are those terrible 

words that I hate 

to have appear 

but we realize that 

is our way of life, 

we are born and 

we die. In the last 

Byron Bayers 

issue we noted 

the passing of James Steen of 

Marfa, TX. This was especially 

difficult for me because James 

worked for us one summer when 

he was a college student. I had 

known James’ Dad, Jim Bob Steen 

and his Mother, Katheryn 

(Queenie), since the day that Jim 

Bob was a Denver judge. The 

Steens asked me if James could

the next time one

You won’t regret 

it. Attending two 

Hereford tours in 

Marc Hotchkiss 

two weeks 

brought to mind several thoughts 

about our breed. Many breeders 

have worked hard at improving our 

breed, adapting animals to their 

environment and needs. These 

breeders have done it quietly, 

purposefully and with no need of 

publicity, just the satisfaction and a 

sense of accomplishment as their 

only reward. It is impossible to put 

a value on the contributions of these

KANSAS — Ochsner Herefords, St. Francis, KS 

Nebraska Hereford Tour Goes to Central Part of State 

by Val Simonson, NHA Sec. 

The Nebraska Hereford Association 

held it’s annual Hereford tour on 

September 10 & 11, 2005 in central 

Nebraska. Eighteen polled and horned 

Hereford breeders showcased their 

cattle in the annual tour, along with tour 

stops at Heartland Heifer Development, 

Nebraska Bull Service and North Platte 

Feeders. The tour showcased Hereford 

cattle but also provided guests with a 

chance to view some new country and 

learn about the history of the herds and 

the area. 

NEBRASKA — Helms Polled Herefords’ display. The second day started out 

beautiful and with a great display. 

The tour began in 

Lexington, 

Nebraska with 

loading of the bus 

and travel to Zero 

Hereford Ranch at 

Miller. There Dave 

and Linda Smedra 

and their family 

provided breakfast, 

visiting and a 

chance to look at 

the Zero Hereford 

herd bulls and 

females. Zero 

Herefords had it’s 

beginning in 1920 

in Graham County 

Kansas and has 

since evolved into 

the current 

operation. 

Following that 

stop, everyone 

proceeded to Holm

September 2 nd and 3 rd 

by Marc Hotchkiss 

I departed Bison airport at 5:35 

Thursday evening for Goodland, KS to 

take in the 2005 Kansas Hereford 

Association annual tour. Three hours 

later I landed after a non-eventful flight 

(the best kind), called up Finley Motors 

and picked up my rental car. Heading 

for the motel, I calculated I needed to

Dear Marc, 

Your statement in Hereford America 

about needing more Hereford bulls with 

carcass data is right on the money. Because 

of our commitment to lower birth 

weights, moderate framed cattle and 

feedlot and carcass data, we have sold 

out of yearling bulls this spring. We have 

sold bulls into Kansas, Nebraska, South 

Dakota and Utah. One new customer 

who purchased eight bulls contacted us 

through our card ad in Hereford 

America. I would recommend using 

your paper to anyone wanting a good 

value for their advertising dollar.

delegates to the AHA convention. I was an alternate last year for Oklahoma but 

was not even informed until two days prior to the meeting when called and notified 

that I was to be a delegate because another delegate could not attend. This is 

ridiculous in an age of communication!! 

The Association has some other major problems as well. One that I hear about 

constantly is the $100.00 activation fee which has basically eliminated most small 

registered operations. Naturally that also in turn eliminates a lot of potential buyers 

at sales of bigger operations. From where does such logic (?) come? 

Further, while I believe in youth programs and the leadership skills developed, 

probably 95% of them will never own cattle as adults unless they inherit the 

family farm or need a tax write-off from another occupation. While the Association 

seems to be concerned about emphasis on the commercial operators, registered 

sales with five bulls and 100 females tell you otherwise. 

While this Association does many good things, many breeders in this area of the 

country are bothered by its lack of concern for them, integrity, and judgment and 

feel helpless to correct it. Several Association policies and attitudes if used in a

Dear Hereford America: 

Since my husband is on the Board of Directors of the 

Kansas Polled Hereford Association, he is frequently 

asked when our association is going to join with the 

Kansas Hereford Association and work together as one 

unit. If you looked at the ad from the Oleen Brothers on 

page 19 of the March 2005 issue of Hereford America, 

maybe you can understand why this may never happen. 

I find it extremely offensive that the Oleens would attack 

the polled breeders and suggest someone would be giving 

up fertility, performance, milk and muscle by breeding 

their cows to a polled bull. 

