Send DNA Directly to Neogen
Breeders can now send and are encouraged to send DNA samples directly to Neogen for testing rather than sending to the ASA office. Starting July 1, 2023, a manual processing fee will be incurred for those samples sent to the ASA 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, 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 you to print, sign 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.

The Pace of Progress: A Shorthorn Perspective Association Outlook
It feels like summer flew by, and now fall is upon us. For many breeders, that means sale season is shifting into high gear. As I look back on the past few months, one thing is certain—2025 has already been a year full of change, challenges, and opportunity.
We’ve seen some extreme weather in parts of the country. Certain areas experienced historic rainfall and even flooding, yet many breeders are reporting bumper hay crops for the first time in years—which is a welcome change. That abundant forage will go a long way in helping cattlemen sustain their herds through winter.
On the market side, cattle prices continue to reach record highs. Cow numbers remain low, and we’re not seeing any significant rebuilding of the national herd. The value of females as market animals is simply too high to justify holding them back for replacements in many cases. Feedlot inventories are also light, which sets the stage for continued strength across all classes of cattle.
Weaned calves bringing $2,000 or more has become a reality in many markets. Feeder cattle are topping even that. Cull cows and bulls are commanding prices few would have believed possible a few years ago. In some cases, breeders are selling an old herd bull for as much— or more—than they paid for him as a young sire. That’s incredible return on investment.
How long can this cycle continue? From my perspective, the future looks strong. With no major push to rebuild cow numbers and continued pressure to market quality females as beef animals, we’re likely to see this bullish trend persist. The only potential disruptor is the growing influence of the beef-ondairy sector, where dairy producers are breeding cows to beef bulls using sexed male semen. These beef-dairy cross calves are becoming a larger part of the
fed cattle supply and are helping meet the packers’ demand for heavier harvest weights—1600 to even 1700 pounds in some cases. Not only do they hit the weight targets, but they’re also grading Prime at an impressive rate.
This shift in market dynamics—toward heavier, higher-grading carcasses—has been driven by the consumer. People are still eating beef, but they want top quality, and they’re willing to pay for it. Today, the bar isn’t just Choice—it’s Prime. If you’re going to spend money on beef, you want the best.
That same logic applies to our purebred operations. If we’re going to invest in feeding, breeding, and developing cattle, we should aim to produce the best animals possible. In the purebred sector, especially with Shorthorns, the strength is at the top. It always has been. For more than a century, the highest premiums have consistently gone to the very best genetics—and that’s still true today.
The fall sale season will prove this once again. Buyers are becoming increasingly discerning and actively seeking high-end cattle backed by data and documentation. As producers, it’s our job to raise better animals each year and to offer them with the kind of records and support that create long-term value.
The talk in the cattle industry over the past decade has centered around improving quality and focusing on the top tier. That vision has come to fruition. The demand for elite cattle is real, and the money is there to support it. Just look at this summer’s Junior National in Grand Island. If you weren’t there, you missed what may have been the greatest assembly of Shorthorn quality we’ve seen in one place. It was a shining example of what focused, passionate breeders can do when striving to be their best.
The same goes for commercial bull producers. Breeders are developing better bulls with the documentation
and performance to meet industry expectations. In today’s cattle world, being “good enough” is no longer enough. You must breed the best to achieve the best—whether you’re in the purebred or commercial sector. It’s all connected.
We’re seeing Shorthorn breeders embrace that challenge like never before. They’re stepping up, improving their herds, and building the breed’s future. I want to congratulate the entire Shorthorn family for your passion, commitment, and progress. But remember—now is not the time to be satisfied. Keep pushing forward, keep striving to improve, and together we’ll continue shaping a bright future for Shorthorns.

