VIEWPOINT By Trustee Barry Wesner, Chalmers, IN As I write this Viewpoint I am finding it quite pleasurable to sit in a comfortable air-conditioned office as opposed to working outside in the 100+ heat index we have this afternoon. I am also finding it to be a pleasure and honor to represent the Eastern Region as a member of your Board of Trustees. I’m a little over half way through my second year on your board and I want to assure you, I take the responsibility which has been bestowed on me seriously. Having said that I will be asking for your help as we proceed through this Viewpoint. I feel it fitting to start with some references to the “silly season” or sometimes called the political season, which is now in full swing. I’m nothing short of disheartened by the civil, social and political unrest that dominates the airwaves and causes turmoil for so many people on a daily basis. Our democracy is being threatened by those with far left, far right or just self-serving agendas. Why would I reference these topics in our breed publication? Because we as Simmental breeders need to take heed of how ineffective this behavior really is and BAND together for the greater good of all involved. Please take this as a call-to-action for your involvement in your Association. I would be the first to admit prior to being elected to this board my level of apathy was high and my indifference to the issues at hand was in play. Now as I sit on the “other

September 2016

side of the fence” the errors of my ways are obvious as 17 of us set policy for your breed, it can be a lonely and unrestful feeling without direction and input from membership. We, as Simmental breeders, have been experiencing some of the best times ever seen in our breed and that’s why we need to continue supporting and developing programs that prolong our successes far into the future. The following is just a sample of how you can be a bigger part of your association. 1) Get involved in your state association (be an officer, join a committee, be an advocate for your breed and the beef industry). 2) Communicate your thoughts (call your trustees, call staff, send emails to any and all with your experiences good and bad). 3) Attend ASA-sponsored events (Annual Meeting, Fall Focus, etc.) 4) Get involved in the political process (VOTE . . . for trustees and other items). I know these things seem elementary, but they are crucial to our future success. It seems like people in our society today are always busy being offended by this or that or complaining among themselves. None of that is necessary with ASA because we do care what YOU think! Time for me to go back to the oven outside. Call anytime. u

All In With

Simmental

By Dan Rieder

“W

hen we first got into Simmental, we got into the breed all the way,” says Jeff Koch (pronounced “Cook”) of Big Timber, Montana. “Marty Ropp (former ASA Director of Commercial Programs and founder/CEO of Allied Genetic Resources) came to look at our cattle when we first got started and he commented that we had a ‘nice herd.’ He also liked that ‘we didn’t mess around and went all or nothing’.” That all-out effort has not been limited to their own herd. Within a few short years, Jeff had been elected to a two-year term as president of the Montana Simmental Association (MSA), is the current MSA immediate past president, and they had hooked up with the very successful Bulls of the Big Sky Sale Group. Koch and his wife, Shere, were both raised in the Billings area and graduated from the nearby Huntley Project High School. Their son, Shane, 25, was born in Billings, but grew up in Big Timber. Shane’s spouse, Kate, 22, is a native of the Bozeman area, having graduated from

Manhattan High school. Shane and Kate also live on the ranch, where Shane is “my dad’s hired man,” and Kate commutes 12 miles to her job at a Big Timber Bank. Shere manages a nearby private guest ranch along with her day-to-day involvement with the ranch. Jeff and Shere are also raising Taylor, their nine-year-old grandson, who shows great interest in the operation of the ranch. In his first year of eligibility, Taylor has three 4-H projects going: breeding heifer, market steer and market pig. He’s a member of the American Junior Simmental Association and has already competed in two Regional Classics. An older son, Joshua, spent four years in the Air Force and works for a firm that builds marker trucks and equipment for lining highways. On June 30, Josh and his wife, Angela, an employee of a Billings bank, became parents of a daughter, Emry. “We moved to this area 20 years ago, when Jeff accepted a job working for a local rancher,” Shere reports. “We lease this ranch, which is located 12 miles down the Yellowstone River from town.” As a youth, Jeff’s family was involved with diversified agriculture, raising sugar beets, corn and small grains along with a herd of Angus. “My dad tried Simmental, but encountered some problems with them, phased them out and went back to straight Angus,” he said. Shere was exposed to livestock through her grandfather’s ranch. “I used to work with him and he also had some Simmental, back when they were red, white and painted,” she explained. “So both of us had previous experience with Simmental.”

