Byron Bayers (continued on page 22) Jill Hotchkiss It seems like we are headlong into sales already and it’s only November! There are getting to be quite a few sales in October and November now. Marc and I did a lot of traveling again this month and several of our trips were hampered by bad weather. The big blizzard that hit Colorado really slowed some people down including us. But in true Colorado fashion a lot of the snow melted, at least on the Front Range, within a day or two. We decided to do something a little different this year and made the trek to Ohio for several sales including the Mohican Polled Herefords sale. We also attended the Stockdale-Grandview sale the same day and the Sunnyside-Detweiler sale the following day.

Hereford Breeders, Industry Contributors Recognized by AHA with Hall of Fame, Merit Honors Bob Schafer and Upstream Ranch were inducted into the Hereford Hall of Fame on Oct. 23 at the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting. The Hall of Fame honor recognizes Hereford breeders who’ve dynamically influenced the direction and advancement of the Hereford breed. Also honored were Hereford Hall of Merit inductees, the late Guy Shull and Michael “Mike” MacNeil. Hall of Merit recipients aren’t necessarily Hereford breeders, but have in their own ways greatly influenced the Hereford breed and cattle industry.

I traveled the 700 miles with Paul Hinderager of Anchor Polled Herefords at Vaughn, MT. The weather was pretty nice for November when we left Montana but as we drove farther north things began to change. It became darker to the north and as we hit Calgary the roads became slippery and the farther north we traveled the heavier the snow came down, making the driving more challenging.

December 2006 HEREFORD AMERICA • 3 2007 Junior National Hereford Expo Update Plans for the 2007 NJHE to be held in Denver, Colorado July 7-14 at the National Western Stock Show grounds are well under way. The event is being sponsored by the Western States of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The theme of the event is A HEREFORD CELEBRATION and it is projected that 1500 head of cattle will be entered in the show. There are several fund raising flush donations from outstanding females in our breed that Hereford Breeders will want to be aware of. Being sold in the Nugget Sale in Reno, Nevada on December 2nd is a flush of C 212 MS DOM 4013 ET, compliments of Colyer Herefords, Bruneau, Idaho and Ernst Herefords, Windsor, Colorado. All four flush mate brothers are serving in registered herds including C Hidalgo ET who sold to Hidalgo Herefords, Plano, Texas for $26,500 and “Ben” the $26,000 herd bull for W4 Ranches, Morgan, Texas. The flush mate sisters are equally impressive with 4004 selling for $8,000 to Terrell Herefords, Sherman, Texas and two more females are retained in the Colyer herd. 4013’s pedigree combines some of the breed’s top performers with sires such as the $54,000 212M, 9126J, Pure Gold and Achiever and proven cows such as the $25,000 8104 and Colyer’s most efficient cow 6047. 4013’s dam C MS Pure Gold 2003 is now a lead donor cow for Hoffman Herefords, McArthur, California. Also being sold during the National Hereford Sale donated by Brumley Farms, Orovada, Nevada are four embryos out of the 2005 National Champion Hereford female, H Truly Yours 361 and sired by the very popular /S Mister Mom 7745.