Building on a Valuable Resource: Shorthorn EPDs by the Numbers
Modern Genetic Evaluations have transformed genetic selection, enabling Shorthorn Breeders to make informed breeding decisions for rapid genetic progress. In this age of genomic selection and data-driven improvement, it is easy—almost tempting—to overlook the enduring value of phenotypes. Yet, phenotypes remain the bedrock upon which Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are built upon.
Our Genetic Evaluation System is like a Three-Legged Stool. it uses Pedigree, Phenotype and Genotype to produce a balanced and useful selection tool. It can be argued that accurate phenotypes; the weights and measures used in our genetic evaluation are more important than ever.
With Genomics why are phenotypes important?
Without reliable observations, even the most sophisticated statistical models cannot tease out true genetic differences among animals.
• Establishing Baselines: Phenotypic data establishes the “ground truth” against which genetic predictions are calibrated. If we do not know what high-
performing or low-performing looks like in a real herd, how can we judge the value of particular genes or markers?
• Training Genomic Predictions: The power of genomics in beef cattle evaluation depends fundamentally on reference populations—large groups of animals with both genotypic and phenotypic information. It is the correlation between genetic markers and observed traits that allows breeders to make predictions about untested animals. Without high-quality phenotypes, genomic selection loses its edge.
• Validating Progress: Improvement in the herd is measured by tracking phenotypes over time. If the average weaning weight is rising, or reproductive efficiency is improving, it is because phenotypes are telling that story. Genotypes may predict potential, but phenotypes report results.
The Shorthorn Evaluation by the Numbers
In a recent meeting with International Genetic Solutions (IGS), our genetic evaluation provider, we were given the
latest statistics about the Shorthorn evaluation. As of June 30, our evaluation contains 989,544 pedigrees, 449,310 Calving Ease Scores, 417,126 Birth Weights, 198,067 Weaning Weights, 67,138 Yearling Weights, 12,257 Ultrasound Records, 25,106 Docility Records, 47,949 Stayability Records, 6,692 Carcass Records, and 12,898 Genomic Records.
These are impressive numbers that speak to the importance that Shorthorn Breeders have placed on gathering these records in our database!
Growing the Shorthorn Database
The good news continues, as a breed in the past year we experienced roughly a 3% increase in weight trait records, over a 7% increase in Ultrasound Records and an astounding 22% increase in Genotypes. Congratulations to Shorthorn Breeders for continuing to build on this valuable database to fuel growth in the Shorthorn Breed. I applaud our breeders’ commitment to continue to provide the beef cattle industry “Performance With Purpose”.

Wheels up for all things Shows!
If you find yourself preparing for an upcoming trip, you just might find yourself with a checklist of things to do before your departure. It may be of great length and include purchasing plane tickets or renewing a passport; it may consist of packing some clothes and filling up the uel tank; it may be as simple as grabbing the bag mom packed and taking out the trash. Each of us have different steps when it comes to preparing for a trip, but if your upcoming trip includes a Shorthorn Show, there are a few things to keep in mind!
Our first national show of the show season are both in October: the Keystone International Livestock Exposition (KILE) and the American Royal.
The regular entry period has ended for KILE, though late entries remain open through September 9 and “Final Late Entries” will be accepted through September 18. Wade and I will both be in attendance and look forward to seeing our exhibitors and breeders.
Rounding out the October shows, the American Royal entries remain open
through September 10, late entries will close September 15. The annual meeting and awards luncheon will be held in conjunction with the American Royal once again this year on Saturday, October 26. During the awards luncheon, we will recognize award winners, including the 2023-2024 Show Season Winners. Find information on attending on page 34.
American Royal Stalling: Please send stalling requests for the American Royal to cassie@shrthorn.org prior to September 15. For this show, breed staff coordinate all requests so that we can stall all entries. Knowing these requests in a timely manner allows us the best opportunity to serve you. Please note, activities hosted by other breeds during the American Royal, such as the World Hereford Conference, have the Royal anticipating an increase in cattle entries. For example, we have typically stalled 5 ft per head in recent years, whereas many shows are 3 ft per head. With an increase in entries, we may not have the extra space per head we have got in the past. It is recommended to enter extra cattle for

