Editorial Comments... Jill Bayers Hotchkiss Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you! We sincerely wish you a healthy and prosperous new Jill Hotchkiss year with greatly improved cattle markets. As I write this, it seems a long time since our last publication. Lots of things have happened since our November/December issue went to press — national and state elections, several state Hereford sales and meetings, some of the first bull sales of the season, and the AHA’s big annual meeting just to name a few. Now, the big Denver Stock Show is just around the corner. The few sales I have been to so far have been good, although averages are down. I think this was expected seeing as the cattle market in general was quite low this fall. Fortunately it is starting to rebound and most producers are not expecting the prices of the last two years. Right now those high prices are a fond memory which we hope will one day return. Lots of good state Hereford meetings around our region. I was able to attend the South Dakota banquet and sale which were well attended. I think the SDHA banquet could have been the biggest one they’ve had in recent years with over 200 people. North Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas and Montana all had their annual meetings in November and December also but I haven’t heard reports on them yet. So enthusiasm for the breed is alive and well and continues to grow. In November I attended the Amer(continued on page 6)

HEREFORD AMERICA • January 2017
ducted by AHA personnel. I thought this was a good idea since there are new people and new programs at the AHA. One that I attended, Whole Herd TPR Genetic Evaluation, conducted by Shane Bedwell, AHA’s director of breed improvement, was excellent. There was great interest in his subject matter and he spoke to a packed house
Jill’s Editorial... (continued from page 1) ican Hereford Association’s annual meeting in Kansas City. I was quite impressed with the meetings, educational sessions and events that the AHA staff conducted. There were two rounds of educational sessions, three choices for each. Most of the sessions were con-
each time. He discussed developments for implementing new genetic evaluation software called BOLT. He also spoke about further implemenation of Genetically Enhanced EPDs which he said won’t necessarily change the EPDs a lot but will dramatically improve the accuracy. He also touched on some of the new EPDs to be implemented in the future. These will include Sustained
Cow Fertility (SCF), Heifer Calving Rate (HCR), and Dry Matter Intake (DMI). He also spoke about the dollar index EPDs or as they refer to them, the Profit Indexes. All popular subjects which were well presented to a very attentive crowd. The other seminar I attended was the Social Media presentation by AHA’s Marketing and Communications Coordinators Kaylen Baker and Katy Holdener. The new, young AHA employees who conducted this presentation did an excellent job of presenting an overview of using Social Media for ranch promotion. It was interesting to see these new employees in action but just as interesting to see who was in attendance. The session I went to didn’t have a lot of people at it but we were certainly a diverse group, all the way from experienced users to total newbies but the young women handled themselves well and answered questions well. 1 The AHA’s annual meeting with complete business reports and election of new officers was one of the most encouraging in a long time. Again, when you are playing to a packed venue you know there are a lot of interested people. And it was that. A positive financial report, updates on the committees which sound like they are moving in the right direction, positive news about the CHB program and introductions of new employees. My sincere compliments to AHA’s executive vice president Jack Ward and his staff for a great job. The election of new directors was interesting with a very capable group of nominees. The directors coming off the board were Sam Shaw, outgoing president; Curtis Curry and Jonny Harris. The new directors are Tommy Mead, Midville, GA; Bruce Thomas, Gold Creek, MT; and Joel Birdwell, Kingfisher, OK. An exciting development was the election of Terri Barber as the AHA’s new president. Terri comes from the historic Barber Ranch family in Channing, Texas. She is integrally involved in the ranch and also brings years of sales and technical experience to the table, working for Elanco Animal Health for 10 years. She is currently a territory manager for the southwest region. At one time, she worked as the national branded beef marketing associate at Elanco. She is a smart, capable, talented young woman who is dedicated to the breed, its future and its programs. Congratulations Terri! Also of note at the Kansas City events, our good friend Art Handel from Rapid City was inducted into the AHA’s Hall of Merit. For those of you who don’t know Art, he has worked tirelessly for the Hereford industry for most of his life and is in his 53rd year on the road, as he says. He grew up on a Hereford farm/ranch in South Dakota and went on to work for the AHA for 33 years. After leav-

(continued from page 6) ing that organization he became self employed, working the ring at sales (over 5,000 sales), buying and selling feeder cattle and females, primarily Hereford and Hereford-cross cattle. He also does some consulting and sale management work. He has racked up over a million miles on the road in the last 53 years — the ultimate road warrior for Herefords. He is not limited to our breed but he does a lot for it. In this area of the Dakotas, Nebraska and Minnesota, he’s one of the best things going for the Hereford industry. We extend our heart-felt congratulations to him. Well deserved!

