Greetings from your President

Wow! Hampshire’s performed well at Louisville!

It was great to see many friends and acquaintances at Louisville. And, the best yet, it even snowed! I was amazed as most classes in the Junior Show were very deep with quality and I was sure glad I was not having to place the classes.

Congratulations to all the exhibitors.

A lot has changed in my world in the last few months. Mainly, I have become involved with a project that has been nonetheless overwhelming. My very dear friend, Tom Clayman, passed away in early January. Now, Tom knew his Montadales pedigrees and he knew a lot of other producers’ pedigrees, but it was not a shared knowledge. I am asking all of us now to share knowledge of your flocks with anyone that wants to know, or just write something down each year to give a passage of the history of your flock. I can say Tom has kept lambing records and the registration papers were easy to locate.

I have crammed numbers of sheep with registration papers and lambing notes to try to gain a knowledge of the flock so decisions can be made on the flock. Time ADVERTISING IN THE HEARTBEAT will tell what will become of the flock, but hopefully **Printed three times a year** I will gain some insight on his flock to share with the owners or prospective owners.

Winter  Spring  Fall I was grateful for the registration papers to You can choose to run an individual ad in a single help me gain most of the knowledge. If you had an issue of your choice, or choose a three-issue animal lose a tag, replace it and write it down. I cannot contract. Contract ads will be placed in three consecutive issues of the Hampshire Heartbeat. read your mind on what the number should be. This, I Contracts begin with the next available issue and run am sure, is what my wife would like to know when I through the next two consecutive issues. Either an re-tag an animal. Just make sure somehow you can individual ad or a contract can be purchased at any keep your records up to date and it will help someone time throughout the year. Prices for both types are later. listed below or advertisers who provide ads ready for Tom told me Kurt Overcash, Greg Deakin, and publication will receive a 15% discount on the listed prices. You may find more information at he were all the same age. He took both individuals’ www.hampshires.org. deaths very hard. Now, we can add Tom Clayman to the list.

DEADLINES We are all getting older. If something does Winter Issue: January 15th not seem right, go to the doctor. Do not be afraid to Spring Issue: May 1st tell them what is happening. They cannot guess if you Fall Issue: September 15th do not tell them. Do not be so stubborn! This is some advice I also must follow. Tom Clayman was a very dear Ad size or Single Issue Three Issue friend of mine. He is someone I learned and grew from.

I cannot express 2-Page Spread..................$550........................$1100 Full Page .........................$350........................$700 how much I will miss him.

It was my great honor to not only call him a colleague, but a friend. I cannot fully express the impact he had on my life..

See you later, Ted Van Horn (AHSA President)

2023 Howard Wyman Sheep Industry Leadership School Applications Due April 1 The American Lamb Board (ALB) is thrilled to sponsor the 36th Annual National Lamb Feeders Association (NLFA) Howard Wyman Leadership School. The deadline to apply is April 1. This year’s event is scheduled for July 9-13 in Columbus, Ohio. Participants will explore the Ohio sheep industry, visiting several lamb producers, feedlots and barns; live processing, ultrasound and discussions about lamb round out the agenda.

The 5-day program offers great information and is designed to highlight a cross-section of the sheep industry, especially for up-and-coming industry leaders.

The school is named for NLFA organizer Howard Wyman and emphasizes the feeding, marketing, harvesting and merchandising of lamb and lamb products.

“The Howard Wyman Leadership School is a great way for young producers to gain valuable production information and to meet other producers, feeders and industry specialists,” says ALB Chairman Peter Camino.”

Attendees must be at least 20 years of age. The $250 fee covers lodging, meals and tour expenses. Some individual transportation will be required. Application is free, with the fee due upon acceptance.

The application for this year’s school is available on the NLFA website.

ALB is an industry-funded national research, promotion and information checkoff program that works on behalf of all American commercial and seedstock producers, feeders, direct marketers and processors to build awareness and demand for American Lamb. Funding is through mandatory assessments paid by all industry segments. The board is appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture and represents all industry sectors, geographic regions and sizes of production. The work of the ALB is overseen by USDA and supported by staff in Denver, Colorado.

ALB’s annual budget averages about $2.5 million. Almost two-thirds of funds are devoted to American Lamb promotion. By law, the Board’s expenditures for administration are limited to 10% or less of projected revenues. The board was established in 2002. More information is at LambResourceCenter.com.