The American Hereford Association, by conducting 

extensive research, has published a report of the Top 

200 Active Sire List. The list comprises several different 

profit indexes, one of them being the Top 200 Baldy 

Maternal Profit Index. This index is a maternally focused 

index that has a production system based off of 1000 

Hereford x Angus females with a progeny harvest 

endpoint directed towards CHB. Furthermore, for bulls 

to qualify for any of these lists, they must also be in the 

top 50 th percentile or better for Birth Weight, Weaning 

Weight, Yearling Weight and Milk for the entire breed. 

There are actually a total of 210 sires included in the 

Top 200 Baldy Maternal Profit Index and 106 of these 

sires are polled. The fact is that out of the top 38 

bulls, 30 are polled. The next report is the Top 200 

Calving EZ Profit Index. This is a general purpose index 

that focuses on identifying bulls that can be used on 

heifers and then ultimately the calves will be marketed 

through CHB. This list includes 203 sires with 105 of 

them being polled. In this group, 22 out of the top 28 

bulls are polled. The next report is the Top 200 Braham 

Influence Profit Index. This report is similar to the Top 

200 Baldy Maternal Profit Index only they used Braham 

Influence females instead of Angus females.This list 

includes 202 sires with 98 of them being polled. In this 

group, 27 out of the top 44 bulls are polled. The final 

report is the Top 200 Certified Hereford Beef Profit 

Index.This is a terminal sire index that is built on a 

production system where Hereford bulls sire calves for 

the CHB market. The report included 213 sires of which

99 are polled. The final group 

indicated 21 out of the top 30 

bulls are polled. 

Do the results of this report make 

it sound as if you are going to be 

sacrificing fertility, performance, 

milk or muscle by breeding to a 

polled bull? I would never, under 

any circumstances, try to 

convenience someone to not use 

horned Hereford bulls in their 

breeding program, and make 

ludicrous accusations that their 

program will suffer if they do. 

The right thing to do is for all 

cattlemen and cattlewomen to work 

together for the betterment of the 

breed, whether they prefer polled 

or horned cattle.

Minnesota Hereford Breeder 

Gets Back What He Has Given 

By B. Lynn Gordon 

Sit on a bale of straw and visit 

with Mark Frederickson at just 

one of the many events he 

attends, like the Minnesota State Fair, 

and you will soon learn he is one of the 

true leaders in the industry. His 

Father-son team, Nate and Mark Frederickson 

recently judged the South Dakota Hereford Futurities 

and Steer Special respectively. Nate now lives near 

Spearfish, SD, has a small herd there and works for 

Novartis. 

knowledge outside of his own cattle 

operation, Frederickson Hereford Farm, 

Starbuck, Minn., comes from many 

years of participation and giving of his 

time and leadership to numerous 

organizations. 

“My parents taught me that you need 

to give back more than you take,” says 

Frederickson. Dad always said don’t be 

the one sitting on the side complaining, 

get active, learn and participate in how 

the agricultural industry runs. 

So Frederickson did just that. Active 

in Minnesota Hereford Association, past 

board member of the American Polled 

Hereford Association, member of state 

and local cattlemen’s associations not 

to mention volunteering for numerous 

committees and task forces— he has 

gained far more by taking an active part 

than he could have ever attained on his 

own. 

In March 2005, Frederickson was 

inducted into the Minnesota Livestock 

Breeders Hall of Fame (see April/May 

Hereford America). The Minnesota 

Livestock Breeders Association (MLBA) 

was initiated to promote all facets of 

livestock in the state of Minnesota, 

including sheep, swine, dairy, beef and 

horses. The organization acted as the 

promotional sector/lobbyist, at the time, 

for all these livestock sectors. However, 

in time many of the livestock species 

began to develop their own state 

organizations and the MLBA continued 

in the role of merging all the livestock 

sectors together, to promote the 

livestock industry as a whole. One of 

their major activities is the 

4-H Livestock Auction held 

during the Minnesota State 

Fair. MLBA has inducted 

139 members since the Hall 

of Fame began in 1934. 

Mark and Mary Kay 

Frederickson and their two 

children, Nate and Sarah, 

moved to their current farm 

in 1974. Their herd of 125 

Hereford cows consists of 

numerous Benchmark Dams 

and trait leading herd sires 

in addition to a herd of 25 

registered Angus. Mark’s 

family started in the 

Hereford business in the 

1950s. 

