President’s Messagefrom Steve Merry, 2011 WHA President
What a great time to be in the Herefordbusiness! Sales are up, interest is high, andthose new babies with white faces look sogood. Plus we have a LOT COMING UP foryou.The WHA Sale WAS A RESOUNDING
SUCCESS. The sale average was up by $350over last year to $2,213. Buyer interest was strong with many new buyers and strongbidding even to the end of the sale. The last bull sold was tied as highest selling bull!"The last shall be first" to quote an eternal source. Thank you Michael Boettcher andKermit Rhiner and the sale comittee for their hard work. We will be seeking furtherconsignor input at an open meeting August 14 at the State Fair.The MIDWEST REGIONAL HEREFORD SHOW is coming to Monroe June 24-
26. This is a "mini" Jr National with speech, quiz bowls, showmanship and fittingcontests, in addition to the the shows. If you have never shown at a Jr National, Iencourage you to go to Monroe. These are memorable family experiences. Also theJr. National is relatively close this year in Kansas City July 9-16. Contact BJ Jonesfor possible rides for your cattle. These were some of the best times for our youngfamily growing up. Get involved!Don't forget the Ultimate Steer Show June 4-5 in Jefferson. At least $50 and as
much as $500 is available for all that come!!The WHA TOUR will be in the southesst district this year. The details are in this
issue of the Review (see page 12). We have a learning experience, good food and arelaxing time planned. I always enjoy visiting other breeders farm and talkingHerefords.The WHA web page – www.wisconsinherefords.com – is available for everyone to
submit information. This is the breeders’ website, so if you have content you wantposted send it to either Jenny Brown at BrownNurseryFarm@gmail.com or SondraBrancel at SondraBrancel@badgerlandfinancial.com.The famous hockey player Wayne Gretzke once said "Don't skate to where the
puck is but skate to where it is going to be.” As I see it the way of advertising andsales in the future is increasingly going to be electronicso we should be headed there.I would like to thank the out going Board members Bob Baker, Kermit Rhiner, and
Blaise Denault for their service and out going president Sondra Brancel for herleadership and energy!

2011 Hall of Fame HonoreesJim and Mary Ann MillerJim and Mary Ann Miller of Mari-mill Farm Herefords, Rio, had
no idea of what they had in store in 1974 when they purchased sevenregistered Polled Hereford cows with calves at side. Jim was a paintspecialist for Cenex and on the road during the week. Mary Ann wasresponsible for the kids and the cows. They lived near Johnson Creekso when Gary Reinke found out they had Herefords, he put them intouch with Darrell Shultis and the Wisconsin Polled HerefordAssociation. They were exposed to all of the activities of the WPHAwhich continued after their move to their present farm near Rio.Both Jim and Mary Ann grew up with registered Holsteins, so they
had to learn a few different techniques when it came to raising beef.Jim had shown some steers at the Northeast Junior Livestock Show,and Mary Ann’s family had a couple of crossbred black baldy cows.The WPHA provided them with experiences in sales, shows, fairs,and junior activities. If someone had told Mary Ann that she wouldbe loading cattle, feed, and tack into a trailer as well as luggage andkids into a Suburban and driving to a Junior National Show, shewould have been skeptical. But, what an adventure to see fine cattle,fine youth, as well as cattle breeder families from across the nation!Josephine, Katherine, Sam, Maureen, and Mike all showed cattle.
Jo, Maureen, and granddaughter, Vicky, all worked as princesses andqueens for the WPHA. Jo, Maureen, and Mike all participated in theWJPHA in various capacities.Mary Ann served as president and secretary of the Pollettes, as
well as the chairman of the food stand and a member on the JuniorNational Committee at Milwaukee.
Jim hascontributed timeand effort forevents andprovided scalesand chutes forfair ID. He is atalented salesperson. He likesto help peopleimprove theirlivestock handlingsystems. With theirherd, he helps with the sales of animals. They have a competitivemarket for their feeder calves. Producers have commented on howwell the Miller Herefords perform in the feedlot.Jim and Mary Ann have had to slow down recently and reduce the
size of their herd. This fall they will be celebrating their 55thwedding anniversary. One thing the Millers have learned over theyears is there are a couple of things that bring tension to a marriage –one is hanging wallpaper and the other is herding cattle. Before theymove cattle, they have learned to be clear that they all understandwhat they are doing and who is doing what!Jim and Mary Ann appreciate the friendship that the Wisconsin
Hereford Association has given to them and they appreciate all theyhave learned from the Hereford industry.

Hereford LeadershipWhat an exciting time to be in the
cattle business! Producers arewitnessing record breaking prices. Itseems that all aspects of the cattleindustry are showing profitability, andthat is very unusual. Normally, if thecow/calf producers are making money,the feedlot operators are not, or viceversa. What does it mean to have $1.20fat cattle, $1.50 to $1.70 feeders, and$7.00 plus corn?Well, I do not know the answer to my
own question. It is all new territory orprice structure for all of us. Myconservative nature tells me that it will not last. Thus, make haywhile the sun is shining by selling. However, on the other hand,cow numbers in the United States are at a 53 year low. Foreigndemand for our great United States product of beef proteincontinues to climb steadily. Low supply and high demand equalshigher prices.Remember, that as our income rises so does our cost of
production. Fuel, feed, and land prices seem to rise faster thanbeef prices. Thus, it is still important to maximize efficiency inall aspects of production. That is why Hereford genetics are soimportant. No other breed of cattle can increase your efficienciesas well as Herefords. From reproductive efficiency to feedefficiency, Hereford cattle are proven to increase your bottomline of profit better than other breeds.Other Notes: • The deadline for 2011 Junior National entries in Kansas City,Mo. is June 1, 2011. No late entries are allowed, and entries afterMay 2, 2011 must be done online. • There is a new policy requiring DNA on all future walking herdsires. The policy states: The AHA will require all Hereford siresborn after January 1, 2011 to be DNA genotyped at the officialAHA DNA laboratory before their progeny can be registered.You can read more of this rule change on page 18 of the March2011 Hereford World or call me with any questions.
Remember to make your cattle better today, because you have tomarket them tomorrow!
