INSIGHT is the complete package. His female progeny are attractive, moderate and very maternal. How could it be any other way as his dam WCCC MS ALLIANCE 428 F998623 is a proven maternal matron not only for us but also for the Wright Charolais program. His bull progeny are clean, powerful but efficient and structurally sound. Over the last three years the INSIGHT yearling bulls have been the first selected out of our sale pen. As Cannon & Deutsch Charolais have recently demonstrated, INSIGHTS progeny can also compete when taken to town.

INSIGHT’S calving ease is proven not only in our Charolais herd but also in our commercial herd. We mated INSIGHT to 49 very straight-blooded Angus heifers that are now finishing calving. To date we have 38 live calves on the ground out of 38 total calved only assisting two.

Insight x Ms Alliance 429

Last but most certainly not least……Carcass merit. INSIGHT’S progeny working in our highend commercial customers herds are getting the job done. We have many customers running over 90% Choice with mostly yield grade 1’s and 2’s. INSIGHTS sire, RC CHARLIE (CHARLIE 4) was the highest scanning bull in the 2004 Raile sale.

As a 6-year-old that has not bred a cow since July, Insight just froze 299 straws on his first jump. Fertility!

My sincere thanks to Lee as well as the entire Eaton family for taking the time to recently show me their incredible operation. My trip to Montana was rewarded by having the opportunity to do business with folks that truly understand and live on a daily basis the “business end” of the cattle business.

Our philosophies and objectives so closely parallel that I was able to strike a deal with Eaton Charolais to purchase 80 head of their yearling replacement heifers. We look forward to what the future will produce as we mate all of these heifers to WCCC INSIGHT 8071. Thank you again Lee, Connie and the entire Eaton family for your hospitality and your trust in our program.

VIEWPOINT

CHAROLAIS Timing is Everything.

Make hay while the sun shines

We’re finally seeing what the analysts have been forecasting relative to cattle sales this spring. From coast to coast, producers are appreciating increased prices for seedstock and feeder cattle. It’s unprecedented. It’s easy to forget the past few years from the bottom of the cattle cycle to now. It’s also easy to forget this won’t last forever.

Make no mistake, today’s beef industry economic environment is not business as usual. In fact, the markets are confounding. A significant industry fact is the 29 million head national cow herd is the smallest since 1951.

According to the CattleFax Long Term Outlook, December 2013, cow numbers will continue to shrink, not because of continued drought or economic stress, but due to the fact the market is too good to keep them. The CattleFax report goes on to say, “drought relief … should lead to record-high profitability for the cow-calf segment.”

The lead story in a recent USA Today reported on the impact of rising food

increase in the beef cow herd is not expected until 2016 or 2017 as producers can finally act in response to all the discussion about herd expansion thanks in large part to a break from Mother Nature. Even with expansion likely underway, it will take until 2017 or 2018 before a trend of larger fed supplies can even begin.”

For seedstock producers, that’s huge! But, it also means the feeders and packers will continue to be in a tough spot keeping operations in the black without pricing beef out of the consumer’s budget.

The beef industry is as strong as it’s been in decades. The difference with this cycle is the reality that while we primarily produce protein for domestic market, the U.S. is positioned to meet an increasing global demand. We have the most efficient production system in the world. We have the infrastructure to increase production and match the increased need for feed and forage.

New science and technological tools are giving registered seedstock producers

“From Mother Nature to governmental interference, beef producers will continue to face difficult management decisions.” prices on household budgets. Almost every media outlet has reported on the rising price of beef. USA Today reports the average retail cost of fresh beef was $5.28 a pound, up $.24 in a single month, 22% increase in the past year, and the highest on record since 1987. The article goes on to report, fairly accurately, the reasons for the increasing prices of beef.

Since beef is one of the highest priced items in the meat case, it’s easy for the consumer to focus on beef as the single culprit to deplete the monthly food budget. In fact, pork retail prices rose 6.8% in 2013 and are expected to reach $4 per pound by summer. The average wholesale price of a gallon of milk has risen 36% since December and expected to rise as much as $.50 this year.