1ST PLACE FLOCK PREMIER FITTED EXHIBITOR

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PLAYED A ROLE IN OUR INCREDIBLE NAILE! LIKE ALF HAMPSHIRES ON FACEBOOK FOR OUR LATEST NEWS AND SALE UPDATES!

Dr. Stanley Poe was recognized with the Distinguished Producer Award.

Poe has raised Hampshire sheep nearly his entire life as 11 bred ewes arrived on the family farm in 1945. Along with his wife, Carol, the couple raised four sons on the farm.

Two of them – Stanley Poe II and Kalen – still work regularly on the place and were back home in Franklin, Ind., to finish lambing the flock’s 350 brood ewes.

“I think we’re going to be around for a while,” Poe told the crowd of sheep producers during the Industry Awards Luncheon at the convention. “Poe Hamps appreciates this greatly. We never gave it any thought about having to stand here and reflect on it. We’ve now dedicated the farm totally to Hampshire sheep, and it appears it will be that way for some time with these two grandsons coming on.”

Poe Hampshires has been a leader in the use of artificial insemination within the American sheep industry.

While a veterinarian handles the actual procedure, the family designed and built an on-farm facility that allows for artificial insemination of up to 100 head a day. Through the years, they’ve grown to providing AI and embryo transplant services for other sheep producers in a handful of states.

For many years, Poe worked off the farm with Elanco Animal Health. Once he retired, he was free to become more involved in the sheep industry. He’s a past president of the Indiana Sheep Association and has regularly represented the state on the ASI Board of Directors.

“Carol and I have transferred the farm and the sheep to our oldest son and his wife,” Poe said in Fort Worth. “The second son is with Indiana Farm Bureau and deals in the cattle business. The third son is in Lexington, Kentucky, in government relations.

Our fourth son, Kalen, is not far from the farm and works for Kemin Industries in addition to helping Stanley. He started his own flock of Hampshires and does a lot of livestock judging around the country.”

Choosing to buy American Lamb is choosing to support farmers and ranchers across the United States. That’s really important, but it’s not the only reason to put American Lamb on your grocery list this week. Here are three more: 1. American Lamb is Local Sheep are raised in nearly every state, meaning fresh, local lamb is available wherever you live.

However, more than 50% of the lamb consumed in the United States is from Australia and New Zealand. Choosing American lamb guarantees a fresh and high quality product.

2. American Lamb is Flavorful The mild, exceptional flavor of lamb is due to three factors: natural pasture, optimal genetics and an exceptional diet.

3. American Lamb is Nutritious American lamb is an adventurous protein choice offering 22.5 grams of protein in a 3-oz. serving. Plus, lean cuts of lamb such as, leg, loin, and shoulder are only 160 calories per serving.

We heard you... the Midwest Stud Ram Sale Executive Committee and Heartland Livestock have taken input from multiple consignors and buyers in constructing a new schedule for the 2023 Midwest Sale.

Featuring Pleasant Acres Farm

Introduce yourself & your family

Pleasant Acres Farm (PAF) has been operated by Joe and Beth Clarke since May 1985. Our children, Daniel (Heather), Sarah, Rebecca and Matthew, now all adults, were literally raised alongside our sheep and cattle. From the time they came home from the hospital as newborns, until they graduated high school, our sons and daughters were present during chores, birthing lambs and calves, as well as the endless list of farm work associated with raising livestock.

In addition to raising registered Hampshire sheep and registered Hereford cattle, the Clarkes grow corn, soybeans, and alfalfa hay. Also, having raised two daughters, it goes without saying that Joe and Beth still have two horses living out their retirement years.

Beth and Joe were not raised on a farm. In fact, both grew up in a suburban subdivision near Chicago. Shortly after a 1983 wedding, the couple purchased a hobby farm near Crystal Lake in northern Illinois. Joe insisted that their new property needed some chickens so home felt like a farm. Beth and Joe drove around the countryside until they found a livestock farm selling mature hens. At the conclusion of the chicken transaction, the farmer’s wife held up a small orphan lamb and said, “Want to buy this too?” Joe said, “Sure”, even though he had no idea what to do with a lamb. The deal was done. Unexpectedly, Beth and Joe were now in the sheep business. Not knowing a thing about raising sheep, Joe suggested a trip to the 1985 McHenry County Fair. Certainly, a visit to the sheep barn could provide some lessons on how to become a shepherd. It was there that Beth and Joe met George England from Cary, Illinois, along with his 4-H aged children Derrick and Max. This trio spent the afternoon explaining the many, many details of sheep production. The Clarkes not only walked away with a good beginner’s knowledge about sheep, but they were so impressed by the responsibility and maturity shown by the 4-H kids that it was declared, “This is the way we want to raise our children.” From then on, Beth and Joe became committed to the agricultural way of life.

