Smaller-framed Cows
May help contain input costs
By: Sue Roesler, for The Prairie Star, reprinted with permission
C
ows and their calves are different sizes here in Mandan, ND
but ARS research is aiming for a
smaller-framed cow herd.
“Grazing as long as possible in the
Winter and having a smaller-framed cow
herd that eats less are some of the ways
that may help keep input costs low and
ranches profitable,” says Dr. Scott Kronberg, an ARS research range scientist
with an animal focus. “A lot of us think
it will cost more to feed cattle in the future,” Kronberg said as he explained that
oil has a trickle down effect and other
prices tend to be tied in with oil. “As oil
prices rise, other costs such as fertilizer
and fuel to run farm equipment, also
rises. When it comes to a choice between
driving their cars or paying high prices
for beef, consumers are more likely to
buy cheaper cuts of beef and continue
to drive,” Kronberg said. For some, beef
may even be a luxury if it is unaffordable.
So for producers to stay profitable
in the future, they have to be able to
break-even and continue to have an efficient operation when cattle prices are
low. “Then they can be really profitable
when prices are high,” he said.
Kronberg was one of several speakers on the crop tour at the USDA-ARS
Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory’s annual Friends and Neighbors
Day in Mandan, ND. “There are a lot of
ways to cut the cost of livestock production and still be productive,” Kronberg
said. “We’re looking at grazing more and
feeding less. If I could graze all year I
would,” he said.
Kronberg said even in heavy snow,
cows will eat the grass sticking up
through the snow. They grew Altai wild
rye, which grows very tall, and allowed
the cow herd to graze well into January.
If the snow is just too high, they can
supplement when needed. He said he
is just building a smaller-framed cow
herd to base his research on, and wants
cows to be smaller
and thicker, in
the 1,100 pound
range producing
calves who are 500
to 600 pounds by
the end of October.
“It might seem
a little different to
raise smaller cows.
It is probably not
what your neighbors are doing.
But these smallerframed cows are
really efficient and
live a long time,”
Kronberg said. In
addition, he wants

ter in the Winter and need a higherquality feed for good nutrition.
“A lot of producers really don’t know
how much their cows weigh because they
don’t weigh them,” he said. Instead, an
average of the cattle is usually obtained
when cattle are weighed in bulks of about
10 at a feedlot. He challenged the crowd
to guess the weight of three Angus cows
who gathered in front of an electric fence
with their Spring calves. “There really
isn’t a cow here who is one I’m looking
for yet,” he said.
Cow #1 was the largest of the three and
weighed 1,483. “She is a pretty common
size for cattle in many regions up here,”
Kronberg said. Last year, the cow weaned
a heifer calf that was 472 lbs. on April
20. This year, her calf was 76 lbs. at birth.
Cow #2 was 1,280 lbs. and weaned a
bull calf that was 520 lbs. in October.
This year, she gave birth to a 86-pound
calf on May 12. Cow #3 weighed 1,005.
The calf size was not given.
While Kronberg does not know for
sure that smaller-framed cows will eat
less and still be efficient, his research is
focusing on that. “If you have a cow that
has to be culled in year eight because of
no calf, that is not efficient to your cattle
production because it costs a lot to bring
her into the herd,” he said.
Range scientists in Miles City, MT
have devised a new method of determining exactly how much forage grazing
calves are consuming. It does not involve
inserting a cannula into the calf. “We
can’t look at production efficiencies until we know what goes into the feeding
expense everyday,” he said.
Winter feeding is usually the most expensive feed for producers if cattle are
kept in a feedlot or in the yard. In addition, if cows are in their third trimester,
feeding a lot of hay is expensive. Smaller
cows that calve in late Spring or Summer
would not run into that problem. “If we
can graze well into the Winter, the costs
go way down,” he said.
Vern Anderson, livestock specialist at
Carrington, ND Research Extension
Center, asked how land prices fit into
the schematic. Kronberg agreed that if
a producer owns his own land, costs can
be contained better.