At some point we will experience the ripple effect as the consumer inevitably pushes back and seriously looks for alternatives to stretch food dollars. Meanwhile, cow-calf producers, stockers and backgrounders, cattle feeders and packers continue to sort the realities of a very short supply of cattle in the pipeline.

The CattleFax report predicts herd expansion will be slow. “A significant

more confidence to make genetic selection decisions that benefit commercial cow-calf producers. Commercial cow-calf producers expanding their herds now have genomic information to use when buying replacements.

Commercial producers will have the genomic information to more accurately target an end point that fits their business model, more effectively manage risk and gain access to higher premiums through value-based marketing The beef industry will always experience challenges. From Mother Nature to governmental interference, beef producers will continue to face difficult management decisions. Charolais seedstock producers and commercial producers using Char-influenced genetics have an extraordinary opportunity to expand and make improvements knowing the demand for Charolais is strong and sustainable.

The old adage, “make hay while the sun shines”, always comes to mind.

Those not-so-progressive producers will continue business as usual until the status quo is no longer an option. Progressive beef producers will take full advantage of the very bullish market, use the available tools to manage risk and make money. We’re all ready for the sun to shine for many days!

VIEWPOINT

REGISTRATION Marilou Wegner,

AICA Recording Secretary

On-line user updates Tips and Tricks

Enrollments fees are $17 after April 1st. Get your enrollments in before May 1st to avoid increased fees. Females under 18 months do not need to be enrolled this year. They will be on your list for next year. Donor cows do not need to be enrolled unless they are having a natural born calf in 2014. For WHR members, the fee to register an embryo calf is $14 Keep AICA updated with your most current e-mail address. We communicate with our members via e-mail whenever possible. Check the Charolais Journal for staff e-mail addresses (page 19.)

On-line users update: • Log in and dispose of animals that are no longer active by going to the “view” screen. The disposal button and list of codes is at the bottom of the “view” screen.

• On-line users may choose to have their certificates held in the system, and not printed until necessary.

Click the “hold” paper button at the bottom of the “registration” screen.

• Certificates held in the system can be transferred on line and sent directly to your buyer. Clear the clutter in your office by having certificates held in the computer. See “my held papers” under the “my herd” tab.

• Registering steers and percentage animals on line requires use of breed codes. Click the drop down box on the “calving” screen to see a list of codes.

• Wondering how to change your password? Log in and click into the “tools” button. Choose “update password”.

• Have you recently had ultrasound data processed on your cattle? Log-in and click into the “my ultrasound” button under the “my performance” area. You will see a list of your animals with ultrasound data, by birth year. Click on the column headers to sort the data in the way most meaningful to you.

• Watch for updates to the on-line system in April and May.

SEMEN TEST

BEFORE BULL TURNOUT

By Heather Smith Thomas

It’s always a good idea to have a breeding soundness evaluation and semen check for any bull you plan to use—not only for bulls you purchase, but also the bulls you kept over from last year. Even though they might have been fine last year, injuries or infections can change that picture.

Make sure each bull is good to go—before your breeding season.

Most producers make sure that every bull passes a breeding soundness examination before putting him out with cows. As stated by Dr. Dee Whittier (Professor, Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Virginia Tech), it is always good to start with the bull breeding soundness exam that is outlined by the Society of Theriogenology.

“This is based on good research and is a place to start, when assessing a bull. It basically looks at 5 things: physical soundness (feet and legs, eyes, etc.), reproductive tract soundness, scrotal circumference that meets the minimum requirement, minimum percentage of sperm cells that are normal, and acceptable motility. This is where we start, and we recommend that every bull, every year, have a breeding soundness exam.”

During that exam, a semen sample will be collected, and checked. The semen will be evaluated for motility, velocity, total number of sperm, and any major sperm defects that will significantly affect fertility.

“The Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatchewan did a study and put together all their data on bull breeding soundness exams.

