The spring<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> sales in<br />
Montana started<br />
with a big bang.<br />
Fort Keogh in<br />
Miles City, started<br />
with the best sale<br />
they have<br />
Byron Bayers<br />
had in several<br />
years and the momentum continued<br />
to grow with each sale.<br />
We saw breeders from all over<br />
the nation, and Canada, attend these<br />
sales and most of them bought<br />
cattle. New investors in the cattle<br />
business bought high priced cattle<br />
and it is always good to see new<br />
interest in our <strong>Hereford</strong> industry.<br />
Even though the prices were<br />
substantial, many commercial<br />
herds purchased bulls. We<br />

As we wind up<br />
our last issue of the<br />
spring and I look<br />
back on our busy<br />
year it really<br />
amazes me all the<br />
things that have<br />
Jill Hotchkiss transpired within<br />
the <strong>Hereford</strong> industry.<br />
The best thing I see going on in<br />
this year is breeders finally standing<br />
up for themselves and taking action<br />
to shape their own future. I guess<br />
desperate times call for desperate<br />
measures. But why has it taken<br />
such a long time for breeders to<br />
finally stand up for themselves? I<br />
guess some of you probably “aren’t<br />
there” yet but the time has come<br />
to start promoting your own<br />
business and the <strong>Hereford</strong> breed.<br />
In the last few months we have had<br />

Feed Efficiency, Meat Quality, Docile<br />
Temperament, All In a Whiteface Package<br />
By Tom Krauss, Chairman & Tom Granzow, Manager<br />
of the National <strong>Hereford</strong> Feedout<br />
The <strong>Hereford</strong> breed has long been known for being fertile,<br />
efficient, and easier to handle than the other breeds, but data<br />
gathered over the past several years backs this up<br />
conclusively, and also shows that the <strong>Hereford</strong> breed excels<br />
in meat quality, too. More and more, the industry is waking<br />
up to realize that this great breed of cattle does indeed have<br />
what it takes to be a vibrant part of the beef industry and is<br />
Steers at Upstream Ranch, Taylor, NE.<br />
Cox Chosen as New CHB Chairman<br />
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Fellow board members elected Bill Cox, Pomeroy,<br />
Wash., as the 2007 Certified <strong>Hereford</strong> Beef (CHB) LLC president. Cox has<br />
served on the CHB LLC and <strong>America</strong>n <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
Association (AHA) boards since 2004, and will now<br />
focus primarily on issues related to marketing the<br />
CHB ® brand.<br />
As a passionate <strong>Hereford</strong> breeder, Cox is especially<br />
excited to help advance a brand that creates demand<br />
for <strong>Hereford</strong> genetics. More than 37.9 million lb. of<br />
CHB were sold in fiscal year 2006, creating a pull<br />
demand for 465,261 head of commercial <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
cattle.<br />
Cox says that selling even more product in<br />
upcoming years will require growing the CHB LLC<br />
marketing team. This process has already begun with<br />
(continued on page 22)<br />
Bill Cox<br />
poised to improve the beef cattle herd as a whole in the<br />
United States and around the world. Efficiency is the<br />
buzzword, and the <strong>Hereford</strong> breed has compiled the<br />
firepower in data to prove that we are the most efficient<br />
breed in the industry. The other breeds are going to come at<br />
us with all they have, but we have one thing they will not be<br />
able to show. Efficiency is inherent to <strong>Hereford</strong>s, and we<br />
prove it every day.<br />
In data collected through the Genetic Outreach Program<br />
and more recently the National <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
Feedout, the <strong>Hereford</strong> breed shines<br />
through in gain, efficiency of gain and<br />
in meat quality. The GOP was started<br />
in 1994 by the AHA and has been<br />
administered every year since then,<br />
currently being managed by the Kansas<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Association and the AHA. With<br />
over twelve years of data collected on<br />
over 7,000 steers, the results show that<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s had an<br />
average daily gain of<br />
10% better than the<br />
Kansas yard<br />
averages of the time<br />
frame, converted<br />
dry matter feed at a<br />
9.2% better average<br />
and also had a more<br />
than 9% overall<br />
advantage in cost of<br />
gain. What is more<br />
interesting is that<br />
over the time of the<br />
test, the <strong>Hereford</strong>s<br />
actually have<br />
improved against the<br />
averages in all of<br />
these categories.<br />
We have indeed<br />
made significant<br />
progress through the<br />
diligent breeding<br />
practices of<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> breeders.<br />
These cattle were<br />
efficient way before<br />

