Did you know the world population will grow by 2 billion people in the next 40 years, hitting 9 billion by 2050, and we’ll need to produce 60% more food with less land, less water, less fertilizer and less pesticide? I’ll admit that I find it hard to comprehend the challenge ahead.

This summer I attended the Ag Media Summit, an annual industry-wide gathering of agricultural communicators. On the final day, our keynote speaker at lunch was Trent McKnight, a rancher from Texas and founder of the nonprofit AgriCorps. Focusing on agriculture in Africa, he addressed the food security challenges facing the world due to the projection of the largest population ever.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations State of Food Insecurity in the World report, in the Sub-Saharan Africa region alone, one in four people remains undernourished. However, McKnight shared with us that Africa has 60% of all the uncultivated land in the world. Africa is home to millions of young people looking for a better life — but most of these youth do not see agriculture as a promising future.

To address this challenge, his organization is focusing on youth as the solution by connecting American agriculture volunteers with developing countries

to provide school-based agricultural education.

He explained that Africa has potential to feed itself and beyond. So why are the members of this organization reaching out to the young people to make this happen? According to AgriCorps, 90% of the world’s youth ages 10 to 24 live in developing countries. Those young people are the early adopters of technology whether it is social media or a new ag advancement, and they can have an influence on their parents and families.

He reminded us that it wasn’t long ago in the United States’ past that we saw a similar movement which carried on through the present day. President Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act in 1862, establishing land grant institutions to teach agriculture and other vocational fields of study to average Americans, giving us the model of education, research and Extension.

Years later the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 nationalized 4-H, and in 1917 the Smith Hughes Act was passed and eventually paved the way for FFA. Through these programs, young people were educated on improved technologies for farming and, in turn, influenced the older generation, who then began seeking advice from their Extension agents.

There is great opportunity to support our youth, here and abroad.

Each year the September issue of the Hereford World is dedicated to young Hereford breeders. The 2015 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), hosted in Grand Island, Neb., was one of the best yet, setting records. More than 800 youth from 38 states attended JNHE for a week of competition, leadership and educational opportunities and to have a great time.

It’s events like this and the Faces of Leadership Conference, which was hosted in Estes Park, Colo., that are developing the next generation of cattlemen. And, the people who help make these events happen — Hereford families, AHA members and staff and sponsors — see the value in investing in their Hereford youth.

We hope you enjoy the 85 pages of editorial focused on Hereford youth. In the pages that follow, you will also learn about the McMahon family’s “Generations of Exhibitors,” and find management articles to help you prepare for this upcoming fall and winter.

But with all this said, I think the take-home message is clear, and it’s something agriculture communities across the United States have understood for a long time — time, money and energy invested in youth not only help them succeed but will set them up to lead and provide for future generations.

Youth Are the Solution


Generation “Y,” or more commonly referred to as “millennials,” is the group born from 1980 to the mid-2000s. They are the largest generation in the United States, representing nearly one-third of the population. I am a member of the “baby boomer” generation, my wife is part of the generation X group and our sons are part of this millennial group.

Millenials will see opportunities and challenges beyond our imagination, and before long, the future of our livelihoods will be placed squarely on their shoulders. The current members of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and many of the younger members of the American

Hereford Association (AHA) are part of this millennial group. So, let’s find out what they’re about.

Millennials are…

• Multitaskers Millennials are

multitasking pros and can juggle many responsibilities at once. This ability to multitask also means that they are easily distracted and find social media and texting hard to resist.

• Connected Millennials know

everything there is to know about social media because they are living it. They are constantly perusing Facebook,

Twitter, Instagram, etc. — it’s how they share and receive information.

• Tech-savvy There’s no doubt

that the majority of millennials are more tech-savvy than other generations.

Millennials want…

• Instant gratification and recognition

Millennials need to feel as if what they are doing is important and that they are on the right track.

• Collaboration Millennials are

extremely team-oriented and enjoy collaborating and building friendships with colleagues.

These traits certainly define the current group of energetic, exciting, well-informed youth that we all witnessed at the Junior National Hereford Expo. I am excited for them, and I think they are well-armed to face the opportunities and challenges headed their way.

The AHA Board and staff are committed to keep giving them the arena to build the skills and to provide them with the tools they will need to continue to be productive adults. Congratulations to all NJHA members, and keep up the good work. HW

The Board heard reports from all committees and looked at the initiatives derived by the Hereford Genetic Summit and the strategic plan to formulate a budget for fiscal year 2016.

After looking at projections for 2015 year end, the Directors acknowledged that the Association will have another year of adding to reserves and a profit after depreciation.

The Board then approved a surplus budget for fiscal 2016 of $29,633 after depreciation of $160,516. The AHA is projected to generate more than $6 million of revenue during the next year from its parent company and subsidiaries and will work to utilize those funds to advance the breed through member service, promotion and advertising, research, commercial marketing and advertising, and youth development.

New national ad campaignThe Board approved the new advertising campaign designed by Graphic Arts, Topeka, Kan. A series of three ads will be released over the next few months with

testimonials from industry leaders. In addition, videos will be

produced to complement the print ads, and the FY 2016 media buy includes more digital advertising. For more on the new campaign, see Page 52.

An “American Rancher” episode will be produced to air the week of Jan. 4. The show will include footage from the ad campaign testimonials along with information about the National

Western Stock Show and other AHA programs.

HPI announcementThe Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) committee reported that Ben Brillhart has resigned as the mountain region field representative because of his growing commitment to the family ranch (see Page 58). The Board of Directors wishes to thank Ben for his years of service to the AHA.

Building committee reportNegotiations continue regarding the sale of the AHA building. AHA staff and Board are looking at possible relocation options. The mayor of Kansas City, Mo., has given his full support to a downtown convention hotel on the current AHA property. The city council has voted to accept the investment group’s financial proposal including tax incentives.

Breed improvement actionThe Board voted unanimously to increase the cost of a basic DNA test to $38 because of the increase in price from GeneSeek Inc. This increase will take effect on Sept. 1.

The cost of GE-EPD (genomic-enhanced expected progeny difference) tests and combination packages of the GE-EPD test with the basic DNA profile or horn/poll tests will remain the same as they have been since late 2014.

Member service updateMyHerd continues to add members and accounted for more than

50% of the registrations during the past

few months. Nearly three-fourths of all adult and junior members

have access to the MyHerd system. MyHerd continues to be tweaked and tuned to make it as user friendly as possible. Staff is working to provide access to DNA requests and DNA results through MyHerd.

The School of MyHerd webinar series has been very successful, helping to educate members about the service. New sessions will start again in October. Dates and times will be posted on Hereford.org and in Hereford eNews. If you have any questions or need assistance using MyHerd, e-mail the MyHerd team at [email protected] or call the AHA customer service department at 816-842-3757.

CHB celebration plannedCertified Hereford Beef

(CHB) LLC continues to experience good growth in both food

service and value-added programs. Since 2015 is the

20-year anniversary of the CHB program, the Association will host a celebration on Oct. 30 at the AHA headquarters.

Hall of Fame inductees selectedJim Mrnak and family, Bowman, N.D., and Charles Chandler and family, Baker City, Ore., will be the newest members of the Hereford Hall of Fame. Both families will be recognized on Oct. 30 during the AHA Annual Meeting weekend in Kansas City.

B AThe American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors met Aug. 6-7 in Murfreesboro, Tenn., for the 2015 summer Board planning and budget meeting. The following are highlights of the meeting:


The 2014-born calves at Stahly Ranch were recently harvested, and the information provided here is the final report from this portion of our National Reference Sire Program (NRSP).

Mike and Judy Stahly, of Stahly Ranch, Cavour, S.D., and their family have worked with the American Hereford Association (AHA) for many years to test young Hereford sires in their commercial herd. Each year, the AHA tests three sires at Stahly Ranch. At least one of those sires is used at Olsen Ranch to connect the two herds, and, then from Olsen’s, AHA tries to use one sire in our other test and research herds.

The results of this year’s end-product data showed some progress with 64% of the calves grading Choice or Prime, and ribeye area (REA) measurements were strong (see Table 1). These steers were harvested on the same day in order to keep

cohorts together and to make the test meaningful. So, with that said, we do have some calves that were yield grade (YG) 4 in the group because we feed them all a little longer in order to give the younger and lighter calves a chance to finish out.

This data continues to be useful in identifying young sires with promise, and it shows the power of what real carcass data can do to end-product expected progeny differences (EPDs). If you have a set of calves that are being fed and you have access to their harvest data, be sure to request the forms to submit that data to the AHA — it is vital for us to truly identify bulls with carcass merit. The EPDs on the bulls listed in Table 2 will not reflect this data. Since we harvested the calves after the deadline for data to make the fall 2015 evaluation, this data will not be reflected until spring 2016. HW

Stahly NRSP Results AnnouncedNational Reference Sire ProgramThe American Hereford Association (AHA) National Reference Sire Program (NRSP) is a program that allows Hereford breeders to test young sires in real-world commercial settings.

Benefits of NRSP include: 1) Obtaining high accuracy

carcass expected progeny differences (EPDs)

2) Obtaining performance data compared to other sires tested in herd contemporaries

3) Having the opportunity to market semen as a reference sire in the NRSP after nominated and selected

4) Having the opportunity to test sires next to the top Hereford genetics in the breed.

Fall 2015 calf registration remindersAs you register fall calves, take a second look at the registration form before sending it to the records department for entry. When calf registration forms are missing required information or directions are not followed, the registration will be put on hold until the correct data are provided by the breeder. Please review your calf registration form for the following:

• Provide full dam and sire registration numbers. Only Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™) participants, not pedigree breeders, are allowed to use a herd ID (identification number) in place of a registration number.

• Assign a herd ID to each calf and remember herd IDs cannot be duplicated within your herd. A herd ID isn’t your American Hereford Association (AHA) member number; it’s a maximum of six numbers and/or letters used to identify an animal within your herd.

• Report an embryo recovery date for embryo transfer (ET) calves. ET certificates are no longer required.

• Remember a registered name cannot be more than 30 spaces long and may only include numbers and letters. Names cannot be duplicated. Make a calf name unique by adding a prefix or tattoo number to the end of the name.

• The name for an unregistered animal must be its combined tattoo. A registered name can be added when the animal is updated to registered status.

Technical support from the School of Myherd.org Attention performance Hereford breeders reporting birth performance data. When you’ve completed your calving to-do list, analyze the calf crop for birth performance information. If your calf crop birth performance data are not analyzed, adjusted birth weights and ratios will not be calculated. Please follow these steps to analyze your calf crop:

1) Go to the top left section of MyHerd and click on the “Herd Details” tab. Select the menu option Whole Herd TPR. A new page will open.

2) Go to the row for the year and season you’re working on and click on the number in the “birth weight” column (See “Calf Crop Tracker” graphic below).

3) When the birth details page opens, click the button in the middle of the page labeled “Submit job now to analyze calf crop?”

4) When the button is clicked, a performance request screen will open. Confirm the report request by clicking the button “submit request.”

5) A birth report will be generated and the adjusted weights and ratios will be calculated for the requested calf crop.

AHA fieldman Ben Brillhart resigns

After 12 years as the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) Mountain Region #2 Field Representative, Ben Brillhart, Musselshell, Mont., is leaving to take on new

challenges. Brillhart served Hereford breeders in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and the western Canadian provinces. He says his favorite part of working for AHA was being able to see cattle in many different parts of the U.S. and Canada and meeting breeders.

“I got to meet a lot of people and see a lot of cattle that I never would have been able to otherwise,” Brillhart says.

He was born and raised as a Hereford cattle rancher. His family has been raising Hereford cattle for almost 60 years in Montana. He says he will now spend his time returning to raising Hereford cattle and traveling.

“Ben had his own style as a field representative and it worked well in his territory,” says Joe Rickabaugh, AHA director of field management and seedstock marketing.

“I say this as an upmost compliment, and he will be missed on the AHA fieldman team. The commercial cattle industry is important to him and this was top-of-mind when he was working with breeders across his territory. We wish him nothing but the best for his future.” HW

Hereford Breeders and Friends, I have decided to pursue other options in my life at this time so I will be leaving my position as your American Hereford Association Mountain Region Manager. It has been a great pleasure and exciting time the past 12 years to hold this position. Meeting breeders and seeing your herds and how you manage them has been a great experience. Seeing the great pride in which you, the breeders, take in the cattle you are raising is very encouraging for the future of the Hereford breed. God willing the breed keeps growing stronger, as we have the last few years, and becomes an even stronger force in the industry. I would like to thank all of you for the support and hospitality that was afforded to me these past years and I hope to see many of you on down the trail.

Sincerely, Ben Brillhart

THREE MILES DOWN THE ROAD!


Consumers Consider CHBThe Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®) LLC team wants to know what makes a consumer fall in love with CHB. We have our ideas, and we know certain things such as in the 1700s, herdsmen around Herefordshire, England, discovered that these red-bodied, white-faced cattle produced the most tender and flavorful beef that was fit for the royalty of the country.

Later, in the 19th century, some progressive American farmers began importing Herefords to raise in the western frontier. Since 1817, generations of American families have been raising Hereford cattle. In 1881 the American Hereford Association (AHA) was formed to unite these local families in an effort to raise the highest quality cattle and to produce the highest quality beef.

Since 1995 CHB LLC has been marketing this beef to American families from American families. CHB is a premium differentiated beef brand that provides an eating experience only the Hereford

breed can produce. We’re proud to work with our local ranching families to ensure the values that were started generations ago continue well into tomorrow. It’s this promise that allows us to say, “CHB is Excellence Built By Tradition™.”

With all this in mind, we wanted to know why consumers pick CHB. So, we asked a variety of our consumers from across the country, “What makes CHB the cream of the crop?”

Mark Thomas from Tennessee finds CHB at various restaurants around Nashville. His favorite cut is the ribeye. Mark says, “The flavor is unbeatable, and the tenderness is out of this world. I like mine grilled to a perfect medium with just a touch of salt and pepper.”

Mark may be a little partial because his great-grandfather raised Herefords and his grandfather and father still raise them commercially today. “I‘m not in the business, but I know the hard work they put in — like all ranchers do day in and day out,” Mark adds. “I know each time I walk into a Nashville restaurant like Jimmy Kelly’s and order a great tasting CHB steak that I am going to get quality and consistency.”

Stacy Gates from Washington says she loves CHB because of the variety of cuts available at Yoke’s Fresh Market, a chain of grocery stories based out of Spokane, Wash. She enjoys experimenting with CHB whether it’s a roast, steak or ground beef. Stacy likes seeing the local signs hanging in the Yoke’s stores telling about hard-

working ranchers making sure customers have beef every day.

“A lot of people take that for granted and there is something to be said for how hard our Hereford ranchers work,” Stacy says. Her favorite cut is the chuck roast because it packs incredible flavor so she does not have to add a lot of ingredients to the slow cooker, she says.

Ashley Bump from Florida shops at The Fresh Market and looks for CHB. “I feed three hungry boys and when they don’t complain, Mom stays happy and they stay happy,” Ashley says. “I know beef is good for them to help them keep growing strong so I might as well buy the best.”

Mark Thomas and Bill Paxton say the ribeye is their favorite.

Part 7:Consumer


Her favorite cut is the tenderloin. For Stacy the Hereford filet is so tender it just melts in her mouth, but if her husband or kids are picking, then it’s the T-bone for them.

Bill Paxton of Texas says, “I choose a ribeye all the way. It’s the perfect combination of tender, juicy and flavor. Give me a perfect 12-14 ounce ribeye that is prepared a perfect medium-rare and I’ll say ‘I’m in Heaven.’”

Bill finds CHB at Porter’s Thriftway. It’s all about the taste for Bill. When he throws a ribeye on the grill, he wants to know when it comes off that it’s going to be tasty and flavorful. He says his wife and kids love the steaks they buy at Porter’s Thriftway more than what they find going out to eat.

Megan Wright from Minnesota shops at Coborn’s. Megan says she chooses CHB because the tenderness is unmatched by anything she has ever had.

“In Minnesota, I always shop at Coburn’s or Cashwise, and I look for restaurants that call out CHB

on the menu,” Megan says. “When I cook at home and have a great eating experience, I like going to a restaurant that serves CHB and seeing if they can match what I cooked. I like to think that a lot of the times, I win.”

Megan says she likes the flavor of the New York strip or Kansas City strip. She says she learned on the CHB website HerefordBeef.org that the strip steak is a lean cut. Megan says the best steak salad is created by cooking a strip steak to medium and then thinly slicing it. She adds that even her husband tries to steal her salad when she puts steak on it.

