New Rule - Jan. 1, 2022 The Board of Directors unanimously approved a new rule, which begins January 1, 2022: “All bulls (Shorthorn & ShorthornPlus) born January 1, 2022 and after will be required to have a genomic profile and parentage markers on file. In order to register any progeny with the American Shorthorn Association”. This means that regardless of service type, all bulls (Shorthorn & ShorthornPlus) used for breeding need to be genomically tested (currently, this is the 100K test but could be subject to change according to Neogen standards in the future). This pertains to AI sires as well as pasture sires/clean up bulls. The rule only affects bulls born after Jan 1, 2022, so this rule won’t really come into play until their progeny are born, late 2023 or 2024. Please be aware that AI sires still require the 3 genetic conditions as well – TH, PHA, and DS.

Association Outlook
Montie D. asa executive Soules secretary/CEO
Past, Present and Future
W
e are in July 2022 already. The country and the world and most importantly our industry is experiencing post Covid activities and inflation. We have experienced many day-to-day changes and one thing has emerged, the value of Shorthorns. Through the downtimes of the pandemic and the post-period, Shorthorn cattle have continued to provide security and added value. The right genetics along with acceptable performance data has added value to our product through these trying times. This shows why the Shorthorn Breed and Association is the oldest in the U.S. The breed and the people in it prevail in all types of conditions. In the past 150 years, the ASA has experienced more changes in cattle selection types than we can mention here – changes that took place to get the breed to where it is today. This is all outlined in the book Shorthorn and the American Cattle Industry. This fabulous book full of history and insight into the past 150 to 200 years is one of the features commissioned for the Sesquicentennial, celebrating 150 years of the American Shorthorn Association; the oldest beef breed Association in the U.S., America’s First. You can purchase the book on the ASA website or call the office. The celebrations started last fall with an open house social at the ASA office in Kansas City followed by the Annual Meeting in conjunction with the American Royal National Shorthorn Show. Events also included a special unveiling of CJ Brown’s painting of America’s First - Shorthorns Across America. This beautiful painting depicting our breed across America was unveiled at the Summit National Shorthorn Sale at the Cattlemen’s
Congress in Oklahoma City in January. The sale of these paintings was a huge success and the Summit Sale was the best we have ever had for the Shorthorn breed. The Shorthorn Breed was also featured at The National Western in Denver. Over 40 Shorthorn steers were provided for the Catch-a-Calf program this year. This was a huge triumph and the disposition of the cattle was properly noted. We have drinking glasses with the 150th logo, sweatshirts representing the 150th celebration and many other items for sale to promote this extraordinary event. This issue of the Shorthorn Country is a Special 150th publication that has a large number of breeders listed and will go down in the history books as a major reference for the future. We will start to wind down the Sesquicentennial at the North American at Louisville and the Annual Meeting in Kansas City will be the final celebration of this monumental feature. In Louisville, during the North American, we are planning a major social to honor our distinguished ASA members. We hope to have as many as possible past Builder of the Breed honorees to be present and Past Presidents to recognize the leadership of our great breed. Everyone is invited for a fun gathering of Shorthorn enthusiasm, seeing old friends and making new ones for the next 150 years. It has been a priority to focus on the past 150 years, but, your ASA Board of Directors and Staff are also looking to the future. In June right after the Junior National, we are planning an extensive strategic planning session for the ASA Board and Staff with the guidance of industry leaders. The goal is to determine how a breed association (Shorthorn) will
American Shorthorn Association

2022
shorthorn country = july 2022
look in 10 or 20 years. This sounds like a big undertaking, but we must look forward and prepare for the coming changes and be in front of them rather than play catchup. An activity like this, which focuses on the way the ASA could function in 10 or 20 years is of ultimate importance to the longevity of this Breed and Association. Our current Board of Directors are aggressive and look forward to being prepared for what the breed will require to sustain the growth and positive atmosphere we have in the industry at this time. To just sit back and not take any action would be detrimental to all. By the time you read this article, the ASA will already be focusing on what can be done to be prepared for the long-range future. This is the only way we can expect to be around to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the ASA. Your ASA Board and Staff are committed to growing this breed and getting a jumpstart on ideas that will help it grow and withstand the future. Watch for updates from this planning session at the Annual Meeting in Kansas City on November 19, 2022! = American Shorthorn Association