Rockeman, had bulls there. Since Dad<br />
passed away a year ago, I have taken<br />
over his cow herd, that he had built up<br />
over 55 years, and have become an avid<br />
reader of your articles in <strong>Hereford</strong><br />

on the industry that I find really<br />

to offer to the cattle industry, from good<br />

Jill:<br />
I just read your editorial and pulled<br />
out my copy of the 1961 <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
Journal -July herd bull edition. Mary<br />
Anne Steinle’s painting appears on the<br />
front cover of that edition. According<br />
to the notes within, Steinle’s painting<br />
was actually based upon a drawing by<br />
the famous livestock illustrator from<br />
pre-camera days — N.A. Throop. I<br />
have to wonder if Throop’s original<br />
drawing still exists.<br />
Thumbing through that same 1961<br />
edition, I came upon a piece entitled<br />
“<strong>Hereford</strong> Business” written by an<br />
unknown <strong>Hereford</strong> Journal staff writer.<br />
Considering your comments regarding<br />
the “bread and butter” commercial<br />
base, you might like to read the full text<br />
some time. Here’s a couple of<br />
segments:<br />
“There is no disposition to deny for<br />
a moment the significance and<br />
importance of sale-topping and showwinning<br />
performance. But the real<br />
steak-and-potatoes end of the <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
business is something else. . . . The<br />
largest segment of the registered<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> industry, and one that is<br />
absolutely vital, comprises the<br />
thousands of breeders whose principal<br />
business is the production and sale of<br />
good bulls for use in the good<br />
commercial beef herds in every part of<br />
the country. Without volume activity in<br />
this field, all the rest would soon begin<br />
to wither. It is, in fact, the lifeblood of<br />
the broad, general registered <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
activity.”<br />
“There is nothing wrong with having<br />
a hobby, if that is what a man wants.<br />
Some men breed horses simply because<br />
they like horses, so why should not a<br />
man raise cattle on the same basis if<br />
what he mainly wants is to find<br />
recreation and pleasure in the<br />
undertaking? If a $20,000 bull<br />
occasionally changes hands on such<br />
basis, who is to say that it is wrong? If<br />
men of similar inclination find zest in<br />
the interchange of breeding stock and<br />
dollars, who is there to say that this is<br />
not the best of all avocations? And it<br />
does happen that some men go forward<br />
from such beginnings to become<br />
serious breeders and solid contributors<br />
to breed progress. But such operations<br />
as initially concieved do not constitute<br />
the beef cattle business. Rather, the<br />
beef cattle business, as a business,<br />
involves the annual production of a<br />
great many thousands of bulls good<br />
enough to improve the average quality<br />
and conformation of the purebred and<br />
commercial herds they serve. It<br />
involves the production of hundreds of<br />
thousands of Whiteface feeder calves<br />
with built-in efficiency and<br />
performance. It involves the feeding<br />
and finishing of those hundreds of<br />
thousands of calves which ultimately<br />
provide the bulk of the choice beef<br />

Dear Jill,<br />
We agree! It is time every one of us<br />
who have stayed with the <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
through the years stand up and be<br />
counted. What other breed has as nice<br />
a disposition to work with along with a<br />
top notch fertility rate?<br />
We have a modest sized herd of commercial<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s and are starting to<br />
build a small bunch of registered <strong>Hereford</strong>s.<br />
Only during the breeding season<br />
are the registered <strong>Hereford</strong>s separated<br />
into a different pasture and isolated<br />
from the commercial <strong>Hereford</strong>s but<br />
even then there is no special feed or<br />
conditions. All our cows are expected<br />
to perform equally well as to calving<br />
percentage, calving ease, re-breeding<br />
rate, feed conversion efficiency and<br />
disposition.<br />
In the fall at weaning time, we sell<br />
the culls, be it due to age, cripples, poor<br />
udders, etc., whether they are commercial<br />
or registered. These cows, after<br />
raising a calf, are thin because they<br />
have been putting a lot into that calf so<br />
they average around 1,050 to 1,200 lbs.<br />
and they’ve raised that calf on grazing<br />
grass with only salt and some mineral<br />
to supplement. We’ve never frame<br />
scored our cattle but guess that they<br />
must be at least a 5 on the average.<br />
This winter, because of the drought,<br />
all of our pastures are bare with no<br />
grazing available anywhere so every<br />
bite those cows eat is being fed to them<br />
and we know exactly what it has taken<br />
to winter them. They are in good shape<br />
to calve, have a strong calf and nurse it.<br />
This has all been done on less than 20<br />
pounds of hay and one pound of Loomix<br />
per head per day.<br />
This drought again pinpoints the<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> superiority in all areas. With<br />
that kind of efficiency, who needs to<br />
use black or any other color to crossbreed?<br />
Certainly not us plus those <strong>Hereford</strong>s<br />
definitely are a lot nicer to work<br />
with than any other breed!<br />
We do not believe we are the only <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
people who can say this so come<br />
on, stand up and speak out!<br />

