Byron Bayers What a great trip we had going to the big Calgary Bull Sale. Jill made the long trip from Reva to Twin Bridges Byron Bayers (600 miles) to pick me up and then on to Great Falls where Paul Hinderager joined up with us and then on north to Calgary. (600 more miles from Twin Bridges (oh, for the day of the airplane). The first time I was in Calgary it was a city of about 50,000 people but in my lifetime it has grown to a city of over a million people. The Stampede grounds is right in the middle of the city, which to the foreigners Serving Commercial Cattlemen & Registered Hereford Breeder Published by: Hereford America, Inc. • 13823 Beaver Creek Place • Reva, SD 57651 History of Canadian Hereford Industry Good cattle, good people — 150 years of influence Reprinted with permission of the Canadian Hereford Digest Written by Catherine A.

The winter weather finally seems to have broken here and we are getting some very welcomed, warmer spring weather. Most of the snow has melted except for the really big drifts and what is left in the creeks which still seems like a lot of snow. It’s heart-warming to finally see baby calves out running and playing in the pastures and enjoying the sun. It’s been another long winter but in our neck of the woods (continued on page 6) April/May 2010 Arden (Lees) and Jeromy Charlton, the son of current CHA President, Garth Charlton and Canadian Western Agribition Frederick Stone of Guelph, (CWA) presi- Ontario is attributed with dent, Marilyn starting the first registered Charlton, who Hereford herd in Canada. is also secretary for the Saskatchewan Hereford Association. Duncan’s father Thomas and his uncle Harold established the wellknown Lees Brothers herd in 1949. Thomas took over the herd in 1964, renaming it Blair-Athol Polled Herefords.

For the 29th consecutive year, South Dakota Hereford operation Rausch Herefords owns the most Dams of Distinction honored at 76 head, 20 more than last year, and again leads its state to the top of the list with 306 cows recognized. The 2009 Dams of Distinction list honors Hereford cows that meet the highest standard of production and recognizes the cattlemen who produce them. In order to be named a Dam of Distinction, a Hereford cow must meet all the job requirements for an ideal cow. She should produce a healthy, growthy calf every year; she should calve as a two-year-old, and she should cause her owner absolutely no problems. A Dam of Distinction is the standard by which all (continued on page 5) Rausch Herefords, Hoven, SD, topped the Dams of Distinction herd for the 29th consecutive year. Congratulations!

HEREFORD AMERICA • April/May 2010 Byron’s Editorial... (continued from page 1) presents some planning and mixing with the city traffic. Many of you have probably never seen over 180 basically two-year-old Hereford bulls at a consignment sale, most weighing over 2000 pounds, haltered and tied in a big auditorium. It is a sight to see. Denver was the same way years ago and the two sales were comparable in North America. However some things have changed for both events. The cattle were very good and the sale was the best in the last several years. We got the chance to see and visit with many old friends and met many new Hereford people. I had a nice visit with Gordon Stephenson, the General Manager of the Canadian Hereford Assn., and Canadian Hereford Assn. President Garth Charlton, about the Hereford breed and the progress in Canada. We also got to visit with Brad Dubeau, the Director of Communications for the CHA, and also the person who heads the great new publication of the CHA. We were also fortunate to meet Karin Schmid, Breed Development Coordinator for the CHA. Her articles in the Canadian Hereford Digest are very interesting. A wonderful group of people and I am happy we were able to make the long journey. Several very good herd bull prospects will make their way to the USA soon, to some notable herds, from this sale. As nice as this trip was I was un- Jim Bockwoldt of JBN Livestock, Box Elder, SD has been an integral part of the the Baker Herefords Sale, Rapid City, SD for several years with his top bulls as part of the offering. www.herefordamerica.com • 3 fortunate to contact a virus and I have been sick for over two weeks since I got home. It seems there is always a price to pay for a nice trip! As soon as we got back to Twin Bridges, Jill refueled and headed east for the Fort Keogh sale in Miles City, about 400 miles distant. Marc who was headed to Oregon to the Harrell sale, drove the 120 miles to Rapid City, only to find heavy fog and a cancelled airline flight. Some days you can’t win but the crew from Hereford America keeps charging on! I lost another old rancher friend the other day. Gene Hanson, of Whitehall, MT lost the battle after a long illness.

