6 • HEREFORD AMERICA January 2005 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! — JBH Long-time Hereford Breeders Honored (continued from page 1) 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. ” --------------------------- (Editor’s note: The list provided by the AHA starts on page 8.
