Editors’ Comments 

Happy New Year everyone. I hope 

you all had a nice Christmas and holiday 

season. 

Congratulations 

are in order for several 

of our friends. 

First, Mike Stahly 

from Cavour, SD, 

was selected as the 

new president of SD 

Cattlemens. He and 

his wife Judy, son 

Jill Hotchkiss 

Doug and daughter-in-law Chris have 

a commercial cattle operation by 

Cavour which is just east of Huron, 

SD. Mike is a past president of the 

SD Hereford Association and is a 

current board member of Ridgefield 

Farms-SD. He is a very deserving 

and capable individual. Congratulations, 

Mike! 

Congratulations also go out to 

Steve and Amy Nuhsbaumer of Zell, 

SD on the birth of their baby girl 

Charley in November. Amy is our

A new year is upon us and we hope 

that 2005 will bring us peace, 

prosperity and further advancement 

in the Hereford industry.

weather was not good. We were 

routed through Dallas and the 

weather was so bad that the field was 

closed for a short while as the 

thunderstorms passed. That meant 

that we had to travel through them 

on our way to Memphis. We were 

running about two hours late and the 

young pilot was anxious to get on 

his way knowing it would be a 

demanding trip. It was the roughest

USDA Re-opens Border to Live 

Cattle Imports Destined for Harvest 

by Pete Hisey 

12/29/04 for Meatingplace.com 

March 7, 2005, will mark the end of 

the 19-month-old ban on the importation 

of live Canadian cattle into the United 

States, the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture announced Wednesday 

afternoon, December 29th. 

Under the rule, 

to be published in 

the Federal 

Register on Jan. 

4, Canada is 

recognized as the 

first minimal-risk 

region due to its 

“effective bovine 

spongiform 

encephalopathy 

prevention and 

detection 

measures.” 

Beginning in 

March, cattle 

under 30 months 

of age may be 

imported to the 

Long-time Hereford Breeders Honored 

The American Hereford Association 

(AHA) recently rolled out the red carpet 

to honor families who have stood the test 

of time and are dedicated to the Hereford 

breed. Golden and Century honorees have 

been breeding registered Hereford cattle 

for more than 50 and 100 years. Honorees, 

family and friends were treated to an open 

house and reception at the AHA 

headquarters on October 24 and were 

recognized at the 

AHA Annual 

Membership 

meeting on

United States provided they are clearly 

branded with a large “CN,” denoting 

Canada; are shipped by sealed 

conveyance to only one feedlot; and are 

then sent directly to slaughter at a USDAcertified 

plant. 

“USDA is confident that the animal and 

public health measures that Canada has 

in place to prevent BSE, combined with 

existing domestic safeguards and 

additional safeguards provided in the final 

rule, provide the utmost protections to 

U.S. consumers and livestock,” the 

agency said in a published statement. 

Requirements for minimal-risk status 

under the final rule are: 

• prohibition of specified risk materials 

in human food. 

• stringent import restrictions to keep 

BSE out of the region.

about five years and is doing very well 

with their product. 

While the product is similar to Certified 

Hereford Beef don’t confuse the two companies—there 

are some major differences. 

Ridgefield’s clientele is primarily the 

high-end restaurant trade along with country 

clubs and small niche market grocery 

stores. (See page 5 for a few photos.) 

After a whirlwind equity drive within 

the state of South Dakota this summer $19 

million dollars was raised to fund construction 

of its own state-of the art, beef 

processing facility in Huron, SD. Yes, 

building! Not only has this increased the 

awareness of the Hereford breed, its benefits 

in a crossbreeding program and the 

absolutely fabulous beef our breed produces, 

it is giving cattle producers in South 

Dakota and the surrounding states another 

avenue to market their beef. If you or anyone 

you know would like back issues of 

our paper in which we ran news features 

on this project please contact us. We 

would be glad to send the articles to you. 