(continued from page 3) teens at the time and driving the truck that far was out of the question, so my Dad said we would take the train and rent a box car on the train for the trip. Little did I know what I was in for because that started a four month tour of railroad box car travel to cattle shows and sales. We could take care of getting the box car and getting it ready but I needed someone to go with me to help as CL we were roading 12 head of show cattle. We thought of every one who might help but it was tough finding someone who would make this kind of trip and who knew something about show cattle. I thought of my friend and fellow 4-Her, Gene Hanson, then of Sheridan, MT. We approached him and after several days of decision with his folks, Gene called and said he would go with me. The old box car was moved into Twin Bridges at about 15 miles per hour as C&L Advantage M326 22S ET & {DLF,IEF} P42728283 — Calved: Apr. 12, 2006 — Tattoo: BE 22S Hereford rancH RRH MR FELT 3008 {SOD,CHB} KCF BENNETT 3008 M326 {CHB}{IEF,DLF} P42361822 KCF MISS 459 F284 CL 1 DOMINO 500E {SOD}{IEF,DLF} HH MS ADVANCE 8037H 41009524 HH MISS ADVANCE 687F N250 Highview Road Ixonia, WI 53036 (262) 617-6346 BW WW YW MM M&G SC FAT REA MARB BMI$ CEZ$ BII$ CHB$ 4.2 69 103 22 56 1.6 0.01 0.62 0.25 28 16 24 36 .63 .55 .58 .21 0.6 .37 .37 .35 Check out our online video and sale bulls. www.cnlfarm.com • Multi-trait leader • Excellent progeny results...2008 Young Sire Test Semen: $20/Straw, $60/Certificate the track was not too good, and placed where we could work on it in preparation for the trip. We had to put tie rings in to tie the cattle, bed the car with lots of straw, put a 150 gallon water tank in for the cattle to drink from, feed for the cattle for two weeks, and then all the show supplies and our personal sleeping bags, and food for the trip, as we were warned that the freight train did not stop for food, just maybe cattle water if we made enough noise. The time came and the cattle were loaded and Gene and I said farewell to the locals and started our long trek to Portland. It took us over two hours just to get out of the valley. We traveled over three mountain passes, went through several major cities and fought weather and bums, (they all wanted to get in our boxcar because they thought we had food and shelter and money?) When we got west of Spokane we were held up for another train to hook up with more cattle going to Portland, as the conductor told O H W ?

The train crew hooked up a car next to us with a load of Shorthorn cattle. The guy taking care of the carload got out and introduced himself to us. He said, “I am Bill Bennett and I am going to the Portland show,” and Gene and I told him we were headed there too. (Yes, this is the same Bill Bennett of later Hereford and Angus fame.) Gene and I got settled at the stock show and we did well at the show and everything was going good except Gene was gone from the cattle a lot. I thought he was probably checking the local girls out and upon asking why he was gone so much he told me he had found a white Shorthorn steer that was for sale and he thought he could win our Montana Winter Fair with him. He hated to ask me, as I was such a Hereford man, if I cared if he bought the steer and took him home with us. Gene told me that there was a $1,000 prize for a Shorthorn steer to win at Winter Fair and he wanted to go after it. That was a lot of money then as you could buy a new Ford for less than $2000. Gene bought the steer for about $400 and we loaded him on the train with our cattle and waited for the train crew to head us home. Things went pretty well until we got to the Cascade Mountains and we got caught in a winter blizzard. That boxcar was really cold and we had to get in between the cattle to keep warm, as the long train slowly pulled over the mountain. Food was getting short and of course it was all cold and the only water not frozen was in the stock tank. The train stopped to pick up some cars and the conductor came back to our car and said, “The engineer was feeling sorry for you guys in this storm and wants you to come up to the engine and ride where it is warm. Gene and I quickly took the offer and rode in warmth and some comfort over the mountain into western Montana where the train crew changed and we were told we needed to go back to the boxcar. We did get some new food and water at that stop and the rest of the three day trip home was slow but uneventful. We were tired, more experienced than most teenagers were in those days and we really knew a lot about freight trains! Gene was good company but, I didn’t see him too much for the rest of the year, as he had had enough train rides with me and headed home. I headed out on the freight train alone for the next four months and got home about a month before Winter Fair. Gene’s white Shorthorn steer was named Champion Steer over all breeds at the Montana Winter Fair and sold for a considerable amount. You can imagine how proud Gene was, and I was for him. Gene