New Rule for Milking Shorthorn/Lincoln Red Dual Registration As of July 1, 2023, all Milking Shorthorn and Lincoln Red cattle that are to be brought into the American Shorthorn Association herd book as dual registered animals must be tested as an AI sire or donor dam prior to herd book acceptance, due to the lack of information available in their online registries.

The Board of Directors unanimously approved a new rule, which begins January 1, 2022: “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 Natural or AI, 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. Starting July 1, 2023, a manual processing fee will be incurred for those samples sent to the office for preprocessing.

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.

Matt director of Woolfolk performance programs

Introducing the Shorthorn E.D.G.E Show The 2024 Cattlemen’s Congress is going to have some additional Shorthorn flare to it, as the inaugural Shorthorn E.D.G.E. Show will take place during the OKC festivities in January 2024. The E.D.G.E. (Exposition Driving Genetic Excellence) is an additional chance to exhibit your purebred Shorthorn cattle in a new format, combining phenotypic and genotypic evaluation under a panel of three judges. The E.D.G.E. will be a separate show from the current open and pens shows, but entries in both those events are welcome to exhibit in the E.D.G.E. The E.D.G.E. show is an opportunity for the Shorthorn breed to lead the way in the industry with this new format of cattle exhibition. While competition and breeder recognition are paramount in the drive to create this event, breeder education is also a crucial piece of the E.D.G.E. This show will be evaluated by three judges selected from across the beef industry. The entrants in the E.D.G.E. will be evaluated in two parts. The judge panel will be asked to evaluate the EPD profiles of the cattle, ranking them in order of preference for genetic merit. The same panel will then judge the cattle in person for phenotypic quality in OKC. The two portions will be combined to tabulate winning entries in each class to advance to divisional competition.

The core function of the E.D.G.E. from an educational perspective is to allow breeders (both exhibitor and spectator) to identify the cattle that combine genotypic and phenotypic quality and learning of the importance of having both merits in a prize Shorthorn animal.

The inaugural E.D.G.E show will be open only to purebred Shorthorn cattle.

There are some data requirements in place for entries into this event, such as recorded weights and mandatory genomic testing for all entries. Those are things that will need to be on your to-do list for this fall if you wish to participate 12

in this one-of-a-kind show at Cattlemen’s Congress in 2024. A full listing of rules and more information will be published in the July issue of the Shorthorn Country.

Be on the lookout for that, and it’s never too early to be scouting for your entries to the E.D.G.E.!

The idea and implementation of the Shorthorn E.D.G.E show is driven by breeders from all angles. The inception of the E.D.G.E concept came from a Shorthorn breeder. Our breeder-based Genetic Improvement Committee discussed the concept at length over the summer meetings before agreeing to allow the ASA Board and Staff to assemble a subcommittee to hash out the details. This subcommittee did the heavy lifting, donating several hours of their time over the winter to discuss

shorthorn country • may/june 2023

how to make the E.D.G.E. unique event for participants, spectators, and the Shorthorn breed.

Thanks to these gentlemen who worked alongside your ASA show staff on this committee: Jeff Bedwell, Chair, Tyler Cates, Ethan Gilman, Aaron Hahn, Rick Leone, Steve McGill and Cody Nelson.

It’s easy to walk in the woods when there’s a path already cleared. It’s much more difficult to clear the path to take your hike. With the development of the Shorthorn E.D.G.E., it’s felt like we are clearing the path for the Shorthorn breed to showcase our cattle that combine genetic excellence with phenotypic function. I’m excited to see this event come to fruition next year.

In the Know

Wade director of shows & member Minihan communications; customer service specialist

Be in the Know for 2023 Life is busy and sometimes it’s hard to keep track of everything going on around you. But don’t worry, we are here to help you! Well, at least with Shorthorn events that are coming up.

There is a calendar located on the ASA website (shorthorn.org) that we post up and coming Shorthorns events that will be happening in your area or surrounding states. I ask that any state association that has state related upcoming events, to please contact us and we will get this updated on the ASA calendar.

With that note, it is also time to update each State Association’s Board of Directors listed on the website. This is a great tool used for new members joining the association to find ways to get involved and communicate with those breeders leading their state. If you are a new state association director or a past director with updated information, please email wade@shorthorn.org with that information and we will get that updated on the website. We are currently working on reaching out to each states Board of Directors to get updated contact information. A roster of Officers for each state will be listed in the July issue of the Shorthorn Country Magazine.

