At the time that I am writing this letter, the horrible tragedy in Texas has just happened. It has to be some of the most heartbreaking things that I have ever heard of! The families and friends that have lost loved ones, on behalf of the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association and myself I would like to say that our hearts break for you. It hit close to home for my family, as my brother-in-law had three nieces at Camp Mystic, fortunately all three of the girls are accounted for.
With the current things going on throughout our country both good and bad, it really puts things in perspective as to just how vulnerable the agriculture industry is in our state. From the lack of rain to the flooding, from the high cattle markets to the looming threat of the screw worms, from the ability to sell your cows high to not being able to replace them, from ridiculous operating costs to having affordable feed for the first time in quite a few years. All the things I mentioned above have one thing in common; we are NOT in control; we are not price makers we are price takers! It is a hard thing for people who do not know what we do to comprehend, so any chance that you get to share your story on social media, so folks see what struggles affect you then please do as your story makes a difference.
I was given the opportunity with a small group of industry leaders and producers to meet with and talk with the United States Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins in June. I was able to have a good amount of one-on-one time with her during the meeting and was able to cover a large range of topics that plague our state that can only be changed through federal action, she asked me for materials that we want changed and I gave her everything she asked for.
So, hopefully we will see some action taken in the near future that will benefit the entire state. We had a good conversations about the New World Screwworm and what it could do to the food security of our nation. Secretary Rollins assured me that USDA is doing everything necessary to ensure that we don’t have to deal with the Screwworm outbreak in the USA and that she’s pretty optimistic that we will be unaffected by this little satan fly! I Pray that she is right, I really do not want to deal with trying to make a living and fight this horrible pest at the same time!
An update on the NIETC Corridor will be pretty uneventful, we have nothing new to report at this time. I can say that the DOE has cut $25 to $30 billion from their budget in the last few months, I can also say that this project does not fit the current administration’s narrative. Regardless, your team at NMCGA continues to reach out to DC officials and our friends in DC to be as impactful as possible.
Please continue to pray for the broken hearts that lost a loved one in the floods, and for your friends and neighbors who have lost a loved one. Prayer is the only thing that can heal us all!
Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
Numbers 6:24-26

Keeping the Tank Full… For Now
by Derrell S. Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist
The latest USDA Cattle on Feed report highlights the important distinction between stocks and flows in data. Cattle on Feed is a stock (or inventory) value at a point in time, while placements and marketings are flows of cattle through feedlots. Feedlot placements of cattle in May were down 7.8 percent year over year, a slightly bigger decrease than expected. Placements have been down seven of the past ten months with total placements the last six months
down 4.4 percent compared to the same period one year earlier. In fact, annual (12month) average monthly placements peaked cyclically in February 2018 and are down 8.0 percent as of May 2025 (Figure 1). The largest U.S. calf crop in this cattle cycle was in 2018 and has been getting smaller since then.
Despite lower placements, the July 1 feedlot inventory was 11.442 million head, down just 1.2 percent year over year. Feedlot inventories have been lower year over year for the past seven months but have averaged just a 1.2 percent decrease each of those months. Moreover, the June 12-month moving average of feedlot inventories is down just 2.8 percent from the cyclical peak in average feedlot inventories in September 2022 (Figure 2).
The discrepancy between feedlot placements and inventories is explained by feedlot marketings relative to placements. May
placements were down 10.2 percent year over year, about as expected, but have decreased a total of only 3.1 percent year over year in the past six months, including the May figure. Annual average marketings peaked cyclically in March 2020 and are down 7.0 percent since then (Figure 1).
The feedlot is like a water tank with placements as the inflow and marketings as the outflow. Slower inflow is more than offset by slower outflow and helps keep the inventory (stock level) of the feedlots temporarily higher than the flows would indicate. However, feedlot inventories will keep slowly eroding with more time. The fact is that feedlot production and beef production are falling and will continue to fall, probably faster, in the coming months. ▫

Celebrating 250 Years
July 4, 2026 will make the 250th year for our nation. National celebrations are being planned from Washington, D.C. to Mount Rushmore and beyond. Likely there will be regional and locals celebrations galore.
At least I hope so. It should be a time that we can put aside our differences and celebrate the freedom to have those differences. I hope that when an opportunity presents itself, we will all choose to participate and celebrate.
D.C. Now Days
I had the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. in late June. It was one of the best trips I have ever taken to our nation’s Capital. Given the number of trips I have made the last 30 years that is saying something.
Although it is disappointing that the U.S Senate has chosen not to confirm numerous agency positions, including two of the agencies that ranchers depend upon the most. Those are the Department of the Interior (DOI) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA). However there are people in place to listen and who have a real interest in the problems of rural America. These people have the power to make needed changes. I think we will be seeing much needed changes in the weeks and months to come.
I am proud that some of those people are people who we know, have watched grow up, or worked with for years. New Mexico’s Jeremy Witte is the Deputy Under Secretary of Marketing and Regulatory Programs. Carlsbad’s Linsey Crowell (nee Ogden) is Senior Advisor, Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC), Office of the Under Secretary (USEC), Office of the Secretary (OSEC). Roswell’s Casey Conlee has been appointed as Deputy Chief of Staff for the Office of Congressional Relations.
Former Congresswoman Yvette Herrell
has been tapped for the Office of Congressional Relations, an appointment that must be confirmed. Karen Budd Falen has been appointed as Assistant Deputy Secretary of the DOI overseeing federal lands issues.
It appears that we have new champions in the Small Business Administration. In response to the DOI on a request for Information on Regulatory Reform the agency spent two pages on the Mexican wolf. Their recommendation was to delist the Mexican gray wolf, a request that has become a mantra in the last few months in New Mexico and Arizona.
The trip included a visit to Arizona’s Representative Paul Gosar. Gosar’s office was in the process of finishing H.R. 4255, the Enhancing Safety for Animals (ESA) Act, a measure to delist the Mexican wolf.
Tariffs
This is certainly not my area of expertise, but there is news that the fake media isn’t reporting on the subject. Due to the recent tariffs, the U.S. Treasury Department posted a budget surplus of $27 billion for the month of June, according to Dick Morris on Newsmax
Additionally, Morris continued, there is no inflation and the cost of imported goods is down.
Time for prayer…
I would be remiss if I don’t request prayers and any other assistance possible for the families who have lost so much in central Texas and south central New Mexico. As I write this, both areas are under flood watches again. Godspeed. ▫
NMED Extends Timeline for Workplace Heat Protection Rule
The New Mexico Environment Department’s (NMED) Occupational Health and Safety Bureau has announced that it will extend the adoption timeline for its proposed heat illness and injury rule.
This adjustment will allow for continued outreach and stakeholder engagement throughout the summer and fall, ensuring broader participation and input in the rulemaking process.
An updated timeline of the rulemaking process is as follows:
Ї By June 30: NMED to complete review of stakeholder feedback from the initial public comment period which opened on April 1 and closed today. NMED will incorporate stakeholder feedback into a revised proposed rule.
Ї July and August: NMED will host a series of stakeholder roundtables to gather additional data from employers, employees, medical and insurance professionals, and various associations. The department will continue to revise the proposed rule per these stakeholder roundtables. To participate, please contact heatrule.comments@env.nm. gov.
Ї September: NMED will continue to revise the proposed rule.
Ї By October 1: NMED will file its amended workplace heat protection rule with the Environmental Improvement Board.
Ї November: An EIB hearing is held to determine the rule’s passage.
To assist in gathering necessary documentation around heat illnesses and injuries in New Mexico, NMED is specifically asking employers to provide information to the department outlining their policies and procedures to keep employees safe from heat illness and injury, as well as the historic data related to the effectiveness of their programs.
In addition, NMED is seeking data from the medical and insurance providers related to heat illness and injuries in New Mexico.
Since 2023, NMED has worked with employers to protect workers from heat-related incidents through its OSHA National Emphasis Program. Over the last 3 years, NMED has worked with stakeholders to prepare the proposed rule.
As heat-related incidents are expected to increase over the summer months, employees are encouraged to report such incidents directly to their employer and to the Occupational Health and Safety Bureau by calling (505) 476-8700. Any information reported to the bureau is considered anonymous unless the employee explicitly says otherwise.

