NATIONAL NEWS USDA ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE FOR HOG FARMERS DUE TO COVID-RELATED LOSSES

Recently USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack unveiled additional assistance for livestock farmers who suffered COVID-related losses due to reductions in harvest capacity. The Pandemic Livestock Indemnity Program (PLIP), authorized by the FY2021 appropriations package enacted in December 2020, will provide more than $300 million in payments, the majority of which is expected to be directed to pork producers. Livestock producers can begin to apply for PLIP funding beginning July 20. The application deadline is Sept. 17, 2021. The PLIP is the result of NPPC advocacy last year that included legislation passed by Congress in December authorizing USDA to implement the program. Additionally, Secretary Vilsack announced $50 million in funding to develop a program specifically to assist small pork producers who relied primarily on spot transactions during the pandemic. Details are expected later this summer.

NPPC URGES CONGRESS TO ADDRESS LABOR REFORM

In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, NPPC President Jen Sorenson urged Congress to address the agriculture labor shortage by expanding the H-2A visa program for year-round use without a cap. As she explained, U.S. pork production is a year-round effort, requiring a hardworking and dedicated workforce on farms and in processing plants. “Current visa programs designed for seasonal agriculture—such as the H-2A visa—fail to meet the workforce needs of U.S. pork producers and other year-round livestock farmers. Now more than ever, we need a dedicated, year-round workforce,” Sorenson told the committee. If not addressed, the labor shortage “could lead to farms and packing plants shutting down, causing serious financial harm to the communities in which they operate. As a result, pork production would be constrained, leading to higher food prices for consumers and the United States becoming an unreliable trading partner for the many countries around the world that rely on our pork,” she noted. Sorenson’s hearing appearance follows the launch of NPPC’s “Year-Round Pork Needs YearRound Workers” campaign which debuted in early July. The campaign features the stories of four foreign-born workers who make vital contributions to the U.S. pork industry and their communities.

HOUSE AMENDMENT ALLOWING YEAR-ROUND H-2A VISA FOR FY2022 APPROVED IN FUNDING BILL

The House Appropriations Committee recently approved an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2022 Homeland Security funding bill that would allow the H-2A temporary agriculture guestworker program to be accessed yearround—rather than seasonal— for the FY2022 year. The amendment, by Reps. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) and Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.), was adopted by voice vote. “Our farmers and ranchers are in desperate need of a legal and reliable workforce,” said Rep. Newhouse. “Unfortunately, the H-2A program does not work for all of agriculture.

As farming methods have become less seasonal or able to produce multiple harvests, the H-2A program must be updated to meet the needs of the agriculture industry,” he added.

The amendment comes as NPPC continues to aggressively engage lawmakers regarding the severe labor shortage in the pork industry. In support of its lobbying efforts, NPPC recently launched its “Year-Round Pork Needs YearRound Workers” campaign to highlight the vital role of foreign-born workers across the U.S. pork industry and the critical need for comprehensive labor reform to address

FDA LAUNCHES WEBSITE TO HIGHLIGHT SAFETY-RELATED LABELING CHANGES TO ANIMAL DRUGS The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched a new resource to improve transparency and communication with veterinarians, animal producers and consumers about safety-related labeling changes made to FDA-approved animal drug products for all species. The new resource website provides information on recent safety-related labeling changes and will be updated monthly when changes to drug labeling are approved by the FDA. The site posts the safety-related labeling changes for animal drugs beginning January 2021. The safety-related labeling change information will be available on the site for two years after it is first listed. For more information about the most current labeling for a particular animal drug, veterinarians should contact the drug’s sponsor.

PORK DEMAND REMAINS STRONG

The average live price for 51-52% lean hogs during June was $86.15/cwt. That was $5.14 higher than the month before, up $51.90/cwt. from a year ago and the highest price for any month since July 2014.

Iowa-Minnesota negotiated hog prices started July at nearly four times the level of last year. Prices have been above the year-ago level every day thus far in 2021 and are expected to remain that way for the rest of 2021. Year-to-date hog slaughter is up, so it is primarily strong demand that is supporting prices.

Demand for pork at retail is higher than in 2019 according to 210 Analytics, NPB’s third-party data analytics resource. Early summer sales through June 13, showed the average price of pork sold at retail was 12% higher than the same period in 2019, while the volume sold was just 3% lower. For the first half of 2021, bacon led the meat department in volume growth, with 57 million more pounds sold compared to 2019. Sausage and ribs also saw volume gains over 2019 at 26 million and 3 million pounds, respectively.

LONE STAR CAPITOL REPORT The 87th Texas Regular Legislative Session officially adjourned Sine Die, “without day,” on Memorial Day, but plans were immediately made to bring them back at least twice for special sessions. Meanwhile, Republican primary races for March 2022 are already taking shape.

While some of the state leadership’s big-ticket items did not make it across the finish line, several did, including: expanding rural broadband access, preventing local defunding of police, liability protection from COVID-related lawsuits, reform of ERCOT (which operates the state’s electric grid), and power grid stability. In addition, the must-pass biennial state budget was approved. The Legislature passed several bills of particular interest to the swine industry, all of which were supported by the TPPA. Texas Sunset Commission. Every two years the Sunset Commission reviews state agencies to determine whether the agency is operating as intended and ensure there is no duplication or overlap with another agency. The Sunset process works by setting an automatic termination (Sunset) date in state law on which an agency will be abolished unless the Legislature passes a bill to continue it, typically for another 12 years. This cycle the Commission reviewed 19 agencies. Two agencies of particular interest to the dairy industry, the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) and the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC), were both part of that. SB 703 by Sen. Dawn Buckingham (R-Lakeway) and Rep. Terry Canales (D-Edinburg) renews the TDA for 12 years and included reform measures to streamline the agencies core functions and improve stakeholder engagement. SB 705 by Sen. Eddie Lucio, Jr. (D-Brownsville) and Rep. John Cyrier (R-Lockhart) continues the TAHC for 12 years and adopts Sunset Commission recommendations including replacing the TAHC lab and naming the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (TVMDL) as the state’s regulatory animal health lab; eliminating statutory lists specifying animal diseases TAHC is required to control, eradicate or report; and allowing TAHC to establish quarantine areas in rule rather than statute.

Rural Vet Incentive Program. HB 1259 by Rep. Drew Darby (R-San Angelo) and Sen. Kel Seliger (R-Amarillo) transfers the administration of the rural veterinarian incentive program from Texas A&M University to the Texas Animal Health Commission. The transfer of authority from A&M recognizes that there are now two veterinary schools in the state. The bill would pay for student loan forgiveness for each year of service in a rural area, meaning that a student could receive greater financial assistance the longer they agreed to serve in a rural county.

Protection of Animal/Crop Facilities. HB 1480 by Rep. John Cyrier (R-Lockhart) and Sen. Lois Kolkhorst (R-Brenham) addresses concerns with individuals entering agricultural facilities without the consent of facility owners/operators that have resulted in damage and destruction of livestock and facilities. Under the provisions of the bill, a criminal offense is created that is punishable as a Class B or Class A misdemeanor with the specific punishment based on the amount of loss to the animal or crop facility.

Expanding Rural Broadband Access. HB 5 by Rep. Trent Ashby (R-Lufkin) and Sen. Robert Nichols (R-Jacksonville) creates the Broadband Development Office at the Comptroller’s Office. The Broadband Development Office is tasked with preparing a state broadband plan, creating a map of areas with limited access to broadband service, and awarding financial incentives in those eligible areas to expand access to and adoption of service.

Establishment of the Texas Youth Livestock Show Fund.

HB 3959 by Rep. Buckley (R-Killeen) The COVID-19 pandemic has reportedly had a dramatically negative effect on the youth livestock show industry in Texas.

The cancellation of youth livestock shows deprived young Texans of the opportunity to show their animals, as well as much-needed funds and scholarships that would have come from the sale of their animals. C.S.H.B.3959 seeks to ensure that meaningful opportunities for Texas youth involved in the raising and showing of livestock continue during and after the recovery from the pandemic by providing for the creation of the Texas youth livestock show grant program.

C.S.H.B. 3959 amends the Agriculture Code to require the Department of Agriculture (TDA) to establish and administer the Texas youth livestock show grant program. The bill restricts the use of a grant to providing financial assistance to youth livestock shows in Texas and makes a youth livestock show eligible for a grant if the show is part of the youth livestock validation program and either has been in existence for less than 10 years or is a regional youth livestock show.

The bill requires the TDA to establish grant eligibility requirements and a grant application process and to encourage participation from livestock shows of varying sizes, types of entries, and needs.

C.S.H.B. 3959 creates the Texas youth livestock show fund as an account in the general revenue fund administered by the TDA. The bill sets out the composition of the fund and restricts the use of money therein by the TDA to providing grants under the grant program and promoting and encouraging donations to the fund. The bill authorizes the TDA to accept grants, gifts, or donations from any source that are made for the purposes of the grant program and requires that any such money received be deposited in the fund.