They found that basically the same percentage of bulls failed at each age, across the years. Some stockmen feel that they only need to test the young bulls or the older bulls; they think the middle-aged bulls won’t have problems. But just as high a percentage of those bulls fail every year, as well,” says Whittier.

Optimum sperm production and sperm health depends on the testicles being a few degrees cooler than body temperature.

Several things can interfere with fertility, including high temperature and cold weather. Temperatures outside the optimum for sperm production may reduce sperm quality and quantity, especially if the bull can’t keep his testicles cool enough in hot weather or warm enough in cold weather (by raising and lowering them away from the body).

Scrotal frostbite (which can often occur in northern climates with cold weather and wind, if bulls don’t have adequate windbreaks) can result in scar tissue that makes it impossible for the bull to raise and lower his testicles, rendering him infertile. This may be temporary and not a serious problem (if the damage heals before the next breeding season) or permanent if the damage is extensive. “The bull may be out for the next breeding season, or maybe out for his lifetime, depending on the damage,” says Whittier. If your area had cold weather— especially if there was wind during the cold—bulls should be checked before the next breeding season to make sure they have recovered, if there’s a chance they may have suffered scrotal frostbite.

Optimum sperm production and sperm health depends on the testicles being a few degrees cooler than body temperature.

This is why the bull must be able to lower his testicles in hot weather, and draw them up closer to the body for warmth in winter. Hot weather can be detrimental to fertility, as can a high fever if the bull is sick or suffers from an infection like foot rot.

The sperm that were forming at the time he had a fever will be abnormal, and he will have an infertile period about 60 days following the fever.

Summer heat may render a bull temporarily infertile. “I live in a part of the country where fescue is our major grass.

The toxin in fescue inhibits cattle’s ability to shunt blood to the outside of the body so they can get rid of heat,” says Whittier. It is harder for the animal to regulate its temperature, and there is more risk for heat stress.

“Cows suffering from heat stress may not become pregnant (or may lose the embryo) but bulls are also adversely affected. We constantly talk to producers about introducing clover into their fescue pastures, and having a fertilization program that doesn’t stimulate the fescue to outcompete the other plants. There is lots of management involved in dealing with this problem. One whole side of our state has largely abandoned spring calving just because of the problem of getting cows bred during the heat of summer. Many bulls show decreases in fertility earlier

Hi Charolais Juniors! For those of you who don’t know

me, I am Chelsea Woodcock your 2013-2014 AIJCA Junior Board of Director Secretary. I am currently in my senior year at California State University, Fresno getting ready to graduate with my Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science- Pre-Veterinary Science.

I am sure many of you have heard the old saying “It takes a village to raise a child.” This saying is true on many levels but why is this relevant? Well, the community in which you live has influenced your upbringing in one way or another. This influence can be anything from involvement in your local 4-H, Girl/Boy Scouts, playing in community sports or belonging to a church or youth group. Through your involvement in these programs you have met many people and, perhaps, you have been rewarded along the way for achievements met. Your community is molding or has molded you into the adult you will or have become.

Now, have you ever thought about how you may have influenced your community? For example, I used to

community service? Right here with your fellow Charolais junior members! The AIJCA has promoted collecting pop/ soda tabs for Ronald McDonald House Charity for several years. Our involvement started with past AIJCA Junior Board President Ty Eschenbaum from Lake Preston, S.D. When a child gets sick, the Ronald McDonald House Charity will help families stay together while that child is being treated. One of the many services that they help provide is housing and food to these families. They are involved in communities in 58 countries and have been at work since 1974. You can start collecting pop/soda tabs today and bring them to Charolais Junior National this summer. The junior member who brings in the most pop tabs will receive a prize!

In addition, this year at Junior National in Hutchinson, we will be having a canned food drive for the local food pantry. It will be our way of giving back to the community of Hutchinson during our week long stay there. I encourage every junior that attends Junior National this year to bring at least one canned food to donate to the food pantry. We

“Let’s continue expanding our role within the communities we have grown up in and the communities we travel to!” volunteer at the Santa Cruz County Fair each year. This included helping with updating the barns (repainting, fixing hinges and pulling out old nails) before fair to help with the Auction Buyer’s Dinner. This is just one example of a form of community service. Community service makes a difference in not only someone else’s life but can also make a difference in your life.

