Early Registration Fee, $75 Registration Fee After October 3, $100 If you plan to exhibit cattle in the E.D.G.E show at the 2026 Cattlemen’s Congress or NWSS, DNA samples must be submitted and received at the lab prior to November 1st. No entries will be accepted or allowed to show if the DNA sample is submitted and received by lab after November 1st.

Send DNA Directly to Neogen

Breeders can now send and are encouraged to send DNA samples directly to Neogen for testing rather than sending to the ASA office. Starting July 1, 2023, a manual processing fee will be incurred for those samples sent to the ASA office for preprocessing.

3 things will be required to send samples in for testing: 1. A registration (or recorded “U”) number for each tested animal

2. A paper copy of the finalized testing form, (emailed from staff, description below) which includes the Neogen order number

3. A barcode number for each animal tested

Breeders can queue up animals for testing in DigitalBeef and select which sample types they have, as well as which tests they want. Once the form is submitted, staff will process the testing request and get an order ID # from Neogen. A finalized printable PDF of the submission form will be emailed to you to print, sign and send to the lab with samples. Checks/ payments are still made to the ASA. Once staff approves the testing request, the breeder’s DigitalBeef account is billed accordingly.

Shorthorn Tradition and Excellence in Kansas City for Annual Meeting & American Royal Association Outlook

As we turn the calendar to fall, one of the most anticipated weekends of the year for Shorthorn breeders is just around the corner. The American Royal in Kansas City has long been a special gathering for cattlemen and women; and with our National Shorthorn Show and ASA Annual Meeting held in conjunction, it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the breed we all love.

The weekend kicks off on Friday, October 24, with the National Shorthorn Open Show at the American Royal. That evening, the ASA will host our Annual Open House at the ASA office beginning at 5:00 p.m. This event has quickly become a highlight of the weekend. Members, breeders, and friends will enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres, refreshing drinks, and most importantly, great Shorthorn fellowship. There’s nothing better than good conversation, a chance to connect with old friends, and the opportunity to make new ones.

On Saturday, October 25, the spotlight shifts to our Annual Meeting, which this year will be held at a new location—the Embassy Suites at the Kansas City Airport. The meeting will start promptly at 9:00 a.m. with the roll call of delegates. Members will hear reports from the ASA executive team and staff, an update on the state of the Association, and introductions from the candidates nominated for the ASA Board of Directors. The election of new directors will take place, and we will honor our retiring board members for their years of service and dedication.

This meeting isn’t just about business— it’s a chance for every member to be part of shaping the future of the breed. With new tools and technology continuing to influence animal agriculture, it’s

vital for our members to stay informed about advancements that will impact Shorthorns and the beef industry as a whole. Attending gives you the chance to learn, ask questions, and exchange ideas with other breeders who share the same passion for this breed.

Following the business meeting, we’ll gather for the Annual Awards Luncheon. This event recognizes the outstanding achievements of the year, from National and Regional Show winners to Century Club members, and the prestigious recognition of performance sires and dams. It’s an uplifting celebration of breeders who have worked hard to advance Shorthorns in the showring and in production.

Every year, I am reminded how much value comes from being together as a Shorthorn family. These gatherings give us the chance to learn, share, celebrate, and recharge. And this year, we have even more to celebrate: our fifth consecutive year of registering over 15,000 head! That kind of consistency is no small accomplishment—it’s a sign of stability, strength, and a solid foundation for growth in the years ahead.

So, I encourage each of you to make plans now. Go online to the Shorthorn website to reserve your spot, pack your bags, and join us in Kansas City. You’ll go home with more than just memories— you’ll gain knowledge, friendships, and renewed excitement for the breed we are all proud to represent.

Shorthorns are truly a family-friendly breed. Come be part of that family in Kansas City this October.

What’s to Come this Busy Fall Season

As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, the Shorthorn breed is heating up with a busy fall season.

