Attention Juniors!

• Junior members 7 years of age are eligible to show at the Junior National.

The Junior member has to be 7 on January 1 of the year the Junior National is taking place to be eligible to show at the Junior National. For example, if a child turned 7 on December 31, 2022 they are eligible to show at the 2023 National Junior Show in Des Moines, Iowa. If they turned 7 on January 10, 2023, they are NOT eligible to show at this year’s Junior National.

• Junior members who turned 22 in 2022, your Junior Membership was good through December 31, 2022. To stay a member, you must pay the yearly adult membership fee.

All memberships converted from Junior to Adult will become WHR Breeders.

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.

Send DNA Directly to Neogen As a reminder, breeders can now send DNA samples directly to Neogen for testing rather than sending to the ASA office first. 3 things will be required to send samples in for testing: 1. A registration (or recorded “U”) number for each tested animal 2. A paper copy of the finalized testing form, (emailed from staff, description below) which includes the Neogen order number 3. A barcode number for each animal tested Breeders can queue up animals for testing in DigitalBeef and select which sample types they have, as well as which tests they want. Once the form is submitted, (it’s not entirely an automated process) staff will process the testing request and get an order ID # from Neogen. A finalized printable PDF of the submission form will be emailed to print and send to the lab with samples. Checks/payments are still made to the ASA. Once staff approves the testing request, the breeder’s DigitalBeef account is billed accordingly.

2023 ASA Annual Membership Don’t let your membership lapse!

Make sure you pay your annual membership fee by February 28th.

If you are a TOC Member and your membership is not paid by February 28, 2023, you will become a WHR Member when you renew your membership.

Association Outlook

Montie D. asa executive Soules secretary/CEO

Value & Responsibility

M

arch is here already – it seems like just yesterday, we were celebrating the 2023 New Year. Time flies when you are busy. Looking back, the staff covered three National Shows in January alone, resulting in a lot of time for them to be out of the office. Tremendous, is a term to define those National Shows in 2023.

In OKC, Cattlemen’s Congress was a great success with the pen show and The Summit National Shorthorn Sale. Denver followed with numbers significantly up from the previous year. At Fort Worth, the Shorthorn Show was the largest breed show. The Shorthorn numbers were up by close to 30%. Then, changing gears, February 1, we make the trek to New Orleans for the NCBA Convention and Trade Show. The ASA sported a new booth which was popular with tons of positive comments and the most dynamic NCBA I have attended for Shorthorn related activities. The Grant Company was there filming; we had them shoot several interviews and future video-type podcasts we will be launching called “The Bull Pen.” One very interesting interview was with Shorthorn breeder, Frank Stoltzfus, who was just elected to the NCBA Board as Vice President of the Northeast region. We also had a very informative conversation on video with Wade Shafer and Chip Kemp of IGS, who run our genetic evaluation.

This conversation may help ranchers and farmers better understand the multi-breed genetic evaluation in which Shorthorn is partnering. I also had Patrick Wall, as a guest in The Bull Pen; Patrick is the executive of the Ultrasound Guidelines Council (UGC). He discussed the process and accreditations that ultrasound technicians and the labs that read the ultrasound data must meet. The staff was then off to the final National Show for this 2022-2023 show season - the Dixie National, in Mississippi, where entries 10

are up again. The activity in the breed is continuing to grow as we start the bull sale season. Interest and early signs that this should be another strong year to sell Shorthorn bulls. The demand for Shorthorn genetics is strong as we see new memberships in the ASA office daily.

The ASA Staff and Board continue to follow up with initiatives discussed and prioritized from last year’s Strategic Planning Session; Shorthorn podcasts is just one area that was identified as an initiative. The ASA is organizing a major educational forum for next year. The staff and Board are still planning this event and will announce the dates and location at a later time. Other initiatives from the strategic plan are in the works and some have already been implemented. I feel like the increased demand for our breed comes from multiple areas. One of those contributions is a result of the Board and staff actively addressing issues that were identified as initiatives last June during the strategic planning session.

As we prepare for spring and spring breeding season, I’d like to address the value of the pedigree, specifically the Shorthorn pedigree. Cattle breeders look at pedigrees for many different reasons.