Passed the House but was left in the Senate Relating to the advertising and labeling of certain food products. HB 316 by Rep. Buckley (R-Killeen) It has been suggested that codifying definitions of the various types of meat and non-meat products will strengthen consumers’ understanding of what they are purchasing while fostering seller transparency. As technology advances and food products for consumption are created using alternative ingredients and methods, Texans need the ability to make the distinction between meat originating from a carcass, meat substitutes, and cell-cultured products. C.S.H.B. 316 seeks to provide clarification by codifying in the Texas Meat and Poultry Inspection Act the definitions relating to meat products and the labeling of those products and applying provisions relating to misbranding under that act to all applicable products. The bill also requires the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission to adopt rules to implement the bill’s provisions.

Stopping Feral Hogs Advancements Offer a Hopeful Solution to Texas’ Hog Problem

T

he feral hog crisis has burdened farmers, ranchers and suburban families in Texas for decades.

They run on every acre across the state it seems, but hogs tend to stick to bottom lands like rivers and creeks.

Never far from dense protective cover, a feral hog’s home rand is less than 5,000 acres but can be up to 70,000 acres, according to Wildlife Biologist Rick Taylor.

The rate of reproduction is almost immediate as females are capable of breeding around eight to 10 months of age, and a female can produce a litter size of up to ten to twelve young. Because mature boars usually roam alone, sows and their young will travel in groups together.

These groups of feral hogs cause the most damage to land - rooting up crops, tearing down fences and even scaring families in suburban neighborhoods. Methods to control the feral hog population include trapping, snaring, shooting and the use of specially trained dogs. While these options provide some temporary relief, many people were left wondering what to do next, especially when left in the wake of expensive damages.

According to recent reports, the feral hog population in Texas has swelled to over 2.6 million. Feral hogs cause an estimated $500 million in damages, not just to farm and ranch land, but to urban areas, parks, golf courses.

Feral hogs were even responsible for at least one human death in the last few years.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller announced an exciting new tool in the war against feral hogs with the release of a new hog contraceptive bait entering the market this week. A new product called HogStop is being released with the goal of curbing the growth of the feral hog population in Texas over time.

“The feral hog problem has exploded into a crisis,” said Commissioner Miller, “Texas farmers and ranchers need every tool they can get their hands on to stop these hogs. With this new product, we’re one step closer to my goal of making feral hogs an endangered species in Texas.”

HogStop is a mixture of natural feedstuffs that is fed to feral hogs to reduce the number of feral hogs on your farm or ranch. It acts as a male contraception on feral boar hogs. Sperm counts in feral boar hogs are reduced and hence fertility. Births of baby pigs are decreased and feral hog populations decrease over time. HogStop is not a poison that will kill the hogs. It should be fed in hog-specific feeders that are designed to keep out all other species.

18

“O am very excited about this new product, HogStop,” Miller said. “This could be a great new weapon in the war on feral hogs. It appears that unlike other hog baits, this is not a poison.

Instead, it interrupts the reproduction of this animal over time, and therefore makes the product more humane.”

A rider in the FY 2022-23 Texas state budger will allow TDS to collaborate with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service on an experimental use program evaluating the efficacy of warfarin as a feral hog control method. Under this pilot project, a warfarin-based pesticide product can be registered for use in the state provided it is approved by the federal EPA and meets the guidelines set forth by Texas A&M AgriLife for this project.

“We’re looking forward to working with Texas A&M AgriLife to get this pilot project underway quickly,” said Miller. “I appreciate legislators giving us the opportunity to evaluate a warfarinbased pesticide once and for all and hopefully getting one registered for use by farmers and ranchers as soon as we can.”

“HogStop, or any other product that is available to help Texas farmers and ranchers curb the damage done by these feral hogs, is welcomed at the Texas Department of Agriculture.” HogStop is considered a 25 (b) pesticide by the EPA, and as such, does not have to be registered by TDA before use.

“Contraceptive baits like HogStop work to strike a blow against the exponential growth of the feral hog population in Texas,” said Miller. “As we fight to find other ways to eradicate these pests, these kinds of products can knock down the numbers over a period of time.”

5 DAYS, 18 STUDENTS, OVER 1,500 MILES AND 1 UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE

Texas Pork Leadership Camp 2021 When summer comes around families are busy with vacations, baseball games and most of all CAMPS! So what if you could go to a camp that taught the ins and outs of real pork production, plus leadership and advocacy, or should I say, “AGvocacy?” Well that’s what the Texas Pork Leadership Camp is all about! Select students from across the state get the opportunity for an inside look of the true pork industry from farm to fork. Not only do they gain hands-on experience, but they interact with industry leaders who volunteer their time to educate and answer any questions the campers may have. This year TPPA got the opportunity to travel over 1,500 miles in five days, with 18 ready-to-learn and excited campers!

Day 1: Welcome to TPPA Headquaters Camp kicked off at the TPPA office in Lubbock, then we traveled to West Texas A&M University where the campers met Dr. Tanner Robertson, Assistant professor of Agriculture Media and Communications, and his crew. The campers learned ways to send positive messages about agriculture, and how to talk to the media about telling our story. The day kept rolling as we got the opportunity to tour the state-of-the-art agricultural teaching complex and arena.

Day 2: Shower Time!!!

Day two got off to an early start with a tour of the JBS Longview East Farm. The campers had the opportunity to experience a shower in/out facility, as well as get a better look at their daily operations and how they care for the animals. Their employees talked all about how they efficiently handle breeding, gestation and farrowing, and even got the chance to breed and farrow some of their own.These campers and counselors left gaining so much knowledge not only on how much JBS cares about the safety of their pigs, but also their employees, community and customers. Then we headed north to Guymon, Oklahoma to tour the Seaboard Farms processing facility. With this tour campers were able to get a little more information about the food on our plates and how it gets there. Lastly, we traveled back to Canyon where the campers heard from Dr. Rebecca Robbins, DVM, PhD, Resident Director of the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory in Canyon. The campers got to tour the lab and get a better understanding of diseases that affect the swine industry.

Day 3: Pork Wars!!

To start day three off, the campers were at Texas Tech University where the campers heard from Dr. Amy Petry as she went over Feed & Nutrition, Dr. Ryan Rathmann as he covered live market hog evaluation and gave an ultrasound demonstration. Then, Dr. Petry and Dr. Jeff Wiegert covered the digestive tract and reproductive tract of swine. Lastly, the kids enjoyed an intense EPD game; where they learned how to pick the right genetic profiles for their farm, but also how to bargain. They also covered Biotechnology in the swine industry with Dr. Wiegert, where they had to put their debating skills to the test. Then, a crowd favorite, “Pork Wars” was underway at the FiberMax Center for Discovery. Each team created their very own pork product and side dish then presented to a group of “celebrity” judges.

Day 4: Wreck ‘em

Thursday morning was spent at Texas Tech University, Dr. Amy Petry presented a Biosecurity and Germ Lab, where the campers got to learn the importance of biosecurity. A quick trip to Wintex Farms was next on the list, to say the kids were excited to see one of the most successful hog farms was an understatement. Jay and Will Winter were generous enough to show us around their farm and tell us how and why they do the things they do. We saw everything from some of the best boars in the industry today to genetics and barn layout. Next, we headed to HEB, the campers learned about the importance of marketing for consumers, including the store layout and product labeling. Afterward, we traveled back to tech where the campers got the opportunity to fab out multiple pork carcasses to get a better idea of how the product ends up on our plates. Now it’s not all just seeing hundreds of pigs at every awesome tour after tour at TPLC! There was a much deserved fun night of fun at the Adventure Park!

Day 5: Time for The Hot Seat!

Throughout the week campers had worked on how to handle different scenarios concerning animal welfare, food safety and environmental sustainability; campers even had a group discussion about the scenarios with Brooke & Brandon. They discussed how consumers can be misinformed or misinterpret agricultural practices and the vital need to educate them. After a week of preparation and media training campers were given one of the scenarios and had a taped interview with Brooke. Not only were campers able to watch themselves afterwards and see what they could improve on, but the rest of the students were able to see what each one did great and use that for the future! Lastly, the campers endured an intense quiz bowl competition to test the knowledge they gained throughout the week.

Though this week was packed full of tours with late nights and early mornings, these campers were always up and ready to learn. This was a great group of students and we thank you for all of your hard work and respect you showed throughout the week!

Thank you to all of our 2021 Texas Pork Leadership hosts!

Camp would not have been possible without all of you!

Youth Spotlight

Cooper Ford

Weslaco, TX 4F Livestock

It is a hot, humid Sunday morning, deep in the Valley with their very first litter of pigs coming soon, and they thought to theirselves, “we have a day before she’s due, let’s spend this Sunday fishing”, Cooper, his dad, and sisters head out and have a great day offshore fishing, but his mom in her Sunday best, not so much. She farrowed out her first sow and ten healthy piglets in her church dress by herself. Fast forward four years and 4F Livestock expects to farrow 17 sows this fall, with his mom there for all the farrowing advice. As we talk to Cooper Ford, our youth spotlight, he reflects over the past four years and their start with that first chester gilt, he says, “It’s so much more than simply raising pigs, it’s the intricate blend of faith, family, friends, and fun!

