Byron Bayers<br />
The winter<br />
weather has<br />
started to hit most<br />
of the nation now<br />
and with the snow<br />
and blizzard<br />
conditions it<br />
brings back the<br />
Byron Bayers<br />
memories of<br />
yesteryear and some of the<br />
experiences I have been through.<br />
After our fall sale many years<br />
ago, I was looking into where I had<br />
to deliver bulls. (I don’t know who<br />
the dumb guy was that thought if<br />
you delivered the bulls it would<br />
help people come to the sale. Well,<br />
we all fell into the trap and started<br />
to advertise delivery. Pretty soon<br />
everyone, to compete, did the same<br />
thing, so now it just takes away<br />
from the sale price and everyone is<br />
on even ground again, and this<br />
started probably 50 years ago.) We<br />
had sold a group of bulls that went<br />

Serving Commercial Cattlemen & Registered <strong>Hereford</strong> Breeders<br />
Hey, it’s the<br />
Christmas season<br />
here again and<br />
another year<br />
almost gone. We<br />
at <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
<strong>America</strong> are busy<br />
getting this issue<br />
out the door. It’s a big one and we<br />
want to thank all of our customers<br />
for their efforts in making our<br />
newspaper a success this last year.<br />
Our goal has always been to<br />
promote the <strong>Hereford</strong> breed to the<br />
livestock industry and <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
beef to the consumer. We feel<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s can give the beef<br />
producers of our industry several<br />
benefits that just aren’t promoted<br />
like they should be. I know that our<br />
beef industry is centered around the<br />
production of a quality end product<br />
— a consistent, taste-appealing<br />
nutritious product that the<br />
consumer desires and wants to<br />
Reno’s Western Nugget Sale<br />
Thrilling Event for Breeders<br />
The one-of-a-kind Western Nugget National <strong>Hereford</strong> Sale in Reno will bring a tear to the eye of any <strong>Hereford</strong> breeder and send<br />
a chill down the spine. In its 39th year, the sale is unique in that the cattle are paraded on stage at the Celebrity Show Room at<br />
John Ascuaga’s Nugget Casino. The big gold curtain opens to the auctioneer song and the crowd is greeted with a beautiful<br />
lineup of <strong>Hereford</strong> cattle. This year’s sale had only two bulls so the big Mrnak bull in the middle looks as though he is overseeing<br />
his harem. It’s a truly unique event and one that every <strong>Hereford</strong> breeder should see at least once in their lifetime. Thanks to John<br />
Ascuaga for his continued support in allowing the sale to continue at his casino. (Photo by Marc Hotchkiss)<br />
Rausch <strong>Hereford</strong>s: Making A Difference<br />

the family hospitality and friendships they 27 straight years, and on sale day you will see<br />

one of the largest generational teams of family<br />
Approaching their 50 th Anniversary Sale in members, all doing their part to make the day<br />

S.D. is unlike many of the industry’s top<br />
The family<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> families. Why is that you might say? To some the size of the Rausch family may<br />
seem to go on<br />
forever, but that’s<br />
because so many of<br />
them are involved<br />
in raising <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
cattle at Rausch<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s. William<br />
Rausch’s family<br />
consisted of 10<br />
children of which<br />
five sons, Gene,<br />
Duane, Harlan,<br />
Vern and Jerry<br />
grew up in the<br />
ranching business<br />
and there wasn’t<br />
much question<br />
what their future<br />

foundation type bred heifers<br />
Elkington’s is a line bred program for over 30 years, guaranteeing consistency<br />
and uniformity and the ultimate hybrid vigor (heterosis).<br />
Our bulls are never fed a hot concentrated feed. Our program is to develop<br />
our bulls slowly to two years old on rough range with their mothers until<br />
weaning, then on long hay and a small amount of oats to ensure that they<br />
have good sound feet and legs (feet are never trimmed and don’t need it) to<br />
ensure maximum fertility and long life. Our bulls are acclimated to the<br />
roughest conditions. They do well in the deserts of Wyoming or Nevada or<br />
your lush pasture. All who use our bulls are amazed at how long they live and<br />
how well their calves grow. They have a unique pedigree that will outcross on<br />
any line of cattle, Domestic or Canadian. Look these herd sire prospects over.<br />

looking for today. He has terrific EPD’s. We used<br />
the full brother on our heifers, his calves were born<br />
light and weaned off excellent. He is conservative<br />
marked with goggled eyes. He was ultrasounded<br />
and had an REA ratio of 109, IMF 137. Actual birth<br />

Woodcrest Polled <strong>Hereford</strong>s sell portion of 60 year cowherd<br />
Del & Ruth Wood, Woodcrest Farms,<br />
of Cresbard, SD have had to make that<br />
long dreaded decision to cut back the<br />
work load. Del started his life’s work<br />
60 years ago when his father bought<br />
him a <strong>Hereford</strong> heifer for a 4-H project.<br />
Del & Ruth have been in this<br />
partnership for over 50 years. They<br />
established a sizeable polled <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
cow herd and have merchandised many<br />
cattle at private treaty over the years.<br />
Herd bulls have always been selected<br />
from the front end of the production or<br />
consignment sale offerings they<br />
purchased from. The genetics & EPDs<br />
of the herd today attest to the quality<br />
offered. Present day herd sires include<br />
some of the proven lines today;<br />
Boulder, World Class, Boomer, Kodiak,<br />
Wrangler, Matrix and others.<br />
A young South Dakota couple, Reese<br />
& Elly Jo Wagner, are expanding their<br />
registered <strong>Hereford</strong> program by<br />
selecting all the ‘P’ & ‘R’ cows. These<br />
would be all the bred females born in<br />
2004 & 2005. Reese comes from a<br />
strong <strong>Hereford</strong> background family<br />
(Rick & Judy Wagner) who have always<br />
maintained a commercial <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
operation. Reese has shown <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
steers & heifers successfully in 4-H and<br />
at Junior <strong>Hereford</strong> Association field<br />
days events. From those registered<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> heifers came a productive<br />
cow herd and the selling of a few bulls<br />
at area consignment sales along with<br />
his top heifer calves. Another set of the<br />
Woodcrest Farms bred females have<br />
made the big move to southeast<br />
Nebraska. Duane & Karen Windhorst<br />