“I was very humbled to 

receive the award, especially 

when I think of the 

academia, extension and 

research specialists who have been 

previously inducted in the Hall of Fame, 

along with fellow livestock breeders,” 

he says. Some of the previous inductees 

who Frederickson has admired and 

worked alongside of 

include: the late 

Leonard Wulf, 

Morris; Jerry 

Hawton, University of 

Minnesota; Bob 

Schafer, Mahnomen; 

Lester Schafer, 

Buffalo Lake and 

Morris Grogan, 

Marine on St. Croix. 

And uniquely, in 2005, 

Frederickson was inducted alongside his 

University of Minnesota college judging 

coach/mentor, Chuck Christians. 

Kent Thiesse, Lake Crystal, Minn., has 

known Frederickson since their 4-H 

days, in the 1960s. Thiesse and a team 

of cattle breeders initiated the award 

nomination. “We nominated Mark 

because he more than meets the criteria 

to be awarded with the highest honor in 

the Minnesota livestock industry,” says 

Thiesse. Thiesse gathered quotes about 

Frederickson from fellow livestock 

breeders to include in the application. 

One of the quotes reads, “People tend 

to gravitate towards a true leader. They 

want to associate with them. Mark 

Frederickson is a true leader and people 

look to him for direction.” 

Participating in organizations and 

offering leadership has become a never 

ending educational system for this cattle 

producer. “You are always a smarter 

person when you come away from the 

organization than when you started,” 

says Frederickson. 

“I’m not necessarily a 

person that enjoys 

leadership roles, but I 

strongly believe that 

everyone needs to get 

involved,” he says. “When 

everybody does a little, 

no one person has to do 

too much.” 

He knows the time commitment that 

it takes to be on the road, attending 

meetings and participating in livestock 

and agricultural organizations. However, 

he also knows that if you stay home 

too long, you tend to get too comfortable 

in your own setting and become less 

aware of the different views in the 

industry. 

Frederickson had many mentors over 

the years, and was good at seeking out 

mentors to help 

teach him the 

ropes. Mentors 

such as his 

father, Don, and 

fellow Hereford 

breeder Gerhard 

Mitteness built a 

solid foundation 

for him to be 

more than just a 

cattle breeder — 

but a cattle professional. 

“I’m not necessarily a person that 

enjoys leadership roles, but I strongly 

believe that everyone needs to get 

involved,” he says. “When everybody 

does a little, no one person has to do 

too much.” 

As a leader in the industry, 

Frederickson is aware of the challenges 

along with the many opportunities that 

are available. He cites pollution control 

laws, constant industry and market 

changes and safety of food supply as 

“ People tend to gravitate 

towards a true leader. 

They want to associate 

with them. Mark 

Frederickson is a true 

leader and people look to 

him for direction.”

Kansas Hereford Association Tour... goers and thanked them for 


participating. Perry Nowak, 

manager of Royal Beef Feed 

Yard, and a part of Irsik & 

Doll, gave the group a quick 

update on GOP and the 

impressive statistics that 

have been recorded in their 

yard on Herefords. 

The annual Kansas 

Hereford Assoc. Ranch 

Rodeo took place after 

supper. Being that I had 

flown into Goodland, I had Grandson of Therean Towns, Frances with a newborn 

to skip the rodeo and get calf. 

ready for the next day’s tour. 

(CDT). The only thing I didn’t calculate 

was the 2 stops on Highway 24 due to 

construction. Oh, well. I made C&M 

Hereford Farms, Stockton, KS by 9:00. 

C&M Hereford Farms of Stockton, 

KS is owned by the Alton & Beth Hazen 

family. Alton’s father, Clarence started 

raising high quality Herefords over 50 

years ago. Hazen’s also have a blackbaldy 

replacement female program. 

Sutor Hereford Farms of Zurich, KS 

was the next stop on our tour. Darrell 

and Joy Sutor welcomed the crowd and 

explained their program. Their 

granddaughter Dana Pieper, with her 

husband David and children Cody and 

Katie are also part of the operation. They 

have recently introduced a polled bull,

challenges today. But he 

also, sees opportunities in 

producing new and 

consumer friendly 

products to expand 

demand. 

Those who know 

Frederickson also know 

that his personal nature has 

made him a favorite among 

the youth in the state. He 

has always been an 

SHF Napolean L75 from Sandhill 

Farms, into their herd. 

Towns Herefords, Therean & Mary 

Towns, is located 3-1/4 miles south of 

Palco. Therean purchased his first 

Hereford from Sutors in 1948 as a 4H 

project and subsequent herd sires from 

many fellow breeders in Kansas. The 

cow herd is currently Line One with 

Quantock influence. 