went on to marry a local 4-H girl, Martha Roffler, and they raised three fine young men. I worked with Gene for years on the local 4-H youth sale which still carries on with great success. Hanson’s ranched in this valley, near Whitehall, until Gene’s health declined and his son Dean carried on. Martha still lives on the ranch. Gene never forgot HEREFORD AMERICA • April/May 2010 www.herefordamerica.com • 5 that trip to Portland and neither did I. We remained friends for our lifetime. So long old friend, our railroad boxcar days are over! I just read today that the State of Nevada is closing its College of Agriculture at The University of Nevada Reno. This action will go down in history as the first closure of a U.S. land grants college of agriculture. What kind of a message does this send to agriculture? Every college in the nation has a degree in “tree hugging” or some kind of protest area but we are closing a college of agriculture? The Morrill Act was set up by Congress in 1862 to set up gifts of federal land to establish universities in the states. This act required the universities to maintain certain programs including agriculture! How now can a state decide to change the deal? Some states such as Nevada are having severe financial problems but this decision will give a lot of people in agriculture and higher education in general, something to think about. I love sports about as well as anyone but maybe, just maybe, sports is taking our whole idea of higher education a bit too far. OK you big time university fans, how much does your football coach make? The University of Nevada Los Vegas just this year hired our University of Montana football coach for about $500,000 more than our college could budget. Just an example, and you Alabama guys have a multi-million dollar coach.

That trendsetting distinction continues 100 years later as the Calgary Bull Sale is the benchmark for other bull sales across the prairie provinces. ” This seems to hold true today. On sale day this year the exchange rate was on par with the U.S. dollar. This is the first I can remember in quite some time. Just the day before it was 5 cents under. Along with the 110th anniversary of the Calgary Bull Sale, congratulations are also in order to the Canadian Hereford breeders on their 150th year of raising registered Herefords. Such a rich history the U.S. and Canada share with Hereford cattle. Thank you to the Canadian Hereford Digest for allowing us to reprint their excellent article which is a very interesting history written by Catherine A. Brown, associate editor of the Digest. Another anniversary of note is the 100th anniversary of the first U.S. Hereford publication, the American Hereford Journal. On May 1, 1910 Hayes Walker started the American Hereford Journal, “for producers of Herefords, registered and commercial... horned and polled.” For many years the American Hereford Journal was produced twice a month. It was owned by the Walker family until 1961 when it sold to the American Hereford Association and it became the official publication of the American Hereford Association. The Polled Hereford World, founded by Frank Farley who was a former employee of the American Hereford Journal, became the official publication of the American Polled Hereford Association in 1965. In 1995, after the AHA and APHA merged, the two publications were melded together and became the Hereford World. I have a number of the very early American Hereford Journals and Hereford Record books which I greatly value. The earliest AHJ I have is Volume 2, which is 19111912. Thank you to Larry Vukonich of Montana for donating this collection to me. I enjoy it to no end. A few of the early articles talk about things that are still relevant today while others put into perspective very quickly just how far we have come in 100+ years. In the 50th Anniversary American Hereford Journal it was stated by publisher Hayes Walker, Jr., “Our faith in this great breed was never stronger than it is today — after 50 years of experience which has embraced times of both prosperity and adversity for the breed, during which it has scaled the heights and sounded the depths of the joys and evils to which human beings and their charges are the heirs. We eagerly join those who see ahead a very bright future for the Whitefaces and for the men who honestly and industriously give to the breed the best that is in them.” “But it is a labor in which all must join if it is to succeed to the fullest. The breed’s interests, East, West, North and South, are common interests. The breed and its organizations, official and otherwise, must not be divided in spirit and activity. The strength of the breed, in its entirety, lies in the fact of this common interest, which must be kept ever in mind.” Here it is, another 50 years later, and these thoughts and statements certainly apply today. — JBH 59th Annual Production Sale 1:00 p.m. • Tuesday, APRIL 20, 2010 Thomas Ranch Sale Facility 16 ½ m. east of Onida, S.D. — BONUS BUCKS — Lot 1.