For many of you, college is right around the corner and, if it’s not, it is never too early to start thinking about it. In your preparation for this next step in life, a resume should start becoming a priority. This organized piece of paper tells others about whom you are and what you have done. Besides your education and work experience, community service is one of the categories that will catch the eye of others. This is because it shows that you have compassion, are well rounded and willing to give back to something that invested time in you.

I am willing to bet that most of you are already involved in a local community service project, but how about giving back to the communities that you travel to or a worldwide charity? How would you get started with that type of 32 

A P R I L 2014

will have a collection bin for you to put your donation in.

Let’s continue expanding our role within the communities we have grown up in and the communities we travel to! Maybe when you get back home, you will go back to that little league you played in and become an assistant coach or maybe you will collect canned food for your local food pantry. It not only will touch the lives of others but will make you feel good too! Just remember community service isn’t something you have to do on your own, get your family and your friends involved too!

Selling Buyer’s choice of ¾ interest and full possession in your choice in either brother!

You have not seen two thicker, deeper-bodied sons of Encore to date! Encore was the 2013 Reserve National Champion Bull at Fort Worth and a full brother to the 2012 Denver Grand Champion Bull CML Diablo 2X! The dam of these two bulls GC “Whitney Lou” has been a great one for Donnie. She was born in 2006 and has had four natural born herd sires in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and then went into embryo transplant. He is using three of these as herd sires and another sold to club-calf breeder Karl Johnson. Her Hoodoo bred dam is the featured donor dam on the ranch. Only to bring out a couple of great ones and promote the Gast Charolais program did Donnie hold these bulls for this sale! The astute Charolais breeder needs to be looking here!

Another September show prospect that will need to be checked out by everyone in attendance. Her sire is the National Champion siring Fire Water and her dam is one of the premier donors at Ridder Farms. In the 2012 Ridder Farms Showgirls Sale an X-Factor daughter out of #7515 sold for $5,000 to Dybdal Charolais and went on to Fort Worth to be the National Reserve Junior Calf Champion. During the 2013 Ridder Farms Showgirls Sale another of #7515’s daughters by Quiet Riot topped the sale at $8,500 selling to Mark Moriondo. Prior to that sale, she was the American Royal National ROE Show Reserve Spring Calf Champion.

The first of two ¾ sisters from Baney Charolais. Their sire is an E.T. product that Larry Baney developed from flushing his full sister to the National Champion Zsa Zsa to Thomas Oahe Wind-the sire of three National Champion Bulls; WDZ Polled Profit, Thomas Redneck and Fire Water! So these heifers are sired by a full brother “in blood” to the great breeding and show ring producing Fire Water!

The sire of these two Baney heifers-Baney Firewater 7048 is a full brother “in blood” to the National Champion siring Fire Water. These two Baney ¾ sisters both come from first-calf-heifer Grid Maker daughters in the Baney herd that descend from two strong cow families that Larry is quite proud of. Larry purchased the great dam of the sire of these heifers from the 2006 National Charolais Sale for $10,000 in 2006 in Denver, the same day that one-half interest in Fire Water sold for $24,000 at nine months of age.

Remember the AIJCA Junior National is very close this year over in Hutchinson, Kansas. The top side of her pedigree has already had great success at a previous Junior National!

Coming from the Peterson Farms herd this fancy July heifer is one that will grab every judge’s attention when she hits the show ring and is bound to be a force to be dealt with in the summer division. She is one to put purple on the wall and walk in the front pasture at the end of her show career. Make sure to stop by and see this outstanding July prospect.

