In the past few months, as another year closes, I’ve started to make plans and to set goals for 2016. Trips I want to take, learning how to get more involved in my community, setting financial targets, making time to read more for leisure and, of course, planning for Hereford World content, among many others, have been on my mind.

This time of year is a time of reflection in preparation for a fresh start at midnight on January 1 as we’ll ring in a new year. It’s fitting, then, that we come out of the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting to learn that the Association has done just that.

Hereford breeders reflected on an outstanding year gone by, considered what they had learned, set direction and are ready to take on upcoming challenges as well as to capitalize on opportunities. And, after talking with breeders in Kansas City, I know this is also true for them back home at their farms and ranches.

In this issueFlip through the following pages to learn how Hereford “Celebrates the Brand,” during the AHA annual meeting weekend. This section provides a recap on all events from recognizing Hereford honorees and electing three

new AHA Board directors to who took home top honors at the American Royal National Hereford Show.

Be sure to read “CHB: The Early Years” for a review of how in the past 20 years of the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) program it has evolved to be invaluable to Hereford breeders.

Don’t miss the “National Western Preview” section, starting on 5, or the newest addition to the Hereford World on Page 121 as we follow the story of a young Hereford family in the “Hereford Mom Diaries.”

Finally, I want to wish each of you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. HW

As we prepare for the Christmas season, it is important to reflect on the challenges and opportunities that have faced the American Hereford Association (AHA) over the past few months.

During the recent AHA Annual Meeting in Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 30 — Nov. 1, Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) celebrated its 20-year anniversary, and a group of past Board members got together to reminisce about the merger of the Hereford and Polled Hereford associations, which also took place 20 years ago.

In perfect balanceFor the largest share of the past 20 years, the AHA has had one leader, Craig Huffhines, and during the annual meeting, we had a chance to honor Craig for his years of service to the AHA. As I mentioned on that Friday evening, a wise Purdue economics professor, Bob Taylor, shared with the graduating class of 1986 that the biggest challenge we would face as we started our professional careers is balancing our job, family and spiritual life.

As I worked side by side with Craig for twelve years, he was the epitome of a great leader because he kept things in perfect balance. I owe a lot to Craig, just as all of us do, for his leadership, knowledge and commitment to the livestock industry. Through Craig’s

leadership, the Hereford breed is positioned well, and our challenge now will be to keep this position and to move it ahead.

New staff, new rolesAs I continue to transition to this new role at AHA, I look forward to working with staff, breeders and the AHA Board of Directors to produce the tools that will create demand for Hereford cattle within all segments of the industry with a huge focus on commercial breeders, feedlots and packers.

With that said, I want to welcome Shane Bedwell as the new chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. His role will be to bring a fresh and exciting face to the AHA, and he will work to create tools through breed improvement programs that will help the membership select cattle that will be profitable for their customers.

Trey Befort will combine his old role of being the head of cattle procurement for CHB with one of being the director of commercial programs. Trey will continue to focus on putting Hereford-influenced cattle into feedyards, but he will also be challenged to put together a strategy for the AHA to collect more feedlot and packer data that can be utilized in the genetic evaluation in order to prove the worth of Hereford feeder cattle.

In addition, he along with staff, will develop tools to recognize Hereford-influenced cattle that are sired by genetics that will add value through growing stages, feedlot performance and end product merit. These tools will ultimately be used by seedstock producers’ customers to recognize value in Hereford-influenced cattle.

Finally, Amari Manning has been hired as the chief operating officer of CHB (see CHB Bites on Page 20). Her focus will be the everyday management of CHB including managing sales staff, packer relations and the promotion and growth of CHB.

This program has had a huge effect on Hereford-influenced cattle over the past 20 years with 641 million lb. sold, representing 5.4 million cattle harvested and 3.4 million certified. Amari will bring fresh and exciting ideas that can move the CHB brand in a direction that will continue to create demand for Hereford genetics.

This new and current staff has so much knowledge and enthusiasm for the beef industry and Hereford breed. I am blessed to serve the Hereford breed, and I have been blessed to spend my entire life in the industry that I cherish. I look forward to continuing the growth and excitement for Hereford genetics. God bless and merry Christmas to all. HW

Moving Hereford Ahead


The American Hereford Association (AHA) is in its 15th year of Whole Herd Reporting. Recently, this program allowed for the development of two new fertility traits, Heifer Calving Rate (HCR) and Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF), which have been released as a research analysis on the AHA website at Hereford.org.

These two traits will become part of the full evaluation in the near future and will be added to the $ Indexes. But today they are just reported as research with no correlation to any other traits and have no genomic component. These are the two new

fertility expected progeny differences (EPDs).

Heifer Calving RateThe Heifer Calving Rate EPDs are produced from an animal model genetic evaluation for 293,313 animals encompassing a six-generation pedigree. Heifer calving records were analyzed as a categorical trait in which more than 98,000 records were used in the binary analysis as calved and not calved, based on recorded calf birth date.

The contemporary groups were defined as herd, first-calf heifer yearling contemporary group, calf birth year and season. A restriction of age

at first calving between 600-800 days was used as part of edits along with checks for contemporary group variation. Heifer calving rate for the dataset was 73%, under the criterion that the heifers calved by 800 days of age. The heritability for heifer calving rate is .15, which is consistent with the magnitude of estimates for lowly heritable reproductive traits but still allows for genetic progress.

The following example depicts a comparison between two sires for their HCR EPDs to describe genetic differences in future daughter calving rate. Note that a higher

AHA Releases New Fertility Traits

Bedwell named COO and director of breed improvementShane Bedwell, Ft. Collins, Colo., has been named chief operating officer (COO) and director of breed improvement of the American Hereford Association (AHA).

In this role, Shane will lead the AHA performance department and oversee the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) and Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program.

“I feel very humbled and honored to take the job as director of breed improvement and COO for the American Hereford Association,” Shane says. “I look forward to serving the membership and working for a first-class organization. I believe that because of AHA’s outstanding leadership, the breed is currently positioned very well in the industry, and I envision continued growth for the years to come.”

Prior to joining the AHA staff, Shane coached the livestock judging team at Colorado State University. In that role since August 2007, he has led many successful and championship teams. He also was an instructor for two livestock selection classes, as well as co-taught animal nutrition while serving as advisor for CSU’s Block & Bridle club.

A Kansas State University graduate, Shane was a member of the 2003 Reserve National Champion Judging Team. Shane earned a master’s degree in beef cattle nutrition from the University of Illinois in 2007.

Shane was raised on a cow-calf and stocker ranch near Medicine Lodge, Kan., and continues to help manage his family’s 350 head cow-calf operation, which consists of a rotational cross of Hereford, Angus and Red Angus.

Shane has had the opportunity to judge cattle in 30 states including the National Western Stock Show, American Royal, North American, Fort Worth Stock Show, San Antonio Livestock Show and the Houston Livestock and Rodeo. He says he enjoys youth events and working with students who are focused on pursuing a career in the livestock industry.

“We are excited to have Shane join our Hereford team,” Jack says. “He brings a wealth of commercial industry knowledge to our organization as well as a unique ability to communicate technology and science in beef-producer terms. He will lead our research projects as we continue to document and prove the Hereford advantage.”

Shane and his wife, Lacey, have a 4-year-old daughter, Cealy Rose, and a 1-year-old son, Chisum. The family will relocate to the Kansas City area. Shane will begin his duties in the AHA office in late December. HW

Don’t miss this herd sire prospect.


value is associated with favorable genetic potential for calving rate in daughters. As with other EPDs, the difference between individuals is the best approach to using the HCR EPDs. With the economic impact of reproductive rate in beef cattle operations, the appeal of HCR EPDs is always top of mind. In the future, these EPDs will provide the opportunity to include genetic evaluation results associated with reproduction to directly enhance the benefits of existing AHA selection indexes.

Example: HCR EPD (%)Sire A: HCR EPD = 8%Sire B: HCR EPD = 2%Difference: 6%

Six percent more daughters of Sire A are expected to calve as heifers compared with daughters of Sire B.

Sustained Cow FertilityThe Sustained Cow Fertility evaluation is conducted using software developed especially to implement genetic evaluation for time-to-event data. For the sustained cow fertility genetic evaluation, the event of interest occurs when a female no longer calves annually after having calved as a two-year-old. This survival analysis utilizes Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) records in a sire evaluation model that includes extended pedigree for the sires’ parents, resulting in over 63,000 breeding values.

The yearling contemporary group initiates the analysis. Essentially the SCF dataset is an extension of the data

edited for the Heifer Calving Rate genetic evaluation. After the initial yearling group for SCF, dynamic contemporary groups are used where females exposed together make up a contemporary group. Censoring of females as appropriate takes place to not penalize them for certain lifetime events, such as young females, females sold or females becoming donors.

The calculated age at calving for each parity and inter-calving period is used to establish “success.” The success for a producing female in the herd continues each production cycle until the inter-calving period is less than the gestation length or the dam produces an embryo transfer (ET) calf or the dam is transferred. In addition, the analysis accounts for milk and total maternal calving ease EPDs. Heritability for the current analysis is .20.

The SCF results, reported in percentage units, are oriented so that larger breeding values reflect sires whose daughters calve annually for more years. For example, if Bull A has a SCF = 110 and Bull B has a SCF of +95, Sire A’s daughters are at 15% less risk of being open after a 60-day breeding season than Sire B’s daughters.

Example: SCF EPD(%)Sire A: SCF = 110%Sire B: SCF = 95% Difference: 15%

Sire breeding values are associated with more success in future daughters remaining in the herd when SCF is above 100 and are associated with more risk (less success) when SCF values are below 100.

Dry Matter IntakeIn addition to the fertility traits, a new trait has been released for Dry Matter Intake (DMI). This trait has been developed by using the individual feed intake collected at young sire test programs and research projects and by AHA members testing groups of females, bulls and

steers. This trait is also just in the research release stage and has no genomic component or correlation to other traits. However, this one will be used in the $ Index update.

The DMI EPDs are generated from a multi-trait animal model genetic evaluation for 15,027 animals. Traits represented, in addition to an edited 3,022 individual standardized feed-intake records, include contemporary weaning and yearling growth measures. Weaning weights are included for weaning contemporaries to the intake calves to account for selection bias. Feed-intake heritability is .40, indicating that genetic selection for this trait can be effective.

The following example depicts a comparison between two sires for their DMI EPDs. Note that a lower value is associated with the genetic potential for less intake in future progeny. As with other EPDs, the difference between individuals is the best approach in understanding the DMI EPDs.

In this example, the progeny of Sire A are expected to consume 0.75 lb. less feed per day compared with the progeny of Sire B. This example assumes that all progeny are exposed to the same postweaning feeding management and environment. Care should be taken in the interpretation and application of DMI EPDs, with the best approach being the future use of these genetic values in AHA selection indexes.

Example: DMI EPD (lb. per day)Sire A: DMI EPD = -0.50 lb./dSire B: DMI EPD = +0.25 lb./dDifference: -0.75 lb./d

Progeny of Sire A, on the average, are expected to consume .75 lb. less feed per day when compared with progeny of Sire B.

As with all traits, these can be very useful for genetic improvement, but a balanced approach for selection is always important. These new traits, associated with economic relevance for the beef industry, show the commitment that the Hereford breed and its members have to the commercial industry. HW

BOARD ACTION

Bylaw changeThe AHA Board voted unanimously to make an amendment to the current bylaws by deleting the present Section 3(a) of Article VI in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following Section 3(a):

(a) The Nominating Committee shall nominate not less than three (3) nor more than six (6) candidates for election as Directors of the Association, each of whom shall be an Active Member or a Representative of an Active Member at the time of nomination and shall submit the names of those candidates to delegates at a meeting of delegates. In addition, any delegate present in person may nominate any Active Member as a candidate for Director at the meeting of delegates.