Duncan and brother Chris ran the ranch together until 1984 when Chris established the C & T herd. The family also branches out to the herd of George and Corey Lees of Glenlees Herefords. Duncan’s land was always best suited to cattle. He stuck with Herefords because “they always paid the bills.” Next year will be the family’s hundredth year raising registered Herefords. This is the story of people. It’s the story of great cowboys and breed promoters and ranches. It’s the story behind shows like Agribition, world class bull sales and a strong youth organization. But most of all, it’s the story of a breed of cattle that persisted through the generations. This rugged, thick-hided, whitefaced breed is the one you can see on windy hillsides on cold, winter days, that is still out there foraging. It is perfectly suited to the North American continent. Stories of 20th century cattlemen walking their cattle 10 to 20 miles or more to livestock shows or to the trains that would take them there, in the days before trucks and trailers serve as a metaphor to the breed’s walk through pastures, rock, meadows and mountains from the Atlantic to the Pacific, through 150 years. “The feet on Hereford cattle are best of all,” says young Saskatchewan breeder Murray Andrews. How they got here is another story. “The English claim they sent Hereford cattle here over 200 years ago,” says Norma Dunn, a former CHA employee. However, as 94-year-old Charles Scranton, Order of Canada and former CHA president, points out in a written history of the breed, North American associa- Regina Bull Sale’s Group of 5 bull class. tions were not in existence at the time, so a lot of the information on early importations has been lost. At the time of Frederick William Stone’s official importations of Herefords into Canada in 1860 and 1861, the country had yet to enter into Confederation. Within a few years of that historical date, Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States, then re-elected, before his demise in 1865. Mossom Boyd was one of Canada’s pioneer U.S. and Britain agreed to suppress the breeders who developed Polled Herefords. slave trade and serfdom was abolished “It’s not what you get in the sale ring; in Russia; The U.S. Civil War raged; the it’s the cost of getting them in there that Toronto Stock Exchange was created counts.” and the Red Cross and Salvation Army It took the breed promoters to prove organizations were founded; the U.S. those facts – the likes of Wib DonaldDepartment of Agriculture was created son, Jonathan Fox, Louis Latimer, Walalong with the first cattle importation ter Blume, Jim Hole, Doris and Stulaws; the flush toilet, moving pictures, art Fenton, Vern and Louise Croy, the pasteurization, the machine gun, roller Warnycas, Dave and Joe Hasson, Grant skates, the fire extinguisher, the coffee Hirsche, and Gil Henderson; Gene Hanmaker and the first color photographs were invented.

The family’s motto exemplifies that of many a ranch family and breed pioneer: “The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer.” Grandson Scott Cornish and his wife Paula bred the 2009 Grand Champion Female at Toronto’s Royal Winter Fair. Many long-time breeders are too numerous to list. Past CHA President Victor Oulton’s family was one of the earliest breeders in the Maritime provinces. In Saskatchewan, breeders outnumbered all other provinces by the 1960s and among those who developed the breed there, besides the Lees and Sutters, were the Baskies, Catleys, Clarks, Davis Brothers, Dorrances, Fullers, Huntleys, Olsens, Palmers, Purdys, Reids and Sintons. By the 1980s more than 40 percent of Canadian breeders were Albertan. Hereford herds tended to be larger and longer lived in British Columbia, according to Scranton. The influence of the Douglas Lake Cattle Ranch and other commercial ranches were “of great value to the cattle breeders, not only because of the large number of breeding sires purchased but also because they stressed utility and thus discouraged the following of fads Thorson Herefords Douglas Lake Cattle Ranch Annual Production Sale Selling 24 Hereford Bulls Tuesday, May 4, 2010, at “Bull Day” Philip (SD) Livestock Auction • Line one based genetics from the Shield Bar Ranch • Focuses on moderate birth, good growth & high bag score • Bulls wintered on a high roughage ration • Free heterosis on black cows JCL1 Domino 4013P THL1 Domino 6002 BW +2.5 • WW +33 • YW +51 • Milk +27 BW +3.7 • WW +39 • YW +68 • Milk +20 Visitors Welcome Anytime!