Beef Business
Matt director of Woolfolk performance programs
Looking Back, Moving Forward One hundred fifty years. A century and a half. A sesquicentennial celebration. The American Shorthorn Association and its members have certainly had quite the celebration over the last few months chronicling their reign as the oldest beef breed association in the United States. And this commemorative issue of the Shorthorn Country will be another piece to help us all remember the celebration fondly. It’s amazing to think how Shorthorn cattle have been on our continent even long before the formation of what became ASA in 1872. The master breeders and families who dedicated their lives to developing and improving the Shorthorn in the United Kingdom before the cattle arrived in colonial America would be amazed at what they could see now. As with everything else, genetic selection has changed within the Shorthorn breed over those years since the cattle landed on our shores. Tri-purpose cattle of the early days helped build colonial America with meat, milk, and power. As the country moved west, survival was an important selection criterion of passing on your genetics. As our commercial cattle industry was born in the western United States, bulls of all kinds were turned loose on the range to improve the Longhorn cattle of the region. Shorthorns were the leaders in this movement, arriving and dominating the western terrain long before the Hereford and Angus cattle. With harsh conditions and a lack of modern animal well-being technology, only the strong survived to pass on their lineage. As time marches on and cattle breeders became more studious of their craft, confirmation and pedigree became the means for choosing the next generation of breeding stock. Linebreeding and the adage of “breed the best to the best” dominated the era. Using the best tools they had at their disposal (pedigrees, their eye, stockmanship and intuition), the early American Shorthorn enthusiasts kept the breed thriving. Over time, more tools were incorporated into breeding cattle to fit the needs of the commercial industry. Weights and measures became a means to quantify the performance
of Shorthorn cattle. The evolution of performance testing into bull test stations and cattle improvement organizations brought a scientific and competitive avenue to beef improvement. In a visit I had with legendary cattle breeder Dave Nichols, he told me a story of his youth when he read a Shorthorn pamphlet titled “Best in Every Weigh”. Dave recalled using the information in that pamphlet to craft his FFA public speaking presentation that went on to achieve national recognition. He’s built a cattle breeding legacy around performancetested selection in his breeding program. Weights, heights, gains, and conversions all became a part of many breeders’ philosophies to make Shorthorns better. We’ve seen many type changes in the cattle industry over the prior century and a half. From big to small, belt buckle to framey, extreme to extreme and back to the middle, cattle producers have tried it all! I hope today we are closer to “correct” than ever before, and that in 50 years, my grandkids don’t look back and wonder what I was thinking when they see pictures of my cattle today. The performance data collected by breeders became used in the tabulation of early breeding value statistics, which turned into what we now know as EPDs. The ability to compare genetics from across the land, backed by data and pedigree relationship, changed the game once again. We started with the essential basic traits of weights and milk, and since then, have developed a plethora of EPDs to aid in selection for longevity, carcass merit, calving ease, and across our industry, traits such as feet quality, feed efficiency, udder quality, and heifer pregnancy rate are now backed by these tools as well. The genesis of genetic testing added another amazing layer to what we do as cattle breeders. The ability to identify a genetic condition carrier seems elementary now, but at the time it was a huge development. Parentage testing to help us maintain correct pedigrees in the herd book is often overlooked for its impact. And now, the incorporation of genetic markers
American Shorthorn Association
24
1872
2022
shorthorn country = july 2022
to determine an animal’s merits for traits of importance (via genomically enhanced EPDs) takes our capabilities to another level. While much has changed in our quest to make genetic progress over time, it will be interesting to see what tool is at our disposal next. Whole-genome sequence technology is on the horizon. Gene editing has become a popular topic among industry leaders. Or the next breakthrough that is most helpful to cattle breeders may not even be discussed yet. It will be fun to look back and see the continued growth of cattle breeding as we continue forward. Even with all the tools we have available today, there are lessons to be learned from every great breeder and era that came before us. It’s still important to remember that the key to passing on genetics is surviving to pass them on, as a reminder to be good stewards and managers of these creatures. Breeding the best bulls you have access to (regardless of your goals) to the best cows you can assemble is still a great way of making a better calf crop. We just have more tools at our disposal to develop the opinion of what is “best”. Weights and measures on the cattle we raise are still paramount, as they are the fuel that makes the engine that is our EPD calculations run better. And as technology emerges, we need to listen with an open mind and determine if it can be beneficial to our goal of efficiently and profitably producing better Shorthorn cattle. While some may argue “our predecessors didn’t have weights and EPDs and DNA to breed great cattle”, I’d wager that if those leading cattle breeders of years ago were in the Shorthorn business today, they would be selling cattle with full slates of performance data and genomic tests, while also combining their astute evaluation and stockmanship to breed cattle that would lead this breed in 2022, just like they did in 1872, 1902, or 1952. Leaders in their era would likely be leaders in any era, due to their forward thinking and desire for greatness. Happy 150th, Shorthorn enthusiasts! It’s certainly a cause for celebration. =

Since You Asked...
Heather director of office operations, Lange registrations & DNA
New DNA Submission Form Ask and you shall receive! After several questions and comments, we decided it was time to turn to the programmers at Digital Beef and request a change be made regarding DNA submission forms. This new process is predominantly helpful because all you need to do is select the animal in your herd that you want to test, and the system fills in the rest! This includes tattoo, sire, dam, birthdate, sex etc. You can then print this form out and mail it with your samples to the office. Keep reading for a picture walk-through and be on the lookout for a tutorial video, which should be up on the website by the time you receive this issue! *To start, know that this new process will only work for testing those animals that are already recorded or registered in Digital Beef – meaning you can test ‘U’ number animals too. (1) Of course, begin by logging into your Digital Beef account. There are 2 ways to begin queueing up your animals to test. First, be sure you are on your General Profile Information page. Then
click “Herd”, followed by “All” which will bring up all active animals currently in your herd. (2) Next, click the box to the right of the animal you wish to test in the “DNA” column. It will then say “Queued”. You can click as many animals at one time as you’d like. (3) On the left-hand menu, click “Herd Mgmt” followed by “DNA”. (4) The second way to queue your animals is to simply start at step number 3. Here you will see the “Choose from My Animals” button. Click this to pull up a list of all animals – active, legacy (culled or transferred), and performance (“U” number animals). Click the box to the left of the animal to pull it into the queue. (5) You’ll see several options here, but notice that the chosen animal automatically fills in. The “Reason” column isn’t required but is a useful tool. You can choose AI Sire or Donor Dam from it, and the tests needed to fulfill these requests are automatically checked. *Note: parentage markers are included