On another subject, the AJHA has an incredible scholarship program. There were 13 sets of scholarships awarded in Kansas City, with the Vanier scholarship recognizing 10 young people. It is amazing the amount of money which has been collected for these scholarships. It was amazing to sit through the awards ceremony as each recipient gave a very brief introduction of themselves. These are some very impressive young people. My hope is their success will carry on and that many of them will stay in the Hereford business. Congratulations are also in order for Sam Shaw, outgoing AHA president.
S
Sam is a record-setter, being the third AHA president in one family, something never before achieved. Fulfilling his dreams of raising Hereford cattle and serving the breed and the breeders, Sam continues living the Hereford dream with his family. Daily ranch operations include his dad, Outgoing AHA president, Sam Shaw with his wife Janel and Greg, mother Cleo children, Ava (left) Lydia and Gwen.

Sam served the association well as did his father, Greg, and his grandfather Tom. Congratulations to Sam and his predecessors on a job well done! And finally, I am pleased to announce that Hereford America’s sister company, The Livestock Link (TLL), has brought a new partner on board. Philip Eggers from Sioux Falls, SD, officially joined the company this fall. He will be TLL’s Chief Financial O ff i c e r. Phil is a man who wears a lot of hats including being on TLL’s road crew conductPhil Eggers ing video sales. He is also a Hereford breeder owning and operating Eggers Southview Farms with his dad, Tim. Their farm is near Renner, SD, just north of Sioux Falls. Phil is also a realtor and is the past manager of the South Dakota Hereford Association. Thank you once again to all of our advertisers. You have made this January issue one of the biggest we have published, tying with last year’s. Dad is getting the month off for Christmas. Maybe he will return the favor to me next month as I start attending shows and sales. — JBH

Selling: 85 Yearling Bulls 20 Yearling heifers 8 Young Bred cows
Undeterred by fads or trends, the herd sires at Cooper Hereford Ranch are the result of over 70 years of line breeding and trait selection. Maintaining the Line One genetic pool has enabled us to increase the uniformity of our herd and to provide our customers with a selection of 80-90 yearling bulls that vary little in structure & type from top to bottom. By maintaining an approximate 25% in-breeding coefficient our customers can rely on bulls that will produce a uniform set of offspring with predictable growth and maternal traits, and balanced EPDs.
Our genetics have withstood the test of TIME!! We’re focused on producing solid bulls with balanced EPDs that excel in any environment, registered or commercial.

We calve in April so the females are on green grass. This gives us a better idea of the udder quality of the females and puts less stress on the calves. The females winter out and calve in a 3,000-acre pasture. They are checked once a day by horse. If a cow has calving problems, a calf does not get up and nurse or if the cow cannot travel from water hole to water hole, they are eliminated. We run approximately 1,200-head of commercial females that are exposed almost

exclusively to Durbin Creek Ranch bulls. Like you, these cows are our livelihood. We cannot afford diminished calf crops, low conception rates or poor carcass traits. The registered cow herd was designed with these cows in mind so that we would know in depth the history of the cattle dictating the genetic future of the program. We have retained ownership of our calf crop for 20 years. Extensive carcass and performance data have been compiled over the years.

Herefords have been the mainstay of the Barber program since the beginning, with the herd currently consisting of 350 registered females.
Barber said as president, she plans to continue to focus on programs that will help Hereford breeders produce genetics that will benefit from economically relevant traits highly sought in all industry segments. “Our priority in genotyping to identify genetics that can build profitability will remain center plate as well as providing our staff and allied leaders the resources to maintain efficiency of member services,” Terri says. “Marketing value-based programs will also be a key component to ensuring Herefords are committed to industry demands whereby growing our Certified Here-

They host an annual bull sale in November in San Saba – the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Show heifer and donor prospects are sold in special sales in the spring and fall. To increase marketing efforts, the Barbers also exhibit at the national shows.