Cattle production has held a long-time special appeal to the Kochs. “We even had a few head when we got married. We just kept growing through the years, primarily with Angus and got into AI pretty extensively. Our first Simmental was a project heifer that Shane purchased from Clay Lassle from Glendive,” she continued. “Then we began AIing all of our Angus cows to Simmental bulls and our present Simmental and SimAngus™ herd came from that beginning.” In 2013, the Koch family struck out on their own, leasing the same ranch that Jeff had been managing. Since that time, their cowherd has expanded from an original foundation of 40 Angus to 160 registered Simmental cows and 150 commercial females leased from their landlord. All management decisions on the leased cattle are made by the Koch family. A mixture of Red Angus, Simmental, Angus, Tarantaise and Gelbvieh, they are bred exclusively to Simmental bulls, with some of the females used as recipients in their newly established embryo transfer program. “The owner made us a very generous offer. Our payments are based on the current market. If the market on sale day is $1.50 a pound, we pay him $150.00 a calf. We load the commercial calves right on the trucks the day we wean them,” he said. “We experimented with retained ownership a year ago and had a 45-day wean on the heifers. We decided not to do that this year, it just wasn’t economical for us from the standpoint of time and feed,” Shane added. The Koch registered Simmental herd is comprised of 75% purebreds and 25% SimAngus, plus a handful of Angus cows. In addition, Shane and Kate have started a red Simmental herd of 15 females that is run along with his parents’ all-black herd.

Breeding criteria focuses on structural correctness, maternal and carcass traits, plus heavy emphasis on temperament. “We just won’t keep an animal that has a bad attitude,” Shere said. “We also pay close attention to the $API and $TI indexes — they’re another excellent selection tool. It is our opinion that we should use all the available tools, but that they need to be used together. We aim for well-rounded cattle that measure up.”

Joint Marketing Effort In 2010, at the urging of Ropp, plus the leadership of current ASA Board Chairman Dale Miller, Gildford, Montana; and MSA Secretary Maureen Mai, of Rymo Cattle Company, Bonners’s Ferry, Idaho; the Kochs signed on to participate in an innovative sale effort that combined the genetics of several Montana and Idaho breeders. Named “Bulls of the Big Sky,” the sale has exceeded even the most optimistic expectations of the involved breeders. “It’s the single best move we ever made,” Shere exclaimed. “It’s a great bunch of people and top-notch cattle. The sale just keeps growing and one of the outstanding features about it is that every breeder stands 100% behind their bulls right on through the first breeding season.” The annual sale, which is held the third Monday of February at the Billings Livestock Sales Yard, is currently a collaboration of six different operations. In addition to Koch Cattle Company, Miller Simmental, and Rymo Cattle Company, other consigners are: Shannon Carr of Little Bitterroot Ranch, Hot Springs, Montana; Promise Land Simmental, owned by former ASA Board Chairman Mike Stoltey and his wife, Cathy, Plummer, Idaho; and Harvey Lippert, Sand Point, Idaho. “The sale is drawing nationwide interest, selling cattle into Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, California and the Dakotas. Some cattle have even sold to Canadian breeders, although none of ours have gone north of the border,” Jeff pointed out. (Continued on page 12)

Ever since a Montana family decided to focus on registered Simmental, they have worked 24/7 to establish and grow a quality herd.

Koch’s calving season begins in mid-January, so the bulls they consign are between 11 and 13 months of age at the time of the sale, and 14-16 months of age when they’re sent to the breeding pastures. “We consign 55 to 60 bulls a year to that sale, which is close to 75% of our bull calf crop. Demand has been tremendous and we run out of bulls every year,” Jeff stated. “We also sell a few females each year, and try to consign a couple of high-quality bred heifers and one or two open heifers to the Montana Choice Sale, which is held in conjunction with the MSA Annual Meeting each December,” he added. “We use e-mail and thank you notes to stay in touch with our buyers,” Shere explained. “We let them know that we’re available any time they have questions. We want to do everything we can to encourage repeat buyers.” Extensive use of AI has greatly impacted their breeding program. “Right now, we’re breeding AI on about 90% of our females before turning in the bulls,” Jeff said. “I handle most of the breeding, but Shane and Kate have both attended AI school and have jumped right into the breeding box, which helps a lot.” Now, embryo transfer is being employed. “We’re in just our second year, kind of getting our feet wet,” Shere says. “We have a

