would observe this genetic defect if the
recessive mutation causing it were
present in our herd. We have not
produced a single calf with epilepsy.
However because the industry “rumor
mill” has linked this condition to L1,
we asked Jon Beever at the University
of Illinois, to test every animal in the
herd for presence of the causal
mutation. This mutation causing
epilepsy in Hereford cattle is not
present in the Line 1 herd in Miles
City.” Of course I assume that nearly
all of you readers know that the Line 1
family was started in Miles City in
1926, and has been a closed line since
that time.
Mike opened his meeting with the
idea that anyone can ask questions at
any time. Mike said no question is
“stupid” because probably five
different people want to ask the same
question. For nearly two hours MacNeil
lectured and answered questions from
the group, mostly Line 1 breeders from
all over the country. One point clearly
brought out by Mike was that all
breeders should be using the test system
to check their herd, and until the end
of March the test is free. In the future
there will probably be a cost. Mike said
the problem must be cleared up as it
could balloon if allowed to continue.
My only regret concerning the
meeting was that several prominent L1
producers were not in attendance but
those that were in attendance gained in
the knowledge.
It is very interesting to me the various
approaches that have been taken by
breeders. Some have tested but have not
made the test results public, some have
tested and then put a statement in their
catalog, some have never told the
industry what they have done, if
anything. It is my understanding that
over 10,000 head have been tested, and
more are in test backload. I hope the
results will become industry knowledge
for the sake of the breed. Will AHA do
this release? Probably not as the
pressure from the affected breeders will
be too great.
In an article I wrote in Hereford
America some time ago I related my
personal experience with problems that
have faced the cattle industry during my
60+ years of involvement. My
statement was that we have never been
fortunate enough in the past to have a
test like DNA to help clean up the
problem, and Mike MacNeil eluded to
this in his talk. Now it is just a matter
of people doing the work to rid the
breed of the problem. Good luck!
In my last article I wrote about the
bad roads that I hit in Idaho and on
Monida Pass in particular. As I headed
out to the Colyer sale and the Heritage
sale, I thought this wasn’t too smart as
it was snowing very hard and it was
dark and the roads were snow covered
and slick. I drove about 30 miles per
www.herefordamerica.com • 3
hour to Dillon and went in to
McDonalds to have a cup of coffee and
think the situation over. There were no
other cars on the road and I thought that
should tell me something.
I really wanted to get to these sales
so I journeyed on and fought the winter
problem. The roads were no better as I
proceeded. It was blowing over Monida
as usual and it was slick but not as bad
as the previous times.
The roads in southern Idaho were a
little better but still a winter situation. I
can tell you one thing though that you
have to have a good reason to drive
from Twin Bridges, MT to Bruneau, ID
in the winter. Colyers had a nice set of
cattle and they sold well. This outfit
really knows how to put on a sale.
Every detail is taken care of and the
facility is excellent and the people very
cordial. One thing I have told people

having sales about for years is having
the sale lot posted on each animal
during the period the animal is selling.
Many times the auctioneer is too busy
to keep repeating the lot number and
people are looking, asking, wondering
what is selling. We are in the day of the
rapid sell so it is a problem. Colyers
have an electric sign with the lot
number on it. Very good!
I went on two days later to Heritage
to their first sale in the west. They did
have a sale on their eastern farm this
year. The sale was held in a big horse
arena that was about big enough to have
a football game in.
The sale was well organized and a
very nice set of Hereford and Angus
cattle were presented. I think for a
starter sale in Idaho it was very good
and a good sized crowd attended. There
were some very good buys during the
sale however one of the higher selling
bulls we have seen sold this fall was in
this sale. The Gomez group have shown
us that they are serious about this
business and we wish them well. I
drove all the way home from the sale
and the road situation was better but
for an “Old Geezer” it was a long day.

I wanted to go to the Harrell sale in
Oregon the next week but I thought
driving this is just too much and again
the weather was forecast to be bad so
the flying in our plane was out. I
checked into Horizon Airlines and their
schedule was great, leave home on
Sunday, fly to Boise, drive to Baker City
and the sale on Monday and fly home
Tuesday. Driving in Boise is about like
Seattle or Denver or Phoenix or Calgary
but I made it to Harrells and saw a great
set of cattle and they had a wonderful
sale I had a very nice visit with Edna
Harrell, who I have known for a long
time, and enjoyed watching the cattle
and horses sell. By the way, Harrells
have a great lot number sign that shows
the current lot and the coming lot. The
Calgary bull sale does this too and you
breeders that have sales should adopt
this system. After fighting through the
rush hour traffic again in Boise I sure
enjoyed getting on the “big bird” for
the flight home, then on to Miles City
a few days later. If I was only 40 years
younger I thought. I had some
wonderful visits with breeders at Miles
City. Mostly people I had never met
before, but I had heard about them and
read their advertisements on their cattle.
It was good to see Rob Fraser again.
Rob owns the Miles City yards and does
the auctioneering for the Fort Keogh
sale and several other breeders. I gave
Rob some of his first work in the
purebred auctioneering field and I am
proud of what he has done. Rob is the
son of Katie and Bill Fraser of Reed
Point who were prominent Hereford
breeders. Rob is a 3rd cousin of mine
too. If you don’t want a straight answer
don’t ask Rob!
My traveling is about done for the
season but it has been a great group of
sales and I have really enjoyed visiting
with so many of the breeders from all
over. Hereford America has been
fortunate to have great backing from a
big share of the industry. Our
advertisers and readers list keeps
growing and it is hard to keep up with
the demand.
We tell it like it is, and probably the
only Hereford paper who will report the
whole story.

