Notes & News from Anne As we enjoy the Christmas season and the year comes to an end we will all cele-brate with friends and family and plan for the new year. Even with the turmoil of drought and high feed prices, we can celebrate a great year as part of the “Angus family”. Angus seedstock and feeder cattle were in high demand and selling prices reflected that. In Kansas we opened our “home” to over 500 Angus breeders as we hosted the 2012 National Angus Conference and Tour. KAA members joined together as a family to share our history, ranches, state and great Angus cattle . I thank each member that participated in any way, the NAC&T was a great success! Congratulations Esther I am very excited to congratulate Esther McCabe, Elk City—2013 Miss American Angus . She was crowned in Louisville, Kentucky during the events of the American Angus Association Annual meet-ing. (See page 4) I plan to print Esther’s speech and more photos in the January KAN. Congratula-tions to Esther and her family– Randy, Varee, Flinton, Hannah and Ethan. Happy Holidays

The President’ s Pen Season’s Greetings everyone, If you didn’t make it to the National Angus Conference and Tour in early October you missed a fun and educational event. A big thank you goes to our secretary/manger Anne for all her hard work, as well as to all the other Kansas breeders who helped pull the event together. I know it was a lot of work for the host ranches and when the buses pulled out, they probably felt like a tornado had just blown through, stirred everything up real good, and left them standing breathless, wondering what just hit them. A big thank you also to all the additional breeders that displayed cattle at each ranch stop. Some hauled their cattle a long way just to be able to show their cattle to the tour participants and I appreciate the fine display of Kansas Angus cattle they provided. I think our guests were impressed. I know I was. By the time you get this, most everyone will be finished with fall weaning, fall calving, and trying to decide what to breed cows back to this winter. I know a lot of us are still looking for a good runoff rain to provide a winter water supply. Most of the area I have covered this fall has had enough rain to get grass growing again and some have had enough rain to put water in creeks and ponds. But here in east central and much of the northeast part of the state, there has still been no runoff to speak of a most ponds are nearly dry. We had KAA sponsored Pratt Commercial Female sale in early December . Gordon Stucky and his committee did a wonderful job putting that sale together and ranchers consigned a great set of useful females of all classes. For those of you in other parts of the state, it’s probably not to early to start thinking about consigning cattle to one of the other commercial sales we’re planning for spring. There are plans under way to have sales in Holton and Fort Scott, in addition to our usual sale in Junction City as well as a fall sale in LaCrosse. If we get ample moisture through the winter, I think these sales could be really hot. The registered sales I’ve seen this fall seem to be strong in spite of the weather and pasture conditions and I see that as another hint of a great spring market if we can just get some rain. See you on the Angus Trail, Tim Benton Kansas Angus Association President 2012

ANGUS INDUSTRY -News provided by American Angus Association ® Angus Pfizer 50K Available at New Price Improved technology decreases test cost to $75 for Angus breeders. The American Angus Association®, its subsidiary Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI) and Pfizer Animal Genetics are pleased to announce price improvements for the Pfizer® 50K genomic testing program for Angus cattle. Now available at a cost of $75 per test, the DNA analysis still includes parentage as a no-cost benefit with this product. “We are fortunate to see these price improvements, thanks to research collaboration, improved genomic technology and increased test volume,” says Bill Bowman, AGI president and Association chief operating officer. The $75 test is available immediately as a benefit to producers with registered Angus cattle. Also, due to the expansion of the collaborative partnership between AGI and Pfizer Animal Genetics, research scientists are finalizing implementation of the 50K recalibration for release in early 2013. “It’s encouraging to know that even more breeders will have the opportunity to discover additional information on their registered Angus herds, and make improvements for generations to come,” Bowman says. AGI and the Association currently offer updates of the entire National Cattle Evaluation every week – including the 50K results incorporated in genomic-enhanced EPDs – providing the most accurate, rapid genetic feedback available in the beef cattle industry.

