<strong>Murray</strong> <strong>Grey</strong> Pioneer Passes<br />
Carl J. Hansen, Carlynn Ranch, Joliet, MT passed away<br />
on August 21 of <strong>this</strong> year. Carl was instrumental in<br />
forming the Montana Breeders and importing <strong>Murray</strong><br />
<strong>Grey</strong> cattle into Montana. He was a founding member<br />
of the <strong>Murray</strong> <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Association</strong> of the Great Northwest<br />
and participated in shows and displays at fairs all across<br />
the West. Carl was a director of the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Murray</strong><br />
<strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Association</strong> for 6 years. He is survived by his<br />
wife of 61 years, Lynne.<br />

<strong>Grey</strong> Thoughts<br />
George Germaine<br />
AMGA President<br />
Last Christmas, I was looking at the kitchen gadgets in a local variety store. I was completely<br />
lost in my thoughts, when I felt a tap on my arm. I looked down and there stood a cute,<br />
chubby little guy, about six or seven years old. I could see he had a small car in his hand. He<br />
looked up and in a little old man voice said, “Say, could you explain <strong>this</strong> car to me?” I took<br />
the car and looked it over. It was a friction car, which it turned out he had never seen before.<br />
We talked about that car and cars in general for about ten minutes. Then he cocked his head,<br />
and looked at me real hard and said, “Say are you a stranger?” Well, I told him he better go<br />
find his mom, and I had a good chuckle as he walked away. It seemed like a good story, right<br />
up my alley, and I told it to many laughs over the next few weeks. The poor kid had been<br />
hounded at home and school about not talking to strangers, but had never been told what a<br />
stranger was.<br />
I’ve come to realize lately we do the same thing with our new cattle breeders. I have a feeling<br />
that new cattle people probably scratch their heads when they listen to us talking about our<br />
animals. We use so many abbreviations: EPD, AI, BRD, BES, Bangs, SQ IM, ET, BVD, E.<br />
COLI, BO-C, Lepto, IBR, BRSV, BVD, etc.<br />
Our local feed store puts on a cattle night each year. They cook hamburgers, franks, and all<br />
the trimmings. They bring in guest speakers. This year they had a vet from RFD TV. Of<br />
course, the speakers all try to sell their product. This year, it was a variety of Purina products.<br />
About half way through Dr. Chesterfield’s very professionally prepared video program, a<br />
fellow in back said, “Hey, please stop as I don’t have any idea of what you are talking about.”<br />
Several people in attendance gave him a glare, and a couple even made rude comments like<br />
“This is basic stuff everybody should know <strong>this</strong>, or they shouldn’t have animals.” Fortunately,<br />
the vet told him to hang around afterward, and he would go over it with him.<br />
Recently I read an article that used twenty-four different abbreviations-a total of forty-three<br />
times. It looked like it was written in a code very similar to one my pals and I used when I was<br />
about twelve.<br />
What’s my point? My point is let’s keep in mind that we all started as beginners. Beginners<br />
grow into productive members if we nurture them. Some of us were beginners at a young age,<br />
and others got started later in life. Let’s make sure everyone is included when we chew the fat<br />
about our animals.<br />
At the cattle night I mentioned earlier, we were asked to stand up and introduce ourselves and<br />
tell about our farm, stock and any cattle group affiliations we had. I was sure proud when I<br />
was able to say I was the President of the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Murray</strong> <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Association</strong>. We have a great<br />
association, and I think our strength is our ability to work together. Let’s keep it that way.<br />

Board Approves Increase in<br />
“MG News” Advertising Rates<br />
Following a presentation by Gennie Gerow,<br />
Registrar and Office Manager, the members of the<br />
Board of Directors voted to increase the advertising<br />
rates for the “<strong>Murray</strong> <strong>Grey</strong> News”. Gennie pointed out<br />
to the Directors that although the cost of paper, ink and<br />
postage have all increased dramatically over the past 10<br />
years, there have been no increases in advertising rates<br />
in that same period of time. She also noted that the<br />
“News” is currently being published in color and that<br />
a full color version is also posted on the <strong>Association</strong>’s<br />
web site – a tremendous value for the advertisers’<br />
dollars.<br />
On a vote of 10 to 1 the Directors authorized the<br />
Gerows to increase the advertising rates by 10%. But,<br />
in an effort to generate more consistency in advertising,<br />
the Board also agreed that members who agree to<br />
advertise in all 4 <strong>issue</strong>s in any calendar year will get<br />
their ads at the current price. The 4X insertions will<br />
have to be paid before the 1 st of March, but advertisers<br />
will be able to change the content of their ad in every<br />
<strong>issue</strong> should they desire.<br />
The new rate card is below and will take effect<br />
beginning with the March 2009 <strong>issue</strong>.<br />