BEWARE OF WOLVES
STAY ALERT
Make noise so you don’t surprise wildlife.
Hike with a walking stick and carry bear spray.
Keep dogs on a leash and close to you. Dogs aggravate wolves. If you encounter a wolf, keep the dog away from the wolf. Never approach a wolf.
IF A WOLF STANDS ITS GROUND OR APPROACHES YOU:
Do not run. Keep eye contact with the wolf and act unafraid. Aggressively lunge in the direction of the wolf while yelling and clapping your hands.
Make loud noises with whistles, air horns, music or bang pots and pans.
Appear as large and threatening as possible. Make aggressive gestures with your arms and legs or by waving or throwing objects at the wolf.
Act aggressively as you retreat slowly while facing the wolf.

Gosar Introduces Bill Removing Mexican Wolf from Endangered Species List
by Grayson Bakich
Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ) has introduced legislation to take the Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) off the Endangered Species List.
“Since being reintroduced to the wild in Arizona, Mexican wolves have preyed on cattle, livestock, and even family pets, causing significant financial losses and economic hardship on family-run ranches,” said Rep. Gosar in his press release, adding, “The Mexican wolf has lingered on the Endangered Species list for nearly 40 years. During that time, there have been numerous accounts of livestock killings and even declines in some big game herds since these wolves were first listed.”
Additionally, Rep. Gosar pointed out that 90 percent of the animal’s habitat is in Mexico, but “the USFWS considers recovery within the borders of Mexico in its management goals. American ranchers are being punished for Mexico’s failure to manage its own animal populations effectively.”
However, environmental groups have fought to keep the Mexican wolf on the list, even as its wild population has exceeded the original federal recovery goals and thus is safe from extinction.
Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ), the bill’s cosponsor, said, “The Mexican wolf is destroying the livelihood of western ranchers by slaughtering their cattle. Because of its status as an endangered species–a falsehood perpetuated by the Biden Administration and environmental groups–ranchers cannot protect their herds from these predators.”
“I’m thankful that Rep. Gosar is leading the effort to allow Arizona ranchers to protect their cattle without fear of repercussions from the federal government,” Rep. Biggs continued, adding, “Cattle are a vital part of Arizona’s economy, and Congress must ensure that ranchers are able to protect their herds from dangerous predators.”
State Representative Gail Griffin (R-19) previously called attention to the threat of the Mexican wolf at the beginning of June in an op-ed for the Eastern Arizona Courier, saying, “To protect our communities and our way of life, we must stand up against this unfounded and unjust system.” ▫

Ranching Heritage Association Working
Cowboy Award to go to Texas Cowboy Tom Moorhouse and New Mexico Cowboy Jeff Bilberry
The Ranching Heritage Association will honor two working cowboys with this year’s annual RHA Working Cowboy Award. The eastern division recipient is Tom Moorhouse, Benjamin, Texas. The western division recipient is Jeff Bilberry, Kenna, New Mexico.
The RHA Working Cowboy Awards will be presented during the annual National Golden Spur Award Honors on Saturday, October 4, at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center in Lubbock, Texas.
“The RHA Working Cowboy Award is designed to recognize outstanding individuals who make their living primarily on horseback, caring for livestock on a daily basis,” said Jim Bret Campbell, executive director of the Ranching Heritage Association and the National Ranching Heritage Center. “Our Board of Directors believes it’s important to recognize those folks who
brave all kinds of weather and conditions to ensure that work on a ranch gets done.
Tom Moorhouse and Jeff Bilberry are well respected as top cowboys and embody all the requirements of the working cowboy award.”

region’s cultural and economic legacy.
“Because of Tom’s dedication and skill in his trade, he has unintentionally done more than almost anyone to preserve the ‘working cowboy’ way of life,” said John Welch, vice president of the Ranching Heritage Association and retired CEO of Spade Ranches. “He was pure cowboy when ‘cowboy’ wasn’t cool. Who has done more to preserve the working cowboy way of life than Tom Moorhouse just by living it?”
From a young age, Moorhouse was immersed in the cowboy lifestyle, developing exceptional skills in horsemanship and cattle management. His dedication to the craft led him to work on several prominent Texas ranches, including the Tongue River Ranch and the 6666 Ranch. Moorhouse’s expertise in training and handling horses has earned him numerous accolades, notably being named All-Around Cowboy twice at the Texas Ranch Roundup in Wichita Falls, Texas. In 2005, Moorhouse was inducted into the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, a testament to his significant contributions to the ranching industry.
Beyond his personal achievements, Moorhouse has played a pivotal role in preserving and advancing ranching practices. Along-
side his family, he continues to operate the Moorhouse Ranch Company, maintaining cow/calf, farming, and stocker operations across West and Central Texas. His dedication to the land and livestock, coupled with his willingness to embrace progressive techniques, underscores his status as a respected leader in the ranching community.
Jeff Bilberry –
Western Division Honoree
Jeff Bilberry, a lifelong cowboy and respected leader in the ranching industry, will receive the prestigious Ranching Heritage Association Working Cowboy Award, representing the western division. A fourth-generation rancher whose legacy runs as deep as the roots of the land he stewards, Bilberry exemplifies the time-honored values of integrity, service, and a life spent horseback.
For more than 30 years, Bilberry has served as the general manager of the Bojax, Augua Verde and Lobo divisions of Singleton Ranches, one of the largest ranching operations in the nation, encompassing more than one million acres across New Mexico and California. Additionally, for the past eight years he has overseen three of the ranches in California. As Vice President of Singleton
Date: Saturday, March 14th, 2026
Ranches, he continues to work cattle from the saddle, sharing his experience with young cowboys and leading by example in every corner of the outfit.
“Although Jeff’s current responsibilities include ranch management, he still saddles up more often than not and continues to doctor cows, brand calves and do anything necessary to ride for the brand,” said Pat Boone, a New Mexico rancher.
His commitment to the ranching lifestyle is matched only by his dedication to community and faith. Bilberry has served as a Chaves County Commissioner, Elida School Board President, and held leadership roles with the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association and the New Mexico Agriculture Board.
“Jeff is a true servant to his ranch, community, his family, and most importantly, the Lord Almighty,” said Blaze Cogdell, a fellow rancher from the Tule Ranch.
Born into a family whose cowboy roots stretch back to an 1881 cattle drive to the legendary LFD Ranch, Bilberry carries that legacy with pride, perseverance, and humility. With his wife, Cheree, at his side, the Bilberries and their children continue the family tradition. Jeff Bilberry is living proof that the cowboy way of life is alive and well.
U.S. Southern Border Ports Shut Down Again
Due to Further Northward Spread of Screwworms in Mexico
Mexico’s National Service of Agro-Alimentary Health, Safety, and Quality (SENASICA) reported a new case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in Ixhuatlan de Madero, Veracruz in Mexico, which is approximately 160 miles northward of the current sterile fly dispersal grid, on the eastern side of the country and 370 miles south of the U.S./Mexico border. This new northward detection comes approximately two months after northern detections were reported in Oaxaca and Veracruz, less than 700 miles away from the U.S. border, which triggered the closure of our ports to Mexican cattle, bison, and horses on May 11, 2025.
While USDA announced a risk-based phased port re-opening strategy for cattle, bison, and equine from Mexico beginning as early as July 7, 2025, this newly reported NWS case raises significant concern about the previously reported information shared by Mexican officials and severely compromises the outlined port reopening schedule of five ports from July 7-September 15.
Therefore, in order to protect American livestock and our nation’s food supply, Secretary Brooke Rollins has ordered the closure of livestock trade through southern ports of entry effective immediately.
“The United States has promised to be vigilant — and after detecting this new NWS case, we are pausing the planned port reopenings to further quarantine and target this deadly pest in Mexico. We must see additional progress combatting NWS in Veracruz and other nearby Mexican states in order to reopen livestock ports along the Southern border,” said Secretary Rollins. “Thanks to the aggressive monitoring by USDA staff in the U.S. and in Mexico, we have been able to take quick and decisive action to respond to the spread of this deadly pest.”
To ensure the protection of U.S. livestock herds, USDA is holding Mexico accountable
by ensuring proactive measures are being taken to maintain a NWS free barrier. This is maintained with stringent animal movement controls, surveillance, trapping, and following the proven science to push the NWS barrier south in phases as quickly as possible.
USDA will continue to have personnel perform site visits throughout Mexico to ensure the Mexican government has adequate protocols and surveillance in place to combat this pest effectively and efficiently. ▫
MAKE YOUR CROSSBREEDING COUNT
How to Find an Agricultural Lawyer
by Tiffany Dowell Lashmet, J.D. 1; Dr. Jordan Shockley 2; and Casey Matzke 3
Prior to beginning a search for an agricultural lawyer, it is critical for the potential client to identify the specific issue with which they need legal assistance. There are some issues that may be common enough for most lawyers to handle, while other issues may require specialized knowledge or expertise.
For example, a producer may need to hire an attorney to review a lease agreement or a carbon-related contract, to represent them in a nuisance lawsuit, or to help them file required environmental or water permits. Likely, a producer might need different attorneys for these various concerns.
Unfortunately, there is no one-stop directory of all agricultural lawyers in the United States organized by location and practice area. Instead, there are a number of different
approaches a producer might take to find the right attorney to hire.
1. Word of mouth. Oftentimes, the best way to find an attorney is to ask other folks involved in the agricultural industry who they might recommend. This might mean asking for recommendations from other producers or landowners, talking to commodity groups within the state, contacting the local Extension office, or visiting nearby agribusinesses.
While not every attorney can handle every case, this might be an easy way to get the names of lawyers who have at least some experience with agricultural clients.
2. Professional organizations. There are some professional organizations that offer lists of attorneys. For example, the American Agricultural Law Association, a nationwide group of agricultural lawyers maintains a membership list organized by state.
3. State bar directories or local bar associations. Many state bar associations also offer searchable directories of attorneys licensed in the state. Some allow for searches based on geographic location within the state.
Some states may offer certain practice sections for agricultural law, water law, natural resources, etc. that would allow a person to narrow their search to lawyers specializing in a particular area. The National Agricultural Law Center has compiled a list of state bar directories for all 50 states. Similarly, some areas may have local bar associations that could be a good resource to find attorneys in the area.