It’s always great to communicate and keep members up to date with the newest things happening. Check out Matt’s article on page 12, where he announces our new E.D.G.E. Show that will be happening at the 2024

Cattlemen’s Congress. This is a new show that will be educational and promotional of the Shorthorn Breed by combining both phenotypes and genotypes of the animals. Watch out for more information and events like this happening on the website calendar.

As you may have seen in last months Shorthorn Country, we released the 20232024 Point Show System. If you missed it, you will find it in this issue following the 2022-2023 Show Point Winners.

Many factors have been considered when selecting our 2023-2024 participating shows, including entry history and show schedules. Each show will be evaluated on a yearly basis for their participation. The selected shows present solid numbers with the anticipation for continued growth at many.

As always, we look forward to our membership’s participation in the selected shows and cannot wait to see you there!

National Awards consist of National Show Female, National Show Bull and divisional awards.

Region Assignments :: Map No changes have been made to a state’s regional assignment.

Again for the 2023-2024 show season, exhibitors and breeders will have access to view the current show standings on the Show Points page in DigitalBeef.

Please feel free to reach out to either Cassie or Wade if you have any questions regarding the show system.

National Awards National Awards will be calculated from the seven total National Shows: five National Shows and two Super National Shows. An animal MUST exhibit at two shows on the National level to be considered for National Awards.

Regional Awards Each Region consists of four total shows: two Regional shows, one Super Regional Show and one National Show.

Regional Awards will be calculated from points earned at each show by an individual animal. To be considered for awards, an animal MUST exhibit at two shows within a region. Overall Regional winners will receive year end awards.

Point Distribution Points will be distributed based on the provided point scale, with Super National Shows receiving the most points and Regional Shows receiving the fewest points as indicated. An animal’s earned points will be recorded with the ASA and used to calculate Regional and National Awards.

2022-2023

Regional Show Winners * Editor’s Note: Winners are selected through a point tally process based on points earned at various Regional shows and provided by the American Shorthorn Association and the Regional Shows. Point amounts are based on the designated show level. As with the reporting of show results, Shorthorn Country assumes no responsibility for partial or incomplete listings of multiple ownership of animals. Ownership information was provided by the American Shorthorn Association and is based on ownership during the 2022-2023 show season as recorded in the registry. We regret any errors or omissions which may have occurred.

Award Recognition Overall Regional winners in each region will receive an award at the 2023 ASA Annual Meeting Awards Banquet on Saturday, October 21st, 2023, in Kansas City, Mo. Region Divisional winners and runner-up animals are recognized here in the Shorthorn Country, but will NOT receive additional recognition/awards at the banquet.

Regional Qualifications To qualify for Regional Points, an animal must be exhibited at a minimum of two (2) shows within the region.

Any combination of the following shows will meet the regional qualifications: • Regional Show • Super Regional Show • National Show within the designated region Only shows that are attended within a given region count toward that region’s points. A National Show within a region will count toward Regional Points, but Regional Shows do not count toward National Points.

Points earned at individual shows can be viewed through the “Show Points” page by members on DigitalBeef. This was a new feature introduced for the 2022-2023 Season. Keep a look out for this feature in the 2023-2024 Show season!

To be awarded the Regional Show Bull or Regional Show Female of the Year, an animal must also win a division within that region.

In the event a regional show does not use the provided ASA Division breaks, the following policy will be used: Any points that an animal receives at a regional show where ASA division breaks are not used, the animal and points will be moved to the proper division that the animal qualifies for based on ASA Show Classifications.

Reach for the Sky will pick back up where you left off at the next junior nationals.

My dream to wear the red jacket started as an exhibitor at the 2012 junior nationals in Grand Island, Nebraska. I went home with a load of prizes which included a box of clippers, hence was the start of me carving out my future in the Shorthorn breed. I spent many hours clipping every calf, dog or cat that I could get my hands on. Our cowcation continued to be a time to see our Shorthorn family and gain more friends and experiences that we can all pass along to the next generation. Junior nationals can be more than a tradition, it’s a place where dreams really can come true. I am still perfecting these dreams that started at my first show, but I hope to inspire more along the way. The theme, Shorthorn Kingdom, is very fitting for me. I am often compared to a lanky cowboy character; Woody from Toy Story and I hope you will join me in embracing his famous comment to “reach for the sky”. Let’s make this 2023 National Junior Shorthorn Show & Youth Conference in Des Moines one to remember!

