Greetings, from myself and the Advisory Board of the Cattlemen’s Ball! We thank you for your continued support of this great event to support finding a cure for cancer and promoting eating beef in a healthy diet. This is the first time we have had a Ball in southwestern Nebraska, and what a beautiful place it is! We thank hosts Derek and Allison Sandman and Wayne and Chris Krausnick for undertaking this huge task of the 2019 Ball. I am sure they couldn’t have pulled this together without their loyal and dedicated co-chairs; Steve and Char Wallin, Ryan and Stephanie Stromberger, Nick and Kati Ladenburger, Joey and Myra Large, Shawn, Julie and Grant Jones, and Mick and Marlene Cox. Thank you also to the huge support of the volunteers who have aided the event with the donation of their time and efforts to “Round Up a Cure for Cancer.” Every one of you is priceless! You, as attendees, are asked to please take time to enjoy Southwest Nebraska’s beauty and throughout the day, partake in the auctions, activities, and especially the meal of beef served in an effort to “Round Up A Cure For Cancer.” As most know, Dr. Cowan is retiring from his position as Director of the Fred and Pamela Buffet Center the last part of June. We, as a Board and everyone here, wish him a very happy and stress free retirement! Thank you for your years of involvement with the Ball. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again in 2020 when Scott and Pat Mueller host the Ball at a location north of Columbus, Nebraska, June 5-6th.

Welcome to the Krausnick Ranch on the beautiful Frenchman River! We are delighted to host each of you for the 2019 Cattlemen’s Ball helping us Round Up a Cure for Cancer! We are grateful to our entire Co-Chair team for their countless hours and dedication to this wonderful event. We couldn’t have done it without each of them. We hope that you, our guests, will have a memorable weekend enjoying our southwest Nebraska flair! Now lets all join together and raise money for cancer research!
- Wayne & Chris
2019 Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska Hosts
A little about the Krausnicks.. Wayne and Chris Krausnick were born and raised in Chase County, Nebraska. Wayne attended and graduated from Wauneta High School and Chris attended and graduated from Chase County High School. They have two boys, Jesse (14) and Wyatt (9), along with niece, Brooke, who just turned 18 in March. The Krausnicks are very active in several aspects of agriculture. They have been ranching for 21 year. They farm and have a custom haying business in the summer. 12 years ago the Krausnicks became involved in custom feeding cattle in a small feedlot northwest of Imperial, then, three years ago, had the opportunity to purchase our own feed yard only two miles west of Imperial. When not working, Wayne and Chris are busy chasing after their three kids who are involved in everything from school sports to all different activities in 4-H and FFA. Wayne enjoys being active in the Imperial Young Farmers & Ranchers organization while Chris stays busy being on the Chase County Fair Board; she has served on the board for the past 16 years. In between all of this, the family likes to help out volunteering at the local movie theater a couple times a year. When there is extra time the family really likes to go camping at Enders Lake in the summer and go the beautiful Rocky Mountains for snow skiing in the winter. The Krausnick family feels very fortunate to be able to all be so involved in our ag-based life and they love every minute of it!

Mick and Marlene Cox have farmed and ranched in Hayes County all their lives, both being born and raised there. They have purebred Angus, both commercial and registered, and have been involved, with their family, for many years with Mill Bar Angus Production sales. Their family consists of six children and 17 grandchildren, all of whom live in and around the area and are working in agriculture related occupations. Their family has enjoyed being involved and participating in 4-H and high school athletics. They are happy to support the efforts to help fund the research for cancer treatment and a cure.
Shawn and Julie Jones along with their son, Grant are lifelong residents of Southwest Nebraska. Grant is the 5th generation on the ranch that runs on the Dundy/Chase County line. We raise registered Angus and SimAngus cattle and have an annual production sale. We are very excited to co-chair the Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska along with our two daughters. Cancer touches all our lives at some point, or another, so please join us in the fight against cancer.

