Editorial Comments... 

Byron Bayers 

Do you belong 

to your 

state Hereford 

association? 

Shame on you 

if you don’t 

belong. Does 

Byron Bayers 

your state sponsor 

Hereford feeder calf sales, do 

they have a member consignment 

sale, a member convention, Junior 

Hereford events, tours, field days, 

or any or all of the above? The sad 

part is that most states have little of 

the above mentioned. A few state 

groups are really leaders and the 

sales in the areas indicate that interest 

and involvement. South Dakota 

is one of the leaders, Texas is strong, 

as our leading numbers state should 

be, Kansas, with its good leadership

2009 National Western Stock Show 

Scenes from The Yards & The Hill 

February 2009 

Rod Gierau (right) from Springview, NE discussing 

cattle with John Ridder, Callaway, NE. 

Jill Hotchkiss 

Well, Marc and I ventured to the 

big National Western Stock Show in 

Denver again. So far, only one of us, 

Marc, came home with the Denver 

Crud and I’m just hoping not to 

get it. Seems like the most virulent 

strains of colds, flus and pneumonia 

are brought to Denver from across 

the nation where the bugs mutate and 

travel home with thousands of stock 

show attendees. That part certainly 

is not the highlight! 

Once again the Hereford breed 

had the largest show of any cattle 

breed in attendance! It was indeed 

a vast and very impressive display 

of Herefords on The Hill and in The 

Yards. This year there were over 

640 head of Herefords shown with 

354 head in the open show, 121 in 

the junior show, 30 pens of bulls, 7 

heifer pens and 6 carloads, according 

to AHA figures. 


Douthit Herefords, St. Francis, KS, have shown 

in Denver for 66 years in a row! 

Rollie Baumgarten, Belfi eld, ND, still happy 

after winning Grand Champion Heifer Pen.

Letters to the Editors 

Dear Jill: 

Winter is a good time to sort. Recently, 

I opened a “sort box” and found 

several of my college text books. Some 

things change. Some things stay the 

same. 

I picked up a livestock production 

book and flipped it open. There I 

found a detailed section expounding on 

the advantages of pasture farrowing. 

Things have changed. 

The next find was the 4th Edition 

of Ensminger’s Beef Cattle Science. 

Tucked inside the back cover were 

notes from a discussion I had with Dr. 

Robert C. de Baca* in Kildee Hall on 

the Iowa State University campus, 40 

years ago. As I scanned the notes I was 

reminded that Dr. de Baca was truly a 

visionary; years ahead of the industry. 

My notes include: 

1. “There is no one breed for every 

need. To be successful breeders 

need to focus on what their breed does 

best.” Herefords are the best mothers 

and have true reproductive superiority. 

Hereford cows consistently wean 

a calf, even in less than desirable environmental 

conditions and breed back 

on time. Other breeds have a distinct 

advantage in growth, muscle or marbling. 

Breeds should not look alike or 

perform alike. If any breed tries to be 

everything to everyone, that breed dilutes 

what it does best. 

2. “The goal of performance testing 

is to find the optimum not the maximum. 

Performance testing is a balancing 

act not a race.” Commercial cattlemen 

tell me they want to wean a 550# 

calf from a problem free, moderate size 

cow that breeds back on time. They 

want that calf to go into the feedlot and 

gain 100# per month and work on the 

grid. Progressive Hereford breeders are 

producing breeding stock that will provide 

the necessary genetics to help the 

commercial industry meet their goals. 

Hereford bull calves with 800# weaning 

weights; or bulls with 1400# 365 

day weights out of 1800# cows may 

not be needed to reach this goal. Optimum; 

not maximum! 

3. “The crossbred cow is the cow of 

the future.” Dr. de Baca understood and 

enthusiastically promoted crossbreeding 

to take advantage of heterosis; the 

cattleman’s only free lunch. The American 

Hereford Association’s “Harris 

Ranch” project is confirming the incredible 

impact that Hereford bulls have on 

profitability, when used on black hided 

cows. Dramatic improvements in gain, 

feed efficiency, morbidity and mortality 

resulted in huge reductions in cost of 

gain, for the Hereford sired calves. Heterosis 

works! Maternal heterosis will 

be studied as the black baldy females 

are bred and put into production. The 

effects of heterosis on maternal traits 

will document an even larger positive 

impact the industry will achieve by 

putting white faces on females. [Mail 

a copy of the Harris Ranch study to all 

of your commercial customers to document 

the Hereford advantage.] 

4. “It’s time to cull breeders like we 

cull cattle.” I remember asking Dr. de 

Baca to explain. He mentioned things 

like thumbs on the scale, confusion on 

birthdates, selling breeding stock out of 

problem cows, and breeders who have 

other questionable ethics. The pedigrees, 

performance information, and 

guarantee of breeding stock is no better 

than the ethics of the breeder. 

Some things have not changed. 

Thank you Dr. de Baca for reminding us 

that we must focus on what Herefords 

do best. Thank you for reminding us 

that Hereford breeders are in search of 

the optimum, not the maximum. Thank 

you for reminding us that every black 

hided commercial cow should be bred 

to a Hereford bull. And now more than 

ever, thank you for reminding Hereford

Ag Economics 101 

My business plan over the years has 

always been to buy high and sell low. 

Needless to say, it hasn’t worked out 

too well. I slept through my economics 

classes in college when I should have 

been paying attention. I did learn one 

thing. Money is just a medium of exchange 

and a way of keeping score of 

who owes whom for whatever. I have 

always wondered about our national 

debt, foreign trade deficits and how 

they would be paid off. I pay my own 

debts so why shouldn’t our government 

pay theirs? 

Then I had a revelation and realized 

the US dollar is not backed by gold or 

silver anymore. Bankers are just transferring 

credits electronically. Which 

means the government could wipe all 

that debt out just like clearing the scoreboard 

at a basketball game. This would 

cause repercussions, of course. Massive 

inflation and devaluation of the US dollar 

against foreign currencies would be 

one. Argentina is a good example of 

what happens when a country’s currency 

fails. They’ve had massive inflation and 

financial instability for years. 

I don’t know how the value of foreign 

currency, one against another, is calculated. 

I can’t see why the Canadian dollar 

has recently fallen so low. There are

not too many countries besides the US 

where foreign investors feel their money 

is safe. The recent stock market crash 

wiped out a lot of foreign capital that 

was invested in home mortgage securities 

and commodities like oil and grains. 

