from the

editor

Yahoo!! We finally got some rain! It has been dry for so long this winter, that I had pretty much given up hope that even a few drops would fall from the sky. But sure enough, the weather patterns changed, or shifted, or whatever they do, and clouds moved in and brought rain with them. Even though it hasn’t been enough to change the drought we are in, and we need a lot more to make some of the worries go away, it sure was enjoyable to watch it come down and soak into the ground. On the opposite end of the spectrum from our West Coast weather, the Midwest and East have been bombarded with severe winter weather! They are tired of too much bad weather, and here, we will take all we can get! I thank the Lord for all that he gives, and pray that he has more on the agenda for our area! I also send up prayers for those dealing with severe weather, that He will keep them safe and secure. Before we know it, spring and summer will be here and we will be wishing for a little bit of that cool weather again! So it seems that we should be thankful each day and enjoy what comes our way, no matter what it is!

As I sat down to write this editorial, it was raining again! A good time to write, sitting here in the house warm and cozy! I was thinking about how fast the holidays came and went, and then for me, January and February zoom by, mostly because of the CJLA Banquet we put on for our members. It is a huge event to plan and put on, but each year it always comes together and is a great evening for everyone who attends. I have so many friends and family who help and pitch in to make it a success! Thank you for ALL your hard work! I couldn’t do it without you!

The opinions or views expressed in all editorials are those only of the writer or persons interviewed and not the Pacific Showcase.

Also, I want to thank the sponsors who generously donate so we can give the members awards for their achievements. There is nothing better than seeing the kids on stage as their accomplishments are being announced, and then rewarding them for their hard work. The unwavering support of so many for the CJLA is truly inspiring! It is difficult to find the words to say Thank You and express how deeply moved I am by everyone’s dedication to the CJLA program. This is all for the kids, the youth who love to raise and show livestock, and who have made the CJLA a premier organization for 14 years. May there be many more great years ahead!

Browse through the Sponsor list and when you see those people or businesses, be sure to say “thank you” again for their support. For our younger CJLA members, look at those who placed in the top ten in 2013 and set your goals to be in their place at the end of 2014. Setting goals is an incentive to strive even harder for what you want. You can do it – anything you want! Say you can – and you will!

Time to Plan Ahead!

As spring and summer roll up on us, we have kid features in upcoming issues that you will want to be a part of. The May/June issue highlights the “All Around Kid” section, and then in the July/August issue we spotlight the “Graduates of 2014”. Details are advertised in the magazine, so read up on what you need to send in for your child or someone you know. Don’t miss the deadlines for each issue – we want to see you in those sections!

The May/June Issue is our

Junior Nationals and County Fairs Issue

I have written enough for now – and you can get on with reading the rest of this issue. Don’t forget to let us know if you move or your information changes, so you don’t miss an issue. Also, if you want to receive information from us by email, be sure to get us your email address and we will add you to our list. Many sales and important notices are now being sent this way and it can be at your fingertips immediately.

"Be An Ag-Vocate"

By Lauren Ivey, 1st Place Essay Contest Winner, Senior Division As we think to the future and imagine the world decades from now, it is essential to remember that it will be under the care of today’s youth.

The young people on the end of the halter, chain or show stick at today’s livestock show will be the owners of tomorrow’s businesses, breeders of livestock and representatives of the industry we advocate for. It is the children who are waking up early to rinse cattle before school, and staying out late because their doe is kidding who will be the responsible, driven individuals that we count on to maintain our world’s major food supply.

However, we are not born with this unstoppable drive which blossoms into the professionals of the future. It is instilled through agriculture based organizations and encouraged though friends, family and mentors.

The California Junior Livestock Association provides all of these learning experiences for their members. CJLA is our classroom, judges, parents and coaches are our constant teachers, and we grade ourselves based on our livestock projects and relationships we are building.

How we react to the lessons, challenges and pressures of competition directly reflects on ourselves, as well as both the organization and ultimately the entire industry. Whether we realize it or not, the public is constantly scrutinizing every pan of feed, training method and treatment we provide to our livestock. Their watchful eye is one of many reasons why it is essential to ensure that the way we treat our livestock is not only ethical, but kind. Although we see these animals as our projects, which we work to shape and grow all year into a successful representative of the species we show, the public views each lamb, goat, pig, steer or heifer for the individual it is, and expects them to be treated that way. This is not to say that we are to treat our jackpot animals as pets, because they are not, but rather be reminded to not find ourselves caught in the trap of efficiency and competition and become forgetful of the idea that when we walk into the barn we are the sole provider for that project, and they rely on us directly to care for them properly.