in 150K, 100K, and 25K tests, which is why this box is automatically checked. “Type” refers to the sample type being tested. “Barcode” refers to the barcode on the blood/hair cards and TSUs (All Flex tags). If you don’t yet have a card, or your card doesn’t have a barcode, you can just leave this blank. If you want to test to a second sire, type their registration number in the “Alt Sire” column. If you need to add an animal to be tested, you can click “Add Request” and then search for that animal. When you are done filling everything out, click “Submit to Staff”. (6) The DNA submission form should pop up for you. You see that all your info should fill in the front side, and all the testing info should fill in the back side (7). Next, all you need to do is print and send this form to the Shorthorn office with your samples! If you have questions, do not hesitate to reach out to the office. =

Tips for Success When it’s time to load up the trailer to hit the show ring, there can be many matters to figure out to make the event successful. Raise your hand if you’ve ever been stressed going to a show? When you consider attending an ASA show, don’t let these matters make your trip stressful or worrisome. Tips for Show Success: • Enter on time and check it twice. No one wants to get to a show only to realize you entered the wrong animal (Or forgot one all together). Should you notice an error prior to the show, contact staff to resolve the issue ASAP. • Stalling requests should be sent with entries or to staff ASAP. Think of stalling assignments as one big puzzle. Each puzzle piece is a different size, and there may only be one perfect match for each piece. The sooner we know specific
requests, the better your chances are to be stalled with the people you want to be with or where you want to be stalled. • Remember to check the show schedule for all times and locations. Check-in and show start times are important to follow so you do not miss any deadlines and arrival times. • Bring your animal registration papers to check-in. ASA staff will accept digital or physical copies of registration papers. Check each show you attend to see if they have specific requirements. • ASA Staff will do our best to have printed programs at every National or Super National Show. Many variables are affecting the supply chain and staff shortages at the printers can delay our timeline of receiving printed programs. Programs will be posted online as soon as it is finalized. Printed programs may not be available until day of show in some
cases. • Should you decide to stay in a hotel, watch for information about host hotels through the ASA. These room rates will be exclusive to ASA exhibitors. Most cut off dates for securing a room is a month before the show. • And last, but certainly not least, remember that a winning attitude goes a long way toward achieving success. Every show will bring new challenges, and through overcoming these challenges we grow and develop with each trial. We look forward to seeing each exhibitor and breeder at our upcoming shows and can’t wait to see you achieve success! =

State Associations 2022 is halfway over and it has been a great year so far. The State Associations Board of Directors have been updated, as well as their point of contact for each state, and the list of those State Associations can be found in this issue of the Shorthorn Country. You can also find this information on the ASA website underneath the contact tab. I have been able to update many of these associations, but if you see anything that
needs fixed or corrected, please contact me. Starting this year, a monthly newsletter is sent out to state board directors with current and upcoming events going on within the American Shorthorn Association and reminders of deadlines coming up to help better keep breeders informed. If you are a State association Board of Director member, and you have not been receiving the newsletter, please
Please email any State Association events to wade@shorthorn.org

