Pretty soon the days will be shorter and the holidays will be here!

Where has the year gone? I know I had great plans back in January to accomplish so much in 2013 and now it’s September and I realize that I only got a portion of those goals finished. I always talk about the importance of setting goals, making plans, mapping out a strategy, to get from point A to point B. I know if I hadn’t done that in January, I would be even farther behind now so I look on the bright side and can see that, yes! I did get a lot done! That makes me feel a lot better!!

As the year winds down, it is also a good time to reflect on what we have to be thankful for. Don’t wait until Thanksgiving – take time NOW to say Thank You to those who have made a difference in your life. It doesn’t have to be something big, it could be someone who said “good luck”or “good job”; someone who helped you when you needed it; even someone who smiled and made you feel good. And those close to you, your parents, family, and friends, breeders you work with and who help you out with your projects, all the people who put on those jackpot shows, learning events, and fairs, they provide the opportunities for you to do something you love – raising and showing livestock. And what about the buyers of your market animals at your fair? We are still so fortunate to have that opportunity available so don’t just assume buyers are going to show up and bid on your animals. Take the time to talk to them and explain why you love to raise your projects and how important it is. Your enthusiasm will bring them in and keep them supporting all youth in agriculture! It's a “Good Thing” all the way around!

Making a difference in Nevada County

By Michael Bradley and according to a 2009 economic impact report produced by the California Department of Food and Agriculture the fair generated $20,813,000 in spending activity for that year alone. As we know, the majority of those dollars are widespread but certainly make a difference for this part of California and the state as a whole.

These are impressive numbers when one considers the multiple challenges that all fairs have to turn a profit or just keep the lights on. Expenses are very high and the challenges many. The short list includes government regulations and policy, continual facility up keep, insurance costs, energy expense, extraordinary weather conditions, high labor costs and now, the near elimination of any state funding. All fairs in the state must look to the future with a new approach to what they reflect and how they operate to ultimately survive.

All Fairs in California are challenged to survive in our competitive business climate, while striving to be relevant within their communities. Responsible management, community connections and innovative solutions will allow for success in the future.

Long considered one of the most picturesque county fairs in California, the Nevada County Fair was honored with the cherished title of “California’s Most Beautiful Fairgrounds” many decades ago by the California State Legislature. When considering that California has several fairgrounds that are blessed to be located on the sandy beaches of the Pacific, nestled within the mountains, or adjacent to beautiful valleys and oak studded hillsides, this title is quite unique. The 75-year-old fairgrounds are located on the outskirts of Grass Valley, CA and is home to one of the largest bronze statues in the state. Known as the Gentle Giant Monument, this incredible work of art depicts a massive Draft Horse pulling huge logs and stands at the entrance of the grounds. One of the signature events of the fall within this part of California is the Draft Horse Classic, produced by the fair. The Monument symbolizes the spirit of California’s pioneers and the Draft Horse, which was used for many years in mining, logging and farm operations. The fall Classic event is always in September and has become a Nevada County must see experience.

Sandy Woods, CEO of the Nevada County Fair states, “Fairs are a very unique business model in that all of the revenue is dependent on a few days of the year. If during a five-day event all temperatures are in excess of 100 degrees or are impacted by rain, attendance falls and so does revenue. It’s nearly impossible to recapture that loss during the fair.” As a result managers such as Woods “must become more entrepreneurial” and direct efforts to the rest of the year by investing in interim events to offset expense and bring in more dollars.

Beyond its natural beauty of more than 3,000 trees, on 100 acres of manicured grounds, a 4.5 acre lake and well-kept classic county fair buildings, this fair has made a difference within its foothill community. Nevada County represents more than 98,000 citizens september/october 2013

Woods has championed these events on her fairgrounds, such as the Country Christmas Faire and the Draft Horse Classic. Beyond these events the fair operates a profitable R.V. Park and like 20

many fairs they have established a Foundation to assist in raising money through donations as directed by the foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to funding projects that will enhance and improve the beauty and maintenance of the fairgrounds. This has been a successful endeavor.

was overwhelmingly popular. National media coverage helped attendance. The fair, the supportive community and elephants all became winners as a result of the fair’s unprecedented leadership in approaching a very sensitive issue. They took a stand and made a difference in Nevada County. More importantly they set a precedence in standing for “what is right” that will directly and indirectly assist all fairs, the food animal industry, livestock shows and exotic animal conservation and education activities.

They also cemented another year of community connections and partnerships.

When asked what the overall reason for a fair’s ultimate success becomes, Woods is quick to point out “a fair is successful because its leadership has nurtured community engagement and support and reflects the image and needs of that community”. Without this support the fair will struggle.

While standing your ground against animal activists in support of elephant rides may appear to be a stretch for those of you involved with breeding and showing livestock, understand that this is a line in the sand that will make a difference very soon. When the same activists groups attempt to shut down a hog show, a beef cattle jackpot event or Junior Livestock auction we will remember the responsible efforts of the Nevada County Fair.

Applaud this important spirit and courage as it will reap valuable results for tomorrow.

This Fair maintains strong ties to the local FFA Chapters, 4-H Clubs and Grange. As a result, the quality of livestock, Ag Mechanics, still exhibits and other youth programs excel in terms of participation level, excellence and educational value. The fair works diligently to include all sectors of the diverse county as participants and fans.