MHBA Animal Health Series
Billy Bryan
BANG’s Disease - Brucella abortus
By: Donna Bryan
By: Peggy Joseph-Potter RN, BSN, MHA
B
ang’s disease or Brucellosis is caused
by the organism brucella abortus
and is spread from the vaginal discharge of an infected cow or from an
aborted fetus. Brucellosis or “contagious
abortion” causes abortion and premature births in cattle usually between the
fifth and eight month of gestation. The
infection is concentrated in the reproductive organs of the animal where it
localizes in the uterus, udder and placenta of the female and testicles of the
male. The disease can cause “undulant
fever” in humans through the intake of
infected milk. While the occurrence has
been drastically reduced in modern times
due to aggressive vaccination programs,
failure to meet the window of opportunity can have devastating consequences
for an uniformed or unsuspecting buyer.
Bangs vaccinations are required by most
states but not all as most are able to maintain the status designated as “Brucellosis
Free.” Although state and federal regulations have helped to control the disease,
there is still a threat.
Humans can become infected with the bacteria by either eating or drinking something
contaminated with Brucella, breathing in the
organism or having the organism enter through
a skin wound. While ingestion is the most
common source of the contamination, hunters and butchers may be infected through skin
wounds or by accidental ingestion of the bacteria after cleaning deer, elk, moose, or wild pigs.
Encounters with infected herds of wild game
remain the primary reason for continuation of
a regulated vaccination program.
States having the vaccination requirement
also have established timeframes for delivery.
Most include the California mandate that the
vaccination be provided to females between the
ages of 4-12 months. This vaccination must be
given by a licensed veterinarian and appropriate documentation including a numbered ear
tattoo is required.
Symptoms and Transmission:
• Abortions, retained placenta, weak calves
and infertility frequently occurs
• Milk produced by an infected cow may also
be contaminated with the organism
• The organism is usually transmitted orally
but can penetrate unbroken skin or drainage
from an infected eye
• Breeding bulls which are infected can trans8 ~ Miniature Hereford News: Issue #7
mit the disease to cows at the time of service
by infected semen
Recovery, Testing and Infected Animals:
• There is no treatment for Brucellosis
• Diagnosis is made by a blood test of the
dam and examination of the fetus
• Some degree of immunity exists, as animals
that abort can conceive again and carry the
fetus to term, although the disease remains in
a latent form and the infected animal remains
a source of infection for others
• Infected animals are slaughtered, infected
herds quarantined, and carrier animals identified and traced back to their place of origin
• Buy replacement animals only from a clean
herd, have aborted fetuses checked.
As there is no treatment for Brucellosis, the
main source of prevention is accomplished by
official calfhood vaccinations of heifer calves.
An accredited veterinarian must provide these
vaccinations at calf ages of two to four months
with standard dosage vaccine, or from four to
twelve months using reduced dosage vaccine.
Each calf must be identified by an official vaccination in compliance with state and federal
regulations. Quarantines are imposed on infected herds by state and federal authorities until
the herd has been proven free of the disease.
When it comes to the Bang’s vaccination, it is
Breeder and Buyer beware. Never buy a heifer
without an appropriate state regulated vaccination, documentation and accompanying ear
tag. Breeders should never sell a female without
providing proof of Bang’s vaccination. In our
state, females over the age of 12 months can
never be vaccinated; therefore, they can never
be exposed to other animals through shows or
sales. Animals vaccinated after this age usually
test positive thus requiring the whole herd to be
quarantined; therefore be a responsible breeder
and vaccinate your animals prior to their first
birthday.

n July 26 after
a courageous
battle with
pulmonary fibrosis.
Bill Bryan passed away.
He had only a few more
tests to complete and
hopefully he would have
been on the transplant list in September. God
seemed to know best.
He really missed not being able to go to
the shows the last couple years. I remember
the first time Bill asked me if I would like to
take a little trip to Nebraska to look at some
little cows. Well, I was always up for a trip
but I was a town girl so how little were these
cows. We went to KP Ranch and we met the
6 cattle they had picked for us. It was instant
love. We wanted to take them with us that day.
Bill was so happy on the flight home because
it had been 25 years since he had lived on a
farm. Everyone in our town (and neighboring
towns) knew the minis were coming. He built
a barn …put up fences. Laid water and electric
lines. We were ready. Little did we know at
that point of the impact the cows would have
on us. As much as he enjoyed the cattle he
enjoyed meeting all the members of MHBA.
Bill was a people person and he loved his cattle
so this was the perfect relationship.
While it was my idea to buy King Henry
Hunter at the sale, he became Bill’s greatest joy.
The AP press came to the farm to do an
informal interview that ran in at least 2000
papers nationwide.. I remember the day that
Bill had a call from Brazil. A gentleman had
seen the article and wanted a job as our herdsman. Of course, he did not get the job but
by the end of the call he sure knew all that he
needed to know about mini Herefords. We
received calls from all over the country and
Bill enjoyed talking with each and everyone.
Bill loved the mini Hereford breed and I
think through his friendly personality he did
a great job in promoting them.
For those of you who did not get to meet
Bill let me share just a little about him.
Bill had the biggest heart and always had
a story to share. He was what we would call
a redneck cowboy want to be. He loved his
many cowboy boots and hats. Any family
member, friend or employee with a problem
came to Bill. He loved life and he lived it to
the fullest in his 60 short years. To say that I
will miss him is an understatement. He filled
my life with joy for 40 years.

