President’s Perspective
Hello MHBA Members
& Welcome
New Members!
With the events of 2015 now
in the record books I expect the
growth and progress to roll right
into 2016. Entries at every show
continue to be on the rise and the
sale prices have set an all time
high. Congratulations to all of our breeders for making this
possible.
I hope everyone has submitted their entries and plan to attend the 17th Annual Miniature Hereford World Show at the
National Western. Please note the changes in the schedule as
the open show is at 8:00 am on Friday, January 22 and the
junior show will be held at 8:00 am on Saturday, January 23
with the sale to follow that afternoon at 2:00 pm. Don’t miss
this one as the consignment list is shaping up to be the
most elite line up ever—if for some reason you can’t be
present you can join us at liveauctionstv.com.
To all the juniors make sure to remind your parents and
make plans to attend the Junior Nationals in Iowa this summer. More information will be provided as it becomes available—please check the MHBA website.
It’s not too late to order your 2016 calendars from the
Miniature Hereford Youth Foundation. These calendars are a
great way to support the scholarship programs for our junior

Marketing
Cull Cows
by Glenn Selk, Oklahoma State University Emeritus Extension animal scientist
Some culling of beef cows occurs in most herds every
year. 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.

4 tips for managing
Cold Stress
in cattle this winter
Reprint courtesy of Amanda Radke in BEEF Daily
In my neck of the woods, we enjoyed warmer-than-average temperatures in December and through the holiday
season. 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?

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 Miniature Hereford youth Foundation was established to promote youth involvement in the breeding,
management, showing, and marketing of Miniature Hereford Cattle through developing leadership skills,
and educational programs, encouraging personal growth, as well as providing a pathway towards attaining
grants to continue to promote Miniature Herford breeding programs and awarding scholarships.
Director of Scholarships Report
We still have 2016 calendars available for sale, so
PLEASE help support the MHYF scholarship fund. Currently, the sale of these calendars is the primary endeavor
to generate funds used to provide scholarships to Mini
Hereford youth pursuing higher education. The Scholarship committee would like to increase the quantity
of scholarships awarded annually to meet the growing
number of students enrolling in colleges, universities, and
technical/trade schools….but we NEED YOUR HELP!!!
If you have already purchased a 2016 calendar, you
10 Miniature Hereford News; Issue #22
can still support our youth by placing early orders for the
2017 calendars or even purchase a monthly page and/
or days-of-the-month. 100% of the net proceeds received
from the sale of advertising space and calendar sales go
directly to the scholarship fund. 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. Funds approved will be paid out upon presentation of invoices for expenses for the show.
If you have any questions regarding the MHYF Grants for Junior/Pre-Junior shows,
please contact one of our Board members. Thank you!

Shadow Mountain Cattle worked with a local 4-H Class
in their area, adding new junior members to MHBA and a
Show Team of 8 Students to the State Fair: Lacy Larson,
Wytney Larson, Grayden Larson, Tyrell Russell, McKenzie

cute.

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.

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.

Region Reports
Region 3
Hello from the Midwest….
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.

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!

the continued excitement around the Miniature Herefords.

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.