Is <strong>Hereford</strong> the next<br />
Shorthorn breed?<br />
As you read that title, you may<br />
wonder what is really meant by that.<br />
As I explain what I am getting at, I hope<br />
not to offend anyone, but to make you<br />
think what direction I hope to see the<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> breed heading.<br />
The past several issues of <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
<strong>America</strong> has had several editorials that<br />
have breeders taking a stance on issues.<br />
i.e., Jill Hotchkiss talked about the<br />
breed being at a crossroads, Barclay<br />
Kreth wrote about the <strong>Hereford</strong>s<br />
registrations and A.I. use and price as<br />
it relates to the Angus breed. Ed Hawks<br />
voiced his opinion when it came to<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s and carcass data. All those<br />
people were right, but where does it<br />
put us going forward?<br />
Now I don’t claim to know much<br />
when it comes to the Shorthorn breed,<br />
but I know what I see. Years ago, they<br />
seemed to have their place in the cattle<br />
industry. Cattle that milked well and<br />
were used in a crossbreeding program.<br />
Where are they today? I am not saying<br />
they can’t do now what they did then,<br />
it’s just that if you do see a breeder<br />
using Shorthorn genetics, it’s almost<br />
certain they have something to do with<br />
club calves and the showring, not their<br />
profit potential in the cattle industry.<br />
What does that have to do with<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s? Why is it every time I pick<br />
up a copy of our national breed<br />
publication, the emphasis seems to be<br />
what show just got over, which one is<br />
next, and isn’t it great <strong>Hereford</strong>s had<br />
the largest amount of entries out of all<br />
the breeds at the show? The Angus<br />
breed along with sponsors can put up<br />
over $30,000 for their national carcass<br />
contest, but we the <strong>Hereford</strong>s sit back<br />
and do little.<br />
I hate to think that the financial<br />
efforts of the <strong>America</strong>n <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
Association (AHA) through both<br />
premiums and labor, are best spent<br />
through the showring to forward the<br />
breed. Now don’t all of you show folks<br />
string me up just yet. I do believe the<br />
show circuit has it’s place and can serve<br />
it’s purpose of marketing and<br />
showcasing superior genetics of the<br />
breed, I just don’t believe it is where<br />
tomorrows cattle industry is going to<br />
take us.<br />
I don’t believe AHA is wrong for<br />
having the shows. It’s where the past<br />
leadership directed part of its efforts. I<br />
do believe AHA’s efforts to move the<br />
breed ahead through the commercial<br />
sector are vastly understaffed, under<br />
manned, and underfinanced. It would<br />
be interesting to know of all the monies<br />
collected through registrations, what<br />
percentage gets paid out through<br />
premiums and staff time at those events<br />
directly relating to the shows. We seem<br />
to blame the Angus “people” for every<br />
thing the <strong>Hereford</strong>s didn’t do right. You<br />
don’t have to look far to see they have<br />
their A game going on, and the ball<br />
rolling.<br />
If you ask any of the cattle producers<br />
in your area how their cattle do in the<br />
feedlot and on the rail, the majority of<br />
them tell you that they perform quite<br />
well, but really have no clue as to how<br />
they really do. I posed the question<br />
during the state presidents meeting in<br />
Kansas City last fall. With the<br />
technology coming about in the cattle<br />
business today through age and source<br />
verification, tracing and tracking and<br />
other integration ideas being put in<br />
place, wouldn’t the <strong>Hereford</strong> breed be<br />
on the fast track if they were able to<br />
help commercial cattlemen place their<br />
cattle with buyers that would allow<br />
them to get feedlot and carcass data<br />
back on those cattle?<br />
If you would like to at least get some<br />
sort of an idea, how your cattle are<br />
performing, place a few head of steers<br />
in the National <strong>Hereford</strong> Feedout. All<br />
information is kept confidential, so you<br />
don’t have to feel like you will be put<br />
up against others and judged. The<br />
A four year old produced at Anchor <strong>Hereford</strong>s that now weighs in at<br />
2680 meat pounds, has been added to our herd bull battery of eight,<br />
that is among the best in Montana. 50N has some of the good <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
cattle in North <strong>America</strong> in his pedigree. Come by some day and see the<br />

Ed Hawks expressed his opinion on<br />
the need for carcass quality in<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s. He’s right, the <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
breed was not built on grade and yield,<br />
but we can’t ignore carcass traits if we<br />
expect this breed to compete in the<br />
future. Along with looking forward we<br />
need to check behind us occasionally<br />