Breed improvementThe Board voted to move toward more frequent runs of the Pan-American Cattle Evaluation (PACE), from two runs to 10 runs per year. It is unclear whether the other PACE countries will proceed along with the AHA. In addition, the AHA will still produce interim numbers between each evaluation.

A review was given on the new traits for Heifer Calving Rate (HCR), Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF) and Dry Matter Intake (DMI). When these traits are released as part of the full evaluation, an update to the current $ Indexes will include these new traits along with new economic figures.

Dorian Garrick, Iowa State University Lush Chair in animal breeding, and Bruce Golden, Cal Poly department head and professor of dairy science, gave an update on the development of a new software package that could be utilized by the AHA.

Larry Kuehn, U.S. Meat Animal Research Center geneticist, gave an overview on how the AHA could move forward with a commercial cow-calf incentive program that could add value to Hereford-sired calves. This program would include the production of a certificate that includes a sire’s expected progeny difference (EPD) makeup and genomic component along with other herd history.

Member serviceFiscal year 2015 saw an increase in electronic registrations to 68.8% compared to the prior year’s rate of 62.8%. Electronic weaning and yearling submissions reached 72.9% and 81.7%, respectively, for the same periods.

The AHA staff has developed a new registration feature for MyHerd.org. The new feature allows members to record their calving data offline by exporting a formatted spreadsheet from their MyHerd account with the ability to import it directly into MyHerd.org for real-time calf registration and data submission.

There were some basic requirements set for MyHerd regional meetings. Please contact the AHA records department for more information

concerning requirements. MyHerd webinars were resumed in November.

There continues to be in-house testing for DNA request screens, and staff will continue to work with breeders to develop this option on MyHerd.

MarketingFiscal year 2015 saw big increases to visits, unique visits and page views on the AHA website, Hereford.org, and the average time spent on the site was nearly three minutes. Banner ads had more than 1.2 million views with more than 14,000 click-thrus.

The new national ad campaign has been launched with testimonials from various large commercial ranchers utilizing Hereford genetics. Print and digital ads have been produced with a new slogan, “He Wants It All.” The media buy will be $176,000 with more than 3 million impressions.

The ad has been posted to HerefordResource.com in different size and customizable formats for state associations and breeders to utilize the materials.

Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®)CHB LLC staff reported a new record of pounds sold at 51.2 million with five new licensed distributors and a large growth in value-added programs. Sysco Minnesota was recognized for marketing more than 10 million lb. of product.

Fear not: for, behold,I bring you tidings of great joy…

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Luke 2:1-14 kJV

Whole Herd Total Performance Record (TPR™) reminderSpring 2016 herd inventories will be generated this month for Whole Herd TPR™. Check your mail or MyHerd.org account for your herd inventory and remember to get it turned in by Jan. 15 to receive a 25-cent-per-head discount on every female maintained on the inventory.

MyHerd.org — New online registryHave you signed up to use the new online registry, MyHerd.org? If not, why not? Are you still using paper forms or are afraid to make a mistake? Or, are you short on time to learn something new? Put all your concerns away with your summer clothes and take 30 minutes to attend an online webinar with the School of MyHerd to learn how the new online registry can help you.

What is MyHerd?MyHerd is a real-time registry system that allows Hereford breeders to turn in their registration and performance work, transfer animals, pay their bills and handle Hereford business anytime day or night.

Is it difficult to learn how to use MyHerd?It may take time to get acquainted with the program, but the School of MyHerd webinar series helps members learn to use MyHerd and provides the opportunity for breeders to ask questions.

Jan Adcock from Assumption, Ill., says, “I would tell any breeder thinking about trying it to just go ahead and do it because it’s worth a try — it’s a lot easier. Also, don’t be intimidated. Yes, there is a learning curve and yes, you’ll probably make a mistake, but the American Hereford Association is very helpful if you have questions. If there is an error or a problem in data I submit, I know immediately and the program tells you what to fix.”

What is a webinar? A webinar is a presentation that takes place on the Internet. It allows participants from different locations to come together for a virtual presentation and to ask questions.

How do I register to attend a School of MyHerd webinar?To attend a session, you’ll first need to register at Hereford.org/schoolofmyherd. After registration, you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail with information on how to join the webinar session. When it’s time for the session, log into your e-mail, open the webinar reminder message and click on “Join URL.”

More informationIf you don’t have time to attend a webinar session, call the AHA customer service department for more information or send an e-mail to [email protected] to speak with the MyHerd team. HW

Manning Named CHB COO and General ManagerAmari Manning, St. Louis, Mo., joined Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) LLC on Oct. 19 as chief operating officer (COO) and general manager. Manning joins the CHB LLC team with 10 years of experience in the meat industry.

As general manager, she will lead the day-to-day operations of CHB LLC. “We are excited to have Amari join our staff and lead the CHB team,” says Jack Ward, American Hereford Association executive vice president. “Her meat industry experience along with her ability to develop strategic business and marketing plans that increase market share will be a valuable asset to the program.”

Recently, Manning served as the Premium Protein Specialist/Brand Manager for Sysco St. Louis. In this role she managed all center-of-the-plate business activities in her Missouri and Illinois territory. Prior to moving to Missouri, she served as the premium protein brand manager at Sysco Philadelphia.

She has also worked for Buckhead Beef and Catelli Bros. as a regional sales manager. During her career, she has worked in both business development and sales. She has also worked with branded-beef programs and understands the strategy necessary to build and to market a successful brand.

“Our goal for Certified Hereford Beef is to continue to build and create awareness for the brand in both the foodservice and retail industry through education, innovation and sustainability,” Manning says. “Having experience

in various segments of the market and an understanding of the dynamics of our industry allows a fresh perspective in creating a strategy to further develop the market. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to increase the demand for

Certified Hereford Beef and take CHB to the next level.”

CHB surpasses 51 million lb.Celebrating its 20th year as a brand, the CHB program experienced a record year of growth during fiscal year (FY) 2015 with 51.2 million lb. of product sold. Since 2008, CHB LLC has increased beef sales by 46%.

CHB LLC staff, along with the program’s marketing partners, tout the advantages of CHB product in marketing differentiation when compared to other brands, along with the fact that it is a consistently tender, juicy and flavorful beef product. These advantages are fueling the brand’s advance in both food service and retail markets.

Food service continues to provide the most growth opportunity for CHB LLC. As consumers continue to prepare fewer meals at home, CHB LLC staff have worked hard to supply a high-quality source of beef to restaurateurs and chefs through distributors around the country.

CHB LLC’s foodservice division experienced a 2 million lb. growth during FY 2015. The following new distributors contributed to this increase: Cash Wa Distribution, Kearney, Neb.; Sysco Virginia, Harrisonburg, Va.; Crystal Creek Cattle Co., Ft. Worth, Texas; Golden Gate Meats, Sacramento, Calif.; and Sysco North Dakota, Fargo, N.D.

The program also experienced growth in its export sales to the Caribbean and Central and South America markets. A new opportunity explored, implemented and becoming an asset to the program this fiscal year was CHB value-added products.

As the demand for CHB continues to grow, the supply of high-quality cattle must also continue to increase. CHB LLC staff, along with CHB packing partners, are continually working to increase not only the supply but also to increase carcass utilization.

In a cattle market that is offering record low cattle numbers, CHB LLC continues to find ways to utilize as much of each carcass as possible to meet the demand for CHB.

A total of 336,147 cattle were identified through CHB-licensed packing facilities during FY 2015 as eligible from a live specification standpoint, while more than 235,650 carcasses were certified for the program — a certification rate of 70% for FY 2015.

“Although CHB cattle numbers were down, by increasing carcass utilization, the tonnage sold ended up higher than ever before,” explains Trey Befort, CHB LLC director of commercial programs.

“As the Hereford breed continues to gain market share and more commercial cattlemen are using Hereford genetics, the supply for CHB will continue to grow.”

Since the beginning of CHB LLC 20 years ago, more than 5.3 million cattle have been identified, and more than 3.4 million carcasses have been certified to carry the CHB name at licensed packing partners. HW

Steer exhibitors at the 2016 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) will go through a different process for registering their steers (see AHA DNA show rule). Exhibitors will have to submit DNA for their steers by April 1. Once an exhibitor has received the results of his or her steer’s DNA test and the steer’s DNA aligns with the registration papers, the exhibitor can then register his or her steer for the JNHE.

For those of you who have been around the breed and the JNHE, or even if you haven’t, the steer show has adjusted and changed its rules throughout the years with the goal of making the breed as a whole that much stronger.

The Hereford breed has grown in its popularity over the years as well. Unfortunately, with that growth in popularity has also been the growth

of Hereford marked cattle that are not genetically purebred Herefords. As our breed grows in popularity, the American Hereford Association (AHA) must continue to protect the integrity of our breed, including both exhibitors and breeders alike.

No doubt we all want the best for the breed and everyone involved with it, but mistakes happen whether they are intentional or not. The cattle industry as a whole has changed so much over the years with a drastic increase in things like online sales and the number of times cattle can pass from hand to hand before they reach their final destination.

I feel totally confident when I say that this new rule has been put into place with the exhibitors’ best interests at heart. Even though the phenotype of an animal may appear Hereford, unfortunately, the genotype through DNA testing can tell you otherwise.

I have been in this breed my entire life and have never thought to question whether the genetic makeup of animals that I buy matches the papers that come with them, but, unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way that, simply put, times have changed. As an exhibitor, finding out after the fact is devastating and heartbreaking, and something I wouldn’t want any exhibitor to go through. This new DNA rule for JNHE steers is there to protect the exhibitors before they

get to the show, and I think it is a fantastic stride for our breed.

To further expand upon the new DNA rules, if a steer’s DNA doesn’t come back matching the papers, the exhibitor will have thirty days to identify the issue and retest. This period would be the opportunity for the exhibitor to identify if there was an issue such as a sire mix-up, and, for example, he or she merely has the wrong Hereford sire listed.

If an exhibitor at the JNHE or any AHA show has an animal whose DNA is pulled and it doesn’t match the registration papers, then that exhibitor’s AHA and National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) memberships will be revoked for one year, and therefore, the exhibitor will not be eligible to participate in all AHA and NJHA shows for that year.

We now have the opportunity as exhibitors to identify DNA issues before we even arrive at the JNHE. This DNA testing/rule change is a great way to protect yourself as an exhibitor, and I think the AHA and NJHA are to be commended for building upon the rules for the betterment of the breed.

We encourage you to get your JNHE steers DNA tested prior to April 1 so that you can be ahead of the rush. We should all be extremely thankful to be involved with a breed that continues to make changes and improvements so that our breed can flourish. HW

AHA DNA show ruleIf an American Hereford Association (AHA) registered heifer, bull or steer does not match the DNA sample taken at an AHA sponsored event, then the exhibitor would have their membership revoked and will not be eligible to participate in any AHA sponsored shows, events and sales for one year after the first violation. The membership ban would run from one year from the event date where the situation occurred.

On the second violation, the exhibitor would have their AHA membership banned for life.

If the DNA sample taken was inconclusive as to the Hereford parentage (artificial insemination [AI] versus bull bred, or a mix up on AI semen used for breeding or embryo transfer) then the exhibitor will have 30 days to submit a new sample. HW

National Hereford Women (NHW) hopes that you enjoyed your time of fellowship during the annual meetings in late October. Members enjoyed meeting new Hereford breeders from every stage of life and partaking in many events that created lifetime memories.

Upcoming leadershipMeetings throughout the weekend stirred great discussion and exciting ideas for NHW projects. During the weekend events, the NHW hosted the 40th anniversary of the National Queen Program and the annual membership meeting.

Outgoing NHW President Alise Nolan said, “We give of ourselves unselfishly, and we ultimately realize the greater good and honor of serving on the NHW Board and the many lives we touch each year.”

