Editorial Comments...
Jill Bayers Hotchkiss
We are in the
thick of bull sale
season in our area
and they’ve been
going really well.
There is renewed
interest in HereJill Hotchkiss
ford cattle in the
Dakotas and Midwest. Of course it
doesn’t hurt to have $18 wheat and
$5 corn!
Efficiency, temperament, fertility,
longevity, carcass traits and eating
quality along with maternal qualities of Herefords are getting more
attention from commercial producers. Of course the added benefit of
hybrid vigor or heterosis in a crossbreeding program is the equivalent
of FREE POUNDS at weaning. I
think a lot of commercial cattlemen
are really weighing these benefits
and realizing they have a great deal
to gain by using Herefords.
We’ve all been attending sales the
last month but Marc has been the

Herefords Thrive in Rugged, Mountain
Conditions at Strang Herefords
Editor’s Note: Hereford America recently
visited with Mary Strang about their highmountain Hereford operation and here is their
story.
(continued on page 11)
Byron Bayers
Strang Herefords is located near Meeker, CO on the White River.
James Carmichael Memorial
Scholarship Winners Announced
A scholarship fund was
recently established in
memory of Hereford breeder
James “Bubby” Carmichael,
Meadow, SD, who passed
away last fall. One $500
scholarship was to be
awarded each year at the
Cattlemen’s Ball during the
Black Hills Stock Show in
Rapid City. However, this
year there was a tie and two
scholarships were awarded.
James
Carmichael,
Meadow, SD, was a lifelong
Hereford breeder and
Carmichael Scholarship winners Tyler Van Winkle and
Sara Van Newkirk with Dorothy Carmichael.
Bart and Mary Strang, and their
family, have proven the ruggedness and
reliability of Hereford cattle for 46
years. In 1962, Bart started their
purebred operation with 10 registered
heifers he purchased from Von Forrell
Herefords in Wheatland, Wyo. The
family moved from the Carbondale/
Basalt area to the beautiful White River
Valley in 1973 where “Strang
Herefords” has prospered for the last
35 years but where cattle must be
resilient and hardy in order to thrive.
Winters have been known to drop more
than 150 inches of snow and the
temperatures can dip to 50 below zero.
Initially the operation included
commercial as well as registered
Herefords, but when the four Strang
daughters went to college, Bart and
Mary lost their ‘cowboys’ and reverted
to strictly registered cattle. The girls,
(Mary, Ellen, Lisa & Sarah) were an
integral part of the operation growing
up and Bart
always claimed
he’d
rather
work cattle
with them than
anyone. They
did everything
from irrigating,
f e n c i n g ,
haying, chores
to fitting cattle
for the National
Western Stock
Show.
For
twenty-six
years
the
Strang family
exhibited
carloads/pens
of Hereford
bulls as well as
a number of
their herd sires;

to travel the 200 miles the day
before the sale. As is our usual
agenda on trips to ID, we travel to
Lima, a small town about 90 miles
from home, and have breakfast at
a small café, Jan’s, owned by a
person we know. It is a good stop,
on the interstate highway, and
located just as you start the long
climb to the Idaho state line. We
talked to the waitress about the
road conditions and she said that
she heard from a trucker that it was
not too good on the Idaho side. For
over 50 years I have driven this
route, going to sales and hauling

cattleman. James Carmichael was a
quiet man, very devoted to his family
and friends. He had a great appreciation
of all livestock, but especially his
Hereford cattle. He very much
appreciated the quiet, peaceful range
country they lived in. He was honored
as Stockman of the Year by the Black
Hills Stock Show in 1997. James
passed away in September 2007.
The Carmichael family decided to
dedicate a scholarship to the memory
of James Carmichael. His widow,
Dorothy, and his children wish to honor
his name and memory by giving young
people that have a love for Hereford
cattle and agriculture an opportunity to
further their education in the hope of
providing strong leadership for the
agricultural world in the future.
High school seniors and those
already attending colleges or
universities were eligible to apply and
had to be residents of South Dakota,
North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming or
Nebraska.
The first scholarships were presented
on the evening of January 30, 2008 at
the Stockman’s Banquet and Ball
during the Black Hills Stock Show.
The first recipient is Sara Van
Newkirk, Oshkosh, NE. She is the
daughter of Joe and Cyndi Van
Newkirk, and is a senior at Garden
County High School, Oshkosh. She has
two older brothers in college. Sara is a
third generation Hereford breeder
whose family has been in the Hereford
business for over 100 years. This young
lady has worked at a number of jobs in
order to raise money to purchase some
registered Hereford heifers. She went
to her local banker on her own and
arranged a loan to purchase a group of
bred heifers. She put her car and the
cattle she already owned up for
collateral and she is well on her way to
paying off that loan. In addition to
raising Hereford cattle Sara’s list of
activities is long. She is involved and
she is a leader. Sara plans to attend the
University of Wyoming this fall and
major in Animal Science.

The other scholarship recipient is
Tyler Van Winkle, Tyndall, SD. He is
the son of Randy and Lisa Weier, and
is a senior at Bon Homme high school,
Tyndall, SD. Tyler got started with
Herefords at a very young age, along
with his dad. They bought their first
Herefords in 1992, the Tyler was born.
America’s No. 1 Dams of
Distinction herd.
(Based on efficiency.)
At the age of five Tyler lost his father
in an unfortunate farm related accident.
Tyler’s mother did not let the dream of
Hereford cattle die and continued on
with the cow/calf operation. Tyler is the
oldest of three boys and was always the
helper. 4-H, FFA and the Jr. Hereford
Association have all been a big part of
this young man’s life. Tyler’s mom
remarried and the family works
together in their small but growing
Hereford and farming operation. Tyler
plans to attend SDSU this fall majoring
in Animal Science and pre-vet.
Each year, the American Hereford Association
scans its database looking for Hereford dams
with high levels of fertility, performance and
longevity. Rausch Hereford dams are found
most often. 377 head of Rausch Hereford
Mother Cows have qualified for the Dams of
Distinction list.

grandchildren in later years. Mary
describes their first years in Denver
when she and Bart were definitely the
“go-fers” while the girls learned how
to fit from neighboring exhibitors and
their herdsmen. The girls were, also,
very active in the Colorado Junior
Hereford Association and 4-H. Each
had some registered cows whose get
went a long way to putting them
through college; and by the time they
finished their 4-H careers, they’d
shown a total of 74 fat Hereford steers.
In 1991 the Strangs introduced a
small herd of registered Black Angus
cattle to their operation. Their goal has
been to develop functional Hereford
and Angus cattle for high altitudes with
low Pulmonary Arterial Pressure (or
PAP as it is called). The Hereford breed
is known as one of the best for low PAP,
but it is more of a challenge to breed
consistently low PAP Angus. Although
it is not an exact science, PAP is the
only tool the industry has in trying to
avoid brisket disease at high altitudes.
To this end, the Strangs are working
with Dr. Tim Holt, DVM, at Colorado
State University. Dr. Holt is an authority
on Pulmonary Arterial Pressure and
concurs that an animal’s PAP is
significantly affected by his/her
genetics, environment and, to a lesser
degree, nutrition.
Genetic improvement has always
been the focal point for Bart & Mary.
The bottom line requires that they
produce functional cattle that will
perform efficiently in the many climates
and under the varying management
practices of their diverse group of
buyers. To this end, they’ve built their
breeding programs on cattle with a
balance of traits (as single trait selection
usually means a sacrifice of fertility
and/or structural correctness). The
program focuses on muscular, long
cattle with fertility, easy fleshing ability,
milking ability, neat bags with small
teats, structural correctness, carcass
traits, moderate birth weights and
optimal dimension to facilitate calving
ease. Strang’s Hereford cattle are also
known for eye pigment, something Bart
started breeding for in 1993 with his
purchase of goggle eyed HR Red Adv
233 2ET. A year later JNHR 414
Diamnd 164D joined the breeding
program. This goggle eyed sire’s legacy
is the set of females in today’s herd.
Currently the program is one of