CHB LLC is coming up on 20 years of providing the country with flavorful, tender, nutritious beef the world knows, and this accomplishment is the result of the hard-working men and women that make up the AHA. The product speaks for itself, and that fact makes CHB LLC’s job easy. HW

Megan Wright says the best steak salad is created by cooking a

After a record-setting Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), how can we as National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and American Hereford Association members not think about the future of our associations and the future of the breed? If you ask me, the future is looking bright for all involved. We have a phenomenal set of junior and adult members and breeders involved right now, and there continues to be an increasing interest in the Hereford breed. We have the prime opportunity to push forward and build upon the excitement of the JNHE and to help provide a promising future for the Hereford breed.

If you’re anything like me, you feel that excitement as your heart rate picks up a bit when you’re around Hereford cattle and other Hereford enthusiasts. You want to help continue making the breed stronger in

the future. Then you stop, and you think, “What’s my duty in all of that and what can I truly do to positively affect the future of the breed?”

You may be a junior member who is bringing one or two head of cattle to the JNHE each year, participating in one or two contests and making a couple of new friends. Or, you may be an adult member who comes to the JNHE each year solely just to watch the show. It doesn’t matter what part of the nation you are coming from or how big of an operation you have back home, we each have a duty when it comes to continuing to build the breed.

I reflect on a quote by Andrew Carnegie, “Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.”

Your duty as adult and junior members is more than just being bodies in an association, it is more than just doing the bare minimum and it is more than just focusing on your own operations. We all have a reason to want the Hereford breed to continue to be successful. If we each do our part to the best of our abilities, plus even a little more, we wouldn’t have to speculate about the breed’s future because it will take care of itself.

Reflecting on the end of my JNHE career, I’ve realized the importance of taking advantage of opportunities the event provides. Networking with a wider range of people than just your annual group of JNHE friends is so important. Take advantage of every opportunity there is whether it

is at the JNHE or any other time throughout the year. When you put yourself in new and different situations and provide yourself with an opportunity to grow, you will always walk away a more well-rounded person.

Getting involved is absolutely one of the best things you can do as a junior member and one of the best things you can do to help ensure that the breed continues to thrive.

We hear time and time again that the future of the breed is within the junior association. Yes, this is true; however it is also true that the future of the breed lies within the adult association as well. As members of a junior association, we need guidance and leadership from the adult association and members to ensure that as we grow, we grow in the right direction. As junior members we should take advantage of the knowledge of those around us.

If you ask me what our duty is as junior members, I would say that it is to get involved and to get as much experience as we can. Attending functions like the Faces of Leadership Conference will provide you with an immeasurable amount of knowledge and experience to help develop you as a young breeder and individual. I challenge you all to do your duty in helping the breed succeed.

I am honored to be serving as this year’s NJHA chairman at a time when we have such a strong association with an incredible set of junior members. I am excited about the year ahead and all of the many great events that will come with it. My job as an NJHA board member is to serve you, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you ever need anything. With the summer coming to an end, I will be counting the days until the fall shows start. I look forward to seeing you all then! HW

I recently received an e-mail with a subscript after the signature. It read “Live Simply, Love Generously, Care Deeply and Speak Kindly.” I have, like you, seen the same or similar wording on posters or signs before, but on this day it caught my attention.

The e-mail was one of 34 awaiting me at the office one morning, in addition to a dozen text messages and half a dozen voice messages. Add to the list Facebook, LinkedIn and more, and before you know it, half the day has passed.

Clearly, the methods in which we communicate have significantly changed, and communication is but one aspect of technology-driven change in our daily lives. Live simply, right? Just after I turn back the clock 20 years.

Then I arrived at Grand Island, Neb., for the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in July. As I crossed the parking lot and walked toward the entry door, I noticed three young boys laughing and playing with nothing more than a couple of sticks — sword fighting at its best. They were in the essence of living simply. Standing at the VitaFerm® booth, I observed family members of junior exhibitors waiting and then greeting their children with hugs, smiles, words of encouragement and pride as those children came out of the ring. Those family members were loving, caring and speaking kindly.

I went upstairs to the Foundation area and saw many enjoying the blessing of friendship. Simple face-to-face conversation with the occasional warmth of a touch, a handshake or a hug. And then as I walked through the barn, I observed families together — working, helping, playing, nurturing and, yes, even, deservedly, napping. All of a sudden the words of the subscript scrolled across my mind like a bright digital billboard: Live Simply, Love Generously, Care Deeply and Speak Kindly.

I pretended that dust in my eye would explain the tears on my cheek, the manly thing of course, but the truth is I was touched by what I was seeing and feeling. Simple acts, spoken or unspoken, reflected clearly the message expressed by “Live Simply, Love Generously, Care Deeply and Speak Kindly.”

I repeat those words because it is not sufficient to just mention them briefly: Not just to live but to live simply because we cannot change the past or predict the future; not just to love but to love generously; not just to care but to care deeply; and not just to speak but to speak kindly.

In the midst of a well-organized but not so simple JNHE, I saw example after example of these best life lessons being practiced and taught. The words were real and the actions were being shared effortlessly by so many.

As I gave thanks for those I observed and the opportunity to observe, I thought about the responsibilities we have as parents in raising, nurturing and teaching our children. I also thought about how fortunate we are as parents that there are so many who assist us in this role, including those involved in events

such as the JNHE and organizations like the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA). Although on this day I had no parental responsibility, I was grateful to be there and even more grateful for the opportunity extended to me by Jack Ward, Amy Cowan, the American Hereford Association (AHA) staff and the leadership of the AHA. This was a wonderful opportunity to live simply, love generously, care deeply and speak kindly.

Fortunately for me, and for you, we don’t have to wait for an event such as the JNHE to lift our hearts by expressing our love and concern for our children — our Hereford children.

The Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) provides each of us just that opportunity. The mission of the HYFA is to provide financial support for youth scholarship, leadership and education within the Hereford breed. The classroom may be the traditional institution; but as I observed, the showring is clearly another place that scholarship, leadership and education are accomplished.

These youth, from toddlers to NJHA directors, are our legacy. They are a gift to our families, our breed and this great country. It is a privilege to be a part of their journey and to insure that all have an opportunity to participate and pursue their goals, visions and dreams.

I hope you will join me in placing a dollar, or more if you like, in a jar each morning as you start your day. As you put the dollar in the jar, think about and focus on your act of giving and on these wonderful young folks you will be helping. There is no better way to start the day than by giving thanks and by giving. I promise you cannot give to the HYFA without experiencing the feeling of loving generously and caring deeply. HW

Reflecting on the last 40 years in the cattle business, we can say a lot has changed as we continue to look to the future. The Hereford breed has had many highs and some lows, all the while continuing to develop our youth, cattle that perform and new marketing opportunities for whitefaced cattle.

Members of the National Hereford Women (NHW) are excited to celebrate the National Hereford Queen program this year in Kansas City, Mo., during the American Royal, as the program’s 40th anniversary is upon us.

The value of the National Queen ProgramThe celebration for the 40th anniversary of the National Queen Program will also include recognition of all past state and national queens. The Hereford queen legacy reaches back much farther than 40 years in Hereford history, and the NHW wants to also recognize all

of those who have been involved in representing the breed. To celebrate this milestone, the NHW will be hosting a social on the American Royal grounds in the Governors Room at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31.

As we reflect on the growth and development of the NHW queen program as we know it today, many changes have occurred, and, yet, the foundation has stayed much the same.

“The goal for the state queen program in the start was to represent the breed and add some class to the shows,” says Kay Morgan of Morgan Ranch, Burwell, Neb. “These foundational goals continue, and following the merger of the two women’s organizations we have seen the queen program expand its reach while providing new opportunities for young ladies.”

Courtney Tribble had this to say about her experience as Washington State Queen, “Some of my closest friendships were made in my time as state queen and when running for national queen.” Professional skills and networking are also two areas from which Tribble gained valuable experiences from her time as queen. “Having the opportunity to talk with some of the biggest and most influential breeders in the country increased my knowledge of the breed, all while I was building my résumé,” she says.

Mark your calendars This celebration is about more than a title of National Hereford Queen; it is about all of those who have supported the state and national queens for decades.

“The NHW is excited to host this event during the American Royal this year with the hopes of bringing together numerous past state and national queens along with all of those who have supported this program,” says Barbara Metch of Canton, Texas, an NHW board member.

Building on our foundation of decades of opportunity, former National Hereford Queen, Brooke Jensen says, “The Queen program is important to me, developing leaders and strong women in the Hereford industry. I would love to see the queen program continue to build and grow for another 40 years.”

The NHW hopes to see you for this great celebration and to help us send the program into the future with more energy and ideas on growing the program. HW

Whether it’s interacting with co-workers, family members or kids or being part of a committee, we find ourselves in situations where we must communicate and work with others. And, most of us have probably realized that sometimes communication goes smoothly, and sometimes it does not.

What’s the reason for this variation? Largely it’s because people have different behavioral styles and preferences, says Sally Amtmann. “Some people’s behavior favors a fast pace,” she says, and gives the example of those people that want you to “be brief, be brilliant and be gone.” Conversely, other behavior styles may prefer a slower pace to allow for analyzing and making decisions, she explains.

Amtmann, who has worked in sales for much of her career, says recognizing and understanding behavioral styles can help improve work productivity, teamwork and communication. Now with Zoetis, she often conducts presentations and trainings utilizing the DiSC personal assessment tool to help people identify and discuss behavioral differences.

The four DiSC behavioral styles are Dominance, Influencing, Steadiness and Conscientiousness. Amtmann notes that we all have some of each behavior, and she emphasizes that no one behavior is “better” than another. Rather, she says it is important to focus on learning about each of the behaviors and then using that information to better understand yourself as well as adapting your behavior to work more productively with others.

“I like to remind people of the Platinum Rule: Treat others the way they want to be treated, which means you may have to adjust,” she states.

Determine the paceAmtmann notes that one of the first differences in behavior styles is pace. Some individuals prefer a faster

pace — they like to get information quickly — and often make decisions quickly. They are often more willing to take risks. The Dominance and Influencing behaviors typically reflect this preference for a “fast pace.”

“These individuals are task oriented; they want to get to the bottom line,” Amtmann summarizes. She does note that Influencing behaviors do prefer more socializing than Dominant.

On the other end of the spectrum, Steadiness and Conscientiousness behaviors prefer a slower pace and are more reserved at first. They typically like to listen, gather information and then make decisions. “These individuals tend to put people before the task; they want to make sure everyone is comfortable and understands,” Amtmann says.

To help in identifying each of the four behavioral styles, Amtmann shares the favorite question that each likes to ask:

Dominance behaviors ask “What?”

Influencing behaviors ask “Who?”

Steadiness behaviors ask “How?”

Conscientiousness behaviors ask “Why?”

Find ways to “flex”By recognizing these differences, Amtmann says you can then learn to “flex” or adapt to the behavior of the person you are communicating with. For instance, if someone is a Dominant behavior, you would want to be on time, be energetic and fast-paced, get to business quickly to use time efficiently, and, from beginning to end, focus on results.

If you are communicating with an Influencer, you would also want to be energetic and fast-paced, but people with this behavior also like some socializing and having fun while achieving the objective, Amtmann explains. Thus, you’d want to talk a

little about social topics of interest to them, while still staying cognizant of time and the task at hand.

When communicating with someone who has a Steady behavior, it is important to be genuine and not to hurry. “Their preference is person-to-person contact over emails or texts. They also want to be listened to without having their ideas judged,” Amtmann explains. Rather than being told what to change or do, the Steady behavior prefers to come to a mutual agreement on decisions and likes assurances that decisions will have minimal risk.

“This behavior style may need more ongoing contact and communication than the other three styles,” Amtmann says. She also notes that in agriculture there tends to be a lot of individuals with this behavior. “They are caretakers; they put people [and land and livestock] first. They are the calm in the storm.”

Finally, for the Conscientious behavior Amtmann says, “Be prepared to provide information and the ‘why’ questions. This behavior likes systematic, factual, logical and exact, but also needs a human touch.”

People with this behavior like to follow procedure and protocol. They are focused on quality and things being done right. She adds that Conscientious individuals are turned off by exaggeration and overstatements.

With that insight, Amtmann says it becomes easier to start understanding people and situations — why they may not be comfortable with a proposed change or why conflict is occurring. As you develop the ability to respond and communicate with people’s different behavior styles, you can move closer to improving that relationship and helping all involved work together more effectively.

National Junior Hereford Association members met American Junior Maine-Anjou Association members in Estes Park, Colo., for the annual Faces of Leadership Convention.

by Bridget Beran

Hereford juniors rose to new challenges and high altitude to attend the third annual

Faces of Leadership Convention in Estes Park, Colo. Along with members of the American Junior Maine-Anjou Association (AJMAA), Hereford youth visited Colorado cattle ranches, developed leadership skills, learned new cattle handling techniques and visited Colorado State University (CSU), Ft. Collins, Colo.

The Faces of Leadership Convention combines the National Junior Hereford Association’s (NJHA)

Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention and AJMAA’s National Youth Leadership Convention (NYLC) to provide juniors in both breeds the opportunity to network and establish friendships with juniors in other breeds. This year 90 NJHA and AJMAA members from across the country enhanced their knowledge and leadership skills at the Faces of Leadership Convention.

“My favorite part of PRIDE this year was getting to network with Hereford and Maine Anjou juniors

from across the nation and learning leadership skills that will help me in the future,” says Taylor Belle Matheny, Mays Lick, Ky. “This well-planned event allowed members to come together and learn skills that prepare us to be advocates for the beef industry.”

The event kicked off with juniors traveling to Blind Badger Ranch, Ft. Morgan, Colo., to see the ranch’s Maine-Anjou cattle. They then visited Coyote Ridge Ranch, LaSalle, Colo., to learn about its Hereford breeding program before starting the trek

up the mountains to Estes Park. Coyote Ridge Ranch runs 150 pairs of Hereford cattle. They won grand champion pen of bulls at the National Western Stock Show in 2014, and both the polled and horned heifer champions at the Junior National Hereford Expo had CRR genetics.

Nestled into a valley at the YMCA of the Rockies, juniors spent the second day of the conference working on leadership techniques. Rhett Laubach, professional keynote speaker and owner of YourNextSpeaker LLC and PLI Inc., led attendees through a series of activities and games including “the leadership mamba.” This teaches juniors that sometimes being a leader also includes being a follower. “The leadership circus” that had juniors racing around the room to complete 20 different tasks while working as a team and keeping their cool.

“I was very impressed with Rhett’s presentations,” says Del Adcock, Assumption, Ill. “He had a way of taking activities that seemed random and pulling them together to show us the leadership skills we were utilizing without even realizing it.”

Laubach later shared stories of discovering that he had a brain tumor in 2014, his survival and the six hours that changed his life. He discussed the importance of the people who were there for his family in difficult times and the moments that defined his life.

“I had a lot of moments that defined my life but a lot of times I

Rhett Laubach challenged juniors to trust each other in a “group clap” with their eyes closed.

Playing leapfrog down the length of the room was just one of the stations in the “leadership circus.”

didn’t realize they were going to define me until they had already passed,” Laubach says. “What are your defining moments? What moments do you want to make happen to get you where you want to go?”

The next day, juniors traveled to Colorado State University (CSU), where they were able to hear presentations from several different staff members, including Temple Grandin, CSU animal science professor and leading expert in livestock handling. Grandin spoke to juniors about the importance of using their voices to tell the story of agriculture and being willing to explain agricultural practices.

“I really enjoyed having the opportunity to meet Temple Grandin,” says Caitlyn Hartzell,

Oakdale, Calif. “She has overcome so much in her life and her story is truly inspirational.”

Juniors were grouped and rotated through short presentations by CSU staff on their specialities. Juniors learned about the CSU herd and how staff utilize expected progeny differences (EPDs), how to properly score animals for temperament, ruminant nutrition research, and how to test for pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP). Youth were even able to reach inside the stomach of a cow and watched a PAP test being done.

“My favorite thing was visiting CSU and going around to all the different workshops and learning a little bit of one person’s expertise,” says Rylee Barber, Channing,

Texas. “All of the instructors were top-notch and it was very beneficial to learn something from each of them.”

They also received a lesson in cattle handling from Grandin who displayed a different method of moving cattle through the chute and spoke with juniors about the importance of proper cattle handling techniques.

“I loved attending the sessions at Colorado State,” said Gabrielle Torrance, Media, Ill. “I enjoyed meeting Temple Grandin and learning better cattle handling tips and how to be an advocate for the beef industry. I also enjoyed meeting and learning from the other professors at CSU, many of whom are leaders in their fields as well.”

Juniors then had the opportunity to go white-water rafting on the Poudre River, a highlight of the trip for many, before wrapping up the trip with a campfire back at Estes Park. Matheny adds, “Along with the leadership building sessions, I found touring Coyote Ridge Ranch and white water rafting gave members a chance to get to know each other.” NJHA and AJMAA youth used their time in Estes Park to learn how to become better advocates for the beef industry and better leaders in their associations and in their everyday lives.

