Byron Bayers 

In my over 

65 years being 

both a Hereford 

breeder 

and a Hereford 

America associate, 

I do not 

Byron Bayers believe I have 

ever seen some 

of the great Hereford selling events 

we have witnessed this past month. 

First the Churchill sale, then Wooden 

Shoe, Hoffman/Topp/W4, Upstream, 

the Ned and Jan Ward sale, 

Mohican West, and the great finale of 

them all, the K&B Dispersion, which 

grossed over $1,067,000. 

I am so proud of our Hereford 

America crew and Art Handel, and 

the great Bieber family that worked 

(continued on page 3) 

Marc Hotchkiss 

Wow! The last 

two months have 

been a blur with 

videoing and 

preparing for female 

sales that 

so far have commanded 

very 


good prices. The 

demand for good registered Hereford 

females seems to have put 

pressure on the supply, leaving the 

Hereford breeder in an envious position. 

Producers of other breeds have 

been seeing the advantage Herefords 

can have on their bottom line, due to 

efficiency, heterosis and longevity. 

Our Hereford breeders should be 

proud of the job they are doing to 

produce an animal that meets the 

needs of the commercial industry.

KazBeef sends first cattle 

shipment, crew to Kazakhstan 

by Mikkel Pates, AgWeek 

Reprinted with permission 

FARGO, N.D. — Crates with 160 

live purebred Angus and Hereford cattle 

took off from North Dakota, the first 

in a total of $50 million deal with Kazakhstan 

over about 10 years, linking 

ranchers in the state to that government 

and its cattle industry. 

The 747 jet, bound for Astana, Kazakhstan, 

took off at 12:21 p.m. Oct. 12 

from the Fargo, N.D., airport. 

Among the dozens of state officials 

and media at takeoff were Bill and 

Dan Price of Missouri River Feeders 

near Hensler, N.D. The brothers are 

key players in Global Beef Consultants, 

which is a partner in the deal with 

the government of Kazakhstan, and is 

supplying the cattle. The KazBeef Ltd. 

joint venture corporation is looking to 

establish two 2,500-head cow-calf operations 

and a 5,000-head feedlot near 

Akmola Oblast, Kazakhstan. 

A crate of Herefords is loaded into a 747 at Hector International Airport on Oct. 12, bound for 

Kazakhstan in a $50 million, multi-year deal. 


Home on the Range — 

Four Generations on the Davis Ranch 

make their living raising Herefords 

by Carrie Stadheim 

Tom Davis of rural Belle Fourche, 

S.D., says he went to the school of hard 

knocks, and he’s still going. And it’s still 

costing him. 

But it’s been a good education, he 

says, and one he comes to appreciate 

more with each passing day. “I’m just 

the caretaker of this place and I hope for 

my sons and grandchildren to have the 

same opportunities I have had,” he said. 

“They can have it when I’m through with 

it. If Marlene and I wanted to sell this 

place, we would probably be surprised 

by what we’d 

get for it, but 

that’s not our 

intention,” he 

said. The next 

generation will 

likely carry on 

the rich tradition 

of Hereford 

cattle and 

sheep that has 

kept the place 

in the family 

for well over a 

century. 

The family 

has ranched 

north of Belle 

Fourche since 

Tom Davis has raised Herefords all his life. His grandfather and great uncle 

trailed cattle from Texas into the Belle Fourche, SD country and eventually 

settled north of Belle Fourche. 

homesteading days. “My grandfather 

and his brother rode up to this country 

with a trail herd of cattle from Texas. 

Granddad rode for the XIT in those 

days.” Tom said he owns a pistol that 

was passed down from his great grand- 

father — the first sheriff of Wichita 

Falls, Texas. Upon their arrival to South 

Dakota, in the late 1890s, Tom’s grandfather 

and grandmother both homesteaded 

on what they now refer to as the

HEREFORD AMERICA • November/December 2010 

Marc’s Editorial... 

(continued from page 1 

Keep up the good work! 

It has been a week since the K&B sale 

but we are still excited about the results. 

It was a lot of hard work by many and 

began last spring. Ken, Bonnie, Brooke 

and Kirk Bieber did a fantastic job in 

Byron’s Editorial... 

(continued from page 1) 

together so closely to make this a history 

making event. Never before, in my life, 

has any combination of so much new 

technology been assembled to make 

such a sale. First a great herd of cattle 

owned by a family that has done so 

much for the industry. Then Hereford 

America’s involvement. Jill and Taylor 

did the catalog and the advertising, Marc 

and Art Handel operating as The Hereford 

Connection managed the sale, Marc 

did the video work and the electronic 

clerking (his own patented system) and 

the video setup for the sale (three huge 

screens, tv’s and monitors). Never before 

has all this technology been put together 

in a million dollar Hereford sale. 

THIS SALE WILL GO DOWN 

IN HEREFORD HISTORY AS A 

RECORD SETTING SALE! 

Sure, many of you readers will think 

about this claim and we have had 

other million dollar sales in the Hereford 

breed, but never one with this technology. 

This is the pattern for all future 

sales! I will correct this statement if you 

can prove me wrong. 

The Ward sale was unbelievably good 

but it did not have all of the modern 

technology as did the K&B sale nor did 

it reach the million dollar mark. Ned and 

Jan left everyone happy for them and 

buzzing about the great sale event. All of 

the other sales this last month were good 

and I do not wish to take anything away 

from them but the big dollar winner, with 

the latest technology, wins the title at this 

point. Even though I am bragging on 

our crew and all of the latest methods, 

I take no credit other than being one of 

the originators and founders of Hereford 

America, along with my wife Pauline, 

and Marc and Jill. Thankfully Marc and 

Jill and their crew do almost all of the 

work now, with just a little help from 

me. I truly feel that we have become 

the world’s premier, privately owned 

Hereford newspaper, with freedom, and 

desire to “tell it like it really is.” For this 

you often “pay the price” but the truth 

still makes you free! 

I have a “brand owner” issue with one 

of the last articles in the Hereford World, 

entitled, “Hiding Value.” When you 

criticize branding in the West, especially 

Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, 

New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas, and 

other western states, you’d better bring 

your gun. One of the pictures shown 

even brings criticism to one of the nation’s 

premier herds from Montana. 

preparing for this sale and made our job 

of videoing, promoting and preparing 

much easier. They were a pleasure to 

work with and had a set of cattle that 

were impressive. I have never had so 

many prospective customers compliment 

the cattle as we had heard from 

this summer and fall. What a great group 

of cattle! 

We still have people who steal cattle in 

the big western part of the U.S. If we 

don’t brand, the loss that we may take 

from “rustlers” would be many times 

greater than what the packers may get 

deducted for the hide. Much of the area 

west of the Mississippi has brand laws, 

just because they are needed to protect 

your livestock. 

In Montana, the only legal identification 

of cattle is the hot iron brand! If 

the hides are discounted, as the article 

states, as much as $7 to 30, it is not very 

much loss compared to losing some

“The Hereford Connection,” put a lot of 

thought, effort and work into the K&B 

project. Art Handel and I put many hours 

into the project and appreciated all of 

the advice and time we received from 

our wives Pat and Jill. Tom Granzow 

and his wife Mary came up before the 

sale and helped us set up, take calls and 

tear down. Great friends are valuable 

and these two are priceless. Thanks Tom 

and Mary. We worked hard but we also 

had a lot of fun. 