to Thursday, March 8 th due to a fast<br />
moving blizzard with lots of wind and<br />
snow creating treacherous travel<br />
conditions. The move was a good one.<br />
The weather was great and the cattle<br />
were relaxed and enjoying the springlike<br />
temperatures.<br />
Byron’s Editorial...<br />
(continued from page 1)<br />
congratulate Fort Keogh, Holden<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s, and Cooper <strong>Hereford</strong>s for<br />
setting the pace in the north country<br />
for the spring sale season. (Note the<br />
sales results in the following pages.)<br />
The weather was warm but the<br />
winds for the Holden sale were terribly<br />
strong, reported 70 miles per hour in<br />
some areas. Not good weather for<br />
people wanting to fly.<br />
At Montana <strong>Hereford</strong> Assn.<br />
President Dale Sands’ place, the wind<br />
was so strong that at 4:00 in the<br />
morning, the wind blew down the fence<br />
around his yearling bulls and as he<br />
woke up the bulls were coming by his<br />
bedroom window on their way to check<br />
out the ranch. He was nearly late<br />
getting to the Holden sale, as he had to<br />
get bulls separated from other cattle,<br />
fix the fence, then feed the cattle, but<br />
he made it. Dale said, “This has been a<br />
tough morning!”<br />
Jim Williams of the AHA did a very<br />
nice gesture at the Cooper sale when<br />
during his pre-sale talk, he gave the<br />
senior member of the firm an industry<br />
thank you for all he had done for the<br />
program and for the industry. The sale<br />
crowd gave Jack a standing ovation and<br />
thank you, and the 90+ patriarch was<br />
obviously touched. Good job on that<br />
one Jim!<br />
I want to thank Dr. Dan Moser of<br />
Kansas State University for correcting<br />
a statement in my last article that was<br />
in error. Dr. Dan says that the figures<br />
that were published in the National<br />
Pedigree Livestock Council, for<br />
Charolais, is really the total number of<br />
females on inventory, and not the actual<br />
numbered registered. He believes the<br />
total amount registered is more in the<br />

correcting me, and it sure makes me<br />
feel better knowing we are at least<br />
second. I apologize to you readers for<br />
my mistake, we hate to make them but<br />
I sure did, as Dan pointed out.<br />
I noted in a recent press release that<br />
John Andras of Big Timber, MT has<br />
gone to work for a Texas cattle<br />
publication. John is an outstanding<br />
young man, who was active in the<br />
Junior <strong>America</strong>n <strong>Hereford</strong> Assn. group<br />
and just recently finished his college<br />
education. John is the son of Deb and<br />
J.C. Andras, both long-time <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
folks from Big Timber. Deb is now<br />
Editor of the Western Livestock<br />
Reporter. I wish John well and I just<br />
wait for the time when we can add him<br />
and more of our well trained Juniors<br />
to our staff at the AHA. Too many of<br />
our outstanding Juniors through the<br />
years have gone on to other jobs, not<br />
in the <strong>Hereford</strong> industry. Sure we get<br />
some but not enough to make me feel<br />
good.<br />
While attending the “big” Montana<br />
sales last week I had the opportunity<br />
to visit with Bill Cox of Pomeroy, WA,<br />
who is the newly elected President of<br />
the Certified <strong>Hereford</strong> Beef program.<br />
We had a very nice discussion about<br />
the program and the effects that CHB<br />
has on our whole breed and breeders.<br />
Bill assured me that very positive<br />
things are on the horizon. We are all<br />
waiting anxiously for this to occur and<br />
we wish you well Bill, in this endeavor.<br />
It was 70 degrees in Montana March<br />
17th and it appears that spring is around<br />
the corner. It has been an unusual<br />
winter here. We have had cold, then<br />
snow, then wind, then melt, then the<br />
same thing over, but nothing severe like<br />
other parts of the country.<br />
So long for now. — BB

Look for our consignments next year!<br />
Harrell <strong>Hereford</strong> Ranch is one of the<br />
West’s most respected seedstock<br />
leaders. Driven by the economics of the<br />
commercial beef industry, their<br />
reputation has been built upon a wellrecognized<br />
cowherd, trait-balanced<br />
cattle, and proven high accuracy<br />
genetics. Headlining High Desert,<br />
Mountain country bred cattle, the<br />
Harrell purebred program is backed by<br />
their Oregon Country beef commercial<br />
cowherd that has proven the genetics<br />
from cowherd to carcass.<br />
Bob Harrell, Jr. and the Harrell<br />
family represented their 28th Annual<br />
Production Sale at the ranch<br />
headquarters in Baker City, Oregon.<br />
The event was part of a big ranchercattlemen’s<br />
weekend that included the<br />
Harrell MacKenzie Quarter Horse sale,<br />
Thomas Angus Ranch bull sale and<br />
special “<strong>Cattlemen</strong>’s Gathering” that<br />
announced the Beef Northwest Harrell-<br />
Thomas “Northwest Premium Genetic<br />
Partnership,” a new value added<br />
marketing program for the principle’s<br />
customers.<br />
The Harrell 2007 offering was<br />
comprised of a volume selection of<br />
powerful bulls, first class registered<br />
and commercial replacement heifers<br />
and the outstanding Harrell-<br />
MacKenzie Quarter Horses. A capacity,<br />
seven-state crowd of ranchers, breeders<br />
and horsemen competed to invest in the<br />
quality, performance, and proven<br />
genetics that have become a trademark<br />
of these programs. A very successful<br />
sale stands as a statement for the<br />
reputation of the Harrell and<br />
MacKenzie familes and the good cattle<br />
and horses they breed.<br />