couple of excellent donors and in-vitroed five, which not only saves the cow, but saves on drugs and hormones as well.” Farming includes irrigated pea hay, triticale and 400 tons of alfalfa, “which in a normal year gets us through the winter in good shape,” Jeff said. Shere and Kate maintain a small horse operation, featuring paints and quarterhorses. “Kate loves to show and I’m trying to get into barrel-racing. I also have a five-year-old stud and eight mares, but I don’t plan to breed them all each year because we need them for ranch work,” Shere reported. “We have come a long ways in just 10 years,” Jeff concluded. “We owe a lot to Marty Ropp, to our landlord, to our partners in the Bulls of the Big Sky Sale, as well as to the MSA membership, who welcomed us so warmly. We work hard, but it is rewarding when things come together like they have for us.” u Taylor with the steer he exhibited at the Western Regional Classic.

Strong Simmental As usual, the American Simmental Association had a very prominent role in the Beef Improvement Federation’s (BIF) Annual Meeting and Research Symposium, held June 14-17 at Manhattan, Kansas. The 2016 event was hosted by Kansas State University and was attended by more than 600 producers, geneticists and allied industry professionals. • BIF Commercial Producer of the Year honors went to Plum Thicket Farms, Gordon, Nebraska. Owned by Rex and Nancy Peterson, the ranch calves out 325 SimAngus™ cows and also maintains a small back-grounding lot. • Dr. John Pollak, now the Director of the Meat Animal Research Center at Clay Center, Nebraska, was given the BIF Continuing Service Award. Pollak managed ASA’s sire evaluation program for more than 15 years, while on the staff at Cornell Unversity in the 1980s and 90s. • Former long-time employee Marty Ropp, now residing in Normal, Illinois, and the owner of

Allied Genetic Resources, was elected to a one-year term as BIF President. Ropp had previously served as ASA’s representative on the BIF board, while also serving as ASA’s Director of Commercial Programs. • Dr. Lauren Hyde currently serves as ASA’s representative on the BIF Board. Hyde, of Fort Collins, Colorado, is a lead geneticist for ASA’s groundbreaking International Genetics Solutions (IGS) program. • Other members of the 20-member board who have long-standing ties to Simmental cattle are: Vice-President and President-Elect Donnell Brown, R.A. Brown Ranch, Throckmorton, Texas; Dr. Bob Weaber of the KSU staff, who had previously served as ASA’s Director of Performance Programs; Craig Bieber, Bieber Ranch, Leola, South Dakota, who uses Simmental in a crossbreeding program; and Joe Mushrush, Strong City, Kansas, who also utilizes SimGenetics for crossbreeding.

IGS Symposium In conjunction with the BIF Meeting, ASA took advantage of the opportunity to hold its own Symposium, drawing a diverse crowd of cattlemen, scientists and industry leaders, who wanted to learn more about IGS. In an event that took place on the opening day of the annual Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) meetings, IGS hosted a two-hour session regarding the new BOLT system and its capabilities, the thoughts of respected seedstock and commercial cattlemen, and the perspectives of representatives from some of the beef breed association partners of IGS. Jackie Atkins opened the program and introduced Bruce Golden of Theta Solutions, LLC. Dr. Golden described why the new Biometric Open Language Tool (BOLT) system will greatly enhance the ability, accuracy, and speed of generating genomically enhanced EPDs. He spoke to a standing room only crowd of 200 producers as well as an online audience of over 400.

September 2016

Presence at BIF Following the BOLT discussion, distinguished panels of speakers discussed the power of beef association collaboration and how humble cooperation empowers commercial producers as they seek information and profit. The panels included Tracy Brunner (Cow Camp Beef and NCBA President), Donnell Brown (RA Brown Ranch), Steve Munger (Eagle Pass Ranch), Chip Ramsay (Rex Ranches), Bruce Holmquist (Canadian Simmental Association), Tom Brink (Red Angus Association of America), Montie Soules (American Shorthorn Association) and Dr. Wade Shafer of ASA. Joe Epperly (North American Limousin Foundation) served as moderator. The entire program at is available on-line at InternationalGeneticSolutions.com. u

First Breeder’s Cup Golf Tournament

By Emme Troendle

Photos by Katie Smith

The First Annual American Simmental-Simbrah Foundation Breeders Cup Golf Tournament fundraiser was held in conjunction with the 2016 AJSA National Classic in Des Moines, IA. Exceeding expectations, the Breeder’s Cup raised $11,000 earmarked for education, scholarships, and workshops. Twenty four-person golf teams teed off shotgunstyle at the Toad Valley Golf Course. After finishing the 18-hole competition, there was a three-way tie for first place with a net best-ball score of 56. The tie was broken by using handicap numbers. Awards were presented to the top three teams, and a subsequent auction raised an additional $3,250. Carrie Horman, Scott Grass, and Bridget Authur, who planned and spearheaded the effort, are already making plans for Breeder’s Cup 2017.