The Nevada County Fair demonstrated this support unlike any fair in recent times in 2013. During this past spring, the fair had secured a contract with Have Trunk Will Travel, a long time California based Company to provide Elephant Rides during the fair. Have Trunk Will Travel is owned and operated by Gary and Kari Johnson of Riverside County. The Johnsons are extremely well respected in International elephant circles as well as among veterinary and zoological park professionals. They have been engaged in leading specie preservation programs at their farm. They provide public ride activities and educational information to fairs, the movie industry and conservation officials.

From April through the end of the fair , the staff and Board were inundated with emails, Facebook posts and public meeting confrontations with representatives of groups in opposition to the Elephant Rides being at the fair. Primary concern of these groups was for public safety and so called animal cruelty. Leading the extremely aggressive protest effort were groups such as Animal Defense Fund International, Born Free USA and Performing Animal Welfare Society among others. The concerns were unfounded, however, this created quite a stir within the local community and on a national level. The Fair leadership and all stakeholders became engaged and took a responsible approach to the situation while considering all concerns and how their decision would impact the fair, the industry, the elephants and the community. Most importantly after months of organized activity from the groups, the Fair Board took a stand and decided to uphold their earlier decision of having the elephants at fair. Attentive to all persons first amendment rights, peaceful protests continued during the fair at the main gate.

In the end, the Johnsons provided a safe program that enhanced the fairgoer’s experience and showcased a beautiful endangered species for all to enjoy and appreciate. It 21

Keepin' It Real With Whitney from Earn Purple

ask “Is everyone okay?” The pit in your chest settles a tick when they answer back, “Still breathing...”

You gather together to walk up the basement stairs, terrified to see the aftermath of the tornado. You open the door to open sky where once the roof and walls of your house stood. The reality hits, and makes it hard to breathe, like falling and landing hard on your knees. It knocks the wind from your chest.

Staying True

In the next couple days, people from all over come to help clean up the disaster and offer you a place to sleep, food to eat, and clothing to wear.

Their abundance of compassion and love is simply overwhelming. You treated people well and helped others when you had the opportunity.

Now the favor is being returned by those you helped, and even by those you have never met.

By Whitney DeMaria The cry of the warning siren pierces your soul. Your body immediately goes into fight-or-flight mode. The tornado is headed straight towards your neighborhood. Your family rushes down to the basement with you gripping your beloved house pet as you rush to close the door behind you.

I was inspired to write this article by the destruction of the tornadoes in the Midwest. It affected me on a deep emotional level. And I know it is home for a lot of people in the industry.

The howl of the wind, like a freight train in the distance, is the only thing you can hear. As you cuddle your family close, you pray we all will be safe. As the tornado approaches, you can hear the beams of your home creaking with the force of the wind. Suddenly the lights go out, and you hear a window shatter, then another, then another.

Even though I didn’t experience the destruction, I can still imagine the impact of the would-be loss of my life’s work in one instant. Thinking about the disaster, I began to realize all we truly have is our family, friends, and our self-defined internal values.

You tighten your hold on your family. You sit helplessly as everything you have worked hard for is ripped away from you. All that matters right now is that you and your family are safe. As the sound dies, you

It made me stop and ask myself.

The value of my word, do I follow through with what I say I will do?

The value of my integrity, can I be trusted? The value of my willingness to help others, do I help others when they need my help? The value of my honor, do I live my life with good intentions to help the world and all those who live here? Or do I live with selfish intentions to do good only for myself, no matter the circumstances, or consequences? The value of staying true, do I stay true to my defined values? Or am I easily swayed by others and material things I want now?

Nothing Makes Hair Happier

I know no one is perfect, and we all make mistakes from time to time.

It’s never too late. If you want to live the values I talked about earlier here are some great things to start on today!

Some of the easiest things you can do: give a smile, open a door for someone, and donate change to a less fortunate person. Or if you see one of your peers loading or unloading their trailer, stop and offer to help. Or if you see one of your peers having trouble with an animal, help them. There will be a day when you will be at a show and you will need the same help. The people you helped will likely be the ones to show up in your time of need.

These little random acts of kindness could set off a chain reaction that could wrap around the world. They do not cost a thing and are easy to do. And you will be surprised at how good they will make you feel!

september/october 2013

The next thing I am going to talk about is, in my opinion, the strongest way to stick to your values - staying true.

How to stay true you ask? Staying true to your values and morals is really about knowing yourself deep down. You don’t need to change your beliefs and actions to be liked and accepted. You don’t need to be like someone else. Who you are is brilliant, and it’s just what the world needs! Be your authentic self, and see the world take on a whole new meaning. Opportunities to shine and help the world will open up to you!

If you are ever in doubt of what to do, ask yourself: “If everything was taken from you, your house, all your material things, your livestock, would you still be proud of the person you are?” It will always keep you on the right track, and help you stay true to who you are and your values!

CJLA News AND UPDATES!

It’s official! Summer is over and School is in session! Show days are not over though and there are still several more CJLA Sanctioned Shows to attend! Be sure to check out the Upcoming Events in this issue and also the Show Information on the CJLA Website.

CJLA. And check on the website for updates and news between issues of this magazine. If you need to update or add an email address so you receive e-blasts from us, please let us know!

Contact Mary Ann Bush for Points, Rules, and Show Information (831) 623-4316

FYI – Oktoberfest Boer Goat Show/CJLA Mkt. Goat Show is being held in conjunction with the Northern Exposure Show in Orland on Nov. 9th. Contact Sue Hobby for information on entries, etc.