DESCRIBE Your Hampshire Flock

Over the following few months, several commercial ewes joined the orphan lamb to create a small flock. It was then that a friend, Dr. Jane Richardson, DVM, suggested to Joe that it’s best to purchase purebred sheep if one intends to be in the business for many years. A visit was made to Mr. England’s farm. Three registered Hampshire ewes were purchased. This became the foundation of the Clarke’s Hampshire flock. Some of the sheep on PAF today can be traced back to these original three ewes. Several years passed while the flock size was growing in numbers. Through success and failure, much experience was gained. During lambing season 1992, PAF noticed a high mortality rate amongst the newborn lambs. It appeared the lamb were starving. The entire flock was tested for ovine progressive pneumonia (OPP). The results hit like a ton of bricks. The flock was heavily infected with OPP. During the spring of 1993, Beth and Joe purchased land and buildings formally used as a working dairy farm. The additional barns permitted the Clarke’s, with the assistance of the OPP Society, to orphan and raise the lambs artificially for the next two years. After the lambs became mature sheep, the flock was tested again and again for OPP. All sheep were negative. As a bonus, all sheep also tested negative for caseous lymphadenitis (CL). Since 1994, the flock has been closed on the female side. Only rams were brought in to diversify genetics. Over the years, the Clarkes have used rams from Hubbard, Houghton, Pope, Paul, Davis and Roembke.

Good health and longevity are a high priority for the flock. This year, out of 70 brood ewes, 11 animals are eight years of age or older. The oldest ewe is thirteen. Another accomplishment for PAF Hampshires was being recognized as the first flock in the State of Illinois, and the first Hampshire flock in the United States to be “certified scrapie free” by the United States Department of Agriculture.

What advice do you have for people starting out in the sheep business?

When asked for advice, Joe recommends to someone starting out in the sheep business to purchase their first ewes from a reputable purebred operation. Start out with healthy animals. This makes being a shepherd so much easier. A second bit of advice is, as an inexperienced sheep owner, expect disappointment. Most new producers assume birthing and rearing lambs is a task mother nature handles without any difficulties. Then the newbie feels devastated when lambs die that first season. Many quit the business then and there. Joe encourages the new producers to use each death to gain experience to prevent a repeat. Soon the new shepherd will recognize a weak or starving lamb, and know how to treat the creature. It’s the satisfaction that a person feels upon successfully saving a lamb that gives a new shepherd pride in his/herself, and the reason to keep going!

Who are some people that you credit for your success with Hampshires?

People who have contributed to the successes of Pleasant Acres Farm include: Basil Periman, Greg Cervin, Members of the McHenry-Lake County Lamb and Wool Producers, volunteers and exhibitors at the McHenry County Fair, Dr. Walter Dalitsch, DVM, Harold and Jim Davis. Most importantly Beth, Daniel, Sarah, Rebecca and Matthew..

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM? Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears. Yes, I’m accustom to disappointment.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD? Lamb loin chops – obviously.Tuna noddle casserole – a favorite since childhood.

WHAT IS THE TOP ITEM ON YOUR BUCKET LIST? Celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary – God willing.

WHAT IS THE FAVORITE PLACE YOU HAVE VISITED? North and South islands of New Zealand. Spent a full day touring Richard and Rose Powdrell’s sheep station in Te Puke, NZ.

2023 AHSA SCHOLARSHIP DUE SEPT 1ST APPLICATIONS CAN BE FOUND ON THE AHSA WEBSITE

2023 AHSA Futurity Rules Sponsored by the American Hampshire Sheep Association Point Scoring: • A point records form must be filled out for each show and forwarded to the American Hampshire Sheep Association office by November 1, 2023. The form must be signed by the superintendent of the show who must also verify the youth owning the lamb did physically show the animal unless physically impaired. If physically impaired, the junior member must still be present at the show even if they are unable to show their sheep in the show ring.