2016-2017 Major PTP Shows 2016 American Royal The American Simmental Association is proud to sanction high-quality Simmental and Percentage Simmental Progress Through Performance (PTP) shows throughout the country. The PTP program is designed to promote multi-level progress within the SimGenetics industry. PTP shows effectively combine the assessment of statistical data, such as EPDs and actual measurements, with traditional phenotype evaluation. PTP Judges PTP approved judges have been deemed as respectable and knowledgeable cattle evaluators by the ASA Board of Trustees Activities and Events (A&E) Committee. To be named as a PTP approved judge, an application must be sent by the applicant or on the applicantâ€™s behalf along with two letters of recommendation from current ASA members for review by the ASA Board of Trustees A&E Committee. The A&E Committee approves or denies all applicants. Each year the A&E Committee inspects the list of approved judges and makes modifications when necessary. View the PTP approvedjudges list at: www.simmental.org

DIRECTORâ€™S DIALOGUE By Emily Lochner, Director of Youth and PTP Programs

Feel the Excitement Although I am fairly new to the staff, this much I know: the future of the AJSA is exciting. It doesnâ€™t take long to feel the energy brewing on the horizon. Interacting with our youth constantly gives me goose bumps about the future of the Association, and the industry. Just a few weeks ago in Des Moines, Iowa, we witnessed Simelochner@simmgene.com mental history being made with over 500 contestants and nearly 800 cattle exhibited at the National Classic. Next year, I feel confident we will see remarkable hospitality when the AJSA heads to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for Sounds of the South. I sincerely hope each exhibitor who helped make history in Iowa will make the trip south to experience so much more than a cattle show. Hattiesburg is rich in American history, boasting several war sites and military museums. Must I mention it is only an hour away from a quick vacation to the ocean? The Mississippi Simmental Simbrah Association is brimming with excitement to host the National Classic, I personally am looking forward to the southern hospitality and food! We hope you will join us July 9-15, 2017 for the National Classic in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. One of the more exciting programs to emerge from the joint

September 2016

work of the AJSA and ASA Boards of Trustees is the new Steer Profitability Contest (SPC). For those who were not present to hear the announcement at Fall Focus in Bozeman, the AJSA is offering a new competition mirroring real life opportunities in the feedlot sector. AJSA youth, aged 8-21 as of January 1, may enter one, two or three head of steers entered in the ASA database into the SPC. Steers must be owned by October 1, and entered into competition no later than October 15, 2016, although early registration is advised. The steers will be picked up at regional pick-up locations and transported to Chappell Feedlot in Chappell, Nebraska, on November 1, 2016. The steers must meet an array of requirements such as docility scores, vaccination programs and DNA parent verification. The steers will remain in the feedlot until harvest in late-spring, early-summer of 2017. They will be harvested on a grade and yield basis. Profitability will be figured on feed intake, treatments needed, and end carcass value. Awards for the top three most profitable steers will be awarded at the 2017 National Classic in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Exhibitors who plan to participate in the SPC will be required to attend monthly online meetings regarding beef industry specific topics. Exhibitors will be required to keep records on their animal to be turned into the AJSA. Feel free to ask questions to your regional ASA or AJSA Trustee, or ASA staff. More information can be found at juniorsimmental.org or by giving me a shout at elochner@simmgene.com. We hope all beef industry youth will take advantage of this new opportunity. I look forward to talking through the new opportunities within the AJSA with you! u

