ope all is safe and well in everyone’s part of the world.

The year had started good. Lambs were coming, the weather was tolerable, and then 2020 showed its true colors.

The rams must have decided to go on vacation for 3 weeks last fall in breeding season and I did not get that memo. Then the rains came, and they came, and they came.

Then let’s put a cherry on top with a frost and frigid temps around the 1st of May. Amongst all of that we had to add the big COVID-19 nightmare (not sure why it wasn’t called COVID-20 but not for me to decide). Never thought I’d see the day where people were classified “essential” and “non-essential”.

Only classification I was used to was “cull” or “keep” (for livestock that is not people).

Or better yet, who would have thought that toilet paper and disinfectant wipes would have a shortage. As well as, kids graduating from jr high, high school, and college

would see their school careers come to such an abrupt end the way they did and given their diplomas in their front yard, in a drive by situation, or on a stage with a 5 person audience.

This will definitely be one they will never forget.

see many states trying to organize youth shows and these kids, and many parents, need this. It is always good to get out and see those long distance friends and acquaintances.

Or, to get that blood flowing with some good healthy competition.

Weddings have taken a big toll also.

It hurts when you are not able to give your daughter the wedding that she has dreamed of since she was 10 years old. That is a tough sacrifice to make for anyone and I have seen the cancellations first hand.

Fortunately, many are having their small ceremonies anyways with less than “10” people of course. The vows are more important than all the people and the party. Heck, this just gives them an excuse to have a BIG party next year! Congratulations to all of our graduates and our new marital blessings!

I have noticed some excitement in Jayce lately because of these opportunities that are coming about for these kids to show. He really hasn’t had a lot to look forward to lately since he sacrificed his last 9 weeks of his 8th grade year and then county fair show season taken away.

I have also noticed that with the lack of live sales due to the pandemic that farms are seeing more foot traffic. It is always a positive thing when there is still demand and many of the online sales are seeing that interest.

Of course, it helps when you are confined with nothing else to do so On a positive side of things, I have you are able to sit at the computer learned through remote learning and analyze and bid on sheep. as to why I never became a teacher even though I would have loved to And that brings us to our first ever have had summers off to show. online National Montadale Sale. By the time this comes out, I am sure Another positive, is that you can it will be over and I hope it was a legally wear a mask into a store huge success. I would like to thank without anyone thinking it was our Board of Directors and Kendra, a robbery. And, people actually of course, for the many conference wash their hands more often now. calls over the past couple of months We all have obviously experienced to try and throw this together in more negatives than positives but such a short notice. Don’t forget we will get through it together. about our 3rd annual fall sale in Maybe heavier medicated, but we October. It will be here before you will get through the isolation and know it. restrictions.

I wanted to take this moment and Summer shows are gonna be few thank the Smith Family on their and far between but it is exciting to hard work over the years to keep a

magazine in our hands. They are true supporters of the Montadale breed. Annie did a wonderful job of organizing and designing pages. It took a lot of hours to do such a quality magazine and it was greatly appreciated.

It is nice to see our breed magazine in other breeds hands. It allowed us to stay in the eye of the public.

Their hard work also allowed our junior programs to thrive due to the proceeds from the ads in the magazine being given back to fund prizes for some of our junior shows. Thank you again.

carry on the tradition of funding the junior programs.

An even bigger Thank you to Kendra for adding yet another line item to her job title. You are the heart of this association! Thank you also to Nann Green for her dedication to our Junior program.

On a sadder note, we have lost some great people in the association this year. They brought a “breath of fresh air” so to say to this breed in different ways and to those around us. Rest in peace Mary Ellen, Rod, Martha, and Gordon. You will forever be in our hearts and we thank you for the many memories. My condolences to the I also want to thank Abby Coers for taking on this huge families. task of organizing our 1st edition of the new Montadale Minute. This magazine was designed to fill the void of Wishing all of you the very best and hope to eventually the Smiths not being able to do it this year due to time see you all “in person” sometime this year. Stay safe and constraints, the COVID shut down of the college, and at keep raising those MONTADALES! God bless each and the time, the anticipation of Greg’s knee surgery. every one of you!

