Roberts Farms of Corning, Iowa were selected as the 2013 North American Limousin Foundation Commercial Producer of the Year. Glen and Mary Lou Roberts accepted their award at the annual Genetics on Ice banquet January 14, 2013. This event was held in Denver, CO in conjunction with the National Western Stock Show. They were nominated for the award by Leih Limousin, the Iowa Limousin Association and the Heartland Limousin Association. The Roberts operation includes Glen, son Tom and grandson, Ryan who manage the 700 hundred head operation. Glen and Tom were pork producers for several years before switching to the cow/calf operation in 1988. They began by purchasing 40 Limousin heifers from Leih Limousin of New Virginia, IA. They have relied on the Leih purebred operation to select bulls which increase weaning weights and improve fertility in their retained heifers. Since that time, the Roberts’ have purchased several Limousin sires to use on their 500 spring calvers and 200 fall calvers. They have a 45-day window for breeding using a ratio of one bull per 15 acres. They purchase a few bred heifers per year in addition to retaining approximately 60 home

Using a very strong vaccination program, their non-creep fed calves are backgrounded for four months in the fall and are then marketed at the Anita, IA Livestock Sale Barn. The same feedyards have bought their calf production for several years. Both Glen and Tom have been

Be sure the mineral mix contains magnesium and cows consume adequate amounts. • Obtain yearling measurements on bulls and heifers this month (weight, height, pelvic area, scrotal circumference, ultrasound data, etc.) if needed for special sales. Heifers should be on target to be cycling by the start of the breeding season.

Timely Tips ... Continued from front.

• The spring calving season should be in full swing now. Top priority should be to get a live calf and keep cows in sufficient body condition to rebreed early. Calving areas should be accessible and as clean and free of mud as possible. • Check cows at least twice daily and first-calf heifers more frequently than that. Be ready to assist those not making progress after 1 to 2 hours of hard labor. Chilled calves should be dried and warmed as soon as possible. • See that each calf gets colostrum within an hour of birth or administer colostrum (or a commercial colostrum replacement) with an esophageal feeder, if needed. • Separate cows that have calved and increase their feed. Energy supplementation to cows receiving hay is necessary to prepare them for rebreeding. For example, a 1,250-lb.cow giving 25 lbs./day of milk would need about 25 lb. of fescue hay and 5 lb. of concentrate daily to

Calves intended for feeders should be implanted. • Plan to pregnancy check cows soon. • Consider adding weight and selling your fall calves as “heavy” feeder calves while prices are high. Keep them gaining – prices are too high to waste time. General • If you have a dry, sunny day, use a chain-link harrow to spread manure in areas where cattle have overwintered. This may be done in conjunction with renovation. • Renovation and fertilization of pastures should be completed. • Repair fences, equipment and handling facilities. • Start thistle control. They can be a severe problem in pastures. Chemical control must be done early to be effective. • Watch for lice and treat if needed.

By: Bev Summerbell

As I unpacked our luggage following our long trip that started in England & France and ended in Denver for the NWSS, I had fun looking over the memorabilia that I brought home. The trip began at the end of November and concluded in the middle of January, One of the most interesting aspects of travel is the food. I found myself eating some things that I have never heard of before. It was fun trying them out – some were good and others, well, as our English friends would say – “It’s not to me taste.” Our trip began in England,

where we attended the wedding of Rachel Stalker and Paul Burgin. The meal was interesting. It began with Leek & Tatie Soup (I think it was an English version of potato soup). The main course was Cumberland Sausage with Lowca Mash and Roasted Root Vegetables & Burgandy Sauce. According to the bride’s father, the sausage was made by the Queen’s sausage-maker. We stayed with the bride’s parents after the wedding, and they served lamb stew one evening and leg of lamb for another meal. Although it is something I have not had before, I found it to be quite tasty.

Geoff & Sandra Stalker and Dean & Bev Summerbell enjoyed a three course French dinner at Crepon (near Gold Beach) Normandy.

Recipe of the Month

This simple meat ball recipe is a favorite at our house. Bev Summerbell

Baked Meat Balls

1 egg 1 ½ slices bread, cubed ¼ cup milk 1 tsp. salt 1 ½ tsp. instant minced onion 1/8 tsp. pepper 1 lb. ground beef Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat egg and milk. Stir in onion, bread, and seasonings. Add beef and mix well. Shape into balls, using 1/3 cup mixture for each ball. Place in shallow pan. Topping: Mix ketchup, small amount of mustard and brown sugar together (I guess on the amount – I use more ketchup than the other two ingredients). Spoon over meat balls before baking. Bake 40-45 minutes. Makes about 7 meat balls.

Peyton Avery Schmalshof was 8 lb. 4 oz. and 21 in. long born February 3, 2013. Parents are Adam and Jonelle Schmalshof of ATAK Limousin from Avon IL.

Our next stop on the trip was to visit the beaches of Normandy, France. We stayed in a very old hotel in Crepon. The meal at La ferme de la Ranconniere was elegant and probably one of the best I have ever had (expensive but great food). My three course meal began with “hot cheese terrine with apples, smoked ham and green salad. The meal ended with a “sweet temptation” from the dessert menu – a delicious French pastry with ice cream. Dean was more daring for the main course, ordering a duck fillet and melted beetroot with hot wine sauce. I stayed on the safe side with a stuffed poultry breast with walnut and hazelnut. Our meal also included Norman apple sorbet with Calvados (an apple brandy). On our return to the states, we spent a week in Tuscon, AZ. The resort recommended a Mexican restaurant, the only one in the city that served “mole”. I had never heard of it. They told me it was a sauce made with chocolate and chili. Usually I ask for a sample before ordering, but this time I decided to be brave and order Enchiladas with “Mole”. I don’t know if you have ever eaten this, but I couldn’t believe my eyes when my plate arrived with black sauce. It had a very bitter, sharp taste and unfortunately, not something that I enjoyed (actually had to order something else). I learned my lesson – sample before ordering. When we were in Las Vegas, we ate at the Harley Davidson restaurant on the Strip. We had the most delicious corn chowder. I would love to get their recipe. In Denver we ate at Jim and Nick’s barbecue located in the Northgate shopping mall. They served mini corn muffins that we wonderful. Our friends from the ILC who joined us

for the meal liked them so much that the manager gave them a box of muffins to take with them. Eating can be an interesting experience. I am glad that we had the opportunity to try the various items.

This is an awesome set of curve bender genetics with eye appeal to go with it. These bulls carry some of the most powerful performance genetics in the Limousin breed. The average BW EPD on the offering is 0.6 combined with a average YW EPD of 110. Ten bulls in the offering have negative BW EPD's combined with triple digit YW EPD's. We invite you to compare them. These bulls are structurally correct, well muscled and masculine. They're fed to exhibit their performance but not to be over fat. The feet and legs are sound and we want them to stay that way. Every bull in the sale is polled with many being double polled and homozygous polled. These are performance bred bulls for the working cattleman. Sometimes they work in the show ring as well.

and Wulf Cattle. He markets the spring non creep-fed calf crop at the Platte, SD sale barn, usually in November. Richard has been very satisfied with the interest shown

by bidders on his calf production. Fott has a row crop operation of 400 acres to compliment the extensive pasture and hay land. He usually harvests silage off an additional 350 acres. Muscle is the prime reason for using Limousin genetics, according to Fott. His British based cow herd and replacement females have very little trouble calving and the Limi-crossed calves have vigor at birth. He believes in the Limousin muscle, efficiency, and growth advantages Richard commended the South Dakota breeders on their improvement in Limousin genetics, especially in docility. Limousin works for him and he thanked the SDLA for the award.