Generations of ExhibitorsShowing is a family affair and tradition for the McMahons.

by Allison Fortner

Driving thousands of miles on hot summertime asphalt wore down too many trailer tires to count. Dozens of nights were spent on the road away from home and the farm. But the

McMahon family enjoyed every moment of these experiences in pursuit of another great Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE).

The McMahons of Ayr, Neb., concluded three generations worth of showing Herefords at the 2015 JNHE in Grand Island, Neb., June 27-July 3. Fond family memories and hope for the future kept this family coming back time after time for a total of 27 junior nationals.

Family historyThe McMahon family began in the Hereford business in 1954, when Stanley and Janice McMahon started their herd and business, Stanley J. McMahon & Sons Polled Herefords. Brian and Craig, the “sons” mentioned in the business title, helped their father in the family Hereford operation, now known nationally as MCM Polled Herefords.

Though this was the McMahon family’s first venture in the Hereford business, the family had been involved in the purebred livestock industry for the two previous generations, raising purebred hogs along with Shorthorn cattle.

A rich family history in livestock led to the continuous success of the business once it was dedicated to

Stan, Craig and Brian (l to r) had the champion heifer and reserve champion bull at the Nebraska State Polled Hereford Sale in 1983.

polled Hereford genetics. When Stanley retired, Brian and Craig took over the Hereford herd and the farming operation.

Second-generation exhibitorsHowever, continuing the family business was not the only legacy Stanley’s sons would follow. During his show career, Stanley had exhibited cattle with the local 4-H program and at state and national levels, while he also worked for reputable breeders.

A second generation of exhibitors, Brian and Craig participated in Hereford shows during their youth, and that involvement led to the tradition they shared with their children.

Brian recalls his favorite show as a junior was his final year when he traveled to Hutchinson, Kan., with his friends the Crayses and the Frenzens.

Craig says having Herefords has brought his family an abundance of pride, togetherness and fun. “I wouldn’t change a thing,” exclaims Craig, whose favorite memories include his daughter, Darbie, receiving champion steer, reserve champion showman and speech competition honors at the junior nationals.

With a strong family history of exhibiting Herefords, it is no surprise that Brian’s four children have also embraced showing for the past 19 years. Brian and his wife, Jill, introduced their son Daniel to showing when he was seven years old at the Junior National Polled Hereford Show in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1996.

The three younger children, Grady, Mattie and Harrison, followed in the family footsteps by exhibiting Herefords as soon as they were old enough to show as part of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA).

As the children grew older, preparing the cattle for shows became a group effort and everyone grew into their responsibilities of preparing cattle for the show. Jill recalls Harrison’s

first JNHE, laughing, “I remember you were always sweeping the aisles, trying to stay busy.”

Family lessonsThough no family member claims a specific task in preparing the cattle for a show, it is evident that they all come ready to help. Through years of working together, they have discovered niches and talents that allow each family member to contribute his best.

Jill says through showing Herefords, her children learned teamwork, commitment and the importance of hard work by working together to prepare at home and at the shows. “And no

complaining about it either,” she is quick to add.

Not only did they learn valuable life skills and the value of working together as a family, but their mother claims that learning to live together is part of what has built her family’s spirit at the shows.

“That’s what love is,” says Jill, as she proudly watches her children band together to fit Harrison’s heifer for the ring in the owned polled female show.

The McMahons tackle the challenge of managing cattle and fitting heifers by working as a family team. Though Jill and Brian’s three eldest children no longer qualified to show at the 2015 JNHE, they journeyed to Grand Island to help Harrison prepare his cattle and to enjoy what has served as the family vacation for many years.


Mattie contributes as part of the family fitting team by keeping the heifer calm while she is in the chute.

Harrison uses the skills he has been building since his first show to fit his heifer in the championship drive of senior showmanship.

Harrison concentrates on exhibiting his heifer during one of his final classes in the junior showring.

Grady (left) and Brian, the father and son duo responsible for the MCM herd, are also a fitting team for the polled heifer show.


Awards and accomplishmentsHarrison’s last rounds in the junior showring made for a memorable week of accomplishments. He advanced to the top 10 in senior

showmanship, was nominated as a junior herdsman candidate and won a division in the horned owned heifer show.

However, Harrison was not the first of his family to accomplish these impressive feats. Grady was also a herdsman candidate and placed in the top 10 senior showmen during his tenure as an exhibitor.

But the boys didn’t have all of the success to themselves. One of the

most exciting years was the 2013 JNHE in Kansas City, Mo., where Mattie received the honor of Junior Premier Exhibitor. During the same week, the McMahon family collectively exhibited three class winners in a row, contributing to a total of five class winners and two division winners.

With the exception of one heifer in Harrison’s first year of showing, the family has bred every heifer they have exhibited. This method has served them well, especially considering that each of the four

children has exhibited a national class winner.

The family shares in their victories, celebrating together when anyone wins. “We’re pretty competitive among ourselves,” admits Grady, “but for one of us to win, we win as a family.”

More than winningThe McMahon family has had some impressive success at several JNHEs but values the way in which they have been able to show as a family over the success of their cattle.

Brian recalls that some of their best times have included excursions in the middle of the night to junior nationals with other families from Nebraska and Kansas.

With all of the flat tires, narrow bridges and not-always-convenient bathroom breaks that come along with the travels, the McMahons continue to be thankful for their experiences.

They agree that traveling across the country has contributed largely to the many memories they have made. While they may not be a family that stays at home often, they say that if they had not taken the opportunity to attend JNHEs throughout the years, they never would have driven the miles and experienced the varying cultures in the U.S.

From Michigan to Pennsylvania to Mississippi, the McMahons have had the joy of showing Herefords in different locations across the country, though the final show of the third generation concluded just 45 minutes from their home in Ayr, Neb.

The homefrontHowever, it wasn’t always as simple as driving less than an hour to arrive at a show. With all of the miles put on the trailers across the country, Brian is the first to acknowledge that the travel to shows would not have happened without the devotion of his brother and father.

While the family journeyed to shows across the country during key growing seasons, Craig and Stanley made sure that all was running smoothly at home in Ayr. From watching the Hereford herd to irrigating the corn and soybeans on the farm, the dedicated duo have helped put Brian’s mind to rest as he carted his family to the JNHE each summer.

“There’s no way this could have been possible without my brother and my dad being home,” says

Grady (at the halter) exhibited a class winner in the 2011 JNHE bred-and-owned heifer show.

Brian, grateful for the kindness shown by his family members.

Having been involved in farming for more than 100 years, the family now grows irrigated and dryland crops of corn, soybeans and wheat.

The McMahons extensively use artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET) in their breeding program to produce functional and genetically superior cattle. The family has worked to stay competitive in the showring while producing cattle that would work in seedstock and commercial operations alike.

With multiple years of Hereford production experience, Brian says he has seen changes in Hereford type and how cattlemen select animals. He notes, “Frame scores have changed and moderation has become more of a standard in the breed.”

He also recognizes that improvements in technology including expected progeny differences (EPDs) have altered how his family evaluates cattle and makes breeding decisions. As a family, they work to be progressive and to incorporate advancing technologies to improve their herd genetics.

MCM’s marketing program has been private treaty sales year-round, offering purebred herd bull prospects as well as commercial herd bulls, replacement females, and show heifer and steer prospects.

Doug Bolte of Blueberry Hill Farms, Norfolk, Neb., has been doing business with the McMahon family for more than 35 years and has seen the operation succeed in both the showring and at the farm. “Much of their success at the junior nationals is from home-raised, bred-and-owned females,” Doug remarks. “That is quite an accomplishment for a modest-sized cow herd.”

Not only has Doug done business with MCM and shared

bulls with them over the years, but he says his family also shares great memories of summer vacations to junior nationals with the McMahons.

However, he is quick to recall the broad influence the McMahons have had in their state. Doug says, “The McMahon family has left their imprint in the Nebraska Hereford Association as they have served as members and on the board of directors in all three divisions: men’s, women’s and junior’s.”

The road aheadThough the 2015 JNHE brought the junior show career of Brian and Jill’s children to an end, the family is confident that this does not mark a farewell to the junior nationals. “You know it won’t be the last one we’ll attend,” Jill assures.

They plan to stay involved in both the NJHA and the American Hereford Association and to continue in their offering of superior genetics for junior exhibitors to utilize. MCM Polled Herefords will host its first “No Holds” online steer and heifer sale in November. “We’ve got some pretty exciting prospects,” Brian says.

They’ll be selling some top prospects this fall, and the McMahons are excited to travel to Madison, Wis., in 2016 for

another exciting event, though they may not have cattle in tow as they have in the past.

As the third generation of McMahon showmen grows older, the four former exhibitors are headed for success in their chosen fields.

Daniel, 27, obtained his law degree from Creighton University and is an attorney at a firm in Hastings, Neb.

Grady, 26, purchased Craig’s share of the cattle and runs the farm along with Brian. He also assists in fitting cattle and plans to stay involved in the Hereford business.

Mattie, 24, will marry her fiancé, Tyler Humphrey, in September and move to Dixon, Ill. As Mattie prepares to start a family of her own, she says she would encourage her children to show in the future. She and her fiancé were both raised in the show industry and are impressed with the way the Hereford association handles its shows and activities.

Harrison, 21, has started his career as a John Deere mechanic in Fairfield, Neb.

The future looks bright for a fourth generation of McMahon Hereford exhibitors to grace the showring. The family tradition remains strong despite the fact that the third generation of McMahons has made its way out of the junior arena.

Though the nights on the road may have come to an end for the time being, there is no question that the McMahons have left their mark on the showring and will continue to influence the show arena and Hereford community through their business and their passion for the Hereford breed in the future.

AHA to Launch New Ad Campaign:HEREFORDS. Accountable. Predictable. Profitable. Sustainable.

A new American Hereford Association (AHA) ad campaign will launch

this fall. The campaign will include three ads focused on how Herefords are accountable, predictable, profitable and sustainable. Each ad targets

a segment of the industry — commercial cow-calf, feedlot and consumer — sharing a message of Hereford relevance to its personal business model.

The first ad released features Jess Herbers of Goose Creek Valley Farms, Montvale, Va. Copy in the

ad touts: “There’s a reason a tried and true black baldie is the most favored cow in America’s cow herd. She’s accountable, predictable, profitable and sustainable. Her calf and her steer mates are in demand, regardless of end point.”

All three print ads will have digital ads and videos to support and complement the message. In the first video, Herbers discusses the value of Hereford genetics to his commercial cow herd. Goose Creek Valley was AHA’s nomination for the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) commercial producer of the year award.

Materials to support the message, including links to the video, are posted at Hereford.org.

The other two ads feature Randall Raymond, DVM, Simplot Land & Livestock director of research and veterinary services, and Hickory Hills Country Club Executive Chef Melinda Burrows, Springfield, Mo.

AHA is also partnering with the American Brahman Breeders Association to develop a new tigerstripe female ad that promotes the value of the Hereford-Brahman cross.

State associations and breeders can utilize the ads in local and state publications or sale catalogs. To download AHA ads in three different sizes and color or black-and-white, visit HerefordResource.com. You can request a password by e-mailing [email protected]. HW

“Thanks to the supporters of the Hereford Research Foundation including donors, buyers and bidders, the AHA is able to continue to invest in industry leading research that will help us meet commercial industry demands and keep the Hereford breed on the cutting edge,” says Jack Ward, American Hereford Association (AHA) executive vice president.

“HRF supports projects like the calving ease research at Simplot, the GrowSafe system built at Olsen Ranch, Harrisburg, Neb., to collect feed intake data, and the work done to DNA sequence Hereford legacy sires.”

Many thanks go to all who purchased and bid during the auction, as well as the generous donors. Please find a complete list of items, donors and buyers below. HW

Hereford research divisionThe Hereford Research Foundation (HRF) was established in 2009 as a division of the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA), a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, to support breed improvement projects outside the scope of the American Hereford Association (AHA) budget.

HRF was developed to support programs that enhance beef cattle production. These projects will be conducted throughout the United States in conjunction with universities, private firms and ranches and shall be funded by donations.

Extensive time and resources are spent each year by the AHA to enhance beef cattle production through various ongoing projects. You can see the value of these projects at Hereford.org.

2015 Day-by-Day Highlights

‘Hereford Nation’ Breaks Records

The Hereford Nation took Grand Island, Neb., by storm

June 27-July 3 as it hosted the record-setting 2015 VitaFerm Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). More than 800 youth from 38 states came together to not only compete in the showring and contests, but to participate in the ultimate family and youth event gaining new friends and new experiences.

Hereford youth exhibited a record-number of 1,441 entries, including 651 polled owned females, 269 horned owned females, 265 bred-and-owned females, 107 bred-and-owned bulls, 35 cow-calf pairs and 107 steers.

Throughout the week, outstanding juniors were awarded nearly $25,000 in scholarships. They were also able to participate in 22 contests outside of the showring. New to this year’s JNHE, team sales took the place of team marketing to keep up with the evolving world of technology and sales. Participants got a glimpse at a real-life situation of selling and using marketing and technology resources.

JNHE attendees also participated in the first-ever Hereford Nation State Tailgate party and found there is no better way to spend time with their Hereford family than with an all-state cookout.

Numerous youth also attended the newcomer orientation. This event allowed new JNHE attendees to meet the National Junior Hereford Association board and learn about all that JNHE offers. A scavenger hunt

provided an opportunity for them to meet people from different states and learn their way around the JNHE grounds.

The Hereford Nation planning committee offered a grand slam meal pass. The “Season Meal Tickets” provided an affordable way to enjoy eight home-cooked meals that were easy to take back to the barns or showring for just $65. The JNHE would not be possible without the incredible support from title sponsor Biozyme Inc., St. Joseph, Mo., as well as a multitude of corporate and breeder sponsors. Thank you to all the sponsors for your continued support of the JNHE.

“Hereford Nation” once again offered a winning experience for the Hereford family. On the pages that follow, check out the highlights from this year’s JNHE. HW

2015 Retiring NJHA Board

Growing PainsRetiring board members Brady Jensen, Elise Hackett, Kristin Bielema and Jason May say goodbye to their time on the NJHA board of directors.

by Bridget Beran

When Brady Jensen, Elise Hackett, Kristin Bielema, and Jason May

joined the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board of directors in 2012, there were 663 exhibitors and 1,651 entries at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). Three short years later, they retired from the board, but this time around, there were more than 800 exhibitors and 2,030 entries. During their time as directors, the NJHA has gone through some serious growth spurts, and these directors worked to ensure that this growth was as painless as possible.

“I will miss this group’s solid leadership and direction that they provided, not only for the NJHA board, but the entire organization as a whole,” says Amy Cowan, American Hereford Association director of youth activities and foundation. “They were lucky to serve at a time when the amazing growth of the NJHA and the Junior National Hereford Expo has been our biggest challenge. They met each issue that came our way with a positive attitude and quickly went to work to leave the NJHA poised for more growth and success after they handed down their maroon jackets to the next group of leaders.”

Brady, NJHA chairman from Courtland, Kan., addressed the rapid expansion in his retiring address, but he and his fellow directors implemented other changes, like shortening the JNHE by a day and starting the Hereford tailgate event. While each of these changes came with challenges, the amount of money saved by a shorter JNHE is substantial, and the tailgate went off without a hitch and received rave reviews.

“Our class on the board had a lot of different things that had to be changed and it was almost always rooted back to the fact that we served three years when the numbers for the show just kept growing and growing,” Brady says. “Changing the distribution of membership and regions to better represent the juniors across the U.S. is what I was most excited about. And we watched it work for a year too.”

Getting startedThe 2012 JNHE was hosted in Grand Island, Neb., as was the 2015 JNHE, so this board class got to go out in the same place that it all began. Walking into the barns this time around, Elise, who is from Tuscola, Ill., says all the

memories of campaigning and being elected came flooding back to her. Reflecting on the night they got their jackets, emotions were high for each of the four.

“Going to the closing ceremonies that night, I was a nervous wreck,” says Kristin, of Ada, Mich.

“I sat in the way, way, way back of the expo hall here at Grand Island with my family and everyone and I remember them giving their retiring addresses and walking out and I’m so nervous and I had no idea what was about to happen. Everyone starts walking away, I saw Elise get hers and I saw Kevin Ernst walk over by Brady and Jason and Mallorie Phelps comes walking all the way to the back and she walked around my table and passes me and my heart sunk because I thought it was a no. But she came back around and gave me her jacket and my heart just stopped in amazement. I was so excited and so happy. I got tears in my eyes and I just looked at my mom and my dad and I saw how excited and happy they were for me,” she says.

“It was probably one of the best moments of my life, just seeing the pride in my parents’ eyes. It was a wonderful moment in my life and something I’ll probably never get back.”