We have thrown it together in a short amount of time and I thank her for stepping up to the challenge. I also thank those breeders who are supporting the new “unknown”. This will allow the association to hopefully

Montadale Minute ♦ 18

Samosas 2 cup all-purpose flour 0.5 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoon butter 0.25 cup water 1 quart oil for deep frying 2 tablespoon butter 1 ea small onion, chopped 2 clove garlic, chopped 2 ea green chile peppers, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, chopped 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric 0.5 teaspoon chili powder 0.75 pound ground lamb 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoon garam masala

Appetizers 15 ea

In a medium bowl, mix flour, salt and butter until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Pour in water, using more (up to approximately 1/4 cup) if necessary to make a smooth dough. Pat into a ball. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead 10 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Return to the bowl, cover and set aside. Heat oil in a large, deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Stir in onion, garlic, green chile peppers and ginger.

Cook 5 minutes, or until onions are golden brown. Stir in turmeric, chili powder, ground lamb and salt. Cook until the lamb meat is evenly brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in garam masala and lemon juice. Continue cooking 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Divide dough into 15 equal portions.

Roll portions into balls, then flatten into 4 inch circles. Cut each circle in half. Dampen edges and form semicircles into cones. Fill cones with equal portions of the lamb meat mixture. Dampen top and bottom edges of cones, and pinch to seal. Carefully lower cones into preheated oil a few at a time. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

1.5 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Oaxacon Lamb Barbacoa 3 med red potatoes,

cut into 1/2-inch dice

12 ounce carrots, peeled,

cut into 1/2-inch dice

6 ounce white onion,

halved and thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves,

peeled and halved

1 cup cooked garbanzo beans 1 large sprig of epazote 3 pound rolled-and-tied boneless lamb shoulder roast 1.5 C(see recipe) Adobo Marinade

Preparing the grill and soup ingredients. About 30 minutes before cooking, prepare a charcoal fire. Bank the coals to both sides of your grill to prepare for the indirect cooking. Position the cooking grate 8 inches above the coals and set an oven thermometer on the grate. In a heavy roasting pan (one that holds a small turkey is the right size), combine the potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, garbanzos and epazote.

Position the pan in the center of the grill grate. Pour water into the pan to about 2 inches from the top (it’ll take about 6 to 8 cups). Nestle a V-shaped roasting rack into the watery vegetable mixture. Cooking the meat. Generously smear Adobo Marinade over all sides of the lamb roast—you’ll need at least 1.5 cup. Lay the roast on top. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Cover the grill and cook, maintaining a moderately low temperature (between 250 and 300 degrees), checking every 20 minutes and adding charcoal as needed. Cook until the lamb is beautifully smoky-roasted and fall-apart tender (it’ll register about 170 degrees on a meat thermometer), about 2 1/2 hours. Be sure to periodically check the slow-simmering soup that’s capturing all those aromatic lamb juices to ensure the liquid level remains more or less the same; add more water if it’s needed. Finishing the dish. With a couple of meat forks or spatulas, remove the roast to a heat-proof platter, breaking it into large chunks. Sprinkle with salt, cover loosely with foil and keep warm in a low oven. Meanwhile, carefully remove the pan of soup from the bottom of the grill. Skim off the fat that is floating on the surface, then taste and season with salt, usually about 3/4 teaspoon.

Marinade for Lamb Barbaoa 3 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil 18 ea garlic cloves, peeled and

finely chopped

1.5 cup ground ancho chile powder 9 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 4.5 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican 2.25 teaspoon sugar 3 teaspoon salt

Montadale Minute ♦ 20

In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium. Add the garlic, stir until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute, then add the remaining ingredients and ¾ cup water, whisking to combine thoroughly. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes to blend flavors and eliminate the “raw” ancho taste. Allow to cool to room temperature, then scrape into a jar and cover. Refrigerate for up to a month or more.

G

ene McGrew has been raising montadales for over 65 years and has lots of great memories. Each year he started off by setting yearly goals to reach for his shows, sales, and in the lambing barn. Going to the Illinois state fair and the national show and sale is a very important part of his year. While breeders are competitive and all want to win he always looks forward to seeing and talking to the montadale breeders about their past experiences.

Gene was on the National Board and served many offices such as vice president and president. When he was on the board he worked with his fellow board members to get goals accomplished. Gene was very thankful to work with a great group that was willing to work together to move the breed forward. They sat there past aside and everyone was encouraged to give their views on issues the breed faced. They were able to move ahead by improvements in the quality of the sheep and the numbers of breeders and sheep. He will always cherish the memories and a great lifetime experience.

