Editors’ Comments<br />
Happy New Year everyone. I hope<br />
you all had a nice Christmas and holiday<br />
season.<br />
Congratulations<br />
are in order for several<br />
of our friends.<br />
First, Mike Stahly<br />
from Cavour, SD,<br />
was selected as the<br />
new president of SD<br />
Cattlemens. He and<br />
his wife Judy, son<br />
Jill Hotchkiss<br />
Doug and daughter-in-law Chris have<br />
a commercial cattle operation by<br />
Cavour which is just east of Huron,<br />
SD. Mike is a past president of the<br />
SD <strong>Hereford</strong> Association and is a<br />
current board member of Ridgefield<br />
Farms-SD. He is a very deserving<br />
and capable individual. Congratulations,<br />
Mike!<br />
Congratulations also go out to<br />
Steve and Amy Nuhsbaumer of Zell,<br />
SD on the birth of their baby girl<br />
Charley in November. Amy is our<br />
(continued on page 4)<br />
A new year is upon us and we hope<br />
that <strong>2005</strong> will bring us peace,<br />
prosperity and further advancement<br />
in the <strong>Hereford</strong> industry.<br />
Pauline and I had<br />
the opportunity to<br />
visit daughter<br />
Kathy and her<br />
husband, Randy in<br />
Mississippi for<br />
Thanksgiving. We<br />
took the big bird<br />
this trip as the<br />
Byron Bayers<br />
weather was not good. We were<br />
routed through Dallas and the<br />
weather was so bad that the field was<br />
closed for a short while as the<br />
thunderstorms passed. That meant<br />
that we had to travel through them<br />
on our way to Memphis. We were<br />
running about two hours late and the<br />
young pilot was anxious to get on<br />
his way knowing it would be a<br />
demanding trip. It was the roughest<br />
airline flight that I have ever made<br />
and I have been at this for over a<br />

USDA Re-opens Border to Live<br />
Cattle Imports Destined for Harvest<br />
by Pete Hisey<br />
12/29/04 for Meatingplace.com<br />
March 7, <strong>2005</strong>, will mark the end of<br />
the 19-month-old ban on the importation<br />
of live Canadian cattle into the United<br />
States, the U.S. Department of<br />
Agriculture announced Wednesday<br />
afternoon, December 29th.<br />
Under the rule,<br />
to be published in<br />
the Federal<br />
Register on Jan.<br />
4, Canada is<br />
recognized as the<br />
first minimal-risk<br />
region due to its<br />
“effective bovine<br />
spongiform<br />
encephalopathy<br />
prevention and<br />
detection<br />
measures.”<br />
Beginning in<br />
March, cattle<br />
under 30 months<br />
of age may be<br />
imported to the<br />
Long-time <strong>Hereford</strong> Breeders Honored<br />
The <strong>America</strong>n <strong>Hereford</strong> Association<br />
(AHA) recently rolled out the red carpet<br />
to honor families who have stood the test<br />
of time and are dedicated to the <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
breed. Golden and Century honorees have<br />
been breeding registered <strong>Hereford</strong> cattle<br />
for more than 50 and 100 years. Honorees,<br />
family and friends were treated to an open<br />
house and reception at the AHA<br />
headquarters on October 24 and were<br />
recognized at the<br />
AHA Annual<br />
Membership<br />
meeting on<br />
(cont. on page 6)<br />
Montana <strong>Hereford</strong> breeders in the business for 50 or more years were recognized at the MHA banquet last<br />
month. Pictured are back row, left: Jean Landers, Don Jones, Laurence Hess, Cory Dutton, Doug Sidwell,<br />