All the Registered Polled Herefords have been shipped off to new homes in MN, SD and ND. The entire cow herd, all the calves and all the herd bulls were included in the final sale of this herd. The new owners of this highly coveted herd of producing females are as follows: SCHMIDT HEREFORDS, Pipestone, MN; SPRINGWATER POLLED HEREFORDS, Garretson, SD and Pipestone, MN; COLIN HOFFMAN HEREFORDS, Leola, SD; and PERMAN & FRIENDS HEREFORDS, Streeter, ND. Art Handel, Lillah and Ray Johnson Ra y & Lillah JJohnson ohnson Ray 3626 310 St. Lak onson, MN Lakee Br Bronson, 56734 (218) 762-1411 Included in the transaction were 207 head of cattle including the bred heifers, all bred cows, the entire 2006 calf crop and five herd bulls. There was one exception, as ONE BRED HEIFER has been CONSIGNED to the 2006 GOPHER SALE, which will be held December 9, 2006, in Hutchinson, MN.The other females were dispersed by age groups. Ray has been on the home farm since 1937, moving there with his folks when he was just a young lad. Ray and Lillah married in 1953 and have lived there ever since. Ray and Lillah spent 53 years on the farm, raising a family and their Registered Hereford cattle. Living in the extreme northwest corner of Minnesota, they needed hardy, tough cattle to survive the winters and produce a live calf the following spring, thus their choice was for Hereford cattle. They will tell you that the Herefords have paid their way over the many years. Ray has always had the foresight to raise sturdy, growthy, productive breeding stock. Over the years a good many young herd bull candidates were purchased from breeders in nearby Canada as well as from notable USA breeders.The infusion of those growth genetics has been a telling force in the popularity of this herd. In the year 2001, Ray and Lillah sold 75 bred cows to Gerald and Colin Hoffman of Hoffman Herefords, Leola, SD for the express purpose of starting the Polled segment of Hoffman’s registered herd.Those cows have made a major contribution to the popularity of the Hoffman’s Polled Hereford program. The Hoffman’s success has sparked the interest of their fellow Hereford breeders to want to be a part in this final dispersal of a great cow herd. All who know the Johnsons extend their thanks for raising top notch seedstock and wish them the very best as they slow down a little and now will have more time to spend with the grandkids and their families. The dispersal of this herd was handled by Art Handel, Handel Marketing, Rapid City, SD.

(continued from page 4) appreciate the fact that the ABHA folks do recognize some of the attributes of our breed and that they in their own way are spreading Hereford influence to some extent, I feel their timing is poor as it affects the real Hereford and their mission is somewhat misguided. By way of explanation: The AHA rightly refused to allow them into the fold. It is impossible for them to be truly purebred Herefords with parentage traceable as such. They became black with the infusion of other breeds. For years we have been attempting to cause others to recognize that there is nothing superior about a black hide! At this time Herefords are on such an upswing as I have not seen in my nearly 33 years. It is not totally countrywide but getting close. Just as the red hide is making its great comeback their message is at odds with this renewed popularity of Hereford genetics. I feel the ad is also misleading because red baldies have perennially done well (and I like them), straight Hereford genetics ruled the range at least through the sixties. I do not intend to bash the ABHA; they are part of the proof that Hereford genetics are increasingly in demand. However, the gene pool is very small and they simply can not offer the broad selection that the real Hereford does. Nor can they offer the choice of generations of linebreeding which is one of the most powerful tools for producing consistent, peas-in-a-pod calf crops. The real Hereford has been scientifically proven to offer more heterosis than any other breed can in a crossbreeding program. The black baldies known as black Herefords have this heterosis compromised by the infusion of the genetics December 2006 from other breeds. For instance, if the black hide was achieved using Angus genetics, there is going to be less hybrid vigor if you put a black baldie bull on an Angus cow herd. Thomas Green Oklahoma Editor’s note: Thomas, you raise some very good points about the strengths of the Hereford breed. I’m glad to see this kind of response. We as breeders need to promote these aspects more. (See more comments following next letter.) — Jill *** I was disappointed to see a full page ad in your paper for another breed, especially one whose only claim is that black is better, a myth we’ve been trying to debunk for years. No, I’m not going to cancel my subscription and burn my back issues but I think it was a poor decision since the AHA has been developing ads promoting Hereford bulls as the answer for crossing on