Regardless of the individual breeder’s purpose, there is tremendous value to it, especially when we have over 150 years of the ASA administering the names and heritage on these documents. Then look back 200 years from today to the origin of the Coates Herd Book for Shorthorn Cattle. The lineage of these generations is a testimony to their heritage in the breed. Some feel Shorthorns may not be as pure as they would prefer because we have an open herd book, but if you look at the percentage of the cattle when they reach 127/128, the Asterisk (*) goes away, signifying a very pure product of Shorthorn genes. Attached to this legacy of genetic heritage is the performance information.

The stacked performance data gives even

more value to the pedigree document.

When generations of performance data are attached to each generations’ names, the value of this information really cannot be put in dollars and cents. The pedigree has the added value of years of genetic tracing along with the performance of those genetics passed to the individual that we can evaluate today, because of the dedication of our forefather’s passion for this breed and caring for the genetic transitions from generation to generation.

The open herd book allows us to bring in some new genetics to improve the breed, especially from another breed, with their own documentation of performance records attached. This is one big advantage of being part of a multibreed genetic evaluation. Yes, it may take time to get these new genetics to a pure state, but after seven generations, you are there. During that time, the performance selections will dictate the genetic impact those animals make on the breed.

Pull up a pedigree in Digital Beef sometime and take note of how much information is at your fingertips – plenty of data on the genetic inheritance for you to use and on which to base future decisions - everything you need to know from percentages on the ShorthornPlus and Purebreds to generations of performance documentation.

The strengths and weaknesses are displayed and if you study the data, decisions can be based on the parentage and/or the performance documentation attached.

The value of a breed’s heritage (displayed on a pedigree) gives a huge value to every Shorthorn breeder. They have the tools to make their mating decisions which, in turn, become part of this heritage and contribute to the breed’s makeup for future generations.

Every person breeding Shorthorn cattle is responsible for continuing this 200-yearold tradition with integrity and passion for our great breed!

Beef Business

Matt director of Woolfolk performance programs

Protect Your Investment This time of year, a lot of money is being invested in future herd sires for both Shorthorn breeders and commercial producers. Plenty of preparations go into making the selection of your next bull, and we all enjoy the thrill of winning the bid at auction or striking the deal private treaty. However, the purchase is merely the beginning. You want to protect your investment to maximize his return to your operation, and proper considerations need to be taken to maximize the performance of your newest team member while attempting to minimize your risk.

The first step to minimize your risk in this purchase is making the decision regarding mortality insurance on your new purchase. We all know accidents happen, and it seems that Murphy’s Law (if it can happen, it will) most directly corresponds to the best animals in the herd. I would anticipate that if you brought in a new young bull, he’s probably going to be one of your better prospects, and the small insurance premium (usually 6% of purchase price) is worth the peace of mind it brings that you are financially covered if the new guy does the unthinkable during his first breeding season. If at all possible, freezing a collection of semen to store can be viewed as an ”insurance policy” that the bull’s genetic power isn’t totally lost if he isn’t walking the pastures.

It’s important to remember if you bought a yearling bull, you bought the bovine equivalent of a teenage boy. They are still growing and developing, and they need the nutrition to help them reach peak physical maturity. Getting a bull into the right shape for breeding season might require losing some extra sale day condition before turnout. Going from a sale prep ration to breeding cows out on pasture could be a bit of a shock

14

shorthorn country • march 2023

to the system if you don’t help your bull transition to that exclusively forage diet.

Whatever your usual herd health protocol includes, it’s important to get your bull on the same program as the rest of the herd as soon as you can. Visit with the seller of the bull to see what measures they may have taken for herd health while he was still in their care.

Proper vaccinations, pour on, and even fly control can be important to keeping your bull in the best of shape during the summer working months.

Before turnout, check to make sure that the proper DNA work has been done on your new bull. With the ruling passed by the ASA Board of Directors in 2022, any bull that you buy born on or after January 1, 2022 will need to be 100K genomic tested with ASA in order to register his progeny. You can log in to Digital Beef to see if he has been tested by the seller before you take possession.

