A few cows will become reproductively unsound, broken-mouths, bad udders, open, and/or just plain OLD. If feed resources are available, some producers may wish to market the culls after the first of the year for tax purposes. The Beef Audits have generally shown that cull cows, bulls, and cull dairy cows make up about 20 percent of the beef available for consumption in the U.S. About half of this group (or 10 percent of the beef supply) comes from cull beef cows. Cow herd budgets often show that cull cows and bulls make up about 20 percent of the gross income in a cow calf operation. Whether we are culling because of drought or to improve the productivity of the herd, it is important to understand the values placed on cull cows intended for slaughter. The USDA market news service reports on four classes of cull cows. The four classes are divided primarily on fatness. The highest conditioned cull cows are reported as “Breakers.” They usually are quite fleshy and generally have excellent dressing percentages. Body condition score 7 and above are required to be Breakers. The next class is a more moderate conditioned group of cows called “Boners” or “Boning Utility.” These cows usually would fall in the body condition score grades of 5.5 to 7. Many well-nourished commercial beef cows would be graded Boners. The last two groups of cows as reported by the market news service are the “Leans” and “Lights.” These cows are emaciated to thin with body condition scores (BVS) 1 – 5. They are in general expected to be lower in dressing percentage than the fleshier cows and are more easily bruised while being transported than are cows in better body condition. 4 Miniature Hereford News; Issue #22 Lights are thin cows that are very small and would have very low hot carcass weights. Leans and Lights are nearly always lower in price per pound than are the Boners and the Breakers. Lights often bring the lowest price per pound because the amount of saleable product is small, even though the overhead costs of slaughtering and processing are about the same as larger, fleshier cows. Producers that sell cull cows should pay close attention to the market news reports about the price differentials of the cows in these classes. Cull cows that can be fed enough to gain body condition to improve from the Lean class to Boner class can gain weight and gain in value per pound at the same time. Seldom, if ever, does this situation exist elsewhere in the beef business. For example, in Oklahoma City, the difference in Leans versus Boners was about 6 dollars per hundredweight in favor of the Boner cows. On some occasions, the gap between Leans and Boners has been as wide as 10 dollars. Therefore, market your cull cows while still in good enough condition to fall in the Boner grade. If cows are being culled while very thin, consider short term dry lot feeding or putting them on wheat pasture to take them up in weight and up in grade. This usually can be done in about 50 to 70 days with excellent feed efficiency. Rarely does it pay to feed enough to move the cow to the Breaker class. There is very little if any price advantage of Breakers over Boners and cows lose feed efficiency if fed to that degree of fatness. A source of market information for many states and many livestock markets can be found at the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service website: Feeder and Replacement Cattle Summary.

It’s now January, however, and Mother Nature has switched gears and brutally cold winter weather has arrived. In fact, despite the weatherman promising “plentiful sunshine” today, even a bright sun can’t take the sting out of a high of -9 °F with 20 mph winds that make it feel like -29°. Ranchers don’t have the luxury of calling off work and hunkering down in the house when things get cold. Part of the rancher’s job description is weathering the elements – whatever they are – and making sure the cattle are tended to. We know what we need and can provide for ourselves. Fortunately for us, we also have warm trucks and tractors, plenty of warm layers to wear, and plenty of hot coffee to keep us from freezing when the weather gets tough. Cattle are built to handle all sorts of weather conditions if they have the proper nutrition, body insulation and wind breaks. Still, special attention must be paid to ensure that’s all available when the temperatures drop to the extreme lows we’re currently seeing. Here are four considerations for managing the effects of cold stress on beef cows. 1. Reduce wind speeds to increase animal comfort Warren Rusche, South Dakota State University Extension cow-calf field specialist, says that wind speed can drop the effective temperature dramatically. “Most beef producers understand that when the weather gets colder their cows need more energy to maintain their body condition,” says Rusche. “The questions are when do cows start experiencing cold stress and then how much more energy do they need? When we’re considering cold stress, we need to factor in both the actual temperature and the wind speed to determine the effective temperature. Any kind of available protection, whether natural or 6 Miniature Hereford News; Issue #22 man-made, can be very valuable in reducing the amount of wind chill.” 