Driving home from theShorthorn Junior Nationaland Youth Conference, I

thought about a number of youth andtheir experiences during this great event.It soon became clear to me that thisevent has a profound meaning for ourbreed and all members. It is the largestgathering of people and cattle in ourbreed. The youth may be outnumberedby parents, grandparents and support-ers, but all are agriculturalist andShorthorn enthusiasts. The rewards areevident throughout this issue of theShorthorn Country.

One important facet of thisShorthorn event is the involvement offamilies. Entire families are committedto this one event. The cattle may be thetool that brings them togeth-er, but the real value here isthe family working in har-mony. When young peopleexperience this unifiedatmosphere, they tend to copy it in theirown lives. The lessons for youth andparents are many. It begins at home,preparing to come and having the cattlejust right as well as preparing for othercontests and activities. Responsibility is

=Association Outlook

taught and learned as a family unit.Everyone chips in. Our children’s sched-ules can be hectic; sports, family func-tions and academics in addition to cat-tle functions keep us all onthe run. The family unitestablishes priorities and ourchildren learn this by beingpart of it. The focus beingon the family as a whole is rare in thisday and age. This is a way of life we canthrive upon - Shorthorns bringing afamily together to reach a commongoal.

This wonderful atmosphere cannotbe duplicated because it is a product ofeveryone who attends and participatesin this grand event. The youth get tiredbut they drive on for the individual sat-

isfaction of doing thejob well and beingtotally prepared. It isimpossible to attach adollar figure to the life

lessons our youth learn because they arepart of this special cause. The cost ofattending a Junior National and owningthe cattle is more each year. Familiesstay committed and new families join asis evident by the continual growth of

Shorthorn Family Strongthe event. This is much more than acow show in so many ways.Youth Conference is part of the name

of this event. The non-cattle activitiesare just as important andin some cases moreimportant to many indi-viduals than showing cat-tle. The experiences of

preparing and competing in the manycontests build character and confidence.The number of young people partici-pating in contests is extremely highcompared to other breeds that do notmake it mandatory. This event is truly aYouth Conference in every way. I hopethis part of the experience is never lost.We have young people forming teams,learning skills, forging friendships andmaking memories that will last a life-time. The size and scope of the JuniorNational and Youth Conference and thefunding needed has put high expecta-tions on past state hosts. This year’sJunior National is the first for which theASA was responsible for planning andfinding funding. Gwen Crawford, ourDirector of Junior Activities, was theresponsible party for this event. She dida great job with the help of many breed-ers and committees members. Thisevent could not take place without thesegood folks and the generosity of oursponsors. Many of you made donationsand commitments to this grand activity;thank you. This will always be neededin order to sustain this great celebrationof our breed. Finding locations that arelarge enough to implement this eventbecomes more difficult each year. Thecosts continue to rise, like everythingelse. When you see a person that hashelped make our Junior National andYouth Conference a success, please taketime to thank them, whether they aresponsors or volunteers or parents orfriends. It takes a huge team effort topull this off year in and year out. Assoon as this show and conferencewrapped up in Louisville, meetingsbegan for next year’s event and theyears after. This is a year round planningand funding job, all for one gloriousweek of Shorthorn Family Fellowship. Iencourage everyone to attend. This is

not just for juniors, the doors are openand we should all partici-pate in this an awesomeexperience. The lessons are many as

I have mentioned for ouryouth at the JuniorNational and YouthConference. We adults can take a lotaway from this, too. Seeing young peo-ple from different parts of the country

teaming up to contend and succeed isawesome. The desire ofthese youth to be part ofthe bigger team - theShorthorn Team – is inspir-ing. The dedication to theiranimals and the activitiesduring this week has been

rewarding. We adults can learn from ourstrong youth; team work can bring forthgreatness in most anything that is

attempted. If we approach the needs ofour breed as a team and work towardour common goals, like our young peo-ple, nothing can stop us. Our youthhave demonstrated it; now it is time weuphold their examples, so they have astronger and better breed to work withwhen they take the reins of theShorthorn Breed. We owe them that!=


“We adults can learn fromour strong youth; teamwork can bring forthgreatness in most any-thing that is attempted.”

field services representa-tive

The fifth installment of the AmericanShorthorn Association’s Great StateFeedout (GSF) is in the books and onceagain proved that feeding Shorthorngenetics is a viable option for all. Profitwas rampant for all participants thisyear with record fat cattle prices, lowerthan expected feed costs and the cattle’sperformance while on feed. The averageprofit per head this year was $220.41after feed and expenses were subtracted,one producer made over $300 per headon their 26 head consignment! Six different operations placed 108

steers and 35 heifers on feed at the Tri-County Steer Carcass Futurity Feedlotsin Lewis, Iowa. Thank you to the fol-lowing operations for your continuedsupport of the GSF – Waukaru Farms,Bowman Superior Genetics, Peak ViewRanch, Kelly Klein, Galbreath Farms

and Vogel Shorthorns. The cattle performed exceptionally

well through the Iowa winter posting anaverage daily gain of 3.56 lbs. per daywith an average feed to gain of 6.0. Theaverage feed cost/cwt was $64.72 andthe overall cost of gain/cwt was $84.36.The Shorthorn genetics continued theirrun of great disposition scores throughthe feedlot averaging a 1.7 (scale of 1-6). The cattle left the feedlot averaging

1,179 pounds with an average hot car-cass weight of 725 pounds and had anaverage dressing percentage of 61.5%.On the rail the cattle were 63% lowchoice or better with an average mar-bling score of a Small 18.