Cables, wires, screens and computer 

equipment changed the scenery in the

Byron’s Editorial... 


calves or a big steer that is worth $900 

to $1,000, and usually these “cattle rustlers” 

get more than one animal at a time. 

In the “Old West,” these “bad guys” 

were either hanged from the nearest tree, 

or shot, when caught. Now they have 

a nice trial at county expense and are 

usually sent to prison, and then we take 

care of them for several years. 

If it were not for brands these people 

probably would never be caught. So 

you see, we cattle people in the big west 

country really need to have the hot brand 

yet! And also, ranchers in the West don’t 

just take any brand you want, you either 

buy (maybe for $5,000 to $10,000) the 

brand that you like and can get, or you 

go to the Brand Dept. and pick what 

someone does not want, or one that was 

not re-registered. In Montana now it is 

almost impossible to get any brand less 

than three letters. The location is generally 

not your choice, usually, unless you 

buy it. Hip brands are really hard to obtain 

and at the big price. In most western 

states you cannot have the same brand in 

the same county area. Western ranchers 

hate “cattle thieves”, tree huggers, wolf 

lovers, and water stealers. So you see, 

we really need our brands even though 

the hides may be worth less! 

I saw a lot of my friends and met many 

new breeders on this last sales trip. It 

was so good to get acquainted with 

some of the new “movers and shakers” 

in other states. These are younger people 

who have really moved on with their 

programs and will be the future of our 

industry. The interest and the amount 

of money spent on the top cows was 

impressive. These people want to get 

where they want to go, as fast as they 

can, and they are really trying. Most 

people don’t talk much about the fact 

that it takes about five years to prove a 

bull in your herd. 

You can’t make many mistakes in 

your lifetime or you’re in trouble! How 

far can one new cow advance your herd? 

Many people are hoping the ET program 

will move them along at a fast pace. It’s 

all part of your future planning process. 

Sometimes it seems a little like going to 

Las Vegas, but you can win big!

One of the Bayers calves with a nose fl ap 

used for stress-free weaning. The plastic 

nose-tab weans calves by preventing nursing, 

but doesn’t put them through the stress 

of taking them away from their mothers. The 

anti-sucking device is clipped to the partition 

between the animal’s nostrils to prevent access 

to the teat at weaning time. The procedure 

is painless (the device doesn’t pierce the 

septum) and the calf can still graze and drink.

KazBeef.... 


Mike Seifert, a Global Beef partner 

and chief financial officer, says the initial 

sale will be 2,040 cattle over several 

years. 

Bill Price says the project is “way bigger 

than Global Beef; it’s for the cowcalf 

producer, for economic development 

in our state to trucking and selling 

supplies to Kazakhstan.” 

He says the partnership will help reestablish 

a cattle industry in Kazakhstan 

and build North Dakota’s industry. “I 

think we in this industry have to teach 

our children that it isn’t about the coal 

industry all the time, and the energy sector; 

it’s more about the livestock sector. 

We can help the livestock industry go 

forward.” 

The North Dakota Trade Office, quoting 

the Central Asia News Wire, says 

Joe Skavdahl (left), a veterinarian from Harrison, 

NE, and Mike Slattery, who works on his 

family’s ranch near Indianola, NE, are traveling 

with the fi rst load of cattle to Kazakhstan, and 

will remain there for at least a year in a caretaking 

and teaching mode.

the project is the “most ambitious and 

largest scale upgrade of Kazakhstan’s 

cattle herds in modern history.” The office 

helped coordinate the deal, which 

has developed after North Dakota Lt. 

Gov. Jack Dalrymple led a trade delegation 

to the oil-rich former Soviet republic 

in 2006. The country has a similar 

climate to North Dakota, and similar oil 

resources. 

Kazakhstan’s cattle herd had numbered 

35 million before the fall of the 

Soviet Union in 1991. Now it’s down to 

2 million, in part because of the falling 

consumer income, dropping beef consumption 

and “complications” in the 

“agricultural privatization process.” 

Among the onlookers at the plane 

loading was North Dakota Rep. Rick 

Berg, R-Fargo, who is his party’s nominee 

for Congress. 

Berg is involved in a “family cowcalf 

operation” near Hensler, N.D., and 

is one of 10 financial partners in Quality 

Dairy Growers. QDG initially was 

created to feed out dairy cattle, breeding 

them and selling them back to dairy 

operations “so they’re ready for milking,” 

and has been repurposed to pool 

qualifying beef stock, quarantine and 

vaccinate them. QDG sells them them 

to Global Beef in Mandan, N.D., which 

is responsible for shipping them to Kazakhstan. 

Hands-on training 

Joe Skavdahl, a veterinarian from 

Harrison, NE, who is signed up with 

it for a year, as well as Mike Slattery, 

whose mother and father are both veterinarians 

and run a family cattle ranch 

in Indianola, NE, and will work with 

Ken Close, who is employed by Global 

Beef. 

“We’ve got to find people to help us 

out, teach them and run the ranch over 

there,” Slattery says, “and calve out 

2,000 head of heifers.” 

Skavdahl took leave of a veterinary 

practice in Scottsbluff, NE, to go with 

the project as a “unique opportunity to 

further my growth as a person and as a 

veterinarian,” to have a country with a 

shortage of veterinary scientists. 

“Instead of giving a country money 

and aid, we’re allowing the country to 

learn and giving them an education,” he 

says. 

The two will live in an apartment in 

a nearby town but an apartment-like 

structure is planned near the livestock 

facilities, he says. Skavdahl says he understands 

the project will span 15 years 

or more. 

Kazakhstan Agriculture Minister 

Akylbek Kurishbayev visited the state 

in September, and then said his country 

was investing millions to improve its 

livestock technology. 

Shane Goettle, North Dakota commerce 

commissioner, says the Kazakhstan 

deal is just “one example” of 

expanded beef opportunities coming to 

fruition in the state. 

“We’re continuing to meet beef demand 

in Korea and other parts of Southeast 

Asia. I think there’ll be opportunities 

for additional processing in this 

region as a result of that and perhaps 

some identified shipments of beef.” 

He says FK Partners Inc. of South 

Korea is still working on details of a 

large beef kill in the state. 

“I think what they’d have liked to 

have done is find a kill plant here, ready 

for them to take over, and that’s not 

what’s happened,” Goettle says. “I’m 

very optimistic we’ll be able to move 

that project forward.”

Davis... 


“north place,” 18 miles north of Belle 

Fourche along Indian Creek. 

With its deep draws and creek banks, 

the place offers abundant natural protection 

from winter storms. “Granddad 

and his brother dug a hole in the side of 

A nice, big baldy calf on a Hereford cow at 

the Davis Ranch. 

the creek bank and lived there the first 

winter,” he said. He adds that after his 

grandfather married his grandmother, 

they lived in a tent the first winter they 

were together. “Can you imagine what 

that must have been like? We don’t 

realize how good we have it,” he said. 

Tom said that his granddad started out 

with Hereford cattle at the turn of the 

century, and never looked back. He is 

not sure where the first cattle came from. 

Since his grandfather rode for some of 

the big cattle companies in Wyoming 

it is possible he traded for some cattle 

from them or perhaps he bought them 

at market. 

His grandfather acquired some sheep 

at the same time and ran them right with 

the cattle. Tom and his son Jim follow 

tradition and put their sheep and cattle 

out to summer pasture together. They 

keep them separate through the winter. 

