> LETTER FROM THE EDITOR HELLO LONG LOST FRIEND!

Wowser, its been several months since we graced your mailbox and for that I’m sorry. When you receive this issue I will be somewhere between almost being a new mom and navigating being a new mom. I appreciate all the kind words and grace everyone has given me during this journey. I will be missing my first NAILE that I can ever remember, and while that’s weird its worth it (at least this once).

Summer was a fun one for myself and the Ringside crew as we hit the show road. I enjoyed getting to capture so many memories, work with some amazing people and watch juniors do their thing at Freedom Fest, All-American Junior Sheep Show and the Youth Sheep Expo. Hopefully, we can do it again next summer.

As we put together this issue and celebrate all the success of this past summer show season it gets me excited for fall shows and the upcoming lambing and sale season. Whenever you raise livestock you continue to strive to improve your genetics and make sound breeding decisions that help you reach those goals. While lambing (or calving in my case) can be full of long hours and ups and downs, those hours are all worth it as you watch the babies grow, find their new homes and make their presence known in the show ring. This issue celebrates those whose time and decisions paid off. Please take a moment to review their ads, flocks and watch for upcoming sales.

Another awesome thing about this issue is it marks TWO YEARS of Ringside! I never guessed we would make it here, but what a fun ride it has been and I hope continues to be. Thank you for everyone who advertised with us this past year and has supported us in many ways. Also a shout out to the Columbia Association for asking us to become editor of their Speaking of Columbias magazine this past year.

I know its weird to say in November, but hoping everyone has a great holiday season and a Happy New Year. 2022 will be knocking on the door before we know it. Best of luck to those exhibiting at NAILE. I’ll be cheering and watching online!

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US RINGSIDE!

> LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Just like every fall we are staying busy between farming, lambing and all the other various jobs we seem to find. Here in Illinois fall lambing weather seemed to be much warmer than usual with fans running to help keep everyone cool. Between the heat and flies we kept a very close eye on all the lambs to ensure they stayed healthy.

Harvest has been slow going here between the weather and various breakdowns we have experienced. Hopefully, if you are in the midst of harvest, you are having success, we are hoping for smooth sailing to finish harvest up before heading to NAILE.

With NAILE quickly approaching we are back in show preparation mode around here as well. We look forward to seeing everyone in Louisville in a few short weeks. We will be Kentucky bound before long. Please look for Sarah or I while at NAILE to talk about Ringside or Speaking of Columbias. We would love to get your ad booked for the December Directory issue of Speaking of Columbias or the February issue of Ringside. We may also have some fun goodies to give away!

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US RINGSIDE!

Siblings In the Spotlight:

The Ryan Sisters

One of my favorite things to watch is siblings work together to achieve goals in the show ring and with their flocks. Possibly, because Sarah and I did this growing up with all species of livestock as well as Cruz, Trent, and Olivia in the sheep ring. Heck we still work with our siblings (and sibling in laws) today in many aspects of our livestock operations. So I felt it would be fun and fitting to interview a few siblings enjoy these mini stories.

We start with the Ryan Sisters, Charlee, age 10, and Harper, age 7. Charlee and Ryan run Ryan Southdowns with their parents in Taylorville, IL. 1. What breed of sheep do you show and why do you like it?

Charlee: Southdowns, because they are small, tame, and loving.

Harper: Southdowns, because they are fuzzy and cute.

2. What’s your favorite part of showing/raising sheep? What is your least?

Charlee Favorite: Showmanship & taming baby lambs down Charlee Least: Getting wet washing sheep & saying goodbye to the old mommas Harper Favorite: when I win a banner & having new babies Harper Least: the long drive to shows & mean old bucks 3. What is your favorite show and why?

Charlee: Louisville because it’s the biggest show of the year and it’s the last time I’ll see my sheep friends for the year.

Harper: All-American Junior Show because of all of the activities.

4. What do you like about showing with your sister?

8 | Ringside

Charlee: We tried that in team showmanship once and it didn’t go well! But we do enjoy helping each other getting sheep tame and ready for show day.

Harper: Having help and watching my sister.

5. If you could pick another breed to show what would it be and why?

Charlee: Romney because they are cute and the bucks are not mean!

Harper: Baby Doll Southdowns because they are so adorable.

6. What is something you have learned from showing/raising sheep?

Charlee: If your calm with the sheep they will be calm for you. Some of your best friends are met in the barn.

Harper: That it’s a lot of work.

7. What advice do you have to other siblings who show together?

If things aren’t going perfect try your hardest to stay calm because everyone makes mistakes. You will always do better if your having fun doing it.

Siblings In the Spotlight:

The Howe Kids

Next up the Howe kids, Beau, age 14, and Peyton, age 11. Beau and Peyton run Howe Farms with their parents in Danforth, IL. 1. What breed of sheep do you show and why do you like it?