The money was invested there because 

the investors felt they had real and tangible 

value for security. Evidently the 

bankers don’t trust each other when it 

comes to lending money because of no 

collateral for security. 

The American public, including me, 

has lost faith in the stock market. People 

have lost thirty to fifty percent of their 

IRAs. Some lost their whole life savings, 

plus their houses. It will be hard to get 

them back. You can burn somebody 

once, but not as easily twice. I don’t 

think we have to worry about our kids 

and grandkids paying off the national 

debt. The government will just keep 

printing money and eventually have to 

wipe the debt out and start over. 

One reason I think the Federal Reserve 

Bank keeps interest rates down 

is not to stimulate the economy but to

keep the cost of interest on the national 

debt down. If my math is right, even five 

percent interest on 10 trillion dollars is 

500 billion dollars a year. That is a considerable 

portion of our national annual 

budget. It is also the reason banks are not 

paying any interest on CDs. They can 

get the money cheaper form the Federal 

Reserve. That forces investors to put 

money into the stock market instead of a 

safe CD at four or five percent interest. 

So, where do you put your money? 

Under the mattress is probably not an 

option if we get inflation. Real estate 

and real property maybe works. People 

have to eat, they get sick and they die. 

Anything to do with food, medicine and 

even morticians might be alright. I had a 

relative who was a mortician. I told him 

I was hoping not to need his services. 

He said, “Just remember, I’ll get you 

in the end.” 

I think anything to do with energy 

might be alright. I doubt if we can cut 

our energy usage back too much, even 

if we switch to renewable energy such

as wind, solar and bio-fuels. A newly 

emerging technology should be purification 

of seawater. We are running short 

of fresh water for metropolitan areas. 

The answer to CO 2 

greenhouse gases 

should be obvious. Grow more plants. 

They use CO 2 

and emit oxygen. There 

is potential for a lot of agronomic production 

on deserts if you have purified 

seawater available. 

The exciting part coming down the 

road is the changes we will see in agriculture. 

The world population is currently 

over six billion people and heading 

higher with each new baby born. Just 

think how much agriculture production 

it would take to give every person in 

the world one slice of bread or one egg 

a day. The point is that we won’t have 

grain available to feed livestock like 

we used to. It will go straight to human 

consumption. Couple this with the fact 

that we are running short of wood pulp 

for paper products. We will have to grow 

crops like kenaf or industrial hemp for 

paper pulp on farms. Either that, or we 

will run out of toilet paper and computer 

forms for the government. Chickens 

and pigs need some cereal grains but 

ruminant animals (cattle, sheep and 

wild ungulates) can convert grass to 

edible protein. 

With the recession and coming high 

unemployment we will see more consumption 

of cheaper meats like hamburger. 

The days of the traditional 

packer feedlot consortiums with vertical 

integration are numbered. Our forests 

and lumber industry is limited right now 

by our environmentalists’ “let it burn, 

don’t use it” policy. Have you noticed 

the stone and concrete buildings in Gaza 

and the Middle East? They used up the 

Shaw Cattle Co.

‘Cedars of Lebanon’ a long time ago. 

The only vegetative growth you see on 

their mountains is willow like bushes. 

This is a great example of why we need 

to continue to protect our own wilderness 

and wild land areas. 

Last but not least, a warning to all 

politicians in either political party. If 

you don’t continue to provide your 

constituents with the standard of living 

they are accustomed to, you will be out 

of a job. Unless you are a dictator like 

in the communist countries and just 

shoot the dissidents. 

Ours is a society of instant gratification 

that expects immediate solutions 

to all of our problems. President 

Obama will only have a 99-day honeymoon 

before the media forgets about 

the Bush-Cheney administration and 

lands on him. 

Our problems in this country were 

caused by our own greed and over 

indulgence, plus the greed of big 

banks and multi-national corporations. 

The banks and moneychangers have 

controlled government down through 

history. The monarchs in Europe had 

to borrow money to finance their wars. 

Crooked bankers have been a part of 

society since the idea of money as a 

medium of exchange was conceived. 

The only thing is that they haven’t realized 

that they can’t take their wealth 

with them when they go. I don’t see 

any U-hauls full of money behind 

hearses at funerals. I doubt if whoever 

is in charge when they get where they 

are going will cash a check for them. 

It is too bad there are not more people 

like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and 

Oprah Winfrey who have used their 

wealth for charitable programs. 

This ends my lecture on economics. 

It is probably worth what it cost you. 

Not much! Remember to buy low, 

sell high and keep your head down. 

Whatever is coming down the pike 

in the future is sure to be interesting. 

Maybe too interesting.

Final Farewell.. 

Marilyn “Joy” Bieber 

Marilyn Bieber, age 69, of Gettysburg, 

SD, passed away Monday, November 

17, 2008 at the Gettysburg Memorial 

Hospital. 

Marilyn Smith was born April 27, 

1939 at Sturgis, South Dakota to H.V. 

“Buck” & Lura Mae (Pratt) Smith. 

She graduated from Kennebec High 

School in 1957 and went on to receive 

her teaching certificate from Northern 

Teacher’s College in Aberdeen. On 

December 31, 1958 she was united in 

marriage to Jerry Bieber at Gettysburg. 

She made their home in Sully County 

for one year prior to moving to a farm 

southeast of Gettysburg where they 

resided for the remainder of her life. 

Marilyn spent one year teaching in 

Sully County while living there. She 

then went to work for the ASC office 

in Gettysburg. Following her employment 

there she returned to teaching 

in the Copp School and Agar School 

System. Upon the closing of the Agar 

School System, Marilyn went to work 

for Nelson Farms. 

Jerry and Marilyn were involved in 

the registered Hereford business with 

Jerry’s dad, J.C. Bieber and brother Ken 

and his wife Bonnie Bieber. The ranching 

entity was later known as Bieber 

Herefords. They bred and owned one 

of the breed’s most notable bulls, L1 

Pacesetter. Jerry and Marilyn dispersed 

their registered cows in 1983. L1 Pacesetter 

and his sire, RB L1 Domino 970 

were sold in this sale. 

Marilyn spent her life involved in 

many activities. She dearly enjoyed 

gardening, taking care of her yard, 

golfing, reading and playing solitaire. 