black cows. My opinion, Les Krogstad, MN Editor’s Note to both Les and Thomas: Thank you for your notes regarding the Black Hereford ad. We value reader input and we also value our advertisers. First of all let me assure you my blood runs red and white and always will! I knew the ad would draw fire and I made the decision to let the ad run. Marc and Dad concurred with the decision. We have run all Angus ads, combination Angus-Hereford and combination Red Angus-Hereford ads in the past and even one ad last spring that promoted Horned over Polled. We did, however, draw the line with the miniature Herefords. Sorry guys. Just because the ads were published doesn’t mean we agree with their message. We state this in every issue on page 2. Keep in mind ours is an independent, family-owned publication. We stay in business from advertising and subscription revenue. That’s pretty much it. With that said, our publication certainly will not be taken over by advertising from other breeds. We don’t mind running the occasional ad with other breeds in it and that’s what this was. We felt that since their breed requires animals to be at least 62.5% Hereford it would fit, although I personally didn’t really care for their headline. Yes, I know it touches a nerve with some people. Please don’t just dwell on this one ad. Look past it and see what positive things we are actively doing for the Hereford breed and have been doing for the last 10 years, including encouraging commercial producers to use Hereford bulls on black cows. Again, thanks for your remarks. We continue to promote an open forum for opinions. — Jill *** Byron Bayers, Editor: I was amused to read your concern about the AHA indifference to the Montana Hereford tour. In October each year we display 3 or 4 herd bulls at an ag expo in southwest Missouri. In 2005, one of our visitors said he was so surprised by the size and quality of our Hereford bulls that he was going to go home and visit with his son about replacing some of their black bulls with our Hereford bulls. I didn’t hear from him and forgot about it until this year’s show when the same man came by. He said he lost my card but called the AHA last spring to get my phone number. He said he told them he was looking for a veterinarian in the Warrensburg/ Leeton area with Canadian bred Horned Hereford cattle. Unfortunately, the AHA informed him there were no Horned Hereford breeders in that area, and sent him to a couple of breeders in Kansas where he bought 3 bulls. While I am happy for the Kansas breeders, the incompetence of the AHA office doesn’t sit well, especially since my family has been breeding Horned Hereford cattle since 1910 and been doing it in this area (65 miles from AHA Headquarters) since 1966. Byron, I don’t believe you need to be concerned about discrimination by AHA staff against Montana breeders, I feel it is just incompetence and leadership failure by AHA senior staff. I think they are too busy trying to turn our Herefords into a support breed for Angus to be bothered with us Hereford breeders. Imagine my surprise when my neighbor called at noon last Friday to tell me Jack Ward had just left after coming by for a herd visit. It might surprise you also if you knew my neighbor is an Angus breeder. That night as I read Craig Huffhines article about devotion to Herefords, I had to wonder who is devoted to what. Tim Bernt, DVM Leeton, MO *** South Dakota Hereford Association: Thank you for the 2006 Seedstock Producer of the Year Award. It was truly an honor to receive and thanks to Marc and Jill for nominating us and the committee for voting for us. Even though I lack the ability to give an acceptance speech it was truly appreciated.

NE Power, MT 59468 (406) 467-2818 Byron Bayers (406) 684-5465 20 • HEREFORD AMERICA December 2006 AHA Hall of Fame, Merit Honors (continued from page 1) Bob Schafer Bob Schafer, Mahnomen, Minn., got his start in the Hereford business at a young age on the farm owned and operated by his mother, uncle and grandparents at Buffalo Lake, Minn. Little did folks know the influence Bob would later have on the breed. After graduating from the University of Minnesota with a degree in animal husbandry and working for the agricultural Extension service, Bob became manager of Schermerhorn Farms of Mahnomen, Minn., in 1956. Under his management, the operation became a cooperator in the AHA’s dwarfism research, and in 1963, was one of the first to enroll in the new Total Performance Records (TPR) program. “Nearly 15,000 head would be performance tested over the next 40 years and 1,500 head would have ultrasound carcass data collected,” says Beth Carlson, Minnesota Hereford Breeders president. In 1965, John Oxley purchased Schermerhorn Farms and combined it with his Oklahoma-based Hereford ranch. Extensive use of artificial insemination ensued. The Oklahoma herd was dispersed in 1976, and the rest of the herd in 2003. Bob served as manager of Oxley Hereford Ranch for 48 years. Beth says he was most astute