Both: Primary breed is Southdowns. They are docile in the barn and super competitive in the ring. We also raise Suffolks. Dad( Brad) used to raise them. They are much easier to shear off. It’s become a challenge to make them better and improve the breed.

2. What’s your favorite part of showing/raising sheep? What is your least?

They both agreed meeting new friends from all over the country was the best part.

Beau: loves making all breeding decisions and waiting for lambs to see if it clicked.

Teresa’s Top Ten Tunes

My name is Teresa Hromis and I am from Chichester, New Hampshire.

I am currently working at Forsee Southdowns in Owenton, Kentucky as the flock manager.

I’ve been raising Romney sheep my whole life and attended my first sheep show when I was eight years old. My passion for the industry has only grown since.

10 | Ringside

Peyton: loves socializing the lambs when they are in the creep pen.

Their least favorite parts are halter breaking lambs and having to cull and take sheep to market.

3. What is your favorite show and why?

Beau: loves NAILE and showing on the green shavings.

It ends the show season for us.

Peyton: Illinois state fair cause it’s the last show of the summer before school starts and the home state fair is special (Continued on pg. 12)

Siblings In the Spotlight:

The Howe Kids

4. What do you like about showing with your sister?

Beau: thinks she has a good eye in the ring and makes changes quickly. She also is good at calming the crazy ones.

Peyton: Beau is strong enough to handle the stubborn ones but lets her take the head on the sheep that work best with her. She also loves watching him show in showmanship cause he’s really smooth and she learns from him.

5. If you could pick another breed to show what would it be and why?

Beau: Suffolks.

Peyton: Babydolls cause they are adorable 6. What is something you have learned from showing/raising sheep?

Beau: learned in order to make the flock better, sometimes critical decisions have to be made and we have to define what we want our sheep to be known for. LAI has helped us a bunch.

Peyton: wants to be a veterinarian some day and embraces the health and well being of the flock. She pulls all blood samples and is very involved in what meds need to be given and what dosage.

7. What advice do you have to other siblings who show together?

Beau: says to push each other to be better and learn to work together.

Peyton: says accept that certain animals work better for different people. Use each other’s strengths to your teams advantage.

12 | Ringside

In the end, we are a team and we win, lose, and definitely grow and get better together. In 2018, we had a really bad experience and lost a lot of animals.

Mom and dad gave us the choice to be done or rebuild and we chose to rebuild focusing more on breeding sheep than market lambs. Many of our best friends we have are from the breeding sheep world and we love our decision. It was awesome to see who jumped in to help us in our time of need. We will never forget that!

It’s Okay, To Not Be Okay

When was the last time you were able to serve others? Was it in the show ring, the barn, at work?

Wherever it may have been, how did it make you feel? Were you overcome with a rush of fulfillment, happiness, or even pride in the end? For a majority of us, we strive to help those in the junior livestock industry. Sure, chasing personal goals is a rush in itself, but at the end of the day we all should strive to impact the younger generation. However, in the midst of serving others we can’t forget to serve ourselves.

What do I mean by that? Well, I’d like to share a story, but before I do it’s important to note that this story has a lot of intricate parts. If we were to explore every inch of every moving part, we’d miss the main point of the story. So, keep that in mind as we move forward.

In January of my senior year, I made a few mistakes that I let myself be defined by. As I was trying to find myself again, my family and I lost our flock and over 20 years of genetics to a barn fire. 13 days after that, on March 13, the global pandemic shut everything down. The guilt, heartache, and isolation that I experienced deteriorated my mental health.

Towards the summer, everything started to look bright again. I was showing sheep, enjoying family time, and was just elected to serve as an Indiana FFA State Officer. Things took a quick turn for the worse in early November. Keep in mind, up until this point I hadn’t taken time to process what all had happened in the past 11 months. The straw finally broke the camel’s back when I received a positive COVID-19 test just days before my teammates and I were supposed to host a leadership conference for FFA members. The conference was canceled and feelings of guilt and shame overcame me. Quarantine left me with a good amount of time to look back on the year and how I had been feeling. Hopelessness and loneliness led to suicide ideation, which consumed my life. After these strong feelings persisted, I finally told my parents that

14 | Ringside

I needed help. I don’t share this for a pity party, but to help others understand the thoughts behind those who struggle with mental illness.

After my quarantine was up, I made the trip to Louisville, Kentucky for the North American International Livestock Exposition (N.A.I.L.E.). This was a show I had been attending with my family since I was born and was always ecstatic to attend.

However, this time was different. When I got there I felt detached from where I was. I wasn’t happy in an environment that in most cases was a safe haven.

Halfway through the week, I had to leave the show early to go to a doctor’s appointment. During this visit, I was diagnosed with a mental disorder called clinical depression. After being home for a few days and spending time with my family I chose to be put on medication. About a month later on December 22nd I sat in my bed, sobbed in the dark, and ate a whole pint of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. The medication was taking away a majority of the physical symptoms, but the voices in my head only got louder. Over Christmas break, I reached out to a therapist and started addressing the root of my feelings. I learned that I had unresolved trauma in my life that I needed to address.