The California Junior Livestock Association is building exhibitors who genuinely care for their livestock, and it reflects in the bonds we create with each and every one of our four-legged friends. These relationships are on display when you see our members pep-talking their steer before entering the ring for showmanship and the goat standing on the fence bleating as the showman they recognize makes his way down the aisle.

Agriculture as an industry, specifically livestock production, is constantly subject to harsh judgment and misplaced stereotypes. These claims make us as producers, and CJLA members alike, appear to be the enemy of our livestock instead of their caretakers. The battle of proving the innocence of the industry has been raging for years and with new animal rights campaigns and concerned members of the public multiplying, it is our job as the next generation of agriculturalists to maintain sound practices. This includes while we are participating in CJLA-sanctioned activities as well as preparation at home.

While raising our projects it is important to ensure that every morsel of feed presented to our animals would pass the most rigorous drug test, every practice conducted to improve the quality of our livestock is ethical and at the end of the day we weigh the interest of our animals above the value of our personal success. Whether or not you are planning on continuing to raise livestock after CJLA, or consider it your high school hobby, you are considered a piece in the nationwide puzzle of agriculture and it is our

responsibility to maintain and develop positive habits of livestock management. The “tricks of the trade” we learn now will be the everyday practices of tomorrow, therefore it is important that both our mentors teaching us, and ourselves mentoring younger exhibitors are careful to encourage proper behavior.

However, simply being an honest agriculturalist behind the closed barn door is not the goal of CJLA. The program provides exhibitors with the opportunity to advocate for the industry at nearly every end of the state and almost every weekend, especially at the start of the year. As soon as your trailer rolls onto the fairgrounds you become a representative of the association. Make it your 2014 resolution to not brush off the public when they ask simple questions about your project, but rather use the opportunity to teach. When you were young and uninformed, someone took the time to teach you what they know. Whether it was a parent, sibling, or friend, that person was patient with your repetitive questions and mistakes, and it is our turn as CJLA members to pay it forward. Agricultural illiteracy is worldwide pandemic, sweeping the minds of the uninformed and causing the public to develop misplaced apprehension towards the industry. If that same person were to listen to the passion behind a showman’s voice when talking about their project, they would clearly see the good will of the industry and the positive attributions CJLA has to the future of the agriculture. The California Junior Livestock Association is not made of children who will be members of agriculture later, but rather young adults who are a key piece of it now. Although we view the judge in the middle of the ring with his cowboy hat and unreadable poker face as our harshest critic, it is really the family with children sitting curiously in the bleachers that we strive to impress.

Based on the exhibitors I have had the pleasure of meeting and growing up with through the organization, I am confident that even the most judgmental would nod their heads at the program. The proof stands in the humble exhibitor taking their picture at the backdrop, and the genuine smile when it is the showmen next to him who receives the handshake.

CJLA gives its exhibitors a chance to win as well as lose, work together but also have their time in the spotlight, and most importantly, both learn and teach.

Through learning about the industry at a young age, the association has sprouted a passion in its exhibitors that has overwhelmed every event and activity it hosts and reaches beyond the barns and extends throughout countless communities through confident, outspoken members who are proud to be part of the industry through the CJLA organization. The association is a major part in both the growth of knowledge within its exhibitors, and providing them with the chance to bring that information to the public beyond the walls of the livestock community. The California Junior Livestock Association is creating a spark in its members that has grown into a wildfire across our youth, ready to take on the agricultural industry as our state's best advocates and livestock producers roll up their sleeves and step into the show ring.

"Gluing the State Together"

On a more symbolic level, I like to think of myself as the glue that holds my family and team together. For a successful team, all the parts must work and mesh together. A team is only as strong as its weakest link. I take it as my job to make sure all of the members of my team are working together towards a common goal. Sometimes my job can be tough but once the glue takes shape it is hard to break apart.

By Josh Mendez, 1st Place Essay Contest Winner, Intermediate Division Stephen Covey once said, “Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the fundamental principle that holds all relationships.” If I could be any piece of show equipment, I would be a can of adhesive. Not only would I have a practical use but a more symbolic use as well. Adhesive spray makes the art that is fitting show stock possible. There are so many dimensions to fitting that are unlocked with the power of adhesive. More importantly than just practical uses, the adhesive has a more symbolic meaning.

I like to think of myself as the glue that holds our family, our team together. Whether we are out in the barn getting ready for the show or 300 miles away, we know that adhesive and togetherness are critical in all aspects.

The thirty minutes leading up to the show are chaotic and hectic. We run all around the fairgrounds getting ready for the show to begin but one thing makes us slow down and take our time. This one thing is fitting.

