New DNA Card Fees

Our approved lab for DNA, Neogen, has increased the cost of blood and hair cards to the ASA and as a result, it is necessary to start charging for them to cover this increase, plus the postage it takes to send them.

Blood cards are now $1/card and hair cards are $2/card. Methods for obtaining them have not changed. Please call the office or fill out the card request on shorthorn.org to order. The lab’s preferred methods are TSU samples and blood cards. TSU kits can be purchased directly through Neogen or Allflex.

*Remember, there is an additional fee for testing hair and semen.

**DO NOT test twins via blood samples.

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.

Don’t miss out on utilizing the new DNA feature within Digital Beef, which allows you to easily select your animals for testing, and all their data is auto-filled in. From there, you just pick which tests you want done, print the form, and send it in with your samples. No more messy or crowded hand-writing necessary!

Reaping the Harvest

As the year flies by, we are already in November, one of the busiest times of the year for the association and Shorthorn breeders; including the start-up of national shows, annual meetings, and preparing for activities in 2023. Wow, it does not seem possible to be talking about 2023 already. It is just around the corner as we finish up fall sales and go headlong onto the holiday season.

Looking back, the past year has been good for Shorthorns. We registered over 15,000 head for the second consecutive year, sales have been strong, with many making record amounts and/or averages and the number of animals exhibited at most shows is up from the regional to national level.

During November, one of our busiest months, many are finishing crop harvests and getting the calf crop weaned. In the cattle industry, weaning is harvest time for the cattle industry. Many of you spend time and money evaluating the crop yields, genetics and fertilizer used plus some number crunching to ensure next year’s crop is even better. Reviewing the calf crop should be just as important. Weaning weights, cow production, sires used, and many other components go into your breeding and management selections. The big difference is that next year’s calf crop is already in the oven and will be born in the spring. So, your analysis cannot have an effect for another year out. This is still important as you may find a few low producers that need to be eliminated from the herd. The big cost of open cows needs to be addressed, especially in these times of accelerated inflation as costs continue to rise. Those that spend the time and evaluate the bottom end and remove them will reap huge benefits in the future. Many areas in the country are in severe drought conditions resulting in a record number of cows harvested and replacement heifers going into the feedlots. This will

lead to an exceptionally strong market in the coming years. These activities are not the normal 2% or 3% that we have consistently seen in the past. We are hearing estimates of 10% or 12% fewer cows in the future. This will allow the market to hit some highs we have never seen. The Shorthorn breed is already seeing that increase in value in our cattle. Now is the time to get prepared for the future. The good cattle of this breed will be worth more than ever. Just look at the sales this fall - the surge has already started. It is a great time to be part of this industry and particularly in the Shorthorn Breed!

I just want to mention some activities happening this month in Louisville besides all the shows. The Shorthorn Youth Development Fund Foundation is sponsoring the fundraiser we have all come to enjoy in the barns: Deck the Stalls on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 12th. 100% of the proceeds from this go to sponsor the Junior National. That same evening, we will host a special social commemorating the 150 years of the ASA and honor past Builders of the Breed and past ASA Presidents and Board members. This will be a fun time for all to make new friends and get reacquainted with the Shorthorn Family.

November 18th and 19th will be the ASA Annual Meeting in Kansas City at the Hilton Airport Hotel. There will be a social Friday evening and a very interesting educational forum on Saturday morning. We will address the new strategic plan put in place by the ASA Board and Staff focused on looking at sustainability for both the ASA and you, the membership. Saturday afternoon is the Annual Meeting, and the Awards Banquet is on Saturday evening. Please register for this event on the shorthorn.org website so we can plan the number of meals needed. Look for details on page 17 in this issue of the magazine.

The ASA Board of Directors met in September and made the necessary decision to raise some fees. I do not think any of us are immune to the extreme inflation and cost of doing business felt by everyone, including the ASA office. It was important for the ASA Board to get out in front of this before the possibility of getting into a hole that we would have to dig out of. We have shared this through video communication and in the magazine. The new fees will take effect Jan. 1, 2023, except for the WHR and membership fees. Those two fees were mailed out in November; we felt it was best to get out in front of the changes with the information so you would not be surprised. Please check out the new fee schedule and information on pages 18, 20-21.

These times open new avenues that many of us may not have traveled before. Inflation rates and interest rates many have not seen. I remember paying 12% and even 18% interest when I was in my twenties. Why do I start on this topic? Well, it is easy for me to address. It is time to own something you can touch and feel; that is from experience. A Shorthorn cow is one of those assets that can and will grow in value as inflation controls our future. Just take a moment and look at the history and even closer to today, the past couple of years. Analyze the value of a good Shorthorn and how it has accelerated. Look into the future and see the forecasted cow numbers and need for protein. Purebred cattle have always held their value in times like these. They will grow in value in some cases, the good ones, faster than inflation when you must borrow money at a higher interest rate. The product you spend your money on had better be able to gain at a faster value than the interest rate or the pace of inflation. It can be the time to “Reap the Harvest” with that solid, good old standby, “The Shorthorn Cow!”