She has also served as Elanco’s branded beef marketing associate and has worked directly with premier branded programs in the U.S. “Every single person involved in our present state of success should be commended and thanked for their contributions in this monumental state of achievements in the Hereford breed,” Barber said. “While we continue our growth and enviable positioning within the beef industry, we cannot lose sight of the dynamic efforts we have taken to position us where we are today, nor shall we become complacent,” Barber said. “Our breed is in what I would term as the best it’s ever been in my lifetime. It is with great gratitude and respect I thank those who have served on this AHA Board and staff for allowing me, my family and all of us in this rewarding business today to enjoy our livelihoods.

late 1970s, he started Thomas Custom Fitting, in which he fed, fit and showed Hereford cattle across the United States, culminating with winning grand champion horned female at the 1984 National Western Stock Show. As his family began to grow, Thomas dissolved this business to be home with his family. He then started a 25-year career in the timber and sawmill industry while helping with the day-to-day responsibilities of the ranch. During this time, Thomas had numerous responsibilities including being in charge of ranch sales, managing the operation’s human resources and ensuring the safety of 150 employees. In the 1970s Thomas Herefords began to use AI, but the ranch became aggressive in using this technology in the 1990s when the Thomases also started to utilize expected progeny differences (EPDs). Today Thomas Herefords maintains 250 head of registered Hereford cows and markets cattle private treaty throughout the United States and other
countries. The ranch sells 75 bulls and more than 50 head of females annually. Its partnership with Accelerated Genetics has provided an opportunity for domestic and international semen sales. The focus of Thomas Herefords is to develop cattle to meet the needs of commercial customers by producing sound, efficient cattle that can excel in all segments of the beef industry. Thomas is a member of the Montana Hereford Association and has served numerous terms on the board of directors and held various officer positions including treasurer for the 2016 Montana Hereford Association Tour. He has also served as an advisor for the Montana Junior Hereford Association. Currently, Thomas is vice chairman of the Watershed Restoration Coalition of the Upper Clark Fork River and is on the Powell County Planning Board. He is also a member of the Montana Stockgrowers Association and Clark Fork City Church. Bruce and Tammy have three children — Kurt and his wife Jessica, Amber and her husband Travis, and Heather and her husband Ben — and five grandchildren.

member of the Secretary of Agriculture’s technical advisory committee for multilateral trade negotiations. Powell served on the National Cattlemen’s Association tax committee and the National Livestock tax committee. He was inducted into the International Stockmen’s School Hall of Fame and the Texas State Fair Agriculture Hall of Honor. Jack Turner Turner started his Hereford herd after graduating from the University of Oklahoma with the basic principals of keeping an eye on birth weight and keeping mature size in check while emphasizing as much end product merit as possible. Turner bred the famed L617 bull that was used in the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) carcass merit project, which led to the first tenderness expected progeny difference (EPD) in the Hereford breed, and is still the basis for the current genetic markers for tenderness. Turner serves on the Hereford Research Foundation board and has helped guide the American Hereford Association by identifying the research projects the association should be involved with. He is very supportive of research projects going on within the AHA both financially and with genetics.

Membership Meeting in Kansas City, MO. Hall of Merit inductees are not necessarily Hereford breeders but have, in their own ways, greatly influenced the Hereford breed and cattle industry. Handel is the third generation of the Handel Hereford family. He attended South Dakota State University where he was involved in Block and Bridle, Little International, the rodeo club, the livestock judging team and the meats judging team. While at SDSU, Handel began traveling and working sale rings across the country. To date, he has worked more than 5,000 sales. In 1970, Handel began a 33-year
career as a field representative with the American Hereford Association and the Hereford Journal. He traveled across the United States, worked with the adult and junior organizations and conducted many state, national and international tours. Art was instrumental in starting the South Dakota Junior Hereford Association and was an adult advisor for the program for many years. He also buys Hereford and Herefordinfluenced feeder calves for feed yards in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota. Art is a great friend of the Hereford breed and the AHA is honored to induct him into the Hereford Hall of Merit.
Pat and Art Handel visit with Mike Nolles, Bassett, NE, after the awards ceremony. Mike says he has traveled a million miles with Art and heard lots of stories.

Ochsner Earns All-American Judging Title
A University of Wyoming Livestock Judging Team member earning an AllAmerican Award may cap a career like no other across the nation. Blake (BW) Ochsner of Torrington, WY received the honor during the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, KY, in November. Ochsner is one of 11 students across the nation receiving the award, and UW is one of only five universities to have an All-American Award recipient, said Caleb Boardman, UW livestock judging coach.

Ochsner’s resume includes a meat judging All-American Award as a member of the UW reserve national champion team, a Junior College AllAmerican Livestock Judge award for
Casper College in 2014, and a member of the 2015 UW meat animal evaluation team, where he was second-high individual overall at the national contest.