United States provided they are clearly<br />
branded with a large “CN,” denoting<br />
Canada; are shipped by sealed<br />
conveyance to only one feedlot; and are<br />
then sent directly to slaughter at a USDAcertified<br />
plant.<br />
“USDA is confident that the animal and<br />
public health measures that Canada has<br />
in place to prevent BSE, combined with<br />
existing domestic safeguards and<br />
additional safeguards provided in the final<br />
rule, provide the utmost protections to<br />
U.S. consumers and livestock,” the<br />
agency said in a published statement.<br />
Requirements for minimal-risk status<br />
under the final rule are:<br />
• prohibition of specified risk materials<br />
in human food.<br />
• stringent import restrictions to keep<br />
BSE out of the region.<br />

about five years and is doing very well<br />
with their product.<br />
While the product is similar to Certified<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Beef don’t confuse the two companies—there<br />
are some major differences.<br />
Ridgefield’s clientele is primarily the<br />
high-end restaurant trade along with country<br />
clubs and small niche market grocery<br />
stores. (See page 5 for a few photos.)<br />
After a whirlwind equity drive within<br />
the state of South Dakota this summer $19<br />
million dollars was raised to fund construction<br />
of its own state-of the art, beef<br />
processing facility in Huron, SD. Yes,<br />
building! Not only has this increased the<br />
awareness of the <strong>Hereford</strong> breed, its benefits<br />
in a crossbreeding program and the<br />
absolutely fabulous beef our breed produces,<br />
it is giving cattle producers in South<br />
Dakota and the surrounding states another<br />
avenue to market their beef. If you or anyone<br />
you know would like back issues of<br />
our paper in which we ran news features<br />
on this project please contact us. We<br />
would be glad to send the articles to you.<br />
You can also access information and construction<br />
photos on the company’s website<br />
at www.rfsd.com<br />
Everywhere we go people are asking us<br />
questions about the new packing plant. I’d<br />
like to address some of the more frequently<br />
asked questions here. First of all,<br />
construction is on schedule. At the present<br />
time all of the site preparation has been<br />
finished and closed up for the winter.<br />
Concrete will be poured in early spring.<br />
Another frequently asked question is<br />
about out of state cattle. They will be taking<br />
out of state cattle. I think there is some<br />
confusion on this point due to the SD Certified<br />
Program which I will address later.<br />
At 600+ head per day Ridgefield will be<br />
procuring cattle from outside the state of<br />
South Dakota. The breed requirements for<br />
their Premium <strong>Hereford</strong> Beef line, which<br />
is estimated to make up 40% of their daily<br />
harvest, is at least 50% <strong>Hereford</strong> with the<br />
remainder being another English breed<br />
such as Angus, Red Angus, South Devon<br />
or Shorthorn.<br />
The proposed South Dakota Certified<br />
program which is a state-endorsed program<br />
is primarily a marketing system for<br />
beef from South Dakota. In a nutshell the<br />
program stamps its South Dakota Certified<br />
label on beef from cattle that are born,<br />
raised, fed and processed in the state of<br />
South Dakota. The idea of cattle being<br />

Premium <strong>Hereford</strong> Beef like it’s going out of style! Manolis sold 6,000 lbs. of meat in 8 days<br />
prior to the holidays. Primarily Ribeyes, Tenderloins, and Strips were sold with 80% of that<br />
being Ribeyes. The past 2 months they have averaged about 3,000 lbs a week. Sounds<br />

Jill’s Editorial...<br />
(continued from page 4)<br />
raised in a pristine Midwestern state is an<br />
appealing concept to many people especially<br />
those in metropolitan areas. In other<br />
words it is a giant marketing tool. Any beef<br />
processor in the state meeting these requirements<br />
can use the SD Certified label<br />
which would fit in nicely with the Ridgefield<br />
program. At the present time the state<br />
has no breed requirements for this program,<br />
however, in my opinion, <strong>Hereford</strong>s<br />
and baldies are still the breeds of choice<br />
within the Ridgefield system. The SD Certified<br />
program is in its infancy so many<br />
details are bound to change by the time it<br />
is implemented.But don’t confuse Ridgefield<br />
with the SD Certified Program. They<br />
are separate.<br />
Oh Canada — not again. Is it my imagination<br />
or have the last two years ended<br />
with some form of North <strong>America</strong>n BSE<br />
event and subsequent announcement from<br />
the USDA in regard to the US/Canada border?<br />
At press time we received the news<br />
of the border reopening in March, followed<br />
just hours later by an announcement of a<br />
possible new Canadian BSE case in a 10-<br />
year-old dairy cow. In this issue we have<br />
compiled several news articles on these<br />
subjects. In all of this it baffles me that<br />
USDA would let cattle for slaughter cross<br />
the border but not breeding cattle. In my<br />
logic it should be the other way around if<br />
the issue really is BSE-related. But as<br />
usual, money and politics are the governing<br />
powers and the big 3 seem to be getting<br />
their way once again. We’ll see how<br />
it shakes out.<br />
Happy New Year everyone!<br />

