ESSAGE

Dear Fellow Members, t’s fall and the monsoons missed most of us, there are strong predictions that we will have an El Niño winter and hopefully that will set everyone for a good spring.

With the election looming, it appears that our country becomes ever more divided. You can find a poll that will tell you whatever you want to hear, you just have to figure out how weighted it is and in what direction.

The only sure thing we know is that if we don’t turn out rural New Mexico and America, we are facing an even tougher road in the regulatory arena and maybe legislative as well. We know that we will have at least 28 new faces in the New Mexico Legislature and that number could grow depending on the outcome of the general election. Few of us have ever headed to Santa Fe with the opportunities facing us in the 2013 Legislature. We have a chance to bring a whole new group of folks on board with our issues.

That work has already started and we had a great candidate roundup at the Fall Board Meeting in late September. It was gratifying to see our members stepping up to the plate and offering support to the candidates who attended. I hope that is going on everywhere in the state.

The power of working together was never more clear to me than in the past few weeks when my three sons and I joined forces to build a new set of pens. The boys and the pens are certainly something I can be proud of. With the four of us working together, the pens were not only finished in a timely manner, but they are the best set of pens I have ever had. They are better than something I could have done on my own.

That same principle needs to be considered and applied in everything we do, but especially when it comes to the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association (NMCGA). The things the Association accomplishes would be next to nothing if we didn’t have a strong group of members and leaders who are willing to put their shoulders to the ground and work for the good of every ranch family in our state — not just those who are paying dues.

I sometimes hear that people don’t feel they can join NMCGA unless they are asked. Although that is sure not the case, I am here to ask you now. If you are not already a member of the Association, please join today. You can do so by calling the office at 505/247-0584 or visiting our website at www.nmagriculture.org. Current members may want to visit the website, too. Michelle and the staff launched a newly designed site at the beginning of October.

I also hear that participating in NMCGA is difficult for new members. If we haven’t been as welcoming as we should, we apologize for that and hope you will join us at the upcoming Joint Stockmens’ Convention slated for December 6 through 9 at the Albuquerque Marriott Pyramid North. All committee meetings, with a few exceptions, are open to any member who wishes to participate. We need everyone’s voice to create policy and to implement it.

My mother used to work at the polling precinct at Ancho. One of the things she was most proud of was that our prectinct was always at 100 percent in voting. As our numbers have thinned in the country, the precinct has been consolidated into Carrizozo. I am not sure how, but Mom stills knows that our Ancho neighborhood still votes at nearly 100 percent.

We need that 100 percent participate in the upcoming election, we need that 100 percent as members in NMCGA, and we need that 100 percent working on the numerous issues that face our families, our businesses and our Association every day.

Hope to see you at Convention if not some place before then. We will continue to pray for rain.

Enviros seek to help defend planning rule from industry challenge

by SCOTT STREATER, E&E REPORTER nvironmental groups want to help the Forest Service defend itself against a federal lawsuit filed last month by a coalition of logging, ranching and off-highway vehicle (OHV) groups challenging the agency’s new planning rule for the nation’s 193 million acres of national forests and grasslands.

The Western Environmental Law Center filed a motion in early September in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on behalf of two Oregon-based conservation groups seeking to formally intervene in the lawsuit on behalf of the Forest Service.

A coalition of more than a dozen industry groups claims in its August complaint that the Forest Service overstepped its authority by requiring that new forest management plans provide “ecological sustainability” and “ecosystem services” and use best available science in decisionmaking, among other charges (Greenwire, Aug. 14).

The industry groups — including the American Forest Resource Council, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and BlueRibbon Coalition, an OHV users group — essentially state that the new planning rule ignores the congressional mandate to provide for multiple uses such as logging, ranching and motorized recreation.

The Forest Service has said the new planning rule, which is required by the National Forest Management Act, seeks to carefully balance the interests of all stakeholder groups.

But the conservation groups Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center and Oregon Wild argue that the industry lawsuit threatens that balance and could have broad implications for the agency’s ability to manage forests nationwide.

“This lawsuit, if successful, could effectively ban conservation biology as a basis to help craft how we manage our national forests,” said Pete Frost, a Eugene, Ore.-based attorney for the Western Environmental Law Center who is representing the two groups.

The industry lawsuit also reveals the plaintiffs’ true belief that national forestlands should be managed primarily for resource extraction, said Joseph Vaile, program director for the Ashland, Ore.-based Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center.

“These industry groups have a scary vision for our national forests,” Vaile said. “Never before have we seen extraction industries so clearly state that they oppose the use of science on our national forests. Through this suit, these groups hope the keys to

our national forests are handed over to private industry so they can be turned into private tree farms for their own benefit.”

The Forest Service rule was finalized in March after more than two and a half years of public meetings and more than 300,000 public comments. Previous attempts to update the rule in 2000, 2005 and 2008 drew lawsuits from the Center for Biological Diversity and other environmental groups and were either enjoined or abandoned, leaving the Reagan administration’s 1982 planning rule in place.

The Obama administration rule, which emphasizes watershed restoration, drew praise from major environmental and sportsmen’s groups, including former Forest Service Chief Dale Bosworth and Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) (E&ENews PM, March 23).

“It comes as no surprise that the timber industry would like to see our national forests managed for logging,” said Doug Heiken, Oregon Wild’s conservation and restoration coordinator, “but it becomes truly bizarre when the timber industry must argue against science and in favor of crony capitalism in order to achieve their ■ desired result.”

and their son Clay – Herefords are a good fit, both on the commercial and purebred sides of the business. They raise registered Hereford bulls, both to market to other producers and to use on their own commercial cattle herd.

Standing the Test of Time

“We started raising Herefords because of my love of the breed,” Jimmy said.

“When we were kids, Hereford was the king breed. That’s what everyone raised, continued on page 15

by CALLIE GNATKOWSKI-GIBSON or many years, Hereford was the predominant breed of cattle in this part of the country, and for good reason.

These gentle, easy keeping cattle are known for their fertility and mothering ability. They will adapt to and thrive in the variety of conditions found in the Southwest, and wean a calf that holds its own in comparison to other breeds in the feedyard and at slaughter. When it comes right down to it, Hereford cattle are hard to beat.

and what I grew up showing. We raise horned Herefords just because I like the way they look.”

The family started raising bulls to meet the needs of area commercial cattle producers. “A lot of guys around here raise crossbred cows. Going back to my college days, I know that you need a purebred in there to keep up the vigor,” Jimmy said.

“We are not into show cattle, we just want to raise good, stout, moderate sized bulls that will work in our country,” he continued. “When we buy a bull, even from northern New Mexico, it takes him a year or so to acclimatize to our country.

When we turn new bulls out in these sand hills, it’s hard on them, and hard on their feet.”

The Masons sell some bulls through the Roswell Bull Sale, and sell others private treaty to area ranchers. Jimmy said he wouldn’t mind raising some show steers, but it’s difficult for purebred Herefords to compete with some of the exotic breeds.

“This year, they didn’t have enough steers to make a Hereford class at the New Mexico State Fair, and county fairs classify steers on hip height. My son showed Herefords, but today, English breeds are at a disadvantage in the show ring.”

The breed’s gentle disposition is one important trait for the Masons. “When we bought the ranch, my wife asked what kind of cattle I wanted and I said gentle ones. I like to chase cows, but I don’t like ones that chase me!”

Fertility is another strength of the breed. “You just can’t beat English cattle for fertility. Even last year in the drought, our cattle – the Herefords and the Englishinfluenced commercial cattle – all bred back,” he noted.

He also cites their maternal traits. “I like the same things everyone does about the breed – their mothering ability, their milking ability. As a breed, they are good, protective mothers. We don’t have to worry about coyotes getting our calves.”