(continued from page 37) both in academics and judging is unprecedented,” Boardman said. “He is the type of student that makes being a coach so enjoyable.” Ochsner was named an outstanding senior in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources by Gamma Sigma Delta and is a member of the Block and Bridle, Collegiate Cattleman’s and Food Science clubs. He conducted an undergraduate research project on the “Regional Economic Impacts of Brucellosis.” Off campus, he is involved with the Wyoming and National Junior Hereford associations and the Wyoming Stock Growers Association. Ochsner will graduate with an agricultural business degree this month and plans to return to the family-owned Hereford and Angus ranch, which was established in 1913, as a fifth-generation member.
three, and daughter Jessica showed the Champion Hereford Female, Intermediate Division, heifer. “We’re very grateful, and plan to continue as we are in some measure. Without our relationship with the buyers, we wouldn’t have been able to reach this level of success,” Middleswarth said. Wrapping up an exciting month last year, Jay and his wife Marsha, hosted the annual bull sale on the home place (continued on page 42)
An unconventional bull sale format has been successful for Middleswarths for 3 years.

JENSEN
BROS
by Sandra Hansen Ag Editor, Star Herald TORRINGTON, Wyoming — John Middleswarth surely had dreams of a long-lasting family operation when he started ranching near Cheyenne, Wyoming, in 1916, and it is equally certain that he would be awe-struck by the success his descendants have accomplished. An example of that was visible last January when his grandson, Jay Middleswarth, and family held their 58th production sale at the ranch east of Torrington. Succeeding generations kept moving north, looking for open land that would allow them to spread out and achieve their goals. Leaving the Cheyenne country because his ranch was landlocked, the next stop was near Wheatland, then northeast of Torrington. Finally, Jay’s father, Ed, and his uncle, Norm, put down roots on the Wyoming/Nebraska border near Henry, NE, and in the 1950s developed their own new line of cattle, known as Cruzerio. During the past 100 years, the family has used the 6M brand, a variation on what John had in mind. In the beginning, he wanted to use JM, but couldn’t because that brand had been registered by Jim Moore, a cattleman near Jay Em, Wyoming, the small community named for the brand. John opted for the 6M, that looks like a backward J descending from the left leg of the M. He still got a J and an M. The family was honored for its 100 years of “Riding for the Brand” at the 2016 National Western Stock Show in Denver. They also were recognized for their 50th year of participating in the event. It was an extremely pleasant occasion for the Middleswarths because in addition to being recognized for their century-old operation, they had the champion winter bull calf pen of

(continued from page 41) along the North Platte River east of Torrington. Daughters Jessica and Ashley were excused so they could attend classes at their respective colleges in Kansas and Oklahoma. Middleswarth believes changes by producers and the industry over the past 100 years have lead to today’s successes. Among those changes have been the type of animal that livestock producers are looking for, the marketing aspect,

and even the Middleswarth bull sale. Middleswarth said that the National Western has seen cattle move from the 50s-60s style, to the larger animals of the 80s, and now are backing off to a more moderate size. The volume of animals has decreased, also. “Texans used to come up and buy a 100 bulls, but now a lot of people do their own production sales. There used to be more range cattle there, too, but now there are a lot of show types. “The Stock Show still serves its purpose, though,” he added. “I look at it as a window for owners to show their livestock. “As a young man, we looked more at blood lines and types, and it was more of a marketing tool, but I’ve looked at it more as a way to educate myself in what the trends are.” According to Middleswarth, one of the trends is bulls that are heavier than those of 40-50 years ago, and his own Herefords grow faster. “About six-seven years ago, during the drought, I experimented with genetics, and we now have quicker growth than we did in 1970.” The family’s bull sale has changed with the times, as well, with buyers moving from pen to pen, instead of moving the animals. “I got the idea at a farm sale,” Middleswarth explained Wednesday. “I was watching the Madden brothers moving their pickup from place to place, sell(continued on page 44)

Four years ago, he switched and is very pleased with the results. “What lead to it was the lack of labor, and time,” Middleswarth explained. “We have the bulls sorted in groups into pens, and the auctioneers drive the pickup to each one. The bulls are happier because their buddies are behind them in the pen, and they don’t spook as much when they don’t have to move around one at a time. This is more natural for them, and it gives the buyers a chance to compare the bulls in the pen. “We’ve tried the internet and video. This is so much quicker and takes fewer people. We had 58 bulls and were done in one hour and 10 minutes, Sat-

You know, they’re my family, too,” he explained.