Beef Business

Many of you were probably hoping to leave complex genetic talk behind when you walked out of that college classroom for the last time. As technology advances in the seedstock cattle industry, you may be having nightmare flashbacks to those genetics courses! Genomic testing and that technology come to mind as the prime example that makes many cattle breeders break out in a cold sweat.

While it is discussed at length the importance of genomics and utilizing the technology to enhance the accuracy of an animal’s EPDs, it’s a complicated concept to explain. Many of the brightest brains in our industry struggle with how to relay the technical information involved in genetic evaluation to a practical perspective. Instead of rambling on about the technicalities, perhaps a visual is the best teaching tool to demonstrate how utilizing genomics can help us better identify the true genetic values of our Shorthorn cattle. While this demonstration may overly simplify the complex process, I call this a successful exercise if it helps you grasp it even a slight bit better.

In this illustration, we have a sire and dam who produced four full brothers. The colored bars constitute the genetic material of each animal, beginning with the grandparents of the four brothers. Since basic genetics teach us that any mammal inherits 50% of its genetic material from each parent, our sire and dam each have half their genetic material from one parent (thus one bar of each color). Now, when they are bred to each other, they will pass on 50% of their genetic material to each offspring. Of course, knowing which 50% they will pass on is the part that makes cattle breeding so challenging! In the four sons, each has 50% of their genetic material from

the sire, and 50% from the dam. None of these four sons look much alike based on their genetic material. This occurs because of a process known as meiosis, which creates the reproductive cells of both the Sire and Dam. The genetic material of the parent is essentially split in half, creating reproductive cells that are not identical to each other. If you’ve ever wondered why your brother or sister was so different from you while having the same parents, meiosis is to blame!

Countless combinations of genetic material can be created thanks to the production of reproductive cells with meiosis. In this simplified exercise, there are MILLIONS of possible genetic combinations that can be made for one animal. Knowing that cattle have 30 pairs of chromosomes, imagine how many possible combinations can be made when sperm and egg meet! If we were to think about what economically relevant traits are controlled by genetics (all of them), the diagram gets even harder to grasp. Is Son 1’s “yellow” genetic material the right

pieces to make him a calving ease sire? Did Son 2 inherit the right combination of “blue” and “red” from his dam to provide extra growth to his calves? Does the combination of all genetics make Son 3 or Son 4 a better option to add carcass quality in their offspring?

How can we answer those questions? With genomic technology! When you take a sample and send it to ASA for genomic testing, that test is analyzing the genetic material of that animal to determine which material is there in their DNA. Through lots of research, geneticists have been able to identify certain genes or groups of genes that have specific effects on the various traits of importance. The genomic test looks at the genome of Son 1 and determine if he has the genetic material that positively influences calving ease, or if Son 2 inherited the right material from mom and dad to be a high growth bull. With that analysis of their genomes, the data gathered is applied to the traits that we have EPDs for, and that information is submitted to our weekly EPD runs. The data from the genomic tests are what influence the increase in accuracy and possible changes in a genomic tested animal’s EPD values.

We have been asked before if we are able to see and share the information that goes from the genomic test and into the EPD calculations. That information isn’t shared with the ASA, so it is not something we can pass along for you (or us) to analyze. Just like you, we only see the results of the genomic test through the increased accuracies and possible changes in values on the animal’s genomically enhanced EPDs.

Cattle breeding has always been a bit of an art form, but scientific concepts play a growing role in the craft. With the concept of genomics, identifying genetic material, and the vast number of genetic combinations, it’s ironic that artwork can help explain the scientific concept. Since cattle breeding is far from being black and white, it helps to add a little color sometimes.

It is once again that time of year – the leaves have changed and fallen, our children are hoarding Halloween candy, and of course, it’s time for WHR assessments to be completed! WHR breeders should have received the 2023 WHR assessments in the mail recently, as they were printed November 1 and sent out. Assessments also became available to be completed online through the Digital Beef portal, as of that Novevember 1 date. As highlighted in my other article, fees have increased this year. See the table to the right which explains the new WHR assessment fees:

Here are a few quick tips/reminders as you prepare to tackle assessments:

Always be sure you are not using Internet Explorer

If you are culling an animal (online), click the “dispose/ exempt“ option which provides a drop-down menu of cull codes. Once you select that code, click “save” directly to the right of it.

If you want your animal to remain active, don’t do anything to her; don’t give her a code (online) and don’t write anything next to her (paper copy). This leaves her active and ready to work with for the upcoming year.

Be sure to look over your list carefully. Heifers do show up if they will be of technical age to calf in the upcoming year. Be sure to give

them a code “51” if they are not going to be having their first calf in 2023. This holds them over until next year’s assessment.

When you click “Mark my assessments as complete” at the top of your screen, let the program think. You should automatically be directed to your home page where you can pay for the assessment and your membership together once it’s complete.

Upcoming Show Reminders

Throughout the fall I’ve heard judges comment that Shorthorn breeders should be proud of the cattle they are raising, and ultimately bringing to the show ring. It feels good to hear these comments about our breed, and I hope this encourages you as breeders to keep doing the good work. Wade and I have had a blast traveling from East to West and North to South attending five Super Regional Shows, and already 2 National Shows. As fun as these shows have been, great anticipation builds as we prepare for NAILE and the 2023 shows yet this show season.