Sewing was a huge part of her life as 

she spent countless hours making special 

things for her children and grandchildren. 

Marilyn was a member of Emmanuel 

Lutheran Church in Gettysburg where 

she was active in the choir and ladies 

aide. 

Her life will be cherished by her 

spouse, Jerry Bieber of Gettysburg; 

children: Jodie (Shannon) of Pierre, 

Lisa (Stewart) Nelson of Warner, Linda 

(Terry) Weber of Vermillion and Derrick 

of Sioux Falls; seven grandchildren: 

Jordan Bieber of Chicago, Taylor 

and Payton Gall of Pierre, Paul & Connor 

of Warner, and Travis & Taylor of 

Vermillion; two sisters: Marla Gerber 

and Sandy (Dale) Nauman of Gettysburg; 

brother-in-law, Orville Schmidt 

of Gettysburg; brother-and sister-inlaw 

Ken and Bonnie Bieber; and a host 

of nieces, nephews and cousins. 

She was preceded in death by her parents 

and one sister, Marcine Schmidt.

Final Farewell.. 


Ken York 

Graveside services for Ken York, 

61, Marshall, TX, were held Friday, 

Dec. 19, 2008, at Colonial Gardens 

Cemetery with Bob Bryant officiating 

under the direction of Sullivan-Heaster 

Funeral Home. Mr. York died Monday, 

Dec. 15, 2008. He was born November 

22, 1947, in Cushing, OK, to Ira and 

Eunice Bay York. Survivors include his 

wife, Bertha Bryant York of Marshall; 

children, Angie York and Dustin York, 

both of Edmund, OK, Billy Bryant of 

Dallas, Lori Bryant of Tyler, Shelley 

Vaught Sellers and Jana Vaught, both of 

Marshall and Travis Bryant of Addison; 

and six grandchildren. 

Ken was a man of many talents. He 

worked for registered cattle organizations 

and cattle publications but found 

his true niche in marketing cattle. He 

loved the cattle business and was especially 

at home selling his clients’ commercial 

calves and replacement females. 

One of the original “outside-the-box” 

thinkers, his unique talents led to sales 

for clients in over seven states representing 

over 160,000 cows. 

Ken will truly be missed as an innovator, 

good friend, proud parent and 

grandfather. 

Betty Bascom Karst 

Betty Bascom Karst was born in Sterling, 

CO, Sept. 19, 1916, the daughter 

of D.C. and Alma Thompson Bascom.

2009, at 92 years of age at Westhills 

Health Care. She was a graduate of Fort 

Collins High School and Colorado State 

University, Fort Collins, in 1939. She 

married Kermit G. Karst June 1, 1939. 

Survivors include a son, Col. Kim 

Karst, Ret., and his wife, Ellen, of 

Springfield, VA; a daughter, Karen 

Karst Frazzini, and her husband, Don, 

of San Mateo, CA; a brother, Robert 

M. Bascom, and his wife, Jane, of San

Her husband, Kermit, preceded her 

in death in 1999. They were married 

over 60 years. Following her early 

married years on ranches in Colorado 

and Oregon, Mrs. Karst spent several 

years in the field of education. She was 

a substitute teacher, a secretary to the 

Dean of Men and Women and in charge 

of Student Employment at Morningside 

College, Sioux City, IA. On their return 

to Colorado in 1961, Mrs. Karst was employed

Line 1 Hereford Cattle from Fort Keogh 

Celebrating 75 years of science-based breeding 

Join us:

Line 1 Hereford beef dinner and seminar 

March 7th, 12:30 PM at Miles City Livestock Commission 

Selling 35 bulls and 20 replacement heifers 

We value being recognized as a “Gold TPR Breeder” by the AHA. We report all the data on every calf and cow every 

year so that you can have confi dence that the cattle we offer are fairly and accurately evaluated. We look forward in 

anticipation to an even stronger performance program for Hereford cattle as new EPD for longevity and heifer pregnancy 

comes on line. 

We are very proud of this offering of Line 1 Hereford bulls. The bulls we have used were our picks from the entire 2006 crop of bull calves, based fi rst 

and foremost on the performance they had to offer. The policy here is that, to the extent it is possible, every herd sire leaves a son as a herd sire. 

That helps us manage the increase in inbreeding that is unavoidable as long as we keep Line 1 closed to outside breeding. After we have selected 2 

or 3 sons of each herd sire based on their performance, we then make fi nal decisions about which candidates actually see cows based on their type 

and semen evaluation. One strength of the Line 1 program is producing curve benders – bulls that can sire calves with light birth weights and still 

have excellent growth. In this offering, there are only 2 bulls with an above breed average EPD for birth weight, but 25 with an above breed average 

EPD for yearling weight. Another bred-in strength of the Line 1 cattle is their ability to marble. Twenty eight of the bulls on offer have an EPD for 

marbling above the average of the Hereford breed; 10 of them in the top 10% of the breed.

Lester ‘Beans’ Wessel 

“Beans” Wessel, 65, died surrounded 

by his family, on Thursday, Jan. 15, 

2009, following a cardiac arrest at St. 

Vincent’s Hospital in Billings, MT. 

He was born on Sept. 22, 1943, in 

Sheridan, MT and raised in the Ruby 

Valley. 

As a young man, Beans excelled in 

high school football, enjoyed fishing and 

raisin’ cane. He graduated from Sheridan 

High School and continued his lifelong 

love of ranching. He was a member 

of the American Hereford Association, 

Montana Stock Growers Association 

and was active in the promotion of the 

cattle industry. He was an Exalted Ruler 

and a lifetime member of The Order of 

the Elks in Virginia City, MT. 

Beans married Janet Wellman on Sept. 

23, 1967, and they raised their three 

children on the ranch in the Ruby Valley. 

In 1992, Beans, his parents and his 

son Scott moved their ranching operation 

to south-central Montana. On May 

28, 1994, Beans married Pam Swenson 

and together they continued ranching 

with Scott. 

He was a real cowboy — the real 

thing — as one with the horse in the 

saddle, a steward and lover of the land, 

in kinship with the natural world and his

animals. His knowledge and instinctive 

abilities in raising his Herefords was 

well known and respected. He was a 

cattleman of the highest caliber. Beans 

lived life with an attitude of “the glass 

is half full,” always looking at the positive 

and trusting that it will all work out. 