Notable breeders, of course, begot notable bulls, far too many to mention. But some “old boys” cannot be forgotten. Mossom Boyd’s “Bullion the 4th” was a record breaking, top selling Polled Hereford at $2,025 in 1914. The bull was resold by its American owners at seven years of age, bringing $9,500, and breaking a new world record. His descendents commanded top prices for years to follow and many Polled Herefords reportedly go back to this sire. The Latimers talk about Four Square Leonard 25L as being the most influential in the Remitall herd. Four Square Modern Tone 42M developed another line that led to breeding Remitall Crusader 33C and the beginning of the Enforcer 107 line. The 42M bull and Remitall Leonard 38L left them a lot of good females, the latter of which was one of their top selling A.I. sires, according to Gary Latimer. Ned 425E, Justa Banner and Predominant put Ponderosa Ranch on the map according to Don Jarrett, as WTK Bond 75A and his son, Continental 66F did for the W-T-K herd. Jim Hole’s Standard Lad 55C was Calgary Bull Sale Reserve Champion in 1973 and sold to Bar Pipe Farms where he became a foundation herdsire. Standard Lad 93J, Standard Lad 95J and especially Stanmore 43K were among Hole’s most influential sires. Bert & Marion Powesland of Rusticana Herefords, Alberta, and members of the Hereford Hall of Fame, built their cow herd on a bull called Ardmore C Domino 560, purchased at the Calgary bull sale. This bull also sired a number of bulls sold at subsequent sales. Prince Domino 9th was behind the extensively used Silver Standard bull, says Ron Hanson. Hanson Ranches opened up some international trading opportunities with their BB Domino 1087 bull, the top growth performance bull in the world at the time. And Jim Hole HEREFORD AMERICA • April/May 2010 www.herefordamerica.com • 9 LCI High Voltage 80S, bred by Doenz Ranches, is considered the granddaddy of many Canadian Herefords today and has been used worldwide. The Remitall Keynote 20X and resulting Boomer 46B and CS Boomer 29F bulls are legendary in the breed’s most recent history, as is Remitall Governor 236G. Remitall Online 122L is another of the breed’s most prolific sires and is the only Canadian bull to achieve National Champion Bull honors in both Canada and the U.S. He was, in fact, a two-time U.S. National Champion. The majority of American Hereford pedigrees are believed to go back to these sires. The baldies and buckskins of North America have promoted the value of the Hereford bull and female over time in commercial circles while Herefords also gained notoriety through specific events. Canadian Herefords were put in the spotlight when Canada hosted the World Hereford Conference of 1976. “A large international crowd representing over 20 countries was amazed at the quality of Canadian cattle and this was the start of major international exports,” says former CHA general manager, Duncan Porteous. “ Wo r k i n g together to host the conference really Charles Scranton jelled the breed.” The conference in Banff was followed by a 900-head Hereford show at Calgary. Herefords have also been the main breed of cattle featured for years at the Calgary Bull Sale, the oldest continuously held consignment sale in North America, according to Joanne Hole, wife of the late Jim Hole and author of the sale’s history. “It has been the benchmark sale for horned Herefords in Canada for many years,” she says. Edward Jupp, former fieldman for the Canadian Hereford Digest, attended the Calgary Bull sale for 25 years. He says the sale is an education for everybody in attendance. But it used to run for three to four days and is now reduced to three or four hours. “The big city bull sales have all come down in size and significance,” says former Digest owner, Kurt Gilmore. This includes the Regina Bull Sale which was once the largest halter-led bull sale in the world, according to former CHA General Manager, Perry Wilkes. Current CHA General Manager Gordon Stephenson’s fondest memories of the breed involve the Regina Bull Sale where 300 to 400 Hereford bulls sold. Herefords have also been showcased for years at the Canadian Western Agribition, a show created by Hereford breeders. This internationally renowned national livestock event was established in 1970, in large part, due to the efforts of Spence Sutter’s father, Chris. Inspired by the stock show at Denver, Sutter wanted a major livestock show on the prairies. He and Jim Lethwaite, Tom Lees and what would be the show’s first general manager, Bill Blacklock, lobbied government, the exhibition boards and other cattle breeds. They also attracted Labatts and Chrysler who came on board as the show’s first sponsors. In the first show, Herefords outnumbered all other