Eat More Beef In this Shorthorn Country issue you can find a list of our breeders and members who sell Shorthorn beef. Currently, we have 77 operations from 25 states that market beef in different ways that best fit their program and herd of cattle. Some of these breeders sell sides of beef while some sell cuts of beef, some even have their own market. If you sell Shorthorn beef and you haven’t been added to the list, be sure to email me to join. One of my favorite things to do is cook. I enjoy making up recipes or using my large collection of cookbooks to cook something new. Many times I am cooking for Seth and myself but I love cooking for a group. I thought since we were republishing the Shorthorn Beef Locally Raise listing again in this July issue, it would be fun to have a recipe to support those producers on the list. I may not have used Shorthorn beef, but I did use family raised beef for this recipe. Pull that beef out of your freezer or give someone on our list a call so you can eat some Shorthorn beef and try out these delicious, shredded beef tacos! This type of recipe you can adjust some to your taste. Make it spicier or change the toppings. It is up to you!
For this recipe I use an InstaPot, but I am sure you could also cook it in the CrockPot, just adjust your time. Thaw and cube your brisket or roast into two-inch cubes. Set your instapot to sauté and add half of the olive oil. After instapot has warmed, add half of your meat and season lightly with salt/ pepper. Cook until browned on all sides of meat. Repeat with second batch of meat. Remove meat and pour in orange juice, lime juice, beer/topo chico and all seasonings. I typically don’t measure my seasonings and “season with the heart” so adjust these as you see fit. Stir to scrape off any browned bits at bottom of pot. Add meat back to the instapot. Cook on high pressure for 1.25 hours. Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes. Remove beef from pressure cooker and shred. It will shred very easily! Return to pot to absorb some juices and cook on sauté setting for a few minutes. Remove meat onto a large sheet pan and spread evenly. Broil meat for 5-10 minutes, stirring a few times, until some of the meat gets crispy on the edges. Serve on warmed corn tortillas with onion, queso fresco, cilantro, and any other preferred toppings. Enjoy! =
Shredded Beef Tacos Ingredients – 1 Beef Brisket or Roast, cubed – 3 tablespoons olive oil – 3 morita chiles (dried, smoked red jalapenos) – 1 cup fresh/bottled orange juice – 1 Mexican beer or Topo Chico* – 3 limes, juiced – 2-3 cloves garlic, minced – 2 teaspoon cumin – 1 tablespoon chili powder – 2 teaspoon onion powder – 1 teaspoon salt – 1 teaspoon pepper – ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper – 1 teaspoon oregano
*Using Topo Chico or something similar keeps this meal Gluten-Free.

President Outlook
Joe ASA Bales president
Shakespeare and Shorthorns If you were like me, there were few things in college that I disliked more than an English Lit assignment on Shakespeare. While I’m sure Macbeth and Hamlet were critical to my education, I never seemed to fully grasp the meanings hidden in his work. However, once I saw the phrase, “What’s past is prologue,” I found a message with meaning. In this simple phrase, we are reminded that much of what lies ahead is determined by the things that have occurred in the past. As we celebrate our 150 years as an association, I was reminded of this concept and quickly realized it was timely and pertinent to our breed and our breeders. With our yearlong anniversary celebration passing the halfway point, if you haven’t seen it, I would encourage you to find a copy of Shorthorn and the American Cattle Industry. In this full color book, Drs. Bob Hough and Bert Moore have done an outstanding job of chronicling our breed and its history – both good and bad. It’s a must read for any Shorthorn breeder or cattle enthusiast. While it would be easy to reflect on our rich history and some of the influential people, events and cattle that have shaped our breed today, I wanted to follow Shakespeare’s lead and look at what might lie ahead for our great breed. In an industry as rapidly changing as the American beef industry, there is much to look forward to, but our success in navigating the future may rely on our ability to learn from our past. By the time you read this, your Board of Directors will have completed a strategic planning retreat, designed to help guide the focus, direction and activities of the Association for the next decade and beyond. While it’s impossible, as I’m writing this, to know exactly what will come from this session, there are a few clear trends that we are sure to be considering.
In many ways our beef industry is changing, yet much is still the same. Vertical integration has impacted the production of almost every other meat animal and while we are seeing rapid consolidation of the packing industry, cattle breeding is dominated by individual producers. Cattlemen and women who value their independence are looking to diversify and stabilize markets, assuring they have adequate opportunities to sell their cattle for a reasonable profit. Technology has firmly established itself in the cattle industry, from systems that accurately measure the feed intake of an animal to genetic testing that provides breeders with the ability to more accurately predict the performance of an animal and identify potential health and genetic issues before they become problems. Online systems that allow breeders to register, transfer and manage their cattle from their farm, saving time and money, aren’t optional anymore, they are expected. And while a number of other livestock species have made dramatic shifts toward the use of hybrids in their breeding programs, resulting in a significant decline in purebreds, the beef industry still values the unique traits that the various breeds bring to a producer. With Shorthorns, Heritage Shorthorns, Durham Reds and Shorthorn Plus, we occupy a very unique place in the cattle industry. Our diverse gene pool enables Shorthorn cattle to provide valuable maternal and carcass quality traits, as well as industry leading disposition and convenience traits that can complement a wide range of environmental and production systems. As seen over the past few years, our genetics are growing in demand across all facets of the cattle industry. Understanding how these trends and industry demands are impacting our breed will be your Board’s focus in the

coming year. As we work through the planning process and develop new goals and objectives for the next century of Shorthorns, these questions will help guide our considerations: • What is the role of the ASA office and professional staff? Is there potential synergy for smaller breeds to work together more efficiently? • How do we develop alternative markets for Shorthorns? What is required to enable a branded product to work for small to mid-size producers? • With an ever-increasing set of data and DNA validated traits, which ones are most valuable to our breeders and our customers? • As global diversification of the gene pool becomes more prevalent, how should we monitor and/or manage genetic conditions? In addition to TH, DS and PHA, what else concerns our breeders and commercial cattlemen? • With demand increasing, how do we build on our strengths and continue to grow our market opportunities? What would be required to move Shorthorn genetics back to the forefront of the cattle industry? These are but a few of the topics that will be our focus in the coming months. Our breed is on a major uptick and we need to capitalize on the opportunities in front of us. This is a great time to be in the Shorthorn breed, but if the “past is prologue” we need to use the lessons from the past to build an even brighter future for the next 150 years! =