4F Livestock is something we as a family are proud to shape each and every day.”

36

Cooper’s family is an integral part of both his life and his part in the livestock industry. His three little sisters’, lovingly referred to as his minions, not only help him out at the barn but also help him by being the greatest influences of his life.

Even though they love pushing his buttons and getting on his nerves, he wouldn’t be where he is today without them.

They challenge him and have been his biggest supporters through each and every endeavor. But as quick as he is to thank his sister’s for being his biggest support system, Cooper acknowledges that his biggest role model is his father, Cleve Ford. “From the day I was born, he has stood up for me. He’s definitely a big talker, an avid Christian, a happy spender when it comes to show pigs, the most gracious giver, and the most joyful family man you’ll ever meet. Dad has taught me to stand up for everything that means something to me, no matter how big or how small. He’d gladly walk across the desert with no shoes on his feet, just to share the last bite of bread he’d have to eat. And, one day I hope I can be half the father, businessman, mentor, and show pig enthusiast he is.”

His great uncle, Russell gave him the best advice he’s ever been given. “God gave us two ears and one mouth to do twice as much listening as talking.” From that Cooper has learned to sit back and listen and be sure to understand everything that others are saying, because you never know the wisdom you will pick up in a conversation. Which if you know Cooper like we got to know him, he must do a lot of listening.

Throughout showing and raising show pigs Cooper has discovered some tests along the way. Cooper states, time is the the number one challenge. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done between school, work, family, livestock, and extracurriculars.

Challenging to juggle everything is tough but come show day, it’s all worth it. A can of Red Bull gets his adrenaline pumping and once the show has started, there’s nothing else in the world that compares to that adrenaline rush Cooper gets, particularly at the San Antonio Livestock Exposition. Cooper says, “San Antonio is my all-time favorite show. There’s something about the friendships made in the jammed packed barn that I love, and I know the fairgrounds like the back of my hand. It’s the show where I first placed at, the first concert I ever went to, the first major I hauled to by myself, and it’s the show where I learned what raising hogs is all about.”

As active and inquisitive as he is he has ventured off and tried a little bit of everything outside of pigs. Although the sheep and goat world didn’t work out, they had some great mentors in the cattle barn and have been fortunate enough to be able to show steers competitively his last few years of high school. Ultimately, Cooper’s passion lies with hogs and still sees his future staying mainly in the hog barn. He is extremely excited for the future of the herd in Weslaco and his sisters’ show ring trips in the future. Cooper hopes that one day people want to drive all the way to practically Mexico just to come look at 4F Livestock.

Something cooper really enjoys is growth. Not only the growth and development of livestock, but as well the growth of relationship with variable people you cross paths with along the way. Day in and day out, we as producers are blessed with the opportunity to watch God’s creation prosper with the objective of feeding America, as well as feeding youth in agriculture opportunities. Seeing people grow through the most unique opportunities by raising livestock is arguably the most fascinating and rewarding aspect of our industry.”

38

When not out at the barn or at a pig show you can find Cooper out fishing and hunting. His parents own a boat company, so every chance he got to be on the water with friends and family, he took complete advantage. Cooper made sure that opening day of dove season every year, his schedule was absolutely cleared of all other obligations.

His definition of a prime afternoon is, “Watching pups run after whitewing and wading through fields of sunflowers, all while listening to Aggie football over the truck speakers.” Come August 2021, you will find Cooper in College Station at Kyle Field shouting and screaming as the newest, loudest, and proudest fighting Texas Aggie.

Cooper will attend Texas A&M University this fall and major in Animal Science. Growing up he has been exposed to politics, production agriculture and education and he hopes to continue to grow in the life and knowledge of agriculture. Cooper states that agriculture is his culture, and will take any opportunity for servant leadership, public speaking and showing livestock. From the start, he found his passion while exhibiting livestock, discovered the power of his voice through public speaking and developed such humbling feelings while leading in 4-H and FFA. Cooper wants to stand up, serve, and lead agriculture. “You see, nothing else will have the ability to go right, if agriculture goes wrong. I long to make a difference in the industry that made a difference in me, by working to professionally influence legislature and provide common agricultural education on Capitol Hill.”

First Time Showing

“It was a cold January morning, one I can still feel, as the Weslcao school barn seemed more like a warzone trying for the first time ever to load my little market cross gilt, Skout. My parents wanted me to have at least one show ring experience before RGVLS, but with my dad out of town, we were faced with a little challenge. We asked my great uncle to haul the creaky red trailer we borrowed from a friend and walked in doe-eyed and didn’t even have to act like we were completely green. A gallon of dry shampoo and a brush later, little Skout and I were ready for the ring with our old school slapper whip. I walked into the ring, with my pig more showing me, than me showing her, but I earned a 2nd in class ribbon. To this day, that red ribbon still hangs proud on my wall alongside banners from around the state; it reminds me where I’ve come from, and the genuine reason I choose to raise livestock every day.”

Most Memorable Show Experience

“For years we tried so hard to bring home the banner at our home show, the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show. Last year though, that was the last thing on our mind as COVID was quickly stripping away our chances to show at RGVLS. Thankfully, we were able to get all our hogs in the barn and the show started. I made the sale with my hamp barrow, a kid in our show team won his breed, and we were thankful, but the real thing to be thankful for was my sister winning grand. We took a good set, but honestly never thought she had it till just then! Before she even stepped in the ring she was penned back, time and time again. I’ll always remember jumping out of the stands, busting my butt, and sprinting to the back to hug her and celebrate. In the midst of such a scary time, there was suddenly so much faith, hope, and joy… something I’ll never forget.”

Favorite Showpig

“My favorite hog, by a long shot, was Fred. He drove on the green chips in Houston my eighth grade year and rounded out my season being the first ever major sale maker in our barn! Fred was extra special, because we bred him. He came out of our first litter that year, that was unfortunately an emergency c-section. We only saved him and a gilt mate, and as a shoutout to the only show on at bottle feeding time, I Love Lucy, they were coined Fred and Ethel. Fred was always a champion, and not just at the backdrop all year, but in people’s hearts too. That one pig taught me what it truly means when they say it takes an army, and I’m forever grateful for the relationships Fred brought me!”

T R SHOW

It’s already that time to start filling your barns with barrows and gilts for our spring major shows. With showmanship being such an important part of success in the showring, we asked two accomplished showman what they do in the beginning.

Ashlyn Summers (Waxahachie) has been

champion showman at Fort Worth, Houston, State Fair of Texas, Team Purebred Chickasha Oklahoma, along with multiple Supreme gilts at major stock shows.

Savannah Johnston (Troy) has had Reserve Supreme at Houston, State Fair of Texas, Stockman’s Showcase, and Champion Showman at the State Fair of Texas.

IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY TO START! Ashlyn- “As soon as possible. The sooner you start whip breaking the easier it will be down the road. It’s much easier

to man handle a 70-90lb pig than a 120-150lb pig. At that point they will use their body weight against you. My family and I like to get pigs out at show as soon as possible so we try to work as quickly as we can to get the pigs whip broke. But of course, we try to go the speed of the pig. Just like children, every pig is different and sometimes more challenging.”

44

TRUST & GET ‘EM GOING Savannah- “Getting pigs to trust you is key. The first day

that they are getting used to the barns, I will sit in the pen and usually run a brush and whip over them until they are coming up to me and getting comfortable with me being in the pen. If they trust you and know your habits, it’s easier on them and you at a show. It is important to make it clear what you expect from them is. Don’t be afraid to have a stern hand sometimes.”

MAKE THEM COMFOTABLE TO YOU & THEIR SURRONDINGS Ashlyn- “When it comes to getting the pigs comfortable,

it’s best to leave them in the stall for a couple days to let them get used to the barn and their surroundings. With in that period of time, it’s good to grab a brush and a whip.

With the brush I like to slowly approach the animal in the stall. This helps them get used to you touching them and your presence. With the whip, it helps so much to let the pig chew on it and get used to the the idea of the whip. Also you could rub it all over there body to help them be more comfortable with it.”

LET’S START TO WHIP BREAK Savannah- “Whip breaking can be challenging but it

varies from pig to pig. I start out using two whips to whip break them. I have one whip constantly hitting their side, so they know what their “Go Button” is, while the other is used to show left, right, or their head carriage. I also try to walk my pigs far away from my barns so that they don’t get barn sour. If you have a hill to walk, up put it to use, it gets them away from the barn and builds their stamina.”

WORK THROUGH THE CHALLENGES Ashlyn- “Most challenging part about whip breaking is

feeling like you are not getting anywhere with your pig. It’s easy to just give up walk away and say the pig isn’t trainable.