Jill’s Editorial...
eliminate the program. I can’t help but
wonder if their American acquisitions
will make it through the regulatory
phase of anti-trust laws though. Is it my
imagination or do these big packers
seem to make it through anyway? Is this
much control of the U.S. and world beef
industry a good thing? It seems to me
cattle producers who are already at the
mercy of big packers will be even more
so after this deal. The second thing I
am concerned about is will their system be breed specific one way or another. Time will tell. I also wonder when
JBS will make a move on Canadian
plants and feedyards. Maybe those are
protected by the other Big 3 packers.
Regardless, this company is so big they
will have major control on our markets.
If the deal makes it through the regulatory hoops and gets the blessing of the
U.S. Dept of Justice, it certainly will be
interesting to see what it does to the U.S.
cattle market.
Closer to home...the night before the
big Miles City Fort Keogh Line One sale
they held an informational seminar and
reception where Mike MacNeil, research geneticist, presented information
on epilepsy in Hereford cattle. There
were about 50 people in attendance.
Mike gave an excellent explanation of
the genetics behind epilepsy in Hereford cattle then entertained questions for
a good part of the evening. This form
of epilepsy is caused by a genetic mutation and is inherited from carrier animals in the form of a recessive gene.
Mike gave us a refresher course on our
college genetics too but I won’t go into
that. It was a very good explanation,
however.
Some of the main points that Mike
drove home are 1.) EVERY Hereford
breeder should test for epilepsy (IE)
over 800,000 head in 10 feedyards
which makes them the largest cattle
feeder in the world. If the purchase goes
though JBS would also be the largest
packer in the United States capturing
over 32 percent of domestic beef harvesting. JBS also purchased Australia’s
Tasman Group for $150 million.
Tasman operates 6 packing plants in
Australia and Tasmania. The total for
all the acquisitions is approximately
$1.3 billion and will give JBS control
of about 10% of the world’s beef market. Wow! Prior to these purchases JBS
was already the world’s largest beef processor. They project company sales will
rise to $22 billion next year compared
with $12 billion this year. If these U.S.
acquisitions go through JBS would harvest more than 42,000 head of cattle per
day in 12 U.S. plants.
The primary shareholder of National
Beef, U.S. Premium Beef, approved the
purchase with 90% of its unit holders
approving the purchase. Prior to the purchase National Beef was the fourth largest beef packer in the U.S.
“JBS’s worldwide reach and its reputation for efficient operations will enable National Beef to participate in opportunities heretofore unavailable to
us,” John R. Miller, chief executive of
National Beef, said in a statement. National Beef has three slaughter plants
and two meat processing units.
What does all this have to do with the
Hereford industry? A couple of things.
If you remember, National Beef is one
of two licensed packers for the Certified Hereford Beef program and has the
most CHB volume. (Greater Omaha is
the other licensed CHB packer.) Only
time will tell if this will be a really good
thing for CHB or if JBS will decide to

Effective selection for efficiency RFI offers an improved
alternative to traditional efficiency measures
Reprinted with permission of
Western Livestock Reporter
Columbus, Mont. - One of the most
basic economic principles is to increase
profits then increase efficiency for
optimum results.
This economic principle has been
studied and proven for centuries, and
if it is so simplistic, why hasn’t the
cattle industry mastered this concept?
Technically it has tried, at least to the
best of its ability. Many breeders have
tried to select for more efficient cattle
by studying the feed efficiency or feed
conversion ratios of their cattle when
it was available and others have
calculated a percentage of body weight
weaned. However, the impedance to
this is lack of information available to
cattle producers before breeding
decisions or bull purchases and no
reliable measuring method. To further
compound the problem is traditional
efficiency measures have “tag-along”
traits that are also impacted by selection
for traditional feed efficiency and thus
“total system efficiency” is not easily
achieved. But now an improved method
of calculating efficiency has been
developed that measures residual feed
intake (RFI) or as some refer to it net
feed intake.
RFI is a measure of true feed
utilization and at its most basic level
measures differences in metabolic
efficiencies. The concept of RFI is
measuring the amount of feed an animal
consumes above or below its
maintenance requirements as well as its
performance (growth) levels. For
example, the amount of feed that
should be required to maintain a 1200
pound bull in XYZ weather conditions
gaining 3 pounds a day is determined.
Then using the GrowSafe system the
amount of feed actually consumed by
that animal is calculated. If, in the case
of the bull, he consumed less feed than
should have been required for his
performance levels then he will have a
negative RFI which means he was
more efficient. Conversely, if a bull ate
more than should have been required,
he would have a positive RFI which
translates into a less efficient animal.
The average bull would have an RFI of
0.
There are only a limited number of
GrowSafe systems currently available
in the United States on a commercial
basis, with most of them being at
central test stations. The GrowSafe
system consists of individual feed tubs