Jimmy is working to build his herd, and saves most of his heifer calves as replacements. This year, he raised some nice black baldy steer calves from the commercial herd, which was good, he said, but he was hoping for higher heifer numbers.

The cattle market can be a strange thing, and color still plays a big part.

“Straight bred Herefords do take a little bit of a beating at the sale barn in our part of the country, just because of the color. I tell people that once you take the hide off, you can’t tell the difference.”

Ranch Function...Championship Form

Partners Phil Harvey, Jr. and Jim Bob Burnett, of B&H Herefords near Piñon, raise registered Hereford cattle that will perform in New Mexico’s rough country.

Jim Bob and Phil focus on raising cattle that will do well in a tough environment.

“We don’t push our bulls as hard as a lot of people do. We want our cattle to be able to work anywhere,” Phil explained. “We sell quite a few bulls to local Hope and Piñon ranchers, who run their cows in rough, rocky country with deep water, and we want our bulls to get out there and survive and work. “ The cattle run at an elevation of about 5,200 feet, on gramma grass in piñon/juniper country, similar to much of New Mexico. In addition to the registered Hereford herd, both Jim Bob and his son, Denny Kyle, run commercial cattle on the ranch and all of the cattle are managed the same way. “We handle the Hereford herd

just like our commercial cows, other than collecting data like birth weights and weaning weights,” Jim Bob said.

Cows are supplemented with a protein block through the winter, then with 20 percent protein cubes after they calve until it greens up in the spring. After the bull calves are weaned in the fall, they are fed through the winter on wheat. Bull sales begin in April and run through the fall.

Jim Bob and Phil also market some heifers to commercial producers.

B&H Herefords participates in the Roswell Bull Sale, but markets the majority of their bulls private treaty from the ranch. Although they have a few bulls working in registered herds, the majority of their customers are range producers.

“From time to time, we’ll go to different sales with top-end cattle, when we have an animal that we think can do well,” Phil said.

The mother cows at B&H Herefords are moderate framed, between 1,100 and 1,200 pounds, and their range bulls mature at between 1,800 and 2,000 pounds. “We are shooting for moderate sized, moderate framed, easy fleshing cattle. We also watch the carcass traits, and select herd sires with high marbling scores, and a good-sized ribeye,” Jim Bob explained.

The goal is to produce bulls whose calves fit commercial producers’ parameters, he continued. “We want bulls that produce carcasses 600 and 800 pounds, with an eleven- to thirteen-inch ribeye, that will grade low choice.”

Hardiness is one of the breed’s best traits, according to Phil. “The thing about Herefords that makes them excel is their ability to get out and rustle. They can get out and get it done when other breeds cannot. That’s where they came from, it’s in their genetic makeup.”

He also cites the breed’s gentle disposition, fertility and reproductive performance. “Hereford cattle have probably as good of a disposition as any beef breed.

They are easy to get along with, and easy to work,” Phil explained. “If an animal does act a little crazy, it doesn’t stay in our herd for long, but those cattle are really an exception. Disposition is a hallmark of the breed.”

Both Phil and Jim Bob’s kids showed Herefords growing up. “I can remember my youngest daughter leading a two-yearcontinued on page 17

Hereford continued from page 16

old bull at a show, she was probably about five years old. That bull followed right behind her, stopped when she stopped, and the lead rope stayed slack the whole time.

That’s what it is all about,” Phil remembered.

Hereford genetics are a good tool for producers looking to boost their crossbreeding program, he explained. “A black baldy – Hereford/Angus cross – calf is almost unsurpassed, what they produce is hard to beat. Something in the Hereford genetics creates stronger heterosis than other breeds.”

“There is not a better cow in the world than a black baldy,” Jim Bob agreed. “The steer calves can go any direction after weaning and garner premiums in all levels of the market. You can sell your black baldy females as replacement heifers, and get as much for them as you do your steer calves.”

Phil also considers Hereford to be a very efficient breed. “They have optimum size and growth for this part of the country, and their feed efficiency is unparalleled. You see a lot of cattle on feed, but a lot of times it takes 40-60 days longer to get those calves where they need to be for slaughter than it does a Hereford.”

Known for fertility and adaptability, Herefords are easy fleshing cattle that function in any environment and breed back with less feed and input, Jim Bob noted. “We place a lot of emphasis on fertility and fleshing ability, and work to raise cows that will give you longevity in your herd.”

Phil served on the American Hereford Association Board of Directors from 1989 to 1995, and served as President in 1994.

During that time, the AHA put the Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) program into place, and Phil is proud of the program’s continued on page 18

ongoing success. Although the AHA was twenty years behind other breeds, he said, we came out with a program and product that really works. A number of supermarkets in New Mexico and Texas carry CHB products, and the market is growing. “It’s been very successful, which is gratifying to see both as a producer and as someone who helped develop the program.”

As with Hereford cattle, he said, the CHB product is easy to recognize. “It’s a superb product. From the high end cuts of meat to hamburger, it’s almost shocking how good the meat tastes,” he said. “Hereford beef has great palatability, and it takes less time and inputs to produce.”

One reason for the program’s success, he said, are the strict controls on the types of cattle that are accepted – only straight

Hereford cattle and cattle that are 50 percent Hereford 50 percent British breeds – no exotics or dairy cattle.

“The controls on quality and breed make up are just not there in other programs. CHB is a superior product with unparalleled consistency, flavor and tenderness. It is hard for a similar product in the same price range to make that claim.”

The Harvey family has a long history in the Hereford business. C.M. Harvey moved to El Paso from Oklahoma in 1911 and bought

the family’s first ranch, the Ancho Sheep Company north of Carrizozo, in 1915. In 1924, he bought a herd of Hereford cattle and the TR brand from Thomas Fortune Ryan at Three Rivers. The Harveys registered their first Hereford in 1938, and over the years, the family operation grew to include both registered and commercial herds, ranches near Carrizozo, Alamogordo and Cloudcroft, and a farm near Las Cruces.

C.M.’s grandson, Phil Harvey, Jr., got more involved with the operation in 1973 after graduating from college, and focused on improving the registered herd. Phil started using artificial insemination (AI), and started really promoting and showing the cattle. “My dad had focused on infrastructure for many years, but my interest was in the cattle,” Phil said. “We made some good progress, and developed a very good herd of cattle.”

In 1996, the Harvey family decided to sell the ranching and cattle operations. At the Harvey Hereford Ranches dispersal sale, Phil and Jim Bob, who had been herdsman at the Harveys’ Las Cruces farm, bought 24 head of females, and B&H Herefords was born. “We didn’t have any advantage, we were bidding against everyone else and tried to acquire the best cows out of the sale that we could afford.” They moved their cattle to land near Lovington, then Hope, and in 2010, moved the herd to Piñon.

Phil and his wife, Carlitta, live in Las Cruces; Jim Bob and his wife, Melissa, live in Artesia; and Denny Kyle and his wife, Sherida live on the ranch. Jim Bob and Denny Kyle handle the day to day operations, while Phil takes care of maintaining registrations, advertising and promotion.

“Amongst us all, it gets done,” Phil said. ■

Farm Credit of N.M. announces its focus on drought arm Credit of New Mexico (FCNM), announced in mid September that it is committed to support its customerowners and the agricultural community who are impacted by the 2012 drought.

“The impacts of drought have been felt across the country, including in the state of New Mexico. We are committed to supporting our customer-owners at a time of significant challenge for agriculture,” said Al Porter, FCNM’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “While our customers are accustom to dealing with weather related volatility, we believe we must be aware of the issues that drought creates and focus on helping customers manage the impacts of this historic drought.”