Nick and Kati Ladenburger farm in SW Nebraska with Nick’s Dad and brother. They raise dryland corn and wheat along with having a cow/ calf operation. Nick is a graduate of LEAD Class 26 and is an active member in various organizations in the community and church. He has always known that agriculture is what he wanted to do with life and bought his first combine while still in high school. Kati grew up on a Wyoming cattle ranch, but moved to Nebraska when she and Nick got engaged. She enjoys helping around the farm, but mainly spends her time raising their five kids - Haley (10), Scot (9), Molly (7), John (4) and Emery (3). She is also an active volunteer with 4-H and does her part in the community by serving on the local rural fire board. Nick and Kati are excited and honored to be co-chairs for the 2019 Cattlemen’s Ball and look forward to the experience!
Joey and Myra were raised in SW Nebraska and have lived in the area all of their lives. They have three grown children and five grandchildren; transitioning from parent to grandparent has been a joy. They are followers of Nebraska sports and try to go to the Grandkids activities as much as possibleg Joey has been in banking since 1977 and is looking forward to retiring and being his own boss in the next ten years, helping with the family farm and ranch operation and doing some traveling. Myra retired from her employment and is enjoying being back at home catching up on all of the projects that have not been done. Both have been involved in many community organizations throughout the years. They are serving as Treasurer and Co-Treasurer for the 2019 Cattlemen’s Ball and are helping with other committees as needed.
Ryan and Stephanie Stromberger of Champion, NE, live on the family farm with their two children, Conner (9) and Taya (7). Ryan is a third generation operator with his father, Bart, two brothers, Brock and Tanner, and sister, Jordan. Stromberger Farms grows irrigated corn, wheat and edible bean production, cow/calf production and cattle feeding operations. Ryan’s main focus is managing the feedyard. He serves on the Chase County Fair Board and past FSA board member. Stephanie was born and raised in Central City on her family’s farm. She owns the women’s gym in Imperial, serves on the Freedoms Foundation Board, helps with Christ Academy at the Lutheran church, is involved in livestock showing with their kids and volunteers anywhere she can. They are honored to serve as Co-Chair for the 2019 Cattleman ball as Cancer has touched both our lives.
Steve and Charlotte Wallin, of Imperial, have been active in agriculture for 20 years. Steve is a third generation farmer with a focus primarily on corn and wheat. The Wallins have three kids, Matalie, age 14, Mason, age 12, and Kadence, age 9. Steve serves on the Imperial Rural Fire District Board and Chase County Schools Board and was a Member of Nebraska LEAD Group 25. Char is on the board for the local Teammates chapter and active in Awanas. Char is an avid volunteer whatever she can. For now, their “hobbies” are attending sporting events year round, 4-H, Awanas, backyard chickens, playing catch and maybe a lake day, or two, in the summer. The family, as a whole, loves the “cycle” of ag: watching something grow and come to fruition, whether it be a crop or livestock. 13
Each year as I begin this message, I reflect on memories of attending the Cattlemen’s Ball. This year is no different, but since it is my last as the director of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, I am even more nostalgic. The Cattlemen’s Ball is truly special to me, because it introduced my family and me to Nebraska. We attended the 1999 Cattlemen’s Ball in Lexington at the home of Dr. Joe and Diane Jeffrey after I interviewed to be the director of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center (formerly the Eppley Cancer Center). My wife, two daughters and I were impressed with the sense of community, welcoming kindness and warm hospitality shown to us. We were convinced that a state with this kind of people was an excellent place to raise our daughters, who were 9 and 12 years old at the time. I am proud to say that this is the twenty-first Cattlemen’s Ball I have attended. I have been fortunate to attend the Cattlemen’s Ball in a variety of settings that have showcased this beautiful state: from the rolling fields of southeast Nebraska, to the gorgeous Sandhills region; from the Niobrara River to the rugged hills of Banner County in western Nebraska. While the scenery each year has changed, one thing hasn’t: the incredibly generous people of this state who are passionately dedicated to cancer research. I feel fortunate for the friendships and relationships I have formed over the years with numerous people who have shown me what hard work and generosity are all about. I want to express my gratitude to the people of Wauneta and the surrounding communities who worked together for so many months to make the 2019 Cattlemen’s Ball an unforgettable event. Thank you to this year’s co-hosts, Derek and Allison Sandman and Wayne and Chris Krausnick and their families, for your hospitality, commitment and passion for the Cattlemen’s Ball. I would also like to express my gratitude to the event chairs for your hard work: Steve and Char Wallin, Ryan and Stephanie Stromberger all of Imperial; Shawn, Julie and Grant Jones of Benkelman; Nick and Kati Ladenburger of Stratton; Mick and Marlene Cox of Hayes Center; and Joey and Myra Large of Wauneta. My gratitude to all the past and present members of the Cattlemen’s Ball Advisory Board for your leadership and support of this truly unique event, and all that you do for cancer research in Nebraska. I would also like to thank all of the committee chairs, committee members, and the thousands of volunteers for your time and efforts over the years. Finally, on behalf of the faculty, staff and patients of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, we thank each of you for supporting the Cattlemen’s Ball. Everyone who generously gives to the Cattlemen’s Ball is a partner with the Buffett Cancer Center in fighting cancer. Every dollar the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center receives from the Cattlemen’s Ball is used to support cancer research in the form of pilot projects, purchasing laboratory equipment, clinical trials or recruiting new faculty. Your generous support is making breakthroughs in the fight against cancer a reality and, with your help we will “Round Up a Cure!” Thank you again for the many memories over the years! Although I will be stepping down as the Cancer Center director, I look forward to attending many more Cattlemen’s Ball events and seeing friends each year. Best regards,