Customer Service Counts
“Life is a people business,” says
Mary and “the integrity of the people
is as important as the integrity of the
cattle. It’s equally important to make
sure your cattle are working for your
customers and to stand behind the cattle
100%.” Bart & Mary have always been
diligent in paying close attention to
their customers’ needs and try to be
transparently honest in all dealings.

Merchandizing is an expensive part

Byron’s Editorial...
Private Treaty
Bull Sale
Beginning March 1

with possible conditions, and I
wondered just what we might
encounter, but little did I realize what
was ahead. As we motored up the
highway by the Snowline Grazing Assn.
property, the wind and snow became
more intense and we were rapidly
working into a real blizzard. At this time
we were about 5 miles from the top of
Monida Pass where you enter into
Idaho at about 7,500 feet of altitude.
Suddenly all of the instrument lights on
the car went crazy and all of the red
warning lights came on and the warning
buzzers went off. By that time we were
beyond the last chance for a turn around
and visibility was near zero.
I thought the car had a serious
malfunction so I found a wide spot on
the road and stopped and called the
Onstar people. I asked them to diagnose
the car and gave them my trouble
report. Within a few minutes they
reported back that all functions seemed
normal except the instruments and so
we had no choice but to journey on the
last 100 miles. We traveled about 30
miles at 10 to 25 miles per hour because
at times you would have to stop to find
the road edge. Everyone had their
flasher lights on and thankfully
everyone was careful — except two big
over the road semis, who passed us in
this condition and when they did, we
could not see anything for several
minutes. The temperature by this time
had fallen to -5 degrees below. We
journeyed into Idaho Falls in these
conditions and checked into the hotel
and called Elkingtons, who I found out
had been trying to call me. I turned off
the phone when the driving conditions
were dangerous.

We learned the road was closed
behind us and we learned that the roads
in every direction from Idaho Falls were
then closed. Elkingtons told me that
they had debated for two days if they
should have the sale but several people
who were already in Idaho Falls told
them if they cancelled, they would have
to go home and probably not come back
and one was a volume bull buyer. I
looked the cattle over and marked my
catalog for a man who needed me to
buy some bulls for him, and in the five
below zero weather, the chill was
evident.
While looking over the cattle I came
upon and met Richard Snedden from
Maricopa, CA. It was a real pleasure to
meet Richard and we had some very
nice visits before the sale. Snedden
bought the top selling bull the next day
for his California herd. The Elkingtons
made the decision to go with the sale
as scheduled and hoped the roads, or
at least some of them, would be open
the next day. Well, the next day was
much better and many of the people
who wanted to attend made the trip, and
the field staff from all the publications
did a great job of working to call
prospective buyers and in the end the
sale was much better than we could
have thought on the previous day. This
was a good set of cattle and a tough
break for these folks. We came home
in somewhat better conditions, at least
we could see the road. I had the warning
horn disconnected but no answer to the
instrument problems. The shop in Idaho
Falls was puzzled. At least the car ran
alright and we kept the tank full.
The next week I had to head back into
Idaho for the Frank Rodgers sale in
Buhl, which is about 270 miles beyond
where we went the week before.
Pauline gave up on me saying that the
last trip was enough for her, so I headed
out solo. The dealer in Dillon wanted
to try and fix my problem before I left
but after two and one-half hours in the
shop I told them, “I have to go as I still
have 400 miles to go today!” So without
instruments in the car, down the road I
motored. Again the road was good to
the Idaho line and this time it was
mostly real slick and icy, except from
Idaho Falls to Pocatello where I hit the
ground blizzard again and very poor
visibility. But I journeyed on and
arrived in Buhl at Frank’s about 4:00
in the PM.
Frank was in the same situation as
Elkington’s the week before. Some
roads were already closed and the storm
was coming. Frank felt he had no
choice, he had to go on with the sale.
After looking the cattle over I drove in
to Buhl to the motel and ate dinner at
Buhl’s finest (just fair) and after calling
several people I hit the sack as this old
body was tired from the long trip. The
next morning I looked out and the car
was covered with about eight inches of

operation.
snow, visibility was about a 100 yards
and it was chilly. I thought, here we go
again! I got out to Frank’s and the place
was pretty quiet and stayed that way
until about lunch time, (it is funny how
people seem to get to a sale just before
lunch) when about 100 people began
wandering in. The start was held up by
Auctioneer Butch Booker until the late
comers could see the cattle and have
lunch.
Again, this good group of cattle sold
well in view of all of the weather
problems. Again the roads that morning
were closed in all directions for a time,
thus discouraging the traveling buyers.
The road to Pocatello was closed that
morning but I thought by evening it
should be open, so after the sale I filled
the tank and headed down the road. I
made it into Pocatello and to the
Ramada, where I encountered a man
from Montana who just came down
from Helena. He said, “We just made
it through Monida Pass and it is a mess,
they closed it right behind us! There is
a six car pile up on the northbound side
and it will probably be closed all night!”
I then went into the Ramada to check
in and five truck drivers with UPS were
getting rooms. I asked if they had road
problems and they said, yes, the road
is closed to Salt Lake City. Well, so goes
the saga of one of the Hereford America
roadrunners!
The story isn’t over yet so bear with
me. The next morning I arose early and
checked the weather. Snow with 40
mile per hour winds, icy road
conditions to the north. Oh well, I need
to get home so I hit the interstate. The
conditions made the travel slower but
just before Idaho Falls the roads were
better so I sped up some and wheeled
through Idaho Falls at a good clip, and
just after I moved around a curve in the
road I hit some sheer ice and
encountered several cars creeping over
it. I slowly braked the car and was
fortunate enough to miss a car on the
side of the road, he viewing a car that
had just slipped off the road. Then in
the next 20 miles, three big semi rigs
had overturned from the icy, windy
conditions. I was appreciative that I had
put tires on the car with steel pins in
them. (In fact Marc and I had done this
in Canada when we had traction trouble
there.) These “studs” really help the
traction. The troubling Monida Pass
Jill’s Editorial...
big road warrior going to 13 sales in
the last three weeks. Dad had some harrowing travels over icy Idaho roads to
get to sales and as I write this he’s
headed to Idaho again. The flight he
refers to in his editorial I was on and
remember quite well, at least from a
kid’s perspective. But I’m here to write
about it too as is he. I think I was about
10 and we were flying to Oregon with
our whole family and my aunt Jean. I’m
sure his memory on this one is better
than mine but I think we were going to
see my cousin (Jean’s daughter) and go
to what was then called the All American Hereford Expo at Stone Ranch. All
of us kids, Kathy, Rich and I were really excited to be going to Expo. I’m
not quite older than dirt but I think that
might have been one of the first Expos.
Well we were piled in the 310 and flying from Montana over the Cascades
into Oregon when all the instruments

