Our industry is experiencingsome unbelievable times. Theprice of cattle at the commercial

level is at an all-time high. The pricesbeing reported in purebred sales areeven higher for everysegment of the industry.The value of all beef cat-tle is sending a numberof mixed signals throughout the indus-try. This is a good time to review theseissues for the Shorthorn Breed. During times like this, breeders have

tendencies to follow the advantages forquick returns, without the foresight ofthe future. This market run is like nonewe have seen. The number of cows outthere is so low, the restocking rate andtime to return to the numbers of thepast decade will take years. The lastreport I saw in Drovers CattleNetworknoted fewer cows in the United Satesthan we had in 1951. This is a big state-ment when comparing the growth inhuman population and the amount ofbeef produced today compared to 1951.The genetic improvement in our prod-uct has reached marks that wereunimaginable when you consider feed-ing America in 1951 compared to feed-

=Association Outlook

ing America in 2014, with roughly thesame number of cows in production.The primary reason this has tran-

spired is the purebred/registered cattleindustry, namely, the genetic improve-

ments made by eachbreed in America. Wecan pat ourselves onour back (for just a

minute) as we look on these improve-ments. A great deal of technology wasdeveloped during this span of 50 years,beginning with the recording or weigh-ing calves at weaning age to gage thetrue performance of the cow, the calfand the calf ’s sire. The earliest formulasfigured for adjusted weaning weights sobreeders could make comparisons. Thenthe technology of EPDs came along sowe could compare animals within abreed from different herds.Now, with multi-breedEPDs, we are able to comparedata across breeds that havecommon data banks. Todaywe have DNA markers iden-tifying the genes impacting our per-formance data, so we can predict pro-duction with Genomic EPDs. It wouldbe unfair to give credit only to the pure-

Reaping the Harvestbred segment of our industry. The com-mercial cattle breeder has used thesesame tools to improve their productionover the past 50+ years, too. The com-mercial breeder represents the majorityof the number of cows in the U.S. Hisdisciplined planning and selecting ofgenetic material has been the lifebloodof this mammoth increase in productiv-ity. Considering the good times and thebad times over the past 50 years, pro-ducers would not have survived withoutincreased production and efficiency byboth commercial and purebred breed-ers. Now is the time to get prepared for

the good times. I fully understand thedecision to sell off replacements whenthe return is this high. But, is it reallyhigh enough? Just look back over the

past two to threeyears since the down-sizing of America’scow herds startedand the continuedincrease in prices. If

we retained replacements two or threeyears ago and had them in productiontoday, look at the return, compared towhen they were calves. I believe breedersshould consider what that replacementcould provide for them over the nextfew years compared to the return today.Today’s replacements, whether regis-tered or commercial, should providemore dollars over a four to five year win-dow than we can walk with today. Wemay be selling the factory or giving upassets that will be needed down theroad. Think of it like selling off landbecause it was high and then looking atthe returns lost over the next few years.That is why it is so important to laydown a plan today as a registeredShorthorn breeder to be ready for thefuture and to have the product that willreturn maximum dollars over the nextfew years. I haven’t even mentioned thegenetics that would be lost. Theseyoung animals that could be sold off arethe result of the careful selection ofgenetic improvement for both registeredand commercial breeders. If we take thequick return, we may be shooting our-selves in the foot by not being posi-tioned with the proper genetic pack-ages. It is nearly impossible to replace

“I cannot remember seeinga more positive time to bein the beef business and/orthe Shorthorn breed.”

“Now is the time to get pre-pared for the good times.”

that annual genetic improvement. Lookat the years from 1951 to today and theamount of improvement in our indus-try. This would not have happened ifthe young genetic improvers are notretained and registered for the future. Here are some facts that

provide more security tocharge forward today inthis breed and industry.These numbers are from articles inDrovers CattleNetwork and other pub-lications received this past month. Doyou know that the U.S. accounts for 5%of the population in the world? TheU.S. accounts for 7% of the cow num-bers in production in the world. TheU.S. produces 20% of the beef in theworld. Think about what our technolo-gy has done for world protein source ofbeef. Exports are up over 10% since thefirst of the year. The shortage of goodbeef is a worldwide issue. The U.S.stands to gain the lion’s share of themassive market for quite some time.U.S. beef consumption is up and equals32% of the protein used by Americanconsumers. I cannot remember seeing amore positive time to be in the beefbusiness and/or the Shorthorn breed. Ahigh demand at the commercial levelgenerates increased revenues for thepurebred segment. The future could notbe brighter. Breeders and producers