Director, Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center
Welcome to the 22nd Annual Nebraska Cattlemen’s Ball! The Cattlemen’s Ball is a time-honored tradition that brings those from across Nebraska together to celebrate agriculture, the backbone of our state’s economy. As you all know, beef production is the largest single industry in Nebraska and is vital to growing our state. We are first in the nation in beef exports, second in the nation for all cattle and calves, and we are home to the top cattle county in America. Nebraska has a deep, rich history that is rooted in agriculture. The farmers and ranchers that first settled Nebraska were our state’s original conservationists. Their grit and determination transformed what was once considered to be the Great American Desert into some of the most valuable agricultural land in the world. Nebraska is the best place in the world because of our people. Nebraskans share the values of hard work, problem-solving, and selflessness. These are values that our agricultural pioneers passed down through the generations. We’ve seen these values demonstrated in how Nebraskans have stepped up to help their neighbors in need after the flooding that devastated much of the Good Life. As we worked with Nebraskans in crisis, I was often overcome with deep pride at how many people were selflessly giving their time, treasure, and talent to help their fellow Nebraskans. After seeing the true spirit of Nebraska in our people, I know we will recover and rebuild better than ever because we are truly #NebraskaStrong. I have had the pleasure of attending the Cattlemen’s Ball for many years, and each event has been uniquely special because of the immense commitment of the host family. A special thank you to the Sandman family this year for everything they’ve done to create such a special weekend on their land near Enders Dam for this important cause. The Cattlemen’s Ball is unique in that it is volunteer led and 90 percent of the event’s proceeds will benefit the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center in Omaha, which is helping Nebraska become a leader in cancer treatment research. The remaining 10 percent is donated to local health and wellness programs. Again, thank you for your generosity to this charitable effort, and thank you for your contribution to the beef industry that grows Nebraska. Each and every one of you are part of finding a cure for cancer. Working together, we can and will find a cure for this horrible disease. Here’s to another successful Nebraska Cattlemen’s Ball! Sincerely,
Pete Ricketts
Governor

Meteorologist Tim Reith is originally from northern Kansas and in fact grew up watching KHGI/NTV as a child. Tim states that his love and fascination with weather arrived at a young age while growing up on the family farm. With an open field to the west of his farmhouse Tim was able to watch storms roll in and this was the only spark needed to propel him into the field of meteorology.