We are all guilty of this. But you as a showman have to keep trying and maybe try new approach with your pig. There is no right or wrong way to whip break a pig because they are all different.”

Savannah- “One challenge is breaking pigs of their habit to run or run back to the barn. It’s very time consuming and you must be patient with them. Patience and consistency is how to overcome it. If you aren’t consistent nothing will ever stick with them, and it will be a repetitive cycle.”

Livestock judging is the asphalt on my highway of life

I

Allison Schram

magine this...It is 2007, a Saturday morning at a South Texas county fairground where it is hot and humid. Class 1, market hogs, set up in pods, with a 3-foot 7 inch, an 8-year-old girl in a maroon pullover polo with a 4-leaf clover on the left chest frantically trying to push high schoolers out of the way to be able to see at least one pig before the 8-minute time limit is up.

Fast forward 11 years, she’s now 20 years old, 5 foot 1 at the HLSR collegiate livestock judging contest with a class of Hereford market steers. Things haven’t changed much because a 6-foot 6 guy somehow always seems to be standing right in front of her continuously impeding her view. A few months later, it’s discovered that the really short girl and really tall guy were now going to be teammates at Texas Tech, and he later found humor in blocking her view of every single class. From the day I entered my very first livestock judging contest I was always reminded to push my way to the front. I may not have physically grown much over the years, but the one thing that did thrive and prosper was my love for judging. Always being the short one of every friend group may have consumed my life with constant jokes and nicknames, but on a more serious note, livestock judging became my life.

My opportunities through livestock judging were a chain of events that shaped me into the person I am today. I started judging when I was 8 and finally wrapped up my time livestock judging when I was 21. My judging career wasn’t just limited to participating in judging contests over those 13 years. I was also allowed opportunities to judge shows and help 4H and FFA members today with various aspects of their judging and show careers. It has taken me 21 years to realize that everything I have and everything I am is all thanks to my livestock judging career, teams, and coaches.

48

2007

First contest

In 2007 when it all started, I probably inverted all the market hog classes, and I promise you I didn’t get the question about which pig had the extra dewclaw right. I think I was 11th place that day, and at that time I honestly didn’t care. I was just happy to be able to talk again with my friends when the contest was over and play ninja.

2010

First buckle

In 2010, things changed when I won my first livestock judging buckle, followed by another and then another. I started to “want” to judge, but the love for reasons had yet to appear.

2012

FFA start

I have never been known to be a quiet person, but I definitely was a little shy when talking in front of a group of people. I was guilty of avoiding practices because I knew reasons would be a part of that day. I actually vividly remember telling my coach after a contest that I would only continue to judge at the county fairs and not participate in district so that I didn’t have to give reasons. To say that didn’t go over well is quite the understatement. An opportunity developed that allowed me to judge on my own terms. I made the decision to transition into livestock judging for my Jr. FFA chapter and no longer 4-H. It was comforting, to say the least. I was able to continue to compete and do what I loved without having to come out of my comfort zone.

2014

First set of reasons in a contest

My plan of judging FFA and never having to give a set of reasons was ironically turned against me on a day in April of 2014 and I remember it like it was just yesterday. My team was 3rd at the state contest which felt like an incredible accomplishment. After we got in the ag truck to head back home, my ag teacher turned around with a dirty grin on his face and said, “time to start practicing reasons”. I was intimidated. “Walk in a room, talk to a stranger, tell them how and why you placed a class the way you did?”

Absolutely not! Except, giving up wasn’t an option because I have fellow team members that were counting on me, and I couldn’t let them down.

I practiced diligently and developed a method of reason giving that I was comfortable with, and I went through the contest in Kansas City at the American Royal and gave 4 sets of reasons. I survived. I made it through the contest and somehow accomplished 6th place in reasons, 4th overall individual, and Champion team overall.

2017 Blinn

In 2017, I decided to judge at Blinn Junior College. I had finally become comfortable enough to give a set of reasons. Starting out I had no idea what I was doing or why I was there; never would’ve thought that decision would have paved my way to bigger and better things.

2018

First show

In 2018, I got the chance to judge my first (and probably only) jackpot pig show. When I was asked to do it, my feelings were bittersweet. I was absolutely terrified to have to talk on the mic but so excited to finally get to judge a show. Judging the show was one of the best experiences I ever had, but I still remember standing in the middle of the ring, mic in my hand and feeling it just uncontrollably shake. It was absolutely the most fun I’ve ever had judging, and I am happy to say that it was something that I got to experience but I don’t see myself judging in the show ring in the near future again.

2018

First win

My time with my Blinn team in Louisville, Kentucky, at the 2018 North American International Livestock Expo is what made it all worth it.

2019 TTU

My transitions from judging in high school to Blinn College and then to Texas Tech University had its set of differences. I went from judging 20 contests a year to not even 10 contests a year. I went from having a team of 6 to a team of 22 then a team of 26. I started out practicing an hour once a week in high school to about 4 hours twice a week while at Blinn, and even more at tech. From judging 8 classes and 3 questions classes to 12 classes and 8 reasons classes. From contests only lasting two hours to them lasting about 10 hours. From traveling across the state to traveling across the nation. From my brother being my teammate to my brother being one of my coaches. At 22 years old, I can honestly say I have only been out of the state once for something other than a judging contest or a show. Judging collegiately allowed me to see and experience so many new places and 50 things.

Judging can continue to create endless opportunities for anyone’s future like it did mine, whether it’s college plans, an internship, or a career. Once I finally got out of my comfort zone to give a set of reasons, I enhanced my public speaking abilites and developed communications skills. One of the biggest skills I learned throughout judging was, decision making.

There is a limited amount of time to place a class, and in life you are faced with tough decisions that you must make a decision on. Within the past few years I have had to learn to weigh out my options and make different life choices. There is multpile different livestock judging programs throughout the nation that I had to decide where I wanted to go. I first decided that I wanted to attend Junior College and wanted to stay in Texas. That narrowed my options down to Blinn, South Plains, Claredon, Frank Phillips. One can say I have always “bled blue”, and Blinn only being thirty minutes from home just seemed like the perfect choice. Growing up I always thought I would go to A&M, but Livestock judging led me to Texas Tech. I judged for Joe Rathmann at Blinn and he convinced me to give his brother Ryan and Texas Tech a visit. I was in Lubbock for one day, during a haboob and Ryan told me, “if you like it here now with this weather you will love it on a pretty day”, Lubbock and Texas Tech had so much to offer and judging for both Rathmann brothers has always been a dream of mine. Moving 7 and a half hours from home and my family was a lot harder than I was ever expecting. It took me about a semester and half to finally get comfortable in Lubbock and start building friendships. Now, I can’t imagine ever leaving Lubbock because I have grown to truly love it here.

During my time at Blinn and Tech, I was given the opportunity to intern at multiple shows, but specifically S.A.L.E Breeding Gilt show, S.A.L.E Market Barrow Show, and the Texas Elite Showcase. When working at these shows in 2018, 2019, and 2021 I began to build relationships with new people. This is where I met Brandon Gunn and learned more about what the Texas Pork Producers Association is all about. Interning at those shows is what really showed me my desire and passion to continue in a career in the show industry and ultimately introduced me to the summer internship at TPPA. From starting judging at 8 years old to judging collegiately, every part of it has got me where I am today, and for that, I am forever grateful.

Low Inventory, Sky-High Foodservice Demand, and Labor Issues Fuel Prices for Grill-Ready Items One of the more ubiquitous items going into the Fourth of July Celebrations are ribs. We have seen demand ebb and flow in the past, but nothing in previous experience compares to this.

USDA-AMS recently quoted the price of baby back ribs over $5 a pound, 61% higher than a year ago and 94% higher than the same time in 2019. Understanding what has been driving prices to this point should help in formulating a plan for the upcoming holiday as well as future feature activity.

Normal Q1 Inventory Build Did Not Happen

Normally market participants anticipate the surge in demand that happens in the spring and summer by building inventories when demand is not as strong, and supplies are ample. Typically, the supply of ribs in the freezer will double from August to February.

However, according to the monthly USDA-NASS ‘Cold Storage’ survey, this year the inventory build was far less than normal, and by the end of April, freezer stocks were 27% lower than the five-year average.

Rising COVID cases in the winter and the uncertain future is likely the main reason for the lower inventory build, and retailers are now paying the price for the industry decisions made last winter.

Foodservice Rebound Exceeds Expectations

Last year, retailers had the market mostly to themselves. While prices increased due to the shift from foodservice to retail, the lack of competition from barbecue places and other foodservice operators helped keep the market in check.

Now that foodservice demand is back, and they have little freezer stock, the race is on to outbid each other. Pork ribs are not the only items that are affected by this competition. We ran a price ratio of pork ribs vs. briskets, another popular barbecue restaurant item. Currently, the price multiple of baby back ribs vs. briskets is about one to one, right in the middle of the 10-year range. Baby back ribs have become less expensive relative to ribs than a year ago.