Speaking of NAILE, if you haven’t sent Wade (wade@shorthorn.org) your stalling requests yet, November 4th is the absolute last day requests can be considered. NAILE historically is one of our largest shows, which means stalling gets tight and, at times, near impossible.

To help us and help other breeders, please let Wade know if you will be scratching your entries ASAP.

Cattlemen’s Congress entries are now open and close November 18th. Late entries may be accepted through December 1st. Cattlemen’s Congress processes stalling requests with entries and lists very specific instructions on their website to ensure you have the best chance of getting your request. Please read these before entering. If you have Cattlemen’s Congress questions, please send those to Cassie (cassie@shorthorn. org).

National Western Stock Show returns to our list of National Shows this year, with entries closing November 20th. Late entries will be considered until December 21st. Wade and I visited NWSS last year, we saw exciting updates to the facilities and look forward

to sharing these updates with more exhibitors this year who enter.

Fort Worth Stock Show closes out January. Entries for FWSS close November 15th and must be mailed to FWSS. Unique to FWSS, open show entries must be owned by the exhibitor. Be sure to transfer any open animals to the needed exhibitor prior to the ownership deadline.

As a reminder, please let us know if you will not attending a show you have entered. Everyone knows barn space is limited and can get cramped, we appreciate you helping to ensure a good experience for all.

We look forward to seeing you at upcoming events! Should you need anything as you prepare, we are happy to assist you with your needs.

Why We Are Raising Fees

Most of you have likely been made aware of the fee changes brought about by the most recent board meeting, held in September. In all honesty, I struggled at first when sitting down to write this article. I was stuck on the idea of ‘how am I supposed to write a piece that is all about price increases without people wanting to skip right past it or rip it up’. But then I tried to put my ‘realist’ hat on, and if you think about it, we are all in the same boat here – our economy has taken a hit, that is no secret. It is the driving force behind these changes, and all of us have been affected by today’s economy, some more than others.

We joked together with the board about even the price of a Happy Meal these days, and as a mom of a toddler, I can attest that there is little to be happy about once the bill comes (except a stolen French fry here and there). Also being a realist, there really isn’t a whole lot of content to include when trying to say, “We have to raise our prices”. I don’t want to waste your time trying to go over every single line item with a fluffy reason for why it went up a few dollars – that is pointless. What I hope I can bring with this article, is some understanding of why these changes were a unanimously agreed upon necessity, between both your Board of Directors as well as staff. I will let you in on a little secret too; the staff is usually the first group of people to resist fee raises/registry changes etc., and we have fought tooth-and-nail to avoid certain situations in the past. But the reality again, is our economy.

Montie touched on this in his video which highlights the membership fee increase as well as the WHR fee increases implemented November 1. Another factor to point out, and one that we are proud of as an Association – we are an extremely small staff! There are only 4 of us in the office, and we share as many responsibilities as we can so that we can keep our staff numbers to a minimum. This also means that we each wear multiple hats on a daily basis. Because of this, one fee addition that I am happy to go into detail about, is a $5 per head manual processing fee. There are many other breeds that already have a fee such as this one in place, so we struggled with what to call it, electronic vs physical copy fees, office fees, etc. But basically, what it is, is a fee for paper versions of registrations, transfers, and assessments sent in to be processed by the office. We realize this will ruffle some feathers; we are prepared for that. We are aware of the perception that we, as an office, ‘are just trying to get people to go online and do their own work so we don’t have to do it’. In all actuality, this isn’t entirely untrue. We are trying to encourage people to use our online registry – it’s an amazing tool! It has the capability of being an entire herd management program, much like the ones people pay extra for, if only more people would utilize it. But more than just that, it is quicker and much more efficient to do it all online. When breeders do their registrations/ transfers online versus sending them into the office to do, there is the benefit of

instant communication. If you are doing a registration online, and for example need an AI certificate on a bull in order to push the calf through, the system spells that error out for you. If we have a paper copy of the same registration sent into the office, we have to contact the breeder; sometimes we can’t get ahold of them, then there is phone tag, then there are angry buyers etc. It can be quite cumbersome, really.

The staff is still here, happy to help walk you through as much as we can. The Board was very cautious in keeping fee raises to a minimum. The most frequently used items on the fee schedule were ensured to have a $5 or less increase. All changes (outside of the already changed membership fee and WHR assessment fees) to the fee schedule will be implemented come January 1, 2023.

So, without further ado, please turn the page for a full list of the new fees for the ASA; WHR Breeders and TOC Breeders. As always, please reach out to staff or any ASA Board of Directory with any questions you may have.

A Family Breed

Every breed association has its own slogan they use in terms of marketing. For example, the Angus Association uses ‘The Business Breed as their slogan’ and Charolais uses ‘More Pounds. More Profit.’

The American Shorthorn Association uses ‘Performance with Purpose’ as the main slogan, you can even find it in our logo, and we have recently added ‘America’s First’ to many of our promotions due to the 150th celebration. But there is another slogan that fits the ASA and American Junior Shorthorn Association. I truly believe that we are now being recognized as the familyfriendly breed to many in the industry, which is why we continue to grow in numbers yearly!