New Mexico Territorial government did not make an auspicious start in its first decade from 1851 to 1861. The first four governors—James S. Calhoun, William Carr Lane, David Meriwether, and Abraham Rencher—faced formidable challenges and were obliged to function with few resources and little support from Washington. These
NM Government: Early Territorial Days
were men who had been successful in life before they reached New Mexico: two of them were lawyers, one a medical doctor, and one an army colonel. Among them they had held numerous elected offices at the local, state and national levels.
Problems with nomadic, and hostile, Indian tribes were at top of their lists. The fact that, with but a few periods of respite, Indian raiding, and counter-raiding, had
been going on since the Spanish arrived in the late 16th century didn’t make the matter less important to New Mexicans in the middle 19th century. Many American citizens, who had been Mexican Citizens only a few years before, favored American rule because they hoped that the newcomers would do a better job of dealing with the hostiles than had the Spanish and Mexican governments. They didn’t, of course. Conflict between civil and military leaders, who both believed they had the upper-hand in dealing with Indians, also created difficulties. While governors had more implied political power, military commanders controlled the most important commodity in the territory: money.
Political instability resulted in difficulties for early New Mexico territorial governors, too. During the tenures of the first four governors, four presidential administrations held office in Washington: Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan and Abraham Lincoln: a Whig, two Democrats and a Republican.
There was also unhappiness among those New Mexicans who favored statehood over territorial status. And too, there were those citizens who vehemently opposed any form of American rule, and they were not reluctant to make their feelings known.
Population characteristics were a problem, too. The 1850 census reported that New Mexico (which included what is now Arizona and part of southern Colorado) had a population of about 61,500. Historian Ralph Emerson Twitchell estimated that of that number, only about 1,000 were “American born.” It must be noted, too, that Indian population, not counted in the census, was estimated at about 7,000 Pueblo and Hopi people alone.
Many newcomers were Anglos who migrated from the east, or Texas, and their makeup was far from monolithic. Those who settled in the northern part of the territory, generally around Taos, Santa Fe and Albuquerque, were largely in New Mexico by way of Missouri. They opposed slavery and supported the Union. Those who settled in southern New Mexico, generally from the Mesilla Valley and west to Tucson, tended to be Texans, or otherwise southerners, who

supported slavery and what would become the Confederacy only a few years later.
Appointed by President Millard Fillmore, James Calhoun (1802-1852) was the first governor of the New Mexico Territory. A native of Columbus, Georgia, he took office on March 3, 1851. He served as mayor of his hometown in the late 1830s and in the Georgia state senate at the same time. He also served as U. S. Consul to Cuba before he rose to the rank of U. S. Army Colonel in the Mexican War. He arrived in New Mexico in 1849, appointed Superintendent of Indian Affairs by President Zachary Taylor. His real purpose was to work toward New Mexico statehood, which President Taylor favored. With the Compromise of 1850, however, and
President Taylor dead, New Mexico became a territory of the United States.
Calhoun’s troubles began almost immediately. They are probably best expressed in a letter written by John Greiner, New Mexico’s first territorial secretary:
“Everybody and everything in this … country appears at cross purposes. In the first place the civil and military authorities are at war. Colonel [Edwin Vose] Sumner refuses to acknowledge the right of the Governor to send Indian agents with him to the Indian country—and will not afford the proper facilities for them to go—and the governor refuses to send them. The governor and secretary [secretary was the second ranking official in territorial government] of the Territory cannot hitch horses. The American residents are at war with the governor, while the Mexican population sides with
him. Even the missionaries are at logger-heads. The Baptist preacher… is at war with the Methodist, …and ‘wice-wersa.’ [sic]”
The arrival in New Mexico of Catholic Bishop Jean Baptiste Lamy in 1851 further confused matters within the political power structure as well as in the religious community. Lamy was French and did not approve of “Mexican” priests.
And within that environment, Calhoun was obliged to operate a government with no money in the territorial coffers. After six months in the office, he wrote to Washington:
“Without a dollar in our territorial treasury, without munitions of war, without authority to call out our militia, without the cooperation of the military authorities of this territory, and with numberless complaints and calls for protection, do you not
perceive I must be sadly embarrassed and disquieted?”
Another example of Calhoun’s dilemma is found in a report he received in March 1852 from Tomas Ortiz, Probate Judge; John G. Jones, U. S. Marshal; and R. M. Stephens, Sheriff of Santa Fe County. It noted that more than a dozen men were in the custody of the Santa Fe Jail and the county was without the means of feeding them. It concluded thus:
“We the undersigned would respectfully lay these facts before his Excellency the Governor of this Territory and solicit his ‘interference’ [sic] on behalf of these prisoners, or the poor ‘wretches’ [sic] must inevitably die or rot in jail.”
The governor did the only thing he could: he pardoned the prisoners and exiled them
from the territory for one year.
Calhoun’s health was failing by the time he took that action. He knew he was seriously ill from jaundice and scurvy. He left Santa Fe only five weeks later telling his associates that he hoped he could make it back to Georgia before he died but he carried his own coffin along on the trip just in case he didn’t. He died on July 2, 1852, along the Santa Fe Trail near Independence, Missouri.