Tom’s grandfather, Earl Davis, must 

have expected as much “try” out of 

those around him as he himself was 

willing to give. Tom recounts a story 

of his grandfather and a neighbor kid, 

Oscar Brink, travelling together to Yellowstone 

Park the summer before Earl 

was married. 

“They left the ranch and spent the 

summer in Yellowstone Park. As the 

story goes, Granddad made Oscar Brink 

ride a six year old horse that had never 

been touched. That horse would go to 

bucking – granddad rode with a quirt, 

so granddad would quirt him,” all the 

while insisting that Oscar stay on the 

outlaw. They rode to the park and then 

did some more training on the horse in 

a stone corral they found. According 

to Tom, a lady living near the corral 

could see what went on and she didn’t 

think much of his grandfather for letting 

that 19 year old boy ride that bronc. 

Nonetheless, the trip must have been a 

success. “Granddad and Oscar enjoyed 

their time in Yellowstone, getting by on 

what they could catch and shoot. They 

didn’t have any tents, just a bedroll.” 

Tom’s grandfather was an entrepreneur 

with a true pioneer’s spirit, 

determined to build a life as a rancher. 

“To begin with, he didn’t make enough 

money ranching so he rode for some 

of the big outfits in the summer. In the 

1930s he did about everything he could 

think of to hold onto the land and pay the 

taxes,” said Tom. He finally decided to 

open up a butcher shop in Belle Fourche 

to help put food on table. The family 

ended up selling their cattle during this 

trying time but were able to hold onto 

their land and soon rebuilt their Hereford 

cattle herd. “Back in the 30s a lot 

of people were so desperate to sell their 

cattle, they took part in a government 

buyout program. They got $1 head for 

them, then they shot and burned them,” 

said Tom. Of course there was little or 

nothing for the livestock to eat. “But 

my granddad loaded his cattle on the 

train in Belle Fourche and they went to 

Omaha; he went along with them, and

he got $5/head for them,” said Davis. 

“But then Granddad got sick down there 

and nearly died; he was in the hospital 

down there - they didn’t think he’d make 

it out, he spent most of his earnings on 

his hospital bill,” reports Tom. 

Not one to miss an opportunity to 

make a dime, Earl Davis tried his hand 

at selling horses too. “At one time there 

were a lot of wild horses in the Owl 

Creek breaks,” said Tom. “Granddad 

penned the horses, and sold them during 

the war – possibly to the army, I’m 

not sure,” he said. “Then he got rid of 

a bunch of the studs running with those 

wild horses, bought a Percheron stud to 

get some size on the horses, broke them 

to drive, and sold them in Belle Fourche 

for draft or work horses,” tells Tom. 

He said his grandfather then trained 

several of them to take to Canada. At 

the time there was “some kind of a big 

project - a big dam they were building in 

Canada,” so Earl figured there would be 

a good market there for his work horses. 

Unfortunately he had trouble getting 

across the border and spent the winter 

near the border along with the horses 

and a hired hand. Some of the horses 

perished as a result of a harsh winter, 

but the remainder were eventually sold 

to the Canadians. “My grandmother 

thought he’d died over the winter, but 

come spring, Granddad showed up back 

home again,” says Tom. 

Tom holds memories of his grandparents 

close. “Granddad’s house still sits 

up here on the hill. I remember hauling 

water and I remember when we first got 

electricity in 1953. Dad used to love 

to listen to the radio programs in the 

evenings but it never failed, we’d be 

sitting around the radio for one of those 

murder-mysteries, and just when the 

plot would get thick the battery would 

die so we’d have to make up our own 

ending to the story,” Tom recalls. 

The house itself is a part of a bigger 

story too. “Granddad burned up two 

houses before building this one, and 

he darn near burned this one up too,” 

Tom recounts. According to Tom, Earl 

enjoyed smoking a pipe, and was in the 

habit of “striking his match on his back 

pocket, then giving it a flip. Sometimes 

it would land in the woodbox. Most of 

the time the match was out, but sometimes 

it wasn’t,” tells Tom. “One day, as 

Granddad and the hired man were riding 

away from the house, they looked back 

to see it going up in flames, by the time 

they got back to try and save it, there 

was nothing left. So they built a new 

house, but then the hired man was lying 

in bed smoking one night and the bedsheets 

caught fire and the second house 

burned to the ground,” Tom says. “And 

the house that still stands caught fire too, 

from one of Granddad’s matches, but 

they were able to get it put out before 

they lost the house,” said Tom candidly. 

Tom doesn’t smoke. 

Tom’s grandfather purchased the 

“south place” over 60 years ago and 

eventually turned it over to Tom’s father 

Clarence Davis for what they still 

owed. “Granddad got the place for back 

taxes. We moved to the south place the 

same year we bought it because there 

was a well on it,” said Tom. He was 

16. A year later they had to drill a new 

well – going 2,090 feet into the Lakota 

formation before finding water. “Some 

guys from North Dakota owned the 

place and had tried farming it for five 

years with terrible luck. The year we 

bought it, they had a real nice wheat crop

the bright lights of the show ring but that 

doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy.

Newell stopped by and said he’d noticed 

the thick crop of green needle grass coming. 

He said we probably had at least 

$7,000 worth of seed sitting there but 

before we could do anything with it, a 

strong wind came through and shelled 

it all out. It’s never come back like that. 

We did learn to pay more attention to 

that sort of thing, though and were able 

to combine some western wheat grass for 

seed a few years later.” 

“It’s been a challenge to stay in the 

livestock business all these years,” said 

Tom. The family has raised both cattle 

and sheep since the early days and the 

market has been volatile to say the least. 

“Granddad and dad always said that the 

sheep would pay you twice a year – wool 

in the spring and lambs in the fall,” Tom 

said. “And we’ve always had Hereford 

cattle – there is no doubt that they are the 

most profitable breed,” he says. 

He says lately he’s bought bulls from 

Cranston Herefords, Prairie City, S.D., 

and Carmichael Herefords, Meadow, 

S.D., and has been pleased with the offspring 

out of them. “Keith (Carmichael) 

bought my calves at least once and then 

they went to a local feedyard. It was 

fun to have the chance to hear how they 

turned out as fed cattle,” said Tom. He 

usually ships his calves to St. 

Onge Livestock for the first November 

sale. “We sell all of our 

steers along with any of the heifers 

that we don’t plan to breed. 

We sell everything off the cow,” 

said Tom. They sort their own 

replacement heifers out, then 

sell the ones that don’t make 

the cut. He said his sale heifers 

have been made into cows on 

occasion, and the buyers have 

called him looking for more. 

The Davis’s have bought bulls from 

other established Hereford seedstock 

producers over the years including Bakers 

from Rapid City, S.D., Mrnaks and 

Tachenkos in North Dakota and breeders 

from Nebraska. 

Tom’s youngest son Jim and his wife 

Charlie oversee the “north ranch,” while 

his older son Ivan, wife Shannon and kids 

Ty and Serena live on the “south ranch” 

with Tom and Marlene. “They built a 

house on the place and they run some 

cows with us but Ivan works off the ranch 

as a field mechanic,” said Tom. 

Tom Davis continues to attend classes 

at the “school of hard knocks” but he 

never fails to learn a valuable lesson 

from each and every experience. While 

the challenges are many – coyotes, taxes, 

weather, government interference, the 

payoff is great too. 