The American Royal is right around the corner, and once again, we are excited to host the Annual Meeting in conjunction with this prestigious event. Be sure to review the schedule on page 22 and check the delegate list on pages 26-27 to confirm if you’ve been selected to represent your state. Don’t forget if you’re attending Annual Meeting to get registered. You can do so by filling out the form online at https://shorthorn.org/ event/asa-annual-meetings-awards/.

Soon after, attention shifts to one of

our Super National shows, the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE). With ongoing construction at the Kentucky Exposition Center, exhibitors can expect some changes to the setup this year. Watch your inbox for updates as we work to keep everyone informed leading up to the show.

NAILE Stalling Reminder

Stalling requests are due November 1. Email those requests to me at wade@ shorthorn.org. Space at NAILE is always tight, and with construction, it may be even more limited this year. To help accommodate tack space, we recommend

entering more head than you plan to bring. For example, if you enter 10 animals, you may only be allotted 7 stalls, as NAILE has historically reduced our space by about 30%. This year, it might be even more. Please note that cattle entered only in the Junior Show will not be stalled in the Shorthorn barn. If you plan to show exclusively in the Junior division, you’ll need to make separate arrangements. To guarantee space in the Shorthorn barn, we suggest entering in both the Open and Junior shows.

For everything you need to prepare for NAILE, see page 18. See you this fall!

Intent to Run

Members Announce Intent to Run for ASA Board of Directors

Ben WilsonBeing asked and encouraged to run for the Board of Directors by my peers in this great breed of cattle is truly an honor. With careful thought and consideration, I accept this opportunity. I grew up on a farm like so many in eastern Kentucky in the 60’s & 70’s where tobacco was the main crop. However, I always had an affinity for our livestock – pigs, sheep, and cattle. At an early age, I was exposed to Shorthorns via a crossbred bull that we used in our commercial herd. In the early 70’s, I joined the American Junior Shorthorn Association and started purchasing purebred cattle from our area. At one time, our area was rich in Shorthorn cattle.

As time passed, things happened in our family that made me make some choices. I left the farm and attended Morehead State University where I chose to major in Biology working towards the requirements for Veterinary School. It was here that I met my wife, Sharon, who has been my rock and “go-to” person in my life. I graduated with my BS degree in 1981 and was accepted into Veterinary School at Auburn University. Although a bit scary at that time, Sharon and I packed up and headed to Alabama for a wonderful adventure. My fellow vet school classmates are like the people we have come to know in the Shorthorn breed. Like family, they are with you for life whether you see them often or not. I graduated from Auburn with my DVM degree in 1985 as Sharon also completed her MS degree in Physiology. Despite a very tempting offer of an

Internship in Large Animal Medicine at Oklahoma State University, we decided to return to Kentucky where I worked in a mixed animal practice for 3 ½ years before starting up my own practice in 1989. This practice has now grown from a sole practitioner to 3 veterinarians & staff of 12 serving large and small animals in our and the surrounding five counties.

In 1992, we decided that it was time to get back into cattle, so we purchased a farm adjacent to where I was raised. I had always remembered how well I liked the Shorthorn breed, so we bought a Shorthorn bull for use on our commercial cows followed by the addition of 3 purebred heifers in 1996. We have been committed to this breed ever since and now run SharBen Shorthorns, a purebred Shorthorn cow/ calf operation of 100+ head.

I have had the honor of serving our Kentucky Shorthorn Association as President and Vice President and continue to serve on our state association’s Board of Directors. In 2021, I was inducted into our county’s Agriculture Hall of Fame for service to and promotion of agriculture in our area. I am a member of Bath Co Cattlemen’s Association, the American Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Association of Bovine Practitioners. In 2020, Sharon & I were immensely humbled and honored to be awarded Builder of the Breed by the ASA.

If elected, I will be a voice for my fellow Shorthorn members and apply the problem-solving skills I have gained through my day-to-day experiences in 40 years of veterinary practice and a lifetime on the farm. It would be an honor to contribute to the success of our breed by working with the other board members for the continued advancement of Shorthorns. I humbly ask for your

support for my candidacy to the Board of Directors.