The introduction of new board members included Karen Smith, Gatesville, Texas, and Trudy Nolles, Bassett, Neb. Rhonda Eck, Putnum, Okla., will serve an additional term. The 2015-16 executive board is comprised of Maddee Moore, Pendleton, Ore., president; Jill Folkman, Ixonia, Wis.; Barbara Metch, Canton, Texas; Michelle Beran, Clafin, Kan.; Beth Blinson, Buies Creek, N.C.; and Alise Nolan, Gilmer, Texas.

The NHW annual membership meeting was greeted with a large and diverse membership base. Those in attendance included individuals who served on foundational Hereford women’s organizations, members of the NHW and beyond. “Growing our membership base is always a focus and this year we were able to accomplish that by a significant amount,” said Beth Blinson, NHW treasurer.

National Queen program The 2015 National Hereford Queen, Katie Nolles, gave her closing comments about her year as national queen. The NHW wants to thank Katie for doing an exceptional job representing the Hereford breed this past year. She completed her reign by leading a tremendous group of national queen contestants through the 2016 contest.

“The National Hereford Women were delighted with a great group of young women vying for National Hereford Queen,” said Michelle Beran, queen committee co-chair. “This group of young ladies not only represent the Hereford breed for their state associations, but are involved leaders in their local communities and are continually advocating for modern agriculture.”

The 40th anniversary celebration for the National Queen Program was a huge success. Numerous past state and national queens were in attendance, and the group enjoyed the time to reflect and reminisce on their experiences of what the

queen program did for them. We are excited about the response to this event and will be looking to continue the tradition.

Thank you to Grand Meadows The Bielema family and Grand Meadows Farm made a large contribution to the National Hereford Queen Program during the Ladies of the Royal Sale. Half of the proceeds from their Lot 12 heifer, Grand Natalya 5C, went directly to the program.

The Bielema family has a dedicated history with the NHW. Jill is a former queen committee chair and daughter Lindsay Gandy served as the 2008 National Polled Hereford Queen. The dam of the sale heifer was purchased by Gandy at the Lowderman Cattle Co. sale during her reign as queen. The NHW thanks the Bielema family for their generous contribution to the future of the program.

NHW ways and means As you make plans for holiday gifts and spring shows, don’t forget the NHW has several great items for sale. The exclusive NHW print collection makes unique gifts for anyone. For more information, contact Jill Folkman at 414-303-4100 or through the NHW Facebook page.

Employees are a key ingredient that determines the success or failure of any business or organization. And true leaders understand that to develop employees who are engaged, enthusiastic and loyal requires an investment of time — your time — in getting to know those individuals.

Patrick Lencioni explained the process this way in his September 2015 Inc. column: “The key to creating [engaged] workers in your business is as simple and cost-free as it is overlooked. It comes in the form of giving them what they want, need and deserve more than anything else: to be known.”

He continued, “…known in a way that all people want to be known, by friends and family. Who they are. Where they come from. What makes them tick. How their life is going.”

Lencioni underscores this important point: “When employees [or members/volunteers of an organization] feel anonymous in the eyes of their managers, they simply cannot love their work, no matter how much money they make or how wonderful their jobs seem to be. But when they are known, they work harder, promote the company enthusiastically, recruit other good people to the organization and make greater sacrifices for customers. All of which is more effective than any PR or marketing campaign will ever be.”

Employee sustainabilityBeef Northwest’s Kirk Jacobson shares this view of engaging with and investing in employees. He points out that when most owners think of the variables that affect their beef operations’ profitability, the first things that come to mind are likely feed costs, animal health and fuel or trucking. But Jacobson suggests there is another big one — employee management.

“To me it is one of the key variables that impacts

profitability,” says Jacobson, who is human resource director for Beef Northwest, a diversified agribusiness operation in Washington and Oregon. The company has 190 employees employed at four feedlots that have 90,000 head capacity, three ranches and a trucking company.

Jacobson oversees the hiring and training of those employees and says they spend a lot of resources on employees. He reports Beef Northwest’s focus is on employee sustainability, which he describes as “hiring the best, not settling and having the right people engaged in jobs with vision and a succession plan.”

Ultimately, Jacobson says, “We should all strive to be hiring our replacement.”

The result of hiring, training and fostering dedicated employees, suggests Jacobson, can be seen in improved net profit, better family time, less stress and worry, better job satisfaction, and a great reputation for the business.

Jacobson says a common mistake managers make is being a “control freak.” He says, “It makes us good, but it also makes us bad… . Managers must learn to delegate, communicate and train. You can’t grow people if you don’t delegate.”

Thus, he is adamant about having a training plan for employees. “It doesn’t need to be complex; it can be bullet points with a timeline,” Jacobson says. “Know what you want them to know after two weeks, two months, two years on the job. With the development of this training plan, you are helping communicate your vision for them and their role.”

Along with training, Jacobson advises holding a formal bi-weekly follow-up with new employees. He suggests using a one-page form to score them and to share comments. “The ability to provide feedback is

important, and I’m told by many that they love it. We don’t give employees enough feedback. It’s simple communication that makes them feel welcome. You get to know them and they get to know more about what is expected in their job.”

Additionally, Jacobson promotes offering internships. He says, “Offering internships helps grow the pipeline of future employees for your business. And, interns challenge you and make you better. They see the business [and industry] through different eyes.”

In situations where an employee doesn’t seem to be working out, Jacobson stresses that early communication is essential. “Verbally discuss the gap between expectations and performance. Put the concerns in writing as well. Then give them an opportunity to meet the expectations that have been set,” he says.

Jacobson adds, “If you don’t have the guts to have a conversation, there is no opportunity to improve. So address issues while they are small.”

If the situation does not improve, he says, “Give them an exit strategy and keep it professional.” In the event of a termination, he says, “Do it right,” and emphasizes having legal counsel on what you must provide with regard to workers compensation, unemployment wages and/or liability.

From his experience Jacobson adds, “If there is a bad apple [employee], don’t keep them. Good builds on good; and your culture can pick up steam.”

Lastly, Jacobson says, “Managing people in your work force is very similar to low stress cattle handling. Every employee has a different background, and we have to identify that as leaders. Some have been chased by wolves and brow beat and just need a different manager.” HW

2015 AHA Annual Meeting and American Royal Coverage

Hereford Celebrates the BrandHereford members celebrated a year of successes, honored breeders and set the course for 2016 at the American Hereford Association Annual Meeting Oct. 30 – Nov. 1.

Hereford members and breeders from across the country met in

Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 30-Nov. 1 for a weekend of “Celebrating the Brand” by honoring deserving breeders, hearing from industry leaders, conducting American Hereford Association (AHA) business and attending Hereford activities at the American Royal.

A crowd of nearly 200 attended the Friday afternoon Hereford educational forum at the Kansas City Marriott Downtown. Attendees heard an update on new Hereford traits and received tips for scoring udders from Sally Northcutt and Bill Bowman of Method Genetics LLC. Dorian Garrick, Iowa State University Lush Chair in animal breeding and genetics, provided a review of genetic evaluations including the history and possible future of evaluations for the Hereford breed. See for a summary of the educational forum.

Celebrating legacies and honoring youthFollowing the panel, members and guests were invited to the AHA office at 1501 Wyandotte for the “Celebrate the Brand” event. The office opened its doors for attendees to look through the AHA library, view Hereford history and memorabilia, and enjoy a taste of Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®).

Following the reception, Hereford Hall of Fame recipients, a 10-million-lb. CHB Award recipient, scholarship winners and former AHA Executive

Vice President Craig Huffhines were honored.

The Chandler family of Chandler Herefords, Baker City, Ore., and Marlene and the late Jim Mrnak, Bowman, N.D., were inducted into the Hereford Hall of Fame (see Page 40). Sysco Minnesota was recognized for its dedication to the CHB program with the 10-million-lb. CHB Award (see Page 39).

The Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) awarded more than $38,750 in scholarships to National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members (see Page 42).

To conclude the awards portion of the event, Craig Huffhines received special recognition for his 18 years of leadership for the Hereford breed as executive vice president (see Page 41).

The “Celebrate the Brand” event concluded with an auction with proceeds benefitting HYFA and the NJHA. More than $50,000 was raised to support Hereford youth.

Membership elects directorsThe Annual Membership Meeting began Saturday morning with delegates electing three new directors and the announcement of new officers.

Elected to serve as AHA Directors for the next four years are Peter Atkins, Tea, S.D.; Jim Bellis, Aurora, Mo.; and Kyle Pérez, Nara Visa, N.M. Leading the AHA in 2016 will be Sam Shaw, Caldwell, Idaho, as president and Terri Barber, Channing, Texas, as vice president (see Page 36).

In addition, AHA committee chairmen presented program updates to the membership during the annual meeting. A PDF of the presentation slides summarizing the committee updates is available online at Hereford.org/AnnualMeeting.

During the annual meeting, in celebration of 50 years in the Hereford business, Bookcliff Herefords, Davis Herefords and KEG Herefords were honored as Golden Breeders (see Page 38).

NHW hosts meeting and 40th queen celebrationThe National Hereford Women (NHW) hosted its annual meeting Saturday afternoon, where members elected new board members and announced NHW officers (see NHW board photo on Page 38). The highlight of the meeting was the recognition of the 2015 Hereford Woman of the Year, Dorothy Wright, Alvarado, Texas.

The NHW also hosted a celebration reception to honor past national and state Hereford queens in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the National Hereford Queen Program. For more on the NHW annual meeting and events, see Page 46.

Delegates from across the U.S. elected three new AHA Board members during the AHA Annual Meeting on Oct. 31.


Sale averages $7,607The Ladies of the Royal Sale hosted a large crowd at Wagstaff Arena Oct. 31 at the American Royal complex. The sale once again presented a stellar offering of open and bred females along with some select frozen embryo lots. As the gavel fell silent, 23 heifer calves had walked the ring with an average of $7,607, seven bred females carrying artificial insemination service had averaged $4,750, 16 embryos had gathered $644 per embryo and one flush had sold for $6,000. For more sale highlights, see Page 45.

Herefords in the ring Hereford junior exhibitors led 51 head before judge Travis Pembroke, Fairview, Okla., following the Ladies of the Royal Sale Saturday evening. On Sunday morning, Dan Shike, Urbana, Ill., sorted the 147-head open show. For the American Royal National Hereford Show results and highlights, see Page 52. Complete placings are online at Hereford.org.

Hereford exhibitors were also recognized during the open show for

showcasing their breeding programs at national and regional shows throughout the past year. Awards for Hereford show heifer, show bull and premier exhibitor were presented to recipients in each of four U.S. regions. See Page 50 for a list of this year’s winners.

National Hereford Queen crownedPrior to the selection of the champion bull, Taylor Belle Matheny, Mays Lick, Ky., was crowned the 2015-16 National

Hereford Queen. Taylor Belle will spend the next year as the face of the Hereford breed and as an agriculture advocate. She competed against seven other state queens for the title. First runner-up honors went to Jena McCall, Emory, Texas; Brianne Nelsen, Fredonia, Kan., was named second runner-up; and Stephanie Golightly, Bellville, Texas, was selected Miss Congeniality (see Page 48).

AHA Hosts Educational ForumThe American Hereford Association (AHA) educational forum provides details on new traits.by Julie White

Hereford breeders gathered Oct. 30 in Kansas City, Mo., for

an educational forum to learn about new traits that will be made available for producers to utilize when making genetic selection decisions.

Heifer Calving Rate (HCR) and Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF) are the latest traits to be released as a research analysis on the AHA website Hereford.org. These two traits will become part of the full evaluation in the near future and will be added to the $ Indexes. However, currently they are

solely reported as research with no correlation to any other traits and have no genomic component.

Sally Northcutt and Bill Bowman of Method Genetics LLC, who presented on the traits, commended the Association for investing in research to help bring new traits to fruition as tools for seedstock producers to use and even more importantly, for their customers’ benefit.