Throughout the year families of the Shorthorn breed showcase their calf crops in different types of sales. From live auctions to online sales and private treaties, our Shorthorn families pour their heart and time into trying to make an exhibitor’s year special. We know

the work it takes to get cattle ready and the importance of all family-oriented operations to the breed.

Sales are about more than just purchasing your next show calf, it is about growing relationships with breeders and improving your herd. Don’t forget to remember what is behind the scenes and be thankful for the families who help prove why we are the FamilyFriendly Breed.

More than just the sales making us a family-friendly breed is the National Junior Shorthorn Show. We strive to make the National Junior Shorthorn Show the best event for our junior members and it is made possible by our many donors and sponsors who give to the Shorthorn Youth Development Fund. If you are interested in giving back, contact any junior board member or shelby@shorthorn.org.

Performance Award Winners for 2021

Recognized at the American Shorthorn Association’s Awards Banquet on November 19, 2022

On the following pages, you will find a list of the Shorthorn breed’s honor roll of performance champions, also known as the Pacer Performance Awards for 2021. Congratulations to all breeders and their animals who qualify for these designations. It’s not an easy task for a sire or dam to qualify for these awards! To understand the standards these animals must meet to qualify for these various categories, check out the last page of these award winners.

The cows listed are all that are newly

qualified for the Performance Award categories based off their 2021 calves. The youngest cows to qualify for this set of awards are the 2017 born females that qualified on their first three calves in 2019, 2020 and 2021. We treat the Performance Awards recognition like a “hall of fame” induction: once you get recognized, you’re in for life! A cow could certainly meet the qualifications for Performance or Pacesetter Dam multiple times in her life (and many do!), but the cow is only honored with the recognition the first

2021 Owner Rankings for Pace Performance Sire & Dams

time she qualifies. If you have a cow that you feel qualifies for the 2021 awards and do not find her on the list, it’s likely because she was a past qualifier who has already been recognized. In Digital Beef, each qualifying animal has an “Awards” tab you can click to see when and what recognition your animal has received. A cow can be recognized as a Performance Dam and then later in life be recognized as a Pacesetter Dam as well. =

Intent to Run

Members Announce Intent to Run for ASA Board of Directors

Rick Osterday - Fellow Shorthorn Breeders: I am Rick Osterday, 4th generation to run Shorthorn cattle on the rolling prairie near Java, South Dakota. My wife Sandy and I own Stangl Shorthorns and are blessed to have our 2 sons and their wives involved in our farming and ranching operation.

I have always believed in membership stepping up and being involved in their organization and have done so as a past director of South Dakota Shorthorn Ass’n, South Dakota Cattlemen’s Ass’n, South Dakota Beef Breeds Council, our church and local fire district. I’ve also served for 27 years as a director of our local agricultural cooperative with 18 of those as board president.

I would be honored to be elected to the ASA board and will do my best to serve its members while making sure the great Shorthorn breed is relevant for the next 150 years.

Lee Miller - For the past three years, I have been honored to serve as a member of your ASA Board of Directors. It has been a great opportunity to build meaningful relationships with a passionate and diverse group of breeders that serve the members of this association.

I am located in Millersburg, OH where my family and I operate Paint Valley Farms, a purebred Shorthorn operation with an emphasis on functional production traits. At Paint Valley Farms we host the Maternal Event sale each December along with the Byers and Beckler families. We

also host a bull sale each spring where we offer Shorthorn bulls to seed stock and commercial cattlemen. With the progress this breed has made, we have seen an increase in demand for Shorthorn genetics from all sectors of the cattle industry.

I also am involved in a multi-generational manufacturing business, where we manufacture and distribute replacement parts for heavy equipment in a North American market. For the past two years, global supply chain challenges have greatly impacted normal business patterns for many companies in our industry. While this has created hardship and turbulence for many, it has also created opportunity for others. One of those opportunities has been for domestic manufacturing, which is already on the rise in parts of the United States. Companies who were prepared to capitalize on opportunities during uncertainty have grown and flourished.

I believe that the Shorthorn breed is positioned to capitalize on the opportunities available in the modern cattle industry. As challenges arise in America’s cow herd, we are uniquely positioned to help solve some of these challenges. We have opportunity due to our breed’s maternal and carcass (marbling) strengths that can add profit for progressive cattlemen and women. Investments made in forward-thinking programs today impact the success of our future generations of Shorthorn breeders. There is no time like now to take action and move this breed forward!

I would welcome the opportunity to serve another three year term as a director of ASA.

John Russell - Born and raised in Baytown, Texas where I first started showing livestock through 4H then FFA at Robert E. Lee High School. Started with a hog, chickens and then

found my first Shorthorn heifer, thanks to my Grandma, when I was 12 years old. When I entered her in my county livestock show I was told she was not a registered breed of cattle. That was my first “fight” in the livestock business because I researched and wrote a dissertation of the Shorthorn breed and how they influenced many of the breeds found in the US today, giving specific references. My heifer was accepted in the show!