Bar Pipe Purchases Kallal Herd<br />
Bar Pipe Farms has put<br />
the finishing touches on its<br />
future plans with the<br />
purchase of the Kallal<br />
cowherd. The merging of<br />
the two great cowherds is<br />
the culmination of a vision<br />
set forth by the Cross<br />
family to expand the<br />
breeding base at Bar Pipe<br />
and to develop a practical management<br />
Woodcrest<br />
(continued from page 5)<br />
Syracuse, NE, are a well established<br />
registered <strong>Hereford</strong> family that saw the<br />
need to expand their cow herd. They<br />
took all of the ‘N’ (2003) cows as well<br />
as a portion of the bred heifers. The<br />
Windhorst family has hosted many<br />
sales over the years and will do so again<br />
on March 7 th <strong>2008</strong>. The purchase<br />
introduces more numbers and proven<br />
genetics for their cowherd.<br />
Del & Ruth Wood of Woodcrest<br />
Farms would like to thank the Wagners<br />
and the Windhorsts for making their<br />
selections from the Woodcrest herd.<br />
They do have some more bred females<br />
and the 2007 heifer calf crop still for<br />
sale.<br />
Both sales were brokered by Handel<br />
Marketing LLC, Art Handel of Rapid<br />
City, SD.<br />
system that focuses on the strengths of<br />
the <strong>Hereford</strong> Breed and the natural<br />
grazing potential on the ranch west of<br />
Okotoks.<br />
The “new” Bar Pipe has a rancherbased<br />
philosophy with the stockpiling<br />
of grass, an extended grazing period<br />
and cows that will calve on pasture in<br />
April and May. The ability to forage,<br />
doing ability and fertility will be key<br />
expectations of the cowherd just as<br />
those are important traits and strengths<br />
of the <strong>Hereford</strong> breed in the commercial<br />
cattle industry. Temperament will be<br />
another ongoing selection criterion at<br />
Bar Pipe.<br />
A core group of females representing<br />
solid foundation Bar Pipe breeding has<br />
been augmented by the addition of the<br />
top 2/3 of the Kallal <strong>Hereford</strong> Ranch<br />
cowherd and will number about 200<br />
head in total. Three Kallal bred bulls<br />
will also be joining the Bar Pipe<br />
program and will include featured herd<br />
(continued on page 12)<br />
Approximately 150 head of mostly registered<br />
2-10 year old spring calving cows<br />
Females from Baker,<br />

Gather to Discuss<br />
Certified <strong>Hereford</strong> Beef ®<br />
KANSAS CITY, Mo – Certified<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Beef ® (CHB) staff brought<br />
together some of the nation’s leading<br />
foodservice distributors recently to<br />
discuss key issues pertaining to growth<br />
of the CHB program. More than 25<br />
distributors that are currently selling the<br />
product convened in Orlando, Fla.<br />
The meeting theme was “Marketing<br />
the Brand” and featured guest speakers<br />
and product presentations as well as<br />
business discussions.<br />
Mick Welch, CHB Foodservice<br />
Director said that the group discussed<br />
parameters for product distribution,<br />
licensing agreements, customer needs<br />
and carcass utilization. “We challenged<br />
our distributor partners with the goal<br />
of increasing carcass utilization to 120<br />
lb. per carcass in foodservice.” Welch<br />
added that the licensing agreement<br />
discussions focused on setting<br />
parameters for distribution. “We need<br />
to be able to track the areas in which<br />
our product is being marketed, how it<br />
is being marketed and who the end user<br />
customers are. Foodservice is a high<br />

What a tremendous set of cows! We here at Fawcett’s Elm Creek Ranch feel very fortunate to be able to<br />
purchase the mature cows of one of the elite cowherds in the country. We would like to thank Roger and<br />
Judy Imig and Mike and Stacey Imig of Imig <strong>Hereford</strong>s for this opportunity. The hospitality and fellowship<br />
was great.<br />
With the marriage of Daniel and Kari this past summer and their desire to become involved with the<br />
ranch, the decision was made to add to the registered <strong>Hereford</strong> herd. The purchase of the Imig mature<br />
cows combined with our existing herd should give us approximately 350 horned and polled purebred<br />
cows. We ranch here in central South Dakota in hard grass country where annual rainfall can be very<br />
limited. We believe in cattle that are very strong maternally, udder quality is very important, have moderate<br />
birth weights with performance and carcass traits bred into them.<br />
Cattle is our business as we run another 550 commercial cows. We feel this keeps us in touch with the<br />
kind of cattle we need to breed to keep the commercial man as well as the purebred breeder in business. In<br />
addition, we breed and merchandize top end replacement heifers that are raised here on the ranch or are<br />
purchased from our past customers.<br />
We invite you to visit the ranch or stop and view our cattle at any of the shows and sales, we would be<br />
happy to tell you about our program.<br />
Thanks,<br />

saying goes, “The rest is history.” Roger<br />
married Judy Munn and the Imig herd<br />
started to grow. Living in eastern<br />
Nebraska, they soon decided that more<br />
grass and cows would require a move<br />
to bigger country. They moved to the<br />
Valentine, NE Sand Hills area in 1968<br />
and then on to north of Thedford, NE.<br />
In 1984 they purchased their present<br />
ranch north of Lakeside, NE. Today that<br />

CHB General Manager Arden<br />

key to a positive, recognized and<br />
powerful brand. “After our foodservice<br />
meeting, new orders are now coming<br />
in with greater breadth and depth of<br />
CHB cuts added to the distributors’<br />
lines. Underutilized cuts are finding a<br />
home now with some of our distributors<br />

distributors reported that their<br />
customers comment on the CHB<br />
product’s high quality palatability.<br />
“That’s what sells CHB to customers:<br />
the great eating experience that is truly<br />
something special and offers a<br />
consistent eating experience.”<br />
CHB officials said this was the firstever<br />

How much is a top end bull worth?<br />
Increase in pounds per calf as a result<br />
of a top performing bull.<br />
x<br />
Number of cows bred per year<br />
x<br />
Average selling price of calves for four years =<br />
Extra dollars you can pay for a better bull<br />
Example: A bull that will add 30 pounds x 4 years = 3,000<br />
pounds x $1.10 = $3,300.<br />
This bull is then worth $3,300 more than a bull who keeps<br />
your weaning weights the same.<br />
This is only half or less of the equation because you get the<br />
advantage of the replacement females. All good cattlemen<br />
that watch their cows know how much better those consistent<br />
top end cows do than herd average.<br />
Another big bonus is their fertility and longevity because these<br />
are worth more dollars than weaning weights.<br />
Another plus can be a result of selecting genetics out of programs<br />
that create labor efficiency in cows by having cows<br />
with good dispositions and quality udders.<br />

Fawcetts Purchase Imig Mature Cow Herd<br />
(continued from page 16)<br />
to 1909 when the first Fawcetts settled<br />
in central South Dakota in what has<br />
been known as Fawcett valley ever<br />
since. This is a much diversified area<br />
that produces a great deal of grains,<br />
grass and hay and is some of South<br />
Dakota’s most productive cow country.<br />
Today this ranch is known as Fawcett’s<br />
Elm Creek Ranch, which is owned and<br />
operated by three generations, all on the<br />
ranch, including Robert and Marjean,<br />
Keith and Cheryl, son Matt, two<br />
daughters Kris and Erin, and son Daniel<br />
and his new bride, Kari. This outfit has<br />
long been noted for selling high quality<br />
commercial feeder cattle, providing<br />
outstanding show steer prospects and<br />
specializing in the production and sale<br />
of top notch commercial bred heifers.<br />
The registered <strong>Hereford</strong> herd had its<br />
beginning through the kids. <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
heifers purchased to show for Junior<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> and 4-H (with most coming<br />
from the Gerald Hoffman and Son<br />
herd). The Fawcetts have gained a<br />
reputation in consignment sales across<br />
South Dakota and at the <strong>America</strong>n<br />
Royal for the quality <strong>Hereford</strong>s they<br />
bring and have been highly successful<br />
at Junior National shows across the<br />
country for the past decade. With the<br />
third generation now becoming a fulltime<br />
partner on the ranch it was decided<br />
to expand the registered seed stock end.<br />
The addition of these 250 foundation<br />
cows from Imigs along with the 100<br />
registered <strong>Hereford</strong>s already in<br />
production here will make Fawcetts a<br />
major contributor of <strong>Hereford</strong> seed<br />
stock to the registered and commercial<br />
industry for the entire country.<br />
The Imigs are extremely pleased to<br />
have their cow herd stay intact and go<br />
onward to serve as a foundation for the<br />
future of the Fawcett family. The buyers<br />
The Imig cows at their new home in the Ree Hills.<br />
are provided with the 60 years of<br />
genetic expertise put together by Roger<br />
Imig.<br />
The Fawcetts will celebrate their<br />
century on the same location in 2009<br />
and are entertaining the possibility of<br />
hosting a production sale at that time.<br />
Congratulations to all for letting this<br />
monumental transaction take place.<br />
The sale was brokered by Art Handel,<br />