Hereford cattle have helped make a 

living and a life for the Davis family for 

well over 100 years. 

“We’ve run Hereford cattle all of our 

lives. I like them because of their disposition 

and they also breed back real 

well, you don’t have many dries, plus 

you don’t have to feed them so much 

in the wintertime,” said Tom. No doubt, 

Granddad would have agreed.

Final Farewell 

Clara Louise Giem Nash 

Clara Louise Giem Nash was born 

on Jan. 20, 1926 and passed away on 

Aug. 25, 2010. Her husband, Benjamin 

Franklin Nash and daughter, Patsy 

Nash, preceded her in death. She is survived 

by her sister Hazel Giem Thom; 

six children, Sally, Jane, Harriet, Jeff, 

Clint and Julie Nash; 11 grandchildren 

and five great-grandchildren. 

Clara Louise was a graduate of Canon 

City High School in Canon City, 

CO. As a young woman, Clara Louise 

was a trick roper and played the piano 

for local dances. She was a princess in 

the annual Canon City Blossom Festival 

and known for her amazing grace 

and ethereal beauty. Clara Louise lived 

the life of a ranch woman. She was a 

member of the Kansas Hereford Women 

and a past member of the Colorado 

Cattlewomen (Cowbelles). She did an 

exceptional job of raising her six children 

in the rural lifestyle. 

An incredible cook, Clara Louise at 

one point taught adult cooking classes 

and was particularly famous for her 

pies. She was also a talented painter 

and promising silversmith, though she 

never pursued either seriously. She was 

happiest in her garden or out hunting 

for arrowheads that she was unrivaled 

in finding. She was above all, loved 

and deeply adored by her children who 

will miss her sense of style, emotional 

strength and amazing fortitude.

Viola Ruth McKechnie 

Viola Ruth McKechnie passed away 

on Thursday, Aug. 6, 2010. She was 

born May 24, 1910, the only child born 

to James and Mae (Fishell) Blackford 

on a farm near Hopkins, MO. When 

she was 3 years old, Ruth and her parents 

moved near Milestone, Saskatchewan. 

She attended grade school in Regina, 

Saskatchewan. The family moved 

to Shelby, MT, in 1923. Ruth graduated 

from Shelby High School in 1927, and 

earned her B.A. degree from the Intermountain 

Union College in Helena in 

1931. After college, she worked in the 

law office of G.C. Hoyt in Shelby. 

Ruth married James McKechnie on 

Jan. 16, 1939, in Conrad, MT. Three 

children, Harlan, Bonnie, and Eileen, 

were born to this union. Upon their 

marriage, Jim and Ruth purchased the 

Dunkirk General Store and Post Office, 

where Ruth served as storekeeper and 

postmaster for 19 years, until the post 

office was discontinued in 1958. Jim 

and Ruth were involved in their farming 

and ranching operation, which included 

McKechnie Herefords purebred 

cattle; they enjoyed many good times 

with friends in the Marias Hereford 

Breeders Association. 

Jim and Ruth enjoyed square dancing 

and ballroom dancing. Ruth was 

active for nearly 50 years in Home Extension 

work, and spent many happy 

times in the Prairie Hens Home Extension 

Club. She was a 4-H leader and 

loyal supporter of 4-H for many years. 

Ruth was a devoted and loyal duplicate 

bridge player in the Shelby Unit for 

many years. She was a longtime member 

of the Shelby Methodist Church 

and a 50-year member of Eastern Star. 

Ruth was an unofficial historian of 

the Dunkirk community and the Shelby 

area. With her excellent memory 

of people and events, she was often 

sought out for information on homesteads 

and burial places. 

Ruth was very proud and honored to 

be recognized and celebrated on several 

occasions for her 100th birthday 

in May. 

Ruth is survived by daughters Bonnie 

(Leroy) Flesch of Conrad, and 

Eileen (Don) Pettigrew of Great Falls 

and Shelby; grandchildren Julie (Brad) 

Fisher and their children, Tiffany, 

Kylie and Max, all of Scottsdale, Ariz.; 

Justin McKechnie of Great Falls; Jill 

Newman and her daughter, Hannah, of 

Bozeman; Rachel (Aaron) Brown and 

their children Ashlyn and Ethan, all of

Lisa (Alan) Snell and their children, 

Amanda and Adam, all of Helena; 

Lea (Jay) Peterson and their children, 

Meaghan and Paul, all of Alder; Ty 

(Nancy) Pettigrew and their children, 

Keeley, Kinsey, Kayley and Korey, all 

of Hilmar, Calif.; and Amy (Blake) Ellis 

of Missoula. Ruth also is survived 

by special daughters-in-law Bernice 

Hoffman of Great Falls, and Jo Zeitner 

of Shelby; sisters- and brothers-in-law 

Dorothy Bronken of Missoula, Harris 

(Evelyn) McKechnie of Milton, WA, 

and Sam (Karen) McKechnie of Billings; 

many treasured nieces and nephews, 

along with several much-appreciated 

friends and neighbors. 

Ruth was preceded in death by Jim, 

her beloved husband of 62 years, in 

October 2001, and son Harlan in November 

2005.

Hawks Program 

Cattle are raised practical, honest and 

with as little labor as possible. For the past 

ten crops we have lowered the amount 

of grain fed to develop our bulls and it 

is amazing to see the improvement in 

their feet and their free movement. We 

have always selected our sires with the 

concern of what kind of females they will 

leave us. Never used any show type bulls 

and what few excessive growth bulls we 

did use, it wasn’t for long. Fads come and 

go, but dependable cow herds need to 

be our focus. Nothing is more costly and 

frustrating than to start replacing young 

females that aren’t doing the job. We 

have put tremendous pressure on sound 

udders, dispositions, calving ease and 

overall soundness. Ranches are getting 

larger and the last thing any of us need is 

to increase our labor.

on the cutting circuit and he earned 

a reputation for breeding top quality 

horses. 

Survivors include his children, Chris 

Lamey of Benson, Ariz., Penny Lynch 

and husband, Jerry of Winnemucca,

Thomas E. (Tom) Shaw 

Tom Shaw took his last breath on this 

earth and his first breath in heaven on October 

1, 2010 with his family at his side. 

Tom was born in McCall, ID on 

May 26, 1926, the fourth and youngest 

child of Roy and Lora (Sis) Shaw. He 

graduated from McCall-Donnelly High 

school in 1944 and joined the Navy. In 

the summer of 1945, while on leave in 

Los Angeles, CA he met his future wife, 

Mary Catherine Feltman. It was love at 

first sight for both, and on January 26, 

1946 they were married. Later that year, 

he was discharged from the Navy and 

he & Mary Catherine returned to the 

Shaw Homestead ranch in McCall. Upon 

his return to McCall, Tom was given a 

registered Hereford heifer as a belated 

graduation gift and the concept of Shaw 

Hereford Ranch was born! 

Tom & Mary lived in McCall for the 

first few years of their marriage. During 

this time Linda, Tim & Greg were born. 

In 1959 they bought the home place 

outside of Notus, still home to this day. 

They worked hard together, and as a 

family, to grow Shaw Hereford Ranch 

into a nationally recognized Hereford 

seed stock producer. 

Tom was very active on several boards 

at the community, state & national level. 

