Proof of Progress World’s Perspective

by Sydnee Shive

Hereford continues building momentum in 2026.

The 2026 Winter Olympics recently wrapped up, and there’s a lot to be proud of when some of America’s best athletes come together to represent our flag on a global stage. I have fond memories of gathering around the TV with my family to watch legends like Apolo Ohno, Lindsey Vonn and Simone Biles, and every two years, I seem to find a couple of new favorites.

I love the stories that come from the Olympics. Stories about hard work, progress made and goals reached. The stories about overcoming obstacles and challenges. The underdog stories, surprise winners, come-from-behind finishes and the grit it takes to get a gold medal.

I also enjoy seeing the progress different countries make every two years — we see which countries catch up, which countries fall behind and who continually offers strong competition.

With the Olympics, it’s pretty easy to measure progress based on the podium. For example — a U.S. man medaled in cross-country skiing for the first time in 50 years when Ben Ogden secured silver in the sprint classic. That is progress.

Two months into 2026, it is evident the Hereford breed has made positive progress over the past 5-10 years and is positioned to make more history. During January and early February, Hereford and commercial sales have had unprecedented levels of success. We can measure progress in the historically high sale averages, crystalline increased demand for bald-faced cattle and the supreme champions named in the showring. The proof is easy to see.

In this issue

There’s no doubt the first two weeks of January, between Cattlemen’s Congress and the National Western Stock Show (NWSS), started the year off on the right foot. Between the two shows, more than 800 head of cattle were shown, and nearly $1.7 million worth of cattle were sold. That dollar amount is even higher when you consider commercial sales from both events. Results from Cattlemen’s Congress start on Page 38 and results from the NWSS begin on Page 71.

Between the 2025 Cattlemen’s Congress and 2026 Cattlemen’s Congress, four different Hereford bulls were named supreme champion at five national shows. One of my favorite memories from the 2025 World Hereford Conference was watching the legendary Jim Williams name a Hereford bull supreme champion at what was likely the last show in the American Royal’s Hale Arena. More information about those supreme champions can be found on Page 26.

On Page 100, you will find Sales Digest: 2025 in Review. There are several reasons I look forward to the March issue each year, but I particularly like compiling and reviewing the yearly production and consignment sale data and comparing it to the previous year. Hereford bulls averaged $8,778, and females averaged $8,616 — this is a significant increase from 2024. January and early February Hereford sales were off to an unbelievably hot start, and I expect those year-end numbers to be even higher in next year’s March issue.

Lastly, the annual AI Book rides along with the March Hereford World This year’s book features 72 pages of bulls from breeders coast-to-coast. Flip through the pages, study the sires and use it to make more progress.

Blast Off! Breed Focus

by Jack Ward

Hereford excitement launches 2026.

Growing Hereford momentum across commercial and seedstock sectors was crystal clear as 2026 began, from strong demand for Hereford-influenced feeder calves in the Midwest and competitive showrings in Oklahoma City and Denver to exceptional buyer interest at the first bull sales of the year.

Commercial cattlemen continue to value Hereford bulls for their ability to add maternal value without sacrificing market acceptance.

Reputation demand

The 19th Greater Midwest Herefordinfluenced Feeder Calf Sale in Carthage, Ill., Jan. 3, once again proved the market’s appetite for load-lot groups of high-quality feeder calves that deliver consistency and profitability. The sale included more than 1,200 steers and heifers, mostly straight Hereford with a few baldies.

The American Hereford Association (AHA) thanks Brent Lowderman — founder of the Greater Midwest Sale and owner of Carthage Livestock Auction — along with the Lowderman family and crew for their ongoing dedication to growing demand for Hereford-influenced feeder cattle.

Elite form and function on display

Congratulations to all exhibitors, consignors and buyers who made Cattlemen’s Congress and the National Western Stock Show such a powerful start to 2026. The open and junior shows were stout with quality and excitement. Judges of the various shows praised the quality and Hereford breeders’ success in keeping cattle structurally sound as they embrace genetic evaluation tools and genotyping to propel breed progress. Added excitement at Cattlemen’s Congress came with the Hereford junior show champion also winning supreme champion among all breeds and the champion horned Hereford bull also being named supreme champion over all breeds.

Likewise, the pen shows at both events and the carload show in Denver ran deep with cattle quality, enthusiastic crowds and strong buyer interest.

The AHA served about 400 Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) steakburgers during the pen show in Oklahoma City. Thanks to the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association and 4T’s Market, Hennessey, Okla., for their support. Among the many Denver highlights were the seven carloads of competitive bulls across all ages. Many bulls in the Denver Yards show sold in the National Western Hereford Sale.

Buyer demand surges

Hereford and Hereford-influenced sales were spectacular in Oklahoma City and Denver, underscoring expanding breed opportunity.

The Hereford Night in OKC sale grossed $542,250, showcasing 27.75 lots of herd bulls, bred and open females, herd picks and frozen genetics. The National Western Hereford Sale featured 34 lots and grossed $1,128,000 — the 12 bulls averaged $53,208.

Likewise, the Hereford influence shone bright in the Maternal Merit Sale in Denver, which featured 94 bred commercial females that averaged $5,701. Another 19 open heifers averaged just over $4,000 for a total sale average of $5,441.

This year’s Maternal Merit Sale included a set of purebred commercial Hereford females for the first time, as well as a set of straight Angus females bred to calving ease (CE) Hereford bulls. The commercial Herefords sold for more than the sale average and the black females bred to Hereford bulls outsold their contemporaries bred to Angus CE bulls.

Finally, hats off to the staff and directors of both events for their commitment to building the new facilities, which enhance exhibitors’ opportunity to showcase their genetics.

Someone once said offering the level of quality to make change in a seedstock sale should be painful! The proven donors offered in our fall sale leave us feeling similar pain. These females are proven, versatile and enable producers a pathway to progress, and are from the heart of our herd!

Keep it Coming Performance Matters

by Shane Bedwell

Quality and selection shine.

What an amazing run it has been so far in 2026 — cow-calf producers are in the driver’s seat and look like they’ll stay there for an extended period, based on the January USDA Cattle report.

The U.S. beef cow herd continued to contract last year with 1% fewer cows Jan. 1 than a year earlier at 27.6 million head. Herd size declined or held steady in all states with one million or more beef cows. Last year’s calf crop was the smallest since 1941. Although beef heifers retained for replacement edged 0.9% higher, meaningful herd expansion will take at least a couple more years.

“Beef cow slaughter is expected to stabilize or perhaps increase some in 2026. That means that the slight increase in beef replacement heifers will be needed just to maintain the current herd or, at most, increase fractionally in 2026,” according to Derrell Peel, Extension livestock marketing specialist at Oklahoma State University, in his early-February market comments.

As more producers consider herd expansion, markets indicate they are stepping up their game when it comes to quality, both genetics and kind. Rather than heading to the bargain bin during this period of historically high prices, many buyers appear willing to pay even more for the good ones. As seedstock producers, this means we must get it right. The bulls you sell this spring resulted from genetic selection decisions you made at least two years ago. You’re applauded for making the decisions that underpin growing demand for Hereford genetics.