now that there is a test; and 2.) if breeders continue NOT testing and eliminating carrier animals the problem will persist forever.
Of course there are many breeders
waiting for lists from the AHA of either
IE-free or IE-carrier animals so they
can make informed breeding decisions.
In checking the Angus Association’s
website I see they list both carriers and
tested non-carriers of certain genetic
defects and also are clear about stating
whether or not a defect is lethal or cosmetic. I have a feeling we might be
waiting for such lists for quite some
time. Hopefully I’m wrong! I think if a
breeder has gone to the trouble of testing, those results should be made known
whether on the pedigree or on a list.
The AHA board has some big decisions
to make and hopefully they don’t have
blinders on. The future of our breed really depends on it.
I will say this again and hopefully
people are paying attention, we have the
tools available now in the form of DNA
tests, let’s use them and make informed
decisions. How many of you have
checked out the Genetic Defects portion of the Angus site lately? Did you
notice they are listing bulls that carry
the dwarfism gene? Yes, dwarfism. How
many of you thought that problem was
erradicated about 40 years ago? Well it
wasn’t. Of course 40 years ago we
didn’t have DNA tests at all only the
tool of eliminating suspected lines. Evidently it wasn’t eliminated. Today we
have DNA tests for several genetic abnormalities and there will be more tests
in the years to come. As a producer of
seedstock genetics why would you not
use these tests? I know there are a number of Hereford breeders who are testing and eliminating carriers of both dilutor and epilepsy. I commend you for
being responsible breeders. For those
of you who are not taking these steps I
ask, why would you not? Do you want
to still have these gentic problems
around in another 40 or 50 years or indefinitely?

efficiency regardless of size. This,
coupled with the fact that postweaning
RFI is highly correlated with mature
RFI, “total system efficiency” is closer
to reality. Research has shown that both
feed intake and RFI during the
postweaning period and at maturity had
genetic correlations greater than 0.90.
This suggests selection decisions made
on the basis of RFI measured
postweaning would translate nearly
perfectly to genetic improvement in
efficiency in the cow herd. Therefore
selection for cattle that grow and
perform with less feed inputs is
achievable and just as importantly the
cow herd efficiency and maintenance
requirements are not compromised and
better yet, perhaps improved.
In order to create change via selection
a trait must be both measurable and
heritable. RFI is both. It is measurable
through the GrowSafe system and
research has shown a heritability
estimate of .40 for RFI which puts it
into the moderately heritable category,
meaning significant change can be
made depending on the selection
pressure. In order to facilitate selection
for RFI, an EPD (in some breeds) will
most likely be produced. The RFI EPD
will be one of the first “input” EPDs
available to cattlemen. Traditional EPDs
have always focused on “output” - i.e.
weight, milk production, birthweight
etc... but the RFI EPD will express how
much input a certain animal or its
offspring will be expected to require in
the form of feed, which will directly
impact the feed costs for that operation.
While there is no magic equation to
create the perfect animal, RFI offers
an opportunity to breed more efficient
cattle with the same level of
performance that is needed to either sell
cattle profitably at weaning, or maintain
the cattle through the feedlot, or develop
replacement heifers with minimal feed
inputs, or even increase the carrying
capacity of your most valuable asset...
your land. Research has shown RFI
selection can reduce grass and feed
intake by 15-20 percent. That’s a $50$70 savings running a cow and another
$70-$100 in the feedlot. The
opportunity is available!

Epilepsy (IE) Explained By Lead Researcher
by Jonathan E. Beever, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Molecular Genetics
Department of Animal Sciences
University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign
Editor’s Note: Hereford America asked Dr.
Beever to write an article explaining the
epilepsy issue (IE) in Hereford cattle. He is
the lead researcher on this subject and is the
researcher who identified the IE gene. Thank
you to Dr. Beever to take the time out of his
busy schedule to answer a few questions.
Q: What is Idiopathic Epilepsy (IE)
in Hereford cattle?
IE is a recessive genetic defect with
a variable age of onset (occurrence of
the first seizure) ranging from birth to
several months of age. Occurrence and
persistence of seizures may be
influenced by environmental stressors
such as temperature extremes (e.g.,
extreme cold during calving) or
increased physical activity (e.g.,
processing at vaccination or weaning).
Upon initial onset of seizures calves
may appear to walk with a stiffened,
irregular gait. During seizure episodes
individuals will typically lie on their
side with all limbs extended in a rigid
state. Seizure episodes may last from
several minutes to more than an hour.
Affected calves typically have a high
mortality rate. To date, no anatomic
abnormalities or histologic lesions have
been detected following necropsy of
affected calves.
Q: What research has been
conducted to find a DNA test for IE?
Over the past four years the
University of Illinois and the American
Hereford Association have been
involved in a joint research project
aimed at determining the genetic cause
of IE. This has involved working
directly with a number of breeders who
have been willing to provide DNA
samples on animals that had produced
calves affected with IE or directly from
IE affected calves. As of April 2007,
enough data had been obtained to
clearly demonstrate that the condition
was of genetic origin. Additionally, a
collection of DNA samples sufficient
to map the gene and potentially identify