at purchasing herd bulls, as well as semen from top sires. The effect of Bob’s careful genetic selection, she explains, is that the OXH prefix is found in many of the breed’s most influential cattle. The list of famed OXH sires is long, and the OXH females are reputed for structural soundness, heavy milk, moderate birth weight, growth and muscle — generally problem-free cows. Oxley cattle were sold throughout the U.S., as well as in Canada and Australia. Semen made its way to Canada, Australia, Europe, Africa and South America. Oxley cattle were also exhibited various times at regional shows, state fairs and the National Western Stock Show (NWSS). Carloads of bulls were shown for several years at the NWSS. Bob’s contributions to the breed didn’t stop at Oxley. “Bob has spent his entire life contributing to the respect and growth of the breed through his involvement in local, state and national organizations, including both industry and breed organizations,” says Mark Frederickson, Frederickson Hereford Farm, Starbuck, Minn. Among his contributions were many years served as president of the Minnesota Hereford Association and on the Red River Valley Winter Show committee. He also represented northwest Minnesota on the Minnesota Beef Council for nine years. During this time Beth notes that he was a driving force behind the development of a hamburger and wild rice beef patty that grew to be very popular. Oxley Hereford Ranch served as a place of education and entertainment to young and old alike through the many field days, tours, judging team practices and informational seminars held on the ranch over the years. As a respected breeder, Bob was often asked to judge state and county fairs, as well as Register of Merit shows. “Bob Schafer is an individual whose enthusiasm and dedication to the Hereford breed is undisputed by anyone who knows him,” Mark says. Bob, too, is a family man. He and Carol, his wife of 54 years, raised five children and now enjoy 12 grandchildren and four great- grandchildren. Upstream Ranch Alfred Meeks and Sons originated in 1937 in Dalhart, Texas, when Alfred Meeks bought some heifers from his father, JD Meeks. In 1955 Alfred and his wife, Mildred, and their son and daughter-in-law, Ferrall and Gloria, purchased Upstream Ranch near Taylor in the Sandhills of Nebraska. Today the ranch is managed by Alfred’s grandson, Brent, and his wife, Robin, and owned with Mildred, who still lives on the ranch. Brent and Robin have two children — Marshall and Carlee. Alfred succumbed to cancer in 1991 and Ferrall and Gloria were killed in a car accident in 1994. The Upstream herd includes 600 registered cows. About 500 cows and heifers are AIbred annually and about 50 embryos transferred. Upstream Ranch hosted its first production sale at the ranch in 1978, which has continued annually on the first Saturday of February. The ranch’s main focus is the production of bulls for commercial cattlemen. “Alfred and Mildred laid a solid foundation for one of the best ranches in the nation,” say Ronny and Kay Morgan, Morgan Ranch Inc., Burwell, Neb. “Alfred knew his customers and knew how to market his cattle to them. Everyone was a friend to Alfred and Mildred and they returned that friendship. Ferrall and Gloria, the second generation, were no different. They worked hard at producing top Herefords and staying up with the trends of the industry. They are greatly missed, not only in the community, but throughout the Hereford families across the U.S. Brent and Robin had to step into the management role at the untimely death of Ferrall and Gloria, and have risen to the challenge. They have continued the highquality cattle at Upstream Ranch and have shown successes in marketing their cattle that are second to no one.” Genetically, Upstream Ranch is trying to produce cattle with balanced-trait selection. They are constantly striving for the proper balance of calving ease, growth, maternal, fertility and carcass traits. They are advocates of using expected progeny differences (EPDs) and ultrasound, but also make sure their cattle excel phenotypically and in temperament. Structural soundness and docility are critical. In 2006 Upstream ranked third in number of Dams of Distinction, an honor bestowed on outstanding Hereford females. The family has exhibited four champion carloads at the NWSS, the 1971 NWSS champion Hereford bull, the 1972 reserve champion Hereford bull, and supreme Hereford and champion Hereford bull at the 100th NWSS in 2006, as well as the reserve champion horned Hereford bull. Guy Shull The late Guy Shull graduated from Oklahoma A&M College in 1949 and began his career in the purebred livestock industry as a fieldman for the Oklahoma FarmerStockman. He also operated Shull Hereford Farm, a family enterprise in Elgin, Okla. “He incorporated the top genetics into his breeding program and strived to raise cattle that fit the livestock industry, avoiding extremes, while concentrating on birth weight, fertility, udder quality, fleshing