Selection opportunity abounds

Look at the Table 1, which lists the top 10 sires of progeny registered with the American Hereford Association in 2025. Study their genetic profiles (Table 2). The average expected progeny differences are impressive, particularly for the economically relevant traits of importance. As valuable, these sires offer much in terms of phenotype and cosmetics. Several of these sires have or will be evaluated in the National Reference Sire Program, further anchoring their place in the breed’s history. All told, many would consider this list of top 10 registration sires to be the strongest yet.

As you think about your genetic selections this spring, I believe there are more good bulls available in the breed today than there have ever been, bulls that can keep Hereford in the forefront of the commercial industry.

A recent conversation highlights the point. It was between a Hereford breeder and a prospective commercial customer who runs only Angus on Angus.

“I have to give you Hereford guys credit, this baldy deal is for real, and they always top the market at the local sale,” said the commercial producer. “I think I’m going to get me a couple Hereford bulls this year.”

When considering your breeding program, stay focused and disciplined. You never know when your shot is coming, but I guarantee folks are watching your program. As always, keep them sound.

DNA Testing Tips and Tricks Member Service

by Laura Kouba

We’ve officially been with Weatherbys Scientific for more than six months — and upwards of 15,000 genotypes have already been completed. As a reminder, all defects are now included in the genomic profile. The only option for add-on testing is the horned/ polled (H/P) test, now at a lower rate. Including the H/P testing in your genomic profile adds an additional $8 to the cost.

It’s always better to request all testing at once. If you do not request all testing and add the H/P test at later date, it does cost more — $30 instead of just $8. As well, the sample may no longer be on file for additional testing, depending on the timing.

When you request an add-on H/P test, several things happen. First, we must find when and where the original sample was tested. If the original sample was tested at Neogen, we may not have that sample in our possession to do the add-on testing. The American Hereford Association (AHA) is currently working with Neogen to retrieve all DNA samples submitted in 2025 and prior to the transition to Weatherbys. Until then, some samples submitted in 2025 may not be available for additional testing.

If we do have the sample, it will be pulled from storage and sent back to Weatherbys for testing. This adds extra time to the testing

process. This is why it’s always best to request all testing, all at once. If the original sample was tested at Weatherbys, the additional H/P test can be done easily and quickly.

For the best turnaround time, we suggest getting your DNA samples to ETC-Research by Thursday or Friday of each week. This helps ensure processing starts the following week.

Moving forward, the AHA encourages you to always collect and store an additional sample on any animals you’re testing or even animals you may need to test in the future. Having an extra sample on hand is always a good safety net for any potential future testing.

DNA sample types and proper storage

Below is a list of accepted DNA sample types and tips for proper storage.

1. Hair or blood cards: These types of samples can be stored in a dark dry place at room temperature.

2. Semen: The semen can be thawed, but it is suggested to keep it frozen until a DNA test is needed.

• Note: When shipping semen samples, make sure they are protected. We suggest a padded envelope or box as the semen straw can easily break in the mail.

3. Tissue sample units (TSUs): These can be stored in several ways.

• The preferred method of storing is in a negative thaw cycle freezer, but they can be stored in a regular freezer.

• There has been success in storing them in a cool dry place. Some TSUs have been stored this way for three years and are still viable.

• The biggest thing is to protect them from sunlight. For example, don’t leave them inside a hot vehicle or in direct sunlight.

• Note: Like shipping semen, TSUs should be shipped in a protected envelope or box to ensure they arrive intact.

As always, if you have any questions about the DNA process (requesting tests, collecting samples, getting results, sample storage, etc.), please don’t hesitate to contact customer service via phone at 816-842-3757 or email at records@hereford.org.

CHB Bites

Spreading CHB Excitement

Building brand loyalty one customer at a time.

With rising costs and tariff shocks reshaping the market, many brands have abandoned loyalty programs and innovation for fleeting promotional gains. In the face of price fatigue, consumers seek out brands they can trust — those that deliver indulgent simplicity, align with their values and offer peace of mind.

Beef®. He can be reached at edavis@herefordbeef.org.

The economic outlook may remain uncertain, and yet the American Hereford Association (AHA) is placing its bets on the timeless badge value and timely appeal of Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB). American chefs and consumers have a growing appetite for U.S.-grown beef with a prized heritage, responsibly raised to deliver upon the promise of distinctive bold, beefy flavor and juicy tenderness. CHB certainly brings value to the menu and meat case, but this value needs to be rationally and emotionally defined for audiences across the country.

Certified Hereford Beef is leveraging its competitive advantages by redefining our positioning; overhauling key messaging to create a bold, differentiating identity; and deepening its relationships. Our new campaign is only in its infancy, but it is resonating with customers new and old.

In the retail arena, we are winning prospects and customers over with our CHB story, new marketing

support and the power of personal connections. We are working hand in hand with customers to build brand integrity and sales — from 4T’s Family Market, our customer for nearly three decades, to Ridley’s Family Markets, a new, top-tier CHB Premium customer and Rancho Markets, which remains one of our largest and most highly valued partners.

Look at the in-store exposure and excitement surrounding Certified Hereford Beef displayed in the pictures. These photos give testimony to the winning combination of CHB product integrity, marketing and the fostering of caring personal connections.

I extend a big thank-you to our CHB team for all their work and passion and to our valuable partners whom we rely upon to amplify our compelling brand story. We thank our customers who trust us to bring a phenomenal eating experience to their patrons. Thank you, also, to the AHA members who enthusiastically promote the brand and support building awareness and demand for Certified Hereford Beef, helping ensure sustainable and profitable Hereford operations.

Continuing the Mission Foundation’s Focus

by Chloé Durian

The Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) has long been blessed by the foresight and selfless dedication of board members who grow the organization’s ability to fulfill its mission.

Thanks to Steve Folkman, Ixonia, Wis., and Nancy Keilty, Cedar, Mich., who retired after decades of dedicated service. As we celebrate their contributions, we’re also excited to welcome the energy and leadership of HYFA’s new board member, Curtis Curry, McAlester, Okla.

Time well spent Folkman was recognized during the American Hereford Association (AHA) Annual Meeting in October 2024. He joined the HYFA board in 2009 and spent almost two decades influencing the success of the foundation and the growth and sustainability of the VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE). Folkman served on the show oversight

committee and helped implement the Growing a Lasting Legacy Campaign, which has grown to more than $2 million and will help sustain JNHE for generations to come.

Through his avid support of the Lot 1 Foundation Female, Folkman and his family were essential to HYFA’s beginnings. The national sale tradition has generated more than $1 million since 2008. His influence on the board, the Hereford breed’s future and HYFA is evident — many milestones were reached during his tenure.

Keilty’s HYFA involvement began during the Music on the Mountain Capital Endowment Fundraiser in 2008. She joined the HYFA board in 2009 and was committed to the scholarship committee. She played a key role in establishing the Ball/Cottonwood Springs Farm Scholarship Endowment and concluded her service with a gift that positioned the HYFA to expand opportunities on an international level.

pillars of HYFA, strengthening the foundation of Hereford organizations and ensuring lasting support for generations to come.

Passing the torch

Curry, the newest member of the HYFA board, owns Curry Herefords with his family. The operation has been an active and involved leader in the Hereford breed. With a passion for the next generation, Curry is no stranger to leadership, having served on the AHA Board of Directors from 2013-2016. He is a 10-year director of the Oklahoma Hereford Association and was inducted into the Oklahoma Hereford Hall of Fame in 2025.