“The exciting thing is that you, as breeders, had the foresight to begin the Whole Herd Total Performance Record (TPR™) program,” Northcutt says. “Participation in that has allowed the creation of a data set that makes these tools possible. You all are to be commended for the participation in that program and how that data has become a valuable resource of your Association and resource of genetics represented by the Hereford breed in the industry today.”

Heifer Calving RateThe Heifer Calving Rate trait was developed from the TPR database, looking at records for heifers on whether they have calved or have not calved based on recorded birth weight.

“Heifer Calving Rate is a categorical trait,” Northcutt explains.

“Either they calved or they didn’t calve. The challenge with these types of traits is that they tend to be lowly heritable. But the heritability estimate is very workable.”

Northcutt says a feature of this trait is that it extends beyond the classic heifer pregnancy expected progeny difference (EPD) and, therefore, is a better representation of the reproductive component.

“The exciting thing is that it’s more reflective of heifers actually having a calf each year,” Bowman adds.

As with other EPDs, Northcutt reminds, this tool should be used to compare two sires. “One thing I like to know about EPDs is to know which direction we want to go,” she says. “Are we looking for a high or low number?”

Heifer Calving Rate EPDs are reported in percentage units and, therefore, for this EPD, higher is favorable to lower (See Performance Matters on Page 10 for an example).

“This Heifer Calving Rate trait has a nice heritability from which to work so you are capitalizing on some of the more difficult traits to measure in our industry,” Northcutt says. “This is a real good one to address and put some selection pressure to improve heifer calving rate.”

She adds that a key element to this trait is that it can be directly incorporated into $ Indexes.

Bowman says, “As we move forward with these individual tools, rather than relying on some of the basic correlations for some of the traits, you’ve actually got fertility measures that can directly go into those $ Indexes. So, it can really take them up a notch and create a next level on enhancement that will be valuable.”

Sustained Cow FertilityHeifer Calving Rate analyses provided the dataset foundation from which to work to address longevity with Sustained Cow Fertility.Two new fertility traits, Heifer Calving Rate and Sustained Cow Fertility, will become part of

the full genetic evaluation in the near future.

Sally Northcutt, Method Genetics LLC, explains the background behind new Hereford traits.


Northcutt explains, “Taking that reproductive complex of longevity and time in the herd that we want a female to produce a calf every year, we asked is there a way to do the math and work through that to develop a selection tool?”

The Sustained Cow Fertility trait is different from traditional selection tools in terms of longevity. “It’s called a survival analysis,” she says. “The take-home point is how we can better utilize the whole herd data you have on a cow producing a calf every year and how that relates to a genetic value predicted on sires on the Hereford database.”

She adds that what makes this trait unique is that the contemporary groups become dynamic after the first calf.

“The key point here, again, is that your participation in TPR gets you in the ball game,” Bowman says. “It’s pulled out of that system that creates this genetic evaluation. Like Sally said, traditionally a lot of the stayability type measures have always been based or relied on a cows ability to remain in the herd when she’s six years of age, for example. This is a lot more dynamic and a lot more fluid and it allows you to get some genetic predictions on these cattle at a much younger age.”

Northcutt says this trait is calculated as a risk ratio — is there more risk or less risk? “Think about it in terms of definition,” she says. “Is the cow successful? We keep track of each cow with elementary records. When she fails, that’s it, but that’s not all of the story.”

Some cows receive a pass, which is termed as being “censored,” in order to not penalize a sire’s genetic prediction for “incomplete records” if a female is transferred or becomes a donor dam. “We are aware of that in the analysis too and we make that adjustment,” she says.

The SCF EPD looks like a ratio and is set up so that a higher value is more favorable. For example, a higher number assumes a cow is at less risk, or is more successful over time, and a lower number assumes a cow is at more risk, or less successful over time (See Performance Matters on Page 10 for an example).

Dry Matter Intake“The AHA has also invested in research and has done a lot in terms of feed intake data collection,” Bowman says. The Dry Matter Intake (DMI) trait has been developed by using the individual feed intake collected at young sire test programs and research projects and by AHA members testing groups of females, bulls and steers. This trait is also in the research release stage and has no genomic component or correlation to other traits. However, this one will be used in the $ Index update.

“It’s exciting to see this data able to be used and to help characterize the cattle you all are producing,” he says.

Dry Matter Intake is a multi-trait analysis, which started with 5,000 individual feed intake records but other traits are included as well, incorporating weaning weight and yearling weight information.

“Weaning is included to account for selection bias and we also incorporate not only direct effects of weaning but also that maternal genetic component is accounted for as well,” Northcutt says.

For this EPD, a lower value is more favorable. “This makes sense if it’s an intake EPD and pounds per day,” Northcutt says. “If the number is less you would think the calf eats less and consumes less. One could initially view it if one would want to decrease intake, in that selection piece then negative is the way to go. But, we have a lot of cautions with this one in terms of application.” (See Performance Matters on Page 10 for an example).

Once again, the selection strategy for DMI would be to compare sires. “One of the important things when you

look at intake EPDs alone, we know there are good correlations that we’ve known for a long time,” Bowman says.

“Cattle that gain well typically are a little more efficient, but they also eat a lot of feed if they are high gainers,” he adds. “What we’re attempting to do with this is to refine and find those real outliers. So, if you can identify the cattle whose progeny still gain like you want them to but eat less feed then you’re making some progress and can make some real improvement in terms of efficiency.”

Northcutt says to keep in mind the Dry Matter Intake trait is applicable to a post-weaning gain scenario. This trait is not applicable to cows in production cycles.

“The exciting thing is you’ve gotten access to and created selection tools for really hard-to-measure traits,” Bowman says. “Some of them are going to be new genetic values that have not really been available in the industry anywhere and that’s a real positive approach. HW

Hereford breeders took advantage of the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the speakers.

Bill Bowman, Method Genetics LLC, commended the AHA for investing in research.



Shaw Elected AHA PresidentSam Shaw of Caldwell,

Idaho, was announced as the new president of the American Hereford Association (AHA) during the Annual Membership Meeting Oct. 31 in Kansas City, Mo.

Sam has been involved in the Hereford business since birth. His family, which has been in the Hereford business for 71 years, owns and operates Shaw Cattle Co. Sam’s children are the fourth generation involved with Hereford cattle.

“It’s an honor for me to represent the breed that has been our family’s passion for four generations,” Sam says. “Having grown up through the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) program, the Hereford breed and breeders have given me a lot of opportunities, and it is a pleasure for me to be able to give something back.”

The Shaws currently run more than 1,500 cows including registered Herefords, Angus and Red Angus. Two-thirds of the Shaw herd calves in the spring with the remainder calving in the fall. The Shaws market 400 bulls in their annual bull sale and host an annual female sale in the spring marketing 200 females. They also sell bulls and females private treaty throughout the year.

Sam says he believes in the value the AHA provides Hereford breeders and plans to lead the Association with that in mind. “I want to see the AHA continue to be a member-service-driven organization that provides our members with the information needed to gain back market share in their marketing area,” he says. “As

a Board we want to see the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) program continue to grow through foodservice and retail. Also, staying financially responsible is top of mind.”

The Shaws’ breeding philosophy is based on their customers’ needs including production, soundness and performance. They have an extensive artificial insemination (AI) program. All females are synchronized once and then heat detected for a second cycle. They also collect feed intake data using the GrowSafe program. The entire crop of bulls from their fall calving herd is placed in the program.

Growing up, Sam was active in the NJHA, serving as president of the junior board. He represented AHA at the Young Cattlemen’s Conference (YCC) in 2003 and served as chairman of YCC in 2004.

He served as the Idaho Cattlemen’s Association purebred council chairman

from 2006 to 2008. Sam and his wife, Janel, have three daughters.

“The Hereford breed is in a great position in the beef industry,” Sam says. “As cattlemen are looking to grow the national cow herd, there is not a better female to expand cattle operations with than a Hereford or Hereford-influenced female. Our breed can do many things to help the beef industry move forward.”

Barber selected vice presidentSelected to serve as the 2016 vice president was Terri Barber, Channing, Texas. Terri has been involved in the Hereford business since birth. Her family owns and operates Barber Ranch at Channing.

Founded in 1904, Barber Ranch was a 2004 honoree of the Texas Family Land Heritage Program for being in continuous family ownership for 100 years. Herefords have been the mainstay of the Barber program since the beginning, with the herd currently consisting of 200 registered females.

The Barber family uses extensive AI and embryo transfer (ET) in their efforts to offer customers the best genetics available. They host an annual bull sale in November in San Saba — the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Show heifer and donor prospects are sold in special sales in the spring and fall. To increase marketing efforts, the Barbers also exhibit at the national shows.

Along with assisting on the ranch as time permits, since 2007 Terri has worked for Elanco Animal Health as its beef stocker sales representative for south and central Texas and Louisiana. In this role she calls on beef producers, veterinarians and academia within her territory. She has also served as Elanco’s branded beef marketing associate and has worked directly with premier branded programs in the U.S.

Terri is a member of the Texas Hereford Association and is currently serving as vice president. She is also a past president of the Texas Hereford Auxiliary.

Sam Shaw


Directors electedDelegates elected three new directors during the membership meeting. Peter Atkins, Tea, S.D.; Jim Bellis, Aurora, Mo.; Kyle Pérez, Nara Visa, N.M., will serve four-year terms on the 12-member Board.

Completing their terms on the AHA Board were outgoing president Eric Walker, Morrison, Tenn.; Fred Larson, Spring Valley, Wis.; and David Trowbridge, Tabor, Iowa.

Peter AtkinsPeter “Pete” Atkins and his wife, Laura, and three sons, Scott, Craig and Paul, own and operate Atkins Herefords, Tea, S.D.

Pete was raised on a diversified cattle, hog and crop farming operation in southeastern South Dakota, where he and his wife live today. His parents, Alvin and Marguerite Atkins, purchased the family’s first Herefords in 1971 and have had as many as 100 registered cows at their peak in size.

The Atkins family started collecting and reporting performance data in 1975 and has used AI since the late 1970s and ET for the past 10 years.

Atkins Herefords’ goal is to produce high-performing cattle with moderate birth weights that have eye appeal and will work for the commercial cattleman. Emphasis is placed on raising sound, trouble-free cattle, and udder quality in the cow herd is stressed heavily. Pete thinks it is important to use a balance of all tools available when selecting breeding stock.

Today, Atkins Herefords consists of a base herd of 30 registered cows, and it produces an additional 20 to 50 ET calves each year. Together with their good friends and partners, the Jerry Delaney family, the Atkinses market bulls through a bull sale each January, and every other year they market females through a fall production sale. In the year between female production sales, females are offered at their fall preview event, which includes a customer appreciation dinner and previews that year’s calf crop along with the Denver prospects. Atkins Herefords

consigns bulls and females to the Mile High Night Sale and exhibits carloads of bulls and pens of heifers with the Delaneys each year in Denver.

Pete has served as a board member and president of the South Dakota Hereford Association. He is a board member for the John Leibel Memorial Scholarship and has been the chairman of the Sioux Empire Farm Show Hereford sale committee since its inception 15 years ago. He has served as a voting delegate at the AHA Annual Meeting and is a former field representative for the American Polled Hereford Association (APHA).

He is also a board member for the 4-H Livestock Industry Trust Fund of South Dakota and a member and past church councilman of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Tea.

Jim BellisHereford breeder Jim Bellis, Aurora, Mo., got his start in the business 46 years ago as a high school freshman. His interest in genetics and breed improvement began early in life.

With a career in agriculture education, he grew his cow herd slowly, utilizing AI when affordable. He participated in the former APHA young sire testing program. For the existence of the program, the Bellis herd sampled young sires in comparison with proven reference sires.

Jim operated Missouri’s only Gold Performance Bull Test, cooperating with breeders from four states in feeding up to 50 bulls each season. He was diligent in keeping both the bull and heifer calf crops together as contemporary groups to maximize the use of data utilized to calculate expected progeny differences (EPDs).