F

Porter said “Our customers should know that the FCNM is prepared to help them through this difficult period so they can continue to grow and be successful over the long term.”

CoBank and the nation’s three other Farm Credit banks issued a joint statement on the drought. The banks said that, “despite the challenges presented by the drought, the Farm Credit System remains well positioned to meet the financial needs of the farmers, ranchers, cooperatives and other rural borrowers.”

Also, CoBank, FCNM’s funding bank, announced it will contribute $1 million to Feeding America, the nation’s leading hunger relief charity. The funds will be designated to support programs in areas of the country where the bank and its affiliated associations have significant operations.

“One of the unfortunate side effects of the drought has been the growing concern over increasing prices for a variety of food products at a time when unemployment remains stubbornly high,” said Bob Engel, CoBank President and Chief Executive Officer. “We want to do our part to alleviate the downside effects of a weak economic recovery coupled with potentially higher food prices, particularly on the poor. We’re pleased to be able to underwrite Feeding America with this contribution and support their work on behalf of needy people across the country.”

“Across the U.S., more than 50 million people face hunger, and rising food prices threaten to make it even harder for them to put food on the table,” said Matt Knott, Interim President and CEO of Feeding ■ America.

Mesalands Rodeo Team Member New World Champion ailey Bates, 19, a member of the Mesalands Community College Rodeo Team, was recently crowned the 2012 International Indian World Champion Breakaway Roper at the 8th Annual International Indian Finals Rodeo (IIFR). The rodeo was part of the New Mexico State Fair held September in Albuquerque.

This is Bates second year to compete at the IIFR on behalf of the All Indian Rodeo Cowboys Association. Bates said she has been a part of this Association all of her life.

“I’ve grown up with it. My Grandpa was one of the founders of the organization when it first started. It’s always been part of my family and I’ve been committed to rodeo because of this organization,” Bates said. “It felt awesome that all of my hard work paid off and that I finally got my consistency down in one weekend. It’s just a self confidence booster.”

The top 15 qualifiers in each of the five Affiliate Associations of Canada and the United States, compete at the IIFR. According to their website, the goal of the IIFR is to offer the next generation of the Indian rodeo competitors a place to compete and showcase their talents in a professional rodeo arena.

Bates said she has been competing in rodeo competitions for the past 10 years in breakaway roping and team roping. She said her brother, Michael, had a major influence on her choosing to attend Mesalands and compete on the Rodeo Team.

Michael was a former member of the Mesalands Rodeo Team and performed very well, qualifying for the 2008 College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) and was a 2008 Academic All-American.

Bates is starting her second year on the Mesalands Rodeo Team and is majoring in Liberal Arts. In July Bates competed at the 2012 CNFR in Casper, WY and finished 13th in the nation in breakaway roping.

She also contributed to the Women’s Team finishing 4th in the nation and second in the Grand Canyon Region. Bates was also a 2012 Academic All-American recipient.

“We are very proud to have Bailey at Mesalands,” Dr. Mildred Lovato, President of Mesalands said. “She has not only performed well in rodeo, but she is also an exemplary student. Congratulations Bailey! We look forward to seeing what you ■ achieve in the future.”

Greetings CowBelles, ctober already, and as the year winds down I want to explore the importance of the beef checkoff for producers, consumers, and promoters. In other words, its’ important to almost everyone. The beef checkoff is funded by producers to increase beef demand. The $1 per head is collected on all cattle sold and is used for producer directed promotion, research and information. New Mexico CowBelles promote beef and the beef industry every day. We do this with school programs, ranch tours, and grocery store demonstrations.

We participate in the National Beef Cookoff and the Beef Booth at the NM State Fair. Both of these activities provide us an opportunity to interact one-on-one with consumers, educating them on the benefits of beef, sampling beef and demonstrating convenient, healthy beef meals.

O

Programs funded by beef checkoff dollars: ■ We hold a state Beef Ambassador Contest each year and send our winners on to the National contest. This is a competitive youth public speaking program for the beef industry. It promotes the beef industry and development of leadership skills in youth. The National Beef Ambassador Program spotlights the positive impact the cattle industry has on our economy and families. This program is funded in part by beef checkoff dollars.

■ We give out information and recipes at our county fairs and health fairs. We share the twenty-nine lean cuts of beef, the My Plate dietary guidelines, the alternative U.S. beef cuts that include tri-tip and flat iron. We give the public information about the BOLD study which shows that lean beef can be good for heart health by lowering LDL cholesterol. We have data that shows that fresh beef is the number one source of protein, vitamin B-12 and zinc in the American diet. Changes in cattle breeding and fat trimming methods have resulted in increased availability of leaner beef. Today, more than two-thirds of beef sold at retail meet the government guidelines for lean. This information and research funded by beef checkoff dollars.

Checkoff funded research proves that a nutrition labeling program increases consumer loyalty and meat sales.

Next time you prepare a Beef Cook off winning recipe, see the NM Beef Ambassador at an event, share with a friend or neighbor information about the BOLD research, give a demonstration at your local grocery store, or talk to the public at the State Fair remember that it was all because of the Beef Checkoff!

– Beverly Butler, NMCB President The September 6 meeting of the Chamiza CowBelles was called to order by President Gloria Petersen at the Elephant Butte’s Ivory Tusk Restaurant with 13 members present. Minutes from the previous meeting were read and approved with one correction. The reason for charging group for a vendor booth at the Elephant Butte Days after this year is because other vendors felt they shouldn’t have to pay if CowBelles didn’t. However, no one is available to work this year’s Elephant Butte

days, so the event is moot. Dolores gave the treasurer’s report and it was also approved. Michelle Shivers sent a transcript of her classes for this semester so Dolores was instructed to send the $500 scholarship check to NMSU. The bill for fair booth ($25) was sent to Jodell which she paid and will be reimbursed for. Jodell reported that there is a possibility that group will not be supplied with a table this year. Gloria volunteered to work all three days of the fair if other people would set up and take down the booth. Jodell, Susan, and Cathy volunteered to set up the booth and agreed to meet at the fairgrounds at 10 a.m. on Thursday, October 11. Myra and Mel Tepper donated a large afghan for the Cowbelles to use as a raffle item. Several people turned in beef raffle ticket money and lots of Bullocks’ receipts. Thank you!

There will be no meeting in October because of the County Fair. Submitted by Cathy Pierce With nine members present, Lariat CowBelles met Sept. 5, at the Rabbit Ears Café. A thank you card was received from Lyn Greene for Lariat’s donation to help with the agriculture insert in the Albuquerque Journal – “A Centennial Celebration of NM Agriculture.” A thank you card

was received from the Kimsey family for the donation to the Pat Nowlin Memorial Scholarship Fund in memory of their son, David. A card of acknowledgement was received from Anne Ferguson for the memorial donation to the Pat Nowlin Memorial Scholarship Fund. The 4th of July pie sale was successful. Lyndi Owensby, daughter of Raymond and Kathy Owensby of Folsom, NM, is the 2012 winner of the Lariat Scholarship. Lyndi is a graduate of Des Moines High School and a junior at New Mexico State University, majoring in Animal Science. Mia Encinias won Mini Beef Showmanship at the Union County Fair.

accept the minutes from the August meeting as mailed. The November meeting will be held on the FIRST Tuesday at Babbi’s house, which is Election Day. The group was reminded that September 18 and 19 are Chuckwagon’s State Fair days. The Pumpkin Patch in Rio Rancho on October 27 and 28 was mentioned, and Sharon King, NMCB President-elect, would very much appreciate any help with this booth.