By AJSA Trustee Kaylie Huizenga, Morrison, IL

You Learn Something from Everyone We all learn in different ways. Some learn by watching others, while others read, and then there are those who must do it themselves. One thing is for certain; however, everything we learn, is knowledge we have gained from someone else. The AJSA has given me many great opportunities to travel and meet new people from all across America and even Canada. An important lesson that I’ve learned through this past year is that there is something to be learned from every single person you meet in life. It may be a moral lesson that stays in the back of your mind as you go on throughout life, or it may be general facts and information that help you become a more knowledgeable person. You may learn the hard way, or it may be a humbling experience. Every time I board a plane to go to another show or Simmental event, I never know who I will sit by. In my opinion, though, that’s the best part of it all. Just by sitting next to someone new on the plane and striking up a conversation, I’ve learned so many new things. I’ve learned about surfing on the California beaches, working on oil pipelines in Oklahoma, and even raising llamas in my own state of Illinois. There are so many points of views on how to live and different lifestyles. I listen to them intently and in return I am

able to share with them my love for showing cattle, the Simmental breed and the beef industry. I’ve had conversations with people who have ranged anywhere from how showing cattle has made me who I am today, to the process of raising safe beef. I’d like to think that I’ve even changed a few minds. I’ve also learned some moral lessons from Simmental enthusiasts just like myself. My most recent trip was to Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, for the Young Canadian Simmental National, where they welcomed me with open arms and hospitality. At their national show only the juniors are allowed to work on their cattle with no adult help. This rule holds true whether you have one head or ten. On show day, it is not above the Canadian juniors to help each other get their cattle ready and to the show ring. They are willing to give their neighbor a helping hand despite the competition. In their eyes there is no competition, only an opportunity to make memories and to learn from each other and push each other forward. This is something I will continue to remember no matter what I’m doing. No matter how long of a week we’ve had at a show or how tired we are, we all need to remember our AJSA Simmental events are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to meet some amazing people, learn new things and take advantage of all the new opportunities that come our way. You need to open up to others in a conversation, and make those lasting connections because no matter who it is, or where they come from, there is always something to be learned from everyone you meet! u

A Kansas businessman who served as president of the Livestock Marketing Association from 2004 to 2006 has been indicted for wire fraud involving cattle transactions. Randall Patterson was charged with 14 counts of wire fraud in a scheme involving his ownership and management of Anthony Livestock Company in Harper County. The resulting indictment alleges that he caused sale barns to issue invoices, falsely inflating prices his company paid for cattle at auction. He could be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 on each fraud count.

Rancher must repay $65K A federal judge in South Dakota has ordered a rancher to pay back the US department of Agriculture $65,000 for a loan he misused. A 36-year-old Pierre resident pleaded guilty to conversion of mortgaged property. He was ordered to spend five years on unsupervised probation. Authorities say the man received a $76,000 USDA loan administered by the Farm Service Agency to buy Sheep and cover expenses for their care. But he sold the sheep without FSA approval and deposited the proceeds of the sale into his personal bank account.

In Memoriam . . .

Lowrie

Summitt

• Bruce Lowrie, 91, a long-time Simbrah and Brahman breeder from Fort Worth, passed away on June 18. A veteran of the US Army Air Corps during World War II, Lowrie was a lead navigator on a B-17 bomber wing and flew numerous combat missions in the European theater. He was the owner-operator of Chevrolet dealerships in the Fort Worth area. A past president of the American Brahman Breeders Association, he served as a board member of the Texas Simmental/ Simbrah Association. He is survived by Maurine, his wife of 51 years; sons Roddy (Laurie); Mark; and Randy (Brandi); a sister Leatrice Bowlen, nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

• Pat Head Summitt, the legendary women’s basketball coach at the University of Tennessee, passed away at the age of 64 on June 27 from complications associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Raised on a Tennessee farm, her father, Richard Head, was among the earliest of Simmental breeders in the state, and was regarded as a strict disciplinarian, a trait that Summit carried through her successful 38-year tenure as the coach of the Volunteers. She coached the team to eight NCAA championships, won almost 1,100 games and is credited with being at the forefront of the ascendance of women’s sports. She is survived by her son, Tyler. u

WE GET VISITORS Nelson, Deckerts Drop In Among summer visitors at the new ASA headquarters building were several old friends. Former Montana Simmental Association President Warren Nelson, who ranches in partnership with his brother Tom at Wibaux, stopped in for a tour and visit in mid-June. Then, later in the month, former Trustee Orville Deckert, 87, his wife, Maria, and son, Jeff, Arena, North Dakota, stopped by on their way to see their daughter and son-in-law in Nampa, Idaho. After delivering Orville and Maria to Nampa, Jeff, who was serving as their “personal chauffer”, then headed to Couer d’Alene, Idaho, for his in-laws 60th anniversary.