Beans loved his children with his whole 

heart and life. He took his role as Dad 

seriously and loved and accepted them 

unconditionally. The greatest joy in his 

life was to have his kids all gathered 

together at home. 

The love of his life came later in 

his years, when he met Pam. They 

conquered obstacles and through it all, 

their love endured and grew strong. All 

too soon, their plans and dreams had to 

end on this earth, but will go on in her 

heart forever. Pam was honored to have 

loved such a special man, and grateful 

for the time they had. One of the greatest 

blessings Beans brought to Pam’s life 

was his kids. She adopted them into her

mention of his name brought a smile

the world. We can only aspire to do the 

same.

Super Duty 42S was the high selling bull at the 2008 Remitall 

dispersal and high selling bull in Canada for $270,000. He 

is without a doubt one of the most impressive individuals produced 

by Remitall Cattle Co. He has great muscle pattern and expression, 

tremendous bone structure with perfect eye set and pigment and an 

awesome profile. His calves at the Remitall dispersal averaged $4100 

and in most cases out sold their dams. Super Duty calves in the 

Square D sale were top sellers. His sons sold for an average of $8900 

this fall. Super Duty heifer calves averaged $3100. The high selling 

heifer calf, from Grandview Plantation at the Denver National 2009 

was a Super Duty daughter and sold for $50,000.

Byron’s Editorial... 


and many ongoing programs is among 

the leaders (their GOP program is unmatched). 

Nebraska is active and is 

moving the breeders along but possibly 

the state unnoticed by much of the US, 

is Tennessee. Led by tireless worker, 

President Billy Ashe, the Tennessee 

Polled Hereford Association has a consignment 

sale, a Hereford feeder calf 

sale, Jr. and Sr. field days, conventions, 

and has worked with other states to include 

them in their activities. The state 

is still split horned-polled, but I know 

that ongoing discussions are under way 

to consolidate that problem. Tennessee 

is a good example for many of the state 

organizations to follow. Tennessee has 

a good leader in Ashe and any group 

needs a good leader. Probably the biggest 

problem we face with the Hereford 

breed is marketing of the feeder cattle. 

People with the smaller Hereford groups 

need sales to consign to where larger 

numbers of calves will attract outside 

buying power. 

Even the CHB crew is at the Tennessee 

sale which is a big deal, and they 

facilitated some purchases at that sale. 

With all the promises and “will do’s” I 

have yet to see the CHB group do very 

much about helping get the Herefords 

sold. Of all the people I have talked to 

about Herfnet, most have had no response. 

Some early group connections 

with CHB still exist, but most of those 

are bigger “lots” operations. I am certain 

that the key to our breed’s future is our 

ability to sell the Hereford feeder on a 

par with any other breed! Until we do 

that we are going to be like the guys in 

the Hertz ad. 

Your state association President is 

invited to Kansas City to the AHA annual 

meeting, where a meeting of the 

state presidents is held and all breeders 

are invited. At this meeting you can 

“air” your problems, and they will be 

heard by the AHA directors and staff. 

Whether this group will act on your 

message to them is always uncertain, 

but the breeders need to follow up for 

answers. President Philip Moon did a 

great job of organizing the President’s 

Council meeting this past year. 

If you as a breeder do not join your 

state association you cannot really be a

part of a group that works for the breeders 

in the state or later at the national 

level. It has been said to me, “What good 

can I do anyway?” With that attitude 

you can’t do any good, but if you and 

people like you got on the problems, 

in numbers, you can do a lot of good 

for the breed and yourself! Look what 

happened in our national election when 

a bunch of people voted that had not 

voted before? 

The big Denver show is now history. 

The effects 

of my stroke made 

it unable for me to 

attend but Marc 

and Jill were there 

and reported to me 

that it was a great 

event and that 

they visited with 

a great number of 

Hereford people. 

I was thankful 

that several of my 

Hereford friends 

called me during 

the show and gave 

me some updates 

on the events taking 

place. It seems 

like the “Denver 

Crud” was around 

again and I feel 

sorry for those of 

you that were affected. 

If we could 

develop a vaccine 

for this “Denver 

Crud” it would be 

a great seller to all 

cattle and horse 

people! — BB 

Jill’s 

Editorial... 

(cont. from pg 1) 

The Denver 

show is always a 

different experience 

and you just 

never know what 

you’ll find. One 

thing is for certain 

though, the majority 

of cattle are 

very well fed. One 

breeder we talked 

to suggested that 

the National Corn 

Growers ought to 

be one of the sponsors! 

All joking 

aside, it’s one of those deals if you don’t 

have them in good shape to go to Denver 

you probably won’t do very well. This 

year was no exception. 

Viewed as the “Mecca” for Hereford 

breeders there was certainly a lot of 

beef for breeders to feast their eyes on. 

My favorite part of the 4-day event is 

quickly becoming the carload and pen 

shows. You notice the number of car- 

loads is down while the number of pens 

is up. Without a doubt that is because 

of increased costs of taking a carload 

to Denver. It’s also a lot easier to put 

a pen of consistent cattle together than 

a carload. Either way, these groups are 

impressive and you’ve got to admire 

those who exhibit. 

Overall I’d say the quality of cattle 

was really good. Of course I didn’t see 

absolutely everything, which is really 

difficult to do, but the pens and carloads

Another highlight of the Denver Hereford 

experience is the AHA’s Hereford 

Hospitality Suite. This year the suite 

was on the first floor of the Livestock 

Exchange Building which I think helped 

them get more traffic. Our hats are off to 

those who put this together and manned 

it. Amy Cowan and her mother had a 

great deal to do with keeping people 

fed and watered and generally happy. 

Thanks ladies! I’m sure there was a 

ton of work by other staff members as 

well. As always, small booth spaces 

are sold in the suite. This year was no 

exception. 

I always like to see good marketers 

in action. The Rausch/Ridder Hereford 

booth was manned by both Vern Rausch 

and Mary Ridder. Even though they

“We Breed Excitement!” 

were sharing their booth space it was 

interesting to watch these two in action. 

Ridders also had a carload so both John 

and Mary Ridder were very busy with 

that. I think the carload also proved to be 

a good marketing tool for Ridders. 

Garnering the first corner booth and 

constantly having someone at the booth 

helped ensure good traffic and high visibility 

for the booth. Hats off to Vern 


Rausch for pulling people into not only 

their booth but the Hereford suite — 

promotion at its best! 