Vera Gibson announced the 4-H fundraiser on October 20. She would like for CowBelles to come and distribute information to the public. It will take place at the Ag Science Center in Los Lunas from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. The Christmas party is slated to be at Tierra del Sol in Belen and the October meeting will be at the Shaffer Hotel in Mountainair. The group decided to donate $50 to the Mountainair Friends of the NRA. Phyllis Hawley then introduced Berta Espinosa-Moore with the Torrance County Project Office (TCPO). Berta gave a program on the Home Visitation program at the Torrance County Project Office. She said she visits families to inform them about infant mental health and about programs and resources available to them. She

emphasized the poverty in the Estancia area and said that her office accepts diapers, formula, and toy donations. Marilyn Mignery gave a brief history on the creation of the TCPO. She said it was conceived by the Extension Office to bring communication between the agencies. Berta said that the Home Visitation Program is about keeping the family healthy. There was discussion about the program serving undocumented or illegal aliens. There was also discussion about the need for this kind of program. There was discussion about young prison inmates who are pregnant and how this project can assist them.

Respectfully submitted by Babbi Baker The Powderhorn CowBelles met south of Newkirk in September. Mike Kull, President of The Ranches, gave an update on the ranch. He and his wife Nikki, have been with the Ranch for 42 years. He stated that the New Mexico CowBelles were supporters when the Ranch was started in 1944; they were there in 1952 when they almost declared bankruptcy because the founder was killed in a plane crash, and they have remained staunch supporters through all the years since. He expressed his deep appreciation. The present economy has affected The Ranches.

They accept no government money, depend on the generosity of individuals and many organizations and businesses.

They are impacted by the cost of myriad regulations, state and national. The closing of Girls’ Ranch in 2008 saved a million dollars a year and the sale of the Pippin Ranch in Clovis allowed the purchase of property and establishment of the newest program, Mountain View Ranch. They are in good financial shape, but their aim is to increase the efficiency of the operation and establish reliability for the long haul. At present they are in the process of developing 380 acres within the ranch boundaries for agricultural use and are fortunate to have a donor for this. The aim is to become as self-sufficient as possible and be able to withstand hard times which may be in the future. The boys and girls have been living together for two years and are as normal as any family. The school is self-contained and very successful. Mike said that a common misconception is that the children are juvenile delinquents, when the truth is that almost all are victims of a family in crisis. A good example is Mike Romero, Mary’s husband, who is at present the Chairman of the Board of Directors of The Ranches. At one time in the 60s he lived at the Ranch. Mike told us that he was the oldest of five children. He was twelve when his mother became very ill and he and a younger brother entered the ranch, later followed by the other three children. They were there until he was sixteen and they were able to be reunited with their mother.

The ranch was much smaller then, about 50 boys, and they lived in three buildings, elementary, junior high and high school.

In many ways it was primitive compared to now, but he remembers the loving care and guidance they received. During the business meeting, Powderhorn decided to participate in Winterfest this year, Karen Kelling, Sandy McKenna, Nancy Schade and Ellen Vaughan were appointed as a committee to work out details and report back to the members. Four members are planning to attend 5-States. The October meeting will be held at Abby Hofman’s home for the meeting and lunch and then will tour Mesa College in Tucumcari.

T

he Hage case has been one of the most closely followed by federal land ranchers over the last several years.

It involved Nevada rancher Wayne Hage’s dispute with the Forest Service and BLM that ended with their taking of his private property rights to water, grazing and improvements associated with them. The Federal Court of Claims upheld the property rights and awarded the Hage Estate $14.2 million in damages and interest. As Frank reported last month, the feds appealed, and a three-judge panel vacated the damage award. As legal experts have reviewed the ruling it appears that it was not a complete loss because it did not overturn the recognition of property rights.

The Hage’s have reportedly requested an en banc hearing before the full 13judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The hope is that the full panel will

be more objective than the three who vacated the original Claims Court damage award.

In a parallel case, Reno Federal District Court Judge Robert C. Jones found BLM and Forest Service administrators to be in contempt of court and ordered them to personally pay $33,000 in damages should the government not compensate the Hage’s and third parties involved.

In addition Judge Jones found Forest Service Region 4 Director Harv Forsgren to be lying to the court and Nevada FS head Jean Higgins to be less than truthful.

After those findings were announced several others slated to testify declined to do so. Before transferring to Region 4 in 2007, Forsgren served as FS Region 3 Director in Albuquerque over forests in Arizona and New Mexico. Judge Jones says his full opinion will be published by early

October.

The insanity of the Endangered Species Act continues. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has announced plans to declare 838,232 acres as Jaguar critical habitat.

Environmentalists want several times as much which is no surprise. There have been Jaguar sightings in extreme southeastern Arizona and the boot heel of New Mexico over the years. A Scientific American article quotes Jaguar experts who say the cat’s real habitat starts miles south of the border in Mexico and continues into Central and South America. They say the designation is a waste of resources that could be better used conserving Jaguar habitat south of the border. If approved, critical habitat designation will give the Center for Biological Diversity another avenue to push for land use restrictions and collect from lawsuits.

That has also been the enviros pattern and practice with the wolf reintroduction.

There are several suits either pending or threatened over northern gray wolves.

WildEarth Guardians latest nuisance suit has cost New Mexico over $200,000 in legal fees defending the NM Department of Game and Fish authority to regulate trapping in the Mexican wolf recovery area.

The administration recently announced plans to fast track development of solar and wind energy across the west on Defense Department and BLM lands. The Defense Department is expected to contribute 16 million acres to such projects.

One of the largest is a Wyoming wind farm that will cover 220,000 acres. That is a mind boggling 350 sections of windmills.

The next largest project is a 75-section wind farm in Arizona. There are several large solar projects proposed for California most of which pose serious conflicts for environmentalists. Solar farms are green energy but they aren’t environmentally friendly. These will destroy endangered desert tortoise habitat that was used to stop grazing in California’s deserts. This is another opportunity for green groups to demonstrate their hypocrisy by lack of opposition to these boondoggles to protect continued on page 33

the tortoise they were so concerned about just a few short years ago.

Ruidoso is facing water shortages as a result of this summer’s fires. Some of the community’s water supply comes from surface water. Since the fires the runoff in the streams and lakes is so full of ash and silt that it cannot be made safe to drink.

Ultimately the damage to the watershed will even depress the recharge of groundwater aquifers.

This has been one of the worst fire seasons ever across the West. Drought and an exceptionally hot summer had a lot to do with it but Federal mismanagement of our National Forests is largely responsible for the conditions that made them susceptible to so many huge, destructive wildfires.

Although they will never admit it, the treehuggers and their lawyers are in large part responsible for the sorry condition of most of our National Forests.

Environmental groups are skilled at producing PR campaigns that play to emotions and demonize their opponents. If you believe their propaganda you would think anyone who doesn’t agree with them wants our kids to breathe diesel smoke and drink muddy sewer water. In reality the smoke we were breathing this summer and the filthy water full of ash, silt and burnt logs in lakes and streams in New Mexico and across the western states is courtesy of these same groups and their supporters in Washington.

Those of us who are involved in production agriculture either directly or indirectly as part of an associated industry or group have a closer relationship with our natural surroundings than the environmental activists who run these groups ever will. We know that gives us a better understanding of natural processes and what works and what doesn’t. We can’t afford the luxury of believing in fantasies when it comes to the environment. If it doesn’t rain we have to deal with reality of drought. If we don’t manage our forests, they will burn. If we turn large predators loose they will kill livestock and wildlife.

We end up dealing with the results of stupid government policy. It is way past time for that to stop.