Breeders Honored<br />
(continued from page 1)<br />
October 25 in Kansas City.<br />
More than 400 <strong>Hereford</strong> families were<br />
honored as either an <strong>America</strong>n <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
Association Golden or Century Award<br />
Recipient. Each honoree has maintained<br />
an interest in the <strong>Hereford</strong> breed from 50<br />
- 100 years and continues to remain active<br />
within the association.<br />
“The <strong>Hereford</strong> cattle, and the families<br />
who believe in them, have been an<br />
influential part of the development of the<br />
beef industry and especially the <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
breed,” said Jack Ward, <strong>America</strong>n<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Association’s Chief Operating<br />
Officer and Director of Breed<br />
Improvement. “The Golden and Century<br />
Awards represent a tremendous milestone<br />
that very few families who are involved<br />
in production agriculture rarely see and<br />
we commend the dedication and longevity<br />
of these families. ”<br />

Introducing<br />
Churchill Hummer 3126<br />
Churchill Hummer is a young bull with that rare<br />
combination of power and style! He is thick quartered, deep<br />
ribbed, athletic and pigmented. His sire, MVP, breeds as much<br />
thickness, ribeye, and fleshing ability as any bull I’ve ever<br />
seen. Hummer has this same power with loads of eye<br />
appeal. His total performance from birth to<br />
yearling to carcass is terrific!<br />

working hard on the carcass<br />
characteristics for several years and the<br />
ranchers are taking notice. 105 bulls<br />
averaged over $2,400 and they all went<br />
to commercial breeders with no big<br />
toppers. This is one ranch location people<br />
don’t come to for the free lunch, they<br />
come for business. This is a cowboy ranch<br />
location, high desert, chilling wind, a<br />
ways from town, and the scenery is<br />
different. This is one of the hardest<br />
working families that I have ever known,<br />
they deserve a good sale.<br />
December brought on our Montana<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Association annual meeting<br />
which is held at the same time and location<br />
as the MT Stockgrowers Association<br />
convention. This year Phil Friend,<br />
President and CEO of Ridgefield Farms,<br />
was invited to speak on the new packing<br />
plant that is being built in Huron, SD, and<br />
which will feature Premium <strong>Hereford</strong><br />
Beef. Phil flew in from Huron with several<br />
of his staff and picked up Marc and Jill<br />
Hotchkiss in Buffalo, SD on their way to<br />
Billings. Phil also provided the Premium<br />
<strong>Hereford</strong> Beef for the banquet that night.<br />
Phil, during his talk, showed pictures of<br />
the progress of the plant and gave the<br />
crowd details of the planning. A very<br />
interested crowd listened intently to the<br />
presentation.<br />
The MT <strong>Hereford</strong> Assn. paid tribute to<br />
all the <strong>Hereford</strong> breeders in MT that have<br />
been in the business over 50 years.<br />
Fourteen were honored but I am sure<br />
some were missed as the AHA missed<br />
some very important breeders in their<br />
recognition at the annual meeting this year.<br />
Honored by the MHA this year were<br />
Anchor (Hinderager’s), Bayers, Brooks,<br />
Cooper, Feddes, Fort Keogh, Holden,<br />
Isbell, Landers, Nelson Polled, Schock,<br />
Sidwell, and Story. Those that were<br />
missed should notify <strong>Hereford</strong> <strong>America</strong><br />
so we can mention your firm. We did not<br />
make the list up but we can correct an<br />
oversight. Our ranch was one of those<br />
honored and this makes the 86 th year of<br />
our operation.<br />
It seems like many ranchers are also<br />
good football fans and in all of our area<br />
of the country teams from the cattle<br />
countries have done well. Montana played<br />
for the Division 1AA championship,<br />
Wyoming won their bowl game,<br />
Oklahoma plays for the big championship,<br />
Boise State is undefeated as is Utah, and<br />
both in bowl games, Texas and Texas<br />
A&M, Texas Tech, Texas EP, OK State,<br />
and New Mexico, are all in bowl games.<br />
I am sure the Nebraska fans will look<br />
forward to their return to power. Colorado<br />
is in the big show and our smaller Carroll<br />
College was national champion in their<br />
division. I have missed some of your<br />
favorite teams playing but the point is that<br />
most ranchers like football and follow their<br />
teams. I am one of them, being an old<br />
Grizzly who played way back in the 40’s,<br />
I can relive the dreams.<br />
I hope to see many of you readers in<br />
Denver this <strong>January</strong> for the big National<br />
Western. So long until then.<br />