The Cottonwood Springs Farm Global Education and Leadership Endowment was established to support the Young Breeders Competition, held in conjunction with the World Hereford Conference (WHC) every four years. The endowment also includes dedicated funding for a new global grants program, designed to help National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) and AHA members (ages 18-26) participate in international travel and agricultural education experiences. Together, these efforts aim to strengthen global connections and develop a pipeline of future leaders.

In honor of her service, Keilty was recognized during the Shaping the Breed’s Future: HYFA Scholarship and Awards Luncheon during the 2025 WHC in Kansas City, Mo. She and her husband, Tim, have poured immeasurable time, energy and financial support into the core

Curry and his late wife, Donna, raised their children, Cameron and Staci, in the Hereford breed — both were accomplished NJHA members inside and outside the showring. Curry has been instrumental to HYFA’s scholarship program. He has served on the selection committee since 2023, when the Donna Curry Memorial Scholarship was established. Three $2,500 scholarships are awarded at JNHE each year in honor of Donna and the Curry family’s legacy.

The foundation is proud to welcome Curry to the board of directors and extends its sincere gratitude to Folkman and Keilty for their dedicated service to HYFA.

Guided by servant leadership, HYFA board members work behind the scenes to strengthen the Hereford breed and expand opportunities for the next generation. With this continued commitment, the foundation is well positioned to grow and serve the leaders of tomorrow.

Investing in Leadership, Legacy and the Future

The National Hereford Women (NHW) continue to champion the next generation of leaders. Throughout 2026, supporters have multiple opportunities to participate in fundraising activities to support leadership events and awards. A primary focus of the group is to raise funds for the Faces of Leadership endowment in partnership with the Hereford Youth Foundation of America — an investment ensuring National Junior Hereford Association members will have access to leadership development experiences for years to come.

weeks leading up to the sale. Mark your calendar and plan to bid.

When the VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) comes around, we turn our focus to the fun in Madison, Wis. The week begins with two cherished traditions on July 5. First, the annual queen’s orientation welcomes state queens as they step into their roles as ambassadors for the breed. This event helps equip them with the confidence, professionalism and leadership needed to represent the Hereford community on the national stage. Following orientation, National Hereford Queen’s Tea will bring together future, past and present queens, mentors and supporters for a special gathering to celebrate sisterhood, poise and the legacy of women. Both events highlight the NHW commitment to empower young leaders and foster lifelong connections.

secure premier visibility while supporting a meaningful cause.

Together, these events reflect the NHW mission of supporting youth, celebrating community and building a legacy that will carry the Hereford breed forward with strength and pride.

The art of a simple ‘thank you’ Finally, let’s remember to simply say ‘thank you.’ Amid busy show seasons and constant activities, quiet acts of kindness can easily be overlooked. From the mom who cooks for your team, to the people who make announcements and line up classes and any person who works behind the scenes — these gestures are the threads holding our community together.

To add a playful twist to the JNHE week activities, the opportunity to “Flock Your Friends” returns by request. For a $50 donation, members can adorn friends’ stalls with flamboyant, bright pink flamingos — sure to bring laughter, surprise and a touch of barn‑aisle mischief to the show. For those hoping to avoid being flocked, flamingo‑prevention insurance is available for purchase.

The momentum continues July 6 with an 18 hole golf tournament, adding fellowship, food and fun. Funds raised directly support the Faces of Leadership endowment. The title sponsorship of the event will be available for purchase during the Champions Online Sale March 3, providing bidders a chance to

A handwritten note, a quick call or a thoughtful text can remind someone their efforts are seen and appreciated. As we celebrate leadership and legacy, let’s honor everyday kindness. A sincere thank you costs nothing; yet its impact lasts far beyond the moment it’s given.

The NHW extends a thank you of their own to everyone who donated items for the Celebration of America food lot sold at the American Royal sale last fall. The generosity of the Hereford community never goes unnoticed. Another thank you goes to Topp Herefords for stepping up as the buyer. Support for one another helps to keep creating opportunities for Hereford youth.

We’re grateful for every one of you — thanks for being part of something bigger than yourselves.

Youth Movement

by Harlee Watson

Step Into Your Future

As the dust settles from another incredible and busy show season, it’s impossible to not feel proud of what Hereford youth have accomplished so far this year — from the early mornings in the wash rack and excitement of stepping into the showring to the satisfaction of seeing hard work pay off. The close of another show season also reminds me the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) experience stretches far beyond the backdrop and offers countless ways for members to grow, learn and lead.

While banners are well worth the celebration, the opportunities outside the showring are vital in shaping NJHA members.

Scholarships, JNHE and more

Begin with the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) scholarships, which encourage college-aged members to reflect on their goals, articulate their passions and take meaningful steps toward their futures. These scholarships are designed for every member willing to share their story, highlight their involvement and dream about what comes next. Now is the perfect time to gather your materials, polish your resume and take advantage of the support HYFA proudly provides each spring.

At the same time, preparation for the VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) contests offers a chance to stay engaged all year long, with opportunities ranging from public speaking, photography and poster design contests to livestock judging and the always-competitive Hereford bowl. These contests challenge juniors to build confidence and discover new interests they might not have found inside the showring.

For members eager to understand the commercial side of the beef industry, the NJHA Fed Steer Shootout offers a unique, real-world view of cattle feeding and the performance data driving value, while providing a firsthand look at how their genetics perform in the feedlot and on the rail. The annual NJHA Fed Steer Shootout Field Day expands the opportunity by giving participants a chance to see their cattle on feed, while providing hands-on education to all who attend. This program highlights Hereford’s ability to excel in real-world conditions and contribute to a more sustainable beef industry.

For those craving connection, adventure and personal growth, the Faces of Leadership conference stands as one of the most transformative events the NJHA offers, bringing together juniors from across the country for workshops, industry tours, leadership development and friendships lasting long after the conference ends. It’s a place where junior members learn to communicate, collaborate and step into their potential.

Together, these opportunities help develop well-rounded leaders — individuals who understand the beef industry, communicate effectively, think critically and contribute meaningfully to their communities and the agricultural world. No matter your age, background or comfort zone, the NJHA has a place for you. The show barn may be where many juniors begin their journey, but it doesn’t have to be where they stop.

The NJHA encourages every member to explore the full range of experiences

available, find the opportunities that fit your passions and discover just how big your future can be when you step beyond the showring. The NJHA board of directors is ready when you are, waiting to support you as you take the next step on your journey as an NJHA member.

Hereford on Top

Hereford bulls win supreme champion at five national shows.

by Sydnee Shive

Four different Hereford bulls claimed supreme championships among all breeds at five national shows from January 2025 to January 2026 — a true testament to the exceptional quality of Hereford bulls.

In addition to rising above their peers in the showring, the average price of a Hereford bull reached almost $8,800 in 2025 (view Sales Digest: 2025 in Review on Page 100). As demand increases for bald-faced cattle, Hereford breeders continue to move the needle and provide value to all segments of the beef industry.

SILO H18 Brandston 2404 ET

Shown by Silo Creek Farm, New Windsor, Md., and Lane and Logan Cady, New Windsor, Md., SILO H18 Brandston 2404 ET received the slap for supreme champion at two different shows — the 2025 Cattlemen’s Congress and the 2025 North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE). The bull is a Feb. 3, 2024, son of BK Red River H18 ET.

