Being Busy is a Blessing World’s Perspective

by Sydnee Shive

Work hard at work worth doing.

“Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” -Theodore Roosevelt

I think of this quote often. Theodore Roosevelt is one of my favorite historical figures. I was drawn to his work ethic, matter-of-fact attitude and passion for the outdoors at a young age, and I can vividly recall putting on a fake mustache and wire rim glasses for a fourth-grade assignment that involved researching and presenting about a historical figure — and also dressing like them.

But working hard at work worth doing and being busy are blessings. Waking up in the morning and looking forward to your work, whether it’s on the ranch or in the office, is a joy that some people don’t experience. Being passionate about your life and work is integral to leading a fulfilling life.

I love putting together the Hereford World and Baldy Advantage each month — working for a livestock publication was my dream as a high schooler. Working on this publication is especially rewarding because Hereford World has such a dedicated following — readers who spend time with each issue because they love it and the Hereford breed.

Throughout the year, the American Hereford Association (AHA) staff works hard for breeders that work even harder. Joe Rickabaugh, retired AHA director of seedstock marketing and recent Hall of Merit inductee, said it best: “The Hereford breed is great, but the breeders are greater.” It’s so much fun to work with and for individuals who truly love their work and are passionate about producing the best Hereford cattle possible.

In this issue

The November issue traditionally features the AHA Annual Report, which was unveiled at the 2025 World Hereford Conference and Annual Meeting. It begins on Page 39. The report covers highlights from Fiscal Year 2025, such as the AHA transitioning DNA testing to Weatherbys Scientific, recording more than 70,000 registrations and hosting the World Hereford Conference in the U.S. for the first time since 1996.

This issue also highlights the retiring AHA president, Chad Breeding. His story starts on Page 24. Chad’s steady leadership and dedication have helped guide the Hereford breed forward.

A recap of the third annual Hereford Seedstock Academy can be found on Page 30. The Academy was introduced in 2023 with core strategies of the AHA’s Strategic Plan in mind. Since then, 22 young Hereford breeders from across the U.S. have gathered to learn and forge powerful ideas and new connections.

Looking forward

The World Hereford Conference symbolizes working hard at work worth doing. Since I started with the AHA in 2022, plans have been in the works for the 2025 event. There were countless late nights, early mornings, careful planning and effort from AHA staff and volunteers to make this event a success.

Hosting the 2025 World Hereford Conference in Kansas City, Mo., was no small feat, but one worth doing. Our December issue will showcase research, results and stories from the 2025 World Hereford Conference and Annual Meeting. We are so excited to feature this once-in-a-lifetime event.

A New Zenith Breed Focus

by Jack Ward

Churchill Cattle Co. dispersal writes history.

I’ve been privileged during my lifetime to witness historic times in the beef cattle industry, such as today’s once unimaginable price levels for all classes and the events leading to such lofty heights.

Jack Ward is the executive vice president of the American Hereford Association. He can be reached at jward@hereford.org.

I’ve also had the honor to witness a handful of historic events. None of them top the World Class Dispersal hosted by Dale and Nancy Venhuizen, their family and staff at Churchill Cattle Co., Manhattan, Mont., in September.

When the final gavel fell at the two-day sale, it had grossed more than $10.4 million and averaged nearly $25,000 with electric bidding from the outset through the final lot. It was both amazing and historic, reaching beyond well-founded optimistic expectations.

This sale, representing a new hallmark in the Hereford breed, serves as a powerful message about integrity, unwavering dedication to specific goals and humbly putting others first.

“The cattle we present are the result of years of care, hard work and faith that the Lord was guiding us all along the way,” read the sale book introduction. “These cattle carry with them our story, and it means the world to us that they will go on to write new stories in new places. We are so proud of this herd, and we are proud to share them with you, their new owners.”

As soon as Churchill announced the dispersal, breeders from around the world made plans to visit and have a chance at buying genetics to improve their herds. Honestly, the sale had something for everyone. I believe Joe Goggins, auctioneer, may have summed it up best: “These opportunities only come along in a complete dispersal.”

Like many of you, I enjoyed looking through the catalog, reading the footnotes, studying pedigrees and reminiscing about Churchill’s impact on the Hereford breed and the cattle industry.

Leading by example

Dale and Nancy are Hall of Fame breeders because they left no rock unturned as they built their herd.

Churchill Cattle Co. searched constantly for genetics that would move their herd forward and serve the needs of their commercial cow-calf customers. They built the herd focused on traits of economic importance, such as calving ease, optimal growth and carcass merit without sacrificing efficiency, udder and teat quality, structure or temperament.

The Venhuizens were dedicated to collecting and reporting performance data in their quest to build the predictable genetics others came to covet. They were long-time champions of the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) Whole Herd Total Record Performance (TPRTM) program and always sought other ways to validate their genetics, including participating in the National Reference Sire Program and Hereford Feedout Program. Churchill Cattle Co. also embraced proven and new technologies to magnify genetic progress.

Dale and Nancy were always willing to give back through leadership, too.

Dale served two terms on the AHA Board, including a term as Board president. He also has been a Hereford breed ambassador at various international functions, including his role as chairman of this year’s World Hereford Conference.

The Churchill Cattle Co. dispersal was truly a World Class event. It reflected the couple’s vision and decades of meticulous effort. Breeders from around the world showed their appreciation. Congratulations to Dale, Nancy, their family and entire crew.

A great big thank you to all buyers, bidders and friends who joined us at the farm or online at our Foundations for the Future ’25 Sale! Above all, we thank you for your friendship and are humbled by your support. We appreciate your confidence in our program. If we can be of any assistance with your purchases, please let us know.

Hereford Demand Surges Performance Matters

by Shane Bedwell

The opportunity is yours.

Demand for Hereford genetics and enthusiasm around the breed continue at unprecedented levels. Before counting fall sales, the American Hereford Association (AHA) field staff reported more Hereford bulls selling at auction this year than during the entirety of 2020 and nearly as many as in all of 2021 (see Table 1). The average price through August of this year was $8,621, which was $1,300 more than last year’s average price.

All cattle and beef prices are historically high but selling more bulls for more money into a smaller national beef cow herd equates to increased breed market share.

Even at this price level, commercial producers are finding more proverbial bang for their buck with Hereford bulls because the breed’s inherent genetic advantages of efficiency, docility and fertility are worth more than ever before. Increased value also comes with the breed’s extraordinary carcass quality improvement.

This opportunity exists as long as Hereford breeders stay true to the committed, disciplined genetic improvement that has carved out today’s historic opportunity.

Improving DNA sample turnaround

Speaking of genetic improvement and related tools, AHA’s transition to Weatherbys as its official DNA lab continues to be successful. After six months and more than 15,000 samples processed, turnaround time has been largely excellent.

reached at sbedwell@hereford.org. * No fall 2025 sales included.

The stage is set for Hereford to continue expanding market share, too. The current demand increase will be magnified by national cow herd expansion. More commercial producers are likely to utilize Hereford as an essential component in disciplined crossbreeding to add both direct and maternal heterosis — keep the momma cow in mind at every turn. There is also the industry shift to feeding cattle for significantly more days and to heavier finished weights. Hereford genetics maintain their advantage in feed efficiency across these longer feeding periods. Increasing data suggests Hereford genetics also reduce the risk of late-day feedlot mortality due to bovine congestive heart failure.

When you send your kits directly after requesting them, the process is taking about four weeks from the time the sample is acknowledged to the time AHA receives the first results and adds them to the genomic pipeline. We’re seeing the quickest turnaround time on samples arriving in East Hampton, Mass., by Friday each week, enabling these DNA samples to begin processing in the very next shipment. Keep in mind, the preferred DNA sample type is a tissue sample unit (TSU), which can also aid turnaround time. Weatherbys also processes hair, blood cards and semen. Please do not send whole blood tubes for processing.

As always, keep them sound.

Avoid DNA Testing Delays

As we continue transitioning to the new American Hereford Association (AHA) DNA lab, Weatherbys Scientific, there may be some questions about DNA sampling and how to properly submit those samples. To clear up any confusion, the proper way to submit your DNA sample has not changed. Samples, no matter the type (hair, semen straw, blood card or tissue sample unit [TSU]) must be attached to the individual DNA submission forms. This ensures the proper sample and test is completed for that animal. Sending your samples in any other way will lead to delayed processing time or even the samples being returned unprocessed.

DNA submission cautions

Avoid these pitfalls when submitting DNA samples to Weatherbys to ensure you receive the results in a timely manner.

• Do not place your TSU/TSUs back into the small white box they came in. Even if you’ve written next to the sample to identify which animal it is, this isn’t the proper way to submit the sample. It is not the lab’s job to match the correct sample with the correct form. This adds additional processing time to your sample along with the added opportunity for human error when someone (who isn’t familiar with your animals/samples) must match the sample to the proper form.

• Avoid putting the sample(s) in individual bags or envelopes and sending the submission form(s) separately — even if you’ve labeled which animal’s sample is in the bag or envelope. Again, the samples need to be attached to the submission form.

• Hair samples should not be stored in sealed bags or envelopes. If you are going to put a hair sample in a bag or envelope, be sure to leave it unsealed. ANY moisture getting

into the bag or envelope before it’s sealed could damage the hair sample, making it unable to be tested. Hair samples should always be kept at room temperature and where air can get to them.

• Do not place a sample and form in an envelope or bag without also physically attaching the sample to the form. The sample may fall out when the envelope is opened, and that can lead to potential sample mix-ups, contamination, missing samples, etc. — always attach the sample to the submission form.

• Avoid sending multiple samples for the same animal/submission form. Please only send one sample per submission form. For example, don’t send both a hair sample and a blood card. Sending more than one for an animal causes confusion at the lab, and then the lab must stop and contact the AHA to figure out which one needs to be processed. Only ONE sample can be processed per submission form. If you are worried about one sample type failing versus the other, take multiple samples from the animal, but keep the “backup” samples; if the first sample fails, you have a backup to send in and try again.

Need a hand?

As always, if you have any questions about the DNA process (requesting tests, collecting samples, getting results, etc.) please don’t hesitate to contact customer service via phone or email.

What’s New?

Association News and Events

“What’s New?” is a column designed to keep you in the know about Hereford happenings. You can sign up for Hereford Headlines, an electronic newsletter distributed the first Friday of each month by the American Hereford Association (AHA) highlighting Hereford news and events. You can also receive the Bald Faced Bottom Line, a commercially-focused electronic newsletter sent the third Friday of each month. To subscribe to these free newsletters, send an email to outreach@hereford.org. Archived issues are posted at Hereford.org.

Association News Breed improvement adopted changes and initiatives

The Board reviewed suggestions presented by the DNA policy task force (Dave Bielema, Sam Shaw, Mark Cooper, Mark Squires and Charlie Boyd) and unanimously supported the following:

1. In addition to AI sires, embryo transfer (ET) donor dams and walking sires born after Jan. 1, 2026, will be required to have a genomic profile completed at the AHA official lab and be fully parent verified and tested for all recognized genetic conditions.

