= Beef Business Great State Feedout Recap The fifth installment of the American Shorthorn Association’s Great State Feedout (GSF) is in the books and once again proved that feeding Shorthorn genetics is a viable option for all. Profit was rampant for all participants this year with record fat cattle prices, lower than expected feed costs and the cattle’s performance while on feed. The average profit per head this year was $220.41 after feed and expenses were subtracted, one producer made over $300 per head on their 26 head consignment! Six different operations placed 108 steers and 35 heifers on feed at the TriCounty Steer Carcass Futurity Feedlots in Lewis, Iowa. Thank you to the following operations for your continued support of the GSF – Waukaru Farms, Bowman Superior Genetics, Peak View Ranch, Kelly Klein, Galbreath Farms

and Vogel Shorthorns. The cattle performed exceptionally well through the Iowa winter posting an average daily gain of 3.56 lbs. per day with an average feed to gain of 6.0. The average feed cost/cwt was $64.72 and the overall cost of gain/cwt was $84.36. The Shorthorn genetics continued their run of great disposition scores through the feedlot averaging a 1.7 (scale of 1-6). The cattle left the feedlot averaging 1,179 pounds with an average hot carcass weight of 725 pounds and had an average dressing percentage of 61.5%. On the rail the cattle were 63% low choice or better with an average marbling score of a Small 18. The average calculated yield grade for the group was 2.96. The cattle were harvested with .46 inches of backfat and had an average ribeye area of 12.3 sq. in. and a

REA/CWT of 1.70. This year’s cattle were not immune to discounts on the rail as 10 head were stamped YG 4 by the grader and one YG 5. It is worth noting that these were lighter muscled cattle that had an average REA/CWT of 1.48. Plans are already being made for delivery dates throughout the fall at the Tri-County Steer Carcass Futurity Feedlots. Please watch the ASA website, Shorthorn Insider and the Shorthorn Country for updates. If you have any questions or would like to see examples of the closeouts please don’t hesitate to call. =

Shorthorn Juniors Ride for the Brand by Ashley Vogel

This years Junior Nationals was held in Louisville, Kentucky along with Chi and Maine Junior Nationals. It was definitely a week jam packed full of fun and excitement. This years theme was “Ride for the Brand” which allowed juniors to ride for the breed they were representing. Throughout the week in Louisville we saw juniors step into the spotlight and participate in many contests. Many participating in contests in every breed and excelling in their own way. Tuesday was the first official day of Junior Nationals with families and cattle showing up to check-in their cattle as well as themselves for many contests. This year the juniors helped the breed rise to the top by exhibiting 518 animals. It comes as no surprise that the contests yet again had record participation this year. Youth conferences began with the introductions of the current board as well as the eight candidates that would be running for a chance to wear the “Red Coat” and represent the Shorthorn breed. We also paired up our PI and PII juniors with an Intermediate or Senior for the mentor/apprentice program. This year the mentor apprentices took to selling Frisbees around the barn for a chance to throw it into a show box for the chance to win

a Sullivan’s chute. The juniors raised, as much as $4,000 by selling these Frisbees and this money will be put towards next years Junior Nationals in Grand Island, Nebraska. We ended Tuesday night with our opening ceremonies where we challenged everyone to bring as many cans of beans as they could for a local food drive in Louisville and listened to a speaker challenge us to make a difference in our own states. Wednesday morning we began the day with our Showmanship contests. Everyone gave it their all to try to make it to those top five positions. Following showmanship youth conference two was held and the candidates were put to the test when they were asked some difficult questions. Afterwards was an afternoon filled with more contest participation. Thursday morning we started the day off with the speech contest as well as youth conference three where the state delegates got to know the candidates a little better by participating in round table discussion. Each states delegates then voted on the new board of directors. We rounded out the day with team fitting where juniors worked together to fit and present their animal to a panel of judges. Friday morning we kicked off the