• At each individual show the ewe may earn futurity points from both the open division show and/or the junior division show only if the shows are held at different times and judged by different judges. Only the junior show placing from the North American International Livestock Exposition will be counted. Futurity ewes can only be shown in breeding class. The ewe lamb and yearling ewe cannot be shown in market classes.

• Futurity yearling ewes and ewe lambs may be shown at an unlimited number of shows and submit points from the shows shown in. Only the top 5-point forms submitted can be used toward the futurity final point totals.

• No designated show will be held before May 1st.

• Futurity awards will be announced during the annual meeting of the American Hampshire Sheep Association. Premiums will be mailed to the winners from the AHSA office after December 1 st.

Winners will also be posted on the AHSA website.

• There will be separate divisions for slick shorn and fitted ewe lambs. There will also be separate divisions for bred and owned slick shorn and fitted ewe lambs. An individual sheep can only participate in one division.

• The yearling ewe futurity program will continue for 2023. There will be a fitted and slick shorn division in 2023. Until we see how successful the program is, the purchased and bred and owned ewes will compete in their respective slick shorn and fitted category.

Premiums for Purchased Division and Yearling Ewe Division: A minimum of ($2,000) will be awarded in premium in both the fitted and slick shorn divisions. The guaranteed money totals will be given as follows: 1st - $400 (20%) 6th - $175 (8.75%) 2nd - $300 (15%) 7th - $150 (7.5%) 3rd - $250 (12.5%) 8th - $15 (6.25%) 4th - $225 (11.25%) 9th - $100 (5%) 5th - $200 (10%) 10th - $75 (3.75%) Premiums for Bred & Owned Division: 1st - $300 (30%) 2nd - $250 (25%) 3rd - $200 (20%) 4th - $150 (15%) 5th - $100 (10%) In case of a tie, each animal that is part of the tie will receive the same amount.

Featuring Erin Halleran

Introduce yourself.

My name is Erin Halleran. I am a sophomore at Waterloo High School in Illinois. I am very involved in FFA and the marching band program. Within FFA I serve on many committees and compete in many CDEs. Livestock judging is definitely my favorite. I also am part of a group called orange crush, which is a group that puts together all the pep events.

Number of Hampshire in your flock.

Twenty-five.

Favorite show you have attended and why?

My favorite show is the all american because of all the activities and events you can participate in and the atmosphere is unlike any other show. Everyone is there to have fun and make memories, which I think is really important.

What do you like about Hampshires?

I like the Hampshire breed for many reasons but specifically, I love their elegance. They are a very pretty breed, they also have very funny personalities (as most sheep do).

What is your fondest sheep memory? ​

My fondest sheep memory is the 2022 lambing season because I was able to learn how to tube lambs and finally got past my fear of pulling lambs! We also had a 100% live rate for our lamb crop that year and we were so happy.

Future plans and goals.

My future plans are to attend college, hopefully Iowa State, and get a degree in animal nutrition. I would then like to pursue livestock nutrition and keep my own herd of hampshire sheep. I hope to be able to raise sheep and show them with my future family like my parents did for me.

Favorite Food.

A good steak.

Favorite Activity Away from Sheep?

Hunting with my dad.

What would be your ultimate vacation?

The Bahamas or somewhere tropical.

What’s a fun fact about yourself?

I can play 8 different instruments.

Happy 2023! We are so excited to kick off this year and planning is in full swing for all junior activities and events!

My name is Morgan Hauger, and I am your current AJHSA Junior Board President. I raise and show slick-shorn Hampshire sheep in Connersville, Indiana. This May, I will be graduating from Purdue University with a degree in Agriculture Communications.

We had a wonderful 2022 show season, and can’t wait for the 2023 season! New to 2023, we would like to have more activities and member involvement at junior and national shows. There is also opportunities for your regional and state shows to have Hampshire activities. If this is something that interests you or your state, please reach out to a junior board member and we will assist you in your event.

This year, the junior board proposed a new set of requirements and guidelines for the American Junior Hampshire Sheep Association Junior Board. These guidelines can be accessed through contacting a member. With these new guidelines, we have decided to elect the 2024 officers now and those newly elected officers can shadow the current officers before beginning their term.