Towns’ daughter Santana and her 

family is following in their footsteps 

raising Herefords. 

Lunch the first day was at Palco, KS 

in the community center. Meals served 

during this tour were fantastic! Tom 

Granzow, KS secretary-manager, 

mentioned that tour hosts were in charge 

of the meals and had done a great job. 

After lunch we traveled to 

Jamison Herefords of Quinter, 

KS. Gordon and his dad, Dale 

welcomed visitors to their 

ranch and display. Harmony 


Herefords, Delbert Swihart 

and family, also had a cattle 

display at Jamison’s. Delbert 

used to work for Jamisons 

several years ago but now runs 

his own operation. He uses 

Jamison bulls. 

Supper that evening was at

exceptionally strong advocate of the junior beef programs and 4-H and 

championed these causes for a number of years. His son, Nate and daughter 

Sarah were active in the Minnesota 4-H program and Minnesota Junior Polled 

Hereford Association. 

Nate is now an animal health specialist for Novartis. Nate and his wife Jayna 

reside near Spearfish, S.D. Sarah is currently doing an internship for Farmers 

Union in Washington, D.C., and is working on her master’s degree at the 

University of Minnesota in Policy and Administration. 

Mary Kay is also a champion of youth and is an elementary school teacher in 

Starbuck. Mary Kay’s roots stem from a commercial cattle family in DeGraff, 

Minn., area. 

Mark’s neighbor and fellow cattleman, Leonard Wulf, used to say “Think 

about your industry first; your breed second and yourself third and it will all 

work out. If you do this, there will be a place for your industry, your breed and 

yourself.” Mark keeps this statement in mind as he volunteers his time to the 

livestock industry and carries on his role as one of today’s top leaders. 

Saturday’s schedule began at 

Ochsner Herefords of St. Francis. 

Gilbert and Shirley welcomed the tour 

group. Gilbert explained their breeding 

program were mostly Canadian 

genetics. 

Mills Ranch of St. Francis was the 

next stop. Mark Mills mentioned that 

their ranch has participated in 76 

consecutive Denver Stock Shows over 

four generations and have sold the most 

cattle in one week while at the show, 

101 head in 1947. 

Next stop was Douthit Herefords, 

just a few miles down the road. Walter, 

Steve and Roger Douthit have put 

together a herd with a nice mixture of 

mainly Canadian and L1 genetics. 

Lunch for the second day was served, 

another fine meal. 

Some of C&M’s cow-calf pairs. 

Darell Sutor and his 

granddaughter Dana Pieper 

welcome the crowd and 

explain their breeding 

program. 

Last stop on this year’s Kansas 

Hereford tour was Priest Herefords. 

Barry and Sally Priest recently returned 

to farming life after 30 years being in 

retail sales. They have put together a 

very nice quality herd and have a right 

to be proud of the progress they have 

made in such a short time. 

I departed Goodland, Kansas for 

Huron, SD, wheels up, at 5:30 pm. Two 

hours and 5 minutes later I landed in 

Huron with 99° showing on the 

thermometer and the SD State Fair just 

starting. Setting there on the tarmac 

thinking about my time in Kansas, I 

decided I had thoroughly enjoyed my 

stay and really enjoyed seeing old friends 

and making new ones.

Genetic Outreach Program…. Still Relevant 

The Genetic Outreach Program will 

once again be offered to Hereford 

breeders nationwide by the Kansas 

Hereford Association. In today’s fast 

paced and quality driven beef industry, 

GOP continues to be very relevant. It 

gives breeders and commercial 

producers the opportunity to test various 

sire groups and compare the feedlot and 

carcass data amongst contemporaries 

from other herds in a blind test. The 

cattle are fed at the same time and at 

the same location in order to eliminate 

some of the variability. Many producers 

are opting to feed a few from each of 

their sire groups and cattle of varying 

quality in order to find what program 

fits their management scheme the best. 

Some significant changes have been 

implemented by the Kansas Hereford 

Association in the year since GOP came 

under their management. If a producer 

has twenty head or more, they can have 

a pen of their own and not have to 

commingle their cattle with other 

producers. This makes the feed 

efficiency data very relevant to these 

producers. Also for the producers with 

enough cattle to fill a pen, dates for 

Heading to Reno....

starting cattle can be modified to fit the 

producers feeding strategies. These 

cattle will also be compared to 

contemporaries if other producers can 

be found to start cattle at the same time. 