2. Cows’ energy needs increase as the the temperature drops Rusche says, “As a general rule, for every degree that the effective temperature is below the lower critical temperature, the cow’s energy needs increase by 1%. For instance, if the effective temperature is 17 °F, the energy needs of a cow with a dry winter coat are about 15% higher than they would be under more moderate conditions. That energy requirement jumps up to about 40% higher under those conditions if the hair coat is completely wet or matted down with mud. “One of the ways that the cow responds to cold stress is by increasing voluntary feed intake. The animal’s entire metabolism system increases in activity. Also, the passage rate of roughages through the rumen and digestive tract increases. These changes trigger an increase in the cow’s appetite and voluntary intake.” 3. Make sure feed intake is maintained Rusche says, “There are some management considerations that we need to keep in mind regarding changes in feed intake in response to cold stress and the cow’s need for more energy. Make sure that water is available. If water availability is restricted, feed intake will be reduced. If the feed availability is limited, either by snow cover or access to hay feeders, the cattle may not have the opportunity to eat as much as their appetite would dictate. Be careful providing larger amounts of high-concentrate feeds. Rapid diet changes could cause significant digestive upsets.” 4. Sort off thin cows for more specialized care Chris Clark, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach beef program specialist, suggests sorting off thin cows to a separate area. Official Publication of the MHBA “By sorting off thinner cows to a separate area, you can provide them with a higher-quality ration while eliminating competition from other cows. If you are using lower-quality forages, it’s important to supplement those forages appropriately to meet animal requirements. Nutrient requirements go up throughout the third trimester and early lactation, so cows that are thin right now will need a high plane of nutrition to keep up with fetal growth, milk production and Iowa winter weather.” What special steps do you take to reduce cold stress in your herd? The opinions of Amanda Radke are not necessarily those of Beefmagazine.com or the Penton Farm Progress Group. About Amanda Radke A fifth-generation rancher from Mitchell, SD, Amanda grew up on a purebred Limousin cattle operation in which she and husband Tyler are active. She graduated with a degree in agriculture journalism from South Dakota State University and was active from a young age in advocacy for the U.S. beef industry. Perhaps you’ve heard the story of a young FFA member who led a walkout of several thousand members from a Carrie Underwood concert in 2006 in protest of the country singer’s anti-meat positions and association with the Humane Society of the U.S. That young person was Amanda. She’s the 2006 National FFA Extemporaneous Speaking champion, and the 2006 National Beef Ambassador. And she’s served previous internships with USDA’s Ag Marketing Service in Washington D.C, and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association in Denver, and BEEF magazine. On BEEF Daily, Amanda provides timely industry news and commentary from the unique perspective of a young professional committed to a life in production agriculture and invites readers to join in the discussion. www.Miniature Hereford.org Winter 2016 7 2016 Miniature Hereford Breeders Association Banquet The Annual MHBA Banquet and Meeting will be held at our Host Hotel, the DoubleTree Hilton, 4040 Quebec Street, Denver, CO on Saturday, January 23, 2016. Social Hour will start at 6:00 PM with dinner served at 7:00 followed by reports and awards. As always we will have a Silent Auction – with a few choice items selected to auction live – to raise funds for the Association. It has been the tradition for members bring auction items to donate, and we again ask you to find that special something that will catch the eye – and bid – for the auction. This year a portion of the Auction proceeds will be used to offset the Banquet costs so we can keep the meal more affordable.