58

Labor, Not Hog Numbers, is the Issue Hog processing is only one of many industries that are currently struggling with a tight labor pool and high costs.

So far in 2021, hog slaughter has been higher than we expected from the March inventory survey.

According to USDA data analyzed by Steiner Consulting, weekly hog slaughter in April averaged 2.456 million head, up 3% compared to April 2019 (comparisons to last year are skewed by COVID disruptions). And weekly slaughter in May averaged 2.394 million head, 2% higher than in 2019.

With limited labor supply, packers are asking more for items that require additional labor, such as boning loins.

Given the competition mentioned above and the limited supply in the freezer, the packer can ask for more money and get it.

Are High Prices Here to Stay?

We expect prices for ribs and other fresh pork items to pull back from current levels. Indeed, some of that has already occurred, with the rib primal on June 17 down $78/cwt or 26% compared to pre-Memorial Day prices.

Some of the bull whip effect that we have experienced after lifting COVID restrictions will subside.

In 2014, the last time prices were at current levels, wholesale prices in November were down 32% from the summer peak. However, we do think that overall pork price inflation will be well above average levels in the short to medium term.

One driver of inflation will be the increase in feed costs, by far the highest operating expense for producers. Corn prices are currently hovering around $6.50 per bushel, more than double the average of the last three years.

Supply availability will improve in the fall, with slaughter back to 2.7 million head per week. Unfortunately, the broader inflationary trends in the economy will continue to affect the pork market.

WHAT IS PORK BELLY? Pork Belly is the boneless cut that remains after the loin and spareribs are removed. Pork belly comes from a hog’s belly’ or underside after the loin and spareribs have been removed. Fresh pork belly is succulent and richly flavorful and is often served in small portions. Pork belly is at its best and is most tender when prepared using a slow cooking method, such as braising. Pork belly is the flesh from the belly area of the pig. When sliced and cured, it becomes bacon. Left whole or cut into smaller chunks, pork belly responds well to moist heat cooking, turning it fork-tender. Pork belly is a popular menu item among restaurant chefs who appreciate its versatility, flavor, and texture.

WHAT DOES PORK BELLY TASTE LIKE? It’s salty, it’s meaty, and it’s hearty. When kept whole, pork belly has an incredibly rich flavor thanks to the thick layer of fat that runs along the top. When cured and smoked, it’s packed with the irresistible umami flavor that makes bacon so tempting.

HOW AND WHERE CAN YOU BUY PORK BELLY? Finding pork belly is easier than you might’ve thought! It can be bought in a whole slab form your local butcher or grocery store or purchased pre-sliced in bacon and pancetta form.

60

HOW DO I STORE PORK BELLY? Uncooked pork belly that is wrapped tightly or stored in an airtight container (like a zip top bag) can be stored in the refrigerator for about three to five days or in the freezer for up to six months. Leftovers should also be stored in an airtight container, well-sealed in the refrigerator overnight for up to two days.

HOW DO I COOK PORK BELLY? Pork belly performs quite well when cooked low and slow. The connective tissue in the meat needs time to break down slowly, allowing the fat to render out and the meat to become fork-tender. For best results, score the fat on the top with a knife, sprinkle with salt and pepper or your own spice rub, then sear until super crispy. Transfer the meat to a Dutch oven and allow it to braise (crispy skin side up) for a few hours, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees and the meat pulls apart. There are multiple ways to cook pork belly if you aren’t going to use it to make homemade bacon. Common methods include roasting, smoking, and searing and can be used as the main feature or enhancement to any menu.

WHAT TO DO WITH PORK BELLY ?

WHY NOT CURE IT AND MAKE YOUR OWN BACON?

bAcon vS. PorK bElly: whAt’S thE diffErEncE? You’re probably aware that bacon has experienced quite a popularity boom in the United States. You’ll find it piled next to eggs, sprinkled atop soups, or serving as added flavor and texture in salads. You can even enjoy bacon dipped in chocolate if the sweet and savory pique your taste buds. But you’d be forgiven for confusing pork bacon with its parent cut, pork belly. Both succulent cuts of pork are sourced from the pig’s fatty abdominal region, but they are not quite one and the same. We’ll break down the differences between pork belly vs. bacon, and give you a thorough understanding of each cut. Let’s dig in on the two fatty and delicious cuts of meat, starting with bacon.

WHAT IS BACON? You may think you know bacon, but how do we get it? What makes for quality bacon, and what are the different ways it’s prepared? We’re here to answer those burning questions. The bacon we most often encounter in the U.S. is streaky pork bacon, which is cut from the pork belly, or fleshy underside of the pig. It is technically pork belly, but pork belly isn’t necessarily bacon. We’ll break down that difference later on. This streaky bacon, also known as side bacon, features layers of fat alternating with layers of muscle that run parallel to the skin of the pig, also called the rind. Bacon can also be sourced from the back, collar, shoulder, and jowls. There is, of course, “bacon” alternatives cut from cows, turkeys, and chicken too. In the U.S., pork bacon is commonly salt-cured or brined. Oftentimes, the bacon featured most prominently at the grocery store contains unhealthy compounds like nitrates and nitrites for color and extended shelf-life. Bacon without these compounds are often carried by some grocery stores, but they can be more difficult to find. And if you love crispy bacon, there’s a good chance you’ll love pork belly, too.

WHAT IS PORK BELLY? Pork belly is the uber-fatty and rich portion of meat cut from the belly of the pig. It’s uncured, and often sold in big slabs, making its preparations much different from sliced streaky bacon. Pork belly is as unctuous a cut of meat as you can get, and it’s popular in cuisines the world over. You’ll find it braised in Chinese cuisine, or deep-fried in Filipino cuisine. It can also be roasted and grilled. However you prepare it, pork belly is fall-apart tender and will melt in your mouth when cooked properly. Just be careful not to overcook it and cause the muscle and fat to seize up and turn rubbery. Since pork belly is uncured, you don’t have to worry about preservatives like nitrates or nitrites.

62

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PORK BELLY AND BACON? So, streaky pork bacon is pork belly, but pork belly isn’t bacon. Instead, pork belly is the whole slab cut from the fleshy underside of a pig. Streaky pork bacon is cut from this slab. Pork belly is unsmoked and uncured, while much bacon found in the U.S. can undergo a lot of processing, though. While pork belly is, you know, always pork belly, bacon can actually be sourced from different parts of the pig like the back, collar, shoulder, and jowls. In fact, bacon can be cut from entirely different animals, like cows, turkey, and chicken. The biggest difference between bacon and pork belly, though, is how you prepare the two.

WHEN TO USE PORK BELLY VS. BACON Not sure when to use bacon over pork belly? Let’s break it down. Bacon is delectable on its own, but it’s also an incredible ingredient for enhancing recipes. It’s most commonly pan-fried, but you can also bake it, grill it, and microwave it.

It lends itself well to savory dishes with its salty succulence, but it’s just as delicious in sweet treats, too. Pork belly, meanwhile, is delicious braised, roasted, fried, and grilled. You’ll find lots of different worldly preparations, like Chinese braised pork belly, or crispy deep-fried Filipino lechon kawali. However you cook your pork belly, take special care not to overdo it—keep it rich and fall-apart tender, not rubbery.

USE BACON IF YOU’RE:

• Adding a crispy, salty accoutrement to pastas, salads, side dishes, and more • Making a breakfast sandwich • Wrapping something—like avocado slices, chunks of pineapple, or shrimp • Making a salty-sweet treat, like dark chocolate bacon bark USE PORK BELLY IF YOU’RE:

• Slow-cooking • Oven-roasting • Deep-frying • Making a stew • Making noodle dishes like ramen • Braising • Grilling

Robbins named new director for Canyon laboratory

T

he Texas A&M System Board of Regents has named Rebecca Robbins, DVM, PhD as the new director for the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory’s (TVMDL) Canyon laboratory located at 3209 Russell Long Boulevard, Canyon TX. The lab is uniquely situated in the Panhandle to serve the region’s livestock industry.

Dr. Robbins comes to TVMDL from Seaboard Foods where she served as the senior production veterinarian for over eight years. There, she managed a team of 11 employees who were responsible for the health of over 275,000 sows and their offspring, in addition to overseeing the genetic development of replacement gilts and boars.

“TVMDL is excited to have Dr. Robbins join the agency,” Bruce Akey, MS, DVM, TVMDL director, said. “Her experience in production agriculture and emergency preparedness will both serve as invaluable assets as we expand our reach in the Texas Panhandle.”

Prior to her tenure at Seaboard Foods, Dr. Robbins was the staff veterinarian at Murphy-Brown, LLC where she was responsible for interpreting diagnostic reports, developing diagnostic monitoring protocols, and managed the veterinary care of over 80,000 sows and gilts. Dr. Robbins also brings clinical experience to the agency from her time as a part-time associate veterinarian.

Dr. Robbins earned three degrees from North Carolina State University. In 2004, she earned a Bachelor of Science while double majoring in poultry science and biological science and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine with a food animal focus in 2009. Rounding out her time at North Carolina State University, Dr. Robbins earned a PhD in 2016 while extensively studying antibiotics in pork production.