E-mail to cjlainfo@yahoo.com Heidi Beljean for Membership, Sponsorship, and for all other CJLA questions (408) 888-2503

In this issue, ALL SHOWS THROUGH SURF-N-TURF ARE INCLUDED IN THE POINT TOTALS. If you have earned points at more than 8 shows, your top 8 are posted. Keep in mind that as you attend more than 8 shows, your score can change as lower point shows are dropped and replaced with your higher point shows. Another thing I want to mention is that it is very difficult to compare point scores between members unless you know how many shows another member has earned points at. One member may have earned points at fewer than 8 shows and that is their current total whereas another member has 8 shows included.

This is the biggest reason points and standings can change so much throughout the 2nd half of the year. For example, a person with 6 shows counted now could go to two more shows (for their 8 shows), earn 80 points at each and jump their total up by 160 points! If you have questions about how the points work, please contact me and I will explain further.

As we approach the end of the year, it is time to start fund-raising for the CJLA Award Banquet. It has always been our goal to reward all our members for their achievements in the CJLA and in order to do this; we rely on the generosity and support of our many donors. It is REALLY IMPORTANT that every member do their part to spread the word about the CJLA and ask for support.

We know everyone is bombarded with requests for donations and fund-raising is not easy, BUT, this organization is for you so please pitch in and see what you can get done. If every member got just one donation, it would be enough to cover the award expenses! Please watch your emails and mailboxes for updates on fund-raising projects and sponsorships.

tales from the

real world

By Brooke Bennett

habit helped them excel their career and the overwhelming response will be through networking. In order to succeed you must continually connect with new people, cultivate emerging relationships, and leverage your network.

Next time you are at livestock show or 4-H or FFA event, make an effort to have a conversation with the judge or a leader running the event. These individuals could one day serve as your college advisor or mentor and could help you shape your future. These individuals can also serve as a great resource when it comes to applying for colleges, scholarships, and future internships. I met my own college advisor, Dr. Dave Nichols, when he served as a judge at the National Junior Shorthorn Show the summer I was applying for colleges.

Thanks to his guidance and advice I was able to get into my dream school, and I still go to him for advice when I need it.

It’s a Small, Small World: The Six (Or Fewer) Degrees of Separation

Get Involved

I’m sure you all have heard of the six degrees of separation. In case you haven’t, it is the theory that everyone and everything is six steps, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world, so that a chain of “a friend of a friend” statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps. While this tends to ring true in most aspects of everyday life, there are far fewer steps separating those involved in the show world and agriculture industry.

Getting involved in clubs, sports, work, or other pursuits outside the classroom can give you new skills and help you learn about yourself.

This is also a great opportunity to expand your network and connections.

Extracurricular activities also play a part when you apply for scholarships and colleges. Most college applications ask about your activities. That’s because the things you do in your free time reveal a lot about you — in ways that grades and test scores can’t. Your accomplishments outside the classroom show what you’re passionate about and that you have qualities valued by colleges.

I have never taken the six degrees of separation seriously, or even paid attention to it for that matter until recently. Earlier this summer I made my first job change in my professional career from my first real “big kid” job as the director of communications at the North American Limousin Foundation (NALF) to accepting a new position as a public relations and advertising account manager at Osborn + Barr Communications in Kansas City. Although I am no longer directly connected to the show world through my career and I am now tackling the agriculture industry from a different angle, it amazes me daily just how tightly knit this industry is that we are all involved.

Whether it is a judging team, sports team, or club, go back to the degrees of separation. These fellow teammates or fellow club members could one day possibly turn out to be a co-worker, boss, or an important business connection.

Step Out of Your Comfort Zone In an increasingly competitive, cautious, and accelerated world, those who are willing to take risks and step out of their comfort zone into the discomfort of uncertainty will be those who will reap the biggest rewards. In other words, one needs and should feel “uncomfortable” in order to advance and achieve.

As I was researching and interviewing for new jobs to take my professional career to the next level, I started to realize just how small of a world it is. I discovered that the six degrees of separation does, in fact, exist; however when it comes to the agriculture industry and show world there are far fewer than six degrees of separation separating you from everyone else.

Continuously stepping out of your comfort zone allows you to become more adaptable to change and surrounding environments. You are forced to stretch your abilities and talents in new and more creative ways. This, in turn, gives you the confidence to perform outside of your arena. You are inevitably interacting with a new set of people, and you add another layer to the six degrees of separation theory.

When I interviewed for what is now my current job, I just so happened to interview with three separate individuals who saw my resume and knew people at my former job or past internships and called former co-workers at those businesses and organizations to reference check. I really have to thank those who were NOT on my reference lists for the positive recommendations they gave me.

Agriculture is a world within a world, and sometimes the number of steps of separation shrinks to a much lower number…like one. I found out first hand this week when the world shrank mightily. I attended a National Agri-Martketing Association (NAMA) seminar here in Kansas City. As a dinner mixer, attendees drew for tables.

I didn’t know anyone at my table, and as we were introducing ourselves, I discovered that one of my tablemates was the former housemate of my brother, Jared. They were both FFA instructors at Hanford High. I never had met Dennis because when I would go home to California for visits, it was usually during holidays and I stayed around home and hearth. Dennis left teaching to pursue a different career. As a matter of fact, he is going to be best man at Jared’s and his fiancé Courtney’s wedding.

Small world? Definitely!

Now that I have come to the realization of just how small this world is and how intertwined each segment of the agriculture industry is, it makes me wish I had done things a little bit differently as I was going through my years in high school, college and graduate school.

Here are a few things I wish I had done more of over the years:

Network, Network, Network Networking is critical because more times than not it’s not about what you know, it’s who you know. Networking is about making connections and building enduring, mutually beneficial relationships.