into eastern Montana, a whole truck<br />
load, and they would have to be<br />
delivered over a 500 mile range of<br />
Montana. I set the schedule up for a day<br />
in November, during the week, and<br />
asked a friend who was in the <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
business years ago, to go with me. His<br />
name was Remi Monforton. I loaded<br />
the bulls about 3:00 AM, picked up<br />
Remi and headed down the road. The<br />
truck was a Ford with a 20 foot bed on<br />
it and was really underpowered, but<br />
was dependable and had a good heater<br />

including color photos of cattle.<br />
in it. We delivered bulls along the way<br />
and things went along pretty well until<br />
early night when we were east of<br />
Billings and the weather started to turn<br />
bad. The temperature dropped to about<br />
10 degrees below zero and the wind<br />
was picking up. We left the interstate<br />
at Miles City and headed toward<br />
Jordan, then onto Circle, to our final<br />
destination at Earl Jensen’s ranch.<br />
I don’t know if you have ever been<br />
to Jordan, but that is an awful lonely<br />
country. Fly across it at night and you<br />
can hardly see a light. Not many people<br />
are on these roads in the daytime but at<br />
night hardly any, usually! We hit the<br />
Visitors always welcome<br />
blizzard at Jordan, and the snow was<br />
coming down rapidly, the temperature<br />
was down to 20 below and the<br />
visibility was about 100 yards at times,<br />
and the wind was about 30 knots. I<br />
pulled up behind a snowplow and told<br />
Remi, “I am going to follow this guy<br />
as he probably knows where he is<br />
going.” Remi thought that was a good<br />
idea. As we were going down the<br />
highway about 25 miles per hour<br />
behind the snow plow, I noticed in my<br />
rear view mirror, that a bunch of cars<br />
were following us. After about ten<br />
miles of this the guy in the snowplow<br />
I guess, decided to go home for the<br />
since<br />

night, and pulled off on a country road.<br />
I stopped to think about this next plan<br />
as I could hardly see the road, and got<br />
out of the truck. The guy behind me<br />
came around the truck and said, “My<br />
wife would like you to come back to<br />
the car and talk to her.” I said why does<br />
she want to talk to me? He said you<br />
will know in a minute. I walked around<br />
the truck and back to the car, and the<br />
woman rolled down her window and<br />
said, “I am very, very pregnant and will<br />
give birth pretty soon, so please don’t<br />
leave us out here in this blizzard! You<br />
wouldn’t do that to us would you?<br />
Please lead us into Circle.” I said,<br />
“Lady, I will not leave you in this storm<br />
and if I can get you to Circle, I will. It<br />
is about 50 miles yet and I do not know<br />
how bad the storm will be but I won’t<br />
leave you.” She smiled and said thanks.<br />
We counted the cars behind us at that<br />
time and we counted 26 sets of lights.<br />
By that time probably ten different<br />
drivers had come to get into the<br />
conversation, all of them men. I felt like<br />
Admiral Bird as the South Pole, but I<br />
had no dogs. We journeyed down the<br />
road at 20 to 30 miles per hour, as the<br />
storm would allow, and after about two<br />
and one half hours we entered Circle,<br />
with our convoy behind us, where I had<br />
a room reservation. All of the cars<br />
following us scattered out in Circle but<br />
the car behind us followed us to the<br />
motel. I went to check in to the motel<br />
and the lady at the motel said we are<br />
all sold out of rooms but we are holding<br />
your reservation Mr. Bayers. The face<br />
of the expectant father dropped, and<br />
said, “no more rooms,” to his wife. She<br />
started to cry and I said, “Lady, take<br />
my room, I will find a place to stay.”<br />
She and her husband both thanked<br />
us and said goodbye, and with that we<br />
left Circle to hit the storm and the road<br />
again, about 15 more miles to Jensen’s.<br />
About midnight we rolled into Jensen’s<br />
ranch and unloaded the bulls. Earl and<br />
Betty found us a room in their house.<br />
What a trip and what a night. I often<br />
wondered how the lady got along with<br />
her baby that night and where they<br />
came from or where they were going.<br />
We did not get their names, nor did I<br />
give them mine and I will never know,<br />
but I can just imagine in my thoughts<br />
how when this baby was to story-telling<br />
age her mother would tell her about the<br />
night in the great storm in Montana<br />
when a couple of guys in a cattle truck<br />
led them from harms way to a motel<br />
where they were safe. I think the baby<br />
would like that story, don’t you?<br />
I recently had a call from the lady of<br />
a prominent Canadian herd. She was<br />
not pleased with my article about the<br />
Canadian cattle finally being delivered<br />
to the U.S. She misunderstood the<br />
intent of my statement. If other breeders<br />
did too, let me re-explain.<br />
The Canadian <strong>Hereford</strong> industry has<br />
sold cattle to the United States during the<br />
border’s closure, usually saying that they<br />
would keep the cattle until the border<br />

opens, thinking that would be soon, but<br />
it went on for five years. Semen and<br />
embryos were allowed to be shipped<br />
so that was the way the U.S. breeders<br />
were using their Canadian genetics.<br />
Some of the prominent breeders in<br />
Canada told me that even though they<br />
were happy to keep the cattle to<br />
accommodate the sale, it was getting<br />
to be somewhat of a problem to keep<br />
them fed, safe, and find a pen for them.<br />
When the border did open, each person<br />
involved, seller and buyer, wanted the<br />
cattle delivered. In no way did I mean<br />
to imply that the cattle were not really<br />
sold, I just meant to say they could not<br />
be delivered because the border was<br />
closed to them.<br />
Deadline<br />
for the<br />

My friend Jay Pearson from Idaho<br />
told me a couple of years ago, “I need<br />
to have the bull I bought in my pasture,<br />
because on our ranch natural breeding<br />
is our way of operation.” Now Jay’s<br />
bull can come to his new home. I am<br />
sorry if I did not explain this correctly<br />
in the last issue.<br />
We sold our <strong>Hereford</strong> steers this last<br />
week at the Beaverhead Livestock<br />
Auction in Dillon. The steers weighed<br />
670# after a 50 mile haul. We were<br />
behind some of the Angus at the sale<br />
about 5-6 cents per pound. We did have<br />
a lot of people comment how nice a set<br />
of steers they were. I contacted the<br />
CHB buyer in the area but our group<br />
was too small for him and he did not<br />
bother to find more <strong>Hereford</strong>s to go<br />
with them, even though I told him I<br />
knew of others in the area. Same old<br />
story there. The people at Beaverhead<br />
Livestock were honest with me and did<br />
their best to sell them well. Auctioneer<br />
John Anderson will not let them cut the<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s out of the groups and so now<br />
they don’t ask, as they know the answer.<br />
Owner John Erb saw that the cattle<br />
were sold well. Thanks to this group,<br />
as not everyone is working with us, but<br />
let us know the good guys in the auction<br />
business that will work with us<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> people to get a good price for<br />
the cattle.<br />
Some of us will be at the National<br />
Western in Denver — see you there!<br />