Book Review by Byron and Pauline Bayers<br />
Every one should read<br />
THE UNCERTAINTIES OF LIFE<br />
By Arnold Hokanson<br />
The book, “The Uncertainties of<br />
Life”, is written strictly as a work of<br />
fiction. (Hokanson was raised in the<br />
Bear Paw Mountains of Montana and<br />
those mountains are the setting for this<br />
story) But an incident did occur during<br />
World War II, where a German spy,<br />
with his inseparable briefcase, did<br />
manipulate his way onto a cattle train,<br />
at Havre, MT. The spy proceeded to<br />
ride the train, with the ranchers, as far<br />
as Fargo, ND.<br />
During the era of World War II,<br />
ranchers still ran what was commonly<br />
known as “big steers”. Yearlings, two<br />
year olds, and in some cases three year<br />
old steers even, were run on various<br />
ranches throughout Montana.<br />
Upon arrival of autumn, ranchers<br />
would trail their “shippin bunches” to<br />
the railroad, and ship them to the<br />
eastern markets of St. Paul, Chicago,<br />
or Sioux City, Iowa.<br />
Most ranchers sold their cattle once<br />
per year, and consequently, the<br />
shipping herds included dry cows,<br />
heifers not kept for replacement, and<br />
usually a bull or two.<br />
Trains that were referred to as cattle<br />
or stock trains, usually contained a<br />
number of other cars, bearing different<br />
kinds of freight. When the number of<br />
cattle cars, and men accompanying<br />
their cattle was sufficient, an old,<br />
specially equipped coach in which part<br />
of the seats had usually been removed,<br />
would be provided for the comfort of<br />
those traveling with their cattle. Such<br />
was the case of the train upon which<br />
the German spy traveled.<br />
The author, in later years, came to<br />
know quite well two of the men who<br />
rode the train with the spy. They told<br />
how in the beginning, the ranchers<br />
were ignorant of the fact that the man<br />
sold to Lord Ranches of Boise, ID for<br />
$3,000.<br />
Angus Bulls:<br />
Lot 234, Shaw New Day 6687, a<br />
02/14/06 son of Boyd New Day 8005<br />
sold to TFI Limited of Boise, ID for<br />
$7,000.<br />
Lot 243, Shaw 9074 Bando 6602, a<br />
01/10/06 son of LT 598 Bando 9074<br />
sold to TFI Limited of Boise,ID for<br />
$6,000.<br />
Lot 204, Shaw 9074 Bando 5211, a<br />
08/25/05 son of LT 598 Bando 9074<br />
sold to Jenkins Ranch of OR for<br />
$3,500.<br />
Red Angus Yearling Bulls:<br />
Four bulls, Lots 301, 302, 303 &<br />
305 each sold for $2,750.<br />
who traveled with them was an enemy<br />
spy. (By golly this is not all fiction!)<br />
The book tells of the intrigue that<br />
follows as the ranchers learned who<br />
this strange man among them really<br />
was and then how they dealt with him.<br />
While the hero is patterned after no<br />
one in particular, he is a combination<br />
of many men we have known through<br />
the years. Some rough and rugged but<br />
very dedicated. Combine those<br />
qualities with those of the more<br />
serious, and kind natured, and those<br />
who are dedicated to commitment and<br />
seeing things through, and show a<br />
concern for the world around them.<br />
This is the character the author<br />
attempted to create.<br />
Also emphasized is the effects of<br />
war and the hardships placed upon a<br />
society by war, and the changes in<br />
lifestyle involved and their after<br />
effects. Even, how those who question<br />
the intelligence of war, at times, are<br />
committed to do battle on their own to<br />
uphold their convictions.<br />
This is a story of life, the good times,<br />
and the bad. It shows how people<br />
commit themselves to helping one<br />
another when necessary, and of the<br />
integrity of an undying friendship. A<br />
story based upon an incident that could<br />
happen to anyone, and should bring to<br />
mind the question, How would I react<br />
to such a circumstance?<br />
(A very good and interesting book<br />
that is very readable and once you start<br />
into it, it is very hard to put down. It<br />
clearly depicts western family life of<br />
that era. The book describes life as it<br />
really is! Pauline Bayers)<br />