He was one of the first breeders to put EPDs in his sale catalogs. The Bellis family first cooperated with other breeders for 14 annual or semiannual sales prior to starting its own production sale in 2005. It has also been a regular participant in the AHA’s National Reference Sire Program.

Working to breed low-birth-weight and calving-ease bulls that don’t

sacrifice the growth and carcass traits needed for top-performing cattle, the Bellises sell up to 60 Hereford bulls per year. They calve approximately 150 purebred females per year also, using mostly purebred females as recips for their ET program.

Jim has been named purebred breeder of the year by the Missouri Beef Industry Council, as well as seedstock breeder of the year four times by the Missouri Hereford or Polled Hereford Associations.

He has served as president of Missouri Cattlemen’s Association’s seedstock committee and is a past president of the Missouri Hereford Association.

Professionally, after six years as a high school agriculture teacher, Jim began work for the state supervising Missouri high school agricultural education and FFA programs. He worked 24 years providing leadership to Missouri’s ag education programs with statewide enrollments more than doubling during his tenure.

He then transitioned to Missouri State University’s (MSU) School of Agriculture in 2009, where he now serves as assistant to the director for MSU’s Darr School of Agriculture in Springfield. Leading MSU’s recruitment efforts, in five years the agriculture enrollment has grown from about 380 to almost 700 this fall.

In late 2013, Jim’s right leg was amputated below the knee due to clear cell sarcoma, a rare form of cancer. He describes the experience as a serious time of faith building, but prayers continue to be answered as regular scans show him as cancer free. He now wears a prosthetic.

Jim and his wife, Carla, have two grown daughters — Jamie Johansen and Joanna Wilkinson — and a son, Jonathan, who is a senior at MSU.

Kyle PérezNew Mexico Hereford breeder Kyle has been involved in the Hereford industry since birth. Kyle and his dad, Michael, manage Pérez Cattle Co., formally known as C&M Herefords, on the ranch belonging to Kyle’s

Jim Bellis

Kyle Pérez




grandfather, Don Kuper, where they began raising Hereford cattle in 1945.

Today Pérez Cattle Co. includes 550 registered and commercial mother cows that are managed on 22,000 acres. The Pérezes’ registered program is designed to raise quality seedstock that will advance both commercial and registered operations. Through the extensive use of AI and ET, the Pérez family is able to offer its bull and female clients the most modern and progressive genetics.

The family sells females through Internet sales and registered yearling bulls by private treaty.

Pérez Cattle Co.’s commercial cow herd is a combination of both Hereford and Angus genetics, with the primary goal of raising quality F1s. The operation markets 400 commercial calves annually, and for the past three years, its calves have been sold through the GAP (Good Agricultural

Practices), Age and Source, and All Natural Verified programs.

The area demands a low input cow that can survive in a harsh environment, so Kyle and his family continue to improve their cow herd by placing emphasis on efficiency, udder quality, fertility and performance along with visual appraisal. The Pérez family is committed to expanding its local bull market and family members pride themselves on showing their best range cattle that perform both in the pasture and in the showring. The Pérez family has exhibited cattle at national shows across the country and has had several national champions and reserve champions.

This past fall the Pérez family was honored by the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association as the 2014 Ranch Family of the Year.

As a youth, Kyle served on the NJHA board. During his junior career,

he was named Junior Herdsman of the Year and National Champion Senior Showman. He was also awarded the John Wayne Memorial Award, the Future Cattleman’s Award and the Golden Bull Achievement Award. A graduate of Kansas State University, Kyle was a member of the livestock judging team and honored with the F.W. Bell Livestock Judging Award.

Kyle is currently a member of both the New Mexico and the Texas Hereford Associations. He has attended the AHA Young Guns Conference and has served on the AHA nominating committee. In 2009 he was named the AHA Herdsman of the Year.

He is a director for the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association, serves as his local county fair beef superintendent and is a member of St. Anne’s Catholic Church.

Kyle and his wife, Tonya, have two children — Peyton and Libby. HW

Hall of Fame Inductees HonoredThe Chandler family of Chandler

Herefords, Baker City, Ore., and Marlene and the late Jim Mrnak, Bowman, N.D., were inducted into the Hereford Hall of Fame Oct. 30, 2015. These families were recognized at the “Celebrate the Brand” event during the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting in Kansas City, Mo. The Hall of Fame honor annually recognizes breeders who have dynamically influenced the direction and advancement of the Hereford breed.

Chandler familyThe Chandler family has been raising Herefords in eastern Oregon’s Baker Valley for 126 years. Currently the ranch is operated by Charles; his son, George; George’s wife, Janet; and their son, Duane, and daughter, Patti Hall, and her husband, Cliff.

“This honor means so much to us,” Duane says. “This has been our livelihood for 126 years and we plan on continuing it and raising the best cattle that we can raise and improve them every year. Hereford cattle have been very good to us and that’s the reason we’re still here.”

It was Charles’ great-grandfather who left Missouri in 1862 and headed

to California to find gold but ended up in Oregon only three miles west of the ranch’s headquarters today. The family has been raising cattle there ever since.

Duane and Patti represent the sixth generation to operate the ranch. They sell registered Hereford bulls, replacement heifers and feeders. Chandler Herefords touts genetics that excel in efficiency while adding size with correct type and appealing conformation. Chandler

cattle have natural depth and thickness, with consistency gained from more than a

century in the business. Two members of the

Chandler family — Herbert and George — served as AHA president. In fact, during Herbert’s second term as president in 1953,

he introduced President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who then officially dedicated the new AHA headquarters in Kansas City. And in 1989, the same year Chandler Herefords celebrated 100 years in the Hereford business, Charles was inducted into the Hereford Honor Gallery.

Chandler Herefords has been known for producing some of the top cattle in the country. Most notably, Herbert Chandler bred Mark Donald

in the early 1940s. Mark Donald’s influence continues in the Hereford breed today.

Guy Colyer of Colyer Herefords in Bruneau, Idaho, says it is an honor for him to recommend the Chandler family for induction into the Hereford Hall of Fame.

“The Chandler family has continued to be very aggressive with their breeding program,” Colyer says. “Their cattle are known for their efficiency and doing ability. The Chandler family is rich in tradition but has kept up in the modern era and uses every modern convenience in today’s operation.”

Marlene and Jim MrnakJim, who passed away in 2010, dedicated his whole life to the Hereford breed. He and Marlene were married for 57 years and raised their five children in the Hereford business.

The Chandler family of Chandler Herefords, Baker City, Ore., were inducted into the Hereford Hall of Fame Friday, Oct. 30, 2015. Pictured (back row, l to r) are: Eric Walker, 2015 AHA president, Morrison, Tenn.; Lacey, Maddee and Margaret Moore, Cove, Ore.; Janet, George and Duane Chandler, Baker City, Ore.; Patti and Cliff Hall, Baker City, Ore.; Sam Shaw, 2016 AHA president, Caldwell, Idaho; and Joe Van Newkirk, AHA Board member, Oshkosh, Neb. Front row (l to r) are Morgan and McKenzie Hall, Baker City, Ore.


Jim was born on the family ranch near Bowman, N.D. After graduating from high school, he purchased five registered Hereford heifers and began to realize his dream of being a Hereford breeder. He also raised wheat, barley, oats, corn and alfalfa. Jim and Marlene married in 1953, and they made their life together breeding and selling Hereford cattle.

Mrnak Herefords embraced technology along the way. The Mrnaks enrolled in performance testing programs and used artificial insemination and embryo transfer.

Each February for the past 47 years, Mrnak Herefords has hosted a bull sale and has been successful in the showring as well. At the National Western Stock Show in Denver, the Mrnaks exhibited the champion Hereford female in both 2001 and 2003.

But possibly the couple’s biggest accomplishment has been raising their children — Connie, Wayne, Terry, Loren and Carla — with a love for the breed. Each has stayed involved in the cattle business. Wayne and Terry, along with Marlene, operate the original ranch at Bowman. Loren owns and operates Mrnak Herefords West in Nevada and California. Connie and her husband have a Hereford-based commercial operation, and Carla and her husband ranch in South Dakota.

“My father lived, breathed and ate Hereford beef his whole life,” Wayne says. “All of us kids were indoctrinated

at a young age to the breed of cattle that we run today. Herefords have been very rewarding to our ranch and to our family.”

The entire Mrnak family is involved, led by Jim and Marlene’s example. Roger Stuber of nearby Stuber Ranch recommended them for this honor. He said, “They have both given their leadership skills and advice to the Hereford industry in many ways. County and state fairs, many Hereford tours, state and national leadership, along with many other endeavors.

Both have given time and support to many other local and state activities.”

Fellow Hereford breeder Bill Bennett summarized their stamp on the Hereford breed nicely in his recommendation letter. He said, “The Mrnaks epitomize the quintessential Hereford cattle family. Jim and Marlene have dedicated their entire lives to the betterment of the Hereford breed. Their cattle have always been distinctive competitors within any arena the Mrnaks have chosen to place them.” HW

Marlene and the late Jim Mrnak, Bowman, N.D., were inducted into the Hereford Hall of Fame Friday, Oct. 30, 2015. Pictured (l to r) are: Joe Van Newkirk, AHA Board member, Oshkosh, Neb.; Eric Walker, 2015 AHA president, Morrison, Tenn.; Andy Mrnak, Bowman, N.D.; Carla Coplan, Watertown, S.D.; Terry, Marlene and Wayne Mrnak, Bowman, N.D.; Connie Hurlbut, Sturgis, S.D.; Robyn Mrnak, Bowman, N.D.; Loren Mrnak, Whitmore Calif.; and Sam Shaw, 2016 AHA president.

Huffhines honored for years of commitment to HerefordA highlight of the “Celebrate the Brand” event was the unveiling of an original Bruce Huxol portrait of Craig Huffhines, former American Hereford Association (AHA) executive vice president. The painting will hang permanently on the walls of the AHA office in honor of Craig’s 18 years of commitment and dedication to the Hereford breed.

Originally hired in 1992 as director of feedlot and carcass programs for the Certified Hereford

Beef (CHB®) program, he transitioned to CHB director in 1995.“I think all of us would agree there’s been no bigger cheerleader, driver or promoter

of the program than Craig,” says Jack Ward, AHA executive vice president. Craig was named AHA executive vice president in 1997, and under his leadership,

the AHA has incorporated the Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) program, developed the National Reference Sire Program and valuable real-world commercial research programs. He announced his resignation in February as he accepted the position of executive vice president of the American Quarter Horse Association with offices located in Amarillo, Texas.

“Because of his leadership the Hereford breed is experiencing the success it is today,” Jack says. “He’s been a true leader and friend.” HW

Wright Named Outstanding Woman of the YearDorothy Wright, Alvarado, Texas, was recognized as 2015 Hereford Woman of the Year during the National Hereford Women (NHW) annual meeting in Kansas City on Oct. 31.

Each year the NHW recognizes and honors one woman for her achievements and dedication to the Hereford breed.

Dorothy has been a supporter of Hereford activities and youth for more than 30 years. As an active member of the Texas Poll-ettes she has served in nearly every office, but she has always went above and beyond. She and her late husband, Lindy, served as advisors for the Texas Junior Polled Hereford Association (TJPHA) and after Lindy’s death she established an annual scholarship in his name.

The Wrights donated cattle and money to fundraisers over the years, but most often, they

used woodworking skills to craft a handmade auction item or award. Although they had no children of their own, supporting Hereford youth is a huge part of Dorothy’s life. She is an honorary lifetime advisor for the TJPHA and still does the bookkeeping for the organization.

Texas Polled Hereford Association (TPHA) Manager Robbie Morrish recommended Dorothy saying, “Dorothy is what all women in the Hereford breed should strive to emulate. Dorothy can always be relied upon anytime the (TPHA) needs something. She has never once turned down a request. Her character and devotion to not only the Hereford breed, but its future through our youth, is unsurpassed.”