She has presented, authored, and co-authored research for over 30 peer-reviewed journals and professional conferences.

Dr. Robbins is also a member of the American Association of Swine Veterinarians and the American Veterinary Medical Association in addition to having served on over a dozen different professional committees and advisory boards.

Dr. Robbins is available for diagnostic consultation or educational events to speak about disease surveillance, biosecurity, Secure Pork Supply and foreign animal diseases (FADs).

TVMDL is an agency within the Texas A&M System. The agency includes two full-service laboratories in College Station and Canyon and two poultry laboratories in Center and Gonzales. Annually, the agency performs over 1 million diagnostic tests for a variety of companion, exotic, and food animal species. TVMDL-Canyon is a full service, NAHLN Level 1 laboratory. This means the location can perform necropsy, PCR and bacterial culture as well as testing for foreign animal diseases including African Swine Fever (ASF), Classical Swine Fever (CSF) and Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD). FAD testing is currently performed at the lab only at the discretion of State Animal Health Officials.

Thus far in 2021, 1121 submissions from domestic pigs or 7% of the total number of food animal cases received. TVMDL performs testing for significant swine pathogens including Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory disease virus (PRRSv), Porcine Circovirus type 2 (PCV2), Porcine enteric coronaviruses including PEDv, PDCoV and TGEv, and Influenza. The most common testing performed is Pseudorabies gB ELISA and Brucella abortus/suis Card agglutination usually requested prior to sale, interstate transport or exhibition.

For more information on porcine or other testing at TVMDL, visit tvmdl.tamu.edu.

Secure Pork Supply Plan

In the Event of a Foreign Animal Disease Outbreak What is the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan?

• Provides a workable business continuity plan for sites that are under movement restrictions but not infected with foot and mouth disease (FMD), classical swine fever (CSF), or African swine fever (ASF) • Offers movement guidance for producers and officials managing the outbreak • Provides biosecurity and surveillance tools for producers

Business Continuity

Biosecurity Why is the Secure Pork Supply Plan needed?

• Help sites in Control Areas whose pigs have no signs of FMD, CSF, or ASF continue to move animals • Limit carcass disposal problems and lost income for sites, haulers, processors, and grocers • Maintain the supply of pork and pork products to consumers because FMD, CSF, or ASF are not a public health or food safety concern

SECURE PORK SUPPLY www.securepork.org

How will the U.S. respond to an FMD, CSF, or ASF outbreak?

• Response will focus on stopping the spread of these animal diseases • Control Areas will be set up around infected and surrounding farms • Movement restrictions will be put in place for animals and animal products in regulatory Control Areas

Movement Guidance

Surveillance How can you voluntarily participate in the Secure Pork Supply Plan?

• Contact your State Animal Health Official to request a Premises Identification Number (PIN) • Visit the Secure Pork Supply website www.securepork.org • Develop your site’s SPS Plan using the materials available in English and Spanish

The Secure Pork Supply Plan is primarily funded by USDA. Additional funding is provided by the Pork Checkoff.

142

www.securepork.org

2017

TO PREPARE PRIOR TO AN OUTBREAK: Request a National Premises Identification Number (PremID or PIN) from the office of your State Animal Health

Official: Having a PIN facilitates requesting movement permits during an outbreak.

Implement Enhanced Biosecurity: Implementing the items in the Self-Assessment Checklist for Enhanced Pork

Production Biosecurity for Animals Raised Indoors, including developing a site-specific biosecurity plan, will help prevent entry and spread of foreign and domestic animal diseases. Documents for pigs raised outdoors are in development.

Conduct Surveillance Sampling: Designated individuals on each production site should be trained to collect oral

fluid and nasal swab samples. These designated individuals should periodically practice sample collection, and sample collection supplies should be maintained on the premises. Animal caretakers should also be able to recognize abnormal findings (clinical signs and/or changes in production parameters) associated with FMD, CSF, and ASF. Educational materials are available in English and Spanish on the SPS website at www.securepork.org.

Maintain Movement Records: Maintaining accurate records of movement of animals, feed, supplies, equipment, personnel, and visitors enables producers to provide accurate trace-back information. In addition, producers should maintain records of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of animal transporters (truckers), employed personnel, feed suppliers, etc. Producers can use the Secure Pork Supply Practice Questionnaire (available at www. securepork.org) to get a feel for what it is like to provide the information needed in an outbreak.

To Request a Secure Food Supply Movement Permit During an Outbreak Before requesting a Secure Food Supply movement permit for pigs or semen, both the premises of origin and the premises of destination need to have a National PIN, and the premises and State of destination need to be willing to accept the animals. Instructions for requesting a permit for movement will be made available in the event of an outbreak.

For any permitted movement, the Origin State can request documentation from the premises making the request. This documentation may include: •A completed copy of the Biosecurity Checklist and the site-specific biosecurity plan •Written assurance by the producer of compliance with this Biosecurity Checklist or documentation of verification by a third party •Epidemiological information •Information demonstrating normal health status for the animals on the production site involved (such as swine health monitoring documents and/or Certificate of Veterinary Inspection signed by an Accredited Veterinarian at the time the animals are loaded) •Diagnostic testing results from samples tested •For animal movements to another production site, the destination premises must indicate that they are willing to accept the animals

Movement Permit Guidance for Pigs or Semen within a Control Area during an FMD, CSF or ASF Response PERMITTING GUIDANCE FOR MOVEMENT OF PIGS OR SEMEN 1) Traceability Information is available (PIN, GPS Coordinates, and information on type and number of animals/quantity of semen to be moved) 2) Biosecurity measures listed in the Biosecurity Checklist are in place and acceptable to Responsible Regulatory Officials 3) Epidemiological information is acceptable 4) Destination premises and State are willing to accept the animals or semen 5) No evidence of infection based on surveillance 6) Permit guidance to move pigs or semen if all above responses are “Yes”

CONDITION MET? Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Consider Issuing MOVEMENT PERMIT 143

During an FAD outbreak, it is the producer’s responsibility to keep their animals from becoming infected, focusing on what they can control on their site. Biosecurity approaches are both structural and operational. Structural biosecurity is built into the physical construction and maintenance of a facility. Operational biosecurity involves management practices designed to prevent the introduction and spread of disease agents onto or off of the production site. An FAD will test the effectiveness of operational biosecurity practices because successful implementation of these practices depends on the awareness and behavior of individuals on the site.

Existing biosecurity plans for pork production sites may offer protection against endemic diseases but heightened precautions are needed for FADs. The enhanced biosecurity recommendations outlined are based on the known exposure routes for the main FADs of concern. This document emphasizes four concepts that all pork production sites must implement to help protect their animals from endemic diseases and to be prepared in the event of an FAD outbreak in the U.S.: ☑A Biosecurity Manager ☑A written, site-specific, enhanced biosecurity plan ☑A defined Perimeter Buffer Area ☑A defined Line of Separation.

STEPS TO ENHANCE YOUR BIOSECURITY Biosecurity Manager and Written Plan A Biosecurity Manager is identified for the site. This individual is responsible for developing the biosecurity plan with the assistance of the herd veterinarian (if the Biosecurity Manager is not a veterinarian) and ensuring biosecurity training of, or communicating biosecurity measures with, all individuals who enter the site. The Biosecurity Manager has the written authority to ensure compliance with biosecurity protocols and take corrective action as needed.

Protecting the Pig Herd Site Entry

Entry to the pork production site is restricted by a limited number of entry points. Each entry point is protected with a gate or suitable barrier (e.g. cable) which is locked when the facility is not attended. If a locked barrier is not possible at the site entrance (such as when a house uses the same driveway), a barrier must be present restricting access of unauthorized vehicles to the pork production facilities within the site. Signage at the site entry conveys the access is restricted.

Designated Parking Area

There is a clearly marked, designated parking area outside of the PBA, away from animal areas, for vehicles that will not enter the PBA and have not been cleaned and disinfected.

Perimeter Buffer Area (PBA)

The site has a PBA(s), which is the first line of defense to protect pigs housed within the perimeter. It is established to serve as an outer control boundary around the buildings to limit movement of virus near animal housing. The PBA is established so that individuals can perform duties within the PBA during the course of their daily tasks and so that routine deliveries occur outside of the PBA as much as possible. The PBA is clearly defined in the biosecurity plan and is clearly marked around animal buildings on the premises.

When determining the best location for the PBA, the following should be considered: -Traffic on roadways -Effect of weather conditions on drive paths near the PBA -Daily routines on the site -Location of living quarters on the premises -Select the fewest number of PBA’s

144

S

PBA Access Point(s)

Entry to the PBA is restricted to a limited number of controlled PBA Access Points. Each PBA Access Point is clearly marked with a sign and protected with a suitable barrier (e.g. cable, gate, rope). Vehicles and equipment moving through the PBA Access Points should be cleaned to remove visible contamination and then disinfected. Movement of people into the PBA must include putting on cleaned and disinfected footwear or new, disposable footwear and disposable gloves or apply hand sanitizer as they cross into the PBA or as they leave their vehicle if parked within the PBA.