Sometimes I think breeders often feel 

they are “too busy” to take an active 

part in promoting their own cattle. If 

you are one of these who thinks you are 

too busy, you need to reassess. No one 

knows your cattle and breeding program 

better than you do. If you are on the front 

lines promoting I really think you will 

reap the benefits. These days you have to 

consider different 

ways of marketing 

and promoting. 

You also know your 

customers best and 

what their habits 

and practices are. 

For example, some 

people respond 

well to e-mail while 

others might need a 

personal call. Most 

people need one or 

two reminders as 

well either through 

mail, e-mail, phone 

or all three. Printed 

materials are always 

good even if your 

potential customer 

is a computer geek 

type who spends 

lots of time online. 

In dealing with our 

customers we find 

preferences run 

the gamut. It takes 

some work to get to 

know your customers 

and potential 

customers’ habits 

and what works 

best to reach them 

with your message. 

As sale season approaches, 

I wish 

you all well in getting 

your message 

across effectively. 

The first two 

Hereford sales of 

2009, the Denver 

sale and Van 

Newkirk’s, were 

extremely successful 

and we hope 

they set the pace 

for the remainder 

of the winter and 

spring sales. We are 

optimistic about the 

upcoming bull sale 

season. Of course we’d all like to have 

a crystal ball when it comes to predicting 

the outcome of these sales but if the 

first two are an indicator then things 

look positive. I guess we will all know 

by May! 

See you at the bull sales.

I think as ranchers we know that better than anyone. It is impossible 

for me to tell you exactly when our ranch began. I don’t even think 

my mother could tell you, and she was there through the thick of it. 

But I very much doubt that it was easy. When Della asked me to write 

down our history or describe the glory years it got me thinking. How

This year’s Hereford Man of the Year 

is a cowboy through and through. At 

a young age he developed a love for 

the ranching way. Though his parents 

were in the farming business, he spent 

as much time as possible in the saddle

mechanics and the attention of his future 

wife, Cassandra Jackson, the daughter 

of Marilyn and Robin Jackson. 

Cassandra and Eric were married on 

Feb 14, 2004 in Wolf Creek Montana. 

Cassandra’s father, the pastor of Wolf 

Creek Baptist Church officiated. Eric 

and Cassandra’s marriage resulted in the 

birth of their first child Autumn. With 

her birth, Eric and Cassandra started to 

think about their future, and how they 

wanted to raise their kids. 

They discussed the possibility of 

running Dan’s farm as Eric’s uncle Don 

was planning on retiring. They started 

running the farm in 2006 and managed 

not just to raise wheat but also gave birth 

to two more kids, Kylie and Dawson. 

In 2008 they finally made their move 

into ranching by purchasing 20 cows 

and five bulls from the Holden Hereford 

ranch. To pay the bills, Eric works fulltime 

as a conductor for BNSF out of 

Glasgow. Because of the odd hours and 

schedules of a conductor, Cassandra has 

had to keep the farm and the house going 

when Eric is away. 

Eric and Cassandra have faced several 

hardships including severe illness of 

their eldest daughter Autumn, drought, 

and an injury that affected the use 

of Eric’s right hand for more than 

three months. Despite it all, they are 

committed to the Montana agricultural 

way of life and look forward to growing 

their Hereford business and leaving a 

legacy for their children, should they 

decide to follow their family footsteps. 

Commercial Breeder - 

Vukonich 


do you start up a place like ours? Where 

do you begin? And furthermore, at what 

point do you earn the right to be called 

a “ranch”? It was then that I realized, 

wow! All those years of stacking hay 

and feeding calves, I really had it easy. 

The hard work was done while I was 

still soiling my diapers. The hard part 

was actually creating the ranch I now 

call home. 

Its creation was a process that cannot 

be measured in days, or even months, 

rather it’s a process measured in years, 

20 to be exact. It was the fall of 1988 

when my parents fell into an offer they 

couldn’t refuse. To lease an irrigated 

place a few miles West of Joliet that 

they would eventually buy. A place 

complete with a modest house, huge 

barn, and beautiful view of the Beartooth 

Mountains and a set of corals that 

wouldn’t have kept in a dead cow. But it 

was a place with unlimited potential and 

with the grace of God and a little luck, 

my father knew it could work. He and 

mom moved onto their new ranch that 

October with three kids, an old dog, a 

trusty horse and a handful of mutt cows 

that would be the foundation of the heard 

that’s there today, which includes the 

first heifer born on the place. 

Through the first several years we 

tried our hand at a couple different 

breeds. We first used Gelbviehs to help 

us tear down what corrals where there, 

then switched to Longhorns to teach us 

how to build new ones. But after all the 

dust settled the breed that dad always 

had an inborn fondness for was made our 

breed of choice, Hereford. Dad began 

buying registered Line-1 Hereford bulls 

from Dave and Ron Baker of Silesia and 

thus began the process of converting a 

bunch of mixed breed cattle to the herd 

of Herefords we have now. 

By the mid nineties leasing summer 

pasture to accommodate the rapidly 

growing heard was an annual spring 

event, and producing enough hay for 

the winter became a summer long 

chore. By 2000 we were strictly a pure 

bred operation buying and selling only 

Herefords and breeding for frame, milk 

and calving ease. But after the dispersion 

of Baker Hereford we had to travel 

for bulls to fit our cows and take them 

to the next level. 

It was then that Dad decided to step 

away from the Line-1 for a while and see 

what the introduction of Canadian blood 

would do. The results surpassed any 

perceived assumptions and allowed us 

to achieve higher birth weights, higher 

weaning weights and a larger frame 

without loosing calving ease. Show 

calves were competing with the likes of 

registered breeders, and females were 

winning best of show at the county fair. 

This cross of blood lines was so suc-


Vukonich 


cessful for us that we have continued to 

buy Canadian blood lines from Courtney 

Herefords and Line-1 from Fort Keogh 

as well as Ron Baker. Over the last 

couple years dad has begun selling club 

calves to showers in Nebraska and the 

Midwest, and one as part of the Make- 

A-Wish Foundation for a terminally ill 

patient that wanted to show a Hereford 

as his wish. We also sell replacement 

heifers to other commercial producers, 

and our feeders go to a buyer in 

Nebraska where they out-gain most of 

the competition. 