If other contemporaries can’t be 

arranged to start feeding at the same 

time, the producer will still receive full 

carcass and performance data on his 

cattle, but will not be compared to cattle 

fed at different times during the year. 

This change was made to offer GOP to 

producers nationwide who have varying 

management practices, but still want to 

find out what their cattle do in a feeding 

environment. 

Marketing strategies have also 

changed in the past year. Royal Beef in 

Scott City Kansas, where the test is held, 

is very innovative in offering the latest 

marketing options to their customers. 

This past year, the cattle that qualified 

for CHB received .50/cwt over the top 

price when they were marketed. 

Ultrasound technology was also used 

to better isolate the best carcass cattle, 

thus giving them the option to market 

on the open market or various grids that 

are available to many white faced cattle, 

ANNUAL 

BULL SALE: 

February 10, 2006 

and to market the steers 

in a timely fashion 

according to their 

individual body type. The 

cattle ended up going to 

who ever offered the 

most money at the time 

of slaughter. In the 

upcoming feeding period, 

Royal Beef will be 

offering significant 

premiums for cattle that 

can be source and age 

verified. This is just 

another way in which the GOP cattle 

are being marketed to make the most 

money possible and get that extra 

premium back to the producer. 

Data compiled by participants in the 

GOP is very quickly proving the 

competence of Hereford, Hereford cross 

and Hereford sired cattle in today’s beef 

industry. The cattle fed to date have 

gained at or above the Kansas yard 

averages and done so on less feed and a 

significant cost of gain advantage. The 

ADG has averaged 3.64 (3.27 – 4.02), 

Feed Conversion on a dry matter basis 

averaged 4.83 (3.8 – 5.6), and Cost of 

Gain, including all costs, not just feed 

averaged .42 (.37 - .48). During this 

time the Kansas average cost of gain 

was near .54, the ADG was 3.46, and 

the feed conversion on a dry matter basis 

was 6.4. These are the kind of numbers 

that have made the Hereford breed what 

it is, the most efficient. This data, taken 

from the real world, keep the Hereford 

breed relevant in today’s beef industry. 

The cost of feed is 60% of the cost of 

raising cattle. Hereford producers 

involved in GOP can take this data and 

feeding results home and make sound 

breeding decisions that will help them 

and their customers produce the type 

of fertile, efficient cattle that will work 

both now and in the future of the beef 

industry.

helped them breed better cattle for their 

customers. 

The Genetic Outreach Program will 

have December and February starting 

dates once again this coming winter and 

spring for anyone wanting to feed five 

or more head. Cost will be the same as 

in the past, $50 per consignor and $5 

per head. Ultrasound and carcass data 

will be charged at the feedlot since that 

is the most economical option. These 

minimal costs are more than offset by 

the knowledge gained and the 

comparative analysis provided to the 

producer. Other starting dates can be 

arranged for producers with varying 

calving dates and management 

practices. The KHA will work with any 

and all producers to help make the 

Genetic Outreach Program work for 

you.

Obituaries... 

Benjamin Franklin Nash 

Benjamin Franklin Nash, 87, died Aug. 1, 2005 

in Canon City, CO. 

He was born Jan. 13, 1918 to Walter Combs 

Nash and Elizabeth Means Savage Nash in 

Canon City. 

Mr. Nash graduated from Canon City High 

School in 1935. While in high school he was a 

member of ROTC and the Rifle Team. He attended 

the University of Colorado in Boulder for two 

years. While at CU he joined the Colorado National 

Guard. 

In December of 1941 he enlisted in the Army. 

In 1942 he was sent to Guadalcanal and helped 

set up the first radio control tower on Henderson 

Field. This duty earned him the Bronze Star. He 

was then transferred to the Allied Intelligence 

Service and became the first and only American 

Coast Watcher who worked in the bush. This 

service was done on the Soloman Islands and 

New Guinea where he spent up to 26 months 

behind enemy lines. He was awarded the Legion 

of Merit, two Presidential Citations, the King 

George Medal from Britain, a personal letter of 

commendation from General Millard Harmon and 

the South Pacific Combat Ribbon with two battle 

stars for his service in the Coast Watchers. He 

was discharged in December of 1945. 

In June of 1947 he married Clara Louise Giem 

of Canon City. Seven children were born to this 

union. Benjamin was a life-long rancher at Canon 

City where he raised registered Hereford cattle. 

He was a member of the American Hereford Association, 

Fremont County Cattlemen’s, BLM 

Board of Directors, Canon City School Board, 

Entertainment Incorporated Board, Colorado 

Cattlemen’s Association, Fremont County Geology 

Club, Colorado Hereford Association and 

a lifetime member of National Western Stock 

Show in Denver. 