Cleaning and Disinfection (C&D) Station

There is an operational, clearly marked, and equipped C&D station with the means to remove visible contamination and then disinfect vehicles, equipment, and items needing to enter the PBA at a PBA Access Point.

Line of Separation (LOS)

The LOS is established as the “last line of defense” to isolate pigs from potential sources of disease. The site has one or more LOS, which is established as a control boundary to prevent movement of virus into areas where susceptible animals can be exposed. In many situations, the walls of the building housing the animals form the LOS. The LOS is clearly defined in the biosecurity plan and is clearly marked on the premises. Animals, people, or items only cross the LOS through clearly marked and controlled LOS Access Points(s), following appropriate biosecurity measures. Areas contaminated after loading/unloading animals are cleaned and disinfected according to the biosecurity plan.

LOS Access Point(s)

Crossing the LOS is restricted to a limited number of controlled LOS Access Points. Each LOS Access Point is clearly marked with a sign in a language understood by all entering. Equipment, people, and items crossing through the LOS Access Points follow specific biosecurity measures. While the load-out area is a LOS Access Point, it should not serve as an entry point for personnel when possible. All movements (animals, equipment, people) across the LOS are recorded and available for review upon request.

Vehicles and Equipment

All records of vehicle and equipment movements by date and time onto the site should be maintained and made available to Responsible Regulatory Officials in the event it is needed for a trace-back or trace-forward investigation.

Personnel

Prior to Arriving at the Site

Access is limited to individuals who are essential to the operation of the production site. Everyone crossing the LOS arrives at the site having showered and wearing clean clothing and footwear since last contacting susceptible animals.

Entry Logbook

Everyone crossing the LOS Access Point(s) completes the entry logbook, unless they are a scheduled worker. The contact information and work schedule records for workers are maintained.

Biosecure Entry/Exit Procedures

All individuals entering the PBA or crossing the LOS at a controlled Access Point follow a biosecurity entry and exit procedure as specified in the biosecurity plan.

Crossing the LOS

All individuals crossing the LOS should: •Shower in and shower out when/if facilities are available.

•Wear site-specific coveralls and footwear that is provided. Footwear change is mandatory when crossing the LOS. •Wash hands, apply hand sanitizer, or put on disposable or disinfectable gloves as they cross the LOS. •The same procedure will be followed in reverse when crossing back across the LOS to the outside of the building.

•Clean and disinfect items crossing the LOS. The Bench Entry System is an example of a Biosecure Entry Procedure for people to cross at an LOS Access Point, if there is not a shower in/out setup. This system includes a dedicated entrance area. The LOS Access Point is identified with a disinfectable solid barrier (sealed plywood, plastic bench) that clearly demarcates the separation between the entry and animal areas. On the pig side of the line, site-specific coveralls or clothing and footwear are available as well as handwashing facilities. An example of a Bench Entry System that could be implemented is shown below.

Animal and Semen Movement

Pigs and semen (if applicable) come from sources with documented, enhanced biosecurity practices and no current or recent evidence of an FAD infection. Semen is transported in containers whose exteriors can be cleaned and disinfected effectively to minimize the risk of virus transmission.

Carcass Disposal

Dead pigs are disposed of in a manner that prevents the attraction of wildlife, rodents, and other scavengers. Rendering trucks and other vehicles hauling dead pigs to a common disposal site do not enter the PBA.

Manure Management

Manure is stored and removed in a manner that prevents exposure of susceptible animals (either on or off the premises of origin) to disease agents and meets state, local, and Responsible Regulatory Officials’ requirements.

Rodent, Fly and Wildlife Control

Written rodent and fly control programs are in place and implementation is documented. Facilities are designed and maintained to inhibit all animals, especially feral pigs, and including birds, from crossing the LOS and contacting pigs.

Feed

Grain and feed are delivered, stored, mixed, and fed in a manner that minimizes contamination. Feed spills are cleaned up promptly and disposed of to avoid attracting wildlife.

Print Advertisements Reasons why print advertisements ARE STILL necessary

In a world where social media reigns king, how important are print advertisements anymore?

Even in today’s digital world, print advertisement is a key area of marketing that will make your marketing strategies well rounded. In the livestock industry, print advertisement will never go out of style. Below are some key reasons why print ads are still relevant and some tips to think about when designing your next ad!

TANGIBLE Print advertisements provide your clients with something in their hands, something tangible for them to look at. Printed materials, whether that be a flyer or an ad in a magazine, are physical items. We all have that stack of magazines sitting on our coffee table or in our bathroom, which equates to your print advertisement staying in the homes and under the eyes of people long after just the quick glance they may give it. Unlike a social media post that people may look at and then scroll on, never to be seen again, these forms of print media can create lasting impressions with people.

CREDIBLE Print advertisements have been the go-to form of marketing in the livestock industry for decades. Even with the rise of social media, a print advertisement establishes your credibility among multiple generations of livestock enthusiasts. The younger generation still enjoys picking up a magazine to flip through at a show, meanwhile, those in the older generation are most likely to immediately go to the magazine to look for new and upcoming genetics and operations.

REACHES MORE DEMOGRAPHICS Like just previously stated, you don’t have a well-rounded marketing plan if you aren’t including print media. Notching all of the boxes from a marketing standpoint ensures that you reach everyone. Flyers at events become interactive for multiple generations and create a call to action. They cause people to generate interest in what you are selling or advertising, making people want to call or talk about what you have to offer.

148

Even more so in the industry, the magazine publication has always been and will continue to be an area of advertisement that is very popular. Anytime you go to a sale or even a show, you can find a magazine to pick up. While you’re sitting in the barn waiting to show and need to kill some time, what do you do? You flip through the magazine to look at all the cool ads and articles in the latest issue. If you aren’t advertising your sales or winners in a popular show publication, you’re missing out on gaining the attention of everyone at major show events.

LESS IS MORE Just like anything else, print advertisements can get cluttered and overwhelming if not designed properly. We can tend to want to overwhelm people with numbers and information when creating an advertisement, when in fact— less is more. Print advertisements allow you to provide your clients or potential clients with just a little bit of information. Therefore, it is important to focus on creating a visually appealing layout that draws the attention of the viewer, instead of cluttering too much information on one page. You don’t want to provide people with so much they either feel overwhelmed or don’t see any reason to inquire further past what they’ve seen on the ad.

Focus on highlighting the important things, making a visually stunning ad, and causing people to want to learn more about you or your operation past what you have provided them.

In the livestock industry—print isn’t dead!

STAMINA

ENDURANCE

With our fall majors, the State Fair of Texas & Heart of Texas Fair, just around the corner, it’s about to be show time! The level of competition is so high and your hog’s ability “to go” and hold together in the show ring is ever more important. Being able to last in class and breed drives is paramount to your success, so it is critical to work and build up your hog’s stamina prior to the show. Kiersten Bourquin and Tristanne Rasco, of Lubbock, have some great advice for making sure your hog has the endurance needed to win.

Tristanne

Q: HOW DO YOU BUILD UP YOUR PIG’S SHOW RING STAMINA? Kiersten- I work with my pigs daily to build showring stamina. I

start walking and training my pigs from a young age and set goals each week to walk for a certain amount of time. Each week the walking time goes up and the pigs adjust well to it. From the time the pigs came home to my barn as babies up until the day I left for the show, they are walked daily which builds up their stamina and gets them show ring ready.

Tristanne- I agree, but personally, we don’t necessarily walk for

endurance until it’s closer to the show. We have telephone poles down our driveway, so that’s what we use as a benchmark for working towards building stamina. The distance to the first telephone pole was about 4-5 minutes long, and then we would work up to the next one, then the next one, and ultimately make it to the last pole which was about a 25 min walk there and back. This would help with their lungs and stamina to make it through the holding pens, showring, and back into the drive.

164164

Q:

DO YOU DO ANYTHING IN THE SHOW RING TO HELP?

Tristanne- Absolutely, if I know one’s stamina is not incredible or one that likes to throw a fit a little bit, I like to do something I call “chill.” Basically, when the judge isn’t looking at you and has his back turned to you, letting other pigs out of their holding pens, etc, you just chill, kneel down, and rub the pigs’ belly. I would wait until the judge turns around, fire them back up and start driving, so I am only driving at optimal times in the show ring to keep their stamina built up.

Kiersten- True, the showring is the only chance you get to show your pig to the judge; you need to use that time very

wisely. I would also add that when you are in a holding pen, make good use of the spray bottles provided to you. Use those to give your pig a drink of water or cool them off before it is time to show.

Q: DO YOU DO ANYTHING ON SHOW DAY TO PREPARE? Kiersten- A few days before show day and on show

day, we make sure our animals are well-hydrated with electrolytes which helps their performance in the ring.