breeds, three-to-one. Gary Minish judged, followed by Jonathan Fox the next year, who judged on horseback in the old auditorium. “Agribition had a major impact on exports and getting breeders together once a year to collectively promote the breed,” says Porteous. Breed promotion and the integrity of Hereford pedigrees has been the domain of the Canadian Hereford Association since 1890. The CHA currently comprises about 1,500 annual, life and junior members across Canada and registers about 15,000 Herefords annually. Its current offices in Calgary were built in 1980 when memberships numbered over 45,000. “The Canadian Hereford Association has been an active supporter and participant in the Canadian Beef Breeds Council (CBBC), its organizational structure, evolution and programs for a long time,” says CBBB General Manager, Herb Old CHA office McLane. “This clearly indicates the recognition of the Hereford industry of the needs of the overall purebred cattle industry… [such as] genetic improvement and genomics, international market development, risk management tools and the national information system, to name a few.” The collaboration with CBBC has helped to secure recent exports to Russia. And what better way to ensure the survival of the breed than through the next generation. Herefords have “the characteristics that lend themselves well to youth,” says former member Sarah Hasson in a recent Ontario Memoir of the breed.

The CHA introduced the first junior memberships in 1963 for members under 21 years of age. In 1967, Dr. Bob Watson and Philip Schleihauf of Ontario pioneered the development of the Canadian Junior Hereford Council. The World Hereford Conference in Alberta was the catalyst to a lot of junior excitement and that year, the CHA recognized the need for more organization within the junior organization, appointing a coordinator and adding junior provincial associations to the CHA. The first national junior show was held in 1978 at the University of Manitoba. The first Bonanza, a national junior event that rotates to a different province each year, was organized by Marion Pow- Duncan Porteous, former CHA general manager. esland, Stu Fenton and Ed Newton, and was held at Red Deer, Alberta in 1980. At this point in his life, Duncan Lees says his boys, who did well in the junior association, encourage his activities as a cattle breeder more than anything now. What Hereford breeders and the breed itself have endured, to-date, is impressive. The most obvious trend the Hereford breed has withstood is that of frame size adjustments. The earliest of the English breed were up to seven feet tall. Bulls and females of the 1700s were up to 3,000 or 4,000 pounds, respectively. These Herefords were primarily used as oxen to pull implements. The 1940s and 1950s witnessed the proliferation of “baby beef” and “belt buckle” cattle, which manifested the desire for smaller cuts and earlier maturing cattle. It resulted in a lot of single-trait selection, leading to genetic mutations which have since been eliminated. The ‘70s and ‘80s manifested a new trend toward taller, leaner genetics to compete with newly imported exotic breeds. The breed has since recovered to idealize a more moderate beast between the extremes. Among the breed’s challenges, over time, are, disease, a decline in agriculture and a corresponding decline in memberships; increased costs of production, the loss of income tax incentives to many producers, high interest rates of the eighties, a grading system change which favored the growth of the Angus beef brand, Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) in the U.S., oil patch wages of $60-$70/hour, stagnant prices and most notably, BSE. Still the breed has persisted. It is estimated that well over 30 percent of the beef cow population in Canada carries Hereford breeding. Technology changes in communication, transportation and data recording has helped support and give new life to the breed. And Pan American EPDs have opened new market opportunities. While the white face is a dominant trait worth hanging on to among the sea of breeds that systematically “went black” change is also important, in the words of Louis Latimer. “The ability to change is more essential than change it- self,” he says. Ron Hanson, for one, would like to see Hereford breeders usher in a new era of cooperation. Porteous says the emphasis on environment and increased need to cut cow herd costs indicates a strong future for Herefords. He is hopeful that the World Hereford Conference, to be hosted by Canada in 2012, along with the Branded Hereford Beef program, “will generate enthusiasm among the troops.” Stanmore 43K Ned 425E Author’s note: Thank you to everyone who talked to me to make this article possible.