As I said, nothing good in life comes 

easy. And growing up on our ranch, as 

my brother and sister will tell you, was 

not always easy. But it was a good way 

to grow up and like most ranch kids; 

we wouldn’t trade it for the world. In a 

country drowned by Angus you couldn’t 

pay me enough to raise anything but 

Hereford. I am proud of our cattle the 

place I call home, and I am extremely 

proud of my parents. This has not been 

easy for any of us, but the rewards have 

been endless. And while I cannot say for 

sure the birth date of our operation, nor 

do I know where it will be in the future, I 

can say that the Pick Ranch is not going 

anywhere for a while. 

Thomas 


working for most anyone who needed 

a hand. Home for this future Hereford 

breeder was the small town of Phosphate, 

Montana, just 10 miles east of 

the where the family ranch is located 

today. 

A little later in life he served in the 

National Guard and on May 24, 1957, 

he married his high school sweetheart 

Shirley Dutton of Dutton Herefords. 

That same year they began building a 

purebred Hereford herd which is known 

today as Thomas Herefords. 

In 1959 he and Shirley were blessed 

with there first child Donna who was 

soon followed by Bruce and then Terri 

Jo. As the kids became involved in 

Here ford events, 4-H, and FFA, so did 

he. His dedication to the community and 

area youth could be no better expressed 

than in the fact that he has served on the 

Tri-County Fair Board for 41 years and 

continues to serve. 

His involvement in the Hereford 

Industry has included the Missoula 

Hereford Association where he became 

a member in 1964. He exhibited at every 

“Top Cut” event from then until the last 

sale in 2001 and was privileged to have 

many award winning females, bulls and 

pen bulls. Also, he served on the Board 

of Directors for much of that time in 

many offices including president. 

On a state level, he served as a director 

of the Montana Hereford Association 

for several terms, some of these including 

being the chairman of the board. 

Additionally he and Shirley helped cosponsor 

a Montana Jr. Hereford Field 

Day and hosted a Hereford Tour. Over 

the years they exhibited cattle at various 

Montana Shows and Consignment 

Sales. 

The original Thomas Herefords cow 

herd was developed with the purchase 

of Lamplighter cows out of Idaho and 

cows that Shirley had acquired and 

raised prior to their marriage. For the 

next 10 to 15 years the genetics of the 

herd were influenced through bulls 

purchased from breeders in the Montana 

area. In the mid-70’s they began using 

artificial insemination. Though it was 

used minimally then, it paved the way 

for the decisions made ten years later. 

Those decisions made artificial insemination 

and Total Performance Records 

the tools that have been instrumental in 

making the Thomas Herefords genetics 

what they are today. 

Today; all replacement females are 

synchronized and bred in a two to three 

day window. Approximately 95% of the 

cows are artificially inseminated on an 


annual basis. The ranch’s A.I. season 

is 21 days and is then followed up with 

ranch-raised bulls in a 60 day breeding 

season. Much of the semen currently 

used is from Breed Leading Sires raised 

at Thomas Herefords (KT Top Secret 

1030, KT 122L Online 3074, & KT John 

Wayne 7167) along with semen from 

other present and upcoming Horned and 

Polled breed leaders. 

Currently the ranch offers 50 polled 

and horned bulls annually for sale; 

through private treaty as well as show 

heifer prospects, bred heifers, and Hereford 

club calves selling nation wide. It 

has been in the last 10 years or so that 

the genetics (both cattle and grandchildren) 

of this couple have been seen in 

the national Hereford spotlight. 

Those successes include various 

Grand, Reserve, and Division Champion 

Females and Steers at the Jr. National 

Hereford Expos. The height of the show 

ring was with Richard’s grandson, Kurt 

receiving Grand Champion Horned Bull 

at the 2008 National Western Stockshow 

(KT John Wayne 7167). John Wayne 

traces back to the very first female that 

Kurt received from his grandfather.

2009 NHA Top Young 

Hereford Promoter Award 

Brian Hula of Creston, NE has a 

small Hereford herd that he runs in 

combination with his parents, Ron 

and Vicky of Weston. Brian’s involvement 

with Herefords began 

long before he was born. He had two 

sets of great grandparents that raised 

Herefords and his grandparents, Tom 

and Joyce Stangle built a top notch 

herd that has inspired Brian to work 

toward building his own quality herd 

of Herefords. 

Brain graduated from Northwest 

Missouri State University in 

Maryville, Missouri with a degree in 

animal science and ag business. While 

there he worked at the Maryville Sale 

barn and saw cattle of many types and 

quality. None of them could sway his 

passion awry from the Herefords. 

The Hula herd has been built from 

heifers purchased from the Cornhusker 

Classic Sale, Stangle Herefords and 

more recently from Upstream Ranch. 

The cow herd is predominantly Domino 

with some Robin Hood, Patriot, 

Explorer, Knight and Diamond. The 

bulls used in the herd are UPS Knight 

3172, UPS Odyssey 6018 and a bull 

Brian raised and is real excited about 

JJ Rascal 602 (a son of Dakota). HH 

Shadow Domino 804 is another bull 

that shows great promise. Brian also 

raised this bull and will be taking him 

to Denver in January. 

Brian has been promoting the breed 

for the past 20 years. He started by 

showing in 4-H, Jr. Hereford shows 

and FFA. He showed heifers and 

steers locally, and at the Nebraska 

State Fair, Aksarben, and the NJHA 

progress show. He has shown at the Jr 

National and the Royal. His promoting 

didn’t end with showing. He gave 

speeches at the junior field day, the 

Jr. National Show and at the Royal 

in Kansas City. Today he continues 

to sell heifers and steers at the Cornhusker 

Classic Sale in North Platte. 

While in 4-H, FFA and the Jr. Hereford 

Association, Brian received 

many awards including Sate FFA 

degree, American FFA degree, the 

Golden Bull award and the John 

Wayne Memorial Scholarship. 

This past year Brian caught himself 

coming and going. Along with 

preparing for the Hereford tour, he 

was busy serving as chairman for 

the Humphrey Community Club and 

in charge of organizing and running 

Humphrey’s 125 year celebration. 

He is employed by Vacin of Humphrey. 

Brian has a daughter, Brianna, 

and is busy setting up his new place 

at Creston.