the causative mutation was completed.
By August of 2007, the gene causing
IE had been mapped to a single cattle
chromosome and the DNA sequencing
of individual genes was initiated. In
early January 2008, a mutation was
identified that was thought to cause IE.
A diagnostic assay has been developed
based in this mutation and is now being
used to screen animals submitted
directly by individual Hereford
breeders.
Q: How accurate is the DNA test
for IE?
There are two distinct components that
contribute to the accuracy of any DNA
test. The first component involves the
scientific data that underlie the test.
The second component is the design
and execution of the diagnostic assay
performed as part of the testing
procedure. From a scientific standpoint,
the IE test is based on the presence of a
specific change or mutation in the DNA
sequence of an animal. This change
occurs within a gene (i.e., a sequence
in the DNA that encodes a protein) that
is expressed in the nervous system of
the animal. The mutation results in the
production of a protein that is unable
to carry out its normal function. An
example of how this happens can be
demonstrated by comparing this protein
to a simple sentence composed of three
letter words, THE CAT SAW THE DOG.
If a single letter (M) is inserted within
these words, as in the case of the IE
mutation, then the new sentence (i.e.,
containing the insertion) would be THE
CMA TSA WTH EDO G. Clearly, the
sentence, like the protein, does not have
the same meaning after the change has
occurred.
After identifying the specific
mutation, several experiments were
conducted to validate the relationship
between the mutation and IE. Two types
of validation experiments were
performed which included the blind
testing of animals with previously
known IE status and analyzing the
frequency of the mutation among
unaffected cattle within the Hereford
and other beef breeds. In all validations,
the test performed as expected. All
blind samples were correctly classified
by the test in accordance with their
known IE status. Additionally, no
unaffected animal tested as
homozygous for the mutation and the
mutation was only found in lines of
cattle that had produced affected IE
calves. The mutation was also not
found in any of the other breeds of
cattle examined. Therefore, we believe
that the scientific basis of the test is
accurate; in other words, testing for this
specific mutation will lead to correct
classification of any animal.
In regard to the diagnostic assay that
is used for determining an animal’s IE
status, the test has undergone several
optimizations that also lead us to
believe that the test is highly
reproducible and accurate. However, as
with any task requiring human
intervention, errors can occur. Of
course, we do our best to limit any
errors that occur by automating
portions of the test and appropriately
incorporating of testing controls.
Although we cannot guarantee
perfection, we estimate the assay may
have an error rate of around 1 in 10,000.
Related to the accuracy of the test,
breeders should be reminded that part
of the testing process depends on
accurate collection and documentation
of the samples being submitted for
testing.
Q: How do I interpret the results of
the IE test?
In genetics terminology, different
variants (DNA sequences) of the same
gene are referred to as alleles. Each
individual has two alleles for every
gene, one inherited from their father
and one inherited from their mother.
These two alleles can be the same,
termed homozygous, or they can be
different, termed heterozygous. The
DNA test detects both the normal and
mutant alleles of the IE gene. Thus,
according to the basic principles of
genetics, there are three possible
outcomes of the test. An individual can
be homozygous for the normal DNA
sequence (i.e., both chromosomes have
the normal allele), heterozygous for one
normal allele and one mutant allele, or
homozygous for the mutant allele.
Animals that are homozygous for the
normal allele can never produce a calf
affected with IE or pass on the IE
mutant allele to any of their offspring.
As such we refer to these animals as
IE-Free (IEF). Animals that are
heterozygous are referred to as IECarrier (IEC) because, although they
are normal in appearance, they have
one IE mutant allele and can pass it on
to their offspring. An animal that has
IE symptoms is homozygous for the
mutant allele and is referred to as IEAffected (IEA).
Q: Where did IE come from?
The mutation causing IE is most
likely the result of a spontaneous error
during the normal cellular process of
DNA replication (i.e., the synthesis of
new DNA prior to cell division). If this
error occurs in an animal’s reproductive
cells, such as sperm and eggs, the DNA
mutation becomes heritable (meaning
that can be passed on to the next
generation of offspring). This is a
normal occurrence that happens with a
predictable frequency. In fact, this is
one of the mechanisms that contribute
to genetic diversity within populations.
The vast majority of these mutational
events have no consequence. However,
on rare occasions these mutations occur
in important regions of the DNA
sequence. In these instances some of
the changes can result in desirable
changes in the “fitness” of an individual
(e.g., enhanced performance or
production). Alternatively, some
mutations can have deleterious effects,
as in the case of IE. These mutations
often go undetected and naturally
disappear from the breeding
population. If the mutation has a
positive effect or occurs in an
individual that is used heavily for
breeding, the mutation will eventually
increase in frequency. As the frequency
increases there is an increased chance
of producing individuals that are
homozygous for the mutation, at which
point deleterious mutations are
recognized as genetic defects. It should
be noted that although line-breeding
results in a more rapid increase in
homozygosity, line-breeding or
inbreeding is NOT the cause of genetic
mutation.

Ryan Sellman:
NHA Young Promoter of the Year
It is with pride that the Nebraska Hereford Association recognizes Ryan Sellman
as our Young Promoter of the Year. Ryan
has already made a name for himself as
one of the best fitters in the country and
also is a premier cattle judge.
Ryan’s Hereford roots run deep as he is
the third generation of Sellmans to be in
the purebred Hereford business. Even
though he is receiving the Young Promoter Award, he has been involved in
showing Herefords longer than many
people here today. As a very young toddler, Ryan had the entire show barn crew
searching for him when he came up missing in Denver one year. Never fear,
though. At feeding time he was found
sound asleep in the feed mixing box.
Ryan came up through the ranks of the
Nebraska Junior Hereford Association. He
exhibited very successfully at every Expo
and Junior National from the time he was
7 until he became too old to show at junior shows. He brought home more than
his share of banners and trophies, but
probably the most meaningful to Ryan was
being named National Junior Herdsman
of the Year and winning the National
Showmanship Contest. Ryan was also a
leader as he was president of the Nebraska Juniors when they hosted Expo
1999. As an adult, Ryan now serves on
the Board of Directors of the Nebraska
Hereford Association.
When Ryan graduated from high
school, he received a full ride scholarship
to Clarenden College in Texas. College life
did not suit Ryan, though, so he went to