Marc’s Editorial...<br />
(continued from page 1)<br />
consume. The trick for the<br />
manufacturer of the product is to stay<br />
in business and make a profit. In<br />
visiting with many purebred and<br />
commercial producers the last few<br />
months it seems that we all want to<br />
produce that product (and that is viable<br />
goal) but can we stay in business long<br />
enough to do that? Our input costs over<br />
the last few years have risen<br />
tremendously and we need to come up<br />
with new and innovative ways to offset<br />
those input costs. In the general aviation<br />
industry back in the early ‘70s Piper<br />
Aircraft was facing a similar problem<br />
with the production of their aircraft.<br />
They built a very reliable aircraft model<br />
that is still thought of as one of their<br />
better aircraft even today but<br />
discontinued its production due to high<br />
manufacturing costs. The model that<br />
took its place was cheaper to build and<br />
maintain but didn’t have the<br />
performance or the quality the<br />
discontinued model had. Even though<br />
the change in model production kept<br />
them in business their competitors like<br />
Beech and Mooney were able to gain<br />
more of a market share for high<br />
performance singles even though the<br />
Piper was priced cheaper.<br />
I guess what I’m trying to say in<br />
comparing Piper’s production change<br />
with the production of beef is this. The<br />
beef industry in the ‘70s and ‘80s<br />
needed to provide a product that stayed<br />
competitive with pork, chicken and<br />
fish. The method used was to increase<br />
production (volume) so that the end<br />
product was more competitive in price<br />
with the other proteins. In so doing we<br />
gave up consistency and quality. Now,<br />
the beef industry, especially the<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>, is paying for that gaff.<br />
Hindsight is always better than<br />
foresight, if we would have focused<br />
on production costs, efficiency and<br />
quality all at the same time instead of<br />
increasing our product volume alone<br />
the <strong>Hereford</strong> would still be at or near<br />
the top. It’s great that we are trying to<br />
improve our end product’s consistency<br />
and quality. But it seems like we are<br />
forgetting that we used to provide a<br />
consistent, quality product years ago.<br />
Let’s get back to that type of product,<br />
consistent and high quality, but this<br />
time we need to work harder on<br />
cheapening the input costs. We need to<br />
be more efficient in producing our<br />
product.<br />
I believe if we work on promoting<br />
the natural benefits of the <strong>Hereford</strong>,<br />
fertility, longevity, feed efficiency and<br />
disposition, and use these benefits<br />
correctly we can greatly improve the<br />
value of the <strong>Hereford</strong> within the beef<br />
industry. I have visited with several<br />
producers that have kept the <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
traits in perspective and they have very<br />
little problem producing a product the<br />
consumer desires in consistency and<br />
quality. We know the public likes our<br />
end product but we need to promote<br />
to manufacturers (the beef producers)<br />
that the <strong>Hereford</strong> is an economical and<br />
beneficial resource to use for product<br />
production.<br />
I attended an annual production sale<br />
recently with a different method of<br />
selling each animal. They had the sale<br />
animals on display for all to see before<br />
the sale but during the sale the animal<br />
was shown on TV screens instead of<br />
being run into the ring. I had phone calls<br />
from people during the sale wanting my<br />
opinion on a specific lot. They were<br />
easy to go and locate – they were in<br />
the same place as they were before the<br />
sale. Another advantage was that less<br />
stress was put upon each animal<br />
because they didn’t have to come<br />
through the ring. We’ve all seen some<br />
real interesting action due to a bull or<br />
cow getting excited or scared due to<br />
all the noise, the auctioneer’s chant and<br />
ring men yelling, and people pushing<br />
cattle up the chute trying to keep the<br />
sale clipping along. Hey, I liked this new<br />
way! It just takes more planning up<br />
front and someone committed to doing<br />
it.<br />
At one of the many production sales<br />
I’ve been to this season I heard<br />
someone say, “Genetics are no better<br />
than the bull’s ability to deliver them.”<br />
How true! Every one of us needs to<br />
keep that in mind as we are choosing<br />
animals to purchase or to sell. Every<br />
animal marketed having structural,<br />
genetic or production problems, does<br />
not help our cause. Be tough on your<br />
evaluations and sifting!<br />
Jill and I have been making plans for<br />
the NWSS in Denver. We plan on being<br />
there and look forward to all the visiting<br />
and viewing of cattle in the Yards and<br />
on the Hill. We enjoy meeting people<br />
and making friends and would love to<br />
visit with you about <strong>Hereford</strong>s, or<br />
anything else for that matter.<br />
Around here we enjoy the occasional<br />
fresh turkey (emphasis on occasional)<br />
but what we have come to enjoy is a<br />
good <strong>Hereford</strong> Prime Rib. I even get<br />
orders for <strong>Hereford</strong> loins from friends<br />
and neighbors for the Christmas<br />
season. If I don’t get any for them they<br />
have a habit of showing up at our place,<br />
they know that sometime during the<br />
Christmas - New Year’s season we’ll<br />
be having a great prime rib! People like<br />
eating beef that was raised for its eating<br />
quality. Hope you enjoyed yours, or<br />
your turkey, during this special season.<br />
— Marc<br />
Merry Christmas!<br />