was cleared of the wrecks by the time
I passed over it and I pushed on home
thinking, “You know I have to go back
twice more this winter over this danged
Monida Pass.”
Of course still no instruments, so
when I got home I called the Service
Manager in Dillon for GM products
and said this has got to be fixed. He
said, “Byron, this is a deal we have not
seen before so leave the car and we will
find the problem.” After calling around
to all the experts at GM for two days,
they found the problem. The module
in the air bags went bad, (that light was
on too) and that affected the rest of the
car computer to destroy the instrument
readings and warning lights.
Everything is fine now but you wonder
about this world of computers.
Marc and Jill, and the other reps from
all of the publications go through this
all winter like I did on these two trips
but I hope they don’t lose all of their
car instruments, too. I had that happen
one day in our Cessna 310 airplane
when I was in the weather and lost all
my flight instruments but one. I will
tell you about that another day, but I
will give you a little clue, I am writing
to tell about it!
The sales have been very good in
general throughout the area we have
covered. The top-end of the sales in
many cases are bulls going to

of the purebred breeders are not willing
to pay. In all cases the cow herd is

went. The air was blue for just a little
while when the gravity of the situation
set in. We started taking on a little bit
of ice. In flying that is definitely not a
good thing and can severely affect the
plane’s ability to stay in the air if it gets
very bad. Shortly thereafter (it probably
didn’t seem short for the pilot and after
all I was one of the passengers) we were
able to start descending from the Cascades and the icing abated. I’m not sure
when the instruments finally came back
but we had them in time to navigate and
land at the airport. I’m sure Dad will
tell the rest of that story in another issue. I’d say there were probably a bunch

What does the CATTLEMAN
want in a herd bull?
We believe that the cattleman wants a healthy, sound animal that is able to breed up
to forty head of cows in a breeding season. Obviously, in order to do that, the bull in
question has to have many qualities including: flesh ability, structural soundness, and
high libido just to name a few.
We always have this in mind when we raise our bulls and keep only our best. Our
cattle are middle of the road frame type and are grown without creep. If they won’t grow
on our grass and home grown feed, then they won’t be sold to you.
If this type of bull will work for you, then contact us today!

Grover Jelden, 90, of rural Harrisburg,
OR, died December 17, 2007 from
pneumonia. He was much loved and
cherished by family and friends and wellknown for his cattle herd on Jelden
Hereford Ranch in the beautiful
Willamette Valley in Oregon. The Jelden
name is also remembered in the
neighboring communities of Everly, Iowa,
where Grover and his wife, Ora, have
been leasing out the 320 acre farm that
Grover grew up on.
Grover was born in Everly, IA, to John
and Sophia Jelden in 1917. His father,
John, was very proud of Grover’s abilities
and trusted Grover with his livestock
business and daily affairs early on. At age
11, Grover chauffeured his dad to Sioux
City, IA, on a business trip. Sioux City is
about 100 miles from the Jelden Farm in
Everly, a long way for a young boy to
drive! Grover was a necessity to his dad
on shipping days to Chicago. He was agile
and hard-working and valued for his
ability to see, at a glance, which animals
were ready for market and which were
not. His father was a livestock buyer and
was well-respected. Grover liked to
reflect on the 20 hour “day” when they
received and loaded 66 train cars of hogs,
20 cars of cattle and a couple cars of
whole oats. Imagine loading those 4,000
squealing hogs!
In 1942, at age 25, Grover married his
true love, Ora Schumann, from Hartley, IA,
in Omaha, NE. They settled in Everly where
Grover owned and operated the Farmer’s
Elevator, along with being his dad’s righthand man. Tired of the hectic pace, the
couple moved to the Black Hills, Custer,
SD, where they owned and operated a ranch
for a few years. They had expanded their
of people on that flight praying because
everything just seemed to come back together and the rest of our trip was safe
and uneventful. That’s my recollection
of the trip but I’d be willing to bet Dad
has a different version of the story.
It’s sort of interesting but when I was
growing up our family flew a lot and it
was mostly to Hereford events. My
brother and sister are 5 and 4 years older
than me so they, correction, my brother,
always thought it was really funny to
push the younger sister into the window
while banking. (That’s a steep turn for
you non-fliers.) For a 5 year old that’s
pretty traumatic! I guess we all survived
it and we made it to some great Hereford events when we were kids.
I’ve been to several sales this year
and have been fairly fortunate with the
roads and the travel situations. We don’t
do much flying in the winter because
you never know what the weather is
going to be like along the way or when
you get to your destination. I haven’t
been to as many sales as usual because
most of the time I’m chained to the desk
working on ads and the newspaper and
fielding a lot of phone calls and e-mails.
We’ve all had some enjoyable and interesting conversations with a lot of you.
Almost every day I have questions or
family with the birth of a son, Monty, in
1944 and a daughter, Valerie, in 1946. Now
Grover and Ora were asked to take over
Grover’s dad’s farm at Everly, which they
did despite the sadness of leaving many
new friends and the beauty of the pine trees.
Grover became avidly interested in
registered horned Herefords and in ten years
developed a top-notch herd through linebreeding and a trained eye for quality and
conformation. Grover and Ora and family
would sell carloads of bulls at the Denver
show and sale. When John Jelden, Grover’s
father, died the Jeldens decided to disperse
their 250 head of Herefords and move. The
successful dispersion was January 3, 1959
and the family moved to the Oregon ranch
where Grover and Ora have lived until
Grover’s recent death. Grover enjoyed
building another purebred herd of
Herefords in Oregon, showing at the State
Fair in Portland. The Monty Jelden family
is still in the cattle business and of course
all wish Grover was here to see the new
crop of calves.
Grover is survived by his wife of 65
years, Ora Jelden; son Monty and wife Char
Jelden of Harrisburg; daughter Valerie
Weaver of Lebanon, OR; grandchildren,
Amber, Casse, Tessi, and Travis and their
spouses; great-grandchildren, Mikayla,
Michael, Garrett, Hunter, Duran, and
Meguire; many nieces, nephews and dear
friends.
Grover’s life and influences carry on with
much appreciation for his untiring devotion
to his family, God, and the self-integrity he
believed in.

John Wesley Rakestraw, age 50, of
Rockmart, GA, passed away on Friday,

Rakestraw.
conversations with breeders on the epilepsy situation. It seems like there is still
a lot of confusion about the issue. Dr.
Jon Beever, University of Illinois, is the
lead researcher and isolated the epilepsy
gene in cattle. We thank Dr. Beever for
his dedication to the breed and to this
particular genetic defect. There are now
tests for epilepsy and the diluter gene.
If you have lines that might be affected
it would be in your best interest, your
customers’ best interests and the breed’s
to test for these defects and eliminate
any carriers. If you have questions call
Jack Ward, AHA’s director of breed improvement at 816-842-3757 or Dr.
Beever at 217-333-4194.
Breeders, don’t stick your head in the
sand! Had there been tests like this in
the early days of dwarfism and other
defects, it would have saved many
breeders a lot of anguish, pain, money
and genetics that could have been used.
Still our breed is miles ahead of others
as far as the number of genetic defects.
We have very few compared to some
other breeds who have old problems resurfacing. We don’t want that to happen in the Hereford breed. As seedstock
producers you need to seriously consider the tools available to you and use
them proactively.