Rick Osterday - Fellow Shorthorn Breeders, I am the 4th generation to run Shorthorn cattle on the rolling prairie near Java, South Dakota. My wife Sandy and I own Stangl Shorthorns and are blessed to have our 2 sons and their families involved in our farming and ranching operation.

I have always believed in membership stepping up and being involved in their organizations and have done so as a past director of the South Dakota Shorthorn Association, South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association, South Dakota Beef Breeds Council, our church and local Fire District. I’ve also served for 30 years as a director for our local agriculture cooperative with 21 as board president.

It has been an honor to serve as your director the past 3 years and would like to serve another 3 year term on the ASA board. I will continue to use good judgment and rely on my experience to represent our members needs and continue to grow the great Shorthorn Breed.

Scott LovingI’m honored to have been nominated as a candidate for the ASA Board of Directors. Serving our breed association is both a great responsibility and a privilege, and I’m committed to representing the interests of our

members with integrity and dedication.

As the third generation on our family’s diverse farming and cattle operation in central Kansas, I’m proud to carry on a legacy that began in the mid-1950s, when my grandparents founded Loving Farms. Shorthorns have been a cornerstone of our program ever since. What started with just a few purebred cows has grown into a herd of over 350 purebred and Shorthorn-Angus composite females.

After earning a degree in Agricultural Economics from Kansas State University, I returned to our family operation

in 2000. Since then, I’ve been active in various leadership roles, including serving on the Kansas Shorthorn Association Board and completing a nine-year term on the American Plains Co-op Board. During my time there, I served four years as Chairman and helped oversee large capital projects along with two CEO transitions.

I believe a good board member must be open-minded, unbiased, fully engaged, and always approaching the role with a sense of responsibility rather than personal agenda. I strive to

bring that mindset to every role I take on. My experience with our operation brings a strong commercial perspective to the table. In addition, my family’s involvement in the junior side of the industry through my daughter’s passion for showing cattle has given me a broader appreciation for that segment of the Shorthorn community.

I’m excited for the opportunity to contribute to the future of our breed and to support its growth in all parts of the beef industry.

Performance Award Winners for 2024

Recognized at the American Shorthorn Association’s Awards Luncheon on October 25, 2025

On the following pages, you will find a list of the Shorthorn breed’s honor roll of performance champions, also known as the Pacer Performance Awards for 2024. Congratulations to all breeders and their animals who qualify for these designations. It’s not an easy task for a sire or dam to qualify for these awards! To understand the standards these animals must meet to qualify for these various categories, check out the last page of these award winners.

The cows listed are all that are newly

qualified for the Performance Award categories based off their 2024 calves. The youngest cows to qualify for this set of awards are the 2020 born females that qualified on their first three calves in 2022, 2023 and 2024. We treat the Performance Awards recognition like a “hall of fame” induction: once you get recognized, you’re in for life! A cow could certainly meet the qualifications for Performance or Pacesetter Dam multiple times in her life (and many do!), but the cow is only honored with the recognition

Owner Summary for Pace Performance Sire & Dams

the first time she qualifies. If you have a cow that you feel qualifies for the 2024 awards and do not find her on the list, it’s likely because she was a past qualifier who has already been recognized. In Digital Beef, each qualifying animal has an “Awards” tab you can click to see when and what recognition your animal has received. A cow can be recognized as a Performance Dam and then later in life be recognized as a Pacesetter Dam as well.

Keeping the Tradition Alive: Starting or Reviving Your State Shorthorn Lassie Association

The Shorthorn Lassies have always been a vital part of the Shorthorn breed’s history—offering support at shows, fostering youth development, and creating fellowship within the breed community. It all starts with a little organization, a few dedicated individuals, and a shared vision, whether you want to start a Lassie Association or revive one that is inactive.

Ignite Interest

The initial step in creating or revitalizing a Lassie organization is to easily gather individuals. Reach out to Shorthorn families in your area, whether through your state Shorthorn association, social media, or word of mouth at shows and sales. Organize an informal gathering—such as at an annual meeting, during a show, or even a Zoom call—to share ideas and gauge interest. What begins as a small meeting often expands quickly as participants discover the significant contributions that Lassies make to the breed and junior programs.