2. The Board voted unanimously to purge all DNA samples starting Jan. 1, 2026, after the requested testing is complete.

3. For other accepted DNA policy changes, please see Hereford.org/ Hereford-Handbook.

DNA sample storage policy

The American Hereford Association (AHA) Board of Directors voted unanimously during the fall Board meeting to purge, starting on Jan. 1, 2026, all DNA samples submitted to AHA’s official lab on or before Dec. 31, 2024. The AHA Board has determined to offer members the opportunity to request a return of any sample that was submitted to the AHA official lab prior to Dec. 31, 2024. These requests must be made prior to Dec. 31, 2025, with the following understanding:

1. A member must submit a request for the DNA samples they would like to retrieve. Only samples that were originally submitted by a member will be returned.

2. The AHA does not guarantee a timeline for delivery of the samples after the request is made, and it is highly recommended that requests are only made on animals that are deceased and there is no other sample available, including semen.

3. The AHA does not guarantee that a sample can be found, or that there will be viable DNA available.

4. Please understand that DNA sample storage is different for each type of DNA (hair, blood card, tissue sample unit [TSU]).

5. A fee will be charged for each sample that is requested to be returned. This fee will be determined from time to time by the AHA Board. At this time, the fee that has been established by AHA’s Board is $10 per sample plus packaging and shipping costs. Moving forward, any DNA sample submitted after Jan. 1, 2025, the testing lab, in agreement with the AHA, will use the submitted sample for the purpose of conducting the testing requested by the member. After the initial testing is complete, the AHA, in agreement with the AHA official DNA testing lab, will store the remaining DNA for any additional testing that is available at the lab for a period of one year. After one year, the sample will be subject to disposition. There is no guarantee by the AHA or the AHA official lab that there will be any additional or viable DNA available from the submitted sample. It is understood that, while the AHA’s agreement with its official testing lab requires the testing lab to store the remaining DNA sample for a period of one year, the AHA has no obligation or responsibility to do so or to make such remaining

sample available to the member for subsequent testing or use.

Moving forward, the AHA would encourage any breeder to collect and store an additional sample if they deem necessary. Most frequently used DNA types submitted and storage method:

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

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

3. TSUs can be stored (methods shared from Merck representative):

• 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 have been stored this way for three years and are still viable.

• The biggest thing is to protect them from sunlight.

Sharing of ISAG/ICAR parentage markers

Starting Jan. 1, 2025, the AHA Board adopted a policy to share ISAG/ICAR reduced panel parentage markers through a request submitted to the AHA from a World Hereford Council member, other breed associations or any AHA member. A fee, determined from time to time by the AHA Board of Directors, will be charged for any requests except for those from any World Hereford Council member. Currently, the fee for an AHA member is $10 for each animal requested. Please contact AHA customer service with any questions or requests at 816-842-3757 or records@hereford.org.

Balancing Books and the Barn Youth Movement

by Lauren Gatz

For many Hereford youth, their everyday routine revolves around the barn — early mornings rinsing calves, late nights working hair and weekends spent traveling across the country for shows. But when school takes you hundreds of miles from home, that balance looks different.

Jordan Lamb, National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) member from Wilson, Wis., knows the feeling. Now a sophomore at Kansas State University (K-State), she balances her involvement in the NJHA, leadership roles on campus and work at Jensen Ranch — all while staying connected to the Hereford industry. Moving to Kansas for school has allowed her to expand her network, work with local breeders and learn alongside fellow NJHA members at K-State,

while pursuing her passion for the showring and the Hereford breed.

“This past year has certainly taken some getting used to,” Lamb says. “For as long as I can remember, it was normal for me to always have a heifer in the barn and travel to shows year-round. After moving away for school, however, I’ve found new ways to stay involved in the industry without doing what had been my routine for so many years.”

She credits the Hereford community at K-State for helping her navigate this transition.

“Finding my ‘family’ here has given me opportunities to grow, stay connected to the industry and take on experiences I never would have had if I hadn’t taken the leap and moved to Kansas for school,” she says.

others, consistent effort is what separates short-term wins from lasting achievement.”

For juniors juggling school and showing, Lamb emphasizes the importance of support and perspective.

Working for Jensen Ranch has given Lamb a chance to stay hands-on with cattle and learn from established breeders while balancing her schoolwork. At the same time, her campus leadership roles allow her to develop skills that complement her involvement in NJHA and the agriculture industry.

While Lamb doesn’t spend as much time on the road for shows as she normally did, lessons from the showring continue to guide her as a student.

“Success cannot happen without hard work,” Lamb says. “Whether it’s spending hours in the barn working on hair and making sure every detail is just right or studying late at night to prepare for an exam, success rarely comes without sacrifice and determination. While some things may come easier than

“Don’t be afraid to ask for help, whether that’s from teachers, family or older juniors who have been in your shoes. Both school and showing can teach you important skills, and the effort you put into each will pay off in different ways. Most importantly, don’t lose sight of why you do it. Showing cattle should be fun and rewarding, not just another stressor, so give yourself grace, enjoy the journey and celebrate the small victories along the way.”

Lamb’s story shows that being involved in the NJHA and the Hereford community doesn’t have to stop when you leave home. With dedication, planning and the right support, youth can continue to grow as leaders, livestock producers and students while balancing the demands of college.

Onward and Upward Foundation’s Focus

by Ray Ramsey

Trying to encapsulate an entire year of change and improvement has led me down two distinct paths. The first is where it all began. The Hereford Youth Foundation of America’s (HYFA) founding president, Bob Call, would be amazed at the breadth of activities and the balance sheet’s growth. It was Bob’s foresight, diligence and execution that led to combining all Hereford groups into the HYFA we know today.

The second path I can’t help but travel, when reflecting on the past year, is the utmost importance of family. It can be family in a traditional sense — or the “family” you make through interactions within your community or the Hereford breed.

There is no denying the buzz and excitement within the beef cattle industry, and, more specifically, the Hereford breed. Why wouldn’t there be excitement? Prices are up, demand for the specific set of genetic improvement possibilities that Herefords bring to the table is constantly increasing and the American Hereford Association (AHA) and its organizations are poised to capitalize on these opportunities.

But, back to my previous point; I was asked several years ago to speak to a group of college students about what our family’s operation had done to contribute to the industry. It didn’t take me long to think of the answer: We have always strived to responsibly raise high-quality Hereford cattle and give back whenever and however we’re able. But nothing we have done can come close to what the Hereford breed has done for our family.

There is no comparison for the relationships built through interactions around Hereford cattle. It’s easy to find a common thread and likeminded passion for the industry and the people in it. If there was ever any doubt about that, it should be swiftly put to bed after watching the iconic dispersal of Churchill Cattle Co. Breeders from 47 states, Canada, Mexico and Australia came together in Manhattan, Mont., for the event. While the reason for us coming together was the sale, the conversation and comradery experienced by those who attended is hard to capture in words.

I would like to thank all the past and present HYFA board members and support staff at the AHA for helping us achieve these monumental goals we continue setting. As HYFA president, it is my personal goal to continue honoring our past by supporting and preserving our future. Looking back at the progress we’ve made, I can’t help but believe that together we are unstoppable, and the best is yet to come.

CHB Bites

by Ernie Davis

Producer Driven CHB Opportunity

“CHB Bites” is a column designed to keep you in-the-know about the Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) program. To get involved with CHB on social media, search Certified Hereford Beef on Facebook and Pinterest, or @certifiedherefordbeef on Instagram.

Every day, ranchers help shape Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) goals and strategy.

Ongoing conversations with Hereford breeders and ranchers underscore their belief in the brand’s potential and their desire to provide support. This includes the generous willingness to share their personal connection and “ride for the brand,” which helps drive consumer demand.

These personal touch points, along with stakeholder and customer feedback, are top-of-mind as the CHB team works to hone a sharper, bolder brand message and its positioning strategy in the competitive marketplace.

For instance, Certified Hereford Beef staff are focusing on cultivating new business opportunities in the retail and foodservice sectors. Part of that effort includes rolling out a new narrative — based on customer feedback — that helps differentiate CHB from its competitors. CHB is creating a compelling brand story, which will serve as the center of sales and promotional offerings, including these recent initiatives:

• New foodservice and retail sales brochures, highlighting CHB’s strong, unified brand story, which can be used by both distributors and processors to promote the product

• Fresh point-of-sale materials, including CHB restaurant table tents, take-home flyers and retail posters featuring CHB producers

• Redesigned sales presentations

• Updated customer-focused website, which is currently in development

CHB is also investing in customer education: hosting ranch tours for customers and distributors, developing key talking points for waitstaff and servers and producing posters highlighting key CHB selling points for display at retail meat specialists and butcher shops.

Up close and personal

Two recent examples illustrate the power of interaction between stakeholders and Certified Hereford Beef staff.

When 30 cattlewomen from across the country gathered at GKB Cattle in Desdemona, Texas, for the National Hereford Women “Gathering,” they enjoyed a CHB burger bar and heard an update about the brand’s positioning, approach and progress, which ended with an exciting exchange of ideas.

Similarly, Hereford enthusiasts attending the Wisconsin tour were privy to an update about CHB’s positioning, approach and progress in building the brand.

Upcoming initiatives

The Certified Hereford Beef staff is setting goals and scheduling events to accelerate the brand’s momentum. One such event includes meeting with CHB partner, National Beef, to align goals, strategies, messages and sales for the coming year and further into the future.

The historic World Hereford Conference in Kansas City, Mo., last month was another opportunity for progress as well as for celebration. The brand convened with customers and partners focusing on customer education,

increasing brand awareness and boosting sales, including:

• New educational and promotional materials and programs

• Connecting ranchers to customers through personal stories and Q&A sessions

• Offering a sneak peek into an exciting, new CHB Grinds Program

• Immersing attendees in the passion for Hereford around the world

Final thoughts

Rancher and producer engagement in the CHB brand will always be essential to its success. The CHB staff encourages AHA members and commercial users of Hereford genetics to follow along and participate in upcoming CHB events. The team will share the new brand resources with ranchers, so they can learn more and get involved. This involvement and shared vision for the brand is what drives the future growth and viability of Certified Hereford Beef.

Hereford Women

by Shelly McQuaig

A Time to Gather

What a time to be a member of the National Hereford Women (NHW). We recently wrapped up our third annual “Gathering” — a women’s leadership retreat that proved to be just what the doctor ordered for so many of us.

This exciting and beneficial event allowed attendees to build meaningful relationships with other industry women while stepping away from the daily grind of ranch life. Set against the stunning backdrop of GKB Cattle’s Hi Point Ranch, this year’s retreat was packed with memorable experiences from start to finish.

Texas tastings and timeless wisdom

The event kicked off with wine tastings featuring selections from popular local winery, J.W. Hardin Wine Co. We savored delicious Texas wines made from grapes grown in the Lone Star State while enjoying fellowship with women from across the industry.