The Eyes Have It
When pinkeye raged through my kindergarten class we all looked like a bunch of crybabies who’d been ballin’ our eyes out because our class hamster, Hieronymus, died of suspicious causes. Mothers back then were pulling their kids out of class faster than an Arizona roadrunner with its tail-feathers on fire and pretty soon the weepy-eyed teacher and I were the only ones who showed up for school. So I know what the pinkeye calves are experiencing right now in my neck of the woods.
We had a weird year of rainfall. We didn’t get very much but what we did get was timed perfectly so now the rye grass is as tall as I’ve ever seen it and the seeds and chaff are eyehigh to the calves. The face flies are also thicker than bedbugs in a bunkhouse so I’m starting to see little white spots in my eyes everywhere I look.
I’ve tried everything in the book to rid my herd of the peeper-problem from buying goggle-eyed Hereford bulls to actually injecting milk into a calf’s eye according to the theory that the antibody police would rush to the scene of the crime. This last solution was recommended to me by an old cowboy and his idea seemed to work but I always got a little squeamish performing the procedure. I’ve used dust bags, pour-ons, fly control, vaccines, etc. but the only thing that worked 100 percent of the time was to catch the pinkeye early, dust the calves eyes with magic powders from my vet and then cover the eye with a Levi or Wrangler patch.
I glued the eye patches on with the backtag glue they use at auction markets. I’m sure you’ve seen 20 or 30 head enter an auction ring and a savvy buyer will indicate that he wants one head taken off, usually because he spotted a calf with a little round spot of white in its eye. In that case the female clerk, (it’s always a female) who is writing down the price and the buyer as she counts the number of head in the ring while also checking for a
bad eye, will reach for a back tag, put a glomp of glue on the back which gives it weight for better aerodynamics and then she’ll throw it 20 feet and it will land squarely on the right calf’s back where it will stay for 100 years.
I’ve seen plenty of yearlings headed for the feedlot with a big circle of dried up glue around one or both eyes long after the patch has rotted away dooming the cattle to buyer’s scorn and a lower price. The worst case I ever saw was a pen of stockers that had been on carrots, as is custom in my part of the world. Besides giving them an orange butt 50 percent of those calves had the distinctive circle of glue around one or both eyes. So much for the theory that carrots are good for your eyesight.
Another problem with patches is that some men and women are such good cattle persons that they don’t use up all their old jeans making patches while others, like myself, have a big problem because my wife will only buy me two pair of Wranglers per year which doesn’t come close to meeting my herd’s pinkeye needs. This is a dead giveaway when comparing yourself to your fellow cattlemen. If they are wearing new, or nearly new jeans to work cows or build fence it means they have a pinkeye problem and are trying to catch up by having to buy way more jeans per year that they can hardly afford.
In my research I’ve found that a good cattlemen should wear out two pair of jeans per year for every 100 cows he or she owns. This is what I famously named the “jeansto-pinkeye ratio”. Wrangler and Levis could save as all a fortune if they’d just come out with a new product... fairly priced packages of pinkeye patches that don’t leave any residue. But they probably won’t because they’d probably sell a lot fewer jeans as a result.
I’m currently attempting to get a million dollar grant from either Wrangler or Levis in order to do further research to determine which brand of jeans works better than the other.
Shirley Ann Scott Goodloe, 90, went to be with her Lord May 5, 2025. Born September 26, 1934, in Buna, Texas, to Archie and Fairy Scott, Shirley grew up helping her Grandfather, Hardy Richardson, who ran cattle on 3,000 acres near the Neches River.
A devoted Christian, her faith in Jesus shone through her warm, accepting love for all she knew. She had a radiant smile and sparkling eyes that never faded. Graduating from Buna High School in 1952, she married Sid Goodloe, a Texas A&M graduate and they both pursued their dream of owning and working together on a ranch, raising five children: Floyd, Cindy, Jim, Sherry and Sidney.
The family moved to Kenya where Sid was a range management consultant in 1966. During the two years there, they had plenty of great adventures, going on safaris and traveling through parts of Africa. Rancher and westerner at heart, Shirley was sure happy to get back home.
She enriched her community through CowBelles, Smokey Bear Stampede and Lincoln County Fair, always enjoying all the ranchers and residents. She loved the western way of life, generally seen with that ever-present smile, Persian Melon lipstick, bright western clothes, and a good lookin’ hat.
Renowned for her beauty, southern cookin’, hospitality, and knowledge of ranching; she also served as Lincoln County Treasurer for two terms. She loved her family deeply and each of them admired her and would seek her wisdom often.
Shirley was preceded in death by her parents, sister Dorabelle Damuth, son Jim, daughter in law Connie, and former husband Sid. Four children, their spouses, 14 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, a nephew, three half-sisters and many beloved relatives, survive Shirley.
A small graveside service was held May 19, 2025, at Roswell South Park Cemetery.
A Celebration of her life was held June 21 at 2p.m. at Angus Church, Alto.

Ruby “Nell” Hardin, 90, Arch, passed away on July 7, 2025 in Portales, NM.
Ruby Nell was born March 27, 1935 in Big Spring, Texas to the home of Beaulah Mae (Smith) and Walter Looper Burns. She and her family moved to Arch in 1949. While living here, she became acquainted with R. B. Hardin. The family moved back to Big Spring a year later, and Mr. Hardin went down to tell her father that he wanted to marry her. Her father said she couldn’t marry until she was 15. So, as soon as she had her birthday, they came back to Portales and were married on April 8, 1950. Over the years, they moved back and forth between Big Spring and Portales, but in 1959, they moved to Arch for the final time.
Mrs. Hardin worked alongside her husband raising peanuts and cattle. In addition, she always had a huge garden, raising and canning a variety of vegetables including black-eyed peas, okra, and corn among other things. She also was a quilter, and had won numerous ribbons for her canned goods and quilts at the county fair. Nell also made shirts for her four sons, and sewed different colored threads in their white socks to designate who they belonged to.
Mrs. Hardin was a faithful member of the Arch Baptist Church where she took an active part in the life of the congregation and sang in the choir. In later years, she was privileged to travel with her daughter-in-law to various places including Alaska.
She is survived by her four sons and daughters-in-law, Wayne and Carol Hardin of Lubbock, Bo and Kim Hardin of Clovis, Donny and Brenda Hardin of Arch and
Richard and Janice Hardin of Portales. There are 21 grandchildren, 47 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great-grandchildren; and a sister, Louise Baker, San Antonio, Texas.
Mattie Marguerite Vensel, 75, Safford, Arizona passed away in Tucson on July 2, following a short illness. Marguerite was born to Bill and Cordy Cowan in Douglas, Arizona on February 8, 1950.

She first attended the then small McNeal Elementary School and then went to Douglas High School where she graduated.
Marguerite grew up with the family showing horses and rodeoing. She was an avid and a darn good roper. Over the years she worked with and managed cattle on the ranches, including the first Brahman cattle brought to the Southwest. She was a great cowboy and often day-worked or helped the neighbors with their cattle work.
She had a knack for caring for people, including her parents, and then many other aging folks who needed care. In 2009 Marguerite moved to Albuquerque where she went to work as office manager for the New Mexico Stockman magazine and the Livestock Market Digest. In 2020 she moved to Safford to be closer to family.
Marguerite is survived by her daughter Dess and son Bill, along with four grandchildren, Alexys, Garrett, Madelyn and Deven Vensel. She is also survived by sisters Ruth Evelyn Cowan and Flossie Holly, niece Trisha Steiner and nephew Michael Wright.
Per her wishes she has been cremated. The family is planning a celebration of life in Animas in the Fall.