work for various livestock outfits, including Upstream Ranch. A few years ago the
opportunity arose for Ryan to return to
the family ranch near Crawford so he
moved back home and began seriously
developing his purebred Hereford herd.
He also brought his bride, Sandi, to the
ranch to make their home.
Since being home Ryan has been successful in producing some standout cattle,
notably SR Hard Rock, calf champion in
Denver in 2006 and reserve champion bull
in Denver in 2007.
With Ryan’s keen eye for cattle, expert
fitting skills and his dedication to the Hereford breed, the Nebraska Hereford Association is proud to name him as our 2007
Promoter of the Year.

Ridders Receive NHA
Heritage Award
Ridder Hereford Ranch had its
beginnings with the 1907 purchase of
land six miles west of Callaway by
Theodore and Elizabeth Ridder.
Theodore started his Hereford herd
when he bought Rector 334160, a May
12, 1908 son of Astor 128637 and Mabel
Bellringer 117599 from Benger & Decker.
One of his earliest purebred cow
purchases was Old Susannah for $5,000
from Mousels of Cambridge, Nebraska.
Theodore and Elizabeth’s youngest
of 11 children, Paul, decided to ranch
instead of attending Engineering college
when his father announced his
retirement in 1934. Paul and Marianne
were married in 1945 and after WWII
ended, they returned home from Corpus
Christi, Texas where Paul had served as
an aviator instructor for the U. S. Navy.
In 1972 Paul died in a ranch accident
and John took over management of the
ranch, having graduated the year before
from Colorado State University with a
BS in Animal Science.
Within a couple years John added
Line 1 genetics with the purchase of
bulls and heifers from Cooper Herefords
in Montana, took his first carload of
bulls to the National Western Stock
Show, and hosted his first sale on the
ranch in a new sale barn and cattle
display area he had built. He got
involved in the national and state
cattlemen’s organizations, the national
and state Hereford organizations, and
encouraged his brother to take part in
4-H.
In January of 1982 Metric was named
the Grand Champion Hereford Bull at
the National Western Stock Show.
Metric, or L1 Domino G081, was out of
a Holden cow John had bought for his
brother as a college graduation present
and out of a Venhuizen bull he’d
purchased for the ranch. Steckel’s
Diamond Ring Ranch had bought an
interest in Metric in the 1981 Showcase

Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) is a
program to ensure that cattle are
maintained in a manner which will
result in a safe and wholesome product for the consumer. The BQA program, which had its beginnings in the
early 1980s, has been modified and
adapted to meet the needs of a wide
range of production and marketing circumstances. Specifically, BQA is designed by producers to enhance carcass quality by preventing residues,
pathogen contamination and carcass
defects such as injection blemishes.
Since its inception, BQA is a voluntary, producer driven program.
Even with the recent negative developments in the packing industry
which negatively affect our industry,
we need to keep the program voluntary but we need to find ways of getting better industry buy-in. Humane
handling of cattle is a passionate issue both to all producers but especially to our consumers. In order to
maintain their confidence in our product, it is time the BQA program further develops a program for the humane handling and care of cattle.
As we speak, a group of NCBA
members are working on a BQA selfassessment program. This program
will allow operations to assess or audit themselves to prove to our consumers and their interested groups
that the BQA program is working. In
order to maintain credibility, we as
an industry need more participation
in the BQA program. Can we now
challenge you to become involved and
become a BQA certified producer and
operation? It is the right thing to do
as an industry and as an individual
beef producer.

Sale. That spring 1982 John had a successful
cow sale and in December of 1982 John and
Mary were married. Over the next several
years Ridders cross-fenced pastures into
smaller rotational grazing paddocks and
purchased the business from John’s mother.
John served as Nebraska Hereford Association
president and as president of the American
Hereford Association’s Presidents Council and
is currently serving another term on the NHA
board.
In 1988 Ridders bought their first Canadian
herd sire and by 1993 their sixth child was
born. This fall they
have four children in
college and two in
high school: Joe, 23,
is a Construction
Management major
and Business minor
at UNL; Dan, 21, is
a
Construction
Management major
at UNO; Erin, 20, is
in Pre-Optometry at
Chadron
State
College; and Liz, 18,
is a Pre-Dental
student also at
Chadron. Ellen, 16,
is a junior at
Callaway
High
School and Tricia,
14, is a freshman at
CHS.
Ridder’s ranch is
a grass ranch. They
seeded the last of
their dryland farm
ground into hay in
2005. Most of their
pastures are crossfenced and rotated
frequently utilizing
central watering
sites. All of their
cattle are purebred
Herefords with Line
1 and Canadian
genetics.
Their
family hosts a sale
each February at
their ranch sale barn,
selling two-year
Bulls, yearlings
from their National
Western Stock Show
carload, and yearling
Heifers. John has
judged regional and
national Hereford
shows.
Three of their
current Herd Sires
are:
• K 64H Ribstone
Lad 157K is an
industry leader in
carcass, maternal,
and growth. His
REA and IMF
measurements place
him at the top of the
Hereford breed,
while his IMF
numbers surpass
nearly all Angus bulls in their respective
summary.
• AGA 13G General 114L and one of his
sons were voted most popular bulls by
Canadian commercial producers at their
summer roundup two years in a row. Ridders
own this bull with Stutheits and Diemerts.
• CJH L1 Domino 0041, a Harland-raised
sire, was purchased as a 7-year-old from Dick
Drake of Cheyenne last year. He sires big
performance with light birth weight and has
outstanding daughters.
This past summer the Ridders celebrated
with both a family reunion and a barn party.