Members, do you know a commercial operation with accurate and consistent records? Do they retain ownership of the calves or have an interest in collecting carcass data? Would they like to get paid to use some of the most promising young bulls in the industry? Maybe you have a commercial herd of your own that could work as a cooperator herd for the ASA’s CMP. Spring or fall calving “Participating as a CMP cooperative herd for nine years has enabled us to get the hard facts on feeding efficiency and harvest value by traits on our calves. As a commercial cow/calf operation, interested in making genetic progress in the cowherd, we have used the data in replacement selection and are seeing a difference in our bottom line.” Lynda Stuart, Stuart Land and Cattle Co. “We are glad to be part of the CMP program. It provided us with top quality calves while we get to participate in improving Simmental genetics.” John Hall, Ph. D., Professor and Extension Beef Specialist and Superintendent at University of Idaho Nancy M. Cummings REEC.

Incentives for Cooperators

u Free semen from the industries top herd sire prospects u All cows in herd will be put in ASA’s database which will provide EPDs for every female. This allows you to make selection and culling decisions within the cowherd based on EPDs. u You have the option to retain all or some of the females produced from the program u ASA will pay $60/AI sired carcass that is harvested u Cooperators will get carcass data back on all the calves harvested through the program. u A portion of the CMP calves have feed intake collected and records shared with the cooperators.

How does it work?

u ASA assigns all matings in a random fashion so that the test produces unbiased, accurate results. u ASA will work to provide bulls that fit the general criteria of your herd. However ASA must use only bulls that are enrollled in the program. u At least two sires will be used per contemporary group and ASA likely will use several sires per contemporary group to provide better more accurate test results. u Only bulls with high calving ease EPDs are used on heifers.

Qualifications 1. All cows will be individually identified along with birth year and approximate breed makeup 2. Collect birth weights, calving ease scores, and weaning weights on CMP sired calves 3. Beneficial but not required — have a current AI program established 4. Must commit to collecting carcass data Contact Jackie Atkins or Jannine Story for more information at 406-587-4531.

BEEF BUSINESS Economic impact of US meat

Beef Production Down

The impact of the domestic meat and poultry industry on the US economy exceeded $1 trillion for the first time, according to the latest study commissioned by the North American Meat Institute. The figure represents 5.6% of the nations gross domestic product (GDP) and was calculated using data from all types of meat and poultry producers, wholesalers and retailers as part of the “Meat Fuels America” research project. The industry has a value of $1.02 trillion, is larger than the US trucking industry, and is almost as large as the US government.

Average cattle carcass dressed weights remain on a downward trend. In late May, cattle dressed weights were reported at 806 pounds, down six pounds from the previous week and seven pounds below last year, according to the USDA. Commercial Beef Production forecasts for the second quarter of 2016 were lowered approximately 90 pounds as the pace of marketing increased because of more cattle coming out of feedlots at lighter weights.

Consumers Believe Burgers are Nutritious Meat Prices Decline The Consumer Price Index (CPI), a measure of economy-wide inflation for food, decreased slightly from April to May, by 0.2%, according to USDA’s latest Consumer Price Index. The CPI for restaurants purchases was up 0.2% in May and is 2.6% higher than May 2015, but the CPI for grocery store food items decreased 0.5% from April to May and is 0.7% lower than last May. Beef and veal prices continued to experience the negative effects of the Texas/Oklahoma drought. Beef and Veal Prices increased 0.2% from April to May, but are 5.4% lower than this time last year.

A survey of adults who ordered burgers at restaurants found 82% believe the item is a good source of nutrients, though many would like to see more non-beef alternatives offered, according to market research. Another 80% said they would pay more for burgers made with premium ingredients. Three in five (62%) consumers said they love burgers, but expressed interest in a wide array of non-beef burger alternatives. Nearly half said they would like to see more chicken burgers (46%) on menus, and two in five (42%) were interested in more turkey burgers. Another 34% wanted to see bison as a burger option on more menus.

Lunch Advocates Oppose Grant Plan Critics of the US House Bill recently approved by the education committee says the legislation, which would set up a block grant pilot program in three states, is the first step toward elimination of a federal guarantee of nutritious meals for school children. The block grant provisions will cut funds for school meal programs and nullify crucial federal mandates, including student eligibility rules for free and reduced price meals and nutrition standards. The bill was approved by the House Education and Workforce Committee and now awaits consideration by the full house.

FSIS Clarifies Rule USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has posted a notice clarifying how products subject to its final rule on mechanically tenderized beef are not subject to the regulation. According to the update, any mechanically tenderized beef product must include a descriptive designation, such as “mechanically tenderized”. If the product is needle tenderized, it can be described as “needle tenderized,” or as “blade tenderized” if it is blade tenderized. The notice specifies type styles as well.