Political parties treat their platforms like they are irrelevant if they are criticized and like governing documents if they happen to be popular. Either way at least they are an indication of party philosophy.

Here are some excerpts from the Democrats: “We affirm the science of cli-

mate change, commit to significantly reducing the pollution that causes climate change, and know we have to meet this challenge by driving smart policies that lead to greater growth in clean energy generation and result in a range of economic and social benefits.” “We understand that global climate change may disproportionately affect the poor, and we are committed to environmental justice.”

And from the Republicans: “Experience has shown that, in caring for the land and water, private ownership has been our best guarantee of conscientious stewardship, while the worst instances of environmen-

tal degradation have occurred under government control. By the same token, the most economically advanced countries – those that respect and protect private property rights – also have the strongest environmental protections, because their economic progress makes possible the conservation of natural resources.”

You can decide which of those positions makes more sense.

I don’t believe we have ever seen a statewide race with as much money spent on political ads by environmental groups continued on page 57

My Cowboy Heroes

Bobbi Jeen “In the Beginning” OLSON here was Rodeo. It started as a contest between cowboys to see who was the best roper and rider. Soon it evolved into ranches competing against each other to see who had the best cowboys — much like a ranch rodeo of today. Before long, organized events were taking place in towns like Prescott, Arizona which claims to have the world’s oldest rodeo (started in 1888) and Payson, Arizona who argues they have the world’s oldest continuous rodeo (started in 1884). Then you have Pecos, Texas who claims the right to the world’s first rodeo (1883) but history tells us that William F. Cody (AKA Buffalo Bill) staged his first Wild West Show (which also had rodeo events) in 1882 at North Platte, Nebraska.

But wait! There is more; Santa Fe, New Mexico also claims the first rodeo based on a letter dated 1847 written by Captain Mayne Reid from Santa Fe to a friend in Ireland: “At this time of year, the cowmen have what is called the round-up, when the calves are branded and the fat beasts selected to be driven to a fair hundreds of

miles away. This round-up is a great time for the cowhand, a Donnybrook fair it is indeed. They contest with each other for the best roping and throwing, and there are horse races and whiskey and wines. At night in clear moonlight, there is dancing on the streets.”

Many will argue exact historic dates of the sport, but none will doubt the birth of rodeo was a contest of the cowboy.

In the early 1900s, rodeos were largely unorganized and scattered. The events as we know them today were mostly acts mixed in with wild west shows — which were more common at the time than a rodeo, as thought of in today’s terms. As a matter of fact, rodeos and wild west shows enjoyed a parallel existence in the early days and one was really not much different than the other (they even had a lot of the same stars and contestants).

Many towns held annual “rodeos” but these shows were more commonly known as cowboy contests, stampedes, frontier days celebrations and of course, wild west shows. The term rodeo was not widely

used until organization started to infiltrate the sport (in 1929). While rodeo had become a way of life for a select few in its earliest days, there was no standard to the event schedule, rules, judging, etc. You might have a steer roping sandwiched between an Indian relay race and a shooting exhibition. Then they might go on with saddle broncs and steer wrestling followed by the “chicken pull” and trick roping. It’s been said there were over a hundred different events or acts to choose from, including a unique event held each year at Chicago where mounted cowboys went to lake Michigan, were floated out on a barge, and were then forced off, having to swim their horses several hundred yards back to shore! The first one back was the winner. Buffalo Bill Cody obviously had the most recognizable wild west show, and his show was more act and less rodeo, but rodeos of the day were a lot more wild west show than you think of in terms of your typical rodeo today.

These shows were very entertaining and popular with the crowds. However, cowboys competing in these performances were not thought of like a modern independent cowboy athlete is today. The organizers thought cowboys should be happy with cowboy wages and payouts for winning events were reflective of this mindset.

At the time, cowboy wages were about a dollar per day ($30 a month). So if a cowboy could win (or was paid) that much, or sometimes even up to $100 for winning an event, he ought to be happy — and most were. Many cowboys from back in those days have been quoted as saying that winning a hundred dollars or so at a rodeo was more money than they had ever seen at one time in their whole life and that is what got them hooked on the shows.

There were problems with this system however.

Cowboys still had to pay an entrance fee, much like today, and the amount of fees paid by the contestants was not continued on page 45

reflected in the winning payout. Then there was the problem of each producer or town having their own ideas of how the show should be run and which events to include. There was little standard in judging the riding events and rules varied from place to place. Then there were always those few who worked the system to their advantage and sometimes winners were determined before the show even started!

(Unofficially of course.)

Accusations of bribes and crooked judges ran high. The rodeo cowboy became disgusted with this situation over time. It took a while, but he finally realized he was the star of the show; folks paid to see him perform, and he was not getting a fair share. There were thousands of dollars being made on some of the bigger shows from ticket sales and contestant entry fees, but only a few hundred would be paid back to the winners. This was fine for a few, but it was starvation for the overall lot. Just enough was being paid out to keep them coming back, with hopes it would be their turn to win the next show; kind of like dangling the proverbial carrot.

All of this changed however in 1936.

That was the year professional rodeo was born. Rodeo organization was actually started in the northern states in 1929 with the formation of the Rodeo Association of America (RAA). This association was made up of managers and producers and did not include the cowboy in decision making and therefore was often contentious, seldom recognized and eventually it was merged with the Cowboys Turtle Association (CTA). They called themselves “turtles” because they were slow to organize but eventually stuck their heads out. They were the first cowboys to have a say in how the show ran. In 1945, the Cowboys Turtle Association changed their name to the Rodeo Cowboys Association (RCA) and in 1975 it was changed to the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA).

It was Boston Garden, 1936, and the cowboys were fed up with one Colonel William T. Johnson of Texas; promoter and organizer of major rodeos such as Madison Square Garden and the Boston show.

While Johnson had a knack for producing spectacular shows and attendance was usually high, he refused to listen to the complaints of the cowboy. So they went on strike, demanded their entrance fees be added to the payout and that standard rules and judging be implemented.

Johnson was livid and told the cowboys

to leave the grounds; he would put on a show without them. As they rode out of Boston Garden, a-horseback, the press was there taking pictures. The press sympathized with the cowboys and the public was soon on their side. That night Johnson attempted to put on the performance using stable hands, grooms and wild west performers. The cowboys sat in the audience and booed. It became such a spectacle, with a poor performance, that the audience joined the cowboys in their disapproval. The Boston committee told Johnson to stop the show and work with the cowboys. Johnson said, “I’ll drive my stock into the bay before I give in to their demands!” Cowboy Hugh Bennett, one of the strike organizers hollered, “We’ll sad-

dle up and help you!”

Johnson eventually agreed to negotiate when the managers of the Garden told him to come to an agreement with the cowboys or he would be thrown out as well. Negotiations lasted throughout the night and into the next day, however, an agreement was finally reached. The seed of professional rodeo had been planted. There were sixty-one men who signed the original document which eventually led to the formation of the Cowboys Turtle Association that fateful day in Boston. Only one of those men remain alive at the time of this writing; he was a contestant at the Boston Garden show that October/November 1936.

2012 State Fair Honors Ag Families New Mexico Department of Agriculture Jeff Witte made the award presentation to the Sutherlands, assisted by Governor Susana Martinez

The Sutherlands 2012 Farm Family of the Year

The New Mexico State Fair has named New Mexico’s Farm Family of the Year for 2012: Allen and D’rese Sutherland of Sutherland Farms in the state’s Four Corners area. The Sutherlands own and operate a farm and onfarm retail store in the Animas River Valley north of Aztec. They grow and sell a variety of crops, including sweet corn and pumpkins. The green chile they grow is highlighted during the Animas River Green Chile Festival held every September on the farm.