Lexi Larsen - native Nebraskan, soulful country crooner, entertaining performer and— the next big thing! There are a lot of ways to describe up and coming country music sensation Lexi Larsen, who is collecting accolades and fans on her way up the charts, but there’s certainly no replacement for seeing her perform and hearing her breathtaking music firsthand. This small town girl turned Nashville songstress, is currently making music and writing songs with the boomtown’s top songwriters. Her first single, “You Can Leave,” rose steadily up the charts, reaching 37 on the Music Row Chart and 53 on Billboard Indicator—- an impressive feat for any indie artist. Lexi Larsen is proving she’s the real deal—the singer has sold out shows in Nashville and was chosen as the first Brand Ambassador for Durango Boots. Lexi has been performing at fairs and festivals and has opened for Jon Pardi, Dwight Yoakam, Phil Vassar, Restless Heart, Emerson Drive, Love & Theft, Ricochet, Ronnie Milsap and the Dirty River Boys. She also was invited to sing the Star Spangled Banner for the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, performed at the famed Venetian, and traveled overseas captivating crowds in Xian, China! Lexi was named as One to Watch by CMA Magazine and was just awarded Female Vocalist of the Year at the IHeart Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards. Since the release of her first single, radio stations all over the country are tuning in to hear what’s next.
Every great party deserves a great “After Party!” The 2019 Cattlemen’s Ball has that covered with the booking of the locally popular and talented country rock Brett Alan Band. Brett Alan Band will close the “Ball” in the Saloon Tent, following Clay Walker, Saturday night, June 8, 2019, at the Wayne and Chris Krausnick Ranch, near Enders Reservoir, west of Wauneta, NE. McCook local and Nashville Recording Artist Brett Alan (Schmitz) is an up-andcoming singer, songwriter, and recording artist. With the recent release of his third and latest album, self-titled, “Brett Alan,” Brett’s music speaks to his roots of growing up in the Nebraska Sand Hills. The first single released from the album, “You’re My Favorite Song,” has found radio airplay with both mainstream and independent radio stations. “Brett Alan is an amazing Nebraska artist with national potential,” said Jesse Stevens, director of Coyote Country radio station. “We are proud to be playing his release ‘You’re My Favorite Song’ on Coyote Country and our sister stations across Nebraska.” The band’s music is a music lover’s blend of country and ‘80s classics--influenced by artists such as Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Gary Allan, Gretchen Wilson, The Band Perry, Justin Moore, Fleetwood Mac, John Cougar, The Rolling Stones, The Steve Miller Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC/DC and many more. They have been known to croon their blues now and then with some Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Jimmie Hendrix.

Sometimes you run for swag. Sometimes you run for the pure joy of feeling the ground beneath your feet and the wind in your face. Sometimes you run for even better reasons. On June 8th, join us on a run that will help accomplish something better, the battle against cancer. The Rawhide Run is sponsored by Medica, a regional health plan based in Minneapolis, and will be taking place at the Enders Golf Course. The registration fee is only $25 and is open to anyone that wants to come out and support a great cause! All proceeds go to fund the fight against cancer! On top of that, we invite you to share the reason you are running. Perhaps you are running in memory of someone that lost the battle with cancer, or maybe it’s for someone who is still fighting. Maybe you are celebrating the fact that you beat cancer. Whatever your WHY is, we want to use it to motivate others during the race. We will be placing signs along the race route with your WHY to help encourage the runners and give everyone a reason to finish! After the race is over, we will be placing these signs along the walking path leading to the Cattlemen’s Ball event site. Come run with us. Hear the gravel crunch beneath your feet and feel the wind in your face as you run for the joy of helping others in the fight against cancer.

This year, the History Tent highlights the Western Cattle Trail of the late 1800s; Massacre Canyon Battle; Grand Duke Alexis Royal Buffalo Hunt; and Custer in southwest Nebraska/northwest Kansas. Displays will also showcase the local frontier history of Chase, Dundy, Hayes and Hitchcock counties.
presenters: GARY & MARGARET KRAISINGER
Authors of “The Western Cattle Trail 1874-1897: It’s Rise, Collapse, and Revival” along with several other books and articles on cattle drives and cattle trails reaching from Texas to Nebraska and Kansas and points beyond. Gary and Margaret will share tales from the trail with a keen knowledge of the cattle drive trails that traversed this four-county region.
JEFF BARNES
Historian, author and fifth-generation Nebraskan, Jeff Barnes is a board trustee of the Nebraska State Historical Society, past chairman of the Nebraska Hall of Fame Commission, and former marketing director for the Durham Museum. Jeff is the author of “The Great Plains Guide to Custer,” “Forts of the Northern Plains,” “The Great Plains Guide to Buffalo Bill,” and 150@150: Nebraska’s Landmark Buildings at the State’s Sesquicentennial.
DON KELLER
Local historian and Hitchcock County resident, Don has worked tirelessly to keep the story of the Massacre Canyon Battle and the region’s Native American heritage alive. He operates the Massacre Canyon Visitor Center near the Massacre Canyon Monument east of Trenton. Don will tell the story of this last battle between Great Plains tribes in 1873 as well as giving insights into the Pawnee and Sioux cultures.
WAYNE MINTLING
Southwest Nebraska native and resident, Wayne Mintling will re-create his colorful portrayal of Gen. Phil Sheridan who played host to the Grand Duke Alexis/Buffalo Bill buffalo hunt held in 1872 near present day Hayes Center.
KIRK SHAPLAND
‘Buffalo Bill’ Cody will come to life when award-winning reenactor Kirk Shapland of Kansas takes to the stage. Based on Cody’s own 1879 autobiography, Kirk’s presentations are as close to Bill’s opinion of himself as we will ever get. With 12 years experience as a reenactor at the Fort Hays State Historic site and with 3 years experience at Fort Larned National Park Site, Kirk will be recognized by southwest Nebraskans as Buffalo Bill from the Grand Duke Alexis Rendezvous that has been held near Hayes Center.