Is It your last JunIor natIonal?

For those AJSA members participating in their last junior national, contact shelby@shorthorn.org for the list of questions to complete to be featured in the exhibitor folder! We will include your answers and 3-4 photos you send.

Words of Advice

“Reach for the sky...”

- Woody, Toy Story

“

As we embark on the 2023 National Junior Shorthorn Show in Des Moines, Iowa, my mind is flooded with memories of my first “cow-cation” to Des Moines in 2006, at just 4 years old to attend Junior Nationals. Taking these trips with my family, I remember seeing a few familiar faces, having fun with the “big kids”, and my favorite part, playing with my toy tractors there.

There wasn’t an end to these summer events because once we got home, we spent an entire year preparing our Shorthorn cattle, working on our art projects, and making speeches for 4-H and the national show. I think my entire life has been established around what we would whisper behind my dad’s back, a family “cow-cation”. This is where you pack up the entire family, a week’s worth of goods, projects, the pride of your herd and head to another state to see your stock show friends. Of course, it is always based around competition, but that is not what I remember. These friendships are as close as family. When you leave, you shake hands, hug necks and know that if you won’t see them at another show throughout the year, you

Junior Board Candidates

Kylee Dameron is currently a senior at Silex High School. After graduation, she plans to attend North Central Missouri College. She plans to major in Animal Science with a minor in Animal Nutrition. With her degree she plans to manage transportation of AI and ET. Kylee is the daughter of Kyle Dameron of Silex, Missouri. Kylee attended her first Shorthorn junior national in 2014 and has been involved with the Shorthorn industry for as long as she can remember.

Kylee is involved with her FFA Chapter, currently serving as the VicePresident, helping to lead 200 members.

She is also the Missouri Junior Shorthorn Association Vice-President. She serves on the Missouri Club Calf Board where she has to gather sponsorships and donations.

“Ever since a director helped me at my first junior national in 2014, I have looked up to the red coats,” Kylee said.

“As I have got older, I have become an always willing to lend a helping hand type of person.”

Mackenlee Evans is currently a senior at Idalou High School and will be attending West Texas A&M University in the fall, majoring in Animal Science. She would like to expand her existing herd and market locally. She is the daughter of

Katrina Evans of Lorenzo, Texas.

Mackenlee comes from past generations of Shorthorn breeders; her grandfather and grandmother were both on the Texas Shorthorn Association board in the 1980s and 90s. Mackenlee has been involved for the last ten years in the Shorthorn Association. She has served in leadership positions with the TSA and been involved with FFA. She wants to inspire the upcoming generations to get involved in the industry that helped make her who she is today.

“Many wearing the red coat in the past have been great inspirations for my future and I have always hoped to pass that on to others,” Mackenlee said. “As a leader, I plan to help others transition into being more involved in leadership roles within their state breed associations.”

Hannah Wetzel is currently attending Iowa State University majoring in Agricultural Business, Accounting and Finance. She is the daughter of Mike and Lisa Wetzel of Faribault, Minnesota.

Hannah began her experience with the Shorthorn Association at her first junior national in 2013 in Des Moines. She hasn’t missed a junior national since her first one in 2013 and will be running for the board back where she got her start.

She has stayed involved with Shorthorns at the national level while also being involved with Minnesota FFA, 4H and Iowa State University.

“From my first junior national in 2013, to my tenth junior national in Kansas City, the leaders in the red coats have been role models, friendly faces and a helping hand,” Hannah said. “I strive to be that friendly face and helping hand to the current and future generations to come, to be that role model to someone, that the past directors have been to me.”

Samantha VanVorhis will be attending Oklahoma State University in the fall to major in Agricultural Communications and Leadership with a minor in Political Science. After graduation, she plans to attend law school. She is the daughter of Dean and Michelle VanVorhis of Bowling Green, Ohio.

Samantha had her first experience with Shorthorn cattle at the North American International Livestock Expo when she was ten years old. After running late to her class, a junior board member made her laugh and from then on she idolized the junior board. She has stayed involved since then at a state and national level as well as being involved in school activities and FFA. She wants to have a voice for people, which is why she plans to attend law school and become a lobbyist.