Embracing Change We are all constantly reminded that the world is changing. COVID changed consumer buying habits and has wreaked havoc on global supply chains. Buying local food and knowing where food comes from have become more important to consumers. Technology is changing how large and small companies market their products. The tight labor markets are increasing automation in agricultural operations as well as manufacturing plants and creating supply issues. Computer and Genomic technology advancements are allowing more data collection and greater detail on accuracy of genetic predictions. So how does all of this relate to the beef industry and Shorthorn breeders? More beef producers are marketing beef directly to consumers. This was a result of a series of events: Backlogs at larger meat processing facilities due to COVID related labor issues, which also quickly overwhelmed small local processors and butchers; Regional supply shortages of certain grocery items, when trucking and import/export shipments slowed or in some cases stopped; More families eating at home because restaurants were closed. The “Shorthorn Beef-Locally Raised” program has been an increasingly popular offering on the Association website. Social media is being used increasingly by all businesses to market and or influence purchases of their products. Having your bull or female sale on live streamed video is becoming a “must have”. Online timed auctions are becoming increasingly prevalent. I bet most of you have watched and bid online in both venues. Remember when the “picture quality” (photoshopped or air brushed) made the cattle, embryos or semen sell? Now its videos on YouTube or Vimeo. Even if you are not a Facebook fan, get online to “Shorthorn Breeders of America” or “Shorthorn Breeders of Canada” and see how many posts there are from beef cattle producers posting
breeding and show stock. Facebook groups, such as these, also allow you to connect with other Shorthorn breeders and ask for advice on bulls, barn camera systems, waterers, etc. It is an inexpensive way to connect with a lot of people. The American Shorthorn Association has followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. We track these activities and review it during board meetings. Some would say they have become the tool of choice as opposed to website traffic, especially for smaller operations. Does that mean web sites are a thing of the past? Absolutely not, because many of these posts have links to a web page. Beef operations continue to operate with less labor, due to both cost and availability. Many operations have one or both spouses with off-farm jobs. How does this change their breeding stock purchases? Calving Ease becomes paramount because they can’t attend all calf births. Docility becomes more important since we have less help to roundup or treat cattle. Many operators are older. I had one gentleman tell me he was shifting to Shorthorns, because he couldn’t outrun the Angus anymore. Polled cattle become more desirable, because dehorning is an extra task which can also have implications with treating dehorning sites that become infected. Data is not dead! But it is becoming more plentiful and sophisticated. Some breeders have told me they don’t believe or trust EPDS. I do not know any commercial bull buyers that ignore individual birth weight, Calving Ease, BW, and growth EPDs. They understand that a new yearling sire may have low accuracy, but it is still a tool they use. Genotyping technology is allowing us to improve accuracy even on young bulls. Also, using EPD’s is certainly better than an uneducated guess! If you want calves and replacement heifers with bigger tops, you pick a bull that excels in rib-eye-area. As you try to improve or
American Shorthorn Association
76
1872
2022
shorthorn country = july 2022
change your cattle, you use data to select a bull that can move you in the desired direction. Does this mean phenotype is not looked at, absolutely not because cattle still have to cover ground. And really, who wants ugly cows! Relative feed intake (RFI) is a measure that is new to the game but becoming increasingly popular as commercial operations try to improve feed efficiency without lowering average daily gain. Because we still get paid for Lbs. of carcass or live weight, no matter if the animal is a weaned calf, market ready or headed to a cull market. Breed associations are also changing. President Joe Bales’ column talks about strategic planning to ensure that the Shorthorn Association continues to provide value to our members and the beef industry. So instead of complaining about change, what change do you need to embrace to improve your operation, cattle, or life? =

The American Shorthorn Association (ASA) recently launched an initiative to promote members who are offering beef products directly to consumers. It is called Shorthorn Beef — Locally Raised. The Shorthorn Beef program is an avenue for connecting the breed’s cattle producers with those interested in buying locally raised beef. The effort includes promotional opportunities through social media, the ASA website and other media platforms. View a list of producers below. Contact the ASA office, 816.599.7777 (shelby@shorthorn.org) to be added to the list or visit shorthorn.org for more information.