Relationships are the catalyst for success and people do business with those they like and trust. Ask any agriculture teacher, politician, community leader or successful businessperson which skill or september/october 2013

"Sittin' Round the Showbox"

with Celeste Settrini

Things Learned from a Rodeo Bullfighter I recently lost my dad in a tragic accident ~ from the moment I found my dad on our ranch my life changed instantly. I was always one to worry about everything – absolutely everything.

Those who personally know me know how everything always has to be perfect, on time, just right. After going through this horrific journey I realized first hand that God is in charge and he can give and can take away at a moments notice. I have known this but until you experience it, the kind that is right in your face you don’t actually realize it. I vowed to myself that through this tragedy I would find good. And I did. I just did not realize it would be so very soon nor expected. I re-learned a lot of things that I always knew however needed to be reminded of. For I am grateful for a posse of young men I had the pleasure of being with for a few days during the Salinas California Rodeo. They are bullfighters; they not only save the lives of those riding bulls keeping them out of harm's way, but they also have the ability to save others with their attitudes on life. I have been fortunate enough to assist some of these young men with their marketing programs. In turn they have assisted me probably more than they ever imagined.

Being so young and carefree they have little to worry about except where their next entry fee is coming from or if their car will get them to the next rodeo without breaking down. They live life with reckless abandon and I love it!

The Lord God is first and foremost Be true to who you are Friendships are the cornerstone of life Be a good sport always in winning and in defeat Eat healthy Work out each and every day Commit to your vision Have a true passion for what you believe in Try – the deep in your tummy kind to be your best • Possess self confidence at all times even when you feel broken I found this quote and felt it so very appropriate for what I am feeling.

“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”

- Albert Schweitzer From the bottom of my heart I thank each one of you boys for reeducating me about what life is truly all about ~ for I don’t even think you know the impact you made upon me. God Bless each of you, may you be protected each and every step of your journey.

We all are involved in a bigger family, our fair/jackpot/livestock family and those folks are with you always. Hang tight now to the friendships you are creating with your show friends, for they are all that is good in life. They will be with you as you grow older and face the challenges that life will bring to you. They will make it easier for you.

Selecting Your Project

offers and how steers can be classified. An example would be that some fairs show by 4-H and FFA divisions and within those two, it’s a weight-only class breakdown. Other fairs recognize 4-H and FFA but break the steers down by color or breed or both. So if you have the opportunity to show a colored or a black cross or a British steer, it might be advantageous for you to show a real nice Angus or Shorthorn steer, which might be cheaper yet competitive enough to be in the top of the division and sell earlier in the auction. These are all points to contemplate and understand before you show up at a sale to look.

You see an ad for a sale or a private treaty sale, and now that you are there looking at the calves, what do you look for? Once I know the size I need and the color or breed I am looking for I then start to break it down into simple categories that are critical to success later on for the steer. The first is try and get an idea about the temperament of the calf: is it calm, nervous, mean, scared or just anti-human interaction? This is very critical especially when you consider the size, age and experience of the showman. There have been lots of “great ones” that never could get settled down and even handled in an appropriate manner to make it to the show or show ring. They don’t hand out Group 1, 1st Place or Grand Champion ribbons at the local auction yard. Once we have established the steers with an acceptable attitude, then my next focus is on the calf’s structural makeup, such as feet, legs and movement. For me this is the most critical at a young age because cattle don’t get better structurally as they get older and heavier, they always get worse. So the front feet should be pointing straight forward and the same with the rear feet as well. The front knee joint should set back and relax rather than straight or slightly pushing forward; this is a sign of being too straight in the shoulder angle and will only get worse. The rear legs should be straight and strong from the hock down on the stand but have flexibility and give and cushion while on the move. This is the steer’s shock absorber and is necessary for continued sound movement. If he is too straight from the hock to the ground he will have labored movement, no flexibility, swollen joints and really struggle at 1300 pounds. When on the move they should place their rear feet in the same prints that have been left by the fronts — that’s easy moving. I do not get too concerned how wide they walk from behind because cattle travel fine and still have their feet placement close together. How many cow trails have you seen that have 2 paths rather than one?

By Joel Judge The fall is another annual rite of passage for most cattle exhibitors, the time to go and search out next year’s project calf. There are several factors that you need to consider before you begin traveling and searching: When is your fair, what do want to pay, what do I want to end up placing, how the temperament is, how the calf is physically and phenotypically. I will try and create a simple yet effective checklist and timeline to follow in order for you to be successful this next year.

The next things I look at are all phenotypical, such as smooth shoulder, straight top line, square hip, and overall balance from the side view. They don’t have to be a real freak through their neck, but a nice clean front end helps with balance and eye appeal. I believe it’s important to make sure that they have plenty of body shape and have plenty of dimension in their fore rib and flank.

This correlates to their ability to eat feed and consume enough to gain the 2.5 pounds per day that you need. Those steers that I have fed over time that look real rectangular and sharp fronted generally were tight in their fore rib and we always struggled with feed consumption and gain. The last is muscle shape; you would like a steer to have plenty of shape through his top and down to his stifle. This is a trait that we over emphasize in selection and generally compromise the others listed above for. How many times have you heard, “wow that steer has a big butt and top,” failing to recognize that he can’t move at all. Those calves generally always get beat. Keep it all in combination and relative to the size and type of calf you are looking for. Freaks seldom ever win.