After high school, I attended Texas A&M University graduating with a Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine in 1975. Starting my veterinary practice, a family and relocating to Cypress, Texas consumed all of my time, so my cattle business was put on the back burner for a while. Then, when my daughter showed a Shorthorn steer in the Tomball High School progress show, my interest and love of the Shorthorn breed was born again and has continued to grow!

I started buying my first few Shorthorns in 1998, however, after my marriage to Barbara in 2001, our herd grew exponentially because of her love of the red, white and roan heifers. We became involved with WHR Shorthorns and our current donor cows are a result that relationship.

I have served on the Texas Shorthorn Association BOD, as vice president and president and currently as VP again.

I was elected for my first term to the ASA BOD in 2019 and now running for my second term.

I recently sold my veterinary practice and retired in 2021, although retirement was not really in my vocabulary and so my Shorthorn cows have now become my current job!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the membership for allowing me to be involved this extensively in the Shorthorn breed. It has really been one of the most enjoyable things I have been involved in and I attribute that to the cohesive group of men and women that have made up the board in my tenure.

What Ever Became of ASA’s 1976 International Shorthorn Lassie Queen? Hey, That’s Me!

By Beth Duffy, PhD

As this special 150th Anniversary Year draws to a close, it seems a Shorthorn Lassie story might be appropriate, and from a rather unique perspective. Hello to the American Shorthorn Association breeders who knew me, who tipped your hats in the show ring to accept ribbons from me, who applauded my speeches and read my stories, who visited my exhibit booths and supported my bake sales, who escorted and chaperoned me, and who honored me as your 1976 International Shorthorn Lassie Queen. Herein I offer a few words about my time as Queen and how it led to future remarkable life experiences.

Becoming International Queen

After secret ballot voting by Iowa Shorthorn Breeders, Lassies, and Junior association members, I was crowned Iowa Queen in 1975 at the Iowa State Fair. It was a grand ceremony with all the contestants, escorts, and bouquets of roses. Iowa led the nation in numbers of registered Shorthorns and Shorthorn breeders.

As part of the contest requirements, I kept records of my Shorthorn activity. ASA’s Sherman Berg congratulated me as they expanded to two bound volumes documenting my year as Lassie Princess and year as Alternate Queen presenting speeches and awards across Iowa; as Junior Association Director organizing my own Shorthorn Field Days; and as breeder and exhibitor of Shorthorn cattle. Each November, I showed my Shorthorn steers at the famous Chicago International Livestock Exposition. And through the year, I showed bulls and females for my family’s Newport Valley Shorthorns and for K&K, Lazy D, and other

prominent Shorthorn herds, at Iowa and national shows and sales. I also won livestock judging contests. My father, Charles Duffy, was a Certified Iowa State University Cattle Judge and taught me his talents. And I was a University of Iowa Dean’s List Sophomore.

My family owned one of the nation’s largest registered Shorthorn herds, bred annually by Polled Congress champions. As Newport Valley Shorthorns, we’ve been an ASA member since 1958. As Iowa Queen I knew the names and faces of national Shorthorn breeders and the names and pedigrees of their herd sires.

My credentials also included participation in numerous Shorthorn associations. I owned my first registered Shorthorn heifer at age nine, a beautiful white horned heifer named Meriway W Blythesome 7th; and with my family, was an active member of: American Shorthorn Association, National Polled Society, and Chicago International Club Calf Group; Iowa Shorthorn Breeders, Hawkeye Downs, Central States, East Central Iowa, Cedar County, Marshall County, and Johnson County Shorthorn Associations; National, Iowa, and East Iowa Shorthorn Lassies Associations; and American, Iowa, and East Iowa Junior Shorthorn Associations. My father and I also conducted Beef Project Meetings and Grooming Demonstrations for Iowa’s 4-H Youth Program. And one of the most memorable activities was hosting an inner city teacher and her students at the Chicago International as they visited and learned about our Shorthorn cattle. I also wrote articles for Shorthorn World, Shorthorn International, Shorthorn Country, and Lassie Newsletter and appeared

on so many radio and television programs.

The Iowa Shorthorn families appreciated my many efforts and I enjoyed promoting them as Queen. I owned a lovely wardrobe of Royal Stuart tartan clothing including a fabulous coat created by my mother, Joyce, who persuaded the Amana Woolen Mills to spin and weave the perfect weight Royal Stuart fabric.

At the Iowa State Fair, the beautiful Lassie Queen costume became mine for the year. I was proud to wear the cute and stylish traditional outfit of short pleated plaid kilt skirt and white frilled blouse, black velvet jacket, garter rosettes, plaid shawl sash and other trims, with my own white gloves, kneehigh black boots, and my lovely sparkling Iowa Crown. A classic Scottish Tam was also provided. After my Iowa crowning came state sales and the Kansas City American Royal.

The National Queen Contest was held at the new North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Kentucky. American Shorthorn Association President Jack Ragsdale was instrumental in creating the NAILE and he directed the best experiences in Louisville for the ASA: excellent accommodations at the new Executive Inn bordering the Expo’s entrance, an impressive National Shorthorn Show, and the remarkable dinner and dance Banquet night.

The new West Coast Lassie president directed the Queen activities. Events included a Lassie-sponsored horse race at Churchill Downs, at which I presented the Silver Cup to winning horse and jockey. But the biggest betting arena this Louisville week was the Lassie Queen contest. A Southern breeder had told me a month earlier that bets were being placed and I was the one to beat.