The Sutherlands are also involved in agri-tourism – that’s the idea that agriculturally-based operations and activities can bring visitors to a farm or ranch for learning and fun. Spring and fall field trips bring area schoolkids to Sutherland Farms.

“Our mission is to promote agriculture to those who might not otherwise have a chance to experience it,” the Sutherlands said.

Allen and D’rese are the perfect guides for such an experience. After growing up in farming and ranching families, they started farming on their own in the Estancia Valley in 1978.

They relocated to the Animas River Valley in 1993.

The Sutherlands’ son Bobby, daughter-in-law Shelley, daughter Amanda, and five grandchildren (Autumn, SteviRae, Dylan, Derek and Hallie) also work in the family business. Market manager Jeanne Sweet has been with the family for 14 years. Other family members and many friends volunteer their time and are an invaluable resource, according to the Sutherlands.

OCTOBER 2012

The family works with organizations to educate the community of the benefits of locally grown food and the importance of agricultural sustainability. The Sutherlands say that they get a lot of support from area residents, “which is why we’re able to do what we enjoy.”

Jim McCauley’s 2012 Ranch Family of the Year

uring this New Mexico Centennial Year at a time when it seems our country is more divided than it has been since the 1860s, the significance of recognizing the importance of the traditions of agriculture and ranching and their families along with the part the State Fair plays in bridging rural and urban communities has never been more important.

Their spirit of cooperation and community is something that the entire nation needs to embrace.

The 2012 State Fair Ranch Family of the Year is one of those families who have been in the Southwest from its beginnings, with Jim McCauley family settling in Grant County in 1904. Connie Riggs McCauley family had come to Cochise County Arizona 25 years before that.

These families helped feed other early settlers as well as the soldiers at Ft. Bowie while the Apaches were still considered dangerous.

Four generations of the McCauley family attended the 2012 State Fair, with some of them selling animals in the sale.

While ranching has been the focus of the McCauley family for generations, Jim served his country during World War II. Connie’s mother was a founding member of The Cowbelles and her father, John Stark served as president of the New Mexico Cattle Growers’

D

Association in 1960 through ‘62.

Things usually fall behind a bit on the ranch in September. The State Fair is on and there are animals to show and people to see, so the McCauley’s hit the road from Cliff to Albuquerque.

Over the years Jim and Connie’s kids and grandkids have done everything from riding bulls and broncs and roping, to football, basketball, wrestling and Little League. The most enjoyment has come from 4-H and FFA. They have won state contests in livestock judging, wool judging and ag. mechanics.

The first trip to the state fair was in the 1960s with two homegrown steers.

A year or two later Joe showed the Reserve Grand Champion pig. The champion was shown by Howard McCall, and champion pair of pigs was shown by Congressman Steve Pearce.

What a vacation for ranchers!

Jim passed away in 2010. Today the family includes Connie, their five children, and a house full of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Caren Cowan, New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association, made the award presentation to the McCauley’s, assisted by Governor Susana Martinez and New Mexico Department of Agriculture Director/Secretary Jeff Witte.

in support of a candidate as we have seen for Martin Heinrich in this campaign.

They were all emotional appeals with no real facts to support the premise of the ad.

Most of the Heather Wilson ads were based on appeals to logic.

This year there is a clear choice between two very different directions for the country. On the issues most important to the future of those of us to whom natural resources and their use are important this election is crucial. All the political pundits agree that voter turnout will decide this one. We don’t have the resources to fund slick media campaigns for our causes or candidates. But we can still influence the outcome by making sure we get people to either vote early or absentee or show up on election day. Study the issues and decide which candidate’s positions more closely match your own and vote. And make sure all your friends, neighbors and relatives do the same.

Most of New Mexico is still in one stage or the other of some serious drought. The promised summer monsoons came up way short. Forecasts are for a weak El Niño this winter and spring with a chance for above normal moisture late this year and the first half of 2013. Sooner would be better but if it can’t be in time for this year’s growing season it’s better late than never. All we can do is cut back where we have to and take care of the country so it can recover when the rains come.

Until next time, pray for rain and God’s ■ blessing on us all.

Vermejo Summer 1974

by CURTIS FORT

y late April we began to gather and brand calves in the winter range and push them above the drift fence. All those canyons we wintered in were fenced half way down so we threw the cattle below the fence in January and back above in the spring. The cowboys spent long but good days working those canyons and burning a WS on the calves. We drifted the cattle closer to headquarters and eventually 30 miles more to the high country. By May 1st we were still branding and pushing those cows and calves toward headquarters and beyond. Charlie Price, a good friend of mine from Tatum where I was raised, showed up to visit as he’d just graduated from high school. He is all cowpuncher, same as his brothers Sid and Sterling, and their Dad, Tommy. Tommy was a hero of mine, and my Dad’s good friend, as they had neighbored for years. A few of us cowpunchers loaned Charlie mounts because he can handle anything you choked down. We enjoyed having him work with us for a couple of weeks. All the herds of cows, calves and bulls were finally pushed up the Bernal or Gold Creek trails to eventually arrive in that high range of good grass, big creeks and pretty country.

One day we were driving a bunch by Mary’s Lake (named for the movie star Mary Pickford). She, along with Doug Fairbanks and others, owned Vermejo in the late twenties and thirties. A big Hereford bull decided to head for other ranges and before you knew it, here came Charlie, mounted on a big dun horse. He ripped a loop on that bull’s horns, waved the slack to him, and the rope sure got tight when Mr. Bull hit the end of it! I was proud of Charlie for catching him. Jim Taylor, who always had a hungry loop, picked up both hocks and went to the end of it! Two or three of us bailed off and had to grunt hard to tail that brute over and put some dirt in his eyes. Mr. Hereford bull decided it

B

would be better with the herd than dealing with those punchers. We spent some long days pushing those pairs closer to the summer range. We were always laughing and joking around as it was good to be on horseback, or as my friend Tommy Pearson of the San Simon outfit says, “. . . just riding a pretty horse and letting your feet hang down.”

As most big cow outfits, the Vermejo realized the cowpunchers had been locked down since Christmas with winter feeding, calving, and spring roundup. They agreed that everyone should celebrate the Fourth of July and be thankful for our freedoms.

From the RO’s in Arizona, to the Fork’s in Texas, the Fourth is celebrated with a rodeo. Riding rank horses and roping . . . that’s a cowpuncher’s life . . . and they love it. Prescott, Arizona and Pecos, Texas still argue, both claiming to have been the first to have a rodeo, and they both have a big one on the Fourth. I like the way Will James tells it in one of his books, and it’s probably the way rodeos started. He tells that when shipping their cattle on the railroads, big outfits would camp within a few miles of each other at railheads. They dayherded their cattle while they waited their turn to load the train. This took several days, so with idle time, cowboys held roping and riding contests. The LX outfit bet the LS outfit they could ride any of their outlaws and vice versa, and pretty soon the Hash Knife’s and XX outfits did the same.

So you had a contest of real cowpunchers doing what they did at work every day. Vermejo let everyone off for several days. The Fourth of July Rodeo, at Cimarron, NM, is one of those special events to celebrate the holiday. They open with our national anthem, then a prayer thanking God for our freedoms and those who gave their lives for this nation. It still goes on today.

If you want to meet real cowpunchers, their wives and families, they’ll be there.

Just go to the Fourth of July Rodeo, at Cimarron or other cow towns.

We all got back to work and it was a good time to start on the broncs. The high country camp men packed salt and watched for cows with “brisket,” a disease from the high elevation. They put out horse tracks everyday. As with most high country outfits, the time to start those broncs was in July, when it was as warm as it would be in that range. We had been prowling after the Fourth, as most of the cattle were in the high country. But it was a riding job so we were always on horseback, which was good. Jud had taken over the ramrod position since Bill John went to run an outfit at Clayton, New Mexico.