NEW BVD VACCINES: What’s the Story?
New diagnostic tests have opened
up a range of possibilities for the
control of Bovine Virus Diarrhea
(BVD) in cattle that simply did not
exist a few years ago. Now there are
a number of new BVD vaccines
available that will also help
producers control this costly disease.
Refresher course—what problems
does the BVD virus cause?
The BVD virus can cause a wide
spectrum of disease problems. BVD
virus infection can be fairly mild to
fatal. In well cared for cattle it can cause
diarrhea, with damage starting in the
mouth and extending throughout the
gastrointestinal tract. Hence, the name:
Bovine Virus Diarrhea. BVD is also a
major cause of respiratory disease in
young cattle going into stocker
operations, backgrounder operations,
and feedlots. It can cause abortions or
reproductive failure in cows. One of
the most important problems caused by
BVD is the Persistently Infected (PI)
animal. These PI cattle are actually
infected with the BVD virus before they
are born — at about 80-100 days of
gestation (before 125 days) in most
cases. Many of these calves are born
alive but cannot develop any immune
response or protection against the BVD
virus. They are sub-optimal performers
(some obvious, some not). They also
shed billions of virus particles every
day in their saliva, urine, and feces.
They act as the “Typhoid Mary” for the
entire herd — infecting and re-infecting
other cattle in the herd and causing
continued illness in the entire group of
cattle.
What do we need to remember to
prevent BVD?
The most important points to control
and prevention of BVD are (1)
adequate vaccination of young cattle
and replacement cattle, (2) annual
vaccination (boosters) for the herd, (3)
prevent the introduction of PI cattle,
and (4) elimination of any PI cattle from
the herd.
How do the new vaccines help?
As listed above two of the 4 most
important control points for BVD have
to do with vaccination. We have
recognized for some time that the BVD
virus mutates rapidly and that there are
many possible strains of the BVD virus
in nature. The fact that this virus can
change so easily creates a bigger
challenge for vaccines. There are type
1 and type 2 BVD viruses and also subtypes, i.e. 1b, 2a, etc. The new vaccines
have included more than one sub-type
and this helps to better protect the cattle
against BVD infection and disease.
Another important control point is the
prevention of PI cattle. Some of the
vaccines have been developed and
tested to provide fetal protection. That
is to say, vaccinating the cow or heifer
can protect the calf from becoming
infected before 125 days of gestation
(pregnancy).
How well do these vaccines work?
A recent study looked at that very
question. In this study, there were 30
pregnant beef heifers that were comingled with 4 adult cows which were
PI’s (the Typhoid Marys we talked
about earlier). Fifteen of the 30
pregnant heifers had been vaccinated
with a killed BVD vaccine (BVD types
1a and 2) prior to breeding. The other
15 heifers were non-vaccinated
controls. The vaccine was a commercial
vaccine also containing IBR, PI 3,
BRSV, and Lepto 5 way fractions. Of
the 15 non-vaccinated control heifers,
one aborted and 14 had calves that were
infected with the BVD virus when they
were taken by Caesarian section. Of
the 15 vaccinated heifers there were
only 4/15 calves that were infected with
the BVD virus.
What does this study tell us?
First, having the 30 heifers
(vaccinated and controls) housed
together with 4 adult PI cows is a
tremendous challenge. It takes a very
good vaccine to provide any protection.
In this trial the vaccine fully protected
73% of the calves and all the heifers
from disease due to BVD. We learned
the following: (1) this is an excellent
vaccine that provides very good
protection in the face of a very stiff
challenge, (2) no vaccine is perfect, and
(3) prevention of PI’s can be as
important as prevention of clinical
disease.
What else do I need to do?
The new vaccines can be very
important tools in controlling BVD;
however, it is also important to keep
PI’s out of your herd. The old saying,
“Good fences make good neighbors” is
something to remember along these
lines. Avoid having your pregnant cows
(particularly cows less than 4 months
pregnant) come into contact with cattle
from outside your herd. The stocker
calves that use winter range adjacent
to a spring calving herd can be a very
high-risk situation. Also, have all new
bulls and replacement females tested
for PI status.
What samples are needed for these
tests?
The two most common tests require
either a skin sample or a serum sample.
The skin sample is usually taken from
the ear. The serum sample is derived
from a blood sample that is allowed to
clot, spun in a centrifuge and the clear
serum is collected with a disposable
pipette.
What is the bottom line?
Work with your veterinarian to select
and use these new BVD vaccines in
your herd to help prevent new
infections. Also, consult with your
veterinarian regarding testing for BVD
PI in your herd, see if it makes sense
for you and your operation. Make sure
all new cattle coming into your herd are
free of BVD — no PI cattle.

2008 Watertown
Winter Farm Show
Dedicated to Jim
Endres
Jim Endres, Willow Creek Farms,
Watertown, SD.
by Terry O’Keefe,
Watertown Public Opinion Staff Writer
Over many years, the Watertown
Winter Farm Show (Watertown, SD)
has honored families and individuals
who have lent their time and talents
towards making the Farm Show the
success it is today. In 2008, the Farm
Show is being dedicated to a person
who can trace his involvement to the
very beginnings of the annual event.
Back in the late 1940s, Jim Endres
was a student at Watertown High
School, then located near uptown
Watertown, very close to the original
site of the Farm Show in the City
Auditorium. “Back in 1947-48, I was
in high school in Watertown, only a
block away from the Farm Show,”
Endres said recently.
Recalling the events that led to his
first involvement in the show, Endres
says the school’s agriculture teacher
basically made the decision for his
students. “They (the farm show
organizers) needed some help moving
livestock in and out,” he said. “So we
helped move the cattle and hogs. “The
livestock was kept in the basement, so
we had to move them back and forth
for the shows.”
He and his wife Maxine have farmed
a few miles east of Watertown for many
years, raising their family and
eventually turning much of the day-today operations of Willow Creek Farms
over to their sons Greg and Terry.
Through the years, the Endres family
has been heavily involved in the
livestock side of the Farm Show, first
through the South Dakota Hereford
Association, then Jim was directly
involved in bringing swine into the
livestock mix.
In the 1960s, Endres was a member
of the Watertown Chamber of
Commerce Ag Committee, the group
that organizes and puts on the Farm
Show each year. “Burdette Solum was
the chairman at that time and I had the
idea for a gilt show,” Endres said. “He
said go for it and then we had a swine
show. “The (swine) breeders got