This is why I chose a can of adhesive, because it takes the shape of any mold you would like or, in other words, is adaptable. In addition to this, once the glue hardens you cannot break it apart forming the strongest bond of our team. It is important to treat this responsibility with respect and maintain the characteristics of the adhesive spray. I like to call this caring for the outer shell of the can. If the can cannot spray adhesive, then what good is it? It has lost its functionality. In accordance with this is the fact that the outer shell of the can may not be the prettiest at times in the tack box, but if it works the inside is what counts the most. These inner characteristics are called intangibles. They are what separate CJLA members from the rest in terms of responsibility, adaptability and sportsmanship especially. With all of these things in mind, the CJLA member acts as the glue that holds together the industry of agriculture in the state of California.

Fitting is much more than just a necessary chore on show day, it is an art form. Adhesive and a market lamb are the sheep showman’s paintbrush and canvas. He can create magic with a small amount of glue and a carding comb. As a sheep showman there is no greater feeling than being complimented on the fitting and presentation of your lamb in the ring by the judge. Fitting is a learned skill and I strive to learn more and more about this specific art form. I am lucky enough to be able to watch some of the best in the business get sheep ready for the ring so I can study their techniques for the purpose of tweaking my own to become as skilled as them. One of my role models, Fidel Suarez, is amazing at fitting and he makes the animals look beyond beautiful.

He displays the characteristics needed to fit livestock, which include patience, creativity and hand-eye coordination. Whenever we work together I cannot help but stare at him while he fits. I try to copy his techniques whenever I can.

There are many items in my show box, but perhaps the most underrated and most important would be adhesive spray. Adhesive spray allows for the true creativity and art form to come out in each sheep showman that is fitting.

In addition to its practical use, the adhesive takes on a more symbolic meaning for me, working as the glue that unites us all. These characteristics and intangibles make CJLA members stand out above all other showman. They allow us to glue the state together.

"If you were your livestock project, how would you want to be cared for?"

Proper hoof care is a must-have for show heifers, and going to a hoof trimmer once a month can result in a smooth-walking, ribbon-winning show heifer! The causes of hoof conditions can be divided into categories: disease, genetics, environment, and feed issues. Cracked hooves and foot rot are also very common. If I were a cow, I would find this very uncomfortable!

By Elizabeth Vietheer, 1st Place Essay Contest Winner, Junior Division

I keep my heifers in the barn during the day, but put them out at night to get some exercise and enjoy the fresh, cool air. It’s comfortable in the barn - clean shavings in the pens and fans on to keep the air moving and cool. I try to keep my heifers clean and rinse them often to help make their hair look good. I make sure that the barn and pasture is free from broken objects such as old equipment, broken boards, or old wire that could be tripped over or stepped on, resulting in serious injury.

I have been around cattle all of my life and have had show heifers since I was six, and have always enjoyed them. I decided to enter this essay contest because the topic is a very common thought to me. Almost every time I work with my cattle, I wonder what it would be like to be in their “hooves,” and how I would like to be treated as a show heifer.

Of course I would want to be treated with respect, but I have other concerns as well, including good health and nutrition standards, comfortable surroundings, and high safety expectations.

Comfort is key for good behavior, at least to me. I think that stressful show days are a major problem, especially if you want to win. If I were a show calf, prepar-ations such as being rinsed often and tied with my head up for at least an hour a day would get me used to being patient. Being clipped once or twice rather than right before or during a show would get me used to the clippers, and the same feeding schedule at the show or jackpot as at home would result in a happier, less stressed heifer.

As a heifer, I would have no control over what my health was, other than staying away from dangerous objects and edibles, unless my owner was very responsible. Even so, I would want to be given the correct vaccines and wormers, specifically for IBR, BRSV, and PI3.

In addition to fresh water and healthy feed, I would require additional salts and minerals that a show heifer doesn’t always get from hay and grain. The correct feeder is also important to keep the feed clean and out of reach of harmful animals and pests that can nest in and contaminate feeds.

All of these things are important to me because I try to do these now for my show heifers. I love my cattle and would hate to hurt them. There are other things that I will learn along the way, but right now this is how I would want to be cared for if I were one of my pampered show heifers.

Flies and other bug-like pests, including bees, wasps, gnats, and virtually any kind of biting and flying insect, need to be kept under control.

I know my heifers hate flies by how they stomp and swish their tails, and I am certain that if I were a cow I would stomp all day if fly spray and other skin-healthy pesticides were not sprayed on my bug-covered body and legs. march/april 2014

Attention, Goat Exhibitors and Breeders!

In our Hot Shots and on the Table of Contents, we try to include a mix of all the species we cover, and we need more goat photos! We'd love for you to send us more photos -- showring candids, fitting and grooming candids, barn candids, you name it! Let's see those kids and the kids who raise the kids!

Thanks!

Call us for Spring Lambs!
