FADS COME AND GO ....BUT THIS KIND OF FEMALE WILL NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE... AND WE’VE BEEN DOING IT SINCE 1959!

At Rogers Bar HR... • She does produce a calf every year. • She does give plenty of milk. • She does breed back. • She does everything a cow is supposed to do. • She does it without a lot of pampering in the real world on grass. • She has proven genetics and a stacked pedigree full of trait leaders. • And, it didn’t happen overnight. We have been building our program for 55 years which is how we have become the largest purebred producer in the Southeast. 2006 BIF PIONEER Award Winner

VIEWPOINT

CHAROLAIS Rollin’ Along

Membership is the focus

Summer is typically a time to regroup. Summer at AICA is always focused

on the junior nationals and the related logistics to pull off one of the largest junior events among beef breed associations. This year is no different. However, this summer our offices are a blur with action in addition to AIJCA events. Most of you are aware, through long range planning efforts, major computer upgrades were scheduled to be completed this year. We are currently well into the process. The computer upgrades are significant and impact every component of member services. Our original programming was written in a language that is now virtually obsolete. The new programming is written in a contemporary language that provides much more flexibility as well as integration and expansion capabilities for the future. We still have work to do and, with new programming such as this, there will be “bugs” to work out. We appreciate your patience and assure you the new system will meet our needs well into the future. The Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) annual convention is one of the

absolutely necessary to a breed’s relevance in the beef industry. Association hierarchy, while sometimes controversial, is a time-tested model as long as everyone involved respects the importance and role of the hierarchy. Selfserving agendas are counterproductive. The model works like a well-oiled machine when members communicate clearly and objectively to their board representatives. The board communicates, via committee structure, to the executive leadership, then programs and services are implemented to serve the majority and the greater good. Systems are in place to address all issues. However, the overarching objective is to ultimately arrive at common goal solutions. For more than half a century, AICA has been fortunate to have men and women willing to volunteer their time and energies to serve on the board of directors or special committees. All geographic and demographics are represented by these volunteers. They dedicate time and personal resources to come to the proverbial table with ideas and discussions. They come to the table respecting the fact that debate is healthy and solutions must be

“...an active and participating association membership is absolutely necessary to a breed’s relevance in the beef industry.”

industry’s most important events for the registered sector. This year, AICA hosted an educational tour just prior to BIF. The first stop on the “Pathway To Genomic Enhanced EPDs” tour was the GeneSeek lab in Lincoln, Neb. GeneSeek Genomic Profiler is the test panel used by AICA to determine relevant DNA data. Wednesday morning the group toured Meat Animal Research Center (MARC), Clay Center, Neb. MARC has been responsible for the majority of qualitative data on every beef breed in the U.S. for decades. The tour returned to Lincoln just in time for the welcome reception at the 2014 BIF convention. The BIF tour provided more information to members regarding the importance of genomic enhanced EPDs. AICA’s efforts to build a genomic database of sires through the 50K Genotype Project has now moved forward. The genomic information is currently being analyzed and a population “trained” to reflect the genomic enhancements (GE-EPD). The goal is to have the genomic data reflected in the Fall 2014 Genetic Evaluation. Membership is the focus of this issue of the Charolais Journal. At the risk of understatement, an active and participating association membership is

grounded in objectivity and good for everyone, regardless of size of operation or geographic location. Communication is key and good leadership at the board and committee level is imperative to a functional association. Communication with the entire membership is the responsibility of everyone in a leadership position. While respectful debate is healthy, once resolution is achieved, solidarity is the natural closure for an issue. Volunteering to serve in a leadership role at AICA or any breed association takes serious commitment. The issues are more complex than ever before and often the solutions require inordinate problem solving skills. As an AICA member or beef producer implementing Char-influenced genetics, the members willing to serve as breed leaders have done an amazing job through good times and bad. They deserve our thanks for their commitment and leadership. If you haven’t already, be sure to “like” us on Facebook to receive nearly real-time updates from the AICA office. We hope to see you all at the “Wheat State White Out” Junior National, July 6-11, Hutchinson, Kan.