The Coates Herdbook (A Lesson in Persistence) 200 Years and Counting by Dr. Bert Moore The Shorthorn breed had taken form by the late 18th century with the earliest representatives reaching the shores of Virginia as early as 1783. This was achieved with the application of breeding principles initially developed by Robert Bakewell, the recognized “Father of Animal Breeding.” His methods of carefully selecting foundation stock of desired type and then using a welldefined system of breeding “like to like” regardless of relationship ( l i n e b re e d i n g / inbreeding) could create a group of Robert Blakewell similar individuals that were fixed in type and would breed true. Stock belonging to “breeds” created using this breeding method then could have economic value. These principles had created in the fledgling Shorthorn breed… cattle which could contribute increased growth for production of beef, add scale to the local cattle strains for use as work oxen, as well as improve the ability to fatten and increase milk production. By the early 1800s these useful traits combined with strong promotional efforts in exhibits and sales made Shorthorns popular and well recognized throughout Great Britain, Continental Europe, and North America. At this time in Great Britain, much of a person’s position in life was determined by their social class and heritage. A small portion of the population which included the British nobility and a British social class referred to as the “landed gentry” owned a major portion of the land. They could live entirely on rental income or at least had a country estate. Land ownership would be passed
on through generations. This system also prompted the issuance of many long-term leases which could also be passed on to succeeding generations. Those who held these leases were still referred to as “tenant farmers” but had control over large tracts of land with many employees. This social system with the importance of family lineage was certainly a driving force behind the establishment of a herdbook for the Shorthorn breed. This maintenance of records and documentation of ancestry was an important step in their improvement and expansion. The first herdbook for any livestock species to be published in Great Britain was The General Stud Book for Thoroughbred horses first printed in 1793. Its intended purpose was to be a public registry system for pedigrees to identify those horses that qualified for specific races. Although slightly different in their intentions from the General Stud Book, the first cattle breed herdbook published in the British Isles was for Shorthorns. In 1812 a meeting was held including respected Shorthorn breeders Sir Henry Vane Tempest, Col. Totter, and George Coates to discuss the publishing of a herdbook. These same breeders met later that Fall in a second meeting which included several more prominent Shorthorn breeders. Among those present were members of the Colling family, the Booth family and Thomas Bates, all who had already figured prominently in the founding and expansion of the breed. All those in attendance endorsed the idea of a herdbook and since many of these Shorthorn breeders also raised horses,

they looked to The General Stud Book as a model. The attendees also agreed that George Coates was the person to gather the information and lead the task as editor. It was believed that he was fitted for the duty by his large knowledge of pedigrees, great interest in the cattle, knowledge of the breeders and confidence they placed in him. Sir Henry Vane Tempest who had extensive land holdings and coal mines in northeast England agreed to offset the expenses of gathering the data and printing the book. Coates immediately got to work on the project, only to be stymied nine months later with the unexpected death of Tempest. Although, the loss of “Sir Henry” delayed the project indefinitely, Coates continued his work of gathering data that would one day be needed to publish a herdbook. Alvin Sanders described Coates’ work in his book, Red, White, and Roan: “This difficult task was successfully undertaken by a well-known character of his day and generation, old George Coates, who rode up and down the valley year after year in quest of necessary data. His familiar figure, old white nag and saddle bags, traversing the highways and by-ways of that historic region. Coates also attended the “fairs” or market days, held at Yarn and Darlington and other points, where the Shorthorn fathers were wont to gather to exchange views and discuss ways and means of promoting improvement in the local cattle stock.” Another gathering of Shorthorn leaders occurred after Robert Colling’s sale in 1818. Printing of the book had remained on hold, but it was decided to move
forward with the project. Robert Colling and Jonas Whitaker agreed to defer the expenses to print the book. Their money would then be recouped through subscriptions. However, Colling died in March 1820, which further delayed the project for lack of funds. After these delays, in 1822 Whitaker, who had become a large breeder and a leader in exporting cattle to America advanced the monies necessary to publish Shorthorn’s first herdbook. The book got printed in the autumn of 1822 with 505 subscriptions, at a guinea each per book paid on delivery for a total of $2,525. At this subscription cost, it was reported that it was not a profitable enterprise for Coates. The first edition contained entries on 710 bulls, with about an equal number of cows. The early herdbooks sometimes had meager pedigrees because the ancestry of many foundation animals was unknown. Coates had to depend on information from private herd records, which were frequently “sketchy,” and simple recollections and stories of many years distant from people who lived during those times. The earliest birthdate of an entry into this edition was the red and white Studley Bull (626) calved in 1737. Bulls and cows were cataloged separately. Bulls were assigned a registration number and arranged alphabetically by their name. Cows were not given a registration number and were cataloged alphabetically by name with some of their progeny listed below. In reference, cows were identified by the herdbook volume and page number where they were listed, ie. (Lavina v.1, p. 373). Bulls and cows were cataloged separately until well into the 20th century. It was published under the title The General Short-Horned Herd-Book: Containing the Pedigrees of Short-Horned Bulls, Cows & c. of the Improved Durham Breed. It became known as the Coates Herdbook and still bears this name today. As future books were published, the pedigrees could be traced back through the various editions. As indicated, the first editor of the Shorthorn herdbook, George Coates, was also an early breeder of Shorthorn cattle. Unlike many of his contemporaries
involved with the when investment trips formation of the breed, were taken to the British Coates was not a man Isles to secure improved of means. Still, it cattle breeding stock in would be Coates who the early part of the 19th relentlessly undertook century. With no specific the monumental task breed designation or of gathering pedigree preference in mind, in information for the most cases they came contents of the first back with Shorthorns Shorthorn herdbook. It that were offered to appears that it had to be eager buyers. This a “labor of love” because “Patriot” (486), bred by George Coates coined the Shorthorns his compensation was very meager. as “The Great Improvers.” After the publication of the first Coates The Coates Herdbook also provided Herdbook—which reportedly provided a model and information source for Coates with no renumeration— the American Short-Horn Herdbook he nevertheless started collecting to be first published in 1846. All these information for the second edition. events, no doubt provided an important The second volume would not come out encouragement to the ultimate until 1829, with volumes after that being popularity throughout the British Isles edited by Coates’ and expansion across the globe.