day with the Bred & Owned Show, the Purebred Bull Show, ShorthornPlus Show, the Cow/Calf Pair Show and the Prospect/Market Steer Show. After the conclusion of the show everyone changed into their best dress and went to the long awaited awards banquet. Many of the juniors who participated in contests throughout the week were then rewarded for all of their hard work and others for their dedication to the Shorthorn breed. Three new board members were announced and received their Red Coats. Saturday we held the National Junior Shorthorn Female Owned Show and the day was filled with animals being presented from all over the country. Champions were selected and people celebrated their success. With the conclusion of the show the week of Junior Nationals came to an end. A sincere thank-you to the planning committee, the junior board, the association staff, as well as all of the juniors and their families for making this show such a huge success! We look forward to seeing all of you in Grand Island, Nebraska next summer! =

Battle of the Breeds by Chandler Steele

Food insecurity is a growing problem in the United States. Today, one in four children do not know where their next meal will come from. On Tuesday June 24th, over 720 Shorthorn, Chianina, and Maine-Anjou exhibitors gathered in Broadbent arena and listened to Michigan Junior Shorthorn Association Member Andrea Urbach speak about hunger in America and what we, as cattle producers and exhibitors, can do to help make sure that no one goes hungry. Andrea encouraged exhibitors to be aware of hunger in their communities and to rise to the challenge of feeding a growing world.

To kick start the week in Louisville, the Ride for the Brand campaign issued its own challenge to junior exhibitors and their state breed associations. Each exhibitor was asked to bring at least one can of beans to the “Ranch RoundUp”. The Battle of the Breeds competition pinned title sponsors, Sullivan Supply and Sure Champ in a head-to-head battle to see which team could raise the most cans of beans for the Dare to Care Food Bank of Louisville. Teams pushed, pulled and rode their carts full of canned beans into Broadbent Arena on Tuesday night. When the last can was counted,

it was announced that junior exhibitors from these three outstanding junior associations donated 1,626 cans of beans to the Dare to Care Food Bank of Louisville! Team Sullivan Supply won the Battle of the Breeds competition, bringing in an astonishing 1,226 cans! The 1,671 pound donation was one of the largest single donations Dare to Care has ever received!

getting to know your partner, selling fling rings for a chance to win a chute and writing thank you letters to some of the show sponsors. The teams that completed all their tasks were then entered into the golden hopper for a chance to win the coveted Golden Comb.

From frozen landscapes to creative summer perspectives, Shorthorn youth have dedicated themselves to finding the perfect view through their lenses. Judges for each age group commended the youth as a whole, as they found it tough to choose which photos would end up in the Top Five. Shorthorn exhibitors also showcased their skills of enhancing photos in the Digitally Enhanced Photography contest. Intermediates and Seniors took to their computers and enhanced their photos by changing the saturation and hues, adding quotes, or even combining two different photos. Congratulations to the Top Five individuals in their respective categories!

Quiz Bowl by Joseph O’Sullivan

Quiz Bowl winners

This year’s Quiz Bowl competition was held on Wednesday afternoon. Each team consisted of two prospectors, an intermediate and a senior. The questions ranged from Shorthorn history and facts to the beef and agricultural industry. Every division was asked a question appropriate to their age with some free for all questions that anyone on the team could answer. As the competition progressed, the competitive spirit of the participants became apparent, and the matches became very intense. All of the spectators were extremely impressed

with the knowledge of the juniors and it is safe to say that the future of the Shorthorn breed will be in good hands.

Promotional Poster & Graphic Design By Haley Alden

Those in the Prospector I division promoted the Shorthorn breed while those in the Prospector II division promoted membership in the AJSA.

There is no doubt that this year’s participants have a future in the promotional area! Final Placings include: Prospector I 1. Caroline Tilton, Ohio; 2. Lauren Fry, Ind.; 3. Regan Ferris, Ind.; 4.

