Presidents Letter Greetings Hereford breeders. Welcome to our late Winter issue of the Trends. This is a very busy time of year for our breeder members and customers as many are in the midst of or soon to begin calving, preparing for our show and sale at the Beef Expo. We had an excellent turnout at our annual member meeting and banquet at the Der Dutchmen in Plain City on February 2. Our educational seminar earlier that afternoon was very informative. Dr. Steven Boyles, Beef Nutritionist Ohio State University, shared information and guidance on the nutritional needs of the cow and considerations on meeting her requirements as she prepares for calving, with special emphasis on balancing her diet utilizing our less than ideal hay supply this winter. One or our own members and Director Bill Dunn, gave a presentation on Certified Hereford Influence Feeder Calf sale in Carthage Illinois on January 6. Your Board encourages those breeders and members to contact a director or John Meents if you are interested in participating in a Certified Hereford Influence sale. This offers our breeders and customers an opportunity to capitalize on their genetics in a sale of Hereford and Hereford-influenced calves sold in load lot groups for significant dollar premiums. We greatly appreciate both of these gentlemen for taking the time out of their schedules to prepare and deliver their presentations. We were very proud to recognize the Ostgaard family as our Buckeye Hall of Merit inductee this year, thank you Ostgaard Family for the slide show and for being Hereford Folks, we are truly honored and humbled by your service and support of our breed for so many years – THANK YOU!

Further two of our Directors retired this year after two terms of service – thanks to Jeff Harr and Marsha Farno (also thanks for serving as President of the Board). Our Hereford Women introduced this year’s royalty; Riley Evoniuk as Junior Princess, Emma Handrosh as Princess, and Ashleigh Osborn as Queen. We also welcome our new Directors to the Board; John Founds and Joe Toth beginning their first term and commencing his second term Bill Dunn. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Ohio Beef Expo this year at the state fairgrounds in Columbus. The Buckeye Hereford Association Show will be held at noon in Cooper Arena on March 20 and the Sale on Saturday March 21 at noon in the Voinovich Center next to the Expo Trade Show. The Hereford breed is as strong as it has ever been, our members have put together a fantastic offering of bulls, cow/calf pairs, replacement heifers, and show heifers this year in numbers as strong as we have ever had. Come watch the show on Friday, enjoy donuts and coffee courtesy of the Ohio Hereford Women on Saturday morning and then grab a seat on the bleachers for the Sale at noon. Thank you to all of our members for your support of our breed and the Buckeye Association, your board continually tries to offer more opportunities and activities to our members. Have a safe and enjoyable end of winter and beginning of spring. We look forward to seeing you in Columbus the third weekend in March – a great time, the beginning of March Madness and HEREFORDS!

A MINUTE WITH THE MEENTS It is exciting to move into the year 2020. Last year seemed to be a challenge for all in agriculture. The hopes and dreams for a new decade, a new year and new begining is upon us. My new year started out with a bang. The 13th Annual Greater Midwest Certified Hereford Influenced Feeder Calf Sale set all kinds of records. A total of 1865 head were weighed, graded and sorted in two days for this year’s sale which is a 20% increase in head count. The sale grossed over $1.5 million with 93 consignors from 10 states participating. There were exactly 1000 head of Hereford steers that made the top grade, and they averaged $945 per head. The 95 black baldies averaged $887. The 536 Hereford heifers averaged $767 with the 70 black baldie heifers at $724. A negative to this year sale is that there were 164 head of odd lot cattle. Those are cattle below 350# or over 950# that looked old. Other reasons for odd lot cattle were bad eyes, not castrated, horned, very thin, bad feet, unsound, or sick looking. Fees to sell odd lot cattle will be much high in another year. My next trip was attending the 2020 Denver National Western Stock Show. What a great event it was! So many fantastic Hereford cattle both in the yards and on the hill. 6 B U C K E Y E H E R E F O R D A S S O C I AT I O N
I believe the bull show was the BEST EVER. The cattle were the soundest that I have seen in a decade. Congratulations to all the winners! Congratulations to all exhibitors on making Herefords better! There were 93 Hereford bulls and 189 Hereford females that showed. In the yards, there were 26 pen of three heifers, 2 bull carloads, and 33 pen of three bulls that walked into the arena. All show results can be found on the AHA website: www.hereford.org The Mile-High Sale and the Mile-High Eve sale were both strong again in 2020 with very large crowds in attendance. Those sale results can also be found on the NEW Sale Results page on AHA website with more information than ever before. I am looking forward to attending the many state meetings, state consignment sales/expos, and breeder’s production sales this spring. I also look forward to meeting new members and visiting with long time members. REMEMBER… MAKE YOUR CATTLE BETTER TODAY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO MARKET THEM TOMORROW!