UW ag student named to<br />
All-USA academic third team<br />
By Robert Waggener<br />
University of Wyoming<br />
University of<br />
Wyoming agriculture<br />
student Stacia Berry<br />
today was named to USA<br />
Today’s 2007 All-USA<br />
College Academic Third<br />
Team.<br />
Berry was among 60<br />
students from four-year<br />
colleges nationwide<br />
making the top three<br />
teams, which consist of<br />
20 students each. There<br />
were nearly 600<br />
nominees. Coverage is<br />
in this morning’s edition<br />
of USA Today. Go to<br />
www.usatoday.com, and<br />
scroll to All-USA<br />
College All-Stars on the right side of<br />
the page.<br />
“Being named to the Third Team is<br />
a stellar accomplishment,” said Tracey<br />
Wong Briggs, All-USA Academic Team<br />
coordinator.<br />
“The program was founded 18 years<br />
ago to honor outstanding students.<br />
These are students who excel in a<br />
variety of ways academically and who<br />
extend their knowledge beyond the<br />
classroom,” she said.<br />
Aura Newlin, a 2002 UW music<br />
graduate from Riverton, made the First<br />
Team in 2003, and another UW<br />
graduate from Riverton, Kara Calvert<br />
(business administration), made the<br />
Second Team in 2001.<br />
Berry, a junior from Cheyenne, is<br />
majoring in animal and veterinary<br />
sciences in the College of Agriculture,<br />
with options in agricultural<br />
communications and business. She was<br />
nominated for the national honor by her<br />
adviser, Professor Doug Hixon, head<br />
of the Department of Animal Science.<br />
“Stacia is an outstanding student and<br />
an extremely accomplished young<br />
lady,” Hixon wrote in his two-page<br />
letter to USA Today. “She has provided<br />
leadership at every level of<br />
participation in which she has been<br />
involved. The amazing thing is that she<br />
continues to excel academically with<br />
all of the many time commitments<br />
outside of the classroom.”<br />
Berry has a near-perfect grade-point<br />
average through 79 credit hours.<br />
“I received a B in political science<br />
my first semester at UW,” Berry said<br />
and smiled. “I think of that B<br />
sometimes, but I try to think of it in a<br />
positive light.”<br />
Asked to explain that, Berry<br />
Stacia Berry pictured in front of the University of Wyoming’s<br />
Animal Science Building.<br />
responded, “There is some value to<br />
imperfection; I believe it offers the real<br />
side of a student. Being able to balance<br />
academics with extracurricular<br />
activities sometimes will earn you a B<br />
or lower in a class.”<br />
Accomplishments in the classroom<br />
– and beyond – are the key components<br />
to the All-USA College Academic<br />
Team judging, Wong Briggs said.<br />
“Students must write essays on their<br />
most outstanding intellectual<br />
endeavors and also how they use their<br />
talents beyond the classroom,” she<br />
noted.<br />
Berry’s essay focused on her year<br />
spent as national FFA secretary in<br />
2004. She and the other national<br />
officers withdrew from college that<br />
year to help educate middle and high<br />
school students around the country<br />
about personal growth, leadership and<br />
career success.<br />
Berry estimates she presented more<br />
than 100 workshops and delivered 90<br />
motivational speeches across the<br />
United States that year. She helped<br />
organize a national FFA convention,<br />
wrote a curriculum for FFA leadership<br />
workshops and helped train 150 state<br />
FFA officers in leadership,<br />
communication, recruitment and<br />
agricultural issues.<br />
“There was one common<br />
denominator no matter where I went –<br />
the value of agriculture and what it<br />
does for absolutely everyone,” Berry<br />
said.<br />
“We were allowed two to three days<br />
each month at home; the rest of the time<br />
we were on the road,” Berry said. “It<br />
demanded a huge level of<br />
responsibility and personal<br />

A <strong>Hereford</strong> Celebration<br />
2007 Junior National <strong>Hereford</strong> Expo<br />
What is the <strong>Hereford</strong> Celebration<br />
of 2007?<br />
The <strong>Hereford</strong> Celebration ‘07 is the national<br />
show of the National Junior <strong>Hereford</strong> Association.<br />
The “Western <strong>Hereford</strong> Breeders” have<br />
been slected to host this great event during<br />
the week of July 7-14, 2007 at the National<br />
Western Complex in Denver, CO. During this<br />
week, hundreds of <strong>Hereford</strong> youth and their<br />
families will converge on the city of Denver to<br />
exhibit not only 1,200 head of cattle, but also<br />
to compete in numerous leadership and personal<br />
development events. More than 3,000<br />
spectators will be in attendance throughout the<br />
week making this event one of the largest of<br />
its kind in the United States.<br />
The “Western States Junior and Senior<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Breeders” are working together to<br />
ensure a successful event for all in attendance.<br />
However, your financial support is needed to<br />
make this event a highlight for the families who<br />
will be traveling to Denver to take part in this<br />
event. There are several ways you can support<br />
this event and make an impact on the lives<br />
of many young agriculturally-minded youth.<br />
With your assistance and the effort of many<br />
volunteers, this event will be an unforgettable<br />