The next morning brought us together bright and early for a sunrise walk down Hi Point Ranch’s scenic driveway, followed by energizing icebreakers designed to help us step out of our shells and connect with one another.

Professional development and delicious food

Over lunch, we were thrilled to welcome Marie Prodell, Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) account executive for retail and food service. She explained how the CHB program works and guided us in building our own “recipes for success.” The session was perfectly complemented by mouthwatering CHB burgers that kept us fueled for the busy afternoon ahead. Our professional development continued with Morgan Davis, of Brands & Blazers, who shared the mission and goals of this exciting, new nonprofit dedicated to setting up the next generation for success in professional roles. Additionally, Tarleton State University’s Bethany Adcock showed us tools to create impactful social media. Her session showcased best practices participants could leverage across different channels.

facility with a panel discussion featuring some true “GOATs” of our industry: Dianne Johnson, Terri Barber and Laura Henson. Moderator Dr. Jean Loni Dudley of Tarleton State University led an engaging conversation. Their main message resonated deeply: be passionate, authentic and intentional. As they reminded us, sometimes you plant seeds that you may never directly benefit from — and that’s perfectly OK.

An event to remember

The day wrapped up with creative cookie decorating, shopping at a pop-up boutique from Punchy’s, a local favorite, and a spectacular dinner featuring CHB tenderloin prepared by GKB’s renowned Chef Monte. The event finale was centered on a faith-based, thoughtprovoking message led by NHW’s Shelly McQuaig. Shelly reminded us that “a thoughtful ‘no,’ is better than a regrettable ‘yes.’”

Looking ahead

Plans for the next Gathering are already taking shape with 2026 on the horizon for our next opportunity to come together, learn and grow as leaders in the Hereford industry.

SELLING SONS OF THESE SIRES

Focus Steady

Retiring AHA president, Chad Breeding, knows how hard current opportunity was to achieve.

by Wes Ishmael

Opportunity rarely shows up like an unexpected gift out of the blue, fully assembled and ready to enjoy.

Instead, the most profound opportunities tend to be forged by hope, commitment, hard work, adversity and reassessment — repeat.

That’s certainly the case for the Hereford breed’s rising acceptance and growing demand from commercial cow-calf producers. Long-time breeders took plenty of lumps along the way but never wavered from their belief in Hereford as an industry solution.

“As Hereford breeders, we need to stay focused and not lose sight of where we’ve been and what got us to where we are,” says Chad Breeding, a lifetime Hereford breeder and retiring president of the American Hereford Association (AHA).

“One of the reasons Hereford demand is growing is because of the breed’s longevity and structural soundness, along with fertility and efficiency. Commercial customers use Hereford bulls and brag about their calves to someone else who starts using them.”

Chad has a knack for understanding the proverbial big picture puzzle and how granular pieces might help or hinder its successful completion. He’s one of those likely to offer a relevant observation yet to be considered by

others. And he’s an open book. He won’t hold back when asked his thoughts or opinion.

Undoubtedly, such frankness has to do with how he was raised. Surely, though, it also stems from where he was raised, growing up and then carving a living on the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle, where drought, wildfires and other uncontrollable forces mean never taking anything for granted.

B&C Cattle Co., just outside of Miami, Texas, has been in the registered Hereford business since 1957. This is where his father, Bill, was born and raised and where he and his wife, Edie, raised Chad and his sister, Christi. The Breeding family continued to build their operation while Bill operated a veterinary practice.

Miami is about 20 miles southwest of Canadian and about 20 miles northeast of Pampa. Chad explains these towns once served as railway stops for steam engines; that’s about as far as a train could go before taking on more water for the boilers. The railroad still plays a major role, at least in terms of noise. More than 100 trains pass Miami every day, travelling between Chicago and Los Angeles.

This is also where Chad and his wife, Erin, are raising their three children: 8-year-old twins, Wyatt and Lillian, and 6-year-old, Blair. Chad

has two other children by a previous marriage, his son, Austin, and his daughter, Blayke. They grew up in the Hereford breed, too. All remain involved, including Austin’s wife, Abby, and the couple’s twins, Benny and Burkyn.

Incidentally, Chad considered veterinary school when he graduated from Texas A&M University, where he was a member of the livestock judging team. That was after going to Clarendon Community College on a judging scholarship. But he decided to go home and get to work on the cow herd instead.

Commercial first

Some folks hear the family’s name or that of the operation and they think of the showring, given the Breeding family’s decades of winning. Bill enjoyed competition and showing cattle. He led out the San Antonio Stock Show champion steer as a junior competitor and built a long list of major wins.

Chad enjoys showing cattle, too. He exhibited his first steer when he was 8. He had the grand champion steer at the Fort Worth Stock Show (FWSS) in 1982 with a home-raised steer, when Hereford popularity was at an ebb. The wins continued throughout his days as a junior competitor and ever since.

However, showring success has never been their aim. It is a byproduct of producing Hereford bulls that can help their commercial cow-calf customers succeed.

When he was younger, Chad explains they would go to national shows that were relatively close to home, shows where they thought they could be competitive. But the purpose was to market their genetics and learn about genetics others had that they might want to incorporate into their herd.

“We never chased a banner. It’s never been about raising a show heifer. As cows, their bull calves still have to turn a dollar and work for our commercial customers,” Chad explains. The Breedings show cattle they believe can take them another step further in this pursuit.

“The bulls I use help us sell more commercial bulls,” Chad emphasizes. “At the same time, we’re trying to get new genetics, and by doing so, we’ve raised some champion bulls … We raise bulls to put into different sales, and every oncein-a-while you get lucky.”

The sales he refers to include the San Antonio All Breed Bull and Commercial Female Sale. B&C Cattle Co. has consigned a long list of sale toppers over the years that bring seedstock-level prices from commercial producers.

B&C’s showring winners also speak to their goal of building genetics demanded by both commercial producers and seedstock breeders.

B&C exhibited the champion pen-of-three bulls at the 2025 Cattlemen’s Congress with flushmate sons of EF MF Longest Yard 19Z 228.

continued on page 26...

One of those bulls, B&C End Zone 3535L ET, was also named reserve grand champion polled bull. Another of their bulls, B&C Stock Option 2300K, a son of B&C Stock Option 6026D ET, earned reserve grand champion horned bull honors at the FWSS a month later.

Today, B&C Cattle Co. is owned and operated by Bill, Chad and Austin and families.

“We’re always trying to improve on EPDs (expected progeny differences), while raising a saleable product the commercial man will want,” Chad says.

He applies the same belief to current, collective breed opportunity.

Just getting started

“As Hereford breeders, we can’t forget our roots and where we came from. We have to sell customers cattle that will make them money, keep them returning and keep them happy, not like in the 1970s and ’80s when they got a bad taste in their mouths,” Chad says.

Growing up in the Hereford breed, Chad knows how long and hard the road has been to current breed opportunity.

There weren’t many commercial cattlemen in his area using Hereford bulls when he was little. Then came industry infatuation with the Continental breeds, especially in the 1970s and early 1980s. By 2000 or so, he explains Certified Angus Beef had cast enough of a hold that commercial herds turned black. Impetus was carcass premiums and also an effort to add uniformity to what had become a mongrelized national cow herd.

“Every time there was a drought or a fire, people around here replaced their colored cattle with black cows,” Chad remembers.

However, he points out years of collective straight breeding in the industry led to lost fertility and production efficiency. Similarly, he says Brahman breeders shifted focus from building bulls for commercial producers to building commercial females because they were in such high demand, underscored by the prices they received.

Both realities opened the door for adding heterosis with Hereford waiting on the other side. The breed’s demand continues to grow.

“I don’t believe Hereford’s potential has really been unlocked yet, like it will be in the next 10 years,” Chad says. “I know our sustainability story. As the nation’s cow herd size continues to diminish and the number of ranches decline, I think we’ll be asked to do more with less — produce more pounds, more

fertility and more calves with fewer resources. Hereford cows and Hereford-sired cows breed back and have more calves.”

If there’s one thing he wishes all commercial producers yet to use Hereford bulls could understand, Chad says it’s the power of heterosis and how much money is left on the table when foregoing it and the breed’s inherent genetic advantages.

On the other side of the scale, Chad points to the significant improvement breeders have made to carcass quality. As he says, no one expects Hereford to be the marbling leader, but they can’t dilute the marbling many producers have bred into their herds.

For cattle feeders, Chad also notes the Hereford-sired advantage in long-day feed efficiency and the reduced risk of late-day mortality due to bovine congestive heart failure.

At the same time, he recognizes the challenge faced by some marketing straightbred Hereford feeder cattle, who face unwarranted discounts because there are too few numbers for buyers to make a load.

“Tell your customers about the growing number of special Hereford-influenced feeder cattle sales available,” Chad says. “Help your bull customers know and understand the marketing opportunities available to them.”

Reflecting on the term

Chad has led many organizations; he has even served as the mayor of Miami since 2009. And while he has never sought any of the positions, Chad has always been willing to serve when asked.

He and fellow freshman Board members began their terms when the AHA was gathering information from across the industry for an intensive strategic planning process, which culminated in the current Strategic Plan. The plan focuses squarely on Hereford’s role and opportunity within the commercial beef cattle industry. This focus is reflected by several key initiatives since then, including the creation of the Baldy Advantage magazine, along with video and print assets highlighting commercial producers’ success with Hereford genetics.

Other strategies that AHA members have watched take root since then include pioneering collaborative research projects.

As an example, ongoing research with Colorado State University and AgNext is evaluating genetic differences for greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen excretion, and their relationship with various performance traits.

Another multi-year project, with the University of Illinois, assesses lifetime production differences between commercial Angus cows bred to Hereford bulls and those bred to Angus.

Even the Hereford Seedstock Academy resulted from the Strategic Plan’s strategy to build a pipeline of future leaders.

“I wish all AHA members could understand how hard the staff works to make the Association better to benefit the members today and to position the Association for where it needs to be 10 years from now,” Chad says.

For instance, he’s proud of how the Association has been able to lower the cost of DNA testing for members, while also gaining more collective autonomy by building its own genomic pipeline and shifting to a new DNA lab.

“To see where we are today, compared to where we were four years ago when I was elected to the Board is mind boggling,” Chad says.

As Hereford breeders, we can’t forget our roots and where we came from. We have to sell customers cattle that will make them money, keep them returning and keep them happy…

The Long Game

Hereford Seedstock Academy builds opportunity and leaders.

by Wes Ishmael

Think about the long game in life, the path chosen. When did you know it was your path, when did you commit to it and how did you know?

Cheryl Mitchell, a leadership training consultant, posed that to the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) third Seedstock Academy class. Then she described how connections serve as a catalyst in the long game as seemingly unrelated elements coalesce over time and in often surprising ways.