Understanding Hereford EPDs The American Hereford Association (AHA) currently produces expected progeny differences (EPDs) for 15 traits and calculates four profit ($) indexes. Research is ongoing to develop traits for fertility, feed intake and docility. Today, DNA-marker tests can be used to enhance the accuracy of Hereford EPDs. AHA blends marker information with phenotypic information and pedigree to produce a GE-EPD. Look for the GE-EPD logo denoting an animal has been tested. The current suite of Hereford EPDs and $ indexes includes: Calving Ease – Direct (CE) CE EPD is based on calving ease scores and birth weights and is measured on a percentage. CE EPD indicates the influence of the sire on calving ease in females calving at 2 years of age. For example, if sire A has a CE EPD of 6 and sire B has a CE EPD of -2, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would be born with an 8% more likely chance of being unassisted when compared to sire B’s calves. Birth Weight (BW) BW EPD is an indicator trait for calving ease and is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a BW EPD of 3.6 and sire B has a BW EPD of 0.6, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would come 3 lb. heavier at birth when compared to sire B’s calves. Larger BW EPDs usually, but not always, indicate more calving difficulty. The figure in parentheses found after each EPD is an accuracy value or reliability of the EPD. Weaning Weight (WW) WW EPD is an estimate of pre-weaning growth that is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a WW EPD of 60 and sire B has a WW EPD of 40, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would weigh 20 lb. heavier at weaning when compared to sire B’s calves. Yearling Weight (YW) YW EPD is an estimate of post-weaning growth that is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a YW EPD of 100 and sire B has a YW EPD of 70, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would weigh 30 lb. heavier at a year of age when compared to sire B’s calves. Maternal Milk (MM) The milking ability of a sire’s daughters is expressed in pounds of calf weaned. It predicts the difference in average weaning weights of sires’ daughters’ progeny due to milking ability. Daughters of the sire with a +14 MM EPD should produce progeny with 205-day weights averaging 24 lb. more (as a result of greater milk production) than daughters of a bull with a MM EPD of -10 lb. (14 minus -10.0 = 24 lb.). This difference in weaning weight is due to total milk production during the entire lactation.
Maternal Milk & Growth (M&G) Maternal Milk & Growth reflects what the sire is expected to transmit to his daughters for a combination of growth genetics through weaning and genetics for milking ability. It is an estimate of daughters’ progeny weaning weight. A bull with a 29 lb. M&G EPD should sire daughters with progeny weaning weights averaging 19 lb. heavier than progeny of a bull’s daughters with a M&G EPD of 10 lb. (29 minus 10 = 19 lb.). It is equal to one-half the sire’s weaning weight EPD, plus all of his MM EPD. No accuracy is associated with this since it is simply a mathematical combination of two other EPDs. It is sometimes referred to as “total maternal” or “combined maternal.” Maternal Calving Ease (MCE) MCE EPD predicts how easily a sires daughters will calve at 2 years of age and is measured on a percentage. For example, if sire A has a MCE EPD of 7 and sire B has a CE EPD of -3, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s daughters would calve with a 10% more likely chance of being unassisted when compared to sire B’s daughters. Mature Cow Weight (MCW) The MCW EPD was designed to help breeders select sires that will either increase or decrease mature size of cows in the herd. The trait was developed after years of cow weight data collection and the EPD relates directly to the maintenance requirements of a cow herd. For example, if sire A has a MCW EPD of 100 and sire B has an EPD of 85, then you would expect the females of sire A, if mated to similar cows, to be 15 lb. heavier at mature size. Udder suspension (UDDR) UDDR EPDs are reported on a 9 (very tight) to 1 (very pendulous) scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters’ udder characteristics when managed in the same environment. For example, if sire A has a UDDR EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a UDDR EPD of -0.1, the difference in the values is 0.5, or one-half of a score. If daughters of sires A and B are raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score better udder suspension in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B. Teat size (TEAT) TEAT EPDs are reported on a 9 (very small) to 1 (very large, balloon shaped) scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters’ udder characteristics when managed in the same environment. For example, if sire A has a teat size EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a teat size EPD of -0.1, the difference in the values is 0.5, or one-half of a score. If daughters of sires A and B are raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score smaller teat size in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B.
Scrotal Circumference (SC) Measured in centimeters and adjusted to 365 days of age, SC EPD is the best estimate of fertility. It is related to the bull’s own semen quantity and quality, and is also associated with age at puberty of sons and daughters. Larger SC EPDs suggest younger age at puberty. Yearling sons of a sire wth a .7 SC EPD should have yearling scrotal circumference measurements that average 0.7 centimeters (cm) larger than progeny by a bull with an EPD of 0.0 cm. Carcass Weight (CW) Carcass weight is a beneficial trait when considering the impact that pounds have relative to end product value. At the same age constant endpoint, sires with higher values for carcass weight will add more pounds of hot carcass weight compared to sires with lower values for carcass weight. For example, if sire A has a CW EPD of 84 and sire B has a CW EPD 64, then you would expect the progeny of sire A, if harvested at the same age constant endpoint, to have a 20-lb. advantage in terms of hot carcass weight. Rib Fat (FAT) The FAT EPD reflects differences in adjusted 365-day, 12th-rib fat thickness based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with low, or negative FAT EPDs are expected to produce leaner progeny than sires with higher EPDs. Ultrasound measures are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale. Ribeye Area (REA) REA EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day ribeye area measurement based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with relatively higher REA EPDs are expected to produce bettermuscled and higher percentage yielding slaughter progeny than will sires with lower REA EPDs. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale. Marbling (MARB) MARB EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day marbling score (intramuscular fat, [IMF]) based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Breeding cattle with higher MARB EPDs should produce slaughter progeny with a higher degree of IMF and therefore higher quality grades. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale. Baldie Maternal Index (BMI$) BMI$ is a maternally focused index that has a production system based on 1,000-Hereford x Angus females with a progeny harvest endpoint directed toward Certified Hereford Beef (CHB®).