Team Salesmanship by Dustin Smith

Team Salesmanship winners Whether you are selling a choice of bulls, antibiotics, or a heifer calf, it takes skill to convince the buyer your product is what they need. The skill of a salesman or saleswoman is a work of art. The work of art requires smooth talking, prepared, and determined individuals. The shorthorn breed has many outstanding sales men and women, many of which participated in the team sales contest at the junior national show this year. 52 teams competed for the top spots in their

division. This contest is not an easy one to prepare and participate in; not to mention the practice that each team has to do in order to get everything complete and rehearsed down to each second. It is truly amazing seeing the youth of our industry practice their sales pitch. Whether they pretended to be a semen service business or an antibiotic sales team, the skill level truly did shine through. Prospector I Division: 1) Kylee Damerion, Carlee Long, Mo.; 2) Hayden Fox, Allie Raab, Ind.; 3) Alexia Lane, Kara Baker, Okla., 4) Addison Obrecht, Tyler Loudon, Iowa.

=Tartan Plaid Summer Class - check, Junior Nationals - check, relax - one can dream! By: Sydney Miller

Lassie Tea Now as my year of reign rounds down it seems to be getting busier than ever. These past eight months have been one for the books, including being crowned at the North American International Livestock Expo and attending my first National Western Stock Show. I’ve also been proud to represent Michigan at various state events such as our annual breeder association meeting and the Michigan Beef Expo. Most recently, I got to spend a week in Louisville, Kentucky, at the National Junior Shorthorn Show. Throughout these different events I’ve had a blast meeting and interacting with breeders, juniors, and past and aspiring Lassie Queens of all ages. The Lassie Tea and 101 are both annual events at the National Junior Shorthorn Show put on by the Lassie Board and current Lassie Queens. Lassie Tea is a fun and exciting opportunity for young girls to spend the day as a Lassie, full of crowns and sashes. On the other hand, Lassie 101 is for older girls interested in serving as a state and or national queen. For the many state queens that helped Victoria and I at Junior Nationals, we thank you deeply! Now as we change gears and head into State Fair season and with the start of fall sales not too far behind, I will be traveling across the Midwest and across the nation to represent the Shorthorn breed and the Lassie organization. Currently, I hope to attend three state fairs with many sales to follow. But I’m excited to attend as many events as I can. If you would like me to attend please email me at mill2481@msu.edu and I will do my best to have queen representation there. See everyone this = fall!

= Shorthorn Beef Bits “Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance” “Remember, prior planning prevents poor performance.” These were the words of a wise college accounting professor I was given the opportunity to learn many things from. At the beginning of the course’s first semester, I comprehended the scope of the quote to apply only to class materials and the importance of studying for exams. However, as the year progressed, I began to understand that the concept of prior planning encompassed far more than my accounting homework. Today, as I continue to think about the significance of this saying, its importance in the cattle business becomes clear. So oftentimes, in the hectic nature of our day to day activities at a cattle operation, future planning becomes tossed aside in lieu of more pressing tasks at hand. However, to ensure our future success, planning for the future is of utmost importance. Do you know where you want your operation to be in the future? Today is the best day to set goals for tomorrow. Be proactive in making your operation even

better than it is now. Learn more about a topic that could help improve your bottom line, try a new idea, the opportunities are endless. Today’s beef cattle market is the highest on record. How can you plan ahead to make sure your operation is profitable when markets become narrow? • Establish an effective record keeping system. Incorporating a system that accurately records expenses and profits will be a valuable decision making tool. Decisions can be made with real world numbers, in turn helping to increase productivity and profitability. Are your cattle performance records up to date? Do you have a performance record keeping system in place? If not, take the time to learn more about record keeping and to find a system that best meets your herd’s needs. • Gain knowledge about industry trends and technology. Today’s fast paced, technology based world has

shorthorn country = august 2014

Megan director of Brehm communications & marketing

not overlooked the cattle industry. Today, there are many products, innovations, and technology available that can help your herd and operation improve. Areas that technology continues to touch include: reproductive, feed efficiency, and herd health technology. Oftentimes, looking to the future can be overwhelming; however, the task today will reap benefits over and over in tomorrow’s world. Agricultural producers have a multitude of resources available to help answer questions and provide educational materials. State extension services are a great place for producers looking for useful information. As you transition and prepare for the future, I hope you too will remember that “prior planning prevents poor performance.” =

