught Vet’s Ag School to Veterans in the McIntosh and surrounding area in the mid 70’s. Many of these students are still farming and ranching in the area to this day. Several have attributed Harold’s teaching to giving them the start they needed. Harold was also an auctioneer, avid 4-H supporter and, after retirement, a professional grandpa.
Harold passed away with his children and their spouses by his side on Monday, Nov. 29, 2021, at the age of 77 following a sudden illness.
Grateful to have been blessed with the soft-spoken Irishman are his children: Marcia (Leroy) Harsche, Robert (Kara) Campbell, Becky (Greg) Eisenbarth, Lana (Darren) Chase and Amy (Tom) Metz. Also holding Harold dear are his grandchildren: Miranda (Josh) Webber, Antionette Harsche (Congo Hawes), Royal (Krystal Y.)

Harold was preceded in death by his loving wife, Sharon; one grandson, Neulyn Harsche; his parents, Robert A. and Josephine Campbell; sister and brother-in-law, Evelyn and Tim Dirk; in-laws, Melvin and Gertrude Holm; brothers-in-law, Steven, Matt and Mark Holm. //