Claudia Atlas of the Texas Poll-ettes says, “Dorothy’s dedication to Texas juniors knows

no bounds. Since everyone can remember she has sent each new member a greeting packet with information welcoming him or her to the organization. Her philanthropy and volunteer service has changed the lives of countless youth across the state of Texas.” HW

White BootsKatie Nolles, 2014-15 National Hereford Queen, reflects on a year representing the Hereford breed.

When I was a little girl, I can remember being fascinated by the girls who wore crowns, dresses and white boots. When I started showing cattle at the age of 11, I set a goal to someday wear white boots. Little did I know, after being crowned National Hereford Queen last year, just how far my white boots would take me.

I am Katie Nolles, a fifth-generation Hereford breeder on both sides of my family. I am a freshman at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, majoring in agricultural education with minors in entrepreneurship/leadership and animal science. I have traveled the country attending shows and sales and representing the breed that I so deeply love. I have built strong relationships with Hereford breeders that I will cherish forever. I have connected with aspiring young leaders in our breed. I have grown.

This year has been a dream-come-true. My parents and I have experienced more than we ever thought we would. As I reflect on my year, I find that it is not the sights seen or awards presented but, rather, the people who made it so memorable.

When I was crowned, I was completely overwhelmed. My life changed in an instant; suddenly, I was in the spotlight. I can remember thinking that I wanted to make a difference and a change in the queen program, but I wasn’t sure what to do. As my reign progressed, I found myself reflecting on my childhood and time as Nebraska Hereford Queen.

A scenario in which I have often found myself is telling a girl that she should run for state queen and her telling me that she is not “girly enough” or that she likes being in the barn too much. I have watched outstanding representatives of our breed miss out on all that the National Hereford

Queen program has to offer. I, too, love being in the barn. My goal this year was to be as transparent as possible. I tried to carry out normal activities as much as possible — I did chores on a daily basis at shows, leaving a few minutes early to get

dressed and get to the showring. People would joke with me about the

constant smile that queens have. I made a conscious effort to make that smile as real as possible. Becoming National Hereford Queen was the first goal that I set as a child, and when I was crowned last year, I wanted to make every moment count. It has truly been a joy to serve the breed that made me who I am today. I will never forget standing on stage in Reno when the curtain rose and the auctioneer song played, a sweet little boy asking me to come to his birthday party, being part of the rich history of Denver or hosting junior nationals in my home state. This has been one of the greatest blessings of my life.

While the showring is where I gained my confidence as a child, I have always been reminded that our breed exists outside the ring as well. I enjoyed traveling to production sales just as much as shows and learning what commercial cattlemen appreciated about Herefords. Promoting beef was a fun and easy way to share my story, whether it was with a stranger on a plane or a group of students who approached me for autographs.

I am a firm believer in the saying, “it takes a village.” Bailey Clanton,

Amy Cowan, Angie Denton, Joe Rickabaugh, field staff and National Junior Hereford Association board members, thank you for making sure that I had what I needed and keeping me smiling. Everybody back home or in the stalls who fed cattle, helped fit and offered words of encouragement and hugs made this journey worthwhile. My purpose was to serve you, and I am blessed to be a part of the Hereford family. My state FFA officer team was beyond understanding and allowed me to balance both roles.

My parents made this journey possible. Thank you for sacrificing time and sleep to drive me across the country, believing in me, bringing me food and growing my faith. I love you, and I aspire to be like you both. I am forever grateful that I was born into the Hereford breed.

I am going to miss this. There were moments this year where I thought that I had reached my breaking point. Just when I thought that I had hit a point where I could bend no farther, God brought someone in to make me smile. I have made an effort to truly be present in everything that I do and have often thought of how I do not want to look back on this year with any regrets. It has been a joyful honor serving as National Hereford Queen.

Thank you,Katie Nolles2014-15 National Hereford Queen



A Royal Dream Come TrueTaylor Belle Matheny’s dream to one day become National Hereford Queen came true as she was crowned during the American Royal.

by Julie White

Hard work, responsibility and dedication are what Taylor Belle

Matheny, Mays Lick, Ky., learned from her parents as she spent her youth working with them raising and showing Hereford cattle. These very attributes, she says, are what helped her achieve a goal she set for herself years ago, to be named National Hereford Queen.

A fifth-generation Hereford breeder, Taylor Belle will spend the next year in her newest role as the symbol of the Hereford breed, agriculture advocate and a role model for young women.

“At an early age I had aspirations to serve the Hereford breed in this capacity,” Taylor Belle says. “This dream began as a little girl watching the National Hereford Queen talk to breeders, speak on behalf of the breed and attend shows and sales representing the breeders and cattle. I’m excited to follow in the footsteps of the past young women that have had this opportunity.”

Taylor Belle competed against seven other young women from across the U.S. for the title. The National Hereford

Queen Program is managed by the National Hereford Women. Queen candidates are evaluated on their involvement with and knowledge of the Hereford breed, behavior, attitude, appearance and interaction with producers, as well as their résumés and interviews. Judges look for a responsible, well-rounded young lady who is willing to spend an entire year traveling all over the country to represent the Hereford breed to her best ability.

First runner-up honors went to Jena McCall, Emory, Texas; Brianne Nelsen, Fredonia, Kan., was named second runner-up; and Stephanie Golightly, Bellville, Texas, was selected Miss Congeniality.

A Hereford familyTaylor Belle is the 18-year-old daughter of Andrew and Suzanne Matheny. She has one older brother, Austin, and her grandparents are the late Charlie and Martha Boyd, Mays Lick, Ky., and John and Jean Matheny, Georgetown, Ky. Her family has been raising Hereford cattle for more than 100 years. Since the age of 7, Taylor Belle has participated in Junior National Hereford Expos (JNHEs), showing cattle and competing in numerous contests, which she says have helped her develop public speaking skills and allowed her to network with other young Hereford breeders.

“I grew up working alongside my family taking care of day-to-day operations — feeding and calving cows and working on show heifers,” she says. “We became a close family through the Hereford breed.”

One of her favorite memories is from the 2015 JNHE in Grand Island, Neb. “We had reserve champion cow-calf pair and after that I went on to show the reserve division one bull,” she says. “We did that together as a family and it’s something we took pride in. The four of

Hereford royalty honored during the 2015 American Royal (l to r) are: Katie Nolles, Bassett, Neb., 2015 National Hereford Queen; Taylor Belle Matheny, Mays Lick, Ky., 2016 National Hereford Queen; Jena McCall, Emory, Texas, first runner up; Brianne Nelsen, Fredonia, Kan., second runner-up; and Stephanie Golightly, Bellville, Texas, Miss Congeniality.


us worked hard and we accomplished it. We had fun that week.”

It was because of her family, namely her mother, that Taylor Belle was first interested in the role of National Hereford Queen.

“I think I first decided I wanted to be National Hereford Queen when looking at pictures and listening to stories my mom told from her experiences as the 1988 National Polled Hereford Queen,” she says. “And then, traveling to JNHEs and seeing the girl in all white wearing the sash and crown, I think that’s when I decided I wanted to pursue this opportunity. The national queen is such a symbol for the Hereford breed and not only a role model for young women, she is also knowledgeable about the breed. That’s something I wanted to continue.”

In preparation for competing for National Hereford Queen, Taylor Belle credits her parents as role models who taught her valuable lessons and shaped her character.

“My mom helped me get speeches ready and for our grill-off team she helped us organize,” Taylor Belle says. “My dad was the one who inspired us to work hard on the farm and to achieve those goals. They taught my brother and I to have faith in God. We have a strong, successful family and that’s something they taught my brother and I, to put faith and family first and everything else will follow.”

She adds, “My parents teaching me hard work, responsibility and dedication has helped me become National Hereford Queen. Anything I committed myself to, they always said I had to finish. That’s something I’ve always done and it has helped me achieve many things I didn’t think I could.”

A Hereford ambassadorTaylor Belle looks forward to the upcoming year representing the breed that has given much to her.

“To me, being National Hereford Queen is not only to be a role model and symbol for the young girls, but to be someone producers can come and ask questions too,” she says. “This will also be a great opportunity to spread the word about the beef industry. I will continue to be knowledgeable and

up to date about the Hereford breed and be able to answer any questions from younger generations, breeders and consumers.”

Taylor Belle says the Hereford breed has much to offer commercial cattlemen including their docility and maternal ability, as well as their efficiency. “Marketing this to commercial breeders is really important, so they know with a white face comes advantages that will make them the most money in the end.”

One of her main goals for the year as National Hereford Queen will be to organize a service project at the 2016 JNHE in Madison, Wis., that supports local children fighting cancer.

Her grandfather Charlie passed away from cancer. “I had never had a first-hand experience with cancer before and now that I’ve been through it and know a little more about it, I want to take that to Madison next year and find a way for the junior members to get involved,” Taylor Belle says. “I plan to visit hospitals, donate toys and make bags to take to kids who are fighting cancer, so that they can have a brighter day. While we’re there we’ll be teaching families a little bit about the beef industry as well.”

Taylor Belle offers this advice to others seeking her role someday. “I would tell young women to develop a passion for the breed and to interact with as many Hereford breeders as they can because they are the backbone of our breed,” she says. “Be willing to meet new people, make connections with junior and senior members, get involved in your community and take

opportunities to expand leadership skills to become a well-rounded person.”

Looking forwardCurrently, Taylor Belle is a freshman at Kansas State University majoring in agricultural communications and animal science. She intends to stay involved in the Hereford industry, possibly becoming a breed association youth director in the future. She is passionate about the role youth directors have in organizing avenues for youth to learn leadership and communications skills in and out of the showring.

But for now, as National Hereford Queen, she is most looking forward to attending all Hereford national shows and networking with breeders from across the U.S. “I’m excited to see breeders at shows and to make new connections,” she says. “I hope to learn even more about the breed from producers who have been in it for a long time and to form relationships that will last a lifetime.” HW

POLLED HEREFORDS


The Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) program faced many challenges but is ultimately a huge success for the breed.

by Sara Gugelmeyer

Times were tough for everyone but especially for the Hereford breed.

“It was the early ’90s, and the market was tough,” says Craig Huffhines, former executive vice president of the American Hereford Association (AHA). Back then, though, he was just a fresh-faced college student looking for a master’s degree project.

He would find it, along with his career, in the Hereford breed. And though it hit some bumps, the Hereford beef program would help the breed find success again, as well.

“The AHA and the American Polled Hereford Association were separate, but both were going through very difficult times back then,” Huffhines explains. “The Angus breed was booming. Certified Angus Beef had gotten off the ground, so there was renewed popularity for Angus cattle, and the continental breeds were really going strong. All the Hereford cows in the country were getting crossed up (with another breed) and the bull market share was declining rapidly. Hereford was on a nearly 20-year decline and in a severe economic crunch.”

Game-changing ideaHowever, then executive vice president of AHA, Hop Dickenson, wasn’t giving up.

“He and the AHA board decided they needed to determine what they could do from a selection standpoint, i.e. genetics, management, cattle feeding, carcass specifications, to come up with a product to compete and perhaps reduce the discounting of Hereford cattle going on,” Huffhines says.

Gary Smith, Ph.D., of Colorado State University, was the world-renowned guru of beef palatability research, Huffhines says. “He came across some old data that suggested that even though Hereford cattle didn’t grade on the rail very well, and in fact, couldn’t at the time compete with Angus in quality grade, they had an inherent ability to produce a very tender product.”

Smith and Dickenson had an idea. Hereford cattle may not grade, but they still tasted really good. They were hoping that perhaps the quality grade system did not adequately predict the eating characteristics of Hereford beef.

Enter a young Craig Huffhines, hungry for a career-making research project.