Father-son duo Scott and Shane Schaake, Manhattan, Kan., named him supreme champion in Oklahoma City.

“… there’s not a bull out here that’s as good — phenotypically and visually — as the one we get the opportunity to select,” Scott said before choosing Brandston supreme champion.

Husband and wife, John and Jeannie Griswold, Stillwater, Okla., picked him as supreme overall champion in Louisville.

“I think we’ve got some bulls in here that definitely can make a difference in the industry,” Jeannie said before the NAILE supreme bull selection. “That’s the thing about Louisville. These bulls have the potential to go out and be on a lot of pedigrees.”

MML Joe Havoc 7L

Todd, Kim and Kasey Herman, Lima, Ohio; Wilson Stock Farm, Kensington, Ohio; Piper Seiss, Thurmont, Md.; and Morgan Love, Baltimore, Ohio, exhibited MML Joe Havoc 7L, the supreme champion bull at the 2025 Keystone International Livestock Exposition. He was born May 25, 2023, and sired by Purple MML Mayhem.

Jon Davis, Bidwell, Ohio, sorted the supreme bull drive in Harrisburg, Pa., alongside his son, Logan.

“This is awesome out here,” Jon said in his supreme drive comments. “From one end to another, you guys have such a great display of bulls out here.”

BK Pre Game 9113L

BK Pre Game 9113L topped all breeds of bulls at the 2025 American Royal — a historic moment at one the last shows in Hale Arena during the World Hereford Conference. He was shown by Hawes Cattle, Athens, Texas; Jeff Paulsen, Preston, Iowa; and Garrett Post, Shabbona, Ill. The bull was born Feb. 17, 2023, and was sired by H The Profit 8426 ET.

Judge Jim Williams, Boling, Texas, selected Pre Game as supreme champion bull in Kansas City, Mo.

“The bull I’m going to use has tremendous muscle shape to him, has a lot of thickness — big, massive bull — very, very massive. He’s not the most massive bull in this drive, but he’s a bull that’s plenty stout,” Williams said before naming Pre Game. “He has a big top and rib on him and tremendous testicular development … he just looks like a bull that’s going to be breeding a lot of cattle.”

Stellpflug All That ET

Stellpflug All That ET claimed the supreme champion bull banner at the 2026 Cattlemen’s Congress, marking the second consecutive year a Hereford has won the honor. Sired by JDH AH Benton 8G ET and born Jan. 30, 2023, he was exhibited by Hoffman Ranch, Thedford, Neb.; Lindskov’s LT Ranch, Isabel, S.D.; and Buck Cattle Co., Madill, Okla.

Judges Chris Mullinix, Manhattan, Kan., and Spencer Schrader, Wells, Kan., evaluated the supreme bull drive in Oklahoma City.

“(Spencer and I) saw things eye to eye and we named the same four bulls,” Mullinix remarked during the supreme drive. “After we walked them a second time, we were in lockstep.”

Editor’s Note: This list only includes bulls from level I and level II national shows recognized by the American Hereford Association. It does not include females or other supreme champions from state fairs, regional shows and other national shows.

Regenerative RANCHING

| by Hugh Aljoe

Regenerative RANCHING Regenerative RANCHING Drought Ready

Planning and pasture management can minimize the impact.

Periods of favorable rainfall conditions make everyone a better manager. Periods of drought conditions distinguish the better managers from the rest.

Many philosophical statements come to mind when I consider pasture management during drought. One of my favorites of all time came from Mr. Wayne Hamilton, one of my range science professors at Texas A&M University during my college years: “The time to start planning for a drought is when it is raining.” He immediately followed that statement with: “And the time to start planning for a rain is during a drought.”

The bottom line is pasture management requires planning, and there is no substitute for planning ahead, which encompasses two aspects: a management plan for typical conditions and contingency plans, which should include a drought plan.

Think ahead

The best means to prepare pastures for drought is effective long-term pasture management before the drought. The fact is that well-managed pastures are more resilient during stress and recover more rapidly afterward.

In application, this means pastures are managed for adequate long-term residual and litter cover; soil fertility for introduced and cropped pastures is maintained at proper levels for expected production; pastures routinely receive adequate growing-season rest and recovery; and stocking rate does not exceed carrying capacity. If these are accomplished effectively during favorable moisture conditions, then pastures will be in good condition when unfavorable conditions occur.

In today’s world, regional drought conditions are usually forecast and can be easily monitored as conditions change. For instance, the U.S. Drought Monitor is an excellent tool to track soil moisture conditions. In addition, states like Oklahoma provide producers with detailed and localized data, such as country-level monthly average rainfall via mesonets — networks of automated weather stations. Weather and climate tools such as these help inform producers about regional weather conditions, which help with planning. Informed producers should not be caught off guard as drought materializes.

Prepare for the worst

Drought preparation should include an appropriate contingency plan that involves strategies and activities that can be executed in an orderly fashion as adverse conditions persist.

You should prepare inventories of cattle by class, stored forages and standing forages to be grazed, as well as assessments of livestock water quantity and quality. It is also important to determine the period of time the herd could be maintained as is if drought conditions continued, as well as the length of time the herd could be retained as the stocking rate is incrementally reduced.

You must answer these questions:

• W hat do I need to do to get to the next season of anticipated rainfall?

• W hat do I need to do to get to the next spring growing season?

• How can I accomplish this while limiting the long-term damage to the pastures caused by grazing livestock?

Take action

Once drought settles on a region, you need to begin implementing your drought plans. Your first thoughts should include:

• Assessing available and estimated forage production for projected time periods.

• Developing a destocking plan and strategy to market existing livestock if forage demand exceeds projected forage supply.

• Determining the critical dates by which management decisions need to be made.

Typical destocking strategies include early weaning calves, marketing growing cattle and marketing open and problem cows (poor udders, eye and feet issues, poor disposition). Likewise, marketing less uniform and poorer-performing cows with the intent of maintaining the most productive and uniform cows as the core herd.

Relocating the core herd to other regions of the country unaffected by drought conditions is also an option. Rarely is feeding through an extended drought a wise economic decision, but it is also an option. However, early identification and purchase of required hay supplies in bulk is usually much more cost effective before drought is fully realized, rather than waiting until hay prices become inflated.

Next is assessing livestock water supplies. Pastures with unreliable or less dependable water supplies should be grazed early while water is not limited in quantity or quality.

You should maintain adequate residuals in all pastures, especially the native grass pastures, where recovery

is longer and more difficult to achieve than in introduced pastures. If pastures are to be grazed harder or shorter or used as a sacrifice area, target introduced pastures such as bermudagrass, which can recover quickly with fertility, weed management and moisture. Avoid overutilization of native pastures. Manage the grazing by rotating the remaining cattle through pastures, closely monitoring the projected number of grazing days (weeks) ahead of the herd and the recovery rate of the pastures. If grazing expectations are not being met without overutilizing the pastures (grazing into the desired residual), destocking protocols should be further implemented. Avoid “throwing open” all the gates. Manage the grazing, recovery and residuals in the pastures throughout the duration. If drought conditions manifest during the peak rainfall periods of spring and early fall, early and timely implementation of management practices are of greater importance to meet projected production goals. You should apply fertilizer, especially nitrogen fertilizer, early at an adequate but conservative rate. You should perform establishment practices early in the season, and

only on the number of acres that can be well-prepared ahead of planting. Apply herbicide only if the target weeds are actively growing and not drought-stressed, usually early in the season. Make weed control a priority over fertility on introduced pastures if one must be chosen over the other.