If his EPDs are highlighted in yellow, you are good to go. If not, you need to grab a DNA sample while he is still around the barn and it is handy to get.

In most cases, the seller of the bull will guarantee you that he will pass a breeding soundness exam (BSE). If the bull has not had a BSE at the time you purchase him, it is absolutely vital to have your veterinarian perform one before you turn him out. Catching the problem of an infertile bull is infinitely better when caught before turnout instead of when a chunk of your cows come back open. Most sellers will do everything they can to make the deal right if your new bull does pass a BSE and isn’t deemed fit to breed cows. It’s something you never want to have to discuss, but make sure you and the seller are clear on expectations from both sides if the bull isn’t a breeder. Refunds, sale credits, or replacement bulls are all ways

I have seen this handled. Both sides need to be ok with whatever arrangement is struck.

Now that you’ve got him insured, fed right, as healthy as can be, and certified to be fertile, it’s time to put the new guy to work. It’s important to not put too much workload on your young bull in his first breeding season. Sometimes we forget that young bulls aren’t machines.

They are being asked to grow, mature, and breed cows all at once, making it a tough stage of life. The old adage is that a young bull can handle one cow per one month of his age. If you are using him in a cleanup situation behind a round of AI, you can probably increase this number a little bit, provided you are getting decent conception rates with artificial insemination.

The perfect recipe for disaster when you bring home a new, young herd bull is to drive him to the pasture, open the gate, and kick him out with 40 cows and wish him well. You take proper care of the other major investments around your farm (tractors, pickups, hay balers).

Your bull should be no exception, as he is a major investment in the future of your genetics. Taking the extra steps early on in his development can make the difference between sending your bull to town after one or two breeding seasons or having him properly developed to still walk the pastures at a ripe old age.

Get Jazzed at NCBA Every year, thousands of cattlemen and cattlewomen gather for education and socialization. This year the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Convention was held in New Orleans, Louisiana, on February 1-3.

Several International Genetics Solution partners were again in the same area to create a ‘breed alley.’ This provided attendees the chance to visit with multiple breeds and learn about what those breeds could add to their operation. We had a new American Shorthorn Association booth with a lighted back wall and 12-foot-tall towers with Shorthorn facts and breeder

testimonials. This new booth was highly complimented by attendees and other breeds. We had many people stop to learn about Shorthorn cattle and pick up promotional items. It was enjoyable to hear stories from attendees who used to or still have Shorthorn cattle. Make plans to join us in February 2024 in Orlando, Florida. We love visiting with our Shorthorn family at NCBA! The Grant Company also captured several vidoes with industry professionals and Montie, be sure to watch for those soon!

During NCBA, I also had the chance to attend the Livestock Publications

Council Luncheon and network with other members of the industry. The LPC is the group that organizes and plans the Ag Media Summit, an event I attend each summer. I have joined several committees to assist in planning AMS and it was nice to put more names to faces during lunch.

Now it is time to get back to planning for the National Junior Shorthorn Show & Youth Conference, it will be here before we know it. We are looking forward to seeing everyone in Des Moines this summer!

Richardson Farms Shorthorns - Sam & Wilma Richardson When you think of someone in the Shorthorn breed that represents dependability and knowledge of genetics then Sam and Wilma Richardson, Richardson Farms Shorthorns, have to be at the top of your list. They have been members of the American Shorthorn Association since 1965, but Sam’s knowledge of the breed goes back to when he started showing Shorthorns at the age of nine, and his family bred and sold the Grand Champion Steer over all breeds at the International Livestock Show in 1947 in Chicago. They sold the steer to Claude Millwee from Fort Cobb, Oklahoma.

Sam and Wilma were high school sweethearts and married in 1955. They have four children; Sammy Richardson, Sherrie Smith, Sarah Cardoza, and Shelly Ramsey. All of their children exhibited Shorthorns throughout their high school years, but Shelly continued showing all throughout her college years. In her sophomore year of college, she exhibited the Grand Champion Bred & Owned Heifer at the NJSS in California, as well as winning the Senior Champion Showmanship.