Nerves were also present for Elise, and she said it was nice to receive her jacket from Andrew Albin, a retiring director from her home state of Illinois.

“The retiring board members said their goodbyes and they started walking down off the stage and I put my head down in my hands and closed my eyes and then I felt the tap on my shoulder and it was just a huge relief,” Elise says. “I looked up and my mom was bawling so I cried even harder. It was unbelievable and it’s a feeling that only comes around once in a lifetime.”

That once-in-a-lifetime feeling carried her and her fellow board

members through their next three years of leading the NJHA.

“It was exciting. It was a lot of different emotions at the time,” Jason, who is from Randolph, Minn., says. “I didn’t think it was going to be near as tough and as long as it was and it turned out for the best. I met a lot of good people. The emotions were real high in that moment.”

For Brady, sitting in the banquet hall waiting for his maroon jacket brought back memories of watching former board members receiving their own jackets.

“I just kept thinking how amazing it would be to be awarded with a jacket,” Brady says. “When I did get the jacket draped over me I was overwhelmed with joy and was excited and ready to take on the NJHA.”

Family mattersAnd take on the NJHA they did. Shortly after being elected, the new board members traveled to the Program for Reaching Individuals Determined to Excel (PRIDE) Convention in Michigan, and they all agreed that was where they truly started to bond with their fellow board members. For Elise, that was the trip where she says they became best friends.

Kristin explains, “I was brand new to it but man, did I feel like I was part of a family. We became friends in a heartbeat and that’s something I’ll never forget. These people are my best friends and I know I can go to them with anything. It’s a smaller family within a bigger family.”

Though the family changed members each year, for Kristin, the memories of laughter and accomplishment after board meetings will stay with her long after her years on the board are over. For Jason and Brady, PRIDE was also the first time it really hit them that they were on the national junior board and exactly what that responsibility entailed.

“We got to Michigan and we sat through our first three-hour meeting before lunch. You learn real fast what it’s all about,” Jason says. “You learn how many people there are to thank. It didn’t take long to realize how big of a deal it was being on this board and how many decisions you were going to make that would affect this whole breed.”

For Elise, that moment came over and over again throughout the last three years. She says it has been a privilege to serve every junior member she’s been able to help over the years. Though she wasn’t really sure what she was getting herself into in the beginning, she says the last three years have been an incredible ride.

“It hits me almost every event that I go to. The day after I got my jacket, I was out here working the owned show and I was listening to Eldon Krebs and his speech and I looked out at the stands and I was just in awe of what I was about to do,” Elise says. “At every show, I’m reminded that this is such a privilege. I’m so lucky to have been able to serve these wonderful people in my family, because I consider every single person here at JNHE my family. Every time I walk into the grand drive at any show, I’m just in awe of the cattle and the people and I’m just reminded of how important and special this is. I’m really lucky to have been a part of it.”

Though she retired from the board, Elise reassured junior members in her retiring address that she wasn’t going anywhere and would be there to help anyone who needed her. She found her passion for the Hereford breed and her

Kristin Bielema is the 21-year-old daughter of Dave and Jill Bielema, Ada, Mich. The retiring membership chair and former communications chair will be a senior at Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Mich., majoring in business. Described by her fellow board members as energetic, driven and social, Kristin has been a member of the Michigan Junior Hereford Association for 10 years, where she served as director, secretary and treasurer. She has attended nine JNHEs and the last four PRIDE Conventions.

Director of Youth Activities Amy Cowan says Kristin worked hard as communications chair to keep everyone informed as well as bringing passion to the NJHA board. Along with Elise Hackett, Kristin was instrumental in starting the newcomer orientation.

Kristin urges juniors who are interested in being on the board one day to meet as many people as they can and to involve themselves outside of the showring. Kristin thanks Amy Cowan and Bailey Clanton, her fellow board members, the Collins family, and her family.

“I wouldn’t be showing a Hereford if it wasn’t for my oldest sister and for mom and dad taking care of everything while I’m away,” Kristin says. “Thank you for supporting me and being proud of me, no matter how I do that day. Thank you for believing in me, even when I might not believe in myself.”

Jason’s entire family was able to attend JNHE for the first time this summer.



desire to run for the board through someone helping her. That assistance spurred her to help others find their passions while she was on the board. When she was young and showing at her state show, one of her heifers was acting up. But then board member Wade Perks came to her rescue.

“I was really nervous to come to JNHE and he was always there and

anytime I had a spooky heifer, I could count on a board member to stay with me and make me feel safe,” Elise says. “I just love all the little kids. I would consider my time on the board successful even if I only helped one kid realize that they loved to do something, like judging or fitting.”

Giving back to the breed that had a huge influence on her life was the inspiration for Kristin as she ran for the board. Kristin says the Hereford breed brought her closer to her older sisters, Lindsay and Kara, as well as bonding her and her dad together.

“This breed itself has done so much for me,” Kristin says. “It’s shaped me as a person and it’s brought my family extremely close together. Without the idea of the Hereford family, my family might not be as close as we are today. I want for all these kids to have that same experience. (I want them to) have these experiences with each other and grow with their families and get all these friendships. I wanted to give back to the association that has done so much for me and has helped build me as a person and given me opportunities to grow. I want to show kids that it’s possible through this association.”

It was friendship that brought Jason to the board. After becoming friends with Brady and hearing his plan to run for the board, Jason was inspired to run as well.

“When he said he was going to run, I thought maybe we should do it together,” Jason says. “I’ve always recognized the board members and how much they meant to this association and how much they do for the kids and I wanted to be able to give back to everybody who had given so much to me.”

Looking up to the board of directors was also part of what spurred Brady to run, in addition to his experience in the NJHA and at the JNHE.

“The board members over the years had been the people I had looked up to the most,” Brady says. “When you combine that with the experiences I had as a junior member, the NJHA

has impacted my life in a way that is truly unimaginable.”

Looking backThe four say their memories from their years on the NJHA board are priceless as well as countless. While Kristin swears sometimes all they did was laugh, she also adds that the sense of accomplishment of being able to look out on a grand drive and know that this is the breed she represents tops the list. For Elise, traveling all across the country to cattle shows and helping young Hereford enthusiasts are some of the brightest memories. But the times spent together as a board always serve as a highlight.

“The friendships I’ve made from being on the board, getting to know each other and their life stories, it’s been amazing the whole way through,” Jason says. “It’s amazing how many people can become your best friends that I never would’ve even met if it hadn’t been for this experience.”

Brady agreed, saying his favorite memories come from the times when just the 12 board members were together and bonding as a team. Spending three years working tirelessly side-by-side with someone will certainly build team camaraderie, but for this board class, they became more than just colleagues.

Elise Hackett is the 21-year-old daughter of Dave and Marcia Hackett, Tuscola, Ill. Her fellow board members say she is determined, proud, helpful and kind. She will be a senior studying animal science pre-vet at the University of Illinois. The retiring communications chair and former fundraising chair has been a member of the NJHA since she was 6 and has attended multiple JNHEs and PRIDE Conventions in addition to competing in numerous contests.

Director of Youth Activities Amy Cowan says that Elise was always very involved in the mentor program and, along with Kristin Bielema, was instrumental in starting the newcomer orientation. She says Elise was always there for the youngest of Hereford showmen to lend a helping hand.

Elise says those who want to be on the board one day should find their passion and run with it and set their goals high. Elise gives thanks for the Illinois juniors and their families, her family and the NJHA membership as a whole.

“I think that I have them to thank the most,” Elise says. “They’re the ones that chose me and put their trust in me to lead their organization and I don’t think that there’s anything else that I could say to them beyond thank you. I feel honored that they chose me to be one of their leaders.” Brady congratulates his sister, Brooke, for being

elected to the NJHA board.


“They’ve helped me grow into something I don’t think I ever could’ve been without them,” Kristin says. “I love you guys. I don’t know what I would do without you. Elise is like my sister. Brady and Jason, they’re like the brothers I never had. I love them to death but sometimes we’ve got to kick their butts into gear. But they all have taught me a lot; we’ve come a long way. It’s been a long haul in the last three years but we pushed through it and we’ve accomplished a lot. It’s been an honor. It’s been incredible. It’s only been three years but we’ve done a lot and moved a lot of mountains. We built a path for people to move more mountains.”

Saying thank you to the rest of his team, Brady says they were class-act people, who worked their tails off to better the NJHA.

Elise says, “They have been my life for the past three years. They have honestly taught me so much, not only about the Hereford breed, but also about myself. Thank you for running, thank you for serving with me, thank you for taking me in. They have truly changed my life and I’m really happy I have the fond memories with them, I wouldn’t have wanted to share them with anyone else.”

While their time on the board is over, the importance of their experience will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Kristin says being on

the board meant the world to her and was an unforgettable opportunity.

Elise says. “This experience has done so much for me. It’s introduced me to some of my best friends, people that will be my bridesmaids. It’s been a great ride, meeting all of the junior members, parents and adult members from across the country. And learning about the Hereford breed has honestly helped shape me into who I am today. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”

While the ability to travel all over the country and to make lifetime connections topped the experience for Jason, the people are what he says he’ll miss the most.

“I’m going to miss the people,” Jason says. “Every time you try to walk by in a maroon coat, you get stopped and told how good of a job you’re doing or how proud they are of you and getting that and realizing how much people believe in this junior program and how much they believe in the board is unreal. It just doesn’t happen to everybody. A normal kid doesn’t get told how great this program is.”

For Brady, the experience was beyond words.

“I really don’t know if I can answer what this board has meant to me right now,” Brady says. “Ask me in 10 to 20 years and I might be able to tell you. Right now, I can tell you

the people I have been granted the opportunity to meet and get to know on such a personal level from all across the country is what I love and those people mean more to me than they realize. It meant the absolute entire world to me.”

Jason May is the 22-year-old son of Mark and Ann May, Randolph, Minn. The retiring fundraising chair will be a senior studying animal science at South Dakota State University this fall. Described by his fellow board members as charismatic, hard-working and friendly, Jason has shown cattle for 14 years and has been coming to the JNHE since 2009. He has been a member of the Minnesota Junior Hereford Breeders for seven years and served as president in 2011-2012.

“I met Jason when he ran for a director position and he hasn’t missed a beat since and I couldn’t be prouder of the things he has accomplished as an individual in his three short years on the board,” says Amy Cowan, director of youth activities.

“He brought loads of enthusiasm to the board and a sincere passion for the breed and most importantly the youth. He loved nothing more than to meet as many junior members as he could and he left his mark across the nation as he travelled and represented the NJHA board at shows and events.”

While he first thought contests “were bogus,” Jason urges juniors who hope to one day serve on the board to do as many contests as they can because of the communication skills they build. Jason gives thanks to his family, John and Melody McCurry, the Jensen family, Keith and Danny Fawcett, and Tony Marthaler.

Kristin says that being able to help all of the junior members, especially the youngest ones, has been her favorite part of being on the board.



Handing it downAs they came full circle back to Grand Island, they were faced with the moment of handing down their jackets and the responsibility of leading the NJHA to four new deserving candidates. For Brady, whose little sister Brooke ran for the board this year, it was an especially great moment.

“I was just finishing up my retiring address and already knew I was getting the opportunity to pass the jacket on to my sister so I was so excited for her chance to get to serve the board. Just realizing I was handing my jacket over to someone so ready to serve the organization made the feeling a little easier,” Brady says.

For the others, coming to the end of their journey was hard but not without its bright spots, as well.

“It’s hard to believe that three years have gone by,” Elise says. “It’s very bittersweet but I’m excited that I can finally be with my family and my cattle again. I’m going to miss this. I’m going to miss all the kids but I’m still here for another year.”

Having his whole family present at the awards ceremony for the first time made the experience better for Jason.

“It was sad and I tried my hardest not to tear up but I did,” Jason says. “But getting to experience it with my family was pretty amazing. This was the first time they’ve all been at the show so that was pretty cool. Getting to do it with my good friend from back home Tony (Marthaler) the whole way through and having all these supporters who’ve been there along the way with me that night was pretty cool.”

In handing down their jackets, they also offered advice to the board members who would follow in their footsteps. Kristin reminds future board members to stay on top of their schedules and to communicate with their fellow board members.

“Encourage each other; a family works best together when it’s helping each other. It’s hard to have twelve big, independent, leader personalities in a room,” Kristin says. “Learn to be a follower, as well as a leader. You can

do a lot by being a supporter of the rest of the board and the ideas that they have.”

Brady encouraged current and future board members to keep climbing their mountains and always to keep improving. Elise reminded juniors that while this job can be tough, they should never forget to have fun and to make the most of every opportunity.

“You have to be flexible, because those who are flexible are never bent out of shape,” Elise says. “Board members have to remember that there is not a single person running this organization. This is a group of highly qualified members and one person isn’t going to get all the credit, so don’t expect that. You’ll have to work as a team. Don’t let anything pass you by because these three years go by so fast. Before you realize it, you’re going to have to hand your jacket off and you’ll have so much more that you wanted to do.”

Jason gave simple but straightforward advice for those set to follow in his shoes.

“Learn how to live with no sleep and get comfortable boots,” Jason says. HW

Brady Jensen is the 22-year-old son of Kevin and Sheila Jensen, Courtland, Kan. The retiring chairman is described by his fellow board members as passionate, eloquent and focused. Brady graduated from Kansas State University in May with a degree in animal science and industry and agriculture economics.

He has been a member of the NJHA since he was 7 and has exhibited at all but one JNHE. His honors in the NJHA range from being named Junior Herdsman of the Year to winning champion or reserve champion showman in every age group. He also served as the NJHA membership chair.

Director of Youth Activities Amy Cowan describes Brady as a true leader and an outside-the-box thinker. She says she remembers him at his first JNHE and how he embraced the NJHA chairman role at his last JNHE.

“From the trailer parking lot to the judging contest arena, clear through to his retiring remarks at the awards ceremony, Brady took a professional approach and his Hereford pride was evident every step of the way for our retiring chairman,” Amy says.

Brady says future board hopefuls should run early in their junior career, and running for the board will be a rewarding experience. While Brady says the entire NJHA is to be commended for supporting the board, he offers special thanks to Amy Cowan and Bailey Clanton for all the hard work they put in, along with his family.

“My parents and family are the best support system one single person could ask for,” Brady says.

Elise was inspired to run for the board by former board members who made her feel safe in the showring when she was young and now she tries to always be there for juniors while they show.


2015 Herdsman of the Year

A Herdsman’s Helping Hands

A strong work ethic and a desire to help others led to Jason May being honored as the 2015 Herdsman of the Year.

by Bridget Beran

The journey to the Hereford breed wasn’t exactly a straight line for

Jason May, Randolph, Minn. He grew up with older siblings who showed dairy cattle. When his family got their first Hereford in 1994 — an $800 heifer named Susie, whom they had until she was 16 years — Jason knew that taking care of cattle was going to be a part of his life.

“It started when I was 7 years old and my older brothers and sisters were showing cattle,” says Jason. “I was the one staying at home taking care of them and watching them all day long. I just knew that’s what I wanted to do.”

That love of caring for cattle came full circle for Jason at the 2015 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) when his peers elected him Herdsman of the

Year. It was not a surprising honor according to his friend and fellow Hereford enthusiast Tony Marthaler, who says Jason doesn’t know a stranger.

“He’s the guy that knows everybody in the barn and will stop and talk to everyone,” Tony says. “He’s really outgoing and willing to help anybody with anything, even if he doesn’t know you. He’s very friendly and always tries to be helpful.”

Tony would know better than most because

he’s been traveling with Jason since Jason’s first JNHE. They grew up just 15 miles down the road from each other and showed together in 4-H and FFA. In 2009, Jason had a heifer he wanted to take to JNHE. Jason’s parents, Mark and Ann May, asked Tony to go with Jason, partially to keep an eye on him but mostly because Jason wasn’t even old enough to drive. It was at this first JNHE when Jason became hooked on the Hereford breed.

Finding a family“I love the people and the connections that you make,” Jason says. “You really make a family within the breed. We didn’t go with our family and people would take care of us or give us a meal or check up on us. It made the breed stand out to me like nothing else. The people are so caring and honest and would help you with whatever you need.”

The Hereford family has kept him coming back every year since and even inspired him to run for the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) board of directors in 2012. His involvement in the breed was always centered on the cattle and the people.

“I love getting to sit in the barn at JNHE, talking to old friends and meeting new ones,” Jason says. “I’ve also enjoyed getting to travel to as many places as I have. I’ve been to 35 states and I’m just 22 years old.”

Making connections is one of the things he encourages young cattlemen to do as well, saying juniors should surround themselves with good people and know that the connections they make will affect them more than they could ever imagine. This is certainly true in Jason’s life. He cites John and Melody McCurry, Burrton, Kan., as some of his greatest role models and mentors. He worked for the McCurry family while he was attending Hutchinson Community College, where he was a part of the livestock judging team. He also interned for the McCurrys during the summer of 2013.