New Online Registration System

AmericanInternational Charolais Association The AICA is the official registry for Charolais and Charbray cattle in the United States. Charolais cattle were first brought to the U.S. in 1936. In 1957, the American Charolais Breeders Association and the International Charolais Breeders Association merged forming the present AICA. Membership in the AICA is obtainable when the applicant has ownership in at least one animal, and has paid the initial membership fee of $125. AICA annual dues are $100.

AICA’s online registration system is now available for our members to use. Your username (breeder number) and password is the same as in the old system. Once you log in, you’ll see many familiar headings; the system works very much like the previous system. With this new programming, AICA will be able to address our members’ needs by enhancing the system with many new updates in the months ahead. Junior National Live!

The 2014 AIJCA Junior National will be held in Hutchinson, Kan. July 6-11. If you can’t make it to the show log on to LiveAuctions.tv to watch the events live. Advertising Deadline - The Cattleman’s Source

The deadline to place advertising in the 2014-2015 Cattleman’s Source - is August 1. Contact your area field representative about advertising opportunities in this issue as well as other available options. Record your 2014 born calves

Record calves using AICA’s online system. Add the data as the calves are born and continue to update the records as you add weaning and yearling data. Register the calves at any time by just adding the name. Performance Deadline

Make sure your performance data is included in the Fall 2014 Sire Summary Analysis. Data must be submitted by July 15th to be included in the Fall Sire Summary. 18 

Data Conversion New functionality for users

Over the last several months, AICA has successfully

gone through a data conversion and implementation of new software. The good news is there have been very few days that we could not process and print your paperwork. The on-line system has however taken longer than hoped, but the result is an on-line system that meets the needs of our on-line users and provides the flexibility to add new functionality. We also have a new “search” site on the home page. You now can view all the information on an animal in a format designed to make viewing on your mobile devises much easier. Use the tabs to find the information you’re looking for. There is complete performance information provided when available and a useful Percentile Rank bar chart under the EPD tab. Questions regarding the 50K status of a bull can be quickly answered by clicking the “lab” tab. There will be enhancements to the search function and the on-line registration system in the future, making this system far superior to the previous one. We appreciate your patience through the whole process and your constructive suggestions. Get your performance date entered on-line or sent to the office by August 1st to be included in the fall sire summary. Keep in mind; complete reporting and accurate contemporary groups are important in the EPD analysis. Typically a contemporary group consists of animals of the same sex, managed the same and weighed on the same date.

NEWS NOTES

AICA MEMBERSHIP Obituary

Mary Grimes, 79, of McKnightstown, Pa., passed away peacefully from her little white farmhouse on the eastern shoulder of South Mountain on April 29, 2014. Family and friends surrounded her. Born August 20, 1934 in Browningsville, Md., she was the daughter of Buck and Ethel Gladhill. She was the wife of the late Ray Grimes whom she married on June 18, 1971 and he passed in March 30, 2007. They established a Charolais herd at their South Mountain Farm in 1974. The herd grew to 150 cows and summered in the Gettysburg National Park. Mary graduated from Damascus High School. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association and the Grandparent’s Syndicate that supported the Adams County 4-H. Her artistic expressions were consumed with sewing, decorating, and cooking. Life was always filled with helping people and advancing community. She taught adult sewing classes in Montgomery County Adult Education and then as a farm wife, continued fostering those skills to others at Daugherty and Hartley on the Square in Gettysburg. She later combined her sewing and decorating endeavors in her creation of the annual hay bale sculpture,

Route 30 Gertie. Much of her latter life was as a United States Post Mistress with the communities of Idaville, Franklintown, and McKnightstown. As a matriarch of the farm community she helped tend for cattle, Christmas trees, and varieties of vegetables with the same zeal that she had for the farmers, the helpers, and their children. There was always enough room at the dinner table for one more. She is survived by 4 children, Ginny Rinehart (David), Willie Heckman (Jerry), Scott Davis and John Davis; 2 step-children, Linda Rhodes (Mike) and Judy Davis; 7 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren. Survived by Bernardine Beall and Maurice Gladhill, predeceased by brother, Sam Gladhill. A memorial service was May 17th, at Flohr’s Church, reception at the Cashtown Fire Hall. Family suggests memorial contributions be made to Adams County 4-H, 670 Old Harrisburg Road, Gettysburg, Pa., 17325.