HEREFORD AMERICA • January 2017
Douthit Families named 2017 Friend of the National Western The Douthit families of St. Francis, KS, represented by Douthit Herefords and 4V Ranch Douthit Herefords, will be recognized in January as the 2017 Friend of the National Western by the Red Meat Club of Denver. A perennial fixture as Yards exhibitors, 2017 will mark the families’ 74th year exhibiting purebred Hereford cattle at the National Western. Frank and Mary Douthit settled in northwest Kansas in the 1930s, and shortly thereafter sons Jim and Thad bought the family’s first Hereford bull. After Thad turned to commercial operations in the 1970s, the Douthit Herefords tradition continued under brother Jim and his three sons, Walter, Roger, and Steve, who took over as partners in 1984. Primarily for estate planning purposes, in 2008 the broth-
ers dissolved their partnership. While Roger turned to running commercial cattle after that, Walter and Steve continued the seedstock operation as Douthit Herefords and 4V Ranch Douthit Herefords, respectively. The brothers at the time divided the Douthit cowherd on a lottery basis. Although that common genetic foundation still yields a lot of similarities between the two operations, some variation in type and design has inevitably emerged as each operation independently makes selection and breeding decisions based on personal preferences and customer demands. Despite that variation, certain themes continue that have placed the Douthits at the forefront of the Hereford breed for roughly 80 years. For the cattle, structure, disposition, calving ease and
feed efficiency are paramount traits. And for the families themselves, honesty, integrity, and consistency are the guiding principles. It’s a combination that has won the Douthit family the respect of their peers, as evidenced by the induction of Walter, Roger, and Steve into the American Hereford Association Hall of Fame in 2012. Today, the fourth generation of the family is actively managing both operations. Roger passed in 2013, and Steve was lost in a tragic farming accident in the fall of 2015. 4V Ranch is guided today by the family of Steve and his wife Melva, including their children Ana, Erica, Margo, Courtney and Thomas, their sons-in-law Tyler Enfield and Matt Gattshall and their grandsons Zarik and Quade. Walter, his daughter Megan and her husband
Chuck Downey direct operations at Douthit Herefords. The Douthit’s will be honored at the Red Meat Club dinner on Thursday, January 12, 2017, held in the National Western Club. This year’s featured speaker is meat industry leader and NWSS executive board member Mark Gustafson. Drawing on more than 38 years’ experience in promoting and advancing U.S. red meat exports, Mark will speak on “International Markets: Past, Present & Future.” Those interested in attending should contact Anneliese Phippen at (303) 299-5556 to see if reservations are still available.
One of the Douthit bulls that will be in Denver this year, JCS 5216 Domino 3494.

Obituaries Marjorie Jean Nelson
Our family is saddened at the loss of our mother, Marjorie Jean Nelson. She went to be with the Lord, on Nov. 10, 2016, at the age of 89. She was born in Quincy, IL, on Jan. 27, 1927, to Laura and Artie Holtman, and raised on the family farm in Ursa, IL. On a trip to Mon-
HEREFORD AMERICA • January 2017
tana to visit her cousins, she met the man who would sweep her off her feet: Allen Nelson. They were married on March 6, 1948. They ranched on the family place until 1995 when they sold the ranch in Livingston and moved to Red Lodge. Marge was doing great: walking a couple of miles a day and going to exercise class three times a week, but God needed a special angel, so He called her home. We are thankful she was blessed to live a long and healthy life. Her wish of living in the family home and not dying alone were granted. She was very independent. Marge loved the Lord, her family
and her many friends, in that order. She loved to bake. Her cookies were always a hit, her cinnamon rolls were loved by all, and her pecan pies were the first to go. Her jerky, deviled eggs, and caramel popcorn were coveted by all. She loved to play games with the family and was very competitive. Marge spent many fun filled afternoons playing Tenzi with her dear friend Vonnie Heare. Marge loved watching her grandkids and great grandkids play sports and other activities such as showing animals, FFA, and recitals. She tried not to miss any events. Her love for Christ was very evi-
dent. She attended Luther Community Church every Sunday and faithfully brought treats to share. Marge is survived by the love of her life: Allen Nelson; four children: Dixie Hoffman (Denny), Janet Dietz (Dwayne), Kent Nelson (Becky), and Lorra Mitzkus (Jim). She is survived by her four sisters: Rosie Jost, Jeanette Werner, Sylvia Baxter (Ralph) and Sandra Deal (Joe). Marge is survived by many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She was a grandmother to more than her biological ones. We were blessed to have her as our Mom, as a wife, as a grandmother, a great- grandmother, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a dear friend. We are shocked and saddened but are so very thankful that God allowed us have her for so long. We cry a lot, then we laugh some, and we rejoice when remembering her. She is up in heaven walking the streets of gold. Thanks, Mom, for all the love and support that you gave each one of us. We love you and miss you so much. Until we see you again.