What an opportunity here! This is your chance to choose a full sister to Big Creek CCC Mable 301Y, one of the hottest show heifers on the road in 2011; gathering banners as calf champion at the Missouri State Fair and at Louisville’s NAILE, as Grand Champion at the Ozark Empire Fair and Reserve Grand Champion Female at the American Royal. Don’t forget the success Ellie Mae’s dam #4307 has had recently as well. Crutcher Honey Boo Boo got plenty of banners this past summer for the Crutchers and full sibs to Honey Boo Boo have sold for high dollars for J & A Charolais. These full sisters will get your attention, they have that same winning pattern as their sister Mable and the added attraction of the summer division. With as much excitement as any heifers to sell recently, the opportunity to add consistent and proven genetics to your herd is too good to pass up. See if you can pick the best one! The sellers will retain one successful flush at the buyer’s convenience on the heifer chosen. Lot 15A pictured above was Reserve Champion at the AGR Classic in March.

A really nice prospect sired by CC Alejandro, a past American Royal Breeders Classic Grand Champion Bull by vote of the consignors. Alejandro has three National Champions in his two generation pedigree; Fire Water, Zsa Zsa and Redneck. This heifer is also a ¾ sister to our good Ten Grand Sale consignment that sold to Bar J in Texas for $3,600. Her first-calf-heifer dam raised her to a nice 666 pound weaning weight. She is a very gentle, correct structured heifer that would make a real nice junior project for the summer and fall shows.

The term “clubby” best describes this May heifer from her choke front to her super heavy bone and her “shag” hair. She will be fun to play with in the fitting chute and in the minds of your competitors. Don’t forget that her sire hammered on the “big dogs” during the 2010 Missouri State Fair and was the Grand Champion Bull!

You’ve also got to like the bottom side of this pedigree with Budsmydad, Baldridge Sweetheart 53D (the dam of Baldridge Fasttrack 82F) and CF Downtown 320 ,the herd sire for MBS Charolais.

All three of these heifers are open and ready to breed right away. They have been cyling like crazy and ready to breed to the bull of your choice. They will be big, stout heifers when they calve next spring.

Her sire is the very popular Summit Supreme X01 that was the National Senior Champion Bull at the 2013 Fort Worth National Show.

Bob Barnard has brought many solid, good cattle to the Missouri state sales for many years, including last year when his four fall bred heifers sold for $2,900, $2,750, $2,800 and $2,900. I’d say that is solid buyer acceptance.

These are good heifers that will make some outstanding brood cows, don’t discount them for not being bred yet!

They will breed immediately for early 2015 calves.

Both of these heifers have been pasture exposed to NWMSU Big Time 166 from December 3, 2013 to sale date.

Both were observed bred early and should both be due in mid September or October, 2014. M6 New Standard has become a “new standard” in the breed for EPD’s and performance. He is a 2014 AICA double Trait Leader for both Weaning and Yearling EPD’s. The donor dam of these two bred heifers has been an embryo cash cow for her owners over the years including Big H Ranch, Aschermann and Wild Indian Acres. The Gibsons almost never sell females off their place, but they have now built their herd up to the size they desired and can let some great ones off the farm.

These two heifers are bred to NWMSU Big Time that a one-half interest in sold for $15,500 in the 2013 National Charolais Sale in Fort Worth. He has been both the Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion Bull two years in a row at the American Royal in Kansas City. Big Time is a son of WC Big Ben 9036 and out of an Unlimited Ease 9108 daughter. Presented by Clear Creek Farm, John Gibson, St. James, Missouri 573-263-4259

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) should be given only by subcutaneous injection in front of the shoulder at the recommended dosage level of 1 mg eprinomectin per kg body weight (1 mL per 110 lb body weight).

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Withdrawal Periods and Residue Warnings Animals intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 48 days of the last treatment.

This drug product is not approved for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, including dry dairy cows. Use in these cattle may cause drug residues in milk and/or in calves born to these cows.

A withdrawal period has not been established for pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.

Animal Safety Warnings and Precautions The product is likely to cause tissue damage at the site of injection, including possible granulomas and necrosis. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. Local tissue reaction may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter.