The first decision that must be made is what your goal for the project is within the coming year, such as trying to make group one, trying to win your class or division or try and win the show. This has an impact on the animal you select and also an impact most likely on the price you have to pay as well. Once you know what you goals are for the end result, you must make sure when your fair is so that you select an animal that is the right size but also the correct weight. I would say that most steers today will gain an average of 2.5 lbs per day every day that you have them, as long as they have adequate feed and water to do so. I would suggest that for most steers the target weight for their endpoint should be 1300 pounds. That will allow for times in which they may go off feed due to heat or weather change, etc. Now count backwards what that gain looks like to the present day that you are looking at calves, and you will have a good idea what they need to weigh at that point. Once you know the fair date and have your goals set and have a budget you need to know what format or divisions your fair september/october 2013

In conclusion, there are so many things to consider when selecting this year’s project calf, but it is so much easier if you have a plan and a list and set some targets and goals before you jump in and start buying one. There are many reputable breeders and project leaders who can help you out; don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for help. I hope this gives you something to consider and good luck in 2013-2014.

Stoller Jump Start Your LEADership Award Presented at 2013 National Junior Angus Show Shelby Burrus of Tacoma, Wash., was the first winner of the Gary M. Stoller Jump Start Your LEADership Award, presented at the 2013 National Junior Angus Show in Kansas City, Mo., during the awards ceremony July 10.

name the Angus Foundation as a charitable organization to receive contributions from friends in memory of a beloved family member,” says Milford Jenkins, Angus Foundation president. “Having personally known Gary, Davy, Brian and Tiffany for several years and knowing of Gary’s passion and interest in helping Angus youth, his family’s wishes for these funds to support Angus youth attending the LEAD Conference is a wonderful tribute to Gary and his legacy.”

Established with contributions from the Stoller family and friends to the Angus Foundation in memory of the late Gary M. Stoller in 2012, this $500 cash award is given to first or second year attendees to the Leaders Engaged in Angus Development (LEAD) Conference to cover registration fees and travel expenses.

The Gary M. Stoller Jump Start Your LEADership Award is one of three LEAD awards programs. The Gary Brost LEAD Award Endowment Fund allows for two annual awards to NJAA members to support them in attending the conference, and the Pat Grote Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund pays the registration fee for the LEAD Conference to the overall winners in the intermediate steak division of the Auxiliarysponsored All-American Certified Angus Beef® Cook-Off.

The Angus Foundation Scholarship Selection Committee chose the Gary M. Stoller Jump Start Your LEADership Award recipient from a pool of applicants who were required to submit a one-page typed essay that included the following information: why attending LEAD conference is important to me, what I hope to gain by attending LEAD and explanation of financial need.

More details about Angus Foundation scholarships and awards endowments can be found atwww.angusfoundation.org.

Burrus will use the award to attend the 2013 LEAD Conference in New Orleans, La., Aug. 1-4. Two hundred Angus youth attend the LEAD Conference each year. Participants get to take part in leadership workshops, visit Angus and other agricultural operations and network with one another.

The Angus Foundation was established in 1980 as a not-forprofit 501(c)(3) organization to support Angus education, youth and research. To learn more about the Angus Foundation and the programs it supports, log on to www.angusfoundation.org or call 816-383-5100.

Farm Bill Update

By Kirk Kimmelshue

“Passage of a 2013 Farm Bill is the top priority for cattlemen and the House took the unprecedented step in separating the nutrition title from the farm bill, and passing a bill that only encompasses agriculture. This step is a major departure from the usual business of agricultural policy, but I am pleased that cattlemen and women are one step closer toward final legislation, which not only provides certainty for producers, but also incorporates priorities important to the cattle industry,” NCBA President George said.

Earlier in 2013, the Farm Bill legislation that passed out of the House Agriculture Committee failed passage in the United States House of Representatives. At that moment, passage of another bill seemed unlikely at best. However, just a few months later on July 11, 2013, House Republicans passed a version of the bill without the controversial food stamp provisions that held the bill up initially.

Despite veto threats from the White House, Republicans passed a bill that expanded the crop insurance system, but didn’t address provisions regarding food stamps for the poor. Republican leaders passed the bill on a 216-208, party-line vote after two hours of debate where no amendments or changes to the bill were allowed. No Democrats supported the measure.

There is no timetable, so far, for a separate food stamp bill. Democrats and farm groups in opposition to the separation of programs feared the precedent of separation in the legislation would make future Farm Bill negotiations more difficult.

After passage by the House, the next step forward for the legislation would be House-Senate negotiations over a compromise bill, which could provide a possible fork in the road for rural America as leadership in the Senate does not in support the House version of the bill.

Republicans responded to critics of the bill, who argued that omitting the food stamp provisions made the bill unworkable, by saying that food assistance nutrition programs would be handled at a later date.

Republican leaders said they needed a way to start negotiations with the Senate over a compromise bill and that this bill was the pathway forward.

Senate Agriculture chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, a Democrat, said the House bill “is not a real farm bill” but she would do her best to negotiate with the House for a compromise bill. The Senate farm bill, which includes food stamps, saves only $24 billion.

Industry leaders agreed and praised Chairman Frank Lucas (ROklahoma) for salvaging the legislation.

Whether a final compromise bill can pass both chambers of Congress remains to be seen, but in the meantime farmers continue to feed the world and farmers and rancher advocates in Congress continue to battle it out for rural America. Farm groups together hope legislation can be agreed to that will bring certainty to producers nationwide.

“We thank House Agriculture Committee Chairman Lucas of Oklahoma, who in this very difficult environment produced a farm bill that passed out of the House and continues the process toward providing farmers and ranchers the certainty they need,” National Cattlemen’s Beef Association President Scott George said in a statement.