Judy Lou Munn Imig
Judy Lou Munn Imig, 79, of Lakeside NE, who founded Imig Herefords with her husband Roger, passed away surrounded by family on November 28, 2016. Judy Lou Munn Imig was born January 22, 1937 in Harrison, NE to Mabel Clare Higgins Munn and John Owen Munn. The family moved to a farm north of Waverly in 1939, where they lived with Judy’s grandmother and uncles during WWII. Her family lived in Rokeby, NE in 1945 where her family operated the grain elevator. Judy was actively involved in farming, helping her dad at the grain elevator, and in 4-H. She won numerous purple ribbons with her calves at the Nebraska State Fair and Ak-Sar-Ben. Judy excelled at school. She skipped 3rd grade and matriculated at the Teacher’s High School, an experimental teaching high school on the campus of the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Judy was awarded a Regent’s Scholarship upon graduating from high school. Judy married Roger Imig in November, 1954 and they moved to the Imig farm outside of Goehner, NE. There Roger and Judy started their family of 4 daughters and one son. They farmed corn and soybeans and began a herd of Hereford cattle. Judy was a competitive seamstress, competing and winning awards for beautifully constructed women’s and children’s clothing in the Nebraska Grange competitions. She often sewed through the night while raising 5 children under the age of 6, running a home and farming with Roger. The Imig family moved to a ranch south of Valentine in 1968 to begin cattle ranching exclusively. The family moved to a ranch near Thedford, NE in 1973. Judy and Roger purchased the Arapahoe Ranch north of Lakeside and moved there in 1983 to continue the development and running of Imig Herefords. In 1982, Judy and Roger’s family was named the Nebraska Farm Family by the Lincoln Journal-Star. Judy loved living in the Sandhills. She was actively involved in the ranch, feeding, riding, haying, calving and marketing and catering their bull sales held on the ranch. She loved learning about the history of the Sandhills and enjoyed her neighbors immensely. Judy loved every aspect of delivering cattle around the country to Imig Hereford customers. She enjoyed see-
HEREFORD AMERICA • January 2017
ing the ranches where their cattle would produce and getting to know customers and their families. She especially enjoyed the independence and adventure of driving her pickup and trailer thousands of miles over the years in all kinds of weather and on all kinds of roads keeping the cattle healthy and safe. Judy’s sense of humor was often the magic needed to help the family through the hard work of ranching. Silly songs and bad puns were in her arsenal, as well as the perfect line to make a ridiculous day funny. Judy was an avid reader of biographies, history, Nebraska authors, and of course, John Grisham. When she travelled with family to places like New York, London, Wales, Alaska and Hawaii she knew much about the history and culture from her reading which enriched everyone’s experience. She actively supported her kids’ involvement in 4-H, Nebraska Jr. Hereford Association, high school sports, speaking contests, spelling contests, and piano lessons. She worked hard to make it all happen – making clothes, drilling spelling words, washing calves, driving everywhere, so her kids could pursue a wide range of activities and interests. Judy was a leader in her community as a 4-H leader, Western Nebraska Community College Board of Education member, Lakeside School Board member, and Sheridan County Election Board member. SHE was an enthusiastic Nebraska Cornhusker fan and began going to games with her father in the 1940s at Memorial stadium in Lincoln.
She was encouraged by the growing strength of the current Husker team into her last days. Judy loved her dogs, her registered Tibetan Terriers which she raised and showed, and her beloved rescue dogs Lulu and Charlie. She was actively involved in the lives of each of her grandchildren and loved spending time with them, knowing all that was going on in their lives and group texts on Nebraska game days. Grandma Judy will be sorely missed. Judy was very close with her sisters and brother, and loved getting updates from them about their kids and grandkids and so she could relay them to her own children. Judy is survived by her children Janyce Imig West (Tess Southard), Mike Imig (Vicki Hoecher), Mary Imig (Robert Schweitzer) and Julie Imig (George Shopp); grandchildren Clare Schweitzer, Jack Schweitzer, Ellen Imig Arkfeld, Grace Imig Arkfeld, Margaret Imig, Madison Imig, Emily Judith West Southard, Trystin Gielissen, Zane Gielissen; and her sisters Janis Munn Davis, Eddie Munn Ranson, and brother John Munn. Memorials may be given to the Alliance Public Library. Online condolences may be left at www.batesgould.com with BatesGould Funeral Home of Alliance in charge of arrangements.