Q: Is there a specific line of cattle that
is associated with IE?
Because the spontaneous mutation
rate is very rare, specific mutations
occur only within a single individual,
called a founder. As such, within the
population, all individuals that have the
mutation can be traced to the founder.
Thus, specific mutations are unique to
certain “lines” within populations. In
the case of IE, all individuals with the
mutation can be traced to a single
individual born in 1982.
Within the Hereford breed there are
many lines of cattle that are frequently
named based on the origin of the
genetic resource. The IE founder
individual is classified as a Line 1
animal, named for the line-breeding
experiment that was initiated at the Fort
Keogh Livestock and Range Research
Laboratory in Miles City, Montana.
However, it is very important to
recognize that cattle tracing back to the
IE founder individual only represent a
very small fraction of the population
of Hereford cattle classified as Line 1.
Furthermore, this founder individual
was born outside of the Miles City
Research Station and no animals within
the Miles City herd have tested as IEC.
Thus, referring to IE as a “Line 1”
problem is blatantly incorrect and
should be vigorously denounced.
Additionally, it is equally incorrect to
suggest that the IE mutation was
“caused” by the presence of non-Line
1 germplasm within the founder
individual. In fact, molecular evidence
(i.e., DNA sequence information)
generated while conducting the IE
research clearly indicates that the
mutation occurred on a chromosome
originating within Line 1 genetic
material. In summary, IE is restricted
to a line of cattle defined by their
relationship to a specific founder
individual; however breeders should be
cautioned against referring to IE
relative to the broader classification of
Line 1 cattle within the Hereford breed.
Q: What is the frequency of IE within
the Hereford breed?
As indicated above, the IE mutation
is restricted to a relatively small
subpopulation within the breed. Thus,
it is difficult to accurately estimate the
frequency of the mutation for the entire
Hereford population. Since the
development of the DNA test for IE,
almost 10,000 animals have been tested
for the mutation. The vast majority of
these samples were submitted based on
the presence of IE-suspect relatives
within their pedigrees. Approximately
15% of the tested individuals were
tested as IE-Carrier (IEC). Although
this appears to be a relatively high
frequency, it is important to remember
that this estimate is biased due to
selected testing of suspect cattle only.
On the other hand, it is also important
to recognize that with this moderate
frequency of the mutation, IE should
not be considered as a “negligible”
issue within the breed.
Q: Is there a publicly available list
of animals that have been tested for
IE?
Currently, there is not a publicly
available list indicating the IE status of
specific individuals that have been
tested. However, since the development
of the IE test, the American Hereford
Association Staff and Board have been
actively working to establish policies
regarding the listing of both IEF and
IEC individuals.
Q: Do other breeds have IE?
Although there are documented
“epilepsy-like” disorders in other cattle
breeds, it is highly unlikely that the
underlying genetic basis is the same as
that found in Hereford cattle.
Furthermore, while a disorder may be
generally described as epilepsy, each
condition may have subtle differences
in the pathology or presentation. This
would indicate differences in
underlying causes including both
genetic and environmental conditions.
Also, as mentioned above, spontaneous
mutation is a relatively rare event.
Thus, it would be
virtually impossible for
the same mutation to
occur
in
another
individual or highly
unlikely
for
an
independent mutation to
occur within the same
gene affected in IE.
Additionally, because the
mutation causing IE can
be traced to a relatively
recent founder individual
within the Hereford
breed, it would also be
unlikely that seizure
disorders described in
other breeds prior to 1982
would be the same as IE.
Q: Is it acceptable to use
an IEC animal in a
registered breeding
program?
The general purpose of
every breeding program
is to accumulate genetic
value
from
one
generation to the next. To
accomplish this goal,
individual breeders use a
number of criteria (e.g.,
phenotype, performance,
EPDs, etc.) for making
selective
matings
between
parent
individuals. For some
breeders, an animal that
is IEC has no value and
thus they will choose not
to use them. Over the
long-term, this should be
the goal of all seedstock
producers. However, at
the same time, breeders
should also recognize that there may be
IEC animals with superior genetic merit
for other traits that cannot be found
among IEF animals. Availability of a
DNA test for IE allows breeders to use
IEC animals in order to extract the
positive genetic merit for other traits
while directly selecting against IE by
testing the offspring and selecting those
with the highest merit that are IEF.
This being said, breeders might
consider the following guidelines for
using IEC individuals. In regard to
bulls, young or unproven individuals
should be removed from the breeding
population as soon as possible. Proven
herd sires should be used on a limited
basis until a potential IEF replacement
can be produced. Females that are
below average for performance should
be culled or moved into a commercial
production environment. Above
average females can be bred to IEF
bulls until a suitable IEF replacement
is produced or potentially used as
recipients for an ET program. Very few
elite IEC females will merit use as ET
donors. It should be noted that in all
these situations, increased management
of these animals will be required to
insure control over the inadvertent
spread of IE.
Q: How about using IEC animals in
a commercial program?
Although it would be best to limit the
use of IEC animals in any breeding
program, IEC individuals may have
some utility within the commercial
production environment where calves
are destined for terminal use. Because
IE is a recessive genetic defect, calves
affected with IE cannot be produced if
at least one of the parents is IEF. Thus,
in a commercial production
environment, producers would not need
to worry about losses due to mortality
of affected calves. Because this IE
mutation is only found within Hereford
cattle, the use of IEC animals in an
intercross crossbreeding system would
not produce any affected calves in the
initial two-breed cross. The danger in
using IEC animals in these situations
is the potential for retention of
replacement animals that may be IEC.
If these IEC replacements were to be
mated back to another IEC individual,
affected calves may be produced.
Therefore, with appropriate breeding
management practices, IEC individuals
can be used without economic
consequence.