A few of the class members knew each other, a couple were even college roommates. Mostly, though, they knew of each other. All might be young in their careers, but they are already

Herefords, Leola, S.D., describing his Academy experience. “I think it is really good that while taking those great strides and with genetics continuing to improve, we’re still holding onto the tradition of what Hereford cattle stand for, and that’s supporting the commercial producers who are ultimately our customers.”

The Hereford Seedstock Academy is an intensive four-day learning experience carefully designed to provide participants with insights from leaders within all segments of the cattle industry. The opportunity also offers participants an insider view of AHA programs. This year’s class began at the Association’s headquarters in Kansas City, Mo., and then made stops in

Getting an inside view from all of these leaders within our breed Association really drives a lot of hope for someone like me, who is just starting out and trying to promote the breed … It is just so fun to see the potential.

challenged the class to consider what they know about current and prospective customers and how to market their benefits to them.

“He makes you think about it without you even realizing that you’re thinking about it,” says Kacie Kursave, Hoffman Ranch, Thedford, Neb.

“He really dove deep into marketing, and that’s the main reason I came here.”

It wasn’t just Kursave that left the Academy with new insights on engaging customers and marketing Hereford genetics, though. “What are

— Ivan Blume, Blume Ranch

every piece of information you can about that person to help you understand what the producer needs to do and what your customer wants.”

Embracing opportunity

Speaking of customers, plenty of conversations before and during the Academy centered around Hereford’s role in the commercial cattle industry, its opportunities and the growing demand for Hereford bulls.

“We are in the driver’s seat to make a very impactful difference in our industry,” says Denise Loyning of L Bar W Cattle Co., Absarokee, Mont. “The maternal side is what I think is going to drive this … If there’s going to be any type of movement in the (national) cow herd it has to come from the maternal side, and I think that’s where we, as a breed, are extremely good.”

More specifically, Blume notes the growing demand for Hereford-sired replacement females.

“I think it’s the best of both worlds,” he says. “I mean, you can produce a female that’s highly fertile, and then you also don’t give up any carcass traits within that steer calf or that F1 baldy female that is kept as a replacement. You don’t give up anything there on a maternal or carcass side. It’s just nothing compares to the old black baldy, and I’m a Hereford guy.”

Research and data drive improvement Academy members discovered more about AHA programs and research that validate these breed advantages. A stop at Olsen Ranches, Harrisburg, Neb. — the mainstay lynchpin of Hereford’s National Reference Sire Program — was a highlight for all, as they could see how various

“I was really excited to go to Olsens to see some of the research that we’re doing as a breed to actually prove our progress. I mean, we can tell our commercial customers and other producers that we’ve made progress, but this is actual hard data that we can show them and show our success and our hard work,” says Peter Rausch of Rausch Herefords, Hoven, S.D.

“A lot of times, you read Shane Bedwell’s article in the Herford World about some new research that’s going on, or whatever it might be, but really connecting those dots and getting to

know a little bit more of the how and why behind some of the initiatives and where the Association is headed, that’s been a really intriguing part for me,” Cole says.

Besides capturing data and doing the necessary research, Chance Wiese of Wiese and Sons, Manning, Iowa, says, “One of the things I took away from this week is how do we get that information out and tell that story, not only as an operation but from a breed standpoint, to show Hereford cattle are more efficient, that they are going to add more pounds and how that will benefit our customers in the very end? I think we can all do a better job of doing it, and it’s not just our obligation to do it for our own farm or ranch, but it’s our obligation, as good breeders, to do it for the breed and the Association, as well.”

Connections provide power

Think back to the initial challenge posed to participants when this year’s Seedstock Academy began — understanding connections as a catalyst to the long game. There is no question this year’s class took it to heart.

“Who you meet today, you never know how you’re going to interact with them in five years, 10 years, maybe 20 years from today,” Cole says. “I think the networking experience has been second to none, and the speakers that were brought in throughout the whole week. It’s just been really good to network and to learn from them. Every session, every step, we’ve been able to take something of value out of it.”

For that matter, Loyning explains one of her key takeaways revolved around spending time at the AHA headquarters and interacting with staff.

“I’ve learned they are so committed to the breed, which you always want to assume, as that’s our headquarters and the people we go to when we have problems,” she says. “But going to the office and visiting with a lot of the staff, it is true that you come home to Hereford. You see how committed they are to us as seedstock producers and to our customers in the commercial sector. The staff is truly committed. The Association is committed, and it is refreshing.”

Similarly, Kursave says, “The Hereford Association is honestly one big family. I didn’t grow up in the Hereford industry, I grew up in the commercial cattle business, so I’m very new to this whole business. I was so thankful for everybody taking me in under their wing, treating me like family.”

Of course, much of the week’s education came from Academy students sharing insights with each other, ranging from production practices to experience with AHA programs.

For instance, Darrin Reed of Reed Polled Herefords at Clifton, Kan., visited about how his operation utilizes the Hereford Feedout Program.

“It’s really helped us select bulls for our operation and getting that data back has been invaluable because we’re able to take that data and figure out what we need in our program,” Reed explains. “Getting the data back every year moves us forward, and it shows us what we’re good at, what we’re maybe lacking and what we need to improve on.”

I think the moral of this week’s story is how do we effectively get our message to cattle producers who maybe don’t have a good understanding of what Hereford genetics have to offer?

— Chance Wiese, Wiese and Sons

Intentional leadership development

“These young adults that are in the Seedstock Academy are invested in their family’s ranches. They’re the future of this breed. They’re making breeding decisions now. They’re going to help progress this breed into the future,” says Chad Breeding, retiring AHA president, who attended a portion of the Academy.

Breeding explains the Hereford Seedstock Academy is a key tactic for developing AHA leadership, which is a core strategy of its Strategic Plan.

“I think it’s very important because we’re the only breed that does this,” Breeding says. “There are members of this class and previous classes that will be AHA Board members five, 10, 12 years down the road. Giving them the knowledge and the head start of what we’re trying to do, I think is just key to a whole lot of things.”

The Hereford Seedstock Academy assembled to share and learn. The Hereford breed benefited.

“What’s encouraging for me is to be alongside a lot of the young Hereford breeders. It tells me, not only just in the Hereford breed, but in the commercial cattle industry as well, there are young individuals eager to get in back into this business,” Wiese says.

“Just learning from the experience of the leadership in this industry and then also the enthusiasm and ideas from these young breeders,” Reed says. “It just makes me feel good to know the breed is good hands with these young breeders.”

RISE UP

Market share always matters in business. It matters even more when faced with fewer potential customers.

U.S. Hereford breeders continue to market more bulls for higher average prices year over year, even as the number of commercial cow-calf producers declines with the fewest beef cow numbers in decades. Toward the end of Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25), American Hereford Association (AHA) field staff had reported 5,531 bulls selling at auction for an average price of $8,621. That was $1,300 more than the previous year’s average price on more bulls sold at the time.

Growing commercial demand for Hereford genetics is due to many reasons. Chiefly, I believe it is due to Hereford breeders’ commitment to listening to their customers, maintaining the breed’s inherent genetic strengths and making genetic improvements where needed.

Breeders are embracing the opportunity afforded by more commercial producers searching for ways to increase production efficiency and predictability while reducing risk. A growing number of commercial producers are adding heterosis to their herds and view Hereford as the essential crossbreeding component.

As for the AHA’s role in providing breed improvement tools and market opportunity, I believe increasing Hereford demand stems from the foresight of current and past leaders who navigated a path to the current course.

The AHA continued to make remarkable strides in FY25 toward fulfilling the vision defined by its 2022-2027 long-range Strategic Plan. It did so while increasing operational efficiency and maintaining a high level of cost efficiency and fiscal strength.

Commercial interest in Hereford genetics is on the rise, along with the breed’s visibility across the beef cattle industry, thanks to AHA members’ collective efforts over time.

Regards,

Jack Ward Executive Vice President American Hereford Association

INTENTIONAL progress

On time and on target aptly describe the American Hereford Association’s (AHA) steps taken in Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) to accomplish the specific goals of its strategic plan, guided by the crystalline vision: Establish Hereford genetics as the essential component of the U.S. beef cowherd.

COMMERCIAL CONNECTIONS

AHA continued increasing Hereford visibility in the commercial sector through a variety of efforts, driven by the enthusiastic participation of breeders, commercial users of Hereford genetics and allied partners. Examples of the Association’s initiatives created to further bolster Hereford’s influence in the commercial cattle industry include:

• Elevated communication with feedlots through a direct-mail campaign, which emphasized the breed’s extraordinary progress in carcass quality, as well as its advantage in maintaining feed efficiency across longer cattle feeding periods.

• Increased participation in Hereford Feedout Programs and the National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) Fed Steer Shootout with 129 participants from 27 states enrolling 1,309 head. Part of the growth came from a new opportunity that allowed adult AHA members to provide steers for NJHA members to enter in the program who wanted to participate but didn’t have their own eligible feeder cattle. More than 100 young people from coast to coast attended the educational Fed Steer Shootout Field Day in April.

Thanks to the ongoing, generous efforts of HRC Feed Yards LLC, Scott City, Kan., both Hereford Feedout Programs strengthen the breed’s connection to the cattle feeding and beef packing sectors, while broadening breeder insights about the merits of their genetics.

• Helped broaden the reach of Hereford-influenced calf, feeder cattle and replacement female sales. There were 34 Hereford-influenced special sales in 13 states featuring 25,861 head. Additionally, 84 Hereford breeders from 26 states sold 6,223 Hereford-influenced commercial replacement females in their production sales.

• Highlighted video auction demand for Hereford-influenced cattle. Across seven summer video sales between June and August, Hereford-influenced cattle comprised the topselling lots by weight class and delivery period.

• Recognized progressive commercial cow-calf producers who utilize Hereford genetics in strategic, complementary crossbreeding systems. This included feature stories in Baldy Advantage, compelling videos providing producer

testimony on the value of Hereford-fueled heterosis and naming Groendyke Ranch, Nash, Okla., the AHA Commercial Producer of the Year.

• Expanded potential to qualify more cattle for Hereford beef programs by developing an affidavit system to verify Hereford influence in fed cattle unable to meet the brand’s live visual specification.

CHB VALUE FOCUS

Certified Hereford Beef® celebrated its 30th anniversary in FY25, gaining momentum, even amid historically high consumer beef prices. Throughout FY25 the brand hit strategic guideposts to continue to drive consumer demand into the coming year, such as:

• Strengthened customer relationships and consumer loyalty through CHB staff’s innovative efforts, which emphasized the brand’s consistent value, taste and compelling story anchored by local Hereford producers and ranchers.

• Offered in-person visits, ranch tours, effective training sessions and engaging, market-specific social media campaigns that generated strong sales momentum, including an expected 5% volume increase.

• Strategically managed CHB’s product mix with a clear focus on high-demand, high-margin cuts, such as middle meats and grinds, to improve carcass utilization and profitability.

• Aligned the program and brand offering with customer preferences to further boost sales efficiency and tonnage.