Directors By Area

Hey everyone! My name is Mason Lewis and I’m currently serving as your Treasurer and Area 5 director for the AIJCA Board. I’m from Monroe, Iowa where my family and I operate ML Lewis Charolais. This coming fall, I will be senior at Iowa State University where I’m pursuing a major in Agronomy with a minor in Animal Science. I hope to move close to home after graduation and work as an agronomist for a local COOP. Where have the years gone? I can remember, like it was yesterday, the first year I went to Junior Nationals. It was 2005 in Hutchinson, Kansas. I didn’t know anybody or know what to expect. I remember how I thought the drive down to Hutchinson would never end; when it was only a six and half hour drive. I couldn’t believe how many

doing what I would consider my dream job that is close to home. The only problem was that I just finished my junior year of college and they wanted me to start right away. I was going to have to work a full time job and go to college. Before I made a decision, I had to weigh out my options of doing my dream job or missing out on my senior year I talked to multiple people, who I respected for advice, before I made this decision. I’m glad that I took time to think it over before I made a decision. When I was younger, I didn’t like change. I feel that being a member of the AIJCA board has made me challenge myself to try new things. My advice is to weigh each opportunity before making a decision. Don’t just make a decision right away. Challenge yourself to think of the pros and cons of each

“It just goes to show how I have grown through being a member of this association. ” Charolais cattle there were. I had never seen so many Charolais cattle in one place. I didn’t make very many friends my first year. A lot has changed since then, and; I never would have guessed how far my membership within the AIJCA would take me. After nine years, my journey within the AIJCA will come to a close exactly where it started in Hutchinson, Kansas. I never would have thought nine years ago that I would continue to go to Junior National or that I would ever be back to the same place. I remember looking up to the board members, but never thought that I would be one or even an officer. It just goes to show how I have grown through being a member of this association. When I was younger, I never wanted to stand up in front of people or do anything that dealt with public speaking. At 21-yearsold, I’m still a little uncomfortable, but it is something I’m working on and striving to get better at. I feel that I wouldn’t have been able to face that fear if it wasn’t for being a member of the AIJCA. I have found over the years that opportunities can come at any time. Recently, I was offered a full time job 32 

decision. I ended up not taking the job because there are things I want to do at college that outweigh doing my dream job right now. Lastly, I would like to make everyone aware of one of the unique opportunities available if you’re a member of the AIJCA. As a junior member, you can be recognized for continued achievement by applying for the National Junior Merit Program. There are three levels – Bronze, Silver, and Gold. This program is a way to showcase your achievements both in and out of the show ring. In addition to shows, it takes in account offices held and the performance of your cattle herd. Every year juniors are recognized at the AIJCA Annual Awards Banquet for their achievement. Recipients of the Gold Merit are eligible to interview for the Elite Gold Award. I was fortunate enough to receive all three levels throughout my membership in the AIJCA, while also being awarded the Elite Gold last year at Junior Nationals. The Merit Program is really easy to fill out and a great way to look back on what you’ve done over the years. CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