Preserving California’s Fair Network

By Senator Anthony Cannella

the creativity and dedication of our fair boards of directors as well as their management teams and volunteers.

California’s network of agricultural fairs has led the nation in quality, diversity and attendance for almost 100 years. Yet, today, right now, the future of our 78 fairs is in serious jeopardy.

The fair network is strong. In 2013, we project statewide fairtime attendance will reach 14 million. Add in thousands of events and activities that take place year-round on our 76 fair facilities, and you see the strength of the fair network. The challenge is this: The current situation is not sustainable. We need to make significant structural changes to protect our fair assets.

Legislation I introduced in January, Senate Bill 741, represents an important first step in protecting this valuable asset by allowing for greater local control and limiting state intrusion into fair operations.

SB 741 is the first step in rebuilding the fair network. By giving fairs and their local, gubernatorial-appointed boards of directors’ greater control over contracting and procurement, we hope to support greater local efficiency and entrepreneurial creativity.

While our legislature represents many different perspectives, we have been pleased to see broad agreement in both houses on the importance of our fair network. A look at our list of co-authors proves this point. Rural, urban, Republican and Democrat, 17 members of the Senate and Assembly have stepped up to give their support to SB 741 by serving as co-authors.

Building consensus on solutions has not been an easy task. While everyone loves fairs, each stakeholder has a different perspective.

Unions see 30,000 full-time job equivalents. Farmers see an agricultural tradition. Small businesses see a great foundation for sales.

Teachers see a fantastic outdoor classroom. State overseers see valuable assets and an important generator of tax income.

How did our fair network get to this crisis point? It was the proverbial “perfect storm” created by the collision of two key trends—the ongoing downward spiral of horseracing income to the state, and the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

The list goes on, and my team has worked diligently to hear all perspectives and manage our legislation accordingly. In September, we hope to have the final version of SB 741 on the Governor’s Desk for his consideration.

Horseracing funded fairs for 75 years, until 2009 when racing profit margins had become so eroded the legislature shifted funding to the General Fund. In hindsight, the timing for this shift could not have been worse, and, after only two years of support, all funding for fairs was removed from the state budget in 2011.

Meanwhile, the fair season is still underway, and if you haven’t been to a great California fair yet, I encourage you to do so. Fairs encapsulate all that is good about the Golden State—don’t miss them!

The fact that every fair continues to operate and serve their local communities is a testament to the popularity of fair programs, and september/october 2013

down; I’d have to get that old paint off somehow before I could put any more on. Maybe we could find her something at Walmart.”

kathleen's

Korner

Something plastic? Made in China? Why, when we had this family heirloom right before us.

“What about Greg?” I asked.

Greg Wyatt owned a successful auto body shop in town and if anyone could get it show ready, he could. He had history with the little tack box, too. As a ten year-old, we hauled him and his older brother along. They picked brushes out of the box and stored trinkets and mementos in it. They brushed and showed right with the best of them, learning both independence and the responsibility that came with a show string of over twenty head.

Hard-working and resourceful, he turned those skills into a very successful business. If anyone could bring it back to its former glory, Greg could.

Tack Box Requiem

Richard made the call and took the box to Precision Collision with no guarantee that it would be ready in time.

By Kathleen Wood-Vieira

“Paint it red,” I said. Red in memory of Running M Ranch.

Friday evening, we had to have everything packed and ready to go. Creston 4-H’s Saturday gate time was 10:00 am sharp! No excuses! We were to meet with the rest of the 4-H caravan at 9:30. I knew that it was unfair to have Greg push paying work aside for a little ole ugly tack box, but I hoped he would.

Deep in the shed, I found it. Its spray can black paint was peeling and fading, the top covered by a shedding piece of ragged carpet.

A black widow spider poised over her eggs jealously guarded the inside. Maybe it was too far gone, worn out by its years on the road. But it had arrived with the rest of the things, a gunny sack full of wide leather show halters, a grain cooker, the branding iron. A faint aroma of bay rum faintly lingered in the corners.

I arrived home from work, Friday at 6 pm and the setting sun glinted off the most beautiful transformation. Restored and renewed, it was ready for Emily.

We packed the rakes, brooms and feed. Last to go in was the carefully packed refurbished tack box, covered sensibly with a saddle blanket since the paint was still new.

Once it had sported a bright coat of “Chinese Red,” the signature color of the Running M Polled Hereford Ranch. Then, we painted the top “Carribean Blue” and marked it with K-T Polled Herefords for Kate and Trajan. After the kids were up and grown, we loaned it out and it came back with the black paint and carpet.

It was a successful fair and Emily had some champion ribbons stockpiled in the red tack box and some fond memories and new friends stored in her heart.

For the past fifteen years, it sat in the far corner of the shed somehow escaping every trip to the dump. I lugged it out and checked it over. Heavy galvanized steel, straight sides, no rust, but with the carpet and the paint job it was pretty ugly.

Someday, I’ll tell her how her Poppa and Nanna had a fair romance that held together, how they sat on that same box at the same fair and planned a life together.

“Hey, Richard,” I called to my husband, “Think you might be able to clean this thing up for Emily?’

Our granddaughter, Emily, was heading to her first-ever county fair is less than a week and a real tack box would dress up her barn.

Richard looked at the box and I could see he was thinking the same things I was. We remembered our days on the road, unloading the cattle at a new fair each week of the summer, greeting the same friends we saw the week before and each time meeting some new ones.

The little tack box held our brushes and combs, a set of clippers, magic hair potions and became a convenient seat for some very serious conversations.