together and formed a committee to put
on the show.” The swine show was a
staple of the Watertown Winter Farm
Show for the next three decades until
the late 1990s. Then a combination of
decreasing numbers of breeders and
increasing concerns over transmittable
diseases in hogs, forced its cancellation.
“I was a little disappointed when there
was no place for the swine show,”
Endres said. “But the swine industry
has changed — fewer producers raising
more hogs.”
In the early 1970s, Endres was
elected to the South Dakota State
Legislature and had to curb his
involvement on the Ag Committee. But
that didn’t stop his involvement in the
Farm Show. Even though the
Legislature is in session during the time
the Farm Show runs, he and his sons
have managed to continue showing
livestock and being involved in other
areas of the show. “My son Greg is
involved with Polled Hereford cattle
and now, my grandchildren are also
involved in showing (cattle),” Endres
said.
Endres remains active in the farm
operation as well as working in the real
estate business in Watertown. “I’ve
always liked raising cattle and
farming,” Endres said, adding the Farm
Show is still an annual event for himself
and his family. “Oh, I wouldn’t miss
it,” he said.
Looking back on those early years
and holding the show in the city
auditorium, Endres can reflect on just
how much the show has grown and
changed over the years. “It just outgrew
(the auditorium),” he said. “Even when
we first started at the Extension
Complex, it was a lot different.” Over
the last decade or so, the Extension
Complex on West Kemp Avenue has
been expanded twice, adding much
needed space for one of the most
popular farm shows in the region. “I
know a lot of consignors who can’t
believe the way people here and the
business community support the Farm
Show,” Endres said. “Watertown has a
fine reputation for supporting the Farm
Show.”
Along with the growth of the Farm
Show has come the addition of more
educational seminars and commercial
exhibits. Endres said those have been
some of the biggest changes in recent
years. “Keeping up with new
technology — years ago we didn’t see
things like the new GPS guidance
systems, or the newest chemicals,” he
said. “It educates farmers and there is
a lot to learn. “It’s been a big plus for
farmers of crops and livestock.”
There is another aspect of the Farm
Show that Endres said can’t be left out
of the picture. “Sometimes people
forget, it’s a great time for socializing,”
he said, adding that people have made
a lot of friends over the years and it just
keeps growing. “We know more people
through the Hereford Association,”
Endres said. “It (the Farm Show) used
to be a little more localized, but now it
covers so much more of an area. “And
the number of cattle breeds at the show
has increased.”
When Codington County Extension
Educator Chuck Langner recently told
Endres the 2008 Watertown Winter
Farm Show would be dedicated in his
name, Endres said he was taken off
guard. “I never really thought about that
(the honor),” he said. “We just always
had a lot of fun (at the Farm Show). “I
was surprised and if we have been able
to help the farm show in some way, I’m
very proud of that.”

the cost of publishing the Nebraska Association has decided it would be more
beneficial to the organization to utilize Hereford America.

Suz’s Turn
Hi everyone. I returned home a few weeks ago after spending
some time on an agricultural leadership seminar to Portugal, Spain,
and Morocco. I am a member of the Nebraska LEAD program. I
contacted Jay Elfeldt to help me find some articles with Herefords
on them. As usual, he came through for me! There are people
throughout these three countries with Herefords on their caps or
coffee mugs! I appreciate the help Jay. I took some pictures with
me on the international study seminar. I had an opportunity to
show some people what our Herefords look like. They thought
our cattle over here were huge. They also thought Brian looked
like he should play for the Huskers. You might be thinking how
someone from Morocco might have even heard of the Huskers
but they have! Several people that we spent time with have their
doctorates from UNL, Iowa State or Oklahoma State. They know
the Midwest. I visited with a professor from Morocco that has

even been out to North Platte to the
Research Center. Who knew worlds away
someone could talk Huskers with us.
Being worlds away from home, I
realized the old saying “it’s a small world”
is so true. I was inspired by so many things
on this study seminar. As you noticed I
didn’t call this a trip. I was there for a
purpose. To learn about international
trade, cultures, agriculture and most
importantly leadership. There are so many
styles of leadership. Some are more direct
while others are more guidance driven;
letting you figure things out while they
stand closely by. There are children in
these countries that speak four and five
languages. The chances they will have in
business will be enhanced just due to the
fact they are so bilingual. I met a fourteen
year old girl that spoke English, French,
Arabic, and English. She was learning a
fifth language when we spoke with her.
We asked her father, a government official
of Morocco, if he worried about his
children conspiring against him in a
language he didn’t understand and he
replied “they already do!” He didn’t care
though; he wants them to be better than
he is. I thought to myself then how similar
we are.We all want more for our children,
we want them to survive in agriculture,
and be successful. We gave people from
the countries gifts, like I explained. Rain
gauges, calendars with cowboy scenes,
Husker socks, seed corn caps, etc. Only
one in our group brought along candy.
This was popular when touring Morocco
with the children.I had no gifts for
children or teenagers, but I did have
pictures of our boys rodeoing. I asked our
teenage countepart if she’d like this
picture of American teenage cowboys and
she lit up like a lamp! I got a huge thankyou hug from her! We talked as a group
how children are children no matter where
you are at. Teenage girls like teenage
boys, and children everywhere can’t resist
candy! We saw these children herding
small groups of sheep and goats or one
cow. We saw them getting water for their
livestock, shopping with their parents, and
pulling weeds to feed their cow.
We learned about how they go to school
and how they acquire land. We saw an
agricultural school/college they can
attend. After some of our experiences, we
would meet in our hotel and discuss items
of particular interest to us. Some of what
they do in these countries is still being
done by hand. One would think time
forgot some of these places and how much
better we could do things with our
equipment, bigger and better right? But
what would they do with all the people
bigger and better equipment might put out
of work? Although we saw some nice size
fields, our tractors would look so out of
place. We had a lot of discussion on how
we might improve farming practices
overseas but we also discussed how not
to get in the mind set of being the quick
fixer.
In these countries they are doing a lot
of things right: they have good fuel
efficiency in diesel engines and they can
run three species on the same land. In
Morocco animal husbandry is definitely
there. There was always someone with the
livestock at all times. Fire control is done
by the goats grazing and water issues are
present over there just as they are here.
Traceability of products in Spain is
present and we got a message that there,
agriculture listens to the consumer and in
coops, the membership makes decisions.
They can package milk in special
packaging so that it doesn’t need
refrigeration until it is open. The packing
industry can harvest meat to fit the
cultural existence needs of three religions.
They worry and talk about erosion. GMO
corn was discussed as well as alternative
fuel sources for energy.
I tell you all about this because I could
sit on the coast of Spain and see the coast
of Africa and although at that very
moment, looking across the ocean I felt
so far from home but yet I felt how small
the world really is.
Leadership in small towns can be really
tough. Sometimes leaders are elected due
to popularity instead of being the best
choice through life experiences, etc. What
are qualities you look for the most in a
leader? With the political circus going on
the U.S.A. right now how do we look to
foreign nations? Maybe we shouldn’t care
what they think. But I think we should.
You can go to the European Union and to
Morocco and see the loyalty they still
have towards their royalty. Even if they
didn’t agree with something they might
have done they still talk about positive
things they did. There was a sense of
loyalty there. When you see Americans
on TV in a foreign country, like on CNN,
we don’t always look like we’re united.
We live in a country with extraordinary
freedoms. I can appreciate this. But I
didn’t feel united. There is a way to “agree
to disagree”. I believe we need more
leadership in our homes. We need to show
our children and grandchildren, nieces,