National Western Stock Show Nears Make plans to attend the annual Angus events held Jan. 14-19 in Denver, Colo. For many ranch families, the holidays aren’t over until the National Western Stock Show (NWSS). Hundreds will make the trip to Denver, Colo., this January to join in on the 107-year-old tradition. Angus events kick off Wednesday, Jan. 16 and continue through the weekend with shows, sales and other activities. “There’s nothing quite like Denver in January,” says Shelia Stannard, American Angus Association® director of activities and events. “The NWSS is one of our biggest shows of the year, it is home to the breed’s only pen and carload show, and hosts elite Angus sale offerings.” While at the NWSS, stop by the Listening Post in the Yards, where Association, Angus Genetics Inc. and Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB) staff members will be available to visit with producers about Association programs and the cattle industry. The NWSS Angus headquarters hotel, the Marriott City Center, offers a shuttle that travels to the NWSS daily, each morning and evening, as space is available. To make reservations, call the Marriott at 303-297-1300 and ask for the American Angus Association block. ROV Angus Shows Angus activities begin with the Super-Point Roll of Victory (ROV) Angus Bull Show at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 16 in the Stadium Arena. Doug Parrett, Urbana, Ill., will evaluate ROV entries. The Angus Bull Sale Show follows at 12 p.m., and prospective buyers have the opportunity to preview the bulls before the sale begins. A panel of three judges will evaluate the bulls using a composite system to establish a sale order. Judges are Jake Scott, Gordon, Neb.; Bill Davis, Sidney, Mont.; and Dan Shike, Champaign, Ill. Attendees will be invited into the showring to inspect bulls after the grand and reserve grand champions have been selected. The Junior Angus Heifer Show begins at 8 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 17 in Stadium Arena. Paul Hill, Bidwell, Ohio, will judge the junior show. The next day, ROV Angus Females enter the ring, judged by Parrett. The NWSS Angus Pen and Carload Show takes place Saturday, Jan. 19. The only one of its kind, the show begins at 8 a.m. in the Livestock Center Auction Arena. Rick Blanchard, Firebaugh, Calif., Rob Thomas, Baker City, Ore., and John Grimes, Hillsboro, Ohio, will serve on the three-judge panel evaluating the group competitions. Immediate show results will be available online and accessed through the Association’s smartphone application, Angus Mobile. A complete event schedule, showring videos, event photos and breaking news alerts are also available by downloading the app. Angus Events and Sales Following the bull shows Jan. 16, the 2013 Angus Foundation Heifer Package will sell at 3:30 p.m. in the Beef Palace Auction Arena at the Stock Show Complex. Immediately after, approximately 4 p.m., the National Western Angus Bull Sale begins. Eddie Burks, Park City, Ky., will serve as auctioneer during the sale, which is managed by the Association. Events wrap up Jan. 16 with Angus Night on the Mountain II at Spruce Mountain Ranch. A fundraising event for the Angus

Foundation, the night is free and open to the public. Spruce Mountain Ranch will provide the bus transportation to and from the ranch, beginning at 5:30 p.m. However, the ranch will open at 3 p.m. for those who would like to drive out early and see the facility before dinner. The Angus Foundation will auction off a limited number of packages, such as family vacations, hunting or fishing outings, leisure trips and weekend getaways. Spruce Mountain Ranch is also offering a heifer lot to benefit the 2013 National Junior Angus Show (NJAS). In addition, the auction features 15 lots of Spruce Mountain Ranch’s finest Angus genetics.

The Ten KS Breeders Who Registered The Most Angus The 10 producers who registered the most Angus beef cattle in the state of Kansas recorded a total of 5430 Angus with the American Angus Association® during fiscal year 2012, which ended Sept. 30, according to Bryce Schumann, CEO of the American Angus Association. The 10 top recorders in Kansas are: Gardiner Angus Ranch Inc, Ashland, 1678-head; Rock'n R Angus Ranch, Plainville, 667; Stratford Seedstock, Pratt, 593; Everett L Benoit, Esbon, 501; Harms Plainview Ranch, Lincolnville, 368-head; Dalebanks Angus Inc, Eureka, 358; Galen & Lori Fink, Randolph, 345; Flying S Ranch, Saint Francis, 321; Black Velvet Cattle, Mankato, 304-head; Mill Brae Ranch LLC, Maple Hill, 295. Angus breeders across the nation in 2012 registered 315,007 head of Angus cattle. “Our year-end statistics continue to demonstrate strong demand for Angus genetics and solidify our long-held position as a leader in the beef cattle industry,” Schumann said. “These results underscore our members’ commitment to providing genetic solutions to the beef cattle industry.”

Esther McCabe, Elk City, was crowned the 2013 Miss American Angus at the 2012 North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) Super Point Roll of Victory (ROV) Angus Show, Nov. 12 in Louisville, Ky. Esther, the daughter of Randel and Varee McCabe, will represent the Angus breed at numerous beef industry events during her reign. The American Angus Auxiliary sponsors the Miss American Angus contest, held annually at the NAILE. Five college youth compete for the honor after winning the Auxiliary’s top scholarships at the National Junior Angus Show earlier in the year. The competition includes a written quiz, an interview and public speaking before a panel of three judges. Esther is the 45th Miss American Angus, and will travel the country as an ambassador for the breed. Photo by Carrie Heitman, American Angus Association.

Dear KJAA Members, This is my favorite time of the year! Many factors play into this, one obviously being holiday and family time. . Another reason of course is getting to pick out your new show heifer for the upcoming year. My brother, Ethan, and I have had our show cattle in Manhattan with us this semester and Esther, my sister, comes up on weekends to help. It may have taken me a few years to realize this, but I have come to truly appreciate the hours that we get to spend together, working towards a goal. This time in your life flies by so quickly. Doing chores may not be at the top of your 'fun list', but looking back, that is what I remember most about my chores growing up, because we made it fun. So take advantage of the opportunities and the people around you who want to help you succeed. That is what shapes you into who you are. Have a great holiday season. I hope to see many of you at the Angus events January 26-27 in Hutchison including the Futurity Junior Show, entry deadline is January 10, see page 5 for an entry form.