Their involvement goes well beyond just being a member of the ASA. Sam worked for the Chevron Corporation for 32 years and Wilma worked for the United Postal Service for 26 years.

Their little town of Bray, Oklahoma has benefitted from the leadership of Sam for more than 45 years as a member of the Town Council, and he has served as Mayor for more than 40 years.

Both have served on various committees and boards throughout their community, but their true service has always been to the Shorthorn family.

Sam has served on the Oklahoma Shorthorn Association Board for many years and many terms, serving as President. Richardson Farms received the honor of Oklahoma Breeder of the Year.

Wilma has been involved with the Lassie Association on the state and national level. She served on the National Lassie Board for 5 years and was recognized as the National Lassie of the Year. She also served as a 4-H Leader for 25 years and was recognized as 4-H Leader of the Year in 1990.

The Sam & Wilma Richardson Family at the 2023 Cattlemen’s Congress in OKC.

SR Red Riders Drive

1947 Steer

Richardson Farms genetics gained national recognition in the late 1980s and early 90s with the introduction of Rodeo Drive genetics into their herd.

This pairing resulted in producing SR Red Riders Drive which was sold to Leveldale Farms at the Western Livestock Sale in Denver in 1992. The Rodeo Drive genetics also produced SR Crystal Drive, which was exhibited by Shelly and was named Grand Champion Bred & Owned at the California NJSS. In recent years, Sam has focused his herd genetics more toward high-performing EPDs and feedlot performance. His purchase of Waukaru Gold Card brought outstanding performance to his herd, and the bull

Waukaru Gold Card

was named Performance Sire of the Year. Gold Card’s son, SR Gold Band was recognized as the High Indexing and $BMI Bull of the Breed. Those genetics are still setting records at feedlots, gaining the attention of many commercial cattlemen.

At the age of 86, both Sam and Wilma are starting to think about slowing down. They enjoy getting to follow their youngest granddaughter to shows, both zipping around on their scooters. Sam’s blood will always bleed Red, Roan, and White, and they will continue to promote the Shorthorn Breed.

Congratulations to Richardson Farms on being our 2023 Show Honoree!

Next Chapter As we all return home from the National shows, life slows down a bit.

We are greeted with warming weather, calving season, and turkeys gobbling. It has been another amazing year of cattle shows for the Shorthorn breed with a record number of entries. The cattle sales have been through the roof as the demand is rising for elite Shorthorn females and the bulls it takes to make them. It is a great time to buy into this breed. We are all sitting on the edge of our seats to see where the breed goes in the next 5 years!

We have a lot coming up on the calendar as a junior board and the AJSA. First, I would like to remind everyone of the 50/50 raffle that is going on for the youth development fund to help raise money for the National Junior Shorthorn Show. Tickets are $20 and the winner gets half of the money raised!

Please contact a junior board member or Shelby to purchase tickets.

This year the NJSS will be in the

beautiful city of Des Moines, Iowa.

Entries and ownership deadline is May 1 with a late entry deadline of May 15.

Keep this in mind when out buying calves this spring.

One of my favorite experiences on the board was the Summit in 2021 in Amarillo. This year it will be in Phoenix, Arizona. I strongly encourage you to go, the experience was amazing. You can find more details about that on AJSA website or the Summit Facebook page.

Contact Shelby for any questions.

Junior Board applications will be due on April 10th. I know I have enjoyed my time on the board, met a lot of good people, learned some amazing leadership skills, and gained another family. I’m excited for the next chapter in my life, and I’m excited to see who I pass my jacket onto so that person can continue the red jacket legacy. It has always been an honor being on this board and writing these articles. See you all in June, eat beef, and God bless.

Do you want to be a leader for junior members?

The AJSA junior board members lead Shorthorn youth, assist with junior national planning, help fundraise and more! If you are interested in applying, visit juniorshorthorn.org for the application and requirements. Applications are due April 10 to shelby@shorthorn.org.