It is that breeders can retrieve pedigree hard to find fault information as far back as the founding with anyone who herdbooks of the breed.

Still there identified and promoted by The Heritage were some who Shorthorn Society. = felt that there was benefit when the society took over the herdbook. Shorthorns were among the first breeds to be improved but also had public pedigree information that was available earlier than for any other cattle breeds. Breeders of other breeds utilized similar breeding “Fashion” and a calf, bred by strategies at the fountain head of their Sir Henry Vane Tempest breeds, yet they had no public herdbooks until later dates. Shorthorn ancestral information was available because of the publication of the Coates Herdbook which also set a precedent to establish herdbooks for most other livestock breeds, regardless of specie. This was useful in developing expanded worldwide markets. With the obvious expense and time involved in the importation of cattle, ancestral documentation surely had significant value. “Sir Thomas Fairfax”, bred by Jonas Whitaker This was borne out American Shorthorn Association

Cowboy Code Means Get it in Writing by Steven W. Crow, general counsel of ASA We all live by the cowboy code, and as such we believe our word is our bond. However, I believe the cowboy code is the we want to make sure everyone is treated fairly and according to our word when ever issues arise. As we age and get involved in more and more oral agreements are memory tends to fade and we mix up details of one agreement with another. The true cowboy code is to get the agreement in writing. There are several key reasons for this being an absolute policy for any breeder. Here are the best reasons:
1. One of the parties may die and the family has no idea of the arraignment. 2. Memories are subject to fade. 3. Agreements with minors are not enforceable in most states. 4. Technology changes and new technologies create issues you didn’t even consider. (ie DNA, cloning etc.) 5. All relationships end in time, what will you do then? 6. Each agreement is unique you simply can’t remember them all. Please understand that when issue arise the ASA is not a dispute resolution
forum. The American Shorthorn Association is not a mediator or arbitrator of disputes. The ASA will abide by the terms of written agreements among members until such time a Court order supersedes the agreement. Please do yourself and the association a favor and get your agreements in writing. =

Dr. Raymond Ediger has devoted his life to the development and promotion of Shorthorn Cattle. He truly exemplifies the recognition as a Builder of the Breed through his unselfish support of others and especially through helping FFA and 4-H Youth. Although 86 years young, when asked, Dr. Ediger admitted: “it was an emotional day when I viewed the empty pastures but I couldn’t help but be happy knowing that these incredible animals were going into herds where I hoped that they would give their new owners as much pleasure as they have given me over these many years.” The Shorthorn community is thankful for Dr. Ediger’s 50-plus years of outstanding service. =
Little but Big by L. Kordzaia On a beautiful April Saturday, the last fifteen animals of Dr. Raymond Ediger’s Green Spring Farm herd of Shorthorn cattle were dispersed at a public auction. It was the opportunity of a lifetime to get the special genetics he had dedicated his life to developing. The hallmark of Green Spring Shorthorns is they are sound, productive, and docile. A number of the cows were recognized as Dams of Performance. A small number of animals reach this distinction but in the Green Spring Herd, a number have attained this exclusive status. The fifteen animals auctioned consisted of seven cows with calves at their side, four yearling heifers, and four yearling bulls and were examined and studied by a huge crowd of repeat buyers, local and national shorthorn enthusiasts, and friends.

As I am sitting here writing this article, I realize it is official I am a “has been.” My junior career and my three years serving on the board have gone. As they say, I am on to bigger and better things, but I want to reflect on my time as a junior and serving on the junior board. I want to say thank you to all the families and exhibitors that attended this year’s junior nationals. It was indeed a great week. Also, exhibitors, please thank your parents and grandparents, whoever allowed you this opportunity to attend junior nationals. If you had told me the path, I would think of taking when I was twelve years old, I would have laughed in your face and said, “yeah, right!” But when I attended my first Shorthorn Junior Nationals in Madison, Wisconsin, in 2018, everything changed for me. I owe Kesler, my brother again thank you because four months before that nationals, my family took a vote on whether we would attend Shorthorn Nationals. The vote was 1 to 4, with Kesler only voting yes to attending, and well, we all know how that turned out. But to my family, thank you for taking on this crazy ride for the last three years. It hasn’t been easy with me running for the board plus being on the board coming and going and never being at the stalls. Thank you for picking up the slack when I started working fulltime last summer and taking care of my heifers. And most of all, thank you for supporting my crazy ideas (most of the time). I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it weren’t for you guys, so thank you! Thank you to all the junior board members I was able to work with the last three years. We have had many ups and a few downs, memories, and laughs. I truly appreciate all the friendships I have gained. Thank you to all of the junior exhibitors the last few years for