We anticipate sending the 2017 calendar to print as soon as possible, so please reserve days-of-the-month prior to February 15th, 2016 by contacting Cynthia DuVal ([email protected]). Thank you again in advance for your support and dedication to our Mini Hereford youth! Official Publication of the MHBA Greetings All, I want to take a minute to reach out to our membership and let them know what the MHYF is up to these days. I would encourage any member interested in the youth of this breed to get more involved with the Youth Foundation. This can be done many ways, but first and foremost come out to our shows. Show participation is key to improving this breed and moving it forward for the future. If you can’t participate in the show, come out and watch. You can also donate money to the Foundation at any time. As a reminder the Foundation is a 501C3 organization. If you would like to volunteer your time, let me know and we’ll find something for you to help with. We are in the process of forming a committee to work with Pat Underhill to further develop our grant program. We are looking for a couple of volunteers to serve on this committee. If you are interested please email me at [email protected] and I’ll get you on the google group and we can get started. Perhaps one of the most exciting and fastest grow- ing events for our breed will be the 2nd Annual Junior National Show. This year our show will be in Ames, IA on June 22-26, 2016. This year’s theme is Buckles & Banners. We are currently looking for sponsors as well as individuals to make donations. If you can donate to this show, please do so. A monetary donation of any size is welcome. All donations are tax deductible and receipts will be provided. Please make your checks out to the MHYF and mail them to Shelley White. You can also contact Shelley with any questions at shelleymckeeverwhite@ yahoo.com. If you can sponsor the show in another way or know someone who can, please reach out to Shelley as well. It is the goal of our group to continue making improvements and make this show a great experience for all our youth. If you have questions or comments I invite you to email, call or catch me at show. See you in Denver, Daydree The MHYF Board would like to remind all Show Managers/Superintendents to be thinking ahead. If you are planning to request funds from the Miniature Hereford Youth Foundation for your Junior/Pre-Junior show, our guidelines follow below. 1. Show Managers/Superintendent are required to provide a written request at least three months prior to the show (request forms will be available through the MHYF). 2. The maximum amount to be awarded from the Foundation Funds is $500 per show. 3. Donations made to the Foundation that are designated to a specific show will be credited to that show and paid out to the Show Manager or designated person, or used to pay submitted invoices. 4. Shows having designated support will be less likely to need or qualify for Foundation funds. 5. The Miniature Hereford Junior National Expo, our one sponsored show is excluded from the $500 cap. 6.

Champion Bred Cow $6,000 • Pagosa Springs, CO WW Ranch - North • 970-264-1014 LS Oak Princess 0686 “Rosie” was born 6/20/2010. She is from the original Point of Rocks Ranch and is on the smaller side. As her nickname implies, she is a darker mahogany color and is dehorned. She was shown once in Austin and has a sweet temperament, so is halter broke. She has had an odd calving history – the first calf suffocated in the draw where he was born, the second drowned in about 3 inches of water when he was born in an irrigation ditch, and Rosie’s twins died last year because the first one was breach. Fortunately, this year she gave us a little heifer calf we plan to retain in our herd, so Rosie is up for sale. She has been pasture exposed to multiple Grand Champion WW Joyful Jude and would be guaranteed bred. (photos on MiniatureHereford.org) Champion Bred Cow $7,500 • Pagosa Springs, CO WW Ranch - North • 970-264-1014 WW Golden June “June”, born 6/3/2009, was an FFA project, so she is extremely gentle and well halter broke. She won Grand Champion at our local county show and has nice calves . She is massive with good conformation, but her head is a little steery, although not unattractive. She is a meat machine! This year’s baby sold as a bull at a couple of weeks old, the steer from her last year was Grand Champion Steer at the show in Abilene, TX, and her 2013 heifer calf was Reserve Grand Champion Female in Billings MT in 2014. June has been pastured www.Miniature Hereford.org exposed to WW Joyful Jude “JJ”, who was Grand Champion in Amarillo, Abilene & at the State Fair in Dallas this year, and we would guarantee she is bred.

