The President’s Pen
I hope this letter finds everyone warming up as we move toward spring. Most of
the state has experienced some much needed moisture this winter in the form of
snow. The weather may be unpredictable but we can count on the Angus breed to
be a steady leader in the cattle industry. The Angus breed has many tools to offer
commercial and registered breeders to move their programs forward. The KAA
will be sponsoring a commercial female sale in Junction City this spring. I encourage you and your customers to participate in this sale or any of the others KAA sponsors throughout the year. The cattle market has never been better and it is a great time to merchandise cattle.
Early bull sales have set a good bench mark for bull prices and many more sales will soon be underway. I look forward to seeing you at some of the upcoming sales around the state this spring.
In looking to the future, the traditional committees of board members were slated at a recent board
meeting. One of these committees in the long range planning committee and I would like to hear
any input from members on suggestions, ideas or general thoughts you think may be pertinent for
this committee and the progress of KAA.
As always please contact myself or fellow board members if you have any questions or concerns.
Good luck with your upcoming sale, calving season and breeding season. Spring is coming and
with it a lot of brand new beginnings.
Kansas Angus Association President, 2014
Notes and News from Anne
In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of
weather inside of four and twenty hours. ~Mark Twain
As I am completing this issue of the KAN, we are experiencing spring like temperatures, melting snow and wind all while bracing for another blast of winter. What else
could it be in Kansas but February coming to a close and March blowing in ?
As I am hopeful that winter will soon change to spring and bring rain, I am just as excited for the
“season” that is upon ranchers– or should I say “seasons”? - calving and bull sale.
I wish each KAA member the best during this “season” as you market your bulls and celebrate
the birth of each new calf while planning for the very near next “seasons” of breeding and going to
grass.