Another wise management practice during drought is plowing and maintaining fire guards/breaks along fence lines around the perimeter of your property and pastures (including hay storage traps and barns), especially along the southern borders that adjoin county roads. With prevailing southerly winds, the southern boundaries are the most likely to be threatened by wildfires. This is a means to protect forage supplies in pastures during times when they are of the most value to your operation. In addition, regular planned use of prescribed fire on native pastures helps reduce buildup of plant material for wildfires to consume, aiding in suppression.

Consider a safety net

Participating in the USDA Risk Management Agency’s Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF) insurance program can provide some assistance during droughts. The PRF insurance

program is designed to provide coverage for your pastures, rangelands and grazed forage crops. It gives producers the ability to cover replacement feed costs when forage for grazing or harvest is lost due to insufficient precipitation, not just during extreme drought.

PRF annual enrollment is in the fall preceding the year of coverage. Local and regional independent insurance agencies offer PRF insurance. It is well worth considering if you are a producer with grazing livestock and hay. It won’t alleviate drought conditions, but it can make them easier to survive. However, keep in mind that the best drought insurance for pastures is good long-term pasture management before and during the drought.

New SenseHub® Cow Calf assists with reproductive efficiency, monitors cow herd

For producers using artificial insemination (AI) or embryo transfer (ET), getting cows or heifers pregnant promptly is critical. A high pregnancy rate requires good heat detection.1 Visual heat detection not only takes time, but it also isn’t an exact science.

Proprietary monitoring technology assists with breeding success, plus alerts producers to cows needing attention. Both benefits protect the investment of high-value cow-calf herds.

New SenseHub® Cow Calf helps detect estrus, determine ideal insemination windows and uncover reproductive issues faster, all while monitoring for well-being.

By continuously monitoring each cow or heifer, the system helps to identify when an animal is in estrus, allowing for insemination at the best time to optimize conception rates and minimize calving intervals.

SenseHub Cow Calf also can help detect a heifer or cow that didn’t conceive at approximately 21 days post breeding. It also reports anestrus animals, making it easier to spot those with irregular cycles.

Monitoring for well-being

The system provides continuous monitoring of herd activity and rumination through an ear-mounted accelerometer. Real-time data allows for early detection of behaviors that may suggest health issues, enabling prompt intervention.

Convenient alerts are delivered to smartphones, tablets or desktop computers, saving producers time and providing peace of mind. LED-lighted ear tags help easily identify animals flagged by the system.

SenseHub software provides customizable reports and dashboards to meet each operation’s needs and integrates with various cattle management platforms, providing actionable insights related to estrus, health and nutrition.

The system is easy to install and maintain. The time from placing an order to actively detecting heats is five to six weeks.

On a Mission

Breck Debnam named 2026 Hereford Herdsman of the Year.

by Wes Ishmael

Breck Debnam, Madison, Ga., is one of those people you always look forward to seeing again. He’s positive, quick to smile, eager to help and insightful. He also works hard to excel at managing, presenting and marketing the cattle in his care. All of this helps explain why his peers voted him the 2026 Hereford Herdsman of the Year.

“To me, being named Herdsman of the Year is the highest honor someone in my position can receive,” Debnam says. “To be recognized by your peers is truly meaningful. When I look at the list of those who have won in the past, it is full of names that I have looked up to for the last 13 years of my career.”

Debnam is a Hereford lifer and breed champion to the core.

“The people in the Hereford breed are family to me, and I can’t imagine life without what the Hereford cow has done for me,” he says.

It started when his brother purchased the family’s first Hereford heifer calf from Kyle Lemmon, a previous Hereford Herdsman of the Year. This was when Debnam was growing up in Maryland with a family that showed cattle, and he began his journey as a member of the National Junior Hereford Association.

“The summer after I graduated high school, I moved to Macomb, Ill., to work at Lowderman Cattle Company (LCC). While going to school and participating in the livestock judging

programs at Black Hawk East and Western Illinois University, I continued to work at LCC part time,” Debnam explains. “The Lowderman family, as well as the managers while I was there, Bill Widerman and Jae Van Horn, have been huge mentors for me in my career.”

Ultimately, Debnam moved to Madison to become herdsman for Innisfail Farms, owned by Whitey and Weyman Hunt. Whether or not the milder weather helped sway Debnam’s decision to head south, as Whitey reckons with a chuckle, there was no questioning the philosophical fit.

“At Innisfail, our mission is to take a holistic approach to the beef cow business,” Debnam explains. “The Hereford mother cow is an amazing animal. She is able to wean a large percentage of her mature weight while simultaneously getting pregnant at a rapid pace. We retain ownership in the feedyard, both of our own Hereford steers and customer cattle. These cattle need to be profitable in the feedyard.

“By identifying the cattle that work well on the maternal and terminal sides, we are finding the animals with the greatest profit potential for our commercial clientele. I am a firm believer that the cattle we make with the greatest profit potential for the commercial sector are the cattle we market to seedstock producers. If the customers of the seedstock producers who make an investment in our program have success, then our purebred customers ultimately have success.”

Lessons learned

Among his many duties, Debnam oversees the farm’s C-Lock system, which provides individual feed intake and conversion data. Whitey began considering the value of collecting and using such data years earlier.

“We cannot change what we do not measure. Phenotype collection is the backbone of any progressive operation,” Debnam says. “We have made a large investment in the future of our bull customers by investing in technology like the C-Lock system. We have always been able to measure gain. It is very easy to get excited about cattle with the largest weight per day of age. Figuring out the cost of that pound of gain brings a whole new perspective to it.”

Debnam uses the simple example of two bulls gaining the same weight per day, but one does so by consuming significantly less feed. All else being equal, he says it’s an easy decision to propagate genetics of the more feed-efficient bull.

Likewise, Debnam explains that retaining ownership in feeder cattle sired by their genetics has helped shape Innisfail Farm’s identity for more than five decades.

the logistics to ensure that they can own those cattle during the feeding phase if that is what they desire. On the other hand, if they decide to purchase genetics with a more maternal angle, and wish to market commercial replacement females, then I want to make sure that they capture the maximum amount of value

“Owning cattle through the feeding phase is an eye-opening experience. These cattle that stretch the profit margin beyond the mean have a huge place in the industry,” Debnam explains. “Even if our commercial customers are not retaining ownership, the technology is out there for their feeder cattle buyers to know what cattle work the best. In a basic sense, I want the same person to pay more for their calves every year because they have the genetic ability to turn a profit in the feedyard and on the rail. At the end of the day, this ensures our customers increase cash flow. Retaining ownership in our steers, as well as owning customer cattle, gives us the data necessary to know that Innisfail genetics work in this environment.”

Building momentum

Along with enabling genetic progress, documenting genetic performance is a cornerstone of building customer trust at Innisfail Farms.