should plan and be prepared with theright registered Shorthorn herd num-bers and genetics for some of the bestyears our industry has ever seen!This demand for beef in the U.S. and

the world is for a quality product. Theold days of anything willdo will not work in thefuture. When the price ofbeef is this high, the

demand is for quality. Consumers arewilling to pay more for quality. Americaand the world are doing the same withbeef. So how does that affect theShorthorn breed? We have the God-given genetic attributes that contributeto a quality product. Now is the time todocument it and get the records onpaper and attached to the individualanimals like some of our competitorshave done. I want to quote HarlanHughes from Drovers CattleNetwork“You can’t manage what you don’t meas-ure”. This statement may be the mostpowerful seven words this breed needsto understand. To move forward weneed to measure and document every-thing to show the world what we haveto offer. That means every breeder andevery animal needs data to identify thebest or the better ones that will prepareus for the great markets and timesahead. We are in the purebred cattlebusiness and we sell our cattle by the

head; the value totally correlates withthe price per pound and the acceptancelevel in the commercial cattle industry.Folks, we have a great breed that can dosome awesome things for the beefindustry. Let’s identify them and showthe industry what we have to offer.Breeds that have an acceptance in thecommercial cattle industry have addedvalue to their purebred cattle and showcattle. Look around and see what otherbreeds are doing; it’s not rocket science;it’s believing and working together as aunit to add more value to all segmentsof the breed! The new multi-breed EPDs is just the

first step in this direction. The need forWhole Herd Reporting and data on allanimals is imperative to success.Genomic EPDs are just around the cor-ner for Shorthorn. Carcass data is need-ed to prove our cause. When we have itall in place and cooking, it will be easyto promote how we have changed andwhat we can offer. This is how we canprepare for the great times ahead in theShorthorn breed and cattle industry.Those that prepare themselves withadded inventory of high quality docu-mented registered Shorthorn geneticswill reap the most bountiful harvests! =

“Woooooo, Pig! Sooie! Razorbacks!” This year’s annual KEY conference

held in Fayetteville, Arkansas drewJunior Shorthorn breeders from acrossthe country. For three days ShorthornJuniors joined forces with juniorHereford and Maine-Anjou breeders todevelop their personal leadership skillsand expand their knowledge on thebreeds they work so hard to represent.110 beef breeders came together in lateJuly to experience all that Arkansas hasto offer while spending time together. Opening session was filled with learn-

ing and laughter as the social mediadirector for Tyson Foods shared thepower of social media platforms withmembers. Krista Cupp helped each andevery member use their social mediatools to share their Agricultural story.Needless to say, Facebook and Twitterreceived a lot of action from beef breed-ers that evening. Then former NationalFFA President Levy Randolph fromTyson showed us the power of commu-nication. Through workshops thatmixed up members, participants had tocommunicate silently to complete tasks.After wrapping up an intense game of

‘Chairs’ everyone headed to the Baconranch for a tour and dinner, AmandaBacon from the Junior HerefordAssociation and her family took thetime to show the group around theirfacilities where they raise Hereford cat-tle alongside club lambs. After dinner afriendly competition between breedsensued on the Volleyball court. On Monday the group headed into

Fayetteville to Tyson Food. After hear-ing from Donnie Smith, CEO of TysonFoods, groups were split up to taketours of the New Product Developmentoffice and to the product developmentkitchens to make Pizzas for lunch. Nexteveryone had the chance to participatesensory tests, discovering how sensesdiffer from person to person and thentaste test a new product being offered byTyson. Following a delicious meal ofhomemade pizza it was back on thebusses and off to Crystal Bridges ArtGallery and the Walton’s (Wal-Mart)Museum. Members viewed beautifulartwork and architecture at CrystalBridges before heading to the originalWal-Mart for a scavenger hunt and icecream. Later that evening it was off to

Branson, Mo., all went aboard theBranson Belle River Boat for dinner anda show. After our meal the FACES ofLeadership dance took place on the topdeck of the riverboat on Branson Lake. Our final day in Arkansas was spent

at the University of Arkansas, GoRazorbacks! After lectures fromUniversity Poultry professors studentshad the chance to interact with Ag Lawstudents before heading out to theAnimal Science department for lunchand workshops with the AgCommunications and Educationdepartment. Students practiced theirauctioneering skills while discussingleadership characteristics and thenhoned their Public Relations ability.After all the fun and games at The U ofA it was time to head out to SpringWillow Farms for a tour and dinner.After checking out the Walker familiesbeautiful facilities we were treated to adelicious BBQ meal. Members then hadthe chance to head to a water park foran evening of fun to beat the heat. Thenext day everyone shared goodbyes andheaded home, chock full of fun memo-ries and experiences.