Probably left over from World War II, Richard’s dad, Manuel, bought the box at the Hanford army surplus store. It was sturdy and just the right size and had to be close to seventy years old.

He shook his head, “I don’t think I have time. That carpet is glued september/october 2013

Boer Goats: Did you know...?

By Iris Lerena, Red Oak Ranch

“Its just good pasture management.”

both Cattle and Boer Goats are shown, include market animals and open breeding shows. In addition to multi-species livestock events, there are also ABGA (American Boer Goat Association) sanctioned shows in many locations throughout the United States where breed class animals are shown.

Many cattle ranchers are finding Boer Goats (meat goats) a compatible grazing companion to cattle. Goats eat what cattle will not, and don’t overgraze, so the grass is left to feed the cattle.

You may ask, “Why would I add meat goats to my herd?” Goat meat is no longer just an ethnic meat source; people all across the nation are adding this delicious healthy red meat to their diet.

Why not cover two meat markets?

A wether is just like a steer and should be fed for butcher process then — the meat is mild, and similar to beef in taste with the texture of pork meat. The demand for this product is growing so fast that there is more demand than product! Please see at the end of this article the USDA comparison chart to see why it has become another healthy choice.

The financial turnaround on meat goats is, as you have seen, faster than cattle, so this may be a welcome addition to your existing business. Another plus is that the vaccinations and dewormers used on cattle are also used on Boer Goats. No need to add another medicine cabinet — you’ve already got everything you need to take care of your goats.

Here is another reason to add this money maker to your existing business. The gestation period for goats is 5 months, and they usually will have twins. These offspring are usually ready for slaughter at 6-7 months. Kids are weaned at 10-12 weeks, and your doe will be ready to rebreed about 2 months thereafter.

To find a breeder of Boer Goats near you, go to the ABGA website at www.ABGA.org. Here you will also find a calendar of events of upcoming shows in your area.

Whether you are interested to produce commercially, or wish to add this species to a show string, there are many show events to exhibit your show string. Fairs and livestock events, where

All Around Kid

Gold for USAAshley and her teammates received three gold medal at the 2013 World Cup in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Going for Gold —

Douglas, at the WestCoast Training Center in her hometown of Livermore. Within the trio, Ashley is the flyer, or partner lifted at the top level of the routines. Together they practice 25-30 hours a week, including special training, with their coach, who is one of the U.S. National Gymnastic coaches.

From the Show ring to Acrobatic Gymnastics

By Nicola Freeman

For Ashley Porter, her days begin like many other junior livestock owners, up by 6 a.m. and at the barns for chores and feeding her and her family’s registered and club calf herd, along with their club lamb flock. Then it’s home and off to school for the seventh grader.

Training takes place year-around, just like raising livestock, and jointly with Ashley’s parents, David and Lori Porter, along with her coaches and teammates, they coordinate trainings, practices and travel to allow Ashley to train and compete in acro, without sacrificing time away from her livestock projects and opportunities to show at various jackpots and fairs.

After the last bell rings, Ashley’s afternoons take her in a much different direction than the cattle and sheep barns, as she devotes over four hours of strenuous and athletically demanding practices in a different barn — with acrobatic gymnastics.

“It has never been a question on not being able to do both,” says David and Lori. “Ashley truly loves showing and gymnastics and has the support of her coaches and family to back her in both arenas. ”

Before Ashley was leading club calves and raising market sheep, she was tumbling, with two other partners in the sport of acrobatic gymnastics, also know as Acro. This gymnastic sport is a competitive partnership combining the strength, flexibility and technical precision of gymnastics with the grace and musicality of dance as well as the trust and camaraderie of a dedicated team of three.

At the California State Fair, you won’t know it, but every afternoon Ashley commuted from Sacrament to Livermore so she could practice with her team and coach, says Lori. “She was happy to do it and knew the importance of being at the fair, but also knew she had to be there for her teammates at the studio, too. Ashley has a great attitude about being able to do both.”

Eight years ago, Ashley witnessed an acrobatic gymnastics performance while at the Alameda County Fair in Livermore, Calif., watching a group compete. One of the gymnasts also happened to be a member of the livestock judging team that Ashley’s mom, Lori coached. Ashley’s acrobatic gymnastic career began at that county fair and since then has taken her around the world.

The time and effort has proven to be victorious for Ashley and her teammates. She has competed in meets throughout the U.S. and the team earned a spot on the U.S. National Acro Team. Together they U.S.A. at the 2013 Sofia World Cup in Sofia, Bulgaria this past May, bringing home three gold medals. This was Ashley’s first international competition.

According to the USA Gymnastics, to describe acrobatic gymnastics, think of a combination of artistic gymnastics, pairs figure skating and Cirque du Soleil acrobatics and choreography. The competitors tell a story of their performance, while capturing the audience’s attention with dynamic and graceful balance and skills. Currently, 53 countries in the world officially practice the discipline of acrobatic gymnastics.

A huge honor has been the ability to train with the very best in the gymnastic world. Ashley, along with her partners have been invited for the past two years to attend the U.S. Gymnastics Training Center for USA Gymnastics, at the Károlyi Ranch, Huntsville, Texas. During the intense week of training, last year Ashley was able to get a tour of the ranch. You simply can’t take the love of livestock out of her, and she ran into the renowned past U.S. gymnastic Coach Béla Károlyi while he was out on his

four-wheeler working on the ranch! It seems that acrobatic gymnastics and livestock always find a connection with Ashley.

Outside of the Acro world, Ashley devotes as much time as she can to her family’s livestock operations. She prides herself in helping her brother, Joe, as he will be preparing to walk into a show ring next year.