You can also access information and construction 

photos on the company’s website 

at www.rfsd.com 

Everywhere we go people are asking us 

questions about the new packing plant. I’d 

like to address some of the more frequently 

asked questions here. First of all, 

construction is on schedule. At the present 

time all of the site preparation has been 

finished and closed up for the winter. 

Concrete will be poured in early spring. 

Another frequently asked question is 

about out of state cattle. They will be taking 

out of state cattle. I think there is some 

confusion on this point due to the SD Certified 

Program which I will address later. 

At 600+ head per day Ridgefield will be 

procuring cattle from outside the state of 

South Dakota. The breed requirements for 

their Premium Hereford Beef line, which 

is estimated to make up 40% of their daily 

harvest, is at least 50% Hereford with the 

remainder being another English breed 

such as Angus, Red Angus, South Devon 

or Shorthorn. 

The proposed South Dakota Certified 

program which is a state-endorsed program 

is primarily a marketing system for 

beef from South Dakota. In a nutshell the 

program stamps its South Dakota Certified 

label on beef from cattle that are born, 

raised, fed and processed in the state of 

South Dakota. The idea of cattle being

Premium Hereford Beef like it’s going out of style! Manolis sold 6,000 lbs. of meat in 8 days 

prior to the holidays. Primarily Ribeyes, Tenderloins, and Strips were sold with 80% of that 

being Ribeyes. The past 2 months they have averaged about 3,000 lbs a week. Sounds 

like good beef is popular in Huron! (More on Manolis Grocery with its rich history, tiny

Jill’s Editorial... 

(continued from page 4) 

raised in a pristine Midwestern state is an 

appealing concept to many people especially 

those in metropolitan areas. In other 

words it is a giant marketing tool. Any beef 

processor in the state meeting these requirements 

can use the SD Certified label 

which would fit in nicely with the Ridgefield 

program. At the present time the state 

has no breed requirements for this program, 

however, in my opinion, Herefords 

and baldies are still the breeds of choice 

within the Ridgefield system. The SD Certified 

program is in its infancy so many 

details are bound to change by the time it 

is implemented.But don’t confuse Ridgefield 

with the SD Certified Program. They 

are separate. 

Oh Canada — not again. Is it my imagination 

or have the last two years ended 

with some form of North American BSE 

event and subsequent announcement from 

the USDA in regard to the US/Canada border? 

At press time we received the news 

of the border reopening in March, followed 

just hours later by an announcement of a 

possible new Canadian BSE case in a 10- 

year-old dairy cow. In this issue we have 

compiled several news articles on these 

subjects. In all of this it baffles me that 

USDA would let cattle for slaughter cross 

the border but not breeding cattle. In my 

logic it should be the other way around if 

the issue really is BSE-related. But as 

usual, money and politics are the governing 

powers and the big 3 seem to be getting 

their way once again. We’ll see how 

it shakes out. 

Happy New Year everyone!

Long-time Hereford 

Breeders Honored 


October 25 in Kansas City. 

More than 400 Hereford families were 

honored as either an American Hereford 

Association Golden or Century Award 

Recipient. Each honoree has maintained 

an interest in the Hereford breed from 50 

- 100 years and continues to remain active 

within the association. 

“The Hereford cattle, and the families 

who believe in them, have been an 

influential part of the development of the 

beef industry and especially the Hereford 

breed,” said Jack Ward, American 

Hereford Association’s Chief Operating 

Officer and Director of Breed 

Improvement. “The Golden and Century 

Awards represent a tremendous milestone 

that very few families who are involved 

in production agriculture rarely see and 

we commend the dedication and longevity 

of these families. ”

Introducing 

Churchill Hummer 3126 

Churchill Hummer is a young bull with that rare 

combination of power and style! He is thick quartered, deep 

ribbed, athletic and pigmented. His sire, MVP, breeds as much 

thickness, ribeye, and fleshing ability as any bull I’ve ever 

seen. Hummer has this same power with loads of eye 

appeal. His total performance from birth to 

yearling to carcass is terrific!

working hard on the carcass 

characteristics for several years and the 

ranchers are taking notice. 105 bulls 

averaged over $2,400 and they all went 

to commercial breeders with no big 

toppers. This is one ranch location people 

don’t come to for the free lunch, they 

come for business. This is a cowboy ranch 

location, high desert, chilling wind, a 

ways from town, and the scenery is 

different. This is one of the hardest 

working families that I have ever known, 

they deserve a good sale. 