He started the first Performance Bull Test 

in the Northwest in 1969 in cooperation 

with the University of Idaho and he also 

helped initiate the Idaho Beef Improvement 

program and the IRM system in 

Idaho. He served on the National Beef 

Board, the National Cattleman’s Association, 

the Idaho Cattle Association Board 

and the American Hereford Association 

board, serving as President of the ICA 

and the AHA. He was inducted into the 

American Hereford Association Hall of 

Fame in 2009. He was a 4-H leader for 

many years and was active in his church, 

both in Caldwell and Cascade. 

Tom was a kind, patient, gentle man 

who knew what had to be done and 

worked hard to make it happen. His word 

was as good as any contract and he set an 

extraordinary example for his family on 

what a husband, father and grandfather 

should be. He loved spending time in 

his old stomping grounds, the mountains 

of McCall, where many fond memories 

were formed with his kids and grandkids: 

fishing, camping, pack trips, picking 

huckleberries, and brewing campfire 

coffee. He will forever be remembered 

for the sly grin that made his eyes sparkle 

and always whistling a tune. 

Tom is survived by his loving wife 

of 64 years, Mary Catherine, a daughter, 

Linda (John) Draney of Nampa, 

two sons, Tim (Tina) Shaw of Cascade 

and Greg (Cleo) Shaw of Caldwell; 10 

grandchildren, Terri Harder of Kahlotus, 

WA, Nick (Erika) Pettinger of Blackfoot, 

Brenda Pettinger of Nampa, Tucker 

(Angie) Shaw of Caldwell, Jeremy Pettinger 

of Grangeville, Tom (Sandelle) 

Shaw of New Plymouth, Marc (Tracy) 

Pettinger of Blackfoot, Sam (Janel) Shaw 

of Caldwell, Jaime (Kelley) Osterman of 

Eugene, OR and Lisa (Kevin) Bennett of 

Nampa; 25 great grandchildren, a sister 

Evelyn (Leon) Goodman of Gooding, a 

very special cousin who was more like 

a brother, Jim Hamrick of Meridian, 

and numerous nieces and nephews. He 

was preceded in death by his parents, 

a brother John, a sister Mildred and a 

grandson-in-law Eric Harder. 

In lieu of flowers memorials may be 

made to Align Hospice, 940 E Carol, 

Meridian, ID 83646 or to a charity of 

your choice. The family would like to 

give special thanks to The Cottages Staff 

in Middleton and to Shauna, Loretta & 

Stephanie with Align Hospice for all the 

excellent care he received.

his family’s homestead north of Cheyenne, 

a son of the late Jay C. and Mary 

(Bevan) Berry. 

D.C. attended a one-room country 

school with four other boys. He then

he was severely wounded during one 

of the bloodiest battles of the Italian 

campaign in Monte Cassino, and he 

spent the next 11 months recovering in 

numerous hospitals. He was awarded 

the Purple Heart, Victory Medal, Good 

Conduct Medal, Middle East Medal

was very proud of his military service 

and he was honorably discharged in

participated in 4-H where he showed 

fat steers and won two State Champion 

Livestock Judging Team titles. He was 

also actively involved in FFA. In 1935, 

he, his father and two brothers purchased 

some registered Hereford heifers 

from F.F. Cykendall Ranch in Roggen, 

CO, which was their beginning in the 

purebred cattle business. Following his 

and his brothers return from the war, 

The Berry’s Herefords was officially 

incorporated and their ranch held an annual 

bull sale from 1941-1980, when the 

entire herd was sold and the corporation

Peters, Simpson Inducted 

Into Iowa Hereford Hall of Fame 

Virgil Peters of Lisbon and Mike 

Simpson of Redfield are the newest 

members of the Iowa Hereford Hall of 

Fame. They were inducted at a ceremony 

during the Iowa Hereford Breeders 

Association annual meeting in Clarinda 

Aug. 28. 

The Iowa Hereford Hall of Fame honors 

people who have had a significant 

impact on the breed in the state. Peters 

and Simpson were chosen for their leadership 

which helped shape the current 

organization. In 1998-99, a joint committee 

of the Iowa Hereford Association 

and Iowa Polled Hereford Association 

met numerous times to discuss joining 

to form one state association for horned 

and polled Hereford breeders in Iowa. 

As presidents of their respective associations, 

Peters and Simpson co-chaired the 

merger committee, which resulted in the 

creation of the Iowa Hereford Breeders 

Association. 

Biographies of the inductees follow: 

Virgil Peters 

Virgil Peters was born in Nebraska, 

where his love of Herefords began with 

a grandfather and father who raised 

registered Herefords. He and his family 

migrated to Iowa when he was 10 years 

old, being enticed by how green it was. 

After graduating from Central City 

High School, Virgil spent two years in 

the Army serving in Korea. He attended 

Iowa State University for two years and 

then started selling for John Deere. He 

invested in Power Equipment in Cedar 

Rapids and managed that store for 20 

years. The next 20 years he was a real 

estate agent and appraiser for Hertz 

Farm Management in Mt. Vernon. 

In 1997 he and his wife, Sharon, who 

worked for Cornell College and is also a 

music teacher, purchased a farm in Mt. 

Vernon, Iowa, on Highway 30 near the 

Palisades Kepler State Park and it was 

there that he maintained and greatly 

enjoyed his herd of 35 Herefords of 

predominantly D-4 breeding. 

For several years, Virgil and Sharon 

hosted a community Christmas Eve 

service in their barn. He enjoyed 

participating in the Iowa Hereford 

Association, serving on the board for 

many years, and working with Mike 

Simpson to establish the Iowa Hereford 

Breeders Association. 

Virgil and Sharon have three children 

and five grandchildren. Recently, they 

sold their farm and retired in Lisbon. 

Mike Simpson 

Although he has lived in Iowa since 

1979, Mike Simpson’s affiliation 

with the state’s Hereford associations 

2010 Iowa Hereford Hall of Fame honorees Virgil Peters, Lisbon (left) and Mike Simpson, 

Redfi eld (right) are shown with Iowa Hereford Breeders Association President Charley Johnson, 

Belle Plaine, at the IHBA annual meeting. 

dates back to 1972. As vice president 

in charge of youth activities for the 

American Polled Hereford Association, 

he oversaw the formation that year 

of the Iowa Junior Polled Hereford 

Association. 

A “city boy” who grew up in Dayton, 

Ohio, Mike began raising and showing 

Polled Herefords during his high school 

years. He worked at several Polled 

Hereford herds during the summers, 

most notably Myrtlewood Farms in 

Kentucky. After graduating from Ohio 

State University, he did graduate work 

at Pennsylvania State University. 

Mike’s first position after college 

was at the American Polled Hereford 

Association, where he implemented 

the APHA’s national youth program 

and helped form numerous state junior 

associations, oversaw the National 

queen contest, worked with the 

National Organization of Poll-ettes 

— and met his wife, Becky. His most 

notable achievement was originating 

and developing the National Junior 

Polled Hereford Heifer Show & Forum, 

the predecessor to and prototype for the 

current Junior National Hereford Expo 

(JNHE). 

In 1979, Mike followed his boss 

and mentor, Orville Sweet, to the 

National Pork Producers Council and 

the Simpsons moved to rural Redfield, 

IA, bringing with them the cow herd 

that was established in 1974. Simpson

that was established in 1974. Simpson 

Polled Herefords currently consists 

of 20-25 cows, with an emphasis on 

performance. Mike worked in the pork 

industry for nearly 24 years; he now 

has a consulting business managing an 

association involved with veterinary 

and animal husbandry scientists 

concerning animal welfare. 