• Unveiled new, innovative retail and foodservice training materials, videos and promotional tools to expand CHB’s reach and recognition.

• Developed a new website and marketing platform that aligned with the brand’s updated messaging and visual identity.

• Recognized the dedicated efforts of key CHB partners. Rancho Markets was named CHB Retailer of the Year.

U.S. Foods-Atlanta received the CHB Foodservice Distributor of the Year award. Miller’s Markets earned the Rising Star Retailer of the Year award.

IMPROVED DNA COST AND CONFIDENCE

The AHA Board’s FY25 designation of Weatherbys Scientific as the Association’s DNA lab secured both short-term and long-term benefits for members.

The more favorable DNA testing cost is apparent, but additional price reductions were made possible over the previous year through the adoption of the age-based pricing structure, which rewards breeders for submitting an animal’s DNA earlier in its life. In fact, today’s AHA member price of utilizing a 100K density genotype chip — considered the gold standard for genotype panels — is 70% less than it was in 2012.

Less apparent is the culmination of a year’s long process of developing a genomic pipeline, which enabled AHA to make the transition. Rather than needing a DNA service provider to run the tests and interpret the resulting data, as in the past, this new pipeline means the AHA needs a DNA lab to run the tests, but the Association can now interpret the raw data itself. While this might seem like a subtle difference,

it gives AHA members independence and autonomy, rather than relying on DNA service providers.

Keep in mind, DNA transitioned from a parentage tool to a necessary breed improvement tool. Its evolution meant moving beyond the assumption that every progeny inherited the same genetic makeup from the same parents. Breeders have moved away from testing only top-end bull prospects to testing entire calf crops; this is where the true value of genomics have merit.

By embracing the most advanced technology to aid genetic evaluation and selection, AHA members continue making significant genetic improvement. Consider maternal traits as one example. Over the last decade, the genetic trend increased 27% for Sustained Cow Fertility (SCF), 15% for TEAT and UDDR and 23% for the Baldy Maternal Index (BMI). During the same time, the genetic trend for the Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) increased by 16%.

PRACTICAL AND PIONEERING RESEARCH

AHA members have always prized objective, collaborative research as requisite guideposts for breed improvement.

In FY25, the Association continued to document and validate Hereford’s inherent genetic advantages through pioneering, multi-year collaborative research projects. These projects strategically build upon previous research, and they’re grounded in the unmatched power of the AHA’s National Reference Sire Program.

For instance, research with the University of Illinois tracks the value of maternal heterosis across generations in Hereford-sired black baldy females, compared to commercial Angus females. It is an industry-first comprehensive quantification and analysis that holds great promise for Hereford breeders and their commercial customers.

Likewise, research with Colorado State University and AgNext, a U.S. beef breed first, explores genetic differences for greenhouse gas emissions, its association with production efficiency and potential selection tools.

Results of this research serve as cornerstones to the Educational Forum held in conjunction with the World Hereford Conference (see Highlighting Global Hereford Impact).

DEVELOPING AGRICULTURAL LEADERS

Participation in NJHA events and activities continued to grow in 2025, supported mightily by the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA). Backed by stalwart industry partners and Hereford breeders from around the country, the NJHA continued toward its goal to build a pipeline of future agricultural leaders by providing unparallelled opportunities for young people, such as:

• HYFA provided $230,000 to support Hereford youth, thanks in part to generous industry supporters and endowments. The Foundation has awarded more than $2.25 million in scholarships since its inception.

• Hereford juniors once again had access to top-tier leadership development opportunities. The Faces of Leadership conference in Missouri hosted 84 NJHA members from 21 states. Twenty college-aged NJHA

members from across the nation were selected to attend the elite Building on Leadership Development (BOLD) conference at GKB Cattle in Desdemona, Texas.

• The NJHA extended these opportunities with inaugural Meet-Ups Powered by Sure Champ® held during junior events across the country.

• The 2025 VitaFerm® Junior National Hereford Expo (JNHE) in Louisville, Ky., included more than 700 exhibitors from 41 states and Canada, which exhibited 1,215 Hereford steers, bred-and-owned females, bred-andowned bulls, cow-calf pairs and owned females. Nearly 600 young exhibitors competed in four showmanship divisions to highlight their stockmanship.

• The AHA hosted the third annual Hereford Seedstock Academy. Eight young breeders from six states were chosen to attend the intensive, four-day learning experience carefully designed to provide participants with insights to all industry sectors from thought leaders and industry influencers. Participants started at the AHA headquarters in Kansas City, Mo., and then made stops in Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming.

The Hereford Seedstock Academy also serves as a key tactic for developing future leaders within the Association, which is a core strategy of the AHA Strategic Plan.

SUPERCHARGING INTEREST AND ENTHUSIASM

National Hereford shows and sales provided a public showcase for the breed’s genetics. Excitement generated by the cattle shown and sold at FY25 events was unmatched as viewers saw the epitome of phenotype melded with the type of performance commercial producers seek. For instance, some of the champion and reserve champion females at the 2025 JNHE ranked in the top 30% of the breed or higher for more than 10 performance traits. In addition to these top-performing champions, Hereford highlights in the show and sale ring during FY25, include:

• Hereford Night in OKC — the National Hereford Sale — averaged $19,878 on 27.50 lots ($546,650). Herefords in the Yards at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) averaged $19,302 on 43 lots ($830,000). Hereford Eve in OKC grossed $388,250 on semen, embryos and flushes.

• Hereford influence also rose to the top with F1 black and red baldies dominating prices in the Best of the Best Maternal Merit Sale held during the NWSS.

• Hereford breeders exhibited 506 head at the 2025 Cattlemen’s Congress and 365 head at the NWSS — two of the largest national Hereford shows.

TELLING HEREFORD’S STORY

AHA communications staff continued to share the breed’s success and commercial opportunities in both print publications and through compelling digital media, such as videos, social campaigns and podcasts. New print and digital assets were also shared with AHA members through the Association’s online media library. Additionally, Hereford’s story resonated with cattlemen and women from around the country due in part to these efforts from AHA staff, such as:

• AHA social media followers grew by 3,100 to almost 76,000 followers, and the Association’s website views

totaled nearly 500,000.

• The 38th episode of the Association’s popular podcast, 1881 aired. More than 46,000 listeners have downloaded the podcast.

• Hereford World continued serving its loyal readership as a reliable voice and connecting point with coverage of the people, news, genetics and events shaping the breed. Baldy Advantage earned industry accolades as it expanded the breed’s commercial presence with relevant analysis, management information and profiles of producers using Hereford genetics to improve and sustain their operations.

• Hereford Publications Inc. (HPI) helped individual Hereford operations tell their stories and promote their genetics through a variety of marketing materials and expertise offered by its creative services department. Six AHA field representatives and the director of seedstock marketing connect AHA members with the HPI team and brand building opportunities. These opportunities range from advertising design and sale book creation to designing and executing geo-targeted digital campaigns.

• HPI also developed a new strategic plan aimed at creating added value for clients.

HIGHLIGHTING GLOBAL HEREFORD IMPACT

AHA, its members and staff devoted much time and expertise in preparation for hosting the World Hereford Conference (WHC) in October of Fiscal Year 2026. These efforts extend back several years but were prioritized in the months leading up to the event. The Oct. 22-26, 2025, event in Kansas City, Mo. — held in conjunction with the AHA Annual Membership Meeting — was designed to showcase AHA members and genetics, while providing a rare opportunity to exchange ideas across continents.

The WHC takes place every four years when delegates of the World Hereford Council meet to conduct official business aimed at breed improvement and opportunity development. The first conference was held in Herefordshire, England, in 1951. The United States first hosted the conference in 1960, in Kansas City, Mo. The U.S. also hosted the 12th annual conference in Fort Collins, Colo., in 1996.

In addition to the WHC itself, tours before and after the event showcased 18 Hereford operations in five states, their genetics and cutting-edge production technology.

The Young Breeders Competition took place in conjunction with the WHC. Teams, comprised by four members from the ages of 18-26, compete in real-world competitions related to day-to-day beef cattle production along with Hereford seedstock production and marketing. Eleven teams from seven countries were expecting to compete. This includes two teams from the U.S., which received travel scholarships from HYFA, through the OXO World Traveler Scholarship Fund and the Cottonwood Springs Farm Global Education and Leadership Endowment.

AMERICAN HEREFORD ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors, American Hereford Association, Kansas City, Missouri

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of American Hereford Association; Hereford Publications, Inc.; Certified Hereford Beef, LLC; American Beef Records Association; and Hereford Legacy Fund, LLC (collectively, the Association), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of August 31, 2025 and 2024; the related consolidated statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended; and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Association as of August 31, 2025 and 2024,and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audits of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Association and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Association’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audits of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not absolute assurance, and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Association’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Association’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audits.

Supplementary Information

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The supplementary schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the consolidated financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from, and relates directly to, the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 — NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Hereford Association (AHA) and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Hereford Publications, Inc. (HPI); Certified Hereford Beef, LLC (CHB); American Beef Records Association (ABRA); and Hereford Legacy Fund, LLC (HLF). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Collectively, the consolidation is hereafter referred to as the Association.

Nature of Organization and Operations AHA is a not-for-profit association that conducts research and experiments in the breeding of Hereford cattle; compiles and preserves pedigree records for owners and breeders; participates in and promotes the arrangement of fairs, exhibitions, and cattle shows to encourage the breeding of Hereford cattle; and assists with the promotion of the end product produced from Hereford cattle on behalf of CHB.

Members and subscribers of AHA are primarily owners and breeders of Hereford cattle. The members and subscribers are located world-wide; however, the largest concentration is within the United States.

HPI is a for-profit corporation that provides publication services to Hereford cattle ranches and publishes a magazine periodically.

CHB is a not-for-profit association whose sole member is AHA. CHB strives to increase demand for Hereford cattle by promoting Hereford beef as a premium beef

product under the Certified Hereford Beef® trademark. CHB was formed as a limited liability company on September 27, 2000. Prior to that date, CHB’s activities were performed and accounted for within the Association. The duration of CHB is perpetual.

ABRA is a not-for-profit association that is wholly owned by AHA. ABRA provides computer consultation in herd planning and management, breeding services, and marketing for commercial livestock of various breeds. ABRA ceased operations on November 11, 2022, and the entity dissolved on August 31, 2024.

HLF is a not-for-profit association whose sole member is AHA. HLF holds the proceeds from the sale of AHA’s building in 2018 and makes distributions to the parent for a portion of its investment income to pay for the rent of the consolidated Association. HLF was formed as a limited liability company on April 12, 2018. The duration of HLF is perpetual.

A majority of the Association’s business activities are with customers in the cattle industry. Therefore, a substantial portion of its customers’ ability to honor their commitments is dependent upon the cattle economic sector.

Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation The Association classifies its information regarding net assets and revenues, expenses, gains, and losses based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets of the Association and changes therein are classified and reported as follows:

Net Assets Without Donor Restrictions: Net assets in this category are not subject to donor-imposed restrictions and may be expended for any purpose in performing the primary objectives of the Association. These net assets may be used at the discretion of the Association’s management and the Board of Directors.