Not enough and too much:<br />
industry reacts to Canadian<br />
border rule change<br />
by Pete Hisey on 12/30/04 for<br />
Meatingplace.com<br />
USDA’s decision to adopt a final rule<br />
reopening the Canadian border to live<br />
Canadian cattle seems to have made no<br />
one happy. Proponents of keeping the<br />
border closed, like R-CALF USA, charge<br />
that USDA has been sloppy, unscientific<br />
and premature in adopting the rule. Proponents<br />
of opening the border say there<br />
are still too many limitations, such as the<br />
30-month age maximum, placed on trade.<br />
J. Patrick Boyle, president of the<br />
<strong>America</strong>n Meat Institute, said in reaction,<br />
“Science and international beef and cattle<br />
trading guidelines set by the Office of<br />
International Epizootics (OIE) both say<br />
that the United States should permit<br />
imports of Canadian cattle regardless of<br />
age.”<br />
Bill Bullard, chief executive of R-CALF,<br />
also cited OIE, noting that while we have<br />
now classified Canada as a minimal-risk<br />
region, the OIE, essentially the<br />
international standards-setting body for<br />
disease regulation, has not classified<br />
Canada as such. He also said that the 30-<br />
month limit is far too high, and that for<br />
safety’s sake, the acceptable age should<br />
be much lower, closer to the Japanese<br />
standard of 20 months.<br />
Rosemary Mucklow, executive<br />
director of the National Meat Association,<br />
called the decision tantamount to<br />
“outsourcing our cattle slaughter industry.<br />
They will allow the meat from a 30-month<br />
old animal into the country, but not the<br />
actual animal.” She says that once NMA<br />
digests the entire rule, it may appeal to<br />
USDA to issue an emergency regulation<br />
allowing for import of cattle of all ages.<br />
Both sides will have 60 days after the<br />
rule is published on Jan. 4 to lobby<br />
Congress to overturn or modify it, and<br />
given the degree of unhappiness evident<br />
in the industry on Wednesday afternoon,<br />
there may be some bitter battles in<br />
Congress, as members with varying<br />
constituencies and interests battle it out.<br />
The rule will go into effect on March 7<br />
unless Congress takes explicit action to<br />
stop it.<br />
One implication of the rule is that other<br />
countries could quickly apply for minimalrisk<br />
status, and would have to live up to<br />
the same set of rules the USDA applied<br />
to Canada. While this rule is specific to<br />
Canada, other nations meeting the criteria<br />
could apply for their own rule.<br />
The rule is also set up to prohibit<br />
breeding cattle from being imported. All<br />
cattle imported must go directly by sealed<br />
conveyance directly to one, and only one,<br />
feedlot, and from there to a USDA-