Rausch <strong>Hereford</strong>s: Making A Difference<br />
(continued from page 1)<br />
would hold – it was to raise <strong>Hereford</strong>s<br />
on their north central South Dakota<br />
ranch. But interestingly, the early<br />
generation has carried that enthusiasm<br />
and love for raising cattle and farming<br />
the land on to the extensive third and<br />
fourth generations, a feat that is not easy<br />
in agriculture today.<br />
Gene lost his life in the Korean war<br />
and Duane passed away nine years ago,<br />
but the remaining three brothers along<br />
with Duane’s sons (Rick and Gary) and<br />
two of Vern’s sons (Shannon and Joel)<br />
are the core group in the operation<br />
today — four of the seven of the core<br />
group are South Dakota State<br />
University graduates. These seven men<br />
lead the daily efforts around Rausch<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s, but there is an influence of<br />
the entire extended family seen<br />
throughout the ranching operation as<br />
well.<br />
“This is a family operation and we<br />
all help where we are needed,” says<br />
Jerry.<br />
“No matter if the ideas come from<br />
young or older family members all ideas<br />
are given thoughts by the others, some<br />
may get amended before implemented<br />
but it is a team approach,” says Harlan.<br />
The family is extensive enough that<br />
the family members represent many of<br />
the occupations found in a typical small<br />
South Dakota town including farmers,<br />
accountants, lawyers, computer<br />
programmers, mechanics, teachers,<br />
meat salesmen, doctors and the list<br />
goes on. All of these family members<br />
play a role in making Rausch <strong>Hereford</strong>s<br />
what it is today. For example, on sale<br />
day the full team is back in Hoven,<br />
filling duties such as clerking the sale,<br />
setting up panels, parking cars, serving<br />
lunch or whatever duty is needed. In<br />
total, 18 family members have cattle<br />
on ownership at the ranch.<br />
Family gatherings such as baptisms,<br />
family reunions and graduations bring<br />
most of the group back together but<br />
the seven core members are responsible<br />
for carrying out the main activities that<br />
keep the ranch thriving and thus<br />
communication is essential. The<br />
management team meets regularly in<br />
what they refer to as ‘bull pen sessions’<br />
to sort out the daily, weekly or year<br />
long goals of the operation.<br />
In order to make an operation of this<br />
size work, “you must share the same<br />
vision,” says Gary.<br />
Shannon sums up the family<br />
involvement as, “we all have a<br />
commitment to God, family, cattle and<br />
our customers. That’s what makes it<br />
work.”<br />
Joel refers to sale day as “a long day,<br />
but not long enough”. With all the work<br />
to be done it can be a long, tiring day,<br />
but trying to visit with repeat<br />
customers, other family members and<br />
friends, its just not a long enough day,<br />
he describes.<br />
The family is bound together by<br />
information, work and interest<br />
concludes Shannon.<br />
The cattle<br />
Enduring the times is what Rausch<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s has done and where they have<br />
demonstrated their success. Each<br />
decade has brought different cultures<br />
and challenges in the industry. Vern<br />
describes the times during the ’50s and<br />
’60s, when customers came three<br />
weeks ahead of the sale to look at the<br />
cattle, then again the week before the<br />
sale and again early on sale day. But<br />
today with all the technologies at hand,<br />
customers come five minutes before<br />
the sale, with their animals picked out<br />
and performance data already analyzed.<br />
Jerry reiterates the changing<br />
marketplace in the more recent decades,<br />
describing the roaring times for<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s in the ’70s, the loss of<br />
market share in the ’80s due to the<br />
Continental influence and the leveling<br />
off years in the ’90s. However, from<br />
2000 till now, Rausch’s have witnessed<br />
a gradual increase in market share.<br />
Marketing<br />
changes have<br />
also occurred<br />
over these<br />
decades. The<br />
Rausch family<br />
now sees many<br />
of their bulls sold<br />
to black cow<br />
herds when just<br />
three decades<br />
ago most all bulls<br />
were sold back<br />
into <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
cow herds.<br />
“Customers are<br />
Jerry, the primary marketer sometimes spends sunup until dark<br />
checking cows. His wife Vicki goes along at times to take pictures.<br />

(continued from page 26)<br />
The family sells 100 bulls and 200<br />
heifers in their annual spring sale the<br />
third Monday in February.<br />
The honors<br />
One of this <strong>Hereford</strong> family’s<br />
greatest honors has been their<br />
continuous dominance in the AHA’s<br />
Dam of Distinction program. A program<br />
where cows must have produced at<br />
least three calves, meeting breeding<br />
interval and performance criteria and<br />
produce progeny with a 205-day<br />
adjusted weaning weight ratio of at<br />
least 105.<br />
Rausch <strong>Hereford</strong>s has had more<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> cows named to this esteemed<br />
listing of maternal matriarchs than any<br />
other breeder in the past 25 years. In<br />
2007, they topped the list with 70 cows.<br />
Just how does a <strong>Hereford</strong> breeder<br />
accomplish this? The Rausch team<br />
speaks humbly on how they have<br />
reached this milestone and say that it<br />
just has to do with the basics.<br />
The cow herd breeding program is<br />
all natural with no artificial<br />
insemination incorporated and<br />
designed to be in sync with nature<br />
describes the family team. This system<br />
compliments the fertility of the cow<br />
they believe. “The two-year-old heifers<br />
are bred timely and in the right<br />
condition,” says Jerry and Rick adds<br />
that “The selection for maternal traits<br />
in the overall program has also added<br />
to this success.”<br />
The cow herd is managed similar to<br />
that of a commercial cow herd and<br />
selection pressures omit cattle that are<br />
outliers in any one trait. Bull selection<br />
is also important as the bloodlines are<br />
studied extensively, considering visual<br />
as well as performance and EPD<br />
parameters that will fit what the Rausch<br />
cowherd needs at the time.<br />
“We have to consider EPDs because<br />
we have to keep our customers in mind<br />
and EPDs are important to our<br />
customers,” says Jerry.<br />
The family was also most recently<br />
the recipient of the 2007 South Dakota<br />
Seedstock Producer of the Year award.<br />
Their involvement in state and national<br />
associations have been all inclusive and<br />
to list all their leadership and volunteer<br />
roles would be nearly endless.<br />
The future<br />
With more than 50 years of beef<br />
cattle production under their belt, what<br />
does an operation like Rausch<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s think about the future?<br />
The Rausches have proven to take<br />
on new challenges and industry<br />
changes as fast or faster than many<br />
operations. They were the first<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> breeders to incorporate video<br />
auction viewing of their bull sale. The<br />
online coverage provided by<br />
DVAuction allowed bull and female<br />
buyers unable to attend the sale to bid<br />
and view the sale from home.<br />
“We’ve had great response to the<br />
online viewing and it hasn’t hurt our<br />
crowd at all,” says Vern. “We need to<br />
keep the customer in mind and provide<br />
them with options that work for them<br />
as well.”<br />
In 2007 they joined in the “Mile High<br />
Sale” held in conjunction with the<br />
Denver National Western Stock Show<br />
with a pick of their female herd and<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
have consigned the <strong>2008</strong> sale with that<br />
same option. This was a new marketing<br />
tool for the family.<br />
Rick is optimistic in his future view.<br />
“I’d predict the return of cross breeding<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
to increase productivity in the industry,<br />
this return will enhance the value of<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s and stimulate growth of the<br />
breed.”<br />
“The <strong>Hereford</strong> breed has gone<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

through lots of changes in the last 20<br />
years. The fertility, temperament,<br />
hardiness and just easy for our young<br />
family members to be around kind of<br />
cattle – that’s why we have not gone<br />
away from <strong>Hereford</strong>s,” says Jerry.<br />
Vern sees a continuous challenge<br />
creating pull through demand for our<br />
customers’ feeder cattle. Therefore,<br />
they have taken advantage of the great<br />
pheasant hunting in central South<br />
Dakota and invite feedlot owners,<br />
packer sales staff, grocery chain<br />
retailers and food distributors to the<br />
ranch. In addition to a hunting<br />
opportunity, the family teaches these<br />
guests about management practices that<br />
producers do to ensure that <strong>Hereford</strong>s<br />
continue to be the beef of choice for<br />
eating experiences. Information<br />
presented in these sessions also include:<br />
live demonstrations of ultra sounding<br />
for carcass quality, balancing of feed<br />
rations, bull and cow mating and cattle<br />
handling procedures. The bottom line<br />
is educating those who influence the<br />
purchase of <strong>Hereford</strong> genetics and thus<br />
in the end offering additional value to<br />
Rausch <strong>Hereford</strong> bull customers.<br />
demonstrate the depth of the Rausch<br />
program and the future potential for the<br />
family. The family speaks often of<br />
being blessed with good neighbors, a<br />
great community, strong faith and a love<br />
for <strong>Hereford</strong> cattle.<br />
“Little things are what make big<br />
things happen, says Vern. Staying<br />
focused and perseverance leads to<br />
one’s ability to achieve goals.”<br />