Sellin’ on the Street

Some girls just don’t have a sense of
humor. The little woman that lives at
our house usually does, but there are
times when I can tell I’ve pushed her
just about as close to the edge as I dare.
Normally she’s game for just about anything, but she drew the line on me when
it came to peddlin’ watermelons. She
stuck it out for a couple of days….then
just flat quit. Like a balkin’ mule, there
wasn’t any use in me even wasting my
energy, because she wasn’t budgin’.
I had found myself in Oklahoma in
the late summer several years ago with
a new pickup and a sixteen foot stock
trailer, and being the enterprising sort
that I am, figured I needed something
to haul back. Now what could I buy
down South to haul back up here that
would make a buck?
Even when gas was thirty cents a
gallon, thirty cents was hard for a country boy to find, and I was sure there
must be some way to buy the gas
home. I checked out the newspaper ads,
but couldn’t seem to find a deal on anything. Then a bolt of lightning came
flashin’ out from somewhere way
down under my hat. Watermelons!
We’d tried to raise ‘em in the garden a
few times, but they’d only gotten about
the size of a grapefruit. They should
sell like hot cakes up north.
I located an Okie with a watermelon
patch ... which was about as hard as
findin’ a cowboy with a pair of spurs
… and soon struck up a deal on a load
of his finest. “You pick ‘em out, and
I’ll haul ‘em
to
the
trailer,” said
my new
Okie friend
as we surveyed about
five acres of
melons.
Ken and B.J.
I really hated
to admit to him
that I didn’t know beans about pickin’
out watermelons, but he looked like an
honest sort, so I told him that I didn’t
know a good one from a bad one until I
cut it open, so I’d do the haulin’, and
he could do the pickin’. “Just get me
good ones.”
Dang it was hot, but we finally got
the trailer loaded about four feet deep
all the way to the back. We had on just
under 5000 pounds. They cost me fifty
cents a piece, and I headed ‘er north
with visions of bein’ rich in a couple of
days.
I was really surprised at the little
woman’s reaction. “You want me to do
what? Not on your life cowboy! You
bought ‘em, you peddle ‘em.”
It took some tall talkin’ but I explained to her that we needed to use all
the assets we had in the most efficient
manner. Somehow I managed to convince her that if she’d just sit by the
highway in her white shorts and one of
those halter tops of hers that the customers would come flockin’ to her
door, and the watermelons would sell
themselves. (She looks good in that
kind of garb now, but you should have
seen her thirty years ago.) All the compliments worked, and out to the highway she went.
The first day things went just about
as I’d planned. She had sold about a
third of the load, and other than being a
little grouchy, like a true ranch wife,
she had adjusted to the new challenge.
It was all down hill from there.
First, the bees and wasps found the
treasure, and were getting really friendly
with the smell of the melons. That didn’t
help her attitude any, but the last straw
was the guy that squealed to a stop in a
little red sports car. He looks her up and
down and says, “What’cha sellin’
honey?”
That was it. Over the edge she went.
“Watermelons, you SOB!”
It is probably fortunate that I can’t
recall the exact exchange we had when
she prematurely returned home. I just
remember I lost, and wound up spending a couple of good hayin’ days sitting
beside the highway peddlin’ watermelons.
But then, all’s well that ends well I
guess, because we did manage to make
about four hundred and fifty bucks on
the deal. I still don’t understand. If I
looked like that in a halter top I’d be
rich.
Keep Smilin’…..
….but don’t forget to check yer cinch.

I just got to thinkin’ today about some
of the excuses that I’ve heard. Kids
have a way of comin’ up with some
dillys. I can remember gettin’ pretty
creative a time or two when I was in a
jam, but one of the best ones I ever did
hear turned out to be the truth…..but
then they say truth is stranger than fiction.
If there was ever a kid that was in