Jack and Bev Beeson, Wayne, NE were the 2008 Black Hills Stock Show Hereford Honorees.
Jeff Baker, Baker Herefords, Rapid City, SD made the presentation at the Hereford Show at the
Black Hills Stock Show.
JB Ranch, Jack and Bev Beeson, Wayne, NE are the 2008 Black Hills Stock
Show Hereford Honorees. Jack grew up in Garber, OK during the drought years
and Bev came from Beaver Creek, MN, one of 12 children. Jack borrowed the
money to buy his first registered Hereford cow for an FFA project and has owned
registered Herefords ever since. In 1949 Jack moved to Wayne, NE where he
went to work as the herdsman for Leland Herman at Hervale Farms. In 1954 at
the Sioux Empire Farm Show Jack met Bev who was there with her family
showing their Shorthorns. Jack needed help on show day so he figured why not
trade with a good looking gal that had some sisters that could help, too. They
continued to trade help at fairs and sales over the next few years. Jack claims he
drove over 50,000 miles visiting the South Dakota school teacher. He finally
decided it would cheaper to just marry her and in 1957 they were married,
celebrating their 50 anniversary in June 2007 with a great crowd of friends and
Hereford breeders. The have one son, Jock, who ranches near Gordon, NE.
Jack and Bev continued as a herdsman team at Hervale Farms, showing
champions across the country, from county fairs to the big shows like Denver,
Ft. Worth and the National Hereford Show. One of their highlights was in 1966
when Bev was chosen National Herdsman of the Year. Bev laughs and says this

of Junior National shows Jock won both the
Junior and Senior divisions of showmanship and
speech contests.
After working at Hervale Farms for 27 years
Jack and Bev went out on their own and started
the JB Ranch. Their goal was to raise the best
bulls they could for both the commercial and
purebred breeder. Jack and Bev will tell you that
their greatest accomplishments over all these
years have been making so many
good friends, repeat customers and
all of the cattle people they have
had the privilege to know. The
Hereford breed has paid for their
ranch and been their way of life for
over 50 years.
From the 1974 Polled Hereford World —
“The best seat in the house (at the 52nd
National Polled Hereford Sale) was occupied
by young Jock Beeson, son of Jack and Bev
Beeson, Wayne, NE, who made a tour of the
sale ring on his mother’s back when she led
out the Lot 11 bull XL 324 for Hervale Farms,
Wayne, NE.”

and nephews there is a way to see both side of an issue, make educated decisions,
and get the facts. It is hard to do. Not everyone is running for political office I
realize this. But, being level headed, lady and gentlemanly like will still get you
somewhere. Being a leader means standing up, sometimes trailing behind and
helping followers, sometimes it means speaking up and sometimes being quietdad used to say you can’t hear with your mouth open.
I would like for you to challenge stereotypes. Challenge yourself to
forget about the ones you may have and to change how others see us. Whether
it is regarding the color of skin, what people think of rural America or how
others perceive those of us that raise Hereford cattle. With this I wish you good
luck. Let me know how it goes.
Until next time,

Jimmy Carter 2008 North Dakota Winter Show Livestock Show Honoree
The North Dakota Winter Show is
proud to announce Jimmy Carter,
Rocklake, ND, as the 2008 Livestock
Honoree.
Jimmy attended elementary school at
Virginia #1 and quit after the eighth
grade when his father died of a massive
heart attack. Jimmy the youngest of
eight children took over the family farm
at the age of 13. Jimmy continued to
farm with his family and ventured off
to his own farmstead in the Fall of 1957
with his bride the late Irene Carter.
Commercial and dairy cattle were
always part of the family farm until
1966. A change was made in the fall of
1965 when Jimmy selected 5 bred
Polled Hereford females from Sam
Bradley. This was the beginning of the
Carter’s Polled Hereford operation.
Several cows in herd still go back to a
foundation female that was included in
that purchase, “Baby Lady the Sixth”.
AI was used beginning in 1977 and
Jimmy completed AI School in 1979
with the practice continuing to date.
Bull sales were done by private treaty
until recently when the Carter’s moved
to a public auction each spring. In 1995
a new dimension was added to the farm,
TNT Angus, a purebred Black Angus
operation in which Jimmy’s son Terry
began.
Jimmy is a member of All Nations
Lutheran Church, North Dakota
Hereford Association, North Dakota
Angus Association, and the North
Dakota Stockmen’s Association. He is
also a lifetime member to the American

Sioux Empire Farm Show Champions
UW researcher on advisory
board of major corn gene
sequencing project
Sioux Falls, SD • January 24, 2008 • Judge: Kevin Jensen
Grand Champion Bull was HPH 36N Tage 405T, a 03/17/07
son of HF 4L Beyond 36N owned by Hanson’s Polled Herefords
of Conde, SD. He was sold to Darwin & Cindy Aman of Eureka,

A University of Wyoming faculty member is
an advisory board member of a major project
that has mapped the corn plant’s massive
genome sequence.
Anne Sylvester, an associate professor in the
UW College of Agriculture’s Department of
Molecular Biology, is one of the speakers at the
50th annual Maize Genetics Conference Feb. 27March 2 in Washington, D.C.
The full sequence of the maize genome will
be publicly announced Feb. 28.
The gene sequencing project leader, Richard
Wilson, director of Washington University’s
Genome Sequencing Center, in St. Louis, Mo.,
said the sequence map is the holy grail for
scientists trying to improve a crop that is traded
globally for food, animal feed and fuel,
according to the Associated Press (AP).
Beyond the global implications, Sylvester said,
“The research is relevant to the University of
Wyoming because of the impact of the sequence
on the genomics research, which is already
available online (www.maizegdb.org/
sequencing_project.php), and there are many
genomics researchers on campus including
several in molecular biology.”

February 4th, 2008
61 Bulls - $4,707
Auctioneer: Roger Jacobs
Topp Herefords held their Volume
VIII sale in Bismarck, ND Monday with
snow falling, wind blowing and
temperatures hovering around zero. But
it didn’t keep the buyers away as Ryan
and family had one of their most
successful annual production sales.
Ryan’s concept of not offering just a
bull to a prospective buyer but a
program has paid off big time. Ryan’s
work with Tom Bresnahan to include
Sinner Bros. & Bresnahan, a feeding
operation, in his program is optimizing
the efficiencies of the Hereford and
Topp Hereford genetics, especially
useful in these times of high feed prices.
Top-selling bull was Lot 18, TH
805H 20N Spartan 125T, a 03/17/07
son of NPH 20X Spartan 20N and out

lot of interest in the Victor bred calves
in Topp’s sale this year and Gary
Romey came away with one for
$13,500, ½ semen and ½ possession.