“His work ethic is admirable,” John Presenting Jason May with the Herdsman of the Year award was the 2014 Herdsman, Cody Beck, Bainbridge, Ind.


says. “He’s always looking ahead to what needs to be done, instead of always having to be told what to do. He has a desire to succeed and is constantly setting a goal, working hard until he gets there and then setting another one. He’s a nonstop goer. He’s a great kid and doesn’t know a stranger. He wants to give back to the younger kids in agriculture as much as anybody his age.”

Being able to give back to juniors was something that became increasingly important to Jason as he got older and involved in the board. Jackson Neil, Northfield, Minn., grew up five miles down the road from Jason and credits him for helping to get him involved in the NJHA.

“He’s helped me as a mentor, helping me get better as a fitter, as well as being my friend,” Jackson says. “He is someone that is always willing to help anybody, you just have to ask him. He’s very involved in the Hereford breed and he enjoys helping younger people and getting them to learn more.”

Value of dedicationFor Jason, dedication is central to the advice he gives future cattlemen. While he says that he didn’t always have the best cattle, there wasn’t going to be anyone who outworked him.

“It takes the hours and the time,” Jason explains. “It doesn’t just come, you’ve got to be willing to spend the hours in the barn. Don’t give up when you’re last in class. I’ve been there, and I’ve seen it. We fought to not be last in class a lot of times. Let it push you to work harder for the next year.”

Jason is known for his work ethic, pushing himself to be better and to work harder for many years.

“He’s been working his butt off for the last seven years and became a board member and kept trying to go up and up and up in the industry,” Tony says. “He’s made a lot of relationships with people and he’s trying to get into the top of the industry. He’s become a lot

more responsible and self-reliant. He’s always working on his own, learned a lot of prioritizing and time-management. He’s developed social skills. He used to just be a little 15-year-old kid running around the fair and now he’s working with some of the biggest producers in the industry. I’m really proud of him and I’m glad I could be along for the ride.”

This summer, Jason worked for Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch, Ree Heights, S.D., where he plans to return after graduating from South Dakota State University in December.

He says long-term he hopes to have his own operation to sell cattle to juniors to show, though that plan is still a while into the future. For now, he wants to help as many juniors have a good experience as possible and to show them the same opportunities that he received during his time in the NJHA.

Working at Fawcett’s has been a perfect fit for Jason, and he cites Daniel Fawcett, 2014 American Hereford Association (AHA) Hereford Herdsman of the Year, as one of his role models.

As a member of the National Junior Hereford Association board of directors, Jason emceed opening ceremonies at the Junior National Hereford Expo.

“In my life at the

moment, I have two

major goals: to win

junior herdsman and

senior herdsman. …

So I’m halfway there.”

— Jason May


2015 Herdsman of the Year

“When I started working for them and seeing the passion this family has for this breed and the industry, it was an easy decision to come here,” Jason says. “It’s a good place to be and to start off to make a name for myself. They’re caring people who are down to earth and will respect you as much as you respect them.”

John McCurry says that Jason’s exposure to larger operations, like his and Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch, has been beneficial in giving Jason a broader perspective on the business.

Jason says, “I’ll always remember Shane Bedwell’s speech at JNHE about turning a cow into a show heifer, instead of turning a show heifer into a cow. I learned at Fawcett’s that maybe 10% of the herd is bred to be show cows. The industry revolves around cows, not show cows. You have to consider how she’s going to work, not how she’s going to win. It’s a lot easier to turn a good female into a show heifer.”

These lessons will be especially helpful now that his junior career is over and he transitions into AHA membership. However, Jason says he’ll remember his youth career fondly though the end was bittersweet.

“It was tough knowing that it was all over,” Jason says. “It was hard to really realize it until the final day. It brought back a lot of memories, both good times and bad. Having my whole family there for the first time was really cool though, so I could experience the last junior show our family will have together.”

Though it may be the end of the road, Jason certainly went out on a high note, achieving a lofty goal.

“It means an awful lot to me,” Jason says. “In my life at the moment, I have two major goals: to win junior herdsman and senior herdsman. You know you’ve accomplished a lot and people respect you and have noticed how much time and effort you’ve put in to the work you do. So I’m halfway there.” HW

Congratulations to these Herdsman of the Year finalists:

Joel Butler is the 22-year-old son of Jimmy and Andrea Butler. A native of Republic, Mo., Joel will graduate from Missouri State University in December and will return to complete his master’s degree. He has competed successfully on the national level in the showring, including exhibiting the national champion bull at the 2012 American Royal, as well as many division champions at other national shows. Joel has also been named a top 10 showman at several Junior National Hereford Expos (JNHE). He credits Kyle and Drew Perez, Cody and Dereck Washam, and Gary Buchholz, as well as his father, for mentoring him in the cattle industry.

Matt Johnson, Cambridge, Ill., is the 21-year-old son of Royce and Kathy Johnson. Matt will be a senior at the University of Illinois. He has been exhibiting Hereford cattle for 14 years. In 2015 he exhibited the reserve grand bred-and-owned heifer at the Illinois preview show. He lists making the top 10 senior showmen at the 2012 , 2013 and 2015 JNHEs as his proudest accomplishments, as well as showing the reserve champion polled heifer at the 2012 Illinois State Fair. Matt says both of his parents are his role models and his mentors. Matt was the champion senior showman at the 2015 JNHE.

Austin Matheny is the 19-year-old son of Andrew and Suzanne Matheny. A native of Mays Lick, Ky., Austin will be a sophomore at Kansas State University this fall. He has been showing Hereford cattle for 12 years and this was his ninth JNHE. Austin was the recipient of the 2014 Bluegrass and Buckeye scholarship. Austin noted winning an owned class with a bred-and-owned heifer at the last JNHE and bringing her back to exhibit this year as one of his proudest accomplishments. He was named champion senior showman at the Kentucky preview show and was the 2006 champion peewee showman at JNHE. Austin says his father, along with Charlie Boyd Sr. and Dennis Birdsall, have served as his mentors over the years.

Harrison McMahon, Ayr, Neb., is the 21-year-old son of Brian and Jill McMahon. He graduated from the John Deere program in applied sciences in 2014.

2015 Senior Showman

Game FaceGrand champion senior showman Matt Johnson is serious about showing and the Hereford breed.

by Allison Fortner

The pressure built as judges strolled past the fitting chutes in the

showring, meticulously observing the top 10 senior Hereford exhibitors in the country, but Matt Johnson was wearing his game face.

With a stony gaze filled with confidence and determination, Matt fit his heifer, putting to use the knowledge he has been building since first stepping into the showring at age 7.

Now 21 years old, Matt counted down the 45 minutes designated for fitting, carefully keeping time on his wristwatch. “Five minutes for each leg, five minutes on top, five minutes on the belly, five minutes on each of the sides, five minutes at the end to finish up…and walk her out in the ring.”

However, walking out into the ring did not signal the end of the intense competition that warm June 30 afternoon. Exhibitors led their cattle into position and waited for results. The four judges observed,

consulted in hushed tones and filled in the score sheets holding the answers that exhibitors and the audience were anxiously waiting to hear.

After a half hour of exhibitors standing nervously in the ring with showsticks in hand, the judges passed the sheets to the stage for scoring. Final numbers were added, and judge Jara Settles began to give closing comments.

One by one judges congratulated the finalists, from 10th place to third. The tension and anticipation in the Five Points Bank Arena finally climaxed when Jara slapped Matt’s heifer and shook his hand, congratulating him as the grand champion senior showman.

Matt’s self-described “death glare” broke, and he allowed his emotions to show for the first time in more than an hour and a half. A huge grin broke on his face and a wave of emotion overcame him as he realized he had finally accomplished his long-set goal.

Clapping, cheers and congratulations rang out across the arena for Matt as he met his mother in a celebratory embrace at the edge of the showring, which is not surprising, considering Matt’s love for the Hereford breed is rooted in his family.

A fourth-generation Johnson Farms Hereford breeder from Cambridge, Ill., Matt has always been passionate about the breed and the people of the Hereford industry. He’s no rookie to the Hereford or exhibitor game.

In celebration of his victory at the edge of the showring, Matt hugs his mother, Kathy. Showmanship judge Jara Settles selects Matt as grand champion senior showman.

“Honestly,” he confesses, when asked about how he prepared for the 2015 Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE), “I’ve been preparing my whole life.”

Family influenceHis sister, Jill, began showing when she was eligible, and Matt soon followed, even before he was old enough to be a member of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA).

“My dad got me a heifer anyway,” Matt recalls, “because I didn’t like just tagging along. I wanted to be involved.” He showed in open shows before becoming a member of the NJHA and the Illinois Junior Hereford Association, as he has been for the past 13 years.

However, Matt is not afraid to acknowledge that his showmanship career did not begin with a winning streak. “From a young age, I didn’t have the most success,” Matt admits, “but along the way, I was doing my own work. I feel that I learned a lot from it and it actually made me a more talented individual today.”

Matt attributes his success in recent years to commitment and a work ethic that he learned from his father, Royce Johnson. “I would say he’s the one that really instilled a very hard work ethic in me from a young age,” says Matt, naming his father as one of his role models.

Full scheduleMatt’s work ethic is evident in the fact that he stays busy helping manage the herd at Johnson Farms while also juggling academics. He is beginning his senior year at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where he is a crop science major with a concentration in crop agribusiness.

Matt serves as the historian for the alpha chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity and the president of the campus Hoof & Horn Club, while maintaining a small grains research position on the campus farms.

With a life full of commitments, Matt is grateful for his mother, Kathy Johnson, and the support she has given him in all of his endeavors, especially in the past year.

Before attending UIUC, Matt earned his associate degree in agricultural science from Black Hawk College East Campus, a school located close to home. Transferring colleges in August 2014 meant managing his show heifer when he came home on weekends and relying on his mother for help throughout the week.

Matt credits his mother with being a tremendous help to him, no matter the circumstances. Kathy was happy to help and couldn’t be more proud of her son and his JNHE accomplishments.

“He’s going out really good in his last year showing,” Kathy beams. “We’re still smiling. I think we’re going to smile a long time over this one.”

Kathy is also thankful for the way showing provided an opportunity for her family to work together and to develop strong friendships within the Hereford community.

The peopleWith resilient bonds formed in the barns, it isn’t surprising that Matt’s favorite aspect of

showing is the people. Matt values the friendships he has made over the years with people from across Illinois and the U.S. and looked forward to catching up with those people during JNHE.

The relationships formed are valuable, and Matt is thankful to the breeders who have given him the opportunity to help them over the years. “Having someone trust you to work on their livestock is huge,” he says, “and that has made me a much better all-around cattleman.”

During the past four years, Matt has worked closely with Kyle and Jodi McMillan and their daughter, Lauren, of Rustic Oaks Farm, both at their

It’s all business waiting for results in the last moments of the showmanship finals.

Matt puts the finishing touches on one of his heifer’s legs during the fitting portion of the showmanship finals.

ranch and while traveling to shows. “Matt sets himself apart by focusing

on the task at hand and doing it almost to a degree of perfection,” says Kyle, who counts working with Matt as a pleasure and a blessing.

However, Matt’s admirable qualities reach beyond his dedication to working with show cattle. “One of the other things that sets Matt apart is his strength of character,” Kyle adds. “He is always trying to do the right thing, and in this day in age, that’s not always the case with young people.”

The McMillans consider him a part of the family, and Matt is grateful for the doors they have opened for him and considers Kyle one of his foremost mentors.

In addition to passing on knowledge about feeding show cattle, Kyle has taught Matt numerous small details. “If someone is able to show you the small details that can set you apart from the competition, that’s what really makes or breaks showing livestock,” says Matt.

Preparing for JNHEDetermined to make it showing livestock, Matt traveled with the McMillans to the 2015 JNHE with four goals in mind. He aspired to have a spot in the top 10 in senior showmanship, to succeed in the team fitting contest, to win a division in the bred-and-owned heifer show and to have the heifer with the best hair in the barn. Matt’s success certainly reached beyond his showmanship achievement.

Besides his victory in senior showmanship, Matt was the senior member of the Illinois team in the Sullivan Supply and Stock Show University fitting contest, in which he and his fellow team members took home first place.

While he did not receive a division banner, Matt’s heifer won Class 49 in the

bred-and-owned show, and he was happy with her overall placement in a tough division.

Finally, Matt put in hours of time and effort into his hair care management program and laughs, “It’s hard to measure if I had the hairiest heifer. There are a lot of hairy ones in there, but I feel that mine is up there at the top of that list.”

During the showmanship competition, judges noticed and commented on his heifer’s excellent hair. When prompted for his hair tricks, Matt says he may have a few secrets, but the key is dedication to working at it every day.

While he has his own specially mixed recipes for hair care products, his favorite tools are a garden hose and a brush. “All you need is water and a lot of brushing,” teaches Matt, encouraging other exhibitors to maintain their cattle’s hair daily at home.

There is no doubt that this attention to detail gave him an advantage in the showmanship competition. “I know showmanship is about showing the calf, but having a very well-presented animal can put you ahead of the rest sometimes,” he explains in regards to his laborious hair growing efforts.

Advice for exhibitorsBut hair care advice is not all of the wisdom Matt wishes to pass on to younger exhibitors. He reminds them to stay calm and collected while in the showring and to avoid all distractions. “It’s you, your animal

and the judge,” he puts simply. “Go out there and get in the zone.”

However, Matt emphasizes that showmanship starts at home with practice. Instead of showing up and expecting showmanship to go well, Matt says it is imperative to work with a calf enough to walk her into position without using the stick.

Finally, he encourages exhibitors to glean from the expertise of those around them. “That’s what I feel has helped me out the most,” Matt reflects, “surrounding myself with people I trust and people I can learn from and just watching, learning, asking questions and practicing at home.”

On any given show day, Matt can be found in the barn picking up fitting jobs and working with the kids around him, trying to pass on his knowledge and to aid them in success.

Noah Benedict, Dewey, Ill., has known Matt for four years and not only has learned fitting and hair care techniques from him but has also benefited from his leadership skills. “I admire his willingness to be a role model, set the tone and lead by example,” Noah says.

Looking forwardWhile this was Matt’s fourth and final JNHE as an exhibitor, he knows it won’t be his last in attendance.

“I’ve had people that have taught me a lot over the years and I try to pass that on to the younger ones as much as I can to try and make them be the best they can be.”

Matt doesn’t plan on leaving the Hereford business either. He plans to have a herd of Hereford cattle for the rest of his life as he takes over the herd at home.

“Someday, if I have children, I want them to have the same opportunities I did and be able to exhibit Hereford cattle at the national level if they’re interested,” says Matt.

No longer wearing his game face, Matt smiles with eagerness to see where his passion for the Hereford industry will take him and how he can help others along the way. HW

2015 Advisor of the Year

Grimmel-Wolfrey Named Advisor of the Yearby Bridget Beran

Cheerleader. Supporter. Photographer. E-mail master.

These are just a few words the members of the Maryland Junior Hereford Association (MJHA) use to describe their advisor, Michelle Grimmel-Wolfrey, Jarrettsville, Md.. Dedicated to serving the juniors of Maryland since 2005, Michelle was honored with the Advisor of the Year award at the 2015 VitaFerm Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Grand Island, Neb.

A first-generation Hereford breeder, Michelle’s father grew up on a dairy farm in the mid-80s and took part in a government buyout to become a grain farmer. While the Grimmels bought some beef cows to graze the pastures, the 5,000 acres of corn, wheat and soybeans, along with a produce stand, made up most of their operation. However, when Michelle was 10 years old they got their first Hereford heifer, and the herd has been growing since then.

Michelle and her sisters — Kristen, Lindsey, Melissa and Madelyn — have owned Grimmel Girls Show Cattle since 1991. Melissa got involved in the MJHA and National Junior Hereford

Association when she was young, and Michelle went right with her. When they went to the 2005 JNHE in Milwaukee, Wis., Michelle helped to coordinate flights and hotels for the MJHA. Its current advisor was stepping down, and several parents asked Michelle if she would be interested in taking the position. Ten years later, her juniors nominated her for Advisor of the Year.

“I was completely mind blown,” Michelle says. “It’s just getting recognition for all your hard work. It’s also nice to show my kids that Maryland’s not invisible and that someone from Maryland can achieve something that big. It lets them see that you don’t have to be from a big state with hundreds of kids or cattle to be recognized.”

Little state, big presenceThough Maryland is the second smallest state by acreage in attendance at the JNHE, Maryland’s junior members still entered almost 50 head of cattle. Under the guidance of Michelle, they had 55 juniors and more than 100 head of cattle at the 2014 JNHE in Harrisburg, Pa. Getting that kind of turnout was no easy feat.