MISSOURI CHAROLAIS BREEDERS ASSOCIATION Dear Charolais Enthusiasts: What an exciting time to be in the beef business! Even better, it’s a great day to be a Charolais breeder. As we know, the “Great White Breed” offers a great deal to all facets of the beef industry, and the Missouri Charolais Breeders would like to share their programs with you. As you make travel plans during the next several months, the Missouri Charolais Breeders Association (MCBA) invites you to stop in and make herd visits, as well as participate in several upcoming MCBA hosted events. As you browse through the Missouri Charolais Directory, I believe you will see that the Missouri breeders are committed to bringing you the best Charolais genetics available. Throughout the past year, those genetics unleashed statewide success and excitement for the breed. For instance, our 49th Annual MCBA State sale had the best year yet, averaging $4,480. Eight Missouri Charolais sales ranked in the nation’s top female and bull sales for 2013, and spring 2014 sales were even more successful. Missouri is also #2 in the nation for both Active and Junior AICA memberships, #4 for total enrolled females, and #3 for animals registered. Further, eight Missouri breeders ranked in the top 100 of the breed for registrations in 2013. It is safe to say that Charolais excitement in Missouri is on a roll, and we plan to keep the momentum moving forward. In addition, our Junior program is top-notch. The adult membership is second-to-none in its support of the juniors. For example, at our annual banquet, the Junior Auction raised over $6,600. Our juniors host several events throughout the year, namely the Sho-Me Classic Junior Show, which gives juniors from any state the opportunity to exhibit their Charolais cattle in a highly competitive event. With the Junior National returning to Missouri in 2016, we look forward to helping the juniors plan such a great event. The MCBA is hard at work promoting Charolais cattle across the State. During the next several months, the Missouri Charolais Breeders Association will be hosting a field day, the National Charolais Events in Kansas City, herd tours, and State Sales. As a testament to the Charolais presence in Missouri, the 2013 Missouri State Fair was the nation’s largest state fair for both open and junior entries. This fall promises to be special with the National events coming back to Kansas City. Mark your calendars for October 31 - November 1, where the MCBA will host the 46th National Show and 36th National Sale at the American Royal in Kansas City, as well as the 2014 Royal Breeders Bull Classic. With a variety of activities, there are several ways for you to be involved. Whether you attend the Missouri State Fair Charolais show, participate in the Field Day in September, take part in the AICA National ROE activities in Kansas City, sit in on a sale, or stop in at a breeder’s herd to visit with them about their genetics, the MCBA would like to welcome you to Missouri, and encourage you to participate in these events. They say they proof is in the pudding, and this Directory is just a snapshot of the great Charolais cattle in Missouri. If your travel plans take you through Missouri for the Junior National in Kansas or during National Charolais Events in Kansas City, please take another look through the directory on your way, and see if there are programs you would like to visit while you are in the area. Our breeders would be more than happy to share their program with you. Please do not hesitate to contact any board member or any breeder if you have any questions about upcoming activities or how to become involved. Don’t forget to keep an eye on our website for more information as well. Sincerely,

Jeannine Doughty Jeannine Doughty MCBA President

Mark and Nancy Satterfield of Satterfield Charolais, Norfork, Ark.

Bob Tibbs of Shadow Springs Farm, Havre de Grace, Md.

uilding a better beef industry through the use of cutting edge genetics, planned marketing strategies, and defining programs, three Charolais breeders from across the country are focusing their course of action on goals to keep them on the forefront of today’s quickly changing industry. It doesn’t take long to determine that success is no accident for Alan and Leslie Alexander of Hang’n A Cattle Company in Pasco, Washington; Bob and Judy Tibbs of Shadow Springs Farm in Havre de Grace, Maryland, and Mark and Nancy Satterfield of Satterfield Charolais in Norfork, Arkansas, all who took time from their busy schedules to discuss the versatility, failures and successes of their programs and today’s beef industry As diverse as the terrain on which they run their cattle, these three operations are among today’s progressive Charolais breeders utilizing steadfast agendas to lead the way in producing a better product for today’s cattlemen and tomorrow’s consumer. Spanning the nation from the northwest to the east coast, these operations are taking advantage of breed programs, social networking and the latest in genetic technology to keep their programs on track.

Satterfield Charolais is located in the north central Arkansas Ozarks.

Tracking Progress Essential for Success

Hangn’ A Cattle Company is located in south central Washington overlooking the Columbia River.

Whether boasting a history that includes generations of family involvement with the Charolais breed or as relative newcomers, these three breeding programs all agree that the American-International Charolais Association’s Whole Herd Rewards program is a must for keeping track of progress. “I just think that it’s the best program there is going,” says Bob Tibbs of Shadow Springs Farm. Tibbs, who as a teenager in the 50s took the plunge into the cattle business by using a Charolais bull on his Hereford heifer, now as a purebred Charolais breeder appreciates a performance program that makes it “easy and economical” to register cattle and maintain records. While reporting is left to the discretion of the breeder, these progressive operators are sold on the importance of telling it all. “We feel it gives our herd credibility,” note Alan and Leslie Alexander of the Hang’n A Cattle Company,