At the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), Morgan participated in the poster, livestock judging and quiz bowl contests. She also participated in the mentoring program in 2012. The Bronze and Silver awards are the first two levels of the NJAA Recognition Program that began in 1972. Junior Angus breeders must apply for the awards, then meet point requirements in many areas of participation before receiving the honors.


The 2012 National Angus Conference and Tour celebrates the breed’s Kansas roots. When Scotsman George Grant journeyed to the United States with four Angus bulls, he set his sights on the Kansas Prairie. The year was 1873, and once they arrived, the cattle became the basis of what is now the world’s largest beef breed. And Kansas is where it all began. Recently more than 400 Angus cattlemen and women celebrated that history while attending the 2012 National Angus Conference and Tour (NAC&T), held Oct. 3-5 in a number of locations across the state. Industry speakers, ranch visits, and feed yard tours were just a few agenda items, but most of all, Angus producers enjoyed gathering with old friends and meeting new ones from across the country.

“At this year’s National Angus Conference and Tour, we really came full circle,” says Bryce Schumann, chief executive officer for the American Angus Association®. “Back to the land that was the Angus breed’s first home; and as a Kansas native myself, I could not be more proud of our breed’s history.” Themed “Come

Home to Kansas,” the NAC&T was hosted by the Association and the Kansas Angus Association, along with sponsorship support from Land O’ Lakes Purina Feed LLC. The first day was the conference portion of the event, which included educational seminars in Wichita, Kan. Topics centered on “Beef Improvement, Angus-style” and involved speakers in academia and Association staff. “It’s important for producers to be involved in a number of educational opportunities across the beef sector,” says Bob Weaber, Kansas State Extension Specialist and conference speaker. “And certainly the NAC&T is a great one for Angus enthusiasts to come learn about technology and development that is focused on Angus cattle, and impact their utility and desirability in the entire production system.” Following the conference, participants enjoyed two days of ranch and feed yard visits featuring the state’s top Angus genetics. From learning about grass management in the Flint Hills to feed yards in Western Kansas – the state offered a variety of experiences. Wednesday, Oct. 3 Filled with rich Angus heritage, the tour started with a bang at McCurry Brothers Angus in Sedgwick, Kan., a third-generation family-owned-and-operated Angus ranch. The stop included a chuck wagon meal, complete with homemade ice cream and a live band. Team roping and mounted shooting competitions also took place, and several Association staff and board members felt right at home in the saddle. “We were excited to be a part of the tour because of our long history in the Angus business,” Greg McCurry says. “It’s just exciting to see people you know from events, read about, and talk to on the phone to

come to your ranch and look at your facilities.” Also during the dinner, INTRUST Bank of

Wichita, Kan., presented the Angus Foundation a check for $20,000 for the first phase of

the “The $75,000 Card Challenge.” As an effort to increase the number of Angus Platinum Visa® credit cards, the challenge has been extended through the end of the

year. If 300 additional credit cards are activated, INTRUST Bank will donate another

$25,000 to the Angus Foundation.

Thursday, Oct. 4 Located in the heartland of Kansas, the first tour stop Thursday was the 6N Ranch owned and operated by Chris and Sharee Sankey. Sharee Sankey says attendees were able to see the different facets of the state represented at their ranch with several area seedstock operations on display: “When they leave from Kansas they will know we are a cattle state and it is cattle country. We just hope they can take away a good image of Kansas from our ranch.” The tour rolled on to Fink Beef Genetics in Randolph, Kan., and a pasture stop at Lyons Ranch in the Flint Hills. The stops included Angus cattle, plus education on conservation tactics for the tallgrass prairie in the Flint Hills. The day ended with a riverside meal at historic Cottonwood Falls. Participants had the opportunity to explore shops and the French Renaissance style courthouse overlooking Main Street. Friday, Oct. 5 With a crisp Kansas wind and early sunrise, the tour headed west on Friday to Pratt Feeders of Pratt, Kan., a Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB) -licensed feed yard. Here, tour-goers listened to General Manager Jerry Bohn explain the importance of feed-yard maintenance and health, and why they strive for excellence through the Certified Angus Beef® brand. The tour then headed south through red-dirt roads and rolling hills to Gardiner Angus Ranch in Ashland, Kan., and drove through the Gardiner open-range pasture and feedlot. While at Gardiner Angus Ranch, participants were able to view the recently retired GAR Predestined bull, which was the all-time, top semen selling bull for Select Sires. “It’s important to bring folks where a lot of things happen from the range environment to the feedyard and the processing plant,” says Mark Gardiner, Gardiner Angus Ranch. “At the NAC&T, all cattlemen can come together and converse, and in turn, we can better understand how to become better as a beef industry as a whole.” Participants were also able to view the Giles Ranch of Bucklin, Kan., as they headed toward the last stop of the trip, Stucky Ranch of Kingman, Kan. Owner and operator Gordon Stucky spoke to attendees about his use of genomic technology to improve accuracy in his herd selection decisions. The final evening was a perfect conclusion to the 2012 NAC&T, as Angus friends enjoyed their meal together and Angus calves played before a Kansas sunset.