Our officers are the following. Congratulations to these junior board members! ● President Elect: Grace Powell ● Vice President Elect: Ty Thorson ● Secretary Elect: Erin Hallerman ● Treasurer Elect: Alivia Porter My name is Grace Powell, and I am the President Elect for AJHSA Junior Board. My family and I live in Watertown, Tennessee where we raise Hampshire, Southdown, Cheviot and Dorset sheep. I currently attend the University of Tennessee at Knoxville where I am pursuing a degree in Agriculture Communications.

We both look forward to a great year! Again, please feel free to reach out to either of us or to any junior board member. Let’s have a great year for junior Hamp members and exhibitors!

Sincerely,

Morgan Hauger

AJHSA Junior Board President

Grace Powell

AJHSA Junior Board President Elect

Hello everyone, my name is Lane Brooks and I have served on the Junior Board for two years now. I have been blessed to be a part of this outstanding association and having the opportunity to work with youth across the United States. Over the past two years, I have helped with many events the Jr. Board has put together to give the youth in the American Hampshire Association a way to interact with others and make relationships that could last a lifetime. I have enjoyed the time spent on the Junior Board.

My favorite part of the Junior Board is the relationships I have made throughout the years. I am on the Junior Board with the best group of people in and out of the show ring. I have grown as a person while working alongside this group and I could not repay them for their guidance through the past two years. I also have had opportunities to talk to breeders all over the United States that have given advice to help lead me to where I am today. The relationships you make as a Jr. Board member has really helped me grow as a person and a breeder.

My time as a Junior Board member is something I will cherish. I am blessed to be a part of this group of people. The American Junior Hampshire Sheep Association makes an effort to support the youth. Even though we all are competing for a banner, I believe the members of the American Junior Hampshire Sheep Association are willing to help each other succeed. I will not take my time spent as a junior board member for granted and look forward to seeing everyone at NAILE 2023.

Let’s talk baby lambs!

Lambing season is the most difficult time of the year when it comes to raising sheep.

Countless hours are spent preparing throughout the year for the lambing season to operate smoothly, but you still end up with a disaster before the lambing season is over. Personally, I have found this time of year very rewarding through all the obstacles that seem to get in the way.

Time management is the most difficult aspect about lambing season. We all have a life outside of the barn. I find that school takes a lot of time out of my day that I need to spend preparing for the next ewe to lamb. I also find that there is not enough time in a day to really predict the unpredictable to happen. I have learned that managing my time accordingly to make sure I am available to help the ewes throughout the day should be a priority. There is a need to make sure that a plan is established in case I do have issues occur while the ewe is in labor.

Lastly, I have found that it is important to know your ewe’s behavior. This has allowed me to catch problems early and save the lives of the pregnant ewe and the lambs.

Lambing season is rough on everyone, but the reward outweighs the obstacles. I believe it is important to manage your time wisely so you can hopefully have more success. Establish a plan to the best of your ability for things you cannot imagine happening. Your ewes are what makes the money for your operation. Make sure they are taken care of and you help them when they need it. I personally have increased my lambing success since I started managing my time more effectively throughout lambing season. Time management can really help your operation throughout this time of the year.

My name is Erin Halleran. I am the upcoming 2024 AJHSA Junior Board Secretary, and this is my third year serving on the board. I raise a flock of frame Hampshire sheep in Waterloo, Illinois, with the help of my family. My grandparents have raised sheep for several years and at a young age, got us grandkids in the barn. Together my cousins and I now own over eight different breeds!

Becoming a board member has been an adventure that has opened up so many opportunities. The people I have been able to meet, the events I have been able to help put together, and the knowledge I have gained during these last three years is something I hope every young person gets to experience.

Throughout the few years that I have been a part of the AJHSA Junior Board, I have gained so many experiences and friendships that I never thought I would be able to have. The board plans several events and activities for the members and represents the association at shows. On top of planning, junior members play an important role in forming the future of the Hampshire breed and the show industry!

Speaking of the show industry, it is about more than winning competitions; it’s about making memories and spending time doing what you love. The livestock community is dedicated to helping each other grow. We take pride in raising and showing our livestock. We owe it to the next generation to maintain this legacy and provide opportunities to grow.

The future of the show industry is extremely important to me, and I am dedicated to helping the industry continue to grow and thrive. In the next few decades, technology is going to change the landscape of the sheep production industry. The industry will also face many challenges. In my role as junior board member, I would like to help equip the next generation to better handle these changes. I am excited to be able to support new generations of breeders to ensure that this industry continues to flourish!