THE WESTERN CATTLE TRAIL After the Civil War, as demand grew for beef in the northern states, herds of Texas cattle were driven north to marketing points in eastern Nebraska. Settlement by homesteaders, however, forced the trail further west each year. Beginning in 1875, the Union Pacific Railroad selected Ogallala as its main shipping point. During the following decade, thousands of longhorn cattle were trailed through southwest Nebraska to the shipping site in Ogallala and points beyond along a group of routes known as the Texas Cattle Trail. Beginning in Texas the trail turned northward through the Indian Territory into western Kansas. From Dodge City on the Arkansas River, the trail continued climbing a ladder of rivers to Buffalo Station, Kansas, entering Nebraska in Hitchcock County, angling northwest through Hayes, Chase and Perkins Counties. The hardest day’s drive for the trail-weary men and cattle along that route was the 30 miles from the head of Stinking Water Creek in southern Perkins County to Ogallala; it was the longest and driest drive of the trip. In 1876 over 60,000 Texas cattle were driven over the trail, and between 1879 and 1884 over 100,000 cattle made the trip each year. Prior to 1880, the main Texas-Ogallala Trail entered Nebraska near present day Culbertson in Hitchcock County, but, with the influx of homesteaders, the trail was pushed ever further west, with herds later entering Nebraska in far western Dundy County. By 1881 a canyon near Haigler became known as Texas Trail Canyon and a checkpoint was established there in 1883-84, where the cattle were checked for brands and disease. It is said that 150,000 cattle were moved through western Dundy County in 1886, one of the last years of the trail drives. In Nebraska, there were seven routes of the Texas Trail. Cattle drives could only advance about 20 miles per day before needing to stop for rest and water. Ranches near springs and rivers offered valuable refuge to drovers making the journey. From Texas Trail Canyon cattle were trailed north on the Wallace Branch of the Texas Trail into Chase County passing near Champion and north of Imperial to the T.B. Webster 76 Ranch Spring and Corral. The location of the Thomas Webster ranch along Spring Creek 5 ½ miles north of Imperial, with its limestone corral, gave the drovers and their herds the last dependable opportunity to find water before their two-day, 40-mile trip to Ogallala on that route. Being an enterprising rancher, Webster traded healthy animals for sore-footed animals, which he then nursed back to health and traded to the next trail boss. The stone corral was part of the Webster enterprise and is one of the last of its kind in existence. Webster used it for dehorning and branding the new cattle with his “Quarter Circle W” brand, the oldest registered brand in Chase County.

The Cattlemen’s Ball dedicates itself to the promise of providing funds for the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to help eradicate cancer. Promise Petals encourage us to remember those we have lost to this horrible disease, those who are currently fighting and those who have survived. For a donaton of $100, contributors purchase a sponsor plant as a memorial or as a celebration of survival. The plants are professionally nurtured and cared for to their full size and then placed in our Serenity Tent & Garden for everyone attending the Cattlemen’s Ball to enjoy. Those who have sponsored a Promise Petals plant (with your pre-event donation of $100), you are free to take your plant home to enjoy after 4:00 PM on Saturday, June 8th.

The “Calf-For-A-Cure” program invites and encourages any and all Nebraskans, regardless of their involvement in the beef industry, to take part in fundraising efforts exclusively supporting cancer research. A donation of $1,000 will buy a feeder calf, this will be combined with other donors to purchase a pen(s) of feeder cattle. A donation of $600 will pay to feed that feeder calf. (The “Calf-For-A Cure” program goal is to purchase 300 head.) The cattle will be placed on feed in a local Southwest Nebraska feedlot. This will allow for the full value of the finished animals by April 2019 to be contributed to the 2019 Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska. Because the group values the investments being made in this program, the cattle will be price-protected and insured. All donors will be recognized in the official Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska program and will receive a special lanyard to wear during the 2019 Ball event. Ninety percent of the funds raised are given to the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center in Omaha, Nebraska for cancer research, and the remaining 10% stays in our local communities health organizations.