Schuttes Receive 2009 NHA 

Heritage Breeder Award 

The 2009 Heritage Breeder award recipient, Schutte and Sons Polled Herefords. 

Pictured are Allen and Norma and Ron and Nancy Schutte with their children and 

grandchildren. 

The Schutte herd began in the fall 

of 1952 with the purchase of 2 cows 

and a bull by the late Alfred Schutte. 

The first registered calf, Lady Mischief, 

was born on March 29, 1954. 

This female line has remained intact 

and appears in many S&S pedigrees 

over 50 years later. Many original female 

lines began with purchases made 

in the fifties and most of the Schutte 

cows trace to a few of these initial 

cows. The herd has been closed to 

outside females for nearly 20 years. 

At first the cattle were registered in 

Alfred’s name only. On July 30, 1957 

and thereafter all cattle were transferred 

to and registered under Alfred 

Schutte and Sons. In the fall of 1959, 

the S&S prefix was added to the name 

of all Schutte cattle. The graphic S&S 

logo that is used in advertising was 

designed by the Polled Hereford 

World magazine in the early 1960s. 

In 1970, Alfred went into partnership 

with sons Allen and Ron and 

on the death of Alfred in 1980 the 

partnership of Schutte and Sons was 

formed. The first production sale was 

held on the first Tuesday in March 

1974. The first Tuesday of March has 

been sale day at Schutte’s since that 

time. 

After Alfred’s death, Allen and 

Ron bought out Alfred’s interest in 

the partnership and the herd remained 

intact. The focus of the Schutte program 

was toward producing top commercial 

bulls backed by performance 

records. Schuttes were some of the 

first breeders to provide EBVs and 

later EPDs on all cattle sold in their 

sale. Current sale catalogs contain 20 

performance facts on each animal offered 

for sale.

Corbiell Honored by Record Stockman 

By Kimberly Fabrizius Balog 

The Record Stockman’s 2009 

Canadian Cattle Producer of the Year 

at the National Western Stock Show, is 

Brad Corbiell of Cluny, Alberta. 

Brad & wife, Tammy, & the Corbiell 

Family have spent a lifetime with 

3 generations of Corbiell’s in the 

purebred Hereford Industry. 

Brad’s grandfather was born in 

Ouelletteville, Quebec, moved to 

Michigan and then moved in 1909 from 

Norway, Michigan to Cluny, Alberta 

The Corbiell Family has been a pillar 

of the community ever since. 

Armand & Mary Ellen Corbiell, 

(Brad’s Mom & Dad), started in the 

Horned Hereford business 65 years 

ago, and still stay involved to this day. 

Brad & Tammy have been breeding and 

raising Horned Hereford Seed Stock 

for over 35 years. 

Brad graduated high school in 

Cluny in 1977, and in 1978 he married 

Tammy, together they have built one of 

the most prestigious herds in Canada. 

From 1978 to 1980, Brad owned and 

New Zealand Adventures with Jocelyn 

by Jocelyn Templeton 

Now two months into my trip I have 

been exposed to a true Kiwi lifestyle, 

sheep. I can proudly say I know how 

to dag, drench, crutch, rousey, muster, 

draft, mouth, dock, butcher, and pretty 

well anything else associated with 

these furry creatures. Although I 

have adopted the life style, it is only 

temporary. The work involved with 

sheep is continuous and stressful. I 

would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy 

it though. 

Working with the Taylors has been 

most excellent. With a workforce of 

six we sure know how to get the job 

done, and being Kiwis there is always 

room for fun. I recently attended the 

Masterton bull riding. Accustom to 

the Calgary Stampede rodeo, I was not 

expecting to be blown away. Although 

the two rodeos do not compare, the 

community excitement and crowd 

turnout made the rodeo all the more 

enjoyable. I also ran into Mark and 

Bruce McKenzie. After a meet and 

greet with Marks family and a good 

chat I made plans to visit Maungahina 

in the new year. 

operated his own custom corral cleaning 

business. He worked all summer and 

fall cleaning and went home to feed 

Herefords through the winter. 

In 1981 Brad was offered and 

accepted a position at the world renown 

Bar Pipe Farms of Okotoks, he spent 

10 years at Bar Pipe and was part of the 

team that raised and produced many of 

the landmark high selling sires in the 

glory years. 

In 1991 Brad went to work with Kurt 

Gilmore and the Canadian Hereford 

Digest. Brad traveled a million miles 

plus in his 9 years with the Digest 

and visited every Hereford Breeder in 

Western Canada. The sincerity, honesty 

and enthusiasm shown by Brad to 

fellow breeders in those 9 years is 

paramount in the Livestock Industry. 

Corbiell Herefords, jointly with the 

Fraser Family held 30 consecutive 

production sales together. 

In 1998 Brad took the first set of 

Corbiell bulls to the world famous 

Calgary Bull Sale and had Reserve 

Senior Champion selling for $11,000 to 

Brad and Tammy Corbiell with the bulls they’re taking to the Calgary Bull Sale. 

After spending my Christmas on the 

beach I met up with a few friends from 

back home and headed up to Gisborne. 

Here we attended Rhythm and Vines, 

a three day new years festival with 

live bands playing all day. With over 

25, 000 people in attendance it is New 

Zealand’s biggest New Years festival. 

After being one of the first people 

to bring in the new year, I headed 

up North to the Bay of Islands. We 

sailed out to white sand on a clear 

blue island and spent the day relaxing. 

Carey Farms. In 

1999 a Corbiell 

bull stood as 

Reserve Grand 

Champion at 

Calgary and 

sold for $25,000 

to Poplar Dell 

and in 2001 

Corbiell sold 

the high selling 

bull at Calgary 

again to 

Little Fort for 

$15,500. In the 

10 years Brad 

has taken bulls 

to Calgary, the 

Corbiells have always been one of the 

high averaging strings. 

In 2000, Corbiell’s had their first 

production sale on their own, at the 

ranch, and even though a full scale 

blizzard was on sale day, the bull 

calf, Kaptain 82K, sold for $60,000 to 

Middlesworth Herefords at Torrington, 

WY. Brad & Tammy have sold many 

Unfortunately this was the end of the 

journey, and 2700 kms later I was back 

in Masterton. 

Over half way through my trip I have 

explored the north island, learned to be 

a sheep farmer, and enjoyed the sun. I 

believe I picked a good winter to be as 

far away from home as possible. In this 

next leg of my trip I will be exploring 

the south island, gorse spraying, and 

turning my attention towards a more 

bovine oriented lifestyle. 