Mr. Nash is survived by his children, Sally Para 

of San Carlos, CA, Jane Deewall, Coldwater, KS,

individuals and the animals they have 

“engineered.” The best reward we can give 

them is to look at their cattle, compliment 

them on their efforts and see if they would 

work in our program. 

A thankless job shared by many of our State 

Hereford Associations’ Secretary/Managers 

is that of Tour Guide. They spend a lot of 

time preparing for a tour, getting breeders lined 

up, routes figured, timing estimated, motels 

reserved, meals catered and other countless 

last-minute issues. I saw two of these people 

in action lately, veteran Tom Granzow of the 

Kansas Hereford Association and the new 

manager of the Nebraska Hereford 

Association, Val Simonson. These two did a 

great job and are to be commended on the 

job they did. They deserve it. Thanks people!

Warren G. Brown 

Warren G. Brown, a long time Polled Hereford breeder 

passed away Saturday, Aug. 13, 2005. He was 87. He died 

at the Hartford Health Care Center as a result of complications 

from pneumonia and heart congestion. 

Warren and his wife, Isabel, owned the 100-year-old 

W. W. Brown Nursery, which was started in 1901 in the 

Village of Hartland by Brown’s father, Walter William 

Brown. Brown was among the hundreds of thousands of 

American men and women - dubbed “The Greatest Generation” 

by author Tom Brokaw - who fought in and survived 

World War II and returned home to become business 

and community leaders. 

He was also a nationally renowned breeder of prizewinning 

Polled Hereford cattle and Shropshire sheep. 

He was president of the Wisconsin Polled Hereford 

Association, secretary of the Wisconsin Sheep Breeders, 

a member of the Wisconsin Livestock Breeders board 

and a member of the Waukesha County Farm Bureau. In 

addition, he served as a trustee on the village boards of 

both Hartland and Merton during his life. He also served 

a four-year term on the statewide advisory board that 

assisted in the development of regional community colleges 

such as Waukesha County Technical College. He 

was also an active 4-H leader and instructor. He was a 

past president of the Hartland Lions Club and former 

commander of the Flanagan Dorn American Legion Post 

always enjoyed visiting with him. Harker’s uses 

Certified Hereford Beef as their premier beef product. 

He related a story about a new customer who didn’t 

feel like the product they received was the same as 

what had been represented to them. The salesman 

asked the customer if they had tried the new shipment. 

“No, but it doesn’t have sufficient marbling.” The 

salesman went to the customer, they grilled a steak, 

ate it and had no more complaints. It goes to show 

that with Hereford meat the “proof is in the eating”. 

During one of the tours I had a couple people ask 

me if we were supporting Montie Soules for the AHA 

board. The first time I was asked it caught me offguard. 

To set the record straight Montie got his resume 

to us in time for the September issue. There are other 

resumes in this issue. 

I’m writing this as I’m traveling to the D-Bar 

dispersion in Texas. Dan Grahman has been a good 

supporter of our paper and we’d like to return the 

favor and wish him and Rosalie the best. 

This time I left the Mooney in the hangar and went 

as a passenger on United Airlines. It’s kind of nice to 

not be in the left seat all the time but believe me, I am 

in the left seat every chance I get! 

Till next time,

Six Vie for Three AHA Board Positions 

The American Hereford Association will 

be electing three new board members (Oct. 

24) to replace retiring directors Bruce Orvis, 

California; Wes Hudson, Arkansas, who 

served the remaining year of his father’s 

term; and John Loewen, Oklahoma. 

The AHA nominating committee announced 

the following slate of candidates: 

Paul “Butch” Funk, Texas 

Wes Hudson, Arkansas 

Bill King, New Mexico 

Bob Kube, Virginia 

Paul Slayton, Pennsylvania 

Montie Soules, Oklahoma 

Editor’s Note: Hereford America requested 

information from all of the candidates. 

Montie Soules sent his in unsolicited 

and it ran in last month’s issue in its 

entirety. The remainder will run in this issue. 

Hereford America is not endorsing 

any specific candidates. 

Paul E. “Butch” Funk, 

Copperas Cove, Texas, Lieutenant 

General (U.S. Army, Retired) and Sheila 

“Danny” Funk own and work the 

Spearhead Ranch, Copperas Cove, Texas. 