Mike has served in many capacities 

in the state Hereford associations. He 

was on the steering committee for the 

1996 Junior National in Des Moines 

and was a director and president of 

the Iowa Polled Hereford Association. 

He and Becky have been editors of 

the IHBA membership directory since 

2000 and have managed the Hereford 

sale at the Iowa Beef Expo since 2008. 

Mike has been announcer for the Iowa 

Junior Hereford Preview Show for 

several years and also assists in the ring 

at the State Fair. 

The Simpsons are the parents of two 

grown sons – Travis (married to Sara), 

who lives in Des Moines; and Kevin, 

who lives in Thermopolis, Wyoming. 

Both boys were active in the junior 

program on state and national levels, 

exhibiting at eight junior nationals. 

The Junior National is still a favorite 

activity for Mike – he often encourages 

young people and their families to 

participate and he and Becky usually 

make the JNHE their vacation 

destination each year. 

The National Hereford Feedout: 

What Have We Learned 

By Tom Granzow 

The National Hereford Feedout 

(NHF) has been in place for six years 

and before that, the Genetic Outreach 

Program had been going on since the 

early 1990s. Through all of the Hereford 

and Hereford cross cattle placed on 

feed, fed out, and harvested for carcass 

data to be assimilated, what have we 

learned? The NHF does not only test 

hand-picked cattle from select herds as 

some other breeds have done. Some of 

the NHF participants bring the whole 

calf crop, some bring the light steers, 

some bring the heavy steers, and some 

test a variety of genetics from within 

their own herd in an effort to see which 

sires are doing the real work for them 

and their customers. The test is open to 

both horned and polled cattle and has 

had a very wide genetic representation 

from both horned and polled breeders. 

It is indeed a true cross 

section of the Hereford 

breed. Although 

the NHF is open to 

any CHB qualifying 

cattle, over 80% of 

the cattle tested have 

been straight Hereford. 

In the last two 

years, some heifers 

The data from the 

2010 feedout has been 

gathered up and the 

results clearly show that 

the trend for Hereford 

cattle working in the 

feedyard and carcass 

phase is confirmed 

again. 

were also tested. 

The data from the 

2010 feedout has been 

gathered up and the 

results clearly show 

that the trend for Hereford 

cattle working in 

the feedyard and carcass 

phase is confirmed 

again. Over the years, 

the Hereford breeders involved have improved 

the muscling, marbling, growth 

and yield of the Hereford cattle tested 

without negatively affecting the most 

important trait of all, EFFICIENCY. 

Here are this last year’s results and 

comparisons. 

The winter phase of the NHF started 

in December when 281 steers were 

placed on feed. Participants in the 

test were Oleen Brothers, Dwight, 

Kansas, Gustafson Herefords, William 

Gustafson, and Ray Allaman, all from 

Junction City, Kansas, 

MM Ranch Polled Herefords, 

Chanute, Kansas, 

KEG Herefords, Valentine, 

Nebraska, Harmony 

Herefords, Quinter, Kansas, 

Bookcliff Herefords 

and Katherine Krauss, 

from Russell, Kansas, and 

Schu-Lar Polled Here- 


fords, Lecompton, Kansas. 

In the performance phase of the winter 

test, the steers gained at a 3.87 lbs./day 

clip and at a cost of gain of $.52/lb. of 

gain (feed only) and a $.59/lb. of gain 

total. They did this while consuming 

just 5.26 lbs of feed per pound of gain 

compared to a yard average of 5.69. This 

was a 9% advantage to the Herefords in 

feed consumed and a 12% advantage in 

feed costs. Yet, the Hereford steers were 

even with the yard average on gain at 

3.60 pounds per day. This is a $42.38 

feed savings per animal to the Hereford 

genetics. Definitely significant, no 

matter how many you are feeding. In 

the carcass phase, the Herefords had a 

Yield of 65.14%, a Final Yield Grade 

of 2.97, Hot Carcass Weight of 809.84, 

a Backfat measurement of .49, and a 

marbling score of 5.0 (Low Choice) 

all very acceptable in carcass merit.

National Hereford Feedout 


The rib eye area averaged 13.35 and 

needed to be only 12.86 PAR. PAR is 

the REA that is acceptable to maintain a 

Choice Quality Grade. The live weight 

on this group of steers averaged 1,243 

pounds, also very acceptable. 

The spring phase of the test began 

with 184 steers being placed on feed 

in February. Participants in this test 

were Douthit 4V Herefords, St. Francis, 

Kansas, H Bar Ranch, Scott City, 

Kansas, Hora Prime Beef, Iowa, Krieg 

Herefords, Illinois, Rausch Herefords 

and Simon Herefords, both from South 

Dakota, and Shumaker Polled Herefords, 

Wetmore, Kansas. Miller Ranch, 

Manhattan, Kansas and Shumaker 

Polled Herefords also fed heifers in 

this test. 

As in the winter test, 

the cattle involved in the 

spring phase did the Hereford 

breed proud. They 

gained at 3.87 lbs per day 

(yard average 3.74), and 

had a feed cost of gain of 

$.51/lb. of gain (feed only) 

and a total cost of gain at 

$.61/lb of gain (yard average 

$.67). This is a 9% 

advantage to the Herefords in cost of 

gain and a 12% better efficiency rating 

in feed consumed. And, they beat 

the yard average in gain. This makes 

the Hereford genetic advantage $29.18 

per head. This group of Herefords also 

held it’s own and excelled in the carcass 

traits as did the winter steers. They 

had an average Rib Eye Area of 13.62, 

an average backfat of .51, an average 

Marbling score of 5.1 (Low Choice), 

a Hot Carcass Weight of 857.25 and a 

64.5% Yield. All of this computed to 

an average Yield Grade of 3.14. The 

average live weight on this group was 

1,327.34 lbs. All of these numbers are 

very acceptable in today’s beef industry. 

So, what have we learned? Remember 

when the Herefords were said to be light 

muscled, too many YG 4s and 5s and 

not enough gain in the finishing phase. 

Well, the industry is beginning to look 

again and what they see is worth another 

This is a 9% advantage 

to the Herefords in cost 

of gain and a 12% better 

efficiency rating in 

feed consumed. And, 

they beat the yard 

average in gain. This 

makes the Hereford 

genetic advantage

look. While many other 

breeds have made a mad 

dash to raise marbling at 

the expense of rib eye 

area, thus having more 

4s and 5s, the Hereford 

breed has maintained a 

steady rise in marbling 

and muscling both, thus 

producing a more desirable 

end product than 

many of our competitors. 

We also are unique in that we have 

a market for our Select product as a 

healthy alternative in the beef case that 

still carries all of the juiciness and taste 

of the Choice product. 

Advantage Hereford! 

Along with better carcass 

quality, we have 

increased gain and 

still are the most efficient 

breed by far. Just 

ask any cattle feeder if 

he wouldn’t take a $30 

to $40 profit per head 

and see what he says. 

And, he gets that for 

no additional charge! 

It’s probably even better 

in a cross breed- 

ing situation. 

Also, 

remember 

that the total 

cost of 

gain takes 

into account 

the 

medicine 

and other 

incidentals 

involved 

in feeding. 