The Difference<br />
Making the difference with strong<br />
family values and commitment,<br />
outstanding breeding herd goals and<br />
successes and a sharp eye for the future<br />
Rausch Forecast for<br />
Cattle Industry:<br />
1) High tech breeding programs<br />
will flourish as well as all natural<br />
breeding programs. Cattle will<br />
continue proving their<br />
performance and efficiency.<br />
2) High input costs such as<br />
labor, fuel and high tech costs will<br />
keep them in balance.<br />
3) Some cattle will continue to<br />
be over promoted.<br />
4) Communication of<br />
information up and down the beef<br />
chain will improve and a one size<br />
fits all animal will come closer to<br />
reality.<br />
5) Technology will continue to<br />
improve in selecting cattle that are<br />
desired by all segments of the<br />
beef chain.<br />
6) Electronic animal<br />
identification will improve and be a<br />
big asset in the monitoring of<br />
performance of cattle.<br />
7) Consumers will be able to<br />
dictate more what type of cattle<br />
will be raised by what they are<br />
willing to pay more for or not pay<br />
for.<br />
8) Breeders will be paying<br />
closer attention to how their cattle<br />
perform in the feedlots and on the<br />
rail.<br />
9) Cattle shows will be forced to<br />
become more performance and<br />
efficiency oriented.<br />
10) DNA will become more<br />
affordable in identifying progeny<br />
thus allowing breeders to use<br />
multiple bulls in a pasture and still<br />
measure performance data.<br />

Final Farewell<br />
Wade Alan Hanson<br />
Wade Alan Hanson was born in<br />
Mobridge, South Dakota to Roger and<br />
Judy Hanson on October 8, 1965. He<br />
attended school in Pollock, SD and was<br />
baptized and confirmed at Pollock<br />
Lutheran Church. His upbringing with<br />
his siblings, Troy and LaNae, was<br />
amongst the best people God ever made.<br />
Cancer ended his mortal life early, but<br />
his eternal life continues in heaven! One<br />
day soon he shall see you again. God is<br />
good.<br />
Many blessings filled his years<br />
including meeting his precious wife,<br />
Sandra, in college. They were married<br />
in 1989. Wade was also blessed with a<br />
father and mother-in-law, Jim and Jolene<br />
Mitzel, who have provided love and<br />
support whenever needed. They were<br />
blessed with triplets, Taylor, Davis and<br />
Alexis in 1993. God sent James to them<br />
in 2004 when they adopted him from<br />
Kazakhstan. While there, God<br />
introduced them to Jacob and he joined<br />
the family in 2005. There has been no<br />
earthly joy greater to Wade than his<br />
wonderful family!<br />
He went to work for Lintex<br />
Corporation (now Encompass Group),<br />
a distributor of healthcare supplies, in<br />
1988. It is the only company he ever<br />
worked for. Wade’s co-workers<br />
supported the family through many good<br />
years and throughout the battle with<br />
cancer. Many great people and dear<br />
30 • www.herefordamerica.com HEREFORD AMERICA • <strong>January</strong> <strong>2008</strong><br />
friends are employed by this company.<br />
Wade’s faith in Jesus has been<br />
maturing for many years. As he aged and<br />
dealt with mortality, it is very apparent<br />
that faith in Jesus is the only thing in<br />
life that truly matters.<br />
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the<br />
Lord make His face shine upon you and<br />
be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face<br />
toward you and give you peace.”<br />

Werk, Brandon Garrison, Don Nash,<br />
Dave Wagner, Kelly Prendiville and<br />
Chuck Deutscher. Organist was Janene<br />
Spatz with special music by Donny and<br />
Roseanne Young.<br />
Donald Wagner was born on<br />
December 6, 1919, on the family<br />
homestead near Ralph, SD, the son of<br />
Andrew and Mathilda (Kurtenacker)<br />
Wagner. He was raised on the family<br />
ranch and attended school at Clark<br />
School through the eighth grade. Don’s<br />
formal education was cut short due to<br />
the Depression and his mother’s cancer.<br />
In later years, Don always said he<br />
graduated from the “School of Hard<br />
Knocks”. Before he was drafted into the<br />
United States Army he worked for the<br />
Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC<br />
Camp) to assist in the building of Orman<br />
Dam at Belle Fourche, SD.<br />
He entered the Army in May of 1941<br />
where he served his country in World<br />
War II as 2 nd Lt. in the Infantry of the 6 th<br />
Ranger Battalion. He was one of the 121<br />
hand-selected US troops that slipped<br />
behind enemy lines in the Philippines.<br />
During this mission they rescued 513<br />
Prisoners of War, some of which were<br />
the last survivors of the infamous Bataan<br />
Death March. In October of 1945 he was<br />
honorably discharged from the Army.<br />
Don met Leah Deutscher in 1945 and<br />
they were united in marriage on May 29,<br />
1946 at St. Eulalia’s Catholic Church.<br />
After their marriage they lived on the<br />
Wagner Ranch, which they purchased in<br />
partnership with his brother Joe.<br />
Don was elected to the Harding<br />
County Commission in 1967 and served<br />
on the Commission for the next 37 years.<br />
During this time he was elected<br />
Chairman of the Commission and served<br />
in this capacity from 1975-1985. He was<br />
elected President of the South Dakota<br />
State Commissioners Association and<br />
was Chairman of the Black Hills Council<br />
of Local Governments. He also served<br />
on the State Water Board and the local<br />
school board.<br />
Don and Leah enjoyed traveling and<br />
visited many places around the world<br />
such as New Zealand, the Vatican, Alaska<br />
and Hawaii. Don enjoyed playing a good<br />
game of poker, visiting with friends,<br />
talking politics, telling jokes, working<br />
cattle and farming and he was successful<br />
at all. Don always had time for his family,<br />
especially his grandchildren. Don was a<br />
devout Catholic who strongly supported<br />
his church community.<br />
Don will be missed by his family;<br />

International Livestock Exposition in<br />

can tell you exactly how he placed and<br />
also the placing of the entire team. Also,<br />
in his 4-H years he showed a <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
steer in Denver. The only means of<br />
transportation was by train. Can you<br />
imagine traveling all the way to Denver<br />
with you and your steer in a box car?<br />
He remembers it was a very cold trip.<br />
However, the trip was not in vain as he<br />
captured the reserve Grand Champion<br />
showmanship award that year.<br />
He loves and is very dedicated to the<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> breed. His spouse, Delores<br />
mentioned that his first love was his<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Cattle, and she came second.<br />
However, she mentioned they have<br />
been married for 50 years so she knows<br />
she is also loved.<br />

Researchers at Adelaide University<br />
in Australia have identified a gene that<br />
explains a large increase in retail beef<br />
yield. While the gene, called myostatin<br />
F94L, isn’t the only gene that<br />
influences retail beef yield, it has a large<br />
effect. Homozygous animals have 13%<br />
larger ribeye areas and 4% more total<br />
retail yield, according to the research.<br />
The gene is most commonly found in<br />
Limousin cattle, researchers say.<br />
According to the North <strong>America</strong>n<br />
Limousin Foundation (NALF), the<br />
gene’s high-yielding form occurs in<br />
83% of the Limousin breed, meaning<br />
68% of Limousin animals are<br />
homozygous for the trait and 28% are<br />
Organized Efforts Result<br />
in Successful <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
Feeder Calf Sale<br />
More than 600 age, source and health<br />
verified <strong>Hereford</strong>s and <strong>Hereford</strong>crosses<br />
brought more than $20,000 in<br />
premiums for more than 34 consignors<br />
to the first Greater Midwest Certified<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Feeder Calf Sale Dec. 6.<br />
The Certified <strong>Hereford</strong> Beef® (CHB)<br />
and <strong>Hereford</strong> Verified eligible calves<br />
from eight states – Illinois, Indiana,<br />
Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri,<br />
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and<br />
Wisconsin – were sold at the Carthage<br />
Livestock Sale Barn in Carthage, Ill.<br />
An analysis of Illinois Department of<br />
Agriculture data revealed that<br />
compared to the week’s Illinois auction<br />
average, some consignors earned on<br />
average, an additional $57.50 per head<br />
by participating in organized marketing<br />
efforts, bringing together the numbers<br />
and verification that feeders demand.<br />
Here are examples of the prices on<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> and Baldy steers in this sale:<br />
105 <strong>Hereford</strong>s, 509#, $1.16/#.<br />