“I believe that this is the most important part of my career. There are unprecedented opportunities for commercial cattlemen to optimize revenue in today’s market. The most important thing that I can do, in my position, is make sure that we offer them these opportunities,” Debnam says. “If they are investing in genetics that will convert and grade, it is my job to make sure that they have the ability to capitalize on this investment.

“Many of our customers do not have the critical mass necessary to put together a load-lot as an individual operation. I believe it is vital to our relevance as a seedstock producer to assist them in

By identifying the cattle that work well on the maternal and terminal sides, we are finding the animals with the greatest profit potential for our commercial clientele.

— Breck Debnam

Bob Bethel, Rocky Rill Ranch of northwestern Georgia, serves as a prime example of building partnerships with customers. Bethel began his commercial herd with Red Angus cows and then added Hereford bulls to create F1 red baldies.

“The scientific data behind heterosis is second to none,” Debnam says. “There is no other breed that will provide such breed purity to give the added heterosis within a gene pool.”

The baldy heifers at Rocky Rill make efficient mama cows when they’re retained or marketed to others who want reproductive efficiency. Steer mates to these heifers also prove their worth in the feedlot and on the rail. For instance, steers Bethel fed at HRC Feed Yards LLC in Scott City, Kan., as part of the Hereford Feedout Program all graded Choice and Prime, gaining an average of 3.6 pounds per day.

Bethel’s search for Hereford bulls led him to Innisfail Farm, where Debnam helped him identify herd-building genetics suitable to his goals. In turn, Bethel has provided commercial red baldy heifers that Innisfail Farm makes available to other commercial producers.

“Bob Bethel is as good of a commercial operator as you will find and a loyal bull customer,” Debnam says. “He keeps a sharp pencil and knows the kind of cattle it takes to increase your margin.”

Presenting opportunity

At the same time, Innisfail Farm understands the value of showcasing their genetic values on a national stage.

“National shows and events are key to our annual marketing plan,” Debnam explains. In fact, receiving Herdsman of the Year honors at the Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City came with the added sparkle of Innisfail showing the reserve grand champion pen-of-three bulls with sons of Innisfail Endorse 4021 1838 ET, Innisfail Trademark 1939 ET and Churchill Broadway 858F.

Likewise, Innisfail is an advocate for testing their genetics head-to-head with those of other breeders via the National Reference Sire Program (NRSP).

“The NRSP has played a pivotal role in our program at Innisfail Farm. The data that can be collected in the contemporary groups found at Olsen Ranches in Nebraska

is not found anywhere else. It is an amazing opportunity to put our bulls to test among some of the best in the country, under the same environmental conditions,” Debnam explains. “Beyond testing our own genetics, the NRSP offers a tremendous amount of insight toward seeking animals that can benefit our vision of creating a value-added seedstock product. There is nowhere else that we can acquire the conversion and harvest data that we demand to create genetics that ensure profitability for our customers in the terminal sector.”

Debnam sees proof of his belief with each bull sold and each repeat customer.

“The acceptance of the Hereford bull the past few years has been second to none. People are really opening their eyes to the functionality and longevity of a black baldy, red baldy or tiger stripe female, and the adaptability of these cattle — the Hereford bull plays a major role and people are really starting to notice,” Debnam says. “I definitely believe in the Hereford breed, and I think there is a bright future for all of us.

“I don’t think there is any other breed really putting together all of the fundamentals and really staying true to our roots and what made the Hereford bull so special, while continuing to use these new technologies to advance feedlot performance and profitability. I think there is certainly a world of opportunity out there and we’re all on the same page.”

The people in the Hereford breed are family to me, and I can’t imagine life without what the Hereford cow has done for me.

Demand for Hereford genetics stays strong.

All eyes were on the Hereford breed as the seats in Barn Three Arena were packed for the annual Hereford Night in OKC National Hereford Sale Jan. 9. When auctioneer Cody Lowderman lowered his gavel for the final time, 27.75 Hereford lots totaled $542,250 in Oklahoma City, Okla.

At a historic time in the cattle market and beef industry, the National Hereford Sale is a representation of the strength and quality of the breed.

Stepping into Sustainability

Beef Producers Lead

Sharing the message matters.

Sustainability is no longer a side conversation in the beef industry. It’s part of how beef is discussed at the grocery store, in the media and increasingly, in boardrooms and policy circles.

We know that consumers want to know how their food is produced and we’ve been improving sustainability for decades, long before it became fashionable or political. Now our task is to clearly explain what we are doing, why it works and why it matters for the future of U.S. beef. Doing so helps protect markets, preserve property rights and keep decision-making on the ranch.

While new initiatives continue to emerge, much of what can be done is already underway at your farm or ranch, or could be, and often with little cost or operational inconvenience. Here are five sustainability issues consumers care about and why every Hereford breeder should care, too.

Efficiency beats ideology — Consumers hear repeatedly that cattle produce methane. What they rarely hear is that U.S. beef producers have dramatically reduced emissions per pound of beef through better genetics, nutrition, animal health and management. Today’s cattle reach market weight faster, convert feed more efficiently and spend fewer days emitting methane than cattle did a generation ago.

Efficiency is the foundation of profitability and sustainability. Every improvement that shortens days on feed or improves gain protects margins and strengthens the industry’s defense against regulation. If producers don’t tell this story with data and confidence, critics will fill the vacuum with misleading claims.

Beef cattle production is increasingly more water efficient

— Consumers are concerned about water scarcity, especially in droughtprone regions. What often gets lost in conversation is that most water associated with beef production is rainfall on rangeland that cannot be farmed for crops. Grazing cattle turn grass into high-quality protein while maintaining open landscapes. Modern feedyards also use increasingly efficient water systems and carefully manage runoff and nutrient use.

Water is a pressure point. Local politics can quickly turn water issues into restrictions. Producers who document water stewardship protect their ability to operate, maintain community trust and avoid blanket rules. Even those of us blessed to live in areas with seemingly abundant water should be aware of waterrelated questions from consumers.

Grazing keeps grasslands working

We know that hundreds of millions of acres of U.S. land are unsuitable for row crops and ideal for grazing but realize many urban consumers lump all ‘country’ or rural areas together. Well-managed cattle grazing maintains grass cover, builds soil health, reduces erosion and lowers wildfire risk. Without cattle, much of this land would degrade or be at risk for urban development.

Land stewardship is risk management. Healthy soils and resilient forage systems mean better drought tolerance, lower input costs and long-term productivity. It never hurts to reinforce what we already know: farmers and ranchers are the country’s most effective conservationists.

| by Sarah Beth Aubrey

Producer-led animal care standards protect the industry — Consumers expect cattle to be raised humanely, but today they consider old-school ‘animal rights’ issues as the new sustainability issues. Don’t forget to point out how American beef industry animal care standards are developed by producers, veterinarians and animal scientists —not activist organizations — and for essential reasons. Things you can explain include low-stress handling, proper health management and responsible use of animal health tools.

We’ve seen evidence that unfounded animal welfare concerns are often the fastest route from social pressure to binding laws that do not make sense for cattle or cattle producers. Leading on animal care and demonstrating it helps reduce the risk of ballot initiatives, corporate mandates and regulations written by people with no experience handling cattle.

Define sustainability before others do — Consumers and buyers increasingly want proof, not promises. As such, sustainability claims have moved toward measurement and verification in all industries. The American Hereford Association’s own push to align metrics and definitions ensures sustainability is grounded in science, practicality and continuous improvement.