Juniors Unlock Leadership Potential at KEY CONFERENCE IN FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS



A Clear Focus at Clarmont FarmMeganBrehm

director ofcommunications &marketingI arrived a day early to the 2014

Shorthorn Junior National Show inLouisville, Kentucky and made thedrive to Maysville, Kentucky. The tripproved to be a valuable experience:witnessing firsthand the tremendousvalue Shorthorn cattle can bring tocommercial cattle herds. After one hundred forty miles of

picturesque country sidedriving from Louisvilleto Maysville through theheart of Kentucky’sthoroughbred horse andbourbon country, Ifound myself wrappedup in the natural beauty of the state’swinding roads, abundant trees, andlarge open green pastures. Nestled in the hills of Northeastern

Kentucky, Maysville is home ofClarmont Farm, a Shorthorninfluenced commercial herd operatedby the Clarke Family for over 100years. After following winding roadsand a few missed turns later, I arrived atClarmont Farm, a striking farm withrolling pastures and ponds. Approximately 120 Shorthorn/Angus

influenced cows make their home atClarmont. The herd is based strictly onperformance traits in growth, terminalcarcass traits and profitability. The herdcalves in both spring and summer withapproximately a quarter of calvingcompleted in the fall months. Clarmont Farm has been operated by

the Clarke family in continuoussuccession for over 100 years. Theoperation began in 1913 with rowcrops, hay and cattle. In the early daysof the farm, all cattle were purebredShorthorn seedstock. Reese Clarke,founder of Clarmont Farm, bought andsold cattle over a large region spanningfrom Canada south. Since then, manychanges have occurred at the farm, butone constant remains, a love for highquality cattle. Today, the farm isoperated by Craig & Janet Clarke andTyler & Kenzie Clarke. Tyler is thefourth generation family member toraise cattle at the farm. Jeff Jones, FarmManager, is also credited with much ofthe farm’s success. Jones is a naturalcattle enthusiast with a heart for thefarm, second to none. Beginning in the 1980’s the focus of

the farm shifted from a purebredShorthorn operation to an Anguscommercial program with someShorthorn influence. Over the years,the Clarke’s noticed that performancequality had gradually been decreasing.It was time for a change. In effort toincrease performance within the herd,attention shifted back to the Shorthornbreed. The Clarke’s needed a

crossbreeding tool toincrease maternal andcarcass traits. Shorthornswere the solution. “Wesimply looked atShorthorns as the

quickest way to improve our cattleherd; particularly in regards to growthand birth weights,” stated Tyler Clarke.“I spent a tremendous amount of timeresearching how we could build inmany of the performance traits weneeded to return to our herd.Shorthorns easily made their way to thetop for crossbreeding potential.” Clarmont Farm’s herd is comprised

of nearly all Angus/Angus cross cows.All cows at the farm are selected forcarcass and maternal traits. All bulls atClarmont are nowShorthorn; they mustmeet rigid standardsfor quality. Any bullselected for use in theiroperation must bebacked by heavy dutyperformance data. Theend goal for theClarmont operation isterminal beef; geneticdecisions must bemade that are reflectiveof that goal. Bulls areselected to be in thetop 1% of WeaningWeight and YearlingWeight EPD’s for thebreed, along with asolid maternal geneticbackground. Bulls haveprimarily beenpurchased from theWaukaru herd,Rensselear, Indiana.Bulls from Waukaruhave been predictable in their geneticoutput, largely due to the tremendousamount of performance data collectedfrom their herd. Bulls have been

cross calves have easily outperformedtheir straight Angus calves from yearsbefore. The crossbred Shorthorn/Anguscalves have been quite versatile,recording higher weaning weights andhigh meat quality. “We are extremelypleased at how well the Shorthorncattle have adjusted to theirsurroundings and thrived. They haveadapted well to drought and roughwinters with ease, all while keepingtheir high quality maternal traits. Ourgoal is to produce high qualityconsumer focused beef. Shorthornshave been up to the task and haveimproved our end productdramatically.”Evidence of the quality the


“We simply looked atShorthorns as the quickestway to improve our cattleherd.”