Net Assets With Donor Restrictions: Net assets in this category are subject to stipulations imposed by donors. Some donor restrictions are temporary in nature; those restrictions will be met by actions of the Association or by the passage of time. Other donor restrictions are perpetual in nature, whereby the donor has stipulated the funds be maintained in perpetuity.

Donor-restricted contributions are reported as increases in net assets with donor restrictions. When a restriction expires, net assets are reclassified from net assets with donor restrictions to net assets without donor restrictions in the consolidated statements of activities. The Association has no net assets with donor restrictions.

Measure of Operations

The consolidated statements of activities report all changes in net assets, including changes in net assets from operating and nonoperating activities. Operating activities consist of those items attributable to the Association’s ongoing animal services and interest and dividends earned on investments. Nonoperating activities are limited to resources that generate return from investments and other activities considered to be of a more unusual or nonrecurring nature.

Basis of Accounting The accrual method of accounting is used, which recognizes income in the period earned and expenses in the period incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Association considers all money market investments and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investments amounting to $740,455 and $374,344 were considered to be cash equivalents at August 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Association maintains cash on deposit in various financial institutions. Due to the nature of the Association’s cash flow, amounts on deposit in individual banks may temporarily exceed the applicable coverage of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation throughout the year.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Association expects to collect. The Association maintains allowances for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of

its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with customer, current economic industry trends, forecast of future events, and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances of 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Association’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Association provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. The Association’s receivables are considered past due based upon contractual terms and are automatically charged off after three years. HPI’s policy states that accounts with outstanding balances beyond 60 days will accrue interest at 1.5% per month; balances beyond 90 days will no longer be provided with services; and balances beyond 120 days may be turned over to a collection agency. Management believes the compiled historical-loss information is a reasonable base on which to determine expected credit losses for trade receivables held at August 31, 2025 and 2024, because the composition of the trade receivables at that date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages (i.e., the similar risk characteristics of its customers and its lending practices have not changed significantly over time). Management has determined that the current, reasonable, and supportable forecasted economic conditions are similar to the economic conditions included in the historical information.

Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on the first-in, first-out method.

Investments The Association’s investment portfolio is subject to the investment policy set forth by the Board of Directors. Investments are comprised of debt and equity securities and are carried at fair value. The fair value of investments is based on quoted fair prices for those investments or similar investments at August 31, 2025 and 2024. Gains or losses on sales of investments are determined on a specific-cost identification method. Unrealized gains and losses are determined based on yearend market values and are reported on the consolidated statements of activities as increases or decreases in net assets.

Fair Value Measurement Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) define a fair value as the price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The Association determines the fair value of investments using three broad levels of input as defined by related accounting standards.

Level 1: Observable inputs - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2: Observable inputs - other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs - include amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used during the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024.

Equity Securities: Equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Fixed-Income Securities: Corporate, government, agency, and municipal bonds and fixed- income securities are generally valued by a computerized pricing service or, for less actively traded issues, by utilizing a yield-based matrix system to arrive at an estimated market value.

Mutual Funds: Each investor in the mutual fund will typically receive units of participation in the mutual fund. These units are valued daily, based on the underlying securities owned by the mutual fund, which are usually publicly traded debt or equity securities.

Revenue Recognition Revenues from member dues, advertising and subscription, and hosting database services are recognized over the term of the contract. The contracts are generally for a term of one to three years. Advertising and subscription revenue is deferred and included in prepayments for advertising and subscription on the consolidated statements of financial position. Revenue is deferred at the time of sale to the customer and is recognized monthly, as outlined in the contract. At the end of the subscription period, the remaining balance is recognized as revenue, and reported as advertising and subscription revenue on the consolidated statements of activities. The balances of the prepayments for advertising and subscription revenues were $133,339 and $138,844 for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Publication and advertising, genetic services, creative services, retail, and marketing services are recognized when the service is provided.

A five-step model is used to determine the amount and timing of revenue recognized. The Association’s additional disclosures are included in note 12. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight- line method over the estimated useful life of each asset. The estimated useful lives of assets range from 3 to 30 years for consolidated financial statement purposes. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of activities for the period. The Association capitalizes all assets, major replacements, and betterments with a useful life greater than one year and cost in excess of $1,000. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.

Long-lived assets to be held and used in the course of business are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be disposed of by sales are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.

Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets and Liabilities The Association obtains the right to control the use of various assets under long-term agreements. The Association evaluates contracts to determine whether they include lease and nonlease components. The Association has elected to exclude any variable payments for nonlease components, such as maintenance and insurance, from lease expense. Leases

are recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position as operating lease right-of- use (ROU) assets with a corresponding lease liability.

Compensated Absences Employees are entitled to one week of paid time off each year. Unused paid time off cannot be carried over from one year to the next and is not paid out upon termination. Accordingly, no liability for accrued paid time off has been recorded. The Association’s policy is to recognize the costs of compensated absences when actually used by employees.

Functional Expenses The costs of providing program and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis on the consolidated statements of activities. The presentation of expenses by function and nature is included on the consolidated statements of functional expenses. The Association charges direct expenses incurred for a specific function directly to the program or supporting service category. These costs can be specifically identified as being incurred for the activities of that program or supporting service. Other costs that are incurred by the Association that benefit more than one program or supporting service are allocated on a reasonable basis that is consistently applied. Payroll and related costs are allocated based on estimates of time and effort; other costs, including depreciation, certain occupancy and office costs, and consulting, are allocated based on estimates of usage or benefit received by each function. The Association reevaluates its allocation method each year to determine if there are adjustments that are necessary to the allocation method based on actual activities conducted during the year.

Advertising Costs Advertising costs are charged to expense when incurred. The amounts expensed during the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, were $310,088 and $202,567, respectively.

Income Taxes AHA, ABRA, CHB, and HLF are exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been made on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. However, AHA, ABRA, CHB, and HLF are subject to income taxes on any net income from unrelated business activities. AHA, ABRA, CHB, and HLF have been classified by the Internal Revenue Service as organizations that are not private foundations under Section 509(a)(2).

HPI is a taxable entity, and is therefore subject to federal and state income taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards; deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. HPI includes interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities, if any, in income tax expense. Income tax credits are accounted for by the flow-through method, which recognizes the credits as reductions of income tax expense in the year utilized.

Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Evaluation of Subsequent Events The Association has evaluated subsequent events through October 8, 2025, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

2 — AVAILABILITY AND LIQUIDITY

The Association is substantially supported by the services it provides its members. Revenue from services provided can be affected by the number of registered cattle and current economic conditions. The following represents the Association’s financial assets:

The Association has $21,159,578 available for general expenditures. This would cover approximately two years of expenses, even without the income it has budgeted.

3 — ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - NET

Accounts receivable consisted of the following:

The accounts receivable, net of the allowance for credit losses of $3,970 was $629,975 at August 31, 2023.

4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Association’s assets at fair value:

The Association applied for forgiveness of the PPP loan on November 30, 2020, with respect to these covered expenses, but was not granted forgiveness by the SBA. On November 11, 2021, the Association renewed the PPP loan with UMB Bank for the principal amount of $535,600. The note was paid in full on April 21, 2025, and had a fixed rate of 1% per annum.

Interest expense on long-term debt was $429 and $1,987 for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

8 — LINE OF CREDIT

The Association has an unsecured line of credit with UMB Bank, which provided a maximum available amount of $250,000 at August 31, 2025. The balance on the line of credit at August 31, 2025, was $-0-. The line of credit matures on November 30, 2025, and has a variable interest rate of 7.75% at August 31, 2025. Interest expense during the year ended August 31, 2025, was $-0-.

5 — PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consisted of the following:

6 — LEASE OBLIGATIONS

The Association leases a copier from an unrelated third party under an operating lease. The lease requires monthly lease payments of $306, with a termination or renewal date in December 2028.

The Association leases a postage machine from an unrelated third party under an operating lease. The lease requires monthly lease payments of $491, with a termination or renewal date in November 2028.

The Association leases an office building from an unrelated third party under an operating lease. The lease requires monthly lease payments that increase each March, according to a set payment schedule based on a price per square footage rented.

The monthly lease payments through August 31, 2025 and 2024, were $22,946 and $22,638, respectively, with a termination or renewal date in March 2028. Generally, the Association has elected to exclude any variable payments for nonlease components, such as maintenance and insurance, from lease expense. The operating lease does not specify an implicit interest rate. Therefore, the incremental borrowing rate was used, based on information available at the commencement date, to determine the present value of future payments when capitalizing the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.

The Association’s lease expense was as follows:

Amounts paid through cash were $283,064 and $295,191 respectively, for the years ended August 31,2025 and 2024.

The aggregate minimum annual lease payments under operating lease arrangements and discount factors used in calculating minimum lease payments on ROU assets are as follows:

7

— LONG-TERM DEBT

On April 21, 2020, the Association received a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a program implemented by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) under the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act) for an aggregate principal amount of $535,600. The PPP loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 1% per annum, with the first 10 months of interest deferred, and has a term of five years.

The Association had an unsecured line of credit with UMB Bank which provided a maximum available amount of $250,000 at August 31, 2024. The balance on the line of credit at August 31, 2024, was $-0-. The line of credit matured on November 30, 2024, and had a variable interest rate of 8.50% at August 31, 2024. Interest expense during the year ended August 31, 2024, was $-0-.

9 — INCOME TAXES

The provisions for income taxes consisted of the following components:

Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of HPI’s assets and liabilities.

The tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying statutory rates to income before income taxes because of the valuation allowance applied against the deferred income tax assets. The components of the deferred tax assets were as follows:

10 — COLLECTION OF ARTWORK

The Association has a collection of artwork, appraised at approximately $639,200 at August 31, 2025 and 2024, that is on public display at the Association’s headquarters. The most recent appraisal is as of April 2015 for new pieces added in 2015, and as of August 2011 for the rest of the collection. The Association has adopted a policy of not capitalizing the collection of artwork on its consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no collection items are recognized as assets, whether they are purchased or received as a donation. Purchases of collection items are charged to expenses in the period when purchased. Proceeds from the sale of collection items are used to purchase new collection items. The Association plans to hold the collection items indefinitely.

There were no pieces added to the collection or disposed of during the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Association insures the collections with a policy that has a face value consistent with the appraised values.

11 — RETIREMENT PLAN

The Association provides eligible employees with a 401(k) qualified retirement plan. The Association also established a profit sharing plan for all eligible employees. The plan provides for employer and employee contributions based upon a percentage of annual compensation. Employer contributions for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, were $108,914 and $102,430, respectively.

12 — REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Association’s major revenues are all within the United States of America and recognized as follows:

Membership Services: Membership services include registrations, dues, and service fees that fund research, advertising, and software development, as well as discounts for subscriptions and genetic services for the current fiscal year. Revenues are recognized over the term of the contract.