ability and disposition,” says Warren Sidwell, president of the Oklahoma Hereford Association. “He was practicing 40-plus years ago what we as an industry are focusing on today.” Guy held several successful production sales and promoted his cattle at state and national Hereford shows. Among the highlights was exhibiting several class winners at the NWSS. He not only promoted his Herefords, but others as well, serving as secretary-fieldman for the Oklahoma Hereford Association for 27 years. Through his leadership and marketing efforts Oklahoma Herefords became recognized as a seedstock source on the national level, and Oklahoma breeders during his tenure exhibited several national champion bulls and females. Guy also continuously demonstrated his support for Hereford youth. For the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association (OCA), he served as a committee chairman and helped to organize and conduct the annual OCA summer ranch tours. After his purebred dispersion in the late ’60s, Guy continued to run a commercial operation until his retirement. Later in his career, Guy diversified and became a purebred livestock auctioneer. Colleague A.J. Smith of the Oklahoma Cowman tells that Guy had a “seventh sense,” knowing exactly what a bidder was willing to pay for an animal. He utilized this sense while crying sales from the early 1960s to the mid-’80s. “Guy not only strived to breed and market the right kind of Hereford cattle that would positively impact the Hereford breed, but constantly promoted these values to anyone who would listen,” Warren says. Long before the merger of the horned and Jill’s Editorial... (continued from page 1) I guarantee you, there are a lot more lines on the map in Ohio than there are in South Dakota. At least we didn’t get lost too bad. Last month when we were in Canada a lady from Ontario commented that they enjoy our perspective out here (in the sticks) because it is so different from where they live. They are on the outskirts of Toronto where they raise Herefords. After visiting Ohio I have a better understand of her perspective. To put the population differences into perspective, South Dakota has approximately 761,000 people while Ohio has over 11 million people. Just the city of Columbus alone has about as many people as the entire state of South Dakota. Yes, we’re hicks from the sticks. But that’s okay, we like where we live even though you have to drive quite a ways to shop at a large grocery store. Even with so many people in Ohio it is amazing that there are still some rural areas including big Amish country. It was really an interesting trip for us and we attended three very good sales with excellent cattle. The Mohican farm is in the middle of Amish country and is really quite beautiful. It’s in rolling hills with lots of hardwood trees. While we were there the trees were turning but due to wind a lot of them had left the country. The grass was still green and when we came over the hill to their place, the sight of Hereford cattle on polled national Hereford associations, Guy made it known that his pet peeve was the separate promotion of horned and polled animals. He emphasized the need for a unified breed. He also encouraged Hereford breeders to focus on maintaining Hereford purity to provide the most genetic kick in a crossbreeding program. Mike MacNeil Mike MacNeil, native of New York State, graduated from Cornell University with a bachelor’s degree from the College of Agriculture in 1974. He then went to work for Dutchman Hereford Co. in Lauxmont, Pa., until returning to school at Montana State University, where he received a master’s degree in animal science in 1978. He then moved to South Dakota State University (SDSU) to begin work on his doctorate’s degree. In 1980 Mike left SDSU to join the University of Nebraska staff at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC), Clay Center, Neb., as the experiment station statistician. Mike was awarded his doctorate’s degree from SDSU in 1982 for his work on genetic antagonisms between sex-limited traits. In 1983 he joined the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service at Clay Center. In 1989, Mike transferred from MARC to Ft. Keogh Livestock and Range Research Laboratory in Miles City, Mont. Here he assumed responsibility for the Line 1 Hereford program. Aspects of Mike’s research that have (continued on page 22) lush green hills plus an old red barn was gorgeous. (See photo on front cover.) The barn is about 150 years old and the sale barn addition was built by local Amish men. You can just feel the history when you sit in that barn. There were a lot of Polled Hereford breeders from around the country at this sale as well as the Stockdale-Grandview and SunnysideDettweiler sales. It made for a very enjoyable Hereford weekend and it was nice to meet these breeders. Thanks to Lisa Finnegan, Buckeye Hereford Association secretary/manager, for introducing us to some of the locals and helping us get around.