<strong>America</strong>n market to absorb, Bullard noted dozens of countries refuse to allow<br />
certified slaughterhouse. That<br />
specification, along with clear, permanent<br />
branding of the cattle to make it clear that<br />
they are of Canadian origination, is meant<br />
to keep the two national herds from<br />
merging.<br />
R-CALF’s Bullard, however, noted that<br />
USDA is allowing a loophole. Although he<br />
had not had time to read the entire rule,<br />
he said that the indication is that rules<br />
about the removal and disposal of<br />
specified risk materials (SRMs) such as<br />
brains and the spinal column would be<br />
similar to those applicable to <strong>America</strong>n<br />
cattle. That means that unless such a<br />
loophole is closed, some SRMs, in addition<br />
to blood, which is not an SRM, could be<br />
rendered into feed for poultry and the<br />
resultant poultry litter, possibly infected<br />
with prions from infected Canadian cattle.<br />
Litter could then be introduced to feed<br />
given to U.S. cattle. That in effect<br />
circumvents the ruminant-to-ruminant<br />
feed ban, Bullard said.<br />
Bullard also charged that “it is<br />
irresponsible of the agency to relax food<br />
safety guidelines” just as the United States<br />
is entering the final stages of negotiations<br />
with countries such as South Korea and<br />
Japan to open their markets to <strong>America</strong>n<br />
beef again.<br />
As for USDA’s contention that the 2<br />
AMI launches suit against USDA<br />
by Pete Hisey on 12/30/04 for<br />
Meatingplace.com<br />
The <strong>America</strong>n Meat Institute has filed a<br />
lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in the<br />
District of Columbia demanding an end to<br />
the ban on the importation from Canada of<br />
cattle 30 months of age or older. In the<br />
complaint, the association charges that the<br />
ban on older cattle is “scientifically<br />
insupportable and is therefore arbitrary and<br />
capricious.”<br />
by Pete Hisey on 1/3/05 for<br />
Meatingplace.com<br />
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency<br />
confirmed on Sunday, Jan. 2, that the<br />
suspected case of bovine spongiform<br />
encephalopathy found in an Alberta dairy<br />
cow has tested positive for the disease.<br />
The animal was about 8 years old and<br />
was born before the ban on bovine<br />
products in cattle feed was instituted. The<br />
discovery is not expected to endanger the<br />
recent decision by the U.S. Department of<br />
Agriculture to reopen the border to cattle<br />
under 30 months of age.<br />
In a statement released Monday morning,<br />
Ron DeHaven of USDA’s Animal and Plant<br />
Health Inspection Service said, “USDA<br />
AMI is making a fine distinction. It is not<br />
opposing the new rule on importation of<br />
cattle announced Wednesday; rather, it is<br />
challenging enforcement of the original<br />
May 2003 ban, which underlies the<br />
qualification in the newly published rule<br />
that only cattle under 30 months of age may<br />
be imported alive. Products from older cattle<br />
may be imported, however.<br />
That is leading to financial stress on<br />
<strong>America</strong>n processors, according to Mark<br />
Canadian BSE case a positive<br />
remains confident that the animal and public<br />
health measures that Canada has in place,<br />
including the removal of specified risk<br />
material (SRMs) from the human food chain,<br />
a ruminant-to-ruminant feed ban, a national<br />
surveillance program and import<br />
restrictions, combined with existing U.S.<br />
domestic safeguards and additional<br />
safeguards announced as part of USDA’s<br />
BSE minimal-risk rule … provide the utmost<br />
protections to U.S. consumers and<br />
livestock.”<br />
He added that under the minimal-risk<br />
rule, Canada could have as many as 11<br />
confirmed cases of BSE and still be<br />
considered a minimal-risk country.<br />
Dopp, AMI senior vice president for<br />
regulatory affairs and general counsel.<br />
While he can’t quantify the damage with a<br />
hard number, Dopp charged that slaughter<br />
plants are “going dark” all over the country<br />
and that the government’s ban on older live<br />
cattle is forcing Canada to develop a<br />
slaughter industry that will compete with<br />
that of the United States.<br />
“The May 2003 border closing has<br />
caused Canada to expand its slaughtering<br />
capacity by building new plants and adding<br />
shifts to existing plants,” AMI said in a<br />
statement released to coincide with its<br />
press conference Thursday afternoon.<br />
“Meanwhile, many U.S. packers have been<br />
hit hard economically by short cattle<br />
supplies and high prices for lean beef and<br />
cows. And ultimately, the consumer has<br />
paid the price in the form of higher prices<br />
for beef and products made from beef.”<br />
AMI is asking the court to allow the<br />
importation of live cattle born after Canada<br />
instituted a ban on including ruminant parts<br />
in feed fed to its cattle in 1997.<br />
Dopp said that the potential BSE case<br />
announced by the Canadian government<br />
Thursday would have no effect on either<br />
the rule or AMI’s lawsuit.<br />