Sonoma Mountain<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s Honored<br />
The California Beef cattle<br />
Improvement Association (CBCIA)<br />
recently recognized Jim, Marcia,<br />
Bobby and Jamie Mickelson of<br />
Sonoma Mountain <strong>Hereford</strong>s, Santa<br />
Rosa, as its seedstock producer of<br />
the year. The Mickelsons manage<br />
about 120 head of registered<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> mother cows and 50<br />
recipient females that are used in<br />
their embryo transfer program. The<br />
family markets ranch-raised bulls at<br />
its annual production sale. Sonoma<br />
Mountain uses the HerdMaster<br />
computer program, allowing them<br />
a direct link to the AHA. All<br />
registrations are done online, as well<br />
as submissions of performance data.<br />
The Mickelsons are active in the<br />
AHA and the California-Nevada<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Association.<br />
Aussie Scientists Find Muscling Gene<br />
heterozygous. “This gene appears to<br />
explain a much larger proportion of the<br />
genetic variation of the (retail yield)<br />
trait than any of the currently available<br />
gene markers for marbling, tenderness<br />
or feed efficiency,” says Alex<br />
McDonald, general manager of the<br />
Limousin Society in Australia. “The<br />
discovery of what appears to be a major<br />
gene, which can be used to increase<br />
retail beef yield in all breeds of cattle<br />
throughout the world, is an exciting<br />
breakthrough.” Negotiations are<br />
underway with an Australian laboratory<br />
to provide a commercial gene test for<br />
the F94L modification.<br />

Gordon Stephenson Recipient of Canadian Western<br />
Agribition Jim Lewthwaite Award<br />
Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) has named<br />
Gordon Stephenson of Calgary, AB (formally of<br />
Qu’Appelle, SK), as the recipient of the prestigious<br />
Jim Lewthwaite Award for 2007. The award, named<br />
in honour of one of the founders of Canadian Western<br />
Agribition, pays tribute to individuals, organizations<br />
or companies who promote Canadian Western<br />
Agribition internationally.<br />
Stephenson has been inextricably bound to<br />
Agribition for over three decades. Stephenson was<br />
Agribition’s General Manager for a five year period<br />
from 1977-1982; acted as a sponsor representative and<br />
served in a volunteer capacity as CWA President in<br />
Gordon Stephenson<br />
1991 and 1992. During his official tenures, and more<br />
recently in his current role as General Manager of the Canadian <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
Association, Stephenson has expanded Agribition’s marketing position globally<br />
by actively promoting the show as the premier opportunity to assess and access<br />
Canadian beef genetics.<br />
In 2007 alone, Stephenson will host international visitors from Brazil,<br />
Argentina, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and Sweden. Fittingly, Stephenson’s<br />
award was presented at the annual CWA International Reception held at the<br />
Casino Regina Show Lounge.<br />
Montie Soules Receives<br />
Canadian <strong>Hereford</strong> Ambassador Award<br />
The Canadian <strong>Hereford</strong> Association’s Ambassador Award recognizes<br />
persons, family operations, or businesses that are non-residents of Canada,<br />
and/or non-members, which have made a major contribution to the promotion<br />
of Canadian <strong>Hereford</strong> Genetics. We are proud to award Montie Soules of the<br />
Star Lake Cattle Ranch with this honour for 2007.<br />
“Montie Soules has become the only <strong>America</strong>n cattle breeder who’s treated<br />
like a Canadian,” in the words of cattle marketer Ted Serhienko, owner of T<br />
Bar C Cattle Company and publisher of <strong>Hereford</strong>s Today. “Montie is<br />
recognized here as a competitor, a judge, a bidder and buyer, and a friend.<br />
He’s one of few <strong>America</strong>n breeders who attend the big <strong>Hereford</strong> shows in<br />
Toronto and at Agribition on a regular basis.”<br />

National Champions, the ranch and<br />
cowherd managed by Montie Soules has<br />
garnered more Premier Breeder honours<br />
at top North <strong>America</strong>n shows than any<br />
other breeding establishment.<br />
He’s also a man who appreciates his<br />
roots, in the words of auctioneer Colonel<br />
Eddie Sims. “There’s no aspect of the<br />
industry he hasn’t experienced,” says<br />
Sims, “from fence builder, to fitter, to<br />
student, to owner, boss and partner.<br />
That’s what makes him a leader.” He’s also<br />
a master marketer.<br />
Montie grew up with two sisters on his<br />
parents’ turkey operation in the state of<br />
Michigan. His family is of Greek heritage.<br />
He became further involved with livestock<br />
through his experience in 4-H and college<br />
at Michigan State University (MSU)<br />
under the guidance of David Hawkins in<br />
the animal science department. He also<br />
bought his first <strong>Hereford</strong>s from MSU. He<br />
later started his own fitting business and<br />
leased equipment and his services out to<br />
purebred sales across the Northeast for<br />
about three years. Montie got his first<br />
opportunity to shine when hired by Alex<br />
Ewing, to manage the ACE Polled<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> herd in New York State in 1978.<br />
It is said that Montie put ACE on the map<br />
among elite breeders.<br />
The herd that Montie built at ACE<br />
provided the foundation for the herd that<br />
he manages today. How he managed the<br />
business of that herd has given him the<br />
reputation of “one of the very most<br />
respected managers of any breed in North<br />
<strong>America</strong>,” in the words of Sims. In a<br />
conscientious manner, he strived to make<br />
everything good, better. That original<br />
ACE herd was highly influenced by the<br />
addition of a cow herd purchased from<br />
Justamere Farms of Alberta. It also relied<br />
heavily on the addition of other Canadian<br />
genetics, made possible by the close<br />
proximity to the U.S.-Canadian border.<br />

