nxoons KIxaaM, —
Are cattle records
worth the effort?
I have said many times that the
constant in beef production is
change.
I remember when I graduated
from college in 1975. the continental
cattle influence was strong. People
had to reposition themselves around
the animal so they could be seen in
the picture. At the same time, calves
were Weighing off COWS at 469
pounds.
As a new county Extension agent.
I received my first free sample of
Roundup herbicide. Producers from
crop-growing counties gathered
around to hear about anhydrous am-
monia fertilizer. As one traveled
through the Midwest, summer fallow
still was a term farmers used, and
weed control was optional. Manage—
ment practices and tillage were ex—
pected to control weeds.
Crops that were not a success
went to the c0ws, or maybe the
sheep. Yes, cows and sheep were
prevalent, along with hogs and
chickens. Today. Roundup herbicide
and anhydrous ammonia fertilize}
are utilized extensively throughour
agriculture, and calves are weighing
in at more than 600 pounds after
seven months of grazing.
For those who lived this cycle,
sometimes comprehending the mag—
nitude of the change is hard. The
seeds of change from the 196m and
19703 sprouted and now populate
agriculture in truly mind-bending
ways.
Early in my career, guiding pro-
ducers and implementing record sys-
tems that documented that change
was crucial. Producers could not
only see the change but could record
the change. A former co-worker,
Harlan Hughes, often said, “You
can’t manage what you don’t meas-
ure.”
As another fall comes upon us, I
can’t help but wonder who will miss
the opportunity to record in writing
factual data regarding their beef op-
eration. Since 1963. the North
Dakota State University Extension
Service. through the North Dakota
Beef Cattle Improvement Associa~
tion, has been a leader in the evalua-
tion of cattle records. Thousands of
cattle have been weighed and evalu-
ated. Thousands still are processed
through the Cow Herd Appraisal of
Performance Software (CHAPS)
program. .
Having been involved in the eval—
uation of those records, they are im-
portant. And yet, as one visits with
many agricultural producers, the in-
dustry struggles with recordkeeping.
The agronomic side of the business
has the Farm Service Agency to help
keep track of those cropping records
required through the US. Depart-
ment of Agriculture (USDA).
Records are required to be main—

tained by those who apply restricted-
use pesticides.
The USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service has tremen‘
dous programs available for the man—
agement of range and other natural
resources. The USDA Agricultural
Marketing Service generates hourly
market reports, along with detailed
summaries for agricultural com-
modities, that extend worldwide.
But when one turns to the live-
stock sector, in this case beef, often-
times the response to records is
simply, would like to, but just
can’t get them done.” The reasons
are varied, but the point is the same:
no records. 1
Why don‘t some producers record
and track individual cow-calf data?
I’m sure the reasons are many; how—
own time and cost are probably at
the top of the list. Fall is roundup
time. Today. many producers have
cattle spread 50 or more miles from
one pasture to the next.
For the Dickinson Research Ex-
tension Center, cattle workdays
mean the crew is loading horses by 5
am. and. depending on the pasture,
rounding up cattle by 6 or 7. Provid-
ing all the cows are where they are
supposed to be, they should be arriw
ing just as the chute setup is being
completed, the electronic scale cali-
brated and the day‘s objectives re-
viewed.
If all goes well, the cattle should
be worked by noon, with semis
loaded full of this year's high—value
calves destined for the weaning lots
and the mother cows turned back to
grass until time permits to bring
them home.
Weaning and weighing calves are
hard work, and many days don’t go
exactly as planned. But still, chance
did not get those 1975 calves that
weighed 469 pounds to weigh in ex-
cess of 600 pounds today. Producers
may have marveled at those great
pictures back in the ’603 and ’703,
but good selection decisions based
on data added the l30—plus pounds of
calf weight to the cow—calf pair.
The appraisal of genetic and man—
agerial inputs is critical to the man-
agement of a ranch. Good records
help producers steer their business
and manage change. Without
records, a producer simply drifts
with the trends. Trends are informa-
tive, but steering is better. And be-
cause change is inevitable, steering
through it is critical.