Shorthorn breed can bring tocommercial cattle herds is clearly visiblethrough the results obtained atClarmont Farm. The Clarke’s are ableto offer a new anddifferent perspectivefor purebredShorthorn breeders asa customer of thebreed. What could Shorthorn dobetter? What direction should breedersaim towards in the future? Tyler Clarkebelieves the answer lies primarily inpromotion and education. “TheShorthorn breed must establish apresence within the commercial beefindustry as a proven, quality, answer forcrossbreeding and herd improvement.As an association, effort needs to be

directed towards supporting thecommercial segment of the industrywho purchase Shorthorn genetics. TheShorthornPlus program has a

tremendous product,but customers must bemade aware of the valueand performanceassociated with adding

Shorthorn influence to their herd.”With continued interest in theShorthorn breed, the concept willcontinue to expand, but efforts to growwill expedite the growth. Examples ofareas Clarke believes could make adifference include establishment of adatabase of supply chain for Shorthorngenetics and mass marketing ofShorthorn influenced stockers.

Overall, the Clarke’s are extremelysatisfied with the impact Shorthorncattle have made on their herd. Ascommercial breeders, the added valueto their calves has been dramatic. Sincereincorporating Shorthorns back intotheir genetic lineup, the Clarke’s haven’tlooked back. As I made the return tripto Louisville, my thoughts shifted fromthe scenery around me to the road theShorthorn breed is travelling.Shorthorn and ShorthornPluscomposite cattle have a bright future instore. “The future is bright for theShorthorn breed, we couldn’t be moreenthusiastic to utilize all Shorthorn hasto offer,” stated Clarke. =

“Shorthorns have been up tothe task and have improvedour end product dramatically.”

Shorthorn youth will again benefitfrom the generosity of the AmericanShorthorn Association members. In itsthird year, the Leading a Legacy Sale willbe held as a fundraiser for the NationalJunior Shorthorn Youth Conference &Show, held each year in June as a week ofleadership activities, contests andnetworking opportunities for juniorShorthorn enthusiasts. Headlining this year’s sale will be a

heifer donated by Mark Gordon, Rockin’G Land and Cattle, Middletown, Illinois.The heifer, a SULL Red Reward andSULL Mirage Forever 8121 daughter issure to be a crowd pleaser at the sale.Additionally, many more items will beavailable at the auction, including anautographed guitar from the Eli YoungBand. The sale will be held October 18,2014, hosted by Sullivan Farms, Dunlap,Iowa. One hundred percent of theLeading a Legacy Sale proceeds willbenefit the American Junior ShorthornAssociation. Half of the sale returns willsupport the 2015 Junior National to beheld in Grand Island, Nebraska and theremainder to benefit the 2016 JuniorNational. Following the sale, a casinonight will be held for attendees to supportthe American Junior ShorthornAssociation, while enjoying an evening offun with fellow Shorthorn breeders andsupporters. Since the inception of Leading a

Legacy, profits from the sale havecontinued to increase each year. Supportfor activities of the American JuniorShorthorn Association is strong andmatches growing membership to theorganization. Mark Gordon is passionate about

Shorthorn cattle and the future of the

breed. The same passion and driveprompted Gordon to donate a heifer tothe Leading a Legacy Sale. “I don’t believethat there is a better cause to support,”stated Gordon, “Youth are the future ofour breed; I’d do anything for thejuniors.” When asked what the Shorthorn junior

program means to him, Gordonemphasized that the leaders of tomorroware being shaped today. The AmericanJunior Shorthorn Association’s role in thelives of junior members is very importantin who they will become. When youthparticipate in American Junior ShorthornAssociation activities, they are preparingthemselves to be a successful individual inthe future. The youth activities promoteand encourage knowledge of the breedamong juniors. “A great aspect of AJSAprograms is keeping kids interested anddriven to continue their involvement inthe breed long after their junior days havepassed,” Gordon stressed.“The Shorthorn breed is special; the

activities offered to youth, matched by thesupport from breeders, has built a closeknit family atmosphere that is unmatchedby other breeds,” said Gordon. TheAmerican Junior Shorthorn Association isa vitally important piece of the puzzle increating leaders for tomorrow’s beefindustry. When Shorthorn youth areprepared to lead and promote Shorthorns,the breed can only grow and benefit. Gordon believes that the Shorthorn

youth program has truly set itself apart asa frontrunner in agriculture youthdevelopment. “Tomorrow’s world willhand more challenges to our youth, asthose in agriculture are asked to provide afood source for more people with less landand resources. Tomorrow’s leaders in the