Brad Corbiell 

bulls over the years to leading purebred 

and commercial herds in the USA. 

Brad & Tammy have 2 children, 

Jodilea, born in 1981, is married to 

Dustin Aebly at Jenner, Alberta, they 

have 2 children, Hadley – 3 and Callie 

– 1. Dustin & Jodilea ranch and yes, 

raise Purebred Horned Herefords. 

Brad & Tammy’s son Ty was born 

in 1983. Ty graduates this year from 

the Western College of Veterinary 

Medicine, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, 

and has accepted a 1 year position at 

the prestigious, Idaho Equine Hospital 

at Nampa, ID. Ty was married August 

2008 to Melissa Huston, you guessed 

it, the daughter of Horned Hereford 

Breeders, Clark & Byrne Huston of the 

Windimuir Herefords. 

Brad & Tammy have always been 

very community orientated. Brad has 

served on the board of the Canadian 

Hereford Association, President of 

the Cluny Lions Club, and member 

of the Royal Canadian Legion. He 

has coached minor hockey for many 

years and has been very active in the 

4H movement and local agricultural 

society. 

Brad is a well known and respected 

cattle judge and has judged many 4H 

shows. Two of his judging highlights 

include Canadian Western Agribition 

in Regina, Saskatchewan, and the Red 

Carpet Show in Saskatoon. 

When I asked Brad about his belief 

and philosophy in the business, his 

answer was quick and strong. “Tammy 

and I believe in our cattle and we believe 

in looking after our customers.” 

This wonderful couple spend 

countless hours and miles visiting their 

customers and working with them for 

greater success. Brad credits much of 

their success to the many, many repeat 

buyers who come year after year. Brad 

& Tammy work and ranch themselves 

without any hired help. Son Ty, comes 

home, to the ranch, as often as he can, 

and is instrumental in grooming and 

showing of the sale Bulls. 

The Corbiell single C prefix is known 

throughout the Industry and the world.

National Beef Packing Co. 

Receives Hereford 

Industry Innovator Award 

National Beef Packing Co. LLC was 

presented the AHA Hereford Industry 

Innovator Award by the American 

Hereford Association (AHA) during 

the National Western Stock Show 

Hereford Carload and Pen Show in 

Denver, Jan. 15. 

National Beef is the only rancherowned, 

fully-integrated beef processor 

in the U.S. National Beef is the 

fourth largest packer and has been 

a licensed Certified Hereford Beef 

(CHB) processor since July 2003. 

The AHA Board selected National 

Beef for the award because of its 

commitment to Hereford’s premium 

branded beef program — CHB ® . 

“National Beef is an industry leader 

in branded beef products with 10 

different value-added branded beef 

labels,” says Craig Huffhines, AHA 

executive vice president. “CHB is one 

of their top-selling brands and National 

has invested a lot in the program 

with full-time sales staff and sales 

representatives in the country.” 

National Beef is the largest harvester 

of CHB cattle and is always looking 

for quality fed steers and heifers on 

a weekly basis. In fact, during 2008, 

the company launched a progressive 

ad campaign seeking cattlemen with 

Hereford and black whiteface cattle 

to market. National developed print, 

Internet and radio ads announcing its 

intention to buy more cattle to fill the 

growing demand for Hereford beef. 

Since National’s partnership with 

CHB began it has been certifying 

200,000 head of cattle per year 

through the program, or about 30 

million lb. of beef.

Lacey Livestock Honored as Hereford Innovator 

Lacey Livestock was presented the 

AHA Hereford Industry Innovator 

Award by the American Hereford 

Association (AHA) during the National 

Western Stock Show Hereford Carload 

and Pen Show in Denver, Jan. 15. 

Lacey Livestock, managed by fatherson 

team, John and Mark, is based in 

Independence, Calif. The company has 

been cooperating with AHA, Harris 

Feeding Co. and Harris Ranch Beef Co. 

since 2005, in a research project studying 

the value of heterosis. The objective 

of the project is to conduct a controlled 

crossbreeding system comparing progeny 

sired by Hereford and Angus bulls 

under commercial conditions, emphasizing 

economic differences at the ranch,

“When we asked John and Mark if they 

would be willing to work with us on the 

Harris Ranch study, they both jumped at 

the opportunity,” says Craig Huffhines, 

AHA executive vice president. “They 

have always been loyal to the industry 

first. They have strived to protect our 

ranching rights, and they have never 

turned down an opportunity to evaluate 

those things that can make commercial 

cattlemen more profitable.” 

The Laceys’ ranch began with Hereford 

and Shorthorn cattle. From 1997 

to 2004 the Laceys exclusively used 

Angus bulls participating in the Harris 

Ranch Partnership for Quality program, 

and as time progressed they say they 

lost heterosis in their herd. “Heterosis

of other breeds to see if they could meet 

the company’s carcass requirements. 

The Hereford Association stepped up 

and was willing to participate. My dad 

has always been a Hereford fan, so it 

was a perfect fit for us.” 

To start the project, 400 mature 

Angus-based cows were sorted and 

identified with electronic ear tags in the 

Lacey Livestock program. Cows were 

randomly mated to 10 Hereford or 10 

Angus bulls, selected based on rigorous 

genetic parameters (expected progeny 

differences [EPDs]) for overall merit. 

... continued 

Raising quality commercial Hereford cattle for over 60 years.

Highmore, SD 57345 www.slc-herefords.com 

The project is being conducted for a 

three-year period, the typical lifespan of 

a bull under Western range conditions. 

To have more numbers for the project 

in year two and three, Lacey Livestock 

increased the number of cows to 600 and 

the number of Hereford bulls to 16. 

“The baldie females are the biggest 

pay off for us participating in the project,” 

Mark says. “It is allowing us to get 

some heterosis back in our cow herd.” 

Mark says he and his father are anxious 

to see the improvements in fertility, 

longevity and health. “In the cattle 

business, fertility and longevity is what 

make us money,” Mark says.

The female data showed that the 

baldie females had a 7% advantage in 

pregnancy rate in 2008. As more data 

are compiled and reviewed, the Laceys 

expect to see even more value with the 

Hereford-sired females and their calves. 

Mark says the heterosis is giving them