In addition to his ranch chores Paul works 

as Associate Director of the Education and 

Technology Applications Division at The 

University of Texas at Austin (UT), 

Institute for Advanced Technology, and 

is a member of the Army Science Board. 

Sale Headquarters: Sandhills Convention Center, North Platte, NE — (308) 532-9090 

LTG (R) Paul 

E. Funk, was 

born in 

Roundup, 

Montana and 

holds a 

Doctorate of 

Education from 

Montana State 

University. As a high school student he 

worked for a number of years on the ES 

Bar Ranch in northern Musselshell, 

Montana where he raised a small herd of 

registered and commercial Hereford cattle 

with Domino and Zato Heir breeding being 

the prominent strain. Before beginning his 

studies at Montana State University Paul, 

like many other young people, sold his 

cattle. While at Montana State University 

he earned a degree in Animal Science (Pre- 

Veterinary). As a member of the school’s 

judging team Paul visited the Miles City 

Experiment Station gaining an appreciation 

for the excellent Line One Herefords 

whose derivation made him a believer in 

performance oriented cattle. 

In the past ten years Paul and Danny 

have focused on performance 

characteristics of both horned and polled 

Hereford genetics. Paul developed a herd 

of approximately 70 head of brood cows, 

and several bulls, focusing first on 

genetics, then EPDs followed by solid 

phenotype. To date his best flush cow is 

by the great Cooper 759 bull (DeShazer’s 

bought a flush with her as dam, too). His 

cow herd is largely based upon genetics 

developed by the late Frank Felton, 

Missouri, crossing well with Star Lake 

bulls such as 29F, Remitall bulls like Online 

and Spearhead Ranch’s Feltons Kirk 953 

(National Reference Sire Program). 

His other careers are based upon a fair 

amount of service and the privilege of leading 

young men and women of the US Army. 

General Funk held a variety of command 

positions, from platoon through division, 

leading to his assignment as the Commanding 

General, III Corps, and Fort Hood, Texas, 

considered the world’s most powerful 

formation. The assignment came with a budget 

of $1 Billion, with a $2 Billion payroll, and 

contract base to match the 162,000 soldiers 

assigned to Fort Hood. He served as the 

Commanding General of the U.S. Army Armor 

Center and Fort Knox, Kentucky, from June 

1992 to October 1993. He commanded the 

Third Armored Division, United States Army, 

Europe, from December 1990 to April 1991, 

when the Division distinguished itself as part 

of the VII Corps, during Operation Desert 

Shield and Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia, 

Kuwait and Iraq. He was the Commanding 

General of the National Training Center and 

Fort Irwin, Fort Irwin, California; Assistant 

Division Commander, 9 th Infantry Division 

(Motorized), Fort Lewis, Washington; 

Commander of the 194 th Separate Armored 

Brigade; and 5 th Battalion, 33 rd Armor, Fort 

Knox, Kentucky. 

General Funk served a combat tour in 

Vietnam as Executive Officer and then 

Commander of Troop A, 1 st Squadron, 9 th 

Cavalry, 1 st Cavalry Division. He commanded

His decorations include three awards for 

heroism: the Distinguished Flying Cross; Air 

Medal with “V” device (and twenty-five Oak 

Leaf Clusters); Army Commendation Medal 

with “V” device (and three Oak Leaf Clusters); 

and other awards for performance and service. 

He was selected as one of the top 100 graduates 

in the first 100 years from Montana State 

University. In 1998, he was awarded an 

Honorary Doctorate of Engineering from 

Montana State University. 

Funk also worked with General Dynamics 

Land Systems. He served as Vice President for 

Middle Eastern Operations from 1996 to 1999 

when he was promoted to Vice President for 

Customer Service and Support managing 

around a $110 Million dollar business. He 

served at General Dynamics until 2001 

whereupon he joined UT. 

Butch and his wife Danny have three 

children: COL Paul E. Funk II, James Funk, 

and Becky Clonts. The Funks are proud 

grandparents to eight grandchildren. 

Simply put, for most of his adult life Paul 

Funk was given the privilege of serving in 

leadership positions requiring a fair amount of 

management skill, and an ability to manage 

budgets, and produce profits. Each job required 

the building of teams, sometimes under life 

threatening conditions, composed of our very 

best of people from a diverse set of 

backgrounds. His philosophy as a leader is to 

be in the people business, and let everything 

else flow from there.