American Junior Shorthorn Associationwill be posed to take charge in a positivelight,” predicted Gordon. “Youth have atremendous opportunity to make a hugeimpact in the world. Our youth programin the Shorthorn industry buildsfriendships, family values, and leaders forthe future.” Matched with a breed ofcattle that thrive in many differentenvironments and are versatile enough tomeet the needs to the industry, success iscertain.Gordon and his father Bob now

operate Rockin’ G Land and Cattle, apurebred Shorthorn herd nearMiddletown, Illinois. The Gordon’sprimary objective is to sell breeding stock,with emphasis being placed on highquality service to customers. Most cattleare marketed through private treaty andShorthorn consignment sales. Mark iscurrently serving as the Vice-President ofthe American Shorthorn Association. Inaddition to duties at the farm, Mark is themanager of Croft Fertilizer Service, Inc., afull service fertilizer, chemical and seeddistributor.The American Junior Shorthorn

Association would like to offer a sincerethank you to Mark Gordon for hisgenerosity and dedication to theShorthorn breed. Thank you!Please join fellow Shorthorn breeders

for a night of fun and support of thejunior program Saturday, October 18,2014 at Sullivan Farms in Dunlap, Iowafor the Leading a Legacy Sale.

Farewell

Shorthorn Country is featuring articlesaimed to help you become more familiarwith each Board of Director member. Theboard is passionate about serving the needs ofmembers and ensuring the success ofShorthorn cattle well into the future. Marty Loving’s roots run deep in the

Shorthorn business. Over 60 years ago, hisfather and grandfather started a purebredShorthorn herd that would spangenerations of Loving family members.Today, the Kansas operation continues toexcel in Shorthorn production with manyof the same founding principles that wereestablished many years ago. Beginning in the 1950’s the Loving

family built a herd of Shorthorn cattleaimed to please commercial bull buyers.To make the cut at Loving Farms, femalesmust possess extreme maternal traits andconsistently produce a calf with industryrelevant growth and carcass traits. Bulls areselected to incorporate low birth weights,growth, performance and carcass traits.Due to the commercial market Loving

Farms has created for its cattle, datacollection is extremely important.Important data is kept and analyzed forfuture breeding decisions and as a point ofreference for customers. A typical customer of Loving Farms

could be a commercial Angus breederseeking an alternative crossbreedingoption for his herd or a purebredShorthorn producer. In a circumstanceinvolving a commercial breeder, theShorthorn breed is appealing for manyreasons, including a compatible Britishbreed base, low birth weights, growth andcarcass abilities. Customers appreciate theconsistency of Shorthorn cattle at LovingFarms. As a board member of the American

Shorthorn Association, Marty is able touse his real world experience producingShorthorn cattle and apply it towardimproving the breed as a whole. Lovingreflected that serving as a board memberhas been a particularly enjoyableexperience, “The board is truly a group of

Meet Your American Shorthorn Association Boardof Director Member: Marty Lovingby Megan Brehm, Director of Communications and Marketing

forward minded, good people, focused toimprove the Shorthorn breed.” New ideasthat have surfaced over the past few yearsas a board member include increasedemphasis on EPD’s, technology, and surgein stressing the importance of datacollection. “The breed is movingforward,” Marty commented, “Shorthornbreeders are aiming efforts to producefunctional and performance minded cattlenow more than ever.” Loving Farms is operated by the Loving

family in Pawnee Rock, Kansas. Martyand wife Karen lead the operation alongwith their son Scott and daughter-in-lawAmanda. =

Wow, I cannot believe it's almost beena whole year since being crowned the2013-2014 National Shorthorn LassieQueen in Louisville! First off I want tothank God for giving me the opportunityHe has put in my life and the capability torepresent such a well-rounded breed.Secondly to my parents, Kelly and Wendythank you so much for chaperoning me,financially supporting me and putting upwith my sassy attitude. Lastly I could nothave had such a fulfilling year without myfabulous home state, Texas. The Lone StarState hasn't had a National Queen in 13years so you can only imagine how it feltto bring that title home. The breeders thatgave monetary donations, encouragementletters or advice are probably some of thebest things I have taken away from thisexperience. It's amazing to see what anassociation can do when we work togetherand help one another, and let me tell you Icouldn't be any prouder to represent theTexas Shorthorn Association and theTexas Junior Shorthorn Association. During my reign I made it to every