Observe cattle for injection site reactions. If injection site reactions are suspected, consult your veterinarian. This product is not for intravenous or intramuscular use. Protect product from light. LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) has been developed specifically for use in cattle only. This product should not be used in other animal species.

When to Treat Cattle with Grubs LONGRANGE effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season.

Environmental Hazards Not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive rotational grazing because the environmental impact has not been evaluated for these scenarios.

Other Warnings: Underdosing and/or subtherapeutic concentrations of extended-release anthelmintic products may encourage the development of parasite resistance. It is recommended that parasite resistance be monitored following the use of any anthelmintic with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test program.

TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY Clinical studies have demonstrated the wide margin of safety of LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin). Overdosing at 3 to 5 times the recommended dose resulted in a statistically significant reduction in average weight gain when compared to the group tested at label dose. Treatment-related lesions observed in most cattle administered the product included swelling, hyperemia, or necrosis in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin. The administration of LONGRANGE at 3 times the recommended therapeutic dose had no adverse reproductive effects on beef cows at all stages of breeding or pregnancy or on their calves.

Not for use in bulls, as reproductive safety testing has not been conducted in males intended for breeding or actively breeding. Not for use in calves less than 3 months of age because safety testing has not been conducted in calves less than 3 months of age.

STORAGE Store at 77° F (25° C) with excursions between 59° and 86° F (15° and 30° C).

Protect from light.

CHAROLAIS

‘The DeBruycker bull sale is a bargain!’

American Cattlemen magazine, March 14 issue

When you compare the money being spent for the quality of bull you get, the bulls are inexpensive.

Roger Peters states, “Calving with DeBruycker bulls is no different than using black bulls. We calve in six groups of 1000 head each with one guy to watch over them and it’s rare for us to have a big calf.”

500 of the Highest Quality Bulls Sell!

This Fullblood son of JUMPER was on of our pets but now has to work year round in a Florida swampland. He was bred to work on forage

OUTFRONT CATTLE SERVICE Welcome to the 15th Annual Sale of Excellence. Again the bar has been set higher, more quality Charolais selling than ever before! Some of the consignors have committed over 220 head each to this sale in the past 15 years, quite an accomplishment. To keep their quality up they have had to have great breeding programs and used the cattle that would enable them to consistently raise profitable and productive cattle. We have some new consignors as we always do, but they must accept the challenge to bring only their very best to the sale.

And we insist all breeders work together to make this a great sale for the best of all involved!

I mention all of this so as you can be assured that when you select cattle from this sale you are able to buy with a maximum confidence that you are buying something that will help improve your herd. Or you can add additional quality to a great herd without sacrificing your standards for quality. We insist on quality animals that perform, grow, maintain their condition efficiently, milk, fertile, and satisfy commercial cattle breeders with the bulls they raise from these top females! And rarely should a problem arise, the consignor will take care of it promptly and satisfactory to all.

You will also enjoy the family atmosphere and the friendly reception from all. Everyone enjoys the “Fun Auction� after the cattle auction. Buyers get to bid on all kinds of merchandise from arts & crafts items, firecrackers, books, paintings, toys, etc. This is where the competition on bidding gets interesting!

Please join us for a fantastic Charolais event, great fellowship, and a rewarding endeavor! Call any of us for more information. Please make motel reservations immediately as this is one of the busiest weekends in College Station.

Sincerely, Dennis Adams

than cows do, in the same setting. When they are incapable of cooling their testicles their semen quality is quickly diminished,” says Whittier.

Age can make a difference in sperm quantity and quality, according to Dr. Ron Skinner (veterinarian and seedstock producer near Hall, Montana). A bull’s highest fertility is at 2 to 4 years of age, on average.

“After 4 years there may be some decline in fertility, but this is not very noticeable until a bull gets to be 5 or 6 years of age. At 7 years, on average, you start to see a more rapid decline,” says Skinner.