where they’ve been breeding registered Charolais since 1969 after successfully using Charolais bulls on their red and black Angus cows. “We report all our performance, ultrasound and scrotal for the entire world to see. We like the ability to track our herd performance all in one place – the good and the bad.” “It’s important to report all of your records, not just the best,” chimes in the younger Mark Satterfield of Norfork, Arkansas, who began his trek into the industry in 1996 and is another strong proponent of the WHR program. And it’s that same “all or none” attitude that keeps this young breeder moving Satterfield Charolais forward. Moving forward sometimes means taking the good with the bad as these breeders agree, and that’s where the WHR program, with its adjustments and ratios, allows them to not only record information, but also see the direction their herd is taking. “It separates the men from boys,” concludes Alexander.

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

Keeping his customers confident in his program is important and he knows he’s attained that confidence when a repeat buyer regularly just picks up the phone and says, “Send ‘em to me.”

Birth Weights are important to Bob Tibb’s customers. This herd sire has had over 200 birth weights reported to AICA.

Performance Data and DNA Allow Customers to Buy with Confidence

All well-engaged in the benefits of the WHR, it’s no surprise that this panel of breeders is also devoted to the collection of performance data and are anxiously awaiting the AICA’s roll out of Genomic- Enhanced EPDs this fall. Diversity in customer demands sets the three operations apart as to the emphasis they place on various traits, but all are adamant in the importance of tracking performance. While customers in the Northwest look to the Alexanders and the Charolais breed for growth, Tibbs is “really particular on birth weights” and Satterfield, boldly interjects that the Charolais breed offers “bulls to fit every cattleman’s needs” and accurate performance records help customers know they can be confident in their purchase. “Our customers want performance and expect it from the Charolais breed,” says Alan Alexander. “We focus

on growth first as long as the birth weights don’t get too out of hand. Birth weight is a secondary consideration as long as the bull is made right in his front end. We also monitor Milk EPDs to make sure any F1 females retained by our customers will make productive cows later.” “Charolais had a bad name about calving ease in the past, so we’re really particular on birth weights and smooth shoulders,” says Tibbs who reports birth, weaning and yearling weights. Ultrasound data is collected mostly on bulls and occasionally on females. Keeping his customers confident in his program is important and he knows he’s attained that confidence when a repeat buyer regularly just picks up the phone and says, “Send ‘em to me.” As for genomics, “I think it’s going to make us produce better cattle quicker and I’m anxious to see how this comes out,” said Tibbs, a past president of the AICA who has also served on the board at Genex and feels pretty confident in the accuracies. “I think the breed is going to be a little slow to pick it up, but proof will be in the pudding.” “It’s a move in the right direction,” says Satterfield, whose herd also consists of 40 Angus cows, and is no stranger to genomics and enhanced EPDs. He sees the new program as another tool that will allow customers to expand their selection opportunities and keep the Charolais breed moving forward. Currently testing the top end of the Angus herd, Satterfield is quick to add, “This is the direction needed to increase breed popularity and continue on the right path.” The Hang’n A has also been testing herd bulls and a few select females with the GeneSeek 50K DNA test thru AICA. “Our buyers rotate Charolais and Angus bulls in their herd and the Angus breed has done a good job of incorporating genomics into their EPDs. Our customers know what they are and how to use them,” explained Alexander. “Once the Charolais breed comes on board, the enhanced EPDs will be appreciated by many of our customers.”

Traditional Promotion Gets Help from Social Media While all of the programs utilize print advertising, including the Charolais Journal for promotion, they have also made the transition to electronic media for their marketing programs. Each of the farms boast attractive and informative websites, but not without the HANG’N A CATTLE COMPANY PIONEER ANGUS usual challenges of keeping them updated. ROCKING R Tibbs, who makes the most of email for sending (509) 545-8816 • 509-727-9151 CATTLE COMPANY photos to customers who request them, says the Shadow Springs website was launched last year, “but hasn’t been kept up to date.” Alexanders utilize attractive print advertising in the Charolais Journal “Everyone wants information right now, and if you and regional beef cattle publications. can’t supply it quickly you may lose a prospective buyer,” says Leslie Alexander who “Everyone wants information right now, and if you can’t recently designed the A website and also supply it quickly you may lose a prospective buyer,” says Hang’n maintains a facebook page Leslie Alexander who recently designed the Hang’n A for the ranch. “We use media quite a website and also maintains a facebook page for the ranch.” electronic bit.