Regenerative RANCHING Who Will Take Over the Ranch?

Regenerative RANCHING Regenerative RANCHING

| by Katie Miller

Planning for your ranch’s succession ensures the legacy you want to leave for your land.

As Benjamin Franklin famously said, “Nothing is certain except death and taxes.” And most ranchers don’t like to discuss either. But having a ranch succession plan in place can ensure the future of your land and legacy when you’re no longer at the helm.

While estate planning ensures your assets are passed on to the desired recipients, succession planning is the road map to transitioning a business to the next generation, according to Dan Childs, agricultural economist and retired Noble Research Institute senior regenerative ranching advisor.

And as Jason Bradley, agricultural economics consultant for Noble, notes, succession planning is especially vital to the legacy regenerative ranchers hope to leave.

“I think of the story of the old man who plants trees knowing he will never sit in the shade of those trees,” Bradley says. “Ranchers want to better the land so they can pass on something that they helped rebuild and rejuvenate.”

When it comes to ranch succession planning, often the biggest mistake people make is waiting until it is too late. So, Childs and Bradley offer seven things to consider now as you delve into succession planning to help cement your legacy.

Be willing to think about your legacy Childs sees more ranchers procrastinate when it comes to thinking about their legacy and

succession plans than with any other task. Yet, it is an essential exercise for ranch owners.

“What is the legacy ranchers want to leave behind?” asks Childs. “Decisions made and correctly documented will minimize and hopefully eliminate any potential conflict by the heirs. Generally, it is the desire to bless the heirs rather than burden them.”

Without such plans, Childs has seen families and ranches splintered. And the first step to creating a plan is to ponder what you want your ranch’s legacy to be. While Bradley and Childs wish they could provide more concrete answers, succession planning is hardly a one-size-fits-all process; it is an individual exercise. Your ranch’s future hinges on your vision for it and your ability to plan.

Have tough conversations

Once you’ve outlined your vision for your ranch’s future, it is time to have some hard conversations. As Bradley notes, ranchers are notoriously private, yet communication is key during succession planning. Topics like personal finances need to be on the table — but not the family table.

“The dining room table isn’t the best place to have these meetings,” Bradley says.

Childs adds that these aren’t conversations to have over the holidays, either. Succession-planning conversations are best held in a neutral location, often off-site, with a team of succession-planning

professionals there to moderate (see Assemble a knowledgeable team).

“When you get started, you’re going to have some hard conversations,” Bradley says. “It’s not an easy conversation to have; having someone there who is experienced can help navigate these types of conversations.”

Conversations such as equal versus equitable shares of the family business can be challenging to have with on-farm and off-farm heirs. Yet, they’re invaluable to the future of the ranch. And topics as straightforward as “Who is next in line?” should not be overlooked.

“You have to have a conversation about it,” Childs says. “Who is interested? Who wants to do it?”

Identify the successor

Identifying a successor is one of the first steps of ranch succession planning, Childs says. Often, ranchers hope to pass the business on to a family member, but that is not always the best solution or even possible. If no heirs are interested in the ranch, then succession might mean transferring the ranching business to a young person down the road with a similar ranch management mindset.

“It doesn’t necessarily have to be a family member,” Childs says.

Once the successor is identified, Bradley reminds ranchers to have a formal transition plan in place to help the chosen successor learn the business and gradually take over ownership

and responsibility, rather than suddenly being handed the reins of a ranch they don’t know how to manage.

Bradley saw a great example of one such plan on a trip abroad. There, a farmer and his son had a clear succession timeline. Although the son had always worked on the family’s operation, the succession plan clearly outlined a timeline during which his interest in and decision-making on the farm increased. As the son gained more responsibility and began to manage different parts of the farm, he gained a greater understanding of the business. The succession plan culminated in a retirement party for the father, which symbolized the son’s official ownership of his new role and a successful transition of power to the farm’s employees.

Delve into your business’s profitability

Nearly as important as identifying the successor is ensuring that the business can financially support the next generation. Ranch owners must be transparent with their heirs regarding the business’s profitability and liabilities before the transition.

“In this profitability exercise, determine the size of the estate tax

obligations on the estate,” Childs says. “If we are surprised by a sizable estate tax obligation, that could jeopardize the financial success of the operation.”

Since most agricultural businesses have more assets than cash, they can be more vulnerable to estate tax obligations.

Assemble a knowledgeable team

Agricultural succession professionals can help business owners facilitate hard conversations and assist in understanding laws, tax obligations and financial concerns. Such a team may include accountants, bank officials, attorneys and management consultants.

But, as Childs reminds us, ensure your team is competent in agricultural business, as farms and ranches often have unique circumstances.

Revisit your plans

Creating a ranch succession plan doesn’t mean you’re finished. Childs recommends revisiting the plan after tax and estate law changes or when the owners, heirs or successors experience life events, such as:

• Births

• Deaths

• Marriages

• Health events

• Acquisition of new property

• Sale of significant ranch assets

Beyond this, Bradley suggests revisiting the plan every three years, even if there are no life events.

Start today

Ultimately, Childs and Bradley emphasize that there is no time like the present to begin this process.

“Know the size of your estate, and start developing a succession plan today,” Childs says.

“You’re not going to live forever,” Bradley says. “So, start planning today.”

Stepping into Sustainability Matched Opportunity

Efficiency moves that double as sustainability.

Sustainability and operational efficiency go hand-in-hand. Even though this column is a place to explore the emerging concept and opportunities in sustainability, it’s good to remember that we don’t have to chase buzzwords like “net zero” to be sustainable. When we run more efficient operations, we naturally conserve resources, cut costs and steward the land better.

Fall is the perfect season to check in and tighten up how we do things, and it’s often when small adjustments pay off the most. While the ideas below are almost entirely native to how we do business, I hope taking the time to look closely at these practical areas will be a valuable ‘sustainability’ move.

Feed

One of the most important efficiency moves in fall is fine-tuning feed and rations. Forage quality declines quickly and going into this season, we know hay becomes a bigger part of the ration. Activities like testing hay, balancing nutrients and feeding with precision reduce waste and put every pound of feed to good use. That’s operational efficiency, but it’s also sustainability — making sure resources are maximized.

Grazing

Another place to sharpen efficiency is grazing management. Allowing pastures rest periods, monitoring recovery times and planning moves carefully help extend grazing days, maintain root health and save stored feed for later. Simply rotating cattle more intentionally this fall can lead

to more resilient grass stands next year. This might be a time to look into potential regenerative agriculture practices and funding available for your pastures.

Equipment

Whether crops are part of your operation or not, fall is the time for equipment maintenance, which is another efficiency move that doubles as sustainability. Fall puts tractors, balers, feed wagons and trucks under heavy use. A proactive tune-up keeps machines running smoothly, reduces breakdowns and prevents costly downtime. When we reduce wasted energy and keep machines efficient, we’re practicing sustainability without ever using the word.

Water

Water systems deserve attention before cold weather sets in. Checking tanks, lines and heaters now avoids the hassle of frozen or broken systems when the weather gets miserable and might even shore up your fuel usage in the winter.

Labor

Labor efficiency is another often-overlooked area. As days shorten, it’s easy to overlap chores or make multiple trips that could have been combined. By watching how time is spent feeding, checking or moving cattle, we can reorganize tasks to save both labor and fuel. Bundling chores together or adjusting routes can make the day smoother for the crew while conserving resources and energy use.

Herd evaluation

Fall is also the natural time to evaluate the herd itself. Obviously, the American Hereford Association provides many resources to support your herd management decisions; yet, considering those in the context of operational sustainability might be a different twist. Cull decisions on open or unsound cows tighten the efficiency of the herd, saving feed resources for the most productive animals. Sustainable beef production depends on cows that can perform and last, and herd management is key to that. We all value Herefords for their efficiency, and this is a great way to showcase that.

Each of these steps may look like good management — and they are — but together they build a stronger, more sustainable beef operation. Every bale, gallon or hour saved keeps us in business longer while caring for the land and our cattle better. This fall let’s not overcomplicate sustainability. Let’s manage smarter and let the results speak for themselves.

Let’s continue the conversation.

From the Field

In Passing

Bryan Ray Sidwell, Carr, Colo., passed Sept. 10.

Bryan was born Dec. 25, 1961, in Greeley, Colo., to Marlene (Strong) and Harold Sidwell.

Although Bryan had many passions, being a rancher was his life. His love and adoration for a great cow herd, competitive stock and the love of his life fulfilled his heart.

Bryan was born and raised at the current Sidwell Herefords ranch location. He grew up attending elementary school in Nunn, Colo., and graduated from Highland High School, Ault, Colo., in 1980. Upon graduation he set out to grow and develop his love of Hereford cattle deeper than it was already rooted. Over those two years, Bryan spent time working for B&C Cattle Co. in Miami, Texas, and traveling with Fehlman Cattle Services, exhibiting Hereford cattle across the nation. Bryan returned home and the partnership Sidwell Herefords, RLLP was formed with his parents. During the ’80s, being in the cattle business was a challenge. Bryan remained on the ranch while his father went to work for Producers Livestock Auction in Greeley, Colo., and his mother took a job at State Farm. Through the hard times, the three, as a team, kept Sidwell Herefords alive and going.

In 2009, Bryan finally cracked the shell and decided he might want a wife. Thanks to the National Western Stock Show (NWSS), Bryan “met” (even though they had known each other for years) his true love, Linda Stangle of Stangle Herefords in Nebraska. Their love story was one for the books. Bryan’s dad had told Linda if she was ever going to have a relationship with his son, she had better plan on marrying the ranch. A whirlwind relationship of two weeks, two cattle shows/sales in two different states and then an engagement happened Feb. 16,

2009. This was after Bryan drove to Nebraska for Valentine’s Day and took his unbeknownst future daughters out to eat while his unbeknownst future wife was conducting parent teacher conferences. If the two girls, Shaylea and Brooke, didn’t scare him away, nothing ever would.

Bryan and Linda married on Sept. 5, 2009, near Lyman, Neb. The love they shared never wavered in 16 years. Bryan often stated he felt as if it were he and Linda against the world, and together they would succeed. In 2014, Sidwell Herefords, RLLP took on a little different look. Bryan and Linda became full partners in the business as Bryan’s parents retired. From that point, Bryan and Linda shared in all aspects of the business and life. Brent and Robin Meeks, of Upstream Ranch, often teased the couple that every time they were seen together (which was almost always) they would be holding hands even after the “honeymoon period” wore off.