One day when we were catching fresh horses, we could tell he couldn’t figure what powder to shoot. Then he lit up like a light bulb as we finished saddling up. He told us to hit a trot and find the mares and colts and see how they were doing! He said he’d seen ‘em a month ago up around the state line. The fact was that the grass was lush everywhere, the elk kept big holes in the fence and that all the pastures were big, so, who knew where they were?

Ronny, Frosty and I covered lots of country looking for the mares and their colts. It was pleasant as there was green grass, cool weather and we were a-horseback. We would cut their sign, but we knew they were okay and somewhere on the outfit.

About the second day we rode in around 6:00 p.m. and were unsaddling. We had just put our saddles on the racks in the saddle house with our wet blankets on top, rolled a smoke, and Jud drove up to quiz us about our luck at finding the mares. He knew they were out there and we knew it was just busy work, but when we said we were getting closer he said, “Ah, hell, there’s an ocean on both sides of ‘em, so continued on page 59

they’re okay.”

It was time to start riding the broncs to replenish the remuda! Ronny was the bronc stomper, and Jud told me to “swamp” for him. That meant for me to help him forefoot, get them saddled and after Ronny made the first few rides, I would put some miles on them. Starting around August 1st, Ron and I met at the saddle house, saddled a couple of top mounts and hit a high trot to the Castle Rock Camp, seven or eight miles west of headquarters. Castle Rock was a big camp with corrals, houses etc., all of big logs in the middle of a beautiful open area. There were patches of big pines at the foot of the Vermejo Mountains, and it looked like everyone’s idea for the setting of the “dream” ranch.

Ron and I came into one of the big traps, gathered those broncs and hit the corrals with them the first try without spilling them. They were just past two years old, had been slightly halterbroke when weaned, and besides being castrated in June, were out in the big range. They didn’t realize it was time

for them to earn their way on the Vermejo and they’d find out soon that they were here for a purpose. So one at a time we tied up a hind leg, sacked them out, put a saddle on them and Ron stepped aboard. He liked riding those colts. He could ride a bucking horse but still had a way with those young horses. After a few saddles, I

would start putting a ride on them after I’d helped him saddle a new one. Just before noon I’d go to the camp house to get the wood cook stove going and we’d have some fried taters and elk. Then we’d wash it down with fresh coffee and back to the broncs. We kept our bedrolls and some groceries at the camp house with a pickup, so we could come to headquarters a couple times a week. Ron and I enjoyed each other’s company as we rode those colts out through the pines and on bigger circles up in the aspens. We talked about Will James, Kit Carson and many more of our heroes who had put out tracks in that same range. We kept a couple of our top mounts over at Castle Rock but we went through most of August riding those young horses and putting miles on them. We were in a mighty pretty mountain range, always seeing elk, deer, turkey, and pretty often, bear. It was a good August and ■ one I’ll never forget.

Io the Point

On Being Tardy . . .

O

S W E R S' A S

by Caren Cowan, Exec. Director, New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Assn.

here used to be a saying in Cochise County that when the Cowans arrived, you could close the door because no one else was coming. That wasn’t because the Cowans were so important – it was because they were generally late.

Whenever we went almost anywhere there was always a crisis that had to be dealt with first. Haul a load of water, heifers to be checked, or the absolute best one was that if we were going to a rodeo or a steer show, the lights on the trailer always required an overhaul. Generally that was in the middle of the night and there was not great certainty that they would work for the entire trip.

One of my favorite stories was when Daddy was supposed to be a pallbearer at someone’s last gathering. As he and mother skidded into the parking lot just in time for Daddy to take his place in the procession, Mother took a bit more time. As she encountered the funeral director, she made a comment about Daddy being late to his own funeral. “Not if I have anything to do with it,” he retorted.

I have had the terrible habit of being late for most of my life. Often it was not a little late, but really late. A friend noted the other day that people who were habitually late were generally that way always.

Luckily, and embarrassingly, I had another friend who did a pretty good job of breaking me to lead and be on time. Sometime soon after I went to work for the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association (NMCGA), I was called to the New Mexico Department of Agriculture in Las Cruces for a briefing on the new concept of carbon credit trading. As usual, there seemed there was something pressing at the office I needed to do before I started the drive down, so I left about an hour later than I should have.

No big deal I thought, I wasn’t too interested in the subject anyway. I called Jeff Witte’s assistant Yvonne Alexander to tell her that I was running late. I suggested they start the meeting without me and I would catch up when I got there.

That was not what Jeff decided to do.

When I walked in, an hour late, there was a

T

60

OCTOBER 2012

room full of people who had been cooling their heels waiting for me for that hour.

Totally mortified I sat down and pulled out my knitting as the meeting started. The seat left for me was near the speaker.

I guess I doubly offended him. At the end of his presentation I began asking questions on how the credits would be handled on federal and state trust lands.

He looked down at me and said, “so you WERE paying attention.”

While I haven’t managed to work the “15 minutes early or you are late concept” into my scheduling, my arrivals are timed much closer to the beginning of appointments.

The reasons for these stories are twofold. First, for those of you who are habitually late, there is hope for you and I don’t really recommend Mr. Witte’s option for learning your lesson. It would be much less painless if you just started planning better on your own.

But the main reason is to encourage everyone to vote EARLY. This is one election that we cannot afford to miss or let anyone stay home. It is not impossible for there to be a snow or ice storm on Election Day and you’d just be better off to go ahead and vote early.

“Get The Lead Out”

The old phrase used to tell people to hurry up has a new meaning these days according to Emily Miller, a senior editor for the Opinion pages at The Washington Times.

Should President Obama win in November, Miller writes, it’s a certainty he’ll try once again to ban lead ammunition. Just two months after he moved into the White House, the National Park Service suddenly announced it was banning lead bullets from its parks. The blowback from sportsmen was intense, so the agency backed down. Mr. Obama surely will exert “more flexibility” in a second term to accomplish this backdoor assault on the Second Amendment.

Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) introduced a bill to make sure that can’t happen. Just before the Senate adjourned in late September to go campaigning, the body voted

84 to 7 to take up the Sportsmen Act during the November 13 lame-duck session.

It’s a priority for a number of pro-hunting groups, including the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).

“The threat to ban use of traditional ammunition without sound science is the most significant threat facing the firearms and ammunitions industries today,” NSSF senior vice president Larry Keane told The Washington Times. “If the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) were to ban traditional ammunition using the Toxic Substances Control Act, it would destroy the ammunition industry in the U.S., crater conservation funding and create massive supply shortages for consumers.”

The ban is a priority for radical groups like PETA, the Humane Society and Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) that want legislation to prohibit anything but “nontoxic bullets.” This is mostly an excuse to sue ammo manufacturers out of business. In June, CBD filed suit against the EPA for not addressing the “toxic lead in hunting ammunition that frequently poisons our wildlife.”

Opponents are ridiculing CBD’s “Get the Lead Out” campaign. “The notion that you can get lead out of the environment showed these people should not have passed their high-school chemistry test,” said Mr. Keane. “Lead is in the periodical table. There is no more lead in the environment than there was 100 years ago.”

Don Saba, a research scientist and National Rifle Association board member, said that these groups are deliberately attempting to confuse the public into thinking the lead in bullets is the same as lead paint that is harmful to children.