Therapy was going well, but on December 30th I hit a wall. I felt like a burden to my family for facing these issues and I just wanted the pain to go away. That same night I texted the suicide prevention line saying I wanted to overdose. They were able to calm me down and stop me from taking action. Shortly after this, I had to head back to the FFA Center where my teammates and I had to quarantine again. On January 6th, I couldn’t handle it anymore. I felt as if no one cared, as if I wasn’t enough, and this world would be a better place without me. I gathered all the pills I had from the trial and error process, stared at them and slowly gulped each of them down. 1…2…3…4…5…

I looked at the 6th one and stopped. I didn’t want to

die, I just didn’t want to deal with the voices in my head. Quickly after that, I reached out to a group of ladies who went through similar journeys and I trusted.

For a long time, I’d been so focused on serving others, that I failed to serve myself.

If you’ve ever had similar feelings please know, you’re not alone. The agriculture industry is one of the hardest to be a part of from a mental standpoint. We face so many daily stressors from weather, finance, disease, and more. When the going gets tough, we tend to push ourselves to extreme levels and put up a wall. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we stop striving for success. My point is that amidst our journey to success, we must first take care of ourselves.

I understand that we don’t all face mental illness; however, at some point in our lives we all struggle with our mental health. In these moments, we have to be okay with stepping back and asking for help. The stigma around mental health in our industry has to end. The next time you go to serve others, ask yourself if your needs have been met? Are you in the right mindset to be investing into others? Lastly, can you be fully committed to those that are counting on you? If the answer is no, get the help you need. No banner is worth more than your life and you will never get to experience hanging a banner if you aren’t here.

If you aren’t struggling, check in on your friends. I beg you to go beyond surface level questions. Finally, if you notice a stranger barely keeping their head above water, help them. We preach how tight-knit our industry is, well it’s time to get to work and start making our actions line up with our words.

Siblings In the Spotlight: The Syme Sisters We end with the Syme Sisters, Madelyn, age 14, and Morgan, age 11. With their parents they run Scotch Lane Farm in South Windsor, CT.

you like it?

1. What breed of sheep do you show and why do

Madelyn: I have Dorset sheep. There is nothing better than a pretty Dorset!

Morgan: I have Natural Colored sheep. I love their colors and patterns.

2. What’s your favorite part of showing/raising sheep? What is your least?

Madelyn Favorite: I love showing sheep because I am rewarded in the show ring for breeding, feeding, training, and fitting my own sheep.

Madelyn Least: My least favorite thing is washing all my sheep.

Morgan Favorite: I like showing because you get to have fun showing your best work. I like playing with the little lambs I raise.

Morgan Least: My least favorite thing to do is carrying water buckets.

3. What is your favorite show and why?

Madelyn: My favorite show is NAILE because you get to compete with the best of the best from around the country.

Morgan: I like the All American Junior Show because we get to meet new people. I also like the AAJS Opening Ceremony and lining up with the other kids from my state.

4. What do you like about showing with your sister?

Madelyn: I like showing with my sister because I think we complement each other as a team. I’m the header and she is the heeler.

Morgan: Madelyn and I make a good team when we are working together. We seem to know what the 16 | Ringside

other is thinking. I am proud when Madelyn and I get the sheep looking good.

5. If you could pick another breed to show what would it be and why?

Madelyn: I have (not so secretly) wanted to raise Border Leicesters since helping show them a couple of years ago. They are so cute and seem very easy going.

Morgan: I really like Border Leicesters. I love their curly and fluffy wool.

6. What is something you have learned from showing/raising sheep?

Madelyn: When showing, the ribbons only count if you put the work in before the show.

Morgan: Showing and raising sheep teaches you to always keep trying and never give up. Stay positive, be patient. Remember the best moments.

7. What advice do you have to other siblings who show together?

Madelyn: It has helped us to work together at home with each animal so we can practice making them look their best.

Morgan: I would tell others to try not to fight in the show ring, even if it is going badly. And definitely don’t elbow your sister in the head!

Future goals: Madelyn: I am working on my own Horned Dorset flock. I am excited for the future and hope to breed a Horn that could one day be a National Champion.

Morgan: A future goal that I hope to achieve is to become a sheep photographer. I also plan on beating Madelyn in showmanship!

The GAP program is designed to reconnect with Suffolk flocks that are purebred, but sheep have not been registered ever or in many years. The Amnesty program is designed for Suffolk flocks who have not registered in recent years and would like to catchup on registry work but at a more affordable price. The Percentage program has been around since the 1970s and is designed to register sheep that one parent is not a Suffolk or traces back to non-Suffolk parents. More information about these programs can be found at suffolks.org – select registry programs under the Program header. Or contact the Suffolk Office to learn more about how one of these programs will fit into your flock.