In the fall of 2017, Bryan became quite ill. Two hospitals and two weeks later, he had turned the corner and was improving greatly. He came home from that hospital stay with a nervous wife who hoped and prayed she didn’t do something wrong with the medical devices and cause a catastrophe. Bryan recovered well and was living an incredibly great life. He was able to rest and recover at home as he had full faith and trust that his wife was more than capable of running the ranch in two locations. Bryan always told people the ranch could run without him, but it would never run without his wife. This was a true testament to the love they shared. Bryan’s health took a major turn for the worse, leading to open-heart surgery in 2022. He truly fought for his life the entire month of August and most of September. He finally made the move to a long-term care facility and rehabilitation center in late September, and he started rebuilding his life — completely reteaching every

single muscle in his body. One hundred sixteen days from when he walked into the hospital for his open-heart surgery, Bryan walked out of the rehab facility and into his home. During this time, due to surgery complications, Bryan was placed on dialysis. This became the new normal that he and Linda navigated while at home and traveling. Linda was trained to do his treatments, and it just became part of their new normal, while maintaining and keeping the passion of a progressive Hereford cow herd moving forward.

Bryan was proud of many things in his life: high school state football champions; showing the NWSS reserve pen of bulls, the Fort Worth champion horned female and many division champions; owning and exhibiting the Wyoming State Fair supreme champion bull for three consecutive years; and owning the 2019 National Horned Show Bull of the Year with Barber Ranch, Channing, Texas. All of these accolades were special to Bryan, but nothing was more special than being called “Papa Bryan.”

Bryan is survived by wife, Linda of Carr; daughters, Shaylea Hinojosa of Greeley and Brooke (Jonathan) Redus of Andrews, Texas; mother, Marlene of Chelsea, Okla.; brother, Warren (Jolene) of Chelsea; sister, Cheryl of Chelsea; niece, Valerie (James) Lusk of Chelsea; nephews, Matthew (Laurie) of Sperry, Okla., Isaac Langston and Tristan Lusk; grandchildren, Kristaleigh, Benjamin and Archie Chadwick, Parker Lynn Redus and baby boy Redus; special family, Tessa Booco of Hayden, Colo.; and special family friends, Connor Hill, Wakarusa, Ind., and Hunter Petsch, Meridian, Wyo.

Bryan was preceded in death by his grandparents, Viola Strong, F.A. and Georgia Sidwell; father, Harold Sidwell; brother, Harold Todd Sidwell; aunt and uncle, Cynthia and Walter Sidwell; and aunt, Donna Foos.

Travis Eugene “Gene” Jernigan, 83, Godley, Texas, passed Sept. 12. Gene dedicated more than 65 years to public service, agriculture and community leadership. He retired as vice president of external relations for TXU Business Services after 37 years; he also served in Austin for the 67th-84th Legislative Sessions.

A proud graduate of Godley High School, Gene went on to earn both his bachelor’s and master’s of education degrees from Sam Houston State University. He began his career as a vocational agriculture teacher before stepping into a lifetime of leadership. Gene served as state vice president with the Young Farmer Organization. He was past president of the North Fort Worth Rotary Club, past president of the Fort Worth Farm & Ranch Club and co-chairman of the Texas FFA Convention. He spent 55 years with the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, where he was an honorary vice president. In 2003, he was honored as “Man of the Year” by the Texas County Agricultural Agents Association. He served as a trustee for the Texas 4-H Foundation from 2009-2018 and helped ensure a generation of youth gained an agricultural education with 4-H Foundation scholarships. He was also a Paul Harris Fellow with Rotary International.

Gene and his wife, Margaret, built their life in Godley and Indian Gap over 36 years, where they managed a cow-calf operation. He has four children and was blessed with 13 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Gene will be remembered for his steady leadership, quick wit and devotion to his family and community. His life was an example of integrity, generosity and strength.

Kelisa “Kelli” Marie Zink, 66, Oxford, Ind., passed Sept. 15. She was born in Lafayette, Ind., on Feb. 2, 1959, to Robert and Shirley Zink. She graduated from Benton Central High School in 1977 and then attended

Purdue University earning her associate’s degree in nursing.

Kelli was a labor and delivery nurse for 45 years, and she took care of at least 21,000 babies over the span of her career. She started out at Home Hospital and then transitioned to Franciscan Health. Kelli was in the postpartum unit and was such a gift to thousands of mothers over the years. She was also a neonatal resuscitation program instructor, patient care coordinator and LDRP attendance and timekeeper. Kelli was known to many as “Mama” and had a selfless and nurturing spirit. In honor of Kelli’s 45 years of service, Franciscan Lafayette East Newborn Nursery was dedicated to Kelli on Sept. 12, 2025.

Outside of her career, Kelli was formerly involved in the American Hereford Association and the Indiana Hereford Association, as well as being a Longeberger consultant. She loved showing cattle and spending time with her nieces and nephews who gave her immense joy.

She is survived by her mother, Shirley Ann (Hall) Zink; siblings, Robin (Rex) Tribbett of Linden, Ind., Shaun (Clark) Ponder of Veedersburg, Ind., and Pat (Jennifer) Zink of Oxford; nieces and nephews, Hillary Tribbett of Los Angeles, Calif., Brooke (Mike) Eveland of Paris, Ill., Shelby (Jacob) Pletcher of Eskridge, Kan., Lane (Skylar) Zink of Stillwater, Okla., and Kale (Grace Klooz) Zink of Oxford; and great-niece and nephew, Piper and Carson Pletcher. She was preceded in death, 21 years ago, by her father, Robert Zink.

Jean Moore Matheny, 88, Georgetown, Ky., passed Sept. 17.

Jean was born on Aug. 29, 1937, in Lexington, Ky., to the late Wellington and Elizabeth Willis Moore. Recently celebrating 63 years of marriage, Jean married John Lee Matheny on Aug. 29, 1962, and resided in Georgetown for 60 years.

Jean graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1960 with a degree in elementary education. Later she completed her master’s degree and

Rank 1 at Georgetown College in elementary education. Beginning at Yates Elementary in Fayette County and ending her lifelong teaching career at Northern Elementary in Scott County, Mrs. Matheny was a beloved teacher to those who were fortunate enough to call her classroom home. After retiring, Jean was a substitute teacher for Scott County Schools, and she spent many years working at the Keeneland Racetrack and Rupp Arena — becoming the smile many longed to see.

Jean was a member of the Georgetown Women’s Club, Scott County Retired Teachers, Georgetown Baptist Church and a volunteer at Georgetown Community Hospital. Jean’s days were often filled with others.

The best way to describe Jean is that she had a gift for making those around her feel truly special. She remembered the details that mattered most and wove them into the small moments. Her kindness was steady and unwavering, and her presence left an impact on those around her.

Jean is survived by her husband, John; her sons, Greg of Georgetown and Andrew (Suzanne) of Mays Lick, Ky.; two grandchildren, Austin (Rylee) Matheny of Mays Lick and Taylor Belle Matheny of Kansas City, Mo.; her newest joy, great-grandson, James Bode Matheny; sisters-in-law, Judith Matheny Herrick of Chambersburg, Penn., Mary Moore of Auburn, Ala., and Ceacy Moore of Lexington; a special niece, Janet (Chuck) Moore Olver and Janet’s son, Mark (Sherrie) Olver of Georgetown; and other nieces and nephews including: Edward Moore Jr., Michael Moore, Christy Moore Nall, Brian Moore and Prisca Moore.

Mrs. Matheny is preceded in death by her siblings, Edward Willis (Betty) Moore, Wellington Moore and James William Moore; brother-in-law, Tom Herrick; and nieces and nephews Timothy Moore, Gary Moore and Pamela Moore.

Jim Dean McClun, 91, Veteran, Wyo., passed Sept. 17.

Jim was born on May 19, 1934, in Huntley,

continued on page 70...

Wyo., to Wilson Earl and Mary (DeBoer) McClun, the eighth of eight children. He had five sisters and two brothers. In 1946, his family moved to the ranch in Veteran.

After graduating from high school, Jim attended the University of Wyoming, where he pledged to Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and formed lifelong friendships. He was also the treasurer of the agricultural honorary fraternity, Alpha Zeta. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Army for two years in Fort Hood, Texas, before completing his bachelor’s degree with the support of the G.I. Bill.

He then went to work at the Sunrise Mine for a few years. He decided it was easier to work for himself, so he came back to the ranch full time. It’s not easier, but when you have that entrepreneurial spirit, you have to be your own boss. He spent his life taking care of cattle, improving the Hereford breed through nutrition and genetics. He was an avid supporter of all agricultural endeavors, but particularly 4-H and FFA. He bought his share of steers from the Fat Stock Sale and supported Southeast FFA’s fundraisers.

He married Jeri Geringer in 1962. They had three daughters and one son. After Jeri’s stroke, Jim patiently and lovingly took care of her, showing a gentleness rarely seen before.

He was a member of the South Goshen Presbyterian Church, serving as a session member and Logos grandfather. He was a member of the Colorado/Wyoming Polled Hereford Association, Wyoming Hereford Association, Wyoming Angus Association and the Veteran Volunteer Fire Department. He was the president of the Goshen County Stockgrowers Association and the Goshen Irrigation District, where he served as a board member for nine years.

Jim is survived by his daughters, JoAnn (Michael) Hall, Jean McClun, and Julie (Troy) Davis; son, Jeff (Kari) McClun; grandchildren: Katilyn, Dusty (Ivoma), Danie and Kristina Hall; Kody (Tyler), Kiffany and Kassidy McClun; and Janie Davis; great-grandchildren, Mason, Kanin, Haisley, Kyson and Kieran. He is

preceded in death by his wife, Jeri McClun; his brothers, Lorin and Verne “Jake” McClun; his sisters, Mary Evelyn Zavorka, Elsie Mae Eaton, Marjorie McClun, Beth Eaton and Georgia Allen; and his parents.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Karen J. Clark, 70, Waynesboro, Ga., passed Sept. 27. She was the oldest child of the late Thomas H. and Hazel B. Mead of Midville, Ga., and the granddaughter of the late Jessie W. Burke and Bernice Burke Cox of Millen, Ga., and John Gordon and Martha Etta Mead of Waynesboro.

She was a lifelong resident of Burke County, growing up near Midville and later moving to Waynesboro and marrying her one and only love, Jerry Richard Clark, who preceded her in death.

After graduation from Edmund Burke Academy, she began working at Keller Aluminum where she met Jerry. She then began her 47-year career at Burke Medical Center. She began working in admissions and moved up the ladder eventually ending her career at Burke Medical Center in billing.

She loved being outdoors in the sunshine, keeping her lawn mowed, keeping all things neat and organized and going to the family farm — Mead Cattle Enterprises, where she played a big behind-the-scenes role in the business.

She was a member of the Midville Baptist Church.

She leaves behind her only child, Kimberly (Jim) Clark-Brake of Sparta, Ga.; sisters: Becky Rogers-Peck and Roger of Grovetown, Ga., Janice M. Beard and Joe Rooker of Statesboro,

Ga.; brother, Tommy Mead of Midville; nieces and nephews: Ashley Rogers, Blake Rogers, Leslie Beard, Emily Beard, Tommie Lynne and Skyler Jones. She was also great aunt to Aubree, Charlee, Leythe, Walker, Jaxon and McKenna.