Louisville greeted Queens representing most of the USA; with some girls promoting multi-state areas, such as Big Sky Country, Gulf South, and East. Some girls’ credentials were vast; and others paled in comparison. But there was also the Who’s Who of daughters

of the nation’s most famous Shorthorn families. Under the leadership of National Membership Chairwoman Mrs. Glen Miller, there were 1,000 Lassie members in 1975 and breeders all supported them. There had never been a year or a Lassie contest like this.

The special night for the crowning of the new National Queen was part of a grand ballroom affair, with hundreds of Shorthorn breeders in attendance. Men were handsome in suits and ladies were brilliant in floor length evening gowns with fine jewelry and fur stoles. There were speakers, Builder of the Breed Awards, a sterling and crystal banquet buffet with ice sculptures and chefs carving roasts, and a dance into the late hours.

Following the silver-spoon buffet, before the dance, we State Queens lined up for the Ceremony on the dance floor. A Lassie officer in sky blue floral silk positioned me front and center. I was humble but hopeful, for earlier in the day, the Judges had kept me back an extra hour after the other girls were dismissed, to discuss future publicity. Still, anything can happen in a contest, and it did.

Although the distinguished announcement was made that ASA President Jack Ragsdale would now proudly embrace the Annual Honor and Tradition of Crowning the New National Shorthorn Lassie Queen, the Lassie president surprised and shocked everyone by jumping up to say she would proudly crown the girl she had brought to the contest from her home state. The new Queen accepted the crown then she and about half the girls immediately left the room, followed by the rest after the Lassie president ordered them to leave. But my father was at my side and said, “No. My daughter will stay.”

Breeders and officers circled the Lassie president, demanding answers. There on the dance floor, she simply and publicly proclaimed, “There never was a question of who would be crowned Queen. I just didn’t know who I should choose as Alternate.” Then she left.

Now the band began playing and my parents told me To Dance, to brighten up the evening with music and friendship. For along with all my agricultural efforts, I was also a Ballerina. For 12 years I wore cowboy boots in the show ring and ballet slippers and toe shoes on stage. As the only Lassie Queen remaining at the Ball, I enjoyed dancing every song with a different Shorthorn breeder from somewhere in the USA. I was especially honored that my first dance partner was ASA President Jack Ragsdale. Through the next year, breeders referred to me as “The Dancing Lassie Queen.”

After Louisville, the national Lassie officers rewrote their Constitution and soon replaced the fascinating and cute Scottish kilt we Queens loved to wear, with a masculine long black suit jacket and massive ankle-length maxi skirt.

Although Lassie history does not recognize or record me as National Queen or Alternate, after Louisville I was asked to promote national Shorthorn breeders. Doris (Mrs. Paul) Setterdahl of Illinois, a wonderful and charismatic national Shorthorn Lassie officer, volunteered as my Chaperone.

And so in January, wearing my Iowa Crown and costume, I presented awards at Denver’s National Western followed by Winter sales, Springtime shows, and Summer fairs; hosted ASA exhibit booths; and presented speeches

at banquets. I was always seated at the head table with Jack Ragsdale to my right and Ted Aegerter to my left, who regularly swapped his green beans for my twice-baked potato. In Iowa I sat with President Kendrick Berg and my father, Vice-President Charles Duffy; and with others at so many association events.

The highlight of 1976 came when I was invited to be guest of the Canada and Alberta Shorthorn Associations for two weeks at the famous Calgary Stampede. I flew to Canada for an amazing adventure. And wearing my lovely Scottish kilt costume and Iowa Crown, I was introduced in Calgary as “Canada’s Tribute to the American Bicentennial” before speaking to the audience of 22,000 at the Olympic Stadium. I presented awards, radio interviews, and speeches; and was richly and royally treated, including with celebrity body guard protection.

I was honored by Alberta’s and Canada’s Shorthorn associations and by their country’s national agricultural and political officials. Following Canada came speeches and presentations about this experience; and then my speech at the State Field Day hosted by my parents.

Then came the Iowa State Fair where I was introduced before the 14,000 Grandstand spectators, riding atop the majestic Clydesdale Wagon. But although Iowa Shorthorn breeders asked me to remain their Queen “For Life,” the time came for me to retire at age 19. The Iowa Shorthorn families honored me at the center of the historic Pavilion show ring and I spoke to the crowd one last time. I was then given an incredible walnut and gold trophy and long stem roses as planned by Iowa Lassie matron, Marvella (Mrs. Will) Korthaus.

As Lassie I gave hundreds of speeches promoting the breed and appeared on radio, television, and in innumerable publications. I was photographed with or without cattle, thousands of times and wrote countless articles and autographs. I traveled nearly 30,000 miles promoting Shorthorns, visiting hundreds of fairs and other events, and enjoyed waving to crowds in dozens of parades. Shorthorn breeders treated me to the finest meals, ranging from field day picnics, to truck stop scrambled eggs, to an exquisite evening at Mrs. George Garvin Brown’s Sutherland estate. And some of my quietest memories came seated atop a show box, shoulder-to-shoulder talking cattle with an unforgettable friend. I can still sense the weight of the costume, the feel of the crown, the smells of the show arena, the beauty of the awards I presented, and the friendly faces of humans and cattle who greeted me.