Markets reward clarity and consistency. We must own the role of defining sustainability on our terms.

From the Field

Norman “Shane”

Alder, 52, Melba, Idaho, passed Nov. 19, 2025.

Shane was born Sept. 13, 1973, in Nampa, Idaho, to Norman Craig Alder and Kathryn Etta (Rosier) Alder. He grew up in Melba as the second of six children, and he learned the values of hard work, service and faith. At 13 years old, he achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, which was a testament to his dedication and determination.

He graduated from Melba High School and later attended Utah State University (USU), where he earned a bachelor’s degree in animal science. While at USU, he met Becky, the love of his life, in a church group. The couple married Nov. 7, 1988, in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Salt Lake City Temple.

husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend, known for his ever-present smile, quick wit, gentle humor and unwavering desire to help those around him. He was selfless, supportive and endlessly patient.

Shane is survived by his devoted wife, Becky; parents, Norman and Kathryn; and children, Madyson (Ryan) Treasure, Carson, Conner, and Maycee Alder. He is also remembered by his siblings and extended family. He was preceded in death by his brother-in-law, John (Heidi) Robert Parish.

Shane returned to his hometown to work the land he loved. As a farmer and rancher, he poured his heart into caring for his crops, cattle and community. He also served as a board member for Farm Bureau, advocating for agriculture and those who depend on it.

As a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Shane served a two-year mission in Dallas, Texas. The experience shaped his compassion and strengthened his testimony. At the time of his passing, he was serving as the first counselor in the Warren Spur Ward bishopric, where he blessed many lives with his kindness, patience and example.

Shane had many talents and passions including flying, hunting, working with cows and music. He loved occasionally playing the piano and guitar, and he would often sing in a men’s group at church. He was able to obtain his pilot’s license just prior to a second cancer diagnosis. He was a beloved

Richard Dean Dvorak, 83, Lake Andes, S.D., passed Jan. 7.

Richard’s life was marked by service, storytelling and a deep connection to the land he called home. He was a lifelong Christian and devoted family man. Born Dec. 6, 1942, in Wagner, S.D., Richard grew up with strong country roots. He began his education in a one-room schoolhouse and graduated from Ravinia High School in 1960. He was proud to be a Ravinia Bear, where he played quarterback for the football team and ran track. The best part of high school was meeting his sweetheart, Darlene Johnson. Richard said he chased her until she finally gave in. They have many memories of going dancing and roller skating with friends at Rest Haven.

Shortly after graduation, he answered the call to serve his country by joining the U.S. Army. Before being stationed in Germany as a tank mechanic, he married the love of his life, Darlene, May 5, 1962. Both he and Darlene cherished the time they had together as newlyweds in Germany, and the grandkids loved to hear Grandpa tell the story of how Grandma traveled across the world on her own to be with him and somehow it all worked out.

After returning home from the Army, Richard embraced the life of a farmer and rancher — a role he cherished throughout his life. He was proud to be the only member of the Dvorak family in his generation to stay and work the land. His sons eventually joined him and together they expanded the farm and ranch. In 2022 Dvorak Herefords was honored as the South Dakota Hereford Breeder of the Year.

When Jeff and Boyd completely took over the farm and ranch operations, Richard retired but continued to play an active role, working with his boys and “supervising” the farm and ranch. Richard was a man of the land. Whether overseeing harvests or tending livestock, Richard found purpose and fulfillment in working the land. Even in his final days he reminded us God is in the hills. Richard’s family was his greatest joy. As the kids and grandkids were growing up, he rarely missed a ball game, concert or event. Being proud of each of them, he would tease that one day he would shout from the stands, “That’s my boy!” or “That’s my girl!” All the kids and most of the grandkids took driving lessons from Richard in his 1940s Willys Jeep. While he was hesitant to say, “I love you,” his actions showed everyone he loved deeply.

Richard was a devoted member of East Lake Andes Lutheran Church. His faith was central to his life, and he served on the church council, taught Sunday school, and helped care for “God’s Acres,” contributing both time and heart to his congregation. A man of deep faith, he was often called on to lead prayers and devotions for family and community gatherings. He had an extraordinary gift for friendship and humor. Known for telling stories and jokes that could light up any room, Richard was a friend to everyone he met. Mornings often began with what he

fondly called “therapy” — sharing coffee with friends while exchanging laughs and wisdom. He also enjoyed attending auctions with his friend, Dick Crabtree, where he delighted in finding unique oddities to add to his collection — each item with its own story waiting to be told. Later in life, he took up writing poetry and would often share at special events such as class reunions and birthdays. To have Richard write you a poem was a special treat.

Finally, Richard was active as a leader in his community, from 4-H to the American Legion and more. He was most proud of having served on the Charles Mix Electric Co-op board of directors for more than 20 years and nine years as president. He also served for many years on the Wagner Farmer’s Co-op Association board.

Richard is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Darlene; children, Jeff (Tiphany) of Lake Andes, S.D., Boyd (Jenni) of Pickstown, S.D., Laura (Dave) Livermore of Forest Lake, Minn., and Tara (Eric) Weeman of Chamberlain, S.D.; 12 grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and two more great-grandchildren on the way. His legacy lives on through them in their memories of shared laughter, lessons learned on the farm and stories passed down around the card table.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Grace (Harris) Dvorak; many aunts and uncles; brother, Robert J. Dvorak; and sister, Evelyn Hawley.

Richard lived a full life rooted in faith, family, friendship and farming. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire all who carry his legacy forward.

Edna Elizabeth Rogers Harrell, 88, Baker City, Ore., passed Jan. 14.

Edna was born April 24, 1937, in Rye, N.Y., to Mildred Fay Stuchell Rogers and John Beresford Rogers. The first 14 months of her life were spent at Highland Hall in Rye while her father worked for National City Bank of New York.

July 4, 1938, the family returned to Baker City, Ore., living with her grandparents until their family home was completed.

Edna attended Tiedemann Grade School, Baker Junior High School and Baker High School. She was elected class secretary during her junior year, made the honor roll and was active in Rainbow Girls and church activities, including playing piano for Sunday school. Family life included fishing trips to the Blue Mountains and the Oregon Coast. At age 9, Edna began horseback riding and caring for the family’s horses, Peanuts and Colonel, who were used for riding and winter sleigh rides.

Edna’s roots in Baker Valley extended back four generations to her Oregon Trail pioneer great-grandparents who homesteaded in the area in 1870. Her family’s legacy in Baker County included gold mining, banking and ranching. She was proud of her pioneer heritage and lived her entire life in Baker City.

Edna graduated from the University of Oregon in 1959 and married her high school sweetheart, Bob Harrell. They spent six years in the U.S. Air Force, during which time their three children were born — Beth, Bob Jr. and Linda. In 1965, the family returned to Baker City, where Bob began flying for Pan American Airlines. In 1970, they purchased their first ranch property and established Harrell Hereford Ranch, sourcing their foundation cattle from TT Herefords in Connell, Wash., and the Stone Ranch Dispersal in Hermiston, Ore.