So, the old 

myth of 


getting sick 

While many other 

breeds have made 

a mad dash to raise 

marbling at the expense 

of rib eye area, 

thus having more 4s 

and 5s, the Hereford 

breed has maintained 

a steady rise in marbling 

and muscling 

both, thus producing 

a more desirable end 

product than many of 

our competitors. 

more and costing more in the incidental 

costs is also just that, old news. We win 

the cost of gain across the board, not 

just in feed efficiency. The National 

Hereford Feedout has also done something 

that no other breed has done. We 

have tested cattle from all management 

systems, all genetic plans, horned and 

polled Herefords, and have shown that 

these traits are predictable across the 

Hereford breed. Be sure and contact 

any of the participants in the NHF tests 

to get the specific results from their 

cattle and incorporate it into your herds 

as you see fit. It is proven and tested, 

not speculation or fabricated numbers. 

Thank you to all of the participants 

that have put their cattle in the NHF 

over the years. Plans are under way to 

test cattle again this winter and spring.

James Carmichael Memorial Scholarship 

for Youth with Hereford Background 

James Carmichael, Meadow, SD, was a lifelong Hereford Breeder & Cattleman from 

northwest South Dakota. He was a quiet man, very devoted to his family and friends with 

a great appreciation of all livestock, especially his Hereford cattle. He very much appreciated

— Nebraska Hereford Tour 2010 — 

September 10 and 11 

The bus drove from headquarters in Hastings to the first tour stop without going over one hill. 

The number of hills increased as the tour progressed to the south and west. Tour guests got 

to see how diverse the topography of Nebraska is in only this one area of the state. 

Saturday’s first stop where hosts Neil and 

Jean Priefert make their introductions while 

tour patrons enjoyed a breakfast of biscuits 

and gravy. 

The Wythers Family also hosted 

the first stop. Here Dave Wythers 

speaks about their operation. 

Capek Farms brought cattle 

to this stop. Glen Capek talks 

about his program. 

Sunday began with a breakfast stop at the Webster County Fairgrounds 

in Bladen. Kyle Rutt stands with his family as he explains 

the cattle displayed by Rutt Herefords.

HEREFORD AMERICA • November/December 2009 

I write this under 

October’s 

bright blue sky. 

My Grandfather 

said that in Nebraska 

there are 

11 months of bad 

weather and then 

comes October. 

So far, October 

has lived up to his 

prediction. 

September was 

a busy month for 

the NHA. The 

State Fair at its 

new location was 

reported in the last 

issue. 

The following 

weekend was the 

Nebraska Hereford 

Tour. The 

comments I’ve 

gotten have all 

been positive. 

Wearing two hats 

this year as tour 

director and a tour 

host, I was pleased 

with the crowd. 

I have it on good 

authority that our 

crowd far surpassed 

the numbers 

on the Angus 

tour held the same 

weekend. We had 

a young man from 

North Carolina 

that spent part of 

his vacation on 

the tour with us.

He assured me he had a good time with what was a completely new experience 

for him. If you like cattle, especially Herefords, isn’t that a great holiday 

seeing all those great Herefords and not doing any of the chores. As usual the 

hosts at the meal stops provided great meals along with treats at all the other 

stops. It’s not too soon to plan on taking in next year’s tour. Try riding the bus 

for a truly stress free vacation. Pictures of the tour are found on the previous 

and following pages. 

Husker Harvest Days was two days after the tour. Unusually, we had a light 

crowd on Tuesday but normal on the following days. There seemed to be more 

interest in using Hereford bulls. I passed out more directories than in the past.

HEREFORD AMERICA • February 2010 

These Dana pairs are standing on table top fl at land. Just like 

the previous day, the land gets rougher as the day progresses.

with the tour over its entire 

distance. She’s still in good 

humor on the second day.

This shows how resilient 

nature is. A year ago the 

tour area was a desert. 

With a lot of rain, the jungle 

creeps in to encompass 

anything standing 

still. 

Factor 

Gene and Serena Boner are two of the most 

faithful Hereford tour followers. Once every 

6 or 7 years they get on the other side of the 

mike and host a tour stop. This year they had 

the Sunday noon meal stop. 

Yosts displayed their herd bulls individually and the pairs in several pens.

Words of Caution for 

Fall Cattle Work 

Most all of us have attended Beef 

Quality Assurance meetings and discussed 

the appropriate use of vaccines, 

antibiotics, and other drugs in beef 

cattle. The discussions have focused 

on effective use, administration, and 

withdrawal times. We always talk about 

the need to read the label and follow 

the label instructions. One of the areas 

on the label that not much time is spent 

on is the section labeled CAUTION 

or PRECAUTION. On some labels it 

will direct you to report any adverse 

or “untoward” reactions. First of all, 

what is an “untoward” reaction? Simply 

put, an untoward reaction (or adverse 

reaction) is anything that happens that 

is detrimental to the animal in any 

way — shortness of breath, collapsing, 

swellings, bleeding, infections, or any 

other abnormal reaction seen after the 

administration of a product. Cautionary 

statements can pertain to the animal 

or they can pertain to you or anyone 

else that handles the drugs or products.

Three generations of McMahons line up for introductions at MCM Polled Herefords. The 

operation hosted the Saturday supper of Certified Hereford Beef. 

A group of anxious 

boys wait for a CHB 

sample. 

By afternoon the cattle are happy 

laying in the shade. 

Visitors check out the MCM cattle as the evening shadows lengthen. The bus returned to Hastings 

before dark but the party didn’t end until much later. 


In this month’s column I will discuss 

some of the reasons for these cautionary 

statements for some commonly used 

products. 

Prostaglandins 

The first of these products we will 

discuss are the prostaglandins used for 

estrus synchronization and other uses in 

beef cows and heifers. The trade names 

of commonly used prostaglandins include 

Estrumate® and Lutalyse®, both contain 

prostaglandin F2-alpha (PGF 2-α). These 

drugs cause the corpus luteum (yellow 

body) on the ovary to regress (lyse or 

disappear). Therefore, these are important 

tools when synchronizing cows or when 

aborting heifers. One of the precautions 

when using prostaglandins is directly 

related to this action. PGF 2-α also causes 

the corpus luteum on the ovary of humans 

to regress and thus can cause abortion 

or miscarriage in women. Therefore, 

women should not handle this product if 

they are pregnant or might be pregnant as 

it can cause the loss of the fetus. Another 

action of PGF 2-α is to cause bronchial 

constriction in some people — particularly 

those who may be asthmatic. So 

people who are asthmatic should avoid 

the use of these products. An additional 

caution is that these products can be 

absorbed through the skin, small cuts in 

the skin, and through mucous membranes 

such as the mouth or eyes. So injecting 

these products is not necessary for an untoward 

or even life-threatening reaction 

to occur. It is a good idea when handling 

these products to use latex gloves and to 

be very careful to avoid squirting the solution 

toward your face. The prostaglandins 

are wonderful products, very useful; 

however, these are serious precautions 

and you should always use appropriate 

techniques to assure those who handle 

these products do so safely. 

CIDRS 

CIDRs are plastic implants that are 

also used to synchronize cattle. They are 

made of a special plastic material that 

releases progesterone when the device 

is inserted into the vagina of cows or 

heifers. Because they release a steady 

amount of progesterone, they can be 

used to synchronize a group of females. 