After the Iowa State Fair I surrendered my much-loved Scottish costume and had no more Queen duties, though I did serve the national ASA one last time, as Showmanship Judge for the National Junior Heifer Show, sharing duties with Minnesota Shorthorn Breeder Steve Torgerson.

That Fall, I returned to Louisville and sat quietly in the stands watching the Shorthorn show. How amazing it was when an exhibitor

noticed me and led his heifer out of line to walk to the edge of the arena, where he lifted his hat and saluted me.

Although I continued to raise Shorthorn cattle, a future away from shows and sales was set to begin as I approached college graduation. Through my Shorthorn experiences, I had became wellknown as a confident national and international spokesperson, organizer, director, and educator. This led to a rather amazing international life.

The Future

I became a Licensed Multidisciplinary Master Educator and as teacher was asked to lead 99 4-H teens on a two-week Washington DC Citizenship Trip. At age 17 I had organized my own Field Day for 101 head of Shorthorns and their teenage exhibitors. I felt I could organize 99 4-H youth. Our Washington adventure was such a tremendous success that I created similar opportunities for my own students, with the Iowa Legislature, Governor, and Attorney General.

Then one day, I received a very special invitation to lead another group of students, but this time, for 42 days. We would begin with five days in Washington DC for orientation at George Washington University and briefings at the Pentagon by US Department of State then would spend the next month inside the Iron Curtain, in Communist Eastern Europe. I said “Yes” then told my astonished parents.

My new title was Professor of International Field Study and my college freshmen students received academic credit to Harvard, MIT, Wharton, Notre Dame, and elsewhere for their time with me abroad, as we conducted social and political field study through East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine, beginning with overseas orientation in Austria.

My Eastern European course was successful, and upon returning home, I was asked to teach a new group the following year travelling from Moscow to London. My students completed a strict year of pre-travel classes and special study interest research. Our Pentagon sessions increased in concern as the State Department was joined by the Organization of American States to warn us of dangers, for the Cold War was escalating in the Soviet Union. For this and most groups, I taught and led 30 students, with one assistant.

Five more requests followed in five more years as I led and taught college freshmen from University of Michigan, Brigham Young, and elsewhere, through Europe and the former Soviet Union. Our days were filled with research and meetings and educational opportunities and significant adventure. I was honored with BMW’s Award fur Interkulturelles Lernen, Soviet Initiative for Understanding’s Excellence in International Education, and praise for leading 32 students to safety from the 7th floor as our Romanian hotel burned at Midnight.

Then one day I was asked to become the first American teacher to lead a group of students ages 12-14 to Russia for one month.

Princess Anne

as Patroness of the Shorthorn breed of cattle.

In all respects, no one had ever attempted such activity. The US Department of State admitted concern of not knowing if or how such young travelers might react being away from parents for so long and on the other side of the world. This was a very special project to develop goodwill between Russian and American youth. I adopted 32 students and two assistants and enjoyed a wonderful adventure. The following year I said “Yes” to leading another young group, through Great Britain and Ireland.

Upon returning home I was asked to organize a new ecology education program, to lead Iowa students to New Zealand and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. More than 600 students ages 1121 plus parents filled my presentation hall and at the evening’s conclusion, 280 students plus 13 parents requested interviews for 30 travel spots. Because 82 students provided successful applications and interviews, I expanded the program to two large groups, an older and a younger, chose a teacher to lead one group, and after eight months of pre-travel classes, I led the groups to Auckland.

Beth Duffy in the Amazon Rainforest, Brazil, during the United Nations Earth Summit, 1992. Dr. Duffy researched her doctoral dissertation at the event and conducted publicity for the North American Coalition of Religion and Ecology at the Earth Summit’s Global Forum. She also assisted with the NACRE Olivia Newton John and John Denver Concert. Beth first met Olivia while showing Shorthorns at the Chicago International Livestock Exposition in the early 1970s. The young Australian singer had just arrived in America and performed in the show arena following the steer show.

After my Summer in Brazil, I felt no need to ever again travel. Nothing could surpass the South American experience and I had been to 32 countries on five continents, plus across the USA. So one day I said “Yes” to teaching as Professor of Graduate Intercultural and Political Communication at University of Dubuque. Many of my new students were older than myself, including attorneys, teachers, government agents, and college administrators.

But I did again travel. Two years later I accepted a Yale University invitation to be part of their special 300th Anniversary Post-Doctorate program in Social and Political Policy. So very uniquely, I am a University of Iowa PhD with Kalinan Tver, Russia, graduate courses and Yale Post-Doc. And the trip to Connecticut raised my American visits to 44 States.

like My Home. Parallel Lives

Few people have known or understood my parallel lives, the girl who sat on a show box one minute and at the United Nations the next. Who fed show steers and wild kookaburras. Who wrote stories about Shorthorns and policy with the President of US Steel. Who flew with a Shorthorn Association President in his private plane above Canadian cattle herds and with a Governor in his private plane above American irrigation fields. Who served as International Shorthorn Queen Spokesperson and who created the Anthropogenic Anthropopathous Planthropomorphism Brand Mascot Trademark Design Concept. Who judged Shorthorn Showmanship and Asian publications, British Parliamentarian Speeches, and Byelorussian Talent contests. Who never stopped raising Shorthorns while becoming a Yale-Post-Doc Professor.