This will depend on the individual bull. “There are some bulls that will have good fertility at that age and others that will fall apart on you by then, according to trials that were done in Oklahoma by T.D. Rich,” says Skinner. “The 5 and 6 year old bulls may not have declined significantly from their peak fertility at age 4, but it will depend on their genetics.” It’s always wise to do a semen check on older bulls before the breeding season.

Some stockmen figure that if a bull has large testicles, he will be fertile, but this isn’t always true.

Be wary of a young bull that has huge testicles at a year of age, like 44 centimeters (average size would be 36 centimeters). These individuals are predisposed to subsequent testicular degeneration. That bull might be fertile at first, and then become infertile too soon as he gets older.

AICA MEMBERSHIP Lowderman, Weishaar and Robinson inducted into Livestock Marketeers Hall of Fame

The Livestock Marketeers inducted three industry professionals into their Hall of Fame during the National Western Stock Show.

The Livestock Marketeers — an informal fraternity of livestock fieldmen, auctioneers, sale managers and related livestock business leaders — met for their 49th Annual Banquet at the National Western Club on Jan. 18. The event is hosted by American Live Stock.

The 2014 honorees included Jack Lowderman of Macomb, IL, and Lynn Weishaar of Reva, SD. Terry Robinson of Bismarck, ND, was honored posthumously.

Master of ceremonies was J. Neil Orth, executive vice president of the American-International Charolais Association and a 1984 Hall of Fame inductee. He opened the banquet with recordings of both Lowderman and Weishaar from the 1977 World Livestock Auctioneer Championship competition.

The Livestock Marketeers group was initiated in 1965 by Harry Green, Ross Miller and Claud Willett. Their purpose was to form a fraternal organization of livestock professionals, and to make annual awards in order to encourage younger members of the industry to succeed in their chosen profession.

Jack Lowderman Jack’s involvement with the livestock industry has been life-long. He worked side-by-side with his father, buying and selling commercial cows and bulls in his youth. Following high school, he graduated from Reisch College of Auctioneering and became owner/operator and auctioneer of a livestock market for six years.

In 1968, he formed an auction partnership with Tommy Williams, a purebred Angus breeder; they actively continued for 17 years, conducting livestock, real estate, personal property and farm machinery auctions.

In 1976, Jack began a 30-year run as the lead auctioneer at F&T Commission Company in Palmyra, MO. He also auctioned commercial livestock at four community weekly markets, purebred cattle for breeders and associations, and numerous production tested bull sales in Missouri and Illinois. He’s competed in the World Livestock Auctioneer Championships and has been named a champion or finalist in six of the annual contests.

Jack is the founder of Lowderman Auction Company, a family owned and operated marketing business that has grown to include his three sons. Today, the company conducts over 100 auctions yearly throughout the Midwest, marketing agricultural, residential and commercial real estate; personal property, including machinery and equipment, antiques and collectibles; specialty items; vehicles; and estates.

Their 20-acre auction facility at Macomb, IL, features 20,000 square feet under one roof. One indoor sales pavilion hosts a monthly consignment auction with three rings of merchandise offered at any one time. A second building with a livestock sales arena is available for purebred cattle auctions of all breeds.

As an auctioneer for Williams & Williams, a Tulsa, OK-based company that markets residential and commercial real estate, Jack travels nationwide.

He is a graduate of the Certified Appraisal Institute, compiling both real and personal property evaluations.

Jack and his wife, Sherry, began their commitment to the Hereford breed when they were given two Polled Hereford cows as a wedding gift from her Dad. As the family grew to include four sons, the cattle numbers expanded as well.

Today, the Lowderman Cattle Company is truly a family operation with sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren: Monte, Carrie and Rhett; Brent, Kris, Blake and Morgan; Cody and Abby; and son, Cory, always in their hearts.

The herd has grown to include 200 mother cows, 30 recips, and the 2013 National Western Stock Show Champion Hereford Bull. They hold an annual sale on the third Sunday of September. The family was honored in 2013 with the Seedstock Producer of the Year award from the Illinois Beef Association, as well as Breeder of the Year honors from the Illinois Hereford Association.