Byron’s Editorial... 


spend a summer at our ranch for some 

different experience with a Hereford 

operation. We were happy to have James 

and what a fine young man he was, 

working with our crew and family 

which included our son Rich, who was 

about the same age as James and also a 

college student, and also our daughters 

Kathy and Jill. James became a leader 

in both Junior AHA and in the sheep 

industry. We did not hear a lot from 

James through the years but his Mother 

kept us informed each Christmas with 

a nice card.

A fine young man is gone way before 

his time and we will all miss his presence. 

James was 49 years old. 

After I had returned from a cattle trip 

to Idaho I recovered a message on my 

phone that George Schlickau of Haven, 

KS had passed away. George fought a 

tough battle these past few years with 

his health. George was from a Hereford 

family that is now starting into their 2 nd 

hundred years in the business. George 

and I were on the AHA board at the same 

time and we were good friends and spent 

a lot of time together for several years. 

George was a fine man and loved his 

Herefords. We became close to Lois, 

George’s wife, too, and she was as

active or maybe more so in agriculture 

as George. It is hard to imagine the 

Hereford business without George being 

involved. Time goes by and there are 

not many left from that Board of 

Directors. Those were the times when 

the AHA had a lot of money in the bank. 

I will remember the good times, George. 

His family will carry on in the business. 

I was interested to read Tom Krauss’ 

advertisement in the Kansas Hereford 

publication last month. He brings out 

some good points on why our EPDs 

don’t always tell the whole story. I think 

that generally all the EPD tells us is the 

trend of the performance of the animal. 

The segments that can really bite you 

though are the birth weight and milk and 

carcass. If the animal is young these 

can change so fast you wonder what 

happened. When a bull is bred to a lot 

of cows the birthweight EPD’s become 

much more accurate so I always use

caution with a young bull. This year in 

the industry we have seen a popular bull 

that was used on many cows, have a 

jump in his birth EPD of nearly 5# and 

this really shocked a lot of people. The 

higher percentage of accuracy list 

means less chance for shock. The 

ultrasound for carcass data comes later 

in an animal’s life (one year or so) and 

that data can really change from the 

parental data or in the case of little 

previous data. Now milk seems to be 

another matter. How many of you have 

ever seen a lower milk EPD change 

much, no matter what the calf weans 

off at weaning time. Milk will come 

down pretty easily but very seldom will 

it go up much or any. Tom relates this 

in his article/ad. I keep asking for a good 

answer to this and so far I haven’t had 

one. The other day I talked to a breeder

at ring side, these animals are usually 

the more growthy and healthy types in 

the herd. In this day of crossbreeding 

and rainbow cattle it is a little hard to 

understand commercially. In genetics, 

in any species, any breed, any line, you 

can probably find some kind of a 

genetic problem in the background. 

Don’t get smug with whatever you are 

raising, just be aware that nothing is 

perfect! That is just the way that it is in 

this world. 

By the time that you read this column 

I will have covered the Holden, Cooper, 

Split Butte and Mohican sales and then 

on to NILE in Billings. Marc and Jill have 

the North Dakota tour, LaGrand sale and 

we go on from there into a busy fall 

sale season. I hope to visit with many 

of you readers at these events. So long.

Jill’s Editorial.... 

The end of summer, beginning of 

fall here in our neck of the woods 

means the beginning of yet another 

grueling but enjoyable travel schedule 

to a number of Hereford events. 

September 1 meant travel in different 

directions for us, with Marc going 

on the Kansas Hereford Tour and me 

heading to the Minnesota State Fair. 

We did actually meet up at the South 

Dakota State Fair for a few days. 

I had not been to the Minnesota 

State Fair in a couple of years so it 

was good to “go Back East” and see 

our Hereford friends out there. It was 

about 600 miles one way and the 

beginning of the first big gas price 

hike so that was an expensive trip. I 

started out paying $3.15 per gallon and

it ranged from about $2.80 to $3.18 

across SD and into MN. Most of the 

time it was $3.00-3.15. I haven’t lived 

in or driven through a big city by myself 

for a number of years so the trek 

into St. Paul, where the State Fair is held, 

was nerve-wracking to say the least. I 

guess it really wasn’t all that bad as I 

somehow managed not to take any 

wrong turns and went right to the fairgrounds 

without incident. John Schmidt 

• Nebraska • 

recommends traveling through the city 

at about 3:00 in the morning to beat the 

traffic. I guess that would do it especially 

if you’re pulling a trailer. Maybe 

he’s just looking for a little extra help on 

show morning! 

As usual the Hereford show at that 

state fair was the largest beef breeds 

show as was the Hereford show at the 

South Dakota State Fair. I think the quality 

in Minnesota this year was the best