extra space to ensure you have the space you need in your stall.
As we dive into fall, remember these keys to success for the show season:
• Register and transfer cattle prior to entry deadline. For various reasons, registrations may take you time. Starting this process early allows you the time needed to have your ‘ducks in a row’.
• If you plan to participate in the E.D.G.E. Show at Cattlemen’s Congress or National Western, those animals must have:
o Birthweight and weaning weight recorded in DigitalBeef.
o 100K Genomic testing sample submitted and received at the lab by November 1.
Preparing your checklist for a show is meant to prepare you for success while at the show! Keep this in mind and as always, if you have any questions regarding upcoming shows, reach out to Wade or Cassie!

In the Know
Voting Delegate Information
How are we already planning for fall events already? We are excited to celebrate another annual meeting, which will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2025. There will be a social held at the ASA Office the evening of Friday, October 24, 2025, to kick off the celebration and we invite all who can attend to join us. The annual meeting will be held in conjunction with the American Royal again this year.
Many of you have received your ballot for the election of Delegates this year by email, as we will try in the utilize emailing more documents as we move forward in a more environmentally friendly decision. This decision was also made as we have seen an increase in members not receiving physical mail from our office. This helps us get those important documents out faster, and for us to receive them back in our office
sooner. Those ballots were due back to the office September 2,2025.
Once the delegate ballots are collected and tallied, a letter and email will be sent out to those individuals elected to represent their state at the annual meeting. Please be watching your email and mailbox for that information. We will also be posting a list of those Elected Delegates in the October issue of the Shorthorn Country.

ALL THINGS North American International Livestock Exposition
Check, double check, triple check all things North American! NAILE is going to look and feel a little different this year. With upgrades there is always going to be change. The Kentucky Exposition Center is currently under construction as they build a new wing to increase and improve their facilities. We will do our best to inform our exhibitors to help them stay aware of all things needed to guarantee they have an enjoyable NAILE. When entering, make sure you have a good email as this how we will connect and inform our exhibitors. Please pay attention to the schedule, as it has changed from previous years. Below is some helpful information as we prepare for Shorthorns in the Ville.
• CHECK YOUR TATTOOS! Junior Cattle must be tattooed verified before you can check in. There is information on this procedure in the attached document. Make sure you check those tattoos before you come.
•JUNIOR CATTLE OWNERSHIP DATE IS 10/14/2025. Double check your registration papers to make sure any junior cattle have an ownership date of October 14th or before. If you need this corrected on your registration paper, please contact the ASA office as soon as possible to get fixed.
• JUNIOR CATTLE MUST BE IN A SINGLE JUNIORS NAME. No farm names. No multiple ownerships/ names on the paper. If you need this corrected, please contact the ASA office
immediately to get corrected.
*These Junior rules are strictly enforced by NAILE Staff. THE ASA wants to avoid any problems at check in by having everything correct on our end and your end*
• Tack Space: space for tack is not allocated when stalling; we advise exhibitors enter additional animals to allow for tack space. In previous years, NAILE reduces our stall space by 30%. Therefore, you will receive 30% less than what you entered. For example: If you enter 10 animals, you will receive 7 stall spaces. This is just an example, and we cannot confirm stalling until entries have closed.
• Registration Papers. Physical registration papers are not required but highly encouraged. The ASA accepts digital or physical registration papers. If you choose to have a digital registration paper, you must have that downloaded as a pdf; showing us your DigitalBeef screen is not the digital registration paper, you must select view certificate. We will tattoo verify stamp junior animals’ registration papers during the check in process; why physical copies are encouraged. Should you find yourself with a missing registration paper, please contact the ASA office to replace those papers.
• COW/CALF PAIRS - the calf at side must be registered. If you are bringing a cow/calf pair both animals registration papers must be presented at check in.