James “Jim” Mikkelsen
God gained a great cowboy November 27, 2016. James Milton Mikkelsen was born and raised in Eden, Montana, June 28th, 1928. Jim’s parents owned and operated the grocery store and post office in Eden. Eventually, they purchased ranch land and Jim and his older brother Roy began their careers of ranching and raising registered Hereford cattle. Jim attended the Eden school grades 1-8. He worked at the Ayrshire Dairy as a teenager and at age 17 he tried to join the Army; at that time he was denied entry due to his young age. In 1951, Jim was inducted to the Armed Forces. His years there were very important to him as was service to his country. In the service, he developed a fellowship with the brothers he served with that continued thru several reunions of the group throughout the United States. In 1956, Jim married his bride Rachel Margaret Tow of Havre. Together they moved to Hobson to start their life work of ranching and farming. A short 9 months (and 15 mins later as Jim recalls) they had their first son, Rodney. The family then continued to grow with the addition of Darrell “Spike”, Kerrie and Karla. In 1968 after starting his family on leased property, they purchased the Porter Ranch and continued

ranching there until they moved into Hobson. Jim continued to be involved in as many ranching and farming activities as possible and working on the ranch was forever on his mind. Jim was a highly respected cattleman and was a leader and member in the American Hereford Association, Montana Hereford Association and Central Montana Hereford Association.

group of Hereford breeders in the state of Montana. Jim was a strong leader in the Hobson community, participating in the local American Legion Post #76, the Utica Rod and Gun Club, Fergus Eagles Club, Hobson School Board, and being a lifelong supporter of local 4H and FFA clubs. Jim never met a stranger and didn’t hesitate to share a story about Rachel’s devotion to him, his ranch, his family and the great friends he made along the way.

Oct 16- Nov 5, 2016 Why I live in rural America
by Doug Thorson, Hereford breeder from Quinn, SD October 16 is a day not soon forgotten if you live in western South Dakota. Ninety degrees in the Northern Plains is not normal for that time of year, add on winds of 40 steady with gusts over that by plenty. It was a normal start, church in the morning, lunch and then a few odd chores. First thing after getting home from church was move a vehicle. Being the nice Dad I am I let my daughter drive us home in our Horned Reserve Grand Bull — TCW Heat Seeker 28M Polled Reserve Grand Bull — C 1311 5280 Lad 6077 side by side.

I could tell it was far enough South that my place was going to be in the clear, but it was also abundantly clear that it was going to take a massive effort to put it out. Shortly before, 911 had been called. Started right along I-90.

