The 2019 Dams of Distinction list honors the Hereford breed's cows who meet the highest standard of production and recognizes the cattlemen who produce them. 2019 Dams of Distinction Honored The job description for an ideal Hereford cow could be as follows: She should produce a healthy, growthy calf every year; she should calve as a two-year-old, and she should cause her owner absolutely no problems. These ideal cows are recognized as Dams of Distinction. A Dam of Distinction is the standard by which all Hereford cows can be judged. In order to be honored as a Dam of Distinction, a cow must have 1) Weaned a calf born since January 1, 2018. 2) Produced at least 3 calves. 3) Initially calved at 30 months of age or less. 4) Had an interval between the first and second calves of no greater than 400 days. In addition, a 370-day calving interval must have been maintained after her second calf. The longer initial calving interval allows breeders to calve two-year-old heifers prior to the mature cow herd. 5) Every calf produced that was born before June 30, 2019 must have weaning records submitted to the Hereford Performance Program. 6) A progeny average 205-day adjusted weaning weight ratio of at least 105. These are the cows that meet the highest standards of commercial cattle production. The cow must do her job, but also her owner must manage the herd correctly to give her the opportunity to excel. Only a small portion of active cows is recognized. All heifers have the potential of being a Dam of Distinction, but only a small percentage fit the job description of an ideal cow year in and year out. The following 2019 Dams of Distinction list recognizes 2,837 Hereford cows from 748 Hereford performance herds in 41 different states. The top twenty states and breeders of Dams of Distinction are listed below. An article reviewing the 2019 Dams of Distinction will be published in the April issue of the Hereford World Magazine.