DNA Requirements Revisited
Before going over testing requirements, I’d like to share a couple of reminders regarding DNA testing.
• Animals must be registered or recorded with the ASA before DNA testing.
• We highly recommend obtaining your sampling method (blood/hair cards, TSU kits) before starting the submission process. This is because the barcode number from the card/TSU is required for submission.
• You can order blood or hair cards through our website. **New update – we only offer card orders of 10 cards or less for shipping cost/tracking purposes. All orders of 10+ cards should be placed through Neogen directly.
Requirements:
AI Sires and Donor Dams
100K TH PHA DS
Natural Service Sires
Any bulls born 1/1/2022 and after are required to be genomically tested before their progeny can be recorded.
100K
E.D.G.E. Show
100K
• Samples must be received by the lab no later than November 1st for Cattlemen Congress and National Western Stock Show E.D.G.E. animals.
• Samples must be received by the lab no later than May 1st for Junior National E.D.G.E. animals.
Homozygous
DS Carriers
Any animals whose parents are both tested and proven carriers of DS must be tested for DS themselves. If an animal tests as a homozygous DS carrier, it is still registerable.
https://shorthorn.org/membership/dna/
If you are registering a calf out of a parent who is missing one or more of the above requirements (E.D.G.E. show does not apply) and that parent is either gone/unable to be tested itself, you can test the pending calf in place of the parent. Please note however, we always recommend testing the parent if you can – if an AI sire is missing DS for example, every single resulting AI calf out of him would need to be DS tested.
We have been getting many calls regarding the natural service sire test. The error shows up in DigitalBeef as sire requires a genomic panel to register calves. This is totally separate from needing a natural breeding agreement. Should you have any questions regarding what you might need to test for, do not hesitate to reach out to our team.
In an attempt to serve our members better, we will now be offering DNA blood and hair cards at our ASA sanctioned shows. Save money, time, and shipping costs by ordering ahead from us to deliver at the shows we attend. You can contact Wade or Cassie prior to the shows, or at the shows, to obtain those cards. DNA Cards for purchase at shows!

Reconnecting in Rogers Beef Blurb
Earlier this summer, I attended the Agricultural Media Summit in Rogers, Arkansas. This is the largest gathering of ag media professionals in the country, and it is one of the highlights of the year for me as I attend for education, networking, and professional development.
This was my first year on the Livestock Publications Council board while at AMS, so I attended the LPC Board meeting to discuss business and connect with fellow board members.
Later that evening was the ‘famous welcome party’ at TopGolf where old and new friends gathered in the heat to reconnect before the educational portion of the event. The next morning, we kicked AMS during breakfast with ‘Sean of the South’ as he told stories with song and a fiddle.
After our keynote speaker, attendees chose the breakout sessions that interested them most. As an LPC board member, I ‘hosted’ the room I was in for the breakout session, announcing our speaker and sponsor. The session I attended was led by Katelynn Baer, a photographer from Illinois that used to work for Growmark. She spoke about phone camera settings and videography in a session about efficiency hacks to work smarter, not harder.
The next session was ‘Imagination Unleashed: Transform Visions into Powerful Realities’ led by Trey Laverty of the Slate Group. We worked with our creative juices during this session as we learned about taking an idea or vision into a promotion piece. It helped me think strategically on new ways to have ideas for ASA and the National Junior Shorthorn Show.
After the student luncheon and announcement of special scholarships, there were two sessions featuring Artificial Intelligence and how it fits into organizations and agriculture. Both
had multiple speakers sharing their experience with AI and how it continues to change.
For the last educational breakout of the day, I attended my favorite session. This session taught by Khara Plicanic and was all about the nuts and bolts of InDesign. While I may use InDesign often during my job, it taught me many new fun things to streamline design and help with new features!
That evening was the LPC ‘Monday Night Mingle.’ This allowed everyone to regroup and chat with friends and colleagues while also participating in several games.
On Tuesday morning, attendees broke off into their affiliated groups for business meetings. As a board member of LPC, I attended the LPC business meeting. We approved minutes from the last minute and heard about committee updates. They also presented the nominations for board members. After the meeting adjourned, we moved into the LPC awards, this includes
recognizing different award categories that are judged. Categories included PR campaigns, catalogs, photographs, websites, articles and more! As part of the awards committee, I announced all these awards while other committee members helped our award sponsor, Modern Litho, handout the awards. After the meeting I signed up for several committees again including awards committee, education and engagement.
This year the AMS Banquet was a luncheon, and all the special awards were announced while we enjoyed our last evening together. It is amazing to recognize special people at the banquet. I was asked to announce all the special awards again this year.
Each year I attend AMS, I enjoy seeing old friends and making new ones. It is a great networking event and I have grown in the last several years personally and professionally. I look forward to continuing my involvement with LPC and attending this event. Next year it will be in St. Louis, Missouri!