December brought on our Montana 

Hereford Association annual meeting 

which is held at the same time and location 

as the MT Stockgrowers Association 

convention. This year Phil Friend, 

President and CEO of Ridgefield Farms, 

was invited to speak on the new packing 

plant that is being built in Huron, SD, and 

which will feature Premium Hereford 

Beef. Phil flew in from Huron with several 

of his staff and picked up Marc and Jill 

Hotchkiss in Buffalo, SD on their way to 

Billings. Phil also provided the Premium 

Hereford Beef for the banquet that night. 

Phil, during his talk, showed pictures of 

the progress of the plant and gave the 

crowd details of the planning. A very 

interested crowd listened intently to the 

presentation. 

The MT Hereford Assn. paid tribute to 

all the Hereford breeders in MT that have 

been in the business over 50 years. 

Fourteen were honored but I am sure 

some were missed as the AHA missed 

some very important breeders in their 

recognition at the annual meeting this year. 

Honored by the MHA this year were 

Anchor (Hinderager’s), Bayers, Brooks, 

Cooper, Feddes, Fort Keogh, Holden, 

Isbell, Landers, Nelson Polled, Schock, 

Sidwell, and Story. Those that were 

missed should notify Hereford America 

so we can mention your firm. We did not 

make the list up but we can correct an 

oversight. Our ranch was one of those 

honored and this makes the 86 th year of 

our operation. 

It seems like many ranchers are also 

good football fans and in all of our area 

of the country teams from the cattle 

countries have done well. Montana played 

for the Division 1AA championship, 

Wyoming won their bowl game, 

Oklahoma plays for the big championship, 

Boise State is undefeated as is Utah, and 

both in bowl games, Texas and Texas 

A&M, Texas Tech, Texas EP, OK State, 

and New Mexico, are all in bowl games. 

I am sure the Nebraska fans will look 

forward to their return to power. Colorado 

is in the big show and our smaller Carroll 

College was national champion in their 

division. I have missed some of your 

favorite teams playing but the point is that 

most ranchers like football and follow their 

teams. I am one of them, being an old 

Grizzly who played way back in the 40’s, 

I can relive the dreams. 

I hope to see many of you readers in 

Denver this January for the big National 

Western. So long until then.

Western Nugget National Hereford Show Attracts Record Numbers 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -The Western 

Nugget National Hereford show has 

grown to become a must attend for

Richard Hudson, president of the 

American Hereford Association, passed 

away suddenly Monday evening, December 

20. Richard suffered a fatal heart attack while 

attending a University of Arkansas 

basketball game in Fayetteville, Ark., with 

three of his grandchildren. 

Richard and his son, Wes, were partners 

in Hudson Herefords, which was founded 

by Richard’s father in 1939. He graduated 

from the University of Arkansas with a major 

in animal science. A very successful 

businessman, Richard later became involved 

in his own real estate and construction 

business. He was also involved in banking 

and hotel development in conjunction with 

establishing one of the premier Hereford 

herds in North America. A pillar of the 

Harrison, Ark., community, Richard served 

on several boards, including North Arkansas 

College Public School board, North 

Arkansas Medical Center, two bank boards 

and one savings and loan board. Richard 

was a deacon and treasurer of his church 

and all of those who knew him were touched 

by the way he lived and his sound and 

thoughtful judgment. 

Richard is survived by his wife, Freida, 

their four children, Sharon and Jerry Smith, 

Ralph and Lisa Hudson, Wes and Shellie 

Hudson and Sarah and James Breedlove, 

thirteen grandchildren and one greatgrandchild. 