As her children were growing up, Edna was deeply involved in youth and community activities, serving as a Girl Scout leader, 4-H leader, and junior Hereford association advisor. She was an active member of the Presbyterian Church, PEO Sisterhood Chapter AX, Salvation Army board and Baker Family YMCA board. Her involvement in the cattle industry included membership in the Baker County Cattlewomen’s Association, Oregon Washington Northern Idaho Hereford Association, Oregon Cattlemen’s Association, and American Hereford Association (AHA), where she served on the AHA

Auxiliary board of directors. In 2009, Harrell Hereford Ranch was honored with the Beef Improvement Federation Seedstock Producer of the Year Award, recognizing excellence across all cattle breeds.

After her divorce in 1987, Edna continued operating the ranch alongside her son, Bob Jr., and daughter, Beth Mackenzie. She remained closely involved in bull selection, breeding decisions, calving, herd health and marketing. She was grateful for the dedication of her children and their spouses and took great pride in the family’s cattle and horse programs. The ranch’s annual bull sale, held the first Monday in March, was especially meaningful to her. She often was found greeting customers from the auctioneer’s booth or stands, warmly welcoming friends old and new. This year’s sale marked the 47th annual event, and her presence was deeply missed.

In later years, Edna focused her energy on her family and ranch. She enjoyed brandings, keeping the ranch books, tending her yard and garden and delivering apples, pears, corn, honey, jams and baked goods to friends, family and neighbors. She delighted in attending every activity her grandchildren participated in — 4-H, sports, rodeo, skiing, school events and family trips to the coast. She loved touring the ranch in the side-by-side, huckleberry picking along the road, playing Skip-Bo, sharing jokes and ensuring no visitor ever left her home without cookies or homemade bread.

Edna had a wicked sense of humor and demonstrated remarkable resilience following a stroke in 2012. She was admired for her strength, grace and ability to face adversity without losing her love for life or devotion to others.

A loyal and generous citizen, Edna believed deeply in giving back to the community that had given so much to her family. Recognizing many local children lacked resources to participate in sports, camps and 4-H, she established the Edna Rogers Harrell Community Children’s Fund, formalizing her lifelong habit of quietly helping others. She often said it was her responsibility to

continued on page 96...

repay what she and her family had received and expressed deep gratitude for being able to live in such a special community.

Edna was a devoted mother of three, a proud grandmother of five, a soon-to-be great-grandmother, and a generous benefactress to her community.

She is survived by her children, Beth (Wannie) Mackenzie, Bob Jr. (Becky), and Linda (Walt) Anderson; five grandchildren; Duncan (Logan) Mackenzie, Lexie Harrell, Maggie Mackenzie (Corwyn) Werner, Matt and Marti Anderson; and special friend, John Wagner.

Jack Arlen Lewis, 84, Holt, Mo., passed Jan. 17.

Jack was born Dec. 17, 1941, to Howard Russell and Pearl Edith (Lohman) Lewis in North Kansas City, Mo., where he graduated from high school in 1959. He was an active Boy Scout, earning Eagle Scout, and a member of the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Jack attended Midland Lutheran College in Fremont, Neb., and graduated in 1963 with his bachelor’s degree in history and political science. From there he went on to teach history and coach high school tennis at the Iowa State Juvenile Home in Toledo, Iowa, for five years. He married Alicia Jo Conner in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Aug. 10, 1966.

Lewis Law Firm in 1975 and retired in 2023. Jack was an active member of the Clay County Bar Association, Missouri Bar Association and a 50-year member of Kiwanis, holding several offices and committee chairmanships numerous times. He was also a member of the American Polled Hereford Association, AHA, and Missouri Hereford Association, where he was a director for District One and a member of the hall of fame, the National Cattlemen’s

Beef Association, Missouri Cattlemen’s Association and I-35 Cattlemen’s Association. Jack loved to travel and had visited all 50 states, Mexico, England, Scotland, Canada, Australia and most recently, Ireland, with his daughter. He liked to fish and would go on trips with friends to Canada, Texas, Cabo, South Carolina, Alaska and, of course, the Niangua River in Missouri.

Jack attended and exhibited at every Missouri State Fair and American Royal for 30 years, from 1981 to 2022. He attended 20 national junior Hereford and polled Hereford shows across the country, first, with daughter, Katherine, and then with his grandson, Conner. He loved being in the show barn — he considered everyone family and enjoyed making his way around to talk to everyone.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents; brother, James Russell Lewis; and aunts, uncles and grandparents. Jack is survived by his wife of 59 years, Alicia; daughter, Katherine (James) Fuller of Cameron, Mo.; grandson, Conner Jackson Bolch of Las Vegas, Nev.; nephews, Gabriel Conner and Mitchell Lewis; nieces, Gretchen Keller and Elaine Conner; and his dedicated secretary of more than 25 years, Tammy West.

He is survived by his daughter, Camelle (Eric) Kinney; his son, Chad (Tracy) Yost; and his three grandsons, Kyson Kinney, Quintin Yost and Silas Yost, who were a great source of pride. Additionally, he is survived by his sister-in-law, Donna Yost Buller; and three nephews, Eric (Andrea) Yost, Kyle (Teresa) Yost and Jonathan (Stacey) Yost. He is also survived by his first wife, Jeanine Yost.

James “Jim Bob” Boyd Nelson Jr., 83, Plano, Texas, passed Jan. 21.

Jim Bob was born June 22, 1942, in Oklahoma City, Okla. He was the son of James Boyd Nelson Sr. and Nina Louise (Burns) Nelson, who preceded him in death, along with his sister, Mary Beth Olin.

Known for his goofy laugh and sense of humor, he will be missed by many.

Richard Vernon Yost, 79, Columbus, Neb., passed Jan. 18.

Richard was born Jan. 3, 1947, in Hastings, Neb., to Vernon and Nelda June (Statz) Yost. He was baptized and confirmed in the Evangelical United Brethren Church in Sutton, Neb.

Richard graduated from Ong High School in 1965, where his early years were filled with baseball, showing cattle, and 4-H; interests that shaped the rest of his life. He attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Central Community College in Hastings before returning to what he loved most — farming and raising cattle. He was a lifelong member of the AHA and a member of the Platte Valley Cattlemen Association.

Jim graduated from Geary High School in 1960, where he lettered in football, wrestling and baseball. He attended Oklahoma State University (OSU), where he pursued his passion for wrestling and was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. He furthered his education at Southwestern Oklahoma State University where he received a bachelor of science degree. Jim taught and coached from 1966-1972. Jim also proudly served as an Oklahoma Army Reserves Signal Corpsman.

Jim was married to Sharron Ward Reeves, mother of Jay and Angie, from 1966-1989.

In 1982, Jim founded North Preston Properties and retired in 2023 at the young age of 80. He was a respected leader in the commercial real estate industry for more than 40 years. From coaching to teaching to brokering real estate deals, Jim Bob was an entrepreneur at heart and was often referred to as one of Collin County’s movers and shakers.

Jim served on numerous boards and organizations, including Collin County Community College; the American Cancer Society; the Rotary Club, where he served as president; various political campaigns, and the Hendrick Scholarship Foundation.

He was a longtime member of Christ United Methodist Church in Plano. Jim was also a proud member of the AHA and operated a successful cattle business in both Texas and Oklahoma. Jim was a founding member of Gleneagles Country Club, established in 1985. Gleneagles was the scene of real estate deals, rounds of golf and exaggerated stories told in the men’s locker room.

Jim is survived by his significant