Path to Gold: Ashley Porter • 12 years old

“Ashley has been helping Joe with his showmanship skills,” said Lori, “They have a good partnership and she has high hopes for him being a great showman, too.”

• 7th grader, straight A student • Acrobatic Gymnast • 8 years of competition in US and Abroad • Member of U.S. National Acro Team

Ashley’s accomplishments have continued into the show ring, with having the reigning Supreme Champion Market steer at the Alameda County Fair in 2012 and 2013.

Additionally, she has taken home the Bred & Owned Champion Market Lamb division in 2012 and had the Reserve Grand Champion Market Lamb at her country fair, with her cousin taking the Grand Champion honor.

And her participation doesn’t end at her county fair, Ashley has competed at numerous jackpot show throughout California, and showmanship has been an area she has prided herself on competing in through When she isn’t being flipped through the air while working on her gymnastic techniques and the years. Ashley routines, Ashley is in another show arena. From is a showman at showmanship to showing market animals, heart, claiming Ashley is dedicated and on a path of success. first in many showmanship contest at her county fairs, she considers on of her biggest wins so far, winning Champion Jr. Showman at Western Bonanza in 2012 and Res. Champion Jr. Showman in 2013, along with third place at Master Showmanship at the California State Fair.

Ashley challenges herself and has high hopes of one day bringing home another gold from the showring, a prestigious golden bear for California State Fair’s elite showmanship contest, “The Best of the Best” competition. With her continued work ethic and drive inside the showring and outside, Ashley’s future is nothing but golden from showing to wowing the world of acrobatic gymnastics.

Del was the first born of twin boys on November 14, 1940, in Hanford, CA to Portuguese parents Francis E. Clement, and Evelyn A. (Pinheiro) Clement. Del was raised in Hanford and attended Catholic grammar school. At Hanford High School he was a star athlete, lettering in football, basketball and baseball. He was also very involved with the Future Farmers of America. Del and his twin brother, Cal, were on three state winning FFA judging teams: Land, Milks and Meats. In 1957 their Meats judging team won first place in the nation. This is where Del found his vocation.

Throughout his lifetime, Del developed and nurtured lifelong friendships. He will be missed by many for his friendship, generosity, charming humor and community support of youth activities.

Del is survived by his wife of 34 years, Becky A. (Snyder) Clement. He is also survived by his children Scharlet T. Marmolejo and her husband Perry of Orcutt, Tanna D. Haddick and her husband Keith of Nipomo, Shane A.

Del was the barbecue master behind the scrumptious dinners for the CJLA banquets.

In 1979 he accepted the teaching position at Lompoc HS as Ag Dept Head, where he continued teaching, coaching judging teams, and advising FFA. It was in Lompoc that Del developed Brave Blue Blood. He enjoyed their sports programs immensely, especially football. Not only did he BBQ to raise money for his own Ag programs, but he also devoted countless hours feeding the teams and supporting Lompoc HS Sports fundraisers.

Del received another Master Degree of sorts in 1998 when he was presented with an inseparable puppy he named Casino by his FFA Chapter as a retirement gift after 18 years of service at Lompoc HS. Although Del retired, he continued his support of many high school

Stan Rose

Santa Maria. The two were married on June 28, 1970 and their marriage was described by Stan as a continuous anniversary. Stans life focused around faith, family, and fun.

Those who knew him always got a laugh out of his random and tell it like it is sense of humor. Stan loved fishing, woodworking, camping, travelling, and bicycling. One of his more recent and proudest accomplishments was cycling across the United States, at the age of 64, with his college roommate. He continued to live each day to the fullest right up until his last moments, when he passed away on a bike ride, vacationing with his wife Helen.

Stanley Allen Rose, 70, of Santa Maria, beloved husband, father, teacher, and mentor, passed away on June 12, 2013.

Stan was born in Hanford, California, on April 13, 1943 to Manuel C. Rose and Margaret C. Rose. He graduated from Hanford High School in 1961, then attended Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo where he received his bachelor of science degree in Agriculture Business. Following college, he enlisted in the army, where he served as a chaplains assistant. After his service, he returned to Hanford where he was recruited by his high school ag teacher to teach agriculture science at Righetti High School in Santa Maria, California. He taught at the high school for the next 35 years and received his masters degree in Agriculture Education during his career.

Stan is survived by his wife of 43 years, Helen and his five daughters, Trisha Rose Hickey (Mark), Jennifer Rose Williams (Brent), Julie Rose Silva (Edward III), Cynthia Rose, and Colette Rose. He is also survived by his five grandchildren, Sierra Hickey, Colin Hickey, Ava Silva, Eddie Silva, and Ryan Williams. He is survived by his sister Patricia Moore of Boston, Massachusetts.

While at Righetti, Stan coached numerous FFA judging teams. Most notably he lead the state in poultry judging state champions. He became a leader in the California Agriculture Teachers Association where he held many offices. In 2010, Stan was inducted into the California Agriculture Teachers Hall of Fame. He was a beloved FFA advisor and mentor to thousands of young high school students throughout his career. Mr. Roses main focus was teaching his students the importance of goal setting, being positive, and never giving up.

Stan didnt have problems, he only had challenges and opportunities for growth. He truly believed you could do anything you set your mind to and instilled these beliefs in his students and children.

Donations can be made to the Stan Rose Memorial Fund at Rabobank for FFA scholarships.

In Stan's own words, he hit the jackpot on March 14, 1970 when he became engaged to then Helen Ann DeBernardi of