Why You Should Run for National Shorthorn Lassie Queen - Tradition, Fun, and Tons of Opportunity
Are you thinking about running for National Shorthorn Lassie Queen? It could be one of the best experiences you ever have. This isn’t just about pageants or winning a shiny crown—it’s about celebrating your love for Shorthorn cattle, meeting new people, and growing into a confident leader. As I look back on my experience with the Lassie Association, it truly has been a pillar of who I have become today. I was extremely nervous submitting my application to run at the age of 16 and went in with the mindset to learn through the process. To my shock, I was crowned National Queen and embarked on an amazing year! If you’re on the fence of running for Nationals, or even running at your state level, here’s why you should take the leap and give it a try!
The Shorthorn Lassie Queen program is packed with history and heart. By running, you get to be part of something bigger—sharing stories about the Shorthorn breed, showing up at exciting livestock events, and helping make sure the traditions carry on for future generations. You’ll be following in the footsteps of amazing women who’ve inspired others and made a real difference.
Whether you love talking to a crowd or get nervous just thinking about interviews, this competition helps you build confidence. You’ll practice public speaking, answer questions, and learn how to share your story. You’ll soon find yourself feeling at ease in front of an audience—and you’ll know how to express your ideas with heart.
As a Lassie Queen, you’re more than just a title—you’re a role model. You’ll get to organize events, work with all kinds of people, and help guide younger members. Plus, you’ll pick up leadership skills you’ll use in school, your future career, and life in general. This is a great way to show colleges and employers what you’re made of and a great conversation starter!
Running for Lassie Queen lets you meet people from all over. You’ll form friendships with other candidates, breeders, board members, and folks who are just as passionate about agriculture as you are. These connections last way beyond the show ring—sometimes for life! Many former Queens keep in touch and support each other years down the road. The bonds made while wearing the kilt are strong and enduring!
I think one of the best parts is getting to help out! Whether you’re creating blankets for homeless shelters, teaching kids about cows, or volunteering at fairs, you’ll find lots of ways to make a difference. Being a Lassie Queen lets you use your voice to help others and spread some positivity in your community.
Between balancing school, activities, and your Lassie Queen duties, you’ll become an expert at managing your time and setting goals. Plus, you’ll develop skills like teamwork and planning that set you up for success everywhere—from college applications to future jobs.
Winning or not, just running for Lassie Queen shows younger kids that it’s cool to be involved. You’ll have chances to mentor, share your journey,
and encourage others to get active with Shorthorns. Your excitement and hard work can spark something in the next generation. One of my fondest memories was seeing a young lady who was not old enough to show while I was Queen but always found me with a hug eventually become Alt. National Lassie Queen! If you’re thinking about it, go for it! Check out the rules, ask for advice from previous Queens, and start getting involved with Shorthorns in your area. Be yourself, speak up about what matters to you, and have fun with the process. This competition isn’t just about winning—it’s about learning, growing, and making memories. If you want to challenge yourself, make new friends, and celebrate the Shorthorn breed, don’t wait. Run for National Shorthorn Lassie Queen and see where the journey takes you! Keep in mind that the applications are due October 1st if you plan to run for 2026 National Lassie Queen. The contest will again take place in conjunction with Cattleman’s Congress and I am so excited to meet each one of you! The application can be found at https://shorthorn.org/ about/lassies/. Please reach out to me if you have any questions along the way. Be sure to watch our social media as well! We are working on a Zoom event to help prepare anyone preparing for Nationals or interested in running in the future!