One of the biggest changes he has seen in the breed is the type of sheep we produce today and the breeders. Montadales were started as an improved desirable commercial type sheep with good meat and wool values. As the breed grew more so did the type of sheep. They grew to be a larger show type of sheep. Specialty sheep with improved meat and wool such as wether type, natural colored, spinner type wool, hair sheep, and newer breeds were used in commercial operations such as Katahdin’s. They did not

require shearing docking to ease caring or other benefits.

It’s a big change from years ago when the English breeds dominated. Breeders have changed with the times also.

Livestock operations either increased in size or are more focused on crop production with no livestock. Juniors are more focused on sports or other activities and gone away from breeding animals and focus more on the market animals and have them from April to August timeline. Less time is involved with slick shearing and just summertime commitment is the popular program. Gene says good or bad that’s the way he sees it.

Gene says.

“Finally, I would be remiss if I did not recognize the many, many breeders who gave their time and experience to the Montadale breed.

A big THANK YOU, THANK YOU to all the present and past breeders of MONTADALES.” This article was written by Katie Patterson of Farmington, Illinois. Katie is a 2020 graduate of Farmington High School and serves as the voice of the junior membership on the Montadale Board of Directors.

The Montadale Sheep: Dual-Purpose, Dual Appreciation

P

roducers and fiber enthusiasts alike reference sheep breeds most frequently associated with production of what is considered most desirable fiber using the Merino as a standard of measure.

However, it should be noted that the Montadale should not be excluded from the short list of fiber production affiliates. As a sheep breed created to be dual purpose, the Montadale fits well into the category of hand spinning fleece as well as needle felting fleeces for various reasons.

Montadale fiber ranges in color from a very clear crystal white to cream as well as the occasional deep smoky gray or wonderful pewter and dove grays. The purity in the whites ensure any dying project a very clear color take, while the darker creams and grays give a depth and heathery color when dyed. This offers a wide variety of colors from the same pot of dye and speaks to the diversity of the Montadale fibers. As noted in an article written by Jane Fournier for the 1994 summer issue of Spin-Off, “the wool has little luster, but the loft and bulk of the fiber contributes excellent elasticity and body to yarns”. The Montadale wool has been found to be an excellent choice for blending with other animal fibers such as alpaca and mohair to give drape and body to the yarns created with the blends. The lofty nature of the Montadale wool allows these yarns to be used for light weight, warm clothing without the bulk.

Currently bred mainly as a meat and show animal, the Montadale fleece has not recently been bred

Susan W Proctor

for fiber consistency, in part due to experimental breeding projects for exploratory qualities. Fleeces as fine as the Rambouiliet, which is a foundation breed of the Columbia, to fleeces which more resemble the Cheviot with more open, less defined crimp, can now be found within the breed and even within an individual fleece. During judging of fleeces at a fiber show, one judge nationally known for hand spinning turned fleece judge noted she found two very different fleece characteristics within one Montadale fleece; thus giving the option of having two different projects from the same fleece. From slight color variation to crimp texture, even the staple length can run from 3 inches to 6 inches and the micron count can run from 20 to 35 microns.

Sasha Torres, owner of Sheep Spot, used Montadale fleeces as her September Fiber Club offering in 2015. In her comments to her club members about the Montadale fleece, she noted “I really, really love this fiber. It is both sturdy and appropriate for next-to-skin wear. It’s warm, bright white shows color beautifully, and it’s such a delightful spin that it seems to want to become a delicious yarn.”

John Crane, a knitter from Vermont, noted upon purchasing a Montadale fleece, “ I especially appreciate fleeces like this one: excellent crimp, good staple length, soft but not fragile like Merino, a perfect “sweater wool”.

Within the Montadale sheep lies more than the story-book profile of big bodied white sheep ideal for meat market purposes. As a breed founded to capitalize on dualpurpose production, opportunity awaits for both the producer and the fiber enthusiast, and calls for education and research into the qualities essential to quality fiber production offered by the Montadale sheep as well as recognition given to the versatility and similarities the Montadale fleece offers along side many of the same excellent qualities offered from breeds considered ‘strictly for fiber’. The diversity of the Montadale breed through its meat market purposes as well as its potential for fleeces with exquisite versatility and performance renders the marks of an excellent dual purpose production animal to be appreciated by meat producers and fiber enthusiasts alike.

Dear Montadale Breeders, It is with a degree of sadness that I pen this letter. I know that by now you all know of the passing of Mary Ellen Dunn and Rod Crome. These were mainstays of the Montadale breed for many years. Mary Ellen was the First Lady of the the first family of the Montadale breed. She was one of the greatest Christian ladies that I have had the privilege to know. Larry, Mary Ellen and their family have been an inspiration to many of us for years. She will be missed by many for a long time.