USDA Rolls Back Overly Burdensome Environmental Regulations
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced on June 30 that the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is revising National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations to reduce unnecessary red tape that is killing jobs and raising prices for Americans.
This reform allows the Department to efficiently deliver the critical services and funds America’s ranchers, farmers, loggers, and rural communities rely on and corrects the harms caused by decades of unnecessarily lengthy, cumbersome NEPA reviews.
CO. LLC
“President Trump is reforming government to be more responsive to the needs of the American people. We have been hamstrung by overly burdensome regulations for decades. USDA is updating and modernizing NEPA so projects critical to the health of our forests and prosperity of rural America are not stymied and delayed for years. So many beneficial and common-sense infrastructure and energy projects have been stymied and delayed in litigation and endless reviews. Overregulation has morphed the NEPA process into bureaucratic overreach on American innovation,” said Secretary Rollins.
USDA is making common sense reforms to ensure the NEPA process does not cause unnecessary delays or stands in the way of American free enterprise. This move institutes reasonable considerations for environmental impacts and streamlines operations.
USDA is issuing one set of department-wide NEPA regulations by rescinding seven agency-specific regulations, resulting in a 66 percent reduction in regulations. This will allow USDA officials to concentrate resources on projects the public needs while also ensuring we honor the Department’s legacy of land stewardship.
The move by USDA comes in response to President Trump’s executive order on Unleashing American Energy that led to the Council on Environmental Quality’s rescinding its NEPA implementing regulations, which created a pathway for USDA to reform its own NEPA regulations. ▫

The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish is proud to announce that Sgt. Stephen Apodaca has been selected as the 2024 Shikar Safari Officer of the Year.
This distinguished award is presented annually to only one conservation officer from each U.S. state and Canadian province,
recognizing outstanding service in wildlife law enforcement, conservation and public outreach.
Sgt. Apodaca, who has served as a conservation officer since Feb. 14, 2015, becomes the 56th New Mexico recipient of the Shikar Safari award since its inception in 1968 and is one of only 10 current Department officers to have earned this prestigious honor. cutline: New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Northeast Area Capt. Ty Jackson and Las Vegas Supervisory District Sgt. Stephen Apodaca, who was named the 2024 recipient of the Shikar Safari Officer of the Year Award.
“Sgt. Apodaca’s outstanding work as an
officer, leader and mentor makes him an excellent recipient of this prestigious award,” Col. Tim Cimbal said.
Assigned to the Las Vegas Supervisory District for his entire career, Sgt. Apodaca has advanced through the ranks — serving as a District Officer, Corporal and now Sergeant for the past two and a half years. He currently supervises four officers covering the Pecos, Las Vegas and Mora areas, including Game Management Units 42, 43, 45, 46 and 47 across San Miguel and Mora counties and parts of Santa Fe and Torrance counties.
Known for his professionalism, leadership and unwavering dedication to wildlife protection, Sgt. Apodaca has built a district that leads the Northeast Area in productivity, officer collaboration and community engagement. In 2024, he issued many Game and Fish citations to wildlife law violators, responded to numerous depredation complaints and led investigations that resulted in felony wildlife charges against repeat offenders.

“Sgt. Apodaca embodies the work ethic, determination, knowledge and leadership all officers should strive for,” Capt. Ty Jackson said. “He’s built a model district where officers thrive — and his commitment to leading from the front is unmatched.”
In addition to his field achievements, Sgt. Apodaca serves as the Northeast Area’s only certified Defensive Tactics instructor and provides training across the region. He’s a Chapter 17 law instructor for recruit school, a graduate of the Wildlife Investigators Covert Academy, the NACLEC Leadership Course and the Fur Takers of America Trapper’s College. His trapping expertise has resolved countless wildlife conflicts and is passed on to officers under his mentorship.
“Sgt. Apodaca is someone officers can look up to in this career,” Cpl. Jonathan Garofalo said. “He’s reliable, driven and always willing to assist his team — whether it’s responding to a major case or helping develop the next generation of officers.”
The Shikar Safari Club International has presented this award annually since 1968 to recognize the nation’s most dedicated wildlife officers.

Riots & Black Gas!
Just imagine getting up in the morning, walking down to the loading area, get on the bus for a ride to whichever riot you are working today.
You also get food and drink with your protest job. Then you get a paycheck when you get home.
I asked one rioter if they got more money if they clashed with police or the National Guard. I don’t think he realized that he might pull a larger paycheck rioting against the feds than just the local police.
The other thing that I was curious about is whether you got more money if you were thrown in jail. Funny, but rioters are quite reluctant to speak of their actual incomes.
I just figure since their actions are in the public eye, why isn’t their financial disclosure. What category do you include in your tax forms at the end of the year?
Professional “rioter” must be a recognized profession by now. The other thing that baffles me is where do you practice?
Do you stand on the roof of your family car and wave a Mexican flag in your backyard for the two weeks leading up to the riot?
Do you have to have a diminished IQ to become a professional rioter? I wonder what the low-ball limit is on that.
Something else that occurred to me is, do you get to deduct riot gear the way a policeman could deduct his anti-riot gear?
I have tried interviewing these people and the consensus is, I don’t think half of them have any idea why they are rioting. At least they don’t admit that they don’t know.
Then ask them what they will accomplish by rioting, and they have no clue on the answer to that one. It is obvious that these people are not taxpayers or they would not be burning up police cars that a taxpayer would have to replace.
Of course, the question that diminishes all others is, if Mexico is so great then what are you doing here in the first place? It is obvious that Mexico’s President Sheinbaum is scared to death of the cartels and wants to make sure that they stay in power.
That became obvious when she refused President Trump’s help to take them out. If you are sitting home feeling sorry for the rioters, then you need to re-examine your life.
Last, but not least the American Angus Association(AAA) applied for and was granted a 4.85-million-dollar grant from the Bezos Foundation to study the effects of
methane gas from cattle.
Now the leadership of a major cattle organization is happy to take money from the very people that are trying to destroy the cattle business. Who elected the fools to run that organization?
I hope they remove the leadership. We know the beef industry embraces this completely woke BS, but now the cattle industry as well? I do see that the membership of the Association did get up a petition to give the money back.
Let’s wait and see where this goes. It is obvious that currently, the small rancher and farmer are inconsequential when it comes to agri-business. Incidentally, I wonder if the Angus folks were going to study just black cattle or all colors?
Probably their intention was to eliminate all other colors from the cattle industry. I am sure that they were out to prove that “black gas” was cleaner.
These people have truly lost their minds. Maybe the head of the AAA thought it would look good on his resume to point out that he brought in a large sum to the people that employ him.
It is clear to me that people have gotten so greedy they have forgotten about doing what is right. It is sickening to think that people in our industry do not have what it takes to stand up to a carrot being dangled in front of them. ▫