John Johnson Memorial Scholarship
By: Cynthia DuVal
J
ohn Johnson, co-owner of Straitside
Ranch in Sequim, Washington, was
a keystone breeder of Miniature Herefords and developed the first bloodline
of Polled Miniature Herefords. John was
a man who dedicated his time to promoting Miniature Herefords throughout the
United States as well as encouraging youth
to become involved with this special breed.
To commemorate his contribution to the
Miniature Hereford breed, Jerry, Cynthia,
and Alyssa DuVal of DuVal Farms, Silverton,
Oregon, in conjunction with the Miniature
Hereford Youth Foundation are developing
the “John Johnson Memorial Scholarship.”
To form the basis of this scholarship fund,
DuVal Farms is donating the Oregon State
Fair Grand Champion Miniature Hereford
Female—DF Aurora Borealis—to be auctioned off during the 2011 World Miniature Hereford Sale at the National Western
Stock Show. Eric and Erin Eldridge, as well
as Bill Hartnell, of LE&J Cattle Service, Redmond, Oregon, have donated their Fitting
and Showing Services and agreed to continue
exhibiting DF Aurora Borealis at the 2010
Northern International Livestock Exposition
(NILE – Billings, MT), the 2010 Cow Palace
(San Francisco, CA), and the 2011 National
Western Stock Show (Denver, CO). Come
and see the first national Miniature Hereford
Scholarship Fund Heifer at these shows!
This fund will assist graduating high school
seniors involved with Miniature Herefords
in pursuing higher education at technical
schools, community colleges, and four-year
universities. The
scholarship recipient
should demonstrate
not only leadership,
personal growth, and
a desire for attaining
a higher education,
but also express immense passion for
Miniature Herefords
through continually promoting our
breed. Applications
will be available in
November 2010 on
the MHBA Website;
applications must be mailed to the Miniature Hereford Youth Foundation Scholarship
Chairperson and be postmarked by January
1, 2011. The 2011 Scholarship Award Recipient will be announced during the annual
banquet at the National Western Stock Show.
Additional information regarding the application process and applicant requirements
will be posted on the MHBA Website. Good
luck to all applicants!

arketing and selling Miniature Herefords is no different than selling any
other product. You must define your
product, know your prospective buyers, and
develop the tools necessary to inform them of
your product.
In my opinion the miniature cattle industry
is a niche industry within an industry, which
requires some level of educating prospective
buyers. Many of your potential buyers will be
new to the cattle industry and have limited
knowledge of cattle. So it may help to offer
assistance after the sale.
How do people know you have cattle for
sale? Most folks driving by your property will
not realize that you have some for sale. You
need to have some or all of the following tools
in place to assist you in informing the public
that you have cattle for sale: 1) sign in front
of property 2) advertisement in magazines or
other publications 3)internet web sites 4) stock
shows 5) word of mouth.
It does not matter if you are selling show
cattle, seedstock, or beef cattle. You must know
your product and choose your market. Inform
people about your product. They cannot buy
10 ~ Miniature Hereford News: Issue #7
from you if they do not know you exist. In my
opinion the best advertisement you can ever
get is word of mouth.
A sign in front of your property so people
who drive by will know you raise Miniature
Herefords can be a good way of advertising
your cattle. A sign on your trailer is like a traveling billboard.
Magazines and printed publications can be
great for advertising your cattle. There are lots
of magazines, so you should make sure the
magazine or periodical of your choice is targeting the demographic that will be most likely
to purchase cattle.
Livestock shows are a great way to market
your premier show stock. Buyers, enthusiasts,
and fellow breeders will be there to view cattle
and select new breeding stock.
What about livestock auctions? Your standard livestock auction may not be the best
place to sell Miniature Herefords. Registered
cattle auctions or specialty auctions may work
out okay for you. Remember, you have a specialty product and you are in a niche market.
You have a premium product and you need to
market it as such.
R
ain, floods and heat will not keep the
breeders of our wonderful Miniature
herefords away. This is Bev Strong,
Region 5 Director saying “hello” and I hope
everyone had fun at Iowa. We had a couple
of cancellations due to the floods, so keep
CT Miniature Herefords in your prayers.
We had 16 breeders and 82 head of cattle at
the show. Every year the quality gets better.
I would have hated to be the judge.
We had a pasta supper on Thursday and
most everyone attended. The celebrity
class had all new companies represented.
Our only repeat was Sophia from the Des
Moines Register. She sported new cowboy
boots instead of flip flops this year. The
excitement of our Miniature Herefords is
growing in the Midwest. We have gone from
8 breeders to 36 and are growing everyday.
We welcome the new families that showed
and also members who came in just to enjoy. I would like to thank everyone who
attended and all who helped make the show
go smoothly. So I must sign off and dream
up a new class for our show. The stands
were full and that’s what a show is all about.