That same herd, which was eventually<br />
moved by Ewing to Oklahoma State, was<br />
ultimately purchased by Dan Thorne and<br />
relocated to the Star Lake Ranch. Montie<br />
followed the herd. More recently, Montie<br />
facilitated the change of ownership of the<br />
Ranch and <strong>Hereford</strong>s to the Blin Family.<br />
Through all the transitions, the herd has<br />
grown and deepened in quality. As<br />
Montie’s long time friend Johnny<br />
Winston says, it is a herd that beats the<br />
drum and waves the flag for the <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
breed, as one of the most progressive and<br />
innovative in North <strong>America</strong>.<br />
The Star Lake herd’s influence would<br />
soon spill into Canada, Australia,<br />
Argentina, and the European Union.<br />
Montie was one of the first to market cattle<br />
by putting his auction online and on RFD-<br />
TV. The Star Lake bull sale is the largest<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> bull sale in Oklahoma and the<br />
Southwestern U.S.<br />
In Canada, Montie has never been afraid<br />
to buy a bull, if he feels it could be a<br />
contributor to the breed. He often has<br />
animals sold before he buys them. He has<br />
a mini, mental business plan for each.<br />
Semen interests are sold to turn a profit<br />
for all owners and breeders involved. He<br />
has marketed the Star Lake Bulls through<br />
the Canadian bull book and through other<br />
Canadian bull markets. Montie also<br />
always helps the people that helped him.<br />
Star Lake Cattle Ranch regularly<br />
exhibits cattle at prominent Canadian<br />
Livestock shows, motivating many<br />
Canadian breeders to improve their<br />
programs. As Sims puts it, if there is<br />
jealousy for his success, it is “jealousy<br />
with respect.” Montie helped many small<br />
breeders enrich their programs because<br />
of their affiliation with him. He has<br />
encouraged the Canadian industry to rely<br />
more on performance data to illustrate<br />
benchmarks that need to be challenged.<br />

BSE, Montie made<br />
the decision to<br />
increase his support<br />
of Canadian<br />
breeders by<br />
continuing to buy<br />
cattle here, going so<br />
far as to establish a<br />
Canadian Star Lake<br />
herd, which<br />
purchased some of<br />
the top-selling<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s in sales<br />
over the past few<br />
years. Through Star<br />
Lake’s partnership<br />
with River Valley<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Farms,<br />
Montie started a joint production sale, to<br />
offer the results of his carefully selected<br />
Canadian herd. At that sale, he introduced<br />
the concept of replacing the sale ring with<br />
recent sale cattle videos, while sale lots<br />
were also on display for viewing. That<br />
herd and sale continues today. It is an<br />
innovative new concept in purebred<br />
auction sales introduced to Canadian<br />
breeders.<br />
While his philosophy is profit-driven,<br />
with no emotional attachments, Montie<br />
Soules never forgets the human equation<br />
of his business. He treats people fairly<br />

cattlemen of both the U.S.A. and Canada.<br />
Just as he doesn’t rely on others to sell<br />

recognizes those individuals who,<br />
although passed on, have made<br />
significant contributions to the <strong>Hereford</strong><br />

Neil Douglas Wilson was born<br />
November 25, 1946 in Wawota,<br />
Saskatchewan to Harold & Clara<br />
Wilson. He and his siblings, Ken and<br />
Lois, attended country school until Neil<br />
was in the eighth grade when they<br />
switched to the Wawota School where<br />
he remained until he graduated.<br />
As a youngster, Neil was passionate<br />
about farming and sports. In 1956 he<br />
convinced his father, Harold, to<br />
purchase five bred heifers from Foxland<br />
Farms and Haroldson’s Polled<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong>s was born. He played hockey,<br />

field. He was extremely successful in<br />
all three, being selected as a league allstar,<br />
winning a Saskatchewan High<br />

provincial title and numerous league<br />
championships in hockey. In baseball<br />

While he was growing his family,<br />
Neil was also building his reputation in<br />
the <strong>Hereford</strong> industry, both in Canada<br />
and abroad. In 1980, at the request of<br />
the Bulgarian government, Neil assisted<br />
with the selection and delivery of cattle<br />
to Bulgaria. While there, Neil gave<br />
clipping, showmanship and beef<br />
production seminars. In the years since,<br />
he exported semen, embryos and live<br />
cattle to several US states, Europe,<br />
Australia and Japan.<br />
Back at home in Canada, he built his<br />
herd up to include 150 purebred cows,<br />
large enough to host a fall production<br />
sale for 16 consecutive years, from<br />
1990-2005. In addition to their own<br />
sales, Haroldson’s Polled <strong>Hereford</strong>s was<br />
a loyal contributor to the Regina Bull<br />
Sale, where Neil exhibited numerous<br />
champions.<br />

Neil had a tremendous memory in<br />
regards to pedigrees and ancestry<br />
information involving all <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
bloodlines. He was called upon regularly<br />
by breeders from Canada and around<br />
the world to provide pedigree<br />
information, sales results and show<br />
placings on animals other than his own.<br />
He always had something positive to<br />
say about any animal in question and<br />
he was highly respected for his<br />
knowledge of the breed.<br />
When Neil passed away suddenly at<br />
the farm he loved on February 21, 2006,<br />
the <strong>Hereford</strong> breed lost a great<br />
ambassador and friend. It is with great<br />
respect that the Canadian <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
Association inducts Neil Wilson into its<br />
Memorial Scroll.<br />

can tell a real cowboy is by their hat. Oh,<br />
they don’t all look the same that’s for sure,<br />
but it has to do with the way they wear<br />
‘em. You’ll very rarely see a real cowboy<br />
chasing their hat. I don’t care if there’s a<br />
forty mile an hour Chinook wind blowin’,<br />
his ol’ sky piece will be right where she<br />
belongs.<br />
The secret here is to pull ‘er down over<br />
the knot. Every real cowboy has at least<br />
one or two knots on their head, which is<br />
why the hats get to lookin’ a little rough<br />
after while. I’ve got several spots that<br />
have taken stitches through the years, and<br />
several more that should have. I feel very<br />
fortunate that there isn’t any real evidence<br />
of drain bramage.<br />
My favorite knot for keepin’ my hat on<br />
is sort of on the south west corner of my<br />

head. I got that one at a rodeo in Malta<br />
about a hundred years ago. The show was<br />
over, and I was walking across the<br />
grounds when I got freight trained from<br />
the back by a bronc that happened to<br />
escape out of an open gate. Who else<br />
but me could get run over by a buckin’<br />
horse in a parkin’ lot?<br />
He started walkin’ on the back of my<br />
boots and then kept on a goin’ up my<br />
back where he did a little dance on the<br />
back of my head before headin’ for the<br />
Missouri breaks. That one still sticks out<br />
good enough to keep a hat where she<br />
belongs.<br />
There are several other ways to tell a<br />
real cowboy, too. One is by their tan line.<br />
It starts about an inch above their<br />
eyebrows and ends around three inches<br />
south of their chin. Other than a pair of<br />
tanned scarred up old hands, the rest of<br />
‘em looks sort of like the belly on a fish. I<br />
saw one ol’ boy get talked into gettin’ into<br />
a pair of those Bermuda shorts. Now that<br />
was a sight to behold. Those skinny little<br />
white bow legs were somethin’. Someone<br />
hollered at him, “Are those really yer legs,<br />
or are you standin’ on a chicken?”<br />
I just found out something that will take<br />
a little more checkin’ out, but if it holds<br />
true with a little more measuring, we finally<br />
may have a sure fire way to tell a real<br />

get it done left handed. He just plain<br />
couldn’t reach where he needed to<br />
reach. It was awful.<br />
I saw him on the road one day, and<br />
suggested that maybe his left arm was<br />
probably four or five inches shorter than<br />
his right one, as that was about how<br />
much he was short on the reach. That<br />

did, and got the same results. I<br />
measured my arms too…..same<br />

The only thing I can figure is that it<br />
must be a universal problem among<br />
real cowboys…. sort of like a genetic<br />
defect. Now, I’ve known some guys I<br />