major show in the State of Texas, a fewsales and the national shows while being afull time student at Texas Tech University.I love it when breeders reach out andinvite me to events, sales or shows! Onething that I hope y'all find as cool as I didwas my recent vacation to Europe. Whiletraveling abroad I visited two Shorthornbreeders in the United Kingdom, MountPleasant Farm in Pitsford Hill andWindover Farm in Butcombe. The firstbreeders that we visited were Keith andGill Turner in Pitsford Hill; a sweet oldercouple who had originally started inCharolais and after a tragic event theyrebuilt the herd from the ground up usingShorthorn. After five to eight years of fine-tuning and carefully selecting genetics,they have some of the best award winningpasture cattle in the area. The Turner'smay have a small herd however they havea commercial mentality when they breed,sell and eat their cattle. Their hospitalitywas impeccable and the sincerity of theminviting me into their home to eatShorthorn beef is something I won'tforget. Lastly the well-seasoned showmanout of Butcombe had an amazingselection of cattle that had genetics fromall over the globe. New Zealand, Scotland,England, Canada and Australia are just afew countries that Brenda Wear had onher lush green section of land in thevalleys of North Somerset County. Herviewpoint of what those bloodlines meant

to her and how well she has placed ininternational shows is nothing short of aneat experience. Brenda took me thoughthe steps of how they prepare for a cattleshow and what they do get ready. Quite abit different from how things are in thestates but for people headed to shows inEurope it's efficient. In the UK they havea program call Certified Shorthorn Beef,just like you'd see the Certified AngusBeef in the states. When you buy, sell ortrade Shorthorn Cattle they have to havetheir "passports" or for us known aspedigree papers to ensure the quality ismaintained and therefore they can keeptrack of all the cattle in their nationalregistry. Overall it was a pretty coolconcept for me to absorb while visitingthose breeders, if you want to furthereducate yourself on this topic you can likeBeef Shorthorn Cattle Society UK onFacebook and visit their website,http://www.shorthorn.co.uk. Can youimagine Shorthorns having some kind ofcheckoff program in the U.S. thatcompetes with Angus? I can. Once again thank you so much ASA

and AJSA for enhancing my experience asQueen. To Christine and Elaine theNational Co-Queen Chairs, GwenCrawford and her Junior Board, ShellySpearman the Texas Queen Chair and thewhole National Lassie and Texas LassieAuxiliary for helping me and your kindwords throughout my reign. Lastly thankyou to Sydney Miller for being a greatQueen Alternate and always having aburning passion for the Shorthorn breedand Lassies, I wish you all the bestfinishing up college and graduating soon!See y’all in Louisville!

Shorthorn love and mine,

For all that are involved in the cattleindustry sale season is underway.Everyone is looking for the next greatone, but before you start your adven-ture, here are a few tips to help you

along the way. 1. View the cattle in person- Make

sure that you always evaluate the live-stock you are purchasing in person, asopposed to seeing the animals on an

online sale for the first time. What youcan see through your eyes can not beshown correctly on a computer. Thisguarantees that you are seeing the cattlefor what they really are and you can seethem in motion.

2. Study your breed, the genetics, andEPD’s- This includes the traits that yourbreed is known for offering, the geneticsthat work well together and forExpected Progeny Differences (EPD).After looking at these qualities, makesure they work well with your herd andthe direction in which you would like itto go.

3. Talk to the breeders- The breedersare one of your most valuable assets.They know what works well with theircattle and more importantly see themon a daily basis. Most breeders will beupfront with you as they want to builda strong breeder-client relationship thatwill hopefully make them money in thefuture.

4. Have multiple options/realize yourprice range- Especially when purchasingcattle in an open auction, having a planB is always necessary. Sometimes the topof your list are outside of your pricerange, so it’s good to have anotheroption at the same farm, or at anotherlocation.

5. Don’t get auctionized- Never beafraid to say no, because you can alwaysget back in when things settle down.Make sure you buy cattle that youplanned on buying, don’t just buy onebecause you are there and everyone elseis buying.

6. Buy cattle for what they are worth-Make your purchases based on truevalue, not because you can get onebought within your price range.Otherwise, it will be difficult to make areturn on your investment.

7. Don’t have buyer’s regret- Be con-fident in your purchases and in yourability to help them reach their maxi-mum potential.

Hopefully these tips will be beneficialthis upcoming sales season and forfuture sale seasons. Always rememberit’s more important that you are happywith your cattle than the judge becauseyou see them every day. =