Packing Jobs Dangerous A report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) indicates that illness and injury rates are on the decline, but also underreported in the meat packing industry. Evaluations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and academic studies found the nation’s estimated 526,000 meat and poultry processing workers face numerous hazards. Most hazardous tasks involve repetitive motion and prolonged standing linked to musculoskeletal disorders, exposure to chemicals and pathogens, and traumatic injuries from machine tools.

High Feed Prices Dampen Production

Vegan Owners Anger Patrons

USDA has lowered its forecast for total red meat and poultry production in 2016 and 2017, largely as higher feed prices dampen the rate of production growth. In its monthly Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, USDA reduced beef production estimates on lower carcass weights, but the pace of second-quarter slaughter is slightly slower than previously expected. Projections for 2017 are reduced on slightly lower carcass weights and higher feed prices are expected to encourage cattle feeders to minimize the amount of time cattle are on feed.

The owners of two premier vegan restaurants in Vacaville, CA, have angered some customers after revealing that they have slaughtered animals and eaten meat at their farm. The owners’ report that they realized that farm animals keep farmland healthy so they bought some cows and some sheep, then later slaughtered some of the cows for food. Now some of the vegan community says they feel “betrayed”, and have even received death threats. A Facebook boycott group and a live protest are planned at one of the restaurants.

Food Stores Try to Attract Millennials Supermarkets are raising the bar on their food service offering restaurant-quality and fresh food, along with chef-driven menus, thus attracting the attention of the coveted millenial market, those consumers born from 1978 to 2004. Millennial use grocery stores less than other generational groups, although retail food service is gaining traction with them.

Lightning Kills Cattle Lightning storms killed cattle in at least three states, and the largest amount of damage was in McCook County, SD, where 21 head of cattle were killed while they were feeding. Cattle were also reported killed near North Platte, NE, where at least six head of cattle died when lightning hit a fence post and the electrical charge followed the barbed wire, killing the cattle. Then in Edger Springs, lightning killed 12 animals. u

THE CUTTING EDGE E. coli Survives High Temp, Pressure

Bovine TB Blood Test

Food Research at the University of Alberta has found that cooking beef at 160oF, the level of heat treatment recommended by Health Canada and the USDA, does not always eliminate E. coli strains. Theyâ€™re also reporting that some strains survive pressures up to 87,000 pounds per square inch, the long-held standard used in high pressure processing. Microbiologists began noticing the inconsistent behavior of E. coli in 2008, when they assigned a student to look for differences in thermal survival among organisms in a large collection of E. coli from beef.

A new blood test to detect Mycobacteria in blood has been developed by a team at the University of Nottingham in England. Researchers have used this method to show that cattle diagnosed with bovine tuberculosis (bTB) have detectable levels of the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) in their blood, which causes this disease. The test detects low levels of mycobacteria in blood. The testing has a six-hour turn-around, and is currently licensed to a spin out company, PBD Biotech Ltd.

Research Reduces Salmonella

Early Shedding Correlates to Breeding Performance

An old technology that uses natural predators called bacteriophages is the focus of new research at the University of Nevada, Reno. The technique is being used to reduce salmonella bacteria in meat products. Salmonella was reduced by as much as 90% in ground poultry, pork and beef during the research trials. Salmonella is one of the most common causes of foodborne illnesses in the US estimated to cause one million illnesses in the US every year, with 19,000 hospitalizations and 380 deaths. The bacteria can cause diarrhea, fever, vomiting and abdominal cramps. In people with weaker immune systems or in young children and the elderly, it can be fatal.

Genetic adaptation to environment may hold the key to breeding performance in beef cattle, according to research at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. The research found that early shedding of winter coats correlated with better breeding performance. Four years of data showed that cow shedding in May had higher pregnancy rates to artificial insemination and their calves had higher weights at weaning than cows that shed their coats later in the year. In short, cattle that are better adapted to the climate, grass and other environmental conditions feed better, grow better and reproduce better. â—†

CORPORATE REPORT McDonald’s Concludes Pilot Verification

Bayer Makes Offer For Monsanto

McDonald’s Canada has concluded its industry-first Verified Sustainable Beef Pilot, marketing a milestone of its collaborative partnership with the Canadian beef industry over the past 30 months to advance more sustainable beef practices. McDonald’s Canada tracked the journey of nearly 9,000 head of Canadian cattle, or the equivalent of 2.4 million patties. The cattle spent their lives raised on or handled by verified sustainable operations. More than 180 operations: 21 ranches, 34 backgrounding operations, 24 feedlots, two beef processors and one patty plant — complete the process.