Jim Schuette of Highmore always brings some good steer prospects to the SD Excellence Sale. • Go-Pher the Purple Catalog • Jibben Footnote Correction Photo by Colin Hoffman, Leola, SD Lot 2 — JPH Ontime Call 1S JPH ONTIME CALL 1S is a super herd bull prospect that has natural eye appeal, is wide based with natural muscle thickness and depth of body. 1S also has good bone & leg to him which allows him to move out and stride freely. 1S is fully pigmented, dark red with an excellent hair coat. Since birth, 1S has been a delight and privilege to raise and has developed into the best herd bull prospect that I have ever handled. His dam, RBC 100L Maxine 420, is a superb Call 2 yr. old that I purchased in the 2005 Gopher Sale from Ross & Beth Carlson and by the evidence of this super herd bull prospect, she is indeed maternally loaded with genetic strength. She is milky and her udder is flawless! Please note that 1S has the genetic strength of two time National Champion, Online, and National Champion, Call, in his pedigree.

(continued from page 1) got to Red Deer we had enough of the storm and decided to give up for the night. The next day the weather was no better, but we motored down the road to Edmonton however a big car pileup forced us to take a 50 mile detour to the east so we saw the country east of Edmonton too. Edmonton is now a city of over one half million people so it took some searching for us to find the Northlands Complex, which houses the Farmfair event. I have seen livestock events in Canada, the USA, Hungary, Spain, Argentina, Uruguay, but I have never seen a complex that is the equal of the Northlands Complex. It is built on somewhat of an oval with everything going to the middle where the displays and concessions, and the International Lounge are located. It was Nov.7th when we arrived, (Yes, we voted before we left the US) and checked in with the Canadian Hereford Assn. booth, where we were greeted by Gordon Stevenson, the General Manager of the Canadian Hereford Assn. and Byron Templeton, the current President of the Canadian Hereford Assn., and Katelyn Wildeman, of the CHA staff and Brad Dallas of Bowden. After visiting with several breeders in the area we started to look over the nearly 300 head of horned and polled Herefords that were housed in the complex. The Canadian National Hereford sale was held that afternoon so the usual pre sale “buzz” was going through the crowd and the exhibitors. I ran into Doug Finseth, the Manager of the Kallal herd at Tofield, who was one of the Farmfair Hereford officials and a good friend and acquaintance for several years. Doug said, “You and Paul come with me to the International AgBusiness Center.” We were taken to the center of the Complex and upstairs to a very nice room with a person at the door to check people in. After being taken to the registration desk we were given membership in the Center, a nice carry bag, which included many useful items for the show and a card which gave us access to the room for the duration. In this lounge was food, drink, and “sweet goodies.” Near one wall were large lounge chairs behind a large picture window that looked out over the show ring, a little like a sky box at a football game. As soon as we were officially entered into the books at the International Center, Gordon Stevenson asked us to join him and Byron Templeton for lunch. We enjoyed a nice lunch and a long talk about the Hereford industry in North America. This super treatment on the part of these people Mike MacNeil... (continued from page 20) directly benefited the AHA include: 1) comprehensively and objectively characterizing Line 1 Hereford cattle; 2) facilitating dominant use of Line 1 Hereford cattle in bovine genomics; 3) developing profit indexes for the AHA; 4) estimating the economic value of heterosis; 5) developing guidelines for implementing crossbreeding systems; 6) identifying genetic antagonisms for carcass and maternal traits; 7) evaluating importance of cow families in performance of Hereford cattle; 8) identifying and evaluating new phenotypes for estimation of EPDs (including calving date, metabolizable energy intake of cows and ovulatory follicle size); 9) identifying quantitative trait loci for phenotypes of economic relevance to the beef industry and especially to Hereford breeders; 10) experimentally evaluating the genetic antagonism between birth weight and subsequent growth in Line 1 Hereford cattle; and 11) characterizing consequences of selection to reduce birth weight and increase December 2006 was very gracious and I do not think I have been treated any nicer at any event I have attended than Farmfair International! We continued to enjoy this International AgBusiness Center throughout our stay at Farmfair. The sale was held next to the Hereford stalls in the middle of the afternoon at one of the sales arenas set up for the show. The sales prices for the heifers, especially, were good. The