In preparation for the closest JNHE in many years, Michelle sent out letters to all the Extension agents in Maryland to inform them that one of the largest junior shows in the country was going to be down the road. She also mobilized her juniors, encouraging them to talk to their 4-H clubs about the JNHE and to tell them about the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity which they had a chance to be a part of. Preparing those kids for a show the scale of the JNHE was another situation all together.

“We were starting out with all of these kids who had only gone to a country fair and that was it. We were trying to teach them what they needed to do and preparing them for the showring and stalling and getting them to JNHE,” Michelle explains. “Seeing them and their stalls and cattle and

the way that they showed, they looked like they’d been doing it for years and that was something I was very proud of. They really took the information we gave them to heart and used it.”

While she says there were some challenges in going back to basics with people who had never shown on that scale, seeing the turnout and getting so many new people to experience the JNHE was more than worth the work, Michelle says. Encouraging people to go to the JNHE is nothing new to Michelle or the MJHA. To get cattle the 20-or-more-hour drive to most JNHEs, Maryland rents a semi and trailer to haul many of its exhibitors’ cattle, which also allows far more juniors to show.

“Taking the pot gave us the opportunity to come out here all those years ago because not everyone has the ability to go otherwise,” Michelle says.

If MJHA members participate in three club fundraisers, they can put their cattle on the trailer for free and they only have to worry about getting themselves to the JNHE. Half of the cattle exhibited by MJHA members came to Grand Island on that trailer and it allows the MJHA to have a much bigger presence than many coastal states.

“That’s our big thing that we pride ourselves on,” Michelle says. “Anyone can go to junior nationals. You don’t have to have a lot of money. You don’t have to have the best animals. I tell our kids the quality of your animal only matters for

Bailey Clanton, American Hereford Association national shows coordinator and youth activities assistant, presents Michelle Grimmel-Wolfrey with the Advisor of the Year Award.

Maryland juniors say they can always count on Michelle to be ringside to capture the perfect photo.


10 minutes when you’re here, the time you’re in the showring, that’s it. The rest of the time you’re doing contests, you’re playing with your friends, you’re meeting new people. That’s the important part. We just want to give every kid the opportunity to come to JNHE and that’s what we’re all about.”

The experiences her juniors get from attending the JNHE are invaluable to Michelle and she encourages them all to get everything out of the experience that they can.

“I love watching the kids throughout the week of junior nationals,” Michelle says. “I’ve enjoyed seeing how the kids from different counties who don’t know each other at all become best friends. I saw it happen with my sister, Melissa. She was the very shy peewee who didn’t talk to anybody and now everyone knows who she is and she has friends from all over the country. She’s going into a career in this industry because of going to JNHE.”

Constant supportMaryland juniors refer to Michelle as their cheerleader because she brings a lot of enthusiasm to their association and tries to encourage everyone. From telling them good luck as they head to the ring to taking photos ringside, being there for her juniors is at the top of Michelle’s priority list.

“It speaks volumes about Michelle’s character in caring about the youth

and their success,” Mary Bowen, Sunderland, Md., wrote in her letter to nominate Michelle for Advisor of the Year. “She is a cheerleader for all members, whether it be at our preview show or the member’s own county fair.”

Mary’s children are members of the MJHA and she said that Michelle’s dedication to MJHA members has been unwavering. When the Bowen family’s home burned down in 2010, Michelle made a point to reach out to their children and to encourage MJHA members to lend a hand in whatever way they could.

“Michelle is an excellent role model,” Mary wrote. “She has a passion for the cattle industry and she tries very hard to teach the junior members as much as she can. She is very patient in answering the members’ questions about breeding cattle and how to show them.”

That patience comes from a deep understanding of what it’s like to not know. When Michelle and her sister Kristen started showing Hereford cattle, Michelle says they had no clue what they were doing.

“We have pictures of us in the showring and our show sticks were upside down. It was a disaster. We got knocked down several times in the ring,” Michelle says. “We learned from asking people or people coming up and offering us advice. We do as well we do because of the other breeders in our state, and throughout the

country as well, helping us and giving us little tips along the way. I try to do the same thing with our younger or newer kids. If I see a kid who wants to do it but is struggling or a little sad or down because they didn’t do well, I’ll go up to them and talk to them and say ‘Hey look Melissa was the same way’ or ‘I was the same way.’ We were in that position. So I tell them ‘if you set your mind to something, you can do anything.’”

Encouraging her junior members to be better is one of the things that makes her such a great advisor, according to member Tucker Schmidt, Taneytown, Md.

“She takes her own time to do the things that many advisors would dismiss as trivial or meaningless, such as making sure each and every person helps out,” Tucker wrote in his nomination letter. “Whether it was in the barn with my animals or outside of showing, Michelle has enabled me to be a better person and guided me to be a role model for those younger than me or with less experience.”

Her communication with her juniors has helped the MJHA grow during the 10 years that she has been the advisor, which Mary commended. Michelle recommends other advisors also work to communicate with the parents and kids in their states.

“Talk to some of the parents, especially the ones who have been doing it for a while, and see what works,” Michelle says. “Talk to the kids as well. Let them have their input and explain to them why you make the decisions that you do.”

Whether she’s in the barns or watching ringside, Michelle always tries to put her junior members first and for that, they’re grateful.

“Michelle has done wonders for this association,” Tucker says. “She is an extremely kind and caring individual who puts the needs of the association before her own to benefit the juniors. I have a hard time putting into words everything Michelle does for our association and I can’t think of where we would be without her.” HW

Michelle waits in the make-ready area with her younger sister Melissa Grimmel as she prepares to go into the ring.


2015 JNHE Service Project

Lending a Helping HoofHereford youth collect school supplies for Howard Elementary School, Grand Island, Neb.

by Bridget Beran

Since 2012, National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members have

taken the opportunity to do something for others while at the Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). Started by 2012 National Hereford Queen Amanda Bacon, Helping Hooves is a service project that is led each year by the National Hereford Queen. The project traditionally collects charitable items for the community that is hosting the JNHE.

This year National Hereford Queen Katie Nolles, Bassett, Neb., led the effort to collect school supplies for Howard Elementary School, Grand Island, Neb. With more than 800 juniors and their families present in Grand Island, Hereford youth collected 126 lb. of school supplies, including pencils, scissors and glue sticks.

“I am deeply impressed with the NJHA members and their families

who donated school supplies to the Helping Hooves project,” Katie says. “Since JNHE was in my home state, I got to visit the school when I dropped the supplies off. While I was visiting with the principal, she informed me they have a 90% poverty rate among their students and that they receive

many calls asking for help to provide supplies. I did not know that when I selected the school, and now I know that I made the right decision.”

Katie says taking the project in this direction was important to her because of how much she values education and helping provide students with all of the necessities they need to be successful in school.

“The students and staff were so grateful to receive our donations,” Katie says. “They make the school such a positive learning environment. It is a unique and satisfactory feeling to know that we played a part in providing important materials for these students to succeed.”

She also made a point to include agriculture in the service project, looking to give back while also educating children about where their food comes from.

“The Nebraska Beef Council donated fun fact sheets about cattle so the students will also get some agriculture knowledge along with their supplies,” Katie says. “This experience has opened my eyes more to see the needs of local communities. Each of us has the ability to make a difference and when we listen to what people really need, we make great things happen.” HW

For the first Helping Hooves service project, Amanda Bacon, 2012 National Hereford Queen, asked juniors to collect toiletry items from hotels that they visited throughout the year. In the first year alone, Hereford youth donated more than 1,100 items to Hope Harbor homeless shelter in Grand Island, Neb.

In the following year, youth collected 2,424 items to donate to Hope House homeless shelter in Kansas City, Mo. In 2014, then National Hereford Queen Brooke Jensen, Courtland, Kan., took the project in a different direction, choosing to collect pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House Charities, and youth were able to collect 78 lb. of pop tabs. Hereford youth and their families continually show their generosity and desire to give back to the communities that host the Junior National Hereford Expo each summer. HW

2015 Show Champions

Steer Champions Selected

Christopher Shelton, Frederick, Md., exhibited

the reserve grand champion steer at the 2015 VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Grand Island, Neb., July 1. The steer show was sponsored by Upstream Ranch, Taylor, Neb.

Judge Matt Leo, Le Grand, Calif., sorted 107 steers to find the winner and said, “I’ve gotten to see some great steers today. There’s a lot of quality in this final drive and back in the stalls.”

Shelton’s reserve grand champion steer, DEP Good & Plenty 1420 ET, sired by DEP Good & Plenty ET weighed 1,318 lb., and had a weight per day average (WDA) of 2.88.

In the prospect steer show, Ben Jensen, Courtland, Kan., exhibited the champion. KJ Wildcat 164B weighed 928 lb. and is a son of KJ BJ 544T Power Cat 431Y. Reserve prospect honors went to Walker Dunn, Cochranton, Pa. His steer, CFCC Bo

42B, weighed 948 lb. and is sired by CFCC Rango 56Y ET.

At check-in, ultrasound data was collected on the progress steers, including ribeye area, backfat thickness and marbling score, and a yield grade and carcass weight were estimated.

Based on that data, Waylon Lee, Wellington, Ill., earned champion carcass steer honors with his 1,258-lb. steer by LCC Back N Time ET. The steer scanned with a ribeye area of 14.1, 0.41 backfat, 4.46 marbling score with a calculated 2.67 yield grade and a carcass weight of 780 lb.

Barber, Meeks Show Winning Bulls

Bryden Barber, Channing, Texas, exhibited the grand champion

bred-and-owned bull and Carlee Meeks, Taylor, Neb., showed the reserve grand champion at the 16th annual VitaFerm® JNHE in Grand Island, Neb., July 1. The bred-and-owned bull show was sponsored by Curtis and Jackie Castle, Crawford, Okla.

Judge Matt Leo, Le Grand, Calif., sorted 107 bulls to name the champions and said he was impressed by the quality of the bulls presented. He added, “The quality out here among the cattle we’ve seen was truly breathtaking from top to bottom.”

Barber’s exceptional bull that won grand and division V champion was BR

Nitro Aventus 3116 ET, a September 2013 son of UPS TCC Nitro 1ET that showed with expected progeny differences (EPDs) of birth weight (BW) 5.0; weaning weight (WW) 66; yearling weight (YW) 111; milk (MM) 26; and milk & growth (M&G) 59. Barber’s bull was also the grand champion bull at the 2014 JNHE.

Meeks’ UPS Hometown 4190 ET was champion in division IV and reserve overall with Meeks at the halter. He is an April 2014 son of NJW 73S W18 Hometown 10Y ET and showed with EPDs of BW 3.7, WW 62, YW 110, MM 21 and M&G 52.

In the junior AI bull division, Whitney Steckel, Taylor, Neb.,

2015 Team Fitting

Illinois Takes Title in Team Fitting Competition

Teams from 24 state associations of the National Junior Hereford

Association (NJHA) demonstrated their fitting skills during the 16th Annual Vitaferm® Junior National Hereford Expo in Grand Island, Neb., June 29, competing in the Sullivan Supply and Stock Show University Team Fitting Contest.

Illinois took top honors with team members Kesler Collins, Flanagan;

Haley Bickelhaupt, Mount Carroll; and Matt Johnson, Cambridge.

The objective of the team fitting contest is to encourage team participation for the preparation of an animal for the showring. In this competition, a team of three has 45 minutes to fit a heifer for a panel of judges. One member of the team then shows the heifer.

Judges for the team fitting contest

were the 2015 American Hereford Association Hereford Herdsmen of the Year, Tom and Tammy Boatman, Rockford, Ill.

Tom says judging this competition wasn’t easy, but they started with the basics. “You have to come in with a clean animal — that’s first and foremost. And then we looked at all the little things like were all your combs in order and no teeth sticking up for a calf to step on.”

The Boatmans also focused on how teams worked together. “Another thing we put a lot of emphasis on is the senior, or the older one of the three, taking charge,” Tom explains. “We looked for good communication between those team members as they were working and keeping things organized.”

Tom says the winning team’s senior, Matt, did a great job communicating as they worked together. “They had a peewee (Kesler) pulling legs and clipping legs and a junior (Haley) clipping legs and doing the tail. They did a super job working as a team.”

Texas came in second place in the fitting competition with team members: Judd Daniels, Dalhart; Mason Allan, Schulenburg; and Austin Breeding, Miami.

The third place title went to the Nebraska team consisting of Abby Stallbaumer, Oconto; Kassidy Bremer, Fullerton; and Quin Rutt, Campbell. HW

Learning Goes Beyond the ShowringJNHE hosts educational clinics from nutrition to fitting.

The countless opportunities provided to National Junior

Hereford Association members goes well beyond the showring, and this year’s 16th Annual Vitaferm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Grand Island, Neb., once again provided a window for learning.

Sure Champ and Sullivan Supply/Stock Show University hosted highly anticipated free educational programs for all youth in attendance. These events allowed for Hereford kids to learn from and interact with industry leaders.

Sure Champ representatives Crystal Blin and Jack Oattes presented a

nutritional clinic and discussed with attendees the importance of nutrition in not only showring prep but in raising a healthy herd.

The 5 Points Bank Arena was full as Sullivan Supply/Stock Show University hosted three clinics. Stock Show University professors John Sullivan, Josh Elder and Matt Copeland, along with additional representatives, covered showmanship; team fitting strategies and fitting demonstration; and the science behind healthy, hydrated hair and how to manage fatigue and appetite on the show road. HW

The educational programs during JNHE provided youth an avenue to interact with industry leaders.

Team fitting strategies were discussed during the fitting demonstration.

2015 Food and Fellowship

Building Family Through Food and FellowshipStates find a bonding experience through cooking together at the Junior National Hereford Expo.

by Bridget Beran

The Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) has been described as

the ultimate family vacation by the hundreds of junior members and their families who attend every year. For many families, feeding their kids fair food or running to a fast-food restaurant multiple times a day just isn’t going to work. As a result, several states began combining their efforts and providing meals for their juniors.

More than mealsFor the Kansas group, dividing up the meals between the families was the ideal choice.

“Several years back, we were all making our own meals and we decided we should just help each other out,” says Amanda Davis, Kansas Junior Hereford Association advisor.

“At our state show, we usually have a sign-up sheet.”

However, there are several different ways to get everyone fed. In Illinois the Illinois Hereford Association and the Illinois Hereford Women (IHW) donate funds to support their juniors.

“We’re a very large state. We have a big group and a big following,

not only with the kids, but parents, grandparents and we’re lucky enough to have a state association that supports our kids,” says Lisa Babbs, Illinois Junior Hereford Association advisor. “The men’s association provides two meals a week every year for the JNHE and the IHW provides one meal and we try to pick the days by what’s not provided through the meal tickets.”

The bigger the state, the more coordination is needed to get the large amount of kids fed. For Texas the Texas Hereford Auxiliary and the Texas Poll-ettes came together to plan meals and feed all of the juniors from both the Texas Junior Hereford Association and the Texas Junior Polled Hereford Association. In 2004 the leadership in the Texas Hereford Auxiliary and the Texas Poll-ettes decided that it was time that they should eat as a state.

“We organized it at the state show. We always had a fantastic hospitality table at our state show and we thought we needed to carry this through and eat as a state at JNHE. Especially because the barn in Tunica was removed from the city,” Alise Nolan explains. “Texas Hereford Auxiliary and Texas Poll-ettes each gave money

Several families in Texas help get all of their hungry kids fed. Mexican food is a Texas staple.

The Nolan family hosted families from Texas, along with the National Hereford Women board of directors, for a fish fry during JNHE.


toward meals and each family gave $25 to $50 a piece.”

These days every family donates $50 or $100 if they have a bigger crew, and the money is pooled. Families who have volunteered to cook turn in grocery lists, and Alise compiles them into a comprehensive list. A few families make the trip to the grocery store in the first day or two of the JNHE and pick up everything from breakfast food to watermelons.

“I ran back on the second to last day and bought 15 watermelons,” Alise says. “It’s a tradition in Texas that we always have watermelon on the last two days.”

For Alise, southern hospitality is second nature. As president of the National Hereford Women (NHW), she hosted the NHW board, along with countless families from Texas and others who were in their campground for a fish fry during the JNHE. And she says the effect cooking and eating together has had on their state is incredible.

“It’s really built camaraderie in our state. We all come together and it’s been a group effort,” Alise says. “I can’t say enough about what it’s done for our group and the unity for us to cook together and eat together. Where can you go eat for the week, that many meals, for $50?”

Reducing costs was a big factor for Illinois and helping their families in any way was very important.