Christina National Shorthorn Wenderski Lassie Queen Chair

Another Chapter to Write I want to take this opportunity to hint at some exciting changes that will be coming to the National Shorthorn Lassie Association. Over the last year, members of the board have been meeting to discuss and evaluate what we feel the mission of the association should be as we move forward. I am very excited to say that we all agree that Lassies should be empowering, educating, and promoting women in agriculture. We are currently developing ways to have more educational opportunities targeting young women in the Shorthorn association to including panel interviews, podcasts, social media take overs, and networking opportunities. Please be sure to follow us on Facebook, check the website, and the Shorthorn Insider as we announce upcoming events.

We also will continue to be the support for our queens. We have been fortunate enough to be able to increase the travel expenses for our queen as well as continue to offer scholarships.

We are currently selling chances for the custom-made cuff bracelet designed by Kay Knight. Proceeds from the sale of chances go to support the scholarship fund, with the hopes of increasing the offering. If you have not purchased a ticket yet, please be sure to contact a board member. We will be happy to assist.

And mentioning our Queens, ladies applications are due no later than May 1, 2023 for the 2023-2024 National Shorthorn Lassie Queen contest. I am very excited about my new role as queen chairperson and hope to create a fun and uplifting environment for our young ladies. If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas please feel free to contact me through social media. My hope is to be a resource and support for ladies as they go through the Queen 70

shorthorn country • march 2023

contest and any step along the way. I look forward to seeing many smiling faces and empowering the next generation of Lassies. The fellowship of the Lassies is truly one of a kind and I cannot wait to

share in that with you all. With the many new changes ahead, the future is bright for the Lassies and I hope that you will all join with us as we move forward.

News & Notes Farewells Arnold Lyle Brooks, 80, of Prophetstown, IL, passed away on January 18, 2023, at Rock River Hospice.

He was born in Sterling, Illinois on February 2, 1942 to Lyle and Dorothy (Arnold) Brooks.

Arnie grew up on his family’s farm and was proud to have lived his whole life on one of two farms along the Rock River, until recently moving to Morningside in Sterling. He was a graduate of Prophetstown High School, where he enjoyed softball, football, band and FFA. He graduated from the University of Illinois; he was on the livestock judging team, played the saxophone in the Marching Illini, and was a member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, where he made lifelong friends. His love of the Fighting Illini continued throughout his life, and he proudly wore his Illini cap everywhere.

Arnie was a cattleman, showing Shorthorns at county and state fairs. He met Jane Zuidema of Morrison at the Whiteside County Fair when they were both 16, and they have been together ever since, marrying on February 3, 1963. Arnie’s two passions in life were farming and his family. He and Jane cultivated and grew the family farm, following in the footsteps of his parents and grandparents, and passed the legacy of hard work and love of the land to the next generations.

In the community, he was involved in the Masonic Lodge, Whiteside County Pork Producers, and the Whiteside FS Board, and was a member of Ebenezer Reformed Church. He and Jane enjoyed golf and travel. Highlights were their trips to Australia and New Zealand, and spending time with friends each winter in Siesta Key, Florida. They spent many 74

hours watching their grandchildren show cattle and play sports.

Arnie’s greatest source of joy was his family. He is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 60 years, Jane; daughter Deborah (Chris) Bostak of Fort Collins, CO; and son Jeffrey (Shelley) Brooks of Prophetstown, along with four grandchildren: Sam Bostak, Denver, CO; Max Bostak, Chicago, IL; Emily Brooks, Prophetstown; and Ella Brooks,

Prophetstown. In addition, he leaves a sister-in-law Carol Zuidema, several nieces and nephews, and many Brooks Cousins.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother-in-law Allen Zuidema.

His quick wit, ability to make a friend of anyone he met, and generous heart will be greatly missed.

What is your must-have item at a cattle show?

Last year it was just my mom and I, so having to carry everything is alot easier with a good wagon. It also makes for lots of fun rides with your friends during the show!

Favorite show product?

I love Hocus Pocus. After the show my job is to get all the glue out that my dad and the guys put on my heifers while they are fitting.

What is your favorite activity outside of AJSA? I love to run track, I run long distance, the mile, the 800m and during fall I run cross country.

What do you want to be when you grow up/future career plans?

I paln to be a veterinarian wen I grow up. I will work on both small and large animals and maybe even help my dad with his cow work.