Feed Efficiency, Meat Quality, Docile Temperament, All In a Whiteface Package<br />
(continued from page 1)<br />
$4.00 corn and $100 grass hay. It<br />
proves that efficiency goes hand in<br />
hand with <strong>Hereford</strong>s, so lets take it to<br />
the industry now. The facts are in.<br />
In meat quality these cattle have also<br />
shown to do quite well. Ribeye area<br />
has steadily improved along with the<br />
marbling scores. Yield grades have<br />
consistently been exactly what the<br />
industry wants with an overall average<br />
of 3.15. This shows that the genetic<br />
trends in the <strong>Hereford</strong> breed are right<br />
on target with industry needs. In recent<br />
studies conducted by independent<br />
entities, preliminary results that were<br />
reported on at Kansas State<br />
University’s <strong>Cattlemen</strong>’s day showed<br />
Pairs at Rausch <strong>Hereford</strong>s, Hoven, SD.<br />
Starting with the 2000 fall test, coventional IMF scores are used<br />
Pre-2000, standard packing marbling scores are used<br />
Marbling 200-249 slight<br />
Score 250-299 slight<br />
300-399 small<br />
400-499 modest<br />
500-599 moderate<br />
600-699 slightly abundant<br />
that <strong>Hereford</strong> cattle have more DNA<br />
markers for tenderness than any other<br />
breed. These preliminary studies also<br />
show that <strong>Hereford</strong> beef eats as good<br />
and is as tender and juicy at the Select<br />
grade as other breeds are at Choice.<br />
These studies seem to show what the<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> breed learned in the Colorado<br />
State trials that were run in the early<br />
90’s that started Certified <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
Beef. We already knew that <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
beef is as good as any of them, even at<br />
the Select grade! Less fat with just as<br />
good of an eating quality should be<br />
touted as a healthier product for the<br />
consuming public.<br />
Recently, Iowa State University<br />
released the results of a study on<br />
temperament and how it affects the<br />
final product of the beef industry and<br />
how this relates to profit. Their results<br />
showed that more docile cattle are<br />
worth as much as $62 per head more<br />
when compared to less docile cattle.<br />
That is significant. They also showed<br />
pictures of <strong>Hereford</strong> cattle when<br />
publishing the results of the study. It<br />
is certainly well known that <strong>Hereford</strong>s<br />
are the most docile and easy to handle<br />
cattle in the industry.<br />
Furthermore, the U.S. Meat Animal<br />
Research Centers recent Germplasm<br />
Evaluation Progress Report No. 22<br />
adds even more proof to the <strong>Hereford</strong>’s<br />
claim as the leader in feed efficiency.<br />
Six harvest points were evaluated for<br />
performance per unit of feed energy<br />
consumed comparing <strong>Hereford</strong>, Angus,<br />
Red Angus, Gelbvieh, Limousin,<br />
Charolais and Simmental genetics<br />
against each other. In 4 of the 6 harvest<br />
points (fed for 187 days as calf feds,<br />
fed for 550 lbs. gain, fed to a backfat<br />
endpoint of .43 inches, and a fed to a<br />
fat trim endpoint of 24.8%) <strong>Hereford</strong>s<br />
were the most feed efficient for all the<br />
breeds tested. When fed to a marbling<br />
endpoint of Small 35, <strong>Hereford</strong>s came<br />
in third behind Angus and Red Angus<br />
and were substantially more efficient<br />
than the Continentals. Finally, when<br />
fed to a retail product endpoint of 456<br />
lbs. of red meat yield, <strong>Hereford</strong>s came<br />
in 4 th , but easily outperformed Angus<br />
and Red Angus genetics as well as<br />
outpacing the Gelbviehs.<br />
The data revealed in this article,<br />
collected over time, should be the<br />
selling point in today’s modern beef<br />
industry as to why <strong>Hereford</strong> genetics<br />
is the smart way to go when making<br />
selections to improve the beef cattle of<br />
today. These trends enhance the<br />
position of <strong>Hereford</strong>s and add to the<br />
time honored and many times proven<br />
range efficiency and fertility of the<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> sired female that we all know<br />
about and has been proven time and<br />
time again. No longer do we have to<br />
take a back seat to the black hided<br />
cowherd of today. Instead, we need to<br />
promote the fact that we have<br />
something to offer that will improve<br />
what they have done.<br />
These studies and trials are being<br />
backed up every day by studies being<br />
conducted in the U.S. and around the<br />
world, but here are results that can be<br />
used now to show the industry what<br />
we have and how it can benefit the beef<br />
industry both now and in the<br />
foreseeable future, before it is too late.<br />