Shorthorn Junior Board at YBIC by Faye Smith, AJSA Public Relations The American Junior Shorthorn Association (AJSA) Board of Directors traveled to College Station, Texas on April 28-30 to join other junior breed association leaders at the bi-annual Youth Beef Industry Congress (YBIC). This year, over 130 juniors gathered again after a year delay of the conference due to the pandemic. The conference was hosted by the American Brahman Breeders Association and Beefmaster Breeders United. The first day was spent touring STgenetics, where the board learned about the breeding practices, and genetic improvements that STgenetics has made. From there, members were able to hear from Dr. Chris Skaggs, Associate Dean for Student Development for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Texas A&M University, Tori Lienemann PhD., and an agricultural advocacy panel. Friday was spent by touring Collier Farms, a Beefmaster producer, as well as 44 Farms, a large-scale Angus operation that focuses on beef sales direct to the consumer. After the tour, the juniors were able to hear from several speakers including Kodye Neel, and an
agricultural marketing panel. For AJSA President, Korbin Collins, the experience with 44 Farms was her favorite from the trip. “44 Farms was incredible to tour and see their facilities. It was amazing to hear how they got started, how they work with their customers to achieve their goals, and more,” Collins said. “Definitely an experience of a lifetime.” To conclude the trip, members were able to travel to the Texas A&M University Department of Animal Sciences. Juniors were able to learn more about the department, and various other small-group sessions that focused on the importance of networking. “Something I took away from this conference was that we are the next generation of great minds in the cattle industry, and it’s our job to further promote our industry,” said Xavier Ferris, AJSA Director. YBIC is a conferenced aimed at educating and providing additional leadership opportunities for the nations various junior breed leadership. According to Collins, this conference was something she looked forward to as

a junior board member. “I first heard about this when I was younger and thought it was a pretty great idea since it gave junior board members a chance to interact with each other,” Collins said. “It also gave us the opportunity to tour top facilities in the country to hear from the agriculture and beef industry’s top leaders.” The AJSA board members enjoyed their experience and will be awaiting the arrival of three new board members this coming June. =

Tartan Plaid Congratulations to the New National Lassie Queen The National Shorthorn Lassies would like to introduce the National Shorthorn Lassie Queen, Paige Wickard of Wilkinson, Indiana. Paige is the daughter of David and Leslie Wickard and represents the Indiana Shorthorn Lassies. Paige is a nursing student at Anderson University in Anderson, Indiana. She hopes to give back to her community as a nurse and continue her education to become a nurse practitioner. Paige has been an AJSA member for 12 years and hopes to continue her involvement in the Shorthorn breed through her family. She has a strong belief that the road to success in life is to be involved in an activity that builds character through responsibility, teamwork, hard work and sometimes disappointment. Good luck to Paige and be sure to reach out to her if you would like for her to attend any sales or state functions. =

A farmer. A grocer. A man of God. Family man. Bodybuilder. Yo-yo champion. Roger Schmidt was many things and for many people in Sequim he may have been their first boss, an ear to listen and/or a go-to person for produce and groceries. The Sunny Farms Country Store founder died at age 81 on April 5 of Parkinson’s Disease. He was buried in Dungeness Cemetery with plans for a celebration of life at a later date. Roger Schmidt was born in Port Angeles to Ken Schmidt and Alice (Sands). Later their family moved to Bremerton where Ken supervised painting naval ships. His interests varied in life from fast cars to preserving water for agriculture to tilling gardens to his faith in God and love for his family, including seven grandchildren and nine greatgrandchildren. “He was a man of God,” Ellie said.
“Rather than preach his faith, he lived it.” – Ellie Schmidt Many family friends said Roger was never happier than on a tractor with “his hands in the soil, tilling the earth,” too. At age 12, Roger was proud of being crowned King County’s yo-yo champion and winning a Schwinn bicycle. In high school, he played basketball and football and found a liking for weightlifting where he won many trophies. He graduated from Shoreline High School in 1959, intending to become a history teacher. Roger married his wife Ellie on Oct. 14, 1962. Jeff, their oldest son, was born in 1964, followed by daughters Susan and Sarah. Both Roger and Ellie felt led to raise their family in the country, so they looked around Washington and Oregon and were alerted to their current property on Heath Road. Roger moved first to Sequim in 1972 to establish their Sequim farm Olympic Mountain View Nursery planting peas, beans, potatoes and other food, while continuing to work in Seattle. The family moved full-time to Sequim in 1974.
Sunny Farms opened June 5, 1979, with a permanent storefront. Jeff said his dad helped him invest in establishing the JR Ranch (Jeff and Roger Ranch) in Othello in the fall of 1991. “It was a blessing,” Jeff said. “He set me up for success at a young age.” It supplies some of the meat to Sunny Farms from more than 1,800 cattle in Othello. Roger employed thousands of people in his life, including people who met and married through Sunny Farms and their children came back to work there also. Jeff said his dad was humble and a mentor to many people. “Dad persevered so many times as he thought failure was imminent [with other stores opening]. But dad was always successful.” Throughout his time starting and operating Sunny Farms, her dad felt so supported by the community and his customers. “To him, that’s what it was all about,” -Sarah Thomas. =