K-State Researchers Developing Index to Measure Cattle Pain, Stress Using Consumption Rate
By Joe Montgomer, College of Veterinary Medicine Communications Marketing and Communications
How much can you tell about a cow’s health by the way and rate at which it eats? A team of researchers in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University is developing a way to tie that rate to cattle health.
Hans Coetzee, currently the interim vice president of research at Kansas State University, is a well-established researcher in the fields of pain relief and animal welfare. He and Eduarda Bortoluzzi, assistant professor of animal welfare, are leading a project titled, “Validation of a novel Bovine Rate of Consumption Index (BROCI) to assess pain and thermal stress in cattle.”
The project was listed as one of 37 projects being funded from a $17.6 million total investment by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) to advance agricultural research that protects the health and welfare of agricultural animals, with $4.8 million dedicated for 10 projects, including Coetzee’s, funded through Agriculture and Food Research Initiative’s “Welfare of Agricultural Animals” program.
“Protecting the health and welfare of agricultural animals is integral to ensuring a safe, sustainable, resilient and ethically sound food system,” said NIFA Director Manjit Misra. “Healthy livestock are more productive and less likely to harbor and spread diseases that can affect humans. In addition, properly managed livestock systems help maintain biodiversity and sustainable land use.”
The AFRI Diseases of Agricultural Animals program focuses on maintaining healthy agricultural animals to ensure a safe and adequate food supply. The program supports research in whole-animal health, including disease prevention and control.
The K-State team’s project uses a rancher-developed, precision feed intake measuring system to validate a Bovine Rate of Consumption Index, or BROCI, as an objective measure of animal welfare.
SANTA TERESA, NM
So far, the researchers have noted that high environmental temperatures are associated with reductions in feed intake, milk yield, weight gain and fertility and an increase in cases of lameness.
“We believe BROCI can be accurately measured and correlated with painful and heat stress events,” Coetzee said. “Then it can be validated to support on-farm animal welfare assessment and used as evidence to support the development of heat reduction strategies and pain management protocols.”
The project is part of a unique collaboration with Irvine Ranch, a cattle producer located in Manhattan.
“Irvine Ranch has been developing and utilizing our patented Bovabytes system for the improvement of beef genetics for several years,” said John and Bernard Irvine. “We are excited to partner with Dr. Hans Coetzee and his exceptional staff at Kansas State University in this study and to utilize our technology for the advancement of the broader livestock industry.”
Coetzee said the project will be conducted with three specific objectives. The first objective will be to optimize and validate BROCI and related feeding behaviors as an objective measure of acute pain and analgesic drug efficacy after surgical castration.
The second objective will be to then compare the impact of surgical and non-surgical castration, novel anesthetic-impregnated tension bands, and a unique long-acting systemic pain-relief drug on BROCI.
Third, the researchers will look to optimize and validate the consumption index to assess the effect of heat stress events on beef calf welfare.
Altogether, the project will address the urgent need for innovative, automated and noninvasive methods to assess how cattle are coping with pain and thermal stress, Coetzee said.

Heads Up
The
The “sky is falling” said Chicken Little along with many other environmental and conservation groups about President Trump’s Executive Order on “Unleashing American Energy”, Senator Lee’s proposal to sell Federal Land, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal counsel opinion concerning changing the size or abolishing National Monuments and many other policy changes since January 2025. It is foolish of me to try and predict what will happen with these cries of despair and anguish, but I will try and put another perspective and a little common sense into the discussion by New Mexicans and others.
One of the scare tactics that the Non-Government Organizations (NGO) use to actively motivate fund-raising is that the federal lands near where you live will be exploited for oil and gas resources and mining of minerals etc. In New Mexico, that vision is water and air pollution, large open pit copper mines, drill-
ing rigs and major land tracts sold to rich outsiders for homes.
I reviewed the Draft of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Tri County Resource Management Plan (RMP) that is out for public review and to be finalized February 28, 2026. It includes sections for oil and gas discovery, minerals, and land recommended for disposal either by sale or trade.
The RMP’s preferred alternative B has designated a total of 38,273 acres for disposal in Sierra, Otero and Dona Ana Counties. This does not mean that they will be sold, however, they do not meet the goals and objectives of land management for BLM. These lands have been identified since the beginning of the RMP process in 2005 and only 759.18 acres have been sold. Some of the lands were identified as early as 1982 for disposal. There are 9.4 million acres in the RMP land use plan.
The concern that the Organ Mountain Desert Peaks National Monument’s (OMDPNM) size would be reduced for oil and gas development is very small. The RPM reports “As of 2017, no significant new accumulations of hydrocarbon have been discovered within the planning area and no major oil and gas activity is expected in the time frame of 2015-2035, there are no active gas wells in the OMDPNM area and no coal bed potential for mining”.
The Department of Justice’s Opinion has clarified that the President has the power to
alter or eliminate a national monument designated under the Antiquities Act. There are currently 136 national monuments, of which 31, were designated by Congress and 89 designated by Presidents. Since 1906, national monuments have diminished in size 19 times by presidents and once by Congress. National Monuments have increased in size 72 times by Presidents through the Antiquities Act. Another 78 national monuments were reincorporated into other parks or otherwise lost the national monument status.
Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, announced at the Governors’ Conference in New Mexico that she intends to repeal the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule that prohibits new or reconstruction of roads on U.S. Forest Service land. This rule has limited wildfire suppression and timber harvesting nationally on approximately 60 million acres.
In New Mexico that amounts to 1.6 million acres or 17 percent of the 9.3 million acres under US Forest Service management. These lands have been managed as de facto wilderness since 2001, which limits what management actions can occur. In my estimation this does not comply with the will of Congress “to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of the national forests and grasslands.
Until next time, keep your eyes on the horizon, as these are interesting times and changes are occurring daily. ▫

Roy Cooper Named to New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2024
By New Mexico Sun
The New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame has announced the induction of Roy Cooper into its Class of 2024.
Born in Hobbs, New Mexico, on November 13, 1955, Roy Cooper overcame severe childhood asthma to begin practicing roping by the time he entered high school. According to the ProRodeo Hall of Fame, he earned
the nickname “Super Looper” due to his exceptional calf-roping skills and became the first Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) cowboy to exceed $2 million in career earnings. He also captured the PRCA Rookie of the Year and his first world tie-down roping title in 1976.
As per the National Cowboy Museum, throughout his 37-season career, Cooper amassed eight PRCA world championships— six in tie-down roping (1976, 1980–84), one steer roping (1983), and the all-around world title in 1983, achieving rodeo’s Triple Crown that year. The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum notes he made 19 tiedown and 13 steer roping appearances at the National Finals Rodeo and was the first PRCA cowboy to break the $2-million earnings mark in 2000.
The National Cowboy Museum also found that in 1992, after recovering from a serious car accident, Cooper returned to win the Texas Circuit calf roping championship. According to their biography, he continued competing into the mid-1990s, ranking in the PRCA top 15 and notably finishing fifth in calf roping in 1995.
Cooper was inducted into multiple halls of fame: as part of the inaugural ProRodeo Hall of Fame class in 1979 (tie-down category), the National Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1983, the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame in 2008, the Lea County Sports Hall of Fame in 2009, and the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame in 2014. ▫

The 4th of July has come and gone. A century ago, it was the most celebrated holiday, beating out Christmas. Perhaps our freedom was still new to many. Parades, games, gatherings in towns all had festivities. Today it often involves rodeos, car shows, town fireworks, and concerts.
For me, it is childhood memories of the ranch, bare feet, watermelon dripping off my chin and family and friends all together sitting in the shade come to mind. Men in straw hats pushed off their white untanned foreheads sharing stories and news, women in shorts or dresses laying tablecloths down before setting the bounty of food out. Everyone contributed, from wonderful in-season vegetables and fruits, along with home grown mouthwatering meat often grilled or smoked, anything from burgers to brisket to steaks. Every kind of salad or covered dish was likely to be there. The desserts often consisted of fresh berry pies or cobblers, cool lemon pies and wonderful cakes and
puddings.
When dusk was approaching the kids’ fireworks were handed out. Sparklers and small “snakes” that writhed on the ground when lit. If we were lucky that year, the men went to meadows or irrigated ground and set off larger fireworks to fill the quiet skies.
The 4th of July, Independence Day, was and still is, a very important holiday for most ranch folks. We may have to work cattle, but we usually reserve the evening at least, for celebrating. A friend in southeastern New Mexico holds a wonderful celebration, providing smoked beef and other wonderful food while every family brings a side. He and his family graciously share their love of freedom and independence. A large cross sits on the hill above the river bottom, visible for miles. At dusk, families sit on the blankets and chairs they brought overlooking the meadow below. Fireworks begin to light the sky, rivaling those of the towns in the area. The colors explode and fall gracefully in front of the white cross, highlighting what is most important to many of the people there.
We have so much to be grateful for, and as stewards of the land and livestock we particularly treasure and honor our independence and freedoms. It seems it is harder than ever to hang on to those values and principles, but we continue the fight. We must protect those God given rights. We still
salute our flag and many have tears as they watch our flag and sing our anthem. Our love for our country runs deep.