“The lead that is used in ammunition is metallic lead and is a very inert material that does not dissolve in water and it is not absorbed by plants or animals,” Dr. Saba explained. “There is a tremendous toxicity difference between the highly inert metallic lead used in ammunition and the highly toxic lead compounds used in legacy leaded paints.” continued on page 61

Point

continued from page 60

The ammunition demonized by the self-styled environmentalists happens to fund highly successful animal-conservation efforts. The Pittman-Robertson Act of 1937 set up an excise tax, now 11 percent, on ammunition and long guns and 10 percent for handguns. The resulting $7 billion in revenue over the years has gone toward restoring habitats for wild turkey, bald eagle, duck, elk and antelope populations.

America’s ammunition industry works on high volume and thin margins, manufacturing 9 billion cartridges a year, 95 percent of which have lead components.

Lead is used in bullets because it is the perfect material — dense, heavy, soft and inexpensive. Asked for an alternative, Winchester Ammunition engineer Mike Stock replied, “We’d use gold if it was cheap enough to make bullets.”

The NSSF estimates a lead ban would result in tens of thousands of jobs lost as prices would necessarily rise 190 percent.

Mr. Obama has killed enough jobs in his first term. The last thing our economy needs is another assault on successful businesses. continued on page 70

Feral Swine – A Growing Problem for New Mexico here is no question that feral swine are a growing problem in New Mexico. In addition to spreading disease, the animals destroy pasture and fences, prey on livestock and wildlife and compete for forage and water and spread invasive weeds. Due to the potential risk feral swine pose to animal health, the New Mexico Livestock Board – charged with protecting the health of New Mexico’s livestock industry – recently passed a rule designating the species a pest and clarifying that feral swine are not considered livestock or protected as livestock in the state.

Feral swine can carry numerous diseases – including tuberculosis, brucellosis,

T

and foot and mouth disease – which could have a huge impact on livestock in New Mexico. “It’s only a matter of time before we have a serious disease outbreak due to our growing population of feral swine,” said Dr. Dave Fly, New Mexico State Veterinarian. “They are scavengers, so they pick up everything that’s around. They have a high propensity to carry disease, and we know they are proliferating.”

Wildlife Services, an agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) tests a portion of the feral swine killed in New Mexico for disease. Feral

swine in some parts of the United States have been found to carry H3N2, the swine influenza virus, although it has not yet been found in New Mexico. However, Neospora caninum, a protozoan parasite which causes abortions in cattle and is believed to be the leading cause of abortions in dairy cattle has been found in New Mexico’s feral swine. “This parasite is something that producers should be aware of, and it certainly has the ability to impact New Mexico’s livestock industry,” said Alan May, State Director of Wildlife Services.

Each year, feral hogs cause over $1 billion in damages nationwide. Females can have up to two litters each year, and in New Mexico, their range has expanded from 2 to 17 counties in the past seven years. “There is absolutely nothing good about feral hogs,” May said. “They are a public health threat, as well as an environmental and economic disaster. In other areas of the country where they’ve had feral hogs for a while, hunters have begun to realize that these invasive, beasts are not an opportunity, they are a very serious problem.”

Feral swine have have gradually spread across the country, and are now found in almost every state. In New Mexico, the arid climate and lack of water has helped keep population densities down – an advantage

when it comes to control and/or eradication. Currently, many populations in the state are found in river corridors, including the Pecos River, Canadian River, and in the Rio Grande valley, but they are quickly expanding their range.

Although there is no active eradication work going on in New Mexico at this time, Secretary of Agriculture Jeff Witte recently formed a task force to bring together state, federal and industry agencies and organizations on the issue. The group is currently working on a statewide eradication plan. “Everyone agrees that New Mexico has a problem but, as with most new initiatives, funding is the issue,” May noted.

The sooner action can be taken, the better results will be for the state. “This is a good opportunity to get a handle on the situation. If we took aggressive action now, we could push them back, or at least hold them to certain areas in the state,” Fly said. “However, if we don’t take action soon, the population will get to the point that we can’t get rid of them.”

“Right now, eradication is doable, but the longer we wait, the more problems we are going to have and the more difficult eradication will be,” May agreed.

Even with limited funding, state and federal agencies, tribes, and sportsmen’s organizations are pooling their resources and cooperating to address localized damage caused by feral swine, and to try and prevent this destructive species from spreading to new areas.

Helping people deal with problem wildlife is part of the job for Wildlife Services, and the agency will help people with feral swine problems on a case-by-case basis. They are especially interested in hearing about new, or unmapped, populations. To request Wildlife Services’ assistance with feral swine damage, or to report feral swine in new areas, people may call the Wildlife Services state office at ■ 505/346-2640.

that the economic analysis be completed and made available for public comment at the time of publication of a proposed rule to designate critical habitat.” —Preamble to FWS–R9–ES–2011–0073, Proposed Federal Rulemaking published Aug. 24, 2012.

If this is all you read about this proposed rules change, you’d think, “OK, no big deal this makes sense. We want the economic impact analysis of Federal rules to be complete—otherwise why bother.

We also want to see that complete analysis before the public comment period so we can actually comment on the estimated cost and impact of proposed rules.”

But according to a newly released Stoel Rives analysis of the impact and implications of the proposed critical habitat rules change, the secret is you would be mistaken.

Critical habitat protection has been one of the most controversial and intrusive provisions of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), write Jim Hunt, theenergycollective.com . The goal of the provision was to avoid doing more harm to endangered species thus giving them an opportunity to sustain themselves. The ESA says Federal agencies may not take actions that destroy or adversely affect critical habitat. There is nothing wrong with this goal, but the way it has been applied has resulted in situations where the designation amounts to a virtual taking of private property for a public purpose.

This critical habitat designation provision also creates opportunity for abuse of discretion if Federal agencies or environmental interveners use it to coerce outcomes that undermine the economics of proposed projects. We often refer to this as NIMBY or other pejoratives, but they are symptoms of a Federal environmental regulatory process that is out of balance. The review of the real implications of this proposed rules change is a good case study in the creeping process of environmental GOTCHA played out by rulemaking.

To balance the coercive potential of critical habitat designation, the Stoel Rives analysis reminds us that the ESA requires Federal agencies to “consider potential economic, national security, and other relevant impacts”. This includes economic impacts to private landowners and developers. And in cases where this balancing of interests finds that there are more economic, national security or other benefits from doing so the Federal Agencies “may exclude an area from critical habitat” if those benefits outweigh the benefits of continued on page 73

including it in the designation.

See why this is so contentious?

The case law is littered with conflicting decisions in these matters. And that too creates opportunities for mischief. Here we can even sympathize with Federal bureaucrats trying to write rules that will apply to all when a decision in one Federal court may be at odds with a decision interpreting the same provision differently in another. That is what apparently provoked this proposed rulemaking.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the most overturned court in the nation, adopted a “baseline approach” to critical habitat designation which allowed the Federal agencies to consider only ‘incremental impacts’ in their economic impact analysis of critical habitat designation.

The practical effect of the ruling in the Western states where it was applicable was to enable the agencies to calculate the cost of a rule using minor additional administrative costs rather than the total regulatory burden. The result , of course, was much more critical habitat was found to pass the cost benefit test and many more landowners were suing to stop it in Federal court.

In the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals the same question was litigated and appealed with the opposite result. The Tenth circuit said the baseline incremental approach used in the Ninth Circuit was unlawful precisely because it ignored the full cost of regulatory burdens in measuring the overall cost and benefits of the critical habitat designation as required by the ESA. So what? So the proposed rulemaking seeks to adopt the Ninth Circuit opinion allowing this incremental baseline approach and reject the Tenth circuit opinion. If this proposed rule is adopted it surely will be litigated to the DC circuit where Federal rules are appealed and perhaps then onto the U.S. Supreme Court.