Establish Leadership & Structure

Elect at least three offices: president, vice president, and a secretary/treasurer, along with a Queen Coordinator, or establish a board. Leadership can be straightforward; it’s essential to have someone who can maintain records, manage communications, and assist in promoting activities. Membership structures can remain simple as well. Several associations collect dues, while relying entirely on volunteerism and fundraising. The most important thing is to create a framework that encourages participation.

Continuing Traditions Through Service

Every Lassie Association is driven by its projects and activities. Traditionally, most Lassies support the breed and its youth by:

• Host or assist with queen and royalty contests.

• Providing awards, banners, or scholarships at state and regional shows.

• Organizing fundraising efforts such as raffles, auctions, or bake sales at breed events or shows.

• Offering mentorship and activities for junior members.

In addition to preserving cherished traditions, these efforts also strengthen connections between breeders and their families across the state.

Connecting with the National Lassies

No state association is alone in this endeavor. The National Shorthorn Lassies offer guidance, recognition, and opportunities to be involved in national events such as the national queen contest, annual fundraisers, and attend our annual meeting. By partnering with the national organization, local efforts integrate with the broader Lassies legacy. We’re happy to help with guidance and support along the way, and we just want to remind you how important it is to obtain membership information. Feel free to reach out to us through our Facebook page “National Shorthorn Lassies.”

Encourage and Promote

Use social media or the Shorthorn Country to share your group’s activities

and highlight the fun and fellowship of being a Lassie. Encourage juniors, parents, and new breeders to get involved. Remember: enthusiasm is contagious— the more visible your group is, the more it will grow.

A Lasting Legacy

Starting—or restarting—a state Shorthorn Lassie Association does not require a large membership or a significant budget. It begins with passion, service, and the desire to uphold a legacy that has defined the Shorthorn community for decades.

As more women and families come together to serve, support, and celebrate the breed, the Lassie tradition continues to thrive. By honoring the past and building for the future, each state association becomes part of the enduring heritage of the Shorthorn Lassies.

With the recent costume changes we have made it easy to purchase the costume. Use the qr code below to purchase.

Fall Traditions, Lasting Impact

Fall has always been one of my favorite times of the year. There is something about the cool, crisp mornings, the pretty colors on the trees, and football on TV that makes this season special. But what I look forward to the most in the fall is the cattle. From picking out a new show heifer to preparing for the majors, this time of year always brings excitement and a fresh sense of anticipation.

There are many great shows to look forward to during the fall, but NAILE stands out as one of the majors and a favorite for many families. It is not just about showing cattle, it is also about the community that comes together there. For juniors, it is especially meaningful because NAILE hosts one of our biggest fundraisers of the year: Deck the Stalls. This event is important because the money raised supports the Shorthorn Youth Development Fund (SYDF) and Junior Nationals, two things that make a huge difference for all of us.

Junior Nationals is truly the event of the year for many juniors. It is where we compete, learn, and spend time with friends who become like family.

The opportunities SYDF and Junior Nationals provide go beyond the show ring, they help us grow as people and prepare us for the future. None of it would be possible without the support we receive through fundraising.

The great thing about Deck the Stalls is that it gives everyone a chance to be involved. Even if you cannot be in Louisville, you can still watch and participate through CCi.live. Whether you are bidding on an item, donating, or just helping spread the word, you are making a difference and helping keep these opportunities alive.

As I think about everything that makes fall one of my favorite seasons, from the changing weather to weekends full of football and time spent with cattle, I am reminded that it is also a season about coming together. I hope you will join in supporting Deck the Stalls this year. Together, we can make sure the future of SYDF and Junior Nationals stays strong, so juniors can continue to experience all the things that make this breed and this community so special.

November 15 :: 5 pm :: NAILE Shorthorn Stalls

Join us in Louisville for our annual ‘Deck the Stalls Extravaganza’ fundraiser in support of the SYDF, National Junior Shorthorn Show & AJSA. Watch Facebook for the catalog featuring experiences, genetics, sponsorships and more!