“The ability to be apart and aid in huge moments for people is something that I love,” Samantha said. “And the board does just that. By taking away the jitters of young showmen away and helping people through the ring with stubborn Shorthorns is just a sliver of what I hope to do if given the opportunity to serve on the board. I want to give back to the community that has given me so much.”

3 open positions Eligible seats are elected each summer during the Youth Conference at the National Junior Shorthorn Show by their peers to lead the organization and carry out activities, programs, and events for the association.

With the mission to positively impact the leaders of tomorrow and today by committing themselves to the Shorthorn breed, its members, and each other, makes this a tremendous opportunity for learning about teamwork, responsibility and leadership.

Retiring board members will pass off their red jacket during the awards ceremony Friday, June 23.

Sale Reports The Bull Sale

Sale Summary

81 Bulls.........................$ 411,500 ..............$ 5,080

Saturday, April 1, 2023 Paint Valley Farm Millersburg, Ohio Auctioneer: Ron Kreis Sale Management: Aegerter Marketing Services, Inc by: Darryl Rahn

The comment was heard several times in the weeks leading up to The Bull Sale that you could not sell 80 bulls in one place at one time in the state of Ohio. It happened and it was a huge success. The big crowd that attended the sale came from throughout the States and Canada.

News & Notes Farewells Richard A. “Dick” Osterday, 87, passed away Saturday, March 25, 2023, in Hastings, NE surrounded by his loving family.

A private family burial will take place at a later date. There will be no viewing or visitation. Memorials may be given to the family for a memorial to be established at a later date.

Dick was born in Dell Rapids, SD on February 18, 1936, to Herb & Marie (Comstock) Osterday. He attended schools in Dell Rapids, Dempster, and Castlewood, SD, and attended Northern State Teacher’s College in Aberdeen, SD. Dick graduated from college in 1958 and did graduate work at the University of Northern Colorado and Chadron State College. He began his teaching

died in 2009 and he spent the next 14 years being a snowbird at Lake Havasu, AZ in the winters, and fishing at Bob’s Resort at Lake Oahe in South Dakota in the summers. He met many wonderful friends from all over the country. His favorite role was being “Gramps” to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Dick was preceded in death by his parents; four brothers; two sisters; an infant daughter; and his wife, Elaine.

Survivors include his son, Rick (Sandy) of Java, SD; daughter, Renee (Tom) Callaghan of Hastings, NE; four grandchildren, Blane (Liz) Osterday and Clay (Erin) Osterday both of Java, SD, Kelsey (Jake) Stokely of Hastings, NE, and Drew (Mikayla) Callaghan of Omaha, NE; five great-grandchildren, Gatlin, Callan, Quinnlee, and Deacon Stokely, and Vivian Osterday.

New Rule for Milking Shorthorn/Lincoln Red Dual Registration As of July 1, 2023, all Milking Shorthorn and Lincoln Red cattle that are to be brought into the American Shorthorn Association herd book as dual registered animals must be tested as an AI sire or donor dam prior to herd book acceptance, due to the lack of information available in their online registries.

Update for DNA Testing

Starting July 1, 2023, all animals tested through the American Shorthorn Association must have a registration or recorded number to be accepted for testing. This is only a slight adjustment to the current rule, which applies to samples sent directly to the lab. This rule adjustment includes any animal tested – whether the samples are sent directly to the lab or to the ASA office for pre-processing. Also starting July 1, 2023, a manual processing fee will also be incurred for those samples sent to the office for preprocessing. We are trying to encourage breeders to send their samples directly to Neogen, once their DNA submission form is approved and in their hands. If there is an error in the registry holding your animal up from being pushed through as registered, you would need to go the ‘recorded number’ route. In the birth entry screen, you can un-check the ‘Register?” box, re-validate, and commit your animal to the registry as recorded to receive that ‘U’ recorded number.

New Digital Invoicing for ASA

I. n an effort to reduce the amount of paper sent out of the office, statements will now be emailed, rather than printed. Please be sure to double-check that you have a correct email on file in the registry. If you wish to continue with the printed version, simply log into your DigitalBeef account and go to the ‘Prefs’ tab to update your Invoicing preference (see screenshot). You can also call the office to make the switch.