few bulls in the sale were of very good quality but were more moderately priced. Nov. 8th was the date of the big Hereford show. The polled and horned Herefords were shown in separate shows but the ring was split so if you sat up high in the nice arena, you could see both shows. There was a great set of quality cattle shown. Some of the cattle had previously sold for near record prices and some had won other major shows in Canada. It was a little surprising to me to see some of the type differences in the classes. Through my 30 years of viewing Canadian cattle as a Judge and as a interested spectator, I have always seen pretty big cattle shown. In this show some new blood lines were shown that were more moderate in size, and in a lot of cases the judges placed them quite high, noting that possibly we were getting the cattle too large. Many breeders at ringside were discussing the “big” issue as the show went on. In the end the “big dollar” bulls won. They were both very good bulls and deserved the banner. We were hearing bad weather reports all day so at about 2:30 PM Paul and I decided to head for home. Light snow was falling as we departed the Northlands Complex. It takes about 45 minutes to get out of the city as it is so large, but with the help of a nice young lady in a sports car, we found the main road (2) and headed south. About fifty miles north of Calgary the roads started to get snow packed and slick. Soon the traffic started to “pile up” and we knew there was trouble ahead. All traffic stopped and soon several ambulances came “wailing” through the traffic and then several RCMP (Mounties) cars arrived. We knew it was a bad wreck and when we got to go by the scene we could see that it was terrible. The two vehicles involved were severely damaged and we could tell by the responders that there were fatalities. Paul said to me, “Several peoples’ lives were changed forever in this wreck” and I agreed. The traffic went much slower for awhile and then rolled on again. We hit Calgary during rush hour and it was terrible, as big cities are at rush hour. The heavy snow started again, and it was so bad that many cars put their warning lights on. When we got to High River yearling weight in increasing calving ease, production efficiency and carcass value. “Dr. MacNeil has been a good friend and inspiration to me as well as many other livestock producers across America,” says Mark Cooper, Cooper Hereford Ranch, Willow Creek, Mont. “He has been a very influential voice for the American producer and is much deserving of this prestigious award.” John Hough, vice president of Benyshek and Hough Consulting Services, adds, “Mike is one of only a few researchers who truly understands both research theory and its application in the livestock industry.” Mike has authored, co-authored or edited more than 260 scientific and technical publications. These publications are frequently cited, and resulting technologies have been adopted by government agencies, livestock producers and beef cattle breed associations. Mike somehow still has time to be active in his church and in the American Society of Animal Science, as well as other professional and civic organizations. He and his wife, Betty, make their home outside Miles City and are the parents of two children, Megan and Brendan. we needed a morsel of food and fuel so we stopped to talk the situation over. The word from the travelers was that the storm was on our backside and it was better ahead. So we pushed on and sure enough it got better and by 11:00 we were back to Paul’s place. I drove home the next morning in good winter weather. It took me about 25 hours to make the 1500 mile trip but what a trip. I saw many good friends that I have not seen for some time, met many new people, saw a great Hereford show and talked about an industry that I have lived with for 76 years. We were treated so kindly in Canada it makes you want to go back again soon, but the reality is that father time has probably figured that this may be one of my last trips north to Canada. I want to congratulate Mike MacNeil of Fort Keogh on receiving the honor of being inducted into the AHA Hall of Merit. I visit with Mike often on issues in the field and he has always been honest and helpful. I read with great interest the announcement that Rachel Endicott was named MSU/Ext. Beef Cattle Specialist, located at Fort Keogh. Rachel is the daughter of Bob and Janet Endicott of McAllister, MT. Rachel is a granddaughter of Bob and Cora Goggins, longtime Hereford breeders at Ennis. I have known and watched Rachel for years show her Hereford steers and heifers at our Madison County Fair. She was always at or near the top of the class. Rachel is a fine young woman.We are very fortunate to have Dr. Rachel in her new position. — FarmFair Champions — November 8, 2006 • Edmonton, Alberta Other winners: Grand Champion Polled Female FCC 4L Karen 14N, Flewelling Cattle Co.