Jill’s Editorial...<br />
(continued from page 1)<br />
some terrific letters, comments and<br />
conversations with a number of you.<br />
Market conditions, amplified by<br />
drought conditions in a large portion<br />
of the U.S., have many of you<br />
reflecting on your business and taking<br />
the bull by the horns. I’m glad to see<br />
this happening at last. There are some<br />
interesting developments by breeders<br />
to help them retain and secure what<br />
often seems like a rapidly dwindling<br />
market share.<br />
It is exciting to see new, innovative<br />
ideas being implemented by breeders<br />
across the country. It all seems to come<br />
back to marketing alternatives. Anyone<br />
who is in business selling a product or<br />
service occasionally has to “readjust<br />
the gunsites” and assess what their<br />
customer wants in order to continue to<br />
sell their product. How many times do<br />
you hear “new and improved” in<br />
advertisements? Fast food places are a<br />
good example. There isn’t a year that<br />
goes by for the fast food giants that they<br />
don’t have some new or improved<br />
product.<br />
While I was in Oregon for Harrell’s<br />
sale they announced a partnership<br />
program with Thomas Angus whereby<br />
they work with Oregon’s largest feedlot<br />
operator to offer formula pricing and<br />
premiums to both the Thomas and<br />
Harrell customers. Wow, what a great<br />
marketing alternative for their<br />
customers. I’m sure it is also a fantastic<br />
opportunity for Beef Northwest<br />
Feeders with whom they’ve made this<br />
arrangement. It will be interesting to<br />
see what this does for both of their<br />
production sales.<br />
I realize there are a number of other<br />
breeders out there with similar<br />
programs and I applaud you for making<br />
the effort and taking the initiative to<br />
do these sorts of things. In most cases,<br />
it’s a real win-win situation for all<br />
involved.<br />
Be sure you read the articles on our<br />
front page this month. Finally, solid<br />
data on the efficiency and beef quality<br />
of <strong>Hereford</strong> cattle is being promoted.<br />
Many thanks to Tom Granzow and Tom<br />
Krauss, <strong>Hereford</strong> breeders from<br />
Kansas who also are the manager and<br />
chairman, respectively, of the National<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Feedout, who took the time<br />
to compile the information and write<br />
this article. It’s been a long time coming<br />
but the time is here. Anyone is welcome<br />
to reprint the article as long as you give<br />
the appropriate recognition. Just send<br />
me an e-mail and I will forward the<br />
information to you. This sort of<br />
information really needs to get into the<br />
mainstream ag press and we are all<br />
hopeful it will. As <strong>Hereford</strong> breeders,<br />
use this information to help promote.<br />
Last, I hope you will pay attention<br />
to Keith Carmichael’s ad on the<br />
meeting he is having at his ranch<br />
located north of Faith, SD, on May 3rd.<br />
This get-together is all about marketing<br />
alternatives for <strong>Hereford</strong> and <strong>Hereford</strong>cross<br />
cattle. Keith is hoping to gather<br />
a wide variety of people from all<br />
segments of the industry for a panel<br />
discussion and open forum of questions<br />
and ideas. The plan is to line up<br />
feeders, commercial cattlemen,<br />
registered breeders, AHA and CHB<br />
staff and board members, beef industry<br />
and others to be there on the panel and<br />
in the crowd. Sounds like there will be<br />
some terrific discussions and<br />
exchanges of ideas. Be there!<br />
We hope to see you all somewhere<br />
this summer. Thanks for a great year.<br />
— Jill<br />

the hiring of an additional account manager in November 2006 and a food<br />
service director in January 2007. Currently, Cox is working with other board<br />
and staff members to identify the best individual to lead CHB LLC in the<br />
absence of Rob Ames, 10-year executive vice president, who resigned this<br />
winter.<br />
In conversations with CHB retail and food service customers, Cox has<br />
been informed that CHB is appreciated by customers because of its<br />
consistency — a quality eating experience time after time. Cox says, “What<br />
CHB brings to the supermarket and restaurant is the same thing we (<strong>Hereford</strong><br />
breeders) bring to commercial cattlemen — a consistent, efficient, easy-tohandle<br />
product.”<br />
Cox and his wife, Terrilie, own and operate CX Ranch near Pomeroy.<br />
They raise registered <strong>Hereford</strong>s and some commercial cattle, and also grow<br />
wheat and barley.<br />
Cox is a director and past president of the Oregon, Washington, Northern<br />
Idaho <strong>Hereford</strong> Association. He also served as president of the Lewiston<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Association for four years. In addition, he is a member of the<br />
Washington <strong>Cattlemen</strong>’s Association and the Garfield and Columbia County<br />
<strong>Cattlemen</strong>’s associations, as well as a charter member of the Pomeroy FFA<br />
Alumni Association and a member and past warden of St. Peter’s Episcopal<br />
Church.<br />
The Coxs have three grown children — Andria, Josh and Piper — who<br />
were raised on the farm and active in 4-H, FFA and junior <strong>Hereford</strong> activities.<br />
CHB LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the AHA. Its threefold mission<br />
is: to provide consumers with consistently tender, juicy and flavorful beef<br />
products; to enhance the marketing opportunities of food industry distributors,<br />
retailers and restauranteurs; and to increase the demand for commercial<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>-influenced cattle.