CAB Momentum Pays Record Premiums
Nearly 30% of total $450 million paid since 2011
Market premiums paid for cattle that earn the Certified Angus
Beef ® (CAB®) brand trademark more than doubled recent annual totals to
reach the neighborhood of $50 million. The brand’s 10 years of increasing
demand and seven years of sales records left some Angus producers
wondering how that affects their bottom line. Results from the biennial
survey of CAB-licensed packers in January shines a halogen beam on the
answer. There were plenty of hints. In 2011, a 45% increase in grid
premiums to $32.3 million did not in itself constitute a trend. But USDA’s
mandatory reporting, never known for overstating, showed 2012 starting
with a CAB premium of $8 per hundredweight (/cwt.).
Apparently, that mark was often revisited in 2012 to bring about the 60%
single-year further increase to a record $51.6 million paid. The previous
record of almost $40 million was 10 years earlier in a turbulent world
market affected by bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or “Mad Cow
Disease”) and trade barriers. The $47 million in CAB premiums paid in
2013 was more than double the $22.9 million paid in 2010. All of the data
comes from CAB’s “Here’s the Premium” project that has surveyed
packers to gather total dollar grid premiums paid since 1998. They report
totals for the aggregate, and although Certified Angus Beef LLC tracks
volume sold by packer, it does not know the share of cattle each buys on a
grid. The top four CAB packers produced more for the brand in each of the
past two years and paid record amounts to producers. Even as cattle
numbers have declined, more and more sell on value-based grids that pay
direct CAB premiums. The share of live cash trade to grid, contract or
formula pricing moved from a balance in 2005 to 67% grids by 2011 and
last year Cattle-Fax reported that number at 76.9%. Boxed beef prices
were a concern for commodity producers early in the last decade, as the
trend line for USDA Choice beef met resistance at $150/cwt. Some saw
that as a sign to forget trying to please consumers and focus on cost
cutting. Others focused on making beef worth a higher price. CAB cutout
climbed higher across five years, from less than $147/cwt. in 2009 to more
than $203/cwt. last year. Packers say their cash bids reflect estimates of
potential for CAB and USDA Prime grading cattle, too. Regardless of how
the cattle are sold, premium quality pays. “Demand for branded and
premium products from the consumer has increased as the economy has
improved, and food service is probably the biggest winner,” says Alan
Smith, director of protein research and risk management for CattleFax.
“Given higher prices, consumers want more assurances of a good eating
experience and are willing to pay for it,” he says. “Everyone who handles
or supplies the premium product sees revenue or margin gains.” Missouri
economist Scott Brown agrees. “The work invested over the years has
resulted in CAB’s position as a brand consumers trust for a consistent and
great eating experience,” he says. As all beef prices push still higher
Brown says, “The market advantage for CAB, and that momentum, will
only accelerate.” Looking at CAB grid premiums paid over time, it took
nearly 30 years to garner half of the $450.8 million paid for the share of 40
million CAB-accepted cattle sold on grids, while nearly 30% of that total
was paid in the last three years. Brown says it’s important for Angus
producers to keep their focus. Balancing supply and demand has been a
CAB hallmark for 35 years, but at the scale of selling 865 million pounds
per year, much hangs in the balance.
“If demand for CAB product outstrips supply, consumers will begin to
search for alternatives,” he says. “It’s clear that Angus producers’ focus on
genetics that include marbling has put money in their pockets, but they
must work to ensure there is an adequate supply, or risk losing those
premiums.” Of course, most producers don’t own their calves through the
finishing phase, but information has integrated the market so that some
premium reaches everyone who makes the effort to aim for quality.
4 ▪ March/April 2014 ▪ Kansas Angus News
Dividing total CAB grid premiums over the last few years by the number of
cattle accepted for CAB equates to nearly $15 per head, but many
ranchers realize more like $15/cwt. On the other hand Brown says, “You
can begin to see the end of the market for average cattle in this country,”
other than growing discounts. But solutions are in reach: “Advances in
genetic prediction and breeding technologies make a step up to premium
production an easy and relatively low-cost prospect for most commercial
producers.”
Producers Confident in Today’s Tools, Angus Genetics
Angus breeders like Sydenstricker Genetics manager Ben Eggers, Mexico,
Mo., say the Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand’s impact, and their ability
to respond, grow in tandem with the record premiums paid.” In the earlier
days of CAB we often heard, “Where’s the premium?” I haven’t heard that
in quite a while,” Eggers observes. “The value of superior carcass merit is
well documented now, and many top commercial cattlemen have reaped
the benefits. As that ‘pull through’ effect grows even stronger, I think we’ll
see even more increase in beef demand as the average quality increases.”
At the calf level, the soaring premiums move past any perceived “black
hide” advantages. “The CAB premiums help explain the huge price
spreads we’ve seen lately based on quality,” says Malta, Mont., seedstock
producer Dave Hinman. “It’s been $20, $30/cwt. or more on the same
weight cattle.” The difference of nearly $200 per head shows great buyer
confidence, he says. “The feeder couldn’t afford to pay that if he didn’t
know a lot about the calves. They have to watch everything pretty close…”
Hinman’s bull customers do, too, and their solution is to find balance. “We
put all the numbers in our catalog and they look at all of them,” he says.
“They want it all, just like their next buyer, all the way to the people
standing in line to be seated at a steakhouse. And people will pay to get
what they want.” Science, performance data and common sense used in
concert can create those genetics. “But you can’t forget any one of those,”
Hinman says. Having grown up in the meat business, Dick Beck, manager
of Three Trees Ranch, Sharpsburg, Ga., wonders why some cattlemen pay
scant attention to beef quality potential. Sure, they’re concerned with
fertility, fleshing ability and other maternal traits not easily measured, but
that’s no reason to ignore the carcass side. “The cowherd traits have a big
economic impact but they’re not very heritable. Carcass traits are highly
heritable, so it is easy to make progress or lose ground,” he notes. “Keep
working on the cowherd, but why would you walk away from making
progress on a trait that’s easily improved?” Ability to produce premium beef
can make an Angus bull worth at least $10,000 more than average, Beck
notes, doing the math: “If you get 100 calves in his life and 40 of them
grade Prime, that can add $8,000; if 40 more make CAB, that could be
another $3,000.” He says “commodity-minded” producers debate the ups
and downs of the Choice-Select spread. “That doesn’t mean anything to
us—if we’re not making at least Choice cattle, we’re not in the Angus
business.” Like Hinman, Beck says the most-demanded bulls are the ones
that do it all, including quality grade. “We’re finally to the point where we
can design a system that produces premium beef every time if you do
everything else right,” Beck says. “That’s exciting.” Don Schiefelbein,
Kimball, Minn., agrees. His family buys calves from their bull customers
and finishes 20,000 head per year to sell on a grid. “Making the cattle do
85% or 90%, even 100% CAB was unheard of just five or six years ago,”
he says. When they do, as a fair number of loads did last year, the
breakeven equations go out the window. “Say you have two steers and
one makes CAB and one doesn’t,” Schiefelbein narrates. “It costs nothing
more for the one that earned the premium—it’s all extra dividend, added
value built in.