German pharmaceutical and chemical giant, Bayer AG, has made an all-cash offer to acquire Monsanto Co. for $62 billion, valuing the US Company at a substantial premium in a deal that would create the world’s largest agrochemicals company. Monsanto said its board was carefully reviewing Bayer’s proposal but declined to comment further. Bayer would finance the deal — the largest foreign takeover effort ever by a German company — with a combination of debt and equity, including a share sale worth 25% of the total transaction value.

Wal-Mart Focuses on Makeover Wal-Mart is upgrading its fresh food sections, increasingly offering upscale items such as grass-fed beef, and expanding pickup and delivery services in an aggressive push to lure grocery shoppers. More stores have added “charcuterie” sections, fresh sushi and large selections of gourmet cheeses and organic produce, and those items are now displayed at the front of the store. WalMart is emphasizing 100% grass-fed beef and antibiotic-free meat and now prepares most of the bakery items it sells on-site. The grocery generates more than half of Wal-Mart’s US sales.

Shuttered Plant Acquired One World Beef has announced completion of its acquisition of the shuttered National Beef processing plant in Brawley, CA. OWB Packers LLC, an affiliation of One World Beef, will operate the plant and expects to restart operations later this year. National Beef, the fourth-largest beef processor in the country, shut down the facility in 2014 citing insufficient cattle supplies amid drought conditions. It had acquired the 337,000-squarefoot facilities, originally built in 2001, in 2006. u

INTERNATIONAL CFI Extends its Reach

Saudi Arabia Lift 2012 Ban

The Center for Food Integrity (CFI) has expanded to Canada with the launch of the Canadian Centre for Food Integrity (CCFI). CFI is a nonprofit organization founded in 2007 to help food makers earn trust among consumers. The new Canada affiliate, a division of Food & Farm Care Canada, shares that mission and also will conduct annual consumer trust research. The move comes in the face of public demand for transparency as consumers want to know more about how their food is produced and who’s producing it. CFI will now order North American memberships for organizations and companies that have a presence in both the US and Canada.

The Saudi Food and Drug Authority reportedly has lifted a ban on imported US beef launched four years ago when an outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) was confirmed. The ban, which also included beef and other products from Poland and Spain, was expected to be lifted this year after a royal decree in 2015 outlined conditions for the move. The Saudi food agency and US officials conducted a series of negotiations to establish the parameters to repeal the band.

Trade “Mixed Bag” Recent beef and cattle trade data shows mixed results. Total beef exports were down 5.3% in April compared to last year. This follows year over year increases in January and March and leaves the year-to-date total through April .4% below the same period in 2015. April exports to Japan dropped 10.9% year over year and exports to Hong Kong decreased 36.9%. Beef exports to South Korea were down marginally, but are still up 12.2% for the year to date. South Korea was the only major beef export market to show year over year increases.

Australian Cattle Deaths Farmers and scientists are battling to solve the mystery behind hundreds of unexplained cattle deaths in South Australia. Nicknamed, “the November disease”, typically the cattle are found dead in the paddock without explanation between October and February. The Department of Primary Industries and Regions, has been investigating the cattle deaths, including 191 deaths that occurred during the 2014-15 summer periods, and had been working to determine the contributing factors and causes behind the deaths. This area has recorded a series of cattle death clusters dating back to the 20th century, but very little research or investigation occurred in earlier years to pinpoint the cause of these clusters. u

Intermediate Champion (ages 14-17) Circle M Farms Showmanship Showdown Winner A.K. Phillips, Maysville, KY.

Bill Couch was one of the first lifetime members of the Simmental Breeders Sweepstakes, and was very instrumental in the organization of the first show in 1985. Couch, who was honored with the American Simmental Association's prestigious Golden Book Award this past January, has had a lifetime affinity for showing and fitting high-quality beef cattle. At an early age he founded Couch's Custom Fitting Service, fitting and exhibiting dozens of champions all over the United States. He has served as ranch manager in several states, and established his own C-Bar Cattle Company, focusing on purebred Simmentals. A native of Owensville, Indiana, he was named to the Indiana Livestock Breeders Hall of Fame in 2010, and has been a strong advocate for youth cattle programs. u