At the Rancher’s Choice bull sale, Hangn’A bulls are penned to allow potential customers a solid viewing experience.

Marketing Strategies Designed to Keep Operations Moving Forward

“We market our bulls through our annual ‘Rancher’s Choice’ production bull sale each February,” says Alexander, noting that the 2015 event will be the 12th year for the Hang’n A to participate as a co-host of the event held in Eltopia, Washington. Building relationships with cattlemen in the region is important to the Alexanders who sell a few bulls into registered herds each year, but recognize their “bread and butter” comes from commercial cattlemen. “We’ve built up relationships with buyers over the years and they have stuck with us through thick and thin.” Hang’n A females are sold private treaty at weaning time. Hosting their first sale in 2012 the Satterfields offer both bulls and females in the annual event held at their sale facility on their second farm near Evening Shade, Ark. And, it appears Mark’s conscientious efforts to develop a top notch herd with cutting edge genetics is paying off. “Any genetics I use in my herd has to be the best available,” said Mark, adding “there’s not a bull servicing in the pastures that’s not also listed in an A.I. stud.” Additionally, Satterfield, who maintains an extensive embryo program, disperses all of his six-year-old cows each year. “This gives our customers the opportunity to buy females in the prime of their production. It also keeps our herd young and our genetics fresh.”

Both Satterfield and the Hang’n A have had sales rank among the top within the Charolais breed. With only about 60 head of momma cows, the marketing strategy used by Tibbs for cattle raised at Shadow Springs takes a different direction, but is equally effective. With an impressive following for private treaty sales, Tibbs need only place a few ads in local papers to move the spring and fall born bulls, along with a few really good show heifers for junior projects. “This works out real well for us,” said Tibbs, noting that “bottom-enders, and we all have them, are fed out and sold for freezer beef.” The Tibbs’ have also focused their marketing on the promotion of Charolais to locals and it has been working out well for both they and their customers. “When you go to the county fair and don’t see any white cattle, it’s disheartening to you as a breeder,” explains Tibbs, who in response to that lack of participation has been successful in getting local 4-H and FFA kids involved in a program that not only supports the future of Charolais, but has also helped support their sale of show heifers. “We give kids a middle of the road heifer and see what they can do with it before we get too involved,” according to Bob, who says the program has worked out well. “If you get the kids interested, then the parents will get interested. We’ve only had one kid that didn’t do well with it and this year at the county fair we’ll have 10 or 12 Charolais.”

Programs Pitch In to Help with AIJCA Programs Just as Shadow Springs supports youth on the local level, Tibbs and the other outfits share their commitment to the AICA’s junior programs. “I wish I had had the opportunity to participate in junior programs when I was a kid,” says Satterfield. “We didn’t even have FFA!” That being said, many believe junior programs to be a defining point for the future of the breed. And, while Satterfield is an exception to that theory, he wholly supports the junior programs mainly through monetary contributions and has worked with the local association in support of an AIJCA regional show. Placing high value on the association’s junior program, Tibbs and his wife Judy were honored as AIJCA national show dedicatees in 2011. “I think we’ve got one of the best scholarship programs of any of the breeds,” says Tibbs, who has also worked diligently to help get local juniors to Junior National events. “I have actually taken them in the past. We took juniors to Tennessee and also went to Missouri. We all met right here and with three loads piggy backed all the way.” Seeing AIJCA programs as a great way for kids to expand their knowledge of the Charolais breed and the livestock industry as a whole, the Alexanders chime in with high regard of junior programs. Leslie along with Bridget Clift serves as co-advisor for the Washington Junior Charolais Association. Even after their own kids aged out of the programs, they too have hauled kids and their animals to Junior Nationals across the country and were honored as AIJCA Co-Advisors of the Year in 2007 And, as a co-host with the Washington Junior Charolais Association for Summer Sizzle, an all-breed junior show, the Hang’n A helps give kids a “warm up” before they go to their fall fairs. Their Rancher’s Choice group also supports the Jackpot Steer Show and the ranch sponsors a “Charolais Influence” class, bringing more and more Smokey steers to compete against the Angus influenced competition. Summer Sizzle drew over 70 exhibitors in 2013.