It’s that time of year where we are enjoying the excitement of calving
season. The weather has been challenging to say the least, with warm and
sunny days of drive by checks and tagging to rushing a newborn calf to the
barn to keep it warm from the harsh cold and wind. My hope is that
everyone can stop and be thankful for each moment of being a cattleman/
woman.
Juniors, the deadlines are approaching for the Kansas Angus Auxiliary
Scholarship application, April 1st. It is the privilege of the Auxiliary to
support your future goals and dreams as you plan to attend college. Take
time to fill out the application that you can find online. Your application is
reviewed by the Scholarship Committee that we have in place and the top

Kansas Juniors, your accomplishments in the show ring, at home, in your
community and schools. Good luck!!
I am still smiling with memories at the Kansas Angus Futurity Banquet. The

overwhelming. Thank you!!!

Our Angus Family
Howard LaVern Langvardt, 69, of Chapman, passed away Friday,
February 21, 2014, at The Good Shepherd Hospice House in
Manhattan, KS. Howard was born on November 11, 1944, in
Junction City, KS. He was the son of LaVern Roland Langvardt and
Ethel Marie (Norman) Langvardt. Howard graduated from Junction
City High School and immediately after high school, attended the
Repperts School of Auctioneering in Decatur, Indiana. Along with his
family, Howard purchased and managed JC Livestock Sales Co., the
livestock auction market in Junction City, KS, for 48 years. In 1996,
Howard and his family purchased Clay Center Livestock Sales, the
sale barn in Clay Center, KS. Howard was the main auctioneer at the
barns and was known for selling cattle, hogs and horses for people in
the area. He and his family also raised commercial Angus cattle on
the farm west of Junction City. Langvardt hosted numerous special
commercial cow sales at JC Livestock including the JC Livestock
Black Baldy Sale in conjunction with the Kansas Angus Association
and the Kansas Hereford Association. In recent years, the special
cow sale was co-sponsored with the Kansas Angus Association
solely and has been a good market for commercial females that meet
CAB specs. Howard’s oldest son and his wife are Karl and Amy
(Lyons) Langvardt, co-owners of Lyons Angus Ranch, Manhattan
and Alta Vista, KS, with Amy’s parents Frank and Jan Lyons.
Howard met his wife Ann LaRae Kamm on a Geary County 4-H trip
to the American Royal in Kansas City. They were married on May 3,
1964, at First United Methodist Church in Junction City, KS, and
worked side-by-side for 49 years at the sale barns and on the farm.
Howard grew up showing horses and competing in rodeos and
played baseball and football in Junction City. He played in the JCHS
band. Howard loved watching his children and grandchildren play
and compete in the activities he treasured as well. He was a
founding member of the Eastern Kansas Horseman’s Association
and a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Junction City, KS.
He was known for a fast auction cry and quick wit. He loved to
auctioneer a sale -- at his own sale barn or at other barns and for
area county 4-H fair sales as a volunteer. He competed and was a
finalist in several World Livestock Auctioneering Competitions. He
and Ann enjoyed traveling with friends and telling stories about their
adventures together gathering cattle on area ranches and seeing the
western United States. Howard was preceded in death by his
parents. He is survived by his loving wife, Ann, and their three sons,
Karl and wife Amy and their sons Tanner and Trey, Alta Vista;
Mitchell and wife Jenna and their children Trent, Kyler and Macey;
and Lynn and wife Keisha and their three children, Weston, Reece
and Nolan, all of Chapman, KS. He leaves behind many family
members, including a special sister Audrey and her husband
Raymond Riat, St. Marys, KS, and countless friends. Memorial
contributions may be made to First Presbyterian Church, Junction
City, KS, The Good Shepherd Hospice House, Manhattan, KS, or the
Chapman Recreation Department.