Rod Crome was an excellent shepherd, showman, fitter, and judge known from coast to coast. But I will always remember him as the breed comedian. Rod always had a story and could always make me laugh. The world is a lesser place without these two people.

I wish to thank all of the breeders who supported the Montadale Momentum.

Situations exist that made it impossible for us to continue the magazine. We are fortunate as a breed to have a young lady willing to edit a new magazine named the “Montadale Minutes.” Please support her efforts as you did ours. I firmly believe that we need a hands on publication to help promote Montadales. Please help support our breed by supporting this new magazine.

As we travel through these troubled times I hope everyone stays safe and healthy.

If you would have told me a year ago that I was going to have to service a year without dining out, watching NCAA basketball tournament games or having sheep sales and shows to attend I would have thought about having you committed. The thing I miss most is attending church and being able to fellowship with friends.

Always remember that God has promised to take care of you. It tells us 351 times in the Bible to “fear not for I am with you.” Keep the faith. Stay strong. Stay safe. Remember the greatest people in the world are sheep men and women. May the good Lord bless and keep you until we meet again.

Sincerely,

Greg Smith

“Trust in God but keep your powder dry.”

In Loving Memory...

Mary Ellen had a large garden, and besides sewing, she was very good at different crafts, as well as shopping at high rates of speed. Speed was usually involved when she was driving, including in the Mustang convertible Larry bought her for their 40th wedding anniversary.

She was a lifelong member of Hopewell Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and was the president of the Women’s Missionary Union for many years. She was also a founding member of the Harmony Club (Missouri Federated Women’s Club) of Middletown.

M

ary Ellen (Baugh) Dunn died on April 24 secure in the love of her Savior, her husband, and her family. She was born June 23, 1937 to Olin and Elizabeth (Ankrom) Baugh near Middletown, MO. She attended Crossroads Elementary and Wellsville-Middletown High School. On February 27, 1955 in Wellsville, Missouri, she married Larry Dunn. During their 65 years together, they worked the family farm as partners, with Mary Ellen often driving tractors and tandem grain trucks with the CB handle Little Bo Peep. Larry and Mary Ellen raised three daughters, Kathy, Laura Lee, and Julie.

Mary Ellen was a lifelong shepherd, with her father beginning their Montadale flock in 1945, and then continuing Baugh & Dunn Montadales when her father Olin and husband Larry entered into a partnership in 1958. Their flock is now the oldest continuous Montadale flock in the United States. She enjoyed attending various fairs and sheep shows, never missing a Missouri State Fair since 1975. She loved and enjoyed seeing her sheep showing family at each of these events. Mary Ellen participated in Ladies Lead Line for many years, often wearing outfits made for the Make It Yourself With Wool contest. Continuing the tradition, she made many wool outfits for her daughters and grandaughters.

sheep industry, it was the manner to which he executed the work and his personal style that was most impressive. Rod loved people! Rod was wellread and had many interests, which led to his longlasting friendships inside and outside the sheep industry. Rod had a talent for story-telling, with the charisma to bring people together, while never failing to make them laugh. Rod could tell stories for hours at a time and when finished, those listening wanted more.

Rod had great love for his family and friends and fought a long and courageous battle to stay with them. Rod leaves us with the blessings of his daughter, Micca Hornbuckle (Scott) and granddaughter, Coe, in Douglas, WY, as well as his son, Mac Crome (Alisa) in Alpine, UT . Rod’s children and granddaughter were the joys of his life and he made many trips out west over the years to spend time with them.

Due to Rod’s reputation of excellence in the sheep industry, he was asked to provide consultation on how to improve an owner’s flock, both nationally and internationally.

Martha was most proud of her champion ewe at the National Montadale Show and Sale. Martha, Myrna, Lucy, Heather and Teresa went to the state fair to show and they stayed in hotels; they had fun, but they all complained because nobody got any sleep because Martha was a big-time snorer. They would all come back tired but happy about a time well spent together.

Martha also played cards when she slowed down on the sheep showing; she played Shanghai rummy, canasta, and hand and foot. She loved and cared (and worried) about all her card-playing cohorts: Connie, Carole, Peg, Susie, Maxine, Jeannie, Sue, Dotty and many others that she played with over the years.