Soaking up Summertime
Summer is coming to a close and Fall soon will be approaching. This Summer our American Junior Shorthorn Association board has been very busy, as we kicked it off with the National Junior Shorthorn Show & Youth Conference as we got “Groovy in Grand Island.” We wrapped up a great week in Grand Island being able to spend time with all the exhibitors, having a great week filled with contests, shows and friendship. We then kicked July off by planning for the 2026 NJSS. The board all met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for our first official meeting to make plans for the next year. The junior board was also there for the IGS Summit that happens every other year. This year we had a great time being able to talk to other
breeds and bring different ideas to the table. We had many different speakers and learned about a lot of the history of Pennsylvania. Personally, my favorite part of spending time in Philly was experiencing downtown and being able to tour the National Historic Park. The junior board took lots of pictures and made lots of memories. We are so excited to bring this new energy to the board and continue planning for the next junior nationals as well as the upcoming fall shows.
I am beyond excited to continue the tradition of Shorthorn Junior Nationals being family’s favorite week of the year. As a fellow Texan I am excited for my home state to host the 2026 Shorthorn Junior Nationals.

Around the Shorthorn Stalls
Deck the Stalls
little bit of Summer is what the whole year is about.” - John Mayer
Mackenlee Evans ajsa director
Last month, 14 Junior Shorthorn members from across the country traveled to Philadelphia to participate in the bi-annual IGS Summit Leadership Conference.
At the Summit, they were introduced to fellow junior members from the American Gelbvieh Junior Association, the American Junior Simmental Association, the American Junior Chianina Association, the Junior Red Angus Association, and the North American Limousin Junior Association.
Over the next three days, attendees were immersed in leadership lessons, engaging lectures, and hands-on activities designed to inspire and educate the next generation of agricultural leaders.
After checking in, the event kicked off with guest speaker Marlene Eick. She led the group through interactive icebreakers
Experiences and Education
by Kassidy Schumann, ASA Communications Intern
and delivered sessions focused on the power of confidence and credibility. Eick also guided attendees through a lesson in fine dining etiquette, helping them gain valuable professional and social skills.
Following dinner, the fun continued as attendees teamed up across breed associations to develop creative marketing plans for randomly assigned products. Each group crafted commercials and jingles, showcasing their teamwork and innovation.
Day two was equally dynamic. Tanner Beymer from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association presented a session on advocacy in the cattle industry. His talk sparked thoughtful discussion among the attendees about the importance of lobbying and standing up for agriculture.
Next, Jon DeClerk of the American Simmental Association explained
the mission of International Genetic Solutions (IGS) and its vital role in improving genetic data across breeds. He emphasized the growing value of collective data and encouraged more associations to join the IGS herd to strengthen the database. That afternoon, attendees explored historic downtown Philadelphia before enjoying an evening dinner cruise on the Delaware River, complete with dining and dancing.
The final day was packed with unique educational experiences. The group traveled across Pennsylvania, beginning with a visit to Wen Crest Farm to learn about feeder cattle purchasing and the process of growing cattle to harvest. A surprise visit to the Hershey’s Chocolate World delighted the group, followed by a tour of Penn State University’s agricultural facilities, including the meats
lab and the beef and sheep centers. A stop at the university’s famous Creamery provided a sweet treat and a highlight of the day. The last stop of the IGS Summit was the historic Gettysburg Battlefield, where attendees received a fun history
lesson from Jon DeClerk on the site’s significance during the Civil War.
Although the attendees have returned home, we hope the lessons, memories, and friendships made at the IGS Summit will remain with them. It was
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with industry leaders, explore historical landmarks, and grow as young agricultural leaders.
Stay tuned for more details about IGS Summit 2027!