Exploring New Mexico Agriculture with NMBC & NMCGA
On May 13th, the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association (NMCGA) and the New Mexico Beef Council (NMBC) hosted a Spring Agriculture Tour, offering influencers, dietitians, elected and prospective elected officials an immersive look at cattle operations and best practices. The event took guests from Casa Rondeña Winery in Albuquerque to Bill King Ranch in Stanley, New Mexico, where they engaged with experts on branding methods, livestock identification, and artificial insemination (AI) for genetic improvement and herd management. Future Farmers of America (FFA) students provided hands-on demonstrations, including a Parli-Pro showcase. Additionally, attendees participated in discussions on cattle health, disease prevention, and industry challenges like cattle rustling. Over a ranchprepared tri-tip lunch, speakers from the New Mexico Livestock Board (NMLB) emphasized their mission to protect livestock integrity statewide. The day concluded with a wine tour and beef dinner at Casa Rondeña, celebrating the agricultural community and the integral role of New Mexico’s cattle industry.
Boots and Baseball
The New Mexico Beef Council, NMBC, joined the New Mexico Farm & Livestock, NMF&LB, and several other New Mexico agricultural organizations for Country Night at the Albuquerque Isotopes baseball game on May 30 . The first 3,000 fans received a cowbell, courtesy of NMF&LB, and the NMBC had a booth featuring a burger name game, free beef recipe books, fun stickers, bags for kids, and distributed 2,500 beef jerky samples.
Life Behind the Fence Photo Contest Winner
There are many jobs on branding day. Dragging, giving vaccines, ear notching, branding, and for me, it is documenting the life I love. Hello, I am Kayla Lee, and I am a natural light landscape and action photographer. I have had reins and a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember. I grew up or worked on various ranches all over New Mexico. From Willow Springs in San Antonio, a small ranch in Mayhill, the Singletons in Elida, to Quay Valley. I have had the privilege of being surrounded by beef production. My dad and mama, Chris Hammack and the late Katie Hammack, ensured that my sisters and I developed a profound love and appreciation for the cowboy lifestyle. Dad taught me how to train horses and read the movement and behaviors of cattle, mama taught me how to take photos of the things I found beautiful and how to find my voice in the agriculture industry. Between the two, my branding photography was born. I spend less time horseback now and more time behind the lens, but I try to accurately document the beautiful side of beef production and the incredible families that feed our nation.
I am the proud wife of Garrett Lee and the mother of two ornery girls, Tessa and McKenzi. Garrett and I are both Agriculture educators. He is the lead agriculture teacher for Clovis High School, and I teach agriculture at Portales Junior High School. Educating future agriculturists is my passion. Between my time in the classroom and my time in a branding pen, I strive to educate others about this life that is as remarkable as it is difficult. It takes grit and faith to choose a life in beef production, and I am fortunate enough to come from many generations that have gladly accepted this challenge.
As long as I am able, I will continue documenting life through the fence

DOJ Targets California’s Prop 12 In New Legal Challenge Regarding Egg Prices
by Chris Moore, meatingplace.com
Just days after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to California’s Proposition 12, the Department of Justice took aim at the law in a new lawsuit, arguing it violates federal authority over egg regulation and has raised food prices nationwide.
Southwest Livestock Auction
Filed in federal court, the DOJ’s civil suit seeks to invalidate and block enforcement of several California laws regulating egg production, including Proposition 12, which was approved by voters in 2018 and implemented in 2024. The law requires pork, veal and eggs sold in the state to meet specific animal housing standards, even if the products are produced elsewhere.
While recent court decisions, including the high court’s refusal to take up the Iowa Pork Producers Association’s Prop 12 appeal, have upheld the law’s constitutionality under the Commerce Clause, the DOJ is approaching the issue from a different angle. The new lawsuit focuses on egg-related provisions, arguing that California’s requirements are preempted by the federal Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA), which grants the USDA exclusive authority to regulate the quality, labeling and packaging of eggs in interstate commerce.
According to the DOJ, California’s restrictions, including cage-free mandates and labeling requirements, impose standards that conflict with federal law and “effectively prevent farmers across the country from using common production methods,” contributing to what it calls a “historic cost-of-living crisis.”
The complaint cites the EPIA’s express preemption of state standards that differ from federal rules, calling California’s law an unconstitutional attempt to regulate outof-state egg production and drive up prices for consumers. It also notes that state officials have admitted Proposition 12’s animal housing rules are not based on peer-reviewed science or food safety evidence.
The DOJ is seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to halt enforcement of the egg-related standards.
In a statement to Meatingplace, National Pork Producers Council CEO Bryan Humphreys said NPPC appreciates the Trump administration’s efforts.
“Tackling high food prices, especially for animal protein that nourishes healthy American diets, is essential to making America healthy again,” he said. “Similar to the impact on eggs that this lawsuit seeks to address, Prop. 12 has resulted in grocery store prices for pork in California skyrocketing, with the price of some essential cuts rising over 40 percent since Prop. 12 took effect. NPPC will continue to encourage lawmakers to provide a federal solution for the imminent patchwork of conflicting state laws – not only for the sake of certainty for American pork producers but for lowering food prices as well.” ▫

“Mr.
SANDHILL SHERIFFS AND SHOTGUN DIPLOMACY
Wright Ain’t Wrong”
The Sandhills Sheriff, Part II
Now it was some years down the trail from when Sheriff Leonard hung up his spurs and took to fishin’ more than fightin’. The town had settled, the cattle had doubled, and folks figured the wild days were behind ‘em. That’s when the new marshal rode in: Tommy Wright
Five-foot-nothin’, quiet as a calf in church, and looked about as mean as a biscuit.
He was the sorta feller who’d tip his hat to a fence post and apologize if he bumped your horse.
Polite? Lord, yes. Tough? Well, that’s where the laughin’ started.
Over at Vawfuer’s Bar one Saturday night, after the beer had flowed and the bulls had been ridden (mostly in the stories), the boys got to jawin’.
“Tommy Wright?” one fella cackled. “That boy couldn’t stop a tumbleweed with a two-by-four!”
Another added, “He’s got the build of a fence rail and the bark of a puppy in a rainstorm!”
They laughed so hard, even the poker table stopped dealin’.
But then a ranch hand from out Newport way—name lost to time but memory sharp
as a branding iron—stood up and eased his beer down like he was layin’ flowers on a grave.
“You fellas might wanna quit your chucklin’. Round our parts, we call him Mr. Wright… and not ‘cause he’s friendly.”
He told the tale like he was unspooling barbwire—slow, steady, and with a point at the end.
See, them Newport boys, bored and whiskey-bold, decided to cook up a fake bar brawl.
Just to see if the new marshal had anything behind that quiet smile and Sunday manners.
So they staged it—chairs flyin’, fists swingin’, someone yellin’ about somebody’s sister.
A runner got sent lickety-split:
“GO GET TOMMY!” he hollered, mid-chaos.
Well, he ran out the front, but Tommy? He came in the back.
Slid through the shadows like a bobcat in moonlight.
And then— BOOM!
Shotgun blast lit up the saloon like Judgment Day in a lightning storm.
Blew the chandelier clean off the ceiling— down it crashed like the wrath of Moses, wagon wheel and all.
“Next shot comes belly high!” Tommy barked, voice like gravel and thunder had a baby.
“Everybody against the bar!”
One cowboy dove so hard he skinned both knees and screamed,
“DON’T SHOOT! I’M TOO YOUNG TO BE LAWFUL!”
Tommy walked in, cool as an ice cube in a branding bucket, and said, “You on the end—take your hat off. Pass it down.”
“Twenty bucks a man for disturbin’ the peace.”
“Fifty for the two of you dumb enough to be swingin’.”
“And if you can’t pay… go stand by the door. We’re takin’ a walk to the jail.”
Nobody argued.
Nobody blinked.
And nobody ever called him “little Tommy” again.
So if you’re ever out in the Sandhills, gettin’ rowdy and feelin’ froggy, just remember —
Sometimes the smallest dog has the sharpest teeth, and the quietest lawman might just be the storm you didn’t see comin’.
They still call him Mr. Wright. And they say he never raised his voice… twice. ▫