Funeral services were Thursday, 

December 23, at the First Baptist Church in 

Harrison, Ark. 

Mary Catherine Southard 

Mary Catherine Southard, 88, of 

Topeka, KS, formerly of Hoyt, KS, died 

Sept. 12, 2004, at a Topeka care facility. 

She was born Nov. 2, 1915, in Davenport, 

Iowa, the daughter of Joseph and Victoria 

Fliss Chanoux. 

She graduated from high school in 

Davenport. She lived with her husband, 

Jesse, in Springfield, Ill., during World 

War II and moved to Topeka in 1946. 

They moved to a farm northeast of Hoyt 

in 1958, where they owned a cattle ranch 

for many years. Mary also worked for 

the state of Kansas as an executive 

secretary for probation and paroles, and 

later for health and welfare. She served 

as clerk for sales for the NE Kansas 

Hereford Association. She was married 

to Jesse Michael Southard on September 

13, 1941, in Chicago. He survives. Other 

survivors include two daughters, Marilyn 

Rowland, Topeka and Janet Gartner, 

Spring, Texas; a brother, Eugene 

Chanoux, of Chicago; seven 

grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and

Not enough and too much: 

industry reacts to Canadian 

border rule change 

by Pete Hisey on 12/30/04 for 

Meatingplace.com 

USDA’s decision to adopt a final rule 

reopening the Canadian border to live 

Canadian cattle seems to have made no 

one happy. Proponents of keeping the 

border closed, like R-CALF USA, charge 

that USDA has been sloppy, unscientific 

and premature in adopting the rule. Proponents 

of opening the border say there 

are still too many limitations, such as the 

30-month age maximum, placed on trade. 

J. Patrick Boyle, president of the 

American Meat Institute, said in reaction, 

“Science and international beef and cattle 

trading guidelines set by the Office of 

International Epizootics (OIE) both say 

that the United States should permit 

imports of Canadian cattle regardless of 

age.” 

Bill Bullard, chief executive of R-CALF, 

also cited OIE, noting that while we have 

now classified Canada as a minimal-risk 

region, the OIE, essentially the 

international standards-setting body for 

disease regulation, has not classified 

Canada as such. He also said that the 30- 

month limit is far too high, and that for 

safety’s sake, the acceptable age should 

be much lower, closer to the Japanese 

standard of 20 months. 

Rosemary Mucklow, executive 

director of the National Meat Association, 

called the decision tantamount to 

“outsourcing our cattle slaughter industry. 

They will allow the meat from a 30-month 

old animal into the country, but not the 

actual animal.” She says that once NMA 

digests the entire rule, it may appeal to 

USDA to issue an emergency regulation 

allowing for import of cattle of all ages. 

Both sides will have 60 days after the 

rule is published on Jan. 4 to lobby 

Congress to overturn or modify it, and 

given the degree of unhappiness evident 

in the industry on Wednesday afternoon, 

there may be some bitter battles in 

Congress, as members with varying 

constituencies and interests battle it out. 

The rule will go into effect on March 7 

unless Congress takes explicit action to 

stop it. 

One implication of the rule is that other 

countries could quickly apply for minimalrisk 

status, and would have to live up to 

the same set of rules the USDA applied 

to Canada. While this rule is specific to 

Canada, other nations meeting the criteria 

could apply for their own rule. 

The rule is also set up to prohibit 

breeding cattle from being imported. All 

cattle imported must go directly by sealed 

conveyance directly to one, and only one, 

feedlot, and from there to a USDA-


million Canadian cattle expected to cross that the previous record was 1.7 million. American beef over their borders, and 

the border in the first 12 months after the That was in 2000, when the U.S. export Bullard asked, “Where is all this beef going 

rule takes effect will be easy for the market was virtually unlimited. Today, to go?” 