“They decided to fund a project, that I would manage, and bring in cattle from all over the country,” Huffhines says. “We would look at economically relevant factors that impacted performance and profitability for Hereford cattle on feed, like time on feed, average daily gain, cost of gain, and slaughter endpoint and its impact on both quality and yield grade. Then we would cut rib samples out of these carcasses and sensory evaluate them, then compare that to the entire representative base of the U.S. Choice and Select graded beef population.”

From 1990 through 1992, Huffhines and his team pulled samples of beef from each quality grade and compared them to Hereford product.

“We looked at Hereford at different time-on-feed levels, fat thickness and many more specs to find that sweet spot where Hereford product had enhanced acceptability ratings with consumers,” Huffhines says.

That accumulation of data became the genesis of the Certified Hereford Beef program.

Making it happenExcited about this new endeavor, the AHA hired Huffhines as the feedlot carcass director.

“(Hop) and the AHA Board asked me to develop this program,” Huffhines says. “I took the specs, went to Washington D.C., and sat down with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Ag Market Service folks and we codified those live animal and carcass specs into a USDA Certified Specified Standard. We developed those standards to take back to the packing plant where the local graders would stamp and certify the carcasses that met the mark.”

Even though Dickenson, Huffhines and the AHA Board were now armed with a grand way to catapult the Hereford breed back into demand, the hardest part was yet to come.

“It was really frustrating in the early days,” Huffhines says. “We had all this cool data that suggested consumers would love our product. And there weren’t a whole lot of other brands at the time. We went out there trying to get packers interested, but they weren’t. They just wouldn’t bite.”

It seemed like all was for naught until Gordon Reisinger got involved. Reisinger, who was from Red Oak, Iowa, bought and traded cattle. He owned a company with a group of investors called Mid-Ag. They agreed to put up the funds for exclusive rights to CHB.

“So we started custom killing cattle in 1995 in an old Excel packing plant in Sterling, Colo.,” Huffhines says.

The brand was launched at about the same time with two customers: Furr’s Supermarkets, based in Albuquerque, N.M., and Veladi Ranch Steak House, San Antonio, Texas.

The deal at Sterling didn’t last long, and Mid-Ag took its CHB harvest to a Monfort plant in Des Moines, Iowa.

“Our first (day of slaughter) at the big Monfort plant was on a Saturday in Des Moines,” Huffhines reminisces. “We had 2,200 cattle in the pens, and nearly all were straight Hereford. It was a beautiful sight.”

Challenges keep comingBut that, too, didn’t last long.

“One dramatic Friday afternoon a year into processing at Monfort, we got a call from the Monfort plant manager,” Huffhines says. “They told us they were closing the plant Monday. We had about 2,000 head scheduled to come in that week. All of this was custom processing where we paid (Monfort) so much a head to process the cattle and we owned the meat. We were in trouble. The cattle were committed and already paid for.

“Reisinger was able to negotiate a processing deal with Nebraska Beef in Omaha, but it was a costly move,” Huffhines says.

That was just one of many, many challenges the Certified Hereford Beef team faced in the early years. Selling the product was another issue.

In 1997 Mid-Ag, in efforts to stay solvent, went public. The company was now called Red Oak Farms, Inc., and had raised a lot of funds, much of it from Hereford breeders buying shares and hoping to keep the program alive.



Enter Bret Hultman, salesman for Red Oak Farms. “When I first got involved with Certified Hereford,

they had Furr’s and Finast Supermarkets (based in Cleveland, Ohio,), but I think they were losing one or both. We basically didn’t have anything left.”

Desperate to get some beef sold, Hultman started making cold calls.

“I just locked myself in a room one day with the supermarket guide and started dialing. That’s what I did. For every six or seven no’s, there’d be one that would say, ‘I want to talk; I am interested.’

“I was targeting family-owned retailers in the Midwest. The biggest challenge of the program was it wasn’t a Choice program — it’s a blended program of Choice and Select. The one thing that worked was explaining to the customer the Hereford breed. And that it’s a pure breed in terms of ensuring eating quality for the consumer and you didn’t have to have all that marbling that Choice delivers. It would be in the product.

“It was tough at first, but then started getting good. We picked up these little accounts, one by one,” Hultman says.

Raised in the Hereford business, Nick Rausch was hired right out of college to help the sales team.

“(Nick) pulled a grill around behind the pickup and grilled product all day long for retail stores to sell the product and promote it,” Hultman explains. “That’s how we gained a very loyal customer base.”

Rausch says, “In the beginning, there was a lot of instability. That meant not having a steady supply of product. Customers will forgive you for a lot of things but not for being shorted on product. There were certain circumstances in the very early days, due to instability early on in the program, when (the team) did everything they could to keep it together. And they persevered. They had a vision; and they didn’t give up.”

CHB was making progress. Sales were up, but Red Oak was still struggling.

“Unfortunately the business model and economics were so tight that Red Oak never could

get it to a profitable level,” Huffhines explains. “They burned through a lot of money and they just couldn’t turn into the black. A lot of the investors were underwriting it trying to keep it afloat. We were shorting product to people, and having a hard time getting cattle paid for in a timely manner. So in 1999, we had a big Board meeting.”

By this time, Huffhines had been promoted to executive vice president after Dickenson retired in 1997.

“We had to make a decision,” Huffhines says. “So we pulled the exclusivity from Red Oak and licensed Greater Omaha to sell Certified Hereford Beef.”

Despite that decision, all agree that Gordon Reisinger of Red Oak Farms played an integral role in the success of CHB.

“If it weren’t for Gordon and his tenacity we would have never got it to the size to earn the credibility that the packers needed to take it on,” Huffhines says. “It was an amazingly difficult challenge.”

Hultman says, “Certified Hereford Beef, in my opinion, owes a tremendous amount of debt to Gordon Reisinger. Without him, there would be no Certified Hereford. He’s the one that went and found the money, and somehow kept getting the money there to buy the cattle when the program was struggling. Between his money and some investors’ money, that’s what kept it going and bought some time to get new customers and build the program.

“We finally had enough business with Red Oak Farms that (the CHB program) outgrew the company. We needed to move on to a bigger packer. That’s where Greater Omaha came in. But we had to take small baby steps and fight the battles to keep it going, so that a packer like Greater Omaha was willing,” Hultman says.

In 2000 CHB LLC was formed as a subsidiary of AHA to manage the program. Rob Ames was promoted from an account manager to CHB LLC executive vice president. Ames would stay with the company for about ten years, seeing the program through ups and downs.

“Rob made sure the budgets were always on target, customers were taken care of to the best of the program’s ability and stretched every dollar,” Rausch says. “Back in those days, there were very

...CHB – The Early Years continued from page 59


few budgets that weren’t right on target. That’s a big deal, because customers will ask for everything they can possibly get from you. And keeping them happy, making them feel like they got a ‘win’ is important. Rob did a good job taking care of the brand through marketing and stewardship.”

Difference madeCHB LLC had some rough years ahead, but with a licensed packer, it was nothing like the first few, which Huffhines describes as very bumpy.

“Those early days from 1995 to 2000 were incredibly challenging, long days,” Huffhines says. “We’d get up and process cattle at 4 in the morning, and be on an airplane that afternoon for a meeting with a potential client. We were doing food shows all over the world trying to introduce it. Nobody really knew who we were.”

Everyone’s hard work paid off. In 2015 CHB LLC identified nearly 400,000 head of cattle for the program.

“We always had the goal of making a million head a year,” Huffhines says. “We didn’t get it that big, but I think it’s served its purpose, and I’m confident it will eventually get there.”

The program’s purpose was to turn around the feeder market for Hereford cattle. Although CHB can’t take all the credit, things are vastly different in the marketplace for Hereford genetics now.

Huffhines says the CHB program changed the trajectory of the Hereford breed in three ways:

“Number one — it refocused the membership on performance and the commercial value of their product — how well they fed, how well they hung on the rail, how well they performed.

“Second, it allowed our organization to develop relationships with cattle buyers and cattle feeders. For so long, we were the stepchild of the marketplace. The program helped us develop these relationships with feeders, who then fed these cattle together and realized rather than mixing them with a bunch of crossbreds and continental European breeds, they’re better kept together, because they finish so much earlier. Feeders then realized feeding Herefords with all those other cattle is mismanaging them. When managed right, they’re really good. They just finish at an earlier endpoint. This stimulated a premium for the cattle, or at least eliminated the discounting.

“And third, it allowed us to promote the name Hereford, whether it was in the food industry or trade publications. We were doing something. We were promoting a brand — the Hereford breed. Then we were no longer thought of as an old-fashioned has-been of a breed that was getting ready to be invited into the Smithsonian. We were thought of as the innovative organization we were.

“It was taking control of our own destiny, that’s what I am most proud of,” Huffhines says. “As tough as it was, I am so proud we stayed the course.” HW

CHB in 2015During its first 20 years, the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) brand has marketed 641 million lb. of product, affecting the marketing of 3.4 million head of Hereford-influenced cattle. The program continues to expand its market share and to meet the needs of its customers.

In fiscal year (FY) 2015, 51.2 million lb. of product was sold, which is a 2% increase compared to the previous year’s total. Since 2008 CHB LLC has increased beef sales by 46%.

Foodservice continues to provide the most growth opportunity for CHB LLC as the program aims to keep current with consumer needs. The foodservice division experienced a 2 million lb. growth during FY 2015. Currently, more than 46 foodservice distribution centers and 350 retail supermarkets in 36 states offer the CHB brand.

As the demand for CHB continues to grow, the supply of high-quality cattle must also continue to increase. CHB LLC staff, along with packing partners, are continually working to increase not only supply but also carcass utilization.

CHB LLC staff are working to ensure a supply of high-quality cattle and they continue to find ways to utilize as much of each carcass as possible. This past year a total of 336,147 cattle were identified through CHB-licensed packing facilities as eligible from a live specification standpoint, while more than 235,650 carcasses were certified for the program — a certification rate of 70%.

Herefords Make Way to Mile-High CityPlan now to attend Hereford activities during the 2016 National Western Stock Show in Denver Jan. 14-16.

Hereford exhibitors, breeders and enthusiasts will head to Denver

Jan. 14-16 for the National Western Stock Show (NWSS).

Hereford events in Denver will begin with the National Hereford Bull Show in the Stadium Arena on the Hill at 8 a.m., Thursday, Jan. 14, followed by the junior heifer show at noon.

Friday’s highlights begin in the Yards with the pen and carload show at 8 a.m. The Mile High Night National Hereford

Sale on Friday evening promises to be another great event, featuring 45-50 lots from consignors across the U.S.

“This event has grown into an exhibition among all breeds at the NWSS,” says Joe Rickabaugh, AHA director of field management and seedstock marketing. “A great deal of this event’s success stems from the foundation established by Eddie and Ruth Sims, National Cattle Services Inc., Elgin, Okla., since 2003. The late

Stanley Stout assisted with this sale from 2003 to 2006. A big thanks goes to all the volunteers who turn the Denver stadium floor into a sale spectacle on Friday afternoon.”

Kicking off the Mile High Night National Hereford Sale that evening will be Lot 1, KJ BJ DWE 686Z Salsa 364C ET, a female donated by the Jensen Family of Courtland, Kan., and Dylan Evans, Lebo, Kan. All proceeds will go to the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) “Growing a Lasting Legacy” campaign to ensure the sustainability of future Junior National Hereford Expos (JNHE) and leadership events for generations to come.

“A big thank you goes to Dylan Evans and Kevin, Sheila, Brady, Brooke and Ben Jensen for donating this phenomenal heifer calf to highlight the Mile High Night Sale,” says Amy Cowan, American Hereford Association director of youth and foundation.

Salsa (registration no. 43585785) is a March 29, 2015, daughter of CRR 719 Catapult 109 and is out of KJ 968R Zsa Zsa 686Z ET by MSU TCF Revolution 4R.

“As a donation lot we wanted to choose one of our best,” says Brady, who retired in July as the National Junior Hereford Association chairman.