“I think it’s great because it’s an expensive trip and it brings the group together,” Lisa says. “We’re a close-knit group and we just help each other. In addition to that, we have a state table and we provide coffee and lemonade every day and volunteers provide snacks every day. It can be hard to get out and go get something to eat so if we can provide it for them, that’s what we try to do.”

Decreasing the already hectic schedule of the JNHE was also a key reason for Kansas families cooking together.

“It takes a lot of stress off if you can have the meals provided by the state because you’re usually just in charge of one instead of every meal of every day,” Amanda says. “It gets everybody involved and we get more time to spend with each other.”

Barn favoritesBut what can you make in a barn that can feed upwards of 100 people? Amanda, Lisa and Alise offer their suggestions for quick barn meals that can be done in one pot.

“We’ve found that pulled pork or brisket are good,” Amanda says. “You can also pre-cook taco meat at home and you can do lots of things with taco meat once you get here.”

In Illinois the IHW provided a breakfast with granola bars, yogurt and fruit for an easy come-and-go meal. Simplicity is also a key factor Lisa says.

“We had mostaccioli one day which was easy because we just had to have one pan and then some garlic bread,” Lisa says. “One thing we did that was really easy was hamburgers and hot dogs and then we did cheesy potatoes and baked beans. Something that you can throw in a roaster or crockpot that’s easy.”

Recipes have been tested over a series of years in Texas to figure out what works best for their kids and working around the confinements of cooking in a barn or a camper.

“It was kind of funny the first year because everything was chicken, chicken and more chicken because it was easy to cook in the roaster,” Alise says. “We would have King Ranch Chicken Enchiladas, which is my specialty, or chicken spaghetti. Sloppy joes I think was our only beef meal.”

However, they wised up and added some beef, serving tacos at the Hereford State Tailgate and making fajitas. Alise credits Monte Williams and Jeff Chaffin for taking the lead in cooking this year. She also suggests chip beef barbecue, which can be bought at Sam’s Club and warmed up, Frito pie, jambalaya, and pork roast and sweet potatoes. She also advises spraying your roaster or crockpot down with cooking spray to avoid a messy or difficult cleanup.

“If you have a main dish, a side, maybe a salad and a roll, you’ve got a great meal,” Alise says. “I encourage other states to cook with your groups. If you’re new to your state, it helps you get to know others from your state. It’s a fun time together as a group. I can’t tell you how much it made us come together as state.” HW

Whether it’s back at the RVs or at the stalls, eating as a state binds states together.

2015 Photo Contest

2015 NJHA/HW Photo Contest Results

It’s been said a photo is worth a thousand words. With the snap of

a camera shutter, a moment is frozen in time.

But, it’s not always as simple as pushing that button. Composition, lighting, sharpness and attention to detail can make a good photo great.

The National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and the Hereford World (HW) sponsor an annual contest for junior members interested in photography. This year, the contest had 180 entries in four age divisions and three categories — Hereford cattle, people and enhanced.

Judges were pleased to see the participation and interest in photography from young people. They

commented on the great quality of photos throughout the contest.

The judges agreed that the contestants showed great talent in capturing unique moments in creative settings.

The judges shared these suggestions for improvement: • In the enhanced category, it

would have been interesting to see some of the original photos. Also, make sure you do not take the edits too far.

• People category needs to focus on the person and we like to see the faces of those in the photo.

• We prefer natural shots rather than staged portraits.

• Continue to picture clean, healthy and compositionally correct cattle.

• Choose subject matter well.

• Pictures that used the rule of thirds showed more depth and drew the viewer into the photo allowing them to capture the moment more fully.

• Work to get a unique angle while capturing the moment.

• Be careful when taking close-ups not to distort.

• Do not enter a picture of a picture.

• Please do not add a signature to entries.

• No phone shots allowed.

• Please turn date and time off.

Peewee photography winners (l to r) are: Trevor Lockhart, Bryan Texas, first-place Hereford cattle; Waylon Lee, Wellington, Ill., first-place people and third-place Hereford cattle; John Crane, Utica, Ill., first-place enhanced and third-place people; Kinsley Gillig, Schuyler, Neb., second-place Hereford cattle and second-place people; and Bailey Laudeman, Bremen, Ind., third-place enhanced.

Transfers Made SimpleMyHerd.org offers online animal transfer.

by Julie White

It’s simple, efficient and keeps a little more money in their pocket-books — these are the

common remarks from American Hereford Association (AHA) members from across the country and of all ages and herd sizes

using online animal transfer. This MyHerd.org online registry system feature provides a time-saving avenue for members to transfer ownership of animals with just a few clicks, all while saving on postage and cutting back on paperwork.

“Whether you’re selling a large group of calves or a few singles, the old school way of transferring animals would have you sign the back of each registration paper and have you write down all of the contact information of each buyer,

MyHerd.org animal transfer FAQs

1. What does it cost to transfer animals with MyHerd? The cost to transfer animals on MyHerd is the same as the

traditional hard copy form; however, members will find transferring animals online to be more efficient and cost effective. Online transfers will not require purchasing postage to mail a hard copy certificate to the American Hereford Association (AHA), nor do members have to wait for the certificate to be received and transferred by the records department.

2. Does MyHerd allow members to transfer purchased animals to themselves?

MyHerd’s animal transfer feature only allows members to transfer animals to their customers. The purchased animals must be transferred by the seller on his or her MyHerd account or submitted by the buyer in hard copy form to the AHA.

3. How many animals may I transfer at a time on MyHerd? The animal transfer feature allows members to transfer up to

10 open females and bulls at a time. Bred females must be transferred one at a time with service information.

4. Does MyHerd allow jointly owned animal transfers? The animal transfer feature allows a member to transfer

ownership to more than one owner. Remember, no animal can be transferred to more than four owners at one time. A “syndicate” or similar type of entity consisting of one or more individuals, firms, etc., may be listed as one or more of the four designated owners of the records. Request a breeding share agreement form from the records department to set up a syndicate.

*The animal must be currently owned by a member of the AHA in order to be eligible for the member transfer rate. Animals owned by non-members are charged the non-member rate when transferred to a member of the AHA.

followed by sending the registration papers via snail mail,” says Marcia Mickelson of Sonoma Mountain Herefords, Santa Rosa, Calif. “This process can take a great deal of time not only for me, but for the staff at AHA to input the information. With MyHerd, I can have a calf transferred on Monday and the new registration paper is in the mail to the new owner on Tuesday.”

Efficiency goalFor this very reason, the AHA leadership and staff had online animal transfer in the plan from the beginning stages of developing MyHerd.

“The animal transfer feature in MyHerd had been thought about for a while as a way to make office operations more efficient,” says Stacy Sanders, AHA records department director. “Over time we heard more and more mentions of it from members indicating they wish that transfers could be conducted by simply sending a list of animals in with owner information. We didn’t feel like that would make AHA any more

efficient so it was decided to make it a part of the new online system as it was being developed to make this easier for members as well.”

Following their 2012 summer meeting, the AHA Board of Directors announced that an online registry system was being developed and tested with features that included online transfer of ownership.

“Efficiency wasn’t the only reason for AHA wanting to make transfers


5. If I sell an animal to a person who isn’t a member of the

AHA, can I still transfer the animal on MyHerd? The animal transfer feature allows you to add a new non-

member to the database. Once the contact information is added, a non-member account is created and the new non-member is added to the selected members box of the transfer screen.

6. How do I select the buyer in order to transfer ownership on MyHerd?

The animal transfer feature provides four options to select the buyer for transfer: personal list, member search, add non-member and linked accounts. Members can also maintain ownership on an animal by clicking the button “Add yourself as a part-owner” in the selected members box. The button

is tied to the primary account, so if you have family linked to your account and one of them needs to maintain ownership, select that person’s name from your linked account option.

7. When an animal is transferred on MyHerd, how much time does it take for the new owner to receive a registration certificate?

Animals transferred electronically are moved to the new owner’s herd in real-time. If the new owner is on MyHerd he can see the animal in his active registered list immediately following a successful transfer. The new registration certificate is released when the transfer fee is paid.

8. Can I use MyHerd to transfer animals even though I use a herd management system (CattleMax, Gem, etc.)?

MyHerd works great in addition to a herd management system because it offers features a herd management system cannot provide like animal transfer, Artificial Insemination (AI) certificate release and online AHA bill payment. The MyHerd team recommends that producers use only one system to submit registrations and Whole Herd Total Performance Record (TPR™) data; otherwise, their herd management software could become out-of-date. Contact the MyHerd team at [email protected] to learn more about how to use MyHerd with your herd management system.

9. How do I sign-up to use MyHerd.org? To sign up for MyHerd, e-mail your AHA member number

to [email protected] or contact the AHA customer service department for more information about the system and its features. HW

To maintain ownership on an animal, click “Add yourself as a part-owner” in the selected-members box.

Animals may be transferred to non-members. Click on the “new non-member” tab to add their information.

easier for members,” Sanders explains. “It might also encourage more transfers to be conducted which benefits the Association in promoting the breed to commercial producers directly and providing them with helpful information via the tabloid issues of Hereford World.”

Less hassle, less timeBarber Ranch, Channing, Texas, is a family-owned purebred Hereford operation that has been using MyHerd for two years. Mary Barber says she appreciates the ease of use and doing bookwork in real-time.

“Herefords are what pays our bills,” she says. “Anything that saves time while getting the job done is appreciated and transferring animals on MyHerd is exceptionally fast and so easy. All the animal info is right at your fingertips so you don’t have to look for papers.”

Barber says the most helpful feature of MyHerd animal transfer is having the member database available, which allows her to find

names and addresses instantly. “If your buyer is not already in the database, it is simple and easy to add them,” she says. “We have a bull sale in November and a heifer sale in December. By using MyHerd animal transfer, all those animals can be transferred to their new owners in a very short time. Just a few clicks and you are

done — no trip to the post office and no signatures.”

Members with small herds appreciate the efficiency as well. National Junior Hereford Association member Emilee Holt and her family have 20 head of Herefords in Caldwell, Idaho. They retain most heifers as replacements and market bulls as yearlings to commercial cattlemen.

“I began using MyHerd in spring 2014 mostly because of its convenience and ability to help me keep up-to-date EPDs (expected progeny differences) of all of my cattle as that plays a big part when marketing our cattle,” she explains. “I appreciate that I am able to work on MyHerd anywhere I have access to Wi-Fi. I can still do our records when I’m at college away from home.”

Holt also says the animal transfer feature helps her simplify the paperwork. “My brother (Ben) and I also own all of our cattle together so I am able to transfer them and add one of our names to the registration paper online which is very simple,” she says. “If you have the information needed to transfer an animal you can follow the easy-to-understand directions, fill out everything and be done in five minutes or less per animal.”

Mickelson and her family run a 200-head registered Hereford herd. They market bulls each fall through their annual bull sale and sell heifers private treaty. She began using MyHerd in 2014 in conjunction with CattleMax, a herd management software.

“At first I thought ‘Why do I need MyHerd when I am already an online records person using CattleMax?’” she explains. “What I didn’t realize is that by using MyHerd, it gives me direct access to my records at AHA and alleviates the cumbersome task of transferring records on animals that are sold. CattleMax does not have an animal transfer feature. What I do like is that the MyHerd transfer

feature works hand-in-hand with my herd management software. Between the two software programs, I am always on top of where our herd data is not only in online files with CattleMax, but what our animal’s and breeder’s status is at the AHA.”

Learning to use MyHerdHolt says that there is a learning curve in the beginning stages of using MyHerd features. “In the beginning I had a tough time figuring out how to use the program but the more I have used it I have gotten better at it and can get things done faster,” she says. “Now that I have gotten better at using MyHerd it has saved me tons of time. I can logon and see what I need to do right away on the main page and finish it in half the time without having to find certain papers piled on my desk and make extra trips to the post office to mail them.”

Mickelson adds, “I will say that if you are not familiar with a computer it can be a bit daunting. However, if you consider that your computer is your friend and a useful tool, for the first time out, simply follow the steps that MyHerd has laid out. It’s a very simple step-by-step process. Once you get the hang of it, it’s very quick and easy.”

She says that MyHerd is now an important recordkeeping tool she uses. “I feel that I am in control of our data instead of the other way around. Through the MyHerd home page, I can control all aspects of our performance records. At all times, I can see what data is needed from me in order to meet our goals as a Gold TPR Breeder. Another useful tool is the ability to see what artificial insemination (AI) certificates are in our stockpile, or even release AI certificates to fellow breeders for our herd sires. MyHerd takes all of the paperwork out of time consuming ‘paperwork.’” HW

Fueling FemalesCows need different nutritional levels at different stages of gestation.

by Heather Smith Thomas

The protein requirement for pregnant cows increases during later stages of

gestation, and it is highest for young cows. If young cows are kept separate from the main herd, they can be supplemented with protein, if necessary, without having to supplement the whole herd, or could receive a higher level of protein. Mature cows can be brought through winter and early spring a lot easier than the younger cows because they are not trying to grow.

Nutrient requirements in early gestation are not much different from maintenance requirements, but as the fetus grows larger, the cow’s nutrient needs increase. And if a cow is lactating, she needs a much higher level of protein and

energy than when she is pregnant. According to Shannon Williams, Lemhi County Extension agent, Salmon, Idaho, producers need to remember that during the 60 days following calving, they are asking the cow to produce milk, repair her uterus and breed back again. “This requires the maximum amount of energy and nutrients,” Williams says.

These demands on the cow are the reason why it is very important to make sure cows have adequate levels of protein and other nutrients during late gestation. If a cow is in poor body condition when she calves, she doesn’t have a very good chance to prepare for rebreeding while she’s also producing milk for her new

calf. The cow may continue to lose weight, even if nutrient levels are increased, and fail to cycle on time. This period is a crucial phase in her production cycle, and if she is a young cow, her need for energy and protein is even greater than that of an older cow.

“Because of these factors, producers should feed 2- and 3-year-olds different from the way they feed the main herd during pregnancy,” Williams says. “You also need to pay attention to body condition score, especially in these young cows. If an older cow is losing weight, she should also


be pulled out of the herd and fed differently. Some producers put their old, thin cows with the young cows — whatever works for their operation.”

Williams says that a mature 1,100 lb. cow needs 7.8% of her diet to be crude protein during the last trimester of pregnancy. A 900 lb. 2-year-old heifer approaching her first calving in her last trimester would need 9% crude protein in her diet.

“Another thing that is different between the heifer and the mature cow is the net energy for maintenance,” she adds. “The percent TDN (total digestible nutrients) for a 900 lb. heifer is 65.4%, as compared with 53.2% for an 1,100 lb. cow during her last trimester. This is a major difference.”

Supplementing during gestationKen Olson, South Dakota State University (SDSU) Extension beef specialist, says protein supplementation is important, especially when talking about spring-calving herds. “Those cows will possibly need some supplement during the winter if they are utilizing low quality forage sources,” he says. “They may be grazing winter range or utilizing crop residues, or baled straw residues. These feedstuffs are deficient in nutrients.”

Olson says, in this situation, he and the people with whom he works usually think of the first limiting nutrient as protein, simply because the ruminant needs protein for digestion of forage. “If the cow doesn’t have enough protein to create a proper environment for the rumen microbes, she can’t digest the fiber in that low-quality forage to extract the energy value that is tied up in it. We are actually meeting the requirement of the gut bugs first, so they can digest the feed and meet the requirements of the cow,” Olson says.

“We feed the rumen bugs, and that grows more rumen bugs,” he

explains. “After they digest the fiber and pass on into the small intestine, the rumen bugs also become supplemental protein for the cow. It’s a very efficient system.”

This process is the reason why the first thing considered in supplementing pregnant cows in the colder months is protein, because of that chain reaction. “This meets the cow’s needs and helps her maintain body condition during the time she’s pregnant

and after calving,” Olson says. “We need her to be in good body condition in the spring so she has the nutritional status to lactate and also start cycling again, and get pregnant at the beginning of the next breeding season.”

Olson explains that it’s important to keep the cow healthy through the winter and to get her pregnant again in the next breeding season. “We also know we are having an effect on the fetus during her pregnancy, and this is a hot topic in research right now,” Olson says. “One of the things we’ve traditionally known about this, is that if we are providing supplemental protein to the cow we are setting her up to provide better colostrum, more milk and better quality milk. So we help the calf get off to a good start right after it’s born.”

He adds that feeding the cow well will reduce calving difficulty. “The cow is healthier and stronger, and can push better during labor. She can get the calf out quicker which means less stress on the calf not having to endure the pressure of an extended time in the birth canal, and this helps get the calf

“We are finding out that how we feed the cow when she is pregnant affects the development and genetic potential of that fetus, changing how it performs after it is born — and apparently for the rest of its life. ”

Cows on range pasture can be fed cake or pellets in portable troughs to minimize waste.



up and going quicker. If the cow is strong, we have fewer weak calves at birth.” Olson says.