American market to absorb, Bullard noted dozens of countries refuse to allow 

certified slaughterhouse. That 

specification, along with clear, permanent 

branding of the cattle to make it clear that 

they are of Canadian origination, is meant 

to keep the two national herds from 

merging. 

R-CALF’s Bullard, however, noted that 

USDA is allowing a loophole. Although he 

had not had time to read the entire rule, 

he said that the indication is that rules 

about the removal and disposal of 

specified risk materials (SRMs) such as 

brains and the spinal column would be 

similar to those applicable to American 

cattle. That means that unless such a 

loophole is closed, some SRMs, in addition 

to blood, which is not an SRM, could be 

rendered into feed for poultry and the 

resultant poultry litter, possibly infected 

with prions from infected Canadian cattle. 

Litter could then be introduced to feed 

given to U.S. cattle. That in effect 

circumvents the ruminant-to-ruminant 

feed ban, Bullard said. 

Bullard also charged that “it is 

irresponsible of the agency to relax food 

safety guidelines” just as the United States 

is entering the final stages of negotiations 

with countries such as South Korea and 

Japan to open their markets to American 

beef again. 

As for USDA’s contention that the 2 

AMI launches suit against USDA 



The American Meat Institute has filed a 

lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in the 

District of Columbia demanding an end to 

the ban on the importation from Canada of 

cattle 30 months of age or older. In the 

complaint, the association charges that the 

ban on older cattle is “scientifically 

insupportable and is therefore arbitrary and 

capricious.” 



The Canadian Food Inspection Agency 

confirmed on Sunday, Jan. 2, that the 

suspected case of bovine spongiform 

encephalopathy found in an Alberta dairy 

cow has tested positive for the disease. 

The animal was about 8 years old and 

was born before the ban on bovine 

products in cattle feed was instituted. The 

discovery is not expected to endanger the 

recent decision by the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture to reopen the border to cattle 

under 30 months of age. 

In a statement released Monday morning, 

Ron DeHaven of USDA’s Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service said, “USDA 

AMI is making a fine distinction. It is not 

opposing the new rule on importation of 

cattle announced Wednesday; rather, it is 

challenging enforcement of the original 

May 2003 ban, which underlies the 

qualification in the newly published rule 

that only cattle under 30 months of age may 

be imported alive. Products from older cattle 

may be imported, however. 

That is leading to financial stress on 

American processors, according to Mark 

Canadian BSE case a positive 

remains confident that the animal and public 

health measures that Canada has in place, 

including the removal of specified risk 

material (SRMs) from the human food chain, 

a ruminant-to-ruminant feed ban, a national 

surveillance program and import 

restrictions, combined with existing U.S. 

domestic safeguards and additional 

safeguards announced as part of USDA’s 

BSE minimal-risk rule … provide the utmost 

protections to U.S. consumers and 

livestock.” 

He added that under the minimal-risk 

rule, Canada could have as many as 11 

confirmed cases of BSE and still be 

considered a minimal-risk country. 

Dopp, AMI senior vice president for 

regulatory affairs and general counsel. 

While he can’t quantify the damage with a 

hard number, Dopp charged that slaughter 

plants are “going dark” all over the country 

and that the government’s ban on older live 

cattle is forcing Canada to develop a 

slaughter industry that will compete with 

that of the United States. 

“The May 2003 border closing has 

caused Canada to expand its slaughtering 

capacity by building new plants and adding 

shifts to existing plants,” AMI said in a 

statement released to coincide with its 

press conference Thursday afternoon. 

“Meanwhile, many U.S. packers have been 

hit hard economically by short cattle 

supplies and high prices for lean beef and 

cows. And ultimately, the consumer has 

paid the price in the form of higher prices 

for beef and products made from beef.” 

AMI is asking the court to allow the 

importation of live cattle born after Canada 

instituted a ban on including ruminant parts 

in feed fed to its cattle in 1997. 

Dopp said that the potential BSE case 

announced by the Canadian government 

Thursday would have no effect on either 

the rule or AMI’s lawsuit.