Illinois for $9,250, ¾ interest and full
possession.

a lot like the top seller of the sale TH
805H 20N Spartan 125T.

a 02/20/07 son of TH 48G 20N Spartan

sold to Richard Scheid for $6,000.
Randy Huschka also purchased Lot

Treating and Preventing
Retained Placenta in
Beef Cattle
What is a retained placenta?
The placenta (or afterbirth) is the
name given to the membranes that
transfer nutrients from the cow to the
calf before the calf (fetus) is born.
These membranes and blood vessels
are made by the calf and connect to the
blood supply in the uterus of the cow
or heifer. The cotyledons (buttons) of
the placenta “hook up” to the caruncles
of the uterus. It is across this thin
connection between the membranes of
the cow and the membranes of the calf
that essential materials pass to the
developing calf. These essential
materials include oxygen, blood sugar
(glucose), amino acids (the building
blocks of proteins), fats, calcium,
phosphorus, vitamins, trace minerals
and all the other essential components
of life.
When the calf is born the placenta
normally detaches within a few hours
and is expelled. That is why it is
referred to as the “afterbirth.” In most
all situations, the placenta is expelled
within 12 hours of the birth of the calf.
If it is not expelled by 24 hours it is
defined as a retained placenta or the
cow is said to “have not cleaned.”
Why is a retained placenta a problem?
In and of itself the retained placenta
is not a problem. However, the
retention creates a number of potential
problems. The retained placenta
“hangs” out of the vulva and as the cow
walks the placenta slides back and forth
through the external opening of the
vulva and vagina and “sucks” material
into the uterus. The vulva of a cow is
located just below the anus, so fecal
material and fecal microorganisms are
pulled into the uterus. Also, when a cow
lays down the placenta will hang out
further and lay in the dirt or mud, which
is loaded with bacteria. These bacteria
set up an active site of infection in the
uterus and this can have serious
consequences for the cow.
The local infection in the uterus can
cause the animal to become ill (fever,
weight loss, etc). Sometimes the
infection is so bad the cow can actually
die. When the uterus becomes infected
and inflamed, it takes much longer for
the cow to “clean” and to be ready for
the next breeding season. A retained
placenta usually causes the cow to have
an increased time from calving to the
conception of the next calf. It is not
uncommon for a cow with a retained
placenta to delay the next pregnancy
for 2-6 months. Obviously, a twomonth delay will mean a late calving
date in the following year. A six-month
delay may result in an open cow next
year at pregnancy checking time.
Another result of retained placenta
can be tetanus.The tetanus organism
is commonly in the soil or in the feces
and when it gets into the uterus it can
set up an infection and result in tetanus
(lockjaw). Tetanus can be fatal in cattle
and at the minimum requires long term
therapy (1-3 months).
What causes retained placenta?
The list of potential causes is quite
long; however, there are a number of
common causes that affect beef cattle.
It is easier to think about the causes in
groups, so the following listing might
be helpful.
Mechanical Causes of Retained
Placenta
• Difficult birth (calf too large
for cow, backwards calf
[breech birth], one leg or head
backwards)
• Twins
• Cesarean section
• Fetal monsters or
emphysematous fetus
(gas-filled fetus)
Nutritional Causes of Retained
Placenta
• Energy or Protein Deficiency
during pregnancy
• Vitamin A deficiency
• Selenium deficiency
• Iodine deficiency
• Vitamin E deficiency
Management Causes of Retained
Placenta
• Stress (Transportation or
rough handling, poor
feed conditions)
• Obesity
• Heredity
Infectious diseases/Toxins
• Brucellosis
• Pine Needle abortion
• Leptospirosis
• IBR virus, BVD virus
• Foothill Abortion (EBA)
Can you tell by looking which bull is the most efficient?
How do I treat cows with retained
placenta?
If a cow has a retained placenta of
24-48 hours and is running a fever
(rectal temperature over 102.5 degrees
Fahrenheit) or is not eating it should
receive attention and treatment. The
minimum treatment would be an
antibiotic such as a long-acting
tetracycline (Biomycin®, LA-200®,
Tetradure®, etc) and Lutalyse® (which
can help to speed expulsion of the
placenta). If the cow is depressed or
dehydrated it will be necessary to have
your veterinarian examine and treat the
cow. They will probably flush the uterus
as well as give you advice on other
drugs to use over the next 5-7 days.
Always seek your veterinarian’s advice
on treating cows with retained placenta
as the condition can deteriorate into a
life-threatening one in a very short
period of time. It is usually not
necessary to manually remove the
placenta; however, your veterinarian
can advise you better after examining
the animal. It is important to understand
that there is no single course of
treatment that will be safe and effective
in every circumstance; thus your
veterinarian’s advise will be crucial to
success.
Most of the drugs that are useful to
treat a cow or heifer with retained
placenta are not labeled for this
condition. Therefore, these drugs are
used in an EXTRALABEL manner and
will REQUIRE one or more
PRESCRIPTIONS
from
your
veterinarian for this purpose. Also,
there may be an extended withdrawal
time for these drugs that will have to
be adhered to. Additionally, if you have
more than 1% of your cattle with
retained placenta, you should seek
professional help to prevent this
problem.
How can I prevent retained placenta
problems?
Since there are many causes of
retained placenta, there is no simple
answer. Some of the obvious answers
include: (1) don’t allow cows to get
too thin or too fat before calving, (2)
reduce stress near calving as much as
possible, (3) prevent exposure to pine
needles, juniper trees, and pine trees
(particularly Ponderosa Pines) before
calving, (4) make sure your trace
mineral and vitamin supplementation
program is adequate, (5) prevent
Foothill Abortion problems, and (6)
maintain a sound vaccination program
to minimize the chance of viral or
bacterial abortions.
Because calving problems often
result in retained placenta, it is important
to consider the appropriate selection of
genetics for your herd as a part of
prevention. One of the useful tools is
birth weight EPDs. Lower birth weights
will decrease calving problems IF all
other factors are equal. However, it is

Neither can we, but in the last year we have begun sending our breeding stock to
Residual Feed Intake tests in Missouri and the results are very interesting. Even
though we know that Herefords are the most efficient breed of cattle, we can still
statistically see and measure differences in them. We feel that as time goes on efficiency will make us more money than anything else we can do, without sacrificing the
good traits we have bred into these cattle. Maybe our genetics will make you more
money, too.

*645 did not eat out of the bunk for 20+ days during the 70 day RFI test. Therefore, he ws
not allowed in the overall test and was considered an outlyer. He was sifted by Dr. Kerley,
but the -5.11 is his tabulated RFI score. His gain was good and he converted real well (4.09
lbs of feed per lb of gain), so I think we will trust the RFI. Remember a negative number
is better in RFI.

also important to remember that big
cows with big pelvic canals can have
big calves easily. So select bulls with
birth weight EPD’s in keeping with your
herd. Also, remember to look at the
bull’s actual birth weight data and
remember that the birth weight EPD
numbers are not the same between
breeds. One breed can have a bull calf
with a birth weight of 100 pounds and
a birth weight EPD of 1.0 while another
breed can have a bull calf with a birth
weight of 80 pounds and a birth weight
EPD of 5.0. Obviously, the second bull
will tend to have calves with lower birth
weights IF all other factors are equal.
Another tool available is pelvic
measurements in yearling heifers. The
value of this tool is to cull replacement
heifers with small pelvic canals before
breeding for the first time. Regarding
birth weights, it is important to
remember that the cow or heifer has
60% of the “input” into how large the
calf is going to be. Therefore, genetic
selection of the cowherd has more
impact than the one time selection of
the bulls.
If you don’t have problems with
retained placenta, that is excellent. If
you do, there are a number of important
items you will need to consider and