“These are all things we’ve known for a long time,” he explains. “The new things we are learning about are part of the topic we call fetal programming. We are finding out that how we feed the cow when she is pregnant affects the development and genetic potential of that fetus, changing how it performs after it is born — and apparently for the rest of its life. We know that in calves that go to the feedlot, it changes their feedlot performance. We can improve

their immune system, and also change their carcass composition.”

There is a lot yet to be learned about fetal programming. “There is a limited amount of data so far, but it tells us we do change it,” Olson says. “The patterns on how we change it, and how to actually manage this for the best possible outcome, still need more study.”

Understanding nutrient restrictionOlson says researchers are just touching the tip of the iceberg to understanding the levels of nutrient restriction, but it seems to matter. “At some levels we get one outcome, and at other levels

of restriction we see different outcomes,” he explains.

“When in which stage of gestation this occurs, whether early-, mid- or late-gestation, appears to have tremendous importance. At different points in the development of that fetus, different things are being developed like the heart and lungs, immune system and various body tissues. Mid-gestation seems to be very important for muscle fiber development, for instance. Different times appear to be important for fat cell development,” Olson says. Thus, how the cow is fed may change things like yield and marbling in the ultimate carcass from her calf.

“This is all affected by how that fetus is developing,” Olson says. “So now people realize we need to have a reasonable plane of nutrition all the way through pregnancy. But there is data from my colleague Amanda Blair, here at SDSU that suggests that a mild mid-gestation energy restriction can actually increase the marbling score of that future calf. So perhaps we are increasing marbling while decreasing muscle fiber generation and maybe just changing the proportion of fat cells to muscle cells.”

In doing so, Olson says a more marbled carcass and improved quality grade is created. “So having the cow a little bit short on energy in mid-gestation may not be a bad thing,” he says. “This is based on just one experiment, so a lot more work needs to be done to make sure this was not just a one-time outcome. We need to better understand how to manage cow nutrition to make this happen in a predictable fashion. That first experiment demonstrated this, so we are currently writing grant proposals to find money to do additional work to continue to pursue these ideas.”

Ruminants have a tremendous ability to manage under less than perfect feed conditions, being Pregnant cows on winter pasture utilize tubs of protein supplement.

“We need to reconsider and figure out some sort of strategic supplementation that still minimizes the cost of doing it and overcomes any negative issues in fetal programming. ”

— Ken Olson

able to lose weight during winter in early to mid-gestation and regain weight with green grass in the spring, and give birth to healthy calves.

“Large ruminants like beef cattle are built to utilize low-quality forages and deal with nutrient shortages,” Olson says. “But just because they can do it and survive doesn’t mean that’s the most productive way to raise beef animals.” Cattlemen generally seek the optimum type of management to tweak their herds’ abilities to their best benefit.

A lot to be learned“We just need to understand the best ways to do that,” Olson says.

“There is a lot of research going on right now, all over the country, addressing this topic. Studies are looking at what fetal programming does to the feeder calf, and also in terms of replacement heifers. We know from the work that Dr. Rick Funston has done at the University of Nebraska, that nutrient restriction of the dam in the winter can have negative effects on the fetus in terms of when that heifer reaches puberty and how fertile she is, etc. We are trying to learn the effects of restriction — in terms of how great was the restriction and when did it happen. Dr. Funston’s research in that area is continuing.”

There is a lot to be learned, and it may change the way beef cows are fed in the winter. Many ranchers need to be able to utilize as much low-quality forage as possible — such as leaving cows out on winter range and grazing as long as possible without having to feed hay. So the best ways to supplement cows so they can continue to graze low quality forages and not compromise their unborn calves need to be determined.

“We may learn to be more strategic in when we supplement and how much,” Olson explains. “In the past our recommendations were some sort of minimal

supplementation, or if cows came in from range or pasture in the fall in really good body condition we felt we could under-supplement them, knowing that they can utilize their own excess body reserves. Now we are realizing that this may work in terms of getting the cow through the winter and having her still be fertile for the next breeding season, but we don’t know what that means for the fetus. So now we need to reconsider and figure out some sort of strategic supplementation that still minimizes the cost of doing it and overcomes any negative issues in fetal programming.”

Olson says this is still a work in progress. “Just when we think we have it all figured out, we come up with a new wrinkle like this, and it gives us a lot more to think about,” he says.

He adds that it is important to determine goals for the cows. “A producer now has options and has to decide which one is the most appropriate to meet those goals,” he says. These goals may differ,

depending on whether the cattle are in lush grass pastures on an Eastern or Midwestern farm or running on thousands of acres of public rangeland in Nevada during winter.

“If cattle are on desert range in Nevada, the rancher may have limited ability to do much about some of these things,” Olson explains. “But if you are five miles down the road from an ethanol plant and have easy access to distillers grains, your goals and options become quite a bit different.”

And, sometimes cattlemen can be innovative. “The folks who are thinking outside the box, looking for ways to do something to tweak their own system to make it better, are the ones who can make it work,” he says.

Learning more about the protein needs of the cow and how they fit into the whole picture of the way her calf will develop and how it will perform in the future can help producers as they make their future management plans. HW

Cows may be able to graze through winter if they have adequate protein.

Hereford juniors put their work ethic learned from ag to good use in athletics.

by Bridget Beran

At first, athletics and showing cattle may seem like very opposite activities.

However, for several members of the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA), these two things go together perfectly.

For Locke St. John, Dry Creek Farms, Pell City, Ala., Herefords have been a part of his life since he turned 7 years old and began showing from county fair to the National Western Livestock Exposition in Denver. St. John says he’s missed only one Junior National Hereford Expo since 2002.

Another activity has been a part of his life since the very beginning — baseball.

“I’ve played all my life and it’s the only sport I’ve ever played,” St. John explains. “My grandfather coached me since I was little and I’ve been playing ever since.”

Growing up, St. John kept busy caring for his family’s herd of 60 Herefords while balancing time with baseball practice. However, he says he learned some very important lessons growing up on a farm that made him a better athlete.

“Working on our farm taught me a lot about work ethic and

taking care of my responsibilities,” St. John says. “You have to do everything on the farm and make sure you have time to get all of your sports activities done too.”

After high school, St. John went on to become a pitcher at the University of South Alabama, Mobile, Ala. His time in college was cut short when he was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 2014. He currently plays on one of their minor league teams in Florida, the Lakeland Flying Tigers. A left-handed pitcher, St. John is entering his second year in the minors.

Entering a New Arena

Rachel Buzanowski, Snowshoe Cattle Co., Pompey Pillar, Mont., joined the track team at Butler Community College, El Dorado, Kan.


“The game speeds up every level you move up. Baseball is a mental game and if you don’t slow yourself down, it will get you every time,” St. John says. “I’ve been pitching really well and met a lot of great guys that have helped me improve my game. But on this level there are a lot of great athletes so you have to be mentally strong.”

He’s not forgotten his Hereford background and made sure to attend as many national shows as he could throughout the off-season.

“It was great to get to catch up with all of my Hereford friends and see everyone,” St. John says. “It was the highlight of my off-season.”

SteppingstoneFor many, college sports serve as a steppingstone to the rest of their education. For Blake Lowderman, Lowderman Cattle Co., Macomb, Ill.; and Rachel Buzanowski, Snowshoe Cattle Co., Pompeys Pillar, Mont., playing sports at a junior college is an integral part of the four-year college plan.

Lowderman is a sophomore on the Black Hawk College basketball team, Moline, Ill., and intends to attend a four-year university and continue playing basketball after finishing his junior college career. A long-time member of the NJHA, Lowderman says his family has been raising Hereford cattle for more than 50 years and his background has also taught him a lot about work ethic.

“Growing up on a farm has taught me how to work hard and whatever you put into it is what you’ll get out,” Lowderman says. “I try to always give 110%, don’t give up and if I fail, learn from it so I don’t fail next time.”

For Buzanowski, her work ethic was also instilled in her from an early age. She says her background with cattle taught her how to devote herself to important things and credits her dad’s showmanship lessons with making her more coachable.

After her team took home four state titles in volleyball throughout

high school, Buzanowski was recruited to play volleyball at Butler Community College, El Dorado, Kan. While there, she also joined the track team and became a two-sport athlete. After a successful season, Buzanowski plans to remain with the track team, though she is choosing to no longer play volleyball.

“I really want to end up at Kansas State University for their awesome agriculture program but I also wasn’t quite ready to give up my sports so Butler was a good steppingstone to allow me to do

both,” Buzanowski said. “Right now sports have to come first because that’s what my scholarship is for and I’m always working to make myself better. But when I get the chance, I try to get away and take in a deep breath of livestock at some of the shows and sales in Kansas.”

4 Cow/calf producers can add significant value by implementing a preconditioning program, which can pay off all the way through to the feedlot.

In times of high cattle prices, it’s not uncommon for producers to want to capitalize on prices

as quickly as possible. And, it’s no different for this year’s valuable calf crop. Producers are gearing up to cash in on their investment in producing and raising a healthy calf, but there are a few reasons to slow down and evaluate if this is the most profitable path. Could waiting a few months longer realize additional payoff?

“Preconditioning calves is one way that a farm or ranch can

really add value, whether those cattle are staying on the farm or moving into a stocker or feedlot scenario,” says Chris Forcherio, Ph.D., beef research manager at the Purina Animal Nutrition Center. “The producer implementing a preconditioning program may receive a higher premium, and no matter where the calf goes after that, the opportunity for improved health and performance should be adding value from that program.”

Preconditioning, which commonly includes a vaccination,

nutritional and management program to help calves through a stressful timeframe, can be an investment, but it can be an investment with potentially bigger payoffs down the road. Here are four reasons preconditioning makes ‘cents’:

1 Improved healthAs many producers know, weaning

can be a very stressful time

Preconditioning is an investment, but it may be an investment with potentially bigger payoffs down the road.

Reasons PreconditioningMakes ‘Cents’


for calves. Stress may cause them to go off feed, become immunocompromised and more susceptible to disease or can even result in death.

“Calves that are preconditioned with an effective vaccination program and started on a high-quality nutrition program may be better equipped to handle this period of stress,” Forcherio says.

Research shows that preconditioned calves may have a significant reduction in treatment costs, as much as $29.50 per head, as well as a 3.1% lower mortality rate in comparison to non-preconditioned calves. Investing in animal health with preconditioning can help cattle get through a stressful period, meaning potentially less treatment cost and more calves down the road.

2 Additional weight gain and increased feed efficiency

Calves that have gone through a preconditioning program (45 days or more) and sold at a later date will have added weight versus calves that are sold at weaning. Additionally, research shows that calves that have gone through preconditioning have 7.2% better feed efficiency.

Another study shows that preconditioning can add up to $61 per head to the value of heifers or $11.04 per cwt. to the initial weaning weight.

3 Seasonal market payoffPreconditioning may also provide an

opportunity to sell calves in a more favorable market. In many instances, spring-born calves are weaned in October and are either sold at that point, or they are preconditioned

to be marketed roughly 45 days later in November or December. Seasonal price indicators show that it may be more profitable to wait for higher prices in November or December but that prices vary based on market scenarios.

“Market prices for cattle can really fluctuate, and it’s important to have tabs on the market value at any given time, in comparison to what you’ll be investing in a preconditioning program,” Forcherio says. “Cattle producers should always have a goal in place before starting a program.”

4 Management premiumDespite the additional

costs of vaccination and nutrition, research shows that conservatively preconditioning may capture $50 to $75 per head of additional value. Whether a producer keeps the set of calves on his operation for further development, or is looking to sell those calves to a stocker or feedlot operation, this added value can mean potential profit in the form of healthier animals and the resulting premiums.

When cattlemen are considering a preconditioning program, there are several critical management elements to keep

in mind. They should make sure preconditioned calves are acquainted with feed bunks and water troughs. Fresh, clean water should be offered at all times. In addition, calves should be offered a high-quality, balanced diet with the appropriate amount of energy, protein, minerals and vitamins.

A variety of Purina® Animal Nutrition products are available to available to precondition cattle and get them off to a great start, including Accuration®, Precon® and Stress Care 5™ starters and supplements. These products are all part of the Purina Great Starts® calf feeding program. HW

According to Chris Forcherio, Purina Animal Nutrition, calves that are preconditioned with an effective vaccination program and started on a high-quality nutrition program may be better equipped to handle the stressors at weaning time.

In PassingJoanne “Jody” Carol

White, 67, of Jay Em, Wyo., passed away June 18.

Jody grew up on naval bases around the country and attended the

University of Wyoming. She and her husband, LeRoy “Butch” White, raised Hereford cattle, and her children were active in 4-H, FFA, the Wyoming Junior Hereford Association, rodeo and various other activities. Working on the ranch with her family was one of her greatest joys in life. Jody wrote columns for the Cattle Country News, the Wyoming Roundup and The Fencepost. She also authored and co-authored two books.

She is survived by her husband, Butch; daughter, Jana Fraley; sons, Joel and Coby; several siblings; and nine grandchildren.

Donald “Don” Russell Griffin, 82, of Oxford, Ga., passed away June 25.

Born in Alabama, he joined the United States Air Force as an airplane

mechanic after graduating from high school. After leaving the Air Force,

Don attended Pensacola Junior College to obtain his electrical engineering certification before continuing his electrical education at Georgia Tech. He and his wife, Lois, owned Electrical Motor Service.

He entered the cattle business in 1984, operating Griffin Hills Farm. After Lois’ passing, he married Jo Ann Osborne, and they started raising Hereford cattle. Don was named Piedmont Cattlemen’s Association’s Cattleman of the Year in 2001 and 2012 and received the Outstanding Service Award from Newtown County FFA Alumni in 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2012.

He is survived by his wife, Jo Ann; son, Jerry; daughters Kathryn and Becky; brother, Harold; sisters, Elsie and Shirley; stepsons, Dennis and Jeff; step-daughters, Terry and Toni; seven grandchildren; six step-grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and four step-great-grandchildren.

Bobbie Jean Debter, 81, of Horton, Ala., passed away July 26.

Bobbie was married to Glynn Debter for 61 years and was a business

partner and office manager for Debter Hereford Farm for more than 60 years. She clerked the annual sale at Debter Hereford Farm for 42 years and, at one time, was a bookkeeper for five businesses. Bobbie strongly supported the promotion of the Hereford breed and the family business.

Bobbie was a long-time member of New Prospect Baptist Church. She was active in raising her six grandchildren and always enjoyed being around her family. Bobbie was on the board of directors for Blount County Department of Human Resources for more than 20 years. She was always concerned with her community, and this concern was evidenced by the fact that over 600 people paid their respects at her visitation and funeral.

She is survived by her husband, Glynn; sons James and Perry; grandchildren, Jennifer, Carrie, Brittany, Haley, John Ross and Robert; seven great-grandchildren; siblings, Bill and Sue Kornegay, James “Bo” and Jeannette Kornegay, and Louise Long; in-laws, Ann and Ronnie Tidwell; and a host of nieces and nephews.

Hereford breeder celebrates 106th birthdayLongtime Hereford breeder, Elizabeth Bryant, Covington, Tenn., celebrated her 106th birthday on Aug. 12.

Elizabeth was featured in the article, “Resilient,” in the February 2010 Hereford World, as her family hosted a centennial celebration for her. Below is an excerpt from the article.

Elizabeth married Ermon Bryant and they spent many years in the dairy business at Covington, Tenn., milking cows side by side. They had two sons, Elton and Ray, and a daughter Margaret Ann.

In 1949, they bought a polled Hereford bull and bred him to their dairy cows, leaving the dairy industry for the beef cattle business. Ray wanted a registered Hereford heifer and so in 1952, he made a deal with nearby Hereford breeder Bill Reeves of Howard and Reeves Polled Herefords at Stanton, Tenn.

Elizabeth was always active with the cows, helping with everything from feeding and breeding to bookkeeping.

When Ermon died in 1963, Elizabeth says she had no choice but to carry on. Elizabeth was resilient, instead of selling out and moving to town, she managed the whole operation until her sons could return home to help.

Both sons agree that while they helped their mother, she was instrumental in every aspect of the operation. The Bryant tradition of raising Herefords may continue as Elizabeth now

has five grandchildren, six great grandchildren, and two great great grandchildren. HW

In celebration of her 100th birthday in August 2009, Elizabeth Bryant’s family hosted a centennial celebration. About 200 guests attended, many of whom were fellow Hereford breeders, customers and longtime friends. Pictured (front row, l to r) are: Ray Bryant, Elizabeth Bryant, Margaret Ann (Bryant) Gillhan and Elton Bryant. Hereford friends pictured in the back row (l to r) are: Jimmy and Tissie Reeves, Arvis and Ada Fletcher, Lisa Matlock, Ronald and Jane Bain, Glenda Rickman, and Joyce and Billy Ashe.