He was 51 years old. Jim was born October 11, 1958 in Nampa, ID. The only son of Robert and Pauline White, Jim was raised, attended and graduated from school in Notus, ID along with his two sisters, Cleo and Julie. From an early age, Jim was taught the value of hard work and had his first job at the ripe old age of 12. This lesson served him well throughout his life, as he wore many hats along the way providing for his family. In 1979 he partnered with his parents and bought a cattle ranch along the Boise River in Parma, ID. JB White Herefords raised registered Hereford cattle. It was at this time that he met and fell in love with Debbie Edens, his best friend and devoted wife of 29 years. Together they raised three children; a daughter, Lauren and two sons; Jordan & Morgan, in a log home they built with www.herefordamerica.com • 25 their own hands. Though Jim & Debbie would move two more times, the ranch was always considered home; as this lifestyle provided cherished memories for the whole family. In 1982 Jim started another business, Northwest Bull Testing Center, and it became the most successful consignment sale of its kind in the nation. He operated the test center for 15 years. In 1988, always looking for new opportunities to provide more for his family, he purchased Energy Tactics Fence Company; operating it with his dad for 13 years. The rest of his life was devoted to his family in every way possible. Whether volunteering as a coach in summer baseball, YBA basketball or helping his kids with 4-H steers, Jim enjoyed any activity that his children were involved in. Jim was the consummate coach, both on and off the playing field and was genuinely interested in seeing every kid succeed. Jim was an example to his friends and family of a life well-lived; full of honesty, hard work and love. Jim had a passion for basketball that led to a ten year period of coaching in the Parma School District, including 4 years as the girl’s varsity coach and 3 years as the boy’s varsity coach. He truly loved the game of basketball and considered this time as one of the high points of his life. In 1998, Jim sold the ranch and soon after, the fence business and went to work for Asumendi Produce in Wilder. As with everything else he had ever done, he put his heart and soul into being the best onion salesman around and developed a loyal clientele throughout the nation. At the age of 46, with his kids grown and a little more free time, Jim bought the old Edens’ cabin in Donnelly and for two years, prior to his diagnosis of cancer, he had the time of his life learning to ski at Tamarack. Jim regarded the time spent in Donnelly with his family as the best time of his life. Whether it was boating on the lake, skiing at Tamarack or simply sitting around the fire pit, he loved every second he spent at the cabin with his family. The time spent at the cabin was outshined only by the arrival of his first grandchild, Jack. Jack brought immeasurable joy to his Papa and continued to be the best medicine he could get. Jim loved life and had a powerful will to live, which carried him and his family through the difficulties of the last several years since his diagnosis of kidney cancer. Even at the end of his life, his focus remained on his family and their well being, tending to details that would prepare them for a life without him. Jim was a loving family man, with an adventurous love for life. He was proud to have such a close family that loves and supports one another. His joyous personality made a lasting impact on everyone he met. Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Robert & Pauline White. He is survived by his wife; Debbie, his children; Lauren and Sean Brown, Jordan White (Janelle) Morgan White (Ami), his only grandchild Jack Brown; his sisters Cleo Shaw (Greg) and Julie Asumendi (Domingo); his father and mother-in-law Jim & Reva Edens; his sister-in-law, Dianne Simpson (Carl); his brothers-in-law Scott Edens and Mike Edens (Colleen) and numerous nieces and nephews. Memorials may be made in Jim’s name to the Kidney Cancer Association, PO Box 3516, Oak Brook, IL 60522.