Team Salesmanshipby Dustin Smith

Whether you are selling a choice ofbulls, antibiotics, or a heifer calf, ittakes skill to convince the buyer yourproduct is what they need. The skill ofa salesman or saleswoman is a work ofart. The work of art requires smoothtalking, prepared, and determinedindividuals. The shorthorn breed hasmany outstanding sales men andwomen, many of which participated inthe team sales contest at the juniornational show this year. 52 teamscompeted for the top spots in their

division. This contest is not an easy oneto prepare and participate in; not tomention the practice that each team hasto do in order to get everythingcomplete and rehearsed down to eachsecond. It is truly amazing seeing theyouth of our industry practice theirsales pitch. Whether they pretended tobe a semen service business or anantibiotic sales team, the skill level trulydid shine through.

“Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance”

MeganBrehm

director ofcommunications &marketing

“Remember, prior planning preventspoor performance.” These were the wordsof a wise college accounting professor Iwas given the opportunity to learn manythings from. At the beginning of thecourse’s first semester, I comprehended thescope of the quote to apply only to classmaterials and the importance of studyingfor exams. However, as the yearprogressed, I began to understand that theconcept of prior planning encompassedfar more than my accounting homework. Today, as I continue to think about the

significance of this saying, its importancein the cattle business becomes clear. Sooftentimes, in the hectic nature of our dayto day activities at a cattle operation,future planning becomes tossed aside inlieu of more pressing tasks at hand.However, to ensure our future success,planning for the future is of utmostimportance. Do you know where you want your

operation to be in the future? Today is thebest day to set goals for tomorrow. Beproactive in making your operation even

better than it is now. Learn more about atopic that could help improve yourbottom line, try a new idea, theopportunities are endless. Today’s beefcattle market is the highest on record.How can you plan ahead to make sureyour operation is profitable when marketsbecome narrow? • Establish an effective record keeping system. Incorporating a system that accurately records expenses and profits will be a valuable decision making tool. Decisions can be made with real world numbers, in turn helping to increase productivity and profitability. Are your cattle performance records up to date? Do you have a performance record keeping system in place? If not, take the time to learn more about record keeping and to find a system that best meets your herd’s needs. • Gain knowledge about industry trends and technology.Today’s fast paced, technology based world has

= Shorthorn Beef Bits


not overlooked the cattle industry. Today, there are many products, innovations, and technology available that can help your herd and operation improve. Areas that technology continues to touch include: reproductive, feed efficiency, and herd health technology. Oftentimes, looking to the future can

be overwhelming; however, the task todaywill reap benefits over and over intomorrow’s world. Agricultural producershave a multitude of resources available tohelp answer questions and provideeducational materials. State extensionservices are a great place for producerslooking for useful information. As youtransition and prepare for the future, Ihope you too will remember that “priorplanning prevents poor performance.” =

Shorthorn Country is featuring articlesaimed to help you become more familiarwith each Board of Director member. Theboard is passionate about serving the needs ofmembers and ensuring the success ofShorthorn cattle well into the future. “I wanted to spread the word about the

breed of cattle I love.” These are the wordsof Mark Gordon, Vice President of theAmerican Shorthorn Association, whenasked what motivated him to become amember of the association’s Board ofDirectors. Gordon was elected to theboard three years ago, and he hasn’tlooked back since. As an individual andboard member, ideas and goals for thebreed continually evolve to make apositive difference. Shorthorn cattle areeasily the “most versatile” breed of beefcattle, Gordon added. As a boardmember, Gordon takes his job to helpconsumers become more aware of theShorthorn breed seriously. In 1972, Mark’s parents John and

Judith Gordon, purchased land adjacentto his grandparent’s farm to continue their

family’s involvement in row crop andcattle production. In this same year, theGordon’s selected their first Shorthornheifer for a 4-H project. Since then,Shorthorns haven’t left the farm. MarkGordon and his father John now operateRockin’ G Land and Cattle, a purebredShorthorn herd near Middletown, Illinois.The Gordon’s primary objective is to sellbreeding stock, with emphasis beingplaced on high quality service tocustomers. Most cattle are marketedthrough private treaty and Shorthornconsignment sales. In addition to duties atthe farm, Mark is the manager of CroftFertilizer Service, Inc., a full servicefertilizer, chemical, and seed distributor.Serving on the Board of Directors has

further appreciated Gordon’s passion forShorthorns. While serving as a boardmember, “I have come to appreciate howversatile and industry relevant theShorthorn breed is. Shorthorns arethriving in various conditions across thecountry, all while meeting the standardsbeef producers have set for them.”

Meet Your American Shorthorn Association Boardof Director Member: Mark Gordonby Megan Brehm, Director of Communications and Marketing

Throughout the last three years as amember of the board, Gordon has hadthe opportunity to express ideas for thebreed and put them into action. “Servingon the board has been a tremendoushonor; members of the board truly havethe best interests of the Shorthorn breedin mind.” When asked what has beenmost enjoyable about serving as a boardmember, Gordon is quick to mention themembership base of the AmericanShorthorn Association. “Our people arethe strength of the Shorthorn breed; thevalues and close-knit family atmosphere,make involvement in the breed all themore worthwhile.” =