Outlook for Major Beef Importing Countries
Introduction
Following is the final report from the
U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF)
that examines key statistics and trends
from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
beef and pork trade outlook forecast for
2008 through 2017, which was
developed in November 2007 and
released last week. The USDA 10-year
outlook is a scenario based on what
would be expected to happen under a
continuation of current farm legislation
and specific assumptions about external
conditions. It is not a forecast. USDA
data is based on carcass weight
equivalence (CWE) and does not include
variety meats.
Highlights
The USDA’s 10-year outlook for the
beef market offers this projection for the
landscape of major beef-importing
countries in the year 2017:
Top beef importers in 2017
United States – U.S. imports are
projected to grow to 1,748,000 metric tons
(3.85 billion pounds), an increase of
277,000 metric tons (610.6 million pounds)
or 19 percent over 10 years.
Russia – imports grow to 1,398,000
metric tons (3.08 billion pounds), an
increase of 348,000 metric tons (767.2
million pounds) or 33 percent over 10
years.
Japan – imports in 2017 total 851,000
metric tons (1.87 billion pounds), an
increase of 136,000 metric tons (299.8
million pounds) or a 19 percent increase.
Mexico – 765,000 metric tons (1.68
billion pounds) imported in 2017,
reflecting a 365,000 metric ton (804.6
million pounds) or a 91 percent increase.
A mild increase of 2 percent in 2008 is
followed by a 15 percent increase in 2009
and then 5 percent to 7 percent annual
growth over the remainder of the outlook
period.
European Union – EU imports projected
at 709,000 metric tons (1.56 billion pounds)
in 2017, a decrease of 16,000 metric tons
(35.2 million pounds) from the 2007 import
estimate. According to Erin Daley,
USMEF manager of research and
analysis, factors leading to the projected
decrease likely include lackluster EU
consumption, limited beef supplies, high
consumer prices and heavy reliance on
South America, which contribute to
market uncertainty.
South Korea – projection of 430,000
metric tons (947.9 million pounds)
imported in 2017, an additional 115,000
metric tons (253.5 million pounds) over
2007 levels.
Egypt and Canada – each country
projected to import about 332,000 metric
tons (731.9 million pounds) in 2017 with
Egypt’s imports growing from 250,000
metric tons (551.1 million pounds) and
Canada’s imports growing from 225,000
metric tons (496 million pounds) in 2007.
According to Daley, the most
significant revisions from USDA’s 2007
estimates to its new 10-year projection are
increased imports forecast for Russia
(reflecting strong demand and declining
domestic production) and Canada
(exchange rate implications; high feed
and labor costs).
Major beef importing countries
Note: The following import data is
from the Global Trade Atlas in product
weight equivalence.
United States – Beef imports fell 1
percent in 2007 to 933,330 metric tons (2.05
billion pounds). The top suppliers were
Australia (30 percent), Canada (27
percent), New Zealand (17 percent),

Uruguay (11.5 percent) and Brazil (7
percent – all prepared/preserved). The
United States imported more than 11
percent of its beef consumption in 2007,
and more than 12 percent of beef is
expected to come from imports in 2008.
Daley notes that this change will result
from an expected slight reduction in
production, an increase in exports, and a
slight increase in beef imports. The weak
dollar and relatively tight global beef
supplies are expected to limit U.S. beef
imports this year. Continued strong cow
slaughter could also limit the demand for
foreign manufacturing beef.
Russia – Through September 2007,
Russia imported 23 percent more beef
than during the same period in 2006,
driven by 137 percent growth in imports
from Brazil (64 percent of total imports),
which more than offset declines from its
other major suppliers, including
Argentina (15 percent market share),
Paraguay (8 percent) and the EU (5
percent). Russia renewed access to
imports from Ukraine in 2007, and import
volumes from that country are currently
similar to those from the EU (about 5
percent of the total). In 2007, more than
43 percent of beef consumed in Russia
was imported. Imports are expected to
account for nearly 45 percent of total
consumption in 2008 as domestic
production declines slightly while imports
increase to meet growing domestic
consumption. Rising demand from
booming HRI and retail sectors, which
domestic production cannot satisfy,
coupled with growing quality
expectations from co nsumers ensure that

Russia will import more beef in 2008. The
challenge for U.S. beef is to reestablish
its presence after a four-year ban and a
successful positioning of Australian and
Argentinean beef products in the Russian
market. For beef livers and round cuts,
price will be the key element in capturing
a significant market share. U.S. beef is
reentering the Russian market at a time
when prices in Brazil have reached record
highs and the Brazilian real continues to
strengthen against the U.S. dollar. With
the continuing weakness of the dollar,
these factors combine to make U.S. beef
an attractive proposition for Russian
importers.
The first shipments of high quality U.S.
beef — tenderloins, striploins and ribeyes
— since late 2003 delighted importers by
selling well. Beef offal is expected to do
well, too. In 2003, the United States
exported 60,752 metric tons (133.9 million
pounds) of beef variety meat to Russia.
The return of U.S. beef made USMEF’s
presence at Moscow’s prestigious
Prodexpo Trade show (Feb. 11-15), the
biggest annual food show in Russia, a
great opportunity for U.S. beef suppliers
to meet with customers from Kaliningrad
to Vladivostok, as well as from Ukraine,
Tajikistan and Armenia.
USMEF hosted a reception on February
13 attended by more than 200 guests
including Allan Mustard, minister
counsellor for agricultural affairs, and a
USMEF delegation led by Thad Lively,
senior vice president of policy planning
and research. The delegation had an
opportunity to meet with both U.S.
suppliers and Russian traders and to be
among the first people in Russia to taste
top quality U.S. beef cuts since the lifting
of the ban on U.S. beef (Oct. 2007). The
success of the reception and the presence
of leading Russian meat companies
confirmed the high demand for U.S. beef
in Russia. The Russian meat trade is
becoming more regularized as companies
specializing in meat imports replace more
opportunistic traders. This evolution
contributes to creating more transparent
and predictable relationships for U.S.
exporters.
Japan – Japan’s beef imports increased
slightly (1.5 percent) in 2007, totaling
486,628 metric tons or 1.07 billion pounds.
Australia maintained 82 percent market
share despite a 3.35 percent decline in
volume. Imports from New Zealand
declined 10.6 percent, accounting for 7
percent of Japan’s total imports. U.S.
imports regained ground to reach 7
percent of Japan’s total import market
share while Mexico captured 1.5 percent
of total imports. Nearly 60 percent of
Japan’s beef consumption is derived from
imports.
Since last year, USMEF has conducted
a “We Care” campaign to demonstrate the
commitment of U.S. producers and
industry to delivering a safe, wholesome
and delicious product and to counter
negative impressions of U.S. beef in the
Japanese media. The campaign includes
newspaper ads, an interactive Web site,
a U.S. beef industry virtual tour and media
events. It also contains elements directed
to the Japanese retail and foodservice
trades to assure buyers that the product
is safe and there is consumer demand.