Ellard Born May 11, 1934 in a community outside Little Rock, AR, He passed away on March 16, 2010. Billy Joe Ellard grew up during The Great Depression. The family struggled to make ends meet. Billy Joe’s stepfather, Clarence Wilson was a train conductor and his mother Doris worked odd jobs. Billy Joe and Betty Sue, his older sister by two years, often went without shoes. Billy Joe or “Joe” as he was known during those years graduated from Mabelvale High School in 1951. College was out of the question without a scholarship so Joe worked odd jobs; construction, truck driving, breaking colts. His passion was rodeo and he spent all his hard earned money going to rodeos where he competed in bronc riding and bull riding. Joe was a member of the Air National Guard locally. In 1955, he attended NW Community College in Senatobia, MS, on a football scholarship. Shortly afterwards Joe was drafted into the Army and spent his basic training at Fort Chaffee, AR where he was a model soldier receiving a letter of commendation from the Commander General. From there he transferred to Ft. Mead, MD until his discharge in Oct, 1958. Billy Joe returned home to Arkansas and once again took up rodeo as his favorite past time. A bull riding incident side-lined him with broken ribs and a collapsed lung and a rather large hospital bill. His mother told him “You have to get a job!” In December, 1958, Billy Joe went to the local Snelling and Snelling employment agency and told the interviewer he would do anything except “sell insurance.” However his first job interview was with Combined Insurance Company of Chicago and when the interviewer asked him if he would like to make $30.00-$50.00/day, Joe replied, “Lord yes, what do I have to do?” January 1, 1959 Billy Joe Ellard became an insurance salesman for Combined Insurance under the tutorage of W. Clement Stone who Bill attributes much of his successes that followed. “I patterned myself and my company after Mr. Stone and the business principles he instilled in me!” And a dynamic salesman Bill became; moving up the ranks from salesman to state sales manager to regional sales manager of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Oklahoma. In 1970, Bill’s region alone wrote more business than the entire teacher division did nationwide the year before. Bill was living in Dallas, Texas. In 1972 Bill began thinking about starting his own company and in January, 1973, National Teacher Associates, Inc. was launched. Today and many schools later with hundreds of salesmen licensed; a battery of insurance products designed by Bill Ellard; thousands of policy holders; business in all 50 states; a home office with over 150 employees; NTA, Inc., has developed into one of the most successful privately owned Life Insurance Companies and Agency in the country. Outside the Corporate world, Bill pursued his passion for ranching. In 1982, EE Ranches, Inc. was formed. Bill and his wife, Jo, has developed nationally acclaimed registered Hereford cattle and Championship Cutting Horses. Bill served two consecutive terms on the Executive Board of Directors of the American Hereford Association. Bill’s love for animals and passion for helping underprivileged children have driven his charitable contributions for many years. He has been a major contributor to Hereford and Cutting Horse youth programs, has provided Christmas gifts to Dallas area orphanages, and gifts to animal shelters in addition to major contributions to Dallas organizations. Bill was a member of Roaring Lambs Bible Study and lived by Godly principles. Throughout his life, Bill inspired all people to reach higher, achieve more, and be a better person. “Do the right thing because it is the Right Thing To Do” Bill has been an incredible steward of the blessings God bestowed upon him in life and has left the world a better place. Bill J. Ellard died quietly at home on March 16, 2010. He was preceded in death by his mother, Doris G. Wilson and stepfather, Clarence Wilson; his sister Betty Sue Wilson. Survivors are his wife, Jo McPhail Ellard; sons Joe Chad Ellard and Brian Mark; fiancé to Brian, Susan Dunn; granddaughters, Brinson and Campbell. Winona relatives include Parents In Law, Mr. & Mrs. Gene McPhail, Sister In Laws, Jean McPhail McCarty, Gloria McPhail Laudermilk, Leanne McPhail Kendrick, Betty McPhail; Brother In Laws, Bob McPhail, Bobby Kendrick, Ronny McCarty, Steve Laudermilk.