We’ve just recently held the ninth annual Miniature Hereford Show at the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) in Louisville, KY. Numbers were slightly up over previous years and the show was, again, very impressive and laced with good quality cattle. Emily Griffiths of Kendallville, IN sorted our cattle. Miss Griffiths was very complimentary of our cattle throughout the day and I think we had a very competitive and highquality group of cattle representing our breed as always. Congratulations go to the show winners and many thanks to all our exhibitors for supporting this show!! As is always the case, on behalf of Region 3 Breeders, as well as all those participating in and benefiting from the show in Louisville, I want to formally thank the MHBA and it’s governing board for their support of this show. May we all reap the rewards from the type of exposure granted by being a part of a show of this size and quality. Additionally, I wanted to pass along some other exciting news. As many of you know, there has been a Miniature Hereford Show at Ohio Beef Expo in Columbus for a few years now. I’ve been asked to coordinate that show starting in 2016 and begin the process of moving it under the sanctioning of the MHBA. Again, the details are not finalized quite yet, but please do let me know if you would be interested in updates and I’ll be sure and get details to Charlotte to put on the website as they become available. We’ve also begun talks with the Open Beef Show Coordinator for the Indiana State Fair, and it looks like a very good possibility that we’ll be having a probationary show there in August of 2016 as well. Details to follow on that front as well. It’s extremely exciting to see the interest and to be getting these opportunities to further expand the Miniature Hereford reach further, and more broadly to the East. Stay tuned, and thanks again to all our NAILE Exhibitors… the quality of our presentation there is a big part of what draws attention and makes these additional opportunities possible for us. Ben Lisby, Region 3 Director Region 4 Greetings from Region 4. Hope everyone had a nice fall and a Happy Thanksgiving. It sure doesn’t seem like winter is just around the corner. As for what has been going on is our area this fall It started with the shows in Oklahoma,The Oklahoma State Fair in Oklahoma City, a week later the Tulsa State Fair.Then to the American Royal in Kansas City. Then In November we headed down to Louisiana to the State Fair of Louisiana, at Shreveport. This was the first time they have had Minis there and the staff at the fair were great they fed us lunch and then the next evening we were all invited over to the east side of the barn to have a chicken combo dinner.We hope to see this show grow we had lots of people stop and shop for minis. Then we were off to Louisville where Ben had a great show again. Now we can do some work at home have cows to breed and some to calve out before Christmas. Then need to plan for Denver, hope to see you there. Hope you all have a Happy Holiday! Julie Sandstrom, Region 4 Director Region 5 Hello and welcome to our new members, it is exciting to see the continued growth in our breed. Fall showing season was great, the cattle look better than ever and the competition continues to be tough. Congratulations to the winners! We continue to see many new faces and are thankful for the continued excitement around the Miniature Herefords. Please contact me if I can help in anyway. I also want to remind each of you of several opportunities to market your cattle in the next few months. January 23, 2015—NWSS sale, Denver, CO Contact Justin Grady or Charlotte Williams. February 14, 2015—Iowa Beef Expo, Des Moines, IA Contact Brent White or Conover Auction Services. Deadline for consignment is December 18th March—Houston Stock Show, Houston, TX, Dee Braman We are very excited to be the host region for the annual Miniature Hereford Jr. Nationals (MHJN) Buckles & Banners 2016. This event will be held in Ames, Iowa. This is a great opportunity to compete, learn and make new friends. We would love to see you in Iowa in June. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, hope to see many of you in Denver 2016! Brent White, Region 5 Director 38 Miniature Hereford News; Issue #22 Official Publication of the MHBA Region 8 Region 9 Happy New Year everyone! Well, compared to last year, the winter weather certainly is back to normal in many parts of Region 8—freezing fog, ice, and snow. Just a reminder that your cattle care should increase during periods of weather stress, especially with respect to adequate shelter, hay/forage quality and supplementation, mineral access, and respiratory problem prevention/treatment. Make sure to keep a close eye on any winter calving heifers/cows as severe weather stress can trigger early calving. More information on winter weather stress is located in previous issues of our “Moosletter.” Also, we would like to wish everyone safe travels as we make our way to Denver for the 2016 NWSS! Hope to see you all there! The Utah State Fair was a big success. We were happy to have the breeders there from previous years Dan and Nan Taylor, David and Alta Bennett, Bart and Julie Kendell and welcomed Richard Davis as a new participant. We increased our numbers of entries from 13 to 19 just short of the 20, but there is always next year.We added the Jr Show that was a big success, and Pee Wee event so the youngsters could participate on their own, we were even able to talk the larger breeders into letting some of their little ones participate with the Miniatures.A big thank you goes to Dan and Nan Taylor for bringing the Jrs to the fair and taking the time to teach and help these participants learn how to care and show these animals also for the use of their stock in the Pee Wee event and David Bennett for being our Judge in that event. The kids had a blast. A big thank you to all the breeders that participated I think fun was had by all. We have added a few new members to our Region and we welcome them to join us at the fair next year. We really feel that the breed is catching on in our Region and with the addition of the new members the numbers can only go up. We would just like to give the breeders that participated a big Thank you...We couldn’t have done it with out you.