This index is more critical of CE than the Brahman Influence Index (BII$) and also has significant weight on fertility. There is positive weight on WW and a slightly negative weight on YW, which promotes early growth and then a slow down on growth to keep mature size manageable. The emphasis of IMF is greater than the emphasis of REA. This is true because of the price difference of the Choice-Select spread and the fact that there is very little incentive to produce cattle better than a Yield Grade 3. This index is geared to service any commercial program that has Britishcross cows. Calving Ease Index (CEZ$) This is a general purpose index that focuses on identifying bulls that can be used on heifers and then ultimately the calves will be marketed through the CHB program. As you might expect, CE and MCE carry significant weight in this index along with fertility. There is very little weight put on growth traits and less emphasis on carcass. Remember, this is a general index that is specifically designed to be used in a heifer program. Brahman Influence Index (BII$) BII$ is a maternally focused index that is based on a 1,000-head cow herd of Brahman x Hereford cows. The progeny for this index will be harvested in a commodity-based system since CHB does not accept Brahman-influenced cattle into the program. This index has less emphasis for CE than any of the other indexes. There is emphasis on both REA and IMF since the cattle will be harvested through a commodity market. The largest emphasis is in fertility, which is measured solely by SC at the present time. Obviously, the target for this index is the producers in the Southern regions of the U.S. where the bulls are typically sold to commercial cattlemen that have Brahman-influenced cow herds. Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) This is a terminal sire index that is built on a production system where Hereford bulls sire calves for the CHB market. There is some pressure put on CE and then positive weight on both WW and YW. Remember that all offspring in this index are harvested, so they need to be born alive and then grow fast at all stages of life. Of course, we have much more emphasis on fat in this index, as we want the cattle to stay lean. There is also a significant weight on both REA and IMF with more emphasis again on IMF. This index would be used by producers who have a target of producing bulls for a terminal breeding program. It could be used heavily in the Midwest where bulls are used in rotational breeding programs to produce cattle in a retained ownership program or are simply sold to backgrounders. This is the only index that has no emphasis on fertility. Remember that nothing is retained in the herd. TRENDS 9
In Loving Memory Kenneth W. Bonnette BELMONT, NEW HAMPSHIRE--Kenneth Wilfrid Bonnette, 87, of Oak Ledge Farm, completed his earthly tasks on Monday, October 21, 2019, at 3:30 a.m. in his beloved home after a period of failing health. Kenneth was born on August 26, 1932, in Troy, NH, son to the late Rudolph and Ina (Koski) Bonnette. He was nurtured by his grandparents, Eino and Sylvia Koski and Aunt Taimi in Troy, NH, until high school when he moved to Westmoreland. Kenneth graduated from Keene High School in the class of 1950. Kenneth served in the U.S. Air Force from 1951-1955, where he was a POW in Korea. He did a 3 year military apprentice with R.E. Beane Construction Company in Keene, NH, where he became a job superintendent. In 1969, Kenneth, along with Douglas Stone and Carl Page, founded Bonnette, Page and Stone Corporation. In 1970, they relocated to Laconia, and Bonnette, Page and Stone Corp. became one of the largest commercial construction firms in the state of New Hampshire and is still operating today. Kenneth’s happiest memory and achievement was being a private pilot.

In 1980, the Oak Ledge Farm was built in Belmont and its first fair was in 1983. In 2009, Oak Ledge had Show Bull of the Year, Show Heifer of the Year, and 2009 Premier Exhibitor of the Northeast Region of the United States from American Hereford Association. The last of the animals were sold in 2016. Kenneth is survived by his wife of 62 years, Elaine Turner Bonnette; two daughters, Marjorie and her husband, Bruce, and Nancy and her husband, Dan; seven grandchildren, Jesse, Jonathan, Shawna, Kelly, Matthew, Karen, and Mark; two half-sisters, Carol and Susan; a step-brother, Richard; and many great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. In addition to his parents, Kenneth was predeceased by a daughter, Sylvia; a step-father, Richard W. Delano; and a step-sister, Millicent. A Private Burial was held. For those who wish, the family suggests that a memorial donation may be made in Kenneth’s name to the Kenneth Bonnette Family Scholarship Fund, NH Charitable Foundation, 37 Pleasant Street, Concord, NH 03301 -(memo- “Kenneth Bonnette Family Scholarship Fund”).