Jack served as a 4-H leader for 10 years, president and board member of the Illinois Polled Hereford Association, and a member of the Illinois Beef Council and Illinois Beef Association.

Tommy Williams of Tulsa, OK, and Delvin Heldermon of Sulphur, OK, roasted Jack at the Livestock Marketeers banquet.

Lynn Weishaar “I hung around auction barns every chance I got,” Lynn Weishaar recalls.

He started pretending to sort and sell baby calves on his family’s ranch near Lemmon, SD, when he was four or five years old.

So began a passion for the lifestyle that has lasted his whole life.

While in high school, Lynn began working for Robert Schnell, who ran the sale barn in Lemmon. He credits Schnell for getting him started in livestock marketing. He attended the Western College of Auctioneering in

Billings, MT, and later graduated from North Dakota State University, where he was active in college rodeo and on the judging teams.

After college, he returned to the Lemmon area, leased a ranch, and began selling at that sale barn; it was his first real job selling livestock. Lynn soon took on the barns at Faith and Philip, sold at Sturgis until it closed down, and now sells at Philip and Belle Fourche on a weekly basis.

Lynn also sells registered horse and cattle sales across the country— from Canada to Texas and from Iowa to the West Coast—traveling to up to 300 sales a year and thousands of miles.

In the 1970’s, Lynn started a consignment horse sale for proven ranch and arena horses that has caught on nationwide. This type of sale has opened up a reliable source for marketing good horses, and for the buyer to find a dependable product. It has given him the opportunity to sell some of the greatest horses in the country, and has been a big influence on the horse industry in the central United States.

Lynn says selling livestock at auction is challenging, especially with fluctuating markets and political developments on the national level. But he still likes his job. He loves the excitement and the fast pace.

Best of all, he said, “I deal with the best people and the best stock in the world on a daily basis.”

Weishaar’s clients say, “nobody works harder at his business,” “a total pro,” and “the cattle and horse industry in western South Dakota wouldn’t be all that it is today if not for him.”

Lynn is also living the other part of his dream, running a commercial cattle ranch with his wife, Connie. Riding his horse and checking his cattle are highlights of his day and are his greatest getaway.

Lynn and Connie have two children, Seth and Jodi. Seth is also an auctioneer, and Jodi does contract work in the western industry along with raising a family. Best of all are the five grandchildren: Seth and Nicole have three, and Jodi and Rob have two.

“I’ve been very lucky,” Lynn says, “The two things I wanted to do, I got to do . . . and I’m very happy about that.”

He was roasted at the Livestock Marketeers event by friends Kirby Goettsch of Aberdeen, SD, and Jay George of Lebo, KS, as well as his brother, Wayne Weishaar.

Terry Robinson Jeff Thomas remembers Terry Robinson as “always a general, and a great mentor.”

Terry graduated from North Dakota State University with a degree in psychology, and served in the United States military and the North Dakota Army National Guard for over 33 years. He retired in 2003 at the rank of colonel. In 2009 and 2011, he was appointed the rank of brigadier general by the governor of North Dakota to act as a “State Flood Recovery Coordinator.”

His military career was one of the highlights of his life.

In the fall of 1970, Terry went to work for the ND REC Magazine as advertising manager. In 1981, he acquired part ownership of the Farm and Ranch Guide. Terry was instrumental in creating a much-loved rural paper that had a huge focus in the cattle industry, and felt very close to his accounts. Terry was an excellent judge of cattle, and a familiar face at livestock events throughout his territory. He always said he was a very lucky man to be involved with such a wonderful rural family.

He married Joyce, his high school sweetheart, in 1969 and raised two children, Cade (April) and Kree (Troy) Nelson; they have eight grandchildren.

Terry Robinson died May 13, 2013, due to an accident. He was posthumously inducted into the Livestock Marketeers Hall of Fame by friends Jeff Thomas of Bozeman, MT, and Vern Frey of Towner, ND. 80 