AMGA Directors Focus on the Future<br />
The Board of Directors of the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Murray</strong> <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Association</strong> met in Louisville, KY on 19<br />
November 2008 at the <strong>Association</strong>’s headquarters. John and Geneva Gerow, our Executive Director and<br />
Registrar, hosted the evening, which included a hamburger barbeque before the meeting.<br />
Board President George Germaine called the meeting to order shortly after 7:30PM. All of the Directors<br />
were present except for Kyle Knight. Sharon Virtue read the minutes of the meeting from 9 February 2008 and<br />
from the special meeting on 5 October 2008. The special meeting had been called to vote on waiving the 15<br />
month limit between membership meetings so that the Annual Membership Meeting could be held in Louisville<br />
in conjunction with the National Show.<br />
Executive Director John Gerow presented the financial report with analysis. He reported that as of 31<br />
October, income was tracking slightly less than projected in the budget for 2008. Gerow suggested that the<br />
decrease in revenue is probably a result of the current instability in the national economy and does not reflect<br />
any downtrend in interest in <strong>Murray</strong> <strong>Grey</strong> cattle.<br />
Gerow went on to show the Directors that while income is trending less than budget, so are expenses.<br />
The Executive Director was not able to offer any specific change in business practices to account for the lower<br />
operating expenses, except to say that Louisville may be a less expensive city in which to do business than was<br />
Reno. The budget for 2008 projected retained earnings of $1000.00 for the year, and Gerow told the Board that<br />
he was confident that retained earnings would meet the budget projection.<br />
The Directors revisited the idea of creating a DVD to promote the use of Group BreedPlan among<br />
members. Sharon Virtue heads up <strong>this</strong> effort and is asking members to send her digital video clips for use in<br />
<strong>this</strong> effort. In other old business, John Gerow explained that our technical people are still working on adding<br />
the codes to all of the AMGA forms to make them more user friendly. He also explained that he is still working<br />
with the software vendor to get all of the EPD categories reported out.<br />
The Directors authorized the national office to proceed with production of the 2009 – 2010 membership<br />
directory, the “Herdbook”. Rate card and information will be available for the members soon. Release of the<br />
“Herdbook” will coincide with the 2009 National Show if at all possible.<br />
The meeting recessed until after the Annual Membership Meeting, when the meeting was reconvened to<br />
elect officers for 2009. George Germaine, Vadar, WA was re-elected President, Mike Birch, White Hall, MD,<br />
was tapped for Vice President. Sharon Virtue agreed to serve again as Secretary and Steve Cummings will be<br />
the Treasurer for 2009.<br />

Membership Elects Directors –<br />
Votes Down DNA Identifiers for Natural Sires<br />
Louisville –<br />
The 2008 <strong>American</strong> <strong>Murray</strong> <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Association</strong> Annual Membership Meeting was held on 20 November<br />
2008 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville. There were about 20 members present.<br />
Executive Director, John Gerow gave a short presentation on the financial condition of the <strong>Association</strong>,<br />
which is sound. He also presented data on the volume of association activity for the year to date. Although<br />
registrations and transfers are running less than projected in the 2008 budget, Gerow anticipates that the<br />
<strong>Association</strong> will end the year with positive retained earnings.<br />
Andy Zinnel, Rockwell City, IA and Michael Jimemez, Ridgefield, WA were re-elected to a second,<br />
three-year term on the Board of Directors. George Virtue, Sweet Home, OR was elected to a first three year<br />
term.<br />
In a surprise move, Annette Pulliam, Shelbyville, KY presented a motion that would require all bull<br />
calves to have DNA identifiers on file with the <strong>Association</strong> at the time of registration. Pulliam suggested<br />
that <strong>this</strong> program would be incredibly pro-active, establishing the first phase of a complete database of DNA<br />
identifiers for the breed. Such a system, Pulliam argued, would offer extraordinary protection for breeders by<br />
having more DNA on hand in the event of disputes.<br />
Other members expressed concern that many members would not understand the value of such a<br />
requirement and that the <strong>Association</strong> would lose both members and registrations. Several members argued<br />
that increasing the cost of owning and marketing <strong>Murray</strong> <strong>Grey</strong>s without an assurance of increased sales prices,<br />
would be a disincentive to registering bulls.<br />
Executive Director, John Gerow told the assembly that, in his view, having such a database would be the<br />
right thing to do, but that <strong>this</strong> is not the right time to do it, in light of a slowing economy. Gerow encouraged<br />
breeders to give serious consideration to submitting DNA on all calves for carcass trait and color analysis and<br />
for DNA identifiers. He said that <strong>this</strong> will be the marketing advantage in the future.<br />
The motion was voted down on an extremely lopsided vote.<br />
building on a ROCK solid foundation<br />