Meet Your American Shorthorn Association Board of Director Member: Mark Gordon by Megan Brehm, Director of Communications and Marketing

Shorthorn Country is featuring articles aimed to help you become more familiar with each Board of Director member. The board is passionate about serving the needs of members and ensuring the success of Shorthorn cattle well into the future. “I wanted to spread the word about the breed of cattle I love.” These are the words of Mark Gordon, Vice President of the American Shorthorn Association, when asked what motivated him to become a member of the association’s Board of Directors. Gordon was elected to the board three years ago, and he hasn’t looked back since. As an individual and board member, ideas and goals for the breed continually evolve to make a positive difference. Shorthorn cattle are easily the “most versatile” breed of beef cattle, Gordon added. As a board member, Gordon takes his job to help consumers become more aware of the Shorthorn breed seriously. In 1972, Mark’s parents John and Judith Gordon, purchased land adjacent to his grandparent’s farm to continue their

family’s involvement in row crop and cattle production. In this same year, the Gordon’s selected their first Shorthorn heifer for a 4-H project. Since then, Shorthorns haven’t left the farm. Mark Gordon and his father John now operate Rockin’ G Land and Cattle, a purebred Shorthorn herd near Middletown, Illinois. The Gordon’s primary objective is to sell breeding stock, with emphasis being placed on high quality service to customers. Most cattle are marketed through private treaty and Shorthorn consignment sales. In addition to duties at the farm, Mark is the manager of Croft Fertilizer Service, Inc., a full service fertilizer, chemical, and seed distributor. Serving on the Board of Directors has further appreciated Gordon’s passion for Shorthorns. While serving as a board member, “I have come to appreciate how versatile and industry relevant the Shorthorn breed is. Shorthorns are thriving in various conditions across the country, all while meeting the standards beef producers have set for them.”

Throughout the last three years as a member of the board, Gordon has had the opportunity to express ideas for the breed and put them into action. “Serving on the board has been a tremendous honor; members of the board truly have the best interests of the Shorthorn breed in mind.” When asked what has been most enjoyable about serving as a board member, Gordon is quick to mention the membership base of the American Shorthorn Association. “Our people are the strength of the Shorthorn breed; the values and close-knit family atmosphere, make involvement in the breed all the = more worthwhile.”

Panhandle Parade of Breeds Judge: Ryan Rathmann & Jon DeClerck The 32nd Annual Panhandle Parade of Breeds Junior Livestock Show was held June 12-14, 2014 at the Ollie Liner Center, Plainview, Texas. 73 heifers were exhibited in Ring A while 62 heifers judged in Ring B. Dr. Ryan Rathmann, Texas Tech University, selected Ella 912Z*, his Champion Shorthorn heifer as the Supreme Champion in the Gebo Inc., sponsored

heifer show for Ring A. Ella 912Z was exhibited by Myka Blissard, Big Spring. Jon DeClerck, Iowa State University, judged the steers in Ring A. He used his British Champion, a 1,025-pound Shorthorn exhibited by Kacy Bland, Idalou, as his Grand Champion Progress Steer over the 36 entries. Dr. Ryan Rathmann evaluated the steers in Ring B. He used the

Champion and Reserve Champion British steers for his Grand and Reserve Grand Progress Steers (calves weighing 850 pounds and above). Stiles Patin, Thorndale, guided his 965-pound Shorthorn steer to the Grand Champion Progress Steer spot over 28 entries.