Hello KJAA members,
I hope everyone is surviving this crazy Kansas weather and also hoping
that calving season is going well for everyone. First, I would like to say
how great it was to see everyone at the Futurity Junior Angus Show. I saw
lots of new faces and entries were up, which makes me excited for the
future of the KJAA. Congratulations to all of the junior exhibitors and their
families for participating. Also, a huge thank you to everyone who
contributed to the KJAA in regards to the semen auction benefiting the
juniors.
In the junior meeting, we briefly discussed the 2014 NJAS and contests
available to the juniors. My challenge to new members to enter at least
one contest, and those that have participated before, try one more
contest. Most contest deadlines are May 15, so be sure you check your
NJAA "green book" or www.angus.org/njaa for contest
specifics. Remember, some contests don't require you to physically attend
NJAS, so it's easy to participate!
The next Kansas Angus News is the junior issue, so don't miss checking it
out for information about the Preview Show, Junior Nationals, award
applications and more!

Scholarships ( continued from page 20)
All candidates must complete a detailed application. A
designated panel conducts interviews with each of the
finalists. Applicants are evaluated on academic excellence,
work ethic, leadership potential, and attitude. Recipients must
express an interest in animal genetics, animal nutrition,
animal health, reproductive management, agribusiness
management or marketing. “These students have every
opportunity to confirm what we all hope to be a reality in the
future of production agriculture. They are bright, ambitious
and have plans to make the beef industry better.” said Mark
Gardiner. “Henry Gardiner’s curiosity and continual search to
make genetic improvement through better science,
technology and education serves as a role model for these
students. We are certain Brady, Esther and Lindsay, through
their educational endeavors and personal commitments, will
continue Henry’s legacy.”
The Henry C. Gardiner Scholarship is possible through the
generous contributions of Gardiner customers, friends and
family in an effort to continue the legacy of Henry Gardiner.
Students classified as a rising-junior, junior or senior, either
enrolled in or planning to enroll at Kansas State University
with a major in Animal Science & Industry or closely related
field may apply. Scholarships are awarded annually to
students meeting rigorous criteria and exhibiting a passion to
focus on improving the beef industry.
Gardiner Angus Ranch is a family-owned and operated
business that produces registered and commercial Angus
cattle. The original ranch was homesteaded near Ashland,
Kan., in 1885 by Henry Gardiner’s grandfather. The ranch
encompasses more than 46,000 acres.
Confident( continued form page 4)
That’s why breakevens mean nothing when you try to factor in 80% CAB.” When all
calves are selling for record-high prices is “the perfect time for genetic upgrades,” he
says. “Get your genetics in order to add value to your calves. It’s a sweet time to
invest for a whole new level of prices.” Some producers bought bulls for $2,500 or
less in 2013, but in January, a set of heifers from the Schiefelbein feedlot grossed
$2,500 per head on the rail, nearly all Prime or CAB. They were from a herd that had
stacked high-marbling Angus genetics for three generations, the standing
recommendation for all bull customers and one that can take decades to achieve
across a herd. The market says, it’s a goal worth pursuing.