Bulls Eye: A Winning Calf
By: Connie
D
anielle Riley from Cedar, Kansas
received Reserve Champion in her
class at the 2010 Smith County
Fair with an Angus/Mini Hereford cross
steer.
Bulls Eye was born on 3/17/09. His
momma was a big black Angus cow that
calved late the year before. We used Hugo, a Miniature Hereford bull, on
all of our late calvers and for clean-up at the end of the breeding season,
so we had about half a dozen Angus/Mini Hereford crosses. Bulls Eye has
a crazy freeze brand looking mark on his left front shoulder that Dani
wished would have been on his “show side.” He was an average size calf
when he was born and was pretty square and boxy looking from day 1.
The girls immediately took a liking to him.
At weigh-in on July 16, 2010 he weighed 1188 pounds and was the
lightest calf in his class, but was definitely the most finished. Hugo’s mini
features really popped in Bulls Eye in the last 60 days, from his nice wide
frame to his full brisket. The combination of that and his momma’s tall
and long lines were perfect to receive Reserve Champion in his class. We
fed him Honor Show Chow from Pro Ag in Kensington, Kansas. Bulls
Eye sold for the maximum price at the premium auction, $1,042.00 over
market price.
This is Danielle’s 4th year in 4-H and 4th year in the beef project. She
already has a mini Hereford/Angus cross calf picked out for next year. Dani
and little sister Matti both like the same calf, so hopefully there will be a
couple Angus/Mini Hereford cross calves at next year’s Smith County Fair.

Best in the West: Another Great Year
By Region 8 Roving Reporter
C
elebrating its eleventh consecutive show, the Oregon State
Fair Miniature Hereford Show is truly “The Best In The
West.” With over 50 head of Minis registered for the OSF,
the 2010 show proved to be a tremendous success. The show coordinators and participants expressed their immense appreciation
for those breeders who continue to support the OSF as well as the
newcomers from Oregon, California, Montana, and Colorado.
Exhibitors moved their cattle into the 150-acre Oregon State
Fairgrounds on Monday afternoon, and conducted weights and
measures on Tuesday. Breeders were greeted each morning with
the aroma of fresh donuts, orange juice, and Starbucks coffee—
sponsored by DuVal Farms, PJ Ranch, and Sweet Sippin’ Acres.
Wednesday’s show began at 3:00 pm, where first in class winners
received 50-pound bags of grain along with a blue water bucket;
division champions and reserves were awarded leather show
halters fitted with engraved nameplates; specialty classes (Cow/
Calf, Pairs, Best 4 Head, etc.) received award platters or trophies.
Grand Champion and Reserve Grand females and bulls were
presented with belt buckles sponsored by Dr. Brian Dietrich,
DVM, owner of Abiqua Animal Clinic, Bob and Peggy Potter
of PJ Ranch, and Jerry and Cynthia DuVal of DuVal Farms.
Directly following the Open Miniature Hereford Show, the
third annual Jr. Showmanship competition occurred; this year
fifteen contestants ranging from ages 2 to 17 vied for four division champion belt buckles (Peewee, Junior, Intermediate, and
Senior). Each participant received a trophy and goodie bag filled
www.MiniatureHerefordNews.com
with livestock shampoo, show cattle probiotics, and more. Winners of the belt buckles are: Peewee Division (Sponsored by James
Allen Farms, Markum, OR) – Abby Eldridge, Redmond, OR;
Junior Division (Sponsored by Potter’s Auto Specialties, Silverton,
OR) – Emma Eldridge, Redmond, OR; Intermediate Division
(Sponsored by Sweet Sippin’ Acres, Whitmore, CA) – Kylee
Williams, Sequim, WA; Senior Division (Sponsored by Sweet
Sippin’ Acres, Whitmore, CA) – Kelsey Potter, Silverton, OR.
As a special remembrance for John Johnson, owner of Straitside
Ranch, Betty Johnson sponsored the creation of the “Oregon
State Fair Overall Grand Champion Junior Showman” traveling
plaque, which will be awarded annually to the overall champion
Junior Showman. The first award recipient is Kelsey Potter, from
Silverton, Oregon, who purchased her first Miniature Herefords
in 2009 with her family, owners of Silver Peaks Farm.
To round out Show Day, exhibitors were invited to a special
dinner at McGrath’s Fishhouse to celebrate a terrific show for
all. The “End Of The Trail” Luncheon took place Thursday at
“High noon,” prior to cattle move-out and was sponsored by
DuVal Farms. This was a time for breeders to share stories, laugh
at jokes, and say farewell. Additionally, raffle drawing results
were announced during the luncheon for over a dozen donated
baskets, proceeds of which contribute to the Junior Showmanship competition. Overall, the 2010 Oregon State Fair Miniature
Hereford Show was a terrific, family-fun experience that continues
to be “Best In The West.”