Rodeo Roundup
Faulkner’s youngsters have all graduated from high school and are off on new adventures. Julie Carter has graciously accepted the new Arena assignment.
Another rodeo year (2024-25) for the high school and junior high competitors in our great cowboy state has funneled down to memories of the State Finals and those that qualified for their respective National Finals.
Major hat tip and kudos to Sage Faulkner for keeping up with all the rodeos and results the past few years for the Stockman. As her kids are all “aged out” of High School rodeo, she has taken a much needed step aside to pursue other things. It is no small task. I agreed to humbly attempt to fill her boots and monthly bring to you New Mexico HS/ JH rodeo news and results along with some photos to give life to all the work that happens with these great kids.
By the time you read this, the JH National Finals (June 22-28) will be over and the dust settling behind the trailers headed home from Des Moines, IA. See JH Nationals recap in the August issue of the NM Stockman
The HS National Finals are again in Rock Springs, WY July 13-19. New Mexico sends the Year End top four contestants in each event, and often that changes in the last run at the State Finals as well as some hard-working competitors missing out by one point in the final tally. There’s always a proverbial “knife fight” for the title and top four positions right down to the final tally. Just know that our state is well represented by fine competitors and their families that make sure it all happens.
You can follow results for both JH and HS National Finals at their website: nhsra.com
They know their Chinese features stand out a little among the rodeo cowboys here in New Mexico, but there is more to their “unusual” than meets the eye. Ivor and Trigg Rathjen were adopted at 19 months out of China.
Their story is one of overcoming the odds and landing in the Southwest where they joined some ready made siblings and their parents Misty and Clay Rathjen. They are “mirrored” twins, identical but Trig is lefthanded, Ivor is right-handed. Because both had different birth defects, they had been separated early, but brought back together.
“They had their own language,” Misty recalled. “Not Mandarin, but a language unique to them.” Today they are still inseparable, share a room, do everything together including finishing each other’s sentences.
Thye rope, play basketball and baseball.
Trigg likes math, Ivor likes social studies.s ▫

Ruidoso Downs Moves Stakes Races to Albuquerque Downs
The Ruidoso Downs Race Track will run the 2025 All American Futurity, Derby and Oaks at Albuquerque Downs on Labor Day again this year, track owner Johnny Trotter has announced.
“Under our current circumstances we are grateful to Albuquerque Downs owner Paul Blanchard that he has graciously offered to host the All American again,” Trotter said. “The recent events are unfortunate for everyone associated with Ruidoso Downs, but we are happy to announce that our signature race will have the opportunity to move forward this year.”
It marks the second straight year that the All American races have been moved from their home at Ruidoso Downs. The race track and property suffered significant damage from the flooding event that occurred on July 8th which has made the current racing season impossible to continue.
“After having met with Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, we remain confident that we will be horse racing again at Ruidoso Downs in 2026,” Trotter said.
“We have been assured that corrective measures will be taken by the state of New Mexico to improve flood control. However, we did need to make an immediate decision about this year’s All American on behalf of our horse owners and trainers and that is what we are announcing today.”
Trials for the $3 million All American Futurity for two-year-olds at 440-yards will be held Monday and Tuesday, August 4th and 5th. Trials for the $750,000 (est.) All American Derby and $500,000 (est.) All American Oaks for three-year-olds at 440yards will be Wednesday, August 6th. The fastest times in those trial races will advance to the finals on Labor Day, Sept. 1 at Albuquerque Downs.
Along with a full race card, there will be five stakes races on Labor Day including: All American Futurity, All American Derby, All American Oaks, All American Invitational and All American Juvenile.
Meanwhile, Ruidoso Downs will continue to host the two major horse sales including the New Mexico Breed Sale on August 8th and 9th, and the All American Select Sale August 29th and 30th at the
Ruidoso Downs Sales Pavilion.
The Casey Donahew concert scheduled for Saturday, July 26th will continue at Ruidoso Downs Race Track as scheduled. The annual Ruidoso Downs Hall of Fame Banquet will be held in the Turf Club at Ruidoso Downs on Thursday, August 7th. Other events that were on the racing calendar for the Ruidoso Downs racing season will be determined.
Crews at Ruidoso Downs have begun cleaning up the massive mud and debris caused by July 8’s flooding event. The infield at Ruidoso Downs sustained over ten feet of water at the height of the flash flood destroying the jockey’s quarters, scoreboard, timing mechanisms and other necessary equipment needed to operate horse racing. No race horses died as a result of the flash flooding.
As for the finals of the Rainbow Futurity, Oaks, Derby, Invitational, Juvenile, as well all other major stakes events that remain contested such as the Zia Futurity and Derby, all purses will now be equally distributed according to Trotter.

C.J. Aragon Inducted Into Idaho Rodeo Hall of Fame
Raised in the saddle and roping since he could walk, C.J. Aragon’s rodeo journey began in the Gem State, where he earned his first buckle in 1984 at a dummy roping contest in Twin Falls. A graduate of Kamiah High School and a regular fixture at Idaho State Finals, C.J. racked up titles in team roping and steer wrestling across Districts 3 and 6. In 1993, he was crowned Idaho Cowboys Association Rookie of the Year in both Team Roping and Steer Wrestling—a rare and hard-won double honor.
C.J. took his Idaho-born grit and built a career that’s made waves across the nation. As a PRCA member since 1996 and a 15-time Turquoise Circuit Finals qualifier, he’s no stranger to the big stage. He’s wrestled steers at the CNFR and the NIRA Finals, and even hauled to international competitions with the USA National Team. He’s a past NIRA Champion, PRCA Gold Card member, and longtime rodeo hand at the College National Finals Rodeo as both chute boss and arena director.
But perhaps C.J.’s greatest legacy lies in the more than 80 College National Finals qualifiers and over 60 NIRA Academic All-Americans he’s coached during his 17 years leading college rodeo teams. From Mesalands in Tucumcari, New Mexico to Odessa College in Texas to Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas, he’s shaped champions and helped many Idaho cowboys and cowgirls chase their own gold-buckle dreams.
Whether coaching, mentoring, raising bucking horses, or teaching the next generation how to rope and ride, C.J. Aragon carries Idaho’s cowboy spirit with him wherever he goes. His boots may now stand in Texas dirt, but his roots are planted deep in Idaho soil.