“Salsa’s blend of unmatched EPDs and outstanding phenotype along with her added power, balance and style will allow her to make an elite impact on any operation. It is hard to see Salsa go as we consider her an ‘ideal’ female for our program.”

Salsa’s dam, Zsa Zsa, is a lead donor in the Jensen program. She was division champion at the 2013 JNHE, division champion at the 2014 NWSS and reserve division champion at the 2013 NWSS. Zsa Zsa is a full sib to KJ 968R Polled Solution 668ZET who sired the high-selling, $56,000 female in Jensen’s inaugural online female sale.

Hereford events conclude Saturday morning, Jan. 16, with the National Hereford Female Show in the Stadium Arena on the Hill at 8 a.m.

Judging the National Hereford Show on the Hill will be Tyler Cates, Modoc, Ind., along with associate judge Brian Cates, Modoc, Ind. Pen and carload show judges are Ronny Morgan, Burwell, Neb.; Ryan Rathman, Stanton, Texas; and Travis Pembrook, Fairview, Okla. Evaluating the junior show is Josh Taylor, Skiatook, Okla.

For those unable to attend the NWSS, you can find Hereford show results online at Hereford.org. HW

Home of the North Stars!


Walk into my dad’s farm office, and you’ll see it: my family’s passion for the cattle industry.

The walls are lined with photos of champions through the years. Boxes are filled with old Couch Brothers Polled Herefords sale catalogs from the 1960s and photos of Herefords being sold in the barn that stands on the Couch family farm.

My earliest memories with my dad involved venturing to that southern Indiana barn to see the latest calf born, watching dad on the mic as a judge or witnessing him at the halter at cattle shows from coast to coast.

And eventually, working side-by-side with him and my brother at our family farm, rinsing and working hair on the year’s show prospects.

Sometimes, I brought home the purple ribbon. Sometimes not. But getting that hug and “good job” from my dad as I exited the ring was the ultimate reward in my young mind.

I have always been known as “Bill Couch’s daughter.” And I’m good with that.

Dad’s passion for the cattle industry took us to ranches in Texas and to Yukon, Okla., and eventually back to our southern Indiana home.

Due to health issues, Dad has slowed down a bit. It happens to us all.

But Dad instilled a passion for the cattle industry within my brother and me. And I knew I wanted to stay involved.

I was blessed to marry a Midwestern farm boy more than a decade ago. Craig and I began our life together near his family farm in east central Illinois, where he works in the farm equipment business and we have raised a few head of cattle through the years.

It has always been a dream of ours to raise children in that way of life, too. And now, that dream is unfolding before our eyes.

Our home is now filled with the sounds (and often chaos) of three little ones — Waylon, 10; Nolan, 7;

and Caroline, 4. And nearly four years ago, we joined the ranks of “show parents,” as Waylon became a member of the National Junior Hereford Association.

Just recently, our resident cowboy, Nolan, purchased his first Hereford heifer, “Happy Go Lucky.” To say he’s excited to enter the showring at many shows, including the 2016 Junior National Hereford Expo in Madison, Wis., would be the understatement of the century.

Oh, the lessons Craig and I have learned as show parents. And, oh, how different it is to be on the outside of the ring, watching your child at the halter. I don’t believe I’ve ever felt more stress or more pride all wrapped up into a little bundle.

It. Is. Incredible. Through this column, I look

forward to sharing our journey in this chapter of our lives.

I’m sure there will be smiles. Maybe a few tears. And advice from more seasoned show parents on how to make this crazy lifestyle work.

Ultimately, Craig and I just hope our children can look back on these years with the same fondness we have of being a cattle kid, too. Perhaps carry the tradition into the next generation.

And really, isn’t that all any show parent desires? HW

HEREFORD MOM DIARIES

Standing Outside the Ringby Christy Couch Lee

Our two boys, Waylon (above) and Nolan (right), are enjoying their starts in the Hereford show world. Waylon is entering his fourth year of the National Junior Hereford Association. And Nolan was quick to let everyone know at last year’s Junior National Hereford Expo that was his last time to show as a pre-peewee. In 2016 he’s a real peewee. And that’s big stuff.

I’ve always been known as Bill Couch’s daughter. And I’m great with that. It’s also pretty incredible to play the role of show parent with my husband now, too.

Herefords have played a role in my family for generations, and I’m sure my grandpa would have loved to see his great-grandkids in the ring with a Hereford on the halter, too.

Seven StrategiesA marketing specialist shares seven steps for risk management.

by Kindra Gordon

The market is going to do what it’s going to do. From a risk standpoint, we want to take what the market will give us.” That’s the advice

Tom Clark asks cattle producers to consider as they devise a marketing and risk management plan. Clark is director of agricultural products for the Chicago-based CME Group, the world’s largest and most diverse derivatives exchange.

Clark also likes to point out, “If you raise cattle, technically you are in the market, and you have a lot of risk.”

Additionally, he notes that across the livestock sector, the industry has never seen these types of prices before. But along with unprecedented prices,

the market has also never seen such dramatic changes in factors affecting prices — the seasonal, cyclical, weather and cost aspects.

“Producers must look at all elements; just looking at one slice is not adequate anymore,” Clark says. “Products all have different volatility, and volatility is not going away.”

That said, he emphasizes volatility in the market is not necessarily bad — rather, it gives an idea of how active the market is. He explains, “I hear some people say, ‘We’d use futures if the market wasn’t so volatile,’ But if volatility goes away or is flat, I associate that with a flat line heartbeat, or death. You have to have some activity.”

“


Review results to determine what works best for your operation.

Execute when target prices are hit.

Evaluate pricing alternatives such as cash sales, forward contracts, futures/options hedging or over-the-counter (OTC) markets.

Set target prices.

Determine your breakeven levels.

Know your cost of production.

Utilize sound market information.

Devise a planWith regard to marketing, Clark says human nature and emotions often affect our decision making. As an example, he says, “Naturally, we tend to think-hope-wish that the market has to go higher.”

But Clark emphasizes, “The market doesn’t have to do anything. The words think-hope-wish are from a speculative standpoint. That approach means you are taking on more risk than you are mitigating.”

Clark has coined a term for this: hedulating — a combination of hedging and speculating. But he advises, “Don’t be a hedgling. You have to manage what you own. Do today what you need to do in the future.”

Clark says this is why it is important to remember the definition of risk management, which is a structured approach to managing uncertainty. He reiterates, “Remember it’s a structured approach.”

In a nutshell, he says risk management means looking at the big picture, evaluating your overall business for financial risk, determining where you are vulnerable and then employing a plan to mitigate risk. To do so, he suggests following these steps:

1) Know your cost of production. “If you don’t know the cost of your production, how do you know what is a good price?” Clark asks. He points out that cost of production changes regularly. “There are a lot of moving parts,” he says and adds, “The more you have this down, the better.”

2) Determine your breakeven levels.

3) Utilize sound market information. Of this, Clark says, “There’s always a lot of news and noise. The point is you need to know what is noise and what is good information. Try to get value out of the information you listen to.”

4) Set target prices.

5) Evaluate pricing alternatives such as cash sales, forward contracts, futures/options hedging or over-the-counter (OTC) markets. And, of these, know your costs, the contract specification, basis, hedging costs, commission and interest, Clark advises.

6) Execute when target prices are hit.

7) Review results to determine what works best for your operation.

Clark says, “Having these things helps you gauge and take what the market will give you. Taking a little bit of money is better than no money.”

Regarding target prices, he emphasizes, “We have a tendency to try to get more than we want or need. For instance, the target we’ve set is $1.60 but the market gets there and you change the plan. When you set a price and set a target and six months ago there was profit in the trade, don’t forget that; stick to it.”

He adds, “If you change the plan, you are not hedging anymore; you’re speculating. Remember, when it hits the target level you set, you’ve got to pull the trigger.”

As a final piece of advice, Clark notes the importance of reviewing the results and the marketing plan and changing it over time. He concludes, “Coming from the CME Group, I believe futures and options are incredible tools to mitigate risk, but that said, you need to have a mix of pricing tools and at various times, depending on what’s going on in the market, you will use certain tools more than others. HW

Additional risk management mantrasTom Clark with the CME Group offers these additional guidelines for risk management:• Every sector within an industry has inherent risk. Your choice is to

accept it or mitigate it.

• Potential strategies to manage market uncertainty include: transferring the risk to another party, avoiding the risk, reducing the negative effect of the risk and accepting some or all of the consequences of a particular risk.

• Volatility will always exist in the market.

• Take a holistic view to risk management. In addition to the products you market, consider hedging inputs that you use — feed, energy, transportation.

• Utilize a mix of pricing tools at various times.

• Build a risk management team that includes your broker and lender, so everyone is on the same page.

• A marketing plan will — and should — change over time, but it’s not a good idea to change the plan at the time you are buying or selling. HW


In passingMartha Watson

Griffin, 80, Muskogee, Okla., passed away Oct. 20.

Martha attended the University of Oklahoma, where she majored in sociology and history. She married John T. Griffin, and they enjoyed a happy and active marriage, including travel for business and exploring the world with friends until his death in 1985.

Soon after, Martha became chairwoman of the board of the Griffin Companies, which included Griffin Food Company in Muskogee and KWTV-9 in Oklahoma City.

She was an integral part of civic and business communities throughout Oklahoma, and for her dedication and leadership, Martha was recognized with the Pioneer Woman’s Award, a Governor’s Proclamation Award, the Women Who Make a Difference Award from the International Women’s Forum and the Director’s Choice Award from the National Women’s Economic Alliance.

In 1992 Martha received one of the highest honors in the state when she was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.

She continued to be actively involved in her family’s Hereford ranch, The Watson Ranch, in Morris, Okla.

She is survived by sons John and David Griffin and six grandchildren.

Connie Faye Adcox, 54, McClouth, Kan., passed away Oct. 22.

She worked for K-Mart Corporation for 36 years while owning and operating Adcox Family Farms - Polled Herefords and was a lifetime member of the American Hereford Association.

Connie was also a supporter of the local 4-H and FFA programs.

Connie’s unconditional love, passion and dedication to her farm and family were endless. Her nieces and nephews were also raised with the same values working with and showing the Hereford breed.

She is survived by a brother, John Adcox; sister, Donna Bradley; nephews Johnny Adcox, Jr, Chad Bradley, Nicholas Lassen, Christopher Adcox and Brandon Adcox; nieces, Sheldon Riley, Alecia Millsap, Christie Adcox, Katherine Swank and Jenna Proctor.

James O’Neill Hinton, 67, Trezevant, Tenn., passed away Oct. 24.

James was a U.S. Marine and a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Trezevant. Throughout his career, he worked in livestock advertising, promotion, consulting and sales management.

He served as secretary/ treasurer of the Tennessee Agribition for more than 20 years. He received the Distinguished Service Award to the Livestock Industry from the University of Tennessee, and at the time of his death, he was operating Hinton Sales and Service and was employed by 4 L Hereford Farms.

In the newsDenver voters approve 2CDenver voters approved Measure 2C, which will invest in Denver’s tourism industry by improving the Colorado Convention Center and creating the new National Western Center, a year-round experiential education, research, commerce and entertainment campus that will be the permanent home for the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) held each January.

With voter approval of Measure 2C per House Bill 1344, Colorado State

University (CSU) will have access to $250 million in state funding to accelerate and build CSU education and research facilities and expand the university’s programming to the National Western Center. Allocation of state funding was contingent on the passage of 2C.

Passage of 2C will create access to 80 acres of parkland and open space, restore a mile of the South Platte riverfront, make improvements to the historic communities of Globeville, Elyria and Swansea, and sustain two cornerstones of Denver tourism — the NWSS and the Colorado Convention Center — without raising taxes. The passage of the ballot measure will keep in place an existing 1.75% tax on hotel rooms and car rentals. HW