My parallel lives intersect at one constant in my life, the deep roots of my Iowa farm and the gentle quiet Shorthorn cattle who graze our pastures. No matter where I’ve gone, I’ve come home to tend to the animals I have raised all my life. My brother Chuck and I continue our Newport Valley Shorthorns. Our herd is smaller now, and we no longer exhibit at fairs, though others win showing our calves. Our cattle still enjoy peaceful long lives; and through private sales we continue to see new Shorthorn herds created each year with our bulls and females as foundation breeding stock.

Those were my last groups traveling internationally teaching and leading students and personally carrying their passports and millions of dollars of vouchers, tickets, and multiple cash currencies. When I stopped being available, the US State Department ended the program.

I was now earning my PhD and had researched my doctoral comprehensive orals in Russia and Ukraine. But where to conduct research for what would become my 1,000 page doctoral dissertation? I would consider only one place: the United Nations Earth Summit in Brazil, 1992. Government officials were concerned for my safety, for Heads of State from 180 countries, including Amazon Rainforest Chiefs, were attending the meetings and Rio de Janeiro was equipped as a militarized zone. My accommodations proved to be spectacular: not a Rio De Janeiro sequined hotel, but an

A year later I was surprised by the offer of a Beijing Embassy Fulbright, for as with the other positions, I had never applied to be considered. I said “Yes” to the Embassy then walked outside to continue weaning calves and inform my parents I would leave again, this time for two years in China. Unfortunately, because of political unrest, Beijing was later cancelled, as was research in Egypt, Greece, and Albania, when Mideast war ships entered the Mediterranean.

Then one night around 3 a.m. the Fax began chirping, offering me a professorship in New Zealand; followed the next night by a professorship in South Africa. Then came the American University in Paris and a research project in Lome, Togo, Africa. Plus an offer from Sweden and an unlimited visit to India’s New Delhi. I was being recruited worldwide. To these offers, I said, No, Thank You. These were permanent positions. They wanted me to live happily ever after in the places they call Home. But those places would never feel

Thank you to the Iowa breeders, Lassies, and Juniors who named me your Iowa Shorthorn Lassie Queen in 1975 and to everyone who treated me as your National and International Queen in 1976. I’ve made the most of this unforgettable experience.

New DNA Card Fees

Our approved lab for DNA, Neogen, has increased the cost of blood and hair cards to the ASA and as a result, it is necessary to start charging for them to cover this increase, plus the postage it takes to send them. Blood cards are now $1/card and hair cards are $2/card. Methods for obtaining them have not changed. Please call the office or fill out the card request on shorthorn.org to order. The lab’s preferred methods are TSU samples and blood cards. TSU kits can be purchased directly through Neogen or Allflex.

*Remember, there is an additional fee for testing hair and semen. **DO NOT test twins via blood samples.

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.

Don’t miss out on utilizing the new DNA feature within Digital Beef, which allows you to easily select your animals for testing, and all their data is auto-filled in. From there, you just pick which tests you want done, print the form, and send it in with your samples. No more messy or crowded hand-writing necessary! For video and PDF walk-through of how to do this, go to https://shorthorn.org/dna-testing/

Christopher Hoover Smith, 55, of rural Chapin, IL, died Friday, September 23, 2022, at his residence. He was born October 8, 1966, in Jacksonville, IL, the son of Robert and Janice Hoover Smith.

Chris is survived by his parents of Chapin, IL, his sister, Amy (William) Welch of Arenzville, IL, his brother, Todd (Sabrina) Smith of Bloomington, IL; nieces Sarah (Perry) Hampton, Katherine (John) Brockhouse, Elizabeth (Nash) Johnson and nephews Duncan (Kate) Smith and Spencer (Tori) Smith, as well as several great-nieces and great-nephews.

sons Matthew and Alec Coil, both of Beardstown, IL. He enjoyed spending time with Matthew’s son Cameron.

Chris was a 1984 graduate of Triopia High School and attended Lakeland College in Mattoon where he earned an associates degree in Agriculture. He was a farmer and avid cattleman. His passion and interest in cattle began at an early age in 4-H and was fueled through work experiences with Alden Farms, Cagwin Cattle Services, and the American Shorthorn Association. He worked with Willoughby Livestock Sales making friends and connections across the country. Chris was active in the Illinois Farm Bureau, Soil & Water Conservation, the Morgan County

Fair board, the American Shorthorn Association, and other agriculturerelated groups. He had a passion for mentoring youth as they learned the art of grooming cattle and developed their showman skills. He enjoyed seeing them succeed, as well as watching how the cattle he raised performed at shows and sales.

Memorials are suggested to the Chris Smith Memorial Fund. Specific memorials recognizing and supporting his passions with youth, cattle, and agriculture will be funded at a later date.