School, it was Slow Johnson. His real
name was Rodney, but he did everything about half speed, so got tagged

he talked slow, in fact, he did everything slow…. except think. He could
talk his way out of just about anything.
Maybe it was because he got so much
practice. He was one of the younger
Johnson kids, and in that outfit a kid
had to be a thinker just to survive. He
was a red headed, freckle faced little
nubbin of a kid, sort of small for his
age, and usually wore patched up old
overalls that had been handed down
about three times before they got down
to him. It seemed like his shirt tail was
always out, and trouble just followed
him around. He was continually in some
kind of a jam.
The Johnson’s lived on a hard
scrabble alkali outfit, and were all hard
workers, but they really never did have
very much. There were a lot of kids to
feed, and times were hard back then.
One October morning it was almost time
for the morning recess when Slow finally came mopin’ into the school
house. Miss Blackstone lit into him
pretty hard.
“Rodney, do you know what time it
is? You are two hours late for school.
This behavior is unacceptable.”
In his usual slow manner, Rodney
began to explain, “’Taint my fault Miss
Blackstone.”
Accustomed to his wild imagination,
the teacher was prepared for the worst.
“Well then exactly who is responsible?”
“’Taint sure Ma’am, but it’s either my
Pa’s or Ol’ Sounder’s. See, Pa don’t
put on no ‘jamers when he goes to bed,
an’ Ol’ Sounder is gettin’ real hard of
hearin’. Sounder is our dog, you know.
Or maybe it’s the coon’s fault for gettin’ in the
chicken coop, but it shore ain’t my fault.”
Miss Blackstone was torn between
immediate punishment for poor Ol’
Slow, and a deferred sentence, but her
curiosity necessitated hearing the remainder of his tale. “Ain’t isn’t a word,
Rodney. Perhaps you had better tell me
the whole story. Quickly, please.”
“Yes, Ma’am,” Slow began…slower
than ever. “Well, there’s been this coon
gettin in the chicken coop, and Pa heard
this awful squawkin’ in the middle of
the night, so he got the shot gun and
headed outside. He was in a real hurry,
so he didn’t even stop to pull his
britches on ‘er nuthin’. He was crawlin’
on his hands and knees up to the coop
as quiet as a mouse, and just about had
the coon in his sights, when the commotion finally got loud enough that it
woke up Ol’ Sounder.
He could tell right away that there was
a critter in the chicken coop, and in the
dark I guess he musta thought that Pa
was the critter. Pa was just fixin’ to cut
down on the coon when Ol’ Sounder
tied into the back end of what he thought
was the critter.
You see, Miss Blackstone, ‘taint
my fault,” as he dramatically wiped
some sleep from his eyes, “’cause we
been up cleanin’ chickens since three
o’clock this mornin’.”
Now that’s an excuse.
Keep Smilin’….
and don’t forget to check yer cinch.

Bovine TB Becomes Issue in Minnesota
Status change will mean new testing
requirements for some Minnesota cattle
and bison.
ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota
Board of Animal Health on Feb. 19
announced that a Beltrami County beef
cattle herd has tested positive for
bovine Tuberculosis (TB). This is the
fourth positive herd detected since
October 2007, and it will likely result
in the downgrade of Minnesota’s
bovine TB status from Modified
Accredited Advanced (MAA) to
Modified Accredited (MA), as required
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) Code of Federal Regulations.
Since bovine TB was discovered in
a northwest Minnesota beef cattle herd
in July 2005, the disease investigation
has found 11 infected beef cattle herds,
all in Roseau and Beltrami counties.
USDA regulations prescribe a
downgrade in status when more than
three herds are discovered within a 12
month period.
By dropping from MAA to MA,
Minnesota moves to the third of five
status levels and two steps down from
the highest status level, TB-Free. When
the downgrade becomes official, state
producers will have to adhere to

stricter federal and state testing
requirements when shipping cattle or
bison. The USDA will require all
breeding animals to be tested for bovine
TB within 60 days prior to shipment
and a whole herd test within the
previous 12 months. All feeder animals
must have a TB test prior to movement.
Cattle and bison are exempt from the
testing requirement if they are moving
interstate to a federally inspected
slaughter facility. A Modified Accredited
status may also require surveillance
testing of dairy herds that sell milk.
“All Minnesota producers planning to
ship animals interstate should still
contact their veterinarian to determine
state import requirements prior to
movement,” said Minnesota Board of
Animal Health Executive Director and
State Veterinarian Dr. Bill Hartmann.
“Individual state import requirements
may differ from federal requirements,
so it’s important to verify them prior
to shipment.”
At the February 13, 2008, meeting
of the Minnesota Board of Animal
Health, members approved a motion to
proceed with obtaining split-state
status in order to allow the majority of
the state to upgrade its status, while
the counties surrounding the core area
affected by TB would remain MA.
“We consider it of utmost importance
to do everything we can to limit the
impact of bovine TB on the state’s
cattle industry as a whole,” said
Hartmann. “While the downgrade in our
status is a setback, we are committed
to eliminating this disease from the
state.”
In the upcoming days, the Board will
send approximately 42,000 letters to
cattle producers, veterinarians, and
auction markets across the state
explaining the situation and changes to
interstate movement requirements. In
addition, animal health officials will
convene several meetings to give
producers an opportunity to hear from
the Board and other state and federal
agencies that are managing the
eradication campaign. Following
presentations from the Board of Animal
Health and other state and federal
agencies, there will be ample time for
questions from the public.
Exposure to bovine tuberculosis
through the milk or meat supply is
extremely unlikely. Meat inspectors
check all cattle entering the marketplace
for signs of the disease before and after
slaughter. Any animal showing these
signs is withheld from the food supply.
In addition, adequate cooking destroys
the bacteria. Further, the milk
pasteurization process at processing
plants destroys any potential bacteria.
As the official animal disease control
and eradication agency of the State of
Minnesota, the Board was created over
100 years ago to safeguard the health
of the state’s domestic animals. In
carrying out its mission, the Board is a
part of a network of state agencies
protecting public health and providing
an abundant, wholesome food supply
to Minnesota consumers.