We like to use Punch Electrolyte made and distributed by Wintex Farms. This electrolyte has great flavor which the pigs love. By utilizing Punch, we maximized hydration leading up to and on show day, which helps the pig last longer in the show ring.

Q:

Tristanne- If we have one that acts up a little bit, we use a product called Focus. It’s a feed additive to basically help them focus in the showring. If we have one that gets a little winded, we use a product called Exhale. This is just like a vapor rub humans would use when they’re sick, but we give it to them orally to aid in opening up their lungs and help them last longer in the showring.

HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR PIG CALM AND COMFORTABLE IN THE SHOW RING?

Kiersten- Keeping your pig calm and comfortable is

very essential. From the time the pig is young, you need to make sure your pig knows you and trusts you. It might sound silly, but your pig really will trust you and respond differently when they know it’s you walking them. Spend time with them daily, brushing and rubbing on them. They will grow to know you, and that will ultimately help keep the pig comfortable and calm in the show ring.

Tristanne- Good point Kiersten; I am a firm

believer in body language and how your livestock will react to it. If you are calm, comfortable, cool and collected, so is your animal. If you get frustrated, so will your pig. Stay calm and make sure your energy doesn’t negatively affect your pig.

With the quality of pigs and showmanship so high, work to make sure your pigs can go the distance!

PRODUCER SPOTLIGHT

Earned.

Not Given.

Matt and Taylor Murdoch Marion, TX

178

Several banners… amongst several different breeds… at Texas majors… and we’re talking about pigs, raised by a steer kid. It’s definitely not the most traditional path, but it shows how hard work, perseverance, and a willingness to ask questions and learn has put Matt Murdoch on the path of success. It also doesn’t hurt that he was blessed to marry a hog girl with a wonderful and supportive family.

Matt is a first-generation agriculturalist that was first introduced to the livestock industry by his grandfather when he was 6 years old. He grew up showing steers and started judging livestock with “the greatest judging coach of all time, Chuck Real.” It wasn’t until he met Taylor that he got involved with the pigs. Matt and Taylor both grew up in Marion, Texas, but didn’t meet each other until January of 2017. Matt had just finished college at Angelo State University and Taylor was still attending Texas State University. When they started dating, Taylor expressed to Matt her interest in raising show pigs, but Matt always envisioned himself raising show steers. However, once Taylor took Matt home and he started evaluating the gilts in her barn, there was a spark inside and he knew this was something he could get behind.

MT Heart Livestock is a successful, growing showpig operation ran by Matt and Taylor, their son Parker along with Taylor’s parents, Jim and Debra Stephens. Prior to Matt coming along, the farm in Marion originally started as Stephen’s Shires when Taylor and her parents kept back a show gilt to farrow out. However, when Matt came along with his eagerness, driven personality, and new-found passion, they started adding more breeds and increasing their numbers…then MT Heart Livestock was born! Fast forward four years and MT Heart went from three sows (two Chester, one Landrace) to now farrowing out 20 sows this season.

This is certainly a family effort with everyone playing their part. The sow farm is at Jim and Debra’s house, while the nursery, chip barn, and pig sales are all handled by Matt and Taylor at their place. In discussing if they encounter any obstacles with their setup, he says, “The biggest challenge about our operation is with having this many sows and both households holding full-time jobs, it becomes very difficult to manage everything at the farm. We get off work and go straight to the barn and are there until late at night every day.

Plus, I work on Saturdays, so it doesn’t leave much time on weekends either.”

179

Matt’s wife Taylor is the backbone of MT Heart. She got Matt started in the pig business, and from the very start of their venture she deserves the credit.

Matt says appreciatively, “There is no way that we would be where we are today without her keeping things together. So many people see me at the sales, and it’s my number on the banners and ads, but that’s only because I just talk the most.” Taylor is what keeps things going and does a little bit of everything. Taylor can do pretty much everything that Matt can do, and most of the time she does.

With Matt working at D&D Trailers and Taylor at home with Parker, she’s the one doctoring babies, farrowing sows, cleaning pens, loading the trailer, and coaching kids on showmanship, among so many other things that nobody sees but the family. Matt adds, “On top of the grunt work, she keeps me grounded and always has the solution to every problem that I may get stumped on.

Nobody knows me like she does, and we work so well together.”

Aside from Taylor, Debra and Jim, Matt has been a sponge, soaking up knowledge from those he respects in the pig barn. Matt and Taylor credit Kelton Mason for being a huge influencer and helping them get where they are at today. Because Matt started raising pigs with no experience and few connections, he didn’t know where to start or who to call. The Stephens family had a relationship with Kelton, so Matt made the call. He says, “From the very beginning Kelton answered the phone, held nothing back and answered our questions, no matter how dumb they might have been. Not once did I call and feel like I couldn’t ask him something for a fear of being judged.”

Kelton later reached out to Matt that first year and said he wanted to come to the barn and look at his litters. He was looking for a Landrace for his son Kaden to take to Denver. Kelton loaded up two littermate barrows, one of which went on to be the Champion Landrace at the National Western that year. Matt adds, “That was our first banner and having that pig in his barn, with his son on the stick, made it such a cool experience for us.” That success resulted in phone calls left and right, and it’s been full steam ahead ever since.

180

While the Landraces saw the first achievement on a big stage and caught the attention of many, leaving spectators to think they had a whole sow lot full of them, MT Heart has always maintained just one or two of that breed, while adding Durocs, Berks, Spots, and Crossbreds. In only four years, MT Heart have been able to hang a banner at a Texas major each year with the purebreds, while still being competitive with crossbreds. A lot of focus has been on the crossbred herd lately, working to build around the right genetics and females. That’s the approach Matt and Taylor have taken with everything because they are in it for the long term and have realized the importance of the sow herd. MT Heart Livestock’s ultimate goal is sustainability for their show pig operation, to one day make a living raising show pigs. Whether it’s in their lifetime, their kids, or their grandkids, Matt and Taylor just plan on doing everything they can now to stay progressive and continue to be better in every aspect of the show pig business. Their hopes in the next 5-15 years is to grow the sow herd to 50 sows and expand their market in and outside the state of Texas.

Marketing has been a strong point for MT Heart and is something Matt enjoys taking on. Besides selling off the farm, Murdoch has been given the opportunity to both host consignment sales and be invited to several. He first started hosting Breeder’s Choice with a partner, then helped with the production of NextGen with other young up and coming breeders, and now has started the muchhyped, The Syndicate. Murdoch says, “being invited to sales makes me proud and thankful…proud that I am on the right track and that the work my family and I are doing is being noticed and recognized by guys that I have looked up to…thankful for the guys that look at what we have built and decide to take a chance and give us a shot.”

181

What is the best advice you’ve ever been given?

“Make sure that you love what you are doing. Raising hogs is not for the weak-minded; it takes so much work, both physically and mentally. You will lose so many more times than you will win, but your love for this industry is sometimes the only thing that keeps you going.”

Matt says to all young breeders wanting to raise pigs, “don’t be afraid to ask questions.” The very first time he walked into the pig barn, he knew no one. He saw big-time highly-competitive breeders that haul 50 head to a show, and first thought that they wouldn’t care to help him. Yet, when he finally took the time to get to know these individuals, it was a constant flow of wisdom and assistance. “So ask questions, go to the guys that are having success and watch, listen, and learn.”

The most rewarding thing in this industry is helping kids reach their goals. Taylor and I love catching kids at the gate of an arena with a smile on their face knowing they have just become proud of themselves because their hard work paid off. That feeling is so genuine because what those families don’t know is we have that same feeling inside, the feeling of accomplishment, and pride is very humbling.

182

What is the most important selection criteria to you?

2021 HIGHLIGHTS

“Probably to no surprise, our main selection criteria would be structure. This day and age no matter how much stoutness, muscle, look or design you have, if the judge steps in behind you in that sift ring and the pig doesn’t move right, you are done.

So I would say feet and legs are what we check for first and then try to get all other things right.”

THE TRAILER GUY!

Matt spends has spent his days being a D&D salesman for almost four years now. He says that this opportunity has been one of the biggest blessings for him and his family. D&D has benefited not only his life but also his operation in so many ways. He has built tons of connections and relationships with people and breeders that he now talks to weekly to ask for advice on both show pigs and life. “So many customers from across the country have reached out to design custom trailer for them and we are now great friends. In the livestock world you can never have too many friends in my opinion and these relationships that started as just a customer have turned into business relationships with pigs as well as mentorships for me and my family. For that I am forever thankful and grateful”.

Matt Murdoch and MT Heart Livestock have been strong supporters of TPPA, the Certified Texas Bred Registry and sponsors of Texas’ Elite Showcase. Matt volunteers prior to the show, helping set up the barns in Kerrville, and then is the last to leave the barn at night covered in paint from branding the gilts at check-in.

TPPA appreciates the backing of Matt and Taylor, along with Jim and Debra, and looks forward to not only their future successes, but also watching the path of this younger generation of Texas breeders.