HEREFORD AMERICA • January 2017
where they desperately fought to keep it manageable. Dust trails roll out on every gravel and dirt road for 50 miles. A pickup, the man behind the wheel has his heart in his throat and jaw set. Desperately hoping somehow a miracle happens and it gets controlled before he gets there, but if not, I CAN DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What was next was pure chaos. Not once in my life have I thought that this could happen with the equipment we have today. Fences were cut, cattle shoved out of what we thought “in the way” was. Just as soon as we thought we knew what the direction was, the wind hit the back of my neck just as hard as earlier. My only thought was run!!!!!!!! Not for me but the families that lived in the new direction. Helpless is a feeling that most have had. I thought I knew the feeling, could understand it. Standing on a hill southeast of Cottonwood I realized that I had never felt it before. The fire that had charred a path 10 miles long in 2 hours was now 10 miles wide with the wind howling. At least 6 ranch headquarters directly in its path. Dust is still rolling, not just behind pickup trucks but behind fire departments arriving from every corner of the western half of the State. Nearly 300 firefighters, almost all volunteers, from 40 different departments spanning 10 counties. Add on what had to be 500 other helpers. As brutal as Mother Nature can be, change always comes. With the sinking of the sun the winds slowed and the manpower was able to get the upper hand. The terrain was level enough to fight it effectively. Eventually it was unable to consume more and had to be satisfied with burning what it had already started. The heroics of that day were more than can count. Firetrucks smashing through fences just yards in front of flames to save cattle. A young girl who had never drove before helping get vehicles to safety. Everyone gave something. Some young or old could only pray while some gave their eyebrows. Yet in an incredible miracle of everyone working together and keeping their cool each of the primary residences were saved. Almost more amazing was there were no major human injuries. But 41,360 acres lay charred in the wake. Thousands of bales up in flames along with most winter grass, somewhere over 200 miles of fence, barns and other outbuildings along with what stands right now at 284 head of cattle. All of us on the drive home thought there had to be some way we could have done more! And now, after all is burned, crawl in a hole and wish it had never happened. The possibility of any of us making one iota of difference in the cleanup/get back to whatever the new normal is going to be seemed further away than the moon. There needs
www.herefordamerica.com • 63
to be a term over shell-shocked to describe what happened in 7 hours of Hell on Earth. That is right, depending on who you believe on when the fire line was contained it burned from 120135 acres a MINUTE from pickup box size till contained! To paraphrase the song “through the dust and smoke of this man made hell walked a man with a giant idea that nobody knew well.” Still reeling from this I got call from Bob Stanfiel. He is a competition BBQ cook that I had met on 4 occasions. I get to the house at 12:30 a few days after the fire and he has left a message on my phone. “Don’t know what I can do to help but I can cook.” On that day Bob could have walked the streets of Philip unknown. He had catered an event for me but not 15 people in the town would have known they recognized him. Bob called a few of his competition BBQ buddies to hold a fund raiser for fire relief. Free food donated from out of the area cooked to perfection with a free will offering. Philip, SD is a town of 800 people. A sports team is playing out of town, some have to work, hunting season is upon us so everyone with an guest is gone. They pull in to town with 1000 pounds of BBQ meat and start cooking. Mother Nature gave us a perfect day. As if the firefighters had not done enough they pulled their trucks out of the shop, scrubbed the floor and set up tables. A couple guys drive close to 100 miles to pick on their guitars and sing. There is NO WAY a town like this can eat 1000 pounds of meat even counting outsiders with all this going on. Eleven a.m. was the advertised start time. By 11:05 there was a line. At a rate of 300+ people an hour going through, the line at 12:30 it was a full block long. About 2 p.m. that line got to where the wait was only a few minutes. $42,000………………that would be no problem anywhere, right? Free will donation? Six competition BBQ cooks prepared the food for everybody that came. One thousand plus people were served. I tried to catch the guys who were affected and make sure they didn’t pay. One of them replied ”others got it worse than I did” while he dropped $100 in the bucket. An old guy who walks with a cane came. I told him I would get him a sandwich. While I was getting it he handed $100 to the guy with him and left. Couldn’t hear or walk but wanted to help. A cattle buyer from Missouri showed up at 5 p.m. Sorry, the food is gone. He made a donation anyway. I am sure that wherever a person goes it would be the same level of care for their fellow man, right? It would be no problem anywhere to get 800 men to stand shoulder to shoulder to protect someone else’s property, right. Should be easier in the city, right? Since the fire there has been many tons of hay donated and days of labor donated to get fence back up to contain the cows

through the winter. And then the fund raiser. Bob had never met a single person affected by the fire when he called me. One of the first guys in line had driven 100 miles to come. He wasn’t the farthest away when it was over. And the best thing to happen was the handshakes and conversation going on. “Haven’t seen you in a while” was probably the most used phrase of the day as the community got even closer knit, not just the community of Philip but the community of agriculture over a large area. Friendships were re-enforced and friendships made and the ties that bind gladly accepted another knot. There is a part of the human condition that only survives by giving. It
does not live on a large paycheck nor by locking your door and watching TV. You cannot keep it going by not knowing your neighbors or by being suspicious of what somebody else wants of you and always making sure you come out on top. No, if you want it to survive you have to feed it. Know your neighbors, care about their well-being and volunteer for something. It is commonly known as compassion and it’s side effect is satisfaction. It seems to flourish in rural America but seems to be endangered in the cities. I may drive through a city but the only way I will stay there is if you drag my dead body there and dig a deep hole. Maybe you should put a large rock on top if you want to keep me there.