Because the progesterone can be absorbed 

by your skin, it is suggested you 

also wear latex gloves when handling 

these materials. The possible reaction to 

this type or product is much less severe 

than with prostaglandins, but should be 

avoided nonetheless. 

Brucella vaccines 

Many times a year I am asked why 

veterinarians are the only individuals allowed 

to administer the Brucella vaccine 

(RB-51) to heifers. There are several reasons, 

including third party recording of 

the number of cattle vaccinated and their 

herd of origin. But the most important 

reason is that this vaccine is a potentially 

deadly product when injected into people. 

In fact, it does not have to be injected 

to cause problems. The reconstituted 

vaccine can be squirted into your eye or 

splashed onto an open wound and result 

in a severe infection. The Brucella vaccine 

(whether the old Strain 19 or the new 

RB-51 vaccine) is a modified live bacterial 

vaccine. While it is modified to not 

cause disease in cattle the vaccine can still 

cause disease in people. The disease in 

humans is called undulant fever and while 

it does not cause death in most patients, it 

causes people to have recurrent episodes 

of illness similar to malaria. Undulant 

fever usually causes illness in people for 

7-10 years, despite therapy. Additionally, 

veterinarians can develop an allergy to 

the Brucella vaccine and this can cause 

immediate health problems on subsequent 

exposure. Because the Brucella vaccine 

itself is potentially so harmful to human 

health its use is restricted to veterinarians.

Who Buys Black Hereford Bulls? 

Steven and Michele Birkholtz of Willow Lake, South Dakota bought their first Black Hereford bull in 2006. Since then they have 

bought 11 more. This hard working husband and wife team are the third generation to work this land. Steven noted, Ò My grandfather, 

Clyde Birkholtz once sold weaned calves for $4.00 each in the 1930Õ s. He nearly lost this place twice before he got it paid off. Now, 

my family has been here over 100 years.Ó Neither Steven nor his father, J. Owen Birkholtz, have ever bought any more land, but they 

certainly have improved it. The place looks like a picture postcard. It is well kept, efficient and well run.

do what ranchers have always done. They try 

something new. Ò Neighbors look at the Birkholtz 

as innovators. They kind of set the pace 

for things around here,Ó said Dr. Ted Warkenthien 

with Clark Veterinary Service in Clark, 

South Dakota. He said, Ò Steven even designs 

and builds cattle handling equipment for 

people just to keep busy during the winter 

months. He has a welding shop and is pretty 

handy making things.Ó Doc Warkenthien said, 

Ò everything around here has always been 

Angus on Angus, until the Birkholtz started 

with Black Herefords. Maybe others will 

follow.Ó 

Randy Owen, part owner of South Dakota 

Livestock Sales in Watertown, knows the 

Birkholtz cattle well. Ò Steven and Michele are 

the only ones round here using Black Hereford 

bulls but it has worked well for them. Their 

cattle sell as well or maybe better than any



(Who Buys Black Hereford Bulls? Cont.) 

cattle we sell all year.Ó Owen 

said 90% of the cattle that go 

through his sale barn are straight 

Angus. He said, Ò Red cattle in 

this country will bring just as 

much as blacks, but we separate 

them off usually because the 

buyers make us do it. Order 

buyers will get orders for all 

blacks.Ó He also noted that full 

loads outsell smaller lots. Ò So if 

you can match up a set of cattle 

for what the order buyer wants in 

full loads like the Birkholtz do, 

you can do well,Ó he said. 

On the weekends, it is off to a 

Rodeo. Steven was a pretty 

serious calf roper in his day and 

plans to get back to it when the 

kids go off to college. For now it 

is the kidsÕ turn. Twins, Courtney 

races barrels and Cole ropes 

steers. Together they enter team 

roping. Ò We built a 70 x 210 foot 

hoop building with an indoor 

arena so they could practice their 

Rodeo events. It is nothing for 

us to drive 500 miles to a Rodeo 

and another 500 miles to get 

back home.Ó said Michele who 

grew up in nearby Bryant, South 

Dakota just twelve miles away. 

Cole and Courtney take their 

Rodeo skills to college next fall 

with the hope that a fourth 

generation will return to the 

family business someday.

Cautions and Precautions... 


Micotil® 

Micotil® (generic name—tilmicosin) 

is an antibiotic that is similar to tylosin 

(Tylan®) and is very effective against the 

agents that cause pneumonia, particularly 

in feedlot cattle. While Micotil® is safe 

and effective for cattle it has been the 

cause of death in a number of people 

when injected. The drug causes serious 

toxicity of the heart muscle in humans and 

the manufacturer recommends extreme 

caution when using this product. Recommendations 

include (1) do not use in 

automatically powered syringes, (2) use 

extreme caution to avoid self-injection, 

(3) keep out of the reach of children, (4) 

do not work alone when using this product, 

and (5) seek immediate medical help 

if the product is accidentally injected. 

Elanco, the company that manufactures 

Micotil®, has developed a new syringe 

specifically for use with their product. 

It has a three step mode of action which 

greatly decreases the chance of accidental 

injection. If you use this drug you should 

seriously consider using this special 

syringe. Common antidotes like epinephrine 

could increase the possibility of an 

accidental injection being lethal. Thus, 

the cautionary label for this product is 

extremely important to read, understand, 

and follow. 

Allergic reactions 

A number of products can cause allergic 

reactions and include such common 

items as penicillin. If you notice any 

redness, itching or swelling after using 

any products be sure and use latex gloves 

the next time you handle those particular 

products. This may help prevent a serious 

allergic reaction. Most all products have 

the potential to cause allergic reactions, 

so be aware. Of course cattle can be allergic 

to products and you should have 

epinephrine on hand in case one of the 

animals becomes ill and you should have 

gone over the proper use of epinephrine 

with your veterinarian as part of your 

standard chute side protocols.

$15,000. 

Needle sticks 

No matter how careful you are with 

syringes and products around cattle accidental 

needle sticks can happen. Because 

many barnyard bacteria may be on these 

needles, infections at the site of the injection 

can occur. These infections may have 

severe consequences particularly if they 

occur in the hand. The hand has many 

complex joints, tendons, and ligaments. 

Also, it has a relatively limited blood 

supply (slower response to infection or 

inflammation). If you accidentally stick 

yourself with a needle, stop and wash the 

area thoroughly with soap and clean water. 

If swelling, redness, or pain develops be 

sure to see a physician as soon as possible. 

Cautions regarding vaccine 

and drug storage 

Vaccines and most drugs should be 

stored in the refrigerator and the usual 

storage temperatures recommended are 35- 

45ºF. Vaccines stored above or below these 

temperatures are prone to damage after a 

relatively short period of time. Research 

in the southeastern U.S. and in some western 

states has shown that only about 1/3 

of ranch and farm refrigerators maintain 

temperatures between 35-45ºF. Therefore, 

many of us are not storing our vaccines and 

drugs at the recommended temperatures. 

Temperatures below 35ºF are much more 

destructive than those above 45ºF. Obtain 

a high-low thermometer and place it in 

your refrigerator at the location you store 

your vaccines to be sure your refrigerator 

is set appropriately and is maintaining the 

correct temperatures. It doesn’t do much 

good to vaccinate the cattle with product 

that has been damaged. 

The bottom line is to be careful when 

using cattle health products. Make sure 

everyone is educated about the appropriate 

manner to use these products. Finally, 

be sure to read, understand, and follow all 

precautionary statements on the product 

label including the proper way to store all 

materials.