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

Located an hour north of Baltimore and in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, Bob Tibbs is active with environmental issues and agriculture preservation.

The Best is Yet to Come for Charolais As for the direction the association is taking, these breeders seem to agree the best is yet to come. “Everyone needs to get over problems of the past and look toward the future,” says Satterfield. “The introduction of Genomic-Enhanced EPDs is a move in the right direction, but we can’t be satisfied with that. We have to keep doing more.” Tibbs agrees. The association and breed as a whole have overcome the past and genomics are going to be a big deal. But he too warns of too much contentment, “We need to keep our noses clean and use our knives a little more. We’ve got the best of two worlds right now…the cattle market and the breed.” Also reminiscing the days when calving ease and disposition plagued the breed, the Alexanders think the breed has a great future. “It’s well known that Charolais cross cattle excel in the feedlot and are gaining ground on the rail as well,” says Alan, who also has a positive attitude toward the association and its ability to do a great job with the resources available. “We’re looking forward to the coming improvements of the online system,” says Leslie, but both Alexanders nod in agreement that living “out west” poses a different set of problems than most breeders deal with and look forward to the day when a full-time field man is available as in other areas of the country and they will have a “local source for information, advice and maybe a herd visit once in a while.”

Satterfields have established an annual bull and female production sale.

An attractive entry way welcomes visitors to the Satterfield operation.

“Everyone needs to get over problems of the past and look toward the future,” says Satterfield.

Business of Raising Beef Not Without Challenges Again noting the challenges of the western way of life and breeders in the Northwest being few and far between, the Alexanders admit that getting breeders together in the area is a struggle due to geography, conflicts with youth sports and just a busy life in general. A dwindling membership in the Northwest Charolais Association which includes breeders in Oregon, Idaho and Washington has resulted in the discontinuation of the group’s annual consignment bull sale, and difficulty in finding enough participants for field days and the organization’s annual membership meeting. Across the country in Maryland, Tibbs, who has been involved with the Colonial Charolais Association, tells breeders who complain about an association not doing this, or not doing that, “You have to do your own promotion. If you want the association to do more, you have to get involved.” Satterfield, who is not big on community involvement in and around the small Ozarks community of Norfork, keeps his focus on the farm and the business of raising beef.

136 

J U N E / J U L Y 2014

But for Tibbs, involvement is important with environmental issues and agriculture preservation topping his list of causes. From fighting regulations that require the fencing of streams to keeping manure off the ground from October to March, finding ways to protect agriculture are important for the cattleman, who finds himself surrounded by those who can’t understand that farmers were the first environmentalists. Back in Pasco, Washington where Hang’n A Cattle Company overlooks the Columbia River, the Alexanders praise both the local and national entities of the Beef Commission for doing a great job of promoting and defending beef when issues arise. Located just 50 miles from where the first BSE cow was discovered in the United States, the Alexanders witnessed first-hand how hard commission employees worked to quiet the storm. They also support the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association as well as the Washington and Idaho Cattlemen’s Associations.

Building a LEGACY. T

he Charolais breed has a 43 year history of building the breed’s future. Development of the AIJCF began in 1970 when breed leaders met and formulated the initial plans to provide leadership and scholarship opportunities for Charolais youth. These efforts lead to the AIJCF’s first leadership and scholarship programs being introduced at the 1973 National Junior Leadership Conference. Through the early 1980’s, AIJCF programs continued to expand with the support of Charolais breeders nationwide. 1985 was a benchmark year for AIJCF when major contributions allowed for the program’s first endowed scholarships. Today, seven endowed scholarship funds form the foundation for the program.

Competition

In 2013, AIJCF awarded 30 youth from 14 states, $30,000 in scholarships. An additional $3,000 is awarded to 4 exhibitors at the Junior National Show and Leadership Conference. Selection criteria includes academic and leadership excellence. The Raymond Hicks Fund provides support for the Junior National Leadership conference.

Become part of the breed’s legacy!

Scholarships

• Your tax-deductible minimum donation of $20,000 to the American-International Junior Charolais Foundation will allow you to name a scholarship which will become endowed after a period of one year. • A minimum donation of $1,000 to the AmericanInternational Junior Charolais Foundation will allow the donor to name a scholarship to be awarded at the next Junior National.

•Donations of any size are encouraged at all times.

AICA was one of the first breed registries to establish a show program, Roll of Excellence (ROE) that provides national level competition on a regional basis across the United States. The AICA ROE Sire program recognizes sires for the achievement of progeny in National ROE Shows, Class A ROE Shows and Class B ROE Shows. A sire qualifies as a ROE Sire when progeny have accumulated a minimum total of 400 ROE points. A minimum of 200 points must be class A ROE points. For an outline of the ROE program, contact the AICA Director of Activities.

Are you utilizing your Veterinarian to the fullest?

By: Melissa DePriest, DVM

Dr. Melissa DePriest grew up in Savannah, Missouri and attended college at the University of Missouri-Columbia. She graduated with an Animal Science BS degree in 2009 and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine(DVM) degree in 2013. Dr. DePriest focused on food animal production medicine and surgery in school. She worked as a mixed animal practitioner at the DeWitt Veterinary Clinic in eastern Iowa following graduation, in which most of her time was spent with cow-calf operations. Dr. DePriest joined LIvestock Veterinary Service in March 2014 and works nearly exclusively with beef cattle. This is a progressive practice that offers services outside of traditional veterinary medicine. Examples of services provided include: production record management, nutritional consulting, and stocker business consulting. Dr. DePriest is very passionate about agriculture and enjoys working with cattle and farmers.

Understand the benefits of having a veterinarian on your production management team. Your veterinarian may be able to provide more valuable services for your herd than you realize. Production records Are you currently handling all of your production records? If you would like to continue to manage this information yourself, a veterinarian can provide you with additional useful information during routine pregnancy examinations and calf vaccinations. For example, giving each bred animal a Body Condition Score (BCS) as they are recorded as pregnant or open. A BCS estimates the amount of fat-covering, or energy reserves, on an individual animal. This information can help you prepare for feeding during pregnancy and maintaining an appropriate body condition prior to lactation---when energy demands are the highest for a cow. During calf vaccinations, a weight can be obtained to determine the performance of each calf and which cows are producing superior offspring. This is best used with a birth weight (which can be estimated to the nearest 5 pounds if you are unable to individually weigh each calf at birth). You can compare each animal to the group to discover the highest and lowest performing animals---this can also help you chose replacement heifers. Whether production records are something you would like to keep to yourself or if you would be interested in opening them up to a professional, a veterinarian can help you to whatever degree that you are comfortable. This can be anything from providing you with useful information for you to record and keep track of yourself, or presenting you with a summary or basic concepts of the information obtained. If you are interested in your veterinarian stepping into this portion of your production, just ask…they may be a valuable asset to your team. Nutrition Who do you go to when you have a question about nutrition? Many feed companies have nutritionists that are very knowledgeable and helpful for your operation. However, not all feed stores have a nutritionist on hand. And sometimes it may be helpful to have an additional opinion if you have any concerns about your diet or the nutritional health of your animals. Even if your veterinarian may not be comfortable answering these questions, they may be able to direct you to someone that is qualified to help. If anything, your veterinarian will have a better understanding of your operation, which can help with health issues in the future Cost-benefit analysis What is the value of routine veterinary services? What is the benefit of using a certain product? It may be worth the cost in some situations, but not others. Your veterinarian may be able to help you set up protocols that are more profitable for your farm. Summary The health of your herd involves many aspects of your production system. If you are looking for someone to consult with about any part your operation, it might be beneficial to look to your veterinarian. They may be able to help you obtain the information you are seeking.
